Defeat Diabetes
150 153rd Ave,
Suite 300
Madeira Beach, FL 33708
Walking 2˝ Hours A Week Prevents DiabetesPosted: Thursday, December 27, 2007
Men who stay highly active with age may have a lower risk of developing diabetes than those who taper off their exercise levels, a study suggests.
The study, of nearly 26,000 male runners, found that those who kept running at a level of roughly 5 or more miles per week were less likely to develop diabetes over the next decade.
Among 35- to 54-year-old men who were running fewer than 5 miles per week at the end of the study, the diabetes rate was roughly twice that of their peers who were running 5-plus miles.
Similar, though less significant, differences were also seen among older men, according to Dr. Paul T. Williams of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California.
It's known that exercise, along with a healthy diet, helps prevent or manage type 2 diabetes, a disorder closely associated with obesity. But it hasn't been clear whether people stand to gain more from vigorous workouts than from moderate exercise, like walking, according to Williams.
The current findings, he writes, suggest that "vigorous exercise significantly reduces diabetes incidence, due in part to the prevention of age-related weight gain."
The study included 25,988 male runners who were surveyed twice, an average of eight years apart. Williams found that the distance the men were running at the outset was unrelated to their risk of diabetes later on. In contrast, their running distance at the study's end did seem to matter.
This suggests that any benefits of long running distances are short-term, Williams explains.
Despite the findings, though, he also points out that exercise need not be grueling to be health-promoting. Other studies have shown that adults with "pre-diabetes" can cut their risk of full-blown diabetes by accumulating 2.5 hours of moderate activity each week -- primarily walking.

Leading the way into the playoffs is Sparks, which clinched the 3A's No. 1 seed in the Mount Rose League. The SHS hoopsters conclude their regular season tonight at home against Whittell. However, the Railroaders know they will welcome either Fernley or Dayton — which they beat 64-35 and 60-49 respectively in crossover affairs — to the Brickhouse next Friday in the first round of the playoffs. Being familiar with the Vaqueros and Dust Devils, Sparks is confident heading into the postseason.
"We feel pretty comfortable," Sparks coach Dan Schreiber said. "We've played Dayton twice and Fernley once. I think we've got a pretty good idea of what adjustments they've made since we've played them the last time. They're kind of similar in style so we can attack them both in similar fashions. So prepping for them both, we can do a lot of little things and little drills that can help. Once we know who we have, then we can really isolate that one team."
For the Maroon and Gold, the focus over the next week will be shoring up its small errors.
"We want to pay attention to a lot of control things," Schreiber said. "A good example is in practice we've worked on a lot of just ironing out a lot of control things so that we don't have any game slippage. In the Dayton game, we just weren't taking care of the ball. We made bad decisions when it came to who was going to shoot it, and when, and then just not turning it over. Those are little things that we will fix leading up to next week. We're just really trying to focus in on getting their heads on straight and really focusing on what the next two weeks mean."
While Schreiber wants his team to focus on the details of its game, there is one thing he said the Railroaders will have to do in order to take the 3A throne.
"If you look across the board at all the teams that are involved in postseason play in the 3A, whoever comes to rebound and take care of the second shots is going to win the whole thing. That's going to be the difference. If you take the top six or eight teams right now in the state, they're pretty well matched up. The difference is going to be who steps on the floor and just takes care of the rebounding side of it."
With the season quickly nearing do-or-die time, the ultimate prize is still in the crosshairs for Sparks.
"Our team goal is to win our last game," Schreiber said. "That is our goal, period. We want to put ourselves in a situation where we win that last one."
The Reed boys basketball team has surprised many people this season, currently sitting in second place in the High Desert League which would garner it home court in the first round of the Northern 4A tournament.
Dropping its last two games, a late-season falter has put that home game in jeopardy. The focus for Reed tonight will be to defeat North Valleys and ensure itself another game in front of Raider Nation.
