Clueless San Francisco
I love San Francisco, a city with great diversity and charm and on the fringes of bustling Silicon Valley. And I was about to literally sing their praise when I read the title of an article in PEI about how San Francisco's pension fund (SFERS) has split up the roles and responsibilities of Private Equity and Venture Capital investments. As if they had just taken to heart my article describing their skill sets as diametrically opposite.
But then I read further as "a person familiar with the program" describes the signals of the musical chairs of asset management that began to subdue my cheers.
The person describes how "The venture capital programme is at a size where having a dedicated person is critical" and how the new head of venture capital needs to be a person "who everybody likes", because "It requires an individual who can develop relationships and get organizations that don't need any money to take [the system's] money". I can hear the pre-911 Venture bells ringing again.
Instead, San Francisco's pension fund should not even bother participating in Venture, here is why:
Incompatible risk
Venture Capital is not a renewable asset class (or sector) as it lacks the economic construct that is compatible with the needs for groundbreaking innovation to tap into the massive and virtually untouched 80% technology adoption greenfield. Hence a commitment to Venture today is a commitment to a specific player, not the game. In the same way CalPERS has reduced its commitment to Venture to specific players. However, we do not believe pension funds are well aligned and equipped to independently formulate a cohesive risk profile from investments in individual players, which puts the people's money at even a greater risk.
Moving targets
A handful of VC firms make any(!) money consistently and monolithically in Venture, and tomorrow's Olympic winner will not be yesterday's, especially not when "Venture Olympics" are held every 10 years or so. The old-boys Venture Capital network is already hanging by a thread on excessive diversification, syndication and fragmentation, including investment networks complete with stacked and parallel funds in exotic green grass areas that makes everyone feel warm inside.
Lack of scale
The $16 Billion pension purportedly plans to dedicate $2 Billion to alternative assets with about $500M to Venture Capital. Given that a Venture Capital fund of less than $250M can hardly make a dent in producing viable returns for the risk deployed (as it avoids the wrath of subprime investing), a syndicated contribution of $100M per Venture Capital fund makes for five allocations. That is about the total number of VC firms that make any money consistently and monolithically in Venture today.
The problem with investing in Venture today is that it does not represent a viable asset class, albeit there are some viable players. And pretending Venture is an asset class yields overwhelmingly subprime returns that are responsible for negative trailing 12-year average returns for Limited Partners. The temptation to jump into Venture with a few hot IPOs on the horizon is high and will receive renewed interest from Limited Partners. But economically unchanged, the disappointment in Venture will again be greater than its rewards.
To make Venture viable for investment by pension funds a new economic model needs to be deployed that constantly calibrates the merit of investment arbitrage with the supply of groundbreaking innovation. Without it pension funds are better off trying their luck in Vegas.

Not trying to tell you what to do but well ... Install and play Titainfall! There I said it :) Anyhow I am not a fps person I really don't like battlefield or cod, but there is something to this Titanfall, sure lots of people round these parts are slating it but if me a person who sucks at fps games and not particularly fond likes it I am sure someone who likes shooters will. I can only play for a short time but I think that's just me in small doses it's great I just can't see myself playing it for hours and hours. --- Sent from my iPad via PowerGuides 1.10 | |
mcnichoj posted... You'll probably be doo doo at it and call it a bad game, just sell the code now and save my eyes the pain. I'm more objective than that. Just because MW2 was my last CoD, it doesn't mean I suck at FPS or don't play them. It just means the franchise lost it's luster to me because certain mechanics seemed kind of cheesy . I'm solid 500+SPM/1.5+KD player in BF games minimum, and was even better at CSS and MAG by a large margin. Hopefully the rest of the community isn't as elitist or presumptuous.

midgar posted... No, you can not has my robots just yet. I'm sorry. It has very limited "perks" and no Killstreak rewards. THe only reward is your Titan and it comes once the time reaches 0. If you enjoy Battlefield for the massive full scale battles with jets and stuff you're probably not going to get as much enjoyment out of Titanfall as someone that prefers smaller maps and player counts. | |

snakeyes01 posted... how the hell did u get 130 for the wii and two games ? A wii trade value is like 30 bucks at gs That's for older hardware. New model NSMB bundle with WiiMote+ is $52, with 50% extra when towards an Xbone, so that alone was $75, not counting the extra remote, etc. Did the 2 games separately (one was NFS:R on PS4), since there was a different deal making a new copy of FM5 $30 when you trade a select game, as well as 40% bonus credit. One year of XBLG was only $40 when bought with an Xbone. Good deal since I got the Wii bundle 3 black fridays ago for $99. --- [This sig has been stabbed by Ray Lewis] |

