Computop, a leading payment service provider (PSP), is strengthening its global position through an extended partnership with eShopWorld, a leading provider of cross border e-commerce software, and services, and Billpay, leading providers for online payment methods dedicated to key European markets. The strategic alliance aims to bring customers an integrated ecommerce, logistics and secure payment platform to support growth in international markets.
The partnership follows Computop's recent introduction of Paygate 6.0, the latest version of the company's multi-channel global payment platform which is simplifying and streamlining how merchants can conduct business both domestically and internationally, and is fully SEPA enabled in preparation for the pan-European payment harmonization initiative later this year. eShopWorld has enabled a key feature of Paygate, making a duty and tax calculation available to Computop customers, and enhancing its global logistics across its customer base.
Stephen Berry, country manager for Computop UK commented, "2014 is set to bring major international retailer expansion as brands seek to maximise opportunities in key resurgent markets, growing consumer demand for UK brands and greater awareness of the "unknown". By simplifying the complexities of operating in the international market with our partners, we can offer merchants a single platform to deliver a seamless, enhanced customer experience."
Martin Tully, Chief Operations Officer for eShopWorld said, "We share Computop's total commitment to helping retailers manage the complexity of localising international customer online sales and delivering a superb shopping experience. We've had proven success with multiple international brands and we're looking forward to building on this."
Computop, eShopWorld and Billpay will be showcasing the service on Stand B50 at Internet Retailing Expo on the 26th and 27th March. A co-hosted workshop will explore 'Simplifying the Challenges of International e- commerce'. P2PE, operating in China and how Computop's integrated Paygate 6.0 platform can support this will be a key focus.
Maximillian von Eisner, Chief Sales Officer at Billpay adds, "Partnerships like these are about putting the customer at the centre of an improved payment solution. We've been working with Computop to do just that in a number of key European markets, enabling retailers like Joules to respond to specific local preferences in a safe, easy and convenient way."

Standard & Poor's Rating Services concluded a review of Del Monte Corp.'s issue and recovery ratings, and the recovery ratings remain unchanged. Our simulated default scenario contemplates a default in 2014 as a result of intensified competition from private label, significant loss of shelf space with major retailers, and higher commodity costs. We believe the company would reorganize in the event of default due to its viable business model, strong brand names, leading markets shares, and broad product portfolios in consumer and pet foods categories. Del Monte Corp. is the issuer of the senior secured facilities including a $500 million revolver and a $600 million Term Loan A, and the $250 million 6.75% and the $450 million 7.5% Senior Subordinated...

