On Tuesday, the nation's second-biggest bank by assets suddenly had the "greatest potential growth trajectory…of any large cap bank we cover," KBW told clients in a new research note.
The report also came with a new rating: "outperform," or the equivalent of "buy the stock right now."
It wasn't a burst of optimism that changed KBW's tune. On Friday, the New York securities firm's takeover by Stifel Financial Corp. SF +0.78% Stifel Financial Corp. U.S.: NYSE $45.09 +0.35 +0.78% Oct. 24, 2014 4:04 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 157,654 AFTER HOURS $45.09 0.00 % Oct. 24, 2014 4:52 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 7,163 P/E Ratio 14.09 Market Cap $2.94 Billion Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee $1,507,580 10/20/14 Stifel Financial to Hire Two F... 09/17/14 Two Brokerages to Keep New Mon... 09/10/14 Stock Analysts Seek Upgrade by... More quote details and news » for $640 million was completed. As part of the deal, the St. Louis-based acquirer inherited KBW's well-known name, solid reputation and small army of research analysts.
In some instances where the combined firm wound up with two research analysts covering the same stock, Stifel executives picked the one who came from Stifel.
When the two bank-stock research teams were combined Tuesday, at least eight Stifel analysts had become KBW analysts, and at least two high-profile KBW analysts lost their jobs. A few Stifel analysts were bounced, too. The company wouldn't disclose the total job cuts.
And KBW did a turnabout on several U.S. banks. Because the Stifel analysts essentially brought their recommendations with them, KBW boosted its ratings on 11 stocks, including Bank of America and Wells Fargo WFC +1.19% Wells Fargo & Co. U.S.: NYSE $51.20 +0.60 +1.19% Oct. 24, 2014 4:00 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 10.61M AFTER HOURS $51.25 +0.05 +0.10% Oct. 24, 2014 7:54 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 283,218 P/E Ratio 12.31 Market Cap $263.88 Billion Dividend Yield 2.73% Rev. per Employee $335,168 10/23/14 Wirehouses' Fee Shift Paying O... 10/21/14 Wells Fargo Banks on European ... 10/15/14 Market Tumult Squeezes Big Ban... More quote details and news » & Co. Seven companies wound up with lower ratings.
"I was really wondering what their reasoning was," said Frank Barkocy, a longtime Merrill Lynch banking analyst who now is research director at hedge-fund firm Mendon Capital Advisors Corp. in Rochester, N.Y.
Bank of America and Wells declined to comment.
"We put what we thought was the best team on the field for KBW," said Ronald J. Kruszewski, Stifel's chairman, president and chief executive.
On Wells Fargo, for example, KBW now thinks shares of the San Francisco bank "should trade at a premium" to other big banks. Before the takeover, the brokerage firm officially viewed the stock as "not compelling."
SunTrust Banks Inc. STI +0.86% SunTrust Banks Inc. U.S.: NYSE $37.41 +0.32 +0.86% Oct. 24, 2014 4:01 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2.58M AFTER HOURS $37.41 0.00 % Oct. 24, 2014 4:51 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 71,857 P/E Ratio 11.27 Market Cap $19.56 Billion Dividend Yield 2.14% Rev. per Employee $320,536 10/17/14 Financial Briefing Book 10/17/14 SunTrust Profit Surges on Grow... 10/16/14 U.S. to Boost Security for Gov... More quote details and news » was making "real progress" at cost cutting, KBW said before being bought by Stifel. KBW then lowered its rating on the Atlanta bank, saying it needs to prove "us wrong on its ability to drive down expenses."
SunTrust declined to comment.
It isn't unusual for the seller to bear the brunt of job cuts after being sold to a bigger company. When analysts move between firms, they usually take their ratings with them. So, in mergers, analysts either tend to hit the road or keep their previous calls on stocks.
Stifel pledged when announcing the takeover in November that the best parts of KBW would stick around, especially its expertise in financial services.
"We are not going to integrate away the best of what KBW is about," Mr. Kruszewski said in November. "We will keep KBW research separate, and the equity sales force will be maintained."
KBW now is a unit of Stifel and led by Thomas Michaud, KBW's chief executive when the firm negotiated its sale to Stifel.
