From the Boston Tea Party to its modern-day namesake, tax protests are wired into the DNA of American history. Everyone, it seems, likes to complain about taxes, even if most pay them. There have been famous examples of those who refused to pay, like Al Capone.
The permanent creation of the income tax in 1913 is a particular source of anger for many. Some have turned to violence, others to politics. Either way, the protests have caught the public's attention and spurred heated debates over the last 250 years. No matter any short-term-gains, in the long run taxes have continued to spur anger and dread.
Here is AdvisorOne's look at 7 Key Tax Protests That Shook America:
1. Stamp Act, 1763
The first tax protest in Colonial America was aimed at the 1765 Stamp Act, which was approved by the British Parliament to pay for troops stationed in North America. It mandated the use of official "stamped" paper for legal documents, newspapers, bills of lading and other written instruments. The Colonists were incensed, arguing that a direct, internal tax was beyond reasonable.
Protests by colonial governments like Virginia, along with the writings of future revolutionaries John Adams and Patrick Henry fell on deaf ears. In Boston and New York, the stamp master was hanged in effigy. The Boston protests escalated, with a mob destroying a government official's home. After months of debate leaving colonists caught between disobeying the crown and violating their own principles, Parliament repealed the Stamp Act.
2. Boston Tea Party, 1773
The next step toward revolution was the passage of the Tea Act in 1773. The law was intended to help the East India Co. by allowing the tea leaves to be sold at prices below smugglers' rates. It added a tax, which British authorities thought wouldn't be onerous since the price of the tea would be so low. That was a miscalculation.
On three occasions, colonists dressed as Indians dumped tea into Boston harbor while it waited to be unloaded. The authorities in London were furious: How dare the colonists destroy property! In response, the so-called Intolerable Acts promised a crackdown on protests in the Colonies. One of them closed the port of Boston until the East India Co. was reimbursed. The acts were the last step to revolution.
3. Whiskey Rebellion, 1791-1794
All governments need revenue to conduct business. The new American Congress was no different. They turned to taxes, of course. No matter that unpopular levies had spurred the Revolution. The Treasury secretary, Alexander Hamilton, proposed an excise tax on liquor in 1791.
The farmers of Western Pennsylvania had found that turning their grain into whiskey made it easier to transport and enabled it to be used in lieu of hard money. Protests grew after a bill to enforce the legislation was approved by Congress. Harking back to not-so-distant Colonial times, 500 protesters marched on and burned the home of a regional tax inspector. The president In 1794, George Washington, working under the aegis of Congress, sent 13,000 troops to the area. Without further violence, the Whiskey Rebellion was over. Two people were tried and convicted, but Washington pardoned them. The federal government's tax collection authority was established.
4. California Taxes: Proposition 13, 1978
California's constitution allows for direct votes on nearly any proposed law. For decades, taxes were kept low through the use of propositions. The granddaddy of them all was Proposition 13, which was passed by voters in 1978. Proposition 13 capped property tax hikes at 1% annually and used the purchase price of a property as the taxable amount rather than the assessed value used in most states. Opponents lost court battles aimed at the measure's constitutionality. You might think that the man who led the campaign for Prop 13's passage would be a hero.
But many soured on Howard Jarvis, who had urged many apartment dwellers to vote "yes," telling them that landlords would lower rents because of the tax savings they would enjoy. Landlords kept rents the same while pocketing the tax break.
California fell into a long period of low taxes. Trapped by one budget crisis after another, the state faced serious problems funding schools, prisons and other essential services. Finally, in 2012 voters approved Proposition 30, which raised income taxes on the highest earners and increased the sales tax but left the property tax alone.
And what of Jarvis? The onetime senatorial candidate died in 1986 (after a cameo in the movie farce "Airplane!"), but his legacy lives on: many view him as the father of rent control, which was passed in the wake of the Prop 13 backlash. It turns out Jarvis was working out of the landlords association offices when he campaigned against the property tax.
5. Tax Violence I: Gordon Kahl, 1983
In the last three decades, there have been several instances of tax resisters using violent means to make their point. Two stand out. This spate of attacks linked to tax protests started with Gordon Kahl in 1983. Kahl had stopped paying his income taxes in the late 1960s, declaring that the government was under Communist control. The IRS went after him in the mid-1970s, and he served a year in prison. The sentence didn't deter Kahl, who continued to skip paying income taxes. When U.S. marshals tried to arrest Kahl on Feb. 13, 1983 in Medina, N.D., a shootout ensued. Two law enforcement officials were killed at a roadblock from which Kahl escaped. He was tracked to Smithville. Ark., where on June 3, Kahl and a county sheriff were killed in another shootout. Kahl's wife, son and others who helped him went to prison.
6. Tax Violence II: Joseph Andrew Stack III, 2010
The second violent protest that caught our attention was spectacular. Andrew Stack III perpetrated it in February 2010 when he crashed a small plane into an IRS office in Austin, Texas. The crash killed Stack, a regional director of the agency and injured two others. Stack had filed for bankruptcy 1998, citing $126,000 he owed the IRS. His suicide note cited the bank bailouts, big companies and most especially his troubles with the IRS. His note, which was 3,000 words long, also showed his anger at "wonderful deductions" the IRS refused to allow, according to the Christian Science Monitor. Some in the tax protest movement cheered his method.
7. Tea Party Protests, 2009
Taking their name from those original Boston tax protesters, the collection of groups that came to be known as the Tea Party had a common aim if not central leadership. Opposition to taxes, often in almost any form, binds them together. The exact origins of the movement are the subject of much debate, with various accounts tracing them to Ron Paul's 2008 presidential campaign, a 2009 Seattle protest over the stimulus bill signed by President Barack Obama and a New York protest against state tax policies the same year, among other events.
Never breaking away as a new political party, the Tea Party movement has taken pride in running its far-right candidates as Republicans, often toppling mainstream GOP stalwarts like Sen. Richard Lugar in Indiana or anointing stars like Sarah Palin of Alaska.
Theda Skocpol, a Harvard sociology professor, says the Tea Party will continue to influence the Republican Party. Quoted by the Harvard Crimson, Skocpol says hatred (a self-descriptive term) of Obama was key to the movement's start, but that contrary to what liberal detractors might think, those in the Tea Party are sophisticated and educated.

