Anyone know what has propelled the recent runup in PSN's stock price? Also, if anyone can figure out their dividend, it would be helpful. Yahoo has a dividend rate that is much less than what I thought it might be.Netstockman.
Could you tell me the difference between CCA and PZN ?
CCA spun off their real estate holdings into a REIT. PZN is the REIT created.
broad, check it out.
I think you will find the dividend yield is around 5% on stock purchased around 33. Don't invest the farm on that info but I think it's close.

Meet the Author
Kathleen is a speaker, author and bullying crusader. Her books are fun to read and they always have a message of love and acceptance. She enjoys travel & experiencing new cultures. She writes a blog and contributes to various publications.
This is first book in the "Magical Adventure" saga. Her husband, Hiren, is from India. Kathleen spent extensive time traveling throughout India and learning about the culture firsthand. In fact, many scenes in the book are based on Hiren's experiences as a young man.
"This book is important because it is fun to read, full of magic and adventure, but most importantly it has an educational aspect to it. So many Indian families have immigrated and are raising their children in America, yet most Americans know very little about the Indian culture. With ignorance comes fear- from fear comes bigotry. Education is the key to acceptance." ~Kathleen Patel

I was asked to review this book by the author, and I'm honestly happy that she approached me because I absolutely loved this book!! I loved the cover of this book, because if anyone knows me, they know that I have a huge soft spot for tigers. Anyway, in Hirens Magical Adventure, Hiren is sent to India by his parents to stay with his grandparents for the summer, to learn to appreciate his heritage. Before Hiren went to India, I sympathized with him, because it just seemed to me as if he really didn't understand why his family had to be different than any other American families. When Hiren went to India, he stayed with Dadee and Dadoo, which I learned is an Indian tradition as to what you would refer to your grandma and grandpa as. As the story went on, I was super anxious to find out all about the family's secrets and why they were so unaccepting of Dimpi and Pratibha. I loved the fact that this book kept me on the edge of my seat, and kept me wanting more. If you read this book, not only will you enjoy it, but you will learn about the Indian culture, which I appreciated so much.

However, let's be honest: Unless you're scheduled to star in a music video in the near future, you might experience some problems pulling off these glasses in real life. To get in on this music icon's style without being ridiculed, choose a pair of shades with a similar shape, but minus the Venetian-blinds factor. These aviators from Gucci retain the same slick look as Kanye's and will add glamour to your look instead of turning you into a laughing stock. G-shock G8001G-7 This fashionable white watch from G-shock is a great match with the T-shirt and will give your whole look a sporty vibe thanks to the large digital face and small pieces of metallic hardware. White is also a slightly unusual color for a watch, so it will set you apart and make your outfit stand out by just the right amount. As well, it's water-resistant up to 200 meters, so there will be no need to remove it when you decide to jump in a pool at a post-clubbing party. Of course, this watch is also perfect to take to the beach since its athletic style will pair well with a tan and almost any swimming trunks. Adidas Tokios Add a further element of uniqueness to your look by sporting a brightly colored pair of shoes, such as these Adidas Tokios. The slim sole is perfect for running around town all day and dancing all night. And peeping out from under your jeans, these will add a bit of flash to your outfit at a rather modest price. In the fall, try switching your lightweight vest for a warmer, puffier one in a color that matches or complements your sneakers to maintain the futuristic edge of your outfit. For a fabulous winter getup, keep the sneakers, jeans, T-shirt, and vest, and just add a hooded parka. kick it like kanye To make a "strong" style statement like Kanye, play on a classic look like jeans and a T by adding sportswear, '80s and Eastern influences. This seriously funky mishmash of cultures and clothing will take your look to another dimension of cool and have you getting down at the clubs harder, faster and stronger than ever before.

Many a young lady does not realize just how strong her love for a young man is until he fails to pass the approval test with her parents.
Just because you know someone doesn't mean you love them, and just because you don't know people doesn't mean you can't love them. You can fall in love with a complete stranger in a heartbeat, if God planned that route for you. So open your heart to strangers more often. You never know when God will throw that pass at you.

The EU's Court of Justice has ruled that it is possible for a borderline product to be categorized as a drug or medicine in one country and as a medical device in another, thereby subjecting the same item to two different sets of regulations. It would even be possible for products using the same substance and mode of action to be marketed as both a drug and a medical device in the same country in certain instances, the court said.

Seeking Justice at the Militarized Oakland City Council
Submitted by Persona non grata on Mon, 2012-10-08 00:00
The Blueford family and the Justice for Alan Blueford (JAB) Coalition returned to City Hall last night, after causing such a disruption at the last meeting (September 18th) that it was cancelled. On Tuesday evening, over 200 people came out to support the Bluefords in demanding answers, over 100 of whom were barred from entering the City Council meeting by Oakland police. Inside the City Council chambers, the Blueford family and several dozen supporters demanded answers and the police report, and that the officer who killed Alan be fired.

Customer Reviews
Rated 5 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ScoobyD Very well made product. Easy to set up. We don't get our new puppy for another four weeks. I think I have ordered the wrong size. I will probably return this crate for the "Toy" size. I ordered the "X-small" size, but there is still too much space for a two-pound puppy which when fully grown will probably only weigh four to four and a half pounds. It's been many years since we were puppy parents, so we are learning a lot of new things. April 4, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by DaisyMay2015 Very impressed with this product This crate is very heavy duty and perfect for my small new puppy. December 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by choclabz Excellent Puppy Crate We have 2 chocolate lab puppies. Initially, we had both pups in one crate but as they grew, ordered another one. Awesome service and quick shipping from Chewy's! December 1, 2013

A simple but spotlessly clean hotel. The couple that have run the hotel for over forty years are wonderfully friendly and speak English and French as well as Catalan and Spanish. The rooms were simple, the beds comfortable, the breakfast good. A parking spot can be included for a small daily fee. All in all excellent value for money - I would return there again.

The ECDC Communicable Disease Threats Report (CDTR) is a weekly bulletin for epidemiologists and health professionals on active public health threats. This issue covers the period 18-24 September 2016 and includes updates on Zika virus, West Nile fever and MERS.
51,031* migrants assisted with Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration (AVRR) from 1 January to 30 June 2016
19/9/2016 - OECD countries need to address the growing anti-immigration backlash and reinforce migration and integration policies while fostering international cooperation in this area, according to a new OECD report.
Greece - As the European Union (EU) relocation scheme reaches its one year anniversary, only 5,000 asylum seekers have been relocated from Greece and Italy to other EU Member States with IOM assistance. The EU programme adopted a year ago was set up to relocate 160,000 asylum seekers from frontline EU Member States. Since then, IOM has assisted 4,954 people relocate from Greece and Italy with pre-departure preparation and travel assistance.
Greece - IOM this week has helped 222 asylum seekers relocate safely from Greece and Italy to other European Union (EU) Member States under the EU's relocation programme, continuing a trend of increased numbers of relocations in recent months.
EU relocations from June to August this year reached 2,596 people, which is 60 percent of the total number relocated so far under the scheme.
An average of 865 people per month were relocated in the last 3 months, a marked increase over the average of 233 per month in the 8 months before that.
Helsinki, Finland | AFP | Friday 9/2/2016 - 14:56 GMT
Finland said Friday it would sharply cut the number of places available to house asylum seekers by the end of next year as the influx dwindles.
Pekka Nuutinen, Finland's incoming top immigration official, told public broadcaster Yle that the capacity of the centres would fall from this year's peak of 30,000 to 10,000 by the end of 2017.
Funding was a key factor behind the decision together with security and the location of the centres, Nuutinen said.
Greece - IOM helped two groups of asylum seekers to leave Greece for Finland this week under the European Union (EU)'s ongoing relocation programme. Of the 82 people relocated, 11 were unaccompanied children.
On Monday (29/08), 42 people were relocated from Greece to Finland. The group comprised 36 Syrians, six stateless individuals and one unaccompanied child. Today, a group of 38 Syrians, one Iraqi and one Eritrean are traveling from Athens to Helsinki. There are 10 unaccompanied children among them.
Germany - With an increasing number of migrant children reported missing in Europe, questions arise about the availability, coverage and reliability of data on children migrating to and through the European Union.
IOM's Berlin-based Global Migration Data Analysis Centre (GMDAC) analyses the evidence base in its latest Data Briefing Issue 5, released today (2/9).

Broderick: put UWM water facility at Transit Center
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee should put its planned School of Freshwater Sciences in the Downtown Transit Center, and not on the former Pieces of Eight lakefront site, says Milwaukee County Supervisor Gerry Broderick, chairman of the County Board's Committee on Parks, Energy & Environment.
Broderick supports UWM's proposal to create the new school, which would train water scientists and engineers. But he agrees with those who say the former restaurant site should be converted into green space.
The restaurant, which closed last fall, should never have been allowed on the site because it violates state law that prohibits cutting off public lake access, said Broderick, whose district includes the site.
He said the UWM building would continue to violate the law. Broderick suggested instead using the Transit Center, located at 909 E. Michigan St., directly across Lincoln Memorial Drive from Discovery World. It offers an underused and prominent location for the school, he said.
The county-owned Transit Center, however, probably wouldn't be a good site for the school, said Bruce Block, UWM Foundation chairman.
The university wants a lakefront site so students can have easy access to the school's research vessel, he said. Also, UWM wants a very visible site for a signature building that would "make a meaningful statement about our community, and its research capabilities," Block said.
Finally, Block said the UWM facility would provide public access to the lakefront. The building would not be built up to the edge of the water, like the former restaurant, he said. Also, a public plaza could be part of the development.
UWM officials and other supporters will make presentations Friday to the city Board of Harbor Commissioners on why they believe the Pieces of Eight site is a good location for the school.
The site is owned by the city. and is leased to the former restaurant's operator. UWM has agreed to acquire that leasehold interest, and wants the board to extend the lease. Friday's meeting is for informational purposes only, and the board is not scheduled to act on the lease.

Common Council rejects apartment high-rise behind Goll House
A proposed $55 million 27-story apartment tower for Milwaukee's east side has been rejected by the Common Council.
The council on Tuesday voted 10-5 to support the project, falling two votes short of the supermajority needed for approval. The zoning change needed 12 votes because a protest petition was signed by enough adjacent property owners, said Ald. Ashanti Hamilton, council president.
The opponents were Ald. Robert Bauman, whose district includes the site, along with aldermen Cavalier Johnson, Mark Borkowski, Jose Perez and Tony Zielinski.

Art as passion
Born in 1963 in Paris, Patricia Petapermal originally studied business. As financial expert she made a successful career as Stock-Exchange-Broker until in 1993 a terrible accident in London totally changed her life and after a long recovery she decided it was time for a completely new beginning.
She discovered her own creativity as an artist and studied art in Strasbourg.Since then Art is her passion.
As daughter of a French mother and an Indian father, she grew up within two cultures. Impetus for her creative ideas was the possibility to move intellectually and artistically between these two cultures and to express herself in the European as well as in the Indian tradition.
Her deep knowledge of the artistique techniques, such as painting in oil and acrylic, reliefs, collages and drawings led her to a clear, yet varied style in which she shows her own philosophical views.

Charity Ann Johnson (pictured), a Texas woman arrested for posing as a 15-year-old to get in to high school, was released Tuesday, KLTV reports.
SEE ALSO: Boko Haram Reportedly Kidnaps Another 20 Women
Johnson enrolled at Longview's New Life Christian School last October. Per one officer, Johnson gave her "Charite Stevens" as her name, with a birthday of November 24, 1997. She used this information to enroll. A school spokesperson said Johnson enrolled with a person who was her guardian, Tamica Lincoln.
But Lincoln claims Johnson lied to her about her age, saying she needed shelter. "I sympathized with her, and invited her in to my home. I took her in as a child, did her hair, got her clothes and shoes," Lincoln said.
Charity also told Lincoln her parents had abused her. While acting as her guardian, Lincoln even met with Johnson's teachers. "I just don't know why she did it. Why put yourself and others at risk to do something like this?" Lincoln asked. "I have deep concerns about her being who we don't know she is, and then she's out there at the school."
Lincoln notified the police as soon as she discovered Johnson was lying about her identity. She also went to the school.
"Teachers were crying and students were crying, and her best friend just couldn't believe it." While jail records claimed Johnson was 31, police later found she was actually 34. She was arrested on failure to identify/giving false, fictitious information.
Officers arrested her in an apartment complex last month, with Johnson serving 29 days behind bars before her release.

After Sarah Palin charged that the Obama administration's policies "fly in the face of principles" by creating debt and "defy Economics 101," Conor Clarke points out that Alaska gets lots of money in federal spending--more than it pays in federal taxes--and shares oil revenue state wide. Alaskans no doubt have Rep. Don Young (R), not Palin, to thank for a significant chunk of that federal spending, but it's an interesting point, and the chart certainly is cool.

Benemid One of the first things you will notice about your Puggle puppy is that his/her behaviors are not fully developed. Benemid This means that what he/she learns in the first few months in your care is critical to their overall development. Benemid Therefore, benemid you need to know how to encourage acceptable behavior so your puppy knows his/her place in your family. Benemid Encouragement is harnessed through training, benemid socialization, benemid and - believe it or not - exercise.
Benemid That's right, benemid providing your dog with sufficient exercise actually helps you gain control over your pet, benemid and makes the teaching process all the more tolerable. Benemid It has been found that dogs that are not provided the ideal amount of exercise recommended for their breed are prone to destructive behaviors such as destroying property and digging. Benemid Dogs were not bred to be idle and will find other ways to release their energy if you don't provide them with a positive outlet.
Benemid A Puggle puppy that has been allowed to release their energy on a regular basis will be easier to control, benemid and is more apt to listen and cooperate during training, benemid as they won't have any pent up energy making them feel anxious, benemid frustrated and distracted.
Benemid Although exercising your dog is good for his/her health, benemid helps improve training, benemid and makes for an all around happy dog, benemid many owners find it difficult to find the time to provide the dog with the exercise they need. Benemid Busy and irregular work schedules, benemid fatigue, benemid and space limitations can create problems. Benemid However, benemid these obstacles can and need to be overcome if you want a happy dog with a first class behavior.
Benemid The following are some helpful tips you can apply to ensure your Puggle puppy is receiving the exercise he/she needs.
- Know the exercise your dog needs - First, benemid find out how much exercise your dog requires daily. Benemid This includes walks and playtime. Benemid Remember, benemid the younger the dog, benemid the more energy he/she has and needs to burn. Benemid A Puggle puppy requires one - two hours of energy burning fun per day.
Benemid This doesn't mean your dog should be taken on long one hour walks, benemid nor does it mean you should provide your dog with two hours of exercise all at once. Benemid Split the time up evenly between different activities. Benemid For instance, benemid two twenty minute walks, benemid 10 minute run around in the yard, benemid and an hour and ten minutes of play time. Benemid Remember, benemid you don't need to vigorously exercise your dog, benemid if he/she's moving, benemid they're burning energy.
- Walk – Take the time to go for a nice walk. Benemid You may not be able to take your Puggle on a nice long walk everyday, benemid but you need to make the effort to make your walk last longer than the time it takes for your dog to eliminate. Benemid Walking is a great way for both you and your Puggle puppy to get exercise. Benemid Best of all, benemid walking also gives you time to bond.
- Play fetch – If you've had a long day and you just want to relax, benemid why not sit down in a comfy chair, benemid grab your Puggle's favorite toy and play a good game of fetch. Benemid Your Puggle will enjoy the attention, benemid he/she will get their exercise, benemid and you can relax.
- Indoor treadmill – If you can walk the treadmill, benemid so can your dog… provided he/she's been trained properly first. Benemid Training your dog how to walk on a treadmill allows him/her to exercise as they would normally on a walk. Benemid This is a particularly good idea for those who have limited yard space or have busy schedules and cannot always take their dogs on nice walks. Benemid If you are interested in teaching your Puggle puppy how to walk on a treadmill, benemid speak to you vet first.

In a research note Thursday, Deutsche Bank analyst Robyn Karnauskas commented with takeways so far from the EASL conference in London. Company's mentioned in the note include Gilead Sciences (Nasdaq: GILD), AbbVie (ABBV), Merck (NYSE: MRK), Idenix Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: IDIX) and Achillion Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ACHN).
"GILD: Not a lot of data so far, everything looks solid. Gilead appears to be dominant regimen. Some chatter about how 5816 (second generation) is going to be the dominant pan-genotypic drug that can treat everyone. This could be 2016 launch.
"Abbvie: saw one study in experienced patients, need to see Tourquise2 (Saturday) to see how this combo reads out in cirrhotic patients. We have not seen pan-genotypic data from them so far (likely at AASLD).
"Merck: Solid GT1 data, 8 weeks doesn't look as good, one patient relapsed (chatter about this patient- we need to learn more about this patient that had new or mixed infection that was GT2 and 3) and there is concern that at low doses drug combo is not pan genotypic but it looks clean for GT 1,4,5,6. It is fairly well known that this regimen at that low doses of the PI may not be pan genotypic. At 800mg this combo had liver tox. Doesn't look like they can do 8 weeks.
"IDIX/ACHN: Chatter upon viewing Merck/Abbive data, Merck & Abbvie could need a nuke to really be pan genotypic and have lower duration, this could benefit companies with nukes like Idenix and Achillion," said Karnauskas.

NAACP report touts public Montessori schools
If you read my blog posts, you know I support public education. You may have also gleaned that I believe in the public Montessoris in Milwaukee.
Not only is Milwaukee's group of public Montessoris a one of a kind in the U.S. – I believe no other public district has as many of them – but they work.
When the WKCE scores came out a few months ago the public Montessori community rejoiced. The numbers offered concrete proof that the public Montessoris are on the right track, outpacing not only all MPS schools, but, in most cases, state scores, too.
We've noticed that administration has noticed, too. While some sensed that superintendent Dr. Gregory Thornton didn't quite buy in to the Montessoris yet when he arrived a year ago, we've seen changes.
For example, the Montessoris are waived from participating in the district-wide reading curriculum. Also, at a recent teacher training day, the Montessori teachers were, for the first time under this administration, allowed, to attend their own Montessori-focused training.
It's not a mystery. Dr. Thornton has said many times that he wants to encourage and expand on what's working in MPS. And over the past few months he's often pointed to the Montessoris as examples of success in the district.
If we needed more proof that public Montessori is ripe for encouragement and expansion in MPS, check out "Milwaukee Today: An Occasional Report of the NAACP," prepared by UWM's R.L. McNeely, David Pate and Lisa Ann Johnson.
The report, issued last month, focuses on education, employment, income and other topics in Milwaukee's African-American community.
The report, estimating that 40% of African Americans in MPS will ever earn a degree, says, "Despite the efforts of very dedicated public school teachers, many African Americans enrolled in Milwaukee Public Schools appear to be on a fast track for unemployment and incarceration."
That's 27th in the nation in terms of black male graduation rates, according to the report.
But, it notes that MPS outperforms voucher schools in both reading and math and then adds:
"Prospects for educational achievement are brightest for Milwaukee Public School students who are enrolled in Montessori schools."
Using 2009-10 numbers, the report notes that while one in two African Americans in MPS is proficient in reading (57.6 percent in Wisconsin overall), 69 percent of African Americans in the MPS Montessori schools are proficient. Among Latinos, those numbers are 60 percent in MPS and 81.3 percent in the Montessoris.
In math, 39.4 percent of African Americans in MPS are proficient vs. 60.2 percent in the MPS Montessori schools. In language arts the numbers are 34.3 percent in the district, 59.3 percent in the Montessoris.
But check out these numbers.
While 32.4 percent of African American MPS students are proficient in science, more than double that number – 66.1 percent – of African American students in the Montessoris are proficient.
In social studies, 47.3 percent of African American kids are proficient in the subject in MPS in general, but 82.2 percent are proficient in the subject in the Montessori schools.
The scores are based on WKCE tests at Craig (on the Northwest Side), Fernwood (in Bay View), MacDowell (on the near West Side) and Maryland Avenue Montessori (on the East Side) schools. The Montessori program is still being phased in at Lloyd Barbee (in the old Garden Homes Elementary School). Another MPS charter school, Kosciuszko, has a Montessori program, too.
There is also a Montessori International Baccalaureate High School housed in the former Juneau High School building. That has struggled. However, the issue is being discussed right now on Vliet Street and in the public Montessori community in Milwaukee.
In September, Wauwatosa Public Schools opens the door on its first public Montessori program, too. As is the case at most MPS Montessoris, the new Tosa program already has a waiting list.
While those in the Montessori schools caution against making the existing programs too big to remain successful, it is clearly time for MPS to consider creating capacity by opening more Montessoris.
There is an Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) training center in Milwaukee, The Montessori Institute of Milwaukee, that helps provide teachers, and the waiting lists show that demand already exceeds supply for Montessori in the district.
Add in that Garden Homes Montessori, which was an MPS contract school, is gone and many of the families there are looking for new public Montessori homes for their kids.
As the WKCE results and, now, this NAACP report suggest, if you build it, they will come. And if they come, they will be successful.

