For someone known for her public battles with big industry enemies (most notably director Michael Bay), Megan Fox is actually a sugar-loving peacenik at heart.
Despite starring in "Jonah Hex," a film all about ugly retribution, Fox insists she doesn't even know the definition of the "r" word.
"I cannot talk about retribution," she said at the "Jonah Hex" press day. "I'm all full of candy canes and lollipops. I don't even know what that word means."
The woman who once called Bay a "nazi" downplays her rebellious side.
"The only thing that is rebellious about me is that I don't have any fears as far as this industry is concerned -- and I'll do things that other people are afraid to do or afraid to say," she said. "Am I rebellious? Of course I feel there are many sides to me and to who I am."
Another side we don't know read about with Fox: her domestic goddess side. "Oddly, you wouldn't think it, but I'm very domestic," said Fox. "And that keeps me sane."
Staying away from the Lindsay Lohans and the night crowd keeps her out of trouble.
"I sort of distance myself from the Hollywood crowd," she said. "I don't go out and socialize that way."
She has the same friends today from before she was famous. "My personal relations keep me grounded," said Fox. "I've kept people close to me that I love and I respect and who take care of me.

(This is a repost of an article I made for the Unity blog, which can be found here)
Global Game Jam 2017 recently ended. It was a mad weekend where 36,000 game makers gathered in more than 700 venues around the world, and made 7000 games based on a common theme: "Waves".
Instead of organising in Rome, this year I flew to Prague and made a game with a graphic artist named Jana Kilianová. Our game is called Splash Clash, and it's a 2-player brawler on a tiny island, where two pixel characters jump to produce waves and bump each other out. This final concept is just one of the many we got during brainstorming: for instance, we toyed for a while with the idea of having players produce waves by making a sound in the microphone, but after some experiments we settled for this one – the one that seemed achievable in 48 hours.

Hinduism had been undergoing reformation through all centuries. Whenever it reached a stage where further reformation was unacceptable to those higher in the hierarchy, dissatisfied people formed new religions and flocked to these. Buddhism was one such example. 20th century and 21st century Hinduists tend to believe that all reformation needed in this religion, and possible in this religion, has already happened and nothing more is needed or possible. But it is never al...

Mid-Mission is giving Mid-Market a run for its money.
While the tech-fueled renaissance of central Market Street has generated headlines around the world, a block away the parallel stretch of Mission Street is undergoing its own, much quieter transformation.
Over the past five years, 1,400 new housing units have opened on Mission Street between Fifth Street and South Van Ness Avenue, including 800 studio apartments that landlord Angelo Sangiacomo built between Seventh and Eighth streets.
And there are a lot more coming.
On Mission between Eighth Street and around 10th Street, contractors are pouring floors on three mid-rise residential towers, construction that will bring an additional 500 units to the corridor by the end of 2015.
At 1400 Mission St., Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corp. is building 190 affordable family units. Across the street, at 1415 Mission St., Martin Building Co. is working on 126 apartments, while a block to the east at 1321 Mission St., Berkeley developer Patrick Kennedy is well under way on 160 micro-studios and "micro-suites," half of which will provide housing for students from the California College of the Arts.
Plans for 750 more units
In the past two weeks alone, developers have submitted plans that would add an additional 750 units of housing to Mid-Mission. AGI Avant has proposed 200 units at 1270 Mission St., now home to a pizza place and parking lot. On the current site of Goodwill, there are plans for 550 apartments and a 460,000-square-foot city office building.
"We are hoping that part of Mission Street establishes its own identity, on a smaller scale than Market Street," Kennedy said. "Having a few thousand new residents should help generate fine-grain retail. … There is nothing now on our block but pot clubs."
Those bullish on central Mission Street say it has the potential to be a more intimate alternative to Market Street. While Market has a few big housing projects in the pipeline, the street is dominated by block-long buildings home to big tech companies like Dolby, Twitter, Uber and Square.
