Although you should be leery of stock tips overheard at a cocktail party, there's value to information gathered from a long-standing network of research analysts and industry contacts. Marshall Berol and Malcolm Gissen, co-managers of Encompass (ENCPX), aren't afraid to apply a little elbow grease to the tips they glean from industry experts. The duo thoroughly vets these recommendations and will continue to add to positions, provided their investment theses remain intact. This strategy propelled Encompass to the top of Morningstar's World Stock category in 2009. Berol and Gissen spoke with us about their market outlook and favorite sectors.
What's your read on the US economy?
Gissen: The recovery has been much slower than most people anticipated, including us. There are many uncertainties hanging over the market right now: the election, income and estate tax policies, and whether the Republicans will gain control of Congress. The mortgage foreclosure issue still hasn't been resolved, and the housing situation doesn't look attractive, particularly until we see an improvement in unemployment. On the other hand, corporations are reporting decent earnings and sitting on enormous amounts of cash, though they're reluctant to hire. We expect this to change gradually.
We look to add exposure to the superior growth prospects offered by emerging economies by focusing on companies that provide resources and consumer products to those markets.
China is an obvious example of a market we like. We think India and Brazil will do well over the next several years, and Turkey is attractive. There are concerns about the Chinese real estate market and that GDP growth may fall from 10 percent to 8 percent. That's still very substantial growth, mostly because China has a very large population. India's the same sort of story.
Berol: There's no question that it's a global economy and investment world these days. We look worldwide for companies that will fare well even in a slow economy. We're invested in companies doing oil and gas exploration and production in South America. We hold mining companies operating in South Africa, South America, the U.S., Canada, Mongolia and China.
Your portfolio is extremely heavy on gold miners. What's your outlook for the sector?
Gissen: The price of gold should head higher, though it's difficult to say exactly when gold will hit $1,500 an ounce. A variety of factors contribute to this trend: The economy, inflation worries, terrible municipal and federal debts, and the possibility of wars and terrorist attacks. These threats help boost the price of gold.
And the easy gold has already been mined. Marshall and I have toured South American properties that contain enormous amounts of gold, so a handful of bonanza properties are left. But we've talked to a lot of mining executives who tell us how difficult it is to find and extract gold, so we think there will continue to be a lot of mergers and acquisitions in the sector.
All of this suggests that gold prices will probably rise; we want to have significant exposure to gold.
Berol: The price of gold should continue to rise, leading to questions about whether there's a bubble. We don't think so. Gold prices haven't gone parabolic. Sure, it's gone up over the last 10 years, from around $275 to $1,250. But gold has suffered corrections and consolidation along the way, and if you look at a chart, it's risen on a reasonably steady basis over that ten-year period.
A bubble occurs when everybody regards gold exposure as a must-have, but many investors still dismiss gold's future. On any given day, the media will say that gold prices rose or fell because of the dollar or profit taking, but the role of supply and demand is not as well recognized as it should be. It is far more difficult, expensive and time consuming to find gold or any other commodity these days. And environmental and social concerns mean that extraction takes longer and is more costly.
Why do health care names figure so prominently in your portfolio?
Berol: The health care industry benefits from extremely favorable demographics. The population's getting older, there's more and better health care available, there are new drugs and procedures, and life expectancies are improving. These factors drive the need for health care.
We like Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (NSDQ: TEVA), an Israeli company that manufactures and distributes generic drugs and a small portfolio of branded drugs worldwide. Teva is an outstanding company that has grown both organically and by acquisition and operates in a fundamentally strong industry.
We also own Delcath Systems (NSDQ: DCTH), a drug delivery company working on a process for delivering chemotherapy drugs to a particular organ through profusion. This method delivers the drug in a more concentrated form but limits side effects. The product is currently in Phase III clinical trials, and we anticipate that the Food and Drug Administration and the EU will approve the treatment. We're looking to add to our position.
Did the US health care reform scare you off from investing in the sector?
Gissen: The companies we're looking at have enormous potential, and the products they bring to the market are so necessary that we believe they should do extraordinarily well. Generic drugs should see greater utilization, which will be extremely favorable for the firm.
In the case of Delcath, one other crucial point is that the drug delivery system is believed to be effective with most organs and cancers. The process also prevents chemotherapy drugs from getting into the patient's blood, thereby lessening damage and side effects. The potential market for Delcath's product is enormous. Management is highly motivated to succeed and seems to be on the right path.
Why does so much of your research focus on rare earth elements?
Gissen: Many new applications for rare earth elements (REE) continue to be found, and these compounds feature prominently in green technologies. Hybrid cars use more than 20 pounds of REEs, and they're also used in windmill and solar installations. They're used in LED lighting, rechargeable batteries and many consumer electronics as well.
Until recently, approximately 95 percent of the world's REEs came from China. The price of these elements has increased because the Chinese announced export reductions and cracked down on a number of illegal mines.
We realized several years ago that demand for REEs would increase significantly and invested in Avalon Rare Metals (OTC: AVARF.PK), a Canadian company that has a world-class resource in the Northwest Territories at Thor Lake. Management expects the play to enter production over the next several years.
The company has solid financials and little debt. It's an attractive bet.
Berol: We came across the rare earth elements several years ago. We come across a lot of these investments through conversations with the management teams at many companies, as well as a number of research analysts and other contacts.
We do an awful lot of reading and talk to a lot of people. Malcolm and I co-manage the fund, but we also have two analysts who work with us on the fund and our private accounts. When an interesting idea comes to us, we follow up on it because we're inquisitive about global trends and how they'll affect the investment world.
We saw that demand for and the use of REEs was growing and sought companies that would benefit from that growth.
Dacha Capital (OTC: DCHAF.PK) is another company we invested in to leverage rare earth metals. Dacha formed earlier this year and has purchased rare earth elements in China. The firm exports them under license and stores them outside of China in anticipation that prices will rise over the coming years.
The company should profit from its inventory of these metals. The stock offers a way to play rare earth elements without being directly involved in their mining.
What's your best piece of advice for the next year?
Gissen: I would be very cautious about the economy. There's a lot of information available and tremendous efforts being made by sales teams to attract people to hot investment vehicles.
Berol: Beware of the drive to fixed-income investments. Don't give up on equities. The statistics show heavy flows away from equities and into fixed-income mutual funds. That's likely to prove disadvantageous over the next several years. Interest rates are at extremely low levels, depending what you're looking at they could be at all-time low levels. There's only way for them to go: up. There are no ifs, ands or buts about that. When rates go up, bond prices will fall, fixed-income funds will drop in value, and total returns may be extremely disappointing.

