The link between antidepressants and suicide is VERY tenuous. However the link between untreated depression and other mental illnesses and suicide has been proven over and over. If one is depressed, clinical use of antidepressants is safer than no treatment. HOWEVER, antidepressants are NOT recreational. They can be dangerous to your circulatory system in large doses, and there are no antidotes to overdoses.

I would know I trade my adderal xr for hits of good dope . Don't abuse selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. scientists have found a link between serotonin imbalances and self loathing just ask the razor blade scares on my leg. not only that but my freind did the same thing and none of us had any prior knowledge of each other doing it the only thing we had in common was the fact thatwe both OD 'ed on Zoloft (another SSRI) DON'T TRY TO ABUSE ANTI-DEPRESSANTS

Ok, so strattera is an ssri, how does it work for add? Does that mean prozak or something of the sort would be effective too?
Posted March 10 2005 - 04:55 PM
There is NO RECREATIONAL VALUE to Strattera, and taking large amounts is harmful to your liver. I would not play with it.
Antidepressants DO NOT CAUSE SUICIDE!!! Depression causes suicide. Don't buy into media hype! The study cited by the FDA had ZERO completed suicides in the treatment group, but did have completed suicides in the control (non medicated) group. I don't know why this warning linking antidepressants to suicide was ever published. . .

Some info about this drug, which is NOT a stimulant.
(Pronounced Stra-tair-a)
Strattera is the first and only non-stimulant medication approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children, adolescents, and adults. Strattera is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, a class of ADHD treatment that works differently from the other ADHD medications available. Strattera is available by prescription only.
What are the Benefits of Strattera?
Proven Safe and Effective
Six clinical trials have proven Strattera to be safe an effective in treating all symptoms of ADHD. Over 2 million prescriptions for Strattera have been filled since the FDA approved it in 2002.
All-day ADHD Symptom Relief
Strattera provides full-day relief of ADHD symptoms from school/work through family time, when taken as directed once or twice a day.
Not a Stimulant
If you have previous experience with stimulant medications, you might have been able to observe an immediate impact when it took effect and could also tell when it stopped working. You will not experience this with Strattera, since it is not a stimulant.
Even Symptom Management
Your system adjusts to Strattera gradually over the first month of taking it, and it can provide effective and even ADHD symptom management from that point on.
Low risk of Appetite Suppression and Insomnia in Children and Adolescents
With Strattera, once your child adjusts to the medication, their appetite and ability to get sleep return to their usual pattern.
No Abuse Potential
Strattera has been clinically proven not to have abuse potential, because it does not have stimulant effects on the brain
Convenience of Phone-In Refills
Because Strattera is not a controlled substance, it offers the conveience of phone-in refills between doctor's visits
They can give refills as well as samples of this drug. They cannot do this with any drug which is considered a "abuse potential." I would not mess with this drug, unless you have a legit prescrip.

Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
The effect of quasi-hydrostatic pressure up to 2000 MPa on the temperature dependence of the electrical resistance is investigated in polycrystalline bismuth antimony (Bi-Sb) alloys containing 10, 12 and 15 at. % antimony. The results obtained indicate semimetallic phase under pressure for the alloys with antimony content of 10 and 15 at. %. The alloy with 12 at. % antimony changes its phase from semiconducting to semimetallic (SC→SM) under pressure. These pressure induced electronic transitions from SC→SM are due to basic changes in the energy spectrum occurring with the disappearance of electron and hole constant energy surfaces.

Haiti aftershock stirs panic, could hinder last-ditch rescue efforts
There were no immediate reports of serious damage after a 6.1 earthquake hit 35 miles west of Port-au-Prince this morning. But the aftershock could affect Haiti aid efforts that have finally gathered steam after last week's 7.0 quake.
Marco Dormino/Reuters
Port-au-Prince, Haiti; and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
The powerful aftershock that struck Haiti early this morning incited panic among residents who are sleeping in the streets and could hinder rescue efforts as the clock ticks to save those buried alive under the rubble.
Registering at a magnitude of 6.1, it is the largest aftershock since the devastating quake a week ago Tuesday killed tens of thousands of people and left hundreds of thousands wounded and homeless.
There were no immediate reports of serious damage after the latest earthquake, centered 35 miles southwest of Port-au-Prince, but it could hamper aid efforts, which have finally gained steam after Haitians complained that food and water were not reaching their settlements
"This morning, we ... ran into the street," said an elderly woman who now sleeps with her family in a tent outside their damaged home. "[The aftershock] was really strong, really really strong. I'm afraid of this house, the tent is too close to the house, but we have nowhere else to go."
Many aftershocks
Dozens of aftershocks have shaken the earth in Haiti in the week after the quake.
In one hotel where many foreign journalists are holed up, scores run out from the badly damaged structure each time the ground shakes. Even those with hotel rooms opt to sleep outside under the stars, in case another quake takes the shaky building to the ground.
Many Haitians are doing the same. Those whose homes were not damaged have opted to sleep outside, with little idea of what fissures may remain in their homes and what damage a strong aftershock might cause.
Carmen German, who is living in the main plaza in the colonial town of Léogâne, one of the worst-hit areas, says she is sleeping outside with her family because they have no idea if more structures will fall around them. "We are afraid," she said.

