TOP FOUR 2011 and 2012 individual company producers
Michelle utilizes over twenty years of experience in residential and commercial real estate to provide her clients with investment expertise and a thorough knowledge of the real estate market. Her loyal clientele values her responsiveness, strong work ethic and keen negotiating skills, which have set her apart in the industry and distinguished her as a consistent company top producer.
Although Dallas has experienced a tumultuous real estate market over the last several years, Michelle has continued to consistently sell her clients' homes for premium prices, and within a shorter period of time than other competing properties. She believes that market presentation and pricing are the two most important factors in selling a home in today's market, and she attributes her success rate to the trust her clients place in her pricing and marketing recommendations.
Entering the residential real estate market in 2004, Michelle has worked for several top Dallas firms, earning accolades as "Rookie of the Year" in her first year, and by 2010, she was recognized as the companywide top producer. In 2010, she was also awarded the ultimate production honor of being inducted in the Hall of Fame for having closed production in excess of $100,000,000 in sales during her tenure. Since joining Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International in 2011, Michelle has been among the top four individual producers each year, and is currently projecting record performance for 2013.
Michelle attended Southern Methodist University, receiving a Bachelor's of Business Administration in Accounting with emphasis in Finance. She is married to a native Dallasite, and has three children. She resides in the Park Cities and has been extremely active in her community, her children's schools - Hockaday, St. Mark's, and McCulloch Middle School, and in service organizations such as Preservation Dallas, Park Cities Historic and Preservation Society, the Rise School of Dallas, and Cheers for Charity. This community involvement keeps Michelle in touch with her clients on a personal level, and gives her the ability to guide these clients as they make other decisions associated with purchasing a home, such as schools, children and family programs, and other neighborhood amenities.
Michelle's areas of expertise include, but are not limited to, Park Cities, Preston Hollow, Turtle Creek/Uptown, Greenway Parks, Bluffview and Devonshire.

So I thought I needed to come up with a badass name that had to do with killing all my friends. It has two meanings. In the fact that I kill everyone calmly and quietly. Just kill them and went on about my business. It also was a play on words as in I kill Calmness itself. Everyone is just hanging out and peaceful until I show up and it gets crazy.

ChoicePoint to pay $275,000 in latest data breach
ChoicePoint, one of the nation's largest data brokers, has been fined $275,000 by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission for a data breach that exposed personal information of 13,750 people last year.
In April 2008, ChoicePoint turned off a key electronic security tool that it used to monitor access to one of its databases and failed to notice the problem for four months, according to an FTC statement.
During that period, unauthorized searches were conducted for 30 days on a ChoicePoint database that contained Social Security numbers and other sensitive information, the FTC said.

A few minutes in timePosted Thursday, May 1, 2008, at 4:27 PM
Has there ever a few minutes earlier in your life that you have recalled many times?
A few of those minutes I've recalled often took place the day I was honorably discharged from the U.S. Navy. About 30 minutes prior to receiving our discharge papers and returning to civilian life, the 40 or so of us being charged were called out to stand in ranks. They had us do an about face while five guys being dishonorably discharged were walked, certainly not marched, by guards to the main gate. They cursed all of us as they went by us. A few minutes later I walked out that gate and into civilian life. Two of those dishonorably discharged were standing outside the gate. "What the h--- are we supposed to do now?," one of them asked me. "I have no idea," I replied and went on my way. Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] That's right, Bo. You had no idea, because you didn't choose to end your service in the same manner. I don't know about in your day, but when I was in, you had to screw up in a major way to get an actual dishonorable discharge. The vast majority of the negative discharges were "bad-conduct" or "other then honorable". I was in the Navy twice ('88-'92 and '01-'05) and I've only known two people that were dishonorably discharged. One was a pedophile and the other was a cocaine dealer. In my opinion, both certainly deserved it. Both were allowed to walk into civilian life, but they were allowed to walk into a federal prison beforehand (actually, they may still be there as far as I know). -- Posted by Thom on Thu, May 1, 2008, at 5:17 PM
Yes When I was about 14.I was lying in bed that night.I kept hearing this moaning sound.Finally I got up to see what was going on,my neighbors house was on fire.He was about 60 he was hanging out the window.Another neighbor came over and we pulled him out,but it was too late for his sister.I just keep wondering if I had responded sooner, if it would have made difference. -- Posted by sand-flea on Thu, May 1, 2008, at 7:13 PM
There was a night somewhere in Texas, perhaps about 100 miles from the Arkansas line, I've recalled many times. After the South Pacific and California it was a great early October night. As I walked into a small restaurant for a real Texas barbecue sandwich and a cup of coffee, I could see the lights of a football field in the distance and even hear the crowd. There was a smell in the breeze where someone has burned fallen leaves. A few leaves were still on the trees and what I call a light high wind (you can see it high in the trees but can't feel it near the ground) was blowing. A very friendly guy who served my sandwich and coffee, noted the town practically closed up when the high school football team was playing and the people flooded the restaurants after the game. Although I still had a way to go to before reaching Tennessee, it was practically a few welcome home moments. -- Posted by bomelson on Sat, May 3, 2008, at 2:33 PM

