Best Practices in Hedge Fund Management
Click to Print This Page
With so much uncertainty and a great deal at stake regarding the future of hedge funds and what constitutes "best practices" in management, NYSSA's Alternative Investments and Institutional Asset Management Committees recently held an event to address such issues, bringing together representatives from every corner of the industry.
The heavily attended program, Best Practices in Hedge Fund Management, was held on September 14th and featured a panel of industry veterans, including: Robert Aitken, head of group compliance, Man Group plc; Anna Chefter, chief risk officer, Fortress Liquid Markets, Fortress Investment Group LLC; Todd Groome, chairman, The Alternative Investment Management Association Limited (AIMA); Steven B. Nadel, partner, Seward & Kissel; Peter W. Testaverde, Jr., CPA, partner, Eisner LLP and Paul Zummo, chief investment officer, J.P. Morgan Alternative Asset Management.
Topics covered included current trends in best practices as well as recent developments and initiatives toward greater oversight of investment advisers. The panel discussed the current state of SEC hedge fund oversight as well as how changes which could occur on the state, federal and international G-20 levels could be expected to impact both hedge funds and investors. All aspects of fund management were discussed, along with several key challenges facing fund managers, including: the current overall state of fund governance, current subscription terms and fee practices, conflicts of interest regarding fund use of bundled service providers, compliance issues unique to small firms, calls for greater transparency and risk disclosures, and the impact of "gates" as well as other liquidity controls and fund structural features. Stay tuned to NYSSA On-Demand for the event podcast.

text: About Us I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved since our inception in 2010 and feel honoured to be doing the work I do – sharing strategies for independent thinking and learning. I could not have imagined it years ago, but the formation of MADE now seems a logical step in my career path; a coming together of my interests in pedagogy (from teaching), systems and processes (from business) and personal development (from coaching). I am grateful to Corin, whose encouragement has spurred me on to develop this comprehensive suite of workshops for students, teachers and parents and to the entire MADE team in their dedication to delivering outstanding workshops. I hope that you and your students enjoy participating in the workshops as much as I have enjoyed creating them and benefit from them as much as I continue to benefit from the tools and strategies therein. Sander de Groot BA Hons, PGCE, MA Head of Training My role is primarily about listening, listening to teachers and senior leaders describe their schools and explain their strategies for improving teaching and learning. I know that every educational institution is different and faces distinct challenges and having worked in the education sector for over 10 years I have seen the landscape and expectations continue to change. From a position of understanding your school and its needs, I can help you to choose the right workshops to meet your aims and objectives. From the first conversations with Sander about our vision for MADE to the realisation of where we are today, it has been an incredible journey and one that I have loved every minute of. I never get tired of telling people what MADE do and I'll never get tired of hearing people say to me "I wish I'd had that when I was at school!" Corin Mitchell Project Manager

I first met Amila on slack in our Tech Visa Alumni group. The Alumni is a networking group for those who received the Exceptional Talent Visa in Digital and Tech.
While most of the members are based in London and regularly meet up over breakfast events and social catch ups, Amila and I are based in the North, namely Newcastle of all places!
Amila's UK adventures started in 2012 with the commencement of his master's degree in Advanced Computer Science at Newcastle University. While he was born in Sri Lanka, he was raised in the Sultanate of Oman before moving to Malaysia and completing a Bachelor's degree in computing, specialising in Artificial Intelligence.
After graduating at Newcastle University with a distinction, he decided to remain in Newcastle because he felt very much at home in Newcastle. He says, and I wholeheartedly agree (having just moved to Newcastle myself!) that the Geordie people are very friendly, welcoming and genuine. It is also a very peaceful city, has some great opportunities where you can share your knowledge and give back to the tech community.
And because of this, he started his tech career in Newcastle working at Bede Gaming as a software engineer where he remained for 4 years.
While he absolutely loved working at Bede, who he says helped him integrate seamlessly into the UK working culture, Amila finally decided to take the entrepreneurial plunge to start not one but 2 companies! Logbook and Voice IQ.
Achieving the Tier 1 Exceptional Talent visa helped him make the move because the visa provides him with a lot of flexibility and has less constraints compared to other visa categories.
However, his success of receiving the visa was met with his own challenges of whether or not he felt his experience and voluntary work would be applicable to the exceptional promise category. He felt it was too vague and generic and wasn't sure if he met the criteria.
He owes much gratitude to his previous employer at Bede Gaming and startup co-founder Mujibur Choudhury who both supported him with his visa application process by providing most of the relevant supporting documents that made him realise that he could, on the off chance, succeed in receiving this visa. And that he did!
Looking at Amila's Linkedin profile and his continuous contribution to the UK tech sector, namely in Newcastle, it is no wonder Amila received the Exceptional Talent Visa. His hard work, perseverance and dedication to helping other startups and immersing himself in the start up community certainly paid off not only for himself, but for all the people he helped and made an impact on.
Now that he has his right to remain in the UK to continue to be the CTO for Voice AI and Logbook, Amila's long-term plan in the UK is to settle here and apply for the Indefinite Leave to Remain visa at the end of this year. This will allow him to continue to work for the two startups in the long term and help these two grow significantly.
In providing his advice to other applicants, he says:
1) Don't discourage yourself thinking that you don't meet the requirements for the Exceptional Promise category;
2) It's not just about the work you get paid for. Mentoring, voluntary work, becoming involved in a tech startup on a part-time basis or working in your tech startup puts you in a good position to apply for this visa; and
3) If you don't apply, you won't know if you will get it or not. So be optimistic, be proud of the work that you have done and go for it!
Great advice Amila! It's so great to have met Amila and know that he is in Newcastle too. If you're ever in Newcastle, Amila is based at TusPark, a beautiful new co-working space in the city centre for tech start ups where I was based. It's great to know that we can continue to support each other in the North and be adopted Geordies together!

