The online tarball doesn't build here either. It doesn't contain the
gather-topology.1in manpage. But make dist (and distcheck) in v1.1
branch work fine here.
I don't know what happen during your make dist. Apart from the missing
manpage. Your tarball contains all files that configure and make
generates (Makefile, .deps, .o, .libs). Your doxygen also created
additional files with -e prefix for each expected html and manpages.
I don't see anything wrong with get_api_version. Once I manually worked
around the missing manpage, make worked fine.
FWIW, you used autoconf 2.68 and doxygen 1.7.2. I use 2.67 and 1.7.1.
Which machine/distrib did you use?

UK lens rental
I'm looking to rent a 600mm (or 500mm) VR lens in the UK at short notice (i.e. need it before this Monday, 26th May).
I've tried Fixation, Camerent and Calumet and they're all out.
It's unlikely there's anywhere else that will have the lens at such short notice but I thought I'd give it a chance and see if anyone on here can tell me otherwise.
Failing that, anyone care to rent me their own lens?

Summary:In the years leading up to 1976, when The Cultural Revolution and the reign of the notorious 'Gang of Four' were coming to an end, Zhang Gengnian was an absentee father. Condemned to spending six years in a rural 'Cadre School' -- a labor camp where he was to be politically "reeducated" -- Gengnian missed Xiangyang's formative years. At nine-years-old, Xiangyang is having the time of his life. Nearly free of adult supervision, he spends his days mischievously roaming the streets. Gengnian, however, has his own idea about the direction that his son's life should take and, now that he's been released, he's determined to make up for lost time. Most particularly, he wants Xiangyang to learn to d... Full Summary >>

Add your two cents...
Frozen weapon of mass distruction
Elsa's powers are the opposite of a nuclear bomb. Instead of vaporising the entire kingdom, she can freeze it. Her destructive powers however are on the same scale. Don't get her angry! I very much enjoyed this film. I've read that some right wing Christian groups in the United States say this film has hidden agendas and is evil. What a load of rubbish! There is nothing sinister about this film. I would happily show it to kids at a church camp and expect nobody to complain.Reviewed by bukster

Flicks.co.nz "Frozen" Movie Review
Liam Maguren, Flicks.co.nz
Opening with a superb working-class musical number that echoes the seven dwarfs' Heigh Ho, Frozen outlines its desire to spellbind its audience in that ol' "Disney magic" from scene one. It's a comparison wholeheartedly earned with its loveable characters, gorgeous artistry and superb show tunes, but it's the infusion of contemporary life lessons that ultimately make Frozen a family-friendly triumph.
Loosely based on the fantasy fable The Snow Queen, the story opens with a years-gone-by childhood prologue of Anna and her magical sibling Elsa, expressing their shared joy, sudden isolation and eventual misery through song – a Les Mis for kids. From there, the plot weaves together a romance triangle, political treachery and themes of self-acceptance – nothing we haven't seen before – but when Frozen presents its ideals of 'true love', it becomes a work that holds significantly more value to growing girls than the Walt Disney classics of yore.
The script's wit occasionally wobbles when the leads attempt to use modern social mannerisms ("That just happened,") that feel distractingly out-of-character. And while Sven, the canine reindeer, has his appeal, he's no Maximus (Tangled). Fortunately, Olaf, the blissfully ignorant snow man, proves a memorable kiddie comic relief in Disney's extensive sidekick canon. Introduced halfway through the film, Olaf's scenes are short-n-sweet with consistently funny acts of naivety that never run the risk of overexposure, with the excellent Josh Gad applying enough restraint to make his gullible innocence charming rather than annoying.
Following on from 2009's bold The Princess and the Frog, 2010's fantastic Tangled and last year's awesome Wreck-It Ralph, Frozen is confirmation that we've entered a new Disney renaissance.

