Rumor Roundup
Thursday, December 6
The Winter Meetings are winding down, but along with a slew of signings, Wednesday also brought a healthy dose of intrigue. Here's a look at the latest developments from Nashville, as those in attendance begin packing their bags and preparing to fly home:
Royals met Wednesday night, focusing on James Shields
Shields, who turns 31 two weeks from today, is a logical target for the Royals because of his durability and team-friendly contract. He has amassed at least 200 innings in each of the last six seasons—including more than 475 combined frames in 2011 and 2012—and is set to earn just $9 million next year, followed by a $12 million club option for 2014. Compared with a spending environment that just awarded $16 million over two years to Joe Blanton, that $21 million payout is chump change.
For the privilege of acquiring an underpaid workhorse, the Rays expect the Royals to open up their farm and let general manager Andrew Friedman pick his favorite crops. The number-one crop, as Jason Parks and the prospect team attested on Monday, is right fielder Wil Myers, who was once considered untouchable, but is now believed to be on the table. Bob Dutton, the Royals beat writer for The Kansas City Star, tweeted in advance of the meeting that Moore "won't hesitate" to ship Myers to Tampa Bay for Shields. Alas, Friedman wants at least one additional piece.
Moore and company huddled in their suite last night to decide between three possible courses of action: to give in to the Rays' demands for Shields, to explore other trade options for a starting pitcher, or to find a way to court their top free-agent target, reported by Fox Sports' Jon Morosi to be former Tigers righty Anibal Sanchez. Besides Sanchez, the Royals have also been tied to third-tier starters such as Ryan Dempster, but they already nabbed one of those by retaining Jeremy Guthrie and have plenty of high-risk quantity to go with precious little consistent quality.
Of course, the Royals are not the only team that views Sanchez as the top consolation prize for those who cannot rival the Dodgers' and Rangers' coffers for Zack Greinke. Morosi tweeted on Tuesday that Sanchez is weighing "multiple five-year offers," and if Moore is going to win the bidding, he will need to shed payroll in short order.
Brewers, Royals need payroll space to accommodate free-agent starters
Although Moore is essentially down to one need, Melvin has other fish to fry, most notably finding a left-handed reliever in a fast-moving market. The Brewers non-tendered Manny Parra last week, dodging what would have been a $1.5-2 million arbitration bill, but in doing so created a void in a bullpen that was shaky throughout 2012. Chris Narveson is the only southpaw with major-league service time on Milwaukee's 40-man roster, and he missed most of last season while recovering from surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff. Miguel De Los Santos, who was plucked off waivers from the Rangers in September, spent the year in Double-A and must improve his control in order to prove worthy of a big-league assignment.
Four-way trade buzz continues despite apparent roadblocks
Amid all of the intrigue, the gist of the situation breaks down as follows:
As you can see in the above table, there is ample common ground between the reported parties, both in terms of needs and expendable commodities. Unfortunately, almost each permutation of the four-team structure must overcome the same impasses that have led Towers, who prefers to "deal directly," to entertain his sprightlier fellow GMs.
Although the odds of any such blockbuster being finalized are currently slim, the situation could evolve rapidly, with a variety of possible catalysts, two of which seem especially salient. If Greinke chooses to sign with the Dodgers, then Rangers GM Jon Daniels could ramp up his pursuit of a starter and become more amenable to parting with a young shortstop, a change of heart that would pique Towers' attention. Alternatively, if the Royals' attempt to land Shields falls short, then Moore could feel compelled to export Butler's $8 million 2013 salary, which in turn could motivate Zduriencik to put the wheels in motion on the version that utilizes the Mariners.
And, on top of all of its possible causes, if one of the deals is agreed upon, it could have far-reaching effects. If the Royals acquire Shields, then they would exit the free-agent pitcher market, potentially enabling the Brewers to find a starter that meets their budget. Or, if the Indians upgrade their rotation with a cost-controlled starter in exchange for Cabrera, then—after being rebuffed by Shane Victorino—they could emerge as the favorites for one of the top remaining free-agent outfielders, such as Michael Bourn or Nick Swisher.
With so many players' fates up in the air, for now, one thing is clear: The fun is only getting started. Just ask Elvis Andrus:

Now they just need to acquire Rays minor-league lefty Frank De Los Santos and they'll have a complete monopoly.

Illustrator Jane Pinkney was recently invited to be artist in residence at Nunnington Hall, North Yorkshire.
Pinkney is well known as the illustrator of books such as The Mice of Nibbling Village, Mouse Mischief and Mouse Time.
She grew up on the rural outskirts of Barnsley, Bradford and Middlesbrough. Her father's interest in botany inspired her own fascination with the natural world. Pinkney combined a prodigious talent for drawing with a vivid, nostalgic imagination.
Now her watercolours are being exhibitied for the first time in this selling exhibition at Nunnington, organised in collaboration with the Chris Beetles Gallery. The show includes both older work and new pictures inspired by the house.
The exhibition runs at Nunnington Hall from 9 August until 18 September 2011.
The book The Mice of Nibbling Village has also been brought out in a new edition by the National Trust.

