The Shorts Should Feel Right at Home
Chad is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
I don't short stocks. I never have and I don't see a reason that I ever would. That being said, there are certain companies that make me want to change my mind. One such example is KB Home (NYSE: KBH). The company first came to my attention in March of last year when it popped up as the seventh most shorted stock based on percentage of shares sold short at over 36%. I examined the stock then and concluded that KB Home did in fact deserve this designation, and unfortunately for investors, the situation today isn't drastically different. Apparently the shorts agree as the percentage of shares sold short has climbed above 41% as of the end of 2012.
If KB Home operated as a virtual monopoly I could see owning the stock. With the economy slowly improving homebuilders should be a group that does well over the next few years. However, KB Home isn't a monopoly, and almost no matter what company you compare them to, they fall short (pun intended).
Some of the numbers from KB Home's last quarter were encouraging. The company saw revenue increase 20%, homes delivered increased 6%, and net orders were up 4%. In something that's happening across the country, the average selling price of new homes increased. In KB Home's case, the price increased 14% year-over-year. In addition, the company's backlog increased by 35% in dollars and 20% in units. If this sounds like great news to you I would only say, not so fast.
KB Home has two problems that separate the company from its competition. The first is the company's gross margin. In the company's most recent quarter, they reported a gross margin of just 3.22%. While homebuilding is a tough business, none of their peers suffers with this poor of a gross margin. Toll Brothers (NYSE: TOL) admittedly operates in the higher-end housing market and has an industry leading gross margin of 24.6%. PulteGroup (NYSE: PHM) and Lennar (NYSE: LEN) are much closer competitors to KB Home however, and these companies managed 18.21% and 23.5% gross margins at last report. When a company's gross margin is small enough to be worse than some of their competitor's net margins, you know they operate at a disadvantage.
The second issue facing KB Home is their cancellation rate is borderline absurd. KB Home already lagged its peers by a significant amount last quarter with a 29% cancellation rate compared to rates of 4.6% at Toll, 14% at PulteGroup, and 16% at Lennar. This quarter, the company's results were even worse. The current quarter showed a cancellation rate of 35%. This number more than anything is a huge reason to choose another company instead of KB Home.
When you consider that KB Home's backlog growth lags most of their competition, this already puts the company at a disadvantage. If you combine slower backlog growth and a huge cancellation rate, you get future growth numbers that are highly unreliable. The company's cancellation rate is more than double their peers, and this number has been consistently higher than most other homebuilders. Another factor that is working against KB Home is their relatively weak balance sheet.
The company did manage to generate positive free cash flow in the most recent quarter. However, their cash and cash equivalents balance is $567.1 million versus over $1.72 billion in long-term debt. While cash did increase faster than long-term debt on a year-over-year basis, I have to wonder why the company is taking on more long-term debt if they are free cash flow positive? Given that this company was burning through cash until recently, it would seem reasonable to shore up their balance sheet until positive cash flow becomes a consistent pattern. No matter what KB Home does with their balance sheet, one thing investors can't ignore is the difference in valuation between the company and other homebuilders.
If you consider that KB Home has a lower gross margin, lower backlog growth, and higher cancellation rate compared to their peers, you would expect the shares to sell at a discount. However, KB Home shares trade for nearly 160 times 2013 estimates, yet the company is only expected to grow EPS by 4% in the next few years. Though PulteGroup is only expected to grow by 5%, their stock is much more reasonably priced at 16.8 times estimates. Lennar appears to represent an even better value, as the company is expected to grow earnings by 6%, yet has been crushing estimates by over 300% on average in the last year. Lennar also has seen consistent backlog growth, and their cancellation rate was less than half of KB Home's last quarter.
The best value in the industry might be Toll Brothers. Toll does sell for 38 times projected earnings, but with a nearly 25% expected growth rate, the company is in a different class relative to their competition. In addition, Toll has been beating estimates by over 240% on average, and they have the lowest cancellation rate of the group. If you had to choose one homebuilder, I would start with Toll.
Sorry KB Home investors, but your company is underperforming most of its peers badly. With so many better options available, short sellers should feel right at home betting against this stock.

Many of the students at Desert Vista High School know firsthand what happens when the economy tanks and the housing bubble bursts.
"We had to leave California where we were from because we couldn't afford our home anymore," said sophomore Pauline Poleyuptewa.
"It's hard to sell our house in Mesa because we'd lose a lot of money," said senior Nick Metzger.
Stories like these were common among the nearly 800 high school seniors on hand to witness the president of the United States speak Tuesday afternoon. For some, the experience seemed almost surreal. Others looked at the visit as a gesture of good will.
"It's really good to see that he comes out here and he cares about our community," said senior Brandon Immordino.
The president's message left many feeling inspired.
"In America, it doesn't matter what you look like, where you come from or who you love. You should be able to make it when you try," President Barack Obama said.
Those are words many students took to heart.
"I think it's great what he's saying about renting and owning a home because I know my family would really like to own their own home," said Poleyuptewa.