In an interview Wednesday, Mr. Kruszewski said of the ratings changes: "Analysts have independent views, and the fact they don't have the same ones should be no surprise."
Research analysts at KBW, which started in 1962 and endured the deaths of more than one-third of its New York employees in the Sept, 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, now cover about 400 financial-services companies.
Stifel makes recommendations on about 1,000 stocks in industries ranging from transportation to coal mining to household products.
While KBW analysts are closely tracked by bank-focused investors, Stifel analysts have a broader following with general-interest investors, analysts said.
David Konrad, the KBW analyst with a tepid view of Bank of America before the Stifel takeover was completed, has left the combined securities firm, a KBW spokesman said. The firm's big-bank analyst now is Christopher Mutascio, who came from Stifel.
Mr. Konrad couldn't be reached for comment.

It's an excellent topic and it's well presented, I'm sure my Chinese kids would enjoy it. Although it's not much use to me because I don't have access to the books.
I look to this site for material that I can download and use right away without any complications, depends which country you are in I suppose.
These are useful - and adaptable .....and gives me ideas for other activities
can we get the books as projectables as can't seem to find books in UAE?

Still the best fillet knife I have ever owned and still love and treasure is the original Uncle Henry Schrade USA167 Very easy steel to work with, holds an edge plus last a life time. This blade with me keeping it razor sharp on a stone and Steele is priceless not even sure Schrade is still made in the USA
But this post is about the electric knife….from an old fart's stand point, please keep that in mind
I used a Mr. Twister since they came out, must of have been in my 20's. It finally puked when I hit 50 Now being the proud owner of the Rapala electric knife and having a good number of fish fry's cleaned with it…..here are my findings.
Using either knife……let the blades do the work, if your forcing the cut, you are screwing up the filet
The Twister has a faster RPM to the blade which I miss and, I never noticed the motor to heat up. Exactly why it lasted forever! Heat is not good on electric motors
My findings with a comfortable number of fish using the Rapala has some good points along with some issues….IMO
I don't like the release button for the blades on top of the handle, this is where my thumb should be to guide the knife.
I don't like the way the motor heats up, 8 fish and I feel it needs a break. Heat kills electric motor life so…anyone have one still running after 15years….. that would be good news to my ears
I didn't think I would like the pointed blades…wrong, that is a good selling point for me now. Zips out belly bones like a charm Much better than the Mr. Twister.
They both zip the meat off the skin just fine but like mentioned before, the twister is faster!!!
Being left handed, my first filet comes with the back of the fish facing me. I also noticed it helps a lot to keep the cutting board in position at the very edge of your work station. It helps a great deal to be able to get the handle of your electric filet knife parallel with your cuts.
The Rapala I received from the wife (the one I want is yellow and green honey ) came as a Rapala with case. So far it has treated me well, just sharing what I have found to be different between the 2.
With all that crap said….it's what you are use too, what last, and your style.
Mine would be Old Style
Chime in electric dudes It's the wave of the future

life is beautiful.
i'll give you my love, i'll give you my happiness, i'll give you everything that i could give… if you took the time to figure me out. if you took the time to figure me out, i would fall in love with you.
Why wasn't I good enough for you? Not good enough to call me back to just hang out. Not good enough to hold a conversation with. I'm nice, I know I'm nice but what's wrong with me that I can't keep a boy around for longer than a few hours. Then they say good bye and they don't talk to me for a whole month until they want to hangout for just a few other hours. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it, I set myself up for these things. Still going to hang out with them when they don't even talk to me anymore. I like that they do eventually though. It makes me feel wanted, but pshh. I want to feel wanted all the time. I'm done setting myself up for this. I'm not running back to you like I always do, hoping that this time something more will come out of those few hours that I'm with you. Fuck you, I learned my lesson. You weren't worth number 3 tool.
The people who surround me make me happy 99% of the time. I don't care how much you make me mad or sad or disappointed because all of the times when I'm happy with you overrules every single bad time that has happened. Thank you for walking into my life. Please don't plan on walking out anytime soon.
I hate the cold, I feel like because I hate the cold so much that it effects my mood. I'm more happy when it's warm. GRR. Make it warm. Make me happy.

