Pretty good
Very friendly staff, free internet, located a few steps from the metro, and a block from the larger Sants station.
There's a pans place by the Sants Estacion that has pretty good breakfast and coffee.
christmas break getaway with friends
The hotel was a great location being just off the metro with easy access to the train station as well as the originating point for the hop on/off buses. The hotel staff helped with tour info as well as other travel.
Breakfast was very nice.
Get the ten trip metro pass. It will allow you to cover more territory and get more sights and attractions in.
Barcelona is a very big city, much more so than even we realized. While I would be the first to advocate walking above ground as so not to miss the beauty and architecture everywhere, the city has one of the very best Metro systems, clean and super efficient and will help you have an even better trip.
extended cruise
Good location to transportation, bus terminal (Sants) was just a couple of blocks from hotel. We used the hop on hop off bus for transportation, the location for this was at this station too.Was able to tour and see many of the sights we wanted to
for the 3 days we were there. Hotel clean and the staff was very good at helping us with any questions.We stayed in an inside room since I needed a handicap accessible bath. No noise, in fact almost too quiet. Not very many restaurants close by, but did eat at a couple of them, Friends down the street and Frankfurt across the street, these were more reasonably priced than others....of course everything in Europe is more expensive than what we are used to in the Midwest USA !!!!!
Good hotel
The staff was great and always had someone who spoke English since my Spanish isn't the strongest. They offer an ironing service, which is expensive, but no iron in the room. That was a little annoying and inconvenient. My wife and I used the
Metro to get around everywhere and there is a station right outside the hotel. That was great. The bed wasn't very comfortable, but we managed. Good hotel, but not outstanding, for the price.
A very nice hotel for its great location
The staffs are very helpful, and the rooms are comfortable. It is close to the subway, and the train station. Price is good too.
good location
What I most liked about abba sants is staff were able to speak English and very helpful with directions and calling museums for us to make sure they were open. Also hotel is one block from train station. Andceven closer to metro subway.
Learn how to use metro. 2 euros to go anywhere in Barcelona
Unassuming exterior, great interior
The hotel is a couple of blocks uphill from Barcelona Sants train station. It is an inexpensive train ride from the airport - just take the Renfe train from terminal 2 (there is a shuttle bus from terminal 1 to terminal 2) and get off at the
"BARNA SANTS" stop. The hotel doesn't look like much from the outside but inside the rooms are very nice. The restaurant downstairs has a fixed price menu that is a good value.
Comfy and reliable hotel
We arrived early that day to check in our luggage but the hotel had our room available! It was nice to be able to get our room, hours before check in! The bathroom was nice and spacious as well as the room (there were 2 of us).
Wifi is
shared/free so slow, but i'm not complaining that it's free. Professional service and took care of our issues very well. Super close to the metro, like 50 feet away from it so it's a convenienent location to get to other places.
Quiet, clean, comfortable
Very quiet, comfortable beds, clean, Camp Nou within walking distance, 20 yards to underground station. Would go back.
Great Hotel, Great Location
It was only used a base for exploring the city, but the staff were great and the room was excellent value for money. It is a few metres from a metro station - which was handy for getting around and a few hundred metres from the bus station.
NOT use any amenities, so they may have been better than my rating.
The Barcelona card is only good if you use the free/discount entry into museums - otherwise go for the 10 ticket metro bundle. I would have saved 30 or more euros per person on a 4 day break

WANTED: Mark down's at Walmart
I'm a newbie this is my first post but its just to good to not tell folks about ...I hope this is ok.
I just got in from Walmart in Granbury Tx, They had marked lots of plants way down the 3" pots are roughly 1.23 ea, Orchids were only $5 and some change. Needless to say I now have about 20 plants or so I have to find room for ...
I'm telling every they just jumped into my basket well thats my story and I'm stickin to it * Laughs*
I can't deny I'm hooked on plants.
truth be told I stopped counting when we moved plants in around 70 something, so I really have the jungle effect going on. My son's have to pick a day to help mom move the big guys. I have had some of my plants 15+ yrs needless to say they are a tad large. One Shaff or umbrella plant is now at Grandma's cause its 12' and fits her vaulted ceiling just fine. Now all I have to do is find stuffed monkey's to decorate my plants with. I'll just sing in the jungle the lion roars tonight or would that be showing my age ?

