In the scene before me, snow swirls around a lone cabin.
It rests, blissfully silent here: the middle of nowhere.
I set down my snow globe and focus on the homework before me.
*Sijo: a Korean poem with three lines, a total of 44-46 syllables, each line having 14-16. The sijo may be narrative or thematic, introducing a situation or problem in line 1, development or "turn" in line 2, and resolution in line 3.
The first half of the final line employs a "twist": a surprise of meaning, sound, tone or other device. The sijo is often more lyrical, subjective and personal than haiku, and the final line can take a profound, witty, humorous or proverbial turn. Like haiku, sijo has a strong basis in nature, but, unlike that genre, it frequently employs metaphors, symbols, puns, allusions and similar word play.

I still am a little unsure how I feel about Dream House, written by YouTube star, CutiePieMarzia. And to be honest, I had not heard of her before...but back to the subject at hand, Dream House was an interesting read that left me with a lot of questions. This story is about a girl named Amethyst, who finds herself in a very weird situation in a big creepy house with some sketchy, creepy people. The more time she spends in the house, the more I was asking myself, "what in the world is Amethyst doing"?!
She comes across this big, beautiful house and a nice litte old couple who lives there. They invite her inside and welcome her to stay the night. One night turns into many as strange things happen to her each day.
At times I found the story to be a little over the top and silly, (seriously, why didn't she leave?) but I pushed through it and on the other side I found it to be a pretty scary read, though a little unbelievable at times.
I would not read it again, but I didn't find it to be a waste of time. I give it a 2/5
Once there was a man who lived alone in a hut overlooking an ocean. The sky was often gray with storm clouds, and the constant rain brought a chill to the air. Though the wind howled despondently, the man was quite content. He woke early every morning, pulling on a raincoat and chest waiters before leaving the hut. He would walk down to the shoreline with an old fishing net and a thermos of coffee. After spending hours tossing in the waves in his boat he would return home. Although he was alone and there was little coziness to his hut, he would never dream of leaving. For his grandmother told him years earlier when he was a little boy that you can only be truly happy when you look inside yourself and can smile at what you see there. He had traveled the world and lived in many a place, but it was only in the lonely hut on the gray blue ocean that he could smile.

I liked that when the parents came in to sign their children up they ended up singing up too when they found out they could. It got the whole family involved and reading. Also, it was really great to see people excited about getting their free book when they signed up because they already knew what they would start the program. The hours are very flexible and it's nice to be at the table both helping and relaxing with other work when no one is there.

Last summer was one of the best summers ever. Everyone was so nice and helpful. I really enjoyed it.

Being a volunteer last year was an amazing experience! I had the chance to stray away from my comfort zone and talked and helped lots of people I loved seeing the kids they were so exited to get their book and start reading. I think that it is key to start and learn to love reading at a young age, so you get an amazing feeling when you know you are helping a kid take their first steps towards loving to read. The library is like a second home to me. I met so many other teens, and made many friends, it was great to talk, laugh, and work with kids my age for four hours straight. I felt like I truly belonged there. I also really enjoyed the hands on activities I helped with. This is a great program! It's something that everyone should try, especially if you have nothing to do during the summer. You don't know until you try!

I had a great time volunteering last year. It was awesome to be at the library helping kids and parents sign up and log their reading, and it was also super neat to get to see the wide range of people who use the library, and realize the extent of the library's impact on the community. I had a blast, and a nice bonus was getting volunteer hours. It was an incredible experience, and I encourage others to volunteer as well.