AT&T Park had a Coors Field-esque feeling on Tuesday night. The Giants and Rockies combined for three home runs, but more Coors Field-like, the Rockies came roaring back from a 6-0 deficit in the fourth inning, coughed up the lead in the eighth, but took it back over in the ninth.
The key cog in Colorado's comeback? Michael Cuddyer: two home runs, three RBI.
Not to be outdone by a fellow right fielder, Hunter Pence produced six RBI, three on a three-run blast in the first inning, one on a fourth-inning double and two on a game-tying, two-run single in the eighth.
Cuddyer, however, got the last laugh. His ninth-inning solo home run off Sergio Romo gave the Rockies a 9-8 lead after Pence tied the game. Earlier, Cuddyer's fifth-inning blast inched the Rockies to within one run, 5-6.
Ryan Vogelsong's final line doesn't scream dominance, and he wasn't. But through four innings, he had allowed no runs against three scattered hits. Then came the fifth inning. With fluctuating effectiveness on his off-speed pitches, the Rockies tagged Vogelsong for five hits, equating to five runs.
Nolan Arenado's single started it all. Arenado was sent back to the dugout after Charlie Blackmon grounded into a fielder's choice. The wheels hadn't merely started spinning for the Rockies yet, as Jordan Pacheco doubled. Chris Dickerson and D. J. LeMahieu both collected RBI singles to slowly erase the Giants' lead.
The real punch was, of course, Cuddyer's three-run homer that traveled halfway up the bleachers. Bruce Bochy, pacing around the dugout, elected to keep Vogelsong in the game. Even after Troy Tulowitzki whacked a line drive to a leaping Pablo Sandoval before Cuddyer dug in, Bochy didn't go to the bullpen, instead keeping Vogelsong's leaking arsenal in the game.
Jose Mijares replaced Vogelsong in the sixth, but Mijares didn't last long. He tossed three pitches and yielded a single to Todd Helton before Bochy trotted out to the mound, calling on Jean Machi to stop the bleeding. He didn't.
Charlie Blackmon doubled, scoring Helton, who advanced to second on Arenado's sacrifice bunt. Pinch-hitting for Rob Scahill, Ryan Wheeler plated Blackmon with an RBI single. Machi induced a pop out before walking LeMahieu, which prompted Bochy to make another move.
George Kontos got the call this time. He carefully pitched around Tulowitzki to load up the bases. And up came Cuddyer with a chance to throw a harder punch, but he grounded out to Kontos.
Brandon Belt led off the sixth with a walk. Buster Posey struck out, but Pence chopped a slow roller to Arenado, who couldn't get a good feel on the ball. With runners on first and second, Sandoval sharply lined out to left, and Joaquin Arias grounded out to third.
The same situation surfaced before the Rockies' big fifth, and it included the same result–a weak groundout to third base.
As the Giants coughed up opportunities, the Rockies added a run in the eighth inning on LeMahieu's sharply hit sacrifice fly off Jake Dunning.
Vogelsong ended up giving up five runs on eight hits in five innings. His five innings of work didn't include any strikeouts, though. It also didn't include many intimidating heaters, as the righty's fastball barely topped 89 mph.
The latter portion of Pence's career night was most significant. After Scutaro singled and Belt doubled, Buster Posey's ground ball to third base couldn't get the job done. That left it up to Pence, and he blooped a soft fly ball into shallow center field, scoring both Scutaro and Belt.

Only From The Heart | New Mixed Media Nixie painting
When I'll finally dare making a video tour of my Teal Studio, you will see how much «old» paintings I have around. Waiting to be reworked.
This is how this painting started. I started by rolling some white acrylic paint over with my brayer, but leaving some of the color showing through here and there. It brings such a good feeling of freedom. Starting anew.
Lately, I have been thinking a lot about where I want to go. With my career as an artist. With my family life. With my body image. Which lead me to this realization: I can get there only by sticking to a CREATIVE DAILY PRACTICE. And with something that feels huge to me: SURRENDER.
This painting was totally me being in the flow and going with what was there, and making it work (any of you who tried to paint over this amazing Midnight color of Dylusions spray knows this is a biatch and so damn hard to do anything on top. Love it, still, but learning along the way. Thanks Samie Kira for the tip ;)).
She was in her boat, and her cloud was actually a wave when I began painting it, but then it became a cloud and then another one appeared, and another one. They are subtle and I like that.
