NEW YORK (Reuters) - A former Morgan Stanley broker who tried to blow the whistle on what he called unethical sales practices, and was later ordered to pay $1.2 million following his departure, is seeking his day in federal court.
Mark Mensack filed a lawsuit against Morgan Stanley and Wall Street's top watchdog in a New Jersey federal district court on Friday, accusing the firm of perjury, among other claims. Mensack also found fault with the industry's arbitration hearing process that resulted in the award against him.
"That needs to be brought to light," Mensack said in an interview on Friday, referring to his claim that Morgan Stanley committed perjury. Mensack said his attorney proved that key evidence was fabricated against him during the hearing.
When Mensack sought to review the testimony of the arbitration hearing in hopes of vacating the award, he found that roughly eight hours of the testimony were "destroyed, never recorded or were otherwise missing and unavailable."
"It's an indication of injustice in the system," said Mensack, who is now seeking a trial by jury.
The lawsuit follows a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority panel decision from August 2011 in which the arbitrators ruled in favor of Morgan Stanley and said that Mensack failed to repay money owed on a sign-on bonus after he left the firm.
A FINRA spokeswoman declined to comment.
Mensack, who worked for Morgan Stanley from August 2008 to November 2009, said he was forced to leave the firm after he discovered an illegal "pay-to-play" scheme involving 401(k) assets that the company administered. He filed a whistleblower suit against the firm in March 2010 in New Jersey Superior Court.
Morgan Stanley one month later filed a "breach of contract" arbitration claim against Mensack, which resulted in the $1.2 million award.
In the 31-page complaint, which included 16 counts and a jury demand, Mensack stated a lengthy list of accusations against Morgan Stanley and FINRA, from ethical violations to impartiality.
Mensack, who was forced to file for bankruptcy, said he suffered "severe emotional and physical distress," as well as financial damage, including the $1.2 million award against him and "extensive" attorneys fees and costs during the proceedings.
Morgan Stanley called Mensack's claims "baseless" and said in a statement that he "had a full opportunity to present (the claims), represented by counsel, in an extensive hearing."
"The arbitration panel gave them fair consideration and rejected them in their entirety," the company said in an emailed statement on Friday. "They correctly concluded that his claims did not excuse his loan obligation, and ordered Mr. Mensack to re-pay it, along with Morgan Stanley's attorneys' fees."

The boost documentation from boost.org is very irritating in the sense that there are rarely examples that cover the common use-cases so that a new user can simply cut-and-paste then modify. Instead, the examples in the boost.org docs almost always show some nifty but little used feature having nothign to do with the one use case that covers 90% of everyone's needs. The boost asio examples are this way.
It would be very nice indeed to see a boost asio example that covers the 90% use case that has the following features:
a) async tcp client and thread-pool tcp server
b) hostname lookup with timeout
c) timeout on attempt to connect
d) keep alive heart beat and timeout
e) messaging with a fixed-length header, variable length payload, and checksum
I know that various pieces of this are actually scattered about in the examples, but pulling it all together for a newb can be challenging.
Looking forward to buying the book, hopefully with the above.

Previously we mentioned about Jointech JL7100 that appeared as the cheapest netbook for consumer market, now seems that LanYu, a Chinese company based in ShenZhen has developed an even cheaper netbook product targeted for those that are tight of budget but still looking for a lightweight and good companion while traveling around. Named as LY-EB01, it is currently retailed at 666 RMB, or equivalent to $98 and is known to be the world's cheapest machine in netbook market.
The machine, measured at only 213mm X 142mm X 30.8mm and weighted around 600 gram is quite suitable for carrying around. Don't expect it to be embedded with Intel Atom X86 based processor that is quite pricey, the new product is based on ARM solution, an AK7802Q216 processor clocking at 266MHz that managed to keep the BOM (Bill of Material) cost down. Supported by a 128MB RAM and further equipped with WiFi technology, it ensure a sufficient processing power for normal office applications, as an ebook device or as an netbook device with seamless connectivity to network for web browsing activities. More importantly, the 7-inch display with 800 X 480 resolutions is at least on par with some of the common netbook design in the market but at a cheaper price.
While it may start with its local market first, there could be a plan to sell the units to overseas market in view of greater business opportunity, which eventually bring a good value of ARM core processor, competing against Intel X86 architecture solution in this price sensitive market space.

Living Is Easy With Eyes Closed
Ignorance and arrogance; the two most devastating characteristics of humanity. These two simple traits are the roots to nearly all conflicts, whether a domestic spat between loved ones or in raging wars, the persecution of an entire people, or mass genocide. The astounding and innovative Simon and Garfunkel hit, "The Sound of Silence" has crossed borders of both nations and ideals in its haunting harmonies, resonating lyrics, and its looming sense of doom when describing the fatal flaws that all humanity possesses. Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, childhood friends growing up in a Jewish neighborhood in Queens in the 50's, first formed their musical duo as teenagers. "The Sound of Silence" was released on the duo's debut album "Wednesday Morning 3 A.M." in 1964, which for about two years was unrecognized, until its rerelease in 1966. From then on, "The Sound of Silence" has continued to touch new people each generation thanks to…