Valero Energy Corp. introduced a new hydrocracking facility for its Port Arthur refinery during a business luncheon Tuesday.
The $1.5 billion project has been in the works since 2006 and will finally be ready for full service in December.
Hydrocracking is the process of breaking down petroleum molecules by adding hydrogen under high-pressure conditions.
The expansion was put on hold due to the economy in 2009, according to John Wallace, director of major projects for Valero Port Arthur Refinery.
"It was a big shock to the project managers," Wallace said.
Now complete, the expansion will allow the facility to produce an additional 50,000 barrels of fuel a day, Wallace said.
The facility has created 25 permanent jobs, according to Wallace, not including all the workers needed for construction in the past several years.
"We're expecting it to have a big impact to our facility," Wallace said. "We could not have executed this project without the help of a lot of folks who are in this room."
Valero spent $551 million at companies in Jefferson County constructing the project, Wallace said, and $1.4 million in adjacent cities.
"We're real fortunate to have some capable people here in Port Arthur to help us out," he said.
The project used 7,000 tons of steel, more than 400 pieces of new equipment, 90 feet of piping, and 2.4 million lineal feet of wiring.
"That's enough cable to get to San Antonio and back," Wallace said.
The Greater Port Arthur Chamber of Commerce hosted the luncheon at the Holiday Inn express on Jimmy Johnson Boulevard.
Two Port Arthur city council members, the city manager, and Mayor Deloris "Bobby" Prince were in attendance. Prince thanks the chamber and all who ere involved in the process.
"What we do is try to promote one another," she said.

Red Hat Expands Developer Offerings with JBoss Developer Studio
Red Hat today announced the global availability of JBoss Developer Studio, the first open source, Eclipse-based, integrated development environment combining tooling with runtime. JBoss Developer Studio provides a simple, powerful and easy-to-use solution for developers utilizing JBoss Enterprise Middleware. The solution provides a stable end-to-end, lifecycle environment for application development and deployment, enabling enterprises to respond more quickly and efficiently to rapidly changing business requirements.
JBoss Developer Studio eliminates the need to assemble individual development environments, allowing developers and IT departments to utilize the complete solution from JBoss in one easily delivered installation. Featuring pre-integrated tools and out-of-the-box capabilities, the solution leverages the high-calibre Eclipse-based developer tools that were first made available as open source software on JBoss.org. Since its initial beta release in August, there have been over 100,000 downloads of the test builds for Developer Studio, serving as a clear indicator of the developer community's interest in an open source and friction-free development platform for developing their applications.
"JBoss Developer Studio makes open source middleware software easy to consume, maintain, use and support in cross-platform development environments," said Craig Muzilla, vice president, Middleware Business at Red Hat. "This solution will appeal to developers, while more effectively ensuring that enterprises can develop software better and faster, and with greater confidence. We believe Developer Studio will accelerate the use of open source software around the globe and throughout enterprises."
JBoss Developer Studio incorporates Eclipse tooling, integrated JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, and also comes with Red Hat Enterprise Linux for development use and full access to Red Hat Network. Developer Studio also features tooling for technologies, including Java EE, JBoss Seam and Ajax, Hibernate and Persistence, JBoss jBPM, Struts and Spring IDE. The combination of these components provides developers with a stable solution that offers matched tooling, easy upgrades and the same runtime environment in development as in production.

Hey Peeps... :D
Some of you may know me from the other UK surf forums, I've been looking over the forum here for a while since it was set up recently. Anyway I've decided to intoruce myself now because i've started the research into my comming university dissertation.
I'll be looking into sewage disposal in coastal areas about how it affects the surfing community and their surfing habits. (specifially focusing on Woolacombe and Cryode Bay.)
I've been a sponger for over 8 years now and captain of the Surf team here at Bangor University, so surfing is very important to me. I've personally had many experences of foul water and its effects on Britains so called "Clean" Beaches hence why i've chosen this as my dissertation topic.
Anyway, you'll see me around here a little more often over the next few weeks and hopefully at some point over the summer I'll have a questionaire finilised of which I would be very glad if you could all fill out for me :)

