Being New York sports fans we're very familiar with the "Mr. October" and "Mr. November" nicknames, but if Rick Nash continues his late game heroics we're going to have to add "Mr. Third Period" to the list as all eight of his goals this season have come in the final frame. Including last night's game tying goal on Long Island…
Watch at NHL.com.
Here's Torts of Nash's clutch late game scoring…
"The great part about Nash right now is that the third period is his best period. That's a good sign for conditioning. He's been a huge part of our club. And as advertised, he's been a game breaker for us. And hopefully it'll continue."
…Nash has showcased his one-on-one ability all season, but it was encouraging to see him go to the front of the net without the puck and score a dirty goal. Can't always be Showtime out there, so it's nice to know his game is multi-faceted.
…man, he's fun to watch. In my lifetime, the Rangers have never had a player of this skill level in the absolute prime of his career. It's going to be an absolute privilege cheering this guy on for the next five years.

Website I found that deals with terms in the book.... these are copies of the Notecards from Ch. 24
Al Smith
A vigorous reformer as governor of New York, he became the first Roman Catholic to win the nomination of a major party for President of the U.S.
Amos 'n' Andy
The most popular radio program of the depression years. It portrayed the lives of two African American men in Harlem as interpreted by two white entertainers, Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll.
Bonus Army
Thousands of veterans, determined to collect promised cash bonuses early, came to Washington during the summer of 1932 to listen to Congress debate the bonus proposal.
brain trust
Several prominent academics recruited as a source of ideas for the Roosevelt campaign to write speeches.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
32nd President of the U.S. he assumed the Presidency at the depth of the Great Depression and he helped the American people regain faith in themselves. He brought hope as he promised prompt, vigorous action, and asserted in his Inaugural Address, "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
Good Neighbor Policy
In Latin America, Hoover withdrew Marines from Nicaragua and Haiti. In 1930, the State Department renounced the Roosevelt Corollary of 1904.
Makeshift "village," usually on the edge of a city, with "homes" constructed of cardboard, scrap metal, or whatever was cheaply available. Named for President Hoover, who was despised by the poor for his apparent refusal to help.
John Nance "Cactus Jack" Garner
Speaker of the House in 1931 whose answer to the growing budget deficit was to offer a national sales tax. He also ran against Roosevelt for the Democratic nomination for president but decided to release his delegates and was in turn rewarded the vice presidential nomination.


text: No date has been set for when Frank Fagan will formally be sworn in as Lieutenant Governor, but his appointment is drawing mixed political reaction. The NDP calls it a missed opportunity to appoint the first woman to the job, but the Liberals are downplaying the issue of gender. NTV's Michael Connors reports.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
FDA yesterday halted Amgen's pediatric clinical trials for its thyroid drug Sensipar® (cinacalcet hydrochloride), following the death of a 14-year-old patient during one trial.
The agency sent a letter to healthcare professionals stating it is investigating the circumstances of the patient's death, while stressing it had not yet come to a conclusion about Sensipar's role in that death. The agency promised it "will communicate our final conclusions and recommendations when our review is complete."
The 14-year-old died during a trial to assess whether Sensipar can be used safely and effectively in minors under 18 years of age. Of three Amgen-sponsored pediatric trials of the drug listed on Clinicaltrials.gov as recruiting patients, only one was recruiting patients as old as the victim—a Phase III trial assessing Sensipar's safety and efficacy in pediatric patients ages 6–17 with chronic kidney disease, for which information was updated this month. That study had an estimated Primary Completion Date, entailing final data collection for the primary outcome measure, of November 2014, with the study estimated to be completed in September 2015.
The two other Amgen-sponsored pediatric trials for the drug involved patients ages 28 days to 6 years. A Phase II trial, with data updated this month, will assess Sensipar's safety and tolerability in pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Estimated completion date for that study is February 2016.
Information was last updated in July for a third Amgen-sponsored pediatric trial, a Phase I study to evaluate safety and tolerability of the drug in pediatric subjects 28 days to up to 6 years of age with chronic kidney disease receiving dialysis. Completion date estimated for that study is November 2013.
In past adult clinical trials, the most frequently reported side effects of Sensipar were nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, according to FDA.
Sensipar is a calcium-sensing receptor agonist indicated in adults for:
"Amgen is working as rapidly as possible to understand the circumstances of what happened. This analysis is ongoing and will be concluded as quickly as possible," the company said in a statement.
Launched in 2004 and sold in some countries under the brand name Mimpara®, Sensipar racked up $256 million in fourth-quarter sales last year, up 19% from Q4 2011, and $950 million in sales for all of 2012, up 18% from the previous year. Amgen credited the sales gains to increases in units sold, and in the price of the drug.
News of the Sensipar trial death did not appear to shake investor confidence in Amgen stock, as shares of the biotech giant finished trading yesterday at $89.47, down only 8 cents from Monday. Over the past year, the price of Amgen shares has risen more than 30%.