The newspaper collection of The Research Libraries of The New York Public Library brings the whole world, present and past, under your eyes: from the Bradford's New-York Gazette (the first paper published in New York City in 1725) to the Yiddish Forverts, from the Denver Post to the South China Morning Post. It is an outstanding collection of free and easy-to-use primary sources available to all users. This guide focuses on the holdings of the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building.
Introduction to the Collections
The holdings of the newspaper collection at the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building include over 350,000 reels of microfilm, tens of thousands of bound volumes, and thousands of current titles from all over the world.
The Stephen A. Schwarzman Building maintains comprehensive collections of most general New York City newspapers in English and other languages. Notable collections include, among others, the New York Journal of Commerce and New York Commercial, the New York Post, The New York Times, and El Diario-La Prensa. Among local and neighborhood newspapers, the library holds complete microfilm collections of the Villager and The Village Voice, while the Amsterdam News is accessible at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. In addition, the library provides access to representative U.S. newspapers in many languages from major metropolitan areas, to international newspapers with at least one title from every country (when possible), and to other selected newspapers.
The Library also subscribes to many electronic resources that index newspapers, often including full-text articles. (See Locating Newspaper Articles in this guide.) These resources can be used from the public computers in any of the library's reading rooms.
Where to Find Newspapers in SASB
Newspapers are found throughout the Library, in almost every Division. The Research Libraries' online catalog will tell you in which location you can find the title you need, so make sure to take note of the Location indicated in catalog records.
Within Schwarzman, newspapers may be located in any of the following Divisions (again, refer to the catalog for exact location). You will need to request newspapers from the Division in which they are located.
DeWitt Wallace Periodical Room (Room 108) For print copies of a few, current U.S. and international newspapers (see Current Newspapers in this guide) for a 3-month period. They are shown in the catalog as "CURRENT IN ROOM 108."
Microforms (Room 100) For most current and older U.S. and international newspapers, except those in the language divisions listed below. You can retrieve those titles in the self-service area yourself (they appear in the catalog as *R-*Z). You can request all other titles (*Z in the catalog) at the desk. The catalog location is "SASB-Micro."
Dorot Jewish Division (Room 84) For newspapers of Jewish interest, either in print or in microfilm. The catalog location is "Humanities-Jewish Div."
General Research Division (Room 315) For any titles that don't fall in the above categories. The catalog location is "SASB-Genrl Res" or "OFFSITE." If you are at the library, you will need a librarian's assistance in Room 315 or Room 100 to request offsite titles. You may also request offsite materials from home by clicking on the OFFSITE link in catalog records.
Rare Books Division, Room 328 For most papers published before 1865 (see Historical Titles in this guide). Titles listed in the catalog (not all titles are) will appear as *K. Ask a librarian in Room 315 for assistance.
Newspapers at any of the other Research Libraries will have the following locations:
PerfArts Library for the Performing Arts
Schomburg-Genrl Res Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture
SIBL Science Industry & Business Library
If you need assistance locating materials, please see a reference librarian at the reference desk in Room 315. If you are not in the library, you may also e-mail us for assistance at email@example.com.
Using the Library's Catalog
The catalog includes many, but not all, of the newspaper titles held by the Research Libraries. As a general rule, when searching for newspapers, consult the catalog first. If you do not find the title you are searching for, consult the Dictionary Catalog of the Research Libraries of the New York Public Library, 1911–1971 (available in the Rose Main Reading Room, Room 315). If your title does not appear in that source either, see the Historical Newspapers and Resources at Other Institutions sections in this guide for additional resources or for other libraries' holdings.
Searching the Catalog
Following are three main ways of searching for newspaper titles in the catalog.
- Journal title: If you know the title of the newspaper you are searching for, this search is the quickest way to find it; e.g.,
Times-Picayune.A word of caution. When searching for titles in a foreign language, especially in the Asian or Slavic languages, be aware that because of transliteration differences, you may not be able to find the title you need in the catalog. Refer to the lists of titles included under Current Newspapers in this guide, and use the call numbers provided to search for specific holdings of a title in the catalog.
- Words (Keywords): If you need to find the newspaper of a certain city at any given time—either past or current, you can do a word search, including the name of the city AND the word "newspaper*" (using the * will allow you to search for both the singular and plural form of the word); in addition, limit the search to "periodicals" and add a date or date range, if you are looking for titles from a specific period; see example below. (Remember to use "AND" between the words.)
- Subject: If you are looking for newspapers in general, the appropriate subject heading is
Newspapers.Newspapers may also be listed under the specific subject heading of interest (e.g., a city, a country, an ethnic group), with Newspapers as a subdivision; e.g.,
African American newspapersAdditionally, items may be found using Newspapers as a subject heading,
New York N Y newspapers
Paris (France) newspapers
followed by various subdivisions; e.g.,
Newspapers accountingAdditional, useful subject headings include:
Newspapers Cuban Americans
Newspaper Episcopal Church
Advertising, Newspapers
Tabloid Newspapers
Generally speaking, a combination of the search strategies described above works best. If you need assistance locating materials, please see a reference librarian at the reference desk in Room 315 or in the Microforms Division (Room 100). If you are not in the library, you may also e-mail us for assistance at email@example.com.
Reading Catalog Records
Newspaper records in the catalog can be confusing because they list all formats in which a particular title is available at the library. Any given title may be available in bound volumes, microforms, loose issues, and/or a combination of the three.
Following is a catalog newspaper search for the Washington Post. By clicking on each link you see the full record for that title.
The two screens below are part of the full record for the Los Angeles Times, which is available in multiple locations and different formats.
The next screen shows one of the records for the Washington Post.
Newspapers may also be available electronically through one of the Newspaper Indexes to which the library subscribes, but this option is not listed in the catalog. If you are at the library, it is good practice to double check for electronic availability, as shown below.
New York City Newspapers
The collection of New York City newspapers is one of the strongest at the Humanities and Social Sciences Library. This collection ranges from the first paper published in the city, Bradford's New-York Gazette in 1725, to today's copy of the New York Times. The collection includes both general New York City papers, such as the New York Post and the Daily News, as well as local papers like the Villager and the Bronx Home News.
Click here for an alphabetical list of the New York City newspapers available in the Microforms Reading Room.
Keep in mind that this is not a complete list of all New York City newspapers that are in the library's collection, as some titles are not on microform but in bound print copies. To search our library's catalog for newspapers published in New York, do a subject search for the phrase: New York N.Y. Newspapers.
For more information on how to locate newspapers in our collection please see the section on Using the Library's Catalog.
For a list of newspapers published in New York City, look in The encyclopedia of New York City, located at the reference desk in the Microforms Room and in other divisions.

