Even as the Federal Reserve holds short-term interest rates near zero for the fourth year in a row, there are plenty of places to find decent income in the U.S. stock and bond markets. You just have to know where to look.
We found eight groups with average payouts ranging as high as 6% without the risk that often comes with reaching for yield. They include municipal bonds, with yields between 1% and 3%; utilities and real-estate investment trusts, at 4%; convertible securities, at 3%; high-dividend stocks, at 3% to 4%; master limited partnerships and junk bonds, at 6%, and preferred shares, at 5% to 6%. There are higher-yielding securities in all of these categories, including mortgage REITs and junk bonds that carry 10%-plus rates, but the rewards here may not be worth the risk.
What looks best for 2013? Given the risks in bonds at historically low-yield levels, it may be best to stick with blue-chip stocks, electric utilities, MLPs, and to a lesser extent, REITs.
In the bond market, junk still looks appealing, even as the average yield fell to 6% from about 20% at the start of 2009, when Barron's highlighted the market's appeal in a cover story. Junk may be the best house in a dangerous neighborhood.
Peter Hoey for Barron's
The tax legislation passed last week favors equity sources of income, which will be taxed at a top rate of 20%, plus a 3.8% Medicare surcharge. Most taxpayers, including couples earning less than $250,000, will still pay a top dividend rate of 15%. The top rate for ordinary income rises to 39.6% from 35% for couples earning more than $450,000. That rate also applies to interest income on taxable bonds, as well as distributions from master limited partnerships and REITs. It should be noted that investors can often defer taxes on MLP distributions.
It's hard to make a case for two of the lowest-yielding parts of the bond market -- Treasuries and mortgage securities -- because yields are in the 1% to 3% area, and both sectors could be hit hard if rates rise. Perhaps the best that can be said for Treasuries is that they're one of the few asset classes that are negatively correlated with stocks, meaning they tend to appreciate when stocks fall, and thus offer a hedge against a stock-market downdraft.
BlackRock favors dividend-paying stocks and junk bonds, while warning about the danger in Treasuries. "We believe dividend stocks look attractive," wrote BlackRock chief investment strategist Russ Koesterich last week. "With current payout ratios near historic lows and balance sheets quite strong, companies have ample ability to raise dividend payments to compensate investors for any changes in tax treatment." As for Treasuries, he wrote that interest-rate risk is high, as underscored last week when prices fell 4% as stocks rallied.
Here is an overview of the eight income sectors in order of their appeal.
High-Dividend Stocks
As more companies get serious about dividends, it's possible to put together an increasingly diversified portfolio of stocks yielding 3% to 4%. The obvious appeal of stocks versus bonds is that investors can benefit from rising dividends over time. Many big companies now have dividends that exceed their bond yields.

Electric utilities were the only loser in 2012 among the major sectors of the S&P 500, with a 2.9% drop -- and a 1% return after dividends. This year could be better because utility dividends look appealing at 4%-plus in much of the industry.
Major utilities trade at an average of 14 times projected 2013 profits, compared with about 13 times for the faster-growing S&P 500. Yet utility earnings are relatively predictable, in the low- to mid-single digits each year.

The group started the year strong, as the benchmark Alerian MLP index, which is heavy in energy pipelines, rose 4% over the first two sessions of 2013. More gains could follow after a tough 2012, when the AMZ fell 1% and returned 4.8%, including distributions. Reflecting strong historical returns in the sector, 2012 marked the only year in the past 13 in which MLPs trailed the S&P 500 in total return.
Credit Suisse analyst John Edwards has been bullish, pointing out that the yield on the AMZ index, now 6.5%, looks appealing relative to most other income securities. While weak prices for natural-gas liquids have hurt some MLPs, much of the sector that is involved in domestic energy transportation has experienced little or no impact. Growth in distributions industrywide is expected to average about 7% this year.

Junk Bonds
Wall Street generally expects subdued returns of about 7% this year after another strong year in 2012, when junk returned more than 15%. The challenge is that yields are low, at 6%, and prices are high, averaging about 105% of par value. This limits upside because most issues can be redeemed at par prior to maturity.
While many junk investors are reaching for yield in order to get higher returns, it may be best to play it conservatively and avoid debt-laden companies like Caesars Entertainment (CZR) and Clear Channel Communications (CCMO).
J. Matthew Philo, manager of the Mainstay High-Yield Corporate fund (MHYIX), generally is steering clear of lower-rated credits in favor of better situations. "This is a tale of two markets," he says. "The larger part of the market is very resilient with strong asset coverage and free cash flow."

