Released just a few minutes ago was Linux 3.16-rc4. Merged over the past week was just the usual assortment of bug/regression fixes with nothing too major standing out from my Git watching of the code; Linus has yet to send out his official 3.16-rc4 announcement with his few remarks. The 3.16 activity to point out though from the past week for Phoronix readers would be Radeon DRM going for BAPM by default.
While the Linux 3.16 merge window has been over for weeks, if you're not yet up to speed on the changes for this next major kernel addition, read about the Linux 3.16 features. There's a lot of good stuff with the Linux 3.16 kernel! We've started benchmarking Linux 3.16 while plenty more performance tests are still forthcoming.

Hangar Hotel to ring in 2014 with USO dance
To ring in the New Year, the Hangar Hotel and Conference Center will host a 1940s-themed dance on New Year's Eve, Dec. 31.
The dance will feature Bill Smallwood and The Lonestar Swing Orchestra performing Big Band-era music.
A percentage of the proceeds will be donated to the United Service Organization at Fort Hood, which delivers programs and services to more than 40,000 service members and their families.
Attendees can participate in swing dance lessons from 8-9 p.m., at which point the band will take the stage for a performance lasting until 12:30 a.m.
Tickets to the event are $50 per person and include a champagne toast, party favors, black-eyed peas and cornbread at midnight.
Those who plan to attend are encouraged to wear their best '40s attire and participate in the costume contest. Those wearing a military uniform will receive a coupon for a free drink.
Organizers consider the Hangar Hotel a fitting setting for a USO-style dance because it was designed to mimic the look of a World War II airplane hangar where it sits adjacent to the Gillespie County Airport.
The event will be held in the Pacific Showroom, located next to the hotel and which is decorated in South Pacific/World War II style including tropical palm trees and a tiki bar.
For more information or to purchase a ticket, contact the Hangar Hotel at 830-997-9990.

Bad zippers
Got this as a gift to help carry extra shoes and pants to work to commute with. As soon as i opened it from the box the main zipper split. For some reason the opposite side one worked well so i just used that. Within a week though the upper compartment zipper started splitting occasionally. Finally the main zipper split and refuses to bite together at all. Had this for about 2-3 weeks and actually used it maybe 3 times. The magnets worked great, no slippage. The pockets were great as designed. Another complaint, they put a foam insert to demonstrate an ipod nano in the clear pocket, well the white paint rubbed off on the clear plastic so i had to scrub my brand new bag for an hour with a Brillo pad to get all the paint off to actually see my smartphone through the plastic.

maybe I just got a bad one
Got the bad in a very timely fashion. Upon looking at it I was real excited to be able to use it , especially with my Ipod touch and GPS. But I received it today and tonight I was getting it ready for my trip to work in the morning and the main pocket zipper wont stay together. I tried to pull both zippers back to the end , and everytime I get the same result. It will zip and then just come apart. All I had in the main compartment is a pair thin rain pants and a pair of gloves. Am very disappointed and will be packing it up to return in the morning

Can a tank bag be sexy?
Well if it is possible this one close to it. I hate the boring standard box like tank bags. I have an incredibly arrow dynamic bike and a rectangular box sitting on my tank. That just makes no sense. The styling of this bag is supurb and compliments the curves of sporty bikes. The magnetic flaps fold under when in storage and stick to each other. So I do not use all the compartments as intended. In the iPod spot I put my tollway tag. In the cell phone compartment I oddly enough put my iPhone or my GPS. BTW, my 4.3" GPS fits fine in that cell phone cmpartment. Ironicaly I use a Bluetooth stereo helmet to listen to music wirelessly from my iPhone. This bag may be named "I-Wire" but rest assured it works quite well with no wires at all.

Purchased as a gift and it was a hit
This bag was purchased as a gift and fit the tank on my son's bike easily. He really enjoys the ability to put items into the bag and be able to easily take the bag with him when he arrives at his destination.

Parrish is a long, plodding account of man vs monopoly in Connecticut's tobacco game.
Parrish is a long, plodding account of man vs monopoly in Connecticut's tobacco game.Based on the novel by Mildred Savage, director Delmer Daves' screenplay is something of a cross between a rich man's Tobacco Road and a poor man's A Place in the Sun. Troy Donahue essays the title role of a poor young man who emerges from a laborer's toil in the Connecticut tobacco fields to challenge the dynasty of mighty land baron Karl Malden. A number of romantic entanglements crop up to complicate this basic conflict, not the least of which are Donahue's bat-of-an-eyelash love affairs with Malden's daughter (Sharon Hugueny), his arch rival's (Dean Jagger's) daughter (Diane McBain) and a loose field girl (Connie Stevens) who gives illegitimate birth to the child of Malden's son (Hampton Fancher). Then there is the supreme complication: Malden's marriage to Donahue's mother (Claudette Colbert). Donahue is handsome and has his moments, but lacks the animation and projection that is required to bring the title character, curiously vacant and elusive as written, into clearer focus. The picture's three principal veterans – Colbert, Malden and Jagger – do well, particularly Malden in spite of the exaggerated nature of his role.

