El Calafate - the berry

Shares of DDR, DDR -0.10741138560687433% DDR Corp.

In recent weeks, however, the picture has brightened for the Beachwood, Ohio, REIT; management announced a deal to leave the Brazilian market, and Puerto Rico's finances were put on firmer footing with the commonwealth's large bond sale. As investors' sights return to DDR's fundamentals, including smart moves by management and better operating prospects, the shares, now $16.24, could rally nearly 25%.
"Operating results of the [shopping-center REIT] have been good, and will continue to be good," says CEO Dan Hurwitz. The consumer has been resilient, he notes, and the supply/demand dynamic heavily favors landlords, with few new shopping-centers planned or hitting the market soon.

The company, which was founded in 1965, operates in 39 states and Puerto Rico, which contributed almost 13% of last year's $700 million in net operating income, or property-generated cash flow from company-owned assets and joint ventures.
REIT investors typically focus on net operating income and funds from operations, a measure of net income that excludes depreciation. Historically, net operating income at shopping-center REITs has risen by 1% a year, but DDR is on track to boost NOI by 2.5% to 3% annually in the next five years as the company adds higher-quality tenants at elevated rents.
Funds from operations, meanwhile, have been growing modestly but steadily in recent years, from 97 cents a share in 2011 to $1.03 in 2012 and $1.11 in 2013. DDR forecasts FFO of $1.14 to $1.18 a share this year, a range lowered by three cents after the REIT's $343.6 million sale earlier this month of its stake in several Brazilian malls. DDR pays a 62-cent dividend, for a yield of 3.8%.
DDR trades for 14 times Wall Street's consensus estimate of $1.17 a share in 2014 FFO. That puts its valuation at the low end of the shopping-center-REIT universe. Likewise, shares are selling at a 13% discount to the consensus estimate of the net asset value of the company's real estate.
DDR nearly collapsed during the financial crisis of 2007-08, a victim of excessive leverage, international expansion, and complex entanglements in joint ventures. Shares plummeted from a high of $65 in 2007 to a low of $1.25 in 2009. The board sold 30 million shares that year to Alexander Otto, a German shopping-center magnate, for $112.5 million, at $3.50 and $4.00 a share. The Otto family now controls 16% of DDR's shares.
Hurwitz, 50 years old, was promoted the following year to CEO from president. On his watch, the REIT has sold properties, reduced debt, and upgraded its tenants. "This management has been in place for four years, and has done all the right things," says Jason White, an analyst with Green Street Advisors.
DDR's debt has fallen to 7.5 times Ebitda, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, from a high of 10.2 times in 2009. Management aims to reduce the ratio to under 6.5 times in the next five years, which could help the REIT earn a higher credit rating than the current Baa2/BBB-. White would like DDR to reduce its debt even more aggressively, to around 5.5 times Ebitda, to better position it for the next recession.
The Bottom Line
DDR's shares have fallen 7% in the past year, to $16.24, while the S&P 500 has rallied nearly 20%. As fundamentals improve, the stock could climb to $20.
DDR HAS FOCUSED ON improving its tenant lineup by reducing its reliance on book sellers, office-products chains, and other retailers facing pressure from the Internet, says Alexander Goldfarb, an analyst at Sandler O'Neill. At the same time, it is signing up tenants that are increasing store count, such as TJX TJX -1.5703069236259815% TJX Cos.

The REIT's ability to manage its tenant base has been enhanced by a dearth of new strip-mall developments. Supply scarcity also has helped boost DDR's occupancy rate to 95% from 90.7% in 2009. Tenants renewing rents typically face price increases in the high single digits, while new tenants are paying 15% to 18% more than the previous occupant, Hurwitz says.
"With an improved risk profile and simplified structure, we expect multiple expansion to drive the stock higher," Morgan Stanley's Haendel St. Juste recently wrote to clients. His price target: $20.

singer treadle sewing machine
I was given an old singer sewing machine from a neighbor and would love to have the cabinet and iron base restored. Any suggestions, or referrals of where i could get this done?? The machine is intact~I will leave it in but don't really mind if it doesn't work~I mainly want to use it for a table or small desk. Thanks!
Do you not want to do this yourself? If the iron is rusted, you might need to have it sandblast, or you could clean it yourself and use navel jelly. I have had very good luck this way. As for the wood, I would clean it and put tung oil on it. If you don't want to do this yourself, find a furniture restorer in your phone book or ask an antique store owner who they use.
I redid the one I have in my living room....it was a veneer that was all tearing off...I peeled it all off and found it was oak underneath. I've since heard that oak used to be a cheap wood and they covered it up with veneers to make it look more expensive. After I got it all peeled off...I sanded it good and stained and waxed it...It still looks old because it has lots of dings and scratches in it...
I use it for a lamp table...
What a find! I have two and they bought work. I don't really use them, but I play with them now and then for old time's sake. I think the above suggestions are great. It will look better cleaned up with the dings and all. After you get the rust off you can repaint the black metal and it will be perfect. My mother had my first one sandblasted - wood and all and now the wood if really grainy. Tough lesson to learn. CS