Ray Romano returns as Hank the photographer for the fifth season of "Parenthood."
Jolly ol' England
Leslie (Amy Poehler) celebrates her TV marriage and a new season of "Parks & Recreation" (7 p.m., KARE, Ch. 11) with a full hour in London. Seeing how she got to meet Joe Biden last season, we can only assume she'll be holding court with William and Kate.
Big is back
"The Big Bang Theory" (7 p.m., WCCO, Ch. 4) returns with Leonard (Johnny Galecki) on the road. You know what that means: more awkward interaction between Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and Penny (Kaley Cuoco) and perhaps another rendition of "Soft Kitty."
Meet the parents
Ray Romano returns for the season premiere of "Parenthood" (9 p.m., KARE, Ch. 11), a show that deserves more attention from Emmy voters and viewers. Among this year's story lines: trouble in the marriage between Joel (Sam Jaeger) and Julia (Erika Christensen).

Hello fellow summoners! Firstly allow me to apologize for any grammatical errors In this post, I'm writing using my phone with a LoL forum app for android. And here in Australia it is nearly 1 o clock, AM that is lol. Anyways, I wouldn't call myself a pro. But I don't think Im horrible either, have around 360 wins on my account. (Plus plenty on a friends). And I'm looking to make the transition into ranked matches. So far I've only played one (and lost) as jax. So any general tips would be appreciated, but specifically those to the champion swain regarding ranked. I recently bought swain, and he is by far my favorite champ now. How does he fit Into the current Meta? what lanes and roles can he fufill? I ask because ranked games are obviously different to normal and seem to have a strict Meta. I can, and am prepared to use other champions if needed, but I'm not sure about swain as he APPEARS to be a tanky ish SUSTAINED mage, rather than a burst one. So is he for example viable solo top? A.d if so how would one build him? He seems flexible, as in many items suit him. Visage and vamp for sustain, RoA and scepter for slow and tankyness, chalice and AP for continued damage etcetera etcetera. TL;DR : I'm new to ranked, general tips? What roles does swain fufil, how do I build him? (Continued damage, sustain, Tanky mage?)
His burst is actually fairly powerful. Especially if you max e first. Which you should. In top lane he's pretty much situational counter pick only. Having no escapes sparing a long cd snare skill shot means most bruisers will rush him and eat him. But if you're against a champ like say nasus with no gap closer. You can easily abuse them I would just suggest a more Tammy/sustain based build. Revolver rush with roa and rylais. Mid he's abusive against a large number of champs. Just again be wary of high mobility burst/disable champs like ahri and lb. Though ahri can be outplayed. Lb will dump on you. Veigar also is an issue. But shorter range ap like ryze can be wittled down and killed. Then I again.would build a revolver then get higher damage like rabs/athenes/dfg. Bear in mind W eats mana bad. Also E amps the damage of dfg. So a WQE immediate dfg combo with R rolling will generally kill. Esp with ignite. His job is to either be tanky and.be that big angry bird in the middle of the fight. Or skirt around mid range comboing people out of the fight since Q and E are fairly short cd. Using ulti to amp damage or stay alive. All of his damage is based around dumping as much damage as possible during the 3 seconds e is on them. Hope I helped happy hunting.
Lvl 18 Zed
Swain is basically a tanky mage who goes in the middle of team fights and burst people. He is great in picking off squishy champs, make sure to gank often cause your ensare is really viable for an easy kill ( if you hit your target )
Thank you very much for the tips :)

