The SEC's new hedge fund rule: Opening a can of worms, then kicking it down the road
Hedge Fund Regulation 05 Dec 2010
The SEC's 2005 attempt to regulate hedge funds using the Advisers Act is now the stuff of hedge fund legend. Still smarting from the LTCM debacle over half a decade earlier, the Commission wanted to require hedge funds to register and report regulatory practices to authorities. Until then – and, to the Commission's chagrin, subsequently – hedge funds relied on an exemption available to advisers with fewer than 15 "clients." But when the Advisers Act was created, an "adviser" was generally considered to be a provider of bespoke services to individual investors, not to a collective of investors, i.e. a "fund." So a hedge fund adviser with, say, one hedge fund, was (and is) only considered to have a single client. All it took was one particularly tenacious hedge fund manager, Phil Goldstein, to challenge the SEC in court and vacate the Commission's rule.
In order to simplify matters, the media generally reported the court's 2006 decision as a repudiation of the SEC's legal authority on the matter. While this is technically true, it remains as the elephant in the room to this day that the underlying reason for the SEC's failure was the amorphous definition of the term "client." After the rule was tossed out, the question of the hedge fund adviser's fiduciary duty, i.e. to the fund or its underlying investors, festered. In other words, the courts had effectively kicked the fiduciary can down the road.
Fast forward to last month when the SEC had another kick at the can. But the SEC's new proposed rule, resulting from directives spelled out in the Dodd-Frank Act, appears to kick the fiduciary can down the road yet again. Learning from its past mistakes, the Commission basically side-stepped the sticky question of fiduciary duty and simply mandated that any adviser with over a certain amount of assets would need to register. The question of whether the adviser owed a fiduciary duty to investors to the fund was largely ignored.
Largely, but not entirely, that is. The SEC did revisit this question when it addressed the ability for foreign advisers to avoid SEC registration. In order to prevent foreign advisers from treating a collection of US persons as one client when they subscribed collectively (such as through a "nominee" bank), it specifically defined the term "investor" (in a fund) as being different than a "client" (of the adviser):
"The term "investor" is not currently defined under the Advisers Act or the rules under the Advisers Act […] We propose to define "investor" in a private fund…as any person who would be included in determining the number of beneficial owners of the outstanding securities of a private fund…"
But the SEC affirmed the notion that a fund, not an investor, was a "client" (our emphasis):
"Proposed rule 202(a)(30)-1 would also retain other provisions of rule 203(b)(3)-1 that permit an adviser to treat as a single "client" (i) a corporation, general partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, trust, or other legal organization to which the adviser provides investment advice based on the organization's investment objectives…"
And so the SEC avoided diving into this thorny issue. By essentially kicking the fiduciary can down the road once again, many questions still linger with regard to exactly whom a hedge fund adviser owes their fiduciary duty.
Several of these nagging questions are addressed by Anita Krug of the University of Washington School of Law in a comprehensive, yet very readable article in the Villanova Law Review ("Moving Beyond the clamour for 'hedge fund regulation": A reconsideration for 'client' under the investment advisers Act of 1940"). In Krug's view, the SEC should stop kicking the can down the road on this issue and pursue an "investor (as) client" policy as opposed to the traditional "fund (as) client" policy:
"…the fund-client doctrine was—and remains—problematic for reasons well beyond its allowing a group of advisers to escape SEC regulation […] Policy based on the investor-client doctrine…would bring large fund managers within the SEC's regulatory purview, but, as this Article has argued, it would accomplish substantially more than that."
Perennial Debate
Krug writes that the SEC has flirted with the definition of client on several occasions in the past. On one such occasion in 1977, it came within a breath of actually defining a fund's investors (the limited partners) as fiduciary "clients" of the adviser (the general partner):
"In the original draft of the court's opinion, the court stated that those general partners were investment advisers "to the limited partners" of the partnerships. Those four words were not included in the final published opinion, however. That the opinion did not commit itself to either interpretation of "client" meant that the question would persist…"
In the Small Business Investment Act of 1980, Krug continues, Congress specifically said that investors in VC funds (a.k.a. "business development companies") were not actually "clients" of the VC's adviser (our emphasis below):
"For purposes of determining the number of clients of an investment adviser under [the private adviser exemption], no shareholder, partner, or beneficial owner of a business development company…shall be deemed to be a client of such investment adviser unless such person is a client of such investment adviser separate and apart from his status as a shareholder, partner, or beneficial owner."
But the act went out of its way to say that this definition only applied to VC funds, not all private funds.
Finally in 1985, the SEC "resolved this ambiguity" according to Krug, by treating fund managers as issuers of securities and investors simply as passive investors in those securities, not as clients of the adviser's advisory services (our emphasis below):
"…the Advisers Act…specified that an adviser to a limited partnership may count the partnership, rather than each of its partners, as a client for purposes of the private adviser exemption. Conversely, the rule also specified that a limited partner would not be counted as a client of the partnership's general partner (or other adviser to the partnership) if the partnership's interests were "securities" (a condition that is usually met), the advice the adviser provided to the partnership was "based on the investment objectives of the limited partners as a group," and the adviser was not the "alter ego" of a registered investment adviser."
