Last Tuesday at the Value Investing Congress, I gave a 123-slide presentation (posted here) about my largest short position, K12 (ticker: LRN). In it, I shared the many reasons why I think the company (and the entire sector) have run amok and why, at 46x earnings, I think the stock is a fantastic short.
The Bull Case for K12
There are many reasons that explain the bullishness of some investors and nearly all analysts (seven of the eight who follow the stock have a buy or strong buy on it). First, K12 has grown its revenue 32% annually over the past decade, as this chart shows:
Revenue ($M)
And analysts are projecting revenue and EPS growth of 16% and 32%, respectively, over the next 12 months, fueled 10 new schools and enrollment cap expansion of 17,000 new seats. And K12 has less than $1 billion in revenue in a market that it says could become as large as $15 billion annually.
It's also important to note that online schools sector – schools in which students are supposedly learning by sitting at home all day in front of a computer, interacting with teachers almost exclusively online – can be an excellent option for certain students – for example, children whose pace is extremely accelerated, entertainers, solo athletes, teenage mothers who need to stay home with their babies, victims of bullying, children with cancer, seizure disorders, peanut allergies, etc.
K12 has a well-regarded curriculum, reports very high parental and student satisfaction, and has strong political support, especially among Republicans, for giving parents school choice. Finally, it's operating in a space, online learning, that has enormous buzz (think MOOCs, etc.).
So what's not to like? Let me count the ways…
(Note that my critique is specifically of K12, not all online charter schools, for-profit charter schools or blended learning schools. While I think the online charter school sector has, overall, run amok, there are a small number of good online schools – and a few students at even the worst online schools are doing well.)
Weakening Financials and Aggressive Accounting
In my presentation, I show that K12's profit margins and free cash flows are low and erratic, days sales outstanding has doubled in the past five years, the company uses aggressive accounting techniques to inflate reported profits, and K12's founder, Knowledge Universe, distributed its entire stake to its investors only a few weeks ago. But I want to draw particular attention to this chart, which shows that year-over-year revenue growth – critical for a stock trading at 46x earnings – has been falling sharply over the past two years, and is projected to fall further in the next year (to 16%):
Year-Over-Year Revenue Growth
Aggressive Recruitment Leads to Vast Numbers of Students Destined to Fail
While online schools can be an excellent option for certain students, it's a very small number – typically those who have a high degree of self-motivation and strong parental commitment. It's sort of obvious if you think about it. Do you think you would have learned more during your K-12 educational experience if you'd sat at home in front of a computer, or gone to school and had daily face-to-face interaction with teachers? How many of today's youth – in a world filled with 500 TV channels, texting, video games, etc. – do you think are better off at home rather than being at school? Lastly, what do you think the answer is for the most at-risk kids, who typically come from poor, single-parent households, in which the parent has little time or ability to be the "parent coach" that's so critical to online education?
Tom Loveless, an education researcher at the Brookings Institution who did paid consulting for K12 in its early years, said: "The enthusiasts for cyber learning have overstated the potential. What they keep forgetting is we're not talking about college students here. We're talking about high schoolers and young kids. The idea that parents go to work and leave their kids in front of a computer—it's absurd."
In short, online schools are only educationally appropriate for a very small number of students, which means that K12 and its peers need to be highly selective in recruiting students, warning parents away whose kids are unlikely to succeed at an online school, especially at-risk youth.
So what does K12 do? Exactly the opposite. Since going public in late 2007, numerous former employees have told me that K12 has adopted a growth-at-any cost mentality in order to support its richly priced stock. Jeff Shaw, the former Head of School of Ohio Virtual Academy (which today accounts for 11% of K12's revenue), told me:
After the IPO, I got discouraged because the company's priority seemed to shift from academics to growth – it wasn't so much about academic achievement but on delivering the promised enrollment numbers to shareholders.
[K12's] call centers that were encouraging enrollment and enrolling students who were obviously ill-suited for learning in a virtual environment. It was apparent to those of us operating schools that parents weren't being given the whole story. K12 oversold students' potential to be successful and obligated teachers to do things they wouldn't likely to be able to do.
Eventually, it seemed as though K12's enrollment strategy was to cast a wide net into the sea of school choice and keep whatever they caught regardless if the catch was appropriate for virtual learning or not.
…I am shocked that the stock continues to rise. I think it's a house of cards that is going to collapse. It boggles my mind when I read about and hear stories about what's going on in schools managed by K12.
Numerous other insiders confirm that what Shaw observed at his school was equally true across the company (notes from these interviews as well as the entire interview with Shaw are included in my presentation).
Deliberately Targeting At-Risk Students
Worst of all, K12 in recent years has been deliberately targeting at-risk students, who are least likely to succeed at an online school. K12 CEO Ron Packard claims that it's for noble reasons:
It's just K12's culture. We want to help kids. It's just so ingrained all the way through the organization about helping as many kids, doing the right thing for kids.
