- Lens Diameter : In some cases, it is also called lens width or lens depth. It refers to the horizontal width of your lenses. If you need complex lenses like varifocals, wider lenses will allow for a wider vision field.
- Bridge Width : It is determined by how large your facial profile is. For larger noses and wider faces, frames with bridge width above 20mm will fit you well.
- Arm Length : It is also an important factor while you are looking for a pair of comfortable glasses. Larger faces may need frames with arm length above 140mm.

How Does Your Frame Fit
The width of your frame is determined by the overall length of the front frame, from the very right endpiece to the left. Usually, it is the most important factor which helps you find a frame that fits very well.
Narrow (S)
If you have a narrow face, it's better to choose frames with a width under 130mm. A frame that is too wide will make your eyes look too close.
Medium (M)
Medium faces can choose frames with a width ranging from 130mm to 139mm.
Wide (L)
Wider faces can pick frames with a width more than 140mm. If your frame is too narrow for you, it will exaggerate the width of your face.
Your Frame Measurements
Look at the inside of your frame arm, you can find three figures, like 52-16-140. The first number represents the diameter of your lens, and second the bridge width and third the total length of your arm. If you have problems with how to pick a frame online that fit you well, you can check these figures for reference.

Last June, MSCI announced that it would be reclassifying Qatar and the United Arab Emirates as emerging rather than frontier markets starting this year, and in May that reclassification will tilt the composition of both frontier and emerging market indexes and funds in ways that demand attention.
That will be followed in September by a similar reclassification of the two countries from frontier to emerging markets by S&P Dow Jones Indices, which announced its intent last September.
Frontier markets are, of course, considered the riskiest among world markets in which to invest, since some of the countries included in that category may not even have functioning stock markets. Sectors usually found in frontier markets include those that bring in regular monthly payments from customers – such as telecommunications, financial and consumer-oriented companies – and are often less liquid, provide less transparency than offerings in more developed markets and carrier higher investment fees as well.
Currencies in frontier markets may fluctuate more often and to a greater degree than in more developed markets. In addition, frontier markets are often located in countries that are less politically stable, providing other risks – anything from revolution to nationalization.
Emerging markets are farther down the road toward development, providing more political and economic stability, additional transparency, better liquidity and more developed stock markets. However, they still offer greater risk than developed markets, if perhaps in different areas. In addition, their rate of growth may not be as swift as in frontier markets, which may have greater potential as markets advance and businesses grow – hence their allure.
While funds concentrating on frontier markets have been able to provide healthy returns over the last several months – MSCI's FM (Frontier Market) Index, for example, has seen a 19.5% increase over the 12 months ending March 28, compared with MSCI's EM (Emerging Market) Index, which is down 4.62% over the same period – that could change once Qatar and the UAE shift positions.
There are three reasons for that, according to Amrita Bagaria, ETF product manager at Van Eck Global.
First, said Bagaria, "For folks who are holding an ETF that tracks a frontier market index like MSCI, they won't get exposure to those two countries any more. They're the second and third largest in the index, so [they make up] almost 40% of the index. It's a big deal."
Second is the fact that once those two countries are classified with emerging market nations, "they will have a much smaller effect" on any index or fund in which they're included. Bagaria pointed out that Qatar and the UAE "will be competing with China, India and Russia, so they'll be present in a significantly smaller allocation. If you wanted exposure [specifically to those two countries], it would be quite diluted by BRICS and other emerging markets that are much larger."
Third is the fact that, among the nations of the gulf, which also include Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE are the ones that have had the largest return on investment. Once the latter two are recategorized, it's likely that the returns of the remaining frontier market countries will be lower.
Bagaria said, "These two countries over the last couple of years have performed extraordinarily well. So we think you should stick with them even though they won¹t be included in frontier markets anymore."
Van Eck Global's Market Vectors Gulf States ETF (MES) is one way to do that. MES offers pure-play exposure to companies domiciled in the countries that make up the Gulf Cooperation Council region, which includes Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
According to Van Eck, MES has brought in returns of 38.07% during the 12 months ended March 28, and provides investors with exposure to the sectors that have driven much of the growth in the council's region: financial, industrial and telecommunications. With more than 85% of MES' holdings made up of Kuwaiti, Qatari and UAE companies, as long as those countries continue to experience growth, so should returns.
Money has been flowing to investments in the two countries, with actively managed funds boosting holdings, and that appears unlikely to change in the near future. Another fund offering exposure to the two that will not be affected by their change in status is WisdomTree's Middle East Dividend Fund (GULF).
In addition, investors holding iShares' MSCI Frontier 100 ETF (FM) might decide to investigate instead its MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM), since Qatar and the UAE will be relocated there.
Whatever investors decide to do, Bagaria said that the UAE and Qatar, as the two largest countries in MES, with the former making up 38.8% as of the end of February and the latter 25.2%, "we've obviously been very, very pleased with their performance."
That's one thing not likely to change in the near future.

NEW YORK (AP) - Broadway marquees will be dimmed in memory of a Tony- and Emmy-winning actress who epitomized New York and the theater world.
Elaine Stritch died Thursday at age 89 in her home state of Michigan. She was far from her longtime adopted home. But Broadway - and New York - immediately sent their love.
The marquees of the Great White Way will be dimmed for one minute at 7:45 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday.
The feisty actress found new fans as Alec Baldwin's mother on television's '30 Rock.' But she was best known for her stage work - especially her candid one-woman memoir and in the Stephen Sondheim musical 'Company.'
