Laser Safe for Uterine Cyst Removal, Future Foaling Rates
- Mar 28, 2016
- Topics:
Foaling rates one and two years after successful cyst removal via laser photoablation were 74% and 65%, respectively.

Uterine cysts are one of many conditions tied to mare infertility; whether it's a lack of real estate on the uterine wall or an interruption of vital pregnancy establishment processes, it simply seems these tiny growths and pregnancies cannot coexist in some mares. Veterinarians can remove cysts to try to improve a mare's ability to carry a foal to term, but they hadn't sized up the efficacy of the most current technique until recently.
Because practitioners have had some success using a method called laser photoablation, Nicole Scherrer, DVM, of the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center, in Kennett Square, studied its efficacy in a group of broodmares treated at Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital, in Lexington, Kentucky, and presented her results at the 2015 American Association of Equine Practitioners Convention, held Dec. 5-9 in Las Vegas.
These cysts are common and not always problematic: 22.4% of the producing broodmare population have them; however, 55% of subfertile mares have them, said Scherrer.
Veterinarians typically see a significant increase in cyst numbers as mares age. Only 4% of broodmares under age 7 presenting to a clinic have cysts, 29% of broodmares ages 7 to 14 have them, and 73% of broodmares over age 14 have them.
But back to that 55%. How can growths this small have such a detrimental effect on fertility? Scherrer said researchers have two theories: They cause the mare's body to not recognize pregnancy, and/or they cause inadequate placental exchange of blood and nutrients necessary for fetal growth.
There are two types of cysts at hand. Small glandular cysts are solid tissue and only a couple of millimeters in size, whereas lymphatic cysts are often fluid-filled and can grow up to several centimeters; these are most likely the ones affecting fertility, said Scherrer. Researchers have shown that mares with more than five cysts or with cysts larger than 1 cm have lower pregnancy rates, she added.
Historically, treatment has included manual removal, aspiration, and uterine lavage. Manual removal, while inexpensive, is only effective on large cysts, and lavage has poor efficacy. Aspiration of the cystic fluid leaves the capsule behind, which is likely to fill back up again in the future. Veterinarians have also performed laser photoablation (basically, cutting the cyst away with a laser) with standing sedation, which allows the veterinarian to visualize and accurately remove the cyst, but researchers had not evaluated its effect on future foaling rates.
In her retrospective study, Scherrer looked at 42 Thoroughbred mares (45 total cysts) that had undergone uterine cyst laser ablation at Rood & Riddle from 1992 to 2011. She found that one and two years after the procedure, their foaling rates were 74% and 65%, respectively.
Mares younger than 17 were more likely to produce a foal than older mares (96% foaling rate vs. 58%), and cyst number and location had no significant effect. Short-term complications included mild hemorrhage, and long-term complications included recurrence in seven cases.
Overall, said Scherrer, this study "shows that diode laser photoablation is a safe, effective procedure for cyst removal and future foaling. The foaling rate the year after removal of the cysts was similar to that reported for normal Thoroughbred mares in Central Kentucky."
She added that it's important to keep in mind that the group of study mares had an average age of 17 years, which is significantly older than the average broodmare population.
Also, the laser requires special training and a significant financial investment, so large, multispecialty clinics are more likely to offer this procedure than smaller ones, she said.

Squirtz has a hottie this week! Marco Gagnon is an amateur guy who was turned on at the idea of getting naked for the camera, but unlike so many models, he says he has no interest in being a porn star. I love his long, uncut cock and his lean, athletic build, not to mention a hint of face scruff that gives him that ready-to-fuck look. Woof!

[url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/dwshoots/8646595943/]Smoke 1[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/dwshoots/]DWShoots[/url], on Flickr
I can be found on FACEBOOK here:
Flickr is the best place to see more of my images.
I have been involved with art in one form or another from a very early age. Being fortunate to have been raised for an appreciation of fine art in all forms is something that I've been blessed with.
My interests in photography lie with the shape of light and shadow on the human form. I'm not interested in shooting overtly erotic Hustler style images so if you are looking for a photographer for that type of work there are plenty of others that would be happy to do that for you and pay you gobs of money to see your hoo-ha.
I strictly adhere to a model's limits as frankly I don't have any interest in shooting that type of subject matter and again, if that's your thing, no big deal there are plenty of other photographers that would be happy to shoot that type of content with you. With that said, we can still create great images together!
I have several goals with my shots and hopefully with the right model we can achieve both our visions. Low-key lighting and abstract/landscape bodywork is my primary focus although I dabble in the experimental as well.