UK man and van companies can be one-man businesses, a family firm or part of a larger removals company. The key to this service is that you're hiring the van and the man to drive it, load it and unload it, taking all the stress out of your move.
The vans are usually Luton-style with high ceilings, which makes it easier for loading and arranging your boxes and furniture inside, as you can stand up. Some man & van companies hire out vans with a tail lift, to make loading bulky items such as washing machines and sofas even easier.
If you're moving house and are looking for help, a man and van service is often the cheapest way to get the job done and certainly the most reliable. By using deliveryquotecompare.com, it's easy to find a man and his van for less. Simply enter the details of the job and we match you to man & van services who can help and send you no-obligation quotes for free.
Then you can browse your quotes, check the company profile page and see what customer feedback they've got, so you can make an informed decision on which man and van to use. Once you've accepted a price, you'll communicate directly with the company to arrange the work.
Don't forget when you're giving the details of the man and van job, have a think about what help you need. Do you need help with packing? Do you need a hand with disassembling furniture? Would you like assistance unpacking the other end? All these types of help are available from man and van services, but of course the cost will depend on how much help you want.
Many of us have thought that hiring a van and persuading mates to help us out with the lifting and shifting is the cheapest way to move. But believe us, the cost of the van hire, fuel and the risk of paying a huge damage excess if you have an accident because you're not used to driving a van, easily outweighs the cost of hiring a man and van.
These man and van services are used to handling goods and furniture every day and will be far quicker at loading and unloading than you and your friends. They are also insured for carrying your goods and are used to being behind the wheel of a van.
Organising a move yourself can be stressful, time consuming and costly. Professional man and van hire services are experts at moving and will be whizzing up and down your stairs with that huge comfy settee and all your boxes without even breaking into a sweat.
If you want the cheapest man and van quote possible, think about arranging your moving day during the week. Weekends are always busier for man & van hire, so if you can choose a weekday, when they are less busy your quote will be lower than a weekend date.
Before you enter the details to get your free man and van quotes, make sure you have a look around to see how much you need to move. Try and note a realistic number of boxes and volume of furniture - don't forget any stuff in the loft, garden bits and pieces in the shed and those bikes in the garage!
Over-estimating may mean you hire a man with a van that's too big and underestimating could mean you can't squeeze everything in. Getting it more or less right means you will be paying the best possible price for the amount you need moving.

