How University Endowments Respond to Financial Market Shocks: Evidence and Implications
Endowment payouts have become an increasingly important component of universities' revenues in recent decades. We test two leading theories of endowment payouts: (1) universities smooth endowment payouts, or (2) universities use endowments as self-insurance against financial shocks. In contrast to both theories, endowments actively reduce payouts relative to their stated payout policies following negative, but not positive, shocks. This asymmetric behavior is consistent with "endowment hoarding," especially among endowments with values close to the benchmark value at the start of the university president's tenure. We also document the effect of negative endowment shocks on university operations, including personnel cuts.

Theater review | Rockettes signal that holidays are nigh
NEW YORK — Legs. Stretched out bare on a beach, they unmistakably signal summer. Encased in sequins or velvet, prancing by the dozens across a celebrated New York stage and rising into the air like Roman candles, they indicate the approach of winter. The famous gams belong to the Rockettes, who are again kicking off the holiday season.

VISIUS® Surgical Theatre featuring KARL STORZ OR1® Integration Solutions enhances OR control, image and connectivity management and patient safety applications
WINNIPEG , Sept. 25, 2012 /CNW/ - IMRIS Inc. (IMRS) (IM.TO) ("IMRIS" or the "Company") today announces a global partnership with KARL STORZ GmbH & Co. KG to merge VISIUS Surgical Theatre system integration with OR1 technology from KARL STORZ. IMRIS's unmatched intraoperative vision in specialized hybrid operating rooms will be combined with KARL STORZ's range of state-of-the-art networking technologies to provide efficient image and data management, facilitate workflow and enhance safety in the intraoperative imaging environment that is the VISIUS Surgical Theatre.
"Our customers are looking for tools to simplify management of intraoperative data and optimize clinical workflow and efficiency for their new suites and KARL STORZ is a proven long-term innovator in this space," said David Graves , Chairman and CEO, IMRIS. "VISIUS Surgical Theatre integration goes beyond conventional OR integration as we are able to build advanced safety features into the system. When we merge proprietary IMRIS system integration with Image Management, Network Access and Data Aggregation from KARL STORZ OR1, we create an ideal intraoperative imaging suite."
Connectivity, image management workflow, patient safety applications, and service are the primary features and benefits of this collaboration. KARL STORZ OR1 operating rooms combine digital technologies that provide intuitive centralized control of systems and equipment within the room. Innovative digital control systems seamlessly integrate an array of key OR devices and environmental components. These capabilities will combine with IMRIS's integration elements of ScanCheck, collision detection systems, and system interlocks for safe control of on-demand imaging movement and technology for eliminating RF interference during imaging.
Every VISIUS Surgical Theatre featuring OR1 provides cutting-edge network capabilities to aid communication, such as video streaming, documentation and archiving, as well as video on demand for educational purposes. It offers exceptional ergonomics and a user-friendly design to optimize the workflow and patient safety. Both IMRIS and KARL STORZ are innovators in improving image and data access, ease of workflow and safety in the OR environment.
"KARL STORZ has built its expertise in OR integration since the late 1990s and since then pioneered this field as an innovation leader. With our integration and networking know-how, we are an ideal complement to IMRIS's leadership in its field of image guided therapy solutions. As the IMRIS technology expands beyond neurosurgery, KARL STORZ is perfectly positioned to support other applications as we have leading solutions in every minimally-invasive surgical specialty," said Charlie Wilhelm , President and COO, KARL STORZ Endoscopy-America, Inc.
KARL STORZ recently celebrated their 3,000th U.S. OR1 system installation, which was completed at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore and represents the first installation under this partnership. IMRIS has sold 55 systems around the world and continues to expand its portfolio in the areas of intraoperative MR and CT, MR guided radiation therapy and image guided robotics.

