- After a historic Brexit vote, Brean Capital is looking at software stocks in terms of their exposure to the continent and Britain.
- The vote means near-term volatility for currency rates, Yun Kim notes, that could have an outsize impact on companies with stronger exposure outside America.
- Meanwhile, companies like Intuit (INTU -2.8%) have a stronger U.S. element in their revenue mix. "We note that INTU has the least amount of exposure outside of the U.S. (less than 5% of revenue), with MANH [Manhattan Associates, -3.6%] and CRM [Salesforce.com, -2.9%] having less than 10% exposure in the U.K. based on our estimates," Yun Kim writes.
- Meanwhile, companies like MicroStrategy (MSTR -3.2%) have 15% exposure to the UK and 30% to Europe; Qlik Technologies (QLIK -1.1%) has 10% exposure to the UK and 49% to Europe, and Varonis Systems (VRNS -5.1%) has 18% exposure to the UK and 35% to Europe.
- Holding Buy ratings from Brean: Salesforce.com (price target of $110, implying 38% upside); Intuit (price target of $130, implying 22.7% upside); Manhattan Associates (price target of $75, implying 17.7% upside); and Varonis (price target of $35, implying 43.6% upside).

- Deferred revenue/cash flow: On-balance-sheet deferred revenue rose 29% Y/Y in FQ4 to $4.29B, a slight improvement from FQ3's 28% growth.

- Press Release
Wed, Feb. 10, 10:56 AM
- A day after Jefferies upgraded Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) to Hold, CLSA's Ed Maguire has upgraded to Buy. His target is $78.
- Maguire calls the 28% 2016 drop in Salesforce shares "a buying opportunity for the premier pure-play SaaS franchise with substantial scale advantages, a culture of leading-edge innovation and burgeoning [cloud app] platform business poised as the fundamental growth engine for the long term."
- He adds Salesforce's op. margin has been growing for the last three years, and that the company is charging more for its new Lightning Experience apps than prior versions. "We think this is largely justifiable given the significant product enhancements over the last year and we do not anticipate meaningful pushback."
- Maguire notes shares are trading at 25x CLSA's 2016 free cash flow/share estimate of $2.17. "For a company with sustainable growth in the high 20% range with margin expansion, we think this is a reasonable entry point." FQ4 results are due in two weeks.
Tue, Feb. 9, 11:08 AM
- With shares having fallen 20% from last Thursday's close thanks to a massive cloud software stock selloff, Jefferies' John DiFucci has upgraded Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) to Hold. His target is $54.
- DiFucci states industry talks suggest Salesforce's enterprise business has improved over the past few quarters - "We attribute this performance to exceptional sales leadership and execution, which we have always identified as the biggest risk of being short the stock." - and that a partner survey suggests mid-market momentum is strong.
- He does caution Salesforce faces tough comps for FQ4, and that subscription annual contract value growth is slowing. DiFucci also declares the cost of Salesforce's growth to be "egregious." FQ4 results arrive after the close on Feb. 24.
Mon, Feb. 8, 2:37 PM
- Many tech stocks are seeing 6%+ losses as investors flee to safety yet again. The Nasdaq is down 3.4%, and the S&P 2.7%.
- As was the case on Friday following Tableau and LinkedIn's disappointing guidance, a slew of enterprise tech stocks are seeing big losses, with cloud software and security tech names well-represented on the casualty list.
- Also: Solar stocks are having another brutal day (TAN -6.7%) as energy stocks get routed amid fears Chesapeake Energy is close to bankruptcy. WTI crude oil is once more near $30/barrel.
- Enterprise software decliners: Adobe (ADBE -9.6%), Paylocity (PCTY -19.1%), Salesforce (CRM -9.9%), Workday (WDAY -12%), Guidewire (GWRE -12.5%), ServiceNow (NOW -11.5%), Zendesk (ZEN -13.8%), Paycom (PAYC -13.4%), Marin Software (MRIN -10.3%), Castlight (CSLT -8.4%), Cornerstone OnDemand (CSOD -12.1%), Atlassian (TEAM -13.2%), inContact (SAAS -9.6%), and Bazaarvoice (BV -14.5%).
- Enterprise security decliners: Palo Alto Networks (PANW -12.2%), FireEye (FEYE -9.8%), CyberArk (CYBR -11.5%), Proofpoint (PFPT -12.7%), Qualys (QLYS -8.9%), Imperva (IMPV -9.7%), Rapid7 (RPD -9.4%), and Barracuda (CUDA -8.4%).
- Solar decliners: SunEdison (SUNE -11.3%), SunPower (SPWR -8.8%), JinkoSolar (JKS -7.6%), SolarEdge (SEDG -7.9%), Yingli (YGE -7.1%), TerraForm Power (TERP -10.7%), and TerraForm Global (GLBL -9.2%).

