Robi Calling
Robi Calling, the long awaited newly recorded music by multiple Na Hoku Hanohano Award winner "Sistah Robi," is pure, sublime, Robi Kahakalau. Among Hawaii's most versatile entertainers, Robi's sweet soulful vocals and luscious harmonies have been her much loved signature sound since she first stepped on stage as the lead female vocalist with the Hawaiian Style Band.
Robi once again included a taste of her favorite musical styles in Robi Calling - Hawaiian, Island Contemporary, Reggae, Tahitian, Rock and Jazz, for her fans to geat upon. Highlights include a youthful take on the Makaha Sons of Ni'ihau's beautiful "Ke'ala", "Na Moku 'Eha / Ka Lei E" which blends two traditional Hawaiian songs and the timeless Motown classic, "Cruisin'" presented as a velvety duet. Along with a talented array of hand-picked musicians, Robi has successfully created another solid collection of favorites with her 4th solo release, Robi Calling.

Learn MoreBumbye
Those who are fans of Kūpaoa's music are sure to love this newest assembly of songs and those discovering them for the first time will be quick to fall in love with this talented pair.
Learn MoreManawa
"Manawa" means "time." Mailani has taken the "time" to develop her craft. First with the very successful and award-winning duo Keahiwai, next with the all girl powered Mighty J and at last taking center stage with her first solo album, Mailani. Mailani won her "Female Vocalist of the Year" and the respect of fans and the music community as a top notch solo artist and composer.
Mailani has taken the "time" to honor her culture and hone her craft. She speaks Hawaiian and has studied voice under one of the true greats, Teresa Bright.
Manawa is proof of the evolution of a true artist. An artist that has performed all over the world. An artist that has become a better singer, a better composer, a more commanding performer, a more accomplished guitarist, a tender Hawaiian poet. Mailani is taking her craft to new heights with her brand new CD Manawa.
Learn MoreStrumming My Ukulele
Troy's light and bright signature ukulele style sparkles on these Hawaiian pearls: "Koke'e," "Waialae," and "Pua Hone," and other local favorites. He recreated a playful Ka'au Crater Boys flavor on "Wild Side of Life" and "Spiders and Snakes" while his originals confirm his ability to stay on the cutting edge of Island music. With a little help from award winning musicians Jeff Rasmussen and Robi Kahakalau, Strumming My Ukulele overflows with the lively sounds of Hawaii's masterful ukulele artist, Troy Fernandez.

"Musically gifted, well blended, and pleasing to the ear, three voices, one sound bring together the warmth of the sun..."Na Leo Pilimehana" known today simply as, NA LEO! In a first time effort of a Hawaiian and Hapa Haole recording, these three native beauties now entreat us, the listener, to exquisite vocal blends and rich harmonies.

Hawaiian Holidays: Christmas With Na Leo
"Once again, Nalani Choy, Lehua Kalima, and Angela Morales speak to our hearts with their unique combination of sounds, story lines and finesse. Sparkling new gems interspersed with golden classics offer the listeners an eclectic array of holiday treasures.
Their characteristic blend, always sweet and angelic, has been a trademark from their humble beginnings as members of the Kamehameha Schools Concert Glee Club. Today, Na Leo Pilimehana is a household name, not only here in Hawaii, but internationally as well. And yet, with all the accolades with have come their way, they remain as humble and grateful as the day they started. Mele Kalikimaka!" - Randie Kamuela Fong
This is an enhanced CD with a bonus video of Hosana (Ua Mau) - PC and Mac Compatible!
Learn MoreRising in Love
Rising in Love is classic Lehua. Original, rich in romance and supported by an amazing band featuring Shawn Pimental on guitar & drums, Michael Grande on keyboards & piano, Imua Garza on electric & acoustic guitar, Randy Aloya on bass, Kaleo del Sol on guitar & vocals, Jay Dee Mannes on pedal steel, Michael Paulo on - saxophone and Jon Porlas on percussion. While still performing as a vital part of Na Leo, Lehua Kalima spreads her wings releasing this much-demanded solo CD debut.
Lehua's talent extends beyond the sultry tone it lends to the group's sound and her lyrics have been award winning and memorable. Prevailing with three Na- Ho- ku- Hanohano Awards for Best Song of the Year in 1996 for "Flying With Angels," in 1999 for "Rest of Your Life" and in 2001 for "Saving Forever," Lehua thrives in an unmatched category as a lyricist.
While at Kamehameha Schools, Lehua Kalima joined with two good friends, Nalani Choy and Angela Morales to form Na Leo Pilimehana. In their senior year, they won a huge radio competition in Honolulu, Brown Bags to Stardom, playing in front of thousands at the Waikiki Shell. Nineteen albums and 20 Na Hoku Hanohano awards later, they continue to record and perform throughout the world.