1. Re: Is ICMP not audited?sliedl Apr 11, 2013 2:49 PM (in response to PhilM)
With tongue-firmly-in-cheek I would say "Of course it's by design if that's how it works!"
I have been wondering this myself as I tried this out last year sometime. I imagine we do not audit this simply to not clutter up the audit stream. I can't figure out myself how or even if you can make the firewall audit this. I have put the question to Engineering for an answer.
2. Re: Is ICMP not audited?PhilM Apr 11, 2013 3:03 PM (in response to sliedl)
I'd be interested to know what they come up with.
Having spent more years that I can remember preaching to customer's "This solution audits everything. If there's nothing in the audit, then it didn't happen", this little situation has caught me out.
When I asked the customer to check his own audit and he told me there was no sign of an acl_deny or a netprobe entry from the source IP address, I questioned whether the source host had its default gateway pointing to the correct address. When a tcpdump on the Firewall's interface showed the echo responses arriving, I felt a little foolish - more so when I came up with the same results on my own installation.
3. Re: Is ICMP not audited?sliedl Apr 12, 2013 1:44 PM (in response to PhilM)
There is a sysctl value to turn this auditing on but the sysctl does not work any longer. I have filed a request to get that fixed.
4. Re: Is ICMP not audited?packetmonkey Apr 16, 2013 5:19 AM (in response to sliedl)
That makes sense I don't know why you would want to audit ICMP. It's a candidate for a DoS if everything is logged, and it's better to focus on what rules could cause a compromise (auditing of TCP/UDP where data can be transfered).
It would be interesting to hear the engineering response though to see if they have the same conclusion from a security standpoint.
5. Re: Is ICMP not audited?oreeh Apr 16, 2013 5:22 AM (in response to packetmonkey)
Any protocol is in theory a candidate for DoS.
It really doesn't make a difference from an audit point of view if you send ICMP messages, do a port scan or a syn-flooding.

Picture: Jessica Simpson arriving at LAX with fiance Eric Johnson carrying baby daughter Maxwell Los Angeles, California - 11.09.12
Jessica Simpson has been proudly showing off her baby girl Maxwell in photos from her fiance Eric Johnson's 33rd birthday.
The singer/actress and her husband-to-be seem beyond happy with their 4-month-old firstborn in the black and white snaps posted on Jessica's lifestyle blog. One picture showed Eric smiling down at his daughter who he is holding in his arms with the caption, 'Daddy's 33rd Birthday!' Another photo shows Jessica, 32, with her child beneath another caption reading: 'Last year at Daddy's party, Maxwell was in my belly. This year she's in my arms!' She has also been sharing Maxwell with her Twitter followers with one image showing her and the happy parents smiling with a firework display behind them.
Although the star seems thrilled with her new life as a mother, losing her post-pregnancy baby weight has been less of a smooth ride. However, she has since embarked on a weight loss programme with Weight Watchers and has reportedly lost over 40 pounds since giving birth to Maxwell. She showed off her new figure on the Katie Couric show 'Katie' and remarked that she was told by doctors that her weight was 'a lot of water' which didn't all come out during the birth. 'I put on more baby weight than I was planning on putting on so I think that I really have to separate myself from the world's expectations and really just look inside of myself and have a relationship with myself and be healthy with myself. That is really important because I want to be a phenomenal role model for my child', she said.