- Previously covered: Yelp, Cognizant, Tableau, Globant, Ambarella, European tech stocks
Fri, Feb. 5, 11:01 AM
- A long list of enterprise software and security tech names are off sharply after business intelligence/analytics software upstart Tableau (down 45.3%) reported slower-than-expected license revenue growth and issued below-consensus Q1/2016 guidance.
- Also possibly weighing: LinkedIn (down 39.6%), which derives a large % of its revenue from cloud-based recruiting and sales tools for enterprises, issued weak Q1/2016 guidance.
- Given the magnitude of the drops, margin calls and forced selling by funds could be playing a big role. The Nasdaq is down 2.2%.
- Tableau suggested its growth slowdown has to do with softening IT spend and a need to improve sales productivity, but analysts have raised questions about competition from the likes of Microsoft, Amazon, and Qlik. LinkedIn forecast a growth slowdown for its field sales hiring solutions business, while blaming European/Asian macro pressures. The company also noted its display ad business continues declining amid weak industry growth.
- Major enterprise software decliners include Splunk (SPLK -23.7%), Workday (WDAY -15.1%), Adobe (ADBE -7%), Zendesk (ZEN -15.2%), ServiceNow (NOW -13.6%), NetSuite (N -12.4%), Salesforce (CRM -11.2%), Paycom (PAYC -10.6%), Ellie Mae (ELLI -11.5%), Cornerstone OnDemand (CSOD -7.8%), Veeva (VEEV -7.7%), Ultimate Software (ULTI -9%), Luxoft (LXFT -7.5%), Manhattan Associates (MANH -8.5%), Box (BOX -6.6%), Guidewire (GWRE -13.6%), Demandware (DWRE -9.3%), Hortonworks (HDP -9.7%), and Tableau rival Qlik (QLIK -16.6%). The casualty list includes many cloud software firms, as well as several analytics software plays. Previously covered: New Relic, Atlassian.
- Major decliners among security tech firms: Palo Alto Networks (PANW -12%), FireEye (FEYE -8.9%), Rapid7 (RPD -8.6%), CyberArk (CYBR -8.3%), Proofpoint (PFPT -8%), Imperva (IMPV -8.3%), Fortinet (FTNT -6.9%), and Vasco (VDSI -5.1%). The selloff comes in spite of an FQ3 beat and in-line FQ4 guidance from Symantec, which has been losing share to various upstarts.
Fri, Feb. 5, 9:17 AM
Thu, Jan. 28, 2:53 PM
- Though the Nasdaq is up 0.8%, enterprise cloud software firms Salesforce (CRM -2.7%), Workday (WDAY -3.8%), Demandware (DWRE -4.5%), Veeva (VEEV -3.5%), Cornerstone OnDemand (CSOD -3.3%), Marketo (MKTO -4.4%), Actua (ACTA -2.4%), HubSpot (HUBS -6.2%), and Zendesk (ZEN -2.7%) are lower after cloud IT service management (ITSM) software leader ServiceNow (NOW -16.5%) posted a Q4 billings miss to go with revenue/EPS beats and issued light 2016 sales guidance.
- On ServiceNow's earnings call (transcript), CFO Michael Scarpelli attributed the billings shortfall to a ~$5M forecasting error. Regardless, Mizuho and MKM have responded to the Q4 report by downgrading to Neutral. Mizuho: "We find two [billings] misses in one year concerning." The firm is also worried about a premium valuation, missed quotas by sales reps, and a "large customer's preference to cut payment terms in half."
- MKM is less concerned about the billings miss, and calls Q4 results solid. But the firm is worried about macro pressures, and thinks ServiceNow's track record of major op. margin guidance beats is "unlikely to be sustained given decelerating billings and the current macroeconomic environment."

Nate Allen is a columnist for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. A graduate of the University of Missouri, Allen is a voter for the Heisman Trophy. He has authored three books about the Razorbacks.
Thankfully, the freshman got the votes

FAYETTEVILLE Perhaps college football owes it to Johnny Manziel already to declare the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner the Heisman winner for 2013.
For without Johnny Football, Imaginary Football would epitomize college football's most coveted individual award as the latest national joke.
Notre Dame's Manti Te'o, with the imaginary dead girlfriend off the field and on the field rendered somewhat of an imaginary linebacker when Alabama ran all over him and the Irish in the January national championship game, was the 2012 Heisman runner-up in December to Texas A&M redshirt freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel.
Manziel's 2,029 Heisman voting points, that include 474 first-place votes to Te'o's 1,706 points and 321 first-place votes, was a comfortable margin yet now seems uncomfortably close given what has transpired since the Heisman was presented.
As often happens in the bowl season, luster gets lost for the Heisman winner or top contenders as it did for Te'o against Alabama, though certainly not for Manziel excelling in the Cotton Bowl with 516 yards passing and running while routing Oklahoma.
A bad game like Te'o's is most everybody's reality at some point.
However, there has been nothing like Te'o for losing luster for nothing to do with reality. The dead girlfriend, whose alleged demise from leukemia allegedly inspired Te'o to his great regular season for the then undefeated Irish, turned out to be an online hoax who never existed.
The debate rages on whether Te'o was at best an unwitting dupe of a hoax or, at worst, an active part of a cynical scam to embellish his Heisman Trophy campaign with a tug at the heartstrings story so compelling that major media outlets tripped over themselves to retell it.
Whatever, neither a dupe nor a con man is what the Heisman has in mind, though at least one who won it, O.J. Simpson, was judged far worse decades after his Heisman election.
Nobody knows what lies in Manziel's future. However, it's a cinch his immediate on-the-field past proved he deserved the Heisman that some felt he shouldn't receive simply because he was a freshman.
Thanks now in part to the senior runner-up with the imaginary girlfriend, we can't imagine future worthy freshman Heisman candidates not receiving first-place votes simply because they are freshmen.
At the team-scored Razorback Invitational meet Friday and Saturday at the University of Arkansas' Randal Tyson Indoor Track, fans can preview much of the SEC and NCAA Indoor Championships that Arkansas hosts in February and March.
The men's field includes seven teams in the top 25 - including the top three, Arkansas, reigning NCAA indoor champion Florida and Texas - No. 9 Arizona, No. 10 LSU, No. 16 Florida State and No. 24 Oklahoma.
The women's field includes four of the top five SEC teams, No. 4 LSU, No. 5 Florida, No. 7 Arkansas and No. 17 Georgia, and from outside the SEC No. 12 Arizona, No. 14 Texas, No. 15 Baylor and No. 21 Nebraska.

