A good number of financial advisors give back to their communities with time, services and financial support. Commonwealth Financial Network-affiliated advisor Nelson Ball (left) really, really gives back. Hence, the independent broker-dealer presented him with its Special Service Award recently at its annual conference in San Antonio.
"My favorite story about Nelson's charitable endeavors revolves around his church, which was long overdue for a fresh coat of paint but was lacking funds and volunteers to make it happen," shared Commonwealth Financial CEO Wayne Bloom when presenting Ball with the award in early November.
"One Sunday morning, Nelson arrived at services dressed in overalls and a painter's cap–carrying a roller. He then proceeded to walk down the center aisle and let everyone know what had to be done–and it got done," Bloom said.
Ball served in the U.S. Army's counter-intelligence operations during the Korean War. He went into the financial-services business in 1965 and won the Agent of the Year Award from Monarch Life Insurance Co. in 1970.
In 1982, Ball was among the first graduates of a Chartered Financial Consultant diploma and certificate of completion from the American College.
"I'm still having fun with clients I've known for 40- or 45-plus years," said Ball, 81, in an interview with AdvisorOne. "I started my practice in the basement with five kids!"
During his long career, he founded the Rotary Club of Westborough, Mass., of which he was the first president, in 1960. "It's a really active club," Ball explained.
Speaking of active, Ball received the Good Scout Award from the Westborough Boy Scouts four years ago. The advisor also worked with a group of local business owners to help launch the Westborough Farmer's Market, and he supported the expansion of the community's YMCA as a board member over the past decade or so.
He and his wife of 57 years, Sylvia, have also supported the Pan Mass Challenge, which benefits cancer research, and a host of other causes, including support for a cure for lupus. And best of all, according to Bloom, he helped launch the highly successful careers of advisors–and sons–Daniel and Jim Ball in the mid-'80s.
Was he surprised to be recognized by Bloom at the broker-dealer's national conference? "Yes, my sons were so devious; they dug through my desk," he shared. "The only clue I had was that my wife changed her mind and decided to go a few days ahead of the event."
What's next for the active advisor and philanthropist? "My granddad worked until he was 98 and lived to 103," said Ball. "I'm going to beat his record. I love what I do … so I can work and give away a large part of what I make."
Ball says he has lots to be thankful for and continues to play tennis, as well as the trombone. In fact, he's featured his musical abilities in a Halloween ad campaign for his practice–along with his two advisor sons. "I've got a great family and great-grandchildren!" he said.

The cross platform nature of this tool is amazing.
In April 2011, I wrote about using App Inventor to do point-and-click Android development (you can read part 1, 2, and 3 if you missed them). Inventor is now developed, by the way, by MIT.
I recently tried another tool that offers a different kind of point-and-click development that can target Android (as well as many other platforms, including modern web browsers). That tool, TouchDevelop, is from Microsoft Research and is an interesting hybrid between a GUI "point-and-click" development environment and traditional text-based development.
TouchDevelop scripts or programs don't even pretend to be general purpose. They assume you have a Wall (the screen on a phone or a web page) and many of the libraries center around things like web services or game creation.
You develop apps right in a web browser (including the one on a phone or tablet, if you like). You get a Windows 8-style tiled list of your scripts (and other available scripts) that you can run or edit. Once you edit, you see a mix of things. At the far left you'll find some basic navigation functions that let you stop editing, undo edits, as well as run or debug the current script.
The next panel over shows all your different resources, including your script, code, events, data (such as global variables), and resources (clip art, sounds, etc.). Clicking on anything here populates the rightmost panel with specific actions for that item. You can also find a plus button that creates or adds new things to your project (events, resources, libraries, etc.).
When you edit code, you'll find a mix of text and graphics that the editor uses to show information. For example, here's part of a script I wrote:
The arrows pointing right indicate a method call on an object. So the first one is calling the wall's set background method (and, yes, there are spaces in the names).
You can guess that the line that starts var pic:= creates a new variable. The little flower, however, indicates a resource. The next line starts with a funny box graphics that indicates a global variable.
Although you can type, you don't have to very often. When you click on a line, the editor will open a context-sensitive set of buttons that allow you to pick things that makes sense at that point in your code.
There are usually two pages of choices and a more button. Clicking the "more" button fills in the left side of the screen with a list of everything that you could do at that point.
It sounds complicated, but it isn't really. If you go to the website and do a few tutorials, you'll see it is actually quite easy as long as you don't need to do anything unanticipated by the system designers. If you really want to type (like I do), there are a few helpers that I didn't find mentioned anywhere. For example, pressing a period after an object name inserts the method call arrow for you.
The cross platform nature of this tool is amazing. However, I don't think it will be of much direct use to Android embedded developers. I don't think that would surprise the TouchDevelop creators, either. It looks like it is a casual programming language aimed at mobile devices and at that it seems pretty successful. It is easy to imagine using this to teach programming to young people, for example. It is harder to see doing commercial development with it in its current state.
Even if you don't think you need it, TouchDevelop is one of those things that is significantly different from what you normally use that you ought to look at it just to shake up your world view a little bit. I have to admit, I enjoy coding a little game or something while I'm on an airplane on my tablet (for example, my Lunar Lander game, which is a work in progress). I wouldn't be surprised to find more tools borrowing some of the ideas from systems like TouchDevelop in the future.

