Venture Capital Hits a Cash-Call Crunch
Investors May Not Meet Commitments; WaMu, the 'Defaulting Limited Partner'
Cash-strapped investors are starting to renege on their commitments to venture-capital funds, dealing a blow to an industry that has been the bedrock of Silicon Valley start-ups.
From pension funds to rich individuals to once-deep-pocketed financial institutions now in desperate shape, this year's plunging markets have made it much harder for some investors to come up with the money they promised to invest in venture-capital funds.
Such funds invest in private companies over a 10-year time horizon, aiming to profit when the start-ups go public or are sold to other companies. The funds typically collect on investor commitments through periodic "capital calls."
In October, Washington Mutual Inc. WM -0.37 % skipped a $700,000 capital call from a fund called Financial Technology Ventures Fund III and was listed as a "defaulting limited partner," according to a court filing by the Seattle company last month.
The default came shortly after WaMu filed for bankruptcy protection. In September, federal regulators seized WaMu's banking operations and sold them to J.P. Morgan Chase JPM 0.34 % & Co. Defaulting triggered onerous terms, with the $700,000 now accruing 18% interest.
WaMu faced a deadline of last Saturday to pay up or else forfeit 25% of the capital it previously contributed to the venture-capital fund, run by FTVentures, which has offices in San Francisco and New York. WaMu will lose half that amount if it is still in default in early February. WaMu already had contributed $3.3 million of the $10 million it promised to invest in the fund, according to the bankruptcy-court filing.
In late September, WaMu missed a $30,000 capital call to another fund, Arch Venture Fund V. The company now is trying to sell its venture-fund stakes to other investors. A WaMu spokesman declined to comment, and the outcome of Saturday's deadline isn't clear.
A spokeswoman for Arch Venture Partners, C -0.02 % which manages the Arch fund, wouldn't comment. FTVentures didn't return calls seeking comment.
"Lawyers have said everyone should expect at least one default [from investors] in the next year," says Bryan Roberts, a managing general partner at Venrock, a Palo Alto, Calif., venture-capital firm.
Venture-capital funds also suffered defaults during the tech-stock bust earlier this decade. The problem is more severe now because the variety of investors drawn to the riches that can result from stakes in fledgling companies has widened substantially in recent years. Many such investors are reeling as the market swoons.
For example, the largest U.S. public pension fund, the $179.2 billion California Public Employees' Retirement System, or Calpers, has asked private-equity firms to ease off on requests for additional capital it had previously committed to deliver.
Investor defaults can be harsh. Venture-capital-backed start-up companies require cash infusions over time, often from two years to 10 years or longer. Defaults can cause venture capitalists to run out of money to keep start-ups alive.
Some venture capitalists are concerned that the fallout from defaults will be more prolonged this time because there are so few deep pockets around. During the tech bust, Storm Ventures, a venture-capital firm in Menlo Park, Calif., was able to sell the stakes of individual investors who couldn't meet their commitments to institutions, which still had plenty of cash on hand.
Now, though, "there is distress" spread widely among all types of investors, says Sanjay Subhedar, a Storm managing director. While the firm hasn't had any defaults so far, its latest $220 million fund, called Storm Ventures III, will have "to be very careful" about when it issues capital calls to investors, he says.
"In all likelihood, a number of institutional investors will not honor capital calls," predicts Cynthia Steer, a consultant at Rogerscasey. While doing so could break legal agreements, there are few precedents for venture-capital and private-equity funds suing their investors, since they need to maintain long-term relationships with the investment community.
Hans Swildens, a partner at investment firm Industry Ventures, says he recently bought into some venture funds through family-run investment offices and individuals who were unable to make their capital contributions. Since October, Mr. Swildens has invested $30 million in seven transactions to buy out cash-strapped individuals from their venture-fund stakes.
"More defaults are coming," he says.
