Why Did J.C. Penney Company, Inc. Stock Jump 25% in 2016?
By Daniel B. Kline Published February 15, 2017 MarketsFool.com
J.C. Penney (NYSE: JCP) has fought back from the brink.
The company, which once seemed like an inevitable retail casualty, has not solved all its problems, but it did show major signs of improvement in 2016. That's why the chain impressed investors, as it went from being volatile throughout the year to the stock ending it dramatically higher.
Through three quarters of 2016, J.C. Penney made progress toward becoming a viable, profitable business once again. In Q3, for example, the retailer saw a 0.8% drop in same-store sales, but saw its loss improve 42% versus the prior year to minus $67 million. Of course, that's still a loss, but it's a further sign the company has pulled itself back from imminent danger.

Those numbers, along with the results from the previous two quarters, were taken as strong positives by investors. Shares started the year down from 2015 highs because holiday sales lagged expectations, but the company quickly recovered. After closing 2015 at $6.66 shares, it ended 2016 at $8.31, a 25% improvement, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence.
Data source: YCharts.com.
Investors clearly believe in J.C. Penney CEO Marvin Ellison. He has improved results and shown that the company can carefully manage its way back from the edge of falling into consumer irrelevancy and inevitable bankruptcy.
"We are pleased to see strong sales performance in the growth initiatives we discussed at our most recent analyst meeting," he said in the Q3 earnings release. "The results of these initiatives are reflected in a positive sales comp in the month of October, driven by over 200 basis points of comp benefit from our 500 new appliance showrooms. We view our October sales results -- specifically our acceleration in the last two weeks of the month -- and the benefit from appliances as examples of what we expect for the balance of the fourth quarter."

J.C. Penney's road back has been bumpy. As you can see from the stock chart above, the company has had its share of setbacks. It appears that holiday results from 2016 are at least partly one of those bumps in the road.
"The first three weeks of November proved to be challenging in stores, consistent with the trends in the broader retail industry, said Ellison in a preliminary sales report. "However, the business improved and overall comp sales for the six-week period from Thanksgiving week through the end of December were positive... We are also encouraged by a very strong performance in our e-commerce business, evidenced by double-digit growth."
That's not all bad, but it's less than what the company hoped for given the momentum it had heading into the season. In order to build long-term success, the retailer has to continue to adjust and find a way to sustain success. There were strong signs in 2016 that it could do that and that J.C. Penney has a future.

One of the reasons I chose to learn how to provide live harp music for patients is that beneficial results can be seen in the monitors instantly. At the bedside and the nurse's station, we can witness the change in heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, and pulse oximetry as I'm playing, and there can be no doubt that the music is having a soothing effect.

Some studies use the term "music therapy" to refer to a patient passively listening to music. I have only cited studies that use "music therapy" in this passive sense.

The need for specialised digital marketing has inspired an increase in digital agencies and the hunt for the right digital agency is on.
Finding a digital partner is crucial. Many business leaders find digital marketing challenging as they are spread thin when taking on their own digital marketing efforts, resulting in half-baked digital campaigns that can often do more harm than good. The need for specialised digital marketing has inspired an increase in digital agencies and the hunt for the right digital agency is on.
So, how do you choose the right agency?
The better you are able to establish your digital marketing needs the better the conversation will be with potential agencies. Consider your website, SEO, advertising, social, and design needs in order to understand the costs involved.
Set and lock down your budget accordingly. It is important to remember that there is no set price, but, keep in mind that you get what you pay for. A great digital marketing specialist will be able to work with reasonable expectations and within a reasonable budget.
A lack of transparency is an immediate red flag. First, take a look at the agency's website. If location, about me and profiles, client and agency lists, and testimonials are nowhere to be seen, then move on. If it looks like something is being hidden, it more than likely is.
Be wary of big promises on delivery, at the most affordable rate, as it is not always the best option as a large amount of new clients choose agencies with little to no experience. Full transparency should be top of your list when it comes to partnering with the right digital agency.
How credible is the agency you're looking at and what kind of experience do they have under the belt? Dig a little deeper and read through online reviews and client testimonials. Ask yourself if it all seems authentic. If there are no client references on their website and Linkedin, ask for them.
If the agency allows contact with clients where it didn't go too well it should be perceived as positive. There is no such thing as perfection and it shows transparency while adding to credibility. Consider the agency's website and how well it appears in search results. Look at the agency social pages to get more insight into what you can expect.
Related: Is Your Content Golden Enough?
The connection between the business and it's creative team needs to be based on more than the marketing of a brand. Do the beer test by inviting the key players from both sides around a table for coffee, tea, a drink, or a meal, and test to see if you can work together.
It helps when the people who work together can get on with the work and each other. Choose an agency who is aligned with your brand, persona, and availability. A brilliant business partnership goes beyond the company. In business today, it is a totally acceptable concept to buy into people. Great working relationships contribute towards producing outstanding results.
Get in touch with So Interactive to set a beer test and discuss your digital needs.
Hello, I found this information for you: "How To Choose The Right Digital Agency". Here is the website link: https://www.entrepreneurmag.co.za/advice/marketing/online-marketing/how-to-choose-the-right-digital-agency/. Thank you.


