TD Ameritrade Institutional1 attracted a record 441 breakaway brokers to its platform for independent registered investment advisors ("RIAs") in fiscal 2012, a 27 percent increase from fiscal 2011. TD Ameritrade Institutional has established itself as a leader in supporting breakaway brokers and has helped more than 1,000 advisors become RIAs since 2010, more than any other custodian.2
"TD Ameritrade Institutional is one of the most experienced custodians in helping advisors make the move to independence," said Tom Nally, president, TD Ameritrade Institutional. "We've made the goal of becoming an RIA more attainable through a clear, step-by-step, guided approach that can help take the guesswork out of the process."
TD Ameritrade Institutional's Bridge to Independence program serves to simplify and ease the transition for financial advisors looking to start their own RIA firm, join an established RIA or operate as a hybrid advisor. TD Ameritrade's one-on-one approach is tailored to the financial advisor's goals to help make the transition as straightforward as possible. TD Ameritrade Institutional provides guidance through four phases:
1) Choose a path. Financial advisors have options to consider when choosing how they will set up their business. TD Ameritrade Institutional lays out options for advisors starting a new RIA firm or joining an established RIA firm and also helps hybrid advisors find the right broker-dealer to support or transition any commission business. Financial advisors can get insights on the potential financial advantages of going independent, creating a strong business plan and timing a transition.
2) Plan – Business structure and setup. TD Ameritrade Institutional provides financial advisors with expertise and support for a wide range of business needs including staffing, setting up technology and investment platforms, compliance and insurance, even office furniture and phone systems.
3) Transition. TD Ameritrade Institutional's experienced Business Transition Services team has transitioned thousands of advisors. The team handles all account and asset transfers, client communications, and other logistics and helps ensure that the account transfer process goes according to plan.
4) Grow – Manage the business for success. TD Ameritrade Institutional provides ongoing practice management services which include access to educational materials and expertise in the areas of technology, staffing and compensation, client service, operations, business management and strategic planning.
"There's more support than ever before for breakaway brokers who want to experience the benefits of the independent advice model. They no longer have to deal with conflicts regarding what is good for the employer, as opposed to what is good for their clients," said Nally. "We've dispelled the myth that going independent means going it alone. The RIA industry has matured and there are more choices and flexibility available to RIAs as an increasing number of technology and service providers focus their attention on the growing independent advice channel."
Scott Stauffer, a former wirehouse broker, recently made the decision to become an RIA. Stauffer chose to join California-based Wealth Design, LLC, an established RIA firm. He wanted the freedom to do what's right for his clients, choice and flexibility in investment options and the potential financial benefit associated with becoming an independent advisor, but wasn't interested in the operational side of running a practice.
"Joining an established firm that had been through the experience of transitioning to the RIA model, coupled with TD Ameritrade Institutional's expertise, proved invaluable," said Stauffer, Wealth Design, LLC. "Not only did TD Ameritrade Institutional provide a clear road map, but the transition team was a sounding board throughout the process. Any issues or questions were quickly addressed which eliminated concerns and gave me the confidence that my business and my clients were in good hands."
TD Ameritrade Institutional's Bridge to Independence support services include:
- Relationship Managers – An experienced team of professionals who are dedicated to helping advisors who are making the transition to independence, whether that is starting up a new firm or joining an existing firm.
- TD Ameritrade Institutional RIAConnect™3 – Advisors looking to join an existing RIA firm will be introduced to established RIA firms with proven capabilities to support their business objectives.
- Business Evaluator4 – An online tool that allows advisors to compare business models, estimate expenses, identify their motivations and strengths, and ultimately design a customized action plan to ease the transition to independence.
- Business Transition Service Team – Dedicated service group to help advisors develop a plan to transition their clients to their new firm and simplify the account transfer and paperwork requirements (minimum asset requirements apply).
- Broker/Dealer Network – This flexible service helps ease the transition and maintenance of advisors' commission-based business. TD Ameritrade Institutional works with broker-dealers who understand the unique needs of RIAs. Advisors have the choice to affiliate with a company that fits their specific culture, size, location and product needs.
- Advisor Transition Mentor Council – A collection of experienced advisors who have successfully made the transition to independence and who can provide their insight, guidance and counsel to advisors considering making the decision to go independent.
- Webcasts, Whitepapers and Case Studies5 – Provide guidance from advisors and industry experts on transitioning to the RIA model. †

Some developers believe that monitoring is a function of the operations team. Some operations teams firmly believe that monitoring the systems they maintain is sufficient to run the business successfully. Most of them are wrong.