"Viva Aguilera" b/w "You Do You"
Meet the new Christina Aguilera, same as the old Christina Aguilera.
By Dr. Julianne Escobedo Shepherd , August 4, 2006
Approximately one month ago, I sat across from Jordan Bratman and fixated on his unshorn facial hair. His dark brown scruff was at least three days thick, but soft-looking, and underscored his casual ensemble-- slouchy pants, mint green and navy Nike dunks, a watch, and a fitted T. The watch was the only indicator he might be stacking. (I haven't seen his stock portfolio, but considering he runs his own management company, I'm just assuming.) He sat quietly, sipping an Amstel Light (the brew of the people), while his wife, Christina Aguilera, flanked him and commanded an audience. She was playing her new double record at New York's Sony Studios for a small gathering of critics and music-industry heads. He was clearly there to show his support.
Bratman is one of the main topics on Aguilera's new album, Back to Basics, and in the age of Jessicas, Nicks, and Parises flinging dramatic song-disses like passed notes in junior high, he is an unassuming plot point. He may not even have a celebrity stylist. But he inspired Aguilera to write songs like the jacked-up "Ain't No Other Man" and her ode to "The Right Man". The fact that Aguilera found love and inspiration in such an everydude is a testament to her grounded (and private) nature, far from your average InTouch fixture. And don't blame Bratman for her shift in fashion choices: In New York, before she played Back to Basics' sexy burlesque number, "Nasty Naughty Boy", Aguilera bristled at the notion that marriage would tame her image or that she would ever let a man dictate her career. Yet between her toned-down style, recent collaboration with respected hip-hop producer DJ Premier, and continued work with songwriter Linda Perry, it seems that with Back to Basics-- a sprawling double album that uses both a string section and a stylus to encompass a range of styles, including throwback jazz, soulful hip-hop, and Tim Burton-influenced carnival music-- this former Mickey Mouse Clubber has changed.
Or rather, this album will change how she is perceived. Though Aguilera's previous albums, Christina Aguilera, Mi Reflejo, My Kind of Christmas, and Stripped, showed her formidable vision, range, and lusciously oscillating, post-Mariah melisma, it's been a common misconception that Aguilera was just another pop tart whose fame was based on her sexuality more than her ability to sing or write songs. Now that Back to Basics has leaked, the party line emerging is that Aguilera's finally coming into her own as an artist-- never mind that Stripped was a sprawling album of empowerment anthems and hip-hop-influenced r&b ballads, that Christina Aguilera produced hip-hop-influenced pop hits with the delectable elasticity as any single by Annie, Brandy, or Kelly Clarkson, or that Mi Reflejo translated some of those hits to Spanish. But through the four albums she's released since the age of 19, Aguilera has always been an artist for whom long vision was much more important than short hemlines. (But if the skirt's too mini for you, then tough luck.)
She runs a tight ship. (Though let's hope she doesn't conceive of her own videos, whose racial dynamic is another essay entirely.) As she told me later, she devised the Back to Basics' throwback concept before she had selected collaborators, hunting producers via the post office. "I typed a letter that started, 'Dear Producer,'" she explained, "and stated what kind of record I wanted to make: A soul record with elements of blues and jazz. I had a whole list of bullet points saying exactly what I liked about each song. The list was probably a little over 30 songs, and included all the artists I mention [in the throwback number 'Back in the Day']: Memphis Minnie, Eartha Kitt. Otis Redding's 'Shake' was on it, and Ray Charles' 'Nighttime Is the Right Time'. I sent it to all the producers who I thought might be able to wrap their heads around the concept. I said in the letter [I wanted producers who could] experiment, chop things up, reinvent new sounds, recreate old throwback sounds. Some people didn't get it or, I think, couldn't get it. But Linda Perry and Premier really just went there; they were able to get into it and experiment."
