MIAMI (CBS4) – About 100 children gathered Monday in celebration of life and of the hospital that saved theirs – Miami Children's Hospital.
In a full day of appreciation some of the children, such as 8-year-old Chris Sultan, were coming face-to-face with the actual surgeons that helped make them whole for the first time.
"We had to take his heart apart and rebuild it and design it in a way that it would grow with it," said Dr. Redmond Burke, chief of cardiovascular surgery at the hospital.
Sultan met Burke, who saved his life, for the first time Monday.
Burke said the hospital saves lives every day – and has done more than 4 thousand open heart surgeries over the years – its "our" responsibility to save this generation, he hopes the next one does the same.
"If someone saves your life, you have to go save someone else's life — I know you can do it," Burke said, challenging Chris.
For most of the children at the celebration life can be challenging; not being able to do simple things life such as playing sports.
But Sultan carries his chest scar proudly — because today not only did he meet the man who saved his life, but he his wish came true.
"It was a life-long dream to be on television," he said.
Another thankful grandfather celebrating at the event, George Gardner, said he tells his grandson to not be ashamed of that scar, ever.
"Chicks dig scars — you'll be fine with the blue eyes," he said.

I am very excited.
I am going camping. Really. This is a first for me. Sammy over at One Spoiled Cat (don't you just love that title?) is doing all the hard work and arranging things. I'm looking forward to hanging out with my pals on the blogosphere and doing cool stuff.
I know I'll have fun when I get there but right now all I can think about is the packing.
Number One Son likes to camp so I thought he might be able to give me some tips but he likes to travel light. A sleeping bag, a tent and a backpack. That is all. A backpack!
Can you see my problem? That backpack is fine for my toothbrush (yes, I have one), and one of my coat brushes, my bowl and perhaps my lead but I couldn't get anything else in it. So I am a bit worried.
Fortunately I have Auntie Shelfie from France staying with me at the moment.
PS: Boodle and Dunthorne, I am looking after her well, giving her lots of attention and taking her for a walk to the dog park every day. She did slip up once using your nickname of Dunny but we explained to her what that meant in Australia (an outdoor loo) which she had forgotten. Now she uses Dunthorne. You can thank me by sending me some French treats c/o The Help.
As Auntie Shelfie has done lots of travelling and likes pink I respect her opinions.
After all, she travelled light coming to OZ for two weeks as you can see below.
Auntie has been all over the world and knows the art of packing everything so I have taken advice from her on how much luggage we should take for this camping trip. I think the motto is be prepared for anything and everything.
Then Clowie from Clowie's Corner gave me a wonderful idea (she is a very clever Pyrenean Mountain who I listen to a lot). She suggested that Raffles is big enough to carry the luggage so I don't have to.
Brilliant! That means the Pup gets to go but only because he's useful and I get to pack everything I need for the time away. We are dividing our trip between the woods and the beach so that means packing for both. With Raffles pulling the luggage I don't need to worry about weight.
Sammy mentioned that he's packing his binoculars for bird watching (?watching….. really Sammy?).
I have to plan some leisure items to pack. Raffles is easy, throw in some squeaky toys and he's happy. I am more discerning. I usually lay back and enjoy television at night so I think I'm going to have to take a mini iPad along. Anyone have one to give away? The Help hasn't got one of those yet.
So after taking lessons from Auntie Shelfie I have decided that I need lots of stuff with me 'just in case'. My second best collar in case my best collar breaks. My third bag of treats in case I finish my first two and my second best bowl in case someone forgets their bowl. You get the idea? Even an extra bag in case I bring stuff home with me. I wouldn't have thought of that one without Shelfie.
Auntie Shelfie has been enjoying the hot weather we have here in Melbourne and has been to the beach a few times so she advised me on what I needed to get a good tan.
As well as the things I have I will need to buy some new stuff. I need a hat for the beach, a hat for the woods. A parasol for the sun, an umbrella for the rain. I may even need a new outfit or two although Auntie Shelfie tells me it's more fun to buy those when you get to your destination.
I know beaches but when it comes to the woods I am a little unsure what to expect.
What should I pack? I have thought of insect repellent. I am hoping there are no snakes or bears because as you know I do not like snakes or bears and I don't think you can buy snake or bear repellent (there's a niche in the market there for somebody).
I think I might have to get night vision goggles for the wood part of the camping trip.
As the pup has agreed to pull me we decided we should put in some practice. So if you happen to live just outside Melbourne and see us rushing by don't worry – it isn't Father Christmas.
I'm not sure I've got everything yet. I'll check with Aunt Shelfie when she returns from the village where she is off – you guessed it – shopping.
They are putting out the red carpet and plying her with champagne as we speak. There has not been such an upturn in the economy for years. She has made a lot of boutiques very, very happy this week 🙂
I have a new hero 😀
Have fun everyone and hope to see at Sammy's for the camping.
Love, Zena the adventurous Princess

Dutch house prices see substantial drop
Prices of existing owner-occupied dwellings sold in May 2012 were on average 5.5 percent down on May 2011. According to the price index of existing residential property – a joint publication by Statistics Netherlands and the Land Registry Office – the drop in house prices is more substantial than in the preceding months. The index reflects price changes of existing owner-occupied dwellings in the Netherlands sold to private individuals.
Just as in the preceding months, residential property prices fell across all provinces. All types of dwellings were cheaper in May 2012 than in May 2011.
More than 10 thousand existing owner-occupied dwellings were sold in May. House sales were nearly 3 percent higher than twelve months previously. The total number of house sales in the period January 2012 – May 2012 was over 42 thousand, i.e. 12 percent down on the same period last year.