In-person programs are postponed during the pandemic. Online workshops and community meetings are available. Please visit our FSS NEWS BLOG for updates and support. — Your friends at the Foundation for Shamanic Studies
Michael Harner's
Power Soul Retrieval Training™
Learning shamanism is not just a matter of acquiring methods, but also of increasing spiritual power and knowing how to use it. From the shamanic point of view, people who are not spiritually "power-filled" are prone to illness, accidents, and misfortune. Anyone who has had a traumatic experience may lose a portion of their soul, of their spiritual essence. There are also other reasons this may occur. In this workshop, participants will learn about soul loss and soul retrieval from a shamanic perspective. There will be a particular emphasis on the importance of shamanic power to do successful soul retrieval. Participants will also learn how to re-empower a client's soul after it has been returned so that the client is once again spiritually power-filled, leading to greater health and well-being. This soul retrieval training is based on worldwide core principles and methods. It does not require Western psychological perspectives and practices.
PREREQUISITE FSS WORKSHOPS: Because effective soul retrieval practice is based in shamanic power, which comes from strong connections with helping spirits and advanced practice in shamanism, participation in this program requires these prerequisites: 1. Shamanic Extraction Healing AND Shamanism, Dying, and Beyond; OR 2. Completion of the Two Week Shamanic Healing Intensive (offered annually on both coasts of the USA).
13 FSS Continuing Education (CE) Credits available. (Link for information on how to verify acceptance of FSS CE credits with your approval board.)
WHAT TO BRING. Please bring a rattle or a drum if you have one. Wear comfortable clothing, warm socks, and bring a bandanna, cushion and/or blanket (if the sponsor does not provide cushions), and a pen and notebook to record your journeys. (Electronic recording - audio, video, photographic - and the use of computers are not permitted during the workshop.)
What people are saying:
BACKGROUNDWe are the fortunate heirs of a great and venerable spiritual tradition, shamanism, many thousands of years old, with core principles and practices that are universal or common for one simple reason: they work. Among them is soul retrieval, found widely in shamanic cultures.
Dr. Harner learned how to do soul retrieval in 1961 while living among the Amazonian Conibo and brought it to the West. The Conibo taught him that every part of a person had its own soul, and that soul retrieval could be done for any portion of the person that had been injured or traumatized. In The Way of the Shaman,* he wrote of recovering "vital souls" to heal comatose persons and persons suffering from traumas, noting that this method can also be used "to heal patients by retrieving lost portions of their vital souls."
Michael began training students in soul retrieval at least as early as June 25 - 27, 1982, as part of an Intermediate Workshop (no longer existing under that name) inside a cave in Grottoes, Virginia. Among the 31 students in that memorable location was Dana Robinson, now a longtime FSS faculty member, who recalls:
"In Grottoes, we did a considerable amount of shamanic work inside a large cave that we walked into a couple of times each day. During one session in the cave, you taught us a soul retrieval technique, and we helped a young man who had spent some time in a mental institution years before.*The Way of the Shaman (HarperSanFrancisco edition, pages 71, 72, 93, 99; HarperOne edition, pages, 92, 119, 126.)
All of the Foundation's programs are based on Michael Harner's pioneering work in core shamanism - more than 50 years of research, experimentation, development, and teaching. The resulting workshops and training programs embody the authentic, ethical, and effective practice of shamanism and shamanic healing and are widely considered as unparalleled in the world.
FSS workshops are offered in the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. Use the links below to quickly check if this workshop is currently offered near you.

"All the stars are on the inside…"
– Blue Oyster Cult, Veteran of the Psychic Wars
Shortly after writing a piece for Modern Mythology on the somewhat obscured psychical basis of Napoleon Hill's famous 1937 work on the philosophy of success, Think and Grow Rich, I noticed that he had written another book the following year which was held from publication until 2011. Whatever surprise I may have had at the contents of Think and Grow Rich was minuscule compared to my surprise at finding his follow up book contained nothing less than a sustained dialogue with an entity that he identified as the Devil.
You can imagine why this might have been considered a bit controversial in 1938, and why his family withheld the publication of Outwitting the Devil, even after his death, until the book could be properly framed to avoid too much shock. The books contents are a fascinating look at the depth and social conscience of Hill's philosophy, which often get's shoved into the self help category, but I must save any reflections on that topic for another article.
My inquiries into the reception of Hill's philosophy within the business world lead to a fortuitous connection to Matthew Joyce, who was kind enough to respond to a HARO request that I sent out, and our conversations via email and over the phone opened up an entirely different understanding of the nature of intuition and the mind.

What was rumor yesterday is now fact. Madden NFL, Tiger Woods and NCAA Football games developer EA Tiburon is home to the latest casualties at Electronic Arts, though numbers were not disclosed.
The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that EA Tiburon's Craig Hagen confirmed that cuts were made to the 650-plus employee strong studio in Maitland, Florida, but would not provide specifics. Like cost-cutting measures said to be enacted at Sony and Microsoft, EA Tiburon may to freeze hiring and leave open positions unfilled.
EA announced plans to lay off some 1,000 employees and consolidate facilities in December.
Hagen did confirm that the franchises Tiburon is responsible for — Madden NFL, Tiger Woods PGA Tour and NCAA Football — would be staying with the studio.

