The Scottish Borders may not enjoy the same high-profile courses that other parts of the country may have, theres a certain delight in discovering its hidden gems: friendly locals, wonderful scenery, terrific value for money, and a brilliant collection of more than 20 golf courses.
Eyemouth is a course not to miss. Its sixth hole, which plates across a deep gully down to the lashing waes below, is one of the most photographed holes in Scottish golf and was once voted Britains Most Extraordinary Golf Hole. Meanwhile, the 13th the so-called Hawkness Monster measures over 650 yards from the back trees and is one of the longest holes in the country.
For those with a taste for history, Hawick has the oldest golf club in the Scottish Borders, which dates back to 1877. The course itself is of high quality too, and due to its high elevation, it offers some lovely views. of the surrounding countryside.
Breaking away into the spotlight is the Roxburghe in Kelso. The Roxburghe, owned by the Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe, was the Borders' first championship golf course. Home of the Charles Church Scottish Seniors Open, it is a great test of golf amid wonderful surroundings. The designer was Dave Thomas, and as a result the grounds bears his hallmarks - deep bunkers and large rolling greens.
Another Thomas-designed course is the acdonald Cardrona resort, near Peebles. Its greens are known to be the best in the region and it is a great choice for a Scottish Borders golfing break.
With world-renowned courses, hidden gems and breathtaking scenery, the Southeast of Scotland is truly a wonderful setting for a game of golf.

Use of force and violation of the rights of religious minorities at the hands of Hindu extremists backed by the Indian Government has become a common occurrence. In such a hostile environment of coercion, denial of equal rights and discrimination, space for India's religious minorities is fast shrinking, laying bare the falsehood of the Indian Constitution and its claims of being a secular state. These were some of the views shared by speakers and participants of the roundtable on "Violations of Religious Minorities –Muslims & Sikhs – in India" organized by the Islamabad Policy Research Institute here in Islamabad today. Welcoming the speakers, Acting President of the Institute Brig (R) SohailTirmizi, SI(M) outlined the importance of the roundtable in order to awaken the world conscience against the brutalitieson Indian Muslims and Sikhs primarily, but also against innocent unarmed Kashmiris, Christians and Harijans by India.
In the session chaired by Dr. ZafarIqbalCheema,President & Executive Director, Strategic Vision Institute (SVI), Islamabad,Mr. Khalid Rahman, Director General, Institute of Policy Studies (IPS), Islamabad spoke onIndian Secularism and Policy towards Religious Minorities: Myth and Reality (Case of Muslims).'The reason India chose Seclurism over Hinduism—constitutionally—is not by choice, it is rather because of inescapable political needs of the country,' said DG IPS. According to him, the reason why incidents of abuse and mistreatment have been and are taking place against religious minorities in India is because secularism in the country is merely an arrangement for political gains, without any commitment to its core values. He pointed out that since Modi's BJP government came into power, Muslims have been targeted under varioushate campaigns such as GharWapsi, Love Jehad, and most recently in the name of cow vigilantes and ban on beef slaughtering.Quoting a 2017 report by India Spend, he informed that in the 63heinous hate incidents during 2010–2017, 86% of the victims were Muslims and 98% of these incidents occurred after NarendraModi assumed power. He recommended that to gain representation in political and administrative avenues,Indian Muslims need to devise innovative and comprehensive socio-academic strategies with which they can empower themselves and protect their rights. Networking and alliances with the 'saner' elements in Indian society should also be an essential part of their strategy. While in the international arena, there have been voices raised at the United Nations, as well as reports by rights' organizations, the need is to make these voices strong enough to put real pressure on India to be fair to its minorities, he stressed.
Dr. Muhammad MujeebAfzal, Assistant Professor, School of Politics and International Relations, Islamabad discussed thePlight of Muslim Community and Indian Atrocities on the Kashmiris. He outlined that Indian Muslims are victims of the 'Indian Myth'of nationhood and socio-cultural integration of Hindu majority which is deeply entrenched in their discriminatory caste/class system.He added that in India, no recognition has ever been given to religious minorities constitutionally. However, during the entire process, the important issue for Muslims was how to protect themselves and their values in order to emerge as a community with their own political identity.DrMujeeb pointed out that politically India's reliance on aggression against minorities ensures a large vote bank since the presence of religious minorities is perceived to be a hurdle in the process of national integration. In the process of cultural transformation, religious minorities especially Muslims have been a victim of 'soft Hindutva', he opined. Given their social circumstances, the Indian Muslim community only speak out against the human rights violations against Kashmiris, rather than supporting the freedom struggle of Kashmiris as well.
Dr. Noor ulHaq, Former Senior Research Fellow at IPRI argued that Indian HR violations and atrocities on the Sikhs only accelerated their demand for a separate homeland. The Khalistan movement was brutally curbed by Congress by declaring emergencies, making numerous arrests, inflicting brutal tacticsagainst Sikhs, including killing them.Reviewing the historical perspective, DrHaq stated that the events of 1984 onwards left the Sikh community at large emotionally distraught. Non-Resident Indian Sikhs are keeping the Sikh Freedom Movement alivewhich started in 1984. 'Never-forget 1984' is the slogan on social media, he said.
Concluding the roundtable, DrZafarIqbalCheemastressed that Pakistan should adopt innovative startegies to highlight violations of human rights of religious minorities in India. He said that there is nothing that could separate Pakistan from Kashmir given their socio-cultural, historical and religious commonalities.

AT&T Unveils New Data Plans for Smartphones, Tablets
AT&T announced Wednesday that it will overhaul its smartphone and tablet data plans, starting this Sunday, Jan. 22.
The new smartphone plans will provide 300MB for $20, with $20 for an extra 300MB if you go over. 3GB of data, meanwhile, will set you back $30, while 5GB will cost $50 per month with mobile hotspot and tethering. Those plans will cost $10 per additional gigabyte.
At this point, AT&T offers 200MB for $15 per month, 2GB for $25, and 4GB for $45 with tethering. Customers who had unlimited AT&T data back in the day still enjoy that perk, though on Oct. 1, AT&T started throttling those who used an "extraordinary" amount of data.
On the tablet front, 3GB will be $30 per month while 5GB will be $50 per month. Previously, the carrier offered 250MB for $14.99 per month or 2GB for $25. Tablet data plans run for 30 days and automatically renew unless you cancel; overage fees are $10 per additional gigabyte.
"Customers are using more data than ever before," said David Christopher, chief marketing officer of AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. "Our new plans are driven by this increasing demand in a highly competitive environment, and continue to deliver a great value to customers, especially as we continue our 4G LTE deployment."
Users will receive text messages if they are approaching their data limit, AT&T said. Someone on the 300MB plan, for example, will get a message when they consume 65 percent of their data.

