Natixis Global Asset Management expands UK offering with launch of two innovative dynamic multi-factor equity funds
London 3rd February, Natixis Global Asset Management ('Natixis') has further strengthened its UK OEIC range with the launch of two innovative dynamic multi-factor equity funds, from Paris-based portfolio manager, Seeyond.*
The "Seeyond Factor Plus U.K. Equity Fund"** and "Seeyond Factor Plus Europe Ex U.K. Equity Fund"** are core long-only equity strategies that aim to generate consistent outperformance over the long term, whatever the market environment.
Both funds dynamically allocate across four specific equity factors: Value, Low Volatility, Small Cap and Momentum to maximise returns. Each of the four factors have been specifically selected because they have outperformed the markets over the long term, although not necessarily at the same time through an economic cycle.***
Factor-timing is crucial. Seeyond's dynamic factor allocation aims to capture positive market movements by altering its allocation between the factors according to clear market trends identified through its process.
"This is not a pure beta product as, unlike typical benchmark orientated strategies, all holdings actively contribute to alpha generation or volatility management or both," said Chris Jackson, EVP for UK Retail and International Product. "This is an innovative process which we like to call Smart beta 2.0. It enables Seeyond to optimise the performance of these factors by taking advantage of market trends whilst enhancing risk adjusted returns."
The funds will be managed by Seeyond's David Belloc, Equity Portfolio Manager, supported by Pierre Savarzeix, Equity Portfolio Manager. The team already manages close to €1bn in equivalent strategies.****
The funds are the latest strategies to be added to the Natixis UK OEIC offering, which currently comprises four funds from Natixis' underlying investment affiliates: the Morningstar OBSR Gold rated Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund, the Morningstar OBSR Bronze rated Loomis Sayles US Equity Leaders Fund, the H2O MultiReturns Fund and the Harris Global Concentrated Fund.
Along with Natixis' existing UK retail offering, the intention is for the new funds to be available to UK investors and advisers via a range of platforms including Fidelity's Fundsnetwork, Ascentric, Novia, Transact, 7IM, Raymond James, Cofunds and Standard Life.
*Seeyond is the structured product and volatility management investment division of Natixis Asset Management.
** Sub-fund of NGAM Investment Funds U.K. ICVC a UK registered OEIC. The Authorised Corporate Director of the fund is NGAM SA, authorised in Luxembourg and regulated by the CSSF.

Setting Control Limits
A. Setting limits depends on what you are doing. Since the purpose of a limit and the methodology for constructing a limit are specific to its application, this article will not attempt to describe the solution for a specific problem. Instead, this article describes considerations made when someone is asked to produce a limit, set of limits or system of limits.
The primary considerations are the consequences and planned reaction for exceeding the limit. This may be negotiated with the client as potential limits and flexibility in reaction are balanced. The negotiation may reveal what is driving the request for the limit: usually process control, process monitoring for quality assurance and quality control, regulation, physical science or customer specifications. An observation that falls outside a limit is perhaps out of control or OOC (i.e., exceeds control limits), out of trend or OOT (i.e., exceeds trend limits), out of specification or OOS (i.e., exceeds specification limits) or perhaps just interesting (i.e., exceeds alert limits). The reaction to an observation that falls outside a limit may be reporting only, but generally there is a stronger consequence to company resources (e.g., compliance) or an operational consequence such as a change to the process (e.g., process control). The reader should attempt to match the methodology for constructing the limit to expected consequences within the context of the client's request.
Data-driven decisions require substantive knowledge of the context and mechanism(s) for generating the data. In psychiatric research, a subject may be excluded from an analysis used to set limits on normative psychophysiological function due to nutritional or medical history, yet included in another analysis that compares individual results to those limits. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, a test result observed by a QC laboratory may be excluded from the process history used to calculate control limits if the batch record confirms that the material tested was not representative of the process.
Input from subject matter experts is needed when an initial limit is required for a new production process or when an updated limit is required following a major change to an existing process. Two years of process history is desirable, yet uncommon, for calculating control limits. If the process is new, few sources of variation will have the opportunity to manifest in the small number of observations, n, available for the calculation. Consequently, limits regularly require adjustment as the number of data points (information) increases. Input from subject matter experts is needed to characterize processes with few observations (small n) due to infrequent output (e.g., four batches per year). A calculated limit may be adjusted by a process engineer or a physical scientist to a value known by other means as meeting production needs.
Limits on a process may be set at the minimum and maximum of observed process history (two years recommended). The minimum and maximum are data points, but they also have a frequency interpretation: the 0th and 100th percentiles, where n = 100 observations. With sufficient information about a process (large n), other percentiles of the data may be calculated directly or estimated using nonparametric procedures.1 The 0.25th and 99.75th percentiles capture extremes at the rate of 1 in 400 each and may provide a useful screen. Alert limits (e.g., minimal reaction) and action limits (e.g., strong reaction) may be staged percentiles, such as the 95th and 99th percentiles (or 5th and 1st percentiles, respectively).
Percentiles used as limits may be computed by statistical inference. For example, it is known by the central limit theorem that process observations will conform to the normal (Gaussian) distribution over time if the observations (e.g., QC lab test results) are constructed as means or totals (sums). It is also known that this actually works.2 With normality, it is known that k? limits (calculated as the product of a multiplier k and an estimated standard deviation s, or ks) cover about 95 percent of possible results when k = 2, and 99.73 percent when k = 3, assuming that you have an adequate estimate s of the total variance ?. Without normality, the limits widen to obtain similar coverage: At least (1 - 1/k2) x 100% of the data fall within k standard deviations of the mean, symmetry not required (Chebyshev's theorem), providing at least 94 percent coverage with k = 4 and at least 96 percentage coverage with k = 6. Inferential confidence bounds meeting highly prescribed criteria might be found in such books as Hahn and Meeker's Statistical Intervals: A Guide for Practitioners.3
It is easy to automate the routine calculations needed to maintain a system of limits using all available data. However, input from subject matter experts regarding exclusions and process issues cannot be automated. A system of limits for an automated significance editing procedure called the SignEdit System4 is planned for agricultural surveys in the Research and Development Division of the National Agricultural Statistics Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture. The SignEdit System includes a system of action limits and alert limits on process behavior. For farms included in every reporting period of a survey cycle, current values are compared to previously reported values to check for outliers that might reflect processing errors. A ratio comparison attributed to Hidiroglou and Berthelot of Statistics Canada was used.5 The distributional properties of the H-B effects are unknown, so a manual approach was used to set initial limits across roughly one year of process history for development purposes.6 For purposes of automation, action limits at the 0.25th and 99.75th percentiles were planned with annual recalculation based on two years of process history. The action limits indicate an automated restriction of OOT farm reports from the donor pool for donor imputation. The alert limits were planned at the 1st and 99th percentiles. The alert limits indicate an automated notification for manual review where the HB effects will be studied further and where the performance of the action limits may be evaluated. Automation was adopted as hundreds of limits were required to control potential outliers from each survey question of each participating survey.

