As I have written in a couple of recent posts (here, here and here), life has been a bit hectic recently. I have been feeling like I am having science withdrawal symptoms. Last week, I have finally received an offer for a new position that I have accepted. For the last 4 years, while I absolutely loved my job, it took me over 1.5 hours to commute in each direction. I wasn't the favorite part of my day and took a lot of valuable time away from my work, family and personal life. Not to mention NeuroBead. Continue Reading
Left brain, right brain and dyslexia
In my recent posts I described how my work at NeuroBead has taken an unexpected turn towards raising patient awareness, rather than just portraying scientific progress. Soon after finishing my work on "The Internal Storm" epilepsy project, I was contacted by a former collaborator I knew from an entrepreneurial initiative that I was involved in during my postdoctoral training. After seeing my artwork being used for raising epilepsy awareness, she asked if I would be willing to make a dyslexia pin. Continue Reading
The many faces of sciart
Two weeks ago I attended a very interesting art exhibit entitled "EmBodied". It was organized by the SciArt Center that I have written about in an earlier post. I came across it by accident, but just in time to make it to the opening reception. Incidentally, as I was approaching the gallery, the following sign caught my eye. It gave me a pretty good laugh, considering where I was heading. Continue Reading
"The Internal Storm"
Last week I wrote about a slightly unexpected turn that my work has taken. I have been posting pictures of my work in progress and finished pieces on Instagram, where I found quite a few of like-minded individuals. Most of these people are trained as scientists and want to share the beauty of what they are doing with the rest of the world. But as would probably be expected, most of this work gets noticed and appreciated by people who do something similar themselves – other scientists and artists. Continue Reading
Bridging science, art and society
Last year, when I founded NeuroBead, I based it on the idea that scientists like myself would want to see beautiful images from their research commemorated as pieces of art, that they could display on their walls. Many academic institutions, especially neuroscience departments, decorate their hallways with enlarged photos of cells that were taken under a microscope. These images are both gorgeous to look at and representative of the great scientific discoveries achieved by the researchers. They deserve to be preserved and remembered. Many departments and microscopy facilities even send out calls for best image competitions. I wanted to take this process one step further and portray this integration of science and visual art in a more creative form. Continue Reading
The dichotomy of art and science
I have to admit, I have not been here in a while. Life has been a bit hectic. Every time I thought about writing, the same topic came to mind – the dichotomy of art and science. I have written before about how science and art are considered to be at the polar opposite ends of the spectrum of logic and creativity. How can they live in harmony in one person? The word "harmony" reminds me of how I have also written about the concept of "flow" described by the Hungarian psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. At that point I have not read the book "Flow" yet, and was only basing my writing on the descriptions of flow I was able to find online. Based on these descriptions, I was reaching the ultimate state of flow while working on my beadwork. Continue Reading
Red Blood Cell – hair clip # 4
It has been a while since I have given an update on my beadwork. While I was working on the hair clips I have described in my previous posts here, here and here, my older daughter suggested a new idea. She has all of the symptoms of a child raised by scientists. Her most recent writing project in school focused on explaining how vaccines work! She has been fascinated with our "Bring your kid to work day" and has tried doing some simple experiments in museums and at home. She has also admired my artwork and has tried to get involved.
So when she saw me making biological hair clips in the form of cells,she requested a Red Blood Cell! Red blood cells are unique in that unlike all other cells they do not have a nucleus and have a slightly "pinched" morphology. They are responsible for carrying oxygen through our blood stream.
Here is a little bit of behind the process and how the clip turned out. I love the simple elegance that it projects!

Savory Deviled Eggs
Recipe by Jenny BIL
I've never been a fan of the traditional "sweet relish" Deviled Eggs, so I created this recipe over the years. They have a nice savory flavor that's always a big hit. I bring them to all kinds of gatherings - potlucks, work parties, block parties and the like. I generally garnish them with whatever's on hand - capers, olives, pimentos, chives. Once I brought them to a Halloween party and dressed them up using capers for eyes, pimento for a mouth, and chives for horns - they truly were Deviled Eggs! One tip: placing the eggs on a cloth napkin covered platter keeps the slippery buggers from sliding all over the place and it adds a nice, festive touch.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 dozen egg, hard-boiled and shelled
- 1⁄4 cup mayonnaise
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika
- 1⁄2 teaspoon celery salt
- pepper, to taste
- 1 -2 dash Worcestershire sauce
Directions See How It's Made
- Cut eggs lengthwise and put yolks in a food processor.
- Add Mayo, Dry Mustard, Paprika, Celery Salt, Pepper and Worcestershire Sauce to food processor and process until mixture is nice and creamy, adjusting the Mayonnaise as necessary and scraping down the sides of the food processor a couple of times to make sure everything is uniformly mixed.
- Place mixture from food processor in a resealable bag, snip off small piece of bag corner, and pipe into egg white sections.
- Garnish eggs as desired - capers, green and/or black olives, pimento, herbs, paprika.

