The MF Global debacle rocked the futures industry and its full impact is yet to be felt. We talked to some industry veterans regarding the fallout of MF Global in the industry and its regulatory processes. Here is what they had to say.
Futures Magazine: How has the MF Global failure and the bankruptcy process impacted the futures industry?
Chris Hehmeyer: The biggest impact is that these problems have been like a baseball bat across the side of the head to the entire industry as to the risks of a [futures commission merchant (FCM)] bankruptcy. People understand these rules better [now] than anybody did in the industry previously. Unfortunately we had to learn all this the hard way. Many people in the industry didn't understand the laws around bankruptcies of FCMs. Because of our fantastic history with so few problems, the risks were underestimated. The risk of FCMs is greater than what had been understood previously. The biggest impact is that people now understand the risk better than before. The salesmen downplayed the risks because there had been so few instances of problems.
Fred Grede: It is difficult to quantitatively measure the impact on the futures industry from the MF Global fallout. How can you measure a loss of confidence in your business? Certainly industry volume is down over last year, but much of that decrease also can be attributable to market conditions. One of the measures I look at is funds held in segregation. According to [Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)] data, customer funds held in segregation are down about 10% over last year.
Subjectively, I believe the MF Global bankruptcy has had a huge impact on the industry. I have had countless calls from former traders and customers who want to understand the bankruptcy process, and of course, when they will get their money back.
More often than not, they don't like what I have to tell them. But I also have had calls from all over the world. As an example, I had a call from a Ukrainian agricultural cooperative that got stuck in the MF Global bankruptcy. They can't understand what happened and why they can't get their money back quickly.
As a result, they are looking for other venues in which to do business.
Customers can understand market volatility, and are willing to accept gains as well as losses from market movement. But they can't accept losses when someone else breaks the rules.
As far as the bankruptcy process is concerned, all of us in the futures industry have received a very rude awakening; that is, customer funds don't have the priority we all thought they did in the bankruptcy process.
Philip McBride Johnson: Unlike the later PFGBest episode, MF Global's loss of an estimated $1.6 billion in "segregated" customer funds may turn out to be an internal management goof. But that is hardly consoling because we fragile human beings are more likely to make mistakes than to deliberately raid other peoples' money. If a mature FCM like MF Global can mess up under stress, it could happen at any broker regardless of past successes. This is the message that futures customers have received and that the industry must somehow address.
We do not have the luxury of knowing that large futures customers like hedgers on the Fortune 500 list have nowhere else to go. Even under the Dodd-Frank Act, they are free to hedge using private swap agreements instead of exchange-traded and cleared futures contracts. Will they do so?
FM: What has been/will be the impact to the regulatory structure?
Hehmeyer: People have come to a realization as to how all this stuff works. There is good and bad to that. In some ways [the regulatory impact] remains to be seen. The things that need the most attention are the bankruptcy laws, particularly with regard to joint FCM/broker-dealers. It will take huge efforts to change something like bankruptcy laws surrounding a failed FCM. I can only hope that the impact on decision makers is great enough to cause action, because there are things that need to be changed.
The vast majority of seg funds are very, very safe. People are more focused on what the risks really are than in the past and that is a small silver lining. The issue of the customer money being unequivocally in front of any other creditors obviously needs to be clarified. The situation of two trustees arguing over whether the creditors are in front of the customers or not speaks for itself — it needs to be clarified. The whole idea is that the customer money goes to the customers first and then the creditors argue over what is left. That needs to be one of the issues addressed.
Grede: I doubt that we will see any impact on the regulatory structure, perhaps some new rules or some changes in procedures. But all of our regulators, the CFTC, [Securities and Exchange Commission], [National Futures Association] and designated self-regulatory organizations do a very good job.
I don't see a better system out there.
Johnson: On these pages within a few days after the MF Global revelation, I suggested a structural "fix" that would place all customer funds with a separate, CFTC-regulated central repository that conducts no other lines of business. Understandably, the industry looked for less dramatic changes such as heightened surveillance and enhanced auditing. The question is whether such measures — which leave customer funds at risk of future losses because of broker error (remember, MF Global collapsed over a long weekend and shortly after an audit by the CME Group) — will restore customer confidence and avoid a flight to other venues.
FM: What does the industry need to do to return customer trust to the process of segregated funds?
Hehmeyer: It needs to clarify the sanctity of customer segregated funds in the rules and regulations of the Commodity Exchange Act and (CEA) the bankruptcy laws. That is not easy but it really needs to happen.
Grede: I've been a big believer in the system of customer fund segregation throughout my career. But, I have unfortunately found that once we are beyond the parameters of CFTC jurisdiction, other rules and laws seem to interfere with the traditions of the futures industry. Customers are not as well protected in the bankruptcy process as they thought they were.
The time has come for the futures industry in the United States to create a customer protection fund. I know all the arguments against it as far as imposing additional costs on an already struggling industry. But the costs of not doing anything are far greater than the cost of restoring confidence in the futures business.
Johnson: The ultimate fallout from MF Global is yet to be seen. Maybe it will fade into a distant memory, an aberration that rarely occurs. Or, it could loom large, especially with corporations and pension funds where "fiduciary duty" will not allow the danger to be ignored. Absent a change in the custodianship of customer funds, we only can wait and worry.
Ron Filler: The recent MF Global bankruptcy has raised a number of regulatory issues that the industry as a whole, both domestically and globally, must address and resolve. One of the most fundamental protections underlying the CEA and related CFTC regulations involves customer assets. It is of critical importance that the global regulatory framework provide the greatest customer asset protections.
Chris Hehmeyer is a 35-year industry veteran who currently is serving as the non-executive chairman of the board of the National Futures Association.
Fred Grede currently is serving as bankruptcy trustee to Sentinel Management Group. Formerly, he was chief executive at the Hong Kong Exchange (HKEx) and executive vice president at the Chicago Board of Trade.
Philip McBride Johnson is a former chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (1981-1983) whose name is part of the 1981 Shad-Johnson Accord. After serving in government, Johnson practiced law with Skadden Arps, retiring in 2010.
Ron Filler is director, Center on Financial Services Law at New York Law School. Filler previously was the managing director in the Capital Markets Prime Services Division at Lehman Brothers. He has spoken at hundreds of industry conferences and seminars during his more than 30 years in the futures and derivatives legal fields and has taught several different courses as an adjunct professor of law.

