Many stables offer horseback riding rentals that can teach beginners how to ride horses and give intermediate riders the opportunity to master their skills. Some of the stables might even have ranches or camps that offer classes on different types of riding styles. Before you rent a horse or sign up for a ranch camp, you should learn a few key terms that will help you better understand the services that a stable offers.
Horseback riding is a fun activity for both adults and children alike. It can be enjoyed as a hobby through lessons, as a an equestrian sport, or rented on vacation. Depending on what type of activity you are looking for, horseback riding can be fun for anyone in your family.
If you or your child are interested in horseback riding lessons, look to find various ranches that have stables in your area. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or expert, there will be lessons and horses for your skill level. You will train to learn all the techniques to ride, including how to put a saddle on, how to pull on the reins, and how to ride properly. You can even learn to compete in either English or Western style tournaments.
However, if you or your child want a more relaxed approach to horseback riding, consider going to a summer camp that offers horse and pony lessons or a resort dude ranch for adult style fun. This can give you a fun opportunity to rent a horse while on vacation to enjoy the trails and the great outdoors. Many people like this style of vacation because it allows them to truly escape the hustle of everyday life.
If you are interested in pursing horseback riding lessons, go online to do some research about the topic.

Cranberry, Pistachio and White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
I just realized that there weren't that many days left before the holidays and that there was still a lot to do. Among the things to do was some holiday baking. While I was thinking about what I wanted to make this year my eyes kept wandering to a bar of white chocolate that I had picked up on sale a while ago and I kept thinking about my favorite cookies, the white chocolate and macadamia nut cookies . Inspiration hit and I decided to try a holiday version of the cookies where the macadamia nuts were replace with some green pistachios and I added some red cranberries for some holiday colours. I had also been wanting to try adding some rolled oats to a batch of cookies and it was the perfect time. These cookies took a bit longer to make as I had to shell the pistachios but other than that they took almost no time at all. The cranberry, pistachio and white chocolate oatmeal cookies turned out great! The were slightly crisp on the edges and nice and soft on the inside. They were just packed full of great flavours and textures from the crunchy nuts to the chewy cranberries to the creamy white chocolate. The rolled oats seems to disappear from the outside but you could still see them on the inside and they also added a nice chewy texture to the cookies. These cookies are going to disappear quickly!

Milton schools places principal on administrative leave
JANESVILLE—The Milton School District has placed a school principal on administrative leave pending an investigation into an encounter the principal had with a student with autism last month, authorities said.
A Janesville police incident report released Wednesday reveals Superintendent Tim Schigur put Harmony Elementary School Principal Jeanne Smith on leave directly after school staff reported to him they'd witnessed Smith "physically restraining" a boy with autism Feb. 18, apparently using her hands and feet, police said.
Lt. Keith Lawver of the Janesville police detective bureau said the incident happened inside a quiet "time-out room" at the school on Janesville's northeast side, while the student, a boy in the second grade, was having a "tantrum."
He said two school staff who'd placed the boy in the room as part of a procedure used to calm the boy's tantrum, witnessed Smith go in the room and restrain the boy using her hands and feet.
Some school district employees are trained to handle physical outbursts by students using prescribed physical restraint holds. It's not clear if Smith's actions were related to a restraint hold, but Lawver said staff who witnessed the incident weren't sure if Smith's actions were proper.
"I think in general, they just weren't sure if it was appropriate, and brought it to the (district) superintendent's attention," Lawver said.
He said police have finished their investigation of the incident, which was initially reported as a possible child abuse case. Police haven't released full details of the investigation, but he said Smith has not been arrested for any criminal wrongdoing.
"We've determined nothing criminal happened," Lawver said.
Schigur told The Gazette late Wednesday that Smith remains on administrative leave, but he would not say if she's being paid on leave. Prior to the Feb. 18 incident, Smith, a longtime district employee, had announced plans to retire at the end of the year.
Schigur said the district has had to wait until police ended their investigation to launch a district administrative investigation into the incident. He said he could not confirm statements released by police, but he said the district is working to learn facts of the incident before taking further action.
"Right now, it's ongoing. I can't comment much. We're doing due diligence, assessing the findings and how they relate based on district policies, protocols and procedures. We'll determine what needs to happen," Schigur said.