Broadway League Executive Director Charlotte St. Martin says Stritch will always be remembered as an important part of Broadway's rich history.

In communities throughout the nation, Christians are showing a heightened sense of responsibility for the poor and the homeless. Each week AGRM receives several requests for help in setting up new ministries to the homeless. Below is a step-by-step guide to laying the foundation for a successful rescue ministry. Being aware of the four basic failure factors below, and working to avoid them in the early stages of your ministry, will help to ensure your success and provide a good reputation for your mission:
Immature or unqualified leadership
Disunity among staff
Poor/negative image in the community
Lack of financial resources and accountability
As you follow the New Mission Planning Guide, you will be laying a solid foundation for meeting the needs of those the Lord has entrusted to your care. Regularly refer to the New Mission Checklist to help you focus and keep track of your progress. If you have never worked in a rescue mission or similar ministry setting before, it is very strongly recommended that you start out by volunteering with a local mission for at least three months prior to getting started.
A recent survey conducted among directors of some expansion ministries asked several questions dealing with the details of starting a rescue mission. Read answers to "What Does it Take to Start a Rescue Mission?" to gain some valuable insight into the commitment that is required to start a rescue ministry in any setting.
For more information on starting a mission please contact Selena Hayle, Expansion Coordinator


text: Friday, March 15, 2013 APTA Moves Forward With Development of an Alternative Payment System A new message from APTA President Paul A. Rockar Jr, PT, DPT, MS, and Steve Levine, PT, DPT, MSHA, chair of the Alternative Payment System Task Force, provides an update on the alternative payment system (APS), now known as the physical therapy classification and payment system (PTCPS), for outpatient physical therapy services. In their message, Rockar and Levine outline the progression of the proposed payment model and the need for a comprehensive plan "to maximize the opportunity for successful transition to a physical therapy classification and payment system." In addition to the message, APTA members can access an executive summary and a full report of the survey results that were used to refine the first APS developmental draft, which was sent in spring 2012 to association members for comment. The second developmental draft of the APS/PTCPS will be available to members shortly. APTA expects to transition to a new outpatient therapy payment system by January 1, 2015. Comments In accord with my previous feedback on this payment system, I must reiterate that it will accomplish the opposite of some of the APTA's core value goals, while creating incentive to provide the least-skilled level of care, undermine our efforts to establish Physical Therapists as the "primary care providers of choice for neuromusculoskeletal disorders," and launch us backward in the progress we've made in establishing our autonomy and value in the outpatient physical therapy services world. Please, Mr. Rockar and Mr. Levine, tell me, tell us all, how this will help those of in the outpatient world, who are not in a hospital or physician owned practice, and tell us all how this will actually improve the level of care for our patients. After reviewing the available information twice, I still do not understand how APS will be a good thing for patients and practitioners, outside of encouraging PT business owners to dilute their quality of care as much as possible to protect their profit margin. Mr. Levine and Mr. Rockar, I have been an APTA member for many years, and you are not listening to us, you do not have our, or our patients', best interest fully in mind with this proposal. I don't know how to get in touch with you directly, so if you don't respond to this request publicly, maybe someone reading this can clue you in. You can reach me at email@example.com. Posted by Kenneth Ballenger -> >FWaDK on 3/15/2013 3:53 PM Call me doubtful. When insurance companies are left unchecked, they will continue to set payment as they wish and able to get by with reducing payments by 17% in one fell swoop (as we recently experienced with Humana). It's a joke...should hedge my bets by taking stock in every health insurance company. They know what they are doing to maximize profits for themselves. Posted by Greg Given on 3/15/2013 4:41 PM Kenneth, your email would not go through, returned as undeliverable. Steve Levine is the principle at FearonLevine.com and his email is email@example.com Email him and he is good at returning emails. We would like to know what he said. Posted by Karen Nugent on 3/15/2013 8:46 PM My fear is reimbursement reductions will force us to compromise our care. If a patient needs basic unsupervised exercises no problem. But labor intensive professional services such as manual therapy, dry needling, ASTYM, etc. will be provided at an additional cost. Posted by Charles Hollier on 3/16/2013 7:25 AM Agree with Kenneth Ballenger's well-spoken critique of Rockar and Levine's payment system. Further, the 1990 Resource Based Relative Value System (RBRVS) upon which the Medicare Physicians' Fee Schedule is based was designed to reward "the thinking component of the physician-patient encounter". The APTA Alternative Payment System uses similar language to justify its creation. Supposedly, physical therapists will conduct skilled physical therapy tests and measurements to justify the higher level APS codes (12 in all). Instead of reward "thinking", however, the RBRVS rewards procedures. The period of the 1990's and the first decades of the twenty first century has seen (until recently) unparalleled medical cost increases. In part, because the RBRVS has created "code inflation" whereby physicians are incentivized to code the highest level Evaluation and Management (E&M) code. Ironically, Electronic Medical Records (EMR) use 'cut-and-paste' features to quickly puff up physicians' notes that can justify the higher level E&M codes. One of the primary authors of the APTA Alternative Payment System owns and sells an EMR whose main feature appears to be defense against Medicare audits. I can only imagine how future EMRs will puff up PT notes with cut and paste to allow the highest level APS code. Tim Posted by Tim Richardson on 3/16/2013 6:54 PM I find this interesting as the APTA is bending over backwards to compromise, because they have no business sense. Lets look at the AMA, every MD is required to be a member and they make sure every MD gets paid, sticking to policy to ensure that occurs. AMA threatens congress that MD's will not see medicare patients, and congress kicks the law or abandons it. We as PT's have no such unity nor is APTA's interest to keep outpatient clinics viable. Hospital's do not want OP PT due to financial profitability. How do owners of private practice pay their staff? Run a sweatshop see 20-30 patients a day to run down your therapist until they're on disability. Then try to create more "cash" programs to counter the cuts in