Despite some large daily swings, stocks roughly traced a V shape in the quarter, declining through the middle of February and then rising for the remainder of the period. Further global monetary easing and a rebound in oil prices led to gains in the second half of the quarter, which more than compensated for earlier losses for the mid- and large-cap benchmarks. Smaller shares recorded losses. Information technology stocks modestly outperformed the overall S&P 500 Index for the quarter, even as the portfolio's Lipper benchmark performed poorly.
The Science & Technology Fund returned −3.15% in the quarter compared with −2.65% for the Lipper Science & Technology Funds Index and 1.35% for the S&P 500 Index. For the 12 months ended March 31, 2016, the fund returned 1.89% versus −1.50% for the Lipper Science & Technology Funds Index and 1.78% for the S&P 500 Index. The fund's average annual total returns were 1.89%, 10.08%, and 8.47% for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year periods, respectively, as of March 31, 2016. The fund's expense ratio was 0.84% as of its fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.
Benchmark Definitions
The portfolio saw negative returns from most of its industry segments in a difficult quarter. Information and software services holdings performed worst, and software shares were also generally weak. Telecom equipment holdings boosted returns.
The sell-off in late 2015 and early 2016 offered us the opportunity to add to both new and existing holdings at what we believe will prove to be attractive prices. Areas such as software-as-a-service and the Internet still appear to offer abundant growth potential, and we are confident that our fundamental research can guide us to identify companies within such promising segments. We are finding opportunities both domestically and abroad. In China, there are attractive opportunities within the Internet space, where we are uncovering the stocks of companies that we believe are trading at low multiples, as well as companies whose future earnings potential are underappreciated. Our team's collaborative approach remains instrumental to developing the industry and company-specific insights that are essential to identifying the best investments

NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Authorities are investigating the deaths of a Florida Department of Law Enforcement attorney and his wife.
The bodies of 58-year-old Steven Brady and 56-year-old Pamela Brady were discovered Monday morning. How the pair died could be revealed during an autopsy that is scheduled today.
The Daytona Beach News Journal reported that Steven Brady was under investigation by the FDLE for more than a month for what an official there called "a violation of policy and procedure."
The newspaper cited court records that revealed a Port Orange man filed an injunction for protection against Brady.

I need some real hand holding in Facebook. I have created my Facebook App and it works, but in the WPBook streaming admin when I check my privileges they are not granted. Where in Facebook do I setup and granted these privileges?
I need some real hand holding in Facebook. I have created my Facebook App and it works, but in the WPBook streaming admin when I check my privileges they are not granted. Where in Facebook do I setup and granted these privileges?
Resolved by poster. What I did to get the necessary permissions was to do the Check privileges link. The resulting report shows the status of your privileges. If privileges are not granted, click the re-grant permissions link, a Facebook panel appears allowing you to set permissions. Upon rechecking permissions my permission were all granted (yes). It seems like you don't need do anything in Facebook's admin and the permissions can be setup within WPBook's admin. I wish this was better documented by WPBook, as it was a complete mystery to me as a Facebook avoider.
Gordo019 - glad to hear you got it resolved.
How do you think we could document this any better?
The link quite clearly says, right in the admin screen:
If you are having issues, please begin by Checking permissions for stream publishing, reading, and offline access.
On the page which results from clicking the "checking permissions" link we've tried to lay out the problem and how to fix it:
To correct any of these, Grant or re-grant permissions for your userid. (This is required if you intend to publish to your personal wall OR any fan pages.)
How else would you suggest we document it?
Hi John,
The one aspect of the permissions step that has tripped me up is that I need to be logged into Facebook as the appropriate user to be able to grant permissions.
I maintain a couple of WP sites and took it took a few tries to remember to coordinate with the FB user even though I'd set myself up as an admin for the FB app.
Hi there,
My problem is that I don't see anything on the Grant or re-grant permissions Facebook page after clicking on Checking permissions in WordPress.
Can someone pleeeeeese help me? I'm desperate.
Are you logged into the Facebook account as an admin user? I think this is required, maybe John can confirm this. You should see a centered Facebook panel that allows you to Grant permissions. Keep trying, this plugin is not an easy configuration.
Yep, I'm an admin user for the app and the Facebook page I'm trying to stream the content to. I see the centered Facebook panel but only have the message that's supposed to appear :(
I've even upgraded to the latest WP version (3.2.1), but still no luck.
@megan what version of WordPress are you using?
What is the url of your blog outside FB, and what is the url of your FB app?
What do you have set as the canvas callback url?
When you say you "don't see anything on the Grat or re-grant permissions Facebook page" what do you mean? Just a blank white page, with no content?

Pregnancy and breast cancer
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
How is breast cancer managed in a patient who just found out she is pregnant?
Carolyn Vachani RN, MSN, AOCN, OncoLink's Nurse Educator, responds:
Approximately 1 to 3 patients out of 10,000 deliveries will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their pregnancy. It is the most common cancer seen during pregnancy. Recent tendencies to defer childbearing until later in life may increase the incidence, since older women are more likely to develop breast cancer.
The clinical presentation of breast cancer during pregnancy is the same as in a nonpregnant patient, with a palpable mass being the most common symptom. Mammography is not particularly helpful in the pregnant women because of the increased density of the breast tissue during pregnancy, but ultrasound can safely be used. Biopsy of the lump can be performed safely by a physician experienced in such cases.
The options for the local treatment of breast cancer during pregnancy are limited for the woman who wishes to continue her pregnancy. The use of radiation therapy during the first and second trimester of pregnancy is contraindicated due to the inability to shield the fetus from radiation. For the third trimester of pregnancy, lumpectomy with or without axillary lymph node dissection can be performed, with radiation therapy delayed until after delivery. In general, most would advise modified radical mastectomy to avoid the problems of radiation therapy during pregnancy, including the risk to the fetus. Alternatively, therapy can be postponed which increases risk to the mother. In some instances, when cancer is diagnosed near term, delivery may be accomplished prior to surgery for the breast cancer. In rare cases, a locally aggressive malignancy diagnosed very early in pregnancy and requiring radiation therapy may justify a therapeutic abortion.
All chemotherapeutic agents are potentially teratogenic (dangerous to the fetus) during the first trimester. However, studies have safely given chemotherapy to pregnant women in the 2 nd & 3 rd trimesters. Before administering chemotherapy to such patients, they must be willing to accept the risks of premature delivery as a consequence of treatment.
Breast cancer during pregnancy had been thought to be a particularly virulent disease, but much of the poor prognosis seems to have been due to advanced disease at the time of diagnosis. Stage-for-stage, current studies show equivalent survival when women who develop breast cancer during pregnancy are compared with the general population of breast cancer patients.

