Beverly Chandler, Opalesque London:
According to the second annual edition of research undertaken by research and advisory firm TABB Group and SunGard, 53% of boutique asset management firms identified 'institutionalization, including the increasing expenses related to regulatory compliance, as the 'make or break factor for them over the next 12 months. The report defines this as the growing list of operational and organizational minimum requirements an asset manager must meet in order to attract assets.
The report entitled "Boutique Business Model under Attack: Bruised by Regulation Crippled by Costs?" reveals that 51% of those surveyed find the institutionalization burden of due diligence and compliance as creating a barrier to entry. This now ranks as the top barrier to entry, moving last years top entry, the general cost of setting up operations, to the second spot at 44%.
"Growing operational and regulatory minimum requirements such as AIFMD, Dodd Frank and UCITS IV/V are leaving many boutique asset management firms unable to take part in the mandate process. Scale is the feature that boutiques believe they lack, and technology and better operational efficiency is the key to achieving increased scalability.", commented Adam Sussman, partner and director of research, TABB Group.

Franchise makes a clean sweep after move-outs
Send this story to a friend
- Christine Hall
- Houston Business Journal
When tenants move out overnight, they rarely leave a property in the same condition it was in when they first moved in. Often, the job of trash and junk removal is left up to the property manager.
Two years ago, two entrepreneurs who opened a trash-removal franchise in the Houston area saw possibilities for gaining a toehold in the commercial real estate realm, where companies constantly move in and move out, leaving behind all types of items they consider not worth moving.
Christian Nash and Rob Watson's franchise -- 1-800-Got-Junk? -- has found a niche that departs from the residential focus of other 1-800-Got-Junk? franchises. The Houston franchise is one of more than 200 North American franchises of the Vancouver, Canada-based company.
While most of the franchisees in the organization work mainly in the residential industry, Nash and Watson have pushed the commercial side. In addition to residential work, their work crews clean up industrial, office and retail properties. This work in the commercial sector has increased 10 times as fast as have its residential services.
"We are in the middle of a growth period, and as people find out they can use us, our business is picking up speed," Nash says.
Chet Philen, manager of Kirkwood Properties Inc., has used 1-800-Got-Junk? a number of times since the franchise was opened in Houston.
The property management company owns office, retail and warehouse properties, and has had to clean up after tenants who have moved out or were even locked out.
Much of the leftovers are of no value to anyone but the company, Philen says, but nonetheless must be removed to make way for new tenants.

Saturday January 4, 2014 MYT 7:57:09 AM
KUALA LUMPUR: The first floor of buildings and homes should be raised above floodwaters to reduce damage from the recurring disaster, said former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
Dr Mahathir said the first floor – lobby or entrance hall – of a building should be raised to about 3.6m or more above the level of the street with concrete walls surrounding the space below the first floor extending down to surround the car park below the building.
In the latest post on his blog at www.chedet.cc, Dr Mahathir said that a ramp must be built from the road to the entrance of the building on the first floor and another ramp for the cars to drive down to the multi-level car park below.
"The road will become virtual drains during the floods due to the rain or tide.
"This will help the floodwaters to drain into the canals or rivers as soon as the tide goes down or the rain stops," he said.
In the east coast where floods regularly occur during the monsoon season, Dr Mahathir said, the simplest solution was to go back to building houses on stilts like old Malay houses.
"The first floor of the houses must be above the highest floodwater mark. The stilts supporting the houses must be sturdy and buried deep in the ground. Concrete should be used," he said.
To prevent cars from being submerged in floods during the monsoon season, Dr Mahathir suggested that a ramp be built to allow cars to be driven up to the first floor.
He said the Government had spent a substantial amount of money for flood relief and by insisting that houses be built on stilts, the money would be saved.
"Part of the savings can be used to subsidise the cost of the stilts, at least initially. The house-owners or occupants too would save money," he said.
Dr Mahathir said if the idea was to be accepted, architects could design the stilts to look attractive while competitions could also be held for new styles of houses on stilts.
"If we don't do something, thousands will have to be evacuated and a few will lose their lives every year. And lots of money would be wasted on food, evacuation and repairing flood damage," he said. — Bernama