By Ashley DelBello with contributions by relationship expert, Melanie Mar
ÔÇťYou value the things you have to work hard for, not the things that are handed to you,ÔÇŁ says a mid-twenty something male friend of mine when discussing if a woman should play hard to get when she first meets a guy. ┬áWhile that may seem to sum up the answer to this ultimate singleton question, itÔÇÖs a bit more complex than that. ┬áA guy may think a girl is really cool, but if sheÔÇÖs too available at first, then he will question it. ┬áThe opposite is true, too.┬á If a girl plays too hard to get and is unavailable, then he will lose interest.
So, throw out the ÔÇťdating rulesÔÇŁ ÔÇö you donÔÇÖt have to wait three days before calling or texting back, but you do need to consider each situation and act accordingly. ┬áFor instance, donÔÇÖt be available every time he asks you out, but be sure to offer an alternative day to meet up. ┬áCelebrity life coach and relationship pro Melanie Mar chimed in on what women should do when they first meet a guy and how to keep his interest:
1. Understanding men:┬á ÔÇťI do not advocate any game playing, but there is certainly an element of truth to the theory that men ÔÇślike the chase,ÔÇÖÔÇŁ said Mar. ┬áÔÇťNature is that reason, as men are built to compete, conquer and control.ÔÇŁ┬á Mar goes onto say that there is a big difference between women playing hard to get and men enjoying the thrill of the chase.┬á That said, there does come a point when the chase has to stop.┬á ItÔÇÖs important to keep it fun and light in the beginning, but if after a while it starts to seem that the relationshipÔÇÖs not going anywhere, then you might want to move on.
Related: 7 Ways to Flirt in a Web 2.0 World
2. If weÔÇÖre not into playing the game, but men like the chase ÔÇö what do we do?:┬áÔÇťWell, you let him chase you,ÔÇŁ says Mar. ┬áÔÇťBut if you donÔÇÖt show a man some acknowledgement, he will move onto someone who does. ┬áAlways respect and respond to his efforts, but remember easy is not interesting to a man. ┬áHe wants to pursue you as it is in his innate, natural design. ┬áRemember the sperm chases the egg!ÔÇŁ
Related: How to Master Being in a Relationship
3. Dropping the hanky:┬áTo subtly let a man know that you are interested in him, hold his gaze for a few seconds and smile. ┬áItÔÇÖs not easy for men to approach women, so give him an opening signal to put him at ease and prompt him to come to you. ┬áBe engaging by playing ping pong with the opening.
4. Showing interest beyond the first interaction: ┬áItÔÇÖs simple ÔÇö if he contacts you, return his call. ┬áIf he asks you out and you donÔÇÖt have other plans, then go. ┬áLadies, do the 3 to 1 ratio: if he takes you for dinner three times, return in kind by cooking him dinner once. ┬áÔÇťIf a woman is being non-responsive in the beginning of a relationship when a man is actively engaging and pursuing her, she definitely will experience a feeling of control, but it will be short-lived.┬á Eventually he will grow tired of chasing someone who acts as if sheÔÇÖs not interested ÔÇö even if she truly is ÔÇö and he will stop the chase,ÔÇŁ said Mar.
5. Finding that balance:  As my guy friend said, men question if a woman is always available to hang out, so you need to show that you have your own life, too, and quite frankly that others think you are the amazing person that you are.  While this may seem a bit ridiculous, men are ego driven and do want that validation that you are someone worth investing time in.
Mar added, ÔÇťMen donÔÇÖt want you perfectly presented on a silver platter ÔÇö they want to get to know you.┬á Their focus in the early stages of a relationship is chemistry; there has to be something about you that makes him want to see you more. ┬áMaybe in the way you touch his arm when you laugh or the way you hold eye contact when heÔÇÖs talking to you ÔÇö these are the things that make a man stay interested in YOU, not your unavailability.ÔÇŁ
Getting Physical on the First Date: ┬áAnd as for the other question that all women want to know ÔÇö if you get physical with a guy the first time you meet him or on the first date does it ruin your chances of a relationship forming from that? ┬áThereÔÇÖs no right answer and every guy is different from what IÔÇÖve been told. ┬áIf there is a real connection there, then for most guys it wonÔÇÖt matter. ┬áBut, there has to be a pretty strong connection for that to not matter. ┬áSo again, read each situation before you decide how far you will go with a guy and trust your instinct.
Playing hard to get is all about balance ÔÇö because if you play it too much, youÔÇÖll end up having relationships that won't go anywhere past the first interaction; but if you donÔÇÖt succumb to human nature and play it a little, well youÔÇÖll mostly likely end up in the same boat ÔÇö single.
Do you think a woman should play hard to get?  Share your comments below.

text: Deception: A Mother's Secret premiered as a made-for-TV effort during Thanksgiving week, 1991. There's little reason for leading man Steven Weber to offer thanks for the events which transpire in this heavy-going soap opera. Upon the death of his wife, Weber discovers that his entire marital relationship was founded on lies. In particular, he learns that even his young son has an unsavory past--and that Weber may have to give up his child to strangers before long. Though not indicated by the title or the ad campaign, Deception: A Mother's Secret is at base the story of a single father's right to adopt. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Pleased with this product
Similar comforters are too expensive and this one serves its purpose beautifully at a reasonable price. I am pleased with the quality as this comforter is being used as décor only. It is not being used for warmth. Material is good, therefore, I expect it to last for the time I need it. One thing I did not notice until I received the product...the ruffles do not cover the entire comforter. The ruffles are only along the bottom half of the comforter. This was all I needed anyway. Very pleased with this purchase!Read More