Philly Fed Beats Even As Core Components Deteriorate
The ridiculous economic data continues. Those looking at the headline Philly Fed, which jumped from -1.9 to 5.7, trouncing expectations of 1.0, such as the NY Fed's Simon Potter are pushing buy buttons left and right. And yet anyone who takes the 2 minutes to look at the internals, such as the collapse in the Number of Employees Sub-Index, which tumbled from -7.3 to -10.7 (the lowest since September 2009), the decline in the Average Employee Workweek, or the surge in Prices Paid from 8 to 19, double the change in Prices Received which means plunging corporate profits, or the ever critical New Orders which declined from 1.0 to -0.6, and one can see why this is a report only an Econ Ph.D-cum-Central Planner can love. Finally adding insult to injury, is the 6 month forecast, which unlike all other regional Fed diffusion indices, collapsed by half, from 41.2 to 21.6, as the Hopium at least in the city of brotherly mugging appears to be running out. Stocks kneejerk in every possible direction hoping the Fed will provide a direction.
To summarize from the report:
Price Indexes Increase Slightly
More firms reported paying higher prices for inputs, and the prices received for manufactured goods rose modestly this month. The prices paid index increased from 8 last month to 19 in October, with 30 percent of the firms reporting input price increases. With respect to their own manufactured goods, the percentage reporting an increase in prices (19 percent) was greater than the percentage reporting a decrease (14 percent). The prices received index rose to 5.4 from ]0.2.
The October Business Outlook Survey suggests that activity among the region's manufacturing sector has steadied, following several months of reported declines. However, firms reported flat new orders and shipments and declines in employment. Prices for firms' manufactured goods were moderately higher this month, while increases in input prices were more widespread. The future activity index decreased this month but remained positive, and firms are still generally optimistic regarding growth over the next six months.
Full table:
And chart:
And Philly Fed vs NFP:
- advertisements -
"Beating" expectations, all.. the... way... down...
If the core components are down that's bullish because it means the Fed will print... oh, wait.
Correct, printing is all we got now. The real question with respect to trading is, will this finally give us that inflation that the Fed is so desparately trying to get. They want inflation, in a big way, it's the only way to make the cronies/operational arm of the Fed appear solvent.
aaannnd...indexes going green. un-fucking-real.
As in algo promoting BS headlines and in FIAT.. He who prints first, prints best!
So how did this survey end up higher by 5 points?
Or is the beat all in the higher costs to manufacturers and the higher prices paid for wholesale goods?
Higher prices are good for everyone, right Ben?
Philadelphia Freedome
The banner ads in the upper left of your site slamming Joe Walsh, the only Illinois congressman who is so principled the Republican party doesn't even support him, are getting a little annoying. Is there any way to filter out those and the ads for Barack I'llBomya, please?
Just saying . . . .
The ad's are based on your browsing habits. Change your browsing habits.
The alternative is to run an Ad-Blocker.
Everyone sees differrent ads, as they are titrated to your viewing habits by the adservers. Thought you'd like to know. Makes us wonder what you're looking at...
Hee hee, at least he didn't complain about all of the ads for gay porn.

Ironic how many internal data points, in last week, are hitting lows not seen since 2009.
Those QE's seem to really have made a difference. Infinity going to be awesome.
Philly cheesey stake.
Based on the COMPRESSION IN ALMOST ALL UNDERLYING DATA (not to be confused with headline data) you may finally realize WHY BERNANKE chose to unleash QE Infinity because paying for all this is going to be a BIG BIG number later.
Yet the election will be over and the status quo wins either way.
I am totally lost on what the election has to do with any of this, if in fact the status quo does win either way (which it will). Say it all falls apart today. Awful data, market collapse, even throw a currency crisis in there. Obama would be out and Mitt would be in. It's not like they would throw Gary Johnson or RP in there because everyone came to their senses. Ben would print his ass off and emergency tarp type shit would happen all over again. Even if it did not work. We would still have the same assholes steering the ship.
Just some cover so a "legitimate Govt.'(oxymoron) can do their bidding, pretending its the people will.
'They' are not a homogeneous group and have been infighting since their days at Andover. The current fight is for who gets to be head spokes-puppet for the group. It's a prestigious job and carries lots of golf privileges. That we are not part of 'Them' is a given but there is always jockeying for position within the group.
Philly Fed Beats Even As Core Components Deteriorate
Its 0k, this is not about telling the truth, its about fooling the sheep and trying to prop up the Chicago gang. I cannot ever recall such deception in the history of America.
Obama now leads Romney 57-42
Unemployment rate drops to 5.3%
Consumer Confidence jumps to 72.3
3rd Qtr GDP 3.9%
Inflation running at a paltry 0.7%
How Obama or Romney Should Have Answered the iPad Question
The correct answer is that, under current conditions, which are highly unlikely to change no matter who is president, the job of assembling iPhones and iPads and other consumer electronics is now done mostly in China by companies that specialize in manufacturing, and will never come back to the U.S. And that's okay.
Sadly, both Obama and Romney flubbed their answers, and educated voters not at all.
All I can say is: it's a good thing electronics don't have any importance for our national security.
The "Beating" of expectations will continue until morale is improved.
I hope the Philly Fed members celebrate their successful report by going to Camden for drinks.
Skynet had fun with that one; huge jump in indices before humans could read the number, then back down within minutes.
Nanex might have some interesting charts on that by days end.
They are living in their own world. The rest of America is in a total death spiral. I watched two people go at it yesterday over an Obama 2012 sticker that one of the guys had on his bumper, it got pretty ugly. Not seeing a single campaign sign on anybody's lawn this time around either? I think most Americans are starting to feel the tension and realizing it doesn't matter who wins the election, we are doomed regardless...
Same here in Florida.

he got angry and started yelling that I was out of line..Laughing continued.. this guy teaches the young economics ..
did not laugh at that.
Capex outlook first time negative since sept 2009. before that 2000. Bullish
Just as we no longer see a balanced budget, I don't expect they'll bother reporting (lying about) these numbers much longer.
Do you think the present state of total suspension of disbelief ends in another few weeks 'after election'? Since its all supposedly due to 'gotta make it all look good FOR elections' and all.

