Tory MP's group wants net migration target dropped
Prime Minister David Cameron is being urged to drop his pledge to cut net migration to "the tens of thousands".
The call comes from a new Tory campaign group, Managed Migration, which claims the support of up to 20 Tory MPs.
The group's organiser, Conservative MP Mark Field, warned Mr Cameron against getting into "a Dutch auction" over immigration numbers and said he could not "out-UKIP UKIP".
But Mr Cameron said the target was still "important".
"It is right to target a reduction in immigration," he said on a visit to Hull.
"If you look at immigration from outside the European Union, it is down by a third and it is at its lowest level since 1998 and we have to keep working towards that important target."
However, Mr Field, the MP for the Cities of London and Westminster, said the target was "impractical", harmed Britain's global competitiveness and was clearly not going to be met.
'Wrong signals'
"Very few voters out there believe we can deliver on it and, indeed, all the evidence suggests it is now moving in the wrong direction," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
"And, of course, very few businesses - and I feel that very close to my heart, representing the sort of seat I do - believe it is practical.
"And it risks, in my view, sending out the wrong signals about our openness - and Britain's traditional openness - as a trading nation, to the world at large."
He said recent big increases in net migration were a sign that the UK's economy was recovering strongly.
"We have been victims of our own success. One of the reasons we are not able to achieve the net migration figure is that we are so outperforming our European neighbours that many people are coming from Spain and Portugal and France to these shores, and fewer people want to leave, so therefore net migration is going up and up."
He said he was not not calling for David Cameron to drop the net migration target immediately - but said it should not be in the Conservative Party's next election manifesto.
"We need a more calm debate about this going forward.
"And I think the difficulty is we are not going to be able to out-UKIP UKIP. I have a lot of respect for Nigel Farage but he has very different views on this to me."
'Still time'
Net migration is the difference between the numbers of people moving to live in the UK and the numbers of people leaving.
The latest figures show net annual migration rose 58,000 to 212,000 in the year to September 2013.
Although levels steadily declined in 2012 after tighter restrictions on non-EU migrants took effect, the trend has since reversed - largely due to the increase in the number of migrants from other EU countries.
At the Westminster launch of his Conservatives for a Managed Migration group, he denied being a lone voice, despite no other Conservative MPs attending the event.
He said he hoped to get more MPs on board but said "many times" his colleagues had told him they agreed with his view but said "we are worried about UKIP and therefore we would rather not be publicly associated".
Labour immigration spokesman David Hanson said: "Labour has long called for a calm and rational discussion about immigration, so we welcome Mark Field's opposition to the shrill and ineffective approach adopted by their own Government."
Conservative chairman Grant Shapps said earlier this month that there was "still time" for the target to be met.
But Lib Dem business secretary Vince Cable has repeatedly called for it to be dropped - and angered immigration minister James Brokenshire by saying recent increases in net migration were "good news".

Politics & Government
McConnell takes criticism from both sides back home after compromise role
Statesman, traitor, tap-dancer — Kentucky U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell was tagged with a number of labels Wednesday as his high-profile role in negotiations with Democrats presented a large target for opponents, even as the resulting deal appeared to end the government shutdown and avoid debt default.
After reaching what looked like an agreement to end the Washington stalemate with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, McConnell was pelted from both sides of the political spectrum as challengers and critics sought to deny the senator a chance to portray himself as a savior and a leader in the midst of crippling dysfunction.
When McConnell inserted himself into the role of negotiator on Friday, Republican Matt Bevin and Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes endlessly assailed the senator's move, reaching a fever pitch on Wednesday and revealing the political dangers that come with McConnell's leadership position.
Bevin, who is opposing McConnell in the 2014 U.S. Senate race, told the Herald-Leader that Reid had played McConnell "like a cheap fiddle."
"Frankly, it's embarrassing," Bevin said.
