What should I do if my TV will not turn on and the power indicator LED is not flashing?Follow these troubleshooting steps:
- Make sure your TV's power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet.
- Make sure the electrical outlet the TV is plugged into has power by testing known working device in that outlet.
- After verifying the TV is plugged into a working outlet, try pressing the [POWER] button on the TV instead of the TV remote.
What should I do if the front Power indicator LED light is blinking?1. Unplug the TV's power cord.
2. Unplug all cables.
3. Power the TV using a different power outlet (do not use a power strip or surge protector).
If the problem persists, please consider having the TV serviced. Click here for Panasonic Service Locator.
Note: Count how many times the LED light blinks. This can help a technician troubleshoot the problem.
What should I do if I can access all of the TV apps except Netflix?1. Change the DNS setting of your TV to 184.108.40.206.
2. If you are able to access the Netflix splash screen, use the TV remote to deactivate your account by pressing Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up. After this process, try loggin back into the Netflix TV app.
If the procedure is successful a screen will come up with the option to deactivate your device from your account. If not try the process again. Once you have successfully deactivated your device, you will need to activate it by opening Netflix and at the main screen selecting Member Sign In, then following the on screen prompts until activation is complete.
If the Netflix app still fails to open, but all of the other TV apps work, visit help.netflix.com for more support.
What should I do if I have bars displaying on the TV screen?Change the format (aspect ratio) of the picture by pressing the [FORMAT] or [ASPECT] button on the TV's remote control. If you still have bars, check the aspect settings on your external video source, such as Cable/Satellite box, DVD/Blu-ray Disc player, etc. Note: Some content, such as film-based movies, are available in extra-wide format. Top and bottom bars are unavoidable.

Your Views: Why let John Eyster throw final-hour election bomb at Mike Sheridan?
Candidates in local elections have been aware for months that Janesville Gazette editors were not going to write endorsements prior to Tuesday's primary election.
None of those candidates, however, could have predicted or prepared for the election-eve incendiary device The Gazette chose to lob Saturday into the 15th Senate District Democratic primary race.
John Eyster's last-minute, anybody-but-Sheridan blog was as journalistically unprofessional as anything The Gazette could have allowed on one of its platforms. The ooze of Mr. Eyster's unprincipled, unchecked diatribe has slithered over The Gazette's editorial department, calling into question the entire newspaper's election-cycle ethics.
It's one thing to repeatedly allow Mr. Eyster to put himself above acceptable usage of the English language by refusing to edit his constant misuse of grammar and inexplicable over-use of capital letters. Gazette editors Saturday allowed the platform to fall further into the gutter-realm of Internet trolls by sanctioning Mr. Eyster's use of crass and boorish double entendre.
Style points aside, The Gazette shamefully authorized a character assassination of a candidate just three days prior to the election. Endorsements by most reputable newspapers are based on candidate interviews with professional reporters or editors. Mr. Eyster admitted not knowing enough about the candidates to write a proper endorsement of Janis Ringhand or Austin Scieszinski. Still, Mr. Eyster was permitted some 500 words on The Gazette platform to tear down Mike Sheridan's candidacy based on questions Mr. Sheridan has answered with dignity, honesty and humility when asked by true journalism professionals.

GAINESVILLE, FL — Cleaning and air testing continue this week at the University of Florida''s Medical Science Building due to concerns about the presence of asbestos, according to The Gainseville Sun.
Last Thursday, the school closed the first floor of the Department of Ophthalmology Visual Science Lab and the ground floor''s morgue, autopsy suite and Department of Physiology labs, the article stated.
According to the article, those areas were closed because routine air tests conducted during low-risk asbestos removal showed that airborne asbestos levels were higher than federal guidelines allow.
Filters have been installed in all the affected areas of the Medical Science Building, and any employee who worked in those portions of the building was given administrative leave until the all clear is received, the article noted.

New Yankees slugger Jacoby Ellsbury has probably seen his name on the scoreboard at Yankees Stadium plenty of times playing for the archrival Boston Red Sox, but if he looked to the outfield during his at-bats in his first home game in pinstripes, he might've noticed something amiss.
When the recently-signed center fielder went to bat in the bottom of the sixth inning against the Orioles Monday, the scoreboard read "Jacoby Ellsubry," swapping the "B" and "U" in his last name, according to a photo from an observant fan at the game.
@darrenrovell Yankees spelled Jacoby Ellsbury's name wrong on the scoreboard in his 1st home game #LOL153Millionpic.twitter.com/4et3ehpwDQ
— Eddie (@EFQZ) April 7, 2014
The staff that manages the scoreboard isn't the first team to flub up Ellsbury's name. During last week's series against Boston, a Red Sox fan held up a sign proclaiming, "Jacoby Elsbury is a Trader."

MONTREAL -- Mats Sundin was a marked man.
The Maple Leafs captain, perhaps the only Toronto player to show up last night, was gooned by Craig Rivet of the Montreal Canadiens midway through the third period, sparking a series of fights, cheap shots and finger pointing the rest of the way.
After jostling with Sundin behind the Montreal net, Rivet broke his stick over Sundin, then yanked him to the ice. Sundin said Rivet's stick cracked him "in the arm" although TV replays suggested it hit him in the head.
During the ensuing scrum, Sheldon Souray appeared to punch a fallen Ben Ondrus from behind. Souray was not penalized on the play.
Leafs general manager John Ferguson did not see the Souray play but suggested the league will review all the incidents.
Watching Rivet go after their captain raised the ire of the Leafs.
"Frustration is one thing," Tie Domi said. "Breaking a stick over the captain's head is another. Everyone responded."
Domi went after Rivet minutes later, then fought Aaron Downey.
The coup de grace came with just 2:05 remaining when Darcy Tucker barely avoided Alexei Kovalev with an elbow. Kovalev responded with one of his own that nailed the Leafs player.
"He tried to hit me and missed but I didn't miss him," Kovalev said. "I was lucky I saw him at the last second."
Asked about possibly being suspended, Kovalev replied, "I don't care."
It's unlikely Tucker will be punished by the NHL, although Colin Campbell has plenty of video to review from this one.
"I hold no-ill will (toward Kovalev)," Tucker said.
Ferguson did not make the same claim.
"(Kovalev) knew what he was doing," Ferguson said. "He threw a major-league elbow right at (Tucker's) head."

