Macroeconomic Fundamentals, Price Discovery and Volatility Dynamics in Emerging Markets
AbstractThis study characterizes volatility dynamics in external emerging bond markets and examines how prices and volatility respond to news about macroeconomic fundamentals. As in mature bond markets, macroeconomic surprises in external emerging bond markets are found to a¤ect both conditional returns and volatility, with the e¤ects on volatility being more pronounced and longer lasting than those on prices. Yet the process of information absorption tends to be more drawn out than in mature bond markets. International and regional macroeconomic news is at least as important as local news for both asset valuations and volatility dynamics in external emerging bond markets.

All it really took was one quote about Cloud Nothings' new album, Attack on Memory, that made me realize I'd probably dig it. Explaining the album's title, Dylan Baldi (who helms the group) told one publication that it "is basically referencing the current trend toward hazy, electronic-y nostalgic music that is making up the 'indie' scene. I don't really like that kind of music. This album is meant to place us more firmly outside of that category." The quote didn't speak to me because I hate chillwave music (I listen to, and enjoy, plenty of hazy electronic-y music) but because I'd long thought Baldi just needed to strip away one layer of Cloud Nothings' lo-fi, and dare I say, 'nostalgic' production values before he could record a truly great album, and with Attack on Memory, he certainly has.
I hadn't considered myself a fan of the band prior to Attack on Memory, but I was familiar with the back story. 18 year-old wunderkind has an array of MySpace accounts where he uploads lo-fi pop music, and eventually, increasingly larger record labels take notice of the one labeled Cloud Nothings. Some of Baldi's songs had wandered into my consciousness, and from what I'd heard, it sounded like infectious, yet innocuous bedroom punk. "Understand at All" and "Should Have" from last year's self-titled release got lodged in my brain, but they hardly seemed like the kind of meat-and-potatoes rock songs you could live off of. As more details about Attack on Memory came to light (Steve Albini production, a 9 minute song on a record that is barely half an hour long, screaming) I became worried that this would be a classic case of my expectations exceeding the final product, but judging from my repeated plays of the album, it's somehow surpassed them.
Last night at the Crocodile I wasn't too concerned with how the new songs would translate to a live setting; It's no-bullshit-gives-you-a-bloody-nose-guitar-rock, what better way to experience it than live? Upon taking the stage, Baldi and company quickly played two songs from the new record that sound most like his earlier work, almost as if to get them out of the way. "Stay Useless" and "Fall In," with their catchy melodies, nonetheless have an edge to them that's heard across the album; a vague yet beleaguered attitude toward both the past and the future, and feeling that even as Baldi is miserable in the present, he's also reveling in it. There aren't any marked condemnations of electronic music, despite the aforementioned quote about the album's title (for that, you should listen to Sleater-Kinney's fuck-off to Interpol, "Entertain"), but by the song "Cut You," the catalyst for this appears to be a former significant other who's since moved on, with its lyrics "Is he gonna work out/Can he be as mean as me?" and "I miss you 'cause I like damage/I need something I can hurt."
The band eventually played through the entire album. Baldi's amp broke early on in the set, and dealing with a replacement amp seemed to frustrate him the entire night as he frequently shrugged at his band members upon various songs' conclusions. The highlight was hearing the 9 minute long song, "Wasted Days," performed live. In my current state, in a post-collegiate year, having gone from working 3 jobs to now doing 2 part-time ones, and where my definition of a productive day-off is not eating any ice cream and only watching 3 episodes of Twin Peaks, I found particular catharsis in yelling "I thought/I would/Be more/Than this" along with Baldi. In recent press Baldi says the band is already at work on new songs that are weirder, stranger, and louder. Count me in for the next time Cloud Nothings roll into town.