The mechanical industry is changing its name. To meccatronics. Precision mechanics entrusted to production robots linked up in a network of digital relations. An Italy which is therefore dynamic, competitive, in a good position on the international markets (nevertheless an open challenge, even in this season of walls, neo-nationalism and vulgar protectionism).
But there is also another face, which is radically different, the face of the economic and social Italy. The face of the rise in vouchers , precariousness that is affecting the majority of youths, the rise in occupational deaths (there is a close and painful connection between accidents and precariousness).
In newspaper and website headlines, on the same days, the two faces of innovation and backwardness are in contrast and even partly overlap. "Industry, information technology and robotics, even with innovative trade union agreements, such as the new contract for the engineering industry, focusing on training and corporate welfare. And 'karstic flooding' with trades that are sinking quickly, freelancers with a VAT registration number with low incomes concealing an actual employment relationship, vouchers", sums up Aldo Bonomi, a sociologist who is careful to follow "the tracks and subjects" in the "microcosms" of social transformations. All this has a strong geographical connotation, between North and South. Indeed, in the South where what is commonly referred to as the "Third society" recorded by the Hume Foundation (IlSole24Ore, 12th February) and comprises those who are "left out" and in other words unemployed, black-market workers and inactive people who do not see any chance of employment touches 48.5% of the workforce, compared to a national average of 30% (which is still an alarming figure, on the rise in recent years and well above the rate in Germany and France: "A negative wave that could lead to new social tremors", according to Luca Ricolfi, statistical economist).
North is in fact meccatronics (in the South, especially in Puglia, there are a few isolated islands, but no interlinked production fabric). And it is "Industry 4.0", the innovative dimension of manufacturing which, already growing in the USA and Germany, is searching for its particular paradigm in Italy, suitable for a set of smaller and medium-sized companies rather than medium-to-large ones, in districts and networks, and articulated supply chains across territories with a more robust industrial vocation but also capable of gaining ground on an international scale. The Government, with the choices made by the Ministry for Economic Development to provide fiscal and financial support to those who invest in technology and machinery as well as in research & development, is taking steps to lend a hand.
This is frequently discussed, among entrepreneurs, at the European heart of quality manufacturing, in "greater Milan" a hybrid of industry and hi tech corporate services, in Piedmont where meccatronics is a distinguishing feature of post-Fiat automotive industry, in the dynamic province of Brescia and Bergamo and in the North East and in Emilia, where precision mechanics and "machinery to make machinery" are developing. Despite everything, this industry is growing. It can be compared with the stronger European industrial areas, such as Bayern and Baden-Württemberg, Rhone Alpes and the dynamic Catalonia. Manufacturing already currently has an incidence on the GDP similar to the German average, in excess of 20% (so already beyond the targets that the EU asks to be achieved by 2020).
"New capitalisms in Lombardy and Veneto", as efficiently summed up by Bonomi (IlSole24Ore, 12th February), nevertheless accounting for the force of the "Milan centre of gravity", the smart city capable of protagonism and plans (Assolombarda testifies to this) and the uncertainties in the North East, dynamic and with a robust "entrepreneurial social capital" yet still devoid of a vision, of a common project. To be built by companies and territories, redesigning new development opportunities.
What about the rest of Italy? It trudges on. Its industry is still too tied to the domestic market (for years substantially reducing consumption levels). It is small. Innovative and competitive to a small extent. Familialism. Closed off.
The effect of this dualism, amid innovation and conservation, corporate spirit and welfarism, partially North and South, is reflected on the GDP growth indexes: laboured, below the EU average. The great long stagnation.
Statistics aside, anyone travelling in the large complex Italian province will still detect traces of dynamism. It is clearly visible in the areas of Lombardy, Emilia and the Veneto where companies are undergoing changes, where the social aspect plays the leading role (also with representative organisations) in an albeit difficult economic and social growth. A dynamism that it would a serious mistake to thwart and disperse.
The challenge is all here: giving business trust. And moving, towards companies and the market, savings, in forms of investment. A political challenge (a horizon of sense and security, beyond the albeit essential stimuli and supports for Industry 4.0). And a cultural one. Public debate, in addition to discussions about early elections or not, and internal duals within the centre-left and the centre-right, should finally take it on.
How are new businesses formed?
Social malaise and ill-feeling aggravate the crisis of the "liberal citadel": how can we respond to this?
Provincial Italy which speaks ill of itself and the companies which innovate and invest.

