Richard Woodhams
Principal Oboe
Samuel S. Fels Chair
Richard Woodhams became principal oboe of The Philadelphia Orchestra in 1977, succeeding John de Lancie, his distinguished teacher at the Curtis Institute. Mr. de Lancie was a pupil of Marcel Tabuteau, one of the most influential instrumentalists of the 20th century, who served as principal oboe of the Orchestra from 1915 until 1954.
Mr. Woodhams's tenure has included solo appearances with The Philadelphia Orchestra in Philadelphia, as well as in New York, Boston, and other cities throughout the United States and Asia in collaboration with its four previous music directors. His recordings with the Orchestra include Richard Strauss's Oboe Concerto with Wolfgang Sawallisch. Mr. Woodhams has given first performances with The Philadelphia Orchestra of solo works by J.S. Bach, Bellini, Haydn, Rochberg, Christopher Rouse, Joan Tower, and Vaughan Williams. He has also given premieres of chamber works by William Bolcom, Chuck Holdeman, Thea Musgrave, Bernard Rands, Ned Rorem, Richard Wernick, and Ellen Taaffe Zwilich.
Mr. Woodhams has played solo works with such notable musicians as violinists Alexander Schneider and Itzhak Perlman, pianists Christoph Eschenbach and Jean-Yves Thibaudet, and the Guarneri, Shanghai, and dePasquale string quartets. He has also recorded Joan Tower's Island Prelude with the Tokyo String Quartet.
Mr. Woodhams has taught at the Curtis Institute since 1985 and has given master classes at many prominent schools worldwide, including London's Royal College of Music, the Juilliard School, Rice University, and the Shanghai Conservatory. His former students occupy many prominent playing and teaching positions both in the United States and abroad.
Since 2000 Mr. Woodhams has taught and played annually at the Aspen Music Festival, where he performed Christopher Rouse's Oboe Concerto in 2009 with David Robertson; he has also participated in the Marlboro and La Jolla music festivals, among others. He began his musical studies in his native Palo Alto, California, with Raymond Dusté and started his orchestral career with the Saint Louis Symphony under Walter Susskind at the age of 19.

Inside NFL's New Women's Apparel Collection
Adrienne Bailon, Erin Heatherton, Olivia Culpo and Keke Palmer show off the stylish everyday sportswear at photo shoot in NYC
By The LifeMinute Team
August 29, 2016
From the runway to the red carpet sportswear is everywhere and the NFL is leading the way showcasing how to wear team pride everyday of the week and throughout the year. We caught a behind-the-scenes look at the NFL Women's campaign shoot in New York City.
"I think it's important to wear it everyday just 'cause you're reppin' your team, you're reppin' for me my hometown," says talk show host, singer and Giants fan, Adrienne Bailon.
"It's definitely a cool way to make it fashionable from T-shirts to jerseys," she says, "I like to see it in a very Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City way. You can make anything hot with a great pair of heels."
And they did. The collection boast endless options for different wearing occasions like T-shirts, hoodies, tank tops, yoga pants, knit caps and jewelry, maternity and plus size styles too. Supermodel Erin Heatherton donned her fave styles.
"My go-to pieces are just a classic hat and like a classic jersey," says the model, "It doesn't matter what you're wearing if it's a summer dress or you know if you're out at night. A baseball cap I think always sexy on a girl."
Actress, model, fashion influencer and Patriots fan Olivia Culpo says it's all about making the look your own.
"Everybody has their own personal style and their own personal taste so it just depends on what you want to do," says Culpo, "but obviously mine is really girly and I like to make it as feminine as I can."
The Rhode Island native rocks a '47 Patriots tee, dressing it up and down with her favorite fashion trend denim on denim.
Actress and singer, Keke Palmer loves to mix it up with her favorite designer duds. "I get, you know signature, staple pieces on the more expensive side and then I jazz it up with other things that aren't as expensive," she says.
Palmer uses her clothing to punctuate her personality. "I think it's the best way to express your personality through clothing," she says, "I'll always compare like band tees and jerseys, they're like some of my favorite because they immediately let people know what your personalities all about."
You can shop the looks at NFLShop.com/Women.

As the Jamaican prepares to retire after the World Championships in London, here are 9.58 reasons why he deserves to be called a legend, and how he achieved it.
He is the fastest runner in history. Bolt has set the past three world records at 100m, and it is nine years since he first broke it.
Bolt beat compatriot Asafa Powell's record of 9.74 seconds by clocking 9.72 in May 2008, then lowered it to 9.69 at the Beijing Olympics later that year.
At the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, he shaved more than a tenth of a second off his record, clocking 9.58 seconds.
Back in 1912, American Donald Lippincott ran 10.6 seconds in Stockholm to set the first time recognised by the sport's newly founded governing body, the IAAF.
Jim Hines, in 1968, was the first man to officially dip under 10 seconds, but it took almost a century for Lippincott's time to be bettered by a whole second - courtesy of Bolt.

Bogus-named case managers demeaning, ACC claimants say
Last updated 10:51, October 5 2017
Blenheim man Peter Firmin is one of at least 212 ACC claimants assigned a case manager with a bogus name.
The ex-soldier was badly injured during a military training exercise in a Malaysian jungle in 1986 at the age of 23.
A delay in hospital treatment resulted in permanent damage to his spine.
Blenheim man Peter Firmin says he poses no risk to ACC staff.
He started receiving ACC compensation payments in 1988 but maintained the amount was incorrect for 15 years before a judge found in his favour in 2014.

Did you know the Kent State University's Andrew W. Paton Field was the first airport in Summit County.
As open houses continue for public feedback on the future of the Kent State University airport, it seemed like a perfect time to do a brief "flash in time," on the history of aviation at Kent State University!
The Kent State University's Andrew W. Paton Field opened in 1920 under the name of Stow Aviation Field. However, before Kent State University purchased the aiport in 1943, it saw quite a bit of turbulence! The field was created by The Ohio Flying School and Transport Company, and $100,000 worth of stock was paid out. A portion of that money was used to lease thirty acres of farm land from Fred Smith and to construct a hangar to house the school's four Jenny airplanes. But in 1921, The Ohio Flying School and Transport Company went bankrupt, and it would face bankruptcy again after being purchased by Joseph Ash.
In 1925, A.T. Simmons and Hugh Robbins formed the Robbins Flying Service, which built a small hangar in 1930 after the original hangar burnt down in 1927. Though this field had its share of ups and downs, aviation legends such as Charles Lindbergh, Eddie Rickenbacher, and Floyd Bennet were known to have used the field. However, financial woes hit again in the early 1930's, forcing the Robbins Flying Service to suspend operation.
Soon there was a new operator by the name of Frankie C. Renner, who formed Stow Flying Field, Inc. This made her one of the first, if not the first, female airport operators on record. In 1939, Rudy Van De Vere purchased the 78 acre farm from Smith and the airport became known as Stow Field. By 1940 three sod runways were in use. In 1945 Van De Vere built the terminal building and then in 1947 he erected the large army surplus hangar on the field. The University purchased the airport from Van De Vere in 1943 and renamed it the Kent State University Airport. In 1966, the name of the field was changed to Andrew W. Paton Field to honor the professor who taught the University's first aerospace course in 1947.
Currently, the university uses the airfied to support its Aeronautics Program, which is one of 32 accredited aviation education programs available worldwide.

