AURORA, Ill., April 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Old Second Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company" or "Old Second") (NASDAQ: OSBC), parent company of Old Second National Bank (the "Bank"), today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2014. The Company reported net income of $2.2 million for the first quarter 2014, compared to a net income of $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2013. The Company's net income available to common stockholders of $630,000 or $0.04 per diluted share, for the quarter, compared to a net income available to common stockholders of $4.2 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2013.
Chairman Bill Skoglund remarked "First quarter results reflect further measured progress on several key improvement objectives. Importantly, our loan portfolio shows a second consecutive quarterly increase while nonperforming assets declined since year end. Over the past year, OREO dropped sharply from $65.7 million at March 31, 2013, to $40.2 million at March 31, 2014. Over the same period, nonaccrual loans declined from $64.9 million to $36.7 million. Core profitability shows continued strength in an economy that continues to be uneven in its recovery. Capital ratios remain strong and in excess of goals established by our Board of Directors. Our community banking approach has been skillfully executed by our staff. Our loyal customers and the communities we serve have recognized and realized benefit from our services."
Mr. Skoglund continued "The Board and I are proud of Old Second and the great employees who do things every day to serve our customers and communities. We completed our public offering of common stock earlier this month and expect the proceeds will position Old Second for greater growth. The economy will continue to be challenging and our competitors are skillful but with additional capital, we are excited for 2014. We will continue to work hard to reduce problem assets. As business leader confidence grows with the recovery, we will also strive to grow loan earning assets with additional improvement in core profitability."
The public offering was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company's board of directors determined on April 3, 2014, that it was in the best interests of Company shareholders to sell common stock in the offering at $4.40 per share. Old Second completed the sale of 15,525,000 shares at this price. Net proceeds from the offering of over $64.0 million will be used to pay the accrued but unpaid interest on trust preferred securities, the accumulated but unpaid dividends on preferred stock and to repurchase certain shares of preferred stock. Remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
On April 21, 2014, the Company paid the accumulated unpaid interest on trust preferred securities and terminated the deferral period. The interest will not be immediately paid by the indenture trustees to the holders of such trust preferred securities. Instead, the indenture trustees will hold the interest payments in irrevocable deposit accounts. The interest will be paid by the trustees on the next applicable payment dates under the indentures to the holders of the securities on the record dates set forth in the appropriate indenture.
On April 15, 2014, the Company declared a dividend of approximately $15.8 million on its Series B Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Series B Stock") payable to Series B Stockholders of record on May 1, 2014, the dividend will be paid on May 15, 2014.
The Company is currently in the process of repurchasing some of the Series B Stock from certain holders under privately negotiated agreements. As previously disclosed, the repurchase price for such Series B Stock equals 94.75% of the liquidation value of the Series B Stock, or $947.50 per share, provided that the holders of shares enter into agreements to forbear payment of dividends due and to waive any rights to such dividend upon repurchase. The Company is also repurchasing all shares of Series B Stock held by officers and directors of the Company on the same terms. The Company will not pay any holder of the Series B Stock whose shares are being repurchased by the Company such holder's pro rata share of the declared dividend on the Series B Stock.
Financial Highlights/Overview
First quarter net income before taxes of $3.4 million compared to income before taxes of $5.5 million in the same quarter of 2013.
- Year over year net income before tax declined on reduced net interest income, a smaller loan loss reserve release, a decline in securities sales gain and sharply lower residential mortgage banking revenue. Reduced noninterest expense year over year in FDIC deposit insurance, general banking insurance and OREO valuation expenses provided benefit in 2014 compared to 2013. First quarter income before taxes improved from the $32,000 loss in the fourth quarter of 2013. Fourth quarter results reflect management action in December, 2013 after Volcker rule release leading to a $4.1 million loss on collateralized debt obligation ("CDO") sales.
- The tax-equivalent net interest margin was 3.13% during the first quarter of 2014 compared to 3.18% in the same quarter of 2013. The first quarter of 2014 margin was unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2013.
- Noninterest income of $6.3 million was $3.7 million lower for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to first quarter 2013. Operating categories were flat or down year over year, most notably residential mortgage banking revenue. First quarter 2013 results incorporate benefit from the clawback of restricted stock and securities sales gains not matched in any manner in first quarter 2014. On a linked quarter basis and excluding the loss on CDO sales recorded in 2013 fourth quarter, first quarter 2014 core noninterest income was lower than fourth quarter of 2013.
- Noninterest expenses of $17.5 million were 16.3% lower for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to 2013, reflecting overall expense control and reduced expenses in most categories. Occupancy expense increased $202,000 or 15.8% compared to first quarter 2013 on winter related expenses while advertising expenses are up $137,000 or 82.5%. Notable reductions are found in FDIC insurance expense, OREO expenses (primarily from sharply reduced valuation expense) and general bank insurance. All categories flat or down on a linked quarter comparison except occupancy expense on weather related expenses.
Capital Ratios Increased period end risk-based assets on higher loans, securities and changes in loan / securities portfolios composition toward higher risk weight instruments impact risk-based ratios.