The XX Factor
What 'glass ceiling'? Women are landing top-notch security positions.
At a major security conference a couple of years ago, three of the nation's top information security leaders convened to meet the press. All of them were women.
"We looked at each other and said, 'Well, that's odd.' Then we all smiled because, really, not that long ago we would have been the only ones in a sea of men," recalls Lisa "LJ" Johnson, the CISO for Nike, who was one of that notable trio.
As the role of the security executive has grown from that of a pure technologist to a risk strategist, so have the ranks of women in companies' infosecurity programs. Now, strong communication, program and project management skills are highly valued.
|An Executive Decision
At the first Executive Women's Forum on Information Security, Privacy and Risk Management in 2003, women executives raised a glass, so to speak, to shattering glass ceilings.
The brainchild of Joyce Brocaglia, who is the CEO of information security recruiter Alta Associates, the EWF has since expanded its ranks and its influence by providing numerous, year-round networking opportunities.
Yet the conference remains true to its original mission to provide a unique opportunity for women to share advice and experiences that ultimately benefit not just their gender but the industry as a whole.
"With the EWF, women are aware of how other women succeed in gaining influence, building consensus, getting their point of views conveyed, and getting their voice heard both inside their own companies and externally," Brocaglia explains.w
--Anne Saita
"Those kinds of skills lend themselves naturally to women," explains Joyce Brocaglia, CEO of information security recruiting firm Alta Associates and founder of the Executive Women's Forum on Information Security, Privacy and Risk Management (see "An Executive Decision," right). "Women are attuned naturally to juggling a lot of things, and their experiences in multitasking, communicating and negotiating are all contributing factors to their success."
Adds Peter Gregory, a senior security strategist: "Women are very valuable; they think differently. Talented women can and will stir things up in a good way. Men want to fix it quick, women want to understand. Women improve a professional working team for a number of reasons; they see problems differently and they bring a good perspective to the table."
Johnson, who earned a degree in forestry and began her IT career through a temp job, agrees that a shift in attitude toward information security as a business enabler, rather than productivity blocker, has turned the roles of CSO and CISO into those of a problem-solver with a firm grasp on risk management. That requires learning the language of business and getting a firm understanding of how enterprises operate.
"It's much more of a complex challenge, and it requires relationships and taking time to understand a business before you can be understood," she says. "Maybe that is what's drawing more women into the business."
Rebecca Norlander, who came to Microsoft as an Office application developer and now is general manager of its Security Technology Unit, believes that the ability to view issues from myriad angles serves a useful tool in developing operational, tactical and strategic goals. "I think women have a higher tendency to look at computers as tools in their daily life that solve a larger problem and need to be treated with care, whereas a lot of men see [security] as a technical challenge."
As such, Norlander says, women are "uniquely positioned to paint a picture of what you're actually trying to accomplish, and then translate it into nitty-gritty technical details in the solutions. Most men do the opposite."
But some, like Suzanne Hall, AARP's director of IT operations, says the workplace still has a ways to go. "Security has a seat at the table and is reporting to the highest levels," Hall says. "As a woman, the impact is the same as it was for many women who first found themselves at the executive table: Look around, and you are often the only woman."
Hall, an accountant by education who not only runs AARP's security division but heads all of its IT operations, finds that female business leaders are more plentiful in other areas, such as marketing and human resources, than in information security. "I found most women that started out when I did over time have chosen to stay home or take on a profession that doesn't require them to be out of the home as much as IT can," she says. "It's still not the most hospitable climate for women in general."
That's one reason global companies such as Microsoft are investing millions of dollars into college scholarships, computer research labs and recruitment of minorities and women. It also hosts internal regional conferences on work/life issues for its female sales force to help them to better handle schedules, child care and task-sharing in the home and at work. Not that men don't have similar struggles once they become fathers, but the workplace bias is still there, and these companies are working to fix that.
Adrienne L. Hall, senior director of Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing initiative, remembers being told by a customer that it was useless for them to build a work relationship because she'd soon have children and leave. The customer later apologized for his remark. "I think there's always a tension around the time people spend at the office and at home, and women have that aspect to consider in terms of when they would take a promotion or when they would have a child," she says. "There's a need for increasing awareness and sharing best practices for it."
That's one reason that, five years ago, Brocaglia founded the Executive Women's Forum (EWF), which meets annually to build alliances and advance careers.
"We help to make women aware of how other women succeed in gaining influence and consensus and getting their point of views conveyed," Brocaglia explains. New to this year's conference in September will be the announcement that an EWF fellow will receive a full two-year scholarship to the Carnegie Mellon Information Networking Institute (INI) for her master's of science degree in information security technology and management. In addition, the recipient will be mentored by an EWF participant. It's another step in strengthening female bonds and fostering cooperation, rather than competition.
"The biggest change I've seen in the 20 years I've been recruiting...is the huge change in attitude of women from the old days of 'I got here the hard way and you have to pay your dues, too,' to a complete turnaround, where women are incredibly gracious and willing to help other women to succeed," Brocaglia says.
"The women who attend the forum have this determination to share and help each other, be open and honest, and really go out of their way to make other women successful.
And that's a huge advancement," she says.