Four passengers on a light-rail train in downtown Phoenix suffered minor injuries when an SUV struck the packed train.
The collision happened Saturday at about 8:45 p.m. as both Arizona Diamondbacks and Arizona Rattlers games were ending.
The SUV's driver, 38-year-old Guadalupe Cobos Jr., showed signs of impairment and fled the scene at Central Avenue and Van Buren Street on foot, according to Phoenix police Spokesman Officer James Holmes.
The extent of the passengers' injuries wasn't available, though police said they complained of pain and were brought to a hospital as a precaution.
Police said Cobos ran a red light before colliding with the train and managed to run away.
An Arizona State University police officer eventually arrested Cobos about four blocks away.
Both the Light Rail train and the SUV sustained extensive damage.

Cemented in every man's memory is a vision of Diora Baird falling on a mattress as part of the iconic montage in 2005's Wedding Crashers. Six years later she seems to have broken free into more legit (read: non-bikini-oriented) roles, like in the upcoming Transit.
It's been a while since the last time you were in Maxim. What have you been up to?
I just finished filming Transit in Baton Rouge. That was fun, but I don't recommend Baton Rouge. I mean, we were shooting outside in the month of August, and my wardrobe of leather jackets and tight black pants…Well, let's say we just had to try to embrace each other's B.O.
How does it feel to play a more action-oriented part?
I definitely prefer to kick ass. I've done the victim thing a bunch. So far nobody's been, like, Who the hell does she think she is? Put her back in a bikini! I keep asking, "When's the scene where I have to rip off all my clothes?"
You do a bit of both in the video for the Black Keys' "Howlin' for You."
It's me getting to be my badass self. Guns, bras, ninja moves, and stilettos. Oh, and I'm Tricia Helfer's sidekick. Need I say more?
What do your tattoos mean?
My only advice is don't tattoo some guy's name on yourself. Ever. I've done it twice. Twice! I'm in the process of getting both removed. It's the most painful thing imaginable.
For more photos and full interview, pick up the latest issue of Maxim on newsstands!

© Copyright 2014 Newton Citizen
COVINGTON -- Covington Police were alerted by Jasper County authorities about 4 a.m. Monday that an ongoing incidence of child molestation had occurred in the city over the past several years.
According to CPD Lt. Paul Daily, the matter came to light after Jasper County Sheriff's Office deputies became involved in what turned out to be a bizarre incident at Alcovy Shores subdivision on Jackson Lake.
CPD detectives were told that an 11-year-old girl told her mother that her stepfather had molested her. When confronted by the mother, the 41-year-old stepfather allegedly admitted the allegations were true.
The family had moved from Covington to Jackson Lake a week ago.
After learning what had happened to her daughter, Dailey said the mother then called for her pastor and his wife, who arrived at the Jackson Lake home about 1 a.m.
"Apparently all five of them are in the living room talking about this when the daddy announces he's going to take a long swim in Jackson Lake," Dailey said.
At that time, the Sheriff's Office was called and deputies arrived, but were unable to locate the man.
"About two hours later, the husband comes back and knocks on the door, but the wife won't let him in," Dailey said. "He then goes out to a shed and supposedly stabs himself in the foot."
Daily said his wife described the wound as having been made with a knife and a hammer. The man allegedly hammered the knife into his heel, saying he was trying to hit his "femur artery." Daily said it is assumed he was trying for his "femoral artery," which is located in the upper thigh.
The man was transported by ambulance to Newton Medical Center "where he was treated medically and mentally and is currently being evaluated," Daily said.
The investigation into the child molestation is continuing, including a forensic examination of the victim. Daily said, based on what the preacher, the mom and the daughter have told detectives, he is confident charges will be filed.