Obama's Biggest Climate Decision Of The Year May Be … Palm Oil?
by Glenn Hurowitz
The Obama administration is poised to make one of the biggest climate policy decisions of its entire administration – and it's not about coal, oil, or gas, but rainforests. EPA is deciding whether or not palm oil should be included in the Renewable Fuel Standard, which mandates that American motorists use 36 billion gallons of biofuel in their cars and trucks by 2022. In order to qualify for inclusion, palm oil would have to cut greenhouse gas pollution by at least 20 percent compared to gasoline.
Which means that it should be an easy call: Of all the biofuels, palm oil causes by far the most pollution because much of it is grown by clearing and burning dense rainforests, many of them on carbon-rich peatland, to make room for plantations. That widespread deforestation has made Indonesia the world's third biggest global warming polluter, just behind China and the United States.
EPA recognized some of the problems with palm oil in its draft finding that palm oil does not qualify for inclusion in the RFS … but just barely. However, a close look at EPA's draft finds that it used old and deeply flawed data to systematically underestimate the emissions from palm oil. For instance, the analysis draws on data on plantation expansion that ends in 2003 – not taking into account how much worse the palm oil industry has gotten since then.
Newer studies from the National Academies of Science and the International Council on Clean Transportation find that the palm oil industry's carbon footprint just keeps getting bigger:
The new study used satellite imagery to map the encroachment of oil palm plantations onto peatlands from 1990 to 2000, from 2000 to 2007, and finally 2007 to 2010. Despite increasing awareness of climate change in that period, the rate of peat destruction was higher in this last 3 year period than ever before. "Everywhere we looked, the drainage of peat to plant palm oil is increasing, " said Dr. Chris Malins of the International Council on Clean Transportation, one of the organizations that carried out the study. "In the Sarawak province in Malaysian Borneo, for instance, based on the last 3 years we would expect over 80% of future palm expansion to be at the expense of peat." The findings are echoed in a new study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by Kim Carlson et al., which found that from 2008-2011 69% of palm oil conversion in the Indonesian province of West Kalimantan occurred at the expense of peat, even despite the introduction of a 'moratorium' in 2011.
All in all, this deforestation means that running a car on palm oil produces a lot more greenhouse gases than running it on Canadian tar sands. Indeed, a study in Science found that it would take palm oil biofuels grown on peatland a whopping 423 years to pay back the carbon debt created through land clearance. In other words, a palm plantation cleared in the year 1600 that produced biofuels for the last several centuries would still not have displaced enough oil to make up for the amount of carbon released when the land was cleared. Palm oil can make even dirty oil look green.
You can see devastation wherever the palm oil industry operates: Indonesia, Malaysia, Colombia, Peru and increasingly the massive rainforests of the Congo River Basin in Africa, which are increasingly being invaded and colonized by Asian palm oil companies that buy off local governments and clear massive areas of forest – with local communities suffering the consequences. I saw it for myself several weeks ago on an aerial survey I conducted of Central Kalimantan in Indonesian Borneo – for miles out to the horizon, we saw bulldozers clearing vast new palm oil plantations in an arc of deforestation racing towards the still-protected Sebangau National Park, an area of prime orangutan habitat.
The palm oil industry is trying to get EPA to shut its eyes to what's happening on the ground. Apparently not content with corrupting the political process in Southeast Asia, the industry is working to do the same in America (Washington is plenty corrupt already without the palm oil kings making it worse, thank you very much).
Industry giant Wilmar, which has been caught on film cutting down forests in orangutan habitat and expelling indigenous people from their lands, and was cut off from World Bank funding for its abuses, has hired a raft of DC lobbyists in its attempt to pressure the White House to distort the science. The industry's effort has been boosted by $7.7 million that the Malaysian government authorized last year to spend on foreign palm oil "public relations" work, intended to spread the false idea that palm oil is a clean source of energy. This flood of foreign cash may explain why right wing "think tanks" like the Heritage Foundation are suddenly so interested in forcing American motorists to use palm oil grown in Indonesia under the Renewable Fuels Standard – a standard they have virulently opposed for other biofuels but have suddenly embraced for palm oil. Hmm.
There's a lot at stake: Europe is looking closely at the EPA's finding as a precedent for its determination on its own biofuels standard. That determination will decide the fate of approximately 69,000 square kilometers of forests and other ecosystems – an area bigger than the entire state of West Virginia. If they don't get the decision right, it will produce the amount of carbon pollution equivalent to adding 12 to 26 million cars to the roads.
American motorists don't want the government to force them to use this ultra-dirty fuel that's driving mass deforestation, carbon pollution, and species extinction, and often produced under brutal working conditions, including slave and child labor. So long as EPA and the White House find the strength to resist the false messaging of the Asian palm oil industry – and stick to the real facts and grim science on palm oil – we can chalk this decision up as one of the Obama administration's biggest climate achievements.

