Thoma Bravo takes company private
The transaction removes New Mountain Capital as a major shareholder of Deltek. New Mountain acquired Deltek seven years ago, and took the company public, but continued to own a significant amount of its shares.
"Deltek has experienced significant growth over the past seven years, and I want to thank our board of directors and New Mountain Capital for their help building Deltek into a global market leader," said Kevin Parker, Deltek president and CEO.
Parker and the rest of the management will continue in their positions under Thoma Bravo.
"Our customers will continue to receive the same commitment and unmatched solutions they've grown accustomed to, and can expect continued enhancements to our suite of products and solutions through strategic and organic growth investments," Parker said in a statement.
Among the investments that Deltek has made is the acquisition of market research firms, Input and Federal Sources. The company has also pushed further into professional services with the acquisition of Maconomy.
In an earlier interview with Washington Technology, Parker said that being private would allow Deltek to invest more quickly in areas such as new product development and acquisitions, that can add business development software and applications and capture management capabilities.
Other areas of interest going forward include the broader professional services markets in Europe, South America and Asia, Parker said.

Chapter 7 was all about keeping a record of your research. I kinda sorta thought I was already doing this, but ... well, keep reading. There's a lesson in here somewhere.
Basically, the goal(s) of keeping good research notes are (1) to keep you, the researcher, in sync with the problem to be solved and (2) so any who follow you can check your work and continue where you left off. Greenwood says, "Everything possible must be done to prevent needless duplication of effort." There needs to be a cross-stitch pattern for this.
He goes on to talk about different methods of keeping research notes (calendars, logs, etc.) and what they should contain. He talks about evaluating your notes, citing your sources, and making periodic research reports.
I was so motivated by this chapter that I created a new research log form for myself. I decided to try a little different approach than Greenwood's ... having a research log for each question I wanted answered. My first attempt is here.
Here it comes ...
I decided to try another research question that I've been trying to answer for a while: When was Patrick Slowey born? So I used the same format as the previous log.
Here it comes ...
Once I had input all the documentation I already had, and documented all the places I was looking further (as I went, obviously), I started evaluating and analyzing the information from all the sources. The Big Picture, if you will.
Here it comes ...
I will say that evaluating pieces of information in the context of all the information together gives you an entirely different perspective on what you know. For example, after reviewing all the information I have from census records and other sources, I came to the conclusion that I had the wrong census record for 1860! Patrick's age was off by 9 years ... more than I was comfortable attributing to poor math by the enumerator.
My 19th nervous breakdown:
This was terrible! I relied on the 1860 census information as the only information I had to document my 2nd great grandfather's (Patrick Slowey's son) birth! Everything I've done for the past year for him was based on THAT information! I was devastated. I was seriously thinking about throwing in the towel, admitting defeat, and learning how to make baskets.*
I became a crazy person. I was looking everywhere. I searched on every website I could think of for anything related to the Sloweys. I was looking page-by-page through census records. I was sending emails to random people on the internet ... okay, not really, but I did revisit a couple of fellow researchers who had shared information on the Sloweys in the past. Here is the frenzied research log. Don't judge. I was unmedicated (and there was no wine in the house).
Then I remembered seeing a course on FamilySearch about research logs (part 1 here, and part 2 here), so I thought I would check it out. The lecture is given by G. David Dilts, A.G., and is a total of about 45 minutes long (for both parts together). Mr. Dilts explained about the pitfalls of not using a research log, and how to use one effectively. Of course, both Dilts and Greenwood advocate keeping your logs on paper ... and I've got enough paper in my office to choke a horse already ... so I'm keeping mine digital, thank you very much. He had good insight into the reasoning behind keeping a research log. It got me thinking again ...
All of that being said, I have learned my lesson. I only hope that someone else will learn from it too -- before it's too late! I will shout it from the mountain tops "KEEP A RESEARCH LOG!!!" I honestly can't stress that enough. After watching Dilts' lecture and building on Greenwood's ideas, I fine-tuned my Research Log Template, moved it into Excel, and this is the final product.
*Thanks, Laura, for talking me down off the basket-making ledge.

Lamborghini Veneno Roadster Details:
- December 1, 2013 debut aboard Italian naval aircraft carrier, Nave Cavour
- Ship docked in Abu Dabi's Mina Zayed port
- Attendees included VIPs, media and more
- Veneno facts: 6.5L V12 engine, 750hp, 0-62mph in 2.9sec, and 221mph top speed
What will one of nine Lamborghini Veneno Roadsters cost you? $4.5 million dollars - all in the name of extreme exclusivity. Reaching 0-62mph in a blistering 2.9sec will make escaping the wagging finger of your banker much easier though. The Veneno Roadster is one of the world's most exclusive automobiles, which is why it recently received the most elaborate of debuts.
On December 1, 2013 the Veneno Roadster made its public debut aboard the Italian naval aircraft carrier Nave Cavour at an 'Italian evening' attended by VIPs, media, and those that can actually afford this Roadster. Docked in Abu Dabi's Mina Zayed port, guests included Giorgio Starace, Italian Ambassador to the UAE and Admiral of High Seas Forces, Paolo Treu, singer and actress Elena Bonelli as well as former captain of the national Italian soccer team and 2006 world champion Fabio Cannavaro, to name a few.
Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Lamborghini commented on the event: "The Lamborghini Veneno Roadster is one of the world's most exclusive cars with the most extraordinary performance. We are honored that Lamborghini was chosen to represent the Italian car industry in the UAE, as a perfect example of iconic Italian super sports cars, and that we have the opportunity to show the Veneno Roadster for the first time in Abu Dhabi. Lamborghini has an extremely strong following in the region for its super sports cars, with the Middle East as one of our largest markets in the world."
If you are still scratching your head to why this Roadster is so exclusive here is why: Only nine will be produced, it's equipped with a 750hp 6.5L V12 engine, it reaches 0-62mph in 2.9sec and boasts a top speed of 221mph. Still not convinced? Read more about this monster here.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Following an extra week of rest, the Lipscomb track and field teams will have a big weekend, competing in two meets over three days. Friday and Saturday, Jan. 27-28, the teams will be in Johnson City for the Niswonger Invitational, hosted by ETSU. Sunday morning, select athletes will compete at the TSU Invite in Nashville at Tennessee State's Gentry Center.
Lipscomb will have a full squad available for the first time this season. The distance runners have been out of competition since the end of cross country season and are eager to get their first indoor action of 2012 under their belts.
Joining Lipscomb and host ETSU in Johnson City will be Charleston Southern, Georgia Southern, Austin Peay, as well as A-Sun foes Kennesaw State and USC Upstate, among others.
Lipscomb track athletes broke three school records at last season's Niswonger Invitational. Dani Walker broke the Lipscomb mark in the mile run, which she has lowered since then, and also notched a 2:15.62s mark in the 800m that still stands.
Sophomore Tucker Peabody broke the 200m record at ETSU last season with a 22.16s mark. He lowered it to 21.77s at this season's MTSU Christmas Invite, which earned him his second career A-Sun Runner of the Week honor.
Middle distances, hurdles and relays will continue competition at TSU, against athletes from Alabama A&M, Albany State and Bethel in addition to the host Tigerbelles.
Lipscomb will take next weekend off before traveling to Indiana for the prestigious Hoosier Hills Classic, Feb. 10-11.

