The June meeting of NDFA is Thursday, June 9 – we have great speakers lined up. Former Governor Pat Quinn will be speaking, as well as the new head of the Chicago Principals and Administrators Association, Troy LaRaviere. We'll also have member John Baker speak on the "No more charter schools" referenda.
We'll meet on Thursday, June 9, at 7:00 pm (6:00 pm for optional dinner/social hour) at Chief O'Neill's, 3471 N. Elston.
We'll also take a vote on endorsing Greg Hose, candidate for state representative in the 81st State Rep district (DuPage County) – he's running against Ron Sandack (Republican) in the general election.
Hope you can join us!
Last Thursday, NDFA held elections for Steering Committee. It was a contested election, with 12 excellent candidates running for 10 slots. Thanks to all who ran -- again, it's good to practice the democracy we preach.
NDFA Steering Committee for 2016-2018:
Melissa Lindberg, Co-Chair
Carl Nyberg, Co-Chair
Mary Stich Marcus, Treasurer
Kevin Allen
Irma Cornier
Joe Fedorko
Nicole McIntyre
Matt McWhinney

Since I can't be at the "War Stories" meeting in April, I thought I'd share my experience poll-watching for Theresa Mah.
I was assigned the 9th precinct of the 25th Ward, in Pilsen, ground zero for her opponent, Eddie Acevedo. It was assumed there would be lots of chicanery from this old-school family that had already used physical and verbal assaults to try and shut-down at least one of Theresa's press conferences.
Back by popular demand, the list of judges rated by 11 Bar Associations, and NDFA's regular candidate endorsements. Note those judicial candidates with many "NR" (Not Recommended) and "NQ" (Not Qualified) ratings. You may take this list into the voting booth with you
To see the complete lists, click these links:
It's coming down to the last two weekends before Election Day: remember, campaigns could really use your help now – and on Election Day. Turning out the vote is going to matter no matter who your favorite candidate is. The fewer people who vote the better it is for the status quo. If you can help out on Election Day, for all or part of the day, it would be an enormous help. Contact either the campaign or the NDFA liaison (for our adopted campaigns) and they'll make sure you are on the list and they have something appropriate for you to do.
With early voting starting in two weeks, the time to campaign and get the word out about our great candidates is coming down to the wire. In case you were looking for ways to help out – and all our many candidates need help, from Bernie Sanders for President down to all the committeemen candidates – here is a handy list of just SOME of the upcoming events. Lots going on, lots to do – and so many ways to help out:
Theresa Mah Phonebank
Thursdays from 5:30-8pm on the AutoDialer
Mah HQ. 3015 S. Archer Ave, Chicago, IL 60608
Our monthly meeting is Thursday, Feb. 11: we'll have two speakers, Robert Zwolinski, who is running for state representative in the 4th district (against the incumbent, Rep. Cynthia Soto), and Noe Favela, who is running for committeeman in the 30th Ward (against the incumbent, Ald. Ariel Reboyras).
We'll meet on Thursday, February 11 at 7 pm (6 pm is the optional dinner/social hour) at Chief O'Neill's, 3471 N. Elston.
Find your polling place and locations/dates for early voting
Two events to tell you about:
1) Our December monthly meeting is THIS Thursday, December 10, 2015, at 7 pm (optional dinner/social hour starts at 6:00 pm). We'll be at Chief O'Neill's, 3471 N. Elston.
We have two speakers confirmed so far: Rep. Ann Williams, state representative from the 11th District, and Maria Gonzales, running for committeeman in the 1st Ward.
Our meeting is next Thursday, November 12. As always, we meet at 7 pm (6 pm for the optional dinner/social hour) at Chief O'Neill's, 3471 N. Elston. And as always, you are invited.

The Lives They Lived: Fred C. Trump, b. 1905; The Fred
By Philip Weiss
Published: January 2, 2000
Donald Trump remembers exactly when he realized his father was beginning to fade. About six years ago, they were driving down Fifth Avenue when he gave his father big news: he had just bought the land beneath the Empire State Building. ''That's a tall building, isn't it?'' Fred C. Trump replied. ''How many apartments are in that building?'' At first, Donald thought he was kidding. But his father, 87, was developing Alzheimer's.