Foot dusters.
I hate them.
They remind me of those pink ruffled feather Christian Louboutins Carrie Bradshaw wore on the episode of Sex And The City when Miranda went into labour. That was, like, 10 years ago, wasn't it? What is my G thinking???
Here's Gwyneth Paltrow in London last night at the Gambit after-party to support her BFF Cameron Diaz even though there are no pictures of them together. Interestingly enough however, there is a picture of Cam with Elle Macpherson -- two crazy heart bitches with crazy bodies. I've seen men run AWAY from Elle Macpherson she's so, um, forward is probably the most diplomatic way of saying it. And you already know about Cam's romantic style. So can you imagine if these two double-teamed? I wonder if G would bother discouraging it. Some battles you can't win. Best to conserve energy, for when she comes home later having made a fool of herself once again. Cam, I mean. Obviously.

More Accurate + Faster = Better, Right?
Last week, I invited you to consider a hypothetical computer that always computes the product of two
float values as a
double. How should a compiler writer for such a machine implement
float f1 = 0.1, f2 = 10; double d = f1 * f2;
In particular, in the last statement above, is it OK for the implementation to store the double-precision value of
f1 * f2 directly in
d,, or must it round the product to
float and extend it back to
double before storing it?
On most computers, a
double has at least twice as many fraction bits as a
float. On such computers, if we assume that
f1 and
f2 are exact, then the
double value of
f1 * f2 is also exact. Accordingly, if we store the double-precision value of
f1 * f2 directly in
d, we can be confident that the value of
d is the best possible approximation to the exact value of
f1 * f2. If, on the other hand, we round the product to
float, then extend it back to
double, and then store it in
d, the value of
d will generally be slightly incorrect as a result of the rounding.
If the only way to multiply two
float values yields a
double result, then not only does converting that result to
float and back to
double make it less accurate, but it also makes the computation slower. As a result, storing the
double value directly in
d is not only more accurate, but also faster than converting to
float and back.
Moreover, this extra accuracy is a useful way to avoid an important pitfall:
vector<float> v1, v2; // Find the bug in the code below: assert(v1.size() == v2.size()); double sum = 0; auto iter = v2.begin(); for (float x: v1) sum += x * (*iter++);
This code checks that
v1 and
v2 have the same number of elements, then multiplies each element of
v1 by the corresponding element of
v2, adding all of the products together and putting their sum in
sum. This computation is surprisingly hard to do with perfect accuracy; but by using a
double to hold the intermediate sums, the code tries to eliminate one major source of inaccuracy.
Unfortunately, if the computation
x * (*iter++) is rounded to
float, much of the accuracy that might be gained by making
sum a
double is thrown away — and quietly, to boot. In contrast, if the implementation computes
x * (*iter++) as a
double, then the final value of
sum will almost surely be more accurate than it would be if the computation is rounded to
Despite the advantages of an implementation taking advantage of single-precision multiplication yielding a double-precision result, I would like to argue that bypassing the extra steps of rounding the result to
float and then extending it back to
double is wrong from both a theoretical and a practical point of view.,/p>
The theoretical point of view is easy to explain: The C++ standard says that the product of two
float values is a
float, and if the
double result is not exactly equal to any
float, then that product is not being computed correctly. However, this theoretical argument does not immediately answer the question of why a more accurate result should not be preferred. If an implementation can produce a more accurate result than the standard requires, why not do so?
The answer to that question is practical: In this context, consistency trumps accuracy. To see why, consider these statements:
float f = f1 * f2; double d = f;
If the value of
d after these statements is not exactly the same as it would be after
double d = f1 * f2;
then we have the strange situation that the expression
f1 * f2, which the language defines as having type
float, has two different values in different contexts. Such discrepancies can make it dramatically harder to reason about programs, because two different ways of writing a program that have the same meaning as far as the language definition is concerned might wind up with different results in practice.
I encountered just such a discrepancy when I was using a PL/I implementation many years ago. This implementation offered two different compilers, called respectively the optimizing compiler and the checkout compiler. The checkout compiler was designed to enforce all the language rules; the optimizing compiler was intended to generate fast code but to leave open the possibility that incorrect code might quietly generate incorrect results during execution.
I was working on a program that I wanted to be able to test. Accordingly, I ran it on the checkout compiler until I was confident that it did what I wanted it to do. After that, I ran it on the optimizing compiler — and was astonished to find that it gave different results. The whole point of having these two compilers was that if a program passed the checkout compiler, it would be possible to count on the program producing the same results under the optimizing compiler.
The problem turned out to be exactly the one we've been discussing in this article: The PL/I implementation was on a machine on which the only way to multiply two single-precision floating-point numbers yielded a double-precision product, and the optimizing compiler did not shorten that double-precision result to single precision. As a result, the optimizing compiler produced a result that, although theoretically more accurate, was different from the result produced by the compiler that was supposedly enforcing all of the language rules. I reported this discrepancy to the implementors, who eventually told me that they did not consider the compiler's behavior to be a bug because the result was at least as precise as the language required.
What this experience taught me was that "at least as precise" is sometimes just a polite way of saying "loosely specified." Moreover, this loose specification turned what should have been a key verification tool into yet one more piece of software to debug. To put it more succinctly:
In order to know whether your program is producing the right results, you must know what the right results are.
Whenever an implementation has latitude about what results it produces, that latitude makes the whole notion of "the right results" that much harder to nail down.