Palm oil specifically and large implementation of biofuels in general as they are produced now are not a valid answer to ecological destruction. The energy to production use footprint as well as the competition with food production are unacceptable. No matter how lofty the visions of sustainability my be.
The EPA should have been already in position to handle this but they have been subverted by those pushing the biofuels industry here.
Don't expect EPA to make the right choice. They are just barely adequate at protecting the environment in some areas and woefully inadequate in many others. The US policy makers are more likely to make the wrong decision and we are just stupidly lucky that our air and water is not as bad as China's and we have not seen our rivers catch fire lately. They subsidize corn ethanol don't they?
Is there an option in consideration to only permit credibly certified sustainable palm oil?
"So long as EPA and the White House find the strength to resist the false messaging of the Asian palm oil industry – and stick to the real facts and grim science on palm oil – we can chalk this decision up as one of the Obama administration's biggest climate achievements."
So it would be one of Obama's "biggest climate achievements" if he allows business to continue as usual as opposed to making the problem far worse by supporting palm oil?
Guess what. Today I decided not put my arm in a meat grinder. It was one of the biggest achievements towards good health I've ever… well, achieved.
Talk about low expectations.
You can talk about low expectations Dan but the destruction of rainforests in the Southern hemisphere is just devastating and has to be stopped. There is more than one decision to be made in the process of attempting to restore the health of our planet, ME
"…the destruction of rainforests in the Southern hemisphere is just devastating and has to be stopped. There is more than one decision to be made in the process of attempting to restore the health of our planet."
I agree with that fully.
My comment meant to address this aspect of the article: It says a lot about our discourse and the state of things when we proclaim someone has made a "big achievement" by simply not doing us great harm. It's disgusting how low some people set the bar. It's absurd and pathetic.
That's my only problem with this article.
Emissions from deforestation are the most corrupt and politically charged of any category, including in IPCC. I urge readers to look into it by studying IPCC country emissions reports and Forestry Conferences, available on the Web. The omissions and weird data are obvious.
It's easy to bash the oil companies, but people have been worn down by the timber companies, even though they are actually worse. Nowadays the Big Green organizations pretty much bend over and let them win, since they figure they're going to destroy forests anyway. Companies like GP and Weyerhauser pioneered greenwashing and influence peddling. The oil companies are still learning from them.
It is becoming an ever growing issue. But it is important to ensure that palm oil is sustainable. The cost of fuel is raising and oil supplies are reducing.
It is difficult, to find safe and sustainable resources.
The rallying cry against the destruction of peat lands and related carbon emissions is very important, yet it is only the enlightened self-interest component of why mass-produced palm oil is bad.
I'm horrified by what I have seen in the indie press of human rights abuses of indigenous peoples displaced by the palm oil plantations. The indigenous peoples are all too aware that their lives and culture depended on the biological diversity and stability of habitats that have been eradicated.
As we've seen with other imports to the US, there is an unconsciously schizoid attitude in the US that assumes environmental and human rights issues somehow 'stayed in Vegas' or Papua-New Guinea or Nigeria or Paraguay, or Canada, or China, or elsewhere. It's a tough job for the US EPA to be the US national conscience on the origins of imports.
Please read product labels. Many food and personal care products contain palm oil products. These products were the developed end-uses of palm oil before the mega-plantations had the volume-capability to sell palm oil as motor fuel.
I avoid eating or soaping up with stuff containing palm oil, palmitic acid, palmitate, or other by-products, although I have yet to memorize all those ingredients that have names that don't include the "palm" root word. There are websites with lists of the ingredients.
This is a global tragedy- not just for the incredible species facing extinction and the displaced indigenous people but for all of us as we all need these rainforests to survive on this magnificent planet. Let's not sell out our planet for this cheap, unhealthy & unenvironmental palm oil! http://youtu.be/1NAYWHb-xaU
Cheapness in the energy area, equates with unsustainability. The price of fossile fuels must indeed rise so that sustainable sources of energy become the most economically smart option. Because that's what really drives the world, prices. And as sustainable energy production becomes more widespread, prices become lower as well. By "sustainable" I mean solar, wind, tidal and geothermal energy.

I am refinishing my kitchen cabinets. I have sanded them, painted two coats of paint and then glazed them. I have put one coat of polyurethane on them, and am trying to put a second coat on. When I try to sand them, it is taking the finish off. I first tried sanding lightly with 220 grit and have now tried with 400 grit sandpaper and am having the same problem. I have tried in an unobvious place and am barely touching it with the sandpaper. What should I do?
What type of paint/glaze? Oil or water based poly? Check with manufacturer of the poly to make sure it's compatible with previous top coats. The ones I've called in the past have always been very helpful.
How long did you let paint/glaze cure before poly? Even though paint dries within hours it takes a while to fully cure. If you apply the poly before it cures you'll have problems with the poly curing. Should wait at least 7 days before applying poly. More depending on climate.

10 Reasons to Hate Summer Weddings
Summer wedding season is upon us, and some of us are not excited.
Summer wedding season is upon us, and some of us are not excited.
When we realized we had just bought napkin rings, a bookshelf, batteries and a giant sack of frozen meatballs, we realized you really can get everything at IKEA. Apparently, that even includes a husband.*
While gearing up to say "I do," don't be surprised to hear "I can't."
If you were planning on taking pictures at your wedding, you may as well cancel the photographer. In fact, you should probably call off the entire wedding, because what could possibly top this picture?
Was it a bad omen or a free light show? Whatever the cause, the couple in this video probably started having second thoughts when a big bolt of lightning struck right behind them during their beach side wedding in the Florida Keys...
Robert Watling and Kelli Johnston are a speedy pair. In fact, Watling proposed to Johnston last October after they completed the Chicago Marathon, which was one of the many 26.2 mile races the couple had completed together.
Given their shared history of racing together -- their first date was a 5K race -- getting married after the Boston Marathon seemed like the natural thing to do.
Being flower girl can be tough. You have a very important job, everyone's looking at you, and you're probably only a few years old.
Before you walk down the aisle, you may want to walk down to the bank to make sure you've got enough money in your account.
Maybe it's the open bar, but these brides and grooms just can't seem to stay on their feet.
Generally at a wedding, when the bride and groom have their first dance, it's a touching moment of true love, as they stare longingly into each other's eyes while 'In My Life' or some other classic song plays. But sometimes, the young lovers mix it up a little.