It might be the most brilliant line of questioning of 2013 ... a TMZ photog went face-to-face with Jesse Jackson Jr. and demanded to know why he blew his stolen campaign money on a Michael Jackson fedora ... AND NOT A MICHAEL JACKSON GLOVE???
And then the follow up ... DID YOU AT LEAST GET TO WEAR THE FEDORA?
Of course, JJJ just plead guilty to fraud ... after stealing $750,000 from his campaign to support a lavish, over-the-top lifestyle. Jesse admitted he spent the cash on things like fur capes, a mounted elk head, and a fedora once owned by Michael Jackson.
Jesse was out in D.C. yesterday, so we figured it was finally time to get some answers to the important questions. You gotta see this ...
Nice hack job TMZ. You neglect to mention, as the whole MSM does, that he is a DEMOCRAT from ILLINOIS just like You-Know-Who. Had he been a GOP, Im sure it would be mentioned everywhere.
If JJJr.'s wife pleaded guilty to tax fraud, assuming they filed joint returns, wouldn't he also be guilty of tax fraud?
He's getting away with a slap on the wrist. He is guilty of failing to report income, fraud, felony theft/stealing, and he should have to do time and pay restitution. I'm betting he gets probation and a fine and will get to keep his substantial Congressional pension and benefits. Just by staying in the race, winning it despite being under investigation, then immediately resigning, he scored another two years of pension.
He's a consummate crook, just like his dad.
If they can send Blagojevich up the river for trying to sell a Senate seat, they better send this guy to Chicago's finest penitentiary as well.
What's the difference between Jr and Sr? Junior got caught.
At least he admits he's a crook unlike his father...
Strange how I didn't hear about this on NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, New York Times...
Remember when Bill Clinton cheated on his wife with Lewinsky? Jesse Jackson said he would be Clinton's spiritual advisor. Well Jesse had a baby with another woman and has no moral compass himself, and he was going to help Clinton? The son seems to be the same sociopath, people put their trust in him and he pays them back by stealing their money and buying ridiculous stuff that would make even Nicolas Cage scratch his head. Let him and his low life wife rot in prison!
For Gosh Sakes TMZ... Stop buggin' this guy !
Lying piece of ghetto trash. He has done nothing for us honest Americans except steal and cheat every minute of his useless life. Just like his mumbling father. You can take that to the bank!!!!!!!!1
Hey Harvey ... Just saw you on Fox Chicago. I agree that what JJJr did is totally s***my and other descriptive words. Don't worry about offending some Chicagoans or Chicago area folks with your comments. He and his wife's antics have forced a special election thus costing Illinois taxpayers more and more $$
He should have taken a page out of his old mans playbook. You don't STEAL money. You EXTORT it. What a maroon.
Just like his ex con daddy who has privately held "shake down" meetings with companies for YEARS threatening to protest and yell "racism' unless they donate or whatever to his Coalition. BTW, just WHERE does Jesse Jackson have a church since he is a "reverend?\" They must pay well for him to own his $800 suits.
FUR CAPES?????.....LMFAO!!!....what a loser
Photographer asking the questions should have finished it up by doing a dance spin and asking him..."Who's bad?!"
Chicago has a history of crooked politicians and practically all have been democrats not to say republicans are much better. But they will keep electing the same *******s over and over.

Analysing the professional sport experience: A hierarchical approach
AbstractStrategically managing spectator perceptions of service quality and understanding how these perceptions affect value, satisfaction and behavioural intentions is very important if sports organisations are going to succeed in today's competitive entertainment environment. As a response to variations in the service quality dimensions found in previous sport and leisure studies, outcome focused sport satisfaction and process-dominant service quality factors are integrated with higher order attitudinal and behavioural constructs to develop a hierarchical model of the professional sport experience. Eleven first-order sub-dimensions are present in the hierarchical factor structure. The study's findings also support inclusion of the second-order primary dimensions of service quality: interaction quality, physical environment quality and outcome quality. Fanship (enduring involvement), service quality, value, satisfaction and behavioural intentions are found to be positively related. The third-order hierarchical model significantly improves on the explanatory power of previous service quality and sport spectator satisfaction models.

- Hillary Clinton Breaks Silence on Ferguson, Says America Is 'Better Than That'
By Jennifer Odell
Was Elisabeth Hasselbeck's apology to Erin Andrews regarding her skimpy "DWTS" outfits heartfelt or simply prodded out of her by Barbara Walter?
PopEater is reporting that Wednesday's on-air apology may have been an idea masterminded by Walters, who thought it was likely to be "ratings gold."
"Barbara thought it would be a good idea to have Elisabeth apologize on air," an insider tells the Web site. "No one is more professional than Barbara, and since the comment was made on 'The View,' the apology should also be made on 'The View.' Plus, all this drama is great for ratings."
RELATED VIDEO: Hasselbeck's teary apology
On Tuesday's episode of "The View," Hasselbeck suggested that the man convicted of stalking Andrews could have seen more skin had he waited to check out her sexy outfits on "Dancing With The Stars."
Her comments sparked some major Twitter backlash, inciting the wrath of Andrews' "Dancing" partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, among others.
RELATED: Which other stars aren't playing nice?
Andrews reacted in tears, telling Access Hollywood: "I think people can have opinions about the show, but my biggest complaint is she's a woman and a mother and it was a mockery of something I've lived through this last year ... I felt like it was a slap in the face for victims of stalkers and victims of sexual predators."
In the wake of the negative press, Hasselbeck lunged for some brownie points from her mostly female demographic, invoking the help of her 5-year-old, whom she claimed suggested an apology was in order.
"[My daughter is] so cute. She said to me, 'Mommy, why don't you just call Erin and tell her you're sorry?'" Hasselbeck recounted on Wednesday's show. "So, thankfully, I listened to her — she's a wise little girl — and I did. I'm really sorry, and I wanted to offer that publicly too, even though I did follow that advice."