The described subject matter relates to electronic communication, and more particularly to differential updates for data broadcasting.
The term "data broadcasting" (also referred to sometimes as "datacasting") refers generally to the widespread distribution of the same content to a plurality (typically a large number) of subscriber units. Advances in electronic computing and communication technology, particularly wireless communication technology, have enabled data broadcasting techniques to be applied in wireless communication markets to service mobile subscriber units. Examples of such technologies include Digital Audio Broadcast, or Digital Video Broadcast. The content is broadcast to multiple clients simultaneously using the same physical channel (e.g, the same time slot or frequency), thereby efficiently using network resources. Regardless of the number of subscriber units, the server only sends one copy of the content, thus minimizing the impact in the server's capacity.
Conventional data broadcasting systems are push systems, which do not permit users to specify the content that is pushed through the broadcast communication channel. Rather, data broadcasting systems pre-select a number of documents to be broadcasted. Documents are placed in a queue, sometimes referred to as a "carousel" and broadcast sequentially in a rotating manner.
Bandwidth limitations in the wireless communication channel(s) available to data broadcasting services establish a real physical limit to the amount of content that a data broadcasting service can distribute in a given time period. Improved content distribution schemes would enable data broadcasting services to manage limited bandwidth more effectively and to provide improved services to customers.
Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for performing differential updates for data broadcasting. In exemplary implementations one or more computing devices associated with a data broadcasting system maintains profile data records for subscribers to the data broadcasting system. The allocation of content in the broadcast carousel for a broadcast region may be adjusted in response to version information for specific documents among subscribers in the broadcast region.
Exemplary implementations of methods, systems, and computer program products for intelligent data broadcasting are described herein. In certain implementations, techniques can utilize subscriber preference and/or location information to adjust the data broadcast content within a specific data broadcast region. In certain implementations, a network management system can adjust data broadcast content on one or more data broadcasting regions in a dynamic fashion in response to changes in the distribution of subscriber preferences in the region.
Exemplary Operating Environment
Referring to
In the implementation depicted in
Head end 112 further includes infrastructure necessary for broadcasting a data signal. In a wireless communication environment such infrastructure may include equipment for encoding, modulating, and transmitting or transceiving a radio frequency (RF) signal at a specific frequency (or frequencies), or in accordance with a specific multi-frequency protocol. Such equipment is readily commercially available, and is known to those skilled in the art. The particular encoding, modulating, and/or transmission scheme is not important.
The broadcast environment 100 further includes a plurality of subscriber units 114, 116, 118, which may be embodied as wireless communication devices such as, e.g., personal computers (PCs), laptop computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), mobile phones, or the like.
In an exemplary implementation the head end 112 may be assigned a unique identifier within broadcast environment 100. A head end 112 may be identified by a network address, station name, a carrier frequency, or other distinct designation. A data broadcast from a head end 112 to a subscriber unit 114, 116, 118 takes place over a communication channel. In an exemplary implementation the communication channel(s) may be defined by modulating a carrier wave in accordance with any conventional RF broadcasting technique such as, e.g., TDMA, FDMA, CDMA, or the like. The transmitted content may include various forms of data including, e.g., text, audio, video, and may also include control signals including, e.g., timing signals, power signals, location signals, etc. Control signals may be broadcast in-band, or on a separate control channel. In alternate embodiments the communication channel may comprise an uplink channel that may be implemented over a wired network such as, e.g., the internet, or a wireless network, or combinations thereof.
Broadcast environment 100 further includes a broadcast center 140 for managing the broadcast operations of head ends 112 and a management center 150 for managing subscriber profile information and other network management information. Broadcast center 140 includes a broadcast manager 142 and a broadcast data store 144. Management center 150 includes a subscriber profile manager 152 and a subscriber data profile 154. Broadly, the broadcast center 140 cooperates with the management center 150 to manage subscriber information, network information, and data broadcasting from one or more of the respective head ends 112 of the operating environment 100.
In one exemplary implementation broadcast center 140 and management center 150 may reside on a single computing device such as, e.g., a server computer associated with broadcasting environment 100. In alternate implementations the responsibility for broadcast management and subscriber profile management may be distributed between the head ends and the management center 150 in a different manner, or may be consolidated in either the management center 150 or the head ends 112. For example, the environment 100 may include a single management center 150, but the head end 112 may include a broadcast center 140.
In an exemplary implementation the head end 112 cooperates with the management center 150 to implement a data broadcast network that may cover a geographic region ranging in size from a region as small as a specific building or a corporate or academic campus to a region as large an entire country or continent. Broadly, the head end 112 cooperates with the management center 150 to manage subscriber information, network information, and data broadcasting. Communication sessions between the subscriber units 114, 116 and the management center 150 may be initiated over the wireless link on an ad-hoc basis or in a structured fashion such as, e.g., during a synchronization procedure.
Memory 218 includes an operating system 220 for managing operations of computer 208. In an exemplary implementation one or more application programs executable on the processing unit 216 reside in memory 218, including a profile manager 222 and a broadcast manager 224. Memory 218 further includes one or more data files including user profile data files 228 and data broadcast files 230. Operation of the system 200 is explained in greater detail below.
Referring to
In an alternate implementation comprising multiple broadcast regions the subscriber profiles may be specific to the respective broadcast region in which the subscriber device is operating. By way of example, a subscriber may be interested in a particular set of information when the subscriber is in broadcast region 110 and a different set of information when the subscriber is in a different broadcast region. In such an implementation the subscriber profile may be modified to include a data broadcast region indicator and corresponding data of interest for the particular broadcast region(s).
In an exemplary implementation the data broadcast manager 224 maintains the data broadcast schedule 400. The data broadcast manager 224 may include a user interface that permits a user to add documents to or delete documents from the data broadcast schedule 400, and/or to modify the periodicity with which documents are broadcast. The broadcast duration is a function of the amount of data to be broadcast and the bandwidth available to the data broadcasting system 100. When a scheduled broadcast is complete the broadcast manager 224 may update the start time 440 and stop time 450 to reflect the next broadcast of the document.
The data broadcast files 230 may also include the content to be broadcast. By way of example, the soccer document may include scores and other information about soccer teams, the stock quotes may document may include current quotes for particular stocks. This information may be updated periodically by the data broadcast manager 224 or by another application program executing on the processing unit 216 of computer 208. When the scheduled broadcast time for a document arrives, the broadcast manager retrieves the document from the data broadcast files 230 and broadcast the document over from one or more head ends 112 in the system 100. In this regard, it will be appreciated that the broadcast schedule may be specific to a head end 112, such that the broadcast schedule is unique to a broadcast region 110.
Referring again to
The particular transmission medium by which the documents are transmitted to the subscriber units is not important. In one implementation documents are transmitted to the subscriber unit over a wireless communication channel between a head end 112 and a subscriber unit 114, 116, 118. In another implementation documents may also be transmitted to the subscriber unit over a wired connection, e.g., such as a data network, when a subscriber unit is positioned in its cradle for charging. When the documents are received by the subscriber units 114, 116, 118, the subscriber units transmit a confirmation message back to the management center 150. The confirmation message includes information identifying the version of the document stored in the memory of the subscriber unit 114, 116, 118. This version information may be stored in the subscriber profile 300.
Exemplary Operations
In an exemplary implementation, the broadcast manager(s) 224 cooperate with the profile manager(s) 222 to manage the data broadcast in an intelligent manner which reflects the aggregate version information of documents for the subscribers in the broadcast region.
Referring to
At operation 520, broadcast bandwidth is allocated to the versions of the document. In an exemplary implementation broadcast bandwidth for each version of the document may be allocated in proportion to the number of subscriber units who require the differential information in a version to bring the version of the document stored on the subscriber unit up to date.
By way of example, and referring to
When a subscriber unit receives the document, the subscriber unit can optionally execute a routine to determine whether the document should be committed to memory. In an exemplary implementation the document may include an identifier that includes information that permits the subscriber unit to make this determination. By way of example, the document may include a version number, and the subscriber unit may commit the document to memory only if the version number of the received document corresponds to a predetermined version numbering scheme. If the subscriber unit commits the document to memory, then the subscriber unit may transmit a confirmation message to the subscriber profile manager 152 indicating that the document has been committed to memory. The subscriber profile manager 152 may receive the profile information update from subscriber units (operation 530) and then update the subscriber profile associate with the subscriber unit to reflect receipt of the document (operation 535). Control may then pass back to operation 515, and the broadcast manager can continue processing other documents in the queue.
By repeating the process illustrated in
Exemplary Computing Device
The various components and functionality described herein may be implemented with a number of individual computers.
Generally, various different general purpose or special purpose computing system configurations can be used. Examples of well known computing systems, environments, and/or configurations that may be suitable for use with the invention include, but are not limited to, personal computers, server computers, hand-held or laptop devices, multiprocessor systems, microprocessor-based systems, set top boxes, programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers, distributed computing environments that include any of the above systems or devices, and the like.
The functionality of the computers is embodied in many cases by computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, that are executed by the computers. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, etc. that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Tasks might also be performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote computer storage media.
The instructions and/or program modules are stored at different times in the various computer-readable media that are either part of the computer or that can be read by the computer. Programs are typically distributed, for example, on floppy disks, CD-ROMs, DVD, or some form of communication media such as a modulated signal. From there, they are installed or loaded into the secondary memory of a computer. At execution, they are loaded at least partially into the computer's primary electronic memory. The invention described herein includes these and other various types of computer-readable media when such media contain instructions programs, and/or modules for implementing the steps described below in conjunction with a microprocessor or other data processors. The invention also includes the computer itself when programmed according to the methods and techniques described below.
For purposes of illustration, programs and other executable program components such as the operating system are illustrated herein as discrete blocks, although it is recognized that such programs and components reside at various times in different storage components of the computer, and are executed by the data processor(s) of the computer.
With reference to
Computer 600 typically includes a variety of computer-readable media. Computer-readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by computer 600 and includes both volatile and nonvolatile media, removable and non-removable media. By way of example, and not limitation, computer-readable media may comprise computer storage media and communication media. "Computer storage media" includes volatile and nonvolatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information such as computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules, or other data. Computer storage media includes, but is not limited to, RAM, ROM, EEPROM, flash memory or other memory technology, CD-ROM, digital versatile disks (DVD) or other optical disk storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to store the desired information and which can be accessed by computer 600. Communication media typically embodies computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave or other transport mechanism and includes any information delivery media. The term "modulated data signal" means a signal that has one or more if its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. By way of example, and not limitation, communication media includes wired media such as a wired network or direct-wired connection and wireless media such as acoustic, RF, infrared and other wireless media. Combinations of any of the above should also be included within the scope of computer readable media.
The system memory 606 includes computer storage media in the form of volatile and/or nonvolatile memory such as read only memory (ROM) 610 and random access memory (RAM) 612. A basic input/output system 614 (BIOS), containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within computer 600, such as during start-up, is typically stored in ROM 610. RAM 612 typically contains data and/or program modules that are immediately accessible to and/or presently being operated on by processing unit 604. By way of example, and not limitation,
The computer 600 may also include other removable/non-removable, volatile/nonvolatile computer storage media. By way of example only,
The drives and their associated computer storage media discussed above and illustrated in
The computer may operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computing device 650. The remote computing device 650 may be a personal computer, a server, a router, a network PC, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above relative to computer 600. The logical connections depicted in
When used in a LAN networking environment, the computer 600 is connected to the LAN 652 through a network interface or adapter 656. When used in a WAN networking environment, the computer 600 typically includes a modem 658 or other means for establishing communications over the Internet 654. The modem 658, which may be internal or external, may be connected to the system bus 608 via the I/O interface 642, or other appropriate mechanism. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the computer 600, or portions thereof, may be stored in the remote computing device 650. By way of example, and not limitation,
Although the described arrangements and procedures have been described in language specific to structural features and/or methodological operations, it is to be understood that the subject matter defined in the appended claims is not necessarily limited to the specific features or operations described. Rather, the specific features and operations are disclosed as preferred forms of implementing the claimed present subject matter.

