WASHINGTON, DC, September 25, 2012 - Have you ever been taken off guard by a child's question about weight? Many parents struggle with what to say and how to say it. In fact, a WebMD/Sanford Health survey found that parents of teens find it more difficult to talk about weight with their child than talking about sex, drugs, alcohol or smoking. Experts at the Strategies to Overcome and Prevent (STOP) Obesity Alliance and the Alliance for a Healthier Generation (Alliance) say the issue is compounded by the fact that there are limited resources to help parents respond to children's questions about weight. To help, STOP and the Alliance have developed a free conversation guide that offers parents "real-world" situations and plain language responses to questions about weight issues including understanding BMI, body image, bullying, weight bias and family obesity.
"When parents search online or ask a medical professional for help in talking with their children about tough topics like sex or drinking, they can find a host of useful tools," said STOP Obesity Alliance Director Scott Kahan, MD, MPH. "Yet if they search for information on how to field questions on weight, they won't find much beyond the simplistic 'eat less, move more' proclamation we've heard for years. And that's just not sufficient to help the millions of families facing this serious and emotional health issue."
"Weigh In: Talking to Your Children About Weight and Health" is an online guide created to fill the information gap and offer practical advice for parents struggling with how to discuss weight and health with their children. This research-based resource was created and reviewed by experts from a cross-section of fields including pediatrics, obesity research and psychology. Rather than focusing on finding the root of obesity or laying blame, the guide offers practical information for how to responsibly and compassionately respond to the following real-world scenarios:
"We set out to develop a guide to help children deal with obesity. During the process, we realized the great need for a guide that lets parents and caregivers know they are not alone," said Alliance for a Healthier Generation Chief Executive Officer Ginny Ehrlich, EdD. "Weight is a tough issue - perhaps the toughest today's parents face given all the complexities. But that doesn't mean we can avoid it. In fact, it only intensifies the need to weigh in."
The guide also is intended to help bring out into the open a conversation that often requires parents to tread into unfamiliar territory with their children. "Even though speaking to people affected by obesity is what I do for a living, when it came to addressing the issue with my son, I was like a fish out of water," said Traci Baker, mother and weight loss life coach from Indiana. "I wanted him to know that his weight does not define him. And deep down, I knew I needed to be a role model for my son. None of this was easy. To have a guide that doesn't point fingers but offers a helping hand is exactly what parents like me need."
The first edition of the "Weigh In" guide is for parents and adult caregivers of children ages 7 to 11. The free guide is available online at www.WeighInOnObesity.org and on the STOP Obesity Alliance (www.stopobesityalliance.org) and Alliance for a Healthier Generation (www.HealthierGeneration.org) websites.