So she immediately went into meltdown mode. She began screaming, pounding and kicking the door to try to get it open. She woke up Craig and Frank, who somehow decided she was screaming because she was trapped in the bathroom and the ship was sinking. As I went to extricate Marie from the john, Mrs. Grumpy tried to calm down the hysterical boys.
It took us about 10 minutes to get all settled, when the whole thing was set off again by the shrill ring of the telephone. It was security. For the first time ever someone had made a noise complaint about us, and we were warned to be quiet (if I find out it was my sister, she gets to swim home).
I told the kids that they were not to make any more noise until they saw water, smoke, or daylight coming into the cabin.
Today we're in Ketchikan, Alaska. This pretty little town is known as the Salmon Capital of the World, is near Misty Fjords National Monument, and has a remarkable collection of Native American totem polls. It's jammed up against the mountains, so the entire city is 1/4 mile wide and 3 miles long.
So, for all of that, what kind of things would you find on a "genuine Alaskan Shopping Experience" in Ketchikan? Well, the Cruiseship Lines guidebook to the town listed 18 Alaskan shopping experiences. Lets break them down:
13 jewelery stores
2 art galleries
1 place selling clothes that change color in direct sunlight
1 place selling clothes made from bamboo (Get a free bamboo necklace just by yelling "Cariloha!" in public! Wow!)
1 salmon store
How many of you would look at that list and say "Wow! That just screams a small Alaskan town to me!".
Years ago, on our first trip here, Mrs. Grumpy and I paid $100 each for a bald eagle sightseeing excursion.
It was quite impressive, but unfortunately after you get to Ketchikan you realize that bald eagles are freakin' EVERYWHERE, like pigeons back home. They particularly congregate around dumpsters. So it's pretty depressing to realize you shelled out $200 to see something you could have seen for free, just by hanging out behind the Burger King.
My Dad wanted to take us to the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show. In all honesty, prior to this afternoon I had no idea there was such a thing as timbersports. But they handed out a brochure listing their participants in such finger-removing sports as speed sawing, tree climbing/falling, log rolling, and power chainsaw. It noted several of these guys are regional champions or have earned college scholarships in this field. And I had no idea it even existed. It was contrived and touristy, but hey, I'm a tourist here, and it was surprisingly entertaining. Afterwards we walked around the town and tried cupcakes and other local delicacies before returning to base.
After boarding the ship, we stopped for Diet Cokes in the lobby. They were playing a country love song in the background, and I swear the chorus was "I want to check you for ticks." I can only assume the singer's date either had serious hygiene issues, was into something kinky, or was a dog.
We relaxed by the pool this afternoon (I'm now reading "A Confederacy of Dunces"- quite good). Out of the corner of my eye I saw a white ball of fur moving around next to my chair. I absently reached down to pet it and mumbled "Hello, Snowball." I suddenly realized Snowball was back home, and looked up at an Indonesian lady cleaning the deck, who had no idea why a balding American was petting her mop.
As the boys swam, the Smorgasbord's entertainment staff put a beanbag-toss set out by the pool, for anyone to play with. That anyone turned out to be Marie, who decided to play it herself by tossing beanbags back & forth and switching sides.
To my horror her beanbag score was:
Hit the target: 3
Lady in a wheelchair: 1.
People waiting in line for hamburgers: 3
People waiting in line for ice cream: 2
The metal piece over the stage with lights hanging off it: 1
Tossed in pool: 2
Fortunately the staff took away the bowling set before she got interested in that.
My BIL, Dave, signed up to play in the ship's ping-pong tournament. He, and everyone else, were crushed by a guy who travels with his own, specially-made, ping-pong paddle. You have to respect that kind of mindset to take ping-pong so seriously you don't go anywhere without your customized paddle.
As always, there are plenty of photo-ops on the ship. Every night they have different portrait themes. You can have your picture taken with you cheerfully in the woods (surrounded by small stuffed animals), holding firearms in the old west, on the grand staircase of the Titanic, and other pleasant areas.
So as I headed for the dining room I passed a lady in a blue dress. She was keeping a ship's photographer busy with her posing at a piano. As I watched the pictures became increasingly explicit. At first she was just sitting there, smiling. Then sitting with her hand slightly up under her skirt. Then winking and licking the piano. Then licking a long-stemmed wine glass. Then licking the piano, holding the wine glass, and turned so you could see she didn't have any undies on.
My family wanted to know what held me up on the way to dinner. I told them the elevator got stuck.

Angels 25 Man Roster Company
As Spring Training draws to a close the 25 man roster is beginning to take more shape. Jason Isringhausen's up, Mike Trout's down and Bobby Abreu is? Well? Ummm? Now that is the uncomfortable question of the Spring, now isn't it?
Mike Trout, to the surprise of many is headed back down to the AAA for the time being. When Spring Training began, I had hoped for a different outcome. My current dream Angels outfield has Trout and Peter Bourjos in it together. But Mike Trout missed most of Spring Training and was not his normal self for the rest of it following a nasty bout with the flu that to all reports left him physically drained and 15 pounds lighter. Go figure – getting the flu isn't any easier or more fun when you're a professional athlete. So, as much as I'd like to see Trout up with the major league club this season, I can't argue with the idea of leaving him in AAA to heal up and get back into the swing of things. He is only 20 years old after all. No need to rush these things and, besides, I can't imagine the Angels waiting all the way until September call ups to bring him back up again.
And it looks like the Angels' bullpen certainly will not lack for a veteran presence in 2012. The team welcomed Jason Isringhausen to the 25 man roster this week. Do I love the move? Do I hate it? Eh, with Michael Kohn and Bobby Cassevah sidelined with injuries right now, we have the room. I'll reserve love it or hate it judgment until we see which era of his considerable experience Isringhausen is channeling this season, a good year, or?? Yeah.
Which brings us to Bobby. Bobby. Bobby, baby. Bobby, bubbi. Angel, I've got something to tell you… I detested Company, actually, but lately that snippet of recurring refrain keeps popping into my head every time Abreu's name comes up in the news and I think it's because, like the character in the play, there is a big obvious change that needs to happen in his life that he is fighting tooth and nail…to the annoyance of everyone.
As for Company, I might have liked it better if I hadn't sat through six performances of it in one week, all of them featuring two roles so badly overacted that they unintentionally over emphasized the terribly self absorbed nature of so many of the characters. What can I say, too many friends in the Spring main stage that year, too many more friends who hadn't seen them do their thing yet and way too many, impossible to politely turn down comped tickets. Ah, college!
As for Bobby, I know I'd like the situation better if he were accepting it with a little more grace. He is not an everyday player anymore, not in the field anyway. Whenever we put him out there for any length of time, it goes badly. While I am really sorry to say it, he just plain can't move the way he used to in the outfield – even though, surprisingly, he can on the base paths and that is a joy and a half to watch – and when he gets frustrated by this, he throws the ball away once or twice a game. I get it in the sense that I can't even imagine how frustrating it must be for a player of his former caliber with his career stats to have his body missing what his mind and instincts are so strongly willing it to do by just that much. And when Bobby isn't playing in the field every day, his mighty bat gets pretty darned quiet which does mean there isn't a whole lot of workable room on the roster for him.
The comments Bobby made to the Venezuelan press about doubting Mike Scioscia's word that he would see 400 at bats in 2012 were inappropriate no matter when he made them…but they weren't incorrect. Unless something radical happens to the roster and Bobby improves at the plate, I don't see him getting those at bats either. So Bobby's here but, if our big bat, good clubhouse guy, occasional right fielder can't play right field, isn't doing so hot at the plate and is no longer a good clubhouse guy over the whole thing, I think it would be best for all concerned, including Bobby, if he were not here anymore. It's too bad that contract makes him so hard to move – thanks Tony! And even with the pissy attitude of late, I hate writing that. Bobby was great for the Phillies, great for the Yankees and one of my favorite players to watch on the Angels in his first year and change with the team. Like I said at the beginning, very uncomfortable all around.