Aia I Hi'ialo
In a culture that honors the legacies of the past, this Hawaiian trio of talented musicians pays homage to their roots while creating a unique and progressive sound that leaves their mark in contemporary Hawaiian music.
This worldview is the essence of Hiikua's music, which is either composed or performed by Kalehua Krug, Kamuela Kimokeo and Blake Leoki-Haili. The group's name derives from the Hawaiian word that literally means "to carry on one's back." Hi`ikua accepts this responsibility and intends with each song to achieve that goal: to speak of their history in words and music; to enjoy each moment of that expression, and in sharing this with you, to hope that their message will find its way into the future.
The music on Aia I Hi`ialo reflects the fond memories of Hi`ikua's parents and grandparents, the things that they taught, and the messages that they shared. These memories are often the source of inspiration for mele that are written to help remember important life lessons. Learn More
Dance is universal. Regardless of what language or culture you call your own, if you witness hula, you always identify it with Hawai'i. This small speck of land, in the biggest ocean on Earth, connects Hawai'i with the world and often that connection is through hula. We are not confined to dance hula with just our feet. What brings hula to life is that the hands as well as the music, tell the story of the people of Hawai'i. The music resonates from our hearts and souls and comes to life with hula.
Learn More'Aina
On the heels of Mailani's self-titled debut solo album, which garnered her the prestigious "Female Vocalist of the Year" Award, comes her brand new CD entitled `Aina. (English translation: Earth, land) With her feet well planted in the "'aina," this brave artist continues to challenge herself with each project. Mailani is originally from the very successful, award-winning group, Keahiwai, and the rocking trio, Mighty J. Her first CD proved that she had the ability to succeed as a solo artist. Her sophomore album 'Aina gives us much more. 'Aina includes some of the expected contemporary swagger which her fans and radio will love, but there is also something really surprising here that takes Mailani to a whole new level as an artist. Her delivery of some traditional Hawaiian pieces will impress and delight anyone who loves Hawaiian music. Here is a modern Hawaiian woman who knows how to entertain and have fun and here too is a Hawaiian woman with the depth and respect for the generations that came before her. 'Aina is both gorgeous and entertaining. Another big step forward from an artist that continues to "Wow."

Learn MoreAmy Hanaiali'i and Slack Key Masters of Hawai'i
A ground breaking collaboration between Hawaii's top selling female vocalist Amy Hanaialii and top performers/composers Jeff Peterson, Cyril Pahinui, Dennis Kamakahi, Sonny Lim and Chino Montero in the slack key guitar tradition.
One of the wonderful things about music is its ability to bring people together to share a connection that reaches beyond borders and boundaries. Music can immediately bond souls and create common ground. What happens when kindred spirits who share a deep respect for each other and Hawaiian culture come together to share their music in collaboration? We believe this recording is a great example of just this – creativity, camaraderie, spontaneity, passion, joy, laughter, gratitude, and above all aloha. We hope this recording is as much a joy to listen to, as it was to create.

The rug is great. The colors depicted on the web site are spot on. The rug is plush and very good quality. It arrived on time and I will definately by from Rugs USA again.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I received one of the 3 carpets I ordered yesterday. While I like the quality, it doesn't look at all like the carpet in this photo. The part that is supposed to be gold looks like a dark tan. The part that is supposed to be red is a taupe. I am going to send it back because it's not the colors of my room which is gold and red. It's thick and luscious, so if you don't care about the colors, it's a nice carpet. Colors are very important to me when I am decorating, so I can't recommend this product.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.I bought 3 of these rugs in varying sizes. They are beautiful! I absolutely love them! They're perfect in my entry hall and dining room, and the colors were very accurately depicted on your website.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The colors appear to be more vibrant in this photo than in person; however, it is a beautiful rug and looks great in my family room.
The quality of this rug was outstanding, much thicker than similar rugs we currently have. Colors are exactly as depicted in ad. Shipping was quick. I will use this company again.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I love this rug! I had ordered it 6 years before for anotoher house but when I moved it was too big so I sold it. Since then I've had hardwood floors installed and now my dining room will accomodate this rug so I ordered the same rug again. It's a very thick wool rug with vibrant colors. I bought the black green and burgundy color rug. I love it!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The colors in this rug are so vibrant. They are so perfect on the drab porcelain tile floor!

