The "Skillet" people were recently featured on "Eat St." - a show about food trucks.
Their site tells you that their recipes can be duplicated either using their bacon spread/jam or "you can make your own" - but no recipe for the bacon jam (understandable - they sell it mail order).
A Google search yields:
I think I am going to experiment with the last site first; but since they all have bacon as the prime ingredient how can you go wrong?

Pete - much better than i deserve!

WHEN: 7:30 p.m., Monday
WHERE: Mercedes-Benz Superdome
RADIO: WWL-AM, 870 in New Orleans; WDGL-FM, 98.1 in Baton Rouge; KMDL-FM, 97.3 in Lafayette
RECORDS: Ravens are 6-4; Saints are 4-6.
LAST WEEK: Baltimore was enjoying their off week, giving them 16 days to prepare for the Saints, who have lost their past two games, both of which were at home. The Saints defense allowed the Bengals (6-3-1) to convert 9-of-13 on third-down situations. The Saints offense scored only one touchdown out of three trips inside Cincinnati's 20-yard line before losing 27-10.
COACHES: Ravens, John Harbaugh, seventh season (68-38); Saints, Sean Payton, eighth season (77-45)
(League rank in parentheses)
Total yards: Saints, 424.5 (2nd); Ravens, 364.8 (12th)
Rushing: Saints, 124.7 (8th); Ravens, 124.1 (10th)
Passing: Saints, 299.8 (3rd); Ravens, 240.7 (16th)

Total yards: Saints, 369.9 (20th); Ravens, 335.7 (11th)
Rushing: Saints, 114.7 (T-19th); Ravens, 84.5 (5th)
Passing: Saints, 255.2 (24th); Ravens, 251.2 (21st)
Points: Saints, 25.2 (21st); Ravens, 18.1 (5th)
Ravens: Quarterback Joe Flacco, running back Justin Forsett, wide receiver Steve Smith, tight end Owen Daniels, linebacker Elvis Dumervil, linebcker Terrell Suggs, linebacker C.J. Mosley, defensive tackle Haloti Ngata
Saints: Quarterback Drew Brees, running back Mark Ingram, tight end Jimmy Graham, wide receiver Marques Colston, linebcker Curtis Lofton, safety Kenny Vaccaro, cornerback Keenan Lewis
Offense: Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco's favorite target this year has been a familiar nemesis for the Saints: veteran wide receiver Steve Smith (49 grabs for 728 yards and four touchdowns), who played for NFC South rival Carolina from 2001-2013.
Flacco has thrown for 2,521 yards, 17 touchdowns and eight interceptions on 219-of-351 passing (62.4 percent).
Baltimore receiver Torrey Smith (27 catches for 446 yards and six touchdowns) will also test a Saints secondary that lost starting safety Rafael Bush in the loss to Cincinnati and had star cornerback Keenan Lewis limited to 10 snaps because of a knee injury he suffered in a Nov. 9 defeat to San Francisco.
On the ground, running back Justin Forsett leads the Ravens with 173 carries for five touchdowns and 721 yards, which is seventh-best in the NFL.
Rookie Lorenzo Taliaferro is a goal-line threat: Each of his four rushing touchdowns have been from 10 yards or closer, and two have been from the 1.
Defense: An obvious test for those in charge of protecting Saints quarterback Drew Brees will be Ravens linebacker Elvis Dumervil. The three-time Pro Bowler is tied for second in the NFL with 10.5 quarterback sacks.
That's not all, though. Among other threats the Ravens' front pose is defensive tackle Haloti Ngata, who has batted down seven throws, intercepted two passes and forced two fumbles, impressive disruption for a player at his position.
Special teams: Ravens kicker Justin Tucker is among the best at his position in the NFL. He is 16-of-16 on field goals under 49 yards and 3-of-6 on kicks of 50 or more yards, with a long of 53 yards. His career longest field goal was a 61-yarder last season against the Lions.
In the return game, the Ravens' Jacoby Jones has the longest kickoff return in the league this year: a 108-yard touchdown. The New Orleans native and former Abramson High School star is second in the NFL, averaging 31.7 yards on kickoffs. He will test the Saints, though he has lost two fumbles this year.
-- Call it the return of the Saints killer. Steve Smith is set to face the Saints a 24th time in his career, during which he's caught 99 passes for 1,493 yards and 10 touchdowns. The Saints lead their head-to-head series against Smith 12-11 and will try to prevent him from tying it up.
-- If Drew Brees can lead the Saints to victory over Baltimore, he will have beaten every team in the NFL at least once. Brees has lost his three career starts against the Ravens, two of which have been with the Saints (in New Orleans in 2006 and in Baltimore in 2010).
-- Weekly connections between members of opposing NFL franchises are almost innumerable, but here's one of interest for Monday.Having tried but failing to make the Saints in 2009 and 2010, Ravens cornerback Danny Gorrer is gearing up to face New Orleans a second time this season.
Gorrer spent an early portion of this season with Detroit and registered a tackle and a holding penalty during 30 snaps on defense when the Lions beat the Saints on Oct. 19.
However, Gorrer fell out of favor with the Lions' coaching staff and was waived Nov. 3.
The Ravens claimed him off the waiver wire the next day, and he intercepted ex-LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger in a 21-7 win over Tennessee on Nov. 9.