"Momentum wise, we've obviously lost our last two games so we have a big chance to get a good win against North Valleys on Senior Night," Reed coach Dustin Hall said. "We want to go in and get that win to guarantee us a home playoff game. Anytime you can play at home, obviously the kids are going to be more confident and comfortable. It's a familiar environment. We'll have our fans there, our ball, our hoops. So it is important. If we can take care of business, that will get us on the right track. It's not the end all, be all though. To achieve our goal of winning a championship, you're going to have to win in somebody else's gym. It is nice to have the opportunity to play at home in a playoff game though."
The Raiders had a good grip on the second seed before their two-game slip. A victory tonight would save the No. 2 spot, setting up a matchup against Sierra League No. 3 Damonte Ranch, which the Raiders beat 80-66 earlier this year. However, a loss, and a McQueen victory against Reno, would drop Reed to the third seed, sending it to either Douglas or Galena. Reed lost to both in the regular season. Regardless, Hall said he is not worried.
"To be honest, it's not that big of a deal. Obviously you're going to match up better against certain teams than others, but if we're going to win a championship, we're going to have to beat three good teams. Whether we face them in the first round, the second round, or the final, it's going to be tough. We don't put a lot of importance into that as much as just getting that home game. If we're going to win a championship, we have to beat good teams and at this point everybody that makes the playoffs is playing pretty good basketball. I don't put too much importance into that because whether we play Damonte, Galena, or Douglas, they are all going to be tough games."
No matter the first-round opponent, the Raiders will need to tweak parts of their game to continue on in the tournament.
"We have to continue to get better," Hall said. "There's not a lot of time but we need to take advantage of our practices and continue to progress. Defensively, we have to continue to be better rebounding the ball, and then offensively, we have to get better with our ball control. We have to take care of the basketball and maximize our possessions.
"We've been real sloppy with the basketball. We just haven't been taking care of it, just too many mental mistakes. Defensively, we've been playing hard. We still have a few lapses here and there, but the energy and the effort has been great from the kids. We just have to get over that hump where we just play a little cleaner of a game. Still though, I like the way our team has come together and I think we still have our best basketball ahead of us."
In the case of a Raiders loss, Reed would not be the only team rooting for McQueen to drop its contest against Reno. After dropping its Tuesday game against Reno, cross-town rival Spanish Springs fell out of a three-way tie for the final two spots in the High Desert League. Now, with playoff hopes out of their hands, the Cougars need a victory tonight against HDL champion Hug, and a loss by the Lancers in order to keep their season alive.
"We know the scenarios," said Spanish Springs assistant coach John Rogers, who is filling in for head coach Kyle Penney while he is away due to a family emergency. "The kids know the circumstances and they know they've still got a shot. They're either going to show up and do it or we're out of the playoffs. I think the kids are pretty confident."
Knowing that they do not control their own destiny, the Cougars are staying focused on their game against the No. 1 seed Hawks and what they do have power over.
Rogers said that in order to give itself a shot, the Purple and White isn't going to change much from its last game against Hug, a 72-65 home loss earlier this season.
"We played with them for the entire game," Rogers said. "We had a lead for most of the game and we just kind of fumbled it away toward the end. At practice, we talked to the kids and we're feeling pretty confident.
"I think that we just have to do the same things that we did. We just have to do it for a full 32 minutes. Last game when we played them, we played our game for about 28 minutes. We're going to try to do similar things. We kept them in check for the most part, but at the end, they kind of took control. I think basically we're going to try to do the same thing but we're just going to try and do it for an entire game."
Despite the fact that their postseason hopes rest in some part on the result of the Reno-McQueen game, the Cougs are not heading into their regular season finale with a sense of gloom and doom.
"No matter what, whether we get the help or not, the kids want to finish on a high note," Rogers said. "They don't want to go out losing the last two games of the regular season and finishing 8-8. They want to go out with a win. They know it's out of our hands and we talked about it. The only thing that we can control is our game. They want to go out with a bang. We have two seniors, including one of the best players in the North, in Brian Smith and Brandon Delong. They want nothing more than to go out with a win. To go out with a win against the top team in the league right now, that's what we can control. I think their mindset is pretty good right now."

WASHINGTON (AP) - Three Republican senators are asking President Barack Obama whether he spoke to any Libyan government official during the deadly assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, last September.