After the Civil War in 1866, scouts from the North were sent by the Federal Government to the South to retrieve Union soldiers' bodies for burial in the United States National Cemetery. Confederate soldiers were left behind and to Southern women, this seemed like a lack of respect for their husbands and sons lying all over the battlefields and in mass graves far away from home. The neglect of Confederate dead fueled the fire of outrage among ex-Confederates, but most Alabamians were destitute and money was needed to bring their dead soldiers home. The women of Montgomery, Alabama responded.
Shelby Springs Confederate cemetery, Shelby Co., Alabama by Magnolia677 (Wikipedia)
Committee established to bring dead home and defray costs of decent burials
In 1866 a committee was formed by the ladies of Alabama in an effort to raise the funds needed to re-inter the bodies of their Confederate fallen in Alabama. After an emotional plea in the local paper, "the women of Montgomery, in answer to this call, filled the sacred halls of the old Court Street Methodist Church on that beautiful Monday morning on the sixteenth day of April, eighteen hundred, and sixty-six!"1
"On April 16, 1866, in Montgomery, a patriotic organization was founded as the result of an appeal of April 14, 1866, made by the Alabama historical and monumental society to the ladies of Montgomery to hold fairs, concerts, etc., in order to help in defraying the expenses necessary in the proper and decent burial of Alabama soldiers."
A meeting was held at 10 o'clock on the morning of April 14, of that year, at the Court Street Methodist church.
"At the meeting of the ladies of Montgomery held pursuant to notice at the Methodist Episcopal Chuch on Monday, the 16th day of April, 1866, to devise ways and means for raising funds to have the remains of Alabama soldiers, now lying scattered over the various battlefields of the war, collected and deposited in public burial grounds, or elsewhere, where they may be saved from neglect, Mrs. Judge Bibb was requested to preside over the meeting and Mrs. Dr. Baldwin requested to act as Secretary.
"The object of the meeting was explained Chair, and on motion of Mrs. Dr. Baldwin, a committee of five was appointed by the Chair to consider and report some plan that might best promote the objects of the meeting, and to recommend the names of suitable persons as permanent officers of this Society. The Chair appointed on this committee Mrs. Dr. Baldwin, Chairman; Mrs. Wm. Johnston, Mrs. Judge Rice, Mrs. Dr. Holt and Mrs. Dr. James Ware, who retire and after a consultation suggested the following names as permanent officers and on motion of Mrs. Wm. Pollard they were unanimously elected: Mrs. Judge Bibb, President; Mrs. Judge Phelan, Vice President; Mrs. Dr. Baldwin, Secretary; Mrs. E. C. Hannon, Treasurer.
This committee, after suggesting permanent officers, reported the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted.
Cemetery at Confederate Memorial Park, Marbury, Alabama (Library of Congress)
- RESOLVED, That it is the sacred duty of the people of the South to preserve from desecration and neglect the mortal remains of the brave men who fell in her cause, to cherish a grateful recollection of their heroic sacrifices and to perpetuate their memories.
- RESOLVED, That we earnestly request our country women to unite with us in our efforts to contribute all necessary means to provide a suitable resting place and burial for our noble and heroic dead; that we will not rest our labors until this sacred duty is performed.
- RESOLVED, That in order to raise funds to carry out the objects expressed in the foregoing resolutions, we constituted ourselves a Society to be styled "The Ladies Society for the Burial of Deceased Alabama Soldiers," and that we solicit voluntary contributions for the same; and that we will hold in this city on Tuesday, the first day of May next, and annually on the first day of May thereafter, and oftener if deemed expedient, exhibitions consisting of concerts, tableaux, juvenile recitations, songs, suppers, etc., to be regulated and determined by committees to be appointed for that purpose.
- RESOLVED, That to carry out these plans, an Executive Committee shall be appointed, which shall have the authority to appoint sub-committees and agents at their discretion.
- RESOLVED, That the President of this Society, together with the present resident ministers in charge of the different churches of this city and their successors in office, shall constitute a committee for the purpose of keeping and making proper application of the funds raised by this Society.
- RESOLVED, That any lady can become a member of this Society by registering her names and by paying into the treasury an annual assessment of one dollar.
- RESOLVED, That all clergymen or ministers of the gospel, shall be considered honorary members of this Society.
On motion of Mrs. Dr. Baldwin, the Chair was authorized to appoint and Executive Committee consisting of ten, whereupon the Chair appointed the following ladies: Mrs. Dr. Rambo, Chairman; Mrs. Jno. Elmore, Mrs. Wm. Pollard, Mrs. Dr. Wilson, Mrs. W. J. Bibb, Mrs. Hausman, Mrs. Mount, Mrs. Bugbee, Mrs. W. B. Bell, Mrs. Fort Hargrove, and Mrs. James Ware.
On motion, the Society adjourned to meet whenever requested by the President.
The association in 1866 appointed Dr. Samuel K. Cox as agent to visit different battlefields and ascertain the condition. Dr. Cox faithfully discharged these duties and in this way, the money was most judiciously spent in reburying and marking the graves of the Alabama soldiers at various places.
In 1868 the accumulations of the association were spent on headstones costing $5,600 and a monument and chapel costing $3,000, in the Montgomery Cemetery. It was not until 1876 that it was decided to do away with the May day offering always held on the first day of May. This original custom had been preserved through the ten long years of reconstruction.
Confederate Memorial Monument, Montgomery, Alabama 2010 (Photographer Carol Highsmith, Library of Congress)
On April 26, 1886, by invitation of the Monumental Association and the Ladies' memorial association, President Davis (President of the Confederacy) visited Montgomery and laid the foundation stone of the Confederate monument, on the Capitol grounds. Later the Monumental Association withdrew and deposited the amount of $6,777 with the Ladies' memorial association for the completion of this work. It was not until December 7, 1898, that the work was completed and the monument to the Confederate soldiers and sailors of Alabama was unveiled.
The Ladies Memorial Associations uniformly commemorated April 26 as Confederate Memorial Day in Alabama. Today, April 26th, "Confederate Memorial Day, also called Confederate Heroes Day in Texas, is a public holiday observed by the states of Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Texas since end of the American Civil War to remember the estimated 258,000 members of the Confederate States Army, Navy, Marines, and militia who died in the line of duty."2
Officers: Mrs. Judge B. S. Bibb, president; Mrs. Judge J. D. Phelan, vice president; Mrs. Dr. W. O. Baldwin, secretary; Rev. Dr. S. D. Cox, assistant secretary; Mrs. E. C. Hannon, treasurer.
Executive Committee: Mesdames Dr. Samuel Rambo, John Elmore, William Pollard, Dr. Wilson, W. J. Bibb, G. L. Mount, C. J. Hausman, Judge F. Bugbee, W. B. Bell, Fort Hargrove, James Ware.

Bibb, Mary Phelan, Priscilla Phelan, Bettie Bell, Ida E. Rice, Sallie Baldwin, Annie Goldthwaite.
Officers – 1921: Mrs. Mary Phelan Watt, president; Mrs. J. B. Allen, first vice-president; Mrs. J. T. Mapes, second vice-president; Mrs. C. A. Allen, recording secretary; Mrs. Edward R. Holt, treasurer; Mrs. Stephen Mitchell, historian; Mrs. A. H. McNeel, chaplain.
The exact date of the change of the name of the Society to "The Ladies' Memorial Association" is not known. The first use of the new name was in an article by Dr. Samuel K. Cox, in "The Mail" of December 22, 1866. This article was headed "Ladies Memorial Association," but no change in the name is found in the secretary's book until 1874. The ladies of this association met at the cemetery of April 26, 1866, for the purpose of decorating the graves of the soldiers, and on May 1 and 2 a festival was held at Concert and Estelle halls and the theatre, $3,000 being realized from this, the first venture of the association. Thus it will be seen that the Ladies memorial association was the outcome of the Alabama historical and monumental society.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke traveled to Capitol Hill Thursday morning for another appearance before the Joint Economic Committee of Congress. While his comments were carefully crafted so as not to rattle the markets, PIMCO CEO Mohamed El-Erian took to the Huffington Post to deconstruct the true meaning behind the politico speak.
"[Bernanke] delivered a careful and balanced view of the economy (a gradual healing in the context of a still-muted outlook growth and jobs), re-iterated the improved banking and financial conditions at home (stressing the major additions to bank capital), and referred to the strains in Europe (acknowledging that they act as a drag on the US economy)," El-Erian wrote.
The most interesting aspect, El-Erian noted, related to policy, specifically:
1. "Certainly in his written submission, but also in the oral responses to questions, Bernanke is trying hard to shift the focus from monetary policy to other areas (particularly fiscal)," according to El-Erian. "This speaks to his lack of specificity on future monetary policy actions and to his comment that he would feel much more comfortable if Congress were to take some of the policy burden off the Fed."
2. If this interpretation is correct, Bernanke is following the example of Mario Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB). "Draghi has been unusually vocal in recent weeks about the need for politicians in Europe to step up to the plate and deliver on their policy responsibilities; and he has been clear about the risk that relying just on the ECB may, in my words, again end up providing a bridge to nowhere."
3. This is all consistent with the growing view in both academic and policy circles that unusual central bank activism is becoming less effective over all. Indeed, El-Erian said, Bernanke referred to this in the Q and A, and this relates to both lower expected benefits and the risk of greater collateral damage and unintended consequences.
4. "Central bankers are becoming more nuanced and thus differentiating between the trio of policy willingness, ability and effectiveness. They are telling us that they are willing to do more if conditions deteriorate; the ability is there though impacted by imperfect policy instruments; and effectiveness is not what it used to be."
5. "There is a risk that central bankers may be ahead of some markets are at this stage," El-Erian concludes. "And to reinforce this, just witness the reaction to the announcement out of China earlier today regarding monetary policy changes there."
"With an understandable short-term mentality dominating—after all, so many macro factors are in flux these days (economic, financial and political) and thus an 'unusually uncertain' outlook—we should expect markets to continue to bundle what central bankers and others feel should be more differentiated," he wrote. "The likely upshot is continued volatility underpinned by alternating periods of risk-on and risk-off."