McConnell's team hoped Wednesday that Kentucky's senior senator would be viewed ultimately as prioritizing the country over politics, betting on a long-term goal of winning support for compromising over the short-term blowback from McConnell's critics on his left and right.
While McConnell, in remarks on the Senate floor, promised that repealing Obamacare would continue to be a priority for Republicans, the senator worked to win Republican favor by emphasizing he had kept in place budget cuts mandated through the 2011 Budget Control Act (BCA), known more commonly as sequestration.
Reid this week, sensing an upper hand, made a play to reverse the cuts in negotiations, and McConnell was eager to claim even a small victory by keeping them in place while promising to do more to cut spending and repeal President Barack Obama's health care law.
"Hopefully, once we've gotten past the drama of the moment, we can get to work on it," McConnell said. "But for now, let's not understate the importance of the BCA, or the importance of the fight to preserve it."
To that end, McConnell enjoyed words of support from Tea Party hero and fellow Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, support that McConnell desperately needed as Bevin and some Tea Party groups blasted what they saw as complete capitulation to Senate Democrats and President Barack Obama.
Even though Paul voted against an amendment containing the compromise plan Wednesday night, he said in a statement that ending the shutdown and avoiding a default "is a good thing."
On Wednesday afternoon, the senator defended McConnell in an interview with Terry Meiners on WHAS radio in Louisville.
"I would say Kentucky's very lucky to have Sen. McConnell," Paul said. "You need somebody who's willing to stand up for Kentucky."
Republican allies of McConnell's noted evidence of support for the Senate minority leader's role, pointing to everything from favorable Washington media coverage to a tweet from Matt Jones, a Democrat and creator of the popular Kentucky Sports Radio.
"Never been a huge Mitch McConnell fan but proud of him today for rising up and helping end this nonsense in Washington," Jones tweeted.
While McConnell aides and allies hoped such views would be shared by all Kentuckians, they were hard to hear among the roar of criticism from Grimes, Bevin and Gov. Steve Beshear.
The campaign of Grimes, Kentucky's secretary of state who seeks the Democratic nomination for Senate, continued its assault on McConnell for what the campaign said was his role in shutting down the government. On Wednesday, a campaign news release said McConnell "hid in the shadows for two weeks."
"Now that he has felt the pressure from both sides of the aisle and finally listened to his constituents, McConnell is attempting to pat himself on the back for finally deciding to do his job," Grimes spokeswoman Charly Norton said in a statement.
Norton argued that "any last-minute deal should not obscure the fact that Sen. McConnell created the shutdown with members of his own party, hurt Kentucky's families, seniors and small businesses and cost the U.S. economy at least $4.8 billion."
Beshear, who has squared off against McConnell and Paul in recent weeks over Kentucky's roll-out of Obama's health care law, called a press conference to lay out the damage Kentucky was enduring because of the shutdown.
After taking indirect swipes at Kentucky's two Republican senators, Beshear offered a sharply back-handed compliment to McConnell for his role in the negotiations.
"Hopefully, we will have a deal today, and if we do, I suppose that we should be thankful that after about three months of being missing in action, that the senator has surfaced here in the last couple days and is participating and is helping to work some deal," Beshear said.
Whether McConnell would sustain lasting damage for his part in the deal was unclear Wednesday, but he should expect little more than criticism in the short term for being associated with a deal that left few pleased, said Stephen Voss, a political science professor at the University of Kentucky.
"Compromise is never rewarded politically," Voss said. "It's going to hurt more before it stops hurting."
Voss said he thinks Bevin might struggle to gain momentum from the result given McConnell's long conservative record, but he said the shutdown itself helps Grimes undercut the five-term senator's campaign argument that his leadership position benefits Kentucky.
"It certainly leaves the impression that Speaker Boehner and Minority Leader McConnell don't have their party under control — the problem being that political leaders never have their parties under control," Voss said.