Flu season arrives in Erie County
A virulent flu strain that puts young, otherwise healthy people in the hospital has arrived in Erie County.
Ninety-five flu cases have been reported to the Erie County Department of Health this season through Monday at 11 a.m., said Charlotte Berringer, director of community health for the county Health Department.
"It seems to be hitting young adults," Berringer said.
"Nearly half (45 cases) involve people between 26 and 49 years of age."
Nine of the county's first 59 cases were hospitalized, an unusually high percentage, Berringer said.
The good news is that the prevalent strain in the United States appears to be H1N1, which is covered in this year's flu vaccine. H1N1 targets young adults and can cause severe, even life-threatening illness, said Howard Nadworny, M.D., Saint Vincent Hospital's chief of infection control.
"You need to get a flu shot," Nadworny said. "That's the one thing that will help you right now."
Flu cases started appearing in Saint Vincent's emergency room around Christmas, said Matthew McCarthy, D.O., a Saint Vincent emergency physician.
"Some of these patients are really sick," McCarthy said. "We have one patient -- a young, healthy man -- who came in with the flu and has pneumonia in both lungs. He's in our (intensive care) unit."
Pneumonia is the most common life-threatening side effect from the flu, though most people recover from the flu on their own within seven to 10 days.
Those most at risk from complications are the very young, the very old and those with heart failure, asthma and other chronic illnesses, Berringer said.
"That's why it's so important for those people to get a flu shot," Berringer said. "It can still be effective, though it takes two weeks for full immunity to develop."
Flu vaccine is still available at many local pharmacies and physician offices.
Brad Fox, M.D., a family physician with Saint Vincent's Liberty Family Practice, said he tries to convince every patient he sees to get vaccinated.
"I even have the nurses put the syringes right in the exam room, so I can't forget them," Fox said. "If the patient says they don't want it, I can usually goad them into getting one."
Fox also recommended frequent hand washing and not shaking hands as ways to reduce your chances of getting the flu.
Flu is spread mainly by droplets made when people with flu cough, sneeze or talk. These droplets land in the mouths or noses of nearby people, or possibly are inhaled into the lungs.

This is the one and only Neil Bold, designed by Wayne Stettler in 1966 and originally published as a Typositor typeface. An award-winner and instant celebrity upon its release, Neil Bold became synonymous with magnified modernism for a whole generation. It was a jazz record packaging favorite, especially at Blue Note records, and made regular appearances on science fiction book covers during the last stretch of the genre's golden age. This digital version greatly expands on the film type one. New small caps and biform styles were added to the authentically revived main face (for a set of three fonts), and language support has been extended to include all Latin-based tongues. Neil Bold Pro comes in a single font that combines all three character sets with programmed features for small caps, stylistic alternates (for biform shapes), a few extra alternates, class-based kerning, and additional language support for Cyrillic and Greek scripts.

Jason Richardson has agreed to a four-year, $25 million deal with the Orlando Magic, according to Yahoo! Sports.
Magic GM Otis Smith told the Orlando Sentinel on Saturday that a deal between the two sides is close.
Richardson, 30, averaged 13.9 points and 4.0 rebounds with the Magic after they acquired him from Phoenix midseason. On the season, he averaged 15.6 points, his lowest such total since his second year in the league (Golden State Warriors in 2002-03).
Despite those declining numbers, Richardson was one of the most sought-after swingmen on the market and was believed to be a target of the Chicago Bulls.
The effect Richardson's presence has on Dwight Howard, who requested a trade on Saturday and shares an agent with Richardson, remains to be seen.
"Actually Jason and I are close to terms, with Dan (Fegan) we are close to terms," Smith told reporters. "He's expected in camp if not tomorrow, then Monday."

Stella Blues Cafe started off humbly and in another spot in Kihei. It was a hip, little eatery, named after the founder's favorite Grateful Dead song.
After moving almost a decade ago to its prime spot at Azeka Mauka shopping center off South Kihei Road and Piikea Street, it just keeps on truckin.'
The next generation runs the show, and they always have something new on their plates. These days, it's a lively breakfast, lunch and dinner restaurant with a new chef, menu items, fun dinner shows and a full slate of catering.
Article Photos
"I'm changing a few things on the dinner menu, but nothing drastic," says new Executive Chef Josh Brumblay. "Because Stella Blues Cafe is already so famous for what it serves. Even though I have a background in fine dining, I'm going to keep it casual and fun. Savor free-range chicken, which I first stuff with ham and pepper-jack cheese, serve with mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables and then finish in red-pepper cream sauce."