In contrast, central Mission will be mostly residential. The street has split zoning: The north side is zoned for 140-foot mid-rise buildings and the south side for buildings 65 feet or less. Eric Tao of AGI Avant said the zoning will help protect the row of former garment sweatshops that line the south side of Mission.
Unique character
"Even as the high-rises get developed on the north side, the south side is always going to retain that unique Mission Street character with smaller, interesting buildings," Tao said.
Tao was an early believer in Mid-Mission. A decade ago the block of Mission between Seventh and Eighth streets was an abandoned Greyhound station and surface parking lots. There was a methadone clinic in the alley and homeless encampments.
"It was pretty God-awful," Tao said.
But when the federal government built its office building on the corner of Seventh Street – an attention-getting structure designed by well-known architect Thom Mayne of Los Angeles firm Morphosis – Tao saw potential. His group joined forces with TMG Partners to build the 260-unit SoMa Grand condominium project.
"We made the probably foolish decision to roll everything we had into that site," he said. "In retrospect, we were a little early."
While that stretch of Mission Street still has its share of boarded-up storefronts, low costs have caught the attention of restaurateurs and their investors.
Places to eat, drink
In 2011, Matt Semmelhack opened AQ Restaurant & Bar at 1085 Mission St. and last year followed up with TBD at 1077 Mission St. The cocktail bar OddJob has opened at 1337 Mission St. Focaccia, part of the San Francisco group of downtown lunch spots, is opening at 1198 Mission St., according to Sangiacomo, the 89-year-old developer and landlord who has been trying to develop the neighborhood since the 1970s.
"They are spending a fortune," Sangiacomo said. "I wanted something really good in there, with sandwiches and salads. This is going to be the best one they've got."
Semmelhack said he was drawn to Mission Street because it offered a combination of low overhead and high potential. "Permits were pulled and there were cranes in the air, but the rent was still cheap," he said.
While AQ started as a destination restaurant, it's now drawing residents from buildings like Nema at 8 10th St. and Ava at 55 Ninth St. "There has been an obvious shift in terms of people being more local," Semmelhack said.
As Mission Street becomes denser, some question whether the city is paying enough attention to its public realm. The street is clogged with buses – the 14, 14L and SamTrans lines – with little space for cyclists. And the intersection of Mission and South Van Ness can be harrowing to cross on foot or bike.
Semmelhack recently joined the board of the Mid-Market Central Business District and has to remind other board members that Mission Street exists.
"Market Street is the No. 1 point of conversation in all the meetings, but I'm always outspoken about Mission Street," he said. "It's an important part of the Mid-Market district and at times it tends to get overlooked."
"Mission Street has been ignored forever," said John Elberling, executive director of Todco, which owns and manages about 1,000 units of affordable housing South of Market.
Gentrification concerns
His group owns residential hotels along Mission Street and is concerned about gentrification, particularly on the blocks on either side of Sixth Street, which has one of the city's biggest concentrations of residential hotels in San Francisco. He said the city needs to look at a Mid-Market development fee that would be invested back into neighborhood improvements.
Neil Hrushowy, general manager of the San Francisco Planning Department's City Design Group, which works to "balance all the functions of a street," agreed that Mission Street has played second fiddle to Market Street.
"After two rounds of community outreach," he said, "we heard strong feedback that we needed a more coherent plan for Mission Street."

It works, but not long. The second display shows after some times wrong characters and some times later there are no more characters.
Ok, I swap the physically addresses. Now I have on both displays the same.
What value terminator resistors are you using?If you use each one separately do they each work ok?--- bill
After changing the numbers in the sketch I have the same as before but now on the other display.
Quote from: -Micky on Apr 23, 2013, 07:42 pmAfter changing the numbers in the sketch I have the same as before but now on the other display.So that suggests it is you code that is wrong, you need to post it all using the correct code tags. If you don't know how to do this the the how to use this forum sticky post.