Funeral boats approach the pyramid. On the death of the pharaoh, the plans for his funeral were put into action. Firstly, his body was taken to be prepared for burial: made into a mummy. This process took 70 days to complete. Ceremony and ritual were important features of a pharaoh's funeral. After the Opening of the Mouth ceremony had taken place, priests carried the coffin to the tomb. Following one final ceremony, the coffin was lowered carefully into the sarcophagus. The priests then left the tomb. Buried alongside the pharaoh and his treasures were food, drink and other necessities he would need in the Afterlife.
Funeral of a pharaoh
Opening of the Mouth
The Opening of the Mouth ceremony took place after the mummification process has been completed. While one priest, dressed as the jackal-headed god Anubis, held the pharaoh's mummy upright, another priest held out an adze, a kind of hand tool. He touched the hands, feet, eyes, ears, nose and mouth. By so doing, the priest enabled the dead pharaoh to breathe, eat and speak in the Afterlife.
A pyramid burial
A boat pit at the Great Pyramid of Khufu contained 1224 separate parts, made of cedar and acacia woods. They formed a kit from which a real boat could be made. The parts included holes so that the boat could be stitched together with cords made of vegetable fibres.

Ok so it has been a long time coming that I have finally got to do another music video! I love doing music videos and for some reason they are here and far between lately so when a friend came to town that was in a band that I enjoyed I jumped on the chance to do a video. By the way if you don't like the music you should not do the video, I always believe that you should be somewhat personally invested in the music or your talent, your audience, and everyone else that will watch your product probably will feel the same way. Thats probably why I haven't shot a lot of music videos lately… Im particular about the music that I listen to and nothing has really impressed me lately (except Jay Satellite). Im hoping that that will change.
Anyway back at what this post is about! So I brought the idea while he was in town we should do a video. He seemed a little odd about it at first and I was kinda like dude I have so many ideas and your staying in the suite of this very nice hotel you have to let me do a video. He was staying at the Chancellor Hotel in Downtown Fayetteville Arkansas in the Ozark suite so yes I jumped on the chance to check out the room and what it could offer for a video. After about 30 minutes of explaining the video over text messages he agreed to do the video. but wait… he doesn't have his band!…. CRAP…. So we choose a song that only featured an acoustic guitar and vocals. It was literally the perfect song to go along with my lonely guy in a hotel video.
After I checked out the amazing views from the 16th floor of the chancellor, and the room I ran home to get my gear since I only had about 3 hours to get ready and also to shoot. I grabbed my trusty Red One MX, tripod, a Slider, and I had to bring my god ol Martin Acoustic. Yes that is my personal acoustic he is using… I love it. So grabbed everything and headed back. We got everything upstairs and into the hotel room without a problem and surprisingly only took one trip. Thats when I Realized the tripod mount for my slider didn't have the quick release…. Well when in a hurry sometimes things get left behind so kids (always prep more than an hour and double check). This was kind of a bummer as I really waned some sliding shots going from room to room and hand holding it wasn't going to accomplish this so we ended up having to hide it in a closet so it wouldn't be seen as well as the rest of the equipment.
Finally I had the camera set up and ready to go after about 10 minutes. If you have ever used a red one you know setup is a little jarring. The ambient light givin from the window of the 16th story at near sunset gave me nearly a perfect exposure all around with very good dynamics. I couldn't be happier. One of the aspects of the video that you probably do not notice is the fact most everything is framed left heavy including the close ups when he is looking back over his shoulder gazing to the left. This signifies that there is room for your dreams and room to grow. I am always trying to incorporate some kind of use of physiology in my productions. FUN FACT I took a lot of Physc classes in college. There was one difficult shot when Jay falls onto the bed and the next shot the camera jibs over the bed and onto his face. Obviously if you have been paying attention I did not bring a Jib. In order to make that shot happen I took the tripod to as tall as it would go, moved the camera back about a foot and a half from the bed, stood on the bed to stabilize the camera, and used the bed as joint to brace the tripod as I let the camera slowly move down and onto his face. This was shot using a 16mm lens and no follow focus. Surprisingly enough the shot stayed sharp and only took 2 tries to accomplish.
The rest of the video is pretty on point with how I usually do everything either on sticks or gorilla hand held since I didn't have room or time to get my stabilizer. This added camera movement actually went very well with the video to give it more of an uneasy feeling and almost make you feel sympathetic to the character in the video. Overall in the time that we had to make this video happen I couldn't have asked for a better location and a better song for that location.
If you are wanting to shoot videos you do not have to have fancy equipment. You do not have to plan every single little detail (unless that is your thing). Sometimes all it takes is a good idea and people willing to work with you for a few hours. So don't ever make an excuse to not film something or go out and be creative. The creative part is in you and is waiting to be released. You can check out the video below and make sure to share!

