Has the outperformance of US equities reached a tipping point?
US equities have enjoyed robust gains in recent years, but will the strength of the US dollar, lower commodity prices and cheaper valuations elsewhere mean that investors will find better value in in other international stock markets?
Contributes to
Unstructured Learning Time
As we enter the seventh year of the US bull market, we have likely reached a tipping point where international equities will begin to generate superior returns to US equities.
The link to the full analysis can be found at the bottom of this page, but in summary, there are a number of factors that make a powerful case for non-US equities.
1) Competitiveness
Firstly, the outperformance of US equities in recent years has in no small part been a reflection of a competitive and flexible US economy when compared to the more rigid labour laws of other countries, especially Europe.
However, this may all be about to change as a combination of wage restraint in Japan and Europe, and the recent strengthening of the US dollar, has had a dramatic effect on relative labour costs and served to improve the competitiveness of these two major regions.
How dollar strength is increasing labour costs in the US compared with Japan
Source: National Statistics, Morgan Stanley, Schroders. February 2015
We are already seeing the evidence of this change in competitiveness reflected in economies' and corporates' growth rates. Cost competitiveness is helping companies to grow market share (sometimes at the expense of US competitors) and exports are accelerating in both Europe and Japan.
Meanwhile, the stronger dollar is beginning to inflict some pain on corporate America and this is only set to worsen as a significant part of the currency appreciation has been very recent.
2) The commodities dividend
The second factor we believe will contribute to the performance of non-US equities is the commodities dividend.
While convention has it that the US consumer will be the biggest beneficiary of lower oil prices, most of the major investable regions outside of the US (including Japan, the eurozone, China and India) also stand to benefit as they are all large commodity importers.
In fact, UBS estimates that a $10 decline in oil prices will boost European GDP growth by 0.2%, compared to a gain of 0.1% of GDP growth in the US.
3) Valuations
Finally, international equity markets are far more attractively valued than their US counterparts, both in absolute terms and relative to history on a variety of measures. The opportunity then for further re-rating in international shares seems higher than for US equities at this point.
We believe that against this backdrop, equity market leadership is likely to shift away from the US. This is fertile ground for bottom-up stockpickers able to exploit a range of opportunities from the breadth of international or global markets.

looks goodany problems getting two of those cables into the neutrik end?
Do you think the low-noise version is necessary? From their description, the regular and flexible ones (considerably less expensive than the low-noise) are good for "hi-fidelity professional audio"...
I've no idea, but was wondering the same. Maybe one of the more electronically astute around here will comment.That source I linked is primarily focused on supplying lab instrumentation interconnects, where the bandwidth of the signal may be far greater than that of an audio signal. Pure speculation on my part, but low-noise requirements for some of those kinds of applications may be far more demanding than what we need.
.. or I'll order female-dot terminated cables from here- http://www.cdint.com/catalog/category/Cables/10-32+female/to+10-32+female/RG188+low+noise which are twice the length I need, cut them in half, and re-terminate the cut ends to the multi-pin mini XLR.Found that source a while ago but have not ordered cables from them yet.

Book Review: The Golden Door by Emily Rodda
Review by Carissa Thorp
Rye seeks to leave Weld, the isolated walled city he calls home, in search of his brothers who left years ago to find and stop the evil source of the Skimmers, flying creatures that enter the city every night and kill anyone they can. He's joined by Sonia, a young girl orphaned by the Skimmers, and they emerge on the other side of The Golden Door, they don't know where, in a land that is unlike anything they were brought up to expect of the Barbarian lands. Adventures ensue and new friends are made.
I've never read a book by Emily Rodda before, in spite of knowing her name and popularity. Having seen the television series based on her Deltora Quest series, though, I can see similarities between the two tales; quests, young leads, magical objects, puzzles, etc. Thankfully, fans of her previous work should enjoy this series without worrying too much about "sameness", and as a new reader, I found The Golden Door immediately appealing. Rodda's skill as a writer is very much in evidence. It's lovely to start a book and feel drawn in, effortlessly, to a tale of likeable characters in interesting situations. I particularly liked the way the consequences of Rye's early life in an enclosed city (never seeing or experiencing hills, for example) are explored. A good place to start reading Rodda if you or the young people in your life never have before.

Book Review | The Dervish House by Ian McDonald
Review by Christine Tursky Gordon
Turkey in 2027 is a member of the EU, the meeting point of West and East, and of Christianity and Islam, a place of nanotech sweatshops, power struggles, hidden and open religious history, and the driving pulse of business amongst the heat and the smell of spices. Cosmopolitan, crowded, dynamic Istanbul seeps through on every page; McDonald captures the culture, the voice, and the atmosphere of the city just as evocatively as he did for readers in Brasyl.
In The Dervish House McDonald pulls together disparate characters whose stories dovetail in a seven-day-long ticking clock buildup of tension. A boy with a damaged heart sees a terrorist explosion on a tram through the remote camera on his BitBot and realises that someone else also has a hidden robot watching those who flee the aftermath. Necdet runs from the tram, amazed to be alive, but soon starts seeing djinns and spirits interwoven with the scenes of his daily life. Leyla misses the explosion, misses her job interview but finds work in a relative's nanoware startup and must negotiate with both family and local criminal groups to secure funding. Adnan snorts nanoware brain enhancers just like his commodity trader colleagues, but he plans a massive fraud involving radioactive Iranian gas while his antique trader wife Ayse is offered an outrageous sum to quietly find a mythical artefact. Greek-out-of-water Georgios is a retired economics professor with a poisoned past of radical activism who is suddenly, incongruously invited to join a government think tank.
The implications of the terrorist attack trickle slowly into the open as the characters follow their own paths, looming larger and darker than anything the government could have expected. McDonald has created a rich, vivid thriller that is beautifully written.