Issue Position: Agriculture
Rural communities are the backbone of our state, and agriculture is the backbone of rural communities. That's why I believe there is little of greater importance to our state than the health of our farms, ranches and agricultural communities.
As Governor I will:
* Promote farm cooperatives of all kinds.
Farm cooperatives can be useful tools for everything from purchasing fuel and fertilizer at bulk prices to retaining local ownership of wind farm projects. I will put a 21st century twist on this age old practice, by starting a Web site to make it easier than ever for farmers to find each other and start a cooperative.
* Open new markets.
A Mathern administration will be a friend of farmers in finding new markets for their products. This means everything from more trade missions to foreign countries to the promotion of niche, high-margin farming areas, such as organic crops and livestock.
* Promote a strategic fuel reserve.
Over the last few years, North Dakota farmers have faced the daunting possibility of going into harvest season with not enough fuel available for purchase at any price. I will solve this problem by creating a strategic fuel reserve that will let farmers sleep easy during talk of a shortage, and make sure many valuable acres don't rot in the field if there's an actual shortage.

Best Laptops: Q2 2017by Brett Howse on 6/2/2017 7:00 AM EST

iCruiser - Friday, June 02, 2017 - linkWhere's the review for the new MacBook Pro? Reply
tipoo - Friday, June 02, 2017 - linkMini review -
I actually had the UX330CA within a return window, I think they're identical apart from the CA using fanless Core M processors.
My first impression was, well, 'quartz grey' means more of a pink in Asus world, lol. Some people have said it's so slight it's hard to notice – I don't agree, it's definitely decidedly pink and not grey, even if it's a light pink. A non-issue for some, some will like it, it's a bit too toyish for my liking. Also only the display rear is metal, the chassis below is plastic with metal specks.
But, bigger issue for me, the trackpad. Granted, I did come from a Macbook, but I've read a lot about microsoft precision trackpads and how much better they were than others, so I'm not sure if it's the Precision trackpad or the hardware Asus chose for it, but I don't find it all that great. Scrolling feels laggy and motion doesn't reflect your fingers well, and both that and pointing can't seem to distinguish involuntary hand movement we all have from intended motion, making fine detail movement a pain. There were several moments where clicking down made the cursor fly off from where you were pointing.
Also the fingerprint reader integrated into the trackpad is better in theory than in practice, got in the way a few times.
Keyboard action is fine to good, with just a few layout gripes I could get used to. The screen is decent but marred by an overly grainy antiglare film. This is an issue I think when the grain size is larger than the pixel size and light comes out hazy?
It's also possible there are different screen makers, I forget which one but one of the big three is known for overly aggressive antiglare iirc.
The screen hinge was very loose, picking it up and moving it would make it move from a set position. Bottom firing speakers were just passable but like any bottom firers, would get quieter on a soft surface or no surface.
Unsurprisingly, went back for me. It's good for the asking price and I'd keep it in mind for budget ultrabook shoppers, but for me I wanted something a bit more upmarket. Reply
skavi - Friday, June 02, 2017 - linkAsus makes pretty shitty Precision trackpads. Microsoft's and Dell's trackpads are a much closer match to Apple's, but still don't quite get there. Reply
tipoo - Friday, June 02, 2017 - link
Good to know. I was wondering if they were all similar, or some were still better than others despite the software side being handled by MS. Reply
neogodless - Friday, June 02, 2017 - linkI'm guessing from this article that I'm weird, but I simply won't buy a laptop with less than a 17" screen. Are they so unpopular that they don't deserve a category in this collection?
I mean, obviously you have to pick some (arbitrary-ish) limits since you could easily go for "best ultrabook for gaming, best ultrabook for travel/business, best DTR for gaming, best mid-range detachable for playing MineCraft, etc." and you have to limit to a few categories. But I'd love to see the bigger laptops celebrated more. They are quickly becoming my primary go to device as they close the gaps with desktop performance. (Core i7 dual-core chips notwithstanding....) Reply
xype - Friday, June 02, 2017 - link17" is great for working if you don't need to lug your laptop around much. A lot of people prefer thin/smaller/lighter for day to day carrying. I live in Adobe's ecosystem and 15" is kinda the sweet spot, 17" would be nice but no MBP in that range and when I had one it got tedious after a while. The majority of the market, though? 12-13" is what people seem happy enough with as it gives them benefits if battery life and portability. Reply
Dribble - Friday, June 02, 2017 - linkBut not everyone needs to lug their laptop around every day. The 17's have much more screen space, and more powerful cpu/graphics/cooling. Hence when not moving are just better. Yet they are still laptops - so work unplugged, or at least can be moved and plugged in somewhere else easily. Great if you want to use it at the kitchen table, and move it out the way for dinner, or later plug it into the big tv to game.
They certainly have a place. Reply
vanilla_gorilla - Friday, June 02, 2017 - linkMost people don't need anywhere near that screen size or horsepower for those use cases. Almost no one games on their TV and if they do they have a PC with a real dedicated GPU, most more powerful than what you'll find in any 17" laptop. Reply
DanNeely - Friday, June 02, 2017 - linkExcluding big GPUs for gaming/workstation models cooling is a more or less moot point in 15 vs 17" models; other decisions (eg thickness and fan volume) are much more important; and gaming laptops are a very small segment of the total market. And if it's going to be fixed in location 90% of the time you might as well plug in a 22-27" external screen as your primary display.
PS In previous Best XXX roundups, Anandtech has often done gaming laptops separately from mainstream ones. Assuming it's up next the Best Gaming Laptops article should have 1 or more 17" models. Reply