When an enterprise builds a hybrid IaaS cloud connecting its data center to one or more public clouds, security is often a major topic along with the other challenges involved. Security is closely intertwined with the networking choices made for the hybrid cloud.

Consequently this approach requires risky, deep "surgery" including changes to firewalls, subnets...

Treasure Coast Food Bank
STUART, FLORIDA (TCPalm) - Treasure Coast Food Bank is putting more food in the hands of hungry people throughout Martin County through several new collaborative efforts.
The results: Treasure Coast Food Bank already has doubled the amount of food distributed throughout the county over the previous 12 months, increasing the output from about 500,000 to more than 1 million pounds.
The Mobile Pantry visits distribute food to areas that may not be served by any existing food pantries and where people don't have ready access to healthy and affordable food. Target communities include Golden Gate, Port Salerno, Hobe Sound, Indiantown, and Jensen Beach/Rio.
"This is a collaborative effort where we provide our Mobile Pantry and our partners provide the resources and volunteers. The end result is more food in the hands of people who need it," said Treasure Coast Food Bank CEO Judith Cruz. "We already have doubled the amount of food distributed in Martin County, and we're still three months from the end of the fiscal year."
Mobile Pantry, a national program of Feeding America and its partner agencies, was created to provide food to people in neighborhoods where they live, and it fills gaps in the existing structure of feeding programs. Treasure Coast Food Bank, a partner organization of Feeding America, initiated the first Mobile Pantry on the Treasure Coast two years ago. The program has been critical in delivering food to people living in food deserts, which are neighborhoods in which the opportunity to buy healthy, affordable groceries is scarce.
According to a 2009 study done in collaboration with the United States Department of Agriculture, significant portions of Martin County and throughout the Treasure Coast are identified as food deserts. In some cases, the areas lack grocery stores, but in others, the residents lack transportation.
Treasure Coast Food Bank provides an average of 25 Mobile Pantry visits each month, distributing about 312,500 meals per month to people who otherwise are without easy access to healthy food. Each Mobile Pantry delivery includes meats, breads, fresh fruits and vegetables and non-perishable goods.
For more information about Mobile Pantry or other efforts to stop hunger, call Treasure Coast Food Bank at 772-489-3034.

Ecclestone set for $100-million settlement
Formula One tycoon Bernie Ecclestone is heading for a $100 million settlement to halt his bribery trial in Germany, local media reported at the weekend.

Jack Truong was named the new president and CEO of Electrolux Major Appliances North America and an executive vice president of AB Electrolux, succeeding Kevin Scott, who will leave Electrolux after eight years with the company.
Truong will report to Electrolux President and CEO Keith McLoughlin and will be a member of Group Management. Truong previously held the position of vice president and general manager, Global Construction and Home Improvement Division of 3M Company.
Jack Truong has held this most recent role since 2009. His 22-year career with 3M included several senior management positions in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Truong, born in 1962, holds a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York.
Kevin Scott joined Electrolux in 2003 as vice president and general manager of the Consumer Services Group in Major Appliances North America. He transitioned in 2006 to vice president and general manager of the refrigeration business. Scott was responsible for the establishment of the group's largest refrigerator factory in Mexico and was instrumental in the launch of the Electrolux brand in North America. In 2009, Scott was appointed president and CEO of Major Appliances North America and an executive vice president of AB Electrolux.
"We are pleased to welcome Jack Truong to Electrolux. At 3M he demonstrated the ability to accelerate growth by applying innovative technologies and marketing to meet the ever-changing consumers' needs. His experience and track record will be crucial in helping to ensure our long-term growth with an intense focus on strong brands, high-impact new products and cost efficiency – all of which are key elements of the Electrolux strategy," said Keith McLoughlin, Electrolux President and CEO. "We also want to thank Kevin Scott for his important contributions to Electrolux. He has strengthened our business and our team in North America, and has successfully pursued our efforts to more effectively operate as a single company within the region."
The changes take effect Aug. 1, 2011.