Asset Quality & Earning Assets
- Nonperforming loans declined by $1.2 million during the first quarter of 2014 to $38.6 million at March 31, 2014, from $39.8 million at December 31, 2013. Nonperforming loan activity continued to reflect successful negotiations with guarantors, loan upgrades to accruing status and movement of selected credits to OREO.
- OREO declined from $41.5 million at December 31, 2013, to $40.2 million at March 31, 2014. OREO dispositions totaling $5.6 million in the first quarter 2014 were somewhat offset by new OREO of $4.7 million.
- Loans increased $10.0 million in the same period on continued realization of opportunities previously identified in the commercial lending pipeline development. Period end commercial loans and real estate commercial loans outstanding each grew in excess of 3% during the quarter.
- Securities held-to-maturity at amortized cost of $264.3 million at March 31, 2014, reflected one purchase in the quarter. The end of first quarter total compares to $256.6 million held-to-maturity at year end 2013. First quarter available-for-sale purchases included local school district tax anticipation warrants, corporate bonds and asset-backed investments backed by student loan obligations largely guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Education. The first quarter purchase made in the held-to-maturity portfolio was a collateralized mortgage obligation. First quarter sales were made from available-for-sale corporate bonds, asset-backed investments largely guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Education and collateralized mortgage obligations. Securities available-for-sale at fair value increased $28.0 million reflecting net purchase activity during the first quarter of 2014.
Non-GAAP Presentations: Management has traditionally disclosed certain non-GAAP ratios to evaluate and measure the Company's performance, including a net interest margin calculation. The net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income on a tax equivalent basis by average earning assets for the period. Management believes this measure provides investors with information regarding balance sheet profitability. Management also presents an efficiency ratio that is non-GAAP. The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing adjusted noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and adjusted noninterest income. Management believes this measure provides investors with information regarding the Company's operating efficiency and how management evaluates performance internally. Consistent with industry practice, management also disclosed the tangible common equity to tangible assets and the Tier 1 common equity to risk weighted assets in the discussion immediately above and in the following tables. The tables provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent.

Forward looking statements are identifiable by the inclusion of such qualifications as expects, intends, believes, may, likely or other indications that the particular statements are not based upon facts but are rather based upon the Company's beliefs as of the date of this release.

In its recent third quarter reporting, the company posted a 7% decrease in user engagement and a slide in growth of monthly active users: growth increased 23%, but that was down from 24% posted in the second quarter of 2014 and down from 38% reported in the third quarter of 2013. Consequently, Twitter's stock price has fallen in recent weeks, and the S&P downgraded Twitter's debt to junk status, describing the company's risk as significant. So, how did it come to this? Where did Twitter go wrong, and, more importantly, what can it do to right the ship and recruit new users?

In the digital world, consumers are always on and always connected, able to access information and share their experiences and opinions in real time, and can significantly influence brand opinion in an instant. To be successful in this customer-driven era, organizations– whatever they are selling –need to be able to consistently deliver compelling and engaging experiences that are consistent across both devices and channels.