Premier and Perry weren't the only ones who bit. The second disc of Back to Basics begins with a menacing calliope tune, a setting for a 1920s carnival that Aguilera compared to the music industry. The song "Enter the Circus" was meant to be a collaboration with the prominent movie-score composer Danny Elfman, she said, but "one crazy night" she and Perry drank a little booze (moonshine, no doubt) and decided they could do it themselves. Still, "I really love a lot of the things Danny Elfman has done with Tim Burton," she says. "I love the soundtrack he did for Beetlejuice. There was a circus portion in one of Tim Burton's more recent movies, Big Fish. It was a carnival scene, a little bit darker circus. It wasn't all clowns and happy and hoo-ha and all this stuff. I really wanted to experiment with that idea, set it in the 1920s, and that's what we did. I still can't wait to recreate the red-and-white circus tent for a tour." She also drew from the 16th century: "Enter the Circus" features "the Gregorian choir that sang at my wedding."
While Aguilera and Perry devised songs on the fly from the drink, Aguilera and Premier pieced together joints from the crates. "Premier and I did go out and dig quite a few pieces of vinyl," says Aguilera. "When I told him the idea for the song 'Back in the Day' [which shouts out influential old-school artists], I really wanted to set the tone and get the listener in the headspace of paying homage. I was really interested in seeing what he was able to do with me, considering the work he's also done with Gang Starr. He did an interlude on their record called 'A Jazz Thing', which had a lot of elements of Bird and Coltrane and Billie Holliday. The way he chopped it up was so interesting to me."
Aguilera has long been a target for rockists. In the same way critics (myself included) began calling Sleater-Kinney's The Woods their greatest album partly for its obvious Led Zeppelin influences, "Ain't No Other Man" and Back to Basics are finding wider acceptance because they draw so much on jazz and soul-- two forms that are accepted to the point of ossification, far from the more female-dominated pop and contemporary r&b. Yet if anyone can recognize gender-bias it's Christina, who plainly indicted double-standards on Stripped with "Can't Hold Us Down". She declined to call herself a feminist, noting, "I really don't like labels. Feminist to one person might mean something totally different and harsh to another." But she stresses that "I do like to stick up for women's rights and I think it's important for us to voice our opinions. [The idea of] 'how we should be' sexually has been so pushed upon females from a male perspective," she observed. "You know, 'Don't be too sexual because you're gonna get labeled,' or 'Don't be not sexy cause then you'll be unattractive.' I think it's up to us as women to support each other in whatever decision we feel is right for us. [It's up to us] not to label each other, not to take on the viewpoint of what some man has tried to put upon us." Married or single, wearing chaps or a habit, singing blues or pop, accepted or dismissed, debut or double album, Christina Aguilera has done, is doing, and will continue to do Christina Aguilera.