Battery Ventures is getting calls from a few investors about when the Waltham, Mass., venture-capital firm plans to collect on capital commitments for its $750 million BV VIII fund, says Tom Crotty, a general partner. That is a sign that some investors are watching their cash exposure carefully.
All of the fund's investors met a payment requirement in October, but Battery is communicating with investors more frequently.
A wave of defaults might not be all bad, some experts say, since good times caused the number of venture-capital funds to swell beyond what some in the venture-capital industry thought was healthy. "It's probably long overdue for our industry," Mr. Crotty says.

Kirkuk Demographics
- The Kurds Are at Demographic War With ISIS in Kirkuk
- Kirkuk, IRAQ — Kirkuk's skyline is dotted with colorful swatches of flags, each one marking the territory of one group or another.
- As Arab Births in Hawija Change Kirkuk Demography, Kurds Stand to Lose Out
- Energy-rich Kirkuk is awaiting a territorial resolution between Erbil and Baghdad to determine whether a referendum -- at a yet undetermined date -- will attach it to the autonomous Kurdistan Region or to the Shiite Arab central government in Baghdad.
- Kirkuk enjoys fragile peace after ISIS onslaught
- Since Peshmerga forces secured Kirkuk last year from the extremists, the Kurds have laid claim to the city they have fought over for decades. But the city's diverse demographics and ancient history make things in Kirkuk more complicated.
- Kirkuk ethnic tensions scupper Iraq census
- "The Arabs are coming from the south and the middle of Iraq, they are coming to Kirkuk. [These are] displaced people who want to be integrated in Kirkuk. This is another type of Arabisation.
- The tragedy of Iraq's Sunnis
- Displaced Sunni Arabs don't generally seek shelter in majority Shia southern Iraq; rather they head for the capital Baghdad, the northern semi-autonomous Kurdistan region and the disputed province of Kirkuk.

Banyan Tree Divers is an independent scuba diving company located on the stunning Hawaiian island of Maui. Our mobile dive shop offers shore diving 7 days a week, focusing on dive sites along the beaches of Lahaina and Ka'anapali. We introduce our guests to colorful, diverse and active dive locations, where you will find an array of fish species, fields of fringing corals, and often encounter Hawaiian green turtles
Banyan Tree Divers has an experienced, multi-lingual dive team. As instructors and guides we have shared a love for the marine environment with thousands of different experienced and beginner divers, most notably in Hawaii, Thailand, Egypt, and the Caribbean. Collectively, our scuba team shares 16 years of professional teaching experience and we look forward to many more years to come.
It is little known that the best Maui dives sites are shore dives. By avoiding the crowds and instead focusing on small group sizes, Banyan Tree Divers will make your Maui scuba diving experience unforgettable. Diving with Banyan Tree Divers you will feel confident and safe as a scuba diver, experiencing excellent customer service. We understand that your time is limited, so our dive shop offers small groups and flexible scheduling to maneuver around your vacation itinerary. Whether you are very experienced, a little bit experienced or have never tried scuba diving before, let Banyan Tree Divers be your host!
Banyan Tree Divers launched in 2013 with three goals to impact the Maui scuba diving community:
1. Provide our scuba guests with a safe and unforgettable scuba experience
For most scuba divers, the opportunity to breathe underwater is forever life changing. Our dive team wants to share this exhilarating experience with you so that every visit to Maui includes scuba diving with Banyan Tree Divers! In every dive community, especially a small scuba destination like Maui, the key is excellence in customer service. By exhibiting exceptional attention to detail, Banyan Tree Divers helps to create vivid memories for our guests both underwater and above the water. Enjoy a worry-free experience with our small groups and flexible scheduling options.
2. Grow a Banyan Tree Divers scuba family
We want our guests to feel at home when scuba diving Lahaina and Ka'anapali with Banyan Tree Divers. Hawaiian culture has a deep-rooted respect for family, or ohana. Our scuba guests will enjoy that same feeling of aloha knowing that our team at Banyan Tree Divers is taking the time to make you feel welcome and safe. Banyan Tree Divers is growing a scuba ohana by providing our guests with the reliability of always having a go-to dive center on Maui.