Summer reading was really fun! I got to see the best of the community and got to help the nicest people. Watching little kids faces light up when they got their prizes was the best part! I also got to help some amazing people, including a deaf woman! Over all summer reading was a great experience. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to doing it again this summer.
ISEEYOU is a um... Criminal who uses smoke and creepy stuff to his advantage. He lost his parents to an explosion while Rusher (a different hero) was trying to save them. ISEEYOU swore revenge upon Rusher for letting his parents die. He is an adopted kid and creepy. "I see you, you cannot see me" is his catch phrase and way to get revenge and defeat others (you can't see him...but HE can see YOU). He wears a mask to add some more creep to him. He is also a teenager who likes to make wisecracking jokes at his foes. And one more thing... ISEEYOU... (Not really though)
George Gambol wanted to have fun with some of the experiments he had using robotics. He made a suit to hide his identity and went on a crime spree, taking anything he could find or want using his robotic exo-legs. Of course he was stopped. Later he did more experiments, but these experiments were live or die. He then gained superpowers like Lightspeed, but with one advantage... He could leap to very high heights. Thus gaining the name Leap...
Be warned: this film is rated R.
When Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele announced that they were ending their critically acclaimed Comedy Central show, Key & Peele, fans everywhere were understandably heartbroken. For those who watched it, Key & Peele was one of the funniest shows on television, continually delivering hilarious sketches every week: their chemistry undeniable and their comedic brilliance evident. Luckily for all us fans, as well as fans of comedy in general, Key and Peele star in Keanu, a hilarious fun film about two suburban cousins and the cutest cat anyone has ever seen.
Jordan Peele plays Rell, a regular suburban man whose girlfriend just broke up with him. Still reeling from the loss, his cousin Clarence (Keegan-Michael Key) comes over to help him through his tough time. When Clarence arrives though, it seems like he won't need to help Rell much; Rell has replaced his ex with a kitten who showed up at his door. He named the cat Keanu, and it is possibly the most adorable kitten that has ever existed. So when Keanu gets stolen by a gang, it's up to Rell and Clarence to descend into the criminal underworld in order to retrieve Keanu.
Jokes are the most important part of any comedy, and Keanu delivers on this front. Not to say that every joke landed, there were a solid amount of chuckle-worthy lines and a few more jokes that just missed completely, but I laughed heartily many times during the movie. The plot provides a lot of room for jokes surrounding the "thuggery" Rell and Clarence try to feign around real gangsters, as both are as un-thug as possible. These jokes land most often out of them all, and this dynamic is one of the core elements in Keanu.
Speaking of core elements, Key and Peele have some undeniably great chemistry. And how could they not, having worked on together for many years, all the way back to MADTV. Key is the more extroverted of the two and Peele is quieter and more understated in his role. For many duos, the louder character has a tendency to eclipse their quiet counterpart. Key did this a few times throughout Keanu, but a testament to their ability to work together, Peele stands out in several scenes on his own accord.
The film is written well, with the ratio of jokes to serious moments perfect. What's great about this film is that it isn't just a stupid movie to hunt down a kitten. It is that, but not just that. The character Rell has no companion, doesn't have a job he's emotionally invested in, doesn't have a present family. To Rell, Keanu is his whole world, and about the only thing he finds meaning in. This deeper, emotional theme is really what roots the film in reality among all the George Michael jokes. Rell's feeling of dependency on Keanu allows the film to go to some crazy ridiculous places, and it sure does go there, while delivering an emotional basis for the audience to connect with. I truly believe that this dynamic is one of the two secrets that elevate this film from all the other R rated comedies.
The other thing that propels Keanu past it's competition is the kitten itself. Jordan Peele once said in an interview they at times had seven different cats all used for the role of Keanu. Regardless, the kitten (or cumulation of kittens) Keanu is, as I have mentioned, probably the cutest cat I have ever seen. This cuteness helps people forget the few jokes that don't land and some of the few subpar elements of the script, like poor pacing. Instead of leaving the theater saying, "that was pretty funny," people will probably leave saying "THIS part was hilarious, THIS part too, and that kitten was ADORABLE".
A little bit of cuteness goes a long way, as the saying I just made up goes, and Keanu is a testament to this. With some hilarious moments, a grounded emotional story, and a kitten straight from heaven, you should enjoy Keanu a lot! I'd rate it 8/10

So, it's the time of the year to plant all of your seeds. But you probably don't know the first thing about gardening do you? Well, today I will be telling you about starting your seeds.
The first thing you'll want to do is buy some indoor planting pots. I got some small plastic pots in a tray. They came with clear dome over them to help the seeds germinate, (or to help the seed sprout into a plant.)
These little seed starter pods might come with discs that expand when you pour water on them, but I personally like to throw them away or find ones that don't have them. Instead of the pods I like to get some potting soil and mix it in with Bison manure. Not everyone has bison manure so just potting soil will work. Pour the soil into the little pods and label what the seeds pods are what with some tape. To plant the seeds I use a pencil and poke the eraser in just enough to make a hole in it.
Now it's up to you what seeds you want to plant. I am planting some herbs and leafy plants this year. Now you just have to water and care for the plants until the frost comes, where you can ant them out in your garden. What? You don't have a garden plot? That's an easy fix. You can designate a plot of land in your backyard to the size you want your garden to be (with consent). After that, you can put fence or bricks around the garden to protect it.
To prepare the dirt for planting, mix in some potting soil and manure into your dug up dirt. I have a wood stove so I put wood ashes into my garden and that seems to help as well. If you have a rototiller that's great, just keep on tilling the garden until it's all mixed together. If you don't have a rototiller, you will have to use a shovel, which is a little harder but has the same result.
Congratulations! You have just started your very own garden! This is just the tip of the iceberg though. Soon I will talk about taking care of your garden. Just remember that gardening is a full time hobby. You have to take care of the plants more than you think. However, it pays back tenfold.
Last year really impacted me a lot. I did a lot of volunteer work at Arvada, and I still have been. I have never been a huge fan of reading, but helping people is one thing I have always enjoyed doing. One reason I started doing this, was because I needed service hours for scouting! I never thought I would do so much volunteering. I mean, I did some hours here and there at my school, but nothing like here. The staff at the libraries are very kind, and help out if you needed it. I met lots of people during this, and actually, some people even asked if I was there that day. I had to work around other things, but I got 118+ hours in. It was fun seeing the smiles on people's faces when they successfully got things completed, and they got their prizes. This was the main highlight of my summer last year, and I would recommend doing it to any teen. I honestly would rather be there helping others all day, than sitting around and playing video games all day. I have never been a huge video gamer, and this is much healthier for you anyway. Anyone who is looking to do something besides sitting around and doing nothing all day, should really try it. They always need as much help as possible!
William Specht worked at a science lab to innovate lives. He was working on a genetic enhancer to allow people to react faster to surroundings. At the time the lab was experiencing many break ins. One night while William was working the Virus showed up, (a artificial intelligence robot, more about him later!) telling William to test his genetic enhancer on himself. He was really freaked out because the enhancer could still be unstable. Doing what the robot told him to do he felt a wave of vibration on himself. Also, he saw the world around him going in slow motion. But later, when he could control what was happening to him, he was the one going super fast. So the world around him looked super slow.