What will it take to keep PJ2T on the air for another decade? The devil is in the details, of course. PJ2T is in its second decade of high-volume contesting, and the 25 members of the club now face the challenge of keeping up with the detailed, frustrating dirty work needed to sustain the station for another 10 years.
It's heady, fun stuff, running multiop rates that can exceed 1000 contacts per hour while gazing out at the 85 degree turquoise Caribbean Sea - especially when it's -10 degrees F in New England, and the snow is three feet deep in Buffalo. We've posted quite a few #1 world wins over the past decade, including a couple of new world records. You might be surprised to learn, though, that we owe our success not so much to big aluminum, proficient ops or a magical location as to being good at sanding, grinding, scraping, digging, painting, cleaning and filing. This article will give you a taste of what we've been up against in order to be able to deliver snappy "599 9" reports so many times and to so many stations - and what we'll need to keep doing it in the future.
The Beginning
When we bought the W1BIH/PJ9JT site in 2000 the initial concept was to start small and see what happened. Some radio assets already were on site: A 50 foot tilt-over aluminum tower, a tribander, miscellaneous parts and tools and a rather sorry-looking linear that turned out to be a real powerhouse. After a reasonable showing in the November 2000 CQ World Wide CW with three operators using wires and the low tribander, the bug bit hard, and we wanted more. By the following April we had marshalled an incredible pile of tower, antenna, and support parts in W8AV's barn in Ohio - some 5000 individual pieces in all, nearly all second-hand, begged and borrowed stuff - and we'd figured out how to put it on a boat and get it to the station.
The buildout that followed netted two Rohn 45 and 55 towers, more that a dozen hard line-fed Yagis and greatly expanded infrastructure inside the shack. Antenna improvements and refinements followed, including the incorporation of two superb Beverages inspired by W8UVZ, a wire beam for 80, a serious Ethernet guided by NWØL and lots more indoor equipment. As the antennas went higher, so did our scores. Our enthusiasm and energy were on the way up too, and PJ2T took on a life of its own. We had proven to ourselves that we could put on a high-profile operation on a decidedly low-profile shoestring budget, and we saw few limits to sustainability. PJ2T was here to stay, and the fun factor was unbelievable.
Problems Begin
Then, part of an antenna fell down and transceivers failed after only months on the island. Computers flaked out after turning brown inside from corrosion. Amplifiers literally exploded like clockwork. Silver towers became brown towers. Supposedly UV-safe plastic parts crumbled to dust, stainless steel got stained and some grades of aluminum literally dissolved into a wet, salty mush. While our computer mice dried, the furry type thrived in the kitchen cabinets. Insects took over. The toilets clogged, the septic tank overflowed, faucets sprang leaks, the island caretaker turned out not to be able to take care, vandals visited our off-site antennas and the easy long-term sustainability of PJ2T appeared in doubt.
The first aluminum rain consisted of the reflector and about five feet of boom from the Europe 15 meter monobander. It didn't take long to discover that the galvinized U-bolt attached to an overhead boom truss coupled with a liberal coating of salt and water and stressed mechanically by the incessant tropical easterly trade winds had resulted in a classic case of dissimilar metal corrosion. The U-bolt had literally eaten into the boom, and the wind did the rest. A quick inspection of the remaining antennas revealed scores of similar problems on all three towers, and panic began to set in. This was an emergency! Failing a quick fix, the whole suite of antennas soon would fall apart.

