Jessops: Camera Chain Closing All Stores
Camera retailer Jessops is clearing stock from its stores after administrators announced it was unable to continue trading.
PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), which was appointed to the group on Wednesday, has begun the process of shutting the firm's entire network of 187 stores with the loss of 1,370 jobs
The administrators said further job losses are likely at the group's head office in Leicester.
Jessops is the first high-profile retail casualty of 2013, after suffering from online competition and a boom in camera phones in recent years hitting demand for digital cameras.
Administrator Rob Hunt said PwC had held "extensive discussions" with suppliers, but it was apparent that Jessops could not continue to trade.
He said stock would be collected from the shops and taken to a warehouse, where it would be returned to suppliers.
As a result of the closure of the shops, Mr Hunt added that customers would not be able to return products.
Jessops was forced to call in the administrators this week after talks between the company and its lender and suppliers broke down following a poor Christmas.
Jessops had struggled since 2007, when it underwent a major overhaul with a swathe of store closures.
It came close to collapse two years later, before being rescued by its main lender HSBC in a controversial debt-for-equity swap that saw it taken off the stock market.
The camera giant's collapse comes after consumer electricals chain Comet hit the wall last year, sparking more than 6,000 job losses.
There was speculation that suppliers such as Canon were considering injecting cash into Jessops last year to help prop the business up, but no deal materialised.
The group last year also suffered the loss of its chief executive Trevor Moore, who left to head up HMV, as well as its chairman David Adams.
Martyn Everett was then appointed as chairman and Neil Old was promoted to lead the business as chief operating officer.
The firm began life in 1935 when Frank Jessop opened his first shop in Leicester.
Mr Hunt added that it was "an extremely sad day for Jessops and its employees".
what do you think?
Vladtheinhaler .
Another one bites the dust. Just another victim of the bankers... did i say bankers , i meant w........ Tea time.
Alex Thompson
How are they a victim of bankers? They are victims of better and better camera phones and online shopping.
Colin Tiso
I went to jessops to buy a nice digital camera i was pounced on by the staff saying this and this so i walked out i bought the camera on amazon for £50 cheaper than jessops
Colin. Simple economics wins every time
Unbelievable! They have been going over 70 years and all of a sudden they have close. A fine year this is going to be the Xmas decorations are barely back in their hideyholes when we are hit by this! What I would like to know is when will the longawaited GOOD NEWS arrive.
toby wright
another 1,370 unfotunate shirkers then
Vladtheinhaler .
They will now be classed as playstation bums, or plasma screen scroungers, by the tories on here. We never know what is around the corner, so thank god we have some sort of benefit system.
Lorgar Aurelian
Don't be so dramatic. It's no fault of their own and they have put in so they are free to claim whatever benefits they are entitled to. At least they will go and look for a job. It's the ones that don't that annoy.
Mel Heatwole
Hardly 'shirkers' are they? They have been made redundant through no choice of their own. Have some compassion!
Gurdeep Sira
Dont be a plonker!
I think Toby was being ironic.
James R McCulloch
When secondhand stock lines were dispensed with a lot of core customers left, never to return they took their custom elsewhere. Jessops were better known for it's secondhand stock lines and many a amateur cut their teeth on nearly new equipment. Long gone now. Bye bye Jessops, a victim of their own making.
blue side
This is again a nail in the high street by online shoppers. Retailers overheads are making them uncompetitive. Nice day with this and Honda thats at least 2000 jobs gone
Lorgar Aurelian
Thing is Blue, shopping online is a much better experience. When you don't have to queue or put up with "have a nice day" it's a no-brainer. Sad but true.
On line shopping is a pain in the rear. If it doesn't work, fit, wrong item sent etc. you then have to send it back usually via the post office. If your lucky you might get free posting back. If not you get ripped off by royal mails expensive prices to send the item back at your expense.
Blue side. I think you are right. Peoples shopping habits have changed dramatically and high street stores are reaping the consequences
Nick Eaton
touble is people dont have time as the comoanies want them to work late and weekends and holidays so the only time they have to shop is on line as it dont shut