MILAN — Marzotto more than doubled its 2004 net profit as its board approved a plan to spin off its fashion operations into a new company, to be called Valentino Fashion Group SpA.
Marzotto's net profit for the year doubled to 40 million euros, or $49.6 million at average exchange, for the 12-month period. Revenue grew 5 percent to 1.82 billion euros, or $2.26 billion, on double-digit sales increases at Hugo Boss and Valentino.
Marzotto's operating profit rose 30 percent to 172 million euros, or $213.3 million, on improving margins at Valentino and Hugo Boss.
Meanwhile, Marzotto is planning to spin off its more profitable fashion operations, including fashion house Valentino, a majority stake in Hugo Boss AG and its licenses for Marlboro Classics and M Missoni, into a newly created subsidiary, which is currently named Italfashion SpA but will eventually be called Valentino Fashion Group.
A Marzotto spokesman said the transactions required for the spin-off will be completed by the end of July.
Marzotto shareholders will receive one share in Valentino Fashion Group for each Marzotto share held. Both companies will be traded on the Milan stock exchange.
Marzotto has said fashion is the way forward for the company. It's been diversifying out of the less lucrative textile industry and shifting production of some fabrics out of Italy and to countries with cheaper labor such as those in Eastern Europe. Marzotto SpA will retain these textile operations as well as noncore assets such as real estate and equity stakes in other companies.
"The [spin-off] allows for better visibility of the two businesses on the financial markets," Marzotto president Antonio Favrin said in a statement.
He said that Valentino Fashion Group's brand portfolio and logistical synergies will make it "one of the few global protagonists in fashion and luxury."
Based on 2004 numbers, Marzotto said Valentino Fashion Group's sales would have risen 5 percent to 1.55 billion euros, or $1.92 billion. The unit would have posted a gross operating profit of 237 million euros, or $293.9 million, and would have net debts of 423 million euros, or $524.5 million.
Specifically, Valentino's 2004 sales rose 13 percent to 170 million euros, or $210.8 million. Hugo Boss AG, listed on the Frankfurt stock exchange, released its 2004 figures earlier this month, showing profitability and sales growth. Net income rose 7 percent to 88.2 million euros, or $109.4 million, while sales advanced 11 percent to 1.17 billion euros, or $1.45 billion. The company sighted continued growth for Boss Woman, reporting a 36 percent sales increase.

Sam Francis (1923–1994) and John Chamberlain (1927–2011) may seem like an unlikely pairing for a two-person show, given Francis's lyrical, abstract canvases and Chamberlain's brutal crushed-car sculptures. But they were both, in their own ways, superlative colorists and masters of gesture, so as couples go, these two are far from odd.