A man's hands are expected to be rough. Rough from hours of hard man work. Hours of mowing the lawn. Hours of chopping wood for the fire. Hours of building that piece of furniture for your family room. Hours of just being manly.
But what about the man who has let his hands get too soft? The man who is still manly, but doesn't mind the occasional delegation of labor. The guy who still does work, just from his desk, instead of in the garage. The man who uses gloves for golf because, let's be honest, getting callous' can be a painful process.
No, I'm not talking about myself; I'm talking about you, That Guy.

Modern Issues
Disease: Malaria
Malaria is cause by blood parasites. It comes from being bitten by infected mosquitoes. This can be transferred from person to person as well. The female Anopheles mosquito is the only on that transmits this disease. This mosquito usually bites between the hours of 9 pm and 5 am. There are more than 100 species of malaria parasites, the most common in Africa is the Plasmodium falciparum. Once this parasite enters the body, it gets itself into the liver where it multiplies approximately 10,000 times. About two weeks after the parasite enters the body, it burts into the blood stream where it begins infecting the red blood cells.
Malaria Facts
-85% of malaria deaths occur in children under 5 years of age.
-Every 30 seconds a child dies from malaria.
-People living with HIV/AIDS have a higher chance of getting malaria than those who are not.
-The symptoms begin 10 days to 4 weeks after infection but you can feel ill as early as 7 days after.
-Include fever, headache chills, sweats, fatigue, nausea, and vomiting.
Malaria is treated by medication. It all depends on the severity of the case, your age, the type of parasite, and if you are pregnant.
-The most common antimalarial drugs are:
- Chloroquine (Aralen)
- Quinine sulfate (Qualaquin)
- Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil)
- Mefloquine
- Combination of atovaquone and proguanil (Malarone)

two guys have expressed an interest in dating me and I don't know which one to pick.
one is a friend of a friend. I don't know him very well but from what I can tell we have a lot in common. we like the same type of movies, bands, and have the same type of hobbies. he's very smart and seems fun, down to earth, and free spirited. but he can be a bit of a playboy and has had a bunch of one night stands. I heard that when he's with a girl for real he's committed, though. I think he's very attractive.
the other guy is a friend. we have some stuff in common but on the surface we like totally different things. but he and I can stay up talking for hours about lots of weird subjects. he's also very smart but in a nerdy way that often goes over my head (he's actually a rocket scientist). he doesn't do one night stands and has only had serious relationships. he's really nice when it's just him and me but with other people he can turn into a jerk or ignore me completely. I think he's average looking.
Most Helpful Guy
It depends on what you're looking for in a relationship. On one hand, you have all the right reasons you would have the time of your life, but risk being potentially used, by the "player"... On the other, you know that this other guy is a good friend and that you can already communicate with him, which is a strong plus for the foundation of a relationship. Not to mention that you have a better background/understanding of your friend.
If you are looking for anything short term - like a spring fling, cuddle buddy, or simply you're just looking for a fun time (non-sexually / sexually) - then I would say that the "player" would fit your needs better.
If you're wanting to settle down and get away from the bullsh*t - maybe the friend is the right choice. Like I mentioned above, it's significantly important to me to have a personal understanding of someones background.. Basically, a way for me to connect and see if they are real with who they present themselves to be.
Though my gut tells me that neither of these guys are really you're cup of tea. It's a hard choice from my shoes, but then again, I don't really know you or what you're about. The ultimate decision must come from the person that knows you best, yourself. Only you can say what you would enjoy or could possibly try even if there may be risks/consequences associated with it. I guess you don't have to decide which one to go for, more so than you have to decide which one is worth it.

