At Disney English, new hires spend the first three weeks "owned" by HR and tend to feel engaged. Then when they ultimately are transferred to their permanent work sites, they sometimes feel disconnected as they are leaving other new hires from their onboarding group. The HR team wrote a guide for managers reminding them that when these employees come to their centers, they can't take anything for granted.

At Disney English, new hires spend the first three weeks "owned" by HR and tend to feel engaged. Then when they ultimately are transferred to their permanent work sites, they sometimes feel disconnected as they are leaving other new hires from their onboarding group. The HR team wrote the following guide for managers reminding them that when these employees come to their centers, they can't take anything for granted:
PricewaterhouseCoopers' extensive internship program produces strategic results. Some 90 percent of PwC's interns transition to full-time hires. Former interns who work full-time for the firm are retained longer as PwC employees; they achieve higher performance ratings than non-interns; and they are promoted to manager with a higher frequency.
Big or small, every company has to onboard new employees. Some organizations manage the process better than others. A select few take onboarding to the next level and integrate their onboarding program into their talent management process. The result of this integration is that onboarding becomes a key component of a company's talent strategy.
Training magazine taps 2012 Training Top 125 winners and Top 10 Hall of Famers to provide their learning and development best practices in each issue. Here, we look at strategies for succession planning and mentoring.
Succession Planning
By Kevin W. Bruny, SPHR, Chief Learning Officer, Chesterfield County, VA
There are lost opportunities when onboarding is not used as a loyalty-boosting retention strategy right from the beginning to engage employees the first day they start on the job. All it takes is some careful planning and synchronizing with all of the company's engagement initiatives.
By Roy Saunderson
Most orientation and onboarding programs are manager-initiated or online portal-delivered sets of steps, policies and procedures, and general ground rules to function on the job. Whether it is health and safety guidelines, learning the full benefits package, taking assigned online learning presentations, or signing off on required Human Resources documents, it can turn into a lot of information cramming and a check-box mentality of task completion.

How can women and minority business owners be most successful?
See yourself as a plus to the business world, not as a liability. We are all minorities operating in the whole, as do professional specialties within the company's big picture. Through diversity, each element blends and supports others, as does the corporate visioning process. Major public sector contracts require qualified minority subcontractors. Select partners, and show good faith efforts to procure and execute contracts.
Letting the Training department assume responsibility for core competencies sets you up for failure. You're not in a position to implement organizational strategies. What you can do is provide a direct link between the core competencies your organization has chosen and your department's specific training offerings in terms of employee competence.
By Dan Cooper, CEO, ej4.com
When it comes to training, the "competence" word gets thrown around a lot. The assumption is that everyone knows what it means, but that often isn't the case. You need to make sure you know which of two definitions you're talking about, and what the training department is signing up for.
Core Competence
A holistic approach to Talent Management would be to put all these functions— Recruiting, L&D, OD, Talent Management/Development, Content Management (Knowledge), and Performance Management—under one roof and have it report to the C-suite. Some will say that many of these functions already exist under one area, usually HR, but is there a unified vision and an integration of how and why all these units work together?

Heidrick & Struggles recently commissioned a survey in partnership with The Economistof more than 400 CEOs globally to tell us about their attitudes on hiring prospects for the future. The survey results, along with other data and input from global economists, formed the basis of the Heidrick & Struggles Global Talent Index, which shows that the demand for talent across the globe is outstripping supply.
By Judy Braun,VP, Global Talent Development, Heidrick & Struggles
Human Resources (HR) executives know all too well that despite continued high unemployment, one of the major risks to a business is the difficulty in locating and attracting the right talent. When it comes to shaping the future health of a business, the ongoing practice of retaining and hiring top talent is crucial. Recent research from Heidrick & Struggles supports the idea that as the economy improves, competition to find and keep this top talent will only become fiercer.
Miami Children's Hospital (MCH) faced a steep challenge: a doubling of the demand for talented people in health care coupled with a labor supply that continues to dwindle. The hospital answered that challenge with initiatives that attract, train, and retain the kind of talented people the organization needs to lead it into the future.
By Margery Weinstein
With the health-care industry currently the largest employer in the United States and its labor market expected to achieve a 49 percent growth in the next five years, Miami Children's Hospital (MCH) faced a steep challenge: a doubling of the demand for talented people in health care coupled with a labor supply that continues to dwindle. The hospital answered that challenge with initiatives that attract, train, and retain the kind of talented people the organization needs to lead it into the future.
There are two types of employee engagement—emotional commitment and rational commitment —with emotional commitment being four times more powerful than rational commitment in driving employee effort. Employees stay with their organizations when they believe it is in their self-interest (rational commitment). But they exert discretionary effort when they believe in the value of their job, their team, and their organization (emotional commitment).