If you are looking for content for your website/Facebook/blog, etc. then let's do it! Feel free to contact me with any ideas or even suggestions. My standard rates are far more reasonable then you might imagine. =)
Finally, if you're a photographer or model in the South Texas area I highly recommend you join our Meetup Group at:
If you are a MODEL and would be interested in posing for our group please contact me and I will be happy to arrange a meeting for a shoot! We have a full studio of props and accessories for all sorts of concepts!
I have gallery representation from Xanadu Galleries of Scottsdale, AZ which can be found here:
If you have contacted me about working together, or if I you, and we haven't worked together yet please don't think I'm ignoring you ever. I am always incredibly busy with lots of things. Sometimes I have to prioritize projects. Keep in mind that this means I have lots of "back burner" projects! Things are always simmering!

Marie Toseland works across a wide range of media, producing objects, images and texts that work together to explore the tension between contrasting notions of stillness and spectacle, and tangibility and transience.
Central to this is a preoccupation with abstracted fragments, frozen flashes caught in the act of materialising or waning in paintings and photographs. They exist simple and minimal and, through form, palette and composition consider themes of muteness, ambiguity and abstraction. All reference the organic – touching at once on nature and the corporeal.
Drawing on ideas around ephemerality and absence, an interrogation into notions of failure and loss is intrinsic to the production of objects. Forms are cast in perishable materials and left to wither and melt with a pathetic eroticism. These are often combined with solid, unflinching objects, such as a wide wall of speakers, as well as the sounds amplified by these, or spoken word performance. Rather than inert and impervious to time, the deteriorating objects become performative spectacles. By playing with notions of expectation and event, the works speak of feelings of dissatisfaction and anti-climax. Crucially, their destruction is unmonumentally played out; what begins as a seductive, phallic assertion ends up ugly and undermined.
An interest in fragile instability is something which runs deeply throughout her practice, manifesting itself again in writing. Produced with the intention of being presented as spoken word – utilising the ephemeral, untraceable nature of performance – and often partnered by objects or images, her texts provide a platform for questioning the sculptural potential of materials and objects. Doggedly capricious and overly descriptive to the verge of becoming oblique, the texts waver somewhere between arrival and deferral, so that the desire for lasting tangibility is never satiated.
Marie Toseland has exhibited throughout the UK, with recent exhibitions including the solo show Local Interference, WORKS|PROJECTS, Bristol (2011), and group shows Thoresby Street Thursdays, One Thoresby Street, Nottingham (2012), and The Potential for Windows and Scale, Contemporary Art Society, London (2011). Her writing has been printed in several publications, including The Potential for Windows and Scale (An Endless Supply, 2012) and FEAST Journal (Laura Mansfield, 2011), included in the Nowhereisland Resident Thinker programme (Situations, 2012), and have been presented as spoken word performances for the Happy Hypocrite at both Spike Island, Bristol (2011) and Eastside Projects, Birmingham (2011). Born 1987, Toseland lives and works in Bristol.

very nice and clean hotel; good food for breakfast too far away from the city center (30 minutes by tram), not friendly personnel
private parking (but paid), nice bathroom, heating/air-cond can be easily controlled by the guest The hotel does not correspond to 4-star standard. Staff not polite, breakfast only average.Very high price of Internet (300 Kc / day). A bit noisy and the corridors are smelly.
The hotel itself and its rooms could be fine and really 4* but reality is different. The wlole place gives impression of an old and murky place. Rooms are relatively large but the feeling is "not quite clean", tired and murky. This feeling is even stronger when you see old spider nets close to windows with chipped painting in your bathroom where are no toiletries except of an universal liquid soap. The breakfast was the worst breakfast that I had in last few years... I want to stress that my rating is not impacted by the fact, that I was overcharged at check out where instead of booked 6 Euro parking was 199 CZK required (over 8 Euro) and also the stay itself whhich was booked in Euro and paid in CZK was overcharged by another circa 6 Euro... Sorry, never more this hotel.
The staff of the hotel was very helpfull and spoke English and German (aside from Czech offcourse). Restaurant was very good and food was delicious. Internet and parking could be cheaper.
Food in restaurant was pretty bad and took very long.
Friendly staff, very comfortable room with air con, free parking. Free internet but many problems with WI-FI connection for low signal.
Very nice hotel, nice personnel, good food. Nothing
Wery best hotel for good price. Excellent food and staff.

Energy storage system converts heat to backup power
A new energy storage technology that provides extended runtimes of lead-acid batteries without the typical shortcomings of these cells has been developed by Active Power, Inc.