Cellar/Tasting Notes This is one of the best second wines of the Médoc. Connétable saw the light of day in the sixties. Over the years it has profited from all the care given to the vineyard and the increasingly severe selections. Like its elder, this is a classic, elegant wine, with a clear, well-designed..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Blackberry, chocolate, and cedar notes with light hints of spices. It's medium bodied but very tannic at this point. Medium long finish.
Cellar/Tasting Notes This wine has a deep color and seduced by mature bouquet, fruity and woody. Medium-bodied, it nevertheless reveals powerful, thick, very attractive. It is a wine with good aging potential. You can enjoy it with a roasted duckling or a sirloin grilled guinea fowl with morels.
Cellar/Tasting Notes For well over a decade, Morrell has been a fan of the Merlot based wine of Chateau Cadillac. From vines situated on a south facing slope of the Dordogne river in a district known as Fronsadais, the chateau produces a lovely cherried red, supple, fruit intensive and marvelously enjoyable when young.
Cellar/Tasting Notes The second wine of the renowned 2eme Cru Classe estate, Gruaud Larose, Sarget de Gruaud Larose shows all the hallmarks of the great St-Julien wine, but with a fruitiness that makes it more approachable when young. Showing fresh cherries and hints of spice on the nose, the palate is well-rounded,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Red fruit and autumnal aromas, mingled with vanilla and a touch of toast. Round and smooth on the palate, it displays a fine balance of flavor and structure. Mevushal.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Very enticing, with lush plum sauce, anise and boysenberry preserve notes that glide along, framed by toasted spice and carried by creamy structure. Very suave finish. Drink now through 2018. 583 cases made. –JM
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Blackberry and black licorice on the nose, with hints of fresh herbs. Full and silky, with a solid core of fruit and tannins. Goes on beautifully...91-94"

EDMONTON - The best way to learn about wine is to travel to the world's wine growing regions, spend time in the vineyards and taste under the guidance of the passionate men and women responsible for the wine's production.
Of course, relatively few people have the opportunity to experience this type of first-hand education. The next best scenario is when the winemakers come to you.
A couple of upcoming dinners will allow wine lovers to not only get up close and personal with some very talented winemakers from California and Argentina, but to enjoy their outstanding wines in the best possible setting … paired with delicious food.
Stags' Leap/Etude Winemakers' Dinner
Sorrentino's Downtown, 10162 100th St., is hosting a rare joint winemakers' dinner on Sunday, Feb. 24 at 6 p.m. featuring California winemakers Christophe Paubert of Stags' Leap Winery and Jon Priest of Etude. A dozen wines highlighting the diversity of Napa Valley and Carneros will be paired with a multi-course menu created by executive chef Jeff Jackson.
I am particularly looking forward to Jackson's duck liver risotto paired with a trio of Etude Pinot Noirs as well as the bison and morel mushroom tourtiere with Stags' Leap Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Sirah and Ne Cede Malis. Tickets: $135 per person, inclusive of tax and gratuity; reservations are required as space is limited. Call 780-424-7500.
Finca Decero Winemaker's Dinner
Although Finca Decero winemaker Marcos Fernandez makes an outstanding Malbec, the variety of other wines he produces are sure to convince you of the diversity and quality wines being grown in Argentina. At Bistecca Italian Steakhouse, 2345 111th St., executive chef Sonny Sung has created a meat-centric menu to pair with Fernandez's classy wines. The menu includes crispy beef short rib, veal agnolotti, Alberta bison carpaccio with shaved foie gras as well as Sung's take on an Argentine asado (mixed grill): lamb, beef, pork and duck with Decero's flagship Amano.
The evening will also feature the winery's Malbec, Syrah, Petit Verdot and the Alberta launch of the 2010 Remolinos Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. Dinner takes place March 3, at 6 p.m. Tickets: $125 per person, inclusive of tax and gratuity. Reservations required as space is limited. Call 780-439-7335.

Tami Taylor says Coach doesn't want to do it
Astrid Stawiarz/ Getty
So about that Friday Night Lights movie… Taylor Kitsch told me at TIFF that there's "no f-cking way" it's going to happen. Click here for a refresher. But we were at a party. Would it have been a different answer if the sun was up? Well… Connie Britton was on Watch What Happens Live this week and here's what she said when it came up: "You know, there's been a lot of talk about a lot of things. Full Story
Nicole Kidman & Jackie Chan
FameFlynet, Lam Yik Fei/ Getty
Random combination, right? But we've been following China's increasing influence in film. Two weeks ago, Kidman was in China at the Wanda Group's announcement of an $8.2 million film production studio along with Leonardo DiCaprio and several other high profile celebrities. Hollywood needs money. Full Story
Shirtless Gwyneth
AKM-GSI/ Splash
I say it all the time – I love the look of a woman without a shirt on underneath a suit. I LOVE IT. And I can't do it. You know why? We did a segment yesterday on The Social with Secrets From Your Sister, the bra specialists. They measured us for new bras because apparently no one actually knows their proper bra size. Full Story
Katie's new role, and it's not tap dancing
FameFlynet, Splash
Did you catch that in Tina Fey's monologue on Saturday Night Live? She was telling the new cast members that dancing for the host is part of the job. Then she replayed all the times she had to jazz hand it during her 9 years as a regular player on the show. And she remembered how Will Ferrell had to tap dance for o the same…for Katie Holmes, because Katie Holmes can't tap. Full Story
Best Young Dressed: Kiernan Shipka
Jason Merritt/ Robyn Beck/ Frazer Harrison/ Getty
It has to be daunting by this point. By now, Shipka knows she's not just having fun with clothes. That is, she may well be, but now she knows very well that it's becoming a thing, the way she looks and what she chooses to wear and stuff, she's one of the people people care about. Full Story
No one comes close to Zachary Quinto
Frazer Harrison/ Jason Merritt/ Getty
Stand down other men. You can't compete with Zachary Quinto. Even though the Emmys tried to disappear him. Please appreciate the satin piping on this jacket that goes all the way around. And the way he didn't try to exactly match his tie to his handkerchief. It's OK. You don't have to. Full Story
Emmys Most Improved: Elisabeth Moss
Jason Merritt/ Robyn Beck/ Frazer Harrison/ Getty
WOW, this girl. I've been on kind of a renewed crush cycle with her since that video from last spring where she and the other maybe-nominees (sorry, Monica Potter) discussed their lives as actresses, and she had fun and was lively and excited. When I saw her tonight I thought 'Yeah you are!" This is what someone who's nominated for two totally different projects shows up looking like. Full Story
Good sheer at the Emmys: Lena Headey