The sound of "sweet music" hit the Blossom Music Center for the first time on July 19, 1968, under the guidance of George Szell, the musical director of the Cleveland Orchestra.Coming in at a cool $6.5 million, it was touted as one the most ambitious cultural endeavors in northeastern Ohio history to be realized.
Under President Robert I. White, the Blossom Festival School emerged as a collaboration with the Cleveland Orchestra's Blossom Music Center. The Kent State University faculty in conjunction with the Cleveland Orchestra musicians became a hot commodity, as students from all over the world competed for a chance to study under the newly created partnership.
By 1971, the Porthouse Theatre was created--thanks to a gift from Cyril Porthouse, an industrialist. Summer nights were soon filled with captive audiences, listening to musicals and enjoying a plethora of comedies and dramas!

S t a r i n g at the cursor blink feels like all I can do. I can't quite comprehend how I got to this p l a c e.
That's all I remember him saying, and her leaving quickly, complaining. Saying goodbye. Insanely fake, like I didn't mean anything I was saying to her. I miss when things were normal and we didn't have to spend time walking on egg shells, in our own home. More of a household. A home is more or less characterized as a place of enjoyment or where you can go to relax.
"It's never been this bad." S h e' s finally gone, and my father can breath again. I don't blame him. He finally stated what had been building up and bothering him for years now.
It's been bad, but not this terrible. It's been bad but not to the point where I am terrified of what she may do next. It has been bad, but not to the point where I thought my entire life would be defined on one afternoon of drunken fights and checking up on her in my parents bedroom to make sure everything is alright at 4:00 when she is still in bed.
I feel bad for my younger brother. I go out with friends and try to dismiss the thoughts flowing through the mind of mine that works almost 24/7. And when I am with those people who I love, it feels like I forget for a split second. Like they are the family I chose. He doesn't have many people to talk to about everything. I want to be here for him when she calls him worthless. And I aspire to be the best older sister; I hope when I move out this year, things finally heal.
"What is going to happen when I leave?" I ask my little brother. Slowly, almost dreading what he has to say. "If things get bad, we will figure it out. I love you. You & I will always be family."

Planning A Kitchen Garden
A kitchen garden is usually a space set apart from the rest of the garden. Ideally it is situated as close to the kitchen as possible to allow easy access to it. Also having a water source close by is an idea. It can contain herbs, vegetable as well as certain fruits and flowers for added colour.
Establishing a kitchen garden helps to calm some people and reduces their stress levels, by helping them reconnect with nature. Research has shown that gardening is beneficial for mental health.
With ever decreasing economic conditions, a lot of homeowners are establishing a kitchen garden to save money and to give them a healthy lifestyle. Organic gardening has become more popular as store prices soar. By growing our own produce, we tend to eat more of the fresh fruit and vegetables, therefore we stay healthier in mind and body.
A kitchen garden can contain potted herbs that are able to be moved around to obtain the benefits of the sunlight. It should be noted however that not all herbs thrive in pots, therefore planting them in the kitchen garden along with vegetables is an advantage as companion plants.
Walled kitchen gardens are ideal to have fruit trees trained against them as the heat from the walls helps produce an abundance of fruit.
Glasshouses. In colder climates kitchen gardens are housed in a glasshouse to allow for an extended growing period. They are also ideal to grow some exotic species of fruit and vegetables.
A kitchen garden does not really require a large amount of land, nor does it have to be labour intensive as a lot of the plants survive well in containers. When growing vegetables be sure to have a
soil that is slightly acidic for a successful crop. Adding an organic fertilizer will also be beneficial.
By planting a mixture of vegetables, herbs, flowers and fruit in the kitchen garden will result in an eye catching display. Define the space for the garden with pavers to give you easy access to the
beds. Try not to have too large abed as you need to be able to access the plants without too much effort. Mulching is important to keep the soil moist and helps to keep off any bugs that may be lurking.
Design your kitchen gardens so that you are able to access between them with a wheelbarrow. If planting beans in your kitchen garden allow room for a trellis for them to climb. Tomatoes in your kitchen garden are one of the best things to plant. There is nothing nicer tasting than a tomato that has been home grown and ripened on the vine. Be mindful that tomato plant too requires stakes or a trellis to climb up.
Once you have established your kitchen garden, it is essential to fertilize it and water regularly. Adding compost that you have made yourself is also a good idea. Keep an eye out for bugs, weeds and any diseases that may affect your garden. Mulching with good quality mulch will help keep the weed at bay in your kitchen garden.

Posted on Oct 19, 2016
Naples, Florida-Since the year 2000, 43 babies under the age of one went to sleep and never woke up. October is Safe Sleep Awareness Month.
The Florida Department of Health in Collier County in conjunction with The Healthy Start Coalition of SWFL and The NCH Safe and Healthy Children's Coalition of Collier County promotes community-based maternal and child health programs that focus on the reduction of infant mortality, racial disparities and low birth weight. The NCH birthing place gives out halo blankets, safe sleep literature and a copy of "Sleep Baby Safe and Snug," which gently reminds caregivers of best practices while putting baby to sleep. Through a grant from Trinity by the Cove Episcopal Church, The Florida Department of Health gives out free pack and plays to income qualified families in Collier County.
"Forty Countries have a lower infant mortality rate than the United States. This heartbreaking condition can happen in any family regardless of income, education or community." said Dr. Debra Shepard, Chair of Collier County Safe Sleep Committee. "Research shows that simple improvements in the sleep environment can decrease the risk of SUIDS, and educating parents and caregivers will save lives."
To ensure safe infant sleep, babies should always be put to sleep on their backs, alone in their own crib or bassinet, with no bumpers, pillows, quilts, comforter or other objects in the crib. Parents and caregivers should not bed-share with their babies; and anyone under the influence of drugs, alcohol or if they are smoking, should not rest with baby.
A Butterfly Release remembering the 43 babies lost to unsafe sleep practices since 2000 will take place October 27 at 9 a.m. at the NCH Garden of Hope and Courage, 332 8th Street N, Naples, FL 34102. Personal testimonies will be given by families.
Educating the public is the first step toward promoting safe sleep practice here in Collier County. Please join us for our Butterfly Release.