A new energy storage technology that provides extended runtimes of lead-acid batteries without the typical shortcomings of these cells has been developed by Active Power, Inc . The manufacturer of battery-free backup power products announced its thermal and compressed air storage (TACAS) technology will be incorporated into its newest offering, CleanSource XR, which will be available as an alpha prototype unit late this year.
CleanSource XR (left) incorporates thermal and compressed air storage technology to provide extended runtimes without the shortcomings of lead-acid batteries. Standard thermal storage unit supplies 15 min. of backup at full power, 2 hours at low power. Rated at 85 kW per system, the unit supports 100 k VA/80 kW UPS system. Output is 360-540 V dc. The product will begin shipping as an alpha unit late this year.
The product stores energy as heat and compressed air. During a utility outage, compressed air is routed through a thermal storage unit to acquire heat energy. Heated air spins a simple turbine-alternator to produce electric power. Air exiting the turbine is below room temperature and can be used to cool the protected load. Tanks that store the compressed air become cold during discharge and absorb ambient heat that can be converted into additional backup power. System also features a small, continuous-duty flywheel that handles small fluctuations in power and, in the event of an extended outage, supports the critical load during the brief period required for the air turbine to reach full speed.
According to Joe Pinkerton, chairman and CEO of Active Power, the product "transforms what customers don't want—heat in their data centers or telecom huts—into the reliable backup power they do want."
TACAS technology is expected to be competitive in cost and footprint with the lead-acid batteries used almost universally in UPS systems, says the manufacturer, but without the HazMat or other environmental issues associated with these cells. The new system will handle the same range of ambient temperatures and step-loads as the company's flywheel-based products, and provide up to 15 min. of backup power at full load. The system can be configured to provide up to several hours of backup power for lighter loads.

Part A
Which of your researched issues do you think is most important? Explain why.
The issue that I researched that I think is the most important to be solved is pollution in our waters. This is because careless people just drop their trash on the ground, which is not only making our community look disgusting but it is hurting animals and creating a stench in our air.
5 Issues in My Community & Top 2:
The five issues within my community include homelessness, underage drinking/smoking, polluted waters, teen pregnancy, and addiction to illegal drugs.
The top two issues I feel are the worst in my community include underage drinking/smoking and pollution in our waters.

bmbm(width = 0) {|job| ...} in Ruby
By: Jeya Emailed: 1747 times Printed: 2431 times
Latest comments
Sometimes benchmark results are skewed because code executed earlier encounters different garbage collection overheads than that run later. bmbm attempts to minimize this effect by running the tests twice, the first time as a rehearsal in order to get the runtime environment stable, the second time for real. GC.start is executed before the start of each of the real timings; the cost of this is not included in the timings. In reality, though, there's only so much that bmbm can do, and the results are not guaranteed to be isolated from garbage collection and other effects.
Because bmbm takes two passes through the tests, it can calculate the required label width.
require 'benchmark' array = (1..1000000).map { rand } Benchmark.bmbm do |x| x.report("sort!") { array.dup.sort! } x.report("sort") { array.dup.sort } end
Rehearsal ----------------------------------------- sort! 11.928000 0.010000 11.938000 ( 12.756000) sort 13.048000 0.020000 13.068000 ( 13.857000) ------------------------------- total: 25.006000sec user system total real sort! 12.959000 0.010000 12.969000 ( 13.793000) sort 12.007000 0.000000 12.007000 ( 12.791000)
bmbm yields a Benchmark::Job object and returns an array of Benchmark::Tms objects.

Comfort Of God's Presence (1 of 5) by Stephen Whitney
This content is part of a series.Comfort Of God's Presence (1 of 5)
Series: Greatness of God
Stephen Whitney
Isaiah 40:1-5
London's Victoria and Albert Museum contains odds and ends collected by Queen Victoria and her husband when they ruled the English empire that circled the globe for 63 during the 1800's.
Massive hand-carved chairs sit next to delicate pieces of porcelain.
Wedged between the thousands of gifts is an unusual plaque that originally hung in a church in London. The plague, with its ornate carving, is displayed in the sculpture wing of the museum. Few people stop to look at the plaque. Even less take time to decipher its Old English script. But those who do take time to read it discover a poignant tale of sorrow and love.
The benefactor commissioned the plaque and had it placed in the chapel to memorialize her sister, Anna Cecilia Rhodes. Anna was born in 1764 and died in 1796 at the age of 32. A life cut short by death is indeed sad. But the last half of Anna's short life was marred by personal pain. When she was just 17, this beautiful
young woman contracted smallpox.