I like the exposed girdle under lace situation happening here on Cersei Lannister. It's not the best, but it's far from the worst. Too bad she totally disappeared during the show though. Because Game Of Thrones doesn't exist at the Emmys, it really doesn't. This is what I meant earlier when I said that a lot of the people who actually looked good were made irrelevant by the show.

Mrs & Mrs Timberlake in tuxedos
Wenn, FameFlynet
Justin Timberlake was in Vegas last night for the premiere of Runner, Runner. Mrs Timberlake was allowed to come, and pose beside him on the red carpet. She made the most of the opportunity in a gorgeous black tuxedo by Dolce & Gabbana that fit her perfectly. I also like the hair in a middle part pulled back with light makeup, although the mini briefcase is too much. Full Story

Even though she had two movies out this summer, I feel like it's been a quiet one for Emma Watson. Why is that? She just wasn't up in our faces that much, right? This is not a complaint. It only means that when we do see her, it's exciting. Here she is at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London tonight. Full Story

Leng v. Mukasey, (2d Cir. June 6, 2008)
To establish a well-founded fear of persecution in the absence of any evidence of past persecution, an applicant must make some showing that authorities in his home country are either aware of his activities or are likely to become aware of his activities. The IJ did not make any finding as to whether any other evidence supports Petitioner's claim that the Chinese government was aware of his political activities. We remand this matter for the limited purpose of allowing the IJ to consider whether the Chinese government was aware of or was likely to become aware of Petitioner's political activities after his arrival in the U.S.
Petitioner, a citizen of the People's Republic of China, sought asylum, withholding of removal and Convention Against Torture (CAT) relief based on his political activities after his arrival in the United States. Petitioner claimed that he had become involved with the China Democratic Party (CDP) and that his wife and child who had remained in China had been harassed by the authorities as a result. He stated that he feared he would be harmed or mistreated if he returned to China. Although Petitioner entered the United States in 1995, he did not apply for asylum until 2004. He claimed that he did not apply for asylum sooner because he did not become involved with the political group until 2002 and also had major surgery in 2002. Petitioner claimed that he published an article on the website of the CDP and also participated in protests. He stated that he was "sure" that the authorities in China knew about his political activities. Notwithstanding this fear, Petitioner had applied for renewal of his Chinese passport on two occasions, the latest in 2004. Documents submitted in support of his claim included pictures of Petitioner at political rallies and a statement by the Executive Chairman of the China Democratic Party Organization Development Center, who also testified at the hearing.
The immigration judge found Petitioner was not credible. She based her decision on discrepancies between Petitioner's testimony and that of the Chairman of the CDP on the issue of when Petitioner became a member of the party. The IJ also relied on the fact that Petitioner had applied in 1999 and 2004 to renew his passport at the Chinese Consulate in New York. The IJ also found that Petitioner failed to establish that he qualified for an exception to the one-year deadline, finding that his 2002 surgery did not justify his failure to apply until 2004. The IJ held that Petitioner did not establish that he would be subjected to future persecution if forced to return to China. The BIA adopted and affirmed the IJ's decision. The BIA found that the IJ's credibility determination was supported by substantial evidence and that Petitioner failed to adequately explain why he waited until 2004 to apply for asylum. The BIA also agreed with the IJ that even if the asylum application had been timely filed, Petitioner failed to show past persecution or a well-founded fear.
On review, the Second Circuit held that it lacked jurisdiction to consider the timeliness of Petitioner's asylum claim because Petitioner failed to raise a constitutional claim or a question of law. The court noted that Petitioner used the rhetoric of a constitutional claim to disguise a quarrel over fact-finding.
The court upheld the IJ's adverse credibility fining. The court noted that the IJ based her decision on several perceived problems with Petitioner's testimony. For example, Petitioner claimed that he joined the CDP in 2002, but the documentation suggested that it was 2004, giving the implication that he manufactured his political activity to support his asylum claim. Additionally, Petitioner claimed he feared persecution by the Chinese authorities, but went to the Chinese consulate to renew his passport in 2004. The court also found discrepancies in the testimony and documentation submitted regarding his wife's arrest in China. The court held that these discrepancies taken together provided more than ample support for the IJ's finding that Petitioner's testimony was neither credible nor plausible.
Lastly, the court held that to establish the requisite fear of future harm, an applicant must make a showing that the authorities in his country of nationality are either aware of his activities or are likely to become aware of his activities. The court faulted the IJ for not making a specific finding as to whether any evidence, other than Petitioner's non-credible testimony, supported Petitioner's claim that the Chinese government was aware or could become aware of his political activities in the United States. For this reason, the court remanded the matter back to the IJ for the "very limited purpose" of allowing the IJ to consider whether the Chinese authorities were (1) aware or (2) likely to become aware of Petitioner's activities.
The petition for review was dismissed in part and granted in part.