Convertible Bonds
Convertibles are an overlooked asset class because of limited issuance of new bonds and complexity, including securities that automatically convert into equity. Less than $25 billion of converts have been issued in each of the past two years because most corporate treasurers can offer low-rate "straight" debt without giving investors an equity kicker.
"There are some good opportunities," says David King, manager of the Columbia Convertible Securities fund (PACIX). He's partial to a Chesapeake Energy 5¾% convertible preferred (CHKVZ), which recently traded at about $900, below its $1,000 face value, for a 6.4% current yield. The Chesapeake convert offers a lower-risk way to play a revival in natural-gas prices than the company's common shares. King also is partial to a 2⅞% convert from biotech company Dendreon (DNDN), recently trading below 75 cents on the dollar and a 13% yield to maturity in 2016. Dendreon developed a novel treatment for advanced prostate cancer that has had disappointing revenues. The company isn't far from cash-flow break-even and could be a takeover target.

After another strong year in which the sector returned 18%, investors may want to tread cautiously because REIT valuations aren't cheap in absolute terms or in relation to the S&P 500 index.
But REITs now trade for about 16 times 2013 funds from operations, a cash-flow measure favored by the industry. That compares with a multiple of 13 for the S&P 500. REITs look even more expensive at about 20 times adjusted funds from operations, a more conservative calculation of cash flow than FFO that subtracts certain recurring expenses like office-leasing costs.
REITs, now yielding an average of 3.6%, still look good relative to Treasuries. Industry fundamentals are favorable amid higher rents and limited new construction, while financing costs are low. "REITs are trading below private-market values, and they remain a haven for people concerned about inflation. Real estate is a hard asset," says Alex Goldfarb, an analyst at Sandler O'Neill.

Municipal Bonds
With yields on top-grade munis similar to those on Treasuries, the relative appeal of the $3.7 trillion market is good, but absolute yield levels in the 1%-to-3% range aren't great with inflation running at about 2%.
Munis got a break when the congressional budget deal lifted top tax rates on the highest earners and thus heightened the appeal of tax-free income. To top it off, legislators chose not to tax the muni-bond interest of the highest earners, as some had feared.
That helped produce a rally on Wednesday, as long-term munis gained about 1% even as long-term Treasuries declined 1%. "While we are unlikely to see significant capital appreciation in municipal bonds, their after-tax yields are attractive, and munis remain a solid source of income," wrote BlackRock strategist Koesterich.
The idea of taxing muni-bond interest is dormant but not dead. If enacted, such a tax on munis likely would cut their demand, potentially lifting rates as much as half a percentage point and crunching long-term bonds. Many state and local governments face a large and festering pension problem. Given the risks, muni buyers might want to avoid long-term issues and stick with a fund like the Vanguard Intermediate Term Tax-Exempt fund (VWITX), which has low fees. Many investors favor individual bonds, but the downside is limited liquidity if holders ever need to sell.
Preferred Stock
With banks solidly profitable and the bond market strong, the preferred market has rallied sharply since the financial crisis, dropping yields on most bank issues to less than 6% from double-digit levels during 2009. Barron's has written favorably on preferred several times in the past four years.
Issuance has surged as banks have taken advantage of lower rates to lock in long-term equity financing. Issuance totaled about $33 billion in 2012, including several big retail-oriented deals priced at $25 a share from JPMorgan jpm 0.8333333333333334% JPMorgan Chase & Co.