Current Newspapers
Holdings of the Humanities & Social Sciences Library
Titles to which the library is subscribing are considered current. The format in which these titles are available varies: some papers are received only in print, others only in microfilm. The most recent issues become available as they arrive, and delivery times vary. Selected titles are also available at NYPL Mid-Manhattan Library. You may check those holdings on the Branch Libraries' online catalog, LEO.
Where to Find Current Titles
Hundreds of current titles are received from all over the world. Current newspapers are usually available in microfilm, and they can be searched in the catalog, the catalog of the NYPL Research Libraries.

Historical Newspapers
U.S. pre-Civil War newspapers, with special emphasis on the period up to 1801, and New York City newspapers are the strongest areas of the newspaper collection at the Humanities and Social Sciences Library. For New York City titles, see New York City Newspapers in this guide.

Among U.S. newspapers of note, the library holds extensive collections of Franklin's Gazette and Bradford's Journal (Philadelphia), North Carolina newspapers before 1800, the Virginia Gazette and the Kentucky Gazette.

PITTSBURGH -- A woman who pleaded guilty to leaving her 3-year-old twins unattended before an early morning fire killed them has been sentenced to three to six years in prison.
Dalawna Berran-Lett, 33, of North Braddock, had pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and child endangerment in the Jan. 4 fire that killed Ky'heir and Dy'heir Arthur.
Police said the boys turned on a burner on a grease-covered stove, sparking flames that soon engulfed the house. Investigators said the boys almost started a fire the previous December when they tried to cook ribs while left alone.

Purses by Lizzie benefits victims of breast cancer
| 10/11/2012, 6 a.m.
Rachel Larmond-Holmes shares profits to find the cure
Diamonds are a girls best friend, but so are purses and other personal effects. Rachel Larmond-Holmes capitalizes off the preceding creed with the philosophies of entrepreneurship, profit and philanthropy. Larmond-Holmes, 48, is a consultant for Beijo Inc. a 10-year-old fashion brand based in Santa Clarita, CA. The establishment markets a variety of accessories and purses that are designed in a variety of unique colors, styles and textures according to its web site. To distribute the items, the company solicits compassionate sales-professionals nationwide. Larmond-Holmes is one of those professionals she is the CEO of her own business under the affiliation. Her task is to purchase the products from Beijo Inc. and sell them for profit. I really love to sell the products, Larmond-Holmes said. At the same time, having this business on the side provides the extra income that I need in this struggling economy. Larmond-Holmes said that women purchase purses and effects based on style not just the brand or a high price. Part of her profits goes to breast cancer I have a flare for fashion," she said. "I love the styles that come along with looking good. People love my purses because they are beautiful and unique. You wont find any of my purses in any store. The CEO started her business last February and is optimistic about the dollars shell earn by years end. I am not where I want to be right now, but I am confident that I will do well, Larmond-Holmes said. One product of purses that Larmond-Holmes sells is the Pinky Promise. After a Pinky Promise purse is purchased, she donates 20 percent of the proceeds to the breast cancer charity Susan G. Komen for the Cure. My mom passed away with cancer, she said. Cancer is out there nowadays and the Pinky Promise is a great way to make women aware of it. The Pinky Promise purse is pink and distinct with handles that are shaped like the Breast Cancer Awareness symbol. Charlesetta Lovett, a customer of Larmond-Holmes, purchased a Pinky Promise purse. I love the purse, Lovett said. Its very durable, it lasts long and its unusual. I have a sister who had breast cancer, but I purchased it for women who suffer with cancer as a whole. Larmond-Holmes advertises through her web site and word of mouth. For more information or to host a gathering at your home, call 786-515-5423, go to her website, www.pursesbylizzy.com or e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Nigerian ordered held in Erie-based fraud case
A Nigerian national from New York City will remain incarcerated while he awaits federal prosecution in Erie on charges that he and five other Nigerians ran a multimillion-dollar identity-theft ring.
The defendant, Abiodun Bakre, 49, is the only defendant in the case to be ordered detained since he and the others were indicted in May. Two defendants remain at large, and three have been released while awaiting prosecution.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Susan Paradise Baxter today ordered Bakre detained. She agreed with Assistant U.S. Attorney Christian Trabold that Bakre is a flight risk because, among other things, "he is illegally residing and working in the United States," according to court records.
The case against Bakre and the others was filed in U.S. District Court in Erie because staff at Erie's Widget Financial detected suspected fraudulent attempts to open accounts and alerted the FBI in 2012. No local accounts were hit, but Widget's tip triggered a nationwide investigation.