This place was OK to stay for a couple of days...Kitchen is well equipped, although it requires little more care and maintanance to keep it appealing
It was awful! Outside on the house the drain pipe was attached, which was leaking and the fluid came out onto the sidewalk. The bathroom smelled of sewer pipes were rusty, bathroom fixtures have exfoliated, so that I was injured on one finger. On the toilet, should the used toilet paper in the toilet but in a trash are thrown, the stinking open without lid and accordingly stad. Everything was very unhygienic!
In the room was constantly running the heating and could not stop, even though there were outside 20-30 degrees Celsius. We can not imagine what it's like to endure the summer us. The wardrobe was rocking from one side to the other, so I was afraid that he falls over. In the apartment 4 rooms were rented that had shared kitchen, bathroom and toilet. Some of the visitors have the used dishes not washed and left recklessly dirty in the sink.
Marcos is very nice and tried and phone within easy reach.
The area is inhabited by more vulnerable Pakistani and Indian population. But we do not feel unsafe.
We would never rent the room.
Es war schrecklich! Draußen auf dem Haus war das Abflussrohr befestigt, das undicht war und die Flüssigkeit kam raus auf den Bürgersteig. Das Badezimmer stank nach Kloake, Rohren waren verrostet, Armaturen im Badezimmer haben sich abgeblättert, so dass ich mich auf einem Finger verletzt habe. Auf der Toilette, sollte das benutzte Toilettenpapier nicht in die Toilette sondern in einen Papierkorb geschmissen werden, der offen ohne Deckel stad und dementsprechend stank. Alles war sehr unhygienisch!
Im Zimmer lief ständig die Heizung und ließ sich nicht abstellen, obwohl es draußen 20-30 Grad Celsius waren. Wir können uns nicht vorstellen, wie das im Sommer auszuhalten ist. Der Kleiderschrank schaukelte von einer Seite zur anderer, so dass ich Angst hatte, dass er umkippt. In der Wohnung wurden 4 Zimmer vermietet, die gemeinsame Küche, Badezimmer und Toilette hatten. Einige von den Besuchern haben das benutzte Geschirr nicht gespült und rücksichtslos in der Spüle schmutzig gelassen.
Marcos ist sehr nett und war bemüht und telefonisch gut erreichbar.
Die Umgebung ist von eher sozialschwacher Pakistanischer und Indischer Bevölkerung bewohnt. Wir fühlten uns aber nicht unsicher.
Wir würden nie mehr das Zimmer mieten.
Had a lovely weekend in this apartment. Service was great and quick, and the room was clean and nice.
Only little complaint was that the ironing board wasn't in great condition.
All in all, a really pleasant stay - I will reccomend this to others!
The room and the bathroom were clean as explained, it was very helpful the accomodation so close to Bishopsgate an Liverpool street, Marcos is very agreeable,
I warmly recommend this accomodation.
The situation, reception, bathroom, kitchen. In my opinion it was quite up without any faults.
Terravision buses leave you in the same perpendicular street. And there are several supermarkets to buy the very cheap as Tesco and The Coo-perative.
La situación, la recepción, el baño , la cocina. En mi opinión estuvo todo a la altura y sin ningún fallo.
Los buses de Terravision te dejan en la misma calle perpendicular. Y hay varios supermercados para la compra muy económicos como Tesco o The Coo-perative.
The unbeatable location of the apartment as liverpool street spend four subway lines, plus buses connecting with airports.
As for the prejudice that may have to share an apartment worth nothing because there were no any problem to use the bathroom or the kitchen. The room is not luxurious but what do you expect for 55e night? With a comfortable bed with feather pillows and warm me spare me!
La ubicación del apartamento inmejorable ya que por liverpool street pasan cuatro líneas de metro, además de la conexión con los autobuses de los aeropuertos.
En cuanto al prejuicio que puede tener compartir un apartamento no vale de nada porque no hubieron ningún problema para utilizar el baño ni la cocina. La habitación no es lujosa pero ¿qué esperas por 55e la noche? Con una cama cómoda con cojines y un plumas calentito a mí me sobra!
The apartment is very central, just in front of Liverpool Street station.
The place is nice but, unfortunately, not very tidy.
Everything ok - THANK YOU!
Although Mark is very nice, the room and is beautiful, and it's in Shoreditch and is a nice apartment. The proof is that my wife has been riddled with bug bites. I wish I could post pictures. The room is small, the cupboard falls apart (and has bed bugs!) And you can pull the door five minutes to open it. The bathroom is a mess, broken and small and uncomfortable and full of mosquitoes. It is on the ground floor of a building working class, though not dangerous, has no charm.
We went to a hotel a day before completing the booking and we were not before not find accommodation. With that I think that says it all.
A pesar de que Marcos es muy agradable, la habitación ni es preciosa, ni está en Shoreditch ni es un agradable apartamento. La prueba es que mi mujer se ha quedado plagada de picaduras de chinches. Me gustaría poder poner las fotos. La habitación es pequeña, el armario se cae en pedazos (¡y tiene chinches la cama!) y la puerta te puedes tirar cinco minutos para abrirla. El baño es un asco, roto y pequeño e incómodo y lleno de mosquitos. Está en el bajo de un edificio de clase trabajadora que, aunque no es peligroso, no tiene ningún encanto.
Nos fuimos a un hotel un día antes de terminar la reserva y no nos fuimos antes por no encontrar alojamiento. Con eso creo que se dice todo.
Very good place to stay if you need to catch a train to Stansted Airport from Liverpool Station. It took me about three minutes to walk there. The room was small but clean, bathroom and kitchen were shared with others but also very clean. I was welcomed very friendly at the reception and enjoyed my stay.

Justice Scalia Explains Why Leaving His Seat Vacant Is A Terrible Idea
CREDIT: AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta
Today, Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee agreed that they will not only oppose any nominee Obama makes for the Supreme Court but will not even hold a hearing.
If the Senators stick to this position, which would be unprecedented, it will leave Scalia's seat vacant — and the Supreme Court with just eight Justices — for at least a year and possibly longer.
One person who would not like this idea at all: Antonin Scalia.
In 2004, the Supreme Court heard a case from the Sierra Club challenging the secrecy of the Bush administration's Energy Task Force, which was chaired by Vice President Dick Cheney.
The Sierra Club petitioned Scalia to recuse himself, citing his personal relationship with Cheney. They had, famously, gone duck-hunting together.
Scalia rejected the request and, in so doing, explained the adverse impact of that losing a justice has on the court. Here is the key passage from Scalia's memo, noted by a former law clerk for Scalia, Ian Samuel:
On the Supreme Court, however, the consequence is different: The Court proceeds with eight Justices, raising the possibility that, by reason of a tie vote, it will find itself unable to resolve the significant legal issue presented by the case. Thus, as Justices stated in their 1993 Statement of Recusal Policy: "[W]e do not think it would serve the public interest to go beyond the requirements of the statute, and to recuse ourselves, out of an excess of caution, whenever a relative is a partner in the firm before us or acted as a lawyer at an earlier stage. Even one unnecessary recusal impairs the functioning of the Court." (Available in Clerk of Court's case file.) Moreover, granting the motion is (insofar as the outcome of the particular case is concerned) effectively the same as casting a vote against the petitioner. The petitioner needs five votes to overturn the judgment below, and it makes no difference whether the needed fifth vote is missing because it has been cast for the other side, or because it has not been cast at all.
Here, the Republican Senate is essentially creating an eight person court for an entire year or longer, something that would create the problem Scalia warned about in every single case heard by the Court until his replacement is confirmed.
More broadly, Republican Senators are intent on turning the 2016 presidential election into a referendum on the Supreme Court. Scalia also spoke out against the politicization of the appointments process.
"I am not happy about the intrusion of politics into the judicial appointment process," Scalia said in 2010.

