Read "One-Way Electric Vehicle Carsharing in San Diego: An Exploration of the Behavioral Impacts of Pricing Incentives on Operational Efficiency" by Susan Shaheen, Ph.D., Elliot Martin, Ph.D., and Apsaar Bansal.
This project is a two-year evaluation of pricing/incentives applied to the one-way, all electric carsharing system operated by car2go in San Diego, CA. This system is the only electric vehicle-based, one-way carsharing system with instant access (i.e., accessible without reservation) operating in the U.S. The goal of this project is to work with car2go and the San Diego region to develop and evaluate pricing/incentive structures for their members, which improve system operational efficiency (vehicle redistribution, state-of-charge management, use of vehicles placed at public transit stations) and encourage shared-vehicle use.
Read "Understanding Evacuee Behavior: A Case Study of Hurricane Irma" by Stephen Wong; Susan Shaheen, PhD; and Joan Walker, PhD.
In September 2017, Hurricane Irma prompted one of the largest evacuations in U.S. history of over six million people. This mass movement of people, particularly in Florida, required considerable amounts of public resources and infrastructure to ensure the safety of all evacuees in both transportation and sheltering. Given the extent of the disaster and the evacuation, Hurricane Irma is an opportunity to add to the growing knowledge of evacuee behavior and the factors that influence a number of complex choices that individuals make before, during, and after a disaster. At the same time, emergency management agencies in Florida stand to gain considerable insight into their response strategies through a consolidation of effective practices and lessons learned. To explore these opportunities, we distributed an online survey (n = 645) across Florida with the help of local agencies through social media platforms, websites, and alert services. Areas impacted by Hurricane Irma were targeted for survey distribution. The survey also makes notable contributions by including questions related to reentry, a highly under-studied aspect of evacuations. To determine both evacuee and non-evacuee behavior, we analyze the survey data using descriptive statistics and discrete choice models. We conduct this analysis across a variety of critical evacuation choices including decisions related to evacuating or staying, departure timing, destination, evacuation shelter, transportation mode, route, and reentry timing.

Read "The Benefits of Carpooling" by Susan Shaheen, PhD, Adam Cohen, and Alexandre Bayen. Carpooling allows travelers to share a ride to a common destination and can include several forms of sharing a ride, such as casual carpooling and real-time carpooling. Because carpooling reduces the number of automobiles needed by travelers, it is often associated with numerous societal benefitsincluding: 1) reductions in energy consumption and emissions, 2) congestion mitigation, and 3) reduced parking infrastructure demand. In recent years, economic, environmental, and social forces coupled with technological innovations are encouraging shared and pooled services. Shared mobility is changing how people travel and is having a transformative impact on mobility. This chapter reviews key trends impacting the mobility marketplace including the growth of shared mobility and key demographic indicators, such as an aging population and Millennials entering the workforce. For decades, carpooling has been used as a strategy by numerous public agencies and employers as a strategy to address a range of climate, environmental, and congestion mitigation goals, while simultaneously increasing roadway and parking capacity. This chapter discusses how employers and public agencies can support carpooling. This chapter concludes with a summary of key findings from the report.