You can't see, but the Moon is filled with nice silver fine glitter.
This Nixie is looking for a new loving home: go to my shop for more infos.
Most Days | New {Art Journaling In Motion} video
This is a quick video this week. Sharing how easy it can be to make a spread in your art journal without any crazy supplies.
As I say in the video, I use my art journal as a mirror of who I am at a precise moment (the one I stop everything, step in the Studio, open the journal and do something in it).
You know I love me some new supplies to play. So when Lindy Stamp Gang released their new kind of sprays, I could let it pass. They are in the Flat Fabio line, meaning there is no shimmer in it. However, they are more opaque, so more opaque. I really love experimenting with them and I'm already impatient for new colors in this kind of sprays.
Here is the video, I hope you'll enjoy watching my process:
Here is the supplies I used in this video (the journal is one I made myself years ago):
Do I really have to let them go ?
I am attached to every single one of my paintings this year. But there are some that I just can't seem to let go and propose to you.
This is the case of Antonia, that I recently shared with you here. And this Nixie too, that has no name for now (she will share it with me later, I am not afraid).
It all began with a piece of round hardboard I found in my stash of stuff. Yes, I do rediscover things I had no idea where there… I covered it with scrapbook papers and tissue papers. I love adding crackle medium (I use the one from Kroma, which is local from here in Vancouver but can be found worldwide now). Once dry, I then I cleaned my palette from another painting on it, and it looked like this:
I really really wanted to use the technique taught by the amazing Mindy Lacefield in one of her online class, it became this (can you tell that at this point, I wass all lovey-dovey and could have easily left it like it was ? yes.):
I wish a picture could convey the amazingness that this step brought to the all thing. I ran my fingers over it, again and again (I am weird like that), finding the crevasses, the bumps of my signature texture that I created all around on the border, the cracks from the crackle media…
I sketched a little something I wanted to paint for my daughter's room (it involves a unicorn, kind of) but for some reason I don't know, it is not what appeared.
I am taking Willowing (Tam Laporte)'s class, LifeBook 2014, and this week is a lesson by another of my Kindred: Danielle Daniel. It inspired me so much that I decided to use this beautiful background instead of my journal.
I know she is FAR from being perfect, but I don't mind. It does not bother me at all, in fact.
New play in my art journal
I am going back to it more and more. After more sketching in dedicated sketchbooks, I am now playing again in my art journals (I have two in which I paint at the moment).
(you can watch me create this spread from start to finish on my Youtube channel)
Are you an art journaler too ?
«Today, I…» | new {Art Journaling In Motion} video
This week, I decided to come back in my journal and put stamps as the heroes of my spread.
I love using Mindy's girl stamp when I feel lazy and really appreciate the fact that is usually is a starting point for me to then «Nixie-fy» as I feel.
Here is the video, I hope you will enjoy it (please if you have any comment or question, don't be shy !):
This Nixie seemed a little sad, I felt like she needed a companion she could lean on, to help her bear her heavy heart. I can't tell you what kind of animal this Sprixie is, I let you decided.
Look at the amazing shimmer that the Magical Micas are bringing to her hair and face. I simple love it !
I love using embossing powders, fell in love with them all over again. And I just wish this constellation stamp was slightly bigger, but I enjoy it anyway !
Not all the products are here, but you can see the supply I played with for this spread (click to be redirected to a detailed page):

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have released new data from the Vital Signs initiative, reporting that nearly one-third of annual deaths in the US are caused by heart disease and stroke. Many of these—at least 200,000—deaths may be preventable, according to the CDC, with changes to lifestyle habits, such as quitting smoking, increasing physical activity, and reducing salt intake; community changes to improve living spaces, such as safe places to exercise and smoke-free areas; and managing high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
Alarmingly, Vital Signs also reports that 6 out of 10 heart disease and stroke deaths occur in individuals under the age of 65. Blacks are nearly twice as likely as whites to die early from heart disease and stroke, and black men have the highest risk of death overall.