Tonight's Choctawhatchee-Navarre clash won't decide the District 2-6A football race, but it could position the winner for a title run.
Both teams are 1-0 in district play. The Big Green Indians are just 2-3 overall, but they've won two straight, including a 31-28 upset last week against Niceville at Joe Etheridge Stadium, Choctaw's home field. Navarre is 4-1, its only loss a 25-24 setback at Pensacola that the Raiders dominated and led into the fourth quarter.
Navarre coach Jay Walls said in published reports the Raiders can't let down against the Indians.
"Their last two wins, you have to give them a lot of credit," he said. "Beating Niceville is just a huge win for them … When we look at film of them, we see a really good team."
The teams have played two common opponents, Pensacola Catholic and Niceville. Choctaw lost to Catholic 9-7 in its season-opener, while Navarre edged Niceville 35-28 and shutout Catholic 26-0 in road tests.
Both teams rely on strong defenses and sound ground games. Both teams are holding opponents to less than 18 points per game and both feature prolific runners (Navarre's Jay Warren, 563 yards rushing, six touchdowns, and Choctawhatchee's John Hicks, averaging more than 160 yards per game in the Indians' wins). The Raiders may have an edge offensively thanks to playmakers Nick Benton, Jordan Leggett and Gatlin Casey, all of whom can run the ball or catch it, and slippery quarterback Andrew Rieves, who has added 223 yards and two touchdowns rushing and averages about 100 yards and a touchdown per game through the air. Johnny Robinson-Pettus makes sure the Raider rushing attack doesn't drop off when Warren leaves the game. He's carried the ball for 263 yards and four touchdowns.
Jordan Leggett, who has committed verbally to play at Clemson University, is the Rieves' favored target, The 6-foot-6 slot-back has 20 catches for 293 yards and three touchdowns.
"Their scheme is tough," Choctawhatchee coach Greg Thomas said. "On the line of scrimmage they have so many weapons. You can't overload for the run or they'll hurt you over the top, and it goes vice versa. They're well coached, physical and very sound, so it's going to be a big test."
The Raiders have played only one home game, a season-opening win against Pensacola Washington. With four of its first five games on the road, the schedule gives added emphasis to Navarre's traditional homecoming festivities tonight. Kickoff is scheduled at 7:30 p.m. at Bennett C. Russell Stadium.
Fort Walton Beach (4-1, 1-0), the district's only other unbeaten team, plays at Crestview tonight. Niceville, which won last year's district title, beat Mosley 42-10 Thursday at Mosley to improve to 3-3, 1-2 in District 2-6A).

Date: Wednesday, April 4th, 2012
Time: 1:30 pm
Duration: 1 hour
Location: Room 147, Center for the Sciences
Contact: berman, Danielle Berman
Sari Suryanarayanan, Ph.D. and postdoctoral researcher at UW-Madison, will be giving a talk titled: "Vanishing Bees and the Politics of Knowledge."
The talk will explore:
How do historically influenced relationships between entomologists, honey bee scientists,, regulators, and beekeepers affect what we (don't) know about Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD)--a perplexing phenomenon of widespread honey bee deaths? How does the accepted knowledge stand to affect the lives of various stakeholders? My presentation explores these questions in the context of a controversy over the role of certain insecticides in CCD.
This event is free and open to students, faculty, and staff.

Outside of our regular assessment (examination) periods, Deerfield limits the number of tests and papers students can have due on Mondays and Fridays. We accomplish this by prohibiting departments from assessing on one or the other of those days.*
*Exception: On the last Friday class day of each term, any subject not giving an assessment during Assessment Week may test or require submission of a major piece of work.
Academic work at Deerfield is graded on a numerical scale where the minimum passing grade is 60 and the median grades are generally between 85 and 90. Grades are reported to students and their parents at the mid-terms and ends of term. At the end of each term, grades are accompanied by course medians (i.e., the median of all grades earned in English 200) and evaluative written comments. In addition, at the mid-point of the fall term, written comments are posted for new seniors/PGs.
The assessment schedule for the 2013-14 academic year may be found here.
Advisor reports, which review a student's progress and performance in the dormitory and in co-curricular activities, are available online for parents at mid-year (January) and at year's end (June).
Deerfield requires that new students take placement tests for Mathematics and Language before they come to school, to ensure they are are placed in the right course.
The Academy also has standardized testing at the school throughout the year. Students will be given the opportunity to take tests, including SATs, ACTs, and AP exams, all at the Deerfield campus.
An Academic Honor Roll is determined at the conclusion of each term. Eligibility is based on the following criteria:
Cum Laude is a national honor society. Students who have compiled a grade point average of 92.0 or higher for each of the six terms of sophomore and junior year are eligible for election to Cum Laude in the summer before senior year. An additional group of seniors who are in the top ten percent of their class is elected just before graduation. Cum Laude scholars typically excel in a wide variety of disciplines, are outstanding citizens, and possess the organization's core qualities of excellence, justice, and honor.
Grade averages are calculated using the definitions and formulas described here (pdf).

I don't understand why dropping fallback mode is so big deal?
If one's computer does not have graphics card or driver capable of running opengl OR computer cpu is not fast enough to use llvmpipe, then the one should probably not run modern full-blown desktop like Gnome or Kde, the changes are that it is too slow anyway. There is plenty of more suitable lightweight DE options to choose for.
I have virtual machine which has Gnome 3. It runs llvmpipe, and the speed is ok, although it is not "fluid". I have desktop computer I use heavily via vino. And using Gnome3 via vino seems to be fast enough even when running it over ~1Mbit line. And of course on my laptop, I am using Gnome 3 with open source intel driver, and that is fluid. So, all of my use cases are covered by just normal Gnome 3, I have no use for the fallback mode. I did try it on my vino remote use case, but I did found it lacking.