this guy was watching the vmas with me and now he's educating himself how precious is that
he keeps asking me all these questions about aspects of feminism and he's like "so basically it's about letting women do what they want without being judged for it" and I was like yea and he was like "oh okay that's so simple why isn't everyone a feminist" it's precious

The community in Ferguson is struggling to come up with the money to keep their kids fed, since school has been cancelled all this time, yet people have donated over $12,000 to the murderer who started all of this in the last 24 hours alone. Think about that. And then donate to the right cause.
This is Duolingo, a language-learning website/app that deserves some serious recognition. It offers over 10 languages for English speakers, as well as courses for non-English speakers around the world, and they're in the process of adding more.
But wait, I don't want to do any more schoolwork! Not to worry little one, Duolingo is actually more like a game. You can compete with friends, and earn "lingots" (which are basically Duolingo money) to buy power-ups, extra activities, and bonus skills - like Flirting.
I'm already taking a language, what do I need this for?
It's not really a secret that most school language courses (in America, anyway) suck and only teach you to speak the language at about a third grader's level. Which is why Duolingo is so freaking awesome.
Teachers can't give every student individualized attention, but Duolingo can. If you're not learning the way you want to or as much as you want to in the classroom, Duolingo is a really great resource. It's easy, tailored to you, and really effective.
Duolingo tracks your progress and reminds you when you haven't studied for a while or need a refresher on something. Already semi-fluent in a language? No problem, just take a shortcut to more advanced subjects or test out of the lesson.
The lessons start with the basics (he, she, hello, thank you, etc) and move up to harder stuff. Duolingo focuses on vocabulary first, so you can learn the language and then the grammar that goes with it - much simpler than the system most schools use. It also tracks the number of words you've learned and how well you know them.
And you don't even have to write out the flashcards!
Duolingo is perfect for reviewing everything you forgot over the summer or giving you the extra help you need. And if you're trying to learn a language on your own, it's fantastic - you don't have to create your own lessons. Whether you're trying to learn your second, third, or fifth language, I seriously recommend Duolingo.
Okay, what else?
Duolingo also has discussion boards, where you can ask for help with a hard lesson, make new friends, watch for updates, and share your achievements.
Even better is the Immersion feature. It won't send you to Spain or France, but it's pretty awesome. Duolingo takes real articles from the internet, which users translate. You can translate articles from your native language into the language you're learning or vice versa, which gives you more experience and makes the Internet more universal.
You can suggest new languages and track Duolingo's progress in creating new courses. Bilinguals (older than 13) can help to create these courses. Duolingo has a long list of courses that can be contributed to, like Punjabi, Hebrew, and Vietnamese. Oh, and Dothraki, Klingon, Sindarin, and Esperanto.
And the best part? IT'S COMPLETELY FREE.
If you love languages or just want to pass French class this year, USE DUOLINGO. Download the app and practice a language while you wait for the bus instead of playing Angry Birds!