OverviewSugarloaf Mountain is located in the San Bernardino Mountains. It is about 7 miles southeast of Big Bear Lake, CA. While there are higher peaks in the nearby San Gorgonio wilderness, it is a prominent peak in the area standing 9952 feet tall (3032m). While the summit is sort of anticlimatic, the views along the upper parts of the trail are outstanding. Looking south, you get a great view of southern california's highest peak (San Gorgonio - 11499') and all its nearby 10k peaks. To the north (-west), you can see as far as the eye can reach. On a clear day, I believe you can even see the snowcapped (in winter at least) Sierra!
Sugarloaf Mountain was first climbed by Weldon Heald in 1938 and the peak was named after its resemblence (whatever that means).
Getting ThereThere are various ways to climb this peak. The directions mentioned below can be used for both a summer and winter ascent. In summer, there are shorter approaches.
From Big Bear Lake, drive east on hwy 18, eventually taking hwy 38 (south). At approximately 9 miles from Big Bear Lake, turn right on Hatchery Drive (2N93). If you are coming from the 'other' side, Hatchery Drive is located about 26mi from Angelus Oaks (turn left on 2N93).
In winter you will have to park at the gate and walk 1.25mi to the trailhead. When the gate is open, you can drive this part; the road is easily passable for regular passenger vehicles.
Red TapeUnless you need a Forest Adventure Pass to park on the dirt road (?), I don't think any passes/permits are required (somebody correct me if I'm wrong).
Edit: no passes or permits are required (see additions/corrections by tarol)
When to climbThe mountain can be climbed year round. In winter, snow shoes and crampons/ice axe may be required. Chain restrictions are sometimes in effect on hwy 18/38 after recent snowfall.

Home » Reports & Data » Progress » Transforming Lives » Villagers Repair Key Irrigation System
USAID's SIKA - EAST
Four villages have joined together to rebuild a traditional network that provided water to the area for centuries
Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting, may seem an unlikely time of year to undertake major public works in Afghanistan. Many Afghans go from dawn to dusk without any food or drink, or so much as a sip of water. But in Arab Kheil village in Maydan Wardak province, 30 men from four villages gather day after day for a crucial repair job.
They are working on the ancient karez or network of traditional tunnels that are meant to transport underground water into canals. From ancient times, the karez efficiently irrigated fields and provided drinking water. But those in and around Arab Kheil have fallen into disrepair, resulting in a water shortage and many bitter fights among the villages.
Crops withered in the fields and young men started to leave because farming was no longer viable. Many joined the insurgents because they offered money to new recruits.
That was when the elders from four villages formed a shura to formulate the way forward. Rebuilding the karez was identified as a priority. With support from the Afghan Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development and USAID's Stabilization In Key Areas (SIKA-East) program, the villagers stared to repair the karez.
First, the elders chose the community workers, carefully picking one from each of the poorest families and an equal number from each participating village. The karez is expected to be repaired before the autumn rains.
Times were hard but now, says an elder, there is a chance that life will get better.
"Once the canals are clean, our women won't have to go far from home each day to fetch water," he said.
"It is about health and about our children," added another.

The National Weather Service had been saying for days that the temperature would hit 95 Friday at San Diego's Lindbergh Field. The temperature reached 82, which is still 14 degrees above normal. But the forecast was way off, and the reason is simple: the weather service over-estimated the strength of the Santa Ana winds. Forecasters thought the winds would push warm, dry air all the way to the coast. But the warmest air didn't travel west of the Miramar area. The Santa Anas faded away, and the sea breeze returned, pushing the marine layer back in.
The marine layer will thicken overnight, producing thick fog in some coastal areas. The fog will burn off on Saturday and coastal temperatures could hit 70. But the region is cooling fast. A low pressure system will arrive on Sunday and could produce light rain. Thunderstorms also are possible. The cool, moist weather will last at least through Tuesday. Sunday's high will only reach 65.
Friday's high temps: San Pasqual Valley, 95; Fallbrook, 95; Poway, 95; Santee, 94; Rancho San Diego, 94; Miramar, 93; Montgomery Field, 93; Alpine, 93; El Cajon, 92; Ramona Airport, 91; La Mesa, 91; Rancho Bernardo, 90; National City, 88; San Marcos, 88; Encinitas, 87; Campo, 87; Chula Vista, 86; Oceanside Airport, 85; Imperial Beach, 84; Del Mar, 81; Julian, 78; Palomar Mountain, 75; Mt Laguna, 68;