Broken stud removal - snapped extractor...
On the subject of intake/exhaust removal...
The very back exhaust stud has been broken ever since having my Hornet. When I put my Twin H on I tried removing it, but snapped the extractor off in the stud. I'm getting ready to adjust the valves and while the fender is off would like to get at it again. Any suggestions dealing with the broken bit of extractor left in the stud?
Thanks.Six in a row makes it GO! -
I am a bit of a coward and would not attempt this unless I had the block in a machine shop where I could set it up and bore it out. It is a lot of work to get to removing an extractor. However, the extractor is most likely grade 8 and most attempts to drill it out would only destroy the hole. I would expect that the hole would need to be rethreaded--I have never been able to save one.... As bad as I shake, I would be lucky to get a drill within three inches of the damaged hole.Brownie
I have Mig welded a small nut on the extractor and was able to free it from the bolt it was broke in. Then I had to drill out the stud and re-tap the threads and use sealer on the new stud. If the break is under flush on the block then you might have to take a carbide debur bit and work on smoothing the break surface of the extractor so you can get a small drill bit to center on that extractor. You will have to buy a very good drill bit(s) to see if your extractor will allow you to drill it out.
I have had to pull my engine out of one car to get it repaired for a broken stud so it is always a gamble. Patience and percervierence pay off as long as you know when to stop before you damage more than what you bargained for.Matt Matthews

I have never had any joy using an extractor in a broken stud. They invariably break, and you are left in the quandary you find yourself in. You are going to have to remove the manifold to work on this. I have heard of such devices as spark eroders, but have no experience of them, but it may be worth investigating. Otherwise you are going to have to drill a number of holes right around the broken extractor with a 1/8" drill, as close as you can to the extractor, keeping the holes as close together as you can without breaking into the adjacent hole. You will have to be very careful that you don't break your drill in this process, so proceed very carefully. Then when you have completely drilled right around, punch the extractor and attached metal through. Get a heli-coil kit and drill and tap the hole to take the new thread. The kits have the correct tap, coils and inserting tool. The tapped hole probably goes into the water jacket, so you will have to use a suitable sealant in the threads. Good luck,
GeoffIf you're stuck in a hole, stop digging. -
I have done it by useing a cutting torch. Heat the busted stud until cherry red, kick in the oxy until it blasts out in your face. Repeat until the bulk of the busted stud is gone. or your clothes are on fire. Let it all cool and carefully chase the threads. The cast iron block melting point is much higher than the stud, so you most likely won't hurt a thing except your hide. It takes guts to do it... but it works. Worst case will be having to clean up the hole and install a Heli-Coil.
Good luck! -
Alright... It's flush, to level with the block. Which complicates things. I've done some reading and probably what I'll try first is dripping a bit of nitric acid right there to loosen up the extractor bit, I get that out and I'll just drill out for a heli-coil.
I like your thinking SuperDave... All else fails I'll give the hot-wrench a go.Six in a row makes it GO! -
Here is what I did, I called Eric,s tap & stud removal Inc dba Eric's lazer out 951-264-9177
He is in Riverside CA so I don't know if the shipping both ways will kill you but he will fix it like new. -
Hey Grim,
I'll wade in here amongst the pros. Do ya have an arc welder? If so I can send you 3 or 4 rods that will work in the situation and they will bend without flux breaking off. As mentioned above take a grade 8 7/16 nut and flat washer, tack the washer to the nut If you're gonna use your Mig. Put the nut and washer over the broken stud, fill the nut with weld. While it's still pretty warm start working the nut back forth little at a time. May to too tight to get the mig tip back there. The heat does more to help move the stud than anything.
Hope this helps,
Using heat will break the rust seal. You can buy aerosols that not only freeze and shrink studs but also squirt a lubricant in the broken seal between the stud and block. If you use a 1/8th drill around the broken stud, I think the hole that ends up will be too big for a 3/8 standard helicoil and you may need to get a machineshop to make a special stud. A stud that is say 7/16 or 1/2" one end and the original stud diameter the other end. Good luck.
I stepped drilled out the old studs [ I had two broken off flat] on my Fifty nash] to just where the threads started to show. I picked out as much steel from the threads as i could. I then worked a tap that size to clean it out . You have to have patience. Walk away if it isn't going well. Oh yea, the engine was out when I did it. Heck ,What have you got to lose. Jim K
Of course you'll have to get that broken tap out first but it can be done. There brittle enough that you can break it in pieces. Good luck -
I've done the "welding washer and nut" on many times to get a broken stud out. Worked every time ---If it breaks off, just weld another one on. Sometimes, I have had to do it a couple of times but it always turned out okay.
As mentioned, this one is broken off flush inside the block, so welding anything on to it is not an option. If anyone else is ever faced with this dilemma, don't try an easyout, they invariably break off, as the stud is usually rusted in.If you're stuck in a hole, stop digging.
I have EDM'd out many broken drill bits, taps, and extractors in a large Hansvedt or Charmilles EDM. I know there are some companies with portable EDM's for on site broken stud removal. Take a look at this: http://portableedm.com/uploads/stud_bolt_pin_removal_examples2.pdf
This is a business I could see myself doing! EDM is the "spark erosion" that Geoff mentioned. I ran EDM's for like 20 years. It's a nice skill to have, but most shops today use the newer full sized Charmilles CNC sinker EDMs. These are very expensive, even used, and take up 60-80 sq ft of floor space in a shop. The travelling portable EDm for broken bolt , screw and stud removal sounds like a good gig for me to look into. Kenneth -
Ken, that's another tool going on my ever expanding wish list.Six in a row makes it GO!
Geoff, I have gotten ones like that out -I build up a "tit" in the center of the "broken flush" bolt, high enough to put the nut over and then weld the nut in place. Sometimes just the welding heat will help break it loose enough to remove. Gently work it back and forth as you back it out.
Well, I can't remember how far it goes in... If I'm lucky I can weld a nut on there with the inner fender off. That would be easy... Nothing seems to be easy anymore.Six in a row makes it GO!
Remember Murphy's law -"The likelihood of failure is inversely proportional to the ease of repair". And "If you fiddle with a thing long enough, it will ultimately break."If you're stuck in a hole, stop digging.
Easy-outs never worked for me. I quit using them when I was a kid (heck of a long time ago). The damn things break easily - only work sometimes on non rusty bolts. I get everything out of the way that I can, then carefully punch mark the center of the broken stud (take your time-do it right), make yourself a guide (easy lathe job) so you can drill a perpendicular hole ( two little lips on the inside if it's below face level). If you make it right you can use it to find center when you get old and shake and can't see anymore. Drill through with what you KNOW is a drill smaller than tap size but is close. You'll probably hit threads on one side because you won't make a perfect dead center hole. Plan on a lot of years of swearing because you didn't quite have the knack of it. Then get your dremmel out and, using a magnifying glass, burr off enough to find the threads on the rest of the hole. When you've found them, you can use a sharp, hard punch to catch the thread at the top. Generally, I've been able to pull the old threads out with needle-nosed pliers. Then thereare always heli-coils. Good luck.