Law by Landrieu Nets Louisiana & Gulf $2.16M for Coastal Restoration
Senator calls for accelerated payments, lifting arbitrary $500M cap on Gulf state
NEW ORLEANS —Louisiana and the Gulf Coast will receive at least $2.16 million from today's lease sale at the New Orleans Superdome to restore its coast thanks to the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act (GOMESA) authored and passed by U.S. Senator Mary L. Landrieu, D-La., the chair of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Billions more are expected over the course of the leases. Nine leases auctioned today are part of Phase I of GOMESA that allow Louisiana and energy-producing state in the Gulf to share 37.5 percent of the revenues generated in bids, bonuses, royalties and rental payments. GOMESA, which Sen. Landrieu passed in 2006 with Pete Domenici, R-N.M., opened up 8.3 million acres in the Gulf for new exploration and drilling—the first time in a quarter-century. Today is the second time that Louisiana has received revenues under GOMESA.
"For years, Louisiana has had the plans to restore its wetlands and protect its coastal communities from storms, but we haven't had the money. I passed GOMESA to establish a long-term revenue stream and to provide us with a fair share of the revenues generated from the energy developed and produced along our working coast. When it comes to protecting our coast, it is time to stop studying and start building, and the money generated from today's leases will help us take a step forward in that effort," Sen. Landrieu said.
Revenue sharing for the other leases, which would have provided energy-producing states in the Gulf and Louisiana $318 million, begins in 2017. While the revenues Louisiana will receive from today's auction is welcomed news, Sen. Landrieu again called for the passage of her bipartisan FAIR Act that will accelerate the date for all payments, lift the arbitrary $500-million cap and expand revenue sharing to all coastal states whether they produce oil and gas, wind, wave or solar energy.
Sen. Landrieu continued: "Last year alone, Louisiana generated $7 billion off its coast from energy production for the Treasury but received virtually nothing back, and today we missed out receiving $318 million from the lease sales. We must pass the FAIR Act to accelerate the payment date of the other leases auctioned today, lift the arbitrary $500-million cap and extend this partnership to all coastal states—no matter what type of energy they produce offshore."
Local and state officials praised Sen. Landrieu for her leadership that was critical to pass GOMESA and secure $2.16 million from today's lease sale.
Reggie Dupre, executive director of the Terrebonne Levee and Conservation District: "With GOMESA capturing a fair share of the revenues from today's lease sale and Louisiana's constitutional amendment to direct those funds to coastal restoration, we can begin taking the initial steps of building our coastal master plan. Restoring our coast and protecting our communities from storms will allow the people of Louisiana to continue providing this country with the reliable and affordable energy it needs for continued economic growth. Sen. Landrieu has led the effort to restore our coast for nearly two decades, and today is a reminder of how her work will help the people of Terrebonne."
Lafourche Parish President Charlotte Randolph said: "Today's lease sale is critical to not only support our economy, but sustain our coast. Because of GOMESA, Louisiana and the people of Lafourche Parish will receive a fair share of the revenues generated off of these leases that will be integral to protecting coastal residents and the communities we call home. Sen. Landrieu has been a tireless advocate for saving our coast, and this latest lease sale's proceeds will go towards that effort, thanks to her."
Simone Maloz, executive director of Restore or Retreat said: "Just a few miles from open water, today's lease sale in New Orleans marks another return on investment Louisianians will see for their decades of hard work poured into their producing coast. Thanks to Sen. Landrieu's GOMESA, we will finally able to put a share of the billions of dollars in revenues generated off our shores from today's lease sale right back into restoring our irreplaceable coast, community and culture. But our work is not done. We need Congress to pass the FAIR Act so that we receive a portion of the revenues from all the lease sales in the future. The more revenue-sharing funds we return to Louisiana through the FAIR Act, the stronger our national investment will be in protecting energy and seafood production, navigation, and culture."
In 2006, Sens. Landrieu and Domenici, then Senate Energy Chairman, built a bipartisan coalition and passed GOMESA to provide Louisiana and the three other Gulf Coast states with 37.5 percent of the offshore revenues generated. The revenues will be used for wetlands restoration, hurricane protection and flood control projects. Louisiana further buttressed the money's dedicated use by passing a constitutional amendment that specifically directs the funds to these pressing needs.

Premium antibodies
Antibodies you can TRUST!
ChIP-seq on 10.000 cells
Robust automated or manual ChIP and library prep kits
- Revolutionary: Only 10,000 cells needed for complete ChIP-seq procedure
- Reliable and accurate sequencing library preparation from just picogram inputs
- Simple 3-step library prep protocol with NO intermediate purification steps
- Validated on studies for histone marks and with the IP-Star® Compact Automated Platform
The Diagenode MicroPlex kit is the quickest and most efficient way to make sequencing libraries, especially from samples with very low inputs. We regularly start with picogram amounts of ChIP material and produce excellent quality libraries that would be impossible to make using normal methods. Sequencing libraries made from the MicroPlex kit give us excellent results even in large genomes. The kit performs very well, and we will use the kit in the future for studies with low cell numbers or starting material.

High reproducibility ChIP on 10,000 cells with the IP-Star® Compact
ChIP was performed with IP-Star® Compact on human HeLa cells using the Diagenode antibody H3K4me3 (Cat No. pAb-003-050). Sheared chromatin from 10 000 cells, 0.25 µg of the H3K4me3 antibody and 0.25 μg of the negative IgG control were used per IP. Quantitative PCR was performed with the positive controls GAPDH-TSS and EIF4A2 promoter and the negative controls Myoglobin exon 2 and Sat 2 primer sets. The recovery, expressed as a % of input (the relative amount of immunoprecipitated DNA compared to input DNA after qPCR analysis) is shown in this figure.

