Taxation in the Palestinian territories
Taxation in the Palestinian territories is a complex system which may involve payment to the Palestinian Authority (PA) and/or Israel in the context of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. In 2005 the Palestinian Authority collected approximately $34 million per month from taxes and other charges, and Israel collected about $75 million per month in tariffs on foreign imports and value added taxes (VAT) on Israeli goods and services and on average kept about $15 million for the payment of water and power bills of Palestinians, while forwarding the other $60 million to the PA.[1] Israeli collected funds account for about two-thirds of the authority's self-generated revenue,[2] which Reuters put at $100 million in December 2012.[3] Since the 2006 Palestinian legislative election, Israel has regularly withheld the taxes it owes the Palestinian Authority.[1][4][5][3]
The situation in the territories where alluded to in the Oslo Accords and primarily defined by the Oslo II Accords of September 1995 (the Interim Agreement on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip).[6] Oslo II incorporated and superseded:
- the Gaza–Jericho Agreement of 29 April 1994, including the Protocol on Economic Relations
- the Agreement on Preparatory Transfer of Powers and Responsibilities Between Israel and the PLO of 29 August 1994, also known as the Early Empowerment Agreement[7][8]
- the Protocol on Further Transfer of Powers and Responsibilities of 27 August 1995 also known as the Further Transfer Protocol
Israeli withholdings[edit]
Since the 2006 Palestinian legislative election, Israel periodically has not transferred all of the taxes it collects, and earmarked some portions to pay the outstanding debts of the Palestinian Authority.[1] In June 2008, Israel retained a large part of the taxes to cover debts of the Palestinian Authority, and this extra withholding was done in an apparent retaliation for Prime Minister of the Palestinian National Authority Salam Fayyad attempting to undermine Israel – European Union relations.[5] During October and November 2011 in response to Palestine's bid for full membership in the United Nations, admission to UNESCO, and Fatah's steps to reconcile with Hamas in the Fatah–Hamas conflict, Israel refused to transfer about $200 million in taxes collected.[2]
In response to Palestine securing an upgraded status in the UN pursuant to United Nations General Assembly resolution 67/19, Israel withheld the December 2012 tax transfer, and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said that "The Palestinians can forget about getting even one cent in the coming four months".[3] The withheld money will be used to pay Palestinian debts to the Israel Electric Corporation, and Lieberman also said that the Palestinians had a major debt with the Israeli water authority (Mekorot) that would have to be paid.[3] Both the Israel Electric Corporation and Mekorot are primarily owned by the government of Israel. The Foreign Affairs Council of the Council of the European Union released a statement calling on Israel to "avoid any step undermining the financial situation of the Palestinian Authority" and stating that "Contractual obligations, notably under the [Protocol on Economic Relations], regarding full, timely, predictable and transparent transfer of tax and custom revenues have to be respected."[3][9] On 9 December 2012, Mahmud Abbas warned he may refer Israel to the International Criminal Court (ICC) if it continues to withhold tax revenues at a meeting of the Arab League at which other members agreed to make up the shortfall in revenues.[10]

What Happened to the PISA 2000 Participants Five Years Later?
AbstractThe transition from school-to-work has been a burning issue in most countries for the last decades. So far research on this topic has not been conclusive, and it is still not clear whether transition problems are just individual, linked to the type of education followed at upper-secondary level, or just a prolongation of problems arising from poor school performance during compulsory education. This paper uses a unique Swiss longitudinal data-set, which includes information on PISA 2000 scores and the pathways chosen after completing compulsory school. Descriptive results show that students in vocational training, who obtained lower PISA results, are significantly more likely to be in an inadequate employment situation two years after finishing vocational training. Further analysis shows, however, that it is the type of vocational training followed at upper-secondary level that is decisive for the success in the transition. Nevertheless, individual PISA scores have an indirect impact on the transition results, as they are an important factor explaining which pupils are more likely to get into an intellectually demanding vocational training and which ones are not.