But if McConnell can successfully sell himself as a willing compromiser to "middle-of-the-road Kentuckians," Voss said, then Grimes will struggle to define the senator as a thoughtless partisan.
Overall, Voss said McConnell stood to win little and lose much from standing front and center as his party's chief negotiator.
"He's worse off, and he'll have people sniping at him from both sides," Voss said. "The real question is whether he can turn that into appeal with the swing voter in a general election. It's tough."

Edit: Welcome wow.com visitors! Please poke around some while you're here, and feel free to ask any druid questions you have on the forum.
It's been a few days since my last post, due to a few factors (Yay for my $100 cable modem not lasting a month…thank god for tethering). CD successfully took down 25M BQL pre-nerf (pre-buff?), and should be rolling through the rest of ICC soon. I've finished my 4pT10 and have reclaimed my place near the top of the DPS charts…or so I think. :)
I'm motivated to write today though because of the new feral changes recently announced.
- Mangle (Bear) now increases the damage of bleed effects for 1 min. (Up from 12 sec)
- Mangle (Cat) now increases the damage of bleed effects for 1 min. (Up from 12 sec)
- Glyph of Mangle: This glyph now provides 10% increased damage done by Mangle instead of increasing the duration of the debuff.
This is a decent buff for most of us. Most DPS warriors are specced Fury these days, so typically we've been required to keep Mangle up as part of our rotation unless there's a bear druid tanking (also rare). We'll still have to Mangle, but much less frequently, which frees up more energy for Shreds. This has three benefits: first, Shred has about a 20% higher DPE than Mangle, so that's more base damage. Second, it'll be much easier to ensure we get the three Shreds in needed to fully utilize the Glyph of Shred. Third, it'll make the rotation easier. Yawning (the new Toskk) has already updated the calculator at Toskk's site, so feel free to run your stats there, but my estimate is a 2% projected DPS increase, with an actual DPS increase of ~4-5% from being better able to follow priorities. (The simulator assumes you always get your 3 shreds in, for example, but this isn't always the case currently, if you have to refresh Mangle twice, Rake twice, Savage Roar and TF/Berserk is on CD.) Of course, if you already have someone running Mangle, then no increase for you. :) The glyph is certainly improved, but it won't replace your usual three. It will be good for PvP or leveling, which is nice.
Well, the Mangle change doesn't affect you (since you were Mangling on CD anyway), but the Glyph is now a viable third option for a bit more threat. If you're running a full bear spec (without Shredding Attacks) and are forced to do some cat DPS, you'll be mangling instead of shredding, so this will help with that as well.

Apatheist and ignorestic are terms that describe a person who is generally uninterested in their own religious beliefs, the religious beliefs of others, or both. As the term apatheist is a conjunction of apathetic and theist (or atheist), the term can apply to believers and non-believers. Those who believe in a god but do not actively practice their adopted religion could be considered apatheists. Among non-believers, those who have little or no interest in religious issues could be considered apatheists.
The philosophical basis for apatheism was summarized, and the term may have been coined, by Jonathan Rauch in an article published in The Atlantic:
"To be in the grip of religious zeal is the natural state of human beings, or at least of a great many human beings; that is how much of the species seems to be wired. Apatheism, therefore, should not be assumed to represent a lazy recumbency, like my collapse into a soft chair after a long day. Just the opposite, it is the product of a determined effort to discipline the religious mind set, and often of an equally determined personal effort to master the spiritual passions. It is not a lapse. It is an achievement."
- — Jonathan Rauch, The Atlantic
Arguments for[edit]
Those in favor of apatheism argue that religious zealotry is responsible for much evil while an apathetic stance toward religion is the antithesis of zealotry and encourages a more peaceful existence. They believe that apatheism eliminates proselytizing and promotes true religious tolerance and that maintaining an "I simply don't care" attitude toward religion is an effective rebuttal against religious claims.