beautiful comforter set
the color is beautiful, the fabric is soft and cozy. so feminine....makes me feel like a 50 yr old girly girl....Read More
Love it!
Love this bedding! It is really pretty in person and the pillows it comes with are an extra plus! Two things to think about though: 1. The ruffles do not go all the way up (I still think its really cute though!) 2. The quality is not great. This is just for my dorm room so its fine for me but if you are counting on it lasting a long time I would take this into consideration. Overall I love it though!Read More
Think twice
I bought this product for my daughter, because she wanted to redecorate her room. She found this bedding online and fell in love. The photos are very deceiving. The ruffle on the queen sized comforter do not even go up 1/2 of the way. Not only is the product not what we expected look wise, but the material is awful, it is very bad polyester.Read More

How to Buy a Down Comforter
Two major considerations when purchasing a down comforter are content and construction. The Federal Trade Commission has standards set that specify labeling procedures for products that contain down. If the label of a down comforter reads 100 percent down, the comforter must contain down feathers exclusively. The same is true if the label reads pure down or all down. Most down comforters are made with goose down, but some may include down feathers from other species of fowl. Look below to learn how to buy a down comforter.

How to Fluff Comforters
You know it's time to cover the beds with cozy comforters when there's a chill in the air and cold weather sets in. Bedding stored in moisture-resistant bags with the air removed will be clean, but it may be flat, too. Generally stored during the warm seasons, down comforters may become lumpy if the filling was unevenly distributed while they were packed away. Comforters currently in use that appear flat should be freshened, too. A simple fluffing will restore volume, making your bedding plush and cuddly for cold winter nights. Look below to learn how to fluff comforter sets.
How to Clean Bed Comforters
Bed comforters are notoriously difficult to clean at home because of their bulk and weight. Most bed comforters are quilted and drop at least 15 inches over the sides and foot of the bed.