Stupid, and in poor taste. Also, the tagline is misleading. As it is, it means that in exchange for my confessions (or yours), individuals (other people) will get free massages, etc. Shouldn't it be In exchange for their confessions, individuals will receive... ? Just my 2 cents.

Linear-dendritic polymeric amphiphiles as carriers of doxorubicin—In vitro evaluation of biocompatibility and drug delivery
In our recent work, we have explored the formation of chemotherapeutic delivery vehicles constructed from four different amphiphilic linear-dendritic hybrid block copolymers. These micelles were found to form about 100-nm-sized structures that were capable of sequestering doxorubicin at loading efficiencies up to 22%. Here, the cellular toxicity of these biocompatible and biodegradable linear-dendritic hybrid materials was evaluated on two breast cancer cell lines and primary human macrophages. The micelles were found not to affect the cellular viability at concentrations below 35 μg mL−1. After drug loading, these constructs could deliver an efficient dose of drugs, resulting in significant decreases in cell viability. Kinetic studies indicated that the drug formulation in the polymer micelles slowed down the cell uptake compared with the nonformulated drug, but similar efficacy in viability reduction and cell apoptosis were found. Taken together, these linear-dendritic hybrid materials represent an interesting novel architecture for the construction of drug delivery systems. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Just returned from Spain, and we very much enjoyed our stay at the Reina Cristina. The room was squeaky clean and large by EU standards. The decor in the hotel proper was a combination of rustic and elegant. We were on a special senior rate which was appreciated. The breakfast was delicious, especially the bread pudding. The location is top notch, so much is within easy walking distance. All in all, an excellent value.

Luca and Giovanna (luca's mother) were great and helpful hosts.
Since we arrived they were careful and give us instruction about restaurant, beaches and local amenities.
The flat is clean, tidy, extremely spacious and very well equipped.
Beaches are at walkable distance.
We really enjoyed our stay at their place and we really recommend it to all of the Wimdu family!!!
10 e lode
Grazie Mille
Nice location combined with comfortable and cosy flat gave us a comfortable stay, although there are some issues to improve, like lack of water at night. Nevertheless, we would recommend this location to other Wimdu users.
P.S. Luca is very helpful and friendly host.

