What happened to the smiley face? It's long gone from Wal-Mart marketing after years as the corporate symbol, and its disappearance is part of a much larger story. It's hard to believe, but for decades the world's largest retailer wasn't much of a marketer. It spent little on marketing, and its efforts, epitomized by the grinning circle, could be charitably called down-home and realistically described as amateurish. Change finally began four years ago when Stephen Quinn was made chief marketing officer of Wal-Mart U.S. He exiled the smiley face to the land of e-mail emoticons and developed a new theme -- "Save money. Live better" -- that became a statement of corporate purpose. Current TV commercials actually include some wit while hammering home the message.

IRVING -- A source close to Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant tells News 8 Bryant will consider his options, and if doctors say he won't do significant damage to his broken left finger going forward, then he'll be on the field Sunday against the Steelers.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says it is up to Bryant to make the final call.
"It has not been decided by Dez," Jones said on KRLD Tuesday morning. "He will be the ultimate decision-maker whether or not he wants to try and continue to play with a lot of protection, or whether or not he should have surgery."
That take is different from what head coach Jason Garrett said about Bryant's status on Monday afternoon.
"Well, it's a medical issue," Garrett said. "The doctors are going to say, 'This is what it is, and this is what we feel like we need to do,' and we're gong to say, 'OK, what are the other options?'"
The biggest option Bryant will have to weigh will be the future use of his hand. Jones said if Bryant opts against having surgery now, he could risk what Jones called a "life-lasting stiffness" in the finger.
Bryant injured his digit in the fourth quarter of the Cowboys' win over the Bengals; then he came back a few plays later and scored a 27-yard touchdown.
Losing Bryant would be a major blow to the the Cowboys' playoff chances. He has blossomed into a legitimate play-making threat. The Cowboys are 4-1 in their last 5 games, with Bryant racking up 525 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns.
"Make no mistake about it, Dez is chomping at the bit, and wants to take the route of playing," Jerry Jones said.

CIOs who haven't moved their companies from Windows XP by now ought to be fired, some people think, but those who haven't and are still on the job have options for saving their bacon.
"Start," is the first piece of advice from Shawn Allaway, CEO of Converter Technology, which specializes in migrating businesses to new versions of Windows and Microsoft Office. Even if the project isn't completed before Microsoft ends support for XP on April 8, it's important to minimize the window of exposure during which XP runs unsupported on corporate networks.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Windows 7, XP vulnerabilites doubled in 2013, security firm finds. | Windows 8 left you blue? Then check out Windows Red, InfoWorld's plan to fix Microsoft's contested OS. | Microsoft's new direction, the touch interface for tablet and desktop apps, the transition from Windows 7 -- InfoWorld covers all this and more in the Windows 8 Deep Dive PDF special report. | Stay atop key Microsoft technologies in our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
Those who haven't started yet probably should be fired for leaving their businesses open to the impending threat, he says. "This is not like Microsoft dropped this on you six months ago," he says. "You're putting your organization at risk."
That threat is that vulnerabilities discovered after April 8 will never be patched by Microsoft, leaving Windows XP open to an ever expanding range of attacks. In addition, many applications will no longer be supported when running on Windows XP, Gartner warns.It's possible and even desirable to sign a custom support contract with Microsoft that provides continued upgrades after the end-of-support date, but it is also expensive, says Directions on Microsoft. If that's not possible, the main goal is to minimize risks caused by using unsupported XP, which means a review and possible beefing up of security.
Isolating XP machines on corporate networks and limiting what devices they can communicate with is essential, and there are tools for this. For instance Unisys Stealth can limit a machine's access to other machines and hide it from attackers, says Unisys CIO Dave Frymier. A Stealth shim in the IP stack of XP machines sits between the link and network layers to decrypt IP payloads if it can and drops packets when it can't. A machine can talk to another only if it is a member of the same community of interest as defined by Active Directory, he says.
Migrating isn't a quick process, and the larger the network, the longer it takes. The rule of thumb is that for a 10,000-desktop network with 15 offices, it will take two to three months to complete the project, Allaway says.
A first step toward the transition is testing application compatibility with a newer operating system, getting new licensing agreements and assessing the need for and buying new hardware.
Like any OS rollout, this one will be done in phases. Organizations that think they'll miss the deadline should prioritize their applications and users and migrate the most important and most vulnerable first to reduce the risks, Gartner says.