Kevin Spacey blurts out smirkily in the film American Beauty, "Nope. I'm just an ordinary guy with nothing to lose."
That line stirred me. It was 1999. It stayed with me, and I drifted way beyond the context of the film and Kevin Spacey. Most of us consider ourselves ordinary, but we do have something to lose. We may come from modest backgrounds, lead simple lives, but all that we do is of worth. It impacts the people we connect with, beginning with our family, extending to our neighborhood, and stretching right up to that person we bump into on a holiday or a bus ride. I have had the privilege of crossing paths with some precious people who live each day in that awareness. They believe that we are summoned onto planet Earth for a unique purpose—a purpose crafted out just for them, one only they can fulfill. They hear the Call; they walk on quicksand, and their lives become extraordinary. Quicksand is about the simple things, the real things. It is about the men and women who do things. They distill the noise, hear the melody, learn the lessons, and pay the price. I salute them. Let me tell you the story of my gemstones. I encourage you to find your own gems, to write your own story as you dip into Quicksand.
Tiger Eye
Have you felt his breath so close?
Did you whisper a speechless nothing?
Did you promise yourself something?
Were you just so shaken by his fierce wild?
Or were you broken by his grace . . .
Here is the story of a man whose
fierce and passionate relationship
with God, led him to do things
that are truly extraordinary.
He is my tiger eye.
Barack's first day at School
His head was full of fear, but he dared not say.
Mordechai left him at the school gates;
he saw classrooms and teachers and lots of mates.
He felt homesick; he missed the streets,
he wanted something familiar.
He wished there'd be someone to greet,
a friend perhaps to chatter.
And although those streets had been mean to him,
a school such as this he had hardly seen.
He had worked on the streets since he was four;
he had begged for food and done much more.
But a book full of pictures he had never owned;
a box full of biscuits, a cake, and cone.
And although nice things happened in school,
the first days were like a large whirlpool.
But every now and then they came,
those bitter memories and the pain.
Now he had learned how to cope;
he folded his hands and to God he spoke.
And time passed by; now he is a teen.
He wears nice red shirts and dark blue jeans.
He studies real hard and gets good grades;
he helps at home and everyone he aids.
He is getting stronger,
I mean within.
He strives to move on;
he holds high his chin.
One day he plans to visit those streets
where life was bitter and full of deceit.
He wants to find other sad Baracks;
take them to school and give them a snack.
He never forgets to thank the Creator
Who saved him and gave him his laughter.
Had it not been for Mordechai,
Barack would have surely died.
So keep your eyes open; see what you cannot!
There is so much to do; all you need is a thought.
Spare some time each day and just look around,
God is waiting for you, just listen to the sound.
about your serene beauty in the night sky.
They've romanced you and courted you,
but did they see the reflection of your Creator?
You reflect a mystery that is deep,
filled with peace and power all in one.
Of things eternal that cannot be seen,
of worthy things that yet have to be done . . .
This is Esther's story.
She is my dear friend.
Her uncompromising faithfulness
to her Call continues to inspire me each day.
She is my moonstone.
she loved to dance and twirl, and play with beetle bees.
She grew up before her time had come; her heart was still so tender.
From the big, bad world she tried to run, but the evil witch got hold of her.
The witch promised her a cruise and cast a spell on Angelia.
She bought her dresses and shoes and taught her to cha-cha.
She took her to a big, dark city, and there sold her to a beast.
He hurt her and showed no mercy; he made her work, so he could feast.
She is standing in the cold; it is freezing outside.
The snowflakes are falling; the night's a long ride.
She shuffles and wails, Angelia is lamenting.
But to no avail, her client is waiting.
She disappears into the snowstorm; she dies inside some more.
Pain awaits her in the morn; he'll handle her like a boar.
She seeks to run out of town; who can she trust?
They have all let her down and trampled her to dust.
She is one of those sand grains; please lift one up,
hold it under a lens and see the close-up!
Every grain is a jewel in the waiting; go bring out her real beauty.
Adorn her with love and caring; she is soul more than body.
You and me, we can save Angelia; she needs protection and esteem.
Let's take this sand grain to the Delta; she'll shimmer like a galaxy in stream.
There are many sand grains out there, trodden on and treated with contempt.
Don't wait too long, just simply care; it's worth more than all you've dreamt.
Blue Topaz
Blue is the sea, where dolphins whistle and float.
Blue is the planet we call our home.
Blue is all the space and the in-between tones.
Blue is peace; blue is serene.
But there is passion and ice, a sparkling sheen.
She walks on the planet and does her thing,
shields herself with blue, but there is fire within.
Fire to build the broken, fire to sing His song,
fire of the heavenly Father that keeps her strong.
Blue flames are hot, and yet solid as ice,
a touch that heals and burns you inside.
She speaks to your heart; you hear the Creator.
A dovish rhythm, a gurgling river.
Love and mirth, the joy of rebirth,
the smell of fresh rain, upon dry earth.
He whistles that haunting tune
you have heard in the womb.
It's the melody of love and priceless sacrifice.
So precious we are; He paid a dear price.
Listen . . . it's crystal clear blue, tranquil, and true,
sung just for you.
Martha has been the reflection of green pastures and quiet waters on days when I have found my feet stuck in quicksands of my own making. She points her finger to the azure blue sky when my head is hung low. She reminds me that I am the daughter of a heavenly Father! She is my blue topaz.
Jacob from the book of Genesis
Genesis 32: 27-28
Star Sapphire
Not one goes missing; He has set them in their place.
And some He has set, on the earth below,
they shine in dark alleys, they expose the foe.
Many such beacons on the planet there are;
one such I met, a sapphire star.
His focus, zeal, and hunger for truth.
His home, his folk, his neighborhood.
He shepherds and leads them like his very own.
Family is not by blood alone.
He has taken the message to many he does not know.
His sapphire awaits him, and much more is in store.
In Josiah, I have found a brother who keeps it all so simple.
He has inspired me through his writings and the manner in which he conducts his day-to-day life. Jesus has called us to love our neighbors as ourselves.
Josiah is a fine example of a person who truly endeavors to do so. There is nothing as challenging and humbling as to love your neighbor as yourself. Whatever else we may choose to do with our lives, we are all called to this common purpose.
His love for Christ is absolutely infectious!
He is my star sapphire.
She was a beautiful maiden, her head full of curls.
Lovely and shy, a child full of woes,
cows to milk and a lot of house chores.
The lantern burned bright in the cowshed one night,
Pearl was studying there, with the cows by her side.
She fell asleep on the hay, she was exhausted to the core;
a price she had to pay for being a maiden among boars.
The brothers got the best of the broth;
Pearl had to scrape the bottom of the pot!
Such were her beginnings, but out of the ashes she rose;
her Creator she sought, she withstood all her foes.
But her heart never changed, she didn't hold a grudge,
she was loyal and giving, she didn't judge.
Another Pearl there can never be,
this is her story, her life inspired me!
Many broken hearts she touched
with her kindness and mercy.
A pearl she was, reflecting inner beauty.
And a tough Pearl at that, full of grit and spunky.
Pearl was my mother. She has gone home to be with the Lord.
I miss her. She is indeed my pearl!