Today's Blind Items - Lindsay Lohan
In honor of me getting to see Lindsay Lohan screw up for hours on end while filming a television show I thought we would play the game of who has she had sex with that you don't know about. All of them are surprising.
#1- Academy Award winner/multiple nominee. Married. Has been in a relationship both times he had sex with her. Once he was even married.
#2 - Talk show host. She had a threesome with him and his girlfriend at the time who was a B lister then and didn't have the bad plastic surgery yet.
#3 - At the time he was an A list mostly television actor and she had a threesome with the A lister and the A lister's co-star who was her boyfriend at the time.
#4- Was visiting the set of the actress in #2 and ended up having sex with (a) the ex-boyfriend of the B+ list mostly movie actress with A+ name recognition and on a separate day the "star" of the movie who is actually on a pretty decent almost television show.

(Editor's Note: SEC Chairwoman Mary Schapiro announced Monday that she was stepping down as head of the Commission on Dec. 14, ending her nearly four years in that position.)
Rumors are circulating that Mary John Miller, the Treasury Department's Under Secretary for Domestic Finance, is the top candidate to replace SEC Chairwoman Mary Schapiro when she departs.
Industry officials reached by AdvisorOne say that Miller is, indeed, "qualified" to fill Schapiro's shoes. As Under Secretary for Domestic Finance, Miller is responsible for developing and coordinating Treasury's policies and guidance in the areas of financial institutions, federal debt financing, financial regulation and capital markets.
While Schapiro's term doesn't end until 2014, it has long been rumored that she would leave her post at year-end regardless of whether President Obama secured re-election. Schapiro declined to comment on whether she is planning to depart the agency.
Vanguard founder and index investing pioneer John Bogle said during a recent speech that Schapiro has been "so frustrated" with internal opposition at the agency, citing specifically the challenge to finish a rule to put brokers under a fiduciary mandate. One recent victory for Schapiro, however, was getting the Financial Stability Oversight Council to advance money-market fund reforms—a feat on which Schapiro had previously failed to get SEC commissioners to back her.
David Tittsworth, executive director of the Investment Adviser Association in Washington, notes that the appointment of any replacement for Schapiro "can be very difficult to predict." Says Tittsworth: "If and when Schapiro resigns, my guess–and it's only a guess–is that other potential candidates may be considered than those who are being named in various reports."
Indeed, there is also industry banter that Richard Ketchum, CEO of FINRA, is interested in throwing his hat into the ring as a potential Schapiro replacement. Ketchum declined to comment on the speculation, however.
In her previous role at Treasury, Miller served as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Financial Markets, where she advised the Secretary on broad matters of domestic finance, financial markets, federal, state and local finance and federal government lending policies. In this role, she was responsible for Treasury's management of the public debt.
Prior to joining Treasury, Miller spent 26 years at T. Rowe Price Group, Inc., where she was the director of the Fixed Income Division and a member of the firm's Management Committee.
Miller received a B.A. from Cornell University and an M.C.R.P. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She also has earned her Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation.