Truck rolled over after getting into accident with another vehicle
LEE TOWNSHIP -- "The driver we got is well trained like I said and if he didn't act she would have been dead and the kids would have been dead too," said Kimmel Propane owner Scott Kimmel.
A near head-on collision left a propane truck this size overturned into a ditch leaking propane.
"The safest thing to do is evacuate the immediate area on an incident like this with a propane tank involved at least a half mile in all directions," said Lee Township Fire Chief Daryl Amrozowicz.
The propane company says less than a half gallon of product leaked out. When hitting the air the compressed gas grows exponentially, giving cause for evacuations.
"My wifre had called and said volunteer firemen had shown up to house saying we would have to evacuate the house because of a propane leak," said homeowner Chad Martin.
Firefighter say foggy conditions, high humidity and relatively low winds kept the propane from leaving the area.
"Propane is flammable it will travel distances if it finds a source of ignition with the proper air fuel mixture it will ignite," said Amrozowicz.
Hours after the accident Chad martin was still trying to get home just a block from the spill.
"I called 911 to get a heads up on it and they told me it was going to be a while," said Martin.
The propane truck was towed away around 3 PM and the area is safe. Now the owner of the propane company, Scott Kimmel is shifting his focus to the health of his driver who he says avoided a worse collision.
"His leg is badly injured they are working on it right now. But his first words were, is she alright?"

Draw made for championship semi-finals
Published: 19 Aug 2012 21:02
In the Kevin Courtney Intermediate Championship, Teemore will play either Belnaleck or Maguiresbridge while Kinawley will play Coa in the last four.
The draws come after a busy weekend of action.
Tempo enjoyed a comprehensive win over Derrygonnelly with the margin of victory certainly a bit of surprise, especially as the Harps had disposed of champions Roslea in the previous round.
Tempo never looked back after Ryan Keenan's goal midway through the first half. With Daryl Keenan showing great accuracy from dead balls and Derrygonnelly conceding too many scoreable frees, Tempo were seven points ahead at the break and by the final whistle they won easily by 1-14 to 0-05.
Both teams ended with 14 men, Paul Ward receiving a straight red for kicking out at Daryl Keenan and Keenan was then dismissed after receiving a second yellow for a high tackle.
In the last quarter-final of the weekend, Erne Gaels defeated Ederney following a close encounter. Indeed, it took a late point from MacRory Cup starlet Thomas McCaffrey to decide this game and secure a famous win for the Belleek men.
In the Intermediate championship,
Teemore look to be the team to beat in the Intermediate Championship easily beating Brookeboro with goals from Declan Drumm, Gerry Quinlan, John Fitzpatrick and Ryan Maguire in a comprehensive 4-12 to 1-06 win.
Coa who easily defeated Derrylin 3-11 to 1-03.

User interface is not very good looking

Is there a way to skin the user interface ? because the original is ugly to be honest.
What are the solutions for this problem ? Are there options to change colour, etc...
sorry to be so blunt, but it needs a "makeover" !

What a first post.....
I sincerely hope you're talking about the basic UI1 skin? UI2 is quite pretty in my humble opinion. I think that UI1 is functional, which is more important, not that it looks bad at all.
There is a way to skin it anyway, I believe there are pre-defined skins in webadmin, or you can make your own. Fearingsept has produced this fantastic LCARS skin

I don't want to hurt anybody's feeling!
And I very much respect all the people that worked on this project. There hard passionate work is very much appreciated by me.
With this interface you are not going to appeal to a great big audience. Which is sad because of all the hard work put in to it.
I now understand there are abilities to skin the UI. thanks for the tip. I'll look into it.
the colours don't match, for example
text is more than the buttons can handle, colour don't match
anyway, i don't want to look like i'm an xxxhole but I guess i am much more sensitive for the way the UI looks than other people. And in my point of view at this moment its not good, it's holding the product down.
The LinuxMCE is such a beautiful product , it hurts that the look of the system doesn't make a user feel that he/she is using a great program.
Most of the people using these programs are not looking beyond this...and never take account of the work and effort put into it.
They will have even less tact!!
Is there a group focusing on the UI ? I would like to join because my profession is industrial designer.

Hi Tony,
I'm an Italian boy (I am writing because of your nickname I guess it is too), and another friend have tried to create a different version of UI1.
Of course we are not professionals but if you have a look
, if we can help you or work together.

toniperoni I agree to some degree about your suggestions ( particularially the text being more than the buttons can handle)
However your screen shots seem to all show the basic UI....have you tried the others? UI2 for example?
They are more graphically insensive interfaces but offer a much more astetically pleasing interface.
My profession is applications engineer and design and program high end products and find that the interface
is very nice and easy to use..(granted there are some flaws like not being able to choose your own default view for media and the
text on some buttons is too much) but all in all it is a great interface that is not too complex but yet allows you to acomplish
everything the software has to offer with as little button clicks as possible.
just giving my 2cents!

