7 Dividend Stocks That Want to Pay You More Cash
BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- If you're a dividend investor, Ben Bernanke sent an important message to you on Wednesday: It's time to buy dividend stocks with both hands.
The decision to skip QE3 -- and to keep interest rates near all-time lows -- is significant (albeit not unexpected). It means that investors who want to actually make money need think about returns on capital again, and not just returns of capital. With inflation being held well above 2%, treasuries are paying negative real yields right now, and dividends are providing investors with one of the only sources of relief.
>>10 Low-Risk Dividend Stocks for a Volatile Market
And why shouldn't they? Cash holdings among S&P 500 companies are at all time highs, and so are corporate profits. Management teams that don't want to see that money disappear have to deploy that cash - and more and more, they're opting to do it with bigger dividend payouts for shareholders.
The result is that today, the S&P 500 pays out a bigger cash dividend than it has at any time in history - and yields are higher than they've been in the last two decades. >>ACTIVE STOCK TRADERS: Check out Stockpickr's special offer for Real Money, headlined by Jim Cramer, now! Dividends are also a big deal for investors in search of the biggest total returns: Over the last 36 years, dividend stocks have outperformed the rest of the S&P 500 by 2.5% annually, and they outperformed nonpayers by nearly 8% every year, all while paying out cash to their shareholders, according to data compiled by Ned Davis Research. The numbers are even more compelling when looking at companies that consistently increase their payouts. That's why we pay close attention to the firms that are shoveling more corporate cash to shareholders. With that, here's a look at seven stocks that hiked payouts recently.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Hypergraph Spectra for Semi-supervised Feature Selection AbstractIn many data analysis tasks, one is often confronted with the problem of selecting features from very high dimensional data. Most existing feature selection methods focus on ranking individual features based on a utility criterion, and select the optimal feature set in a greedy manner. However, the feature combinations found in this way do not give optimal classification performance, since they neglect the correlations among features. While the labeled data required by supervised feature selection can be scarce, there is usually no shortage of unlabeled data. In this paper, we propose a novel hypergraph based semi-supervised feature selection algorithm to select relevant features using both labeled and unlabeled data. There are two main contributions in this paper. The first is that by incorporating multidimensional interaction information (MII) for higher order similarities measure, we establish a novel hypergraph framework which is used for characterizing the multiple relationships within a set of samples. Thus, the structural information latent in the data can be more effectively modeled. Secondly, we derive a hypergraph subspace learning view of feature selection which casting the feature discriminant analysis into a regression framework that considers the correlations among features. As a result, we can evaluate joint feature combinations, rather than being confined to consider them individually. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our feature selection method on a number of standard face data-sets.

The other day, we read the text of the international relations resolutions adopted by the ANC at its 53rd national conference in Mangaung, last December. On close examination, taken as a whole, the resolutions are both a greatly ambitious and a profoundly depressing document, writes J BROOKS SPECTOR.
On the one hand, it is devoutly forward-looking, searching for the way to nurture the creation of a better, safer, fairer world. On the other, however, this document seems deeply rooted in some old, worn-out ideas. Many of these might have been best left behind at the moment the East German border police, the Volpos, patrolling Berlin's Checkpoint Charlie opened that gate in the Berlin Wall and let all Germans come and go freely.
The party's document begins on an emphatically optimistic, high, even messianic note. The precepts state:
"1. The ANC [is] in pursuit of its international relations objectives as directed by the Freedom Charter which states that 'there shall be peace and friendship'. Therefore, International Relations is utilised by the ANC to form friendships and to work towards peace in the continent and in the world, whilst pursuing South Africa's national interest;
The ANC's international relations policy is directly informed by our domestic policy, and vice versa, and they are mutually reinforcing;
The ANC remains comm...