reimbursement. Universities pump out PT students who they've made their money via loans and education. What are new grads to do? Researchers get grants and keep pumping out articles. What is the workforce to do? Get ready for functional reporting, take 50% MPPR cuts, have private insurers pay PT less then what personal trainers make, because is that what we are in insurance companies eyes? I tell our volunteers/aides find another profession, I'm a proud PT and is my passion but it will never bring financial security. I have another career to make money and PT has become a hobby I gladly enjoy. Posted by NP on 3/17/2013 1:48 AM Everyone is a critic, but no one has any better solutions. The timed code system is quite outdated and requires extensive utilization of our and the patients time. More time does not equate to better outcomes as many articles describing over treatment of LBP have displayed. Providing quality, efficient care should be at the forefront of any and all health care professionals and they should not be obligated to spend a required amount of time with patients simply to get paid. The business sense of physical therapist is quite lacking, if you don't like the insurance contracts then don't sign them and go out of network or cash based. I don't mean to play devil's advocate, but there is plenty of money to be made if you know what your doing. Take a couple business classes, improve your manual therapy and you'll be just fine. Posted by Noah on 3/18/2013 12:01 PM I fully agree with NP. Our organization is failing private practice PT's today and the whole arena of Physical Therapy as we move forward. The APTA over the past few years has been wrapped up with a "doctoring" profession but lost sight of our true skill set and value to the medicine. As a master clinician and clinic owner I see my expertise and skill being devalued as medicine continues to change and I see no support from the APTA. Physical Therapists are known to be caring, compassionate people but come on folks....we should get paid for our services at a rate that reflects our education and expertise. Frankly, I am glad I am in the twighlite of my career and have other venues of opportunity. Posted by CK on 3/19/2013 9:35 AM Mr. Levine was kind enough to contact me directly through email, which I appreciate. I've posted it below. However, my questions were not answered. So I'm posting my reply to Mr. Levine below as well, hoping to be more clear on my questions; "Mr. Ballenger, I have read your post below that was placed on the APTA Community in response to the PTNow article: APTA Moves Forward With Development of an Alternative Payment System I would be happy to have a conversation with you to better understand your thoughts on this matter as well as provide you with an overview of the current health policy environment that has resulted in the development of the current model and the data-driven activities that have brought APTA to this point in the process. We have collected extensive data from members in all settings, including most in private practice, who are very supportive of the overall direction of the APS, now called the Physical Therapy Classification and Payment System (PTCPS), and I would be happy to provide you some of that information as well. Also, on the same website where you posted your comment to the PTNow article is a direct link to all APTA Board members, which includes our direct email addresses, so feel free to use that contact information whenever you would like to contact Dr. Rockar or any board member. As volunteer leaders elected to serve the best interests of the profession, this contact information is available for just this purpose. If you would like to arrange a time to talk, please email me some times that you would be available, and I would be happy to arrange a time to discuss this issue. Regards, Steve" Steve, Thank you for your response. I was a bit surprised to be honest. I was even more surprised by direct emails that I received from grateful peers around the country that feel the same way I do. You don't need to have a conversation with me, you need to have a conversation with the public, and answer the questions in my post below. How does PTCPS improve our autonomy? How does this contribute to establishing ourselves as primary care providers of choice for neuromusculoskeletal disorders? How will PTCPS improve the level of care that our patients receive, or rather, how will it promote anything other than minimizing the quality contact time that a therapist has with a patient? How will this improve our already-low reimbursement? There are many of us in the private practice world that fight like mad to be able to practice in accordance with Vision 20/20. We are the ones driving the slowly building awareness and positive reputation of the physical therapy industry in the outpatient world. It takes a massive amount of effort, sacrifice, and money to do so, and I just don't see how PTCPS is going to help us in our battles to achieve Vision 20/20. I don't have a hospital system behind me to fall back on for resources, and I haven't sold out to any physician groups either. So how about those of us out there struggling to continue to provide the quality service that our patients deserve, how is PTCPS going to help us do that? I have been enrolled in the Evidence In Motion Private Practice Management DPT course for the past several months, and as I gain more insight into running a private practice, I feel stumped when trying to figure out how PTCPS is going to be anything other than a threat to our survival. I would encourage you to post this, with your responses, on the same page as my original posting. Bruk Ballenger Posted by Bruk Ballenger on 3/19/2013 3:20 PM Dear Mr. Ballenger: Payment has always been a hotly debated topic. When the APTA Board of Directors first endorsed the development of an alternative payment system for outpatient physical therapist services in 2011, we expected -- and welcomed – intense interest and differing perspectives from our members. We knew that without honest input from our members working in practice today, we could not develop a classification and payment system that accurately reflects and accounts for the needs of physical therapists and patients. We sincerely appreciate your questions and concerns, and we remain committed to an open and active dialogue on the proposal as it is further refined and developed. As we all know, physical therapists across the country are facing unprecedented challenges in the form of increased regulations and payment cuts. In addition to Medicare cuts that will go into effect April 1 as the result of the recent sequestration, the profession will also be faced with additional decreases in payment through the multiple procedure payment reduction. These cuts will also go into effect April 1 unless Congress acts to delay implementation. APTA has advocated intensely against these unjustified and capricious policies, and we will continue to do so. However, in the absence of congressional action, it is becoming more and more clear that payment reform is inevitable, and APTA needs to be a leader in advancing an alternative payment model that best represents the clinical expertise physical therapists can bring to the