A Japanese Brazilian (日系ブラジル人 Nikkei Burajiru-jin?, nipo-brasileiro, pronounced in Portuguese: [ˌnʲipobɾaziˈlejɾu]) is a Brazilian citizen, national or natural of Japanese descent, or a Japanese immigrant living in Brazil.[6]
The first Japanese immigrants arrived in Brazil in 1908. Brazil is home to the largest Japanese population outside of Japan.[7] According to the IBGE, as of 2000 there were between 1.4 and 1.5 million people of Japanese descent in Brazil.[2][8]
The largest concentrations of Japanese people in Brazil are found in the states of São Paulo and Paraná.
The overall Japanese Brazilian population is declining, secondary to a decreased birth rate and an aging population; return immigration to Japan,[9][10][11] as well as intermarriage with other races and dilution of ethnic identity.
Between the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries, coffee was the main export product of Brazil. At first, Brazilian farmers used African slave labour in the coffee plantations, but in 1850, the slave traffic was abolished in Brazil. To solve the labour shortage, the Brazilian elite decided to attract European immigrants to work in the coffee plantations.This also supported the governments push toward "Whitening" the country. The hope was that through procreation that the large black and Indian groups would be eliminated or reduced.[12] The government and farmers offered to pay European immigrants's passage. The plan encouraged millions of Europeans, most of them Italians,[13] to migrate to Brazil. However, once in Brazil, the immigrants received very low salaries and worked in poor conditions, similar to the conditions faced by the black slaves, including long working hours and frequent ill-treatment by their bosses. Because of this, in 1902, Italy enacted Decree Prinetti, prohibiting subsidized immigration to Brazil.[14]
The end of feudalism in Japan generated great poverty in the rural population, so many Japanese began to emigrate in search of better living conditions.
In the 1930s, Japanese industrialisation had significantly boosted the population. However, prospects for Japanese people to immigrate to other countries were limited. The US had banned non-white immigration from some parts of the world[15] on the basis that they would not integrate into society; this Exclusion Clause, of the 1924 Immigration Act specifically targeted the Japanese. At the same time in Australia, the White Australia Policy prevented the immigration of non-whites to Australia.
First immigrants[edit]
In 1907, the Brazilian and the Japanese governments signed a treaty permitting Japanese migration to Brazil. The first Japanese immigrants (790 people – mostly farmers) came to Brazil in 1908 on the Kasato Maru. They travelled from the Japanese port of Kobe via the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.[16] Many of them became owners of coffee plantations.[17]
Japanese immigrants began arriving in 1908, as a result of the decrease in the Italian immigration to Brazil and a new labour shortage on the coffee plantations.[18]
In the first seven years, 3,434 more Japanese families (14,983 people) arrived. The beginning of World War I in 1914 started a boom in Japanese migration to Brazil; such that between 1917 and 1940 over 164,000 Japanese came to Brazil, 75% of them going to São Paulo, where most of the coffee plantations were located.[19]