Baby-back ribs and all of the sides
"Josh Brumblay is our new chef," says Cindy Eiting, a partner in the business with Kale Boverman. "He's a Maui boy, who went to Baldwin High School, and then he went away to Napa to the Culinary Institute of America, where he put the classic polishes on his career."
In recent years, Brumblay has cooked at Five Palms Beach Grill in Keawakapu, and for Nick's Fishmarket at Fairmont Kea Lani Maui in Wailea.
"I am excited to be heading the Stella's team," says Brumblay. "I am happy to be reacquainted with my good friend and staff manager, Sergio Oliveira, from back in my old Carelli's on the Beach days. I am also looking forward to rolling out a new menu which will still have the home-style comfort food that Stella's is known for, and I'll add my own flare to step it up a bit."
Fact Box
What: Stella Blues Cafe, a casual restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, fun lounge, dinner shows and full-service catering.
Where: 1279 S. Kihei Road, Azeka Mauka shopping Center in Kihei. You will find plenty of free parking.
Hours: Open daily. Breakfast is served from 7:30 a.m. until 11 a.m. on weekdays and until 1 p.m. weekends. Lunch runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; happy hour from 4 to 6 p.m.; dinner is 5 p.m. until closing.
Happy hour: Dive into reasonably priced chicken wings, fish and chips, quesadillas, taquitos, shrimp cocktail and more. Prices are $5 to $10. You may sip domestic beer for $2; imports, $3; well drinks and wines, $4; and mai tais and margaritas, $5.
Menu highlights: Tofu scramble and wavy gravy loco moco; spinach and Greek salads; house hummus; New York steaks, and yellow veggie and tofu curry.
For reservations: Call 874-3779; for more details, visit the website at www.stellablues.com.
New dishes rolling out of the kitchen as I write this include sesame-encrusted fresh fish with shiitake mushrooms, sake, and soy butter sauce with steamed white rice and baby bok choy; and jerk-spiced grilled pork chop with mashed potatoes, asparagus and pineapple-rum sauce.
Brumblay is also doing justice to his new free-range chicken that he stuffs with ham and pepper-jack cheese and serves with mashed potatoes, vegetables and finishes with roasted red-pepper cream sauce. Sip a nice glass of wine and you'll think you're in a fine-dining restaurant.
After all, fine dining is his specialty. Lucky for diners, Stella Blue's prices are more moderate, in the cafe range.
"Stella's has an amazing wine list with pricing significantly lower than you will find other places," says Eiting.
House wines are $6 a glass and you will find bottles of both red and white starting around the $24 range.
In addition, Stella's is rocking these days on a regular basis with dinner shows. We were fortunate to catch Amy Hanaiali'i with her brother, Eric Gilliom, and Michael Ruff performing funk and Hawaiian to a sea of other performers in the room.
"Our next big show is John Cruz. August 26 and 27,"?Eiting says. " We're very excited to have some of Hawaii's best performers join us at Stella's Supper Clubs. Names like Paula Fuga, Makana and Barry Flanagan. For only $60, you get a fabulous four- course dinner and a show."
Every Wednesday from 7 to 10 p.m., you may also chill to saxophonist David Choy and his group of amazing musicians that jam with him. No cover charge.
"We're doing tons and tons of catering, too," says Eiting. "We do off-site weddings and we also have our fabulous back room for company Christmas parties and other private functions."
You may do appetizers passed or plated, such as ahi poke on saimin spoons, stuffed mushroom caps, mini Caprese skewers with balsamic reductions and more. Or order soup shots, from gazpacho to chilled sweet melon with prosciutto.
"We also have catering buffets such as the Atlantis, the Neptune and the prime rib, priced from $38 to $48 per person. We even have a display station of appetizers. You get a selection of three for $12 per person. We are getting really big in Maui's catering world and look forward to serving you here or at your off-site venue."

Forest fire breaks out at Wilgus State ParkStaff Report | May 01,2013ASCUTNEY - About 20 trucks from many local fire departments responded to a forest fire Wednesday afternoon near Wilgus State Park.
The fire started around 1 p.m. and firefighters got it under control by 3:30 p.m., according to Ascutney Fire Chief Darrin Spaulding.
The fire had spread to about 3 acres before it was controlled, he said.
The chief said he believed the fire was started by motorcyclists at the scene off Route 5 south of Ascutney, across from Wilgus State Park.
Other forest or brush fires were also reported in Windsor and nearby Cornish, N.H., as well as in Hardwick in northern Vermont.
Spaulding said he had received instructions from the state level not to issue any further burn permits due to dry conditions.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER After sitting on the Vermont Supreme Court for nearly 30 years, Justice John Dooley...