Where can I obtain a handicap hangtag or placard?
Handicapped Placard for Drivers With DisabilitiesIf you're a permanently or temporarily disabled driver, visit your local DMV office to apply for a handicap parking placard or a handicap hangtag.
More than likely you'll be required to jointly complete an application with your physician, and this form is usually available for downloaded from your DMV's website. Depending on your physician's recommendation, your handicap placard or hangtag may be temporary (six months) or permanent (usually four years).
Placards and hangtags are universal. This means a handicap hangtag registered in Rhode Island, for example, will be recognized in every other state and most other countries.
NOTE: Handicap placards and hangtags will allow you to park in any space clearly designated for the disabled, unless the space is marked "Blue Placard Parking Only." A blue placard designates a permanent disability, while a red placard designates a temporary disability.

"He's just this guy, y'know?"TV Tropes.org has this to say about Douglas Noel Adams...A British humorist and science fiction writer, most renowned for having written The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "trilogy", the Dirk Gently series, and several Doctor Who stories starring the one and only Tom Baker.A really hoopy frood, he was very fond of deadlines (he liked the whooshing sound they made as they flew by) and always knew where his towel was. note His interests included evolutionary biology, software technology, Apple computers, the music of Pink Floyd, Bach, and The Beatles, and SCUBA diving. He was involved in a BBC radio production (and then book) with Mark Carwardine called Last Chance To See, where he made his case for the necessity of biodiversity and the need for conservation initiatives. He also considered himself a radical atheist, but the "radical" bit was just to show people that he was serious about it (as opposed to merely being agnostic), not because he was intolerant or aggressive. If ever a human being was Too Cool to Live, it was him.Hitchhiker was constructed in a typically Adams fashion — he was notorious for cribbing from his own previous works, and a good many aspects of Hitchhiker had been put to paper in some form (mostly Adams' own plays and unpublished short stories) before the series itself was conceived.Douglas Adams died of a massive heart attack at a gym in Santa Barbara, California — where he had a home — on May 11, 2001. Because of where he was at the time, Adams actually was carrying a towel when he died. Many of his fans find this to be very bittersweet.Adams has been honored with an asteroid, named in his honor (25924 Douglasadams); the asteroid's prior designation (2001 DA42) is notable in that it coincidentally carries the year of Adams' passing; his initials; and the Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything. Adams would quite probably see such a coincidence as solid proof that the universe has a sense of humor.See the article on The Other Wiki for more.

It's easy to recognize doctors just by reading their nametags. After all, they have the letters MD after their last names, right? But what if you see the letters DO? You might be surprised to learn that this is an abbreviation for another type of physician.
Perhaps you aren't sure whether your child currently sees a DO (a doctor of osteopathic medicine; an osteopathic physician) or an MD (a doctor of medicine). Your main concern is that your child receives excellent medical care, and both MDs and DOs are good choices when it comes to your child's health.
According to the American Osteopathic Association (AOA), osteopathic medicine is a complete system of health care with a philosophy that combines the needs of the patient with the current practice of medicine. Doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs) practice a whole-person approach, which means they consider both the physical and mental needs of their patients.
This "holistic" approach to health care was developed by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, who feared that 19th-century medicine was doing more harm than good. Disgusted at the ineffectiveness of fellow practitioners during the Civil War, he decided to focus on the body's ability to heal itself and began to stress preventive medicine. He also identified the musculoskeletal system as a key element of health, stressing that muscles, nerves, bones, and organs are all interrelated. In 1892, Dr. Still founded the American School of Osteopathy in Kirksville, Missouri.
A key part of osteopathic medicine is a technique called OMT, or osteopathic manipulative treatment. OMT allows physicians to use their hands as a primary tool to diagnose and treat illness and injury. This form of manual medicine lets DOs examine the back and other parts of the body, such as joints, tendons, ligaments, and muscles, for pain and restriction during motion that could signal an injury or impaired function.
Although they sometimes focus on the back, these physicians are not chiropractors. OMT is a treatment very specific to how and where humans injure themselves and how that injury can manifest itself as symptoms.
Both DOs and MDs are physicians. Both are licensed by state and specialty boards to perform surgery and write prescriptions. Applicants to both DO and MD colleges usually have a 4-year undergraduate degree with an emphasis on science courses, and both complete 4 years of basic medical education.
In fact, both DOs and MDs:
Currently, about 70,000 osteopathic physicians practice in the United States. Because osteopathic schools emphasize primary care training, more than half of all DOs practice in areas such as pediatrics, obstetrics/gynecology, and internal medicine. Each year, 100 million patient visits are made to DOs.
Although most health insurance carriers recognize DOs, be sure to check with your provider to be sure that your policy covers services provided by DOs.
You can find DOs through the American Osteopathic Association, or through local osteopathic hospitals and state osteopathic medical associations. And many MDs and DOs practice together as members of the same group.

