The fifth of eight children born to Manual and Mary Cravalho was a key player in a political revolution 60 years ago. Small in stature but large in shrewd intellect, Elmer F. Cravalho - he never used his middle name, Franklin - went from a hardscrabble childhood to a financial success that allowed him to legally adopt five children and support the education of 45 others in the Philippines.
The 1954 revolution by union-backed Democrats wrenched political power in Hawaii from the plantation-dominated Republicans. In an hourslong interview in 1987, Cravalho said the overthrow took guts since being aligned with the unions was considered tantamount to joining the Communist Party.
Nothing could be further from the facts. He was a capitalist, through and through - a capitalist with a desire to help his fellow Mauians.
Cravalho's political career is well-known by Maui old-timers - territorial legislator, speaker of the House and mayor of Maui County. He was one of the architects of Maui's early tourism policy: Cater to those who can afford to spend and protect local life to keep from ruining what attracted tourists. His financial acumen is less known.
His father was an elementary school teacher who became a principal. His son said for many years the maximum pay was $150 a month for a teacher and $300 a month for a principal. The large Cravalho family had to make do. "We didn't have any money," he said.
Manual Cravalho did manage to pick up small parcels of land, including the Waiakoa property I call home. Maui's economy was at rock bottom and father Cravalho bought low-priced property on installments. Cash was in short supply on the island. Manual Cravalho later lost all of his holdings.
Those early years of having little or no money in the house shaped Elmer F. Cravalho's ideas about spending. "I have a reputation for being tight. When you don't have much they call you a tight bastard and then after a certain point, you become a fiscal conservative." He told that as a joke, but it has more than a kernel of truth.
Although intent on becoming a farmer, Elmer F. Cravalho found himself a teacher in Haiku, Paia and Kula. Spending $250 and three months campaigning for his first term in the Legislature and getting elected meant he couldn't commit to a year of teaching. He went to work as a $50-a-month janitor at Kula Gym and began building his personal assets by buying a hapai cow for $100 from Joe Medeiros. At the time, Cravalho didn't have $100.
"Joe told me 'you pay me bumbye when the calf comes.' " That sort of trust was a hallmark of Cravalho's policies when he and six others raised $35 to start the Kula Credit Union, which eventually occupied a custom Waiakoa office now used as a veterinary clinic. The KCU had assets of $40 million and a collection rate of 98.6 percent when it merged with Maui Federal Credit Union earlier this year. A big part of the KCU success was due to Cravalho's willingness to loan money on the basis of character.
At one point, auditors went over the books and complained about him loaning money to individuals with little or no collateral. Cravalho simply pointed at the low, low default rate. He knew the borrowers and was confident they would repay the loans. They nearly always did.
Later, Cravalho became office manager for Maui Dry Goods, the parent company of a number of Maui businesses, including a car dealership. He said he made "a couple of bucks" on investments and started a piggery in Puunene. At one point, he had 1,500 pigs in addition to his cattle. A decade after being mayor, his yearly income was "in the six figures."
As mayor, Cravalho was notorious for showing up for work at 6 a.m. to go through the county's spreadsheets, looking for unnecessary expenses and ways of increasing revenue without hiking taxes.
His public life began because of severe drought in 1946. He became a leader of the Kula Independent Ranchers, helping to find range and water for stock. It was also his introduction to negotiating with government bureaucracies during the course of getting permits for government grazing land.
During that wide-ranging interview in 1987, Cravalho said he'd like his epitaph to read "he was one of us."
With the merger this year of the Kula Credit Union and the Maui Federal Credit Union, Elmer F. Cravalho finally retired at age 84. He'd run the KCU without pay for more than 20 years. A capitalist? Yes. With a social conscience? Most definitely.

For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
As I was on the red carpet doing interviews, I spot one of my favorite people. Big Sean! I call him one of my favorite people for a few reasons, one being that he takes the time to talk to everyone and two, he's a great artist and I'm a huge fan. So it was no surprise that I was excited to get to interview him on the BET Hip Hop Awards red carpet. Only problem though, not even 1 minute into our interview Maino interrupts.
From the video it looks as if Maino was copping pleas and trying to squash something. In true MAINO fashion, anytime is a good time to be EXTRA and my interview was no exception. You can hear Maino talking bringing up a past incident and how people were in his hear blowing things up. Apparently, this could be what they were blowing up:
At the 7-minute mark Maino says (and I quote) "What I look like beefing with Drake, Wiz Khalifa and LIL Sean" during a studio session a couple months back. I suppose the BET Hip Hop Awards was the first place the two had seen each other since then. Of course, BallerAlert.com caught it ALL!
Views: 3486
WTF Really Maino is a punk every since he tried to size up that white dude on that mtv show he's been a questionable b**** in my book!
Girl you better then me I would of kept going with some questions but talking louder. I would of been rolling my eyes huffin and puffin that was extremely rude! He could have at least excused himself properly :rolls eyes: lol
I don't kno ya'll to me Maino's body language was sayin alot. He was all up in Big Sean's space in the middle of interview all willy nilly like..smh. Something should be said to the space invader.
^^^ yes mam and Maino showed all the way out..he's a fool~lol.

To El Hub when he insists that there's an upper limit on the number of liners I could possibly need on a trip, I say, "Pish-tosh!"
"We're only gonna be two days!" he says. "Why would you need 10 liners?"
My response: to pack 20 eyeliners! And then to painstakingly describe every single one in great detail, and how my happiness — no, my very survival! — depends on having all of them with me. 🙂
Hey, you just never know when you'll get the urge to do a two-color double-winged flick? YOU NEVER KNOW!
This is why I find LORAC's new $28 Ready, Set, Splash kit appealing…
That, and the quick-drying, waterproof formula.
The set's four twist-up pencils come in colors that work well with most of my favorite summer eye looks.
Ultra Black, Navy, Charcoal and Jade will take you from poolside to dinner party in the blink of a cat eye, and when I want a smudgy vibe, I can just flip one over, and use the sponge tip on the back side.

