Last year's trading princes reared their toad-like heads again in April, finishing -1.96% for the month and -4.01% YTD, according to the Newedge CTA Index.
Newedge's AlternativeEdge Short-Term Traders Index also finished the month in the red at -0.97% (-2.37% YTD).
On average, April saw a continuation of poor performance for CTAs, according to Brian Walls, chairman of the Newedge Index Committee.
"The current environment has been difficult for these trading strategies. That being said, the diversification benefits of the index have mitigated the size of the drawdown," he said.
However, not all short-term traders swapped their robes for lily pads last month. Some top performers in the Short-Term Traders Index include Revolution Capital Management (6.48%); Quantitative Investment Management (4.5%); and Banyan Capital Fund (3.85%).
Of the 27 index constituents, six posted positive performance for the month and five are up YTD.

Rick Perry the Gunslinger: Report Released from Brady Campaign on Perry's Gun Record
Governor Rick Perry's love of guns has been well documented and he is more than happy to share his thoughts on the matter, particularly when it comes to killing a coyote on a morning jog and his affinity for laser sights on his weapons of choice.
In Texas, loving your guns probably doesn't seem as wacky as it does to the rest of the country, but even here some of Perry's statements related to guns have been surreal at times. Those statements and his voting record are part of a report done by the Brady Campaign for Gun Violence on what they call "Perry's cavalier attitude toward lethal weaponry."
On their blog, the Brady campaign expressed their concern over Perry's approach:
For Governor Perry, "gun control is hittin' what you're aimin' at," as he told this year's NRA Convention. His extremism no doubt will hit the target in the GOP primaries, where the radical "gun rights" crowd will march to the polls in droves. In the ghastly event that he wins the Republican nomination, however, how will Perry's "gunslinger" schtick play with swing independent voters in the suburbs? What will they think of the idea of Presidential candidates packing heat at election rallies or kindergarten teachers with pistols in their desks?
Rick Perry may turn President Obama into a gun control advocate after all.
We personally think the best thing about the report is the cover with Perry doing his best Yosemite Sam impersonation. Yeeeeehaawwww!

Cyprus must pay an extra €6bn for bailout loan
Thursday 11 April 2013
The cost of bailing out Cyprus has swollen to €23bn (£19bn), with the crisis-hit country having to take on the lion's share of the measures needed to avoid bankruptcy, according to a draft report by its international creditors.
The document says Cyprus must find €13bn – an increase on the €7bn contribution agreed during last month's chaotic bailout talks. The money will be raised by imposing heavy losses on large bank deposits, levying extra taxes, privatisations and a part-sale of the central bank's gold reserves. "The sheer size of the increase has underlined the extent of the enormous challenges facing Cyprus itself," said Jonathan Loynes, an analyst at Capital Economics.
The Troika of international creditors – the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund – is set to grant the Mediterranean island nation a €10bn rescue package to recapitalise its shaky banking system and keep the government afloat. For its side of the deal, Cyprus was supposed to contribute €7bn to the rescue.
In the latest draft document, however, the Troika has revised the overall cost of bailing out Cyprus amid a gloomier economic outlook for the country, adding an extra €6bn to the bill.
The Cypriot government blamed the gulf between the original total and the new €23bn bill on the previous left-wing administration and the time it took to properly negotiate a bailout – delays which pushed the cost of recapitalising its banks much higher. A government spokesman, Christos Stylianides, accused former President Dimitris Christofias of failing to "take responsibility and complete indecisiveness" in promptly negotiating a bailout.

A Hungarian Cherry Tree's Long Trek To Michigan
Once upon a time, there was a small Hungarian village that was very proud of its sour cherries. The village was called Újfehértó. As in many Hungarian villages, tall cherry trees lined the streets and provided welcome shade in the summertime.
When communism came to Hungary after World War II, the government introduced big collective farms, and Hungarian scientists had to decide which cherries the farms should grow.
"They hired some breeders to go around to all the villages and collect varieties," says Amy Iezzoni, a cherry breeder at Michigan State University. "They planted them in a common garden, and they would pick the best [varieties]. Those would go to these big cooperative farms."
Újfehértó's trees won this beauty contest. Hungarian fruit experts gave them a name — Újfehértói Fürtös, which means "Bunched of Újfehértó" — and distributed cuttings to orchards across the country. It became Hungary's most widely planted type of sour cherry — and we should tell you, the people of Eastern Europe are passionate about sour cherries.
"They have cherry compote tastings, just like we have wine tastings," says Iezzoni.
This Hungarian cherry is different from America's dominant sour cherry, a variety called Montmorency. The fruit of Újfehértói Fürtös is firmer, more suited to picking by hand and eating fresh. The flesh is red, as well as the skin. (Montmorency cherries have red skin, but the flesh is clear.)
One day in the early 1980s, Iezzoni arrived in Hungary and saw Újfehértói Fürtös for the first time. She was on a voyage of sour cherry discovery, collecting pollen and cuttings from orchards and scientific research institutes. As I described in a story last week, she's using some of these collections in her breeding program, hoping to create, for instance, new varieties that bloom later, so that they're less vulnerable to Michigan's occasional late spring freeze.
But Iezzoni also wondered if Americans could "become familiar with a totally different kind of cherry." So she hatched a plan to introduce this particular Hungarian variety into the United States.
"I asked the Hungarians what we should name it; Újfehértói Fürtös doesn't work," says Iezzoni, laughing. They wanted a name with some link to Hungary.
"Well, if you look at a Hungarian map, about the only thing an American can pronounce is Lake Balaton," Iezzoni continues. "So we named it after Lake Balaton." (Lake Balaton, by the way, is nowhere near the village of Újfehértó; the lake lies in the western corner of Hungary; the village is far to the east, near Ukraine and Romania.)
Michigan State University and scientific institutes in Hungary jointly released the Balaton variety in 1998. It seems to be doing well.
Many Michigan cherry farmers are growing it, and in summer, you can find Balaton cherries at farmers markets across Michigan. Trees are available for sale from half a dozen commercial nurseries.
For every Balaton tree that's sold, a royalty payment goes back to Hungary. It's split between the Enterprise for Fruit Growing, in the city of Érd, and the Fruit Station back at the cherry's home, in Újfehértó.