It's a day off from elementary school for youngsters across Niagara and I was hopeful to get my girls to the YMCA so I could get a brisk 10k run in. Usually they love the children's program at the Y but today there was just one problem: it snowed last night. Not a lot, but enough so that my girls wanted to hang out around the house instead.
It's not a problem, really. Shoveling and sledding offer a unique kind of cross-training. And, I love that the girls enjoy winter. Looking forward to some sledding today. It takes hills to a whole new level.
I can run later. I'm flexible like that. Plus, I could use a little extra rest after the hard interval workout I completed yesterday. While my pace was just slightly off, I was consistent through the 5k of hard running I put in, the first such workout of the new year. It had been a couple of weeks since the last one (I took a couple of weeks off hard running over the holidays) and I was definitely feeling it last night. But I am on track, I think.
I had a great year last year, hitting all of my goals, including some that I thought may be still a year or so away. It's led me set new, more aggressive goals for this year and beyond, including running a sub-16 minute 5k. That is going to be a challenge, it's probably my most aggressive pursuit, but I think it's realistic. Based on some of the splits I am running now, I think I will get there.
Because of my successes in 2012, I'm following a similar training pattern as last year. At this time last year, my workouts consisted of weekly tempo runs, and Steady Eddies (runs where I tried to keep my heart rate steady at a point between 60 and 80 per cent). I also did some weight training, rode the exercise bike and walked frequently with my dog.
This year I am still running intervals, tempos and Steady Eddies (that was supposed to be today; I love the challenge of following up with a Steady Eddie run after a hard workout), getting out for runs four times a week. I'm also hitting the excercise bike for a 45-minute ride at least once a week. And I am still walking my dog. My fitness program also includes daily core exercises.
When spring comes around I will start adding in more hills and more challenging outdoor runs. I also need to up my weight workouts: I am running the Spartan Beast Race in July and will have to climb, carry, and drag stuff in addition to running more than 20k up and down hills.
I look forward to starting another run streak in the summer, when I run daily from Canada Day until the Niagara Falls International Marathon in October. In the mean time, I am enjoying my winter workouts and even a little cross-training in the snow with the kids.

Record-breaking campaign cash in Santa Rosa rent control fight
Real estate interests upped the ante in their already high-stakes fight against Santa Rosa's rent control law, pumping another $334,000 last week into the record-breaking campaign against Measure C.
Opponents of the city's rent control law ordinance, which is suspended until voters weigh in during the June 6 referendum, have now blown away all political fundraising records for a city race, raising $815,791 to date.
"This is the largest spending campaign in the history Santa Rosa by far," said Terry Price, chairman of the Yes on C campaign and a veteran political consultant. "There is nothing that even comes close to this type of massive amounts of spending."
Supporters of rent control, by comparison, have raised just $123,460, giving the No campaign a nearly 7-to-1 fundraising advantage to date and a huge war chest heading into the final three weeks of the campaign.
The total of the two campaigns combined is now exceeds $939,000, though definitive campaign finance filings aren't due until May 25.
The latest blast of cash came primarily from a $300,000 donation from the Chicago-based National Association of Realtors.
The two campaigns immediately sparred over whether that donation could be characterized as out-of-area money or not.
Political consultant Rob Muelrath is running the campaign officially known as Citizens for Fair and Equitable Housing: Rental Housing Providers and Real Estate Professionals Opposing Measure C. He said the money is local because it originated from the dues of the thousands of North Bay real estate agents and Realtors.
When members of the North Bay Association of Realtors pay professional dues, a portion of that money gets earmarked for the national group's political action committee, including efforts in their local area, Muelrath said.
"The money is really coming from your local Realtors," Muelrath said. "It's coming out of the North Bay."
The same is true when donations come from groups like the California Association of Realtors, he said.
But Mayor Chris Coursey said Santa Rosa voters can use common sense and the black-and-white on the campaign finance forms to figure out where the cash really came from.
"On its face, when a check has a return address of Chicago or Los Angeles or Sacramento, don't tell me that money is coming from Santa Rosa," Coursey said.
Coursey is not directly involved in the Fair and Affordable Housing — Yes on C committee, but is a strong supporter and was part of the narrow council majority that voted in favor of rent control in August. The law was suspended after petition gatherers paid for by real estate interests gathered enough signatures to force a citywide vote.
If approved, rent increases would be capped at 3 percent annually for about 11,100 apartments built in Santa Rosa before Feb. 1, 1995. Measure C would also require landlords to give a reason for evicting tenants, and in some cases require them to pay relocation expenses.
The law exempts anyone living in single-family homes, duplexes, owner-occupied triplexes and condominiums. The $1.4 million program cost would be paid for by a landlords and renters of covered units.
Coursey said he always knew the real estate industry would oppose the law, but didn't realized it would go to these lengths to block it, he said. Still, Coursey said he likes Measure C's chances.