Getting around to wiring the lights on my now 12V '48 Cub. Last night I individually tested each bulb and socket and we're 3 for 3. I have (what I believe to be the original) switch from the tractor. I cleaned it up a good bit for better connection and am getting continuity to two posts in two positions.
But since the light switch is on the workbench, it's kind of hard for me to know what the switch is supposed to be doing. I believe this is a 4 position switch? Is that Off, headlights, rear light, and all three? What position is which? I'd settle to just use the original switch and have all three lights come on at once. After all, I don't plan on doing much in the dark on this tractor anyway. But I would be tickled if I could get just the headlights and then all three lights.
I saw a diagram Rudi posted earlier, but it was for a 6V. Mine has a 6V switch, but I believe the diagram showed a wire going back to the generator. I was planning on just putting the switch in between the line from the battery and the lights.

The following are excerpts of editorials from other newspapers across New England:
An Atlas V rocket lifted NASA's Maven spacecraft into the heavens Monday Nov. 18, the start of a mission that should offer the closest look ever at the Red Planet's atmosphere and perhaps furnish clues as to how global climate systems change over eons.
We couldn't help but note the price tag for this mission: $671 million. That's about the same price that was initially placed on the healthcare.gov website set up to help Americans sign up for insurance under Obamacare.
The Maven mission is still in its early stages, as well, but is off to a flying start, unlike the Obamacare website, whose problems have been widely documented.
We're no fans of Obamacare, but we do hope the website gets fixed so that the program can proceed and Americans can find out whether it will succeed or fail on grounds other than technological glitches.
As for the latest mission to Mars, we're delighted to see that some government programs do work as designed and that Americans of all political persuasions now have another high-tech science project to keep their eyes on.

People want to know what is in their food. It doesn't necessarily change eating habits, but it provides consumers with the confidence that they know, good or bad, what is going into their bodies.
That's why the Maine Legislature did the right thing earlier this year by passing a bill sponsored by state Rep. Lance Harvell, R-Farmington, that requires food producers to label products containing genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, which are used to increase growth rates or resistance to herbicides, among other uses.
Maine and Connecticut are the first two states to pass such laws, so to salve concerns that the cost of labeling would cause companies to pull products from Maine, the law will not go into effect until similar laws are passed in four neighboring states.

Woman spared prison over drugs
7:00pm Wednesday 14th November 2012 in News
A SUSPECTED drug dealer who supplied cannabis and ketamine, has been spared jail.
Angela Foster, 26, had admitted two charges of possession with intent to supply both drugs.
She was given a community order at Oxford Crown Court on Monday.
Her home in High Street, Milton, was raided in November last year after police became suspicious.
Officers found a cash box containing ketamine, scales, and money. They also found a tin containing cannabis and more cash.
David Povall, prosecuting, said: "In each case drugs were in separate quantities – a larger amount and smaller wraps for eventual onward sale."
Police also found Foster's mobile phone which contained messages related to dealing.
Mr Povall said her former partner Wayne Jones who lived with her was arrested on suspicion of drug dealing but was released without charge.
He said the raid had been the "final straw" in their relationship and Foster, who now lives in Devon had broken up with him.
Foster was handed a community order with a 12 month supervision order.