"Yup, everyone at business school still wants to do PE – even after the financial crisis, recession, and everything that followed."
I was speaking with an MBA admissions consultant a few months ago, and she mentioned this point as if it were a surprise (that's only true if you haven't been reading this site…).
We've featured plenty of advice on how to get into private equity before, but today I wanted to do something different and ask a Partner at a fund for his tips on how to break in.
With almost 20 years of experience, he's been through everything from frothy markets to recessions – and he can tell you exactly what the Partners at private equity firms who ultimately make the hiring decisions are really looking for, including:
- How to break into the industry at the junior, mid and senior levels
- How to craft your resume, spin your deal experience, dominate your private equity interviews and what interviewers really want to see
- The structure and hierarchy at a private equity firm and the different roles available
- The PE landscape going forward
Story Time
Q: Let's start with your background. How did you break into the industry and get to where you are today?
A: After graduating from college in the States, I worked in an American financial institution's (FI) consulting division, helping the firm cover multinational corporations (MNC) in Asia.
I then transferred to Hong Kong within the same firm, and I was responsible for building and maintaining relationships with MNC customers in China.
After 2 years at the FI, I broke into PE in India through my own connections. I wanted to leave consulting, but leverage my consulting experience and work on the investment side doing direct investments.
Back then it was easy to make the transition because the Indian market was booming, and there were very few people with the skills to analyze and invest in companies and who could fit into the Indian language and also interact with MNC and global investors.
After 3 years at the PE firm in India, I was recruited back by the CFO of the FI I worked for to lead their PE arm and make investments on their behalf.
I spent 6 years there and focused on buying banks and finance companies. After my stint there, I went back to the States to get my MBA to rebrand myself because I was always known as the "FI guy" in my circle.
After finishing the degree, I was recruited by the Board of another FI to lead their PE arm and grow their P&L.
After one year there, the FI was sold to another bank and I moved to an Australian family office and private equity firm to help them build their Asian arm, hire multiple teams across Asia Pacific, and launch new funds.
I then decided to go out on my own and launch my own fund.
Q: Great. So what do you do at your fund and how do you spend your time?
A: I'm the Founder, Partner, and Chief Investment Officer (CIO) of my fund. I'm involved in capital raising and deal origination most of the time.
I also represent the face of the firm so I attend many events to meet people and market the firm.
My firm is an open-ended fund, so I spend around 40% of my time on capital raising, another 40% of my time on deal origination, and the last 20% of my time on attending events.
In terms of time spent between interacting with clients and reviewing deals, I'd also say that 70% of my time is spent dealing with external and internal clients, ranging from investors (LPs) to co-investors (other GPs) to investees.
The other 30% of my time is spent on reviewing deals, documents, drafting and legal matters. I review deals and transactions from beginning to end.
Q: How are the funds you worked for structured? And what are the relevant roles there?
A: In most PE firms there are two main divisions: "Investments" and "Operations." Sometimes larger firms (over $10 billion USD AUM) have "Consulting" divisions as well.
The "Investments" division leads the investment process from origination to analysis to execution of deals; they usually focus on the deals and technical aspects and don't know as much qualitatively about the industries they invest in.
In the "Operations" team, "Subject Experts" are hired from various industries to make sure the management team of each portfolio company can operate effectively, improve profitability, and so on. They worry about budgeting, forecasting, and any operational issues post-acquisition.
These "Subject Experts" tend to be executives from the industry with long track records of experience. They rarely come from the finance industry unless your firm happens to be acquiring financial services firms.
If things turn sour and the portfolio company is not generating the expected returns, the "Consulting" team at larger PE firms will come in to see how they can turn the business around. Such firms might also hire third party consulting firms like McKinsey to achieve the above goal.
The smaller the fund, the fewer the resources you see devoted to "Consulting" and "Operations" – small funds tend to focus more on doing the deals and letting management teams run the businesses.
The hierarchy is pretty similar to what you see in investment banking: Managing Directors (MDs), Directors (Ds), Vice Presidents (VPs), Associates, and Analysts, sometimes with slight naming variations.
Breaking In… At All Levels
Q: So what do you look for when you hire someone? Let's start at the junior level (analysts and associates) first and go from there.
A: At the junior level, you need to demonstrate solid modeling skills, business acumen, strong work ethic, and ability to fit in with the firm.
The 3 most important qualities I look for in junior candidates are:
- Past Experience – Did they work for brand-name firms? Do they have 3-5 years of experience in investment banking, or at a PE firm? What deals did they work on, and did they find a way to earn more revenue or reduce expenses?
- Education – Yes, being from a top school always gives you an advantage… let's face it, it's difficult to get into the best universities and business schools unless you've worked hard over an extended period.
- Cultural Fit – It's both important and irrational. One of my big investors is Australian, so I always have an Australian on my team to make him happy; another firm I know of only hires grads from Yale and Harvard.
Sometimes if I can find really, really good analysts/associates, I might be inclined to hire them and pay them a premium, because even at higher rates they're still cheaper than VPs.
For Associate-level hires, candidates need to demonstrate that they can lead the due diligence process.
If I were to have an Investment Committee meeting tomorrow, would they know what to documents to prepare? Do they have strong project management skills?
I need someone who can hit the ground running when I hire him or her.
Q: Great… so what about mid-level and senior-level hires?
A: It depends on whether I'm looking for someone on the "Investments" side or the "Operations" side.
At the mid-level (VPs and Directors) on the "Investments" team, you need to demonstrate your ability to interface with clients, lead the due diligence process, and most importantly, lead and mentor others in the team.
The candidate should also be able to demonstrate his/her ability to do the first line of vetting – can the candidates vet the transaction before it gets reviewed by MDs and Partners to save them time?
I prefer someone with 7 to 10 years of experience in IB or/and PE for these types of roles.
On the other hand, if I'm hiring for the "Operations" team I would look for line managers, CFOs, and COOs of a business in the industry we're investing in. I would also prefer someone with 7 to 10 years (or even more in some cases) experience in such industries.
At the senior level (MDs and above), I want someone who can demonstrate his/her ability to raise capital, originate deals, interface with clients of all levels (LPs, investees, other GPs) and represent the face of the fund. I want someone with 10 to 20 years of experience in IB/PE.
All of this comes down to a very simple rule of thumb: if you want to get hired in PE, you need to generate revenue or cut expenses.
This is not like a Fortune 500 company where you can just blend in, pretend you're busy, and not do anything useful.
The more people we have, the lower the upside for the General Partners so I would rather not hire someone than hire the wrong person.
Q: It's interesting that you said "IB or PE" experience above, because most people seem to think it's impossible to move over if you're already at the top in banking.
What about the MBA? How useful is it for PE?
A: It's important if you want to reach the MD level or above since it gives you a solid network and more credibility, but don't bother unless you can get into one of the top 10 schools worldwide.
I actually got my MBA because I realized that all PE firms greatly value pedigree, even if they're smaller and not as well-known as the mega-funds.
If you want to work at a normal company or start your own business, an MBA is not as useful.
Q: Headhunters: Evil? Helpful? Useful?
A: I've had mixed experiences there.
They can be somewhat helpful in finding good candidates, but individual recruiters matter a lot more than the firm itself (i.e. don't assume the headhunter is good just because his/her firm has a good reputation).
Some headhunters are lazy and don't filter CVs before sending them, or don't verify candidates' information well enough.
One time a headhunter presented a bunch of candidates who had all worked on the same deal, and who had all claimed to have performed the exact same tasks in the same role.
So we don't rely on them 100% because of those types of problems.
Non-Ideal Experience?
Q: You've mentioned what you'd look for in the ideal candidate, but many readers aren't in that position (i.e. they don't have IB or PE experience, but they have worked for many years and now want to move into PE).
What should they do?
A: If you don't get IB or PE experience early on, your next best bet is to work at one of our portfolio companies or another company in the industry and get experience running a line of business, and then join the "Operations" side of a PE firm.
I would not recommend going to other areas in finance such as sales & trading or asset management because they're not relevant for PE and they might actually hurt your chances.
It's better to learn something about an industry or real business, get to know the GPs at the firm that owns it, and then get your foot in the door like that.
An MBA is another option, but it wouldn't be terribly helpful without transactional experience beforehand.
Q: What about fundraising? Can't people with strong sales skills help PE firms fund-raise?
A: I do the fundraising myself. It's challenging, if not impossible, for people without the relevant PE experience and seniority to do fund-raising.
Limited Partners want to sit down with the decision-makers of the fund and have direct access to them before investing – someone who does only fund-raising but isn't involved with the investment process wouldn't be that helpful to them.
Q: I see, so I guess you're not meeting with too many potential investors in those "PE fundraising" roles that get advertised.
What about starting out in the back office of a PE firm and moving to the front office through there?
A: Unlikely. Your only chance there is lots of networking and getting to know the GPs very well.
Just like banks, PE firms also have "the back office" (administration, compliance, legal, accounting, HR, etc.) but more of the functions there are outsourced to 3rd parties and there's less overhead than at banks.
So not only are there fewer roles, but there's also less of a chance to interact with the investment staff.
Q: What about something like TAS (Transaction Advisory Services) at a Big 4 firm?
A: We rarely hire people from these teams, because someone with IB/PE experience could do the same thing and if we really have a need for the skill set, we would just pay the Big 4 firm for their services.
You would want to move to the internal M&A team at a Big 4 firm if you're in this position, because it's easier to break in if you've worked on deals from start to finish.
Resumes, Interviews, and More: Got Deal Experience?
Q: Well, I guess that's somewhat good news – at least you have more hope than someone in the back office!
Moving on, what about resumes? What matters specifically with deal experience, and what should candidates highlight on their resumes?
A: Everyone, especially at the junior-levels, likes to claim credit for things that they most likely didn't accomplish – and I can easily see through that.
Sometimes listing too many deals on your resume can actually work against you because it makes me skeptical of your level of involvement with each one.
The most important point is to detail your specific role on the deal and also point out anything unique you did.
Did you find something in due diligence that led to your firm not doing the deal? Did you come up with a better capital structure that allowed the deal to progress?
In an ideal case, you can point to how you moved the deal forward, helped win a higher/lower price, or uncovered a red flag during due diligence.
If you don't have anything like that, at least have a strong opinion on each deal you did: was it good or bad for both parties? Neutral? Something else?
Banking is all about process, but investing is more about thinking for yourself and making decisions on whether or not a deal is good or bad.
Q: Right. We already have quite a few articles and templates for PE resumes, so anyone reading should refer to those for some good examples… but that point you mentioned about having an opinion is very important, since you gloss over that many times on the sell-side.
What about the interview process itself? How does that work at your firm?
A: It takes me 4 months to hire someone given my team members' travel schedules. After a candidate gets shortlisted from the first round, we want him/her to have at least another 4 interviews.
Depending on the level of the hire, the interviewers will be different. If I were hiring for an analyst, I'd have the associate interview him/her. If I were looking for a VP, I'd have a Director interview him/her.
For analysts and associates, I'd also ask them to send me previous models they built and teasers they drafted (with sensitive / confidential information removed, of course). I want to know if they know what to bring in to an investor committee meeting.
For senior-level hires, I would also ask them for their "Rodolex" of investors and their track record.
Q: I'm surprised people feel comfortable sending over models they've worked on, but I guess they are up against tough competition.
What types of interview questions are most common?
A: Most PE interview questions fall into 5 broad categories:
- Fit / Background – Tell me about yourself, what are your end goals, how long will you be here, what motivates you, what are your strengths/weaknesses, and so on.
- Market / Industry – What market do you find interesting? What industry should we invest in next and why? What's something that everyone else likes but you don't?
- Technical – Similar to investment banking technical questions, but more of a focus on leveraged buyouts and calculating returns.
- Deals and Clients – Walk me through a transaction you worked on, tell me about something you did that created value, tell me your specific role in the deal. Also, what would you do if an investment turned sour? If a past deal went bad, how would you fix it?
- Case Studies and Modeling Tests – The main mistake candidates make here is focusing too much on technical details and not enough on their reasoning. Make sure you can tell the "story" around your case study first, and use your model to support your decision second.
Q: Great, thanks for those examples. It sounds similar to investment banking interviews and what we've already covered on private equity interviews, but the focus is on thinking like an investor.
What makes a candidate STAND OUT in terms of his/her story, interview & pitch? You must see tons of candidates from top schools and banks, so how do set yourself apart?
A: What was your value add? What did you differently? I want someone who could see opportunities that no one else could see, and who could then capitalize on those opportunities and generate revenue for the firm.
At the junior level, I want to know candidates' thinking process. I want candidates who can save me money, have the ability to find value, and who can lead the DD process.
At the mid level, candidates should be able to demonstrate their ability to interface with clients and originate deals.
At the senior level, I prefer candidates who have a track record of originating deals, raising capital and making sound investment decisions. I also want to know his/her yield and ROI.
As you said, there are tons of people from top schools and banks who want to get into PE, but only the ones who can immediately add value and start generating revenue for us get in. That's the only way to set yourself apart – a track record of results.
Going Forward: Private Iniquity?
Q: Going back to that quote from the MBA admissions consultant in the beginning, lots of people still think that PE is the "promised land."
What do you think about its future prospects? Is everything shifting to Asia?
A: There is definitely a shift to Asia, and you'll see more deal activity here versus the European region. With that said, China and India are not going to grow at 8-10% forever, and high inflation there is also a concern.
Valuations in China are high and the IPO markets are lackluster, so I wouldn't say opportunities are stellar.
In India, few shareholders want to sell their companies, and many only sell 5%-15% of their stake, which is very little (somewhere around $50 million USD) for a PE firm.
Europe is going through a tough time, though I can see opportunities in large ticket deals (i.e. buying distressed firms on the cheap) and heavily leveraging them.
Q: Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Lots of people still think that there's too much money chasing too few deals – do you think PE firms will change in the future to survive and innovate? Will fundraising change in any way?
A: Going forward, I believe PE firms will have to innovate by giving investors more liquidity after they invest.
Instead of locking up investors' money for 7 years, GPs can shorten the lock-up period to three years and give investors the option to extend their investment period.
It is challenging to raise capital from LPs in this environment and you can see PE firms seeking alternative sources of capital raising. Even mega-funds such as Blackstone are seeking more liquidity in the capital markets.
Q: Great. Thanks for your insights and time! Long interview!
A: Anytime, enjoyed the chat!