1990s Recipes + Menus
Herbed Buttered Parsnips
Serves 8
November 1993
Probably the Shakers' greatest gift to American cookery was their knowledge and liberal use of herbs, which were relied upon to vary and enliven standard dishes.
- 3 lb parsnips, peeled and cut diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, cut into pieces and softened
- 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped fine, or 1 teaspoon dried, crumbled
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste
In a steamer set over boiling water steam the parsnips, covered, for 8 minutes, or until they are tender. While the parsnips are steaming, put the butter, the parsley, and the thyme in a heatproof serving bowl. Add the hot parsnips and toss them with the butter mixture, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.

Pork: Good or Bad?
by Dana Angelo White in Healthy Tips, June 8, 2009
We stirred up some controversy recently when we included pork on our list of energy-boosting foods. Some of you questioned whether it was healthy or safe to eat. So you can make your own decision, we thought we'd share pork's nutrition facts. Is it really the "other white meat"?
Trimming the Fat
If you're looking for the healthiest pork options, you want lean cuts — tenderloin, loin chops and sirloin roast. Bacon and other fatty cuts are very high in artery-clogging saturated fat and cholesterol and not for everyday eating. Baked ham and lunch meat fall somewhere in the middle when it comes to fat and calories. Just like with other meats, pork is safe when cooked to the proper internal temperature (it's 160F for pork).
Some folks are conscientious of the environmental impact of meats they eat. If that's you, look for local and free-range purveyors of pork products — just like you would for chicken and beef. Local or free-range products may have a higher price tag, but you can offset the cost in other ways like committing to a meatless day once a week.
Nutrition Facts
Lean cuts of pork are high in protein, low in fat and have more B-vitamins (thiamin, niacin, B6 and B12) than many other types of meat. These vitamins play a role in a variety of body functions, including metabolism and energy production (that's why we had it on our "energizing foods" list). For some perspective, let's compare 3 ounces of cooked pork tenderloin to the same amount of cooked chicken breast — as you'll see, they aren't all that different:
Pork Tenderloin
Calories: 96 calories
Total Fat: 3 grams
Saturated Fat: 1 grams
Cholesterol: 48 milligrams
Protein: 18 grams
Iron 6%
Thiamin 45%
Niacin 30%
Pork also contains healthy doses of zinc and selenium.
Chicken Breast
Calories: 142 calories
Total Fat: 3 grams
Saturated Fat: 1 grams
Cholesterol: 73 milligrams
Protein: 27 grams
Iron 5%
Thiamin 4%
Niacin 59%
Chicken is also a good source of selenium.
Of course, what you choose to eat is always a personal decision. If you're a pork fan, below is a collection of recipes you might want to try. If not, check out alternative meats like bison, which is also lean, or consider a more vegetarian-focused diet.
Pork recipes to try:
- Pork Tenderloin With Seasoned Rub (above)
- Herb-Roasted Pork Loin with Parsley-Shallot Sauce
- Spice-Rubbed Pork Tenderloin with Celery Root-Apple Puree & Cider Gravy
- Pork Medallions with Cherry Sauce
- Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin
- Chipotle Orange-Glazed Pork Chops
TELL US: Where do you stand on the pork debate?

Grilled Octopus with 'Borlotti Marinati' and Spicy Limoncello Vinaigrette.
The best dish of the night and one of the best dishes that I've ever had! The octopus was meaty and tender, so unlike any other octopus dishes that I've ever had. The vinaigrette was really light and paired perfectly with the tender meat.

An italian classic at its best. I love pappardelle pasta with its noodles and this bolognese was divine – especially with the fresh parmigiano reggiano.
Grilled Pork Chop with Grilled Peaches, Arugula and Vin Cotto
Perfectly cooked…enough said.
Dark Chocolate Torta with Toasted Meringue and Graham Cracker Gelato
The perfect end to our meal. The torta was decadent but not overly sweet. The gelato paired perfectly!
I simply can't find the right words to express the deliciousness of this meal. Each dish was exquisite and prepared wonderfully. Our server was friendly and tended to our needs throughout the evening. Be prepared for the higher dollar figures on the menu but I guarantee you won't be disappointed!

Men in kilts...
I'm sorry, but guys in kilts are just DOMINANT! Stalking around with knives in their socks, a definite brio (and I don't mean cheese) about their shoulders, it simply transforms them into powerful figures that attracts women like flies to – well, that's what we wanted to find out –
So we conducted a very informal survey of kilt wearers at our last Games, and asked the single burning question uppermost in every female's mind: What EXACTLY is worn under the kilt? Inquiring minds want to know! We got a variety of well-rehearsed responses: "Nothing! It's all in pairrfect working order!" "On a good day, a rainbow!" My favorite, "A Blue Ribbon! For first prize!" while his 60ish wife by his side dissolved in giggles.
All I can say is, there is a reason they don't wear patent leather shoes.

MEMS oscillators have multiple synchronous outputs
Integrated Device Technology is offering quad frequency MEMS oscillators with multiple synchronous outputs.
The IDT 4E series ±50ppm enhanced MEMS oscillators integrate an LVDS or LVPECL output with a synchronous CMOS output into a single package, eliminating the need for an external crystal or secondary oscillator.
Available in frequencies up to 600MHz, the oscillators feature two control pins to select between four factory-programmable output frequencies, allowing for the replacement of four components with a single device.
The IDT 4E series oscillators are designed with the physical dimensions and pinout of an industry-standard six-pin CMOS, LVDS or LVPECL oscillator, but with four additional pins (10 pins total) strategically placed to maintain backward compatibility with existing six-pin sockets.
This allows designers to use the oscillators in existing sockets while offering additional functionality for new designs.
System designers can choose from three different output combinations: LVDS and CMOS outputs, LVPECL and CMOS outputs, or three synchronous CMOS outputs.

By John Varoli. Web onlyPublished online: 16 December 2009
LONDON. The Russian art market in London bounced back from a four-year low in early December as wealthy Russian buyers, who dominate the market, regained confidence amid better economic activity in their homeland.
Nine Russian art auctions, spread over four days from 30 November to 3 December at Bonhams, Christie's, MacDougall's and Sotheby's, pulled in a combined £40.1m (est £40m-£51m). The results were just below last year's £41m total, but were up 37% on the market's low of £29m in June 2009."The worse is definitely behind us," said Ivan Samarine, a London-based Russian art dealer. "The problem in the first half of this year was not that the market collapsed; rather it froze as sellers didn't want to sell at lower prices, and buyers didn't want to buy until prices stabilised." Now, said London-based Russian art dealer James Butterwick, "consolidation, improvement and optimism are the best way to describe the situation on the market." Paintings from the 1920s and 1930s were the week's top lots, but Fabergé items with an imperial provenance soared the most over top estimate. Other items offered included imperial porcelain, silver, Orthodox icons, state military medals and historical photographs. The Russian economy shrank by around 10% in the first half of 2009, but economic activity has picked up since then and the government forecasts a small amount of growth for 2010. "Oil prices have recovered, economies are recovering, people have money to spend again and need to put it somewhere," said William MacDougall, co-director of MacDougall's. London accounts for about two-thirds of global Russian art sales at auction. Most items are sourced from private American and European collections, while most buyers are from Russia and Ukraine. "Ukrainian buyers often take home top lots, those with excellent provenance and quality, but are more cautious about the mid-market," said Sergei Tabalov, owner of the Kiev auction house, Art Kapital, adding that he bought some imperial heirlooms, icons and paintings for clients.Sotheby's posted the week's biggest total, selling £19.4m (est £14.8m-£21.2m) across four auctions, with 74% sold by lot. The house scored a so-called "white glove sale" on 30 November, which means it sold every lot from the imperial Romanov heirloom sale. The items were in mint condition, hidden for 90 years in a safe in the Swedish foreign ministry until rediscovered this year and each of the 108 lots, bar one, sold above high-estimate to a packed sales room, making a total of £7.1m—way above the £900,000 high estimate. Andrei Ruzhnikov of Aurora Fine Art Fund, one of the world's leading Fabergé collectors, was bidding in the room and said he bought "some items", but that several lots went too high for him. Sotheby's said the imperial heirlooms sale attracted bids from around the world, making the competition tighter than expected.However, the boisterous heirloom sale was immediately followed by a mediocre Sotheby's evening sale of paintings, which disappointed, selling only half of 37 lots for £4.1m (est £7.8m -£11.1m), casting a pall over the rest of the week. "After the Sotheby's evening sale, we noticed that potential buyers became nervous, and some people interested in our sales suddenly withdrew their bids," said Catherine MacDougall, co-director of rival auction house MacDougall's. "Sotheby's made the mistake of having a three-hour imperial heirlooms sale followed immediately by the paintings evening sale. By the time the paintings started, it was midnight in Moscow, and rich Russians aren't the type of people who like to be kept waiting," she said, adding: "Had Sotheby's sale been the next day, then results would've been much better for them, and for the other auction houses."In a major upset, MacDougall's sold the most in the week's main category, 19th- and 20th-century paintings, for the first time ever, with sales of £8.6m, beating Sotheby's £8.4m, and Christie's £4.7m. Overall the house totalled £9.4m (est £12.5m-£17m) at separate auctions that included Orthodox icons. Christie's two sales totalled £9.4m (est £6.5m-£9.3m), selling 70% by lot, while the one Bonhams auction of Russian paintings sold £1.9m (est £1.8m-£2.5m).