I've always liked: "If it ain't broke - get a bigger hammer." of which I have several. My favorite being the large, ancient, 5 lb hunk of brass I found deep in my father's tool box. It has persuaded many a stubborn object.Six in a row makes it GO!
Hire a welder,it's probably not going to be their first rodeo. Kamzack has the right idea. This works well. Also,in addition to this thread,Snap-on sells left handed drill bits. These work very well for me,designed for these type of situations. CG

David Lee is probably our best player consistency wise and production wise. I realized the reason why he puts up big numbers is because he is very active and plays a lot, plus is pretty skilled and good too. But you can't say that those are bad reasons. Give credit to someone who you know is going to show up to play day in and day out, someone who is very durable and has a lot of endurance. They say he runs an average of 5 miles in each game. So that is why he is getting a lot of good numbers, he moves around a lot, he does a lot of different things.
I don't think Steph Curry is our best player until he has proven it. He has not been quite consistent enough. Lee is the heart and soul when it comes to passing, rebounding, and even scoring in a variety of ways. Bogut has been hurt, so unless he can prove to be as durable as Lee, he still won't be as valuable. Game for game is a different case.
As far as our tough schedule, do not look too into that. You have to win each game one at a time whether they are tough or easy. If you won some tough road games, that's good. But that doesn't mean that home games against subpar teams will come easy. You have to play each game day to day still.

Fresh, Frozen, Canned, Dried and 100% Juice:
All Forms of Fruits & Vegetables Matter!
When it comes to good nutrition, all forms of fruits and vegetables matter—fresh, frozen, canned, dried and 100% juice. With 200+ options and a variety of convenient packaging to make fruits and vegetables easy to store and easy to serve, there's bound to be something to please everyone!
- Most frozen and canned foods are processed within hours of harvest, so their flavor and nutritional value are preserved. 5 Facts about Canned Foods
- Studies show that recipes prepared with canned foods had similar nutritional values to those prepared with fresh or frozen ingredients.
- Canned foods are "cooked" prior to packaging, so they
are recipe-ready. - Frozen foods also require little preparation—washing
and slicing, for instance, is already done.
All forms of fruits and vegetables count toward your daily recommendation.