Offbeat: Paranoid lawsuit attempts to link Apple to Italian mafia
A new lawsuit from a Beverly Hills, Calif., man alleges that Apple conspired with the Italian mafia to secretly track him, transmit threatening messages to his iPod, and insert the word "herpes" into the song "Still Tippin'" by Mike Jones.Not just his iPod, Gregory McKenna is convinced that many things in his life were bugged, including his bedroom, living room, upstairs bathroom and Toyota Camry. McKenna alleges in his lawsuit that two iPods he owned an iPod shuffle bought on eBay and an iPod mini purchased in an Apple Store were affixed with receivers that allowed the Mafia to transmit threats to him.
McKenna believes that these well-coordinated "threats" from Apple and the mafia were accompanied by an uncanny sense of rhythm: Recordings of mafia members saying "I'm going to kill him" supposedly played in unison with a song on the man's iPod mini in 2008.
"The recording of death threats and other evidence," the suit reads, "prove that APPLE INC. conspired with the Mafia and other Defendants to manufacture, distribute, and sell illegally bugged iPods and other electronic equipment to Plaintiff to perpetuate the stalking, extortion, and torture."
Filed Wednesday in a U.S. District Court in Missouri, the 124-page complaint lists Apple among a host of other defendants, including the St. Louis County Police Department, a local auto mechanic, and "unknown agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation."
Perhaps the most outlandish Apple-related tale in the lengthy suit is a supposed subliminal message heard in the song "Still Tippin'" by rapper Mike Jones. McKenna alleges the word "herpes" was implanted into the song "to humiliate, degrade, and cause emotional stress."
In the version of the song McKenna claims he heard, the modified lyrics were: "Tippin' on four fours, wrapped in four vogues, HERPES. Tippin' on four fours, wrapped in four vogues. Tippin' on four fours, wrapped in four vogues, AHH."
The suit alleges he heard the modified version of the song on his Apple iBook G4 computer, Apple PowerBook G4, Apple iPods, and in three different vehicles, including his mother's Honda Accord.
The bizarre tale begins in 2000, when McKenna claims he was threatened by the Italian mafia at a Missouri night club. The suit alleges that the mafia tried to force the accuser into becoming a New York City fashion model.
"We're going to kill you if you don't model for us in New York," the suit says McKenna was told.
"Media sources report that the modeling industry has an infamous "shadow Mafia" that forces models to work for pay after fraudulently putting them into excessive debt, coerces them into the illegal sex trade, and then disposes of them," the suit reads.
The man claims he attempted to call the St. Louis County Police numerous times, but they would not respond to his pleas. His intricate tale includes numerous unnamed FBI agents, a plethora of hidden illegal recording devices, and constant references to "stalking, extortion and torture."
A high-profile, publicly traded company, Apple is hit with many lawsuits, sometimes from accusers who likely suffer from mental disorders. In 2007, a known frivolous suit filer claimed that Steve Jobs had employed O.J. Simpson as a hitman for the last two decades.

Kerry: Gun Violence Scares Foreign Students From Enrolling
April 16, 2013
Secretary of State John Kerry told CNN on Monday that international students – in particular those from Japan -- are scared of coming to the United States because of fears of gun violence. "We had an interesting discussion about why fewer students are coming to, particularly from Japan, to study in the United States, and one of the responses I got from our officials from conversations with parents here is that they're actually scared. They think they're not safe in the United States and so they don't come," Kerry told the broadcaster.
The number of international students from Japan is on the decline, but, as CNN noted, there are also other demographic and economic explanations.

The Central Bureau of Investigation on Tuesday clarified that it has not registered any Preliminary Enquiry in the investigation of Ishrat Jahan Case.
Earlier in the day, there were reports that CBI had registerd a preliminary enquiry into the audio recording between the Gujarat Chief Minister and top cops in connection with the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case.
In a statement issued by the investigating agency, the CBI said: "News Reports are being published /telecast in a section of Media speculating about the registration of a Preliminary Enquiry by CBI in the investigation of Ishrat Jahan Case…It is clarified that no such Preliminary Enquiry has been registered."
According to reports, an audio recording allegedly on how to derail Ishrat Jahan encounter case has been provided by suspended IPS officer G L Singhal.
The audio recording reportedly is of a conversation that took place a day before a SIT appointed by the Gujarat high court was to submit its report in the case.
On July 3, 2013 CBI had filed its first chargesheet naming seven of Gujarat police officers and claimed that the encounter was fake. The chargesheet had claimed that the encounter was a part of a joint operation by Gujarat police and IB officials including former Special Director Rajinder Kumar.
UD has proposed that original residents of 45 resettlement colonies be given ownership rights to their tenements.