Research on Violence Against Children: Building Evidence for Action
25-27 June 2013, Bangkok
Over the last 20 years, the situation for children in the region has improved in many ways. More children are born healthier and survive to their fifth birthday. Children have greater access to education, safe water and basic sanitation. But tangible gains in child protection have not kept pace and rates of violence against children remain disturbingly high. A 2012 UNICEF systematic review of research on child maltreatment in the region found high rates of various forms of child abuse, neglect, violence and exploitation across East Asia and the Pacific. For example, the review found that between 14% and 30% of the region's boys and girls report have experienced forced sex, and for many young people their first experiences of sexual intercourse was forced.
There is a critical lack of clear data on not only the nature and extent of violence against children across East Asia and the Pacific, but also the effectiveness of interventions for preventing and mitigating the negative consequences of such violence. The lack of data available has led to poorly planned and implemented policies and programmes, and a scattershot approach to combatting violence against children. However, governments are increasingly recognizing the need for a detailed breakdown on where children are being abused in their countries, the perpetrators of such abuse, the types of violence children are suffering, and whether or not services being provided are indeed working in order to better provide information and social welfare services to reach children and families in need.
To help achieve this, UNICEF EAPRO organized a meeting in Bangkok during 25-27 June 2013, titled 'Research on Violence against Children: Building the Evidence for Action'. Participants comprised over 85 representatives from government, UN agencies, NGOs and academia from 13 countries across East Asia and the Pacific. Meeting participants discussed various methodologies for conducting high quality research on violence against children; identify evidence for informing effective policies and programmes; and strengthen opportunities for collaboration on and support for research.
On this page you will find publications relating to research on violence against children as well as the meeting documents for 'Research on Violence against Children: Building the Evidence for Action'.

Romney's wife cheers on her thoroughbred
Ann Romney is delighted at her horse's progress
While her husband, Mitt, continued on the presidential campaign trail, laying out his latest proposals to help the lives of ordinary Americans, Ann Romney was in London yesterday, celebrating the Olympic debut of her dressage horse, Rafalca.
Rivals of the mega-wealthy Mormon, who has repeatedly criticised President Obama for being out of touch, have made much of his family's interest in a sport that requires a horse, costing at least six-figures, to get to the top.
Mrs Romney could not hide her delight, however, when her mocha-coated mare put in a solid performance at Greenwich yesterday afternoon, leaping to her feet to give rider, Jan Ebeling a standing ovation.
"I'm thrilled to death," she said.
She told The Times: "I'm very pleased. She looked so…

Asked what his favorite Girl Scout cookie was, the president responded, "The mint ones."
No wonder the crowd booed. Well, booed a little. There appeared to be a Samoa fan in the balcony. The crowd mainly seemed interested in conveying to him that the name of the cookies in question was "Thin Mints."
You can't just say, "the mint ones."
That cookie has a name. That cookie has a proud history.
I may forget a name. I may forget a face. But I never forget a cookie.
And judging by the noise they made, neither does the crowd. After all, this is America. We may not know the names of the Founding Fathers, what happened at Appomattox, or most forms of basic math, but, dang it, we are experts when it comes to Girl Scout cookies. They bring us closer as a nation, if only because we are wider after consuming them than before.
"When was the Revolutionary War?" we ask.
"Uh. 1750something, I think. 3? 1753? Yeah, something like that."
"What's your favorite Girl Scout cookie?"
"The mint ones--"
"THAT'S NOT THE RIGHT NAME OF THE COOKIE!" the crowd rumbled, in unison. "WE MUST SUPPLY THE CORRECT NAME OF THE COOKIE! SOMEONE HAS JUST SAID SOMETHING IMPRECISE ABOUT A COOKIE AND WE MUST CORRECT HIM! COOKIE COOKIE COOKIE OM NOM NOM!"
I am exaggerating slightly, but you get the idea.
There is a little Cookie Monster inside all of us. It can be dangerous when unleashed.

SEGA Sports NHL 2K3" uses an advanced physics-based gameplay system and unprecedented Artificial Intelligence (AI) to more accurately simulate the NHL. Unlike other hockey games that are based on percentages, the goalies, players and the puck in "SEGA Sports NHL 2K3" are all governed by the game's sophisticated physics engine, allowing for more realistic shooting, checking, skating and goaltending. Melding flawlessly with the game's physics is an adaptive AI system that allows each player to react to hundreds of unique on-ice situations. When setting up for a save, goalies will dynamically react to the puck and positioning of the opposing forwards, while AI teams will execute realistic power-plays, forechecks, perform odd-man breaks and line changes. While other hockey games feature goalies without specific player attributes, who attempt saves with limited movements, "SEGA Sports NHL 2K3" shows goalies playing the position as it is meant to be played. In "NHL 2K3," the new Reactive Goalie Positioning lets goalies move side-to-side, and from dive to save, without ever having to return to a center or idle position, allowing them to make save upon save with the most realistic maneuvers of any hockey video game.
With the release of some pretty stellar sports titles recently, this has been an especially great year for hockey gamers. Both EA Sports (NHL 2003) and Midway (NHL Hitz 20-03) have presented their own brand of awesome NHL action and thankfully Sega Sports has stepped up with its own offering. If you think a hockey game just can't get any better, think again sports fans. NHL 2K3 has come to the PS2 and it comes on stronger than ever. Sports gamers everywhere are thanking their lucky stars that Sega's much loved sports franchise decided to branch off to other consoles such as the PS2. Its NHL series is arguably on of the best hockey licenses produced and with each year the game just keeps on getting better. For starters,... Read Review