So it's no surprise that in its decision on the Goldstein case, the courts said:
"Persons engaged in the investment advisory profession "provide personalized advice attuned to a client's concerns." Lowe, 472 U.S. at 208. "Fiduciary, person-to-person relationships" were "characteristic" of the "investment adviser-client relationship." The Court thought it "significant" that the Advisers Act "repeatedly" referred to "clients," which signified to the Court "the kind of fiduciary relationship the Act was designed to regulate." This type of direct relationship exists between the adviser and the fund, but not between the adviser and the investors in the fund. The adviser is concerned with the fund's performance, not with each investor's financial condition."
After all, said the court, it could even be a conflict of interest if an adviser tried to serve two masters, the fund and its individual investors, at the same time:
"If the investors are owed a fiduciary duty and the entity is also owed a fiduciary duty, then the adviser will inevitably face conflicts of interest. Consider an investment adviser to a hedge fund that is about to go bankrupt. His advice to the fund will likely include any and all measures to remain solvent. His advice to an investor in the fund, however, would likely be to sell."
Although it may seem obvious, the SEC felt obliged after its Goldstein loss to emphasize how advisers owed investors at least a duty not to be fraudulent. Many commentators (including us!) ridiculed this measure. But as Krug points out, the gray area was created when the court rejected the fiduciary responsibility between adviser and end-investor compelled such a measure.
Krug is highly skeptical of the common practice where advisers set up and market their own funds. If the fund is both a product of the adviser and the client of the adviser, then any fiduciary duty is essentially owed by the adviser to itself – an "anomaly" she describes as "near absurdity." However, note that mutual funds, although required to register anyway, have already developed several mechanisms to mitigate this concern such as independent fund oversight.
She also appears to have a dim view of the business practices of hedge funds in general. Krug paints a damning picture of hedge funds that charge management fees less frequently that they allow withdrawals, meaning that "the adviser is compensated for services that it ultimately will not provide."
She points out that while investment advisers are barred from using third party's to find clients, they can still use third party marketers to find investors in funds. After losing the Goldman case, the SEC threw in the towel and explicitly acknowledged the role of third parties in raising assets for funds – since those funds were securities and not merely extensions of the adviser's advisory business. This, writes Krug, exempted marketers from disclosures such as how much they got paid.
Two Masters
In its Goldstein defense, the SEC argued that the distinction between a hedge fund and a hedge fund adviser was "merely a legal artifice" and that advisers don't have to balance the needs of "two masters" at all. Krug basically agrees and argues that the court should have just defined exclusively the end investor as the client of the adviser. Furthermore, comparisons to other professionals like lawyers or accountants, who would face clear conflicts if they represented both a client and a group to which that client belonged, are inappropriate:
"Goldstein's use of lawyers and accountants in its analogy is not entirely apt, given the nature of investment advisory services at the time of and subsequent to the enactment of the Advisers Act. Investment advisers, particularly those managing funds, often do not provide the type of complete analyses of their clients' financial needs that, for example, financial planners might. Rather, many investment advisers simply develop and deploy particular investment strategies. Because of that, they attract clients not through promising to look after all facets of their clients' financial circumstances but, rather, through the strategies they pursue and the returns those strategies have generated."
In other words, according to Krug, an adviser might not have a fiduciary duty to advise on all aspects of a client's financial situation, but that does not preclude them from a fiduciary duty with regard to the specific investment strategy.
Fiduciary Law
In general, providers of professional services aim to satisfy and impress clients – the very hope of further business motivates them to do so. But, as Krug points out, there are certain situations where this motivation may fall short, e.g. when a relationship is long-term in nature, where information is asymmetric, where the services are not entirely transparent, where the interests of the service provider run a chance of diverging from those of the client or when the service provider has a unique skill the client lacks. In these cases, she writes, a "default" fiduciary duty is appropriate, even when there is no directly relationship between the fiduciary and the client:
"[F]iduciaries need not have any direct relationship with the principals they serve. Case in point are corporate directors, who owe their duties to the corporation on behalf of shareholders in their capacities as residual claimants, and trustees, who owe their duties to the trust's beneficiaries, even though the shareholders have no direct contractual relationship with the directors, and the trust beneficiaries need not have any direct contractual relationship with the trustee."
But wait: There is reason to hope that we may finally have some clarity. Krug writes that Dodd-Frank would allow the SEC to define "client" any way it chooses. Alas, she laments, with its goal of forcing hedge funds to register achieved, Krug feels "it is more than conceivable that the SEC, if granted that authority, might decline to use it…"
And so the SEC would have effectively kicked the can down the road once again.

Not that there's anything wrong with chain restaurants. But, sometimes you want something really special, and there are two restaurants that fit the bill for yummy food with a St. Louis twist.
Sister Cities Cajun, located on Broadway just south of Anheuser Busch, should whet your appetite with shrimp and grits, po' boys, shareables, and tacos. You can tack on a side of gumbo, jambalaya, and dirty rice, and then wash it down with a fresh-squeezed hurricane or fresh sangria for good measure. Sister Cities also happens to be an oddity in that it accepts Bitcoin payments, so there's that, too.
Union 30 is new to the St. Louis culinary world in 2019. It's situated within the Hotel St. Louis Downtown, and it's all about farm to table. A gluten-free chicken burger or one of 11 different "sammaches" is a hearty lunch. Dinner includes blackened catfish with crawfish etouffee or head to its 705 Olive Boulevard location early for the breakfast and craft beer combo.