Where does one of Britain's most stylish men shop when he visits the U.S.? While David Gandy might be known for his Savile Row rigs, when he's on US soil, the shop he hits first for suiting is Aaron Levine's revamped Club Monaco:
"I love Savile Row, but great style is not all about trying to spend a hell of a lot of money on clothing. When I come to the States, my first place to go shop is Club Monaco. I think they are doing really great things. In the UK, Reiss is a great British brand that's been going for 50 years now that's started to do tailor-made, bespoke suits for the High Street, too. Sometimes we think the best is expensive, the best is luxury, and naturally there's the Tom Fords, and the Armanis, and the Guccis, which are great, but I think you can achieve great style very, very simply with stores like Club Monaco and Reiss, too."

New research shows that exposure to a certain kind of insecticide alters the genetic makeup of honeybees. The US has denied the link between insecticides and honeybee deaths, while the European Commission has placed a temporary ban on three neonicotinoids pending new research, but the University of Nottigham study published in the journal PLOS ONE establishes a clear relationship between the insecticide imidacloprid and genetic changes in honeybees.
Image via Shutterstock
Exposed to just two parts per billion of the imidacloprid neonicotinoid out in the field, cells of honeybee larvae have to work harder and the genes that break down toxins increase their activity in order to cope with the insecticide, according to PhysOrg. Genes that regulate how much energy is used to run cells were also affected.
Stopping short of claiming that the insecticide kills the bees, the researchers show that similar genetic changes reduce the lifespan of fruit flies – the most widely studied insect – and reduce the possibility that larva will reach adulthood.
"Although larvae can still grow and develop in the presence of imidacloprid, the stability of the developmental process appears to be compromised. Should the bees be exposed to additional stresses such as pests, disease and bad weather then it is likely to increase the rate of development failure," Reinhard Stöger, Associate Professor in Epigenetics, told Physorg.
Bees pollinate one third of all the food we eat and the quest to protect them has become more urgent than ever. Last winter, one in three bees died in the US. To get a sense of what our supermarkets would look like without them, check out this shocking image produced by Whole Foods.

The study has serious flaws.
1. Between-hive systemics were not reported. Systemic error might render the difference between exposed and control hives statistically insignificant.
2. Dose-response was not measured. This flaw in experimental setup weakens the evidence for a causal relationship between the imidacloprid and the gene expression effect.

RELEASED: June 16, 2009
EAU CLAIRE — The Artists Series at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire has been selected to receive funding from Arts Midwest's Performing Arts Fund, funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional contributions from the Wisconsin Arts Board, General Mills Foundation and Land O'Lakes Foundation.
The Performing Arts Fund supports the touring of professional performing artists specializing in the fine arts of dance, theater, music and family entertainment throughout Arts Midwest's nine-state region. These engagements include public performances and in-depth educational activities reaching audiences that lack access to the performing arts.
Arts Midwest will support two presentations in the UW-Eau Claire 2009-10 Artists Series: the Griffin Theatre Company's "Letters Home" and the musical duo Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas.
"In these economically trying times, arts events like this not only provide uplifting experiences for audiences, they also create meaningful jobs for those employed in the arts industry — thus amplifying the effectiveness of our funding," said David J. Fraher, Arts Midwest executive director .
The Griffin Theatre Company of Chicago will present "Letters Home" at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 19 in UW-Eau Claire's Zorn Arena. The play puts the war in Iraq front and center by bringing to life letters written by soldiers serving in the Middle East. "Letters Home" is inspired by The New York Times article "The Things They Wrote" and the HBO documentary "Last Letters Home," along with additional letters and correspondence from Frank Schaeffer's books. These letters were written under the most difficult of circumstances: the disorientation of training, deployment, separation from loved ones and combat. Giving voice to a generation that went to war for reasons still being debated, the play reveals the humanity that lies within the war through the eyes of those fighting it.
The Artists Series will present Fraser and Haas at 7:30 p.m. April 14 in UW-Eau Claire's Schofield Auditorium. The duo displays dazzling teamwork, dancing rhythms and a shared passion for improvising on the melody and the groove of Scottish tunes.
The musical partnership between Fraser, long regarded as Scotland's premier fiddle ambassador, and the sizzlingly talented cellist Haas may not seem an obvious one. But this unlikely pairing is the return to a long-standing musical tradition.
"Going back to the 1700s," Fraser said, "fiddle and cello made up the dance band of choice in Scotland, with the cellist bowing bass lines and driving the rhythm. ... I've been pushing to get the cello back into the traditional music scene for years, always on the lookout for a cellist with whom I could have a strong musical conversation."
Funding from Arts Midwest will allow both performances to include an outreach component that will broaden the Artists Series' reach into the community while also deepening the artistic experience of those individuals participating in the activities.
Based in Minneapolis, Arts Midwest connects people throughout the Midwest and the world to meaningful arts opportunities, sharing creativity, knowledge and understanding across boundaries. A nonprofit regional arts organization headquartered in Minneapolis, Arts Midwest serves audiences, arts organizations and artists throughout the nine states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin and beyond. One of six nonprofit regional arts organizations in the United States, Arts Midwest's history spans more than 25 years.
The National Endowment for the Arts is a public agency dedicated to supporting excellence in the arts, both new and established; bringing the arts to all Americans; and providing leadership in arts education. Established by Congress in 1965 as an independent agency of the federal government, the Endowment is the nation's largest annual funder of the arts, bringing great art to all 50 states, including rural areas, inner cities and military bases.
Funded by the students of UW-Eau Claire, the Artists Series is administered by the Activities and Programs office of the University Centers.