Shawn Mendes does not wash his face. I repeat, Shawn Mendes does not wash his face...or so he says.
Now, one might read that and say "ew," but if you're living your life according to Shawn's logic, washing your face is not necessary if you're leading a happy, healthy life.
"I'm not lying when I tell you guys that I just don't wash my face," he responded to a fan question about his skin care routine during a recent Q&A. "I meditate a lot. I think skin is very based on how you're feeling. You could rub dirt on your face, but if you're happy, you won't break out!"
"When you're unhappy, sad, or stressed I think that's when you break out the most," he continued. "So, honestly, do everything that will make you happier, I think."
The reactions to Shawn's, let's just say, bold statement were pretty much in line with what you'd expect them to be. Not only were fans shocked and, some even, appalled by the words that came out of his mouth — one fan can be heard saying in the video "I must be sad all the time" — many accused the 20-year-old singer of lying. Especially since there are tons of pictures of Shawn wearing face masks on the Internet, which fans deemed as proof that the "Nervous" singer does, in fact, do more than "be happy" to take take care of his skin.
Check out some of the funniest reactions to Shawn's "I don't wash my face" claim, below:

Topic: Star Wars Authors
I thought I'd start a thread (if there isn't one already), to discuss the authors behind EU novels...opinions about writing style and creative direction, and the like.
In part due to an inquiry as to my problems with Karen Traviss...which I will elucidate here, along with my opinion of three big name Star Wars authors that have contributed, for better or for worse, to the Star Wars Galaxy.
Yes, I have a problem with Karen Traviss; basically the same one that anyone who disliked the page from Bloodlines posted in a different thread. Personally, I was not one of those individuals who particullarly enjoyed the Republic Commando novels...I found the writing, while rife with great millitary references and presenting the Commando's as a real tactical unit, to be subpar...the storyline of Triple Zero at least. I admit it has been a while since I read that, and I have not read the other one published, but I don't exactly have a high opinion of her writing style...though it is better than some others, I admit.
Though really, I'd have to say the reason I dislike her, almost to the same level that I loathe Troy Denning, is how she has seemingly twisted the character of Boba Fett to meet her creative ideas regarding the Mandalorians...herself having been given full creative direction with their once-mysterious background. When reading that portion of Bloodlines, I could see the alterations clearly; references to Kamino, the cloners...tying himself to the Mandalorian connections behind the clone Commandos she created.
But more so...the dialogue between Fett and his prey, including his personal thoughts, does not reflect the Fett we've come to recognize from other source material; Tales of the Bounty Hunters, Bounty Hunter Wars, and the like. While it is really a matter of opinion....I just don't like the way she's going with the character, and don't particullarly enjoy her writing style. Though I may change my view after reading Bloodlines and the e-novela; yet I doubt that will happen.
Troy Denning, now. I despise his writing. As simple as that. More even so...the way that he promotes his own creative material above everything else, including characters that really should never have been kept around...his precious trio of Squibs, which we will no doubt see in his contribution to the Legacy arc.
When reading Denning...I don't know how he manages to do it, but he can suck all the life and vigor out of the story...what little story he has, anyway. It's odd, I don't find that with much star wars authors, but dialogue feels impersonal, disconnected...I'm not sure why, maybe it's just me.
After he wrote "Star by Star", which sadly, many fans consider to be the best novel in the NJO, he was summarily given a chance to write his own trilogy; I have no clue how he managed to wheedle that one in. For those of you who have read the Dark Nest arc...mediocre at best. Story wise, and writing wise. But all my opinion, yes.
Finishing now with my absolute favorite author...perhaps some of you have read his work. Matthew Stover, author of NJO: Traitor, Shatterpoint, and the novelization for Episode Three. He is truly remarkable among all Star Wars authors; while creative styles and writing techniques vary only slightly amonst most SW authors, with the exception of a few superior and inferior creations, Stover is on a completely different level. He writes incredibly different from the rest.
I can't say that it is easy to describe...you would have to read it to know what I'm talking about. Suffice to say, Traitor (besides Allston's duology), is the only NJO novel I find myself rereading, because I enjoyed it that much. I've probably read it eight times now, sadly. Shatterpoint was amazing; as much as many here dislike the infamous Mace Windu, I would recommend it as well.
And the Episode 3 novelization...wow. He took an (arguably) mediocre script and did something awesome with it. So much more than what happens in the movie...and I finally understand why Anakin fell to the dark side, after reading this.
Definetely my favorite; I only hope that he get's recognized for it, and contracted to write some more.
Now...opinons? Any SW authors you have a beef with/ enjoy?

Peter Harrold
Kirtland Hills Ohio
Eligible for draft:
Signed as free agent, 2006
190 lbs.
Prospect Talent Score
Probability of Success
2005-06: Harrold capped an outstanding four-year career at Boston College with his best season (points-wise) and captaining the Eagles to their 19th Frozen Four appearance. Harrold led all Boston College defensemen in scoring with 30 points (seven goals, 23 assists) and plus/minus (plus-24), playing in all 42 games. His goals, assists and points total are all career highs. His stellar senior performance as one of the nation's top defensemen earned him numerous honors including the Hockey East Defensive Defenseman of the Year and Boston College's John "Snooks" Kelley Award, which is presented to the player that best typifies Boston College hockey. Finished his career with 70 points (14 goals, 56 assists) and having played in 156 games. In addition to his excellence on the ice, Harrold also excelled in the classroom. A history major, he was a three time Hockey East All-Academic Team selection and captured Boston College's Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year award in 2004 as a sophomore and again this year as a senior.
2006-07: Harrold spent his first professional season with Manchester of the AHL. He was second amongst Manchester defenseman with 34 points in 62 games. He also contributed a phenomenal 11 points in 16 playoff games, leading all Monarch blueliners. Harrold also saw action in 2 games for Los Angeles, scoring two points and looking remarkably comfortable in the NHL.
2007-08: Harrold continues to sit on the cusp of making the NHL squad full time. He excelled in Manchester this season, second among all defensemen in scoring, and was a midseason call-up to Los Angeles for a handful of games. The veteran depth on the blueline in Los Angeles forced Harrold back to the minor leagues. Despite spending nearly half the season in Los Angeles, Harrold finished as the leading scoring defenseman for Manchester with nearly a point per game average.
Talent AnalysisWhile some deem Harrold as a defensive defenseman, he has shown to be almost equally adept on offensive as well. Harrold possesses excellent leadership qualities and is a player who leads by example.
Harrold is a tireless worker who is dependable and very skilled at both ends of the ice. He can play in any type of situation. Two attributes that have made Harrold a great defenseman are his great on-ice vision and awareness. His decision-making is one of his best characteristics. Harrold has a keen sense of not only knowing when to jump up into the play, but also doing so without it being at the expense of his defensive responsibilities. He is an outstanding skater who transitions remarkably well. He possesses excellent puck skills, demonstrating the ability to make beautiful tape-to-tape passes as well as great patience with the puck.