|Blue Jays avenge loss to Redskins in district final
|Monday, March 11, 2013 10:34 AM
ELIDA — The last time St. John's and St. Henry played – back at "The Vatican" on Jan. 25 — St. Henry dominated the paint en route to a 71-57 victory in a MAC boys basketball game.
Kyle Stahl had scored 22 points, Alex Post 16 and Ryan Mikesell 15 in that contest.
This time around, Stahl was held to 13 points and Mikesell 14 by the Jays' surround-Stahl zone.
The Jays outrebounded the Redskins 30-27 (10-15 offensive) and used stellar shooting from both the field and the line to oust the Redskins 63-46 in a Division IV Elida District final Friday night on the Union Bank Court of the Elida Fieldhouse.
"Our adjustment was simply to defend the paint better. We gave up way too many points in the paint that night," St. John's coach Aaron Elwer explained. "We've been playing with much more sense of urgency defensively; the kids have bought into the need to play better defense and have executed our game plans extremely well since. We were going to make them beat us over the top and fortunately, they weren't hitting from outside."
St. Henry coach Eric Rosenbeck agreed.
"We have talked as a coaching staff all year that if anyone was going to beat us, it was going to be forcing us to shoot over the top and not make shots. That's what happened tonight; credit St. John's for making that adjustment," he continued. "We've been shooting the ball from the perimeter well lately, especially Jordan (Bender), but no one was hitting tonight. They did the same thing tonight as they did the first time — surround Kyle — but the shots weren't falling when he passed out of that." The Jays (19-5) advance to take on Jackson Center 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Kettering Fairmont Regional. It will be there first such trek since 2002, the year they won state.
"Coach Elwer and the coaching staff made a great adjustment from the first time and we carried it out; all credit goes to them. They killed us in the paint that night but not tonight," Geise acknowledged. "It's better to beat them this time because we were fortunate to still get a tie for the MAC championship. Ryan and I have played a lot of ball together but this was definitely one of the best games I've seen him play."
The first period was one of spurts: the Jays got off to a 5-0 start, despite giving up six offensive rebounds early and getting beat 11-6 overall on the boards in the canto. The Redskins (22-4) then seemed to get going behind four from Stahl and Mikesell to take a 10-5 edge on a Mikesell basket at the 3-minute mark. The Jays then retaliated with the last five of the period: a deuce from senior Geise at 2:33 and a duck-under 3-point play with 32 ticks on the board for a 10-all tie.
The second period is when the Jays' 1-1-3 zone — always trying to put pressure on the ball and dropping four into the paint — began to take control. They forced the Redskins to shoot over the top; with St. Henry finishing 6-of-25 for the half, including missing all 10 3-pointers, was all that the Blue and Gold needed to keep it up. On the other end, Buescher (game-high 24 markers, 11 boards, 4 steals, 3 blocks) began to get more untracked against the St. Henry man defense, scoring six (10 for the half). Junior Ryan Koester's drive with 3:55 showing gave the Jays the lead for good and when Buescher put back a transition miss with 20 ticks left, the Jays led 23-14.
The Blue Jay defense continued to force the Redskins to shoot over the top in the third and it continued to work wonders, with the Red and White managing only 3-of-13 shooting, despite getting six more offensive rebounds. On the offensive side, the Jays were simply more aggressive, getting to the line six times (making all of them) and getting into the bonus with 8.9 ticks showing in the canto. After leading by as much as 36-16, when Geise hit both ends at that 8.9-tick mark, the Jays' edge stood at 38-21.
Geise hit an off-balance drive early in the fourth period to account for a 40-21 edge, forcing the Redskins to employ a more aggressive, full-court trapping scheme to try and get back into the contest. That also meant they ended up fouling more to extend the game. Whereas the Redskins more than doubled their 3-period output by netting 25 fourth-quarter markers, the Jays' superb free-throw shooting in the final 6:53 — hitting 15-of-18 in that span, led by 6-of-6 from sophomore Andy Grothouse (9 points) and 4-of-4 by Geise — allowed for the 'Skins to only get within 57-46 on a 3-ball by Tyler Schwieterman at the 1:53 mark. The Jays ended the contest with a 6-0 spurt to account for the 17-point triumph.
"We have there things we really focus on, especially in the tournament: defense, rebounding and free-throw shooting. Again, the defense is playing at such a high level and we are either staying even or outrebounding bigger foes; that is nothing but attitude and effort," Elwer added. "No one exemplifies that more than Ryan: he is such a good athlete and he plays with such heart and energy. Free throws, we just put such an emphasis on them in practice and we carry that over into games. We have such confidence coming into a game and go to the line with that same attitude." St. Henry finished with a 19-of-54 shooting night (35.2%), including 4-of-23 beyond the arc (17.4%); 4-of-8 at the line (50%); and with 11 turnovers and 22 fouls. Stahl led the board effort with 11 and added three assists, as did Post before fouling out. Mikesell added five rebounds.
St. John's ended up shooting 18-of-36 overall (50%), 5-of-13 behind the arc (38.4%); and added 11 errors and 11 fouls. Junior Eric Clark added three dimes.