health care system. The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 mandated an alternative to the Medicare therapy cap. It was the APTA Board of Directors' decision to collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to develop a system that best describes today's physical therapist's interactions with patients, rather than having a system thrust upon us by those who do not adequately understand our education, skills, knowledge, and expertise. (Continued …) Posted by Paul A. Rockar Jr and Stephen M. Levine on 3/20/2013 6:09 PM (Continuing …) As we know from health reform proposals being advanced from both ends of the political spectrum, payment in the future will be based on data that demonstrates value and patient engagement. Providers will be required to report their outcomes, and they will get paid accordingly. APTA embraces a change from today's system -- which relies simply on performing procedures and modalities without any link to their impact on a patient's functional improvement -- to a new model that rewards providers who provide the best known care to the right patient at the right time. This is the objective of APTA's proposed alternative payment system, now known as the physical therapy classification and payment system (PTPCS). All along, our goal has been to reform payment for outpatient physical therapy services to improve quality of care, recognize and promote the clinical judgment of the physical therapist, and provide policymakers and payers with an accurate payment system that ensures the integrity of medically necessary services. To do this, we must transition from the current fee-for-service, procedural-based payment system to a per session payment system. APTA believes that a system that categorizes patients based on the severity of their condition and intensity of the interventions required better reflects the professional clinical reasoning/judgment and decision making by the physical therapist, improves provider compliance, reduces administrative burdens surrounding current payment models, and is consistent with and enhances payer recognition of the value of physical therapist-directed care. (Continued…) Posted by Paul A. Rockar Jr and Stephen M. Levine on 3/20/2013 6:11 PM (Continuing…) The guiding principles of the PTCPS, when understood in the context of the likely future of payment for physical therapy services, are representative of the majority's thoughts based on survey responses provided by the membership. Understandably, it is the nature of how we get to these goals that presents challenges in communicating to colleagues when movement in this arena is occurring day-to-day if not minute-to-minute, in the midst of an unbelievably challenging payment environment. To achieve this reformed payment system for outpatient physical therapist services, changes to the existing Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) coding system, which describes services based on 15-minute time-based units and direct one on one contact, would be necessary. We understand that establishing new codes that physical therapists report for their services will be a significant change that will require therapists to learn the new codes and update billing systems. This process will require us to abandon hard earned and hard set ways of practicing and managing that will no longer work in the environment we are in the midst of navigating. We certainly understand the volatility of the current environment and the fear that "the devil you know" will be better than the "devil you don't," and we realize this may cause some to question the direction of the model being proposed by APTA. But please know that we have been engaged with this process for several years and have obtained advice and participation from some of the best payment and regulatory experts in the country. (Continued…) Posted by Paul A. Rockar Jr and Stephen M. Levine on 3/20/2013 6:13 PM (Continuing…) While no proposed system will be perfect or accepted by everyone based on individual biases and continuous displays of unwarranted variation in the practice of physical therapy, we believe the proposal that is now being considered by the AMA Workgroup represents the best possible option for the implementation of a payment system that most accurately reflects contemporary physical therapist practice. Further, with elimination of many of the existing codes that therapists report and the many associated edits, we believe that administrative burden will be reduced. This bundled approach to the codes will result in more appropriate valuation of therapy services that better reflects the patient's condition and the clinical judgment of the therapist. APTA's objective is to provide the best system forward that improves quality of care, recognizes the value of physical therapist services, and ensures appropriate accountability for all health care providers. APTA is committed to helping its members manage the current challenging environment, while also positioning the profession appropriately for the health care system of the future. We encourage you to continue to engage and participate in the solution to payment reform. Sincerely, Paul A. Rockar Jr, PT, DPT, MS, President, American Physical Therapy Association, and Stephen M. Levine, PT, DPT, MSHA, Chair, Alternative Payment System Task Force Posted by Paul A. Rockar Jr and Stephen M. Levine on 3/20/2013 6:14 PM Thanks for the comments Dr. Rocker. As a physical therapy student researching the future of reimbursement, your insight is very helpful. Posted by Joshua Hall -> AOT^@J on 7/19/2014 2:44 PM

Top 1000 Advisors

Top 1000 Financial Advisors by State for 2013
Top 1000 Financial Advisors by State for 2012
Top 1000 Financial Advisors by State for 2011
The markets are humming along, housing is stabilizing, and inflation is under control. So financial advisors and their clients can, at long last, relax -- right? Nope, says Kimberlee Orth, an Ameriprise Financial advisor in Wilmington, Del. "This ride is not over yet," she says with a laugh. "Do not get comfortable!"
With an anemic economy, a dysfunctional government, and a bloated bond market, there is indeed plenty of reason for anxiety. That helps explain why clients are increasingly turning to the best advisors. The average assets for America's top 1,000 advisors stand at $2.1 billion, up from $1.7 billion in 2012 and $1.6 billion in 2011, according to an annual Barron's survey. In this special report, we put a spotlight on that group. You'll find tables listing the best advisors in each state and profiles of the No. 1s in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, including their latest recommendations.
The biggest challenge the advisors have been facing is finding decent yield for income-starved clients. Over the past couple of years, bonds and dividend stocks have fit the bill nicely. But bond returns are now paltry, and any rise in interest rates will make them even less attractive. A retiree with a $100,000 portfolio of safe, short-term bonds used to be able to count on $4,000 or $5,000 of yearly income. Today that same portfolio might earn just a few hundred dollars, says Drew Zager, an advisor with Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Management in Los Angeles.