Overpass Light Brigade in Milwaukee
The ABC7 I-Team is uncovering thousands of pieces of military equipment meant for the battlefield that are instead now in the hands of local police forces statewide.
From high powered military grade rifles to combat helicopters, law enforcement agencies statewide are cashing in on a federal program that provides battle-ready equipment to agencies in your backyard. For the past two decades, Illinois officials have used the Federal Law Enforcement Support Office or LESO 1033 program to outfit law enforcement departments with the latest in military grade equipment and technology. Distribution of weapons as part of the program has come under new scrutiny after the widespread utilization of military grade equipment this week to counter protests in Ferguson, Missouri after a police officer shot and killed teenager Michael Brown there this past weekend.
As the I-Team first reported in 2013, the LESO 1033 program has given away at least $2.6 billion dollars in surplus military equipment nationwide, with at least $37 million ending up here in Illinois.
Now, the I-Team has uncovered a county by county breakdown of exactly what military equipment is here in Illinois. Federal officials refused to release what specific department possesses the equipment, citing homeland security concerns. But, a federal spreadsheet obtained by the I-Team following our initial reporting does detail the kinds of equipment local departments have received as of May 2013.
According to federal records, Illinois law enforcement agencies have received roughly 5,500 rifles and pistols,16 military helicopters and more than 12,000 pieces of assorted military equipment as part of the program. Knox County, west of Peoria, received the most non-weapon military equipment statewide. Knox County agencies' inventories include more than 1,900 pieces of equipment, from Kevlar combat gloves to paintball guns to combat knives. Cook County is in second place statewide with 1,700 pieces of military equipment registered with the feds.
Weapons distributed are counted separately in federal LESO 1033 program inventories provided to the I-Team. Cook County leads the state with 1,336 weapons assigned to county law enforcement agencies. Downstate Sangamon county has 794 weapons assigned to agencies headquartered there. Interestingly, Knox County, the leader in equipment statewide, only has 15 weapons assigned to their countywide agencies.
"You can't arm police departments with military-grade equipment and expect them not to behave like an occupying force," says local watchdog Rey Lopez-Calderon with Common Cause Illinois. He continues, "the Ferguson madness can happen anywhere in the USA including Illinois."
People look down on McDonald's employees but fail to realize that if all these folks left McDonald's and pursued "better careers" your ass wouldn't be able to get a McDouble with an Oreo McFlurry at 3am.

Are you able to complete the Downstream measurement if you do it a couple times or does it continually fail?
Do any of your logs show error rates?
so far no continually gives me high packet loss

You can also try »myspeed.visualware.com. Try the QUALITY test, which gives numbers on packet loss and other numbers. Java is required to run the tests.
ok it's running
This one was to Virginia»mcssjc.visualware.com/myspeed/db···=1573457
I would call Comcast & get them to check your provisioning. Those results are wacky.What do you get just testing with Comcast's server?
Gone through that, even a level 2 tech said all if fine but it's not. One thing that is weird is when I go to comcast.net and log in it shows my package as 50 but my bill says 105. 3 hours on the phone and all I get was everything looks fine. Yea right!
anyone know if there is a firmware problem maybe with the 3008
when I go to comcast.net and log in it shows my package as 50 but my bill says 105

Your test from Virginia also showed the Upload greater than Download.
Yep and upload seems to be fine. Trying to sync from github has gone from a few mins to hours...Streaming from my slingbox is fine.
Now my speed tests have dropped in half. Any reason for this?
downstream has high packet loss.
Posted in direct but no one has even looked at the post...»/r3/smokepi···8f1b29abthere is are problems that comcast seems to be ignoring. Have a friend in Jacksonville Fl have the same issues.
Comcast Direct is pretty bad now, don't count on much. ComcastSteve was the best I've seen who used to be there, then ComcastVic who was okay, and now they put ComcastRios there, who is kind of a joke...The twitter ComcastCares is a bit better, so I'd try that first.
I'm having the same issue, had 2 truck rolls and no result. Had Lvl 2 take a look they say there's nothing wrong and im the crazy one. It is bad during the day and super worse at night. High packet loss, high ping (80ms+ to servers less than 10 miles away) and low upload less than 1 mb (supposed to be 10). They said they'll get someone to come check the pole and outside lines, but its killing my connection. Not happy right now. Cant game, cant even voice chat with friends, cant stream without crippling everyone on my network. no results, no advice, no support and its a "deal with it" attitude.Heres a example of what I'm dealing with»www.speedtest.net/result/3313748838.pngAlso this is the ping test

Rural kids, parents angry about Labor Dept. rule banning farm choresSubmitted by shrader on Wed, 04/25/2012 - 02:59
The Department of Labor is poised to put the finishing touches on a rule that would apply child-labor laws to children working on family farms, prohibiting them from performing a list of jobs on their own families' land.