May 1, 1999
PULLMAN, Wash. - University of Washington second baseman Brent Robertson hit a second inning grand slam for his first collegiate home run capping a five-run second inning as the Huskies held on for the 9-6 win over Washington State in a Pacific-10 Conference game Friday night at Bailey Field.
The Cougars, which lost its 14th consecutive Pac-10 game and sixth in a row overall, dropped to 18-25 on the year and 1-15 in league. The Huskies improved its overall mark to 28-13 and 10-6 in league play. The third place Huskies have now won nine of its last 10 games.
The Huskies took the lead in the second inning when Robertson connected on the grand slam off WSU starter Todd Meldahl. After a Dominic Woody leadoff double, a walk, and a hit-by-pitch, Robertson put the 2-1 Meldahl offering just over the center field fence. Dwight DeMar capped the five-run outburst with a solo shot for his first collegiate home run.
In the bottom of the second the Cougars answered with three runs to cut the Huskies advantage to two. Junior shortstop Shawn Stevenson (Everett) drove home two runs with his 14th double of the year. In the third the Cougars appeared to have the game tied at five when Jeff Scherer (Sr., Kennewick) connected on a double with two runners on base. Bookie Gates (Fr., Seattle) scored from second and Steve Curran (Jr., Bellevue) scored all the way from first, but was called out for missing third base.
With UW holding a 6-5 lead in the fifth, the Huskies added two more runs when Tyson Boston tripled home Woody, and then scored on a throwing error by Boyd Robertson (Sr., Richland).
The Cougars had its opportunities to get back in the game, but left the bases loaded twice and 14 runners on base overall. Stevenson paced the Cougars at the plate going 4-for-6 with a double and two RBIs. Over the course of his three-year WSU career the junior shortstop has dominated UW pitching hitting at a .439 (29-66) clip in 17 games. The four-hit game raised Stevenson's 1999 batting average 12 points to .302. Scherer was 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles and two runs scored. The three through seven hitters in the Cougar lineup combined to go 0-for-16.
UW started Jeff Heaverlo struggled in his outing giving up five runs and six hits in only three innings of work. The All-American struck out four in recording the no-decision. Reliever Mike Bomar gave up one run over the course of his three and two-thirds innings. The lefty picked up the win improving his season mark to 4-2. Taylor Grant pitched two and a third innings of shutout ball giving up only one hit to pick up his second save of the year.
Meldahl (Jr., Butte, Mont.) picked up the loss falling to 3-5 on the year. The left-hander gave up 11 hits and eight runs in six and two-thirds innings. Jamaal Gaines (Sr., Antioch, Calif.) finished the game for WSU giving up a run in two and one-thirds innings.