The current incarnation of "Blue," Lawrence Tech's Blue Devil mascot, was developed in 2010 by University Art Director Sofia Lulgjuraj with assistance from members of the Student Government and submission of student ideas and drawings.
He is depicted in both a sly and mischievous pose for use on athletic wear and for student activity and admissions purposes. The most recent costumed live action mascot debuted in 2017. Requests for "Blue" files should be directed to the Office of Marketing and Public Affairs at firstname.lastname@example.com or 248.204.2208.
Lawrence Tech's athletic nickname, the Blue Devils, was selected in 1935, the result of a spirited competition led by the student newspaper. Lawrence Tech's Blue Devil is without religious connotation and some early references stated that blue devils were "good" devils. The Blue Devil as a collegiate mascot is relatively rare nationally, although Duke University chose a similar mascot the decade before, honoring the courageous World War I French infantry contingent, the Chasseurs Alpins, nicknamed "les Diables Bleus."
Units of the French Blue Devils in their distinctive blue uniform with flowing cape and jaunty beret sparked public imagination touring the United States to raise money for the war effort. Irving Berlin captured their spirit in song, describing them as "strong and active, most attractive... those Devils, the Blue Devils of France."
It cannot be stated with certainty whether Lawrence Tech's adoption of the Blue Devil mascot came about through the previous selection of its blue and white colors, or was modeled on Duke's use of the name, the French troops, or some other factor. The name was particularly prominent when Lawrence Tech fielded nationally ranked basketball teams in the 1940s and 1950s, and is enjoying renewed popularity thanks to Lawrence Tech's reentry into NAIA athletics in 2011.

News Release 2011-51 | April 15, 2011
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Promotes Financial Literacy Event on Capitol Hill
WASHINGTON—The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency participated in the annual Financial Literacy Day on Capitol Hill event today to educate and support consumers of financial services. The event is held in conjunction with National Financial Literacy Month.
"Financial Literacy Day on Capitol Hill provides an opportunity for the OCC to provide our consumer information to congressional staff, federal agencies, banks, and the general public," said Acting Comptroller of the Currency John Walsh. "National banks often collaborate with community organizations on financial literacy and capability initiatives. Basic financial literacy and access to a bank account can be an important step to entering the financial mainstream."
The OCC encourages national banks to participate in community outreach programs and initiatives, through which banks may extend the reach of their products and services to low- and moderate income customers and to underbanked markets. At the same time, it may allow banks to earn positive consideration under the Community Reinvestment Act requirements.
During the event, OCC staff provided a number of the agency's publications on financial literacy, including a report on school-based bank savings programs, which helps students learn about the importance of saving and other money management skills, and the OCC's Community Developments newsletter. The newsletter describes financial literacy programs across the country that are operated by banks and their community partners. The OCC also distributed its most recent Financial Literacy Update. This bimonthly publication reports on upcoming financial literacy events, new programs, and related resource materials.
Visitors to the event also received information about the OCC's HelpWithMyBank.gov Website, which provides information to national banks customers. The Website provides over 250 common questions and answers covering such topics as credit cards, bank accounts, mortgages, consumer loans, insurance, identity theft, and safe deposit boxes. The site also includes links and references to financial information and an online consumer complaint form.

Smith & Wesson Receives M&P Pistol Order From Canada's Halton Regional Police Service
M&P Pistols Now Selected by Law Enforcement and Security Divisions in 13 Countries
SPRINGFIELD, Mass.—Smith & Wesson Corp., the legendary 156-year old firearms maker, announced today that it has secured an order from the Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) in Ontario, Canada, for 600 of the company's M&P40 polymer pistols. Police personnel in the three districts of HRPS, which encompasses the city of Burlington and the towns of Oakville, Milton and Halton Mills, will use the M&P40 as their primary sidearm, replacing competitive firearms currently used by the agency.
Smith & Wesson company officials also indicated that several international law enforcement agencies and security divisions, totaling over 5,000 officers in 13 countries, have now purchased M&P Series pistols for duty use. International law enforcement agencies that have selected the M&P40 pistol include the Gatineau Police Department in Quebec, Canada, and the Peel Regional Police Department in Ontario, Canada. Among the largest police agencies in Canada, both departments selected the M&P40 pistol after a testing and evaluation process that explored a number of competing products. Other calibers of the M&P polymer pistol series have been successful internationally as well. International agencies and security divisions that selected the 9mm, M&P9 pistol include the Administrative Department of Security (DAS) in Columbia, South America; Korea National Police in the Republic of Korea; Rhio Zone Regional Police in Belgium; Tranporte Police in Spain; Nuclear Security Agency in France; United Nations Security Force in the Netherlands; Lebanon Army and Security Forces and the Malaysia Prison Department. In addition, the M&P Pistol was selected by various police agencies in Mexico and Puerto Rico as well as by the Ministry of Interior (MOI) Agencies in both Italy and Thailand.
Officials at several law enforcement agencies indicated that the M&P pistol incorporated key features including ambidextrous controls an enhanced ergonomics as important factors in their decision making process. During the testing and evaluation periods conducted by each of the agencies, the M&P pistol won high marks in both performance and accuracy.
Leland Nichols, President and Chief Operating Officer of Smith & Wesson Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation, said, "As we continue to execute on our strategy to become a significant supplier of law enforcement and military products, we believe there are many opportunities for Smith & Wesson to continue to support police agencies and security divisions worldwide.

