What is 'Knowledge Economy'
Knowledge economy is a system of consumption and production that is based on intellectual capital. The knowledge economy commonly makes up a large share of all economic activity in developed countries. In a knowledge economy, a significant part of a company's value may consist of intangible assets, such as the value of its workers' knowledge (intellectual capital). However, generally accepted accounting principles do not allow companies to include these assets on balance sheets.
BREAKING DOWN 'Knowledge Economy'
Lesser-developed countries tend to have agriculture or agriculture and manufacturing-based economies, while developing countries tend to have manufacturing or manufacturing and service-based economies, and developed countries tend to have service-based economies.
Most countries' economies will consist of each of these three major categories of economic activity, but in differing proportions relative to the wealth of that country. Examples of knowledge economy activities include research, technical support and consulting.

'Some Value' Left in Knight Capital: Analyst (Update 2)
TheStreet) -- While Knight Capital Group (KCG - Get Report) seems to be in the midst of a meltdown, Stifel Nicolaus analyst Matthew Heinz still sees "some value" left in the firm.After falling 33% on Wednesday, after a morning trading glitch affected some 150 individual stocks, with the Securities and Exchange Commission halting trade on several and announcing an investigation, Knight Capital early on Thursday announced a $440 million pretax loss from the event. Knight Capital's shares were down another 50% in morning trading, to $3.56. The Jersey City, N.J., firm -- headed by executive chairman and CEO Thomas Joyce -- said that its "clients were not negatively affected by the erroneous orders, and the software issue was limited to the routing of certain listed stocks to NYSE," and that it had "traded out of its entire erroneous trade position." While the firm's broker-dealer subsidiaries began operations Thursday "in full compliance with their net capital requirements," Knight Capital was "actively pursuing its strategic and financing alternatives to strengthen its capital base." Heinz lowered his rating for the Knight Capital Group to "Hold," from "Buy," saying that if the firm were to sell to a competitor, it would be worth "approximately $3.40" a share. The analyst said that he continues "to see value in the firm's business lines, particularly in its electronic execution services segment where we estimate ~$60M of [earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA] for 2012." "Under normal circumstances," Heinz said, "we could argue for a 12x multiple on this business given its growth and margin expansion potential, but would give any purchase multiple a 25% discount." At nine times his EBITDA estimate for the electronic execution services (EES), Heinz would value this portion of Knight Capital's business at $540 million, or $5.50 a share. Applying a 50% discount to an estimate $280 million valuation for Knight Capital's market making business, Heinz arrived at a total value of $820 million, for a takeout value of $340 million, or roughly $3.40 a share, after netting-out the $440 million trading liability and $40 million in net debt. In an interview on Bloomberg TV, Joyce said that the trading problems on Wednesday occurred after "we put in a new bit of software the night before because we were getting ready to trade the NYSE's [Retail Liquidity] program," and that a "major bug" in the software "sent into the market a ton of orders, all erroneous, so we ended up with a large error position which we had to sort through the balance of the day." Joyce said that Knight Capital is "very confident in the current operating environment we've reestablished." When asked about the company's efforts to shore up its capital, Joyce said "it is hard to give anybody a timeline when you are working through it, but we are focused and doing all the work I believe need to be done as we speak. We're kind of pushing ahead and we hope to have the news and then we will share it immediately with our shareholders, our regulators and stakeholders." KBW analyst Niamh Alexander on Thursday said that "the Board needs to sell this company ASAP in our opinion if it can't get private financing to shore up capital," adding that "there are buyers, this business has attractive assets," and that "continuing independently will be challenging without more capital." Alexander rates Knight Capital "Market Perform," and lowered her price target for the shares to $4, or less than 50% of an estimated revised tangible book value of $8.50. According to Alexander, potential acquirers for Knight Capital Group include Goldman Sachs (GS), Credit Suisse (CS), and Cantor Fitzgerald, all of which "recently expressed interest to expand into wholesaling organically." The analyst said that KBW would potentially consider JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Interactive Brokers Group (IBKR), or Jefferies (JEF), to be buyers "as they would likely be interested in the trading technology and the retail wholesale network while also potentially eliminating a competitor in the trade execution institutional business."Updated with comments on Bloomberg TV from Knight Capital CEO Thomas Joyce, and comment from KBW analyst Niamh Alexander.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN -- (Marketwired) -- 06/12/14 -- In the news release, "ValueVision Urges Shareholders to Review Its Five-Year Track Record of Performance Before Voting on the Company's Future," issued earlier today by ValueVision Media, Inc. (NASDAQ: VVTV), two tables appeared following the release text; these tables have now been placed in line within the release to place each table alongside its respective accompanying text. Complete release with updated layout follows.
ValueVision Urges Shareholders to Review Its Five-Year Track Record of Performance Before Voting on the Company's Future
MINNEAPOLIS, MN--(June 12, 2014) - ValueVision Media, Inc. (NASDAQ: VVTV), a multichannel electronic retailer operating as ShopHQ via TV, Internet and mobile, today provided a clear quantitative accounting of the Company's current leadership's track record of success across a number of crucial financial and operating metrics. The table (below) illustrates the Company's performance over the five full years during which key members of the current Board and management team formulated and executed the Company's successful strategy and return to growth.