Recent reviews
Good 3.6 /5 from 30 reviews
Overall, we were happy with our stay. Our room was a bit outdated and the beds were not the most comfortable. However, we did not spend much time in our room and you shouldn't either since there is so much to explore. The hote was close to shopping and the beach is just steps outside the hotel. The outdoor pool was a lot of fun and very clean. The service at this hotel was outstanding and they were all very friendly. For the price, I think we got a great deal.
This is my 3rd time staying in Hampton in Barranquilla for the past 13 months. The room is spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff are very professional, friendly and very helpful. The neighborhood is nice. Taxi is readily available in front of the hotel to take you anyway in Barranquilla, and is inexpensive. You can find many restaurants in the neighborhood. I booked my room through Hotels.com, and I got a great deal.
I loved this hotel. It was very clean, is near the beach and restaurants, and the service was excellent.
BASICS: 3 adults, 1 senior, 1 baby) in 2x rooms [31 Mar-05 Apr]. Traveled last minute. Hotel was 1/3 in the $70-78 USD range; many others available nearby at +$100 USD. SERVICE: Without a doubt what made this hotel stand out. The front desk staff was welcoming, staff was friendly & always smiling. ARRIVAL: There are 3x parking spots in front of the hotel (not accountable for damages/loses). They offer a parking pass to the nearby mall, at $4,000 COP per day. Quick check-in. ROOM (Double): clean tile floors, modern bedspread & sheets, minimalist decoration, small flat-screen TV, very clean bathroom & shower areas (no tub). Pillows were soft, the bed less so, but comfortable. Additional room guests payed $90,000 COP per day (better get another room). We left the "do not disturb" sign up the first day, but they still cleaned/fixed our room, which we didn't mind. No problems with noise. BREAKFAST: Simple yet sufficient. Bread, rolls, REAL scrambled eggs, cheese, coffee, hot chocolate, arepas, fruit (papaya, melon, watermelon), milk, fruit juices, & frosted flakes). FACILITIES: Lobby has 2 areas with couches. Pool area open from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. A door connects the hotel's pool to the beach (locked after 6 p.m.) This area is also separated by a transparent plexiglass that allows for cool beach views. AREA: Restaurants, cafes, & various within a 1 km radius of the hotel. There's a next door mall (Nao) & another one within 2 km towards the walled city.
I stayed in Hotel Playa for three times. The staff were always very friendly, helpful and professional. The price of room is inexpensive compared to many other hotels in Bocogrande, Cartagena. The beach is right across the street. The location is also very convenient.