"One of the biggest trends I see in the next 10 years is the interconnectivity of advice and information overall," Michael Kitces said at the outset of his Sunday afternoon breakout session at FPA Retreat 2013 in Palm Springs, Calif.
Kitces, director of research for Pinnacle Advisory Group (and a regular blogger for AdvisorOne), was joined onstage by Bill Winterberg of FPPad.com and moderator Dan Moisand, the noted planner who is Retreat 2013 task force chair, for "FutureThink: Future Scenarios for the Creation, Delivery and Tracking of Financial Planning."
So what did he mean by the statement?
"Traditionally, financial planners have acted as the 'Wizard of Oz,' Kitces explained. "They've disappeared behind the curtain and emerged a while later with this plan. We all know how often clients would then read that plan, which was seldom."
Kitces compared the adoption of a plan by a client to buying a car. While they might research a car online, they won't buy it until they've taken it for a test drive to test things like the sensitivity of the brakes and the overall comfort they feel.
"That's what they're doing when they're asking us 'What if?' questions," He continued. "They're test driving the plan in all sorts of different scenarios. We take it back and make the requested changes and about the seventh time we do it, they start to get the picture that we're not enjoying it anymore, so they stop asking."
Because they haven't fully test driven the plan, adoption of the plan is typically low, Kitces said.
"But with technology, I can have it up on the screen and make the changes in about 90 seconds, and they can have 11 different iterations if they want. This results in better interaction and engagement, and because they had a hand in developing the plan, better adoption. We didn't cut off their test drives."
Financial planning software was clunky and traditionally not conducive to something like this—but no longer.
Bill Winterberg took over and described the future of financial planning in terms of "game theory," and how advisors will begin using collective research to identify trends.
"Think of fitness apps on phones," he said. "Users can track their own physical activity, but also take advantage of what others are doing and where they fall in relation. Financial activity will be something similar, where an individual who is 40 years old can look to see how his insurance coverage compares with others."
It won't be completely accurate, which is where a qualified advisor would fit, but it at least gives the individual an idea about where they fit in when comparing overall trends.
"Our jobs as advisors are to influence behavior," Kitces interjected. "To change behavior, clients need continual feedback and interaction. Firms say they are high-service because they meet with clients four times a year rather than two. How many people here have ever tried to lose weight by getting feeback only once a quarter? This is where technology can help us. They get a report, but we as advisors get a report as to which of our clients is on target, and which need more help."

No technology is more synonymous with Big Data than Apache Hadoop. Hadoop's distributed filesystem and compute framework make possible cost-effective, linearly scalable processing of petabytes of data. Unfortunately, there are few tutorials devoted to how to get big data into Hadoop in the first place.
Some data destined for Hadoop clusters surely comes from sporadic bulk loading processes, such as database and mainframe offloads and batched data dumps from legacy systems. But what has made data really big in recent years is that most new data is contained in high-throughput streams. Application logs, GPS tracking, social media updates, and digital sensors all constitute fast-moving streams begging for storage in the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). As you might expect, several technologies have been developed to address the need for collection and transport of these high-throughput streams. Facebook's Scribe and Apache/LinkedIn's Kafka both offer solutions to the problem, but Apache Flume is rapidly becoming a de facto standard for directing data streams into Hadoop.
This article describes the basics of Apache Flume and illustrates how to quickly set up Flume agents for collecting fast-moving data streams and pushing the data into Hadoop's filesystem. By the time we're finished, you should be able to configure and launch a Flume agent and understand how multi-hop and fan-out flows are easily constructed from multiple agents.
Anatomy of a Flume Agent
Flume deploys as one or more agents, each contained within its own instance of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Agents consist of three pluggable components: sources, sinks, and channels. An agent must have at least one of each in order to run. Sources collect incoming data as events. Sinks write events out, and channels provide a queue to connect the source and sink. (Figure 1.)
Figure 1: Flume Agents consist of sources, channels, and sinks.
Put simply, Flume sources listen for and consume events. Events can range from newline-terminated strings in
stdout to HTTP
POSTs and RPC calls it all depends on what sources the agent is configured to use. Flume agents may have more than one source, but must have at least one. Sources require a name and a type; the type then dictates additional configuration parameters.
On consuming an event, Flume sources write the event to a channel. Importantly, sources write to their channels as transactions. By dealing in events and transactions, Flume agents maintain end-to-end flow reliability. Events are not dropped inside a Flume agent unless the channel is explicitly allowed to discard them due to a full queue.
Channels are the mechanism by which Flume agents transfer events from their sources to their sinks. Events written to the channel by a source are not removed from the channel until a sink removes that event in a transaction. This allows Flume sinks to retry writes in the event of a failure in the external repository (such as HDFS or an outgoing network connection). For example, if the network between a Flume agent and a Hadoop cluster goes down, the channel will keep all events queued until the sink can correctly write to the cluster and close its transactions with the channel.
Channels are typically of two types: in-memory queues and durable disk-backed queues. In-memory channels provide high throughput but no recovery if an agent fails. File or database-backed channels, on the other hand, are durable. They support full recovery and event replay in the case of agent failure.
Sinks provide Flume agents pluggable output capability if you need to write to a new type storage, just write a Java class that implements the necessary classes. Like sources, sinks correspond to a type of output: writes to HDFS or HBase, remote procedure calls to other agents, or any number of other external repositories. Sinks remove events from the channel in transactions and write them to output. Transactions close when the event is successfully written, ensuring that all events are committed to their final destination.
Setting up a Simple Agent for HDFS
A simple one-source, one-sink Flume agent can be configured with just a single configuration file. In this example, I'll create a text file named
sample_agent.conf it looks a lot like a Java properties file. At the top of the file, I configure the agent's name and the names of its source, sink, and channel.
hdfs-agent.sources= netcat-collect hdfs-agent.sinks = hdfs-write hdfs-agent.channels= memory-channel
This defines an agent named
hdfs-agent and the names of the sources, sinks, and channels; keep the name in mind, because we'll need it to start the agent. Multiple sources, sinks, and channels can be defined on these lines as a whitespace-delimited list of names. In this case, the source is named
netcat-collect, the sink
hdfs-write, and the channel is named
memory-channel. The names are indicative of what I'm setting up: events collected via
netcat will be written to HDFS and I will use a memory-only queue for transactions.
Next, I configure the source. I use a
netcat source, as it provides a simple means of interactively testing the agent. A
netcat source requires a type as well as an address and port to which it should bind. The
netcat source will listen on localhost on port 11111; messages to
netcat will be consumed by the source as events.
hdfs-agent.sources.netcat-collect.type = netcat hdfs-agent.sources.netcat-collect.bind = 127.0.0.1 hdfs-agent.sources.netcat-collect.port = 11111
With the source defined, I'll configure the sink to write to HDFS. HDFS sinks support a number of options, but by default, the HDFS sink writes Hadoop
SequenceFiles. In this example, I'll specify the sink write raw textfiles to HDFS so they can be easily inspected; I'll also set a roll interval, which forces Flume to commit writes to HDFS every 30 seconds. File rolls can be configured based on time, size, or a combination of the two. The file rolls are particularly important in environments for which HDFS does not support appending to files.
hdfs-agent.sinks.hdfs-write.type = hdfs hdfs-agent.sinks.hdfs-write.hdfs.path = hdfs://namenode_address:8020/path/to/flume_test hdfs-agent.sinks.hdfs-write.rollInterval = 30 hdfs-agent.sinks.hdfs-write.hdfs.writeFormat=Text hdfs-agent.sinks.hdfs-write.hdfs.fileType=DataStream
Finally, I'll configure a memory-backed channel to transfer events from source to sink and connect them together. Keep in mind that if I exceed the channel capacity, Flume will drop events. If I need durability in a file or JDBC, channel should be used instead.
hdfs-agent.channels.memoryChannel.type = memory hdfs-agent.channels.memoryChannel.capacity=10000 hdfs-agent.sources.netcat-collect.channels=memoryChannel hdfs-agent.sinks.hdfs-write.channel=memoryChannel
With the configuration complete, I start the Flume agent from a terminal:
flume-ng agent -f /path/to/sample_agent.conf -n hdfs-agent

