Greenwich argues against too much trust in models ... Pension funds, endowment and foundations investing in alternative investments should avoid too much reliance on mathematical risk models to set asset allocations and place more emphasis on the current economic environment, according to a set of best practices issued by Greenwich Roundtable. “We relied too much on quantitative techniques to tell us about the future to the exclusion of good judgment,” Steven McMenamin, executive director, said in an interview about the 74-page report, “Best Practices in Alternative Investing: Portfolio Construction.”.....

Frank Trotta Says Hearst Newspapers Hasn't Measured Up To Greenwich Time Reader's Expectations ..... What Does the Ruler Say? – Our Greenwich By Frank Trotta I’m not an educator, but I’ve been a student enough to know some of the tricks of the trade. When you don’t have enough material to meet the teacher’s expectations you adjust the margins, play with the font, and add a lot a pictures and graphics. A clever student could make two pages of content into a five or six page report pretty easily. Now, let’s take a look at the front page of Sunday’s Greenwich Time. All three stories were Greenwich stories — a good start. But I estimate there are 120 “column inches” available on each shrunken Greenwich Time page. How much of that was “copy” (words in a story, as opposed to outlandishly large margins, pictures, headlines, promotions, advertisements, and the like)? My ruler measured 16 column inches, or roughly 13% of the available space. If you were a teacher, what grade would YOU give the student? Our Greenwich - http://ourgreenwich.com/

Lincoln Millstein Is Once Again Right About The Greenwich BOE

He Is On Top Of The Greenwich School's Like White On Rice

Time to change the way Greenwich school board is selected... By Lincoln Millstein Dave sounds like a guy I wouldn't mind sidling up to at a Greenwich cocktail party and pick his copious brain about a variety of topics. What is unclear to me is whether Dave knows anything about secondary education in the United States ... ....Ditto for John Raben Jr., another nice guy as far as I can tell from his profile on the Republican Town Committee web site. His J.P. Morgan resume may cause some to pause.... ....Stepford Wives? Welcome to the Stepford School Board. And because the school board is assured there is no one on it that represents the constituency most in need of representation in Greenwich - the fast growing Hispanic students - we have the perfect storm that has led to Greenwich being compared to the public school systems in Bridgeport and New Haven. The Greenwich Time had a terrific editorial on the issue today, calling the current system unacceptable, especially in light of the declining reputation of the Greenwich schools under the current school board...... .... Let’s just have the first selectman appoint the superintendent and do away with the school board. Let’s not have an un-democratic process and pretend we’re a democracy. The powers that be in Iran are learning the hard way that that doesn’t work...... Lincoln's Log - http://blog.ctnews.com/lincolnmillstein/