Supervisor: Dr Paul Chapple - Centre for Endocrinology, William Harvey Research Institute
Co-Supervisor: Dr Greg Michael - Centre for Neuroscience, Institute of Cell and Molecular Science
A graduate with an interest in molecular neuroscience with at least an upper second class BSc(Hons) or a lower second class BSc(Hons) with an MSc is required for this project.
There are a number of regions of homology between sacsin's predicted amino acid sequence and proteins of known function.
Of particular interest is homology to molecular chaperone proteins. Numerous neurodegenerative diseases, including ataxias, Huntington's and Alzheimer's disease, are characterised by aberrant protein folding.
Molecular chaperones are important in these disorders as they play an important role in the cellular response to aberrantly folded proteins.
This PhD studentship will investigate the function of sacsin by defining its cellular localisation and identifying proteins with which it interacts.
These studies will involve a range of neuroanatomical and molecular cell biology techniques including confocal microscopy and yeast genetic screens.
The student will be based in the Centre for Endocrinology which is located in new offices and laboratories within the John Vane Science Centre, Charterhouse Square, London.
They will also use facilities in the Centre for Neuroscience which is located in the Blizard building at the School's Whitechapel campus.
The student will have access to a wide variety of cutting-edge technologies and core facilities, as well as interaction with researchers across many areas of biomedicine.
For an informal discussion, please contact the lead project supervisor:
Dr Paul Chapple - Email: email@example.com
http://www.qmul.ac.uk/postgraduate/apply/index.html and return to Helena Tkalez - email: firstname.lastname@example.com with a copy to the lead project supervisor.
This studentship is funded by the Royal London & St Bartholomew's Charitable Foundation and comes with a tax free stipend of £14350.00 per annum.
Home/EU tuition fees will be paid by the Charitable Foundation. Non EU applicants will have to fund the difference between home and overseas tuition fees themselves, approximately £8000.00 per annum for a minimum of three years.

Fiji cleans up after 'strongest ever' cyclone
Fiji began a massive clean-up on Sunday after the most powerful cyclone in the Pacific island nation's history left a trail of destruction, killing at least one person and crippling vital infrastructure.
The category five super-storm lashed the popular tourist destination overnight Saturday, packing wind gusts approaching 300 kilometres (185 miles) per hour, according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center.
Officials confirmed one man died on Koro Island, reportedly from debris sent flying during severe tropical cyclone Winston, the first-ever storm system to hit Fiji measuring a maximum category five. The Red Cross said there were unconfirmed reports of three more fatalities, while the Fiji Broadcasting Corporation put the death toll at five.
But aid agencies admitted they simply had no idea about the full extent of the destruction, as Fijians shared pictures on social media of roofless houses, flooded streets and metal signposts bent over by the wild winds.
Save the Children Fiji chief Iris Low-McKenzie said it was too early to assess the impact on outlying islands, although unconfirmed reports said thousands of homes had been destroyed and entire villages flattened.
"I'm especially concerned about the remote communities in outlying areas that we haven't been able to contact yet," she said.
"Until communications are re-established and assess the damage, we won't know the full extent of situation."
Suva escaped the full fury of the storm but Low-McKenzie said it was still a terrifying experience. "I've never experienced anything like this," she said. "The noise was frightening as roofs were blown off homes and trees were ripped out by their roots."
Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama said the storm amounted to an "assault on Fiji", an impoverished nation of about 900,000 heavily reliant on its tourism industry.
"It is being described as one of the most powerful in recorded history… as a nation, we are facing an ordeal of the most grievous kind," he said in a national address late Saturday. Bainimarama declared a state of natural disaster, to remain in place for one month, and the government imposed a curfew "to ensure the safety of all Fijians".
All schools, many of which are being used as evacuation centres, were ordered closed for one week.
Many residents spent the night huddled in the shelters, where they were given food and water.
Falling trees cut power and blocked roads on the main island of Viti Levu, where all flights were cancelled as high winds buffeted Nadi international airport.
Suva resident Danny Southcombe said while the capital escaped the brunt of the storm, it was still brought to a standstill.
"It's pretty calm now but when I look around all I can see is trees on the road," he told AFP.
The military cancelled all leave and mobilised troops for the relief effort.
New Zealand led the international response, sending P-3 Orion aircraft to help assess damage in remote communities, while Australia's Foreign Minister Julie Bishop offered to do the same. The acting head of the Red Cross' Pacific office Ahmad Sami said an accurate gauge of the storm's impact would take time.
"We anticipate that humanitarian needs will be very high," he told AFP.
"This is the first time that Fiji has experienced a cyclone of this magnitude in their history, a category five, so we're still trying to find out the figures."
He said priorities were restoring power and repairing damaged homes, as well as maintaining drinking water supplies in more than 700 evacuation centres.