SPRINGFIELD -- Illinois' 2008 primary election will be Feb. 5, more than a month earlier than previously planned. Gov. Rod Blagojevich signed the legislative proposal into law on Wednesday.
By ADRIANA COLINDRES
SPRINGFIELD -- Illinois' 2008 primary election will be Feb. 5, more than a month earlier than previously planned.
Gov. Rod Blagojevich signed the legislative proposal into law on Wednesday.
Supporters of the February primary date, first proposed by House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, cite a couple of reasons for the change. They say it would boost the prospects of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, a U.S. senator from Illinois, and give the state a greater say in who gets nominated for president.
"Illinois is the fifth-largest state in the country," Blagojevich said in a news release announcing that he had signed House Bill 426. "The people who live here deserve to play a bigger role in deciding who the presidential candidates will be."
Madigan said: "It puts Illinois in the hunt in terms of selecting the nominee of both parties, Democrat and Republican."
Jen Psaki, a spokeswoman for the Obama campaign, said in an e-mailed statement that the earlier primary date "is not something that (Obama) actively lobbied for." Even so, she added, Obama "welcomes the opportunity for his home state to play a role in the nominating process and he is grateful for the base of support he has from friends, family and supporters in Illinois."
A spokesman for the presidential campaign of U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, another top Democratic contender, said the former first lady would not concede Illinois to Obama. Clinton lives in New York but grew up in the suburban Chicago community of Park Ridge.
"We obviously don't have any say in the primary calendar," said Clinton spokesman Mo Elleithee. "So we are just planning to play the cards that are dealt us, and we'll compete wherever there is a primary or a caucus."
"Illinois is important to us. The senator obviously has strong roots in Illinois and is getting tremendous support in Illinois," he added.
California, New York and Georgia are among the states that already have set next year's primary election for Feb. 5, and at least a dozen other states also are considering the same date, which observers have dubbed "Super Duper Tuesday."
Kent Redfield, a political studies professor at the University of Illinois at Springfield, said the earlier date would not make Illinois "the major player" in the presidential nomination process. But the state would have fallen deeper into irrelevancy if it had retained the March primary date, he said.
Mike Lawrence, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University, added: "The odds are much greater that we'll be a major player in February than they were when the primary was in March."
The new law does not apply only to presidential candidates. It also affects candidates for all other public offices on primary-election ballots in even-numbered years, including contenders for U.S. Congress, the Illinois General Assembly, municipal governments and school boards.
The moved-up primary date means that prospective political candidates will have to file their candidacy papers sooner. Candidates who want to run in the 2008 primary will need to file Oct. 29-Nov. 5, said Rupert Borgsmiller, director of campaign disclosure at the Illinois State Board of Elections. If not for the new law, petitions would have been due in early December.
Candidates also will encounter new rules and earlier deadlines when it comes to campaign finance reports.
Semi-annual campaign finance reports, previously due on Jan. 31 and July 31, now will be due on Jan. 20 and July 20, Borgsmiller said. The Jan. 20, 2008, due date will be pushed back to Jan. 22 because the 20th falls on a Sunday and the following day is the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
Candidates no longer will have to file a pre-election campaign finance report for the general primary, Borgsmiller said. But as of Jan. 1, all donations of more than $500 must be reported to the State Board of Elections within two business days.

Dortmund Fertility Centre
Specialist field: Reproductive medicine

Professor Stefan Dieterle, Professor Robert R. Greb & Dr Andreas M. Neuer
Medical Directors of Dortmund Fertility Centre
"It's finally happened! That faint but all-important line on the pregnancy test is there for all to see. We couldn't be happier and wake up every morning with beaming smiles! Thanks so much for taking such good care of us in your practice and for your help in giving us this wonderful feeling of soon-to-be parents!" (Birgit und Jochen G.)
When a longed-for pregnancy does not arrive, it can become a huge emotional ordeal for a couple. In Germany, couples are able to find proven specialist help that uses the latest medical advancements. Fertility treatment in Germany sets an example for others to follow with its high quality standards and documentation of success rates. "In recent years, intensive medical research has brought forth new, state-of-the-art treatment methods which enable us to help even those childless couples for whom there was previously little hope," explains Professor Stefan Dieterle, founder of the Dortmund Fertility Centre in North Rhine- Westphalia.
High success rate
Professor Dieterle is one of three Medical Directors of the North Rhine-Westphalia Fertility Centre, which in addition to Dortmund has sites in Dorsten and Siegen. Together with his partners at the practice, Professor Robert R. Greb and Dr Andreas M. Neuer, the founder of the centre is delighted with the current success rate: "Today, 60 to 80 per cent of all couples who are unable to conceive become parents with our help. This means that since the practice was founded in the late 1990s, our fertility centre has made 7,000 pregnancies possible."
Top medical care – transparent documentation
As an accredited centre for reproductive medicine in Germany, Dortmund Fertility Centre submits itself to strict external quality control measures. Germany was one of the first EU countries to voluntarily set up a register in which all IVF/ICSI artificial fertilisation treatments are precisely documented from the outset. The results are published annually and monitored by the German medical councils.
State-of-the-art reproductive medicine
"Our centre specialises in helping couples who are having difficulties conceiving. Sterility consultations are a key part of what we do," says Dr Neuer. All the latest diagnostic tests and fertility treatments (IVF, ICSI, TESE etc.) are offered at the Fertility Centre. "Although this does not guarantee a pregnancy," continues Neuer, "it enables us to give Mother Nature a helping hand so that it is easier to become pregnant." This does not always mean that artificial fertilisation is required. The assistance of medication and the precise determination of ovulation are often all it takes.
Comprehensive medical expertise with the focus on the person
Dortmund Fertility Centre is involved in the specialist training and development of medical students and practising gynaecologists. The centre has close links with research and teaching at the universities of Münster and Witten/Herdecke in North Rhine-Westphalia. It offers state-of-the-art laboratory equipment and medical technology in a pleasant environment and calls on the services of highly qualified employees in all departments. It is especially important in a fertility centre that the staff have the skills to deal with the person and not just the problem. Professor Greb offers couples trying to conceive the assurance of both: "With our team of doctors, biologists, psychologists, lab technicians and assistants, you are in the best hands when it comes to fertility. We will do everything in our power to help you!"

