CSC Gives $100,000 to the Delaware COVID-19 Strategic Response Fund

Helping non-profits support those disproportionately suffering from the coronavirus pandemic
WILMINGTON, Del.— CSC, a world leader in business, legal, tax, and domain name security, today announced a donation of $100,000 to the Delaware COVID-19 Strategic Response Fund. CSC believes in giving back to the communities where its people live and work, and knows how important this fund is to addressing the urgent need of community non-profits that are working to serve people disproportionately suffering from the coronavirus pandemic.
The Delaware Community Foundation (DCF), collaborating with Philanthropy Delaware and the Delaware Alliance for Nonprofit Advancement, is managing this fund.
"As the pandemic continues, the needs are growing and evolving," said DCF President and CEO Stuart Comstock-Gay, who chairs the fund's decision-making council. "We are calling on the community to help local nonprofit organizations get food, shelter, medical care, and other essential services directly to the people who need it most. We also must support our workforce, arts community, and other sectors to restore our quality of life post-COVID-19."
The Delaware COVID-19 Strategic Response Fund is giving out up to $350,000 in each weekly round. In the first round, $3.9M was requested from all 95 applicants combined, while the second round of 119 applicants requested $4.5M. Other local funders have contributed more than $2.26M, and CSC is happy to be one of the Delaware businesses able to help.
"CSC operates under a set of values to ensure we leave our clients and communities better off tomorrow than they are today, and this donation reinforces our commitment to Delaware," says CSC President and CEO Rod Ward. "We're committed to helping our neighbors prosper, making a better Delaware for everyone. That's why we've donated $200,000 to REACH Riverside in the last six months, and why we're contributing now to the Delaware COVID-19 Strategic Response Fund."
CSC has enjoyed tremendous growth since its founding in Wilmington in 1899, and continues to deepen its roots in the area. In 2016, CSC acquired the three-story office building at 2801 Centerville Road and completed renovation in January 2020. In 2017, CSC built its new state of the art, 148,000-square-foot facility that sits on nearly 40 acres in Wilmington at the corner of Lancaster Pike and Centerville Road. In early 2020, CSC purchased the Pennsylvania Railroad building at 112 S. French Street and is currently renovating the space to become CSC Station, an inspirational and energetic co-working space in downtown Wilmington.
CSC has supported more than 150 nonprofit organizations directly and also continues to match employee donations. To learn more about other COVID-19 resources CSC is providing, visit cscglobal.com/cscglobal/home/covid-19/.

with an article at New Jersey Fish, Game and wildlife website at www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/and found some incredible information on wild bears in New Jersey.
Extractions: We've all heard of the recent incident involving the tiger in Jackson that got loose and met it's untimely death. That story stuck a note with many of you who wrote to us and let us know your feelings on the subject. A few weeks after this incident, from out the blue, I was driving on Rt. 287 and heard a report on 101.5 that a wild bear had attacked a Llama in Morris County and had to be tranquilized. I was curious what happened to the bear after that, so I called the New Jersey Division of Fish, Game and Wildlife and inquired about its plight. I spoke to Bob Erikson, a knowledgeable biologist who deals directly with this problem and on the afternoon of March 25th at 2:00PM, he took a few moments to speak with me about Black bears in New Jersey. He told me he had a bear in custody as we spoke and that there had been 4 incidents of bears attacking livestock in Blairstown and in Lafayette in Sussex County. The bears involved killed a Llama, 4 goats and 11 chickens. As I spoke to Bob, he was on his way out to release a bear. I asked him to tell me what would happen to it. Their policy is to destroy any wild bear that is caught killing an animal on sight. If the bear is not seen killing, (like the one they had in custody) they will trap it and give it one chance in case it is not a livestock killer. The bear is tagged and given a radio collar to follow its movements. It is moved from its base, 20-30 miles away and then released. They are sprayed with strong pepper spray, (which Bob related is most unpleasant for them and the handlers to inhale) and exploding shots are used to scare the bear away from them as it's released to a new habitat. These are humane efforts to give the bear a chance. Bob said bears had good memories, and these efforts are to keep it away from where it experienced trouble.

(The strides made on this front are particularly important when compared with all other bear-shaped gummis. Other green and orange gummi bears regularly have a "watered down Kool Aid" appearance.) The taste of the Brach's seems to fall into the traditional "American lollipop" flavor, with a slight variation in taste from color to colorbut after five they all taste the same. The texture is a bit too soft, a bit too "fresh." These bears are flaccid. Brach's needs to remember that the rubbery consistency of gummis is not a negative trait.