It's a sea of blue, white and pink at the 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards. The ladies are definitely not dialing down their glam factor on the red carpet. The grown ups take their sexy, dark gowns to the center stage while the young starlets love their bright, pink gowns. Of course, there are the angels in white that swept my feet away. I can't tell you how much I'm loving the red carpet looks at the 2013 SAG Awards. Here are some of my favourites (and I have more!):
Oh my Dior Haute Couture! Jennifer Lawrence is a total bombshell in this midnight blue creation and Chopard jewels.
Anne Hathaway is beautiful black swan in this Giambattista Valli Haute Couture tulle confection.
Kerry Washington is turning heads in this corseted white Rodarte gown. It's an absolute winner.
Can January Jones commit any fashion crime? I guess not. Everything about this look – the hair and the Prabal Gurung gown is simply perfection.
What a vision. Amanda Seyfriend stole the limelight in this blue Zac Posen gown.
Marion Cotillard is such a star in this jaw-dropping Dior Haute Couture gown in dark green and white.
When I grow up, I want to look like Julianne Moore in Chanel Haute Couture.
Kiernan Shipka looked adorably cute in this Oscar de la Renta frock.
Nicole Kidman never disappoints in this Vivienne Westwood Couture lace gown.
And finally, the ladies in pink! Nina Dobrev in pink crepe Elle Saab gown, Lea Michele in hot pink Valentino and Freida Pinto in fuchsia Roland Mouret.

Digital Curricula | News
More than a half-dozen school districts in Texas have approved an all-digital curricula for grades 5 through 12, which is delivered via the cloud and compatible with most devices, like tablets and PCs.
The new adoptees, which include districts in cities like Houston and Fort Worth, can begin using the educational programs, McGraw-Hill's CINCH Science and CINCH Math, in the 2011-2012 school year.
The curricula include interactive e-books with video illustrations and educational games. One feature inspired by social networking allows students to start conversations that resemble Facebook comment threads. The program is also customizable from the district level down.
The science program will help prepare Texas students for the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR), to be administered for the first time in the 2011-2012 school year.
"We're excited to introduce students in Texas to an all-digital science program that provides an engaging learning experience no matter where they are, or which device they're using," said Randy Reina, senior vice president of McGraw-Hill's Center for Digital Innovation in a statement. "With programs like CINCH Science, school districts get the best of both worlds--innovative
digital solutions with authoritative content that's supported by years of research and field-testing--through a subscription that they can customize to their needs."
According to McGraw-Hill, there are more than 200,000 CINCH users nationwide, and more than 140 school districts in Texas alone that have adopted the science program.

Implementing the jQuery DataTables plugin in a 'classic' Domino Web application.
Thu, Jun 21st 2012 7:08a Michelle O'Rorke
Well, it's been a really long time since I posted anything here. I started a new job last year, which has involved working on traditional Notes and Domino web databases in a large company with a very old infrastructure - Note 6.5 and 7 clients, Domino 6.5 through to 8.0.1. So no recent xPages for me. But I have been doing a lot of work with jQuery, because the company's default browser is *still* IE6, and jQuery eases the pain.

Maybe I'm just really slow, but after using DDE for over two years, I only just discovered that you can place design elements (or design views for that matter) side-by side. Very useful on a wide-screen monitor. Just drag any open tab to the right-margin of DDE. And here you go - the windows side-by side.