The latest training industry mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, and more.
>> Management Concepts Inc., a provider of training to the federal government, announced its exclusive collaboration with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) to develop and offer HR training curricula for federal agencies. Six courses initially will be offered and will focus on federal market HR, talent acquisition and development, HR as a strategic business partner, building credibility in HR, human capital effectiveness metrics and workforce planning.
Objectively assessing potential and identifying an individual's ability to succeed when faced with future challenges is difficult for many companies. But identifying employees who have the right characteristics and attributes—and specifically agility in learning, adapting to changing situations, understanding the business models, and building networks of useful contacts—should be part of every organization's plan and will contribute to a high-performance organization.
By Roger Edwards, Senior Vice President, Strategic Consulting, Pilat HR Solutions
When the economy is in turmoil, it's important to retain talented individuals to maintain business momentum and survive through the tough times. Coming out of a recession, it's even more essential to have skilled talent in the right job to support growth.
Motivation is easy when you know what they want.
Training 2012 Conference & Expo speaker Dr. Jack Wiley explains how to give workers what they want.
Having researched workers for more than 30 years, we believe we know what they want. Not only that, we know that organizations that give workers what they want see higher levels of customer satisfaction and profits.
When people think about performance management (PM), what usually comes to mind is the formal HR system for conducting appraisals. More than 50 years of research have been devoted to designing the perfect formal PM system. Unfortunately, these attempts have failed to produce a PM system that managers and employees consistently view as working well and that yields the positive outcomes expected from PM. So here are three new rules of PM to help get back on track.

Sluggish economic recovery, the debt crisis in Europe, and ongoing political uncertainty are creating challenges for many businesses, particularly when it comes to human capital management. As companies continue to face these challenges in 2012, effective collaboration and communication will become mission critical in maintaining a business' health, and human resource directors and CLOs will have to adopt new practices and new perspectives to meet them.
By Halley Bock, CEO, Fierce, Inc.
More leaders need to use Human Resources as a strategic plant, says Rajeev Pershawaria, author of "Too Many Bosses, Too Few Leaders." The first step is to choose the right HR leader, someone who can help, as well as challenge. Instead of choosing a comfortable confidante, leaders should look for someone who understands both business and human capital trends, and is able to contribute intelligently to C-suite discussions about business strategy.
By Rajeev Peshawaria
The practice of applying cookie-cutter, commodity pricing to people comes at a huge cost. As the temporary staffing industry matured, the typically large disparity in pay between full-time regular employees and temps gave rise to a wide gap in the quality and dedication levels between the two types of workers.
By Randall Hatcher
During the early days of temporary staffing in the 1960s and '70s, most companies turned to this option on a short-term, project, or seasonal basis only. As they started to increase their number of temporary workers, the enormous cost savings caught the attention of the number crunchers. Before long, some "temporary" jobs were lasting two, three, or five years, and others would end only if the business folded.
The changes UPS made in performance management included the creation of job models that focus on both job duties and job-specific competencies. They were intended to help set goals related to an employee's work and aid in developing appropriate performance measures.
Over the last few years, UPS has transformed its Talent Management and Performance Management Process to align job models and leadership competencies to attract, develop, retain, and reward its future leaders. In late 2009, the company implemented training to all U.S. full-time management to give them a clear understanding of why the changes were made, demonstrate the link between performance and pay, and to help everyone identify their skill gaps and areas of strength.
In today's competitive marketplace, few organizations believe they are capitalizing upon the full potential of their human resource capital. To maximize employee performance, it is critical to have leaders who can assist employees in moving quickly through the development levels to peak performance.
Before creating a holistic talent management team, organizations have to be more honest about what kind of environment is wanted and what exists (inclusive, collaborative, separate, self-preservation). What type of leadership style is wanted and what exists? Is all leadership held to the same standards with regard to producing the optimal work environment?
What does a holistic talent management team look like?
Well, that answer varies, depending on your organization and its leadership, culture, and environment. But regardless of this, I believe a talent management team should be an independent function of the organization, similar to an internal audit team.
As a result of this recent economic uncertainty, a new emphasis in leadership development is required. A leader needs to develop the stability of a rock to serve as the team's foundation in turbulent times, but at the same time must be able to rock and roll, or, in other words, motivate and inspire people to do and be their best.
By Connie Charles, Founder and CEO, Strategic Solutions International Inc.
With a tone at the top that reinforces the importance of a strong ethical culture, and employees who have participated in relevant and engaging ethics training, companies can take a significant step toward greater profitability and long-term success.
By Pat Quinn, Managing Director, and Pamela Verick, Director, Protiviti Inc.
During prosperous economic times, ethical business principles may be overlooked when the next moneymaking deal seems right around the corner. When cash is flowing, few extol the virtues of a strong corporate culture and how it contributes to long-term business success. Yet, many learn in hindsight the value of these principles.

