Fox TeraFlex Tuned Shock Issues
Went to install the Fox shocks with remote reservoirs today and ran into a problem. The 90 Degree elbow coming off the body of the shock that the hose hooks to is just barely touching the lip of the shock frame mount. There were no instructions with these or no mention of modifications. Has anyone else installed these before? Am I supposed to cut a slot in the shock frame mount? Am i mounting them correctly? Called Teraflex but the tech guys are all off until Monday. This was my planned install over the holiday weekend. Any ideas or thoughts?
cant you install it facing the other way? or is that the front?
That is the rear. Are they backwards? The guys working at Teraflex and Quadratec today thought they should be facing rear.
well I mean, several parts of that setup are adjustable. the one part that isn't is that elbow. You can rotate the main body so it fits with no clearance issues, and then twist the reservoir around so its still facing backwards. But I think most pictures I've seen from the rear have them with the reservoirs on the side, not facing backwards. maybe search for some pics of them installed
quick search on jkf.
Trailmaster Stealth 3 link 4.5" long arm with Fox Shocks
scroll down for pics
Yeah i tried it facing front and its even worse. Its not my resivor thats the issue i can move that around once installed. Its that 90 degree elbow thats hitting. Thanks for the ideas!!
That would lower it a little to give you clearance but might require longer bolts or change something else in a non-beneficial way.
I might try the washer thing today and see how that looks. I dont remember do the factory rear shocks mount up with washers on each side of the bar pin? I had the Teraflex extensions on the factory shocks for so long I forget the original application. My Teraflex extensions had the washers, but also longer bolts to go through the extensions. Thanks for the advice!

Volume 22, Issue 4, April 1951
Measurement of Low Level Radiocarbon22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745896View Description Hide Description
Techniques are described for chemical purification and measurement of radiocarbon at natural levels (10−12 curie/g or less). The chemical cycle has the following steps: (1) conversion of the starting material to carbon dioxide, by combustion or hydrolysis, (2) precipitation as calciumcarbonate, followed by evolution of the purified carbon dioxide, (3) reduction to elementary carbon with magnesium turnings, and (4) extraction with hydrochloric acid and water to remove magnesium and magnesium oxide. The over‐all yield is about 85 percent, based on the carbon in the original sample.
The counting is done in a screen‐wall counter, twenty‐four inches long, with an eight‐inch effective counting length. The sample (about 8.5 g) is mounted uniformly in an ``infinitely thick'' layer, on a split cylinder which can be shifted from ``sample'' to ``background'' position by sliding from end to end of the counter. An argon‐ethylene filling is used. The background of the counter (about 400 cpm, unshielded) is reduced to 4.5 cpm by the use of an eight‐inch thick iron shield and eleven anti‐coincidence counters, eighteen inches long. The calibration of the counter on an absolute basis is described. Its efficiency for a 20 mg/cm2 layer of carbon, over a 400 cm2 area, is 5.46±0.03 percent.
An Exposure Meter for the Electron Microscope22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745897View Description Hide Description
A simple exposure meter has been developed which measures directly the beam current reaching the fluorescent viewing screen of the electron microscope. By its use, the characteristic curve of a Kodak lantern slide plate has been plotted at constant intensity of electron beam. The value of beam intensity given by the exposure meter is confirmed by direct counts of electron tracks in the developed emulsion.
A Wide Range Mechano‐Electronic Transducer for Physiological Applications22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745898View Description Hide Description
Physiological applications and technical limitations of the RCA 5734 mechano‐electronic transducer tube are discussed. A variable protecting mount adapts this tube to full‐scale ranges of force from 5 g to 2.5 kg or more with a 5 volt swing on all ranges. Fundamental resonance frequency varies linearly with the range, from 40 to 300 cps. Amplitude distortion is small and restricted to small deflections. Frequency and phase distortion depend on the driving tissue but are small for myographic phenomena whose highest harmonic is generally around 15 cps. Adaptation of the 5734 tube to ballistocardiography (1μ to 10μ swing) is also shown.
An Improved dc Amplifier for Portable Ionization Chamber Instruments22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745899View Description Hide Description
It is widely recognized that the zero stability of dc amplifiers for measuring currents in the micro‐micro‐ampere region can be enhanced by the application of negative feed‐back. The promised advantages are often not fulfilled, however; and a design approach which emphasizes the economic exchange of amplifier gain for these benefits is outlined. In portable battery‐operated ionization chamber instruments, which are the main concern of this paper, it is not easy to achieve the loop gain needed for optimum performance; and a subsidiary reflexing scheme is adopted to overcome the limitation.
In conclusion a practical instrument incorporating this improved circuit receives brief discussion and performance figures are given.
A Magnetically Compensated Vapor Density Balance22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745900View Description Hide Description
A magnetically compensated buoyancy balance is described. This instrument provides precise and continuous indications of gas and vapor densities falling in the range of 0 to 4 g/l. Measurements can be made at temperatures that are freely variable up to 220°C; mildly corrosive vapors can be handled; and the data are automatically corrected for adsorption effects. The long term reproducibility of the readings is 0.001 g/l.
Magnetic compensation is attained by adjusting the current in an external electromagnet until this magnet's interaction with a small permanent magnet sealed in the balance beam restores the beam to a standard null position. The virtually linear relationship between this ``restoring'' current and the ambient vapor density is established by calibration with a standard substance. High constancy of calibration has been achieved through the use of a special beam suspension which, though extremely friction free, is unaffected by repeated and relatively severe mechanical and thermal shocks.
Two Calorimeters for Industrial Measurements22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745901View Description Hide Description
Two calorimeters for the determination of the heat capacity of solid materials and heats of fusion are described. Typical data for potassium nitrate and for a solution of nicotinic acid in sulfuric acid are presented.
A Continuous Flow, High Temperature Viscosimeter for Drilling Muds22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745902View Description Hide Description
A continuous flow, tube viscosimeter is described which permits determination of viscosities and gel strengths of abrasive thixotropic fluids at temperatures up to 250°F. Provision is made for the introduction of treating chemicals into the closed system, while under pressure, without interrupting fluid flow. The new instrument employs a special rubber tube pump which maintains constant flow under various pressures and is unaffected by abrasive materials. Flow characteristics of the pump are discussed, and tube and Stormer viscosimeter data are compared.
A Phase‐Sensitive Detector Circuit Having High Balance Stability22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745903View Description Hide Description
A new phase‐sensitive detector circuit has been developed having unusually high balance stability. Its inherently fixed balance should make it useful in the many types of servo circuits which utilize phase detected error signals. It has been found to be particularly useful in nuclear resonance measuring circuits.
Magnetic Field Measurements with Peaking Strips22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745904View Description Hide Description
The construction of a device known as a ``peaking strip'' and its use in the measurement of static and dynamic magnetic fields to an accuracy of approximately ±0.02 gauss is described. Fields up to several hundred gauss are easily measured using air‐cooled back bias coils. Using water‐cooled back bias coils, the range is extended to the kilogauss region.
A Cloud‐Ionization Chamber for the Study of Cosmic‐Ray Nuclear Interactions22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745905View Description Hide Description
A combination cloud chamber and ionization chamber in which the gas (argon at 51 lb in.−2 saturated with iso‐amyl alcohol) is common to both chambers is described. The ion chamber, a 3¾in. diameter brass cylinder 8 in. in length open at both ends and having a . central wire, is mounted coaxially with the cloud chamber, which has a useful rectangular volume 10 in.×10 in.×8 in. A burst occurring in the ion chamber generates a pulse which is used to trigger the expansion mechanism. Rapid reduction of the cylinder voltage from −1800 volts to ground, after electron collection is over, prohibits any appreciable motion of positive ions and thus permits observation of the tracks of the burst producing particles. In preliminary tests at sea level,cosmic ray bursts from cascade showers and from stars occurring in the wall (up to 10 prongs) and in the gas (up to 5 prongs) of the ion chamber have been observed.
An Automatic Manometric Respirometer22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745906View Description Hide Description
An automatic manometric apparatus for the continuous determination of oxygen consumption in animals is described. A fixed manometric aliquot of oxygen ranging from 1 cc to 300 cc or larger is admitted through a solenoid valve controlled from an attached mercury manometer, and the time required to consume this aliquot is recorded on a continuous record. The apparatus is simple, compact, convenient, and very flexible, being adaptable for use with many animals under a variety of conditions.
A Hypodermic Pressure Manometer Utilizing the Bonded Wire Resistance Strain Gauge22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745907View Description Hide Description
The recent development of the bonded resistance wire strain gauge has led to its use as a device for measuring physiological pressure phenomena. Further application of the strain gauge has been as an instrument for measuring intravascular blood pressures and other pressure phenomena in biology and medicine.

