June transplanting clematis?
I know you are supposed to transplant a clematis in the early spring. But, I didn't get around to it. It is June, can I move the clematis now or do I have to wait? I doubt it matters, but I will only be moving it about 2 feet.
I'll make it real simple.....I wouldn't :-) Not unless you absolutely have to and even then I think you are at great risk of losing the plant. And FWIW, fall is an excellent time for transplanting - root growth is very active in the fall and it will re-establish rapidly and it is less likely to disrupt the bloom season (as a spring transplant might). And there is usually lots of natural rainfall to keep the vine hydrated.
Zones can be so different regarding heat and rainfall and humidity. Here in Z:4 MN I have moved clematis anytime from spring into the fall and have never had any that haven't continued to grow and do well.
Cutting the vine back will help with root establishment in the new area but I don't always cut the vine back if it has buds and want to see it bloom.
I suggest you experiment and see what works in your zone. But if you can't take a chance that your plant won't survive then wait and move it when it cools down this fall. For me, clematis are tough plants, not fragile.
I too move clematis throughout the growing season, but sometimes I shade the plant to keep it from drooping in the scorching heat during summer. I have not seen any advantage of moving them in fall in my zone. I have found the best time to move them is in early spring as soon as the ground thaws.
Because one can doesn't mean one should :-))
It is never a good idea to transplant something in the midst of its primary growing season......it just stresses the plant unnecessarily, especially something that has a rather fussy root system, like clematis.
There are all sorts of reasons that influence the timing of these things that we often don't have a lot of control over but if there is not a very pressing reason to move now, I would wait. And as with any woody plant, planting or transplanting clematis in early fall after the top growth has halted for the season is very desirable. Root growth and elongation is at a higher level at this time of year and planting/transplanting at then gives the plant a headstart over late winter or early spring planting - they just re-establish much more rapidly.
I'm just outlining the accepted horticultural recommendations........it's your vine - you can do what you want.
gardengal, My clematis keep growing and blooming until the first hard frost/freeze. For my area, that can be any time between the end of September to about the middle of October, but it happens earlier or later some years. By that time, the night temps are already low, the soil gets too cold, so the roots don't do much growing after that. I know because I planted 4 clematis in fall one year (to hold them over until spring) then dug them up in spring as soon as the ground thawed. The roots showed little to no new growth.
It has been suggested that our fall season begins in the middle of August, which I can believe because the maple leaves are already starting to turn color, some years it's early August. The problem is, at that time of year, the ground is usually bone dry because most years it rarely rains in July and August. Plus it can still be hot during the day throughout August. By the time the day temps cool, the nights are already getting colder. The opportune window to transplant sometimes is so short you miss it.
Just a little anecdotal info... the 2 clematis I moved from a holding area into their new spots a couple of weeks ago were cut back, and started growing almost right away; no typical lag. One has buds, the other is growing like crazy.
Another.... I moved 3 group 2's last spring that weren't doing well in their location. I figured if they didn't do better this year, I'd get rid of them. All 3 are growing like crazy.
What I'm trying to say is that zone 4 is so different than zone 8. The original poster needs to find out what works in her location. I know, for example, the best time to move evergreens in our area is in fall and until the ground freezes. All the landscaper tuck away the deciduous shrubs and perennials to make room for the evergreens. It's not just me and msgal from Minnesota, it's our nursery owners and landscapers.

SWL Football: Chaparral looks to shake up the status quo in 2014The Pumas are poised, positive and preparing for the challenges aheadFriday, July 25th, 2014 Issue 30, Volume 18.
Chaparral has a tough core of returning veteran players who are solidifying into a formidable force in the league. "Our offensive line is the strength of our team" Coach Tukua said. "We return a lot of players and they have had a great off season. We expect a lot out of them and they are responding well so far." The Puma line consists of Mason Walton (65 282) Kyle Hoppe (61 274) and Bryson Bridges (63 254). All three were selected to the All Southwestern League Team last year. "We also love the way Adam Trout (62 224), Bryce Kwasney (63 273), Anthony Bertran (511 238), and Jordan Clark (62 221) have been competing" added Tukua. The Puma line will be a formidable force in the Southwestern League. Chaparral has a new Offensive Coordinator this season as Kris Plashspent takes over the Puma offense. Plashspent spent the past 8 years as the Head Coach at Orange Glen High School. He will have All League quarterback Austin Reza behind center and a tough running back in Ray Riley who is looking to move the chains for the Pumas on the ground. Receivers Alex Argent, Malachi Puckett, Khry Walton and Lloyd Hightower are talented and dangerous weapons for the junior quarterback. Stan Hunt is the Puma Defensive Coordinator and is now in his fourth season. He has four All Southwestern League players returning to his lineup. The Puma secondary will be tough to pass on as three of the returning All Leaguers are defensive backs Darrien Molton, Xavier Cardinal and Bradly Meeks. Injured Linebacker Malik Lawal also earned all league honors last season. He plans to be rehabbed and rejoin the starting lineup in the league opener against Temecula Valley. The Puma linebacker core is rock solid and consists of Koy Stewart, Isiah Hall, Stephan Fitzgerald, Ryan Boldt, and Mark Ziobro. Chaparrals defensive line has Ty Guevara, Bryson Bridges, and Dominique Houston supplemented by the linebackers. The Chaparral coaching staff consists of Jon Mitchell and Garet Bretfuss who coach the receivers, Shawn Sams the running backs and Andrew Ramer the O Line. Mike Wilga and Mynor Shultz are the linebacker coaches. Shannon Vinje and Adam Contreras are responsible for the defensive backs and Sean Cue coaches the defensive line. With all the emphasis on league play this season Tukua took it all in stride. "The most important game on our schedule is August 29th. Its the first game of the season and we need to work hard everyday to prepare for it. Our preseason will test us greatly and the league is as good as it has been. We want to play as a team and compete hard every day." 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!