Did the records from the Conch Republic indicate that any other hijackers purchased passports from there? http://www.cooperativeresearch.net/timeline/2001/miamiherald100301b.html
Why wasn't Atta's luggage put on Flight 11? Two bags were found at Login Airport.
Comment: Atta's will, which was found in the luggage, includes detailed directions for handling and burial of his body. It seems odd that Atta would not realize that his body would be destroyed in the explosion when the airplane crashed and exploded.
http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/atta/resources/documents/fbiaffidavit13.htm

On September 19, 2001, The New York Times reported that the FBI believed there were six hijacking teams on 9/11. Knives were found on several flights of grounded planes. What conclusions have been drawn about whether or not there were additional hijacking teams onboard flights on September 11th other that those seized by the terrorists? Please provide details. http://www.cooperativeresearch.net/timeline/main/timelinecomplete2.html
Have any airport/airline personnel (security screeners, cleaning crew, etc) been implicated in assisting the hijackers? If so, where and in what way?
"There may have been an attempt to hijack United Airlines Flight 23 flying from Boston to Los Angeles around 9:00 a.m. Three Middle Eastern men angrily refused to get off the plane when it was canceled, then escaped security."
http://www.cooperativeresearch.net/timeline/main/timelinecomplete2.html
Please explain how these men were able to escape security. Hadn't the crew and airport security been alerted that there had been multiple deadly hijackings earlier that morning?
Which of the hijackers were caught on video at the boarding gate?
Did the hijackers smuggle a gun on board some of the flights?
In 2003, Paul Wolfowitz said that he suspected that Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11, the Oklahoma City attacks and the September 11th attacks.
• What conclusions has the FBI drawn regarding the possibility of a connection between Iraq and the terrorist attacks on the WTC '93, on the Murrah Building in OKC and on September 11th? Please comment on the following information, which appears to show a connection between Ramzi Yousef and the Oklahoma City bombers.
• In the Oklahoma City bombing, reporter Jayna Davis interviewed witnesses who reported a Middle Eastern men speeding away from the Murrah building just before the Oklahoma City bombing. She also found credible witnesses who saw one of the Middle Eastern men in the company of Timothy McVeigh in the days before the bombing.
http://www.thenewamerican.com/tna/2002/01-28-2002/vo18no02_okc.htm
• Abdul Hakim Murrad, convicted of plotting to blow up airliners, allegedly told the FBI that his former roommate, Ramzi Yousef, had orchestrated the Oklahoma City bombings.
• Nichols attended a meeting in the early 1990s in the Mindanoa. Ramzi Yousef and Abdul Hakim Murad were also at that meeting.
• Terry Nichols' phone records indicate that in 1995, he place 13 calls from his home phone to someone in the Philippines.
Is there any evidence that Ramzi Yousef was an agent for Saddam Hussein?
What was Yousef's relationship with al Qaeda?
"Aboard Flight 93, passenger Thomas Burnett told his wife, Deena, in a 9:27 a.m. cell-phone call: "The hijackers have already knifed a guy, one of them has a gun, and they are telling us there is a bomb on board." http://www.philly.com/mld/dailynews/6742902.htm
Did anyone else on any flight report that the terrorists had a gun?
Why isn't America cooperating in the prosecution of terrorists worldwide, such as the German trial of Abdelghani Mzoudi?

"On August 28th five of our aeroplanes flew over the Hun lines and dropped pamphlets telling the Huns that Rumania and Italy had declared war on them. On the same day I was caught in a Hun bombardment up Stirling Lane close to Dawson City. I lay low for a while and then decided to return to the canal bank! Brave lad! Our relief on the 28th was delayed as a report came in at 8.30pm that the Hun had remade part of his wire defence opposite Coffee Trench – the weak spot of our line. Everybody got the wind-up, and expected an attack, or a raid at least. We all stood-to, with gas masks at "the alert". Lewis guns were rushed forward and the Brigadier-General was chasing about all over the place seeing that the weak spots were guarded. Two patrols were sent out as soon as it was dark, and discovered a small gap in the Hun wire made by our shell-fire. Mr Bosche was busy repairing it! We had a good laugh when the patrols got back and gave us this report! But I didn't get back to Trois Tours Chateau until midnight as a result!
Great artillery duels went on almost every day in spite of wretched weather conditions.
Most of these gun-duels took place at night and one could get very little peaceful sleep for the terrific din. The whole ground shook.
One day I was having a stroll across the fields towards Essex Farm, when our guns began to bombard the German front line trenches. Of course, the enemy retaliated and sent over lots of "pip-squeaks" in the region of Essex Farm. One shell landed beside six men and wounded them all. One poor devil got both legs blown off. What a shambles! I rushed as fast as my legs could carry me to their aid, and was nearly blown over by the explosion of a big "Crump" en route. Stretcher-bearers of the 129th Field Ambulance cleared five of the wounded in record time but I was left behind with a wounded sergeant in the middle of the road beside a grim pool of blood, a leg, (minus the body) and a stretcher. Luckily, an engineer chap noticed my predicament and speedily came to my aid. We heaved the sergeant, who was hit in the thigh on to the stretcher, but almost immediately had to roll him off it into the ditch by the roadside as some more Hun shells came on and burst uncomfortably close to us. However, we got him on to the stretcher again, but had some job getting him across country to the Dressing Station. He weighed close on 15 stone!
Another day we watched the enemy shell one of our batteries close to the Chateau. The gunners had a cow and it was comical to watch them evacuating the milk-producer from the danger-zone, when the shelling commenced. The silly brute wouldn't budge, and had to be hauled and shoved by furious and "windy" gunners!"