Trade policy responses to food price rises and implications for existing domestic support measures: the case of China in 2008
Existing literature on the 2007/8 food price crisis focuses on the causes and poverty and hunger consequences of the crisis and seems to be less concerned with the interactions of different policy measures applied by governments. As such, the relative effectiveness, interactions and costs of these policy actions are often not satisfactorily explored. This paper provides a first preliminary quantitative assessment on the individual and joint effects of China's short term trade policy actions and existing domestic support measures on domestic market prices, outputs, trade flows and farm income, using a global CGE model characterized with detailed and up-to-date policy information for China in the year of 2008. A series of interesting results emerge from our simulations. First, China's agricultural outputs for many products are estimated to be boosted by up to 1.8 percentage by all the policy interventions combined, indicating that the extra domestic support in 2008 (relative to the pre-crisis level) is able to compensate for the lowered outputs due to the short term trade policy measures. The most stringent export restriction placed on wheat, however, reduces agricultural incentive so much that the observed domestic support measure is not able to compensate the lost domestic production. Second, while both the short term trade policy measures and existing domestic measures are able to reduce domestic market price, roughly two-thirds of the price reductions are due to the increased spending on the domestic measures. Third, the domestic market price reduction effects of the observed policy measures are shown to be large and significant, relative to the observed agriculture and food price indexes in China in 2008. Lastly, while China seems to be quite successful in tackling the food price inflation issue using a combination of policy measures, the fiscal and efficiency costs are not negligible, especially if one considers the extra government spending on the input subsidies necessitated by the insulating trade and border policy measures.

DNC Chairman: Harry Reid Apologized for Giving Obama a Compliment
Filed Under Politics | 3 Comments
Democrats continue to try to dig Harry Reid out of a hole over his remarks about Obama's whiteness instead of just shutting up and letting it blow over. Now it's getting predictably funny.
The latest is DNC Chair Tim Kaine, who told Fox News Sunday (Dems were avoiding Fox News like the plague until they realized it's the only cable news net that anybody watches) that Reid was actually paying Obama a compliment:
Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine defended Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D – NV) on Fox News Sunday (video below) over controversial comments Mr. Reid made about President Barack Obama on the 2008 campaign trail. Mr. Kaine explained that Senator Reid's remarks, taken in context, were actually "positive" in nature and that the Nevada Senator was really praising Mr. Obama.
Sure Mr. Kaine, people apologize for "compliments" they pay to other people all the time. It could be considered a compliment I suppose, in a "for a fat chick you don't sweat very much" kind of way, but I wouldn't count on many people agreeing.
Where's the black "leadership" denouncing Reid the way they would be if Mitch McConnell or any other Republican had said what Reid said? Tim Kaine certainly wouldn't be referring to it as a "compliment" if that were the case.
I don't know what the Democrats are worried about anyway. It's not like minorities are going to defect to the GOP in droves over this — I don't even know what it would take for that to happen. Democrats accepted the apology of Sen. Robert Byrd, a former Klansman who is third in line to the presidency, so they'll accept Reid's apology so Harry can get back to the important business of telling everybody how racist Republicans are:

Good thing he didn't say, "He's got a funny name." or "He doesn't look like the other presidents." This is absolutely outrageous! WHY are "Rev" Al Sharpton and "Rev" I-fathered-an-illegitimate-child Jesse Jackson and the other race baiters all over this crap? It makes me wonder if a Democrat could get away with actually saying the word "nigger" in the nicest possible way. Robert Byrd must be proud of Harry Reid.

Anyone embracing the comments of senator Reids as a compliments is a racist.
I was totally taken back when the President himself during a recent interview, referring to Senator Reid, said:"the man was paying me a compliment". Did he mean to imply that to be "light skin" makes him a better man than if he was "dark skin" ?