Fred Trump died last June in Queens, at 93. Donald had visited him in the hospital that night and got the call later when he was by himself, high up in Trump Tower. He cried. It was the saddest day of his life, he says.
The son, now considering a run for the presidency, likes to present himself as a self-made man. But how much of him did his father make? Long before young Trump was putting up glass-and-bronze curtain walls on Fifth Avenue and selling apartments for $38 million, his father was putting bird cages in lobbies to dress up Queens apartment houses -- and releasing balloons on Coney Island at the height of summer with coupons inside for $50 off on a $4,990 Trump home.
Fred Trump was a builder who loved his work. You can still see his achievement throughout Brooklyn today: hundreds of houses and apartment buildings, all of them dapper but not fancy -- like him -- and made of solid materials. Trump's properties were maintained to a fare-thee-well. Brick was repointed; ironwork repainted. Signs over perfect lawns speak in Fred's stentorian tone: ''Positively No Ball Playing Allowed.''
''Freddy was always very neat, a Beau Brummell,'' says his contemporary, Sam LeFrak. ''He had a mustache, and that mustache was always right, perfect.'' He would ask his bricklayers to vary the balustrades on the terraces from one attached house to the next one, in order to create different patterns in the brick: squares, open crosses. Or he would add white shutters to brick apartment buildings to add a touch of class. Trump liked ornamentation, but not the glitzy kind. ''He didn't have frivolous taste,'' says his youngest son, Robert. ''There was not a frivolous bone in his body.''
The story the family tells about Fred Trump is that he was a Horatio Alger, a man who built himself up from nothing during the Depression. In fact, his own father, Fred Trump Sr., was a builder who left a sizable estate, some $30,000. Still, young Fred worked as if he had nothing. He taught his children to work hard too. On Saturdays, Fred Trump took them around as he inspected boiler rooms and spiffed up lobbies. His daughter Maryanne Trump Barry, now a federal judge in Newark, recalls how her father reacted when she took a day off after weeks of work: ''But what will the other judges say?''
A tall, vigorous and imposing man with a square chest and prominent cheekbones, Fred Trump was intensely competitive; he scoffed when a rival used the wrong colored brick to patch a wall. ''He didn't like wimps,'' says John Walter, his nephew. ''He thought competition made you sharper.''
Trump's eldest son, Freddy Jr., did not meet his tough standards. Handsome and fun-loving, Freddy wanted to fly airplanes and deep-sea fish. He wasn't interested in the family business, and he and his father quarreled. Freddy drank himself to death at 43. Donald drank in the lesson of his brother's life and never touched a drop of liquor. Never smoked, never touched coffee.
In Donald, the father found a spirit as large as his own, albeit more devilish. The two thrived on one another. Donald worked for a time with his father in the humble Trump Organization offices on Avenue Z in Coney Island and observed his father's careful business habits. Fred Trump would ask his contractors to get their bills to him by the 20th so he could pay them by the 30th, so they would have the cash to pay their own bills by the 10th of the following month in order to get the 2 percent discount from suppliers.
When Fred built Trump Village on the water, three blocks from his office, he put up a shanty on the job site as an interim office, so that he could always see what was going on rather than have to come three blocks. One day, Donald came into his father's office to find him fiddling around with what looked like a broken push broom. It turned out you could get it cheaper in two sections. ''I learned by osmosis,'' Donald says.
Donald helped his father on deals for a piece of Starrett City and to get into Forest Hills. The fancier parts of Queens were a big psychological leap for Fred Trump, and when his son declared in the early 1970's that he was going into Manhattan, it frightened him. ''New York -- who can work in New York? -- that's impossible,''' his daughter Elizabeth Trump Grau remembers him saying. ''Donald had to prove himself to my father. And in that regard, Donald proved him wrong.''