bears, like all wild animals, must share most of their habitat with humans. Peopleenter bear habitat to hike, ride horses, fish, hunt, ski, and snowmobile.
Extractions: People and Bears Even though thousands of bears live in Idaho, people seldom see these shy "shadows of the forest" unless they are careless about their garbage or they hunt. In 1990, more than 15,000 hunters searched for black bear in Idaho; around 2,000 hunters find a bear each year. Wildlife managers monitor bears that live in hunting areas to make sure that the bear population can withstand the hunting. They also keep watch on how much bear habitat is lost each year and report that habitat loss is the biggest problem that bears face. Bears, like all wild animals, must share most of their habitat with humans. People enter bear habitat to hike, ride horses, fish, hunt, ski, and snowmobile. They also cut timber, graze cows and sheep, and operate mines in the same forests where black bears live. Biologists and wildlife managers strive to understand how bears use their habitat and how they react to human presence. For example, by studying how bears use logged forests, biologists and managers can recommend logging practices that have less impact on bears. They have learned that bears continue feeding in fields rich with berries if logging ceases during this time. Bears are more likely to return to a disturbed area if it is small, irregularly shaped and trees are left along streams, roads, and north slopes.

Restoring Jamaica's lost coral reefs – photo essay
News Source: The Guardian
Author(s): Christina Larson
Everton Simpson squints at the Caribbean from his motorboat, scanning the dazzling bands of colour for hints of what lies beneath. Emerald green indicates sandy bottoms. Sapphire blue lies above seagrass meadows. And deep indigo marks coral reefs. That is where he is heading. He steers the boat to an unmarked spot he knows as the "coral nursery". Simpson started working as a "coral gardener" two years ago as part of grassroots efforts to bring Jamaica's coral reefs back from the brink.
On the ocean floor, small coral fragments dangle from suspended ropes. Simpson and other divers tend to this underwater nursery as gardeners look after a flower bed, painstakingly plucking off snails and fireworms that feast on immature coral. When each stub grows to about the size of a human hand, Simpson collects them in his crate to individually transplant on to a reef. Even fast-growing coral species add just a few inches a year.
A few hours later, at a site called Dickie's Reef, Simpson dives again and uses bits of fishing line to tie clusters of staghorn coral on to rocky outcroppings, a temporary binding until the coral's limestone skeleton grows and fixes itself on to the rock. The goal is to jumpstart the natural growth of a coral reef. And, so far, it is working.
Coral reefs are often called "rainforests of the sea" for the astonishing diversity of life they shelter. Just 2% of the ocean floor is filled with coral but the branching structures sustain a quarter of all marine species. Clownfish, parrotfish, groupers and snappers lay eggs and hide from predators in the reef's nooks and crannies, and their presence draws eels, sea snakes, octopuses and even sharks. In healthy reefs, jellyfish and sea turtles are regular visitors.
With fish and coral, it is a co-dependent relationship. The fish rely on the reef structure to evade danger and lay eggs, and also eat up the coral's rivals. When too many fish disappear, the coral suffers, and vice versa.
The delicate labour of the coral gardener is only one part of restoring a reef and for all its intricacy it is actually the most straightforward part. Convincing lifelong fishermen to curtail when and where they fish and controlling the surging waste dumped into the ocean are trickier endeavours.
Slowly, the comeback effort is gaining momentum. "The coral are coming back, the fish are coming back," says Stuart Sandin, a marine biologist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California. "It's probably some of the most vibrant coral reefs we've seen in Jamaica since the 1970s. When you give nature a chance, she can repair herself. It's not too late."
Sandin is studying the health of coral reefs around the world as part of a research project called the 100 Island Challenge. His starting assumption was that the most populated islands would have the most degraded habitats, but what he found instead was that humans can be either a blessing or a curse, depending on how they manage resources.
In Jamaica, more than a dozen grassroots-run coral nurseries and fish sanctuaries have sprung up in the past decade, supported by small grants from foundations, local businesses such as hotels and scuba clinics, and the Jamaican government.
At White River, which is only about two years old and where Simpson works, the clearest proof of early success is the return of tropical fish that inhabit the reefs, as well as hungry pelicans, skimming the surface of the water to feed on them.