The demand from England is steadily increasing, while the supply in this country is decreasing.

Most modern treas urors with such opportunities would have taken up their residence in Canada long ago. Lebanon county cotnniissionevs have directed the assessors to aBBe&s dogs at 50 cents for male and $1 for female animals, under the act of ISS'J. That is rijibt. If the law is in force, enforce it. Clinton county's cuts ought toby assessed in the same manner. The Democratic Governor of Iowa baB declared in his inaugural that the prohibition law as it prevails in that State is a pronounced failure. lie recommends that it be done away with without delay and that a carefully framed high license law be substituted. Rev. Sam Jones, in denying the report that he is going to become a farmer, says: "I am making more money than any ten Bishops in the Methodist church, and it would be foolish for mo to try anything like an experiment." The Rtv, Sam knows on which side his bread is buttered. The Government seems to have made an excellent bargain wiih tho -North American Commercial Company for the exclusive permission to take seals on the Priby-lof Islands. Under the new lease the United States will derive a revenue of about $1,000,000 annually from this source. During the coutinuauce of the contract the amount of money paid will be nearly three times that of the original purchase money. Weather forecasts fur March. Rev. Ira K. HIcfe* In Words and Works. Cool to cold, lair weather, for tbe most part, will prevail at the opening of March. The near approach of the earth to its vernal equinox is liable to produce terrestrial storms at any time, but the regular periodic storm movements will be clearly per-ceptible. The first regular period will be central on the 4th, with danger days, especially for tbe Eastern partB of the country, about the 4ih, 5th aud Otb. Perhaps a day or two earlier toward the West. Heavy precipitation, from rain to snow, going from south to north, m;ty be looked for, winding up with a cold wave, which will be felt far southward. The reactionary changes will fall on aud about thu IQin and 11th, which time is about the crisis of tbe vernal equinoctial period, and will be intensified this time by the approaching equinox of Venus. Surprising changes of temperature will take place. The murcury will dip toward zero at one place aud rise toward the 00s at another not more thau a degree or two away, perhaps, and at the same moment of time. Viulfiit electrical and atmospheric conflicts and convulsions must result, Scafaiing interests iu danger. From'tbel-lthtolSth, taking tbe 15, lii 17th and lStb as days of greatest probable danger, is the next regular storm period. The presence of the new moon on tbe 20th, earth's equinox on the �2d, and Venue's equinox o:; the 20th, are almost certain to prolong tbe disturbance of this period into tbe reactionary movements on tbe 21st and E2d. This period, taking it altogether, will cither be marked by many violent and destructive storms on laud and sea, or by excessively high and prolonged temperature, followed by active earthquake phenomena. Either or both need not unduly surprise or alarm. Bo watchful and prudent, put your trust in God and bo at rest. All the abjve may apply with equal force to tbe last storm period for the month, which is ceutial on the 27th. If storm clouds appear about the 2b':h to 2yth- which they are very sure to do-watch them closely until tbe character of the atorms they convey are fully developed. Storms shading from snow to sleet, and from sleet to heavy rains, hail and cyclones are possibloaud probable. Mercury is ou tbe 2'Jtb, Vulcan on tbe 27th, and Venus on the TR with earth and Jupiter as backers. Lft u.-i n:o whaf the results will be. Tlio month ought to end as it began cool and cold. Mareb will be a h'AVti mouth on your Btock. Make fpaciul efforts to protect and nourish it. It will pay you, and meet the conditions of a "merciful man." THE SENATE INVESTIGATION The Committee Wants to Indict the Editors for Contempt. THE LEAK HOLES NOT YET FOUND A Series of Resolutions Providing Proceed in^s for Contempt <*K�iD�t Certain Newspaper Men for Renting to Answer Oaestlont* a8 to Where they Outlined Their Information. Washington, March 4.-Five hours this afternoon, behind closed doors, the Senato discussed the subject of executive sessions. Senator Dolpb, from the special committee, charged with the duty of investigating the leaks by which the proceedings in executive session became public, sumitted a series of resolutions. A preamble, which recited tho piogress thus far, made by the committee, and directing the committee to again question J. llal-ford and B. G. Barn, representatives of tho press associations, and Messrs, Gutbridge, of the New York Herald, Seekendorf, of the New York Tribune, and Depuy, of tho New York Times, as to their source of information, and upon a second refusal to answer to proceed against them for cou-tcmpt. These resolutions, It is said, wore supported by Dolpb, Wilson, of Iowa, and Harris, of the special committee, who arc reported to have urged that it was incum bent upon the Senate to vindicate its authority and dignity by this course. They road extracts from numerous editorials and dispatches, to show tho necessity for proposed action. Senators Moody, Pettigrew and others are said to have taken strong grounds against the adoptiou of the resolutions. Teller offered aa a substitute for the reso-utione of tho committee his resolution proposed last spring for the consideration of executive nominations in open session. In this he was supported by Piatt, who with Teller, has for several years beeu an advocate ol open sessions. Blackburn, who has heretofore expressed himself in favor of an abrogation or modification of the present rule, is said to have | expressed the opinion that as long aa the proceedings in executive session are held to bo secret by the rule of the Senate the press ought to respect that rule. Tbe debate was continued, developing into a discussion of the whole question of executive sessions, and adjournment came at G o'clock without a concluaion being reached. It is understood that the discussion will bo resumed to morrow, Evarts to speak upon some of tbe legal points involved. Iu the course of the debate it was developed that some of tho supporters of tbe resolutions held tbe opiuiou tbat the recalcitrant witnesses were guilty of sedition in defying ono branch of tho legislative department of the government.