And quoting from the plaque, the disease "stripped off all the bloom of youthful beauty." Her loss of physical beauty was "followed by a dreadful nervous disorder" that "withered those
fair prospects of earthly happiness."
Physical deformity. Emotional heartache. A life cut short by death. One senses the suffering and sadness that seemed to squeeze this younth in its viselike grip. Where do you go for answers when life punches you in the gut and knocks you to your knees? From the ashes of personal tragedy, how can you discover meaning and purpose in life?
We have no direct answer from Anna, but her sister opened her heart in a closing poem to share her source of comfort and hope.
Anna's sister, in spite of her tears, found inner strength through her knowledge of the nature and character of God.
Here are the words she had carved into the bottom of the plaque:

The hot subject in true estate is environmentally friendly residences. Folks are making, obtaining, and remodeling current houses to produce them more power effective, balanced, and have fewer of an effect on the ecosystem. Even though it really is a fairly the latest pattern in housing, it started in professional building greater than 20 years in the past as homeowners looked for strategies to slice rising utility expenditures. The field promptly grew beyond a concern with power to incorporate products, strategies, and items that conserve scarce resources, recycle utilised components, and steer clear of the utilization of toxic ingredients and procedures. As better and less expensive goods and supplies turned accessible, inexperienced or eco-friendly making unfold to residential construction. portland mortgage broker
Environmentally friendly developing is fast turning into the norm for new professional jobs, but it is not obvious what number of homes are actually currently being designed with electrical power preserving and eco-friendly options since the figures still conflate commercial and household marketplaces. In 2006, McGraw Hill Design believed that by this yr green developing would represent 10 per cent of all development and the president in the U.S. Green Making Council (USGBC) explained final April that eco-friendly development had contributed $178 billion to the gross domestic product or service in the earlier eight decades. But in neither case do we know if residential developing signifies 20 per cent or 90 p.c of these figures. There is anecdotal proof, however, that eco-friendly constructing is really a expanding factor in the two new residential development and reworking. For instance, the State of California just enacted the main statewide "green" developing code and 6,five hundred builders have signed on to construct Energy Star approved houses. USGBC's LEED method which initially monitored inexperienced business development now features five levels of certification for housing. We can also think that however significant environmentally friendly residence developing is now, it will get larger; to what diploma remains an unfamiliar.
Thus far there has not been a lot of news about funding environmentally friendly households, partially simply because a special property finance loan might be overkill for a lot of purchases. A great deal of inexperienced setting up simply reflects new technological innovation utilized to outdated goods this sort of as Low-e (low emission) coating on window glass or formaldehyde-free kitchen area cabinets. In which a environmentally friendly house is merely a regular household with eco-friendly functions, a plain vanilla home finance loan will get the job done just good.
However, some environmentally sensitive houses do have funding challenges. A subset of pretty eco-friendly homes these as domes, Yurts, and earth bag houses are expanding in level of popularity but numerous initiatives will not get from the ground as the decided on construction techniques, when legitimate, confound appraisers or scare loan providers. Even normal properties which have one distinctive aspect this sort of to be a geothermal HVAC process or photo voltaic embedded roofing shingles can run afoul of underwriting suggestions. Building financial loans may also be an issue. Believe of most of the regular issues inherent in putting building funding for any one loved ones home and quadruple it when the house is really environmentally friendly. Setting up codes have not but caught up with green technological know-how – it truly is a different 12 months until eventually even California's new regs choose outcome – nor have many of the bank loan officers who should indication off on construction advances.
You will find eco-friendly mortgages available but up to now they aren't widely identified. FHA gives a wrinkle to its 203(b) and 203(k) bank loan pointers that allows recognition with the price tag personal savings of eco-friendly improvements. The Vitality Productive Home finance loan (EEM) application lets the borrower to include the price of some green enhancements within the prime on the permitted home loan with no qualifying with the better personal loan quantity or basing the down payment on it. Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and VA mortgages provide comparable concessions and Power Star, a joint effort from the EPA and Office of Electricity, incorporates a pilot application underway which, additionally on the options on the FHA application, encourages creditors to supply preferential fees, minimized service fees, or decrease closing costs to debtors. You can find caps on nearly all of these EEM packages nonetheless they are still valuable, particularly in which consumers are pushing the limits in their ratios.
It will look that, at present, green home funding has the subsequent qualities:
o The scale on the probable industry is unknown.
o There exists an unmet interest in creative products and solutions in certain sectors.
o Courses are that happen to be available are usually not staying properly marketed and promoted.
o No one seriously understands exactly what is happening.
o Not many individuals are accomplishing something about this.