In a letter Tuesday, John McCain, Kelly Ayotte and Lindsey Graham pressed Obama on whether he sought help for U.S. personnel who were under attack. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans died in the Sept. 11 raid.
The three wrote that despite testimony from senior Obama administration officials and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a number of questions remain unanswered.
Graham has threatened to block Senate confirmation of the president's national security nominees over Libya. The letter makes no mention of that threat.

I adored Wall-E from the first moment I saw it and have eagerly been waiting to buy the Blu-ray release. I decided to treat myself and I was not disappointed. The load time was fairly slow, but I have yet to find a Blu-ray movie that loads quickly. The Menu itself was entertaining and the extras were good too but I was completely blown away by the sound and the picture quality. An excellent movie with a wonderful picture, I cannot recommend this enough.

Student Loan Consolidation
Consolidation Loans combine several student or parent loans into one bigger loan from a single lender, which is then used to pay off the balances on the other loans. It is very similar to refinancing a mortgage. Consolidation loans are available for most federal loans, including FFELP (Stafford, PLUS and SLS), FISL, Perkins, Health Professional Student Loans, NSL, HEAL, Guaranteed Student Loans and Direct loans. Some lenders offer private consolidation loans for private education loans as well.
The only consolidation loan discount still available is a 0.25% interest rate reduction when the borrower agrees to have the monthly loan payments automatically deducted from a checking or savings account. (For historical reference, a separate page provides a comparison chart of previous consolidation loan discounts.)
Since July 1, 2010, all new federal education loans, including
consolidation loans, have been made through the Direct Loan program.
Borrowers can still consolidate both federally-guaranteed (FFELP) and
direct loans with the US Department of Education's
Federal Direct Loan Consolidation program at
Interest Rates
The interest rate on a consolidation loan is the weighted average of the interest rates on the loans being consolidated, rounded up to the nearest 1/8 of a percent and capped at 8.25%.
For example, suppose a student has just unsubsidized Stafford Loans originated on or after July 1, 2006. These loans have a fixed interest rate of 6.8%. When they are consolidated by themselves, the consolidation loan will have an interest rate of 6 and 7/8ths of a percent, or 6.875%. So the interest rate increases only slightly.
If the borrower has a mix of loans with different interest rates, the weighted average will be somewhere in between. For example, if the borrower has $5,000 of Perkins Loans (at 5.0%) and $10,000 of unsubsidized Stafford Loans (at 6.8%), the weighted average is
$5,000 * 5.0% + $10,000 * 6.8% ------------------------------ = 6.2% $5,000 + $10,000This weighted average, 6.2%, is then rounded up to the nearest 1/8th of a percent, yielding a consolidation loan interest rate of 6.25%.
Note that the weighted average does not fundamentally alter the underlying cost of the loan. It preserves the cost structure by including each interest rate to the extent that it applies to part of the overall loan balance. For example, the consolidation loan in the previous paragraph says that of the $15,000 consolidation loan balance, $5,000 will be at 5.0% and $10,000 at 6.8%, yielding an equivalent interest rate of 6.2%.
If you are consolidating loans with different interest rates, the weighted average interest rate will always be in between. Don't be fooled if someone tries to suggest that this will save you money by getting you a lower interest rate. The interest rate may be lower than the highest of your interest rates, but it is also higher than the lowest of your interest rates. More importantly, the amount of interest you pay over the lifetime of the loan will be about the same.
(For the mathematically inclined, there is a slight difference due to the different shapes of amortization curves at each interest rate. In the example given above on a 10 year term, $10,000 at 6.8% has a monthly payment of $115.08 and total interest paid of $3,809.66, $5,000 at 5.0% has a monthly payment of $53.03 and total interest paid of $1,364.03. If you add these, you obtain a total monthly payment of $168.11 and a total interest paid of $5,173.69. Using the weighted average, $15,000 at 6.2% has a monthly payment of $168.04 and a total interest paid of $5,165.01. So using a weighted average yields a very small reduction in the monthly payment (in this case, 7 cents) and in the total interest paid ($8.68) due to a kind of triangle law. Of course, when you consolidate the interest rate is rounded up to the nearest 1/8th of a point, so $15,000 at 6.25% has monthly payments of $168.42 and total interest of $5,210.42, yielding a slight increase. So you pay a tiny bit of a premium for consolidation, due to the rounding up of the interest rate.)