Upgrade upsets Bristol couple

NMC, you're right. He is old but he also has a fairly good sized family who I am sure would come make repairs he could not handle himself.
And I suppose if you have to hire people to come in and build the apartments it may cost $100,000 but if you're handy as most country folk are, you can do the bulk of the work yourself and if I remember correctly, that big family Giesy has contains a number of blue collar hard workers who could bust out a barn dwelling in no time. Electrical, plumbing, drywall and all.
Don't be stereotyping NMC. That's just not nice!

I would'nt want to live anywhere this cheapskate has for rent. Usually a landlord this old snoops, tries to tell folks how to live, and is always knee deep in who visits your apartment.
This fool does'nt belong in the rental business because you can't make decent apartments up to code out of barns without spending less than $100,000 and he seems too old to promptly make repairs.

Let me see if I understand this. 3 mounds, 100 foot long, 30 wide, 5 high each. So, if next to each other, that is 100 long, 90 foot wide, 5 foot high. And that ruined thier farm? How big is this so called farm, half an acre or what? I own 50 acres, putting three of those mounds in my land would not really take away a lot.
Now, they got money for nothing to install this system. They get rent money from tenants. And they are worried about excercising cattle they do not have. Really??? Wow, that is serious stuff there.
They said they had no option. Yes sir you did. Kick your renters out and do not install the system. Forget your whole idea of apartments. I do not want to sound mean, but ignorance of the requirements for apartments should not be an excuse to be upset.

a few of us who care about how our government treats the citizens have been working hard to get the TCBH REMOVED. Trustee's vote on the board memebers. You should go to your Trustee meetings and tell them, when they vote on TCBH members,they need to get fresh thinkers and people who want the board to function properly. Tell them to consider John Hull.
We also support the Meadow's in their fight against the TCBH. The Meadow's were improperly charged by the Sherrif who was in cahouts with the TCBH AND the Prosecutor. Then the charges were DROPPED! More waste of taxpayer money not to mention the money the Meadow's have spent to defend themselves. They should be reimbursed. That $40,000 for the septic should have gone to the Meadow's. So Trumbull County. I think Obama trained here.

That stuff is suposed to be done before a building permit is issued. They do a lot of shady stuff here the Covelli center is the biggest so far they let them build that to hold 5 or 6000 people without parking . I know they have shady deals with some old parking garages. In any other state that I have worked in if you don't have enough parking you can't build it . I don't care if it is K mart or Walmart or anything else and for 28 million I would have thought they could have found a site with enough land but it probably wouldn't been owned by a relative . what is going to happen when the lease runs out down the road on these parking decks that proably would have been torn down but they are valuble now and you can bet the lease is going up

Old news for 8 plus years. That's at least how long the laws have been on the books. Mine cost me 25k$ and 300 a year to keep legal. More than what it would cost to use sewage. Didn't see anyone crying 8 years ago when it was in effect! Maybe if the trib has any real investigative reporters left and the editors have the balls to actually print articles against the county...

While there may be problems with the health department, I don't see how they did anything wrong in this scenario and these people will get no sympathy from me. The added apartments, so of course there will need to be septic upgrades. And these people got it done for free. Now they want to complain how it looks? I know there are people who are fighting the health department and want to highlight the abuses that occur there, but these people are not your poster children. These people should be thankful they got a grant and should be happy with what they got. They are 70 years old and right now aren't even using that land for their cows. They say they plan to in the future, but they are 70.

All this talk about expensive, mandatory spetic systems in our county and I still haven't seen any reports that our ground water is improving. Meanwhile my neighbors dump their crap in the same septic systems that were installed in the 70s/80s, putred smells of waste permeate from the ditches in the summer and no one at the Health Department cares. What a joke this countys government has become and the Ohio EPA - Useless!

Just another sign that Trumbull co. has truly turned into the arm pit of Ohio. Yes, these old folks should have checked things out, but what about all the years they've paid their property taxes? Do you mean to tell me the idiots at the Health dept. are just too busy to drive out to this farm and have a sit down with these folks? They just blew a quarter of a million dollars of our tax dollars chasing their tails and they can't make a visit and help clear things up? I'm glad I was raised better than the butt heads that are in the health dept. because if you treat people with respect, that's what you get back.

I doubt that the Kings or any other installer would do this work without first conversing with the landower as to what/where/how/size. This isn't the fault of the installer that was just doing their job. No I don't know the Kings. This is a situation of the landowner not doing or not understanding the research ahead of time. It also reflects the miserable mess the TC Health Dept is in. But if you live in Trumbull County how can you NOT know what is going on with septic systems prior to any addition or renovation. They would have needed building permits for the conversion. That would have been the start of the conversation.

Kittitas County Community Events Calendar
40th annual Yakima River Cleanup Scheduled for April 27
Poor air quality, caused by
central Washington wildfires last fall, delayed the annual Yakima River
Cleanup. The 40th annual event has now been rescheduled for April 27.
One of Central Washington University's longest community-involvement
efforts, the annual cleanup is sponsored by CWU's Center for
Leadership and Community Engagement. This year's change will be the
first in what will now become an annual spring event.
The change in dates is also allowing for new partnerships, including
with the City of Ellensburg, Kittitas County Solid Waste, Kittitas
Environmental Education Network, and Bureau of Land Management, which
will offer opportunities for trail maintenance and campsite renovation.
About 200 students and community members are expected to participate in
this year's cleanup. Volunteer check-in begins Saturday at 8:00 a.m.
on the Student Union and Recreation Center east patio. Participants will
be provided with a free "Breakfast of Champions" before heading out
to their cleanup locations. A free pizza lunch for volunteers will be
available upon their return.
In addition, this year's event is taking place in conjunction with
the Downtown Ellensburg Cleanup.