In 2011, Canadian Overseas Petroleum Limited made the decision to enter West Africa, specifically in the country of Liberia via Block LB-13. We have a broad team of individuals who have years of experience working in the region, and possess a strong track record of making discoveries. Our goal is to continue to grow our company by exploring for oil in emerging regions where large discoveries are occurring yet remain lightly explored, and by focusing on single well unappraised discoveries in mature basisns and bringing them into production quickly and efficiently.
The geological traits of West Africa are similar to those of the North Sea, and our team is excited about exploring for oil and gas in these offshore continental margins. We continue to investigate opportunities elsewhere in the world also.

If The Killing were an old time radio series, the tag for this episode would be, "Tune in next week to see if we can creep you out more than we did this week!"
Grammar Disclaimer
I have to mention that I did not leave out any punctuation when I typed the title. The title of this episode drives me insane. "Dream" is an imperative directed at "baby" so there should be two commas in the title. This is the 187th piece of evidence that makes me think the season 4 head writer of The Killing got his/her screenwriting degree from University of Phoenix.
"Too Long, Didn't Watch" Episode Recap
Kyle and Joan Allen's head mistress character bond even more… and it's getting creepy, like when they end up waltzing around a ballroom after Kyle comes to her after he has a nightmare about his murdered baby sister. Things are getting uncomfortably weird between them.
Holder and Linden continue spinning their wheels trying to narrow down their pool of suspects and instead widen the pool of suspects. Surprise! They're bad at their jobs. Oh, no wait, not "surprise" but rather "exactly what you've come to expect!"
This episode has cemented that I will never let my future son go to a military boarding school for any reason. The ways in which these boys physically and mentally torture each other is terrible and unsettling. Also, how frequently these boys switch alliances with each other reminds me of Gossip Girl – or it would if I'd ever watched that show.
Reddick's informant tells him in Jive Talk 101 speak that Holder confessed to a murder in an NA meeting. This causes Reddick's to turn his detective skills up to 11. He's going to solve this solved case, dammit.
If there were a drinking game for The Killing, the solitary rule would be that any viewer who tries to apply logic to this show by asking why something illogical happens would have to drink. As with all good drinking games, a player would be hammered within the first 10 minutes of the game. Unlike most drinking games, trying to play The Killing's drinking game for an hour would prove lethal.
Holder, coming down off a high and feeling edgy, tries to scare Jerkface McUntuckedShirt at the bus station by asking if the kid knows what will happen to him when he gets sent to prison and is gang raped. I absolutely agree that Holder would be less than pleasant while sobering up, but is no one – including Linden – going to say anything when Holder nearly assaults a minor in a crowded public space? Oh, crap! I just violated my own rules! I just applied logic to The Killing! Drink.
I doubt it
Kyle is forced to do push-ups in class for not paying attention in class after he sees a horrifying note from one of his classmates regarding his family's massacre. He breaks down after a couple push-ups and lays facedown on the floor gasping and crying while his instructor yells at him. Especially given that the head mistress said in the first episode that Kyle would be released from all PT exercises, would a teacher really be this abusive to a mentally and physically traumatized student? Crap! I did it again! Another drink.
And coming out of left field:
After pouring over the case file, Reddick decided to question Skinner's wife/widow about his sexual predilections, specifically if Skinner was into young girls. Skinner's wife gets defensive and tells Reddick to question Linden since Linden tossed something into the lake in front of Skinner's cabin. This sends Reddick into detective overdrive, and he has the lake in front of Skinner's cabin dragged. Apparently, Seattle PD has so many resources that they can easily replace stolen/lost guns and drag any lake any detective has a hunch might contain evidence concerning a closed case. And just like that, Reddick and Seattle PD find Skinner's body in the lake. There was no question or attempted application of logic here, just snarky commentary, which is good, because my liver could use a break.
Oh. My. God. Forget what I said earlier: grab a bottle and just start chugging to make what you're about to read not pass into your longterm memory. The writers took the creepy adult-child angle they keep toying with to disturbing levels. Apparently, Kyle's mother used to force him to touch her. That's all I'm going to say because going into further detail would require that I give my soul a Silkwood-style scrub down. I officially dislike The Killing now, and that makes me sad because I really enjoyed this show during the first three seasons.
After that last paragraph, I can't come up with anything clever to say to close out this article. So instead, here is an awesome video about good television writing to cheer us all up.

