Jake Foley is a computer technician for the NSA who secretly longs for a chance to work on the field. Circumstance puts him in a top secret laboratory, in the middle of a shootout between security guards and a saboteur. During the battle, a vial containing an experimental serum explodes, covering Jake with shrapnel. But it turns out that the serum is actually nanomites, microscopic submachines that heal his injuries and alter his body. Upon discovering his new mind-boggling powers, Jake begins to operate at an atomic level, possessing superhuman strength, lightning-fast speed, heightened hearing, magnified vision and the ability to communicate telepathically with computers. The NSA soon realizes Jake is an untested asset and forms a Special Ops team with him at its core. As Jake finally realizes his dream of being of being a field operative, he must also contend with the return of would-be girlfriend Sarah Heywood, who is involved in a Congressional investigation which threatens to expose his operation.

gender evaluation
GenARDIS Knowledge Sharing workshop
The knowledge-sharing workshop will be a space to enable the 15 grantees to share outcomes as well as to discuss best practices and lessons learned. It will also be used to gather case studies and stories to feed into the ongoing programmes of partner institutions, as well as for GenARDIS' own evaluation process.
APC-Africa-Women HIVOS Evaluation
Conversations around ICT, gender and building women's networks in Africa. An evaluation comissioned by HIVOS to review and evaluate and make recommendations to AAW on activities funded by HIVOS since 2005.
The general purpose of this consultancy is to evaluate to what extent objectives – as formulated in the contract – have been achieved and whether the implementation strategy used was effective. Additionally the evaluation is expected to provide an analysis of chosen intervention strategies and to identify recommendations for strengthening the AAW.
1. Building women's capacity for strategic use of ICT use (part of Hivos contract)
1.1. WNSP/AAW members have increased technical skills, are networking with more women technicians and are shaping ICT tools for women
1.2. Women and their organisations are aware of and trained to in the use of affordable, appropriate and innovative tools and applications in order to strengthen their network and raise the profile of content produced by women
1.3. Through AAW's links to APC programmes, APC members and other networks, women have increased access to opportunities for training and capacity building
2. Gender Evaluation Methodology (GEM) (part of Hivos contract)
The effective application of the Gender Evaluation Methodology for ICT Initiatives (GEM) by ICT practitioners, donor agencies and international organisations.
3. Gender and ICT Policy advocacy (part of Hivos contract)
3.1. Participation of AAW in policy events and activities towards creating a visible, national and regional policy advocacy movement with a strong gender and ICT agenda.
3.2. Contribution of African and Francophone content to Genderit.org
3.3. participation in "TakebacktheTech" Campaign
4. Network building
4.1. An engaged AAW network, more integrated into other APC programmes and with an expanded and strengthened membership base, sharing opportunities and working together on joint projects
4.2. AAW's lead involvement in UNDAW training, GenARDIS, Harambee and Grace facilitating opportunities for AAW members and APC Africa members
4.3. Coverage of AAW and AAW member activities, news and events in APCNews, Chakula, APC blogs.
5. AAW Sustainability strategy
Accessing opportunities such as Grace, Harambee, GenARDIS and UNDAW enables AAW to generate income, create opportunities for AAW members.
Long-awaited GEM Francophone workshop begins
In the recent years, APC's francophone community has grown significantly, and with this growth also came an interest for Gender Evaluations Method (GEM) training in French. Requests for the workshop have not gone unheard, and the GEM Francophone Workshop, co-organised by the Women's Networking Support Programme (WNSP), APC-Africa-Women (AAW) and Afriklinks officially began today in Bamako, Mali. The small group of fifteen people is comprised of participants from all over Africa, including two GenARDIS grantees. The workshop, which is coordinated and facilitated by APC's Dafhne Plou and Sylvie Niombo, aims to build capacities in gender evaluation, integrating a GEM practice in Africa, and other challenges related to gender and ICTs in Africa. Additional information and impressions can be found on the Afriklinks webiste (in French).
Connecting gender, agriculture and the information society: GenARDIS kick-off workshop
Seven women and thirteen men from Anglophone and Francophone Africa and the Caribbean met during the last days of September in Gorée Island, Senegal. They have many things in common, but one in particular is their ability to make innovative connections in gender, agriculture and information and communication technologies (ICTs). This ability has led them to be finalists of the Gender, Agricultural and Rural Development in the Information Society (GenARDIS) small grants fund.
APC and UgaBYTES join forces to evaluate gender and ICTs
On the 6th of August 2008, Dafne Plou, an APC facilitator on the Gender Evaluation Methodology (GEM) with telecentres, visited Uganda on a mission of evaluating how ICTs impact the community within gender lines.