At another time, he said:
We don't want to be recruiting kids who it's not right for. That would be a disaster academically. It would be a disaster for the company economically.
This is nonsense. Luis Huerta, Associate Professor of Education & Public Policy at Teachers College, Columbia University, who has studied K12 carefully and published reports on virtual schools, told me:
The virtual providers like K12 are now mostly going after at-risk kids, kids on their last straw – if they didn't sign up, many would be dropouts or go back to juvenile court.
K12's phone banks have figured out a way to target dropouts and special ed kids. They will sign up anyone – as long as that warm body signs in periodically, K12 can draw enrollment money from the district.
It isn't for some noble reason – it's because these kids demand the least amount of education. These aren't kids and parents who will be knocking on K12's doors saying, "Hey, you need to do more for my kid."
K12 and Packard use this as an advertisement, saying they're doing noble things and wondering why they're being criticized. It's almost comical. It's so misleading and conniving.
Again, numerous people confirm Huerta's account. One person told me that online charters know that "internet advertising leads to lots of students enrolling, but none succeed. Yet online charters are spending big money on this."
And a former Employment Consultant wrote the following on the web site, Glassdoor:
They push these quotes and "true stories" about all the children they have helped, but the truth is, this product is really only good for about 10% of the market that they target. The only success stories come from homes where there is a large parental support and willingness for the student to learn. K12 markets to low income families who are oftentimes more interested in a free computer and staying out of truancy court than anything else. Not only that, but the curriculum (which is actually very well developed) simply will not work for a low educated family who is having a hard time getting their child to go to a brick and mortar school, let [alone] apply themselves in a home based environment. They push enrollments on families where the adult in the home cannot even read, speak, or write in English, knowing that these students are destined to fail.
While K12 celebrates how many at-risk students it's serving, I view it as an educational catastrophe in light of the these students' need for intensive, personalized instruction and hence how inappropriate online education is for most of them.
Low Spending on Teachers, Who Are Harried, Overworked and Unsupported
K12's online schools spend far less on teacher and administrator salaries than regular schools, as this chart shows:
Per-Pupil Expenditures for Salaries, 2008-09
Source: Understanding and Improving Full-Time Virtual Schools: A Study of Student Characteristics, School Finance, and School Performance in Schools Operated by K12 Inc., National Education Policy Center, 7/12.
In light of such low spending, it's not surprising that many teachers report excessive class sizes and feeling harried, overworked and unsupported. One teacher I spoke with, who taught English from 2010-12 at Agora Cyber Charter School, K12's largest, accounting for 14% of the company's total revenues, told me:
It was a horrible experience. Every teacher had the same experience I did.
Before I started, I was told there would be a lot of support, a low student-teacher ratio, and that if there were students who didn't show up, they'd take them out and replace them with another. But they took everybody. There was no teacher to student ratio.
When I started, I was assigned 300 students, which was very, very overwhelming. I would try to read each of the essays students turned in a try to grade it and spend the appropriate time, but I was really struggling with that. I couldn't keep up. I was told to skim over the papers and grade with a rubric.
For each class, I'd have maybe seven out of 30 students in that particular section attend – and even among those seven, just because their name was there showing them present doesn't mean they were at their computers.
A huge portion of my students never showed up or did anything. I have no clue what happened to them, though I have no doubt Agora was charging the state for them.
When it came time to give grades, I was told, whatever I had to do, I had to pass every student.
I would not say there was much learning going on. If students were doing the program like they were supposed to, it could work – but the majority of students weren't coming from a family where a parent would help them. (My notes from the entire interview are in my presentation.)
Again, numerous other former teachers confirm this account.
Horrific Educational Outcomes
In light of K12's growth-at-any-cost approach, targeting of at-risk students, and low spending on teachers, one would expect terrible educational outcomes – but they're even worse than anyone could imagine.
K12, of course, tries to hide this by producing a slick, colorful 132-page Academic Report (which you can download here), which claims that for K12's students in reading, "overall achievement was 196% of the norm group gain" and in math, "overall achievement was 97% of the norm group gain."
These results are virtually meaningless for a number of reasons:
K12 measures its students' academic growth using the Scantron test, which is not a state-adopted exam, but rather simply a diagnostic tool that is used by K12;
K12 has yet to allow independent external evaluators to both validate its data collection efforts and more importantly evaluate its analysis of student achievement data, across all K12 schools;
The Scantron test is given in the home, unsupervised and untimed, making it easy for students to get help from a parent or the internet;
Only approximately 70% of eligible students take the test (likely to be the better performing ones of course); and
K12's purportedly strong Scantron results stand in stark contrast to K12 students' dismal results on state tests.