Randy Ronning, ValueVision's Chairman of the Board of Directors, stated, "ValueVision's record is clear and compelling. On nearly every important measure, the Board and leadership team have made tremendous progress, transforming a business that was seriously challenged and near bankruptcy into a growing and vibrant Company. Based on our record, we believe ValueVision's nominees deserve strong shareholder support. Moreover, the Company's track record of accomplishment should be the real focus of consideration as our shareholders face the critical choices before them for the future of their investment.
"Owning collectively 12.6% of the Company, ValueVision's Board and management are deeply concerned about the future of the Company, given the risk and uncertainty that we believe could result should shareholders support the Clinton Group's proposed change of Board leadership and Company direction and the proposed immediate removal of the current senior management in light of the Clinton Group's constant and baseless criticisms, which we believe are not supported by the Company's performance.
"What is clear to the Board is that few if any shareholders would support such unwarranted change and risk, if they were fully informed regarding the breadth of progress that has been made. To assure that performance is both clear and accessible, we have provided the above table of performance metrics from Fiscal 2008 through Fiscal 2013.
"We believe that in reviewing the Company's record and in considering the huge management, operational, distribution, financial, merchandise, branding and reputational challenges the business faced when management arrived, that shareholders will conclude that the Clinton Group's nominees and their proposed actions are the wrong direction for the Company. Most importantly, such review will likely inform shareholders as to which leadership team, strategy and direction offers the greatest experience, potential and lowest risk for delivering further improvements in shareholder value.
"We have come too far to risk your and our collective investments on what we believe to be Clinton Group's and its nominees' superficial ideas to bet the Company's future on costly, uncertain celebrity-linked products or strategies to be executed by an as yet undetermined CEO. Instead, imagine what the proven ValueVision team can do over the next five years as they focus fully on growth and business enhancements, rather than fixes, financial restructuring and other remedial tasks. Certainly our covering analysts also share our enthusiasm, as each of them recommends our shares as a Buy."
Adjusted EBITDA
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income/(Loss): ------------------------------------------------------------- Prior Team Current Team's Performance Current Team 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Improvement ------------------------------------------------------------- EBITDA, as adjusted $ (51) $ (19) $ 2 $ 1 $ 5 $ 18 + $69M Less: FCC license impairment (9) (11) - Writedown of Auction Rate Securities (11) Gain (loss) on sale of investments or asset (1) 4 0 - CEO Transition Cost (3) (2) - - Debt Extinguishment - - (1) (26) (1) - Activist Shareholder Response Costs - - - - - (2) Restructuring costs and other non- recurring items (4) (2) (1) - - - Non-cash share- based compensation (4) (3) (3) (5) (3) (3) EBITDA (as defined) (a) (83) (23) (3) (30) (10) 13 + $96M A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income (loss) is as follows: EBITDA, as defined (83) (23) (3) (30) (10) 13 Adjustments: Depreciation and amortization (17) (14) (13) (13) (13) (13) Interest income 3 0 0 0 0 0 Interest expense - (5) (10) (6) (4) (1) Income taxes (0) 0 1 (0) (0) (1) Net income (loss) $ (98) $ (42) $ (26) $ (48) $ (28) $ (3) + $95M ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
EBITDA represents net income (loss) for the respective periods excluding depreciation and amortization expense, interest income (expense) and income taxes. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding debt extinguishment; non-operating gains (losses); non-cash impairment charges and write-downs; activist shareholder response costs; and non-cash share-based compensation expense. The Company has included the term "Adjusted EBITDA" in our EBITDA reconciliation in order to adequately assess the operating performance of our television and Internet businesses and in order to maintain comparability to our analysts' coverage and financial guidance, when given. Management believes that the term Adjusted EBITDA allows investors to make a more meaningful comparison between our business operating results over different periods of time with those of other similar companies. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a metric to evaluate operating performance under the Company's management and executive incentive compensation programs. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income (loss), net income (loss) or to cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and should not be construed as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies. The Company has included a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, above.