While dividends look safe and remain tax advantaged, most preferreds don't look attractive thanks to their interest-rate risk.
The typical $25 retail preferred usually has a bad combination of a perpetual maturity and a five-year redemption feature at the issuer's option. "The risk-reward profile of these securities does not appear attractive; their upside is capped by the call option, but they could sell off significantly in a rising rate environment," wrote Barclays credit analyst Shobhit Gupta in a recent report.
Two exceptions are unusual preferreds from Wells Fargo and Bank of America that yield more than their regular issues and effectively aren't callable unless there is an enormous rise in common-stock prices. The Wells Fargo Series L has a 7.5% dividend rate and a price of $1,225, way above its face value of $1,000. It yields 6.09%, almost a full point above the bank's other preferreds. Bank of America's 7.25% Series L trades at $1,135 and yields 6.34%. Columbia's King notes that if the banks want to redeem them, they likely will have to pay investors a premium above the current price.

What would you do if you agreed to visits with the birthparent, but then was told that he/she was a convicted sex offender with a violation against a child? Birthparent continues to be in and out of jail for various reasons. Obviously we would never allow our child to be alone with this birthparent, but would you still allow supervised visits? Or would you feel that your child would be better off without this person in their life until they were old enough to understand the situation?
question for AP...what would you do?

Supervised, yes. But my children wouldn't ever leave my sight.

I would want to know the exact crime. If he was 18 and got a 17 year old pregnant....that's not a big deal (comparatively speaking)....but raping an 8 year old? NEVER.

It would depend on the circumstances like listed above.
However, we did agree to visits with birth family AS LONG AS it remains (ed) safe and in the best interest of our child. Seeing a birth parent that continues to make poor life decisions is no longer in our child's best interest.

Like PP, it depends on the crime. A kid in my old town had to be a registered sex offender because he mooned the main street while a passenger in a car. Something like that, NBD. Regardless, she would be in my sight at all times.

In fear for his life, Young endured more than two years of detention and legal battles to remain in the U.S. All the while, his Child Advocate stood by him, advocated for his release and against deportation.

Taylor Swift and Kanye West Are Now Best Friends and Here's Proof [PHOTOS]
Imma let you finish, but Taylor Swift and Kanye West apparently became besties at the 2015 Grammys last night and that takes precedence over everything.
Imma let you finish, but Taylor Swift and Kanye West apparently became besties at the 2015 Grammys last night and that takes precedence over everything.
Only a month into 2015 and Rihanna's already got one of the hottest songs of the year! Earlier today (Feb. 3), the singer released the video for her 'FourFiveSeconds.'
Kanye West and Paul McCartney blow everyone's minds with 'Only One', but hear what happens when they add Rihanna to the mix in 'FourFiveSeconds.'
Well, it looks like the cat's out of the bag on this one! Rihanna might have revealed the possibility of Kanye West going on tour next year. What!?
Joan Rivers is not one to mince words. The comedienne and 'Fashion Police' host took aim at a tiny target – North West, the 7-month-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Rivers reportedly referred to Kimye's little girl as "ugly" during one of her stand-up gigs.
Kimye don't get everything that they want! Kanye West requested Lana Del Rey to sing at his proposal to Kim Kardashian but she declined, turning him down flat.
The beautiful insanity of Los Angeles is captured in Thirty Seconds to Mars' new short film (aka extended music video) 'City of Angels.' The film features Kanye West, Selena Gomez, Juliette Lewis, Lindsay Lohan and more, all of whom espouse their love for the magical promised land – those are Olivia Wilde's words —that is L.A.
Kimye are gettin' hitched!
North West will be beyond well-dressed. Her mom Kim Kardashian posted photos of the seriously swank baby clothes that she and Kanye West received for their little girl, born in June. We're talking Lanvin, Alexander Wang and more. Those outfits cost more than a lifetime of clothes in a family's closet.
Yesterday we shared some audio of Kanye West ranting after the 2009 VMAs. In the recording, he attempted to explain why Beyonce should have won best video over Taylor Swift (hint: because of him), and then he took inexplicable aim at Pink.
Who doesn't seem all that concerned about it. Because she's classy that way.
We said it wouldn't die and it won't! The Kanye West-Taylor Swift drama rages on, as some gasoline has been poured on the still-raging fire, which began burning in '09.
It appears that, in fact, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's daughter's name has been revealed. It is... (I can't believe this) NORTH WEST! Actually, this revelation didn't come from them, someone got it off her birth certificate. If your hoping it's a fraud, you're not alone. Actually, Kim laughed at the idea of naming the baby "North West" when it was rumored earlier this year.