Get rid of the Dept. of Labor
"The new regulations, first proposed August 31 by Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, would also revoke the government's approval of safety training and certification taught by independent groups like 4-H and FFA, replacing them instead with a 90-hour federal government training course."
Apparently this Hilda Solis chick can make law without having to get it through congress. Wonder how many other awful regulations we could get rid of by just disposing of the enforcing departments.
Communists shills are everywhere.
Congress has been doing this to us forever. It's time for it to stop.
Repeal the Civil Service Act of 1883. It was the beginning of the end and totally unneeded, while proven to be destructive to our lives and liberties.

I wonder how much more HEARTBREAKING it is to watch 12 - 13 year old children you have seen grow up since babies have their little lives hurt by being given alcohol and drugs, encouraged by CRIMINAL GANGSTERS POSING AS "ARTISTS" to push kids into a life of hurt and tears and...to sad to continue.
I am an artist. I don't find artists on MTV. Artists I know - friends- would take just about ANY OF THEM and slam them on the ground before one "song" is over. Even I can do that myself with most of them. Me and a "wanna-be-gangster-rapper":
Look kid: Can you play an instrument? NO. Can you sing? NO.
Then I have bad news for you: Your are not a "bad-ass". You don't scare me. I and any of my friends will DEMOLISH YOU ON ANY STAGE. Get off the alcohol and drugs and GO STUDY. Otherwise YOU WILL NEVER BE AN ARTIST. EVER. Say "Thank You" because I just did you a BIG-TIME FAVOR:
Someone is AT WAR against The United States and children are a target.

Yep; Alex Jones early last year warned that this was....
going to happen. I don't have the link, but I remember hearing him rant/speak about this coming. Well, his source was accurate. This is America, and mom, dad and the kids have always worked the land here!! WTF?? The "535" in DC are mocking the American way of life!
FARMAGEDDON presented by Kristin Marie Productions
The Unseen War On American Family Farms... You can find it on Alex Jones infowars.com
"An Eye-Popping Wake Up Call" -Kevin Thomas, The Los Angeles Times
"Americans' right to access fresh, healthy foods of their choice is under attack. Farmageddon tells the story of small family farms that were providing safe, healthy foods to their communities and were forced to stop, sometimes through violent action, by agents of misguided government bureaucracies, and seeks to figure out why..."
The why is Agenda 21, sponsored by the United Nations and NATO. The Attempt of the Globalists to regulate every aspect of human living in order to decrease our world population by about 6.5 billion, all under the hoax of saving our environment... It's time to fight back, don't let them enforce these rediculous rules. Use your 2nd Amendment rights if necessary. Our population is already decreasing at an increased rate due to the various "soft kill" programs these Eugenicists have been able to put in place. If you haven't already, go and watch "The Hunger Games" movie. This is basically what they have in store for us... Kill off most of us by controlling the food supply and poisoning us in the process. Then they round up whoever is still alive and turn us into slaves by imprisoning us into FEMA camps that they've secretly been building also possibly underground camps... Wonder why we've been hearing underground booms across the country??? They're ramping up the construction. They know we're catching on quicker than they expected because they haven't been able to shut off our internet yet... PIPA-failed, SOPA-failed, now CISPA???

this government is obscene
let's get rid of it
Where is the line?
So farm kids can't help with chores on the farm, farmers can't trap and domesticate and raise "feral" pigs. We're not allowed to drink or sell raw milk. States approve medicinal cannabis, but the feds come in and shut them down.
Heaven forbid you think you have the right to alternative health care or natural supplements.
Have kids? Well make sure they get injected with poisons from their very first day of life!
I won't even start about the TSA, the so-called patriot act and free speech zones.
How much will we take?

That's crazy. I grew up on a farm/ranch. I must have been all of 2 when I took on my first real chore. I loved visiting with the chickens and bringing the day's eggs in. Either the basket was big, or I was really small, but that thing would drag the ground all the way back to the house. hehe
When I got a little older, I'd help bring in the cattle in the afternoons, and help my grandfather feed them hay and mixed grains.
I could drive a combine when I was 10.
Most of the kids there grew up the same way. A bunch of very smart kids, loaded with common sense, high achievers, well mannered.
Again, the government is wrong.
RON PAUL 2012 * Restore America * Bring The Troops Home
I taught school for one year
I taught school for one year in the Uinta Mountains in Utah. Most of the people were dairy farmers. My fourth grade students would be up milking cows at 4:00 A.M. Those children were the most hard working and disciplined that I have ever taught. Wonderful children! There is a night and day difference between those students and the ones I have today.
the goal...
to attack the strength and ingenuity of the American male. To raise a nation of lazy, sissies.
"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." Benjamin Franklin
Now you have made me curious!
I am nearly 59 and a small woman. When I wanted to get my license to drive, my dad taught me how to change the oil in a car, taught me to drive in an old 4 speed chevy pick up, taught me how to change a tire and how to parallel park. Those were the requirements before he would let me have a driver's license. How many of you can do all those things? Or maybe I should ask how many younger men and women do you know that can do these things?