At the same time, a stampede into dividend stocks has made yield harder to find in that arena. "I do believe the market for high-dividend-paying stocks has been picked over," says Jerry Klein, an advisor with Merrill Lynch Wealth Management in Los Angeles. Klein adds that dividend plays are still out there, but they're in the form of companies with high free cash flow and the ability to increase dividends -- think Qualcomm or Apple.
Profiles: Top Advisor in Each State
Table: Top 1,000 Advisors by State
The hunt for yield has advisors on the lookout for nonpublic investments. For Klein, that includes everything from private master limited partnerships to mezzanine debt to senior-loan funds. In Omaha, Neb., Ron Carson's team has raised $50 million from clients for an operation that will buy homes and rent them.
ONE CLEAR THEME AMONG THE ADVISORS for 2013, not surprisingly, is an increasing commitment to stocks. Barry Barlow, an advisor with Merrill Lynch Wealth Management in Louisville, Ky., had a stock weighting in his typical client's portfolio of 55% last year. By the middle of this year, he expects that to move to 65%.
Some of the shift to equities is rooted in pure enthusiasm for the stock market's prospects. Jennifer Kelley, an advisor with Wells Fargo Advisors in Burlington, Vt., predicts that "the next 10 years will be amazing" for the asset class.
But others are not so much turning to stocks as they are turning away from bonds. Rod Westmoreland, an advisor with Merrill Lynch Wealth Management in Atlanta, is one of many who see major interest-rate risk in bonds. Should interest rates rise significantly, bonds' value will drop accordingly.
"Right now most people are selling equities to buy bonds, and we think that's the wrong trade," says Westmoreland, who has slashed bond holdings and added more weight to global stocks and private equity.
Other advisors argue that the new tax environment has diminished the attractiveness of taxable fixed-income and forced investors to take on more risk. "With things like taxable corporates and junk, you're paying a lot more in taxes than last year," says Zager, who notes that residents of states like New York and California can find their yields halved by taxes. "We think this is going to push more investors to munis, preferred stocks, and common stocks."
INDEED, RECENT DATA SHOW what may be the beginnings of a shift away from bonds and toward stocks. Investor money poured almost uninterrupted from stock funds from May 2011 until early this year, according to data from the Investment Company Institute, the mutual-fund industry trade group.
But net inflows into stock funds have been positive over the most recent four weeks, to the tune of $29.5 billion. Those flows surpassed the $28.1 billion that flowed into bond funds over the same period, according to ICIa striking turnabout from the prior trend.
From now on, "we'll see [flows] at least being more balanced between equity and bond funds," predicts Zager.
For the past few years, many advisors have had a tough time getting balky clients out of cash and into the market. Now they're starting to face the opposite challenge of keeping clients from getting in over their heads. "I am starting to get comments from clients along the lines of, 'Do you think we should ramp up our stock exposure in my portfolio?' " says Orth.
With the Dow near a record high, advisors are finding it hard to manage clients' expectations for stock returns. Many investors expect the 10% returns of another era, but 7% or 8% is more realistic right now, says Klein.
To be sure, advisors aren't abandoning fixed income. But they are generally keeping maturities short as a hedge against interest-rate risk. Many have been shifting to municipal bonds and to foreign bonds both for their attractive rates and as a hedge against a weakening dollar. Others have embraced floating-rate bank loans as a hedge against rising interest rates. Zager is currently enthusiastic about cushion bonds -- callable bonds that are less sensitive to changes in interest rates.
When it comes to picking stocks, meanwhile, many say they're feeling confident about large-cap growth stocks; the economy could be firming up for a long-term expansion, and large companies along with it. "It feels like this market is going to get some legs under it," says Orth. Such stocks are still attractively priced, say advisors like Troy Nelson, an Edward Jones advisor in Bismarck, N.D.
Others are upbeat about overseas blue-chip dividend stocks. In Europe, for instance, fears of political and economic disintegration haven't played out, but they have helped drive valuations to attractive levels, says Andrew Burish, a UBS advisor in Madison, Wis.
Though 2008 may be fading from view, the best advisors have used its lessons to improve their businesses. For Orth, the crash added impetus to a new commitment to client communications. Lately, her team has been calling clients to discuss topics like the fiscal cliff, the election, and tax-law changes.
"We've learned that clients want to hear from us proactively," she says.
OUR TOP 1,000 ARE CLEARLY an experienced group. The typical member has been in the industry for 26 years, with 19 years at their current firms. They're generally backed up by teams of about 10 people and boast client-retention rates of about 98% annually. They focus on wealthy families the average net worth is $24 million. While the average account size of the group is $12 million, some of the advisors, as you'll see in the profiles that follow, focus on far more modest sums.
The full ranking is presented state by state, with greater numbers of advisors shown for the bigger states. It's based on assets under management, revenue generated for the advisors' firms, and the quality of their practices. The ranking differs from our annual listing of America's top 100 advisors, which ranks advisors against their peers nationwide. That listing is due to be published on April 15.

Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a complex, chronic disorder characterized by an inflamed or irritated bladder wall. It can lead to scarring and stiffening of the bladder, decreased bladder capacity, and glomerulations (pinpoint bleeding). IC may also be known as:
The cause of IC is still unknown and patients do not respond to antibiotic medication. Researchers are investigating many theories to understand the causes of IC and to determine appropriate treatments. Most people with IC find that certain foods make their symptoms worse, including most commonly: citrus fruits, tomatoes, chocolate, and coffee, and potassium-rich foods. Other foods that bother many patients are alcoholic beverages, caffeinated beverages, spicy foods, and some carbonated beverages.