The student's father, Joshua Hooker, said his son is autistic and has frequent "meltdowns" at school. He said police haven't shared investigative details with him, but he said staff told him his son was having a tantrum in class Feb. 18.
"On this day, he was having a meltdown. He can be kind of violent and out of control when that happens," Hooker said.
Hooker, a town of Lima resident, said classroom aides had placed his son in the school's quiet room to calm him the day of the incident. He said the room has observation windows and gym mats padding the walls. His son apparently had begun to settle down when Smith entered the room and began to make physical contact with him, Hooker said staff told him.
"They were almost to the point he'd calmed him down enough to go back to class," Hooker said.
Hooker said his impression from staff was that "the principal then decided to step in and go in there, when it wasn't really needed. She decided to put her two cents in. She took it upon herself and proceeded to verbally and somewhat physically abuse him."
Hooker wouldn't elaborate on Smith's actions, saying he wanted to wait for the district to investigate.
Hooker said the school's special education staff has otherwise been "wonderful" with his son's needs this year, and he's made some gains in handling frustration in school. He said the district has been "cooperative" throughout the police investigation.
"The immediate staff has worked very had to work through these issues and get my son back on a more even kilter. He's having some major trust issues at school after this happened," Hooker said.

Richard (Rick) Hartung, Janesville, WI (1938-2013)
January 31, 1938 - October 30, 2013
Richard (Rick) Hartung was born on Jan. 31, 1938, to Maurice and Gertrude Hartung in Columbus, OH, moving shortly afterward with them to Flossmoor, IL, where he remained until his marriage to Ilah Bjorklund in Chicago, on Aug. 27, 1960. He died Oct. 30, 2013, after a long illness.
Richard attended the University of Chicago Laboratory School, Shimer College, and Yale University School of Architecture, graduating from the University of Chicago with a Bachelor's Degree in History. His interest in 19th century American history focused primarily on Midwestern expansion and industrialization. He researched and wrote a biography of James L. Jones, developer of a horse railway system in early Chicago. Rick specialized in 19th century architecture, but was also devoted to Frank Lloyd Wright and his contemporaries.
Through further research into 19th century vernacular buildings, he researched cobblestone houses, including those prominent in the Beloit area. He became director of the Rock County Historical Society in 1964, and supervised the relocation and restoration of the historic Stone House, now sited at the Tallman House campus. During his 25 year career as director, Rick was responsible for the development of the RCHS archival holdings of Rock County history; the concept of rotating exhibitions of collections; sponsoring visiting national museum exhibitions; and development of exhibitions on the significance of regional industries and agriculture. During his tenure, the RCHS opened its first museum of Rock County history in the Armory. Rick advocated for meaningful interpretive history that connected modern audiences to their historical counterparts. He also worked to expand community awareness in historic preservation and adaptive reuse. Historic preservation awareness resulted in grants to RCHS for an historic survey of all Rock County buildings, with the publication of Rock County Historic Sites and Buildings. This survey led directly to the designation of numerous buildings and districts within Rock County on the National Register of Historic Places.
Rick was also responsible for establishing collegial relationships amongst the local history and small museum groups; resource sharing and access to professional museum standards for maintenance of collections and archival materials. This collaboration was also significant to increased recognition in local cities, such as Janesville, Beloit and Evansville, as well as Rock County government. Under Rick's supervision, the RCHS was an early recipient of certification by the American Association of Museums for its professional curatorial and interpretive efforts.
Community involvement in local/regional history and our cultural assets was stimulated through public events to draw citizens to appreciation for its place in Wisconsin growth through the first major public art fair in the area, the Tallman Art Fair, now an annual event for the region. Rick had numerous interests that built collaboration throughout the fine arts organizations and non-profit communities. Several communities in Rock County now have Historic House Tours following the one started by Rick in Janesville. Rick was also presenter of much-in-demand slide shows and bus tours of history and architecture. He was named to the Rock County Hall of Fame in 2006, for his outstanding achievements in preservation.
Following his leaving RCHS, he became the Director of the Evanston Historical Society located in the Charles Gates Dawes House, vice president under Calvin Coolidge. Following his retirement, he ran a small business and consulted on private National Register nominations. He was also greatly involved in development of the adaptive reuse of his former college campus in Mt. Carroll, IL, into the Campbell Center for Historic Preservation Studies. In Wisconsin, he was on the committee to nominate Black Point in Lake Geneva, to the National Register, and to include it within the state list of historic places.