3. Create awareness for reef and fish conservation
Banyan Tree Divers' best opportunity to preserve Maui's endemic marine environment is to educate our guests about reef and fish conservation. Scuba diving gives sight-seeing on Maui a new meaning! Yes, through underwater exploration we naturally become ambassadors of the underwater world. Beneath the ocean surface, divers are provided the unique opportunity to experience coral reef communities and observe a variety of marine life. We are fortunate and lucky to be able to explore this delicate part of the Earth, which covers less than 1 percent of the sea floor. Indeed, a wild statistic! As ambassadors, it also means that divers are confronted with the continual degradation of our ocean's fragile coral reef system, including vast losses over the past 20-plus years. We are also witnessing the near extinction of all shark species, a more than 100,000,000 sharks are fished out each year. The ocean is nearly empty of it's most important fish. Our company has a saying, Fish are friends, Sharks are fish, Jaws is not real. Banyan Tree Divers wants to create awareness for coral reef and fish conservation, combined with fostering safe and responsible diving habits to protect our incredibly finite ocean resources.
My first trip to Maui was exhilarating but only because of Caitlin & Kevin from Banyan Tree Divers. My daughter and I did 4 shore dives and one night dive; our favorite was Mala Pier!!! We discovered the beauty of Maui and we are in love with the green sea turtles. Caitlin & Kevin are advocates of conservation for the life of the deep blue. In all my diving I have never had any Instructor or Divemaster give such positive feedback to help me grow in this sport: basic tips helped us enjoy and get the best out of our diving experience. We were amazed at the beautiful images Kevin so effortlessly took from the entry into the water to back on land; the next day we found 100 plus photos ready to download and show our dream vacation to. Swimming with the turtles in Maui will always be the "best" but it could of only happened with Banyan Tree Divers".
We just completed our 2nd year diving with Caitlin & Kev and the Banyan Tree Divers gang. This year we did 11 dives at a number of different beaches along the West Maui coast. Caitlin & Kev continue to provide a safe, educational environment for my daughter (14) and I to enjoy the underwater beauty Maui offers. We decided to complete our Advanced Diver certifications this year. Again, Caitlin & Kev are excellent teachers re-enforcing safe diving mechanics, appreciation for the environment, and having a great time. They were able to work around our schedule to create a very interesting and varied dive schedule during the 2 weeks we were here. We leave the island with a computer full of amazing pictures provided by Caitlin & Kev, our Advanced Diver cert, and a renewed appreciation for the sport of scuba and the beautiful environment Maui provides under water!!! I have tried a number of dive shops on Kauai and Maui, and Banyan Tree Divers provides a type of service and experience you really don't find anywhere else. I cannot recommend anyone more positively than Banyan Tree Divers. Wish there was a 6th star above!!!"

I think you should carry a slipper around with you in your backpack and when you see another woman you're interested in, just pull it out and ask her if she'd mind trying on this slipper.
Then, make up this story that explains the request. Of course, it plays to her Cinderella fantasy...
"3 months ago I was kind of drunk at a frat party, but dig this chick who was amazing. She left this slipper and I've been carrying it around trying to find her again."
Told right, Hellfish, she'll be crying and diving right on top of you right there. Make sure you don't dent your e46!
Mark's advice is great if your goal is to play with girls and be the Ken doll, but I have to say that women aren't games.
I think you should be yourself, and then the woman who appreciates you will be appreciating you...not the things around her. Of course, with my approach, I guess there'd be much less sex, but longer-term, greater reward.
(Sorry, OP, I'm really old...that's why I sound like this!)
I'm so depressed. No one wants to come see me in NYC: Sat, Oct. 8, 6 p.m. at Greenwich Village Comedy Club.