In the nine months since his wrongful arrest for murder, Kenny Woods has tried fruitlessly to get a job. Even though the real culprit confessed and already has been sentenced, Woods can't convince skeptical employers to hire someone with a murder charge on his record.
After the Daily News chronicled his plight on Thursday, our readers sprang to action.
Four lawyers offered to work for free to help Woods, 22, a West Philadelphia father of two, clear the charge from his record.
The owner of a truck-driving school offered to waive the $4,000 tuition, pending a positive meet-and-greet, to teach Woods how to drive a big rig and get his commercial driver's license.

Malaysian Plane Catches Fire, Returns Safely
By PTI - KUALA LUMPUR
Published: 26th March 2014 02:22 PM
Last Updated: 26th March 2014 05:22 PM
A low-cost Malaysian plane was today forced to return to Subang Airport in Selangor state soon after taking-off when one of its engines caught fire mid air.
The Malindo Air jet en route to Malaysia's eastern coastal Kuala Terengganu returned to the airport this morning after taking off at 7.35 am (local time), a spokesman said.
He said soon after the plane took off the fire was detected and the plane returned.
The pilot immediately reacted to the urgency and switched off the affected engine, before safely landing at the Subang airport, the spokesman added.
The number of passenger on the plane were not immediately known.
On March 8, a Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, carrying 239 people, mysteriously "ended" into the Indian Ocean shortly after taking off from Kuala Lumpur.
An International search, including aircraft and ships from over 20 nations, have been hunting to locate the debris of the plane.

A pressing question concerning Portland guard Wesley Matthews loomed large Monday night, and it didn't have anything to do with whether he would emerge from pre-game warm-ups feeling confident enough about his sprained ankle to play against the Timberwolves. Given his history against them, including at Target Center, you just knew he would. Now the only thing left to wonder after the Trail Blazers' dramatic 100-98 victory is this: Just where does he want his bust placed in Springfield, Mass?