Wow! U Gotta See This Baby When White Guy Sings R. Kelly's Bump & Grind
Lawd, the hoops that people jump thru to make things happen! And when this guy used R. Kelly's "Bump & Grind" to get his baby to eat…we dropped the mic! Yes, "I don't see nothing wrong…with some yogurt for lunchtime…"
Not only is it brilliant that he uses the lyrics from R&B greats like R. Kelly and Lionel Richie to get his baby to eat his dinner, that boy can blow! Charles Flartey from New Jersey started filming himself as he sang to his 1 year old son, Tommy. Tommy's response is the funniest thing as he giggles all the way thru it. This is a testament to the fact that soul music has made us laugh and cry, helped to sing out our joys, express our feelings of a love or a loss. Great soul music has helped many of us to create babies, and now it's sorta helping us to raise babies!!!
Check out his rendition of R. Kelly's "Bump & Grind", then Lionel Richie's "Hello". Three words, Hil-lari-ous!
"Turkey and cheese, I need it 'cos I know that I'm a fiend, gonna eat it till my highchair's clean… you taste so good to me, turkey and cheese."

We're fully submersed in the 2012 NFL free-agency period and teams are throwing around cash like it grows on trees. From Calvin Johnson's $132 million deal to Carl Nicks' $47.5 million deal, the NFL has never seen this much money spent this quickly in free agency.
But what if teams are making a mistake with their signings? What if Laurent Robinson becomes the next Javon Walker or David Boston after receiving a $32.5 million contract?
Here's a look at the absolute 10 worst free-agent deals in NFL history.

The Pilgrim Father's Original Pumpkin Pie - Norfolk Million Pie
Total Time
Prep 40 mins
Cook 40 mins
This is a very old English pumpkin pie recipe from Norfolk in East Anglia; it would have been known as Norfolk million pie - million being the old English word for a melon, marrow, pumpkin or any kind of gourd or squash. Please note, this is not the same as most of the modern North American pumpkin pie recipes, but is based on the original recipe from the 15th/16th century. As many of the Pilgrim Father's originated from East Anglia, this recipe undoubtedly crossed the Atlantic with them, and was probably served at their Thanksgiving dinner for the first harvest in the New World - pumpkins being in abundance there! You can use marrow or squash in this pie if you wish, it works just as well as it would have done in the 15th/16th Century! Please note, this recipe uses fresh pumpkin.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 8 ounces shortcrust pastry
- 1 1⁄2 lbs pumpkin or 1 1⁄2 lbs marrow, peeled and fibrous centre removed, cut into cubes
- 3 ounces brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 5 tablespoons milk
- 1 ounce currants or 1 ounce raisins
- Place the pumpkin in a colander over a pan of boiling water and steam for about 20 minutes or until tender. Mash to a pulp and allow to cool.
- Grease and line a 10 - 12" diameter round tin with the shortcrust pastry and reserve the trimmings for decoration.
- Prick the base, line with greaseproof paper and baking beans. Bake at 375F, Gas Mark 5, 190C for about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the beans and paper and bake for a further 5 minutes.
- Whisk the eggs and sugar together with the nutmeg, ginger and ground cinnamon.
- Fold in the mashed pumpkin, currants or raisins and 4 tablespoons of milk and pour into the pastry case.
- Roll out the pastry trimmings and cut into strips with a pastry wheel.
- Brush the strips and the pastry edges with the remaining milk and position strips in a criss-cross lattice pattern over the pie top.
- Bake at 375F, Gas Mark 5, 190C for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until filling has set.
- Cut into wedges and serve warm or cold with whipped cream.
Most Helpful
I am giving this a four because it is easy enough to make (given the palaver with fresh pumpkin!) and does what it is supposed to do. However, I have never had any pumpkin pie before and I have come to the conclusion I don't like it. I tried it hot and cold and it is just a bit too spicy for me. I prefer my sweet pies very sweet and this just isn't. I am glad I tried it though and I am glad I chose this recipe. IT just wasn't what I expected.
Great pie! I used green skinned Japanese pumpkin. To be honest, this isn't too far off in taste from an American style pumpkin pie. We loved the addition of fruit. I used sultanas, which really complimented the flavour of the spices and added an interesting texture. Yum! Thanks French Tart!