Grafted tomato plants not gratifying to all
Fruits take long time to ripen and many succumbed to rot, Sonia Day reports.

View 2 photoszoom
Good grief, those grafted tomatoes!
The photo shows my gardening buddy, Liz Primeau, all tangled up in her tomato "jungle"— four enormous grafted tomato plants she grew in the driveway of her Mississauga home this summer.
The plants, part of Loblaw's Mighty Mato series, were planted in big pots and put on a mind-boggling amount of foliage. Her haul of tomatoes was great, too.
"We've been eating them since early July," Primeau reports.
Yet for other folks, grafts — a new wrinkle in veggie growing for home gardeners — didn't prove as gratifying.
Dennis Gillespie of Newmarket emailed me to say he has ". . . seldom been as disappointed with a tomato plant as with the grafted kind" and complained about "golf ball-sized fruit."
Other gardeners in Toronto, Oshawa and Kitchener voiced similar sentiments.
My own experiences were also mixed. Two grafted tomatoes growing in my garden are still doing beautifully, although the fruits are taking ages to ripen. Yet a variety called Lunch Box, planted in a large container on my deck, fizzled: few fruits and many succumbed to blossom end rot.
So I quizzed the gurus of grafting at Stokes Seeds in Niagara recently about these conflicting results.
First, though, for the uninitiated, a brief explanation about grafting. The process has actually been around since Elizabethan times (think of grafted roses) but commercial growers got into producing better veggies this way more than a decade ago. Now we gardeners are being invited to join in.
What you buy at the garden centre is a plant that combines two kinds of tomatoes. At the bottom, there's the rootstock — selected because it's tough, dependable and not as susceptible to disease and pests as other kinds. Then grafted on top is a cutting of a desirable-tasting tomato, maybe an heirloom like Brandywine or simply a modern hybrid.
And this "tomato tandem" is designed to produce great results. But what if it doesn't? Jim Inkstetter of Stokes provided these tips:
•If they're in containers, the pots must be BIG. At least 38 centimetres in diameter. (Liz Primeau's were even bigger.)
•Mix some compost into the potting soil. (I like composted sheep manure, because it contains fewer weed seeds.)
•Don't fertilize grafts with any chemical product. Dennis Gillespie used Miracle Gro every two weeks. That's a no-no, according to Inkstetter.
•Grafts may take longer to produce and ripen fruit than the regular kind of tomato.
•This summer wasn't a particularly good one for tomatoes. Too much rain and not enough sun. And in June, there were cold snaps, which tomato plants hate. (I planted my own far too early and they sulked for several weeks afterwards.)
Finally, my own tip: skip Brandywine. I know this is an idolized heirloom tomato, but for me it's always a pain, grafted or not. The one in my garden right now has produced plenty, but the tomatoes always crack on top and then those annoying black picnic bugs get in.
Will I try grafted tomatoes again next year? You bet, but I'm banishing that bummer Brandywine.

Lender won't fund loan due to HOA lawsuit
Our conforming loan for a condo in Southern California was just about to be going for docs and close escrow when the lender backed out. There is a civil lawsuit against the HOA for defamation of all things and the lender won't fund loan. They are now asking for the attorney of the HOA in this lawsuit to write a letter explaining the maximum exposure in this lawsuit. Is this common? To me the lawsuit seems arbitrary and has nothing to do with structure or living conditions. But then I did a search and found out that no other homes have been closed in a community of 300 for 5 months. What are my options as a seller?