U <�ik at ihe Convention at Nashville-An ImtiienflM Sin88 Meeting Held. Nashville, March 4 -It was long after 1- o'clock, tbe hour for assembling of the third annual convention of the National League of Republican clubs at the Amusement Hall in this city, when the delegates were called to order. The States delegation commenced to arrive shortly after 11 o'clock and from that on until the assemblage was called to order, the members spent tho time in admiring tho beautiful decorations and doing some sharp political work for tbe next president of the organization. When lion. A.J. WaUon, Chairman of the Local Executive Committee, called-the assemblage to order and made tbe address of welcome, there were nearly 600 delegates in their scats. At least 100 more are expected before the convention adjonrns. Among tbe delegations arriving late were those from Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, aud tho far West, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Ohio, were delayed by the Hoods, but reached tho city this morniug in safety. Chairman Watson's address of welcome was brief, but eloquent. IIuu. G. N. Tillman, Captain William Rule, editor of the Kuoxville Journal, and W.U. Winstead, all of Tennessee, followed with brief addresses, after which the convention was turned over to President ( Thurston, of Nebraska. Tho mass meeting this evening was held in tho Convention hall instead of the public square. Tbo immense building was1 filled with delegates and citizens of Nashville. Iu tbe audience were many ladies ; and the best of order prevailed. | The principal address was made by General Nathan B. Ooff, of West Virginia. Judge Thurston will probably be re- j elected to the presidency by acclamation. 1 Edward S. Stuart, of Philadelphia, bad a strong following from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, South Carolina and the New England States, but when it wss announced that Judge Thurston was a candidate for re election, Stuart positively refused to permit ihe use of his name. lln ntInK<!"�'�* Eleetrlc Light. Wo glean a lew points from tbo Huntingdon Cil'.'be, in giving an account of the successful operation of tho new eleetrio li{;ht plant in that place, that will be of interest to our readers. Tho plant was put in operation last Saturday evening. When J, Simpson Africa, Jr., aged three years, grandson of tbe Hon. J. Simpson Africa, put his finger to the swite'i board and magic-like sent the electric current, over the wires through the town with i:s fourteen miles of streets. The effect was almost startling to tho hundreds of people who gathered around the lights in different parts of the town and expressions of the most geueroug kind were made, comnlim-. utary to the owners of the pl.iut as well us to the "city dads" in voting fjr the introduction of the lights on the streets. Tnirty-four arc lights of 2-jOOO candle power are now in use on the t-trcets and burn until twelve o'clock, for wh^ich the bvruugh pays at the rate of ?G0 a light per i ear. The plant v, as furnishrd by thu Thompson- Houston Company, of Philadelphia, and cost about ^'35,000, which is the same t-yaUm as in use iu this-city. The building in which tho plant is lo-catcd^is a brick ouo story, solidly construct" ed and contains two Naglo boilers, each of 70 horse power capacity and two Ball en-ginort manufactured by H.M. Soiple it Co., of Philadelphia, of 00 ami horse power respectively. Ouu engine furnishes power lay the arc .system and the other ouo will bo brought iui requisition as soon as tho machinery is completed for the tucaudes-cent i*ys'..um and u-u arc lights to burn all ni;;bL for the Punnsylvanta railroad. The lluntiugdoi. Company, which controls thorns plant, promise to furnish tho incandescent system at the same moderate rate as it supplies the arc lights. If Huntingdon, with itsscat'ered population, can have arc lights at �5 per mouth why should Lock Haven be asked .*8? Wo understand that there are several application* for lights \n this city that cauuot bo supplied by the Electric Light Company, as their plant is already worked to its fullest capacity. It seems to us that there is room for another Electric Light Company iu Lock Haven tbat will introduce the two systems and furnish lights to our people at moderate rates. Success is waiting for an energetic and liberal spirited company of this kind. The Nation;)! Kdttu ItftU League.

Miss Bedding, as "Nellie Royston,'' the discontented wife, was a type of character true to nature, her rendition of this exacting role proved to all present tbat sbo is an actress of brilliant attainments. She was effective throughout the play. Mr. H. J. Smith, as the hero "Joe Koyston," scored aoother hit, his powerful voice is always used with good advantage. Onr theatre-goers have seldom witness a finer piece of acting than the scene with "Nellie" in the third act. Tho balance of the oompany acquitted themselves very creditably. Tonight Miss Redding will present "The Octoroon." School Saving Banks. The Baving bank feature is to bo engrafted in tbe public school system of Philadelphia. At every school building in the city tbo children in attendance will make their deposits, and will be given a receipt for the same.

Tho rate of interest to accumulate on tbe deposits has not yet beeu decided, but it will bo about ;vhat is paid in the savings funds of the city. Educators and others who have looked into the matter believe It will work well aud stimulate an inclination to savo, and will early develop business traits. PennHytvanla'B War Governor. M. P.

