Homebuilders were devastated by the collapse of the housing market during the brutal bear market from 2005 to 2009. Some homebuilders lost more than 80% of their market cap as investors fled. Since 2009, the combination of low interest rates, lower inventory, and rising rental rates has boded well for the housing market. Many of the homebuilders have exhibited excellent performance but the specter of higher interest rates have caused the sector to recently falter. Is the housing sector still a good investment opportunity? To gain insight, I looked at the risk and reward associated with homebuilders over several time frames.
Before analyzing individual companies, it will be useful to review the sector as a whole. There is currently more demand for new homes than supply due partly to the fact that companies have aggressively reduced inventory and scaled down their development. The number of new home sales in 2012 increased 20% over 2011 to an annual pace of 367,000 new homes but this is still well below the 20-year average pace of 760,000 new homes. In addition, the S&P/Case-Shiller 20 City Home Price Index is still below the 2007 top but appears to have stabilized and is continuing to improve.
In summary, the sector is still shell shocked from the bear market and many companies are sitting on large cash positions. The sector is improving but still has a long way to go to match the glory years between 2005 and 2007. To determine which companies may benefit the most from these improving fundamentals, I focused on the largest builders with a market cap over $1 billion. I also required the stocks to be very liquid, trading more than an average of 300,000 shares each day. The stocks that met by criteria are as follows:
- D.R. Horton (NYSE:DHI). This company is engaged in construction and sale of single family homes. It operates in 26 states covering most regions of the U.S. The homes are usually in the $100,000 to $600,000 range. Last year, the company sold 18,890 homes (more than any other homebuilder) at an average price of $223,300. Over the last year, the company has been increasing both the number of homes sold as well as the average price. It has a backlog of $1.7 billion sales, up 61% from a year ago. The stock yield is 0.6%.
- KB Home (NYSE:KBH). The company builds single family homes, condominiums, and town houses in 10 states. Last year, the company sold 6,282 units at an average price of $224,600. The company has recently shifted strategy toward building higher priced homes and this strategy has been paying off. However, it has a high debt-to-total-capital ratio of more than 80% and some of the debt was incurred several years ago at relatively high rates. The yield is 0.5%.
- Lennar Corp (NYSE:LEN). The company built 13,802 homes last year, which was up 27% from the previous year. The average price increased to $255,000 (from $244,000 the previous year). The homes are predominately in the east (39%) but Lennar also has strong sales in the central states (16%) and western region (17%). The company also has a large backlog of over 4,000 homes to build which bodes well for the future. The stock yields 0.4%.
- M.D.C Holdings (NYSE:MDC). The company sells single family homes under the name "Richmond American Homes" and operates in 10 states, primarily in the western, mountain, and southern regions of the United States. The home sell for an average price of $308,000 (up 14% from a year ago) and are focused on both first time buyers and buyers moving up. In 2012, 37% more homes were sold than 2011, providing this company with a solid bottom line. This stock yields 3.3%, which is a large yield for homebuilders.
- Meritage Homes (NYSE:MTH). The company builds single family homes, primarily in the western and southern states. Sales in 2012 were at a 5 year high, up 30% from 2011. The company also increased the average sale price by 11%, resulting in an impressive 39% increase in revenue. The company is among the largest builder in key fast-growing cities including Orlando and Phoenix. They entered 2013 with a good cash position. This stock does not pay a dividend.
- PulteGroup (NYSE:PHM). This is one of the largest homebuilders in the United States, building both single family residences and subdivisions. In 2012, it sold 16,505 units in 28 states. The average home sold for $276,000. Pulte Mortgage Corp is also a wholly-owned subsidiary. Over the past few years, it has experienced some issue with new order growth but improvement in the bottom line is expected this year. Last year, the company returned to profitability for the first time since 2006. It has also reinstated a quarterly dividend of $0.05 a share (about 1.2%).
- Ryland Group (NYSE:RYL). Ryland is recovering from a bad year in 2011, when it sold the fewest number of homes in over 20 years. In 2012, the number of homes sold increased over 41% to 5,719 and the price grew by 5%. This allowed Ryland to become profitable for the first time in 6 years. The company operates in 16 states in the western, southern, and central regions. It had a backlog of 2,319 homes at the end of 2012. Ryland has been making significant strides in 2013 and is poised to take advantage of the housing market recovery. The stock yields 0.3%.
- Standard Pacific (SPF). The company builds primarily in California, Florida, Carolinas, Texas, Arizona, and Colorado and delivered 3,291 new homes in 2012. High-end and luxury homes accounted for 77% of the total units. The company has significant exposure to California and the Sunbelt states where prices are rapidly rising. It has a relatively weak balance sheet with a high debt-to-equity ratio of 1.22 but the outlook appears to be improving. The stock does not pay a dividend.
- Toll Brothers (NYSE:TOL). This company builds upscale homes, condominiums, and townhouses in 19 states. The company expects to build between 3,400 and 4,400 home in 2013 at an average prices of $595,000 to $630,000. The luxury home market was not strong in 2012 but is improving, which should lead to better performance by Toll Brothers in 2014. The company has an excellent balance sheet with over a billion dollars in cash (at the end of July 2012) and a debt-to-total-capital ratio of only 43%. So TOL is well-positioned and can afford to wait for the market to improve. The stock does not pay a dividend.
As a reference in my analysis, I also included the following ETFs:
- iShares U.S. Home Construction (NYSEARCA:ITB). Home builders make up 64% of this ETF with the rest of the holdings in building materials/fixtures (19%), home improvement companies (12.5%), and furniture (4%). There are 32 companies in the portfolio. This is a cap weighted index with the top four holdings (Lennar, PulteGroup, DR Horton, and Toll Brothers) representing about 37% of the overall portfolio. The ETF yields 0.46% and has an expense ratio of 0.46%. (Note: SPDR S&P Homebuilders (NYSEARCA:XHB) has only 26% of its total assets allocated to homebuilders. Therefore, I did not include XHB as a reference).
- SPDR S&P 500 (NYSEARCA:SPY). This ETF tracks the S&P 500 equity index and has a yield of 2%. This was used as a reference to compare homebuilders to the general equity market.
To analyze risks and return, I used the Smartfolio 3 program (smartfolio.com) over the past 5 years. The results are shown in Figure 1, which plots the rate of return in excess of the risk free rate of return (called Excess Mu on the charts) against the historical volatility.
Figure 1. Risk versus Reward past 5 years
As is evident from the figure, there was a relatively large range of returns and volatilities. For example, MTH had a high rate of return but also had a high volatility. Was the increased return worth the increased volatility? To answer this question, I calculated the Sharpe Ratio.
The Sharpe Ratio is a metric, developed by Nobel laureate William Sharpe that measures risk-adjusted performance. It is calculated as the ratio of the excess return over the volatility. This reward-to-risk ratio (assuming that risk is measured by volatility) is a good way to compare peers to assess if higher returns are due to superior investment performance or from taking additional risk. In Figure 1, I plotted a red line that represents the Sharpe Ratio associated with SPY. If an asset is above the line, it has a higher Sharpe Ratio than SPY. Conversely, if an asset is below the line, the reward-to-risk is worse than SPY. Similarly, I plotted a blue line that represents the Sharpe Ratio associated with iShares Home Construction Index .
Some interesting observations are apparent from Figure 1. Over the past 5 years, homebuilders have exhibited a breathtaking volatility, with some companies being three times more volatile than the S&P 500. Generally, the risk has not been worth the reward since most of the homebuilders are below the red line. However, LEN did have an excellent risk-adjusted return that beat the S&P and MTH had about the same risk-adjusted return as SPY. ITB had a return just slightly better than SPY but had volatility substantially higher than SPY. About half the homebuilders performed better than ITB on a risk-adjusted basis.
I next checked to see how much diversification you obtained from having the homebuilders in your portfolio. To be "diversified," you want to choose assets such that when some assets are down, others are up. In mathematical terms, you want to select assets that are uncorrelated (or at least not highly correlated) with each other. I calculated the pair-wise correlations associated with the selected stocks and funds. The results are provided as a correlation matrix in Figure 2. Generally speaking, the homebuilder provided good diversification with regards to the S&P 500, with correlations ranging from 57% to 65%. As you would expect, the correlation was much higher when compared to ITB, with correlations in the 87% to 89% range. The only exception was SPF which tended to be less correlated than the other homebuilders.
Figure 2. Correlation Matrix over past 5 years
To check how the performance may have changed over a shorter more-bullish period of time, I reduced the look back period to 3 years and re-ran the analysis. The results are shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Risk versus Reward over 3 years
During the past three years, both the S&P 500 and the homebuilders were in a bull market, with the homebuilders actually generating higher returns (likely because they came from much lower starting points) but with significantly higher volatilities. The only homebuilders that came close to the SPY on a risk-adjusted basis were LEN, with RYL and MTH not far behind. Overall, the homebuilders were still extremely volatile but the absolute value of the volatility was abated over the past three years (ranging from 30% to 60% as versus 40% to 80% during the five-year period). When compared to ITB, all the individual homebuilders were more volatile (as you would expect). The majority of the individual homebuilders had a higher absolute return than ITB but only LEN, RYL, and MTH had as good or better risk-adjusted returns.
The investment landscape became even murkier in the more recent past. Since May of this year, the fear of rising rates has taken a toll on homebuilders, causing them to give back the gains they had achieved during the first quarter. To obtain a more near-term view, I ran the analysis from the beginning of 2012 to the present, a little over 1.5 years. This data is presented in Figure 4.
Figure 4. Risk versus Reward since January 2012
Some significant changes have occurred over the last 1.5 years. Even over the near term, the sector was still volatile, with volatilities 3 to 5 times the volatility of the S&P 500. Despite the pullback in May, ITB has still outperformed the SPY on an absolute return basis and equaled the SPY on a risk-adjusted basis. The homebuilders have tended to clump together with RYL, PHM, SPF, and KBH providing good risk-adjusted performance and the rest of the sector faltering.
Bottom Line
The recent decision by the Fed to continue asset purchases is a large plus for the homebuilders. At the first sign of potential tapering in May, the sector began to sell off. Mortgages have climbed to the mid-4% range but are still low by historical standards. If you are worried about increased rates in 2014, you may want to focus more on builders that construct "luxury" or "move-up" homes. Purchasers in these higher priced markets tend to be less sensitive to interest rates.
Overall, homebuilders have offered risk tolerant investor excellent absolute returns since the bottom of the bear market in 2009. However, on a risk adjusted basis, they have not done as well as the S&P with a few notable exceptions. The relative performance of the homebuilders varies depending on the period under analysis but in general, RYL, PHM, and SPF have done reasonably well over all periods.
It should be noted that these stocks (with the exception of MDC) pay only small or no dividend, so they are not good candidates for the income investor. However, if you are interested in capital gains, there is a large potential since the stocks are still selling well below the highs of 2005 and 2006. In recent years, the environment has been favorable. If the Fed foregoes tapering and the mortgage rates stay low, this sector could continue to outperform.
In conclusion, homebuilders stocks are not for the faint-hearted. However, if you can withstand the volatility, this sector is worthy of consideration.