Remembering those who served on Veterans Day
November 10, 2011
Each year, on Nov. 11, we honor those who have donned the uniform and have served in battle throughout our history.
Veterans Day is Friday and it is my hope everyone takes a moment to remember the sacrifices so many have given to protect the United States as well as help others in countries all over the globe become free themselves as we are.
Normally, this is a day that tends to be forgotten by many. It is listed on calendars, but many don't think about it much past that.
This year, on 11/11/11 at 11 a.m., I hope that's different.
In this week's Regional News, we have tried to honor a few of our veterans and as always, our reporters will be attending Veterans Day activities at the local schools to capture the scenes that honor our military friends and neighbors.
Each year, the schools do a great job organizing and holding these events, as does the American Legion posts. However, these activities tend to be only attended by the military members and their families. In a way that is sad to me.
Veterans Day is in honor of all those, living and dead, who served with the United States armed forces. It honors all those who have served in times of peace as well as during war.
It is different than Memorial Day, which mainly honors those who have died during wartime.
Veterans Day originally was called Armistice Day, because it commemorated the end of World War I on Nov. 11, 1918, when the fighting stopped at 11 a.m., the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
In 1919, on the first anniversary of the World War I truce, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation which honored the heroism of those who died. At the time, businesses stopped for two minutes, starting at 11 a.m. and it became customary to observe two minutes of silence.
Many states made Armistice Day a holiday in the 1920s and 1930s, but in 1938, Congress declared it a federal holiday.
In 1954, the name of the holiday changed from Armistice Day to Veterans Day to honor those who had served in World War II and the Korean War.
These are people who have raised their right hand and made an oath to defend this country in times of war and during peace.
They put their lives on the line so others in the country don't have to. These soldiers and sailors travel throughout the world defending our values of freedom and democracy in countries that don't know what that means.
They left their families, friends and normal lives when they were called to duty. They did this knowing that they might have to give their lives during their duty.
But they still went bravely and proudly wherever they were needed in the world.
Just like last year and the past couple years, Veterans Day should mean more in time of war, regardless of what you think about the wars.
Veterans Day is a perfect opportunity to spend a little time thinking of those now serving and those who have served our country.
Each day we are losing our World War II veterans and those who served in Korea and Vietnam are not far behind.
Along with the older veterans who served, it also would be a good time to spend a few moments thinking about the efforts being made by current soldiers and sailors and the sacrifices they are making right now.
All it takes is a moment to think of them and show them respect. After all, they performed these duties so other Americans don't have to.
For all their efforts, veterans deserve to be honored and always remembered for their commitment and patriotism.
To those of you who served, thank you.

Former U.S. Army Reservist,

If you get into trouble, simply go back across the border and return when you feel it is safe.
Have what is described as anchor babies.
Now if one of our states tries to do something about it, our own federal government stops them, saying it's the feds' job. Well, isn't it time the feds did their job? We do not need immigration reform, we need a government and a president that will stand up for us and enforce the laws we have. Why do we have to change our laws for illegal immigrants? See what would happen if you go to Mexico and protest their immigration laws.
Our immigration laws are fair and serve a purpose and it's time something is done to all those who have broken those laws. Law-abiding? Don't make me laugh.

The Fashion Show Ultimate Collection: Unaired Judges Deliberations
January 13, 2011 02:00 PM by Lori Wilson
Viewers don't usually get to see the judges deliberate when deciding who should win and who should go home on The Fashion Show Ultimate Collection. However, Bravo often airs those moments on their site to help explain why Iman, Isaac Mizrahi, Laura Brown and whoever the guest judge is that week decide they way they do. If you were surprised that seeming front-runner Eduardo was sent home last week from The Fashion Show, read on to find out what went through the judges' minds.
In the video of the extended judges' table, they all decided this was a tough week for decisions. While Isaac pointed out, "It's shocking how much competition there was tonight," Laura Brown bemoaned, "I want to vote myself off to save anybody the pain." She then mused, "I think we have to judge like who brought it on the night and who may have had a history of being great, but maybe didn't bring it so much tonight."
Once again, Isaac brought up how much repetition they've seen from Eduardo, but Iman pointed out he is sellable. However, Laura later chimed in, "I think that Eduardo is a wonderful sculptural designer, but he relies on certain tricks and tropes and that is – add a ruffle.
As for Dominique's garments, which appeared to be largely panned, Isaac explained, "By all rights, Dominique's clothes should have been cringe worthy, right? And they were almost, but when you look at the challenge, and it's called eccentric glamour, and you say, 'No my dear, look at the things she was given.' How is she supposed to do anything, but have a great big sense of humor about her challenge this week."
Week eight guest judge and the creative director of Barney's, Simon Doonan, summed up their decision to send Eduardo home from the Bravo reality show by saying, "I think people watching the show are going to be shocked that we're giving Dominique so many compliments because to many people what she did was borderline cringe and kind of ratty, but the creativity was there and the magic was there. They would look at Eduardo and say, 'Wow! Finesse, glamour, international glamour,' and wonder why he might be going home, but I think it's Eduardo. Guys like Eduardo will work for the rest of their lives because he's accomplished, he knows what he's doing, he understands a more conservative client, but he's not a directional avant-garde designer."
Finally, Iman declared, "I agree. Eduardo. I think his time has come. And gone. There's no hook on his line. As Simon said, there is a clientele out there for him and he will do fine, but I think it's time for us to give the other designers a chance."
Does that help you understand the judges' decision this week on The Fashion Show Ultimate Collection? Do you agree with them?