Teleconferencing with dynamic medical imagesPublication Year: 2000 , Page(s): 88 - 96
Cited by: Papers (11)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (514 KB)
Dynamic images, a sequence of static images displayed in rapid succession and perceived as a continuous motion by the human eye, are widely used in medicine. One of the primary objectives of telemedicine is the transmission of such images to a distant location to manage clinical problems remotely. A broad variety of methods is available to acquire, store, transmit and display these images. However, the context of the clinical problem determines which of these methods can be deployed in a telemedicine solution. This paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the different technologies and presents an example of a teleconferencing system for interventional cardiology. This system acquires cardiac angiography and intravascular ultrasound images and transmits them over an existing Internet connection to a distant location. It is specifically optimized for clinical conferencing, where time is limited for each case presentation during the conference, compared to the relatively long time available for the conference preparation. The system takes advantage of this characteristic by transmitting the images well in advance of the clinical conference and displaying them synchronously at both locations during the conference. This allows for the preservation of the original image quality. View full abstract»
A medical digital library to support scenario and user-tailored information retrievalPublication Year: 2000 , Page(s): 97 - 107
Cited by: Papers (6) | Patents (7)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (367 KB)
Current large-scale information sources are designed to support general queries and lack the ability to support scenario-specific information navigation, gathering and presentation. As a result, users are often unable to obtain desired specific information within a well-defined subject area. Today's information systems do not provide efficient content navigation, incremental appropriate matching or content correlation. We are developing the following innovative technologies to remedy these problems: (1) scenario-based proxies, enabling the gathering and filtering of information customized for users within a pre-defined domain; (2) context-sensitive navigation and matching, providing approximate matching and similarity links when an exact match to a user's request is unavailable; (3) content correlation of documents, creating semantic links between documents and information sources; and (4) user models for customizing the retrieved information and the presentation of results. A digital medical library is currently being constructed using these technologies to provide customized information for the user. The technologies are general in nature and can provide custom and scenario-specific information in many other domains (e.g. crisis management). View full abstract»
Web-based video for real-time monitoring of radiological proceduresPublication Year: 2000 , Page(s): 108 - 115
Cited by: Papers (4)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (841 KB)
Web-based video transmission of images from CT and MRI consoles is implemented in an intranet environment for real-time monitoring of ongoing procedures. Images captured from the consoles are compressed to video resolution and then broadcast through a Web server. When called upon, the attending radiologists can view these live images on any computer within the secured intranet network. With adequate compression, these images can be displayed simultaneously in different locations at a rate of 2 to 5 images/s through a standard local area network. While the quality of the images was insufficient for diagnostic purposes, our user survey showed that they were suitable for supervising a procedure, for positioning the imaging slices, and for routine quality checking before completion of a study. The system was implemented at UCLA to monitor nine CTs and six MRIs distributed in four different buildings. This system significantly improved the radiologists' productivity by saving valuable time spent in trips between reading rooms and examination rooms. It also improved patient care and throughput by reducing the time spent waiting for the radiologists to check a study before removing the patient from the scanner. View full abstract»
InternetQuestion and Answer (iQ&A): a Web-based survey technologyPublication Year: 2000 , Page(s): 116 - 125
Cited by: Papers (3) | Patents (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1067 KB)
Presents "InternetQuestion and Answer" (iQ&A), a Web-based survey development and implementation technology, which has been designed for constructing online surveys for educational, medical or administrative purposes. The iQ&A system is a three-tiered database-backed Web system that has been developed to support a wide range of applications. Surveys are considered as general data collection instruments and include a wide field of application. iQ&A facilitates rapid survey construction and administration, which is ideally suited for biomedical research as well as other research and educational activities. Full report management capabilities provide the survey publisher with online access to current information on survey responses. Current implementations of this technology in the areas of biomedical applications of clinical trials, longitudinal research and other research-related systems are presented. Further refinement of the current system should lead to a powerful general survey technology for broad-based applications. View full abstract»
Genetic algorithms for a robust 3-D MR-CT registrationPublication Year: 2000 , Page(s): 126 - 136
Cited by: Papers (38)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1037 KB)
Presents an original usage of genetic algorithms as a robust search space sampler in an application to 3D medical image elastic registration. An overview of the standard steps of a registration algorithm is given. We focus on the genetic algorithm use, and particularly on the problem of extracting the optimal solution among the final genetic population. We provide an original encoding scheme relying on a structural approach of point matching and then point out the need for a local optimization process. We then illustrate the algorithm with a concrete registration example and assert the results with a direct multi-volume rendering tool. Finally, the algorithm is applied to the Vanderbilt medical image database to assert its robustness and in order to compare it with other techniques. View full abstract»
Construction of a human topological model from medical dataPublication Year: 2000 , Page(s): 137 - 143
Cited by: Papers (4)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (396 KB)
Medical imaging can provide data for useful views of the interior details of human anatomy. In addition to visualization, which in general has been the primary reason for obtaining these data, many other uses are possible. These include modeling of different elements and their inter-relationships -topological modeling, simulation of physical processes, analysis of movements and validation of models. In this paper, we describe some of the modeling issues from medical imaging. The issues are particularly related to topological modeling of different anatomical elements: bones, muscles, articulations, etc. A 3D topological modeler is presented with which anatomists and other users can build a topological database containing structural, topological and mechanical information of anatomical elements.