Analyst Blog
Amazon.com's (AMZN - Analyst Report) third quarter loss of 60 cents came in 52 cents higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Around 37 cents related to its share of losses in LivingSocial.
Similar to the technology companies Intel (INTC - Analyst Report), Microsoft (MSFT - Analyst Report), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD - Analyst Report), Yahoo (YHOO - Analyst Report), Texas Instruments (TXN - Analyst Report) and Corning (GLW - Analyst Report), Amazon shares started sliding prior to the earnings release, as investors remain bearish on the sector.
While Amazon's miss was huge, weak results were expected because of its investment focus. Therefore, shares were down just 1.0% in after-hours trading.
Amazon reported revenue of $13.81 billion, up 7.6% sequentially and 26.9% from the year-ago quarter. This was better than the guidance for the quarter of $12.9-14.3 billion billion (up 6.0% sequentially, or up 25.0% year over year at the mid-point) and more or less in-line with consensus expectations. Year-over-year revenue growth was 30% excluding unfavorable currency impact.
Around 57% of sales were generated in North America, representing a sequential increase of 7.6% and a year-over-year increase of 32.9%. The balance came from the International segment, which grew 7.5% sequentially and 19.8% year over year (27% excluding unfavorable currency impact).
Active customer accounts increased by 8 million to more than 188 million. Active seller accounts stayed above 2 million. Paid (third-party) units were 41% of total units in the third quarter, compared to 40% in the second quarter.
Key strategies for driving revenue growth remain a vast selection, competitive pricing, free shipping, user experience on Amazon properties and the Amazon Prime program. Fulfillment centers are also important, since they are essential for providing the level of customer service that Amazon customers have come to expect of the company. Over the past year, Amazon has been investing heavily in fulfillment and technology & content.
Segment Details
Amazon's North America Media business was up 18.2% sequentially and 14.9% from last year. The consumption of digital content across categories is helping the business. While selling and lending books on the Kindle platform continues, Amazon has is also developing its direct publishing business.
In addition to Kindle ebooks, Amazon is going great guns with its video content. Prime Instant Video has the broadest reach, across Kindles, Microsoft's Xbox 360, Sony's (SNE - Snapshot Report) Playstation 3, Apple's (AAPL) Mac or other PCs, as well as on TV. At the same time, titles were expanded to 30,000 movies and TV episodes in the last quarter. Amazon's reach and value proposition are making it a key player in the video distribution business, providing stiff competition to the likes of Netflix (NFLX - Analyst Report). The category saw strong double-digit growth in four of the last five quarters.
The Electronics and General Merchandise (EGM) business in North America was up 2.5% sequentially and 39.2% from last year. EGM is a more seasonal business with holiday-driven spending having a significant impact.
This seasonality has increased manifold since Amazon launched the Kindle platform. Therefore, year-over-year comparisons are more meaningful. We see very strong double-digit growth in each quarter since December 2009, which is indicative of the expansion in the market and Amazon's growing position within it.
Amazon's International media business (17% of total revenue) was up 6.2% sequentially and 7.1% year over year. EGM, which was around 25% of total revenue, grew 8.5% sequentially and 30.4% from last year. This seems to indicate a greater preference for purchasing electronics rather than content in international locations.
Once the electronics business gains momentum and Amazon has enough fulfillment centers set up, we expect further investment in content. In the last quarter, the company launched the Japanese Kindle Store amazon.co.jp, through which it will sell a collection of over a million books, including 50,000 books in the Japanese language.
At the same time, Cloud Player was launched in the U.K., Germany, France, Italy and Spain. Therefore, new product categories, better selection within categories, competitive prices and free shipping remain drivers.
The Other segment, while still small (not a significant percentage of total revenue) includes Amazon Web Services (AWS). Revenues from the segment followed similar patterns as the other two, declining sequentially and increasing year over year.
Gross Margin
The gross margin shrunk 81 bps sequentially and expanded 180 bps year over year to 25.3%. Sequential variations in gross margins are usually largely mix-related, although pricing is growing into an important factor given the increase in product categories all over the world.
The fact that new product launches come hand in hand with extra launch costs, is also a negative for the gross margin. Third party sites are also doing well, which has a positive impact.