K12 now admits that the Scantron results can't be relied on (but that hasn't prevented the company from peddling them to shareholders, politicians, regulators, etc.). K12 Executive Chairman Nathaniel Davis said, "The Scantron tests are optional for K12 students, and about 30 percent decline to take them. That means the company has been comparing a self-selected group of K12 students to the national norm, which isn't appropriate." The company, he said, needs to find "a more honest assessment" of student progress.
Let's look at other, independent measures of K12's educational outcomes. There are various ways to measure them, so let's start with percentage of schools making AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress) under the No Child Left Behind Act. As this chart shows, barely a quarter of K12's schools made AYP vs. more than half of all schools:
Source: Understanding and Improving Full-Time Virtual Schools: A Study of Student Characteristics, School Finance, and School Performance in Schools Operated by K12 Inc., National Education Policy Center, 7/12
The same study also showed that 29 of 36 K12 schools (81%) that were assigned school performance ratings by state education authorities failed to earn a rating that indicated satisfactory progress status in 2010-11. Finally, it showed that K12 students trailed state averages for the states in which K12 operates in both reading and math at every grade level (see charts in my presentation).
K12 claims that its dismal academic results are because it serves more at-risk students, but this is questionable for two reasons:
Though its proportion of at-risk students has indeed risen in recent years, it's from a low base so it's not clear whether K12 is, in fact, serving a higher proportion of such students relative to state averages; and
Even growth measures show dismal performance.
K12 argues (correctly) that "a more accurate method for measuring student performance is the progress a student makes over the course of a school year, also known as a "growth measure", so let's look at these results.
Tennessee, which is well known for having a robust system for measuring student growth, tracked the growth of students in math, reading and science in the 2012-13 school year at all 1,300 elementary and middle schools in the state, including K12's Tennessee Virtual Academy. As you can see from this scatter plot of math results, TVA students at the beginning of the school year are slightly below the state average (x axis), but their academic growth (y axis) is by far the worst of any school in the state (the results for reading and science are nearly identical, as you can see in my presentation):
I think it's safe to say that there's almost no learning at all going on at TVA – and I'm not aware that TVA is much different from K12's other schools.
In Ohio, home to K12's second largest school, Ohio Virtual Academy, which accounts for 11% of K12's revenues, the state recently reported that the six biggest cyber schools in the state all got Fs on their state progress reports, with OHVA doing worst of all. The state counts a progress score of -2 as a complete failure for a school – and OHVA's score was -27!
Studies of growth metrics in Pennsylvania and Colorado show similar results, which I document in my presentation.
Lastly, let's look at graduation rates. As this chart shows, the on-time graduation rate for the K12 schools is 49.1%, compared with a rate of 79.4% for the states in which K12 operates schools:
Graduation Rate
K12's Sky-High Student Dropout Rate
Another aspect of K12's horrific educational outcomes is the sky-high student dropout rate, which exceeds 50% annually at some schools. K12 has never released this data – it is nowhere to be found in its 132-page Academic Report, and in a conference call on November 16, 2011, CEO Ron Packard, while admitting that "[w]e track churn immensely," said that "we haven't chosen to" disclose churn rates to investors. Instead, the company only acknowledges that "online schools experience relatively high departure rates," but says that it has "maintained consistent retention rates over the past five years." However, on that same conference call, Packer did reveal that "about 60% of the kids who start with us in September are with us a year later" – meaning a 40% churn rate!
This is consistent with other data that various researchers and journalists have been able to piece together on a school-by-school basis. For example, Journalist Roddy Boyd of The Financial Investigator, in an article entitled, K12: A Corporate Destiny Manifested, collected data for the 2010 school year for four of K12's largest schools in Pennsylvania, Ohio, California and Colorado and calculated that student churn ranged from 24-51%. Another study of online schools in Colorado, of which K12's is the largest, found that "half the online students wind up leaving within a year."
Is K12 Defrauding States Via Lax Enrollment Policies?
In most states, K12 must stop charging states for students if they stop coming to school (i.e., signing in) after a certain period of time, but there is significant anecdotal evidence that K12 doesn't do this. Instead, it manipulates student counts and underreports student truancy and withdrawals to increase its profits.
A study of 10 online schools in Colorado concluded that "millions of dollars are going to virtual schools for students who no longer attend online classes." And in Pennsylvania, an article in the NY Times reports:
Several current and former staff members said that a lax policy had allowed students to remain on the rolls even when they failed to log in for days. Officials of the Elizabeth Forward School District in western Pennsylvania complained that Agora had billed the district for students who were not attending.
One of them was a girl who had missed 55 days but was still on the school's roster, according to Margaret Boucher, assistant business manager at Elizabeth Forward
My presentation documents numerous similar reports.