That study found 684 excess lung cancer deaths in Appalachia during those years. Most of those, the study said, were the result of other factors like smoking. After adjusting for those factors, the study still found 144 excess deaths over the five-year period, or about 29 per year.
Later this spring, another paper by Hendryx in the new journal Environmental Justice will examine total excess deaths from all causes in coal-mining counties in Appalachia.
After adjusting for other possible factors, coal-mining counties experienced 1,607 excess deaths during a six-year period between 1999 and 2004, Hendryx said. That amounts to about 268 excess deaths per year, he said.
"The incidence of mortality has been consistently higher in coal-mining areas for as long as the Centers for Disease Control rates are available, back to 1979," Hendryx said.
So far, Hendryx's work does not make a direct link between coal industry pollution and the increased illnesses. His studies have not yet examined specific emissions figures, or tried to conduct detailed reviews of how residents might be exposed to such pollution.
More research is needed on such matters, Hendryx said, but possibilities include exposure to coal byproducts such as slurry leaching into drinking water or air pollution effects from mining and coal processing.
But public health officials say that simply comparing the illness data for coal counties to non-coal counties provides a start for more in-depth examination of residents' concerns.
"This kind of study has value, because of its exploratory nature," said Celeste Monforton, a former federal mine regulator who teaches and studies public health at George Washington University. "Interested researchers can take the data and add data of their own and try to figure out what's going on."
In West Virginia, officials from the state Bureau for Public Health referred questions to agency epidemiologist Loretta Haddy, who did not return phone calls or e-mail messages on Tuesday.
Stephanie Timmermeyer, secretary of the state Department of Environmental Protection, wanted more time to review the study before commenting on it, said DEP spokeswoman Kathy Cosco.
State and national coal industry officials said they would review the studies.
"We need to find out the basis for it, and what's behind it all," said Bill Raney, West Virginia Coal Association president.
Hendryx said while coal is a major economic player in the state, the impacts of mining on communities should not be forgotten.
"I think we have to be honest about the effects of coal on communities and not just pretend these things don't exist," he said.

All the real fans shall post here in this thread....and yes I would agree the D as a whole looked pretty good, considering it was week ONE, there only gonna get better.
Same goes for the offense. Running game is always slow to start, but Cam looked pretty good minus the O line being a disaster. Oline is the main thing that needs to improve right now...

Pretty obvious he had talent when on the field, but that was a rarity. Everyone should be able to figure out why we just traded him. Rivera tried to get his act together and it didn't happen, for whatever reason. Otah was dead weight, even when coach Ron called him out nothing changed with him. So the dead weight was "cut loose." It's a statement to what's being built in Carolina, and the type of coach we have (it's a good thing.)

Officials: Statue of Liberty storm damage will take month to assess
National Park Service staff walk along Liberty Island, Statue of Liberty National Monument, after Hurricane Sandy in this NPS handout photo taken in New York on Nov. 2. Within a month, the National Parks Service expects to know the total costs and the time it will take to repair hurricane damage to New York's Liberty and Ellis Islands. (REUTERS)
NEW YORK - The National Park Service expects to know within a month the total cost and time it will take to repair storm damage to Liberty and Ellis Islands and to reopen the Statue of Liberty to tourists, a spokesman said on Monday.
The statue was not damaged by superstorm Sandy, but Liberty Island sustained significant infrastructure damage that will delay the monument's re-opening indefinitely, said Mark Litterst, a Park Service spokesman.
"It was quite a shock to see the extent of the damage," Litterst said.
Officials said Ellis Island's invaluable cache of historical documents and records was not harmed by the storm.
Power was restored to Liberty Island on Saturday night, but its main administration building, which houses the park's mechanical systems, sustained severe damage from four feet of flood water, Litterst said.
Liberty Island's dock, where tourists arrive by ferry from Manhattan's Battery Park and New Jersey's Liberty State Park, also sustained significant damage and may need to be rebuilt.
"The walkway just got lifted off the pilings and shifted off its support," Litterst said. "We may be able to repair the dock if it's still structurally sound, but if not it will have to be replaced, and that's a longer process."
The 305-foot monument, which the park service says can sway up to 3 inches in winds of 50 mph, was closed to visitors for a year during an extensive renovation. It had only been open for six hours last month when Sandy roared into New York Harbor.
More than 300 members of the National Park Service's incident response team are assessing damage to 15 national parks sites in Sandy's path.
"When asked to respond to a place like the Statue of Liberty, we drop everything and go," said Litterst. "We're as anxious as anybody to find out how long it will take to get it fixed up and open its doors again to the American public."