Engineering probes and assays for monitoring islet beta cell mass or function in vivo
Diabetes is becoming a worldwide health problem affecting more than 350 million people. The lesion in islet beta cells represents a primary cause of diabetes. While it has been recognized that both defects in beta cell function and loss in beta cell mass can occur during prediabetes, it remains challenging to assess each of these two parameters separately in vivo. We are engineering new probes for beta cell labeling, aiming to develop methods for monitoring changes in islet beta cell mass or function over time. Once developed, such assays would have the potential for clinical applications to follow the progression of the disease and to assess the efficacy of therapeutic strategies designed to restore beta cell mass or function.
Physiological regulation of hormone secretion in pancreatic islets
Proper regulation of hormone secretion in pancreatic islets is essential for maintaining glucose homeostasis. We are interested in understanding mechanisms governing stimulus-secretion coupling in islet cells using a combination of approaches including cell biology, biochemistry and imaging.
Functional analysis of microRNA
microRNAs are small, non-coding RNAs ~ 22 nucleotides in length. A specific microRNA can have multiple target mRNAs, and can perform diverse roles in development, physiology and/or disease. Because of their complex involvement in numerous pathways and in different cell types, it is important to identify the targets of a given microRNA in specific cell types and under specified conditions. We are developing a new method, TargetLink, to achieve this goal.