Is Trapeze For Sale?
Posted by Chris Silva on October 10, 2007
- 314 Recommendations
- 0 comments
Trapeze Networks, the Pleasanton, CA based WLAN infrastructure vendor and well-known OEM partner of Nortel is currently rumored to be exploring a sale to a larger infrastructure vendor or related technology company. Rumors being what they are, this is completely unconfirmed information but it begs an interesting question. Could Trapeze, as an acquisition, be Nortel's move into making its own 802.11 gear? Would the acquisition of Trapeze alter its perception as a strategic vendor of WLAN infrastructure in the eyes of IT buyers? How would such a move in the market change your perceptions of the vendor, for better or worse?
At any rate, a company could stand to acquire worse technology, based on Trapeze's performance in our most recent WLAN Wave report.

Love this - real good pov stuff, like where you're really getting off looking at your partner's swollen pussy while shagging or, even better, those frame filling jiggling tits.
This always happens when I give my sister a massage, she gets a very happy ending. A creampie. She loves to get massages a lot, I love giving her them.

Christian Wilde & Jimmy Clay - NextDoorBuddies
Models: Christian Wilde and Jimmy Clay
Studio: Next Door Buddies
The other day, during a group BBQ that we were hosting for our hard working performers, Jimmy Clay snuk off to a nearby outbuilding to relieve some pressure, and by pressure, we mean cum. As Jimmy was in mid stroke, the young hunk Christian Wilde appeared, looking for his buddy. Once Christian figures out what Jimmy is up to, he busts through the door, grabs his buddy's cock and begins blowing him. What are friends for, right? After much sucking, moaning and groaning, the two studs blow their loads all over the inside of the shack. Now it's time for some BBQ's chicken and dogs!

No returns. I usually buy my clothes from Kohl's. I love their t-shirts.
Yesterday at some awesome sidewalk sales, I got a maxi dress, a pair of flip flops, necklace and earring set, and a pair of capris. It was from two boutiques.

Three weeks ago I went shopping at Tj Maxx and Kohls and I got two maxi dresses and a bathing suit before we went on vacation. I didn't make any returns. I typically shop online but those are my favorite places to shop in person.

text: Versatile Buttercake Be The First To Review By boonenati recipe Comments | 0 Favorites | 147 Print This is a recipe I got off my mum, it came in a pamphlet with Royal baking powder in Uruguay. I have been using it for more than 30 years. It is very versatile and can be easily changed to an orange, lemon, or chocolate cake. This is the basic recipe from the book, I dont use the baking powder and instead use self raising flour. Also the recipe says it's for a 20cm tin (8 inch), but it doesnt come out very high, so i use this amount for a 3 inch high, 6 inch square tin. Versatile Buttercake Ingredients 100gms of butter (at room temperature)200gms of sugar2 eggs240gms of plain flour2 tsp baking powder1 tsp vanilla (or lemon extract whichever you prefer)2/3 cup of milk Instructions Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celcius. Prepare a 20cm tin by greasing flouring or covering in parchment paper Beat butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add eggs, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and then add flour alternating with milk. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes.

On July 1, the St. Scholastica community welcomed Dr. Colette McCarrick Geary as the 12th president of the College.
She succeeded Dr. Larry Goodwin, who retired.
"It is an extraordinary privilege to become part of the special story that began more than a hundred years ago here in Duluth," Geary said. "A story that we all know was made possible by God's grace, by the vision and hard work of the Benedictine Sisters, and enriched by the countless lay colleagues they welcomed to the community… I am prepared and eager to lend my efforts to this next chapter of the story of St. Scholastica."