Welcome, Gemini Sun
Gemini people hop onto the amusement park ride of their solar return as the sun dances through this part of the sky in the weeks to come. Those who don't enjoy roller coasters needn't worry — life is the kind of amusement park that offers a wide variety of rides, from slow and scenic to extreme and thrilling. Just make sure you're standing in the right line.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The person pressuring you believes that his or her personal agenda is more important than your comfort. When none of the options please you, you can always decide not to decide.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Remember what you wanted so badly? Now you have it, and you want entirely different things. You can appreciate the cycle, wherever you are in it. Your wishes keep you rolling forward.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The wonderful parts of life are often offset by something dismal. This is the way of the world, and you deal with each scenario as it comes, interpreting it in your own poetic way.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Instead of trying to cope with the circumstance, you want to change it. You'll take on what you can. You may have a hard time accepting the fact that not everything is within your control.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have great feelings for beauty now, and you'll appreciate the seemingly disordered aspects of it. You'll direct people's attention to things they wouldn't have noticed, and this is a kind of mitzvah.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Power can be a phantom. Its sources are not always apparent. Keep this in mind as you assess your opposition and strategize your own rise to power.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As valid as your concerns may be, it's not important that each one gets addressed now. Helping others who are in need will give you the benefit of perspective.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In the heat of the moment, your conversational partner will try to prove a wrongheaded point. Let it go. To argue would be proof that you care to be considered superior, which is wrongheaded in and of itself.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your golden productivity hours will be in the morning. Do a job at 9 a.m. when your mind is fresh. At 9 p.m., the same job will take you twice as long to complete.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Things that look good "on paper" look even better when carefully arranged within the electrified framework of a popular social media sight. The reality of such things may be nonexistent. Stay alert.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The egos involved at work may slow everyone's progress. There are politics to be played here. People who think a lot of their own contributions want full credit before they move forward.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don't like to be tricked by anyone, but especially not by a business, because that shows ill intent on many levels. People who do not stop a wrong from happening are culpable, and you'll do what it takes to deliver justice.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 21). It's not about being the most talented or outstanding; heaven's will is carried out through your simple, unassuming ways. You will be praised, paid and rewarded, but that won't matter to you nearly as much as the good that comes from your loving actions. June is romantic, October adventurous, November lucrative. Cancer and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 21, 31, 50 and 43.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I'm in a serious relationship rut. The real problem is that I always get to this place. I fall deeply in love, start a life with someone, and then five years into it, I can't stand the guy. I've had four five-year relationships since I was 20 years old. I'm now 40 and wondering whether this Sagittarius girl will ever find true love. I have no children. The guys I've lived with have been: Aries, Leo, Virgo and Cancer. Does this boil down to sign compatibility? If so, what is my true love sign?"
You're an adventurous sort, Sagittarius, in love with the chase. The early stages of romance are often so thrilling for you that things can only go downhill from there. The decisions you face now boil down to biology as much as anything else. Get serious about what you want out of this lifetime, fire girl! If you think you want to be a mother, there is no time to waste in deciding how traditional you want to be about it. Instead of focusing on what sign your dream partner is, you need to get real about where you are at this point in your life, what you want and what you're willing to do about it.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Bouncer and bodyguard turned movie and television star Mr. T is a savvy Gemini with his moon, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter in the powerful sign of the bull. Communication is a specialty for this sign, and what Mr. T communicates is a persona all his own. Intimidating gold chains, gruff voice and mohawk belie a bodybuilder with a heart of gold. Mr. T inspires many as a motivational speaker.

Hasselblad 500e/lm body with caps and a brand new CRP2 6 volt battery adapter from Fotodiox. Unlike the old batteries that went with these bodies, the CRP2 is a modern battery that supplies the right voltage and can be bought at your local Radio Shack. The battery that comes with this body was used sparingly and has at least another 500 shots left on it (probably more).
Body works the way it is supposed to and the screen that comes with it is in good shape; the release button is a bit wonky -- the releases on these are easy to replace, though, and cost next to nothing on that auction site.
I also have a couple of waist level finders that I'm going to post here -- so if you want the finders too, let me know, as I can combine the shipping.
Asking $130 payable via PayPal -- I paid $40 for the adapter and the new battery, so you're getting a Hasselblad body for $90 plus shipping! A pretty good deal.

Feel Trapped in a Career You Don't Want? Training Is Just the Job; PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: Advertising Feature
ARE you stuck in a dead end job? Do you need a boost for your ailing career? If you're nodding your head, then developing your talents is your next move.
In today's modern world the old Latin adage, Carpe Diem - Seize the Day - has never been more apt, especially in relation to your career.
A job for life is a thing of the past and it's now up to individuals to take charge of their careers and plan for the future.
The first questions to ask are 'What do I want out of life?' and 'Is my career the most important thing, and how can I progress?' It's a common fact that new challenges promote a healthier outlook on life, and so taking control of your future and mapping your career is a positive step in the right direction.
Influencing your career can be done in many different ways such as in-house training programmes, external development seminars, night school classes or part-time degree courses.
Understanding the relevance of career management skills and realising the solution lies within your own hands is the first step on the road to a flourishing career. Gaining a structure to self manage your career and applying the dynamic technique of 'action thinking' is essential in order to achieve a personal development plan that is practical and successful.
Obtaining the skills, confidence and resources to achieve career success are key factors and there are plenty of opportunities available to help kick-start your career.
Maybe you're a secretary whose IT skills are lacking. Or a marketing person who knows their talent is wasted. Take the bull by the horns and search the local papers, libraries, colleges and Open University prospectuses for the ultimate course that will enhance your working life and drive you forward.
If your current qualifications are minimal, then why not return to night school and take up a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ)? This is one of the most popular ways to continue further education and there are many benefits in taking this path.
NVQs can help you prepare for work or help with your career development. They are achieved through the demonstration of key skills and are work-related qualifications.
Each NVQ is made up of a number of units covering a particular aspect of a job. NVQs begin at level 1 and progress to level 5 for senior management positions.
Without doubt, a qualification which proves you can do a job competently is a valuable possession and is a great advantage when it comes to career progression. However, NVQs don't just focus on the theory - practical skills are also measured. It's all about putting learning into practise. …