i find this cream pleasant enough to wear and smell. its neither sticky nor thick - in fact it feels quite watery and easy to apply. the spf 15 comes as a bonus but i would prefer if it were spf 30. i think this cream is decent enough but not impressive.
More reviews by CoCoChaneLaddict
I worked for Estee Lauder so i got the n/c daywear moisturizer for free...i have quite dry skin especially my forehead and cheek area, and this did not help at all!!! it is no where near moisturizing enough, so i got myself a sample of the dry cream and that stang! i had to wash it straight off coz it felt like my skin was on fire!!! thank goodness i didnt buy it!!
I've been using this product for a week now. It really does moisturize my skin, and I like that it has SPF15. It leaves my skin very smooth. I wish it was not so expensive. I will repurchase.

i received sample size of this and thought that it was good as i finished it and it did not broke me out. bought a full size jar and i've totally regretted it! my face was healing from acne and once i continue using this it broke me out badly! i really regret buying it!
More reviews by CStuartMonteith
This cream feels lovely on the skin and smells of cucumber. However, after a few days' usage, it irritates my eyes like nobody business. I was talking to a work colleague who told me that she experienced the same thing. I had previously tried the tinted version (which I think is now discontinued, probably due to this problem). It is a shame, because it does make my skin soft and moisturised. But due to this potentially damaging effect (I felt as if I had sand in my eyes), I will not be buying again.
I'm acne prone, dehydrated, combo skin, and this has become my unexpected HG. I think my problem before this product was that I was not using a hydrating enough moisturizer, as I am combination skin with some major oily spots, and afraid I'd look like a shiny mess, or get greasy from a moisturizer with SPF in it.
I use the normal/combination skin version, which leaves my skin soft, supple, hydrated, and glowing. It has a subtle cucumber smell, but it does not linger on the skin long. I only need about a nickel worth of product for my face and neck. Just finished a 0.5 oz sample jar which lasted about 1 1/2 months for me. The SPF 15 is more than enough for daily use for me, and does not make me greasy, a first for me.
Yes, this comes in a pot, but I really like pots, as I have full control over how much product I scoop out and I can get every last scrap out without the hassle of cutting a tube open. As long as you wash your fingers before you apply the contamination argument is moot.
My one negative is that this stuff IS crazy expensive. I also use EL's Advanced Night Repair serum at night. The combination of the two is magical. I've had people tell me I look perky and refreshed, even without makeup on. And that is worth the price.

I keep this in my rotation and use it 2-3 times a week. No breakouts- just glowy, hydrated skin. I previously used the oily-skin lotion version of this (came in a bottle with a pump) in my twenties and had to stop because it caused breakouts. Now in my late thirties, the cream version works very well for me.

I first discovered this on youtube by Pixiwoo. It is unbelievable the changes. In one weak of usage, my skin was very clear, very perfect. I was even doing some research on Internet to see if there was some chemicals in it. I haven't found anything.
I do have good skin but since few months I was broking out with my usual Khiel's ultra moisturizer. (I've been using this for years).
I bought the version for mixed complexions because summer is coming but I the rich version had a really nice texture. Will definetly buy it for next winter. Highly recommend it. If you want results fast, this is pretty effective!
This was the first product I have ever bought in terms of a facial moisturizer. Considering that I have no products to put this product against, I am only giving it 4 stars. I love how it has a delicate cucumber scent, and is very soft. When used in conjunction with other facial regimen products (I use a full Estee Lauder line), I think this product is a great moisturizer and leaves my skin super soft and silky smooth. I don't know if the SPF 15 is going to be enough since I live in AZ where it is sunny almost constantly, but it will definitely help. This does moisturize, smooth, soften, and help to protect from the sun.

Barker plays for reserves today
Long time absentee Shaun Barker will hopefully make a return to football today against Sheffield United reserves
After nearly seven months on the sidelines, it is hoped that Shaun Barker will have his first full game of football on the long road to recovery following knee surgery.
Barker who missed the later stages of the Championship campaign last season after the Rams were safe from relegation, had what was thought at the time to be routine surgery to clear the knee of loose items. He was intended to be out of action for just the summer months and return just a few weeks into the season, but set backs have meant the lengthy lay-off.
Given the all clear to resume full training last month Shaun is now keen to see what he can do in a full game and then return to the first team squad soon.
The Rams also had further good news when Paul Green, who has also been out of action for seven months following cruciate knee ligament damage, also looks set for a run out with the reserves today in Sheffield...

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — A federal judge in Connecticut has dismissed the claims of a man who said he owned a Van Gogh painting that's been on display at Yale University for about 50 years.
On Thursday, Judge Alvin Thompson granted Yale's request to deny the claims by Pierre Konowaloff, who says "The Night Cafe" was stolen from his family during the Russian revolution.
Yale sued in 2009 to assert its ownership rights and to block Konowaloff from claiming it. Konowaloff sought the return of the painting, or damages, and valued the painting at $120 million to $150 million.
The judge agreed with Yale's argument citing the act of state doctrine in which courts don't examine the validity of foreign governments' expropriation orders. He called the piece one of the world's most renowned paintings.

One of my favorite stock lists that includes quality dividend stocks is the Dividend Aristocrats list, maintained by Standard & Poors. In order for a company to qualify for membership in this elite group it has to have increased its dividend payments to shareholders for at least 25 consecutive years.
The typical dividend aristocrat is a mature company that has weathered the storms of many boom and bust cycles while continuing to increase dividend payments to shareholders. These companies as well as the dividend champions are the cornerstone to my dividend growth strategy. Although the list as a whole yields a little bit better than the overall market represented by the S&P 500, there are some hidden gems which have consistently achieved an above average dividend growth rate. A company which has a 12% dividend growth would double its dividend payment in 6 years. Thus if this stock has a dividend yield of 2% right now, 6 years from now the yield on cost would be 4%. If the dividend payment keeps growing at the same growth rate, the yield on cost would be close to 12% in twelve years after the initial investment. In order to find such stocks, I researched the dividend aristocrats and selected the 20 stocks with the highest dividend growth for the past 10 years. (Period ending in 2007). You could also open the spreadsheet from here.
Just because the dividend growth rate for a particular stock is not in the double digits does not automatically mean that the stock is not a buy and vice versa. It all depends on your investing goals and experience. If you are a retiree looking for another source of income then the higher yielding slower growing dividend stocks like ED or TEG would constitute the majority of your portfolio. However if you are not going to tap your dividend income for one or two decades then the lower yielding high dividend growth stocks will have a higher weight in your income portfolio.
The only thing that is constant of course if change, thus a company which is rapidly growing its dividends might not grow them at such a fast rate in the future or might even consider cutting the payments to shareholders and vice versa. Thus, a successful dividend investor would construct a portfolio that is a blend of higher yielding and lower yielding dividend stocks, growing their payments at varying rates.