bigboxes - Saturday, June 03, 2017 - linkIt's all about portability and battery life. If those aren't important to you then get a desktop. If you have to occasionally take your whole system with you and your phablet is not enough then just get you a monitor and you'll never have to look at that tiny 17" screen again. Reply
neogodless - Monday, June 05, 2017 - linkThere are slightly more people buying laptops than, say... you.
I care about portability in that I want to be able to sit my living room while my wife watches TV, and get work done. How would I do that with a desktop? Just pick it all up and set it up in the middle of the living room? No. The size of the screen is important, but 17" in your lap isn't terribly tiny, and it's certainly a huge upgrade from the 13" screens that are becoming popular (because of "portability" i.e. I don't want a heavy backpack or case to carry around.) I really can't imagine a life where you move a desktop and 22"+ monitor around! Especially if 17" is tiny, so we must be talking about, what, 27"? 34"?
I just can't follow this simplistic decision-making tree. It's got glaring issues. Reply
DanNeely - Friday, June 02, 2017 - linkI think they are. Other than massive gaming laptops I don't think I've seen a 17" in retail for years; and anecdotally the 13.3" ultrabook seems to be displacing 15.6" and thick enough for a optical drive laptop as the baseline cheap choice.
Just looking at a single OEM, under (mainstream) laptops Dell's only offering the 17" form factor in the Inspiron brand now. I know they used to have Latitude and XPS laptops with 17" screens. There're still Alienware and Precision 17" models, but you have to go to the gaming and workstation categories to find them. Reply
vanilla_gorilla - Friday, June 02, 2017 - link17" screen is too small to replace my desktop and 17" is too heavy to carry around. Very small market segment. Reply
neogodless - Monday, June 05, 2017 - linkI think 17" is "mostly sufficient" to replace a desktop in a lot of scenarios. And I also think 6 lbs is "mostly fine" for carrying around your living room and occasional travel. If it's a work machine, ideally the screen size "doesn't matter" because you can connect a screen at home and certainly at the office. But I guess it seems odd that I'm the only person that wants to actually use it on my lap, at home, in a room where there other people, rather than hiding behind a desk. And for sitting on my lap, I find it so much better for getting things done (and playing the occasional game) than a smaller machine. Reply
kmmatney - Monday, June 05, 2017 - linkI've been using 17" laptops for the last 10 years - plugged into a 24" monitor at home/work, but also big enough to do real work when I'm traveling, or just want to work on the couch. I have to buy a Dell for work, and the only real option for me now is a 9.7" Alienware - I don't think that will fly too well at work. The 17" Inspirons don't have real core 8-thread Core i7, so not an option for me. Reply
BrokenCrayons - Friday, June 02, 2017 - linkIt seems a bit too early to recommend the Surface Laptop unless AT has already gotten a unit in for review and is just waiting for the embargo to end. Reply
Ruimanalmeida - Friday, June 02, 2017 - linkIt seems that this laptop quarter summary is targeted to those that generally don't read anandtech site. Seems more a generalist review for a newcomer. Doesn't present newer models (just to enter market) or those focused on specific markets. I start to think that is not a kind of topic to enter Anadtech. Reply
DanNeely - Friday, June 02, 2017 - linkIt's limited to models someone at Anandtech has been at least hands on with. Normally they've been reviewed by the site; unless it's in progress and under NDA the Surface Book's a bit of an anomaly in that it's something they'd've only had a brief tradeshow/event session to look at it. Off hand I can't think of anything else that they've recommended as laptop that hasn't been reviewed first.
Never been hands on will never make the list here because of problems with keyboards and trackpads that are only noticeable when hands on.
As for other market segments: Gaming laptops will probably be a separate article in a week or two; I don't think enough of the business equivalent to gaming laptops pass the review desks here to support an article here. Reply
mike_bike_kite - Saturday, June 03, 2017 - linkIt seems strange to me that you're recommending the old HP envy 13 when a new model with infinity display etc is coming out this month. Reply
Donkey2008 - Saturday, June 03, 2017 - linkI am very puzzled why the Lenovo P51 is not on their list of 15.6" laptops. I have been around Dell, HP and Lenovo laptops my entire career and the Lenovo P51 is easily the best workstation laptop that I have ever used. It was around $2,300 for a Xeon E3-1505M with 16GB of DDR4, a Samsung 500GB M.2 drive (fastest SSD I have ever tested on atto) and a Nvidia Quadro M2200 (which plays Planetside 2 and Fallout 4 quite nicely I might add).
And no, I do not work for Lenovo, lol. I used Dell Precision laptops for years and they rocked, but the P50 and P51 laptops I have used for the past year blow away any other workstation laptop IMO. Reply
DanNeely - Monday, June 05, 2017 - linkLenovo hasn't provided a P51 to review yet (or if they have the review isn't done yet). Reply
brucek2 - Monday, June 05, 2017 - linkCan't cover everything in one article maybe, but it's probably worth at least a sentence to acknowledge the categories you're excluding like gaming laptops and desktop replacements.
Laptops at every price point are an exercise in tradeoffs. Not just in the big ticket items like performance, price, and mobility (size, weight, battery life), but also in the smaller details. It seems no choice gets them all right. Build quality, display quality, keyboard feel, trackpad usability, port selection, cooling effectiveness + noise, aesthetics, sound quality, and storage included (not just total capacity but which model sata vs nvme, performance can differ widely) should be part of any review. In a round up like this, a table showing which models are best for any given reader's priorities among those is probably among the biggest value adds and this article format doesn't make it easy to see that summary. Other publications do much better.
A final factor which is very important but is almost always missing in every review is the manufacturer's support policies. If there's a problem, how quickly can a reader expect to get back to a working laptop and at what price? and for how long after purchase? Reply
TheinsanegamerN - Wednesday, June 07, 2017 - linkall these great laptops, and 0 with iris 650.
Why does apple seem to be the only company that bothers to use them? I'd love an iris chip for a bit of on the go gaming. Reply