Richard had two sons, Daniel of Janesville, and Gregor (Roxan) of Union, MI; grandson, Alex; and is also survived by the grandchildren he and Ilah raised: Gregor, Jr. of Necedah, Marie and Kayla of Janesville; two great-grandchildren; nieces and nephew; cousin, Arlene Knudsen of Janesville; and cousin, Rev. Charles Ellinwood of Michigan. He was preceded in death by his brother and parents.
A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, Nov. 23, 2013, at 11 a.m. at FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, 54 S. Jackson St., Janesville. Memorials may be directed to the Rock County Historical Society; the Alzheimer's Support Center; ECHO; or the Friends of Oak Hill Chapel.

In my last article, I mentioned Cisco's recent quarterly survey, in which 80 percent of IT customers surveyed admitted that they felt comfortable with the security technology already in place. I'd like to start there again, but take the focus in another direction — the endpoint of the network.
Traditionally, the endpoint was a desktop computer, but today it can encompass anything from tablets to smartphones. In the case of the Target breach, it was the point-of-sale system. Protecting the endpoint has become a challenge as attacks have become more sophisticated. With nearly 52 million different viruses appearing monthly, it's impossible for antivirus software to combat security threats alone. Simply installing antivirus isn't enough anymore — if you have even installed it in the first place. A recent survey from antivirus maker Avast says that 34 percent of people don't have any antivirus installed on their smartphones. That's an alarming percentage, considering that people look to their phones and tablets for everyday sensitive tasks and have retired the use of a traditional PC. Although the device has changed, the risks have not gone away.
Getting back to the discussion on the business network, antivirus alone is not enough. A great reference as to what is needed to help protect endpoints is the Australian Signals Directorate Strategies to Mitigate Target Cyber Intrusions (ASD). The ASD is Australia's counterpart to and working partner with the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). The ASD publishes a regularly updated manual on the best practices for preventing cyber incidents. Following their top four strategies, by their estimates, would prevent 85 percent of the attacks they investigate. Their top four mitigation strategies are ranked in order of overall effectiveness and are as follows:
- Use application whitelisting to help prevent malicious software and unapproved programs from running
- Patch applications such as Java, PDF viewers, Flash, Web browsers and Microsoft Office
- Patch operating system vulnerabilities
- Restrict administrative privileges to operating systems and applications based on user duties
Looking at each strategy, you can see that solely having antivirus software installed doesn't make devices any more secure. Desktops require constant updates and maintenance to remain protected. This holds true with tablets and other devices. The final strategy, restricting administrative privileges, begins to address user capabilities regarding application installation. While many companies still allow end users to install whatever they please in an effort to reduce calls to their IT department, if there is an IT-focused department or individual, this affects both sides — and not always for the better. Just as users can install whatever applications they choose, they can also unintentionally install bad applications, namely covert malware. Moreover, people left to their own devices will install software and neglect updates or fail to secure their networks as previously mentioned. Unfortunately, all of the previous mitigation strategies can be undone in one swoop.
Organizations need to set the tone with their employees on what is expected of them when they access and utilize computer technology & data on their networks. Management must be perfectly clear on its expectations of employees regarding their behavior when accessing private data. This includes defining what their individual responsibility is for proper handling and reporting of suspicious behavior. Employees need to be educated and trained on what to do and how to do it.
Today, you can't leave anything to chance or assume that individuals will do the right thing. Employees may not be aware of what the right thing is — or worse, not know what the wrong thing looks like. Therefore, well-documented policies that are repeatedly enforced are vital. Other forms of awareness training are also needed as the ruses that trick people change almost daily. Nearly all of the major security incidents reported in 2013 were the result of human error or deception.
People are truly eager for information on how to be safer both at home and in the office. This is an opportune time for organizations to update their security policies and educate their employees on the risks and proper use of technology. Nobody wants to be the cause of a security incident that leads to company losses, but unfortunately every day someone becomes just that. Everyday employees can become sentries by reporting suspicious activities. The more people who are on the lookout for security, the better. Today's threats are not going away anytime soon, and in fact things will probably get worse before they get better.