In 2011, Miami ranked 99th in defensive efficiency, 224th in opponents' 3-point percentage. Last year, Larranaga's first with the Hurricanes, those rankings improved to 73rd and 181st.
That wasn't good enough for Larranaga, whose 2006 Final Four team at George Mason was 18th in defensive efficiency. To encourage his Miami players, Larranaga used an academic metaphor.
"In basketball," he told them, "to get an A, you need to shoot for top-10."
Entering play Saturday, the Hurricanes were fifth this season in defensive efficiency, 30th in opponents' 3-point percentage.
That defensive improvement was evident in Miami's 54-50 victory over Virginia on Tuesday. The Cavaliers' .89 points-per-possession were their lowest in the last 10 games, and they missed 10-of-15 attempts from beyond the arc.
"I'm a great believer in numbers," Larranaga says. "The numbers tell a story. We use (them) for motivation."
Pomeroy is hardly the first to push beyond basketball's basic numbers.
Former North Carolina coach Dean Smith was among the first to evaluate his team's offense and defense based on points-per-possession. His pre-shot clock, four-corners delay notwithstanding, Smith preferred a fast tempo, and his theory was that a defense that yielded 70 points in a 70-possession game was better than one that allowed 65 in a 60-possession contest.
Pomeroy applies such reasoning to all of the sport's metrics, removing the bias of pace to create what he calls "tempo-free" stats. Again, he's not alone.
John Hollinger, a University of Virginia graduate, worked eight years as ESPN's basketball analytics expert before becoming the Memphis Grizzlies' vice president of operations.
Long known to college coaches, Pomeroy's numbers gained more widespread notice in 2008, when before the NCAA tournament his overall rankings had Kansas and Memphis 1-2. The Jayhawks defeated the Tigers in the national title game.
Acclaim created interest and demand, and subsequently, Pomeroy's site has become impeccably detailed, with more avenues than midtown Manhattan. Dating to 2003, he has year-by-year charts on teams, players and coaches.
For example, Virginia Tech's Green not only leads the country in scoring but also ranks fifth nationally in offensive efficiency behind only Michigan's Trey Burke, Gonzaga's Kelly Olynyk, South Dakota State's Nate Wolters and Creighton's Doug McDermott.
VCU's turnover percentage on defense leads Division I for the second consecutive season; Duke's No. 70 defensive efficiency rating last year was its first outside the top 15, a liability exposed by Lehigh in an NCAA tournament upset.
Virginia and Pittsburgh are arguably the most surprising teams in Pomeroy's overall rankings. The Panthers are eighth, 12 spots ahead of their AP poll rating; the Cavaliers didn't receive a single vote in either the AP or coaches' top 25, but they're 20th at Kenpom.com.
Pomeroy's game-by-game projections have Virginia losing only to Duke the remainder of the regular season to enter the ACC tournament 22-9, 12-6 in conference.
"Their success is almost all tied to playing good defense," Pomeroy says as he looks at the Cavaliers' page. "One of the advantages of what I do is I can take the pace of play out of analysis. A team like Virginia, they play slow and most teams that play slow, people just look at the points they allow and they say, 'Wow, they must have a really good defense.'
"So anybody that plays at a slow pace is going to have a really good points-per-game allowed. But this kind of confirms they really do have a good defense."
The linchpin of Pomeroy's efficiency ratings, for teams and players, is the number of possessions in a game. The question is, how does he obtain that number?
Pomeroy concedes the calculation is imprecise. While turnovers, field goals, and opponents' defensive rebounds definitely end a possession, only some free throws do, forcing Pomeroy to use a predetermined percentage for free throws.
"Probably for a vast majority of games, we're within a possession or two," he says.
Pomeroy's other data is culled directly from the boxscores he receives electronically and that are automatically fed into his programs.
"When I first started out, that was the biggest challenge," he says. "I had all these ideas, and I just felt like there's no way you can put this on a website and update it in real time. It's just impossible to manage that information.
"I wasn't a big computer programmer back then either, but I kind of got into it, and (learned) this actually is possible. … It's a pretty efficient operation at this point. It probably takes 15 minutes to update everything. It really doesn't require a lot of effort on my part unless there's an error in the data."
Pomeroy, 39, blogs, consults with coaches, does interviews and crunches numbers. He watches countless games and attends perhaps one a week. His annual postseason junket is to the Mountain West Conference tournament, Las Vegas being the antithesis of his Salt Lake City home.
Leery of the dome viewing experience, Pomeroy has never been to a Final Four. Here's guessing this basketball celebrity could find a ticket.

After learning that they may be without goaltender Roberto Luongo for several weeks, the Vancouver Canucks will attempt to post a season-high fourth straight win tonight as they host the Red Wings at GM Place.
Luongo was injured during Saturday's 3-1 Canucks' victory over the Penguins while making a pad save early in the first period and had to be helped off the ice by his teammates. Curtis Sanford relieved the three-time All-Star and made 17 saves.
Luongo has posted an 11-5-2 mark this season with a .928 save percentage. He also had a career-long shutout streak earlier in the season, going 242 minutes and 36 seconds without allowing a goal. He has an NHL-best five shutouts on the season and a 2.18 goals against average.
Vancouver also recalled netminder Cory Schneider from Manitoba of the American Hockey League on Saturday.
Daniel Sedin recorded a goal and two assists, while Pavol Demitra tallied the other two goals in the win over Pittsburgh to give him seven points (3 goals, 4 assists) over his last four games. Henrik Sedin assisted on all three scores for the Canucks, who got points in all four games of their recent road trip (3-0-1) and have won seven of their last nine overall (7-0-2).
Vancouver leads the Northwest Division with 28 points and is 6-2-1 at home this year. The Canucks, who also won three straight from November 4-8, have won four of their last five at home. However, the lone loss in that span came against Detroit on November 2.
That win by Detroit kicked off its current eight-game point streak (7-0-1), and the Red Wings have won their last five games after Saturday's 5-2 victory over Calgary.
Jiri Hudler and Pavel Datsyuk each had a goal and an assist in helping Detroit match a season-high win streak set from October 18-27. The Red Wings will tonight shoot for six wins in a row for the first time since an eight-game run from January 17-February 5 of last season.
Marian Hossa had an empty-net goal and Andreas Lilja added two assists, while Ty Conklin got the start between the pipes and picked up the win with 31 saves. Conklin has been an excellent backup to Chris Osgood this year, going 6-1-0 with a 2.41 GAA in seven starts.
Central Division-leading Detroit improved to a 10-1-1 this season on the road, where the club has won five straight, and wraps up a three-game tour of western Canada tonight.
The Red Wings and Canucks have split two games this year, though Detroit has won four of six in the series and four of the last six in Vancouver.