The Forces Arcane
Exerpt from de Viribus Invisis - Quintus Aurelus Scaepus, 1127 First Era
Translation from Enris-Sokal by Scribe Arhin T'vosh
All magic in the world has but one source kourass. Kourass is the primal energy that wells up from the depths of the earth in great pools and flows under its surface in mighty rivers. The Elves call it Æssence, or Earth Blood, and they believe that it is the vital force that drives all of the cycles in nature and gives life to all things. As the great magus Gwynior'alias stated, Æssence is the mother of all things, and all things are moved by her.
When Æssence rises from the core of the earth it forms large bubbles (Enris Sokal: glomeramen), not unlike the pockets of air that are formed when boiling water. These bubbles of magical energy rise very slowly toward the surface and as its upper edge touches the crust it forms a Node (Enris Sokal: vissaculus).
Nodes begin as tiny motes of pure magical energy, but soon begin to expand as more and more of the bubble begins to crest. Eventually they reach a maximum radius and then begin to shrink until they in effect disappear. Normally this process is measured in millennia, but small glomeramines(pl) have been known to complete their cycle within a few hundred years.
As a Node breaches the surface its magical energies begin to boil off forming what is known as Lesser Æssence currents, or simply the Flows. This secondary liberated kourass becomes quite mobile and flows quickly along the surface of the earth in the form of ley lines. Ley Lines are akin to great rivers of quickly moving magic flowing from Node to Node, connecting them in a complex, geometric pattern. Occasionally there is a great surge of Æssence in a node. When this happens the Ley lines radiating from that Node become engorged with magical energy and may jump (ES: salire) or spill (ES: effundere). When a line jumps (ES: salirates) it literally moves its end point to another, usually nearby, Node. The effect can be quite spectacular as the area that had the Ley line running through it is suddenly deprived of magic, and the new path of the line is suddenly inundated by it. Spilling (ES: effunderation) is when the engorged line maintains its Nodal orientation (point to point) but the width of the line grows dramatically.
Typically both saliration and effunderation are very local events, and usually contained within one Node. Rarely a more severe event happens in which multiple connected Nodes are excited (ES: trepidated) at once. Such events almost always lead to Flow Storms. Flow Storms are wild and unpredictable events where magic is hemorrhaged out of the Ley line system and into the surrounding environment. The physical manifestations of such a violent release of magic energies vary, but are always spectacular. Usually they take the form of an inordinately violent storm replete with random elemental discharges. It has also been noted that when closely linked Nodes are trepidated there is an extreme weakening in the dimensional barriers, often facilitating the entry of trans-dimensional beings.
Æssence in its raw form is far too dangerous for spell casters to manipulate, so they have instead learned how to tap into the omni-present background magic (Terenian: mana , ES: vis tegmen) that fills the space between the Lines. Mana grows stronger the nearer on draws to either a Ley Line or a Node, and many conceptualize it as the magical spray that comes off of the Æssence (much like spray from the ocean, or swift river). Many mages have attempted to directly tap a Ley Line or Node but none have walked away unscathed. Those that do manage to actually survive the direct exposure to raw Æssence with out Burnout are invariably consumed with the Lusting and driven mad.

Realms of Magic
Magic is an incredibly powerful and capricious force, so much so that over the millennia many spell cast traditions have arose in an effort to harness it. The current modality conceptualizes spellcasting around the means of absorption giving three realms of magic Essence, Mentalism, and Channeling.
Essence users tap most directly into the flows of essence and their spells tend to reflect this. Powerful, primal effects are the norm, making the manifestation of Essence magic hard to hide. Additionally, the shaping of essence spells requires a great deal of freedom of movement, as well as direct (skin) contact with the flows. Any amount of metal greatly interferes with spell casting. Even moderate amounts of organic material (leather, fabric) can affect spell resolution, leaving essence casters with few armor options.
Through years of intense training, Mentailsts learn how to guide ambient essence energy through the corridors of their mind, shaping it into spells through mental constructs and force of will, and as a result mentalism tends to be the subtlest of the three realms of magic. Because the mentalism is centered around the mind, they suffer no penalties for wearing armor or carrying metal on their bodies, but become almost completely incapacitated by helms.
Channelers make up the third, and final spell casting tradition. Whereas in both essence and mentalism it is the spell caster who is absorbing the raw magical energy for spell casting, channelers are given their magical power from an extraplanar being (typically a god). By virtue of their nature, deities inherently absorb some of the residual magical energy from their followers. They store this energy within themselves, aspecting it with their own unique energies. Through rituals and supplication, a deity can be convinced to invest a minute amount of its energy into a follower. This process magically ties the two together, allowing the deity to send mana to its devotee filling it much like one would fill a vessel with water.
Casting Time and Active points
The standard casting time for any spell is one Full phase. Optionally a mage can choose to spend more time preparing their spell (getting a +2 to their roll for every full phase spent casting) or less time (taking a -2 to cast as a half phase action, and a -4 to cast as a zero phase action).
Active points give the standard -1/10AP.

Martinez good for Livermore school board
I was extremely pleased to see Belia Martinez appointed to my remaining term on the Livermore Valley Unified School District Board!
I now ask you to keep her on the board by voting for her Nov. 6. I support Belia because she is passionate about working with our youth, has served our country, worked successfully in our community with youth programs and is a huge volunteer in the Junction K-8 school community.
Since being appointed to the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District board, she has shown the ability to critically listen and be a positive part of a governance team in doing what is best for our kids. Belia is fiscally responsible and knows how to build partnerships in our community to help our schools thrive. Livermore deserves the best possible school trustees; please vote for Belia Martinez on Nov. 6.