Related hopes to submit new app for Snowmass Base Village by mid-July
June 25, 2014
Related Colorado hopes to submit an application to extend its development rights in Base Village by July 15.
That's what its president, Dwayne Romero, told a crowd gathered in the Town Hall council chambers on Wednesday.
The Snowmass Village Town Council, the town Planning Commission and Related have been holding a series of pre-sketch plan meetings to discuss the stalled development. This was the final meeting and the one at which Related responded to the input provided by residents, stakeholders and public officials at the first two meetings.
The majority of participants in the second meeting said they supported extending Related's development rights if certain conditions were met, Romero said during his presentation.
"The vesting extension and the amount of support for moving forward was one of the big 'ahas' for us," Romero said. "We expected more negative feedback."
While Related has been clear that it was asking for the extension — it had an application for that on file earlier this year — it might not have been as clear that it was willing to commit to conditions, Romero said.
Romero said his company would propose a series of milestones that it must achieve or the town could discontinue the development. The milestones — or "kill switches," as he called them — that he would propose are submitting applications for Lots 2, 3 and 4; making certain public improvements; finishing construction on Lot 8, the second phase of the Viceroy building; and completing construction on Lots 2 and 3, all by certain dates.
Related plans to request that the rights be extended to Nov. 3, 2019.
Planning Commission member Jim Gustafson said he felt that the vesting timeline could be tightened up and wanted to consider "guarantees and penalties" as opposed to "kill switches."
Planning Commission member Tom Goode said he felt it was certain that the vesting extension would be approved.
"We don't have much choice on that," Goode said.
However, some members of the public didn't feel that way. Resident Arnie Mordkin encouraged the officials to consider suspending the development rights, as opposed to granting or denying the extension.
"The community has had a kill switch for the last five years," Mordkin said. "What good did that do us?"
The town should stick to the land-use application process outlined in its code but also think creatively, Mordkin said.
Other issues
Another important takeaway Related got from the second meeting was that many residents no longer felt an aquatic center was imperative for the development, Romero said.
While most participants did say that at the meeting on May 29, some said otherwise at Wednesday's meeting. The discussion at both meetings centered around the aquatic center as a "community purpose," but to Planning Commission member Bob Sirkus, a pool in Base Village would serve visitors more than residents.
"I think it's important to keep that differentiation in mind when we think about what the right amenity is for Base Village," Sirkus said.
In addition, Jim DeFrancia, speaking for the Capitol Peak and Hayden lodge owners, said those buyers had expected some kind of aquatic amenity to be built when they purchased their units.
The public improvements that Romero said his company would commit to were the roundabout, the overlay of upper Wood Road, the entrance to the parking garage and a community facility.
Planning Commission member Patrick Keelty said the roundabout and Wood Road improvements should be the last projects completed because they will be used heavily during the rest of the construction in Base Village.
"Getting that device, the roundabout, installed may be better for overall public safety," Romero said. "We can make an argument in either direction."
Either way, this next application would make it a question of "when," not "if," he said.
Mary Butler, a resident on Wood Road, said the starting point for Related showing its commitment to the town could be the roundabout.
"I want a roundabout, and I want it now," she said.
Moving forward
Councilwoman Markey Butler kept her comments brief, saying that she hopes with this application, Related will submit a framework of its plans for the future.
Romero did tell the room that his company has two letters of intent from companies that would be "major players" in the new master plan. He also said his company will likely propose transforming Lot 3 from condo units to a vacation-club building and Lot 2 from condos to fractional residences.
Councilman Chris Jacobson asked Romero how he should judge whether Related's application would be good for the community.
"You have a baseline condition called the status quo to measure it from," Romero said. "And I think we collectively … are all at a point where we recognize status quo's not working."
Jacobson also asked why construction had not begun on the second phase of the Viceroy, approved last fall.
That comes down to "supply and demand," Romero said. Related is still selling residences in the existing Viceroy building.
"Why on God's green earth build something that competes with the existing inventory that you have?" Romero said.
At the end of the meeting, Mayor Bill Boineau asked the Town Council members if they felt Related should start work on a plan.
"I think it's imperative," Councilman Fred Kucker said.
Romero said his team felt comfortable beginning work with the information they had.

The stuffed zucchini was just marvelous! It looked so good coming out of the oven I burnt myself because I didn't wait long enough for it to cool. I made way too much of the filling because there weren't very many zucchini's at the grocery store. Tomorrow night I'm going to use them in a pasta primavera or something. Anyways, very delicious and easy to make!