ATLANTA The Braves' doubleheader loss to the Nationals does not define or erase a season highlighted by the National League's best record to date (89-62) and some of the best organization moves in baseball. But it does raise some issues and concerns for a team limping toward the finish the line. Atlanta is just 4-6 in its last 10 games, 6-10 in the month of September. This type of slump will not truly threaten the team's eight-game lead in the NL East its magic number remained at four entering Wednesday's series finale but it could call into the question the NL's No. 1 overall seed and, more importantly, the team's overall performance entering a much-anticipated month of playoff baseball. How important is the top seed for the Braves? Well, they're a .700 team at Turner Field. They're a sub-.500 team on the road. Home field advantage isn't everything, but it's a really, really crucial thing for Fredi Gonzalez's team. Our Braves writers Zach Dillard, Cory McCartney and Jay Cle...

This communal royal tomb beneath a dome, more recent than the shaft graves, is known as Clytemnestra's Tomb and dates from the 14C BC. A path to the entrance (35m long and 5m wide) leads to the door (5.48m high) surmounted by a lintel made of enormous blocks of stone. The bases of the framing columns are visible on either side. The huge round funeral chamber (13.50m in diameter) is roofed with a dome that is nearly 13m high. The lintel over the door is curved to follow the shape of the dome.

"I think it's a mindset," Beck said. "That's why -- I didn't mean to step on your question there -- but I think if all of us just have the mindset that every day we come out to practice we're moving forward, not looking back.

We just returned a couple of weeks ago from one of our all time best Disney World trips! We tried a split stay for the first time, with a 2-night ocean break in between. It was fantastic, and is probably our new favorite Florida vacation itinerary, making it very hard to leave. Disney Wordless Wednesday I love using Disney's PhotoPass service to capture family shots during our trip. But I had to chuckle at some of our results this time, hence my take on this week's Disney Wordless Wednesday theme Unforgettable... these were either traditional photobombs, or just photos that kindof... err... "bombed"! Pretty, but mildly creepy, mystery princess photobombs my daughter's big Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique reveal. Falling under the "bombed photo" category... I retroactively discover that my 4 yr old son has made fish lips, in nearly every single family Disney PhotoPass picture during our vacation. And last, another "bombed photo" that is, admittedly, my own fault. No words, … [Read more...]

Disney Wordless Wednesday ~ Favorite Disney View
Welcome to the fun Disney Wordless Wednesday photo hop! This week's theme is "Your Favorite View". *o* *o* *o* What an interesting theme. Is my favorite view *of* something at Disney, or would the view be looking *out from* something at Disney? After some thought, I realized the obvious. My favorite view at Disney is "viewing" my kids taking it all in! Anticipation. Wonder. Silliness. Laughter. And love. Ok, and also I really love this view... because it means I'm about to ride my favorite attraction! :) *o* *o* *o* Thanks to Deb at Focused on the Magic for hosting!

Disney Wordless Wednesday ~ Disney Details to Love
This week's Disney Wordless Wednesday theme is: Disney in the Details! There are thousands of details which are cleverly and artfully woven together at Disney World, each delightful and unique. For me, "details" doesn't just mean the tiny things. It's anything that's above and beyond, that makes the whole experience extra special. Here are a few of the Disney Details I love. Disney Details to Love I love Disney Details like... Snow falling outside my castle. In Florida. All year round. Snoring guards Towel Mickeys Feeling like a world traveler, even when I'm not. (Yet.)