Thank you. We were without and ISP for awhile, due to a move.
Yes I would love pictures of Barrett's graves and anything else you may have stories, memories handed down , obituaries, copies of wills.
I can accept jpg or gif files or am willing to pay for photo copies .
As an adult that was raised as an orphan and not permitted to know 1/2 of my family and then loose the 1/2 I did know I rejoice in all new knowledge.
Thank you for touching base with me again
Marsha Fenstermacher/ Binkley
Martha Patton was my Grandma who married Joseph O Fenstermacher. I have no memories of her , but was told she was a hard working wonderful lady. And I met my grandpa Fenstermacher at my Mom's funeral when I was 8 years old.

Patton , Barrett
Hi Marsha,
Yes, that is the same date and location for the marriage of Matthew Patton Jr. and Martha Rumbold Patton that I have in my file. We are indeed cousins, but I haven't counted back to what distant degree. I have so much information on this family now that I can sometimes imagine that I knew them and lived in their time.
You must have forgotten that we corresponded on our Patton family line in July of 2006. As I recall you've been doing family research for many years now. I've only been at it for about 3 years but, I've already learned a great many things in that short time. I've gathered an extensive file of family facts, stories and statistics. Additionally, I've found that the interests and approaches are very different from one genealogist to another. I think all of us enjoy a good family story, it is the best part. I have a very colorful one about Lydia Barrett Patton, from before the Civil War, those are rare that far back, particularly about the women. Otherwise, I'm most interested in following my direct family line, both male and female, including a bit about their siblings in each generation. Some researchers seem to limit themselves more towards their father's male line and others are very interested in their foreign countries of origin.
You may now vaguely recall our earlier communication and that I sent you, by mail, a large amount of information on people including: Matthew Patton Jr.(your Barratt Patton Sr.'s brother),and his wife, Martha Rumbold, and their families (including my line); Matthew Patton Sr. and his wife, Lydia Barratt/Barrett; Philip Barrett Jr. and his wife Miriam Sipple; as well as more ancient lines going back from these. There was also some literature on historic Barratt's Chapel that included Philip Barrett's monetary contribution as well as his involvement with the early beginnings of the Methodist Episcopal Church. I believe I also sent you a copy of a letter from Caesar Rodney, that he'd sent to another gentleman in political cannels, dated Sept. 1775, it very eloquently listed many qualities possessed by Philip Barrett Jr. that made him an excellent choice for High Sheriff of Kent County, Delaware.
I must admit that I was somewhat disappointed and surprised by what seemed to be a lack of interest on your part. I'd sent off the packet of material and after what seemed to have been plenty of time for delivery had passed by; still I did not hear back from you. Thinking it might have been lost in the mail, I emailed you to see if you had received it. You did reply then, saying that you had gotten it; you'd been very busy and that your ISP had been down for awhile. I didn't hear from you again until yesterday. I did wonder about you and I've hoped that you hadn't had some misfortune of health or otherwise that had kept you so busy. I was sorry that I didn't receive any feed back from you about the data, although I did realize that you might have had some of it already.
Many researchers' take pride in finding their ancestors are remembered with historical significance, particularly those going back to the Revolutionary War and beyond. The descendants of Philip Barrett Jr. are among those that are eligible for inclusion in the SAR and DAR societies. I have not pursued the membership myself but, I am none the less proud of the heritage.
When we first exchanged our information I'd yet to do any research on your Barrett Patton Sr.'s family, after they'd left Caroline County, Maryland between 1870 and 1880. Recently I did gather some information on them from census data and I would be very happy to receive anything you might want to contribute. The photos you mentioned would be much appreciated. One question I have for you: have you come across any old bibles, journals or anything of that sort through your contacts with other Patton descendants during your years of research?
I see that you have yet again a new e-mail address. My own e-mail address is very silly; I'm not at all reluctant to use the internet and haven't been for many years now. I would love to change it but, I'd hate to miss any replies to my queries that sometimes take years to receive. Maybe I will hear from you again sometime. My email address is

I have emailed you privately. The email should explain some of the things that have slowed me down, and the loss of the material you sent along with loss of many other items and books from research.
And yes, your correct .I began research in 1973 so that is nearly 35 years ago.
Some lines like this one though have hit a brick wall for me. I can't go back without trying to come forward as well.
I love the stories and have pictures gladly share with you now that we have found each other again.