Then, get a good spot to watch the fireworks. Pleasure Island is celebrating the Fourth a day early. Music starts at 6:00 pm. Fireworks light up the sky starting at 9:00 p.m.
Southport is home to one of the nation's oldest Fourth of July traditions. This week marks the 213th year that Southport has celebrated America's freedom. Every year, an average of 45,000 people line the streets to watch the parade. Festivities get underway tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. Get there early for a good seat!
Friday night, the 4th of July Riverfront Celebration kicks off at 5:00 in downtown Wilmington. At 9:05 p.m., the fireworks begin. The Battleship Blast is one of the largest fireworks displays in the state.
If you want to go, you can park on the street for free, or in a deck for $5.
Friday night, you have another option as you gather for the fireworks display. The Railroad Museum will be open until 8 p.m. Admission is $6 for adults and $3 for child.
Also, in case a historic home tour is on your list of things to do Friday, Burgwin-Wright House will be the only one open in downtown Wilmington on the Fourth of July.
It's a fitting weekend for the Hannah Block Historic USO building to reopen. The "Star Spangled Weekend" actually begins Thursday night when Wilmington is officially proclaimed "America's World War II City." Friday night, put on your boogie shoes. From 6:00 until 9:00 it is "Dancin' at the USO." Admission is free. On Sunday, from 1 p.m. until 5:00 p.m, the USO is holding an open house. At 3:00, there will be a tribute to African-American servicemen during the war. Tickets for the Sunday show are sold in advance.
Friday, if you want to take a break from the grill, celebrate Independence Day by grabbing your rod and reel. As a special treat, you can fish in any public water, including coastal waters, without a fishing license.
Celebrate the nation's independence at the battle site that convinced North Carolina to be the first state to call for the final break with England. Moores Creek Battlefield is holding activities all weekend long. There will be militia camps, musket firing, colonial medicine and other demonstrations.
Another historic site comes alive with classic cars Saturday.
The Classy Chassis Car Show and Country Flea Market begins at 9:00 a.m. at Poplar Grove Plantation. Judging begins at noon. The award ceremony starts at three.
When's the last time you participated in a sack race or tug-of-war? You can do that Saturday at the "Life is Good" festival in Wilmington.

Yes Virginia....the threat is real!
Possibility of wildfires threatens Virginia
By The Associated Press
Virginia scientists are warning that intense wildfires could
scorch state forests this fall because past fire-prevention
strategies and drought conditions have allowed dead wood and brush
to accumulate.
"Our expectations are that (the fire season) could be horrible
unless the weather pattern changes," said Shepard Zedaker, a fire
researcher at Virginia Tech.
Virginia's fall fire season typically begins in October, as
leaves blanket the forest floor. They burn easily and provide
kindling that help wildfires ignite.
For much of the last century, forest fires have been dealt with
by smothering them as they occur. This practice creates a problem
because dead wood and brush accumulate, said Dave Smith, a forest
researcher at Virginia Tech.
"If we stop fires, fuels build up and as a result the next fire
is often hotter, and more difficult to control," he said.
This year, signs point to a difficult fire season.
"Midsummer is an unusual time to have fires, but we've had
several here in Virginia this summer and we expect there could be
more," Zedaker said.
Leaves, dead wood and brush contribute to the forests' "fuel
load" - a term scientists use to describe the amount and type of
ignitable materials present. These fuels stay in the forest until
they burn or decompose.
Under moist, humid conditions, the leaves and dead wood
decompose. But during a drought, the decay slows and they
accumulate. For the past few years, Virginia's drought has
intensified the accumulation and the threat of fire.
"We have had some major fires (this year) in Virginia because
it's been so dry," Zedaker said.
That is troubling because fires in areas with high fuel loads
are "very difficult to control once they get started," Smith
said. Uncontrolled fires put people and their property in jeopardy.
That does not mean Virginia will endure the colossal wildfires
that have charred the Southwest this year. Fire behaves differently
in the eastern part of the country, Smith said. A major difference
is that there is more rain and humidity in the East.
The weather, geography and the fuels present in a forest govern
the spread of fire. Fire programs focus on managing fuel because
firefighters cannot control weather or geography.
Prescribed burning - the planned, deliberate burning of a
woodland area - has been a controversial means of controlling fuel.
It reduces the risk and number of fires each year. Controlled
burning has been used successfully in California forests since the
1960s. However, in 2000, investigators suggested that the
devastating Los Alamos, N.M., fire began as a prescribed burn that
raced out of control. The fire destroyed 260 homes and forced the
evacuation of 25,000 people.
Despite those risks, prgsksibed burns are necessary, Zedaker
said. If nothing is done about the heavy fuel loads, huge,
dangerous fires will continue, he said.
So far this year in Virginia, trained professionals from state
and federal agencies have conducted prescribed burns of more than
16,000 acres.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I have been grilling with this grill for about three years. I have no complaints about its ability to cook.The teflon begin to wear and then fish, bugers,etc, begin to stick. I shopped for replacement grills and after a hour I gave up and bought another unit.You would think that they would make it easy to buy new grill plates, but they do not.
Amount Paid (US$): 48