trying to add play pause button and to fix continual left/right rotation using JFLOW
I have a rotating banner that uses JFLOW, on this it has a left, right, and the image container numbers, and it continually rotates.
But I would like to add a PLAY/PAUSE function
Plus have it continually scroll one direction after the last slide, instead of after the last slide stop and scroll left and reset?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Please see attached
Thank you

We found ourselves thinking a lot recently about this or that event or story being so Montgomery County.
Over the weekend, for example, Writers on the Row brought authors and readers together in Bethesda.
Richard Belzer, star of Law & Order: SVU, and author of "Dead Wrong: Straight Faces on the Country's Most Controversial Cover-Ups," as well as Rosie Pope, author of "Mommy IQ" and star of the Bravo hit TV show "Pregnant in Heels," were among the celeb writers in town.
Then, on a Saturday night trip to see a movie in downtown Silver Spring, the excited throngs brought to mind the recent George Washington University School of Business study praising Silver Spring for successfully walking "the tightrope in attempting to achieve higher economic returns without gentrifying and detracting from its unique and diverse character."
Northward a bit up 270 on Sunday you may have encountered the Kentlands Oktoberfest on one of the most gorgeous days of the fall season. Scads of kids were spotted making harvest-inspired crafts at the Arts Barn while others rode on horse-drawn wagons and got their faces painted. Moms and Dads sampled gourmet wine and beer, and strolled among the jewelry and pottery vendors.
Did you enjoy your weekend in Montgomery County? What about our 500 square miles says "Montgomery County" to you? Tell us in comments.
There's plenty more to know about what went on in our county last week:
—If you ride the Metro into DC, your commute will be getting safer, according to officials. Metro Thursday unveiled a model of its new 7000-series railcar, marking the largest investment the company has made in the rail system's history. "For all that Metro does to keep government running, get people to work and get cars off the road, this investment in Metro is about safety," Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-MD, said of the new cars.
—A new church bell tower could chime in better cell phone reception for Germantown residents. Trinity United Methodist Church has leased land to Verizon to build a 110-foot cell phone tower that will also function as a computerized bell tower, Pastor James Miller told Patch. The tall white beams are already visible to divers approaching the church's perch atop a hill at Clopper and Germantown roads.
—Everyone was excited about the long-awaited opening of the Town Square grocery store, Dawson's Market, in Rockville Town Square but not about the trees missing nearby. Federal Realty Investment Trust, which owns the square, removed trees it said were blocking the view of the new storefront. for removing four trees along North Washington Street.
—Speaking of missing trees, Lockheed Martin CEO Robert J. Stevens is facing fines and community outrage for clear-cutting trees along the Potomac River near his home, The Washington Post reported Monday. Stevens, who lives on an estate in the Merry-Go-Round Farm community overlooking the river and the C&O Canal, cleared trees from 35,000-square-feet of land this summer, according to the report. Stevens claims he removed the trees for safety reasons after the June 29 derecho, according to The Post's report.
—Takoma Park is known for its small town feel, and that's the reason Bruce Sawtelle, owner of Takoma Bicycle, decided to open his doors on 7030 Caroll Avenue. Sawtelle is the subject of a Patch "Behind the Counter" profile that reveals why entrepreneurial spirit and a love of place can help fuel personal fulfillment.
—We got a closer look at just exactly what the Crown Development in Gaithersburg is slated to look like, and it includes six restaurants described as an exciting eclectic mix. Ground was broken on the development on Wednesday. Can't wait to find out what the restaurants are? Go here.
—If you're still having trouble coming up with a Halloween costume and you just don't have two hours to invest in turning yourself into a living anime character, don't fret. Storebought costumes are an acceptable fallback these days. We've got the list of the newest and most classic area costume shops.