Macpup 529
Subject description: e17 macpup
Prit And I are proud to announce the release of Macpup 529,our newest
e17 Macpup.
MP529 is based on Precise Puppy 5.2.60 , An official woof build of puppy
Linux that is binary-compatible with Ubuntu Precise P packages.
MP529 contains all the apps from Precise Puppy with the addition of
Firefox 14.0.1. MP529 also includes the Enlightenment E17 window manager.
The EFL libraries version 1.2.0 and E17 version 71440 where compiled and
installed from source.
All included E17 themes are By Verdegal37 and where customized for
Macpup by CatDude and Runtt21.
Thank's to everyone that has help or supported the Macpup project:
Ttuuxxx, CatDude, Puppyluvr, Mu, Sneekylinux, Rasterman and all Of the
E17 crew, ZaZoOo, WhoDo, Omskates, Cgt_1991. Joel, Russoodle,
GrumpyWolfe,Maxpro4u, Rokytnji ,01miko & PlayDaze.
Extra Thanks to Agust(Verdegal37), The best E17 Themer on the planet.
And Sakasa for the Default theme backgrounds .
Special Thanks to BarryK the creator of puppylinux and Precise Puppy.
8/18/12 John Lee aka Runtt21
To keep your CPU cool and your fan quiet use the CPU Frequency Scaling
Tool . Menu-applications-system-CPU frequency Scaling Tool
The first time you run Macpup, The system will be running totally in RAM!
Click on Htop on the ibar to check working space left in RAM*. If less than 30MB,
do not run big apps like Firefox -- instead, shutdown Macpup and you will be
asked to create a save file, that will give you more space.You can put the
save file almost anywhere,Hard drive,USB Flash drive,Sd card.Etc...
I recommend 256 MB total system ram for Macpup.You can also check ram by adding
the systray module to the Ibar. Click on the Top Hat on the Ibar to adjust most
system settings. Access the settings panel to make adjustments to e17.
Menu-settings-settings panel or the settings icon on the right end of the Ibar.
Updates for Macpup 529 can be found at
in the macpup 529 folder,
as well as extra modules and more themes. Please note that macpup is for PC's and
not intended for use on a real "Mac".
Important note about themes, Most of the mp511 themes and up should work in
This version of Macpup will boot to desktop in almost all cases and
from that screen you can make adjustments if they are needed or
wanted.The desktop and clock should be correct. If it does not boot to
a graphical screen, it might boot to a "prompt." If that happens
please enter 'xorgwizard' which will allow you to configure Macpup. If
it does not boot to a prompt but a black screen, then you should
reboot the CD and press f1 and enter 'puppy pfix=nox', in the space
that asks for any boot options. Then at the prompt enter 'xorgwizard'.
If you connect to the internet by Ethernet As soon as the desktop
comes up you will be online please click on the top hat on the ibar
and run the firewall wizard. Use the new connect icon to set up wifi.
More info on using macpup:

If you run into this little white box just press F1 and keep going.
But if something happens and X crashes type xwin enlightenment_start at the prompt. Both cases are extremely rare. This is FYI just in case.
In the macpup 529 folder on my macpup page.
I have posted the MP529-extramods-01.pet This has extra e17 modules like Flame,Rain,Snow, etc.....
I recommend installing the MP529-sys-update-01.pet this fixes an issue with the cups setup wizard so that Firefox will load the correct page.
This version of macpup is based on Barry K's build of Precise puppy beta 2, a new cutting edge version of puppy linux.
More info about precise puppy:
Because it's so new there isn't alot of puppy software available for it yet. The main repro is ubuntu's. When you first open the package manager icons wont display correctly. Just close it and then reopen it and it works fine after that. This is a bug in precise that carried over to mp529.
Here are some extra's:
Gimp 2.8 by Shinobar
Apache OpenOffice
use the XZ version.

I just came from the new Macpup.org and I just wanted to let you all know about the poor spacing in the new 529 intro.
Macpup is a small,light OS. It runs in ram and is very fast. It is not a striped down,bare bones,basic core OS. Macpup is a full featured systemright out of the box with apps for office,graphics,multimedia,internetand much more.And it looks really cool.
I hope you can fix the above errors.

Anyway, sorry if I sounded dumb.
Errors in the source make programs exit or abort.
But i need a typist that is more comfortable with the keyboard then me, too.
Sorry for not downloading atm cos Macpup based upon Puppy 4 series is running too fine .
What i have observed is that if i move and copy a lot of different files or directories using the rox file manager in short time after another from one window to another this Xaw (xmessage) -recover pops up.
(Seems about time to hack it . e17 is difficult to compile, needs current autoconf and automake if from svn. No one ever tried to compile e17 knows how difficult it is !)
Hope you'll get nice reviews as always !
Cheers !