Kcee in an interview with The Punch finally cleared the air on his alleged affair with Nollywood actress Ebube Nwagbo. Kcee denied the rumours earlier but in this interview he confessed they dated, although he refused to comment if he dated her while he was married or not.
Kcee's been married for at least 2 years
Can you clear the air on your marital status and the alleged affair you had with actress, Ebube Nwagbo?
Most times, I don't like talking about marriage because it is a private issue. But to clear the air, I never said I was married or not. The person that did the interview made a mistake. They asked a simple question about a wedding in Lekki some years back and I told them it was not my wedding, it was E-Money's wedding.
Were you dating Ebube at the time?
Were you married at the time?
(Giggles) I don't want to talk about it; I think we should move on.
People also said you were separated from your wife, only for you to be seen with her again?
I think we should go to the next question. Leave people alone, let them be talking.

Sold Out
I am the only turtle that is an herbivore. My favorite food is seagrass. I can weigh up to 350 lbs. and can live up to 80 years old. My only enemies are tiger sharks and indigenous people in the South Pacific (who like my meat). I am endangered because I often get caught in fishing nets and all my nesting areas are being taken away by housing developments along coastal areas. There are only 203,000 nesting female turtles left in the seas.

A cycle trail through woodland near Ashurst passing through Churchplace, Deerleap and Longdown Inclosures. The route is mostly on forest tracks but also includes a short stretch on Deerleap Lane. The distance increases from 3.4 miles to 4.8 miles if you start from Ashurst camp site.
- Cycle
- 4.8 miles / 7.7 kms
- 125 feet / 38 metres
- Add to Basket
- Andrew Walmsley
- 31 Jan 2010
1. Follow the cycle track out of the car park and over a strip of grassland/encroaching heath running between Deerleap and Longdown Inclosures, Deerleap Inclosure is on the right.
2. After a relatively short distance, pass a gravel track on the left (it is not a cycle track) and eventually travel downhill to cross a narrow stream flanked by alder carr. Notice here the prominent pipes used to control the water flow.
3. Follow the cycle track to the right, through a gate into Deerleap Inclosure, and immediately reach a 'T' junction, cycle track sign number 45.
4. Turn left, and then follow the route as it immediately goes right.
5. Continue parallel to the railway line (lookout along here by the trackside for the huge, domed nests of southern wood ants), and then after just over 1 kilometre (0.6 mile), ignore a turn on the left and continue into Churchplace Inclosure.
6. Follow the cycle track until a 'T' junction is reached, turn right (note, straight ahead here is not a cycle track) and continue on, eventually back into the coniferous woodland of Deerleap Inclosure.
7. Reach a 'X' roads on the edge of a block of mature conifers. Note, straight on is not a cycle track, and the cycle track sign here is 'sideways-on' and therefore not particularly obvious.
8. Turn left to, after 0.75 kilometres (0.5 miles), leave Deerleap Inclosure through a gate. After a short distance, turn right along Deerleap Lane and the car park is not far away, on the right.
Trail Location
The trail starts at Deerleap car park on Deerleap Lane, close to the New Forest Otter, Owl and Wildlife Park (SU353095). An alternative start point is Ashurst camp site, a cycle track from the camp site joins this cycle route on the edge of Churchplace Inclosure. The nearest train station is Ashurst, approx. 3.5 kilometres (2 miles) by road from the Deerleap car park, but those travelling by train might prefer the start point in Ashurst camp site.

Ozone and particulate matter for the past couple of days has been healthy or moderately healthy in Sacramento, Yolo, Placer and El Dorado counties.
"The inversion because it's so hot has been breaking every day. That increases vertical mixing and keeps pollution levels low," says Jamie Arno of the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District.
She says a light breeze has helped keep the air clean. But Arno says the forecast suggests the region may be in store for more polluted air through Thursday.
"We probably will creep into that unhealthy for sensitive groups category. That means that children, the elderly and anyone with any sort of respiratory condition like asthma or bronchitis will want to limit their outdoor exposure for the next couple of days." says Arno.

For many years I have been fascinated with "tiny home" architecture. I was interested in it before it was cool to be interested in it but I never really had a chance to pursue that interest. Recently, as I get back into my career as an architect (I took 8 years off to raise my kids), I've become re-interested in the topic, but more specifically in shipping container tiny homes.
Shipping container homes are the ultimate sustainable tiny home in that they re-purpose old shipping containers into something that someone can live in.
A basic shipping container is approximately 20′ long by 8′ wide by 8′ tall. This ends up being roughly around 150 s.f. of usable living space once the container is built-out and made inhabitable.
Could you live in a space that is only 150 s.f.?
Every week (more or less) I'm going to publish a new shipping container home plan sketch. I'm still a bit rusty and trying to get my freehand skills back so they will be crude, but the only way to sketch better is to sketch more often. So that is my intent.
Below is my very first attempt at a shipping container home plan using a single, basic 20'x8′ unit.