Toledo Police are on the scene of an accident involving a Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority bus and a tow truck.
The accident happened around 5 p.m. Friday at the intersection of Central Avenue and Talmadge Road in Toledo.
Police say the tow truck hit the back of the bus. Then the TARTA bus driver slammed on the breaks and the truck hit the bus again, according to Police. Three passengers on the bus complained of neck and back pain and were taken to an area hospital. No other injuries were reported.
Several people are being taken from the TARTA bus and appear to be injured. The intersection is open but traffic is backed up due to the accident.

Sperm Maturation
Council researchers are working to identify the switch that activates sperm so that it can be turned on in infertile men and turned off when contraception is desired.
Figure 1. The epididymis is shown in red.
Figure 2. Diagram depicting the redistribution of two hypothetical proteins (yellow and blue) into either the anterior head domain (AHD) or the posterior head domain (PHD) that occurs as sperm pass through the epididymis.
When sperm leave the testis, they can neither swim nor fertilize an egg. However, they acquire these abilities during their transit through the epididymis, the organ through which they pass immediately after leaving the testis (Figure 1).
The Population Council conducts research on how sperm become activated within the epididymis. If scientists can understand how the activator switch gets turned on in the epididymis, they may be able to turn it back off or prevent it from being turned on at all. This would result in a male contraceptive that would allow for normal ejaculation but with infertile sperm. There are several advantages to this approach: production of hundreds of millions of sperm would not have to be blocked, the sperm would simply be inactivated; manipulation of hormone levels within men would not be required; and the method would be relatively quick and reversible.
Sperm not only encounter a number of environments in the male reproductive tract, they also are exposed to a host of environments in the female reproductive tract. In order to function in these different environments, they have developed the ability to segregate proteins into distinct membrane domains. However, if sperm were unable to maintain this segregation, or if they mistargeted their proteins to incorrect domains, they would not function properly, and infertility would be the result.
During epididymal passage, this dramatic polarization takes place: Many proteins found over the entire head of the sperm when just out of the testis segregate into the anterior head domain (AHD) or the posterior head domain (PHD) (Figure 2). Population Council scientists have identified the discrete region (segments II–IV in Figure 1) of the epididymis where this polarization takes place and hypothesize that the triggering event may be the action of one or more proteases acting on the surface of the sperm.
In vitro studies support this hypothesis, because if the protease trypsin is added to testicular sperm it will induce the surface to undergo polarization that mimics what is seen in vivo. Council staff members have also shown that there is an active protease(s) within the discrete area of the epididymis where surface redistribution occurs, and that it directly works on at least one of the proteins (fertilin) that undergoes polarization into the PHD. The researchers are interested in identifying this protease to test whether it is indeed responsible for initiating the reorganization of the sperm proteins.
Moving proteins into a specific domain is only the first step in polarization; retaining the proteins within the domain is the next. Keeping proteins polarized to a specific membrane domain can be accomplished by two methods: proteins can be immobilized within the membrane so that they physically cannot diffuse away, or barriers at the domain boundaries can prevent the proteins from leaving the area. Barriers at the domain boundaries could range from physical blockades, such as tightly clustered proteins, to thermodynamically unfavorable conditions.
Anchoring the proteins could be accomplished by any of three basic mechanisms: (1) an interaction with the cytoskeleton; (2) an interaction with an extracellular matrix; or (3) an alteration of the fluidity of the lipid bilayer so that proteins could not diffuse. Population Council scientists are investigating the anchoring mechanisms used by various proteins on the sperm surface to understand this process. Unlocking the mechanisms that initiate the polarization of the sperm surface and that ensure the retention of sperm within the domain once segregated there should help in understanding problems of infertility. This knowledge should also allow researchers to identify targets of action for a new generation of male contraceptives.
Former Council senior scientist Gary Hunnicutt was the lead researcher on this project from 2002 to 2009. In 2010, senior scientist Patricia Morris took over responsibility.

Maryland tops the nation in student improvement, making it a trendsetter for the rest of the country, according to a Harvard University study released Monday.
"If the United States had moved at the same rate as Maryland, it would have been moving at the same rate as some of the fastest-improving countries in the world," said Paul Peterson, one of three authors on the study produced by Harvard's Program on Education Policy and Governance and the journal Education Next. "We certainly could have made some serious strides in the U.S., as other world leaders have been."
Average math, science and reading test scores of fourth- and eighth-grade students in Maryland improved by an average of 3.33 percent each year from 1992 to 2011, the study found. The progress vaulted Maryland's average test score rank from 26th in 1992 to fifth in 2011, out of 41 states. Virginia scores improved by 2.64 percent per year, placing the commonwealth's growth rate at 10th. Virginia's average scores moved from 18th to ninth during the same period.