—If your idea of Halloween is letting others do the work, there are a growing number of choices for scary places to visit. Go here for the top five haunted places in Maryland and here for more choices at parks and county attractions. Go ahead and scare yourself silly. Then send us the photos and let your friends make fun of you all over again.
—It's not your imagination—the local deer population really is booming. The number of deer inhabiting a section of Rock Creek Park in Chevy Chase is more than three times what is recommended for the area, according to the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission. If part of Chevy Chase is added to the deer management program, police sharpshooters will cull the deer herd during the months when the park is closed (Jan. 1 through March 31), from 5:30 p.m. to sunrise, according to the commission.
—Thieves accustomed to stopping by Chevy Chase Village for a few easy laptops and GPS units may want to rethink their strategies. The village has been experiencing a jump in thefts, from an average of 25 a year to a recorded 68 so far this year. Most of the thefts have been from unlocked vehicles, according to Police Chief John Fitzgerald, so he came up with an idea—a bait car that will be wired for video and audio recording to track thieves who try to steal from it.
—If you can't find enough to occupy your time here on earth, you might try looking toward the skies. The offspring of Halley's Comet are about to put on quite a show over our county. Earth passes through a stream of debris from Halley's Comet beginning Oct. 15, which gives us the benefit of the annual Orionid meteor shower. The shower should be at its best the night of Saturday, Oct. 20, until just before dawn on Oct. 21. This year, the moon will be setting at about midnight, which will keep the sky dark enough that—barring cloud cover—you should be able to see up to 15 meteors per hour.
—Was it an emu elopement? You decide. A pair of five-foot-tall emus are safe back at home after they flew—or rather, ran from—their coop on a five-day escapade to points unknown across North Potomac. The flightless birds got loose on Thursday. "It was kind of like Bigfoot sightings, running all over to weird places," said the birds' owner, Steven Strasburg. Bertha and Ernie ran off during the peak of emu mating season.
—Say good-bye to straight-A students in Montgomery County's public elementary schools (grades one through three). On their next report cards, instead of receiving the traditional letter grades of A, B, C, etc., first-, second- and third-grade students at public schools in the county will receive ES, P, I or N, The Washington Post reported.

In healthy volunteers and patients, abnormalities in atrioventricular (AV) conduction were asymptomatic and generally limited to first-degree AV block.
A 59-year-old HIV-infected woman with congestive heart failure and an ejection fraction of 30% started lamivudine, zidovudine, and atazanavir (the active ingredient contained in Reyataz) One month later, the patient presented with syncope and complained of nausea, which had begun 5 days prior. During the month following treatment initiation, the patient experienced slowly progressive shortness of breath. An electrocardiogram (EKG) showed a QTc interval prolongation of 619 min. Prior to starting antiretroviral treatment, an EKG showed a QTc interval of 398 min for the patient. The patient developed continuous ventricular tachycardia and was defibrillated to sinus bradycardia, which worsened her QT interval prolongation. The patient developed torsades de pointes, which reverted following further defibrillation. Treatment to increase her heart rate and decrease her QT interval was started. The patient's antiretroviral treatment was discontinued during her hospitalization and was not restarted due to concerns regarding QT prolongation. The patient's QTc interval decreased to 394 min and she had no additional ventricular tachyarrhythmias. The patient was restarted on lamivudine, zidovudine, and atazanavir and within 2 days, EKG showed QTc interval prolongation to 571 min. The atazanavir was concluded to be the cause of the prolonged QT interval and torsades de pointes. The patient's QT interval returned to normal following discontinuation of her antiretroviral treatment.
Frequency not reported: Prolongation of the PR interval, abnormalities in AV conduction, first-degree AV block, prolonged QT interval, ventricular tachycardia, torsades de pointes, increased QRS interval, heart arrest, heart block, hypertension, myocarditis, palpitation, vasodilatation