Gross profit dollars were up 4.2% sequentially and 36.7% from last year, due to volume changes. The increase from last year is very encouraging, indicating that despite its market position, Amazon continues to grow without sacrificing margin. It also indicates that Amazon brings a value proposition for customers that make them stick with it.
Operating Metrics
Amazon's operating expenses of $3.52 billion were up 8.5% sequentially and 42.2% from the year-ago quarter. Amazon's heavy investing activities (headcount, fulfillment centers, content, etc) over the past few quarters have been driving up its costs.
Specifically, fulfillment, marketing, technology and content, and general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were up 63 bps, 51 bps, 156 bps and 6 bps, respectively from a year ago. Fulfillment and technology & content costs remain focus areas, so were also up on a sequential basis.
As a result, the operating margin of -0.2% was down 104 bps and 93 bps, respectively from the previous and year-ago quarters. The operating loss of $28 million was down significantly from profits of $107 million and $79 million in the previous and year-ago quarters, respectively.
The North America segment operating margin was down 100 bps sequentially and up 126 bps from the year-ago quarter. The International segment operating margin was down 129 bps sequentially and 334 bps from the year-ago quarter (a lot of the investment over the past year was in this segment).
EBITDA was $743 million, down 8.6% sequentially and up 48.3% from last year. The cash margin of 5.4% was down from 6.3% in the previous quarter and up from 4.6% in the year-ago quarter.
Net Income
Amazon generated third quarter net loss of $105 million, or a -0.8% net income margin, compared to profit of $7 million, or 0.1% in the previous quarter and of $63 million, or 0.6% net income margin in the same quarter last year. There were no one-time items in the last quarter. Therefore, the GAAP EPS was same as the pro forma EPS of -$0.23 compared to 2 cents and 14 cents in the previous and year-ago quarters, respectively.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Amazon ended with a cash and investments balance of $5.25 billion, up $278 million during the quarter. The company generated $943 million of cash from operations, spending $716 million on fixed assets (including internal-use software and website development costs), $37 million on acquisitions net of cash acquired and $144 million to pay down debt and long term obligations. There were no share repurchases in the last quarter.
Amazon saw inventories increase 15.6% sequentially, with turns declining from 8.7X to 8.1X. Receivables increased in the quarter, with DSOs increasing to nearly 16 days.
Management provided guidance for the fourth quarter of 2012. Accordingly, revenue is expected to come in at around $20.25-22.75 billion (up 55.7% sequentially, or up 23.3% year over year at the mid-point), below consensus expectations of $22.79 billion. Operating income/loss (including $290 million for stock based compensation and amortization of intangible assets) is expected to come in at approximately -$490 to $310 million.
Our Take
There was nothing new in Amazon's third quarter, so our thesis remains unchanged.
We continue to believe in Amazon's prospects, especially its platform approach (Kindle, Prime and the still small but growing AWS). We think that Amazon is performing true to form, continuing to grow revenue and generate very strong cash flow quarter upon quarter (discounting seasonal variations).
As such Amazon remains one of the leading players in the fast-growing ecommerce market. The increase in users, units and partners overall indicates that it is outgrowing the ecommerce market. We think that this has been possible in the past because of the broad selection, free shipping and user experience that Amazon has consistently provided. This has enabled the company to gain from the shift in offline to online consumption.
The Kindle platform will remain a major growth platform for Amazon. Despite the Mini from Apple, we think Amazon devices come with their own value proposition, so there will be many takers.
Amazon has the huge task of maintaining its U.S. market share and expanding globally. We expect share losses, but think that the market will expand fast enough for Amazon to maintain a solid growth rate. However, this is dependent on its own capacity to serve customers, especially in international markets, where growth rates are likely to be higher and its own facilities fewer.
As a result, both fulfillment and technology & content investments will likely continue to grow. We do not consider this negative, since differentiation among online retailers is very difficult and better experience and support are the things that can drive traffic.
While the increase in operating expenses is hurting the bottom line, we believe this is necessary. We expect the operating leverage to translate into accelerated growth in future quarters. However, the uncertainty regarding the timeline remains, which is the reason we remain Neutral on the shares.
Amazon shares currently carry a Zacks Rank of #3, which translates to a Hold recommendation in the short term (1-3 months).

