Cameroon 0 Croatia 4
Cameroon became the third team to exit the World Cup finals last night after a sluggish performance and a red card for Alexandre Song gave a classy Croatia side hope of reaching the knockout stages.
The Cameroon team of the 1990s showed the world how exciting African football could be, but this year's version carry painfully little of their predecessors' swagger.
The temperature inside the Arena Amazonia had reached 30C before kick-off and the effects on Croatia were obvious in the early stages.
Cameroon — who had taken 91 minutes to register a shot on target in their opening 1-0 defeat

Need to Know: Pierre Garon is likely to play against the Bucs today but reports say he'll be on a "pitch count". Also, will a sloppy field come into play?

Despite the push to transform the federal government into a digital powerhouse, many agencies remain dependent on paper records, and current information management practices often are ineffective, according to a new survey.
OpenText and the Government Business Council – the research division of Government Executive Media Group -- polled 150 government managers ranging from the GS/GM-11 through SES level in defense and civilian agencies. The findings showed although managers acknowledge information management plays a key role in the business of government, improvements are needed.
Current information management systems received only a passing grade ("C") by federal managers, and just 22 percent gave grades of "A" or "B." Twenty-eight percent of managers rated their agency information management as "adequate," while 58 percent used "inefficient," "confusing" or "outdated" to best describe theirs.
The findings also revealed agencies have different formats for their records, but despite newer technologies, paper remains the most common. More than 90 percent said their agency manages paper documents, while 77 percent manage digital text or documents. Nearly 25 percent of managers say their agencies still manage microfiche or microfilm.
(To see more graphics, click here.)
Several managers said the use of paper records rather than digital solutions hampered agency record-keeping. Inadequate resources were deemed the largest obstacle to agencies in their efforts to overhaul information management. Another roadblock was the absence of a comprehensive strategy: 66 percent of managers said information management requires an agencywide approach.
Managers recognized the switch to electronic files would not only cut the time searching for records but also increase transparency and access to information. More than a third said digitizing records would reduce paper consumption, and nearly as many said it would slash operating costs.
The survey findings come nearly a year after President Barack Obama signed a memorandum that called on executive branch agencies to reform records management policies and practices and to develop a 21st-century framework for the management of federal records.
Despite the heavy focus on paper in the federal government, some agencies have pushed forward on their digitalizing efforts in hopes of seeing an IT transformation, the survey report noted.The Interior Department, for example, is adopting a cloud-based records management and electronic archiving solution. Additionally, the Library of Congress' U.S. Copyright Office is working to digitize its historical copyrights from 1870 to 1977 and have so far scanned 17 million cards.

Unisys Federal Systems' Venkatapathi Puvvada, this year's Eagle award winner for industry, stresses the importance of community.
Experts tell committee that business models, not technology, are the main obstacle to better sharing across systems.
Protests have delayed SEWP V, but industry experts say the contract vehicle offers agencies service and value that are hard to find.
The power of the individual informs FCW's coverage each and every day, but with the Federal 100, we take time to really spotlight and celebrate it. Get to know each of this year's winners.
The latest version of the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act purportedly protects companies from liability and individuals from government intrusion.
Popular CIO is headed for the private sector.
The Census Bureau hasn't established a time frame for its cloud computing plans, including testing for scalability, security, and privacy protection, as well as determining a budget for cloud services.
President Obama's proposal to boost government coordination with the private sector got a warm welcome in the House Homeland Security Committee.
The spy agency wants to better integrate cybersecurity into its traditional human intelligence operations.
So how about some across-the-board data standardization, removal of politically-driven "stovepipe" systems, and the courage to find the contractual resources to enter the cloud?
I wonder where all these "Federal Managers" were when the Presidential Memo was in Draft form last September and after it first went out last November?
If they had these opinions then, they should have voiced them LOUD AND CLEAR to ensure NARA was aware of the stumbling blocks for adoption of the new strategy.
The biggest issue isn't simply a lack of resources (funding and staff, which sort of go hand-in-hand) but a failure to determine the SCOPE of this effort and the enormity of the volume of records it will involve.
As for the Agencies currently managing records in microform formats, the concept of scanning and converting those is utterly ridiculous. Microfilm, properly processed and stored, has a known life expectancy of 500 years (LE500). Why on Earth would you scan it into digital form, then create a requirement to periodically convert and migrate the images to ensure persistent access for its full retention period? Unless there is a frequent access requirement to images in a random manner, creating a sound finding aid that allows access t the filmed images would remain the best bet for long term to Permanent retention.

