From Traderpedia
In economics, arbitrage is the practice of taking advantage of a state of imbalance between two (or possibly more) markets: a combination of matching deals are struck that exploit the imbalance, the profit being the difference between the market prices. A person who engages in arbitrage is called an arbitrageur.
Statistical arbitrage is an imbalance in expected values. A casino has a statistical arbitrage in every game of chance played, even though it could lose money on any single game.
[edit] Conditions for arbitrage
Arbitrage is possible when one of three conditions is not met:
The term "arbitrage", is usually applied only to trading in money and investment instruments (such as stocks, bonds, and other securities), not to goods.
[edit] Examples
[edit] Price convergence
Arbitrage has the effect of causing prices in different markets to converge. It's similar to a free lunch. As a result of arbitrage, the currency exchange rates, the price of commodities, and the price of securities in different markets tend to converge to the same prices, in all markets, in each category. The speed at which prices converge is a measure of market efficiency. Arbitrage tends to reduce price discrimination by encouraging people to buy an item where the price is low and resell it where the price is high, as long as the buyers are not prohibited from reselling and the transactions cost of buying, holding and reselling are small relative to the difference in prices in the different markets.
Arbitrage moves different currencies toward purchasing power parity. For example if a car purchased in America is cheaper than the same car in Canada, Canadians would buy their cars across the border to exploit the arbitrage condition. When people arbitrage commodities, goods, securities and currencies, on a large scale, the higher demand for US Dollars and the higher supply of Canadian Dollars (Canadians would have to exchange their Dollars into US Dollars) leads to an appreciation of the US Dollar and eventually, if unchecked, would make US cars more expensive for all buyers, especially for the Canadians.
(However, in reality, one must consider taxes and the costs of travelling to the U.S. and driving the new car back to Canada. Also, the features built into the cars sold in the U.S. are not exactly the same as the features built into the cars for sale in Canada. This is due to the different emissions and other auto regulations in the two countries.)
Similarly, arbitrage affects the difference in interest rates paid on government bonds, issued by the various countries, given the expected depreciations in the currencies, relative to each other.
[edit] Risks
Arbitrage transactions in modern securities markets involve fairly low risks. Generally it is impossible to close two or three transactions at the same instant; therefore, there is the possibility that when one part of the deal is closed, a quick shift in prices makes it impossible to close the other at a profitable price. There is also counter-party risk, that the other party to one of the deals fails to deliver as agreed; though unlikely, this hazard is serious because of the large quantities one must trade in order to make a profit on small price differences. These risks become magnified when leverage or borrowed money is used.
Another risk occurs if the items being bought and sold are not identical and the arbitrage is conducted under the assumption that the prices of the items are correlated or predictable. In the extreme case this is risk arbitrage, described below. In comparison to the classical quick arbitrage transaction, such an operation can produce disastrous losses.
In the 1980s a practice with the oxymoronic name of risk arbitrage became common. In this form of speculation, one trades a security that is clearly undervalued or overvalued, when it is seen that the wrong valuation is about to be corrected by events. The standard example is the stock of a company, undervalued in the stock market, which is about to be the object of a takeover bid; the price of the takeover will more truly reflect the value of the company, giving a large profit to those who bought at the current price—if the merger goes through as predicted. Traditionally, arbitrage transactions in the securities markets involve high speed and low risk. At some moment a price difference exists, and the problem is to execute two or three balancing transactions while the difference persists (that is, before the other arbitrageurs act). When the transaction involves a delay of weeks or months, as above, it may entail considerable risk if borrowed money is used to magnify the reward through leverage. One way of reducing the risk is through the illegal use of inside information, and in fact risk arbitrage with regard to leveraged buyouts was associated with some of the famous financial scandals of the 1980s such as those involving Michael Milken and Ivan Boesky.
[edit] Long-Term Capital Management
Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM) lost more than four billion dollars mis-managing this concept in September 1998. LTCM had attempted to make money on the difference between different bond instruments. For example, it would buy U.S treasury bonds and sell Italian bond futures. The concept was that because Italian bond futures had a less liquid market, in the short term Italian bond futures would have a higher return than U.S. bonds, but in the long term, the prices would converge. Because the difference was small, a large amount of money had to be borrowed to make the buying and selling profitable.
The downfall in this system began on August 17, 1998, when Russia defaulted on its ruble debt and domestic dollar debt. Since the markets were already nervous due to the Asian crisis, investors began selling non-U.S. treasury debt and buying U.S. Treasuries, which were considered a safe investment. As a result the return on U.S. treasuries began decreasing because there were many buyers, and the return on other bonds began to increase because there were many sellers. This caused the difference between the returns of U.S. treasuries and other bonds to increase, rather than to decrease as LTCM was expecting. Eventually this caused LTCM to fold, and their creditors had to arrange a bail-out. More controversially, officials of the Federal Reserve assisted in the negotiations that led to this bail-out, on the ground that this was necessary to prevent a collapse in confidence in the economic system.
An ironic footnote is that they were right long-term (the LT in LTCM), and a few months after they folded their portfolio became very profitable. However the long-term does not matter if you cannot survive the short-term, and that they failed to do.