For more information, check out the following reviews and overviews.
A • Chef and owner Travis Parfait puts more than a few special spins on his well-loved shrimp and grits recipe at Sister Cities Cajun restaurant. When he emailed his recipe for the dish, this native of Dulac, La., did so with a disclaimer and an homage to his beloved grandmother, MaMa.
"While shrimp and grits has become a staple in southern restaurants, I would have never dreamed of wasting shrimp on grits as a kid. Grits were something you got at MaMa's house if she didn't feel like cooking. You might stir in a spoonful of bacon grease, a ton of black pepper, and if you were lucky there would be cheese in the icebox to dance it up.
Union 30, the restaurant inside developers Amy and Amrit Gill's new Hotel St. Louis downtown, aims to celebrate the breadth of St. Louis culinary tradition. On its menu are nods to both classic local recipes (Mayfair salad dressing, Famous-Barr French onion soup) and contemporary trends (avocado toast, barbecue).

Insider: Walker provides Fuel with veteran boost
Note: The following was written by Indy Fuel Insider Andrew Smith, editor of the Indy Puck blog. The Fuel are proud to partner up with Smith and Indy Puck to bring fans more comprehensive coverage of the team on and off the ice. To read more of Smith's work, visit IndyPuck.com.
When the Indy Fuel announced their first veteran signing in the summer, a second one came shortly thereafter.
Geoff Walker and Cam Reid only played together in Reading for a handful of games two seasons ago, but they quickly meshed on the same line – with Reid the playmaker and Walker the scorer. They'll have an opportunity to do so again this season. When Reid signed with the Indy Fuel this summer, Walker followed as the first two veterans under contract for the 2017-18 season.
Walker joins the Fuel after playing the 2016-17 season in Europe. A high-scoring forward, he's tallied 20 goal seasons in the ECHL, nearly hit that mark in the AHL, and is returning to Indy after posting an outstanding 2016-17 season in Europe.
"I was injured that year, but we played together for those first five or six games," Walker said of playing with Reid. "We had great chemistry. He's an elite offensive center, but he plays both ways. Once I saw he was there, it made me want to go there, just to know that kind of quality is there. It's a big selling point. I think we can build on what we did in the early stages of that year. I think we can have a really good team."
At 6-3, 225 pounds, Walker brings a lot of size to the wing in Indy, giving the team a dimension at power forward that can be rare in the ECHL. He describes himself as a power forward who excels on the power play, and is also willing to stick up for his teammates if need be.
Walker looks forward to being part of the core of a strong team that built momentum at the end of last season. Head coach Bernie John has been revamping the roster – signing Walker and Reid to fill the vet spots, and bringing in a number of versatile players who can fill different roles. All of that comes with an expectation are to have a strong season and make the postseason for the first time in the franchise's history.
Walker's next game in the Indiana Farmers Coliseum will be his first – laughingly noting, "it's about the only building in the league I haven't played in," but he's looking forward to settling into being a leader on an improving team.
"Bernie (John) said, the successful teams in this league, they have a strong core of four or five older guys who stay there and wear the letters, they're the leaders, everyone else follows them," Walker said. "I think that's what Bernie's trying to do this year – to build that bit of a core, and hopefully, they lead the way. Any good team, the leadership is strong and everyone just follows suit. You've got to be that guy. Some guys are vocal, some guys are more on the ice leaders, you have to find the way you lead the best."
He's a native of Prince Edward Island, where he came from the island's tight-knit hockey community in youth hockey, and remained in the province as a junior to play with the Charlottetown Islanders.
"Growing up on PEI, you really have to work for everything you get," Walker said. "That's really been instilled in a lot of us – that nothing comes easy, you're going to have to work for it. That's something that helped me in my career. Everyone knows each other, has each other's back."
As a rookie in 2008-09, Walker worked his way up from turning pro on an ECHL contract and tallying 21 goals with Ontario, to playing in the American Hockey League, where he had an 18-goal, 44-point season with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2011-12. That led to playing two seasons on National Hockey League deals in the Colorado and Tampa Bay organizations.
Walker played most of five seasons – from 2009-14 – in the AHL before playing a full season in the ECHL in 2014-15. He started the following year in Reading – tallying six points in five games – before missing the remainder of the year with an injury.
With ECHL rosters being a mixture of veterans, young players looking to move up and players on AHL and NHL contracts who are matriculating up the affiliate chain, that experience is valuable in the dressing room.
"You always see some guys light up the ECHL and have a hard time cracking and staying in the AHL. If you're not really, really high-end skill or prospect, it's hard to play on the first couple of lines, there are so many guys that are so good," Walker said. "For myself, you have to carve out a niche for yourself, whether it be a checking role, fighting a little bit, just whatever you can do to stay there. I did that for five years. It was awesome. I think that's the biggest difference – finding that niche for yourself and figuring out how to get there. I got there as a rookie, working my way up to a couple of NHL deals. I can bring that to this team, with some guys that are looking to move up and go to the next level. I know what it takes to get there."
Walker comes to Indy after an impressive season. In the Alps Hockey League, he had 56 points in 31 games and led the league in scoring. He then finished the year in Britain with the Sheffield Steelers, with whom he won the Elite Ice Hockey League championship.