Best MET sisters: Dakota & Elle Fanning
Both in Rodarte. I like the symmetry of this. It's like each Mulleavy gets a Fanning. And they're coordinated too!
This is a great sheer panelled dress on Dakota, 19. Because it's revealing without being risqué. You see how it offers virtually no side-breast? I have to think that that's a strategic decision. Sex has never been Rodarte's flavour.
As for Elle, who is 15, and we'll just conveniently side-step the issue of why a 15 year old is at this event, at least she's never dressed for 30. And the Mulleavy sisters have styled her perfectly in a piece that allows her to express her youth and protect it too while still showcasing their creativity. Why shouldn't a teenager at the ball make her eyes into rainbows?

"I have been with Brody Brothers for 5.5 years. Ari has been coming to my home for all this time. He does a great job. I hardly ever have an issue. He keeps us pest free which isn't easy living in the woods."
Rats can be a huge problem if they find a way into your home. They can chew through wood, drywall, and more, causing significant damage. They can also chew electrical wires, creating a fire risk, and they reproduce quickly, making the problem worse. More importantly, they carry numerous diseases, and they can contaminate your food with urine and feces.
For effective, safe rodent control in Pikesville, you need a professional. At Brody Brothers Pest Control, we have more than 30 years of experience dealing with rodent and pest problems. Our rat control services can eliminate current infestations and prevent re-occurrences. We serve customers throughout the Pikesville area, and we offer a full line of pest control services that help to eliminate rodents, ants, bees, spiders, and more.
Don't risk your health. If you have a rat problem and need rodent control in Pikesville, call Brody Brothers today at (410) 653-2121 or contact us online!
If there are rats in your home, there will be a number of obvious signs, including:
You also may see the occasional rat, meaning there are likely many more. Rats can inflict a nasty bite and should be approached with caution.
Rats are attracted to easily available food and dark, cozy locations where they can build a nest. If a rat can find a hole to enter your home or make one through weaker materials like wood, they will gladly enter to seek food and shelter. They commonly pass through gaps around pipes, holes in the foundation, and damaged siding. They can even climb downspouts to enter through the attic or crawl up through sewer and drain pipes.

Can the Humvee Go Green?
An energy-efficient Humvee? While it seems crazy, the hybrid XM1124 Humvee has been in development for a while now. Today, word came that automotive lithium-ion battery maker EnerDel has been chosen to create the vehicle's battery system. The company has received a $1.29 million contract to design and build a high-performance battery.
EnerDel will collaborate with the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center over the next 18 months, creating four custom power systems that will be tested in extreme performance simulations.
While the demonstration version of the Humvee XM1124 is already more efficient than the conventional M1113 Humvee, with a higher top speed, faster acceleration, longer range, and better fuel economy, the new battery should increase the peak power capability.

Choosing a set of headphones, especially expensive ones, is pretty hard. There are so many different pairs, styles and performance levels that we could, in theory, run a site just reviewing headphones and never run out.
But most headphones aren't worthy of such attention, so these BlueAnt Embrace cans must offer something that makes them worthy of your consideration, right? The most obvious thing most people will notice is that BlueAnt isn't exactly a big name in headphones. If you've heard of the company, it will more likely be for its in-car Bluetooth accessories.
There's no point having a colour in your company name, if you don't use it in your products somewhere. And bright, bold colours are all the rage at the moment - look at that Beats Audio trademark red for one. Depending on how you feel about blue, will depend very much on how pleased or disappointed you are that the only sign of blue here, is on the cable that connects your MP3 player to the headphones.
And only one of the cables provided, at that. But the fact that BlueAnt provides two cables is a very good thing. The blue one is for iPod, iPhone and iPad users. It has an in-line remote control that allows you access to Apple's standard controls. The black cable is just a straight-through affair, with no fancy controls.
A standard 3.5mm jack socket is provided on the headphones for these cables, so if they break, replacing them is as simple as just buying a replacement, or finding a cable that you already have knocking around somewhere.
But BlueAnt also provides an adaptor with its cans, which it says will allow the microphone and controls to be used on more devices than just an iPod. That's pretty considerate of it, and we're always pleased to see companies thinking about more than just the half-eaten-fruit brand.
The headphones are made solidly. The headband is a solid, sturdy feeling metal and both it, and the earpads are wrapped in a leather-effect material. Blue-ant also uses a memory foam for its earpads, which it claims improves sound by blocking out external noise. They are comfortable to wear though, which is very important.
The earpads also rotate to allow the headphones to be stored flat. A carry case is included for this purpose too, so if you travel a lot, you'll find that they can take up a modest enough amount of space. Although, obviously, never as compact as in-ear style headphones.
Wearing the BlueAnt Embrace is a pleasure. Well, it is in as much as any headphones are. The ear pads cover your ear, but don't surround them, for us, this meant our ears stayed cool, and we liked that. They get the sound to your ear-drum with gusto too, so there's no disadvantage to the design.
The memory foam is incredibly comfortable too, giving our ears a nice time of things. The adjustable head-band makes it nice and easy to get the headphones positioned well, and although the metal band makes these headphones quite heavy, they aren't too weighty to wear for long periods, and they don't drop off when you tilt your head.
Sound quality
But, we can talk about design and comfort but the main event is the sound quality. And here, the BlueAnt really does very well indeed. The company boasts that the sound is flat, and untuned, leaving you able to apply EQ via your MP3 player. This will suit iPhone and iPod users, because those devices give decent control over equaliser settings. The same, sadly, can't be said of every music device.
We did find that they did a very good job with our Motorola Razr, which does some EQ, upon request, but also has a flat mode too. Even so, we felt these headphones did add a little more low end, especially when compared to a set of headphones like the Phonak Audeo PFE 232 we reviewed recently.
So, a word of caution, if you're looking for vivid bass to the point of excluding anything else, then you might find that these headphones aren't for you. They are certainly capable of producing some amazing low-end sounds, but you'll probably need to help them along with some EQ.
We've very much come to like the BlueAnt Embrace in the time we've spent with them. The sound is very clean, they're an ideal partner for the iPod and music has a depth and quality that should suit even those with picky ears.
They aren't cheap though, and we do wonder who will pick these over, say, a set of Beats, with all the branding and street-cred that those cans carry. One thing is for sure, audiophiles will be a lot less disappointed with the sound from these BlueAnt headphones than from the bass-heavy Beats.
£170 is always a tough decision, but we can't see anyone who does buy these headphones being disappointed with them. They certainly produce a quality of sound that equals that of cans that cost a lot more. Plus, they should last a long time, with their modular earpieces and cables, and that's what you'd want in expensive headphones.