K12 Appears to Be Violating State Laws and IRS Regulations Regarding Nonprofits
Of the 42 states (and DC) that permit charter schools, most will only grant charters to nonprofit 501(c)(3) entities, for which the IRS code states: "none of its earnings may inure to any private shareholder and individual." This presents a vexing problem for K12, but it gets around this by signing long-term contracts with local nonprofit entities to provide management and other services. While this type of arrangement doesn't technically violate IRS regulations – nonprofits contact with for-profit businesses all the time – it's critical that the nonprofit be a truly independent entity with an independent board of directors looking out solely for the nonprofit mission of the organization.
This doesn't appear to be happening with many of the nonprofit charter schools K12 contracts with. Rather, the relationship is often so rife with conflicts and self-dealing that K12 effectively controls and operates the schools – and siphons off all of the profits for itself. Consider that:
K12 employees sometimes serve on the board of the nonprofits and, worse yet, are sometimes involved with their very creation. (One person told me that "Many of these nonprofit boards are tiny, clueless, dysfunctional, and have K12 employees on them.")
Contracts are often awarded to K12 without competitive bidding.
K12 usually directly or indirectly employs all key people, including the Treasurer – a particularly blatant conflict of interest.
K12 often reviews its own billings and then fails to provide the boards with detailed accounting for its expenditures.
The contract with K12 typically results in the nonprofit entity reporting minimal "profits" or, often, a loss, which K12 then "forgives" (in its latest 10K, K12 notes that: "We take responsibility for any operating deficits incurred at most of the Managed Public Schools we serve.").
Jeff Shaw of the Ohio Virtual Academy told me:
It was rather obvious to me as Head of School that K12 wasn't always interested in reducing the non-profits' expenses if those savings would impact the bottom line for K12.
K12 assumed control of most of the OHVA budget and a majority of any excess funds was soaked up by the end of the year, often to the point where the school would show a loss. In this case, the agreement with K12 required them to issue a credit for management fees so OHVA would show a small surplus for the fiscal year.
The volunteer governing boards assume a limited role in the school's overall governance. The boards tend to put their faith in K12 and count on it to do what is in the school's best interest. A Head of School walks a fine line in order to balance the best interests of both parties. In many cases, the boards know only what K12 wants them to know. It's like the fox guarding the henhouse.
For an in-depth expose of how this works at a K12-affiliated school in Newark, see this article in the Newark Star-Ledger last week: Newark charter school contract with K12 Inc. shows influence of for-profit companies in public schools.
In summary, many of these nonprofits are a sham. For all intents and purposes, K12 controls, operates, and profits from the supposedly nonprofit charter schools, in blatant violation of most states' laws and IRS regulations.
The IRS appears to be looking into this (click here). If it acts, the consequences could be dire for K12.
K12's Political and Lobbying Prowess
In light of so many red flags around K12, one might ask why states haven't acted more quickly and forcefully to rein in the company. There are many answers, but the most important is money and politics. One person I spoke with told me that in many states, "the Republican legislatures are bought and paid for" by K12. And the New York Times reported that: "An analysis by the National Institute on Money in State Politics concluded that K12 and its employees contributed nearly $500,000 to state political candidates across the country from 2004 to 2010."
But this vastly understates what K12 is really spending. Consider Pennsylvania, home to K12's Agora Cyber Charter School and the nation's largest online charter school sector, with 16 schools and 35,000 students. The Auditor General has released two scathing reports (click here and here), calling for a 35% funding cut, because "PA spends about…$3,500 more per student to educate a child in a cyber charter school compared to the national average, which adds up to $315 million in annual savings."
Yet the legislature hasn't acted. Why? Perhaps it's because, as the New York Times reported, in Pennsylvania K12:
Has spent $681,000 on lobbying since 2007. The company also has friends in high places. Charles Zogby, the state's budget secretary, had been senior vice president of education and policy for K12. In a statement, Mr. Zogby said he still owned a small number of K12 shares, but did not make decisions specifically affecting online schools.
However, increased scrutiny of PA online schools could result from a federal indictment of the founder and former CEO of Pennsylvania's largest online charter school, who is alleged to have stolen nearly $1 million in public money and improperly diverted a total of $8 million to avoid federal income taxes.
In my presentation, I document similar tales of K12's political influence in Tennessee, Ohio, Massachusetts, Idaho and Maine.
K12 Is Encountering Regulatory Problems Across the Country
Despite its political influence, however, K12 is increasingly unable to hide its bad acts and terrible results, so it's beginning to encounter more and more regulatory problems across the country. In Tennessee, for example, after the off-the-charts-bad results noted above, state Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman declared the Tennessee Virtual Academy's results "unacceptable" and demanded "an immediate turnaround", and the state turned down K12's application to open a second school in the state. And parents are figuring it out as well, as enrollment has plunged by two thirds.