Annual rate of growth in student achievement in math, reading and science, 1992 to 2011 | ||
Growth rate | Rank | |
Maryland | 3.33% | 1st |
Florida | 3.23% | 2nd |
Delaware | 3.22% | 3rd |
Massachusetts | 3.10% | 4th |
Louisiana | 2.83% | 5th |
South Carolina | 2.83% | 6th |
New Jersey | 2.72% | 7th |
Kentucky | 2.66% | 8th |
Arkansas | 2.65% | 9th |
Virginia | 2.64% | 10th |
Nation | 1.57% | 25th (of 49 countries) |
Though some states had low scores in 1992 and big average gains, and vice versa, the study attributes just one-quarter of the rankings to that pattern. Massachusetts students went from among the nation's highest average scores in 1992 to the top scores in 2011 while maintaining an improvement rate that outpaced most states'.
The District was not included in the study, and nine states were excluded because they did not participate in national tests until 2002.
The United States' average annual improvement rate is nearly 1.6 percent and ranks 25th, just behind Iran, out of 49 countries. Latvia ranks first, with Chile, Brazil, Portugal and Hong Kong rounding out the top five.
Bill Reinhard, Maryland State Department of Education spokesman, said state lawmakers have been dedicated to funding education.
"There hasn't been a lot of political meddling in education reform -- it's been left up to educators," he said. "Those same politicians have provided Maryland schools with really strong funding."
Maryland, ranked the top state for education by Education Week four years in a row, has a law that requires school systems to maintain per-pupil funding each year.
The report notes that simply throwing money at education doesn't always work. New York and West Virginia are cited as two states that dramatically increased education spending with "marginal" improvements to show for it.
Reinhard said consistency is key.
"It can't be a flavor of the month when it comes to education improvement," he said.
Across the Potomac, Virginia Department of Education spokesman Charles Pyle said the state's higher performance over the rest of the country "is not surprising." But he acknowledged the state still has room to grow and would likely do so, as Virginia has started implementing higher standards for state-level math, science, reading and history tests.
"This report confirms something we are certainly aware of -- and that is that we need to do better," Pyle said.
But can Maryland continue its pace of improvement?
"That is anyone's guess," Peterson said.
Roxanne Turnbull contributed to this report.