China says station attackers wanted to carry out jihad abroad
BEIJING (Reuters) - A group of people from China's restive western region of Xinjiang who carried out a deadly weekend attack at a train station were trying to leave the country to wage a holy war, state media said on Wednesday.
China says militants from Xinjiang, home to a large Muslim Uighur minority, launched the attack last Saturday in the southwestern city of Kunming, killing at least 29 people and wounding about 140.
Police shot dead four of the assailants and captured the other four.
Qin Guangrong, Communist Party chief of Yunnan province where Kunming is located, said that the eight attackers "originally wanted to participate in 'jihad'," state media, including Xinhua news agency, reported.
"They could not leave from Yunnan, so they looked elsewhere, and went to Guangdong province, but also could not leave, so they returned to Yunnan," Qin was quoted as saying.
They then went to Yunnan's Honghe county, which borders Vietnam, where they planned, if they were unable to leave the country from there, to carry out jihad either in Honghe or at railway or bus stations in Kunming, he added.
Qin said that "some people" who had been in contact with the eight were also in detention, though he gave no details.
There have been instances in the past of Uighurs who have turned up in Southeast Asia seeking asylum.
In 2009, Cambodia deported a group of about 20 Uighurs to China. Cambodia, the recipient of increasingly large amounts of Chinese investment and trade, was sharply rebuked by human rights groups for deporting them.
Many Uighurs say they are unhappy at Chinese restrictions on their culture and religion, though the government says they are given widespread freedoms.
Beijing says it faces a real threat from militant Islamists in Xinjiang who want an independent state called East Turkestan. Authorities say many have links with foreign groups, though rights groups and some foreign experts say there is little evidence to support this.
Qin said that lessons needed to be learnt from the attack, which took place hundreds of km (miles) from Xinjiang in a subtropical province better known for its scenic beauty and largely harmonious relations with ethnic minorities.
"(Our) awareness of terrorism was not enough, and we could not have imagined before that terrorism could happen here."

Seahawks' optimism pays off in win
Winning on Sunday was the Seahawks' sweet reward for their optimism in the face of a bad season.
Seattle Times staff columnist
ST. LOUIS — In the final seconds of a battle to determine the less shameful team, Deion Branch, the Seahawks' chirpy No. 83, turned clairvoyant. He predicted he would make a big play, even though his legs had been wobbly most of this season. He was so confident that he yelled his thoughts to two St. Louis Rams defensive backs, Ron Bartell and Jason Craft.
"I'm trying to figure out where I'm going to catch this football at!" Branch exclaimed.
Bartell and Craft laughed.
Then he burned them for a 45-yard reception. It set up Olindo Mare's game-winning field goal in a 23-20 victory Sunday at the Edward Jones Dome.
After the play, Branch was too busy to offer a told-ya-so to his previously chuckling opponents. He chose to celebrate by shouting at Rams fans who'd heckled him all game.
Never doubt a winner, even when he's losing.
"I was dead serious," Branch said afterward, recalling his prediction. "They thought it was a joke."
Throughout the anguish of this season, as losses and injuries littered their goals, the Seahawks have remained such optimists you don't know whether to be amused or annoyed. When they've admitted frustration, they've chased it with positive thoughts about their work ethic, persistence and character. They've vowed not to let the misfortune break them. They've considered this season an aberration and pledged to return to winning next season.
The cynics in the audience huff and refer to an inevitable decline. In response, the Seahawks shrug and say they're still alive.
One victory over a Rams franchise gone haywire won't settle the debate, but it does provide a reward for the optimists. It gives a jolt to a team displaying admirable professionalism during an unexpectedly difficult year.
It's appropriate that three of the Seahawks' most dogged positive thinkers — Branch, Bobby Engram and Seneca Wallace — graced the end of this comeback victory.
All three have endured trying, injury-burdened seasons. All three have endured low moments that leave fans questioning their futures with the Seahawks. Nevertheless, they continue to play with purpose, and at the end of a woeful season, a time when players of lesser character relent, they're helping the Seahawks stay focused and businesslike in their approach.
With 5:20 left in the game and the Seahawks down a touchdown, Engram caught a 37-yard pass from Wallace to set up running back T.J. Duckett's game-tying score. After the Rams pummeled him most of the first half with blitzes, Wallace rallied to complete his final six passes to capture the win.
Afterward, Wallace wept in the locker room. "Happy tears," his coach said.
"He was very emotional in there," coach Mike Holmgren said. "I've never seen him like that."
It was Wallace's second stunning display of emotion on this day. As the Seahawks headed to the locker room at halftime trailing 17-7, he screamed at his team, trying to inspire better play. It led Holmgren to give one of his fiery halftime speeches.
The outburst from Wallace was more motivational than angry, according to fullback Leonard Weaver. He was impressed with how his quarterback, starting again for the injured Matt Hasselbeck, managed to inspire his teammates without blaming them for the punishment he took in the first half.
"It speaks volumes about his character," Weaver said. "His main message was to pick it up. He wasn't calling anybody out. I was like, 'I'm sitting here watching this man get his head beat in, and he didn't blame us.' He had every right to, but he didn't. He was being a great leader."
The Seahawks have several good leaders. The losing has masked that fact, but this group has handled the trauma without any major controversies, without dividing into factions, without any finger-pointing.
It doesn't take away the sting of a 3-11 record. However, there's something to be said for the professionalism.
And after six straight losses, the Seahawks were finally treated to a positive result.
"It's been an interesting year, to say the least," Engram said, grinning. "I've said all along that we have guys in this locker room that won't quit. We were able to finish today. It was good to get a win."
Engram, who missed the first three games with a broken shoulder, has seen his production dip from 94 receptions a year ago to 35 this season, but he hasn't complained. He spent the offseason upset over not getting a new contract, but he hasn't complained. Fortunately, there is no Terrell Owens in the Seahawks locker room.
"There's enough going on this year without me throwing my two cents in there," Engram said.
It's much better to let Branch do the talking, anyway. The little guy is quite the fortuneteller.