Forget Dodgers versus Giants, or Duke versus UNC, or even Red Sox versus Yankees. The craziest rivalry in American sports is between the Seattle Sounders and the Portland Timbers. In soccer. And for almost 10 years it's been driven by one man: the colorful, controversial (and surprisingly likable) Roger Levesque.
Author Kevin Alexander Photography Chris Mueller
IMAGINE AN ENTIRE SOLD-OUT STADIUM on its feet, caught up in a sweating frenzy of chants and songs, arms holding team scarves aloft or waving flags, as horns sound and drums rattle and people on bullhorns shout commands. Now imagine scores of those fans working a complex system of pulleys in unison to unveil a gigantic handmade banner covering one end of the stadium, while thousands of opposing fans, who've also been on their feet chanting and singing and drumming and screaming for hours, defiantly turn their backs on the spectacle. Now imagine all of this taking place at a soccer game. In America. And the match hasn't even started yet. Welcome to the world of professional soccer in the Pacific Northwest.
In the pocket of the U.S. best known for coffee, rain and grunge, there exists a fanatical obsession with "the Beautiful Game." For both Portland and Seattle, soccer—long considered the redheaded stepchild of American sports—is deeply rooted in the local DNA. The rivalry between the respective fan bases of the two cities' Major League Soccer clubs, the Portland Timbers and the Seattle Sounders, is as intense and crazed and magical to behold as any other in the country.
Much of this has to do with the clubs' shared history. Starting 37 years ago in the original North American Soccer League, and moving from the Western Soccer League to the United Soccer League to their current place in Major League Soccer, they've played each other a total of 76 times, with 40 Seattle wins, 27 Portland wins and nine draws coming into the 2012 season.
That kind of history (an eternity in U.S. professional soccer) has helped forge a rivalry over two generations and counting. But one might argue the feud has burned especially hot in the past decade— which matches up, not coincidentally, with the career of a uniquely polarizing Seattle player named Roger Levesque.
LIKE MOST LEGENDS, Roger Levesque has a slightly hazy origin story. Some trace Portland fans' animosity toward him back to a game in 2003, when he intentionally (they believe) kicked their goalkeeper in the face. Others say it stemmed from his knack for scoring important goals in big games against the Timbers in the USL. But regardless of how it started, no one would disagree that the Portland faithful's antipathy toward Levesque skyrocketed three years ago, during the U.S. Open Cup. Modeled after England's FA Cup, the tournament is open to any affiliated team, professional or amateur, in any division. Seattle was in its first year in the MLS, while Portland, still in the USL, was eager to prove it could hang with the newly anointed. But 48 seconds into the match, Sounders midfielder Sanna Nyassi crossed the ball to Levesque, who smashed home a header to give Seattle a 1-0 lead. As Levesque ran to the sideline to celebrate, teammate Nate Jaqua—pretending he had an ax in hand—began "chopping" him down at the ankles. Levesque wobbled ever so slightly, and tipped over like a felled tree. Thus, a legend/villain was born.
The Pac-10 Player of the Year while at Stanford, Levesque was drafted by the San Jose Earthquakes in 2003 but injured his ACL while playing for the U-23 National Team. He was sent, on loan, to the lower-division Sounders—and Seattle is where he stayed. That longevity, coupled with his being one of the only USL Sounders to transition to the MLS squad, made Levesque a fan favorite, and the "timmmberrr" goal celebration only helped cement that status. Liking Levesque became a statement in Seattle— signaling you've followed the Sounders for years—and the faithful paid homage with shirts reading "Real fans root for Levesque" or featuring his mustachioed likeness and a crown. Levesque's profile rose sufficiently high that celebrity website TMZ even noted when Seattle native Amanda Knox (she of falsely-charged-with-murder-in-Italy fame) dressed up as him for her first Halloween back in the States.
In Portland, obviously, the story goes a little differently. "The one thing I had going for me when I was traded [from Seattle]," says Timbers forward Mike Fucito, "was that I wasn't named Roger Levesque. To say the fans here dislike him would be a huge understatement." In 2007, for instance, while Levesque was playing as a guest with Portland in an exhibition against Toronto, members of the Timbers Army supporters group held up a sign that read "True fans hate Levesque." Joe Wilson, a "capo," or leader, in the Army, confirms the sentiment. "Yeah, Levesque," he says. "We hate him."
But what makes such contentiousness all the more bizarre is that, right up to announcing his retirement this past July, Roger Levesque could reasonably be described as the nicest guy in Major League Soccer.
I first meet up with him in May, after Seattle's U.S. Open Cup game against Atlanta, a 5-1 victory. The plan is to meet by the locker room, but to get there I have to pass through a line of more than 400 fans. Many of the Sounders are signing autographs and posing for pictures for a few minutes before moving on. Levesque, on the other hand, talks to Every. Single. Person. This is not hyperbole. He spends over an hour in the rain chatting with each fan in a casual, almost Clintonian manner. Dinner plans are made, email addresses exchanged, music preferences discussed. "Normally," says Mike Ferris of the Sounders communications office, "you see Roger about an hour after talking to fans and he'll have no shirt, no shoes, nothing, because he's given it all away."