The following are the most common symptoms of IC. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Stress may also intensify symptoms, but stress does not cause symptoms to occur.
The symptoms of IC may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
Because there is no definitive test to diagnose IC, and because symptoms of IC are similar to other urinary disorders, a variety of diagnostic tests and procedures may be necessary. In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for IC may include the following:
Specific treatment for IC will be determined by your doctor based on:
Currently, there is no specific way to diagnose IC, and no cure for IC, making it difficult to treat. Thus, treatments are primarily focused on relieving symptoms, and may include:
Management of IC may also include:
Consult your doctor with any questions of concerns you may have regarding this condition.

News Release
Kansas Firm Recalls Ground Beef Products Due To Possible E. coli O157:H7 Contamination
Congressional and Public Affairs
Lilia McFarland (202) 720-9113
Editor's Note: This recall is being updated to include additional packaging and distribution information.
WASHINGTON, June 18, 2013 – National Beef Packing Co., a Liberal, Kan., establishment, is recalling approximately 22,737 pounds of raw ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The following products are subject to recall:
• 10 lb. packages of "National Beef" 80/20 Coarse Ground Chuck, package code "0481."
• 10 lb. packages of "National Beef" 81/19 Coarse Ground Beef, package code "0421."
• 10 lb. packages of "National Beef" 80/20 Fine Ground Chuck, package code "0484."
All these products have a "USE BY/SELL BY DATE" of June 14, 2013, and bear the establishment number "EST. 208A" inside the USDA mark of inspection. The products were produced on May 25, 2013, and shipped to various institutions and retail establishments in Texas, Tennessee, Kansas, Mississippi, Illinois, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, and Arizona. FSIS and the establishment are concerned that some product may be frozen and in shoppers' freezers.
The problem was discovered through routine FSIS monitoring which confirmed a positive result for E.coli O157:H7. An investigation determined the firm was the sole supplier of the source materials used to produce the positive product. FSIS and the company have received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of these products.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.
FSIS advises all consumers to safely prepare their raw meat products, including fresh and frozen, and only consume ground beef that has been cooked to a temperature of 160° F. The only way to confirm that ground beef is cooked to a temperature high enough to kill harmful bacteria is to use a food thermometer that measures internal temperature.
E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause dehydration, bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps 2-8 days (3-4 days, on average) after exposure to the organism. While most people recover within a week, some develop a type of kidney failure called HUS. This condition can occur among persons of any age but is most common in children under 5-years old and older adults. Symptoms of HUS may include fever, abdominal pain, pale skin tone, fatigue and irritability, small, unexplained bruises or bleeding from the nose and mouth, decreased urination, and swelling. Persons who experience these symptoms should seek emergency medical care immediately.
Consumers with questions should contact the company at (877) 857-4143 for details about the recall and their return and reimbursement policy. Media with questions regarding the recall should contact the company's spokesperson, Keith Welty, at (816) 713-8631. Additional information can be found at www.nationalbeef.com.
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov. The toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) is available in English and Spanish and can be reached from l0 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday. Recorded food safety messages are available 24 hours a day.
Wash hands before and after handling raw meat with warm/hot (preferred) or cold soapy running water by rubbing hands together vigorously for at least 20 seconds. Also wash cutting boards, dishes and utensils with hot (preferred), soapy water and clean up any spills right away. The mechanical action of vigorous rubbing of hands and utensils/surfaces creates friction that helps to dislodge bacteria and viruses from hands and surfaces.
Additionally, warm/hot water helps to dissolve fats/foods, aiding in cleaning/microbe removal and can also assist in deactivation of pathogens. For more information on hand washing, go to http://www.cdc.gov/handwashing.
Keep raw meat, fish and poultry away from other food that will not be thoroughly cooked. Use separate cutting boards for raw meat, poultry, and their juices and thoroughly cooked foods. Thoroughly cook ground meat such as beef to an internal temperature of 160º F, as measured with a food thermometer, before eating. Refrigerate raw meat and poultry within two hours after purchase (one hour if temperatures exceed 90º F). Refrigerate cooked meat and poultry within two hours after cooking.

Template:Article summary heading Template:Article summary wiki linux-pf mercurial repository
Patchset changelog Template:Article summary end
Linux-pf is a kernel package based on the stock -ARCH kernel, patched with a row of significant patches:
- The latest Con Kolivas' -ck patchset, including BFS
- TuxOnIce
- BFQ (as default I/O scheduler)
- LinuxIMQ
The reference PKGBUILD can be found at the AUR linux-pf page and at the bitbucket.org mercurial repository. Precompiled packages, generic and CPU-family optimized are uploaded at the pfkernel unofficial repository, usually within 6 hours of the AUR update for x86_64 and 2 days for i686. Append the following to
/etc/pacman.conf to activate the pfkernel repo:
[pfkernel] # Generic and optimized binaries of the ARCH kernel patched with BFS, TuxOnIce, BFQ, IMQ, Aufs3 # linux-pf, kernel26-pf, gdm-old, nvidia-pf, nvidia-96xx, xchat-greek, arora-git Server = http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11734958/$arch
Running pacman -Syyl pfkernel will update all repos and show the available packages from pfkernel.