"Italy was good. It was different – we were up in the Alps, it was a different experience," Walker said. "I led the league in scoring. I liked it a lot there. You enjoy your time. I really enjoyed Sheffield, as well. We won the playoffs there. It was a crazy couple of weeks in the playoffs. Last year was great. I really enjoyed."
The EIHL has a number of former ECHL players. The Sheffield roster with whom he won a title included former Fuel blueliner Anders Franzon. Fuel alumni Matt White and Shane Owen are among a number of familiar faces in the league.
"That league is really good and getting better. A lot of the better ECHL players go play there," Walker said of playing in Britain. "It's almost like playing in the States, with the language, the restaurants, the fans are great. I think the culture shock in Italy was a lot different, being in the mountains. It makes the transition for the guys that."
He said the biggest difference was the larger ice surface. But his year in Europe was also key, as he tallied more than a point a game.
"The ice is the big difference – you have a lot more time. The D-zone is harder because it's harder to get the puck back," Walker said. "I really found my touch again last year after a couple of years with some injuries. I think I can bring a lot to this team with leadership and the way I play. I'm looking to have a good year and get this thing going in the right direction."
He relishes the high expectations and is looking forward to leading the Fuel into the next season.
"Talking to Bernie and Jim (Hallett, Fuel owner), everything they seem to be doing is something I want to be a part of," Walker said. "Hockey is big there. The fans deserve a good team and I think that's what Bernie is doing this year. Ultimately, it's on us players and older guys to lead the way."

How Companies Eat Your Cookies

The world is becoming more digitized, and aspects of this make our lives much simpler, but what is sometimes missed are the consumer tracking things that businesses are doing that can make our lives more complicated. Websites will often collect information about you and your browsing patterns to then sell that information to advertisers. They collect this information by using a so-called "cookie" that is an invisible way for the website to follow your patterns on your screen. You may want to stop giving permission to these companies to collect this data about you and your habits once you know that cookies may be a violation of your privacy.
The best way to stop this farming of your data is by ceasing to use one of the biggest advertising firms, Google. Google makes our lives easier, of course, so make an assessment of what you use Google for and if you want them, as the world's largest data sales agency, to have that information. What are you searching on Google? Don't you think it's a little odd that if you're searching for something then for the next six months of your life, you're getting ads for search-related stuff? Yeah, we do too. Other search engines, such as DuckDuckGo, express the importance of data privacy.
But it doesn't stop at the search engine you're using; it extends to your email provider. Gmail is a service widely used and available for free. You are making a calculated bargain by using a free email service which may allow the provider to access sensitive data in your email inbox. Some say that paying for an email service provider is more prudent because it gives the service provider a reduced opportunity to reach into your inbox.=
"Login with Facebook?" This sentence has been such a blessing to us because it decreases the time needed to sign in or up for some other service. But, did you know that you just gave Facebook and the other company permission to track you on other sites when you click the link? Sure, it's scary to think about how much access Facebook has to information about you. Instead, be sure to sign in the long way from now on.
There's nothing you can do to delete your personal information from the internet after you've put it there, but once you know what these businesses are doing with your information, you may want to stop allowing them to collect and sell your data without you making a dime off that sale. You may want to consider taking steps to stop these patterns, which will leave you less exposed in the long run.

Oh the Awesome Power of Magnets!
DING DING DING DING, season four finale of "Breaking Bad" ended with cataclysmic bang, pun totally intended, and forever sealed its fate in my heart as one of the best season finales I have ever seen, up there with Dexter's season four finale and Mad Men season three finale. I just loved it when Jon Hamm is handed a loaded Magnum by Roger and told, "Aim for chest, it's where their armor is the weakest" and then the camera just pans out as Roger and Don just slaughter the dolphin-turned-alien creatures. WHOOOPS. Spoiler Alert.
But seriously, season 4 finale of "Breaking Bad" can be described as simply amazing. The twist at the end as awe-inspiring and Bryan Cranston's performance as astoundingly sinister. I love the direction Walter White is heading and the season 5 premiere has shown me that he is heading down an even darker path. Being the movie/television nut that I am, I recently read an interview with Vince Gilligan who explained that this season of BB is going to be one of the darkest ones yet ANNND that it is going to have one hell of a bloody ending, remember folks this is BB's last season, so we can hope to see an ending of this type. I predict some sort of face off between Jesse and Walter but only time will tell.
The episode contained all of the typical elements that make this show so great, the ingenious inventions, Saul Goodman, the serious Hank Schrader, who I have come to love and appreciate so much more than the bumbling jokester he was pre- shooting, a possible? glimpse at the future, and several face offs that are simply left simmering until they will erupt later in the season. My personal favorite scene in this episode was the interaction between Saul and Walter where the audience sees just how powerful Walter's recent accomplishment has made him, both physically and mentally. Suddenly, he appears to be the boss and what he says goes. I will continue to dedicate my Sunday nights to this show in hopes that I get to see all of my favorite characters come to terms with what occurred at the ending of season 4.
On another note, as I stated before this episode revealed a possible look into Walter's future and I would like to know what you think, why he was doing what he was doing and if it was indeed a look into the future. Imagine, just for second, that the viewer actually witnessed Walter's past and that he had planned on getting into drugs the entire time. JUST IMAGINE HOW CRAZY THAT WOULD BE.