Historical Traveler Reviews El Oceano Beach Hotel Marbella
A lovely hotel,
with many fine points. The restaurant and food are both excellent but on a couple of occasions spoilt by the volume of the live music which almost made conversation impossible. The pool area and bar snacks are great but unfortunately again the music was far too loud and people were complaining.
Overall a great find and one which we will be visiting again not least because of the wonderful staff.
What A Place!!
We stayed at this lovely hotel earlier this month.
It was incredible!! I have to agree the front of the hotel is a little misleading but when you enter you immidiately get the 5* feel. We had a mini suite and it was lovely. The bed was huge and the bathroom was large with a powerful shower. The view was incredible - with huge sliding windows and the sea just yards away. To wake up to that view each morning was wonderful.
The staff were the friendliest I have ever encounterd and we were on first names with Glen the manager and most of the staff for the whole week. Nothing was too much trouble! The bar staff were great fun and could not do enough - especially Matt in the main bar - what a great guy!!
We got engaged whilst we were staying and all the staff came and congratulated us which made everthing even more special. We had a very boozy night with friends who came to eat with us - they have a villa at Calahonda. They said the hotel had an excellent reputation for food in the area and you usually had to book weeks in advance for a table.
The food is amazing - we tend to eat out at expensive restaurants so have a pretty good idea overall on what we like. We could not fault it and we had lunch and dinner 4 out of 7 days going into Puerto Banus a couple of times. The menu was very extensive and totally delicious!!
I have read reviews to say its overpriced and I agree its not the cheapest. But if you can afford to, its worth every single penny.
We will be going back as we thought it was excellent!!!!
Loved it!
We stayed in El Oceano for our wedding/honeymoon in June 2006.(we were getting married in the area) We were a little disappointed when we saw the front of the hotel as the website looked so fantastic but once we got inside we realised that all the beauty of this hotel is to the back, and everything did look just like you see it on the Internet!
We had a fabulous mini-suite at the corner of the hotel with hotel slippers and dressing gowns and it felt so luxurious! We also had a more or less completely private balcony overlooking the sea. (Some of the other balconies overlook the swimming pool area) I would advise that you book either a mini or deluxe suite because the double rooms all seem to be at the front of the hotel so you don't get the fantastic views of the ocean.
There are 2 towns near El Oceano, Riveria del Col and LaCala. These are both about 15-20mins on foot. There is also a bus stop about 5mins away which will bring you to different areas in the Costas. LaCala would be your best bet of the nearby towns as it is a really lovely village with a great Irish bar called Biddys!
But back to the hotel, we loved every second of our stay there, we ate in the restaurant a number of times and always found the food to be first class. There was also nightly entertainment in the restaurant. The staff throughout the hotel were really friendly and we were on first name terms with a number of them. The gang in the El Oceano Spa were exceptionally friendly and helped me out on my wedding day with hair make-up etc and made me feel like I was the most special person in the world-and you can't buy that kind of treatment.
I thought that it was a great place to stay but would be for that 'special' holiday rather than a regular trip to Spain.
This hotel is beautiful and I'm sure that if you go you will think so too. The hotel is quaint, clean and incredibly tranquil. The staff are lovely everytime I come here whether just eating or staying there. You will not get a nicer Sunday Lunch anywhere on the coast and all the other food is of superb quality ALWAYS! If you dont mind paying that little extra to stay somewhere that oozes charm and sophistication the the El Oceano Beach Hotel is the place to stay!
Way overpriced
Stayed here in june 06 , while the rooms were clean and the pool area is nice, the staff could have been more friendly. Ate in the hotels resteraunt and was served a raw uncleaned prawn, when I complained ,the waiter was not too bothered he said there would be no charge for my raw prawns! That was very nice!
At over 300 euro a night with dinner this hotel is way over priced and to add insult you have to pay a 5 euro supplement , per person if you want a cooked english breakfast. Also 8.50 for a brandy in hotel bar and it wasnt the usual generous spanish measure I would give this place a wide berth much better value further down the coast. Shame This hotel could be great with very little effort on the managements behalf.But they have a couldnt care less attitude.
El Oceano - not good
We stayed at El Oceano for just under a week last September. We stayed in the Mijas Hotel before we went down to the coast, which was absolutely lovely, so when we arrived at El Oceano it was rather disappointing. It's on the beach but with a motorway on the other side. It's in a very quiet location and there's no where close by to have a drink or a nice meal, so unless you're driving or getting on the bus, you're pretty much stuck there.
Our room was at the front of the hotel so you could hear the motorway. The room was ok, but for the price it's not up to scratch. Really needed a refurb. Dodgy pine furniture and curtains that smelt of insect repellant. Air con didn't seem to work properly, asked someone to look at it but don't think anyone did.
The pool area and beach are attractive but pool looked like it needed a clean, lots of things floating in it. The pool bar is really expensive for sandwhiches and water and the only other place nearby is a beach bar about 10 mins away.
Breakfast was ok, cocktail glasses with fruit in - very 80's! Ate in the restaurant once for dinner and the food was actually quite good - but again completely over priced. Drinks in the bar also cost a fortune. I'm not sure why this place is so expensive, i think the owners (and some of it's guests) think it's an exclusive resort, but it just isn't.
If you're willing to get ripped off and want to feel like your're still in Britain - this is the place for you! Overall it was extremely disappointing and not worth the money.
Beautiful but not Spain!
The hotel itself is stunning - particularly the location. Sitting outside, overlooking the sea, it is peaceful and beautiful. The room was spacious and comfortable and well equipped. The food is great - very international, good selection and beautifully presented: even the fruit and yoghurt at breakfast are served in cocktail glasses. The entertainment raises a smile...
We had an 'ocean front mini suite' and probably had the only one which wasn't located on the front of the building - but we did have a very large terrace (two loungers, table and chairs) and could see the sea as we were at the end of the building. However, it also meant we were on the road side, which was quite noisy during the day and at night.
Whether you enjoy your stay depends on what you're looking for. Despite all the positive aspects of the hotel our stay was dissapointing - we were seeking the Spanish experience and what we got was a hotel that could have been anywhere (Brighton??), that was full of loud, middle-aged English holiday makers and where English was the dominant language. Probably my fault for expecting any hotel on the Costa del Sol to not be touristy! But overall it was pricey and we'd have better spent our money elsewhere.
Lovely Hotel, Shame about Some of the Guests
Stayed at the El Oceano in May last year.
The hotel itself was lovely, the restaurant (if not a little pricey) was of excellent quality - both food and service.
The outdoor bar and pool area was a relaxing & tranquil setting for anyone who wants to sit back and relax.
The main issue we had was during our week stay, there were two weddings which took over the hotel and this was not told to us upon booking. On wedding day, facilities were closed and anything that was open was maintained by one busy member of staff.
Towards the end of the week, there were a rowdy group of guests outside, stealing items from the pool bar, making a noise, leaving litter etc... which management thought was ok and left them to their own devices. A little disappointing for a hotel of this standard.
Chilled to the extreme!
We visited El Oceano for a couple of nights at the beginning of our honeymoon. Although we arrived (very!) late, we were pleasantly welcomed and an appointment was made for a repair to my false nail - for the day after next as the nail technician didn't work the following day, which was fine by me. By the time we reached our jacuzzi suite (which wasn't as large as we expected - and no candles supplied LOL), the phone rang and I was advised that the technician would come in to the hotel next day, just for me. This was 11.30 at night!
Unfortunately, we had no bathrobes in the room that evening, though we did have a quick test of the jacuzzi which was nice. Robes were provided first thing next morning.
Breakfast was fab, followed by a visit to get my nails done, my husband had a massage, and we booked to return the following day - I had my hair done and my husband had a pedicure. Prices were no more than an average decent salon, but the service was fantastic.
We had dinner in the restaurant on the second night, and it was absolutely marvellous - the quality was superb and the flavours divine. The sommelier was very interesting and helpful and our discussion with him was something we enjoyed very much.
We were lucky as we had some glorious sunshine, which really made our couple of days - however, we would have been happy to sit around indoors amusing ourselves in the spa, the beauty room, or the bedroom ;-) as it was all so lovely.