Arizona Diamondbacks
ESPN's Tim Kurkjian stands behind Gibson, Towers
Though some might be putting the blame of the Arizona Diamondbacks' disappointing season on manager Kirk Gibson and general manager Kevin Towers, ESPN's Tim Kurkjian believes they should be given at least another season.
On Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Wednesday, Kurkjian said that Gibson and Towers deserve a reprieve as the team is just performing to its talent level.
"I guess you could make a case they didn't put the bullpen together properly. Maybe they didn't have enough starting pitching," Kurkjian said. "But I'm not about to fire the GM or the manager for, at this point, finishing about .500 without much more of a team than that."
Kurkjian also added that before the season began, he predicted the D-backs would finish third in the NL West with a record around the .500 mark, which is pretty much spot on for their actual performance.
The D-backs were in first place through most of the first half until the Los Angeles Dodgers overtook them on July 22. They currently sit 13 games back of the Dodgers.

I liked it a lot too, but it didn't do well enough, and 2011 Pooh probably didn't even make its money back. Pretty sure 2D from Hollywood is dead and never coming back. Even if they wanted to bring it back sometime in the future, they're not going to have the talent available, unless you want a bunch of CalArts Noodlepeople.

Even if literally every single one of those people had gone and seen the movies multiple times, you'd need to convince the movie-going audience at large to care, which they didn't. It's not a case of "we can make a difference" it's "how do you force midwesterners to see a film about a black NO girl that's all about jazz, and she's a frog for 80% of the movie."

Hey, we THOUGHT Avatar would flop. So did every studio. Admit it. I'll wager half the opening-night audience went there to watch the "train wreck".
(Then again, the fact that the last two weeks in December were taken up meant that Princess had to take the "Weekend of Death", which has sunk some of the most expensive December flops in history.)
And then, of course, Frog was so socially agenda-laden, they had to emphasize the point with comedy so low it was hard to believe this was a John Musker & Ron Clements film--Making Hercules look urbane, witty and story-focused by comparison.

Rugby league coaching legend Wayne Bennett is not surprised Craig Bellamy has rejected the Warriors to remain at NRL premiers Melbourne next season.
Bennett, one of eight sporting luminaries inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame in Melbourne on Thursday, says the Storm's talent and success under Bellamy make club and coach a perfect fit.
Former Penrith coach Matthew Elliott is expected to be appointed at the Warriors on a two-year deal later this week after Bellamy said no to a move across the Tasman.
Bellamy spent five years as Bennett's assistant in Brisbane before taking over the Storm in 2003.
He has one more year on his Storm contract but his future remains unclear beyond the end of next season.
However, Melbourne officials have made it clear they want him to stay.
"Craig's a pretty smart bloke. When he's got the talented players he's got here, the success he's had here, it'd be pretty hard to leave and I don't know why he'd want to leave," Bennett said.
"They (the Storm) would be silly to lose him."
Newcastle coach Bennett, a seven-time premiership winning coach recognised as the best of his generation, was inducted into the Hall of Fame alongside another Knights legend - former star Andrew Johns.
For Johns, it is his second individual honour in the space of a fortnight after he became a rugby league Immortal late last month.
Other Hall of Fame inductees are cricket legend Adam Gilchrist, former Oarsome Foursome rower James Tomkins, Olympic cyclist Kathy Watt, ex-Wallaby flyhalf Stephen Larkham, former South Melbourne Australian rules player and international cricketer Laurie Nash and sports administrator Malcolm Speed.
All had their plaques unveiled at Melbourne's National Sports Museum, before being officially honoured at the Sport Australia Hall of Fame dinner on Thursday night.