Book Review | Sunshine State by James Miller
Review by Lachlan Huddy
It's all looking rosy for Mark Burrows at the outset of this near-future fever dream. Sure, there's some unfortunate more-or-less-global devastation wrought by climate change, but Burrows's native Britain has escaped the worst of it and the retired spy is looking forward to fatherhood. Cue the One Last Job. Burrows is called back into service and shipped out to Florida—better known now as the Storm Zone care of, well, guess—in pursuit of his ex-comrade and brother-in-law, Charles Ashe. Ashe has become something of a messiah to the various minorities and extremist groups who, unwelcome in an America now run by iron-fisted evangelical Christians, call the Storm Zone home. So begins Burrows's descent into, yes, the heart of darkness. Nothing wrong with ripping off an English classic so long as your head and heart's in the right place, and Miller's intentions are fittingly noble in seeking to highlight the dangerous political forces at war for America's soul. Of course Sunshine State suffers in comparison to its forebears (Ashe's sympathetic villain also owes much to Milton's Lucifer of Paradise Lost), but playing runner-up to the canon is no shameful thing. Some have complained of Miller's overwrought prose, and to be sure the pages turn a little purple at times, but it isn't wanton; the technique builds atmosphere and sucks the reader irrevocably into the mind of a maddening man and a mad, mad world.

Book Review: Cryoburn by Lois McMaster Bujold
Review by Carissa Thorp
Miles Vorkosigan, Imperial Auditor (ie Investigator) of Barrayar, travels to the planet Kibou-daini to look into the business of cryo-preservation, an industry which is an obsession on Kibou-daini and has shaped the planet's culture and political structure for ill. Fate provides Miles with access to the real story behind the PR and gives him the opportunity to protect Barrayar's interests as well as undo an injustice.
I'm a big fan of Bujold and have been really looking forward to another Vorkosigan novel. It was worth the wait, especially because of the promising complications birthed by this novel for future books. However, this isn't a book I'd recommend to someone who hasn't read any Vorkosigan books before. Thankfully, because of the generosity and forward thinking of Baen and Bujold, I can let readers know that all Bujold's novels in this universe have been made available to download as ebooks, in a variety of formats, providing newcomers a way to try out the series, become addicted from the first chapter, then go out and buy all the books in hard copy, including Cryoburn. Which one do I recommend you start with? Cordelia's Honor, an omnibus edition that includes the novels Shards of Honor and Barrayar, starring Miles' mother and father; they provide a great background of the "universe" and the history of major series characters. It's where I started and they remain among my favourites.

Sustained strength in the German economy will put pressure on Berlin to provide more financial aid to indebted eurozone partners, analysts say.
The biggest European economy grew by 1.5 percent in the first three months of the year from the previous quarter, an official estimate showed last week, a pace that surprised financial markets.
The other eurozone heavyweight, France, reported a solid advance of 1 percent, while the economy in Spain, considered a crucial buffer to the bloc's debt crisis, advanced by a more modest 0.3 percent.
Germany was boosted by stronger domestic demand and a catch-up effect after the weak end to last year, and retained its role as Europe's economic locomotive.
German Vice Chancellor Philipp Roesler welcomed the news, but it also means Berlin would find it harder to refuse aid to partners like Greece and Portugal as they struggle with persistent debt crises.
"This will add to the pressure on Germany to agree to new support loans for Greece, which will probably be unable to return to the capital market in early 2012 as planned," Commerzbank chief economist Joerg Kraemer said.
Greece already benefits from a financial aid package worth 110 billion euros (US$155 billion) from the EU and IMF, but markets estimate it will need up to 60 billion euros in additional aid.
With Germany seemingly set for economic growth of about 3 percent this year, which would generate higher tax receipts and curb unemployment, opposing aid for its partners could be hard to justify.
Another economist underscored that the EU rescue packages had helped prevent Germany from suffering a "double dip" recession following its worst post-war slump in 2008 to 2009.
"Safety nets offered to Greece and other small peripheral countries have shielded the core European upswing from the vicious financial crisis at the fringes of Europe," Berenberg Bank's senior economist Holger Schmieding said.
"Germany must continue to do its bit to contain the eurozone debt crisis," he said, if only to protect its own financial sector, which holds a lot of the debt issued by Greece and other peripheral countries.
Falling German unemployment should help German officials make the case to a public that is generally opposed to additional financial aid for southern countries, where retirement ages can be much lower, for example.
"The message is taken in more easily when one is working and has rising revenues," Barclays Capital economist Frank Engels said.
So far, however, German politicians have been loath to make the case for more aid to a public and parliament that is in some cases quite hostile to the idea.
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, from the conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU), began the task last week by telling lawmakers that Greece would have to accept clear conditions in exchange for fresh aid.
"Among German politicians, no one really wants to hear about more help" after already approving aid for Greece, Ireland and Portugal, Engels said.
"'Rescue' is a nice word, but Germans cannot hear it any more," the center-left weekly Die Zeit wrote in an editorial.
Among members of the economically liberal Free Democratic Party, the CDU's junior coalition partners, more than a dozen MPs have refused to consider more aid and also oppose a mooted permanent rescue mechanism for the eurozone.