Pharmacy technicians work under the supervision of a pharmacist, performing various tasks, including preparing medication for patients. The nature of the job makes it necessary for the technician to be of good moral character and make responsible decisions. A DUI could make you ineligible for a license, depending on several factors. Because regulations vary, obtain specific details from your state's board of pharmacy.
Requirements for Eligibility
The board of pharmacists in each state maintains a list of requirements that applicants must satisfy to be eligible for a pharmacy technician license. In most states, applicants must not have been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor. According to the legal website Nolo.com, a DUI is a misdemeanor if it's a first-time offence and no harm to anyone. Depending on your state, it could become a felony if it's a second DUI or someone's been injured. In addition, applicants must be at least 18, be of good moral character and must have completed a training course.
Education and Training
In most states, you must have completed high school or have a GED to apply for a pharmacy technician license. Some states require applicants to complete a formal pharmacy technician course, and some provide applicants the option of training on the job under a pharmacist. In both types of training, candidates learn about medicines and how to prepare them; customer service; sales and other duties associated with the position. If your state requires formal training, you must complete it successfully to be eligible to take an exam.
Application for Examination
If your state requires a license, you'll have to sit for an examination. Your state decides the type of exam you'll take. Many contract with the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board or the National Healthcareer Association. You can submit an application to your state's regulating agency -- in most cases, the board of pharmacy. The application will include questions on prior convictions. Answer honestly and provide information about the DUI. The board or exam administrator will conduct a background check and will disqualify you if it appears that you deliberately left this out. You'll receive notice of the exam date when the office approves your certification.
Pharmacy Technician License
You'll receive a license when you successfully pass the licensing examination. To keep it valid, you must renew this license regularly at the time the licensing organization specifies. A pharmacy technician license is typically valid for two years.
Contact the board of pharmacy in your state or the exam administrator to discuss your DUI. Do so before you begin the application process. The office might examine such issues on an individual basis and make a decision based on factors in your case. For instance, the National Healthcareer Association provides a different certification for individuals convicted of a nondrug related felony if it occurred more than seven years ago. Your records must show that you have been a model citizen since the DUI.

Things That You Won't Like With The New Nintendo 3DS
The new Nintendo 3DS is an excellent mini gaming console, but there are still some things that you'll find annoying. These features are not deal breakers or anything, but can be important to some of you.
First of all, something that's immediately noticeable is that there is a slight flop with the new Nintendo 3DS. It's not important right away, but after you use the portable for longer period the screen may become so unstable that you won't be able to use the 3DS at all.
Another thing is the power button. It's too small and almost unnoticeable, which can be annoying. The button is not flat compared to the other elements, which can cause some damages.

Kraus Motor Company has designed and engineered the DYNAMOTO SP INVERTED FRONT END to be the absolute best performance suspension product for Harley-Davidson™ motorcycles.
The Dynamoto SP package takes all of the guesswork and hassle out of upgrading your motorcycles suspension. Suspension is extremely important and is at the core of a properly functional, fun and stable motorcycle.
Suspension works to keep traction, controls the reaction of the motorcycle to road conditions, controls brake dive and increases the overall stability. A well tuned suspension ensures comfort and fun for the rider. If you've ever ridden a squirrelly handling machine you know exactly what we mean when we say "suspension is critical to enjoying the ride".
Complete with:
Recommended Accessories:
The Kraus Dynamoto SP kit can fit Harley-Davidson™ motorcycles: Dyna, FXR, Sportster and Softail models. FXRT fairings will need minor modification for fork and triple tree clearance.
Our kits bolt on to:
Select "custom" in the "Select your Bike" options below if you require customized product options and send us your email address.
Installation Instructions
Gold Forks:
- Raw aluminum tree's
- Raw aluminum caliper adapters
Black Forks:
- Black anodized tree's
- Black anodized caliper adapter
Front forks on a motorcycle need to be as rigid as possible, to function as effective suspension parts. They also need to be as light as possible.
An inherent advantage of inverted forks is their weight, they're lighter than conventional front ends. A steel fork tube is the heaviest part of a traditional fork assembly. By design, inverted forks have shorter and thinner walled fork tubes. This results in less steering inertia and more responsive handling feel.
One more benefit, inverted front ends deliver better compression and rebound dampening than conventional designs. Oh and one more big benefit when you compare invented front ends against conventional front (tube & slider) ends is their strength.
Most of the stress applied to forks occurs just below the bottom triple tree. When you pull the brake lever you are "braking the wheel" and the bike slows because the front wheel is attached to the front suspension. The momentum of the bike transmits through the forks, trying to push the front wheel.
Think of the force being exerted upon a steel fork tube, just below the lower triple tree, now think of that same force on an inverted front end - clearly the inverted front end is stronger, by far, the tube absorbing those forces is of a much greater diameter.
Inverted forks are exponentially more rigid because they mount the larger diameter "slider" to the triple tree. Conventional forks mount to the triple tree via the smaller and heavier steel fork tube.
The much more rigid (compared to a steel fork tube) slider makes up a higher percentage of the overall length in an inverted front end. This design benefit reduces flex and improves handling and feel, what we call "connectedness" when compared to a conventional design..
Additionally, inverted forks are stronger because they have more overlap – the distance the fork tube protrudes into the slider – than conventional forks. The more overlap, the more rigid the front fork assembly.
Clearly, you can see why we are such fans and proponents of the inverted front fork design!! There is no reason we all can't enjoy the benefits of a well built and designed front suspension. KRAUS is working hard to bring these big benefits to the riders that need and will appreciate them most, the Long Riding touring set and the Dyna Tough riders!
The team at Kraus Moto has been designing, engineering and testing Dynamoto SP suspension and braking setups for more than 5 years in punishing, real world riding conditions. We have chosen the best available technology and have engineered what we feel is the best possible functional design to improve the handling performance of your Harley Davidson. We believe that when it comes to your safety and enjoyment on a motorcycle there is no second chance.
Finally you can ride your Harley and your sport bike at the same time. The Dynamoto SP Inverted Front End offers the best of both worlds.
Increase rider comfort and control with our Kickback Isolated Riser.
The Kickback moves the bars 1.5" towards the rider.
Our Kickback Isolated Riser utilizes the exact same technology as our Isolated Riser, the only difference is that the Kickback offers a one-piece kickback center section that pulls the handlebar back 1.5" toward the rider. Like the Isolated Riser, the legs are solid-mounted to the top triple tree with our supplied billet bushings and the rubber isolators have been relocated inside our billet midsection just below the bar clamp. The result is increased rider comfort and superior performance due to the more rigid, responsive setup. The proprietary use of these rubber isolators also reduces handlebar vibration and play due to less leverage being placed on the bushings.
Handlebar clamping area is 1⅛" for MX style bars or 1" for traditional OEM Harley and aftermarket bars.
IMPORTANT: the 5" version is not compatible with our Raptor or T-Rex Pullback Plates on bagger applications
Our Kraus Isolated Riser is the solution for bad handling bars.
Utilizing the supplied billet bushings, the Isolated Riser is designed to be solid-mounted to the top triple tree. This creates a much more rigid bar setup, allowing for far greater use of your bike's suspension and braking capabilities. As for vibration dampening, we relocated the rubber bushings just below the handlebar and inside what we call our riser midsection. Our proprietary use of these rubber isolators drastically reduces the amount of unwanted leverage being placed on the bushings, as well as creates a much more solid bar feel, giving you greater confidence in your bike's handling.