In recent years, a variety of forces (economic, environmental, and social) have quickly given rise to "shared mobility," a collective of entrepreneurs and consumers leveraging technology to share transportation resources, save money, and generate capital. Bikesharing services, such as BCycle, and business-to-consumer carsharing services, such as Zipcar, have become part of a sociodemographic trend that has pushed shared mobility from the fringe to the mainstream. The role of shared mobility in the broader landscape of urban mobility has become a frequent topic of discussion. Shared transportation modes—such as bikesharing, carsharing, ridesharing, ridesourcing/transportation network companies (TNCs), and microtransit—are changing how people travel and are having a transformative effect on smart cities.
Read "Understanding How Cities Can Link Smart Mobility Priorities Through Data" by Susan Shaheen, PhD, Elliot Martin, PhD, Mikaela Hoffman-Stapleton, and Peter Slowik.
This white paper presents a generalized evaluation framework that can be used for assessing project impacts within the context of transportation-related city projects. In support of this framework, we discuss a selection of metrics and data sources that are needed to evaluate the performance of smart city innovations. We first present a collection of projects and applications from near-term smart city concepts or actual pilot projects underway (i.e., Smart City Challenge, Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Mobility on Demand (MOD) Sandbox, and other pilot projects operating in the regions of Los Angeles, Portland, and San Francisco). These projects are identified and explained in Section 2 of this report. Using these projects as the basis for hypothetical case studies, we present selected metrics that would be necessary to evaluate and monitor the performance of such innovations over time. We then identify the data needs to compute those metrics and further highlight the gaps in known data resources that should be covered to enable their computation. The objective of this effort is to help guide future city planners, policy makers, and practitioners in understanding the design of key metrics 3 and data needs at the outset of a project to better facilitate the establishment of rigorous and thoughtful data collection requirements.
Read "Peer-To-Peer (P2P) Carsharing: Understanding Early Markets, Social Dynamics, and Behavioral Impacts" by Susan Shaheen, PhD, Elliot Martin, PhD, and Apaar Bansal.
Shared mobility services have now become firmly integrated into urban transportation systems across the globe. Carsharing, bikesharing, ridesourcing or transportation network companies (TNCs), and other systems now offer urban travelers access to transportation services that had long been previously only possible through personal vehicle ownership. Carsharing is arguably the pioneer mode of the sharing economy, given it ushered in a new way of thinking and access to the private automobile in the 20th century. Since its North American inception in Montreal in 1994, carsharing has undergone several waves of innovation. With each innovation, carsharing has deployed new functionality, technology, and business models. One of the more prominent innovations in carsharing has been peer-to-peer (P2P) carsharing, which enables individuals to leverage information technology to share their personal vehicles with others in their area. The P2P carsharing industry has gone through some evolution of its own since its initial establishment.

The market for personal mobility is changing rapidly due to shifting social and cultural trends, as well as technological advances such as smartphones, information processing, and widespread data connectivity. Mobility on Demand (MOD) is an innovative transportation concept. On the supply side, transportation providers manage mobility rather than traffic through demand-responsive service, shifting use to alternate modes. On the demand side, mobility consumers reserve, dispatch, or use innovative mobility, public transportation, and goods delivery strategies in place of privately owned vehicles. The most-advanced forms of MOD incorporate trip planning and booking, real-time information, and fare payment into a single-user interface. Modes facilitated through MOD providers can include carsharing, bikesharing, ridesharing, ridesourcing, or transportation network companies (TNCs), scooter sharing, microtransit, shuttle services, public transportation, and other emerging transportation solutions.

Transportation is arguably experiencing its most transformative revolution since the introduction of the automobile. Concerns over climate change and equity are converging with dramatic technological advances. Although these changes – including shared mobility and automation – are rapidly altering the mobility landscape, predictions about the future of transportation are complex, nuanced, and widely debated. California is required by law to renew the California Transportation Plan (CTP), updating its models and policy considerations to reflect industry changes every five years. This document is envisioned as a reference for modelers and decision makers. We aggregate current information and research on the state of key trends and emerging technologies/services, documented impacts on California's transportation ecosystem, and future growth projections (as appropriate).

Shared-use mobility-the shared use of a vehicle, bicycle or other low-speed mode-is an innovative transportation solution that enables users to have short-term access to a transportation mode. In North America, shared-use mobility encompasses the submarkets of carsharing, bikesharing, ridesharing, on-demand ride services, scooter sharing, shuttle services, and other emerging industries. In October 2013, the University of California, Berkeley's Transportation Sustainability Research Center (TSRC) hosted the inaugural Shared-Use Mobility Summit in San Francisco, California. The summit was a two-day event that facilitated a dialogue among nearly 300 participants representing close to 200 organizations. Participants included mobility providers, policymakers, governmental agencies, non-profits, technologists, academics, media, other stakeholders, and affiliated industries. One hundred and five (105) private companies attended the summit, and 62 governmental agencies were represented at the summit. Additionally, 44 academics from 17 universities participated. Of the 194 organizations represented, 26 were affiliated with carsharing, 16 with bikesharing, and 6 were associated with ridesharing and ondemand ride services or transportation network companies (TNCs).