Three-dimensional modeling and visualization of the cochlea on the InternetPublication Year: 2000 , Page(s): 144 - 151
Cited by: Papers (9) | Patents (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (2791 KB)
3D modeling and visualization of the cochlea using the World Wide Web (WWW) is an effective way of sharing anatomic information for cochlear implantation over the Internet, particularly for morphometry-based research and resident training in otolaryngology and neuroradiology. In this paper, 3D modeling, visualization and animation techniques are integrated in an interactive and platform-independent manner and implemented over the WWW. L.T. Cohen et al.'s (1996) template shape with mean cross-sectional areas of the human cochlea is extended into a 3D geometrical model. Also, spiral computer tomography data of a patient's cochlea is digitally segmented and geometrically represented. The cochlear electrode array is synthesized according to its specification. Then, cochlear implantation is animated with both idealized and real cochlear models. The insertion length, angular position and characteristic frequency of individual electrodes are estimated online during the virtual insertion. The optimization of the processing parameters is done to demonstrate the feasibility of this technology for clinical applications. View full abstract»
Content-based retrieval of dynamic PET functional imagesPublication Year: 2000 , Page(s): 152 - 158
Cited by: Papers (18)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (347 KB)
The recent information explosion has led to a massively increased demand for multimedia data storage in integrated database systems. Content-based retrieval is an important alternative and complement to traditional keyword-based searching for multimedia data and can greatly enhance information management. However, current content-based image retrieval techniques have some deficiencies when applied in the biomedical functional imaging domain. In this paper, we presented a prototype design for a content-based functional image retrieval database system for dynamic positron emission tomography (PET). The system supports efficient content-based retrieval based on physiological kinetic features and reduces image storage requirements. This design makes it possible to maintain a large number of patient data sets online and to rapidly retrieve dynamic functional image sequences for the interpretation and generation of physiological parametric images, and offers potential advantages in medical image data management and telemedicine, as well as providing possible opportunities in the statistical and comparative analysis of functional image data.

The design and applications of a recursive molecular modeling frameworkPublication Year: 2000 , Page(s): 159 - 164
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (328 KB)
In this paper, we present a recursive molecular model that is suitable for multi-resolution analysis in a variety of application areas. Our approach allows ease of use by computer scientists and biologists by proposing a software interface for molecular analysis that hides programming details. We demonstrate that our design is flexible enough for use in desktop analytical applications, in large-scale parallel simulations, and as a server for remote molecular analysis across wide-area networks.

Real-time teleconsultation with high-resolution and large-volume medical images for collaborative healthcarePublication Year: 2000 , Page(s): 178 - 185
Cited by: Papers (20)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (218 KB)
Real-time consultation between referring physicians or radiologists with an expert is critical for timely and adequate management of problem cases. During consultation, both sides need to: 1) synchronously manipulate high-resolution digital radiographic images or large volume MR/CT images; 2) perform interpretation interactively; and 3) converse with audio. We present a specifically designed teleconsultation system in a digital imaging and communication in medicine picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) clinical environment. The system uses bidirectional remote control technology to meet critical teleconsultation application requirements with high-resolution and large-volume medical images operated in a limited bandwidth network setting. We give the system design and implementation methods, and also describe the teleconsultation procedure and protocol used in this system. Finally, laboratory and clinical evaluation results are discussed. View full abstract»

This was an excellent, fascinating experience, and the best of our four tours. The tour guide was a bit of an egotist, but was full of interesting information about Lord of the Rings. The champagne lunch at the sheep station was also memorable.
We thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip and were lucky enough to have amazing weather, warm even on the mountain top. The four wheel drive ride through the fields, along the river and up the mountainside was enormous fun and the view when we climbed to the top was just amazing. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and full of information about Lord of the Rings. Would recommend it to anybody and hope you get the wonderful sunshine that we did.

This was an excellent tour with knowledgeable and friendly guides.
It was a very nice daytrip, not only for LOTR fans. A lot of pictures shown and very good views.
We had a wonderful time on this tour. Brent was an excellent guide with lots of information about the moving filming that took place for the LOTR trilogy.
Although the weather is not good. I still have good time there. Different view of middle earth. :-)
The trip is good and worth going. But the coach journey is a bit long. The four wheel drive vehicle is cool and comfortable. The most important is the stunning view of Mount Sunday.
It's a good hike to the top, but the views are worth the hike!
Thanks to big Steve for a great day exploring around Christchurch and mount Sunday. Beautiful scenery and great information as we drove along from our guide. The walk up edoras was brilliant - my son can't stop raving about how much he enjoyed the trip. Once again thanks for helping to make our trip to NZ memorable.
Enhanced my love of the movies
Had a brilliant day,even the weather stayed good. This was a holiday birthday present which will be hard to beat in the future!! Well done Hammond for giving us a fantastic informative day.
We had a great trip; Our tour guide was very informative and made the experience enjoyable even though we were with a group that didn't know the movie as well as we did. Thanks Terry!