Can anyone tell me what this is and what kind of tree it came off of? The tree has white bark and I know it's a maple, but don't know what kind of maple. I want to say the tree is a surgar maple, but I'd rather hear from someone who knows for sure. | |||
here is the same whatever it is, without the flash. | ||||
Neighbor has a sycamore, with similar seed balls, and huge leaves. http://www.etsu.edu/arboretum/totw.html | ||||
Thank you, Conrad. I really did think it was a sugar Maple, except for the balls. Thanks for setting me straight. | ||||
Barb, if not a dictionary, then maybe an encyclopedia will have pictures of 'leaves' of common American trees which you can compare your leaf with. White barked maple.....that would be a new one for me. Glad Conrad was able to help. | ||||
Could it be an American Sycamore? http://dendro.cnre.vt.edu/dend.../factsheet.cfm?ID=36 www.floridafarmgirlsworld.blogspot.com Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain. | ||||
It is definitely a Sycamore! Thanks, everyone!This message has been edited. Last edited by: Barb in Mississippi, | ||||
Herons like to nest in them locally here! "Those that throw mud, lose ground!" :>) | ||||
WHAT A GORGEOUS PICTURE! I wish we had herons of that color here. He/she is gorgeous. | ||||
I think the bark of the sycamore is gorgeous in color and pattern. It is a very costly large tree to have pruned here, unless the trimmer can reach it with a bucket truck. The bark is slippery, and peels off under foot, so it can be hazardous for a trimmer to climb even with harness rigs. | ||||
your right, conrad. the bark is beautiful in the color and pattern. the only other tree that i think comes close is a birch. I love how the leaves hang on. it's one of the few trees that i can I.D. without a problem. we have several large sycamores in our pasture and we really don't have a need to prune them. i really like the large trees and the leaf shape. | ||||
Barb,I'm glad someone ID'd the tree for you.....definitely a sycamore...the leaves are a PITA to shred in the fall, but the trees themselves are gorgeous. Love them, and they make great shade trees. That heron picture is beautiful...like a work of art. Except for the Great Blues, we don't have those here. ve | ||||
I wish we did have these in the front yard, but they are in the pasture and some distance from the house. Unfortunately, we have sweet gum trees for shade and I hate those things. I especially hate the seed balls! After a rain storm, I'm always picking up the limbs that fall out of the trees. We only have the Great Blues, here, but they are so spectacular. | ||||

About Nine Ball Guitars
I've been collecting, buying and selling modern and vintage guitars for thirty years, first in the US, where I was born and lived for many years, and now, after moving first to London and then southwest France, in Europe. My goal for 9Ball is to offer European guitar players and collectors an alternative to the high prices usually asked for guitars and amplifiers on this side of the ocean, along with a good selection of guitars on hand here in France, and a friendly and trustworthy partner in selecting your next guitar or amplifier.
At 9Ball, in addition to a wide range of vintage electric and acoustic guitars, I specialize in Gibson Les Paul Historic Reissues. I first discovered these amazing guitars several years ago, and have learned as much as I can about what separates them from normal production Les Pauls, as well as the ins and outs of the different years and models. I believe the Historic Reissues offer a playing experience that comes very close to the original 1954 - 1960 Les Pauls, while costing far less. Take a look at the Les Paul Historic Reissues on the 9Ball site and see if one doesn't make your heart beat a little faster. If you're looking for something in particular that you can't find, email or call and I'll see if I can't track it down for you on my next buying trip to the US.
Here are a few comments from our customers:
"Wow! What a fantastic Les Paul! Thanks for packing it so well. Thanks very much for such a pleasant and easy transaction." TM, Spain
"I received the guitar this afternoon - you were right, it's amazing! Thanks for all your help and patience, it was great doing business with you." FB, Italy
"The guitar has just arrived - it's all perfect! Thank you very much for a great deal!" HM, Japan
We offer a 72 hour approval period on all our guitars. Our goal is for you to be happy with your guitar. A full refund (less shipping costs) will be issued, provided the instrument is returned to us in the same condition as it left us.
Prices do not include shipping. Shipping in the event of a returned instrument is the responsibility of the customer.
All prices are shown inclusive of 19.6% French TVA. Please contact us for prices outside the EU.