As a commodity trading advisor (CTA) you constantly take risks and try to manage those risks. One thing that you don't want to manage is the risk of your client's futures commission merchant (FCM) failing. This is what happened on Oct. 31, 2011 when MF Global melted down. Here is what it's like to be a CTA when you're FCM melts down.
On Wednesday, Oct. 26, I got a call from a competing FCM; "Hi Robb, I know you have some business over at MF global. You may have heard that they have been having some problems. We'd certainly like your business. You might want to consider what is happening over there and we'd be happy to help."
I hadn't really thought that much about MF Global's credit rating being downgraded that week because that shouldn't affect the futures division; all customer accounts are segregated. I didn't think much of the call because as a CTA I constantly have brokers and FCM's that want me to just move all my business over to their company with all kinds the promises of glory and how much money they can raise for me or how much better or cheaper they'll do executions.
People in the industry get confused with the difference between a commodity pool operator (CPO) and CTA. With a CPO, all the money is pooled together into one or more accounts. This gives the CPO a lot of authority and power as to where it places the funds.
In the past, one of the dangers of having money pooled together was a Bernie Madoff type scandal. I remember decades ago a CPO manager telling me that he had so much control over the "account" that he could write a check and leave the country; that it would be a while before anybody knew what happened. The industry has learned from these mistakes and now implement many more safe guards, such as the use of an administrator and outside accounting firms.
To move accounts, the CPO can sign one set of paperwork and then inform the investors of the change in a timely manner.
A CTA doesn't get to pool money, they manage each account individually. Each client would have to make this decision and then re-paper the account at the new FCM if the client decided to move their money there. This can create fear, uncertainty and doubt. Clients will wonder what the problem is. It's just not worth it.
So when I got the call from the competing FCM, I didn't think of it beyond just another competitor wanting my clients' business. There was no reason, based upon rumor and innuendo, to cease my five-year relationship with MF Global, liquidate all positions, and have my clients re-paper their accounts. This also would delay any trading and create opportunity costs.
There was nothing to worry about. All the client funds are "segregated," meaning that the firm could lose every dime, but those client funds are in separate accounts and not used for the FCM's business operations. These segregated funds are sacrosanct to the industry. They provide a level of protection for all clients.
The futures industry is a relatively small industry. Especially because the Mecca is Chicago and many industry people have been in the business two to four decades. Reputation permeates the business. If somebody does something wrong, it will follow them.
I had a very good brokerage group at MF Global; I had no reason to change ships. Plus, many other CTA and CPO operations had long-standing business with them. The group I dealt with handled 24-hour trades through their Chicago and London desks. Sometimes I would put option trades on overnight. They handled them with total professionalism. When they made a mistake, which was rare, they paid for it without argument. I had a very good situation at MF Global.
Oct. 31 truly was a Halloween for the industry and for MF Global customers. Between 6:00-6:30 a.m. I received a call from the broker. Rarely did I ever get calls from the broker this early unless there was an issue, and that issue usually was an option that needed to be bought back because we couldn't get an ask price on. This morning was a lot different. The broker's first words out of his mouth where "Robb, MF Global is going bankrupt, everything is falling apart."
I had options and futures positions on, so it was decision time. I had several paths I could take: Path 1 was to do nothing, let the course of action work itself out; path 2 was to liquidate everything.
I contacted my compliance consultant and accounting firm. The compliance person assured me that all customer funds were segregated. This was a major assurance in the industry. I wanted to make sure, as I always have, that every decision was made within the regulations. With the CPA firm I discussed previous situations like Refco and others, getting advice on the best course of action. The compliance person was at least half right – the clients monies were supposed to be segregated. With client funds I only have power of attorney to trade the account. Not the power to wire money anywhere.
Between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m. the broker had informed me that all my stops were cancelled. Stops are used to manage risk. I had dozens of option straddle positions on with stops in the underlying futures markets. I also had futures positions on. Now I had no stops; total exposure. Then the broker informed me that he had no ability to place any orders. No stops and no way to liquidate. Now we're just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, or as another CTA put it, we had 0% of the equity and 100% of the risk. I couldn't trade. Later that morning the broker informed me that I could place orders with FCM Rosenthal Collins Group (RCG). I've had a relationship with them for several years. I called over there and they knew nothing of the arrangement, at least the person I talked to knew nothing about it. There was much confusion that morning. The S.S. Californian also was supposed to be there for the Titanic, but that night the wireless radio operator was sent to bed early and missed the Titanic's distress call by 25 minutes.
As all the clients found out - any attempt to wire out funds was stopped by the bankruptcy filing. The monies and positions were stuck for the time being.
The broker then informs me around 9:30 a.m. that other firms might execute the liquidation. Soon after I was called by a firm that said they could liquidate all my positions. I had met the fellow a year before at another firm he was working for at the time. I told him it was a timely call and that "yes I wanted to liquidate all client positions as soon as possible." I would have to email them the list of positions and accounts, and where they should be given up.
This was an unusual arrangement. I had no paper with this firm, no history and no money! Yet they claimed they were willing to execute these positions. If they weren't able to reconcile with the accounts at MF global, even though these were offsetting positions and technically flat, I'd really have opposite positions at two different firms and might have to place equal margin there. Yet there was no way to wire/transfer money to that firm from MF Global.
All the while I was getting the email together of all positions and account numbers, and like Santa Claus, I was checking the list twice. At this point I knew which firms were being naughty and who were being nice, and MF Global was not on the nice list.
As I was getting this list together, my miracle happened. My MF Global broker called me; "Robb, they've let us back in the system, I can execute trades right at this moment." It wasn't clear if he could do give-ups. I figured that if I could at least exit out of all MF Global account positions, then I could call the various FCM's that the other accounts were at and have them exit the positions. I told the broker, "Hell yes, get me out of all positions." Minutes later he informs me that he was not only able to exit out of all MF Global trades, but was able to do the give-ups to the other FCMs for all the accounts that I manage All accounts that I managed were totally flat.
That window of opportunity closed one hour later. MFG brokers could no longer make trades. I had jumped through the window at the right time. Having a good relationship with a gifted broker really paid off.
My poor broker. I've worked with this guy for over two years. We talk nearly every day. He understands all my trading needs and always goes the extra mile. He was a VP at MF Global who worked his way up the ladder. He's invested over a decade of his life with his IB at MF Global. Now everything he's worked for is gone. He doesn't know his future, he won't be receiving any commission or pay checks from MF Global, but worked diligently to help his clients. He showed a lot a character throughout this situation.
In exiting all these positions, many brokers would just put in market orders. With futures, especially in liquid markets, that's not necessarily a bad thing, but with options, it could be lethal. What is one person's catastrophe is another person's opportunity. There were a lot of attorneys that made money on Enron demise. There were traders that were getting some bargains that day. Fortunately for me, none of the markets I was trading in were having big moves, the damage would be contained. The broker carefully worked out of each position, and there were dozens of them, to the benefit of the accounts that I manage. He didn't panic.
Now the information starts coming out that that there is approximately $600 million in segregated funds that are missing, and that is why the last minute sale of the firm fell through.
MF Global Chairman and CEO Jon Corzine, who made the Eurobond bet that created this whole mess, was trying to sell the futures unit over the weekend. The deal apparently fell through when Interactive Brokers' accountants found the discrepancy in seg funds.
By Tuesday, Nov. 1, all my accounts are sitting in cash or were being settled up from the previous days activity. Those customers that didn't exit out on Halloween were now stuck with no stops. A week later, those accounts that had positions on were moved to random FCM's with about 60% of the funds to cover the positions. If the client couldn't add monies to these new accounts, then those positions might be exited. What about those accounts that went negative during this time because the stops were cancelled? I'll bet none of them are going to write a check to MF Global to cover those losses.
The most logical thing that could have been done on Monday, Oct. 31, was to just instigate a mass liquidation throughout the day. It's not like everybody was sitting on just one side of each market. Probably would have been a wash and would have left everybody in a cash position at the end of the month. This would have created a clear line of demarcation and would have avoided the messes that occurred later in the week with some accounts, those with open positions, to be moved to other FCMs by the CFTC.
In the future I'd make these suggestions:
- Suggest to clients to place money at FCMs that only do execution. Not firms trying to build the next Goldman Sachs.
- If the firm does go through a REFCO/MF Global type of bankruptcy situation – if possible, liquidate all positions immediately.
- Suggest that all client monies get wired out at the earliest possible moment.
- Have relationships with other FCMs. Diversification in FCM contacts is a good thing. You just might need them on short notice should another meltdown occur.
Hopefully we'll learn and the necessary lessons from this debacle. Obviously the goal is to avoid being in this situation in the future.