New Plymouth's Mike Morresey has carved out a career in race walking after giving up running.
Mad Mike, as he's affectionately known by his mates, can cut out a blistering 20km on the track - fast enough to qualify as the sole New Zealand representative at the Oceania walking championships in Hobart early next month.
The February 2 race, which doubles as the Commonwealth champs after walking was cut from the Glasgow Games, is over the 20km distance.
The 43-year-old qualified for Hobart when he clocked one hour, 50 minutes and one second when winning the New Zealand long-distance road walking champs on the North Shore last November.
His time was one second over the qualifying mark, with Athletics New Zealand granting him dispensation to race in Australia.
"There was a bit of drama. With one lap to go, I was struggling a little. I knew it was going to be tight. I got held up on a tight turn and lost about 10 seconds," Morresey said.
"My coach [Rodney Gillum] was screaming to me to hurry up. I could see the clock and everyone was yelling. I just kept going as fast as I could. There was a bit of relief when they said I could go."
Morresey said it shouldn't have been so close.
"I almost missed out. I was disappointed with my start, I got held up by slower walkers. There was a lot of relief when I finished. I've had a lot of support from Taranaki and it was good to repay those people."
Morresey said he immediately paid his deposit of $500 when Athletics New Zealand confirmed his selection.
"That was one of the conditions. If you qualified, you had to pay up. I was only able to do that thanks to the support from small businesses and friends in Taranaki."
Morresey, who only took up race walking three years ago after five years of running, said his final hitout before Hobart would be a 3km race in Wellington on January 24.
"It will be my final speed session, just to tune up my legs. I walk six days a week, 15km most days with speed sessions involved," he said. "I've just started doing a bit of aqua jogging in the pool, that's a bit easier on the body."
Morresey, who works for Murch Painters and Decorators, said his goal in Hobart was to dip under one hour, 45 minutes.
"That's realistic. The quality of the field will drag me along.
"All the top Australians are racing," he said. "Rodney said to me not to worry about anyone else in the field. Just do my own thing. The aim is to go through the first 10km somewhere between 53 and 55 minutes so the body is relaxed," he said.
"And then push home in under 50 minutes for the last 10km."
Morresey is no stranger to long distance walking.
He's completed a 100km race in Taupo and the 90km Comrades race in South Africa.
"They had a 12-hour time limit for that and I made it in time. I'm going back to compete in the 100th event, that's in 2022. I'll be 55 then and it's something I really want to do."
As for "Mad Mike?"
"There's a few stories as to how I got the name," he said. "Doing long runs, I've done a few and people think I'm mad."
It's a name that's stuck and Morresey even has a tee-shirt with mad Mike emblazoned across the front.
"It doesn't worry me. I walk long distance because I enjoy it."