Tories not buying enough cameras is the problem then?
Michael Hawkins
Bryan I was not aware that the Tories were responsible for internet shopping and the Digital cameras If they have done that they will get my vote next time
Jessops was bad from bottom to top. The staff were rude and always tried to pull a fast one on the unsuspecting. Karma's bitten them in the rear. A lot of the smaller local camera shops are now breathing collective sighs of relief. Mind, Jessops killed off a lot of profitable smaller local camera shops too.
Chris Carr
I agree. I have visited a number of Jessops stores and found the service to be rude and indifferent. The products are not competitively priced. I wold much rather support the one man local shop where someone will talk to you sensibly about you needs and not look down their nose at you because you aen't a geek.
Lads. I don't dispute what you say and have had experience of poor service from Jessops on line store myself. But there is no getting away from it 1370 people who had jobs on Friday won't have then come Monday morning and that is not something to celebrate.
Very sad the loss of these jobs and demise of yet another long standing company. The change in management style to target driven sales, increased prices, and expansion to too many outlets(greed) instead of maintaining and expanding their core products as technology changed but keeping their well established image of qood quality and customer service.
Katie Kidd
Awwwwwwwww what a shame.
Anthony Smith
Never heard of them
Raymond Castle
Just before christmas our Jessops opened up a nice new store in a, reasonably, new shopping precinct. I can't begin to imagine how much it all cost what with brand new stock, at least 6 new shop workers, decorating of shop, and rent of same. Surely somebody in the loop new what was around the corner and yet they still did it!
Nick Eaton
Yes I bet they did like the investors who closed down the Homeform group and made many a homeowner lose money for their kitchens & bathrooms (dolphin & Moben) They new what was going to happen ages befor and were sending their top sales people to Germany to learn about the "new products"
In spite of all the reasons in the media they went cos they had too much debt. And they couldnt repay it. Basic business. Nothing to do with cameras
Paul Walsh
I thought their business was cameras! Debt came from borrowing to buy at a discounted price, then not being able to sell as they were still too expensive! Basic business model for failure, bad management, bad decisions! Everything to do with cameras!
Brian Holmes
The simple reason is the cameraphone. I am an amateur photographer who owns a "proper" camera with extra lenses etc. and I have to say that I am often astounded by the quality of photos from cameraphones, especially the iphone. Digital SLRs are now a niche market and will remain so no matter what the price.
Desperate news. Another 1370 people who end up as colateral damage when a firm goes to the wall. With on line shopping and more new technology arriving on a daily basis I fear they will not be the last. High overheads and a change in peoples shopping habits will see to that
Very sad Dave but I could see it coming. Our home technology put paid to these stores.
Martin Beadle
hard working tax payers one day. workshy benefit scroungers the next. hmmmm......
Michael Hawkins
Possibly if they had been hard working the company would not have gone bust ?
Michael, well you've not disappointed us with that comment.
lol mcr
Wow Michael, a new low
Nick Eaton
why blame the workers Michael, It was more than likely the upper managment that caused it to crash. You allways find someone at the bottom to blame .If there aint no one out there to sell to who then do you sell to ?we are all to blame by shopping on the Web looking for the cheapest deal .What goes around comes around catch 22 me thinkls
Michael, sales assistants have no control over the global economy, overheads and boardroom decisions, not to mention the advent of hi-spec camera phones.
Who to blame-Microsoft,Apple,cameras are bulky items ther're not required anymore,except by photographers.
Gone in a flash !
Martin Peacock
A sad loss to the high street. Condolences to those who have lost their livelihood.
Fred Spoons
Oh God; not another clearance sale?

Series: Understanding Evolution
This blog series by Dennis Venema undertakes the task of clarifying numerous aspects of evolution that often become misconstrued by Christians. He first discusses the idea of speciation in a population over time, later applying it to the speciation process that occurred among hominids (human ancestors) which led to modern humans. He continues to support this idea by exploring so called "Mitochondrial Eve,""Y Chromosome Adam" and other compositional clues of the human genome.
Series: The Human Fossil Record
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Humanity as and in Creation
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Series: Decoding ENCODE
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
David Lack and Darwin's Finches
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.
Being Human (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the current anthropological understanding of human evolution, which takes into account research into both physiological and cultural developments among our ancient ancestors.
Hominids Lived Millions of Years Ago, but How Can We Tell? (Videocast)
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
Is There "Junk" in Your Genome? Part 4
Now that we have covered significant ground with respect to what various classes of pseudogenes are and how they arise, we are now able to properly evaluate antievolutionary arguments put forward in an attempt to discredit these lines of evidence for evolution.
Where is the Genetic Evidence for Evolution?
The discovery of DNA has revolutionized our understanding of common descent, particularly in the past few decades. Mutated genes spread through populations over generations, leading to evolutionary change. In this podcast, we look at several examples of genetic evidence for evolution.
Series: Evidences for Evolution
This technical series, co-written by Darrel Falk and David Kerk, looks into the evidence for evolution in order to dispel doubts that people may have about this well-supported theory. They look at three things specifically: the separate methods which reveal of the age of the earth, the unfolding history of whale evolution, and finally the common trends of heart development in vertebrates.
Series: New Limbs from Old Fins
Stephen Matheson presents common descent by evolution as the best explanation for the universal pattern found in tetrapod limbs. He discusses initially the evolution and development of limbs in specifically vertebrate tetrapods. He looks at the question of origins and further digs into amazing fossil discoveries. He then gives evidence of evolution from fish to tetrapods by discussing the similarities in the anatomy, development, and genetic systems associated with this amazingly common pattern in vertebrate appendages.
NPR'S Adam and Eve Story
All science can say is that there was never a time when only two people existed on the earth: it is silent on whether or not God began a special relationship with a historical couple at some point in the past. This subtle but extremely important point was missed entirely in the NPR story.
Series: The Cambrian "Explosion", Transitional Forms, and the Tree of Life
Many evolutionary critics have identified the Cambrian Explosion as a stumbling block to the theory of evolution, arguing that the "expected transitions between major invertebrate phyla are absent, and that the suddenness of their appearance in the fossil record demonstrates that evolutionary explanations are not viable." Keith Miller argues that the Cambrian Explosion is not so problematic as these opponents claim after all.
Series: Genetics, Theology, and Adam as a Historical Person
Denis Alexander begins this five part series by discussing both what a model is and whether it is appropriate to use one when building a bridge between scientific truths and theological truths. Providing evolutionary facts about the origins of humans as well as discussing the origin and meaning of Adam in Genesis, he constructs what he calls a Retelling model and a Homo divinus model. Both approaches, he concludes, "suggest that human evolution per se is irrelevant to the theological understanding of humankind made in the image of God."
Made in the Image of God: Theological Implications of Human Genomics
The tenth anniversary of the human genome has been marked by some striking new genetic insights into human evolution and diversity. Do these new discoveries have any significance for the dialogue between science and religion?
Signature in the Pseudogenes, Part 1
One interesting feature of looking at genomes is that often we can find the mutated remains of once-functional genes. These are called pseudogenes, or "false genes." Pseudogenes might be part of a shared backstory for two species, or they might crop up independently after two species go their separate ways.
Signature in the Synteny
In some ways, comparing the DNA sequence between related organisms is like reading alternative history novels. The hypothesis of common ancestry between similar organisms makes a very straightforward prediction about their genomes...
Does Genetics Point to a Single Primal Couple?
Is the human race descended from one ancestral pair in the recent past? Are we, as C.S. Lewis puts it in his Chronicles of Narnia, the "sons of Adam and daughters of Eve"?