(ChicagoTribune) Facing a media throng just days before competing for a national championship, Notre Dame's star linebacker Manti Te'o fielded a question about the death of his girlfriend and his ability to rise above the tragedy.
It was a benign question, one he had heard dozen of times before as Lennay Kekua's passing had been woven so tightly into the narrative of his triumphant senior year. And he answered it as he always had.
But at that time, Te'o — and university officials — knew there was far more to the story than platitudes about football and family.
A week earlier, on Dec. 26, the Heisman Trophy runner-up told Notre Dame officials that his girlfriend did not exist and that he was a victim of an elaborate Internet hoax, the school said Wednesday.
"In many ways, Manti was the perfect mark because he is a guy who is so willing to believe in others and so ready to help, that as this hoax played out in a way that called upon those tendencies of Manti, it roped him more and more into the trap," Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick said. "He was not a person who would have a second thought about offering his assistance and help."
Swarbrick outlined a bizarre story in which Te'o learned his girlfriend never existed about three months after her supposed death. The player received a phone call Dec. 6, while at an awards show, from what he believed was Kekua's old cellphone number. The woman on the other end — in a voice he recognized as Kekua's — told him that she wasn't dead.
Two days after Te'o was thrown for a loop by a dead girlfriend rising from the grave, here is how he answered a question about charity work he had performed this year.
"I worked with Relay for Life stuff," he said. "I really got hit with cancer. I don't like cancer at all. I lost both my grandparents and my girlfriend to cancer."
She later tried to rekindle the relationship, Swarbrick said.
"Every single thing about this, until that day in the first week of December, was real to Manti," Swarbrick said. "There was no suspicion it wasn't. No belief it might not be. And so the pain was real. The grief was real. The affection was real. That's the nature of this sad, cruel game."
Swarbrick likened the hoax to the movie "Catfish," in which a person creates a fake persona with someone else's picture, then dupes another person into a romantic relationship. The film spurred a popular MTV show by the same name that investigates online relationships to see if the participants are real.
Te'o notified his coaches of the situation Dec. 26, after discussing it with his parents over the Christmas holiday. Swarbrick said he met with the player twice and found his story about the exclusively online and telephonic relationship to be consistent. Te'o and Kekua never met face to face, Swarbrick said.
"Several meetings were set up where Lennay never showed," he said.
Kekua's purported passing came within 48 hours of the real death of Te'o's grandmother, Annette Santiago, in September. That double loss vaulted Te'o onto the cover of Sports Illustrated and, along with Notre Dame's eventual undefeated regular season, into the Heisman Trophy mix.
Te'o finished second in that voting to Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, tying for the best finish ever by a pure defender.
The scam does more than shatter a college football fairy tale. It also leaves a black mark on sports journalism, as many news outlets — including the Tribune — ran stories about Kekua's passing without verifying her death. There was no published obituary for Kekua and no California driver's license issued to anyone with that name. The Social Security Administration database had no record of anyone with the surname Kekua dying in 2012.
Yet respected national publications such as Sports Illustrated, the Los Angeles Times and The New York Times all ran stories about Te'o's heartbreak. The Chicago Tribune published 15 articles mentioning her death in the past four months.
An Academic All-American with a 3.3 grade-point average, Te'o, 21, released a statement Wednesday insisting that he had been duped into having a long-term, "emotional relationship" with an Internet impostor. Describing the situation as "painful and humiliating," Te'o said he believed he maintained an authentic relationship with Kekua over the phone and via the Internet.
"To think that I shared … my happiness about my relationship and details that I thought to be true about her just makes me sick. I hope that people can understand how trying and confusing this whole experience has been," the statement read.
Notre Dame hired a private investigator, who produced a final report on Jan. 4, and the university shared the findings with the Te'o family Jan. 5 during the run-up to the BCS championship game against Alabama. Swarbrick said he believed the Te'os were poised to release the story next week before the sports website Deadspin broke it.
The independent investigation revealed online "chatter" among the alleged perpetrators, Swarbrick said, that demonstrated "the joy they were taking" in fooling Te'o. The pranksters even made sure that the player sent white roses in her honor and told him what time they planned to close her casket.
"There was a place to send flowers," Swarbrick said. "There was no detail of the hoax left undone."
The Deadspin story, however, is raising questions about Te'o's involvement in the ruse. The site says Kekua's purported Twitter account was created by a California man with ties to the linebacker and his family. An unnamed source suggested the death was a publicity stunt hatched by Te'o and his West Coast counterpart, according to Deadspin.
At the very least, Te'o and his family have made the truth difficult to decipher because they made references to Te'o meeting Kekua during their courtship. In October, for example, Te'o described her to ESPN as the most beautiful person he had ever met, and his father told the South Bend Tribune in October that Kekua had traveled to Hawaii, Te'o's home state, "every once in a while … so he would meet with her there."
When asked about rising above the tragedy in the days before the game, Te'o said, "I think whenever you're in football, it takes your mind off a lot of things. You know this team is very special to me and the guys on it have been there for me through the good times and the bad times."
Notre Dame acknowledged Wednesday that it did not encourage the player to set the record straight before the title game. Instead, officials sat silent while reporters prepared stories about Kekua's fake death, fake leukemia and fake Stanford degree.
"We encouraged him to try to focus forward and focus on the game," Swarbrick said.

I have followed the success of the Royal Anthropological Institute's A-level Anthropology Program and had hoped to some day participate in a similar U.S. based program, whenever one is developed. I am pleased that AAA is taking the lead with this concept and look forward to many more opportunities to increase the awareness of Anthropology as a career to young people in the U.S.
During the Anthropologists Back to School initiative, I will lead a program on Peoples and Cultures of the Pacific at The Field Museum. I plan to discuss my interests in the culture and daily lives of Native Hawaiian people living in the Pacific today. Students will have the opportunity to participate in a cross-cultural exchange activity with Hawaiian youth while at the same time learning "what" anthropologists do and "how" they go about collecting research data.
Introducing young people in primary and secondary schools to Anthropology will increase their thinking about other cultures. Through their engagement with this program, they will develop a deeper understanding of themselves and how they fit into the world.

NEW BEDFORD — The scallop catch could be cut up to 30 percent in each of the next two years in what fishermen say would be a heavy blow to the industry.
Deirdre Boelke, a scallop plan coordinator with the New England Fishery Management Council, said the reductions are needed because fewer full-grown scallops are available for harvest.
"The projected catch for 2013 and 2014 is in the neighborhood of 40 million pounds," Boelke told The Standard-Times after a meeting of the council's Scallop Oversight Committee in New Bedford on Tuesday. That's down from just under 57 million pounds in 2011, the latest full-year figures available.
"It's a big hit that will affect everyone," said boat owner William Wells of Seaford, Va., who chairs the scallop advisory panel, made up of industry members. "Each vessel will lose 46,000 pounds and there's about 347 vessels. With prices ranging from $8 to $12.50 a pound, just do the math."
The scallop industry has enjoyed a boom in recent years with record catches fetching prices of $10 per pound and higher at the dock.
Time will tell how badly the cuts may affect the industry's health, said Richie Canastra, co-owner of the BASE seafood display auction.
"It depends if the price stays up," Canastra said. "There's a lot going on both in Europe and in our economy."
He said the industry is already tightly regulated with limits on crew size and a ring size of 4 inches on scallop dredges to allow smaller scallops to escape.
The Atlantic scallop population is estimated at around 8 billion animals, split between Georges Bank and the Mid-Atlantic. But in 2011 that number was down to 2.5 billion in the Mid-Atlantic region. This year it's back to 4 billion, according to an SMAST video survey. "That's the good news. The bad news is they are all small," said Kevin Stokesbury who chairs SMAST's Department of Fisheries
For the last three years the survival rate of scallops, known as recruitment, has been below average, he said. "Good recruitment is about 35 percent of the stock. But we've seen it down around 19 percent during that time and fishing hasn't been reduced. In the Mid-Atlantic the large recruitment that we saw in 2003 has been fished out."
Tuesday's committee meeting adopted a motion to recommend closing the two large scallop grounds in the Mid-Atlantic — Delmarva off the Delmarva Peninsula and Elephant Trunk off New Jersey — to fishing to protect the resource.
"It's a responsible decision. Both the industry and the committee agree on the science," Boelke said.
The committee's recommendation goes before the full fishery council in November.
The proposed cuts could be offset if scallop fishermen are permitted to fish in other areas of the Northeast, known as habitat areas, that are currently off limits, industry figures say.
"Thirty percent of the biomass is tied up in those closed areas," said scalloper Joe Gilbert, of Stonington, Conn., who attended Tuesday's meeting.
"They should have opened the Northern Edge 10 years ago," Canastra said of a restricted area on Georges Bank.
That proposal has some support and will be reviewed, said Boelke. "We have forwarded the council a request to look into the most expeditious way to get fishing into those areas," she said. There are an estimated 46 million pounds of scallops available for harvest within those

