Finding a way to slow the biological processes of aging will do more to extend the period of healthy life in humans than attacking individual diseases alone, according to some of the nation's top gerontologists writing in the latest issue of Public Policy and Aging Report (PP&AR), titled "The Longevity Dividend: Geroscience Meets Geropolitics."
The authors showcase work in the emerging interdisciplinary field of geroscience, which is based on the knowledge that aging itself is the major risk factor for most chronic diseases prevalent in the older population.
The new PP&AR, published by The Gerontological Society of America (GSA), will be released during a press briefing at GSA's 66th Annual Scientific Meeting in New Orleans. Both the issue and the briefing were developed in partnership with the American Federation for Aging Research.
"In recent years, researchers studying the biological underpinnings of the aging process have made impressive progress in understanding the genetics, biology, and physiology of aging," said GSA Executive Director and CEO James Appleby, RPh, MPH.
"With adequate research support, we could be in reach of a breakthrough similar to those in public health in the 19th century and medicine in the 20th."
The PP&AR contains seven articles that discuss the contemporary pursuit of scientific means to extend the period of healthy life by slowing aging in people - known as the Longevity Dividend Initiative - and some of the obstacles that stand in the way of what many consider to be one of the most exciting breakthroughs in the history of science and public health.
"In this new issue, we are proud to spotlight the pioneering work of high-profile researchers who add visibility to the value of geroscience in the eyes of both the scientific community and the general public," said AFAR Executive Director Stephanie Lederman, EdM.
As author Gordon J. Lithgow, PhD, points out, many childhood diseases were brought under control by antibiotics and vaccines once scientists understood they essentially had a single cause: microbes.
If the diseases of late life also have a single cause (aging itself), then researchers should be able to develop classes of therapeutics by targeting aging mechanisms in a way similar to targeting microbial infection.
Yet PP&AR Editor Robert B. Hudson, PhD, explains that scientists may face difficulty in convincing skeptics - among the biomedical community, public and private funders of research, and the general public - that attacking aging is a viable and more efficient approach to reducing the risk of all fatal and disabling diseases and improving well-being across the life cycle.
Author S. Jay Olshansky, PhD, additionally emphasizes that the Longevity Dividend Initiative is not focused on delaying aging at the expense of an extended period of infirmity at the end of life.
He writes that "although people who benefit from advances in aging science will probably live longer, the extension of healthy life is the primary goal. In addition, reductions in the infirmities of old age and increased economic value to individuals and societies would accrue from the extension of healthy life."

Electronic Arts Delays Holiday Game Battlefield to 2015
Electronic Arts Inc. (EA), maker of the FIFA soccer and Titanfall video games, delayed the release of Battlefield Hardline, a major holiday title, until next year.
The shooter game will go on sale in early 2015, Electronic Arts said yesterday in a statement, a delay from Oct. 21. Dragon Age Inquisition, due Oct. 7, was postponed to Nov. 18 in North America.
The Redwood City, California-based company pushed back the release of Battlefield Hardline for additional work, missing out on Christmas sales for an important title. The delay overshadowed fiscal first-quarter sales and profit that beat analysts' estimates on gains from FIFA soccer, Titanfall, Battlefield 4 and EA Sports UFC.
"Some people are spooked because one of the games is delayed out of the quarter," said Michael Pachter, an analyst with Wedbush Securities in Los Angeles who recommends buying the stock. "It's not that big of a deal. It's not that they're going to permanently lose sales."
Electronic Arts fell 6.2 percent to $36.04 at the close in New York, the biggest one-day drop since Nov. 15. The shares have gained 57 percent this year.
With the delay, Electronic Arts reiterated its outlook for the year that ends next March. The company is forecasting sales of $4.1 billion on an adjusted basis and profit of $1.85 a share, excluding items. Analysts project $1.88 a share, with sales of $4.14 billion.
The outlook "reflects the launch date changes for Battlefield Hardline and Dragon Age Inquisition," the company said in its statement.
'Right Thing'
"We decided that the right thing to do was to take more time to ensure Hardline is the best, most innovative Battlefield experience we can give to you," the company said on its blog.
Electronic Arts could recoup the delayed revenue as Battlefield Hardline sells over a longer period of time and may raise its outlook later if circumstances warrant, said Chief Financial Officer Blake Jorgensen.
"It doesn't signal anything negative or positive," Jorgensen said in a telephone interview. "We're still very early in the year."
Holiday Sales
The delay may reduce the company's holiday sales by about 2 million units, Eric Handler, an analyst with MKM Partners LLC, in Greenwich, Connecticut, said in a telephone interview.
"Given that they don't have a lot of near-term catalysts from a game perspective, there are some concerns about the back half of the year," said Handler, who has a neutral rating on the stock. "It's a very crowded holiday season."
First-quarter earnings, excluding items, totaled 19 cents a share, Electronic Arts said, compared with a loss of 40 cents a year ago. Analysts had forecast a loss of 4 cents, the average of 23 estimates. Sales, including adjustments, grew 57 percent to $775 million in the period ended June 30, beating estimates of $714.3 million.
Net income for the quarter jumped 51 percent to $335 million, or $1.04 a share, from a year earlier, Electronic Arts said. Revenue advanced 28 percent to $1.21 billion.
With new consoles from Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) and Sony Corp. (SNE) on sale, the company generated growth in both packaged games and online purchases. Electronic Arts had several top-selling titles in the U.S. during the quarter, according to researcher NPD Group Inc., including Titanfall, FIFA soccer and UFC.
Digital revenue increased 28 percent to $482 million in the period, while sales of packaged games more than doubled to $293 million, the company said.
This quarter, Electronic Arts expects profit of 50 cents a share, excluding items, compared with the 52-cent average of analysts' estimates. Sales on an adjusted basis will be $1.14 billion, in line with projections, fueled by FIFA, The Sims, Madden NFL and EA Sports NHL, the company said.