Sail-World.com : Hydroptere team takes advantage of winter season
Hydroptere team takes advantage of winter season

Following an eventful year and a first summer spent in the USA, the Hydroptere team of Alain Thébault is taking advantage of the winter season to fine-tune their technological and sports program. The partner search continues.
In 2012, the winter was quickly over. Just sponsored by a French group, Hydroptere aimed to break the Transpacific Record between Los Angeles and Hawaii. The new geographical parameters required an upgrade of the 'F1 of the seas' to a '4x4 of the oceans.'
At La Ciotat, in the south of France, the technical team worked seven days a week at the metamorphosis of the boat. The carbon bird left France in late May. 'These were some of the most intense and rewarding winter works that I knew,' said Warren Fitzgerald, the Boat Captain.
Hydroptere started sailing in Los Angeles in mid-July. Unfortunately the weather was not appropriate; the only favorable weather windows were already finished. The team trained for a month in southern California and then went to San Francisco to greet the America's Cup World Series sailboats.

Hydroptere encountered up to three meter high waves and thirty knots of wind at 'Point Conception', the difficult part of the California coast. In the cold and the tumult of the Pacific Ocean, the flying trimaran went from the desert climate of Los Angeles to San Francisco fog. Apart from the wind angles, it gave the sailors a good foretaste of what they could expect on their way to Hawaii. The Golden Gate Bridge was passed at night, under the sound of foghorns. 'Wonderful memories. We were really exhausted, and despite the cold, we were all on the deck to contemplate the pillars of this red metal giant' recalls Jacques Vincent, co-skipper.
In San Francisco, the autumn was there but still no appropriate weather window to Hawaii appeared. The hope for a record attempt this season disappeared. Never mind, Hydroptere sailed in the bay and shared its technology with the American public. Some stars of the Silicon Valley and of the America's Cup went on board and the team of Alain Thébault took the opportunity to establish a small local record of 37.5 knots of average speed over one nautical mile. 'Just a wink to the competitors; we hope that this record will be broken and that we will be able to come back and defend it next autumn,' jokes Alain Thébault, skipper and designer of Hydroptere.
In early November, the title partner of the team for three years announced his early withdrawal. The postponement of the record attempt disrupted the schedule and no longer corresponded to its objectives. Before Christmas holidays, Hydroptere was sheltered in the bay of San Francisco and the search for new partners began.
The team of Hydroptere is currently working on a development program over five years with a double clear objective: offshore racing and pure speed.