KIDS TODAY RIGHT? WHEN CHRIS O'Donnell was 17, his mother, Julie, had to bribe him with the promise of a new car to get him to try out for his first movie role, the part of Jessica Lange's rebellious teenage son in 1990's Men Don't Leave. O'Donnell had shown some interest in acting and had some successful commercials to his credit, but he was deeply immersed in his real-life role as coxswain on the varsity crew at his suburban Chicago prep school, Loyola Academy. Besides, says O'Donnell, now 22 and a Boston College senior majoring in marketing, "the audition was such a long shot." He went to L.A. anyway, though, and wound up getting the part. "I'm still waiting for that car," he told his mom on a recent visit home to Winnetka, Ill. Julie, a real estate broker, laughed off the reminder. The way things have worked out, she says, "Chris is going to buy me one."
He can certainly afford to. Three films later—Fried Green Tomatoes; School Ties and the critically acclaimed hit Scent of a Woman—O'Donnell is in the driver's seat of a shiny new career. In Scent, he costars with Al Pacino. who plays Frank Slade, a blind, blustery ex-Army officer living with his married niece. O'Donnell is Charlie Simms, a sweet-natured scholarship student at a New Hampshire prep school whom she hires to care for her uncle while her family takes a Thanksgiving weekend trip. But almost as fast as Slade can bellow a triumphant "Hoo-ah!," he whisks Charlie off for an alternately hilarious and harrowing Manhattan adventure.
The film's director, Martin Brest, was worried about the relationship between the two characters. "Frank is outlandishly aggressive, and Charlie is self-effacing," says Brest. "I had a feeling we had created this fatal imbalance." But O'Donnell, he says, "has a quiet strength, and he made it look believable that Charlie could win over this raging tyrant."
He had some help. During one tense confrontation scene, when O'Donnell was being shot in close-up, Pacino stood off-camera and shouted invectives to help the young actor get the proper stricken look. "It worked great," says O'Donnell. Pacino, who invited his costar to one of the weekly poker games at his Manhattan apartment, says he and O'Donnell bonded immediately. "I just felt happy to be around him."
That comes as no surprise to O'Donnell's family. Growing up the youngest of seven children in the six-bedroom brick house where his mother and his father, Bill, a radio-station owner, still live, Chris was the charismatic kid. His mother called him "precious love," says sister Angela, 23. "When he spoke, we all listened. If Mom was serving eggs for breakfast and he wanted pancakes, we'd have pancakes."
The family was startled, however, when Chris, at age 13, announced that he was tired of mowing lawns for chump change. A classmate of his was making $60 an hour as an actor in TV commercials and, he remembers, "I thought that would be so cool." His oldest sister. Sally, 31-had met a talent agent, Maureen Brookman, at a wedding, and she was able to schedule an audition for her baby brother. Soon O'Donnell was (lashing a grin at Michael Jordan in a McDonald's commercial.
Though he has never taken acting lessons. O'Donnell Has had a smooth ride to the top. In Fried Green Tomatoes he was the cocky Southern boy killed in a freak train accident: in School Ties he was the WASPish roommate of a Jewish prep school student. Even his rejections have been impressive. Barbra Streisand phoned him at his off-campus flat to apologize for having to uncast him from a role she had already promised him—as her son in The Prince of Tides. Her real-life son, Jason Gould, would be playing the part. "Your mother will understand," she told O'Donnell, who got paid anyway.
His father, meanwhile, says, "We'd like him to get his degree" before doing am more films. Chris, in his final semester at BC, has been looking forward to graduating this spring with the rest of his class. But last month he got an offer from Disney to costar (with Charlie Sheen and Kiefer Sutherland) as D' Artagnan in a remake of The Three Musketeers, and he says, "I'm definitely leaning toward it." The lure of Hollywood may prove irresistible. Recalling some advice he received from Pacino—"Never date an actress"—Chris just laughs. "Nah. I love L.A.," he says. "The girls out there are the cream of the crop." As Frank Slade would say: Hoo-ah!