Shared Mobility – the shared use of a vehicle, bicycle, or other low-speed mode – is an innovativetransportation solution that enables users to have short-term access to transportation modes on an "as-needed" basis. Shared mobility includes carsharing, personal vehicle sharing (or peer-to-peer (P2P) carsharing), bikesharing, scooter sharing, shuttle services, ridesharing, and on-demand ride services. It can also include commercial delivery vehicles providing flexible goods movement. Shared mobility has had a transformative impact on many global cities by enhancing transportation accessibility while simultaneously reducing ownership of personal automobiles. In the context of carsharing and bikesharing, vehicles and bicycles are typically unattended, concentrated in a network of locations where the transaction of checking out a vehicle or bicycles is facilitated through information technology (IT) and other technological innovations. Usually, carsharing and bikesharing operators are responsible for the cost of maintenance, storage, parking, and insurance/fuel (if applicable). In the context of classic ridesharing (carpooling and vanpooling) and on-demand ride services, such as transportation network companies (TNCs), many of these providers employ IT to facilitate the matching of riders and drivers for trip making.

The announcement of the new shows and times for Velshi, Guri and Menendez came a week after MSNBC revealed Lindsey Reiser is joining the network in 2020. Reiser, who is coming from "Arizona's Family," which airs on local Phoenix stations 3TV and CBS 5, will act as a weekend anchor in the new year. Her show or time slot has not yet been announced.
The Evolution of Roger Ailes, From 'The Mike Douglas Show' to Fox News Innovator (Photos)
The television executive has evolved from producing a talk-variety show to running one of the biggest satellite news television channel in the U.S.
Born and raised in Ohio, Roger Ailes attended Ohio University as a young man, majoring in radio and television. During his time there, he served as station manager for the university's WOUB radio for two years.
Ailes worked his way up to executive producer on the syndicated daytime talk show "The Mike Douglas Show," which began as a local program in Cleveland before expanding nationwide.
Westinghouse Broadcasting Company
In 1968, Ailes got an Emmy nod when "The Mike Douglas Show" was nominated for Outstanding Achievement in Daytime Programming, ultimately losing to NBC's "Today" show.
After first meeting Richard Nixon on the set of "The Mike Douglas Show," Ailes was hired by the then-presidential candidate to be his media advisor during the campaign, which marked his first professional foray into politics.
Ailes continued consulting on presidential campaigns, serving as media consultant for three successful Republicans: Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.
Ailes produced the famous "revolving door" ad for Bush, which painted Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis as soft on crime. The piece was widely regarded as the most influential ad of the political cycle.
In 1988, Ailes co-authored a self-help book with Jon Kraushar. "You Are the Message" shared Ailes' tips for effective communication and public performances.
In 1992, Ailes served as executive producer on a syndicated late-night talk show hosted by right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh, which ran for four years before coming to an end in 1996.
Ailes Productions
Ailes was named president of CNBC in 1993, where he launched the new cable network America's Talking, which was shut down and replaced with future Fox News competitor MSNBC.
America's Talking
Media mogul Rupert Murdoch hired Ailes to serve as founding CEO and Chariman of the Fox News Channel in 1996, which soon grew to become the most popular cable news network in the country.
In 2016, Ailes was accused of sexual harassment by ousted Fox News host Gretchen Carlson. In July, Carlson filed a lawsuit against Ailes, claiming years of inappropriate behavior and sexual advances.
On July 20, 2016, Ailes was forced to resign from Fox News amid the growing outcry over the sexual harassment allegations.
Ailes died on May 18, 2017 at age 77.
Roger Ailes, who died Thursday at age 77, began as a producer on a daytime show and went on to become a willy successful cable news network boss