There's a number of options a user is asked to choose from, should he/she select to compile from the PKGBUILD:
==> Hit <Y> to use your running kernel's config (needs IKCONFIG and IKCONFIG_PROC) ==> Hit <L> to run 'make localmodconfig' ==> Hit <N> (or just <ENTER>) to build an all-inclusive kernel like stock -ARCH (warning: it can take a looong time)
The <Y> option is for users who have already compiled and are running a custom kernel. The PKGBUILD reads the running kernel's configuration and uses it for the subsequent compilation. The <L> option tries some kind of autodetection of the user's hardware: it first tries to use the modprobed_db module database, then falls back to the linux kernel's make localmodconfig functionality. The last option is self-explanatory.
==> Kernel configuration options before build: <M> make menuconfig (console menu) <N> make nconfig (newer alternative to menuconfig) <G> make gconfig (needs gtk) <X> make xconfig (needs qt) <O> make oldconfig <ENTER> to skip configuration and start compiling
Choose one of these to use your favourite user interface for configuring the kernel. Note that the last option might still prompt with unresolved/new configuration options, if you have selected <Y> or <L> in the previous step.
==> Hit <ENTER>: to create a package named linux-pf regardless of the CPU selected in config (recommended) ==> Hit <P> : to create a package named after the selected CPU (e.g. linux-pf-core2 - for advanced users)
If you have selected a specific CPU optimization for your kernel in the previous step, choosing <P> here will append the CPU to the package name. This way, a subsequent package update from the repository will pull the optimized package and not the generic one.
After the compilation finishes, an additional linux-pf-headers package will be created. Don't forget to install it too, if you plan on using additional modules like nvidia or virtualbox. During the kernel installation, mkinitcpio will be called to create the initramfs.
If you intend to use TuxOnIce for hibernation, make sure you have added the necessary modules to the MODULES array of
/etc/mkinitcpio.conf and at least the resume hook to the HOOKS array:
MODULES="... lzo tuxonice_compress tuxonice_swap tuxonice_userui ..." HOOKS="... sata userui resume filesystems ..."
In the example above, TuxOnIce is setup to use a swap partition as the suspended image allocator. The resume hook must be placed before filesystems. Also, a progress indicator is requested with userui. Please read the TuxOnIce wiki page for more detailed information.
/etc/hibernate/tuxonice.conf until it gets fixed. This workaround has been confirmed to work, adding only 1-2 seconds of delay to hibernation.
Tweaks / Tips
- If you notice disk-related performance problems or occational hickups, it might be an I/O scheduler issue. Try a different one than the linux-pf default (BFQ) by echoing to
/sys/block/sda/queue/schedulercfq, noop or deadline: echo noop >| /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler. Note, the aforementioned command only sets the I/O scheduler for the 1st hard drive and additional echos will be needed if you have more. If the situation improves, then append "elevator=cfq" (or noop or deadline) to the linux-pf command line in
/boot/grub/menu.lst, to make the change permanent.
- For people who build their own tailored kernels and compilation aborts with with an error about "missing include/config/dvb/*.h files", setting <M> at DVB for Linux at Device Drivers/Multimedia support and leaving everything else out, creates just the necessary dvb.h, which allows the compilation to continue.
Forum thread for linux-pf
There's a discussion thread at the BBS for reporting errors, impressions, ideas and requests.

Cub Scout advancement policies
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
(Quoted from 33088, pp. 18-21)
Cub Scouting is home- and neighborhood- centered for the Cub Scout. Advancement involves parental approval of requirements.
If a boy is in the first grade (or age 7 years old), he becomes a member of a Tiger Cub den of perhaps five to 10 boys, and his den is one of several which make up the pack. The den meets weekly, usually at the home of the host team (Tiger Cub and his [[Adult Partner|adult partner) or the Tiger Cub den leader.
If a boy is in the second or third grade (or is 8 or 9), he becomes a member of a Cub Scout den of perhaps five to 10 boys, and his den is one of several that make up a pack. The den meets weekly, usually at the home of the den leader.
If the boy is in the fourth grade (or is 10), he may become a member of a Webelos den. This den is led by an adult Webelos den leader. A pack may have more than one Webelos den, depending on the number of Webelos Scouts. The Webelos den meets weekly.
The pack meets monthly, usually at the building of its chartered organization. This meeting is conducted by the Cubmaster and the committee.
There are six ranks in Cub Scouting:
- Bobcat. The Bobcat badge is earned prior to all other ranks. If a boy joins
Cub Scouting as a Wolf, Bear, or Webelos, he must earn the Bobcat badge first before receiving any other award or rank.
- Tiger Cub. The rank for boys who have completed kindergarten (or 7-year-olds).
- Wolf. The rank for boys who have completed first grade (or 8-year-olds).
- Bear. The rank for boys who have completed second grade (or 9-year-olds).
- Webelos. The rank for boys who have completed third grade (or 10-year-olds).
- Arrow of Light. For fifth-graders (or 10-year-olds). Earned after the completion of the Webelos badge,
usually during the second year of the Webelos program.
Bobcat Requirements
(Quoted from 33088, p. 19)
No matter what age or grade a boy joins Cub Scouting, he must earn his Bobcat badge before he can be awarded the rank of Tiger, Wolf, Bear, or Webelos. This rank involves learning the Cub Scout Promise, the Law of the Pack, and some signs and symbols of Cub Scouting. His parents determine when the boy has mastered them.