20 Top High Dividend Growth Stocks
Posted by D at 5:30 AM
5 comments:
Thanks for this...good to see the longer-term perspective of increasing dividends. I'm new to investing and since finding stocks with healthy dividends is one of my goals I've naturally been curious about REITs--ABR, NRF, RAS etc. in particular which are promising yields of 15% or more. Considering that their prices seem to have stabilized in the past few months, would you consider these stocks as part of a viable income-generating plan? There may not be room for the dividend itself to grow, but the potential capital gains would surely make up for it. Would love to know your thoughts on this in a future post perhaps. I know you've covered other REITs previously, but none which had such a high starting yield.
Naturally, ABR and NRF haven't been around for at least 10 years, so there isn't enough historical data to analyze. As for RAS i notice that it cut its payment in 2007 by almost 50%. I tend to dislike dividend cutters. I think that RAS could cut its payment pretty soon, as the current dividend payment appears unsustainalble to me. Sorry to burst your enthusiasm.

Hong Kong extends ban on live poultry imports from China
Published on Feb 18, 2014 8:08 PM
HONG KONG (AFP) - Hong Kong officials said on Tuesday they were extending for four months a ban on live poultry imports from mainland China to guard against the potentially deadly H7N9 avian flu.
The city imposed a 21-day ban in January and culled some 20,000 chickens after the virus was found in one batch of imported chickens.
Health minister Ko Wing-man told reporters there are plans to set up a facility where imported poultry can be quarantined to ensure they are disease-free before being sent to market.
After four months, "we will liaise with mainland authorities about the supply of live poultry to Hong Kong", he said.

had a mc at 5 wks. on 11/20. I know we were supposed to wait to ttc, but i just couldn't esp w everyone telling me this was a very fertile time!!! so we are trying again, my question is when should I test? AF always came on the 15th of each month, but since the mc im betting my cycle is all messed up. any suggestions
recent m/c... when to test
Comments (6)
Sorry for your loss. That is always so sad. After my last mc I got AF about 2 weeks late and was fairly regular after that. We started trying again right away too but with no luck.
You might want to try temping for a few mornings. Or maybe POAS around your usual AF date? I think that you are going to have to be very in tune with what your body is telling you. Watch your cm and bbts and they may be able to tell you what's going on.
Good Luck!

Sorry for your loss. I m/c on 21 Nov. From what I've been told, the day that you started bleeding...from the m/c is usally day 1 of your cycle. My husband and I have also been trying this month. Im going to be testing around the 19-21. That is of course if I don't get AF.
Brooklyn Marie is here!
She was due Oct. 4th but decided to join us on
Sept. 29th at 4:51 a.m.!
I had the same result as wannabeamama - my cycle started about two weeks after the M/C. Interestingly, I've noticed AF has stuck around longer this time than usual. Best of luck to you!
ii would wait it out a little longer and if nothing by what you "think" should be AF then test but with my miscarriage it took me exactly a month to get AF and i dont think i ovulated at all that month. But i was also at 11 wk and had to have a D&C everyone is different but i would wait a little longer

You got me thinking back to mine. I thought that I had miscarried in mid October but thinking back it was the day after Halloween, so I must have gotten my positive in mid October and mc at 6 weeks on November 1st. This was 8 years ago so bear with me.
So m/c on November 1st. I was charting and my charts showed I ovulated on CD 21 (so would have been November 22nd). Then I finally took a pregnancy test on December 13th, which was 21dpo (was positive). I never had a period inbetween. The ultrasounds (had several throughout my pregnancy) kept showing me 10 days behind where I thought I was, which would have put ovulation on CD 31.
So after my miscarriage I ovulated somewhere between CD 21 and CD 31 (my ODS was a preemie so it was never verfied on my actual due date). We werent trying after the m/c because we decided to wait so I was shocked.
I just realized the dates.... exactly 8 years ago today was when I got my positive test coming straight off the miscarriage. That positive is currently sitting in his second grade glassroom after trying to get out of going to school this morning lol.
Silver (.)(.)
After my miscarriage in Sept it took 7 weeks for me to get a period. Everyone said not to TTC during that time but we did anyway. It was horrible waiting it out and not knowing for sure why I didn't get a period for so long. I don't chart but I normally can tell when I ovulate but I couldn't tell during that cylce.