With 30 seconds left in a back-and-forth, defensive-minded, emotion-filled game, Eaton sophomore guard Bailey Jones stepped to the free throw line and calmly sank two free throws.
The first rattled in, but the second left no doubt.
That may have been the first moment that wasn't full of doubt during the see-saw matchup.
Jones made three free throws in the final 30 seconds, providing all the difference in the Reds' 34-31 win against Platte Valley in the finals of the Class 3A Patriot League girls basketball district tournament Friday at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion.
"It was a big boost of confidence for our whole team," Jones said of her clutch free throws. "It showed that we can do it. We believe in each other. ... We found a way to pull it off. That's what a good team can do."
With the win — Eaton's 10th in a row — the Reds (15-7) guarantee they'll host their regional tournament next week.
Platte Valley (13-9) will have to settle for the second seed out of the highly competitive district but could still garner a respectable seeding next week as it continues its resurgent season.
With momentum, league bragging rights and playoff implications on the line, neither team appeared willing to budge as the two squads traded leads more frequently than a kid trades baseball cards.
The Reds led after the first. The Broncos gained the advantage by halftime, and Eaton maintained a narrow advantage the rest of the way, after erasing a modest third-quarter deficit.
"I am so proud of their effort," Reds coach Todd Hernandez said of his players' perseverance. "They've shown that resiliency all year long, and I'm ecstatic. Whether it was a pretty game or ugly game, a rose is a rose."
After Platte Valley missed all 12 of its shots in the first quarter, falling behind 8-3; the Broncos reversed their fortunes in the second.
With 5-foot-3 Platte Valley junior guard Jazmin Montes serving as a pest all night long for Eaton ball-handlers — particularly in the first half — the Broncos' defense compensated for their struggles offensively.
Platte Valley held the Reds to just three second-quarter points on 0-of-5 shooting, forcing 11 Eaton turnovers, to lead 17-11 at halftime.
Montes had six of her game-high eight steals in the first half, and the Reds had 21 of their 28 giveaways before halftime.
Montes' mindset was clear. Knowing how well Eaton can execute in the half court, Montes said she was determined to provide as much of a nuisance as possible for Reds ball-handlers bringing the ball up the court.
"Every time I go into a game, I always tell myself to play my heart out, play like it's my last game and play for my team," Montes said. "I play the way I play on defense because of my team. They motivate me, and I just want to be there for them."
Eaton didn't buckle against the intense pressure brought forth by Montes and the rest of the Broncos' active defense.
After Platte Valley took a 23-17 lead when an Alex Zehnder steal led to a Terra Seyler layup with 3:40 left in the third, the Reds took control.
Jones attacked the hoop and was fouled by Montes, causing Montes to go to the bench with her third foul with 3:02 left in the third.
When Montes went to the bench, the Broncos had a six-point lead.
By the time she came back in, at the start of the fourth, Eaton had a 27-25 lead, taking all the late-game momentum with a 10-2 run.
Platte Valley coach Jim Elrick said it is no coincidence that the Reds' offense was more fluid after Montes went to the bench.
"I say this with respect to all the teams in our league: I think (Montes) is the best defender in our league," Elrick said. "You won't find a better person, and you won't find a much better basketball player than her. She is all about her team."
Even with Montes back on the court for much of the fourth — before fouling out with 30 seconds left — hard-nosed Eaton had no intention of leaving Butler-Hancock with runner-up honors.
The Broncos briefly regained the lead, 29-27, on Seyler's steal and layup with 5:45 left, but the Reds were having none of a potential late-game Platte Valley rally.
Eaton outscored the Broncos 7-2 the rest of the way, holding Platte Valley to 1-for-6 with five turnovers in the final 5 1/2 minutes.
"I couldn't be more proud of this bunch of girls," Hernandez said. "They've battled all year. To come from where we started the year (5-7), and to be able to get to this point; there are not a lot of people who thought that we would be here."
PVHS — Jesse Buttolph 0 0-0 0, Victoria Zehnder 3 4-7 10, Adrianna Rios 3 0-1 6, Kyra Mix 0 0-0 0, Jazmin Montes 2 2-5 6, Allee Beach 0 0-0 0, Terra Seyler 3 0-4 6, Alex Zehnder 1 1-2 3. Totals 12 7-19 31
EHS — Morgan Schumacher 0 0-0 0, Bailey Jones 2 5-9 9, Mary Brehon 4 0-1 9, Emily Willier 0 1-2 1, Morgan Karlberg 0 0-1 0, Sami Muse 0 0-0 0, Jayla Jarnagin 1 0-1 2, Bailey Schumacher 3 4-4 12, Kaci Jurgensmeier 0 1-2 1. Totals 10 11-18 34.
3-point field goals — PVHS 0; EHS 3 (B. Schumacher 2, Brehon).
Total fouls — PVHS 19 (Montes, Rios fouled out); EHS 18.