Arguments against[edit]
Those opposed to apatheism argue that it is based on flawed and naïve premises. Apatheism would certainly prohibit zealotry and proselytizing - but only among apatheists; and there doesn't seem to be any good reason to presume that apatheism could gain sufficient support to effectively eliminate problems between religions or between the religious and irreligious. This is especially true as those who are apatheistic should be unmotivated to spread their own views on apatheism.
Apatheism, appears to simply concede the fight to the zealots in the hopes that, eventually, people will see reason. For those who feel that religion encourages a dangerous mindset (by promoting uncritical acceptance of claims and a dogmatic resistance to change that defies reason and evidence), it is unclear how apatheism can be an effective response. Some would go so far as to say that an apathetic stance regarding religion or an unwillingness to challenge religion is directly responsible for the current power that many religions wield.
Those opposed to apatheism would argue that pointing out that the emperor has no clothes is far more likely to invoke change than turning away in disinterest.

'Entourage: The Movie' is Happening
After a eight season run on HBO, 'Entourage' is coming back... but this time on the big screen. We knew there was a finished script, but today Warner Brothers has given the project the green light.
This comes from Deadline, who mention that deals are being put in place for the ensemble (including Adrian Grenier and Jeremy Piven) right now, and that series creator and screenwriter Doug Ellin will be the film's director. Likely everyone will come back as none of the primary leads have netted any great gigs in the interim. In fact, the busiest of the bunch have been Jerry ("Turtle") Ferrara who was in 2012's 'Think Like a Man' and 'Battleship,' and Rex ("Lloyd") Lee, who has a role on 'Suburgatory.'
Though it might be hard to see what the appeal of the show would be on the big screen as it was on HBO and featured tons of gratuitous nudity and swearing, the model is obviously the success Warner Brothers had with 'Sex and the City.' That show was brought to the big screen in 2008 and made an impressive $150 million domestically and over $400 million worldwide. And if this is a success, it follows that they may try for a second film (though 'Sex and the City 2' only made $95 Million domestically and less than $300 million worldwide). Regardless, Vinnie Chase is back, that much is sure.

I don't know about the thesis in the article. The sacred place of Shaivism is Mount Kailash, and Mount Kailash is in Tibet, not India. So it would seem logical to say that Shenrab Miwoche, not Shaivism, was the originator of that form of Dzogchen Atiyoga.Yudron wrote:Some -- such as Van Shaik-- feel that atiyoga may have emerged in India as stage of deity yoga practice.
This is not just a Nyingma Dzogchen Atiyoga question. No tantras (either Nyingma or Sarma) were taught by nirmanakaya Shakyamuni and their validity is established by other criteria. Since nirmanakaya Garab Dorje received the teaching beyond cause and effect from the dharmakaya Samantabhadra through sambhogakaya Vajrasattva, Dzogchen Atiyoga as taught in Oddiyana by Garab Dorje is considered a direct teaching of the Buddha.Yudron wrote:Since Nyingma is a term that was invented at the time of the second transmission of the Dharma from India, as a way of distinguishing what Dharma was already there, versus what was being transmitted newly (sarma), you can't separate Dzogchen from Nyingma. That is, unless you are trying to say it was a Bon thing only until then, meaning that the huge Buddhist libraries of Tibetan and Sanskrit texts that Atisha saw when he came to Tibet did not contain atiyoga. Do you really want to go there?