Work crews will inspect every storm grate and manhole cover on state highways, state transportation officials said Tuesday, following a series of incidents over a four-day period beginning last Friday involving loose grates and manhole covers.
Work crews will inspect every storm grate and manhole cover on state highways, state transportation officials said Tuesday, following a series of incidents over a four-day period beginning last Friday involving loose grates and manhole covers.
On Friday, one man was seriously injured when a 250-pound storm grate flew into the air and smashed through his windshield as he drove on Rte. 128.
Days later, a Logan Express bus was damaged during the Monday-morning commute on I-93 when a loose manhole cover became lodged in the vehicle's wheel well.
Only hours after that incident, and only yards away, two cars were damaged when they hit an open manhole, causing one to spin out, while the second had two blown tires.
Prompted by the series of incidents, Massachusetts Highway Department spokesman
John Lamontagne said the agency is inspecting grates and manholes statewide.
``We began an inspection program in the wake of Friday's incident,'' Lamontagne said Tuesday. ``(We are) starting with construction zones on highways, and we are now expanding that to the catch basins and manholes throughout the state.
``That process includes looking at covers that are both within and outside of the driving lanes. In case they aren't secure, we're taking steps to make sure they are, either through welding or other measures.''
The agency has even set up a hotline for drivers to call if they see storm grates or manhole covers which appear loose.
Though all three incidents occurred on roads overseen by MassHighway, officials from the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority said they plan to conduct similar inspections.
``We are looking at our complete inventory,'' Turnpike spokesman Jon Carlisle said. ``On the western turnpike alone, it's over 4,000 (catch basins.)
``We haven't had this issue, we don't have any reason to be alarmed, but based on what has happened on other roads, we want to make sure we exhibit the appropriate due diligence.''
Though manhole covers can sometimes be dislodged when heavy rains cause stormwater to build up in drainage systems, MassHighway is also investigating exactly how the storm grate was flung into the air before it crashed through Pawel Swierczynski's windshield, leaving him in critical condition.
``We're not sure how that happened,'' Lamontagne admitted.
``Manhole covers becoming dislodged ... it happens from time to time,'' he said. ``Everyone's senses are heightened right now in the wake of the catch basin issue which happened on Friday. (That) was something that was very rare.
``But we want to be extra cautious and ensure our roads are safe and drainage structures are secure, and hence we're in the middle of this program.''
Anyone with concerns about storm grates or manhole covers are encouraged to call MassHighway at #321 on their cell phones or at 888-359-9595.

What You Should Know About Surge Protection in BethanySurge protectors may supply the ideal protection against power surges but it does not offer protection from lightning. If you have a look through any surge protector reviews you are going to observe countless forms of surge protectors for each and every sort of appliance. At the same time that you might know that you need a wall surge protector to your digital appliance, few people know that if you have it installed which is not the last of your worries. Generally speaking, you need to use surge protectors on all sensitive electronics which you would like to keep and use for some time period. For every single electronic device in the home the highest quality AV surge protectors aren't required.
Such devices are somewhat tough to discover. Installing such a system in your home is an expensive proposition. Such a protector procedure is a guaranteed method to keep your house safe. Essentially a surge protection system includes protection to your appliances from surges that last for a couple of seconds or the entire day. No matter the situation, your computer is significant to you and that is why you always should make sure it's protected from any harm. Next, whether you simply work on your computer for a hobby or you also use it for business, you are aware that it'll always be there when you need it as you'll be guarded from any power surges that might happen. When you want to do more to protect you pc and help to keep to keep your whole house safe, you can go on the web to the online site and learn what sort of APC surge protectors you need to buy for your house.
Technology makes life easier. Surge protection technology is an important factor to the lifestyles of the majority of people in the world nowadays, and few know it even exists. Eco-friendly energy technology is among the most promising developments of the past 100 decades, providing the capability to generate electricity for public consumption without the expenses of fuel and without environmental results.
Avoid contaminating the Water Reducing water use is essential, but you must also be mindful of the chemicals you're pouring down the drain. It's possible to eliminate that waste by placing surge protectors wherever they're needed on your premises. Energy saving appliances are just the very first steps to a eco-friendly home. Electricity or power has become the substantial part of our day-to-day life and without electricity we can't imagine a life today. If it comes to power surges, you can't ever be too careful. Power surges in Bethany 73008 happen all of the time in homes and companies. In reality, the energy surge due to lightning will probably damage all the electrical appliances linked to the power supply in your home even the surge protector will be damaged.