Previously some PLUS loans had a fixed rate of 8.5%. Borrowers who have PLUS loans with an 8.5% interest rate can use the PLUS loan interest rate loophole to reduce the interest rate on these loans from 8.5% to 8.25% through consolidation. Since July 1, 2010, however, all new PLUS loans have had a 7.9% fixed interest rate.
If there is any accrued but unpaid interest on a loan, such as interest that was deferred during the in-school and grace periods or during an economic hardship deferment, this interest will be capitalized (added to the loan balance) when the borrower consolidates the loans. The direct loan program capitalizes interest at loan status changes, such as when a loan enters repayment or is consolidated.
No Cost to Consolidate
Aside from a slight increase in the interest rate on the consolidation loan, there is no cost to consolidate your loans. There are no fees to consolidate.
Under no circumstances pay a fee in advance to get a federal education loan or consolidate your federal education loans. There are no fees to consolidate your loans. While other federal education loans, such as the Stafford and PLUS loans, may charge some fees, the fees are always deducted from the disbursement check. There is never an up front fee. If someone wants you to pay an up front fee, chances are that it is an example of an advance fee loan scam.
Who Can Consolidate
Both student and parent borrowers can consolidate their education loans. (Students and parents cannot combine their loans through consolidation, since only loans from the same borrower can be consolidated. But they can consolidate their loans separately.)
Married students are no longer able to consolidate their loans together. This provision was repealed effective July 1, 2006. When married students consolidated their loans together, each spouse became responsible for the full amount of the loan, and the loans could not be separated if the couple got divorced. To avoid such problems in the future, Congress decided to repeal this provision as part of the Higher Education Reconciliation Act of 2005.
Students can consolidate their education loans only during the grace period or after the loans enter repayment. (Loans that are in default but with satisfactory repayment arrangements may also be consolidated.) Students can no longer consolidate while they are still in school. (The early repayment status loophole and the ability of Direct Loan borrowers to consolidate during the in-school period was repealed as part of the Higher Education Reconciliation Act of 2005, effective July 1, 2006.)
Parents, however, can consolidate PLUS loans at any time.
Any Borrower Can Consolidate Into the Direct Loan Program
Since July 1, 2010, all new federal education loans, including consolidation loans, are made through the direct loan program. This includes federal loans made by a bank or other financial institution.
When borrowers who have old federal loans made through the federally-guaranteed student loan program (FFELP) ask their lenders about consolidation, some lenders respond that they no longer make consolidation loans. These lenders do not necessarily tell the borrowers that they can still consolidate through the direct loan program, because the lender loses the loan when the borrower consolidates into the direct loan program.
To consolidate any federal education loan into the Federal Direct Loan Consolidation program, visit loanconsolidation.ed.gov..
(For historical reference, prior to June 15, 2006, borrowers could consolidate their loans only with the lender who originated the loans unless they had federal student loans from two or more lenders. This single holder rule was repealed on June 15, 2006 as part of the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2006. Then borrowers could consolidate their loans with any lender and no longer needed to exploit the single holder rule loopholes in order to consolidate with any lender.)
The Federal Direct Consolidation Loan program has no minimum balance for consolidation loans.
Which Loans Can be Consolidated?
Any federal education loan can be consolidated. You can even consolidate a single loan. There are, however, a few restrictions on consolidating a consolidation loan.
You can consolidate a consolidation loan only once. In order to reconsolidate an existing consolidation loan, you must add loans that were not previously consolidated to the consolidation loan. You can also consolidate two consolidation loans together. But you cannot consolidate a single consolidation loan by itself. These restrictions have been in effect since early 2006.
Note that when you reconsolidate a consolidation loan, it does not relock the rates on the consolidation loan. The consolidation loan is treated as a fixed rate loan within the weighted average interest rate formula used to calculate the interest rate on the new consolidation loan. Consolidation does not pierce the veil on previous consolidations.
