This report consists of five sections: • The Introductory Section contains the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Fi- nancial Reporting, this Letter of Transmittal, a message from our executive director that outlines the major activities of the past year and plans for the future, identification of the TRS Board of Trustees and organizational structure, and consulting and professional ser- vice providers. • The Financial Section contains the Independent Auditors' Report, Management's Discus- sion and Analysis, the financial statements and related notes, required supplementary schedules, and other supplementary information. • The Investment Section contains information detailing TRS performance, investment man- agers, and the TRS investment portfolio. • The Actuarial Section contains the actuary’s letter of certification, actuarial assumptions and methods, the latest actuarial valuation, certain statistical information on active mem- bers and benefit recipients, and a plan summary including any changes in the plan. • The Statistical Section contains information and additional statistical data pertaining to benefit recipients and historical data on revenue and expenses. Financial Information A system of internal controls helps TRS to monitor and safeguard assets and promote efficient operations. An annual external audit is conducted by the Illinois Auditor General in addition to regular reviews by our internal auditor. The annual budget for TRS administrative expenses is approved by the Board of Trustees, and financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) within the guidelines established by the Gov- ernmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).

  • Risk Analysis of Hedge Funds Versus Long-Only Portfolios
    Oct-01 Version Risk Analysis of Hedge Funds versus Long-Only Portfolios Duen-Li Kao1 Correspondence: General Motors Asset Management 767 5th Avenue New York, N.Y. 10153 E-Mail: [email protected] Current Draft: October 2001 1 Tony Kao is Managing Director of the Global Fixed Income Group at General Motors Asset Management. The author would like to thank Pengfei Xie and Kam Chang for their insightful research assistance. The author is grateful for many useful discussions with colleagues in the Global Fixed Income Group and constructive comments from Stan Kon, Eric Tang and participants at the “Q” Group Conference in spring 2001. 10/16/01 4:17 PM - 1 - Oct-01 Version Risk Analysis of Hedge Funds versus Long-Only Portfolios Introduction Despite the decade-long bull market in the 1990s and liquidity/credit crises in the late 90s, hedge fund investing has been gaining significant popularity among various types of investors. Total size of reported hedge funds increased four fold during the period 1994 to 20002. The Internet bubble and valuation concerns for global equity markets, especially among sectors such as telecommunications, media and technology, have provided additional catalysts for the soaring interest in hedge funds over the last two years. Institutional investors often use hedge funds as part of absolute return strategies in pursuing capital preservation while seeking high single to low double-digit returns. This strategy is primarily implemented by absolute return investors (e.g., endowments, foundations, high net-worth individuals). Allocations by corporate and public pension plans to hedge funds as a defined asset class is a recent phenomenon.

The book is divided into four sections. The first section, "Language Lore," examines some of the myths and misconceptions that affect attitudes toward language--and towards English in particular. The second section, "Language Usage," examines some specific questions of meaning and usage. Section 3, "Language Trends," examines some controversial r trends in English vocabulary, and some developments too new to have received comment before. The fourth section, "Language Politics," treats several aspects of linguistic politics, from special attempts to deal with the ethnic, religious, or sex-specific elements of vocabulary to the broader issues of language both as a reflection of the public consciousness and the U.S. Constitution and as a refuge for the most private forms of expression.

  • HONOR ROLL of DONORS 1 Mack D
    FALL 2014 Recognition of and appreciation for those donors Honor Roll who made a gift to support the students of Le Moyne College from June 1, 2013 to May 31, 2014 of Donors By the time Le Moyne’s 14th president, Linda Le Mura, Ph.D., welcomed the members of the College’s largest-ever freshman class to campus in August, they already had completed their first assignment. As part of the new Core Curriculum, the Freshman Seminar requires that every student, whether studying biological sciences, finance or film, read, most for the first time, a classic, canonical text to introduce them to the practice of academic inquiry. As one of the few colleges to expect as much from its incoming freshmen, Le Moyne has earned kudos from the National Association of Scholars. The Narrative of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave is not an easy read. It is neither fluid nor simple. It demands fortitude and rigor, and challenged the freshman to confront difficult and complex questions about the human condition. Will this reading transform these students? Will it help them land a job in four years? Will it be worth the investment? The answer is yes … if they are willing to push through the complexity and not give up. These young men and women will live and work in a complicated world, and Le Moyne’s president, faculty and staff are committed to helping them to meet the challenges and opportunities ahead. Throughout the College’s history, great leaders and teachers – including Don Monan, S.J., Hap Ridley, S.J., Robert O’Brien, S.J., Charles McCain, Ph.D, Dr.

  • Index to Register of Death 1881-1920
    Index to Register of Deaths Town of Oyster Bay Compiled by Town Historian John E. Hammond When Theodore Roosevelt died in 1919 his death was duly recorded by Oyster Bay Town Clerk Charles Weeks. Roosevelt was buried in Youngs Memorial Cemetery on January 8, 1919. RICHARD LaMARCA JOHN E. HAMMOND Town Clerk Town Historian A Message from Town Clerk RICHARD LaMARCA Dear Genealogy Enthusiast, Death certificates are filled with useful information for anyone compiling a family genealogy. While most states started requiring death certificates around the turn of the last century, the Town of Oyster Bay has records dating back to 1881. This booklet now does a lot of the work for you by listing those death certificates filed in the Town of Oyster Bay between the years 1881 to 1920. If you have been working on your family’s genealogy for a while, you are probably familiar with these little treasure troves. However, if you’re just starting out, you may not be aware of the valuable data they contain. Gener-ally speaking, the Towns’ death certificates include the name of the deceased, the deceased’s date and place of birth, the cause of death, the deceased’s place of burial, the names and birth places of both parents (a death certificate is a great resources for maiden names), and the name of the doctor. Just a word of caution: These are not perfect documents. Usually, the infor-mation was supplied by a relative, also known as the “informant.” This means the information was correct if the person knew it or could recall it under rather emotional circumstances.

    Online Connections Quaker Records Home Download Abbreviations Now [Press Ctrl+F to search file. New Castle Monthly Meeting Births and Deaths (Henry County) Edited by Ruth Dorrel and Thomas D. Hamm New Castle Monthly Meeting was first held Ninth Month 25, 1886. It was formed by setting off New Castle Preparative Meeting from Duck Creek Monthly Meeting and Flat Rock Preparative Meeting from Springfield Monthly Meeting. Friends from North Carolina first settled in the town of New Castle in 1823. They were never many, however, and apparently attended meeting at Duck Creek or east of New Castle at Flat Rock, which was subordinate to Springfield Monthly Meeting. In the mid-1870s, Spiceland Monthly Meeting attempted to establish a meeting for worship, but it was laid down in 1877. In 1870, Dr. Isaac Mendenhall invited Friends living in New Castle to begin meeting at his office. This attempt was more successful, and in 1881 Duck Creek Monthly Meeting gave the group preparative meeting status. A new meetinghouse on North Main Street opened in Second Month 1886, a few months before the establishment of the monthly meeting. New Castle grew as the meeting at Flat Rock declined. Flat Rock was laid down in 1914. A graveyard remains at the site. The following records are in the Indiana Yearly Meeting Archives at Earlham College.