This is the perfect project for a non-darcs Haskeller to get on. Good for us, good for the whole Haskell community. Approach : identify likely haskellers (e.g. authors/maintainers of respective hackage packages) and ask for their help?
We should spin off
Things that probably should be spun off into standard libraries (or merged with, replaced with, etc)
Diff detection, edit distance, lcs, code
- Gwern has imported Lcs.lhs into the lcs package maintained by Igloo; he was just waiting on relicensing permission from Dr. Roundy
Crypto stuff (issue2043)
- the folks behind the Crypto package seem to say that our implementation of SHA1 (was it sha1?) was faster but more imperative… so what to do here? Can we make the functional crypto faster? Should we submit our code as a fast crypto variant of the pure implementation?
- there is also the SHA package (which says it's slow)
Date parsing
System.Posix stuff for windows (package: unix-compat ?)
- Unfortunately, the unix-compat package does not currently export everything we need (ie. no System.Posix, no System.Posix.IO) and it's unclear to me why the CtrlC.hs module.
- Fetching remote files (curl on Hackage, but maybe generic wrapper for curl/libwww/HTTP)
- XML handling can probably be reduced; no doubt a lot of the functions in src/Darcs/Patch/Viewing.lhs are redundant with xml or something^[But then, which XML library? There's more than one. Probably not HaXml as too big a dep.].
Advanced printing: Darcs.ColorPrinter and Printer
Progress reporting framework
- Need permission from David to BSD-license this
Commands/subcommands/arguments infrastructure
- issue1550
- See the cmdargs library
Typed filepaths
- issue1791
- Talk to Duncan Coutts about this! He's thinking about something like this for Cabal
MIME parsing/generation
We have spun off
Gzip/gunzip (interactions with bytestring)
- GaneshSittampalam has done this (add a Haskell zlib interface)
- done by DonStewart during darcs hacking sprint #1 (2008-10)
filepath stuff - we have our idiosyncrasies
- From issue341: "I'm not convinced that System.FilePath is a route we'd want to go. We already have code that is almost certainly better tested than System. FilePath and that we understand." –DavidRoundy 2006-11
Potential pitfalls
- encode/decode white
- utf-8 (should not affect filepath; just packing)
- safeFileChar?
100% backwards-compatibility for internal patch stuff (safest bet is not to change code)
- subtle semantic differences
- Good news: it's just the FilePath type we're dealing with here (i.e. String), so it should be a relatively painless switch.
EricKow has done some work to replace some of our ad-hoc code with filepath code; there may be more to go, though
slurpies (file trees)

It also provides Web 2.0 based capabilities to add, edit, move, and create new records in the LDAP store, leveraging XSL stylesheets to offload heavy processing to the clients and reduce bandwidth consumption by up to 95% or more.
eXtended Account Management System (XAMS) allows Administration of Unix, Web, FTP, DNS, and email accounts to manage a provider's typical userbase. Especially focusing on email account management, it enables you to easily create accounts, set aliases, and delegate domain administration to 2nd party resellers or customers. It uses PHP with MySQL or PostgreSQL as a backend, and is therefore able to manage tons of email accounts independently from your Unix/Linux accounts. Exim for SMTP and Courier for POP/IMAP are fully supported, but postfix, Cyrus, and qmail can be used too.
Brim is a Web based information manager which manages bookmarks, agenda/calendar, contacts, tasks, notes, passwords, collections, and more. Brim is based on an MVC framework that uses items with a potential hierarchical relation as its base. It supports multiple themes, an unlimited number of items/folders, and has over 15 translations.
AddressBook X LDAP provides a shared addressbook on your local network, without the burden of subscriptions. It is an iSync enabled application which transfers contacts from the AddressBook to a central LDAP directory. It also provides the ability to browse and search the directory. Multiple schema mappings are available and can be customized and extended to address individual needs. Currently, ABxLDAP Person (an extension to InetOrgPerson) is fully supported, but the Mozilla Schema and the basic InetOrgPerson are in development. Support for Active Directory is included as well.
ConTagged is a Web-based address book for small companies. It features a public address book which is writable for all company staff and a personal address book for each staff member. Contacts can be grouped and looked up flexibly by assigning tags to them. It requires an existing LDAP server to authenticate users and to store the contact data.

- Leah
Mar 24, 2009 - She ROCKS! Everything written about her in reviews is dead on. The woman can cut curly hair like nothing I have ever seen and I have seen alot. I am the daughter of a hairdresser so hair is very important to me. I stopped fighting my curly hair 3 years ago even flew to a popular salon in Ft. Lauderdale that specializes in cutting curly hair to get my hair cut. I liked the results but the price and time was just not realisitc to repeat. Joined NaturallyCurly to look for a salon closer to home. Read all the reviews on Leah, booked an appointment and took a friend with curly hair like me. Was blown away with the results. I have thick type 2C hair and it has never felt so lite and full of body like it does now. The women has an amazing talent and more importantly she teaches as she goes.

Busy Busy Days
Also, a big milestone to report: today was Deron's "Head Down Day." We took a long walk (well, in my case, a gurney "roll") around the building this morning, and outside for some fresh air, so he could utilize his legs one last time... then at 11:00 am, he joined the ranks of the -6 degree club.
In other news, Devin just hit day 60, his two month mark. Only one month to go for Sarcasmo!
As for me, nothing new to report until mail call. My Sci-Fi buddies, Mr. & Mrs. L in California, shipped me this awesome Star Trek 30th Anniversary collectible, with Ken & Barbie filling in for Captain Kirk and Yeoman Rand. (I guess Mattel doesn't have a mold for Vulcan ears, pity.) What will they think of next?! I have never had a Barbie doll before that I can recall, and never thought I'd get my first at age 38, LOL... thanks guys! This has been one heck of a conversation piece around here!!

happily, no... he's mute. but i can't wait to rip his shirt, then loose him upon any superior lifeforms who develop a god-complex, and watch him thwart their condescending ideology, ultimately portraying a moral message about the nature of humanity after we triumph against subjugation, following his example of stylized violence laced with charm.

3 Women Charged With Raping Men & Hoarding 33 Condoms Worth Of Semen
Any story of rape, whether it happens to a man, woman or child, is horrific and tragic. This particular story has the distinction of being horrific, tragic and weird: three women in Zimbabwe have been charged with sexually assaulting male hitchhikers and collecting condoms filled with semen. The women had 33 jizz-laden condoms, which police say were acquired during 17 different sexual assaults over the past two years.
So, what the hell is going on?
Police say the women picked up male hitchhikers and then offered them a drink with a tranquilizer and then raped them, or
forced them into having sex raping them at gunpoint. (UPDATE: Previous sentence updated to reflect a point made by commenter TheFabulousMzM.) Then they would take the sperm-filled condoms and ditch the guys.
A sociology professor at the University of Zimbabwe told CNN a belief that semen is a potent life source for activities other than baby-making could be behind the attacks. He explained:
"Some sections of the society use these sperm for ritual purposes. The thinking is that it can be used for regeneration of life since they are source of life (biologically). Some people think that they can have their bad luck gone by using semen."
How extremely bizarre. And sad. And gross.