Welcome to Spiel, the JC's blog.
More Miller disappointment
So this time Major Miller looked as if he would win again. He was leading by four lengths, cantering and it was a matter of how far he would win by. And then he clobbered the rail by the penultimate hurdle, and that was that. He downed tools and virtually stopped.
Let's all swear at Goldman'sCandice Krieger
Jul 15, 2009
Forgive me for jumping on the Goldman Sachs-bashing bandwagon but quite frankly, it is too good an opportunity to pass up. The tune, I hear, goes something like this (please note these are not real names):
Shocked member of the public number one: "Can you believe that bankers at Goldman Sachs are on track for average pay packets of more than £475,000 this year after the investment bank reported record profits"
Flabbergasted member of the public number two: "Haven't they heard of the recession?!"
I am sure they have heard of it. They have probably just forgotten we are in one, in the same way that they have forgotten that it wasn't so long ago that Goldman's was being bailed out with a $10 bn loan from the US government. And of course there is us, the taxpayers, who have had to stump up huge sums of money to keep the financial system afloat, after the banking sector racked up considerable losses. In fact, if it wasn't for all the public money being ploughed into the banking system, the surviving banks such as Goldman Sachs, BarCap and Morgan Stanley, might not still be err surviving.
As if by magic...
There are very few occasions on which I am struck entirely dumb. I've just had one of them, for the very best of reasons.
We've just had our 32 week scan. Having taken all sorts of measurements and pictures the scanner put them through the 4D software. We were then presented with a series of crystal clear pictures of our daughter, as if she was sitting in front us staring into a camera.
Truly magical. I'm sitting here staring at them, trying to edit the paper, and with my mind somewhere else altogether!
A Reaganite, Thatcherite Conservative leader
There's an excellent post at Conservative Home by Dan Hannan, on the election of Michał Kamiński as leader of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR):
When Michal made his first speech as an MEP, he hymned the praises
of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, to the unfeigned horror of the
EPP. He is, in short, the closest thing to a British Tory outside the
Carlton Club.
In a sense, Michal's election was accidental. It had
originally been planned that he would take a parliamentary
Vice-Presidency while a Briton became the first leader of the European
Conservatives and Reformists (ECR). But my erstwhile colleague Edward
Macmillan-Scott decided to have a go at the Vice-Presidency himself,
which upset all the calculations (Edward lost the Conservative Whip in

Postcard from LodDanny Caro
Jul 14, 2009
Do not enter. That is the sign I was expecting to see after hearing some unfavourable reports about Lod – the venue for Team GB's Open Cricket match against South Africa.
The drugs capital of Israel, as described by my driver Ami, who reminds me of Mr T, is somewhere one should try to avoid. Ami is no weakling. He regularly lifts heavy weights and is built like a brickhouse. He has given me plenty of sound advice since I arrived to cover the Maccabiah, so when he talks, I listen.
The fact that he was less than enthusiastic about taking me there said everything I needed to know.
Possibly the worst pun ever, from Daniel Finkelstein.
AP and the Major
The big news, of course, is that AP McCoy will be riding Major Miller tomorrow. He's running in the 3.40 at Uttoxeter.

Libido gum
Hamas have discovered a dastardly plot:
Is Israel targeting the Palestinian population in Gaza by distributing libido-increasing chewing gum in the Strip? A Hamas police spokesman in the Gaza Strip Islam Shahwan claimed Monday that Israeli intelligence operatives are attempting to "destroy" the young generation by distributing such materials in the coastal enclave.

2007 Ford Ranger Regular Cab XLT 2dr Regular Cab Styleside SB (2.3L 4cyl 5M)
I have checked mileage twice with my 4 cylinder 2.3. I get 28MPG. I do not tow anything and use my truck as everyday trip around town.It rides great drives great and so far excellent service. Would highly recommend.I did my homework before buying comparing to Chevrolet,Toyota.This Ranger beat them all hands down. Love my Ranger.
Sharp looking beautiful truck.I don't get tired after going on trip, excellent ride.
I have owned several Rangers and this is by far my favorite. It is an XLT w/foglamps. The four cylinder performed just fine on a trip to Corpus Christi. Averaged 25 mpg for the trip. Around town I always see 19-20 mpg.
Storage bin below the radio. Cargo hooks in bed. Smooth trans.
Fabric (black) interior stains easily, even from bare elbow. I was disappointed the chrome wheels on an XLT were really plastic chrome.
This is my second Ranger and I am very pleased with my past experience (1993) and my recent purchase. These trucks are tough and well built. My 93 never left me beside the road. I gave it to a family member and they are still driving it every day. Thanks Ford, I love my Ranger!
Reliability, price, and build.
None. Keep building them Ford. I will buy a third Ranger.
I am sure I'm one of the select few who have "traded down" from a 2006 Tacoma to a 2007 Ranger. My brief 2.7 5M SR5 Taco experience included two trips to the dealer for a bad rear end (in which the whole "pumpkin" was replaced) and two trips for a clutch/shift problem that wasn't resolved. The Tacoma is vastly over-rated. My 4x4 was bone jarring on the road, had no torque, shifted like a bucket of bolts, and got just 20-21 mpg. But so much for Yota bashing. My 2.3L XLT gets GREAT mileage (31 mph), shifts smoothly, and has enough power to get up about any hill without downshifting. Yep, the platform is dated, but it still looks good, works hard and is really worth what you pay.
Great gas mileage, torqued nicely and despite its age, still has an attractive exterior. Interior is very functional. Seats are comfortable. Good value for the dollar.
Handling could be improved as well as overall ride quality. As mentioned in other reviews, ride is choppy. Interior could use some updating.