Senators call for scrutiny of charter schools
HARRISBURG -- Some lawmakers on Monday called for stronger state regulation of Pennsylvania's charter and cyber-charter schools, while others derided Gov. Tom Corbett's plan to finance new school grants by privatizing liquor and wine sales as a political gimmick.
Senators took turns quizzing state Education Secretary Ronald Tomalis on wide-ranging topics at an Appropriations Committee hearing that focused mostly on his department's programs and its $11.3 billion budget request for the fiscal year that starts July 1.
Sen. Mike Folmer, R-Lebanon, chairman of the Senate Education Committee, said the Republican governor did not renew his call for charter reforms in his 2012-13 state budget plan, and he asked Tomalis whether that is still an administration priority.
The administration tried in 2012 to push reforms that, among other things, would have placed the public -- but privately run -- charter schools under an appointed state board instead of locally elected school boards. It failed to win majority support in the Legislature.
"I think that conversation needs to continue," Tomalis said.
Sen. Andrew Dinniman, D-Chester, said the graduation rate for cyber charters is 60 percent, compared with more than 80 percent in public schools, and he asked what corrective action the administration has taken.
Tomalis said only about 100,000 of the 1.7 million youngsters attending public schools are enrolled in charter or cyber-charter schools. He said students who transfer from public schools to cyber schools are often already struggling academically.
Tomalis said he denied eight applications for new cyber-charter schools earlier this year "because they weren't of the quality that we expect of our cyber schools." He said department officials are trying to build more accountability into the application process.
Currently, 175 charter schools are operating in Pennsylvania, according to the department. They include 159 brick-and-mortar schools and 16 Internet-based cyber-charter schools.
Democrats on the committee slammed Corbett's plan to finance a $1 billion, four-year school grant program with license fees generated by his proposal to end the state's monopoly over liquor and wine sales and to expand the already privatized sale of beer.
Sen. Vincent Hughes, the ranking Democrat on Appropriations, said it's ironic that the bill would allow expanded alcohol sales in some of the same inner-city areas where officials are weighing whether to close schools.