The Port Alberni RCMP has put a significant number of local gang members in jail.
The gang, called the Wolf Pack, is known for using violence to force debt repayment or exact street vengance.
There are upwards of ten associates of the group in jail now, awaiting trial for a variety of violence-related charges.
RCMP spokesperson Corporal Amelia Hayden says the group is intertwined with the local drug subculture, and there is no risk to the general public.
She said all members of the local group are known to police, and are usually in and out of jail.
She said the local group has no attachment to another gang called the wolfpack that operates in the lower mainland.

I've been running a lot lately. I've been hesitant to mention it too loudly here in the blog, since technically, I'm training for a half marathon that I'm still not entirely certain I'm going to be ready to run. Even if I don't manage the race, I will have finished the summer in the best shape of my life. I have to admit, I owe a lot of that success to my jogging stroller.
When I first got pregnant, I knew the one place we wanted to buy quality was in a stroller. I figured we would use our stroller so much, we would want something that could stand up to some abuse and be easy, even fun to use. I knew I wanted a jogging stroller, so I could give myself the best chance possible to get active again. Do 5 minutes of online research into jogging strollers, and it seems pretty unanimous that the BOB Revolution is the best in the industry.
In the end, we didn't have to pay the $500+ to buy it ourselves. It was gifted to us by Isabel's grandparents instead.
I started using the stroller with Isabel the day we brought her home. With an adapter, her car seat snapped right in and she was good to go. We walked everywhere in those early weeks. Once I was given the go-ahead by my doctor to start running again, we even went for a slow, easy jog. BOB doesn't recommend running with the car seat attached at all – it makes it top-heavy and more liable to tip – but I felt comfortable enough running on smooth paths at a very slow pace. I would white knuckle the handle and keep a careful eye on Isabel to make sure she didn't bounce around too much, and we went.
Those runs weren't long, and over the winter, came to a complete halt. It's pretty much impossible to run through the snow with any stroller at all, even one with wheels the size this one has. In fact, over the winter, I hardly used my stroller at all, preferring instead to pop Isabel into our Boba baby carrier. But, it still got plenty of use, two days a week, through all types of weather, by Isabel's awesome babysitter.
We switched Isabel out of the car seat after I had stopped running with her, as the weather got colder, when she was about 4 months old. According to the manual, BOB recommends using the car seat adapter until babies are 8 weeks old, but cautions against running with them until they are 8 months old. Obviously, I broke that rule, but by the time I was ready to start running again in the spring, Isabel was their recommended age, and was thrilled to come along with me on my runs as they got longer and longer and longer.
Some things I love about the BOB:
- The wheels! They're air-filled and huge, allowing it to glide like nothing else. The large wheels also mean stairs aren't a barrier to us. While I still tend to seek out elevators for convenience, we're quite capable of bouncing down or up a set of stairs. There's one entrance to the path I run on which is accessible only by about 50 steps, and they have never stopped us.
- The maneuverability. I can steer this bad boy easily with just one hand. Tight corners are also easy to navigate, since the three-wheel design means I don't need a lot of space to turn. Rocky, muddy, or snowy terrain don't stop us either.
- The fold. For being such a large stroller, it folds down pretty flat and, since all the wheels are easy to take off and put back on again, it's no chore to fold it up to put it in our car. We drive a Volkswagen Golf hatchback, so we don't have a lot of space, but it fits without any problems.
Some things I don't like about the BOB:
- The storage. The basket is fairly small and difficult to get things in and out of. There is a pocket on the back of the seat as well, but I mostly find it useless for storing anything of note. It also doesn't come with a caddy, so all of this storage is out of reach while you're walking, so there's no such thing as multitasking.
- The size. It's huge! I have taken it on the subway twice and have felt self-conscious and in the way both times. We now have a small umbrella stroller for those trips, and to take anywhere there might be crowds or really tight spaces that the BOB just doesn't fit into.
- The seat incline. I guess it makes sense that, for running purposes, Isabel should not be sitting entirely upright. It's probably safer for her to be somewhat reclined. But, I wish there was another setting, a strolling setting, so I could put the seat into a fully upright position when we're walking around and she wants to see the world. She spends a lot of time clinging onto the snack tray so she can see everything.
- The accessories. The BOB comes very stripped down – just the stroller and nothing else. We had to purchase the car seat adapter separately and, later on, I added a stroller caddy for a place to put a cup of coffee and my phone while I'm walking. I bought a rain cover and, I shelled out the $50 for the snack tray for Isabel. Some of these accessories seem to me like they should be included – the snack tray and the stroller caddy in particular. But, the big problem isn't that they don't come with the stroller. The problem is how expensive they are, and how inaccessible. If I had purchased the BOB car seat adapter, the BOB snack tray, the BOB stroller caddy, and the BOB rain cover, I would have been looking at another $200+ in accessories. I managed to find a stroller caddy and a rain cover that were much cheaper, however. Perhaps an even bigger problem is that I had difficulty getting my hands on both the BOB car seat adapter and the BOB snack tray. They don't actually carry these things in store; they need to be ordered and shipped. For some reason, at the time I ordered the snack tray, the only place I could get it had it on back order, while everywhere else that had previously carried it last year mysteriously removed it from their catalogs or upped the price by a good $20.

Mixing instructions:
Add the orange juice in the glass so it fills it about 1/3. Then take a napkin and put it over the glass pushing it down toward the juice. Push napkin down as far as it can go without touching the juice. Next pour the vodka very slowly so it dribbles on top of the juice. This will create a layer of vodka that lays on top of the juice because of the different densities of the liquids.
Creator/contributor's comments:
Take this drink as if it were a shot. You will only tast orange juice--enjoy!!

We can come together to find a realistic solution.
I have to commend the efforts of our City and County Commission for successfully dealing with considerable obstacles to create a one-stop homeless center within the next year.
City Commissioner Jack Donovan has emerged as an outstanding advocate for our area homeless population. I hope the rest of the city commissioners listen to his voice of reason regarding the Tent City inhabitants. When there has been so much effort put into finding a reasonable solution for the homeless, why would the government aggravate the homeless problem by spreading the problem to a larger area. By disbursing many of the people staying in Tent City they will be forced to seek shelter elsewhere.
If there is a criminal element which is causing problems for downtown citizens, no one would dispute the solution of arresting and segregating these people from the rest of the group.
Regardless of where anyone might stand on a continuum of perception of the homeless, from vagrant, lazy, only wanting a handout to seeing how institutions and support systems have failed them, we can come together to find a realistic solution.