Do you realised there is a very extensive wiki?
Info for skinning is here:
Also the sticky at the top of the developers section on the forums
I presume you actually have the system up and running? There are some other skins already selectable via web admin - orbiters.
Would be cool if someone such as yourself came up with a great skin and I'm sure the developers would be more than happy to include it.
IMHO yes UI1 could be a little nicer but it is very easy to navigate and to showcase LinuxMCE the UI2 looks great

Hi. I am one of the core developers.
Also keep in mind, that this skin is no longer presented by default, and has been replaced by Titanium, in the interim.
I want to replace Orbiter as part of a massive code rewrite, but I have not been able to dedicate time to this yet. I estimate this part alone will take the next two years of my life to employ all of my skills to both design the new UI, and to implement it. This alongside doing a massive port of the entire stack to MeeGo.

I tend to agree with the OP - the GUI could use some work and changing it requires a decent investment in time to learn it. Well, a re-skin isn't so bad (just changing the graphics for buttons and such), but changing the layout isn't as easy. I guess it's one of those things you sorta get used to after a while, then you see screenshots of other products and remember.. I made a go at making it look better, but quickly realized I just didn't have the time and graphic design skills to make a significant improvement so I gave up. A quick comparison between between the LinuxMCE video screen and, for example, the MythTV video screen really shows how LMCE could use improvements.
I'm sure Thom could explain the technical details why new gui design with the existing system is so cumbersome, but for now just accept it the way it is. This is the first time I've heard Thom is planning to change the orbiter, this is great news. Just for clarification for toniperoni, the gui you see is the "on screen orbiter" in LinuxMCE terms. Thom, and the other devs, have done great work in the past and I'm confident that a rewrite of the orbiter will lead to all kinds of improvements including what you see on screen.

However, we are not going in the direction of MythTV at all.
The biggest improvement that UI2 showed, (5 Years ahead of everyone else, mind you!) was that the media is the most important aspect, where the UI is gently overlaid, and does NOT overpower what is being played.
It seems virtually every open source media center is ignoring this... to their peril.. Sorry fellas, to me, innovation is not XBMC, or MythTV, or FreeVo, or Boxee... It's the blonde at a party, skin deep, no substance.

I agree, and disagree. I'm not saying LinuxMCE should go the way of MythTV, but the whole UI gently overlaid is certainly not true either. I really like the way the main menu doesn't block the other stuff when media is playing, but go into the video menu, or audio, etc. and it blocks everything (or blends with the background).
If you want coverart and enough movies per screen it kinda has to.
Start a movie that you were previously watching and the entire screen is covered while asking to continue or not. There are plenty of places where LinuxMCE blocks whatever on-screen media is playing, some make perfect sense while others do not. While I agree that trying to copy MythTV or any of the other eye-candy UIs is not the way LinuxMCE should go, I do think there are a few areas where using at least the bulk of the screen makes sense. Possibly scaling the media to a PIP type box.
Just to be clear, I like the way LinuxMCE works. I still only use it for media, no HA stuff yet, and I'm still using LinuxMCe with no plans to switch. I'm also happy to hear you are working on re-writing the orbiter.

There will be no UI1.
As I said, Orbiter is being drastically rewritten to take advantage of new hardware. Especially since..such new hardware is incredibly cheap these days with the Atom and Ion based machines.

Passion and Deadlock, 1858
Fighting broke out over slavery—on the House floor. The violent slavery disputes among settlers in "Bloody Kansas" provoked passions in Congress. During a late-night House session in 1858, South Carolina's Laurence Keitt called Pennsylvania's Galusha Grow a "black Republican puppy." Grow responded by knocking down Keitt. Suddenly, dozens of members were pushing, punching, and wrestling on the House floor.
The Speaker and the Sergeant at Arms, wielding the clublike Mace, tried to restore order. They failed. The brawl finally ended when one member dramatically snatched his opponent's wig. Peals of laughter calmed tempers; everyone shook hands and resumed debate. But the incident seemed an ominous sign of troubled times. Representative Alexander Stephens of Georgia concluded, "The Union cannot or will not last long."
The Mace of the House of Representatives symbolizes order and authority