BRIDGEWATER — On Friday, June 3, Arbor Glen and Just Jersey Seniors are inviting local seniors and their family members to join an all-day Expo that includes exhibitors such as financial experts, home organizers, medical and non-medical homecare specialists, plus much more.
During the event, attendees will be able to gather information on an array of topics while under one roof. Whether they are looking for additional insight on long-term care insurance, how to create a budget, or ways to prepare for a stress-free move — there will be something for everyone.
"We created this Expo in order to share our network of trusted resources with others, "said Camille Miller, founder of Just Jersey Seniors. Professionals like Everyday Helper Solutions, an Errand Service, will review how they can complete your to-do-list to help make life easier.
"It is very impressive to see how many local businesses and professionals customize their products and services toward seniors and their family members," said Elaine Auerbach, director of development and community outreach at Arbor Glen. This complimentary event will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Arbor Glen Community Education Center in Bridgewater.

Arbor Glen is a Friends Organization with strong roots in the long Quaker history of acting out of religious concerns in the wider world. In New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland more than 20 programs for the aging have been developed by Quakers beginning early in the 19th Century. Friends have been known for being an integral part of social change with active involvement in civil rights movements, prison reform and in women's rights. All people being equal, deserving respect and independence is the philosophy behind Arbor Glen's core values and their commitment to building caring communities.

Moya ties SeaWolves record for homers in win
READING -- Steven Moya tied the franchise single-season record for home runs Sunday as the Erie SeaWolves defeated the Reading Fightin Phils 5-3 in front of 8,611 fans at FirstEnergy Stadium.
Moya clubbed a two-run homer in the sixth inning to give Erie (65-68) a 4-1 lead. He is tied with Kurt Airoso for the most home runs in SeaWolves history with 34. He also drove in a run in the seventh inning with a sacrifice fly, giving him 101 for this season. Moya is second in runs batted in and trails only Eric Munson, who had 102 in 2001. Moya also broke the franchise record for total bases with 270.
Jeff Ferrell earned his ninth win after allowing three runs in 52/3 innings. Ferrell will get one more start to try and become Erie's first 10-game winner since James Avery in 2012.
Joe Mantiply and Chad Smith were effective in relief before Jose Valdez recorded his 16th save of the season.
Dixon Machado continued his recent strong play by going 4-for-4 with his fifth home run of the season, while Dean Green had an RBI double in the sixth inning for Erie.
The SeaWolves salvaged the final game of the series but missed an opportunity with Akron being swept by Binghamton. Erie is 61/2 games behind the RubberDucks with nine games left. The SeaWolves open a five-game series against Bowie today at Jerry Uht Park.
, while Akron hosts Trenton in a four-game series before the RubberDucks host Erie for the final four games of the year.

Today I will begin the second coat on the doors. Tonight my oldest is off to a sleepover so my youngest (who is not allowed to have sleepovers yet) is going to have a "stay late" with his friend. What this means is we are going out to dinner with his friend and mom then back here where the boys will get in pajamas and watch a movie, pretty much do everything you do at a sleepover except sleep. The bonus is my son's friend's mom and I are good friends so while…Continue

I headed out for a run yesterday. It wasn't going to be a long run maybe 5 or 6 miles but it turned into 9. A song came on Pandora while I was running that made me a little sad and I just needed a little extra run time to clear my mind and put some things in perspective.

This week has gone by quite fast and I can't believe it is Thursday already.
Today I wanted to talk a little bit about my next run, I don't want to call it race because this event is not about the running. To be honest this is my most important run of the year. It is not a long distance and I have no personal running goals for myself. My only goal is to be a part of this amazing cause and raise money to support them.

My mother and I both got stevia poisoning after a good year. We were consuming so much each day that it just became toxic in our bodies.
I looked long and hard online to find one little article about other people experiencing the same thing.
We just kind of always assumed that since it was "healthy", it was ok to have as much as we wanted. Too much of a good thing = not good .
So trust your gut (haha...no pun intended). You know that it's the stevia that you're reacting to. Just because everyone else in the USA thinks it's the second coming doesn't mean you're not reacting to it! (And to Stevia lovers - I'm not knocking it. It's great in moderation).
I started using xylitol, which is infamous for the same symptoms: bloating, stomach issues, diarrhea even. But many people get used to xylitol with continued use. When I first started using it, I bloated a bit, but I don't experience any side affects from it anymore!
So if you want to take the risk (if you're not allergic), try to continue the stevia for a few days and see if it gets better. If not, there are other substitutes out there - lo han guo, xylitol, eyrithol (sp? I'm too lazy to look that up haha).