Our studio was engaged to convert 1200m² of office space in the historic Armoury Building in Buchanan Square, a landmark office complex in Woodstock for Inyathelo. This non-governmental organization promotes philanthropy and provides training in raising donor funding.
The extensive brief included offices for their own use, flexible open-plan spaces with research and hot-desk facilities, and a conferencing centre for presentations and training.
Our concept of an art gallery helped to articulate the complex brief into a flexible and transparent work and research environment, and provides a hub around which all of the functions are arranged.
'Flexibility and transparency were key concepts in the realisation of this inspiring work environment'.
In keeping with the spirit of openness and upliftment, we removed most of the original internal walls and opened up the space, so that the natural light and views – over District Six to the dramatic backdrop of Table Mountain – are now shared by all.
Responding to the client's need for meeting and training facilities, we designed a series of 20 seater conference rooms and a 100 seater auditorium with a dedicated catering kitchen and comprehensive audio-visual facilities.
Flexible acoustic walls allow these spaces to be opened up into each other to suit a multitude of combinations and functions, from meetings and training, to lectures and presentations, and the entire 270m² space can be opened up into one large auditorium to seat 400 people.
Original brick walls, timber trusses and cast iron columns were stripped down to their natural finish and incorporated into the design. Internal doors, windows, lighting and the original air-conditioning system were salvaged and integrated into the new design.
New walls, ceilings and frameless glass panels were carefully placed and finished to complement the existing shell, and a white epoxy floor holds the new and original elements together.


Spousal support, more commonly known as alimony, is payment by one spouse to the other. The amount paid and the length of time it is paid are determined by the court. Alimony in North Carolina is awarded in situations where there is a dependent spouse and supporting spouse, and where certain factors or circumstances exist that make an award of alimony appropriate. This is discussed in greater detail below.
Unlike child support in North Carolina, there is no formula or worksheet that determines the amount of alimony. In some cases, it is paid as a lump sum, one-time payment, while in others it is paid monthly for a set number of years. It is rarely awarded permanently (until death or remarriage) as many people believe.
Contributions by one spouse to the other spouse's education, training, etc.
In the video, attorney Parker Herring discusses spousal support, alimony and Post-Separation Support in North Carolina. Herring is a founding member of Parker Herring Law Group, PLLC. She is a Board Certified Family Law Specialist and has been practicing family law for nearly thirty years.
There are two types of spousal support that a judge in North Carolina may award: Post-Separation Support (PSS) and/or Alimony.
Post-Separation Support, or PSS, is a temporary form of spousal support the Court may order while the parties are separated and dividing assets, etc. If the Court finds you to be a dependent spouse, North Carolina law requires that the Court order the supporting spouse to pay PSS if your income is insufficient to cover your obligations. The Court will consider the standard of living the parties enjoyed during the marriage, both parties' incomes, debts, etc. If the dependent spouse committed adultery, he/she is not barred from PSS, but the judge may consider this "marital misconduct" in determining whether or not to grant PSS and how much.
Alimony is a more permanent form of spousal support but is not necessarily life-long. It may be ordered to be paid monthly, or it could be ordered to be paid in one or several lump sum payments.
What Will Bar You From Receiving Alimony?
If you file for absolute divorce but do not state a claim for alimony in your Complaint, you will be barred from receiving alimony.
If you sign a Separation and Property Settlement Agreement containing a waiver of alimony clause, all alimony claims are barred.
If it is proven that you, as the dependent spouse, committed adultery, you are barred from receiving alimony. (Note: Conversely, if you are the supporting spouse and it can be proven that you committed adultery, the dependent spouse need only request that alimony be ordered. If both parties commit adultery, the award of alimony is at the Court's discretion.
The amount of NC alimony to be paid is determined by the Court and is based on the incomes of both parties, contributions to the marriage, marital misconduct, etc.
the spouse paying alimony has no liability after the payee spouse dies.