New life in Brazil[edit]
The vast majority of Japanese immigrants intended to work a few years in Brazil, make some money, and go home. However, "getting rich quick" was a dream that was almost impossible to achieve. The immigrants were paid a very low salary and worked long hours of exhausting work. Also, everything that the immigrants consumed had to be purchased from the landowner (see truck system). Soon, their debts became very high.[22]
The land owners in Brazil still had a slavery mentality. Immigrants, although employees, had to confront the rigidity and lack of labour laws. Indebted and subjected to hours of exhaustive work, often suffering physical violence, the immigrants saw the leak as an alternative to escape the situation. Suicide, yonige (to escape at night), and strikes were some of the attitudes taken by many Japanese because of the exploitation on coffee farms.[23]
The barrier of language, religion, dietary habits, clothing, lifestyles and differences in climate entailed a culture shock. Many immigrants tried to return to Japan but were prevented by Brazilian farmers, who required them to comply with the contract and work with the coffee.[citation needed]
On 1 August 1908, The New York Times remarked that relations between Brazil and Japan at the time were "not extremely cordial", because of "the attitude of Brazil toward the immigration of Japanese laborers."[24]
Japanese children, born in Brazil, were educated in schools founded by the Japanese community. Most only learned to speak the Japanese language and lived within the Japanese community in rural areas. Over the years, many Japanese managed to buy their own land and became small farmers. They started to plant strawberries, tea and rice. Only 6% of children were the result of interracial relationships. Immigrants rarely accepted marriage with a non-Japanese person.[25]
Prejudice and forced assimilation[edit]
On July 28, 1921, representatives Andrade Bezerra and Cincinato Braga proposed a law whose Article 1 provided: "The immigration of individuals from the black race to Brazil is prohibited." On October 22, 1923, representative Fidélis Reis produced another bill on the entry of immigrants, whose fifth article was as follows: "The entry of settlers from the black race into Brazil is prohibited. For Asian [immigrants] there will be allowed each year a number equal to 5% of those residing in the country.(...)".[26]
Some years before World War II, the government of President Getúlio Vargas initiated a process of forced assimilation of people of immigrant origin in Brazil. The Constitution of 1934 had a legal provision about the subject: "The concentration of immigrants anywhere in the country is prohibited, the law should govern the selection, location and assimilation of the alien". The assimilationist project affected mainly German, Italian, Jewish, Japanese immigrants and their descendants.[27]
In the government's conception, the non-White population of Brazil should disappear within the dominant class of Portuguese Brazilian origin. This way, the mixed-race population should be "whitened" through selective mixing, then a preference for European immigration. In consequence, the non-white population would, gradually, achieve a desirable White phenotype. The government focused on Italians, Jews and Japanese. The formation of "ethnic cysts" among immigrants of non-Portuguese origin prevented the realization of the whitening project of the Brazilian population. The government, then, started to act on these communities of foreign origin to force them to integrate into a "Brazilian culture" with Portuguese roots. It was the dominant idea of a unification of all the inhabitants of Brazil under a single "national spirit". During World War II, Brazil severed relations with Japan. Japanese newspapers and teaching the Japanese language in schools were banned, leaving Portuguese as the only option for Japanese descendants. Newspapers in German or Italian were also advised to cease production, as Germany and Italy were Japan's allies in the war.[17] In 1939, research of Estrada de Ferro Noroeste do Brasil, from São Paulo, showed that 87.7% of Japanese Brazilians read newspapers in the Japanese language, a high figure for a country with many illiterate people like Brazil at the time.[28]