Kihei man 'deserves' 20-year term — judge
WAILUKU – Calling a defendant an "egotistical manipulator," a judge Friday ordered a 20-year prison term for a Kihei man convicted of repeatedly sexually molesting a girl during a five-year period.
"And you deserve every minute of those 20 years," 2nd Circuit Judge Richard Bissen told Eddie Garcia, 38.
He had pleaded no contest to continuous sexual assault of a child under age 14 from February 2005 to February 2010, as well as abuse of the child on Aug. 19, 2010.
Bissen had agreed to be bound by terms of a plea agreement in sentencing Garcia.
Prosecuting Attorney John D. Kim said Garcia began "sexualizing" the victim, a family member, when she was 10 years old. When she turned 12, he began having sexual intercourse with her weekly, with the frequency increasing to four to five times a week as the girl got older, Kim said.
"He has basically manipulated his whole family into believing he's a good father and a provider," Kim said.
He said Garcia has a 1998 conviction for third-degree promotion of a dangerous drug.
"He's a methamphetamine addict," Kim said. "I think he's just living in his own world and doesn't believe he's done anything wrong.
"The only thing he was sorry for was getting caught in this matter."
Before his sentencing, Garcia had unsuccessfully tried to withdraw his no-contest pleas in the case.
His attorney, Chris Dunn, said that Garcia planned to appeal the court decision to not allow him to withdraw his pleas.
The allegations to which Garcia pleaded no contest "are certainly horrendous," Dunn said.
"However, the pride and support of his family stand in stark contrast to those allegations," Dunn said.
Bissen said Garcia was "the most self-centered, egotistical manipulator that I have ever encountered in the last 26 years in the court system."
"And this extends from his manipulation, clearly, of the victim, his wife, his family," Bissen said.
He said Garcia's attempts to manipulate the court system were well documented.
Garcia "gave a full confession to the police of the horrible crimes he committed on the victim," Bissen said.
"The worst crime was to convince her that she is the reason you are sitting there today and that she's the reason you are going to prison for 20 years," the judge told Garcia. "Let it be clear, you are the reason you are going to prison today. You are the reason you can no longer provide financially for your family.
"Your family has clearly forgiven you. But forgiveness does not equal absence of guilt."

Italy may have better food than us, and their Capital may be ten times more romantic. But are the Italian WAGs a match for our England lot?
Bear in mind that Italian newspaper La Gazzetta Dello Sport have already called the British WAGs 'mingers' writing, '[Italian WAGs are] more beautiful and more famous – just looking at them you can see we win'.
Looks like all that Parmigiano-Reggiano has gotten to their heads! Well with only a few hours until the game begins why don't we have a quick look to see who has the hottest WAGs.
Raffaella Fico
There's no way we were going to write a post about Italian WAGs and not include Ballotelli's girlfriend.
The 24-year-old may look like your average model, but she's just as controversial as her bad boy boyfriend. In 2008 Fico tried to auction off her virginity for €1 million.
The Italian model was planning to use the money to buy a house and take acting lessons. But now that she's with a rich footballer, she no longer has to prostitute herself and spends her spare time crying into her pillow because her boyfriend has been spotted with a real prostitute.
Cristina De Pin
Cristina De Pin likes to get her kit off… like really likes to. It took us about 30 minutes to find a pic of her that WASN'T showing any nipple, but that does score her big brownie points in the WAG charts.
The girlfriend of Riccardo Montolivo is a Playboy playmate, which automatically cancels out any of her other achievements in life. Cristina claims that she used her 'intelligence and culture' to win Riccardo. But we reckon her tens of hundreds of naked photos also had something to do with it.
Alena Buffon
Alena Buffon may have a tan that Tango would consider a threat, but we're pretty sure it's natural because Italian ladies don't need to tan right? Wrong!