OK, I know ranking the top 100 baseball players since expansion in 1961 is a daunting, tricky exercise wrought with endless debate. Yeah, but it's what I do. There's no doubt in my mind that 100 leading baseball experts would rank this list 100 different ways.
First of all, I have to set a few boundaries. Well, one anyway. How do I account for players who crossed over the 1961 season? Stan Musial played until 1963. Mickey Mantle until 1968. Warren Spahn was still pitching in 1965. Ernie Banks was asking to play two at Wrigley as late as 1971.
I ruled players who played an overwhelming portion of their productive seasons prior to 1961 ineligible. So the above list of players is not included. Willie Mays and Hank Aaron are included because they were extremely productive throughout the 1960s.
And the final caveat is that the ranking is based on the player's entire body of work. So, yeah, it may seem a bit inconsistent to include Mays' and Aaron's time before 1961, but this is my list and those are my rules.
Also the list of criteria is endless. I considered raw numbers, sabermetrics, the eye test, peak performance during prime seasons, postseason success, longevity, and, yes, character issues. Enjoy. I included current players as if their careers ended today. There are no assumptions or guesses as to how good Mike Trout might be over the next 15 years, or even Miguel Cabrera over the next five, for that matter. One of the questions I kept asking over and over was, "If I were a GM, would I rather have Player A or Player B on my team for their entire career?"
Here goes, let the debate commence!
The big fella walked to the mound from the bullpen like he was on his last leg then blew away hitters for 478 saves.
The Curacao native burst onto the scene with back-to-back homers in his first two World Series at-bats as a 19-year old in 1996.
Torre earned the NL MVP in 1971 with a .363 average as a third baseman for St. Louis.
Somewhat of a late bloomer, Ortiz was released by the Twins after the 2002 season. His first 11 seasons in Boston produced a 148 OPS+.
The quiet Martinez never did great work with the glove and couldn't outrun most catchers, but man could he rake.
A real workhorse in the 1980s, Morris was the ace of three World Series winners with three different organizations.
Three times Sosa clouted more than 60 home runs, but either Barry Bonds or Mark McGwire hit more in those seasons. He does have a pair of home run titles, but no slugging or OPS crowns.
This ranking proves that I'm a fan of defense and small ball. And what's wrong with that?
The fluid Beltran plays the game effortlessly, which some mistake for effort-less play. His numbers in 51 postseason games project to 48 homers, 120 RBIs, 135 runs and 33 stolen bases over a full season.
His numbers suffered in Montreal, then benefitted from rare air in Denver.
Somehow his magnificent numbers — and they are magnificent — seem a bit hollow.
Big Mac burst onto the scene with 49 homers as a rookie in 1987. Then his forearms burst onto the scene when he bashed 70 homers in an epic home run chase in 1998.
Detroit's current ace will certainly move up this list, possibly into the top 30 eventually. After two starts in 2014, he has 100 more strikeouts than hits allowed in his career.
Few players had more fun than Puckett, but several players yet to be elected to the Hall of Fame had better numbers than his 2,304 hits, 1,071 runs and 1,085 RBIs.
From 1982-87, Murph was outstanding, including back-to-back MVPs, otherwise he was just an average outfielder hitting below .250.
The highlight reel with the glove also had a .989 OPS from 2000 to 2005. He was productive when healthy, but staying on the field proved to be a challenge.
Sheffield won a batting title in 1992 and OPS crown in '96. He enjoyed seven seasons of 100 or more runs and eight 100-plus RBI campaigns.
The 62nd-round draft pick made 12 All-Star teams, batted .308 with 427 home runs and was a two-time MVP runner-up.
Sweet Lou teamed with Alan Trammell for 18 years in Detroit. Whitaker has a higher WAR (Wins Above Replacement) than Hall of Famers Robbie Alomar and Ryne Sandberg.
It's difficult to separate Trammell from his long-time double-play partner. From 1980-90, the second sacker received four Gold Gloves and three Silver Sluggers.
His trade to Montreal at the end of the 1976 season spelled the end of the Big Red Machine. He was never THE best in the league, but for 15 years he was certainly among the best.
Cha Cha, aka the Baby Bull, won an MVP in 1967 for the world champs in St. Louis. He was runner-up to Frank Robinson in 1961.
He came to the U.S. in 2001 after a solid career in Japan that included 1,278 hits. He has since added 2,742 knocks as of the start of his 14th season stateside.
The most indelible memory of his final season last year is when Pettitte went to the mound with Derek Jeter to tell Mariano Rivera, "It's time to go."
After the 1986 season, Rock had just completed six All-Star campaigns, won a batting title and finished sixth in MVP voting. Yet, he received no significant offers in free agency, which forced him to re-sign with Montreal on May 1. He, along with Andre Dawson, were the most affected victims of the owners' collusion. Although he missed the first month of the 1987 season, he still led the NL with 123 runs.
The 11-time All-Star finished second in MVP voting in 1980 and third in '86. He won an RBI title in 1984 with a scant 106 ribbies.
The Killer's .256 batting average is a bit pedestrian, but his career .376 OBP and .509 slugging give his .884 OPS a 143 OPS+. He won six home run titles and swatted 40-plus twice more in seasons he didn't take the crown.
Larkin won three Gold Gloves when Ozzie Smith was still in the league. I would like to have seen him play more. He took the field for 140 or more games just seven seasons and had enough plate appearances to qualify for the batting title just 10 times.
Miggy is one of only three Triple Crown winners on this list. He has potential to hit his way into the top 20.
Arguably the best hitter of his generation, Manny put together a 12-year run from 1995-2006 when he averaged 1.021 OPS (159 OPS+). But getting busted twice for PED use clouds his entire career.
Prior to 2012, he had a four-year average of 19-9, 2.59 ERA and 242 innings. He led his league in complete games seven times in nine years, winning two Cy Young awards.
The Hall of Famer played in 2,488 games, but no World Series. The Whistler, Ala., native is among seven players to amass 400 doubles and 400 homers between 1950 and 1980.
The owner of 612 home runs, Thome's favorite targets were Rick Reed (9), Roger Clemens (8) and Justin Verlander (7).
Owns a .418 batting average in World Series games. Molitor also stroked 2,160 hits after his 30th birthday.
His devastating curveball led to 3,701 whiffs and 60 shutouts. He topped 265 innings in a season nine times.
Moose retired following the only 20-win season of his classy career. He won 18 or more games six times.
Fan favorite in Chicago was one of the best defensive third basemen in game. He hit for power and drew walks in a pitcher-dominated era.
The speedster is the only player with as many as 12 hits in a single World Series twice. Stealing bases at a record pace is his primary claim to fame, but he totaled more than 3,000 hits and 1,600 runs.
Once started at quarterback at the University of Tennessee ahead of Peyton Manning while doubling as closer for R.A. Dickey while being the best hitter in a lineup that played in the College World Series. Chuck Klein, Lou Gehrig and Helton are the only players ever with two seasons of 100 extra-base hits. And Helton is the only one to pull it off in back-to-back seasons.
The strong-armed right fielder left the anonymity of Montreal for an MVP season in Anaheim in 2004. He wasn't exactly a league leader, as the only categories he ever led were runs once, hits once, total bases twice, caught stealing once and grounded into double plays once. But from 1998-2005 he posted an impressive 153 OPS+.
Threw at least 200 innings in every non-strike season from 1966-86. He earns this ranking more due to his longevity and durability than he does with spectacular exploits. He was very, very good for a long, long time.
Made the All-Star team as catcher and second baseman. No one else can claim that. He also had more than 3,000 hits, 650 doubles and 400 stolen bases. Only Tris Speaker and Ty Cobb can claim that.
The Hawk spent his best seasons in Montreal, but received much more notoriety in Chicago. He finished second in MVP voting in 1981 and '83 while with the Expos before winning the award with the Cubs in '87.
Amassed more than 300 saves during an era when long relief and closers were one in the same.
The Hall of Famer was a 10-time All-Star, who won nine Gold Gloves, and an MVP in 1984. From 1989-93, he averaged .300-26-82 with 98 runs — not bad for a Gold Glove second baseman.
Hey, spit happens. But seriously, he made 12 straight All-Star teams and hit an even .300 for his career.
The versatile Goose had 26 saves in 1975, made 29 starts in '76, then had 26 saves again in '77. He intimidated hitters for more than an inning at a time. From 1975-80, 42 percent of his 180 saves covered two innings or more. He once threw 7.1 shutout innings in relief, after pitching the previous day.
The talented athlete was drafted out of the University of Minnesota in the ABA, NBA and NFL as well as No. 4 overall by the Padres. Winfield did not play basketball and football in college, and explained his decision to stick with baseball by claiming he "could be a big man in baseball, a little man in basketball, and a broken man in football."
One of two members of the 600-save club (Mariano Rivera), Hoffman finished second in NL Cy Young voting twice (1998, 2006). He averaged 34.5 saves over his 16 seasons in San Diego.
Sabermetricians would bestow a couple of Cy Youngs on Knucksie and even an MVP. The knuckleballer seem to improve with age. He earned 121 wins after turning 40 and had only 31 before his 30th birthday.
Whether he actually had Vaseline on his cap or uniform, every distracted hitter (and manager) in the league thought he did. It may seem like he hung around way too long, but he tossed a six-hit shutout at Texas for the Royals 12 days shy of his 45th birthday.
Made 36 or more starts seven times. The Dominican Dandy had 10 shutouts and a save in 1965.
Haunted by PED innuendo, Bagwell put together 12 straight seasons not shortened by labor issues of more than 600 plate appearances. Only 20 players from this era have 1,500 runs and RBIs, and Bagwell has fewer plate appearances than any of them.
We all remember the batting titles and 3,000 hits, but he won five Gold Gloves and once stole 56 bases. His batting average is 10 points better than any other player during this era with as many as 5,000 plate appearances.