Gotta say I like Harbaugh's style - as long as there is time on the clock you keep your foot on the gas, no matter what the scoreboard says. Still blitzing on D. Still running play action passes for TD's late in the 4th. Stanford is really well coached and the players are executing their roles perfectly.
Interesting stat shown earlier in the game that VT is 1-18 all time under Beamer against top 5 teams. Yikes. After tonight I guess make that 1-19.

How to convert an SPSS File into GAUSS dataset
I need to convert an SPSS data file into a GAUSS data file.
I have created a text file with my data (without the header) and have been trying to use the ATOG utility, but have been getting an error message saying "atog is not recognized as an internal or an external command" when I am trying to run the command file using the following command from the command prompt of my windows machine.
atog CommandFile.txt
My command file has the following lines into it.
input DataTobeConv.txt;
output Data;
invar CASEID uno sero consume1 consume2 consume3 hhsize;
outvar CASEID uno sero consume1 consume2 consume3 hhsize;
outtyp d;
I need to convert this file into the gauss data file on an urgent basis.
I would highly appreciate if someone could guide me in the process.
Thanks and Regards.
4 Answers
You can read the text file into GAUSS directly with the 'load' command. It reads it in as a vector, though. So if your data is a matrix, you will have to reshape it.
load x[]=DataTobeConv.text;
If you need to reshape, then add something like this.
x = reshape(x, numrows, numcols);
BTW, atog is a separate program. It comes with GAUSS, but it is not a GAUSS command. It should be in your main GAUSS directory. But, I don't think you'll need it.
Thank you very much for your prompt reply.
I know how to read a text file and that is what I have been doing so far.
But now I need to have my data in GAUSS data format.
I would appreciate if I could get some help on using atog utility or any other means of converting the data into gauss data format.
Thanks and Regards
Hi Thanks, I have been able to figure out how to use atog.
Once you have loaded the data from a text file into GAUSS, you can create a new GAUSS dataset with the saved command. For example, let's imagine we have a 1000x3 matrix in which the first column represents GDP, the second imports and the third exports. Let's also assume that we have loaded this 1000x3 matrix into GAUSS in a variable named country_data. You could then create a GAUSS dataset like this:
//Variable names to add to GAUSS dataset string var_names = { "GDP", "Imports", "Exports" }; //Create new GAUSS dataset ret = saved(country_data, "new_dataset.dat", var_names);

Come celebrate with us!
The Bata Shoe Museum is very excited to be celebrating our 20th birthday on May 6th, 2015! In celebration of this milestone we will be kicking off a year-long celebration of the BSM and our history. Have a look at our yearlong event brochure for a full list of our programs and events happening over our anniversary year!
A Global Mapping Project by the BSM
Here at the BSM, we work to provide insight in history, society and culture through the lens of footwear. Last year we presented a video series The World at Your Feet: Stories from the Collection of the BSM which explored some of our favourite stories from the BSM collection. This year, we want the stories to be all about you! We are very excited to announce the second phase of our The World at Your Feet series – The World at Your Feet: A Global Mapping Project by the BSM.
For the past two decades the BSM has strived to use shoes to tell stories – stories about cultures, stories about history, stories about society and stories about people. This year we are asking you to tell your stories and help us create a map of the world that reflects what shoes look like and mean to the cultures, societies and people who wear them. The World at Your Feet: A Global Mapping Project by the BSM is an interactive project that asks what corners of the world have your shoes taken you to? What does footwear mean in your culture? What have you done and where have you been in your favourite pair of shoes? We invite you to drop your pin on the map and become part of the narrative of the story of shoes. Share with us what has happened to you when you have taken the time to discover "the world at your feet".
To kick things off we are beginning our mapping project with some of our own shoe stories. For the next year, beginning May 6th, we are inviting you to take the opportunity to share your stories, photos and videos and leave your footprint on our map of the world!
The Bata Shoe Museum is excited to open our doors to contemporary artists on a local, national and international scale. During our birthday year, the BSM will be displaying a series of atrium installations including works by Toronto artist Jim Hake and Parisian artist Pascale Peyret created specifically for our space, as well as hosting a week of contemporary performance works by Anandam Dancetheatre.
The Bata Shoe Museum – one of Toronto's most unique cultural gems – is turning 20!
On May 7th, 2015, the BSM invited guests to follow an intriguing maze of clues to an unexpected evening of discovery and surprise and explore a world where exhibitions come alive, shoes defy gravity and men wear heels. It was indeed a memorable affair for a memorable museum.
Thursday, May 7th, 2015 at 8pm
Cocktail Soiree, elegant attire requested

What's a birthday without a birthday party?! On May 9th the held BSM is holding an Birthday Open House and we invited everyone in Toronto to come and celebrate this milestone with us. Visitors joined us for tons of shoe-inspired arts and crafts, got a glimpse into their future by having their shoes read, checked out some special guests in our galleries, saw the unveiling of our brand new window and joined us for a birthday cupcake! Museum Founder Sonja Bata, Mayor John Tory, Lieutenant Governor Elizabeth Dowdeswell, Deputy Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport Drew Fagan and renowned BSM architect Raymond Moriyama were all on hand to say a big thank you for 20 years of support.