News from Upstate
Doretta Royer 315 464-4833
Physician honored for 50 years of service to Upstate
SYRACUSE, N.Y.— As a medical student at Upstate Medical University nearly 60 years ago, Eugene Kaplan, MD, remembers holding an umbrella over a patient—who was being operated on at the University Hospital of the Good Shepherd—to protect the patient from plaster falling from the ceiling. "Imagine my surprise when I discovered that I wasn't needed to assist with the operation, but, in fact, needed for this other purpose," laughs Kaplan.
Kaplan is among more than 1,200 individuals to be honored at Upstate's 28th annual Employee Recognition Day June 7. While he is being recognized for 50 years of service as a member of faculty, his connection to Upstate dates back to his days as a student in the university's medical school and as a resident in Upstate's Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences.
He says that throughout his years at the university, he has witnessed tremendous change and growth, not only in the university's physical plant, but in other ways, as well.
"I have seen an amazing increase in the size and complexity of the institution and in its growth in terms of new programs, new staff, and the many options available for treating and teaching," says Kaplan, who is professor and Chair Emeritus of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences.
He has also witnessed changes in the practice of medicine. "The profession has greatly changed over the years," says Kaplan, "with increasingly complex treatment possibilities. In my own specialty of psychiatry, we have seen the development of new and more effective forms of psychotherapy and new and more effective medications. Medicine is a noble profession, and I am pleased and proud to have been a part of it for more than a half of a century."
Employee Recognition Day will be held Thursday, June 7 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Nicholas J. Pirro Convention Center at Oncenter Complex, 800 S. State St., Syracuse. The event recognizes Upstate employees for achieving their five-year incremental milestone of service as of June 30, 2012. This is the first year that employees from Upstate's Community campus will participate and be honored for their years of service, including time worked at Community General Hospital.

More Texas Children Living in High-Poverty Areas
A report from the Annie E. Casey Foundation shows that the number of Texas children living in areas of high poverty has increased 43 percent over the last 10 years. That means more than 1.1 million children live in neighborhoods where at least 30 percent of the families are at or below the poverty line.
"This really does look at the environment in which the child and the family live," said Laura Speer, an associate director at the foundation. Speer said that even children from middle-class families are affected by ...

If you're the parent of an infant or toddler, you may not have encountered Picky Eating...yet. But a conversation with parents of an older child, visit to your daycare center at lunchtime, or evening out with your pre-school-age nephew may give you a glimpse of what's to come. And it's not always pretty!
Virtually every young child goes through some level of Picky Eating at one time or another. Parents who have the kids who turn out to be "good eaters" will tell you that the key to successfully navigating these stages is to put firm and healthful eating habits in place from the beginning, and then stick to them, even when the going gets rough.
So if you want to raise children who know the difference between chicken nuggets and Chicken Cordon Bleu -- and kids who don't put up a fight every time every time a new dish or a vegetable is set before them -- start thinking now, in the early eating days, about your food and dining choices. It's not too early to put these eight quick tips in place.
Adventurous Eating Tips
Sit down! Now is the time to teach that meals play an important role in our day. Make breakfast-lunch-dinner definite sit down-to-eat occasions, even if it's just for 10 or 15 minutes at a time.
Doesn't this look good? Talk it up! Comment on the yummy smells from the oven, or the how pretty and juicy the steak looks. Little kids "eat with their eyes" just like adults do.
It's a dinner, not a diner! And that means, no short order cooking! From earliest eating days, children can and should eat what everyone else at the table is eating.
Focus on the whole meal. If you're serving chicken, peas and rice for dinner, then your toddler should have chicken, peas and rice on her plate, too. What if she scarfs down the rice and wants more? Not until she has a bite or two of the rest of the items in the meal.
Spice it up! Don't be afraid to let your toddler sample spicier dishes, like those found in Indian or Mexican cuisines. If it's really too hot, stir a little milk or sour cream into his portion, so that he still gets the flavor of the dish, without the full effect of the heat.
Repeat, repeat, repeat. If at first your toddler doesn't like spinach or Brussels sprouts or broccoli, try, try again. Researchers have found that up to 15 separate introductions of a food may required before it will be accepted by some children. Wait several days or weeks, but don't drop the offending item out of the menu entirely.
Pour out the juice. Kiddie beverages all have one thing in common: they are sweet, sweet, sweet to the taste. Don't start your little one off believing that drinks have to be sweet to taste good. Stick to plain milk and water.
And Nix the other kiddie products. Children's menus in restaurants, children's cereals and snack foods, packaged toddler meals: If it's a food product made for and marketed to kids, chances are, it's going to be inferior in taste and flavor to comparable adult products. Avoid these, and you will be way ahead in the game of preventing picky eating.

Ratings for Dr. Julian C. Leichter
This is a truly professional office. The staff has been there for years and are wonderful with patients. My hygienist, Susan, is the best there is in every way: technical expertise, gentle technique, concern for patients' wellbeing, and overall bedside manner.
Dr. Leichter is the best. He is very conservative in his treatment, and doesn't make you do 100s of 1000s of dollars worth of treatment all at the same time. He is very conscious of the cost of dental treatment and keeps that in mind when recommending the best course of dental treatment for his patients. His manner is kind, understanding, funny and very friendly. His staff is amazing too and very helpful. Getting an appointment with him is quick. Try Dr. Leichter, you won't regret it.
The best! Most skillful dentist and most knowledgable I have seen. Great bedside manner.
Very knowledgeable, friendly, caring with follow up calls. Referred by a poor DDS that I will not return to.P.F.