Pattern can be created by the shape of field tile.
In Morocco, where tile is an art form, pattern is not restricted to surface decoration or even to the size of their glazed earthenware tiles known as zellige (also zillij). Often it is a function of the actual shape of the tile or by a combination of shapes and colors. We recently discussed the lantern or arabesque shape in our recent Kitchen Backsplash Tile Intelligence post as these are especially trendy. We also noted that arched scallop or fish scale tiles had begun to appear in our Scallop Tile Bathrooms post. Now, two more Moroccan shapes – stars and triangles – are shown in two stunning baths by Dallas designer Cathy Kincaid. Eight-point Moroccan stars are an ancient tile pattern. Kincaid used those in a large-scale sea foam green color [top] to create a distinctive wainscot, which helps unify two windows and the entire area around the tub. One additional effect of using shaped tiles is the creation of positive and negative patterns. The stars read as positive while the negative white tiles around them read as a secondary pattern of crosses.
In a second bath, chocolate brown and white triangular tiles are worked into boxes with opposing colors. But by alternating the placement of the whites against the brown sides, there's an optical buzz rather than rows of solid squares. The effect is accentuated by tiling from floor to ceiling as well.

We had existing solar screen roller shades from a different company and needed more. I think this other company prefers larger projects than our small office because they never called back with a quote. Finally I looked online for other options, found Blindsgalore, got some samples, placed my order, installed the shades. We couldn't be happier! They look great! Since they are in different rooms than the other roller shades, no one notices that they are not the same manufacturer. These were very easy to install. My only complaint... that I waited so long to look for other options.

Spin the Black Circle I was a great game that I'm very proud of.
However it was obvious that all the graphics were made by me,
so I wanted to make a sequel with higher production values.
This sequel brings you my 18 favorite levels from the first game, + 25 completely new levels.
New graphics and music. There's also a difficulty bar to adjust the challenge to your liking.
If you have played STBC1 make sure you mark the checkbox in the preloader, that way you wont have to replay the old levels.
If the game runs slow on your PC try tweaking the graphic options.
There's really no efficient way to rotate huge bitmaps in flash... especially when the framerate is set to 60 fps, sorry.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars December 6, 2012
hard but fun
also why not set the fps to 30? 60 is uneccesary for any flash game :P
Rated 5 / 5 stars May 19, 2011
i hate it i hate it i hate it but its perfect. keep it up.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars November 22, 2010

Rated 5 out of 5 by Scobie A great nights sleep..really I spend way too many nights in hotels, and usually I don't sleep very well. But the beds at the Sheraton Brooklyn were almost as good as mine at home (minus the dogs). Great hotel at a convenient location. March 11, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lema3 Great front desk staff The front desk seemed short staff. Felt bad for the staff because they were doing a million things, but still smiling. Janice was great. Area seem a little scary at night, but overall it was a nice hotel. July 4, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by traveler1 Excellent in every way! Clean, great service and the bed / pillows were amazing. The restaurant was delicious.and reasonably priced for a business traveler. Very convenient to the blue line subway. I highly recommend this hotel! January 28, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by QHawk Northern Hospitality Marie and her staff are not only the best…they make it look easy. Most hotels miss on some of the small things…this is not most hotels. There is a true sense of a home away from home. March 12, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by weddingmamma Overwhelmed A young hotel completely overwhelmed by the guest overload. Given time and patience perhaps this hotel will blossom - but right now it is struggling to meet the needs of its guests. June 18, 2013