Code: # base-files version 4.0-6 # ~/.bash_profile: executed by bash(1) for login shells. # if [ -f "${HOME}/.bashrc" ] ; then source "${HOME}/.bashrc" fi export RSFROOT=/usr/local/rsf if [ -n "$PYTHONPATH" ]; then export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:$RSFROOT/lib else export PYTHONPATH=$RSFROOT/lib fi export PATH=$PATH:$RSFROOT/bin export DATAPATH=/var/tmp/ Thanks. -lr

Hi Guy,I read through your final version and it looks like a winner! I also tested your editing workflow on some of my own Kodachromes, and I must say that it is very well thought out and effective. It makes a lot of sense to me. Interestingly, in your Curves 2 color adjustments, page 62, bowing the curves up and down from the mid-point, has the main effect of aligning the Kodachrome characteristic curves. It is effectively the gamma adjustment for each curve needed to neutralize the grayscale, although it's not obvious.To use my existing Linear scans with your workflow, it was necessary to first convert to a gamma > 1 space. You might want to add a note for those who have linear scans, that it's a necessity to convert to a gamma workspace, since curves and some of the other Photoshop tools are awkward to use on linear data. Of the standard editing spaces. only ProphotoRGB can contain all of the Kodachrome gamut. I can just imagine that your document will be read and applied by other people like me with linear scans, since in some circles (UseNet, filmscanners mailing list, etc.) the conventional wisdom has been that it's best to scan and profile linear. Under your constraints of avoiding color space conversion, scanning into a gamma space is a necessity as your research has shown. Not everyone is operating under the same constraints so I'm just suggesting a way to head-off potential criticism from experienced scan operators who come across your document. Best regards,Cliff
....the technique in general did not give results as good as from dedicated scanners.
The 8200i recently released in the US market (but has been available elsewhere for some time now) I understand has under-the-hood technical improvements over the 7600i...
Hi Mark from Plustek here. A couple things....The OpticFIlm 8xxx series scanners are the same hardware as the OpticFilm 74/7600 scanners. The only difference is SilverFast 8 comes in the box with the 8xxx scanners and you have to download it (free) for the 74/7600 scanners.http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1002&message=41824865

Will we be changing our Tourism slogan now?
Now The Hobbit has bombed at the Academy Awards, will our tourism slogan be 0% Middle Earth?
Destroying our brand from 100% Pure to 100% whatever Peter Jackson wants was always based on his movie franchise being popular. If the movies bombed, we bomb by association.
John Key as tourism Minister changed the tourism slogan as another one of those crony deals he likes to make. Instead of living up to our clean, green credentials he dumped the aspiration and made us 100% Middle Earth.
I suppose a semi-racist fantasy world cooked up by a stoned virgin British Professor is actually a very fitting paradigm to set NZ in.

Wabash Captures 2012 NCAC Outdoor T&F Titleby Brent Harris • May 5, 2012 Share:
Wabash captured its second consecutive North Coast Athletic Conference Men's Outdoor Track and Field title Saturday afternoon. The Little Giants set another conference meet record, scoring a total of 314.5 points to break the mark of 311.5 points from last season.
Freshman Derek De St Jean was named the Men's Field Athlete of the Meet. The first-year performer won conference titles in the shot put and discus and finished third in the hammer throw.
The Little Giants tallied eight individual or relay conference titles, produced 32 all-conference honors, and place 55 athletes in the top-eight spots during the two days of competition.
Kevin McCarthy started the Saturday portion of the meet by setting a new conference mark in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. His winning time of 8:58.21 crushed the old meet mark of 9:12.36 and is currently ranked third among NCAA Division III times this season. His time was also only 17/100th of a second away from tying the 40-year-old Wabash record in the steeplchase set by Ray White '73. Jacob Caddick added a seventh-place finish in the event with a time of 9:43.14, while Zach Mahone took eighth place with a time of 9:43.85.
Evan Groninger set new Wabash and NCAC records with his throw of 62.90 meters (206 feet, 4 inches) to win the javelin competition. He broke the mark of 62.08 meters set by Daniel Ambrosio earlier this season. Groninger's throw bettered the conference record of 206 feet set in 2002 by Wittenberg's Tim Gaal. Ambrosio finished third in this year's javelin throw with a mark of 52.52 meters (172 feet, 4 inches). Sam Glowinski added a seventh-place finish with a throw of 41.45 meters (136 feet).