NEW YORK — Will the fourth time be a charm?
Federated Department Stores and May Department Stores are said to be in merger talks once again after three previous attempts stretching back to the Eighties failed to produce a deal. But a merger, if completed this time, would rock the U.S. department store scene, giving Federated unparalleled power over vendors and mall operators alike.
News of the talks sent May's shares up 9.2 percent on Thursday to $34.25. Intraday trading ranged between between $33.33 and $36.45, while the gain moved shares of May closer to its 52-week high of $36.48. Federated's shares closed at $55.31, down 3.1 percent. Trading volume on May was 18 million, well above the three-month average of 2.4 million.
Analysts and observers agreed there is no guarantee an agreement will be reached — especially given a price tag for May estimated at up to $17 billion, including debt. A deal would further the consolidation of the U.S. retail sector seen in the Kmart agreement to buy Sears, and in the continued growth of mass behemoths Wal-Mart Stores and Target Stores.
A combination of Federated and May would create a $30 billion retailer with 1,000 department stores nationwide. Massive layoffs would likely result as Federated would consolidate headquarters, back office and buying operations. It also would likely result in the further disappearance of retail nameplates given Federated's stated aim of focusing its operations on the Bloomingdale's and Macy's flags.
Reaction was divided as analysts and investors weighed the impact of Federated buying May, which was first reported in The Wall Street Journal Thursday. Meanwhile, sources in the banking industry said Federated was shopping around its credit card business, valued at $3.1 billion, while executive search firm Spencer Stuart has been retained to troll for May's next chief executive.
"Federated has been embarked on a very constructive and effective growth-from-within strategy and it's worked. Certainly there are risks involved in sustaining that growth by taking on a huge acquisitions project," said Arnold Aronson, managing director of retail strategies, Kurt Salmon Associates. "There is a risk reward situation here that has to be carefully measured."
One analyst on the buy side for institutional investors, who requested anonymity because of company policy, was more bullish on the deal.
This story first appeared in the January 21, 2005 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
"This deal makes a lot of sense," he said. "They'll be a ton of work to transform the May stores into Macy's stores, but a combined unit can streamline so much selling, general and administrative expenses. Of course, that will result in a lot of jobs lost. I'm predicting that either May will get a new ceo in a few weeks or the deal will get done. Either way, something will happen in the next few weeks."
Federated and May declined comment.
If Federated bought May, the retailer would have a dizzying number of options, including:
- Dismantling May's St. Louis headquarters, which would mean hundreds of layoffs and millions of dollars in cost-savings.
- Pulling down May's regional nameplates that have become tired and less relevant to consumers over the years, such as The Jones Store, L.S. Ayres, Famous-Barr, Kauffman and Meir & Frank, and selling off dozens of locations to other department stores and discounters.
- Selling off May's credit card operation and its bridal specialty businesses.
- Flowing private labels INC, Charter Club, Alfani and other Federated brands into May locations. May stores have well under half the private label penetration of Federated stores. Federated also could use the Marshall Field's name for private labels. Only 7 percent of the merchandise at Field's bears the Field's label.
In addition, Federated would be confronted with difficult decisions regarding May's most recognized store brands — Marshall Field's and Lord & Taylor. In the case of Field's, Federated already bid for it last summer, but May took it for a $3.24 billion price tag. While it's a coveted nameplate, there's no doubt that Federated would consider the potential for having Macy's situated on State Street in Chicago, site of the Field's flagship, among other important Midwest sites. One former Federated official said that would be the plan.
Another key decision would be whether to operate stores that are more moderate in price than either Macy's and/or Bloomingdale's. Federated previously had a three-tier pricing strategy, but folded its Stern's moderate chain.
The two corporate cultures are also very different. May is more centralized with a buying matrix, while Federated operates more regionally, with only its home and private label businesses, representing roughly 25 percent of its total business, conducted centrally. May is also more price promotional, and operates its buying office out of St. Louis, where vendors met May buyers and set up mini showrooms.