Sheriff: Remains found in fire pit near Evansville home
TOWN OF PORTER—Rock County authorities found human remains in the backyard fire pit of a home near Evansville on Saturday as they investigated a tip that a Dane County woman might have died there, officials said.
While evidence points to someone trying to dispose of a body at the house on Highway 14 in the town of Porter, Sheriff Robert Spoden said, investigators have not yet found anything to indicate the death was a homicide.
Authorities questioned one of the home's residents and kept him in custody at the Rock County Jail on Saturday, according to a news release from the sheriff's office.
Deputies first went to the house in the 12000 block of West Highway 14 late Friday afternoon, according to the news release.
Fitchburg police told the sheriff's office that 18-year-old Aprina S. Paul, who was last seen Oct. 27, "may have died" at the town of Porter home, the sheriff's office said.
On the second day of their investigation, deputies and detectives, as well as investigators from the Rock County Coroner's Office, spent much of Saturday searching the home and its backyard.
Authorities recovered "forensic evidence" from a fire pit behind the one-story gray house, Spoden said.
A lab in Madison later confirmed the discovery of human remains, he said, which appear to have been burned.
Neighbors had seen a fire burning outside the house for "about a week," according to WISC-TV.
Spoden said authorities also found evidence that Paul had been at the home, which sits on a rural section of Highway 14 about 1� miles east of Evansville.
"We do believe there was a death here, and we do believe that the missing female was here," Spoden said. He stopped short of definitively saying Paul was the person who died there, however.
Despite the efforts to hide the body, Spoden said, authorities at this point are not investigating the death as a homicide.
"We are treating this as a death investigation," he said.
They haven't ruled homicide out, Spoden said, but also haven't come across any evidence that indicates a homicide.
Paul, whose Facebook page lists Madison as her current city, went missing the night of Oct. 27, according to a news release from Fitchburg police.
She was last seen leaving a Fitchburg home with "an unknown male" in a car, according to the release.
Investigators interviewed 29-year-old Nathan C. Middleton, who lives in the town of Porter house, the sheriff's office said. He was held at the jail for a probation violation, according to a release.
Asked how Paul knew Middleton, or how she was connected to the town of Porter home, Spoden declined to comment.
Middleton lived at the home with his fianc�e and young child, Spoden said.
On Saturday authorities kept much of the property taped off. They worked under canopies in the backyard, where green Menards buckets sat next to what looked like upturned earth and planks of wood topped with yellow evidence markers.
The sheriff's office planned to keep deputies on the scene overnight to keep it secure, Spoden said, then return for a third day of work at the site today.

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Do not take telmisartan if you are pregnant. If you become pregnant while you are taking telmisartan, stop taking telmisartan and call your doctor immediately. Telmisartan may cause death or serious injury to the fetus when taken in the last 6 months of pregnancy.
Telmisartan is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure. Telmisartan is also used to decrease the chance of heart attack, stroke, or death in people 55 years of age or older who are at high risk for cardiovascular disease. Telmisartan is in a class of medications called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. It works by blocking the action of certain natural substances that tighten the blood vessels, allowing the blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently.
Telmisartan comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day with or without food. To help you remember to take telmisartan, take it around the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take telmisartan exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Telmisartan tablets come in individual blister packs that can be opened by peeling back the paper layer from the foil and pushing the tablet through the foil. Do not open a blister pack until you are ready to swallow the tablet it contains.
Your doctor may start you on a low dose of telmisartan and gradually increase your dose.
Telmisartan controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. Your blood pressure may decrease during the first 2 weeks of your treatment, but it may take 4 weeks for you to notice the full benefit of telmisartan. Continue to take telmisartan even if you feel well. Do not stop taking telmisartan without talking to your doctor.
Ask your pharmacist or doctor for a copy of the manufacturer's information for the patient.
Telmisartan is also used sometimes to treat congestive heart failure (condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood to the rest of the body) and diabetic nephropathy (kidney disease in people with diabetes and high blood pressure). Talk to your doctor about the possible risks of using this medication for your condition.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before taking telmisartan,
Do not use salt substitutes containing potassium without talking to your doctor. If your doctor prescribes a low-salt or low-sodium diet, follow these directions carefully.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Telmisartan may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of these symptoms, or those listed in the SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS section, call your doctor immediately:
Telmisartan may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at Web Site] or by phone [1-800-332-1088].