EIGHT MEN PEIS0NEES IN TEE PIT No Meant of Ascertaining Whether They are Living or Dead Until the Rescuing Party Succeeds In Forcing; a Passage Through, tbe Gai Laden Chambers-A Hope That the Men May Have Escaped. Wilkes-Barre, March 4.-The fire in the South Wilkes-Barre mines is still burning. At 5 o'clock a large portion of tbe roof of the tunnel caved in by reason of tbe burning away of tbe props. The air pumps are worked to their utmost capaoity to ventilate tbe Stanton mine which adjoins and connects witb tbe South Wilk.es-Barre shaft. If the men reached tbe Stanton mine they may be alive, as the air there is good. In order to reach it, however, thej had to travel over a mile from the place Where they were working, and it is feared that they were overtaken and suffooated by smoke. Everything possible is being done by the mine officials to rescue the men. One of the oity fire engines was pat to work early this morning and iB now pouring two large streams of water into the burning mine. Tbe fire will cause a, loss of over $100,000. j an unfortunate company. Tbe Lehigh'and Wilkeabarre coal company has been particularly unfortunate of late. Only a month ago seven men lost their lives in the company's mines at Plymouth. Five of the men entombed last night are married, and unless they are recovered alive they will leave five widows and twenty-four children. A report comas from tbe rescuing party in the Stanton mine that the air there is excellent, and that there is a possibility that tbe men are safe in one of the chambers. Up to shortly beforo noon there was no apparent possibility of rescue of the eight men entombed in tbe burning South Wilkesbarre mine, or the recovery of tbe bodies until tbo mine has been flooded, which is now being done by means of several oity fire engines. This will probably require a week or more. little hope of rescue. There is no change this afternoon in tbe situation at tbe burning shaft, and nothing has been heard from tbe exploring parties who are searching tbe Stanton workings, with a faint hope of finding tbe missing miners lost in tbe maze of the gangways. The steam Ore engines are still pouring a Hood of water into the burning mine, but they must fill the working to a height of 340 feet before reaching the fire. the situation unchanoep. Tbe situation remains unchanged this evening. One exploring party after another has descended tbe sbaft only to be driven back by gas and smoke. Tbe company's officials are now busy Hooding tbe mine. Dense volumes of smoke are still ascending from tbe air shaft to-night, and the destruction in tbe interior of tbe mine will be enormous. At 8 o'clock this evening the last exploring party reports that tbe fire is rapidly bnrning in the ehaft, and has made a bead' way of over 700 feet from tbe starting point of last night. Ail hope of finding the victims or any part of their bodies has beeu given up, as they have all probably been incinerated. MRS. KE.NDALAS A HKAI-ER. They Will Hold a Fair.

In one of the pleasant apartments at tbe Percival, New York City, sarrouadod by testimonials of a Geo t ion from her friends and admirers, Marie Kevins Blaine is slowly progressing toward recovery. An open fire burns cheerily behind the polished fender in the little parlor. Mme. Modjeaka's gift of growing ferns nods and aw ays in a corner; pretty hangings from an unknown doner drape the mantel, and photographes of familiar faces smile from unexpected hiding places. There aro a pretty litter of bric-a-brac and a little tray of delicate cups, and behind the scroons, popped up with cushions, rests the frail invalid. Disease has been merciful and spared her beauty, while it racked her body. A gown of creamy silk, with frills of lace about the open &eak, � fastened with a little twist of pearl-set gold. Soft, pink blankets conceal the helpless leg in its plaster cast, and tbe old' bright smile and merry chatter make one forget the illness which keeps her a prisoner. The New York Bun says: "Yoang Mrs. Blaine talks bravely ol the dread possibility of never recovering entirely the aso of the leg, which rheumatism has left with a peculiar malady having a scientitio title which signifies an aoouto inflammation of the cartilage of the knee. And she hopes, if acting be oat of the question, in the future she may be able to do something with her voice in a musical way to support herself. "Two weeks ago she lay helpless, in tbe surgeon's bed, suspended by straps and bands depending from the ceiling to sustain her body with the least possible strain. One leg, wrapped in its heavy cast of piaster, could not be moved; one band lay helpless and powerless. She refused tbe nourishment ordered by her physicians, and seemed to hare lost all hope of recovery. She had a caller, a oh eery, bright, hopeful woman, who said just tbe right words to rouse her and then went away. The next morning the caller came again, tossed aside wrap aud gloves, tied a nurse's apron about her waist and bent over that hospital bed an hour rubbing, manipulating and smoothing tbe invalid. At night the visitor played to a crowded enthusiastic audience. All New York is talking of the womanliness and sweet graciousneas of the English actress, and yet in no role she plays are these displayed so exquisitely as at tbe bedside of Mrs. Blaine. "Every morning for tbe past two weeks Mib. Kendal has devoted one or two hours to rubbing the invalid with her magic touch, applying some kind of oil of her own compounding, cheering her with her sanguine, hopeful words, persuading her to take a little nourishment once each hour to essay little efforts of motion which seemed to the invalid impossible, and ooax-ing, persuading and charming her back to life again. One morning, with no questions or comments, she lifted her. in het blankets out of bed, which she bad not left for six months, into the invalid's chair and raised tbe head a little. The next day she did the same and adjusted the chair a little more upright, until now Mrs. Blaine half sits and half reclines in such a way as she can amuse herself touching the keys of her piano with one hand. One day Mrs. Kendal persuaded her to use the hand she had not moved for so long,despito tbe pain it cost. The next day a lilttle greater effort was insisted upon, and now that Is tbe hand which Mrs. Blaine offers her friends in greeting. It seems this little magio gift of healing has been exercised before in tbe hospitals in London where Mrs. Kendal always has her vinttag day, and where she eujoys more than anything else to take a half dead baby, which tho doctors have given up, and nurse It back to life again. She knows nothing of the science of medicine; rejects tbe idea of having any special healing powerf doesn't believe In Christian science or the mind cure, ond insists tbat it is nothing wonderful at all, but just the utilizing of simple common sense. She insists that she must see Mrs. Blaine on her cratches before long. Saving* Uank.8.