It's official: Eddie Murphy hosting the 84th Academy Awards
After leaking over the Labor Day weekend, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences formally announced Eddie Murphy has signed on as Oscar host for the 84th Academy Awards.
In a statement from the Academy, this year's co-producer Brett Ratner remarked, "Eddie is a comedic genius, one of the greatest and most influential live performers ever. With his love of movies, history of crafting unforgettable characters and his iconic performances – especially on stage – I know he will bring excitement, spontaneity and tremendous heart to the show Don and I want to produce in February."
Added the show's other co-producer DonMischer, "Eddie is a truly ground-breaking performer, whose amazingly diverse array of roles has won him a devoted audience of all ages. His quick wit and charisma will serve him very well as Oscar host."
"I am enormously honored to join the great list of past Academy Award hosts from Hope and Carson to Crystal, Martin and Goldberg, among others," said Murphy. "I'm looking forward to working with Brett and Don on creating a show that is enjoyable for both the fans at home and for the audience at the Kodak Theatre as we all come together to celebrate and recognize the great film contributions and collaborations from the past year."
Murphy will appear in Ratner's action comedy "Tower Heist" in November.
The notoriously press shy Murphy hosted the 1985 MTV Video Music Awards, but has never appeared to have any interest in the Oscar gig. In fact, Murphy's decision to leave the 79th Academy Awards after he was a surprising loser in the best supporting actor race during the first third of the show soured much of the goodwill he'd generated in his "Dreamgirls" turn. Murphy has not had much luck since with the bombs "Meet Dave" and "Imagine That." The incredibly long delayed "A Thousand Words" is finally being released on Jan. 12. "Heist," which also features Ben Stiller, Matthew Broderick and Casey Affleck is seen as another potential comeback for the former box office champ.
After throwing it out in public and some interest on Ratner's part, many thought audience favorite Billy Crystal would return to host one more time. It's been reported that Crystal would be offered a "marquee" moment during the broadcast, but we'll believe it when we see it.
While no one doubts that Murphy has the comedic chops to be an intriguing host and he's have many rooting for him to succeed, he's hardly known for being self-deprecating, topical or even chummy with his acting peers (usually a requirement or two or the job). If Murphy succeeds (no pressure Eddie), it could amount to one of the biggest comebacks in Hollywood history.
The 84th Academy Awards take place Sunday, Feb. 26 on ABC.

N.Y. Congressman: Iran Deal Makes Additional Sanctions 'More Likely'
Posted on Nov 24, 2013
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Sunday that he is "disappointed" with the nuclear deal made Saturday between Western nations and Iran, and he voiced his intention to enact further sanctions.
"I am disappointed by the terms of the agreement between Iran and the P5+1 nations because it does not seem proportional," Schumer said in a written statement. He added that the agreement does not sufficiently reduce the country's nuclear capabilities, a view that makes a push for more sanctions by the Senate likely in December.
Talking Points Memo reports:
Schumer is a member of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a lobby that favors the policies of the current Israeli leadership, including and especially its belligerent attitude toward Iran. The organization has "applauded" the sanctions that make life hell for many Iranians and that may be lifted as a result of the new deal.