The Japanese appeared as undesirable immigrants within the "whitening" and assimilationist policy of the Brazilian government.[28] Oliveira Viana, a Brazilian jurist, historian and sociologist described the Japanese immigrants as follows: "They (Japanese) are like sulfur: insoluble". The Brazilian magazine "O Malho" in its edition of December 5, 1908 issued a charge of Japanese immigrants with the following legend: "The government of São Paulo is stubborn. After the failure of the first Japanese immigration, it contracted 3,000 yellow people. It insists on giving Brazil a race diametrically opposite to ours".[28] In 1941, the Brazilian Minister of Justice, Francisco Campos, defended the ban on admission of 400 Japanese immigrants in São Paulo and wrote: "their despicable standard of living is a brutal competition with the country's worker; their selfishness, their bad faith, their refractory character, make them a huge ethnic and cultural cyst located in the richest regions of Brazil".[28]
The Japanese Brazilian community was strongly marked by restrictive measures when Brazil declared war against Japan in August 1942. Japanese Brazilians could not travel the country without safe conduct issued by the police; over 200 Japanese schools were closed and radio equipment was seized to prevent transmissions on short wave from Japan. The goods of Japanese companies were confiscated and several companies of Japanese origin had interventions, including the newly founded Banco América do Sul. Japanese Brazilians were prohibited from driving motor vehicles (even if they were taxi drivers), buses or trucks on their property. The drivers employed by Japanese had to have permission from the police. Thousands of Japanese immigrants were arrested or expelled from Brazil on suspicion of espionage. There were many anonymous denunciations because of "activities against national security" arising from disagreements between neighbors, recovery of debts and even fights between children.[28] Japanese Brazilians were arrested for "suspicious activity" when they were in artistic meetings or picnics. On July 10, 1943, approximately 10,000 Japanese and German immigrants who lived in Santos had 24 hours to close their homes and businesses and move away from the Brazilian coast. The police acted without any notice. About 90% of people displaced were Japanese. To reside in Baixada Santista, the Japanese had to have a safe conduct.[28] In 1942, the Japanese community who introduced the cultivation of pepper in Tomé-Açu, in Pará, was virtually turned into a "concentration camp". This time, the Brazilian ambassador in Washington, D.C., Carlos Martins Pereira e Sousa, encouraged the government of Brazil to transfer all the Japanese Brazilians to "internment camps" without the need for legal support, in the same manner as was done with the Japanese residents in the United States. No single suspicion of activities of Japanese against "national security" was confirmed.[28]
During the National Constituent Assembly of 1946, Rio Miguel Couto Filho proposed Amendments to the Constitution as follows: "It is prohibited the entry of Japanese immigrants of any age and any origin in the country". In the final vote, a tie with 99 votes in favor and 99 against. Senator Fernando de Melo Viana, who chaired the session of the Constituent Assembly, had the casting vote and rejected the constitutional amendment. By only one vote, the immigration of Japanese people to Brazil was not prohibited by the Brazilian Constitution of 1946.[28]
The Japanese immigrants appeared to the Brazilian government as undesirable and non-assimilable immigrants. As Asian, they did not contribute to the "whitening" process of the Brazilian people as desired by the ruling Brazilian elite. In this process of forced assimilation the Japanese, more than any other immigrant group, suffered the ethno-cultural persecution imposed during this period.[28]
For decades, Japanese Brazilians were seen as a delayed and non-assimilable people. The immigrants were treated only as a reserve of cheap labour that should be used on coffee plantations and that Brazil should avoid absorbing their cultural influences. This widespread conception that the Japanese were negative for Brazil was changed in the following decades. In the 1970s, Japan became one of the richest countries of the world, synonymous with modernity and progress. In the same period, Japanese Brazilians achieved a great cultural and economic success, probably the immigrant group that most rapidly achieved progress in Brazil. Due to the powerful Japanese economy and due to the rapid enrichment of the Nisei, in the last decades Brazilians of Japanese descent achieved a social prestige in Brazil that largely contrasts with the aggression with which the early immigrants were treated in the country.[28][29]