Printing in black and white
For people who want to save on ink cost maybe this can help. I went to buy a replacement color cartridge for my HP printer and found it was $40. WOW! I will not pay that. Several people told me I can't print without it, I replaced my last printer because it wouldn't print without the color cartridge. I tried gray scale and that didn't work. Finally one clerk told me I can, I just have to find the option. So I kept looking and found the little down arrow under the gray scale option. When I clicked on it, there was an option for black and white only. Worked.
I read that the manufacturers hide options that they think we shouldn't mess with. In this case I think HP wanted that $40.. LOL
Those cartridges can be expensive, but if you have access to Costco, Walgreens, etc., you can get refilled cartridges for about 1/3 of new.
Also, I don't really think manufacturer's hide menu options to increase revenue. Modern printers have many, many options...the more common options are readily accessible and the less-used ones are in sub-menus.
I was joking about the revenue, well half joking.
My HP model is Deskjet f4480. If it is not there keep looking. There is an option for normal, fast draft and best, look in places like that.
Office Max also refills, but I was told by a customer he had two refilled and neither worked. Max also had their own Hp refills which were only $2 cheaper so not worth trying them. I don't print photos or anything that requires colors. Mostly I print computer hints, instructions, etc..
Have you tried the 'help' menu?
I've got a HP 5740. In the help menu there is 'Ink backup Mode' which states:
Use the ink-backup mode to operate the printer with only one print cartridge. The ink-backup mode is initiated when a print cartridge is removed from the print cartridge cradle.
Printing in ink-backup mode slows the printer and affects the quality of printouts.
Black print cartridge: Colors print as grayscale.
Tri-color print cartridge: Colors print but black is grayed and is not a true black.
Photo print cartridge: Colors print as grayscale.
I chose preferences > color > color-options > grayscale > black only, but left the dried up color cartridge installed: prints like a striped uh ape uh well fast anyway. :-)
Sometime ago I read, and it was confirmed here, that on a generic page printer black is actually a blend of the tri-color not the black cartridge. The black cartridge is used only for greyscale, and dedicated B&W printing.
From suggestion readings, and I have found this to be accurate, the best and easiest way to reduce ink usage as to the Internet is grayscale whenever possible, and target only the area to be printed using any method of choice. To print the entire contents of a page, particularly in color, is absolutely wasteful.
I haven't had any success making my Epson (CX4800) print in B+W so I am grateful to a friend who suggested:
Their prices are great and they always have "specials" available where you can get their best prices. I used to buy in large quantities because I didn't know how long the "sale" would last, but I now know they run specials constantly.
Mudlady, Office Max has cartridges like that but they are the small size that comes with your new computer. They only print about 140 sheets. The ones on that sight and at Office Max run only $2 or $3. less than HP, so I had rather buy HP. The size I buy is XL and they print 440 sheets, more for your money even though it costs $40.

At the moment, there aren't many people with CVS access for Dada Mail - if you would like CVS access, please first talk about the changes you propose and how it will affect the program. If the idea is sound and agreed upon, the change will be comitted. A good track record of this will allow you to have CVS access. Some reasons that patches will not be accepted is if the patch breaks compatibility with a previous version of the program, the patch is too centric to your own problem or the patch simply isn't very good.

Packers to look at Burnett for outside linebacker spot
Dallas Cowboys' free-agent linebacker Kevin Burnett is tentatively scheduled to meet with the Green Bay Packers on Saturday.
However, his agent, Ricky Lefft, says at least four other teams have expressed an interest and it's possible Burnett might sign with somebody else before the weekend.
He went San Diego Wednesday and Oakland on Tuesday. Lefft says Burnett might make two other visits but did not say where they might be.

ESPN's Wimbledon Ratings Even With '11, Households Up 8% So Far
Published July 4, 2012
All-England Lawn Tennis Club CEO Richard Lewis discussed the use of the Centre Court retractable roof Tuesday. Lewis: "We're an outdoor event, so we want to play the match outdoor, without the roof if at all possible. So if it's dry and players are playing on the outside courts, we would start with the roof open and then if the rain comes along and play is suspended, we then play the rest of the match under the roof." With the club also hosting Olympic tennis this summer, ESPN's John McEnroe asked, "Does that come into play when you're deciding about which courts to play on at this stage of the tournament?" Lewis: "No, not yet, but it's something in the back of our minds in terms of we are aware of our responsibilities to the Olympics. Right now, it's about completing the championships" ("Wimbledon," ESPN2, 7/3).