A bit of a catch-up for you. A week ago, I had to go into hospital as I had been fainting and suffering quite bad heart pains. The bizarre thing was, the actual medical condition got completely swept away when the services realised my history of self-harm and overdoses and thus, at 2am, I was waiting for an interview with the psychiatric department to plead for my release. I still don't know why I was fainting and blacking out, but I was told vaguely, by a nurse, that my blood pressure was very low and my pulse rate had dropped to 58 bpm. I was very reluctant to bring the psychiatric stuff up, and loathe to go to hospital, so I ended up having a permanent police escort in case I 'did a runner' - I was given the opportunity to go willingly, or be sectioned. As it stood, I was told later, I was under some form of sectioning whether I liked it or not. A bit of a three-lined whip there and what a waste of resources? Ian and I ended up playing 'I Spy' and other ridiculous games with our bobby on the beat. He was as bored as we were...And I think he realised that it was a waste of his time, too, having to make sure I 'behaved'.
Rosemary is still at her father's house and has embraced the purse of The Other Woman with outstretched hands. She was treated to about £100 worth of designer gear two weeks ago and has rubbed her sister's nose in it repeatedly. She has blown hot and cold with me over the telephone. We redecorated her bedroom last week - our house is a work in progress and the only room left now is the bathroom. Simply redecorating the room caused ructions as Beth claimed it was now a 'Guest Bedroom' - this led to Rosemary storming out of our house within five minutes of arriving - ostensibly she had come to 'say hi', but she was actually waiting here for her friend to invite her over for tea. Doors slammed, and then reopened as she stormed through the house, up the stairs, crashed drawers, cupboards...I took it for about ten minutes, and then decided enough was enough. There ensued yet another stand-up lecture about how this behaviour was not endearing her to us, and if she wanted to return here, hard work was going to have to be done.
This ill atmosphere infiltrated the house and left us all feeling rather flattened. As it came for her to go to her friend's, she gave me a hug...and I felt again as though my Rosie was in my arms - she didn't want to let go, and it was so sweet. Then she stalked off and I haven't seen her since.
I've not been drinking (sorry, Lola!) and thinking more clearly. I've cut down on the laxatives and I nibble through the day. I am trying to eat a main meal in the evenings and 4/7, I succeed. I am, however, finding that around 5pm, after I have accumulated worries through the day (mostly of my own making, and my own over-active mind), I will succumb to a binge-purge. Generally, just the one. It sort of takes all the crap out of my head and it gets flushed down the toilet along with the rest of the gloop. That one action really seems to exorcise my demons - and takes much less toll on the rest of the household than me caning the red wine or vodka.
The dynamics between Beth, Ian and me are fantastic, I must admit. It's as though there is more oxygen to breathe in this house. There is more levity, more fun, more peace, and stacks of laughter. I actually feel better now than I have done for around 12 months. Ian and I are getting on very well and nary a cross word has passed between us for over two weeks. Even Beth has noticed the vast improvement in our relationship and she rarely notices anything unless it is covered in fur and meows. Although I miss Rosemary, I don't miss the rows, stress, tip-toeing over eggshells, and the volatility of her temper. I hope that she thinks hard about my 'speech' to her wherein I explained that although we loved her deeply, we didn't love her behaviour and all we want is respect and civility...somehow, though, I don't think she will mither too much as she is currently being treated to everything her little heart desires. Her father is acting as though she is the injured party, The Other Woman is all over her like a rash and she is the centre of all attention. The only problem in all of this, is that Beth is now being treated by her father like the poor relation and it bites. Ian and I are doing our utmost to ensure that she is happy and contented here, but as I said to him, we have to always be aware that we cannot concede too much, otherwise another spoilt child emerges and that's no good to anyone.
I was rather shocked to learn my weight at hospital. My own bathroom scales would appear to be extremely wrong and I was 8lbs lighter on the hospital scales, fully clothed - this was also the case when I weighed in at a spa a few weeks ago. The really strange thing for me is that I feel my mind-set moving away from struggling with an ED. I don't really consider myself 'suffering', as it were - I feel as though I am trying to fight it inwardly and outwardly. I will force myself to eat, even if I don't want to, rather than surrender and starve. As I say, the ED manifests itself, physically, mainly in that one binge-purge of the day, which is a vast improvement on a few weeks ago when it could have happened 3, 4, 5+ times a day.
Mother dearest is on top form, as usual! It seems the ex has had to go for a brain scan (I wonder if they found it?). And she is deeply concerned: baby-sitting, making meals for him (the last of which he was violently ill with: a fact which raised a wry smile to my face - perhaps she is surreptitiously attempting to poison him, and the matiness is all a big front?! That's My Mum!!) and even kissing him better...'kiss-ass' was mentioned by Beth a few more times having witnessed these events this week! She is also now asking after The Other Woman. No doubt TOW will be invited for dinner one weekend in the not too distant future. Considering this is the woman my Mother christened 'That Bitch', this will be interesting to observe...
And I have actually been able to detach from it somewhat. Each little revelation from Beth brings its own twisting of the knife, but after a good night's sleep, I can generally shrug it off and objectively amaze at how completely rotten the woman is, through and through. Anyone who can behave like this towards their own child has to be mentally unstable. I appear to have been given the wrong mother and therefore, I have to cast her aside - I've done that physically, and mentally/emotionally, it's definitely on its way nowadays, thank God.
My one big hang-up at the moment is not being employed. I handed in my notice with the pharmaceutical company for whom I worked. I knew a return to that manic environment, with a boss who considered me one techy fact below Bill Gates, gave me the vaguest remits for jobs and then lambasted me if things went wrong would not be conducive to a healthy future, either mentally or physically at the moment, and thus resigned. I have been approached by a number of agencies over the last few months to apply for other Search Marketing jobs, but have declined. However, I now feel ready to face the Rat Race again in many ways. I feel very inadequate at the moment. Going from competent trouble-shooter to cosy domestic doesn't sit comfortably with me. Keeping a spotless home, cooking, ironing, running errands is all well and good, but for a very strange reason, it doesn't seem a valuable or valued job in my eyes. I want to feel as though I am contributing to this household financially as well as practically. Having been an independent, single parent for quite a long time, it is a shock to be a 'kept woman' and I don't think I like it.
But my sticking point is going to be my sickness record. Few employers would touch me with a barge-pole at the moment, and I haven't a clue how to explain it all away without coming across as a total basket-case. How do you explain anorexia to a businessman who will probably think I have a dieting obsession? How do you explain bulimia to a boss who cannot start his day without a Full Monty fry-up? I'm not generalising here - from my own work experience, every boss of mine has been enormous, or at least, thoroughly enjoyed his first light bacon butties...
So, I need to get my thinking cap on and work out how to get around this blip. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