Why won't Obama read the writing on the wall? Mubarak must go.
President Mubarak staying in power fuels instability in Egypt, jeopardizes the region, and threatens the process of free elections to come. After delayed statements of US support for freedom in Egypt, Obama can no longer afford to equivocate on Mubarak.
Los Angeles
The historically sweeping unrest in Egypt has established one incontrovertible truth: President Hosni Mubarak can no longer rule without compromising the geopolitical balance in the Middle East.
Even if the demonstrations fail to overthrow one of the longest-serving autocrats in modern history, then Mr. Mubarak will be an ineffective leader without any popular support. Egypt's pre-imminence in the Arab world will diminish with a weakened leader who has lost touch with the reality of a public intent on removing him from power.
This is not the time for doubt, waiting, or conditional support from the Obama administration. It must offer a clear statement that Mubarak needs to step down and allow for a transitional government to take over until free elections can be held.
Are you smarter than a US diplomat? Take our Foreign Service Exam.
Should Mubarak manage to stay in power, he would no longer be able to serve the interests of the US in the region. With no popular support or regional clout, Mubarak would be unable to contribute to the Palestinian-Israeli negotiations that President Obama desperately wants to get under way. And the secular nature of Egyptian society would suffer under a weakened leader who has historically kept Islamic extremists at arm's length.
Wavering message from Washington
The Obama administration still appears to be weighing its options as to how to respond to the unprecedented upheaval in Egypt. Even after late-issued support for the cause of democracy in Egypt and an overdue call for free elections, the US government has remained mum on whether Mubarak should stay.
The White House and State Department initially issued careful, measured statements – both denouncing violence and supporting the need for reforms, while also acknowledging Mubarak's role as an ally. Just yesterday, the State Department sent former ambassador to Egypt, Frank G. Wisner, to Cairo where he is "meeting with Egyptian officials and providing his assessment." If he carries with him any message from the White House, it has not been made public.
By the time the administration figures things out, the events on the ground may move too fast for an unequivocal response to be meaningful.