The Virtus Multi-Strategy Target Return Fund seeks growth with less volatility than global equities over rolling three-year periods, utilizing a target return approach that draws from a global opportunity set across traditional and non-traditional asset classes.
Aviva Investors Americas LLC (AIA) is the named subadviser to the Virtus Multi-Strategy Target Return Fund and utilizes the services of Aviva Investors Global Services Limited (AIGSL) and its other affiliates (collectively, Aviva Investors) to manage the Fund. These affiliates are Participating Affiliates as that term is used in relief granted by the SEC. The listed investment professionals are associated with AIGSL.
Virtus Multi-Strategy Target Return Fund
The second quarter started with risk assets extending their gains from the mid-February lows, and ended with a dramatic spike in volatility, large currency moves, and a flight to safety market environment triggered by the U.K.'s June 23 Brexit decision to leave the European Union.
The Fund remained on track with its aim of managing volatility to a target of less than half that of global equities.
The greatest drivers to the Fund's performance in the quarter were credit and currency-based strategies.
The performance of risk assets generally improved in the beginning of the second quarter, extending their gains from the mid-February lows. Financial market advancement coincided with positive economic data flowing from China, which benefited from the country's recommitment to growth announced earlier in the year. Elsewhere, manufacturing data were constructive in emerging and developed countries alike. These events contributed to a rally in commodity prices.
Midway through the quarter, Federal Reserve rate hike expectations were repriced into the market. Ultimately, the U.S. dollar delivered a strong recovery which adversely impacted emerging market currencies and debt. Also through the middle of the quarter, modest growth in the eurozone was supported by stable progress in Germany and France, while Japan continued to struggle with a deteriorating inflation outlook.
The tail end of Q2 2016 was overwhelmingly dominated by the EU referendum and subsequent decision by the U.K. to separate from the 28-state union. This June 23 decision resulted in a dramatic spike in volatility, large currency moves, and a flight to safety market environment.
The Fund returned -0.10% (Class A NAV) for the second quarter, which compares to 0.07% for the U.S. Treasury federal funds rate. Since inception on July 20, 2015, the Fund has observed an annualized volatility of 3.89% compared to 15.41% for the MSCI ACWI (local currency).
The greatest drivers to the Fund's performance in the quarter were credit and currency-based strategies. Of particular significance, our long Australian and Korean rates strategies, as well as long positions in U.S. high yield credit and commercial mortgage-backed securities were all strong performers. Notable strategies that detracted from the Fund's performance included our short German 10-year bund position and long equity exposure to Europe. Over the course of the last three months, we have selectively added to the overall risk of the portfolio, however, the Fund is constructed with a diversity of themes designed to deliver returns under a range of scenarios.
April —The Fund delivered a positive return as market sentiment stabilized. Prior changes in the Fund, which reflect our anticipation for prolonged accommodative monetary policy and global reflation, added to performance. Notably, exposure to Japanese and European stocks, as well as European and US inflation, were positive drivers. Our exposure to the US dollar, reduced compared to the beginning of the year, detracted modestly to offset the returns of various profitable equity and credit strategies. In April, we added a strategy to benefit from a steepening in the US yield curve.
May —The Fund was broadly flat in May. Duration-based and long inflation strategies detracted from performance as the portfolio experienced gains in equities and our long US dollar position. Aggregate portfolio risk was increased during May through exposure to global stocks. Additionally, the portfolio management team initiated a trade to short the Canadian dollar against the US dollar and a long Korean government bond strategy. We expect these strategies to support the performance of the portfolio should markets experience an increase in global risk-aversion.
June — June proved to be a challenging month for the Fund. A number of risk-reducing strategies, as well as exposure to equities via options, served to dampen losses during a volatile month, but not enough to prevent a small loss in the portfolio. Many of the gains were defensive in nature, such as volatility strategies, while detractors were largely our broad equity exposure. Government bond positions in Poland and South Africa were added to the Fund as well as an increase in exposure to emerging market stocks. Also added was a strategy designed to benefit from our negative outlook on European financials credit, in the event of continued stress in that sector of the credit market.
The most significant event for global markets leading up to June 23 was undoubtedly the outcome of the U.K. referendum. The vote to leave the EU came as a surprise to most, with opinion polls and betting agencies having had the odds in favor of remain in the days leading up to the vote. As such, the modest risk rally into June 23 rapidly reversed, with sterling assets hit hardest. The effect was felt across global markets, with equities selling off sharply and a flight to quality driving global government bonds yields lower and the U.S. dollar higher. The conclusion of this event provides an unambiguous reminder that nobody can predict the future.
The uncertainty facing the U.K. will continue as political changes are developing. We believe that the uncertainty created by the decision to leave the EU is enough to thrust the U.K. into a mild recession. Our central scenario is that the Bank of England will intervene, most likely by lowering interest rates and participating in asset purchases, but this will not be adequate enough to counteract adverse consumer sentiment and subsequent fall in business investment. Ultimately, this leaves the British pound vulnerable and likely to decline.
The U.S. economy has shown signs of resilience, albeit growth has been at a moderate pace. We expect the U.S. economy to continue growing at a healthy rate, supported by household consumer spending with tighter labor markets and rising inflation. Additionally, recent positive manufacturing survey data reinforces our conviction and alleviates some of the concerns deriving from the previous month's non-farm payroll figure.
In the eurozone, manufacturing has recently surprised to the upside. Germany and Italy experienced the most meaningful increases whereas France has failed to keep pace. Consumer sentiment continues to improve within the region accompanied by a decline in unemployment. Inflation in the region is now decisively positive as recent headline readings ascended towards core inflation. We trust that the European Central Bank will continue with accommodative monetary policy and might consider extending their QE program. This course of action should benefit European equities and drive inflation higher.
We maintain that if properly managed, China's efforts committed towards growth will be sufficient in preventing a "hard landing." Consequently, we envision a gradual rebase lower for their currency. Elsewhere in Asia, Japan has endured a strengthening yen and successive deterioration in inflation. However, as Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has attained a majority after the Upper House election, we believe that he should be able to proceed with constitutional reform and implement a coordinated fiscal and monetary response.
Benchmark since inception performance is reported from 7/31/2015.
Class A operating expenses are 1.80% and gross operating expenses are 2.26%. Operating expenses reflect a contractual expense reimbursement in effect through 2/28/2017.
Average annual total returns reflect the change in share price and the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. Net Asset Value (NAV) returns do not reflect the deduction of any sales charges. POP (Public Offering Price) performance reflects the deduction of the maximum sales charge of 5.75%. A contingent deferred sales charge of 1% may be imposed on certain redemptions within 18 months on purchases on which a finder's fee has been paid.