I hope this won't be a regular feature. I'm with Vic on this one — the modern focus on crowd noise levels is pretty inane. I get excited to see the game on the field, but I don't relish the game turning into an extended pep rally or a One Direction concert.
Sorry, comments for this entry are closed at this time.

"The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. …
Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity — in all this vastness — there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves."

Title 1 District in Need of Assistance Action Plan
Combination Reading and Math Plan for the Academic Years: 2010-2011 and 2011-2012
During the 2006-2007 school year, the Davenport Community Schools saw positive strides in academic performance among our elementary schools while recognizing the need for increased focus on the proficiency of our intermediate and high school students in both math and reading.
Because of this, there have been significant changes in how curriculum is designed and delivered throughout all grade levels. This has been in response to test scores in some student groups that are not keeping pace with the steep trajectories we've set to meet requirements for No Child Left Behind. Another goal has also been to strengthen the consistency of our curriculum and instructional strategies at all levels and across all schools in the district so that all of our students have access to a similar classroom experience regardless of which school they attend. We remain committed to continuous improvement for our students as we plan for the future.
Although we are seeing steady progress in many areas and with many of our identified student groups – especially at the elementary level – there are still areas requiring additional support and response. Because of the achievement gaps that still exist in some subject areas and in some student groups across the district, primarily students with Individual Education Plans (IEP – Special Education Students) and our African American students, our district is designated as a District in Need of Assistance by Iowa Department of Education.
What this means is that the Iowa Department of Education has put together a team of professionals to assist our district in developing action plans for Reading and Math to address the learning needs of students and provided additional support for our local efforts to bolster student achievement, especially among the targeted groups mentioned above. For the past several months – following an intensive site visit by the team from the Department of Education, an audit of instructional practices and resources, research of best practices, meetings including teacher and parent representatives, and analysis of local student data – district leadership and staff have been working on a plan to address these specific needs.
The plan will be monitored and updated as progress is achieved. Your support as an involved parent or interested community member is welcomed as we move toward accomplishing the challenging goals outlined in this plan. If you would like to participate more directly in our efforts, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com