Cast Iron baseboards
lthebmanlMarch 3, 2013
I am a first time home-buyer and I have an interesting problem with my cast iron baseboard heaters.
I have a two story house. The heating is only one zone.
The only room that gets hot in the upstairs bedroom. Two other baseboards get mildly warm and the rest are cold.
I have a suspicion that it is a water flow issue; however, I went to the next room to bleed the line, the water came out in a solid stream.
I have found one valve downstairs that reads open and close. It was open.
I have yet to check the rest of the baseboards.
I'm hoping someone can help me troubleshoot this issue.
Thank you in advance.

Eva Marie training again
It appears that Eva Marie has regained her health, as she has started doing in ring training again. Rather than working out at the performance center, however, she has opted to stay in California and work at a local school. WWE might be allowing that because the school is owned by Brian Kendrick, who recently made a return to the company by working a match on NXT. No word yet on when Eva will be back on the road for the weekly tours.
March 27, 2015
Jerry Lawler hosting
The internet wrestling community went into outrage yesterday when it was reported that Eva Marie would be replacing Jerry Lawler as the host of the hall of fame ceremony. WWE heard the complaints. Lawler himself stated that the rumors are not true, but there is speculation running around that the front office decided to cancel the change because of the negative reactions on social media. Management wanted to go with a younger host.

Steve Austin at Wrestlemania
The widespread belief for the longest time was that Steve Austin would at least be hanging out with the WWE stars during Wrestlemania week. Some even felt that he might even make an appearance on the actual pay per view. Austin, however, noted on his latest podcast interview that he is actually going to be watching the show from his Broken Skull Ranch. That has raised eyebrows and people are now wondering about the relationship between the two sides.

Rey Mysterio not retiring
Earlier in the week, it was reported that Rey Mysterio had told a CMLL wrestler that he was going to be retiring because of what happened with Perro Aguayo. The unnamed wrestler might have been lying. While doing a club appearance near Wrestlemania, Mysterio informed fans there that he had no intentions of retiring at the moment. A lot of people in the industry are curious to see just how long it will be before he steps back into the ring.

Adrian Neville promotion
As of this very moment, it looks like WWE has Adrian Neville penciled in for a promotion to the main roster. The way they're going to do this is by having him winning the NXT tournament and earning a spot in the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal. The front office feels that it would be a good way to introduce him to their mainstream fans. There is even a slight chance that he might be given the win at Wrestlemania as a way to springboard his push.

4dr SUV
(2.5L 4-cyl. 4-speed Automatic)
2010 Toyota RAV4 SUV Sport 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 4A)
After wanting to downsize from my minivan with the additional goal of improved gas mileage, I initially test drove a pre-owned Ford Focus and it was ok but quite compact especially the second row leg room. I happened upon the RAV4 in the same lot. I really liked how spacious the leg room was in the second row and I really liked the back storage. I am 5'2" so the cargo door is a plus because I had to be on my toes with the van hatchback.The full sized spare tire is also a plus; I read some neg reviews about its location but I think it's much easier access. My combined gas mileage is 25.4 M-F due to hwy commuting; on the weekend which is more in town it's 25.1. Overall a good value.

Check engine light issue, will be covered by warranty.
Excellent ride and handling for the SPORT model !
Does exactly what it says it will !!
Handles corners well, hugs the road and toes not tilt in the curves.

Don't buy unless you want to feel every bump on the road - The sports model with Flat-Free tire has a very noticeable bumpy ride. At this it is very annoying, with the vehicle wobbling, driver shaking like he has convulsions. Works well on a smooth and even road, which is not realistic to expect. This ride quality does even come close to 10-year old Camry and 4-year old Sienna.

Hi, I am very disappointed with the bumpy ride for my sports model with the flat- free tires. I am not sure if it is the tires or the suspension. Very annoying! Very annoying! Feels like I am sitting on some vibrator when going over normal road bumps. It needs a perfectly smooth road to provide a smooth experience - Just not possible.

It's ok. Just ok. Just enough power. Quite disappointing mileage. Cheap feel to everything, especially closing doors. Sounds like tin can. Wish we'd looked longer. I'd be depressed if this were my car, it's my wife's and she doesn't notice. Whew. Dealership staff were great to deal with however.