On April 14, 2014, several same-sex couples residing in Indiana filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District for the Southern District of Indiana Court against the State of Indiana. The plaintiffs, represented by private counsel, brought suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. They sought a declaration that Indiana laws banning same-sex marriage were unconstitutional. They also sought a permanent injunction directing the defendants to recognize the plaintiffs' marriage, directing the Pension Fund to administer benefits to same-sex couples, and awarding the plaintiffs costs of suit and reasonable attorneys' fees.
They claimed that Indiana's ban on same-sex marriage violated their rights under the Equal Protection and Due Process Clause. Furthermore, members of each of these couples have served in an Indiana police or fire department, and they claim that lack of state recognition of their marriages has interfered with the flow of pensions and benefits within their families.
On June 25, 2014, Judge Richard L. Young entered a judgment on the plaintiffs' and the defendants' motions for summary judgment. They ordered that the defendants were permanently enjoined from denying a marriage license to same-sex applicants, the defendants were enjoined from enforcing the same-sex marriage ban, and the Indiana Public Retirement System was enjoined to administer the same services and benefits to all married couples regardless if they are same-sex or different-sex. The decision was stayed pending appeal, which was filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit on the same day. In September 2014, the Seventh Circuit invalidated and enjoyed Indiana's prohibitions of same-sex marriage. Baskin v. Bogin, 766 F.3d 648 (7th Cir. 2014), (PB-IN-0005 in this Clearinghouse). The Supreme Court denied review and the case was subsequently dismissed. The parties reached an agreement on attorneys' fees that was not disclosed to the Court. The case is now closed.