Keep this medication in the blister pack it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Symptoms of overdose may include:
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your blood pressure should be checked regularly to determine your response to telmisartan.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

Longtime Walworth County Fair Board member Ed Sokolowski dies from heart attack
ELKHORN--Ed Sokolowski, a longtime Walworth County Fair contributor and supporter who helped lead the fair for nearly 30 years, died Sunday at age 72.
"He was one of the truly good guys," said Bob Handel, fair board vice president. "He was one of those people you couldn't help but like."
Sokolowski died at St. Luke's Medical Center in Milwaukee after a sudden heart attack. He had been active and in apparent good health, said Susan Pruessing, county fair manager.
Sokolowski's name goes hand-in-hand with the Walworth County Fair.
In 1957, he began a lifelong commitment to the county fair. That year, he became involved in 4-H and Future Farmers of American and started showing beef, dairy cows and hogs at the fair. In 1959, he won the Grand Champion Landrace Gilt.
In 1983, he was elected treasurer of the fair board and held the position until he was elected president in 2004.
He never missed a day of the fair over the past 30 years, Pruessing said.
"His heart was so dedicated to the fair, and he wanted to see it succeed, and everything he did was directed toward that," Handel said.
Sokolowski and his family moved to a dairy farm near East Troy shortly after his birth in 1941 in Chicago.
Sokolowski graduated with a business agriculture degree from UW-Platteville in 1969. He joined the Navy and completed a tour in Vietnam before he moved to Elkhorn with his wife, Judy, and started his finance career as a loan officer for Production Credit Association.
Those who knew Sokolowski described him as a kind, passionate man who never sat still.
He worked as a bailiff at the Walworth County Judicial Center and was a charter member of the Elkhorn Rotary Club and a 10-year member of the Wisconsin State Association of Fairs.
In 1994, Sokolowski received the Outstanding Fair Person Award from the Wisconsin Association of Fairs, and in 2006, he was inducted into the Wisconsin Association of Fairs Hall of Fame.
"He was always a very civic-minded person," Pruessing said. "He loved the fair. He loved having the people come and enjoy the fair, and he loved little kids, which was very evident with his interaction with his grandchildren"
The county fair wasn't Sokolowski's only passion.
He enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, and he loved to sock hop and tell jokes.
The funniest part of Sokolowski's jokes weren't always the jokes themselves. Instead, he was known for goofing up the punch lines.
"It was always a humorous trade," Handel said with a chuckle.
Handel remembers a joke that he and some friends played on Sokolowski at a Wisconsin Association of Fairs meeting years ago.
"He would start meetings and say, 'OK, turn your cell phone off,' and somebody from the group, me, called his cell phone right as he was saying this, and he said, 'Yeah, I'll turn it off. Thanks for the call,'" Handel remembered.
Jan. 1 was going to be Sokolowski's final day on the fair board. He planned to spend more time with his family, Handel said.
Sokolowski is survived by his wife, Judy; two daughters, Stacey Malvitz and Amy Mullikin; and five grandchildren.
Services will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at St. Patrick's Catholic Church, 107 W. Walworth St., Elkhorn. Visitation will be from 3 until 8 p.m. Friday at Haase-Lockwood and Associates Funeral Home, 730 N. Wisconsin St., Elkhorn.

Former MF Global Holdings Ltd. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jon S. Corzine's risky business strategies and mismanagement helped accelerate the futures brokerage's demise, according to a report by bankruptcy trustee Louis Freeh.
The 124-page report blames Corzine and his management team for bungling an expansion of the company's traditional business model while ignoring deficiencies in its risk controls. Corzine's "aggressive trading strategy" that invested heavily in European sovereign debt produced no significant revenues, and he and Chief Financial Officer Henri Steenkamp knew that the company's controls were flawed as early as May 2010, according to the filing today in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan.
Capital and liquidity assumption "were fatally flawed, even though Corzine and other members of his management team knew about their deficiencies many months before they were stretched to their limits" in October 2011, lawyers for Freeh said in the report.
The parent company of brokerage MF Global Inc. filed for bankruptcy on Oct. 31, 2011, after a wrong-way $6.3 billion trade on its own behalf on bonds of some of Europe's most-indebted nations. The company, once run by former Democratic New Jersey Governor and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Co-Chairman Corzine, listed assets of $41 billion and debts of $39.7 billion.