Jake Waterman won the 800-meter run with a time of 1:52.71. He has already posted the fastest 800-meter time in the country with a mark of 1:48.64 set two weeks ago at Indiana University. Cole Hruskovich earned all-conference honors with a second-place finish in the 800 (1:54.46), while McCarthy took fifth place (1:55.49) and James Kervan was eighth (1:58.71). McCarthy added a second-place finish in the 1500-meter run with a time of 3:56.15). Donavan White picked up all-conference honors with a third-place finish in the 1500 (3:57.09), with Shane Hoerbert crossing the line in fourth place (3:57.36). Waterman finished seventh in the event (4:01.05).
Ronnie Posthauer was crowned the 110-meter hurdles champion, edging teammate Nathan Mueller at the finish line. Posthauer won the finals race with a time of 15.11, while Mueller crossed in 15.19. Billy Rosson took fourth place with a time of 15.25.
Freshman Grayden Gilmore took first place in the high jump, clearing 1.94 meters (6 feet, 4.25 inches). Ambrosio tied for third place with a height of 1.88 meters (6 feet, 2 inches). John Boguckitook sixth place (1.85 meters; 6 feet, 0.75 inches), while Patrick Posthauer finished seventh (1.80 meters; 5 feet, 10.75 inches).
The foursome of Arion Clanton, Alfred Sambo, Sean Hildebrand, and Vann Hunt combined to win the 400-meter relay with a time of 42.23. Garett Bonk, Hruskovich, Joseph Conti, and Joel Whittington took second place in the 1600-meter relay with a time of 3:20.10.
Whittington finished second in the 400-meter hurdles (54.79), while Rosson scored a fourth-place finish (56.34). Hunt, the winner of the men's long jump on Friday, finished second in the triple jump with a mark of 13.51 meters (44 feet, 4 inches). Femi Oluyedun took third place to earn All-NCAC honors with a leap of 13.35 meters (43 feet, 9.75 inches).
De St Jean's mark of 46.07 meters (151 feet, 2 inches) gave him third place in the hammer. Joel Beier finished fourth (45.59 meters; 149 feet, 7 inches), while Brad Pusateri finished eighth (39.83 meters; 130 feet, 8 inches). John Haley picked up a third-place finish in the 400-meter dash finals by crossing the finish line in 49.28. Bonk was sixth overall (50.17). Conti grabbed seventh place (50.63), while Chet Riddle finished eighth (51.37). Brian David was third in the 5,000-meter run with a time of 15:20.29. Billy McManus took sixth place (15.29.93), while Jared Burris finished seventh (15:34.26).
Hildebrand took fourth place in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.03. Sambo finished fifth (11.03), crossing 4/1000th of a second behind Hildebrand. Hunt added a seventh-place finish (11.34). Haley finished sixth in the 200-meter dash (22.31). Hildebrand took seventh place (22.52), and Riddle was eighth (23.07).
Wabash had already captured the NCAC cross country and indoor track and field titles this year, making the Little Giants the 10th team in 28 years to win all three championships in the same season.
In addition to the team and individual honors, Wabash head coach Clyde Morgan and his assistants earned Men's Coach of the Year honors.
The Little Giants' almost doubled the total score by second-place squad Ohio Wesleyan (157.50). Oberlin took third place (71), with Allegheny finishing fourth (64). Wittenberg (62), Denison (60), DePauw (49), Kenyon (23), and Wooster (16) completed the team scoring.

Janet Yellen made a fuss by slipping a line into her semi-annual Congressional testimony on the economy that social-networking stocks were in a bit of a bubble.
Beginning with Facebook's FB, -1.95% second-quarter earnings Wednesday, we'll see if she was way more wrong than right.
Yellen's wrong about this bubble three different ways. First, social-media stocks as a group aren't very expensive, and the best of breed, like Facebook and YouTube owner Google GOOG, -2.61% — are actually pretty cheap. Second, the flaws of less-premium social-media stocks, like Groupon and Zynga ZNGA, -2.00% — are well-appreciated and realistically appraised, which is one reason why you've routinely seen initial public offerings by social-media firms struggle and even flop, in a way barely seen among 1998-1999 Web companies.