Many of us look forward to summer for the opportunities to get outdoors. Too much outdoors can hurt in certain situations. Aside from stormy weather and lightning, summer weather hazards are too much ultra violet radiation from the sun, too much heat and humidity, and poor air quality.
If you don't spend a lot of time outdoors then your body is not acclimated to high heat and humidity. You need to be extra careful. People taking prescription drugs, tranquilizers and diuretics have an increased risk of heat-related illness. In extreme heat situations everyone needs to remember basic safety. The Mobile County Health Department says too much heat can lead to sunstroke, heat cramps, or heat exhaustion. Heatstroke is possible with prolonged exposure and/or physical activity. The elderly are more at risk for heat-related problems. MCHD has these tips for you…
Preventing heat-related injuries
Drink more fluids regardless of your activity level. Do not wait until you?re thirsty to drink. Warning: If your doctor generally limits the amount of fluid you drink or has you on water pills, ask how much you should drink while the weather is hot.
Do not drink liquids that contain caffeine, alcohol, or large amounts of sugar. They actually cause you to lose more body fluid. Also, avoid very cold drinks because they can cause stomach cramps.
Stay indoors and, if at all possible, stay in an air-conditioned place. If your home does not have air conditioning, go to a shopping mall or public library. Even a few hours spent in air conditioning can help your body stay cooler when you go back into the heat.
Electric fans may provide comfort; but when the temperature is in the high 90s, fans will not prevent heat-related illness. Take a cool shower or bath. Moving to an air-conditioned place is a much better way to cool off.
Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing.
Never leave children (or anyone else) or pets in a closed, parked vehicle. Beat the heat, check the back seat.
Visit adults at risk at least twice a day and closely watch them for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Infants and young children need more frequent watching.
If you must be out in the heat
Limit your outdoor activity to morning and evening hours.
Cut down on exercise. If you must exercise, drink two to four glasses of cool, nonalcoholic fluids each
hour. A sports beverage can replace the salt and minerals you lose in sweat. Warning: If you are on a low-salt diet, talk with your doctor before drinking a sports beverage.
Try to rest often in shady areas.
Protect yourself from the sun by wearing sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat. Also, put sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher (the most effective products say broad spectrum or UVA/UVB protection on their labels).
The heat index (sometimes called the apparent temperature, or "feels like" temperature) is a measure of the contribution that high temperature and high humidity (expressed either as relative humidity (RH) or dew point temperature) make in reducing the body's ability to cool itself. The table below estimates the heat index. The heat index (HI) is a measure of how hot it really feels when the affects of humidity are added to high temperature. Note: Exposure to full sunshine can increase HI values by up to 15 degrees F
Heat Index between 90 and 104– sunstroke, heat cramps or heat exhaustion are possible with prolonged exposure and physical activity
Heat Index between 105 and 129– sunstroke, heat cramps, or heat exhaustion is likely and heatstroke is possible
Heat Index of 130 or higher– heatstroke or sunstroke occur quickly
Check out the National Weather Service Heat Wave website for a lot more information on summer heat safety. Calculate the Heat Index using either dew point or relative humidity. Heat affects all living creatures. NOAA has much more information on heat. Find more safety rules from theAlabama Department of Health and from the campaign for Water, Rest and Shade.
Too much sun is dangerous. Summertime is when the sun is highest in the sky and the rays are most direct. This means that there is less filtering by the earth's thin atmosphere. You must take precautions against the sun's ultra-violet (UV) radiation.
UV radiation is a normal component of the sun's energy that in large quantities causes sunburns, and may eventually lead to premature wrinkling, skin cancer, or cataracts. Simple measures reduce risk. Here are some basics:
If your shadow is shorter than you are tall, UV levels will be high.
UV radiation is most intense between 10am and 3pm. Limit your exposure to direct sun during these hours.
Don't lay in the sun. When out for extended periods, wear a hat, along with light-colored, lightweight clothes that cover your arms, legs and the rest of your skin. Use sunglasses with UV protection and apply a sunblock.
Children need extra protection since their bodies are still developing and too much sun can be much more dangerous than to adults.
Lighter skin is more affected by UV radiation but all skin types require some type of protection.
UV radiation penetrates clouds and water so even on a cloudy day or while swimming, take precautions.
Shiny, smooth, or bright surfaces such as cement or sand can reflect UV radiation.
Cooler temperatures do not lower UV values. Skiers commonly are sunburned when they underestimate the sun's UV radiation reflected by snow.
As the UV index gets higher, use a sunscreen with a higher SPF (Sun Protection Factor) and spend less time in the sun.
If you notice blotches or other permanent changes to your skin, see your doctor.
0 – 2 Low. Color=green
3 – 5 Moderate. Color=yellow
6 – 7 High. Color=orange
8 – 10 Very High. Color=red
11+ Extreme. Color=violet
The EPA has a Sunwise Program which is great for educators and students who want to learn more.
Another summer hazard can be ground-level ozone.
Ozone is a form of oxygen that can be good or bad for people depending upon where it is.
Good ozone is found in the stratosphere, about 20 to 50 miles above the ground. It is a natural part of the Earth's outer shell that blocks harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun so it's important that we have it above us. In the last decade, scientists have discovered that ozone levels in the stratosphere have dipped annually to extremely low levels before recovering. It's believed that this "ozone hole" is due to various pollutants, that humans have produced, interacting with the normal formation of Ozone.
Pollution near the ground can, on the other hand, lead to ozone production and that ozone becomes pollution. Ground-level ozone is formed on sunny days with calm wind when pollutants chemically combine with oxygen. Higher ozone levels are more common in our summer but it's not because of the heat, it's more related to the amount and intensity of sun. When ozone is found at ground level it is dangerous because our bodies cannot use it and it irritates the lungs. It causes breathing problems for people with asthma and other lung conditions. The Environmental Protection Agency uses a color coded scale to let you know what the overall air quality is. Find ozone forecasts for other cities in the United States.
You may notice more ozone alerts than in the past. Part of the reason for that is deteriorating air quality but another part of that is better ozone measurement and the fact that some of the thresholds for the ozone levels were lowered slightly at the start of 2008.
Air Quality Index
0 – 50 Good. Color=Green. No problems.
51 – 100 Moderate. Color=Yellow. If you are unusually sensitive to air quality, consider limiting time outside.
101 – 150 Unhealthy for some. Color=Orange. Active kids and adults, especially those with breathing difficulties should limit strenuous activity outside.
151 – 200 Unhealthy. Color=Red. Everyone should limit strenuous activity outside, especially people with breathing difficulty.
Over 200 Very Unhealthy. Color=Purple. Everyone should limit strenuous activity outside. People with respiratory difficulties should stay inside.
You can help prevent pollution that creates ozone by…
Conserving electricity
Limiting your driving
Using public transportation or carpooling
Avoid using gasoline-powered lawn equipment
Refueling your vehicle only after 6pm
Minimize use of household, workshop, and garden chemicals
The Environmental Protection Agency collects a lot of information on Ozone Depletion in the upper atmosphere while you can get daily ozone readings at ground level from ADEM, Alabama Department of Environmental Management. Check NOAA's role in air quality monitoring.