The portfolio managers utilize derivatives to implement the majority of the fund's investment strategies. Considering each investment strategy's contribution to overall risk may present a clearer picture of how the fund is positioned relative to each investment's market value. Risk is defined as volatility, as calculated by FinAnalytica, and is a one month annualized standard deviation, which measures dispersion of returns. It may not be indicative of future risk, and is not a predictor of returns.

Fund Risks
Equity Securities: The market price of equity securities may be adversely affected by financial market, industry, or issuer-specific events. Focus on a particular style or on small or medium-sized companies may enhance that risk.
Foreign & Emerging Markets: Investing internationally, especially in emerging markets, involves additional risks such as currency, political, accounting, economic, and market risk.
Credit & Interest: Debt securities are subject to various risks, the most prominent of which are credit and interest rate risk. The issuer of a debt security may fail to make interest and/or principal payments. Values of debt securities may rise or fall in response to changes in interest rates, and this risk may be enhanced with longer-term maturities.
High Yield-High Risk Fixed Income Securities: There is a greater level of credit risk and price volatility involved with high yield securities than investment grade securities.
Derivatives: Investments in derivatives such as futures, options, forwards, and swaps may increase volatility or cause a loss greater than the principal investment.
Leverage: When a fund leverages its portfolio, the value of its shares may be more volatile and all other risks may be compounded.
Counterparties: There is risk that a party upon whom the fund relies to complete a transaction will default.
Portfolio Turnover: The fund's principal investments strategies will result in a consistently high portfolio turnover rate. A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account.
Prospectus: For additional information on risks, please see the fund's prospectus.

Sylt Things to Do
Winter Beach Walks
Is there any better way to recharge one's batteries than a walk along a beach? I doubt it! Fortunately, Sylt offers plenty of opportunities to do that.

The former amounts to some 4km, the...more

Uwedüne is conveniently located in the middle of the island, in the very posh village of Kampen.

Good food, friendly staff, nice...
Keitum is a rather posh place, so we found it nice to come across a restaurant that didn't look as though it would suck dry my credit card. Sünhair seemed friendly, cosy and most of all warm and dry - it had just started to rain again, and the wind was picking up as well. So in we went. The interior reminded us more of a bar than of a restaurant,...more
If you're in a need for meat...
If, after a long day on the beach, meat is all you're craving for, then "Dalmatien" is the place for you to be. Its dishes are officially Mediterranean, but the menu almost exclusively features Balkan cuisine, i.e. mixed grills, steaks, meat chops etc. A lighter Mediterranean meal is nowhere to be found. This is not to say that their food is bad -...more

Ferry to Rømø in Denmark from Sylt
To get to the nearby Danish island Rømø , you have to take the ferry. It leaves from List on the northern end of Sylt, and arrives at the town of Havneby on Rømø. It leaves about every 1½ hour, and the trip takes 30 minutes. It is possible to bring your car, but I think the best way to explore Rømø is by bicycle. For a return ticket the fare is...more

Biking on Sylt
Sylt is ideal to get around on bicycle. We brought our own bikes on the ferry, but we saw places, that rented out bikes. We started out in List and then went to Kampen, from where we vent back to List. We wanted to go to Westerland, but thought it was to long a ride. On the way back we noticed that the bus had a box on the back, where you could put...more
Sylt Shopping
A very well-assorted book shop
Bücherdeele is an appealing little bookshop in Keitum. It doesn't really fit into this village as Keitum is rather posh and snobby and Bücherdeele is lovable and cosy. I was surprised at the huge range of books on offer. Not only does Bücherdeele sell German books, it also focuses on international authors, e.g. Russians and Japanese. Some English...more

Lafayette Café and Bar in List was our refuge on a cold and stormy day. We had just hiked for some 10km and were hungry, so we thought we'd pop in and get some warm-up-food, i.e. apple strudel and Belgian waffles. The strudel seemed to consist of candy with lots of artificial sweet flavours while the waffles were not the slightest bit sweet and...more

Sylt What to Pack
Wellies might be useful
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Wellies will come in handy if you plan to go for a winter walk on the beach. Sylt's western beaches are exclusively composed of fine sand which will sneak into regular shoes very quickly. In winter it will also be too cold to walk barefooted (although we saw one family father doing just that!). In summer, there are guided Wadden Sea walking tours for which you will definitely need wellies. In case you don't have any, most of the shops in Westerland's pedestrian zone sell them.Related to:

A spokeswoman for Valley Baptist Medical Center in Harlingen says 76-year-old Tiburcio Ramirez of San Benito was in good condition Friday.
The victim's daughter, Claina Gonzalez, told the Valley Morning Star that Ramirez was attacked Thursday morning. Officials estimate the man was stung at least 220 times. Emergency personnel used soapy water on Ramirez to help get rid of the bees before transporting him to a hospital.
Gonzalez says her mother was stung dozens of times trying to help. She declined treatment. Gonzalez says the family dog died of bee stings in the same attack.