Tour Georgia's Cumberland Island with a naturalist and meet the island's "wild" horses.
by Darley Newman
Roughly the size of Manhattan, Cumberland is a small island off the southern Georgia coast that boasts 17.5 miles of pristine beaches and wild horses.
It is no more developed today that it was in the early 20th century, as large landowners and now the National Park Service have tightly regulated development on the island for over a century.
I was there to tour Georgia's Cumberland Island with naturalist Fred Whitehead, who has an intimate knowledge of the island's wild horses and varied ecosystems.
The Greyfield Inn
If you are traveling to Cumberland, make ferry reservations in advance, as the National Park Service limits the number of people going on and off of the island. You can either camp at sea camps or hike to backcountry camps, or stay at the historic Greyfield Inn. I chose the latter, as I knew that after a day of touring around and chasing after wild horses I would want a hot shower and a full meal. I also wanted to experience the inn's history.
Greyfield was built in 1900 as a wedding present for Lucy and Thomas Carnegie's daughter, Margaret. The inn is best described as gracious and peaceful. In true Southern tradition, Greyfield has a long, deep porch. There are rocking chairs and comfy porch swings with oversized pillows to rest on. Baskets of blankets are within arm's reach if the evening air brings a chill.
After settling in and meeting my gracious hosts, the Ferguson family, I sat out on the big porch in a rocking chair eating my lunch and observing a hummingbird feast at a birdfeeder no more than five feet away. My attention turned toward the expansive, live oak-shaded lawn after hearing the sound of hooves on the hard ground. A couple of horses had strolled out of the forest to graze on the grass. I had to remind myself that these horses are feral and wander freely all over the island.
I was ready to learn more about Cumberland's unique horse population, but first my host wanted to take me on a tour of Greyfield. He assured me that the horses would be around when we got back, so I reluctantly followed him around the house and grounds.
The inside of the inn is decorated with antiques and feels very comfortable--after all, you're staying with friends rather than at an inn. The inn is owned and operated by Carnegie descendants, and you are free to make yourself at home. Perhaps most interesting is their "Honest John" bar system. Anytime a guest wants a drink, they are free to fix themselves one, keeping a "chit" or tab. Though a simple gesture and pleasant accommodation, it invites guests to relax, open up, and make new friends.
But the Inn could wait. After all, I had horses to see!
Cumberland Island Eco-Tour
I had heard that the gnats and ticks were abundant on the island. I wasn't too keen on that, so I bathed myself in Off before leaving Greyfield to take my nature tour. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that spring and autumn are the seasons for pesky insects; so instead, I had only to contend with the warm Georgia sun.
Fred Whitehead owns one of the few cars allowed on Cumberland Island. He pulled up in a well-worn 1970's Land Rover and greeted me with a friendly smile. Fred was dressed for safari and exploration in a jungle green T-shirt and British khaki shorts. His skin is tanned from years spent outdoors, and his eyes are sharp and inquisitive. There is a Teddy Rooseveltian quality about him. Fred is the real deal. There's no one who has as much experience or such an intimate knowledge of the flora and fauna of Cumberland. Better still, he's a kind, intelligent gentleman who dazzled me with knowledge of the horses and other wildlife we discovered.
Fred packed our crew into the Land Rover and off we went onto the dirt roads that snake through the subtropical forest. We were in search of horses, but first, Fred gave us a little background.
The horses on Cumberland are usually called "wild" horses, but like the Chincoteague Ponies, the Australian Brumbies and the Mustangs out west, Cumberland's are actually feral. This means that their ancestors were once domesticated and that these horses have been left to fend for themselves in the wild.
Cumberland Island History
Fred explained how the Spanish first brought horses to Cumberland in the 1500s, only to abandon them shortly thereafter. Following the Spanish were plantation owners who tried to make a living from the land. They too left horses behind. This cycle of population and abandonment continued for a few hundred years until the mid 19th century saw an interest in Cumberland by newly wealthy Americans from the north. Over time the horses grew feral.
There would be no riding feral horses for us. I hoped we might, but Fred laughed. Apparently, even if we had a domesticated, well-trained horse, it wouldn't be safe to ride anywhere on Cumberland because of the other feral horses there.
Fred told a story about someone on the island who wanted to start a carriage tour operation. Well, during the first tour out, the horse pulling the carriage was attacked by one of the feral stallions, which proceeded to attack the carriage horse all the way home. I can only imagine that scene!
Daylight was growing short, and Fred took us back to Greyfield to refresh and prepare for more adventures the next day. Little did I know that I would find a great many horses, including a pony just a few months old, and I even got a few photos of him!