North-west farmers say they're fighting drought and native vegetation legislationSally Bryant, Thursday August 21, 2014 - 15:00 EST
Cam Rowntree says the recent tragic shooting at Croppa Creek near Moree is exactly that, a terrible tragedy.
But he says this event should not have come as a huge surprise, that the nearly two decade long fight over native vegetation legislation has caused farmers untold stress and mental anguish and the recent events bear this out.
A farmer near Walgett in the north west of NSW, Cam Rowntree says the current drought conditions are creating huge problems for landholders in his region but the impacts of native legislation restrictions cannot be ignored.
"You'd be extremely naive to say that this is not a very, very, very important issue in this part of the world and some of the statements that have been made by ministers and Office of Environment and Heritage officials, that it's only a small fraction of people that are affected by this, is absolute rubbish."
Cam says farmers are trying to maximise their drought preparedness, increase their long-term viability and feel they have no power over their businesses.
"You have to ask yourself how events like this happen; they don't happen because everyone is happy.
"People are really stressed about this and they believe that their ability to farm and to manage their business effectively has been seriously reduced."
The NSW Minister for Natural Resources, Land and Water Kevin Humphries told a general assembly at the recent NSW Farmers annual conference the changing the law is going to be very complex and fraught with difficulty.
Cam Rowntree was in the audience at that gathering.
"Yes, I heard what Kevin said at the conference, and I've discussed the matter with him privately as well.
"I don't care how hard it is, I just want it fixed."
Cam says the ongoing drought in the north-west of the state is cruel, particularly in light of recent rains, but it's only one of the problems that farmers like him are facing.
"We can't run our farms effectively when our hands are tied by legislation."
"Farmers prepare for droughts like these by stockpiling fodder, grains, hay, silage - if we're being stopped from developing some of this under-developed rich flat northern country, it's limiting our ability to be self-sufficient."

Staggering Moral and Economic Consequences of Mass Deportation a Reminder Why Trump Presents GOP with Moment of Truth
It's certainly been an intense week for immigration advocates and activists. There's been an enormous amount of attention to the issue in the traditional media. On Wednesday night, Rachel Maddow took an in-depth look at the politics of immigration reform, SB 1070, Mitt Romney, and the hard-core anti-immigrant work of Kris Kobach and Michael Hethmon. It's 17 minutes long. If you have some time this weekend, it's definitely worth a watch:

SodaStream fundamentals remain in tact although profitability remains a question due to the weakened consumer. GMCR showed the very same problem during the holiday season when they reported earnings, the need to discount machines. They sold the average Keurig brewer $12 cheaper in the quarter due to a weakened consumer and showed their smallest rate of margin expansion all year while missing sales expectations.
SodaStream, regardless of partnerships will continue to struggle in a weak consumer environment. Something is going on in Japan & they are likely spending a good deal of money there, possibly positioning to by the distribution rights. India is likely to come very soon as all 4 key execs are in place to launch sales shortly. New refilling stations are set to launch in the U.S. and soon in Japan. These two refilling stations will help offset some margin pressure, but not eliminate margin pressure.
V8 flavors will be out shortly, very shortly. Cooking Light flavors are now available at Wegmans and Happy Hour flavors recently launched at BBBY. Stainless Steel bottles are coming soon and Vanilla Cola.
Regardless of KO/GMCR, soda still has a lot of headwinds regarding the consumer, so do retailers and all consumer good companies. Main priority is to keep getting machines out there and into the consumers' hands, regardless of cost. Razor blades will eventually produce the profitability desired longer term. That's the way the business model works.
oh shut the fk up sethy. your credibility is nothing. have you no sense of worth,? An, you post here again. at least i have a rhyme or reason. you, just have just your emotions. Which have proved to be second rate at best.
Rhyme or reason? Lets go with rhyme:)
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Ricky's so nuts
His flows are cuckoo
T.S. Atty
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I don't know if I follow you on this. Fundamentals remain intact but profitability is in question? Profitability generally goes hand in had with fundamentals. Although I think this is really just an issue of semantics. I also thought your usage of "operating leverage" was odd below. Operating leverage refers to the extent of margin expansion or contraction with revenue growth or decline.
Regardless, I agree with you the trading has been massive overreactions. Have had a few good trades on these swings, but got burned pretty badly by the pre announce. Have to shrug it off in the long run though. GMCR management put shareholders through way more pain than was necessary too, but for anybody who had the liquidity it was an opportunity of a lifetime. I have been a long time supported of GMCR, but it looks expensive to me now. Soda looks cheap. It is like when GMCR fell 25% on SBUX announcing the Verismo… People are getting twisted into knots over nothing. When the model actually breaks I will be the first to admit it. GMCR and KO have their work cut out for them way more than the market seems to be acknowledging.
You follow me, you understand the fundamentals. Amazon, margins, actual profits vs. sales, nothing different. The fundamentals of the business are to sell enough products/machines, benefit down the road from the razor blade portion of the business which is the overall fundamental story. With record sales achieved in Q4 2013, the fundamentals remain in tact. Pretty clear.
I have been told by a friend traveling in India that he saw Sodastream commercials on TV there.
They have TVs?
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Been on tv for over a year now, part of marketing to a new region.
Thanks for the lucidity Seth! When do you think the consumer will strengthen to offset the margins declining so much?
When will the consumer strengthen? Come on. The consumer is getting crushed. Wages have been flat or down for decades. Which is why you buy stocks that can offer better value propositions.
I don't foresee a strengthening consumer without additional Fed stimulus. Financial dysfunction in the U.S. is structural in nature and while it likely can't be fixed with stimulus as practiced to date, it can certainly postpone impact on the institution as a whole. With that said, SodaStream's business model is one in which they are required to sell more and more machines until the consumables part of the business is large enough to support profitability and forward looking R&D of the business which will also support future profitability.
SodaStream doesn't have operating leverage right now, none for which is substantial enough to offset consumer-related challenges such as those they are experiencing right now. What they have is longer term investment leverage such as that being employed in developing the new factory, buying distribution rights, launching and operating new refilling stations around the globe. These investments should all help leverage profitability, but not in the near term. New pipelines will be another contributing factor to profitability this year, but again, post new pipeline builds you will have the operating impact of those pipeline builds. SodaStream has always been a long-term story and if you believe in that story good for you. If not, don't give it a second thought as there are plenty of stocks in the market's seas.
It's a LAND GRAB!!!.... Profits will be put back into Marketing. The MARKET may start looking at Sodastream in a MARKET PENETRATION value.