In a sense, Donald was just doing what his father had done. Fred Trump always had an eye for distressed gems that people were not managing well. He would go to the owner and say, You're obviously having problems here. The challenge of making it right fulfilled him. When Donald Trump started driving around Manhattan, the whole city was distressed. Even the Chrysler Building was going begging. His father helped to capitalize him in these early projects -- though Donald plays down the help. ''The money he would give me was very little, very little,'' Donald says. Certainly his dad's connections helped him out. Once when a cement contractor had given Fred Trump a $900,000 bill, he cut a $1 million check, just for the pleasure of handling such a sum, and hand-delivered it to the contractor. That same cement contractor later poured the Trump Tower in Manhattan.

The club was formed in 1938 as the Hamilton Movie Club. Only one of the founding members (John J. Carey, FRPS, FSCA) (Passed Away 2010) still came as an active member, but several others have seen the progression from 16 mm. through 8 mm., Super8, and now video. Today most members use video in various formats but a handful still work occasionally in film, and many have carried their film roots into the new era.
Membership fluctuates, of course, but currently about forty members, from as far afield as Brantford, Markham, Niagara Falls, Simcoe, Toronto, Welland, Woodstock, and even Barrie, attend twelve regular meetings on the first Thursday of every month at the:

Studio Ghibli proves they are still the masters of animation even without the esteemed Hayao Miyazaki at the helm.
Asahi: 3D films of Mario, Zelda, other games may be a few years away.
This delicately crafted story is ideal for viewers who want to change themselves for the better but just need to take that daunting first step.
The animation is set to air later this week ahead of the new game's release—and you can watch a preview of it right here!
If you love cute things and anime, you must watch this GIF!
If you've seen all of these, then count yourself among the most elite of Ghibli otaku.
Preview leaves us wanting to see so much more of the planned series.
You're gonna lose a lot of lives on this one…
Even though it was written 12 years ago, What Happens Before War still serves as a cautionary tale, and this brand new short film is helping to take it to a whole new generation.
This awesome-looking original mecha anime from Taiwan is killing it on the Asian equivalent of Kickstarter.
In an era of executions and forced suicides, this is one presentation you wouldn't want to doze off in.
When we're down in the dumps, there's nothing like a cute animal to get us back in a good mood. While cats are the undisputed overlords of internet animal therapy, there's one little bunny that's bringing a smile to thousands of Twitter users in Japan with nothing but some adorable dancing skills and a pole.
It's been 30 years since Studio Ghibli began producing the adorable characters, inspiring storylines and amazing animated scenes that we all know and love. The warmth of the animation house's distinctive style has created worlds so captivating it's almost as if our favourite characters might continue on their journey after the credits finish rolling to live in an alternate animated Ghibli universe alongside our own.
So what if there were a way to catch up with all our Ghibli friends to see how they've been getting along? Which stories would fans like to explore further, decades after they were originally created? If semi-retired director Hayao Miyazaki ever needed a reason to come back to making movies full-time, he might like to consider the following list of five Ghibli sequels Japanese moviegoers would most like to see.
DBZ Tribute is an upcoming animation that aims to pay tribute (the hint's in the name) to the work of Akira Toriyama. A team of professional artists have come together to create a computer-generated animated sequence as a homage to the creator of Dragon Ball.
It's not an official project, but if the production values in these teasers are anything to go on, it's going to be a really high-quality "tribute".
Despite what some people might think, animation is not, and never has been, "just kids' stuff." Many adults around the world enjoy watching animated works, and Japanese anime in particular has raised the genre to an art form, with many masterpieces crafted to elicit raw human emotion in viewers while dealing with a multitude of adult themes. In other words, there are plenty of animated works of art out there that aren't just for quieting crying children.
Some animators spend their lives crafting these sophisticated animations, but every now and then a work comes along that far surpasses even the highest expectations of quality. In their latest video, CineFix decided to pay tribute to ten such animated films whose visuals are so far ahead of the game that they deserve special recognition. The list features movies released between 1926 and 2014, but can you guess what they are?
Singapore is an island country so small you can barely see it on the world map. But despite its modest size, Singapore is among the most globalised countries you'll ever visit, one of the world's major commercial hubs, and sees over 15 million tourists each year. And no, in case you were wondering, Singapore is not a part of China.
Some of you may have visited the city-state on a vacation or business trip, but do you know Singapore beyond its modern, bustling cityscape? In celebration of the nation's 50th National Day, animation director Ervin Han and team created a 16-minute animation that looks back at the 80 years of ups and downs Singapore went through to get to where it is today. Get your history crash course after the break!