These required disclosures include a program's 1) program costs; 2) on-time completion rates; 3) median loan debt; 4) links to O*NET SOC descriptions; and 5) placement rates. Please find all of the required information contained below.
Doctor of Psychology with Clinical Specialization - Colorado Springs Campus
CIP: 42.2801 The Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) provides a taxonomic scheme that supports the accurate tracking and reporting of fields of study and program completions activity. CIP was originally developed by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).*
*US Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences/National Center for Education Statistics website.
Program Costs:
Program costs include the total amount of tuition and fees for completing the program within normal time and the typical costs for books and supplies. An explanation of normal time is provided in the on-time completion rate definition below. Program costs are based on current rates and are subject to change. Program costs are denoted separately for the Colorado Springs campus, Denver Instructional Site, and online programs due to the difference in tuition costs between the modalities. A complete break-down of program cost information, including indirect costs which are not billed directly by the University, may be found at http://www.rockies.edu/admissions/online_cost.htm for online and http://www.rockies.edu/admissions/dis_cost.htm for the Denver Instructional Site.
On-Time Completion Rate:
The on-time program completion rate represents the percentage of students who completed their program in the most recently completed award year (July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012) within the normal timeframe for that program out of the total students who completed the program in that year. For example, if 100 students completed a program between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012 and 60 of those students finished the program within the normal time for completion, the on-time completion rate would be 60%. If there were no completers in the timeframe referenced, or if fewer than 10 students completed in the timeframe, then "N/A" will appear. The on-time completion rate is not to be confused with a graduation rate; rather, it is the percentage of graduates who complete their program within the normal timeframe, per federal regulation.
For the Colorado Springs campus, the academic calendar consists of five 9 week terms per year. There is a mandatory one-week break between each term and generally one annual four-week break at the end of each calendar year. The normal time for completion in this program may be calculated by multiplying the total number of terms in the program by nine (9) weeks, adding 45 weeks for Dissertation, and adding thirty-five (35) weeks of break. Thus, the normal time for completion of this program is 260 weeks.