Violence & criminalization: Realities for women living with #HIV (our CAHR 2016 poster) pwn.bc.ca/wp-content/upl… #HIVCan #HIVlaw 2 hours ago
It used to be that when a woman was diagnosed with HIV, she was told she shouldn't have kids. Thankfully, that has changed with the improvement of diagnosis, care and treatment. Learning about HIV and pregnancy, getting pregnant, and mother to child transmission can put your mind at rest.
Getting pregnant and becoming a parent is huge. If you have HIV, it's good to consider:
If you find out you have HIV during your pregnancy, it can be a real shock, but your pregnancy can be healthy. Getting good prenatal care is really important. Find the nearest doctor that specializes in HIV obstetrical care. If you live in BC, Oak Tree Clinic can see you or make a referral to your closest doctor.
If you are HIV-positive and your partner is not, you can safely get pregnant through self-insemination. Have your partner ejaculate into a small cup, then use an oral syringe (available at drug stores at the pharmacy counter) to squirt the semen as high up in your vagina as possible. The sperm will swim up through your cervix, and with luck, conception will occur! If you are both HIV-positive, getting pregnant is more risky, but not impossible and there are ways to lower the risks of exposure. Oak Tree Clinic is a good source of friendly, non-judgmental information.
Mother to Child transmission (also know as vertical or pediatric HIV transmission), happens when a baby is infected during pregnancy or labour. HIV treatment during pregnancy is a combination of drugs designed to slow the replication of HIV and decrease the chances of it crossing over the placenta to the baby. If you choose to take treatment during pregnancy, the chance your baby will become infected is about 1% (1 in 100). If you don't, the chance your baby could become infected is about 25% (25 in 100). We don't know the life-long effects of these treatments on kids who were exposed during pregnancy, but Oak Tree Clinic can give you the most up-to-date research.
HIV can also be transmitted through breast milk, so breastfeeding is not recommended. Programs may offer free infant formula to HIV+ moms in BC; check with us or Oak Tree for current information.

From an economic perspective, tort law is concerned with internalizing the costs associated with accidental harm. This chapter develops the basic accident model that economists have employed to examine the structure of tort law.
The economic analysis of tort law is primarily concerned with the incentives that various assignments of liability create for injurers and victims to take precautions against accidents. 1 In most accident settings, if injurers do not face the threat of liability for the victims' injuries, they have no incentive to take precautions because the victims' costs represent an externality. 2 Alternatively, if victims always expect to be fully compensated for their injuries, they too will have little or no incentive to take precaution. This two-sided "moral hazard" presents a difficult problem for tort law, and the economic model of accidents (the model of precaution) shows how negligence rules elegantly solve it. More broadly, the basic principles that arise from this analysis turn out to be applicable to problems in both contracts and property, thereby demonstrating the ability of the model to provide a unifying framework for the economic analysis of law. 3
The first section of the chapter develops the basic accident model and examines the effect of various liability rules on the incentives of injurers; and victims. It is therefore largely normative. The second section takes a more positive approach by examining the well-known Hand test for negligence and the role of causation requirements in the economic model. The third section considers the question of whether standards of care for negligence (or any legal standard) should be individualized or based on a representative person (the so-called reasonable person). The fourth section examines the role of activity levels as distinct from precaution as determinants of accident risk. Since an important example of an injurer's activity level is the number of units of a dangerous product produced by a manufacturer, the economics of product liability is examined in this section. Finally, the fifth section considers several issues relevant to the determination of damages: specifically, whether damage awards should be individualized or based on the losses of the average victim, the impact

HERMISTON, Ore. (AP) — Law enforcement officers in northeast Oregon's Umatilla County are asking for help from the public as they search for a Hermiston woman missing under what they call suspicious circumstances.
Sheriff's officers say 26-year-old Melody Kaye Mickel left a Rite Aid store where she worked in Hermiston at about 5:30 a.m. Thursday and was later reported missing by a co-worker.
The investigation led officers to a home where a former boyfriend of Mickel lived. Undersheriff Terry Rowan said in a statement Friday that unspecified "additional suspicious circumstances" were found at the home.
In a statement, Rowan says officers are looking for Mickel, Alberto Martinez and a black 2006 Subaru Legacy.