If scrawny little Tutankhamun can do it, a badass like Khufu could probably cause them to spontaneously combust.
The first pyramid has been definitely attributed to Cheops or Khufu, and is situated at Gizeh.
"The Sphinx" is the monster figure in front of the Pyramid of Khufu, but older than it.
The first and greatest of the builders of the pyramids, says Mr. Rawlinson, was Khufu or Cheops.
The tables discovered at Abydos make Khufu the successor of Senoferu.
Hordedef told him that he had come from afar to bring him before his father, Khufu.
The largest and most ancient of the pyramids was built by Khufu.
Khufu was builder of the largest; this is generally called "the Great Pyramid."
Another of these pyramids, Cheops, was built by the brother and successor of Khufu.
When King Khufu heard that story, he praised the men of olden times.

Education Questions and Answers
Why do we need to study literature?
Why? Can you pls. give me some really good answers? Thnx!
literature helps u get attuned with yr innermost feelings desires n sentiments like self-denial passion romance anger wrath etc. teaches u role-playing when u act out Shakespearean plays. improves ur vocabulary by forcing u to read more novels. basically just gets u thinking about the finer things in life...
Source: Am an Eng Lit Majr
Simply put - people who read a lot tend to be smarter. And not just literature, but almost anything.
Literature improves your spelling, grammar, and vocabulary, enriches your mind, makes you more creative, and opens up a world of ideas and possibilities that you might not have necessarily thought of on your own.
In order to answer your question, I'll compare science and literature:
(1) science: scientists observe systems and study/investigate what they see or perceive around them in order to understand or explain natural laws or events;
(2) literature: analyzes and reveals the human nature, which is not observable in the same way that science is; however, what writers do is to dig deep into the human soul in order to report behavior, emotions and relationships between people throughout history.
The basic difference between the two is that science focuses on objectivity (= what exists outside the mind), and literature on subjectivity (= what exists in the mind). However, it is important to underline that writers have to be objective as they portray feelings and emotions, that is, in order to be a good writer you need to know how to observe and analyze the human soul and also how to report your observations accurately.
Therefore, studying literature teaches you how (1) to observe people's actions and reactions; (2) to understand and analyze the human soul; (3) to read and interpret the most complex texts (which will make it easier for you to read and understand scientific texts and papers); and, finally, (4) to master writing techniques.

But if all our pictures are as successful as the 1937 edition, then I shall have lots more 'favourite' roles."

It's dependent on your requirements overall. You would need to provide a basic brief at least… I would usually request a sketch even if a bad one of the layout you want to achieve and a list of features you want and a list of features you want your visitors to have access to. Sometimes it's a good idea to give the developer design control but specify exactly what you want (making sure you have planned this) and also ask for advice on what is possible and then barter for a price. If you have a budget specify this first before requesting giant animated gold robots on every page. Have a look at competitors sites and see what you like about their sites. Pick something different from each one, this way your site will be a little more unique!
Cost is the first thing to mention and the last thing to be finalized.
Your site is currently okay but I agree there are some design changes that would benefit the end user! I'm in Wolverhampton and happy to help inbox me on here and I'll happily help… if not just to provide some advice from a designers point of view but to discuss your requirements. Looking forward to hearing from you and if I can't help then I wish you the best of luck!
Great site by the way! came up on search pretty quickly

Though I wrote this with families of special needs children in mind, the thought occurs to me that maybe there are others who could use some laughter as well. Perhaps your child is not one who has special needs, but part of God's specific plan for him was to bring joy and laughter into your home. Enjoy!
Choose laughter.
If you are the parent of a special child, you know that some of the things your special child does are downright funny. So laugh. Some of the things he says are funny. Laugh. Some of the things that happen as you deal with agencies and service providers are so ridiculously absurd that they border on hilarious. Choose to laugh.
In my BC days (Before Children), I taught Spanish in a local high school. I had the privilege of teaching Spanish for Heritage Speakers, a class for students who already spoke the language. One of my students was a young man from El Salvador. He had escaped his homeland during a time of war. This student told me jokes almost every day, and I enjoyed repeating them to the other Spanish teachers.
One day a colleague asked me, "Patsy, why is it all the jokes you tell us in Spanish are about dead people?"
Oh, my! I had not even realized it. I said, "I don't know. I just tell the ones Willie tells me."
The next day I asked Willie about it. He explained it this way: "Miss, in my country, we saw a lot of death. We had to choose. If you didn't laugh about it, you cried. I chose to laugh."
I often tell parents who homeschool special kids, "You are homeschooling in a war zone." All bets are off regarding anything normal in life. Normal is just a setting on your dryer anyway. Nothing is normal in my home. Every day is one continuous interruption, one surprise after another, one event after another. Nothing is smooth. No two days are alike. We make attempts at schedules, but they are not rigid–they cannot be.
So if I, like Willie, live in a war zone, then I have the same choice to make that Willie made. I can cry. Or I can laugh. If I try to make everything in my life make sense, I will go crazy. If I try to explain absolutely everything until my son understands what I have said, he and I will go down that crazy road together. If I try to understand everything he says and does, normal will not even be a word that could be applied to me (not that it is anyway!).
Sometimes, I just choose to laugh.
I learned to choose laughter when our son was still a preschooler. Although I tried to keep flat surfaces clear, I was rarely successful. Our kitchen table always seemed to have something on it besides the usual kitchen items. One day, my search for the stapler took me to the kitchen table, but despite all my best efforts, I could not get it to work. Of course, like everyone who has ever had a stapler malfunction, I picked it up, opened the hinge, and looked at the mechanism. Much to my surprise (or maybe my chagrin), there was dried green Jell-O® in the slot from which a staple should have emerged.
Since we had been learning from an autism specialist to be detectives in our son's life and try to analyze all of his actions in order to understand him better, I immediately went into detective mode and tried to figure this one out. Now, what kind of questions does one pose to herself when trying to figure out dried, green Jell-O® in a stapler? The one that immediately came to mind was this: What was he trying to staple to Jell-O®?
Lest you think that this question was easily resolved, let me assure you that it was not. I was in the midst of not just days or weeks of sleep deprivation but literally years of not sleeping through the night. I am not sure how many brain cells I lost during that time, but I am quite sure that the ones that were left had absolutely no answer for the question I had posed to myself.
It was in that moment that I finally realized this critical philosophy: I can go crazy trying to figure this out, or I can just laugh at the absurdity of it.
I chose laughter, and since that day, our family has enjoyed so much less stress, because we have learned that fact is, indeed, stranger than anything anyone could make up. We do not need television sitcoms. Life itself is funny!
One of the greatest compliments our family has ever received came from the young woman who is our son's attendant. She is in our home forty hours a week, so she sees a lot of life here. She told me recently, "I think your family laughs more than any other family I know. You find the humor in everything."
I am not suggesting that you undermine your own authority with your child. I do not mean that you should allow open defiance. But if his explanation for WHY he did what he did makes a lot of sense when taken in HIS context, laugh!
Maybe we all need to take ourselves less seriously. And has it ever occurred to you that that may be the very reason God gave you this special child to begin with?