Easter won't be Easter without Hot Cross Buns. This version has a combination of raisins and chocolate chips and less spiced than usual (by special request from my kids).
Easter won't be Easter without Hot Cross Buns. This version has a combination of raisins and chocolate chips and less spiced than usual (by special request from my kids).
Fill your kitchen and your home during this Easter time with the spicy aroma of the very best home made Hot cross buns, made with real ground spices and baked with love for your family and friends! One of the highlights on the calendar of worldwide annual baking traditions are these buns. A feeling of expectation arises when the pervasive spicy aroma of flavourful yeast-risen buns fill the air in many home kitchens. Be sure to also try the recipe for Hot Cross Hybrid (Pain Au Chocolat), an Easter-themed pastry.
This recipe is a cross (excuse the pun!) between a Hot Cross Bun and the popular French pastry, pain au chocolat, which is made with yeast-leavened dough and filled with chocolate. "Pain au chocolat" literally means chocolate bread.
Be sure to also try the traditional recipes for traditional Croissants and Hot Cross Buns.
These authentic flat "pocket" breads of the past, originally baked on hot stones have made a great comeback! The hollow or split pitas may enjoyed with any part of the meal or stuffed with hot or cold, savoury or sweet fillings. For best results, knead the dough very well and allow for a thorough first rising (until completely doubled) before shaping into flat breads and rising once more.
Prep time 45 minutes (including rising time)
Cook time 30 minutes
1 x 8 g sachet (1 tsp/5 ml) instant yeast (or use double quantity for quicker rising)
3 cups (750 ml) bread flour
2 cups (500 ml) lukewarm water
¼ cup (60 ml) melted butter or olive oil
1 Tbsp (15 ml) sugar
2 tsp (10 ml) salt
± 1½ cups (375 ml) extra bread flour
Recipe by Carolié de Koster from the Art of Cooking Recipe Book p. 832.
Brush baked flatbreads with olive oil and sprinkle generously with the Za'atar Spice Mix. Serve with labneh (Greek yoghurt).

A croissant is a buttery, flaky pastry named for its well-known crescent shape. Croissants and made of a layered yeast-leavened dough. The dough is layered with butter, rolled and folded several times in succession, then rolled into a sheet, in a technique called laminating. The process results in a layered, flaky texture, similar to a puff pastry. After mastering the plain version, be sure to try the almond, cheese or pizza fillings below.

GEORGETOWN, Texas – The Southwestern University Pirates volleyball team took the 20th-ranked UT-Tyler Patriots the distance, winning the first two sets before falling in five (25-21, 25-22, 24-26, 24-26, 12-15).
Southwestern's young hitters alternated between flashes of brilliance and rookie mistakes balanced by the steady presence of seniors Brandi Campos and Jamison Duck to overcome slow starts and take the first two sets.
Campos finished with a match-high 27 digs, taking some of the Patriots' most vicious attacks and turning them into opportunities for the Pirates; withstanding UT-Tyler's runs long enough to counter.
"I felt we dug a lot of balls in some situations that frustrated them," Southwestern Head Coach Don Flora said. "They gave us the ball in easier situations and we stayed aggressive offensively."
Freshman Alyssa Dooley was the main beneficiary, capitalizing by leading all teams with a career-high 24 kills—making it her second consecutive match with more than 20. That it took 71 attacks with 10 errors is a sign of her inexperience.
Dooley showcased some devastating punch, bringing the ball down before defenders could react with a series of powerful spikes. The next step is harnessing that talent by figuring out when and where to attack to improve her efficiency past the .197 attack percentage.
"Seventy-one attempts is a big load to carry for a freshman," Flora said. "She was competing and not going down without taking a swing at it."
Duck finished second on the team with 17 kills on 53 attacks with six errors for a .208 hitting percentage and two block assists while Makenzie Mendez finished with 55 assists.
Kyana Alvarez and Loren Guerra led UT-Tyler with 16 kills each in a balanced attack that featured four hitters finishing with double-digit kills.
The Patriots seemed to gain momentum as the match went on, increasing their attack efficiency in each set, moving from .098 with eight attack errors in the first set to a .250 percentage with three attack errors in the fifth and final set.
"They're one of the best teams in the region," Flora said. "When you're up 2-0 on a really good team, that's the time you want to make the right decisions. That's where we'll grow.
"We had the opportunity to put them away and it's just one or two transition swings or decisions. But I really felt we stayed the course. Our passers were keeping us in it, playing point-to-point by playing every point as a fresh one."
With the loss, the Pirates drop to 8-8 on the season while UT-Tyler improves to 15-1 after picking up its 10th consecutive win.
Things don't get any easier for the Pirates, who host 12-6 UT-Dallas coming off a 3-0 win over East Texas Baptist to improve to 7-1 in their conference on Friday, and No. 25-ranked Mary Hardin-Baylor on Saturday for senior day.
"Tonight was some of the best volleyball we played in a long time," Campos said. "We need to improve starting strong, limiting our attack and communication errors. Once we do that, you're going to see us be an unstoppable team. We're going to grow from this and be ready."