Leading Operations Online
"This industry is literally 20 years old," comments Michael Alania, EVP at Outsourced Ad Ops and witness to the at-times insanely rapid evolution of digital advertising and the operations role at its core. "You look at where we are now versus where we've come from, it's pretty staggering. And with how quickly technology is developing and evolving, you have to wonder where we'll be in another 20 years."
It's something to ruminate on, and fortunately I am in a room full of ruminators – Alania, OAO Founder and President Craig Leshen, who began his career in ops back in 1996 at Hachette Filipacchi Magazines, and AdMonsters Content Czar Rob Beeler, who gained his ops laurels while deep in the Advance Internet (now Advance Digital) stack. Over coffee and pastries, they are taking a trip back to the days before third-party ad servers, and when hacking was standard operating procedure. I've been allowed to sit in and take notes, occasionally nagging for more details about the distant past – which...
Last week at the BrightRoll Video Summit during Advertising Week, I heard Ben Jankowski (Group Head of Global Media at MasterCard) say, "If you've figured out programmatic, you're either a genius or an idiot."
I feel confident saying I haven't figured out programmatic, and I hope this improves my odds on being a genius (50/50 isn't good enough for me). But the comment sparked a thought which reached deep into my Economics background on what, exactly, it means to "figure out" something like programmatic.
After all, programmatic is simply a mechanism for determining the price of a product. While there can be many products available in the programmatic system (ad positions that reach various demographic, geographic, psychographic and behavioral groups), the programmatic system simply matches buyers to sellers. As such, it is really just an automated market.
It occurred to me, across history, there have been many people who believe they have "figured out" markets. Certainly some have been more successful than others in markets: Warren...
In the past, the acronym CPA had a simple connotation for publishers: low payout. Particularly in the post-bubble digital advertising world, CPA campaigns seemed a desperate alternative when CPMs had hit rock bottom. But more than a decade later, Epom Head of Sales Andrew Lebowski argues that in the age of programmatic and analytics, CPA isn't yesterday's "cost per acquisition."
CPA can be a powerful route for advertisers, particularly ones who look beyond conversions and seek insight into their target audiences. In turn, it's a healthier revenuefor publishers – particularly when it comes to the desertknown as mobile. I chatted with Lebowski about current CPA business, the mobile opportunity and thwarting bot traffic. We even ventured further down the rabbit hole to debate how networks can stay viable despite being squeezed on all sides.
GD: What do you think CPA means/includes in 2014? How has the practice has evolved?
The conversation is inevitable. While the phrasing always varies, it starts along these lines:
"We have some extra space in the footer, do you think we could squeeze another 728x90 in there?" or maybe, "Most of our article pages extend beyond 1400 pixels, that means we can fit another 160x600 on the rail, right?"
Market inefficiencies are meant to be exploited, and the CPM ad model is easily taken advantage of. As long as more ad inventory equates to additional revenue, incentives exist to paste another placement on a page.
The surface benefits of this 'strategy' are clear. In most cases adding that buried 728x90 to the footer will lead to additional impressions, increased revenue, and a higher page RPM. Even in scenarios where the unit is excluded from your direct sales, and performs poorly in programmatic auctions, you're still monetizing 100% of the impressions and returning a measurable daily revenue boost.
So what's the problem? Additional revenue is hard to argue with, and increasing overall earnings by pasting...
Last week in an interview with JUICE Mobile CEO Neil Sweeney, I suggested publishers view mobile as a quickly spreading itch that scratching won't relieve. Do marketers feel similarly about the channel? Sort of – an interesting new survey from Acxiom, 4INFO and Forrester shows that marketers know they need to diversify their spends to reach audiences hopping across devices, but the lack of consistent mobile measurement and tracking make them uneasy to fork over the ad budgets. (Get it here with some PII.)
Indeed, according to the survey, mobile measurement is the biggest obstacle to increased cross-channel spending. Various Meetups and...