On How Bookstores Survive
I have a non-NYC recommendation. I love this bookstore so much and if you are ever in Minneapolis, go to it. Even if you are not a kid.
Wild Rumpus is located in Linden Hills, which is a cute little neighborhood, south of the lakes. There's a big door for grown-ups and a tiny door for kids. Inside, there are great books, but also a veritable menagerie of animals. Cats, ferrets, mice, a tarantula named Thomas Jefferson and a bunch of chickens wandering around. The spider is not actually wandering around. The spider is located below a glass window on the floor of the bookstore so kids can walk over the spider. The cats are Manx, so no tails and also super friendly. Lots of comfy chairs, great author visits and best of all, it's next to some really terrific restaurants for people over the age of 12.
Thus ends my unsolicited testimonial for a children's bookstore in Minneapolis.

The dedication ceremony for the stone monument honoring Stephen Saxton, a 1998 graduate of Temecula Valley High School who was killed while serving in the U.S. Army in Iraq, is set for 3:15 p.m. on Wednesday May 14.
Saxton, a sergeant, grew up in Temecula and attended Vail Elementary, and both Temecula and Margarita middle schools before TVHS where he played football for four years.
Saxton died on May 3, 2005 when a roadside bomb ripped thought the Humvee in which he as traveling.
He was planning to return to the United States the following week to see his new daughter, who was just three weeks old, along with his wife Maegan and this other children who were two and four.
Saxton, who was just 24, is the only TVHS graduate to die while serving in either Iraq or Afghanistan.
The monument, which has been placed in front of the school's flagpole, was conceived by the long-time TVHS receptionist, now retired, Mary Boyce whose son graduated with Saxton.
Saxton's parents and other family members are expected to attend.
The public is invited to attend the ceremony. Organizers suggest that because school gets out at 2:30 p.m. it would be best from both a traffic and parking stand point to arrive at the campus, located on the corner of Margarita and Rancho Vista roads, no earlier than 2:45 p.m.
The eyes have it, and not just in Southwest Riverside County.
Minor League Baseball announced this week that the Lake Elsinore Storm once again in 2013 finished among the Top-25 teams nationally in merchandise sales.
Sales from the combined totals the 160 teams topped more than $55.4 million dollars last season, up 2.6 percent form the previous year.
The Storm, with its logo featuring those fierce, menacing eyes, was the only team in the California League to reach the Top-25
This is not new territory for the hometown boys.
Lake Elsinore has made the top tier of merchandise sales 16 times since Minor League Baseball started keeping track in 1993. Only the Durham Bulls and Portland Sea Dogs (21), Trenton Thunder (20) and Toledo Mud Hens (19) have made the list more times. The Lansing Lugnuts and Carolina Mudcats have also made the list 16 times.
Minor League baseball does not release merchandise sales dollar numbers for individual teams.
You don't have to go to the ball park to get the coolest minor league gear from across the land or right here in Riverside County.
Of the top 25 teams, 24 — including the Storm — use the MiLB platform to sell their gear. For both the top sellers and more than 100 other teams check out www.MiLB.com.
Finally, when you head down the driveway on Saturday morning to pick up your copy of the Press-Enterprise, be sure to take a bag, box or even a single can of non-perishable food with you and set it by your mail box.

Twenty businesses in Market Square in Woonsocket are searching for a new home after National Grid cut service to the old mill buildings for non payment of bills.
RiverzEdge Arts Project is one of the companies trying to figure out what to do. It has been without power for seven days.
"Unfortunately to us there was no warning," said Rebekah Greenwald Speck, executive director. "Right now we're primarily packing."
RiverzEdge paid its rent, but the company that owns the buildings did not.
The owner of the buildings, Marie Deschenes, purchased the former mill buildings in 2008 and has worked for the past eight years trying to create an "artist enclave."
Deschenes told NBC 10 she did get behind on the payments and she won't be able to let businesses operate until she makes some changes. She has to fix the electricity and the roof, and said it could take months.
Despite the news, not all business owners were angry.
"I don't really blame her. I think Marie has a lot of great ideas. She probably bit off more than she could chew. That's what it comes down to I think," said Marc Morelle of CCM Picture Frame and Gallery.
Morelle said he doesn't know where he'll go.
"I started March 1 and now I have to move out," he said.
RiverzEdge is hoping the city will let it move into one of its buildings. The group helps train young adults and provides art programs for local children.
The group said the shutdown will cost them an estimated $65,000.