'No' on B1; public unions just too costly
Sales tax in California is 7.25 percent, the highest in the nation. Alameda County's is 8.75 percent. Measure B1 would bring it to 9.25 percent. This 0.5 percent tax would be in perpetuity. Our current tax rate is punitive, and we are going to make it worse. Plus we will force people to shop in surrounding counties where they will pay a lower sales tax. Why not go to Costco San Ramon instead of Livermore?
The alleged purpose of this tax is to improve transportation and highways and to create jobs. What you are not told is that through prevailing wages and Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) these jobs will all be union. The unions only represent 15 percent of the workforce in California (according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics). So 85 percent of the workforce has to pay this punitive tax so the unions can enjoy more work at higher wages. Do you wonder why every union-sympathetic politician and every union in Alameda County is supporting this tax?
Please vote "no" on Measure B1.

Cook-Kallio for Pleasanton mayor's office
I am supporting Cheryl Cook-Kallio for mayor of Pleasanton.
Cheryl has superb communication skills and a clear understanding of how all levels of government work. She shows the courage to make hard decisions based on what is best for the entire community. Quite simply, Cheryl will provide the strongest leadership for Pleasanton as we address future issues.
Pleasanton is not an island. Whether we like it or not, Pleasanton's future will depend to a certain extent on the ability and willingness of leaders to work well with our city neighbors, the county and the state. Only by working together will we be able to protect those values so important to us all while meeting our commitments and addressing common concerns. Cheryl enjoys the respect and support of local and regional leaders of business, unions and all levels of government. That good relationship will be of tremendous value when we need to sit at the table with those leaders to discuss and solve mutual problems.
Exercise your right to vote — Cook-Kallio for mayor.
Dolores Bengtson
Thorne right for mayor of Pleasanton
Having worked with Jerry Thorne for a number of years on Pleasanton's Community of Character Collaborative Board, I know him to be a man of integrity, motivated by nothing more than a sincere desire to maintain and strengthen the quality of life that we love and enjoy in Pleasanton.
Thorne is a man who cares about a safe and enriching life in which families and individuals can strengthen and thrive. Many cities are faced with bankruptcy. It is important for Pleasanton to have a leader who knows how to work with businesses and work to have a balanced and strong local economy. Jerry has had experience in the business world as well as two terms on the City Council that provide him with the knowledge and vision so important for our city to be financially strong.
In his many years of service to Pleasanton, Jerry has worked to help maintain the wonderful quality of life we enjoy here. As you look at our beautiful parks and sports venues, it is important to know that Jerry had a part in bringing many of them to Pleasanton.
Jerry will devote his full time to the job of mayor. It is a rare individual who gives his full time "heart-and-soul" to his city at a time in his life that offers him a multitude of choices.
Jerry deserves to serve as our mayor, and he will be and outstanding choice.

'Yes' on 37; let public know what's in food
The hypocrisy of the anti-Proposition 37 campaign is breathtaking. Big Ag and Big Chem have spent millions on our feckless legislature to keep them from passing any labeling bill. Now, when the majority of Californians turn to the initiative process to get a labeling law, they whine that it is poorly written. They could have had something they could live with but they wanted everything.
GMO foods are labeled all over Western Europe. People have the choice of buying them or not. That is what I want for my family. Proposition 37 will stop, or at least slow, Big Chem from poisoning our water, our air, our soil and our food. Please vote yes on Proposition 37.

Women Voters' endorsements for the election
The League of Women Voters California says:
Proposition 34, the SAFE California Act, is supported by the League. It will replace the death penalty in California with a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole and save more than $100 million yearly because court and incarceration costs are so much higher for prisoners at risk for a death penalty.
Proposition 40, Referendum Redistricting, is strongly supported by the League. Vote "yes" to reaffirm the maps drawn by the Citizens Redistricting Commission, to support the work of the Commission and to retain fair districts.
Proposition 31, Government Performance and Accountability Act. The League recommends a "no" vote. While its intentions are good, Proposition 31 has several significant flaws that would lead to legal uncertainty and years of litigation. In addition, it puts this process into the state constitution.
While the League sees some merit in Propositions 38 and 39, it has taken a neutral position on them because of their earmarking of revenues.

SCAR Marine Biodiversity Information NetworkEntry ID: SCAR-MarBIN
Click to see members of this collection.
Abstract: SCAR-MarBIN (SCAR Marine Biodiversity Information Network) establishes and
supports a distributed system of interoperable databases, forming the Antarctic
Regional OBIS Node, under the aegis of SCAR (Scientific Committee on Antarctic
SCAR-MarBIN compiles and manages existing and new information on Antarctic
marine biodiversity by coordinating, ... supporting, completing and optimizing
database networking. This information will in turn be sent to larger
biodiversity initiatives such as OBIS - the information component of the Census
of Marine Life (COML)- and GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility).
SCAR-MarBIN data policy protocols align with the Antarctic Treaty (Art. III.1)
and IPY requirements, as well as data management protocols of GBIF and OBIS.
SCAR-MarBIN integrates these efforts, giving a single and easy access to
relevant marine biodiversity information and maximizing the exploitation of
these resources.
SCAR-MarBIN is the companion-project of the Census of Antarctic Marine Life
(CAML), an ambitious 5-year project which aims at assessing the nature,
distribution and abundance of the Southern Ocean biodiversity. CAML will focus
the attention of the public on the ice-bound oceans of Antarctica during the
International Polar Year (IPY) in 2007/08. SCAR-MarBIN will handle biodiversity
data arising from CAML field projects.
SCAR-MarBIN is implemented within the Belgian Biodiversity Platform (BBPF).
SCAR-MarBIN is supported by the Belgian Science Policy (BELSPO), the Alfred P.
Sloan Foundation (SLOAN) through the Census of Marine Life (CoML) and the
Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) (SCAR). SCAR-MarBIN is
International Polar Year Core Initiative #83 (IPY).

Ponch Stops Lasorda
Is this video unrealistic or what? But it's funny. I have been trying to find this online for years. Someone posted this clip last night. Thank you!
T.V. Series CHIPS season six episode titled "Meet The New Guy" Season six premier. Original Air date: October 10th, 1982.
No traffic in the L.A. Freeways? Tommy Lasorda drives his car wearing his uniform? Lasorda still gets a ticket? Jon (the officer) does not recognize Lasorda? By the way, the Dodgers didn't go to the World Series in 1982 :)

Good stuff! How did you find that. Were you even born when chips was a TV show?
- March 13, 2010 at 11:21 AM
- Roberto said...
Chips! I used to watch it all the time :)
- March 13, 2010 at 11:32 AM
- Michael K. Smith said...
Great find Roberto. I used to watch reruns of chips on cable in the 90's. Lasorda's comments on Jerry Reuss was hilarious.