The months are getting warmer, and that means hurricane season is just around the corner.
June 1st is the official first day of the hurricane season, and one local group is already in the planning stages to help our community if disaster strikes.
They can strike anywhere, at any time. But instead of being reactive, Savannah Christian Church believes its best to be prepared.
Phillip Fincher is the associate outreach pastor and it's his mission to get members outside the church, and into the streets where they are needed the most.
"One of the main phrases in our church is 'Choose Compassion.' So we thought, what a better way to choose compassion than to be on the lookout for disaster--or if we hear about a disaster, send some of our resources to that area and help people there."
To have a group like this one has always been a goal for the church. In years past, members were able to help make it a reality when hurricanes wiped out towns and devastated communities.
"One of our guys, Brian, he went down to Katrina in New Orleans and was down there for a while. He did a lot of the ripping out of sheet rock, shoveling mud and taking care of families. It was a lot of cleanup work. Then this fall when Hurricane Sandy hit the Breezy Point area, we deployed a team up there and they did just that."
But it goes so much deeper. In the wake of devastation, disaster victims are often in great need of physical, emotional and spiritual care---and the Savannah Christian team wants to be there to help pick up the pieces.
"You might just see it as a destroyed house, but is their memories; it's what they worked for their entire life. So never miss an opportunity to sit down with a family, hear their story, cry with them, hug them and be there for them."
They are ready to rebuild and restore people and their property, here in our own back yard.
"One email goes out, the flood of people start coming in, we meet together, we plan, everyone brings their tools, we pray and then we deploy them out to help people here in Savannah."
Savannah Christian partners with several different outreach groups that help mobilize disaster crews. No special skills are required, and anyone is welcome to join in their efforts.

"Hi Tony,
I wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time in Ocean City! Your condo was great and the view from the balcony was incredible. We loved the location and the easy access to the beach. Thank you for your flexibility. We hope to stay there again next year!
Take care, Erin"

|Raider dream ends to rival Knights
|Tuesday, March 18, 2014 6:16 AM
By KEVIN WANNEMACHER • Progress Sportswriter
BOWLING GREEN – The chance was there for the taking. But the Crestview defense kept Wayne Trace from grabbing the opportunity.
The top-ranked and unbeaten Knights limited the Raiders to 27 percent shooting and made just enough plays at pivotal times to lift Crestview to a 44-34 victory in the Division IV regional championship at the Stroh Center on the campus of Bowling Green State University Friday night.

Economics and environmentalism are types of modern religions. So says Robert H.

The present debate raging over global warming exemplifies the clash of these two public theologies.

EVERETT, Wash. -- A fierce 3-run 9th inning rally fell short, as the Spokane Indians lost their series opener to the Everett AquaSox on Friday, 5-3.
Ryan Cordell singled to load the bases for the Indians in the top of the first inning, but the offense didn't produce another basehit until the ninth inning, when Marcus Green double to left to drive in Kevin Torres and break up the shutout. Gabe Roa followed suit with a 2-run double, but Cam Schiller grounded out to second base to end the rally and the ballgame.
Thyago Vieira (5.2 innings, 1 hit), Richard White (0.1
IP), and Nick Valenza (2.0 IP) combined to one-hit the Indians through the game's first eight innings, before the 3-run ninth. Mariners
first-round draft choice D.J. Peterson paced the offense for the AquaSox
(13-2), keying a 5-run 7th inning with a grand slam homerun off of
Spokane reliever Abel De Los Santos.
The loss drops the Indians to 6-9 on the season. Game two of the three-game series at Everett
Memorial Stadium is Saturday.