One night only
So today we decided to adventure to Torremelinos (15 miles south of Malaga), again just because we've heard of Brits going there. This time we have no Aires or ACSI campsites so we're on our own.

A Topeka school honored some special friends Friday.
Jardine Middle School held a reception to thank its many volunteers. Nearly 30 community members and parents who've helped out throughout the year were on hand.
Jardine is home to many volunteer programs, including the "Watch DOGS." It stands for "Dads of Great Students." Fathers come in once a month to patrol the halls and help out with the students.
Volunteers also serve as mentors and tutors to students. "Youth Friends" and "Junior Achievement" volunteers also visit Jardine.
The school's staff says all those efforts have made the students' success possible.

Fertility and eugenics: Singapore's population policies

Singapore, after serving for two decades as a model for Third World birth control and economic development programs, is now abandoning its earlier population policies in favor of encouraging dramatic population growth. The initial eugenics-based program introduced in 1984 sought increased fertility for university-educated women and provided major subsidies for the voluntary sterilization of poor and uneducated parents. These much publicized and internationally discussed programs have now been abandoned in favor of new population programs seeking to encourage fertility in lower as well as better educated groups. A forty percent population increase is being set as a goal. To accomplish this the effective Singapore Family Planning and Population Board has been abolished and Housing Development Board policies are in the process of being reversed to encourage rather than discourage fertility.

The COP 15 conference opens today in Copenhagen, Denmark. The choice of a Scandinavian capital in December is in some ways unfortunate since it's bound to give rise to some scenario in which it's very cold one day and this "proves" to Matt Drudge that climate change is fake. But in other respects it's a great choice as Denmark is the world leader in combining prosperity, equality, efficiency, and clean energy that should offer a model of sustainable growth. Read my extensive Denmark-blogging to learn more.
Beyond that, a quick point of trivia. A lot of people seem to think that the "COP" in "COP 15" stands for "Copenhagen," which is where it's all going down. Not so! For one think, in Danish the city's name is "København" so it'd have to be the KØB 15 conference. The actual name derives from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change by which the world's governments agreed to negotiate and implement a series of international protocols to cope with climate change. Part of that framework convention is a regular series of meetings, formally "Conferences of the Parties of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change." This is the fifteenth Conference of the Parties, hence COP 15.
CAP has prepared a useful Copenhagen 101 primer by Rebecca Lefton, Andrew Light, Kari Manlove, and Daniel J. Weiss for your reading pleasure and I also recommend the team's "Myth vs. Reality on International Climate Change Negotiations" document.

Windows 8 Usability Review
With the recent launch of Windows 8 and the Surface tablets, Microsoft has reversed its user interface strategy. The new design is obviously optimized for touchscreen use (where big targets are helpful), but Microsoft is also imposing this style on its traditional PC users because all of Windows 8 is permeated by the tablet sensibility. How well does this work for real users performing real tasks?
"Hidden features, reduced discoverability, cognitive overhead from dual environments, and reduced power from a single-window UI and low information density. Too bad."
Jacob Nielsen and the team of useit.com did a Usability review on Microsoft's latest OS, Windows 8. Their conclusions are made from first principles of human–computer interaction theory and from watching users in their research.
Jay Greene, senior writer for CNET, on the other hand, wrote an interesting article as a reaction to the Usability review of Jacob Nielsen, titled "Why Jakob Nielsen's Windows 8 critique is old-school thinking".

Research Institution:
AbstractThis Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project aims to develop a low-cost manufacturing process to produce conductive and high-aspect-ratio probes for atomic force microscopy (AFM). A new fabrication tool with high-precision alignment and in-situ process monitoring sensors will be designed and constructed. The probes (so-called NeedleProbes) will be fabricated in a batch process that can pattern an entire wafer of conventional AFM probes with freestanding metal alloy nanowire tips. The broader/commercial impacts of this project will be the potential to provide affordable, conductive and high-aspect-ratio AFM probes that would be well suited in biology for cell scanning and probing, and materials science for imaging of ultra-high-aspect-ratio structures, and electronic measurement of nanostructures. The current fabrication method of AFM probes is a serial process that produces approximately five probes per hour. The advancement in this project toward batch fabrication is expected to extend far beyond the current fabrication method and result in a price reduction of the probes by a factor of 5.

I need some advice on how to get a lightbox effect as easy as possible for photos that are uploaded.
The scenario is that I'm setting up a family blog and since some of the family isn't very "fluent" in how to upload/insert photos I want to make this as simple as possible. Ideally the users should be able to upload a photo, insert it into the post and it would get a lightbox effect without any extra actions.
How can I do this?