$1.5 million over the next five years... Two New Educational Grant Programs Announced The DH&S The Deloitte Haskins & Sells Foundation recently an-nounced a five-year commitment of $1.5 million for two new programs. The DH&S Doctoral Fellowship Program and the DH&S Graduate Research Assistant Program, both to begin with the 1980-81 academic year, are the latest de-velopments in the Foundation's long history of commit-ment to the improvement of accounting education and research. According to Robert L. Steele, partner in charge of re cruitment and college relations, "these new programs are a logical outgrowth and extension of the Foundation's activities over the past half century which have became increasingly focused on the support of accounting faculty development," The Foundation was incorporated in 1928 by partners Charles S. Ludlam, Arthur H. Carter, Arthur S. Vaughan, Charles E. Morris and Arthur B. Foye. At that time its stated purposes were: To make donations to legally constituted charitable, educational, scientific, religious, literary, library, patriotic and historical institutions and associations. To make donations for benevolent purposes, including the promotion of education and study of useful sciences and especially in connection with the profession of accountancy. Assistance of such accountants and employees of accounting firms, who may be incapacitated by age, infirmity or physical disability, and the education and support of their dependent families, as in the judgment of the directors may be deserving. To promote the well-being of mankind. At first the emphasis was on the third of these purposes, and the Foundation made monthly grants to a number of retired employees and dependent families. Over the years the firm's own pension and employee-benefit plans evolved, and the Foundation withdrew from such activity. At the same time its involvement in the support and im-provement of accounting education continued to grow, most dramatically over the past two decades, and that is now seen by the Foundation members as its most impor-tant function. "The first contributions to the Foundation were made by the firm, and the fund w&s very substantially increased at intervals by bequests of partners. Contributions continue to be received, primarily from active and retired partners and from the firm. The Foundation made a number of specific educational grants in the years before 1956, but it had no formal pro-gram of support for accounting education. According to Bob Steele, this lack was related to the fact that there was as yet no centralized recruitment organization for the firm nationally As he told DH&S Reports, "Recruiting efforts were left up to the individual offices, and sustained and productive contacts were maintained on only a limited number of college campuses." The beginning of a coordinated, firmwide recruitment effort came in the mid-1950s when Lawrence M. Walsh, now partner in charge of the Miami office and regional partner in charge of the New York region, became the firm's first national personnel partner Since then, there has been a continuing progression of increased involvement with ac-counting faculty and students on campuses all over the country. The Foundation responded to the changed circumstances in 1956 with the establishment of Scholastic Awards for Excellence in Accounting and a number of faculty-assistance grants. The scholastic award was given to a high-ranking student at each of (at first) thirty-eight col-leges and universities. Winners were selected by a faculty committee on the basis of factors "deemed to make for future success in public accounting." The student received $500 and a medallion inscribed "for excellence in account-ing," and the school received a plaque to which the names of subsequent winners could be added. The award pro-gram expanded until in the early seventies some one hundred schools were included. About that time individual practice offices began to take over the administration of the awards for the schools within their practice areas. In the 1950s the Foundation was already very much aware of the critical need for teachers in the field of accounting. Faculty-assistance grants were established to give financial support to qualified people as encouragement to pursue advanced degrees and go on into teaching. In the first year grants of $1,000 were made to individuals at five universi-ties. This program, too, grew impressively. The DH&S Fellowship Awards, as they came to be called, eventually provided a grant of $3,500, generally renewable for a three-year period, to deserving doctoral candidates at forty-four universities. More than 665 grants were made in all. The recipients were chosen by their school faculties with the concurrence of the appropriate practice offices. 14

The study, the largest to date on the subject, also found that many sickle cell patients need emergency room care within 30 days of being discharged from a hospital. The study was conducted by researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin; Children's Research Institute at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, both in Milwaukee; and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) .
Sickle cell disease, an inherited blood disorder, most commonly causes acute, severe, recurrent painful episodes due to blockage of blood vessels by sickled red blood cells. People with sickle cell disease are also at increased risk for stroke and chronic problems, such as kidney and lung disease. The disease affects millions of people worldwide, including approximately 90,000 people in the United States. African Americans are disproportionately affected.
High rates of rehospitalization within 30 days of a previous hospital stay, an indicator of poor-quality post hospital outpatient care for a number of diseases, has only recently gained interest related to sickle cell care. The study showed high rates of rehospitalizations at 30 days, and also at 14 days, which may be a more accepted marker of care quality in sickle cell disease.
"It was important for us to draw attention to the high rate of acute care utilization for people with sickle cell disease. Armed with this knowledge we can focus attention on the need for improved care for those with sickle cell disease" said lead author David C. Brousseau, M., MS, associate professor of pediatrics (section of emergency medicine) at the Medical College of Wisconsin. He also practices at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin as a pediatric emergency specialist.
"This study is important because it provides benchmark data to evaluate the quality of outpatient management of sickle cell disease symptoms," said AHRQ's Director Carolyn M. Clancy, M.D.
The study found that one in three sickle cell disease patients was rehospitalized within 30 days, a rate roughly 1.5 times greater than that of diabetes patients, twice that of heart failure patients, and nearly 10 times greater than the rate for pediatric asthma patients. Moreover, two-thirds of the patients rehospitalized within 30 days were re-admitted within 14 days of their previous hospital discharge, suggesting that interventions to prevent rehospitalizations need to happen during or soon after the hospitalization.
When the researchers analyzed acute care use by age, they found that 18- to- 30 year-olds had over three and a half acute care encounters — rehospitalizations or treat-and release emergency department visits–per year, a rate markedly higher than the two visits per year from children 10-17 years old. Regardless of age, the patients with Medicaid or other type of public insurance used acute care for sickle cell related reasons more than privately insured and uninsured patients. Publicly insured 18-to-30 year-old patients had the highest rate – nearly five encounters per year.
This same age group also had the highest rate of hospital readmissions within 30 days or 14 days of their previous hospitalization, 41 percent and 28 percent respectively, and the highest rate of emergency department visits within the same time frame, 20 percent and 14 percent respectively.
The study was based on 21,112 sickle cell disease patients in eight states – Arizona, California, Florida, Massachusetts, Missouri, New York, South Carolina and Tennessee – who were hospitalized or treated and released from hospital emergency departments in 2005 and 2006. The state databases are part of the AHRQ-administered Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project.
For details see "Acute Care Utilization and Rehospitalization for Sickle Cell Disease" by Dr. Brousseau, Pamela Owens, Ph.D.,; Andrew L. Mosso, M.S., Analyst,; Julie A. Panepinto, M.D., MSPH, and Claudia A. Steiner, M.D. MPH.