For health care systems and providers, Vital Signs offers the following strategies:

RE: XLinks
Bush designed conceptually for the time and technology he knew. The concepts have proven to be independent of that time (just as Goldfarb notes that medieval and scholastic glosses are the "original hyperlink concepts"). When any of you go to see the new Time Machine movie, note the familiar look of Babbage's Differential Analyzer in the controls of the movie time machine. Nice touch for a New Yorker. ;-) I agree that the concept of the shared trail, or the sharable set of navigation links is very useful. XLink as the independent links of Hytime make that possible but few take advantage of it. That suggests to me that link sharing in the current mass hypermedia (the web) can achieve that by other means (see the reference lists at the ends of some mails) and that no further compelling or ubiquitous requirements have emerged. Again, not yet. Many things considered YAGNI in one effort become de jure in another. XLinks may not have come to their time. len -----Original Message----- From: W. Hugh Chatfield I.S.P. [mailto:hchatfield@u...] Hmmm... I have access to the WWW.. I have an SQL database... I am aware of the need to multiply link resources on the WWW.. perhaps first described in Vannevar Bush's "As We May Think" article in Atlantic Monthly 1945 - where he envisioned the creation of an external "named trail" that could be shared (although he saw it as linking microfilm frames - but same difference - it was 1945 after all) ( see http://www.itworldcanada.com/portals/portalDisplay.cfm?oid=452AE6D8-0D81-414 3-8F41E0F3C47AEA41...) Yet I still can't build and share these links... Building would take a bit of programming but it seems to me that the sharing part insists on some level of abstraction completely divorced from the underlying implementation technologies. A document I create in "Electric Pencil" can't easily be shared - but if I could save it as XML, then it can more easily. A "Vannevar Trail" I create using some local code using a relational DB system can't be easily shared - but if I could save it as XLink, then it can more easily. So I think you are right... XLink may only be a convenient transport layer (in the same way XML may only be a convenient transport layer for content). Ted Nelson (although he thinks XML is a mistake http://www.xml.com/pub/a/w3j/s3.nelson.html) considered the visible display of links to be of some importance (see http://xanadu.com/cosmicbook/ ). Methinks he is right as well. The real problem seems to be what to do with these things - how to share them - how to process them - how to display them .. not what particular underlying technology could be used for implementation. Cheers...Hugh W. Hugh Chatfield I.S.P. CyberSpace Industries 2000 Inc. XML Consulting & Training -----Original Message----- From: Bullard, Claude L (Len) [mailto:clbullar@i...] Sent: Friday, March 15, 2002 9:23 AM To: 'Leigh Dodds'; xml-dev Subject: XLinks On reading Bob DuCharme's article on "XLinks, Who Cares?" I am struck that he leaves out the argument that is to me a primary reason XLink isn't taking off. Many of us use relational systems on the server that handle metadata relationships in tables. Many of the tasks that an XLink database is good for can be easily handled with a table that contains URLs as database types. Maybe I am just getting foggy in my dotage, but do we need Xlinks if we use relational dbs and if so, for what other than perhaps a convenient transport representation? len ----------------------------------------------------------------- The xml-dev list is sponsored by XML.org <http://www.xml.org>, an initiative of OASIS <http://www.oasis-open.org> The list archives are at http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/ To subscribe or unsubscribe from this list use the subscription manager: <http://lists.xml.org/ob/adm.pl>

Mississippi State is headed to the Liberty Bowl to play Rice!
MSU has been given 16,000 tickets to sell. It is important that you buy your tickets from MSU because…
- We guarantee 16K to be sold, so the athletic department is going to eat them if they aren't all sold
- It looks really good when we sell out our bowl allotment, especially in the future when bigger bowls are deciding if they want MSU or someone else
- Just do it. Here is where you need to go to order them.
Cowbells are allowed!
This will be the 4th straight bowl game for Mississippi State – something that has never happened before in our history (although the 1997 team was robbed of one). Congrats to Coach Mullen, staff and players for the accomplishment.
Gametime will be on December 31, 2013 at 3:00 CST. It will be broadcast by ESPN.
Here is video of the press conference to announce the bowl…
If you'd rather read the interesting comments, here is an article for that.
- MSU is a 9.5 point favorite in the game.
- This is State's 4th trip to the Liberty Bowl, we are 2-1 so far.