Firstly, sorry for the delay in getting my next post published - things have been very busy at work and with the family. Customising the colour scheme The appearance of the application layout control, both in terms of colours and placement, is all done through CSS. I would recommend sticking with the overall layout then tweaking it. Start small - just change some colours to match your corporate palette, and maybe tweak the column widths or fonts as required. Firstly, create a style sheet in N

Starting with the Application Layout control The Application Layout control in the xPages Extension Library is a powerful control to allow you to set up web pages which follow the IBM OneUI theme. This allows for consistent presentation across web applications and it looks pretty good. Not a bad thing if you are not a Web Designer but rather a back-end developer tasked with creating a reasonable looking web site. You can see it in action in the various Wikis published by IBM such as the Lotus N

How do you change the name of a script library in DDE 8.5.1? [Updated]
Sun, Nov 29th 2009 3:35p Michelle O'Rorke
The only way I can find to do it is 'in view edit' - that is clicking on the script library name in the list of script libraries so that I can change the name without opening the library. I can't bring up the old-style properties box for a script library any more and the library name is not editable in the eclipse-style properties. There is no refactor/rename option on right-click in the 'applications' view as there is in package explorer view in eclipse. Am I missing something or is this

Although it still feels rough around the edges, I keep finding little things to love about Domino Designer for Eclipse 8.5.1. Today I was refactoring some of my script libraries moving code around, renaming libraries, etc. I forgot that I loaded one of the libriaries directly into two action buttons on a subform. In the past I would only have discovered this when I went to load the form, at which time I would see the ever useful error message "Error loading USE or USELSX module". The next ha

Question: Do you run a Notes client or Admin client on your server?
Sun, Sep 6th 2009 11:56p Michelle O'Rorke
I have to admit I haven't been into the Notes forums for quite a while - I had a bit of free time at lunch today and after researching a strange issue I decided to answer a few questions - do my community service. In both the 6/7 forum and the 8 forum there were postings about issues running clients on the server. Do you do this? If so, why? I haven't seen any need to install client software of any flavour on the server for years, since the "Full Access Administration" feature was added (

The initial request was worded along the lines of 'like form XXX but with the following changes: (etc)' The database is a mature application, and is beginning to suffer from code rot. What appears to have originally been a reasonably clearly structured function has degenerated into over 300 lines of nested if and case statements. I was struggling to work through the logic and

Consuming .Net web services in Notes 8.5
Fri, Feb 13th 2009 5:52a Michelle O'Rorke
A new challenge this week: A client wants to consume a web service from an external party. So they are using Notes & Domino 7 at the moment, but have an upgrade to 8.5 planned (although timing has not been confirmed yet). I have not used Julian Robichaux's tool Stubby, but have only ever read good things about it. My Java is pretty basic but I have written a few small things and used LS2J so I figured this would be achievable in Notes 7. However I was excited about the idea of doing it i

Work and family have been pretty busy, so this next post has taken a little longer than I expected OK, so dijits are pretty and all web 2.0-ish, and the date picker is nice, but there is more to dojo than that. The whole point of a javascript framework is to simplify common tasks and allow you to extend your application. Basic event handling Firstly, a common task on a web form: the user clicks a radio button and some of the fields are hidden or shown, depending on the choice. No too difficult

The next thrilling episode in my dojo adventures ... Firstly, some references: the three primary references I used are The Book of Dojo - Part 2 which gives you an overview of dijits and how they work in general, the Dojo Campus - Feature Explorer which has examples and shows the related code, the dojo API Reference. I also found the following part of the dojo campus through Google: http://docs.dojocampus.org. I can't find a link to it on the main DojoCampus page, but it's very useful. To cr

Part one of my adventures in dojo can be found here Next, I tried to run this on my 8.5 Beta 1 Domino server at home. First problem: the dojo files are not installed under the /html folder but in a new folder in the file structure /js. I could not load the javascript file at all.

I've been very quiet, because I haven't spent much time on-line in the last month.

The existing code was to be retained, with a front page for the user's to choose the new features or the existing features (not my choice in implementation, but beyond my control).