Billabong Pipe Masters Typography / Design / Branding
- Billabong Pipe Masters
Typography / Design / Branding 2007-2011
- I had the opportunity to design much of the typography and branding for the 2007 - 2011 Billabong Pipe Masters surfing contests. Each year, Billabong chooses the art of an iconic illustrator or photographer to feature in the official imagery. Past artists include Phil Roberts, Aaron Chang, John Van Hamersveld, Bill Ogden, and Brian Bielmann.
The designs shown below were used for the contest booth, event poster, store window displays, live contest video broadcast, advertising, t-shirts, hats, and other product. The typography was also used each year on the highly coveted winner's trophy, which is a surfboard hand-shaped by Pipeline Legend Gerry Lopez.

Trading: currently 217 jobs.The latest job was posted on 23 Aug 14.
Under this sector, you'll find all of our trading jobs.
Trading positions require tracking the markets and then buying and selling products, usually through technology. Trading careers are defined by both what products are traded (such as equities, foreign exchange, or commodities) and by the type of trader.
There are several different kinds of careers in trading:
Flow traders – These are people who buy and sell financial products for a bank's clients.
Proprietary (or "prop") traders – These are a carefully chosen group of higher level traders who trade the bank's own money.
Execution traders – These traders mainly place trades for analysts and fund managers.
Sales traders – These are a mix between salespeople and traders, recommending products to clients and executing any trades which have come about from their recommendations.
Trading roles have been significantly changed by the advance of technology over the last 10 years, but investment banks also hire people for separate electronic trading divisions.
Electronic trading has sped trades dramatically, dropped the cost of transactions and greatly increased transparency in the markets. Using algorithms – computer systems which make decisions on price, timing and size of an order – also shrank average trade sizes.
Automation has completely transformed the market from one where much human activity was required into one where the computers do most of the work in executing and processing trades. Due to this change, many traditional trading roles were eliminated. To balance this, electronic trading has created many new positions and careers in trading.
These new opportunities for finance jobs in trading include:
Quantitative analysts – Quants are brilliant at math, which is very important for gaining an edge in trading electronically. Quant jobs involve designing, developing and deploying execution algorithms with a mathematical approach to find investment opportunities and strategies in the market.
Consultants – It's the consultant's job to keep clients happy with services. Consultants create a number of statistical reports, such as transaction cost analysis and trade reports, to make sure clients are taking advantage of trading tools effectively. Consultants are also able to provide tips on improving performance.
Sales traders – It's the sales trader's job to perform the execution of trades for clients, while also offering a choice of the bank's e-trading products and helping a customer decide which one suits their needs. This position requires a mix of marketing and client relationship management. Banks also hire pure salespeople.
Market structure jobs – This position is defined by research; market structure professionals analyze reported regulatory changes and macro trends and create reports describing their possible effect on the trading environment.