Gourmet Hot Dogs — The New Girlby Lauren Miyashiro in Recipes, June 13th, 2013
I must confess: I've never been much of a hot dog person. At a tailgate or poolside, I'll happily indulge. But when scouring the Internet for new recipes, franks are not usually on my radar. At least, that used to be the case.
There has been a lot of buzz around hot dogs during the last couple years, and the momentum hasn't stopped. Not just for game day anymore, the popular American finger food has become trendy and edgy, pushing past traditional ketchup and mustard to embrace new and bolder toppings. Hot dogs are popping up on menus worldwide and taking over magazine spreads; the question is whether they're worth the hype. I may have been a skeptic before, but after making Brooklyn's Corniest Hot Dog, I am a firm believer. Corn and caramelized onions are a match made in heaven. Add bacon, and now we're really cooking. Needless to say, this recipe was a winner.
Grab a fork and knife, because you'll want to scoop up all of the overflowing toppings the bun couldn't handle. The corn and onion bring a hint of sweetness, while the hot sauce, cayenne and mustard add a kick to each bite. When it's time to assemble, consider layering the cheese first so it can melt slightly to become a lovely creamy base. Wary of squirting that bit of lime? Don't be. It adds a surprising freshness that makes this recipe top dog.

Excellent post, thanks New Girl!
Corn is largely GMO and best avoided.
Although I haven't been yet, I hear Chile has quite a noteworthy hot dog. Though, anytime mayonnaise is encouraged AND bacon isn't present, I take many steps back.

Oscars 2014 Predictions, Expert Opinions: Who Will Win Major Awards This Time?
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Gopi Chandra Kharel | February 27, 2014 10:32 PM EST
The Dolby Theater is set. The voting has finished. Important faces of the event are preparing speeches for the day. It is now the turn of the 86th Academy Awards to break the ice. This year's grand Oscars is all set to take place on 2 March.
Academy Awards/ Facebook Page
The Oscars
One question everyone is asking as usual is who all will win the awards this year. Though it is extremely difficult to say, we bring you the list of the most likely winners, based on expert opinions which have been doing rounds on the internet of late.
1. Best Picture
"12 Years aSlave": Most experts tend to believe that there is no other film as touching as this one. "12 Years is heart-wrenching, and at times unbearable watch. It is truth, it is history, and this is a year of volatile race relations in the United States - there isn't a better time to honor a film that so directly addresses the ugly reality of slavery," says Chris Jancelewicz, from the Huffington Post.
Garry Maddox of the Sydney Morning Herald agrees with this assessment. "The choice is really down to an emotional real-life drama about a man hijacked into slavery and a brilliantly inventive action movie set in space," he says.
However, Ramin Setoodeh and Jenelle Riley from Variety, feel that "Gravity" has the edge. "The movie that wins this award can't polarize audiences (which "12 Years" does). It needs to be mostly consistently liked, and "Gravity," which received 10 Oscar nominations, will receive a high ranking on most ballots," says Ramin.
2. Best Actor
Matthew McConaughey for "Dallas Buyers Club": There seems to be a general consensus for this choice. "He's taking serious roles and showing us all that he can play someone other than David Wooderson from "Dazed And Confused". Ejiofor and DiCaprio are runners-up in this race," says Jancelewicz.
"His performance is transformative, fierce and heartbreaking," says Riley.
3. Best Actress
Cate Blanchett for "Blue Jasmine": Even though this Woddy Allen movie has been relatively unknown, there is a general feeling that Blanchett will bag the award this time. "Can anyone beat Cate Blanchett ("Blue Jasmine") who has won every other award this year?" asks Maddox.
4. Best Director
Alfonso Cuaron for "Gravity": This white-knuckled, intense film is what many feel movies aspire to be. "The balled-up napkin in my clenched fist at the end of the movie is testament to the suspense generated on-screen," says Jancelewicz.
"While the technical aspects of "Gravity" are clearly remarkable, he [Cuaron] also draws great performances out of Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. And talk about range - the guy has made everything from the Spanish-language road trip indie "Y Tu Mama Tambien" to epics like "Children of Men" to the best "Harry Potter" in the series," remarks Riley.
Here are other favorite picks and predictions based on expert opinion in the other categories:
5. Best Supporting Actress: Jennifer Lawrence, "American Hustle"
6. Best Supporting Actor: Jared Leto, "Dallas Buyers Club"
7. Best Animated Feature: Frozen
8. Best Foreign Language Film: "The Great Beauty" (Italy)
9. Best Original Screenplay: Spike Jonze, "Her"
10. Best Cinematography: "Gravity" (R.S. and J.R)