A bit about us
ISIS Waterside Regeneration is a partnership company, owned by the Canal and River Trust (formerly British Waterways) and MUSE Developments, with 50% of its returns re-invested by the Canal & River Trust into the maintenance and enhancement of the UK Waterway network. ISIS Waterside Regeneration is committed to revitalising Britain's waterways by creating sustainable waterside communities and delivers high quality and well-designed schemes based around complementary, mixed uses.
ISIS Waterside Regeneration is a multi-award winning developer, having previously completed two highly successful, residential developments: Islington Wharf in Manchester and Granary Wharf in Leeds.
Our journey so far
Outline planning consent for the overall scheme in Brentford was secured in March 2012 and followed an in-depth consultation with the local community. Works have since commenced on site with the first phase of homes expected to be completed later in 2015. Detailed planning permission for phase two at Brentford Lock West was secured at the end of 2014, with works on this phase due to commence this year. The overall scheme will comprise 520 residential homes, 20% of which will be affordable. The scheme will also deliver 7,000 sq metres of commercial space.
The project will breathe new life into Brentford. In addition to providing much needed new housing, the scheme will deliver new community spaces and commercial buildings, helping to create new jobs for the area. £2 million has also been allocated for investment into local health and education facilities.
Improving the local waterways
As part of the overall scheme, ISIS Waterside Regeneration is working in conjunction with the Canal & River Trust to make a number of improvements to the moorings at Brentford Lock West. These improvements include the addition of new visitor mooring and hook up points, along with the installation of a new floating pontoon which is now in place and is being used by the local canoe club. Further enhancements have also been made to widen the canal towpath, providing better access and a safer walkway for both new and existing residents.
Becoming part of the community
It is our aim to create places that feel special, places that people enjoy living in and care about, stimulating new communities with a range of cultural and social events until they take on a life of their own.
We are supporting a number of local initiatives and organisations from within the borough, such as Cultivate London – an innovative, urban farm which aims to increase the amount of locally and organically grown produce available across London. Cultivate London has become an integral part of the development. Close partnerships with other local organisations including Brentford FC Community Sports Trust, Active 360 and canoe club Edge have also been developed and Brentford Lock West will host a new watersports hub, to be enjoyed by the whole community.
What's next
The homes on phase one at Brentford Lock West have been selling well, with the first collections called The Halyards and The Arbor, now sold out. A limited number of apartments remain for sale at Bowline Court and we have recently released a collection of 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom apartments and 4 bedroom townhouses at Carrick Square.
With planning now secured for phase two, works will commence on this second stage later this year.
Find out more about what we do at www.isisregeneration.co.uk and click here to read more about our flats in Brentford.
With the first of the development's new residents now settled into their new homes and just a limited number of apartments and townhouses left to sell on the initial phase, a real sense of community is now building here, with interest in the allotments proving high.
Situated on the roof top of Carrick Square, a stylish collection of 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom apartments and 4 bedroom townhouses, set around a beautifully landscaped communal garden, the allotments will provide green fingered residents with an opportunity to grow their own fresh produce, while getting to know their new neighbours.
John Robinson, Development Director at Brentford Lock West, said: "The demand for allotments continues to outstrip supply, as more people look for the opportunity to 'grow their own'. There are over 28 allotment sites available across the London Borough of Hounslow, all of which have waiting lists, so it's no surprise that interest in our allotments has already been considerable. When they launch later this year we hope to see the allotments become a lively and productive part of life here. A big focus for us at Brentford Lock West is to deliver a scheme that offers a variety of usable community spaces, which can be enjoyed by our residents for years to come – the allotments form a big part of this."
The running and on-going maintenance of the allotments will be managed by innovative urban farm, Cultivate London. The Cultivate team, which have been involved with Brentford Lock West since works first began and have previously grown a range of fresh produce on site, will be on hand to offer residents advice and guidance on how to make the most of their plots. They will also be responsible for their general upkeep and will ensure any unused plots are tended to.
Adrienne Attorp, General Manager at Cultivate London, added: "Using our specialist expertise we are really looking forward to helping new residents maximise their enjoyment of the stunning roof top allotments here."
Residents and purchasers keen to secure one of the allotment plots at Brentford Lock West are advised to get in touch with the development's Estate Manager to register their interest. Just a limited number of homes remain for sale on phase one. Apartment prices start from £464,950. Prices for the townhouses start at £895,000. For more information, or to book an appointment call the Brentford Lock West sales team at Stubbings Property Marketing on 020 8569 7449, email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.brentfordlockwest.co.uk
The Sales and Marketing Suite is open daily, 10am - 5pm.
The popular Brentford Lock West development in west London has been awarded the prestigious RIBA National and RIBA London awards for The Halyards – the first homes to be delivered as part of this exciting, 520 unit scheme.
Designed by leading architects Duggan Morris, The Halyards enjoy a prime location alongside the Grand Union Canal in Brentford. They have been sensitively designed to reflect the area's industrial heritage, while maximising their waterside location. The homes, which offer generous balconies and the majority of which enjoy stunning waterside views, were commended by the RIBA judges for "creating a distinctive presence" and for setting a "clear standard of excellence".
First launched in early 2013, the development has proved popular, with the majority of homes on the first phase of this development already reserved. While residents at The Halyards may already be settled into their new waterside homes, a limited selection of two and three bedroom apartments, as well as four bedroom townhouses still remain available for sale on the current phase.
John Robinson, Development Director at Brentford Lock West, said: "The response we have had to the development since its launch has been really positive, with demand from local buyers in particular proving strong. It has always been important to us that we bring in a number of architects to design this development, allowing us to deliver an architecturally varied and impressive scheme that offers buyers the opportunity to secure a unique and very special new home. The Halyards were the first of the homes to launch and I think the recent award wins are testament to Duggan Morris' work here."
Joe Morris, Director, Duggan Morris Architects, added: "Our time working on Brentford Lock West has been both rewarding and challenging. The team were fully immersed in a collaborative approach from the start, which allowed us to fully unlock the potential of this unique site. We are incredibly pleased that the scheme has been recognized and awarded by the RIBA, this is a shared triumph for design, client and community working together."
Stuart Mills, Canal & River Trust Property Director, said: "We're delighted Brentford Lock West has been recognised by the RIBA national award. The building is an exceptional first step in this exciting development which will create a high quality place for both the local community and visitors to Brentford, and help to transform this location into a gateway to the inland waterway network that we can all be proud of. It provides a benchmark in design quality that other canal-side developments should aspire to, and that is a great credit to the ISIS Waterside Regeneration Team, including Duggan Morris architects, and our project staff at the Trust."
Helen Todd, Director at Stubbings Property Marketing, who is responsible for selling the homes at Brentford Lock West concluded: "Since we first launched here the interest in these homes has been fantastic. The apartments at The Halyards, with their enviable waterside setting and their impressive outside spaces offered buyers a very unique opportunity to enjoy a London home in a tranquil setting. In fact, all of the homes here offer generous terraces and balconies as well as beautifully specified interiors – both of which are major selling factors among today's buyers."
Situated along the banks of the Grand Union Canal, Brentford Lock West forms part of a five year project, which is expected to breathe new life into Brentford, through the delivery of 520 new homes. In addition to providing much needed new housing, the scheme is delivering new community spaces and commercial buildings, helping to create new jobs for the area. The homes offer buyers a unique opportunity to secure a new, highly specified home, while benefiting from a host of community features and green initiatives.
Just a limited number of homes remain for sale on phase one. Apartment prices start from £529,950. Prices for the townhouses start at £895,000. For more information, or to book an appointment call the Brentford Lock West sales team at Stubbings Property Marketing on 020 8569 7449, email email@example.com or visit www.brentfordlockwest.co.uk The Sales and Marketing Suite is open daily, 10am - 5pm.
RIBA National Awards are the most rigorously judged awards for architectural excellence. RIBA National Award winning buildings set the standard for good architecture. Just 37 national winners were picked from over 100 regional winners.