Positive thinking: Unleashing the power within
Positive thinking can elude the best of us, but the power of positive thinking cannot be overlooked. Especially when you're a new mum.
Life with a newborn is SO exhausting. The kind of exhausting that reaches right down to your bones. The kind of exhausted that leaves you grumpy in the mornings and asleep at the dinner table come 6pm. It's the kind of exhaustion that is, dare I say it, depression inducing.
Lately, with the addition of our third child here at The Beetle Shack, I've been so exhausted that I've lost the ability to think straight and to be honest, I've been finding myself struggling to stay positive.
My life is so focused on the home. Surrounded by these walls I go about my day completing menial tasks whilst doing the most important job in the world – raising babies to be real humans.
Much of the time I do a great job. I really do, but there are occasions when I fail in embarrassingly significant ways.
Sometime in the last week I had a tiny little thought. A thought that was as small as a mustard seed.
I was awoken in the morning in the usual way, by adoring children pitter pattering their way into our room and accosting my senses with their presence. Usually I rustle around under the covers for a little longer before making my way to the kitchen for coffee. But on this occasion I pressed my face into my pillow and thought, "I just can't do it any more, I can't face another day when I'm THIS exhausted."
Of course, I rose from my bed and schlepped into the kitchen anyway. The day rolled on and the kids behaved in their usual manner; equal parts naughty and nice.
But with the mornings and days that followed that tiny mustard seed of a thought grew and grew and grew until today I find myself completely overwhelmed with everything about motherhood. All of it.
I can make no sense of breakfast, lunch, dinner, naps or nappies. It's beyond me.
That mustard seed is now a tree and its roots are choking my scrambled brain. I'm foggy and distracted and miserable and it feels wretched.
Something has got to give and it's not going to be my mental health for any longer.
If that tiny little negative thought can grow and develop over the course of a week then surely some positive thinking could do the same!
Today, right now, I'm claiming my brain back. I'm claiming my heart and finding some strength beyond my own. I'm planting a seed of positivity and I'm going to watch it grow. I'm reminding myself that I am capable, my house may be messy and my washing may remain unfolded but I am capable.
I can do this and so can you.

The board running the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority has been criticized on numerous fronts for its lavish travel spending, but that didn't stop one board member from billing the agency nearly $2,500 to attend a funeral.
Bob Brown, a federal appointee to the board that oversees the $6 billion Dulles Rail project, billed the authority just over $1,200 for an unrestricted coach-class ticket to fly from his Cleveland home to Philadelphia and more than $700 for the chauffeured sedan he used when he landed to attend the funeral of Charles Snelling, a former authority chairman who killed himself and his Alzheimers-stricken wife in March.
Brown also billed the authority for a hotel room, airport parking, a taxi and breakfast.
Brown said he needed a chauffeur because he doesn't see well at night and didn't want to drive himself and risk the funeral stretching past sunset. He bought a more expensive unrestricted ticket, he said, so he wouldn't lose money if he canceled the trip.
Another board member, H.R. Crawford, also hired a driver to go to Snelling's funeral, but he didn't bill the authority for it and has no plans to do so.

Simplifying Fibromyalgia Assessment: The VASFIQ Brief Symptom Scale.
S. Boomershine, Chad, Zlateva, Gergana, Wang, Yi, Whalen, Ed, Emir, Birol
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a complex disorder of chronic widespread pain and tenderness associated with symptoms of fatigue, poor sleep, depression, and anxiety. Due to its complexity, identifying clinically significant symptoms and monitoring treatment response in FM is difficult. While the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) can quantify global disease severity, scoring complexity, length and the inability to identify patients with significant symptoms limit its clinical utility. We hypothesized a more clinically useful FM scale could be formed from the 7 FIQ visual analogue scales (the VASFIQ), with the sum of VASFIQ scores providing a global disease severity measure and cut-off scores for individual VASs derived to identify clinically significant symptoms of fatigue, poor sleep, depression and anxiety.
Data from 2229 patients enrolled in 3 pregabalin FM treatment trials (LIFT1, RELIEF2 and 11003) were analyzed including scores from the FIQ, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Sleep Problems Index 9 (SLP) and the Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue Global Fatigue Index (MAF). Spearman rank correlations compared scores. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis identified cut-off scores on individual FIQ VASs with corresponding validated questionnaires used to define cases.
VASFIQ global scores correlated with FIQ global scores at baseline (r=0.94, p<0.0001) and study endpoints (r=0.97, p<0.0001). Change in VASFIQ and FIQ global scores at study endpoints correlated (r=0.96, p<0.0001). Individual FIQ VAS scores correlated with all corresponding validated questionnaire scores at baseline (VASfatigue with MAF r=0.67; VASsleep with SLP r=0.50; VASdepressed with HADS-D r=0.57; VASanxiety with HADS-A r=0.64, all with p<0.0001) and study endpoints (VASfatigue with MAF r=0.76; VASsleep with SLP r=0.67; VASdepressed with HADS-D r=0.62; VASanxiety with HADS-A r=0.67, all with p<0.0001). Change in individual FIQ VAS scores correlated with change in corresponding validated questionnaire scores at study endpoints (VASfatigue with MAF r=0.64; VASsleep with SLP r=0.57; VASdepressed with HADS-D r=0.43; VASanxiety with HADS-A r=0.47, all with p<0.0001). ROC analyses showed a VASfatigue score of >=7.5 was 76.0% sensitive and 82.2% specific for fatigue defined as a >=30 score on the MAF [ROC area 0.87, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.850.89], a VASsleep score of >=7.9 was 68.7% sensitive and 71.2% specific for poor sleep defined as a >=50 score on the SLP (ROC area 0.76, 95% CI 0.740.79), a VASdepression score of >=5.8 was 71.3% sensitive and 72.6% specific for depression defined as a >=11 score on the HADS-D (ROC area 0.80, 95% CI 0.77, 0.82) and a VASanxiety score of >=6 was 71.2% sensitive and 77.7% specific for anxiety defined as a >=11 score on the HADS-A (ROC area 0.83, 95% CI 0.81, 0.84).
The VASFIQ is a brief FM scale to assess global disease severity and identify patients with clinically significant symptoms of fatigue, poor sleep, depression and anxiety.