The girlfriend of Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon was actually born in the Czech Republic but did a runner when she realised she couldn't get that skin colour naturally by sitting on Prague's Charles Bridge.
Alena is a MILF of two, owns her own fashion line and was crowned Miss Czech Republic in 1998, which is probably as important as Foxy Bingo's Celebrity Mum of the Year competition.
We know you wanted to see more Italian T&A guys, but we'd rather not embarrass our country any more than we already have. Now let's order four boxes of pizza, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on it, down some bottles of Peroni or Prosecco and cheer on England!

Mushy is not so bad and the alternatives have less appeal.
They look like a couple of old Queenslanders.
Come, Mister tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and me wan' go home
And we'll never split…
Ooh……. time to lay low for a while…….. is Goodna still providing sanctuary?
Yes there is still a facility at Goodna which has been redesignated and renamed several times. It's currently known as The Park Centre for Mental Health, Treatment, Research and Education.
As far as sanctuary goes, it may be easier to get into than get out of.
We've been bending bananas up here in The Sunshine State for so long that there are no straight ones left.
Time for some banana nut muffins.
John Mellencamp had a quote for that.
"Hey darling, I can remember when you could stop a clock"
I can picture a Valentine card with this image!
I'd like to peel you and have a taste.
We reach an age when buying green bananas is not a wise investment.
I remember when my cousin and I were sitting on the back steps of the house in Beachmere…… we ate so many bananas (home grown) that I've never been able to eat one since.
Yes, back in the 50's and 60's we had bananas growing in the backyard as many homes in Brisbane did. Dad would cut the bunches off and hang them up under the house to ripen. Mum hated them because the juice stained clothes permanently and we finally got rid of them sometime in the 70s. Good times and nice memories.
Mrs Superfrog really likes bananas and eats one everyday.
We're all watching day 5 of the Third Test down here and anticipating an ashes win by tea. It's been a while since we could claim the little urn and there is much excitement.
(I just thought I'd put that in as I'm sure that few of our American friends will have any idea what I'm talking about.)
It is not all that bad, I've been pleasantly surprised by many of my dates around my age and have one now who I'd like to be steady with. Good for me, and also to introduce to family and friends. He's almost 7 years my junior, but my husband was 8 years older than I back in 1959 when I married.
Ha hah – that is sadly true.

I wrote this thread when I was incredibly frustrated wasn't thinking clearly at all. I just wanted to vent my anger out on this forum, so I did. But I can understand how a lot of people would think I always have this kind of attitude.
I really don't like the phrase "It's not the dog it's the owner". Not because I disagree, but because I think it makes it sound like I've poorly raised my dogs or I don't treat them well, which is not the case.
My dogs and I do a lot of individual training together. They are very well behaved, loving animals. The only thing they have trouble with is socializing with other dogs, especially smaller ones. Like mentioned before, it's most likely because they have had very little interaction with other dogs when they were puppies. I was younger when they were puppies, and was living in a fairly large home with a huge backyard. My mom's told she never took them to dog parks or to meet friends' dogs because she felt that they had everything they needed where they were.
Back on the leash thing, when my dogs see other dogs, that is the only time they ever act out in a very hard to control manner. I appreciate the advice given to very slowly socialize my dogs with others, and I agree that it was wrong of me to say it could never change, because that isn't true.
It still frustrates me though when people walk their dogs without a harness or a leash. There are many different kinds of leashes that can make it a whole lot more comfortable for the dog too. I stand firm in the belief that unless your dog is well trained enough to listen to your commands when you're walking them without a leash, you shouldn't be walking them without one. It isn't my fault at all when someones dog dashes to mine and starts trying to get really close to them despite the owner telling them not to. This is where my frustration is from
Anyways, I'll try to convince my mom to slowly introduce our dogs to some of our friends dogs so ours are more comfortable with strangers, and issues like this can be avoided.
Swallow your pride, because silence is golden, and I wouldn't pay a penny to hear your thoughts.