Jamaica's coral reefs were once among the world's most celebrated, with their golden branching structures and resident brightly coloured fish drawing the attention of travellers from Christopher Columbus to Ian Fleming, who wrote most of his James Bond novels on the island's northern coast in the 1950s and 1960s.
In 1965, the country became the site of the first global research hub for coral reefs, the Discovery Bay Marine Lab, now associated with the University of the West Indies. The groundbreaking marine biologist couple Thomas and Nora Goreau completed fundamental research here, including describing the symbiotic relationship between coral and algae and pioneering the use of scuba equipment for marine studies. The same lab also provided a vantage point as the coral disappeared.
Peter Gayle has been a marine biologist at Discovery Bay since 1985. From the yard outside his office, he points towards the reef crest about 300 metres (985ft) away, a thin brown line splashed with white waves. "Before 1980, Jamaica had healthy coral," he says. Then several disasters struck.
The first calamity was 1980's Hurricane Allen, one of the most powerful cyclones in recorded history. "Its 40ft waves crashed against the shore and basically chewed up the reef," Gayle says. Coral can grow back after natural disasters but only when given a chance to recover, which it never got.
The same decade, a mysterious epidemic killed more than 95% of black sea urchins in the Caribbean, while overfishing ravaged fish populations. And surging waste from the island's growing human population, which nearly doubled between 1960 and 2010, released chemicals and nutrients into the water that spur faster algae growth. The result: seaweed and algae took over.
"There was a tipping point in the 1980s, when it switched from being a coral-dominated system to being an algae-dominated system," Gayle says. "Scientists call it a 'phase shift'."
That seemed like the end of the story until an unlikely alliance started to tip the ecosystem back in the other direction, with help from residents such as Simpson and his fellow fisherman Lipton Bailey.
The fishing community of White River revolves around a small boat-docking area about a quarter of a mile from where the river flows into the Caribbean Sea. One early morning, as purple dawn light filters into the sky, Simpson and Bailey step on to a 28ft motorboat called the Interceptor.
Both men have lived and fished their whole lives in the community. Recently, they have come to believe that they need to protect the coral reefs that attract tropical fish, while setting limits on fishing to ensure the sea is not emptied too quickly.
In the White River area, the solution was to create a protected area, a "fish sanctuary", for immature fish to grow and reach reproductive age before they are caught.
Two years ago, the fishermen joined with local businesses, including hotel owners, to form a marine association and negotiate the boundaries for a no-fishing zone stretching two miles along the coast. A simple line in the water is hardly a deterrent; however, to make the boundary meaningful, it must be enforced. Today, the local fishermen, including Simpson and Bailey, take turns patrolling the boundary in the Interceptor.
On this morning, the men steer the boat just outside a row of orange buoys marked "no fishing". ''We are looking for violators," Bailey says, his eyes trained on the rocky coast. "Sometimes you find spearmen. They think they're smart. We try to beat them at their game."
Most of the older and more established fishermen, who own boats and set out lines and wire cages, have come to accept the no-fishing zone. Besides, the risk of having their equipment confiscated is too great. But not everyone is on board. Some younger men hunt with lightweight spearguns, swimming out to sea and firing at close-range. These men, some of them poor and with few options, are the most likely trespassers.
The patrols carry no weapons, so they must master the art of persuasion. "Let them understand this. It's not a 'you' thing or a 'me' thing. This isn't personal," Bailey says of past encounters with violators.
These are sometimes risky efforts. Two years ago, Jerlene Layne, a manager at nearby Boscobel fish sanctuary, ended up in hospital with a bruised leg after being attacked by a man she had reprimanded for fishing illegally. "He used a stick to hit my leg because I was doing my job, telling him he cannot fish in the protected area," she says.
Layne believes her work would be safer with more formal support from the police, but she is not going to stop. "Public mindsets can change," she says. "If I back down on this, what kind of message does that send? You have to stand for something."
She has pressed charges in court against repeat trespassers, typically resulting in a fine and the confiscation of equipment.
One such violator is Damian Brown, 33, who lives in a coastal neighbourhood called Stewart Town. Sitting outside on a concrete staircase near his modest home, Brown says fishing is his only option for work and he believes the sanctuary boundaries extend too far.
Back at the White River docking area, Rick Walker, a 35-year-old spear fisherman, is cleaning his motorboat. He remembers the early opposition to the fish sanctuary, when many people said they were trying to stop their livelihood.