Wow! Was 1982 really THAT long ago?
- March 13, 2010 at 11:52 AM
- Bill Bushman said...
Pretty cheesy, but funny as heck. As a CHiPS nerd/fan though, I have to point that this is Ponch's new partner Bobby, not Jon. Jon had more sense than that! ;)
- March 13, 2010 at 12:01 PM
- Roberto said...
@ Bill - Thanks for the clarification. No wonder he looked different. It's not Jon!
I don't remember the partner switch. What happened to Jon? Had trouble filming with Ponch? lol
- March 13, 2010 at 12:06 PM
- Bill Bushman said...
Exactly, Roberto!

Thanks Bill!

I agree with Bill. Cheesy but those were the shows from the 80's man.

Actually, Tommy's acting isn't that bad. Anyways, Eric Estrada was the man back then. Not so much now.

@ Penos - Swamplands? Who wants to move to Arkansas? :)

dope they were in Strong Beach on the freeway scene.. saw the Queen Mary. Use to love this show.
- March 14, 2010 at 9:14 AM

Then they ended up pulling him over on the service road behind the Lifeguard/Maintenance yard on the beach at Dockweiler State Beach. That show used to bounce around all over for filming.

Scipio Africanus
Roman general in the Second Punic War
Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus Major (236 – 183 BC) was a general in the Second Punic War and statesman of the Roman Republic. He was best known for defeating Hannibal of Carthage, a feat that earned him the agnomen Africanus, the nickname the Roman Hannibal and recognition as one of the finest commanders in military history.
- I am mindful of human weakness, and I reflect upon the might of Fortune and know that everything that we do is exposed to a thousand chances. But, just as I should admit that I were acting with arrogance and violence if, before I had crossed over to Africa, I were to reject you when you were voluntarily withdrawing from Italy and, while your army was already on shipboard, you were coming in person to sue for peace, so now, when I have dragged you to Africa, resisting and shifting ground as we almost came to blows, I am under no obligation to respect you. Therefore, if to the terms upon which peace was formerly about to be made, as it seemed, you are adding some kind of compensation for the ships loaded with supplies that were taken by force during the armistice, and for violence done to my envoys, I have reason to bring it before the council. But if that addition also seems too severe, prepare for war, since you have been unable to endure a peace [bellum parate, quoniam pacem pati non potuistis].
- Reply to Hannibal's attempt to set terms for peace, prior to the Battle of Zama, as quoted in Livy. Books XXVIII-XXX With An English Translation (1949), Book 30, Ch. 31
- Variant translation:
- I am aware of the frailty of man, I think about the power of fortune, and I know that all our actions are at the mercy of a thousand vicissitudes. Now I admit that it would have been arrogant and headstrong reaction on my part if you had come to sue for peace before I crossed to Africa, and I had rejected your petition when you were yourself voluntarily quitting Italy, and had your troops embarked on your ships. But, as it is, I have forced you back to Africa, and you are reluctant and resisting almost to the point of fighting, so that I feel no need to show you any consideration. Accordingly, if something is actually added to the terms on which it seems probable that a peace could be concluded — some sort of indemnity for the forceful appropriation of our ships, along with their cargoes, during truce and for the violation of our envoys — then I have something to take to my council. But if you consider even that to be excessive, prepare for war, for you have found peace intolerable.
- Hannibal's War : Books Twenty-one to Thirty by Livy, as translated by John Yardley (2006), p. 600
- Prepare to fight — for, evidently, you have found peace intolerable.
- Let us make war, since evidently, you have found peace intolerable.
- Ingrata patria, ne ossa quidem mea habes.
- Thankless country, thou shalt not possess even my bones!
- Epitaph ordered by Scipio to be placed upon his tomb in Campania, as reported in Valerius Maximus Factorvm et dictorvm memorabilivm libri Novem, Lib. V, cap. iii; translation from Familiar Short Sayings of Great Men (1887), p. 477
Quotes about ScipioEdit
- The art of generalship does not age, and it is because Scipio's battles are richer in stratagems and ruses — many still feasible today — than those of any other commander in history that they are an unfailing object-lesson to soldiers.
- B. H. Liddell Hart in Scipio Africanus : Greater Than Napoleon (1926) Preface
- Scipio had a clear grasp of what is just dawning on the mind of the world today — that the true national object in war, as in peace, is a more perfect peace. War is a result of a menace to this policy, and is undertaken to remove the menace, and by the subjugation of the will of a hostile State. "to change this adverse will into a compliance with our own policy, and the sooner and more cheaply in lives and money we can do this, the better chance of national prosperity in the widest sense. The aim of a nation in war is, therefore, to subdue the enemy's will to resist with the least possible human and economic loss to itself."
- B. H. Liddell Hart in Scipio Africanus : Greater Than Napoleon (1926) Ch. X : A Violated Peace, p. 153, using a quote of himself from one of his previous works Paris, or the Future of War (1925)
- We cannot separate the nobility of Scipio's moral conduct, throughout his career, from the transcendent clearness of his mental vision — they blended to form not only a great general but a great man.
- B. H. Liddell Hart in Scipio Africanus : Greater Than Napoleon (1926), Ch. X : A Violated Peace, p. 162
- According to Cato the Elder, Scipio Africanus was wont to say that he was never less at leisure than when at leisure, nor less lonely than when alone.
- Numquam se minus otiosum esse, quam cum otiosus; nec minus solum, quam cum solus esset
- As reported by Cicero in De Officiis; Book III, Chapter I

Potato and Leek Soup with Bacon & Dill
Of all the classic winter soups, Potato and Leek is one of the most rich and satisfying, the perfect antidote to the season's cold weather. Simple and delicious, this heartwarming soup is taken up a notch with two perfect partners — dill and bacon. A traditional Irish dish, rich and creamy Potato and Leek Soup is frugal, filling and full of flavour, and can also be made in little more than half an hour. Leeks and onions are simply sautéed in butter until soft, then added to diced potatoes and chicken stock and simmered for 30 mintes. The soup is then puréed with dill until silky smooth and seasoned with salt and white pepper. Hearty, warm and delicious, Potato and Leek Soup with Bacon & Dill is one of the ultimate winter warmers.
Potato and Leek Soup with Bacon & Dill
Serves 4-6
4 tbsp butter
3 cups thinly sliced leeks, white and pale green parts only
3 cups of yellow onions, finely chopped
3 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
4 cups chicken stock
3 tbsp coarsely chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup cream
1/4 cup sour cream, for garnish
5 rashers of crumbled bacon, for garnish
Cook the bacon then drain on paper towel; crumble and set aside. In a large pot, warm the butter over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring frequently until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and broth, increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the vegetables are very tender, about 25-30 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and add the dill. Using an immersion blender, purée the soup until very smooth. Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground white pepper. To serve, ladle the soup into warm bowls, swirl in a dollop of sour cream and garnish with some sprigs of fresh dill and crumbled bacon.