Community Health Centers in poor, rural communities lack vision care services
Washington, DC—The George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services study, "Assessing the Need for On-Site Eye Care Professionals in Community Health Centers," found that the absence of eye-care services in rural and low-income areas is a major public health crisis that puts individuals at greater risk for undiagnosed and untreated eye and vision problems. A full 70% of community health centers do not offer on-site vision care services, the analysis found, because of cost; difficulties with Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance reimbursement; and discrepancies in Medicaid coverage and benefits across states.
"The American Optometric Association [AOA] is committed to increasing access to eye care for all Americans," said Dr. Barry Barresi, executive director of the AOA. "We have a responsibility to help ensure that essential primary eye care services are offered at these facilities. Greater access to preventive eye care can lead to diagnosis and treatment before loss of vision becomes severe or untreatable."
The AOA has joined with the National Association of Community Health Centers, the New England Eye Institute, and the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers to advocate for access to high-quality, comprehensive, affordable vision care for medically underserved populations in community health centers.
Randy Brooks, OD, president-elect of the AOA, said, "With firmly established links between healthy vision and success in education and employment, it's not acceptable to have less than one-third of community health facilities offering primary eye and vision care on site. This dire situation makes it even more important that AOA-backed legislation like the National Health Service Corps Improvement Act (HR 1884 in the 110th Congress), a bipartisan bill to expand access to primary eye and vision care in underserved areas, be given fast-track consideration on Capitol Hill."
Health care advocates advise that a more detailed evaluation of the type and quality of eye care should be conducted to help health centers identify cost-effective practices and evaluate the cost of vision health. Experts also advise that additional research should be conducted to assess the value of having an eye care professional on-site and the impact on reducing or eliminating vision disparities.
The annual Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology meeting seeks answers, solutions to disparities in eye care
The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology 2009 annual meeting, "Reducing Disparities in Eye Disease and Treatment," will be held May 3 to 7 at the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center, Fort Lauderdale, FL. For more information, e-mail email@example.com or call 240/221-2900.
Working with all providers is best way to reduce risks, manage diabetes
Successful diabetes care and prevention of complications requires a multidisciplinary team approach, according to W. Lee Ball, OD, FAAO. Dr. Ball's strategy is for "PPOD providers"—pharmacists, podiatrists, optometrists, and dental-care professionals—to work together to increase awareness of and access to quality care for people with diabetes.

I love how she place and created the journaling spots :)
The kits are released tomorrow so make sure you stop by Design House Digital and pick these up.
Oh yeah...tell all your friends to do the same ;)
Here's two layouts I created using the Kits:

Cheers to the army of organizations working to brighten the holidays for kids in need, including one of our personal favorites, Bikes for Brains.
Maybe it's the memory of the joy we felt when Santa brought us our first two-wheeler countless Christmases ago that makes us such big supporters of the program begun by Sheila Burns of the Rock Island County Regional Office of Education and Sandy Seeley-Copley, proprietor of Queen's Parlor cosmetology salon in Moline.
With the help of Steve DePron, owner of Rock Island's Bike & Hike, and other organizations, more than a thousand Q-C kids have gotten bright shiny, shiny new bikes who never otherwise would have. But though the operation gets help from places like Amhof Trucking in Eldridge and Walmart, the public's support still is vital to ensure that no child is turned away. Every $50 raised buys a bike, training wheels and a helmet.
Help create memories for these kids as lasting as ours. But hurry. Bikes for Brains has less than a month to raise $7,000-$8,000, so send donations of any size today to ''Bikes for Brains,'' c/o Queen's Parlor, 171 19th Ave., Moline IL, 61265.
Jeers to a public pension system for part-time Rock Island County Board members that is even more inappropriate than we had believed.
Thanks to a report Sunday by staff writer Eric Timmons, we learned that some members of the county board who participate in the taxpayer-funded pension plan say they don't meet the requirement that they put in 1,000 hours of work each year to qualify for it.
Despite that, the county puts thousands of dollars a year into the individual pension plans of county board members who join the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund. Last year RICO contributed to IMRF pensions for 14 of the 25 county board members, costing taxpayers $64,599.
The hours they worked estimated by some board members wouldn't even have met the lowest standard of 600 hours per year required by the Illinois Pension Code.
IMRF officials may take a look at the apparent disparity. Good. But whether it does so or not, the report offers fresh evidence that RICO officials should consider discontinuing a perk that we believe the county had no business offering in the first place.
Though voters did not turn out most incumbent board members Nov. 6, they did vote overwhelmingly in support of reducing the size of the county board. There's a lesson there and in Sunday's pension plan report.
Cheers to a Quad-Cities philanthropist extraordinaire and a guy who knows how to put the fun in fundraising: Happy Joe Whitty.
Last week he hosted his annual holiday party for special-needs children at the i wireless Center in Moline. It takes a platoon of helpers to pull it off but, as always, Mr. Whitty was the driving force.
These parties are one of the ways that he has followed through on a vow he made when he opened his first Happy Joe's in the Village of East Davenport to assist kids with special needs if the restaurant was a success. Many years and several stores later, he continues to keep the promise.
"I made a deal with the 'Big Guy' upstairs, and I wasn't about to back out of that deal," Mr. Whitty said. "My mother always said, don't take something without giving something back."
That's a wonderful lesson and a great example for all of us.
And the best way to salute such generosity is to emulate it. This holiday season, vow to help someone and then follow through.
Jeers to the folks out there who are finding such humor in the demise of Hostess Brands.
There's nothing funny about the direct loss of 18,500 jobs, yet many are making light of the bankruptcy of the company.
We'll leave it to others to get to the bottom of who was responsible for the apparent death of Hostess, the company or its employee unions, or both. Our thoughts instead are with the workers and their families who face a holiday season jobless in an economy where new ones are hard to come by.
They are the 200 people at Hostess in Peoria who spent Thanksgiving wondering what they'll do next. It's an awful blow to those workers, their community as well as the companies and their employees who supply services and goods to Hostess.
Ask the folks who were hard hit when the bakery in Davenport was shuttered after 76 years when Interstate Bakeries Corp. went into bankruptcy. They'll tell you there's nothing funny about it.
Given the nationwide reaction to the potential loss of the junk Hostess makes, it seems certain that somebody, somewhere will soon make Twinkies and Ho Hos, and the like. But it won't be the people who have done so for years.
And that's a terrible shame.