The end of November to take place again the Wendland an atom transport. This year's transport from the reprocessing plant at La Hague to Gorleben then reach. Since September, hundreds of policemen are in Wendland to vorzubereiten.Denn its annual large-scale operation of a just become all too clear in recent years: without the use of over 15,000 security forces - equipped with police clearing tanks, water throwing and allerleri other weapons - is a Tansport the Castor containers in the interim storage facility is simply not feasible. Despite these huge occupying the drive of the atomic train from France went to Germany in recent years is not trouble-free: hook claws and fire sabotaged the train, at many stations along the route tens of thousands of people gathered to blockades and rallies or chained themselves to the tracks. Autonomous executor groups blocked the supply of bulls and sabotaged so effectively their infrastructure.
There is also this year's no reason to keep your feet still. After the events in Fukushima in February, the German government was forced to their potential Wähler_Innenschaft vorzugaukeln a nuclear power phase-out, as it had shown us red-green already a few years ago. With the closure of eight power plants and the promise of a nuclear phase-out by 2022 all critics to be silenced. But we trust any government, we will not let us pacify and certainly not put off with rotten compromises. There can be no alternative to immediate shutdown of all nuclear power plants, for immediate stop of production of fuel elements, the immediate termination of the global uranium production for us. The apparent withdrawal means with their dehumanizing technology erziehlen gains nothing but a safety for operators, for at least eleven years. So day after day more damage to man and nature to be accepted. With its energy policy we will never resign ourselves because in capitalist society will never meet the needs of the people or the environmental play crucial roles. The decisive moment passed is always the amount of profit, no matter how thick the green color is applied to the billboards. We will not find peace with this exploitative system in which we should submit to us in all circumstances the "market mechanisms" instead of living responsibly with each other in a supportive community.
It is important to us to accurately take in November in Wendland forces targeting that contribute daily to the existence of these relations of domination. The convoys of police are blocked, their war machine sabotaged her soup too salty and their toilets, they should be looking forever. The rest in the barracks is not long would - break must be a Frendwort for Handlanger_Innen the nuclear industry. There are endless ways to botch the Ordnungshüter_Innen's handiwork. Just as a Castor transport to Wendland without state power would not carry out even the capitalist everyday without the same bulls is unimaginable.
The Castor is known to be a transport container designed by the GNS, a Nuclear Company, to carry high level radioactive waste. It has a tough resistance against atomic power too. However, thousands of people are protesting about the transport because they believe that it is too dangerous. The activists against the nuclear transports include not only the residents of the place where it has been operating, but also other people from around the region. Imagine, some people would travel far for the main purpose of blocking the shipment to other parts of the world. However, some government authorities would protect the transport to avoid these activists from hindering the shipment.
If we want to stop these people to transport high level of radioactive waste, then we should get involved! We should stop this dangerous activity not just to protect us in the present, but also to spare our future. We should try to form a brigade for change. We should seek for those people who are concerned with our environment. We could make our own site and share what we can do, but before that, we should use shared proxies to protect us from malicious threats. We should also protect our websites against haters!
Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing
There is an on-going debate from where we should harvest the energy that we need every day. Most people are in favor of using solar, wind, and other 'green' energy resources. While some people want to use nuclear power because it can produce at 91% efficiency rate 24/7 with virtually zero carbon emissions. However, the main problem with nuclear power is it remains radioactive. Many suggest that it can be recycled and by doing so, it would provide a huge amount of zero-carbon energy that will help us reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. But still, there are several problems with nuclear fuel reprocessing like the ease of nuclear proliferation, its expenses, and many environmental impacts. If you want to campaign against nuclear fuel reprocessing, you can do your own blog about it. Note that you should include a Privacy Policy statement. If you don't know how to create one, you can simply use a privacy policy generator.

Ben Long: So, I'm in a place that I know I have a legal right to shoot in. There are people around. I'm taking pictures of them. How do I know when I need a model release? Caroline Wright: Well, when you are taking a photograph, you have to consider whether the person has an expectation of privacy. So, if, for example, a man is sleeping on a public bench, he's visible to everybody around. You can take the man's photograph. Now, how you are going to use that photograph determines whether you're gonna need a model release. If you use that photograph for a newspapaer article about it's a beautiful sunny day and people are out enjoying the park, then you don't need a model release because that is in editorial use.
If, however, you're gonna take that same photograph and use it for an advertisement to sell park benches, then you definitely need a model release. Ben Long: Okay. So, let's say I'm somewhere and I am getting hassled by a cop or a guard or something like that and I know that I'm well within my rights, but what kind of authority do I carry? I could say, "No, I have a legal right to do this." Is there some language I can use? Do I say some Latin phrase or cite a law or something? Is there some of resource I can have at my disposal to get this guy off my back? Caroline Wright: Well, yes, absolutely. One, you could ask to speak to the person's manager or someone else higher in command, And hope that they know more.
And hope they do, especially if its a police officer. The police officer might be a novice. But, there's great resources that you can get. The ACLU has a pamphlet that talks about photographer's rights, and now this would be valid only for the United States. I know there is one for Australia as well, so you might want to check with your ACLU or similar type organization at different countries, but they have a brochure that they publish that says when a photographer can take pictures. And so it might be a great resource if you just kept that in your camera bag, and then you could show the person, whoever is hassling you, well, the ACLU says this is true, this is what I get to do.
There's an attorney. His name is Burt Krages. Burt is a great attorney talking about photographer's rights, and he has a 1-page sheet that will help you as a photographer and, hopefully, maybe somebody who is hassling you, to understand what rights you have to shoot and whether somebody can delete your photos and that sort of thing. And then there's one other great resource that I know about. If you're going to be photographing on federal lands, there's actually public laws that talk about when somebody can photograph on property and when a permit is needed, so carrying a copy of that public law or statue with you also is a good resource.
Ben Long: These are short enough things that I could just keep them in my bag and have them at my disposal? Caroline Wright: Yes. Ben Long: So then I guess it's back to just the common sense question of, "Is this worth fighting for?" or is it wise to go to the biker gang that is hassling you and say, "Well, it's here. Let's talk photo law." (laughing) CarolineA funny story was that there was a photographer who was actually arrested for photographing in the New York Subway System. The funny thing is that he was taking pictures to enter into Amtrak's photo contest, so Amtrak was encouraging people to take pictures of their train yet the security guard said, "No, you can't and you're going to jail." (laughing) Ben Long: So, someone didn't get the memo and he ends up, yeah...
Caroline Wright: He didn't, but he did get out of jail with a "get out of jail free card."
Photographer Ben Long and attorney Carolyn Wright discuss legal considerations ranging from where you can and can't take pictures to getting signed releases for people and property. Plus, learn about respecting trademarks when shooting commercial work, and your rights as a photographer when dealing with security and law-enforcement personnel.

A woman scorned
It's a proud moment for a reporter to learn that his or her work has driven some crooked bureaucrat to Nixonesque levels of paranoia.
So Buzz was touched to read the deposition of Freda Jinks, the Dallas schools administrative assistant turned cheese-eater whose ratting led former superintendent Yvonne Gonzalez to plead guilty to felonious furniture shopping. According to Jinks, Gonzalez at one point asked her to check phone system records to sniff out which DISD bureaucrats were calling the Dallas Observer.
We're honored, of course, but why us?
Did press advisor Robert Hinkle tell Gonzalez that was how they handled nettlesome reporters when he worked as a consultant for Kuwait? Did she get angry when Buzz derided The Dallas Morning News description of the meaty superintendent as "petite"? Did Buzz fail to pick on former DISD board president Bill Keever enough? Or was it just that her mascara was smudged when we ran her photo on the cover?
We'll ask her next time she calls us back.

Objection! He's rolling his eyes!
Dallas criminal defense attorney Tom Mills is not in the habit of sitting around while his clients do all the talking. But that will, in all likelihood, be the case when he attempts to represent Rick McLaren, the bad-will Ambassador of the Republic of Texas. Mills learned the other day that he's been appointed to represent McLaren, whether McLaren wants him to or not.
In his forthcoming Dallas case, McLaren is on the hook for 25 counts of federal bank fraud, mail fraud, and conspiracy charges related to a bogus-check scheme he allegedly cooked up with a couple of Dallas guys. If he gets the max, he could be sentenced to 725 years in a federal pen.
The voluble McLaren, who would rather harangue judges with his novel theories of Texas history than save his own skin, doesn't believe in lawyers. He has steadfastly refused court-appointed counsel. So Mills isn't certain if any actual lawyering will be required, or whether he will just be required to sit there.
"I don't know whether I have a speaking part," he says. "I might have to do most of my advocacy to the jury with eye movements."
Insult to injury
Last week's Buzz item about the prospects for peace on Swiss Avenue had an embarrassing error--we misspelled DISD spokesman Jon Dahlander's first name.
This is particularly embarrassing because the last time Dahlander--a pianist and composer who recently recorded a CD--appeared in Buzz, we compared his music to that of John Tesh. Apparently, this is some sort of insult to pianists. Go figure.
Buzz apologizes to Mr. Dahlander and assures him that we hold him in the same high regard as other fine Dallas school administrators.