My cousin swung back through Denver at the end of his two week trip. We went for a hike on Chief Mountain. The hike starts around 10.7k feet and ends around 11.7k feet. The fact that we were higher than nearly everything around us combined with scattered thunderstorms all around us made for some fantastic views. A chubby chipmunk at the top of the hike made for some fun as well. The hike was short and the drive relatively far, but it was gorgeous.
The rest of the pictures are here.

Remember the "Millionaire Next Door"? He was that thrifty dry cleaner or welder who drove an old pickup truck, wore a Timex and bought suits off the rack (if he bought them at all). He scrimped, saved and invested his way to $1 million.
It was a quaint portrait—and a great book in the 1990s. But by the 2000s, the giant green tide of megawealth, filled with super-earners and super-spenders, transformed the world of millionaires. Saving your way to $1 million was still possible, but it wasn't considered wealthy.
Now a new study suggests that the concept of the "Millionaire Next Door" may be coming back in vogue—at least psychologically.
A study from PNC Wealth Management asked people worth $5 million or more in investible assets about the "actions that have most contributed to their financial success."

Welcome If you're looking for a Sefer, you are in the right place. We are a sourcing service. At Virtualgeula.com we've consistently been able find books that Seforim stores claim are unavailable. Using our service, you can acquire any Sefer that has ever been printed, as a new, used, or facsimile copy.
Why is this important? It would seem that digital media are winning the publishing war. Many important Seforim are no longer considered worth printing because they have been scanned. However reading on screen one misses the nuances, the richness and the depth one gets from a quality printed book. In fact a printed Sefer is the most effective way for a Jewish person to study Torah. Our Rabbis call this אותיות מחכימות Letters enlighten.
Who are we? We began in 1986 as the Judaica Archival Project, a preservation and access project at the Hebrew University Library. We came online as Virtualgeula.com in 1997. Over the past 30 years we have helped thousands of individuals acquire new, old and rare Seforim. We also help Torani authors reach thousands of new readers. Please come in and explore a whole world of Jewish learning.

DIRECTIONS: Read the assignment prompt. Use the material in the right pane to review the sources and your answers from the Inquiry page, by selecting a source and then using the tabs. Compose your answer in the box on the left. Use the email form to send your answer to your instructor.
ASSIGNMENT: Some books say something like this: "Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a White man. African Americans heard this and decided to boycott the buses." But this is a brief description of a complex event. Write a more complete answer to the question: Why did the boycott of Montgomerys buses succeed?
Use the documents and your background knowledge to support your ideas. Include specific examples and quotes.
Handbill from Central Alabama Citizens Council rally
This handbill was given out at a rally in Montgomery organized by the Central Alabama Citizens Council. 10,000 white citizens attended. Leaders of Montgomerys local governmentincluding Mayor Gaylespoke to the crowd about preventing integration.
When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to abolish the Negro race, proper methods should be used. Among these are guns, bows and arrows, sling shots and knives.
We hold these truths to be self evident that all whites are created equal with certain rights; among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of dead niggers.
In every stage of the bus boycott we have been oppressed and degraded because of black slimy, juicy, unbearably stinking niggers. The conduct should not be dwelt upon because behind them they have an ancestral background of Pigmies, head hunters and snot suckers.
My friends it is time we wised up to these black devils. I tell you they are a group of two legged agitators who persist in walking up and down our streets protruding their black lips. If we dont stop helping these African flesh eaters, we will soon wake up and find Rev. King in the White House.
The Book "Declaration of Segregation" will appear April, 1956. If this appeals to you be sure to read the book.

illgble needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 83 designs submitted by 12 freelance designers.
We're an ad-driven website that solves the problem of getting people together for a meal. The name Jeat is a squashed up rendition of Did You Eat?
We imagine the bulk of our users to be people who work in an office setting and want to get together for lunch with friends, coworkers, and clients from time to time. The service needs to feel fun and casual but not too edgy to discourage a broad user base.
We're open to other ideas but here's ours: the word "Jeat?com" as a question with the question mark made out of a spoon and the question mark's dot being the dot in dot-com. We mean that the entire curve of the upper part of the question mark forms the bowl of the spoon.
We've already paid a firm to do this and they could never come up with a rendering that was convincing as both a spoon and a question mark.
If you visit the site, please understand that you're looking at an old design. Don't base your design on it. Examples of our new design can be seen in the links below.

Feel free to submit designs that don't incorporate the spoon/question-mark, but the logo should help people understand the name and the relationship to food, coordination, and/or decision-making.

US Airways' latest employee update on its merger plans is out, and the company has some interesting things to say about maintaining its hubs and whether or not it will keep American Airlines' new livery.
American and US Airways announced their merger last week, and plan to close on the deal in the third quarter. The new American livery has been a source of much derision, and people have wondered whether the merged airline will keep the tail design.
Here's the company's response from a Q & A in the employee update:
The company also reiterated its promises not to do major cutbacks - a crucial issue for both travelers and employees.
Q. Will you be downsizing any hubs, reservation centers or facilities?
A. This is a merger premised on growth . Our synergies are derived primarily from the revenue benefits of American Airlines' and US Airways' complementary networks . Importantly, we expect to maintain all hubs and service to all our current destinations.

The spraying is slow and deliberate, one face after another, down the line. It is the multiple victims that makes it so chilling, recalling the mechanization of violence during the 20th century. Pepper spray, of course, isn't meant to be lethal, and it was deployed during an effort to enforce university policy rather than a state-sanctioned campaign of violence. But the apparent absence of empathy from the police officer, applying a toxic chemical to humans as if they were garden pests, is shocking. Even more so because it is a university police officer."
-- Philip Kennicott, Washington Post
And here's what the writer James Baldwin said in the New York Times in the 60s, about Jim Clark, an Alabama sheriff and opponent of civil rights who commanded state troopers who viciously attacked peaceful protesters:
"[Clark] cannot be dismissed as a total monster; I am sure he loves his wife and children and likes to get drunk. One has to assume that he is a man like me... Something awful must have happened to a human being to be able to put a cattle prod against a woman's breasts. What happens to the woman is ghastly. What happens to the man who does it is in some ways much, much worse."