Hong Kong Department of State Background
U.S. Department of State Background Note
Hong Kong
Hong Kong's population has increased steadily over the past decade, reaching about 6.9 million by 2006. Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated areas in the world, with an overall density of some 6,250 people per square kilometer. Cantonese, the official Chinese language in Hong Kong, is spoken by most of the population. English, also an official language, is widely understood. It is spoken by more than one-third of the population. Every major religion is practiced freely in Hong Kong. All children are required by law to be in full-time education between the ages of 6 and 15. Preschool education for most children begins at age 3. Primary school begins normally at the age of 6 and lasts for 6 years. At about age 12, children progress to a 3-year course of junior secondary education. Most stay on for a 2-year senior secondary course, while others join full-time vocational training. More than 90% of children complete upper secondary education or equivalent vocational education.
According to archaeological studies initiated in the 1920s, human activity on Hong Kong dates back over five millennia. Excavated neolithic artifacts suggest an influence from northern Chinese stone-age cultures. The territory was settled by Han Chinese during the seventh century, A.D., evidenced by the discovery of an ancient tomb at Lei Cheung Uk in Kowloon. The first major migration from northern China to Hong Kong occurred during the Sung Dynasty (960-1279). The British East India Company made the first successful sea venture to China in 1699, and Hong Kong's trade with British merchants developed rapidly soon after. After the Chinese defeat in the First Opium War (1839-42), Hong Kong was ceded to Britain in 1842 under the Treaty of Nanking. Britain was granted a perpetual lease on the Kowloon Peninsula under the 1860 Convention of Beijing, which formally ended hostilities in the Second Opium War (1856-58). The United Kingdom, concerned that Hong Kong could not be defended unless surrounding areas also were under British control, executed a 99-year lease of the New Territories in 1898, significantly expanding the size of the Hong Kong colony.
In the late 19th century and early 20th centuries, Hong Kong developed as a warehousing and distribution center for U.K. trade with southern China. After the end of World War II and the communist takeover of Mainland China in 1949, hundreds of thousands of people fled from China to Hong Kong. Hong Kong became an economic success and a manufacturing, commercial, finance, and tourism center. High life expectancy, literacy, per capita income, and other socioeconomic measures attest to Hong Kong's achievements over the last five decades.
On July 1, 1997, China resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong, ending more than 150 years of British colonial rule. Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China with a degree of autonomy in all matters except foreign and defense affairs. According to the Sino-British Joint Declaration (1984) and the Basic Law, Hong Kong will retain its political, economic, and judicial systems and unique way of life for 50 years after reversion and will continue to participate in international agreements and organizations under the name, "Hong Kong, China."
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) is headed by Chief Executive Donald Tsang, who first took office in 2005 and whose current term ends in 2012. The Election Committee that votes on the Chief Executive is made up of approximately 800 Hong Kong residents from four constituency groups: commercial, industrial, and financial interests; professionals; labor, social services, and religious interests; and the legislature, the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and the P.R.C. National People's Congress.
In December 2006, supporters of pro-democracy Civic Party legislator Alan Leong won 134 seats in the Election Committee, enabling Leong to challenge incumbent Chief Executive Tsang's bid for a new five-year term in 2007. Tsang, with solid support from the pro-government and pro-business sectors, won the March 25, 2007 Election Committee vote with 649 of the 795 votes. Leong garnered 123 votes.
In July 2002, the Hong Kong Government implemented the Principal Officials Accountability System, which was designed to make the government more responsive to public concerns. Eleven political appointees, directly responsible to the Chief Executive, were added to run the 11 policy bureaus. Three other senior civil service positions--the Chief Secretary, Financial Secretary, and Justice Secretary--also were converted to political appointments.
While Hong Kong remains a free and open society where human rights are respected, courts are independent, and there is well-established respect for the rule of law, residents are limited in their ability to change their government, and the legislature is limited in its power to affect government policies. The September 12, 2004 Legislative Council elections were seen as generally free, open, and widely contested, although Hong Kong groups have alleged voter intimidation, manipulation, or pressure in connection with them.
In April 2004, the P.R.C. National People's Congress Standing Committee issued a decision on the scope and pace of constitutional reform, which laid out certain conditions for the process of democratic development. This decision precluded major changes to the electoral systems for the 2007 Chief Executive and 2008 Legislative Council elections, with the result that no significant reform of the electoral systems can be realized until the Chief Executive and Legislative Council elections scheduled for 2012.
In December 2005 the Legislative Council rejected a Hong Kong Government-proposed package of incremental reforms to the mechanisms for choosing the Chief Executive in 2007 and forming the Legislative Council in 2008. In mid-2007, the Hong Kong Government's Commission on Strategic Development is scheduled to issue new proposals to reform the Chief Executive and Legislative Council electoral mechanisms, with the "ultimate aim" of universal suffrage as prescribed by the Basic Law.

Hong Kong is one of the world's most open and dynamic economies. Hong Kong per capita GDP is comparable to other developed countries. Real GDP expanded by 6.8% in 2006 year-on-year, driven by thriving exports, vibrant inbound tourism and strong consumer spending. Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) caused the Hong Kong economy to shrink during the first half of 2003, and property prices had fallen 66% from their late 1997 peak, but have since rebounded by about 59% from that lower base. The unemployment rate declined to 4.3% in December 2006-February 2007, the lowest level since mid-1998. The surplus for fiscal year 2006-07 was $7.1 billion or 3.7% of GDP, attributed to the robust economy, increased corporate profits and salaries, the buoyant stock market, and a stable property market.
Hong Kong enjoys a number of economic strengths, including accumulated public and private wealth from decades of unprecedented growth, a sound banking system, virtually no public debt, a strong legal system, and an able and rigorously enforced anti-corruption regime. The need for economic restructuring poses difficult challenges and choices for the government. Hong Kong is endeavoring to improve its attractiveness as a commercial and trading center, especially after China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO), and continues to refine its financial architecture. The government is deepening its economic interaction with the Pearl River Delta in an effort to maintain Hong Kong's position as a gateway to China. These efforts include the conclusion of a free trade agreement with China, the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA), which applies zero tariffs to all Hong Kong-origin goods and preferential treatment in 27 service sectors. Hong Kong, along with the Macau SAR, is also participating in a new pan-Pearl River Delta trade block with nine Chinese provinces, which aims to lower trade barriers among members, standardize regulations, and improve infrastructure. U.S. companies have a generally favorable view of Hong Kong's business environment, including its legal system and the free flow of information, low taxation, and infrastructure. The American Chamber of Commerce's annual business confidence survey, released in December 2006, showed 100% of respondents had a "good" or "satisfactory" outlook for 2007. Survey results indicated a positive economic outlook through 2009.
On the international front, Hong Kong is a separate and active member of the WTO and the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, where it is an articulate and effective champion of free markets and the reduction of trade barriers. Hong Kong residents across the political spectrum supported China's accession to the WTO, believing this would open new opportunities on the mainland for local firms and stabilize relations between Hong Kong's two most important trade and investment partners, the United States and China.
Hong Kong's foreign relations and defense are the responsibility of China. Hong Kong is an independent customs territory and economic entity separate from the rest of China and is able to enter into international agreements on its own behalf in commercial and economic matters. Hong Kong, independently of China, participates as a full member of numerous international economic organizations including the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum (APEC), and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
U.S. policy toward Hong Kong, grounded in a determination to promote Hong Kong's prosperity, autonomy, and way of life, is stated in the U.S.-Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992. The United States maintains substantial economic and political interests in Hong Kong. The United States supports Hong Kong's autonomy by concluding and implementing bilateral agreements; promoting trade and investment; arranging high-level visits; broadening law enforcement cooperation; bolstering educational, academic, and cultural links; and supporting the large community of U.S. citizens and visitors.
Hong Kong is an active member of the global coalition against terrorism. Hong Kong has joined the Container Security Initiative and remains an important partner with regard to eliminating funding for terrorist networks and combating money laundering. Hong Kong has passed legislation designed to bring Hong Kong into compliance with applicable UN anti-terror resolutions and Financial Action Task Force recommendations.
The United States has substantial economic and social ties with Hong Kong. There are some 1,100 U.S. firms, including 889 regional operations (295 regional headquarters and 594 regional offices), and about 54,000 American residents in Hong Kong. According to U.S. Government statistics, U.S. exports to Hong Kong totaled $17.8 billion in 2006. U.S. direct investment in Hong Kong at the end of 2005 totaled about $37.9 billion, making the United States one of Hong Kong's largest investors, along with China, Japan, and the Netherlands.
The United States and Hong Kong signed a civil aviation agreement in October 2002, which significantly liberalized the aviation market. Hong Kong enjoys a high degree of autonomy as a separate customs territory, with no changes to borders, staffing, or technology export controls since the 1997 handover. Intellectual property rights (IPR) protection has improved substantially in recent years and the introduction of effective new legislation to control illicit production and improved enforcement has now made Hong Kong a regional model for effective IPR protection. The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative and other U.S. agencies now regularly cite Hong Kong as an example for others.
The Hong Kong Government maintains three Economic and Trade Offices in the United States. Addresses, telephone numbers, and web sites for these offices are listed below:

Here are the facts and trivia that people are buzzing about.

A new online dating brand is facing an unlikely predicament: It's entirely too popular with women.
MyLovelyParent, a site on which adult children help their single parents find companionship, launched in October to such positive reviews that it led to a flurry of registrations worldwide. While that'd normally be good news for a fledgling business, the ratio of women to men is about 4:1 - a problematic phenomenon for a matchmaking site.
Although demographics might divine this dating dilemma - in Canada, for instance, seven in 10 male seniors live as part of a couple, compared to just four in 10 female seniors - site founder Matt Connolly believes life expectancy isn't the whole story.
"I think it has much more to do with confidence," says Connolly. "The older we get as chaps, the less confident we become in meeting people. As a result, the fear of failure builds up and we eventually stop trying."
Enter Older Gent Academy, an initiative launching in January that aims to awaken male seniors' inner Clark Gable. The first 1,000 dads registered get free membership on MyLovelyParent - for as long as it takes to find someone special - and four times a year, one of them will receive complementary coaching and a bespoke tailored suit.
Connolly, a 35-year-old entrepreneur from the U.K., confesses his reason for wanting more men on the site is somewhat self-serving.
"It sounds like a PR cliche, but my mum literally said to me, 'Can you help me find my knight in shining armour?'" he recalls. "It was the lightbulb moment that made me realize there was probably a whole stack of other people who'd love for their single parent to have companionship."
Connolly's first order of business in creating MyLovelyParent was simplicity, as he'd found competitor sites to be either too complex or too ethically murky to recommend to his mother.
A single parent must be signed-up by their adult child, who initiates the process by writing their mom or dad's profile. The parent is then invited to finish that profile and peruse the site, with potential love connections flagged to them by their child (the amount of control the child has over the process from that point is determined by the parent).
Jane Whaley, a 59-year-old member from Oregon, says reading her 19-year-old son's description of her was "truly priceless."
"I am so moved by his testimonial about me, which would not have happened without (the site)," says Whaley. "Even if I don't meet a mate, it means so much to hear my son's view of me."
Despite limited marketing outside the U.K., MyLovelyParent has seen roughly 800 profiles created in seven countries, including Canada. Connolly is hopeful those numbers will continue to grow after Older Gent Academy launches in the New Year.
"There are already hundreds of messages being exchanged between our members, which just melts my heart. That says to me that it works," says Connolly, whose background is in digital innovation. "I want to transform people's lives for the better."