Interview: Stanley Fink
Stanley Fink made a fortune in the City. Now he's David Cameron's chief fundraiser, playing a key role in the Conservative's bid for power. Not that there is anything Conservative about his Judaism
Lord Sugar hit the headlines earlier this year when he was appointed the government's enterprise tzar. But when it comes to political influence, the host of The Apprentice has been eclipsed by another hugely wealthy Jewish businessman. Stanley Fink, the multi-millionaire hedge fund manager, is emerging as a hot political commodity.
He has already bankrolled Boris Johnson's successful campaign to become London mayor. Now, as co-treasurer and chief fundraiser of the Conservative Party, he has himself donated more than £1m, and reportedly aims to raise a further £40 million as the Tories gear up for next year's general election — a victory would undoubtedly see Fink's importance to Tory leader David Cameron increase.
Not that these political ambitions have meant the tycoon has been distracted from his business activities. Fink, who turned 52 this week, is an increasingly powerful force in the City, where he is considered to be one of the finest brains in his field. And, perhaps surprisingly, given the image of the cut-throat world of hedge funds, he is also held to be a genuinely nice guy by those who have dealings with him.
A brain tumour in 2005 hastened his decision to step down from his position as chief executive of Man Group — the world's largest listed hedge fund with assets of more than $80 billion — to pursue his philanthropic interests, but he has since resurfaced as the chief executive of International Standard Asset Management (Isam) — a small hedge fund chaired by former Labour Party fundraiser Lord Levy. Fink is worth an estimated £70 million, according to The Sunday Times Rich List.
He continues to give away a third of his earnings to charities, many of them Jewish. Fink is an important communal benefactor but, while in his politics he stands right of the centre, when it comes to Judaism his beliefs are distinctly Liberal.
I have accepted that, as we live in multi-cultural Britain, one of my children might not marry someone Jewish
Speaking at Isam's offices in south-west London, the softly-spoken businessman explains how both he and his wife, Barbara, were born into Orthodox families but choose to follow different paths once they were married, both for practical and theological reasons, and for the sake of their three children.
"I have accepted that as we live in a multi-cultural Britain there was a chance that one of my children might not marry someone Jewish and it would probably be more comfortable for them in a non-Orthodox environment, where their partner could be more easily accepted," he says.
While acknowledging that his parents would have preferred him to remain Orthodox, he adds: "When we got married we lived in an area that wasn't really in walking distance of a synagogue and I didn't want to feel a hypocrite driving to an Orthodox synagogue on Shabbat and High Holy Days. And we didn't know a lot of people in the area so sitting apart from my wife wasn't something I looked forward to."
The couple spent time "shuling around", as he puts it, and tried out a Liberal shul. "We found it most welcoming and with the greatest sense of community," he recalls.
Now a longstanding member of a Liberal congregation in north-west London — he prefers not to reveal which one — he says he understands two thirds of an Orthodox service and 90 per cent of a Liberal one.
"You feel it is more of a service where you can participate; there's no talking, people listen and children sit there for an hour, an hour and a quarter." Besides, he says, he enjoys being one of the more religious people in a less religious synagogue.
Fink is extremely active in the community. He is chairman of the Council of Patrons of Liberal Judaism, honorary vice president of Liberal Judaism, chair of the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies, and recently became a member of the Jewish Leadership Council, together with fellow Tory treasurer and businessman Howard Leigh. "Being Jewish is part of what I am and it is an inheritance I am proud to pass on to my children," he says.
He reveals that one of the reasons he backed Boris Johnson for London mayor was his view that Johnson's rival, Ken Livingstone, was unfriendly to Jews.
"Even if I had not had any affiliation to the Tory party, I would have been a big supporter of Boris ahead of Ken," he says. "I felt that Boris was extremely good at bringing communities together and helping them to work together, whereas Ken would cynically exploit the differences between communities and in the case of Jews, took the view that pandering to the Muslim vote was more important than pandering to Jewish vote. Basically, he demonstrated that he wasn't a friend of Anglo-Jewry."
Much of his outlook on life — his politics and his philanthropy — he attributes to his experience as a young man growing up in a lower middle-class family in Manchester where his father ran a grocery shop.
"I have always been instinctively slightly right of centre," he says. "I saw the negative impact of trade unions first hand when I did a couple of student jobs." He was working in a paper factory in Bury and had developed a new method of generating more orders. After a couple of days he was taken aside by a trade union shop steward. "He told me that this was very unhelpful because he had people who weren't able to pick orders at quite the same rate and could I do it one at a time," recalls Fink. "I remember thinking that was a great shame because clearly my way was better for the company. I saw a negative side of trade unions. I understood it but I didn't accept it. I think that hardened my views."
He believes he inherited his philanthropic streak from his parents. "They were never rich but they always had the philosophy that if you were approached by somebody you knew or a cause you had a connection with it wasn't a question of 'yes' or 'no', but of 'how much?'" He says there is a responsibility on successful people to give. "If you are fortunate to be able to pay high-rate tax, then you can afford to give a bit more to charity. How much more is a matter for one's own conscience."
Today, he and his wife, Barbara — they met in their teens while working for a Jewish voluntary youth organisation in Manchester — are particularly interested in charities involved in children's welfare and the environment. "We tend to rarely say no but we tend to give less if it's not in our key themes," Fink says. He is the newly-appointed chair of children's charity ARK (Absolute Return for Kids) and has helped raise millions of pounds for the Evelina Children's Hospital Appeal Committee, attached to Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital.
The money that allows such generosity has been accumulated during Fink's steady rise through the financial world. After Manchester Grammar school and Cambridge University, where he gained a law degree, he landed his first job at the accountancy firm Arthur Andersen. Next up was Mars, Citibank and then Man Group in 1987, where he worked his way up, gaining the post of chief executive in 2000.
Known by colleagues as "the Godfather" of the hedge fund industry, he has left a legions of admirers in his wake — Philip Beresford, compiler of The Sunday Time Rich List, describes him as inspiring.
"He is one of the finest brains in the City, who is now striking out on a new career trying to mobilise the City to think of disadvantaged communities here and around the world. He is an inspiration to all those hedge-fund managers to think of something different in life. He is clearly thinking of the long term and sees wealth as something that should be used for the benefit of society."
According to Howard Leigh, fellow Tory treasurer and financier, Fink is a "super guy".
He enthuses: "He is an outstanding person for his commitment outside of business in the way he helps charities, not just by giving funds but also raising funds. He gives his time and he puts huge amounts of his own commitment into these charities he supports."
It was through a Jewish charity that Fink first met Lord Levy. They have long been acquaintances, but their current business association began only a year ago, while Fink was still on sabbatical from the City.
"Michael approached me because he was thinking of joining Isam, and I was able to say that I knew the principals and found them to be very decent people, so I gave him a positive reference," he explains.
"Michael's mix of skills were clearly more on the people side — he hadn't had management responsibilities in a financial services business in the recent past, and it turned out that they needed a general management role if they were going to grow successfully. At that point, Michael and the team asked me to join and I said yes."
The Isam way of working suits Fink's ambition to try a different way of doing business after Man. Isam places the emphasis on the judgement of the individual trader when it comes to investments, as opposed to relying on computer programmes such as used by Man's flagship AHL Diversified fund.
"It meant a lot to me that people believed that I had gone elsewhere and not just copied the formula," he says. "I've always taken pride that I have never been a plagiarist and so that was important to me."
It is almost 12 months into his new role and "things are going well in what has been an interesting year for our industry", he says.
Does he chat politics with Lord Levy? "We do talk politics. We have historically respected our differences. I understand his background and where he comes from and I think he understands mine. It's a bit like how I am friendly with Jews who are Orthodox and Jews who are Liberal. People always focus on the differences between people, forgetting that genetically we are probably 99 per cent similar and one per cent different.
"Michael and I have much more in common than we have differences — we have so many similar views on Judaism, philanthropy, family and Israel."
Fink, who used to make monthly trips to the Holy Land when he was a director of the Israeli confectionary company Elite, has strong views on Middle-East peace.
"I am a believer that a peace deal should be done but I am aware that in order to make peace, you have to have a partner to agree. I think that is the thing that many people in the non-Jewish press and media overlook. Whenever Israel has had a credible partner to make peace, it has found a way to do it, even if it has involved some compromises and unpopular decisions. The sad thing with Hamas is that it is not a credible partner for peace. But in areas where there has been a credible partner, such as Egypt and Jordan, Israel has always been prepared to make peace and I would always applaud that."
It is a typically thoughtful response — throughout the interview, Fink takes time when responding to questions, never rushing his answers.
He takes some time to reply when asked what would be top of a Tory government to-do list should the party win the election next year.
Pointing out that he is not involved with front-line politics, he continues: "I think, from speaking to Conservatives, the central thread coming through is people taking personal responsibility for their lives. There is certainly a desire that the state should be a bit smaller and people should be bit bigger and more grown up about their destinies. There is a feeling that big central solutions to things like education is probably wrong, and that sometimes smaller, more localised decisions and solutions are better."
Fink is chair of Ark, a charity which runs academy schools in London. It has a roll of 4,400 children. As someone so involved in education it is perhaps surprising that he admits he has "flip-flopped" over the issue of faith schools.
His initial preference for his own children was to send them to a Jewish primary and mainstream secondary. "I think it is important to learn about your own faith, and then learn that you live in a wider world, and to encounter relationships with people of different faiths before you go to university.
He says he is sceptical about some aspects of faith schools at secondary level. "I came to question people who claim to believe in faith secondaries but who really just want a slightly better education for their children without paying for it. I was always slightly sceptical about people who were passionate supporters of faith secondaries."
He was also worried about what was being taught in some faith secondaries, specifically whether they were failing to promote religious tolerance.
"But when I reflected on it, my final view was to look at society's ills as a whole — high pregnancy rates, crime — and to realise that if a faith school can impart discipline and morals to some people then, even discounting for the fact that some people don't share the experience of mixing with other religions, perhaps there is more good in having faith schools, irrespective of what faith they are teaching."
He points out that one of Ark's academy schools is nominally a Church of England school, has a majority of Muslim pupils, has a Catholic head teacher and a Jewish sponsor and chair of governors — himself. "I think that is actually really neat," he says.
What does he make of the JFS case? "The Court of Appeal judgment is complicated in that Jews need to decide whether we are a religion or a race and there are times where there seems to be confusion in the thinking."
A typical working week for Fink comprises 30-plus hours on "the day job" at Isam, one day a week on Tory Party matters and around 10-plus hours on philanthropy. He relaxes by skiing, playing golf, enjoying good dinner conversation and playing Sudoku.
Such a hectic schedule is perhaps remarkable for a man who, only four years ago, suffered a brain tumour. He was on a safari in Botswana with his wife and children when he was taken ill. Doctors discovered a benign tumour, which was successfully operated on.
The experience made him realise that life "is not a dress rehearsal", speeding up his decision to leave Man Group to take on more charitable work.
"At the time I think I underestimated how long it would take to recover my stamina," he says. "I got most things back within a year and assumed that that was about as good as I was going to heal, and at that point, my stamina was still quite limited. But I carried on getting better for three or more years. Maybe my decision to step down was based on inadequate information and if I wanted to, I probably could have carried on working. Although frankly, given the way the industry has evolved, maybe it was not a bad thing for me to step away from Man."
The hedge fund industry is facing turbulent times, what with the imminent 50 per cent tax on high earners, EU plans for stricter regulation, and having to deal with the public's perception that it helped cause the recession. But who does Fink feel was responsible for the banking collapse? Again, he takes time before answering.
"I think you have to look for blame in three or four tiers. In the medium-term, it was commercial banks which were competing with one another to lend at narrower and narrower credit spreads to parties of very poor credit worthiness or parties who were reasonably credit-worthy but deserved to pay a higher price to reflect the risk. So, it was a case of the banks not really pricing the risk properly.
"The longer-term battle probably began in the Clinton era in America where banks were forced to lend some of their assets to the sub-prime market as it was deemed that a large part of the US population was not being serviced by the banking community. And so, the banks were lending to people of poor credit history.
"You could say it was that original encouragement to lend unsuitable individuals large amounts of credit, and that it was the good intentions by the government which started the problem in terms of the sub-prime crisis.
"You could also say it was the credit agencies' fault for allowing tranches of bad debt. I think that when certain scenarios happened there was a bit of contagion and all the actuarial models fell apart."
He adds: "There had been before that a general under-pricing of risks in markets. Markets assumed that benign conditions would last forever."
Fink speaks from the perspective of someone intimately acquainted with the workings of the financial markets. It is the sort of knowledge that will prove to be invaluable should the Conservative Party win the 2010 election, when it looks as if the Manchester grocer's boy will find himself playing a powerful role in the running of the country's economy as it emerges from recession.