The show is OK. It's not great nor is it awful. There's a lot of
pandering going on with certain issues that truthfully, have been
repeated to death. Funny dialogue aside, the story line itself is
redundant and all over the place. Not to mention that they portray
every damn cliché in the book. Overachieving nerd, idiot jock, bitchy
cheerleaders, bullied gay guys, pregnant teens and etc.
It's just another "high-school" show. Nothing new here besides the fact that people randomly burst into song. Take the singing out of the equation and this show would just be completely UNBEARABLE. Plus Slushies? Really? When does ever happen? And who in reality actually bullies the Glee Club? No one cares about them. People might make fun of the marching band because well, that's just tradition.
But what bothers me the most about this show are the characters, who besides a few look WAY TOO OLD to even be in college much less high- school. It's extremely unrealistic. The public isn't blind, most the characters look like they're pushing 30.
Also, the show seems to be getting worse and worse with every season. Ryan Murphy needs to get his act together because the advent of "Smash" has made it clear how much Glee is lacking. It's like comparing diamonds with cubic zirconia. You're not fooling anyone.
I personally LOVE this show. It's incredibly funny and extremely
refreshing. It's quirky and almost every dialogue makes me smile like
an idiot. The sex is also a lot more realistic than in other shows
(Since most of the time sex can awful and unsatisfying, not
earth-shattering like they portray on romantic movies and also, not
everyone is built like a model.)
I think people need to stop over analyzing the show and enjoy it for what it is; a heartfelt comedy about young women who traverse a complicated world filled with heartbreak and uncertainty with no one to lean on but each other. It's a unique take on an old idea and I will definitely stay tuned for more.

Wonderful experience topped off with the trip up the mountain in the power van. Great experience for for children and adults alike.
For people who love old trains, this is a must to visit.
Lots of history and nostalgia in this well-kept museum.
My heart is in pieces about the steam train not running between George and Knysna anymore due to the safety concerns of the bridge. I decided to go visit the museum to bid fairwell. All I remember about visiting George as a little girl is the train ride we had. Walking through the museum, did not comfort me. I was...
One of only two fabulous transport museums in South Africa, the Outeniqua Transport Museum houses an amazing collection of different modes of transport, but especially old trains, many of which you will never be able to see anywhere else. A MUST visit for steam enthusiasts, but a wonderland for any adult or child.
Interesting, my son loved it. I felt bit bored, we took some really nice pictures there though. Some old cars to look at also
Remembering trains as a kid it was amazing to see. Also seeing all the old locomotives and the old cars and silverware used on the trains. Even seeing the old vending machines and the story behind it. Something that really needs to be kept for generations to come.
Unfortunately, we arrived with only 20 minutes to spare as they close at 14.00 hrs on a Saturday.
So we had to dash around rather quickly!!
I had visited years ago and it is certainly a museum worth visiting if you like Railway and Classic cars.
The cars are all in tip-top condition and well wothr more time that we...
Fantastic place to visit
Very cheap to go in just a few Rand
They have some fantastic exhibits from trains to china
The perfect place for a family visit. Very clean and there is enough to see to keep you busy for 2 hours. I would love to see a decent souvenir shop as it is one of the few attractions that George has to offer.
Good to see that the trains are kept in a good condition and not just parked...
While waiting for my flight home , i decide to visit the museum. i was amaze at all the beautiful examples of the different modes of transport there. you could easily spend a few hours roaming around the trains and cars there.it is a pity that the place is not near a bigger city that will lot much more visitors...

3M Measures Daylighting Effectiveness of Window Film
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has been collaborating with the window industry to develop and evaluate daylighting technologies that can reduce lighting energy use by as much as 50 percent up to 40 feet from windows, according to Berkeley Lab.
An example is a collaboration Berkeley Lab has developed with the 3M Corporation. 3M developed a microstructured prismatic film consisting of linear multi-sided prisms 50 to 250 micrometers high. Results from the partners' simulation analysis indicate that a small clerestory window with the 3M dual-film system and a lower window with conventional shades can daylight a 40-feet deep perimeter zone facing south, east, or west in virtually all US climates and save up to 40 percent of annual lighting energy compared to the same zone with no daylighting controls.
Researchers in Berkeley Lab's Environmental Energy Technologies Division (EETD) corroborated these findings with measured data in Berkeley Lab's Advanced Windows Testbed facility (pictured).
3M has initiated partnerships with window manufacturers to incorporate its film in new and retrofit applications in commercial and residential buildings, and 3M is launching the product this fall.
EETD researchers are helping companies such as 3M by using simulation tools (Radiance, Window, EnergyPlus, COMFEN) and new measurement facilities to accurately assess where and how much solar radiation and daylight flux can be effectively controlled by new optical materials and systems. Using these tools, calculations of energy use and visual discomfort can be done more accurately and in a fraction of the time needed in the past. As a result, industry partners can now determine how well new optical designs will work long before they invest a lot of time and resources into prototype fabrication and testing in the field.