In the short term, Hydroptere has to gather as much experience as possible in the Pacific and aims to demonstrate that sailboats can fly offshore. The Transpacific record attempt is still scheduled for the coming summer and this will be followed by a public relations campaign to introduce the trimaran to the public. 'It's amazing how this boat continues to make people dream; this technology still fascinates a lot. Hydroptere is the only boat able to sail offshore and to take guests to nearly 50 knot' says Yves Parlier.
In the medium term, the team wants to start building a prototype of pure speed, inspired by the recent works of Vestas Sailrocket. 'The supersonic sailing barrier was crossed thanks to Paul Larsen. Now the target has to be an average of 80 knots' explains Alain Thébault.
In the longer term, finally, Hydroptere 2, a trimaran that will be a synthesis of Hydroptere performance and of those of the best conventional maxi-multihulls, will aim to cross the Atlantic in three days and to exceed the legendary barrier of the thousand nautical miles in 24 hours.

'We have considerable experience in the field of foils and high speed. With these three challenges, we have enough to fill an ambitious program over five years. Technology and pioneer spirit will always be the core of the project. We take advantage of the winter to gather skills, to get various sources of advice and we are working diligently to develop a global roadmap. The objective is to get a first series of support before spring to consolidate the process,' says Alain Thébault.
Alain Thébault will be present at the Düsseldorf boat show (BOOT) on Sunday 20th and Monday 21st January, and he will talk during two conferences about the future of multihulls and the new challenges of high-speed sailing.

This thread turned gay
It's pretty sad when these guys get up there pushing middle age and they're still behaving (and dressing) like they were when they were in their 20's .... I saw a news story on Dee Snider a few weeks ago, and he was at some gig with Twisted Sister....The dude was a complete mess!!..He looked like a Blonde Eliot Offen.. He was beyond disturbing looking... He looked like an 80 year old hag wearing a leotard, with a make-up caked into his wrinkled, droopy face ....I just cant imagine who'd pay money to see that trainwreck...
Wow that was fast
I didn't see anyone twiddling their thumbs though
My first thought was why in the fuck do you have fireworks in a building?
I just saw people getting out of the way coughing and panicked. I saw a person staying at the door taking off his jacket continuing to help. As well as others helping.
I would hate to be caught in that shit. However, I don't like that music, never would have listened to it in high school, shit sucks.
This is why you're statement was asinine. By your own admission LAFD isn't 3-4 minutes not to mention the rest of Cali and neither is your beloved OCFD. I also said I was just curious if you knew their schedule. That's my own curiosity. I believe it used to be 1 week on 1 week off when my roommate was in the academy. I have 3 friends here that are firefighters and they work 2 days every 6 days.
When I refer to "Cali ", I'm obviously indicating the area in which I live...I don't have a beat on the entire 163,000 square miles of the state... Nor do I have the departmental policies of every fire agency in my area memorized ...One would think that bit of information would be a given, but (apparently) this went over your head....
I read the newspaper daily & watch 1-2 hours of news per day. (On top of what I hear on the radio to & from work)...I'm well up to date on the fiscal goings-on of the bureaucracies in my topographic vicinity, and am also good friends with 3 different Fire-Fighters ....I don't pull statements such as these out of my ass & then present the turds as fact. Your reality is clearly different than mine.... I'll stand by my statements (as always). ...God bless

Series: Excerpts from "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution"
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Does Resurrection Contradict Science?
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
Searching for Motivated Belief: Introducing John Polkinghorne
Several times in my series of columns about "Science and the Bible," I briefly discussed a few ideas from John Polkinghorne, one of the leading Christian thinkers of our time. Although I presented him mainly as a representative of the "Theistic Evolution" (TE) view, much of his published work is about other topics, several of them largely or entirely unrelated to TE. It's time we got better acquainted with him.
A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Series: A Faith Journey in a Medical Science Career
(Needs a summary)
Dissonance and Harmony
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
Creator of the Stars at Night
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
Series: Confronting Our Fears
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
Growing in Faith
As he endeavored to learn more, David was intrigued by Francis Collins book The Language of God because Francis did not present evolution as a rival theory to Christian faith, but as something that described God's method of creation.
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
Did David Hume "Banish" Miracles?
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
Series: Divine Action in the World
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
David Lack: Evolutionary Biologist and Devout Christian
Charles Darwin's personal struggles and ultimate rejection of Christianity are well documented, and people are eager to link his loss of faith to his evolutionary theory. David Lack, on the other hand, began his scientific career as an agnostic, but shortly after publishing his famous book on the evolution of "Darwin's finches", he converted to Christianity.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
Series: Science and the Bible: Concordism
In this series, Davis identifies core tenets or assumptions about the view of concordism, beginning with propositions about the Bible before concluding with a short historical commentary.
For the Love of the World: John Stott and His Passion for Creation
Some criticized John for his theistic evolutionary position and even his appreciation for Darwin. But Stott saw no contradiction between his own commitment to the authority of Scripture and his openness to God's use of evolution in His creative process.
Series: The God Who Acts: Robert John Russell on Divine Intervention and Divine Action
Does God need to supernaturally "intervene" in order to bring about the diversity of life that we observe today? Is that kind of action different from God's ordinary action? We begin our three-part series with Robert John Russell's description of how views of divine action have changed throughout history, excerpted from his book Cosmology: From Alpha to Omega. Part 2 addresses why "intervention" in the natural world is a problem philosophically, theologically, and scientifically; and Part 3 explains Russell's own theory of divine action in the natural world.
A BioLogos Response to William Dembski, Part 1
We think that God created all living organisms, including humans, through the evolutionary process. But acceptance of creation through evolution does not mean that we reject the notion of a miracle-working God. On the contrary...
Letting God Out of the Box
I found myself in a very awkward situation. On the one hand I was a follower of Jesus Christ who loved the Bible, knew that it was God's Word, and, therefore, not full of lies. However, I also was someone who had loved science for many years and was planning on pursuing a career in research...