text: Second Quarter ResultsSecond quarter 2012 sales increased 14% over the prior year period to a record $166.5 million. This increase was driven by the acquisition of Micro Power, primarily Portable Medical, which added $21.3 million to sales, as well as a 16% increase in Vascular Access revenue and stronger than expected growth in our CRM product line. Second quarter results also included the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, which lowered Orthopaedic sales by approximately $3 million in comparison to the prior year. On an organic constant currency basis, sales for the second quarter increased 1% versus the prior year as the benefits described above were partially offset by continued weakness within our Orthopaedics product line. Gross profit was $51.9 million, or 31.2% of sales, in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $46.6 million, or 31.8% of sales for the comparable 2011 period. The increase in gross profit primarily resulted from the higher sales volumes discussed above. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales from the prior year was primarily due to price concessions made to our larger OEM customers, a higher mix of lower margin revenue, as well as production inefficiencies at our Swiss Orthopaedic facilities. As previously discussed, these operational issues are aggressively being addressed and should improve as the year progresses and into 2013. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased to $20.7 million, or 12.5% of sales, for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $17.6 million, or 12.0% of sales, for the same period of 2011. The majority of this increase can be attributed to the Company's recent acquisitions, which added $2.8 million to SG&A. Net research, development and engineering costs ("RD&E") for the 2012 second quarter were $14.2 million, compared to $11.3 million for the comparable 2011 period. Approximately $0.7 million of this increase was a result of the operations from our recent acquisitions. The remainder of this increase can be attributed to the investment in the development of complete medical devices which totaled $7.0 million for the 2012 second quarter compared to $5.6 million for 2011. These amounts include $1.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of design verification testing ("DVT") costs in connection with our development of a neuromodulation platform. For the second half of the year we anticipate that RD&E costs will be slightly lower than the first half as the Company begins to optimize its RD&E investment, which will be partially offset by an increased level of design verification testing.

Analysts optimistic about the future of Windows® Phone 7
With Android and iOS making up almost 90 percent of the mobile operating systems market, Windows Phone 7 is lagging far behind its competitors. According to an estimate, around 36 billion apps are expected to be downloaded by mobile device users in 2012. Out of this, only 2 percent are likely to be on the Windows Phone 7 platform. Android and iOS will make up for almost 83 percent of the software downloads on mobile devices.
However, ABI Research analyst Lim Shiyang is optimistic about the future of Windows Phone 7. According to him, "Although Windows Phone lags behind RIM's BlackBerry and even Nokia's Symbian, we shouldn't ignore the fact that the two percent that we forecast for 2012 would be twice the share the platform achieved last year". Shiyang believes that the delay in the global launch of Windows Phone Marketplace by Microsoft resulted in the loss of several potential customers.
According to another ABI Research analyst, Aapo Markkanen, "The arrival of the first Windows 8 tablets, as well as Windows Phone's upgrade to the Apollo iteration, should also give it a boost, since developers can reuse their code to launch on various screen sizes".