A nationwide manhunt is underway for a man who broke into a shop and defecated on the carpet.
Police are hunting the man, believed to be in his twenties or early thirties, on suspicion of criminal damage.
The identified man is said to have damaged the door of a commercial property in Cliff Street, Bridlington, and ruined the carpet at around 1.30am on December 21st.
He then left without stealing anything.
Police today took the hunt one step further and released CCTV footage of him in a bid to bring him to justice.
A spokeswoman for Humberside Police said: 'Damage was caused to the carpet of a commercial property during a break-in. It appears that nothing was taken.
'However, the suspect is alleged to have defecated on the carpeted stairs of the property.'
Anyone with information on this man should call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Microsoft is one of Wal-Mart's biggest suppliers. But that did not stop the Wal-Mart employee in charge of buying computers from panning Microsoft's newest operating system, Vista.
"Is it really all that and a bag of chips?" he wrote on his blog. "My life has not changed dramatically — well, for that matter, it hasn't changed at all."
His public burst of candor was not isolated. On the same blog, a video game buyer for Wal-Mart slammed a "Star Wars" film as a "debacle" even though Wal-Mart still sells the movie.
Known for its strict, by-the-books culture — accepting a cup of coffee from a supplier can be a firing offense — Wal-Mart is now encouraging its merchants to speak frankly, even critically, about the products the chain carries.
This unusual new Web site, which was quietly created during the holiday shopping season, has become a forum for unvarnished rants about gadgets, raves about new video games and advice on selecting environmentally sustainable food.Continue reading the main story
Corporate blogs are nothing new — General Motors, Dell and Boeing have them — but Wal-Mart's site, called Check Out (checkoutblog.com), turns the traditional model on its head. Instead of relying on polished high-level executives, it is written by little-known buyers, largely without editing.
The result is an intensely personal window into the lives, preferences and quirks of the powerful tastemakers at Wal-Mart, the nation's largest retailer, who have spent years shielded from public view.
Their decisions about what makes it onto Wal-Mart's shelves have enormous impact, earning (or costing) vendors millions of dollars. It was a blogger on the Check Out, after all, who first disclosed last month that Wal-Mart would stock only high-definition DVDs and players using the Blu-ray format, rather than the rival HD DVD system. The decision was considered the death knell for HD DVD.
On the blog, Marvin Deshommes, a merchandise manager in the lawn and garden department, tells readers that he belongs to the Christian Live Cathedral Church. His favorite quote from the Bible is Luke 12:48 — "To whom much is given, from him much will be required."
Joe Muha, a video game buyer, discloses that Ayn Rand is one of his favorite authors. Danielle Pribbernow, a toy buyer, talks about her cat, Sierra.
Wal-Mart says the Web site helps buyers solicit quick feedback from consumers on the merchandise — and shows a softer side of the giant company, which has 5,000 stores, 1.2 million workers and annual sales of nearly $400 billion.
"We are real people, and that gets lost in the to and fro of business," said Nick Agarwal, a Wal-Mart communications official who helped develop the blog. "It puts real personality out there in a real conversation."
But all that uncensored rambling has its potential drawbacks, like irritating suppliers or consumers. Mr. Muha, the video game buyer, may have ventured into dangerous territory, for example, when describing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
"The bad guys are the usual Middle Eastern extremists. I guess they are the new Nazis for the modern era," he wrote.
This is not Wal-Mart's first plunge into the blogosphere. Several years ago, when the retailer's public relations problems began to mount, it turned to the Web for relief. It created one blog, Working Families for Wal-Mart, to trumpet the chain's accomplishments and ding its critics. It created another, Wal-Marting Across America, to highlight the good deeds and productive careers of Wal-Mart employees.
Critics dismissed both as thinly veiled extensions of Wal-Mart's P.R. department, and Wal-Mart shut them down.
The lesson seemed clear: create an authentic blog or don't create a blog at all.
Wal-Mart employees began developing Check Out (subtitled "Where the Lanes Are All Open") a year ago and recruited a handful of buyer-bloggers last fall, giving them rudimentary training on how to post their writing, upload videos and create hyperlinks.
The focus of the Web site, the novice bloggers decided, would be electronics, given the reliable appetite for gadget reviews and news on the Web, with a sprinkling of posts on the environment, toys and furniture.
After heeding the lessons of Wal-Mart's earlier blogs and consulting with several well-known bloggers from sites like the Huffington Post, the buyers decided the site would succeed only if they wrote in their own voice, free from censorship and corporate review.
"Readers can tell if people are being genuine or monitored," said Alex Cook, the merchandise manager for Wal-Mart's entertainment division, who blogs about computers and electronics (and who wrote the lukewarm review of Windows Vista).
Anil Dash, a blogger at Six Apart, which makes blogging software, said the evolution in Wal-Mart's thinking about blogs was typical. "You start with this total lockdown, suits read everything, one post a month model," he said. "Then you evolve. A year later, you get one that is more open. A year after that, they start to do something that is far more authentic."
Mr. Dash said Wal-Mart's decision to let buyers do the blogging reflected a growing recognition that "trying to control who can speak and what they can say does not work."
Mr. Agarwal said the company had no problems with any of the posts so far. "If you are a vendor and you talk to your Wal-Mart buyer all the time, you are going to know their likes and dislikes anyway," he said.
Like every blogger, the buyers at Wal-Mart are finding the biggest challenge is not figuring out what to write, but making room in their schedules to write it. "Finding the time to blog," Mr. Cook said, "is hard."
So far, the Check Out receives about 1,000 hits a day, a relatively small figure. The closely watched Blu-ray news temporarily bolstered traffic in mid-February.
By and large, however, the site is filled with less urgent musings on products and trends. Mr. Cook, the entertainment merchandise manager, recently wrote about his love of desktops and his wife's passion for laptops.
"My wife mocks me as she parades around the house with her laptop," he wrote. "Lip-synching 'Freedom' by Jimi Hendrix while on iTunes. Checking her e-mail from the couch. Browsing the Internet while lounging on top of her bed."
In an interview, Mr. Cook said he did not worry about sharing information about his life or writing a dismissive review of a product Wal-Mart carries, like Vista.
"It was not any different than what I said to Microsoft" when he met with company officials, he said, and added, "If it was something that would be a surprise, it might be different."Continue reading the main story

White Papers
RCG Managed Futures Offers Educational Managed Futures Resources.
Managed Futures as a Liquid, Transparent Hedge Fund Style
The late Dr. John Lintner (1916 – 1983), a Harvard University Professor, had an illustrious and prolific career, including recognition as one of the co-creators of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM).
Modern Portfolio Theory was further advanced by the work of professor Dr. John Lintner in his 1983 study, "The Potential Role of Managed Commodities-Financial Futures Accounts in Portfolios of Stocks and Bonds"
Lintner noted, with regard to the portfolios in the study, that the "…Portfolios … including judicious investments…in leveraged managed futures accounts show substantially less risk at every possible level of expected return than portfolios of stocks (or stocks and bonds) alone."
In addition, Lintner noted, with regard to the portfolios in the study, that while managed futures may in some instances decrease portfolio risk, managed futures may also simultaneously enhance overall portfolio performance. With regard to the portfolios in the study, Professor John E. Lintner found that including managed futures in the portfolio "reduces volatility while enhancing return".
The following white paper revisits Lintners theories and also dispels some common myths regarding managed futures.