Measles vaccinations roil republican presidential race by TIME @FortuneMagazine February 3, 2015, 2:18 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons This post is in partnership with Time. The article below was originally published at Time.com. By Dan Hirschhorn and Rachel Janik, TIME The Republican presidential primary caught a case of the measles this week. Republicans who would prefer to be aiming their fire at President Obama and presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton instead found themselves debating whether or not parents should have to vaccinate their children for measles and where to draw the line between public health and parental choice. It all came against the backdrop of a measles outbreak that has passed 100 cases in the U.S. and amid scientific consensus on the issue that has long since been settled in favor of vaccination. Republican House Speaker John Boehner weighed in himself on Tuesday, saying that "all children ought to be vaccinated." "I'm a little shocked that we are having a discourse about the efficacy of vaccinations," said John Weaver, a moderate Republican strategist often critical of the party's conservative wing. "It's a shocking development. Our party has a reputation that's grown as being anti-science, and now we're going to be anti-public health?" The political outbreak started Monday when New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, traveling in England, said the government should "balance" public health and parental choice. "Mary Pat and I have had our children vaccinated and we think that it's an important part of being sure we protect their health and the public health," the Republican said. "I also understand that parents need to have some measure of choice in things as well, so that's the balance that the government has to decide." But Christie's comments prompted a quick backlash—and an almost-as-quick retreat from his office, which said Christie "believes vaccines are an important public health protection and with a disease like measles there is no question kids should be vaccinated." Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul, sensing an opening to project the libertarian-leaning philosophy he hopes to ride to the nomination, jumped at the chance to part with Christie, an establishment-friendly rival with whom he has often feuded. "I'm not anti-vaccine at all," Paul said during a radio interview, "but particularly, most of them ought to be voluntary. … I think there are times in which there can be some rules, but for the first part it ought to be voluntary." "[I've] heard of many tragic cases of walking, talking normal children who wound up with profound mental disorders after vaccines," Paul said in another interview. "The state doesn't own your children. Parents own the children, and it is an issue of freedom and public health." And Clinton took a chance to needle the other side as simply anti-science, an argument Democrats have pushed often when it comes to Republican resistance to fighting climate change. "The science is clear: The earth is round, the sky is blue, and #vaccineswork," she wrote on Twitter late Monday. "Let's protect all our kids. #GrandmothersKnowBest." The issue could prove surprisingly resonant if more measles cases erupt and candidates are forced to continue weighing in. That's partly because fear of vaccines cuts across party lines, with no significant differences between Republicans and Democrats, according to a 2014 Yale University study. But the study did find that conservatives are more supportive of religious exemptions to vaccination requirements, while liberals are more likely to support only strict medical exemptions. Scientific consensus overwhelmingly supports widespread vaccinations to achieve what's known as a "herd immunity," in which enough of the population is inoculated that those who can't or don't get vaccinated are also protected, and stories of vaccinations leading to disorders like the ones Paul alluded to have been repeatedly debunked. On Monday it fell to Ben Carson, a long-shot Republican presidential hopeful and a neurosurgeon, to be the lone GOP candidate mounting an unqualified defense of the science favoring vaccinations. "Although I strongly believe in individual rights and the rights of parents to raise their children as they see fit, I also recognize that public health and public safety are extremely important in our society," Carson said. "Certain communicable diseases have been largely eradicated by immunization policies in this country and we should not allow those diseases to return by foregoing safe immunization programs, for philosophical, religious or other reasons when we have the means to eradicate them." For Clinton, the entire spat is just one of many opportunities she'll have to exploit the lack of opposition she faces on the Democratic side to rise above disagreements that roil the large and fractured Republican filed. "This is just a potential flashpoint that draws an essential distinction between theories of government," Democratic strategist Chris Lehane said. "You can really compare and contrast."
Infrastructure: The State of the Union's other winner? by TIME @FortuneMagazine January 20, 2015, 11:25 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons President Obama only gave a brief nod to his trade agenda in his State of the Union speech Tuesday night. But it is a priority that has a strong likelihood of becoming law because trade, unlike most of his other proposals, also draws support from both the Republican leadership in Congress and the powerful business lobby. But there's another initiative the president talked up that could thread a similar needle. He also used his bully pulpit to tweak Republicans for fixating on building the Keystone XL pipeline, the 1,100 mile spigot that would carry crude from Canada to the Gulf Coast. Instead, he exhorted them to rally along with Democrats around an infrastructure spending plan that he said "could create more than thirty times as many jobs per year, and make this country stronger for decades to come" while rebuilding crumbling roads, bridges and ports. Indeed, infrastructure improvements draw broad support from pressure groups across the ideological spectrum. NAM president Jay Timmons brought it up, unprompted, earlier Tuesday in an interview with Fortune, as an area of agreement between business interests and the AFL-CIO. The question, of course, is how to pay for the projects. Transportation funding runs out later this year, a possible forcing mechanism for Congress to consider longer-term solutions. Republicans this year have signaled they may be willing to reconsider their longstanding opposition to raising the gas tax as one way to pay for new infrastructure investments. Call it another crack in the dam — or better yet, don't.
As prices fall at the pump, some lawmakers eye gas tax hike by TIME @FortuneMagazine January 7, 2015, 8:57 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons (REUTERS) – As gasoline prices plunge to the lowest level in more than five years, some lawmakers see a golden opportunity to bump up taxes at the pump to help pay for the repair of crumbling roads and bridges. Fuel taxes have been flat for more than 20 years, starving the Highway Trust Fund of revenue used for rising infrastructure repair costs. Lawmakers have fueled the fund with last-minute short-term injections of cash, but want to find a more permanent fix. Last July, before a similar deadline, Republican Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee and Democrat Chris Murphy ofConnecticut proposed raising federal gasoline and diesel taxes by 12 cents a gallon over two years from the current 18.4 cents. The idea failed to take hold, for the same reason similar proposals failed in the past: the idea of raising taxes on consumers has been anathema to lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, particularly for conservatives who have signed pledges not to hike taxes. Republican Senator Jim Inhofe, the new chairman of the Senate Environment Committee, said on Wednesday a gasoline tax, or "user fee," as he prefers to call it, was one of the measures "on the table" as his panel works on a new transportation bill this year. But Inhofe stopped short of supporting such a fee. He said it was unlikely the measure could gain enough support for the Senate to pass it soon. Even if it did, fuel prices could be on their way up by the time legislation passes, he said. Dick Durbin, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, said he favored increasing the gas tax but that it should be coupled with relief for consumers through tax credits or other means. "I think now's the time to do it, but we ought to do it in a thoughtful way," Durbin told reporters. President Barack Obama has said he wants to work with Republicans to fund infrastructure through a corporate tax reform package. The White House has made clear Obama is not advocating an increase in the gasoline tax but is willing to look at it if there is a groundswell of support for the move. Obama told business leaders last month he would talk to Republican leaders to see whether proposals for a gas tax hike "have any legs," but he acknowledged that "votes on a gas tax are really tough" for lawmakers.