Later, over beers at Peso's in Seattle's Queen Anne neighborhood, Levesque explains his philosophy toward fans. "Obviously I want to contribute as much as possible on the field, but I also recognize that I'm now one of the older guys … so I try and help out however I can, whether it's talking to fans after games or going to meet-and-greet events, or whatever. Honestly, this community has been so good to me, it's kind of the least I can do."
When I ask him how he feels knowing that Timbers fans have christened him Public Enemy No. 1, he takes a sip of his beer, and smiles. "Actually, I kind of love it." When my face shows that I'm not buying it, he goes on. "No, seriously, it's fun. It gets you fired up for the game. If they didn't care at all, it'd be worse. It shows how passionate they are." He stops to consider his statement, and laughs. "Even if they are kind of funneling that passion into hatred for me."
ON A SUNNY June day in Portland, the Sounders and the Timbers meet for the 77th time, in their first game of the 2012 season. It's been sold out for months, but three hours before kickoff the stadium is empty save for the Timbers Army members tasked with setting up their section. A team of 10 to 15 is draping hundreds of flags over the seats; others are busy constructing the drum and horn sections.
On the main stage in front of the Timbers Army area, the capos gather for a meeting. In England, soccer clubs have supporters groups full of fans who are devoted and passionate, but also sometimes aggressive and violent (as famously documented in Bill Buford's Among the Thugs). In Portland, however, the Timbers Army recruits—with their muttonchops, bandanas, fatigues and scarves—look less like hooligans than Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee members who've gotten really into sports.
On the opposite side of the stadium, Seattle's Emerald City Supporters are streaming in through a back gate, holding up banners that say things like "We Promote Forest Fires." The Sounders fans settle into their two sections, singing and chanting, while their own capos urge everyone on with megaphones.
Following a few hours of singing and shouting by the two supporters groups, the 20,000 "civilian" fans file in. Lineups are announced. When former Sounder Mike Fucito's name is called for the Timbers, ECS members turn their backs and chant, "Sounders reject!" Directly after the national anthem, Timbers supporters show off their tifo display, a gigantic banner that the home team puts up during rivalry games. Portland's roughly 20,000-square-foot display spans the entire north end of the stadium, and bears the motto "Legends are born when the previous are surpassed."
Despite being the heavy underdog coming in, Portland is first on the board as Timbers defender Steven Smith crosses a ball in and striker Kris Boyd puts it away. The Timbers Army freaks out, unleashing green smoke bombs and twirling scarves. As is his custom after every Portland goal, mascot Timber Joey starts up his chain saw and slices a piece of wood off a huge log. It is handed off to an official for safekeeping until the end of the game, when it will be presented to the player who scored.
Ten minutes later, Portland defender David Horst scores, this time on a diving header off a corner kick. The Timbers Army goes haywire. And just like that, Portland is up 2-0 at halftime.
Shortly into the second half, however, Sounders striker Eddie Johnson buries a left-footer in the goal directly in front of the Timbers Army; the Portland fans, as if warding off a hex, brandish their scarves and sing "Rose City Till I Die." Levesque, standing in a corner of the field with the other subs, begins to warm up— much to the delight of three Seattle fans behind the goal.
With the score now 2-1, the game becomes a chippy affair, with both Seattle's Fredy Montero and Portland's Lovel Palmer being issued red cards after a shoving match. As time runs down, an entire phalanx of security guards blocks off the ECS section from the rest of the stadium. Then, suddenly, the whistle blows and it's over. Portland fans explode, heaping abuse upon the Seattle faithful, who hold up scarves reading "We Are the ECS" as they file out.
Down on the field, Levesque, who didn't end up getting in the game after all, trades jerseys with his old teammate Mike Fucito. He walks off toward the locker room with the Timbers jersey over his shoulder, but for once the Portland fans—rejoicing in a mess of spent confetti—don't seem to mind.
A FEW WEEKS LATER, Levesque announces he's retiring to pursue an M.B.A. at the University of Washington. On the day of his final game—a "friendly" against UEFA Champions League winner Chelsea—more than 53,000 Seattle fans come out to send off their hero. On top of distributing thousands of posters saying "Farewell Roger," the ECS unveils a tifo display proclaiming "All Hail the King" above a huge portrait of Levesque. The man himself comes into the game at the 60-minute mark, and the crowd goes crazy every time he touches the ball.
Afterward, as the Sounders head over to the stands to thank the fans, they hoist Levesque onto their shoulders. He clambers onto the ECS platform, grabs a microphone and leads everyone in one last cheer.
I speak with Levesque a week after his final game. He seems relaxed and contented. He tells me he's going to a wedding in Germany soon, and plans to wander around Europe for a little while. I ask him how he thinks Timbers fans feel about his retiring. "I imagine they're probably thrilled they don't have to deal with me anymore," he says, then stops himself.
"You know, when we play them at home in October, I just might be involved. There may be one last encounter yet."