A Project Team Overcame Cold Realities To Deliver Canada's First Highway To The Artic Coast
There's no shortcut for building a road to the top of the world. A delicate permafrost ecosystem and shifting climate patterns stood in the way of completing Canada's first permanent highway to the Arctic Coast—a winding 137-kilometer (85-mile) path through tundra, lakes and streams.

Sweeping across the border of Argentina and Chile, it's easy to mistake the beauty of Patagonia for some B roll footage of a David Attenborough documentary. With everything from dramatic mountain ranges and valleys threaded with undulating rivers, to glittering glaciers and azure lakes, there's never a dull moment.
To celebrate this incredible region, here are some of our highlights to look forward to on a Patagonian trek with Aurora Expeditions.
1. El Calafate
One of the gateway Argentine towns to the Los Glaciares National Park, El Calafate is known as the 'capital of glaciers'. While we stop off in this wonderful town, you can wander down to Lake Argentino, the third-largest lake in South America, and home to a variety of water birds from swans to coots and flamingos.
2. Perito Moreno Glacier
One of the treasures of Patagonia, the Perito Moreno Glacier is part of the World Heritage Site of the Los Glaciares National Park. Just 80 kilometres from El Calafate, the Perito Moreno Glacier is a sight to behold. Measuring a staggering 5 kilometres in width, this is one of the few glaciers that are actually advancing, despite the effects of climate change.
Hold your breath as icebergs calve into Lake Argentino with a spectacular splash. Make sure you have your camera ready!
3. Torres del Paine
Across the border in Chile, the Torres del Paine National Park is a lush haven of plant and wildlife, earning it the status of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. At the heart of the 1810 square kilometre park are the incredible granite spires, the Torres del Paine themselves. On your Patagonian hike, you'll see a sunrise unlike any other over these towering natural monoliths.
4. Nordenskjöld Lake
A tranquil sight in the Magellanes region of the Torres del Paine, Nordenskjöld Lake is a truly memorable sight. Surrounded by the snow-dusted crags of Cuernos del Paine, this 200-metre deep lake is renowned for the vibrant blue colour of its water.
5. Salto Grande Falls
Stemming from the Nordenskjöld Lake, the Salto Grande Falls gush through a narrow funnel in a thundering churn of water that emerges into Lago Pehoe.
Combine Antarctica and Patagonia and SAVE!

6. Mirador Cuernos Lookout
As part of one of our daily excursions, we'll head up to the Mirador Cuernos lookout from the Salto Grande Falls, climbing up to one of the most spectacular views of the mountains and lake.
7. Pehoe Lake
The crystalline Pehoe Lake in the Magellanes region provides a breathtaking mirror reflection of the mountain range, with its characteristic powder-blue water a striking contrast to the surrounding scenery.
8. Cerro Fitz Roy and Cerro Torres base camps
These base camps are the perfect place to truly immerse yourself in one of the world's most stunning natural environments. Nestled at the base of the Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre mountains, the camps are a starting point for our adventures into the Patagonian wilds, where glacial lakes glisten in the sun and alpacas roam in lush valleys.
9. Birdlife of Patagonia
With such natural diversity throughout the region, there's no telling what birdlife you'll encounter on your hike. Spy the long limbed Chilean flamingo on the shores of Lake Argentino and the powerful Andean Condor soaring over the steppes, or get a little closer to spot the colourful Magellanic woodpecker and Austral parakeet.
10. Puerto Natales
Another gateway city to the Torres del Paine National Park, the picturesque Puerto Natales hugs the shoreline of the Seno Última Esperanza sound, a position that grants it an abundance of King crab – a local specialty. From our base here, we'll explore both the Balmaceda Glacier, as well as cruising down the Serrano River in our Zodiacs.
Ready to explore the beauty of Patagonia for yourself? With Aurora Expeditions, you could find yourself in the heart of this stunning region, walking the trails and visiting the local gateway towns along the way.