We don't know for sure which specific display you are using since you haven't provided that information so a lot of what we are providing is speculation.It is time for you to start over again with a simple circuit and sketch that just uses one LCD. If that works OK with each LCD then change the sketch to use both LCDs simultaneously.I would add the other I2C device(s) on next and then the 1-wire device(s). When things stop working you should have a pretty good idea of what caused the problem.Don
I think the reason is the I2C interface. It seems that only one address is possible. 0x20. I will make some changes to the interface and see what happens.

Near the end of February, at an event sponsored by Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce, the invited speaker, Brian Gottlob of PolCon Research, did not curry favor by telling his audience of business people what they wanted to hear. While the business community, and everyone else for that matter, would like to be told that the deep economic recession is at an end, and that the state and the region will now steadily recover in the traditional way into years of prosperity, that's not the way Gottlob reads his economic tea leaves.
Moving ahead to the first week in March, a Chamber audience comprising many of the same people as before, received a rather different message — that Rochester is in good financial shape, and that the city's prospects in the coming year or two, commercially and industrially, are extremely promising.
Since then, the first set of figures for 2013 have been released by the New Hampshire Employment Security (NHES) office. Just like those twin presentations, the January job numbers convey two strands of information that, at first glance, seem to be at odds with each other. The number of jobs held by New Hampshire residents actually rose, although only by a small fraction of a percent, over the past year, but yet the number of unemployed people went up by almost 5,000 people, driving the state's unemployment rate higher.
The explanation for this is that the NH labor force, between January 2012 and January 2013 rose by almost 6,000 people. This brings us to the so called "discouraged" workers — to use the tag that the Bureau of Labor Statistics employs. These are folks who have not actively looked for work in the past four weeks, and, accordingly, are removed from the labor force, to lurk in the statistical shadows like economic zombies. People who have not looked for a job in over a year, by the way, do not even exist in the shadows.
As an aside, we would say these folks are not so much "discouraged" as pragmatic, not wishing to burn up expensive gas driving around seeking jobs that don't exist.
We think that over the past year, as the economic situation has eased a bit in most of the country, this slightly heartening news, trickling out via the media, has tempted the "discouraged" to venture out from hibernation once again, like groundhogs sensing the first days of spring. Thus they get picked up in the January jobless numbers, but, if Gottlob is right, many of these workers are destined for disappointment, for the economist sees no significant New Hampshire job-creating engine, when peering into the future.
We will have to wait until late April to see what effect the mini-surge in the labor force has had on the gap between the U-3 and the U-6 unemployment numbers for New Hampshire for the first quarter of the year.
The U-3 number is the monthly unemployment rate issued by NHES, and it comes in two flavors — unadjusted, which is the most accurate number (and used by the Rochester Times), and seasonally adjusted, the purpose of the latter being to smooth out events like post-Christmas layoffs.
The U-6 number, which takes into account the "discouraged" workers, and the many thousands of people who are working part-time, but who would like full-time jobs, has been running at twice the U-3 rate — 11.2 percent for 2012, compared to the U-3 rate of 5.6 percent — and that's without counting anyone who has not sought work for a year or more.
If the NH economy truly improves as 2013 progresses, more part-time workers will get full-time jobs, and more "discouraged" workers will start looking for jobs and then appear in the U-3 numbers. Thus the U3-U6 gap should start to close.
A couple of recessions ago, as the clouds began to darken, an economist predicted that Rochester would be "an economic hotspot." For the record, it wasn't, but this time, if Rochester officials' cheeriness is justified, it might become one. Thus, it is possible that both they and Gottlob, will be correct in their assessments. The city may grow, economically, while the state as a whole may tread.

The Pentagon said Monday that a prisoner died at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility on Saturday, the eighth fatality at the prison for terrorism suspects since it opened more than a decade ago.
Authorities were withholding the name, nationality and age of the detainee pending notification of his family, according to a statement issued by Joint Task Force Guantanamo at the U.S. naval base in southern Cuba. An autopsy was planned, the statement said, and there was no immediate report on the suspected cause of death.