Analyst: Tony Romo 'solid' but may not be able to win Super Bowl
Former NFL quarterback Jim Miller joined SiriusXM's NFL radio on Friday and was put through a little excercise. For every team he had to say whether or not it had a quarterback capable of winning a Super Bowl at some point.
He gave 19 teams a 'Yes' including the Seahawks (Russell Wilson), Rams (Sam Bradford), Cardinals (Carson Palmer), Chargers (Phillip Rivers), Redskins (Robert Griffin III) and Bengals (Andy Dalton). The Cowboys and Tony Romo were not one of those teams.
Miller gave Romo a 'solid', along with the Chiefs (Alex Smith) and the Texans (Matt Schaub).

Linux privacy
In Windows, records of everything you do are kept, deleting history or even using "Evidence Eliminator" doesnt delete your history of everything you do. Any guy with the right software can see your history.
Not that I care I have nothing to hide, but it's none of anyone's business too. Since Linux is open source, doesnt that mean theres less chance of the programmers making the OS spy on you and make records?
How much of your computer activity is recorded in Linux?
look in /var/log, there are a lot of data about the PC-use, dunno if that's all .
What kind of stuff does it contain?
guess you have no Linux running, so , install one just to try. :)

Value investors are an irascible bunch. We ply our trade away from the hubbub of Wall Street's fast money and bright lights. What gets us excited is finding salient nuggets of information few others recognize, and utilizing the information to capture market inefficiencies. Ah, the elusive "buying a dollar for 50 cents!"
Whenever I meet fellow value investors, our conversation inevitably turns to investing style. Some prefer credit, others equity. Some U.S., others international. Some focus on a near-term catalyst while others are content with an attractive valuation. The conversation usually turns to shorting at one point: "Do you short?"
The answers vary: 1) "No, my fund doesn't have the mandate." 2) "No, I buy cheap assets. Shorting is challenging." 3) "Yea, we short. It's a tough game but we think we can add value." When the response is the latter, the answer tends to be a touch sheepish. Why?
Why do value investors stigmatize short selling? Is value investing not simply arguing that the market's valuation of a company is incorrect for various reasons? Why should investors focus only on long investments?
Ben Graham, widely regarded as the father of value investing, shorted overvalued firms, as well as engaged in what we now call event-driven investing (including spinoffs, merger arbitrage, securities conversions, etc.). So if the father of our methodology sold securities short, why do many avoid shorting in their pursuit of market-beating investment performance?
Here are my top 10 reasons value investors avoid shorting:
1. Legal restrictions: A large majority of assets are managed in "plain vanilla" mutual funds which do not permit managers to short securities.
2. Warren Buffett doesn't short: While superficial, do not underestimate this one. Many value investors liberally quote Buffett and consider his opinions to be fact. (Author's note: In fact, this topic will make a good blog post during the next week, so stay tuned.)
3. Misaligned incentives: Company management, Wall Street investment bankers and long-only investors all make more money when security prices rise and thus have solid incentives to
manipulate "encourage" higher share prices by focusing on a company's positive attributes.
4. Markets tend to increase over time: The S&P 500 has returned approximately 9% annually for 100 years. A short valuation call has to be accurate both with respect to valuation and timing.
5. "Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent": This iconic John Maynard Keyes quotation definitely applies to shorting. Many investors have been taken to the woodshed shorting companies that were trading on clicks, projected growth or other non-traditional metrics (such as free cash flow).
6. Borrowing shares can be expensive: To borrow shares a short-seller must pay any dividends issued by the company, as well as interest to their broker. For popular shorts, interest rates can be usury (40% to 60% or more per year). Again, this forces a short-seller to be correct within a certain time frame, for the position to pay off.
7. Shorting = "Trading": To some value investors, "trading" is the intellectual equivalent of two-buck chuck to a wine enthusiast. Most short-sellers have a limited time frame due to the aforementioned cost of shorting which necessitates more frequent portfolio changes.
8. Shorts can only make 100%: A solid long investment can make way more than 100%. The effort spent finding and researching an investment that can make over 100% is more efficient than one in which the company literally has to file for bankruptcy for a short-seller to make 100%.
9. Short position size increases with price: When a long investment declines in price, the position becomes an ever-decreasing part of the portfolio. As painful as this can be, the math automatically minimizes the position loss. When a short increases in price, the position grows as a percentage of a portfolio – adding insult to injury!
10. Shares can be "called in" at an inopportune time: In September 2008, the SEC expressed disallowed shorting of nearly 800 financial firms. The U.S. forced hundreds of funds and individuals to close their short positions right before financial firm share prices tanked. This is the United States! Not a third-world country! While an extreme example, even in a normal environment shares can be called in by a broker for various reasons – forcing the short-seller to close the position against his will.
Value investors are an irascible bunch. We ply our trade away from the hubbub of Wall Street's fast money and bright lights. What gets us excited is finding salient nuggets of information few others recognize, and utilizing the information to capture market inefficiencies. Ah, the elusive "buying a dollar for 50 cents!"