Online Structured Laplace Approximations for Overcoming Catastrophic Forgetting
Part of: Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 31 (NIPS 2018)[PDF] [BibTeX] [Supplemental] [Reviews]
Conference Event Type: Poster
We introduce the Kronecker factored online Laplace approximation for overcoming catastrophic forgetting in neural networks. The method is grounded in a Bayesian online learning framework, where we recursively approximate the posterior after every task with a Gaussian, leading to a quadratic penalty on changes to the weights. The Laplace approximation requires calculating the Hessian around a mode, which is typically intractable for modern architectures. In order to make our method scalable, we leverage recent block-diagonal Kronecker factored approximations to the curvature. Our algorithm achieves over 90% test accuracy across a sequence of 50 instantiations of the permuted MNIST dataset, substantially outperforming related methods for overcoming catastrophic forgetting.

Meanwhile, in Guadalajara Mexico Catalan architect Carme Pinos has designed an office building that is supposed to keep cool without AC through careful shading, natural ventilation, fans and convection. The triangular office floors are clad in a double skin: the floors were first wrapped in a glass facade [a great deal of which consists of operable windows], which is then masked by horizontal wood slat paneling.. Workers can step out on to a grating system and push/pull these panels into their desired positions, providing control over the level of daylighting in their specific work space. This 'double skin' provides heaps of natural ventilation.

uring the past few days a substantial number of Iranian regime's terrorist Quds Force officers have entered Baghdad Airport taking along heat seeking missiles.
Ghasem Suleimani, the commander of the Quds Force has called on Nouri al-Maliki to use the current condition in Iraq to attack and massacre the residents of Camp Liberty and some Sunni neighborhoods in Baghdad.
He has asked Maliki to carry out the attacks by using Iraqi forces including member of its Golden Battalion (also known as the Dirty Battalion) and members of Asaeb al-Haq group as well as members of his SWAT forces who had been involved in the September 1 massacre of Camp Ashraf residents.
The forces would be wearing the DAESH group members uniforms.
Using the uniform of DAESH group (the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) -- group created in Iraq by Maliki and the Iranian regime -- besides deceiving Americans, would help the Iraqi government to try to escape the responsibility for the attacks and blame it on loose Iraqi paramilitary elements, as had been claimed for the September massacre in Camp Ashraf.
The Iranian Resistance is reminding the responsibilities of the U.S. and the U.N. regarding the protection of the residents of Camp Liberty in such extraordinary dangerous situation, particularly following the mass execution of Camp Ashraf residents on September 1 and the missile attack on Camp Liberty on December 26, in which the Iraqi Government continues to pretend to be innocent while it has not provided any of the minimum security requirement needed for protection of the residents.
The minimum security requirements that has been discussed hundreds of times during the past year with the U.S., the UN and Iraqi government include: Return of 17500 T-walls, providing sufficient number of 2*2m concrete bunkers, transfer of protective helmets, vests and medical equipment from Camp Ashraf to Camp Liberty, to build dual layer roofs for trailers at Liberty, and expanding the camp's area to reduce the number of casualties, stationing of UN monitors with a Blue Helmet team, 24 hours a day inside the camp.
The Iranian Resistance calls for the urgent intervention and attention of U.S. President, EU foreign ministers, U.S Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense, UN Secretary General, UN High commissioner for refugees, UN High commissioner for Human rights and the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, on this issue.

Today I had a dentist appointment, or so I thought I did. On my appointment card it clearly stated March 15th at 12:30. This morning I get a phone call reminding me about my appointment on the 16th at 2:20. I hate the dentist, I dread them, I would rather eat spiders and wander through sewers barefoot. Anyways, I told the lady that my card clearly states today, and that I am ready to go today and I'm not going to guarantee that I'll show up tomorrow. So she gave me a appointment at 2:10.
So I go in today, and at my dentist you have to wear obnoxious booties over your shoes so you don't dirty the floors. Well then your shoes slide on the fake hardwood and then I have trouble staying upright. One day I will fall, its just a matter of time. Oh and I have a cavity. Its not new, they have just "overlooked it" the past year, but its the first I heard of it.
The dental hygienist kept asking for my changes in history, which I clearly stated on the update form were "none." She asked about 5 times if I was feeling alright, and if I was sure nothing changed. My answers were something like, "yup I am fine, nothing has changed", "yup, still fine" "nope, nothing has changed" "nope" and "no"...then she asked if I was alright because I looked a bit irritated...
Seriously, I remember when my health information didn't say multiple sclerosis and no one ever questioned my health...now it says it and you are going to pester me and be surprised when I get irritated.
So once again, its safe to say, I hate the dentist.