A week ago, Zero Hedge penned "An MLEC In PIIGS' Clothing: The Latest Greek Bailout Proposal Picks Up Where the Super SIV Failed" in which we explained how the current fatally flawed proposal for a Greek bailout is nothing more than a structured vehicle, expected to remain off the books, and much more importantly, expected to not trigger rating agency ire, and kill the entire extend and pretend game: remember - an Event of Default by a rating agency, even a Technical one (completely irrelevant of what ISDA does with Greek CDS) means game over for the European Central Bank and its €2 trillion in "assets", not to mention the western financial system. Now, a week later, the FT's own Wolfgang Munchau explains why our observation of how toxic the "bailout plan" is was rather accurate: "This structure is still not quite so complex as some of the more elaborate CDOs we have encountered in the global financial crisis. If you take some time to work through the arrows and boxes, you see relatively quickly that this complex structure is not a private sector participation at all. Rather it is a private sector bail-out... I have no space for a large drawing with lots of boxes and arrows to explain the complexity of the vehicle, through which eurozone governments want to involve the private-sector banks in its next loan package." Munchau's conclusion: "If this was any other field of human activity, you would go to jail if you accepted, let alone made such an indecent offer." On the other hand, all is fair in love and perpetuating the ponzi Status QuoTM. Our follow-on observation that "The two things that are keeping the Eurozone afloat: an SPV and a CDO" alas appears also to be rather in line. And before the entire financial system collapses upon itself like a cheap lawnchair, this will be fondly remembered as one of the more prudent "rescue" mechanisms enacted to delay the inevitable.
And inevitable it is:
It is also inevitable that Greece will default on its coupon payment at some point. The interest will be 8 per cent under a benign growth scenario, and 5.5 per cent under a not so benign one. Either way, Greece cannot pay such a high level of interest.
Here is how the CDO looks like graphically:
Munchau gives more details:
So here is my best attempt in words: if you own a Greek bond that matures by June 2014, you keep 30 per cent of the redemption as cash, and roll over 70 per cent into a 30-year Greek government bond. The Greeks will have to pay an annual coupon, or interest rate, of between 5.5 per cent and 8 per cent. The precise rate will depend on future economic growth.
Of the money received, Greece will lend on 30 per cent to a special purpose vehicle, another well-known construction from the subprime mortgage crisis. The SPV invests into AAA-rated government or agency bonds, and issues a 30-year zero coupon bond. The purpose of this is to guarantee the principal of the 30-year Greek government bond that you just bought.
With this construction, the downside to your losses is limited. Depending on how some of the parameters of this agreement evolve, you will probably make a small loss, relative to the par value of your holding. If you are lucky, you might come out positive. You will probably not be lucky. But you will still be better off than if you sold today, or if Greece were to default. More important, the accounting rules allow you to pretend that you are not making any losses at all.
The punchline is not surprising, but it is funny:
The rollover agreement represents, from an economic point of view, nothing but a collateralised bond. It subordinates all other bondholders. The rating agencies would normally not hesitate to attach a default rating to Greek government debt.
So the solution is to create a complex structure, and claim that it is technically not a collateralised bond, but something that defies definition.
As for Greece, which as even Juncker now agrees it is game over, they have all the cards in their pocket:
Just why the Greeks would want to accept such a ruinous deal is not clear to me. They did their duty last week when they voted for the austerity programme and its implementation law.
The acceptance of the terms of this private sector participation agreement was never part of the agreement with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. They could therefore simply refuse, and throw the ball back to Europe's squabbling finance ministers. I doubt they will do this. They seem scared about the consequences of an immediate default.
Nevertheless, once the treacherous nature of this contraption is fully understood, I would expect the politics of crisis resolution in Greece to become even more difficult, and accident-prone.
The MLEC did not work for Subprime. It will not work here either. But whatever can buy a few days or weeks of no volume levitation for the market while the insiders and smarter hedge funds cash out to the biggest grenade holders will work for the time being. And when that fails, some other insanely idiotic idea will be proposed... and swallowed hook like and sinker by a market which is getting depressingly dumber by the minute, although explainably so: everyone is on the same side of the boat once again.
If anyone dares to point out that the ponzi viceroy of the world is naked, it's all over.

—Speak before I think
—Judge others harshly
—Hold a grudge
The words of the precious hymn, Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing (Robert Robinson, 1735-1790) sums it up in one phrase:
"Prone to wander, Lord I feel it, prone to leave the God I love…"
Because of this hateful sin nature I was born with, I'm prone to wander from my Lord. And when I roam from His heart, my self tends to explode with pride, vanity, and selfishness. When I wander from God's plans and direction, I not only dig a hole, I sit at the bottom like a petulant child—arms crossed and lower lip protruding.
What a mess.
Praise God He has a solution to our sin-prone, wandering souls!
The second verse of the hymn holds these amazing words:
"Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed his precious blood."
Because of our rescue through the precious blood of Christ, we have forgiveness.
And restoration.
Two of the most beautiful words ever offered from the sacrificial heart of our Creator God.
Words that should drive us to our knees in thanksgiving and praise. Words that should send us running, no—sprinting back into the arms of our Heavenly Father.
Can you hear His sweet voice?
Yes, she falls down, but she gets back up. She is sometimes faithless, but she comes to Me and seeks restoration. She is prone to fail Me, but her heart keeps short accounts and reaches for forgiveness. She is Mine, the apple of My eye, sealed for all eternity.
"…here's my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for thy courts above."
Yes, Lord. Yes.
Do you have specific vulnerabilities you are constantly fighting? God provides the rescue!
Have a blessed week!
Leigh Ann 🙂