When I was in school, computer labs were a luxury. Many schools were just receiving their first few computers, so for my class to have access, once a week, to a room of 12 computers was like getting the chance to drive a Ferrari on your 16th birthday. I vividly remember turning on a beige colored terminal and monitor, inserting a floppy disk that was about the size of an iPad mini, and getting straight to work—on the Oregon Trail. Technology in the classroom today looks much different, but it continues to be vital part of education.
The rapid evolution of technology is changing the way we learn, work and educate. Students want the freedom to learn and study using the latest software or applications on any device, in the location where they feel most productive and inspired.
As we head back to campus this fall, you might notice that several schools have invested in new technology in an effort to improve the learning experience for students. Many schools are turning to virtualization technology to provide anywhere, any device access to make learning more convenient, accessible, and affordable. Typically, applications and software needed for class are only available in the classroom or computer lab, but by virtualizing desktops, applications, and data, you can deliver them to the student, on his or her personal laptop or tablet at home, in the library—anywhere.
A public school district brings a new meaning to "backpacks"
Atlanta Public School (APS) district students will be sure to notice a few changes when classes are in session. MyBackPack, which officially launches at the start of the 2014-2015 school year, is an innovative initiative that will leverage virtualization technology to enhance and personalize learning for every student in the district. Students receive a secure user login and password to access MyBackPack where they will have access to assignments, safe internet browser, and a full menu of applications needed to learn and study.
MyBackPack—using virtual applications and desktops—will also allow APS to offer a Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) program for students, faculty, and staff. Anytime, any device learning opens the door to new learning opportunities for students at all levels. It doesn't matter if you or your school can afford the latest, shiny new laptop or computer. Students have the same, high quality learning environment regardless of device.
America's second largest public university empowers student mobility
Students at the University of Central Florida (UCF) will also enjoy the benefits of virtualization technology as they arrive for the fall semester. UCF Apps will enable software mobility by providing curriculum-essential apps, such as Word, Excel, Powerpoint, SPSS, SAS, ArcGIS, and many more to students anywhere, on any device. No longer will students need to wait in line at the computer lab or even need to come on campus to study or complete work. They can now work, learn, and study from their dorm room, outside on campus, or in their favorite coffee shop.
Getting started is easy. Students simply sign up at apps.ucf.edu using their student login and password. The focus for this project is students. However, UCF Apps lays the foundation for a long term virtualization strategy for UCF. They recognize many use cases for virtualization, including software mobility for faculty and staff, virtual labs and classrooms, task specific kiosks/signage, development sandboxes—the possibilities are endless.
Mobile students need mobile workspaces with on-demand, secure access to the apps, data and services they require, expanding beyond traditional methods to promote independent and exploratory learning – without compromising security or compliance. Embrace mobility and promote a lifetime of learning.
These are just a two examples of how mobile workspaces are empowering students to learn, work, and study anywhere, on any device. For more information on how schools are leveraging Citrix virtualization to power student mobile workspaces, please visit citrix.com/education.

2 red onions
½ tablespoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon ground coriander
olive oil
4 cloves of garlic
1 fresh red chilli
½ a bunch of fresh coriander
125 g red lentils
1 litre organic vegetable stock
1 x 400 ml tin of light coconut milk
1 lemon
- Reheat the oven to 180ºC/gas 4.
- Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 2cm chunks, then peel and cut the onions into 2cm-thick wedges.
- Place in a roasting tray in an even layer and sprinkle over the cumin seeds, ground coriander and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Drizzle with oil, then toss to coat. Pop in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until cooked and golden.
- Peel and finely slice the garlic, then finely slice the chilli. Pick the coriander leaves and set aside, then finely slice the stalks.

- When the veggies are ready, remove from the oven and carefully spoon into the pan. Add most of the coriander leaves, then blitz the soup with a stick blender until it's creamy but still has a little texture.
- Squeeze in some lemon juice to taste and adjust the seasoning if need be. Serve the hot soup topped with the remaining coriander leaves and toasted coconut shavings, if you like.