the census bureau is coming to your front door
an extended family member has taken a job with the census bereau and was telling me today about the training he is receiving. they are being trained on gps equiptment to log the coordinates of every home and residence in the us. not that i'm very surprised but this has been in the works for years just not important enough for us to worry ourselves about.
link to www.npr.org
All Things Considered, July 31, 2006 · Two-and-a-half years from now, in early 2009, the Census Bureau plans to send an army of 100,000 temporary workers down every street and dusty, dirt road in America. They will be armed with handheld GPS devices.
Robert LaMacchia, head of the Census Bureau's geography division, says they'll capture the latitude and longitude of the front door of every house, apartment and improvised shelter they find.
"We will actually knock on doors and look for hidden housing units," he says. "We will find converted garages; from the outside, it may not look like anybody lives there."
But census workers will add each dwelling, legal or not, to the Census Bureau's Master Address File.
Recent proposed budget cuts have put part of this plan in jeopardy. But if Congress restores the money, the census will end up with the geographic coordinates — accurate to within 10 feet — for about 110 million residences.
But the Census Bureau can't, by law, share that list with anyone, even local governments. LaMacchia says the information has to be treated as confidential. Otherwise, people might lie, and the census wouldn't be accurate.
"People would not tell us about hidden housing units," LaMacchia says. "People would not respond to the questionnaire if they believed that that information would be turned over to law enforcement or code enforcement and become public information."
Mapping Might Save Lives
Shoreh Elhami, director of Geographic Information Systems in Delaware County, Ohio, says this sort of information can save lives.
"Having a geographic dataset that is accurate, comprehensive and current is priceless," Elhami says.
Her passion and devotion have made Delaware County, a fast-growing area just north of Columbus, one of the most meticulously mapped areas of the country.
At her computer, with a few clicks of the mouse, Elhami can pull up a complex, multi-layered picture of Delaware County. Standard commercial software lets her highlight sewer lines, flood plains or real estate tracts. She can pick any address and retrieve pictures of that building from overhead and from the street, along with information about its owner.
The map can answer questions you never expected to ask, she says. Last year, a big storm came through. A reservoir on the Olentangy River, just upstream from the town, was in danger of overflowing, and authorities thought they might have to release water through the dam.
Nobody knew how many people in the town of Delaware might be flooded out of their homes. Elhami rushed to her electronic map. She added a new layer to the picture — an image she'd received from the Army Corps of Engineers showing low-lying areas that would end up under water.
The image showed the outline of the "inundation zone," and within it, lines and clusters of little red dots. Each of those dots was a house that lay within the potential flood zone.
"The software allows you to do a count of every one of those residences and produce a file of those addresses," she says.
Elhami delivered that file to emergency managers, and they quickly called the people at each address. Fortunately, the storms subsided, and no flood came.
Every address in the county is in a database, complete with geographic coordinates so it will show up accurately on a map.
Assembling that data is a time-consuming effort. On one recent summer morning, Caleb Gutshall and Sheri Feasel trudged down North Winter Street, in Delaware, checking each address on this commercial strip and making sure that the county's list of occupants was accurate. They also take pictures of any new buildings. One door was unnumbered and locked. Gutshall peered in the window, but learned nothing. "It doesn't look like anybody's in there," he said.
Now the Census Bureau is planning to undertake much the same kind of effort, on a massive scale, covering the entire country. Elhami says that the Master Address File could be a priceless resource for many counties that don't have the resources to collect that information on their own.