So, if you haven't watched this show. Watch it. Now. Start from the beginning where Walter White transforms from the weak and lowly high school chemistry teacher to Heisenberg. Call in sick tomorrow and spend your day with Jesse and Walter. I promise, you won't regret it.
Thank you for keeping me entertained on my two hour bus ride! It will probably come as a shocker that I have seen possibly one of these films… I might be a worthless human being… BUT now I know what I should be watching.
First off, you commented on my blog. THUS, you are not worthless. Secondly, thank you. I appreciate the response and I am glad you enjoyed reading it. Please continue to do so. And if you have any movies, that aren't girly or dumb hahah, that you think I should watch, I shall. And I'll let you know what I think about em.

In a recent study by Carnegie CyLab the numbers were alarming with 10.2% of the children scanned having someone else using their social security number.
There was one 16 year old victim who had $750,000 in debt, and the youngest was 5 months old.
You may be wondering how a 5 month old baby gets a line of credit and why isn't it caught. Here's how it works.
1. A thief acquires the social security number from somewhere. It can come from many different places such as hospital, doctors office, camp, school, etc.
2. They use that SSN to open an account at a Walmart, Target or any other store that offers a credit card. The store has no way of knowing that the number doesn't belong to them because that number doesn't become official with the credit bureau until it is first used. They don't check it with the social security administration to verify it belongs to a 24 year old man instead of a 5 month old girl. With no credit history the charge card is usually issued to the thief and they now have a line of credit. By paying the balance they are able to receive even higher credit lines and even more cards. Eventually leaving the child with the bill.
Children make ideal targets for identity theft because years will pass before they ever apply for a credit card, car loan or even open a checking account. This gives the thieves much more time to use and abuse their credit line.
The other reason is that children have clean social security numbers so they are almost always approved for cards. Also many adults may have identity protection and its more dangerous for the criminal to use adults numbers which may alert someone to the fraud. Not too many children have identity protection because not everyone thinks it's necessary.
Be informed however that the statistics indicate children with someone else using their SSN, but it doesn't indicate whether they are actually strangers. There are many instances where parents who have a poor credit will use their children's number to get a fresh start vowing to pay the balances and maintain good credit. Be weary because often people who can't manage their finances and ruin their own credit don't suddenly become financially responsible because someone else is on the hook, even if it their own child.
The best way to handle identity theft is to prevent it. It's important to know where their SSN is being used, who sees it, and for what purpose. It's quite attractive to a teenage camp counselor to be given a few hundred dollars to pass along a copy of the child's sign up form to the thief. It's very important to let your children know to keep that information private, especially on the computer and social networks.
It is also a good idea to have your child subscribe to a credit watch. Most agencies like LifeLock and Identity Guard offer adding family members to the plan which makes it easier to monitor the whole family.
If you think you or someone in your family has been victimized you can inquire through the Credit Reporting Agencies. A great place to start is the Identity Theft Research Center ITRC which offers great tips about getting things straightened out.
When you find out either yourself or your child has been victimized you are filled with many emotions which usually include anger, frustration, fear and worry.
As a victim myself I can tell you first hand it was a nightmare proving that I wasn't the person who opened a bank account and wrote bad checks. I was 14 years old and I didn't find out until I was 18 that I was considered a delinquent banker which prevented me from opening a checking account. Being a victim goes much further than just financially but it is extremely frustrating and time consuming.
Be aware when giving your child's information and question if they actually need it and how it is handled. It is unfortunate but it is just another thing we have to worry about as a parent.

In 2010 while at the Institute for Genome Science and Policy at Duke University, Dr. Barry participated in a large federally-funded collaborative project in order to validate genomic signatures of the host response to the H1N1 virus and to evaluate the platform as a novel approach to diagnosis and detection of infection. At the Duke Cancer Institute and later at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Dr. Barry supported multiple early-phase investigations into whether vaccines can be a novel and promising approach to targeted therapies as well as the enhancement of immune responses in breast cancer.
Rho's cross-disciplinary and team-based approach to clinical research has been a strong motivator for Dr. Barry in a wide array of activities. Most recently, Dr. Barry participated in the design and conduct of trials for medical and infectious disease countermeasures under the Biomedical and Advanced Research Development Authority (BARDA).
Dr. Barry earned his Ph.D. in Biostatistics from the University of North Carolina in 2006.
This is what drives Dr. Barry:
Throughout his medical career, the opportunity to have a direct impact on health science and to collectively strive for evidence-based practices to medicine and public health has been the inspiration for his work.


The Canadian stock market (S&P/TSX Composite Index) rose 13.3% in the first 3 months of 2019, which was its strongest first quarter in almost 20 years.
Global stocks, as measured by the Morningstar Developed Markets Index, gained 10.1% in Canadian dollar terms.
The fund holds 24 stocks, of which 12 are headquartered in Canada, 7 overseas, 4 in the U.S., and 1 in Mexico.
After a rough finish to 2018, the portfolio started the new year on a strong note. Many holdings saw double-digit price gains, including CAE, CN Rail, Suncor Energy, Keyence, and Visa. Over the last few years, the fund hasn't kept pace in hot markets but has provided better downside protection in weak periods.