The Hall of Famer won five batting titles within the first six seasons in which he had enough qualifying plate appearances. He regressed to a .312 average and .400 OBP over his next eight seasons.
Martinez, the only pitcher in history with 3,000 strikeouts, a 4.0 K/BB ratio and a .680 winning percentage, was as good as anyone when he was at his best. It's just that his best didn't last long enough. His 2000 season may have been the best ever. The AL batted .276 with a .792 OPS and pitchers had a combined 4.91 ERA and 1.490 WHIP. Pedro's numbers in those categories? .167, .473, 1.74 and 0.737.
After three near misses in his early 30s, Pops shared his only MVP award at age 39. His best effort was his .299/.392/.646, 44-homer 1973 season when he finished second to Pete Rose for NL MVP honors.
Stretch protected Willie Mays in the Giants' lineup in the 1960s. McCovey batted .336 and slugged .680 in 128 at-bats off of Hall of Famer Don Drysdale.
Carew chased .400 in 1977 to end at .388 with an MVP trophy. The second baseman-turned-first baseman made 18 consecutive All-Star teams.
Yount won an MVP at short and center. From 1974-84, he played shortstop exclusively. From 1985-93, he played in 1,307 games, none of them at short.
The righthander struck out 3,192 and walked just 997. Jenkins was in the top three in voting for the Cy Young award five times.
The beloved Brave should never have left Atlanta for New York. Over a 10-year period from 1991-2000, he won two Cy Young awards, finished second twice and third twice.
Eclipsed 3,000 hits, but missed 400 homers by one. The right fielder had his best season — and 1,200 hits — prior to the Expansion Era, but had a better career — and 1,807 hits — afterwards. The consistent Kaline's career monthly splits, April through September: .292, .295, .295, .296, .298 and .307.
Only Barry Bonds with 10 had more 100-run, 100-RBI, 100-walk seasons than Thomas' nine during this era. Big Hurt, a former tight end at Auburn, hit .330 with a 182 OPS+ over his first eight seasons with the Sox before turning 30.
Lost a full season to Tommy John surgery, but the ultimate team player turned into a dominant closer for three years before returning to a starting role. His success as both a starter and closer certainly factor into this ranking.
The Ryan Express has 839 more strikeouts than anyone. Ever. His 3,270 strikeouts at home alone would rank 12th all-time.
Steady Eddie never captured an MVP, but he is one of four players with 3,000 knocks and 500 big flies.
In Oakland, Baltimore, New York and California, he was the straw that stirred the drink. From 1971-86, his teams missed the playoffs just twice.
Jones is one of 13 players during the era with 1,600 runs and RBIs. During his first nine seasons in the majors, he averaged .309-31-105 with a .404 OBP and 142 OPS+.
The righthander is one of two pitchers with as many as 150 wins and saves. After 12 seasons and 359 starts, Eck reinvented himself as a dominant closer that earned him a Cy Young and MVP in 1992. Haunted by his walk to Mike Davis that set up Kirk Gibson's famous home run in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series, the righthander walked just 12 unintentionally in 207 innings over the next three seasons.
Pudge II is widely considered the best throwing catcher ever, although Yadier Molina is a threat to that title. I-Rod owns the record for most doubles in a season (47) by a catcher.
There is an indelible memory of Pudge waving that walk-off homer fair in Game 6 of the 1975 World Series. Fisk tied Joe Rudi with nine triples to lead the AL in 1972. The only other catcher to lead his league during this era was Tim McCarver with 13 in 1966.
By most any metric — and especially the naked eye — he remains the gold standard for saving runs for pitchers. The question becomes how to rank superior glove work against superior offense.
The Hall of Fame has yet to welcome the all-time hit king who was Rookie of the Year in 1963 and MVP 10 years later. In 1989, I was completely supportive of Rose's lifetime ban. Now? I think he's paid the price.
He showed the world how skilled he was with the glove during the 1970 World Series when he also hit .429 to earn MVP honors.
At age 20, he shut out the Dodgers against Sandy Koufax in the 1966 World Series. At age 37, he was the winning pitcher in relief of Mike Flanagan in Game 3 of the 1983 World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies and Steve Carlton.
A beloved player throughout baseball, Clemente collected his 3,000th hit in his final regular-season at-bat before a tragic plane crash took his life. His final appearance in uniform came in Game 5 of the 1972 NLCS. Tom Hall of the Reds issued an intentional walk to Clemente to bring up Hall of Famer Willie Stargell.
The Hall of Fame third baseman had an OPS+ of at least 120 for 16 consecutive seasons. Left off just nine of 497 HOF ballots in 1999. His 298 total bases led the American League in 1976, but three years later his total of 363 did not.
Yaz became an all-time favorite in Boston after replacing the great Ted Williams in left field. Over a five-year period from 1966-70 that included his Triple Crown season of 1967, Yaz averaged 33 homers, 98 ribbies and 101 runs with a 159 OPS+.
The Sandman was perhaps the best at his job — as well as the classiest — of anyone who has ever put on a uniform. He owns at least two wins or two saves against 29 teams.
Hoot made nine World Series starts and logged 81 innings. In 1968-69, 12 of the 23 homers Gibson gave up were to Hall of Famers (52 percent).
No one stole bases (1,406) or scored runs (2,295) like Rickey did. And oh by the way, he stroked more than 3,000 hits and drove home more than 1,100 as well. During his prime, he was twice traded in deals involving Eric Plunk.
Breaking Lou Gehrig's consecutive game streak in 1995 brought fans back to baseball after the disastrous labor dispute in '94. The Iron Man is one of only eight players with 3,000 hits and 400 home runs, but he's the only non-first baseman/outfielder on that elite list.
Perhaps a tad overrated defensively, the Yankee Captain has been a hitting machine his entire career. Only eight men have more hits, and that list is dwindling.
Joins Greg Maddux as the only pitchers to win four consecutive Cy Young awards. The Big Unit is 5-0 against the Yankees in the postseason, with three of the wins coming in the 2001 World Series.
Lefty dominated the National League in the '70s winning 27 for the 59-win Phillies in 1972 with a sub-2.00 ERA. He completed 19 of his 38 starts with six shutouts at age 37. So, why did the Cardinals trade him for Rick Wise?
Won 10 Gold Gloves, back-to-back MVPs and played on six division winners. He won eight home run titles and had seasons of 38 and 45 in which he wasn't first.
An All-Star in Houston before he arrived in Cincinnati, his first five seasons with the Reds produced back-to-back MVPs, four of his five Gold Gloves, and these five-year averages: .303 average, .431 OBP, 22 homers, 62 steals, 113 runs, 118 walks and a 163 OPS+.
The game's best hitter for about a decade looked like one of the best ever from 2001-11. Since then, he's looked, well, rather average. His career OPS+ of 165 ranks 10th all-time.
Perhaps the greatest catcher of all-time, and certainly of this era, Bench retired at age 35. He caught in 154 games at age 20. Due to his short career, the back of his baseball card is rather modest. One stat you won't see is that he nabbed 46 percent of basestealers during his first 11 seasons behind the plate.
From 1962-66, Koufax was as good as any pitcher to ever toe the rubber. Evaluating just those five seasons might be enough to garner the No.1 spot. But, Koufax was 36-40 with a 4.10 ERA six years into the big leagues. A painful left elbow that probably could have been fixed given today's medical advancements, prematurely ended his brilliant career.
It must be a different set of writers voting for the Hall of Fame now than the group that voted to give Clemens seven Cy Young awards. His seven Cys are spread over a 19-year span.
His lingering legacy will most likely be that of whiny, overpaid PED user. But on the field, A-Rod produced as a shortstop and third baseman for three different franchises. He won his only batting title as a 20-year-old shortstop in Seattle with a .358 average, 36 bombs and 54 doubles.
It appears he wasn't an "old 30" after all as the Reds suspected when they traded him in 1965. Best known for winning MVPs in both leagues and for being the first African-American manager, Robinson was much more than that. From 1960-62 he led the National League in slugging and OPS, and that was at the height of Aaron, Mays, Clemente, et al. He followed his first MVP season in 1961 with an even more spectacular year in '62.
The Professor won one more game than Roger Clemens, ranking eighth all-time and first in this era. At the height of the Steroid Era when offensive numbers were shooting through the roof, Maddux won four consecutive Cy Young awards from 1992-95 and averaged 19 wins and a 1.98 ERA and 0.953 WHIP. In 1994, the league average ERA was 4.21, Mad Dog posted an unbelievable 1.56.
Tom Terrific was left off of just five Hall of Fame ballots out of 430 in 1992. He won three Cy Young awards, and probably deserved a fourth when he posted an ERA a run better than Ferguson Jenkins in 1971. Fearing the club would lose its prized starter to free agency, New York traded the ace to the Reds at the deadline in 1977 for Doug Flynn, Steve Henderson, Dan Norman and Pat Zachry. Seaver was 14-3 in 20 starts for the Big Red Machine that season.
Junior hit 398 home runs before his 30th birthday, but injuries and age limited him to just 232 afterwards. Still, 630 is not a bad total. Seattle is a better baseball town because of Ken Griffey Jr.
For those wondering why Bonds ranks below Mays and Aaron, the two icons that top this list never disrespected the game, teammates, opponents or fans. Bonds was a tremendous talent and produced tremendous results. Like him or not, believe he juiced or not, but Bonds electrified crowds on the way to four straight MVPs and 700-something home runs.
Retired as the all-time home run king and second all-time in hits. He now ranks second and third. Consistent at an elite level, over a 15-year period from 1957-71, Aaron averaged 38 home runs, 113 RBIs, 109 runs and a .314 average during a pitching-dominant era. His OPS+ during that stretch was 164.
Arguably the best player in baseball in the 1950s, the Say Hey Kid also won an MVP in 1965. With power, speed, defense and a little flair, Mays brought a level of excitement to the game that had rarely been seen.