Nordstrom, Inc. is an American upscale fashion retailer, founded by John W. Nordstrom and Carl F. Wallin and headquartered in Seattle, Washington. The company began as a shoe retailer, and has since expanded their inventory to include clothing, accessories, handbags, jewelry, cosmetics, and fragrances. Select Nordstrom stores also have wedding and home furnishing departments. There are 260 stores operating in 35 states, which includes 117 Full-Line stores and 140 Nordstrom Racks. The company has announced plans to open five stores in Canada beginning in 2014,[6] as well as its first namesake in New York City in 2018.[7] Nationally, Nordstrom competes with luxury retailers Bloomingdales, Lord & Taylor, Neiman Marcus, and Saks Fifth Avenue. Of those competitors, Nordstrom has both the largest number of store locations and the largest geographic footprint.
As of 2012, it is the fifth-largest U.S. department store company by retail sales and is the thirty-fourth largest retailer in the United States in 2013 in terms of revenue.[8] [9]
Early history[edit]
In 1887, at the age of 16, like many other Swedes in the late 19th century, John W. Nordstrom immigrated to the United States in search of opportunity. He was born in the village of Ale, close to Luleå in Northern Sweden. His name at birth was "Johan Nordström" which he later anglicized to John Nordstrom. After landing in New York, he first worked in Michigan. After working a series of menial jobs as he moved across the country, he saved enough money to purchase a 20-acre (81,000 m2) potato farm in Arlington, Washington, close to Seattle. In 1897, he joined the Klondike Gold Rush in Canada's Yukon Territory, leaving Seattle with countless others. After two years of prospecting and doing whatever it took to continue, he finally struck gold, but sold his disputed claim for $13,000.[10] Returning to Seattle with his newfound wealth, he married Hilda Carlson and looked for a business venture, finally settling on a shoe store that opened in 1901, called Wallin & Nordstrom. Carl F. Wallin, the co-founder of the store, was the owner of the adjacent shoe repair shop. John and Hilda had five children, three of whom followed him into the family business, Everett W.(1903), Elmer J.(1904) and Lloyd N. Nordstrom. By the time Wallin & Nordstrom opened their second store in Seattle in 1923, Elmer who recently graduated from the University of Washington had already had enough hands-on experience to be put in charge of its opening.
In 1928, John W. Nordstrom retired and sold his shares to two of his sons, Everett and Elmer. In 1929, Wallin also retired and sold his shares to them. The 1930 grand opening of the remodeled Second Avenue store marked the change of name to Nordstrom. Lloyd Nordstrom subsequently joined the company in 1933, and the three brothers ran the business together for almost forty years.
By 1958, Nordstrom had expanded to eight stores in two states but still only sold shoes. Their expansion was based on customer service, deep product offerings and full size ranges. Apparel came with its purchase of Best Apparel of Seattle in 1963. The company's name was changed to Nordstrom Best in 1969.
By 1968, the second generation debated selling the company as Everett neared retirement. Instead, they were convinced by the third generation Nordstroms—Bruce A. (Everett's son), James F. and John N. (Elmer's two sons), together with John A. (Jack) MacMillan (married to Lloyd's daughter) -- to take the company public instead, and allow the cousins to take over the business. In 1971, the company was taken public on NASDAQ under the ticker NOBE (Nordstrom Best). In 1973, "Best" was dropped from the company's name, and the store assumed its current name of Nordstrom.[11] It was moved to the New York Stock Exchange in 1999 under the ticker symbol JWN after John W. Nordstrom, its founder.
By 1975, Nordstrom expanded into Alaska (the only time by acquisition) by purchasing Northern Commercial Company and opened its first Nordstrom Rack clearance store in Seattle. A strong northwest regional retailer with sales already approaching $250 million (making it the third-largest specialty retailer in the U.S.), it opened its first Southern California store at Costa Mesa in 1978. By the early 1990s, it had opened 26 stores plus Racks in California. Subsequent expansion relied on creating a strongly decentralized regional structure, beginning with the Northeast (Tysons Corner Center, 1988), Midwest (Oakbrook Center, 1991), Southeast (Atlanta, 1998), and Southwest (Dallas, 1996) to which the California stores were added. In a new region, the initial store was used as a base for training and recruitment for subsequent expansion, and was usually backed by its own distribution center. From 1978 to 1995, Nordstrom opened a total of 46 full-line department stores.[12]
In 1976, Nordstrom opened a series of stores called Place Two to sell a more limited selection of apparel in smaller markets. By 1983, there were ten Place Two stores, but the cost of upgrading the smaller stores, especially from a systems perspective, outweighed the benefit, and the division was discontinued.[13] The company also expanded into direct sales in 1993, beginning with a catalog division[14] led by John N.'s son Dan that was followed by an e-commerce business. Nordstrom.com's fulfillment and contact centers are located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Seattle, Washington. Currently, it has distribution centers in Ontario, California, Portland, Oregon, Dubuque, Iowa, Upper Marlboro, Maryland and Gainesville, Florida.
Nordstrom FSB, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nordstrom, Inc., is a federally chartered savings bank doing business as Nordstrom Bank. It was formed in 1991 in Scottsdale, Arizona, with its customer contact center in Englewood, Colorado. Nordstrom FSB was formerly known as Nordstrom National Credit Bank and changed its name to Nordstrom FSB in March 2000. The bank offers various banking and credit products, such as Nordstrom Signature VISA, Nordstrom retail credit and debit cards, interest-bearing checking accounts, check cards, and certificates of deposits. It offers Nordstrom customers cards under Nordstrom Fashion Rewards - its customer loyalty program - where customers earn points when making purchases with the card at Nordstrom and other retailers. Other rewards include Nordstrom Notes which are redeemed or used like cash in stores for new purchases and the Nordstrom Signature VISA card also has an optional travel/leisure rewards feature. The Fashion Rewards program features 4 levels of status depending on annual spending and offers various promotional times throughout the year to earn double, triple and even ten-times points.[15][16]
Beginning in 1995, the fourth generation of brothers and cousins served as co-presidents for a time. After John Whitacre served as the first non-Nordstrom CEO in 1997,[17] in 2001 the family reasserted its control, with the sons of Bruce A. (Blake, Erik and Peter) assuming senior roles in the company which they continue to hold.[18]
In 1998, Nordstrom replaced its downtown Seattle store with a new flagship location in the former Frederick & Nelson building across the street. At 383,000 square feet (35,600 m2), the downtown Seattle location is the chain's largest store. By contrast, the smallest Nordstrom store (as of September 2008) opened in 1980 in Salem, Oregon and has a total area of just under 72,000 square feet (6,700 m2).