The Greatest Writer of to-day
(With Maupassant I almost set him)
Said to me in a weary way,
The last occasion that I met him:
"Old chap, this world is more and more
Becoming bourgeois, blasé, blousy:
Thank God I've lived so long before
It got so definitely lousy."
Said I: "Old chap, I don't agree.
Why should one so dispraise the present?
For gainful guys like you and me,
It still can be extremely pleasant.
Have we not Women, Wine and Song -
A gleeful trio to my thinking;
So blithely we can get along
With laughing, loving, eating, drinking."
Said he: "Dear Boy, it may be so,
But I'm fed up with war and worry;
I would escape this world of woe,
Of wrath and wrong, of hate and hurry.
I fain would gain the peace of mind
Of Lamas on Thibetan highlands,
Or maybe sanctuary find
With beach-combers on coral islands."
Said I: "Dear Boy, don't go so far:
Just live a life of simple being;
Forgetting all the ills that are,
Be satisfied with hearing, seeing.
The sense of smell and taste and touch
Can bring you bliss in ample measure:
If only you don't think too much,
Your programme can be packed with pleasure.
"But do not try to probe below
This fairy film of Nature's screening;
Look on it as a surface show,
Without a purpose of a meaning.
Take no account of social strife,
And dread no coming cataclysm:
Let your philosophy of life
Be what I call: EXTERNALISM.
The moon shines down with borrowed light,
So savants say - I do not doubt it.
Suffice its silver trance my sight,
That's all I want to know about it.
A fig for science - 'how' and 'why'
Distract me in my happy dreaming:
Through line and form and colour I
Am all content with outward seeming. . . ."
The Greatest Writer of to-day
(I would have loved to call him Willie),
looked wry at me and went his way -
I think he thought me rather silly.
Maybe I am, but I insist
My point of view will take some beating:
Don't mock this old Externalist -
The pudding's proof is in the eating.

Shares: Take some comfort in furniture
But there has been a massive shakeout in the furniture sector and two companies, partly for special reasons, are doing very well and look set to do even better. One is Courts (Furnishers), at 664p. It has a remarkably successful overseas operation but is also doing better in the UK, helped by reviving demand and its growing chain of out-of-town Courts Mammoth stores. The other, much smaller, is Essex Furniture, at 140p, which is starting to roll out its successful Furnishing Workshop format. Both companies have recently reported profit increases over 50 per cent, proof of how successfully they are bucking the recession.
Unlike the fairly recently floated Essex, Courts has been quoted since 1959 and has been a great long term success for investors. This is despite the fact that its performance was lacklustre in the 1980s and has been held back more recently by the severely adverse conditions in the UK market.
The original success of the company, beginning in 1946 with one store in Canterbury, came from a growing chain of high street outlets selling middle of the road ranges of upholstered and dining furniture, curtains and carpets.
The family also had earlier experience of trading overseas with a chain of furniture stores which were sold to GUS during the war. This encouraged the company to go overseas with the new venture, setting up a chain of furniture and electrical outlets in English-speaking areas such as the Caribbean and Fiji, where it had the opportunity to be a big fish in a small pool. These overseas operations, with some bumpy passages such as abortive expansions in Hong Kong and Australia, have become a remarkable international success story.
Last year Courts' overseas sales reached pounds 117m, exceeding UK sales for the first time.
Profits from overseas were spectacular with the Far East (principally Malaysia and Singapore) reaching pounds 9.1m against pounds 5.9m, the Caribbean increasing from pounds 6.3m to pounds 8.2m and the Pacific/Indian Ocean growing from pounds 5.1m to pounds 6.3m. Devaluation helped but the group is operating in vigorously growing countries on a proven format, supplying customers whose lifestyle aspirations are on a sharply rising trend. The opportunity looks substantial.
The exciting prospect now is that for the first time in many years, the UK business may start to fire on all cylinders while overseas growth continues. The group has continued to increase sales and turn in reasonable profits through a dreadful trading period. Simultaneously, it has been repositioning the business away from high street outlets, where sales per square foot are around pounds 70, to its Courts Mammoth outlets where sales per square foot are up from pounds 110 to pounds 115 in the year to 31 March 1993. UK profits could easily move ahead sharply as demand recovers.
Paul Cohen, the chairman, while hardly euphoric, said that conditions were much better than they were 12 months ago. On prospects of current year earnings pushing up towards 40p, and plenty of growth on a medium term view, the shares look attractive.
Essex Furniture is much smaller than Courts but growing even faster. Interim profits for the six months to 31 December 1992 rose by 65 per cent to pounds 619,000 on a 60 per cent sales increase to pounds 5.19m. The product range is similar; the principal difference is that Essex makes the furniture it sells.
Also a family-dominated business, the operation was originally confined to Essex, where the factory and six stores trading as Essex Furniture are located. But in recent years the group has expanded nationally with larger stores trading as Furniture Workshop. The concept is working well as reflected in a mood of great confidence at the group. Michael Franks, the chairman, has promised a minimum of three new stores this year. My guess is that he could double that figure, which would be a dramatic rate of expansion.
Further out, the scope is enormous for a group that ended 1992 with only 12 outlets, in a market where much of the competition has disappeared. Expectations that profits will double between 1992 and 1994 are probably conservative. The shares look a perfect example of an emerging growth stock at the beginning of its run.