Integration and intermarriage[edit]

Intermarriage in the Japanese-Brazilian community[25] | ||||
Generation | Denomination in | Proportion of each generation in all community (%) | Proportion of mixed-race in each generation (%) | |
Japanese | English | |||
1st | Issei | Immigrants | 12.51% | 0% |
2nd | Nisei | Children | 30.85% | 6% |
3rd | Sansei | Grandchildren | 41.33% | 42% |
4th | Yonsei | Great-grandchildren | 12.95% | 61% |
Nowadays, many Japanese Brazilians belong to the third generation (sansei), who make up 41.33% of the community. First generation (issei) are 12.51%, second generation (nisei) are 30.85% and fourth generation (yonsei) 12.95%.[25]
A more recent phenomenon in Brazil is intermarriages between Japanese Brazilians and non-ethnic Japanese. Though people of Japanese descent make up only 0.8% of the country's population, they are the largest Japanese community outside of Japan, with over 1.4 million people. In areas with large numbers of Japanese, such as São Paulo and Paraná, since the 1970s, large numbers of Japanese-descendants started to marry into other ethnic groups. Jeffrey Lesser's work has shown the complexities of integration both during the Vargas era, and more recently during the dictatorship (1964–1984)
Nowadays, among the 1.4 million Brazilians of Japanese descent, 28% have some non-Japanese ancestry.[30] This number reaches only 6% among children of Japanese immigrants, but 61% among great-grandchildren of Japanese immigrants.
Immigrants, as well as most Japanese, were mostly followers of Shinto and Buddhism. In the Japanese communities in Brazil, there was a strong performance of Brazilian priests to convert the Japanese. More recently, intermarriage with Catholics also contributed to the growth of Catholicism in the community. Currently, 60% of Japanese-Brazilians are Roman Catholics and 25% are adherents of a Japanese religion.[31]
The knowledge of the Japanese and Portuguese languages reflects the integration of the Japanese in Brazil over several generations. Although first generation immigrants will often not learn Portuguese well or not use it frequently, most second generation are bilingual. The third generation, however, are most likely monolingual in Portuguese or speak, along with Portuguese, non-fluent Japanese.[32]
A study conducted in the Japanese Brazilian communities of Aliança and Fukuhaku, both in the state of São Paulo, released information on the language spoken by these people. Before coming to Brazil, 12.2% of the first generation interviewed from Aliança reported they had studied the Portuguese language in Japan and 26.8% said to have used it once on arrival in Brazil. Many of the Japanese immigrants took classes of Portuguese and learned about the History of Brazil before migrating to the country. In Fukuhaku only 7.7% of the people reported they had studied Portuguese in Japan, but 38.5% said they had contact with Portuguese once on arrival in Brazil. All the immigrants reported they spoke exclusively Japanese at home in the first years in Brazil. However, in 2003, the figure dropped to 58.5% in Aliança and 33.3% in Fukuhaku. This probably reflects that through contact with the younger generations of the family, who speak mostly Portuguese, many immigrants also began to speak Portuguese at home.
The first Brazilian born generation, the Nisei, alternate between the use of Portuguese and Japanese. Regarding the use of Japanese at home, 64.3% of Nisei informants from Aliança and 41.5% from Fukuhaku used Japanese when they were children. In comparison, only 14.3% of the third generation, Sansei, reported to speak Japanese at home when they were children. It reflects that the second generation was mostly educated by their Japanese parents using the Japanese language. On the other hand, the third generation did not have much contact with their grandparent's language, and most of them speak the national language of Brazil, Portuguese, as their mother tongue.[33]
Japanese Brazilians usually speak Japanese more often when they live along with a first generation relative. Those who do not live with a Japanese-born relative usually speak Portuguese more often.[34] Japanese spoken in Brazil is usually a mix of different Japanese dialects, since the Japanese community in Brazil came from all regions of Japan, influenced by the Portuguese language. The high numbers of Brazilian immigrants returning from Japan will probably produce more Japanese speakers in Brazil.[25]
Distribution and population[edit]
2010 IBGE estimates for Japanese Brazilians[35] |
State | Population of Japanese Brazilians |
São Paulo | 693,495 | ||
Paraná | 143,588 | ||
Pernambuco | 88,449 | ||
Minas Gerais | 75,449 | ||
Others | 414,704 | ||
Total | 1,405,685 |
According to the IBGE, as of 2000 there were 70,932 Japanese born immigrants living in Brazil (compared to the 158,087 found in 1970). Of the Japanese, 51,445 lived in São Paulo. Most of the immigrants were over 60 years old, because the immigration to Brazil is ended since the mid-20th century.[36]
In 2008, IBGE published a book about the Japanese diaspora and it estimated that, as of 2000, there were 1,405,685 people of Japanese descent in Brazil. The Japanese immigration was concentrated to São Paulo and, still in 2000, 49.3% of Japanese Brazilians lived in this state. There were 693,495 people of Japanese origin in São Paulo, followed by Paraná with 143,588. More recently, Brazilians of Japanese descent are making presence in places that used to have a small population of this group. For example: in 1960, there were 532 Japanese Brazilians in Bahia, while in 2000 they were 78,449, or 0.6% of the state's population. Northern Brazil (excluding Pará) saw its Japanese population increase from 2,341 in 1960 (0.2% of the total population) to 54,161 (0.8%) in 2000. During the same period, in Central-Western Brazil they increased from 3,582 to 66,119 (0.7% of the population).[37]
For the whole Brazil, with over 1.4 million people of Japanese descent, the largest percentages were found in the states of São Paulo (1.9% of Japanese descent), Paraná (1.5%) and Mato Grosso do Sul (1.4%). The smallest percentages were found in Roraima and Alagoas (with only 8 Japanese). The percentage of Brazilians with Japanese roots largely increased among children and teenagers. In 1991, 0.6% of Brazilians between 0 and 14 years old were of Japanese descent. In 2000, they were 4%, as a result of the returning of Dekasegis (Brazilians of Japanese descent who work in Japan) to Brazil.[8]
The overall Japanese Brazilian population is declining, secondary to a decreased birth rate and an aging population; return immigration to Japan[9][10][11] as well as emigration to other countries, including the United States;[38] as well as intermarriage with other races and dilution of ethnic identity.