Q: Regular expression equivalent to chomp i have seen somewhere instead of using chomp in perl we can use some regular expression to achieve the same task. Can anyone tell what is the regular expression will meet chomp in perl
Thanks in advance

A: At least 995 times out 1000 (with the notable exception of tab-separated data) you want
s/\s+\z//;

instead of
chomp;

It handles trailing whitespace (which shouldn't ever be significant), Windows line endings and unix line endings.

A: What chomp does is remove the value of $/ from the end of its argument string (or $_ if no argument). So the equivalent regex would be:
s#\Q$/\E\z##;

Note the use of other delimiter for s/// to avoid problems with the $/ variable.
However, there is no benefit to using such a regex, rather the opposite. This is a purely academic question, in my opinion.

We present ilastik, an easy-to-use interactive tool that brings machine-learning-based (bio)image analysis to end users without substantial computational expertise. It contains pre-defined workflows for image segmentation, object classification, counting and tracking. Users adapt the workflows to the problem at hand by interactively providing sparse training annotations for a nonlinear classifier. ilastik can process data in up to five dimensions (3D, time and number of channels). Its computational back end runs operations on-demand wherever possible, allowing for interactive prediction on data larger than RAM. Once the classifiers are trained, ilastik workflows can be applied to new data from the command line without further user interaction. We describe all ilastik workflows in detail, including three case studies and a discussion on the expected performance.

The factory on holiday
Even absent the daily rhythm of our artisans and craft in the stillness of gears and of the factory at rest a presence is felt
A new beginning in Venice
Our new Giudecca showroom was inspired by Mariano Fortuny y Madrazo's vision of the theater. Housed in a former convent which the Fortuny founder converted into a textile factory almost a century ago.
FTY: Archives
Elsie McNeill Lee, The Countess Gozzi, was a media darling. Publications around the globe loved to report on her winning smile and fabulous wit, as well as the fine fabrics produced under her leadership. As we dig deeper into our archives, we wanted to share with you some of our favorite press stories from Elsie McNeill Lee's time at Fortuny.
Hope floats: La festa del Redentore
In 1576, Venetian Doge Alvise Mocenigo turned to the heavens to plead for an end to the plague that ravaged the city for over a year. He vowed to build a basilica in thanksgiving should his prayers be answered.
Venice Re-Visited
Best are those friendships unchanged by the distance of time or place. Neither the changes within us nor the length between meetings can temper the comfort that immediately sets in. The cadence of speech continues as if the conversation's flow began earlier that same day. Venice is very much like a best friend in that sense.
Memories of Mariano
I first met Mariano in the spring of 2000. I'd known of him for years, told his story numerous times, worked on the machines he invented with the techniques he developed, but my introduction to the Fortuny company would forever be through Countess Elsie Lee Gozzi.
Sonnets to Orpheus
Mariano Fortuny's printed fabrics made their debut in March of 1906. Ballerinas from the Opera de Paris wore his textiles as veils on the Comtesse de Bearn's private theater stage. Fortuny's Knossos scarf was hence born, featuring Minoan-inspired motifs in exuberant asymmetrical patterns.
For the last year, brands big and small have danced a delicate dance addressing the enormity of the global pandemic. On social media and television, a message of optimism and escape provides relief from heartache and melancholy. No one is untouched.
Be the muse: Henriette Negrin
"This patent is the property of Madame Henriette Brassart, who is the inventor." This simple note in the margins of Mariano Fortuny's pleating machine patent perfectly tells the story of the shared passions and collaborations between Mariano & his wife and muse, Henriette Negrin. A tale of partnership and inspiration.
The sea for Fortuny
Unlike any other place on the planet, it is the unique connection between Venice and the sea that both defines the city and threatens it. There are no walls to protect this floating city, only the lagoon.
Art for Fortuny
Since its inception, the force that has driven the Fortuny brand is a pursuit of beauty. Born into a family of artists and patrons, Mariano Fortuny's life was an education in the human hand and mind's creative output.
Architecture for Fortuny
When one space is delineated, two are created. Outside wouldn't be outside if there were no inside to define it. Drawing lines gives structure and creates thresholds and boundaries that both hold us and compel us. Architecture is the human art and design of these structures, both inside and out.


People do not have to be worried regarding the dimension of this counter since it might fit perfectly with all an readily available space for counter tops in the shower including design inspiration bridal shower exquisite weddings.
design inspiration bridal shower exquisite weddings are various. From different layouts, colors, shapes, colours and materials used.