hi to all! i don't know if someone already posted this topic. sorry if that's the case.
i'm encountering somehow a problem with the return value of the PHPExcel_Cell_DataType dataTypeForvalue().
i parsed a cell which is in date format but the function returns general.
somehow i think there's a problem with this function. anyone know why is this happening?
here's the part of my code:
$reader = new PHPExcel_IOFactory::createReader('Excel5'); //my file is in excel 2003 so i used excel 5
$obj = $reader->('myexcel.xls'); //my file
$type = new PHPExcel_Cell_DataType();
$data = $type->dataTypeForValue($obj->getActiveSheet()->getCellByColumnAndRow(1,0)->getValue()); //gets the data format from the excel
Ugg... That is not how dataTypeForValue() was meant to be used. It is mostly used internally in the library for determining what kind of data you are trying to insert via
What is it you are trying to do exactly?

Welcome to your local Cincinnati Davey Tree office! At Davey Tree, our arborists are certified and insured to provide quality tree service in Cincinnati and surrounding communities. From tree planting and removal to professional lawn care, our arborists approach each Cincinnati landscape with knowledge, passion and experience.
I have lived in my home for 43 yrs. and have had numerous tree experiences. This was my first experience with Davey, and I could not have been more pleased, due largely to the experience and efficiency of my arborist.
We needed someone right away, and your guys were right there. Just two guys in two days got the tree off my car without any more damage and had the entire 63'' diameter maple tree down and cut up. Thank you again!!!
Our arborists actually live in local Cincinnati communities, so they understand the environmental concerns and common problems faced by trees the area. Certified by the TCIA and ISA, our fully bonded and insured arborists provide comprehensive tree services tailored to your individual property goals.
If you think a tree pest may be present in your Cincinnati neighborhood, it is important to start thinking about your treatment options. Below, we've included a list of common pests impacting trees in the area and the signs you may have an infestation:
Davey Tree offers prevention and treatment options for these common issues and more. If you are concerned one of your trees may be suffering from a disease or pest infestation, contact your local Davey arborist below for free expert advice and a diagnosis.
At your local Cincinnati Davey Tree office, we believe tree care is a science. That's why each of our arborists is trained at The Davey Institute, a cutting-edge tree research facility.
Every winter, the Davey Institute of Tree Sciences (DITS) brings Davey employees together for a highly intensive, month-long training program. Throughout the training, our arborists learn new and innovative ways to diagnose common tree issues and gain expertise in plant pathology, entomology and more.
At our Cincinnati office, we believe there are no shortcuts to solid relationships. This is why all of our work is done by ISA Certified Arborists and Davey Tree is proudly TCIA Accredited. We want to earn your business, your trust and your confidence one step at a time. If at any point, you are unsatisfied with the care you receive at Davey Tree, we will work to make it right. It's our promise to you. Guaranteed.
Find your local arborist below to discuss your tree care options today
Tree pruning is an important tool to help sustain a tree's health and retain its natural appearance. Davey assesses your tree's pruning needs from removal of unhealthy limbs to disease reduction.
Planting a tree that will thrive depends on the landscape, the climate and property goals. Our certified arborists provide expertise on "right tree, right place" – what trees to plant and where and how to plant them.
Davey professionals recognize that lawns need healthy roots for healthy growth. We provide a variety of services and an exclusive formula of nutrients to meet your lawn's specific needs and help your turf thrive.
With proper treatment, some trees infected with EAB can be restored, and those that are healthy but at risk can be protected. Our professional arborists can identify EAB and provide the best options for your tree's health.
Trees and shrubs in an urban setting loose nutrients in a number of ways, but applying fertilizer is a way to restore vitality. Our slow-release fertilizer Arbor Green PRO® replaces nutrients and improves resistance to disease and stressful weather.
Our certified arborist effectively pinpoint weak limbs that need cables and braces to reduce potential risk. Professional installation strengthens weak branches and reduces tree stress caused by weather elements and heavy foliage.
Our team provides a full-range of landscape maintenance services to manage the health and aesthetic appearance of your property.
Deer aren't cute when they're eating your trees, shrubs and flowers. We can help keep your landscape lively by controlling deer. Davey uses deer repellent sprays, fences and more to keep deer out of your garden.
Many tree problems start at the roots, and left untreated, can lead to tree failure. Certified arborists use air spades to diagnose root problems and remedy root flares. This tool reduces soil compaction while safely unveiling tree roots for arborists' inspection.
Did you know up to 90 percent of tick bites occur in your own yard? Keep your family safe from ticks at home. Davey can reduce your yard's tick population with our safe, eco-friendly tick suppression program.
Schedule seasonal tree risk assessments to keep your trees and home safe. Certified arborists can identify safety hazards and potential weaknesses earlier. Catching problems early is far cheaper and safer than treating advanced problems later.