K12 is also facing scrutiny in Florida and Georgia, where investigations (click here and here) revealed K12 employees covering up the illegal use of uncertified teachers, and class sizes of up to 275 students. And in Colorado, K12 is scrambling to launch a new school after getting hit with a double whammy: the board of the Colorado Virtual Academy has fired K12, and the district that hosted the school has said it won't renew COVA's authorization. Local media (click here and here) reported that "the school's 22 percent graduation rate, high student turnover and questions about COVA's management company, K12 Inc., originally led district staff to recommend denying the virtual school's multiyear charter application."
Lastly, K12 was denied online schools recently in New Jersey, North Carolina and Maine, which means that K12 is not opening schools in any new states in the next year.
This is the growth story that justifies a 46x P/E on this stock???
Public Policy Recommendations
States are responding to the online charter school sector having run amok by adopting one or more of the following changes, none of which are aimed specifically at K12, but all of which have deleterious consequences for the company:
A full moratorium on any new cyber charters and/or cap limits on existing ones.
Cut funding to cyber charters to levels below that of bricks-and-mortar charters.
Improved accountability systems for all public schools (e.g., every school receives an A-F grade).
"Default closure provisions" for all charter schools so, for example, if a school is in the bottom 25% of all charters in the state, it automatically won't get its charter renewed. Or, if a school gets an F for two or three consecutive years, it's automatically closed (though there's usually an appeals process). This applies to all charter schools, but would disproportionately affect the low-performing online schools.
Improved practices for charter school authorizers, especially getting rid of rogue authorizers.
Prevent charters from district/authorizer shopping.
I actually think the most elegant solution would be to let online charters pick and choose their students, and then tie a meaningful portion of what they are paid to each student's successful completion of a course and demonstrating proficiency/growth. This would incent schools to help students succeed and penalize them for enrolling those unlikely to succeed. (Note that states would have to change their rules to allow this, as most have laws that prevent any charter from being selective.)
The result would be online charters only serving a small fraction of the students they do now – which would be a very good thing.
K12 Needs to Shrink
I don't believe that K12 should go out of business. As I noted at the beginning of this article, the company has a strong curriculum and online schools can be appropriate for certain students. But K12 clearly needs to shrink substantially in order to properly serve students and states/taxpayers – which is exactly what happened to many for-profit colleges in recent years.
Jeff Shaw of the Ohio Virtual Academy said it well when he told me:
I can't see how K12 can get significant increases in student academic growth under their current model. They need to say, "Let's not focus on growth – let's first get the academics right and then look into growing in a controlled fashion so as not to sacrifice student achievement for growth. If student really achieve, the company will grow for the right reasons.
Why would anyone in their right mind sacrifice student achievement for company growth? Those of us at the school level sometimes felt as though Ron Packard was charging ahead full speed to grow, grow, grow and not focusing on long-term sustainability and student achievement.
This kind of thinking hurts students. If you enroll students who clearly are not appropriate for the virtual school setting, you're doing that student a terrible disservice. You have sacrificed a real person for your own economic gain. And I think that's immoral and unethical.
K12's managed schools are public schools. Every student has a right to attend, but as education professionals we have a responsibility to see that students are enrolled in a school most appropriate for their needs. In the end, it's the parents and students who make the ultimate decision regarding what school they attend. Our obligation as professionals is to present them with the realities of virtual schooling and how this school choice option may or may not be the best choice. The profit motive should not guide this process – but at K12 it appeared to.
There's a good case in Colorado of how shrinking a school can lead to better outcomes for students, as this article documents:
One of Colorado's oldest online programs, Branson Online School, is also its highest-performing. But to get there, the school had to cut back.
In 2005, the Branson school district on Colorado's southeastern border with New Mexico ran the state's third-largest online school, enrolling more than 1,000 students. By 2010, the school had dropped back to sixth in size, enrolling 427 students.
Branson assistant superintendent Judith Stokes, who oversees the online school, said the growth and lagging scores – combined with a critical 2006 state audit of online programs – prompted the ranching community's school board to slow down.
"We had grown very, very rapidly at one time, before the audit, and at that point, we pulled back," she said.
Stokes said growth slowed when the school focused on ensuring families understood the online program before enrolling because, "If you're looking for easy, it's not us."
In spring 2011, Branson online students beat the statewide average in proficiency in reading and were six percentage points short in math.
Conclusions and Catalysts
K12 is pursuing a growth-at-any-cost strategy that is harming countless students, likely violating numerous state and federal laws and regulations, and wasting hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer money every year.