Feb. 22, 2006
FRESNO, Calif. - The No. 23 Fresno State softball team picked up an 8-0, 5 inning victory over UC Davis behind a barrage of extra base hits, including a two-run home run from junior catcher Nichole Willis.
Freshman right-handed pitcher Robin Mackin, who was named the Xbox Live Western Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week on Monday, threw a two-hitter for her second shutout win of the season.
Mackin also walked three and struck out nine as she improved to 5-3 on the season.
At the plate, the Bulldogs recorded eight runs on seven hits to go along with seven RBI. Fresno State also collected three doubles while Willis hit her first home run of the season.
UC Davis utilized two pitchers as starter Rachel Kelly took the loss after allowing five runs on four hits while walking four in 2.1 innings of work. Lindsay Tognetti pitched the final 1.2 innings and gave up three runs on three hits while walking one.
Fresno State scored four runs in the second and added a pair of runs in the third and fourth innings.
In the second with one out, freshman right fielder Mallory Perkins doubled down the left field line as Mackin and freshman left fielder Ashley White both walked to start the inning off. With Perkins on third with two outs, senior All-America shortstop Christina Clark drilled a double to right center to score Perkins. Freshman designated Merryann Barr then singled to center field to knock in Clark as the Bulldogs scored four runs on three hits.
In the third with one out, Mackin singled to left field. With Tognetti coming into the circle, White popped out before junior centerfielder Shannon Garvin roped a double to left center to score Mackin. After freshman third baseman Haley Perkins reached on an Aggie error and Garvin going to third on the play, Perkins induced the Aggie infielders into a rundown. Perkins successfully reached second and Garvin ran home after an errant throw by the UC Davis second baseman in the run down.
In the fourth, Clark led the inning off with a walk. After stealing second, Willis homered to left field to give the Bulldogs an 8-0 lead and eventual win.

After the authorities terminated MegaUpload yesterday, founder Kim Schmitz's possessions were targeted, with his car collection being the first to be seized.
We don't know what's more opulent: the vehicles themselves, or their number plates, which, for example, read "GOD" (Rolls-Royce Phantom Drop Head Coupe), "MAFIA" (Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG), "STONED" (Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG), "GOOD" & "EVIL" (Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG). We have to mention that the photos came to us via Elliott Kember.
We have to tell you that about 30 cars and bike were seized after the authorities intercepted a series of mails that allegedly reveal how Kim offered cash to uploaders in exchange for copywrited material. The vehicles were taken away from his mansion in New Zealand.
The FBI suspended a total of 64 bank accounts and multiple PayPal accounts, which hold a total of $175 million, being held in multiple countries.

While the goal of training in the gym is frequently to look and feel better, it also represents for many the place where people can make their bodies stronger to enjoy other pursuits outside the gym.
Quality of life also includes taking the edge off of chronic pain or age-onset discomforts that can find their way into our lives at any time.
In our training center, I would estimate that over 80 percent of our clients come to us with some kind of joint discomfort or another.
While the inclination is to assign these injuries to age-related discomforts, that is often not true. Past sports injuries, diseases, accidents, surgeries and job-related injuries can often cause or even further a person's existing condition.
Even though there is not a "magic pill" that fixes injury, I have concluded that there is no reason to compromise one's complete fitness simply because of the injury to only one — or even multiple parts — of the body.
The more important part is learning to train within the limitations of injury rather than completely avoiding your fitness. Often, taking on an injury or affected joint by moving toward instead of away from resistance training with a smaller range of motion can play a significant role in managing the pain.
Below are two of the more common injuries I have observed and some of the ways they can be managed to lessen the pain.
• Low back: We spend our lives leaning forward. This is further complicated by the very few "life movements" that have us extending at our low spine. Sprinkle that with frequent sitting and buckling or collapsing at our mid-section, and we have the perfect scenario for poor development of muscles around the spine.
Therapy: Pull your belly-button inward any time you are sitting down or driving. Keep your low back pressed against the chair or seat, and try to flex your abdominal muscles (without holding your breath) for 10 or 15 second increments. Perform this as often as you can think about it throughout the day.
• Knees: The killer to knee pain is excessive bending. This can often be an absent-minded event such as squatting incorrectly to pick something up, to sitting in too deep a chair or sofa and then coming to a stand.
Therapy: Even if you haven't had therapy or surgery, the act of strengthening your quads by simply squeezing them and keeping them flexed for 10-15 second efforts at random times throughout you day can strengthen those big muscles and dampen motion through the knee joint, helping to minimize pain. Learn to put pressure through the heels when coming up from a seated position: This will activate glutes and hamstrings when standing from a seated position taking some stress off the knee. Keep in mind that you can still develop strength in the knee by minimizing the range of motion that you use to bend — even when training with weights.