The agriculture complex offers unique opportunities for traders in the summer that often are not seen in other markets. There is a lot of information for the market to digest as it focuses on both the crop left over from the previous year and the developing new crop in the ground.
Changes in the information flow from either end can cause sharp price moves. Here is a roadmap of some of the possibilities — and pitfalls — for summer grain trading using fundamental analysis.
Perhaps most important is knowing the operative marketing year of what you are trading. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) starts the corn and soybean year on Sept. 1 and ends it on Aug. 31. The wheat marketing year runs from June 1 to May 30.
As of early summer 2013, the trade is in the last quarter of the 2012 crop. Traders are monitoring changes to current levels of domestic usage and exports to help determine the Aug. 31 level of "ending stocks."
Normally with only one quarter left of the old crop marketing year, the trade's focus would be on new-crop production expectations. In this year particularly, with tight supplies from a drought experienced during the previous season, the trade is monitoring old-crop demand closely.
The single biggest mover of grain prices is the annual change in supply — and ongoing fluctuation in that supply as time goes by. What makes summer grain trading so exciting and potentially profitable is that the bulk of that question will be decided in the short time period when weather really matters. The phases of grain development can be broken up into three parts: Planting/early vegetation, reproduction and fill/finish.
For corn, more than 50% of yield is determined in the small window of time in July called pollination. Cool temperatures and adequate moisture during this time are beneficial. Hot temperatures and little rainfall are a detriment. As can be seen in "July through time" (below), temperatures during this critical period can vary significantly from year to year.
For soybeans, the key yield development phase is in August. Trading during this period is both challenging and volatile. Not only does this small window of time determine a large portion of the fall harvest, but meteorologists are quick to point out they have a tough time pinning down a forecast during the summer.
The newest frontier for grain market research is tackling yield estimation from a statistical basis. Modern yield modeling research, based on the application of proven statistical techniques, provides a clearer and more valid basis for estimating production and price changes during the emotional summer price swings. For grain trading pros, this represents the largest opportunity for solid data mining. For the typical trader, understand that statistically averaging weather between April and September will return trend yields for corn and soybeans. Deviations from average weather, at various phases of development, will give either above or below trend yields. The challenge is measuring the deviation and forecasting the effect.
Yield focus
The current marketing year provides a good case study for the importance of yield expectations. Given the severity of the 2012 yield decline, it is understandable for traders to be skeptical of 2013's yield potential (see "Yield undone," below).
Long-term drought maps still show moisture deficits remaining in the western corn belt. However, weather research shows that carry-in soil moisture deviations have little influence on each year's yields. The past two significant moisture deviation years (1983 and 1988) are perfect examples. The 1983 season was severely wet, while 1988 was a drought of similar severity to 2012. In each of those years moisture deviations remained through the summer of the next year — just like we are seeing right now. The yields for those two years were hardly abnormal, however: Yields in 1984 ended 2% over the year's projected trend value; yields in 1989 ended 3% over that year's projected trend value.
World demand
Continued increases in world demand have exaggerated the price impact felt from recent supply problems. Consumers in developing countries have seen sharp increases in purchasing power and are spending it on food choices.
Oilseeds are the main agricultural area to feel the impact of higher world incomes. Per-capita world demand for vegetable oils has grown 17% in the past five years (see "Insatiable," below). This is on top of normal population growth, so it is highly significant. Any rebounds in world soybean production in 2013 only will be able to ease the tight supply situation. It's doubtful there will be burdensome oilseed stocks.
For corn and wheat, the situation is different. Demand simply is not at the same levels. Producers still have the potential to outpace world demand.
Energy connection
One of the more interesting plays for corn is its use as a fuel source. (For more on this topic, see "Energy leaders and followers.") Roughly 9.5% of the nation's gasoline is ethanol. That's significant because ethanol production makes up 40% of the nation's corn demand.
In previous years, sharp rallies or declines in energy prices helped to raise or lower corn prices, and it's likely this will continue. However, in 2013, this price relationship may not be easy for the beginning grain trader to follow because of the decline occurring for gasoline as well as limits to ethanol blending. This means the normally positive relationship between energy and corn prices may not hold true.
Spread trading
Spread trades involve buying one contract and selling a related contract to profit from changes in the price differential between them. In grains, many traders forgo outright long or short positions in futures contracts for the opportunities uncovered in spreads.
As with many other aspects of these markets, the operative spread trades change with the seasons. During the summer months, one of the more popular trades is playing the changing supply perceptions between old crop and new crop marketing years. For corn, this is done using the July and December contracts. For soybeans, this is done with the July and November futures.
Another opportunity — popular in supply deficit years such as 2013 — is the interplay between the old-crop months. Traders will watch usage of the remaining 2012 crop and decide whether there will be enough to get by, or if some last-minute price premium is needed on the last of the old-crop contracts. An earlier- or later-than-usual harvest also will help drive this price squeeze. For corn, this can be accomplished with the July and September contracts. Soybean traders will be watching the July compared to the August and September contracts.
As the crop develops during July and August, the trade will begin to gain confidence over coming fall supply expectations. In years of adequate supplies, the market encourages producers to keep the bulk of supplies off the market. It generally moves into contango, which is where deferred contracts trade at premiums to nearby. A large harvest will encourage large premiums in the deferred contracts. A small harvest generally makes for narrow back-month premiums. In extremely tight supply situations, there even will be a discount in the deferred contracts.
For corn traders, watch the premiums that the March, May or July contracts hold over the harvest contract, December. In wheat, the back months of September and December are assessed with respect to the harvest contract, July. Coming from years of experience, soybeans rarely see premiums past the January contract compared with the harvest month, November.
Three wheats
Confused as to why there are three separate wheat contracts traded in the United States? Each of them is key and, most important, their interplay can offer profitable opportunities for traders.
The Chicago and Kansas City contracts are both winter wheat contracts from separate geographic production regions. Almost 75% of U.S. production comes from winter varieties that are harvested between June and July. The Minneapolis contract is a spring wheat contract that is harvested in August and September.
It is popular to trade one contract off another as changes in rainfall in one region of the country may expand or contract production compared to others.
Practical tools
Weather is the top issue for the late spring and summer months. If conditions are near normal, expect a sharp rebound in corn production and a moderate rebound in soybean production for 2013. This will complete the market's perception of 2013 as a transition year. If weather worsens over this period, the trade will be eager to re-price new-crop production.
It's important to monitor the six-to-ten day forecast from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the government's weather agency, for updates each afternoon (available at: www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/610day/).
Another popular tool is the NOAA's monthly update of the long-term seasonal outlook (available at: www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/30day/).The next updates will come on June 20. It was this NOAA update, on June 21 of last year, that helped to ignite the 2012 grain rally.
The USDA
The USDA issues many helpful reports for traders to monitor. Every Monday afternoon, the Crop Progress report updates weekly changes in crop conditions. Once per month, the USDA issues the closely followed supply/demand report (WASDE). The next update for the WASDE report is on June 12.
Through these monthly reports, the USDA publicizes its view of the changing old- and new-crop supply picture. On June 28, the USDA will update its view of acreage as well as tell us how much of last year's small crop is left over as of June 1. Because the March 28 update on old-crop stocks was such a market mover, expect a lot of interest on this one.
Those who closely follow the changing old- and new-crop pictures may be able to see some golden opportunities over the early summer. One note of caution: If you are trading from a fundamental approach during the summer, be ready to accept that conditions can, and will, change quickly — and they easily can change against your outstanding positions. As with all bad trades, accept when that happens and move on.