Dog video: These boots are made for dancing
Sometimes it just feels good to bust a move.
Barkley, a shiba inu in Vancouver, B.C., was given dog booties to protect his sensitive paws from de-icer spread on walkways. Turns out that the boots aren't just for walking outdoors. They're good for a little dancing indoors, too. Here's "Barkley's New Boots: A Lesson in Interpretive Dance."

Following credit cards was, in order, FDIC insurance of bank deposits, mutual funds, and Federal laws that created IRAs and protected employee benefits in pension plans.

Test wheat seed germination if harvest aid herbicides were used
Welcomed, but perhaps untimely rains delayed wheat harvest in some areas of Kansas to the extent that herbicide applications had to be made to burn down weeds prior to harvest. Farmers intending to hold back some of their harvest for use as seed this fall should have that wheat tested for germination.
Some herbicides, such as glyphosate, are not recommended on wheat to be saved as seed. Most, if not all, of the common herbicides used as pre-harvest aids in wheat require that the grain be below 30 percent moisture before application. At or below this moisture content, the grain is post-physiological maturity and unlikely, or less likely, to be adversely affected. Seed germination can be greatly inhibited if pre-harvest herbicide applications are made at an improper stage of grain maturity.
The only way to be sure that germination has not been harmed by herbicide application is to have the seed tested by a professional laboratory such as Kansas Crop Improvement Association's (KCIA's) Seed Quality Testing Lab. A producer may be tempted to conduct their own germination test, but home tests may not tell the whole story.
Whether seed germination has been harmed by a herbicide is really only part of the story. Seed germination is relatively easy to conclude from a germination test. What is not quite so obvious is the potential damage may have been done to seed even though it appears to germinate.
The trained analysts at KCIA evaluate each seedling in a test to make sure it has all the essential structures to establish a plant in the field. The lack of roots or a damaged coleoptile resulting from a herbicide application may have a profound effect on that seed's ability to establish itself when planted.
It would be good if every producer plant Kansas certified seed, which has been professionally cleaned and tested, but if a producer has a legal right to use saved seed, we think it is a prudent step to have that seed professionally tested.
Information on KCIA seed laboratory services can be found at www.kscrop.org/labservices.aspx or, call 785-532-6118.

Wednesday, 08 May 2013 09:35 AM
The western Los Angeles County branch of the Boy Scouts of America has become the latest chapter to break with the national organization over its proposed lifting of a ban against gay scouts while continuing to exclude homosexual adults as troop leaders.
The council, which represents more than 14,000 scouts and ranks as the nation's 14th-largest scouting chapter, called for the Texas-based youth organization to go further by welcoming gays into the ranks of its adult volunteers as well.
In issuing its declaration on Tuesday urging a "true and authentic inclusion policy," the Los Angeles group joined at least two branches in New York state that have pushed for allowing gays to work as troop leaders or staff members.
The Boy Scouts of America holds it annual national meeting on May 23 in Texas, where a resolution will be voted on that would end the century-old group's policy denying membership to youths on the basis of sexual orientation.
The compromise proposal unveiled last month, which stopped short of allowing gay adults to work within the organization, drew criticism from both gay rights groups that want the scouts to go further and conservative religious organizations that sponsor troops and want no change to existing policy.
Alan Snyder, chairman of the board for the Western Los Angeles County Council of the Boy Scouts, said the members of his chapter's board have for more than a year discussed what should be its stance on the role of gays.
"We're hoping that by being visible on the issue, we can encourage others to have the temerity to join us," Snyder said.
The council is backing a resolution stating that no youth or adult shall be denied membership "as a leader, volunteer or staff member solely based on their sexual orientation or preference."
Patrick Boyle, author of the book "Scouts' Honor," about sexual abuse in the organization, said groups within the scouts, such as the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations, have long called for being more accepting toward gays.
"Normally it's just one voice in the woods, but now they're joining a much larger chorus so it might have a little larger impact now," he said.
The conservative Family Research Council earlier this year ran an advertisement in the newspaper USA Today urging the scouts not to change their policy on gays.
"As a father, I wouldn't want my sons to go on a camping trip with a teenage girl and stay in the same tent. Similarly, I think it's unwise to put boys or young men in a tent with boys or young men who are homosexual," said Rob Schwarzwalder, senior vice president for the Family Research Council.