"There were a few bad years there before it got better for me—like they say, it's got to get bad before it gets good. I actually broke my back in 2011 and that sidelined me for a while when I was rehabbing it. I didn't want to make a big deal about it, so I didn't really talk about the injury a lot. It actually happened out at Pipe. I pulled into one and the foam ball pushed me toward the beach and then the wave literally broke on my back. The lip flared out as it broke and really compressed and tweaked my back. I came in knowing something was wrong, and then went to the hospital where they took X-rays and said that I had cracked one of my vertebrae. I was on pain pills when the doctor came in and told me that I had broken my back and I was tripping because I didn't think it hurt that bad. It was pretty heavy to hear. From there I spent some time rehabbing and trying to get my confidence back."
"I think that living in Hawaii has kept me pretty humble. People will put you in your place if you're acting out of line and respect is a big part of living here. Even if I wanted to, I don't think I could get all cocky without someone setting me straight. I'm not anything special. Just some people think that I surf well. It's weird to be compared to someone else or for someone to say that I'm better than that person and I'm going to do this or do that. I mean, that's just someone's opinion, right? That's all that is. An opinion. Who's to say that anyone's actually a better surfer than someone else? I'm just surfing. I'm just being me. AI is AI. Kelly is Kelly. Curren is Curren. I'm just trying to be me. When it comes to giving advice to younger people, I always struggle because I feel like I'm still having a hard enough time trying to figure it out myself, you know? I'm not gonna tell someone not to dream big or not to have ambitions or goals because I think that's important. But at the same time, I don't think it's good for young kids to really build their whole view of what surfing is by how well they do in a contest or how well they surf. You should surf because you love it, not because you want a sponsor or a good ranking in the NSSA. If that stuff happens, then great, it happened. But don't surf because that's what you want. You can't force stuff like that. If you love surfing, that should be enough."
"How do I view success in the future? That's a hard one. I feel pretty successful today, because I'm able to make a living out of surfing. But at a professional or competitive level, I think you have to always be redefining your view of success to move forward. If Slater had said that success meant winning four world titles, and he would have stopped there, he wouldn't have gone on to win seven more titles. You can't put an actual value on success. I think you have to always be reevaluating what it means and always pushing yourself. You want to set goals, but when you reach them, you have to make new ones."

PASL Week 2: Sidekicks end Sockers 46 game unbeaten run, La Fiera on fire at Strikers expense
It was a night of emotion in San Diego on Saturday 9th November 2013, and a date that will live long in the memory of all who witnessed the tumbling of some pretty stupendous records.
Not since the Sockers rejoined the PASL in 2009 have they suffered a home defeat, looking even earlier in the franchise's history, they had failed to be beaten at home since 2004 so the victory by Dallas Sidekicks, although not completely an out of this world achievement, it was pretty spectacular.
Amidst a high fiving, back patting furore of screaming fans, San Diego handed out 4'000 championship rings to its fans and as it would happen, 5'658 people turned up - a record for the club!
Dallas stood on no ceremony though and handed the Sockers the defeat, and despite the 14th championship banner having been unfurled prior to the game, the Texans were in no mood to bow to the four times consecutive champions.
Goals from Koochoie, Shamu, Hernandex, Lovegrove and Arredondo were enough to seal the victory as a stalwart defence managed to limit the home side to just the three goals.
Sunday night for the Kicks was not to be as joyful despite scoring another five goals!
Ontario took this match by the scruff of the neck in the first couple of periods, leading 3-1 after the first and 5-2 after the second and by this time it appeared that the travel endured by the Dallas players may take its toll on them but back they bounced in the third with two goals to cut the deficit to just the one goal.
Into the fourth period and spirits were raised as Shamu grabbed the equaliser but in the remainder of play, they just couldn't find that winning goal.
Ontario however did find that winning touch, scoring just the once more to run out 6-5 winners over an unbeaten Dallas side.
Dallas take on Tulsa Revolution next weekend, with the Oklahoma side still looking for their first victory this term. The Sidekicks also return to US Open Cup action on Sunday with their tie against PASL Premier side Austin Capitals, the winner of which will take on Hidalgo La Fiera in the last 16.
Hidalgo La Fiera set the scoring charts on fire in their match up with Texas Strikers on Saturday with Robson de Souza in particularly goal scoring form as he bagged himself four of the eventual 13 goals that were rifled into the back of the Strikers goal net.
In reply, the visitors, who were playing only their first match this season, managed only the one goal in response courtesy of Hector Garcia in the third quarter.
League standings show that despite the loss to Ontario, Dallas find themselves in second spot behind Monterrey. Thanks to the thumping win over Texas, Hidalgo moved into third with a win PCT of .500. Tulsa and Texas languish at the bottom of the Central division still looking for the first victory.
The Professional Arena Soccer League (PASL) is a North American indoor soccer league. The PASL is an affiliated member of the FIFRA (Federation International Futbal Rapido Association) with 20 teams from USA and Mexico currently participating in season 2013-14.

Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 3, No. 263. Monday, 19 October 1992.
Date: Monday, Oct. 19, 1992
Subject: Folger Library Programs for 1992-1993
The Folger Library has for the past few weeks been distributing a twenty-page
brochure that describes its Performing Arts and Museum Programs for the 1992-
1993 season. If you would like to receive one, you may write to The Folger
Shakespeare Library, 201 East Capitol Street, S.E., Washington, D.C. 20003.
Below are some excerpts that may be of interest to SHAKSPEReans:
Join us this season in the Folger Elizabethan Theatre for an array of
concerts, readings, performances, lectures, and educational programs, all with
the Folger flair for continuing the Renaissance traditions of quality and
inquiry into the 20th Century. Whether it's Nobel Prize winner Octavio Paz
reading from his own poems and those of his favorite authors, the music of the
Folger Consort heralding in the Holiday season, of D.C. elementary school
students performing Shakespeare, the Folger has something for everyone.
In addition to these programs, the Folger offers year-round exhibits
from its collection in the Great Hall. In the Reading Room, scholars pursue
their research using materials from the English and Continental Renaissance,
including the world's largest collection of early editions of Shakespeare.