When Corzine joined MF Global in March 2010, the company was already struggling. Corzine moved to diversify the company away from traditional investment of client funds and make it a broker dealer and full-scale investment bank. By September 2010, he had begun asking the board to increase the company's risk limits to invest in more European sovereign debt. He increased MF Global's position from $400 million to $8.3 billion between mid-September 2010 and the end of August 2011, according to the report.
In the week leading up to its collapse, MF Global needed to rely on its Operations, Risk, and Treasury Department systems, which were fatally flawed, Freeh found. The failure of Corzine and other members of his management team, including Chief Operating Officer Bradley Abelow and Steenkamp, to address the deficiencies contributed to the company's demise, Freeh found.
"In the end, the scale of the company's trading put pressure on the company's deficient controls without producing any significantly improved revenues," Freeh said in the report.
Freeh estimates the losses to MF Global and its finance subsidiary from $1.5 billion to $2.1 billion. The trustee for the company's operating brokerage, MF Global Inc., estimated a shortfall of $1.6 billion in customer funds, and has been distributing payments to former customers in a wind-down proceeding that is separate from the Chapter 11 liquidation of the parent company.
Freeh's findings come five months after U.S. House Republicans also faulted Corzine's leadership in a report released in November. That report, reached by majority Republicans on a Financial Services subcommittee, described a lack of coordination between the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and Securities and Exchange Commission, primary regulators for MF Global's U.S. operations.
The SEC didn't include the CFTC in several meetings in 2011 about the brokerage's capital and business strategy that would have been helpful for oversight, according to the Republicans' report. The CFTC didn't inform the SEC that the broker was using an alternative method of calculating customer funds. Freeh's report didn't focus on the shortfall as it is outside the scope of his authority, lawyers for the trustee said in the court filing.
MF Global Holdings is scheduled to seek court approval of its final plan to liquidate tomorrow, which will pave the way for the eighth-largest bankruptcy in U.S. history to wind down under court protection. The plan is supported by Freeh and will repay creditors through income from potential lawsuits.
The holding company's Chapter 11 case is In re MF Global Holdings Ltd., 11-bk-15059, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan). The liquidation of the broker is In re MF Global Inc., 11-bk-02790, in the same court.

When President Barack Obama gave federal workers a 1 percent pay raise at the start of the year, employees at the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) assumed they'd get the boost. They didn't.
In a brief e-mail last week, the CFTC said the cost-of-living increase wouldn't kick in until August paychecks. While the agency provided no explanation, employees chalked it up to budget woes that forced the derivatives regulator last week to quietly obtain an emergency infusion of funds just to keep its doors open, according to four people familiar with the situation.
The escalating budget crisis has spurred unrest within the 700-person agency and hampered its work, the people said. More than a dozen senior employees, many complaining of low pay, have quit for jobs on Wall Street or at law firms. Others at the CFTC's Washington headquarters have discussed joining a labor union, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the friction isn't public.
Once little-known, the CFTC gained new powers under the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act to oversee swaps, the financial products that helped fuel the 2008 credit crisis. Continued staff defections and plummeting morale will leave the agency, with a budget of roughly $200 million, outgunned as it polices the $693 trillion worth of derivatives traded by firms like Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co, current and former regulators said.
"The agency is underfunded and needs significantly more resources," said Fred Hatfield, a former Democratic CFTC commissioner who is now at Patomak Global Partners, a Washington financial services consulting firm.
CFTC spokesman Steven Adamske declined to comment.
Recently departed CFTC chief Gary Gensler spent his five-year tenure battling Wall Street over the new swaps oversight enshrined in Dodd-Frank. His expected replacement, Treasury Department official Timothy Massad, has yet to be confirmed by the Senate.
Gensler, who stepped down as chairman at the beginning of this year, struggled to convince lawmakers concerned about the federal deficit or opposed to stiffer regulation that more money was needed. Unlike most of the other financial regulators, which are funded with industry fees, the CFTC relies on Congress to provide its budget.
In an interview shortly before his exit, Gensler said the lack of money had crimped the agency's work and led CFTC enforcement lawyers to shelve cases.
"We don't have the staff to oversee the markets," Gensler told Bloomberg TV on Dec. 30. "Do you want an underfunded regulator where something inevitably might blow up?"