Guards walking routine patrols of the cellblocks found the prisoner "unresponsive" and transferred him to the Navy base hospital after first aid failed to revive him at his cell, the military said. He was pronounced dead by a hospital physician "after extensive life-saving methods" had been performed, the statement said.
Two of the eight prisoners who have died were said to have succumbed to natural causes; five were suicides.
After the first three suicides in June 2006, in what was seen as a coordinated protest of unlimited detention, the military jailers at Guantanamo instituted a number of suicide-prevention policies, which at least for some months included collecting bed sheets from the cells each morning to deter prisoners from ripping them and fashioning them into nooses.

From the full story:
Big incentive for school attendance: Cash
by Elisa Crouch
Stacey Wright had more than a dozen choices when it came to enrolling three of her children in an elementary school, from charters to magnets to traditional public schools in every corner of the city.
She chose Jefferson Elementary School, the brick St. Louis public school across the street. And for that, she may get $900.
For the first time, a local organization is offering parents a cash incentive to enroll their children at Jefferson. The money is limited to students who didn't attend the school last year. To get it, the kids must finish this semester with near-perfect attendance and receive no out-of-school suspensions; the parent must attend three PTO meetings. The program is being offered to families in three mixed-income housing complexes surrounding the school, where most of the students live.
Paying families for their children's behavior and attendance is part of an ongoing debate in a half dozen cities. Kids themselves also have been paid for everything from grades on tests to the number of books they read. A Harvard University study in July showed that such incentives improve classroom behavior — but they don't necessarily raise test scores. The study looked at incentive programs offered to 38,000 students at 261 low-performing urban schools in four cities.
Proponents say the cash rewards are no different from offering college scholarships to top achievers at a high school, and that low-income families need the extra help. Critics counter that the cash prizes fail to address problems that lead to truancy and poor test scores, such as bad teaching or a dull curriculum.
"It's almost like bribing (the students) instead of correcting the core problems," said Garrett Duncan, an associate professor of education at Washington University.
Rewards in schools are nothing new. Suburban districts for years have offered pizza coupons, tickets to amusement parks and baseball games for those who make the honor roll or read a certain number of books over the summer.
In St. Louis Public Schools, the district has rewarded kids who attend the first day of school by entering them in drawings for tickets to sporting events. Until recently, Maritz Inc., the motivational and corporate travel company in Fenton, gave students at school the first week chances to win a big screen television, stereo equipment, T-shirts and rulers.
The $300 incentive at Jefferson shouldn't be troubling, said William Tate, professor of education at Washington University.
"What they're really saying to these kids is your presence on a regular basis is important," he said. "It's so important we're going to reward you for doing it."
Wright said she's going to do all she can to ensure that she and her three children at Jefferson do their part in earning the $900. Getting to the PTO meetings should be no problem, she said. The money would go a long way to help her family at Christmas, when finances are especially tight.

Pentaho and Hadoop: Big Data + Big ETL + Big BI = Big Deal
Earlier today Pentaho announced support for Hadoop – read about it here.
There are many reasons we are doing this:
- Hadoop lacks graphical design tools – Pentaho provides plug-able design tools.
- Hadoop is Java – Pentaho's technologies are Java.
- Hadoop needs embedded ETL – Pentaho Data Integration is easy to embed.
- Pentaho's open source model enables us to provide technology with great price/performance.
- Hadoop lacks visualization tools – Pentaho has those
- Pentaho provides a full suite of ETL, Reporting, Dashboards, Slice 'n' Dice Analysis, and Predictive Analytics/Machine Learning
The thing is, taking all of these in combination, Pentaho is the only technology that satisfies all of these points.
You can see a few of the upcoming integration points in the demo video. The ones shown in the video are only a few of the many integration points we are going to deliver.
Most recently I've been working on integrating the Pentaho suite with the Hive database. This enables desktop and web-based reporting, integration with the Pentaho BI platform components, and integration with Pentaho Data Integration. Between these use cases, hundreds of different components and transformation steps can be combined in thousands of different ways with Hive data. I had to make some modifications to the Hive JDBC driver and we'll be working with the Hive community to get these changes contributed. These changes are the minimal changes required to get some of the Pentaho technologies working with Hive. Currently the changes are in a local branch of the Hive codebase. More specifically they are a 'SHort-term Rapid-Iteration Minimal Patch' fork – a SHRIMP Fork.