U.S. House narrowly passes spending bill, averts government shutdown by TIME @FortuneMagazine December 11, 2014, 11:39 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons (REUTERS) – The U.S. House of Representatives narrowly passed a $1.1 trillion spending bill to avert a government shutdown on Thursday less than three hours before a midnight deadline, overcoming strenuous Democratic objections to controversial financial provisions. Shortly after the 219-206 vote, the House passed a 48-hour extension of funding to keep government offices open while the Senate considers the broader measure. Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said the Senate would begin that debate on Friday. The spending bill was nearly killed earlier on Thursday by a revolt among Democrats over provisions to roll back part of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law and allow more big money political donations. But President Barack Obama and his administration waged a last-ditch campaign to persuade Democrats to set aside their objections, arguing that if it failed, the party would get a worse spending deal next year when Republicans take control of the Senate and have a stronger House majority. The effort to save the bill marked a rare moment of teamwork between Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, who simultaneously worked to persuade conservative Republicans to support it. In the end, 67 Republicans voted against the measure, largely because it failed to take action to stop Obama's executive immigration order. But that was offset by 57 Democrats who voted in favor. The 1,603-page measure, negotiated by Republican and Democratic appropriators and leaders, drew Democrats' ire when they discovered it would kill planned restrictions on derivatives trading by large banks, allowing them to continue trading swaps and futures in units that benefit from federal deposit insurance and Federal Reserve loans. If passed by the Senate, the spending bill would provide the Department of Homeland Security with funds through Feb. 27. Republicans intend to deny funding to the agency to carry out Obama's order allowing millions of undocumented immigrants to stay and work in the United States.
So long, Ebola Czar. Ron Klain is heading back to the private sector. by TIME @FortuneMagazine December 6, 2014, 7:18 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons With the Ebola crisis seemingly in hand, Ron Klain, the veteran political operative the White House plucked from a venture capital gig to coordinate the government's response, is planning a late-winter return to the private sector. Klain has committed to former AOL chief Steve Case that by March 1, he'll be back on the job as president of Case Holdings and general counsel for Case's venture firm Revolution LLC, Case tells Fortune. An administration official confirmed the plan. "He has no intention of staying on in any other capacity here at the White House," the administration official said. "Ron will do the job for which he was appointed and return to Revolution." Klain's role as the White House's "Ebola czar" was always meant to be temporary. He took a leave of absence from Revolution in late October to join the administration as a special government employee — a technical designation for short-termers that stipulates they'll stay on the job no longer than 130 days. But there has been active speculation, fueled by a POLITICO report, that Klain would stay on in the White House in another role, potentially succeeding John Podesta as Counselor to the President, if Podesta quits to run a Hillary Clinton presidential campaign. Contrary to the chatter, Case said the expiration date on Klain's public service has been well understood within the White House. Talks to bring Klain aboard proceeded rapidly — Case said they started two days before the White House announced the appointment on Oct. 17 — and that Klain "was not eager to take on this assignment but felt it was an important thing to do. He agreed to do it with the understanding that it would be for a limited period of time." A behind-the-scenes operator by temperament, Klain found himself thrust into a vortex of crisis-driven fears and politically motivated recriminations upon being named to tackle the challenge. Two weeks out from the midterm elections, the White House looked badly off-balance. The outbreak was defying official assurances the situation was under control — two nurses treating a Liberian man in Dallas contracted the disease, revealing containment protocols porous as a chain-link fence. Congressional calls for a travel ban piled up as cable news whipped public concern toward panic. Klain's appointment did little to calm nerves. Republicans leapt on the selection of a political hand — Klain served as chief of staff to then-Vice President Al Gore and worked for Vice President Joe Biden coordinating the launch of the 2009 stimulus package — as a signal the White House was treating the Ebola threat as a political headache. Even Saturday Night Live took up the GOP line, lampooning Klain's lack of healthcare expertise. Seven weeks on, however, the disease has all but fallen off the radar. A surgeon who contracted Ebola in his native Sierra Leone died in a Nebraska hospital on Nov. 17, bringing the total U.S. death to two, and no new cases have surfaced since. The White House touted the progress under Klain in a Monday memo, noting the 32 new designated treatment facilities, 29 labs newly equipped to test for the disease, an enhanced screening system for travelers from abroad and the completion of the first phase of clinical trials for a vaccine. While it's of course tough to know how much of that would have been achieved without Klain's involvement, the administration official said he gets credit for "building the airplane mid-flight. You really need someone who's at the bellybutton of this, who can call upon all of the resources of the United States government. That person has to sit at the White House, where Ron, as he currently does, has ready access to the President and all of his senior-most advisors, and is able to ensure the response is adequately resourced and synchronized both at home and overseas." Klain still has plenty to do. At the moment, his work is focused on securing Congressional support for Obama's $6.2 billion request to fund a range of emergency response measures, even though any sense of emergency has palpably drained away. The President himself traveled to the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md. on Tuesday to press the case, but the ask is tangled in a broader budget dispute and Congressional Republicans are unlikely to meet it in full. That said, the best testimonial to the low-key Klain's performance may be his success in disappearing back behind the curtain. Fortune asked four of the most outspoken Congressional Republican critics of his appointment to weigh in on how he's done so far. All declined to comment. "He's perfectly fine not getting credit," says Case. "In fact, he prefers it."
Washington, reshuffled: What to expect from politics in 2015 by TIME @FortuneMagazine December 4, 2014, 9:18 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Reality is already catching up with the post-midterm dream of a bipartisan Kumbaya in Washington. With one notable exception, not much is going to get done — unless you count posturing for the 2016 presidential contest as an accomplishment. That said, the race for the White House will have its own clarifying effect on both political parties, especially the GOP, still mid-reinvention. At least one big thing will get done on Capitol Hill Photo by Mark Wilson—Getty Images We'd like to be upbeat, but we'd rather be right. With the political center of gravity drifting out to the 2016 trail, newly empowered Congressional Republicans will spend the year firing rubber bullets at Obama's shrinking presidency. That means no grand bargain-scale deals on tax or immigration reform. There may be one important exception, though: Next year look for progress on trade deals, including a long-awaited pact with Pacific Rim countries. John Kasich will emerge as the Republican's 2016 darkhorse The field of Republican presidential maybes is wide enough to include multiples. There are the base-stoking fire breathers (Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee); the business-friendly establishment stalwarts (Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush); the blue-state governors marshaling a get-it-done executive attitude (Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie). Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul defies a match and will be a force. But so will another figure so far receiving far less notice. Ohio Gov. John Kasich will not only make the race — he'll remake the debate with his populist twist on compassionate conservatism. Julian Castro will be the veep frontrunner Photo by Deborah Cannon-Pool—Getty Images Hillary Clinton's overwhelming dominance means the only real contest on the Democratic side is whom she'll pick as her running mate.