A visit to VTU,
Blogs can do wonders if they convey the right information. I write this one to aid all those who brave the journey to VTU. If you are in search of information regarding the issue of Official transcripts by VTU or attestation of Degree Certificate by The Registrar ( Evaluation ), VTU , you have hit bull's eye.
I planned to apply for MS in US ( as do most souls in
Most of my friends who were applying for MS felt comfortable enough to apply for the University official transcripts by post.I, on the other hand, took this opportunity as a trip.
I took a bus ( Rajahamsa Executive ) from Majestic bound for Belgaum(ಬೆಳಗಾವಿ).This was in June when the South West Monsoon had entered the land. I reached
En-route I noted the changing landscape and stark contrast of the hustle of Belgaum city center and the rustic outskirts.The bus passed through College Road, Gogte Circle off Railway station, Khanapur Road ( Tilakwadi), Khanapur road (Udhyambag), Peeranwadi, Jamboti Road and finally after beautiful 40 minutes the entrance arch of VTU welcomed me.
The sight of a lone Bank of Mysore ( Timings -> ) with an attached ATM lifted my spirits. But I had already enquired before-hand and I had taken the necessary D.D.s with me.The D.D. details are as follows: I had applied for 14 official transcripts. Hence the D.D. amount came to 2200/- ( (1* 250) + (13*150)=2200 ). I also needed the attestation of Registrar V.T.U ( Evaluation) on 10 photocopies of my Degree Certificate.So I had a separate D.D. worth 1750/- ( 10*175=1750). The D.D.s are payable at
Along with the D.D.s I was asked to submit one set of photocopies of the 1st to 8th sem marks cards ( principal attestation on these not required).
If there are any documents to be attested we need to take them ourselves. In my case, I took 10 photocopies with me and was asked to submit the same with the 1750/- D.D.
Things to Note: If all the necessary documents are submitted before , then the official transcripts and the attested documents will be given on the same working day.If the documents are submitted by the student after , then the transcripts will be issued on the next working day. Also , second saturday of the month is a holiday.
The office opened at . I was the first in line to apply. I submitted all the required documents.I was told to collect the transcripts at .
Meanwhile I whiled away the time in the University campus. I had a novel ( "Five Days In Summer" by Kate Pepper) with me which I managed to finish reading by . Then I went around the campus and was surprised to see three rocket models ( PSLV, GSLV-D2 and GSLV- MK-III) juxtaposed near a pathway.Wonder why they are there ? VTU campus has MBA and M-Tech classes. I never knew that before.
I was fortunate to receive my transcripts at on the same day ( friday the 13th ).I took a bus ( Rajahamsa Exec ) back to
Before you decide to venture to VTU,

As if the jury deciding the Oracle v. Google trial didn't have enough on its plate already.
Deliberations were interrupted Tuesday when the 10-member panel ran into technical problems trying to review evidence from the case given to them on a PC.
The jurors apparently wanted to look at some of the source code for Google's Android OS and couldn't get the large files to open.
"You lawyers should not have done this to the jury; you should have tested it out yourselves," an irritated Judge William Alsup told lawyers for the two sides, who huddled with the court's IT specialist to try to figure out the problem.
The IT person seemed momentarily flummoxed that the jury would want to look at source code until the judge told him it was central to the trial.
"You all have sabotaged the system so bad I don't know what to do," Alsup told the lawyers at one point, threatening to make them print out the millions of lines of code on paper.
In the end, the lawyers wrote some instructions for the jury telling them how to open the files.
Deliberations in the case began Monday after lawyers for the two sides gave their closing arguments. The jury has to decide whether Google's use of Java in Android was protected under the "fair use" exemption in copyright law, or whether Google needed a license from Sun -- now owned by Oracle.
If the jury decides Google's use of Java was fair, the case is over -- pending a likely appeal by Oracle. If they decide it was not, the trial moves to a second phase to calculate damages.
The jurors meet at the San Francisco federal court from early morning until 1 p.m. each day, and they can review evidence from the trial to help them with their task. After the computer problems Tuesday, they broke for the day without a decision. It's not known how long they'll take, but it could be a few more days.
The jury can also submit questions to the judge, and they had a few for him on Thursday, leading to more tension between Alsup and the lawyers.
The jury wanted to know if they could take their hand-written notes from the trial home to review in the evening. Oracle was fine with that, but Google's lawyers said the jury ought to deliberate as a whole.
The judge didn't like that. "It's not even evidence, it's just their handwritten notes," he snapped. "I'm very suspicious -- you must think you're gonna lose this case."
"No, your honor," Google's lawyer said, but stuck to her position.
"This is one of the best juries in the history of our courthouse," Alsup said. "They're not going to deliberate with someone else; that's a fallacious argument."
The jury also wanted to know if individual members can review evidence alone if they arrive at the court early or stay late, and if they can take home with them instructions given to them by the court.
Neither side wanted to grant those requests, and Alsup again grew irritated.
"It's up the jury how they decide this case," he told the lawyers.
In the end, he asked both sides to put their objections in writing by midnight. For the time being, all three jury requests were denied.

The best way to deal with an error 53 problem? Go to a reputable repair company for your cracked iPhone screen and you won't have to worry about it.
The Guardian broke a story a about Apple a few days ago. It was about a software update that will make iPhone's with a replaced home button no longer work at all (frequently referred to as a "bricked iPhone"). From the article:
It's the message that spells doom and will render your handset worthless if it's been repaired by a third party. But there's no warning and no fix.
But this quote from the article is EXTREMELY MISLEADING because the statement is incomplete. In particular, here's what it should say:
It's the message that spells doom and will render your handset worthless if it's [home button has been replaced by a third party that messed up a screen repair and ripped your home button cable].
Having a competent and qualified repair company fix your iPhone 6 will not cause this error 53 problem. However, if the repair company you use isn't great at what they do (or if you try to do a repair yourself), the home button cable may end up getting torn.
The most common iPhone repair is a cracked glass. To replace the screen on an iPhone 5S and above, you need to move the original home button on the cracked iPhone screen to the new screen. But that home button and its associated cable are adhered to the front glass.
Attempting to just pull that home button off can be dangerous and is likely to lead to a ripped home button cable. This is what causes the error 53 problem.
At Jet City Device Repair, we use a special hot plate to heat the home button just enough to loosen the adhesive holding it on the broken glass. This makes it very easy to remove without tearing. By using the proper temperature it causes no damage to the home button (this is hard to do if the repair person uses a heat gun instead of a temperature controlled hot plate).
We have replaced 1000's of cracked iPhone 6 screens (and fixed over 100,000 Apple devices in the past couple of years). The error 53 issue is not a problem for our customers – even after they update.
The best way to deal with this error 53 problem? Go to a reputable repair company for your cracked iPhone screen and you won't have to worry about it in the first place.