New World of Wonders: European Images of the Americas, 1492-1700
with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities
Books, engravings, drawings, and artifacts illustrate what it was like,
500 years ago, to wonder at, learn about, and visualize a New World. Native
Americans, specimens of plants and animals, and gold, silver, and pearls were
taken back to Europe, put on display, and represented in print, on the stage,
and in public festivities. This exhibit explores the stereotyped images of
America and Americans which developed side by side with the beginnings of
modern museums and the serious study of other cultures. October 8, 1992 --
March 6, 1993. CATALOGUE: $19.95.

The Elizabethan View of Italy
Renaissance Italy captured the imaginations of the Elizabethans, who
were simultaneously intrigued and scandalized by the culture and customs of
their southern neighbors. Shakespeare, himself not immune to the allure of
Italy, set several of his most popular plays there. The exhibit examines the
active international cultural exchange and explores Elizabethan attitudes, as
revealed in the literature, art, religion, science, and general customs of the
period. March 24--June 12, 1993.

The Folger stage is an ideal place to explore the excitement and
variety of theatre, with works by Shakespeare and other dramatists.
*The Cure at Troy*: Staged reading
Washington's Scena Theatre stages a dramatic reading of Irish poet
Seamus Heaney's first play, based on Philoctetes by Sophocles. First performed
at Dublin's Abbey Theatre, The Cure at Troy is, in Heaney's words, about the
dilemma of choosing between "loyalty to the organization or to your own sense
of what is right." Philoctetes, the great archer, must choose between helping
his own Greek brothers, who have previously exiled him, or bearing the grudge
of the previous injustice. Presented in conjunction with Scena Theatre's New
European Play Festival, this year celebrating "A Sense of Ireland."
Friday, September 11, 1992, 8.00 p.m., $12
*You Don't Need Four Women To Play Shakespeare*: discussion and performance
This evening focuses on *You Don't Need Four Women To Play Shakespeare:
Bias in Contemporary American Theatre, a new book on anthropology and
performance by Ida Prosky. Washington actor Robert Prosky will read selected
passages, followed by a panel of Washington women of the theatre moderated by
Horizons Theatre Artistic Director Leslie Jacobsen.
Monday, September 21, 1992, 8:00 p.m., reception afterwards with
panelists and performers in the Great Hall, $10.
*The Tempest*: staged reading of excerpts and lecture.
Calaban dispossessed inhabitant of Shakespeare's brave new world," and
other aspects of *The Tempest reveal ways in which early impressions of the
Americas were used in English theatre in the 15th and 16th centuries. This
depiction of primitive man's encounter with European "civilization" says much
about how myths were developed and perpetuated. A staged reading of excerpts
of *The Tempest* by Emery Battis and colleagues is introduced with a talk by
Virginia and Alden Vaughan, scholar consultants to the Folger's New World of
Wonders exhibit. Monday, February 22, 7:30 p.m., exhibit viewing at
intermission, $12.
*A Midsummer Night's Dream*: performance and workshop.
The Traveling Shakespeare Company directed by Michael Tolaydo brings
Shakespeare's delightful, fantastical comedy to the Elizabethan Theatre. This
fast-paced adventure follows the hilariously quirky course of true love as
seen through the eyes of quarreling fairies, teenage lovers, and a troupe of
amateur actors. As part of the experience, participatory workshops give you a
chance to get inside the play before you see it.
Tuesday, February 2, 1993, Wednesday, February 5, and Thursday,
February 4, Workshop at 10:00 a.m. and performance at 12:00 noon, $15.
Thursday, February 4, Friday, February 5, Saturday, February 6, workshop

Joy Kenseth
"A World of Wonders in one Closet Shut"
The novel, the strange, the exotic -- these are the things which cause
wonder in the viewer. Sixteenth- and 17th-century Europeans devoted a
surprising amount of attention to the cultivation of wonder--in the wonder
cabinets and in other forms of collecting. Professor Kenseth will talk about
the *Kunst-und Wunderkammeer*, tracing the gradual evolution of the concept of
the museum, as cabinets created for recreation and entertainment became
collections organized for study and research. Dr. Kenseth is associate
professor of Art History at Dartmouth.

years of Native American images is crucial to our examination of the encounter
between natives and newcomers on this continent. Dr. Trout, director of the
Summer Institute Program at the Newberry Library's Center for the History of
the American Indian, presents a slide lecture which challenges audience
members to examine their own perceptions of people different from themselves
and how they form those perceptions.

Elaine Gonzalez
"Chocolate's Glorious Past and Delicious Future"
Legend says that chocolate, one of the genuine treasures of the new
world, was a gift of the gods to the Toltecs. Chocolate expert Elaine Gonzalez
is unsurpassed as author, educator, lecturer, and artist of all things
chocolate. Her book *Chocolate Artistry* has been called the "chocolate bible"
(*Vista* magazine). Ms. Gonzalez presents a slide lecture on chocolate's
colorful history and uses traditional and innovative techniques to demonstrate
chocolate as a delectable artistic medium.
Wednesday, January 13, 1993, 7.00 p.m., chocolate feast follows, $10
William Sturtevant
"Picturing Americans before 1700"
Anthropological evidence brought to bear on European illustrations of
Native American subjects made during the first 200 years after Columbus
reveals a complex mix of realism, misconceptions, and stereotyping. Details of
dress and artifact from different cultures of five continents were often
combined in a single portrayal. Dr. Sturtevant, anthropologist with the
Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History and a scholarly consultant to
the Folger's New Worlds of Wonder, presents a slide lecture which explores
some illustrations which had a key role in shaping our current images of the
Americas discovered by Columbus.