Southwest Airlines, which has long touted its low fares, has introduced a priority boarding option that lets passengers pay $40 for the privilege of early boarding. Southwest's move is part of the game plan that airlines of all stripes have eagerly embraced to earn more revenues by selling as 'extras' services that were until recently free.
Southwest's $40 priority boarding fee could mean that the number of passengers who get the coveted Group A boarding pass free of cost by checking in early will be fewer, to help the airline make more money.
Passengers with Group A boarding passes are the first to board Southwest flights.
Southwest customers with Business Select Fare tickets automatically get priority boarding.
It's not clear if Southwest will continue to offer the $10 EarlyBird Check-In option that customers can purchase at the time of booking the tickets. EarlyBird Check-In purchases usually guaranteed a Group A boarding pass.
Launched on January 21, 2013, Southwest's $40 priority boarding option will be offered only at the gate on the day of travel, starting 45 minutes before the flight departs.
The airline says it tested the new boarding option in San Diego in December 2012, and received positive feedback.
But that's a claim one should swallow with more than a pinch of salt. It's hard to believe passengers flying on a low fare airline will be happy to hand out $40 just for the privilege of boarding early.
Southwest passengers will hear an announcement in the gate area and can buy an available boarding position via credit card from the airline's customer service agent.

Why is SW so slow? I have it installed on server 2003 with 2g ram 3 GHz intel xeon processors
This topic was created during version 3.5.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

Hey Steve,
Are you talking about scans being slow or the whole interface? Have you tried connecting to the Admin page through other machines? Also, is it slow during scans only or all the time?
Feb 10, 2009 at 8:43 UTC
We have seen some slowdowns in the app in certain situations... I would like to get a better idea of where/what you are seeing slowdowns and also get your log files so we can get a better idea of where things are slowing down for you. We are working on improving performance with the newer versions of Rails and Ruby, but I know that doesn't help you at this moment. Send me a Private Message if you would like us to take a look and see where things are slowing down... You might also want to check your browser (memory usage)... sometimes that can cause big slowdowns as well... Another thing is the number of elements in a group... when opening a grou.
Feb 10, 2009 at 8:45 UTC
To Peter's point above, I was assuming you meant the interface. The duration of a scan is largely dependent on your network, firewalls, timeouts, etc... the interface (in the browser) is what I thought you were referring to?
Feb 10, 2009 at 11:30 UTC
Could you try doing the same "steps" in FF as well as IE? That might help us determine if it is a javascript problem or more of a core-app problem/issue... If you could elaborate a bit more on the actual steps that feel super-slow, that would be helpful as well.. Thanks...

Just an FYI. We have been using Spiceworks since about Aug-Sep. The interface has always been slow for the three of us that access it. We each have difference computers with different specs. We always used IE to browse. After reading through some of the posts here I tried accessing the interface with Chrome (Dunno why I never tried). OMG! What a difference! It's like night and day. It's now very usable and very responsive. No more waiting 10 seconds on each click in the inventory. I would suggest trying Chrome. Others here say FF works well also but I haven't tried that yet. Just curious why IE is soooooo sluggish???
Feb 10, 2009 at 1:55 UTC
Feb 10, 2009 at 6:29 UTC
FYI IE8 does seem quicker than IE7, but not as quick as Chrome. Just conducted quite a basic test by navigating from Dash to Inventory. IE8 was 4 seconds and Chrome was about 2 seconds. Oh and IE7 was 6 seconds!

Have to agree with the Chrome post, using IE7 slower than a drunk snail on crutches. Switched to Chrome no comparison, flies through the interface.

Im new to SW myself been using for 1 month and just recently started seeing the same issue that everyone is having. I am currently using Chrome and still see the slow down issues. But what I have noticed and I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this, is my SW seems to be slowing down mainly from when the new advertisments are being loaded from the right side of the interface.
I did a test, I clicked through several tickets while add was not being loaded and it breezed through pages with no problem average 1/2 sec to 1 sec between clicks. But as soon as the orange circle ad started loading it was 10-15 secs per page load during each ad changing.
I would think about purchasing your product for our Health Care Institute but I have no idea once I do buy it will still have this same effect. Can someone test my theory out?
Dec 11, 2009 at 11:32 UTC
I too am seeing EXTREMELY slow performance of the whole SW app.
We use Chrome, FireFox and IE7, ALL are slow...1-30 minutes of response time. We are running on a HP DL380, dual 3 GHZ proc, 3 GB RAM, WIN 2003 R2. It does not matter if they are on the same LAN segment or over the VPN/Remote Office.
Our SW installation is currently at 500mb, we have cleared the logs, run defrag. STILL SLOW...VERY SLOW.
It seems that the advertizements are slowing things down...most of the long wait are when Ads are updating.
Feb 9, 2010 at 6:29 UTC

I'm on 4.5 dual quad core Xeon server running 64 bit server 2003 with 8 GB memory installed. Response time from any part of the interface is anywhere between 10 and 30 seconds. I would love to use the fault reporting, the logging and tickets but cannot due to this speed issue. I have not even got to launch the helpdesk to my staff yet.
I have tried different browsers and controlling mcafee enterprise, but cannot get the speed I need. When we lost our internet connection the interface was quicker without the ads loading up, but not enough to be useable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as the product is extactly what small IT teams need but hampered by performance.