If my Medal is hanging on the door knob come back in an hour.......
Speaking to the Huffington Post this week US Slopestyle Skier Joss Christensen disked on what goes on behind closed doors in the Olympic Village.
He says right now... NOT MUCH.
Most of the worlds athletes are far to focued on thier events. Every two years rumors circulate about what's happening about all these athletic young man and woman, mostly good looking and in terrific shape.
Joss told the paper "I haven't seen too much around the USA building,"
"There are definitely some honeys out there. The cafeteria is definitely where you're gonna be spittin' some game."
Often includes compliments and other forms of flattery that will hopefully end in a phone number which leads to a date, which leads to hot sex.
When asked about the condoms reportedly distributed in Sochi, the skier said, "I haven't seen any of those yet."

Remember when the 49ers gold rush happened in Maine? How about when Dan'l Boone explored California? Do you remember when Lee surrendered his Confederate army in Fargo, North Dakota? Well, to those famous places with famous incidents we can add that great Revolutionary War battle of Lexington and Concord... Virginia. At least we can do so in the reckoning of one Jamie Fansworth of the CBS News blog "From the Road" because it seems our friend Farnsworth is a little fuzzy on where some of the most famous battles of the American Revolution were held.
Today, in the CBS blog post about McCain declaring "Energy Independence by 2025," CBS News' Jamie Farnsworth wrote the following (my bold for emphasis):
Las Vegas, NV -- Senator John McCain unveiled the name of his energy project in Las Vegas today as he wrapped up the western swing of his two week energy tour. Deemed the Lexington Project, McCain's plan states the U.S. will be independent of foreign energy sources by the year 2025.
"For the town where Americans asserted their independence once before," McCain explained of the plan's namesake in Virginia. "Let it begin today with this commitment: In a world of hostile and unstable suppliers of oil, this nation will achieve strategic independence by 2025."
One teenie, weenie problem. The famous battles of the Revolution in question occurred in Massachusetts not Virginia.
In fact, Lexington, Virginia wasn't even founded until after the great Revolutionary War battle in Massachusetts. We know this because the battle in Massachusetts was what the town in Virginia was named after.
Here is a bit of help for Farnsworth.
The City of Lexington, originally known as Gilbert Campbell's Ford, was established as the town of Lexington in the Spring of 1778. The name chosen by the Virginia Legislature for the new county seat was in honor of the first great battle of the Revolutionary War, the battle of Lexington, Massachusetts, which had occurred three years earlier.
As Max Smart is wont to say, "Missed it by that much."