It was a good tour. The guide was entertaining and the entire itinerary was well-planned. I loved the passion behind the guide's detailed explanation and description about 'Lord of the Rings'. The only pity was the weather. It was too foggy for us to have a good view of Edoras. But it's definitely worth the money for this trip.

If you're a die hard LOTR fan then this is a must!
Ferdy O
When you have a spare day in Christchurch, I would highly suggest this trip. The staff knows everything about the place and the movies all three of them. The view were magnificent, even if you have not seen the movies before I can guarantee that you will be amazed.

- RIAs and Customer Identification Just as RIAs owe a duty to diligently protect their clients privacy and guard against theft, firms also play a vital role in customer identification. Although RIAs are not subject to an anti-money laundering rule, securities regulators expect advisors to address these issues in their policies and procedures.
- Proxy Voting RIAs are not required to vote proxies on behalf of their clients. However, when an RIA does assume responsibility for voting proxies, the firm's policies and procedures should help to ensure that votes are cast in the best interest of clients.
Major market indexes were down last week, as reported by Janet Levaux in the Weekly Roundup, and while the continued growth in GDP reported April 30 and the Greece deal should supply a confidence boost to the markets, players will also be looking at what may be telling economic reports this week. They start with personal income and spending on May 3 (increases in both indexes), move to preliminary factory orders and pending home sales on May 4, include industrial productivity and costs on May 6, and climax on May 7 with the most closely watched indicator of the week--the jobs report for April. But on that same day, look for the report on consumer credit for March.
The Senate is expected to start debate on Monday, May 3, on the Dodd financial services reform bill, as Dave Postal reported on April 30, highlighted by the introduction of many amendments--will the Kohl amendment be among them? On May 5 and 6th, the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission will follow up its Goldman Sachs hearings of last week with an investigation of the "Shadow Banking System," featuring a host of former Bear Stearns executives, including Jimmy Cayne, a passel of former SEC chairmen, including Bill Donaldson, and two current and former Treasury secretaries--Hank Paulson and Tim Geithner. The Senate Finance Committee holds hearings on President Obama's proposed TARP fee/tax on May 4. The House Financial Services Committee's Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations holds a hearing May 6 on "The End of Excess (Part One): Reversing Our Addiction to Debt and Leverage."
As corporate earnings season winds down, FirstCall reports that almost 20% of the S&P 500 will report this week; it says that "based on the results for those who have reported and current estimates for the rest, earnings for the S&P 500 are up 53%," though FirstCall reminds us that 2009's first quarter was pitiable for most in the S&P. Companies reporting this week include: Monday, May 3: AllianceBernstein and Principal Financial; Tuesday, Calamos; Wednesday, Prudential Financial and Sun Life; on Thursday, Penson Worldwide; and on Friday, May 7: US Global Investors.
Finally, the titles within Summit Business Media's advisor group make some news of their own this week: WealthManagerWeb.com releases May 3 its annual list of the Top Women in Wealth; and as part of its year-long 30th anniversary celebration, Investment Advisor announces the same day its 30 for 30 in the magazine and here at InvestmentAdvisor.com--the most influential people in and around the profession over the past 30 years, including exclusive interviews with John Bogle, Todd Robinson, and Harry Markopolos, to name but a few.