Tips To Live A Hundred Years. Want to live a 100 years? Just follow a few healthy habits and live on.
New Delhi: Want to live a 100 years? Just follow a few healthy habits and live on!
Researchers at the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg have followed the health of 855 Swedish men for the past 50 years and have come to a conclusion that refraining from smoking, maintaining healthy cholesterol levels and having not more than four cups of coffee a day can help you live up to 100 years of age.
The first surveys were conducted in 1963. Now that it has been determined that ten of the men lived to 100, the study is being wrapped up and the researchers believe that conclusions can be drawn about the secrets to their longevity.
"The unique design has enabled us to identify the factors that influence survival after the age of 50," said Lars Wilhelmsen, who has been involved in the study for the past 50 years.
"Our recommendation for people who aspire to centenarianism is to refrain from smoking, maintain healthy cholesterol levels and confine themselves to four cups of coffee a day," Wilhelmsen noted.
It also helps if you paid a high rent for a flat or owing a house at age 50 (indicating good socio-economic standard), enjoy robust working capacity at a bicycle test when you are 54 and have a mother who lived for a long time, the study pointed out.
"Our findings that there is a correlation with maternal but not paternal longevity are fully consistent with a previous studies," Wilhelmsen said.
Various surveys at the age of 54, 60, 65, 75, 80 and 100 permitted the researchers to consider the factors that appear to promote longevity.
A total of 27 percent (232) of the original group lived to the age of 80 and 13 percent (111) to 90. All in all, 1.1 percent of the subjects made it to their 100th birthday.
The findings appeared in the Scandinavian Cardiovascular Journal.


While plans for a renowned local chef to open a Chinese restaurant in a grocery space on N. Washington Street fell through, a new Chinese spot will open on the strip after all. Xi'an Gourmet has leased the old Fusion Supper Club building at 316 N. Washington. The space has been vacant for more than a year. Xi'an Gourmet will add the flavors of Northwestern China to the potpourri of Asian dining options in Rockville.
"...to the potpourri of Asian dining options in Rockville."
Please don't use words unless you actually know what they mean.
You're denying that Xi'an is in Northwestern China? Geopolitics aside, that is a fact which can be factchecked in seconds on Wikipedia by anyone reading this.
That's also a correct usage of potpourri, as well.

Q: How to filter on a string numpy array column in pyspark I have a pyspark dataframe
import pandas as pd
foo = pd.DataFrame({'col':[['a_b', 'bad'],['a_a', 'good'],[]]})

I would like to filter out all the rows for which 'bad' is in the list of col
I have tried to first create a binary column and then filter on this one:
from pyspark.sql import functions as f
foo = foo.withColumn('at_least_one_bad', f.when(f.col("col").array_contains("bad"),f.lit(1)).otherwise(f.lit(0)))

but I get an error

TypeError: 'Column' object is not callable

Any ideas?

A: Your syntax is slightly off - try this code below:
import pyspark.sql.functions as f

foo2 = foo.withColumn('at_least_one_bad', f.array_contains('col', 'bad').cast('int'))

foo2.show()
+-----------+----------------+
|        col|at_least_one_bad|
+-----------+----------------+