Since only the Direct Loan program can make new federal consolidation loans, the ability to use consolidation to switch lenders is limited. Borrowers can use a consolidation loan to move their loans from a FFELP lender into the direct loan program. Once the loans are in the direct loan program, borrowers cannot switch back to a FFELP lender.
When to Avoid Consolidation
Borrowers who have several loans with different interest rates may want to avoid consolidating their loans. Keeping the loans separate allows the borrower to target the highest interest rate loan for accelerated repayment by making extra payments on this loan. Doing so reduces the average interest rate on the set of loans, saving the borrower some money. If the borrower were to consolidate the loans, this would leave the borrower with just one loan with a single interest rate.
Repayment Plans
Consolidation loans provide access to several alternate repayment plans besides standard ten-year repayment. These include extended repayment, graduated repayment, income contingent repayment (Direct Loans only) and income sensitive repayment (FFEL only). If you do not specify the repayment terms, you will receive standard ten-year repayment.
Consolidation loans often reduce the size of the monthly payment by extending the term of the loan beyond the 10-year repayment plan that is standard with federal loans. Depending on the loan amount, the term of the loan can be extended from 12 to 30 years. The reduced monthly payment may make the loan easier to repay for some borrowers. However, by extending the term of a loan the total amount of interest paid over the lifetime of the loan is increased.
In certain circumstances (for example, when one or more of the loans was being repaid in less than 10 years because of minimum payment requirements), a consolidation loan may decrease the monthly payment without extending the overall loan term beyond 10 years. In effect, the shorter-term loan is being extended to 10 years. The total amount of interest paid will increase unless you continue to make the same monthly payment as before, in which case the total amount of interest paid will decrease.
You do not need to pick an alternate repayment plan. We recommend sticking with standard ten-year repayment, because it will save you money. The alternate repayment plans may have lower monthly payments, but this increases the term of the loan and the total interest paid over the lifetime of the loan. See our caveat about extended repayment below.
Repayment on a consolidation loan will begin within 60 days of disbursement of the loan, unless the borrower qualifies for an deferment or forbearance.
Federal education loans, including consolidation loans, do not have a prepayment penalty. So you can pay off all or part of your federal education loans without incurring a penalty. If you want to take advantage of this, be sure to include a letter with the extra payment indicating that it should be applied to reducing your principal. Otherwise, the lender may treat it as an advance payment of the next month's monthly payment.
Tools for Evaluating Consolidation Options
FinAid's Loan Consolidation Calculator can help you understand the tradeoffs of consolidating your loans. It compares the reduction in the monthly loan payment with the increase in the total interest paid over the lifetime of the loan. It also shows you the interest rate on your consolidation loan.
Despite the switch to fixed interest rates on Stafford and PLUS loans eliminating a key financial incentive to consolidate, there are still several reasons to consolidate your education loans. These include having a single monthly payment, access to alternate repayment plans, the PLUS loan interest rate loophole, and the ability to reset the 3-year clock on deferments and forbearances. But consolidation can cut short the grace period, although the grace period loophole can work around this problem. It is best to avoid consolidating Perkins loans, because you lose several valuable benefits. Beware of extending the term of your loan, as this can increase the total interest paid over the lifetime of the loan; you can stick with standard ten-year repayment.
Before consolidating, always evaluate the benefits provided by the current holder of your loans. The loan discounts offered by originating lenders tend to be superior to those offered by consolidating lenders, since consolidation loans have tighter margins. Also, if you received a fee waiver or rebate from the originating lender, you may have to repay that discount if you consolidate with another lender. It may be possible to get some of the benefits of alternate repayment plans without consolidating, such as extended/graduated repayment with a loan term of up to 25 years and a single monthly payment, if you have more than $30,000 in federal education loan debt accumulated since October 7, 1998 with the lender. (This is due to a little known provision of the Higher Education Act, in section 428(b)(9)(A)(iv), and the regulations at 34 CFR 682.209(a)(6)(ix).)
You can change the repayment schedule on your loan once per year. So consider starting off with standard ten-year repayment on your consolidation loan. You are not required to start off with extended repayment. If you find it difficult to afford the payments, you can always switch to extended repayment later.