I was very pleased with the services that I received through High Performance Tutoring. I had an advanced statistics class my last semester in college. My tutor was excellent and he was available to meet with me whenever I needed. I finally started to understand the material and I passed with a B+!
High Performance Tutoring is the best tutoring service in Salt Lake City! After trying out several others, including the resources available at the University, I finally had great success with Victor, the tutor they matched me with. I loved working with him and earned high grades in all my math classes!

68% of our readers felt that 15 grand was a Nice Price for the super-original 1979 Shag Van, and it's hard to disagree with that judgment. Today we've got something a bit more recent.
Here's a car you don't see every day: a 1991 Olds Cutlass Calais Quad 442. The last of the Olds 442s! Unlike the Million Dollar '70 Olds 442, this one is priced- at the time of this writing- in the four-figure range, and it's a rare one- only 204 were built. The seller claims the 190-horse Quad Four was good for 14-second quarter-mile runs in this car, which is pretty good for a front-drive GM car of its era, and the styling is very much of its time. You could go faster for less money, but it's an interesting bit of Detroit musclecar history. Is $8,500 a Nice Price… or is it time to head over to Booth Numbah Two for the crack pipe?

We do hardcoat anodizing on 6000 and 7000 series aluminum alloys. Following anodizing, some components are sealed while others are Teflon® (PTFE) impregnated without sealing. Our products are subjected to extremely corrosive environments, so sealing is preferred. Parts hardcoated without the addition of lubricant are sealed in a nickel acetate solution. We have experienced diminished corrosion resistance and loss of colorfastness of parts sealed only by the Teflon immersion. Corrosion resistance is of primary importance, with lubricity being secondary. Might it be possible to seal in a conventional medium such as DI water or sodium dichromate after the Teflon seal? Some loss of lubricity might be acceptable if the benefits of a better seal were obtained. What effect, if any, does sealing have on the lubricity of the Teflon impregnated surface? Is the sealing as effective as an anodic coating without Teflon impregnation? Is there a preferred chemical solution for the sealing process for this application? T.K.
I suspect that your Teflon impregnation process consists of dipping the parts in a water based emulsion of Teflon particles. Neither this nor any other Teflon "impregnation" process actually impregnates the anodic coating because the anodic pores are too small to admit the Teflon molecules. So your unsealed parts end up with a film of Teflon that has widely dispersed Teflon particles on the surface of the anodic coating. This does help with lubricity. It does not seal the anodic coating. If you need a corrosion resistant, colorfast anodic coating with enhanced lubricity you must seal the parts in hot nickel acetate or boiling DI water, rinse in DI water and then immerse in the PTFE emulsion. NOTE: It also works to dip or spray your hardcoated, sealed parts with a Teflon dry-film lubricant, such as Vydax.

Did you know? You can customize your forum profile by going here and clicking "Edit My Account." Currently it's possible to specify: Real Name, Age, Occupation, Location, Club(s), Past Swims, Training For, Website, and Twitter.
You can choose to fill out as much or as little information as you like - but of course, more information promotes a richer forum experience for all members.
Any suggestions for additional profile fields? What else would be interesting to know about each other? Best time in the 50 Freestyle?
Important Note: I adjusted the privacy settings so non-members of the forum cannot view member profile information. You must be logged in to see profile info. Guests/non-members can still view discussions and comments, but not "activity" and profile info.
I would like to tell people who may be unfamiliar with forum software, that they have the ability to directly send a PM, Personal Message to other users if you want to discuss or ask something privatly.
All you have to do is click on the recipients profile picture or name and the option will be displayed in a short menu.
Just added Liking functionality for individual comments.
If you like a comment that someone makes, find the word "Like" above the comment (next to Quote/Edit/Delete/Flag), and click it. If you are a Facebook user, this will be familiar technology.
If you "like" being able to "like" stuff, let us know. If you don't like it, let us know too!
Added some simple Forum Statistics, which appear at the bottom of each page. Check out our newest members!
Out of respect to the technophobes out there (Barra, I'm looking at you), the Forum now supports BBCode for comment formatting, rather than HTML as used previously. BBCode is simpler and commonly used in other forums.
For documentation, click the "BBCode" link below any comment box, or simply use the buttons above the box to insert code.
By popular demand, the Forum is now offering the option of an Email Digest Subscription - either daily or weekly. The previous email subscription service didn't work well - it notified only of new threads (not new comments), and was getting caught in spam filters.
The new email service is powered by Mailchimp and should work much better. It sends one email per day (or week - your choice), containing all the new posts from that day (or week). It's pretty slick - here's a preview.
To subscribe to the Daily digest, go here:

We hope this will be useful for people.
The Forum privacy policy remains the same: We won't share your email address with anyone, for any reason. For the Mailchimp privacy policy (which is highly regarded), see here.
Ongoing, Evan will continue to be Main Chimp doing most of the Admin heavy lifting around here.
Just added a new discussion category, Locations & Networking. If you have a question along the lines of:
- "I'm traveling to Lagos, Nigeria to meet a guy who wants to give me a million dollars. Any good places to swim OW there?"
- "I just moved to Brighton Beach in NYC. Are there any OW groups around here, by any chance?"
- "I want to swim down the River Moskva, and am wondering where I can get permits or who I need to bribe? Anyone have an in with Putin?"
...then it probably belongs in this category.
Also, a few old threads have been re-categorized.
jcmalick Wilmington, DEMemberEvan:
-Swim in Lagos Lagoon! Bring the millionaire along on the boat with the money, push him off, and strand him with an empty gas tank, no oars, and swim for shore! Could make for a million dollar marathon swim!

Hi everyone,
I thought I'd take this opportunity for a couple reminders about basic internet forum etiquette.
* New topic = New thread
Please try to stay within the general confines of the thread topic. If you have an unrelated question or comment, it's usually better to start a new thread. Off-topic posts make threads less readable after the fact, and can be frustrating to current participants.
We realize sometimes this happens inadvertently - e.g., one person makes an offhand comment within a properly on-topic post, and then the next person responds to the offhand comment. In such cases, the moderators may choose to "split" the discussion into a separate thread. Nobody's fault - sometimes it just happens.
* Please limit signatures to three lines.
Signatures might include your name and a link to your website, but really not much more than that. Additional information belongs in your profile.
Overly-long signatures take up valuable screen real estate and can make the forum frustrating to read. If you have a signature longer than three lines, please shorten it.
(These guidelines have been added to the FAQ thread.)
Today the Marathon Swimmers Forum passed 400 registered, confirmed members. Here's to 5 1/2 months of great community, discussion, and camaraderie among some of the world's foremost endurance athletes! Well done, everyone.
Forum members: due to a spam attack I had to restore a previously backed-up site database. As a result, any posts from the past 24 hours or so are gone. Apologies for the inconvenience. If one of your posts was deleted, please feel free to re-post.
The FileUpload feature on the forum has been disabled, due to security concerns. Going forward, to include images in your comments, please use an image-sharing service such as imgur or Dropbox.