This interview initially appeared within the October 23, 2007 difficulty of cleaning soap opera compendium
"It is loopy," smiles Lawrence Saint-Victor as he shakes his head in disbelief at his upcoming nuptials, which, on the time of this interview, have been lower than 48 hours away. "I am exhausted and annoyed," he sighs. "It is nice, nevertheless it's so much! All the pieces is on the sting. Let's end this idiot and let's get together!"
For sure, you are feeling a bit overwhelmed. Making these early days of calling GUIDING LIGHT and shifting out of his dad and mom' dwelling in upstate New York whereas planning a marriage together with his faculty sweetheart Shay Flake hasn't even given Saint-Victor an opportunity to an evening out with the boys earlier than diving into marriage. "I am desirous about so many issues. I haven't got time for a bachelor get together," he laughs. "I've too many issues to do!"
If the 25-year-old has any reservations about married life, he actually does not present it. "I am settling down," he concludes with a smile, "however no youngsters!" Properly, at the least not but. In a couple of years, he want to have three and possibly even undertake. For now, he is simply excited, particularly about his new wedding ceremony bling. "I really like jewellery," he says, pulling out the PDA from him to indicate a snapshot of his diamond-encrusted ring. "It is all icy across the edge!" he provides he with a smile. "It is disgusting!"
In reality, life is fairly candy today for Saint-Victor. Her first tv job of hers as an additional on GUIDING LIGHT in 2000 become a full-time contract job because the third incarnation of Remy Bodreau on the present, some six years later. "I used to be a bar patron at Firm," she recollects. "I simply sat there. I checked out Michael O'Leary (Rick). that was my large second [laughs]!"
It was a second that launched her cleaning soap opera profession…and one she attributes to a better energy. The day he was employed as an additional, "I used to be in a critical automobile accident," he explains. "I used to be driving dwelling, and that is how I knew he was God, he was driving dwelling and he was going via a part the place he wasn't sporting a seatbelt. One thing simply stated, 'Lawrence, put your seatbelt on.' In 5 minutes [I hit] a phone survey. bam! A automobile reduce me off and I braked, nevertheless it was raining so I turned and tried to return to the opposite aspect of the street and get to the survey. I used to be shocked and known as my mother. She's like, 'OMG! You're nicely? [GL Casting Director] Rob Decina simply known as. I used to be like, 'Are you kidding? I shall be on TV [laughs]?' After which six years later…" she goes off. "That is bizarre. I did not consider that till just lately."
Saint-Victor has at all times been, on some stage, looking forward to an viewers. He confirmed off his Michael Jackson-inspired dance strikes for the household video digicam at age 5 and instructed his mom he wanted an agent when he was 12. "That was the tip of that dialog!" he smiles. For essentially the most half, he was a boisterous child with such vitality that "My dad and mom stated I might tiptoe simply because I could not sit nonetheless." So he took up sports activities: basketball, observe, tae kwon even gymnastics."Jack of all, grasp of none of them!" he jokes. However he did not apply that effort to schoolwork. "There was nothing I needed to do, so the naked minimal at school and, if I needed to do it, get good grades".
It was Saint-Victor's childhood ardour for studying. bat Man Y Superman comics that prompted him to behave. "It is the fantasy of it," he admits. "There's nothing cooler than studying one thing and believing you could fly or have the facility to save lots of individuals. I went from eager to be them to eager to play them," he explains. "That is once I began performing." He nonetheless fancies himself a comic book guide fan. "It is virtually creepy!" he laughs. "I did not develop out of it."
Saint-Victor was finally accepted into SUNY Buy School's Appearing Conservatory, however his dad and mom (each academics) weren't thrilled. "They have been cautious. My mother instructed me, 'You want one thing to fall again on.' But when I've something to fall again on, I am losing my time. When GUIDING LIGHT got here alongside, they stated: 'We at all times knew [laughs]!"
After a 12 months and a half of taking part in Remy, Saint-Victor's story has slowly come to the fore. Nonetheless, the absence of different Bordreaus on the canvas isn't misplaced on him. "It is annoying in loads of methods," he says. "Being the one African American with a contract [and] As a black actor, I typically really feel restricted. Remy goes via loads of issues and his mom is a psychiatrist. What might come of it? he ponders. "It isn't even a black or white difficulty, however cleaning soap operas are principally made up of households. How come we do not share these similar tales? On the similar time, "he continues,"[They] pay me for doing a very good job. I do the very best I can and that is it."
Certain, his life is loopy proper now, however Saint-Victor is trying ahead to tomorrow…and the day after that. "The transition from being [my parent's] son, your little boy, bringing a person occurs in a day, a second! All the pieces modifications." So, are you prepared? "If I can survive faculty and three guys turning a white bathtub inexperienced, I can survive Shay!" he smiles. "I can survive something after that!"
newlyweds sport
After tying up the lore on September 1, Saint-Victor gave us an replace on his large day. Happily, there was no mishap on the altar. "On the day of, I could not have requested for a extra excellent wedding ceremony. All the pieces fell into place and we did not have to fret a couple of factor," he says.

"It was like metropolis raincoats!" he laughs.

Heaven Shall Burn – "Wanderer" [Album Review]
By Graham Finney 09/23/2016
I'm not going to lie, I'm a huge fan of German melodic death metal chaps Heaven Shall Burn a band who, even two decades into their career, are still finding ways to keep their sound exciting after all this time. Wanderer, their latest offering and eighth album, continues that trend with a sound that shifts effortlessly from blasts of ferocious metal to soaring, epic melodies.
Criminally underrated outside of mainland Europe, there are times when you wonder if Heaven Shall Burn will ever really crack the big league where they truly belong, especially when you listen to Wanderer – and tracks like "Prey To God" and "They Shall Not Pass" – where there is nothing here that has you doubting that the band could hold their own against the big hitters (like Arch Enemy and In Flames) of the European metal scene.
Even when they open the throttle and really go for the jugular on "Agent Orange", it's done with the kind of circle pit-inspiring chug and groove that has bands like DevilDriver gracing the covers of metal press all over the world. From start to finish, Wanderer is a flawless display of Euro-metal from a band who are clearly masters of their art. The riffing will level anything in the way, Marcus Bischoff shows off an immaculate vocal range and the melodies woven into tracks like "My Heart Is My Compass" add an extra layer of class to the whole proceeding.
Add in a polished production and stacks of groove, then rubber stamp the album with your own seven minute cover of "The Cry of Mankind", a track originally by UK doom merchants My Dying Bride, and you have in your hands one of the slickest, classiest modern metal albums of the year.
Wanderer Track Listing:
01. The Loss Of Fury
02. Bring The War Home
03. Passage Of The Crane
04. They Shall Not Pass
05. Downshifter
06. Prey To God
07. Agent Orange
08. My Heart Is My Compass
09. Save Me
10. Corium
11. Extermination Order
12. A River Of Crimson
13. The Cry Of Mankind
Check out the track "Passage of The Crane"