Steve Prescott played Rugby League for St Helens, Hull, Wakefield, Ireland and was a GB Lions Tourist.
In September 2006, Steve was diagnosed with Pseudomyxoma Peritonei a rare form of Cancer, he was told that he would not see his two children grow up; he was given months to live. He underwent an Emergency Operation in Basingstoke Hospital and a tumour was removed from his abdomen.
The Steve Prescott Fund was formed immediately by a group of Rugby League Supporters they raised money for Steve and his family so Steve could concentrate on his battle against Cancer. Over the next year Steve defied medical experts and managed to build himself up to his rugby playing weight by spending hours in Gym.
At a Wigan v Saints Charity Supporters match in August 2007 for Christies Hospital Manchester Steve was invited to be the Guest of Honour, it was decided in a conversation between Steve and Martin Blondel that they would start to raise money for the two organisations that had supported Steve throughout his ordeal Christies and the RFL Benevolent Fund. The Steve Prescott Fund was ceased and The Steve Prescott Foundation created
The Long Walk Home was the first Event organised for the Foundation, it was 200 mile walk involving all the Super League Clubs within the M62 Corridor, it was a huge success £60,000 was raised, since then the Foundation has expanded and at the moment we have given over £380,000 to the Charities with a wide range of events from Rugby Legends Boxing each other to Steve completing the London Marathon plus the highly successful Carnegie Challenge which entailed a 900 mile bike ride from Catalans (Perpignan), 26 Mile Dragon Boat down the Thames and Half Marathon run into Wembley to deliver the Carnegie Challenge Cup Final Ball in time for the Kick Off.
Steve at the moment is still undergoing treatment at The Christie but this does not stop him from trying impossible feats, he pushes his body to the limits.
In 2010 Steve was awarded the MBE for his services to Rugby League and Charity.
Steve has just completed the Engage Mutual Paris to London:Marathon Challenge. This consisted of running the Paris Marathon, Cycling to Calais, Rowing across the Channel, Cycling to London and taking part in the Virgin London Marathon. In typical Steve Prescott style he managed to beat his personal best.
With your help and support The Steve Prescott Foundation will help others to overcome adversity.
Alex Service pays his own special tribute.
There are four words in particular that described Stephen Prescott: competitive, resilient, courageous and inspirational. These qualities were prevalent throughout his life, in which sport played a dominant role. To reach the top in Rugby League like Stephen did, a fiercely competitive attitude is needed, together with great self-belief and courage. Stephen also had to overcome several set-backs during his sporting career and, in the face of terminal illness, he showed terrific courage and has become an inspirational figure to thousands, not just within the Rugby League community itself. The Stephen Prescott Foundation has been established to provide funds for both The Christie Hospital in Manchester – one of the world's leading cancer hospitals - and the Rugby League Benevolent Fund, which offers help to those who have been seriously injured playing one of the world's toughest sports.
From a very early age, sport became the major focus of Stephen's life. His father, Eric, was a successful professional rugby league player with St. Helens, Salford and Widnes, so it is true to say that sport was 'in the genes.' Even in the early days, it became apparent that Stephen would make his mark. He revelled in the challenging, competitive atmosphere of matches and his skills were much in demand to the extent that he played two sports – soccer and rugby league, regularly on the same weekend. He attracted the attention of scouts from the St. Helens Rugby League club and achieved a burning ambition by signing for his home town team in the early 1990s. Rugby League is a physically demanding sport and Stephen was never the biggest of players. Initially it was thought that he was not going to make it, yet the club kept faith in him and, from some superb performances in the Reserves, he gradually forced his way into the First Team, first of all as a winger, then as a full-back – the position he made his own at Knowsley Road. The full-back position is such a vital one which involves making crucial 'one-on-one tackles,' catching soaring kicks from the opposition and setting attacks in motion from 'broken-field' running. Stephen did all this and more. It was his pace that was his biggest asset and he scored many memorable tries for the Saints, including some fabulous 'length-of-the-field' efforts. The crowd really took to this flamboyant little guy who was prepared to give his all during a match, tackling and running above his weight. He was one of them, after all, and they loved him!
Stephen became a full-time professional with the Saints with the advent of the European Super League in 1996. During this time he worked hard in the gym and became one of the strongest players at the club when body weight was taken into account. Stephen and the team also enjoyed a fabulous season overall with the club winning a memorable trophy 'double' of Challenge Cup and League – their first such achievement for twenty years. It was a truly marvellous time for Saints' supporters and the town of St. Helens itself. In the Challenge Cup final at Wembley against Bradford Bulls – one of the greatest matches of them all - Stephen was superb. He scored two tries and was denied a hat-trick by the ball bouncing off the cross-bar when he surely would have caught it and grounded it over the line! Stephen was a virtual ever-present in the 1996 season and well-respected by his team-mates on and off the field. Indeed, the friendships made at the time were important in the organisation of a special match some eleven years later at Knowsley Road, when the 'Boys of 1996' were only too pleased to turn out for their former full-back for a special fund-raising 'Legends' game on his behalf. Stephen's superb form meant further recognition in the game. He graduated to the full England international squad for the 1996 Super League European Championships. In his first match against France at Gateshead, Stephen scored two tries and kicked seven goals in England's 73-0 success, breaking the previous points record set by another former Saint (and full-back) Geoff Pimblett. Stephen had also represented Great Britain Under 21s against Australia in 1994 and France in 1995. After the Australian game, Stephen was picked out by the Australian Coach Bob Fulton as having exceptional ability and recommended his promotion into the full Great Britain side for the Test Matches.
At the end of the 1996 season, Stephen's achievements at club level were recognised when he was selected for the Super League tour of Oceania and New Zealand, together with seven of his team-mates. Although he didn't play in the Test Matches, it was a supreme honour for Stephen to be a member of the British rugby league elite. Clearly the years of dedication and determination to succeed had brought due reward for his efforts. Stephen returned from the tour to achieve further success with his club, as the Saints retained the Challenge Cup for the first time in their history, ironically against the same opponents as the previous year – Bradford Bulls. He produced another marvellous display and was denied a sensational 'length-of-the-field' scoring opportunity only after a last gasp tackle from the Bradford defence. Saints' fans loved his flamboyance and enthusiasm, yet there were troubled times ahead. 1997 proved to be a relative disappointment after Wembley and Stephen suffered an injury which blighted the rest of his campaign. At the end of the season, it was decided to transfer him to Hull Sharks – a decision that did not exactly prove popular with the St. Helens fans and Stephen himself. Yet he was to show typical grit and determination which was to see him succeed in his new environment.
Like the Saints' fans, the Hull crowd love a battler and took Stephen to their hearts almost immediately. They appreciated his commitment to his new cause and he became the regular goal-kicker for the Sharks. After two seasons, however, financial problems meant that he was transferred to Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, who as it happened, were hardly solvent themselves. Despite further difficult times when wages were not paid Stephen continued to gain the respect of his team-mates and supporters on the terraces with many fine displays for the Wildcats. Twelve months later, however, he was back at Hull (now minus their Sharks tag), where he remained until injury ended his career in 2003, ironically after representing his county, Lancashire, against Yorkshire at Odsal stadium in Bradford.
He was loved by the Hull fans and made many friends in the city. The respect and affection was mutual. After his playing career came to an end, Stephen became a teacher at Hull Community College, in the Sports Department, where his enthusiasm and engaging personality made him a popular figure with students and staff alike. Apart from teaching a Level 1 BTEC course in Physical Education, which he helped to develop, he also coached the College's Rugby League team with great success. Although his days as a Super League professional were over, Stephen continued to participate in sport by joining Hull Ionians Rugby Union club. Although the matches were still competitive, it was a chance to enjoy himself after the rigours of Super League and he relished the opportunity to learn new skills and generally muck in with his new team-mates. He also had a few games for the England International Vets XV, who relished the opportunity of obtaining the services of such an experienced rugby player.
Unfortunately, just when Stephen was settling down in his teaching role, things were to take a turn for the worse. At the age of just 32, he was cruelly diagnosed with Pseudomyxoma Peritonei, or PMP, a rare tumour that has a tendency to grow very slowly over many years. The diagnosis came in the same week as the birth of his second child, Koby, in September 2006. The Rugby League community responded superbly in the face of such news and pledged support both in financial and emotional terms. Stephen was able to have an operation at a specialist hospital in Basingstoke. It was a measure of his popularity that people came forward to help from all walks of life to help, not just from the Rugby League fraternity. One particularly poignant fund-raising gesture came from his former team-mates at Hull FC, who, ironically, were playing against another of Stephen's former clubs, St. Helens in the 2006 Grand Final at Old Trafford. In front of a crowd of over 60,000 they entered the famous arena in special warm-up tops emblazoned with PRESCOTT on the back, which were later auctioned on his behalf. This was a clear indication of the man's popularity and the tremendous respect he engendered from everyone who met him.
Stephen responded well to further treatment at The Christie Hospital in Manchester, (one of only two centres in Britain dedicated to the treatment of PMP), although there is still no cure for his condition. Yet Stephen steadfastly refused to let the situation get him down. He was thankful for the many fund-raising efforts done on his behalf when his illness was diagnosed, but, being Stephen, the onus then shifted towards working tirelessly to help others in similar situations.
The Rugby League community clearly took Stephen to their hearts. Despite his own extreme situation, he has become a beacon of hope for those in similar circumstances. He continued to fight ceaselessly against the odds – something that had been apparent from his early years when he strove hard to reach the top in the most physically-demanding sport of them all. His positive personal qualities helped him to achieve on the rugby field, as a College Tutor and were integral to his success with his Foundation work over the past few years. He significantly raised the profile of the Rugby League Benevolent Fund and highlighted the importance of fund-raising for a specialist cancer hospital like The Christie. The Stephen Prescott Foundation is now recognised on a national and international basis. From his own experiences, he was always willing to offer support and solace and he remains an inspirational character for anyone who has been affected directly or indirectly by serious illness. Indeed, many people from all walks of life have been inspired by his sheer enthusiasm and determination. Stephen is the ultimate role model for showing that it is possible to make a genuine difference and help other people despite facing insurmountable personal odds. He was a passionate believer that illness and disability should not prevent a person from undertaking challenges and achieving hitherto inconceivable personal goals. Overall, his achievements were both significant and considerable
Stephen was so proud to receive the MBE in 2009 for those achievements and, of course, he was quick to praise those who had helped him on the way, not least wife Linzi and the two boys, Taylor and Koby. His fighting spirit remained even when his chances of survival seemed in the balance. When the end came, in November 2013, there was a massive out-pouring of emotion. Who could ever forget the crowds at his funeral and the sight of the England Rugby League World Cup squad outside Lowe House Church in the rain, listening to the service inside. They didn't mind – they just had to be there to pay their respects, like so many on the day
We all have our own special memories of Stephen and it is great to know that his name will remain forever in the public domain with some marvellous tributes: Saints and Hull compete for the Stephen Prescott trophy and you will probably walk to the match at Langtree Park over the Stephen Prescott Bridge. In 2014, the Rugby Football League announced the Stephen Prescott Man of Steel trophy will be awarded at future Grand Finals. Enough said!
There will only ever be one Stephen Prescott!