Buying insurance doesn't always feel like it makes economic sense, especially for young healthy people. So why are they still willing to pay?
When President Obama was pitching the Affordable Care Act, one of his sells was that in some cases you could get health coverage for what you spend on your cell phone bill. The difference, of course, is that most people actually use their cell phones every day. Some people don't use health insurance at all in a given year, especially the young and healthy. So, why did so many of them sign up in the end? David Kestenbaum with our Planet Money team got some answers by turning to a state that has some experience with getting young people onboard.
DAVID KESTENBAUM, BYLINE: In 2007, Massachusetts was rolling out what in many ways was the inspiration for the Affordable Care Act. It was called the Health Connector. And it was a chance for all those uninsured people to finally get coverage. People earning below the poverty line could get coverage for free. But if you earned a bit more - say you were just out of college - if you earned a bit more you had to pay part of the bill. And these people, well, they weren't exactly lining up. Jonathan Gruber is an economist at MIT who helped design the program.
JOHNATHAN GRUBER: So that very first month, all together there were 123 people enrolled.
KESTENBAUM: Which is a small number.
GRUBER: Which is a very small number. Almost nobody came in the first month.
KESTENBAUM: This group was going to take some persuading. And what better way to convince someone than with an ad. There was one ad in particular that ran all the time. It was impossible to miss, especially if you watched a Red Sox game that summer. It appeared on that big screen in the stadium.
JOAN FALLON: So it's a TV ad.
KESTENBAUM: This is Joan Fallon. She was in charge of PR.
FALLON: And it's a young man who is sitting in his kitchen and he has a broken arm.
KESTENBAUM: The guy has got his arm in a cast.
FALLON: And he's saying he's grateful that he signed up for health insurance before he broke his arm, because if he hadn't he would be out a lot of money.
KESTENBAUM: And is that a true story?
FALLON: No, he was an actor.
KESTENBAUM: This is you in broken arm with a kitchen?
: Yup, that's it.
KESTENBAUM: I called up the actor. His name is Gabriel Field.
Did you really have a broken arm?
: Nope. Nope. But for the audition, I went in with a, you know, a sling which I think totally helped.
: Because you automatically have sympathy for someone whose got a broken arm.
KESTENBAUM: Gabriel, it turns out though, was exactly the person the ad was targeting. Young, healthy and at the moment they shot the ad uninsured. You could call him a young invincible. But really, it wasn't that he felt invincible. He was just doing the math.
: Technically, I could afford it. You know, it wasn't fully beyond my means. But strategically, you know, economically, it didn't seem like it was necessarily the best choice, because it was constantly paying out a lot of money for something that I may or may not use.
KESTENBAUM: A more statistically true ad would show a young guy in a kitchen writing out a check for health insurance, and then not needing a doctor.
The health insurance sign-up folks though had one other economic tool in their arsenal that, together with that ad, made a powerful package. And that tool was the mandate: If people did not sign up, they were going to have to pay a penalty. As a reminder, people got a warning in the mail.
Again, Joan Fallon.
FALLON: The postcard said: Urgent message to Massachusetts income tax filers.
KESTENBAUM: It laid out that there would be a penalty of $218 that year and that the penalty was going to go up the next. If you think about it, a fine of $218 is pretty small. But by the end of that first year, 2007, the young and the healthy, they were signing up. And they continued to sign up the next year and the next.
FALLON: I can't say that we got every young person enrolled in health insurance. But we came pretty close.
KESTENBAUM: It's unclear exactly what pushed these people to sign up. But Jonathan Gruber, the economist, has a theory. The math hadn't really changed. If you weren't worried about being sick, it would be cheaper to pay the fine than fork over what could be thousands of dollars for insurance. But somehow the calculation felt different.
JONATHAN GRUBER: My conjecture about a lot of why this worked is that you saw people saying, you know, I really hate paying this penalty and getting nothing when, in fact, there is an option where, yes, I have to pay some more but then I get the health insurance which I want.
KESTENBAUM: Paying a penalty just so you can not have health insurance? That felt lousy.
GRUBER: Basically people really hate, hate, hate paying something for nothing. They just don't like doing that.
KESTENBAUM: Gabriel Field, the actor pretending to have a broken arm, he eventually got health insurance for exactly this reason: He didn't want to have to pay to get nothing. As it turns out that year, he did have to go to a doctor. He had a broken toe and a bad case of walking pneumonia.
The Affordable Care Act had a lot more hiccups and a lot more opposition than the Health Connector did. But Jonathan Gruber says the sign up rates of young people for the Affordable Care Act so far look pretty similar to what Massachusetts saw in its first year.

Facebook is acquiring Little Eye Labs, an Indian developer of a tool for performance analysis and monitoring of Android apps, the startup said.
The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. "We are not going to comment on the terms of the deal," Facebook said, while confirming the acquisition. Little Eye said on its website that it had stopped accepting new customers for its tool, and is working on a free version of the tool that customers can use until June 30.
Little Eye, in Bangalore, said its entire team will move to Facebook's headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif. "From there, we'll be able to leverage Facebook's world-class infrastructure and help improve performance of their already awesome apps," the company said in a post on its website on Wednesday. "For us, this is an opportunity to make an impact on the more than 1 billion people who use Facebook."
The startup released its official version of its product Little Eye for Android in April last year, and since then "had many Android developers and testers using Little Eye Labs to measure, analyze, and optimize their app's performance."
Little Eye, founded in 2012, spotted a good opportunity in app optimization as Android adoption picked up, and more importantly made itself visible, said Sanjay Anandaram, who advises startups in Bangalore.
The acquisition, which was first rumored late last year, is described as Facebook's first acquisition of an Indian company, and reflects the transition by Indian startups from the more popular business model of services outsourcing to developing technologies and products, usually targeted at mobile markets.
These technology-focused startups will have to look abroad to be acquired as there are no large Indian technology companies to acquire them, only IT services companies, Anandaram said. The acquisition of Little Eye will draw attention to the potential of Indian companies, he added.
"At Facebook, we remain focused on producing useful and engaging mobile apps," wrote Subbu Subramanian, Facebook engineering manager on his Facebook page. "The Little Eye Labs technology will help us to continue improving our Android codebase to make more efficient, higher-performing apps."