@ Remi, Code Red R2 9.0 and 8.3
Hi Remi, me again ....
it is good to hear that we can use RDM masts with the smaler sizes. What about using a 490 RDM on the 9.0?
Is there a big difference between the 7.7 and the 8.3. I loved the SSR 7,6 an even the Code Red in 7.7 and i need something to to slalom in 10 ktn an up on my ISonic 133. So I??ve to decide 8.3, 9.0 or something like the Overdrive (8.5 oder will there be a 9.0 too).
Best Regards an many thanks for helping me
RE: @ Remi, Code Red R2 9.0 and 8.3
Hi Holger,
The best size for this board are Code Red 9 and 10m.
I never try a RDM 490 and we do not have this in our mast range.
The 9 m work very well with the Red Line SDM 490 + 30cm tip extender. Same with the 10m. Last week I win with that board with the 10 m with SL2 52 in 10 to 15 knots.
All the best
RE: @ Remi, Code Red R2 9.0 and 8.3
Hi Holger
We don't recommend the skinny mast as the first option for the Code Red II. We found that the sail perform better all round with our Severne Red line masts and 370, 400 Blue line masts (for the smaller sizes)
We have a cam conversion package for those that still like to use the Code Red II sails with skinny masts, from 6.7 and down to 4.6. Speed sailors like the use of skinny mast for less drag.
For your Isonis 133 we would recommend the Code Red II 9.0. This sail is just flying - you wont be disappointed. Use the 490 Severne Red line with 30 cm tip extension, as Remi pointed out.
You can upgrade to the Code Red II 7.7 or keep your current Code Red 7.7, which you like so much. The new one has better low end.
RE: @ Remi, Code Red R2 9.0 and 8.3
Hi Remi, hi Jesper,
ok, very helpfull, so I will stay on Red Line Masts. Jesper is ist nessesary to use the new 490 with tip extension oer would the 490 from 06 work as well?
And what about the Overdrive, can you compare them with the Code Red and will there be a 9.0 as well?
All the Best Holger
RE: @ Remi, Code Red R2 9.0 and 8.3
Hi Holger,
Their is no modification from 06 to 07 mast, we just made a special tip extension to increase the perfomance of the Code Red.
We do not have a 9 m in the Overdrive range : 8,5 and 10m are the closser size.
I recomand you as Jesper the new Code Red 9m, it's really fast sail and really easy and feel realy light in your hand. A nother very good positive point, the cams rotate extremely easy, so win a lot of time at the jibes.
All the best
RE: @ Remi, Code Red R2 9.0 and 8.3
Hi Remi,
last year the Boom cut out on the 9.0 was very high, nearly a formula shape, is this changed in 07?
All the best Holger
RE: @ Remi, Code Red R2 9.0 and 8.3
Hi Holger
The 9.0 Code Red R2 has the same boom cut out as last year model.

IT'S a natural reaction. When an out-of-towner criticizes Toledo, the initial response is to raise the drawbridge, pull the municipal wagons into a circle - to mix our metaphors - and bluster about how the naysayer has no clue what he's talking about.
That was the expected response from some local political and business leaders after David Gergen, former consultant to four U.S. presidents and currently a professor at Harvard University, commented on our city.
In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, he talked about the impact of globalization on northern Ohio, and said: "I was in Toledo 10 days ago, and it's like, 'Whoa, it looks like a war zone.' "
The comment by Mr. Gergen, who was here to speak at the Authors!Authors! series, was a generalization, of course. There are parts of our city, thanks to the efforts of successive administrations in city hall, of businesses, and of residents, that can stand with any town in terms of architecture, public spaces, or public art.
But there's the other Toledo, too. The vacant, glass- and debris-strewn lots, the dilapidated buildings, the vacant industrial sites.
While we laud the construction of the magnificent new Jeep plant and the Museum of Art's Glass Pavilion, we need to recognize blight elsewhere. Unless we face the reality of today's challenges and failings, Toledo cannot move forward.
Thirty years ago Toledo was prosperous. Downtown bustled. Our manufacturing economy was humming. But as the economic landscape changed, Toledo failed to change with it. The city retained a faith in industrial jobs, the good-paying jobs that had supported families for generations.
It was, of course, a false hope.
Smokestacks fell and Toledo was slow to pursue tech-based companies for a new century. The city did not diversify its economy. As a result it fell behind other communities more nimble and better able to adapt. So we are left with barren open spaces and abandoned manufacturing plants.
We don't like folks from elsewhere pointing out our faults. But that shouldn't blind us to the truth they sometimes tell.