House sues Obama over health care law by TIME @FortuneMagazine November 21, 2014, 1:54 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons This post is in partnership with Time. The article below was originally published at Time.com By Alex Rogers, TIME House Republicans sued the Obama Administration on Friday over how it has implemented the health care reform law, taking legal action after threatening to do so for months. The House sued the cabinet secretaries for the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of the Treasury, and filed the case in the U.S. District Court for Washington D.C., House Speaker John Boehner's office said. At issue are administrative tweaks the Administration has made during the course of implementing the law. "Time after time, the President has chosen to ignore the will of the American people and re-write federal law on his own without a vote of Congress," Boehner said in a statement. "That's not the way our system of government was designed to work. If this president can get away with making his own laws, future presidents will have the ability to as well. The House has an obligation to stand up for the Constitution, and that is exactly why we are pursuing this course of action." The lawsuit went unfiled for months after House Republicans first floated it. Legal experts have been skeptical of its chances of success. Boehner said in July that the House would sue President Barack Obama for twice delaying the Affordable Care Act's mandate that businesses with more than 50 full-time employes provide insurance or pay a fee—a provision Republicans oppose anyway. The suit also alleges that the law does not allow the executive branch to transfer funds to insurance companies to reduce out-of-pocket payments for low-income enrollees, as Congress has not appropriated the money for that purpose. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that those cost-sharing subsidies for low-income Americas—those at two-and-a-half times the poverty level, or $11,670 to $29,175 a year for an individual—will cost $175 billion over the next ten years. Republicans had trouble finding a lawyer to pursue the case, but Boehner found his man this week in George Washington Law School professor Jonathan Turley, who had testified in favor of such a lawsuit this summer. House Republican aides have suggested the lawsuit could be expanded to include the Obama's executive actions taken this week to grant temporary legal status to millions of immigrants in the country illegally, but Turley has said in the past that expanding the lawsuit would weaken it. House Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi ridiculed the lawsuit as a political stunt. "After scouring Washington for months, Republicans have finally found a TV lawyer to file their meritless lawsuit," Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said in a statement Friday. "While the American people want Congress to get serious about creating good-paying jobs and strengthening the middle class, House Republicans are paying $500-an-hour in taxpayer money to sue the President of the United States. The fact is, this lawsuit is a bald-faced attempt to achieve what Republicans have been unable to achieve through the political process."
What Republicans learned from 2012's "War on Women" rhetoric by TIME @FortuneMagazine November 7, 2014, 3:29 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons So… How did the "War on Women" platform work out for the Democrats this election cycle? Not too well. Let's start with the WOW campaign's poster-girl, Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis. She lost by nearly 20 points, the worst drubbing of a Texas Democrat seeking the statehouse since George W. Bush's landslide in 1998. Davis even lost Democratic strongholds—and women. Just last year the national media had embraced Davis as a celebrity—practically the second coming of feminism—after her filibuster of a bill restricting abortions in Texas. Democrats were hoping she could deliver the Lone Star state—facing the same diverse demographics now killing the GOP in California—into their column. True, Davis had an uphill climb as a Democrat in a red state, but let's not forget that a female political legend climbed it before—former Texas Governor Ann Richards. Instead, this week media darling Wendy Davis turned out to be a political dud—a weak candidate with a muddled message. Now, let's turn to the WOW poster-boy, Colorado Senator Mark Udall, who made the GOP's supposed war on women's reproductive rights the centerpiece of his campaign. Udall's laser focus on birth control and abortion earned him the campaign-trail nickname "Mark Uterus." Republican congressman Cory Gardner dodged the WOW caricature—even running ads supporting over-the-counter birth control. Instead, Udall was the one who became the object of ridicule; the incumbent Democrat lost by 2 points in a state that Obama handily carried two short years ago. Remember Sandra Fluke, the former law student who shot to fame in 2012 when Republicans wouldn't let her testify on behalf of free Obamacare birth control? Fluke lost her California state senate race, to a Democrat, by a whopping 61 to 39. There are some lessons here. It is true that when it comes to women, there have been a few truly horrific voices emanating from the political right—talk show host Rush Limbaugh suggesting Fluke's position made her a "slut," (he later apologized for "insulting" word choices); 2012 Senate candidate Todd Akin's assertion that women rarely get pregnant from "legitimate rape"; candidate Richard Mourdock's refusal to apologize for saying God "intended" the children of rape. All of those comments —and more—left Republican leaders, especially women, tearing their hair out. This time around, party leaders played smart. Together with big donors like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Karl Rove's American Crossroads, they moved early and aggressively to search out viable general-election candidates, successfully keeping fringe actors out of the GOP mix. Lacking candidates from "the caveman caucus" to offer up outrageous comments, the WOW campaign couldn't gain traction. Instead, we heard GOP candidates telling voters they supported over-the-counter birth control "covered by insurance." But this election was also a stark reminder that women voters don't care only about health issues. Reproductive rights don't rank high on the list of female-voter priorities—especially at a time when wages are stagnating and ISIS is beheading Americans. And even when the issue being debated is reproduction, women disagree. Take late-term abortions: The Texas bill that rocketed Wendy Davis to fame as the supposed protector of women's rights included a ban on abortions after 20 weeks. Yet a nationwide 2013 National Journal poll showed a majority of women supporting the ban—and in greater numbers than men. The WOW campaign worked for Democrats in 2012—but also taught GOP leaders important lessons. The President's clash with the Catholic Church over the Obamacare birth control mandate (which extended to church-affiliated groups) turned out to be a brilliant political tactic. By injecting the words "birth control" into a heated primary election season, Obama and the Democrats succeeded in throwing Republicans on the defense. Suddenly the party was faced with social conservative Rick Santorum declaring birth control "not okay," followed by the Akin-Mourdock debacles. The GOP brand suffered mightily, especially with women. The Republican Party's demographic problems are far from over. This was a low-turnout election mostly populated by white, older voters. In 2016, the GOP still needs to make inroads with Hispanics, younger voters—and women. But this week's election results show it's not a lost cause. "From the MPW Co-chairs" is a series where the editors who oversee the Fortune Most Powerful Women brand share their insights about women leaders.
Will the Republican victory lift stocks? by TIME @FortuneMagazine November 5, 2014, 6:49 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Republicans scored a big victory in Tuesday's election by retaking control of the Senate. But was it also victory for investors? Analysts say Wall Street is too complex to reduce to a simple yes or no based on the results of an election. History provides a similarly cloudy picture. Republicans, as a party, are considered to be more Wall Street-friendly than their counterparts across the aisle. But a GOP victory had been expected for some time, meaning the election results are likely already priced into stocks. John Canally, chief economics strategist at LPL Financial, predicted that U.S. markets will make a strong post-election finish in 2014. But his optimism isn't exactly something new because he had expected continued gains in stocks well before Tuesday's election results. The stock market generally rises in the fourth quarter, and that is especially true following a mid-term election, according to Canally. He noted that the market rose in 88% of fourth-quarters in mid-term election years since 1950, regardless of which political party was in power. Even before the voters cast their ballots this week, the market looked primed for a strong fourth quarter, Canally said. A number of high-profile companies reported strong results in recent weeks. The U.S. economy has also been strong with gross domestic product rising at an annual rate of 3.5% in the most recent quarter, fueling optimism about the rest of the year and beyond. Still, Canally noted that investors had expected a Republican win and, as a result, some more business-friendly legislation like immigration reform and approval of the Keystone XL pipeline. Canally does not expect major corporate tax reform to hit anytime soon, though. He expects the technology and industrial sectors to be the strongest going forward, but investors could also be "warming up" to energy stocks with the expectation that a Republican-led Congress would likely pass policies that benefit the energy industry. In fact, energy companies are already among those to get a lift from Tuesday's election results, as their shares jumped Wednesday after a mostly bad year because of falling oil prices. The healthcare sector should also remain strong heading into next year, Canally added. The fact that Republicans did not win enough seats to beat a filibuster means that they will likely be unable to repeal Obamacare, a thorn in the side of conservatives but a friend to the healthcare sector. For the record, both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 closed at record highs on Tuesday. Nasdaq dipped slightly, but remains near its highest levels of the past 14 years. History suggests that the market will have continued success through April. The six month period starting in November tends to be the strongest period for stocks, particularly following a midterm election. Over the past 70 years, the S&P 500 has averaged a 15.3% gain during the six months that followed a mid-term election, according to S&P Capital IQ. Another historical detail to consider is how the market performs with a Democrat in the White House and a Republican majority in Congress. The answer: That lineup has provided the S&P 500 with its best performances, according to Standard & Poor's Equity Research. Canally says that finding likely draws from a relatively small sample size with a number of variables (the last time this was the case, for instance, Bill Clinton was in office during a tech boom). But he does feel that having two parties in power in Washington, D.C. can also create an environment in which politicians are forced to work together, creating more bipartisan policy. Looking ahead, a lot of the market's success depends on at least some new market-friendly policies getting passed, which means bipartisan support will be needed. Senate Majority Leader frontrunner Mitch McConnell has expressed an eagerness to work with Democrats to pass new legislations, while President Obama said Wednesday that the White House was also amenable to working with the Republican-led Congress. But, if McConnell and Speaker of the House John Boehner face any leadership challenges from the more conservative side of the Republican party, that could get in the way of bipartisan policy. "If it's the current leadership of the GOP, I think that's more market-friendly, because they're more willing to work with the president," Canally says. On the other hand, if the two parties are unwilling to work together, the markets may dip. He gave the example of another standoff over raising the federal debt ceiling, which Canally says the "markets clearly do not want to see again."
The economy and the election: Why are voters so upset? by TIME @FortuneMagazine November 5, 2014, 3:48 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons The American people have spoken, and they're more than a little pissed off. This frustration manifested itself in Tuesday's election results, in which Republicans took back the Senate. At the same time, exit polls showed that only 40% of those voters actually approved of the job being done by Congressional Republicans. In fact, Congressional Democrats got a slightly higher approval rating from voters overall, according to CNN, even as they lost seats in both the House and the Senate. In other words, while it's clear that the Republican Party won big on Tuesday night, the election wasn't a win for either party in terms of convincing the American public that they have the answers for what ails us. What's worrying American most? The economy. In exit polls, 7 in 10 Americans said they were "concerned" about economic conditions in America. For those of us who pay close attention to financial markets and economic data, the fact that Tuesday's protest election was primarily a product of economic insecurity might seem a bit strange. After all, the latest GDP figures suggest that economic growth might be finally kicking into a higher gear, job growth has been stronger in the past year than in any time since the financial crisis, and the Federal Reserve has finally begun the process of slowly removing its monetary stimulus from the system. Financial markets are just as perky as the economic data, with the Dow hitting another all-time high on Wednesday, and the price of gold—seen as as a safe haven from economic calamity—continues its years-long decline. The above chart shows the price of iShares Gold Trust, which has tumbled more than 35% since gold hit its peak roughly three years ago. So what explains the disconnect between the average American, who clearly is worried about the economy, and investors, who are fleeing safe havens for the risky climbs of the stock market? Ask gold enthusiasts, and they'll tell you that the average American knows something that investors don't: Republicans won the senate because voters think the economy is weak. Gold prices are falling because investors think the economy is strong. — Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) November 5, 2014 Peter Schiff, radio host and chief strategist at Euro Pacific Capital, is one of the most vocal supporters of gold, and one can understand the attraction of his specious explanation of yesterday's election results. It's common sense voters of the American heartland, he's positing, rather than the Wall Street types who influence financial markets, who really understand what's going on in the economy. Schiff has argued in the past that the government is understating inflation, and that inflation is actually running at upwards of 8% or 10%, rather than the roughly 2% the government claims. Of course, since real GDP is calculated by subtracting inflation from nominal GDP growth, this would mean that the economy has actually been shrinking for years rather than growing slowly. It would also mean that there is a vast conspiracy on the part of government statisticians to paint a much different picture of the economy in terms of economic and job growth as well as inflation. There is a simpler and more elegant explanation, however, for why the American mood and financial markets are headed in opposite directions. And that is that the "economy" is improving, but the lives of most average Americans aren't. The median American can't pay for a vacation with rising GDP figures, or send his kid to school because of a good jobs report. For his life to improve, he actually has to see improvements in his personal income. And despite all the great economic news we've had in recent months, average Americans aren't seeing the benefits of those gains. Neither political party has a solution to this conundrum. Republicans argue that tax and regulation cuts will get the economy humming again, and bring back good-paying middle class jobs. There is some economic theory to support this claim, but history shows us that the Bush tax cuts did nothing to raise median incomes or halt the decades-long rise in income inequality that we've experienced. Democrats argue for investing in education and infrastructure, and while these initiatives would surely bring some help, particularly to those the government directly employs, no stimulus project can in and of itself create the sort of broad-based gains in employment and income that Americans are thirsting for. Viewed through this lens, it's easy to see how the American public held their nose and voted for a party they don't particularly like. They're hurting financially and haven't the faintest idea what sort of policies are needed to help. But they're always willing to take a chance on change.