It should be bigger since most packages of frozen waffles are 8 or 10 to a pack not 4
One small issue
By colorado shopper
from aurora, co
it is too small. only holds 4 waffles. needs to be bigger or come two's.
Buyer Should Read!
By Kate
from NE MS
I should have read the dimensions more carefully........I thought, when described for storing waffles, that it would hold my whole purchase, but it only holds four of the round waffles.To store the whole box would take three!ALSO, it is not airtight. I had to force the top down to get even a seal that would enable the top to stay down on to the body of the holder.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pension Risk, Retirement Saving and Insurance
AbstractUsing a representative sample of Italian investors, we estimate the risk associated with pension benefits by eliciting for each individual the subjective distribution of the replacement rate as a summary indicator of social security wealth. We find substantial heterogeneity of pension risk and show that it is consistently related to observable features in the pension system that have different effects on individuals with different characteristics. We then relate subjective pension risk to individuals' financial decisions. We find that people try to attenuate the adverse consequences of pension wealth uncertainty by increasing demand for targeted retirement saving and for insurance. Individuals facing more pension wealth risk tend to enroll more often in private pension funds, invest more in life insurance and buy more private health insurance. These effects are consistent with people becoming more risk-averse when pension wealth becomes less predictable, leading them to search for greater financial security.

ArthritisArthritis and other rheumatic diseases are characterized by pain, swelling, and limited movement in joints and connective tissues in the body.
ArthroscopyOrthopedic surgeons use arthroscopy to diagnose and treat joint problems. An arthroscope is a small, tube shaped instrument that is used to look inside a joint.
BursitisA bursa is a fluid-filled sac that cushions a joint. When a bursa becomes inflamed, the condition is known as bursitis.
Carpal Tunnel SyndromeWomen develop carpal tunnel syndrome three times more frequently than men. It usually occurs only in adults.
Cubital Tunnel SyndromeCubital tunnel syndrome feels similar to the pain that occurs from hitting the "funny" bone in your elbow. The condition may occur if you frequently bend your elbows, constantly lean on your elbows, or sustain a direct injury to the area.
Elbow Pain and ProblemsDetailed information on elbow pain and problems
Evaluation ProceduresTo help the orthopedist determine your treatment, you'll need a physical exam, a medical history profile, and a description of symptoms.
Exercise and the Aging PersonExercise is good for people of all ages. It helps lower blood pressure, reduces the risks for falls and serious injuries, and slows the body's loss of muscle and bone mass.
Exercise: The Right Program and the Right PreparationYou don't have to exercise for long periods of time—or even vigorously—to become fit. You do need to aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate activity most days of the week.
FibromyalgiaDetailed information on fibromyalgia, including cause, triggers, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment
Foot Pain and ProblemsFoot pain is often caused by improper foot function. Improperly fitted shoes can worsen and, in some cases, cause foot problems.
FracturesA fracture is a partial or complete break in the bone. When a fracture occurs, it is classified as either open or closed.
Glossary - Orthopedic SurgeryGlossary of terms relating to orthopedics
Hand Pain and ProblemsCommon hand problems include arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and ganglion cysts.
Hip FractureA hip fracture is classified by the specific area of the break and the type of break(s) in the bone. It is a serious injury and requires immediate medical attention.

Ice Packs vs. Warm Compresses For PainIt can sometimes be confusing whether to use heat or cold when treating sore muscles or an injury. Here are facts to keep in mind.
Joint Replacement SurgeryJoint replacement is a surgical procedure to remove and replace an arthritic or damaged joint with an artificial joint, called a prosthesis.
Knee Pain and ProblemsCommon knee problems include sprains, strains, torn cartilage, and arthritis.
Knee Replacement SurgeryWhen a knee is severely damaged by disease or injury, an artificial knee replacement may be considered.
KyphosisKyphosis is a forward curvature of the spine. It is a type of spinal deformity and should not be confused with poor posture.
Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow)The pain of tennis elbow is caused by damage to the tendons that bend the wrist backward away from the palm.
Ligament Injuries to the KneeThe anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common ligaments to be injured. Learn about the four major ligaments of the knee.
Low Back PainLow back pain can range from mild, dull, and annoying to persistent, severe, and disabling pain. Pain in the lower back can restrict mobility and interfere with normal functioning.
Lumbar Strain (Weight Lifter's Back)A lumbar strain is an injury to the lower back, which results in damaged tendons and muscles that spasm and feel sore.
Medial Epicondylitis (Golfer's and Baseball Elbow)Other activities that can cause this condition include carrying a heavy suitcase, chopping wood, and using a chainsaw.
Neck Pain and ProblemsNeck pain can result from many different causes—injury to muscles, tendons, or ligaments; arthritis; a herniated disc; or a tumor.

OsteoarthritisOsteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis, is a chronic, degenerative, joint disease that affects mostly middle-aged and older adults.
OsteoporosisOsteoporosis causes a loss of bone mass and destruction of bone tissue. The bones most often affected are the hips, spine, and wrists.
Overview of Sports Injuries
Paget Disease of the BonePaget disease is the most common bone disorder after osteoporosis in people older than 50.
Patellar Tendonitis (Jumper's Knee)Jumper's knee is also known as patellar tendonitis. It may be caused by overuse of the knee joint, such as frequent jumping on hard surfaces.
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Runner's Knee)Runner's knee occurs when the kneecap rubs against the thighbone as it moves. The condition can be caused by a structural defect or a certain way of walking or running.
Preventing Sports InjuriesGood preventive steps: Warm up before you work out, alternate days for exercising certain muscle groups, and cool down when you're done.
Rheumatoid ArthritisDetailed information on rheumatoid arthritis, including causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment
ScoliosisA spine affected by scoliosis shows a sideways curvature and a rotation of the vertebrae, giving the appearance that the person is leaning to one side.