Search billions of records on Ancestry.com
I'd love to compare notes with you on this family!
E-mail me email@example.com
I recently received a package from Warren Cantrell, noted Cantrell family genealogist. I found the following paragraphs especially interesting for many reasons. The humorous account of our Cross-Dressing Grandma is very special to my heart.... But I thought many of you with PEGGE connections might also find some of the references to them interesting, too.
Richard Cantrill married Dorothy Jones (daughter of Ellis Jones) in the early 1690s. She was born in 1672 in Wales, England. As she was a Quaker and Richard may have been of the Church of England, to use the Quaker term, they were married "Out of Meeting". History tells us that Daniel PEGG and Thomas Smith were the earliest local brickmakers, as we have mentioned above and this was Daniel PEGG, Sr. who owned 200 acres in the Northern Liberties. We know that he married Martha Allen of Bucks Co., PA. Daniel PEGG, Sr. died in 12 Mo. 23rd day 1702/3. Daniel Jr. inherited the property and continued to manufacture bricks. The family genealogist stated that Barbara Jones married Daniel PEGGE. From her mother's will, we know there were two sons, Daniel and Nathan. It is possible that Barbara was the second wife of Daniel PEGGE Sr. When Daniel PEGG Jr. died in the 1730s and his will was proved 6 Feb. 1732, it mentions no sons, but two nephews Daniel and John Coats, sons of Thomas Coat (a brickmaker) who married his sister Elizabeth PEGGE. To his wife, Sarah, he left his other property. From records of marriages in Phil. we find a record where Barbara Jones married Daniel PEGG 5 Mar 1691. Mary Jones married her cousin, Isaac Jones.
As we mentioned above, Richard returned the rental grant that he had acquired in 1701 in the third month of 1702. The next record we find of Richard and Dorothy Cantrill was in 1703 Delaware Court Proceedings as extracted by Scharf.

L'Wren Scott's Funeral Took Place Yesterday
She was buried in Los Angeles.
L'Wren Scott's funeral took place at Los Angeles's Hollywood Forever Cemetery yesterday, just eight days after she tragically took her own life. The private ceremony was attended by 70 people, and her casket was covered with hundreds of pink and white roses, according to the New York Post. Her longtime partner, Mick Jagger, and friend Ellen Barkin gave eulogies, and other close friends and family gave readings and speeches, including Scott's niece, who read Shakespeare's "Sonnet 18," which begins with the line, "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"

Science Under the Dome
Join us Friday, January 22, 2016 at 7:00pm for
If you can't stand the hot (stones), get out of the kitchen!
presented by Professor W.J. Llope
Department of Physics & Astronomy, Wayne State
University, Detroit, MI
Ionizing radiation, the subatomic particles with energies large enough to cause genetic mutations and potentially cancer, surrounds us. It rains on us from above, is in our food, rises into the air from the ground under our homes, and is key to many beneficial medical diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Physicists, like myself, that smash nuclei together at high speeds are aware of and comfortable with an additional exposure beyond this natural background resulting from our research. One day a few years ago, I was asked to appear in a local TV news piece investigating a homeowner's claim that his granite kitchen countertops had killed his dogs and was thus assumed to be greatly endangering his family. This propelled me into few year hobby to understand the physics of radiation from granite countertops. Along the way, I ran into (unnecessarily) angry granite retailers, a public already overly worried about radiation risks, local and national media coverage, and several forms of subtle industrial subterfuge. At the same time, I collected a wide variety of samples of granite countertops available for sale to homeowners from random granite dealers, and then measured the radiation rates and activity concentrations of the major radioactive sources, 40-K, U-nat, and 232-Th, using a "full spectrum analysis". An anthropomorphic phantom and the "geant4" physics simulation package was used to relate the measured activity concentrations to the potential yearly direct-radiation doses to kitchen occupants.