Comments: This lead tape has been great. Fits perfectly on the frames that I've been using and also sticks
well without being a hassle to take off on both frames and grips. I will continue to use this product.
From: James, 9/16
Comments: Awesome lead tape. Sticks well, easy to take off when needed, excellent width for putting it on
any area of the racquet. Highly recommended.
From: James, 5/16
Comments: This is great lead tape! Easy to apply and it stays on. I recommend it.
From: Dan, 7/13
Comments: If you find yourself buying packets of lead tape often, you should purchase this reel. This has
plenty of
length and at a great value.
From: Bobby, San Bernardino, CA, USA. 04/09
Comments: This is a great deal. My gripe with lead tape that comes in packets (besides the ridiculous price) is
it's hard to measure because the folds mess with measurements, but this comes in a convenient reel. Although you have to
careful that the reel doesn't unwind, it is very easy to measure and cut. I would definitely recommend it.
From: Joseph, Jersey City, NJ, USA. 10/08
Comments: This reel of lead tape is a great value, considering the length - 36 yards! It is great for customizing
head light racquets. Not a lot of stores sell lead tape at the 1/4 inch width. Thanks, Tennis Warehouse!
From: Jeffrey, San Jose, CA, USA. 6/08
Comments: It's just like the Gamma lead tape, except it's pre-cut to a very
convenient 1/4 inch width. This reel is great value for me because stores sell lead tape (if at
all) so expensive here in Australia! Thanks a million TW!

With big beasts like the National Gallery and the British Museum nearby, you could be forgiven for overlooking some of the smaller attractions in our neighbourhood. But Covent Garden and Holborn boast a great range of quirky and specialist museums, featuring everything from multimedia experiences in Georgian town-houses to cabinets full of anatomical specimens. Take a break from the mainstream tourist trail with these five gems, all a quick walk away from Strand Palace.
London Transport Museum
If you want to get an insight into London's development in the 20th Century, this is the place to start. A beguiling collection of buses, trains, posters and signs tell the story of an increasingly connected city and an increasingly mobile population, served by one of the most design-conscious corporations of its age – the vintage advertising material is fantastic, and the shop full of dangerously desirable books, games and ornaments. With vehicles to climb on and loads of interactive displays, London Transport Museum is great for kids too.
Benjamin Franklin House
To call Benjamin Franklin House an unusual London museum would be an understatement. First, it's devoted to the life of an American – and not just any American, but one of the founding fathers. Second, it takes a unique approach, telling its story through a mix of multimedia and live theatre. Guests are welcomed by 'Polly Hewson' – the daughter of Franklin's landlady – and led through the three-storey townhouse discovering the food, culture and politics of the great man's life and times.
Hunterian Museum
This sprawling collection belonging to the Royal College of Surgeons is not for the squeamish. It is crammed with curiosities that will fascinate scientifically-minded adults – and no doubt delight kids of a certain disposition too. Human skulls, dissected beasties and vintage microscopes all feature, while ever-changing temporary exhibitions explore specific themes within medicine and biological research. It may sound a little fusty, but inside it is quite the opposite – the main room is an stylishly lit modern space lined with floor-to-ceiling glass cabinets.
Sir John Soanes Museum
Soanes, a famous architect active in the late 1700s and early 1800s, was a prolific collector. His trove of casts, models, paintings and books first entered public life as a resource for students at the Royal Academy, and became a fully-fledged museum after his death in 1837. The period interiors have been kept largely as they were, making the house just as interesting as its contents – expect exotic rugs, wood-panelled libraries and bright atriums packed with sculptures and carvings. Entry is free, and guided tours (£10) run Tuesday to Saturday.
Cartoon Museum
This gem of an institution showcases the British sense of humour in all its glory, from biting political satire to kids' comics to bawdy seaside postcards. The permanent collections are a joy, beginning with Hogarth and Cruikshank and ending with modern cartoonists like Guardian contributor Martin Rowson. It's a wonderful insight into the national character, and fans of comics and graphic novels will fall in love with the shop, which carries a great range of books, prints and gifts.