Bonking boffins say bacon biters won't breed
Swap the breakfast bacon for kippers, gents, because the bad news is that bacon – along with other processed meats – is associated with poor semen quality. If you can keep your processed meat intake below an average of the equivalent of a rasher per day of bacon and still retain your will to live, you might manage 30 per cent …
Bonking Boffins
Hang on, where's the NFC ang... oh wait, I guess it doesn't get much nearer does it?
Well at my age
The last thing I'm concerned about is semen quality, so shove another couple of rashers under the grill for me.
Re: Well at my age
Indeed, it tastes better than condoms as well.
Re: Well at my age
I've never been concerned about it at any age. It's not like there's a shortage of children, or that we need a great many fertile men (as a fraction of the population) to keep the supply up, or that any given male has such fabulously wonderful genes that he owes it to society to take precautions.
I got my kid the old-fashioned way - married her mom - and it's worked out just fine.
Given the choice between siring children and eating bacon, I'll opt for the latter. I can always adopt more children,1 but there's no good alternative to delicious processed meats.
1Not likely, to be honest, now that I have a grandchild I see almost every day. That's pretty much the ideal child-interaction arrangement: most of the fun stuff for a small fraction of the effort.
So seafood grilled with bacon equals... ?
Something that requires some melted cheese to become perfection.
Bacon and melted cheese improve any meal.
Possibly with a nice habanero/ scotch bonnet sauce, if you fancy.
I wouldn't say that around your cardiologist...
On the other hand
If you eat a lot of bacon and want kids, it just means you'll have to have sex that much more often to increase the odds of conception.
A win win, I say!
No more makin' bacon then?
Hard of hearing
Come again?
Wear a cod piece instead
Re: fish?
Where a cod piece?
Re: fish?
'ware the codpiece!
"the small sample size ..."
I see what you did there
Any fule kno...
... that fish are better swimmers than pigs.
Stop with this research
The last thing that we want is for the mericans to increase their sperm count.......less of them mean more for us...(mericans that is, not sperm)
Re: Stop with this research
Less americans for them means more americans for us? DO NOT WANT!
We are all DOOOOOMED!
Yet another story that tells us to eat/drink/behave differently to increase our re-productivity. Why? Aren;t there enough bloody people on the planet already. What we need is MORE BACON, and beer and anything else that decreases sperm count. In some cases a pair of bricks would be most effective,..... ;-)
Re: We are all DOOOOOMED!
Don't worry about those condoms love, I've just had a bacon sandwich.
[...as said by Julian Assange... Allegedly...]
Re: We are all DOOOOOMED!
" In some cases a pair of bricks would be most effective"
Doesn't that hurt?
Re: We are all DOOOOOMED!
Yes, if she does it correctly.
Re: We are all DOOOOOMED!
No. Bricks can't feel a thing.
Re: Doesn't that hurt?
It happened to Arnie, forget which episode.
Who need breeding if you can have BACON?
We need some way to improve the fertility of the bacon producing pigs.
So we can get more bacon.
Isn't this a good thing?
So bacon acts as a mild contraceptive? Less painful than going for the snip.
Re: Isn't this a good thing?
Yes, but they gave me some good drugs when I got mine done. I think it was to keep me from running away in terror.
Fish as alternative to bacon...
Aside from the benefits already mentioned, there is the additional benefit that it would allow us to glow in the dark! (From all the toxic waste that the fish will have consumed from all the shit we throw away).
Although it will be getting harder and harder to follow that route (of eating fish) due to the continuing decline of the marine environment caused by too much unsustainable commercial fishing methods and the previously mentioned shit that we keep dumping in the sea! All in the name of profit (of the few).
Re: Fish as alternative to bacon...
"the additional benefit that it would allow us to glow in the dark!"
Can't wait for a thick rasher of glow in the dark bacon, will make post-pub ninja snack time easier if I don't have to turn the kitchen lights on.
Re: Fish as alternative to bacon...
post-pub ninja snack
er, sorry...read that as post-jub ninja snack
never mind
Joking aside...
I'd extrapolate from that "research" that it's probably little to do with bacon and fish specifically and more to do with men who eat lots of processed meat probably having poorer diets (and very probably general lifestyles) overall than those who eat lots of fish (and other healthy foods...).
Of course, if I was a trick cyclist looking to put a shine on some statistically dubious "findings", I'd slather them in bacon grease and take the headlines!
Follow the money!
Odds that this research was funded by The Vegetarian Society?
Re: Follow the money!

I think I started turning that (wing)nut clockwise and counter-clockwise.
Seriosuly, am I the only person who sees: "More bacon; less children" as less of a warning and more a quasi-humourous slogan inexpertly screen printed on a market-stall t-shirt next to the equally-valid (and equally-poorly screen printed) "Save water; drink beer"?
Sorry for swearing.

The news, of course, is that the bands have been just fantastic lately. You almost can't help but work DX. Yesterday, for example, I went down to the basement about 4pm to get something, and thought I'd scan the 30m band. I heard and worked both CN8IG and HB9STEVE.
If that last call sign sounds a bit odd, it's because it's a special event station set up the Team HB9ON Radio Group to celebrate the life of Apple computer founder, Steve Jobs. Their QRZ.Com page says, "Commemoration operation will occur sporadically throughout the month of November 2011. Most of the activity will be done in CW mode but we plan to operate SSB thanks to some of our friends." So, you still have a chance to work them, if you want to.
Later, on 40m, I was trying to find a nice ragchew, but instead ended up working:
- PV8ADI. He always has a big signal here. If you look at his QRZ.Com page you'll see why. He has a three-element Yagi on 40m.
- DL1NKS. I called CQ on 7019 kHz and got a replay from this German station. After we finished our QSO, UR5NQL jumped in and I had a short QSO with him.
I finished the evening with a short QSO with my friend, W4MQC, down in Florida, but he was getting pounded by some SSB QRM from stations in Central America. It's time to get on the air and work some DX, even if you only have antennas for the low bands.
What DX have you worked lately?