J Pat Carter, Associated Press
Researchers have long been interested in communicating with different species of animals through technology. With developments in mobile devices such as iPads, comes an unexpected windfall in animal interaction and communication research.
Selling over 67 million iPads as of April 24, 2012, Apple's booming industry is branching out its audience to include more than just Homo sapiens. Apes and dolphins are among the various species to interact with iPads and there are even several iPad games designed specifically for pets.
Dolphins were the first zoological animal to be introduced to the iPad. Jack Kassewitz of SpeakDolphin works with Merlin, a Bottlenose Dolphin in aquatic communication research. Kassewitz has taught Merlin to touch photos of objects on the screen with his nose that correspond to the real objects he is shown.
"This is an easy task for a dolphin, but it is a necessary building block towards our goal of a complete language interface between humans and dolphins," Kassewitz said in a press release. After successful interactions with dolphins, apes were the next in line to play with this over-priced toy.
Orangutans at the Jungle Island zoological park in Miami are learning to communicate with their keepers by sounds, hand gestures and the iPad, said program director Linda Jacobs. After the trainer names an object, the Orangutans are able to identify it from various others on the screen and press the corresponding image. They also draw and play games on the iPad as part of a mental stimulus and enrichment program.
The younger Orangutans have picked up on the new form of communication, but the older ones don't seem interested. "I think they just figure, 'I've gotten along just fine in this world without this communication-skill here and the iPad, and I don't need a computer,'" Jacobs told Associated Press.
Birute Mary Galdikas, founder of the Orangutan Foundation International has studied Orangutans in the wild for more than four decades. "It's not surprising that Orangutans, who share 97 percent of their genetic material with humans, like (iPads), too," she said.
Similar research has been done with Bonobos using a touch screen computer called a Lexigram. Ken Schweller is the Buena Vista University professor working with the Bonobo Hope Great Ape Sanctuary to test Bonobos' communication skills.
Schweller has successfully taught seven Bonobos to recognize and associate words with pictures. One ape, Kanzi, knows about 500 Lexigram words while Tico, his son, uses an iPad. "For instance, if (the Bonobo) wants a ball, he will say he wants a ball and then he will get a ball," Schweller told Sioux City Journal.
iPads are being used for more than just entertainment or enrichment. "Apps For Apes" is a program being built by Richard Zimmerman, executive director of Orangutan Outreach, who plans to use donated iPads to connect Orangutans with family members in different zoos through video feed. Jahe, an Orangutan at the Memphis Zoo even appeared to recognize her relatives on the screen, Zimmerman told Yahoo News. "Given an opportunity to demonstrate that intelligence, it's pretty amazing."

Some developers believe that monitoring is a function of the operations team. Some operations teams firmly believe that monitoring the systems they maintain is sufficient to run the business successfully. Most of them are wrong. The complexity of today's applications have gone far and beyond the capabilities of "traditional" system-level monitoring tools and approaches and requires much broader knowledge of business and applications as a whole.

When an enterprise builds a hybrid IaaS cloud connecting its data center to one or more public clouds, security is often a major topic along with the other challenges involved. Security is closely intertwined with the networking choices made for the hybrid cloud. Traditional networking approaches for building a hybrid cloud try to kludge together the enterprise infrastructure with the public cloud. Consequently this approach requires risky, deep "surgery" including changes to firewalls, subnets...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric.

This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happe...

Dear Uhew,
I am writing you from the depths of a university computer lab. As you have probably noticed I have already had to delete one post and then go back and edit this one. This is due to the fact that at the moment, it is nearing 1 am my time and the only lab open is filled with bloody macintosh computers. Using this abomination of a contraption is both foreign and grotesque to me. Therefore, it is causing me to accidentally submit my posts when I did not intend to. I digress...
I have barely slept this weekend in anticipation of finals and other work I have due. I chose to spend tonight at school to be more productive. I awarded myself a short break to refresh my brain from working on a paper and this video of our earlier shenanigans was much needed. Thank you for posting.
Your Friend,