multiple selectors
I have noticed in stylesheets that people target many different selectors like this
div#content ul li
but when they target links they seperate with commas
a:link, a:hover, a:active
why the commas?when there is no commas it will apply that style to the child in that exact order of coding. so for your example it will apply it to a list item in an unordered list within a div with id=content.
ie:

here is a list:

so the style will only be applied to the
 tag, but the
 tag will not have this style applied
The commas serve to break the reading of the css so the same style can be applied to multiple tags with only one statement. So in your example a:link and a:hover and a:active will have the same style.I think Adam had a pretty good explanation. In short, a comma separates two entirely different selectors. We just use them so we don't have to write the same attributes twice.a { color: blue; }
li { color: blue; }
Becomes:a, li { color: blue; }

Hi guys,
first of all, great work with SI, it's excellent!
I found myself in bit of a problem. In a related post http://forum.springsource.org/showth...p-batch-engine I am trying to figure out a way to get spring batch and si running and its going quite well.
What I'm unsure off is how to activate services without making them and final endpoint or changing the payload.
The flow:
1) I have the original message from RabbitMQ
2) transforming it into a Properties object for ease of handling
3) downloading a file with a service using a property
4) launching a job (with job parameters from the Properties object) and do stuff with the file
5) add responses on a Queue channel, send files back
However the problem seams to be that I can't really fire up a service that returns a File Object (which I'm not using) but retain the original message for the next service in line, that needs the original message.
Any way of doing that? (Tried claim check, but it seams to remove the message and I need it just persisted for later use) Should I use just a custom solution?

A Watchlist of GARP Stocks
Lee is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
As a financial blogger it's always useful to keep a watch list of stocks for readers to keep an eye out for. I love reading others' lists and seeing if there is anything interesting I hadn't thought of on it. I tend to favor growth at reasonable price (GARP) investing so the majority of the stocks in this article will be GARP candidates.
With this in mind I decided to do a mini-review of some of the stocks I've been writing about. You can find the stocks that did well linked here and the bullets I dodged linked here. In this article I want to focus on the ones that got away, my regrets/opportunities and the stocks that I liked but thought were too expensive.
The Ones That Got Away
These are stocks that I have written positively about and liked but for some reason haven't got around to buying. They have actually done quite well. I have no excuses here. This is purely down to either indolence or me trying to be 'smart' by waiting for a dip. The lesson learned here is that if you like a stock and its valuation then just go ahead and buy it. Leave market timing to the gamblers.
Stock | Link | Return Since Article |
GOOG Link | 17.3% | |
Discover Financial Services | DFS Link | 13.5% |
Church & Dwight | CHD Link | 4.3% |
V.F. Corp | VFC Link | 10.3% |
I like Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) and think the company is managing the transition to mobile internet usage very well. Its dominant position in mobile search plus its integrated services across many platforms will enable it to continue to generate strong growth and huge cash flows for years to come. I think the trend towards e-commerce is inexorable and crosses national and cultural factors.
Maybe it's because I use Adsense in my blog that I can see that North American ad revenue per user tends to be higher than anywhere else. However, there is no reason why other countries can't and won't increase these metrics to close to what North America does. All of which spells huge growth potential for Google, and I think long term prospects are excellent.
Church & Dwight (NYSE: CHD) is a stock I've held and sold out of when it hit my price target. It dipped recently on a relatively poor set of results but I think its 'recession proof' story remains compelling. The poor performance was actually limited to one product line (Orajel) and the company believes it has rectified the situation through product innovation. Management did not lower internal forecasts. Such conditions usually create buying opportunities but alas I wasn't quick enough to catch it.
With regards Discover Financial Services I was hoping to catch a dip and for some reason it slipped off the radar for the few early days in June when it did. I missed it and it has surged ever since. V.F.Corp is different tale but emanates from the same desire to be too smart. I like the company a lot but I tried to guess some weakness in an upcoming report which might then have created a good buying opportunity. They raised guidance. Enough said.
Regrets & Opportunities
Stock | Stock Link | Return Since Article |
Check Point Software | CHKP Link | -23.2% |
F5 Networks | FFIV Link | -27.2% |
Equifax | EFX Link | .1% |
CVS | CVS Link | -.2% |
Riverbed | RVBD Link | .2% |
It's been a tough summer for technology, and holding Check Point Software and F5 Networks (NASDAQ: FFIV) hasn't been my finest hour. However, I happen to believe that both are undervalued and took the opportunity to buy some more. At some point sentiment will change. We all know that tech faces some economic headwinds but I simply don't believe that holding a stock (Check Point) that generated 9% of its current enterprise value (EV) in 2011 and has double digit growth prospects is a bad idea. Similarly, despite some caution from its customers, F5 Networks is still set for high teens earnings growth. Sticking to the cash flow theme, by my calculations it has just generated 6.1% of its EV in free cash flow. Does it really deserve the trashing the market has given it?
The story at CVS (NYSE: CVS) is one that I believe demonstrates how short term the market can think sometimes. Somehow the fact that Walgreens and Express Scripts have resolved their difference has created a catalyst whereby every money manager shifts out of CVS and into Walgreens because that is the 'hot money' trade. Frankly, I think they are wrong. Don't underestimate customer inertia; once a customer shifts to CVS I think they will do everything they can to keep him/her. The company is indicating 50% retention of the customers that shifted over but my hunch is that there will be some upside to this number. Moreover, the stock is well placed to increase margins via higher sales of generics and private label products.
Good But Weren't Cheap
Stock | Stock Link | Return Since Article |
Allergan | AGN Link | -7.6% |
TJX Companies | TJX Link | 9.8% |
Estee Lauder | EL Link | 1% |
Perrigo | PRGO Link | 6.4% |
Novo Nordisk | NVO Link | 7.2% |
Cree | CREE Link | -6.5% |
Interestingly, Allergan has had a pullback and it could be time to take a close look again. TJX Companies is a super company and a great way to play the 'trading down' trend within clothing and home ware. The company is executing on all fronts but it does look fully priced in for now. The sector isn't without competition and, when stocks have this kind of run, any disappointment will hit them hard.
Perrigo (NASDAQ: PRGO) is another story that has really captured investors' attention. Private label OTC health care and nutritional products (as mentioned above with CVS) are categories that will experience strong growth for years to come. Unfortunately, I think it is more than fully priced into Perrigo's share price. I see no reason to pay an EV/EBITDA multiple of 15 for this stock, despite how attractive it is.