"I removed the writing so my daughter could stick a photo of her much loved cat on her correspondence. They look beautiful."
"Customized this with bright pink and yellow for my daughter's first birthday party - they turned out so spectacular. ONLY criticism is that the weight of the stickers is a bit thin... but used them as seals for her invitations and they perfectly coordinated with the address labels (same Fantastic First group, which I also customized). Happy customer!"
"We loved this label. It match the party invitations we ordered and we used them to personalize our party favors. We wish they came in larger options and other shapes too!"
"I purchase these adhesive gift tags so I don't need a card to attach cards to a children's birthday gift. they rarely care about the card and it often becomes detached. I made a set of these with a picture of my boys and their names. Everyone loves them! It's also helpful for the parents to know who the gift is from in large classes. I know I'm more likely to recognize a photo than a name."
"It was fun to put my both kids names on this sticker, but I still need to make one of this stickers with only one child name on it it, when they are not going together to B-days"

- Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Brush the eggplant and beefsteak tomato slices with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over moderately high heat, turning once, until lightly charred. Transfer to a plate.
- Form the ground beef into 4 burgers, 1/2 inch thick; brush with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over moderately high heat, turning once, until the burgers are lightly charred and medium-rare, 7 minutes.
- Spread the ketchup on the buns. Top with the lettuce, burgers, grilled eggplant, and tomato and serve, passing any additional ketchup at the table.

American Safety Announces Withdrawal Of Catalina Offer And Catalina's Agreement To Vote "For" Fairfax's Proposal To Acquire The Company At A Price Of $30.25 Per Share
American Safety Insurance Holdings, Ltd. (NYSE: ASI) announced certain developments relating to the pending acquisition of American Safety by Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited (TSX: FFH and FFH.U).
On August 14, 2013, American Safety received a revised proposal from Catalina Holdings (Bermuda) Ltd. to acquire 100% of the capital stock of American Safety for $30.75 per share. After consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, the board of directors of American Safety determined that it would engage in discussions with Catalina to aid in its consideration of Catalina's latest proposal. The board determined that such discussions were consistent with its fiduciary duties and the requirements of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 2, 2013, among Fairfax, Fairfax Bermuda Holdings Ltd., and American Safety, as amended on August 7, 2013.
Subsequently, American Safety's financial advisor, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, had separate conversations with Catalina's financial advisor and Fairfax during which Catalina and Fairfax were told that the board of directors of American Safety would meet on August 16, 2013 to consider Catalina's latest proposal. Both Catalina and Fairfax were encouraged to submit their "best and final" offers for American Safety by the close of business on August 15, 2013. In addition, American Safety's outside legal counsel, Shearman & Sterling LLP, provided a draft merger agreement to Catalina's outside legal counsel and reiterated the board's request that Catalina submit its "best and final" offer on August 15, 2013. On August 15, 2013, Catalina confirmed its revised proposal of $30.75 and submitted a revised draft of the merger agreement. Fairfax did not submit a revised proposal on August 15, 2013.
On August 16, 2013, the board of directors of American Safety held a meeting, at which representatives of BofA Merrill Lynch and Shearman & Sterling were present, to review and discuss Catalina's revised proposal. During this meeting, at the request of the board of directors of American Safety, a representative of BofA Merrill Lynch contacted the CEO of Catalina to request an opportunity for members of the board to discuss certain aspects of Catalina's proposal with its CEO. During this discussion with the representative of BofA Merrill Lynch, the CEO of Catalina extended Catalina's offer until the evening of August 18, 2013 to allow the American Safety board to fully consider its proposal. A call among the Chairman of the board of directors and the president of American Safety, the CEO of Catalina and other Catalina personnel, and their respective representatives was subsequently scheduled for the morning of August 18, 2013. In advance of the call, Shearman & Sterling provided Catalina's outside counsel with a written agenda for the call. This call occurred as scheduled on August 18, 2013.