Jewelry-industry trade publication JCK Magazine quotes attorney Charles Colman extensively on the subject of knockoffs
This writer has represented various jewelry designers whose work has been knocked off by others, so I know a thing or two about the problem. JCK Magazine, the leading trade publication for the jewelry industry, sought out my advice for its March 2014 issue, which contains an informative article entitled "Clone Wars":
The full text of the article also appears on the JCK website, under the alternative title "How Retailers and Designers Can Guard Against Knockoffs." The piece contains a list of cautionary bullet points, which the article's writer boiled down from our Q&A on the topic of knockoffs:

CANANDAIGUA — Sparked by opposition to a proposed rental registration housing law, Canandaigua landlords are going to create a landlords association.
Mayor Ellen Polimeni suggested the initiative during an October Ordinance Committee meeting — after seeing how the landlord group banded together in the face of a possible requirement that they register with the city. A group of landlords came out in force to gather more information and voice concerns over the proposal.
However, the idea of a landlords association in the city is not a new one.
Donna Bennett, a North Main Street landowner, formed the Canandaigua Landlords Association (CLASS) Facebook page about three years ago. Bennett said during the meeting that she supports the idea of a more active CLASS. While a plan for the group is in its early stages, Bennett said, they will meet at least two times a year beginning in early 2014.
The purpose of the group is to unite with other landlords to discuss issues and share tips, Bennett said. This can range from organizing a group to attend a City Council meeting to sharing contractor referrals, she added.
Downtown property owner Mike Yarger also started a CLASS Facebook group earlier this year — without knowledge of the existence of Bennett's page — and the two will merge, he said.
Other landlords in the city — including Yarger, David Christoforo and Ian Boni — have also been active in attempts to both form an association and represent the group at City Council gatherings. Yarger, in particular, has been vocal about his opposition to a proposed ordinance — first discussed in August — which would create a landlord information database. It's a law that has already changed since its initial proposal.
"It's no longer a permit process," said City Attorney Michele Smith. "It truly is just an information collecting tool."
She added that there is no fee attached, and that the original ordinance was based on a similar law in Norristown, Pa. — where City Manager David Forrest previously worked as a municipal administrator.
Despite the changes, some still vocalized concerns about having to fill out information every year, along with issues about the law not including businesses and single-family units.
"Are rental homes and its tenants seen as an inferior, second rate, less worthy, troublesome part of Canandaigua?" said Chapin Street resident Joann Kaufman during the Oct. 15 Ordinance Committee meeting.
The issue will return to the Ordinance Committee agenda in January. The remaining meetings for 2013 will be used for budget workshop discussions. City staff added that the need for the database stems from issues with a high number of rental property in the city — and past difficulty contacting landlords in the cases of emergency.
If anyone is interested in joining CLASS, contact Bennett at email@example.com. There is no fee to join the group; however, you must be a Canandaigua landlord to attend, Bennett said.

Endeavour's Adventures 2011
Thursday, 6th October 2011
October 06, 2011
'Morne Fortune' moved into a space opposite us on Foxtrot pontoon as it became available. They told us of their experience yesterday in Simi harbor when they suffered a little damage to their boat as a wave came in and rocked the boats violently causing masts to hit each other. Morne Fortune had damage to their stern stanchion on the first wave from a tripper boat entering the harbor too fast and on a second wave caused by the bowthruster of a ferry entering the harbor, their radar reflector and wind indicator was damaged. They left the harbor at 2.30 p.m. yesterday and arrived here in the marina in the dark and berthed on Bravo pontoon along with 'Sabine'.

A 2011 study published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows prolonged sitting is reduced when workers are equipped with sit-stand workstations. Among other things, increased standing among participants improved mood states and reduced incidents of neck and back pain. See this handy infographic (@ JustStand.org) for a quick and clear overview, or read this article (@ NBCnews.com).

The term "Sitting Disease" has been coined by the scientific community and is commonly used when referring to metabolic syndrome and the ill-effects of an overly sedentary lifestyle. However, the medical community does not recognize Sitting Disease as a diagnosable disease at this time.