Family Fun Finance Night
December 15, 2010 | Posted By: Jesse Mecham
In making sure children are provided with the basicslove, shelter, foodit's easy for parents to over look teaching a nitty-gritty lesson like finances. However, the more a parent can instruct their child about money, the better prepared (and hopefully wiser) that boy or girl will be once they step out into the world with credit card in hand.
The thought of getting your kids to sit through a lecture on money may be daunting, but that's just ityou're thinking of it as a lecture. In college, I had a very creative Econ professor explain the concept of supply and demand by offering one of us X amount of money and a box of donuts if that person would put on a pair of Hammer Pants and dance in front of the entire auditorium (about 500 students). Money doesn't have to be boring. In fact, money and the economy are fascinating subjects when approached the right way.
Presented here is an outline for a fun and informative evening with the family all about money, where it comes from, and what to do with it. This, however, is more of a bare-bones template. Based on the age and attention span of your kids, you can dive more in depth on various subjects or cut down on the parts they might not be able to grasp just yet (i.e. I don't know many 4-year-olds who care about sales tax, but you can go for it if you really want to).
The main thing is to make it relevant and relate-able to the kids. Show them just how connected our everyday decision-making and behavior is tied to money. Help them gain financial awareness and do it by using things they care about.
Money Back Then...
Where Does Money Go?
(This part will work best if you have some help through a visual aid like a white board, play money, or even just pencil and paper)
Budget, Budget, Who's Got the Budget?
Penny Protection
Make sure you spend a few minutes discussing basic precautions concerning money, especially if the kids are earning their own money or are close to getting their own bank accounts or etc.
Applied $ Knowledge $
Good Times Had By All
End the evening with some friendly competition. Bust out Monopoly or the Life game board. Pass around candy bars like Paydays or 100 Grand for a treat.
Regular Fun Finance Nights throughout their childhood will certainly build financial awareness. Hopefully, it'll even show the kids that mom and dad really aren't made of money, nor does it grow on trees.
Jesse Mecham is founder of the financial software company, You Need a Budgetbecause you do! Based on four fail-safe rules, Jesse's revolutionary software teaches a methodology that helps people break the paycheck to paycheck cycle, get out of debt, and save more money faster. You haven't budgeted like this.

Babson Park, Mass. - October 19, 2013 - The Springfield College men's soccer team had the advantage in shots on goal, but Babson College picked up a 2-0 victory in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) action on Saturday afternoon at Hartwell-Rogers Field.
Junior Peter Van Noppen (Providence, R.I.) had a goal and an assist, and classmate Justin Laurenzo (Park Ridge, N.J.) scored for the second consecutive game.
With its second straight win, Babson is now 9-5-1 overall and 2-2-1 in the conference while Springfield, which is currently ranked fifth in New England, saw its seven-game winning streak come to an end and is now 11-3-0 overall and 3-2-0 in league play.
Laurenzo gave the hosts a 1-0 lead at the 20:57 mark of the first half, heading home a corner kick from Van Noppen from just outside the six-yard box. His fifth tally of the season came just minutes after he missed wide on header from 10 yards off an earlier corner by Van Noppen.
The Pride's best scoring chance in the opening half came in the 41st minute after senior Ryan Malone (Chicopee, Mass.) was taken down just outside the box. Malone took the ensuing free kick and hit a blast from 19 yards that was punched over the crossbar and out of danger by Babson senior goalkeeper Jackson Klein (Maplewood, N.J.).
The Beavers doubled their advantage just 2:43 into the second half when Van Noppen struck for his second goal of the season. The junior midfielder collected the ball on the right flank and hit a 30-yard blast that beat the Springfield goalkeeper and deflected off the inside of the left post for a 2-0 edge.
The Pride had its chances to cut into the deficit throughout the second half. Junior Drew Sommer (West Chester, Pa.) headed a long ball into the box over Klein in the 54th minute, but junior back Pat Ellis (Braintree, Mass.) was able to clear the ball out of the goal mouth to maintain the Beavers' two-goal lead.
Klein's toughest save of the afternoon came in the 74th minute as he came charging off his line to block an attempt by Sommer, who had gotten by the Babson back line. After the initial save and with Klein still recovering, Sommer popped his second attempt just over the crossbar.
Klein made five stops to record his second consecutive shutout, while Billy Schmid (Wethersfield, Conn.) stopped four shots for Springfield.
The Pride held a 16-15 advantage in shots while Babson had a 6-5 edge in corner kicks.
Babson returns to action on Sunday afternoon when it travels to Bowdoin for a 2 p.m. start while Springfield will be at Keene State on Tuesday night at 6:30 p.m.