With the National Weather Service placing Atlantic City and much of South Jersey under a high wind warning, the Atlantic City Office of Emergency Management is prepared for the challenges the winds may blow in.
"We have emergency procedures for every type of event. Whether it be a rain event or snow event or hurricane. Straight-line winds is what we're facing tonight," said Director of the Office of Emergency Management Tom Foley.
And as many homes in Atlantic City and the surrounding areas continue to rebuild from Hurricane Sandy, Foley and his staff have made sure area construction sites have prepared for the winds.
"We contacted all construction companies to make sure they secure their cranes and any other construction materials they have around."
With wind gusts expected to reach between 50 and 60 miles per hour, residents are being encouraged to stay indoors to avoid potential dangers caused by flying debris and downed power lines.
"We're advising people not to park your car under trees and to make sure they stay out of the way of those type of things because it is going to get very heavy this evening," said Foley.
Foley doesn't believe the winds will last very long and is thankful that the winds will arrive late enough so that the roads will be mostly clear.
"Everyone be careful, make sure they stay out of harms way, we're going to have some heavy winds tonight and we're just going to have to deal with it," said Foley.
The winds are expected to last through the remainder of Wednesday night.

Osama bin Laden uses FaceTime?!!
who the hell would come off their grandfathered unlimited data plan i never would lol
I can count how many total minutes I have spent using FaceTime on my two hands. it's not a big deal to me, like someone else said, how many people use FT enough for this to affect them? I'm fine with jailbreaking and using My3G as I always have.
That's pathetic...I think limited plans are stupid anyway, data is cheap.
I currently have unlimited if they try to change my contract to limited data I'm leaving. I pay enough money to have unlimited and I want it to stay that way. I'll get rid of the iPhone if that's how they wanna be, who's with me???
Before Verizon got the iPhone all we heard was how awesome their network was and that they could handle iPhone traffic. So why the limit?
AT&T and Verizon need to offer an unlimitted package. Just charge for it. I'm sure people will pay.
All these neat things you can do these days as far as apps like this and many others and now AT&T and Verizon want to limit data.... what a joke! I tried watching a show on my iPad the other day and I kept getting messages stating the data was limited and I have unlimited!
Oh yeah forgot to mention. FaceTime is a neat concept, but I'm not giving up unlimited data for something that I rarely use as it is. Most of my friends/family don't even have FaceTime compatible devices anyway. I like not having to worry about going over. Same reason I pay for unlimited minutes.
I understand its a mobile device, data is falsely inflated among wireless carriers. I think the prices they charge are absurd!! I pay 40 bucks a month for 20MB per second internet with my ISP i understand its regular internet and not mobile, but i stream tons of media and download anything i want, no limit what so ever. Why the hell should mobile data cost 2/3's the cost of regular internet. We are all being robbed!
Next it will be youtube and then maybe safari.
These companies are a joke.
It's plain and utter BS! We need to all start a petition to Verizon and AT&T. So far only Sprint still offers unlimited everything without a hassle. If they get the iPhone, I'm switching.
I'm getting tired of all this limiting stuff. Its time we and apple really let these phone services know that we are not happy. Of course i don't know how we could do it but its just getting tiresome that these phone companies r constricting our pleasure
I've used facetime on my macbook more than I have on my iPhone... and I have had my new macbook for less than 3 months.
We need some more competition in the cellular sector. This is ridiculous, and has been for quite some time.
10 years ago I thought we'd all be on unlimited plans for $30 a month by now - but it seems that Verizon and AT&T have agreed to extremely (suspiciously) similar plans.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was some price-fixing going on here.

Charlotte Mecklenburg police are investigating after a family reported someone sneaking into their apartment, stealing from them and watching them sleep.
It's been a rough couple of months for Rachel Martin and her roommates.
"We wake up terrified," she said.
Martin said the burglaries started four months ago but the most recent incident happened Saturday.
"If someone would have been here the other night, we could be having a different conversation right now and that scares me to death," she said.
She says theirs isn't the only apartment targeted.
"The attic walls have been knocked down completely," she said. "If I wanted to go into the attic, I could go into any of the eight houses on this floor."
Martin said they filed a police report after lingerie and other items were taken.
"They'd show up missing and a few weeks later, they'd come back," she recalled.
Martin also said officers reported finding suspicious evidence in the attic.
"They found stolen cell phones and radio pieces out of cars," she said.
Kevyn Ebert, Martin's roommate, told WBTV he hasn't been sleeping well.
"Every noise you hear has you shooting up, 'oh crap they're back in my house'," he said. "Last night was the first time in my life I've actually had to sleep with a knife in my hand."
But the creepiest thing, said Martin is that she feels she's being watched.
"Taking pictures, watching me sleep," she said.
Both say they've gone to management and asked the attic walls get fixed.
The managers up here have told us time and time again we'll take care of it, we've handled it and nobody is doing anything," said Martin.
WBTV talked with the management office, which directed us to a corporate office in Tampa, FL. A spokesman emailed a statement:
Upon receipt of the initial notice from the resident, we immediately secured the attic access point from within the unit and encouraged the resident to contact law enforcement with their concerns. The resident has subsequently contacted law enforcement and is currently cooperating with them in their investigation.