Tasting notes
Opulence meets fresh acidity. Unctuous on the palate and heavier than its classic style with 150g per litre of residual sugar, but the firm acidity balances the sweetness well. A powerful wine that will age for decades. Drink 2025-2047. (18.5 points)

Packing right for the rugged outdoors takes careful planning and plenty of handy pockets. Although you should be prepared for sun and heat, the weather and average temperature on African safaris can vary significantly, with nighttime lows in the 50's. We recommend packing in smart layers, with a base wardrobe of breathable khakis and tans, to let you stalk wildlife incognito. Add to that a smart pocket-full vest or coat, cargo pants with zip-off legs, and –very important – a good sun hat.

The latest deal builds on a previous translational research collaboration. For the past year, researchers at Harvard Medical School, Partners HealthCare, and Harvard Medical School-Partners HealthCare Center for Genetics and Genomics have been using the Affymetrix technology to identify genetic sequences and signatures associated with a number of complex diseases. The clinically relevant data will now be used to develop the molecular diagnostic tests.
Affymetrix will create custom microarrays based on the recent discovery data from Partners. The arrays will be used to produce molecular diagnostic tests that will be validated and implemented in Partners' CLIA-certified environments.
Partners reports that it will begin focusing on array-based tests for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and will explore many indications in a large number of diseases.

Oren: Israel will act if Hezbollah gets Syrian WMDs
Posted By admin On December 10, 2012 @ 6:31 am In World News | Comments Disabled
Jerusalem Post [1]
December 10, 2012
Israel will act if Syria passes chemical weapons into Hezbollah's hands, Israeli ambassador to Washington Michael Oren warned on Sunday.
"We have a very clear red line about those weapons passing into the wrong hands," Oren told Fox News.
"Were those weapons to pass into the wrong hands, into Hezbollah's hands for example, that would be a game changer for us." Armed with chemical weapons and a large cache of rockets, Oren said, the terrorist group could kill "thousands of people."
Syria has one of the world's largest chemical weapons arsenals, according to Leonard Spector, executive director of the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies based in Washington. Syria's arms cache includes "traditional chemical agents, such as mustard, and more modern nerve agents, such as sarin, and possibly persistent nerve agents, such as VX," he told the BBC on Tuesday.

None. Favorite Childhood Books (166) » 6 more Loading...
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I really enjoy this book. I feel this book is great for the grades K-2. The story uses repetition of "Are you my mother?" throughout the book. The use of Repetition is a key component in teaching children words/phrases. Another reason why I love this book is the use of illustration. Each page has the image of a little bird on one and another animal on the other. This is great to show compare and contrast with the bird. The illustrations also show great expression in the animals. For example, the little bird asks a kitten "Are you my mother?" the picture shows a confused expression in the kittens face. The central message and big idea of this book is to never give up searching and you will find your loved one. This is a fantasy book. This is a very good book for young children who are just beginning to read. This book is about a little bird who lost his mother and goes out on a hunt to find her. I think this is a good book for young kids because it is very intriguing as the whole time reading you are wondering if he will find his mom! This modern fantasy book tells the story of a little bird, who goes around looking for his mother. He asks many different animals if they are his mother. He finally finds his mom. This book is also in Spanish. This is a very well known book about a bird who has lost her mother and on a search for her. In the process of searching for her she runs into several other animals and is wondering if they are her mother. After talking to sevral animals and asking everyone of them if they were her mother, she finally finds her mother. This book would be good to teach and discuss with your students sequencing and elements of a story. This book would also be great for Kindergarteners since they are trying to get into the groove of elementary school and leaving their parents and especially mother every day. This was my absolute favorite book as a child. The pictures are the plot, and keep the reader interested in the story. When the baby bird finds a construction machine, it makes noise and is great entertainment for the reader. It is sweet and heart warming at times, especially when the mother and baby are finally united. The plot flows evenly and easily, while also developing the baby bird's character really fully. The big idea is a baby finding his mom. no reviews | add a review