Regular readers will remember that we recently reported about an exhibit featuring life-size recreations of sets from the most recent Studio Ghibli film, When Marnie Was There. Well, the exhibit has proved to be so popular that they've decided to do it all over again, this time in Aichi Prefecture.
But being Ghibli, they can't just do the exact same exhibit twice. This time, in addition to featuring life-size sets, they'll also have artwork and props from every single Ghibli film, going back 30 years all the way to Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.
Hayao Miyazaki, the world-famous (supposedly retired) director and face of Studio Ghibli, is currently working on his first ever fully computer-generated movie, it has been revealed.
Each era of pop culture at some point has to go through the uncomfortable transitional period where it's too old to be trendy and too new to be retro. Right now it's the '80s turn in the hot seat, with the decade's movies, music, and fashion facing harsh judgement by modern standards.
But for all its glitzy cheese (gleese?), the 1980s gave us two landmark animation events, with anime classic Akira debuting in theaters in 1988 and The Simpsons premiering on American television in 1989. Akira's animated version began and ended with its single movie, while The Simpsons is still chugging along nearly 600 episodes later, but that doesn't mean they can't blend together awesomely, as shown in this trailer for the Bartkira project that combines that tosses the cast of Matt Groening's most famous work into the world of Katsuhiro Otomo's.

The folks of McConnells, S.C., have Ivory Latta pegged. In newsprint, North Carolina's 5'6" All-America guard is always "scrappy" or "speedy" or some other cartoonish modifier. But in McConnells (pop. 330), they've got a better word for her: country. As in, "She's as country as a turnip green." They use it to describe her off-the-court demeanor, but it works just as well for her game, a mix of small-town resourcefulness and guileless exuberance. Country. That's how they put it in the two-stop-sign town, where locals who have tracked her since middle school drop into the post office/town hall/fire station to pin news clippings and photos about Latta on the corkboard that hangs by the mail slot.
Latta has a slightly different way of putting it: "I'm McConnells in everything I do."
The hustle that earned her ACC Player of the Year honors and made her a national TV attraction was honed against all the guys from McConnells—not to mention nearby York and Rock Hill—who visited the asphalt court that Charles Latta built alongside his house for the youngest of his seven children. When Ivory was in high school, Charles added lights and mom Chenna made hot dogs and lemonade for everyone so the weekend games could go until 10 p.m. Since Latta's senior year at York Comprehensive, when she won both the boys' and girls' scoring titles, no one can drive to the Latta homecourt without passing signs that read: "Welcome to McConnells, Home of Ivory Latta."
Yeah, this town is 100% behind its tomboy homecoming queen. A caravan of chartered buses and cars makes the three-hour drive to Chapel Hill for big games. They cheer the headfirst dives that hurt a little less on pine than they do on asphalt, and continue to marvel at the midshin crossover that once rocked locals twice her size and age and now schools the women of the ACC.
From tip to buzzer, the Tarheels shove the pace with an intensity that's hard to match. Behind their reckless, wide-eyed leader, they average 79 possessions along with 87.8 points, tops in the country. "What team can run with Ivory for a full game and still defend four starters over 6'1"?" asks coach Sylvia Hatchell. So far, just Duke. Latta's leadership has fueled UNC's 24—1 start, the loss coming against the nation's No. 2-ranked defensive team.
Latta's internal metronome has always been set to breakneck. In grade school, the only way she could dunk on the Nerf hoop hooked to the top of her bedroom door was to launch herself from the bunk bed on the other side of the room. In the ninth grade, Latta bartered a good report card for a dirt bike. "She'd open up the throttle and find every hill she could," says Charles, a supervisor at Duke Energy. "When it broke, her mother and I decided it should stay broke."