I also have the same problem, I am running version 4.6 on Windows 2003 R2 64bit with 4gb of Ram and 2-3Ghz processor with 4 cores each. This is the only application running on this box. The AV i have is Symantec Endpoint. I have tried other brwosers with the same result. I am using the exchange option to check email (Is that so wrong).
Let me know if anyone can help
Aug 30, 2010 at 11:50 UTC
I'm having similar issues with intermittent slow responsiveness, regardless of browser. I didn't install the software myself but would like to figure this out, I love the product with this one exception. If I could get some guidance on how to retrieve logs for research that would help.

The health care system managed to pare down to three qualified plans, a 403(b), a 401(k) and a multiple employer 401(k), according to Brad Weatherly, system director of retirement benefits at the firm. The number of nonqualified plans was reduced to seven. The 403(b) plan had just under $400 million in assets, but the employer match of 100% on up to 5% of deferrals goes into the 401(k), so some of those plan assets belong to the 403(b) participants.
Weatherly explains that, before the merger, Scott & White Healthcare had a 403(b) plan and Baylor Health Care System had a 401(k) plan. All participants are eligible for either. The company is contemplating a move to one plan type in the future.
Out of 46,000 total employees, 68% participate in the 403(b), deferring an average 7.38% of pay. Weatherly says everyone is in the 401(k) plan.
But what made the biggest difference for participants was a move from four recordkeepers to one. Weatherly says, with Empower Retirement, employees can track all of their plans on one site, and the organization is able to leverage its economies of scale to get low fees for participants.
The plan sponsor synced up the investment fund lineup for all plans and performed a re-enrollment into target-date funds (TDFs) for qualified plans. Participants in managed accounts or the self-directed brokerage account were not re-enrolled.
Many new tools have been made available to participants. The Lifetime Income Score on the Empower site shows how an individual's total balance will translate into monthly or annual retirement income. Participants can update their retirement income replacement rate goal, use a slider to show how saving more could multiply retirement income, and can factor in projected Social Security income. Besides including outside savings in the modeler, participants can estimate health care costs according to where they plan to live once retired.
Additionally, a peer comparison tool shows how a participant, on average, is doing in achieving his retirement income goals relative to others. On the website, participants can choose to automatically escalate their deferrals, including whether or not to make the jump coincide with annual raises. They can access investment help to answer general questions and get advice about investment allocations. Finally, a financial wellness offering, Me & My Money, offers education and calculators.
Because these tools were basically new to employees, the health system gave participants some time to get familiar with them. But Empower is now calculating stats on utilization and on changes participants made after using the tools. The health system plans to hold monthly presentations to further encourage tool use.
Weatherly says, under the managed account program, free advice is available from a tool for proper asset allocation, and participants can set up rebalancing annually, quarterly or monthly. The option offers asset allocation advice only; participants are not put into a managed account.
Employees may repay loans upon termination—an innovative offering for retirement plans. This option was added to the 403(b) plan upon conversion to Empower. Weatherly notes that the health care industry in general has high turnover—about 20% on average—and that at Baylor Scott & White, the turnover is a little less than the median. The organization has yet to track utilization of this option.
"In an industry where there will be a lot of mergers and acquisitions, people may leave. We need to be as flexible as we can with these loans, which can really have an impact on retirement security," Weatherly says. "We are passionate about doing no harm. Let's create a good experience when people are here, but also if they choose to leave." —Rebecca Moore