Advisor Terms: What's a Fiduciary?
It has been a little more than a year since I decided to shift gears in my career and open my own firm as a financial advisor. In my prior career as an equity analyst, I never had to do "sales." The only networking I did was amongst fellow analysts and those that worked at the companies I was tasked with analyzing.
Once I officially opened the doors on Honey Lake Advisors, I had to start getting out there to look for new clients. A big part of that effort has been networking with individuals and business owners in my area. It's always an interesting exercise.
Them: "So what do you do for a living?"
Me: "I'm a financial advisor."
Them: "Oh….um, I'm going to go get a cup of coffee from over there. See you around!"
I knew that financial advisors had checkered reputations before I decided to become one myself. Still, it's still eye-opening to see people's reactions when I tell them I'm an advisor. One of the big reasons why I think the industry has earned this reputation is because the standard of care many advisors are held to sets the bar way too low, resulting in advice that benefits the advisor over the client.
What's the Standard of Care?
Last week I talked about the various ways "advisors" are compensated. I put the word advisors in quotes because the reality is that many folks who call themselves advisors are nothing more than salespeople.
This week we are going to look at two standards of care that an advisor can have with you: a 'fiduciary' standard or a 'suitability' standard. When we look at these two standards in the context of how the advisor is paid, my hope is you will better understand what questions you should be asking any prospective advisor.
The Fiduciary Standard
Fiduciary is a word that's thrown around a lot, but a lot of people don't really know what it means. According to the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC), some of the key elements of being a fiduciary are:
- Act in the best interests of clients
- Provide advice in the best interest of clients
- Owe clients undivided loyalty and utmost good faith
- Avoid conflicts of interest and disclose them where they exist
- Cannot use client asset for the advisor's benefit (think Bernie Madoff)
Acting in client's best interests and being loyal to them would seem to be pretty basic standards that any client would expect from an advisor. Surprisingly many advisors are not held to such standards!
How can you tell if your advisor is being held to a fiduciary standard or not? Ask them! Or ask them this:
- "Are you an Investment Adviser Representative?"
- "Is your firm a Registered Investment Adviser (RIA) registered with the SEC or state?"
If they answer "Yes" to those questions then you are almost certainly dealing with an advisor who is being held to a fiduciary standard under SEC or state rules. The fiduciary rules laid out by the SEC are not suggestions…they are the law. The SEC is quite explicit in spelling out this duty for advisors, which you can see here.
The takeaway here is that acting as a fiduciary carry with it legal responsibilities of duty to clients.
The Suitability Standard
While the fiduciary standard for investment advisers is enforced by the SEC, those that are held to a suitability standard are regulated by FINRA, which is the financial industry's self-regulating body.
The best way to understand the Suitability standard is to read FINRA's definition of it:
"A member or an associated person must have a reasonable basis to believe that a recommended transaction or investment strategy involving a security or securities is suitable for the customer, based on the information obtained through the reasonable diligence of the member or associated person to ascertain the customer's investment profile." [emphasis mine]
The advisor in this scenario will look at the following to determine your "investment profile" by looking at:
- Age
- Investments that you currently have
- Your investment experience
- Time horizon of the goal you're trying to achieve
- Liquidity needs
- Risk tolerance
Sounds a lot like what any advisor would do, no? In theory, yes. But check out what the definition says about an advisor's recommendations. They "must have a reasonable basis" for making a recommendation that is "suitable." I'm no English major but the words "reasonable" and "suitable" imply that there's a lot of room for interpretation when trying to determine what's really best for a client.
Contrast that with the Fiduciary standard, where the advisor has a Duty of Loyalty and a Duty of Care. Recommendations that are based on 'reasonableness' and 'duty' are two very different things.
The difference between a well-fitting suit and Tommy Boy
I like to think about the difference between 'fiduciary' and 'suitability' in terms of a guy trying to buy a suit.
Remember back to the old Men's Wearhouse commercials, where the owner always said at the end, "You're going to like the way you look. I guarantee it." The promise he was making was that they would work with you to find a stylish suit and then make sure it fits you as best it could. You needed a suit, and they would help you find the best one. This is how a Fiduciary would operate.
On the other side of the coin, if this same guy went to a store operating under the Suitability standard (no pun intended) they might end up with a suit fitting like the one Chris Farley wore in the movie Tommy Boy.
In both examples, the client ended up buying a suit. However, the salesperson from Men's Wearhouse took much care to make sure the client got just the right suit for his particular style and build. Hence, the client walked out of the store with a nice-looking suit.
Conversely, the guy who sold the suit to Chris Farley sold him whatever suit he had on hand, regardless of whether that was the BEST suit he could have found for him. The client needed a suit so the salesperson sold him a suit regardless of how it looked or how it fit, end of story.
It's a matter of ADVICE over SALES.
Much like the guy at Men's Wearhouse, a financial advisor that is a fiduciary will look at your goals and desires, assess your financial position, and then give you ADVICE on what your potential courses of action are. They are looking out for what's best for YOU, operating under a Duty of Loyalty and Care.
The advisor that operates under a Suitability standard isn't held to the same standard. If you need help with your investments, they will sell you a mutual fund as long as they can prove it's a reasonable recommendation for you. It might not be the best mutual fund you can buy, but as long as it's deemed a reasonable option the advisor will sell it to you. Their primary duty – surprisingly – is to their FIRM, not the client. And big firms are most concerned with generating sales and gathering assets.
Compensation & Standard of Care – What's the Takeaway?
In discussing advisor compensation last week and standards of care this week, my goal has been to educate you on what motivates financial advisors. As mentioned earlier, I think a lot of people avoid getting the help they need with their finances because they're worried about getting taken advantage of. Too often, this is what happens.
But there is a new wave of financial advisors coming to market today that are doing what they can to eliminate conflicts of interest and design their businesses around high standards of excellence.
On the compensation side of the ledger, more and more advisors are adopting fee-only compensation structures, moving away from legacy commissions & sales structures. This not only makes pricing much clearer to you – the client – but it removes motivations for the advisor to sell you stuff you don't need.
When you combine fee-only compensation structures with a Fiduciary standard of care, you are reinforcing the idea that financial advice should be both conflict-free and in the best interest of the client. Radical, huh?!
My #1 desire in opening Honey Lake Advisors has been to create a company that clients can trust. Without trust, what's the point? Adopting a fee-only compensation structure and being held to a fiduciary standard are important steps, but not the be-all-end-all. It's really about the heart to do the right thing for clients.
"But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.""
1 Samuel 16:7 (emphasis mine)