That recklessness influences her fearless forays in the lane and from the arc (6.9 threes per game). It's a one-two punch she picked up watching tapes of Pete Maravich as a kid, a combo that has the best coaches in college basketball rethinking strategies. UConn's Geno Auriemma, who'd been dusted by Latta in two previous games, ran a fourguard lineup in their recent meeting. The move held Latta to 4-for-13 shooting and forced a seasonhigh eight turnovers. But when UConn erased UNC's 15-point lead, Latta flung a dagger from the top of the key with a minute left to ice the game. "She does so many impossible things that you think, Why can't I?" says forward Erlana Larkins.
Latta comes from a small town, but she's built for the big stage. She earned SportsCenter love last season, not so much for decking Tennessee with a three but for flexing at LeBron, who was in the stands, after the shot. At Storrs earlier last season, Latta hit an off-balance three that launched her onto the media table. "I can't believe I just made that," she told press row.
She brings out the performer in everyone, too. When a news crew came to campus last season, Latta coerced the camera-shy Larkins to do a twostep on the air. "I don't know how she got me to do that," Larkins says. A few weeks later, Latta convinced her rigid coach to join in the team's A-Town stomp after their Elite Eight win. "That's just the effect she has on people," Larkins says.
An effect that shows on the stat sheet. Latta's numbers are down (16.0 ppg vs. 18.4 last year), but three of her floormates are averaging double figures. Of course, this team is not going anywhere without her. When Latta tore up her knee in last season's Final Four game against Maryland, everyone knew UNC's title hopes were shredded with it. In a rematch win this January, Latta dropped a season-high 32. And that loss to Duke came on a night when Latta had a meltdown, shooting 0-for-11 from the arc. "That won't happen again," she says.
In case she needs an added incentive: The ACC champ will likely play the first and second rounds of the NCAA Tourney in Raleigh and the regionals in Greensboro, which means UNC could get to the Final Four without leaving North Carolina. That would suit Latta just fine. "The closer I am to McConnells," she says, "the happier I am."
Not that she's ever too far away.

This is a fresh tasting dish that is easy to put together. I used d'anjou pears because they keep their crunch and it was a good choice. Apple juice was what we had on hand instead of wine. I thought that the ginger was going to overpower the dish but it was just the right amount. Served on a bed of Nif's Simple Parmesan Pappardelle Pasta. Made for 2009 Faves. Thanks Chef at Heart! :)
Outstanding! A perfect balance of sweet and savory. I served it with Noodles With Poppy Seeds & Peas and Microwave Acorn Squash. A delightful meal.
5 Stars! DH and I loved this, it's been requested for a repeat appearance soon. The pears are so much more subtle than apples. Everything went together quickly as expected. I used canned lite pears (14 oz can had the equivalent of 2 1/2 pears) because I didn't want to wait for fresh pears to ripen, and that choice obviously did not detract from our enjoyment. First round of photos from which to select are on view at http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=270334. Made for Please Review My Recipe. Thank you for posting.

How to Cut Laminate
Cutting laminate refers to the first step in installing a new counter or bar-top, sizing a custom floor, or accenting other interior areas of your home. This does not have to be a job reserved only for professionals. In fact, accomplishing this home improvement task on your own will save you a bundle in installation charges. Follow these steps to guide you as you learn how to cut laminate.
1Measure the installation area and purchase your laminate.
- Laminate is only available in stock sheets that are 4 feet (1.22 M) by 12 feet (3.66 M), so you'll have to cut the laminate to size.
2Create a template for use in sizing the installation area.
3Trace the dimensions onto a piece of cardboard and use a utility knife to cut out the pattern. Turn the laminate over and mark your cut line on the back.
- This guarantees an accurate measurement since you'll know the exact size and shape you'll need to cut.
4Select the proper cutting tool for the job. The most efficient tool is usually a table saw with an extremely sharp blade.
5Position the material so it is turned upside down and run the laminate through the blade rather than moving the blade through the laminate.
6Proceed with the following steps when installing laminate on a counter, cabinet door, shelf or bar-top.
7Trim the edges of the newly installed laminate.
8Apply laminate tape.
9Matching laminate tape is easy to apply as it is already pre-glued. You can also elect to purchase trim pieces, which you glue yourself.
10Verify that the laminate is properly bonded with the surface.
11Unroll the tape along the edge of the material, cutting it off at about 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08cm) past the ends.
12Use an iron, at the highest setting, to activate the glue once you've verified that the tape is applied evenly to the edges.