Japanese from Maringá[edit]
A 2008 census revealed details about the population of Japanese origin from the city of Maringá in Paraná, making it possible to have a profile of the Japanese Brazilian population.[39]
- Numbers
There were 4,034 families of Japanese descent from Maringá, comprising 14,324 people.
- Dekasegi
1,846 or 15% of Japanese Brazilians from Maringá were working in Japan.
- Generations
Of the 12,478 people of Japanese origin living in Maringá, 6.61% were Issei (born in Japan); 35.45% were Nisei (children of Japanese); 37.72% were Sansei (grandchildren) and 13.79% were Yonsei (great-grandchildren).
- Average age
The average age was of 40.12 years old
- Gender
52% of Japanese Brazilians from the city were women.
- Average number of children per woman
2.4 children (similar to the average Southern Brazilian woman)
- Religion
Most were Roman Catholics (32% of Sansei, 27% of Nisei, 10% of Yonsei and 2% of Issei). Protestant religions were the second most followed (6% of Nisei, 6% of Sansei, 2% of Yonsei and 1% of Issei) and next was Buddhism (5% of Nisei, 3% of Issei, 2% of Sansei and 1% of Yonsei).
- Family
49.66% were married.
- Knowledge of the Japanese language
47% can understand, read and write in Japanese. 31% of the second generation and 16% of the third generation can speak Japanese.
- Schooling
31% elementary education; 30% secondary school and 30% higher education.
- Mixed-race
20% were mixed-race (have some non-Japanese origin).
The Dekasegi[edit]
During the 1980s, the Japanese economic situation improved and achieved stability. Many Japanese Brazilians went to Japan as contract workers due to economic and political problems in Brazil, and they were termed "Dekasegi". Working visas were offered to Brazilian Dekasegis in 1990, encouraging more immigration from Brazil.
In 1990, the Japanese government authorized the legal entry of Japanese and their descendants until the third generation in Japan. At that time, Japan was receiving a large number of illegal immigrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh, China, and Thailand. The legislation of 1990 was intended to select immigrants who entered Japan, giving a clear preference for Japanese descendants from South America, especially Brazil. These people were lured to Japan to work in areas that the Japanese refused (the so-called "three K": Kitsui, Kitanai and Kiken – hard, dirty and dangerous). Many Japanese Brazilians began to immigrate. The influx of Japanese descendants from Brazil to Japan was and continues to be large: there are over 300,000 Brazilians living in Japan today, mainly as workers in factories.[40]
Because of their Japanese ancestry, the Japanese Government believed that Brazilians would be more easily integrated into Japanese society. In fact, this easy integration did not happen, since Japanese Brazilians and their children born in Japan are treated as foreigners by native Japanese.[41][42] This apparent contradiction between being and seeming causes conflicts of adaptation for the migrants and their acceptance by the natives.[43]
They also constitute the largest number of Portuguese speakers in Asia, greater than those of formerly Portuguese East Timor, Macau and Goa combined. Likewise, Brazil maintains its status as home to the largest Japanese community outside of Japan.
Cities and prefectures with the most Brazilians in Japan are: Hamamatsu, Aichi, Shizuoka, Kanagawa, Saitama, and Gunma. Brazilians in Japan are usually educated. However, they are employed in the Japanese automotive and electronics factories.[44] Most Brazilians go to Japan attracted by the recruiting agencies (legal or illegal) in conjunction with the factories. Many Brazilians are subjected to hours of exhaustive work, earning a small salary by Japanese standards.[45] Nevertheless, in 2002, Brazilians living in Japan sent US$ 2.5 billion to Brazil.[46]
Due to the financial crisis of 2007–2010, many Brazilians returned from Japan to Brazil. From January 2011 to March, it is estimated that 20,000 Brazilian immigrants left Japan.[47]
Brazilian identity in Japan[edit]
In Japan, many Japanese Brazilians suffer prejudice because they do not know how to speak Japanese correctly. Despite their Japanese appearance, Brazilians in Japan are culturally Brazilians, usually only speaking Portuguese, and are treated as foreigners.[48]
The children of Dekasegi Brazilians encounter difficulties in Japanese schools.[49] Thousands of Brazilian children are out of school in Japan.[48]
Academic studies report that many Japanese Brazilians felt (and were often treated) as Japanese in Brazil. [50][not in citation given]
The Brazilian influence in Japan is growing. Tokyo has the largest carnival parade outside of Brazil itself. Portuguese is the third most spoken foreign language in Japan, after Chinese and Korean, and is among the most studied languages by students in the country. In Oizumi, it is estimated that 15% of the population speak Portuguese as their native language. Japan has two newspapers in the Portuguese language, besides radio and television stations spoken in that language. The Brazilian fashion and Bossa Nova music are also popular among Japanese.[51]
In 2005, there were an estimated 302,000 Brazilian nationals in Japan, of whom 25,000 also hold Japanese citizenship. Each year, 4,000 Brazilian immigrants return to Brazil from Japan.[52]
100th anniversary[edit]
In 2008, many celebrations took place in Japan and Brazil to remember the centenary of Japanese immigration.[53] Prince Naruhito of Japan arrived in Brazil on June 17 to participate in the celebrations. He visited Brasília, São Paulo, Paraná, Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro. Throughout his stay in Brazil, the Prince was received by a crowd of Japanese immigrants and their descendants. He broke the protocol of the Japanese Monarchy, which prohibits physical contact with people, and greeted the Brazilian people. In the São Paulo sambódromo, the Prince spoke to 50,000 people and in Paraná to 75,000. He also visited the University of São Paulo, where people of Japanese descent make up 14% of the 80,000 students.[54] Naruhito gave a speech in Portuguese.[55][56]