Studies find a strong correlation between long periods of sitting and elevated risk of mortality. See this handy infographic (@ JustStand.org) for a quick and clear overview, or read this white paper for an in-depth analysis.

text: Saving for retirement is a nationwide problem — a recent study found that 92 percent of households do not meet retirement savings targets for their age and income. Yet for most workers, public policies are not the root cause of their lack of savings. For public school teachers, however, poorly structured policies put in place over the past few decades by states and cities can exacerbate their retirement insecurity.

Does VC (fund size) matter?October 4, 2012: 8:59 AM ET
Despite what you may have heard, big is beautiful.
By Tom Grossi, contributor
Many smart venture capital observers have lamented the emergence of VC "megafunds," like those managed by my firm New Enterprise Associates. For example, the Kauffman Foundation recently issued a report claiming that "big VC funds fail to deliver big returns," while Silicon Valley Bank said that "small funds have a better performance profile than large funds."
Yet the trend over the past decade has been unmistakable: Even as new limited partner (LP) commitments to the overall VC market have contracted, LPs have concentrated ever more capital among fewer firms with larger funds. How can the LPs be so mistaken if the superiority of small funds is so obvious?
One challenge is that we often misframe the question. It is unambiguously true that it is easier to generate a 3x return on a $200 million fund than a $2 billion fund. According to ThomsonOne, just 3.2% of funds larger than $500 million raised between 1980 and2005 have returned >3x to date, while 11.8% of funds smaller than $500 million have done so.
But is this relevant ? There is a higher probability that any given unprofitable microcap stock will pop 50% tomorrow versus Exxon Mobil's likelihood of doing so. But this does not make microcaps inherently superior investments to blue chips. Perhaps smaller funds are simply less diversified and, therefore, more likely to produce either very strong or very weak results.
The question we should be asking is whether small funds collectively perform better or worse than large funds collectively. And, given the noise introduced by the massive tech boom-bust cycle over the past 20 years, we need to carefully control for time period to have any hopes of detecting a true signal.
The most obvious way to do this is to compare each fund's performance and size to its direct competitors raised in the same year. This is not new thinking: It is exactly what LPs are doing whenever they talk about "top quartile" performers. The results may surprise you.
Over the last 30 years, the largest funds in each vintage have been far more likely than their smaller competitors to generate top quartile performance. Funds ranking among the 5% largest in their vintage year have been nearly twice as likely to be a top quartile performer as those from the smallest 75% in the same vintage (41% vs. 23%). Furthermore, these largest funds were only about one third as likely (10% vs. 28%) to fall into the bottom performance quartile.
And this large-fund performance advantage has proven relatively consistent over time, including over the past decade. Only during the tech bubble period of 1995-1999 was top-quartile incidence similarly (24% vs. 25%) achieved between largest 5% and smallest 75% of funds. In all other periods, the large fund group was 1.8 – 4 times more likely to perform in the top quartile than their smaller competitors.
There are other performance metrics beyond IRR quartiles. I refer interested readers to a February 2012 NBER paper that confirms that larger funds appear to be (slightly) advantaged when using other three other performance metrics:
For VC funds, when we control for vintage year, we find a strong positive relation between size and all three measures of performance [IRR, Multiple, and PME]. Funds in the smallest size quartile significantly underperform funds in the 3rd and 4th size quartiles. Fund performance, however, does not drop off with size. Controlling for vintage year, funds in the [largest] size quartile have the best performance.
All of this is not to say the industry should be completely absolved of its sins. The fact that larger funds appear to have a slight relative advantage does not change the fact that overall venture returns over the past decade have been dismal. This suggests there has been far too much VC capital chasing far too few great opportunities. The NBER paper formalizes this hypothesis:
"Vintage year performance… decreases with the level of aggregate capital…. [and] the magnitudes of these relations have been greater for VC funds [than for buyout funds]."
But the fact that there has been too much aggregate capital does not necessarily mean individual funds are too large. It may mean there are simply too many funds. This would explain the industry trend described in the first graphic -- while overall VC fundraising has contracted significantly, LPs have continued to allow the largest firms to grow.