Two years later, Walker, who is not involved in running the sanctuary but supports its boundary, says he can see the benefits. "It's easier to catch snapper and barracuda," he says. "At least my great-grandkids will get to see some fish."
When Columbus landed in Jamaica he sailed into Oracabessa Bay, which is today a 20-minute drive from the mouth of the White River. Oracabessa Bay fish sanctuary was the first of the grassroots-led efforts to revive Jamaica's coral reefs. Its sanctuary was legally incorporated in 2010 and its approach of enlisting local fishermen as patrols became a model for other regions.
"The fishermen are mostly on board and happy, that's the distinction. That's why it's working," says the sanctuary manager, Inilek Wilmot.
David Murray, the head of the Oracabessa Fishers' Association, notes that Jamaica's 60,000 fishermen operate without a safety net. "Fishing is like gambling, it's a game. Sometimes you catch something, sometimes you don't," he says. When fish populations began to collapse two decades ago, something had to change.
Murray now works as a warden in the Oracabessa sanctuary, while continuing to fish outside its boundary. He also spends time explaining the concept to neighbours.
"It's people work, it's a process to get people to agree on a sanctuary boundary," he says. "It's a tough job to tell a man who's been fishing all his life that he can't fish here."
But once it became clear that a no-fishing zone actually helped nearby fish populations rebound, it became easier to build support. The number of fish in the sanctuary has doubled between 2011 and 2017, and the individual fish have grown larger, nearly tripling in length on average, according to annual surveys by Jamaica's national environment and planning agency. And that boosts catches in surrounding areas. After word got out about Oracabessa, other regions wanted advice.
"We have the data to show success but even more important than data is word of mouth," says Wilmot, who oversaw training to help start the fish sanctuary at White River.
Morrow, a lifelong water sports enthusiast often seen paddle-boarding with her dog, Shadow, runs the White River Marine Association. She attends fishers' meetings and raises small grants from the Jamaican government and other foundations to support equipment purchases and coral replanting campaigns.
"We all depend on the ocean," Morrow says, sitting in a small office decorated with nautical maps in the 70-year-old Jamaica Inn. "If we don't have a good healthy reef and a good healthy marine environment, we will lose too much. Too much of the country relies on the sea."

In brief: our evidence suggests an average attrition rate of APC-charging journals of approximately 1.5% – 2% per year, depending on whether one includes or excludes the anomaly of a particular business model of a new publisher (Bentham Open) starting off with a very large number of journals and retaining only successful titles.
Solomon and Björk (2012) conducted a survey in 2010 of APCs based on a sample of 1,090 APC-charging journals that were listed in DOAJ at that time. Not all APC-charging journals in DOAJ as of 2010 were included; no journals listed in DOAJ as of 2010 that did not charge APCs were included. We compared this data with our 2016 APC survey (Morrison et al, 2017).
Of the 1,090 titles, 32 titles were published by publishers that have never been included in our longitudinal APC survey. Our survey is not limited to DOAJ, but is limited to fully OA journals that either have been listed in DOAJ in 2014, 2015, or 2016, or whose publishers have been listed in DOAJ in 2014, 2015, or 2016. Excluding the 32 titles, of the 1,058 titles studied, 849 are confirmed active in 2016, and 209 are discontinued or presumed discontinued for an attrition rate of 20% from 2010 – 2016. However it is important to note that Bentham Open is a significant anomaly, accounting for 123 of the discontinued titles from 2010 – 2016 and 4 of the discontinued titles from 2015 – 2016. Excluding these journals, the attrition rate is 82 / 935 journals or 9% over the 6 year period.
The attrition rate for 2015 – 2016 for journals studied in 2010 is 2%, or 19 of the 868 journals studied in 2015 found to be inactive in 2016. Note that 4 of these journals (25% of the total) are Bentham Open journals.
The Bentham Open anomaly reflects a particular business practice. This fairly new publisher has taken the approach of creating a large number of journals at once and appears to be retaining titles that are successful. That is, Bentham Open's high numbers of discontinued journals need to be assessed in light of the total number of journals. In 2010, Bentham Open accounted for 211 of the 1,090 journals studied. Of these, 84 journals were active in 2016. In other words, the number of discontinued journals does not necessarily reflect an unsuccessful publisher.
In conclusion, the evidence appears to suggest an average attrition rate of about 1.5% – 2% of APC charging journals sampled, depending on whether we include or exclude the anomaly of a publisher model of starting with a large number of journals on speculation and retaining only successful titles.