Two months ago, as a condition of approval for Loblaw Companies' acquisition of the Shoppers Drug Mart chain, the Competition Bureau ordered Loblaw to sell off 18 retail stores and nine in-store pharmacies so the company would not gain undue control of the local drugstore trade.
The ruling affected under-served small towns exclusively, and the list of forced divestitures resonates with an almost poetic sense of Canadian locale: Citizens in Sechelt. B.C., Barrington Passage and Tantallon, N.S., Innisfail, Alta., Montague, PEI, Dalhousie, N.B., and Blenheim, Ont., suddenly found themselves chosen to have their shopping landscape altered because a big-business merger had been fine-tuned for the greater good.
In Elmira, a town of 10,500 where the biggest event of the year is the annual maple-syrup festival and the local showpiece is Ontario's last wooden covered bridge, the axe fell quite surprisingly on Paul and Adèle's No Frills. The bustling discount supermarket features horse-and-buggy parking for Old Order Mennonites who prize the store both for its bargain prices and a location that lets them right-turn into the parking lot without having to steer their slow-moving buggies across the mad rush of oncoming traffic.
"The people here in Elmira ended up being horse-traded," says resident Roy Weber. "We're a pawn in a deal between Loblaws and the Competition Bureau that doesn't take common sense into consideration. It's incredible."
For most places that are losing a store by federal fiat, the decision has carried the force of inevitability. But the people of Elmira and surrounding Woolwich Township refused to go quietly.
"We feel that the bureau should mind its own business and let customers decide where they want to shop," says Brian McHugh, who owns a photo shop in downtown Elmira and has organized a petition of protest that now has 2,600 names. "And they only want Paul and Adèle's No Frills."
While the bureau requires Loblaw to sell the store to what it describes as an "effective competitor," the supermarket business is now so concentrated in Canada that there are few likely buyers. Sobeys already operates an upscale Foodland outlet across the road, so it's out of the running. The closest equivalent to No Frills is Metro's Food Basics discount store, but Elmira's protesters have organized an online campaign to let Metro know it's not welcome. They believe they shouldn't be forced to trade brands, break their shopping habit and ditch Paul and Adèle Henderson's supermarket just because of a mandate formulated without any sign of local consultation.
"It's like they're saying, you can't buy Levi's any more, you're all going to have to buy Wranglers," says Todd Cowan, mayor of the Township of Woolwich. "Well, wait a minute, that's not the same. But the Competition Bureau can handily answer, 'Well, yeah, but it's still blue jeans.'"
The bureau's responsibility is to create the conditions for an efficient economy while providing consumers with competitive prices and a range of product choices. From this perspective, the forced sale makes perfect sense: The post-merger Loblaw would have had too much control over the pricing of pharmacy and drugstore goods in Elmira, since it now owns a nearby Shoppers Drug Mart that used to compete both with No Frills' in-store pharmacy and its broader product line of personal-care products and packaged foods.
"The Bureau is not requiring that the No Frills in Elmira be closed," said assistant deputy commissioner Anthony Durocher in an e-mail statement. "On the contrary, the sale of that store to an effective competitor will ensure that it remains open and competing."
Except that it won't. The bureau sees the ongoing continuity of a generalized entity known as a store – and declares that an economic victory. In this spirit of equanimity, a new sign has been posted at the No Frills entranceway: "Rest assured. A grocery store will remain at this location to suit your needs."
But the people of Elmira recognize that "a grocery store" is not the same as the particular No Frills they know and love. This ambiguous discrepancy in language underlines the difference between decision-makers in Ottawa-Gatineau and the small town they are infuriating with their double-speak.
"The word that comes to mind is Orwellian," says Elmira resident Sebastian Siebel-Achenbach, a history instructor at the University of Waterloo. "Elmira is going to lose a discount grocery store because there is the potential that prices for medications and drugstore merchandise might increase. This just sounds absurd to many residents of this town because there is no proportionality."
If small-town dissatisfaction with faraway governments is on the rise, it's often because of this feeling that decision makers aren't attuned to everyday human experiences – like caring for a large family on a small budget, a common situation for the Mennonite homemakers who range across the No Frills aisles in their black shawls and prayer caps while their menfolk and whinnying horses wait outside.
"The problem here," says Loren King, a professor of political science at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, "is that bureaucracies are focused on abstract ideas: This is what fair competition will be, this is how it's got to be implemented. And the way it's implemented has more to do with how bureaucracies work than trying to make the decision sensitive to the town."
Elmira's decision to fight back is a sign of just how heightened its small-town sensitivities have become. Change is in the air as the onetime hub for the local farming community is turning into a dormitory suburb for nearby Waterloo – a new 1,200-home development called Country Club Estates can't help but alter the town's tricky balancing act between enduring past and restless present. A constant flow of heavy trucks speeds through a once-tranquil downtown, rattling past the historic Carnegie Library and the picturesque bandshell, leaving precious little room for the horses making their slow way to market.
As urbanization encroaches on an older way of life, the order to sell a supermarket is another sign that a community's destiny may be beyond its control.
"The unknown is scary to a lot of people," Mr. Cowan says. "When you have the government at the federal level saying, 'Just trust us, it's all going to be fine,' yeah, we're a little bit leery of that one." The leeriness with power's custodians is endemic in Elmira, and for a very good historical reason. Agent Orange, the Vietnam War defoliant of choice, was manufactured in a chemical factory bordering the winding Canagagigue Creek – the local aquifer is still contaminated, local wells were ordered closed, and water is now piped in from Waterloo.
Much of the Competition Bureau's work is done in secret, for reasons of business confidentiality, and the timetable for the No Frills closure and sale has been intentionally left vague to prevent Loblaw's rivals from lowballing a bid at the deadline stage. Meanwhile, Paul and Adèle Henderson of No Frills are not able speak out about their own uncertain future. "Paul and Adèle have to stay neutral," Mr. McHugh says. "The Competition Bureau has a monitor in place who makes sure that they don't do anything political to save the store."
This lack of openness makes the residents of Elmira feel even more disconnected as they're told to fit themselves into the grand theories of a robust market economy. And the bureau hasn't exactly made things better with its remote bureaucratic style, which treats the events in Elmira and elsewhere as a fait accompli delivered from on high.
"Don't give us the clouded reassurance that everything will work out," Mr. Weber says. "The bureau says there's nothing to worry about. But they can't guarantee what business does."Report Typo/Error