Regarding the sale of Federated's credit card business, investment bankers pointed to General Electric Consumer Card Co., Citibank and HSBC as the leading contenders to scoop it up. Federated's credit card portfolio is valued at $3.1 billion, and is partly owned by the retailer and GE Consumer.
Retail analysts Dana Cohen at Banc of America Securities and Stacy Turnof of Merrill Lynch both noted in research reports Thursday that, should a merger or sale take place, May's credit card business also will likely be sold.
Analysts and bankers said a sale of May, if it were to go through, would fetch a purchase price of at least one times sales, or $15 billion, and possibly as high as $17 billion. That price tag would beat the $11 billion merger of Sears and Kmart, announced two months ago. A $17 billion deal, Banc of America's Cohen wrote in her report, includes the purchase of 311 million May shares at $36 a share, along with the assumption of $6.2 billion in debt. And should a merger not take place, the sale of the credit card business "will still occur," Cohen predicted in her research note.
Sources Thursday said Federated and May have been in merger talks on three different occasions, in the late Eighties when May was run by David Farrell, in the mid-Nineties and again about two years ago. On Sunday and Wednesday this week, Terry Lundgren, Federated's chairman, president and ceo, declined to comment on the May-Federated rumor, as reported.
Sources said there are several compelling reasons for the takeover, but they also have plenty of reservations about it. One thing they all advise is for Federated not to be hasty, mainly because the retailer has been on a successful course, and an acquisition of this size could veer Federated off course.
One Wall Street source said, "The merger doesn't make sense. It's highly dilutive to the Federated shareholders, creates a huge amount of debt and undoes all the things that Terry [Lundgren] has been trying to do in terms of consolidation. He's worked for three years to have two nametags [Macy's and Bloomingdale's] from which Federated is about to receive all the benefits with huge increases of profitability. May will definitely distract him, and whether or not the Street will understand this, is a big question."
However, the merger would produce the second-largest department store operation in the country, surpassing J.C. Penney, but still below Sears. That means greater buying clout — a prospect that had some vendors quaking on Thursday — and a multitude of cost-saving opportunities, including wiping out corporate administrative and buying offices in St. Louis and divisional headquarters around the country. Secondly, Federated gets instant entry into Texas, where it has no stores, and the Chicago market, where only a handful of Bloomingdale's stores operate.
It's noteworthy that Lundgren has been showered with kudos for elevating Federated's sales and merchandising, and the look of the stores. But it's also said that Lundgren desires to make his mark on the industry and change the retail landscape, much like the retail executives under whom he mentored, such as Allen Questrom, former ceo of Penney's and of Federated.
"He's adventurous, but he's not extreme," said one market source who knows Lundgren.
Lundgren and the Federated team already have lived through several consolidations, including merging Macy's and Broadway in the Nineties, but the market source said it would be prudent for Federated to wait and see if another interested May buyer emerged. This type of player, such as a private equity firm, could sell off pieces of May that would interest Federated.
Industry management consultant Emmanuel Weintraub echoed a prediction on time frame for a deal: "Either May's board will decide that its vision is to sell, or that its vision for May entails the hiring of a chief executive to execute that vision."
Merrill Lynch's Turnof predicted in her research report that a merger between the two would result in Federated converting May stores over to the Macy's nameplate. "A merger could be a positive sign for other retailers such as Nordstrom, Saks or Neiman Marcus. At our Merrill Lynch field trip this morning, Nordstrom indicated that it would be interested in some of the locations that could be for sale if a merger were to occur (in addition to the 50 locations that they have previously identified)," she wrote.
As for the store base, Turnoff added that May owns 70 percent of its real estate while Federated owns 50 percent. And while Federated has a heavier concentration in the West, May's stores are concentrated in the Midwest and the Northeast. Cohen said the two operations probably have a 20 percent overlap, with Southern California and Boston being the two most affected regions.
"About 10 percent, or 68 real estate investment trust-owned malls, contain Federated and May stores, with 14 of those malls having more than two overlap stores," said Michael Bilerman, real estate investment trust analyst at Citigroup Global Markets.