The picture above was taken on December 23, 1962. We see a young man, head shaven, skinny and weak, embracing his parents with all his strength. He was a stern, proud man, and tears weren't usually part of his repertoire. However right then, in that moment, he didn't really give a damn. He had been to Hell and back, and was just happy to be able to hold them again. Taken at Miami International Airport, this photo shows the moment when this man of eighteen was returned to his parents, after what must have been the most trying time of his young life. Just twenty months before, he, along with 1,400 of his compatriots, formed Brigade 2056, an exile force who took on the mission of leading their countrymen in a revolt against the Castro regime, an attempt to take the government back from the Communist oppressors who took so much from them. But, as fate would have it, the invasion was a disaster, and what became known as the "Bay of Pigs" went down in history as one of the CIA's biggest blunders.
He, like the others who were with him, was little more than an adolescent, just over seventeen when he left. They were ready to do anything, even give their lives, to take back the country where they had grown up, that they called home. Like he always said, when we asked about it later "We expected to die, but never to lose." But they did. Not only did they lose a battle, they lost a home. Never again would they see their hometowns, and many of their friends and family would be either left behind in Cuba or exiled all over the world. They had to live in a strange new land, starting a life with little more than the clothes on their backs and the few dollars they had in their pockets. Many of them were able to make their own way here, even live out their own versions of the American dream. This story isn't only that of the Cuban people. In one way or another, this is the tale of everyone who comes here, especially from Latin America. Whether it's political persecution, war, or economic strife, the story is largely the same: giving up your life, in the home you know and love, for some strange place, hoping against hope for the chance to give your children a better shot than you ever had.
This is Our VOXXI. Our parents, our grandparents, they were those people who gave up so much, sometimes everything they had, to try to make a better life for us. We were born here- I'm happy to call America home. We define what it really means to be Hispanic-Americans: although some of us (like myself) may never get to see the place our families came from, but there is no doubt in my mind that "Cubanismo" has had as much of an influence on my life as anything that I've experienced in the United States. The land that you come from is not what makes up your heritage- it's the people you are with, the cultural environment that your friends and family create around you, that are your true heritage, the real shaping forces that define the kind of person you will become. I'll admit it. I might not put as much emphasis on my Latin culture as I should. There's been many an eye-roll when one of my older relatives launches into a story about old Cuba that I just haven't heard enough times (it seems that every single family in pre-revolution Cuba had a massive farm and single-handedly controlled the government). But, as far as I've seen, this is a problem with a lot of our generation- Hell, one of my friends, with a name like Antonio, can barely put together a coherent Spanish phrase. It may just seem like annoying nagging from our grandparents, but we really should do more to keep this culture alive. It's this sort of biculturalism, this equal blend of American and Hispanic that make us unique from the generations before us, and the ones to come after us. That man in that picture up there is Jose Ignacio Smith. He is my grandfather, and every day I think about all that he went through, all the sacrifices he made, that have helped me get where I am today. I owe it to him. We all owe it to those who came before us, to keep the culture alive. This is Our VOXXI, and we are Latin-American.
In loving memory of Jose Ignacio Smith.

The Parrot Black One Piece swimsuit is one swimsuit you cannot live without.
The SaveSaveSaveSave
Hola! I'm Nicolita owner & designer Nicole Di Rocco. In this video I'll show you why and how we created our signature Nicolita Bottom fit.
Nicolita has one-of-kind swimwear styles that are carefully designed to flatter your figure. Say goodbye to those ill-fitting bikini bottoms and say hello to comfort and fit!
Below are a few of our most popular styles that were designed with YOUR hips in mind.
I want to help you find the Perfect Fit Nicolita Style. Below I have created a Nicolita Swimwear Fit guide to match your curves with our swimwear options and styles. If you still have questions of which bikini or one piece style would look best with your body shape just Call 866-NICOLITA (866-642-6548) Email hola@mynicolita, or Skype me @mynicolita.
Over the last 13 years since I started Nicolita in 2003, I have worked with a lot of Nicolita clients on selecting the perfect swimsuit for them. I'm the first to admit that wearing a bikini or one piece swimsuit can be challenging for the majority of us. Even if you have a rockin' body, there are certain styles that work better on certain body shapes.
But I am a strong believer that there is the perfect swimsuit out there for you. And we have gone ahead and picked out some styles that are flattering for you!
Women with larger cup sizes are primarily looking for 2 things when trying on swimwear: coverage and support. While going up a size in the top can provide more coverage, some styles just won't provide the coverage and support you may be looking for. Look for styles with side boning and molded cups to give you the support and coverage you desire, without the pinching of an underwire!For support and coverage, check out:
Have a smaller bust and want to create the illusion of a bigger chest? Styles with details like ruffles and molded cups will add volume and create cleavage!
For adding volume to a smaller chest, check out:
Haute Dot Bow Tie Bikini Tube Top
If you're looking to tone down the appearance of broad shoulders, look for one-shoulder and detailed tops which will draw attention away from wide set shoulders. Deep V necklines will keep the attention focused on your chest and the low cut back will make your shoulders appear more narrow.
To elongate the torso, check out:
Rumba Ruffles One Shoulder Top
Looking to add more curve to that backside? Look for bottoms with backside details like ruffles, shirring, or our signature knotty bottom. These details add more curve to your bottom and create a more shapely bum.
To add curves to a not so curvy bottom, check out:
We all have those days we would rather cover our midsection. To conceal your midriff while flattering your other assets, look for styles that have shirring throughout the midsection to camouflage any insecurities.
For tummy control, check out:
Deep V One Piece With Shirring
Noche Cha Cha High-Waisted Bottoms
Trying to keep your skin out of the sun, or just desire to be more covered? Look for styles that provide more coverage without sacrificing style, like high-neck tops, high-waist bottoms, and one pieces!