Finally, folks in Colorado have some place to turn besides Side Streets to report a rotten homeowners association!
The state has opened its HOA Information Office and Resource Center within the Division of Real Estate, which is under the umbrella of DORA — the Department of Regulatory Agencies in Denver.
The resource center actually invites folks to submit a complaint about their HOAs.
There's just one catch . . . the resource center won't investigate your complaint or your HOA, as I often do. (Nor will some irreverent, sarcastic smarty pants at the resource center write about your HOA as I do.)
It will simply log your complaint, along with all the others it receives, and report its findings to lawmakers.
Supporters hope, and critics fear, that it's the first step toward strict oversight of the 12,000 or so HOAs operating statewide.
So far, about 1,200 HOAs and management companies are registered. And you can search the database to see if your HOA is in compliance. It's important to know if your HOA tries to file a lien against you. If the HOA hasn't registered, it loses its right to file and enforce liens against its residents, said Marcia Waters, director of the Division of Real Estate.
In fact, HOA scofflaws may face civil lawsuits if they fail to register, Waters said.
The center was created in 2010 by the Colorado General Assemblyto get a handle on the growing issue of HOA abuse.
It is the brainchild of Aurora Democrats Rep. Su Ryden and Sen. Morgan Carroll, who introduced and sponsored House Bill 1278 .
Originally, they envisioned creating an HOA ombudsman with power to investigate allegations of abuse by HOA boards as well as to mediate disputes.
Ultimately, lawmakers compromised and agreed to create the resource center, effective Jan. 1, 2011.
It requires each HOA to register with the center, which will gather data on HOAs and track complaints filed by the estimated 1.6 million Coloradans living in associations.
In addition, the center will serve as a clearinghouse for HOA board members and residents, providing basic information about the rights and responsibilities of property owners related to neighborhood covenants — rules governing everything from paint colors to landscaping and parking.
The sponsors said the bill was a response to growing complaints from people living in covenant-controlled communities — neighborhoods, condos, townhomes and time-share complexes. Voluntary HOAs aren't affected by the law.
The HOA Information and Resource Center is patterned after a state agency in Nevada, created in 1997 to help people resolve HOA disputes besides suing in civil court. Today its ombudsman has a $1.5 million budget and a staff of 15.

And this link will take you to an earlier Side Streets blog on the topic.

I really want to like Penumbra, and Penumbra really wants me to like them. But, we just don't go together. Much like if I ever met Carmen Electra in person, potentially it would be a continual wet dream, but in reality it would be a messy, awkward, squidgy affair and ultimately a huge letdown. I mean for this album, Penumbra have added bagpipes, some ever so cool artwork, (like if Carmen agreed to wear a Valkyrie warrior outfit for our meeting). Still their blackened, over the Goth Pomp just doesn't do anything for me despite its lush production, varied vocals and deep atmospherics. Alas, my musical Carmen Electra is a deadweight in the sack.
Much like similarly ineffectual prior album The Last Bewitchment, third effort, Seclusion is a concept album about the forbidden love between an angel and a mortal (Carmen and I?), so that predictable base is well covered, but musically Penumbra never rise to the visage they seem to offer with their concept artwork and stage presence (apparently). I mean every conceivable Goth metal trapping is used here, often overly. There's the beauty and the beast vocals, with the beast being a far less harsh black metal squawk, there's lots of sweeping keyboards, lots of choir filled operatics and clean male vocals. Sometimes I think a band of this style would get their album from a kit that came free with some cereal. It's certainly not bad, and Penumbra do have a level of artistry but so do Delight, Thalarion, To Elysium, Sacriversum, Via Mistica, The Provenance, The Blue Season, The Crest, Asgaard, Tristania, The Sins of Thy Beloved…..shall I continue?
The problem is the album just doesn't do anything different, it extols the addition of bagpipes, but they only appear in a hugely disappointing limited role (the title track), and the Therion/Nightwish like choirs, while entertaining are also clichéd while being underused. If you are going to use a something another band does better, at least do it often. Even original female crooner Anita Covelli (back into the fold after a short break) sounds like every other angel voiced female singer in the genre. The band is tight, and they play their chosen style well, but it's a.) nothing you haven't heard before, and b). not much different than their last album, which I thought showed some promise. If anything, the material on Seclusion is more poppy and upbeat than its predecessor, with the choirs having a lessened role, and unfortunately it's the one area where a rather enjoyed Penumbra.
To some credit though, Penumbra sound a little more natural though, from the little used bagpipes to the delicate flute that starts "Conception", there is a little more of an organic vibe, despite the same ill advised dance beat they used on the last album again inducing cringes on "Cursed Destiny". Penumbra don't sound as forced as some of their peers and they are never quite as over the top, and maybe that's why they don't grab me by my puffy lace shirt and gently slap me into a teary eyed submission as some similar bands do.
For fans of the genre this isn't by any means a must have, but it's also not the worst I've heard. Penumbra are decent at what they do, but that's about it. If they are happy being in the middle of the the eyeliner drenched pack, that's fine, but to make strides in a competitive genre they will have to take some chances like country mates Leiden.
Like I said, I really wanted this to be a great album and like it immensely, but instead I got an OK album that after this review is published, I wont be listening to again.

Just want to put in a good word for Pocket Informant - it has a great Link feature that lets you link your projects to their next action (or vice versa). The "Link" screen has a little search bar that makes it easy to find whatever you want to link to.
It is definitely worth the extra effort to link projects to next actions (especially if it isn't hard to do so) - it saves a good deal of psychic energy during the Weekly Review, as it prevents the frustration of hunting through your various lists for next actions (which may or may not be there).

Or did Corbin actually make an adjustment?
He is just like Sloan. Guys play/sit and then for no rhyme or reason they appear/disappear randomly.
Buckle Up Jazz
Tank Watch Bottom (or is it Top?) 5:
1. Utah Jazz 4-19 L4
2. Milwaukee Bucks 5-16 W1
3. Denver Nuggets or Orlando Magic (via New York Knicks 5-15 L2)
4. Orlando Magic 6-15 L6
5. Sacramento Kings 6-13 W2 (they're HOT! - or cold depending on your point of view)
I approve corbins doghousing of carroll..... just wish that the side effect of said doghousing was more burks appearances
I liked his play actually. he didn't get many shots and was sound on the defensive end of the floor. I thought Burks would play Sg-pg mostly so there were no problems with that either but with the big 3 coming along I don't think he will find any minutes.
Carroll's problem is he isn't as good as Hayward, Marvin, Millsap or Burks.
Build a man a fire; keep him warm for a day. Light a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of this life.
Repeating the same actions and expecting different results is the definition of insanity.
Sounds like DLeague material then.
Corbin realized that Carrol may be masked Burks after Halloween and just in case put them both on the bench.