Gold Analysis 16 April , 2015
Gold markets rose during the course of the day on Wednesday, breaking above the $1200 level during the American session. With that being the case, we feel that the market is probably heading to the $1220 level, which has been the top of the consolidation area for some time. Because of this, we believe that the market will ultimately paying around in this consolidation in the short-term, but may eventually break out to the upside. If we get that move, we would hang onto any long we would be involved in at the moment. However, we recognize that the market will continue to be very choppy.

Robert Pinkas, Tab Keplinger and Brantley Capital Management (BCM) have been charged "with securities fraud for overvaluing assets in an investment portfolio they manage in order to generate higher investment advisory fees," according to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC alleges that BCM, Pinkas and Keplinger "substantially overstated the value of equity and debt investments in two failing private companies," one of which was fractional-share operator Flight Options International (FOI), which "was consistently losing millions of dollars." Pinkas, managing general partner of Brantley Partners, said, "The SEC's conclusions are baseless…we had three outside valuations that confirmed our judgments. It is unfortunate and unfair that after years of investigation punctuated by long periods of dormancy, the SEC has now chosen to launch this action against me and BCM because of… two unsuccessful investments in one fund that had ten other successful investments. Even though FOI was unsuccessful for BCC, FOI is profitable and continues to be one of the leaders in its industry." Keplinger elected to settle with the SEC and pay a $50,000 penalty. Brantley Partners is not financially involved with FOI.