Can also be soaked & lightly sprouted, though that changes the experience when cooked. If I wanted a grain dish, I'd go for rice, quinoa or buckwheat. All are "ok" for me.

Emergency Assistance
You can only afford to pay ONE: Your daughter's lunch or the electric bill. What would you choose? Who would you turn to?
Unexpected emergencies can make it impossible to pay for basic needs, forcing a family to choose between paying routine bills like rent and utilities – or buying life's basic necessities, like food and life-saving medication.
What is an Emergency?
- Hospitalization after a car accident
- Job loss in a rough economy
- Victimized by crime and subsequent legal battle
- Assisting relatives
- Devastating diagnosis of disease
- Death of their loved one or caretaker
How We Help
Our program provides one-time assistance to families and individuals who can prove a state of emergency. Our assistance is often financial, but can also address needs for prescription assistance or other service referrals. Our average financial assistance payment is $379.
Catholic Charities offers a unique program of emergency assistance in each of our four regions. Click on any of the regions below to learn more: Denver Metro Area (Serving Adams, Arapahoe, Denver and Jefferson counties) Larimer County (Serving Ft. Collins and the surrounding region) Weld County (Serving Greeley and the surrounding region) Western Slope Region (Serving Eagle, Garfield and Pitkin counties).
Rental assistance is designated for apartments, condominiums, single family homes or mobile units and there must be a current lease (six month minimum and no month to month) in place with the landlord. Property ownership will be verified through the appropriate county assessor's office. Rental assistance is not used for the leasing of basements, attics, bedrooms or motels/hotels even if there is a lease in place with the landlord.