"I just wanted to let you know that I'm really glad to do business with you guys again. I've purchased from you outside of work as well and I'm amazed at the efficiency your company has. You can ship anywhere and on time. I ordered a gift basket for my father in California about three days before US thanksgiving and the basket made it on time! And I know that when I need to ship baskets internationally under tight deadlines, you guys can get it done. Truly. We've used other companies before where gifts containing fruits, wine, cheese, or even chocolates where held up at customs or the packages 'never' arrived. It's great to know that with your company, the baskets will arrive and I can just move on to other tasks."
Adam - Quebec, Canada - Dec 5, 2012
"I was very hesitant to use an unknown online process after several bad incidents in the past but I was so very happy with the results. The service was efficient and the contact from staff was fast and courteous. I was reassured when the ladies at GiftbasketsOverseas immediately noted the special delivery address and the fact that it was for my 90 year old Aunties Birthday. Auntie was surprised and teary at receiving such a wonderful basket and flowers. She was overwhelmed and the envy of her peers and fellow residents. Thank you so much for helping me celebrate a special lady. I can't recommend you highly enough. "

In any event, whether you like the product or not, there is one thing that is abundantly clear from this launch: it was a complete and utter PR home run. Check out the chatter on TechMeme. It is THE story of the day. You think the world wants a second search engine??
Of course the digerati crowd chattering about a product launch is to be expected. What impressed me about this launch is that it managed to go well beyond the usual suspects. The mainstream press has been all over this. Anecdotally, I've already received a ton of email from people outside the industry who heard about the launch. These are folks in the mid-west who don't follow this industry at all, and they're being reached. Even better, not only are these guys hearing about the launch, they're actually going to the site and doing some searches. That's a big win.
Anyway, the launch has had some performance issues (to be expected given this amount of traffic), and some query results are not spot on, but search is hard and I'm sure those are on-going efforts. But for today, I say congrats Cuil on the launch - well done!

FVision: A Declarative Language for Visual Tracking
John Peterson, Greg Hager, Paul Hudak, Alastair Reid
Functional programming languages are not generally associated with computationally intensive tasks such as computer vision. We show that a declarative programming language like Haskell is effective for describing complex visual tracking systems. We have taken an existing C++ library for computer vision, called XVision, and used it to build FVision (pronounced ``fission''), a library of Haskell types and functions that provides a high-level interface to the lower-level XVision code. Using functional abstractions, users of FVision can build and test new visual tracking systems rapidly and reliably. The use of Haskell does not degrade system performance: computations are dominated by low-level calculations expressed in C++ while the Haskell ``glue code'' has a negligible impact on performance.
FVision is built using functional reactive programming (FRP) to express interaction in a purely functional manner. The resulting system demonstrates the viability of mixed-language programming: visual tracking programs continue to spend most of their time executing low-level image-processing code, while Haskell's advanced features allow us to develop and test systems quickly and with confidence. In this paper, we demonstrate the use of Haskell and FRP to express many basic abstractions of visual tracking.

Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Regualar monthly meeting for Women in Politics Membes only and invited guests.
About the Women in Politics Network Miami:
The Women in Politics Network is a nonpartisan grassroots movement with the mission of engaging all Women in Politics. The Women in Politics Network encourages women to get off the sidelines of politics to become engaged, educated and empowered. Every woman in America is affected by legislation enacted at every level of government. Therefore, every woman should be an active, engaged participant in the local, state and national political discourse. A woman can chose to be involved politically in many ways but at a minimum, every woman must be aware of those political issues that impact her life daily.
Members can be invited to join the national netowrk or a local network of the Women in Politics Network. The Women in Politics Network at the local level first engages and educates a woman on the issues dominating politics in her community. Through the cooperative community created by each network, a woman can take action to influence legislation that affects her life and the lives of her family members. Women in Politics Network members are educated through advocacy, political and career trainings hosted by the Political Institute for Women. Members are encouraged to become engaged voters, advocates, candidates for political office or professionals working in the political sector. The local chapter also serves as a recruitment and support network for women running for office in each community.