Concluding Thoughts
This post was adapted from a more in depth piece that can be found here. I encourage readers with interest to look there and to the NBER paper for a deeper dive. As a teaser, some additional topics include:
- Statistical traps some other analyses fall into
- Is "fund size" even a meaningful metric?
- Why relative measures of fund size (e.g., largest 5% in each vintage) are more relevant than absolute measures (e.g., >$500M) when comparing over time
- Other measures of VC performance
- Is there a practical upper limit to fund size?
It is important to note that I am not advocating that VC firms seeking greater performance should just go out and raise larger funds.
First, the correlation we've seen may not be causal. Rather, it may simply be that the most proven managers tend to be able to raise larger funds. And it is the benefit of this experience (e.g., brand, dealflow, personal networks, …) that begets the performance advantage. Small funds raised by those same proven managers would still enjoy these benefits. Second, fund size must be interpreted within the context of the investment strategy and the organization executing it. A $1 billion seed fund would likely be difficult to deploy effectively, while a $50 million fund focused on capital-intensive biotech investments would also be ill suited to its task.
Every strategy has its tradeoffs. Smaller, focused funds can go extremely deep in one sector, building expertise without the risk of distraction from the next shiny new trend. But larger, multi-stage funds typically maintain greater reserves to support their portfolio companies during market downturns and have inherently broader networks of relationships – if they can effectively harness the power of them.
We view this as our challenge and opportunity at NEA. The limit to fund size is less about arithmetic than it is about effectively managing an organization where not everyone fits around a single table.

Webster City is known for many things - our parks, friendly people, rich heritage - but once a year, the community celebrates being the birthplace of the little Doodle Bug scooter.
Doodle Bug enthusiasts from near and far descended upon our community last weekend to share notes, showcase restored Bugs and swap stories about the little red scooters. The motorized scooters were manufactured in Webster City from 1946 to 1948 with about 40,000 units produced. Now officials estimate there may only be about 1,000 left in circulation.
Three cheers for the Doodle Bug Club of America, based right here in Webster City. Through its annual reunion, they are keeping history alive with stories of how and where their scooters were found. Members seem to take great pride bring displaying their restored Bugs. The best part is, they're sharing the stories with younger generations and keeping the iconic little scooter from falling into extinction.
More information about the club and the reunion is available at the website: wcdoodlebug.com.

I have a Intel R1304BTL server in my datacenter, and I need to access the BMC over internet, and I would like to do so by using port forwarding to the private ip number of the RMM module on the server.
I have no problem getting access to the main webinterface of the BMC on port 443, but when I try to launch a remote console, I get presented to the jviewer.jnlp file and run that using java. And after that not much else happens.
I read in the manual that the ports 7578, 5120 and 5123 are also used, so, assuming they run over TCP (the manual doesn't say), I have forwarded TCP traffic to those ports using ordinary portforwarding.
I don't really know what else to do, except setting up an IPSec tunnel, but that seems to be a little difficult too. Also if the BMC runs SSH I could try setting a few SSH tunnels up, but it is a bit unclear to me if it does so. Does it?
Anyone have ony suggestions on how to accomplish remote KVM access for me?
See Edward's question on http://communities.intel.com/thread/14488
Hi Dan,
Thanks for your reply.
I am not sure what the reply means, though. Does it mean that some versions of java on the client works and some doesn't? I have tried with the same client firectly and using portforwarding, where the direct connection is the only one working. So that doesn't really help me.
Also, I am not using a proxy, so that part doesn't help me either.
The setup I have is similar, so whatever works for GCC would probably work for me too.
Can you help me?
I think Edward wanted to know what version of Java was running.
There are a couple ways I can think of to approach this. You'd have to do it in a test environment first, of course:
1) Forward all ports to the RMM4. Make sure that works first. If it does, you're on the right track.
2) Packet-sniff the outbound packets on your client. You should be able to tell if there's any UDP also going out, that needs to be forwarded.
I know the RMM4 TPS claims they're all TCP, but it would be nice to be sure.
The TPS for the RMM4 also mentions that SSH is supported (see page 12(22 of 26) at http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/CS-032452.htm)
Hi Dan,
Surely very helpful suggestions you have. I will try it out tonight