A car has ended up in Tal-y-llyn for the second time in six months. An elderly driver and her dog were helped to safety by two young passing motorists after she had failed to take the bend across the water from us. Ricky was about to go for his regular training run round the lake when he heard a big bang: "I was absolutely staggered to look across the water to see a green car in the lake. While John called the emergency services I ran over and luckily the driver was being helped out of the water by two young people who had been passing. The elderly lady was obviously shaken but seemed unhurt." The crash happened just hours after The Tal-y-llyn pass had been opened again to traffic. (See previous news blog) The road had been closed since last Sunday.
Last October chef Ricky made the front page of the Cambrian News when he jumped into the lake to make sure no-one was trapped after another vehicle had left the road at almost the same place and had endedupside down.

Nearly 300 juvenile green sea turtles have died at a government-funded breeding farm in the Cayman Islands, officials said.
The Cayman Turtle Farm in West Bay said the 299 young reptiles died this week after a water line broke and affected the water supply to several tanks.
Officials said water stopped flowing as crews repaired the pipe, and a back-up system failed.
They added that the turtles that died represent less than 5% of the population at the farm.
The farm has roughly 490 turtles for breeding and more than 7,000 as part of a release programme.

Rising market slams short-sellers
Equity hedge funds are doing fine with their long positions but are 'getting killed' on the short side, with some experiencing their biggest losses in more than a decade.
Short-sellers are facing their worst losses in at least a decade, a Wall Street Journal analysis has found, as many of the rising stocks they bet against have only continued to soar.
That has stung several high-profile hedge-fund managers, including William Ackman and David Einhorn, who have placed prominent short bets.
In the Russell 3000 ($THX) index, the 100 most heavily shorted stocks are sharply outperforming the average returns of stocks in the index, according to an analysis of data provided by S&P Capital IQ. The shorted stocks are up by an average of 33.8% through Aug. 16, versus 18.3% for all stocks in the index.
The gap between the performance of the most-shorted shares -- as measured by percent of total shares outstanding at the beginning of the year -- and the market as a whole is wider than it has been in at least a decade.
"If you just took hedge funds' long positions, you would have pretty stellar performance," said Greg Dowling of Fund Evaluation Group, a Cincinnati-based investment firm that invests client money in hedge funds. "It's on the short side where guys have been getting killed."
Stock hedge funds are expected to outperform when markets fall but underperform during bull runs, since they generally hedge their bets by betting against stocks.
But the gap is wider than usual. Through July, stock hedge funds returned 7.7% on average, compared with 19.6% by the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX), including dividends.
In short-selling, an investor sells borrowed shares in hopes of buying them back later at a lower price, and pocketing the difference. When the price goes up instead, the investor suffers a loss.
To some managers, the current dynamic is reminiscent of the final days of the dot-com bubble, when stocks continued to rise despite high valuations of many Internet companies.
"It's actually more painful now than it was in '99," said veteran short seller Andrew Left of Beverly Hills, Calif.-based Citron Research. He called the outperformance of widely shorted stocks this year "a fairy tale" driven by institutions chasing returns.
A losing trade for Left since July has been electric-car maker Tesla Motors (TSLA), one of the most heavily shorted stocks in the market. Tesla's stock price has gone up 353% this year, including a 76% rise since May 21.
A Tesla spokeswoman declined to comment. In April, Tesla CEO Elon Musk jabbed on Twitter at doubters: "Seems to be some stormy weather over in Shortville these days."
(Article continues below video)
Waiting for the market
Other heavily shorted companies that have kept rising are Zillow (Z), up 199% this year; Questor Pharmaceuticals (QCOR), up 157%; and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR), up 100%. Green Mountain declined to comment; spokespeople for Zillow and Questcor said the short sellers often didn't understand their businesses or were focused on short-term price swings in the stock.
As happened with the Internet boom, Left and other managers believe their short positions will be proved right -- eventually.
Meanwhile, some hedge funds are posting lackluster results.
Hedge-fund Dialectic Capital Management told investors in a recent letter that its heavily short-biased fund was down 13.3% for the year through July, with a 6.3% loss in July alone. Its flagship fund, which is market-neutral, was down 3.7%. The firm managed $830 million at the end of last year, according to a regulatory filing.
Dialectic, which has bet against stocks including Herbalife (HLF) and Nu Skin Enterprises (NUS), according to a person familiar with the firm, is exiting some money-losing short positions and focusing on investments with a better chance of paying off soon.
"In a raging bull market, we just can't wait around for the market to realize we are right," its letter to investors said.
Nu Skin's share price has more than doubled so far this year. A company spokeswoman said the company had "strong fundamentals."