Changes and more changes at the GMR web site
The good news is all the useful stuff is still there, now easier to find!
The National Network of Libraries of Medicine has been finishing its web site migration to the Drupal platform over the past year. The GMR site (part of the NNLM.gov domain) was migrated at the end of April, 2015. Since then we have gradually been tweaking it to replace functionality that was lost in the migration and to make our site easier and more intuitive to use. You may have noticed some of the bigger changes, such as the new Materials Order Form (https://nnlm.gov/gmr/outreach/exhibiting/materials-order-form) and the slide show on the front page. We have also been doing some consolidation, shifting, and renaming. So, for example, if you're looking for materials for library advocacy, you'll find them now under Member Services/Library Advocacy instead of Member Services/Promoting Your Library. We've also been experimenting with the menus, adding popup tool tips on some for clarity.
One of the biggest changes this year has been in the Training and Education section of our site. Lake Effects and Tech Talks now reside under the GMR Offerings, which replaced "GMR Classes" and has been reorganized with a more task oriented focus. Along the same lines, the Educational Resources page has been reorganized and renamed Guides and Tutorials. Take a spin around the evolving site! We hope you like the changes.
As always, feel free to send us feedback, through the site's feedback form (https://nnlm.gov/gmr/about/feedback/feedback-form) or via email (email@example.com).

Maxine Bahns: "Madison Has Awakened My Senses"
Maxine Bahns was made for motherhood! The 38-year-old actress and accomplished triathlete is also new mom to 8-month-old daughter Madison Rose and says "life couldn't be any better." Maxine opened up to Celebrity Baby Scoop about life with a textbook angel baby, staying in great shape while training for triathlons, her unexpected quick delivery (that her husband missed!), and her journey toward her acting career alongside ex-boyfriend Ed Burns.
CBS: You are mom to 8-month-old daughter Madison Rose. Tell us how motherhood has changed your life. Any surprises? What's your favorite part? Tell us about Madison's personality? What kinds of things does she do to make you laugh?
MB: "Motherhood has been amazing! I can't believe how easy it is. Every one said "your life will never be as easy and you won't sleep anymore." Well, my baby sleeps 12 hours every night and she is super easy and has made my relationship with my husband so much richer. We just laugh with her and watch each other in her. Seriously, it couldn't be any better. Madison and I go to swim class and it is so inspiring to see her kicking and splashing. I get to experience everything for the first time with her and I have been given the gift of seeing life with a whole new perspective. Four days a week I have been going to the pool to swim 1-2 miles each time, forgetting to appreciate the water, the sun, the freedom. She has definitely awakened my senses."