Conservationists, DNR spar over use of old Badger ammo plant
Baraboo - Conservationists who want land near Baraboo to be used for quiet activities are angry that the state might use it for motorcycle trails or shooting ranges.
The state Department of Natural Resources is in the process of deciding what to do with the 7,300 acres on the site of the now-defunct Badger Army Ammunition Plant. A plan approved in 2001 called for the property to be used for activities such as agriculture, hiking and bird-watching, but the agency said it has to consider whether conditions have changed in the past 12 years.
The plan in question was approved by the Sauk County Board in May 2001. It called for the land to be used for conservation, education and agriculture, as well as low-impact recreation, such as hiking and bird-watching.
The panel that created the plan included members of local governments, the DNR, residents and representatives of the Ho-Chunk Nation. The group was formed to guide the discussion about land use toward mostly low-impact activities, especially restoration of prairie and oak savanna and protection of habitat for increasingly rare grassland bird species.
At a meeting of the Natural Resources Board on Wednesday members of the Sauk Prairie Conservation Alliance said the DNR's proposals for more high-impact recreation runs counter to the plan.
"We believe that reuse plan is as relevant now as it was in 2001," said David Tremble, the alliance's president. The group presented a petition that it said was signed by nearly 1,300 people who support low-key uses for the land.
But DNR regional director Mark Aquino said the reuse plan was just a "guidance document."
"Their task was to develop a common vision," Aquino said of the committee that developed the plan. "Since it is 12 years old and because our planning process requires us to have other involvement, we have to see whether conditions and desires now are sufficiently different."
The DNR will issue three alternatives this summer and hold open houses and public hearings to gather comment on the plans, he said. The three scenarios range from a plan focused on conservation and quiet activity to one that emphasizes more high-intensity recreation.
Aquino said the agency already received 388 comments during a public comment period that ended last winter. Although a list of those comments on the DNR website shows that many favored conservation and low-impact recreation, Aquino said the final decision on which plan to recommend doesn't necessarily rest on how many people favor a particular use.
"This isn't a vote process," Aquino said. "The public input is only one part of what we consider."
Another point to consider is which recreational opportunities are underrepresented, he said. He noted, for example, that the Wisconsin ATV Association has been telling the Natural Resources Board for years that ATV users have too few recreational options in southern parts of the state.
Randy Harden, president of the ATV Association, said one possibility is to set aside a 500-acre area with 20 miles of trails.
"So many people have to travel so far north," Harden said. "And a lot of our ATV owners are in the south."
But Mimi Wuest, a member of the Conservation Alliance, said including such disruptive uses would mean losing out on a rare opportunity to protect and restore the landscape.
"In our hands now is the opportunity to return 7,000 acres of Wisconsin to a healthy and sustainable living community," Wuest said. "Let us see beyond special interests and short-term gains and make an immeasurable gift to the future. No one will ever have this chance again."

Overnight fire damages St. Alphonsus Church in Greendale
Greendale - On a normal Christmas Day, Father Alan Jurkus would deliver a spirited homily inside St. Alphonsus Catholic Church.
But Sunday, Jurkus was in the parking lot telling parishioners that two morning Masses were canceled because of a fire overnight that caused smoke and water damage in the church. No one was injured.
"We'll be in business next week," Jurkus assured one parishioner. "We'll have a new decorating committee."
The fire broke out about 12:30 a.m. Sunday inside the church, 6060 W. Loomis Road, according to the Greendale Fire Department.
The state fire marshal's office was at the scene Sunday morning investigating the cause.
The church held a Mass at 10 p.m. Saturday, and that would have been the last event inside the church until Sunday morning.
Eight fire departments and a total of 60 firefighters responded to the scene, spending about eight hours to extinguish the fire and handle smoke damage, Greendale fire Lt. Brian Peterson said.
Jurkus said the church's business manager notified him of the fire at 1 a.m. and two hours later told him to come to the facility because the blaze was "really bad."
Jurkus said the fire "was all in the back sacristy where a lot of decorations are stored. It's just a mess. There's a vacuum cleaner that is a pile of plastic and metal, that's how intense the heat was."
"We had new camels for the Epiphany and the Three Kings, the wise men," Jurkus said. "Now, they're toast."
The two morning Masses on Christmas each usually draw crowds in excess of 1,000. Many, though, apparently heard about the fire via news broadcasts, online news reports and social media.
"It's amazing how very quickly the word gets out," Jurkus said.
Those who had not heard of the fire soon learned of it when they drove to the parking lot and were met by Jurkus and Jim Leggett, a deacon.
Some people offered to help clean up but were told a restoration and remediation crew was already on site.
"We're really sorry, Merry Christmas," one parishioner told Jurkus.
The Fire Department and the state fire marshal's office are expected to release additional details Monday.
Meg Jones of the Journal Sentinel staff contributed to this report.