This has been the most enjoyable auto I've owned. I love everything about it. I bought this RAV4 2010 in Oct. '09 after much anguish, having just bought a brand new Honda CR-V-EX. As soon as I drove the Honda off the lot, I knew I made the wrong decision. 6 weeks later and taking (an obvious) loss, I traded it for the RAV and have never regretted this costly mistake. It's a fun, comfortable vehicle to drive, has a lot of power (4 cyl.), handles beautifully and most of all, being single, feel extremely safe with any Toyota but especially the RAV 4. I've had it now for 7 months and I still have that new-owner-can't-wait-to- drive-it excitement about it.

This is my second RAV4 and I didn't hesitate to buy it. Though I did enjoy my prior Base model V6 this time I went with a Sport model 4cyl. This is my top choice for its reliability, space, look, 4x4 option, moderate price and most of all safety. This 2nd vehicle came about after an accident resulting in a total loss, but I can not speak enough about the structural integrity this vehicle retained under duress.

"5 Casting Directors Who Deserve Oscar Nominations": For some inexplicable reason, the Academy Awards have yet to create a category for Casting Directors. Katey Rich at Vanity Fair does it for us.
"Though documentaries like Casting By and even an open letter from Woody Allen have boosted their profiles, casting directors still don't receive Oscars—which is why we've stepped in to pick five of them whom we'd nominate were we in charge. We spoke to the five women responsible for some of the most diverse and surprising casts of 2013, from authentic teenage faces to well-known directors in supporting roles to a multi-talented actor who, crucially, wasn't allergic to cats."
"The Predictability of Oscars Season": Jen Chaney at The Dissolve rightly decries the utter predictability (and monotony) of the Oscars and Oscar season.
"The act of picking and forecasting the Academy Award winners in advance is not new, or even semi-recent. GoldDerby, Tom O'Neil's award-tracking website, has existed since 2000. Entertainment Weeklyhas been doing its strain of informed Oscar guesswork since 1990, the first year of the publication's existence. Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel used to select their own Oscar victors in an annual television special called Siskel And Ebert: If We Picked The Winners that was born in the early 1980s. (Some episodes—including this gem, which singled out Tom Cruise in Born On The Fourth Of July over Daniel Day-Lewis in My Left Foot for 1989's Best Actor—can be be found in full online.) And long before all that, avid film fans were turning their own pre-Oscars preferences and conjectures into an annual sport."
"Generation X's Midlife Crisis Bites Back": At Esquire, Logan Hill writes about Generation X's midlife crisis in relation to Her, Reality Bites and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
"And why not? Gen X — a term that's still most accurate when applied to the sort of person who has strong opinions about Pavement and less useful when not — is that rare generation that wasn't defined by war, depression, or social upheaval. It was named for its lack: that "X," which stood primarily for all those X-ed out marriages. Latch-key kids like Troy Dyer were birthed by the same adults who created record-breaking divorce rates and a pop culture seeded with midlife crisis tales (from Thirtysomething to John Irving). Gen X was literally born into midlife crisis: 1965 marks both the beginning of "Gen X" (which includes anyone born between then and Reagan's election) and the birth of the phrase "midlife crisis," coined that same year by psychologist Elliot Jacques"
"The $1M-A-Month Business Behind Your Favorite Twitter Accounts": It turns out some of the most popular Twitter accounts are making money for their tweets. Read more by J.J. Colao at Forbes.
"If you're one of the 1.14 million followers of the @HistoryInPics Twitter account, which posts delightfully obscure pictures of historical subjects and events, you may have asked yourself, 'Are they making any money off this?' The answer is yes. Quite a bit of money. The account is one of 200 across Twitter, Facebook and Instagram run by Social Trends Media, a young company headed by CEO Eric Damier, 30, and cofounders Xavier Di Petta, 17, Kyle Cameron, 19 and Paul Pliesovsky, 36. After launching during the last week of November, they did $800,000 in sales in December, then another $120,000 the first week of January before pulling back to work out some technical kinks. Once they relaunch in full force—Damier is aiming for next week—they hope to do $1.2 million in March."
"The Male Gaze and Criticism": Colin Biggs on the white men who predominately populate the film and TV criticism industry. Read more at Movie Mezzanine.
"It's easy to forget sometimes that film/television critics are a homogeneous group (white men predominantly). A group of males that spend a majority of their time discussing their favorite shows and movies, and sometimes debating when consensus isn't had. These conversations are sometimes polite, sometimes not, but most avoid the realms of abusive behavior. However, when gender dynamics come into play, all bets are off."
Banksy's latest piece of art serves as a commentary on our incessant need for retweets, favorites and likes on social media.