We at the National Wildlife Federation were so amazed by the outpouring of support for our efforts in the Gulf of Mexico. Families made time in their busy lives to help. Children inspired parents, and parents encouraged children.
Honestly, only children and those with a child's spirit could come up with such creative and fun ideas.
When the spill first started to spread, our Ranger Rick magazine staff quickly put together a guide for parents to help them talk with children in an age-appropriate way about the spill. This page continues to be very popular. People of all ages care about the wildlife and people of the Gulf.
The long term impacts of the oil disaster are still to be seen. This is only the beginning of what we need to do to help the people and wildlife of the Gulf. We hope these stories inspire your family. Keep telling us about all the creative, joyful things your family is doing. Everyone at National Wildlife Federation gets excited when we hear about them. People pass the stories through email and in meetings like little gifts. You should see how it lifts the weight from our shoulders. Let's keep up this positive spirit in the face of such difficulty. And thank you!
There's one more thing you can do as family--re-connect with nature. The kids will remember those times and it will lighten their hearts in the future when they face challenges. We must seize the moment, celebrate the outdoor places we love--and never take them for granted.
Four years after the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded, sending more than 200 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, wildlife are still struggling.
NWF is on-the-ground coordinating the restoration efforts with coalition partners.
The editors of Ranger Rick offer tips for talking about the oil spill with your kids.
In 1989, the Exxon Valdez oil tanker spilled 10.8 million of oil into the Prince William Sound in Alaska. How will the Gulf oil disaster compare?

Nice Hammock
By dashizzle
from New York
About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Best Uses
Comments about Leisure Lounge Deluxe:
This is a great hammock for multiple animals in a cage- it is big and comfortable. My only complaint is that the straps are too long so you have to hang the hammock quite low. I prefer to put the hammocks so they can be accessed from the upper levels, but if you hang this from the top of the cage, it can be awkward to get into from higher levels, and even after the straps are adjusted it still makes it long. I have a nearly identical hammock from ware and the only difference is the straps are much much shorter and aren't adjustable, I tend to prefer that one a bit more. If the straps could be adjusted a little more, it would be even better than that one. Other than that, no complaints.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Excellent Long-Distance Companion !
By Swanee
from Overland Park, KS
This is my 3rd Airhawk; the 1st going with the sale of my BMW K1200LT after 15,000 miles of riding including a 4,000 mile trip through the Rockies while the 2nd was lost from under the butt of a squirming, inexperianced rider aboard my BMW K1200R. The latter Airhawk also saw 15,000 miles of use on my K-R including a 3,500 mile trip down through the southeast including 4 aggressive runs along the Tail of the Dragon. Grreat product and well worth the price !
I haven't found anything, yet, that BikeBandit.com doesn't have and the AMA discount shows their "support of the sport" !