|It can't all be smiles and PRs and flattering race photos. (Photo by Ken Trombatore)
This photo was taken at a 10K race I ran in April. I did not share this photo then for obvious reasons. I share it now because I am kind of delighted by its awfulness and also because it sort of eloquently makes the point that sometimes in a fitness journey, you biff it.
Over the past several months, I have very much biffed it.
I went from running 4-5 times a week to running once every couple of weeks. I lost a huge chunk of my fitness base. I got so bogged down by pace and distance that I had to entirely ditch tracking my runs and wearing my Garmin for the indefinite future.
It's been ugly.
I lost motivation and then I got sick and then I was out of the habit and then I got sick again and I got busy and then I just didn't feel like running and then I developed this cough that came with decreased lung capacity and all of a sudden, I wasn't a runner anymore.
I'm clawing my way back though. I've been making an effort to get on the road or the treadmill every day and not feel bad if I walk instead of run. I've made peace with shorter mileage. I'm postponing the Big Running Goals I wanted to accomplish this fall and not beating myself up about it.
But I went on a run today that felt incredible. (Hooray for increased lung capacity again.)
My new mileage goal for the year is just to keep running. I'm going to finish out the year with no races longer than a 10K. I'm going to aim for a spring half marathon if I can find a good one. I'm going to sign up early for those big fall running events that I originally intended to do this year.
I'm finally feeling inspired to be a runner again and I'm realizing that inspiration is what I was missing. I hope it is here to stay.
* Disaster Strikes! Soda Edition: As long as I'm coming clean about my inactivity, I should let you know that even though I haven't mentioned it, I am a soda drinker again and have been for months and months. I know. It's shameful.

Simply Chickie in Newport, Rhode Island, is a GOTS certified organic baby, kids and adult clothing brand. Last month, Simply Chickie launched its "Love" line of t-shirts. Here, Gwendolyn Gardner, the founder of Simply Chickie, shares the inspiration for the line's launch.
MSM: How did you come up with the idea for the "Love" line?
GG: The "Earn Your Karma" bamboo tank tops is one of the new tanks in the "love" line at Simply Chickie. I just love the idea of karma – it's a cool concept that everyone immediately relates to. To me, the idea that there is some sort of justice in the world is empowering. It reminds me that I'm responsible for everything I do, whether good or bad, and that I will be held accountable in some way. That accountability factor is important to me – so important that I teach it to my daughter whenever I can. It reminds me to stay positive in all situations, and to do good at every opportunity.
MSM: Why is the idea of karma important to you?
GG: I draw inspiration from the quote: "How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours," by Wayne W. Dyer, an author, philosopher and motivational speaker. In fact, the whole concept of karma is so important to me, I enjoy walking around town wearing this "Love" shirt. I get a lot of comments about it, and it's led to some very interesting conversations with folks who came to me as strangers and became valued acquaintances – even friends.
MSM: Are there any other quotes on karma you like?
GG: "I want revenge, but I don't want to screw up my karma," by author Susane Colasanti.
MSM: What should our readers know about your "Love" line?
GG: The "Earn Your Karma" tank tops are velvety soft and comfy, because they are made from bamboo and organic cotton. Plus, the long body of the top fits well over yoga pants, as well as jeans. The other new designs as part of the "Love" line include "LOVE," a large red heart, and "Live Love Laugh."
If you're looking for super-comfortable organic clothing to wear while working out, doing yoga, just lounging around or sleeping, this new tank top will really fit the bill for you. They are made in the U.S. using GOTS certified bamboo and organic cotton grown without any herbicides and pesticides. In addition, they are available in small, medium, large and extra large sizes for women.

While thousands of Palestinians participated Sunday in the funeral procession of eight activists, including the West Bank commander of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, killed Saturday in Nablus, Israeli soldiers ended their aggressive operation in the city.
The Al-Aqsa Brigades vowed an unprecedented "earthquake" of revenge in the wake of the weekend rais in Nablus, in which Israeli troops also killed the local commanders of Hamas, and the Islamic Jihad.
On his part, Palestinian PM Ahmed Qurei said Sunday that the Israeli "atrocious crime" in Nablus is an evidence that the Israeli government continues killing and assassination plan against the Palestinian people.
In a statement issued in Nablus, Qurei said that killing and assassination of Palestinians is a part of the Israeli strategy.
Qurei, however, said "Israel must know that these crimes will not undermine our determination to regain our legitimate rights," adding "this crime is also a clear message to the Quartet Committee."
He added that constructing the "Apartheid Wall, colonization and seizing Palestinian land are a part of the Israeli strategic policy which comes in the framework of the unilateral withdrawal plan from Gaza."
The PM stressed that the Israeli crime in Nablus is a strong message to the Quartet, UN, and the international community, adding that Israel is either a state above the law or it has to be stopped. He affirmed that if Israel did not end its aggression the chaos will prevail in the region. (menareport.com)

I was recently listening to a podcast with a segment about communicating with Alzheimer's patients. It was discussing the use of the "yes and" technique from improv comedy. Basically this is a technique in which a comic joins and builds upon a skit.
This is also what we in the mental health community refer to as "starting where the client is." For example, if I have a client who is experiencing social anxiety, I do not tell them their fears are not real. Rather, we explore their fears and different ways to manage or counteract the anxiety.
Why does this work? Think about it. If you tell someone with Alzheimer's that they can't have a piece of cake because they are diabetic, when they do not remember they are diabetic, you are presenting information that is contrary to that person's reality or experience. The same can be said if you try to tell someone who is psychotic that the voices are not real. Basically, you are telling them that they are lying and this triggers frustration, anger, and defensiveness.
Try this trick in your everyday interactions and see how those interactions change.
If your mother says, "You aren't listening to me" say "Tell me more" rather than "Yes, I was."
If your husband says, "You never appreciate what I do" say "Tell me more" rather than "Yes, I do."
If your wife says, "You never clean up" say "Tell me more" rather than "Yes, I do."
If your child says, "You just don't understand me" say "Tell me more" rather than "You're wrong, I do understand."
If your boss says, "This project is not up to par" say "Tell me more" rather than "I worked all night on that project."
"One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say." Bryant H. McGill