Herbalife's stock price has roughly doubled this year, also creating losses for Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management, which announced a more than $1 billion bet against the company in December.
Ackman defended his investment on Aug. 20. "Herbalife is a pyramid scheme," he said. "We've not learned one fact that is inconsistent with that conclusion."
Herbalife has rejected Ackman's allegations and said it is a legitimate business. An Herbalife spokesman said "the facts clearly do not support" Ackman's short position against the company.
Funds that have performed better still have been hurt by their short bets.
The $2.1-billion Lakewood Capital Management, based in New York, returned 0.1% in the second quarter, with the firm's gains from bets on stocks largely canceled out by losses on short positions. Through Aug. 9, Lakewood had gained more than 8%, according to a person familiar with the firm.
"It has been a challenging period for short selling in recent months with companies of questionable value regularly registering impressive stock price gains, often in the absence of any meaningful positive developments," wrote Lakewood founder Anthony Bozza in a July investor letter.
Einhorn's $8.8 billion Greenlight Capital returned 1.2% in the second quarter, and gains in July were nearly halved by losses on shorts, according to communications with investors. For the first seven months of the year, the fund rose 10.7%.
Greenlight has been shorting Green Mountain, whose shares slumped after Einhorn raised questions about its growth prospects in the fall of 2011. But the shares this year have risen briskly.
Investors and managers say the shorted stocks that are outperforming are getting a boost from hedge funds covering their shorts, or buying back shares at a loss, in what is known as a "short squeeze" when it happens en masse. That in turn pushes the stock price higher.
Some short sellers expect the end of the Federal Reserve's massive bond-buying program to drive down share prices of certain companies. Already in August, the markets have experienced consecutive down days that have helped short positions.But for most of 2013, small dips in the market have been followed by bigger jumps.
Bozza, of Lakewood, is waiting out the market. He wrote he had often seen stocks he was short -- whose share price had risen dramatically untethered to significant developments -- later collapse "in spectacular fashion."
That remains a possibility for Tesla, his worst-performing short, he wrote. "While we certainly respect the possibility we could be wrong here," Bozza wrote, "our continued evaluation of Tesla has reinforced our conviction in our short position."
More from The Wall Street Journal:
A super great article. The Hedge Funds and their allies HFT fully deserve the battering they're receiving.
For over two years they have depressed the market with their short sale strategy at the expense of the small investors. They have made a ton of money with a strategy which encourages declining prices thereby creating and nurturing the uncertainties and fear impeding the rate of recovery which the small investors were desperately seeking.
One day these hedgies will realize and accept that the reason a stock price is moving against their position is usually because they're in it. That's true whether their position is short or long. There is always some other BSD in the market with more money to squeeze you out of your position. Icahn eats Ackman, then Soros eats Icahn, and so on and so on. Sadly for the rest of us, that is largely what the market in these fast, hot money stocks du jour has become. It has nothing to do with underlying value, fair trading, or efficient allocation of capital to good businesses. It's just a battle of the titans with the biggest bank rolls to see who can bankrupt the other guy by squeezing him out of his position first. If you aren't one of those titans, I would stay as far away from any of these stocks as you can get, unless you like being a squeezee.
While shorting a stock can bring your portfolio some good cash flow, it also lowers the overall value of that portfolio. And while this is one of my favorite things to do to the 'big boys' so I can redistribute the profits within my own community, I also am very selective on which equities I short.
Apple for example, has been rising consistently since coming off it lows. I see this this company doing quite well going into the fall & winter- folks will be snapping up those new phones for Christmas.
Shorting is just ONE tool in your 'toolbox', not the 'fix all', solve everything for you method.
You also expose yourself to lose much more than just your initial investment, so this should not be your everyday method of trading.
What comes around, goes around. Shorts will make a killing soon. And the herd that is long, well... they've now got it coming and great will the fall of it be.
To be long in this equities market with all the warning and caution signs is ludicrous. Don't these bulls see it as a bubble? A cheap money, Fed induced, glorification of excessive optimism. Well enjoy the top of the rollercoaster today, for tomorrow is all downhill and the ride will have been spent.
Some have better computer programs than others, the best programs win. Real money is not talking with or telling others what they are doing. We know nothing about what big money is, where it is, or what's going on. Big money wins.
Good Luck to all of us little folks.
Big danger is Uncle Sam, he can change the rules at any time and never tell us.