A variety of studies has examined language and reading achievement among children with cochlear implants. Despite huge (and largely unexplained) individual differences in outcomes, children with implants generally perform better in these domains than deaf children without implants, although not as well as hearing age-mates. Beyond spoken language and reading abilities of young children, far less is known about outcomes following cochlear implantation, particularly in older deaf children and youth and among those without cochlear implants. This project will examine relations among various measures of (1) spoken language and sign language skills, (2) verbal and nonverbal cognitive abilities, (3) learning from print and through- the-air (spoken and/or signed) communication, and (4) audiological backgrounds of deaf students (e.g., cochlear implant histories, family communication). Additional variables to be considered in both specific comparisons for each study and in a latent variable path analysis include measures of academic achievement, social-emotional functioning, vocabulary knowledge and reading ability, and deaf students'language and cochlear implant histories. Eight studies utilizing paradigms from cognitive science and communication science will investigate differences in the three primary domains of interest and interactions among them. Three groups of young adults will participate in each study, all three varying in their academic abilities and knowledge of sign language: deaf students with cochlear implants, deaf students without cochlear implants, and hearing students. Analyses of between-group differences, and proportions of variance accounted for by various measures in predicting others will allow the most comprehensive studies to date concerning language, cognition, and learning among deaf students with and without cochlear implants. Results will have specific practical implications for educating deaf students and theoretical implications for greater understanding of interactions of language and cognition among individuals who vary in their access to spoken language. More generally, the results will help to better focus services for individuals with hearing loss, making them more efficient and effective, while enhancing educational and employment opportunities as well as physical and emotional health.
This project is aimed at deciphering interactions among language, learning, and cognitive abilities of deaf students with cochlear implants. The results will help to better focus services for individuals with hearing loss, making them more efficient and effective, while enhancing educational and employment opportunities as well as physical and emotional health.

The good news is that walking results in far fewer injuries than sports such as running. The bad news is that injury can happen. Ted L. Forcum, DC, DACBSP, spoke to the walkers at the Ero-Fit Racewalk Retreat about common walking injuries.

Prevention of injuries:  There are several things you can do, most of them things your Mom told you long ago:

Proper footwear: Go to a real fit-expert and get the right shoes for YOUR feet. Many injuries are caused by over-pronation, which can be corrected by today's running shoes. Many injuries are caused by wearing old, dead shoes - you need to replace them every 500 miles. Shoes are cheaper than medical care!

Stretching: Tight, cold muscles are a set-up for injury. Warm up and then gently stretch the muscles you plan to use, especially if walking for speed.

Nutrition: Follow the good-old food pyramid, eat a variety of foods, and take a simple and cheap multi-vitamin.

Compensate for your anatomy:Know your body, correct your walking posture.

Ice: Always ice an injury or strain to keep inflammation from destroying tissue.

Sleep: You need sleep to give your body time to build muscles and repair damage.

Gradual changes in training:Increase your distance 10% a week. Don't be a weekend warrior.