Points needed for next level: 198 Level
a few jokes just to pass the time.
She removes all her clothing and asks, "Is there someone on this plane who is man enough to make me feel like a woman?"
A man stands up, removes his shirt and says, "Here, iron this!".
He proceeds to take off his trousers and throw them at her. He says, "Put those on."
The bride replies, "I can't wear your trousers."
He replies, "And don't forget that! I will always wear the pants in the family!"
The bride takes off her knickers and throws them at him with the same request, "Try those on!"
He replies,"I can't get into your knickers!"
"And you never bloody will if you don't change your attitude."
They both moan like hell when they come, and take the house when they leave.
He tells her to take her pants, she does, and he starts rubbing her thighs.
"Do you know what I am doing?" asks the doctor?
"Yes, checking for abnormalities." she replies.
He tells her to take off her shirt and bra, she takes them off. The doctor begins rubbing her breasts and asks, "Do you know what I am doing now?", she replies, "Yes, checking for cancer."
Finally, he tells her to take off her panties, lays her on the table, gets on top of her and starts having sex with her. He says to her, "Do you know what I am doing now?"
She replies, "Yes, getting herpies – thats why I am here!"
She smiles and he takes her picture, and then he heads into the bathroom to shower. He comes out wearing his robe and the new wife asks, "Why do you wear a robe? We are married now." At that the man opens his robe and she exclaims, "oh, OH, OH MY, let me get a picture". He beams and asks why and she answers, "So I can get it enlarged!"

For a year now, Obama advisers have believed that Mitt Romney's pedigree, business background, lower tax rates, offshore accounts and silver-foot-in-mouth tendencies present exactly the wrong profile to run up the vote totals he needs among blue collar whites to win the presidency, potentially enabling Obama to survive a terrible economy. Back when Romney was still locked in a battle with Rick Perry, Obama advisers were telling people about their plans to paint Romney as a corporate predator who prioritizes profits over jobs and communities, is out of touch with what ordinary folks are going through, thinks keeping taxes low on the rich is the answer to everyone's problems, and keeps his own rates low via murky international financial dealings.
What's remarkable is how closely Romney himself has voluntarily hewed to the script produced for him.
On Friday, Romney released his 2011 tax returns, but only revealed an average rate paid from 1990-2009. Even some Republican strategists are questioning this move, as well as his broader refusal not to come clean earlier, claiming it allows Dems to continue raising questions about Romney's offshore accounts and about what he may be hiding about his own low rate. Romney's dismissive comments about the freeloading 47 percent were perfectly tailored to the narrative the Obama camp has been spinning. And now the Obama campaign is out with a brutal new ad in Ohio, which has a big population of blue collar whites, weaving those strands together:
* Romney's struggles among blue collar whites: If you want to understand what the above ad is all about, read Tom Edsall's piece on Romney's difficulties with those voters. Edsall references last week's Public Religion Research Institute study of these voters, which shows Romney winning among them by a sizable margin, but he makes the excellent point that this is because his margin among them in the south is huge; elsewhere, blue collar whites are much more divided:
Romney's relatively poor showing among working class whites outside the South supports the argument that the Republican nominee is having a hard time connecting with some of the voters he needs to win. His problems reinforce the privately voiced fears of Republican operatives, as well as the openly voiced criticisms of the Romney campaign by primary opponents like Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry and Rick Santorum.
The hope harbored by Republican political professionals — that Obama was sufficiently unpopular among non-college whites to make up for Romney's shortcomings — has failed to take concrete form. The trouble Romney finds himself in today also suggests that the barrage of early advertising by the Obama campaign and allied groups attacking Bain Capital has proven to be a successful tactic, at least so far.
As I noted here last week, that study shows that these voters will probably be receptive to some Romney arguments about dependency, but there's also a strong strain of economic populism and skepticism about unfettered capitalism that could make it tough for Romney to produce the numbers among them he needs.
Romney may still win this race, which is a reminder of how challenging the economy is for Obama. But if Romney loses, it will be remarkable how closely he hewed to type, as the Obama team envisioned it from the outset. Indeed, even some right-leaning writers foresaw it. As Matt Lewis asked back in January, "Gordon Gekko image to replace the Republican elephant?"
* Romney's pitch to blue collar whites: The new ad from the Romney camp again blasts Obama for not standing up to China. This again confirms how central winning over those voters is to his chances.
* All eyes on Ohio: Caitlin Huey-Burns on the state of play in Ohio, where Romney's claims that the Obama economy is a disaster are getting complicated a bit by John Kasich's repeated assertion that things are getting, well, better. A new poll puts Obama up five there, and as Christian Heinze notes, the numbers show that Romney's "are you better off" frame is not translating into an advantage for him. Obama leads by 4.1 in the Real Clear Politics average.
* More national polls show Romney losing: Jamelle Bouie rounds up new polls from Politico and Zogby, and concludes:
He consistently trails Obama, hasn't held a lead in national polls, and is nearly five points way from the 50-percent mark in most polling averages. His support is collapsing among core demographics like older voters, and he has lost his advantage on the economy.
* Obama holds advantage on Medicare: A new Gallup poll finds that Obama holds a sizable edge in a dozen swing states on who is more trusted to address Medicare, 50-44. Obama's advantage is significant, given Romney's massive investment in the claim he is looting Medicare to pay for Obamacare. The poll was taken before Paul Ryan was booed before the AARP.
* Romney's edge among older voters has evaporated: A new Reuters poll finds that not only is Obama gaining the advantage on Medicare, but Romney's advantage among seniors has dropped from 20 points to just four in the period after the Dem convention.
The convention featured Bill Clinton offering a very effective rebuttal to the Romney charge that Obama looted Medicare to pay for Obamacare. Winning big among seniors is crucial to Romney's hopes.
* Why Romney's theory of the race may be flawed: Joseph Cera gives us the political science that explains why Romney's question — are you better off — is not the one that voters are asking themselves as they choose their next president. Many seem unwilling to acknowledge this possibility, but it may be that voters are not seeing the economy in the simplistic terms they were supposed to.
Relatedly, a good point from Jonathan Bernstein: If Romney has based his candidacy on a misjudgment of how swing voters perceive the economy and the Obama presidency, blame the conservative closed information feedback loop, which encourages politicians to imagine that undecideds view reality in the same terms as the GOP base does.
* But Romney's team is sticking with it: Mark Halperin:
The unrattled strategists in Boston continue to profess a belief that, in the end, the conditions of the last four years, and the pubic sentiment that the President would continue to govern as a liberal, are enough to cause a surge on Election Day that is not being fully picked up in the polling.
But, again, the vast majority of the recent polling shows that voter thinking on the economy just may not be following Romney's script.
* And the markets don't agree with Romney: Romney has claimed the markets will be happy if he wins, and unhappy if Obama does. But as Paul Krugman notes, even as the conventional wisdom has become that Obama is likely to win, the markets have gone up . As Krugman notes, we're now at the point where Romney himself is supposed to be the "confidence fairy."
What else?