- MSU is 16-4 in the Liberty Bowl stadium (15-3 vs. Memphis)
- Gabe Jackson will be the first Mississippi State player to ever start four bowl games

Personal Statement
My passion for soccer began at age 4. I always loved the game and concentrated on soccer in school, up to Varsity Soccer throughout high school where I helped Park Vista High reach further than they ever had in their history. I have also played Travel soccer for 8 years and have made an impact. I am also currently the Captain of my Travel team. My dream is to play professional soccer. I am looking to be a starter on a college team where I can stand out and help the team become National Champions! I spend time every day improving my skills and I take the game seriously. Soccer is a challenge which I welcome.
I am a student/player looking to transfer that played at Fisher College and started every game as a freshman. I was all tournament preseason team at the preseason tournament we went to and was a big leader on the soccer team. I had 5 assists and helped the team to the best record in school history but the school wasn't the right fit for me so I am looking to bring my talents to a new team to help win a National Championship. I also have a 3.1 GPA in academics in College.
I am driven and goal oriented, with strong communication skills. I have put so much of my energy into soccer because I love to play, to win, and to meet players from around the world who play and have the same love of the game as I do. I enjoy training and helping others learn the game as well. I am also looking at Sports Management or Communications as a direction to follow where I can apply my skills and experience. I believe in building out of the back and playing simple. I can play comfortably in the positions Right back, left back, right mid, left mid and defensive mid. I'm very aggressive to the ball and then like to calm it down so our team can build out of the back.

The Girl Is A Mom
I suffer from extreme anxiety. Extreme. I normally handle this very well and if I didn't mention it, you wouldn't have known. The weird thing is, for some inexplicable reason, it manifests itself as travel anxiety. It's very difficult to explain what that means. I am not worried about anything at all. In fact, I'm a seasoned traveler. I don't think there will be anything out of the ordinary at all but i'm anxious. It starts days in advance as a knot in my stomach. I can't eat as much. I pace more. I plan and make lists but it doesn't seem to make the anxiety subside.
I always thought I had a strong personal style. I've never been on the cutting edge of trendy fashion or anything, but I knew who I was. My entire life has been spent dressing accordingly. My clothing choices were a point of much amusement for peers when I was a kid. I got teased a lot. I held my head up and didn't waiver in my style. Ironically "Hipster" is now a thing, I'm pretty certain that is how I dressed in elementary school.
There is no way that you don't know that a year ago Boston was shaken to it's core because of bombings at the Boston Marathon Finish Line. It was national news but more importantly it was our local news. You never wake up expecting that your city will be faced with something so terrible.
The difference between local news and national news though, is that even when the rest of the country wasn't actively thinking about the Boston Marathon of 2013, here at home we thought of it everyday. Everyday we thought about the victims. Everyday we collectively watched as those physically and mentally injured, healed.
There have been a lot of tears in Boston this year.
Yesterday, the third Monday of April 2014, like every third Monday before it for the past 118 years; was Marathon Monday.

Regeneration work on a large part of Doncaster town centre is continuing well, with Mayor of Doncaster Ros Jones visiting new housing development 'The Gables' to see progress first hand.
Doncaster Council and its development partner Muse Developments have overseen significant changes to the landscape of the town, with the transformation of the £300million Civic and Cultural Quarter (CCQ) forging ahead. Several developments are already complete as part of the project, including new Civic offices, Cast – a state of the art performance venue, and widespread improvements to public spaces in the Waterdale area.
Now, a key part of the next stage of improvements, 'The Gables', has been visited by Mayor of Doncaster Ros Jones as building work continues. The site, a new housing development in Doncaster's town centre, comprises 54 new high-quality properties including one, two and three bedroomed homes designed with a range of buyers in mind. The first phase of homes are now complete with several properties already sold and strong interest from potential buyers.
Mayor of Doncaster Ros Jones was delighted by the high quality of the homes on display. She said: 'We need more housing in Doncaster and The Gables development will provide excellent town-centre accommodation for local residents, adding to the superb work being carried out to regenerate the wider area.
'The quality of the existing Waterdale developments, including the new civic offices and Cast, speak for themselves. It is great to visit The Gables and discover that this excellent standard has been maintained. The calibre of the homes here will help to attract a wide array of residents and will play a key part in the vibrant future of this area.'