I made these when the recipe was printed, and they turned out just like the real things (as the other reviewers have noted they are not that much lighter). I had lost the recipe, so I am happy to find it online. I made them just as printed, but I would like to try to let them rise overnight in the fridge. I made the "make-ahead ooey-gooey buns" because of the high reviews, but I found these much better.
Caramel-Pecan Sticky Buns
Cordesika Posted: 12/26/08
kaesha Posted: 02/28/10
My husband and I love this recipe. He begs me to make it! Because there's only two of us in the house, I'll often divide the recipe into two pans and freeze one of them for another weekend. Because I don't have a 9" pan, I end up cutting more like 18-20 rolls (which lowers the calorie count). Unlike one of the PP, I've never had a problem with the caramel crystallizing.
dsl145 Posted: 12/06/09
The caramel should almost have a bit more of an explanation on how to do it first, plus I think if would be better to do as a a final drizzle rather than baking it in. It hardened and was a pain to clean up... plus it just didn't have the right texture. Next time I make it I'll try to adapt it a bit. The bun part was AWESOME though.
Emscot20 Posted: 01/08/10
Very good!
jdunton1 Posted: 11/28/10
Yummy! I didn't have a 9 inch square pan and had to use my 8x8, which was too small. but they were really good and fun/easy to make.
CSloan1969 Posted: 04/29/11
Next time double the caramel mixture and add more nuts;
CukinTX Posted: 04/08/12
This was my first time cooking with yeast on my own. It was super easy and turned out fantastic. I took CSloan's advice and doubled the topping and am glad I did. Mine never got brown on top, but I took took them out after 25 min anyway and they were cooked perfectly. Run a knife around the outside before inverting because I had a little sticking on the sides, but no sticking on the bottom at all.
klwhitney Posted: 10/11/13
As others suggested, I increased the caramel. I live at 6500 feet above sea level, so I often have to adjust recipes slightly. This is no exception. The flavors are amazing (it's hard not to eat the whole pan myself!), but they were a bit doughy even though I cooked them 10 minutes longer than suggested. It has so much potential, though, that I can't give it less than five stars for something as minor as a cooking time needing changed. Next time I will cook it for about 40 minutes instead of the 20 it specifies and use a 9x13 pan because it was insanely hard to even get twelve into the 9x9 pan. The family really liked this, but one person suggested increasing the cinnamon slightly.