The reality-TV mom on TLC's 19 Kids and Counting was game when she heard what daughter Jessa wanted for her 18th birthday on Nov. 4.
"She wanted to jump out of a plane," says Michelle, 44. "And the last time everyone went, she was too young to go, and I was pregnant and couldn't go."
This time, she could. Last year, several of the older kids went skydiving with dad Jim Bob, 45, while Michelle and Jessa had to watch from the ground. So, last weekend, Michelle and Jessa took the leap together – each strapped to an experienced skydiver for tandem jumps. Michelle went 20 seconds before her daughter.
"It was one of the most amazing experiences," says Michelle. "You step through the door of the plane, and then your stomach falls. When the parachute comes out, it is so peaceful. We are out in the Ozarks, and it is autumn. It is beautiful. It was a wonderful mom-and-daughter moment."
Jim Bob offered support and encouragement, saying, "Michelle looks amazingly well. We are all doing wonderfully."
Up next for the busiest mother in Tontitown, Ark.? Putting on Thanksgiving dinner for the whole clan, including oldest son Josh and his wife Anna, both 22, who just announced they are expecting their second child – Jim Bob and Michelle's second grandchild – next summer.
The Duggar tradition is for each person to say one thing they are thankful for before eating. "We go around the table, from the youngest to the oldest, to say one thing," says Michelle. "You can't repeat what someone else has said they are thankful for, so it gets harder the longer it goes around."
"It's your meal ticket for dinner," says Jim Bob.
The Duggars will be featured in the upcoming special 19 Kids and Counting: GrandDuggar First Birthday on Sunday, Nov. 14, at 8 p.m. on TLC.

Here's an exercise to get the brain cells working on a Sunday morning:
Can you remember your first apartment? What was the monthly rent? (Feel free to share, please.)
Today's question was inspired by a trip to Carl Dranoff's new SouthStar Lofts building at Broad and South Streets.
Understand that I've spent the last 25 years writing about changes in the for-sale and rental markets, so there are relatively few surprises left. I've watched as ads for apartments started to include microwaves, washers and dryers, and dishwashers, as landlords sought to lure higher-end tenants to older buildings and duplexes.

Update: July 5, 8:40 p.m.
According to a tweet from Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski, Jose Calderon is set to sign a deal with the Dallas Mavericks.
According to a tweet from Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski, Dwight Howard is finalizing a deal with the Houston Rockets.
With Howard heading to the Rockets, the Calderon pairing in Dallas is highly unlikely unless a drastic change in Howard's plans. Howard has yet to release an official statement on the move to Houston.
Jose Calderon rumors of pairing up with Dwight Howard should benefit the Dallas Mavericks chances at landing the big man. Calderon and Howard are indeed interested in playing on the same team.
HOOPSWORLD's Alex Kennedy confirms their mutual interest on Twitter:
I'm told Dwight Howard and Jose Calderon are interested in playing together. Calderon may wait for Howard to make a decision before signing.— Alex Kennedy (@AlexKennedyNBA) July 5, 2013
From the first day of free agency, the Mavericks have shown interest in Calderon, a free-agent point guard from Spain.
The Mavs have long been intrigued by Calderon, who they discussed trading for last season. Calderon is also drawing interest from Detroit, Houston, Atlanta and New York among other teams.
Of the five teams that met with Howard, the Houston Rockets and Atlanta Hawks have been previously linked to Calderon before the meetings took place.
Ken Berger of CBS first mentioned the Rockets interest in the Spaniard on June 30 via Twitter:
Another possible landing spot for Jeremy Lin is Detroit, source says. Rockets would acquire Jose Calderon in sign-and-trade in such a deal.— Ken Berger (@KBergCBS) July 1, 2013
Keep in mind, this was before Howard's first meeting with Houston on July 1. After the Rockets released almost all the details about the meeting, nothing about the pairing of Calderon and Howard came up. Instead, Howard asked the Rockets to add a third max contract.
As for the Hawks bringing in Calderon?
Atlanta would be a major dark horse. They currently have three point guards in place for next year's team, including Jeff Teague, who averaged 14.9 points and 7.2 assists last seasons, and this year's 17th overall pick Dennis Schroeder. The only move the Hawks have made this offseason has been to re-sign Kyle Korver to a four-year, $24 million deal.
What about the Los Angeles Lakers?
Well, Steve Nash was alongside Kobe Bryant during the latter's recent pitch to Howard, which reportedly could be a "compete turnoff" to the big man. But the Howard saga notwithstanding, Calderon to Los Angeles with Nash doesn't make sense. And now, reports of the Lakers conceding to a sign-and-trade foreshadows a Howard departure.
Now, the Mavericks.
The information that has previously been stated in this article suggests that Calderon's landing spot would be in Dallas. Because NBA veterans might be willing to take less to join a team headlined by Nowitzki and Howard, a Calderon connection could easily be in play.
Confirmed by MacMahon, Calderon would have to be a mid-level exception:
@ianchisolm Calderon would have to be MLE— Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon) July 5, 2013
It seems likely for Calderon, who turns 32 in September, to sign for less and play with Howard in pursuit of a championship.
One last note to consider: Calderon and Howard were never mentioned in the same sentence until after Howard's July 2 meeting with the Mavericks.
What team will Dwight Howard go to?
Is it possible that Cuban discussed bringing in Calderon and convinced Howard that they would be a good fit during the meeting? Has Howard already made up his mind to deflect any sign-and-trade rumors you might hear?
If Calderon officially agrees to sign with the Mavericks before Howard's announcement, Mavs fans might be shooting off post-July 4 fireworks in celebration of Howard to Dallas. Until then, it should be a very interesting and possibly bumpy ride.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
ArQule and its partner Daiichi Sankyo have discontinued a Phase III trial evaluating the selective MET inhibitor tivantinib (ARQ 197) in patients with nonsquamous NSCLC, after an interim analysis by the Marquee study's independent data monitoring committee concluded it wouldn't meet its primary endpoint of improved overall survival. The 1,000 patient pivotal study was evaluating tivantinib in combination with erlotinib in previously treated patients with locally advanced or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC.
Data from the interim analysis showed that, while adding tivantinib to erlotinib therapy resulted in statistically significant improvements in progression-free survival in the intent-to-treat population, the benefits didn't extend to overall survival.
Cancer therapeutics firm ArQule and Daiichi Sankyo signed a global (excluding Japan and certain other Asian countries) license, co-development, and commercialization deal for tivantinib back in December 2008. The drug is being evaluated broadly as monotherapy and as part of combination therapy against a variety of cancers. The tivantinib clinical trial program currently includes non-small cell lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal cancer, and gastric cancer, as well as earlier stage, signal generation studies in multiple tumor types.
The ArQule clinical pipeline also includes ARQ 736, a pan-RAF kinase inhibitor undergoing Phase I evaluation, together with ARQ 621, a Phase II-ready inhibitor of the Eg5 kinesin motor protein, and ARQ 092, an AKT inhibitor currently in Phase I clinical studies.
ArQule's discovery engine is founded on a structure-based drug design technology, the ArQule Kinase Inhibitor Platform (AKIP™), which targets inactive forms of kinases that the firm says play key roles in cancer and other diseases. AKIP integrates in silico drug design with chemistry and assay development expertise to design and optimize non-ATP competitive inhibitors that interact with these kinase.