The Gables features a selection of ecologically-designed homes built in an area of Doncaster which is set to benefit from continued regeneration in the coming years. The superb standard of work and high quality finish evidenced by completed CCQ developments are matched by the exceptional homes in The Gables.
Adds Dan Needham, Regional Development Director at MUSE: 'It is good to have moments like this to reflect on what our partnership with Doncaster Council has achieved and today's tour was a great opportunity to showcase the quality and variety of the homes here which have really struck a chord with a range of buyers in Doncaster. The last year has marked a significant milestone for the cultural and civic quarter in the town centre with the opening of Cast and the launch of The Gables, and has successfully maintained the momentum of the CQQ, building on the delivery of Phase One. The Waterdale area of Doncaster has been transformed into a thriving new neighbourhood and, having planted the seeds, we look forward to seeing a new community here flourish.'
Located close to the Waterdale development, and within walking distance of the railway station and town centre, The Gables offers an ideal location for everyone from first-time buyers and young professionals to those who simply wish to benefit from the convenience of town centre living in a new build home.

Marketing Perspectives — what kind of marketer are you?
Following on from this year's Marketing Perspectives report, published in March 2014, SAS and Marketing Week have identified five different types of marketer based on channel use, confidence in their own ability, and how much they spend on each channel.
Where are you on the spectrum from traditional media such as TV and outdoor through to webinars and cutting-edge social media at the other?
Which channel does each type of marketer claim as its own, and where does their confidence in using the channel lag behind how much they spend?

Improve your business performance: why meaningful data is more important than big data
Any business looking to sell more, spend less or build better customer relationships first needs to understand how their organisation really operates. By far the most accurate way of doing this is by analysing data.
However, business intelligence is failing and big data has become a catch-all term that is irrelevant to many companies. What decision makers really need is meaningful data.
Our white paper explains how meaningful, relevant data can help solve business problems, optimise performance and make accurate predictions about future behaviour.
Connect the dots for a 360-degree view
Thanks to fast-advancing technologies, you can now know a lot about customers and prospects. This essay tackles the challenge of how to make sense of the data you have in order to create a rich, accurate and actionable perspective of the customer.
In search of the next great data artist
A clash of cultures is emerging in British marketing, but creative and data-focused people can help each other improve. Read this essay to discover three key things creatives and statos can learn from each other.
Four reasons why your business needs real-time customer intelligence
Today's connected customers are demanding personalised experiences on different devices and channels. Organisations are therefore under pressure to handle data in real time and traditional approaches are struggling to keep pace. This white paper examines a fresh approach for harnessing customer data in real time and the four major opportunities that this delivers.
Data centric web and mobile development
Many businesses are finding that their web and mobile applications aren't providing the long-term solution they were hoping for. As consumers provide more and more useful data, these digital platforms don't allow businesses to take advantage of the huge opportunities that data presents.
Our new white paper details the practical steps you can take to supercharge your web and mobile application development and stay ahead of the data revolution.
Why marketers need data visualisation
Albert Einstein once said: 'Information is not knowledge.' If it were, we would all be marketing geniuses. As it is, most marketing organisations are awash in information in the form of customer data (demographic, socioeconomic, geopolitical, behavioral, transactional, etc), but it is often stored in a variety of systems and formats, and scattered among departmental silos. What is lacking from this information surplus are the insights needed to make the best marketing decisions.
Ten ways to a customer-centric, data-driven business strategy
People have been capturing data from sales transactions for ages. Even the ancient Mesopotamians recorded the prices and quantities of their transactions. But there is a missing element in those records. That's all the back and forth — the to and fro — that goes on between buyer and seller in terms of negotiation, tone, emotion, motivation and sentiment. Of course, many businesses today recognise the value of unstructured data. But how many can share it across their organisations — and use it to continually improve customer experiences and create better, more relevant products?
What should you tell customers about how you're using data?
If you're a senior manager launching a big-data initiative, you should start by asking three simple, high-level questions to guide your organisation's data collection strategy. How transparent will we be about the data we use to make decisions? How accessible and usable do we want our data products to be? Are there win-win partnerships that will help us be smarter about our data?
Marketing analytics: how, why and what's next
A collection of essays including 'What the C-Suite should know about analytics', 'Marketers flunk the big data test' and 'Intelligent advertising'.