"MAXIMUM JOY!" b/w "This whole world in a sad condition, but I keep travelin' on"
By Julianne Shepherd , October 6, 2005
"Just pre-punk, I remember writing a piece about women's music: the big question was, if it were to exist, how might it sound? Then it seemed a rosy dream, far-fetched, even. Some of our questions would have been answered by this compilation, charting a moment when the sleeping giantess of pop's FEMININE principle really started stirring."
Like a heady clarion of fire gleaming from a pile of bullshit. That's the excellent rock critic/professor/Flying Lizards singer Vivien Goldman throwing out a lifeline from the liner notes in Grlz: Women Ahead of Their Time (the label: crippled dick hot wax!), a compilation of 1980s UK post-punk bands-- Delta 5, Bow Wow Wow, the New Age Steppers-- who rose MDDL FNGZ to the wasteland of '70s punk and its limitations on genre and gender. They plowed out their own fertile underground, feminist ID cards in hand. In the '70s UK, Goldman had dreamed of a women's space, a domain where feminine voices were not only uncaged but also galvanized. (A glimpse of the Grlz world would, perhaps, emerge a few years prior from visionary teen Kate Bush, whose 1978 album The Kick Inside sold over a million copies by sounding both avant-garde and feminine.)
As Grlz's feminist post-punk underground started rumbling in the late '70s-early '80s, trans-culturalism would be the key unifier, and that's what we get on Goldman's compilation. Around the same time Grandmaster Flash was building DJ foundation and Talking Heads were folding Afrobeat rhythms into their own post-punk across the pond, Brit underground girl bands like Ludus, JaJaJa, and Dorothy were some contempo precursors to the CURRENT internet era's erector-set soundclash, its confluence of sounds and hybrid ideation. (Elsewhere in the liner notes, still musing on those times, Goldman writes, "Rejoicing in being eclectic, we mixed up looks just like we did sounds, rocking zany combinations of sportswear, jumble sale finery and army surplus, faux-chaste, Rasta dawta' floor-length skirts, and our own designs." M.I.A., anyone? Or Gwen Stefani?)
The goal then, as with now, was to smash as much detritus together as possible: A feminist coalition of women and men who thought nothing of screaming schoolyard cheers over dub-reggae bump-and-grinds and just-learned-to-play-the-sax solos, plus a welcome proliferation of piano plinking. Their commonality: an openness to the world. Check how the pony klomp-klomp of Delta 5's political "Mind Your Own Business", with its monotone vocal stonewalling on the chorus-- "No! Mind your own business!"-- and guitar yelps click with the voice of a pre-solo Neneh Cherry, singing with the band Rip, Rig and Panic. Cherry intones huskily, sometimes peaking and warbling with the same baubled gumption as Eartha Kitt: The uncertainty of her voice is fealty at the creases where her bandmates' jumpy, dubby jazz lies. Or how a piano strolls over Anna Dominos's ghostly foxtrot of blocks and cowbells, like a makeshift circle of percussionists trying on syncopation; it rolls into a luau drum roll, and soon come Bow Wow Wow's vocalist, Annabella Lwin, sing-songing irreverently. Irreverence, here fully embodied by spunk and uncalculated yelps, shrieks and drones, was the spit in their sister-pact. Well, that, and the kinetic sense that their ideas were the blow-your-mind best: can't deny shit like the screaming and funking swagger of the band Maximum Joy, screaming the lyrics: "SPACE RACE"! Their bravado is not even defiant, not reactionary. It doesn't have to be because it just exists. And is awesome.
Though I've heard their version a jillion times before, the high point for me on GRLZ is the still Slits' nibbling, unwieldy cover of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine". Singer Ari Up strikes bliss with her 14-year-old sandpaper voice, all like "Whatever." Ari Up! That girl yelled like she was jumping the plank into the silky pallor of the sea. Shit man, if I could tattoo the sound of a band onto my heart, I would do it for the Slits. (If you are the Marcel Duchamp of tattoo artists, and you devise a way to graft an iPod into my skin, which will function as a combination body art/portable mp3 player that prefers the Slits' "So Tough" when set to the "shuffle" function, please email email@example.com. Also, please give me "concept" credit and share the profits after you license it to Apple.) When you hear Ari Up you know she would not deign to worship the flaccid love-organs, metaphorically speaking, of no pasty guitarzans, so soft in vertebrae and light in content, shuffling boys from either the high horse or boringtown who make me want to stab out my own eye with the dulled corner of a spork marked "prison." Ari Up is the sound of freedom, the space Goldman envisioned in the '70s still exists, and when I say "lifeline," I mean that shit drops from the sky like a plate of fresh ceviche after decades of eating government cheese. Y'heard?
One more chickenscratch on freedom: Don't think Barbara Dane was a smoker-- surely the fine sediment of her pitch was too precious to tar over with carcinogens-- but she was gravelly like that Texas sonofabitch LBJ when she dedicated a song to him in 1966: "I want to dedicate this song to McGeorge Bundy, to Robert MacNamara, to Lyndon Banes Johnson, and to the memory of John Foster Dulles." She relishes that last part, just before she intros the song in a fine low quiver: "Oh you've got to reap just what you sow."
Dane, a white jazz/blues/folk musician and civil rights activist from Detroit who started out with Turk Murphy in the '50s and started her own record label called Paredon by 1970, joined up with Chambers Brothers, a black quartet from Mississippi known for putting cascades of gospel in their activist folk. They cut an album, Barbara Dane and the Chambers Brothers, a gorgeous document of the music that kept them all afloat during the struggle for desegregation. It is, you might say, trill. In sandpapery altos and wistful shapenote directives, they sang the blues promising, "We'll never turn back until we are free and have equality." Meditating on the necessity of civil disobedience, the players engaged in a maternal hum, every one of them, and belted, "It isn't nice. But if that's freedom's price, we don't mind. It isn't nice to block a doorway. It isn't nice to go to jail. But the nice ways always fail." They also say that "Freedom is a Constant Struggle"; in shapenote singing, their voices expand: "We must be free, we must be free, we must be free," they say. Deliverance in song, I say, real-life vehemence cures music and gives it a tang, ceviche from the sky. Cop that shit.