Technically, I think the most interesting Hive-related feature so far is the ability to call an ETL process within a SQL statement (as a Hive UDF). This enables all kinds of complex processing and data manipulation within a Hive SQL statement.
There are many more Hadoop-related ETL and BI features and tools to come from Pentaho. It's gonna be a big summer.

It is 11 months later and I do not see any usage of hadoop in the pentaho 3.8.0 source code. Does this hadoop support actually exist? Does it live in a separate contrib or add-on?

Founding and DevelopmentCopyright: Hochschularchiv
"Mens agitat molem – The Mind Moves the Mass"
The higher education institution does not produce fully qualified practitioners and specialists, but enables its students to assume these roles via the shortest route possible and thereby acquire the necessary science in order to establish themselves.
General advice for people interested in attending a polytechnic. Appendix to the publication Programme des Königlichen rheinisch-westphälischen Polytechnikums zu Aachen. Aachen, 1871, p. 6.
It is Monday, October 10, 1870: a bitter battle is raging in Artenay, France in the midst of the Franco-German war. Meanwhile, in Aachen, a group of young people are entering a new and very peaceful phase of their lives. They are the first to attend Aachen's polytechnic, Königliche Rheinisch-Westphälische Polytechnische Schule zu Aachen, an innovative higher educational institution that will prepare them for their professional future. In the industrializing society of the time, the institution expands the traditional humanistic educational approach with one that is highly practical and oriented toward science.
Mens agitat molem, the mind moves the mass, which is carved in stone at the polytechnic's chemical laboratory, evokes this idea to society and the concept clearly seems to meet a need. The institution started its first academic year in 1870/1871 with a total of 201 students, listeners, and guest students. At that time no one would have guessed that 150 years later it would have turned into the largest technical university in the German-speaking world in terms of student numbers.
The path to this success was however not without its obstacles and this was already apparent in the founding phase. The first ideas on the polytechnic date back to at least 1857, when several cities in the local Rhine area were competing to acquire the attractive educational institution. Aachen was publicly promoted for this since 1858 as the city was the center of Germany's most important industrial region. Cologne and Aachen finally competed head-to-head. The key factor in the decision in Aachen's favor was the outstanding commitment of an equally innovative institution.
Founded in 1825, the Aachener Verein zur Beförderung der Arbeitsamkeit, roughly translated as the Aachen Association for the Promotion of Industriousness, combined progressive civic commitment and entrepreneurship to create a very modern holistic concept. It optimized the industrialization process by linking education and financial returns. The association therefore provided enormous financial backing for initial and follow-up financing. The location was officially settled when the King signed an agreement for Aachen to acquire the sought-after institution on November 14, 1863.
The institution's foundation stone was laid on May 15, 1865, but its specific educational focus was not yet fully established at this point. When it eventually opened, it already had nine departments: mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, pharmacy, civil engineering, surveying, mechanical engineering, and metallurgy. Mining and electrical engineering followed as the first additions later on.
From the very beginning, teaching was structured on a par with other universities. Consequently, ten years after its foundation, it is reestablished as a technical university with a constitution from the Rector's office and the right to pursue a Habilitation, or postdoctoral teaching qualification. Technical universities did not fight for the right to award doctorates until the end of the 19th century, marking a further milestone in their educational emancipation.

"When I was a kid, I used to hide comic books behind my copy of the Bible. Having read FIVE CITIES OF REFUGE, I will now keep it behind my copy of the Bible. It is an invaluable midrash on familiar verses, bringing them alive to contemporary readers. Don't go to synagogue without it. Even if the sermon puts you to sleep, this will keep you awake."