Jordan Henderson Rumors & News
- Height: 1.82m

The Liverpool Offside Nov 7, 2014
The Liverpool vice captain was glued to the bench during Tuesday's European match up against Real Madrid, but he's hoping that he'll get the nod on Saturday when Chelsea come to Anfield. Jordan Henderson, along with six of his teammates who lost to Newcastle last weekend, was left out of the side that faced Real Madrid on Tuesday. A media storm has engulfed Brendan Rodgers since releasing a controversial team sheet, but Henderson thinks the changes made sense, even if it meant he didn't get on the pitch. "We've got a big squad and other people deserved to play," Henderson said in an...
The Liverpool Offside Nov 2, 2014
It wasn't a particularly enjoyable day for anyone involved, Jordan Henderson included, and the vice-captain pointed out that while they were able to maintain a majority of possession on the day, it did little to give them an edge. After a relatively promising week, Liverpool traveled to St. James' Park with hopes of building momentum for what will be a tremendously difficult four-day stretch. Away to Madrid in the Champions League and then Chelsea at home in league will provide the season's biggest challenge to date, and a solid display at Newcastle would have at least given reason for...

With 2012 behind us and the "fiscal cliff" narrowly averted for now, investors can get back to investing, and that means keeping up on the latest new thing and disruptive technologies. One of the best ways to do that is to keep tabs on the annual International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) held each January. I recently spent some time with Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association, the industry's biggest trade groups.
Q: What is the Consumer Electronics Association and its role for consumers?
A: The Consumer Electronics Association is the pre-eminent trade association promoting growth in the $206 billion U.S. consumer electronics industry. More than 2,000 companies — large and small — enjoy the benefits of CEA membership, including legislative advocacy, market research, technical training and education, industry promotion, standards development and the fostering of business and strategic relationships. CEA also owns and produces the International CES — The Global Stage for Innovation. All profits from [the trade show] are reinvested into CEA's industry services.
At CEA, we focus on fostering innovation, as a national strategy and as part of our mission, all year long. For consumers, this means we promote the development of exciting new technologies, products and services.
Q: How did the industry fare this holiday shopping season, which seemed to start off strong in late November but fizzled before too long?
A: CEA research suggests the holiday sale season began slowly — likely as a result of the elections pulling consumer attention. Spending, however, began to accelerate into November. The Black Friday week was the strongest in history.
Overall, we expect retail sales this holiday season to grow 3.4 percent — slightly below last year's results but above the 10-year trend. CEA expects electronics and appliance holiday retail sales to grow 2.2 percent — slightly above last year and above the 10-year trend.
Q: It seems PCs and e-readers are losing out to tablets. Any noteworthy products this year?
A: Tablet ownership has increased from 1 in 5 households at the beginning of the year to 1 in 3. We are seeing a tremendous number of devices launch around these "hub devices," including health and fitness products and new technologies to stream audio from tablets to higher-quality speakers and audio systems.
2012 brought the launch of the next generation of TV — ultra HD. Ultra HD features a picture with four times more detail than on high-definition sets, creating an incredibly immersive viewing experience.
We also are excited about the next generation of laptops and computing devices, which take advantage of Windows 8, and new e-readers that offer more features and connectivity at a wide range of price points.
Q: Looking into 2013, the annual International CES is on tap. What's the background on the show and what can we expect to hear this year?
A: The International CES is the world's largest annual innovation event. It is the launching pad for next-generation technologies that consumers will be coveting in the years ahead.
The 2013 CES will feature a record 1.87 million net square feet of exhibit space, with more than 3,000 exhibitors. Some 20,000 new products will launch at the show, with major product trends including cloud-based services, advancements in digital health, gesture and sensing technologies, apps, the latest smartphone and tablet innovations, connected car technologies and Ultra HDTV.
The 2013 CES conference program features 300 robust sessions and 800 speakers, including keynotes from the leaders of Qualcomm, Panasonic, Samsung and Verizon, and a panel with executives from American Express, AT&T, Coca-Cola, Salesforce.com, Samsung and Unilever.
Q: Lastly, you have a new book coming out — "Ninja Innovation: The Ten Killer Strategies of the World's Most Successful Businesses." How important is innovation in the consumer electronics industry and in American business?
A: Innovation is America's "secret sauce." It is a critical component of our history and our success as a country.
We coined the term "ninja innovation" to underscore that the same qualities that made Japanese ninjas so effective make today's "ninja innovators" so effective: discipline, determination, passion.
Ninja innovation looks at setting goals, building a team, taking risks, dealing with failure, following a moral compass, challenging the status quo, stealth and adaptability, among other important factors through the lens of the [consumer electronics] industry. The book includes examples from IBM, Amazon, eBay, Ford, HealthSpot, and Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos, among others.
Our own International CES is a microcosm of the whole philosophy laid out in Ninja Innovation, and the book draws heavily on our show as an example of ninja innovation at its best.