Disney Wordless Wednesday ~ Characters at Mickey's Toontown Fair
Welcome to Disney Wordless Wednesday! This week's theme: Character Encounters A few short years ago, we took our first Disney World trip together as a young family. This was a time when Mickey's Toontown Fair was still open, and the Walt Disney World Railroad featured a stop in this area. Characters at Mickey's Toontown Fair As we pulled into the Toontown Fair station, we were very excited to see an entire group of characters ready and waiting to greet us, at an area just off to the side (literally, no lines... I believe they had just been brought out). Still new to the Disney trip scene, none of us realized how rare the situation being presented actually was - from the large number of characters, to the very few people in the area, to the unique characters we saw that day. Being totally drawn to her, and there being no other fans around... my daughter ran back up to Marie 3 different times! We've never had a "Character Encounter" quite like it - before or since. It … [Read more...]
Disney Wordless Wednesday ~ Anniversary at Disney World
For this week's Disney Wordless Wednesday theme of "Your September Calendar Shot", I decided to go with a collage of memories and highlights from our Anniversary trip to Disney World. This was a first time for us, going to Disney sans kiddos. What a wonderful place to celebrate! Anniversary at Disney World It was a brief but very fun trip to Disney World last winter, with just my husband and I celebratating of our 10th wedding anniversary. Here were some of my favorite moments. Every Princess (even the grown up ones) should get to sleep in a Royal Room for her special wedding anniversary. And just to be clear, every wife is a Princess on her anniversary. For us, leaving the kids behind allowed us to do some more laid back, leisurely activities like rent a surrey bike at Disney's Port Orleans Riverside Resort. Throw in a romantic Disney sunset... Fireworks always kick the celebration factor up a notch. Lunch with my favorite person, at my favorite quick service … [Read more...]
Disney Wordless Wednesday ~ Mickey, Minnie, & More!
This week's Disney Wordless Wednesday theme: The Disney Inspired Letter "M" As it turns out, there are so many magical Disney "M"s... that I'm not sure if there could be a Disney without them?

This week's Disney Wordless Wednesday theme: Your July Calendar shot! I've crunched the numbers, run it by my husband, and it's official: I get to start planning our family's next Disney World trip, for this winter! I'm so excited, I can hardly stand it. It will have been 2 1/2 years since my kids have been there. (Shhhh! We snuck there last January for our 10th anniversary without them!) When I look at our pictures, of my daughter's first trip, and my son's first trip... I can't believe how young they look! It's high time to make some more of those magical memories. To celebrate, I'll have these be my calendar shots for the month. A trip down memory lane - my kids first Disney trips... *o* *o* *o* Thanks so much, Deb at Focused on the Magic for hosting this fun weekly photo hop!

Disney Wordless Wednesday ~ Port Orleans Riverside Resort
This week's Disney Wordless Wednesday theme: Resorts & Relaxation I chose the Disney Moderate Port Orleans Riverside Resort. My husband and I stayed here last winter, when we had the chance to sneak away together, first time sans kids, for our 10th anniversary. (Yes, I made him take me to Disney... of course I did!) Needless to say, I fell in love! You know, with Port Orleans Riverside. I already love my husband. Compared to the delightful and festive chaos that are the All-Star Resorts, where we typically stay as a family - I found Port Orleans Riverside extremely relaxing. Here are just a few of the things I loved... Having a boat taxi, that we could ride from our resort. Lovely Southern style architecture and pristine landscaping. The walking trails. And trees. The marina, and having some additional recreation options right at the resort. And it just wouldn't be Port Orleans "Riverside" with the RIVER! *o* *o* *o* Thanks for joining me … [Read more...]

'The Bible is a Single Book' is Released
CANTON, Ohio, June 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ Author H. Doyle Smith presents a new and completely different point of view on Biblical studies in his book, The Bible is a Single Book. The promises of the Bible are real and with the insights of this book, people will find that much of the stress of living is eliminated. The author's personal life has shown this to be true. In this book, he shows that while people cannot know what is right or wrong, and cannot define God, people's efforts to live as He has told will make life pleasant and enjoyable.
Most people consider the Bible to be 66 books, each able to stand alone. This book describes the Bible as one book, where each of the 66 books relates to a central theme. That theme is that people cannot decide for themselves what is right and what is wrong that's God's job and that people cannot describe or define God. The gospels give people a way that they can live even with these limitations.
Adam was kicked out of Eden for deciding on his own that nakedness was wrong, and the consequences of doing what was "right in their own eyes" made man so bad that God decided to destroy him. Noah and his family were the only ones saved and they immediately started to do the same thing that God hated. People are like the examples that followed in the next chapters. The efforts of those who tried to decide what was good and evil led to the discussions of Job. Since people must have some guidelines, people themselves tried to develop them, but each could only see the problems involved from their own point of view. That's why in the gospels, God through Jesus gave man the guidelines that everyone can follow: What people do for others is the goal. Some practical understandings of specific situations also follow.
This book is available online and can be purchased at www.bookwhirl.com, www.amazon.com and www.barnesandnoble.com.
About the Author
H. Doyle Smith is the son of a Southern Baptist minister. He had read the Bible through five times before he had left his teens, and after fifty years of meditation and thought had the insight that produced this book.
A member of Mensa and other high IQ societies, he has a Master of Arts degree, has been a CPA for thirty years, (now retired) is familiar with many denominations, including Baptist, Methodist, Episcopal, Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Mormon. Each of the denominations has many Christians who live up to their faith.