Patton, Lusk, McAlister, Frasure
My Alexander Patton was born ca. 1803 in Stafford Co., Virginia and married Achsah Anna C. Oakley 11 May 1830 in Madison Co., VA. They moved to Gibson Co., TN where they had seven children: Emily Virginia, b. abt 1833; Sarah Ann, b. 13 Feb 1834; George Washington, b. 6 Jul 1835 (my 2x great grandfather); Martha Ursah, b. ca 1837; Eliza Frances, b. ca 1838; Mary Ellen (Mollie), b 4 Jun 1842; Susan, b. ca 1843. George Washington Patton married Susan Moriah McAlister 5 Jul 1860. They had a son, Jefferson, b. ca 1861 and a daughter, Francis Ann (Fannie), b. 30 Aug 1863 (my great grandmother). GW Patton died 15 Jan 1896 in Milan, TN. His wife Susan died 15 Jan 1916. Francis (Fannie) Patton married Louis Benjamin Lusk, b. 4 Apr 1856, on 7 Jan 1883. They lived in Milan, TN and had four children: Clarence Albert, b. 5 May 1884; Will Taylor, b. 7 Mar 1888 (my grandfather); Annie Sue, b. 29 Mar 1890; John Patton, b. 24 Mar 1892. Fannie Lusk died 20 Jul 1925 in Milan, TN. LB Lusk died 4 Apr 1939 in Milan. Louis Benjamin Lusk was the son of James William Lusk, b. ca 1837, and Mary Elizabeth (Polly) Frasure of Coffee Co., TN. Their other children were twins James William and John Wilson, b. Jan 1853; Hiram Lafeyette, b. 8 May 1858; Francis Marion, b. 18 May 1860. I know that the mother of the older James William Lusk was named Mary but don't know her maiden name. Mary was a widow prior to 1850 and married a much older Benjamin Rodgers before her death in 1851. I think his father was named William Lusk, but don't have documentation to prove it yet. Not sure where William Lusk came from. Don't know if this makes us related or not, but I'm still researching both the Patton and Lusk lines. Any help on these lines would be greatly appreciated.

Those are mostly very common names in the Lusk family. And right now I don't have all of my data downloaded onto the lap top.

The Tuscan Region of Italy is well known for its warm balmy summers, beautiful countryside, rolling hills, mouth - watering food, and of course its towns and villages, rich with mediaeval architecture…
The Garfagnana region of Tuscany, often known as its 'Green Lung' is situated away from the milling crowds that can often be found at the most famous Tuscan locations and is totally unspoilt, remaining untouched by tourism.
The scenery is spectacular, green and mountainous with views of both the Apuane and Appenine mountains at every turn…And, due to the altitude whilst the weather can be very hot, it is always pleasantly cool for sleeping…
The food is usually home made, using home grown produce, and is typically simple and extremely tasty. Prices here remain very reasonable due to the fact that food is prepared with the locals, and not tourists in mind…The local wine is cheap and surprisingly drinkable!
The pace of life is slow and peaceful – spend your days enjoying secluded picnics, swimming in rivers, or watching locals play bocce or 'cheese throwing'. Visit hundreds of ancient hill top villages, or relax at home basking in stunning scenery.
For 'townie' days, visit the mediaeval towns of Barga, Lucca, Castelnuovo, with Pisa and Florence within easy reach too…
This is Olde Worlde Italy
Situated on the far edge of the historic village of Gragnanella, just a 5 min drive from the market town of Castelnuovo and 1 hour from the mediaeval walled city of Lucca. The beautiful town of Barga is a 20 minute drive too....
This is a pretty village, with no facilities, but Castelnuovo which is a 5 min drive has bars, restaurants, shops, famous Thursday morning market and a train station for easy exploring.
Despite the village location, there is full privacy at the house and wonderful views over the countryside.
The cottage is a 90 min drive from Pisa and around 1 hr 45 mins from Pisa.