Prime Time/Laundry was a full day's job
Monday was wash day. The clothes of Mom and Dad and five boys must have been quite a few loads, and washing was no easier than Saturday bath night that I wrote about a few months ago.
The washer and rinse tub/ringer were down in the basement. There was no clothes chute, so they had to be carried down 15 steps into the basement. Originally the water from the cistern had to be pumped into kettles and heated on the stove in the kitchen. Somewhere along the line we got a hot water heater and water softener in the latter part of the 1940s. The hot water was then carried in buckets down to the washer and soap was added.
The washer had an electric motor, but the wringer did not. When the wash had gone on for 20 minutes, the wringer was backed up to the washer. The wringer had a tub like the washer with clean water in it. The wringer had two metal rollers with rubber covering them. Each piece of clothing had to be lifted out of the washer and run through the wringer. The wash water then drained back into the washer.
Thank goodness the wringer had a release lever. One time I was helping Mom, and my fingers got caught in the rollers and were being drawn into it. Mom's reaction was quick. She hit the release before my fingers were hurt. After the clothes were rinsed, they had to be wrung again, this time into basket made out of thin pieces of wood. There was no such thing as plastic back then. The basket filled with clothes was carried upstairs and outside to the clothesline where they were hung on metal wires which ran between wood posts with a four-foot 2-x-4 T on top. There were four lines on which to hang the clothes.
In the winter, we hung the clothes outside where they froze. Then we brought them into the back porch where they hung some more. Then they were hung in a back room where the final drying took place.
After that they all had to be ironed. There was no such thing as wash-and-wear in those days. The sheets, hankies and the clothes were all ironed, then folded and put away. I remember about 1950 when we bought a mangle, which was a three-foot wide metal tube with cotton and cloth wrapped around it. Mom could put the sheets and clothes through it and probably cut the ironing time in half. We boys also wanted to learn how to mangle. Mom taught us, and I am sure she enjoyed the help.
Washing the clothes was an all-day affair. I remember a nursery rhyme which mentions what each day of the week and the responsibilities for each of the days are. Monday was washing day, and that meant the entire day. Young mothers are able to have jobs outside of the home because the ease of so many duties around the house. I am sure they appreciate the convenience, and maybe this note will help them to appreciate it all the more.

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- What's your reaction when you see someone holding a sign that says, "I'm Homeless and Hungry, Please Help?"
Many probably walk or drive past without a second thought. Friday, on the Good Morning Show, Ashley Benton, the founder of the Green Team Ministry gave us a reason to care.
"I know it has to feel dehumanizing when people just walk past you. It's like being invisible," said Benton. "I don't want them to be judged."
When others tend to walk away from the homeless, Benton gives them a reason to smile.
"When they see us get out of the car their looks just change to a look of relief, I love you, I'm so glad to see you and that just keeps me motivated to keep coming back," said Benton.
The Green Team Ministry visits and feeds those in need once a week, which is often the only consistent meal they can count on.
"They have no where to go to use the bathroom, to take a bath or to even get a drink of water. Sometimes its sweltering hot outside," said Benton. "It can be so cold and there's no where to go."
Benton and her crew of Green Team Ministry volunteers will be feeding 250 homeless and hungry people in our community on Sunday, July 20, 2014.
They have enough food and enough money for this event. What they need is your time and your donations to keep this going for weeks, months and years to come.
You can meet them at Center City Park in Downtown Greensboro at 12:30 p.m. Sunday to help out.
For more information about the group's service efforts, visit the Green Team Ministry online at www.greenteamministry.com.