RustyMy heart is of rich, bright copper oldAnd in it contained love and happinessIt's not my smile or eyes that are boldBut the joyous soul shines its goodnessAnd then I met him, a mysterious guyOf high status, an aristocrat if you willHe's charming, majestic like the skyHis grey eyes always gave my spine a chillI don't know what lured me into himPerhaps it was the danger that he emitsLittle did I know he was nothing but grimAnd he sucked out my life when we kissHeart and soul turned cold, a hard metal shellI couldn't repair it no matter what I tried to doThe love was replaced with something from hellAnger, sadness, misanthropy only grew and grewMy tears, like rain, touches my metal heart- now redIt's rusting away, until one day I must dispose of itIt is no longer beautiful, no longer pure, just deadI'm broken and tainted with vileness of an evil spiritLike a rusted robot, I need someone to fix me, a repairPlease clean me and help me rid of the painful memoriesThe ugly
first kissThere is no equality in loveWho willingly wears the tightest gloveAll must give what few can takeBrave heart dares bend far past its breakNo casual chance not to be boredGive to get true risk rewardNo one can win this dangerous gameWe all play still the sameWhile at the door pause reminisceOnly to remember that first kiss
Happy HappyTake these drugs and feel the fun,smile once and then you're done.Click our ad and try your luck,elation-fit, and then you're stuck.For just another little dimebe happy, happy, all the time.Melancholy's for the saps,put your boredom in our traps.Once you need a stronger fix,Give us money, get your kicks.Hear our pitch, ignore the slime,be happy, happy, all the time.Real worlds do not exist,lance that sadness like a cyst,Make your own world, make it true,Use our rules, made just for you.Where sadness is the biggest crime,be happy, happy all the time.
Illustrations of IncarnationsI know not what I say until it's thereEmblazoned and incarnate, soul as ink,As heady as a garden. How I thinkIn pen, perhaps aloud, and words will bearThose thoughts of which I suffer unaware.They weigh upon a heart that's apt to sinkHeavy with a truth yet indistinct;A challenge to myself of truth or dare.Now cast upon the paper they are freeWhere once they ran amok in charted space;Now ordered on the page, all I impartAnd I am whole at last in clarity.O words of hope which set my heart to race,You are incarnate now, in written art:My illustrated heart,For all there is of me is writ in youAnd nothing I say now will e'er undoThe ink on which I drewAll my incarnate thoughts, now felt and seenAs every stroke of ink makes up my being.
Hope's Triumph IDays Long Lost,Bear the heaviest costTo the heart's burden fixedOn memories' own Halcyon times.Be it that Fate,She for future hope nixed,Hounds us still of unpaid crimesOf which we serve, never consummateOf the penance sentenced to each his due,Paid in the brew of humility and rue.

IIIHope spirits on wings slow and broken,Sped on the flight whose end unspoken,Its receiver is ignorant of the imminent aid,Dodges the enemy's swiping blade.Before them, the path blearied,Under their feet wearied,As their tempests loom above never allaying.A bell rattles within their ribcagesThe knell the desperate resound,When peace is nowhere to be found.

rustythey called me little iron-heart,because i "only cared about myself."if only they knew the memories,that were rusting away on my shelves.the feelings came along with the pain,and back to the memories to start.everything in my life led up,to my gray, little, locked up broken-heart.i didn't care about anyone,because i was unable to care anymore.i thought i wore my heart on my sleeve,i thought my sadness was apparent, for sure.but maybe they just couldn't see past me,and see that my heart was a little dusty.so that's me, "iron-heart", the big fat jerk.well i'm sorry if my social skills are rusty.
Melody"Be proud of yourself",the words rise and fall."Look at what you have accomplished!",They hit against the wall."Be proud of who you are".They sing to me and to all.Hear the song,I respond,and rise.I stretch,and fly.The Melody,my life,and the reason to be alive.To think it's warmth,To think it's touch,would leave me in cold,and forever behind,was far from my mind.The melody brought me down,taking my hands in it's chains,never allowing me to reach and rise,in the light of the sunrise.Melancholy Melody,empty words,bad intentions,sends depression.Painful voices,Deceitful lies,Hopeless words,forever suicide.