As the stores expanded in size, restaurants were added beginning in 1979, reaching their peak with the then-largest (and most expensive) Westfield San Francisco Centre California flagship store that opened in 1989, that included no fewer than four restaurants as well as an English pub.[19] Recently, the "Espresso Bar" from older stores has been discontinued and re-introduced as the "eBar" with offering a variety of quick-fix snacks, and an expanded "hotbar" drink list. Smaller stores (mostly consisting of two-stories) now have an "in-House Cafe," which offers the same menu but with seating. Nordstrom has also revised its four restaurants (found in select stores), the casual "Classic Cafe" and "Marketplace Cafe," the "Cafe Bistro" specializing in brick oven entrees and the "Nordstrom Grill" offering food and alcoholic beverages. The Nordstrom restaurants have similar menus and offer different specials daily. The restaurants offer beer and wine.
Nordstrom sold its stand-alone boutique chain Façonnable in 2007 though it still offers that label in its lineup.
In February 2011, Nordstrom announced the acquisition of HauteLook, an LA-based online retailer that offers flash sales on designer goods. The deal includes Nordstrom paying $180 million in stock and a three-year "earn-out" payment based on HauteLook's financial performance.[20]
On May 26, 2011, Nordstrom announced that they will be closing the downtown Indianapolis, Indiana Circle Center Mall location due to declining business at Downtown site. The remaining location on the north side of the city at the Fashion Mall at Keystone as well as the future Nordstrom Rack store in the Rivers Edge Shopping Center, also on the north side, will remain as the only two locations in the state. Erik Nordstrom, president of stores at Nordstrom stated, "We've enjoyed serving our customers in downtown Indianapolis, but unfortunately our business has declined over the long term for some time and despite our efforts to turn things around we don't see the outlook significantly changing."[21]
In August 2011, Nordstrom opened the store Treasure & Bond in SoHo, New York. Intended to test the waters of the tumultuos high-end department store scene in New York, all profits of Treasure & Bond will be donated to charity. The customer base of the smaller store is thought to be the younger, more free-willed sister of the typical Nordstrom customer.[22]
March 22, 2012, City Creek Center opened up in Downtown Salt Lake City, with a new Nordstrom anchor store. The store features a light feature on the west façade adjacent to Temple Square (as seen in the picture on the right). City Creek Center's only other anchor is Macy's.
During this same time Nordstrom also announced plans to open a Nordstrom Rack in Milwaukee in 2014.[23] In late November 2012, Nordstrom announced that they will also be opening a full line Nordstrom Department Store in 2015 in Milwaukee at Mayfair Mall two blocks north of the proposed Nordstrom Rack location. This is one of the few full line, new store openings Nordstrom has scheduled. Milwaukee is the largest metropolitan area in the country that does not have a Nordstrom. Such unmet demand was highlighted in Nordstrom's decision to open in the Milwaukee area [24]
On January 4, 2013 Nordstrom confirmed a new location in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan region. To be located at the Ridgedale Center it will be the second in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area. Following the success of its Mall of America opening in 1991, Nordstrom has sought to expand in the Twin Cities market.[25] Plans were originally made in 2007 to open at Ridgedale Center in 2011, only to be canceled in 2009.[26] The current announcement is for an opening in Fall, 2015.
On October 1, 2013 Nordstrom announced that it would be opening a new Rack location in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the fall of 2014. This will be the first Rack in the city of brotherly love. [27] Following the success of their full-line Christiana Mall location, Nordstrom announced on February 5, 2014 that they will be opening their first Rack store in Delaware, scheduled for a fall 2015 opening. [28]
Expansion into Canada[edit]
Nordstrom officially announced its expansion to Canada on September 13, 2012, announcing the opening of 4 locations in some of the most successful shopping malls in Canada; Pacific Centre in Vancouver, Chinook Centre in Calgary, Ottawa's Rideau Centre, and Toronto's Sherway Gardens, all owned by Cadillac Fairview. The first three will be in former Sears locations, the result of a 170 million dollar buyout to vacate the sites, and the fourth store is to be a new build in.
On April 8, 2013, Nordstrom announced a fifth Canadian location at Toronto's Yorkdale Shopping Centre.[29]
On January 15, 2014, a sixth location was announced for the Toronto Eaton Centre, replacing a flagship Sears location that is closing in February.[30]
The Canadian stores are set to open in fall 2014 (Calgary), spring 2015 (Ottawa), fall 2015 (Vancouver), and fall 2016 (Toronto).[31]
Nordstrom traditionally only holds five designated sale events each year. Four of these are Half-Yearly sales, which take place semi-annually and are split up by department. For women and kids, the Half-Yearly sales take place in May and November. The Men's Half-Yearly sales occur in mid-June and late December.
Nordstrom's largest sale event is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, which is held each July.[32] Limited amounts of merchandise set to be released for the following fall is sent to Nordstrom stores early, where it is sold at a large discount. For ten days prior to Anniversary Sale, Nordstrom rewards members are able to make appointments with sales associates to shop the sale early through the store's Early Access event. Shoppers also get double points on their Nordstrom card purchases throughout early access and the first weekend of the Anniversary Sale.
Employee handbook[edit]
For many years, new employees were given a copy of the Nordstrom's Employee Handbook – a single 5-by-8-inch (130 mm × 200 mm) gray card containing 75 words:[33]
Welcome to Nordstrom
We're glad to have you with our Company. Our number one goal is to provide outstanding customer service. Set both your personal and professional goals high. We have great confidence in your ability to achieve them.
Nordstrom Rules: Rule #1: Use best judgment in all situations. There will be no additional rules.
Please feel free to ask your department manager, store manager, or division general manager any question at any time.
Today, new hire orientations provide reading only the words "use good judgment," supplemented by handbook of other general legal regulations and company expectations. However, using one's best judgment remains Nordstrom employees' number one policy in all aspects of the job.
Nordstrom was listed at No. 72 in Fortune magazine's 100 Best Companies to Work For 2009.[34] (Nordstrom is a Hall of Fame member of Fortune magazine's "100 Best Companies to Work For" list.[35]) Nordstrom was No. 36 on the same list in 2008, No. 24 in 2007, No. 46 in 2006 and No. 88 in 2005.[36] In 2010, it ranked number 53, and dropped to 61 in 2012.[37]
Nordstrom was ranked No. 286 (previously 293) on the Fortune 500 for 2007.[38] In 2011 it ranked 254,[39] and as of 2012 it sits at 242.[40]
As of December 2013, WWD reports that Nordstrom is the top fashion retailer.[41]