— Alan Dershowitz
Author of The Case for Israel
"If you think everything to be said about the Bible has already been said, pick up this book of weekly reflections. You will find yourself surprised, awed, angry at times, and always engaged. Lawrence Kushner and David Mamet delve into some of the richest and most challenging of biblical texts and come up with original, often unconventional insights. Read it for learning–and for fun."
–Francine Klagsbrun
Author of The Fourth Commandment
"Lawrence Kushner and David Mamet are both study partners and creative spirits who have touched and inspired the lives of thousands during the course of their respective careers. Their collaboration in FIVE CITIES OF REFUGE has produced a work of rare insight, intelligence, and sensibility. Readers of the Bible will be enriched and moved by their reflections. I recommend this book most highly! "

People need practical advice on investing. And many of the articles I write are too theoretical. In fact, many of the questions people ask me are too theoretical.
They want to know about a certain way to value a company should they use todays free cash flow yield, an estimate of future growth out 10 years and then calculate the compound annual stock price rise to reach the future price as if the stock trades at a normal P/E in 10 years, should they calculate net current asset value using the book value of current assets or discounting each of the assets to reflect what theyd realize in liquidation, and so on...
Theres nothing wrong with these questions. And I do try to answer them as best I can.
But, knowing the answer to these questions is not the best way to immediately start improving your actual investing results. Most investors dont need to know more to get better results starting today. They just need to get more out of the knowledge theyve already got.
Thats what I want to talk about today. And hopefully I can keep talking about it over the next few days. Id like to list a few ways you can start seeing better results in your brokerage account using only what you already know.
Settle for Cheap Enough
A lot of people look for the lowest P/E ratios, the lowest P/B ratios, the highest dividend yields, stocks hitting new lows, etc.
Those could be fine stocks. But theyre likely to be controversial. And complicated. And quite possibly outside of your circle of competence. Youll find a couple great stocks in any of those lists.
But its an odd way to start your search. Its extremely limiting in terms of the kinds of companies youre going to get a chance to look at. And in a way its too hard. It asks too much of you. Instead of having a list of companies you know something about and could easily learn more about youve got a list of stocks that are real outliers in some quantitative respective. And thats it. Thats all you have to go on. A number.
For every 10 names you find on a screen, you want to feel just fine throwing 7 of them out. If you cast a wide net if you settle for cheap enough you can get lists of 10 stocks (Ill show you a few in a minute) where there probably are at least 3 names youd feel comfortable researching in earnest right now.
I get a lot of people emailing me about companies involved with for-profit education, medical services dependent on government reimbursement, lawsuits, commodities, etc.
Theres nothing wrong with any of those things if you think you can figure it out. You can focus on absolutely hated stocks if you want to. Theres money to be made there. But youd want to become an expert on the unloved. Likewise, any stock with legal problems is interesting precisely because the accuracy of your analysis of the legal situation may be all you need to know to invest in the stock. It could actually be very simple. If you have a way of understanding the lawsuit.
Ive invested in a company where a lawsuit was critical to the stocks value. But I didnt do it because I found the stock on some screen. I read about the stock and the lawsuit on a blog. And then I went off and tried to learn everything I could about the stock.
Thats fine.
What you need is a very early almost instant feeling of I may not know this now. But given enough time, Im confident I can figure it out. You want to feel that very early in the process. Or youre going to waste a lot of time analyzing a stock from 30 different angles when the one angle that matters is the one you cant reliably figure out.
So extreme quantitative screens are usually not the best starting point. Its better to caste a wider net and then focus on companies where you can get a lot out of reading the 10-K.
Try a screen like one that combines:
Above average dividend yield
Below average P/E ratio
Below average P/B ratio
Look for companies that have the fewest unprofitable years in their past. The stocks that tend to almost always have positive EPS. This will give you a list like:
Friedman Industries (FRD)
Laclede Group (LG)
Communication Systems (NASDAQ:JCS)
American Electric Power (AEP)
Electro Rent (ELRC)
Public Service Enterprise Group (PEG)
Chevron (CVX)
Ingles Markets (IMKTA)
Westar (WR)
Theres probably a company or two on that list you feel is in your circle of competence. Start with the company you expect youll understand best the one that sounds simplest to you and then move out slowly and carefully to the companies you expect to understand less well. Stop when you find something you know is cheap that you also know you can hold as long as it takes.