Africa and Its Diasporas in the Market Place: Cultural Resources and the Global Economy
The Arts Council of The African Studies Association Fifteenth Triennial Symposium on African Art at University of California, Los Angeles MARCH 23 - 26, 2011
Published: Tuesday, November 02, 2010
ACASA, the Arts Council of the African Studies Association, promotes greater understanding of African material and expressive culture in all its many forms, and encourages contact and collaboration with African and Diaspora artists and scholars.
The ACASA Triennial Symposium on African Art is a distinguished series of conferences on African Art held every third year. The Arts Council of the African Studies Association (ACASA), founded in 1983, took over the planning and running of this event, familiarly known as the Triennial, in 1986.
The core theme of the 2011 ACASA symposium examines the current status of Africa's cultural resources and the influence—for good or ill—of market forces both inside and outside the continent. As nation states decline in influence and power, and corporations, private patrons and foundations increasingly determine the kinds of cultural production that will be supported, how is African art being reinterpreted and by whom? Are artists and scholars able to successfully articulate their own intellectual and cultural values in this climate? Is there anything we can do to address the situation?

4 Buy-Rated Dividend Stocks: DFT, AEE, RCI, KMP
Editor's Note: Any reference to TheStreet Ratings and its underlying recommendation does not reflect the opinion of TheStreet, Inc. or any of its contributors including Jim Cramer or Stephanie Link.TheStreet Ratings' stock model projects a stock's total return potential over a 12-month period including both price appreciation and dividends. Our Buy, Hold or Sell ratings designate how we expect these stocks to perform against a general benchmark of the equities market and interest rates.
While plenty of high-yield opportunities exist, investors must always consider the safety of their dividend and the total return potential of their investment. It is not uncommon for a struggling company to suspend high-yielding dividends and subsequently result in precipitous share price declines.
TheStreet Ratings' stock rating model views dividends favorably, but not so much that other factors are disregarded. Our model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e. how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits?; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to its stock's performance.
These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel — rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
The following pages contain our analysis of 4 stocks with substantial yields, that ultimately, we have rated "Buy."
Dupont Fabros Technology
Dividend Yield: 4.40%Dupont Fabros Technology (NYSE:DFT) shares currently have a dividend yield of 4.40%. DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc., a real estate investment trust (REIT), engages in the ownership, acquisition, development, operation, management, and lease of large-scale data center facilities in the United States. The company has a P/E ratio of 43.98.The average volume for Dupont Fabros Technology has been 662,400 shares per day over the past 30 days. Dupont Fabros Technology has a market cap of $1.5 billion and is part of the real estate industry. Shares are down 4.8% year to date as of the close of trading on Wednesday.TheStreet Ratings rates Dupont Fabros Technology as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, reasonable valuation levels, good cash flow from operations, expanding profit margins and growth in earnings per share. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat disappointing return on equity.Highlights from the ratings report include:- DFT's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 9.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 10.7%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 106.43% to $37.98 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, DUPONT FABROS TECHNOLOGY INC has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -0.31%.
- 38.25% is the gross profit margin for DUPONT FABROS TECHNOLOGY INC which we consider to be strong. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 20.50% trails the industry average.
- DUPONT FABROS TECHNOLOGY INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, DUPONT FABROS TECHNOLOGY INC reported lower earnings of $0.41 versus $0.69 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.74 versus $0.41).

Cyril Armleder and Charles-Henri Lorthioir have clearly thought long and hard about the lessons of the market crisis in 2008 and how they should best respond.
Right to left: Cyril Armleder, Charles-Henri Lorthioir and Shahar Zer
The duo, who worked together at Goldman Sachs and then on the credit fund team at GLG, have now come back to the industry with a new fund of their own in partnership with former Lehman Brothers man Shahar Zer.
The new Northlight European Fundamental Credit Fund, launched at the beginning of December with initial assets of about $50 million, pioneers a number of innovative features that seek to better align the interests of the managers and investors.
Among other things, Northlight is pioneering a new trademarked 'three-way NAV' process. What it calls the 3WayNAV is operated in partnership...

Photo: Jonny Valiant Rosie, a big black labrador, is doing her best to cadge a handout in the sunny kitchen of the Oz family's suburban New Jersey home. It's hard to blame her, given the aroma of cumin and cardamom toasting in a skillet and the scent of fresh cilantro being chopped by Lisa, Dr. Mehmet Oz's wife, on a cutting board next to the six-burner stove.
"Don't feed her—she's a flabrador," says Dr. Oz. "She's flabby. She loves to eat everything. I told Lisa we have to put her on a diet." One of the most respected cardiothoracic surgeons in the country, Dr. Oz has spent much of his career dealing with the consequences of his patients' unhealthy lifestyle choices. To teach people how to control their medical destinies, he launched The Dr. Oz Show and has published nine blockbuster books on everything from losing weight and eating right to staying young. No wonder he holds the family dog to such a high standard of health. Simply put, Dr. Oz lives and eats the way he thinks everyone should. He exercises every day (a four-mile run and ten minutes of yoga, plus basketball in his basement court whenever he can), assiduously avoids simple sugars, and eats tiny "meals" at 60-minute intervals. His standard breakfast is yogurt and blueberries; he snacks on almonds and walnuts in the afternoon. Dinner is vegetarian because Lisa, who has not eaten meat since age 15, does almost all the cooking in the house. "I'm usually the person peeling or cleaning," Dr. Oz says. Vegetarian food has a reputation for being bland—more good for you than just plain good. But in the Oz household, the emphasis is squarely on taste. Lisa is liberal in her use of aromatics like onions, shallots, scallions, and garlic, along with olive oil, herbs, and spices, which enable her to make delicious vegetarian dishes ("without using a ton of salt," as Dr. Oz points out). And most of her recipes—like quinoa with zucchini and herbs, and Turkish-style eggs scrambled with tomatoes and red peppers—don't require a lot of prep time. While he and his family are vegetarians at home, Dr. Oz does occasionally eat fish and meat. He loves what he describes as "undercooked" fish and admits to a weakness for barbecued ribs—perhaps because he grew up on meat and potatoes. Lisa, on the other hand, became a vegetarian when her mother brought home Frances Moore Lappé's classic 1971 book Diet for a Small Planet and announced that henceforth meat would no longer be served in their home. Lisa runs her household pretty much the same way, and she makes sure her dishes are delicious enough that the family doesn't miss meat. "You have to massage the kale," she says, demonstrating at the 12-foot-long kitchen island how to make her vitamin-packed, no-cook salad. "Put the lemon juice and salt on and really rub it in. That's what makes the leaves tender." Advertisement