Step one of this guide will help you completely free yourself from any fear or anxiety about rain.
The second part of the guide will then help you to feel calm and composed whenever you see rain.
Just as you learnt to fear rain you can easily unlearn the fear and feel positive about rain.
Ombrophobia, is an abnormal and persistent fear of rain often caused by a negative past experience. Sufferers from ombrophobia experience undue anxiety about rain. This phobia can become quite irrational if left untreated.
Most phobias are simply learned patterns of behaviour that become anchored in the unconscious mind. The most effective way to completely free yourself of the fear of rain is to re-programme your mind by using effective self-hypnosis methods.
It is said that the conscious part of our brain accounts for about ten percent, which is why if you try to make changes purely on a conscious level you are likely to fail. By using this comprehensive self-hypnosis guide to break free of the negative pattern of behaviour and accept positive new conditioning in its place you will be using the larger part of your unconscious mind. This is why self-hypnosis is so effective in curing phobias and creating permanent positive changes. Follow the instructions in the guide and listen to the hypnosis MP3 download and you will free yourself from ombrophobia forever.
Glenn Harrold is a highly experienced professional hypnotherapist and best-selling author. His hypnosis CDs, MP3 downloads and Apps are the UK's best selling self-help audio titles of all time. He also writes self-books for Orion in the UK and McGraw Hill in the USA and produces hypnosis CDs for BBC audiobooks and Diviniti Publishing. Glenn has drawn from his past experiences and his expertise as a hypnotherapist to give you the solution you need to permanently overcome the fear of rain.
Download the 6,200 word guide and use Glenn's proven techniques to help you feel positive about rain. This guide offers a permanent and lasting solution to all types of rain phobia by first releasing destructive conditioning and then programming your mind to feel positive when experiencing rain.
Overcome Rain Phobia by using the power of your own mind!


Careers advice is available for girls in every year group. Mrs Varney welcomes girls to drop in to ask for advice on careers. She also runs specific sessions on work experience, CVs, university, higher apprentices, subject choices and applying for part-time or temporary jobs. There are separate drop-in sessions for IIIs, IVs and Vs. There is also one for LVI and UVI in the Sixth Form house each week.
Crossfire is a fun and informal way to explore the Christian faith. We meet every week to look at the Bible and to learn about God and ourselves. It is a great chance to think about the big things in life, as well as play games and eat cake! Everyone is welcome to pop in, whether with questions, doubts, faith or just curiosity!
The girls have the opportunity to undertake an 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course. This includes the responsibilities of the first aider, how to look after casualties who are breathing but unconscious, the recovery position and CPR. Sessions have included practical bandaging and first aid scenarios, testing the girls and ensuring they know what to do in an emergency. This is a workplace-based qualification which will strengthen the girls' record of achievement for future employment and provide them with vital life skills.
Training is open to the girls in the Sixth Form. It is a 40 hour course covering the following three sections: The Lifeguard, Swimming Pool and Supervision; Intervention, Rescue and Emergency Action Plans; and CPR, Defibrillation and First Aid. This course is awarded by the Royal Lifesaving Society. The girls are subject to formal assessment by an external assessor at the end of the course in a series of theory questions, practical bandaging and first aid scenarios, and aquatic work in the swimming pool. The award, the National Pool Lifeguard Qualification, will enable girls to find work on their gap year straight out of school, or use this as a starting point for a career in the leisure industry. The award is equivalent to a First Aid at Work qualification and is recognised by employers.
Scrapbooking club is a fun way of preserving personal and family memories in the form of a scrapbook. Girls can record all the fun things they have done in the past and since being in Todd and the IIs so they have something special to look back on in the future. Lots of sticking and drawing can be done in this session.

Our health care system is just as challenging, confusing, and daunting as our immigration system. When we send our loved ones to the hospital the only thing we can do is pray and hope that a cure is found. While we wait for diagnosis or surgery, we contemplate things like how are we to afford such care? Or how are we to continue without the financial help of our loved who is sick? We don't really consider what our doctor is doing. Nor do we consider if our nurse is doing their job. When we enter a hospital or medical facility we assume that our loved one will be taken care of the same as everyone else. Because the medical community knows more than us, we are left feeling when the medical community fails us. Not only are we lost and confused during the whole treatment, but even more so when the treatment fails or gets unnecessarily complicated.