This year marks the 6th anniversary of the 3 Golden Baobab Prizes for Literature. These prizes invite entries of unpublished stories for children written by African citizens irrespective of age, race, or country of origin. In November 2013, Golden Baobab launched the fourth and fifth prizes, The Golden Baobab Prizes for Illustrations, to do for African illustrators what the organization has been doing for African writers for the past 5 years: discovering, nurturing and celebrating their talent, passion and contribution to the African children's literature space. Entrants will submit illustrations as per Golden Baobab specifications.
The newest addition, The Golden Baobab Lifetime Achievement in Children's Literature Award, which is the 6th prize, has been set up to recognize African writers/illustrators who, during their lifetimes, have made creative contributions of outstanding significance to the development of African children's literature. At the appropriate time, Golden Baobab will communicate how this prize will be run.
Last year, the three Golden Baobab Prizes for literature received 180 submissions from 13 African countries. This year, the coordinator of the Prizes, Nanama B. Acheampong, is confident that these numbers will improve: "We expect to receive many more submissions for the 2014 Golden Baobab Prizes for Literature this year. We have also had such positive reactions to our newly launched Golden Baobab Prizes for Illustrations and are looking forward to being pleasantly surprised."
The 2013 winners were Liza Esterhuyse from South Africa who won the Golden Baobab Prize for Picture Book, Karen Hurt, also from South Africa, who won the Golden Baobab Prize for Early Chapter Book and twelve year old Kanengo Rebecca Diallo from Tanzania who won the Golden Baobab Prize for Rising Writers which awards promising writers below the age of eighteen.
Entry information for the prizes can be found on the organization's website, www.goldenbaobab.org. Entrants should note that the copyright of each entry submitted to the Golden Baobab Prizes remains vested in them. However, by submitting an entry, entrants declare that they are legally entitled to do so and give Golden Baobab permission to make their entry available for exclusive worldwide royalty-free usage, reproduction and distribution.

Gum Graft Surgery
Sign Up for a Free One-Hour Consultation
Stop the process of tooth decay and bone loss while enjoying a more beautiful smile.
Gum Graft Surgery is necessary if you have advanced stages of gum recession and it's been recommended to protect your teeth from further damage or bone loss. You may also choose to have the surgery for cosmetic reasons, such as to eliminate a "toothy" smile and achieve a more symmetrically even gum line. There are 3 types of Gum Graft Surgery. Dr. Mellas can explain your options and help determine the best approach for enjoying a more beautiful smile today.