- Chill out on bean bags over the ocean and forget your troubles for the best part of a day.
Imagine taking a trip to a secluded retreat overlooking the ocean. Going... Here you will spend a few hours being treated to an invigorating sauna and a reinvigorating massage. Going... Now your spirit has been nourished, a delicious healthy lunch will nourish your body. Gone!
Now you're sold on the idea, grab a sauna, one hour of massage/bodywork, ayurveda body consult or phobia treatment for one person for $125, or two people for $230 from Shuyata Retreat and Day Spa in beautiful Diamond Harbour. Both options include a healthy and delicious light lunch and a return transfer from the Diamond Harbour ferry.
Shunyata is an unpretentious retreat with a gorgeous ocean view. Shunyata has renovated spa bathrooms and lovely English gardens, it is peaceful, serene and full of birdsong. Shunyata is a place of nurturing, caring and love with a spiritual healing energy. The true point of difference of Shunyata is that it is truly one on one. There are not many retreats that offer this personal level of service tailored for you. Shunyata is a healing retreat that offers more than a massage, it's an opportunity to let go of trauma, stress and troubles and to come home to yourself.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

We received such an amazing response to Monica's microproject, all of Africa SOMA has been blown away by the compassion and genorosity of donors such as yourself. We have great faith in Monica as she moves forward on her path towards becoming a doctor and it was so wonderful to see the same faith reflected back by our donors.
Monica is nearing the end of her final year of high school. While she works hard at studying for final exams it is reassuring to know money is not something she will need to stress about, allowing her full focus to be poured into her work.
Although Africa SOMA currently has two interns, Brooke and Helen, working on the ground in Elangata Wuas they were unfortunately unable to meet up with Monica since she attends a high school outside of the community and was so focused on her studies while they were there that she did not have time to come home for a visit. Regardless, she wanted to make sure the message was passed along to all of the donors like yourself for your generous contributions and support.
On behalf of Africa SOMA I would like to thank you for your support. Our work cannot happen without people like you not only believing in our work, but putting down some of your own hard earned money as token of support. As you may know education is one of the most consistant methods to create greater health, social mobility, climate change resilence and empowerment for underpriviledged youth. Increased education of youth also has the wonderful bonus of creating a positive ripple effect through communities such as Elangata Wuas.
On behalf of Monica, the Elangata Wuas Community and Africa SOMA's Team - Thank you.

Every microproject is intended to use the donations it receives in accordance with its stated description; however, it is
important to provide project leaders with the flexibility to maximize the potential benefit from the donations they receive.
This means that your donation may be used as a part of the main project that supports this microproject, specifically Educate Maasai kids: full high school scholarships.
In this event, the project leader is required to post an update to the microproject detailing the results and reasons behind
this change.

Polymers currently utilized for tissue engineering applications do not possess surfaces with nanostructured features. However, the tissue that the polymers will replace is composed of proteins that have nanometer dimensions. Undoubtedly, in situ, cells are accustomed to interacting with surface roughness values in the nanometer regime due to the presence of such proteins in natural tissue. Therefore, the objective of this paper was to design, synthesize and evaluate (using in vitro cellular models) poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) with nanostructured surface features to serve as the next generation of more efficient tissue engineered materials. For this purpose, nanostructured PLGA was created by treating conventional PLGA with various concentrations of NaOH for select periods of time. To eliminate surface chemistry changes created though the etching process, PLGA was cast from silastic molds of NaOH-treated nanostructured PLGA. Results provided the first evidence of increased numbers of vascular cells (specifically, endothelial and aortic smooth muscle cells) and bladder smooth muscle cells on nanostructured compared with conventional PLGA substrates. For this reason, the present results suggest, for the first time, that PLGA should incorporate a high degree of nanostructured surface roughness to enhance tissue regeneration for vascular and bladder applications.