Thats a Ben Graham type screen I just gave you. But you can apply the same principles to more Warren Buffett type stocks. Or at least more Joel Greenblatt type stocks.
How about we look for cheap enough in terms of:
Return on Investment
I like to think of this as establishing an acceptable limit. Its not a hard cap. But you better have a really good reason for paying an EV/EBITDA over 8. And you better have a really good reason for buying any company with an ROI below 10%.
There are companies you should buy above 8 times EBITDA. And there are times when a business will work out fine in the future even though its been earning a single digit ROI in its past.
But trying to figure those situations out before looking at the simplest situations is like trying to learn to juggle using 3 balls at once. Its not the best way to start.
This is totally arbitrary. But Id suggest an acceptable stock is one with:
Return on Investment > 10%
10 Straight Years of Profits
(When I say profits I always mean operating profits, never just EPS.)
You need a good reason for picking any stock that doesnt fit all of those criteria. You dont want to make a habit of paying more than 8 times EBITDA. You dont want to make a habit of buying into companies that arent growing their value over time but instead earning single digit returns on investment.
So start with the stocks that can check those boxes. Read the business descriptions of each. Start with the businesses you think you can figure out.
That higher ROI menu youd be ordering from would look something like this:
Friedman Industries (FRD)
H&R Block (NYSE:HRB)
Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE:BMY)
Mocon (NASDAQ:MOCO)
Espey Manufacturing (ESP)
Stepan Company (SCL)
Arden (ARDNA)
Deluxe (DLX)
Wal-Mart (WMT)
Becton, Dickinson (BDX)
Its hard to figure out companies with a lot of losses in their past. So dont try. Even when it comes to net-nets look for the companies with the fewest losses in their past.
Start your hunt for net-nets with companies like:
Micropac (MPAD)
Abatix (ABIX)
Lakeland (LAKE)
Paradise (PARF)
TNR Technical (TNRK)
Empire Resources (ERSO)
ADDvantage Technologies (AEY)
Universal Power (UPG)
Im not saying those stocks will outperform a basket of all net-nets. I dont think they will. But I do think you will outperform other net-net investors if you start with stocks like that. Because you can understand stocks like that. You can have the conviction to hold them when they drop.
Most net-net investors will underperform a basket of net-nets. Most magic formula investors will underperform a basket of magic formula stocks.
Thats just the way it works. Picking stocks from lists like these and then letting yourself make additional buy and sell decisions over time will usually result in you doing worse than a completely random basket approach.
There is one way of solving this problem. Familiarize yourself with a few stocks. Get really familiar.
People think insiders are such good investors because they have a lot of inside knowledge they know whats about to happen. I tend to think thats exaggerated. They have information. But a lot of the data on insider trades tends to point more to insiders having strong stomachs.
What insiders have is familiarity. They know the actual company. When it seems like a stock is dropping for no reason they will buy it. Not because they are better at valuing the company. But because they are a little less likely to get caught up in hysteria.
You want to find companies where you can think more like an insider.
You can learn more about how insiders really think by reading:
Can Aggregated Insider Trading Predict the Market?
Can Aggregated Insider Trading Predict Different Sectors?
What youll see in the charts is that insiders do something very smart something individual investors do not do they buy more of the stock they own when it crashes.
While strategies like just randomly buying net-nets do in fact work well if implemented by a computer Ive seen very little evidence humans will have success with the strategy.
Humans do not do well with stocks they really dont know.
For your long-term investing health, its better to find a slightly less cheap but still cheap enough stock you can get familiar with than a super cheap stock that will always remain a mystery to you.
Start with cheap enough. Then learn more about the businesses on that cheap enough list. And buy the ones you are comfortable with.