Spreads between pairs of futures are possible when the two underlying assets have price movements that are linked in a measurable and predictable way. This was shown to be the case between gold and silver ("Gold & silver: Always good options," May 2011) and also is true with futures and options on agriculture-based assets such as grains and livestock. Pairs trading in the ag market are formally recognized by the CME Group with products that include wheat-corn intercommodity spreads and synthetic soybean-corn price ratio futures.
One way to measure relative price movements between two related futures contracts is by observing the differences in daily percentage price changes. Corn futures are used as the benchmark price change related to four other futures on the following charts: "Live cattle minus corn," "Lean hogs minus corn," "Soybeans minus corn" and "Wheat minus corn" (see "Influential corn," below). December 2011 futures are used for live cattle, lean hogs and wheat, while corn and soybeans are compared using March 2012 futures.
The effects of corn price changes are apparent in all four charts, most notably the plunge in December corn on June 30 and July 1 — a loss of 8.29% in two days. The large positive percentage difference for the other four futures would have indicated a good time to sell wheat, soybeans, live cattle or lean hog futures and buy corn futures.
On the four charts, there are opportunities for pair spreads at the plus and minus 2% level, as well as a number of stronger 4% differences. Experience over time should indicate the difference required to make a successful pairs spread trade.
Option alternatives
In addition to futures price changes, put and call options may be used in pair spreads. "December calls" (below) shows corn, wheat, live cattle and lean hog calls on Aug. 23, 2011.
Wheat and corn option price curves are related closely, while live cattle and lean hog curves are lower. Options for the two meat futures are priced lower because of the market's forecast of smaller price spreads before expiration day – in other words, lower volatility. As shown by the chart, the option premiums as a percent of strike price range from more than 7.5% for corn and wheat, to 6% for lean hogs and 4% for live cattle.
Two of the forces at work on the call price curves are:
- The daily erosion of time to expiration continues to reduce the premiums of puts and calls until eventually the premium will disappear and the option will be priced at either zero for out-of-the-money options, or intrinsic value (the underlying futures price less the strike price) for in-the-money options, and
- Volatility differences perceived by the market, causing low-volatility options to fall more rapidly as time passes — an advantage held by options having larger estimated price spreads at expiration.
"Soybeans and corn" (below) illustrates the edge provided by higher volatility, with the March corn option curve at a height of over 8% compared to the height of March soybean calls at approximately 6%. Unless the market changes its opinion of comparative price volatilities, this means that over time soybean calls will lose value faster than corn calls. As the pair moves closer to expiration, this valuation difference should be taken into account in trading soybean-corn option pairs. Because the volatility advantage is option-centered, its effect on the CME Group's synthetic soybean-corn price ratio futures is indirect — indicating the options market's forecast of price changes in the futures contracts.
On "December calls" (above) wheat and corn option price curves are approximately the same height where the underlying equals the strike price. In fact, "December calls" shows that wheat and corn curves are almost identical. Thus, there is no volatility advantage to either of the futures, and decisions on trading spreads for this pair depend on variations in percent changes of price or price ratios.
The option price curve showing the least expected volatility and, thus, the most vulnerable to the loss of premium because of time erosion is that for December live cattle. With approximately 90 days to expiration, the calls are subject to the effect of time — a small amount of time premium is expected to be lost each day. According to their relative positions on the price curve chart, corn calls should have an advantage over live cattle in terms of time decay.
A profitable spread trade
An example of a paired trade between corn and live cattle is originated on July 29, when the spread indicator based on percent price change is plus 3.117 % — a direction that would tend to favor selling December live cattle futures and buying corn futures. On July 29, cattle futures are sold at 119.825 while December corn is bought at 668.75. The following trading day, Aug. 1, December cattle futures are bought at 120.775 and corn is sold at 685.75. Each point of live cattle futures is $400 and the corn futures point value is $50. Thus, the trade loses $380 on cattle futures and gains $850 on corn, resulting in an overall profit of $470.
The close relationship between corn and wheat futures could be a disadvantage in spreads involving these commodities. Over the period May 2 through Sept. 27, 2011, the number of days on which wheat, cattle, hogs and soybean futures changed more than 2% in price compared to the price change for corn futures were counted – positive spreads when the following day's price change reversed and negative results when the two days were both either positive or negative. Cattle and soybeans produced the best results, 15 to 10 (positive to negative) for cattle and 12 to seven for soybeans. Only moderate results were counted for wheat and hogs, nine to eight for wheat and 17 to 16 for hogs.
Volatility difference assisted spread
A spread between December corn and lean hogs on Aug. 23, 2011 buys one 760 strike corn call priced at $2,143.75 with futures at 743.5, and sells two of the 90 strike price for lean hogs at $930 each when futures equal 84.325. When the spread is closed out on Sept. 2, corn futures have increased to 760 and the 760 calls are $2,400. Lean hogs 90 strike calls are $610 each with futures having decreased to 83.100. Aside from costs the spread profit is $896.25.
These spread examples illustrate that a number of variables combine for the results — changes in the prices of the underlying futures, pricing of options by the market, the number of options used to offset buy and sell orders and the decision as to when to close out the trade.
Knowledge of comparative volatilities gives the spread trader another piece of information pertaining to puts or calls whose price curves appear to be relatively more sensitive to the declining of time to expiration.
Over time, as spread trading increases based on related pairs of futures and options, it is possible that the profit potential will decline when many traders act on the same ratios or percent differences. Even without this effect there will be periods in which the ratios and percent differences will decline. Traditional fundamental factors and trend differences also will be important in spread trade decisions. Ultimately, charting price changes and price ratios provide just a marginal edge, but one that can make the difference between profitable and unprofitable trades.