Dr. Charles Petitt was born in Abingdon, Virginia and spent the first twelve years of his life on a dairy farm in Giles County, Virginia. During his teenage years, he lived on a farm in Pickens County, South Carolina and graduated from Easley Christian School. Dr. Petitt went on to receive his Bachelor of Arts in Theology from Baptist University of America in 1985. He and his wife, Dawn Watson of Bedford County, Virginia have ministered together all of their married lives (since 1981). Throughout their college careers and for over a decade after, the Petitts were highly involved in church planting in southwest Atlanta and then as missionaries to the West Indies, where God used them to plant a successful work that is now multiplying itself. Currently, Mrs. Petitt spends much of her time travelling with her husband as he visits churches and schools across the country. They have two daughters and reside in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.Dr. Petitt's interest in training and empowering nationals led him to pursue graduate studies at Bob Jones University. In recognition of his ministry accomplishments, Temple Baptist Seminary awarded him with a Doctor of Divinity degree in 2002. Dr. Petitt was inaugurated as the fifth President of Piedmont International University in November 2002. The good hand of God has been evident under Dr. Petitt's leadership at Piedmont as overall enrollment has doubled. In the 2010-2011 academic year, Piedmont enjoyed the largest enrollment in its history with 519 total students. Along with several campus upgrades that have been accomplished under his leadership, Dr. Petitt oversaw an articulation agreement with High Point University, which allows Piedmont education majors earn North Carolina State Teacher Licensure in five years, as well as the merger with Spurgeon Baptist Bible College of Mulberry, Florida, which resulted in the creation of Piedmont's Spurgeon School of Online Education in 2004. Dr. Petitt's strong initiative has afforded Piedmont the opportunity to witness the accreditation of two international branch campuses, the launch of a number of new undergraduate and graduate degree programs, the implementation of a Master's Degree in Biblical Studies offered online in Spanish, and the successful launch of Piedmont's Chaplaincy and PhD programs. Several strategic efforts and agreements with Christian colleges have been realized as well.Dr. Petitt is a visionary with motivation and energy to accomplish what is needed for the furtherance of the Gospel. He is a gifted speaker who has preached in numerous universities, colleges, schools and churches across America and on five continents. He has also been the keynote speaker for various national and international conferences and conventions.

Is it possible to set a pattern to start rotating from a specified degree and then follow a path that curves? This would be similar to Rob A's rotating brush script, but only using a pattern on the fly with a path. The Path stroke with Pattern option doesn't allow for a change in rotation.
What is meant by "rotating the pattern".?
You could set a brush to have a chunk of pattern and rotate that, but patterns don't and can't rotate.
-Rob A>
I can't think of anyway to do what you want, as it requires distorting/rotating and matching patterns.
It wouldn't even work with a brush defined using the pattern since that will only rotate and not distort.
I tried with inkscape as well (as it it more suited for path manipulation) but it also will not distort a raster fill. If you pattern can be converted to vector, you could use inkscape:
-Rob A>
You may be able to get something close when 2.7 with better brush dynamics comes out.
In the meantime, you can set up a clever rotating brush to create an approximate effect:
(It has blurry edges in order to blend each repaint)

You can get it here:

High Dividend Stocks By Yield
Dividend yield is one of the main factors to consider when investing in dividend-paying stocks. Watch out for "dividend traps," however -- stocks having a dividend yield of 10% and above are usually very risky investments.
Learn more about our Dividend.com DARS™ rating system »
Check Out the Best CD Rates for Your Money Now
* Stock Price shown is previous day's closing price.
** Dividend yield is calculated from Dividend Payout and previous day's closing price.
The Case for High Yield Dividend Stocks
One of the most compelling cases for dividend investing, is that it provides a significant source of income for investors, while at the same time features attractive long-term returns. Typically, stocks that pay dividends are larger, more established companies. And while these firms have the ability to either continue or increase payouts, they do not always feature the highest dividend yield.
Since much of the focus of this strategy is centered around yield, investors sometimes put too much weight towards this one metric. Sometimes, the highest yielding stocks are "too good to be true". While sifting through this High Yield Dividend Stocks list, be sure to avoid this dividend value trap.
Screening High Yield Stocks
When using this page, be sure to base your screen on multiple metrics before making any investment decisions. In addition to yield, we encourage investors to use both objective and subjective factors as their investment criteria. Some of these factors include:
- Market Capitalization: Small and micro cap companies tend to exhibit significantly higher volatility than their large cap counterparts. A simple screen by market cap can help avoid some of the smaller, more risky high yield options.
- Earnings Reports: Each quarter, companies post their latest results. These financial reports are key, since they highlight how the company has been performing.
- Guidance: Earnings guidance is given by companies to let investors know what their expectations are about future earnings, revenues, and the overall health of the business. Even if a company reports better than expected past results, the guidance given during that quarter may indicate a big change for future quarters.
- P/E Ratio: While this may be an obvious choice for investors, we can't stress enough how important this indicator can be. A stock with a sky high P/E ratio, or one that is significantly higher than its peers, should certainly be scrutinized.
- Payout Ratio: Dividend payout ratios should never be above 100%, which indicates a company is paying out more than it earns and will likely not be able to sustain its dividend policy.
- Dividend Trends and Growth: Another obvious indicator, dividend trends are crucial for investors to follow. If a company suddenly announces a decrease in dividends, this should certainly raise a red flag. Conversely, if a company has been steadily increasing dividends for some time, this is obviously a good sign.
- Industry Trends: This is a bit of a tough one to follow, but nonetheless it's important for investors to stay on top of not only their investments' business, but also those of their competition and the overall industry. Last week, we highlighted an example of a major shift in industrial trends in the supermarket landscape.
While using these screens, investors will likely find that certain sectors feature companies that do, in fact, offer both high and sustainable yields. Be sure to look out the 4 Dividend Friendly Industries, to learn more. As always, we encourage investors to take the extra step and dive deep under the hood of these high yielding companies.

Cashman: Jeter should be last Yankees captain
General manager, Girardi believe current club has 'very strong leaders'
BRADENTON, Fla. -- Derek Jeter proudly served 12 seasons while holding the title of Yankees captain, and general manager Brian Cashman believes that he should be the last in franchise history.
Reiterating comments that he made at Fenway Park during Jeter's final weekend as an active player last September, Cashman said Thursday that he has no interest in issuing the title of captain to another Yankee in the foreseeable future.

The rising river brings more bad luck for Louisiana oystermen. The industry is still recovering from the BP oil spill, and now, the mighty Mississippi adds to their struggles.
Sam Slavich has oyster beds in four different parishes. Passed down through the generations, this type of work is all he knows. Lately, the job has been pretty tough.
"It's been very challenging to be an oysterman the last ten years," says Slavich. He has been plagued by a series of hurricanes, an oil spill, and now, a river on the rise. "When it rains, it pours," he says. "Things are not looking real good at this point."
The Mississippi's fresh water overflow could potentially kill a lot of oysters. "The mixture of fresh water inundating the estuary where the oysters grow and the warm weather is a recipe for disaster for any oysters that happen to be living in the area."
Now, its a fight to keep the industry afloat. 'There's not much product coming into the market and there's going to be less."
Still, oystermen say they know what they've gotten themselves into. "We've got to roll with the punches. We've always had to. This is not an easy business," says dealer Al Sunseri. "We've been able to overcome a lot of things, so hopefully we'll be able to hang on and continue to do it."

Small Businesses Can Learn From Candidates Social Media Campaigns
Social media strategies used in Republican presidential candidate campaigns can be applied by small businesses to enhance their digital marketing efforts, according to a recent study by leading social media and email marketing company, iContact. The study revealed Republican primary candidates rely heavily on social media to get their messages across, empower voters and raise money. Newt Gingrich has mastered Twitter, Ron Paul reigns on YouTube and Mitt Romney has a holistically integrated social campaign. Small businesses can successfully utilize social media in a manner similar to political candidates to engage followers, promote their brand and increase sales.

About the A Jesus Church Family
We believe that a church is not a building, but a people who gather on the weekend and scatter across our communities throughout the week. We are all united together as one family around core distinctives and our love for King Jesus, each church is unique to its location and cultural context. Our prayer is as Jesus prayed, that God's will would be done in our cities, and on Earth, as it is in Heaven.
We believe a church is not a building or a weekend activity, but a group of people living out the Gospel in a particular geographical area. Our heart is to be a family of missionary disciples in the cities and communities in which we live.
Doctrinal Primer
We believe in the life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, and are committed to living out his teachings in the world. As a church family, we feel most closely aligned to the beliefs outlined in The Lausanne Covenant. Our blog is a place where we further explore and discuss doctrine and theology.