Miami Springs Senior High MEGA Reunion 2014
MiamiSprings.com - Nestor Suarez
Saturday, April 12, 2014 at 9:00 PM - Monday, April 14, 2014 at 12:00 AM (PDT)
The MEGA reunion is open to every graduating class from Miami Springs Senior High since 1966. If you graduated in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, or even in the last decade, this is the annual event that invites EVERYONE to come join in the fun. It's especially great for Classes of 1974, 1984, 1994, & 2004. (I can't believe there's a 10 year reunion for folks who graduated in 2004, but the calendar isn't lying. It is 2014 this year.)
The second thing that makes this MEGA Reunion GREAT is that it is FREE! That's right. Meet up on the Saturday Night of the Springs River Festival aka the Regatta on the Circle in Miami Springs.
Meet up at the MEGA Reunion Tent on Canal Street near the stage by the tall bridge.
If you missed last year's inaugural MEGA Reunion, you missed out on meeting 1,000 Golden Hawks representing graduating classes from the 60s through the 2000s. Click here to see photos from last year's event.
This year's MEGA Reunion promises to be even bigger. We easily expect to surpass 1,000 Golden Hawks this year, but we need your help.
First, I encourage all of those interested in joining the MEGA Reunion Event Page on FaceBook by clicking here.
You'll see hundreds of Golden Hawks have already confirmed they're going to be there, but I need your help to spread the word to as many former alums as possible...
You're guaranteed to see lots of old friends, live music, lots of drinks, and LOADS OF FUN. Bring your friends and family with you. There's plenty of space to hang out. And remember, the Springs River Festival is a family festival with rides and games for the kids. Bring the whole family.
DIRECTIONS TO THE SPRINGS RIVER FESTIVAL: From the Palmetto, take NW 36 Street east to NW 57 Avenue. That's Curtiss Parkway. Make a left at 57th Avenue and proceed north till you reach the end.
From I-95, take I-95 to State Road 112. Take State Road 112 West to NW 36 Street. Proceed West on NW 36 Street to NW 57 Avenue. Make a right turn on NW 57 Avenue (aka Curtiss Parkway) and continue until you reach the end.
There will be plenty of parking in the median of Curtiss Parkway.
NOTE: The Reunion is outdoors and will go on rain or shine.
ATTIRE: It's an outdoor Festival, so please come casual and comfortable. We're all going to be having a great time in a fun and festive atmosphere.
For more information, call 305.775.4094 or email email@example.com

Riots, Anarchy, Thuggery, Lawlessness, Chaos & Fear in Charm City. Blame something. Blame anything. Blame everything…except those who perpetrated the chaos and above all don't take responsibility yourself. This theater of chaos has only one desired Hegelian outcome: an Orwellian nightmare from which people flee right into Huxley's dream.
The Constitutional Republic has been usurped by the tyranny of soft despotism with a veneer of democracy, elections and the distraction of bread and circuses. It shall persist UNLESS liberty-loving people of good moral character set aside their petty differences and band together to restore Constitutional governance for a free and virtuous nation from your own community on up to the Imperial District of Corruption. Restore The Constitutional Militia of the Several States, sound money, free economies, religious and civil liberties as well as a sensible foreign policy of trade, friendship and non-interventionist defense backed up by the most powerful Navy and Marines; or watch the fascists in both parties push transnational agendas to their benefit and our demise. This is the last chance to stop those who perpetuate a hegemonic empire abroad and a fascist police state at home. To defeat the lawless hordes of Cultural Marxists, fascists, oligarchs, kleptocrats, useful idiots and their fellow travelers especially the Democrat-socialists, first you MUST CRUSH the Neocon fascist-socialists on 'the right'. . .for liberty!

50 Shades of Meh SPOLIER CAST
in Romance
We've sort of been shopping around for a new home for the podcast (read: free) and we thought we'd try out blogtalkradio. This is a sort of test episode, and since the other "Idiots" didn't want to be part of this test, I've enlisted the help of some friends. Tonight, we're going to be talking about 50 Shades of Grey: the movie, as well as the book. Spoliers abound in this episode, so if you want to read the book or see the movie...wait...