Hi all.
I'm new to WordPress, but am already loving it compared to blogger.
I know this has probably been asked a million times, but here is one more. I am using the Nona theme and love it. I created a banner that I would like to put in the header, but can't get it to work. Either it does not show up at all, or appears in the wrong place.
I do have experience using CSS and HTML, but still can not quite figure it out.
I know that this description is vague, but hopefully someone out there can help.

Upcoming Detroit Shows
From the Bohemian in Exile:
Saturday, Dec. 8: Frode Gjerstadt Trio
For more than 30 years, saxophonist/clarinetist Frode Gjerstadt has been a primary figure in the Norwegian improvised music scene. In the early years, he was forced to play with musicians from other countries because he had no like-minded peers at home. As his international reputation grew, he helped to cultivate younger players back in Norway. His ferocious sound has accompanied John Stevens, Peter Brotzmann, Evan Parker, Han Bennink, William Parker and Hamid Drake. One fellow Norwegian who paid early dues with Gjerstad is drummer Paal Nilssen Love. Love is a frequent visitor to Detroit and his outstanding approach has been heard here in a variety of settings. Though he is firmly rooted in Europe's free improvising scene- playing with The Thing, OffOnOff and Sten Sandell- he also seems to have a second home in Chicago, where he can be found driving groups with Ken Vandermark and the Peter Brotzmann Chicago Tentet. Doors at 8 pm.
Saturday, Dec. 15: Danjee Flesh Nation, Ritual Howls, Airport
From the mind of Jimbo Easter comes Danjee Flesh Nation- a true spectacle of dark sounds, pageantry and performance that stakes a claim to its own, personal corner of Detroit Music. Sharing lead vocals responsibilities his wife Jennifer Price (who designs much of Danjee Flesh's costumes and imagery), this may be the most dramatic husband and wife one-two punch in art-rock. The often associated Paul Bancel joins the bill with his new group Ritual Howls and Ypsilanti experimental synth and trumpet duo, Airport, round out the evening. Doors at 9 pm; $5.