Learning Interfaith from the Mughals: Akbar the Great (1556-1605)
Akbar was only thirteen when his father died of an unfortunate accident in the palace at Delhi. In his haste to rush down the stairs to answer the call for prayer, Humayun slipped and fell to his death. This sudden turn of events left the newly reclaimed Mughal Empire in peril once again. Akbar, who was born during Humayun's flight from Delhi after his loss to Sher Shah, was in Panjab at the time of his father's demise. With no other claimants to the throne, Akbar was thrust into the forefront of an empire in jeopardy. Unlike his father and grandfather, Akbar was an Indian by birth. While his father was hiding in the Thar Desert, in a Rajput fort in Umarkot (now in Pakistan), under the protection of Hindus, Akbar was born to Hamida in October 1542. His education had not gone well both because of the stress of a family on the run as well as his inability to learn to read or write, surely because of dyslexia.
Akbar was lucky to have Bayram Khan as regent in those early teenage years. Under his tutelage the empire was protected form 1556 to 1560. After Humayun's sudden death, while Akbar was still in Panjab, Hemu, a wretchedly puny but crafty man, quickly attacked Delhi and the Mughal force took flight. An unlikely adversary, Hemu, who was a chief minister of one of the Sur claimants, had to be driven from Delhi after a major victory in what was called the second battle of Panipat. Hemu riding on an elephant, the 'Hawai' (wind), took an arrow in his eye that pierced right through his head. Seeing their leader slump on his great beast the rest of the army scattered in confusion. Hemu was captured and beheaded in front of the young victor, Akbar. After this Delhi would not slip out of Mughal hands for another three centuries.
The loyal Bayram Khan was a Shia Muslim amongst the Sunnis. He fell victim to intrigue and betrayal and was provoked into revolting and then killed. Adham Khan, who is the son of Akbar's erstwhile nurse stepped in and carried on the business of extending the empire and putting down the insurgency in the neighboring states. The legendary Baz Bahadur, who was the sultan at Malwa was defeated and his lover, the Rajput princess, whom the lovelorn Bahadur had serenaded, committed suicide by drinking poison, in the true Rajput tradition. Adham Khan, by now was corrupted by power and felt the wrath of the nineteen-year-old emperor and was flung headlong from the terrace to meet his maker.
Barely out of his teens, Akbar quickly consolidated power and centralized the administration. Ministers were dispensed with lest they grow ambitious and dissident commanders were dealt with swiftly. Unlike any other Muslim ruler in India, Akbar took keen interest in his subjects and Hindu ascetics, like jogis and sanyasis. He was most tolerant of all Mughal rulers and let his subjects practice their faiths without any fear of persecution. He also encouraged marriages between Hindu Rajputs and Muslims. His first and the most beloved wife (first of thirty-three wives) was the daughter of Kacchwaha Rajput raja of Amber (Kacchawahas built Jaipur later). Raja's son and grandson became loyal lieutenants of Akbar and were treated as nobles. Rajasthan never again became a thorn on Akbar's side as it had for all the previous Sultans and Emperors.
Akbar never discriminated between Muslims and Hindus and conferred nobility to many, with equal justice in mind. His only failure was one Udai singh of Mewar, whose son, a prisoner in Akbar's court escaped and fled south. In 1567 Akbar himself marched south and participated in the siege of Chittor. Udai Singh and his son escaped but Akbar continued his siege and eventually occupied the fort. Udai Singh is the founder of the city of Udaipur with the lovely lake, where later, a Jagat Singh built the renowned palace on the lake. For Akbar defeating Chittor was a matter of honor (izzat) and this win effectively sealed his glory in the history of the Mughals. Historian Abu'l – Fazl in his Akbar-nama, recorded the events of Akbar's rule.
Akbar also undertook the building of a new capital in Sikri (later called Fatehpur Sikri) and planned to move his capital from Agra to Sikri. Despite being married to many wives he was heirless and propitiated his respects to a member of the Chisti family called Shaikh Salim Chisti of Sikri. The Sufi holy man correctly predicted that the emperor would have three sons. The first male child was born to his Rajput wife and was named Salim (later Jahangir) in honor of Chisti. The fulfilled prophesy of Chisti of Sikri also had an important role in his folly of building a new capital in Fatehpur Sikri. After completing his father Humayun's tomb, he undertook an ambitious plan to build an extravagant palace and other buildings in the middle of nowhere.
Akbar was a keen student of the various religions of India. Sufism flourished and the Bhakti cult as well as the Jain and Sikh followers of Guru Nanak fascinated Akbar. In his mind he formed an amalgam of various religions like Islam, Hinduism, Jainism and Sikhism. He even had Portuguese padres from Goa visit his court to give him a sermon on Christianity. He then sought a religion that encompassed the best elements of the various religions and proposed a new one called Din Ilahi or the Divine Faith. However, he did not vigorously promulgate his new religion and it never gained in popularity, as the tenets were not clearly spelled out. As expected he soon ran afoul with the ulema, who considered his actions blasphemous and a threat to Islam. His half brother Hakim, the governor of Kabul sent a fatwa enjoining all Muslims to revolt. With the help of his Hindu lieutenants Akbar was able to defeat Hakim in Lahore and then made a triumphant entrance into Kabul in 1581. Akbar went on to secure his borders and annex more and more territory. Not only Gujarat, Orissa and Rajasthan were subdued but Kashmir was also conquered. Sindh and Kabul were also under Akbar's control by 1595. Fatehpur Sikri was having trouble with water supply and Salim, his eldest son was showing signs of restlessness about potential succession. Akbar then chose the security of the fort in Agra, abandoning Fatehpur Sikri. It was during this time that Akbar was busy with extending his empire into Deccan. The assault on Ahmadnagar became confused with the internal threat to Akbar from his son and resulted in a halfhearted attempt and least rewarding of Akbar's conquests.
Akbar was also an exact contemporary of Elizabeth I of England but was the ruler of far greater number of people in India than the sparse population of England. The population of the subcontinent of India at the end of the sixteenth century is estimated at 140 million people with most of them living in the territory controlled by Akbar, between the Himalayas and the Deccan plateau. Compare this with the population of five million in England and 40 million in Western Europe. Akbar was indeed a true monarch and India with its enormous manpower quickly became rich again.
The benevolent monarch suspended all unjust taxation of non-Muslims. These taxes, called jizya had been collected ever since the Muslim rulers took control of India. Initially the Brahmins and some Buddhists were exempt but later Feroz Shah Tughlaq had made the taxes mandatory for all non-Muslims. Though handicapped with learning disabilities, Akbar appreciated art and music and honored artists, whoever they were. Miniature paintings from his era are considered to be masterpieces and the legendary musician Tansen was his royal singer in his court. Akbar's reign also began an unprecedented period of political stability in India. A crafty and intelligent minister Birbal is the subject of much folklore.
The emperor's waning years were mired in sadness. His own son, Prince Salim turned against him. In the year 1600, when Akbar was away, Salim attempted to seize Agra. The father and son reconciled but Salim again declared himself emperor in 1602. Salim murdered the trusted memorialist of Akbar, Abu'l-fazl, when he was sent to Salim to broker a truce between father and son. Akbar finally agreed to have Salim as his successor. However when Akbar died in 1605, perhaps form grief, the question of succession was far from settled. Salim's son Khusrau was also vying for the throne, supported by the Delhi nobles. The erstwhile history of Muslim rulers with their tendency towards fratricide and patricide was again upon the Mughals.
The filial piety seen for two generations of Mughals would be forgotten and replaced by routine violence prior to each succession. The internal strife, as a result, would be a larger threat to Mughal rule than any external pressure.