Im not saying you should give up the statistical search for value. You can always stay in the bottom half of stock valuations and still find companies you understand well.
This is especially obvious in net-net investing. If I write about a stock trading at 90% of its net current asset value someone will say thats not a true Ben Graham net-nets. It needs to be selling for 65% or less of NCAV to be a real net-net.
Anything less than NCAV is cheap enough. Youll have more success with the net-nets you feel most comfortable owning than with net-nets youll get scared out of.
Thats true for other value stocks too.
Some of value investing is in the buying. Most of value investing is in the holding. And almost none of value investing is in the selling.
As long as you are starting with a screen that produces results which as a group will tend to perform better than the market over time, youre doing enough in terms of statistical cheapness.
The next step is to learn about the business. And get comfortable holding the stock.
Because its not just about how the stock does in the future. Its about the result you get in the stock. And that depends on you sticking around to see your investment through.

WASHINGTON -- The NBA-worst Washington Wizards waived center Earl Barron and guard Shaun Livingston early Sunday.
The moves were announced by the Wizards (3-22) about four hours after the team sustained its seventh straight loss, 96-87 at home to the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night.
Barron, who didn't play in the game, was averaging 2.5 points and 3.9 rebounds in 11 games. Livingston, in his second stint with Washington, played 12 minutes on Saturday. He had averaged 3.7 points in 17 games.
The Wizards, who don't play until Wednesday, have 13 players on the active roster. Guard John Wall and forwards Trevor Ariza and Trevor Booker are currently sidelined because of injuries.

The gorgeous nightclub hostess accused of bedding Tiger Woods blasted the story as "ridiculous" and said she's only met the golf star briefly at a bar and later when she sat his party at a table in the trendy Manhattan joint where she worked.
"It's horrible to Tiger's family," Rachel Uchitel told the New York Post. "His wife must feel horrible. The worst part of it, it's not true."
The National Enquirer reported that Woods and Uchitel were hot and heavy just days before the world-famous golfer got into a mysterious one-car accident near his Florida mansion in the early morning hours following Thanksgiving. That incident gave rise to fresh reports that the accident was preceded by a row with his angry wife over the infidelity accusation.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
In Woods' only statement, he called the "embarrassing" crash his fault. "I'm human and not perfect," he wrote on his website. He and his wife, Elin Nordegren, have refused to meet with cops in the aftermath of the accident to address apparent inconsistencies in their story.
Uchitel said she has only met Woods twice and the pair aren't "friends."
Their first encounter was "for two seconds at a bar through a mutual friend," she told the Post. "He was shy and quiet and sitting with someone else."
Her next meeting with Woods was in her capacity as a A-list hostess for The Griffin, a swanky club in Manhattan's Meatpacking District last summer.
"As usual in my job, I got a call from a promoter that he's coming in," she told the Post. "I went outside and brought him and his entire group in, walked them upstairs, introduced him to his waitress.
"I may have asked him if he needed anything. I hung out at the door to make sure they were OK, and when they were ready to leave, I walked them downstairs to the car. That's my job. Then I heard rumors I was making out with him at Griffin, that I had brought him in to Griffin."
Uchitel said fallout from being in the eye of a tabloid storm has hurt her chances of meeting a "nice, normal guy."
"I don't want people to think I am having an affair with Tiger Woods, or that I am trying to leak some story that I'm having an affair with Tiger Woods," she said.
Uchitel also distanced herself from the Enquirer's two sources, calling them "hookers" who made up the affair story.
She was never close to either of them, she said.
One of the Enquirers' sources overheard a phone call where she was asked to help set up a bachelor party Woods planned to attend, Uchitel told the Post.
"The bottom line was I was setting up a table for them, and obviously, I was saying Tiger's name as I was talking on the phone to my contact, " she said. "And when I landed, I found out there was a problem, so for like four hours, I was having a meltdown with [her Vegas contact] and with other people at [the nightclub] to try to get to the bottom of what happened.
"I mean, who are these people?"