As a tried and true kosher carnivore (well, I guess, officially an omnivore), I am always seeking out good parve (non-dairy) desserts. I often substitute margarine for butter, soy milk for regular, but am always excited when I find desserts that are naturally parve, like those that use oil as their shortening As a fan of all things French and searching for a chocolate cake to make for the housewarming of my "sister mother" Judy, the self proclaimed cupcake queen and sweets fan, and her foodie but savory-only baker husband, Bruce, I was thrilled to find this gateau au chocolat in my bistro cookbook.
Sharon O'Connor's Bistro: Favorite Parisian Bistro Recipes, chooses a bistro in each arrondissement and shares some of the chef's signature dishes. I made the cake because I loved the recipe. You might recall I have a little love affair with proper bistros. Proper bistros. And this delightful book chats a bit about each bistro and the environs in which it was raised in the "neighborhood walk" section preceding the recipes:
"The streets of Au Pied de Fouet's seventh-arrondissement neighborhood are lined with foreign embassies and French ministries…. The Musée d'Orsay is a very pleasant fifteen-or twenty-minute walk from au Pied de Fouet. The art museum was originally a train station, built in the late 1800s to serve southwestern France. Orsay houses a major collection of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century art, including many famous Impressionist works. The museum which still retains the open, airy feel of the belle-epoque train stations, is extremely popular with Parisians, as well as art lovers from all over the world."
My affinity for grandiose train stations probably started as early as my teens when I used to travel from DC to Philadelphia to visit my grandmother. I loved the large open-ness of 30th Street Station where Bubbie would always meet me by the statue on the East side of the station. Years later, I toured Western Europe with a Eurail pass and an over-stuffed backpack on wobbly wheels. In my entryway, I have a print of a photo on exhibit at the Musée d'Orsay, especially à propos at this train station-turned-museum.
Luckily this cake is fairly simple, and pardon the cliché, but no matter how many mistakes I made along the way, my gâteau was no train wreck. Yes, yes, groan all you want. That was really bad!
Bistro Chocolate Cake (Gâteau au Chocolat)
Adapted from Sharon O'Connor's Bistro: Favorite Parisian Bistro Recipes. This is a pretty forgiving recipe (just my kind) for a nearly flour-less chocolate cake.
The book says this serves 8, but I can't believe 8 Frenchies would gobble this cake up It's not overly sweet but is quite rich. I believe it serves closer to 10-12.
– 7 oz bittersweet chocolate (chopped) – I didn't have bittersweet, so I used a mix of unsweetened and semisweet
– 6 eggs, separated
– 1/3 C sugar
– 1/3 C unbleached all-purpose flour
– 1 C ground blanched almonds
– 1/4 t salt
– 1/3 C vegetable oil
– 2 t baking powder
– 1 t baking soda
– 8 oz sweet chocolate, chopped (optional)
Preheat oven to 300˚F. Grease the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Prepare the chocolate. In a double boiler (I use a small metal bowl) over barely simmering water (making sure not to let the bottom of the bowl hit the water nor any steam escape or the chocolate will seize), melt the bittersweet chocolate; remove from heat and set aside, allowing to cool to room temperature (don't put in fridge).
Beat the egg whites. Using an electric mixer, beat the 6 egg whites until stiff, glossy peaks form. I cheated a little bit and added a pinch of cream of tartar to aid in the process when my eggs weren't beating so nicely. If you are dependent on your mixer for everything, carefully transfer the whites to another bowl so you can use your mixer again to cream the remaining ingredients.
Prepare the almonds. Since I didn't have any almond meal or pre-ground almonds, I made my own. Place a little over a cup of blanched almond slices into a food processor (I used my mini one) and pulse until you form a fine powder. You will probably need to add some of the ½ C sugar to prevent the almonds from forming almond butter.
Mix everything else together. In a medium bowl, beat the remaining sugar and egg yolks together until thick and pale (by hand, or in your mixer…). Stir in the flour, ground almonds, salt, oil, baking powder, and baking soda, and beat until thoroughly blended. Pour in the warm melted chocolate and stir until mixed. Stir on one-fourth of the egg whites. Gently fold in the remaining whites until thoroughly blended.
Bake. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes (I found 40 minutes to be perfect), or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
The original recipe calls for enrobing the cake in sweet chocolate. I thought this would be too rich. I served it plain and with a fruit salad, but I think it would be perfect with a dallop of spiked whipped cream (or some sort of whipped parve substitute).
Judy loved the cake so much that she took a quarter of the cake for herself and came to my apartment and made a copy of the recipe before I had a chance to post it.
The cakes freezes pretty nicely.

Thomas Stearns Eliot, OM (26 September 1888 – 4 January 1965) was a British essayist, publisher, playwright, literary and social critic, and "one of the twentieth century's major poets".He moved from his native United States to England in 1914 at the age of 25, settling, working, and marrying there. He eventually became a British subject in 1927 at the age of 39, renouncing his American citizenship..Today we like to stand by a great pofile who added to the modern poems a new start and till this moment his renew of writing is taken as the best style for the English poem and literary.
Thomas Stearns Eliot was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on September 26, 1888. He lived in St. Louis during the first eighteen years of his life and attended Harvard University. In 1910, he left the United States for the Sorbonne, having earned both undergraduate and masters degrees and having contributed several poems to the Harvard Advocate.
After a year in Paris, he returned to Harvard to pursue a doctorate in philosophy, but returned to Europe and settled in England in 1914. The following year, he married Vivienne Haigh-Wood and began working in London, first as a teacher, and later for Lloyd's Bank.
It was in London that Eliot came under the influence of his contemporary Ezra Pound, who recognized his poetic genius at once, and assisted in the publication of his work in a number of magazines, most notably "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" in Poetry in 1915. His first book of poems, Prufrock and Other Observations, was published in 1917, and immediately established him as a leading poet of the avant-garde. With the publication of The Waste Land in 1922, now considered by many to be the single most influential poetic work of the twentieth century, Eliot's reputation began to grow to nearly mythic proportions; by 1930, and for the next thirty years, he was the most dominant figure in poetry and literary criticism in the English-speaking world.
As a poet, he transmuted his affinity for the English metaphysical poets of the seventeenth century (most notably John Donne) and the nineteenth century French symbolist poets (including Baudelaire and Laforgue) into radical innovations in poetic technique and subject matter. His poems in many respects articulated the disillusionment of a younger post–World War I generation with the values and conventions—both literary and social—of the Victorian era. As a critic also, he had an enormous impact on contemporary literary taste, propounding views that, after his conversion to orthodox Christianity in the late thirties, were increasingly based in social and religious conservatism. His major later poetry collections include Ash Wednesday (1930) and Four Quartets (1943); his books of literary and social criticism include The Sacred Wood(1920), The Use of Poetry and the Use of Criticism (1933), After Strange Gods (1934), and Notes Towards the Definition of Culture (1940). Eliot was also an important playwright, whose verse dramas include Murder in the Cathedral, The Family Reunion, and The Cocktail Party.
He became a British citizen in 1927; long associated with the publishing house of Faber & Faber, he published many younger poets, and eventually became director of the firm. After a notoriously unhappy first marriage, Eliot separated from his first wife in 1933, and remarried Valerie Fletcher in 1956. T. S. Eliot received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1948. He died in London on January 4, 1965.

THE ANTLERS Stream Via Facebook
Brooklyn band The Antlers will be streaming their new record Undersea beginning today, July 17th via their Facebook page. To listen one must simply "like" the page.
The four track Undersea will be released via Anti- on July 24th. Last January the celebrated band returned from a year of touring and entered their studio. The despair of Hospice and the subsequent recovery of Burst Apart felt like a closed chapter and there was a newfound freedom to change the subject. Creative instincts lead them to the ambitious and enthralling sounds of Undersea - an EP in length, but well beyond that in scope.
It begins in the dream of a peaceful flood. Water covers everything and rises. We take a deep breath in and a slow breath out. Everything is changed.
Time slows and stretches as a connectedness washes over everything. We're left treading water, backstroking into the future.
Undersea is the feeling of suspension- memories suspended in time and space, energy suspended in the air around us. It's the serenity of drifting off to sleep or of sinking to the bottom of the ocean. It's both the comfort of knowing that some questions have no answers, and the torment that we're never meant to know the truth.
We've searched for patient, colorful sounds and found a meditative calm, a persistent pulse that leaves room for everything to breathe and expand as a new world takes shape.
There is no hurry.