In a January 1955 article titled "New Life for U.S. Jazz," LIFE magazine noted that the genre's popularity was growing faster than almost any other form of music (the Elvis-fueled rock and roll explosion was still roughly a year away) and celebrated jazz's surging appeal with a series of color portraits featuring jazz greats.
To the delight of an enlarging audience dedicated to the loudest of the lively arts, jazz is having the biggest time of its 60-odd-year life. . . . To the two main schools of American jazz -- New Orleans and Chicago -- another has been added: the West Coast school, whose audience has grown so quickly that a record album by West Coaster Dave Brubeck has outsold any put out by Liberace last fall. On these pages LIFE's Eliot Elisofon has assembled some of the giants of jazz in portraits conceived to capture the characteristic contribution of each to the lusty heritage of American music.
Now at its peak, jazz stands half in the great hot past and half in the promising future of "cool" counterpoint and heady harmonics. Its fans see and hear the ranking players at work in small clubs and big concerts. But it is largely the records, selling at seven times the rate they were selling five years ago, that have given jazz the widest audience in ts lavish history.
(Notably excluded from the portrait sessions: Miles Davis who, by the time Elisofon was creating these portraits in 1954, was acknowledged as a major player in the genre but was not yet the dominant — indeed, the defining — force in jazz that he was to become, alone and with the the likes of both Bill Evans and Gil Evans, in the later 1950s and the early 1960s.)
Here, on Ella Fitzgerald's birthday (she was born in Newport News, Va., on April 25, 1917), LIFE.com celebrates the one and only Queen of Jazz and other musical legends, as seen through Eliot Elisofon's singular lens.

March 31, 2011
The Oakmark Global Select Fund returned 5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to the MSCI World Index, which also returned 5% for the same period. Since inception, the Fund has returned an average of 6% per year, outperforming the MSCI World Index, which has averaged 1% per year over the same period.
One of the top contributors to performance for the quarter was SAP, a global software manufacturer based in Germany that returned 20%. In January, SAP reported better-than-expected 2010 results. SAP's core business – software and software-related services – grew 10% and overall group revenue grew 11%. A significant factor in our investment thesis is margin improvement, which management continues to deliver on. Both gross margin and operating margin increased in 2010. We believe management has proven to be good stewards of capital over time and SAP is a business with great economics that provides valuable solutions to its customer base and generates strong cash flow.
Another top contributor to performance was Capital One Financial, a U.S.-based diversified banking group, which returned 22%. Improved profitability has been aided by rapidly declining card charge-offs approaching levels not seen since the mid-2000s. These reduced credit costs added over $5 to per-share earnings in 2010 and similar effects are expected in 2011. Reduced charge-offs help highlight what we see as the company's strong underwriting culture and risk-averse management style. We believe Capital One will begin to experience loan growth in the low single digits due to greater demand and reduced charge-offs, as well as improved back-office management.
The largest detractor from performance for the quarter was U.S.-based electronics retailer Best Buy, which fell 16%. Shares declined amid continued concerns that consumers are becoming more price-sensitive and moving to competitors such as Wal-Mart and Amazon. The next few quarters look challenging, as the TV innovation cycle has paused and consumers remain more focused on price. However, to address increased competition from low-priced retailers, Best Buy plans to expand the inventory it offers online to make online price comparison easier for consumers. During the quarter, Best Buy reported same-store sales down 5% for 4Q10, but profitability was better than expected due to stronger gross margins and tighter cost controls. We think margins will continue to benefit from the company's shift to small-box mobile stores, which sell high-demand items like smartphones and tablets. Management has indicated that it will open only six to eight new big-box stores in 2011 (compared to 30 in 2010). We believe Best Buy remains a solid investment opportunity, especially at its current price of just 4x 2012 EBIT.
Another top detractor for the quarter was Daiwa Securities Group. Like the vast majority of Japan-based firms, Daiwa's stock price declined in March. We acknowledge that the company's operations will likely continue to be disrupted in the near term. However, because we don't believe the company's underlying fundamentals have changed, our long-term view of Daiwa's intrinsic value remains intact.
During the quarter, we eliminated our positions in Bank of America and Television-Francaise 1 and used the proceeds to purchase Danone, the French-based manufacturer of popular food brands such as Dannon and Evian. We also purchased Tyco Electronics, an electronics component and network solutions company. In March, Tyco Electronics changed its name to TE Connectivity.
We continue to defensively hedge the Fund's currency exposures. At quarter-end, approximately 53% of the Fund's Japanese yen and 53% of the Fund's Swiss franc exposures were hedged.
We thank you for your continued confidence and support.

A rock climbing gym, hotel and several retail shops are planned for the first phase of a new Arista development — the concept of which was presented Tuesday night at a Broomfield's City Council study session.
The development, which will have direct access to Wadsworth Parkway, Uptown Avenue, and Destination Drive, is at the southeast corner of Colo. 128 and Wadsworth Parkway.
Broomfield council members were enthusiastic about the rock climbing gym, which would take up 17,500 square feet of the development.
Jason Haas, owner of Gravity One, said the gym would have general cardio, free weights, a yoga studio and a "kid zone." For decades, the fitness industry meant running on a treadmill and lifting weights, he said, but rock climbing adds a mental component.
It also offers a communal opportunity, said Haas, who has lived a mile down the road from Arista for the nearly two decades. The company looked at a lot of places to build the gym, and was really drawn to the Broomfield/Arista area.
"I feel like it's my community," he said. "If you feel a part of your community, you take care of that community whether that's climbing, or your neighborhood, or your dog park. Ultimately, what I want to do is to build a community and my outlet for that is this climbing gym."
Joe Zepeda presented the project on behalf of Park 36 Investment, LLC, which owns Arista.
The plan includes about 143,000 square feet of commercial development, where the applicants also intend to build a bank and several other buildings in the future on the 18.4-acre site.
Arista is a 187-acre transit-oriented neighborhood between Wadsworth Parkway and U.S. 36, north of the W. 112th Avenue alignment. There currently is about 600,000 square feet of commercial development completed within Arista, including the 1stBank Center and two hospital buildings. So far, developers have built more than 1,200 residential units, including apartments, duplexes, townhomes, condos and live-work units.
The gym would include 55 -foot tall climbing walls to accommodate the competition-level of gym that Jason envisions. Inside would be two levels, with the first including most of the workout space, and the upper level will be mostly about bouldering for a different type of climbing experience.
"What we hope to do is provide recreational service for the entire new development and also provide that sense of community," Joe Hosek, of MOA Architecture in Denver, said.
MOA wants the development to be about the culture, and modern sensibilities, of the community.
"The design we're proposing really reflects that openness," Hosek said.
Planning and Zoning Commissioner Tom Silvers said the plan is a good development for this area, but felt there was a lot of parking for a transit-oriented space.
He suggested interjecting green space, such as rooftop gathering places. He asked the owners to consider that they'll need to keep the 360-degree view in mind when designing the architecture, and warned against too much signage along Wadsworth.
The proposed hotel would be four stories and include suites and amenities such as a fitness center, large breakfast serving area and meeting spaces. Developers are proposing 103 to 104 rooms.
Councilwoman Sharon Tessier brought up a dog park that was planned for the area, which developers said they hope to start soon. Hickory & Ash, a restaurant launched by chef and restaurateur Kevin Taylor, is expected to open the first week in June near the 1stBank Center.
ProsperOats, a Denver-based restaurant that serves healthy breakfast foods all day, also will be expanding to the area.