- Be sure to keep the iron moving constantly to avoid scorching the tape.
13Use a small roller to be curtain that the glue is evenly applied. Trim the excess tape from the edges.
14Continue with the following steps to finish the installation with wood or laminate trim.
15Cut the trim to the exact length of the laminate and then secure it by applying a minimal amount of glue to the edge.
16Press the trim piece onto the surface ensuring that it is even along the entire edge.
17Hold the trim in place while the glue dries by using a few pieces of making tape.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- A carbide-tipped blade, with as many teeth as possible, is the best way achieve the cleanest edge.
- Layering a few strips of masking tape over your cut line will reduce the chance of chipping the edges of the laminate when you cut.

Flu Treatment Urged for Pregnant Women
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday that pregnant women with flu-like symptoms should be treated with antiviral drugs Tamiflu or Relenza to guard against serious complications of H1N1 influenza.
The recommendation was highlighted in the agency's daily H1N1 update as the number of confirmed H1N1 influenza cases in the U.S. topped 3,000. The CDC said there have been 3,009 H1N1 cases in 44 states and Washington, D.C., with an additional 600 "probable" cases.
Anne Schuchat, the CDC's interim deputy director for its science and public-health program, said the agency has seen "some serious complications" with the H1N1 influenza virus in pregnant women and is recommending that pregnant women who are suspected of having any type of flu be given an antiviral drug. One of the three deaths in the U.S. from the new H1N1 influenza virus to date was in a pregnant women.
Drugs like Tamiflu, by Roche Holding AG, and GlaxoSmithKline PLC's Relenza have been shown to reduce the spread of the flu virus in the body and are most effective if given within 12 to 48 hours of the onset of symptoms.
Flu symptoms include fever with a cough or sore throat, and often body aches. The CDC has said antiviral treatment should be reserved for patients with more severe illnesses, as well as those in high-risk groups for complications such as young children and people with certain underlying health problems like diabetes and heart disease.
However, Ms. Schuchat said pregnant women could be more vulnerable to the H1N1 virus because the virus has been seen more often in younger people. In a separate statement issued Monday by the World Health Organization, the agency said the H1N1 virus appears to be more contagious and is affecting young people more often than typically seen with seasonal influenza.
The CDC is also recommending that doctors consider antiviral treatment for young children and babies though antiviral drugs aren't approved for use in children who are younger than one.
Being pregnant increases the risk of complications such as pneumonia and dehydration from influenza, whether it's seasonal flu or the H1N1 flu.

Product Description
From the Back Cover
The last decade has witnessed an exciting change in our understanding of the way in which the mind operates the reasons behind a myriad of human behaviours. The traditional idea that nurture trumps nature in explanations of human behaviour has been supplanted by Evolutionary Psychologists, who argue that human beings share evolved mental architectures that govern their behaviour. Indeed, Evolutionary Psychological explanations have been postulated for all manner of human behaviour, from mate choice preferences to jealousy, cheater detection to suicide bombing. Yet, not all research groups are in agreement with this perspective: some authors have challenged the Evolutionary Psychological focus on biological or genetic explanations of behaviour, while others suggest that the Evolutionary Psychological paradigm is methodologically flawed. To be sure, it is now possible to find critiques of Evolutionary Psychology from different viewpoints, and a common theme shared by such critiques is that an evolutionary approach to psychology is welcome but not sufficient. This volume, which will serve as an introduction to evolutionary approaches to psychology, will bring together seminal work in the field and explore the ways in which evolutionary psychological research can illuminate our understanding of human behaviours and nature. Together, the chapters in this volume will present a fresh perspective on evolutionary approaches to psychology, critically evaluating the extant literature while maintaining the need for evolutionary psychologies.
Most introductions to evolutionary approaches to psychology tend to take an uncritical stand, stemming from what has been dubbed 'Evolutionary Psychological' viewpoints. The current volume begins from the same vantage point – that an evolutionary psychology is required – but nevertheless critically examines the extant literature from different evolutionary perspectives (e.g., developmental systems sciences, evolutionary biology, evolutionary developmental psychology, cultural studies, etc). The list of potential authors (see attached document) has been compiled to reflect this critical approach.