In the first part of this post, we discussed the dramatically shifting technology landscape fueled by two major trends. The first is the rise of the Internet and an ever-growing amount of bandwidth that has made it possible to interact with software primarily through digital connectivity. The second has been the emergence of application programming interfaces (APIs).
So how will these trends play out for financial planners and impact their use of software in the coming years? There are several powerful implications.
The first is that the center of gravity for industry software is shifting, from proprietary solutions within companies to independent companies that can serve a wide range of advisors across companies. After all, from the software company's perspective, when advisors can access any software from any place—without needing to rely upon the software produced by the firm they work for—the potential base of advisors that can use the software grows.
As a result, the number of advisors who use independent software solutions can become greater than the number of advisors using a proprietary solution… which means the independent software companies become the largest, and it's no longer good business strategy for firms to create their own proprietary software. In practice, this trend is already under way; for instance, financial planning software MoneyGuide Pro now has far more users than even the largest of the major wirehouses or insurance companies, as does Redtail CRM.
In fact, now even major firms with a significant number of advisors and hefty resources typically don't build their own proprietary solutions from the ground up; instead, they use (or private label) an independent provider's solution, and at the most simply adapt and partially customize it from there to fit their company's and advisors' own specific needs. The reason this really matters? With a larger pool of potential advisor customers in play, the business opportunities for technology startup firms serving the advisory industry is far greater, and the pace of software innovation and entirely new solutions for advisors is accelerating, after being relatively stagnant for years.
Another consequence of the shift from proprietary to external (or private-labeled) independent solutions is that advisors now have more flexibility than ever to change which firms they affiliate with, confident that a similar (or exactly identical) software solution will be available on the other side.
In other words, if you're used to a certain financial planning and CRM software solution within one firm, there's a good chance you can use the same software at another firm as well (albeit perhaps without quite the same customizations). In addition, key client data is more accessible than ever, as the API connections are built between various software companies. The end result: advisors have more flexibility to affiliate with whatever company is the best fit for their business and client needs, and have a newfound freedom and flexibility to make changes without being shackled to their current firm because their client and business data is held hostage. In fact, the explosion of quality independent software solutions has likely done a great deal to grease the wheels of the breakaway broker trend.
The rise of the software API also bodes well for another eternal challenge of advisors: finding the software "Holy Grail"—that integrated solution of CRM, portfolio management and reporting, and financial planning software with communication and business management tools, all on one central platform. Over the years, a high quality software "holy grail" has been forever out of reach. Most software providers only know how to program their software niche, not a holistic solution, and those who have tried often end out producing a solution that sacrifices quality and flexibility on the altar of integration; the end result is that the integrated software may have all the different components talking to each other on one centralized platform, but each part of the software is inferior to standalone best-in-class solutions in each category.
With APIs that allow software to integrate, though, a new "holy grail" solution emerges: to simply buy the best-in-class solution for each and every type of software required (CRM, financial planning, portfolio reporting, etc.), and get an independent programmer to use the available APIs to make all the software components integrate and communicate cleanly with each other!
The Rise Of The Independent Integrators
In turn, this leads to what are now just the early stages of a major new trend in the advisor space: the rise of the "middleware" programmers and integrators specialized in the software that is built for advisory firms. Just as the iPad and Android platforms have drawn in a plethora of software companies designing "apps" for people to use, so too are software companies and programmers emerging who will work with advisory firms and the available software APIs to make integrated, custom-programmed solutions for the firm's specific needs built on best-in-class software infrastructure.
Early examples of this trend include companies like AppCrown, which markets software integrations for advisors using the Salesforce software infrastructure and API; similarly, TD Ameritrade's Veo open-access initiative is designed to encourage these types of integrations and growth in this space. Ultimately, such integrators also help to support use of the large open-API software platforms in the first place, too; for instance, much of Salesforce's growth in both the financial advisory and other industries has been built on the backs of integrators who sell their own services, and support the sales of the cloud-based platform along the way.
In the long run, this presents significant challenges for industry-specific solutions (e.g., Junxure CRM) to compete with larger platform (e.g., Salesforce) solutions and an army of integrators recommending it, although thus far this shift has been tempered by the fact that industry-specific solutions are really built for the industry and are often ready right out of the gate, while with software adaptations from outside the industry it can take a lot of adapting and integrating to really make the software viable.
Nonetheless, the pressure is on for many industry niche firms to continue to adapt rapidly, or figure out how to develop a broader API to make their software more customizable, as the size of the opportunity for startup firms as middleware providers and integrators is going to attract a lot of new providers (and even venture capital to fund it) to serve advisors.
Perhaps the biggest benefit of all these trends, though, is simply that the software being developed for advisors today, especially using the infrastructure of the cloud, is simultaneously cheaper (especially when accounting for the servers and hardware no longer required), far more efficient (due to both the API integrations and the accessibility), showing more innovation (with the introduction of new startups), and just downright superior to anything we've had in the past. It may not be long before every firm can have its own "holy grail" solution, built to its own planning and investment philosophies, processes, and specific needs and desires; it won't be technology that replaces planners, but instead tools that significantly augment them.

Further information about option prices
Where there are no market prices quoted, a theoretical fair value will be displayed in the Bid and Offer cells. You can distinguish the fair value quotes from actual market prices by the fact that the same theoretical fair value is displayed in both the Bid and the Offer cells.
Prices are delayed by 20 minutes unless stated otherwise in the Conditions. Theoretical fair values are updated at approximately 10.50am, 12.50pm, 2.50pm, 4.55pm and 6.20pm.
Special trades, such as spreads and straddles, (see Understanding Options Strategies (PDF 284KB) for more details) and off market trades only update the Volume field. The Last field is not updated for these types of trades. As a result some series will have Volume figures updated with no last price traded.
Please note: The Bid, Offer, Last and Volume columns are reset to zero at approximately 4.30am on the following trading day.
Where an update to the volume column appears without a corresponding update to the last (sale) column this represents a combination trade. Combinations involve trading on a contingent basis at a net price. As the assigned individual prices which equate to the traded net price may not necessarily provide a true indicator of the market price of the particular component single instruments ASX applies the long standing convention inline with international recognised practice of excluding these types of trades from the calculation of high low last market stats.