This song from the movie Jodha Akbar, directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, shows the way in which Akbar was influenced by Sufism, the mystical path to God which has remarkable similarities to the Bhakti Hindu movement.

Kiwi Fish & Chips
One kilometer away from Melbourne's CBD you'll find Tribeca Apartments. Nestled amidst their plaza, strip of cafes and shops is Kiwi Fish and Chips. Surrounded by a lot of people waiting to pick up their orders, we sat eating at their communal dining table (signing the odd autograph or two), when suddenly the attention turned to the counter. Fresh from winning the AFL Grand Final, the Collingwood coach Mick Malthouse stops in to have a chat and pick up some dinner for the family! So apart from the random celebrity siting, Kiwi Fish and Chips offers a traditional fish and chip shop menu including burgers, souvlaki and banana fritters, as well as a range of fresh fish that you can take home and cook if your feeling a little bit "Masterchef". We ended up ordering the Aussie Beef Burger that includes a traditional sesame-seeded bun, a beef pattie, fried egg, onion, cheese, lettuce and tomato. For an extra dollar you can get the Kiwi Burger that comes with added pineapple and beetroot. For those ex-pat Kiwis out there, they even have Lemon & Paeroa (BYO Southern Comfort of course).

When wind is still, go gig 'em for real
During the late spring and early summer, there are some nights that turn warm. There are times, however, when the winds continue to blow, but there are also some hot, still, humid nights. These are the times when the very best bullfrog catching takes place. Another thing to note is the moon's phase. Dark nights are far superior times for going frogging. Yes, it is possible to catch frogs during adverse conditions contrary as those aforementioned, but it is much more productive to have all of nature's ducks in a row.Bullfrogs, leopard frogs and yellow throats are all excellent table fare. The bullfrogs grow larger than the others, but my choice for the table are the latter two species.Keep in mind when going after frogs that other critters enjoy them, also. Several species of fish as well as water snakes are frog eaters. Alligators are also big time predators of frogs. When hunting frogs, the fish and alligators will abandon their search whenever you are present, but sometimes the snakes don't retreat. Only the cottonmouth water moccasin is poisonous and should be avoided.
One time a couple years back, I was hand catching marsh frogs from the bow of an airboat. The frogs were plentiful and it was a reach and catch and then catch again night. There were frog eyes and silver throats all around. I had caught a good number of the tasty amphibians when I grabbed for a frog. At that same time a big black snake with a cotton-colored mouth grabbed for him, too. Fortunately I was quicker than the snake on that occasion. He missed both the frog and my hand. It's normally easy to see the area around where your quarry is perched. For some reason I was not paying close enough attention, and it could have been a bad situation. The moral to that story is if you are out where slithering creatures live and feed, remain alert.
There are a number of types of areas where the frogs will be available and catchable. The marsh areas that I mentioned earlier are great frogging areas. Most of the marsh frogs are the yellow throats. The drawback to catching them is the need for a boat. Since they tend to prefer the places with lots of lily pads and waterborne mosses, an airboat would be right at home there. Airboat frog hunters do their catching by hand grabbing. The mechanical grabbers and gigs require handles. These are not good to have in an airboat since they may get into the propeller.
Rice canals, bayous and, in some cases, riverbanks will offer some great frog hunting. The types of places may be fogged either by walking or by boat. The better way of being successful on the canals is for two hunters to walk on opposite sides. They can then shine the frogs eyes for each other across the canal. For this type frogging I recommend using a grabber gig with a handle long enough to reach them. Usually one 7 or 8 feet long will work.
On the bayous and some rivers, the grabber gig will do fine. The longer handle will allow for reaching the frogs that are in places that the boat can't get into. Most of the frogs on these banks will be either bullfrogs or leopard frogs. These are the larger varieties of our local frogs.
Then there are the private ponds and small lakes that seem to be bullfrog meccas. These ponds may be in town or in the suburbs, but that matters not. What's good about them is that the grass is usually mowed right up to the water line. This makes for much easier frog catching. For these kinds of places, the grabber gig or even a long handle fish landing net will do the trick.
As a project at the Hampshire-Fannett High School, the students were to study frogs. What's unique is that they were required to catch their own frogs. My granddaughter, Emily Halfin, who is a junior and being raised in an outdoor oriented family, relayed the news to her younger 14 year old brother, Brant. He immediately not only volunteered but also insisted that he was more than willing to help her with the project.
The bullfrogs were bellowing in a pond behind their house and the night was perfect for them to head out. They immediately spotted some big frogs, but they would jump before the pair could get to them. Their dad, Doug, suggested that they use a long handle net and that they use a less powerful light. The strong Q-beam would cause the frogs to close their eyes and jump in to the pond. Yes, they saw plenty of snakes as well as frogs, but when they returned home you could tell by their smiles that success was theirs.
Be sure to check the regulations for frogging and don't trespass on other's land without permission. Froggers that are under 17 years of age are not required to possess a hunting license when frogging. All others are required to have a hunting license.
There are still a lot of folks who enjoy getting into the grass roots and, yes, mud and water of the outdoors. It's our heritage. Go frogging and be involved.