Chicago Board Options Exchange
|Chicago Board Options Exchange
|Apr. 26, 1973
|400 S. LaSalle Street, Chicago, IL 60605
|Key People
|Edward T. Tilly, CEO; Edward L. Provost, President and COO
|Options on equities, equity indexes, ETFs
|Company News
The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) was founded in April 1973 as the first U.S. options exchange offering standardized, listed options.
CBOE Holdings, the parent company for CBOE, ranked as the world's seventh-largest derivatives exchange by contract volume in 2015, according to the annual Futures Industry Association's survey of the world's leading derivatives exchanges. CBOE Holdings recorded its eighth straight year of volume over 1 billion contracts in 2015 with 1.17 billion contracts traded on its three exchanges, CBOE, C2 Options Exchange and CBOE Futures Exchange. [1][2][3]
As of January 2014, CBOE listed options on more than 3500 equity and exchange traded products and on 14 cash indexes. It's sister exchange, C2 Options Exchange, offers a different pricing model as an all-electronic equity options exchange.
Trading at CBOE is handled by the exchange's Hybrid system -- powered by the CBOE Command trade engine -- which enables customers to choose whether to have their transactions handled electronically or through open outcry. About 95 percent of CBOE orders are traded electronically, which equates to between 50 and 60 percent of the exchange's total business. The remaining transactions, traded via open outcry, typically are large or complex institutional orders that use the skills of floor brokers to "work the order" to gain potential price improvement.
In January 2016, the CBOE announced it would be launch a new trade engine, CBOE Vector, on its CBOE Futures Exchange. Vector will eventually be deployed for options trading as well.[4]
Chicago Board Options Exchange History
In addition to the history snapshot below, CBOE created a video to celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2013, which can be accessed here
Launched on Apr. 26, 1973, the Chicago Board Options Exchange was created by the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), which was seeking new avenues to supplement revenues from flagging futures transactions. CBOT leaders began attempting in the late '60s to find a market that would diversify its traditional agricultural futures product line. In 1969, the idea was born to apply the principles of the CBOT's commodity futures markets to securities options. Until then, securities options prices were usually obtained by word of mouth or from the newspapers. The original idea was written on the back of a napkin by then-CBOT vice chairman Ed O'Connor during a dinner with then-Chairman Bill Mallers and President Henry Hall Wilson. It took years of research, work, and finding backing from people who could overcome exchange and government opposition. [5]
During early days of trading, volume averaged about 1,000 calls a day, and puts were not introduced for another four years. A year after launch, CBOE trading volume had grown 40-fold, allowing the exchange to move onto its own larger trading floor directly above the CBOT trading floor. Then in 1984, CBOE moved to its current 10-story building at 400 South LaSalle in Chicago - a far cry from its first home in the former CBOT smoking lounge.
Product Additions
One of the most noteworthy milestones in CBOE's history was the launch of stock index options, which began in March 1983 with the exchange's first proprietary index, the CBOE-100 Index, later renamed the S&P 100 Index (OEX). Four months later, options trading on the S&P 500 Index (SPX) was launched.
Subsequent years saw creation of more new products and indexing tools, including:
- Long-term Equity AnticiPation Securities (LEAPS) (1990)
- FLEX options (1993)
- CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) (1993)
- Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX) (1997)
- VXN Volatility Index (VXN) (2001)
- CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index (BXM) (2002) - first major benchmark for options performance, stemming from a study by a Duke University professor
- Weeklys options (2005)
- CBOE S&P 500 PutWrite Index (PUT) (2007)
CBOE Futures and Securities Exchanges
With multi-asset-class trading/investing an increasing part of the financial world, CBOE introduced affiliated exchanges:
- CBOE Futures Exchange (CFE) (2004)
- CBOE Stock Exchange (CBSX) (2007) (closed)
- C2 Options Exchange (C2) (2010)
CBOE Becomes a Publicly Traded Company
The CBOE's parent company, CBOE Holdings Inc., went public on June 15, 2010, at a share price of $29.[6]
Options on Equities
As of January, 2014, CBOE listed approximately 3500 equity and ETF options .[7]
Index-Related Products
As of January 1, 2014, CBOE listed 14 cash index options for trading. As early as 1983, CBOE began to establish exclusive licensing agreements with Standard & Poor's to offer stock index options based on the S&P 500 (SPX) and S&P 100 (OEX), and later with Dow Jones on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. In addition, the CBOE has created proprietary indexes and index methodologies, e.g., the VIX and a long list of volatility products, for tracking market volatility and investor sentiment. The exchange has been recognized for its index product development and as the creator of volatility products.[8][9][10]
In March of 2013, CBOE Holdings renewed their exclusive license agreement with S&P Dow Jones Indices to list the S&P 500 index options contract (SPX) until 2031, with non-exclusive listing rights through 2033.[11]
In 1993, CBOE unveiled the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX). CBOE and the options industry celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1998, followed by the CBOE ADV surpassing one million contracts for the first time in 2000.[12]
On December 10, 2014 CBOE announced it had entered into a licensing agreement with MSCI Inc. to offer options trading on several MSCI indexes. Under the agreement, in the U.S., options on the MSCI indexes will be solely listed for trading on the CBOE. The six indexes included in the agreement are the MSCI EAFE Index, MSCI Emerging Markets Index, MSCI ACWI Index, MSCI USA Index, MSCI World Index and the MSCI ACWI ex-USA Index. The exchange plans to offer options trading in the first quarter of 2015, pending regulatory approval, on two of MSCI's best-known indexes: the MSCI EAFE Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index; it plans to list options on the four other MSCI Indexes later in 2015.[13]
On February 26, 2015 CBOE announced it had entered into a licensing agreement with the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) to list options based on more than two dozen FTSE and Russell indices. Cash-settled options on the indices will be listed on the CBOE. CBOE and LSEG will also collaborate on new index options products and investor education globally.[14]
On May 1, 2015, CBOE Holdings announced plans to list futures and options with weekly expirations on the VIX Index. VIX Weeklys futures began trading at CBOE Futures Exchange in July 2015.[15]