I have an iPod Touch. I was given this as a Christmas present, and at first I wasn't sure how much I would use it as I am not a big music fan. I quickly found myself addicted though - by the apps, video for the kids to watch while travelling, etc. I still don't like iTunes very much, and jail-broke the iPod after about 3 months. I use Lotus Notes at work and have a Blackberry, and the company runs a BES for Domino. For the last two years I have just taken full sync for granted. I have to say

Playing with Domino 8.5 server

So, a lazy Saturday night in front of the TV, watching the Olympics. What is a geek girl to do? Why set up and test a new server of course. I've been wanting to have a play with X-pages, so tonight I installed a Domino 8.5 server on my laptop. I had previously had an 8.0.1 server installed for some application testing I did a couple of months ago, so this was an upgrade rather than a full install. I am running Windows XP and installed the server directly onto the laptop. I know I should find

EMLC Marks Third Anniversary
Fund Overview
FRAN RODILOSSO: The Market Vectors Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond ETF, EMLC, was the first U.S.-listed ETF to track an emerging markets local currency bond index. EMLC is now three years old, having been launched in July 2010. As of June 30, 2013, EMLC's assets were over $1.2 billion, and it remained the lowest-cost emerging market local currency bond ETF, at net expenses of 47 basis points 1,2. EMLC is designed to provide access to markets, although large, that are difficult for many investors to access. EMLC's returns historically have come from three areas: income, appreciation or depreciation of bond prices and currency movements.
Emerging market local currency debt is actually the largest component of the emerging markets debt universe. It outweighs hard currency debt by a vast margin at this point in time and is growing more rapidly. It offers investors an alternative to dollar-based investments within the emerging markets universe.
Underlying Index < /p>
RODILOSSO: EMLC seeks to track the J.P. Morgan GBI-EMG Core Index [GBIEMCOR]. The GBI-EM indexes are the most widely-followed indexes in the emerging market local currency space. Therefore, some investors see EMLC as a very good bellwether for the market as a whole. The Index's components, as of 6/30/13, were approximately 184 bonds from 16 countries, and are actually quite large and relatively liquid themselves. As of 6/30/2013, almost 90% of the Index's components had an investment-grade rating from at least one of the major ratings agencies.
Investment Process < /p>
RODILOSSO: Van Eck applies sampling techniques to its credit and emerging market fixed-income ETFs where a complete index replication is not really practicable.
Investment Management Team < /strong> < /p>
RODILOSSO: Mike Mazier and I are co-portfolio managers of EMLC. Mike has managed the Fund since its launch in 2010. He has more than 20 years' experience in fixed-income research, portfolio management, and systems development. I joined the team in 2012 and I also have 20 years' experience in fixed-income investing, the last 18 of which have been focused on emerging markets.
Strategy Execution < /strong> < /p>
RODILOSSO: Having reached its third anniversary, we consider EMLC to be time tested. Historically, its investment process, its market makers, and its creation and redemption process have held up to periods of both heavy buying and heavy selling. The team's ability to execute efficiently is a big reason why, in our opinion, the Fund has historically tracked its Index well through various market environments. EMLC recently received a rating from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, the NAIC. As of 6/30/13, it carried a risk-based capital designation of two, the second-highest rating on the NAIC scale. < sup>3 < /p>

1 Out of five funds in the EM local currency bond ETF category, according to Morningstar.
2 EMLC Fees & Expenses – Gross Expense Ratio: 0.47%; Net Expense Ratio: 0.47%. Van Eck Associates Corporation (the "Adviser") has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of the Fund (excluding interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.47% of the Fund's average daily net assets per year until at least September 1, 2013. During such time, the expense limitation is expected to continue until the Fund's Board of Trustees acts to discontinue all or a portion of such expense limitation. Cap excludes certain expenses, such as interest.
3 Preliminary NAIC Designations are the intellectual property of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and are redistributed here under License. A Preliminary NAIC Designation is an opinion of the NAIC Securities Valuation Office (SVO) of the probable credit quality designation that would be assigned by the SVO to an investment if purchased by an insurance company and reported to the SVO. A Preliminary NAIC Designation is only one of the regulatory factors considered by the SVO as part of its analysis of probable regulatory treatment under the Regulatory Treatment Analysis Service (RTAS). A full discussion of such other regulatory factors is set forth in the RTAS Letter provided to Van Eck Associates Corporation. A Preliminary NAIC Designation cannot be used to report the ETF to state insurance regulators. However, the purchasing insurance company may obtain an NAIC Designation for the ETF by filing the security and final documents for the ETF with the SVO. The indication of probable regulatory treatment indicated by a Preliminary NAIC Designation is not a recommendation to purchase the ETF and is not intended to convey approval or endorsement of the ETF Sponsor or the ETF by the NAIC.