Citi Destroys The 'Cash-Hoarding-Corporations-Should-Return-It-To-Shareholders' Meme
Authored by Jason Shoup & Sonam Pokwal of Citi,
The Cash Myth
When it comes to popular finance myths, cash hoarding by corporates may be one of the most perpetuated. It's not that the data is wrong; US companies are holding more cash on their balance sheets than at any time in the past, as a report by Moody's this week notes. What's misguided is the narrative, in Citi's view, in particular among equity investors. What they most take issue with is the implication that corporates have lots of cash to return to shareholders. Indeed, there's plenty of data to the contrary that challenges the prevailing notion that corporates are the picture of good health.
For a start, dig just a little deeper into the specific companies contributing to the rise in corporate cash balances and it's evident that there's more to the story than meets the eye. For instance, using the Russell 3000 as a universe, we see that the top 20 corporates with the most cash on their balance sheets at the end of 2012 hold over $650 billion - almost 40% of all the cash and marketable securities of Russell 3000 companies. And among those top 20 companies, cash balances have grown between 15-20% for the last year, while the rest of the companies have seen far lower growth in the 0-5% range.
What's more, as the recently released Flow of Funds data makes clear, cash growth has lagged behind EBITDA growth and, more importantly, the accumulation of debt. So while corporates do indeed have more cash on their balance sheets than at any time in the past, they also have more debt.
As always, the nominal numbers matter far less than the relative ratios. Take cash as a percentage of total debt. That ratio is rapidly plunging and, at least to our minds, implies that further shareholder friendly behavior will likely be funded with more borrowing at the margin (see figure).
Similarly, we'd argue that corporate liquidity isn't nearly as great as many pundits have advertised. The idea that investment grade corporations have taken advantage of low rates to extend their maturities isn't quite accurate. While it's true that many corporates have meaningfully reduced their dependence on the commercial paper market in the wake of the credit crisis, companies as a whole have made remarkably little effort to issue a greater percentage of their fixed rate debt in longer maturities.
We think there are two reasons for this behavior. Either the demand simply isn't there for a significant step up in long duration supply and issuers are being told as much from the folks in capital markets or, more likely in our view, the attraction of the steep yield curve is just too great. Indeed, CFOs have been able to accomplish a remarkable sleight of hand in being able to add debt to the balance sheet without incurring a corresponding rise in their interest expense these past few years, but that illusion would be ruined if all the debt had instead come at the 30yr point.
Many investors argue, of course, that releveraging of this sort is an intended consequence of QE and, provided the companies use the funds in a way that contributes to growing the economy, the costs are likely to be minimal. After all, it's not as if interest coverage ratios are suffering as a result.
Yet we're not so sure that the increase in debt (and leverage) and decrease in liquidity will go indefinitely unpunished. For a start, the surge in shareholder activism this year has made it harder for risk-adverse CFOs to continue with a measured approach to levering the balance sheet—a fact that the agencies are increasingly taking note of. Indeed, the days when leveraging activity wasn't done at the expense of bond ratings are quickly becoming a thing of the past.
But more broadly speaking, the really troubling aspect to the deterioration in corporate fundamentals is that valuations do not appear to reflect reality any more. While the disconnect between the two is not on the level of Europe (where most EU economies are in recession, corporate fundamentals are in bad shape, and yet credit spreads haven't been tighter in six years), we believe that in a similar way US investors have been forced to ignore the factors that have historically driven credit spreads.
In that respect, the Fed deserves quite a bit of credit in cajoling investors into abandoning credit analysis. And there's no reason why easy money can't continue to exert its influence on valuations for an extended period of time or why the disconnect can't grow measurably larger.
But even if spreads are more likely than not to end the year tighter than current levels, that doesn't mean chasing every last bit of tightening is a prudent strategy from a risk perspective. For as the disconnect between fundamentals and valuations grows, so does our unease that IG spreads could snap back to reality given a nasty enough catalyst. In recent days, the goings on in Cyprus and Italy have at times looked like they could potentially fit that bill, even if the market has eventually ended up dismissing those initial concerns.
So as the tail risks simultaneously grow in probability and severity, we can't help but get more cautious even though it's extremely difficult to predict the timing of any potential sell off. Frankly, the asymmetry in credit is such that it's hard to continue to favor an overweight unless the probability of a correction is incredibly low.