The new rainmakers: CMOs' drive to deliver business value
The new watchword for chief marketing officers (CMOs) is accountability. Disruptions to the traditional marketing model, driven by the rise of digital channels and a wealth of customer and market data, have increased pressure on CMOs and their marketing teams to deliver more measurable return on marketing investments (ROMI). In other words, the challenge at hand is to create more explicit links between marketing activities and business value.
Outside looking in: the CMO struggles to get in sync with the C-Suite
Chief marketing officers have a problem. Nearly two decades ofter the CMO title first nudged its way into the C-suite, many organisations still have trouble defining the CMO's role and responsibilities. A global Economist Intelligence Unit survey, sponsored by SAS, found that many organisations are misaligned on marketing's mandate, particularly its contribution to areas outside of the function's traditional purview, such as product development, retail and customer service. Leadership teams are especially out of sync, with gaps between the CMO and the rest of the C-suite spreading uncertainty across the entire organisation.
Customer intelligence tames the big data challenge
Even though companies today have limited resources, they still desire significant growth. Companies are also able to access more types of data and a greater volume of data than ever before, including real-time data from the Internet and social media. By mining this 'big data', companies can develop insights and identify micromarkets that represent opportunities for growth.
Big data's biggest role — aligning the CMO and CIO
Discussions about the dynamic between chief marketing officer (CMO) and chief information officer (CIO) have often centred around the technologies being implemented in this age of digital engagement. However, as organisations realise the importance of delivering on a more customer-centric overall business strategy, big data has emerged as the real glue that has permanently cemented the relationship between the two offices.
The CMO Council and SAS set out to better understand the key challenges, opportunities and requirements that both CMOs and CIOs were facing in their journey to develop a more customer-centric enterprise.
Getting all your data from everywhere and sticking it all in one place
How do you get your Big Data project under way? Who needs to be involved? What is a Single Customer View? This practical white paper provides information and guidance for marketing to help plan a Big Data project, while also examining the benefits of moving from CRM to a Single Customer View. Follow our eight steps to ensure Big Data success.
Embrace the small data philosophy
Large organisations are in love with the idea of big data, yet many companies lack a clear vision for rolling out big data analytics in practical, measured steps. The small data philosophy aims to address these challenges and re-envision the 'last mile' of big data via consumer style, more responsive, more social/collaborative tools and apps that truly turn insight into action for business users, marketers and customers. How are organisations thinking about this opportunity? Adobe and Digital Clarity Group set out to answer this question with original research designed to explore industry perspective, provoke discussion and provide practical insights.
Data storytelling: the only way to unlock true insight from your data
Data visualisation is failing. Many businesses are relying on tools such as Excel and PowerPoint to deliver an engaging data story without first establishing the plot. Bright North's latest white paper explains why data storytelling is the only way to unlock true insight from your data and lists five steps you can take to give your data story a happy ending.

Tracking a decade of changing consumers in the UK
By Paul Kennedy and Andy Peloe
November 2013
The UK Census has come a long way since its inception in 1801; however, the future of this once-a-decade exercise is still uncertain. The UK population has become more difficult to count, due, for example, to mobility and migration. A number of proposals are being considered including the introduction of a primarily online version and one based on existing government data with compulsory annual surveys. In the meantime, the most recent Census has confirmed some significant changes to the structure of society in the UK since the previous assessment in 2001.
The four futures: the digital loyalty survey
For marketers, the challenge of building real relationships with customers is more important than ever before. And given that the loyalty market has undergone a digital transformation in recent years, this challenge has become even more complex.
It's time to 'embrace the digital transition with both hands, while showing enough restraint and respect for consumers' permissions and preferences', concludes The Four Futures author Martin Hayward.
How data holds the key to customer-centric marketing
This briefing explores the extent to which the use of data drives customer centricity and the key steps organisations need to take to instil a customer data culture. It also looks at the implications of consumer privacy regulation and the importance of the value exchange in a cookieless world.
How valuable are your customers? Predictive analytics and the customer lifecycle
Every company's priority is putting customers at the heart of their business. A holistic view of each customer creates a lasting and lucrative bond, considering their entire life cycle. But, how do you form a personal customer relationship from the big data generated to accurately predict how to remain well-connected?
Pleased to meet you: How different customers prefer very different channels