Pianist, saxophonist, flautist, arranger and film composer, Polish Jazz legend Wlodzimierz Nahorny was born in 1941 and made his debut on stage in 1959. The ubiquitous Nahorny is to be found on many of the most important Polish jazz recordings and similarly graced many a star-studded festival line-up throughout Europe, U.S. & Asia during the sixties and seventies. In 1966 he received a prestigious modern jazz laureate in competition in Vienna.
The Polish Muza record label is a firm favorite of mine, with a dazzling output of both traditional and like this album timeless modern jazz classics. This fine LP boasts many nice tunes and has a dreamy, melancholic flavour but nevertheless that vital component so essential in meriting a post on this blog. The highlight for me being the laid-back groove of the 'Hole In The Ground' theme.
1) Jej Portret (Her Portrait)
2) Powiedzielismy Juz Wszystko (We've Said Everything)
3) Cala Jestes W Skowronkach (There Are Skylarks All Over You)

5) Taki Dzien (What A Day)

Canton police have arrested two suspects in the shooting death of 88-year-old Eugene H. Render. Police say they believe Saturday's homicide was a 'burglary gone wrong.'
Police arrested two Canton teenagers Monday in connection to the shooting death of an 88-year-old man.
Japheth Thomas, 19, of 533 Clarendon Ave. NW, was arrested about 6 a.m. on unrelated warrants at Clarendon Avenue NW and Sixth Street NW, said Capt. Dave Davis of the Canton Police Department.
Mikal Johnson, 18, of 132 Bedford Ave. NW, was arrested about 3:30 p.m. at his residence.
Both are charged with aggravated murder, aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary. Arrest photos were not available Monday.
Davis said detectives are continuing to investigate and further charges may be pending.
Eugene H. Render, 88, was shot twice, once in the chest and once in the abdomen, and found in his kitchen about 6:12 p.m. Saturday in the 300 block of Montrose Avenue NW.
The Stark County coroner's office pronounced Render dead at the scene.
"We believe it was a burglary gone wrong," Davis said.
There was a report of a burglary at the same residence on Nov. 18, according to Canton police records, when someone broke in a side door. Davis said police are looking into the possibility that the earlier burglary could be related to the shooting but said it was unclear at this point.
The detective bureau asks anyone with information to call 330-489-3144 or use the Canton Police Department's Tip411 system to anonymously submit information online .

|This morning's table.
I'm just about ready to base paint the helmets I'm making for Dylan's puppets. Still need to sand them up a bit, round up some flat black spray paint, and wait for a break in the rain. Buying spray paint kinda breaks the no-buying-stuff rule, but it must be done. Anyway, then we'll have it on hand for the next project. So far on these guys I've managed to use just what we have on hand: a couple of mason jars, some hardware bits and bobs, a little plastic thingy that I have no idea what its intended use is, lids, buttons, 2 bendy straws, a cardboard box, paper towels, white glue, and paperclay. Dylan keeps trying to play with them before they're done. sigh.

- 16-ounce bag stuffing cubes
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan and topping
- 1 pound fresh sage sausage, casing removed
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cooking apples, such as Gravenstein, Rome, or Golden Delicious, peeled, cored, and chopped
- 1 to 2 ribs celery with leaves, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1/2 cup walnut pieces, toasted (See Note)
- 2 eggs, beaten
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Put the stuffing cubes in a large bowl and set aside. Butter a 3-quart casserole dish.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and break up with a wooden spoon. Cook until it loses most of its pink color, but not so much that it's dry, about 5 minutes. Add the sausage and pan drippings to the stuffing cubes. Melt the remaining butter in the pan. Add the onion, apple, celery, and salt. Cook until the vegetables get soft, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and parsley and bring to a boil.
Pour the vegetable mixture over the stuffing cubes and toss until evenly moistened. Mix in the walnuts and eggs. Loosely pack thedressing in the prepared pan and cook uncovered until the top forms a crust, about 40 minutes. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons ofturkey pan drippings or melted butter over the top. Cook until the top is crisp and golden, about 20 minutes more. Set immediately or warm.

If you're looking for a foodie gift for a special someone this holiday season, here are a few suggestions:
For the know-it-all
You can't go wrong with a copy of the Larousse Gastronomique (Clarkson Potter, $110); they'll have tons of facts to spout at their next dinner party.
First published in 1938, the Larousse Gastronomique still includes lots of weird, old-fashioned stuff--jellied tomato soup, woodcock pate--in this new English translation.
But for the first time, a handful of North American chefs--Alice Waters, Thomas Keller, Charlie Trotter--are included.
The Larousse is too pricey? Try The Deluxe Food Lover's Companion by Sharon Tyler Herbst and Ron Herbst (Barron's, $35.99). You'll find more than 6,700 entries, including comprehensive glossaries on cheese, liquor, wine, pork and more. Trivia: Yosenabe, according to The Deluxe Food Lover's Companion, is "a type of nabemono (one pot meal) consisting of chicken, seafood and vegetables all combined in a single pot of seasoned broth--kind of a Japanese bouillabaisse."
For food show fans
The re-release of Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child (Alfred A. Knopf, $49) is making headlines again, thanks to the hit movie Julie&Julia. The timeless tome will have you whipping up dishes like Roast Chicken Steeped with Port Wine, Cream and Mushrooms in no time.
Or try Michael Symon's Live to Cook: Recipes and Techniques to Rock Your Kitchen by Michael Symon of Iron Chef America (Clarkson Potter, $43)-- especially good for youngish fans of Food Network Canada.
Trivia: "The biggest mistake people make in cooking mushrooms is not getting their pan and oil hot enough before they add the mushrooms," writes Symon in Live to Cook. "When the pan and oil are too cool, the mushrooms begin releasing their water into the pan, which prevents them from getting a good sear--the source of so much flavour."
For the wine-lover
Kevin Zraly's Windows on the World Complete Wine Course, 25th anniversary edition (Sterling, $35.95) is a fact-packed hardcover book based on the famous classes that Zraly taught at the World Trade Center until Sept. 11, 2001. (He now teaches them at the New York Marriott Marquis Hotel.)
Trivia: "Over 40 per cent of all winemakers in Chile are women," he writes in the book. "In 1995, there were only 12 wineries in Chile. Today there are more than 100."
For the hipster
Try a cocktail book. One to consider: Mr. Boston Holiday Cocktails (Wiley& Sons, $18.95). New this year, Holiday Cocktails is the latest in a long line of Mr. Boston bartending guides.
Pair the book with a set of highball glasses because, as every hipster knows, martini glasses are out of style (too tippy, awkward to drink from) and highballs are in. Trivia: Leo Cotton was the original author of the Old Mr. Boston Deluxe Official Bartender's Guide, which was published in the U.S. in the 1930s, after the end of Prohibition.
For the Europhile
True, you could give someone Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking --but Child was American.
So for current Euro taste trends, it's a toss-up between Shellfish by Leif Mannerstrom (Firefly, $34.95) and Venezia by Tessa Kiros (Whitecap, $45).
What's to love about Venezia: the range of authentic Italian recipes, beautiful vignettes, richly detailed photos and a black velvet bookmark.
Shellfish, on the other hand, is by a Michelinstarred chef, and is filled with recipes for dinner parties, picnics, any place you can serve seafood.
Trivia: Mannerstrom is apparently the only chef in the world with his photo on a postage stamp (in Sweden, where he's from).
Kiros, on the other hand, has lived all over the world and now calls Tuscany home.
For the baker
Buy a copy of The Golden Book of Baking: Over 300 great recipes by Carla Bardi with Rachel Lane and Ting Morris (Barron's, $35.99) for anyone who loves to bake. This beauty of a book is wrapped in a shiny gold foil jacket, and the edges of the pages are gilded, too. So very chic. (Look for The Golden Book of Cookies, too.) Trivia: Recipes are divided on a scale of one, two and three, according to difficulty. Tackle the threes successfully, and maybe you'll find a second career working in a French patisserie. Maybe.
For the novice
The heavy-duty Gourmet Today:More than 1,000 all-new recipes for the contemporary kitchen, edited by Ruth Reichl (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $49.95) will keep both neophytes and longtime cooks occupied for hours.
It's best for newbies because-- let's face it--if someone cooks a lot, they probably already have a handful of these catch-all books.
Trivia: Gourmet Today comes from the team of editors at Gourmet magazine, the print version of which folded earlier this year after 68 years of publication.