At Any Price, Losers.
if only we can get our dividends in gold and silver....
AAPL needs all the cash it can get, because it's about to overake RIMM as the #1 loser-old-man-phone company.
Finally, Citi has something right.
Introduction to CFO -- when rates are 0, BORROW MONEY and a helluva lot of it. CFOs are always looking to raise money at the lowest cost of capital possible.
Rates have been 0 and so the cash on those balance sheets is borrowed money. Give it to shareholders and the stock price should drop severely as it becomes clear the companies can't repay the debt when it matures.
If I borrow a lot from Bank A and put it in Bank B, then I can also say to anyone that I have a big cash hoard..... just like the companies
My available credit has multiplied by 50 in just the last year. I'll keep expanding it.
Normally in Monopoly, the game ends when only one person is left with all the cash and properties, because the rest has no more cash. But of you read the fine print, the Bank can issue more money -- at will -- as long as it wants to, as long as they keep tabs on this and eventually settle up when it's time. Thus, the money and the game just keep on going, just like in real life.
Does Monopoly supply a printer or is it even more like real life with no paper money and you only have digital 1s and 0s to be 'printed' at will
Nope you have to supply your own paper and ink. If you care to use a computer to keep track of the tabs like todays banking, then yes it would be 1s and 0s. Everyone changed in their money for a number at the bank. Just like real life, except both are just imaginary when the number is supposed to count.
there is one winner and the bank, who are left playing
the banks have no differentiation, ergo they are one bank, welcome to communism
..the monopoly bank is of coruse the Fed
seems that the article does not go deep enough.
cash balances are what they are simply because corporates are holding cash offshore in low tax jurisdictions ...like Cyprus..that is, probably not Cyprus but probably the Caribbean, Ireland, Luxembourg etc etc.
we are supposedly seeing record profits from corporates...follow the money...are we seeing record tax receipts? if not, why not? my guess is tax and regulatory arbitrage and tax avoidance.
after all, corporates are told all the time that "they didn't make that" and of course, the corrollary of that is "then we won't pay tax on profits then"
Maybe, does it cover the debt and exisiting counterparty risk (i.e. outstanding CDS)? My guess is no fucking way. Many things can appear great so long as no one makes that margin call. Moreover, if you don't mind, I'd like to see the underlying collateral for all this debt.
spot on...how much of the cash is margin money, where is the cash domiciled and is the derivative p/l secured on cash or government (the right governments of course) or on corporate bonds.
there's not even an attempt to split this between companies like apple (and where there cash is) how much is required for reserving by banks etc etc..pretty piss poor in depth, but at least its a start..maybe the writes will actually earn their money by goi g into details or perhaps they will remain content to complete under grad economics work
If they get worried about their banks going Cypriot on them, they might rather pay the tax and bring that money home.
Easy to fix. let gold and silver blast off and waste their turkey injection balance sheets.
These jerk-offs bailed out all these fucked up companies and they all just held the cash.
Never creating one fucking job. What an absolute disaster.
Bernanke and the old lizard geezer Greenspan are real assholes they fucked this shit up royally.
There isn't any fucking recovery you fucking liars!
Try reading and understanding what you read... this article explains all the cash, as for banks, they have to continue to make shit tons of money to deleverage, so when the shit really hits the fan they dont become insolvent, this is all been done before. The real problem is that these idiots at the fed cant remember 30 years ago when there was high unemployment and high inflation, and still preach that they can just print money cause there is "slack" in the economy, but truth be known they know all this and are simply lying to keep people from panicking, they are printing the shit out of money to deleverage the economy, and I think a big part of it is a work around for mark to market. the fed does not have to mark to market so it bought all the shit assets from the banks, and I think they will just hold them forever and that's why you will never see an audit, cause it would expose this. Also gold and silver are probably priced fairly and could easily be OVERPRICED, what all these gold bugs (I hold some as well) dont understand is that the huge amount of excess leverage in the world economy is DEFLATIONARY, and that holds all this money printing in check, and the only reason they are able to get away with it. The main question is if you believe the fed will be able to completely stop the deflation and inflate, which they probably will, but if there is another crisis, not even the fed can stop the deflation, (in last crisis gold dropped from 1000 or so to under 800, and silver dropped like 60-70%.
Well, if not to the Shareholders, or Bondholders... And you'll pardon me for noticing, but... Some fucking JOBS and/or liveable WAGES would be nice for creating that DEMAND, oh great and nobel, self-sacrificing JOB CREATERRRZ.
Oh. That's right. There's a Black Democrat in the White House, so y'all are spendin' some quality time in Galt's Gulch.
Petty bastards.
Please, humanity isn't just another ponzi, it's the ponzi. Remind me, what product or service of real fucking value do any of these paper-pushers create?
Simply put, the earth is awash in debt, period. It only get's worse from here unless the bad debt is cleared. Doing so would require restoring the rule of law and contracts. With so many feeling like they are owed so much, my bet is on world war first. Same as it ever was. Fraud is the status quo, posseession is the law. Most simply have no clue and will not until the EBT cards stop working.
Can you imagine when historians look back and read ZH and all other media outlets writeup and comments what a treasure trove of information will be available.
There isn't a stone unturned that someone could point to and say we didn't know/ if only we had known.
And when the first one comes out and say "were going to fix it so it will never happen again" shoot them.
Jobs was a hack... apple will be the next microsoft, because eventually customers wake up and realize you were gouging them. he should instead have licensed out ios and shut down competitors from developing, instead they let google gain a foot hold and then surpass them. every smartphone could be running ios and apple making a nice little profit with minimal costs to it. They also really screwed up forcing people to use the horrible itunes for everything, google did it the right way.
Oh boy. I got the Snorgtee ad. Not the missing camel toe but close enough.
Monsanto must have had to pony some of their cash up to get their "Monsanto's going to kill you and the Government is going to force you to let them" bill tacked onto the US budget that the Senate just passed. Don't know how much it cost them to be above the entire legal system in teh US of A but it probably wasn't cheap. I think they called something like the Fairness in Farming bill.
How about an ETF or s stock that pays a dividend in Physical PMs? Or a corporate bond whose coupon is linked to the price of PMs ?
The Issuing entities could hedge / manage those PM dividend / coupon payments pretty easily.
The supposed cash hoarding by Corps is just another indication of the misallocation of capital caused by Bernank and his skank, ole Yellen.
What can you buy with BitCoin. Well you can buy a house with BitCoin.
good article, don't know why any of the pundits cant be cleaver enough to point out the cash/debt ratio is lower then before, so in reality the cash is completely justified, and in fact might be on the low side.
The FED should realize that printing more money or driving rates down actually causes job losses, destruction of assets, and compresses margins. Companies may have large amounts of cash, but they actually have larger amounts of unrealized losses on their balance sheets. By forcing rates lower across the curve, outstanding debt increases in value and in most cases cannot be retired early. If the correct accounting rules were in place, many corps. would have to mark these large unrealized losses against earnings. It does not matter how much cash they have. The debt remains outstanding at higher rates. The cash earns nothing. This also causes a further dislocation in the employment markets since newer technology and newly created companies can raise money cheaper to buy newer updated manufacturing equipment that requires fewer works and is much more efficient. Existing corporations, plant and equipment are obsolete and margins get squeezed, people get laid off. So the lower rates go the higher the unemployment rate, and the barrier to entry for new competition increases lowering profit margins. A vicious circle. The FED has created a situation whereby the financial elite benefit from carry trades against the curve, and manipulate assets; but the rest of corporate America, in fact the rest of the world is caught in margin squeeze and profit spiral. Existing businesses basically get forced out of business because they have existing debt outstanding that cannot be called; creating a fixed cost that works against them to a greater and greater degree as rates drop. The model is broken.
The Fed does realize. Therein lies the problem.
Cheap money is making all forms of manufacturing obsolete, so that everyone is becoming a lender and no one is making anything anymore. You would think corps would be deleveraging given all the cheap money floating around, but they're not. They're using the cheap money to pump up their balance sheets which in turn gives them more access to cheap money. They've all discovered that you don't need to work to make money anymore, just borrow. Its easier on the back and the brain. But when the cheap money spiggot is closed, their assets are going to tank in value and they're going to have to liquidate everything, and then their business is going to be completely gone. AAPL is a great example - existed since 1981 with no debt and then all the sudden, in the last 4 years its debt shot up from $16 billion to $57 billion. Its expenses have followed, multiplying 4 times. What happens if revenue cannot cover these expenses plus debt? It will have to liquidate assets. This will cause its assets to drop in value because the return on assets will shrink and the whole company will get sucked up like toilet paper in a vacuum cleaner. And the same thing will happen accross the corporate spectrum.
i had to give this article a five even though it took 6-8 months to show up as an answer to my question regarding the quality of the cash.....not only is it encumbered by debt, but the wealth is not spread evenly....
if a country has 10 people with 1 making 1 million usd per year, and 9 making 0 usd per year, what is the average income? what is the median income? did everyone get the correct answers? i knew you could!
for extra credit, what kind of distribution does it have?
They will need that cash to pay the wealth tax coming to the countries in which they hold that cash.
Easy to fix. let gold and silver blast off and waste their turkey injection balance sheets.
These jerk-offs bailed out all these fucked up companies and they all just held the cash.