History of St. Petersburg Museum: Rumyantsev Mansion

The St. Petersburg Times
Published: April 1, 2014 (Issue # 1803)
Independent television channel Dozhd has extended its operation for at least 50 days in a fundraising campaign launched to save the channel after major cable networks refused to air it.
The money was collected during a week-long telethon from March 24 to 30 that sold yearly subscriptions to Dozhd, souvenirs featuring the Dozhd logo and tickets to a gala, as well as through public donations and sales of advertising space on the channel's website. The telethon sought to bring freedom of the press into the spotlight, even inviting guests on air to discuss the topic.
Related: Dozhd TV Fomenting a Hipster Revolution
Dozhd, which is known for covering opposition activities, found itself in hot water earlier this year after publishing a poll that asked whether Leningrad should have been surrendered during the Nazi siege to save hundreds of thousands of lives. The poll triggered complaints from officials, and cable operators subsequently dropped the channel, though they said the move had nothing to do with the poll.
Last week, Dozhd owner Alexander Vinokurov said the channel would still have to shut down if its landlord did not reconsider extending the lease for the channel's headquarters beyond June 20. Vinokurov said that hiring a new space and preparing it for the channel's operation would require millions of dollars and more than 18 months' time.

But Dozhd spokeswoman Darya Simonenko said by phone Monday that Dozhd would not have to shut down if it lost its office, and that the channel's representatives would soon hold a news conference about the channel's plans. The date had not yet been set, she said.
There is hope among some of Dozhd's anchors that the channel may continue to produce video reports remotely even if the office is lost, three anchors told The Moscow Times last week.

The San Francisco 49ers have made it to the top of our rankings.
All the Ghiardelli chocolate and the promise of a comp round at Pebble Beach have paid off. I give in: The 49ers right now are the best team in the NFL.
Even though I still have reservations about the style of football they play, as well as their passing-game limitations, they get the nod after they dominated the Detroit Lions on Sunday night at Candlestick.
I know there are some who are ready to take the "Game Manager" label off Smith, but not just yet. He is playing better, and he's not turning it over, but I have to see it against a good defense on the road before the label comes off.

Amazon to open brick-and-mortar retail shops in Britain?
Send this to a friend
- Eric Engleman
- Staff Writer
Is e-commerce giant Amazon.com about to make a move into traditional retail? The Sunday Times reports that the company is "planning a surprise invasion of the British high street" and is "scouring the country" for sites for brick-and-mortar stores.
That would certainly be a huge strategic shift for Amazon, which is known for its online-only sales model. It also raises the question of whether Amazon is making similar plans in the U.S.
Update: Amazon's U.K. website said in an e-mailed statement, "We have no plans to open physical stores anywhere in the world" but provided no further comment.
According to the Sunday Times, the stores Amazon is planning in the U.K. are so-called "click and collect," where shoppers order online and pick up at a physical store. A number of British retailers offer such services, the report notes.
Such a model would presumably make sense for larger items like electronics and big pieces of equipment. Amazon has expanded far beyond books and CDs since its early days and now carries all kinds of products, some of which aren't as easy to mail.
It would be fascinating to see Amazon, which dominates e-commerce, stake out a place in the physical retail world just as competitors such as Wal-Mart try to catch up online. It would definitely add a new dimension to Amazon's ongoing sales battle with Wal-Mart, Target and other traditional retailers.
Brick-and-mortar shops could also be a way for Amazon to display and demo its Kindle electronic readers, which currently have no physical retail sales channel.
For the record, Amazon briefly experimented with pickup locations with its Amazon Fresh grocery delivery service in the Seattle area, but quietly dropped the pickup service in February 2008.

Binghamton got the run right back in the bottom of the frame. Darrell Ceciliani led off with a single against Duke von Schamann. He moved to second on a base knock by T.J. Rivera. Juan Centeno came through with a hit to plate Ceciliani and tie the game at one.
The B-Mets took the lead for good in the third. Dilson Herrera walked and stole second base. The throw from catcher Jake Lowery sailed into centerfield, allowing Herrera to go to third base. The center fielder, Ollie Linton then air-mailed a toss over third base that brought Herrera across the plate for the 2-1 Binghamton lead.