Ever wonder where internet rumors get started? Me too. Yesterday a rumor about Amazon buying Netflix started making the rounds. On some level it makes sense, right? Amazon has its Video-on-Demand system, Netflix has Watch-Now. Amazon ships 70 skillion* books, baby pacifiers and cans of mushy peas every day, while Netflix's red envelopes flood the postal service. By buying Netflix, Amazon gets a huge new influx of customers that are accustomed to streaming media into their homes (some sources suggest that 20% of Netflix's subscribers – something like 2 million customers – have used Watch Now) and who may be willing to throw down a few bucks to get more recent content via Video-on-Demand (Watch Now content seems to lag behind the DVD schedule). So it isn't a crazy rumor, but where did it get started? Beyond Netflix's stock price rising, I haven't been able to locate a source. In fact all I've found is posts debunking the rumor. Bloomberg points out that if Amazon owned Netflix, then Amazon would have to start collecting state sales tax in every state that has a Netflix distribution center (which is almost every state) and Amazon has indicated that it really doesn't want to start collecting sales tax from its customers. That alone seems to be reason enough to discredit the rumor. Kara Swisher makes a decent argument that Microsoft, not Amazon, would be a better fit for Netflix (based, in part, on the fact that Watch Now is available on the Xbox 360). I hope she's wrong. A Microsoft buy-out would be bad news for consumers. Netflix's Watch Now is available on many devices, from televisions (including Sony televisions) to blu-ray players to the nifty Roku box that I can't ever resist promoting, plus there are persistent rumors of the service heading to the Nintendo Wii and Sony PS3 gaming consoles. I don't think many of these deals (particularly the ones involving Sony) would survive a Microsoft acquisition. As per the usual rules of business, no one is talking officially. Netflix and Amazon are both giving the standard "We don't comment on rumors or speculation" line, so we'll just have to wait and see what's going on. And in even more curious media-streaming news, BlockBuster and Samsung have announced that Blockbuster On-Demand capability is coming to some Samsung televisions (news via Engadget). I thought Blockbuster was about done. What does Samsung know that the rest of us don't? *Number approximated

5 Reasons to use a Java Data Grid in your application
In this post we explore 5 reasons to use a Java Data Grid for caching Java objects in-memory in your applications. In a later post we will explore some of the other data grid capabilities, beyond data storage, that can revolutionize your Java architectures, like on-grid computation and events.
Memory is Fast
Java Data Grids store Java objects in memory. Memory access is fast with low latency. So if access to data storage either disk or database is the primary bottleneck in your application then using a data grid as an in-memory cache in front of your storage tier will give you a performance boost.
Scale out your Application Shared State
If you need to share state across JVMs to scale out your application then using a Java Data Grid rather than a database will increase your scalability. A typical shared state architecture is shown below, the application server tier stores shared Java objects in the data grid and these objects are available to all application server nodes in your architecture.
Separating the data grid tier from the application server tier has a number of advantages;
- Applications can be redeployed and restarted without losing the shared state
- Data Grid JVMs and Application JVMs can be tuned separately
- State can be shared across multiple different applications.
- Each tier can be scaled horizontally separately depending on work load
Typical use cases for shared state include; PCI compliant storage of card security codes; In-game state in online games; web session data; prices and catalogues in ecommerce. Anything that needs low latency access can be stored in the shared data grid.
High Availability for In-Memory Data
As well as low latency access and scaling out shared state. Java Data Grids also provide high availability for your in-memory data. When storing Java objects in a data grid a primary object is stored in one of the Data Grid JVMs and secondary back up copies of the object are stored in different Data Grid JVM node, ensuring that if you lose a node then you don't lose any data.
Clients of the data grid do not need to know where data is to access it so high availability is transparent to your application.
Scale Out In-Memory Data Volumes
Java objects, in data grids, aren't fully replicated across all Data Grid JVMs but are stored as a primary object and a secondary object. This means the more Data Grid JVM nodes we add the more JVM heap we have for storing Java objects in-memory (and remember memory is fast).
For example if we build a Data Grid with 20 JVMs each with 4Gb free heap (after per JVM overhead) we could theoretically store 80Gb (4 times 20) of shared Java objects. If we assume we have 1 duplicate for high availability this cuts our storage in half so we can store 40Gb (.5 time 4 times 20 ) of Java Objects in memory.
Native Integration with JPA
Java Data Grids have native integration with JPA frameworks like TopLink and Hibernate whereby the Data Grid can act as a second level cache between JPA and the database. This can give a large performance boost to your database driven application if latency associated with database access is a key performance bottleneck.

Miss Montague, nevertheless, devoted much of her time to a patient but fruitless attempt to cheer the unhappy invalid.
It was plain that Montague was preparing a retreat for himself.

The faults of Montague were great; but his punishment was cruel.
This place I named port Montague in honour of my noble patron.
These men must be associates of Montague—Montague Fallock, who else?

Modelización del costo de las empresas de inserción para la administración pública
This paper analyses a modern-day problem: the cost to government of jobs in social integration enterprises. At present there is a debate concerning their positive (subsidy-related) and negative aspects (regarding the savings they generate in social post-programmes and the revenue generated mainly by taxes and social security contributions). The study begins with an overview of social-integration enterprises, their possible development and the implication this has on the demand for public resources. In a second phase, the problem is analysed in greater detail and a possible approach is put forward based on a cost-profit analysis. The study then analyses previous research work and identifies the variables involved. Finally, a model enabling the cost analysis of the possible values of these variables is presented and hypothetical-predictive conclusions put forward.

The owner of a flooring shop has been fined for selling fireworks to a child.
Tony Copland of Brighton Road in Banstead, owner of All Floors Limited with branches in Purley Way, Croydon, and Oldfields Road, Sutton, has been fined £4,000 for selling fireworks to a 15-year-old and for breaking several rules relating to the storage of fireworks.
Trading standard officers from Sutton and Croydon visited the Sutton branch in November to take part in a test purchase operation. A 15-year-old volunteer was able to buy fireworks worth £20.
When Copland was asked about the purchase he claimed he did not know who the seller was. Officers also found fireworks stored in an unsafe way and in breach of the law.
Copland appeared in court on Tuesday to admit 16 charges - eight relating to him personally and eight relating to his business - and was fined a total of £4,100. All fireworks seized have been destroyed.
Councillor Richard Clifton, Sutton Council's lead member for trading standards, said: "Fireworks are extremely dangerous and it is up to sellers to challenge anyone who looks underage. It's worrying that in this case a 15-year-old was able to purchase fireworks without question.
"The safe storage of fireworks is priority for officers to protect both staff and customers from the risk of explosion and fire. Visits are made to all registered sellers during October and November to ensure correct and safe storage.
"This is a good example however, of boroughs working together to ensure trading standards are met.
"Our Trading Standards teams will always ensure that the law is abided by and that anyone who ignores the rules is prosecuted."