Tiger Cub Requirements
(Quoted from 33088, p. 19)
When a boy is in the first grade, he works on the Tiger Cub badge with his adult partner. To begin his path to the Tiger Cub rank, the Tiger Cub must first earn the Tiger Cub belt totem by learning the Cub Scout motto, the Cub Scout sign, and the Cub Scout salute. When he has accomplished these tasks, he may begin working on the 15 achievement requirements to earn Tiger Cub rank. These simple requirements, to be completed with the adult partners, include a family activity, den activity, and Go See It (den outing) in five achievement areas. The adult partner approves the completion of each requirement by signing the boy's handbook.
When the Tiger Cub has completed the 15 achievement requirements, he receives his Tiger Cub badge in a ceremony during a monthly pack meeting. After earning the Tiger Cub badge, the boy is encouraged to work on the numerous elective activities in his book. The boy is also encouraged to begin working on the requirements for his Bobcat badge. There are many elective projects aimed at sparking a Tiger Cub's interest in a new hobby, activity, or skill. When he completes 10 electives, he earns a Tiger Track bead that is worn on the Tiger Cub Immediate Recognition Emblem, a pocket totem. There is no limit to the number of Tiger Track beads that a boy may earn; however, each Tiger Track bead must represent the completion of 10 elective projects.
All requirements for both the Tiger Cub achievements and electives are found in the Tiger Cub Handbook.
Wolf Requirements
(Quoted from 33088, p. 19)
When a boy is in the second grade, he start work on the 12 achievements for the Wolf rank as soon as he has earned his Bobcat rank. These achievements involve knowledge of the national flag, his religious duties, physical skills, and other simple skills geared to his interests. A parent or adult family member should approve his work and sign his book, signifying completion of the requirements.
Cub Scout leaders approve only a few of the requirements, which are indicated in the book.
When the Cub Scout has completed the 12 achievements, he receives the Wolf badge in a ceremony during a monthly pack meeting. The boy may then work on any of the 23 fields, called electives, until he completes second grade (or is 9). Electives mostly cover hobby and sports interests. Each of these electives is divided into projects. For the first 10 projects, a boy is award a Gold Wolf_Cub_Scout#Arrow_Points Arrow Point, to be worn on his uniform below his Wolf badge. For the next 10 projects completed, he receives a Silver Wolf_Cub_Scout#Arrow_Points Arrow Point, to be worn below the gold one. Additional Silver Arrow Points may be earned for each 10 projects. All requirements and electives are found in the Wolf Cub Handbook.
Bear Requirements
(Quoted from 33088, p. 19)
When the boy is in the third grade or 9 (or as soon as he completes the Bobcat requirements if he joins at this age), he begins work toward the Bear rank. When he has completed 12 of the 24 achievements and has been awarded the badge, he may work on the 24 electives in the Bear Cub Handbook to earn arrow points as he did for Wolf. These arrow points are worn below his Bear badge. In addition, he may earn elective credits by completing requirements for the 12 achievements not used to earn the badge. All requirements for both the Bear achievements and electives are found in the Bear Handbook. As with the Wolf rank, completion of the requirements is approved by the boy's parents.
Webelos Requirements
(Quoted from 33088, p. 20)
While working toward the Webelos rank and the Arrow of Light Award, the boy also may earn any or all of the 20 activity badges that range from Aquanaut and Sportsman to Geologist and Forester. The Webelos den leader approves the boy's work or assigns someone else to approve it. This is an important step in the boy's transition to a Boy Scout troop. All requirements for the Webelos badge, Arrow of Light Award, and activity badges are found in the Webelos Handbook.
The boy makes a transition from the pack to a Boy Scout troop after he:
- Has completed the fifth grade and is at least 10 years old, OR
- Is age 11, OR
- Has earned the Arrow of Light Award and is at least 10 years old.
The transition from the pack to a Boy Scout troop in an impressive ceremony.
The Webelos badge and Arrow of Light requirements include all of the joining requirements for the Scout badge.
Cub Scout Advancement Goals
(Quoted from 33088, p. 21)
The administration of the Cub Scout advancement program is primarily the responsibility of the pack committee, with the support of the district advancement committee and commissioner staff.
- Parents of Cub Scouts should understand their role and responsibilities in their son's advancement. For the boy to receive maximum benefit and growth from his advancement, the adult's standard should be based on the Cub Scout motto, "Do your Best".
- Advancement recognition should be given as soon as possible after a boy completes the requirements, and be done with proper ceremony. Presentation of badges should be a part of each monthly pack meeting. Suggestions for advancement ceremonies are contained in the Cub Scout Program Helps, Webelos Leader Guide, Cub Scout Ceremonies for Dens and Packs, and the Cub Scout Leader Book.
- Packs and troops should be encouraged to work together to ensure a smooth transition from the Webelos den to the Boy Scout troop.
- Good advancement records should be maintained by the pack to be sure that the boys are advancing and that the awards are presented promptly.
- The use of den chiefs (Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts, or Venturers who assist with Cub Scout and Webelos Scout den meetings) can help stimulate advancement through example and experience, as well as encourage boys to continue in the Scouting program.
Cub Scout/Webelos Scout Resident and Day Camp Advancement Guidelines
(Quoted from 33088, p. 21)
Cub/Webelos Scout resident camp, as well as day camps, should limit advancement for the sake of advancement. Tiger Cub and Cub Scout advancement is intended to be family-oriented; the adult partner or a family member must approve completion of the requirements by signing the boy's book. As boys become Webelos Scouts, their den leaders and activity badge counselors sign off the requirements in the handbooks. Camp programs and activities should not detract from these family and den responsibilities related to advancement.