Ukraine crisis poisons Catholic-Orthodox relations

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Hi, I noticed that the Maintenance Mode prevents wp-cron jobs from running while the Maintenance Mode is active--such as scheduled posts, or more importantly, automatic backups that rely on wp-cron. I'd really like to keep my autobackups working as I build my site.
Is there anyway to allow wp-cron jobs to still run, even with Maintenance Mode active?

If you have a cold and a dirty, wheezy cough, can using albuterol sulfate inhalation solution help?READ MORE
I'm not sure what you mean by a "dirty cough", but albuterol is designed to treat airway inflammation, as in the case of people who have asthma and/or COPD. If all you have is a cold without these underlying conditions, then I would not advise you to use an albuterol inhaler. Of course, if you already have asthma and you also have a bad cold, it can be helpful to take your inhaler during that time. It's often prescribed at the end of a bad cold, particularly if you show signs of bronchitis.
If you mean that you have a lot of phlegm with your cough, you might try the OTC medicaiton Mucinex (this will split up the congestion and help you cough it up.)
If you are concerned about your symptoms or looking for solutions, a better tactic would be to call your doctor for advice or a prescription.
This article, on the never-ending search for ways to ease coughs, may help you too.
My pediatrician prescribes this to my kids when they have a bad cough. Little kids usually can't spit out the phlegm , which in turn can turn into a bad chest cold and bronchitis. We use albuterol in the nebulizer machine. Have never had any side affects and it has really helped our kids colds go away way faster. READ MORE
Albuterol sulfate is not used to treat airway inflammation. It is a beta2 agonist and is a smooth muscle relaxing agent, which means, it is a bronchodilator used to treat wheezing and/or airway constriction. Inhaled corticosteroids (flovent,asmanex, symbicort,advair) are used for airway inflammation, they decrease swelling of the airway. Know your facts before giving out information. READ MORE

AWARD-WINNER! Thai Acupressure Massage
Feet, Hands & Face for the Table
Feet, Hands & Face for the Table
WATCH PREVIEWDr. Anthony James, CMT, DPM, ND, MDAM, SMOKH, the top instructor in the United States, demonstrates how to provide a complete Thai acupressure massage for the feet, hands, and face; also a Thai reflexology balancing treatment for the feet and hands, all on a massage table. He walks you step by step through the procedures. Dr. James also discusses the origins of these techniques; chakras, lom and marma points, and Sen lines; benefits and contraindications; and, how to market these offerings. With the massage, you can help balance energy, bring a nurturing awareness to the client, and enhance circulation. A Thai acupressure facial provides a nonsurgical facelift. The reflexology treatments likewise offer rejuvenating benefits from increased circulation. The treatments will help correct dehydration, edema, swelling of the joints, and lack of motion.

Testimonial: "I Love this site your videos seem to be very informative. You will be hearing from Me soon." Shay C, Missouri"An excellent presentation and well done comprehensive information that can be incorporated into not only massage, but facial treatments. I would highly recommend!" Kim G, Colorado"This is a terrific DVD for learning Thai Acupressure Massage! Having performed reflexology for several years now, I borrowed the dvd from a colleague to see if I could learn a new "twist" on my technique and fell in love with this one! Thanks Dr. James! Will definitely be back for more from Aesthetic Videosource and Amazon.com." Cindy F, TX, USA"I think Dr. James's videos are perfect, whether you are a beginning esthetician/ massage therapist, or a seasoned professional. The techniques provided are presented in a way that is easy to catch on, but still keeping in tune with Thai tradition." DeAngela N, Ohio"This is highly recommended for Esthetician like me. Easy to incorporate with the facial menu. It is a great tutorial especially for beginners." Kate Tecson, USA"A must have DVD! I am a newly massage therapist in the field and continually ordering DVD from Aesthetic Videosource. I especially love Dr James DVD Thai Acupressure Massage: Feet, Hands and Face. The presentation is well done and easily to understand. Whether you are a beginner or advance your clients will benefit from the massage technique you will learn from this DVD." Maxine Williams, USA"As an LMT, I am always looking for ways to improve my client's outcome. Many times clients want the "ooohhh" of a relaxing massage, but they also want relief from chronic or acute pain or discomfort. I have found Dr. James' Thai Acupressure Massage DVD a great way to meld both goals in a way which still does not disrupt the relaxation of the client. The techniques are shown and taught clearly, and are simple to include into a traditional massage. I started off with just a few for the feet, and have added more for the face and hands as I have become more adept. This DVD is very well made and shot, and my clients have loved the additional touches I can easily incorporate into their sessions." Paula Owens, USA"Wonderful addition to skills teaching library, Very helpful demonstrations for massage therapists, estheticians, and other practitioners. Clients will love the wonderful therapeutic benefits this video will help you achieve." Crimson, USA"Every esthetician should have this DVD!!! I love the techniques I learned from this DVD. I can't wait to see clients face afterwards!!! Every Esthetician should have this in their library." Nichole, USA"Amazing! I think Dr. James's videos are perfect, whether you are a beginning esthetician/ massage therapist, or a seasoned professional. The techniques provided are presented in a way that is easy to catch on, but still keeping in tune with Thai tradition." D Nixson, USA"A Wonderful Tutorial, This is a must have for Estheticians! You can easily do these techniques and provide an added value to your clients visits. They will remember you for it!" Beauty Moves, USA"Very easy to understand and to put in practice. Added to my practice, my clients love it." Alexandra Sanchez, USA"This DVD is incredible and I am so glad I made this purchase. I am very interested in Thai Acupressure massages and really want to offer this to my clients. This DVD has been very helpful in expanding my knowledge & understanding all the techniques. The instructor walks you step by step through the procedures and it is very easy to follow." K. Moir, USA"Learning Thai massage has been one of my passions, and this video focused on the hands, feet, and face covers many of the areas that I had not yet learned. This Thai acupressure massage series is incredibly well taught. The instructor Dr. James makes you feel like you are learning in the classroom of a true expert. He is great at assessing the needs of each client and making the experience healing and relaxing. This is the core of acupressure massage, and learning to make it equally therapeutic and enjoyable while resolving issues and imbalances is what makes this video so helpful. Learning to increase circulation and even administer a Thai acupressure facial was really interesting/ There is a lot of technical information shown that you absolutely have to see to master. I had read about these techniques (like the non-surgical face lift!) elsewhere, but I had never seen such a good example in person or in any other video. There are so many benefits that any massage therapist could benefit from learning. I'm very happy with the videos starring Dr. James as the instructor. The content is fantastic." Sarah Batten-Harris, USA