Edit Page Last Edit: 1 year 10 months ago
Albert "Weasel" Arlington is a playable character in the Mob of the Dead included in the Uprising DLC. He was part of Sal DeLuca's mob and was discovered to be part of a Los Angeles heist which led to his imprisonment in Alcatraz. He was also the first to be killed by the zombie mob and sent to the Afterlife. In audio logs it is revealed that Finn, Sal, and Billy betrayed Arlington in the prisons roof when they were attempting to escape. When they learned this the trio remembered what they did and decided to kill him again. His fate depends on the player.

This is the second bissell deep cleaner I have purchased. This one works even better than the old one. I pretreated the stains as directed and went over them twice - old set in dog stains came out completely. The Deluxe Pet Cleaner did an excellent job on the hallways and all the rooms. Easy to set up from the box. The tank was easy to refill and I really like the new bladder feature in the tank. The water was kept hot at all times and the carpet was dry within one hour. No residue and my 12 year old carpets look like new. Highly recommend this product if you have puppies or older dogs with little accidents.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Exactly as pictured
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Excellent
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Excellent
This is much better than my 10 year old Bissell it replaced. The carpet is dry in 6-8 hours, max (I do 2 back and forth passes with fluid and then 6 back and forth to get all the water). Make sure you do not spill any of the concentrated fluid on the carpet. My 20+ year old blue carpets (that need to be replaced anyway) have a few spots that look a bit bleached.
This is a very good carpet shampooer. I have five dogs, so a shampooer is more or less mandatory! It's easy to use and I love the fact that it has a hose and attachment for the hard to reach places instead of a big apparatus that has to be attached. This feature works just like a vacuum for cleaning the areas the shampooer will not fit.

Sequence and phylogenetic analysis of a Chinese very virulent infectious bursal disease virus.
Laboratory for Animal Molecular Virology, Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, College of Biological Science, China Agricultural University, 100094 Beijing, China.Archives of Virology (Impact Factor: 2.28). 08/2008; 153(9):1725-9. DOI: 10.1007/s00705-008-0140-8
Source: PubMed
ABSTRACT The complete genome sequence of a Chinese very virulent infectious bursal disease virus (vvIBDV) strain, Harbin-1, was determined. Based on the sequence analysis, the molecular characteristics and potential virulence determinants and origin of vvIBDV strains were identified. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that a reassortment and/or recombination event may have occurred in the emergence of Chinese vvIBDV strains.

ABSTRACT: Humoral immune responses in birds, contrary to mammals, depend on the normal functioning of bursa Fabricii. Recent studies have delivered new information about the structure, development and origin of cells that compose the bursa environment. Several viral infections affect bursa, causing lymphocyte depletion or excessive proliferation. This review summarizes data on the development and histology of healthy bursa and introduces some common disorders that affect this organ.Anantomia Histologia Embryologia 02/2013; DOI:10.1111/ahe.12026 · 0.88 Impact Factor
Article: Phylogenetic Analysis of the polyprotein coding region of an infectious South African bursal disease virus (IBDV) strain.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) causes Gumboro disease, which is highly contagious and immunosuppressive in young chickens. A virulent form of IBDV reached South Africa in 1989 and to date there has been little molecular information available for this strain. In this study, the polyprotein coding region of the South African strain SA-KZN95 was sequenced and analysed along with 52 representative sequences of other serotype I and II strains. We explored the relative impact of recombination on phylogenetic reconstruction using a multidimensional scaling approach. Phylogenetic analyses consistently placed the South African isolate within the very virulent IBDV clade. Selection analyses were also conducted to identify evolutionarily relevant amino acid residues. Previously, 19 residues in the polyprotein were shown to be potentially diagnostic for the different IBDV pathotypes. This study identified an additional two unique residues in the polyprotein which may be used as genetic signatures in future viral identifications. Better strain identification would aid in the development and application of vaccines.Infection, genetics and evolution: journal of molecular epidemiology and evolutionary genetics in infectious diseases 11/2013; 21.

Article: Genomic sequence analysis of a new reassortant infectious bursal disease virus from commercial broiler flocks in central China.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We report the complete nucleotide sequence of a reassortant infectious bursal disease (IBD) virus (IBDV) HN isolate from commercial broiler flocks in central China. The genome consisted of 3,232 and 2,652 nucleotides in the coding regions of segments A and B, respectively. Alignment of both nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences and phylogenetic analysis revealed that the genome segments A and B of HN were derived from the attenuated strain B87 and the VV strain OKYM. This is a new reassortant IBDV strain that has emerged in nature, involving segment A of a cell-culture-adapted attenuated vaccine strain B87.Archives of Virology 03/2013; DOI:10.1007/s00705-013-1682-y · 2.28 Impact Factor