The FED did it to us, period! ... but they continue unabated.
When the serious financial crush comes the FED will blame it on the economy and say "We tried our hardest: low interest rates, buy-backs of MBS, liquidity injections, and QE to the Max, but demographics, speculation, irresponsible banking (ironic that they will use this argument, as they are a bank ... but they will), and a sluggish economy caused our (heroic) measures to fall short.

text: Hey folks, I'd love to hear any advice about selecting a bike. I've turned into a spin class addict these past few months and on the weekends am riding my old ratty bike around local asphalt paths. I'm pushing 49 and am in pretty good shape. I enjoy riding around the 'hood, but my husband used to be a pretty avid mountain biker. I think he'd really like me to get a mountain bike, but we have to drive a ways out of town to use it, and I want to be able to hop on and go when I get an extra hour or two after work or on weekends. So I was thinking about a hybrid for starters. I'm planning to go to the local cycle shop this weekend to discuss all this. They have an excellent reputation and have been in business forever, so I'm sure they'll give good advice. In the meantime, I'd love any pointers or suggestions. Glad to find this forum. Cheers, and have a great weekend.

Five Factoids about Cancer and Poverty
Eastern Division | CancerNYNJ Newsroom | News Updates | Contact Us
American Cancer Society data says it's not what classes you take, it's what socioeconomic class you belong to
New York, N.Y. (June 25, 2011) – A college degree can help you get a job, a promotion and a bigger paycheck. But new evidence suggests it can also give you a lower cancer risk. How can that be and where does that data come from?
The first thing you need to know is this isn't hype. There's actually solid science behind the headlines. But it's not so much if you have a bachelors or masters degree that determines your risk. Education is often used as a marker for socioeconomic status. The more schooling you have, statically speaking, the more likely you are to be in a more affluent socioeconomic status. So people who are poor or live in poverty aren't as likely to be college educated.
That's where the connection to college and cancer lies. As Dr. Len Lichtenfeld wrote in his blog this week, poverty really is a carcinogenic. This new data on poverty and cancer comes from the American Cancer Society's Facts and Figures 2011.
Among the key findings of the report:
- If the death rates of the most educated non-Hispanic whites are applied to all individuals ages 25 to 64 – i.e., if everyone had the cancer burden of the most educated -- the number of cancer deaths in this age group could be reduced by 37%.
- Among African Americans aged 25-64, there were 12,710 cancer deaths in men and 11,850 cancer deaths in women in 2007. Eliminating economic disparities among African Americans could potential avoid 10,050 cancer deaths, twice as many as eliminating racial disparities.
To help break it down, here are five factoids from the American Cancer Society about how race and economics influence cancer disparities.