India has one of the best potentials for emerging growth over the next few decades. The country is growing fast and requires a great deal of infrastructure over the coming decades to sustain its people.
India is a democracy and has instituted major reforms to attract foreign investment. The country's GDP growth for the quarter ending September, 2007 came in at 8.9%. This was lower than the 10.2% growth achieved in the same quarter last year, but better than the 8.7% economists expected. India's economic growth is second only to China's among the major economies in the world. The Indian government is targeting 9% growth for each of the next five years.
The country, unlike its neighbors, is not pegging its currency, the rupee, to the US dollar and has a current account deficit of about 1% of GDP. India has allowed its currency to appreciate which helps to control inflation for imported commodities. A strong rupee hurts its exporters, but exports are not as large a percentage of GDP as in Eastern Asia and China. India is driven more by internal demand than exports and it is likely to have less exposure if the US economy falls into recession. The rupee is up about 12% versus the US dollar this year. The policies of allowing the rupee to rise may not last forever though and the RBI has occasional bouts of intervention.
This week the World Economic Forum [WEF] met for the India Economic Summit in New Delhi to discuss the country's growing needs. The summit included 800 participants representing over 40 countries. The WEF released a report leading up to the event entitled "India at Risk 2007" (.pdf file).
Highlighted risks include:
- Economic Impact of Demographics
- Loss of Freshwater (Quantity and Quality)
- Economic Shocks and Oil Peaks
- Globalization vs. Protectionism
- Climate Change: The Environment and Challenges to India's Growth
- Infectious Diseases
Emerging Risks
According to the report:
It is clear that India is at an inflection point - the prospect of sustaining 8-10% growth is achievable, but a number of basic challenges are acting as a handbrake on development and need to be addressed. It is well known that the existing infrastructure in India is stretched to its upper limits, and that increased investment is required. But there is also an urgent need for the government, private sector and civil society to collaborate on governance reforms to eliminate corruption and ensure equity in the provision of basic of services such as education, water and sanitation. Finally, much can be gained by removing constraints inherent in inefficient government Bureaucracies, complex tax regulations and labor market rigidities.
Montek Ahluwalia, Deputy Chairman of India's Planning Commission said India wants to spend $500 billion over the next five years including $150 billion provided by the private sector. The country currently spends 5% of GDP on infrastructure, but wants to increase that level to 9% by 2012. The Asian development bank suggests the need may be as high as 12.5%. Either way, there exists opportunities for investors over many years.
As someone who also researches and invests in water, I found these statistics from the report very interesting:
- 83-95% of the people in India have access to drinking water, but only 60-65% have ready access to quality drinking water
- no municipality in India can provide a continuous 24-hour clean drinkable water service
- only 22% (rural) and 59% (urban) of the population have access to adequate sanitation
India will need billions of dollars for investment in pumps, distribution systems, dams and treatment systems for drinking water.
I have been investing in India through The India Fund (NYSE:IFN) for years. IFN is a closed end fund managed by The Blackstone Group. The current management took over the fund in 1997. This allows me to invest in a country where I would not easily be able to setup a brokerage account. The fund gives me the unique opportunity to have direct exposure to India's equity markets in a Roth IRA account. Further, there is no one single industry I am looking to own in India, I want to own all industries for the long term.
Another closed end fund option is The Morgan Stanley India Investment Fund (NYSE:IIF) which started in 1994. IFN and IIF are similar and trade like ETF's. They are both actively managed funds that invest directly in equities listed in India.
The iPath MSCI India Index ETN (NYSEARCA:INP), a third option, was launched last December. This ETN correlates directly to the MSCI India Total Market Index and is not actively managed, hence, its fees are lower. ETN's trade like ETF's, but they are debt instruments. This means their risk is additionally tied to the viability of the issuing company. For INP, all dividends will be paid out when the ETN matures in 30 years. Additionally, INP may have different tax implications for investors than the other two funds mentioned. As with any investment, you will need to do the proper research to make sure any investment works for your strategy.
There is considerable risk investing broadly in India. The country has grown fast and its infrastructure has not kept pace. While this may create an opportunity, the possibility exists for economic, political and environmental pressures in the future. Emerging markets in general are often quite volatile in the short term. Recently, the three India securities mentioned have had a strong run. Investors looking to open a new position may want to be patient and wait for a dip, or a correction. For investors with a long term strategy though, India may offer the potential for a sustained, high level of growth over many years.