The REIT analyst predicted that a merger would entail store closures, since "94 malls where there exists a department store overlap between the companies, representing approximately 20 percent of each company's mall locations." He also noted that past experience shows it may not be that easy to shutter stores. "May's 32 Lord & Taylor [store closures] has shown that disposing or closing mall anchor real estate is difficult and time consuming, given the operating covenants and/or reciprocal easement agreements in place between the tenant and landlord," Bilerman wrote. He explained that a mall anchor will typically have an operating covenant for 20 years dictating that it must continue to operate the store and not close it, and a sale or closure of the store becomes more difficult because the mall anchor would still be bound by the agreement.
According to Bilerman, 460 of May's 485 total stores, after its announced store divestitures, are based in malls. In contrast, Federated operates 435 mall-based stores in its 459 total unit count. There are 101 malls with both a May and a Federated store, and 68 of those are owned by REITs.
"The real challenge here is rationalizing the store base, rationalizing the brands and the whole merchandising concept," said Irwin Cohen, senior adviser, Peter J. Solomon. "The other stuff is merger 101."
Bob Pressman, executive vice president of the national retail division of Studley Inc., said a merged Federated-May might "create more leverage from the retailers in negotiating mall sites, but at the end, most of these anchors get favorable deals anyway."
"They get low-cost build-outs or favorable land deals," Pressman explained. "Typically, the money is not made in the anchors, it's made in the inland stores, so there is not much else landlords can do for anchors that they haven't already done."
Pressman went on to say that an acquisition by Federated is "more of a merchandising play and a customer profile play than a real estate play. Each of the companies has its own specific customer profile and merchandising targeting [its] customers."
Still, Pressman described the prospect of Federated buying May as a "unique" deal because there are so few retailers that own their own real estate.
"Both of these two are in a long tradition of owning their own real estate," Pressman said. "Their views are similar, which is that, when you have a large store and make a large investment, it's cheaper to own than lease. A merger would make it an incredibly valuable and largely owned real estate portfolio."
Consultant Kurt Barnard observed, "Nothing better could happen to the May Co. than a marriage with Federated. May's downfall over the years is that it shielded itself from all new ideas and from the changes in competition. The problem predates Gene Kahn."
From some vendors' viewpoint, a merger between the two could result in a sensible fit.
Pam Prahl, chief operating officer of junior jeans vendor Mudd USA Inc., said an acquisition of May by Federated could reduce the amount of price promotion in the department store channel, much of which is the result of those firms' head-to-head competition.
"Federated has already moved forward with that, and I think you're seeing less promotion and coupons coming out of the Federated group. They're dealing with less inventory, but being more productive," she said.
As far as her business, she said her reaction would depend on how the deal affected merchandising decisions.
"I don't look at it as a negative, but it also really depends on what their internal strategy would be with their merchandisers and buyers," she said. "If they're planning on consolidating everyone to New York, I don't think that's the right thing to do for their business."
Overall, Prahl — who spent three years in merchandising at May prior to joining Mudd — said the two firms would be a logical fit.
"They have similar strategies, but they're executed a little differently," she said. "Federated obviously has been doing it a little bit better due to their sales volume, their profitability, the value of their stock."
Recent Initiatives
- Planned conversion of all non-Bloomingdale's regional department store nameplates to the Macy's nameplate, effective March 6, to allow expense management and leverage the Macy's name via national advertising.
- Launched new Macy's Home Store organization in early February 2004 to accelerate sales and differentiate product in its home furnishings unit. Macy's Bridal Club, a wedding registry program, launched in June 2004.
- Launched collaboration with Liz Claiborne in July 2003 to simplify merchandising strategies, minimize excess ownership and maximize sales.
- Acquired Marshall Field's from Target Corp. in July 2004 for $3.2 billion.
- Divested 32 underperforming Lord & Taylor stores throughout 2003 and 2004.
- The company's bridal group, which includes over 200 David's Bridal stores, acquired 225 tuxedo stores in new markets such as the West and Midwest, thereby doubling the number of tuxedo stores in the U.S. over the past few years.

Coach fired after dance team performed song Miley Cyrus made infamous
A Wisconsin high school dance coach has been fired after her team performed a routine to an edited version of "Blurred Lines," a popular song by Robin Thicke, the Wausau Daily Herald reports.