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Guess Inc. shares rose almost 6% Friday, bucking a mild decline in the broader sector after the teen clothing retailer posted better-than-expected quarterly results a day earlier.
The S&P Retail Index RLX moved fractionally lower to close at 334 points in the wake of disappointing same-store sales results posted during the prior session.
Guess GES, -2.36% gained $1.56 to end at $28.60 after the company said its quarterly profit fell 32% from a year ago.
Analysts had expected worse, which, along with an upbeat forecast, drew in the buyers.
Brian Sozzi, an analyst at WStreet.com, reiterated his buy rating and raised his price target on the stock to $35 a share from $30.
"Despite several formidable headwinds, including the strengthening dollar, less free wheel spending by the international shopper, and tepid uptake of discretionary merchandise here in the U.S., Guess managed its business rather effectively to begin the year," he said.
Bookseller Borders Group Inc. BGP, +1.87% joined Guess to the upside, adding more than 13.6% to close at $4.34.
Clothing retailer Gap Inc. GPS, -1.94% fell almost 2% and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT, +0.44% shook off early declines to finish up 20 cents at $51.07.

Twitter has begun informing users about a bug that exposed private direct messages to third-party developers "who were not authorized to receive them." The company started informing users over the weekend about this bug that revealed direct messages to third-party developers. The company says that its investigation into the issue is ongoing.
"The issue has persisted since May 2017, but we resolved it immediately upon discovering it," Twitter says, adding that "Our investigation into this issue is ongoing, but presently we have no reason to believe that any data sent to unauthorized developers was misused."
Twitter will contact users affected by this bug directly through a notice displayed in the mobile app or on its website. It discovered the bug on September 10th and yet informed users about a fortnight later.
A spokesperson for the company mentioned to TechCrunch that it's "highly unlikely" that any direct messages were sent to the incorrect developers at all. However, it's merely informing users about this bug just to be sure.
It further added that only messages that were sent to brand accounts such as those of airlines or other businesses might be affected. The company's investigation so far has revealed that "only one set of technical circumstances where this issue could have occurred."

An exciting new lead service for network marketers is now available at Apache Leads.
Yes many lead companies have real time redirect but read on dear reader to learn why these ones are by far the best in the world!
First allow me to explain what a real time redirect lead is.
When a lead is sent to the customer the same time its generated it's called a real time lead. Then what Apache Leads does is send the lead to the customers website / landing page. Instantly the lead is now able to discover great information about the customers business opportunity!
But wait, it gets even better
At the very same time as all that is happening, Apache Leads enters the leads contact details into your very own FREE Autoresponder. How cool is this? Very. You can automatically be sending a whole email series to the lead all about your business.
Hows this sounding so far?
Pretty damn good I'm thinking.
But that's still not all.
The same time this is all happening you will receive an SMS text on your phone with the leads contact information. You can call them just seconds after they signed up!
No one else on this whole planet is offering a lead and backup like this
Apache Leads Review – Real Time Redirect Leads – Don Reid founded the site way back in 2003 maybe even before you had an email account.
Don learned early in his network marketing career that it's important to help the new people. They need guidance and leadership. Most importantly they need quality leads and good scripts.
Don wrote a book called "Winning MLM Phone Scripts" which he gives away free to anyone who wants it on ApacheLeads.com
The other thing Don did was invent the no bad lead guarantee. He took all the risk away from his customers, he carries all the risk. Any bad leads are replaced free of charge.