$100 Million Less
After automatic budget cuts kicked in last year, the agency was left with $195 million—more than $100 million less than the Obama administration requested.
Last week, in an unpublicized incident, cash was so short that the CFTC had to arrange a special deal for additional funds from the Treasury just to stay open, according to three of the people.
House and Senate lawmakers released a government-wide spending plan this week that included a small CFTC budget boost to $215 million. By contrast, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which has more than 4,000 employees, was given a $1.35 billion budget.
The CFTC appropriation "won't cut it," Commissioner Bart Chilton, a Democrat who has pressed for a higher budget, said in an interview. "Our employees need more than a government ID and the belief they are doing worthy work."
Morale Low
The CFTC's budget pressures come as agency morale is already low after a three-year slog to complete more than 60 Dodd-Frank regulations. Gensler, an ex-Goldman Sachs partner, drove the CFTC staff hard to get the bulk of the rules done before his exit.
According to one report, the agency's workers are the most disgruntled they've been since 2005. The Partnership for Public Service, an organization that compiles survey data from federal employees, ranked the CFTC the sixth-worst place to work of 29 small agencies. CFTC employees gave the agency low marks for work-life balance, pay, training, and quality of leadership.
Some of that frustration was on display at a "town hall" meeting Gensler held several months ago, according to two people who attended. One senior lawyer grilled the chairman about why staff were subject to a pay freeze, pointing out that other financial regulators, such as the SEC and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., gave regular raises.
Under federal law the CFTC is part of a group of financial agencies allowed to pay more than the standard government scale to attract people with special skills. The CFTC is also required to have "pay parity" with the other regulators.
CFTC workers at the meeting complained that the agency had fallen behind its peers in both pay and benefits. One of the few benefits they received in recent years—reimbursement of about $400 for health-related activities, like gym membership or yoga classes—was canceled.
The complaints were confirmed by an internal agency memo issued in March 2013 detailing the previous year's pay and benefits. The CFTC's average salary of $143,659 was 7 percent less than the SEC average of $154,295. The CFTC's benefits, as a percentage of the agency's payroll, also lagged behind all other financial regulators, the memo said.
Brain Drain
The CFTC's leadership, aware of the potential for employee turmoil, commissioned an outside study in 2012 that warned of a coming "brain drain."
The report, obtained through a public records request, concluded that the CFTC's compensation was too low to attract the talent necessary to implement Dodd-Frank. In interviews with the consulting firms that conducted the study, senior officials said the CFTC promoted too many people from within who lacked experience as executives and managers.
The report recommended the CFTC find ways to hire staff from Wall Street or Chicago derivatives firms in order to bridge gaps in the agency's knowledge of the markets.
For the most part, movement has been in the opposite direction, as banks and law firms have poached senior staff members, offering salaries several times greater than what they earn at the CFTC.
Among more than a dozen departures in the last year were the agency's general counsel and two of his deputies; the head of enforcement; the director of a division overseeing trading and data platforms; and a handful of lawyers advising agency commissioners.
Union Talks
The union talks that started last year are still preliminary, the people said. Interest picked up after CFTC employees were told in October that they would be required to take as many as 14 days off with no pay. One option would be for CFTC staff to join the National Treasury Employees Union, which already represents workers at the SEC, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the FDIC.
One former regulator, Lynn Turner, said the situation at the CFTC reminds him of when he was chief accountant of the SEC in the late 1990s. Republican lawmakers were "starving" the agency's budget, he said, spurring unhappy employees to unionize while others fled to the private sector.
"That led to an inability to enforce the laws," said Turner. "And of course, that led us to the Enrons of the world, the large corporate scandals" that began a few years later.
With derivatives at the center of the collapse of companies like American International Group Inc., Turner said Congress ignores that history at its own peril.
"It would only seem wise to come up with a couple hundred million more dollars to fund the CFTC rather than have to go fund another multibillion dollar bailout of corporations like AIG," he said. "How stupid can you be?"

Treasurers who do business in Europe must be aware that the deadline for compliance with Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) regulations is fast approaching. What may be less obvious, however, is that the changes SEPA requires in a company's handling of credit transfers and direct debits present an excellent opportunity to improve processes throughout the accounts receivable (A/R) function. Some Eurozone businesses that handle a large number of transactions are leveraging SEPA compliance activities to achieve big boosts in efficiency.