Feels like the very definition of the possibility. There seems to generally be a necessity for business owners who comprehend what on earth is taking place to choose from plus some fantastic explanations to posture you for a green financing professional.
It really is a fairly empty area of interest. If there are creditors specializing in environmentally friendly financial loans they're undertaking a very poor job of selling. Google environmentally friendly mortgages, inexperienced loan providers, or eco-friendly mortgage loan brokers therefore you will get thousands and thousands of hits though the top types lead to weblogs bemoaning the dearth of environmentally friendly financing or to the Web-sites of home finance loan brokers named Green. USGBC's national eco-friendly listing lists only six financing resources. The Nationwide Association of Realtors delivers members a inexperienced designation, the Mortgage loan Bankers Affiliation isn't going to.
Getting to be the inexperienced property finance loan professional in your area code as well as staking a nationwide assert to your title wouldn't be hard. Very first, study the basic principles of eco-friendly constructing and inexperienced dwelling possession. Almost all of the procedures and terminology are quite very simple and there are actually dozens of publications and Sites to have you commenced. It is actually important that you are accustomed to the underlying principles of eco-friendly building these kinds of as sustainability and, while you ought to be aware of supplies and products and solutions, technological know-how just isn't expected; it's superior to be aware of what a geothermal warmth pumps is but not essential to know how it really works.
Master who the gamers are. LEED, USGBC's Leadership in Environmental Training and Layout program talked about above, is one of the gatekeepers, setting up specifications for inexperienced making and for pros while in the area. Vitality Star has lengthy rated appliances and also other items for energy performance and is now performing a similar for brand new residences. The Nationwide Association of Household Builders is energetic in producing eco-friendly household building specifications as well as the Forest Stewardship Council certifies the sustainability of wood-based building supplies. You might rapidly study about yet another dozen or so companies and companies which might be energetic during the area.
Qualify for present packages this sort of as those people supplied by FHA or perhaps the pilot Electricity Star plan. For anyone who is in a situation to try and do so, establish programs of your have. Speak with your traders about this potentially explosive marketplace and exactly how you may perhaps capitalize on it. If you can acquire a conduit for funding many of the much more excessive developing tactics, you might be described as a marketplace maker. Procedures such as straw bale building possess a extended historical past, are structurally legitimate, and so are rising in level of popularity, but can be mortgage loan orphans.

Auto component companies with a technological edge, global scale advantage or an identified and exploitable niche have better prospects in the current market, says Espirito Santo Securities. It has recommended Balkrishna Industries, Bosch and Motherson Sumi
Auto sales in developed markets are slowly recovering and the worst appears to be over in Europe, with emerging markets still holding up. So, the outlook for auto component exports is improving in India. Further, it is expected that demand from the replacement market will only increase over time. These are the observations of analysts at Espirito Santo Securities on the auto component industry.
Espirito Santo expects that auto component companies with a technological edge, global scale advantage or an identified and exploitable niche have better prospects in the current market. The analysts highlight the following stocks as its picks to play these three themes: Balkrishna Industries, Bosch, and Motherson Sumi.
The global landscape for OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) is becoming increasingly competitive leading them to set up manufacturing facilities in emerging markets like India to take advantage of lower costs. Along with the domestic market, these facilities will also cater to the export market. For instance global OEMs like General Motors, Volkswagen and Ford have manufacturing facilities in India to cater to Indian as well as overseas markets. Hence this is another source of incremental demand for the auto component sector.
The current sluggishness is a cyclical blip in a structural boom, says the brokerage. India has recently crossed the $3,500 per capita income (PPP) consumption threshold, and the exports and replacement market will only support the growth.
On the improving prospects of exports, Espirito Santo observes that as the Indian component players achieve scale and experience they are improving on quality and reducing defect rates which will give growing confidence to US, German and other top auto players to increase imports of parts from India.
According to Espirito Santo, technological edge and a consistent track record of innovation are important in establishing and maintaining a competitive advantage in auto components. However, in the Indian context most firms are just moving up the curve to become globally competitive, and hence innovation and technology will not be the key driver, with the exception of the global firms such as Bosch and Wabco, whose Indian listed entities benefit from the technological edge at the parent level. Bosch is seen as benefiting from a strong technology based competitive advantage, exploiting a dominant share in changing fuel injection technology in India.
The other category to look out for is companies with adequate critical mass that would be difficult to replace in the categories they are present in, and where size is yielding a cost advantage and operating leverage. Also, as demand of global autos recovers these companies should see operating leverage play out in margins. Motherson Sumi is the pick to play the margin improvement trend as global auto sales recover, says Espirito Santo.