OSC staff comment on the degree of "control" that will determine a fund's status as an "investment fund" and other matters
The OSC's Investment Funds Branch yesterday released the November 2012 issue of its Investment Funds Practitioner. The publication is intended to provide an overview of issues identified by the Branch in recent filings made by investment funds and is published on a periodic basis.
In this edition of the newsletter, of particular interest are the Branch's comments regarding when an entity meets the definition of a "non-redeemable investment fund". Consistent with what the OSC (and other Canadian Securities Administrators') staff have said in the past, the newsletter states that staff continue to regard an investment fund as an issuer that does not seek to exercise control over or become involved in the management of investee companies, and that they generally expect the investment approach to be passive in nature. However, the newsletter goes on to state that, in staff's view, "any degree of control or active involvement in the management of the investee companies by an issuer would mean that the issuer is not an investment fund."
According to the newsletter, in determining whether an issuer exercises control over, or is involved in the management of an investee company (which would disqualify the issuer from being considered an investment fund), staff will consider indicators including: (i) whether the issuer holds securities representing more than 10% of the outstanding equity or voting securities of the investee company; (ii) any right of the issuer to appoint board or board observer seats on the investee company; (iii) restrictions on the management, or approval or veto rights over decisions made by the management, of the investee company by the issuer; or (iv) any right of the issuer to restrict the transfer of securities by other securityholders of the investee company. The presence of one or more of the preceding factors, according to the newsletter, is "generally indicative of control".
These comments are noteworthy because the issue of whether a fund is an "investment fund" has broader implications, including in determining whether a person who manages the business or affairs of an entity is an "investment fund manager" and therefore required to register as such. This is a question which "managers" of private equity, venture capital and similar types of funds/investment entities have struggled with for quite some time, especially where the investment portfolio includes a degree of passive investment. This interpretation could arguably help to clarify the situation for such managers, given the statement in the newsletter that "any degree of control, would mean the issuer is not an investment fund". The caveat, of course, is that it remains to be seen whether this view is shared by the Investment Funds Branch's counterparts in the Compliance and Registrant Regulation Branch of the OSC, and by other CSA staff, and if not, whether any disparate views among staff can be reconciled. We intend to continue our discussions with CSA staff in order to obtain greater clarity on this issue.
With respect to prospectuses, the newsletter highlights a number of issues identified in recent investment funds' filings, including the use of bulleted placeholders for items that should be disclosed at the time of preliminary filings, insufficient statements regarding the investment objectives of a bottom fund in certain fund-of-fund structures, recommended practices for filing linked note pricing supplements, recommended practices where the manager charges a fixed administration fees with adjustment payments, and the use of images and artwork in prospectuses.
On the issue of applications for exemptive relief, the newsletter discusses relief applications granted in connection with certain managed accounts, sub-adviser conflicts of interest (including how the related provisions of NI 81-102 and NI 81-107 intersect in that regard), the use of past performance data in a prospectus, and index funds that change the index being tracked.
Meanwhile, continuous disclosure issues are also discussed. Specifically, staff recently began a review program for advertising and marketing materials of a sample group of investment funds. Going forward, four to six fund managers will be selected for review on a quarterly basis. The requirement to provide notification of changes to IRC composition, the electronic filing of NI 45-106 reports, and the need to provide the complete history of amended documents are also discussed.

Hi all,
I'm trying to find out if it'd be ok to use one of those little smokey joe grills in prospect park (or any other nyc park that has grilling areas for that matter). i ask because the rules state that the grill needs to be raised at least 2 ft off the ground but the little smokeys are only about 1.5 ft. is it going to be a big deal with the parks service or is it something i can get away with?
i'm just trying to figure out how brooklyner without tons of storage space for a full size grill can get to grill in nyc parks without having to buy a full sized grill or get to the park at 9am to hold onto a grill. i just wanna grill, man!

Well, my transport should be back by Friday, once it settles in, I'll do some comparisons.
What about Masters? Did you listen to any of them? If you use the Tidal player, you should be seeing 24/88 or 96 at your DAC.
Are you new to Tidal? There are more settings after you click on your DAC, of course you probably know that, but it is not obvious to everyone. I think I missed it the first time.
Follow Ups:
Masters sound pretty good. I used the Meridian Explorer 2 DAC with them.
considering most of the content I listen to is only available as 16/44.1 I still prefer the CD. However the stream is convenient, just not the best compared to physical disc.
Have you tried partially unfolded through Vega DAC?
Playing the partially unfolded MQA files through by Lindemann, well depending on the original recording, some do sound really good.
I do wish I could bypass the Tidal player, but Roon is too expensive, and JRiver doesn't have any plans for Tidal. I did some reading, and apparently JRiver had done a lot of work to integrate, and Tidal said no.
Roon must have paid enough for them to allow it.
yes, tried the partial unfold on the Vega. Does not sound as good as the Meridian Explorer 2.
I subscribe to Deezer Elite, and will stick with it instead.
Tidal MQA through their player into my Dragonfly Black sounded really good. The 16/44.1 not as much, but still better than any other streaming. I gave up on CD a while ago, but as I said elsewhere, maybe I needed to get a better DAC.
Vinyl Rules! (ducks)
You haven't updated your system since 2007, so it's hard to say. To get the best out of CDs, I believe everything matters. That means a good transport or all in one player. If separates then a good cable, preferably an I2S connection.
It is the same thing with Tidal, with partially unfolded MQA, and a good clean connection,or full MQA DAC like a Mytek, it can be totally enjoyable audio.
Right now I prefer CDs or downloads through JRiver, to Tidal's 16/44, but having all that music available is very cool. I think if you aren't using it to listen to music you already have, it is easier to enjoy. Kind of like ignorance is bliss.
If you only listen to audiophile quality recordings, you miss out on a lot good, but sometimes poorly recorded music. To me it is about the music first. And with the right gear, bad recordings are still worth listening to.