Hussein Askary, founding board member of the Belt and Road Institute of the Sweden(BRIX), coauthored an article The Necessity of Redefining "Sustainable Development" as "Sustained Development"! The Belt and Road and Apollo Program: Sources of Inspiration with Jason Ross, Editor in Chief of the 21st Century Science and Technology, in which they introduce Chinese President Xi's philosophy of development and the Belt and Road Initiative. The following is a short excerpt from the article:
The announcement of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) by Chinese President Xi Jinping in late 2013, which was a breakthrough for the New Silk Road policy adopted by China since 1996, transformed China's development policy into a global strategy, an all-inclusive initiative for all nations, without exception, to join and to shape. The BRI hinges on the construction of infrastructure mega-projects whose scale has not been seen in the world since the U.S. New Deal before World War II, the post–World War II reconstruction of Germany, and the U.S. space program of the 1960s.
The 6 Corridors of the Economic Belt of the New Silk Road (A-F) and the Maritime Silk Road (F) which were announced by President Xi in 2013. The other global transcontinental corridors were envisioned by the Schiller Institute as early as 1992. Credit: Belt and Road Institute in Sweden (BRIX)
The BRI is based on the solid foundation of China's own economic miracle in the past few decades, and is backed by the entirety of the massive financial, technological, human resources base, and political power of China. It has evolved from a national Chinese project of economic development and industrialization into a massive intercontinental initiative for connectivity and economic cooperation, an initiative that more than 120 nations have joined so far. The BRI is already becoming the biggest economic undertaking in the history of mankind. The developing sector nations, many of which enjoy massive geographical advantages and human and natural resources, are poised to reap major benefits from this global initiative.
The fact that China is sharing its amazing experience of industrialization and development of the past three decades with the rest of the world is a key element of success.
Through the BRI, China is offering the rest of the world its know-how, experience, and technology, backed by a $3 trillion financial arsenal. This is a great opportunity for West Asia and Africa to realize the dreams of the post–World War II independence era, dreams that have unfortunately been sabotaged for decades. The dramatic deficit in infrastructure both nationally and inter-regionally in West Asia and Africa can, ironically, be considered in this new light as a great opportunity. Although many other industrial nations in Europe, Asia and the Americas have technological and labor capabilities similar to those of China, they lack the vision and political will to apply these capabilities and to finance their use. Since West Asia and Africa are such strategically important areas for both East and West, it is, therefore, a perfect place for bringing the capabilities of the nations of the world into one concrete project of peaceful cooperation and development.

14 displaced after apartment fire on Hillmoor Drive in Port St. Lucie
PORT ST. LUCIE — American Red Cross representatives are helping 14 people who were displaced after an apartment fire Tuesday afternoon.
The St. Lucie County Fire District received a call about an apartment on fire at 2:07 p.m. Tuesday, said Brenda Stokes, agency spokeswoman.
Port St. Lucie police spokeswoman Sgt. Lisa Carrasquillo said the fire started in a unit in the Waterleaf Apartments & Townhomes complex, 1900 Hillmoor Drive in Port St. Lucie.
More:Vehicles, houses hit by gunfire in Port St. Lucie neighborhood, police say
Units on either side of the flaming apartment had smoke damage.
All three apartments were evacuated, as well as other units in the building because Florida Power & Light turned off the electricity when the fire started.
The blaze began in the kitchen when a person left a pot of hot oil on the stove unattended, Carrasquillo said.
Stokes said the fire was considered accidental.
No further information was available Tuesday afternoon.

TEF Spaghetti Supper Winners
Angie Sheehan
Monday, November 13, 2017
The Teutopolis Education Foundation purchased books from the Wild, Wild West Book Fair for the three homerooms who had the highest attendance at the TEF Spaghetti Supper. Mrs. Jessica Schackmann's 4th grade homeroom finished in 3rd place. Mrs. Carla Jansen's 2nd grade homeroom finished in 2nd place. The 1st place winner was... Mrs. Jodi Kinkelaar's 3rd grade homeroom!!
You can't judge a book by it's cover; but judging by the smiles on the children's faces, we'd say they are all pretty excited about those books! Thank you to the Teutopolis Education Foundation for our new books!


text: San Francisco, CA, USA - May 26, 2017 - We live in an era of massive public marches and standing-room-only town hall meetings. People today expect opportunities to actively engage with the legislators who govern them and the companies they do business with. Change.org performs functions that are key to a healthy democracy - functions that were once mostly the domain of daily newspapers and other traditional news outlets. It informs its users about issues and developments that are of local, national, and even global relevance. It gives a megaphone to marginalized and disenfranchised communities. Its users and petition starters hold powerful interests accountable.

A luminescence excited in a body by some form of electromagnetic radiation incident on the body. The term photoluminescence is generally limited to cases in which the incident radiation is in the ultraviolet, visible, or infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum; luminescences excited by x-rays or gamma rays are generally characterized by special names. The graph of luminous efficiency per unit energy of the exciting light absorbed versus the frequency of the exciting light is called the excitation spectrum. The excitation spectrum is determined by the absorption spectrum of the luminescent body, which it often closely resembles, and by the efficiency with which the absorbed energy is transformed into luminescence.