Complete, Concrete, Concise » Web Tools » Creating a MySQL Database using XAMPP
Creating a MySQL Database using XAMPP
This tutorial assumes that you have XAMPP 1.7.3 installed. The procedure should be the same for other versions of XAMPP.
A XAMPP installation procedure for Windows can be found here.
Click on images for full sized versions.
Many applications, such as Joomla! require an SQL database as part of their setup.
With XAMPP installed, this is easy to do.
1) Open your browser and enter http://localhost/phpmyadmin. This will bring you to the MySQL setup page:
2) Enter a name for the database, then click on the Create button. The name must be 64 characters or less and composed of letters, numbers and underscores. Avoid using numbers at the start of the name. A good name should indicate the purpose of the database. For example: joomla_database or database_for_drupal. There should be no need to change the other settings:
3) Ensure the database was successfully created:
This database can now be used by any application that requires a MySQL database – for example, Joomla!.
By default, the username for this database is root and the password is blank (there is none).

XAMPP, WordPress and Joomla install
My laptop has VISTA and the installation of XAMPP went smoothly. The apache webserver operates on port 80. My phpmyadmin allows me to create databases, and grant privileges. However, when I try installing wordpress it hangs on step 2 and joomla install is unable to connect to the database. I have attempted no less than 10 installs on each – all unsuccessful.
I installed XAMPP on my computer running Windows 7, and both wordpress and joomla installed succesfully on the first try.
im using xampp version 1.7.7. Is it complicated to use it?
can it work with microsoft access? or dreamweaver? which better for creating a database system?
how retrive xamp database to my html page
thanks for giving valuable guidence by this document

I was referencing a song...but now that you mention it that is a good idea. I just put up a new profile pic where I look all jacked and muscly so we can both fap to it together.
On a serious note, your level of obsession of mentioning the fact that I talk myself up is beyond asinine. When all I did, when I was trying to explain my hockey background, as I gasp.... THINK PLAYING HOCKEY AT A HIGH LEVEL WITH NHL BOUND PLAYER'S WOULD GIVE ME A BROADER UNDERSTANDING THEN THE AVERAGE KEYBOARD WARRIOR! OMFG HOW COULD I NOT SEE HOW THIS MAKES ME A CONCEITED ****** BAG!? My apologies oh great and Mighty Hossa4Life, how dare I insult you by pointing out trivial truths that I felt added to the discussion and established credibility as well as a viewpoint. I will surely take my narcissistic view of myself out of this forum forever, and return home to my awesomely rich and talented family (who I just so happened to mention a whopping 0 TIMES in any post). In short, is amazing to me your preconceived notion of me being a pompous ******, when with all the evidence (or lack thereof) is taken in context, most of it seems as a somewhat reasonable part of the discussion. But I must be off, I have some jerking off to do. Oh btw I like to consider myself extremely attractive and am proud of myself for being your intellectual superior as I am going to UofM next year, and I am a better hockey player than Crosby.
Edit: Since you seem to be extremely incapable of seeing sarcasm transmitted through text form, I really don't believe any of the last sentence to be true, but you're proving me right on the second one. I suggest you stop embarrassing yourself and quit pursuing this needless vendetta against my occasional anecdotes about playing with some players being discussed in threads. I for one feel like it adds to the conversation, and I'll admit it, it also is kinda nice to brag about one's accomplishments, but don'tf****** bulls*** me by acting like you are never guilty of the same thing. Trust me, to most, it is simply making you either look jealous, or like someone who likes getting power trips off of talking down to people in a hypocritical way on an internet forum. I really doubt that is your goal, but that is the image you are portraying to me, and several other posters who have already noted it. If you don't like my posts, don't reply to them or actually use something constructive to the actual discussion to replay them, as your personal disses really serve no purpose other than to just slander me on af****** online forum and detract from the original conversation.
All i have to say to this whole thing is thanks for the sig.

WARREN - U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan is hoping his encouragement will lead to labor talks between striking steelworkers and management at Phillips Manufacturing in Niles.
More than 40 striking steelworkers have been off the job for more than two months, but no negotiations have been held since they walked out in mid-September.
''We want Niles and other areas like it to be a place where businesses prosper because workers are giving their best effort and are paid accordingly. It's good for business and good for the community,'' Ryan, D-Niles, said in a letter he sent Wednesday to management at the Nebraska-based company and to officials at United Steelworkers.
''I hope you will reach an agreement to re-start meaningful negotiations in the immediate future, as it has been more than two months since you have come together to discuss your differences,'' Ryan said.
Ryan said he stands ready to assist in any way he can.
United Steelworkers Staff Representative Dennis Brubaker, who has been leading negotiations for the striking workers, said he is hopeful Ryan's involvement might help get some talks scheduled.
A message left seeking comment from Brad Garlock at Phillips was not immediately returned Wednesday. Previously he has declined to comment on negotiations but said the company remains positive and hopeful that an agreement can be reached.
Since the strike began, Phillips Manufacturing was charged criminally with two counts related to employing replacement workers, a crime under Niles ordinances.
A company official has pleaded not guilty, and the company is scheduled to stand trial Jan. 7 in Niles Municipal Court.