A dominant position in a niche category is another area to focus on in the auto component industry, and according to the Espirito Santo, Balkrishna Industries is a small but relevant player in a niche category of Off Highway Tyres (OHT) with limited competition as: it is too small to be a focus area for large global tyre companies; and it has the cost advantage given low cost of Indian plants. The company can sustain superior profitability given the mix of cost arbitrage, distribution and brand strength. It should also benefit from falling prices of the key raw material natural rubber.
The analysts of Espirito Santo have a 'buy' recommendation for the stocks of Bosch, Motherson Sumi and Balkrishna Industries in the Indian stock markets.
Equity Mutual Funds witnessed a heavy outflow of Rs1,665 crore along with a decline of 6 lakh folios in December 2012. All this in the last month of the year when the Sensex closed at 19427, up 25% for CY2012
The year 2012 had been a good year for the markets where the Sensex rose by more than 25%. However, equity mutual funds suffered heavy redemptions over the year. December has been the seventh month in a row where there has been a net outflow from mutual funds. In the last month of 2012, equity mutual funds witnessed an outflow of as much as Rs1,665 crore, as per data from Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI). Sales touched their maximum in the last nine months at Rs4,125 crore, however, a massive redemption of Rs6,008 crore led to a net outflow. Despite good sales, there was a massive reduction in folios of equity schemes and equity linked savings schemes (ELSS). The number of folios declined by a huge 6 lakh from 3.46 crore in November 2012 to 3.40 crore in December 2012 according to data from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
March 2012 and May 2012 were the only two months of CY2012 which witnessed a net inflow of funds. The remaining 10 months witnessed a net outflow as much as Rs15,678 crore, taking the net outflow for CY2012 to Rs15,567 crore. But not only are fund houses faced with heavy redemptions, there has been a massive decline in folios as well. In the nine month period from April 2012 to December 2012, the number of folios has declined by over 36 lakh. Data from Computer Age Management Services (CAMS) also shows that a large portion of Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) were withdrawn before the completion of their tenure. From April 2012 to September 2012 as many as 9.78 lakh SIPs were withdrawn before their tenure. (Read: Mutual fund SIPs decline further. Who is to blame?)
In fact this has not been a recent phenomenon. Moneylife has constantly been writing about the declining investor population. Over the past three years from March 2009 to December 2012 there has been a massive decline of 77 lakh folios. As on 31 March 2009 the number of folios stood at 4.17 crore, but since then there has been a constant reduction in folios and as on 31 December 2012 the number stands at 3.40 crore folios. It would be very unlikely that existing investors would keep investing more and more. The net outflow from 1 April 2009 to 31 December 2012 totalled a massive Rs23,317 crore. In this 45 month period, there were as many as 28 months that witnessed a net outflow.
(Read our earlier articles on the issues faced by the fund industry:
Huge mutual fund outflow points to a much deeper malaise
Retail interest in equity mutual funds is shrinking
Fidelity's exit, a slap on SEBI's face)
It is not that the regulator is not aware of these facts. Just recently it woke up to the declining investor population. However, instead of coming up with policies that are pro-investor, it came up with policies that benefit the asset management companies and punish existing investors. Last year, SEBI came up with the idea of a transaction charge for new and existing investors. However, a majority of the distributors opted out from charging their clients a transaction charge.
Now, after the latest slew of reforms, existing investors would have to bear an increase in costs as mutual fund schemes are allowed to charge an additional expense ratio of upto 30 basis points depending on inflows from the beyond 15 cities. Fund houses are to use this additional revenue to increase their penetration beyond the top 15 cities. However, as the data shows, since the inception of this regulation from 1st October 2012 and up to 31 December 2012, as many as 14 lakh folios have moved out of the industry. In a recent article (Read: Mutual fund regulations: Who contributes the most to equity inflows is overlooked) we showed that independent financial advisors (IFAs) contribute the most to new equity fund inflows especially from beyond 15 cities. Yet the regulator chooses to ignore this 'small' distributor community. In fact the new direct route could do more harm to their business as they would lose existing clients who may opt for the plan with lower expenses.
As per the new reforms, direct plans have been launched to benefit direct investors as it would have a lower expense ratio. However, with no proper advice and handholding it is doubtful whether the new route would be able to attract nascent investors.
It took SEBI three years to realise the ill-effect of banning entry load in August 2009. After which it has come out with a new set of reforms which has yet to have a positive effect on the industry. How much longer would SEBI wait to come out with tougher reforms, we would have to wait and see.
