SAN DIEGO, Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CUSO Financial Services, L.P. (CFS), a full-service broker dealer and SEC Registered Investment Adviser that provides customized investment and insurance solutions to credit unions, announces New England Federal Credit Union (NEFCU) as a new client. Operating out of six locations in northwestern Vermont, NEFCU is the largest credit union in the state. It is a community-based credit union, serving more than 85,000 members, and has more than $930 million in assets.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111108/MM02908LOGO)
While the program has been active for approximately 10 years, executives wanted to work with a broker dealer that better fit the credit union's culture. NEFCU executives reviewed six other broker dealers, and completed extensive due diligence on three before deciding on CFS.
"CFS understands the credit union business," said Bill Smith, NEFCU senior retail delivery executive. "NEFCU has a service-oriented culture that focuses on providing solutions to members. We wanted a broker dealer that could create a member experience based on credibility, trust, and advice. CFS has already delivered on their promises and our investment program is beginning to serve members in the way we had always envisioned."
Smith also cited robust CFS technology platforms and the company's ability to provide tools to allow members to manage their investment and insurance needs easier. NEFCU has implemented CFS' Financial Management Center (FMC), a member-facing, investment assessment and referral tool accessible via NEFCU's website. Using the FMC, members can get a high level financial "snapshot" of where they stand in relation to the achievement of various investment objectives.
The investment program is operated under the NEFCU Financial Group banner, and is a CFS managed program, meaning investment advisors are employed and managed by CFS. CFS program managers have already hired two experienced financial advisors to serve NEFCU members. "NEFCU Executives have integrated their investment program as a core product of the credit union, and we recognize that as a real commitment to their members," said Valorie Seyfert, CFS president and CEO. "We see great potential at NEFCU and look forward to an excellent partnership."

With DevOps becoming more well-known and established practice in nearly every industry that delivers software, it is important to continually reassess its efficacy. This week's top 10 includes a discussion on how the quick uptake of DevOps adoption in the enterprise has posed some serious challenges. Additionally, organizations who have taken the DevOps plunge must find ways to find, hire and keep their DevOps talent in order to keep the machine running smoothly.

Call it DevOps or not, if you are concerned about releasing more code faster and at a higher quality, the resulting software delivery chain and process will look and smell like DevOps. But for existing development teams, no matter what the velocity objective is, getting from here to there is not something that can be done without a plan. Moving your release cadence from months to weeks is not just about learning Agile practices and getting some automation tools. It involves people, tooling and ...

The notion of customer journeys, of course, are central to the digital marketer's playbook. Clearly, enterprises should focus their digital efforts on such journeys, as they represent customer interactions over time. But making customer journeys the centerpiece of the enterprise architecture, however, leaves more questions than answers. The challenge arises when EAs consider the context of the customer journey in the overall architecture as well as the architectural elements that make up each...

APIs have taken the world by storm in recent years. The use of APIs has gone beyond just traditional "software" companies, to companies and organizations across industries using APIs to share information and power their applications. For some organizations, APIs are the biggest revenue drivers. For example, Salesforce generates nearly 50% of annual revenue through APIs. In other cases, APIs can increase a business's footprint and initiate collaboration. Netflix, for example, reported over 5 bi...

As the software delivery industry continues to evolve and mature, the challenge of managing the growing list of the tools and processes becomes more daunting every day.

If there is anything we have learned by now, is that every business paves their own unique path for releasing software- every pipeline, implementation and practices are a bit different, and DevOps comes in all shapes and sizes. Software delivery practices are often comprised of set of several complementing (or even competing) methodologies – such as leveraging Agile, DevOps and even a mix of ITIL, to create the combination that's most suitable for your organization and that maximize your busines...

These days I mostly make my living as a consultant. Consultants in general are probably not the best loved group in the world. It is common to think of consultants wafting-in to your organization, telling you things that you already know and advising you to "change your culture", whatever that means. Subsequently they depart, no-doubt with a fat fee, and leave you as you were before with the same problems and no progress made.

The goal of any tech business worth its salt is to provide the best product or service to its clients in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible. This is just as true in the development of software products as it is in other product design services. Microservices, an app architecture style that leans mostly on independent, self-contained programs, are quickly becoming the new norm, so to speak. With this change comes a declining reliance on older SOAs like COBRA, a push toward more s...