Airbus to deliver six A340-500 to Emirates in 2003
Airbus Industrie will begin delivering its A340-500 aircraft to Emirates Airlines next year following certification by the European Joint Aviation Authorities for the ultra-long-range airplane. Emirates signed a deal with Airbus for six A340-500's in 1998 and options on a further 10 in a deal worth $2.4 billion.
The A340-500 has the performance to fly non-stop to the US. East and West coasts. Emirates' A340-500 will be powered by four Rolls-Royce Trent 553 engines and will seat around 280 passengers in a first, business and economy layout.
The Emirates network covers 45 countries on four continents. The network will be further expanded next year when the airline starts services to Lagos, Moscow and Shanghai. — (menareport.com)

The black community couldn't come up with a consensus candidate for mayor. But the Greeks have.
This morning, former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas endorsed Gery Chico at Orozco Elementary School on 18th Street.
"Nobody is better equipped to lead this city to new heights than Gery Chico," Vallas said. "Gery's resume is built for the job of mayor. From ushering in urban school reform for our children to improving the safety of our citizens, Gery is a guy who gets things done."
After starting the day in Pilsen, Vallas and Chico will be headed to lunch at Athena Restaurant, where they'll be meeting with Greektown business leaders.
That covers most of Chico's ethnicity. Chico is one-quarter Greek, on his mother's side. And he's been tight with Vallas for years. When the state legislature gave Mayor Daley control of the public schools, the mayor appointed Vallas as CEO and Chico as president. Vallas's brother, Dean Vallas, is Chico's campaign manager.
Vallas's endorsement helps Chico in a number of ways.
First, it reminds voters of the role he played in reforming the public schools. Second, Vallas is well regarded by liberal voters. In the 2002 primary for governor, Vallas swept the lakefront wards, which are Rahm Emanuel country right now.
Finally, by emphasizing Chico's Greek background, and helping him connect to white liberals, Vallas helps Chico escape from the box of being a Latino candidate. Chico's multi-cultural background gives him the opportunity to put together a magic coalition of minorities and white liberals, just as Barack Obama and Toni Preckwinkle did.
Chico and Vallas will be hanging out together all day. Tonight at 7 p.m., they're "visiting with friends" at Butch McGuire's, 20 W. Division St. It's on Chico's public schedule, so evidently, we're all invited.

Portable copy SDXC to SDXC
With new memory cards with huge capacity, I have purchased two 64GB SDXC cards to support my Olympus OM-D M-5. My thought was that I would like to backup my first card to my second card every night while traveling. In this way I store my backup card separate from my primary card. Wtih 64GB, it's highly unlikely that I will use my entire card on a two week trip. The second card provides a perfect backup solution. However, I don't want to drag along a laptop.
Does anyone have experience with a portable card-to-card copier that serves as a very lightweight backup solution?
I actually saw a Panasonic card copier released in 2005 but it apparently did not catch on. I can find very high-end duplicators (not portable) but I'm searching for a simple backup solution.

A COUNCILLOR has dropped a clanger during a media conference with Transport Minister Scott Emerson on the progress of a $200 million train station upgrade.
Instead of singing the praises of the overpass and soon to be completed pedestrian bridge, Cr Fiona King said motorists were confused by the changes and getting lost.
The overpass was meant to improve traffic flows and safety at Geebung station where three people have lost their lives since 1992.
But a lack of signage has created some confusion, with motorists struggling to figure out how to cross the train tracks.
"There are still people getting lost so some extra signage has been put up but I think people's GPS (navigational devices) haven't been reset," said Cr King.
"So people who are doing this run through are now stopping at the shops saying I want to get over there, and the shopkeepers are directing them to the overpass.
"It'll take a while for people to get used to it."
Mr Emerson then jumped in and ended the press conference before Cr King could go on.
The councillor's departure from "the script" of the media statement came just a day after Mr Emerson was outed for using lines provided by the Attorney-General's office.
He and other Cabinet Ministers sang from the same songbook when asked about calls for Jarrod Bleijie's sacking, saying the Attorney-General was doing a "great job and had made Queensland a safer place".
Today Mr Emerson insisted the views were his own.
"I do think he's doing a great job, and the reality is Queensland is a safer place under the Attorney-General, under the Police Minister, and under the LNP Government," he said.

CHAPEL HILL � Will Dancy reached the top of the depth chart at offensive guard for North Carolina�s football team.
Keeping the first-string role on the 23rd-ranked Tar Heels� fast-paced offense is the next task.
�The way it is, how I play in every game and how the people I�m competing against play in every game is really what (determines that),� Dancy said after North Carolina defeated visiting Liberty 56-29 on Saturday night at Kenan Stadium. �It�s week to week. It�s competition throughout the season. How I played this game and how I practice next week probably says if I start next week, so we�ll see.�
Dancy, a Southern Alamance graduate, is in his second full season with the Tar Heels after a couple of junior college stops and a signing with Memphis that was later put aside.
Dancy is a 305-pound junior. He was listed as potential starter along with redshirt sophomore Caleb Patterson at the beginning of game week. Dancy said true freshman Jared Cohen, who made his college debut against Liberty, is also contending for repetitions.
But Dancy said he had an inkling earlier that he might be on the field for the Tar Heels� first snap.
�Probably last week, we had a mock game where we went through all the situations and what we were going to do in a game and I was starting for that,� he said.
Patterson, who started in 12 games last year, was on the field for the beginning of the second half. Dancy played sparingly in the second half, when Liberty turnovers set up some rapid-fire North Carolina touchdowns.
Regardless the circumstances, the Tar Heels want to go fast.
�Once we got in the tempo, which is what we do really well � when we got in tempo, they couldn�t handle it,� Dancy said.
North Carolina�s next game comes Saturday night against visiting San Diego State.
Before then, Dancy said he has to build off the opener.
�I felt I did pretty well,� he said. �It�s not practice where nobody�s watching. There�s so many people. I can get (better) on my technique. For the most part, it was pretty solid.
�I just have to make sure I play good enough to where I can get enough reps for me.�
