Liberty Property Trust
) has reaped $367.7 million as proceeds by selling 49 properties
aggregating around four million square feet of space and 140
acres of land. The move is part of the company's strategy to
reposition its portfolio and support its growth
These 49 properties are among the 97 properties that the
company had earlier disclosed of selling. The sale of remaining
assets is slated to be accomplished by late Jan 2014. This
remaining disposition is expected to fetch $329.6 million as
In particular, the divested portfolio of Liberty consists of
office properties spanning 1.9 million square feet, flex
properties aggregating 1.8 million square feet and industrial
properties spread over 274,000 square feet. These comprise the
company's entire Jacksonville, FL portfolio, a part of its Fort
Washington, PA assets, and flex properties in
At present, the U.S. industrial market is benefiting from
healthy demand for industrial properties with improving net
absorption rate and declining vacancy rates. With a thriving
demand for premium-quality industrial space, Liberty Property is
repositioning its portfolio and shifting focus to the industrial
real estate in growing markets. Consequently, the company has
been involved in several deals in the past six months.
In October, Liberty Property sealed the $1.475 billion buyout
of Cabot Industrial Value Fund III that enhanced its industrial
platform by 23 million square feet. The company gained 177
properties in 24 new and existing Liberty industrial markets.
Simultaneously, Liberty Property is making concerted
efforts to lower its exposure to the suburban office properties
Despite the near-term drag to profitability, we believe that
repositioning efforts on the part of Liberty are encouraging. The
dispositions provide the wherewithal to be invested in acquiring
premium assets and poise the company well for riding on the
growth trajectory going forward.
This Pennsylvania-based real estate investment trust (REIT) -
Liberty Property - currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

32 year old woman | Scottsdale, AZ, USA | Seeking men 29-35 within 50 miles
I'm looking for a fun, athletic, laid back, guy with a great sense if humor. I'm an optimist who takes nothing seriously :)
I was in a long term relationship and spent the past year and a half completely single and I am now ready to start over. I had a great time rediscovering myself and enjoying my own company and hanging out with friends. I recently started dating again and realized its a bit crazy out there so I'm giving this a try. I am a very hard working, goal orientated person. I am extremely active and enjoy sports, health and fitness. I live a very healthy lifestyle and want a partner who appreciates that and lives the same way. I want a partner who can push me out of my comfort zone and introduce me to new things. I have a very playful personality and am constantly joking. FYI, never take anything I say literally :) I am extremely laid back and am open to just about anything as long as its fun. My friends call me the fun one because I'm always laughing and I'm drama free. I like a guy who is carefree, fun, smart, and attractive, and decisive. I want a man who is confident and very happy with himself and ready for commitment. I don't do jealously at all, if its in you don't message me, I can assure you we are not compatable.
Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Wine tasting
Dancing, Running, Soccer, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I have Dogs
Middle of the Road
I absolutely love to hike. When the weather is good you can't keep me off of the mountains. I would love a hiking partner who not only enjoys the workout but likes to stop and enjoy the scenery as well.
I can have fun anywhere!
The last book I read was 50 Shades of Grey. All my friends and co-workers raved about this book. I had to see what the hype was for myself so I could chyme in on the conversations.

Private Investigators in Ohio are required to be licensed in order to conduct Private Investigation services. If your investigation requires the case to move out of state, the private investigator must still abide by any out of state licensing requirements.
International Counterintelligence Services (ICS) is an international private investigation agency with certified sub-contractors in every state. Hiring a private investigator quickly can be critical to the outcome of many case types, so do not hesitate to call if you need a private investigator. You can receive a confidential and free consultation 24 hours a day to discuss your case with a private investigator or case analyst from ICS by calling (888) 223-6494, or contact us through our online free consultation system. Either way, we stand ready to serve you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including all holidays.
A private investigator in Ohio must apply to the Ohio Department of Public Safety and pass licensing requirements, including a thorough background check. While many Ohio private investigators come from a law enforcement or military background, it is not a requirement for employment as a private investigator. Often times a degree in Criminal Justice or other security and investigation work can be just as important to prospective employers.
You can rest assured that any Ohio private investigator assigned to your case with ICS is an authorized sub-contractor fully licensed and insured in accordance with Ohio State Laws and participates in the required continuing education.
ICS provides a full range of investigations for the State of Ohio, and has authorized sub-contractors in every major metropolitan region. Whether your case involves fraud, adultery, missing persons, child custody, extramarital affairs or infidelity, asset searches, surveillance, background checks or any of our other services, ICS has the resources and expertise to find the answers you need.<
ICS private investigators are skilled and experienced in providing computer forensics investigations in Ohio to scientifically analyze the data held on, or retrieved from computer storage media. Evidence collected by ICS can be used as evidence in an Ohio court of law. Our Ohio computer forensics investigators provide services such as: data recovery of emails, instant messages, and all types of files, virus and spyware detection and removal, email tracing, pornography detection, computer and network intrusion detection and prevention, internet history evaluation, hidden files detection, and more.
Technical surveillance countermeasures (TSCM) eavesdropping detection and bug sweeps are designed to detect any means of eavesdropping or electronic bugs in use at your home, office or vehicle. The TSCM professionals with ICS are highly qualified, certified and accredited. Whether your case involves suspicion of corporate espionage, stalking, intrusion into your private affairs, extortion, identity theft, or any other malicious attempt to harm you through information theft, the TSCM professionals at ICS are ready to assist you with an in-depth, comprehensive survey. A technical surveillance countermeasures sweep with ICS involves both physical and electronic inspection of the area of concern to determine if any means of eavesdropping or information theft are in use, like infrared, laser, audio recording, video recording, phone taps, GPS tracking, hidden cameras, wireless microphones, radio transmitters, cell phone interceptors, and more. A technical surveillance countermeasures eavesdropping detection and bug sweep is a service offered by ICS and is not itself an investigation; ICS will work with an Ohio private investigator to report findings and take action in the event of a discovery of illegal surveillance activities.
Do you need a background check performed on an individual in the State of Ohio? Are you in Ohio and need a background check performed elsewhere? ICS can provide this service and many others. Background checks are one of the most well known and useful investigation tools a private investigator can provide. Sometimes a background check is all a client needs and other times it is merely the first step into a more in-depth investigation, providing clues and leads for the investigator and client to pursue. If you need a Ohio background check or an investigation involving one, the professionals at ICS are ready to work for you to provide the discreet and confidential service you need. ICS has been helping people in Ohio just like you get results since 1967.

A formal agreement has been signed between the Tzohar organization of moderate religious Zionist rabbis and Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger to greatly increase the number of rabbis who can perform weddings. In the process, it substantially enhances the status of Modern Orthodox rabbis.

Plagued by religious friction, violent fights and a belief, "the grass is always greener", my peripatetic parents dragged us five children in search of the next great farm deal. From upstate New York to the Mississippi Delta, across the hills of Ohio and West Virginia their dreams led us forward to disillusion and defeat.
A middle child, unwanted from birth and over-looked while growing up, I learned the surprising lesson that sometimes being the least loved can be your salvation.
The story begins with my memory in 1947 when I was three years old. We were packing the car and a farm truck for our first of 19 moves. This is a story based on fact but inadvertently altered by the passage of years and experiences.
I am Jeanine, a middle child, who remembers too much too clearly.
Undone by five children, lack of money and a combative relationship, my parents marry, divorce and remarry each other. In my own voice, I tell the story of an upstate New York farm family torn by religious friction and violent fights, experiencing happy times, crises and failures.
My mother, a Seventh-day Adventist convert, uses religion as a weapon and metes out extreme punishments. At four, I'm forced to watch while my six-year-old sister and seven-year-old brother spank her. That night I dream the rats come into my bedroom and eat off my toes. To force my father to stop smoking, my mother prepares supper, adding cigarette tobacco to each dish. While the battle rages in their bedroom that night, we children lie in bed, hungry.
Unable to cope with financial stress and a religious tyrant, my father sets our house on fire for insurance money, abandons my mother with five sick children and a dairy farm, and later tries shooting himself. But this is only the first three years of the story.
Early in October 1952, Mother gave Anita, Sheila and me a choice, a new girls' bike we three would share, or our first birthday party, one for all three of us. With great excitement, we hashed over our options and voted for a new bicycle, a first for our family. Not two days later, Mother took us to Hollandale for groceries, but she had one errand to run first. She parked the car under a shady tree and said, "You three stay in the car. Don't follow me into the store. I'll be back shortly."
Of course shortly turned into longly and Anita said, "She's been gone a long time. Besides I saw her go into the hardware store, not the grocery store."
"So what," I said. "She said we had to stay in the car."
"That's for you little kids." Anita opened the car door, closed it, and walked into the hardware store.
"She's going to be in twubble," Sheila said.
Not two minutes later, the big glass door opened again and out marched Anita and Mother, Mother's left hand holding Anita's shoulder in a vise-like grip.
"That's it," Mother announced as she slid in under the wheel, "no bicycle." Sheila and I exchanged silent glances. Aware that we hadn't been present for the scene in the store, Mother explained, "Your older sister couldn't mind her own business and do as she was told. She disobeyed me and came into the store while I was choosing a new bicycle for you girls."
"What color are we getting?" Sheila asked. Boy she doesn't get it, I thought.
"No color," Mother continued. "You're not getting a new bicycle at all because Anita can't do as she's told."
That is blatantly unfair, I said to myself. But I knew better than to challenge the decision. From my seat in the back, I bored holes of hate into Anita's head all the way home. I cast a few hateful stares at Mother's head also, but had to be very careful she didn't catch me in the rearview mirror.
Three days later, Mother relented and said we could have a birthday party, inviting three guests each, if we cleaned the house and got everything ready the night before. We forgot the bike in our excitement of choosing our guests and dreaming of a real birthday cake from the store.
The night before party day, Mother came home from Greenville late to find we had failed to clean the house. "Why does this house look like a shit heap?" she yelled as she kicked off her high heels inside the door and bent to pick them up. "Where is everybody?"
Frozen in place with shock and surprise, Anita and I looked at each other across the dining room table where we'd sat down to get our homework done early. Sheila was quietly drawing pictures. "I thought I told you to clean this house tonight if you wanted a party tomorrow," Mother said, standing in the dining room doorway, her shoes and purse dangling from her hands.
"We are going to clean it," Anita said, closing her textbook and stacking her books together. "We just started our homework early and lost track of time." Anita stood up to take her books to the bedroom.
"Well you don't have to bother cleaning," Mother shot back as she whirled around and marched off to her bedroom in her stocking feet. "You can go to school tomorrow and tell all your little friends they can't come home with you because THERE IS NO PARTY!" she screamed before she slammed her bedroom door.
This was worse than no party. Visions of humiliation overwhelmed me as I followed Anita into our bedroom and threw my schoolbooks on my bed. I knew that Anita shared my agonizing images of retracting our previous invitations when she said, "We'll clean the house and maybe she'll change her mind." Bulls would grow teats before Mother would change her mind, but I damn sure was willing to try to undo the damage we'd done. I'd be willing to clean toilets, scrub floors and lick the counters clean to avoid going to school and telling my three fifth-grade classmates that my party had been cancelled.
Anita swept and vacuumed; Sheila and I dusted; and Mother followed us around, stripped down to her underwear, cursing and screaming like a Banshee. Mother stood in the doorway watching as I set a pail of clean mop water in the middle of the kitchen floor. She came over and gave it a kick. "You haven't got all night," she screeched. As I bent down to wipe up the water that had sloshed all over the floor, she kicked my butt and sent me sprawling on my face. Like a possessed heathen she dogged our tracks, kicking us and slapping us, turning our attempt to clean house into a fight for survival.
When every floor had been vacuumed and scrubbed, every stick of furniture dusted and polished, every kitchen and bathroom fixture washed and shined, Mother softened. She called us three girls into her bedroom where she had retired, exhausted from kicking and cursing. "I've changed my mind," she said calmly. Her voice was as sweet as candy. "You girls can have your party tomorrow. When you bring your friends home after school, I'll have cake and ice cream ready. I'll even buy some pretty paper plates and napkins and maybe a fancy party tablecloth."
That night when I went to bed, I pushed the scenes from the evening out of my mind and fell asleep dreaming of my first birthday party. It was also my last birthday party, but I didn't know it then.
Now I know how other girls feel on their birthdays, I thought, as I sat at our dining room table between Patricia and my two other friends the next afternoon. Anita and her three friends filled the other seats at the big table. Mother had arranged Sheila's friends around a small card table right next to ours. Clumps of candles were placed next to each of the three names on the cake, twelve for Anita, ten for me and six for Sheila. Tiny wisps of smoke rose from all twenty-eight candles as Mother cut the cake into small wedges.
"Can I have some cake and ice cream?" Darel asked from the doorway. He'd been told to stay outside during the party, but no little boy could resist cake and ice cream. "I'll give you some later," Mother said. "Go away."
Except for one or two gifts each Christmas, we didn't get presents. I couldn't keep my eyes off the tiny stack of gifts that sat over on a chair, waiting to be opened. I was torn between slowly savoring the delicious cake and ice cream and gulping them down in a rush to open my presents.
The magic moment finally came and Mother placed a stack of three gifts in front of each of the "birthday girls" as she called us. Each of my friends leaned forward on the table crying out for me to open their gift first. I closed my eyes and picked a gift at random and unwrapped it, holding my breath the whole time. Under the lovely butterfly paper and yellow ribbon lay a child's necklace made of multifaceted plastic beads in pastel colors, pink, blue, yellow and green.
"See?" Patricia said in her high-pitched child's voice. "You can wear it with any outfit. It matches everything."
"Thank you so much," I said, giving her a special smile and laying the necklace aside gently.
The next gift yielded a child's finger ring with a purple plastic stone set in silver plastic. The third gift was a bracelet that matched the necklace, obviously an arrangement between the two girls' mothers.
"That was very thoughtful," Mother said over my shoulder. "Now Neenee has matching jewelry."
All too soon pretty ladies in nice cars lined our driveway, calling for their daughters who yelled frantic good-byes and climbed into the nice cars and drove away. It was a wonderful birthday party, just wonderful.
Now Darel could have his cake and ice cream. He sat alone at the table, a wasteland of crumbs, melted ice cream and wadded napkins, filling his face with cake while ice cream ran down his chin and dripped onto his shirt. He was happy.
Anita and I spread our jewelry out on Sheila's bed to survey our treasures. Sheila had received coloring books and a book of real paper dolls――The only other real paper dolls we'd ever had came in the Tonette home permanents for children――Every one of the gifts Anita and I had been given was play jewelry. "You know you can't keep that jewelry, don't you," Mother said, coming into our room and sitting down on the foot of the bed.
"I know," Anita said, a bit hangdog now that the fun was over and none of our gifts was usable.
"Can we keep them in our drawers if we don't wear them?" I asked.
"Remember when I was a newly married woman and hadn't converted to Seventh-day Adventism yet?" Mother asked. "And I wore jewelry, including my gold wedding band?"
"No, I don't remember," Anita said, showing off how clever she was. "I wasn't born yet."
"All right Smarty Pants." Mother laughed. "But you do know that I stopped wearing makeup and gave up my jewelry when I joined the Seventh-day Adventist church. Years later I wrote a story about it titled Tinkling Ornaments. It was published in The Review and Herald." How could we forget it? I rolled my eyes when I was sure she wasn't looking. If she'd told us once about her famous publication, she'd told us a million times.
"Gather up your jewelry and come with me," Mother said. "I'll get a hammer." Outside the back door, Anita and I schooched down and took turns smashing our lovely new presents into powder. We scraped the powder off the cement step and dumped it in the burn barrel.
Funny, I feel a bit numb when I remember destroying my pretty presents. But by then, I'd already learned not to feel. Today I own a few pieces of lovely jewelry, a paucity when compared to my peers. When we go out in the evening, my husband still has to remind me, "Wear some jewelry, for Christ sakes Jeanine. What's the matter with you?"
Plagued by religious friction, violent fights and a belief, "the grass is always greener", my peripatetic parents dragged us five children in search of the next great farm deal. From upstate New York to the Mississippi Delta, across the hills of Ohio and West Virginia their dreams led us forward to disillusion and defeat.
A middle child, unwanted from birth and over-looked while growing up, I learned the surprising lesson that sometimes being the least loved can be your salvation.

Associated Press
KABUL, Afghanistan — Under intense security and the cover of night, President Barack Obama slipped into Afghanistan on Tuesday to sign an agreement cementing a U.S. commitment to the nation after the long and unpopular war comes to an end.
Obama was to be on the ground for about seven hours in Afghanistan, where the United States has been engaged in war for more than a decade following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. The trip carries major symbolic significance for a president seeking a second term and allows him to showcase what the White House considers the fruit of Obama's refocused war effort: the killing a year ago of 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden.
Air Force One touched down late at night local time at Bagram Air Field, the main U.S. base here.
Media traveling with Obama on the 13-hour flight had to agree to keep it secret until Obama had safely finished a helicopter flight to the nation's capital, Kabul, where Taliban insurgents still launch lethal attacks.
Obama is joining Afghan President Hamid Karzai to sign the agreement that will broadly govern the U.S. role in Afghanistan after the American combat mission stops at the end of 2014 — 13 years after it began.
Obama will also give a speech designed to reach Americans in the U.S. dinnertime hour of 7:30 p.m. EDT. It will be 4 a.m. here when Obama speaks.
His war address will come exactly one year after special forces, on his order, began the raid that led to the killing of bin Laden in Pakistan.
Since then, ties between the United States and Afghanistan have been tested anew by the burning of Muslim holy books at a U.S. base and the massacre of 17 civilians, including children, allegedly by an American soldier.
Obama's overarching message will be that the war is ending on his watch but the U.S. commitment to its ally is not.
Politics, too, set the tone for what the White House hoped would be a positive message and image for Obama: the commander in chief setting a framework to end the war while reassuring Afghanistan, on its soil, it will not be abandoned.
At home, Obama's Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, has retorted to the Obama campaign's suggestion that Romney might not have gone after bin Laden as Obama did.
"Even Jimmy Carter would have given that order," Romney said of the Democratic president ousted after one term.
Obama has tried to portray inconsistency in Romney's position on the merits of targeting bin Laden. Without mentioning Romney by name, Obama has said he has been consistent and if others have not, "let them explain it."
Obama aides said the anniversary of bin Laden's killing is not a focus of the trip. But they do not mind that Obama's mission will serve as a reminder, six months before Election Day.
More than 1,800 U.S. forces have been killed and 15,700 more have been wounded in Afghanistan.
The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq combined have cost almost $1.3 trillion. And public support for keeping troops in Afghanistan seems lower than ever.
Obama has gone twice before to Afghanistan as president, most recently in December 2010, and once to Iraq in 2009. All such trips, no matter how carefully planned, carry the weight and the risks of considerable security challenges. Just last month, the Taliban began near-simultaneous assaults on embassies, government buildings and NATO bases in Kabul.
Still, it would have been unusual for Obama to sign the "strategic partnership" agreement without Karzai at his side.
The deal is essential for locking in America's commitment and Afghan's sovereignty when the post-war period comes. Negotiations have dragged as Afghan officials have demanded specific assurances, financial and otherwise.