Inspirational Athletes: Mike Vick
If you do not know the name Michael Vick, then you're probably either a person who has been living under a rock or a really young sports fan who is sent here by God to show just how old the 90s babies really are.
Born Michael Dwayne Vick, Michael Vick is a former NFL quarterback who took the football world by storm. Vick played 13 seasons in the NFL and is remembered for his tenure with the Atlanta Falcons and his comeback stint where he played for the Philadelphia Eagles. This might be controversial to say, given all the controversy that Vick was in, however, when one looks at his Vick's life, Michael Vick is an inspirational figure.
Vick was born in Newport News, Virginia as the second oldest of four children. Both his mother Brenda Vick and father Michael Boddie were teenagers (Brenda 16 and Michael 17) when they had Michael Vick. Although the pair worked tirelessly to support the family, the two still lived in the projects, a crime-ridden neighbourhood known as the Ridley Circle Homes. Boddie was away from the home majority of the time as he worked long hours at a shipyard as a sandblaster and spray-painter. Brenda was the one primarily responsible for raising the children and the children believed she was such a good mother that they chose to take on her last name. His father was not completely out of the picture, as he introduced Vick to football at an early age. This is when Michael Vick's story becomes inspirational, well at least the first part of his story, when one considers what happens next.
Vick tore up the high school football scene. Known for his cannon arm and quick feet, Vick was successful at the two high schools he attended. He became a Warwick High School legend for his three years there. Vick's football journey then took him to Virginia Tech. He Redshirted his freshman year then subsequently played two successful seasons at Virginia Tech. His 1999 freshman year was especially impressive. Vick led Virginia Tech's football program to an 11-0 record before their bowl game loss to Florida State. Vick had an 180.4 passer rating and was third in Heisman Trophy voting.
Vick continued to add to his impressive resume when he was drafted 1st overall by the Atlanta Falcons, becoming the first ever African-American quarterback to be drafted first overall. The story gets even better for Vick. Michael Vick absolutely laid waste to the league in his time as an Atlanta Falcon. In his first full year as the starting quarterback in 2002, Vick was named a pro-bowler. This was in spite of his less than impressive wide receiver core that featured the likes of Brian Finneran, a 33-year-old Shawn Jefferson, and Trevor Gaylor. Fun Fact, none of those receivers ever eclipsed 1000 yards or more in a season with or without Vick. Vick became a pro bowler again in 2004 after coming back from injury and then subsequently became a pro bowler the following season. Then in 2006, Vick became the first quarterback to rush for 1000 yards and had his Falcons had a better record than 7-9 in the 2006 season, then Vick definitely could have been a 2006 pro bowler.
However, just as things were getting good for Michael Vick, things started to go sour. Contrary to popular belief, Vick was known as a respectful and polite kid. However, that is a far cry to what he became during his tenure as the Atlanta Falcons starting quarterback. Vick was in controversy after controversy. This included his "middle finger" towards Saints fans after the Falcons loss to the Saints during the 2006 season. Although controversies haunted Vick and his reputation, Vick's play overshadowed his off-field antics. With that being said, in April 2007 an investigation on Vick's cousin, Davon, led to the police finding a property owned by Vick that was used as a venue for dogfighting.
Michael Vick was indicted and after months of investigations, Vick pled guilty to his role in the Bad Newz Kennels dogfighting scandal. Vick was sentenced to 5 years imprisonment. In addition to that Vick was also barred for the NFL (although was reinstated after 2 years), had to give back $20 million of his signing bonus, and his reputation was justifiably tarnished. This effectively left Vick in a bad way financially, with no income and numerous debts, along with previous bad spending habits, Vick had no choice but to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
With all of that, Vick could have very well have crumbled under the weight of his problems, however, Vick turned his life around.
Mentored by legendary coach Tony Dungy, Vick began the path to redemption. Vick kept himself in shape and was released from prison after 18 months. Vick would eventually be given a 1 year/$1.6 million contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, with none of the money being guaranteed. There was also a second-year option worth $5 million in the second year. Vick made the most of his opportunity. In his first year with the Eagles during the 2009 season, Vick played as a backup sparingly but kept his reputation clean. Vick then got his career on track at the start of the 2010 season.
Then Eagles franchise quarterback Donavan McNabb was traded to the Redskins in the 2010 offseason and during week 1 of the 2010 regular season, Kevin Kolb was concussed. This led to Vick getting a shot and he made the most of it. After nearly leading the Eagles to a comeback in their 27-20 week 1 loss to the Green Bay Packers, Vick proceeded to have a career year. During the 2010 season, Vick passed for 3018 yards (passer rating of 100.2), 21 touchdowns to 6 interceptions, rushed for 676 yards at 6.8 yards a carry, have 9 rushing touchdowns, and led the Eagles to the playoffs.
In addition to that, Vick made the Pro Bowl for the fourth time, was named the NFL Comeback play of the year, and won the Bert Bell Award. In the subsequent years, Vick proceeded to pay off all of his debt and depending on whatever site you go to, Vick currently has an estimated net worth anywhere from $15-16 million.
There are a lot of inpiring things about Vick's story. The facts that he escaped the projects, was able to provide for his family and became a prominent NFL figure is enough alone. However, for me, it was his story post his dog fighting scandal that is the most inspiring. What Michael Vick did was absolutely inexcusable and he needed to serve his time. However, we have to remember why jail was created in the first place. Surely if everyone who was a convict was beyond redemption, then the expensive measure of prison would not be created. The number one purpose for jails and prisons is because they are put in place to reform people.
This is a concept that many people struggle with. This is not even to say that jails are the best way to reform bad people. This is not even to say that all bad people can be reformed or even should be released from jail. What is being said is that jail worked to reform Michael Vick when it did not work to reform many people and that should be recognized as battling adversity.
According to a study done by the U.S Department of Justice, in 2005 almost 68% of the convicts who were released that year was eventually rearrested. Be those numbers, Michael Vick had a 2/3 chance of being in trouble again with the law. One could make the argument that these numbers could have even been accentuated by the fact that he definitely could have used the money from illegal activity. However, Vick battled financial hardships and the pressures that come with being disgraced to re-inspire those he previously let down. That is why Michael Vick is an inspirational athlete.