The right-hander allows four hits, including a home run, but he also strikes out three on breaking balls and hits 94 mph on the radar gun.
PHOENIX – The long, torturous road back from reconstructive shoulder surgery finally ended Monday for Jimmy Nelson.
Pitching in a competitive game against an opponent wearing a different uniform for the first time since Sept. 8, 2017, the Milwaukee Brewers right-hander experienced it all in his one-inning, 22-pitch outing against the Chicago White Sox at American Family Fields of Phoenix.
Nelson surrendered a home run on his second pitch and allowed four hits. But he also struck out three on nasty breaking balls, reached 94 mph on the radar gun with his fastball and, most important, emerged healthy and happy with what transpired.
"To me, this is a step," Nelson said. "All the bullpens, all the live BPs and intrasquads were just a formality. This is the actual step, getting to the game and getting that one under your belt."
Nelson has been on the comeback trail since surgeon Neal ElAttrache rebuilt his shoulder on Sept. 19, 2017, after he injured it sliding back into first base after singling at Wrigley Field.
He began throwing bullpen sessions around the all-star break last season, and in the month or so since he reported to spring training Nelson has graduated from throwing bullpens to live batting practice to a simulated game and finally the real thing on Monday.
In a tweet, Nelson expressed his gratitude for getting to that point, and as he trotted to the mound from the bullpen to start the sixth inning he was greeted by a large ovation both from the crowd of 6,775 and the railing full of teammates in the dugout.
"We thought it would be a nice gesture," said Christian Yelich. "We know how much work he's put in and how important it is for him. It's not too big of an ask for guys to stay 2-3 more innings than they usually would to support a teammate.
"We're happy to see him back out there. The results really don't matter; it's just nice to see him back in a major-league game and healthy after everything he's gone through."
Nelson – as focused a professional athlete as there is – admitted he was touched by the sentiment.
"I knew some of the guys were going to hang out because they told me they wanted to see," Nelson said. "I thought I was going to throw the fourth or fifth, then I got pushed to the sixth because (Jhoulys) Chacín was dealing and I didn't know that they were going to still hang around.
"I have so much respect for these guys. It was just one of those really cool moments. And then the fans being all pumped up when I came up before I threw a pitch – I can't help but smile when I think about it."
Leadoff hitter Adam Eaton greeted Nelson by squaring around to bunt and then sent a long homer out to left on his second offering. Leury Garcia followed by beating out a slow roller to the left side before Nelson struck out Ryan Goins swinging with a curveball.
James McCann, up next, bounced a single up the middle to put two on. Nelson responded by striking out Matt Skole swinging with a slider, then Eloy Jimenez doubled to right-center to drive in another run.
Nelson ended his day with a swinging strikeout of Danny Mendick on another curveball. During that at-bat he also hit 94 mph with his fastball after sitting mostly around 91-92.
"I got a little taste of everything," Nelson said. "I was excited. I wasn't too amped up or nervous because if I was I would probably be over-throwing. But I felt like I was pretty easy. I wasn't over-throwing.
"I kind of got a little too quick when that guy got on first the first couple pitches, but other than that I kind of reeled it back in a little bit."
Manager Craig Counsell was all smiles afterward with regard to Nelson's performance.
"He threw the ball great," he said. "It's not a day to evaluate how he threw, regardless. It's a day for Jimmy to realize he is getting there. I'm happy for him, and happy how the whole inning went.
"It couldn't have gone better."
Assuming Nelson emerges no worse for wear Tuesday, his next game action will come Saturday when the Brewers play split-squad games at home against Colorado and on the road against Kansas City.
"On Saturday, the plan is for three innings," Nelson said. "I basically threw one in the game and another controlled inning in the bullpen. Hopefully get three innings there and go from there. Everything is there. Just a matter of building up, as I've always said.
"I still think there is more in the tank. I didn't feel I was necessarily throwing with 100 percent effort out there. It was pretty free and easy out there."


Walkers can choose routes on local roads or through Storrs Pond and Oak Hill. The Prouty's 3-kilometer, 6-kilometer, 9-kilometer and 12-kilometer residential walking routes begin and end on Lyme Road near Frances C. Richmond Middle School. The 3K walk, named Audrey's 3K Walk, will originate and conclude at the Prouty venue. The 6K, 9K and 12K routes each go around Occom Pond, and the longer two walks will then traverse campus on Old Tuck Drive. Five-kilometer and 10-kilometer "wooded" walking routes begin on Lyme Road and pass the north end of Storrs Pond, with the 10K route turning onto the Oak Hill trail system on a path that gains more than 600 feet of elevation. Regan Gore '19 and Elise Higgins '19 both plan on participating in the 5K wooded walk.
Golfing the Prouty is in a four-person scramble format. Foursomes will tee off every nine minutes between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday at the Hanover Country Club. Each group of four will compete together, selecting the best of the four players' shots at each juncture and recording one score per hole. The Hanover Country Club is an 18-hole, par-72 course. As a comparison, during the Dartmouth Invitational in September, the Big Green women's golf team averaged a little more than four over par.
The Prouty rowing course spans the 10-mile stretch of the Connecticut River between the Ledyard Bridge and the Lyme Bridge. Rowers must bring their own shells and will begin at the Dartmouth boathouse and row north for a distance of five, 10, 15 or 20 miles. They will choose to launch at any time between 6:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Jackson Witherspoon '19, a member of the lightweight rowing team, plans to row the 20-mile distance with teammate Henry Cawthorne '19.
The Prouty began in 1982 with four nurses cycling 100 miles through the White Mountains of New Hampshire. It was inspired by Audrey Prouty's nine-year battle with ovarian cancer. To fundraise and bring awareness for cancer research, the Prouty still regards cycling as its signature event. For the most adventurous, the Prouty Ultimate comprises two 77-mile rides on Friday and Saturday that were modified from 100-mile rides due to recent hazardous weather conditions. Friday's route loops through eastern Vermont, heading east to Woodstock and turning as far north as Chelsea before passing through Thetford and returning to Hanover. On Saturday, Ultimate riders follow the Connecticut north to Wells River, Vermont before turning back for Hanover. Shorter 77-mile, 50-mile and 20-mile routes will follow similar routes along the river. Stormy weather has forced cancelation of the 35-mile route and the 64-mile metric century, which would have taken place on back roads.