Proper form: Too much lean, looking down, swinging your arms up past your breastbone -- all can lead to strain and injury. Walk tall with chin up and eyes forward, arms bent 90 degrees and swinging up no further than your breastbone.

Shin Splints
This is the most common condition new walkers experience, especially if they are trying to walk fast. This is the pain in the lower leg that stops when you slow down or stop. Causes and corrections:

Overstriding: you throw your leg out too far in front, unnaturally lengthening your stride and excessively dorsiflexing your ankle when your foot strikes. You may also feel this on downhills due to the same factor. To correct this, slow down and shorten your stride. Concentrate on pushing off with your back foot rather than extending your front leg so far with each stride - your lead foot should strike closer to your body, roll through the step and push off with your toe. This will increase your power and speed of stride and get rid of the overstriding habit. Your extension should be in back, not in front.

High Heel: It can be made worse by wearing shoes with a high heel (compared to the forefoot). The best walking shoes will have very little difference between the heel height and the forefoot height.

Over-pronation: Foot rolls inward excessively on each step. To correct, get fitted by an expert with motion control running shoes.

Heel Spurs/Plantar fasciitis
There is an epidemic of plantar fasciitis and heel spurs. It is that pain in the bottom of your foot that especially hurts first thing in the morning when you try to get out of bed and stand on it, or after sitting for awhile. It is caused by wounding the tough fascia on the bottom of your foot.

Over-pronation: Foot rolls inward excessively on each step. If you tend to do this and you are wearing old shoes as well that are broken down, you have set yourself up for injury. Get new motion-control running shoes.

Lack of calf flexibility

Treatment options:It can take several weeks to recover from plantar fasciitis. You will need to rest and reduce your walking.

Außerdem gibt es einen Billardraum und einen Fitnessraum, alles kann unentgeltlich benutzt werden. Das Gelände ist bewacht und kann nur mit Zugangscode befahren werden.

Sims free play cheat for Kindle fire hd?
I really need a cheat for this! Most cheats are cheats that you have to change the date and time but my Kindle cannot do that. Please help, I need a cheat that gives money, and if it's possible an Lp cheat. A money chest that will help me until the next update. Any help? :(
Usually, games that offer the option to spend real cash into in-game cash or items don't allow any cheats that give things for free.
A similar question mentioned that there were cheats, but they are gone. The only answer to that was a hack.
There may be exceptions, but don't count on it and/or be careful looking around for one.
I know this isn't what you were looking for but this is like getting free items,
This cheat can be a little temperamental, but mostly it works really well!
1) Buy any items you want
2) Get one SIM to visit another Sims town.
3) If it loads the other town, go back and try again with another town. If the screen just says 'Contacting Server' and keeps buffering, then power your device off.
4) Power your device on again, and wherever you appear (it can vary between the town you were trying to visit, your own town or the town you visited last.), get yourself back to your town.
5) All the money you spent should re-appear, but you will still have all the items you bought.

Group Payoffs as Public Signals

We study experimentally the effect on individual behavior of comparative, but payoff-irrelevant, information in a near-minimal group setting. Specifically, in each round, group members see the groups' cumulative payoffs, which consist of an aggregation of the earnings of each member of the group in the round. Our novel experimental design incorporates two games (the Trust game and the Dictator game) whose payoffs are carefully chosen to ensure cross-game comparability. In the baseline, no comparative information is displayed; the sessions are otherwise identical. Our first set of results shows that the display is sufficient to induce an in-group bias, which can neither be attributed to mere categorization of subjects into groups nor to a stronger sense of group identity as a result of the display. Moreover, we corroborate existing results, which find that, relative to the baseline, the display is welfare reducing in the Trust game. Our second set of results shows that when comparing the allocators' decisions across the two games, a first mover's trust is reciprocated by the second mover independently of group identity.

I work in film and television as a camera assistant. I have a weird and sporadic work schedule. I'm not on call or anything like that just not a 9-5 kinda dude.
I'm looking for someone to establish a relationship with, not into one night stands.
I watch comedies mostly but I'll watch almost anything if you tell me it's good.
If you owned big shiny tunes 2 you understand where my music tastes come from. I listen to pretty much anything though.