About the Author
Viren Swami trained as an evolutionary psychologist, and for his doctorate examined the roles that body shape and weight play in judgements of physical attractiveness across cultures. Viren's current research in the area focuses on the influence of evolution, culture, and individual psychology on perceptions of human beauty, and his work has been widely discussed in national and international media. Viren is also currently conducting research in other fields of interpersonal attraction, including identifying predictors of positive body image, the effect of romantic love on partner perceptions, weight-based discrimination, and the history of beauty in art and sculpture. Other current projects include research on sociocultural adjustment among sojourners, and cross-cultural differences in lay beliefs about various topics, including intelligence, conspiracy theories, mental illness, and extraterrestrial life.

DEFINITION of 'Montreal Exchange'
A Canadian derivatives exchange that facilitates the trading of stock options, interest rate futures and options, as well as index options and futures. Located in Montreal, Quebec, it is the country's main financial derivative market, while the Winnipeg Commodities Exchange in Manitoba is the home to Canadian commodity derivative trading.
BREAKING DOWN 'Montreal Exchange'
The equity option trading on the Montreal Exchange covers most of the larger Canada-traded companies but is not as broad as the U.S. options markets. The interest rate derivatives cover short-term banker's acceptances ranging from the overnight rate to the three-month rate and two- and ten-year Canadian Government Bonds. The index futures and options cover the S&P Canada 60 index and several S&P/TSX sector indexes.

The IRS and SEC may be involved in the discovery phase of the class action lawsuit, and that's it. Just called in to review a few things. Definitely no investigation. Or else they would report it and so would EBIX. Is it that simple folks? Yes, it is. And Sam Antar is telling his contacts in the media and Danny "Section 8" Yu otherwise. That is what is going on here folks. I hope the fraudster that is Sam Antar goes down for this. You would have thought he learned his lesson the last time he was convicted as a felon for securities fraud.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
When you say "Definitely no investigation. Or else they would report it and so would EBIX.", you do know that the SEC virtually never announces the commencement of an investigation nor will they confirm one, right? At the conclusion, if there's a settlement or a civil or criminal complaint, that will be announced. As far as the company quickly announcing an investigation, it would be nice if they did, but it's apparently not a requirement. MCP waited three months to publicly announce that they had been notified they were under SEC investigation.
If he's involved, he'll squeal like a pig and get off with a slap on the wrist just like last time.

Khan began working with Roach after a devastating loss to Breidis Prescott in 2008. In the same stable as pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao, the Bolton-born fighter began to fight regularly out of the US, rehabilitated his career, and became a world champion under Roach.
However, he split with the coach after a controversial defeat to Lamont Peterson was followed by a devastating loss to Danny Garcia in July, when he was stopped in four rounds.
He said of Roach: "It's hard to see him older and getting worse. Freddie, with the Parkinson's disease, he was struggling with instructions and couldn't move as well."
Roach, who has been named trainer of the year for three of the last four years, hit back at Khan's comments, saying that his camp had asked him to concentrate on Khan solely before then leaving his stable.
"If that was true (that my Parkinson's was an issue), why would he say to me fire Manny Pacquiao and (Julio) Chavez Junior and they would keep me?" said Roach in response to Khan's comments.
"Him, his father, his lawyer and his uncle all said that. It had nothing to do with Parkinson's. Parkinson's had nothing to do with it. They know that. And I wish them the best of luck."
After being criticised for bringing up the Parkinson's, Khan looked to backtrack and clarify his relationship with Roach on Twitter.
"Hey guys I didn't say @FreddieRoach is a bad trainer, he's 1 of the best out there and took my career to a high winning 2 world titles," Khan wrote.
"I blame myself for the losses in my career. Not blaming @FreddieRoach or anyone. I just needed a change."
The 25-year-old will make his first appearance under the tutelage of his new coach – Virgil Hunter – against Carlos Molina in Los Angeles on December 15th.
Hunter was voted trainer of the year in 2011 after helping Andre Ward to win the Super Middleweight 'Super Six' championship with a dominant points victory over Britain's Carl Froch.