Singer, model and actress Joyce Licorish to appear on Radio Next show
The multi-talented singer will talk about her touring production of Oprah Winfrey's The Color Purple and other projects
"We have been working for a while to get Joyce on the show and now that the opportunity has come, everyone at the station is really excited so that we can broadcast the many wonderful things she and her organization has planned this year." said Reid.
Licorish and her team are currently in pre-production as they prepare to embark on a ten city tour of their rendition of Oprah Winfrey's The Color Purple. The organization recently closed out the production in Indianapolis this past winter with seven sold out shows.
"This show is too good not to go on the road!" said Licorish who also plays the role of Sophia in the production.
The organization has been busy all summer with fundraiser shows to help support the touring efforts of Oprah Winfrey's The Color Purple. The current fundraiser show is "Broadway In Black" in which cast members will reprise some of Broadway's most classic shows including Dream Girls, The Wiz, The Color Purple and more.

On behalf of the Walsh
Middle School PTA, I would like to welcome all our new and returning families to
the 2015-2016 school year!
WMS PTA is very excited
about this coming year and has been busy working to plan great events for our
students, parents and staff.
As a parent of a Walsh
Middle School student, it is extremely important that you remain involved in
your child's education. One way you can do this is to become a member of the
Walsh PTA! PTA is a crucial link between
home, school and community. It is the
largest child advocacy volunteer group in America and speaks on behalf of
children who cannot affect change for themselves.
We have an extremely active
PTA at Walsh and we need each and every one of you. From planning student
events, to being a helping hand to faculty and staff, our PTA is vital to the
success of your child and this campus. Another added benefit of your PTA
membership comes in the form of business discounts from places such as Sea World,
Six Flags, Schliterbahn, Enterprise car rental, Dell, T-Mobile, LaQuinta and
Southwest Vacations just to name a few!
We invite you to "Back the Future" with PTA and encourage everyone to join.
Everyone is welcome!
If you haven't already done
so, please sign up for the campus "eNews" and "like" the Walsh Middle School
Facebook page. We post a lot of information regarding upcoming events and
volunteer opportunities on both of these sites.
If you would like more information about the
Walsh PTA, our programs and volunteer opportunities, please visit our website
located off the Walsh homepage. Click on the PTA link. We encourage every one
of you to become a part of something wonderful!
We look forward to working with all of you, so please join us in making
this a great year for our children!!
2015- 2016 PTA Executive Officers

Re: Need help!!!!
Hmmm. I agree with Revelate, but when I was in your spot, I did it very differently.
I drove a 1993 Ford Escort until 462,000 miles worth of a blown head finally caught up to me. I limped it into the local Ford dealership with smoke pouring out of both ends, literally.
With no established credit and a two year old BK.
I drove out in a used 2007 Focus (in late 2007) and a 23% interest rate.
Six months later, I refinanced at 18 %
Six months later, I was hoping to refinance down to 12% or so, and got 6.9%.
When you get so afraid about your cars reliability that it starts costing you sleep, I say bite the bullet, get the "less than ideal" loan and make your payments ON TIME, then refinance later!
Current Scores: EX08: 609, TU08: 630, EQ08: 615. 06/30/16. Last App: 05/07/16.
Zero percent financing is where the devil lives...

Despite what you may think, there's no such thing as a do-it-all mascara, according to Allure magazine. "A single tube can pack only so many effective ingredients, and formulas usually have to sacrifice one benefit for another," reports the news source.
As a result, you're better off choosing a different mascara for each effect that you want to create with your lashes. For example, if you want to extend the length of your fringe, Jane Iredale – PureLash Lengthening Mascara is a good choice that adds fibers to the ends of your natural lashes.
If you're looking for volume, Rilastil – Makeup Volumizing Mascara is the perfect option. It has a creamy texture with plenty of conditioning waxes, which work to cover every individual lash and separate them for thicker fringe.
Waterproof mascaras come in handy whenever you think you might be exposed to humidity, and defining mascaras work when you're simply trying to focus the attention on your eyeshadow.
As long as you choose a different formula to accommodate each of your eyelash needs, you should have no problem flaunting gorgeous eye makeup looks.