Video Games Are Worse Than Guns Now

pick up hockey. borrow pads. good times.
Actually, the comparison is night and day.
Ask anyone who plays both. It's the entire reason I've never bothered to play roller in goal.
It might as well be a different position or sport all together.
Mind you, I am not trying to downplay being a roller goalie, Im sure there are a host of issues (heat for one) that you guys have to deal with that I never will.
the mobility, is entirely different.
Your entire previous post is downplaying it. Especially the part about you never bothering. Im not completely foreign to ice hockey. As a matter of fact, I did that first. The differences in mobility (to me, anyway) had more to do with the slide that ice provides that a roller surface does not and compensating for that. The actual change in mobility due to skating was no more or less for me than what skaters have described going back and forth from ice.
It's whatever, though. We get it. LeatherMFFace is too good for roller. Get in line with the other L3375 paying $20 a head for pickup with ****tards like LATeddy. I'll stick to my $5-10 roller game where everyone skates their fill and leave you with this.
ok, thanks.
Yeah, I can feel it now. You're brooding about your righteousness over a vat of sweet cream Coldstone ice cream.
Im 18 minutes away from a cakenshake. I'll take pictures for you.
Sidenote: I think this is my new signature.
Anyone else think Rue has seemed on edge lately?
More so than normal, I mean.

Cold Weather Tips
Jack Frost is really trippin'. I live in Buffalo, NY and even I think it is cold. Do you have a checklist for what to do when it's chilly? Ok, it's more than a little chilly in the northeast and around the country. The Big Chill is on. With temperatures below freezing and often in the single digits you need to know what to do to stay healthy and warm. Serious health problems can result from prolonged exposure to the cold.
Children, the elderly and those with heart disease are at special risk. Body temperature that is too low can affect the brain and heart function. When exposed to cold temperatures, your body begins to lose heat faster than it can be produced which can result in hypothermia or abnormally low body temperature. So, what's a mom to do when kids are begging to make snow angels, Dad wants to go to the game and you just want to get out and do some retail therapy?
Combat the cold with this easy checklist:
- Dress in layers so you can adjust to changing conditions. You also form a protective insulation from the air that is trapped in between layers.
- Most of your body heat is lost through your head so wear a hat, preferably one that covers your ears which are particularly prone to frostbite.
- Mittens provide more warmth to your hands than gloves.
- Wear waterproof, insulated boots to help avoid hypothermia or frostbite by keeping your feet warm and dry and to maintain your footing in ice and snow.
- If possible, avoid being outside in the coldest part of the day, or for extended periods of time in extreme cold weather.
- Take frequent breaks and stay hydrated.
- Get out of wet clothes immediately and warm the core body temperature with a blanket or warm fluids like hot cider or soup.
- Cover your mouth as this will protect your lungs from extremely cold air.. Do this especially if you are prone to upper respiratory problems.
- Avoid Alcohol. When you consume alcohol you may initially feel warm. This is because alcohol dilates blood vessels. However, it then draws heat away from your vital organs. Increased heat loss enhances your odds of experiencing a hypothermic event.

Five essential Android apps for concertgoers
Summer concert tours are in full swing and we've got a list of five essential Android apps for the avid concertgoer.
School's out for summer, which means barbecues, swimming pools, and summer concert tours from many of your favorite bands. There's nothing quite like the experience of live music, so in this post, we've put together a list of five essential Android apps for concertgoers.
Find concerts
Don't miss shows from your favorite bands because you didn't know they were in town. Gigbeat is a nice music listing app that can scan your Last.fm, Rdio, and Songkick accounts, to come up with a list of your favorite artists to track. You can also have it scan local music files on your
Android phone or just enter the artists in manually. Gigbeat can notify you of upcoming events and new tour dates, based on your location. If Gigbeat doesn't meet your fancy, also take a look at Gigbox, Songkick, and Bandsintown.
Get tickets
Get your concert tickets, no matter where you are. Ticketmaster's app lets you browse events in your area and by venue, then purchase tickets, right from your Android phone. If you prefer buying your tickets through StubHub, they've got an Android app as well.
Interact at the show
With an app called Crowdstream, you can interact with other fans at the show. After you check in, you can view a stream of photos and comments from other fans at the concert. What's even cooler is, if the band has signed up to use Crowdstream, they can interact with fans during the show too. Sign up for a free Crowdstream account or use your Facebook login to use Crowdstream.
Get out your lighter
The BIC concert lighter app lets you carry a virtual lighter in your pocket, so you won't be caught without a lighter during the band's signature ballad. You can choose from a variety of designs, then when you're ready, just flick your BIC to light it.
That's it. Who are you excited to see in concert this summer? Let us know in the comments below.