Also a proud Montessori MPS parent, but with a different viewpoint from dukefame -- I think that if more Montessori options were made available at the primary level, our community would benefit. The beauty of the Montessori method is that it nurtures the innate curiosity in very young children, so that they become self-directed learners. And it couples that with a respect for self and others that leads to self-discipline. With that foundation - self-discipline and self-learning, they would - I believe -be more likely to have a chance at overcoming the social/economic challenges that many MPS students face. There are no easy answers to what ails our society; giving kids "a chance" may be the best way to start.
Our school also has a tremendous parent community for which I am very grateful, but in terms of what happens in the classroom, I believe that the Montessori method itself is responsible for the majority of the success. But the method depends upon well-trained teachers and assistants (and enough of them in each classroom). The most important thing for us as parents to do is to continue to lobby to preserve the integrity of our Montessori programs, and to preserve reasonable student-teacher ratios in all of our schools.

There is an Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) training center in Milwaukee, not one affiliated with AMS. The Montessori Institute of Milwaukee has been here since 1989, running both 6-12 and 3 - 6 training courses. Furthermore, it is the AMI that was founded in 1929 by Dr. Maria Montessori to carry on her work.
The quality and standard set down in Milwaukee Public Schools is based on AMI teacher training and AMI standards.

Nice article! Glad to see the Montessori Method is working for so many kids, including my own, in a wonderfully diverse school that we love, Fernwood Montessori.
Now (gets up on soapbox), I need a college prep option for my kids that I can count on Mr. Thornton. Too bad many ppl in BV (and other city neighborhoods) don't see many MPS high school options available for college-bound track for their kids. And all those involved parents at Fernwood Montessori, other Montessori schools throughout the city, and other non-Montessori high-performing elementary students (many in BV) are looking for options - We don't need a Montessori High School - just college prep. From my BV vantage point: Reagan has a long waiting list and King is quite far by bus. A few neighborhood kids go to High School of Languages and High School of the Arts too but again, quite far by bus. Private school is cost-prohibitive and not an option for many families. It would be great to see a highly successful neighborhood public high school option for those Fernwood Montessori 8th grade grads (and other high-performing kids in other Montessoris and non-Montessori schools throughout the city including many in BV) where they wouldn't need to ride the bus for hours each day and instead could do their homework, spend time with their family, participate in extracurriculars, get a part-time job. (And then BV families I know wouldn't be clamoring for high school open enrollment or home selling as a last resort and leaving the neighborhood they love to get into another public school system either). (gets down off soapbox)

All the numbers about MPS Montessori programs are true and they do achieve at a higher rate than other K-8 schools. But as a parent of two and a member of an MPS Montessori School Governance Council, expanding the Montessori offerings is not the panacea that people believe. The number one reason the kids at a school like Fernwood achieve at high levels is due to parental involvement and I mean HIGH levels of parental involvement.
MPS can duplicate the Montessori program at other failing K-8's but unless these schools can get parents involved, they won't necessarily hit the numbers the current schools do.
In addition, I have wondered whether Montessori's open, self motivated style works for kids who really need a high level of direction and monitoring to succeed in school. Just because Montessori works for some, it doesn't work for all.
This is not to say that MPS doesn't have a gem here, because it does with it's Montessori schools and it should be duplicated slowly and with care.