BBC One debuts 1st "Doctor Who" season 8 trailer (video)
July 14, 2014 - 18:33 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - BBC One debuted the first full trailer for "Doctor Who" season 8 during the World Cup final between Germany and Argentina on Sunday, July 13. Peter Capaldi stars as the latest incarnation of the Doctor, who will go "into darkness", AceShowbiz said.
"I don't think I know who the Doctor is any more," his companion Clara Oswald, played by Jenna Coleman, says. The Doctor himself says, "I'm the Doctor. I've lived for over two thousand years. I've made many mistakes, it's about time to do something about that."
A T-rex roaming the street in London, Daleks, Cyberman and The Paternoster Gang are seen in the video. At the end of the sneak peek, the Doctor asks Clara, "Am I a good man?" She replies, "I don't know."
The new season of "Doctor Who" will premiere Saturday, August 23, at 8 P.M. ET on BBC America. Samuel Anderson joins the cast in a recurring role as Danny Pink, a teacher at Coal Hill Secondary School where Clara also teaches.
Following the leak of five scripts for the upcoming season of the British sci-fi series, the first two episodes of season 8 have leaked online. A rough black-and-white cut of the first episode titled "Deep Breath" as well as the second episode were taken from the BBC Latin America headquarters in Miami and more episodes could be leaked online.
A BBC Worldwide spokesperson said of the latest leaks, "This is part of BBC Worldwide's ongoing security investigation into leaked unfinished Doctor Who materials. This content is currently being removed and originates from the same Miami server we disabled last week, it is not a new issue." They also asked fans not to share the leaked material.

The A-Series speakers are your solution to upgrading those worn out factory speakers. The cone is composed of a multilayer mica matrix material that is rigid enough to resist warping during playback, but soft enough to produce smooth and subtle mids. The soft dome tweeter uses Wave Guide technology in order to increase the sensitivity, thus providing great articulation in the high frequency spectrum. The passive crossover network will blend the mid-woofer and tweeter for a perfectly balanced sound all throughout the audible frequency range. These speakers are designed with a wide frequency response to ensure you are hearing every note of your favorite songs. The high temperature voice coil will reduce distortion by dissipating heat quickly, which will protect your investment for years to come. These speakers can be ran off either a head-unit or an amplifier, making them very versatile and applicable for most vehicles. Available in most common sizes, the A-Series speakers make for a great audio upgrade.