i hate small talk
tell me about how lonely you are or tell me about why you keep waking up in the morning or talk to me about your mum's eyes and your dad's laugh. I don't care about the weather and you don't care about how my job's going.
if we just met and u try and tell me how lonely you are i will turn 180 degrees and walk away

Jean-Luc Ponty
Jean-Luc Ponty
It has been a long, fascinating odyssey for Jean-Luc Ponty, who started out as a straight jazz violinist only to become a pioneer of the electric violin in jazz-rock in the '70s and an inspired manipulator of sequencers and synthesizers in the '80s. At first merely amplifying his violin in order to be heard, he switched over to electric violin and augmented it with devices that were associated with electric guitarists and keyboardists, like Echoplex machines, distortion boxes, phase shifters, and wah-wah pedals. Classically trained, with an unquenchable ability to swing when he wants to, and consumed by a passion for tight structures and repeating ostinatos, Ponty has been able to handle styles as diverse as swing, bop, free and modal jazz, jazz-rock, world music, and even country, mixing them up at will. Starting in 1977, he also pioneered the use of a five-string electric violin with a low C string. Undoubtedly, he rivals St�phane Grappelli for the title of the most prominent and influential European jazz violinist.

Halloween Special: Real-Life Vampires Hunt With Stealth
October 30, 2013—Armed with sharp teeth, a blood-lapping tongue, and an anticoagulant in its saliva, the vampire bat's attack is so subtle that it can sometimes feast undetected. Daniel Streicker, a National Geographic grantee and University of Glasgow research fellow, explores the bats' sophisticated hunting strategy. (Some of this footage is a demonstration in a controlled laboratory environment.)