|Benchmarks Calculated by CBOE
|CBOE calculates a number of proprietary indexes, including the indexes in the list below. CBOE has won numerous innovation awards stemming from the development and application of many of these indexes:
CBOE Executives
- Edward T. Tilly, Chief Executive Officer
- Edward L. Provost, President and Chief Operating Officer
- Alan J. Dean, EVP/CFO
- Joanne Moffic-Silver, EVP, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary
- Gerald T. O'Connell, EVP/CIO
- Philip M. Slocum, EVP, Special Advisor to the Chairman
- Former CBOE Chairman and CEO William J. Brodsky assumed the new position of Executive Chairman of the Board in May 2013 after stepping down from his post as CEO.
In 2003, CBOE introduced the CBOE Hybrid Trading System. The practical philosophy behind Hybrid was that customers should be allowed to choose whether their orders are represented in the face-to-face open outcry marketplace or submitted to the electronic environment. In the electronic environment, CBOE Hybrid also can provide price improvement opportunities through features like Automated Improvement Mechanism (AIM) and Complex Order Auction (COA).
CBOE Hybrid lets market makers submit real-time, streaming quotes reflecting their individualized trading interest. CBOE disseminates the best bid and offer from all market participants, resulting in tighter, deeper markets that can be accessed electronically by customers. According to the exchange,[16] liquidity is enhanced by remote participants - Electronic Designated Primary Market Makers (e-DPMs) and Remote Market Makers (RMMs) - as these market participants are allowed to stream quotes and trade electronically from remote locations.
Before the advent of the Hybrid System, CBOE introduced other technological solutions, including:
- 1984 - Launch of Retail Automatic Execution System (RAES) to facilitate electronic order execution;
- 1989 - Introduction of EBook, the first electronic customer limit order book;
- 1993 - Market makers on the CBOE trading floor use electronic, hand-held terminals;
- 1999 - Introduction of ROS, the Rapid Opening System, to shorten the time taken for the opening rotation;
- 2001 - Launch of CBOEdirect; the exchange's screen-based trading system, initially used for extended hours trading;
- 2010 - CBOE introduces its new front end, Pulse. The technology is the first product to emerge from Signal Trading Systems, a joint venture between CBOE and FlexTrade Systems.[17]
- 2012 - Launch of CBOE Command, CBOE's new-generation trading system, which powers CBOE, C2 Options Exchange, CBOE Futures Exchange, CBOE Stock Exchange and OneChicago.
- 2016 - Announcement of Vector as next trade engine.
On August 7, 2015, CBOE Holdings the market data services and trading analytics platforms of Livevol, Inc., a provider of equity and index options technology and market data services.[18]
CBOE Educational Efforts
The Options Institute is the educational arm of CBOE. The Options Institute debuted in 1985 to educate investors about options. Each year, hundreds of seminars are held in the U.S. and internationally, aimed at individual and institutional investors, market regulators and others. Curricula are produced and courses are taught by CBOE trading industry professionals.
With the advent of technology and on-demand education, the Options Institute has added a comprehensive listing of online curricula to its live seminar lineup. These educational efforts are sponsored both by CBOE and by options-related firms to give investors and institutions an increased appreciation for options strategies and how they can be used in various portfolios to manage risk/maximize profit.
CBOE also hosts CBOE TV, which features an extensive list of online programs and podcasts on daily market developments, options products and practical strategies.

Senators fired questions Tuesday at the sponsor of a bill to ban drivers from talking on hand-held cell phones, and diluted the measure with amendments to reduce punishment and allow motorists to call a loved one in an emergency.
While support for separate legislation to bar drivers from texting on cell phones this year appears to be strong, the ban on calling while driving got lukewarm support from several members of the Senate Commerce Committee.
"I don't think we can protect everybody in every situation," said Sen. David Hoyle, D-Gaston, who said eating in the car can lead to inattentive driving. "That's a lot more distracting, particularly when you start dropping chili on your tie."
The sponsor, Sen. Charlie Dannelly, agreed to some changes because he wanted to make the bill as palatable to as many members as possible. It won't get a final committee vote until at least next week.
The bill would expand on a 2006 law that prohibits drivers under
18 years old from talking on the phone, except in an emergency and
while talking to a parent or emergency personnel.
Dannelly's measure would apply to all drivers in vehicles with motors running, although adults using handsfree phones would be exempt.
Committee members cited studies showing that other forms of distraction -- eating, adjusting the radio or daydreaming -- also are
On a voice vote, the committee narrowly approved an amendment
reducing the penalty from $100 to $25 and deleting the obligation
to pay court costs.

GARY Waddock wants answers from James Constable and Tom Newey about their futures by the end of this week.
The pair were the only players out of contract at Oxford United this summer to be offered new deals last week.
They have spent the weekend considering the terms and Waddock wants a resolution in the next few days so both parties know where they stand.
The U's head coach said: "Players will want to consider their options, which is fair enough.
"But I also have to consider what I need to do here for this club.
"If you allow it to drag on through the summer it doesn't help anybody and I would like a quick answer.
"They either want to be a part of it, or they don't, but saying that I want both of the players here."
Along with captain Jake Wright, who had an additional season clause activated by the club, Constable was the highest-profile United player out of contract this summer.
The 29-year-old is the longest-serving member of the squad, has been their top-scorer for the last six seasons and is just two goals away from becoming their all-time top marksman.
Newey was only signed last summer, but was United's first choice left back all season, making 47 starts in all competitions.
Waddock made it clear the ball was in the players' court and felt the deals were fair.
He said: "In the current climate, the salaries they've been offered are good.
"If you look at any football club now you have to be mindful of the figures you are banding about.
"It's up to the players whether they want to be a part of it.
"We've offered them contracts because we want them here, it's as simple as that."

Stock down 5% AH on light volume. Over-reaction but thats ok. Still haven't bought more shares, just waiting for the right timing.
This doesn't matter to TNDM's prospects and I wouldn't expect it to affect pps next week. (After hours was 300 shares.) If anything, it gets the question out of the way and clears the way for a sale.
I really don't think TNDM is a buy-out candidate. Their core business isn't useful to anyone strategically. Its not like tandem switching is a hot growth market cause TNDM basically already owns the entire market and as we've seen isn't really growing that fast. The only real reason to buy them out would be to get access to all their network and all the physical locations. Hard to anyone buying out the whole business just to get access to that. The most valuable part of the business is the tandem switching and nobody has a use for it other than as a stand alone profit center, there are no synergies out there. As for a buyout for getting in on the ground floor of the ethernet exchange, that idea still hasn't been proven to be anything yet. Nobody is generating any revs from it, let alone profit. Maybe once they actually start actually signing up people and get some revs in, and there is a little more clarity on where its headed someone will jump in with a buyout. We're still a long way off from that, prolly at least 6 months before we really know if it has a future, then prolly another 6-12 months before a bidder comes in.
Yes, the patent news is old news and not meaningful....... I'm more interested in the spike up just before the close..... appears someone had some excellent timing on a short sale.....