Frost & Sullivan honors Protolabs with the Manufacturing Leadership Award for operational excellence.
Protolabs announced that it has been recognized by Frost & Sullivan as a Manufacturing Leadership Awards winner for its outstanding achievement in operational excellence. Protolabs's winning project was called Cellular Division—a continuous improvement initiative designed to position the company for further business growth, achieve more favorable manufacturing costs and ultimately provide more economic value to its customers. The project consists of reorganizing the layout of its U.S. injection molding production facility and modifying personnel responsibilities to reduce wasted time, motion and excessive materials during its molding process.
The Cellular Division project achieved significant improvement in productivity of direct labor, cycle-time reduction of non-value-added activities and decreased material scrap. The improved operational efficiency will be critical as the company continues to scale its operations and grow its customer base with on-demand manufacturing, its latest injection molding service option tailored to low-volume production.
Protolabs will be recognized at the 14th Annual Manufacturing Leadership Awards Gala, which is to be held on the last day of the Manufacturing Leadership Summit. The event takes place June 11–13, 2018 at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa in Huntington Beach, California.

Delmon Young, former top MLB draft pick, arrested for allegedly striking ex-girlfriend: report
Delmon Young, a former top MLB draft pick and the 2012 American League Championship Series MVP, was arrested Monday on domestic violence and other charges in Florida.
The incident occurred in Davie and involved the 35-year-old Young and a woman claiming to be the former outfielder's ex-girlfriend, TMZ Sports reported.
The woman said Young began to bang on her door late Monday night. When she demanded he stop, he allegedly punched her in the chest and shoved her to the ground as she tried to run away, the report said.
Police said surveillance footage showed Young striking the woman, according to TMZ Sports. Young allegedly sped off in his car and drove through a stop sign while driving 90 mph in a 45 mph zone.
CHAPMAN HOMERS, MONTAS SHUTS DOWN WHITE SOX AS A'S END SKID
The woman involved in the incident called 911 and alleged Young was "trying to kill" her, according to TMZ Sports. The woman also claimed she had blood all over her and that Young punched her in the face.
Young also made a call to dispatchers, telling authorities the woman "tried hitting me and started doing a bunch of s—t" before saying he was "just trying to avoid her." Young was heard on the audio denying the allegations the woman was making.
Young played 10 years in the majors and received some MVP votes during the 2010 season with the Minnesota Twins. He batted .283 with 109 home runs during his career.

Home News Will BLACKPINK Renew Their Contract With YG Entertainment?
Will BLACKPINK Renew Their Contract With YG Entertainment?
Credit: Spotify
All eyes are on whether BLACKPINK will break the "seven-year curse" by renewing their contract with YG Entertainment.
The girl act's current contract with YG Entertainment expires in August. However, it is highly unlikely that they will renew their contract with the label, according to Munhwa Ilbo.
The report says the group is now worth a whole lot more and that Lisa was offered $10 million from an overseas label. Since she's from Thailand, it seems like the Asian markets are approaching the singer with a large sum of money.
However, BLACKPINK members won't be deciding who to work with based on how much money they will get offered. To continue promoting as members of BLACKPINK, they have to come to an agreement with YG entertainment as the label holds the rights to the group's name.
Industry insiders predict that YG will offer at least 20 billion won (about $16.3 million) to each member to keep their contract on track
Currently, BLACKPINK is hosting a world tour that mobilizes a total of 1.5 million concertgoers, with a ticket price of 120,000 won (about $98) per person. They make about 180 billion won (about $146.4 million) on concert sales, and considering the amount of money they make with their music and endorsements, the money YG is preparing to offer them is expected to be significantly high.
Meanwhile, BLACKPINK's world tour will end in June, two months before the expiration of their current exclusive contract with the label.

The Collaborator
Imprint: Penguin
Mirza Waheed
'With flashes of brilliance, tenderness and fury, Mirza Waheed's The Collaborator does what fiction should. It makes you listen' Arundhati Roy, author of The God of Small Things
By the waters running through the valleys of Kashmir, teenage boys come to play cricket, talk about girls, and just be. But a few years later, when they are young men and violence grips the region, they are gone.
Only the son of the local headman has stayed. He knows his friends have slipped over the border to Pakistan, and turned militant to bear arms against the Indian army. He would like to join them - but he cannot.
Instead, put in an impossible position by an Indian army Captain, he must cross into the shadowland between the opposing sides, a ghost walking among the dead. His fate, like that of his lost brothers, unknown . . .
'Waheed's prose burns with the fever of anger and despair; the scenes in the valley are exceptional, conveying, a hallucinatory living nightmare that has become an everyday reality for Kashmiris' Metro
'Waheed builds an atmosphere of menace and despair . . . his tale possesses a disturbing power that is both lingering and profound' Independent on Sunday
'Compelling . . . An important and poetic testimony to an all-too-easily forgotten war' Daily Mail

His debut novel The Collaborator was shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award and the Shakti Bhat Prize, and longlisted for the Desmond Elliott Prize.

Waheed has written for the BBC, the Guardian, Granta, Al Jazeera English and The New York Times. He lives in London.