Mary Scroggs Elementary School Improvement Team Members
Parent Co-Chair
Staff Co-Chair
Parent Representatives:
School Board Representative:
Staff Representatives:
Assistant Principal
What is SIT?
SIT stands for School Improvement Team. School Improvement Teams are required by North Carolina law to develop School Improvement Plans. These plans set goals to improve student performance at the school based on an examination of data. School Improvement Plans remain in effect for no more than two years.
What does the SIT Team do?
The SIT may deal with issues related to instruction, student performance, and the school environment/improvement. The SIT develops, reviews, and amends the School Improvement Plan; approves the capital and operational budget requests; solicits input from and hears the concerns of constituents about school programs; reviews the results of all relevant state and district administered surveys; provides counsel to the Board of Education on issues and policies; participates in the selection process when there is a vacancy for the position of principal at the school; advocates for schools; and serves in an advisory capacity to the principal.
Who is on the SIT?
The team is made of the principal, assistant principal, instructional personnel, instructional support personnel, and teacher assistants assigned to the school building, and parents of children enrolled in the school. Representatives are elected by their respective groups (such as the PTA or their departments).
Can I attend a meeting, and when does the SIT meet?
Yes! School Improvement Teams are considered a public body and are subject to open meeting laws. The SIT strives to use a process of continuous school improvement that involves and informs all members of the school community in this work. Staff, parents, and community members are always welcome to attend and observe the meetings. 2016-17 meetings are held at the school from 3:00-4:30 PM on the third Thursday of every month (November 17, December 15, January 19, February 16, March 16, April 20, and May 18).
How do I join?
In the spring (late March/early May) the PTA sends a ballot to all Scroggs families, with SIT candidates to be elected. If you are interested, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com. Members serve a two year term.
How do I communicate a suggestion for school improvement to the group?
You can communicate directly with an individual on the team or send a request to the entire committee by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

TEL AVIV – The deadly fiasco of the Turkish-led "peace flotilla" to Gaza highlighted the deepening strain in the Israeli-Turkish alliance. But it mainly helped expose the deeper, underlying reasons for Turkey's shift from its Western orientation toward becoming a major player in the Middle East – in alliance with the region's rogue regimes and radical non-state actors.
Foreign policy cannot be separated from its domestic foundations. The identity of nations, their ethos, has always been a defining motive in their strategic priorities. Israel's blunders did, of course, play a role in the erosion of its alliance with Turkey. But the collapse of its old "alliance of the periphery," including Turkey, the Shah's Iran, and Ethiopia, had more to do with revolutionary changes in those countries – the Ayatollah Khomeini's rise to power, the end of Emperor Haile Selassie's regime, and now Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Islamic shift – than with Israeli policies.
The current crisis reveals the depth of Turkey's identity complex, its oscillation between its Western-oriented Kemalist heritage and its Eastern Ottoman legacy. Snubbed by the European Union, Erdogan is tilting the balance towards the latter.
Kemalism always saw the Ottoman legacy as a burden, an obstacle to modernization. In Erdogan's vision, modernization does not preclude a return to Turkey's Islamic roots, nor does it require it to abandon its destiny as a Middle East power, even if this means flouting United States-led policies in the region.

Re: Beginner's nymph and questions
First of all, HELP GUYS! My nymphs sink soooo fast. It takes 1 second to get to the bottom. I use angora wool as dubbing material and apparently it soaks all the water and makes the fly too heavy. Also the red part of the fly is a wool. Should i change the material? What else can i try using?

ive been looking at the internet at fly fishing in turkey
depending on where you are, there really seems to be quite a diverse fishing scene over there
seems like you guys have a wide range of climates over there, from coastal, mountain, desert, and a bit of everything in between
Sight fishing is not possible because they never come up but i will try.
Thanks for making a research for me but unfortunately you'll find nothing about Fly Fishing in Turkey
. We have a lot of species but the problem is not about species.
The problem is pollution and people being savage. They never release fishes. They cast nets, they use dynamits and all kind of ugly things. The joy of fishing means nothing to them. They just care about fish meat and that's it. I release fishes all the time and most of the people think i am idiot.
When you go to a lake you will see plastic bottles and bags everywhere. So ugly...

Does your pike lake freeze in winter and kill the weeds? I am guessing yes because that is usually the climate where pike live. If so, you might want to try that lake in late winter and very early spring. Your 5WT should cast a small streamer well enough and that could catch some pike. If you catch pike or carp on your 5WT I think you will have a permanent smile. You will need to use a good leader or even a smaller pike will bite off your tippet with ease.
Our lakes don't freeze. Not cold enough unfortunately. But i guess some of the weeds do die. I will try to do that soon . TY

Black Eyed Peas and other singers appeared on various show to celebrate the coming of 2006READ MORE
Stella Raphael, a cultured and elegant but restless young woman, lives with her husband, Max, a forensic psychiatrist, and their small son, Charlie, at a high-security mental hospital in rural England. Isolated from the urban excitement she craves, Stella is unhappy with her husband and her life, and when she comes into contact with the brilliant and attractive sculptor Edgar Stark, a patient who is engaged in rebuilding the asylum's decrepit Victorian conservatory, she begins to fall in love. Her discovery that Edgar was confined to the hospital after he brutally murdered and disfigured his wife in a psychotic, jealous rage fails to deter Stella from her growing passion, and eventually her love for Edgar is pitted against her husband, her child, the institution, and the entire fabric of her society. Finally Stella makes her choice, precipitating an appalling tragedy and changing the course of several lives.