This has the same problem as CheckMate Precise - it cannot connect to the internet using wifi.
I am using TP-Link TL-WN722N 150Mbps High Gain Wireless USB Adapter with TP-Link TL-ANT2408CL 2.4GHz 8dbi Indoor Omni-Directional Antenna. I also tried Edimax EW-7711UAN 150Mbps Wireless 802.11n High Gain 3dBi USB Adapter. They detected my BT Home Hub & I entered the wireless key - just an error message on screen.
Then I unrolled my 10 metre ethernet cable & finally online.

As an experienced programmer I recommend that new programmers do NOT use this function.
Use mqsql_fetch_array instead.
Using this function leads to code like:
$surname = $row[7];
This is a dangerous coding practice and should be avoided.
Changing the original query can break existing code, often in subtle ways that leave 'sleeper' bugs in your system that take months to appear.
Using mysql_fetch_array allows you to write code like:
$surname = $data['surname'];
This code will continue to run properly even columns are added to the originial query.
Also it is much easier to read and makes reading and modiying your code easier, reducing bugs.

A good first aid kit is essential to a pack trip, but knowing how to use it, and how to deal with medical emergencies is even more important. Make sure that someone in your group has some experience with this as getting hurt in the back country can easily turn into a major problem.The spall or personal first aid kit may include is really for every day issues including splinters, blisters, aches & pains, burns, etc.When on North Manitou Island, the ranger gave a good talk explaining how things you do every day at home could become life threatening on the island. He gave a story about a pickup game of baseball done using sticks and rocks. You can imagine the rest. When something like that happens miles from the road, out of cell coverage, 911 is not an option. Play it safe when on the trail.
Bill's ChoiceI run the REI's "Hikers first aid kit", and have included a number of extra medications (lots of Ibuprofen), Band-Aid Blister Block Cushions, second skin, various ointments, etc.

Golf journalist Brian Keogh asks renowned golf photographer David Cannon about his trip around some of Ireland's most incredible courses
The golfing hotspots of Augusta National in Georgia or St Andrews in Scotland might sound like the perfect office views for a golf nut, but they lose their lustre when deadlines are screaming and the pressure to capture that crucial shot mounts by the second.
Little wonder then that UK photographer David Cannon and his German short-haired pointer Mashie had the time of their lives when they spent four weeks visiting Ireland's iconic courses in a camper van for a special photographic project.
"The thing about Ireland is that people are so lovely," says David, who featured some of our most spectacular courses in his latest iconic book Golf Courses: Great Britain and Ireland.
"It's just so relaxed. You walk off a plane or get off a boat in Ireland and the pressure valve starts releasing straight away."

David and his Getty Images photography team work directly with the world's major golf tours and his pictures regularly appear in Sports Illustrated, Golf Digest, Time and Newsweek.
He's photographed legendary golfers, including Tiger Woods, Padraig Harrington, Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy, Nick Faldo, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer.
But nothing excites him like a tip to Ireland and the chance to photograph an Irish sky.
"There is something about the skies. They are as much part of the pictures as the landscapes," says David, who travelled the length and breadth of the country from Waterville and Sligo to Portrush and Rosapenna to capture the stunning beauty of Ireland's golf courses.
"I had driven overnight to get to Rosapenna, right up on the north west tip of Donegal. I knew the weather was changing but there was just the chance that I might still catch some nice weather. And I literally had two bursts of sunshine for, like a minute, and got two angles on the 17th green as the sun was rising.
"I am trying all the time to get the image that makes people want to go and play those golf courses."
With no hotel check in times to worry about, David and Mashie came and went as they pleased.
"It was utterly brilliant," David recalls. "I have never seen better beaches in my life. That west coast is just astonishing.
"I split my visits into a couple of two-week trips. The first one was in August and I started at the Old Head of Kinsale, then went on to Waterville, Tralee and Ballybunion and then up to Clare to Lahinch and Trump International (Doonbeg).
"For the second one, I started at Portmarnock and County Louth, nipped over to Lough Erne, and from there on to the west to Enniscrone, County Sligo and Carne. Then it was up to the north coast to Rosapenna and Ballyliffin in Donegal and over to Portstewart and Portrush."
"Waterville was absolutely amazing but Tralee is totally underrated. And Rosapenna! How wild is that up there? Trump International (Doonbeg) is just an oasis. It hasn't got the mountain views of some of the others, but Doughmore Bay is just amazing.
"I got soaked three times in three hours at Trump International (Doonbeg), and it was the same for Lahinch. The two of those were really wild. But that's the beauty of Ireland. You can be thinking it's going to rain all day and bingo, you get a little bit of gold. You've got to expect the unexpected and just let Ireland take you along for the ride."
"County Louth was like that. It was raining all day and I was about to turn back and move on and then suddenly the sun came out for 20 minutes and it was beautiful. People don't realise that the skies in Ireland are the best skies anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to be all blue to be beautiful."
They used to say that Ireland is a small country until you try to drive around it, but that's no longer the case.
"The roads are so good now," Dave says. "There are so many remote spots but it is so much easier to get around than it used to be. I've played over 700 courses around the world now and covered more than a thousand tournaments, but there's something special about Ireland. I can't wait to come back."