I don't hunt archery but I know a few guys who do. They seem to take an elk every other year or so. Rogue and Dixon units are where they hunt. They come across a few cougars too.....fyi.
There are plenty of opertunities OTC. Most of the state is that way, most of the limited draw units are that way due to hunting preassure not trophy potential. There are good bulls in any unit in the state, rain forest to desert, you choose. I usually hunt the Cascades less hunting preassure, lots of elk!

His virtually tearless admission of doping could likely have litigants lining up against him like cyclists at the start of the Tour de France.
Already several are suing or say they will sue.
The new federal lawsuit does not specify how much Stutzman and Wheeler are seeking.
But it does ask for "any statutorily permissible damages, attorneys' fees, expenses and costs."
In other words, a lot more than the price of the book.
Stutzman, who is a former deputy chief of staff for former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, said he was duped into reading Armstrong's book, drawn in by the cyclist's compelling life story.
And the lawsuit says he even met Armstrong years before the confession.
"At that time, Stutzman thanked Defandant Armstrong for writing his book and told him it was very inspiring and that he recommended it to friends who were fighting cancer," the lawsuit said. "In response, Armstrong thanked Stutzman."
Had they known Armstrong's accounts were lies, the suit says, they wouldn't have bought the book -- or they'd have enjoyed it less.