The manager, Fiera Capital, reduced the fund's exposure to U.S. companies as they are finding more attractively-valued stocks elsewhere. Visa was trimmed and Starbucks was sold, bringing the fund's weighting in American stocks down to 17% (for context, they comprised 23% at this time last year). Starbucks is still a great company and was an excellent holding for us over the past seven years, but competition is heating up in China and the stock trades at a rich valuation.
With the strong rebound in the markets, stocks are again trading at above-normal valuations. Fiera's focus in this environment is on world-leading businesses operating in stable industries. Examples include CCL Industries (the world's leading label maker), Novozymes (a leader in biological solutions for food & household products) and Keyence (a manufacturer of vision systems and automation sensors).
We'd be remiss if we didn't touch on a laggard. FEMSA has seen only a nominal gain over the past few years and hasn't kept pace with the rest of the portfolio. That said, the manager feels it has strong upside potential. FEMSA is a well run retailer in Mexico and Latin America that is using technology, strategic partnerships and multi-decade thinking to strengthen its franchise in a fast-growing market.
One new company was purchased, Koninklijke Philips. The company is known for making light bulbs, TV's and electronics, but has transformed itself into a leader in healthcare, focusing on diagnostic imaging (MRI machines), patient monitoring and consumer health (you may own one of their electric toothbrushes).
The fund currently has a cash position of 7%.
The fund is comprised of two dozen businesses operating in a diverse array of industries, from railroads to packaging to construction to enzyme production. Focus is on best-in-class companies that generate strong cash flows, have good growth prospects, are well financed and have proven leaders at the helm.

I've done roughly 70 posts on this here website to date, and I fear that there's not been nearly enough of my fawning, yearning love for Joss Whedon yet. Frankly I'm amazed I got this far without revealing my love for Buffy, Angel and especially Firefly/Serenity, that beautiful programme taken from us before its time due to hilariously upsetting studio mismanagement. But does Joss think he's ready to call it a comeback?
If you spend more time picking apart a programme's production than you do actually enjoying the stories told – which geeks like us are basically programmed to do, right? – then you will no doubt have taken the time to appreciate how much Whedon really cared about his stories; the love he had for his creations and his hand in their continuing developments – even at that period where he had three programmes on the air simultaneously he made sure that each was in capable hands. That's not to mention the continuing story of Buffy in comic form.
So with only half a season of Firefly in the can before the Powers That Be decided to end the show, fans clamoured for the DVD; sales of which proved so gorram successful that the studio then funded a feature film. It was an unprecedented move which just about broke even at cinemas despite its low profile outside of geekdom. SFX readers voted it the greatest sci-fi move of all time – a bold call to boot A New Hope down to second place, but one I definitely agree with. So where's the sequel, Joss? With a somewhat open ending to the original film leaving plenty of scope for, at the very least, seventeen more films (a conservative estimate based on my wishes) we're left wondering where even the first sequel is.
Man's got a point (and not just about the ensemble cast thing either; he should definitely have a crack at a lone wolf thing next time) – everyone else is doing just fine because of their previous work together on board Serenity; it's more a question of timing, but any attempt to rush back for another chapter in the tale might seem a little forced. They're all grateful for their time together and, by all accounts, they all absolutely loved what they did on that programme. Let's let our heroes get on with what they're doing, and be assured for now at least that no matter how much we want a Firefly reunion – they want it just as much as we do, if not more.
Wouldn't it be amazing if they brought Firefly back, it was an awesome show!

Application of International Radiological Information Exchange (IRIX) standards for radiation monitoring data reporting
Author(s): Sanjoy Mukhopadhyay; Florian Baciu; Gurdeep Saluja; Jose Segarra; Franck Albinet
The IAEA has developed the International Radiation Monitoring Information System (IRMIS), an international web- based application in support of the implementation of the Convention on Early Notification of a Nuclear Accident. IRMIS provides a mechanism for the reporting and visualization of large quantities of environmental radiation monitoring data during nuclear or radiological emergencies. The radiation monitoring data can be uploaded to IRMIS in the International Radiological Information Exchange (IRIX) format. A web interface has been designed in IRMIS through which authorized users may upload the reports of Emergency Data into IRMIS, either in IRIX format or using a pre-formatted spreadsheet template. These reports are subsequently reviewed and published on IRMIS by the IAEA Incident and Emergency Centre (IEC). IRIX is a technical standard developed by the IAEA in cooperation with experts from Member States and the European Commission (EC). It is designed to enable the development of interoperable systems and solutions for exchanging emergency information and data between organizations at both national and international level during a nuclear or radiological incident or emergency. IRIX is an open format developed by the IAEA based on the Extensible Markup Language (XML), which makes it both machine- and human-readable. It should be used to exchange radiological information between IAEA and RANET teams, or between any other two (or more) assisting parties, during a nuclear or radiological emergency. The IAEA has developed the IRIX format as the recommended standard to exchange information among emergency response organizations at national and international levels during a nuclear or radiological emergency. The standard covers the data content, the data format (XML), and the system interface specification. Data can include status information about a nuclear installation, information about any radioactive releases to the environment, information on protective actions taken or planned by affected countries, and environmental radiation monitoring data. The system interface specification (or web-service specification) enables organizations to interconnect their emergency information systems to automate their information exchange in an emergency. The IRIX standard allows the information to be processed quickly, summarized, and presented in an easily understood format: for example, on status boards in emergency response centres. Once the national system has been interconnected with a counterpart system, the information contained in reports in the IRIX format can be automatically exchanged via "machine-to-machine" transactions. These can replace or complement "operator-to-machine" or "operator-to-operator" information exchange, which is usually slower and not error-free. At present, US DOE/NNSA efforts to collect and share large quantities of radiological or nuclear emergency monitoring data are fragmented. The Emergency Response Group acquires data using multiple cell-nets, and communicates these data back to the Search Management Centre (SMC), which produces maps and briefing products. The RAP regions--which are vast--are using the RadResponder Network that is outside the scope of SMC and mainstream NNSA emergency response. The IAEA proposes to integrate all types of radiation data--survey, monitoring, environmental, and sampling — under one international umbrella, the International Radiation Monitoring Information System (IRMIS). The most significant restriction is that SMC is not a client server based system, whereas IRMIS is a distributed web- based application: it is managed by issuing user-level credentials with multi-level privileges. Unlike SMC, IRMIS is also independent of the origin and type of equipment used to collect the data (e.g. backpack, vehicle monitoring, or networked fixed-monitoring stations).