I bought these as the last part of an install, they went into the front
doors of my Ford Ranger.
I have Pioneer 2ways in the back, and a Pioneer DD hu, 50wx2.
These have pizeo tweeters, what used to be called "supertweeters"
back in the day, you put them on top of your loudspeaker.
Was worried about having four in a small truck, seemed like overkill.
Shouldn't have worried.
These speakers sound great, supertweeters are basically about cymbals, tamboreens, whistles. I did not put them in the back, you don't
get much treble from behind you. But they present a great soundstage
in front.
And Mids and bass is great also, don't need the graphic eq at all.
Sonic had the best price, and they also have speaker connectors that
make for a professional install, not to mention prevent wiring
a speaker backwards, or out of phase, which destroys bass. If your
vehicle uses a speaker connector, you need these, makes for an easy time of it when installing. Took me about half an hour.
Sonic and Pioneer, a great combo, and don't forget the Metra speaker
connects, best money you will ever spend

These speakers sound great...once I added in a Alpine Power Pack. Just pure HeadUnit power starves these things and you get no low end. Post-Powerpack install, the full range speaker sounds full range.
Since they are 4-way, they still pack a ton of high end and you may want to tweak down that end since it can get a little sharp to the ears with high-hat reproduction.

The difference from my stock speakers to these is night and day. These get twice as loud without running into the same distortion I was getting with my stock ones. Also if powered correctly and tuned right they actually do beat pretty good. For mids and highs these are what you are looking for

I highly recommend the 6x8 Pioneer speakers. I have them in my 94 Mustang and sounds loud over my V8 engine. Even with my stock amp it sounds good. Also I recommend Kenwood X597 radio combination. Thanks Sonic for low price and good quality. =)

I have a 1997 Ford F150 Extended/Supercab. It was the first time I had upgraded the sound system since we got it. I put them in with the old factory radio, and they sound SO AMAZING!!! I usually listen to dub-step and music with some good bass, and I usually have it pretty loud. For the size of it, it really puts out some good bass!!! I highly doubt you are going to find a better 6x8 speaker! Don't let the price deceive you, PLEASE!!! You will be missing out on a great deal and even greater speakers!

Great value when comparing to other sites. Model blows away the factory speakers and for the quality of the sound versus price paid makes it an outstanding value.

Used these speakers to replace two blown stock speakers in my 2010 Ford fusion se. Installed these myself using the metra 72 5600 speaker harness. Excellent speakers for the price. Extremely easy to install. I will be purchasing another row speakers to replace my other speakers (in working condition) in the near future for better sound quality.

At first encounter after install, music sounded like the upper frequencies dominated compared to the OEM speakers. I thought, these sound like cheap computer speakers! But I tweaked the EQ on the head unit to favor bass, and the range was once again balanced. Well, the upper range of the music was much clearer than OEM. Lows are pretty good, not muddy. I added a foam enclosure between the door sheet metal and the speaker (cut out the back) which may have damped the bass resonating through the door, which may have made the original speaker sound muddy in comparison.

Even if you don't have a blown speaker like I did, these speakers are definitely worth the purchase to replace factory speakers. I replaced my factory speakers in my 2012 Ford Escape and it makes a huge difference. Broader range of sound and clarity.

Power Rack
By TomC
The Rogue R-4
Right around the New Year, CrossFit Oakland received a shipment of matte black steel that weighed a few hundred pounds. After a short time, said steel was assembled and bolted to the floor on the side of the Sayoc Room to serve as a proper squat rack for the gym. The squat rack was a gift from David Sally, Mike Minium, and me to CrossFit Oakland. We wanted to provide an area where people could work on strength without getting in the way of the normally scheduled CrossFit classes.
In addition to making some room on the main gym floor, the rack provides a few niceties not previously available. The assembly provides extra stability when handling heavier weights and has a built-in set of safety chains to allow for a graceful exit from a failed squat. The chains also provide the ability for trainees to work on rack pulls, or barbell shrugs, should they desire to do so. The rack has precision-cut holes along the main uprights to allow for fine height adjustments of the j-hooks that hold the bar. Those looking to work on bench presses need only grab one of the flat benches from out on the floor and bring it into the rack to have a marvelously solid station from which to work. Holes are also drilled along the bottom and top beams to allow for band pegs. Devotees of Westside Barbell training methods will appreciate that capability. Lastly, the cross members at the top of the rack can be used as pullup bars, including the larger-than-normal diameter pullup bar in the back. Of course, we have lots and lots of pullup bars at CFO thanks to Daniel Hester's amazing fabrication skills, so this is just icing on the cake.
The rack is open to all CFO members that want to use it. It is not really intended to be a go-to choice for regular CrossFit workouts, but for those trainees that want to train their lifts, it is patiently waiting in the next room. Enjoy the rack and take good care of it. We are excited that it is here.