A teenager passed out and later died after downing an "extreme" amount of alcohol at a house party.
The adult homeowners were in the lounge as pals of Jamie Capon, 16, left the drunk youngster to sleep it off in the conservatory, an inquest into his death heard.
His panicking friends – who had been partying in a marquee outside – later alerted a parent in the house that Jamie was comatose and "snoring in the garden".
The owner Stephen Harrison, whose daughter Hannah threw the party to celebrate her birthday, told the hearing he did not give the youngsters any alcohol.
He said: "I didn't recognise Jamie. He turned up in a car about 9pm.
"One of his friends said he was sleeping in the garden and could I give a hand to move him. He said, 'He's drunk a bit too much and he's snoring in the garden'.
"I was determined to close everything down about midnight. I checked him once again before I went to bed. My wife, who is medically trained, stayed for about one and a half hours.
"He was still snoring and he was on his side. The next thing, my daughter came home from where she had been and there was a huge scream around the house. I got down and saw my wife and daughter giving CPR to Jamie."
Teenager Daniel Ransley said youngsters aged 15 and older had taken alcohol to the party in Aberdaron, North Wales, last August, but the hosts had not provided any.
He told the hearing: "He got quite drunk. He was taken to bed and left to sleep it off.
"His other friends took him to the conservatory and left him to rest there. I think he passed out there."
Tests showed Jamie's blood-alcohol content was five time the legal drink-drive limit.
Expert Dr Mark Lord said Jamie had suffered "acute alcohol poisoning", adding: "That concentration of alcohol is extreme. The direct concentration of alcohol would have killed him."
Coroner Dewi Prichard Jones said: "Jamie must have consumed an enormous amount of alcohol. He passed out and was asleep. He was put on a mattress in the house in the recovery position.
"It was the proper thing to do. Guests and Mrs Harrison carried out CPR. Jamie was taken to hospital and there he died.
"The verdict is that he died as a result of abuse of alcohol."
Jamie, of Llanaelhaearn, Pwllheli, was described by his parents as a "brilliant son", who was planning to study arts at college.

By Gary Levin, USA TODAY
It's not exactly Spy vs. Spy, but there's a family feud going on in Archer, an animated series due this fall that marks FX's first toon in 10 years.
The six-episode series centers on Sterling Archer, "a jerk of a spy" in the words of creator Adam Reed. He sold it as "James Bond meets Arrested Development," the cult Fox hit. And he even got Arrested's matriarch, Jessica Walter, to play Malory, Archer's overbearing mother and boss. "When she signed on, I was giddy," he says.
The spy world is mostly "a backdrop for the bickering," Reed says. "Any espionage is an excuse to get into the slightly larger-than-life situations than they would at an insurance agency."

New opportunity for TracPadPlugin
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Trac Release:
Dear all,
I'd like to rise again the TracPadPlugin idea of having a real-time collaborative environment embedded in Trac.
The Etherpad Foundation has just released a new lighter version of Etherpad based on node.js called Etherpad-Lite. Here it is the announcment post: http://etherpad.org/2011/08/22/major-release-etherpad-lite-v1/
Now, a very nice feature of etherpad-lite is that pads can be easily embedded in any web page (see at the bottom of the announcement post for an example).
We can exploit this feature to make the TracPadPlugin embed in Trac pads coming from a running instance of the etherpad-lite. For instance each ticket page (e.g.
/ticket/3) could have a pad embedded (e.g.
http://myetherpadlite.example.org/p/trac-3) to let deveopers to collaborate on that ticket.
- (seems to be) extremely easy to embed pads
- it would require just modification of the ui pages
- it needs an etherpad-lite running instance
- pads' data is not stored in the trac db but in the etherpad-lite backend
What do you think? Anyone interested in keep investigating in this direction? I know Trac just from the user point of view and I haven't never developed any plugin/macro, so honestly I even do not know whether what i'm saying is feasible or not
Regards, Gabriele Giammatteo

Absolutely, I've been keeping an eye on Etherpad-Lite for a little while now.
There are also Py bindings already.
In my view some sort of a workflow needs to be figured out how the collaboration happens, in what cases it is allowed, not allowed etc, and then a way to pipe results from pad editing back to trac db. I think all this is fully possible.
Find me on freenode (macmaN), Gabriele.

Cheers to New Year's: Three Reasons I'm Appreciative
As the clock struck midnight, I was mentally ticking off all the things that we achieved as a business throughout 2013. I felt really proud. But within a blink, I realized that more than being proud, I was appreciative. The teams behind our network security products are incredible. They are innovative. They care about our customers. They want to make a difference. My New Year's toast was to them.
What's exciting is that the industry is toasting them too. Throughout the year, many of our network security products have been honored by security experts, analysts, testing labs, and media. We ended a great year with three more reasons to feel appreciative.
1. McAfee Data Loss Prevention is Magic
Cheers to Gartner for positioning McAfee as a Leader in its Magic Quadrant for Content-Aware Data Loss Prevention, December 2013 for the fourth consecutive year. I'm appreciative of our product teams because I know how much effort and innovation goes into making these products outstanding. Then, when we receive what we feel is validation from the industry, it makes all the hard work and late nights seem worth it. Content-aware DLP technologies perform content inspection of data at rest or in motion. But, "…to be considered for the Gartner Magic Quadrant, products must support sophisticated detection techniques that extend beyond simple keyword matching and regular expressions and must be considered enterprise DLP solutions." We're kicking off the New Year with a feature-rich solid solution that just keeps leading the way.
2. Intrusion Prevention Systems is Great with Eight
Gartner again recognized our leadership strengths in 2013 by positioning McAfee as a Leader in its Magic Quadrant for Intrusion Prevention Systems, December 2013. For the eighth consecutive year, we were recognized in the Magic Quadrant for "Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute." During a year when we were heads down on the acquisition of Stonesoft and the integration of those products, our Network Security Platform product teams made sure that our stand-alone IPS solution still led the way.
3. The Network Security Platform is 'Right Up' There
Up and to the right is always on our minds at McAfee. This is where analysts like Gartner and NSS Labs position vendors who execute well against their current vision and are well positioned for tomorrow. I'm proud to say that McAfee ended the year on a high note with NSS Labs' strong review of McAfee's IPS NS-Series. Our NS9200 blocked 97.5% of attacks against server applications, 93.2% of attacks against client applications, and 95.1% overall. Our solution was effective against all evasion techniques tested, passed all stability and reliability tests, and was rated at 29,291 Mbps – even higher than the performance we claim.
We rounded out our year with three great reasons to toast to a New Year. If our momentum in 2013 continues into 2014, I cannot wait to see what I get to write about next. Cheers to you and your successes in 2014.