And, third, a note that means more to macro investors than those who would chase fast bucks in tech stocks: There's not enough money tied up in social media to hurt the economy even if a bubble were deflated.
First, let's talk numbers and valuations.
The top exchange traded fund in social media is the Social Media Index ETF SOCL, -2.34% from New York-based Global X Funds. Its top 10 holdings, from Facebook down to Groupon GRPN, -0.87% do trade at a hefty average price-to-earnings ratio of 73. But that weighs equally the prospects of social-media blue-chippers like Facebook, at 48 times earnings, or Google GOOG, -2.61% at 23, with cases like Pandora, a 150 P/E, or Yelp YELP, -1.42% at 220. Since Google's $400 billion market value is 80 times Yelp's, weighting their valuations equally is off-base.
Most social-media numbers look fine considering how fast companies are growing. Moscow-based Yandex, Google, Facebook and China-based Tencent Holdings all trade at a growth-adjusted P/E of less than 1.5. Dividing their multiple by the pace of expected profit growth over five years, these names are actually cheaper than health-insurance businesses like WellPoint US:WLP or Old Tech's Cisco Systems CSCO, -1.92% and comparable to IBM IBM, -0.71%
Next, while the Web's first rule may be that on the Internet no one knows you're a dog, that's not the case for social media.
When a social-media company is a mutt, skeptics pounce fast and effectively. Groupon's accounting problems were diagnosed within a half-hour of its initial IPO filing in 2011. Much the same happened to King Digital Entertainment US:KING this year — it's highly profitable, but commands only a 10 P/E because no one will assume the publisher of Candy Crush Saga has more hit games up its sleeve. Even Facebook lost half its value before roaring back to life — a bit of skepticism that sellers who missed its tripling since must regret.
There are exceptions to the rule that the market judges social-media businesses rationally.
Yelp's P/E of 72 times estimated 2015 earnings (analysts say it will lose money this year) is mostly amusing. Nice business, sure, but aggregating restaurant reviews isn't worth twice the multiple that bigger, already profitable TripAdvisor TRIP, -4.09% commands for hotel reviews.
Likewise, if Pandora US:P were getting profitable enough soon to merit its price, its estimated growth rate would be much higher. But Pandora has too much competition, and too little differentiation, to build profitability that fast. But even here, top Web analyst Mark Mahaney of RBC Capital Markets says the stock commands 50 times next year's profit before taxes and non-cash depreciation and amortization charges. Still too high for many, but not insane.
Appraising social stocks gets hard when you consider a handful of legitimately important companies that are still probably way overpriced. Twitter TWTR, -2.42% tops this list, and, more controversially, you can put LinkedIn on it too. Editorially, Twitter is one-of-a-kind; financially, it's an advertising-targeting business among many. Choosing between Facebook at 48 times earnings or Twitter at 922 is easy. Lots of writers put Twitter's pre-IPO value at about $12 billion, before the market took it to $22 billion today. That's still broadly right. These companies could grow into their valuations — or not.
But you can't really have a bubble made up of four or five companies, commanding between them a market cap of $40 billion to $50 billion. There are no Pets.coms in this crowd, no mortgage securities made up of loans to insolvent borrowers whose teaser rates will soon reset. They're all worth something. The worst you can say about LinkedIn US:LNKD or Twitter is that enthusiasts think they will grow faster than skeptics do.
The economy faces basically no risk from such a microbubble. If Yelp, Pandora, Zynga and Groupon all closed tomorrow, it would cost the economy $17 billion in lost value — about what Google shares have gained since July 8. The housing bubble cost $7 trillion. Housing, and telecom in 2000, were bubbles. This is nada.
The economy and the market may have 99 problems, but a social-media bubble ain't one.