What the company is doing is becoming increasingly well-known so states – and possibly the IRS – are waking up and thus the company faces increased regulatory risks. The likely result is that K12 will not only miss its growth projections (analysts project that K12's revenues and profits will grow 16% and 32%, respectively, in the next year), but will actually have to shrink substantially in order to properly serve students (and states/taxpayers).
A possible short-term catalyst is that the company could disappoint when it issues FY 2014 guidance in mid-October and/or when it reports Q1 '14 earnings in early November because growth has been slowing, preliminary enrollment data I've seen for a few schools are weak, and analysts seem to be factoring in rising margins and continued growth in revenue per student, both of which I think are unlikely.
Trading at 46x trailing earnings and 35x next year's estimates, K12's stock is priced for perfection, yet its future is likely to be far from perfect.
Since I made my presentation public last week, I am even more certain that my analysis of K12 is correct thanks to comments like these from people I know:
"I met with Ron Packard years ago and could tell his motivations had little to do with kids, everything to do with manipulating state regulation to protect his interests. I started digging into the results, the business model, the organization, and discovered much of what you lay out in detail in your presentation. As I said, they are terrible and epitomize everything that we should be working against in the ed-reform movement."
"I know the company very well and your presentation rings true. They have a well-deserved terrible reputation."
"You're totally right about K12 and, on top of it, they lie all the time. It's naïve to trust anything they say. So I'm not sure if their schools can be fixed, at least under the company's current leadership. There's no such thing as a successful online school in the entire country. To be sure, it works well for some students, but I'd guess only 15% of the ones cyber charters are currently serving."
Finally, lest you think I'm just talking my book for a quick trade, it won't take you long to verify that's not how I operate. Agree or disagree with me, my views are based on the company's fundamentals and are genuinely held, irrespective of my funds' position in the stock. Also note that I am not short K12's stock because I oppose charter schools, online education, or for-profit schools. To the contrary, as you can see from my bio, I'm a champion of new models of education, whether for profit or nonprofit, as long as they work for kids.

y = 5/x + 6 is essentially the same graph as y = 1/x except it is stretched vertically by a factor of 5, and shifted 6 units up. If we start with y = 1/x, then multiply it by 5, we get y = 5/x. This graph is the same as y = 1/x, but stretched by a factor of 5. Then when we add the + 6, that translates the graph up 6 units.

A Murfreesboro family of six has been left homeless after a fire at their home on Monday night.
Fire officials arrived at the home on Overhill Court just before 9 p.m. and found heavy fire coming from the back of the home.
The fire spread to the attic and other parts of the house.
By the time the flames were out, parts of the roof were gone.
Two adults and four children made it out of the home safely.
The homeowner said the fire may have started in an upstairs bedroom.
Investigators will head back to the house Tuesday morning to continue the investigation.
The Red Cross is assisting the family.

Last week, Shakespeare's Globe welcomed Southwark students through its doors to celebrate the 450th anniversary of the birth of the Bard, with Our Theatre, the annual community performance from Globe Education.
Over 140 Southwark students from schools around the borough paid tribute to their local playwright in their local theatre in an original ensemble performance on the Globe stage entitled Seven Ages of Shakespeare, illustrating the famous monologue charting 'mewling' infant to 'mere oblivion'...
Students, teachers, parents and friends filled the theatre to see young people from: ARK All Saints Academy, The Charter School, Harris Academy Peckham, Saint Saviour's & Saint Olave's School, Tuke and Highshore special schools and the Shakespeare's Globe Southwark Youth Theatre.
Below are some comments by teachers from participating schools
Susan Wilson from Saint Saviour's & Saint Olave's School, said: "The students and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. To actually see my students perform on the Globe stage was one of my personal teaching highlights. I was so proud of their dedication and professionalism. I know this will be a lifetime memory for all involved."
Jayesh Parmar is from Tuke School, a Special Educational Needs school in Peckham: "Our Theatre was a fantastic event that inspired students and staff alike. The whole project helped to give my students much needed confidence, it encouraged them to verbalise more and with greater clarity, and it was a wholly inclusive experience that catered for all groups equally.
Hats off to Globe Education who were supportive throughout and made the whole experience run as smoothly as possible. My support staff all said how much they were going to miss the project, how amazing it was for the students and how nice the staff from the Globe were- a testament to the great relationships forged, beautiful experiences made and mountains of hard work that they put into the project. We're really looking forward to next year."

The annual project is Shakespeare's Globe's commitment to continue founder Sam Wanamaker's vision to work with the Globe's local Southwark community. It is now in its eighteenth year and has been generously supported since its inception by PwC. Over 5,200 children have taken part to date.

A California man hired to advise the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians on casino projects at Spotlight 29 Casino has become the third person to plead guilty for the role he played in a $2.8 million kickback scheme that defrauded the tribe, according to the U.S. attorney's office in Los Angeles.