Time was, not too long ago, when you could only invest in a 'plain vanilla' equity fund that carried a straightforward mandate to invest in stocks and generate superior returns. Or, you could look at bonds that invested in fixed-income instruments to preserve the original capital.
Today, with more than 1,200 mutual fund schemes to choose from, Indian investors are awash with choices—from funds that invest in index options to ones with themes such as lifestyle, infrastructure or capital preservation.
But, have these innovations really paid off for investors? Using data provided by Value Research, Mint took a close look at the funds. Here are some broad findings:
Does it pay to be a contrarian?
Contra funds make money by adopting a contrarian strategy. Instead of going with the herd mentality of buying certain popular stocks, contrarian fund managers identify out-of-favour stocks, or those that are expected to perform better in the long run. In other words, these funds try to take advantage of the seemingly irrational behaviour of investors in certain stocks and sectors.
In a contrarian strategy, the fund manager often takes a call completely different from where the market is heading. For instance, if everyone is buying real-estate stocks because of high growth expectations, a contrarian fund invests in some other sector. Or bets against the sector by not investing in it for the present.
Since the success of SBI Mutual Fund's Magnum Contra, five mutual fund companies have launched their own versions of contrarian funds in the Indian market. Today, they collectively manage assets worth Rs2,700 crore.
The strategy, however, doesn't seem to have yielded good returns for the investor. In the past one year, three funds have posted negative returns against the Sensex or the Nifty. At a time when the overall market has gone up, contrarian fund investors haven't seen any appreciation in their investments. Even between June 2006 and February 2007, when the markets went up sharply, or during the sharp downturn between February and March this year, contrarian funds didn't do as well as expected. Among them, Magnum Contra and DBS Chola were two of the better-performing funds. The Magnum Contra scheme has performed well across time periods. "The fund has changed its focus from mid-cap to large-cap stocks. Moreover, our contrarian calls on the engineering sector last year worked in our favour," says Sanjay Sinha, chief investment officer, State Bank of India. But the fund's heavy exposure to the construction sector, one of the better performing sectors, during 2006 makes it look less like a contrarian fund.
"While some, and not all the contra funds, have been taking contrarian calls, the strategy hasn't produced great returns for investors," says Dhirendra Kumar, chief executive officer of Value Research.
R. Rajagopal, head of equities at DBS Chola Mutual Fund, however, argues that because of the very nature of a contrarian fund, which buys underperforming stocks, the returns come slowly. But these deliver better returns over a longer period of time, he says. "Contrarian funds can play a supplementary role in a fund portfolio," he adds.
As of now, most contrarian funds in India have their bets laid on energy, technology and health-care stocks.
Did multi-cap management work?
As mutual funds found themselves straitjacketed into being large-caps or mid-caps, a multi-cap variant was introduced to invest and reshuffle the portfolio between large-, mid- or small-cap stocks, but within a certain limit.
So, unlike other equity funds, these have the flexibility to take advantage of the upside potential in the stocks across market-capitalization. For instance, as the stocks of companies with mid- or small-market capitalization haven't been performing well, these multi-cap funds have tilted their exposure to large-cap stocks in the past few months.
But, despite a seemingly broader mandate, multi-cap funds have performed just as well or badly as the broader market or other diversified equity funds. While mid-cap stocks have been outperforming large caps for a long time, the trend reversed in the past one year. As a result, even these multi-cap funds have considerably reduced their exposure to mid-cap stocks in the past year.
With its mediocre performance (see table), the Franklin India Flexi Cap fund stands out in this category: It may not have gained as much in a rising market, but in a falling market, it hasn't lost as much as its peers.
The fund has followed a disciplined strategy of restricting exposure to mid-cap stocks to around 28-30% on average.
"Considering the fluctuating performance of large- and mid-cap stocks, I would recommend a multi-cap fund as compared to a pure large-cap or a pure mid-cap fund. Multi-caps are in a better position to take advantage of the ups and downs in stocks across market-caps," says Kumar.
How good is the idea to lock the money in three or five years?
Ever since mutual funds were stopped from charging expenses related to the launch of a new scheme, there has been a mad rush for closed-end equities, as these were allowed to levy such initial issue expenses from investors. As many as 11 equity funds have already been launched in 2007 alone, in addition to the 13 last year.
These funds are closed-end because investors cannot withdraw money before a certain period—usually three or five years. The rationale behind this strategy is that these funds can take a long-term view while investing as they don't face frequent redemptions from investors. Kumar, however, says he believes these funds don't offer any particular benefits. "If the lock-in is the reason for a superior performance, then tax-saving equity funds, which, by default, have a three-year lock-in period, should have done exceedingly well compared to a diversified equity fund," he says.
Tax-planning equity funds, which are similar to diversified equity funds in their nature, posted a 38% return in the past five years compared with the latter's 40% figure for the same period. "I don't associate any specific performance attributes to these funds. This concept can only work well if the fund is investing in mid- and small-sized companies," says Dhruva Chaterjee, an analyst with Lipper, which tracks the industry.
Although most closed-end equity funds are new and don't even have a one-year track record, their performance during sharp market swings has been as good as that of open-ended diversified equity fund. For instance, UTI's Wealth Builder Fund, among the best performers in the past six months, posted superior returns compared with the other open-end equity funds from the UTI family. But these had an equally bad run during the volatile time between February and March this year.
While most of these funds just invest in stocks, some have a different mandate. For instance, Franklin India Smaller Companies Fund, one of the first to be launched in this space, has had a rough patch so far. In the past one year, it has lost 6%.
The fund's mandate is to invest in small-cap firms, which have been underperformers in the market.
Or, take the Standard Chartered Enterprise Equity Fund, a Rs1,500 crore fund launched as an initial public offering (IPO) fund. It was to invest in IPOs of companies and earn returns by selling these IPOs on listing. However, since the IPO pipeline dry up, it has been investing in blue-chip stocks to generate returns.
Did arbitrage work?
With Rs3,000 crore of aggregate assets, the nine arbitrage funds have done exceptionally well in the market. These attempt to earn returns by investing 70-80% in stocks that have a price differential between the cash and futures market. If there aren't enough arbitrage opportunities, then these funds also have the flexibility to park the money in debt instruments or cash.
Arbitrage funds do invest in equity-linked instruments, but they don't aim to generate equity-like returns.
They aim to provide returns better than a bond or an income fund. In that sense, these have lived up to their expectations: On an average, these funds have posted around 80% returns in the 52 weeks ended 8 May. This is well above the returns posted by a long-term, short-term or even cash fund.
Does hedging help?
Reliance Equity and Tata Equity Management Fund are two prominent funds in this category that promise to use hedging strategies to generate returns. These aim to be less volatile in a falling market as they can sell stocks in anticipation of a downward trend. This strategy seems to have worked well during the bad times. During the last two volatile periods of May 2006 and February 2007, the two funds fell by only 23% and 12%, respectively. In fact, Reliance Equity was among the 10 funds that lost the least in this period. Also, its one-year return of 9% is much above the category average of 2.80%.
However, investors don't seem to be happy with their performance during good times.
"After all, the fund promised to work in all market conditions," says Hemant Rustogi, chief executive officer, Wiseinvest Advisors Pvt. Ltd, a Mumbai-based mutual fund advisory firm. During the run-up from June 2006 to February 2007, Reliance Equity fund was up 45% against an average equity fund's gain of 58%.
Remember, if you are stuck with a fund where you cannot even recover your original investment, it makes sense to hold on to it till you get some gains. But whether it's a contra, multi-cap or a closed-end fund, experts suggest these should not be the core holding of your portfolio. Kumar actually suggests you take the 'fund of fund' route. It is a fund that invests your money in other schemes, of the same family or even of other fund houses.