I know you'll all agree that we are really thankful for the free services here at 3FC. The sisters offer all of this support and information with no charges to us. There are a couple of ways though that we can help out.
If you are thinking about buying anything at Amazon, why not help out 3FC at the same time? You can do this by clicking on the button for the Amazon "store" in the upper right hand corner of the screen on the PURPLE tool bar. A portion of your purchase price will be given to 3FC by Amazon. It doesn't increase your price at all, but it does help out 3FC. You can use any of the Amazon.com links that you see on the site in order to help contribute to the site.
Also, BTW, in case you didn't know it, you can view the message boards "ad free" for a minimal charge. I think it's $15 for 6 months. A very small investment to be rid of the annoying ads and make your pages load quicker.
There have been some concerns expressed by the powers that be about copyright infringement. So please, if you are directly quoting someone else or printing an article in whole or in part, please give credit where credit is due!!!

Bluffton's largest employer - CareCore National - named a new CEO in June 2012 to replace the company's late co-founder Don Ryan, who died suddenly in September 2011.
John Arlotta is a health care industry veteran and was tapped to lead the benefit management company. He has spent the first six months traveling and getting to know CareCore's customers and employees - in Bluffton, Colorado and elsewhere. CareCore has been headquartered in Bluffton since 2007 and employs more than 1,300 employees, more than 500 of them locally.
Arlotta also is the owner of a lacrosse team in Minnesota, a Notre Dame graduate and huge supporter of programs there.
Bluffton Today caught up with him last week and the following is an edited version of five questions with Arlotta.
1. You have been CEO at CareCore for about six months. What's been the biggest surprise?
I think the talent that the people have here. I did not expect the talent level to be so high. I thought it would be hard to recruit. I just found the talent level to be incredible. Young people have moved into the area. We pulled in four or five college grads this past year. I thought we'd have a hard time getting the younger people.
I think it also says something about Bluffton. People want to live in Bluffton. Mid-level management - which is so key to the company - want to be here because it is a great place.
2. What changes have you made in the operation of the business? Why?
I viewed my job less as a change agent and more as taking a very good company to the next level. I spent the first six months meeting and talking to our customers.
My conclusion was that it wasn't a company that needed to change but one that needed to grow. It needed to create a foundation to prepare it (the company) for growth properly. A key to all of that was retaining the entrepreneurial spirit of the company.
A probable activity related to growing quickly is when a company tends to lose touch with the employee piece of the business.
We want to have that growth with a higher level of touch with our employees. Want to stay entrepreneurial but to do all the things a big company can do. There is a subtle difference. Putting that foundation in place. It is not just brick and mortar, but people and the type of people you have.
3. What did you spend the most time doing during your initial first six months on the job?
Talking to our customers, employees, management team, board of directors. I traveled a lot. And I traveled alone. I did this so people would talk to me and tell me honestly what they thought.
The feedback was phenomenal. I heard from customers that we move quickly and are flexible. We have a good reputation.
I was learning more about the business during the first six months. And I was figuring out priorities for 2013.
4. What do you enjoy most about living in the Lowcountry?
The weather. Moved here from Denver and the weather there is beautiful. I grew up in Buffalo.
People here have been very nice. We (my wife and I) have integrated quickly into the community.
5. How did you get interested in lacrosse?
I have moved around a little bit. One company I ran in Baltimore, NeighborCare, needed a new physical location. A location that was more suitable for a public company. The landlord for the new location took me to a John Hopkins University lacrosse game. You can't live in Baltimore without touching lacrosse.
I got involved as a spectator in Baltimore. Then I moved to Denver and it had a fast-growing lacrosse community. One of my best friends bought the Minnesota Wild NHL team and he asked me to buy the lacrosse team, the Minnesota Swarm. My son runs the team. I own it.
He's (my son) doing a great job. Moving here means that I don't hover over him. But I have not given up the player side of it.
I am also a big Notre Dame lacrosse supporter.
Bonus question: Your alma mater, Notre Dame, is playing for the national championship against my alma mater, Alabama, on Monday night. Who do you think will win? Score?
I never predict a Notre Dame game because I am too emotional about it. Especially against Alabama because the team is so great. Alabama has a great tradition and I have a lot of respect for them.
It will be a good game. We will surprise some people. I am just going to go and enjoy it.
Age: 63
Family: Married with three adult children
Career: Health care
Education: Notre Dame. Majored in marketing and minored in transportation management
Hobbies: Family and work. Things related to Notre Dame lacrosse
Organizations: Primary affiliation was with Young President's Organization. Other activities are Notre Dame-related and geared toward the undergraduate experience council