"The Novello Quartet was founded in the winter of 2002 to perform Joseph Haydn's rarely programmed quartet setting of the Seven Last Words of Christ. The quartet's passion for the music of Haydn and his contemporaries has led to an ongoing artistic partnership between four of America's leading early music artists. The Novello Quartet has been presented by the San Francisco Early Music Society, San Francisco Performances, Trinity Concerts, the San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival, and was the featured ensemble at the 2006 Mozart Conference at Claremont College. ...
The Novello Quartet was named for the members of the Novello family, Vincent, Mary and Clara. Vincent (1781-1861) was a church organist, composer and music publisher born of Italian parents in London, England. With the publication of two volumes of sacred music (1811) he founded the publishing house of Novello & Co, and was a founding member and later pianist and conductor of the Philharmonic Society. In 1829, Vincent Novello and his wife Mary undertook a journey to the continent, stopping in the musical capitals of Europe to hear the music of the day in churches and concert halls, and also to deliver to W.A. Mozart's impoverished sister Nannerl a small sum Vincent had raised by subscription in London. Among the musical luminaries the Novellos met on their journey were Mozart's widow Constanze, and Abbe Stadler, who told them the story of Joseph Haydn's commission from Spain by the Bishop of Cadiz for the Seven Last Words of Christ.

"Obsidienne, a vocal and instrumental ensemble conducted by Emmanuel Bonnardot, wishes to keep the medieval and renaissance repertoire alive in a simple, natural way, thus reconciling the art of performing and that of improvising music.
In a happy relation to poetry, theater and dance, often approaching contemporary, traditional or song repertoires, the ensemble keeps researching into forgotten or neglected works, and endeavouring to reconstruct the medieval instrumentarium, inspired in its work by the paintings of the Middle Ages' greatest masters.
Obsidienne sometimes splits into smaller groups, allowing more specialized, more intimate and more personal work. At its full strength, with up to 16 musicians, the ensemble offers a powerful sound, in which soloists and choir alternate, a must in interpreting the great medieval repertoire. Obsidienne owe their longevity to their versatility and to the variety of their performances, which enabled them to reach exceptional musical quality. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

"The Baroque ensemble Les grâces formed in the spring of 2008 in order to explore seventeenth- and eighteenth-century music. The ensemble's performances are equally inspired by the four young performers' passionate musicianship, as well as their collective study of historical performance practices at leading conservatories in Europe and the US. The name Les grâces stems from a long literary and artistic tradition. The number of graces varies in different depictions, but there were usually three. Daughters of Zeus and Hera, they were representations of brightness (Aglaia), joyfulness (Euphrosyne), and bloom (Thalia). Seventeenth- and eighteenth-century artists frequently depicted them as nude females, united by a sash, representing harmony. Taken as general symbols of love, beauty, and fertility, they are often accompanied by Cupid or Mercury, their male counterparts. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)