Whether they be the lame with thofe acluate the conduct of other gentlemen, I know not; but in my mind they cu-ieivc all consideration. 1 wifli to revive this law Sir, as a fhield for the liberty of ilie p'efs, and the freedom of opinion as a protection to mvfelf and to thole whom I have the happ'nefs and tfc-e honor to think ou public affairs, fhould -we at any future be'found by the imbecility or the mifLkes of any future administration in cuiin- try, to commence an oppofitiun againft it i not a factious, profligate and un- principled oppofuion, founded on ialfehocd and rnifreprcfeutarion, and catching at the pauiorrs and the pre- judices of the moment but a manly, dignified, candid and patriotic opnofiti- on, addreffed to the good i'enie and virtue of the nation, and rcfimg on the bafis of argument truth. Should that time evemrrive, as it may arrive though I earnefUy piay that it may nor, I to have this law which allows the truth to be given in evi- dence on indictments for libels I wifa to have this law as a fhield. When I am indicted rnyfelf, for calmly and candidly expofing the errors of govern- ment and jhe incapacity of thole who govern, I with to be enabled by this law, to go before a jury of my country, and fay that -what 1 have written is true. I to interpofe this between the freedom of difcuffion, and the overbearing; of that tyranni- cal fpirit, by which a certain political party ia this country is actuated that fpirit. which arrogating to itfelf to fpeak in the name of the people, like fanaticifm arrogating to itfcjf to fpe_tk in the name of God, s neither moderation, mercy nor jufiice rcgRids neither feeling, principle nor and fweeps down wirh relentlefs fuiy, all that dares its op- pofe its progrefs, or refifl its dominati- on. It is my knowledge of this fpirit, Sir, of its frantic cxceffcs, its unfeeling tyranny, and its intolerable revenge, that make me anxious to rail'e this one mound between fu'-y and public liberty; to put into the hands of free difcuffion, one fhield its darts. This fhield, I have Hide will, at length and perhaps very loon, be torn away; for the fpirit of which I fpeak, goaded by conlcious inferiority, jffimulated to roaclnefs, by the envy of fiiperior talents, reputa; ion and viituc, knows to brook no check upon iib rife, no cenfure upon its excefies but I will not fancTion my de.-.th by jny own voice. I will not yield one barrier to freedom. 2nd to the right of opinion, while I cm defend it. I re- gard this law as fuch a barrier fVebie perhaps, indeed, and incH'ec'tnal to check the progrefs uf that tyrannical fpirit which even now can fcatce jC- itrain its rage; but though feeble, vet dear to freedom, and never to he abandoned by freedom's And in order to keep up ihis hanicr to the laft, 1 fhall now, I may, for the continuation of tnat law, which mitigates the rigor of the common law in this rcfpeCt, and protects the liberty of the profs and of opinion, enabling that the truth may be given in evidence on indictments for l-.btls againfl the MR. CLAIBORNE SAID, that fpirit again ft which the geruienian 3aft up had fo loudly ex- claimed, and which he termed difaf- fcttion, was the fpirit at whole fhnre he had ever been tanoht to bow with reverence, and trufied nothing would ever be able to withdraw that high efteem. Ic is the voice of the a. voice terrible to thofe and thofe only, who are the authors and Cnpporters of and oppreffion. In ii> this the gentleman terms fana- but by whatever name the gcnt.eman choofes to call it, its power will neverihele's be unconquerable. It was this voice which liberated ihcfc {tarts from their former tranidtlamic fubjecrion, and will prevent chains being forged for our country, either by foreign or, ciomdtic tyrants. Having always oopofed. and being ever deter- mineci to oppole the bill'jn qnrftion, Mr. Claiborne thought it 'barely to expref.s ihat -determination. He fnould think it altogether unnecef- fary and improper to enter upon the couitUutionaJity of the qucltion, be- cauie ic had bsen 'fo ably and fully d iicu fled upon a former occafion, as riot to adimt of a new idea upon that point. Suffice it to lay he was firmly convinced that the law v.-3s unconfti'- tutional. But fo far as relates to the expediency, he rnuft be permitted to make a few remarks. it be remem- bered that eigjic years of the admini- ftiatiun of oUr prei'erit government palled over, and not an idea of the ne- ceffn y of a fedujon was ever hinted or felt. That truly great and valuable character wh'o was at the head of our government during thefe eight years would have dildained itsfupport. His character needed no fuch prop: if he had been attacked by the fhafrs of ca- lumny and detraction he would have oppoied it by integrity and virtue, and thofe barriers would ever have refvted trie force of the molt defigning. The conduct of tlie chief magiitraie of a free and independent nation will al- w.jys be expoled to investigation, and that inveUigation will fomerimes be attended with fome of calum- ny, how vin.ious and w wife foever the object of fcrutiny be. Bui how can a truly great charafter fuffer from weapons Io oiminutivc. The representatives of a nation thnt is free, and who will be free, ought Io pay confiderable to the wtll of the people. A genclernan wat furely rtv.f- laken when he laid, that hnt one or two fcar.es had evinced their avcrfion to this law. Mr. C. fa id ivs prefect recoilcclion brought to more Petitions had been uctived in ihe Huufe from the liatLS of New-York, Jci Icy, Pcnnfvl- vjp.sa, Virginia, Ktmuckv and Ten- neiu-e, thice of the Leu.fljr-.u-cs of which liad declared the law tmcunfti- tutional and injurious. And therefore it was an error when gentlemen ieduc- ed this great mafs of petitioners down to a icvy. JLnafmnch as he conceived this law an aft of meafurc that never could clecreafe the cucul-i- tion, but muft confidcrabiv increafc ii inafmuch as hc valued the privi- leges of the people and as he ronfi- upon every of the fuSject, tins law zs an abridgement of one of tiicir rnofb precious rights, he was de- termined to oppofe every avenue to its renewal. MR. GALLATIN, LIKE a gentleman who had before fpoken upon the fubjocl. little imagined the q-.iefbnn would have been brouohc tip fo ferioufiy as to came the warmth he had. heard. Pie fiinnofcd the report to sz a mere formal lubmifliyri of quclion to the Huufe as the fulfillment of their fuppr.fed duty. He would not enter into a view cf the conftitutional'ty of the qucfiion, lhat being; 10 fully underltood, fioni the exi en five difcuffion