These questions and answers are intended to provide information and guidance for the application of the Section 5204(e) of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) as an assist to the FHWA Divisions and state departments of transportation in their efforts to enhance transportation workforce development.
Section 5204(e) of SAFETEA-LU allows funds from five core programs to be used for workforce development activities including employee education and training, and for programs to develop the future transportation workforce through career outreach and preparation. The five core programs are the Surface Transportation Program (STP), National Highway System (NHS), Interstate Maintenance, Bridge Program, and Congestion Mitigation/Air Quality (CMAQ). Program funds used for training, education and workforce development activities receive 100% federal funding.
Why was Section 5204(e) included in SAFETEA-LU?
The Transportation Research Board estimates that approximately 50% of the state transportation agency workforce will be eligible to retire within the next 10 years. According to the Department of Labor, the labor growth rate has declined from a high of 2.6% in the 1980's to a projected rate of 1.2% from 2000 to 2015, and is expected to grow as only 0.2% from 2015 to 2025. As the labor shortage becomes more pronounced, so to will the competition for workers from all industries. Those industries that are most effective in preparing for their next generation of workers will be better able to compete for the smaller labor pool. The core fund workforce development provisions provide the states with the opportunity to more effectively address the transportation workforce challenge by investing in efforts to support individuals coming into transportation, and current employees at all levels including those with management, technical, and vocational job responsibilities.
How do these provisions change what was allowed in TEA-21?
TEA-21 allowed the states to use up to ½ of 1 percent of Surface Transportation Program funds for employee training and included an 80-20 match requirement. The SAFETEA-LU provisions supersede TEA-21 and the more limited STP provisions by providing for 100% funding, extending eligibility for workforce development activities to the five core programs, and by not limiting the amount of funding available from each program. The SAFETEA-LU language also expands the types of eligible activities beyond training and education for employees to "pipeline" programs that will help students prepare for transportation careers.
What is the significance of the 100% federal funding provision?
SAFETEA-LU provides for 100% federal funding if the core program funds are used for training, education, or workforce development purposes including "pipeline" activities. If used for these purposes, it is not necessary for the state to match the federal funds. The 100% funding provision is a indication of the continuing interest in transportation workforce development and should provide for enhanced opportunities for the states to invest in employee professional development and student transportation career preparation programs.
What are some examples of "pipeline" programs that the core funds could be used to support?
Funds may be used for "education activities, including student outreach, to develop interest and promote participation in transportation careers." Funds may also be used for activities associated with "student transportation career preparation." This could include, but not necessarily be limited to, student transportation related internships; cooperative education programs, university, and college and college support, scholarship programs, and other activities associated with transportation career outreach or that will help students prepare for a career in transportation.
How can the funds be used for employee education, training and professional development?
The core program funds can be used for, but not necessarily be limited to, training programs, academic course study, apprenticeship programs, and support for short term work details or "rotational" assignments for the purpose of employee development. The core program funds may not used to pay any portion of employee salaries. Core program funds could be also be for employee training and professional development that is necessary to support a specific surface transportation capital project, such as a major roadway or bridge construction project. Funds could also be used for student outreach and internships associated with a particular project such as the T-REX project in Colorado.
Can the core program funds be used for travel and for equipment purchases?
The funds can be used for travel and for equipment purchases, however the travel or equipment purchase must be directly related to a defined employee training or professional development need, program or activity, or directly associated with a student transportation career awareness or preparation activity. The travel or equipment purchase must be used in primary support of the employee training or professional development, or student career activity. Travel to an industry meeting where training was one of several topics of discussion would not qualify for use of core funds. However, core funds could be used to support employee travel to and from a training or professional development program designed to improve the employees' skill, knowledge or abilities in surface transportation management or a technical discipline i.e. travel to a National Highway Institute or other industry training and professional development program.
In the "pipeline" area for example, bus transportation for students to participate in a transportation career awareness or development program, such as Construction Career Days would also be eligible. Programs and materials used to support student transportation programs such as the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) TRAC Program and the Associated General Contractors' (AGC) "Build Up" programs are just two of many types of materials that could be paid for by core funds in support of student transportation career development programs.
Can the core program funds be used as matching funds for other federal programs such as the Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) or the University Transportation Centers (UTC)?
No. Federal funds cannot be used to match federal funds unless specifically provided for in statute and there is no provision in SAFETEA-LU or other statute that allows the core program funds in Section 5204(e) to be used as matching funds.
Are there any restrictions on the use of CMAQ or Transportation Enhancement (TE) funds for workforce development and training programs?
With the continuing emphasis on environmental issues and FHWA's commitment to develop sound environmental policy, should a state or local government choose to use CMAQ or TE funds for workforce development or training purposes, the funds should be directed to activities related to the CMAQ or the TE program area, respectively.
How do the workforce provisions affect the funding available in the core programs?
The use of core program funds for workforce development is discretionary. This allows states the flexibility to determine whether they want to invest these funds in projects or programs directed at addressing their workforce needs. While the use of core funds for workforce development will reduce the funds available for capital projects, the investment will help assure transportation workers have the skills and knowledge they need to be efficient and effective in their work, and to apply new and innovative technologies. In this way, the use of core funds for workforce development will not compete with core program activities, but in fact, will be an important complement to those programs and as a support to the states' overall transportation mission.
What is the process to use the core funds for training, education and workforce development?
The decision to use core funds for training, education and workforce development activities is at the discretion of the state department of transportations with the approval of the FHWA Division. The state should notify the Division of their intent to use program funds for education, training or workforce development purposes. An account code for each of the five program funds has been established. Program funds used for education, training or workforce development purposes should be posted to the appropriate account code as follows:
Surface Transportation Program:
National Highway System:
Interstate Maintenance:
Bridge Program:
Congestion Mitigation/Air Quality (CMAQ):

1-3 racks baby back ribs
1 jar of Texas Spicy BBQ sauce
1 jar of Apricot sauce
1 jar Pork and Poultry shake
Lightly sprinkle Traeger shake on the ribs…top, bottom and sides. Refrigerate overnight. Start your Traeger on smoke with lid open for 5 minutes to get started. Turn grill on high for 10 minutes, then place ribs uncovered on the grill.
Cook ribs on high for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to medium for 2 hours. At 2 hours, look at the ribs and check that the meat has pulled back from the end of the bones ¼- to ½ inch and the rib color looks awesome!
Mix up about ½ cup each of the Texas Spicy and Apricot BBQ sauces into a bowl. Apply liberally to the top of the ribs. Cook 15 minutes more. Place ribs in foil and place back on grill for 15 minutes, remove from grill and enjoy!