Authorities have shifted their focus from searching for a missing 10-year-old girl to appealing for help in tracking down her apparent kidnapper, as concern mounts in a Denver suburb where the girl disappeared a week ago and a body was found.
Police on Friday expect to positively identify a body found in a park seven miles from where Jessica Ridgeway went missing Oct. 5. Police have not linked the body to Jessica or even revealed if it belongs to a child. The body found at Pattridge Park in Arvada was "not intact," which has delayed identification, police said.
Notably missing Thursday were more appeals by authorities to spread word of Jessica's disappearance via social media. Instead, the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit released a list of changes that a person committing a crime against a child would exhibit. Among them: sudden differences in appearance, missed appointments, being absent from work, or leaving town with no explanation.
"It could be your boss, it could be your friend, and ultimately it could be your family member," FBI spokesman Dave Joly said. "Bring this information to law enforcement and let us vet that to a close. If that person is not the suspect, 'Thank you for your call.' Next lead."
Joly said agents are searching for a man, based on statistics for this type of crime.
Retired FBI behavioral analyst Clinton Van Zandt told The Associated Press that some things to look out for include a person suddenly growing a beard, cutting their hair or doing other things to change their appearance. Other clues are activities that are out of character, such as a person who may have detailed their car when he normally would have only washed it, Van Zandt said.
Now, authorities just need somebody to have noticed and contact police, Van Zandt said.
As for the lack of information being released by authorities, it's part of the search for a suspect, Van Zandt said.
"Whoever is responsible would be watching this very closely," Van Zandt said, and procedure would be to release information "that will drive the offender one way or another."
Police have ruled out as suspect Jessica's parents — Sarah Ridgeway, who lives in Colorado, and Jeremiah Bryant, who lives in Missouri — and have said they believe Jessica was kidnapped by an "unknown suspect."
Jessica's mother last saw her daughter walking to a park in Westminster to meet friends to walk to school. The girl never arrived at school, setting off a frantic search by hundreds of law enforcement officials and residents.
Aurelio Florez, who has lived in Jessica's neighborhood for six years, said it was shocking that Jessica could have vanished during a two-block walk to a park.
"You can see the park from her front door," he said.
Fliers about the fifth-grader were posted on nearly every house in her neighborhood of modest, two-story homes with single-car garages. Purple ribbons, Jessica's favorite color and a symbol of hope for her return, were tied around trees.
It was a lively area where children played outdoors, said another neighbor, Luis Pena, but since Jessica disappeared, parents are keeping their children inside and people look at each other with suspicion.
"Nobody trusts anybody anymore," he said.
The only real clue police have revealed in Jessica's disappearance is the discovery over the weekend of a backpack and water bottle that she had with her when she disappeared. Police won't discuss what was found in the bag or test results on it.
The items were found in the town of Superior, some six miles from Jessica's home.
Additional police were sent to Jessica's school, said Lynn Setzer, spokeswoman for Jeffco Public Schools. The district has its own security officers at other middle schools and high schools.
Steve Saunders, a spokesman for nearby Adams County schools, said the district is trying to strike a balance between reassuring students and their parents that they are safe, while encouraging them to be vigilant.
Saunders said the district has security officers at all middle schools and high schools, but not elementary schools. He said the district will seek more help if authorities believe it is warranted.