David Alan Heslop, 76, of Templeton, pleaded guilty Monday, April 7, to conspiracy to commit bribery.
Heslop admitted to paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to bribe Gary Edward Kovall, an attorney who for many years was the tribe's general counsel.
Kovall, 67, of Ely, Minn., pleaded guilty in March to conspiracy to commit bribery, and Paul Bardos, 58, a general contractor from Rancho Cucamonga, pleaded guilty last month to tax evasion. The fourth defendant, Peggy Anne Shambaugh, who was Kovall's girlfriend while the 18-month-long kickback scheme occurred, is being evaluated for pretrial diversion.
On May 10, 2012, when the indictments were announced, Steven Martinez, assistant director of the Los Angeles Field Office, said the defendants deprived the victims — the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians — of honest leadership. The co-conspirators " took advantage of their positions of trust by lining their own pockets with the tribe's money, including government funding designated for necessary services," he said.
The Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians operates Spotlight 29 Casino in Coachella and recently opened Tortoise Rock Casino in Twentynine Palms.
The kickback scheme, playing out from late-2006 through the summer of 2008, induced the tribe to pay companies set up by the conspirators about $2.8 million, the U.S. Attorney's Office said. Heslop, in turn, paid Shambaugh, about $300,000 to buy influence and reward Kovall, a confidant to and spokesman for the tribe.
Bardos, who performed and subcontracted much of the work awarded by the tribe, pleaded guilty to depositing income he earned into his personal checking account to conceal the money from his accountant and avoid reporting the income on tax returns.
Heslop's sentencing is set for June 30 before United States District Judge Michael Fitzgerald. Kovall and Bardos are to be sentenced before Fitzgerald Sept. 29. Each defendant faces up to five years in prison.
Shambaugh, now Kovall's wife, is being evaluated for pretrial diversion, according to a statement issued Monday.

Science and Theology: An Introduction
Fortress Press, 1 janv. 1998 - 144 pages
In this short masterpiece, eminent scientist and theologian John Polkinghorne offers an accessible, yet authoritative, introduction to the stimulating field of science and theology. After surveying their volatile historical relationship, he leads the reader through the whole array of questions at the nexus of the scientific and religious quests. A lucid and lively writer, Polkinghorne provides a marvelously clear overview of the major elements of current science (including quantum theory, chaos theory, time, and cosmology). He then offers a concise outline of the character of religion and shows the joint potential of science of religion to illumine some of the thorniest issues in theology today: creation, the nature of knowledge, human and divine identity and agency. Polkinghorne aptly demonstrates that a sturdy faith has nothing to fear and much to gain from an intellectually honest appraisal of the new horizons of contemporary science.

TOKYO--Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. (4502.TO) said Monday that it will receive a tax refund worth Y15.2 billion after lodging a complaint about a notice of correction it received from the Osaka Regional Tax Bureau.
Last year, the Japanese drug maker submitted a request for reconsideration of the notice, which pertained to profits from product supply between Takeda and TAP Pharmaceutical Products Inc., which was an equally-owned joint venture with Abbott Laboratories (ABT).
Takeda said it received a decision by the President of National Tax Tribunal that accepted its position.

The visioning sessions are nearly over, the data is being crunched but the learning doesn't stop for the Transform Rockford initiative.
"When we talk about Rockford and the Rockford area in 10 years from now, we're really talking about a different population. A different population of age structure and other things so it's something I think you need to recognize," said Dr. Norman Walzer, NIU Senior Research Scholar.
Walzer was the featured speaker at this latest community learning session.
Rockford University played host to the evening. The last visioning session is being held on the 31st.
After that, Transform Rockford leaders say they'll compile the data and start building a strategic plan out of the input you gave during the sessions.
Tonight, Dr. Walzer spoke about what makes a group like Transform Rockford successful. He says much of it has to do with participation.

You know you just proved one of Rachel's points, right? "They hold any minor indiscretion in a political candidate's past against him or her, even if that candidate has since become more conservative over the years." In my 20s, I used drugs, partied relentlessly, felt like "the man" was evil and I cared little for what government did. If you had asked me about politics, I would have told you that the govt really had our best insterests at heart. I evolved. I discovered that drugs were, in fact, bad for me. I realized that I had responsibilties and people relying on me so I could no longer party to excess. I now speak out against governmental intrusion at every turn.

Les Arcs, France, April 10, 2012 (AFP) — Eric Barone admits he's an attention seeker and is looking at joining a circus, but before that he is keen to set a new mountain-bike world speed record for cycling down vertiginous mountain slopes on snow.
Barone, who is in his 50s, has had a habit of defying the odds ever since he was afflicted with a serious knee ailment at age 10, one that affected his growth.