When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself. – Tecumseh
This morning I woke up without plans, a schedule, an agenda, or expectations – my thoughts completely open to whatever treasures the day might have in store for me…
Soon I found myself at the dining room table, thinking this might be a good time to work on taxes. I worked my way through wages, interest income, and the tuition deduction, and began working away on royalties. I added up print book royalties, e-book royalties, income from my husband's photography, and from mine, and then it occurred to me that I'd sold nine audiobooks during 2013. I figured I'd probably made a buck off each book, and it had all been automatically deposited in my account at some point. It almost didn't seem worth the effort to track it down, but being the responsible, conscientious tax-paying citizen I am, I went in search of some record of my audiobook royalties. I finally dug up this humongo envelope – a foot long and almost a foot wide – that I'd received from the audiobook publishing company back in October, and never opened. I thought maybe there'd be some record of royalties in there. But when I opened it up I found a check for $27 waiting for me! It had been issued on October 11th, and would be void in 180 days. After a quick calculation I realized it was within days of being voided out – if I hadn't started working on my taxes this morning, I never would have found that check in time!
I felt like I was looking at an unexpected gift – I had the same feeling you get when you find cash in your pocket that you forgot you put there.
I went to the bank, cashed the check, and bought myself some geraniums and marigolds for the flower boxes on our back deck. And now I'm sitting here, looking out on our deck, admiring the cheery newly-planted little flowers smiling back at me.
That little $27 check totally tickled me today. And it reaffirmed for me what I've already discovered – I can't always know what form Love's supply of good is going to take for me, but I can trust that there will always be something to tickle my heart. This week the tickling came in the form of an unexpected check, and a wave returned from a passenger on an Amtrak train as it zipped by, and meeting a new friend while I was looking for agates on a beach in Oregon, and getting a call from an old never-before-met-in-the-person friend saying she was going to be in Vancouver in two days on business and asking if we could meet for the first time face-to-face. It has been a great week. I expect it will be a great week next week, too. 🙂
Happiness often sneaks through a door you didn't know you left open. – John Barrymore

How Effective Is Your RA Treatment?
The goal of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment is threefold. One, to control the symptoms of RA. Two, to prevent damage to joints and internal organs. Three, to enhance your quality of life and your ability to function. Treatment consists of a variety of medication, including DMARDs, Biologics, and NSAIDs. There are a number of ways to monitor how effective your treatment is.
Treatment approach
Assessing the effectiveness of your treatment starts with the approach that is being used. You are more likely to make progress if the treat-to-target method of managing your RA is used. In this approach, your response to treatment is measured every three months, and if your RA is not controlled, the treatment is modified. This more aggressive way of treating RA has resulted in better outcomes.
Blood tests
Blood tests can be used to assess if your treatment is working. Anemia, a common symptom of RA, is indicated by a low hemoglobin test. As well, the inflammation markers CRP and ESR measure the levels of inflammation in your body. One drawback is that these tests measure general inflammation in your body. Their values increase with RA activity, but also when you have an infection.
The Vectra DA test
There is a newer test that specifically tests the level of RA activity. The Vectra DA blood test measures 12 biomarkers that are associated with RA activity, collecting them into one score that reflects how well your treatment is working. It complements your rheumatologist's assessment and physical exam. The Vectra test is only available in the US and is quite expensive.
Doctors frequently use imaging tests to check for damage in your joints or progression of damage, which can happen if your treatment is not working. X-rays are commonly used, but do have some limitations. Although they show damage that has happened in your bones, they do not indicate soft tissue inflammation or low levels of damage.
MRI and CT
Both the CT scan and the MRI can offer a more detailed look at what's going on inside your body, including your bones, soft tissue, and blood vessels. One drawback to the CT scan is that it can expose you to a quite high dose of radiation. An MRI can detect damage six months prior to an x-ray, but it is an expensive test.
Ultrasound is a fairly new addition to the imaging tests used to assess how well treatment is working in people with RA. It can be used to detect both erosion in the bone, as well as inflammation. It is also a fairly inexpensive test. Because its use in rheumatology is new, it is not yet widespread, as rheumatologists and technicians need training in order to use it effectively.
Energy levels
Often, one of the first signs that a medication is suppressing RA is an increase in energy. If you're less tired and have less brain fog, it's an excellent sign that you're getting better. Conversely, if you're consistently more tired without doing more than your normal tasks, it may be an indication to talk to your rheumatologist about whether your treatment needs adjusting.
How are your symptoms?
The classic RA symptoms of swelling and pain in the joints, morning stiffness, and low-grade fevers can also indicate the effectiveness of your treatment. Maybe your morning stiffness doesn't last quite as long, or is as intense as it used to be. Perhaps you have less flares, pain, and your joints aren't squishy with swelling. These all point to the medication doing its job.
Quality of life
Ultimately, the effective treatment of your RA is designed to give you quality of life, both physically and emotionally. When your RA is controlled, you are able to participate in your life, your family, and your community. If you are satisfied with the quality of life which your health enables you to attain, the treatment is a success.