American Catholics are very enthusiastic about the choice of Pope Francis to head the Roman Catholic Church, according to a new national survey.
But a CNN/ORC International survey also indicates that you shouldn't expect them to pay any more attention to the new pope's teachings on issues like birth control than they paid to his predecessors.
"Pope Francis is starting off with a huge reservoir of goodwill in the U.S. Eighty-eight percent of American Catholics questioned in our survey approve of his selection as pope," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.
By contrast, an ABC News/Washington Post poll in April, 2005, found only 60% of Americans Catholics approved of the selection of Pope Benedict, the predecessor to Francis.
The new poll's release comes as Francis, known until his election as pope last week as Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina, is inaugurated Tuesday at a ceremony at the Vatican.
While they support his election as pope, nearly three-quarters of American Catholics say they are more likely to follow their own conscience on difficult moral questions than the teachings of the pope.
What's the biggest change Americans Catholics are looking for from the new Pope?
Nine in ten want stricter policies toward sexual abuse committed by priests.
Nearly three-quarters say Francis should allow Catholics to use birth control, 64% say the pope should allow priest to marry, nearly six in ten say he should allow women to become priests, and by a 52%-46% margin, they say Francis should allow Catholics to divorce and remarry without annulment. But by a 55%-44% margin, American Catholics don't want the pope to make church doctrine on abortion less strict. Both of those margins are within the survey's sampling error.
Six in ten believe the pope is infallible when he teaches formally on matters of faith, such as the divinity of Christ.
As for Francis's predecessor, 86% support Pope Benedict's decision to resign from the papacy.
That decision sets up the remote but uncomfortable possibility that the new pope's policies could be opposed by the former pope, whose opinions on some matters had once been considered infallible.
How would American Catholics react if the former Pope and the current Pope had a public disagreement over important Catholic Church matters?
More than nine in ten say that official Catholic Church policy should be determined by Pope Francis, with only 6% saying that the Catholic Church should be led by the views of the former pope.
The CNN poll was conducted by ORC International March 15-17, with 190 American Catholics questioned by telephone. The survey's sampling error is plus or minus seven percentage points.

Clinton to campaign with Obama Monday
Monday will mark 1st time both have teamed up at campaign rally
President Barack Obama is bringing out the big dog.
The president's re-election campaign announced Thursday that former President Bill Clinton will join Obama on the campaign trail Monday, at events in Orlando, Fla., Youngstown, Ohio and Prince William County, Va.
Clinton has been one of Obama's biggest surrogates this cycle, stumping for him on the campaign trail, appearing in ads for the president, and giving the high profile nominating address at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina last month.
While they've appeared together at fundraisers, and of course, their well-documented hug at the convention, Monday will mark the first time the two men will have teamed up at a campaign rally.
Florida, Ohio, and Virginia are arguably the three most important battleground states, with a combined 60 electoral votes at stake.

Futuristic nighttime snowboarding mesmerizes
In theory, snowboarding in the dark sounds like a fool's activity, but Swedish energy-drink company Burn makes the idea cool in a wild video called "Black Snow."
In the short vid, we observe seasoned European snowboarders Stale Sandbech, Ulrik Badertscher, and Gigi Ruf riding a futuristic artificial-snow course filled with LED-infused rails and obstacles set against a pitch-black night. Before the action kicks off, a voice channels Jeff Bridges' Kevin Flynn character in "Tron" and emits a solemn sentence: "When you find your passion, it will light up the darkness ahead." That's followed by a healthy dose of futuristic techno music. … Read more

I am starting up an internet company based on an original concept. My strategy is to, first build the architectural base and implement the main use cases of my website and thereafter, look for funding in order to speed up the development (it is very important that the website is released before May 2010) and the promotion of the website.
So following my initial plan, I am currently building the website but, now, it becomes time to go outside and start talking about my project. So, here I am:
- Where do I start? How do I approach some potential investors? Where can I find them?
- Confidentiality : How can I present my ideas or attract investors with assurance that it will be kept confidential and not be stolen?
- What factors will influence the calculation of the share percent of the investors? How do you bargain between the cash invested and the percent shares you give ?
- How much time does it usually take to find an investor and make a deal ?
Thank you,
EDIT : According to 90% of your answers, it seems that my question was "Do I need funding?" instead of "Where do I start funding?". This is quite paradoxical, for a startups forum, that the majority of the members advise you against getting investment. However, I do agree with most of the answers that it is always preferable to bootstrap. But guys, sometimes, alone, you cannot do so much and sometimes you don't have choice!!! In my situation, for instance, my business should go outside soon AND identified competitors have already raised 2M$ (before any kind of proof-of-concept !! )