But an operation allowed this son of modest background—his father was a gutter-maker, his mother a secretary—to contemplate a sporting career.
On Monday he saw his attempt to better his own world record—222km per hour set 12 years ago—here come to grief as he recorded a best of 158kph, attired as usual in his polyurethane body-hugging strip and a helmet commonly used by cyclists racing time trials.
"I'm a little bit disappointed, but I remain optimistic," said Barone. "I will try again whatever happens, in better conditions with a harder surface of snow."
It is a miracle that this redoubtable and eccentric Frenchman has had the chance to beat his record at all, given the dreadful injuries he suffered in Nicaragua in 2002 while traveling at more than 170kph.
His crash—in which he was propelled onto rocks when his bike broke as he sped down a volcano—has been viewed by thousands on the internet.
Lucky to emerge alive, he nevertheless suffered six broken ribs and a broken femur, two severely grazed shoulders and several pulled muscles, while his face was left black and blue.
Barone, who had mistakenly thought that he was unbreakable, went through four years of hell with several operations and countless hours of physiotherapy before finally rediscovering a certain "balance."
Yet he admits that it took him some time to recover his confidence.
So much so that he didn't touch a bike for eight years, and even had trouble in conducting conversations with potential clients at the estate agent where he worked in Nicaragua.
"I said to myself, 'I will stop everything.' My priorities have changed: I am married and I have two children," said the keen follower of feng shui, who subsequently had a change of mind and got back on the bike.
"This new attempt was a personal challenge for me to get better in the head and to return to what I was before the accident," added Barone, who splits his time between Nicaragua, where his Nicaraguan wife lives with their two children, and his French base of Oyonnax near the Alps.
Barone, who was crowned both European and world mountain-bike downhill champion when he was 35, admits he is not sure what keeps him pushing the limits.
"I don't know if I am looking to take revenge on life, but like everybody I need to be recognized and keep myself in the limelight," he said.
That love of the limelight led him to be hired as a stunt man in several films, notably the 1998 French hit Taxi where he performed a mind-boggling stunt in doing a backflip over the handlebars of a scooter.
"That was a world first," he says proudly.

To design and build a table at Ponoko, a do-it-yourself furniture site, you download a starter kit, choose materials, and draw up your plan in Adobe (ADBE) Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand, or some other design software program. Upload your creation to Ponoko's Web site, and the company then contracts with a local manufacturer you have approved, which ships the parts. The site says it currently hosts thousands of user-generated product designs, though many are still pretty rudimentary.

Hi-Tec Altitude IV WP
4-star: 0
3-star: 0
2-star: 0
1-star: 0
I originally bought the Hi-Tec Altitude IV for hiking,…
Materials: Waterproof (seam-sealed) nubuck leather upper
Use: While working outdoors with wildlife, in sun and endless rainstorms
Break-in Period: None to speak of.
Weight: Weight Based on Women's 7: 16.3oz
Price Paid: $67.53
I originally bought the Hi-Tec Altitude IV for hiking, for which it worked well. Its true test of worth came when I began wearing it to work at a wildlife sanctuary in Florida. It has good traction to keep me from falling off tall, wobbly ladders. That these boots are waterproof is a necessity during Miami's seemingly endless rainstorms; I can walk through deep puddles and mud without slowing down. Not to be overlooked is the Altitude IV's tough exterior - helpful when a North American River Otter decides to bite down because it smells like the fish you just dropped on your foot!

With a major software update and new app store, the original Pebble gets a new lease on life -- a less stylish but arguably better value than the newer Steel.
Equal parts fashionable and functional, the Pebble Steel leaps to the top of the smartwatch heap, but does so by improving existing tech rather than adding something totally new.
For basic nuts-and-bolts blending on a budget, the Hamilton Beach MultiBlend delivers, though other models offer greater flexibility and food-processing horsepower.
For simple, travel-size smoothie making, look to the affordable Hamilton Beach Stay or Go Blender, but you'll have to spend more for hard-core food processing.
One of the most impressive historic car shows in the world also plays host to its share of new, exotic cars. We spent last Sunday at the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
This blender is a great budget option that will make smoothies and other simple snacks without complaint. Just don't expect anything extraordinary from it and you won't be disappointed.
The beauty of this affordable slow cooker is its simplicity. It sticks to the basics but also boasts extras that set it apart from the competition.
Still among the best all-around seven-passenger luxury SUVs, the 2008 Acura MDX never disappoints (except perhaps in its looks), but is due for some cabin tech updates and a little more power to match its handling.

CNET Car Tech takes a look at some of the most expensive new cars in the world at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is known for hosting some of the best restored historic cars in the world. But it also attracts quite a few new, and very expensive cars. We perused a few that were on display.