Information commissions are increasingly being lenient in penalising Public Information Officers (PIOs) for not providing information that they should, or being absent at hearings at the information commission. If so, are the information commissioners making PIOs and Appellate Authorities unaccountable?
Pune-based RTI (Right to Information) activist Vijay Kumbhar has triggered off a controversy through his column in the Marathi daily Pudhari that despite information commissioners being empowered to penalise Public Information Officers (PIOs), they do not do so even if they do not provide information to the applicant or remain absent for hearing at the information commission. Kumbhar states, "information commissioners are responsible for the worrying trend of government employees not being serious about the RTI anymore as they are often not held accountable."
He cites two recent decisions of State Information Commissioners in Maharashtra on New Year's Day, as examples. In the first decision, the applicant who had filed a RTI in July 2011 did not get the required reply and the First Appellate Authority (FAA) did not bother to conduct any hearing. This compelled the applicant to file second appeal with the information commission.
However, when the matter was heard at the state information commission, the commissioner merely ordered that information be given within a specific period by the PIO but he did not levy any penalty on the PIO or question the absence of both the PIO and FAA. Says Kumbhar, "in this case, the PIO or FAA did not bother about the RTI application or appeal filed before them. They even did not have the courtesy to attend the hearing of an appeal before the information commission. But the Commission in its order has not dealt with some basic questions like, what was the information the applicant had sought for? What were the reasons behind not furnishing the information by the PIO? Why didn't the appellate authority conduct hearing on the first appeal? Why was the PIO and the appellate authority not present for the hearing before the information commission?" The least the information commissioner could have done, says Kumbhar is to issue a show-cause notice as to why they remained absent.
In the second case, says Kumbhar, the applicant did not receive the information that he had asked for from the PIO but the FAA dismissed his appeal by stating that the required information was provided to him by the PIO and that too,10 months after the applicant had filed his first appeal. During the second appeal hearing, the information commissioner did not go into details as to what information was asked for by the applicant? In such a case, the information commissioner has the power to impose fine on the PIO and reprimand the FAA for conducting the hearing after 10 long months but they were not pulled up. If the information commissioners are so lenient, then why should PIOs bother about applications they receive under RTI?
So, are information commissioners advertently or inadvertently killing the power of the RTI Act? Moneylife asked a cross-section of RTI activists:
RTI activist Maj Gen SCN Jatar (retd)
Information Commissioners cannot afford to be lax: Kumbhar's observations set out in reality how RTI commissioners are set to kill RTI. They do not realise that such decisions are taken as examples of superficiality and laxity in penalising errant PIOs. PIOs are apt to then follow the same methods again and again. The basic criteria that should govern good judgments are a) They should be well-reasoned so that these can be cited in future judgments and ii) they should give a clear message to the errant PIOs that avoiding or evading giving information, which should be in public domain, will not be tolerated. The two cases quoted by Kumbhar do not meet both the above criteria.
Former Central Information Commissioner and RTI activist Shailesh Gandhi
Faster disposal of cases and reasonable threat of penalty required: Most Information Commissioners use the penalty provision as if it was a death penalty to be imposed in the rarest of cases. I do not see any problem with who attends the hearing. The Commissioners should give orders for information irrespective of whether the PIO attends or not. The hearing is an opportunity to present one's views or argue on required matters. If the appellant or PIO does not attend, they may not want the opportunity of hearing. To believe that when either side is not present, a Commissioner must rule in favour of one who is present does not appear correct or desirable.
I had levied 521 penalties totalling Rs.92 lakh in the 20,400 cases which I decided in three years and nine months. The rest of the Central Information Commissioners collectively imposed penalties in about 330 cases in the Commission and had decided about 80,000 cases. There is no doubt that there is a link of penalty imposition with compliance of the law. If cases are decided fast, and there is a fear of penalties, the PIOs and First appellate authorities become more alert and try to meet the requirements of the law. The total cases received by the Central Commission rose by about 50% in a two year period from 2009 to 2011. The cases for Municipal Corporation of Delhi—which I handled throughout my tenure rose by only 15%. This indicates that faster disposal and a reasonable threat of penalties would get better compliance of the law.