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to get two add-ons, to be 10-20+ hours each
Despite being an estimated 200-plus hours, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is getting even bigger with the announcement of two downloadable expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. CD Projekt co-founder Marcin Iwinski emphasized the size of the additions by referencing the pre-DLC era, when expansions were physical releases, packed to the brim: "We remember the time when add-on disks truly expanded games by delivering meaningful content. As gamers, we'd like to bring that back." To that end, the studio aims that each "offer more hours of gameplay than quite a few standalone games out there," with Hearts of Stone estimated at over 10 hours long and Blood and Wine over 20 hours long.
Geralt goes MOBA, The Witcher Battle Arena out now for Android, iOS
Geralt of Rivia is getting in some practice before setting out in The Witcher 3 later this year in a new multiplayer online battle arena title for Android and iOS, The Witcher Battle Arena. As the leader of a three-hero party, players must guide their forces against another party in a battle to take and hold conquest points. The base game includes two maps, Nilfgaardian Arena and the Korath Desert, and nine customizable heroes from the Witcher series, including Geralt, Iorveth, and Philippa Eilhart. A "fair, player-friendly monetization system" is also in place, but all purchasable items, such as character gear and modes, can also be unlocked through gameplay.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt now up for pre-order on PSN
CD Projekt has announced that they've added The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt onto PSN for pre-order. Geralt of Rivia will be setting out on his next journey early next year when Wild Hunt launches for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. For those who missed the recent reveal, players will be able access 16 free DLC packs regardless of whether or not they pre-order.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to get 16 pieces of free DLC for all
CD Projekt Red has announced that everyone who buys The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will receive 16 pieces of free downloadable content. Every version—PC, PS4, and Xbox One—download or physical is eligible for the free packs, the first of which, the Temerian Armor Set and a Beard and Hairstyle Set for Geralt, will go live on February 25. The second set of packs will follow a week later, adding new quests and costumes. The remaining packs will launch weekly in two-pack bundles. All downloads will be free, regardless of whether the game is purchased after launch or pre-ordered.
CD Projekt Red releases The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt intro cinematic
The opening cinematic to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has been released by developer CD Projekt Red. Titled The Trail, the video is over three minutes of decapitation, impalement, magic, and hunting. And it looks fantastic. Amidst flashback sequences, Geralt and Vesemir track down the sorceress Yennefer of Vengerberg.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt shown at IgroMir, four new screens released
CD Projekt Red has released a few new screenshots from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The latest batch comes as a result of Russia's IgroMir expo. A few monsters, a nice vista, and a close-up shot of a few models await.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt editions, pre-order extras revealed
During their GOG.com Summer Conference, CD Projekt Red detailed a Collector's Edition and pre-order bonuses for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Wild Hunt will be available in three versions: a digital version, a standard boxed version, and the Collector's Edition. The standard physical release will include the game, the soundtrack, an informational book titled Witcher Universe – The Compendium, a map, a set of stickers, and a protective sleeve. The Collector's Edition includes even more, adding a steelbook box, a 200-page art book, a Witcher medallion, and a 33x24x26 cm hand-painted figure of Geralt of Rivia fighting a Griffin. There will even be an inner and outer box to store the goods.
Monsters breathing easier, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt delayed to 2015
Geralt is getting a reprieve before tackling his next challenge in The Witcher 3. Unfortunately, what's good news for the monster hunter is bad news for fans of the series as that means that the third installment has been delayed. CD Projekt RED has released an open letter announcing that the release of Wild Hunt has been pushed back until next February. The letter, which also details the reasoning behind the delay, can be found below.
Warner Bros. to distribute The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in North America
CD Projekt RED is teaming up with Warner Bros. Interactive for the North American release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Sigma Designs, a provider of System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions for delivering and displaying entertainment and control throughout the home, has introduced its SMP8910 media processor, what it calls one of the first chips to integrate VXP studio-quality video processing and 3-D video processing into a high-performance media processor.
The new processor chip will enhance the viewing experience and performance for connected media players, Blu-ray players and IPTV set-top boxes. SMP8910 samples will be available to customers in the first half of 2011.
The SMP8910 provides more than 6000DMIPS via a dual-core, 1004K MIPS CPU. The chip's distributed-processing architecture features task-optimized CPU that manage key processes, including HD multiformat video decoding, 3-D graphics rendering, content protection and security management, and multiformat audio encoding and decoding. This architecture leaves more than 3000DMIPS of available processing to smoothly run middleware, set-top box applications and the latest over-the-top applications.
Included VXP technology creates a rich, studio-grade viewing experience and is proven in demanding applications such as digital cinema projectors, prosumer A/V receivers and processors, broadcast monitors and premium-quality Blu-ray players. VXP excels at upscaling images, eliminating noise and video compression artifacts, and performing numerous image enhancements, such as adaptive contrast and detail enhancement.
The SMP8910 also includes two new VXP features: de-ghosting and adaptive debanding. De-ghosting reduces ghosting artifacts present on most current 3-D TVs by preprocessing the 3-D video before driving the 3-D TV, resulting in a more pleasing and less fatiguing viewing experience. Adaptive debanding reduces color contouring, commonly seen as bands of color instead of continuously smooth shading, resulting in a more pleasing image without loss of detail, especially on large displays.