Read more about all of Jade's features.
The core feature of Jade is the reduction of markup needed to create an HTML element. First off, you don't need the chevrons < ... > that surrounds the tag name. Next, you don't need closing brackets </ ... > either.
Unlike Haml, there is no need to place a percent symbol % before the selector name.
Jade offers three ways to enter text. Inline, piped and block. Using these techniques you can accomplish many combinations of copy blocks.
p this is standard inline text, you can also add <b>add inline html elements</b> if needed,.
| This is a piped string.
This is a piped string.
Much like Haml, simply declaring the class or ID on the tag will produce the desired HTML output. And exactly like Haml, if you don't designate a tag, the <div> will be used by default.
If the doctype is html jade knows not to mirror the attribute and uses the terse style (understood by all browsers).
Basic nesting in Jade is addressed by returns and soft (2 space) tabbing.
There it is. Want to play more with Haml? A great way to learn is to write some HTML that you are used to and run it through a converter to see how things shake out.


Two years back TMS, PBS, TKR and MSV - all entered into eternal glory at short intervals. Now a few days back it was Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa and today it is our most respected Mr. Cho Ramasamy.
When the time came for launching MSVTIMES.COM in December 2006, we were pondering over many names including those from the film & music world. We faced enormous difficulties to mobilise support for a venue for launch which was curtly turned down by everyone. Ramki and I who were in one of the famous landmarks in our city sporting an iconic studio were literally disappointed as all our frantic appeals inside this studio for this venue and outside where an equally iconic Kalyana Mandapam owned by this group, blatantly refused to yield. Humiliated by all these people, the Core Crew finally decided on Bharathiya Vidya Bhavan at Mylapore. I did express my absolute displeasure to Shri. MSV about how we were treated and thus was our decision born to completely boycott the film world from attending this event for which Shri. MSV never objected. Only those who had worked with Shri. MSV were invited and honoured with memontoes which they happlily accepted.
It was Shri. MSV who had suggested the name of Cho Ramasamy to be the Chief Guest which we whole heartedly welcomed as not only was Cho a legendary journalist, but an ardent devotee of MSV! When we had gone to his office in RA Puram to formally finalise the date, after a heart warming welcome we were led into his cabin. There was a great deal of affection and reverence exchanged between them. Cho offered his executive chair to MSV but the latter refused it and both wouldn't sit down. At one stage, Cho forcibly pulled MSV and made him occupy his chair. Such was the respect Cho had for MSV. He gladly agreed to be the Chief Guest and we left with our hearts filled with happiness. The rest is a decade old history!!
The world of journalism has not only lost a veteran but a man of great character, guts, wits, intelligence and above all his tenacity to call a spade, a spade. The void will surely be palpable and his loss irreplaceable forever.
MSVTIMES.COM pays its glorious tributes to this rarest of rare phenomenon in the world of journalism. His immense contribution to true reporting, his frank and open minded comments to take on any politician in India unmindful of the threats to his life shall ever be remembered.

Belize district avoids ambulance crisis
Published by [email protected] at September 2, 2016

Posted: Friday, September 2, 2016. 10: 46 a.m. CST.
By BBN Staff: The Belize district has avoided a potentially chaotic crisis after the Belize Emergency Response Team (BERT) threatened to pull its services due to a dispute with the Ministry of Health over salaries for EMTs.
BERT had announced that as of September 1 it would be suspending operations in the Belize district but yesterday morning BERT and the Ministry went into a meeting to negotiate in order to avoid the crisis.
Negotiations are still ongoing, and the two parties will meet again on Monday to finalize the details but BERT Financial Operations Manager Andre Carillo indicated that the Ministry has agreed to increase government subvention to help cover BERT's operational costs. In the meantime, BERT will continue to provide uninterrupted ambulance services. Government will cover salaries for the current EMTs and incoming EMTs.
The EMTs parked their ambulances in front of the Central Health Region yesterday morning awaiting instruction from the Ministry who was not prepared for the action taken by BERT. Director of Health Services, Dr. Marvin Manzanero intervened and helped the negotiating process.
"We have reached an agreement; BERT was basically interested in us increasing their subvention, that's one, and the other option was that they would be able to bill us for services beyond the subvention; or they could stop the subvention and they would be billing us for every service – on average, that worked out to forty-three thousand dollars. The proposal that is on the table is basically the same thing but it's not a payment to BERT; we'd be picking up salaries and those kinds of situations," Manzanero explained.


This kid is a rock star brother, but his future as a cameraman is seriously in doubt.
Deandra Wurangian graduated Western High School in Anaheim, Calif. last month. Unfortunately for her, her brother, Deandro, was so busy cheering like a wild man he botched recording the ceremony when the moment came for her to get her diploma.
Deandra harbors no ill will, though. "I adored how much he cheered because I didn't realize how proud of me he was," she told Mashable.
It's a strangely uplifting moment and his enthusiasm will put a smile on his face, kind of like a graduation speech that makes you feel good about what lies ahead.
Memo to Deandro: you have a few more years to prep before your sister's college graduation. You've been put on notice, so don't screw it up again.