The Apache Open For Business Project is an enterprise automation software project that includes ERP, CRM, E-Business/E-Commerce, SCM, MRP, and CMMS/EAM functions. It is a foundation and starting point for enterprise solutions and can certainly be used out of the box, but is also great for creating specialized applications.
Neddick is part of the Fogcutter suite of tools for building intelligent applications. Neddick provides tools for tagging, ranking, discussing, and discovering various sources of knowledge: Web-links, documents, people, etc. It's over-simplifying a little bit, but think of Neddick as sort of a combination of Reddit, Delicious, and Planet. It also includes a powerful search engine and a recommendations engine, and it lets you categorize, rate, tag, filter, discuss, and discover knowledge in ways that most enterprise search applications can't.
Grails is a full stack framework for developing Web applications on the Java platform. It builds on the concepts introduced by frameworkds like Rails, Django, and TurboGears, but builds on established Java technologies like Spring and Hibernate. It includes an easy-to-use object relational mapping (ORM) layer, an expressive view technology, a controller layer, a command line scripting environment, an embedded Jetty container which is configured for on-the-fly reloading, dependency injection, support for internationalization (i18n), and a transactional service layer.
GvTags is a lightweight yet powerful tag library and template engine for the dynamic programming language Groovy. The tag library can be used to generate Web pages with powerful tag support. It can be used with the template servlet of GvTags (TagTemplateServlet) or with JavaServer Pages (JSP). The template engine can be used to generate any kind of text documents. Since it is written in Groovy and compiled to a Java class file, it can be used from Groovy as well as from Java.
Dove is an application that facilitates the distribution of documents to a variety of destination types such as email, local files, FTP, FTPS, SFTP, TFTP, Samba servers, Windows network shared drives, and WebDAV servers. Being an abstraction layer over previously enumerated protocols, it allows sending of documents to email or to a WebDAV server with equal ease.
Quoddy is an open source enterprise social network, which shares a common "look and feel" and substantial functionality, with consumer facing social networks like Facebook and Google+, as well as proprietary products from Jive Software and Yammer. It makes up one component of the Fogcutter Suite. It is intended mainly for organizational use and therefore has capabilities which make it uniquely suited to provide the social fabric to support organizational knowledge sharing, knowledge transfer, collaboration, and decision support.
Pixy is a declarative graph query language that works on any Blueprints-compatible graph database. The Blueprints API provides a common interface to over a dozen graph databases, including Neo4J, Titan, Infinite Graph, OrientDB, DEX, and Bitsy. Pixy enables complex pattern matching and logic programming on graph databases by translating PROLOG-style rules and goals to Gremlin pipelines that represent graph traversal operations. Queries in Pixy can also be seemlessly integrated into Gremlin expressions. The combination of Pixy and Gremlin gives the programmer the full power of two graph querying paradigms, viz. graph pattern matching and graph traversal.