I picked Patrick Mahomes as the first QB in a Mock Draft. I made a mistake.
May 18, 2019 by Scott Engel 2 Comments | scotteTheKing
This week, we held a SuperFlex Staff Fantasy Football Mock Draft at FanTrax that will be published soon on the site. I was allotted the fourth overall pick. Se here is your spoiler alert: I was the first owner to take a QB and I went with what seemed like the obvious pick; last year's No. 1 QB, Patrick Mahomes.
Can't wait for next fantasy football season? Who are we kidding? It's always dynasty fantasy football time! leagues are now forming at Fantrax.com!
The Plan to Take Patrick Mahomes
Sitting where I was before the draft started, I knew I might have an opportunity to take one of the top QBs, but I figured there was a chance one of the two I really wanted the most, Patrick Mahomes or Andrew Luck, could very well be gone by then, What I always do is queue up the amount of players commensurate to my first round draft slot. So since I was drafting fourth, I started to queue up my Top Four. I really was leaning QB, so I also queued up Matt Ryan and Ben Roethlisberger. If Mahomes, Luck and Ryan all went before my pick, I was not fully comfortable with taking Roethlisberger that early since he did lose Antonio Brown. So I strongly considered opting for a RB if three QBs were taken ahead of me. I considered it unlikely, but you have to be prepared for any possible scenario. You can never fully predict what happens ahead of you. Just be prepared for the worst case scenario in any round.
I was not surprised at all to see RBs go with the first three selections, though. This was an expert mock after all, and these types are always willing to wait on a QB, and four points were rewarded for a TD pass rather than six. But now I had a shot to get the best QB on the board in what is essentially a two-QB league. I knew the position I wanted to go after. But making that first pick was not easy.
Should it have been simply a reflex action to take Patrick Mahomes? Last year's totals indicate he was the surefire pick. In 2018, Mahomes soared above any other player at his position with 417 total points. That is 63 points ahead of Ryan, who was second. He averaged 26.1 Fantasy Points Per Game, four points per game ahead of Ryan, who was also second in that category.
The Patrick Mahomes -related reasons for regret
But any respectable Fantasy Football analyst looks forward, and not ahead. I already see reasons Mahomes won't finish so far ahead of the QB pack in 2019. Any average fantasy player can see danger is lying ahead. There is a very strong chance that Mahomes may lose his top playmaker, Tyreek Hill, for an undetermined amount of time. Plus, after his amazing first season, defensive coordinators are spending a full offseason searching for ways they can expose him more. Mahomes may have a tougher time dominating defenses the way he did in his first season as a starter. Opponents do make adjustments from year to year.
Mahomes will still have Travis Kelce, but without Hill, his receiving corps obviously becomes much less fearsome. Sammy Watkins would become his No. 1 wideout. Watkins always had the talent level to be considered a premier wideout, but injuries have always derailed his production. Mahomes cannot depend on Watkins to stay healthy.
The Chiefs apparently drafted dynamic rookie Mecole Hardman to replace Hill if needed, but it's a lot to ask for a new pro WR to take on the role of one of the foremost WRs in the game. Hardman will have his moments for sure, but Mahomes may not be able to rely on him heavily right away. That is just not realistic.
If Watkins goes down again, the Chiefs receiving crew is going to look mighty thin. After Watkins and Hardman, K.C. has the likes of DeMarcus Robinson and no one else who is proven. Very quickly, the current group of Kansas City WRs could look like the mediocre contingents of the past. I'm sure Jeremy Maclin is available if they want him.
The Chiefs could choose to dip into what is left in free agency, which could bring them a Michael Crabtree or Jermaine Kearse type. That could improve the outlook in a minor way, but the odds are against Mahomes being able to repeat as the Top QB without Hill.
To his credit, Mahomes has already shown he can often get the ball to anyone who is simply breathing. Chris Conley caught five TDs from Mahomes last year, and Robinson caught four TDs. But there is just no way to replace Hill's 1.479 yards and 12 TDs and Mahomes is destined to take a hit in potential fantasy production when Hill is disciplined by the league or jettisoned by the Chiefs. By his own ability alone, he should remain at least a Top 5 Fantasy QB. But regression will hit in the form of no Tyreek Hill.