Making the Jump, Part II | Tweet |
Written by Ryan Van Horne | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Saturday, 11 September 2010 11:32 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I am in a 22-team keeper league, and for years I drafted guys based on their highest projected upside because I was trying to build a championship team. The strategy worked as I was able to collect a stable of prospects that helped form the core of my team last year. I was also able to trade some of them for immediate help or upgrade at a few positions. Long-term, those trades weren't wise, but in my league – which has carry-over statistics – the price for talent at the trade deadline is high, especially for goalies. (Note: carry-over statistics means you acquire a player's previous stats when you trade for him). You need to put a lot of assets on the table to get the horses you need to win. Sometimes, a player's NHL readiness will trump the higher upside of a player who's further away from making it. Last year, when I was close to contending, and this year -- when I'm trying to defend my title -- my draft strategy is different. Long ago, I learned the lesson about drafting for need (Thank you very much for stinking it up, A.J. Thelen) and always try to collect the best asset. For a building team, the player with the highest upside is always the best pick, but that's not necessarily the case for a GM who is near the top. The reason the prospect with the highest upside isn't necessarily the best asset in my league is that some GMs in my league don't value young prospects the same way as others. We can draft anybody – even before the NHL drafts him, so it forces you to do your research on young players. This can be a lucrative strategy if you're patient, but many GMs are only interested in NHL prospects or young players that are establishing themselves in the NHL or lighting it up in the AHL. It's not a wise strategy if you're hoping to parlay those draft-day treasures into veteran help at the deadline. As Jeff Angus and Mike Colligan wrote, you need to know the mentality and preferences of the GMs in your league. There is no point trying to hammer a square peg into a round hole. Another factor at play, as Jeff mentioned in his column in this year's guide, is that "proven players have significantly more value than unproven players." That's a fact of fantasy hockey that you have to accept if you're going to trade prospects. Last year, I found the market for Eric Tangradi was soft because he wasn't tearing it up in the AHL as a rookie. This year, he's expected to earn a spot with the Penguins and I'm happy to have him. Last year was a good time to buy low on Tangradi, but that time might be over. He was a good pick for me in a keeper league, but not a one-year league. With that in mind, here is Part II of Making the Jump. See Part I here for some sleeper picks in the Western Conference who can step into your lineup this year. I've left out some of the high-profile prospects that most people should already be aware of such as Jordan Eberle, Taylor Hall, Jonathan Bernier, Magnus Paajarvi, and Mikael Backlund. Here are a few players that I've targeted for my watch list and I will be watching them closely during training camp to see if they can help me this year or become easily tradable assets this year. Anaheim – I like the big centre from Boston University and his clutch play, but his skating will hold him back a bit. Since he made his NHL debut last year, though, Ryan Getzlaf's ankle has healed and Saku Koivu has re-upped for two years with the Ducks. I like Bonino's chances as a pro, but not so much with the Ducks unless he changes position. The former Sharks pick stands a better chance as a winger, so if it looks like he's getting an audition in the top six on the left side, that will boost his value. Calgary – My colleague Justin Goldman is high on Henrik Karlsson and so am I. While I don't expect him to beat out Miikka Kiprusoff, he is an injury away from a No. 1 role. I think Calgary would like to use Karlsson as a backup because he's a more seasoned pro and that would allow them to leave Leland Irving in the AHL and get No. 1 minutes. At 26, Karlsson has lots of pro experience in Sweden and makes an intriguing sleeper pick if the NHL's most durable goalies gets injured. With at least 74 games played in each of the last five seasons, it's also possible Calgary might want to dial back Kipper's playing time to keep him fresh in case they make the playoffs. Chicago – I've written about him earlier this summer, but I'm keeping my eye on d-man Brian Connelly. Chicago gutted their roster during the offseason to get under the cap and they are looking for cheap solutions everywhere. Also, keep an eye on Bryan Bickell in training camp. Kyle Beach is the more highly-touted left wing prospect in the Chicago system, but they might prefer to keep the former first-rounder in the AHL for some seasoning. According to CapGeek.com, Bickell's cap hit is $541,666 – that's less than half of what Beach's is at $1,170,833. Minnesota – Casey Wellman garnered a lot of attention from teams last spring when he was a free agent coming out of the University of Massachusetts after he scored 23 goals and 45 points in 36 games. The right-winger played 12 games for the Wild last season and is a Martin Havlat injury away from a role in the top six. Long-term, the skilled finisher has some good upside, too. Phoenix – Most know about Oliver Ekman-Larsson, and he's a good guy to go after, but I don't expect him to get a lot of chances to produce as a rookie under Dave Tippett. The ability and the upside are there, but you'll need to be patient. Maxim Goncharov is less well-known, but is also promising. He's also two years older than Ekman-Larsson and might have the edge in experience that will get him into the lineup sooner. He's played three seasons on Russia's top league compared to Ekman-Larsson's two years in the Allsvenskan -- Sweden's second-tier league. San Jose – The Sharks have developed a trend of easing a guy into their lineup for half a season to groom him for a full-time spot the next season. Dobber predicts this year that guy will be Cam MacIntyre, and if the burly right-winger can stay healthy, he's a good fit because he provides some of what San Jose is missing. Other candidates include Steve Zalewski and Benn Ferriero. Ferriero started off with a bang last year before fizzling. He notched 50 points in 58 AHL games and his versatility will help him. Zalewski produced in the AHL, too, but the Sharks are running out of room to put all these guys they've graduated to the big club (Bernier, Pavelski, Setoguchi, McGinn, and Couture). A nice darkhorse pick on defence could be Justin Braun. The UMass graduate had 31 points in 36 games last year and the Sharks have shown they're not scared to play a young kid on defence and give them prime minutes. He'll have to bump out a guy like Jason Demers, but it bears watching. Write comment