As cute as can be. As tasty as you can imagine.
These bunnies are made by Vosges with solid milk chocolate, hickory smoked almonds and fleur de sel sea salt, which no less than a dozen people have described to me as their favorite chocolate combination ever. I know those of you who excel at statistics will call my sample size (n) far too small for to make any broad judgments. I agree—in principle. But if you factor in the passion these people show, then you might just say it's one of the best chocolates made in America.
Don't miss the bunnies. They'll be gone after Easter.

Office of the Comptroller General
The Comptroller General of the United States heads the Government Accountability Office (GAO), an agency within the legislative branch of the federal government. The Comptroller General is appointed by the President of the United States with the advice and consent of the Senate. When a vacancy occurs in the office of the Comptroller General, the Congress establishes a bipartisan, bicameral commission to recommend individuals to the President. The Comptroller General's term of office is set statutorily at 15 years and he is not eligible for reappointment.
As GAO's chief executive officer, the Comptroller General has overall responsibility for the operations of the agency. The Comptroller General works in a non-partisan and non-ideological manner with Congressional clients and external parties. GAO supports the Congress in meeting its constitutional responsibilities and in helping to improve the performance and ensure the accountability of the federal government for the benefit of the American people. The agency carries out audit, evaluative, and investigative assignments and provides legal analyses to the Congress. GAO performs work at the request of the Congress and under the Comptroller General's authority. The agency conveys the results of its reviews through written products and through testimony to the Congress. GAO also issues legal decisions on matters such as disputes involving the awarding of government contracts. In addition to serving as the chief accountability officer for the federal government, the Comptroller General issues Government Auditing Standards and participates in audit-related international forums.
GAO's planning and management framework is based on strategic goals, strategic objectives, performance goals, and key efforts. The Comptroller General sets the tone at the top of the agency and leads by example. He explains the importance of quality, professional standards, ethical conduct, character, and integrity through the issuance of quality assurance measures. He also communicates through external presentations, internal meetings and forums, question and answer sessions and chats, agency newsletters and other mechanisms. The Comptroller General ensures that GAO's employees work efficiently and effectively within an appropriate organizational structure. The Comptroller General's direct reports are the Chief Operating Officer, the General Counsel, and the Chief Administrative Officer/Chief Financial Officer. Along with the Comptroller General, these officials comprise GAO's Executive Committee.

Sametime on iOS - pilot testing
November 11 2011
It's been no secret that we are working on an installed IBM Sametime application for iOS, just as we have recently shipped one for Android. I had the opportunity earlier this week to spend a full day working from the internal pilot of Sametime on iOS. Short summary -- great app, well-designed.
As you can see in the screen shot, I was only working over 3G, not wifi. The speed and responsiveness was just fine. The battery life was great, too, because the when the app is not active, it backs off to using iOS push notification for new chat messages instead of maintaining a constant, synchronous connection. Also, you might notice that I'm not using the iOS VPN service -- that's because, like with Notes Traveler, I am connected to IBM through the clientless Lotus Mobile Connect VPN, which IBM has internally deployed to use for email and now Sametime.
Functionally, the key capabilities of Sametime are all there. On the iPad, the frame on the left flips between my buddy list and active chats, while the frame on the right is the chat session itself. The chat window will receive semi-rich content, including embedded images/screen captures, but sends straight text and emoticons (the plus sign lets you choose those). I also like how the chat list frame shows you not just who you are chatting with, but the last line of the chat as well. The little person icon in the upper right lets you access the user's business card and photo, same as the hover over action does in the Sametime desktop client. As a bonus, that business card view has a single click action to "add to device contacts". Nice.
We haven't announced a date when the app will be released, but stay tuned. Oh, if you are an IBMer, don't ask, the pilot group is full right now :-)

A HEADMASTER has sparked fury by taking two weeks off in term time — to follow
England at the World Cup.
Ed McGovern, 55, was granted time away from Stafford Leys Primary School in
Leicester for "personal reasons".
But parents learned he was in Brazil. One said: "We'd be fined if we took our
kids out of school. It's double standards."
Mr McGovern's request was initially rejected by governors, after a row when
the head of another Leicester school took a month off for her wedding.
He appealed with the help of his union and got the decision overturned.
The school refused to reveal the reasons for his unpaid leave, but Zoe Gibbs,
28, whose two sons are pupils at the school, said: "It got out that he's
gone to Brazil for the World Cup.
"When my son was off with tonsillitis for two weeks Mr McGovern wrote to us
saying it was too long.
"If that's too long when you're genuinely ill then a headmaster going to
Brazil in term time just isn't right." Stafford Leys' governors said their
policy was to grant leave requests where possible.
Mr McGovern had led the school "with distinction" for ten years, leading to
Ofsted improvements, and there was "strong cover" for him. He is due back
before school breaks up on July 11.