Who's Tampering with the Trinity?: An Assessment of the Subordination Debate (Google eBook)
Kregel Academic, 2009 - Religion - 272 pages
In his most recent scholarly work, theologian Millard J. Erickson examines the various views concerning subordination within the Trinity and also looks at the discussion throughout the history of the church. In addition to providing rigorous theological analysis of the subject, Erickson exposes flaws in familial implications derived from the Trinity. This increasingly debated topic has finally received a thorough, careful, and objective treatment in Who's Tampering with the Trinity.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Decision on GM Mack can't wait much longer
Blue have to move now
KEEP Joe Mack or dump Joe Mack.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are at a fork in the road.
While the decision is major, there is not a lot of time to spend on it.
Bombers CEO Garth Buchko must make his call on the embattled GM, present it to the board, and then quickly make an announcement.
Something he may or may not be ready to do right now.
"I cannot comment at this time," responded Buchko, to an email on Sunday asking if an announcement would come prior to the team's final game this Saturday or after the season has ended.
Mack will want a firm declaration of his position made soon so he can begin building his team for next season. Or looking for new work.
If the club does plan changes, and that doesn't appear to be the blueprint at this point, they'll immediately need to put together a search team and begin conducting interviews.
They can't wait. Either way.
Hiring a GM in January, such as the Bombers did with Mack in 2010, doesn't work. It puts the new GM behind on a number of fronts, including free agency and hiring a coaching staff.
And preventing Mack from moving forward on his plans would be just as destructive to the organization.
Any decision must be made now.
There are indications one has already been made. Sources say Mack has been told by Buchko he'll be back and Mack has recommended that head coach Tim Burke be signed to a new contract.
Mack owns a 19-34 record and a .358 winning percentage as GM of the Bombers. But many in the organization believe this year was an anomaly due to a host of injuries. They believe Mack has put the right pieces in place and they only need a little more time to mature and flourish.
Burke is 3-6 as head coach of the Bombers.
A high-placed organizational source told me in the last two weeks Burke would be the coach next season and that the club's remaining games had no impact on that decision. That position was reaffirmed prior to Winnipeg's loss on Saturday to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
When I asked about Mack, the source didn't have an answer. But Burke likely can't return without Mack at the helm. So, it would seem, Buchko has made his decision.
The board of directors, however, are the wild card in this game. They can exert their will and steer Buchko in the direction they want to go.
"I will have the authority to hire and fire GMs," said Buchko, at the press conference to announce his hiring in January. "In consultation with the board, of course. It's going to take me some time to learn the football business, the ins and outs of it. But that part doesn't frighten me at all."
There's been lots of talk suggesting the board is split on Mack. Firing him would be expensive — he's owed about $500,000 for the rest of his contract — and the board would like continuity at the GM position.
But there are hawks among the board that view Mack as a failure and want change.
There's another game remaining on the schedule but the real plays are being made high above the field.
Keep your eye on Joe Mack, folks. It's all about him right now.

Rick Bowmer, Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — Lawmakers gave final approval on Wednesday to budget amendments that increase funding of public education by $168 million.
In a unanimous 70-0 vote, members of the Utah House approved SB2, which includes $62 million for enrollment growth and another $62 million to raise per-pupil spending by 2.5 percent.
The budget also includes $3 million ongoing for a public-private preschool initiative sponsored by Rep. Greg Hughes, R-Draper; $1 million ongoing for after-school programing for children in poverty; $159,000 ongoing for suicide prevention efforts; and more than $34 million in one-time funding for various programs.
SB2 was approved by the Senate on Tuesday in a 27-0 vote. During presentation of the bill, Sen. Lyle Hillyard, R-North Logan, co-chairman of the Executive Appropriations Committee, said that more than 50 percent of new state revenue was awarded to public education.
He told his Senate colleagues the budget makes it clear to the public what the priority of the Legislature is in the state of Utah.
"You can tell them it is, was, and always will be public education," he said.
Both chambers have also passed SB3, which adds roughly $75 million in supplemental funding for higher education in the state. Included in that total is a $50 million appropriation for equity funding, which Utah's college and university presidents have agreed to award primarily to the state's fastest-growing campuses to create a per-student funding floor.