Everyone in the FoodFacts.com community knows that we've always advocated for the healthiest possible start for our children. With childhood obesity on the rise, we understand that now more than ever it's so important for parents and caregivers of small children to pay careful attention to the foods they consume. Today we found new information that speaks directly to the importance of healthy beginnings.
A new study in the TARGet Kids! practice-based research network in Toronto, Ontario has shown that eating behaviors in preschool children may be associated with risk for cardiovascular disease later in life.
The study of more than 1,000 preschool aged children (3 to 5 years old) looked at the link between eating habits and HDL cholesterol levels (a marker for later cardiovascular disease risk)Parents filled out questionnaires addressing eating behaviors – things like watching television while eating, dietary intake, parental concerns about activity levels and growth, screen time and vitamin usage. Researchers measured height and weight of the kids and their parents and took blood samples. They assigned a risk level based on the ethnicity of the parents because some groups are more prone to heart disease than others.
The results revealed a link between eating behaviors and cardiovascular risk. That association may lead to early intervention measures. The results support previous calls for interventions that are aimed at improving the dietary habits of preschool-aged children. Some of those interventions can include responsive feeding. This would be a child-directed method where parents provide healthy food choices and children use internal cues for hunger, taking advantage of those healthy food choices. The eating styles of many children are parent directed –. breakfast served at a specific time in the morning, a mid-morning snack, lunch, mid-afternoon snack and dinner. Children fed in this manner do not develop a natural response to internal hunger cues. In addition, children can respond to cues from the television, encouraging them to eat. Often these cues lead the child and determine for them the timing and amount of food they consume.
This interesting survey certainly reinforces the concept that good nutrition and healthy lifestyle choices begin quite early. The youngest among us deserve the most careful attention when it comes to their dietary choices. FoodFacts.com encourages our community to offer fresh, healthy foods to the children they love. Good habits are easy to form. Start them young on the path to a healthy life and watch them grow into strong, happy and product adults. http://www.foodfacts.com/baby-section

Online system for loans launched by Shawbrook
The bank, which launched in October 2011, offers loans secured on property, asset finance and savings products for business customers, in addition to savings, secured loans and home improvement loans to personal customers.
Ms Ward, the bank's head of sales, said the new 'front-end' system for secured lending would allow advisers and brokers to avoid using a manual system of scanning documents and submitting them by email.
The new system will also allow Shawbrook to gather data around recurring market trends and ensure products were continually improved in line with the demands and needs of the market.
The technology is the first stage in the development of a secured loan platform that will allow intermediary partners to quote, process and submit full cases online for Shawbrook's underwriting team.
Ms Ward added: "We're very proud of our progressive culture at Shawbrook, and since we launched we've continually worked to improve our products and systems.
"We know how important an efficient, streamlined system is for our broker partners and the crucial role it can play in securing business from the market.
"We are very excited about the new system and the difference it will make to our partners, but we're not resting on our laurels and are already in the process of developing a wing-to-wing secured loan platform that will ensure the journey from quoting and processing to submitting full cases online is completely seamless."