In Jake Bernstein's recent article, "Death Takes a Policy," he writes about Joseph Caramadre, a Rhode Island financial planner and attorney whose close reading of the law has instead gotten him in deep trouble with it. Caramadre determined that when it came to variable annuities, Rhode Island had no insurable interest requirement statue, and so he devised a scheme whereby he could get elderly and dying people to take out variable annuities that he would then sell to investors or simply keep himself. The typical enticement for this was a check for $2,000, and the transaction was typically done under the guise of Caramadre acting as a self-styled "charitable organization" coming to give people in need a few much-needed dollars.
As you might imagine, insurers cried foul and Caramadre and his associates were investigated on a range of criminal charges. Based on my own personal reading of things, I can't imagine Caramadre going down for much of anything. One of the folks who worked with him, however, and appears to have forged signatures for annuitants in at least one occasion, might be looking at a conviction. But this is all speculative; we won't know what happens to Caramadre until his case goes to trial.
The Caramadre case touches multiple nerves for me. My first reaction to it is distaste. What Caramadre is doing strikes me as deeply creepy and even predatory, something Caramadre himself would probably not deny. To him, he is clearly making money off of the dead. But he figures, funeral homes and cemeteries do as well, so why not him? That is not a sufficient explanation for me, but I can see how it might be for him. Basing one's business off of the death of others does come off as cruel and callous on one hand, but if you extrapolate that out, isn't that what life insurance really is? And who in their right mind would demonize that business as creepy? Or predatory? Just the opposite; there is a nobility in selling products to people that maintain families and businesses after a passing.
My second reaction to Caramadre is one of grudging respect. I still don't particularly care for the fact that his business model is based entirely on fitting through a little loophole in the law. My gut tells me there is no real insurable interest with his clients, and that there should be. He is clearly using variable annuities in a way contrary to how they were intended to be used. That may not make it right. But does that make it illegal? According to him, no; the law lets him do this. And this is an important distinction to make, since Caramadre is not openly flouting the law here. He is openly being coy with it, but still operating within what he thinks is legal. There is something a little frustrating and off-putting about one who is taking advantage of shortcomings in the law for personal gain when a strong moral code would prevent doing otherwise. Caramadre strikes me as a shady guy. But he also strikes me as somebody whose greatest crime is embarrassing the insurance industry by figuring out how to turn its rules against itself. I am reminded of the life settlements industry, and how it basically got rolling by doing the same kind of thing. Maybe not quite as openly self-serving, but it still was based on a close reading of the law and an inventive use of insurability rules that eventually, the industry had to accept. Caramadre might be the guy on the hot seat now for it, but I can also see him being the guy who kickstarts an entirely new alternative insurance market, especially if the criminal charges against him don't stick.
My third reaction to Caramadre is that his legal prosecution is a loaded one, and one that reminds me of the prosecution of Glenn Neasham. Neasham, as I'm sure you are aware, was hit for counts of felony theft after he sold an annuity to an old woman with dementia. Neasham contends he did not think she was mentally impaired at the time, and the product he sold her made her tens of thousands of dollars, so it's a little hard to see how he could have victimized her. Not so for his prosecutors, who were representing a part of California with a large senior population and strong laws designed to make it easy to go after any kind of financial advisor acting badly. There is a reason why Neasham's case isn't repeating itself across the country, and it's because not everywhere rigs the system to crush agents so easily. I am not saying Rhode Island is, but it would certainly appear that the prosecution there has turned a friendly ear to those insurance companies offended by Caramadre's distasteful ingenuity, and have decided to make an example out of him. We saw this with life settlements; rather than admit that they built shoddy rules for themselves, insurers are trying to punish those who go through the loopholes, when what they ought to do is tighten the rules and make their products either unattractive to resell or price them in such a way that their resale ultimately benefits the insurer somehow. This is all easier said than done, but it's a more constructive way to approach it than by going to court with all of the Caramadres of the world. Especially if those cases don't produce wins for the industry.
I remember, when first hearing about Glenn Neasham, to having a pretty negative gut reaction to the guy and what he did, and I automatically assumed he deserved what he was getting. But he also deserved the benefit of the doubt, and the closer I looked at his case, the more convinced I was that the guy was getting done dirty by the law. The annuities business has a reputation for shady operators selling unneeded financial products to little old ladies who don't need them. I don't think this reputation is necessarily fair or accurate, but for those in the public who know annuities, plenty of them think of that negative stereotype. Enough agents have been caught doing enough inappropriate behavior for a prejudice to arise regarding suitability. So I can see how folks might look at a guy like Caramadre, who is so unrepentant about how he does his business, and think he's the bad guy. But look closer. Ask yourself, is he victimizing people? Is there really a suitability issue here? Or is he taking advantage of a system that created the rules by which Caramadre is playing? And most of all, is Caramadre just a sign of things to come for the variable annuities market?
If this is a harbinger of the future of annuities, then perhaps the industry would do well to study how life settlements turned out. After so much legal and political wrangling, the industry was still left with a practice it found objectionable, but legally defensible. And what is more, it is an entire business that Alan Buerger himself says could be subverted if insurers simply paid out more on their own policies. One wonders if annuity writers could deal with the Caramadres of tomorrow simply by refining their products rather than trying to enforce against those seeking to make inventive use out of them. History would suggest so.

1 Tonne Axle-Less Trailer Suspension
The 1 Tonne HD (2200lbs) series Axle-Less trailer suspension is the suspension of choice for avid off-roaders. In addition to heavy-gage steel to support the increased demands of a trailer used on off-road terrain, we've lengthened the trailing arm. A longer trailing arm allows for more suspension travel, which means better ride quality.
This premium HD Axle-less trailer suspension – designed for off-road use – comes with a 4" lift spindle. Now your trailer can maintain the same ground clearance as the tow vehicle. The spindle is longer to accommodate wider, off-road tires...for trailers that won't see much of the pavement. For added braking power, a brake flange is included giving you the option to install brakes.
Due to higher than anticipated volumes we're currently experiencing a 2 to 3 week lead time.
The genius of the Axle-Less trailer suspension has more to do with what is not there than what is:
- Less hassle! Experience fewer limitations by gaining more ground clearance.
- Less time! You can retrofit any light-duty trailer without waiting for an axle that fits.
- Less road shock! You will maintain the smoothest ride with or without a load.
- Less danger! An independent suspension gives you better control of your trailer.
The Axle-Less suspension give you more: More fun, more adventure and more peace of mind.
- 4" Lift For Maximum Ground Clearance
- Long Spindle Arms For Wide Wheel & Tire Combos
- Long Trailing Arm For Added Suspension Travel
- Extra Braking Power With Included Brake Flange
- No Thru Axle = No Hang Ups
- Smooth Quiet Ride Empty & Loaded
- Durable Powder Coat Finish
- Easy Bolt-On Installation
Available accessories:
- 3500 lb. Idler Hubs - 5x4.5 Bolt Pattern - Part# 84545_2
- 3500 lb. Idler Hubs - 6x5.5 Bolt Pattern - Part# 84655_2
- 3500 lb. Electric Brake Hubs - 5x4.5 Bolt Pattern - Part# 94545PR
- 3500 lb. Electric Brake Hubs - 5x5 Bolt Pattern - Part# 94550PR
- 3500 lb. Electric Brake Hubs - 6x5.5 Bolt Pattern - Part# 94655PR
Does it come as a pair or just one side?
When you purchase one Axle-Less trailer suspension, you always get enough for both sides of the trailer. The price you see advertised includes both left side and right side.
Is the capacity rating for Axle-Less suspensions for one side or both?
The capacity rating represents one complete Axle-Less suspension, i.e. both sides.
Why are some Axle-Less suspensions marked 'HD'?
The "HD" in an Axle-Less part number stands for heavy-duty. The HD versions are more robust compared to their regular-duty counterparts with the same nominal load rating. For example, ASR2000S and ASR2KHD both have the same load rating (2000 lbs) even though the first one is regular-duty and the second one is heavy-duty. HD suspensions are constructed using thicker steel making them much stronger. Therefore, they withstand more abuse, harsher conditions, and more dynamic loads. HD suspensions are recommended for off-road applications.
Do I need to do anything special to my trailer frame to use the Axle-Less suspension?
First of all, you need to make sure the frame is perfectly square. Secondly, some trailer frames require additional support (like an extension plate to allow bolts to be installed vertically). This would eliminate the use of a cross-member, allowing you to achieve maximum ground clearance.
Does the Axle-Less trailer suspension require any maintenance?
Yes. Some maintenance is required for the Axle-Less suspension such as greasing the pivot bushings and wheel bearings. For detailed maintenance information, refer to the maintenance notes included with the installation instructions.
What kind of warranty comes with the Axle-Less trailer suspension?
The Axle-Less trailer suspension comes with a full 3-year limited warranty.
What's the difference between an Axle-Less suspension and a torsion suspension?
Axle-Less trailer suspensions are fully independent and do not require an axle. A torsion trailer suspension, on the other hand, is housed within an axle tube.
What are Axle-Less trailer suspension springs made from?
Axle-Less jounce and rebound springs are made from natural rubber, with all the unique characteristics inherent in rubber springs.