How to embed photos in a post
Here's a short guide to posting images in the forum. You can use this guide if your photos have been uploaded to Flickr or Photobucket, or if you simply know the photo's url at your preferred image host.
Most image hosts make it easy for you to find the code you need right on their websites. All you need to do is navigate to your photo, find the share menu, and copy the code identified as HTML.
On Flickr it is here:
On Photobucket it is here:
Next, you need to paste the code in the Message field at GardenWeb. Do NOT use the field for posting a link, below.
When you hit "Preview Message," if you have the code right, you will be able to see the images.
Once you have the correct code, you can tweak it to fit your preferences. You can change the image size, add a border, etc.
Here I have both my Flickr and Photobucket images at the sizes I want. It is good forum etiquette to resize large photos so that people do not have to scroll in order to see the whole image. When you post photos that are too large, it can make it harder to read all the posts in that thread, not just your own.
[Alternate Method]
The most simple way to post an image is to use the very basic code shown below. When using this code in conjunction with photos at an image host like Flickr, right click on the photo and select "Copy image location" to get the url you want.
Hi GG, Wow!! Great job! I'm definitely putting this on my favorites. We get this question asked all the time in different GW forums as well. I'm so bad at explaining it, this will make it so much easier, showing them exactly how to do it.
Thanks for taking the time to post the tutorial...SO helpful!
I'm sure many will appreciate it :o)
Tee hee. The only thing that confused me is that I kept thinking I was at the bottom, except that I am not greedyghost. Do you have a preference between Flickr and Photobucket? I never end up using my Flickr account for whatever reason. I guess I felt like that would be where I put my 'good' photos, if that makes any sense. And then I don't put any photos in there, at all.
lmao mayyan. xD No one in particular was the inspiration for this post. Like Pug says, it's a frequent question and I want to see everyone's plants!
/Quinn I had the same reaction when I was editing it, except... I am greedyghost, so it was worse.
I also prefer Flickr. As you can see, there are only 2 photos in my Photobucket account(both for the sake of example). I used to use it for sharing photos with family, but I let it go extinct when I started posting my hobby photos on Flickr. Like Mike, I find the networking potential to be very high on Flickr. I was surprised how many Hoya people contact me about my pictures and I don't even have a very representative sample uploaded. They weren't just messaging to say "pretty picture", either, but were serious Hoya people with serious photo archives, including macro photos of flower parts, etc. So, that's pretty fun stuff there. I also prefer the aesthetics and handling of the site.
There is some argument for Photobucket being a better host for people who are less comfortable with technology. It's less flashy and more repetitive, thus more fool-proof. I find the learning curve to be a little higher for Flickr. On the other hand, for the purpose of posting pictures on this forum, Flickr gives you more control over the code generated, if you're not comfortable with HTML.
In the end, it only takes half hour to fully acquaint yourself with any host, and once you've got it, you've got it. There are a lot of hosts out there that I haven't explored and maybe I should.
Holy Toledo GG!... what a great thing you did for so many of us!... I too will bookmark it as a fav... and when I can..at work... will print it out... but first... move into my apt!... unpack boxes... closing on house tomorrow!!!!... internet will be down beginning sometime this Friday 9/16.. until Monday 9/19... OMG.. I don't know how I will function w/o my daily dose of hoya and friends!.. Thanks GG for so much help!...Eileen PS... does anyone have a simple way to move my plants to another location w/o damaging them... thanks
EXCELLENT JOB GG! I think the worst part when people post large photos is the text for all the posts IN THAT THREAD...is REALLLLLY long from side to side... making it a pain to read...having to scroll back and forth.... Its too bad Garden web cant make your post into a sticky.... Thanks for the EXCELLENT INFORMATIVE post for those that dont know !!! Cheers!
Thanks everyone. ^_^ You make me smile.
I've been meaning to say for a while, that when I describe changing the size of the photo above, that is only changing the display size. As far as the internet is concerned, the photo is still its true size, and bandwidth is consumed accordingly.
Thus, when you upload your photos to your host site, it is courteous to control their actual size. You can do that either before uploading, or using the web-based software that most photo host sites make available.
One day I'll have to post a guide on rotating and shrinking photos.
And one day I'll have to start behaving myself and shrink all my photos because some of these threads definitely load slow after we've all posted a zillion 2,000 x 1,000 photos to them. LOL
Of course if you have a background-worthy photo you should definitely not resize it because I love stealing everyones' Hoya photos to use on my desktop. ^_^