it underwent f from time to time, but Barely make a rernaiks on fell from feitlerr.au from South Carolina, (Mr. Ail who believed it to be unconstitutional, would in oft sffurecily vote agoinli: the report being received, but it did not fallow that gentlemen who th'ouoht differcnrly muft nccc'Xi- rily vote for it. He would not advert toihe manner in which th's law had been carried inroefFcft: if he were inclined to enter into a detail, he would rather merely advert to the cafes which had occurred under that law, and thus avoid any fuppofcd charge upon the adminiftratot s of ir. The law irlelf, he believed to contain evil qualities fufncient for animadvesfi- on, without extending fariher. Taking it upon the ground of expe- diency he really could perceive no weight whatever irr the arguments uf- cd in its recommendation, in any point ot view whatever; and as lo its be- coming a pennanent fyfrem, there wcte yet lefs arguments to fupport. For iuppofe the refolution fhotild be' aliogetljer rejected, the country would be in the fame fituation as it was before the law was parted. The government be fully as fecure in its reputa- tion as it was at that period. The government were never to be confider- td to he in danger during the nine years prior to> this law nothing lhat was {aid about ic tended to bring it into contempt for want of this law. He rrmftj therefore, conclude that ir was not neceilary to the fuppoit of the government, and he had never hcai d proof adduced of any ule the law had been in any inftanco whatever. Thofe believed no good effect had been produced, muft vote againfi the conti- nuance of it, as at leaft an ufcleis acl. Bcfides this he would fay that the circumftances under which this law was patted had altogether ceafed. He would call to the icc-jlleclion or" gentle- men who were members when the law paffed what were the motives urged in its favor what were the circum- ftances of the country at that period. There was then an apprehenfiun of danacr, and upon that alarm rhis bill brought in and fupporfed as a part of the fyftem of defence. Nor did it refb upon the opinion of that period, for it would be that a com- mittee was appointed to examine into propriety of confujering the peti- tions prcfented for the repeal of this b'll. 'J hat committee made a very lengthy report, in which the principal reafon urgtd why thought the aft ought not to be that the had not cealed, for being a meafure of defence, in preventing in- flammatory writings to fow difaffccli- on, and ncaccommodation being made, it would be proper to continue ir. This was thf fubftancc of arguments ufed laft ffflioa on a being made for us repeal why it fliould not then repealed. On this ground he had indulged a hope that gentlemen wruld have differed it ro die in filencc, and the more fo, because it hnd produc- ed, nor could produce nn pofiible good. What confiftency therefore there in the; arguments of gentlemen as a reafon for the continuance of the law, he would, leave them to 'pu'gc, for ic would be obferved that gentlemen did not all noiv pretend it to be neceflary as a Ivftem of defence. The rcafor; given wa? not to government from libeHous writings, but, on the contrary, the gen- tleman ,'Yom Soul '-Cjt.-olina Har- per j commended and fupporred its continuance as a limitation to the pow- eis of the government, or in other as a protection to himfelf from what he iuppoles thm be in tho powerof the goverrnenr. He fuppofcs that he might be induced to makelome rernaiks on the conduft of a future sd- miniftrition, and tin's iaw is to proret't him from what he denominates the verity of the common law. This idc a is built upon the (uppofuion that brrbre this pulled, we hn.l a comm m law. On the i'lbjca of the law, Galla- tin coiift-iied hirnfi-lf not vcrv well calculated to argue, but he Cwuld son- tend for V.'hatevcr migh't be the of fomr gL-ntlemen as ro its exific and its applicability to rhe crimes fpcc Mcd in this law, he would afk any ;ienrle- man to prove'wherein the pi aclioe our government had tecognized the principle. He would take upon hinil to fay that fmce the lirit of the government no procefs had been iffued, under vln's common law, for any libel agair.ft the government. Was not this, he afked, fufncient to the gentleman that he might reft fecure without the aid of this He furely can have nothing to fear. As t0 the commendation given to this law, as it is laid the truth may be given in evidence, the anfwer bad of- ten been that the law not only extended to facls bur to opinions; and that in relation to opinions, there could be no poifible criterion to judge of the truth or falfchood. To cvTnce the uncertainty ofdivifions formed on opi- nion, he menf ,ne the cafe of an argu- ment OH the flooding army. On Jna iide it was ro be a ftatiding army> ii men weie enliflet! for a teim of years by the government. On the other fide it was laid that nothing could con- Hmue a ftanr'ing army bur men euliff- for life into lervice. According lv> the different conilruclions, rhereforc of the thing, fo would it betaken; 'there can be no left or rule hv whvh to afccrUin tie Lruth of opinion: the different confbi uciions, perhaps, influ- enced by a party fpirit, will PiVc the dccifion. It was bccaufe he was afraid, in com- mon with the gentleman from Sourli Carolina, but his fear was from anorher lource; Mr. Galiatin afraid that our cm.rts and juries would have their judgments clouded by a party fpirit; he w.filed to encourage no prolecuti- ons whatever upon fuch equivocal grounds he feared rhe accefs of juf- tice would be rendered more beclouded arid inacccflible, and therefore lie would much rather the government fho.ild be expofed to remark', though fcverc, than to eflablifh a principle fo dangerous to the rights of the people. rl hough he acknowledged a difcuflion of tint, kind might produce fome dan- ger, yet he would rather fuffer rhat evil than to expofc the people to the mere opinions of a judge upon the pro- priety or impropriety of fadls, uncer- tain in their nature. Upon the whole he wifhed to avoid the irritation this law would moft pro- bably excite in the public mind. Whe- ther tl'e inifreprefentannn be more or lefs, (however, he could not flatter hirnfelf that the rnifreprclcutation, ia this enfirimed period of the public mind, would be lefs) lie could ice n.-> ufe in this law. It could be b'e to no deicription of pentlemen on 11 )or, nor could the lofs of it be unfa- vorable1, lie would therefore much rather leave it as it fcvind th va years ago? not in the ball apprchenfiyck.