Motorola seeks to hire up to 300 Google Android developers
Palm may not have much of an appetite for Google's Android platform for mobile phones, but Motorola definitely does.
Reports in Top Tech News and elsewhere suggest that Motorola is looking to hire hundreds of Google Android developers. Indeed, a quick search of Motorola's job openings suggests that, indeed, Android is set to become a permanent fixture at Motorola, which has long built Linux-based phones but hitherto used MontaVista's Mobilinux.
The goal? Move from an internal development pool of 50 Android-savvy developers to 350.

Stop the closure of Co Op St Anns
The closure of the Co-Op store will have a huge impact on the local community, which would be left without a supermarket.
The closure will mean the loss of jobs and will impact those who are less mobile and unable to travel elsewhere to shop.
Co-Op's last-minute decision to pull out of St Anns comes despite the Council's effort, even offering them the premises rent free, but they refused to negotiate.
Despite Co-Op's supposed social conscience, they are leaving our community without a supermarket. The store is due to close on November 17th.

I'm writing an Ubuntu Touch application in QML. I'd like to integrate with Trello. There are two ways to log into Trello in the API, one of which is OAuth, which I plan on using. What is the best way to do this from QML? I'd prefer not to use a C++ backend, but I am willing to do so if that is the only way.
You could create an account plugin for Trello, so that a Trello account could be created from the "Online Account" panel in the System Settings. The you could use the Ubuntu.OnlineAccounts QML module to login, like this:
This code will get you the OAuth token. In order to create the account in the first place, you need to create the following files:
Given that Trello uses OAuth 1.0 like Flickr and twitter, just create the above files using the twitter or flickr version as a template, and modify them as needed (for the .service file, you could use
And of course, change the other fields (callback URL, client ID and secret) to match those you set when you registered your app with Trello. If all goes well, you'll be able to create a Trello account from the "Online Accounts" panel in the System Settings. |

All markers aren't the same. Different markers are appropriate for different uses, and certain people prefer different kinds of markers. That's why Sam's Club offers chisel tip markers, dry erase markers, fine permanent markers, even retractable markers. You'll find markers of different sizes and colors as well, from the traditional black to standard colors and even fluorescents.
Whatever markers you choose, when you choose Sam's Club, you know you're choosing high quality and low prices. That means your markers will be bright enough to get everyone's attention, and are designed not to smudge or smear. If you order permanent markers, your markings won't come off, and if you order erasable marker, it won't come off until you're ready to take it off. And of course, at Sam's Club prices, you can afford to really stock up, and you won't have to worry about how fast you go through them.
So if you've got a ton of almost dead markers collecting dust in your office, or you're stuck using chalk or a pen when a marker is really what you need, why not shop for markers at Sam's Club? Find the markers you need today and have a complete set when you need them most. And you might want to get a few to have around the house when you need them, too.