Kevin Poulsen knows of what he writes.
The pre-eminent former hacker-turned-journalist/author has delivered a compelling read with his new book, Kingpin: How One Hacker Took Over the Billion Dollar Cyber Crime Underground (288 pages; $25; Crown Trade).
In it, the Wired.com senior editor spins a tight narrative on how Max "Vision" Butler crowned himself lord over an international underworld of thousands of professional computer intruders and credit card thieves that have upended the lives of millions of Americans. The story's arc traces Butler's remarkable rise, and law enforcement's manhunt of him.
Butler's rise to infamous glory underscores the genesis of a new generation of for-profit hackers far removed from the teenage pranksters commonly associated with the word "hacker" — and documented in several recent books, including one by myself and my USA TODAY colleague Byron Acohido, Zero Day Threat: The Shocking Truth of How Banks and Credit Bureaus Help Cyber Crooks Steal Your Money and Identity.
Poulsen, who was arrested in 1991 and received what was at the time the longest prison sentence ever handed out to a hacker, explains how the latest iteration of online fraudsters have quietly stitched together a vast criminal network that now stretches from Seattle to St. Petersburg, Russia.
Butler was a FBI consultant, but he secretly used his ample talents -- under the nom de plume "Iceman" -- to mastermind a massive digital black market.
It took a years-long undercover operation, spearheaded by FBI agent Keith Mularski, to ensnare Butler.

Tiffani Thiessen Spends Time With Family Ahead of Her Exciting Premiere
Tiffani Thiessen bounced baby Harper on her leg Sunday while hanging out with friends and family at a birthday party in LA. The White Collar actress is gearing up for the return of her show tonight — which mid-season shows are you excited to see? Her devilishly handsome costar, Matthew Bomer, spent his afternoon in a slightly more fancy way by joining other good-looking famous men on the red carpet at the Golden Globes. Tiffani and Matt have had to film their caper comedy in the Big Apple, but it looks they're both enjoying an extended stay in sunny CA for the time being.

Preppy men occasionally overdo it with a myriad of logos and pastels. Although these trends are quite popular with prepsters, it does not mean that sticking with the basics is no longer an option. We all have heard the motto that less is more – and this student has found that his approach to fashion is to keep it simple.
It was a blustery, sunny day when I discovered this Fashioinisto walking out of his apartment complex for his daily Starbucks run. He explained how it was nearly impossible to get his day started without getting dressed in something he could not fall back asleep in (I'm sure the shot of espresso in his cup did not hurt either). This is why his dark-rinse jeans, white V-neck, stylish sneakers and his black Polo windbreaker were great staples in his closet because each item can be paired with practically anything.
The Polo windbreaker he is wearing is surely not like the one your mother had in the '80s, or the ones the track team had back in high school. These lightweight jackets have come a long way and are a great choice in the face of those merciless Midwest winds that this winter continues to bring. Make sure you prepare for the windy weather by checking out the several different styles Nordstrom has to offer right now.
What I really liked about this Fashinisto's outfit were his purple tinted tennis shoes. They are a useful item to have in any man's closet, but also very unique when compared to your typical everyday shoe. This Fashionisto purchased his shoes from Clae, which he described as, "The best shoe brand there is!" His particular style is the Ellington shoe but explained to me that he owns several different pairs. I took it upon myself to browse the website and I fell in love with the Chambers style which is a great option for this snowy season. Remember Fashionistos, a simple outfit is sometimes the best way to stay modest yet stylish.
Hint: Don't forget that if your jeans are hiding the greatness of your shoes, a simple cuff or roll is a fast, fashionable fix.

Another 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' TV Spot Shows Off the Action
by Ethan Anderton
May 5, 2014
"I'm the Wolverine." We're just a little over a couple weeks away from seeing the time travel mash-up of two different X-Men franchises comes to life in X-Men: Days of Future Past. We're trying to keep our hype in check, if only because The Amazing Spider-Man 2 turned out to be a letdown on a number of levels despite the greatness of the cast. In this case, the cast is so massive that it would be a travesty if the film wasn't a home run, but we'll find out soon enough. A new TV spot has just showed up with some more cool action shots, including Wolverine taking on a Sentinel. But that little joke bit at the end feels forced. Watch!
Here's the new TV spot for X-Men: Days of Future Past from the X-Men YouTube channel:
X-Men: Days of Future Past is directed by Bryan Singer and written by Matthew Vaughn and Simon Kinberg. The sequel features cast members from the original X-Men franchise like Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Halle Berry, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore and Daniel Cudmore along with X-Men: First Class cast members like James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, and Michael Fassbender. The present day X-Men are in danger from a mistake in the past, and Wolverine is sent back in time to fix it in order to avoid a dark, terrifying future timeline. Fox will release Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past everywhere starting on May 23rd this summer. We can't wait. How does this one look?