By Mary Beth Sheridan
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, April 10, 2005; Page A23
The U.S. choice to lead the Organization of American States is dropping out of tomorrow's election for the post, amid indications he had garnered little support despite heavy lobbying from Washington.
Francisco Flores, the former president of El Salvador, said at a news conference Friday evening that he would abandon his bid to run the OAS, the main forum for political cooperation in the hemisphere. His withdrawal leaves two other candidates: Jose Miguel Insulza, Chile's interior minister; and Luis Ernesto Derbez, Mexico's foreign minister.
A Flores loss would have been viewed as embarrassing for the United States, whose candidate for OAS chief is almost always elected, diplomats and observers said. Flores had endeared himself to the Bush administration with his support for the Iraq invasion, which was unpopular in much of Central and South America.
The former Salvadoran leader told reporters he had decided to step down because even Central America was split over who to vote for, creating "a dangerous situation of dividing the region even more over a candidacy."
The OAS promotes democracy and regional cooperation on issues ranging from poverty reduction to drug trafficking. It has been without a secretary general since October, when Miguel Angel Rodriguez stepped down because of allegations he took kickbacks while president of Costa Rica from 1998 to 2002. Rodriguez had won the OAS post last June without opposition.
Flores's surprise announcement threw open the race, which is viewed as being less about individual candidates' qualities than regional alliances. Most of South America has declared support for Insulza, who has been dubbed the "Karl Rove of Chile" for his political skills. He belongs to the Socialists, one of several leftist but generally moderate parties that have come to power in South America in recent years.
The United States is now expected to join Canada and Mexico in backing Derbez, a U.S.-trained economist who spent 14 years at the World Bank. Derbez is also expected to pick up several Central American votes that had been committed to Flores.
Flores's candidacy failed to catch fire at least in part because of his close identification with U.S. foreign policy, diplomats and analysts said. El Salvador is the only Latin American country with troops in Iraq, and has been sharply critical of the leftist governments of Cuba and Venezuela.
The Bush administration erred in "pushing a candidate who is more aggressive than the other Latin Americans want," said Peter Hakim, president of the Inter-American Dialogue, a Washington-based think tank.
No matter who won, though, there was never a concern that the OAS would cool toward the United States. Washington pays about 60 percent of the organization's budget, and is the dominant political and economic player in the hemisphere. All of the candidates' countries have had generally positive relations with the Bush administration.
State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said in a statement yesterday that the United States had "the highest respect for the two remaining candidates" and was "prepared to work fully and constructively with whomever is elected." The department said Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice had congratulated Flores for his campaign when he called to inform her of his withdrawal.
The key to the election is expected to be the Caribbean countries, which account for 14 of the 34 votes to be cast. The tiny nations are often courted and pressured by more powerful OAS members during elections, and this round appears no different.
The Caribbean Community said in a statement that the "overwhelming majority" of its members would back Insulza. But because voting is by secret ballot, there is no guarantee the Chilean will win.
"Everybody is still lobbying. Just like any election in the U.S., it's down to the last hour," said Ellsworth John, the OAS ambassador from St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
The vote occurs while some tensions exist between the United States and its neighbors. Much of the Caribbean was unhappy with Washington's acceptance of the ouster of Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide last year. And many Latin American countries feel the U.S. government is preoccupied with Iraq and ignoring them, analysts say.
For its part, the Bush administration has been irritated by the lack of support for its Iraq policy. Still, the United States is the largest trading partner for many OAS countries, and it shares a commitment to democracy and market-based economics with most of the hemisphere.
The new secretary general will take over at a time when the OAS has adopted a higher profile in trying to solve regional conflicts, but is strapped financially. The OAS acting secretary general, Luigi Einaudi, said recently that the group will not be able to fulfill its mission unless it boosts its $75 million budget by an extra $17 million.
The vote will be held at the marble-faced OAS headquarters on Constitution Avenue and 17th Street NW tomorrow morning. The organization includes all countries in the hemisphere except Cuba, which was expelled in 1962.