Only stayed one night, but it did the trick. Had a double private room. Had to wait for a shower in the morning, but the bed was comfy and warm. Place was satisfactorily clean. You can easily walk to shops and cafes in town, very close. Just so you know, they only except cash for payment at check in.

Void Of Silence
The Grave Of Civilization
Void of Silence hail from the Italian peninsula, representing doom metal in the ongoing class action lawsuit of Substance v. Presentation. Alright, that's bullshit, but if such a case really did exist, The Grave of Civilization would only add to the possibility of it ending via settlement. Included on this, their fourth, is a sound engrossing enough that it is easy to ignore -- and thusly forgive -- an overuse of ambience, sometimes directionless passages, and length-for-length's-sake songwriting style.
The Void of Silence sound is founded in layers, beginning with the vocals. In the six years since their last recording, Primordial's Alan Averill has left and been replaced by Brooke Johnson of The Axis of Perdition. His wailing all-clean delivery comes off as a combination of his predecessor and Tiamat's Johan Edlund. Supporting this heart-wrenching and oft-stunning performance is an extremely wide combination of elements that will seem schizophrenic when described on paper. The most prevalent are highly sustained leads (think funeral doom), plodding drumming, and rhythm guitar that should bring to mind the more sorrowful and expansive side of doom. Further still can be heard sparse keyboard symphonics, even sparser touches of electronic or industrial, various sound effects (listen for some serious Blade Runner synth noise in the title track), chanting choral vocals, and near post-rock clean guitar echoes.
Alongside a lush and well-balanced mix, it is exactly these various puzzle pieces that give The Grave of Civilization its palatable style. And in spite of these many elements, it remains an overwhelmingly minimalistic journey that fits the name of the band and album equally. Void of Silence's primary methodology is to draw the listener in through heavy sections of crafty riffing and emotive vocals, only to quickly abandon this in favor of extended ambient passages. As a result, most songs feel episodic, as does the album as a whole. It can thusly be difficult to differentiate between individual tracks, a trait further exposed by the existence of some very lengthy songs (two cross over the 15 minute mark). While all feature some killer material (the title track's chorus or the building intro to "Apt Epitaph" are particularly nice), only the relatively short "Temple of Stagnation" maintains its brooding momentum throughout its duration, and as such provides the album's most engaging ten minutes. The use of piano and keys here is especially well-executed, showing how Void of Silence know their way around diverse instrumentation as a means to bring their sparse landscapes into focus.
The Grave of Civilization is undoubtedly excessive in its attempts to draw out time itself, and could certainly have been cut at fifty minutes as opposed to sixty, but doom fans are more than encouraged to give this album a good fitting. Johnson's vocal performance is worth it alone, and he is backed up by songs that are often captivating and always at least engaging despite their meandering nature. Many will find this album to be far too loose in the crotch, but others will find it to fit like that special pair of jeans that you absolutely refuse to get rid of.

Newton Village kicks off capital campaign for new skilled care unit
Jasper County has a higher percentage of residents over age 65 than the statewide average. With that in mind, Elim Care, the parent company of Newton Village, has given permission for the facility to embark on a major new addition.
Currently, Newton Village has 50 independent apartments, 35 assisted living apartments and nine memory care apartments, home to more than 100 older adults. However, skilled care has been one level of service missing from Newton Village. Often, a time of recuperation or therapy is needed by the residents. Now, with the new addition, that recuperation can take place in an environment the residents already call home.
Gary Shebeck, Newton Village administrator, said the new, 20,000-square-foot wing will add 24 skilled beds, 20 private beds, in a state-of-the-art facility, featuring a shower in each room, a data center and Wi-Fi. A physical therapy department and a spa will be included, as well as an activity center/chapel. A double-sided fireplace in the dining room will enhance the vaulted ceilings, and a patio off the east side of the dining area will add a warm and inviting atmosphere.