17 September 2011
Jack Capuano and the New York Islanders coaching staff kicked off this years training camp with a bang today. The Coaching staff ran what Matt Moulson described as ŌĆ£Probably hardest training camp day in my 6 years of pro.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£This camp is going to be physically demanding,ŌĆØ Capuano said following the first day of camp. ŌĆ£Right from the start and right till the end. It separates the men from the boys and figure out whoŌĆÖs going to be in our line up on October 8.ŌĆØ
The players ran a ŌĆ£bag skateŌĆØ type drill that was very reminiscent of the famous scene from the movie ŌĆ£Miracle.ŌĆØ
The players the drill multiple times before they took a short break. The players returned to the ice and ran shooting drills. Following those drills the players endurance was once again tested as the coaching staff had each line do laps around the ice. By the end of it all the players looked wiped out.
ŌĆ£Today was a little bit tougher,ŌĆØ Kyle Okposo said about the days on ice session. ŌĆ£A skate test and practice with a little skate at the end. I thought the boys handled it well. WeŌĆÖre all pulling for each other and, obviously, weŌĆÖre all excited itŌĆÖs the first day of camp. So you have to push right on through days like these.
ŌĆ£Obviously its part of the game,ŌĆØ added Islanders defensemen Travis Hamonic. ŌĆ£You go in 29 other NHL dressing rooms right now everyoneŌĆÖs doing the same thing and thatŌĆÖs part of the job. ThatŌĆÖs why we train hard all summer and want to make sure we come into training camp in good shape so we can test well.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£Its that extra little bit that you can show the coaching staff that you want to be here and you have the work ethic to be here. These days maybe arenŌĆÖt always the funnest days, but itŌĆÖs part of the job and every one knows we have to do it.ŌĆØ
The players donŌĆÖt take the ice again until Monday. Tomorrow they will have off-ice workouts.

Why is the wp-statpress folder in a statpress folder in the zip file? I can't see any good reason for this and it just adds needless complexity to the installation because you can't just unzip it to the plugins folder.
This is a minor annoyance btw, the plugin is excellent, I use it extensively. Keep up the good work.

The Dark Blues boss has named a 29-man squad to take on Roy Hodgson's Three Lions side at Wembley on August 14.
The match - which is being held to celebrate the Football Association's 150th anniversary - is the first staging of the world's oldest international fixture in 14 years.
Scotland have met their neighbours just three times since 1989 after a creaking fixture list and the rise of hooliganism prompted the abandonment of the annual meeting with the 'Auld Enemy'.
But Strachan says next month's game should signal a permanent revival of the contest.
Asked if he would like to see the game played more regularly, he said: "I think so and we could use the money it generates for grassroots football on both sides of the border.
"I think everyone would accept it - the players would love it, the fans would like it and I think grassroots football would benefit from it.
"A lot of people would like to see it happen more regularly, that's for sure."
Strachan took England on four times as a player but his sole victory came at Hampden in 1985.
However, his personal memories of a game won by a Richard Gough header stretch only to his own disappointing performance.
He does have happier recollections of the 1977 meetings of the teams, which saw the Wembley turf torn up and crossbar snapped by celebrating members of the Tartan Army after Gordon McQueen and Kenny Dalglish struck in a 2-1 win.
"It's a special occasion for everybody and, yeah, I'm going to enjoy it," said Strachan, the first Scotland boss to lead a team south since Craig Brown's side registered a 1-0 win in an ultimately unsuccessful Euro 2000 play-off campaign in 1999.
"I've enjoyed every game so far as a manager. It's been a great experience for me and I'm lucky. There's not too many that get to manage their national side down there at Wembley against England.
"I was there as a supporter in 1977 - I was there on my honeymoon actually.
"There's a bit of turf in some house in Broughty Ferry in Dundee that the [current owner] doesn't know comes from Wembley.
"I was invited on the pitch by a policeman, actually. Me, my wife and my best man were the only ones left stood on the terracing. He just looked at us and went 'On you go,' so we went on.
"I was there in 1996 and I was at the game in 1999 when Don Hutchison scored a header. I've enjoyed every occasion so far. I hope to enjoy this one too."

Peter! I repeat myself often when I say that a players attitude has alot to do with how good or bad he plays, right? Well it is my opnion, only my opinion mind, that the laddies from the Southern Hemisphere have an attitude that so far has NOT been soured by MONEY! Meaning they first want to play then earn, not earn then play get me?

I think that coming from a country with a far smaller population, the players realise that working hard gives them the opportunity to truly gain superstar status and regularly contribute for their country.. whereas in england you have such a larger number of players fighting for the same 11 spots
In one of my contributions some time ago, I had suggested that the Leeds United scouts come out of hibernation and scour Eastern Europe where the likelihood to find technically gifted players is great. Think of the Czechs. Nedved, Poborsky and Berger were young and desperate to play in Western Europe once. The same goes for Bulgaria, Rumania, Slovakia and even Russia.
All these (young) players would want is the opportunity. So what if they leave after 2 years for a bigger club. In the meantime, they would have hopefully helped us gain promotion to the Championship and left us with some cash on the hip for our troubles.

I completely agree with everything you've said regarding the gifted players in the east and all players are looking to prove themselves in one of the greatest competitions in the world. They will leave but what better way to start off with Leads which ultimately benefits the club.

Vinny! As I mentioned just now to Peter, the thing is attitude, the young uns from the old Eastern Block countries have an attitude, this has been recognized by most of the Bundesliga Clubs 1 & 2 for a long time, at least 20 years,As you say they eventually look towards Italy, Spain and England for the big time, b ut until they do they are worth their wagesl

From room to room, service members and their families took part in briefings Saturday morning to make sure they have all the information needed to make deployment easier on everyone.
"Many units have phone numbers and web sites, but there is really no substitute for the real person, said Major Joe Hardman.
That is exactly what many of the people in attendance were able to get. They received one on one contact with the people who can help them select insurance and sift through all the benefits available to family members during deployment.
"I think about them everyday. I worry about the kids. I have a teen age boy getting ready to drive. I want to take care of the guys and come back," said 1st Sgt. Anthony McClinton.
McClinton will soon leave for a six month deployment. His wife has been through his absence before, but the fear and anxiety are still there.
"It is very hard being away from your loved one that long, but being able to connect by letters and phone calls helps," said Anthony's wife, Sonia McClinton.
Sonia says this briefing will help her get through the six months without her husband.
The Yellow Ribbon Event consisted of a group preparing to deploy, a group out of Jackson that is just returning and family members.