The FAQ has been updated.
Apologies to any members who may have received a spammy personal message recently through the forum. The spammer has been deleted.
Apologies to all for the extended downtime this afternoon, approx. 10:30am - 2:30pm Pacific time. Our hosting company was having server issues.
@Evmo retitled & rewrote the FAQ as New Member Guide.
Public Service Announcement of the day:
If you receive email notifications of Forum private messages, you cannot "reply via email." Your message will go to an unmonitored inbox. You must reply via your forum inbox.
This has been added to the Forum Member Guide.
In the ongoing effort to make this website a more useful, vibrant community for the world's marathon swimmers, I've added a new box in the right sidebar of the main Discussions page.
The new box is labeled Marathon Swimmers Blog Posts.
It displays a snippet of the most recent blog posts from a collection of (as of right now) 44 different marathon swimming blogs.
You can see which specific blogs are in this collection HERE. If you would like to add your own blog to this collection, please send me a request (preferably including your RSS feed URL) via private message.
Any feedback on this new feature is welcome - positive or negative. Let me know what you think.
Previously, if you wanted to subscribe to notifications of new forum posts, you had two options: RSS and Email Digest.
I've now added a third option: Twitter. The alias MSForumFeed will tweet whenever there is a new post to the forum.
NOTE: This new Twitter account is separate from our existing MarathonSwimrs account, which is the official mouthpiece of the Forum, with less frequent updates.
Private Messages vs. Public Messages
Similar to Facebook, on this forum you have the ability to send other forum members either private messages or public messages. It is important to understand the difference between these two types of messages. I think sometimes people send a public message when they think they are sending a private message.
Private messages (PMs) are the ones that are in your Inbox. There is a link to your Inbox in the top menu.
There are two ways to send forum members a private message:
(1) Go to your Inbox. Click "Start a New Conversation." Type the username of the person you want to send a message. Write your message. Click send.
(2) Go to the Profile of the person you want to send a message. Look at the menu on the left side of the profile page. Click "Send [username] a message." Write your message. Click send.
Public messages appear on forum members' profile pages, and on the Activity page. They are visible to all forum members (but not visible to non-members). Public messages are equivalent to writing on someone's Timeline or Wall on Facebook.
To send another forum member a public message, go to their Profile. Write a message in the box that appears near the top. Click "Add comment." Please remember, these messages are visible to all forum members.
The Forum has a new Facebook page. There will be unique content, not just cross-postings of Forum threads. If you're a Facebook user, we warmly invite you to 'Like' us
Apologies for the extended downtime this morning (PDT). Massive outage at our hosting company. Looks like we're back online now.
Sorry about the massive outage today. Blame Bluehost:
MSF's web host is upgrading their servers this evening. As a result, all MSF sites will be down for approx 15-30 minutes, sometime between 7pm and 1am Pacific time, tonight.
Do not panic.
It's been a while since we've bumped the MSF Facebook page:
Be sure to 'like' us for the latest happenings in the marathon swimming world, delivered directly to your facebook timeline!
Oh, and we are also on Twitter:
And... we're back.
I apologize for the extended outage. The hosting company we use for this site experienced a presumed denial-of-service attack from approx. 1pm to 7pm Pacific time. So, a widespread network outage, not specific to MSF.
No word yet on whether fans of Ben Hooper ( @AnthonyMcCarley's idea), or perhaps Putin trying to hack the MSF Awards ( @malinaka's idea), are responsible.
I just completed several long-needed back-end upgrades on the Forum. They should not much affect the regular user's experience of the Forum, so this is just an FYI:
- The Forum is now https compliant. Anything you type into the Forum is now encrypted, and you should no longer see the annoying "Not Secure" warning in your browser's address bar.
- The Forum's address is now forum.marathonswimmers.org instead of marathonswimmers.org/forum (i.e., subdomain instead of subdirectory). Any clicks or attempts to browse to old-style sub-directory URLs should automatically redirect to the new subdomain (so you don't even need to update your bookmarks, if you don't want!).
- Behind the scenes, the Forum has been moved to a new server running more modern versions of the underlying software. You may notice that browsing the Forum seems a bit "snappier" and faster loading - and it is.
There probably will be a few more kinks to resolve in the next few days, but let me know if you notice anything really wonky.
Known Issues
- "Like button" - temporarily disabled while I resolve some version compatibility issues.
Getting some reports of people's passwords not working after the recent software upgrade.
If this happens to you, please reset it via this link: https://forum.marathonswimmers.org/entry/passwordrequest
Or click "Forgot?" on the Sign In page.
Sorry for the hassle.

Iran would take action if the United States were to carry out an act of "stupidity" and attack Syria, an Iranian military official was quoted as saying on Saturday, but the comments later disappeared from the state-linked agency website.
Iran has steadfastly supported Syrian President Bashar Assad in his bid to suppress an uprising which both Tehran and Damascus see as a proxy war by Israel and Western states to extend their influence in the Middle East.
"If America were to attack Syria, Iran along with Syria's allies will take action, which would amount to a fiasco for America," Mohammad Ali Assoudi, the deputy for culture and propaganda of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was quoted as saying.
Assoudi's comments were first carried by the government-linked news agency Young Journalists' Club but were later apparently taken down from the group's website. The comments were picked up by Iranian news sites including Iran's Jam-e Jam newspaper and the BBC's Persian-language site.