Welcome to Truth Community Fellowship
Truth Community Fellowship is a group of like-minded believers in Jesus Christ committed to clear Bible exposition in the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area. We believe Christ builds His church when we honor His authority by teaching the Bible to His people (Matthew 28:18-20). Our simple motto reflects our purpose: "Teaching God's People God's Word"—and we're excited about it!
Our view of Scripture shapes our approach to Sunday worship. Our services feature rich hymns of the faith and extended Bible teaching. We believe God strengthens His people, gives them joy, and ultimately reaches the lost with the gospel as we join together and take His Word and our eternal hope in Christ seriously.
It's not complicated.
We just go back to the Bible.
If that stirs your heart, come visit us. You might find a home at Truth Community Fellowship. We love Christ, we love each other, and we always have room for one more. You'll find a warm welcome from all of us.
Feel free to approach us during a Sunday visit or drop a note. We meet each Sunday at 9 am in Legacy Hall at the Creation Museum.
God bless you with His grace and peace.

Stopped by OD and checked out the laptop, seemed OK. Unfortunately, moments before I was to be rung up it was decided that all the laptops had been put on hold by customers calling ahead, so no laptop for me.
Funny thing on the laptop, it has a dedicated button by the power button, apparently for the purpose of doing factory restores. Kind of disconcerting that the laptop should have a dedicated button just for factory restores, and placed right next to the power button. |
I managed to score the laptop but they only had the display unit so i got that. They did have the box, battery & manual (still in the plastic) and charger. I noticed the display unit didn't have the win8 cdkey attached to the laptop. How would I get that. I know there are software tools to get key from OS but if I sell this down the road or reinstall OS, I would need the key.
would exchanging it with another store be a potential solution? |
Sure do feel for all you guys having problems. Luckily my Indiana store is pretty good about actually wanting to HELP the customer be happy! �Every government interference in the economy consists of giving an unearned benefit, extorted by force, to some men at the expense of others.� Ayn Rand

Nope, i was told it was a fcc thing with the antenna by lenovo support. They said I could buy a new card (and loose my grandfathered plan by I digress) from lenovo for 200 bucks. I paid 12 bucks for the one I already have. For me, back to the store it went.
Funny isn't it? they will "hold" the pc for a "online" someone with no deposit and rip it from the hands of a paying customer. I see it as a big fail. you want to "hold" it for pickup. pay for it. Last edited by merkurfan; 02-21-2013 at 11:14 AM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |

My story today:
Ask the wife to pick up another laptop for a co-worker since it was on her back from shopping. I had checked just before she went and the system showed two in stock(one on display and one NIB). She calls me and said that they told her that they didn't have any in stock. I checked the online inventory and it still showed that two was in stock. I called and ask to see if they had Item # 983842 in stock then got put on hold. The female employee comes back and tells me that they're out of those. I requested to see if they have a display model on the floor cause I just check the online inventory and it showed 2 avaiable. She puts me on hold and then the manager came into play. He tells me this: "Was that your wife that came in earlier. I'm sorry that your wife was mistakenly misinformed but we do have one available for purchase but if you're going to use the Staples $75 coupon then it has to have a different bar code. We cannot honor that coupon if it has the same bar code." The information I got from this call was: 1. They lied to my wife 2. They lied to me 3. The manager knew well that all the coupons would have the same bar code that's why he had used that excuse 4. Most likely someone in the store is trying to hold onto that laptop and purchase it later with the coupon. I chated online with Kaden who was very professional and offered to help me. Kaden stated that he/she will email me a OD $75 computer/laptop coupon without any restrictions and will send a mandatory request for the store to reserved the laptop in my name. I should be getting the OD $75 coupon by email in a couple of hours and call to verify that the reserved laptop is ready for pickup. Last edited by bean373; 02-21-2013 at 11:42 AM.. |
Once i got back to work, i did an online chat and supposedly someone's gonna contact me to rectify the situation, but we'll see. I may just check another store after work, and then return this one later. |
I just came back from OD down the street from my work. Since it was only 2 miles away - I thought I'd give it a try but I got shut down fast. The guy already had to turn down a few people before me and said they will not honor because Staples do not have the G580 in stock and they stand firm on their policy. He also refuted the discount by saying that by taking the -140 discount over the -75 discount from Staples I am getting the better deal. Spoke to another lady who said that there was one guy who got away with it before they "caught on". Looks like the early birds were getting the deal and now that they are catching on, they are quick with the refusal.