Seven Government Colonies to Increase Re-Development and Green Area Coverage
With the design of multi-storied residential/commercial blocks, the effective ground coverage has drastically reduced; enabling more space for the green area.
The redevelopment of the seven colonies viz. Nauroji Nagar, Netaji Nagar, Sarojini Nagar, Mohammadpur, Sriniwaspuri, Kasturba Nagar and Thyagaraj Nagar will lead to an increase the green area coverage by about 3 times from the existing green space area and the compensatory plantation of trees will be done in the ratio of 1:10 thereby resulting in enhanced tree coverage area.
The redevelopment of the seven colonies is been done with complete adherence to environmental sustainability and green building concepts and special care and attention is being given towards retaining a maximum number of existing trees and incorporating them in a large cluster as an integral part of landscaping design scheme.
There have been misleading press reports in the media regarding felling of trees in the context of redevelopment of the above mentioned government colonies which are not only factually incorrect but also ignore the magnitude of compensatory efforts undertaken to not only increase the tree count but also efforts made for substantial increase in the green space area in the redeveloped colonies.
As regards to felling of trees, the following facts are highlighted:
- With the design of multi-storied residential/commercial blocks, the effective ground coverage has drastically reduced; enabling more space for the green area. Green area of 10,69,235 Sqm is being proposed in the conceptual plan of all the seven colonies against the existing Green Space of 3,83,101 Sqm. in these colonies. Thus about 3 times more green space shall be available. — Refer Annexure-I
- All the trees are not being cut. Only 14,031 nos. trees are to be cut out of the existing trees of 21,040 nos. Moreover, against the 21,040 nos. of existing trees; 23,475 nos. of trees shall be available in these colonies during/after the Re-development (saving of 6,834 nos., transplantation of 1,213 nos. and new plantation of 15,428 nos.). — Refer Annexure-II.
- Besides the above, compensatory plantation of trees is being carried out in a ratio of 1:10, i.e. ten trees are being planted against the loss of one tree. Thus 1,35,460 (one lakh thirty-five thousand four hundred sixty) trees shall be planted which will create an "Urban Forest" thus generating oxygen and reducing the pollution level in the city. - Refer Annexure-II.
Apart from the special efforts for protection, preservation and replantation of trees as given above, the upcoming complexes are being developed according to "Green Building Concepts", zero waste discharge and environmental sustainability by the following measures:
- Ground coverage restricted to 15-20% against the existing ground coverage of 50%. The green area will be 50%.
- Plantations/transplantation as green barrier along boundary to cover main roads.
- Orientation of houses as per sun path to avoid heat gain in the building and green terraces to mitigate heat gain.
- Solar panels used for renewable energy. The total solar power generation in the 7 GPRAs will be 5,654 KW.
- Solid waste/Waste water will be collected, segregated and treated in-house and reused for horticulture purposes and flushing. Solid waste will also be used as manure for horticulture.
- Rainwater harvesting system for recharging the ground water.
- Use of recycled material from construction and demolition waste to be used in construction of structures such as kerb stone, footpath tiles, etc.
The upcoming complexes are being developed by providing green spaces, with lush green trees around the constructed building. An example of the same is the development of New Moti Bagh Complex and East Kidwai Nagar Project.
Ministry's endeavor has been to provide exemplary models of development for the future generations. Change is inevitable and so is the need of the hour for the city. With utmost care and respect towards our natural environment, all measures are being taken in the planning and designing of these colonies to construct a Green Project with "Griha Certification".
As such green cover and sustainability of environment is adequate and appropriately ensured after the redevelopment of Seven Colonies.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Thursday called on India and Pakistan to refrain from any steps that could affect the special status of the disputed regions of Kashmir and Jammu.
Guterres was "concerned over reports of restrictions on Indian-side of Kashmir," and warned that such actions could "exacerbate the human rights situation in region," Guterres' spokesman Stéphane Dujarric said in a statement.

ABSTRACT Title of Document: PRINCIPAL EFFECTIVENESS: MIDDLE SCHOOL LEADERS' PERCEPTIONS OF PRINCIPAL PRACTICES TO IMPROVE MIDDLE SCHOOL READING ACHIEVEMENT Kathleen R. Brady, Doctor of Education, 2016 Directed By: Dr. John Norris, Department of Education The purpose of this exploratory and descriptive study was to examine school leaders' perceptions of leadership practices that contribute to principal effectiveness in improving reading achievement in middle schools in a large public school district. The data was gathered through the use of a Web-based survey that was emailed to 97 school based leaders including 20 principals, 40 assistant principals, 17 reading department chairpersons, and 20 professional development lead teachers in middle schools with grade 6-8 and 7-8 configurations. Data were collected and analyzed in order to make inferences about principal practices at middle school. The findings of this study indicated few differences between middle school principals', assistant principals', reading department chairpersons', and professional development lead teachers' perceptions of principal leadership practices that are most important to and have the greatest impact on student reading achievement success. Furthermore, the findings indicated that participants' three top ranked resources needed to increase the effectiveness of principals in order to improve reading achievement at middle schools include implementing a collaborative planning protocol to support literacy instruction, adding a reading coach to the middle school staff, and providing professional development activities focused on literacy instruction across the content areas. The results were used to make recommendations that may contribute to middle school principal effectiveness.