I have an unhealthy obsession with bad horror movies, the song Wanted Dead Or Alive and crap British game shows. I do this not because of the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll lifestyle it affords me but more because it gives me an excuse to listen to bands that sound like hippos mating.

Bruce Greenwald – "We Didn't Get Growth Right!"
The Acquirer's Multiple2020-10-15T11:17:46-05:00
During his recent interview with Tobias, David Horn, Adjunct Professor of Applied Value Investing at Columbia Business School, discussed Greenwald – "We Didn't Get Growth Right!". Here's an excerpt from the interview:
Q3 2020 hedge fund letters, conferences and more
Image source: YouTube Video Screenshot
Tobias: If it's the Greenwald class, you're teaching to the Greenwald from Buffett and Graham– [crosstalk]
David: Yeah, we touch on it. But even Greenwald has said, "We didn't really get growth right, and we're working on that."
Tobias: I liked that. Greenwald's got that methodology where he says, you look at the steady state and you look at the flows from that, which might be the dividends and any buyback yield, and then you've got the growth portion, which is basically what you're reinvesting by your return on invested capital over, whatever your discount rate is. And so, you get some idea, you're explicitly breaking it into two parts. One is the steady state where you're getting dividend or the buyback. And then, you're thinking separately about how it's growing. And that looks at what you're reinvesting, the likely return internally to the company. And then, how much cash– from where that's being priced in the market. That's Greenwald's franchise value as far as I can recall. And the nice thing is it breaks into two. And so, you have that thought. It also doesn't rely on any movement in the multiple for you to figure out where your return is going to come from.
David: Yeah, he talks also about use– break down the balance sheet, you break down earnings power value, and then you look to see if they're over-earning or under-earning, and I think that's valuable if you want to be an activist. Look, I think so much of what's happened is that breaking down the balance sheet, look, it's very important to understand the balance sheet, but buying it something at a discount to liquidation value is not available too much these days. We like to touch on it, but we segue a little bit from it because we want them to think– once you do the balance sheet work, I don't think too much of the further work is going to be, oh– again, I'm buying it at a discount to its balance sheet, although understanding how the earnings are working in relation to return on assets, and whether or not this is a good business, those sorts of things do matter.
So, going back to, you said, what are you teaching? It's not a heavy security analysis class, because what I'm trying to do is expose them to things that they are going to — it's like the question they ask, "What's the right sizing?" "What's your behavior?" "What's the behavior of that of your LPs?" Anyone will tell you that that your best chance of outperformance is concentration. It's probably your best chance of blowing up. Look, if you own 500 stocks [crosstalk] and you're not going to look different than the index. Okay, well, where do I want to fit in? What's my–? And there's great funds that are able to own a handful of stocks. But there isn't a right answer. And look, if you own a couple stocks, don't blow it. The hurdle– This also goes back to– you sort of thinking about batting average and slugging percentage, and even Soros I think, would say that he was actually wrong more than he was right. But he's sizing and the magnitude of– The old adage is like, "Well, 90% of options expire out of the money." But if the other 10% are up 11-fold, then I guess you should buy options?
Tobias: Yeah.
David: Right. Whether it goes back to sizing or whether it goes back to the framework, we don't send them out and say, "Go look for net-nets. And if you can find things that trade at discount to the balance sheet, buy them," because I think that's true, but I think that they're going to be looking for other things to do pretty quickly. Hold on, let me just see.
Tobias: I've heard that before that Greenwald felt that he didn't get growth right in the Graham to Buffett and Beyond book and I thought that the more recent– there are a few papers floating around where he talks about this other method that they use is that I think is quite effective because it doesn't require any– you don't need to assume– it's different from a DCF, where you have the gigantic terminal value that basically opaque, so you have no view into– is this thing going to grow faster than GDP for perpetuity? I have no idea at all. I think that's an impossible decision to make, but the growth portion where you can say, look, this thing, currently it is earning more than the average company in the S&P 500. You can see how much it's reinvesting. So, you've got some idea that there are flows going back into this thing. It seems to have a reinvestment runway. We get an idea about the cash flows that in totality with the going in, so we can come up with a rough estimate.
And then, the number that it spits out is basically an expected return. And so, you're not really coming up with a hard, intrinsic value. Rather, you're coming at it more like a Mauboussin approach where– look this thing, the expected return is very, very high here. So, maybe we should be allocating a little bit more capital to this thing.
David: Yeah, and I think that in the framework– it's funny watching, and Bruce– I think he retired, but he's still doing some work, and I think he's working on another volume. I think what's happening– So, if you go and read that book, they don't dig too much into growth. Historically, value mean— that wasn't part of the work because it's the whole– the upside is free. And I think he did it– well, Buffett did it stealthily. He started buying quality, but it didn't really become– I don't know, when that mantra started to take over.
But I think what you find is that– Look, value used to be contrarian. How many people go to Omaha every year? And so, when you talk about high screen low price to book, should it work or doesn't work? Well, should it work? How many people are screaming low price to book? Or does it not work simply because something doesn't work for five years, and then that just works, right? It's literally everyone, you even get the value guys that decide that this doesn't work because I don't have long enough capital. And so, we all move to where the ball is as opposed to where it's going. And starting to ask this question more about quality of business and growth– It's something that, I think, they're starting to probe a little bit more. And again, when I talked to Greenwald about it, he said we're working on a better framework for growth.
Tobias: I just wondered if that was the one that he'd been talking about because I had seen that. I think it's intuitive, it's good for– The thing that I like about it is it doesn't require look at a decade and try and figure out where it is in a decade. You look at where it is today. All of the inputs are historical. And then, you just seeing what kind of magnitude of expected return are we talking about here.
David: That sounds right.