Sandbags from Sikeston feed Southeast Missouri's flood fight
SIKESTON, Mo. -- Truck after truck pulls away from the gates at the Jaycee Rodeo Grounds. Some are filled with sand. Others are loaded down with already created sandbags.
Each is a truckload of hope that Southeast Missourians will be able to keep the floodwaters at bay.
The sun was shining brightly on the 80 National Guardsmen working Wednesday to fill the bags. After more than a week at their work, the men had the routine down.
The Guardsmen used Bobcats to scoop up sand, taking it to a machine provided by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The machine automatically loads each bag with the correct amount of sand and sends it down a belt into the hands of a waiting Guardsman. He passes the bag back to another who ties it and tosses over his shoulder.
Another Bobcat takes the bags away to be loaded on flatbed trailers to be moved where needed.
Lt. Rick Branson, a member of the 880th Engineers, traveled from Perryville, Mo., to assist in fighting Southeast Missouri's rising waters.
He had high praise not only for the soldiers but also for the community members who have joined them to fill the sandbags. Branson said the soldiers have worked side by side with volunteers from local churches, residents and even a high school baseball team.
"And the locals have been bringing us chili at night. We appreciate what they have been doing," Branson said. "And it's motivating."
Also motivating, Branson said, is another group of volunteers. Since Saturday, inmates at the Southeast Correctional Center have assisted by filling bags the old-fashioned way -- with shovels.
"They will bag about a ton of sand a minute," he said.
Jeff Norman, warden at the correctional center, said the inmates, who all volunteered to fill the bags, have been out from early morning until dusk, rain or shine, since Saturday.
He estimated the 200 volunteers have filled 50,000 to 55,000 bags in the past five days. "Honestly, I am almost astounded at how hard they are working," said Norman.
The men work in teams of 40 to fill the bags, which he estimated weigh 30 to 40 pounds dry, and more often during the recent rains weighed closer to 60 pounds.
Many of the volunteers at the prison have family in the area, but others have no idea who they are helping or where the sandbags will be used.
Other inmates, who have clearance to leave the prison, have assisted with filling sandbags on site. One group worked in Morehouse and on Wednesday and Thursday, there was a crew at Caruthersville, the warden said.
With the need for sandbags diminishing, the effort is winding down at the prison. However, Norman said the men are willing to continue if the need arises.
"These people made mistakes and are serving their time but they are still human. They still care," Norman said. "This was all voluntary. They volunteered to do it, and they did. They are proud of what they did and I'm proud, too. They have done just a fantastic job."

26/11: Pakistan court adjourns hearing on Saeed`s plea
Lahore: A Pakistani court has adjourned for nearly four months the hearing of a petition filed by Lashkar-e-Toiba founder Hafiz Mohammad Saeed seeking legal aid from the government to defend himself in a US lawsuit over the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
A Deputy Attorney General told Lahore High Court Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial yesterday that the US State and Justice Departments had challenged the American court`s jurisdiction for issuing summons to former Inter-Services Intelligence chief Ahmed Shuja Pasha and other Pakistani officials over the Mumbai attacks.
The Lahore High Court should wait till the challenge to the US court`s jurisdiction is decided before moving on Saeed`s petition, the Deputy Attorney General said.
The Chief Justice then adjourned the matter till September 24.
The US lawsuit was filed by relatives of two Jewish victims of the Mumbai attacks, which were carried out by members of the Pakistan-based LeT.
A total of 166 people were killed in the attacks in India`s financial hub in November 2008.
US nationals Rabbi Gabriel Noah Holtzberg and his wife Rivka were killed in the attacks. Their relatives filed nine claims against LeT members and several ISI officials.
They were accused of providing material support to the attackers.
The US court issued summons to Hafiz Saeed, former ISI chiefs Ahmad Shuja Pasha and Nadeem Taj and other Pakistani.
The Pakistan government had earlier informed the Lahore High Court that it will only provide legal aid to serving and former government officials and not to private individuals like Saeed.