HoopsHype Festus Ezeli rumors
Festus Ezeli, confirmed Monday morning to be on the Warriors Summer League roster, was directed back to the sidelines on Monday night. The 6-foot-11 center, who spent the season rehabbing his surgically reconstructed right knee, was diagnosed with inflammation in his right shin and "most likely" will not play when the games begin this weekend in Las Vegas, the Warriors announced. CSNBayArea.com
Warriors center Festus Ezeli will not play in NBA Summer League games due to right shin inflammation, the team announced Monday on the eve of its first workout in Las Vegas. Ezeli after missing all of last season recovering from right knee surgery will have his return delayed because of precautionary reasons, according to the Warriors, who believe the latest injury is "nothing serious." Contra Costa Times
Vanderbilt forward Rod Odom will join the Warriors' NBA Summer League team in Las Vegas, Commodores assistant coach Tom Richardson tweeted Sunday. The 6-foot-9, 212-pound Odom is expected to reunite with Festus Ezeli, who played for two seasons in the same Vanderbilt frontcourt. Contra Costa Times
Warriors center Festus Ezeli said Monday he has been cleared to play after spending all of this season recovering from right knee surgery and that he expected to be in action at the Las Vegas Summer League next month. "They think it's a good idea, so I probably will," Ezeli said of the Warriors at the team's basketball camp for children at Sonoma Day Country School. "Just go to Vegas, get some touches and get my rhythm back. Just get back to playing. Get back to being comfortable on the court." Contra Costa Times
Rusty Simmons: The Warriors are going with the same starting lineup from Game 4 in tonight's game at LA. Andrew Bogut and Festus Ezeli are still out. Twitter @Rusty_SFChron
Marc J. Spears: Warriors center Festus Ezeli (knee) is not expected to make his season debut against the Clippers in Game 5 in LA on Tuesday, a source said. Twitter @SpearsNBAYahoo
Marc J. Spears: Warriors Festus Ezeli (knee ) begins playing 1-on-1 tomorrow & is still hopeful about playing in the playoffs. Next step TBD full court play Twitter @SpearsNBAYahoo
Festus Ezeli: Gonna miss my guy @Kent Bazemore His hardwork has paid off so far and continue to. We'll miss our brother Twitter @fezzyfel
The Golden State Warriors are tipping off the team's new "Step Up Your Game" initiative in partnership with a private, statewide health foundation The California Endowment at a Warriors Community Basketball Clinic, it was announced today. A project of the statewide Active Alliance, Step Up Your Game is designed to provide Bay Area youth with fun activities while also encouraging and motivating them to pursue their goals by working hard, making good choices and living a well-balanced lifestyle. For the first event of the program, Warriors players Festus Ezeli, Draymond Green, Nemanja Nedovic and Marreese Speights will run basketball drills with over 100 students from Hayward High School and San Lorenzo High School, along with emphasizing the importance of maximizing their potential. NBA.com
In my column about bullying in the NBA, I noted that the Warriors filled then-rookie Kent Bazemore's Audi with popcorn and removed the tires from fellow rookie Festus Ezeli's car and placed them in his locker. Veteran forward David Lee clarified that both pranks were motivated by the rookies not following team rules. Bleacher Report
Bazemore violated the shower code, which is that if all the showers are occupied when a veteran enters, he must give his up regardless of where he is in his hygiene routine. (Apparently Stephen Curry entered and Bazemore said something to the effect of, "Just give me a minute.") Ezeli's indiscretion was helping himself to a plate of food on the team plane ahead of the veterans. "We didn't do it just because they were rookies," Lee said. "There was cause and effect." Bleacher Report
Joe Lacob: With Bogut, you have to look back and say, yes, he has been injury-prone. There is a big risk here that we're going to be signed up for four years on a guy who may not play as much as we'd like. But you have to look at free agency next summer. There's not a lot. We would be fighting, like we were two years ago, looking for a center. We like Festus Ezeli, but we believe in being good and big and having depth. We had to take a chance. We decided he plays the exact type of basketball that we want to base our team around. So, let's take a chance. Hey, you're not going to win on all these things. But he fits very, very well with what we're trying to build. CSNBayArea.com

PORTLAND -- More than 100 neglected dogs and cats were seized during a huge animal rescue effort early Monday morning, according to the Oregon Humane Society.
Authorities have not yet said exactly where the animals came from, only that they were found in a warehouse. They said there were at least 137 dogs and two cats, and the owners may face charges.
Veterinarians were examining the animals Monday. They said some appeared to be severely malnourished.
"They're going to need more examinations on the medical side and we need to assess them behaviorally," one official told KGW. "We'll take it slowly but surely. We'll make sure they get the best care they can possibly get."
They were all taken to the shelter for care and may be up for adoption at a later date.
Police were involved and said more details would be released soon.