Investments in emerging market securities are subject to elevated risks which include, among others, expropriation, confiscatory taxation, issues with repatriation of investment income, limitations of foreign ownership, political instability, armed conflict and social instability. As the Fund invests in securities denominated in foreign currencies and all of the income received by the Fund will be in foreign currencies, changes in currency exchange rates may negatively impact the Fund's return. The Fund will generally invest a portion of its assets in Rule 144A securities. Rule 144A securities are restricted securities. They may be less liquid than other investments because, at times, such securities cannot be readily sold in broad public markets and the Fund might be unable to dispose of such securities promptly or at reasonable prices. A restricted security that was liquid at the time of purchase may subsequently become illiquid. < /p>
The "net asset value" (NAV) of an ETF is determined at the close of each business day, and represents the dollar value of one share of the ETF; it is calculated by taking the total assets of an ETF subtracting total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV is not necessarily the same as an ETF's intraday trading value. Investors should not expect to buy or sell shares at NAV. Total returns are based upon closing "market price" (price) of the ETF on the dates listed. < /p>
Fund shares are not individually redeemable and will be issued and redeemed at their NAV only through certain authorized broker-dealers in large, specified blocks of shares called "creation units" and otherwise can be bought and sold only through exchange trading. Creation units are issued and redeemed principally in kind. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market. < /p>
Investing involves substantial risk and high volatility, including possible loss of principal. Bonds and bond funds will decrease in value as interest rates rise. An investor should consider the investment objective, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund carefully before investing.

The NEW PANTONE Formula Scale 3 - LC
Specifically designed for Smaller Mixes of PANTONE Colors....
The NEW PANTONE Formula Scale 3 - LC has all these advanced features:
* Designed specifically for smaller mixes
* Higher Resolution for Accurate Results
* Operates in kg, grams or lbs
* Programmed for ALL PANTONE Solid Colours including Metallics & Pastels
* Includes PANTONE GoeSystem Colour Range
* Proven performance
* Large backlit display with detailed information
* Indicator bar showing progress of each base ink addition
* Easy to use
* Low Cost
The NEW PANTONE Formula Scale 3 - LC has been developed specifically for producing smaller mixes of PANTONE Color Inks, up to 2 Lb. This meets the needs both of larger printers seeing a trend towards shorter print runs and faster turnaround, and of smaller printshops who are generally neglected by the ink companies.
A key feature of all PANTONE Formula Scales is that the formulas for mixing the PANTONE Colors are ready programmed into the scale memory. It makes mixing the inks quick and easy - you just enter the PANTONE Number and ink quantity required, and the scale automatically does the calculations and steps you through the weighing process. As with other PANTONE Formula Scale 3 models, it comes ready programmed with ALL the formulas contained in the standard PANTONE Formula Guide (including metallics & fluorescents), and the latest colors in both the PANTONE Metallic Formula Guide and the PANTONE Pastel Formula Guide, and now with the NEW PANTONE GoeSystem Color Range.
The large backlit display provides detailed information at every stage, with numbers displayed in large digits - so the scales are really easy to use. You are guided through the addition of the base inks by a progress bar, and can then use the weight indicator for the precise amount. Should you miss out any of the bases, or not be within tolerances, you will be warned before you quit the mixing sequence.
You simply select the PANTONE Color you want to mix, enter the quantity, then put a container onto the weigh pan and step through the mixing sequence. The scales will compute the exact amounts of each of the base inks required, and warn you of any potential problems. Context sensitive information is available at the touch of a button, so you can easily check a formula, the quantities of base inks required or the progress of the mix. You can also select from a number of options, including a choice to work in kg or lbs.
The PANTONE Formula Scale 3 - LC has an enhanced weighing resolution of 0.1grams, so accurate mixes of very small quantities can be achieved, from just a few grams, up to a maximum of 1,000 grams. For those who still like to work with imperial measures, the scale can also be set to work in pounds with a capacity up to 2 lbs.
The low cost of the new LC models means everyone can enjoy the benefits of using the PANTONE Formula Scales, even the smallest printshop. There is no waiting for special color inks to be delivered, and no messing about getting the formula right. Save by using lower cost base color inks, and mixing just the amount for the current job. After all, when it comes to reprints, you know you will be able to get the same color again!