Our Sherman Oaks Malpractice Attorney at Mancini & Associates are here to assess your situation and provide our legal guidance if you have medical malpractice worth fighting for. Unfortunately, most medical malpractice cases don't make it because the process is very long, expensive, and stressful. However, when you have a legal team who is willing to put in the work and supports you and your family, the process isn't so bad.
Contacting Medical Professionals: Just like any other legal issue, you must interact with the person who wronged you. You must talk to the medical professionals to determine what went wrong and how they plan on rectifying the situation.
Contact Medical License Board: In doing this you are taking a step in ensuring that the doctor or medical staff has been notified of a complaint. The board can't issue compensatory damages, but they can provide warnings to the medical staff.
Medical Assessment: In order for your case to really pack a punch there must be other medical staff willing to assess your situation and provide you with answers as to what should have happened.
Consider the Statute Of Limitation: If you believe something has gone wrong then you have a strict timeline to get everything in order to put forth a claim. You have three years to discover that some injury has occurred due to medical negligence. Once you discover this then you have one year to file suit. After those three years, you are not allowed to file a suit.
Consider Settlement: It is rare for cases to go to trial as most are settled out of court. If you are willing to compromise then your success is within reach.
Don't file medical malpractice on your own. Our professional attorneys at Mancini & Associates are here to help you every step of the way. We have the resources and education to get steps 1-5 sorted. Call 818-783-5757 or click here to speak to our professional attorneys at Mancini & Associates in Sherman Oaks today.

Trouble in Paradise: UBS Puerto Rico Bond Fund Investors Hit Hard
By Tim Dulaney, PhD, FRM and Carmen Taveras, PhD Versión en Español
Despite a 2012 settlement agreement with the SEC, UBS Puerto Rico continues to face new allegations regarding its sales practices of tax-advantaged closed-end funds. While UBS Puerto Rico did not admit wrongdoing when it settled with the SEC, an SEC statement on the matter said "UBS Puerto Rico denied its closed-end fund customers […] accurate price and liquidity information, and a trading desk that did not advantage UBS's trades over those of its customers." At the time of the SEC settlement, the firm placed $26.6 million dollars into a fund for harmed investors. According to new allegations, UBS Puerto Rico is said to have encouraged investors to use lines of credit – rather than margin loans – to purchase shares of its closed-end funds.
We have reviewed the UBS Puerto Rico closed-end funds involved in the allegations. The 14 closed-end funds managed solely by UBS asset managers in Puerto Rico (PDF) had total assets of $3.78 billion as of second quarter 2013.[1] Like other closed-end funds, the funds' shares were sold at an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and are not redeemable until the funds liquidate. Shares of the UBS Puerto Rico funds are sold exclusively to residents of Puerto Rico, received preferential tax-treatment, and are not registered as investment companies with the SEC.
The funds invested mostly in fixed income securities from Puerto Rican issuers, including a large allocation to Puerto Rican municipal bonds. The funds were allowed to leverage their purchases of assets. As an example, the Puerto Rico Fixed Income Fund could issue debt securities worth up to 50% of its total assets. By allowing purchases of the funds' shares using lines of credit, UBS facilitated further leverage in their customers' accounts.
Amid a prolonged contraction of the Puerto Rican economy that has impacted the island's ability to collect taxes as well as broader concerns about the US municipal bond market as a whole, the NAVs of some of the UBS Puerto Rico Funds have fallen precipitously this calendar year. For example, the NAV per share for the Puerto Rico AAA Portfolio Target Maturity Fund has declined by nearly 10% in the first six months of the year.
According to the New York Times, investors that borrowed on margin to purchase shares in the funds have "been forced to liquidate hundreds of millions of dollars in holdings in these funds" at the depressed prices to meet margin calls. In addition, a recent FINRA complaint against UBS Puerto Rico cited by Bloomberg accuses the firm of violating loan procedures required by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. by opening lines of credit to UBS clients and investing the loan proceeds in shares of the funds.
The dangers of the doubly-leveraged strategy have materialized. The funds' assets, which include bonds issued by the commonwealth government's notoriously underfunded retirement system, have dropped in value. For example, one such holding of the Tax-Free Puerto Rico Fund (CUSIP: 29216MBP4) was trading in the around $90 for the first six months of 2013 but has dropped to around $50 in the last few weeks.
Nevertheless, the funds must still pay their debt obligations, and so must investors that purchased shares using lines of credit. Investors have suffered significant capital losses and continue to be exposed to extraordinary risks of leverage.