Tom Hicks' California Gold Rush
It took Tom Hicks long enough to develop the land around the Ballpark in Arlington -- about a decade, more or less, and I do mean less if you've seen the unimpressive torn-up parking lots out in Arlington. But you can't say Hicks is slow on the draw elsewhere -- say, in the Los Angeles area, where his Hicks Holdings is in play to build lofts, office towers and a friggin' retail district near Angel Stadium, where the city of Anaheim wants to put a football stadium should the city ever get an NFL franchise (un-like-ly).
Reports the registration-required Los Angeles Times today, Anaheim officials late Tuesday said three developers -- Hicks Holdings, Windstar Communities and Archstone-Smith and Hines -- were still being considered to develop the land around the baseball field. "All three have options to build housing, which cannot be constructed without the permission of the Angels under terms of the team's 1996 stadium lease," reports the paper.
Hicks' bid, it says, "calls for apartments, offices, shops, a parking garage and a 400-room hotel." That's similar to what Hicks Holding's supposed to be doing near the ballpark and the Dallas Stars' practice facility. About time, right.
Then again, Hicks probably has more interest in his California gold rush than in growing the land in Arlington: "The site is desirable not only because of its proximity to Angel Stadium and the Honda Center arena," reports the Times, but also because it is close to Disneyland." What? Six Flags ain't good enough for ya, Mr. Hicks? --Robert Wilonsky

Most new investors typically tend to focus on the companies with the highest dividend yields. I am often being asked why I never write about companies such as Hatteras Financial (HTS) or American Agency (AGNC), each of which yields 16% and 19% respectively. While some of my holdings are higher yielding companies, I typically tend to invest in stocks with strong competitive advantages, which have achieved a balance between the need to finance their growth and the need to pay their shareholders.
After looking at my portfolio, I have been able to identify three types of dividend stocks.
The first type is high yield stocks with low to no dividend growth.
Realty Income (O) (analysis)
Enbridge Energy Partners (EEP)
Kinder Morgan Partner (KMP) (analysis)
Consolidated Edison (ED) (analysis)
It is important not to fall in the trap of excessive high yields, caused by the market's perceptions that the dividend is in peril. Recent examples of this included some of the financial companies such as Bank of America (BAC). While current dividend income is important, these stocks would produce little in capital gains over time.
The second type is low yielding stocks with a high dividend growth rate.
Wal-Mart (WMT) (analysis)
Aflac (AFL) (analysis)
Colgate Palmolive (CL) (analysis)
Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) (analysis)
Family Dollar (FDO) (analysis)
One of the issues with this type of strategy is that it might take a longer time to achieve a decent yield on cost on your investment. It is difficult to achieve a double digit dividend growth rate forever. Once you achieve an adequate yield on cost on your investment, it might slow down dividend increases. The positive side of this strategy is that many of the best dividend growth stocks such as Wal-Mart (WMT) or McDonald's (MCD) never really yielded more than 2%-3% when they first joined the Dividend Achievers index. The main positive of this strategy is the possibility of achieving strong capital gains.
The third type is represented by companies with an average yield and an average dividend growth. Some investors call this the sweet spot of dividend investing.
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) (analysis)
Procter & Gamble (PG) (analysis)
Clorox (CLX) (analysis)
Pepsi Co (PEP) (analysis)
Automatic Data Processing (ADP) (analysis)
There is a common misconception that buying the stocks in the middle, would produce average returns. Actually finding stocks with average market yields, which also produce a good dividend growth could produce not only exceptional yield on cost faster, but also capital gains as well.
At the end of the day successful dividend investing is much more than finding the highest yielding stocks. It is more about finding the stocks with sustainable competitive advantages which allow them to enjoy strong earnings growth, which would be the foundation of sustainable dividend growth. A company like Procter & Gamble (PG) which yields almost 3% today butraises dividends at 10% annually would double your yield on cost in 7 years to 6%. A company like Con Edison (ED) would likely yield around 6% on cost in 7 years. The main difference would be capital gains – Procter & Gamble (PG) would likely still yield 3%, while Con Edison (ED) would likely yield 6%. Thus the investor in Procter & Gamble would have most likely doubled their money in less than a decade, while also enjoying a rising stream of dividend income.