Peyton Manning is used to being the big man on campus and he's milking his last chance at being the center of attention.
Teams are lining up for the chance to land the prized but damaged Manning. Word from NFL sources has it that he hadn't thrown or been given a physical yet, unheard of in the NFL.
Arizona and Denver are the front runners, but Manning has confirmed that he will be meeting with the Tennessee Titans and the Dolphins this week. Manning returning to Tennessee, his home away from home, shows that he wants to be admired more than win.
Miami is the best situation for him if he wants to make a Super Bowl run. Denver and Arizona are looking to either fill seats or rid themselves of a quarterback they so don't want.
Manning put the lights on at the Super Bowl, trying to outshine the event itself and now is dragging a process that should have been all but wrapped up long ago.
Of course the grand wizard of attention has to visit every team that puts their hand up.
The sad thing is that most don't realize that Manning could have stayed in Indianapolis if he restructured his enormous contract.
He didn't care about Colts fans and he won't care wherever he goes. Why? He's Peyton Manning sillyhead.
Manning is the top reason the Colts had to dismantle their team, with all those years of demanding to be paid the best and ringing the cash register til it broke. Here's the funny thing about this: teams are lining up just for the chance to woo the king.
But is the king still to be feared?
Manning isn't acting like a competitor that wants to catch Tom Brady, little bro Eli or Ben Roethlisberger, He's looking for a way to cash in one more time before he rides off in the sunset.
Only Manning's doctors and Indianapolis medical staff can give input on Manning's condition, and we're sure Peyton's doctors are rubber stamping his bill of health.
Seeing the fact that Indy doctors only have had limited time in evaluating him, Manning holds a huge advantage in controlling the information being given.
Manning doesn't care about winning, he cares about money, and yes, he has a truckload of it, but money equates love in his eyes. If you were to ask who would have been cut between Manning and Brady, Brady would have been the winner. Bill Belichick has a cold heart, but Brady has always taken deals that benefit the Patriots, as well as himself.
Again, Peyton could have stayed where he was loved by the state, but he spurned them in pursuit of gold. So here's the question: Why are teams bending over backwards for a 36 year old quarterback who has had 4 neck surgeries and just fell to the second best QB in his own family?
If that's not enough, why isn't he targeting teams that could help him win a championship to get on par with Brady and his brother? Money, that's why. He wants a comfy situation where the city won't eat him alive once they find out he can't deliver.
The New York Jets would have given up their first born children to land Manning, but he said no. Washington just gave up 3 number one picks and a second rounder to land an unproven college QB. Manning wants to do to another team exactly what he did to Indianapolis - give them little info, making them think he's close to 100% and then taking a boatload of cash in the process.
Manning isn't only a master at calling plays, he's also great at calling shots. As this was being written, the Houston Texans contacted the Manning camp after hearing Tennessee is getting involved.
If Manning has something left in the tank, a team will get a chance of hope, but for how long is anybody's guess.

FC - Quality tested
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For immunofluorescent staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤5 µl per million cells or 5 µl per 100 µl of whole blood. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.Brilliant Violet 570™ excites at 405 nm and emits at 570 nm. The bandpass filter 585/42 nm is recommended for detection, although filter optimization may be required depending on other fluorophores used. Be sure to verify that your cytometer configuration and software setup are appropriate for detecting this channel. Refer to your instrument manual or manufacturer for support. Brilliant Violet 570™ is a trademark of Sirigen Group Ltd.
Clone 53-6.7 antibody competes with clone 5H10-1 antibody for binding to thymocytes3. The 53-6.7 antibody has been reported to block antigen presentation via MHC class I and inhibit T cell responses to IL-2. This antibody has also been used for depletion of CD8a+ cells. Additional reported applications (for the relevant formats) include: immunoprecipitation1,3, in vivo and in vitro cell depletion2,10,15, inhibition of CD8 T cell proliferation3, blocking of cytotoxicity3,4, and immunohistochemical staining5,6 of acetone-fixed frozen sections and zinc-fixed paraffin-embedded sections. The LEAF™ purified antibody (Endotoxin <0.1 EU/μg, Azide-Free, 0.2 μm filtered) is recommended for functional assays (Cat. No. 100716). For in vivo studies or highly sensitive assays, we recommend Ultra-LEAF™ purified antibody (Cat. No. 100746) with a lower endotoxin limit than standard LEAF™ purified antibodies (Endotoxin <0.01 EU/µg).
CD8, also known as Lyt-2, Ly-2, or T8, consists of disulfide-linked α and β chains that form the α(CD8a)/β(CD8b) heterodimer and α/α homodimer. CD8a is a 34 kD protein that belongs to the immunoglobulin family. The CD8 α/β heterodimer is expressed on the surface of most thymocytes and a subset of mature TCR α/β T cells. CD8 expression on mature T cells is non-overlapping with CD4. The CD8 α/α homodimer is expressed on a subset of γ/δ TCR-bearing T cells, NK cells, intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes, and lymphoid dendritic cells. CD8 is an antigen co-receptor on T cells that interacts with MHC class I on antigen-presenting cells or epithelial cells. CD8 promotes T cell activation through its association with the TCR complex and protein tyrosine kinase lck.