Andrew Luck over Patrick Mahomes?
Meanwhile, Andrew Luck, who finished fifth with 327.1 points and 20.4 FFPG, sixth in that category, seems poised to leap up the ladder and contend for the top spot overall at QB. After a super comeback season, Luck is surrounded by more notable playmakers than ever before, and his group of targets is deeper in quality than any other top Fantasy QB you can name. The Colts have the best combination of a superstar QB and a depth chart full of playmakers in the passing game.
Sure, Luck gets T.Y. Hilton back, and that is great on its own. He also has a pair of outstanding TEs returning, and defenses will be more overworked if Eric Ebron and Jack Doyle can stay on the field at the same time this season. They may cut into each other's fantasy totals if Doyle stays healthy, but their dual presence makes Luck even more effective and dangerous.
We also cannot overlook the acquisition of former Panther Devin Funchess, who was an underachiever in Carolina, but he now can be a fine role player for Luck. He should fit in well as the big WR target Luck was lacking, and will get important looks on key passing downs and in the goal line area. Funchess is getting a big QB upgrade himself by leaving Carolina for Indianapolis.
The Colts also drafted electric rookie Parris Campbell, who may be boom-or-bust as a fantasy player in his rookie year, but he gives Luck another significant weapon for defenses to fear right away. Add in second-year RB Nyheim Hines as a pass-catching threat out of the backfield and you can see what the Colts have assembled for Luck: A group of pass-catchers that can all play distinctive roles in various situations. Luck can make every throw these days, and now he has the right guys to be at the other end of them no matter where he looks on the field.
So in retrospect, maybe I made a mistake taking Mahomes as the first QB in the mock draft. I approach mocks as I do real drafts, but I believe I do have a regret. Upon further review, maybe I should have taken Luck first.
So far, according to FantasyPros cumulative Average Draft Positions, Mahomes is being drafted 15th overall, while Luck is going 51st overall. I just cannot recommend taking Mahomes in the second round with the Hill situation looming. I will gladly wait for Luck a few rounds later. Usually I do not personally take a QB until the sixth round. If Luck does drop to that point, I am seizing his rights.
It's not 2018 anymore, I'm looking ahead to 2019. If you draft Patrick Mahomes too early, you will still get a very good Fantasy QB. But you may not get the best one of the upcoming season. So let someone else do it, and wait for Andrew Luck or another top QB a few rounds later.

With Tyreek NOT suspended, do you still think Luck > Mahomes is the play, or does that change your mind?
Scott Engel says
Thanks Seth. Now I like Mahomes first again, but I can wait two to three rounds later for Luck.


From hating everything raw to constantly craving for sashimi - that's me! My sashimi obsession quickly developed compared to the past years, and it's weird that I am starting to slowly unlock this love for Japanese food I never thought I had by looking for the cheapest sashimi offerings around.
My boyfriend has been a loyal customer of Omakase (when they still had a branch at Ayala Triangle), and it's a restaurant that's been coming up whenever we are looking for a place serving Japanese cuisine. This time around, I decided to take his suggestion and pay his old friend a visit.
Like I said, I've been constantly craving for sashimi for the past couple of weeks, so there wasn't a doubt in my mind that I'd be having their salmon sashimi. To my surprise, they are offering a plate with 10pcs of it for only P250! Imagine my joy when I learned about it LOL! Anyways, yes, it's cheap, but it somehow had this texture that I didn't appreciate. It was good, but I finished that plate quite unsatisfied.
I ordered the gyu chisu maki just so I'd have something else to eat in case I don't get full from the sashimi. It's a roll made of fried, breaded beef filled with soft cheese, sliced into 9pcs. I wasn't very pleased with its taste since the beef was tasteless, the breading was too thick, and the cheese wasn't even slightly melted.
My boyfriend ordered the chirashi don, which is a bowl of sushi rice topped with assorted raw seafood and served with miso soup. If you're a solid fan of sashimi, then a bowl with a little bit of everything you'd want surely wouldn't be the worst item to order.
Omakase proved to be one of the cheapest yet fairly decent Japanese restaurants I have tried since the beginning of my sashimi obsession. It may have not been the best experience I've had, but it's worth including on my list of go-to Japanese restaurants.


COS-B was launched by a Thor Delta Rocket from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in the USA on 9 August 1975 at 01:48 UT.
The orbit of Cos-B was roughly 100 000 km with a period of 37 hours. This eccentric orbit was chosen to ensure that for most of the time the satellite was outside the Earth's radiation belts. This led to an efficient viewing programme at the price of high cosmic-ray background.
The orbital plane was inclined at roughly 90 degrees to the Earth's equator and the argument of perigee was placed in the fourth quadrant to ensure that the satellite was in sight of one of the ESTRACK ground stations. Regions of the celestial sphere which are close to the direction of the line of apsides were difficult or impossible to observe, owing to the entry of the Earth into the field of view or because the Earth-aspect angle is outside the range of operation of the albedo sensors for most of the orbit. This unfortunately included the LMC and SMC, for which Cos-B obtained little useful data. The right ascension of the ascending node was so chosen that these regions would not contain any target direction of high scientific interest. Unfortunately one such region proved to be Her X-1, hence Cos-B never viewed this region.