Officials in Mexico City are considering a new way to address the city's high divorce rates: by making marriages temporary. Couples would be allowed to decide on the length of their marriage (minimum license: two years), and the contracts would contain prenup-like legalese about financial support, how marital assets would be divided, and who gets custody of the kids.

STEPS OF FAITH DANCE COMPANY INC Reviews

Invite friends and colleagues to share their experiences with this nonprofit
August 9, 2012
We began our relationship with Steps of Faith, 10 plus years ago when my three daughters began dance instruction. Through out the elementary, middle and high schools years they grew in all areas of their young lives-as collge finally arrived all three chose performing arts majors, not surprising. The faculty at SOF gave them the courage and perseverance to pursue their dreams, taught them to balance their time rehearsing and studying (not easy with teenage girls), and most important-"what are the priorities in your life?" One became an entertainer at DisneyWorld-currently completing her graduate degree compliments of Disney, the second recieved an "add on college scholarship" of $7000 per year to dance on the nationally ranked dance team-not even majoring in dance, and the third is majoring in dance with a full acadmic scholarhsip. I am now a volunteer with this wonderful organziation.

Steps of Faith Dance Studio in Cartersville, GA has served our family for over 10 years. I started out as just a Mom with a young dancer. In a short amount of time, I saw the potential of this studio and the family oriented place it was. My daugher grew and thrived as a dancer with SOF, but most importantly she grew to be a Christ directed leader. She received great training and wonderful technique which has led her to GEORGIA BALLET SUMMER INTENSIVE, AMERICAN BALLET THEATER SUMMER INTENSIVE, RADIO CITY ROCKETTE SUMMER INTENSIVE 2007 & 2009, she has been an instuctor in several dance studios in GA and TN, and has danced in Norway, Sweden, Trinidad, and Spain. Words can not express how we feel about SOF. Our family will continually support Steps of Faith in every way possible.