A multibus train (ordered demand assignment) communication architecture, using the AMTRAC protocol (for efficient utilization of fiber-optic-based very-high-speed networks) is presented. Taking advantage of the emerging WDM (wavelength-division multiplexing) and FDM (frequency-division multiplexing) technologies, the proposed solution introduces a coordinated multichannel control combining the performance advantages of two known approaches for high-speed communication: multichannel and train protocols. As a result an AMTRAC-based high-speed network achieves channel utilization significantly higher than previous approaches. For a network consisting of N stations, with propagation delay to packet transmission time ratio given by a, the AMTRAC architecture reaches a capacity of 1/(1+a/N 2)

A Romanian man who masterminded the theft of seven masterpieces from a Dutch museum was sentenced to nearly seven years in jail on Tuesday, but the fate of the paintings remains a mystery.
Radu Dogaru, 29, had admitted planning the three-minute heist of works by Picasso, Monet and Gauguin in October 2012 at the Kunsthal museum in Rotterdam, dubbed the "theft of the century" in the Netherlands.
Despite an estimated value of 18 million euros ($24 million), none of the paintings was equipped in the museum with an alarm.
"Radu Dogaru will serve six years and eight months in jail," judge Adrian Ioan Chitoiu said in a Bucharest court. Dogaru stayed in his cell and was not present for the sentencing.
One of his accomplices, Eugen Darie, who drove him to and from the Rotterdam museum also received the same jail term.
The court convicted Darie and Dogaru of "aggravated theft" and "taking part in a criminal organisation".
They both got a reduced sentence because of their guilty pleas.
Prosecutors had requested a 18-year jail term for Dogaru but have not said if they intend to appeal the sentence.
Despite great expectations in the art world, Dogaru's trial did not reveal any clues as to what happened to the works of some of the world's most famous painters.
Among the paintings stolen were Pablo Picasso's "Tete d'Arlequin", Claude Monet's "Waterloo Bridge", and "Femme Devant une Fenetre Ouverte, dite La Fiancee" by Paul Gauguin.
After the theft, Darie transported the paintings to Romania hidden in pillowcases.
They tried several times to sell them but without success.
After the last attempt, an art expert alerted the police leading to the arrest of Dogaru and his accomplices.
But the paintings have not been found and may have been destroyed.
Dogaru first said he could retrieve five of them, but later said without showing proof that they were given to a Ukrainian living in London.
The artworks are feared to have been destroyed after Dogaru's mother, who is also facing trial, said she torched them in her stove in the sleepy village of Carcaliu in eastern Romania, seeking to destroy evidence against her son.
She later retracted her statement, but experts from Romania's National History Museum said ashes retrieved from her stove included the remains of three oil paintings and nails from frames used before the end of the 19th century.
A separate investigation is under way to determine if the masterpieces ended up in ashes in a Romanian village.
With little knowledge of art but eager to steal valuable pieces, Dogaru and his accomplices settled on the Kunsthal by chance.
After searching for museums on their GPS, they initially found themselves at Rotterdam's Museum of Natural History but soon realised its exhibits could not be resold.
They then chanced upon a poster advertising the exhibition of 150 masterpieces from the private Triton Foundation.
The man who is accused of stealing the paintings with Dogaru, Adrian Procop, is still at large.
Three of the alleged accomplices will go on trial as unlike Dogaru and Darie they have not admitted guilt.

This might be a trivial question but I have a simple textbox and a button that will add the item entered in the textbox into a list, as follows:
<input type="text" placeholder="Add New Tag" data-bind="value: tagToAdd, valueUpdate: 'afterkeydown', executeOnEnter: addTag" />
<button data-bind="click: addTag">+ ADD</button>
The program works as intended, but every time after I hit enter and the item is added into the list, the "+ ADD" button is focused and I am unable to type in the textbox unless I use my mouse to click on the textbox again. Is there a way to focus the textbox so I can simply enter my data, press enter, then directly enter a new value without having to pick up the mouse?
Thank you!

The ambience is great with the Cape Dutch architecture. The hotel is well maintained and has a moderate 5* look and feel about it.
The spa is superb and one of the best around - it's full service from the treatment rooms, chill room, jacuzzis, steam rooms, snacks and lounge area, indoor pool - no gym though. I believe they are seeing to this in 2013 though.
The main dining room is cosy and we had a privat wine and food pairing in the wine cellar room - food was good and presentation very nice. Waiters and staff in general were so friendly and helpful.
There is a variety of accommodation to choose from - we were in Superior rooms and they are more than comfortable with all amenities you would want. Free wi-fi through out too which is great.
The pool area has recently been done and it is fabulous for aprivate function or for hanging out on a lounger or on sunbeds IN the jacuzzi pool with a cocktail in hand!
The breakfast buffet is extensive and of good quality as is the lunch buffet.
Conference wise there are more than 20 conference and function rooms to choose from so you can't go wrong.
Price wise this hotel is well priced and slightly more reasonable than competitive products which I think gives it an edge.
Definitely worth going to for a special night way from town that's in accessible proximity to Jhb or Pretoria or for a small or big company event.