Vietnam's Bonds Rally Most Since May After Rate Cut; Dong Stable
Vietnam's five-year bonds gained by the most since May after the central bank reduced interest rates for THE sixth time this year to spur economic growth. The dong was little changed.
The State Bank of Vietnam cut its refinancing rate to 9 percent from 10 percent with effect from Dec. 24, according to a statement on its website on Dec. 21. It lowered the discount rate to 7 percent from 8 percent. Lower funding costs would boost demand at government debt auctions, according to Hanoi-based Viet Securities Co. The State Treasury will offer 2 trillion dong ($96 million) each of five- and three-year bonds and 3 trillion dong of two-year notes at a sale tomorrow, according to the Hanoi Stock Exchange website.
"The primary market is forecast to continue to be active with high success rates," Viet Securities analysts including Ha Thi Thu Hang and Nguyen Thanh Khiem wrote in a research note yesterday. "The rate cuts will drive more capital of financial institutions into the primary market."
The yield on the five-year notes fell 23 basis points, or 0.23 percentage point, to 9.53 percent, according to a daily fixing from banks compiled by Bloomberg. That's the biggest drop since May 10. It was at 12.55 percent at the end of 2011.
The central bank's rate adjustments aim "to help companies cope with difficulties in production and business," it said in the statement. A "stable money market and improving liquidity at banks" provided room for the reductions, according to the statement.
The dong was steady at 20,840 per dollar as of 2:07 p.m. in Hanoi, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The central bank fixed the reference rate at 20,828, unchanged since Dec. 26 last year, according to its website. The currency is allowed to trade as much as 1 percent on either side of the rate.

Homebrew made you and it can destroy you!!!
Sony forgets that an old guy who worked for a TV co. showed an idea of a "brown box" to his boss it was rejected. But Ralph Baer went forward with his idea. Nolan Bushnell took that idea and created PONG. From those humble begginings we have the games we play now.
Homebrew will overcome this.....
well how about a nicely written emulator to emulate updated firmware?
they're not modifying your console either. they are simply putting the other half of the firmware that you put on your chip on there so it is whole. no modification there.

stretch marks! helpp
Stretch marks are genetic. You can use cocoa butter and other moisturizers but honestly if you're going to get them, you're going to get them. Avoiding excessive weight gain is the only way to keep them to a minimum and honestly when you're pregnant you should be gaining a fair amount of weight. The truth is you can't do a whole lot. People who swear by this or that are the people who weren't going to get them bad to begin with.
I used the Palmer's stretch mark belly balm in the round container. It's like greasy wax. I didn't get any stretch marks but I understand it's more genetic and some people are more prone to them.
nothing will "prevent" them. But I use bio oil and am in the recommended weight gain. My thought is if you go over the recommended, you will probably get them. Slow steady weight gain.
I have been using Mama Bees Belly Butter and the Nourishing Body Oil. I am 32 weeks & 3 days and still have not gotten any. Not to say I won't get them still later on but so far so good.
I'm using palmers cocoa butter, lotion and oil. You're supposed to apply it 3 times a day. I bought it at walmart but they should have it anywhere they sell lotion.
Unfortunately genetics play a huge roll, but different creams and such can help lighten them afterwards. I use bio oil on some of the worst ones I got with my first and it does help, but I never discovered anything that could truly prevent them.