Fund Performance History
The detailed historical performance of the Carlson Growth and Fixed Income Fund are not displayed to the general public. Please feel free to speak with either Professional Directors regarding the performance of the Fund portfolios.
|Since inception
|Carlson Growth Fund
|Russell 2000 Growth Index
Portfolio Value: $18.1 m
In accordance with the new portfolio guidelines approved by the Board in August 2015, the Carlson Growth Fund (CGF) is now using the Russell 2500 Growth as an index. In September, CGF saw returns of -5.04% while the Russell 2500 returned -5.55%. A majority of losses stem from a few select stocks and only one stock owned by CGF showed gains in September.
European markets, as well as Chinese markets, seem to be settling and the US Market saw a rally in September which partly corrected a market overraction in some growth stocks. CGF analysts believe the Chinese slowed growth might be a part of a longer term cycle.
Data as of September 30, 2015
|Since inception
|Fixed Income Fund (Gross)
|Barclays Int. Gov/Credit Index
Portfolio Value: $19.1 m
The CFIF portfolio is now significantly overweight 10-year and the flattening of the curve in September positively affected our performance. It outperformed its benchmark by 13 bps in September.
In the markets in general, interest rates were down across the curve while credit spreads widened by 8 bps. September was marked by a stabilization in oil prices, as well as the Fed's decision to leave interest rates unchanged, despite satisfactory unemployment numbers.Data as of September 30, 2015

Capture the humble, genuine spirit of the day with our collection of family recipes to fill your holiday table with long-cherished flavors.
The dried herb coating and pilaf-style stuffing add old-world appeal to Thanksgiving's star attraction.
This classic gravy is extra flavorful because it includes the giblets and their cooking broth as well as pan drippings from the roasted turkey.
This versatile Thanksgiving favorite can be prepared on its own or used to stuff a turkey. Mix crisp apple cubes with the bread crumbs for a fresh crunch.
Dijon mustard adds a tangy twist to homey baked corn pudding. For a creative twist, spoon the pudding into clean organic cornhusks and serve.
Here's a time-honored recipe for light, fluffy mashed potatoes, just like the spuds Grandma makes.
The flavors of smoky chipotle chili pepper and toasted pecans replace the traditional saltiness of bacon in these crisp green beans.
These classy potatoes take some time to prepare, so it's best to make the dish the night before Thanksgiving. Pop the potatoes into the oven 30 minutes before guests arrive.
Bake these tiny cabbage cousins with onion, garlic, thyme, cream, and Parmesan cheese.
The flavor of these specialty onions is mild and sweet, especially when cooked with butter and sherry. Boiling onions such as these are 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
For faster shaping, cut rolled dough into 1-inch-wide strips. Hold each strip at two ends. Twist in opposite directions 2 to 3 times. Arrange on greased baking sheet; press ends down. Let rise; bake as directed.
A fancy molded salad looks as refreshing as it tastes. If you don't have a fluted mold, use a ring mold or a 2-quart square dish.
Make this ruby drink your pre-dinner treat. Champagne or sparkling grape juice adds a touch of fizz.
This towering spice cake makes a beautiful centerpiece for your dessert buffet.
It's easy to customize this delicious holiday favorite: Add the lesser amount of spices for a light, golden pie or a more generous amount for a darker more robust-flavored dessert.
Before you fill up on turkey, save room for an old classic -- sweet potato pie. A generous handful of toasted hazelnuts adds delicious crunch.

Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
AmpliPhi BioSciences inked a collaborative research and development agreement with the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) and the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) that will focus on developing and commercializing bacteriophage therapeutics to treat Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections.
The initial indication will be wounds and skin infections from S. aureus, which is reportedly the leading pathogen in healthcare-associated infections in the U.S. overall, accounting for 30.4% of surgical site infections.
AmpliPhi will retain global regulatory ownership and commercial rights to all products developed as a result of the agreement. USAMRMC will gain access rights to any products developed. WRAIR will be responsible for cGMP production of the lead Staphylococcus product, AmpliPhage-002, for Phase I and II clinical trials at its bioproduction facility.
"Multidrug-resistant bacterial infections are a significant challenge for U.S. military, as they are for the rest of the world," Kenneth A. Bertram, M.D., principle assistant for acquisition at USAMRMC, said. "The Army has had a long-standing interest in the potential of innovative therapies to address this challenge. This bacteriophage collaboration is an important step in the battle to find much needed alternative therapies to treat these infections."
AmpliPhi appears to be fighting a war on two fronts—in April it formed an exclusive channel collaboration with Intrexon to develop new bacteriophage-based therapies to target specific antibiotic-resistant infections including bacterial infections associated with acute and chronic wounds, acute and chronic P. aeruginosa lung infections, and infections of C. difficile.

Objectives: Aggregated emergency department (ED) data are useful for research, ED operations, and public health surveillance. Diagnosis data are widely available as The International Classification of Diseases, version, 9, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes; however, there are over 24,000 ICD-9-CM code-descriptor pairs. Standardized groupings (clusters) of ICD-9-CM codes have been developed by other disciplines, including family medicine (FM), internal medicine (IM), inpatient care (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality [AHRQ]), and vital statistics (NCHS). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the coverage of four existing ICD-9-CM cluster systems for emergency medicine. Methods: In this descriptive study, four cluster systems were used to group ICD-9-CM final diagnosis data from a southeastern university tertiary referral center. Included were diagnoses for all ED visits in July 2000 and January 2001. In the comparative analysis, the authors determined the coverage in the four cluster systems, defined as the proportion of final diagnosis codes that were placed into clusters and the frequencies of diagnosis codes in each cluster. Results: The final sample included 7,543 visits with 19,530 diagnoses. Coverage of the ICD-9-CM codes in the ED sample was: AHRQ, 99%; NCHS, 88%; FM, 71%; IM, 68%. Seventy-six percent of the AHRQ clusters were small, defined as grouping <1% of the diagnosis codes in the sample. Conclusions: The AHRQ system provided the best coverage of ED ICD-9-CM codes. However, most of the clusters were small and not significantly different from the raw data.