Top 10 future collector cars
Image 19 of 20
Ford Focus ST( Ford Motor Co. / February 1, 2013 )
This Ford Focus ST is the least expensive car on the list with a starting price of $23,700. "Ford used to save its best small cars for the European market. Thankfully, those days are over. We believe this four-door hatch with over 250 horsepower and performance handling is an undeniable bargain under $25K that will attract collectors many years down the road," says Hagerty.

The challenge this week at Die Cut Dreams is to use red, black and white on your creation. That sounded so much like a Valentine or "Love" type card that I just could not resist using the Steal a Kiss Image from Wags n Whiskers.
The paper is from Making Memories: Black Tie. The layout is using last week's Sketch Saturday Challenge. The image is watercolored. The corners are using a vintage corner die from Cuttlebug without punching the insides out. For the tag, I punched some of the insides of 2 corners to place at the ends to make a scroll look. The spiral border is created with the Martha Stewart Punch. The flourishes are made with the BossKut Flourish die.

MontaVista to demonstrate Carrier Grade Linux on ARM® processors for Cloud, Data Center, Software Defined Networking (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Storage (SDS) at ARM TechCon™ 2013
SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- MontaVista®, a leader in embedded Linux® commercialization, today announced support for the game changing ARMv8 architecture. Carrier Grade Edition (CGE) 7 Linux now also includes advanced virtualization features to enable seamless hardware acceleration for the performance sensitive Software Defined Network (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) market. MontaVista software solutions are deployed by leading Telecom Equipment Manufacturers (TEMs) that are building next generation routers, switches, security and application gateways and 3G, 4G/LTE equipment for service providers and enterprise.
MontaVista will be presenting the lecture "Optimizing Embedded Linux for Next Generation ARM" at ARM TechCon on October 30th, 2013 at 3:30pm at the Santa Clara Hyatt in California. MontaVista will also be exhibiting the Carrier-Grade development environment in booth 316. We invite you to reserve a private meeting or demonstration by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The exponential rise of connected devices is adding tremendous demands on network infrastructure. Service providers are looking to TEMs to provide dynamic and scalable systems that will address the changing demands of the market. Advanced system-on-chip (SoC) virtualization with seamless application layer support of network acceleration hardware is key for the performance-based SDN architecture and NFV enabled systems of tomorrow.
MontaVista is a major contributor to the Linaro Networking Group (LNG) founded by ARM and leading processor vendors. Linaro and MontaVista have been trailblazing support for ARMv8 and are working closely with leading TEM's that plan to launch networking products using ARMv8. Using CGE provides a significant boost to TEMs by reducing time to market and product cost when building next generation network (NGN) equipment.
"Deterministic and scalable CGE Linux is a critical component to virtualizing the converged compute, network and storage solutions. Highly optimized clouds for the telecom market will require advanced virtualization support across multiple architectures with transparent support for hardware-based network acceleration. Only MontaVista offers seamless, tightly coupled hardware abstraction with advanced virtualization across multiple processor platforms," said Sanjay Raina, President of MontaVista Software.
About MontaVista Software
MontaVista Software, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cavium, Inc. (NASDAQ: CAVM), is a leader in embedded Linux commercialization. For over 10 years, MontaVista has been helping embedded developers get the most out of open source by adding commercial quality, integration, hardware enablement, expert support, and the resources of the MontaVista development community. Because MontaVista customers enjoy faster time to market, more competitive device functionality, and lower total cost, more devices have been deployed with MontaVista than with any other Linux.

Conditions of Use
I am high in musical intelligence and here are some reasons why. I enjoy music and have a good sense of rhythm. I also like to sing songs because I can remember melodies, tunes, and lyrics. I am also high in interpersonal intelligence. I like to be with people. I am a good leader and a good follower. I have a lot of friends and l like to work in groups. I think it is helpful that I can understand how people feel in different situations. I use these skills in the real world to help understand situations better. Like when I was at a party, The Big Momma Moon Dance, I could tell when one of my friends was frustrated with another without him telling me so. I tried to fix the situation (it might have had a reverse effect, but probably not!). My musical intelligence applied when I was younger and in an opera. I had to sing with good projection and in tune with other people in my group. I also had to use my good sense of rhythm to keep in tune.