Convert Text to Numbers – Excel Keyboard Shortcuts
Excel has a built-in feature to convert text to numbers, but it can be tricky to use when you are trying to select a long list of cells or multiple rows and columns. In the video below I describe how to use keyboard shortcuts to accomplish this very quickly.
Keyboard Shortcuts to Convert Text to Numbers
Here's a quick guide for the keyboard shortcuts to select the range of cells you want to convert.
- Select any cell that contains the Number Stored as Text error. You will see a small green triangle in the top left corner of the cell.
- Use the following keyboard shortcuts to select the range:
Ctrl + A – selects the entire contiguous range
Ctrl + A Twice – selects the entire sheet
Ctrl + Space bar – selects the entire column
Shift + Left/Right Arrow – selects multiple columns
Shift + Space bar – selects the entire rowShift + Up/Down Arrow – selects multiple rows
- The error menu drop-down will now be at the top left or right corner of your selected range. You can then use the following keyboard shortcut to Convert to Numbers.
Alt + Menu Key + C – Convert to Number
The Menu Key is located between the Alt and Ctrl keys on the right side of the keyboard. If your keyboard does not have a menu key, you can use Shift +F10 as an alternate.
Alternative Methods
I find the built-in feature to be the fastest, but there are other ways to accomplish this task:
- Copy a cell containing a 1 and Paste Special>Multiple on the range you want to convert.
- Use Text to Columns tool on the Data tab (ribbon). This is limited to one column and doesn't work on rows.
- Functions – the VALUE() function works well, but there are many ways to do this too.
- VBA/Macro – write your own code to automate the process
Do you have a different or easier way? Please leave a comment.Please share this post:
thank you so much, really it is very simple, i searched lot of websites but could not find answer,
We can also use the paste special. (source: microsoft website)
To use the Paste Special command, follow these steps:
In any blank cell, type the value 1.
Make sure the cell you typed 1 in is formatted as a number.
Select the cell in which you typed 1, and then right click and choose Copy.
Select the cells with the values that you want to convert to numbers.
Right click and choose Paste Special.
Under Operation, click Multiply and then click OK.
Thank you for this tip – it is pretty effective. I've noticed that you can only access the Convert To Number menu from the upper left selected cell, this gets a bit frustrating when it is a large group and the process of selection causes the menu to scroll off the main page. Any hints on how to handle this?
Fantastic. The simple answer seems to be the most efficient and easy to use. I recorded a macro to use text to column, choosing delimited, no boxes checked for format. Works well for a contiuous range in a column, but this video is great for ease of use.

Get Fit, Madonna Style
Coming to a city near you: Hard Candy fitness centers
Madonna is pop's reigning chameleon, having taken on many a guise and role over the years, and now she's assuming a new title: fitness club owner. The singer - whose seemingly endless list of ventures includes children's books, a clothing line and movie production - has announced plans to launch her own brand of gyms around the world called Hard Candy, after her 2008 album.
The first of the clubs - "a beautiful and uniquely designed 30,000 square foot space" - will be unveiled in Mexico City on November 29th by the star herself. Subsequent centers are planned for Brazil, Argentina, Asia, Russia, and other locations across Europe. The Material Girl has teamed up with her business manager Guy Oseary and Mark Mastrov, of New Evolution Ventures, for the venture.
"Our goal is to create an environment inspired by Madonna's vision and high standards of what the ideal gym would be," says Matrov, who founded the 24-Hour Fitness gyms. "Hard Candy Fitness will be a reflection of Madonna's point of view and will reflect her input on every detail including music space, light and other design cues. Madonna's touch will be everywhere."
And so far, those touches certainly sound quite lavish. From "locker rooms built from the finest materials" to such classes as "Zumba, Latin Moves and Cardio Kickboxing", it appears that almost all fitness tastes - both traditional and contemporary - will be catered to. But, most importantly for perspective members, this could be the best shot that most of them will have at attainting a sculpted, lean body like Madonna's.

I have a Truvativ Giga XP bottom bracket with the external bearing cups and, based on its track record, am looking for an acceptable substitute for if/when it does crap out on me. I had an old ultegra bb from my road bike that I tried but the spindle seemed too small for the left side bearing. So, are there any other reputable manufacturers and models I can try that will work with my current crankset (Truvativ Stylo).
Thanks for any and all help!

Strategists Tip 14% Topix Gain After 10-Day Rally
After Japan's Topix index posted its longest winning run in almost five years, analysts are sticking to their views on where the gauge will be by year-end.
The benchmark equity measure will rise 14 percent to 1,400 by the end of 2014, according to the median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey of 12 strategists and investors this month, the same level as in a similar poll in May. Nomura Holdings Inc. and Daiwa Securities Group Inc., Japan's two largest brokerages, kept their predictions at 1,500 and 1,400 respectively, while Mizuho Securities Co. cut its target to 1,400 from 1,450.
The Topix fell today after gaining 7.3 percent in a 10-day advance through yesterday, its longest since a stretch that ended in August 2009. The gauge is still down 5.3 percent for the year, the worst performance among 24 major developed markets tracked by Bloomberg.
Analysts expect the Nikkei 225 Stock Average to climb 14 percent to 17,150 by year-end. The Nikkei 225 rose 0.1 percent to 15,079.37 today, while the Topix slipped 0.1 percent to 1,232.75.