Market Samurai Update Is It As Good As They Say?
It's been awhile since my last post on Market Samurai, at least 4 months, and I know you're probably wondering where things are at. Truth be told I've been having a little problem with utilising its full potential. At first I thought it was because my old computer couldn't handle the power but as it turns out they were having problems of their own.
Anyway they got it resolved and I was able to get a little more into it. As I mentioned in those other posts before Market Samurai I never really bothered about keyword research as I always figured it was a pain in the ass. When it came to deciding which keyword tools I would buy I decided to go for the one that everyone claimed to be the search engine optimisation specialist of keywords tools. I know I made the right choice too, and it's not just because of all the positive comments I received in those posts from all the happy MS customers.
When I bought MS I had a particular blog in mind, my Sexual Aids blog, as I wanted it to get a whole lot more traffic and I couldn't do it via the normal blog commenting route because most people don't like links going to that sort of blog. So I thought keyword research was my best search engine optimisation strategy and Market Samurai the best keywordstool.
Using MS I discovered I was focusing on the wrong keywords so following its lead I decided a small change was necessary and so I focused my strategy on sexual aids as my keywords. While a blog's changing content has always been a positive as far as search engines are concerned I've always felt it limited the SEO importance of the home page. This is because the home page is constantly changing with every new post. Keeping that in mind I included a little narrative in the header and footer including the keywords recommended by Market Samurai.
Since then those keywords, sexual aids, is now ranked #1 both in Bing and Yahoo. No such luck with Google though and the only thing I can think of is that Google places a lot more emphasis on backlinks, and like I said earlier its hard getting people to link to that particular blog. Anyway, if you're looking for a good comment on your blog and you don't mind linking to what is probably the only sex blog with good content :winkie: let me know in the comments and I'll be there before you can say, 'Sire is one heck of a horny blogger.'
As far as Market Samurai is concerned I'm still feeling my way around but the more I get into it the more I'm liking it. I may even use the domain feature to help me pick a good domain name for a niche site I have in mind. You may have noticed all the words in bold text and how some of them are spelt incorrectly, well it's not because I've gone slack all of a sudden, it's because I used Market Samurai as the keyword research tools to optimise this post to gain the best SEO advantage possible.
We all know that a lot of the time people misspell words when they do the searches and you can't just guess what the misspelt words are. Well you could but you could be wasting your time by putting in the wrong words. MS helps you to use the right ones. Naturally you may not want to use them if you feel it will sully your professionalism, but that's up to you.
If you're not sure about outlaying the money to buy Market Samurai right now you'll be happy to know they still have the trial offer. That means you can take it for a test run, as well as getting "4 Brief "How-To" Videos, Sharing How You Can Get More Visitors, with Less Effort" which they throw in as a thank you just for giving it a go.
Naturally as I learn more of the internal workings of Market Samurai I will be doing further updates and if I learn any tips and tricks I'll be sure to share those with you.Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2011

Here at Karate for Kids we teach a form of Karate called Taekwondo. Translated, Taekwondo means "Art of the hand and foot," and originally comes from Korea where it is still practiced as a national sport. Although Taekwondo is one of the world's newest martial arts, formally named in 1953, its roots are based on techniques tested for thousands of years.
Each class begins and ends with a bow. The beginner's white belt indicates he is without knowledge of Taekwondo. As one progresses in knowledge, the color of the belt gets darker: orange, yellow, camo, green, purple, blue, brown, red, red/black and finally black.
Taekwondo, in modern society, is taught as a defensive martial art which develops skills in self-protection, physical agility, and mental keenness, but the Karate for Kids definition of Taekwondo is "a martial art that trains people physically and mentally."

Of all the Disney Princess crossover artwork we've seen, and we've seen plenty, we can't believe we've yet to see a Doctor Who/Disney Princess mashup.
Thank goodness artist Amy Mebberson has rectified this problem with an adorable banner of various princesses in the infamous doctor costumes (the Rapunzel/Tom Baker blend is inspired). Well done.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – A group of 19 student-athletes from the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps women's and men's swimming & diving teams have qualified to participate in the NCAA Division III Swimming & Diving Championship March 19-22 at the Indiana University Natatorium on the campus of IUPUI. CMS last had participants from both of its teams participate in the NCAA Championships at the same time in 2012. This year CMS sends the largest combined group of participants that Coach Griffiths has had during his time as head coach at CMS, eclipsing 2011 when CMS sent a group of 16 – eight men and eight women – to the NCAA Championship.
The Athenas send 10 swimmers to the NCAA Championships, a group led by two seniors in Michele Kee and Helen Liu who experienced nationals in 2011 and 2012.
"With some experience, I think there is excitement for the meet, but we feel comfortable at nationals so it's really fun to go to the meet and know that fractions of a second matter," Griffiths said. "We have upperclassmen who have experienced it [nationals] before so that should help the team."
All told four seniors (Kee, Liu, Annika Jessen and Erin MacLean), a pair of juniors (LillyBelle Deer and Molly Loftus) and four freshmen (Courtney Chan, Kayla Flaten, Emily McKinnon and Kelly Ngo) round out the team of Athenas traveling to Indianapolis.
The strength of the group is its relay teams according to Coach Griffiths, with the Athenas swimming in four of the five relay events (200-yard medley relay, 400-yard medley relay, the 200-yard freestyle relay and the 400-yard freestyle relay) at the NCAA Championship.
Women's Qualifiers (Complete List)
On the men's side, CMS sends nine participants as the team looks to improve on its 10th place finish at the 2013 NCAA Championship. Five Stags who traveled to nationals in 2013 are back again this season.
"Last season we were 10th at nationals and we would like to do better this year," said Griffiths. "I think we are capable of improving on last season both in terms of total points scored and overall ranking. We had strong free relays last season but I think our medley relays have improved this year and we are capable of scoring more individual points as well."
For the Stags, the team is led by four juniors (Marc Blumberg, Patrick Shultz, James Stevick and Cameron Whiting), along with four sophomores (Zach Alleva, Joseph Hinton, Alex Poltash and Conrad Shabb) and freshman Matthew Williams.
Similar to the Athenas, the Stags send strong relay teams to nationals. The Stags are slated to participate in all five relay events including the 800-yard freestyle relay.
As for individual events, Williams is in the mix for an individual title in the 100-yard backstroke and the 200-yard backstroke as the top qualifier in both events heading into the NCAA Championship. On the boards, Stevick finished second at the NCAA Championship in 2013 on the 1-meter boards and just missed out on an individual title. Stevick won zone 2 of the 2014 NCAA diving preliminaries at the end of February which puts him back in the hunt in 2014.
The last national champion CMS had of any kind was for either the men or women was Anne Perizzolo in 2010 who won the 100 and 200-yard breaststroke. The last individual national champion for the Stags came in 2005 when Andrew Cox won the 50-yard freestyle.