About Gum Grafting
What is Gum Graft Surgery?
Gum Graft Surgery (also called Gingival Graft Surgery) is necessary to protect your teeth from gum recession, which is also known as Gingival Recession. Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue surrounding the teeth shrinks back or wears away, exposing more of the tooth, or the tooth's root. As a result your teeth start to look longer (i.e., a "toothy" smile) and you may experience sensitivity to hot and cold. You may even have pain as more of your tooth and its root become exposed. Eventually, gums can recede so much that tooth roots are almost completely exposed. This robs them of nutrients and leaves them open to attack by bacteria, ultimately leading to decay and removal.
Surprisingly, gum recession is fairly common among many Americans. It's estimated that 5-10% of adults are afflicted with this problem, which can often go unnoticed until it becomes severe.
During Gum Graft Surgery, Dr. Mellas addresses the problem by taking tissue from the roof of your mouth and attaching it to remaining gum tissue to cover the exposed root. This can be done for one tooth or several teeth and will result in a more even gum line. The procedure will also reduce sensitivity as well as help prevent further loss of gum tissue.
What are the causes of Gum Recession?
Receding gums may be caused by the following factors, or a combination of several of these factors:
Aggressive brushing can traumatize the tissue and lead to permanent damage.
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a bacterial infection that can destroy the connective fibers and create pockets between the gums and the teeth.
Smoking or any kind of tobacco use has devastating effects on the entire oral cavity. Chewing tobacco in particular, aggravates the gingival lining of the mouth and causes gum recession if used continuously.
Poor oral hygiene, such as poorly performed or neglected brushing and flossing, can result in a plaque build up and begin to affect the teeth. The plaque contains various bacterial toxins which can promote infection.
Tongue and lip piercings which can rub and irritate the gums, wearing the gum tissue away.
Diabetes that is not well managed can negatively affect gum health.
Genetics, especially if your parents had chronic gum recession from gum disease or misalignment, may be predisposed you to developing similar condition.
What are the types of Gum Graft Surgery?
Dr. Mellas offers three different types of gum tissue grafts.
1. Connective-tissue grafts: During this most common grafting procedure, the tissue is taken from palate (the roof of your mouth) and then stitched over the area of exposed root and in between the existing gum using a microsurgical technique.
2. Free gingival grafts: This is similar to connective tissue grafts described above, although the tissue is taken directly from your palate (the roof of your mouth). This method is generally used to thicken naturally thin gums.
3. Pedicle grafts: In this procedure, instead of using tissue from the roof of your mouth, a pedicle graft uses a flap of tissue from the gum of a tooth next to the one with recession. The flap is partially cut away, with one edge still attached. This flap is called a pedicle. It is then slid sideways to cover the exposed root and stitched into place.
What are the benefits of Gum Graft Surgery?
Gum grafting is a common periodontal procedure, and can generally improve function as well as the esthetics of your smile.
The major benefits associated with gum grafting are as follows:
- Gum Graft Surgery can help stop the process of gum recession and bone loss, preventing further problems and protecting exposed roots from further decay.
- Gum grafts can help reduce tooth sensitivity, especially to hot and cold foods. When the tooth root becomes exposed, eating or drinking hot or cold foods can cause extreme sensitivity to the teeth. Gum grafting surgery permanently covers the exposed root, helps reduce discomfort, and restores the good health of the gums.
- Gum grafts can result in a more even gum line, making your smile more symmetrical and making the overall appearance more aesthetically pleasing to look at.
Who typically gets Gum Graft Surgery?
Gum Graft Surgery is necessary if you have advanced stages of gum recession and it has been recommended to protect your teeth from further damage or bone loss. You may also choose to have the surgery for cosmetic reasons, i.e., to improve the appearance of your smile.
If you have any questions about Gum Graft Surgery or if you'd like to schedule time to review your options, contact Dr. Mellas today to schedule an appointment.

Lula is about to pretty up Japan even further this October with its unique mix of memoir, philosophy and fantasy, as interpreted by editor Kazuo Sazuki. Sazuki has launched several highly acclaimed culture and fashion magazines in Japan, including RUSSH JAPAN. His company, Selek Limited, will be publishing Lula Japan.
Brit girls love Lula - still an independently published fashion title here - and now its youthful, dreamy and bold style will be a perfect fit for the Japanese market. I can't wait to see that first issue - will Sazuki use Japanse models?
And this is a good excuse to show some covers. I noticed that the more recent looks show an adventurous hand when it comes to makeup:

HOLLYWOOD — Politics is not my dish of tea. I write about the movies and love them. But I was knee deep in governors, senators and their wives while attending the Republican National Convention in Chicago and I had a chance to talk with a few of these leading politicos. I found out just what they thought of our motion pictures.

As I said over on my own blog, DGMFS, last week, I've been meaning to try out the DJ set publishing site MixCloud for some time now. Since meeting its founder Nikhil Shah through my work with the Technology Strategy Board, as it happens. Somewhat shamefully, I only got round to it last week and only then because I knew that Sarah and I were interviewing Nikhil as part of our Ofcom/UGC work and, well, I wanted to know whereof I spoke, as they say.
I think my experience of using MixCloud was best summed up in what I said to Sarah straight afterwards: "Well that's just about the best cloud service I've ever used". In one evening (after dinner, of course) I went from having nowt to having an hour-long set up on a new Mixcloud account, with all the attendant metadata in place – and all by bed time. And to be frank, the vast majority of that time was spent making the set – which is of course as it should be.
So a few of brief observations about the service.
- The creation of an account was simplicity itself: no verification email nonsense, no captchas, just straightforward email address, user name, password and you're off.
- Making a user profile was simple, too, with a good image ingest tool – with seemingly, intelligent auto-cropping-for pics.
- But it's the creation of the cloudcast page which is the real killer. Of course, you have to have a mix ready to go; I made mine in Logic, as it happens, but Lord knows there are plenty of lighter, easier and cheaper solutions to making mix sets (it's just that Logic's become my default sound editing software since tackling its insane learning curve to work on some of my own music projects).
- As you're uploading the mix – which has to be in MP3 format, by the way – you can enter artist and track titles information for each piece in the set.
- And then – and I though this the genius bit – once the set is uploaded, you can put markers on a graphic of the track to denote the start and end of track. Apparently it can take up to 24 hours for the markers to take effect, but for me it worked pretty much instantaneously.
- There's no rule that the user has to include metadata, but there are strong incentives to do so: it encourages discoverability (not least because you can see who else has featured a particular track in a mix) and, vitally, it allows Mixcloud to account accurately to the rights agencies.
- And once it's all uploaded and marked up, there's all the stuff you would expect of a great Web2 app, if anyone says that any more: ease of embedding, tweets, FB likes and all… plus the opportunity to pay for promotion within the Mixcloud community.
Overall, I was seriously impressed and look forward to using the service a lot over the coming months. Oh, just for the record, here's the mix!