One company taking this approach is Carphone Warehouse, Europe's largest mobile phone retailer, which has more than 2,000 stores and millions of mobile service subscribers. As part of its SEPA compliance activities, Carphone Warehouse has completely automated direct-debit management and streamlined much of the back-end processing of information going into and coming out of its core enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Treasury & Risk spoke with Kerry Lebel, senior director of product marketing for Automic, who helped the mobile phone retailer automate its payment-collection processes.
T&R: What challenges was Carphone Warehouse addressing when the company undertook its A/R automation project?
Kerry Lebel: Carphone Warehouse needed to consolidate payment information from each of their stores. They also needed to become SEPA compliant. The way SEPA requires payment files to be formatted is completely different from the formatting companies are currently using with local payment systems in individual Eurozone countries. And Carphone Warehouse needed to start collecting and storing IBAN [International Bank Account Number] data. They saw that they needed to centralize and standardize the processing of payment data across all their stores throughout Europe.
A lot of companies are dealing with similar issues. Not only do they need to figure out a new way of doing things to meet SEPA requirements, but while they're moving toward that new way of doing things, they're going to have to simultaneously manage both the old systems and the new systems. The transition period is going to create a significant amount of overhead. Centralizing data management and utilizing automation on the back end are good ways of handling this additional load, as well as streamlining SEPA compliance.
T&R: So, what types of information are Eurozone companies centralizing?
KL: For retailers, sales and inventory information are obvious choices. And for companies that do a significant amount of billing, it makes sense to pull all the information around SEPA direct debits [SDDs] into a central repository, including IBAN numbers and mandates.
T&R: What benefits do companies realize when they consolidate these types of information in a central data warehouse?
KL: Companies can usually achieve efficiencies by automating processes they've been handling manually. When they standardize the processing of direct debits, then they have only one way to handle SDDs companywide, in all the different countries where they operate. They can automate all kinds of checks and balances, which reduces the amount of human intervention that's required in exception processing. Another big benefit, which is related, is that companies can enter new markets much more easily. They can move into new countries faster because they have consistent, repeatable processes.
For example, Carphone Warehouse can now move very quickly into new markets anywhere in the Eurozone; anytime they want to open a location in a new market, they just replicate their standardized process. And the automated handling of exceptions has enabled Carphone Warehouse to reduce direct debit failures by more than 90 percent.
T&R: Are companies also improving their decision-making by consolidating data on direct debits?
KL: Yes, some companies are using this type of project to improve their liquidity management capabilities. For example, some retailers are better able to understand their payment collection processes once they consolidate sales and direct debit information. They are pulling together data on their cash flows and developing visual reporting for it. By automating these reports and pulling them together in real time—versus running reports at the end of the day, end of the week, or even end of the month in large batch transactions—they get insights into what is really happening with their cash flow. And having this information tied together centrally makes it significantly easier to throw these reports onto somebody's desk on a daily basis.
T&R: Are a lot of companies automating payments processing in this way?
KL: Most of the companies that we see doing this have strong subscription-based models. They're companies that are dealing with a large volume of scheduled, recurrent payments. Mobile telecoms and power and utility companies are the ones that I've seen putting serious effort into this type of project.
T&R: What is motivating these particular companies to take their A/R processes this extra step beyond SEPA compliance?
KL: They're looking at it from a completely different perspective. Some people look at SEPA from the point of view of all the additional work they have to do in order to be compliant, or possibly even just to feign compliance. But others, like Carphone Warehouse, look at it from the perspective of the things that they can gain by improving their business processes. They see SEPA as a forcing function that will ultimately help them grow their business faster.
T&R: After working on the automation of direct debits for Carphone Warehouse, and on other, similar projects, what advice do you have for U.S.-based companies that are trying to figure out the best approach to take to SEPA compliance?
KL: Stay focused on the benefits, not the work. It's a situation of 'pay me now, or pay me later.' If you don't have a heavy investment in the Eurozone, you may be able to take a more piecemeal approach to SEPA compliance. But for most companies, there are major benefits of tackling and addressing these issues right away. If they do, then as they grow in the future, they can simplify the process of moving into new markets—and they can reap the rewards much faster.