For Emily Yanero, athletics and art blend easily.
That's obvious in one of her recent works hanging in Mount Hebron basketball coach Dave Greenberg's office. The tiny bits of colorful paper arranged beneath the word "defense" form two girl basketball players in action.
The painstaking precision of her artwork reflects the way the All-Metro second-team guard approaches basketball -- and everything else she does.

Zombie Book Editor Monique Happy Talks About Her Process
Aspiring authors, take heed: behind every great writer there is a great editor, and as far as the zombie genre goes, there are certainly none more multifarious or prolific than Monique Happy, who has done work for Shawn Chesser, Sean Liebling, Mark Tufo and G.R. Mountjoy to name only a few. Monique took the time to take some of my questions and her answers are sure to be of interest to anyone salivating at the proposition of preparing a novel for publication.
Bryan Way: I understand you were a legal secretary for over 26 years. Has anything about that type of work carried over into editing novels and short stories?
Monique Happy: Yes! I gained an invaluable, hands-on education during my years in the law offices of Southern California. A legal secretary must maintain meticulous attention to detail and be able to keep cool under the pressure of a deadline. These skills hold me in good stead when working with my authors. I also honed my editing and proofreading skills on legal briefs of all descriptions. At the same time, I authored dozens of legal documents, which of course the attorneys took full credit for, and rightly so – just like my author clients do, and should.
I could have been a paralegal, but I enjoyed working a busy litigation desk and making everything picture perfect before it left the office. Taking a document or manuscript and tweaking it until it is at its finest is like working a puzzle to me: I get in the zone and can spend hours fine tuning it until it shines. I get a great deal of satisfaction from what I do.
BW: Editing and proofreading are, of course, part of any writing process. Do you have any good examples of what you bring to the table as an editor?
MH: Well, as I said above, I am meticulous in detail. I have stellar English skills and I enjoy what I do. I also maintain constant communication with my clients, and keep them involved. I also network heavily with other authors, editors, bloggers, reviewers and fans, and spend a lot of time promoting my authors.
BW: Is there anything you find that plagues first-time writers the most?
MH: I think that first-time writers are often in a hurry to publish. They are excited about their story, and they rely upon their beta readers for advice, and their friends and family to help them edit their manuscripts. Then they rush to publish. There is absolutely nothing wrong with their enthusiasm, and beta readers are invaluable; however, the writer often skips the next crucial step: procuring the services of a professional editor.
I cannot tell you how many of my clients have self-published before having that professional editing done, and they then get crucified in the reviews. It's an unfortunate fact that those reviews can haunt an author for a long time to come. There's no way to delete them! I only wish there was. I could offer that as part of my services! Then they hire me, and I make sure their manuscript is tight and well-finished before they re-release it. Their reviews generally climb up into the 5-star range. I do not say that in an attempt to brag. These stories are great on their own; they just need polishing.
BW: I recently interviewed Shawn Chesser, who could not speak more highly of you. Could you tell us about how the two of you got together?
MH: Actually, Shawn was introduced to me by another client of mine, G.R. Mountjoy, author of the 3 Years After militaristic post-apocalyptic series. Shawn is a great guy, and a real pleasure to work with. I've had the privilege of watching him grow as an author, as I've edited all five of his books in the Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse series. His last one really blew me away! I just kept shaking my head as I edited it. It's truly a joy to be Shawn's editor.
BW: You seem to have made your name editing the writing of authors who work in the zombie genre, so I have to ask, is there anything specific to the genre that comes up frequently in editing?
MH: A surprising number of readers in this genre are in the armed forces or retired military. There are also law enforcement officers and gun nuts. (I say that with all due respect, being quite the gun nut myself.) And we definitely have the preppers reading too! Therefore, close attention to detail is crucial when it comes to describing tactical situations, weaponry and armament. Nothing drives the readers crazier than describing a weapon or a take-down situation incorrectly. They WILL call you on it! I'm not an expert in military terminology or weaponry, but I am learning. Plus, if there are any questionable areas I will research them, and I will point them out to the author to make sure what they've written is correct.
BW: Are you drawn specifically to editing writing on the undead, or did this development grow out of a tangential progression?
MH: It was definitely a progression. I had the good fortune of being Mark Tufo's first editor. Mark and I began our friendship when I contacted him on his blog after falling in love with his Zombie Fallout series. He asked me to edit one of his books. He was so impressed with my work that he then contracted me to edit several others. My business has grown since then simply by word of mouth. It's been a hell of a ride, and I've made many lifelong friends.
BW: Rumor has it you're toying with the idea of a zombie novel of your own. Would you mind telling us a little bit about it?
MH: My novel, which is very rough at this point, revolves around the post-apocalyptic adventures of a group of kids, struggling to survive. It's definitely not a YA book. Think Lord of the Flies. But more graphic.
BW: When working on your own writing, do you tend to meticulously craft sentences, or do you wait until you've finished to edit your work?
MH: Oh, I'm a meticulous crafter all right. It actually slows me down but I can't seem to move on until the paragraph feels right. I can't turn off that editing portion of my brain. It's OK though. It works for me.
BW: Do you have any tips for first-time writers?
MH: I sure do! They're all pretty common sense tips. Write every day. Make it your priority. Don't ever give up. Get a good group of beta readers and listen to what they say. More importantly, listen to your gut. When your writing feels good, it usually IS good. You know that feeling; I'm sure you do. And then, of course, get a good editor and a cover artist. Make sure your book is at its best before sending it out there to the masses. And then keep writing!!
BW: Thanks so much for taking the time for an interview!
MH: Thank you very much for having me. It's been a blast.