Reverse Mortgages: Customers Have Little to Fear as Wells Fargo and Bank of America, Two Biggest Players, Exit Business
Wells Fargo, B of A to service existing loans, other lenders to fill void.
June 28, 2011 -- Wells Fargo has reversed itself on reverse mortgages. The bank, one of two biggest providers of such loans (along with Bank of America), said last week it would be exiting the business, although jittery customers apparently have little to fear.
Bank of America previously announced its own departure earlier this year. The two accounted for more than 40 percent of all such loans, according to Reverse Market Insight, which aggregates and analyzes industry data.
News that the two biggest players have turned their backs has left some elderly borrowers, who depend on reverse mortgages to fund retirements costs and pay medical bills, surprised and concerned. "I'm in shock," said a retired California dentist, 83, asked for anonymity.
The man took out a Bank of America reverse mortgage two years ago on his Sausalito home. He uses the $5,500 a month he gets from it to pay medical expenses for his wife, who suffers from Alzheimer's and needs full-time care.
"It's not anything I've heard of," he said of Bank of America's decision. "I haven't been notified. I presume people who have mortgages are still going to have them honored? I certainly plan to call the young lady who negotiated my loan and ask her what's going on."
Both banks say holders of existing loans can rest easy. While they will not originate any new reverse mortgages, they will continue to honor and service their existing ones.
Greg Gwizdz, Wells Fargo's national sales manager, reassured borrowers. "We will continue to service all of our portfolio," he said in a phone interview. "Don't expect any changes in terms."
He expects any slack created by his bank's and Bank of America's exits to be taken up by other lenders.
John Lunde, president of Reverse Market Insight, agreed with that prediction. Moreover, he says, people who might need such a loan in the future should have no trouble finding one. "These products will continue to play a role for the foreseeable future."
The providers of reverse mortgages, though, might change. "Maybe you won't find them offered by the institution where you do your checking. It may not be a big bank but an insurance company like MetLife, or some smaller, independent specialist."
An list of providers can be found on the website of the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association.
Reverse mortgages, officially called Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECMs), were created by the Department of Housing and Urban Development in 1987 to benefit home owners aged 62 or older. Federally insured, they make it possible for owners to borrow against their equity after first having received counseling on their obligations and their alternatives.
The loan is repaid after the owner dies, leaves the home or it is sold.
Further information can be found on HUD's website.
There's also a list of HUD-approved providers of counseling for people wondering if a reverse mortgage is right for them, including GreenPath Debt Solutions.
Elaine Bloom of Lawrence, Mich., calls her reverse mortgage a godsend. She and her husband, she says, "got a good rate. It's specified in our contract how much it can rise and how often. It's very controlled. I'm sure that's not appealing to most banks."
She professes sympathy for Wells Fargo and Bank of America. "It's too bad they're getting out, but I guess I understand why: Banks are in business to make money. I suspect the reason these two got out is it's too government-controlled; they can't make the money they'd like to."
Some Banks Fear Borrower Credibility
She's right. Wells, in a news release, cited two reasons for getting out: The unpredictability of today's home values. And, second, HUD restrictions "that make it difficult to determine seniors' abilities to meet the obligations of homeownership and their reverse mortgage" -- for example, their ability to pay property taxes and homeowners' insurance.
Regulations prevent lenders from obtaining financial information that would answer those questions about applicants.
Although lenders have long sought from HUD greater freedom to obtain financial information on borrowers, those efforts have not borne enough fruit soon enough to keep Wells Fargo and Bank of America in the game.
Gwizdz of Wells Fargo says having such information would make reverse mortgages "a safer product" for lenders. As it is, however, "If you're not able to verify the information, a senior may have no money in the bank and no ability to pay home owners insurance or taxes or to maintain the property. So, the lender is at risk from day one."
If property values fall and unpaid fees accumulate, the amount owed can soon exceed the value of the property.
It's a recipe for foreclosure, says Lunde of Reverse Market Insight, an outcome that "doesn't do the lender or the borrower any favor. Nobody wants a loan that winds up in foreclosure."
Mandatory pre-loan counseling is supposed to protect borrowers from that outcome by forcing them to consider solutions to their money needs other than a reverse mortgage. Somebody who needs money to fix up their home, say, might be better off finding a federal or state program that makes home-improvement loans.
The counseling system, however, isn't fool-proof. The 83-year old Sausalito dentist, for example, based his decision to get a reverse mortgage on conversations he had with friends who already had them. He can't now remember, he says, if he got the required counseling.
Bloom says she and her husband took out their loan in December and are using it to make enhancements -- "little fix-it things" -- that they hope will make their home easier to sell. "We're optimistic. The market here right now is picking up," she said. "Our goal is to list the house in the first part of July."
If it sells, they'll use the proceeds to pay off the mortgage, then kick up their heels and look to greener pastures. "We'll move to somewhere warm," she said, "where my husband can play golf."

Thursday workout will be telling for Freeman
ATLANTA -- Freddie Freeman is aiming to rejoin the Braves' lineup during Monday's series opener against the Rockies at Coors Field. But the first baseman will first test his previously strained right oblique muscle during a three-game rehab stint with Triple-A Gwinnett.
Freeman will work out with Gwinnett before Thursday night's home game at Coolray Field. If all goes well, the 23-year-old will be in Gwinnett's lineup for the entirety of this weekend's three-game series against Charlotte.
"I feel great," said Freeman after pushing himself during a batting-practice session in Turner Field's indoor batting cages on Wednesday.
Freeman strained his oblique during the workout staged prior to the regular-season opener against the Phillies. He homered in his first at-bat during the Opening Day victory over Philadelphia and hit .412 (7-for-17) with a .647 slugging percentage in the five games he played before the Braves shut him down.
In other injury-related news, Brian McCann is expected to begin catching in extended spring camp games on either Thursday or Friday. McCann, who is recovering from offseason right shoulder surgery, has been serving as a designated hitter while playing in Minor League Spring Training games over the past three weeks.
McCann is hoping to begin a rehab assignment with Gwinnett or Class A Rome next week. But the Braves have not revealed a definitive schedule. It is also unknown how long McCann's rehab stint might last.
While preparing himself to play in games, McCann experienced right wrist discomfort that has been described as just a minor ailment.