The rubber eye cup is set into the socket in the clip.The clear diopter is only needed for its threads. It affixes the rubber cup to the clip.The clip with assembly is then pushed onto the camera viewfinder.I threw a little dust on this so you can clearly see the glass diopter. It has a mechanical function only. Not for optics, so get a 0 version. Take note of the diopter threads. This store in Hollywood sells the clip & eyecup. These guys are big guns with the movie industry. They have two magnifications in dioptors. But not the + 0. With the wrong dioptor, maybe the adjustable dioptor on the camera itself might compensate for it.http://www.samys.com/c/Eyecups--Eyepieces/3/184.html?orfilterby=vendorname;&orbegin=exact;&orend=Nikon;

This is the seventh article in our Positioning for 2012 series. Readers can find the entire Positioning For 2012 series here.
Paul Nouri has been managing Noble Equity Fund, LP, a healthcare-focused hedge fund, since January of 2008. In addition, he manages Noble Advisors, LLC, a Registered Investment Advisor. Prior to this, he worked on the sell side at Sidoti & Co. and Deutsche Bank covering various industries.
Seeking Alpha's Leland Montgomery recently spoke with Paul to find out how he planned to position clients in 2012 in light of his unique understanding of the ins and outs of the health care industry and the outlook for Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement trends.
Portfolio Construction
Seeking Alpha (SA): How would you generally describe your investing style/philosophy?
Paul Nouri (PN): The fund invests in all sub-sectors of healthcare. Our core investment strategy is long-term value. We look for companies that are fundamentally sound with good growth prospects and that trade at a discount to their fair value. We are willing to wait out the volatility inherent in markets to realize significant profit potential from our investments. The top metric we typically look at to value companies is the ratio of enterprise value (defined as market capitalization – cash + debt) to free cash flow.
SA: Within equities, are there any particular sectors or themes you are currently overweight or underweight? If so, why?
PN: We are currently overweight in healthcare services, and more specifically, hospitals. On average, the hospitals have declined 25% this year vs. the S&P 500, which is down 4%. Investors have sold on fear of pressures on reimbursement from Medicare as well as lower admissions that have yet to pick up substantially from the effects of the 2008 recession. Despite these pressures, hospital earnings have been up 10% per year on average during each of the past three years, due to cost cutting and acquisitions. Additionally, when the U.S. economy recovers, which it eventually will, hospitals have a significant amount of leverage to any upside in their admissions as they have right-sized their cost structures. We look forward to significant upside in the space as investor fears will be overshadowed by reasons to be optimistic on the earnings outlook. Some of the names in the space that we currently own include Community Health (NYSE:CYH), Universal Health (NYSE:UHS) and Health Management Associates (NYSE:HMA) with a short position on Tenet Healthcare (NYSE:THC) as a hedge.
SA: Name one investment that exceeded your expectations in 2011, and one you had high hopes for that didn't pan out. Do you see any particular investment surprising investors over the next year?
PN: In the summer of 2011, while hunting for bargains in an otherwise expensive market, we came across Cambrex (NYSE:CBM), a company that manufactures ingredients for pharmaceuticals. We liked the company because we saw a management team that had largely gotten it's restructuring behind it and was focused on profitable growth. Additionally, the company's 4.0x-4.5x enterprise value to cash flow ratio was less than 5x, a figure that quickly got our attention.
After doing our own research on the company and industry, we met with management to talk about business prospects and ended up taking a position in the company. We did not expect this to be a quick, high-return investment. We anticipated holding shares at least 12 months before being able to realize significant profits. Surprisingly, in an otherwise volatile market, shares of CBM are up 75% from our entry point. We have sold out of much of the position, but we still hold shares and anticipate some further upside.
China Medical (CMED) is a company for which we had high hopes, but it fell flat on its face in 2011. Much of the decline in the stock can be attributed to a run up in its receivables, in terms of days sales outstanding (DSO), as well as an overall negative outlook by U.S. investors on China-based companies. Our research has led us to believe that these fears are being priced into the stock too greatly and that shares appear well undervalued. Our China Health checks indicate that the run up in China Medical's DSOs is an industry-wide phenomenon which should abate in the next two quarters. As far as the China stigma is concerned, the company has a top quality auditor and has an experienced audit committee on its board of directors. Additionally, management has been purchasing stock throughout the year, giving us additional assurance that management has confidence in the company's prospects.
As for 2012, we think Stericycle (NASDAQ:SRCL) may surprise investors to the downside. Investors are convinced that this is an unstoppable industry consolidation story. Since 1989, Stericycle has purchased nearly 250 companies worldwide in the medical waste industry. While these acquisitions have aided 15% compound annual growth rates on sales, Gross & Operating Margins are 200 basis points off their 2009 highs and are likely to continue to decline due to pricing pressure. Low barriers to entry breeds competition in the medical waste space and a willingness to undercut Stericycle to gain business.
Also, as health organizations are growing in size, they are putting big pressure on national contracts to get better rates. Stericycle will likely have to continue making acquisitions to attempt to maintain its current pricing. Since 2001, including acquisitions, the company has not produced any free cash flow. We are willing to overlook this sort of track record in a window of a few years, but when it becomes a long-term strategy, there is little cash for shareholders at the end of the day. As a result of the company's aggressive acquisition strategy, it owes $1.4 billion of debt.
Additionally, the company has recently been making a great deal of acquisitions overseas. We do not see how the company can produce any synergies by purchasing businesses in separate parts of the world that require service in those regions specifically. Finally, the shares trade at more than 30x enterprise value to free cash flow. Considering the headwinds the company faces in combination with what we see as aggressive consensus estimates on the Street, we think shares of Stericycle deserve a considerably lower multiple.
SA: Some describe the current era as "The Great Deleveraging" Do you agree/disagree, and does this macro consideration affect your investment planning process?
PN: The era of deleveraging began in 2007, when home equity lines were cut off and credit card limits reduced. Investors should remember that the United States has been underperforming for five full years. Five years of layoffs, underperforming equities, falling home prices and an overall uninspiring economic mood. A housing crisis became a financial crisis and then a sovereign debt crisis. We are at a critical juncture. Investors and asset allocators have a choice. Do we continue to be scared by headline news about countries with a GDP less than New Jersey (I'm talking about Greece) or do we focus on the positive and let the animal spirits take us out of a dark period?
There is actually much to be optimistic about. The fact that people have been paying off their debts the past few years brings greater stability to individual balance sheets. Additionally, it's likely that home values are close to bottom. A combination of tightening housing supply and record low interest rates should be enough to put people into homes. Low interest rates should incentivize borrowing. This has been the case with corporate borrowing, which has taken off as the combination of low equity prices and low interest rates have created perfect opportunities for companies to leverage up. While the latest recession hopefully taught people to be more responsible with their finances, it is doubtful that consumers will worry about paying off debt in an era of record low interest rates.
SA: 2010-11 saw a notable rush for the exits from equities and equity vehicles. Is this a cyclical or secular shift? What would it take to bring them back?
PN: I personally don't remember a time when sentiment on the economy and on political will was this low. In past recessions, financial advisors have been the voice of optimism, encouraging their clients that if they stay in risky assets, such as equities, they will eventually have superior returns. However, this time around, the AAA debt rating of the United States being downgraded was enough for advisors to look for cover as well. Additionally, as baby boomers begin to retire (at least those who can afford to) allocations naturally turn more defensive and put more money into bonds and less in stocks.