Kernstown, Second
Other Names: None
Location: Frederick County and Winchester
Campaign: Early's Raid and Operations against the B&O Railroad (June-August 1864)
Date(s): July 24, 1864
Principal Commanders: Brig. Gen. George Crook [US]; Lt. Gen. Jubal Early [CS]
Forces Engaged: 23,000 total (US 10,000; CS 13,000)
Estimated Casualties: 1,800 total (US 1,200; CS 600)
Description: Believing that Early's army was no longer a threat in the Valley, Maj. Gen. Horatio Wright abandoned his pursuit and ordered the VI and XIX Corps to return to Washington, where they were to be sent to Grant's "army group" before Petersburg. Wright left Brig. Gen. George Crook with three divisions and some cavalry to hold Winchester. Under orders to prevent reinforcements from being sent to Grant, Early marched north on July 24 against Crook. After an hour of stubborn resistance at Pritchard's Hill, the Federal line collapsed and Crook's divisions streamed back in disarray through the streets of Winchester. Col. James Mulligan commanding Crook's 3rd Division was mortally wounded. Rutherford B. Hayes commanded a brigade against John C. Breckinridge's wing. Crook retreated to the Potomac River and crossed near Williamsport on July 26. As a result of this defeat and the burning of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, on July 30, Grant returned the VI and XIX Corps and appointed Sheridan as commander of Union forces in the Valley.
Result(s): Confederate victory

Last week Democratic members of the House Financial Service's Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations offered an addendum to the staff report issued by committee chair Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-Tex.) on Nov. 15.
In it they expressed concern that the committee report put too much blame on Jon Corzine. Give me a moment to focus — this is not a joke; or at least not an on purpose joke.
While it is understandable that the Democratic members of the subcommittee may be upset over only having a day to review the report prior to it being released and — while I am no Congressional expert — the way a committee works everyone should agree on its conclusions, and if they don't they offer any alternative view along with the report as it is released. Still to defend Corzine, even in the slightest, in this case is ridiculous.
While it would be fair to say, in any organization, that you win or lose as a team, whatever happened to the buck stops here? Corzine was the man in charge and that alone makes him responsible. But in this situation you add the fact that it was his plan to turn MF Global from a futures broker to an investment bank; he initiated the trades that put the firm on thin ice; he fought with and eventually got rid of the risk manager who challenged the wisdom of the size of those positions — going so far as to alter organizational reporting so that risk managers would report to him and his longtime minion Bradley Abelow instead of directly to the board of directors. So yes the board has some responsibility in this but mainly it is its failure to oversee Corzine's activities. A board of directors shirking its responsibility is not unique to MF Global, but a head trader slash Chairman and CEO is.
The addendum points out that Corzine's plan to transform MF Global into an investment bank is not the reason customer funds were inappropriately used.
While, in general, that is a correct statement in that investment banks can fail without misusing customer funds, MF Global was a large futures commission merchant that was struggling and unprofitable when the plan was hatched. So it would be fair to ask where does the money come from in an organization that had been losing money and whose prime function is futures brokerage? A futures broker earns money by executing trades for its customers and by earning interest on the customer money it is holding. Proprietary trading requires another source of money, so it is somewhat odd for a futures broker to simply declare itself an investment bank. I don't recall any large inflow of money accompanying this plan. There may have been a bond offering or two, but that may be even more troubling.

We are a start-up non-profit that is launching a weekly newsletter in Canberra. We need a great, clean, professional design using the formats available on http://www.constantcontact.com.
Nothing like this exists in Canberra and we hope to build circulation up to 5000.
This newsletter is targeted to the most senior government ministers, advisors and academics in Australia's capital city. The newsletter will arrive in their email boxes at 8am on Monday telling them cleanly and concisely what events are on that week. There will be 4-5 public policy events and 1 cultural event.
We are using http://www.constantcontact.com as our template. To get started, go in and create a new profile there, and then you can begin designing!
Newsletters and websites we like include Peterson Institute for Economics, Lowy Institute, Dalberg Global Development Advisors.
The newsletter layout should have the following features:
- Section at the top that highlights what is below in the events listing
- The weekly events (policy) - perhaps one colour for all of these?
- One cultural event - perhaps another colour or shade for the one cultural event
- Closing statement
- Easy way to unsubscribe from newsletter
Colour can be anything, but I think a clever use of shading would be good. Also, a modern font would be so much better than what we are currently using.
Attached below is our first shot at this, called "This week in Canberra"...BUT it is not good enough, which is why we are putting this out to the experts. But this would be precisedly the kind of content that needs to be included.
The aim of the game here is to create a powerful, professional easy to read newsletter that people DON'T want to delete from their inboxes. The powerpoint presentation attached has a few examples
If your design is chosen then you can just pass us the username and password for the constant contact account.