The Acquirer's Multiple® is the valuation ratio used to find attractive takeover candidates. It examines several financial statement items that other multiples like the price-to-earnings ratio do not, including debt, preferred stock, and minority interests; and interest, tax, depreciation, amortization. The Acquirer's Multiple® is calculated as follows: Enterprise Value / Operating Earnings* It is based on the investment strategy described in the book Deep Value: Why Activist Investors and Other Contrarians Battle for Control of Losing Corporations, written by Tobias Carlisle, founder of acquirersmultiple.com. The Acquirer's Multiple® differs from The Magic Formula® Earnings Yield because The Acquirer's Multiple® uses operating earnings in place of EBIT. Operating earnings is constructed from the top of the income statement down, where EBIT is constructed from the bottom up. Calculating operating earnings from the top down standardizes the metric, making a comparison across companies, industries and sectors possible, and, by excluding special items–earnings that a company does not expect to recur in future years–ensures that these earnings are related only to operations. Similarly, The Acquirer's Multiple® differs from the ordinary enterprise multiple because it uses operating earnings in place of EBITDA, which is also constructed from the bottom up. Tobias Carlisle is also the Chief Investment Officer of Carbon Beach Asset Management LLC. He's best known as the author of the well regarded Deep Value website Greenbackd, the book Deep Value: Why Activists Investors and Other Contrarians Battle for Control of Losing Corporations (2014, Wiley Finance), and Quantitative Value: A Practitioner's Guide to Automating Intelligent Investment and Eliminating Behavioral Errors (2012, Wiley Finance).