That being said, I think the current shift is cyclical in nature. If people's homes were worth more, they would likely feel more confident investing in stocks, however, without the safety of home equity, people are almost forced to take a more cautious view on investing. If and when home prices come back, and if and when the United States deficit is sustainably under 5% again, investors should have enough confidence to come back into the market and invest.
SA: Do you believe gold is a genuine hedge in uncertain markets? If so, how much exposure to it or other precious metals do you have? If not, where are you turning for potential downside diversification?
PN: I don't believe that gold is a hedge in all kinds of uncertain markets. The types of uncertainties investors face today are related to the value of currency and the fiscal stability of sovereign governments. In my opinion, the primary function of gold is as a doomsday hedge. Ownership of tangible gold provides some comfort to those who don't believe there is enough political will to solve today's mounting budget and monetary issues. While I have to believe the Federal Reserve of the United States was well intentioned when it chose to leave interest rates at 0% for a prolonged period of time and engage in multiple rounds of quantitative easing, these practices brought greater instability into the homes of average people. Many people save today and do not put their life savings into the stock market. With interest rates at zero and the news constantly harping on how the U.S. is in serious fiscal trouble, it is easy for people to feel a greater level of safety by having a portion of their savings in physical gold. I think the year-to-year appreciation in gold is significantly less important than the security it provides in the case of fiscal calamity. While the fund doesn't own any physical gold, I personally have a small portion of my savings in it.
Global Markets
SA: The Iran nuke situation and a potential Israeli, U.S. or global attack. How serious would such an event be to oil prices and subsequently, the global economy/exchanges? Is this something you're positioning for and if so, how?
PN: There would likely be a sharp, short-term spike in oil prices if any situation in the Middle East got out of hand. However, as has recently been in the headlines, the United States has become a net exporter of oil products. In the case that there was a literal oil shortage, it appears that the United States could pull levers so that the effect of any short-term shortage would be minimized. While this would make global markets more volatile in the short term, the long-term impact would likely be minimal. Global geopolitical events are always something that we factor in to our overall portfolio strategy. The potential of such events are looked at in relation to valuation multiples present in the equity markets. If we see that PE multiples are exuberantly high, not pricing in a real possibility of geopolitical instability, the fund will move to more liquid equities, lower net exposure and increase portfolio activity. If the market is generally inexpensive and over-discounting risk (as was the case after the August swoon), we move to small- and mid-cap stocks and increased our risk profile to catch the upside potential of any ensuing rally.
SA: We are coming up on an election year. Will this be good or bad for markets? Are you positioning for different potential outcomes?
PN: Normally, I would argue that election-year politics will lead to a prolonged period of volatility in 2012. However, I think the country has seen, and is getting used to, the increased politicization of the United States economy both in Congress and in the GOP primaries. In Congress, the Republican argument for their bills is that President Obama's policies have failed to date, so why would we continue to spend trillions of dollars on failed economic policy? The Democrats argue that not only will a reduction in any social benefits be bad for society's members, but it will also bring down GDP growth.
Concerning the GOP primaries, I think that when the debates started in September the candidates took advantage of the fact that the US was recently downgraded to launch attacks on the current President's economic policies. While the politics are for the people to decide, the constant talking down of the United States economy was a significant hurdle for investor and consumer confidence in September and October. As time bore out, though, people have gotten used to the rhetoric. I doubt that going into 2012, there is any new negative news that isn't already baked into the market, especially if the unemployment rate remains below 9% and continues to improve. As a result, election year 2012 has not led us to change our positioning.
U.S. Markets
SA: Inflation or deflation? Growth or recession? Which is the US economy headed and how will you be positioning clients? Housing market in U.S. – still an issue or not so much anymore? Will prices continue to fall?
PN: Since the recession started over four years ago, there has been inflation and deflation simultaneously. While the price of some commodities including oil are up over 20%, stocks and home prices have fallen more than 20%. The cost of healthcare and secondary education have continued to increase throughout the recession, while savings rates are at record low levels. It's not difficult to see that the government has had its hand in most of these items and it has resulted in negative consequences for its people. Many, including myself, partially attribute the higher price of oil to an easy money policy. Falling home prices reflect the consequences of overly aggressive government subsidies, in the form of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Housing Administration, enabling people to purchase homes who could not otherwise afford them, which resulted in a housing bubble. A high percentage of student loans issues over the past few years have been backed by Sallie Mae, a government sponsored enterprise. Finally, nearly 50% of healthcare in the United States is paid for by Medicare, Medicaid and the department of Veterans Affairs.
With this in mind, when we think about whether there will be inflation or deflation going forward, it relies in large part on what extent the government will continue to support these various industries. It appears that easy money is a long-term policy, so we shouldn't expect oil prices to retreat. The government continues to back most home loans. As a result, we should anticipate that at some point, there will be a rebound in housing as the government has created a market for its loans. If the government steps away from student loans, interest rates on these loans would likely skyrocket, and no administration wants to be responsible for that.
Finally, the government has signed a national health coverage mandate into law for 2014, which will increase both the Medicare and Medicaid rolls. With all of these factors considered, inflation is the likely outcome going forward. Whether Republican or Democrat, the basic pool of money available for these programs will likely remain robust and the government will continue to print money.
The question now is will this inflation lead to growth? Over the past few years, it can be argued that if it were not for government spending, the US would not have experienced much in the way of GDP growth. With that being said, at the very least, it is likely that the pace in growth in government spending will slow, resulting in a loss of one leg of growth for the economy. What America needs desperately is a recovery in home prices and home construction. The latest numbers show that home prices continue to decline. However, the numbers also show a 10% decline in existing home inventory since June. As inventory continues to wind down, a bottom should be created for both prices and new construction.
The golden question is, when will this happen? With a 30-year mortgage rate at 4% and record affordability metrics, it should only be a matter of time before people take the leap and begin purchasing homes again. This would boost the economy tremendously as increased pricing would create equity for the over 60% of families that own homes and additional construction would create jobs in a variety of industries from transportation to mining. Additionally, a boost in home construction would lead to revenue for struggling towns across the country in the form of property taxes. In conclusion, while the United States will continue to face headwinds concerning its own fiscal house, pent-up demand and attractive affordability in housing should create a new leg of growth for the United States economy.
Bonds/Fixed Income
SA: Where do you see Treasury yields in 12 months? Are Treasuries worth buying at current (low) yields? For clients requiring income, where have you been turning in this low yield environment?
PN: Rational investors have been bearish on Treasurys for over a year now. That being said, I would not advise anyone to go into Treasurys right now. To date, Treasury yields have been held down by aggressive easy monetary policy and a lack of appetite for risk around the world. If and when risk appetite improves, which it should considering the attractive earning yield on stocks, bond yields should start to move up.