S&P Dow Jones Indices and MSCI plan to carve out real-estate investment trusts from the financial sector, creating an 11th category for stocks starting in 2016.
The announcement, made last week, is big one for the indexing world, as it will majorly shift the composition of index-tracking mutual and exchange-traded funds. For instance, shares of Vornado Realty Trust (VNO) will fall out of ETFs such as the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF) and others that adhere to the so-called Global Industry Classification Standard.
"Investors told us that there are significant differences between public Real Estate and Financial companies," said Remy Briand, Managing Director and Global Head Equity Research at MSCI, in last week's release.
A sector hasn't been added since the so-called GICS was launched in 1999, says Victor Lin from Credit Suisse's trading strategy unit. Mortgage REITs will retain their "financial" sector designation.
Lin notes that REITs make up about 14% of the S&P 500 financials sector. Interestingly, REITs carry even more heft in the mid- and small-cap spaces; REITs account for 43% of S&P Mid Cap financials and 35% of the S&P 600 Small Cap financials.
Credit Suisse estimates that about $23 billion in ETF assets will be affected by change, which could result in $3.8 billion in REIT selling. For now, it's all slated to happen on Aug. 31, 2016, though the timing could change.
Booting REITs out of the S&P 500 financial sectors will trim the dividend yield of the sector to an estimated 1.5% from 1.7%, Lin says, based on current figures.
Utilities and real estate investment trusts are having a bad day.
The exchange-traded funds linked to these interest-rate sensitive sectors are losing ground today after a blockbuster June jobs report sent Treasury yields higher. It's not surprising. Strength in the workforce and the economy means hastening the end to the Federal Reserve's asset buying binge. Utility stocks and REITs, prized for their high dividend yields, lose their luster as interest rates rise in an improving economy.
The SPDR Utilities Sector ETF (XLU) slipped 1.35% to $42.39 after the opening bell with more than 5.2 million shares changing hands, while the Vanguard REIT Index ETF (VNQ) gave up 0.6% to $74.43.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note climbed to a two-month high of 2.678%, after nonfarm payrolls increased and the unemployment rate fell more than expected. As of 11 a.m., the yield sat at 2.659%
The XLU had dropped 2.9% during the two previous sessions after closing at a six-year high on June 30.
In other ETF action, the ProShares Ultra Utilities (UPW) fell 2.2% to $86.75, and the Vanguard Utilities ETF (VPU) dropped 1.2%, followed by the Guggenheim S&P Equal Weight Utilities (RYU), which fell 0.9% to $72.13.
The iShares U.S. Real Estate ETF (IYR) fell 0.82% to $71.30 after more than 2.8 million shares changed hands.
If you ignore funds whose chief focus is real estate investment trusts, only four percent of REITs are owned by U.S. mutual funds. That's a "measly" proportion that should grow over time, Citigroup's (C) strategists argue this morning.
Mutual funds' REIT weightings would need to jump by more than 50% over today's $115 billion just to get to a market-weighted position, according to Citi's Michael Bilerman, Joshua Attie, Quentin Velleley, Eric Wolfe and Emmanuel Korchman. Mind you, this isn't necessarily an argument that the smalltime investor will get into REITs, but rather that they should. Of course, you can also argue based on this data that eventually more mutual funds probably will.
So who owns REITs? Add in the "dedicated" funds and the percentage grows. Citi estimates that another 4% of REIT ownership is in index funds sold as mutual funds, and another 5% in broad-market ETFs.
In total, "dedicated" ownership, that is, professional REIT watchers, are the big presence. Dedicated mutual funds are 20% and 5% for similarly themed ETFs, 8% pension funds and "significant" ownership by Japanese dedicated mutual funds, around 10%. "Add in another ~5% for insiders and ~15-20% for retail – and there is not a lot of 'room' left for the non-dedicateds," the analysts write.
It's interesting that, even as REITs are overlooked by many mutual funds, "REITs have some of the highest levels of ETF / index ownership across all of the sectors":
Including the mutual funds that are technically index (ie – market weight), we estimate they own over 12% of the sector. Part of this may simply be driven by the sheer number of companies and investors looking to just get real estate exposure rather than getting bogged down choosing one of 100+ stocks.
Some widely used ETFs options include the Vanguard REIT Index (VNQ), DJ Wilshire REIT ETF (RWR) and iShares FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Real Estate ex-U.S. Index Fund (IFGL).
As exchange-traded funds and other investing vehicles have ballooned in number, the task of figuring out what works well and what doesn't has only gotten harder. Barrons.com's Focus on Funds looks under the hood of ETFs, mutual funds and hedge funds for overlooked values, actionable ideas and the latest pitfalls for fund investors.