New Delhi, [India] Apr 6 (ANI): Telugu Desam Party (TDP) legislators on Friday continued with their protests for special category status for Andhra Pradesh inside the Parliament premises even after being marshalled out from the office of Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan.
The party's MPs, including those from the Rajya Sabha, held the protests inside Mahajan's chamber as the party's no-confidence notice against the government was not taken up for discussion.
The House was adjourned sine die in regard to granting of special status to the southern state.
Andhra Pradesh Assembly on Friday unanimously adopted a resolution urging the Centre to convene a special parliament session to review the provisions of Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act 2014 and assurances made in Rajya Sabha including Special Category Status and to fulfil at the earliest.
On March 16, the ruling TDP reached a deadlock with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over this issue and ultimately quit the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) coalition. Since then, the TDP MPs have regularly staged protests in the Parliament demanding Special Category Status.(ANI)

As far as I know. Apparently, LDs are actually superior in quality to DVDs but they lack the extra bells and whistles a DVD has like menus. I doubt the LDs have any special features but I'd need to get a player to find out and that'd really set me back. Here's a television commercial for them though... which happens to be a special feature on one of the Japanese DVDs I got.
Also, if you're wondering about the video quality itself (not from me of course)...
Gene: "Have faith in me guys, enjoy the rideyou're in good hands. I can handle this. I can do it!"
Jim: "How do you know?"
Gene: "I don't!"
Jim: "I knew it."
Gene: "That's okay. There's a first time for everything!"

Selection of keyboard:
# All of you will agree that a best instrument with best sound quality will always sound better than other cheaper instruments. But best things in life dont come cheap. So it is advisable to buy the best keyboard
that you can afford to buy.
# Select a keyboard with at least 61 keys. That is 5 Octaves.If you are serious of playing songs, then it is always better to buy a complete instrument in the beginning itself. Playing on a regular size instrument, with good sound quality is going to motivate you to continue playing.
# Less number of Octaves means you will not be able to play song and chords together effectively. You may say that Harmonium comes with only 3 Octaves, then why do we need more keys or Octaves on a keyboard. Do not mistake a keyboard for harmonium. These instruments are meant for different purpose. Harmonium is essentially an accompaniment instrument. Where as keyboard is in a way, a full band with beats and instrumental accompaniment.
# Do not go in for keyboards with illuminated keys. This is not going to help you as you will be looking for glowing keys instead of trying to play smoothly. You need to understand only 12 keys which are repeated in each octave. Best way is to memorise the keys by understanding their sequence.
# Polyphony: This indicates the number of voices (instruments) that will be playing simultaneously in the background. It is obvious that, more polyphony means a fuller orchestra with more number of instruments for your accompaniment. It comes in 16, 32, 48, 64,128 polyphony. Choice is yours to make.
# Weighted Keys: These are designed like acoustic piano keys. Unless you want to be a professional classical piano player, you don't need them. Most of the keyboards come with touch sensitive keys and these give very much the same effect like piano.
Always use a proper keyboard stand with a suitable chair with out hand rest. Keeping keyboard on a table or floor is not advisable.

Information for Researchers No. 7 | 25 January 2011
DFG Priority Programme "Algorithm Engineering" (SPP 1307)
Third funding period with the possibility to include cooperation partners from India
The Priority Programme "Algorithm Engineering" (SPP 1307) has been established in 2006. It is designed to run for six years and the third funding period will start in 2011.
Efficient algorithms and data structures are a prerequisite for demanding computer applications that work with large data sets on increasingly complex hardware. Algorithmics – the systematic development of efficient algorithms – is therefore decisive for the transfer of technological possibilities into applications with large impact on engineering, economy, science, and our daily life. However, the solution of pending problems is inhibited by a wide gap between the state of knowledge of algorithm theory and the practical application of applications. The goal of algorithm engineering (AE) is to bridge this gap which has widened for decades now. The key for achieving this goal is a wider methodology. At the core of this methodology is a cycle of design, analysis, implementation, and experimental evaluation of practicable algorithms. Realistic models for machines and applications, algorithm libraries, and collections of real world inputs provide additional coupling to applications.
The Priority Programme "Algorithm Engineering" shall lead to a sustained innovative drive for the application of algorithms by advancing AE, establishing it more widely, and cross-linking AE researchers. The programme supports research projects that significantly contribute to bridging the described gaps between theory and practice using AE methodology. The programme does not support classical algorithm theory or application projects without a focus on the systematic investigation of algorithms.
The call for inclusion of Indian cooperation partners will be published separately from the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India.
Proposals for the third two-year period should be submitted in English on paper in triplicate and as PDF-files on CD-ROM (including the proposal and all appendices, e.g. publications) to the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, attn. Dr. Klaus Wefelmeier, 53170 Bonn, keyword "SPP 1307 – Algorithm Engineering") not later than 15 March 2011.
In addition to that please add a cover sheet with the title and a short summary of the project in German, name and address of the applicant(s) and an overview of the funds requested in German and send this cover sheet by email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Also please send an extra copy of the proposal to the coordinator of the Priority Programme, Professor Dr. Peter Sanders, KIT, Fakultät für Informatik, Postfach 6980, 76128 Karlsruhe.