R. Kelly Drafts Cole, Holiday, Ne-Yo For Winter Tour
R&B acts R. Kelly, Keyshia Cole, J. Holiday and Ne-Yo will join forces for a U.S. fall tour, beginning Nov. 14 at the Columbus Civic Center in Columbus, Ga., and wrapping Jan. 13 at a venue to be announced.
The 40-city arena trek follows Kelly's most recent studio album, "Double Up," which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 in June. The Jive set, Kelly's sixth No. 1 album, has moved 867,000 units in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Kelly last toured in spring 2006 under the name Mr. Show Biz as part of the Light It Up Tour, which found the artist backed by a live band. Prior to that, Kelly hadn't mounted a major U.S. tour since the premature collapse of his fall 2004 Best of Both Worlds outing with Jay-Z, resulting in multiple lawsuits.
Kelly had to receive special permission to tour in light of his upcoming trial in Chicago on child pornography charges.
Washington, D.C.-based vocalist J. Holiday will use the upcoming tour to promote "Back of My Lac'" which was released Tuesday (Oct. 2) via Music Line/Capitol. Ne-Yo, who will support his Def Jam set "Because of You," currently has concert dates scheduled through early November in Los Angeles (Wiltern Theatre); Orlando, Fla. (University of Central Florida); Poughkeepsie, N.Y. (Mid-Hudson Civic Center); Huntington, W.Va. (Big Sandy Superstore Arena); and Pine Bluff, Ark. (University of Arkansas).