Willing to challenge photonics using nanoparticles for cancer therapy?
Join us at the two-week excellence program Barcelona International Youth Science Challenge (BIYSC) of Catalunya-La Pedrera Foundation and work hands-on with leading researchers at the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO). The students participating in the 'NanoLight' project will fabricate their own nanoparticles to face a series of photonic challenges involving ultimately the interaction of light with living cells, at the core of cancer diagnosis and therapies. Dr. Romain Quidant, group leader of the Plasmon NanoOptics group at ICFO and coordinator of the project, encourages young talented students to participate in this multidisciplinary project as an opportunity to work in different scientific disciplines.
The participants of this project will focus on the interaction of light with metallic nanoparticles. They will understand how the free electrons on these nanoparticles resonate with the electric field of light, and how this resonance depends on the composition and more critically on the size and form of the nanoparticles. The students will then be asked to solve a series of chained challenges like a gymnkhana –which go from aligning an optical experiment to being part of the process of nanofabrication– with the ultimate goal of controlling and measuring heat generation at the nanoscale. A potential application of this technique is photothermal cancer therapy, in which cancerous cells are destroyed with concentrated heat.
If you want be involved in cutting-edge research of photonics at the nanoscale, dealing with nanomedicine, solar cells, new materials, and even quantum information, this stay at ICFO is a great opportuninty!

Vettel wins F1 Malaysian Grand Prix
Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel won the Formula One Malaysian Grand Prix on Sunday, giving the German back-to-back wins to open the season.
The pole sitter led throughout to win by 3.2 seconds from McLaren's Jenson Button, with Renault's Nick Heidfeld hanging on for third.
Vettel's Red Bull teammate Mark Webber recovered from a poor start, using a four-stop strategy around the Sepang International circuit to claim fourth place, with Ferrari's Felipe Massa fifth.
Ferrari's Fernando Alonso and McLaren's Lewis Hamilton had a collision in the closing laps that dropped them down to sixth and seventh respectively.
Sauber's Kamui Kobayashi took eighth place, while Mercedes' Michael Schumacher made a very late passing maneuver to take ninth from Force India's Paul Di Resta, who took the last point in 10th.
Vettel's victory was made more impressive by the malfunctioning of the KERS device on the Red Bull, with the German told midway through the race that he could no longer use it.
Webber also appeared to have problems with it, dropping from third to ninth after just one lap. By contrast, both Renaults made storming starts, with Heidfeld moving from sixth to second by the second corner.
With rain surprisingly holding off throughout, the closing stages developed into a fight to see who could make their tires last longest. Button used his trademark tire management to claim second.
Heidfeld came under intense pressure in the final laps but managed to hold off Webber.
One of the major talking points was a collision between old rivals Hamilton and Alonso with 10 laps to go. The Ferrari driver tried a switchback passing move on Hamilton but did not quite measure the distance correctly, and snapped off the left endplate of his front wing by nudging Hamilton's right rear tire.
Alonso had to pit for a new front wing, while Hamilton struggled thereafter as his tires degraded, and was passed by Heidfeld then Webber before admitting defeat and pitting for new rubber with only three laps left.

$16 billion Thornburg fund goes shopping globally for dividend stocks
By: Dividend Sensei
The $16 billion Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund's Ben Kirby scours the world for investments. He shared three of his favorites stocks — from China, Italy and here in the U.S. — in an interview.
The mutual fund's income objective sets it apart from most "blended" funds, according to Kirby, who said last year's strong performance — a 9.5% return for Class A TIBAX, -0.60% shares, excluding sales charges — was "helped a lot by financials and a global inflation trade we had been positioning for. It was a position that, frankly, didn't help the previous year or two."
Kirby, who oversees the fund with two other managers, said he'd been reducing consumer-staples and utilities stocks, which had been favored by investors for their high dividend yields.
"The big picture was that expensive defensive [stocks] that worked well in 2014, 2015 and the first half of 2016, cratered later in 2016, especially with Trump."

A survey of over 3000 primary care providers attending CME programs in weight management stated that they use BMI to discuss weight loss with patients only 41% of the time. The most frequently cited reasons are not enough time in a visit and belief that patients cannot make the lifestyle changes necessary to lose weight. Public health recommendations are for individuals with BMI above 25 to lose 5-10% of body weight. This amount of weight loss improves many metabolic health risk factors such as blood pressure, blood glucose, triglycerides and HDL cholesterol and reduces incidence of diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular events, and overall mortality.
Several studies illustrate that group weight loss programs using behavioral nutrition therapy and conducted for 6-12 months in a PCP office setting can produce significant weight loss of 5-10%. Providers can find a dietitian to partner with and lead such groups at eatright.org/find-an-expert.
But losing weight and keeping it off is the real goal since regaining lost weight means losing the clinical benefits. A new study published in the September issue of Obesity Journal (link) supports that primary care providers can help patients keep their weight off with ongoing behavioral nutrition counseling.
Behavioral nutrition counseling allowed 26.7% of patients with overweight or obesity to lose at least 10% of their body weight and maintain the loss for more than a year. Predictors of success were
- more frequent contact with the PCP and
- initial weight loss at 1 month. The faster someone loses weight-ie significant loss at 2-4 weeks, the more likely they are to be successful at keeping it off at 1 year.
Providing behavioral nutrition therapy in the office setting with frequent patient contact can help patients and providers be successful in improving health outcomes.