Minnesota's death toll from influenza this season has now climbed to 176. This comes after the Minnesota Department of Health confirmed another 7 flu-related deaths from over the past week. The 176 deaths are the most the state has recorded in at least five flu seasons. Comparisons before that time are limited due to a change in the way the state Health Department calculates flu deaths. Flu illnesses continue to decrease. Last week a total of 37 people were hospitalized for the flu in Minnesota. A long-term care facility in St. Louis County reported a flu outbreak as well, as did schools in Murray and Big Stone Counties.

For whoever is following this, first the good news – we are no longer in the 'spend' freeze situation, so we can afford a little better winter getaway next year (Jan-Feb timeframe). This means a more generous budget of about 5000, maybe a little more, for a week (that includes the airfare from NYC).
We've been to (and loved them all): St.John, Virgin Gorda, Anguilla, Bonaire, Belize, Costa Rica. This time I am very undecided of where to go.
As much as I would like to go to St.Lucia, the robbery at gun point last year is a serious issue for us http://www.usatoday.com/story/cruiselog/2013/04/15/st-lucia-cruise-robbery/2083533/. I would still consider it if the "incident" had happened in a non-touristic area, or if the tourists' behavior was considered "not safe", but I cannot say that.
So, don't really want to return to any place we've visited before and don't want to go to St.Lucia. A place where we could snorkel would be great (Curacao?) or where we could explore lush jungle vegetation (Dominica?). Please don't suggest Roatan/Honduras, we are planning a longer trip in the future there.
We like renting a villa so a safe area fairly close to restaurants is important, and we usually rent a car. We prefer quiet islands or areas (no nightlife, no casinos) and safe. Other islands we are considering are Vieques, Jost van Dyke or the Grenadines, but I don't know anything about any of them. Also, Turks and Caicos, but I heard the water is cold(er) there in Jan/Feb. What are you suggesting?

Have you looked into Nevis? Not great snorkeling but lovely and gracious island. We stayed at Nisbet Plantation and loved it.
Report Abuse
Thanks Jimmie - Nisbet Plantation looks beautiful, but not what we are looking for. "Daily Rates Include full breakfast, afternoon tea and gourmet dinner"
We like to explore different restaurants...but I will include Nevis as an option, the island looks lovely, indeed.
Report Abuse
St. Barts. Take a look at the villas listed by Wimco and other rental agencies. In spite of it's high priced reputation, there are reasonably priced villas and restaurants on St. Barts.
Report Abuse
went to curacao last year to snorkeling. snorkeling was great.felt safe most of the time. I would stay a little northwest of willemsted so you would be close city and avoid traffic. best snorkeling is northwest up near westpunt. need a rental car. i stayed south last year and had to drive through traffic everyday.

Celebrity Constellation Cruise Review by Stilts47: Celebrity Constellation Immersive Wine
Overall Member Rating
Celebrity Constellation Immersive Wine
Destination: Europe - British Isles & Western
Embarkation: Other
We booked the cruise on a previous trip on Eclipse. We found out a couple of months before the trip, via a Newspaper that we could get the trip for £500 per person cheaper! no one from Celebrity or RCI had contacted us about this, despite the fact that we are Elite members. Not impressed! Anyway, we got onto our Travel Agents and they contacted Celebrity who agreed to the lower price, so that was nice.
We have been on Constellation twice before and always been impressed with the ship and the crew, but this time both seemed below their usual high standard. The ship looks tired in places, but it is due a refit in April next year which I trust will perk it up a bit.
The crew were OK but not as perky as usual, I got he feeling that something was going on behind the scenes, especially when I witnessed two of the ships Officers fawning over a Senior VP who had flown into Bilbao from Miami to join the ship.
Overall we enjoyed ours elves as it was our Wedding Anniversary More trip, but still got off a little disappointed which is not usually the case with Celebrity. The ports where we docked for Bordeaux and Paris are too far away, although we were there for two days so you had plenty of time.
We can't believe that they are turning Michael's Club into a Sports bar. Where are the hundreds of generally older patrons going to go to listen to performers like Perry Grant who packed them into the club every night, (despite the 'show' being the same format every evening. Standards have dropped, as we witnessed on the formal nights, dress codes not being enforced. Seems Celebrity are looking to cater to a younger clientele, so we will be off checking out P&O. Less