RTI activist Subhash Chandra Agrawal
Each order of Information commission should be comprehensive: It is usually observed that generally penalties are not imposed by Information Commissioners thereby making Public Information Officers (PIOs) lethargic towards complying with provisions of the RTI Act. There should be a practice whereby each order of Information Commissions may carry all the relevant dates like filing a RTI petition, reply of PIO, filing first appeal and of appeal-order. There should be auto-calculation of penalty in each verdict of Information Commissions making penal-provisions under Section 20 of the RTI Act mandatory rather than discretionary as at present. Reasons for waiving or reducing applicable penalty should be specifically mentioned in verdicts of Information Commissions. Information Commissions should maintain record of penalties imposed. Non-payment of penalties in specified time should be reported once in a month to Cabinet Secretary/Chief Secretary who should be duty-bound to initiate disciplinary action against defaulting officers apart from taking steps to recover penalty-amounts from salary/pension payable.
RTI activist Commodore Lokesh Batra (retd)
Applicants should be innovative, interactive with PIOs: Every applicant must realise that it is only after the RTI Act that citizens have become participative in governance. RTI has given us a chance to be an integral part of public accountability so we should not take an adverse stance against PIOs as far as possible. Every RTI applicant should make untiring efforts not to take the case up to the Information commission level as he or she would face inordinate delays, even up to two years. I use innovative methods to interact with the PIOs to extract information in case they hesitate to provide it. Today, I have developed good relations with many public authorities and they sometimes call me for suggestions or advice. Also, after the 2G scam it has been observed that every single reply under RTI at least in the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) goes to the top bureaucrat so what is the use of blaming or penalising PIOs who are at the mercy of their bosses? Also, in the information commissions, it is the bureaucrats who create more hurdles than the information commissioners themselves.
Researcher and RTI activist Venkatesh Nayak
Public Authorities should take implementation of RTI Act seriously: I agree that to make government employees take RTI seriously PIOs should be penalised but that is just one of the solutions. Penalty cannot be the only deterrent as much as vigilance by higher authorities can be. It is the responsibility of public authorities to clearly push for policy of transparency and that should be visible in action and not by merely issuing paper orders. Serious implementation of RTI cannot be only a PIO's headache. The top brass of every public authority should regularly monitor and be vigilant about transparency. Mechanisms to check it should work efficiently and should be given top priority. Targets should be set for accountability. Every office has a Monthly Monitoring Report (MMR). It is also called the Monthly Progressive Implementation Calendar in Karnataka. It requires reporting physical and financial progress to superiors who in turn give guidance on the basis of the report. There should also be scrutiny at the highest level, which is legislature. Such professional monitoring has not been seen for RTI. It is only when the government employees know that someone is seriously watching over them, that everyone down the line will take RTI seriously. Perhaps some incentives like increased funding or an award to the Public Authority which implements RTI diligently could help.

In most developed nations around the world, public health is something we take for granted. While the services and policies of public health organizations may vary significantly from country to country, the premise behind a public health system is fairly standard. Public health systems strive to ensure that the community they serve has access to required health resources and that threats to the health of the public are monitored and prevented.
Most of us understand this basic premise about public health. But, here are some facts about public health you might not know. Now's a good time to test yourself on your knowledge of how public health systems work.

Lamb Shepherd's Pie Recipe
This is what I call "comfort food". My grandmother used to make it.
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- Dash pepper
- 1/2 pound lamb stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
- 1-1/2 cups beef broth or water
- 1 bay leaf
- 4 to 8 frozen pearl onions
- 1 cup frozen cut green beans
- 1 medium carrot, sliced
- 1 cup mashed potatoes (with added milk and butter)
- 1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour and pepper. Add lamb, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat.
- 2. In a nonstick skillet, brown lamb in batches in oil over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add the tomato sauce, broth and bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour. Add the onions, beans and carrot; cover and cook 20-30 minutes longer or until meat and vegetables are tender. Discard bay leaf.
- 3. Transfer stew to a greased 5-cup baking dish. Pipe or spoon mash potatoes around edges. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 13-15 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown. Yield: 2 servings.

i completed all 13 manager tasks and it is not giving me the gold pack for completing all of the manager tasks. what do i do?
I just had the same problem. I deleted my first team and started new. Once I completed the manager tasks it told me a gold pack was waiting in the store, but there is no pack there. Is there a solution for this problem?
11-23-2013 05:53 AM - edited 11-23-2013 05:54 AM
I think it only applies to your first ultimate team at the moment- I suffered the same problem. I don't know whether or not EA will fix this problem but what I DO know is that this issue hasn't been fixed or only applies to your first team.
I have a suggestion in regards to this problem:
Suggestion 1
1- Make a new Xbox Live/PSN account. (If on PC skip to step 2.)
2- Transfer your membership to that account(if on xbox), or make a new origin account (PS3/PC).
3- Start FIFA 14, and create a new ultimate team.
4- Complete the manager tasks as normal, and you should (hopefully) get your gold pack.
Hope this helps.
