ARLINGTON, Texas Scott Feldman jokingly referred to himself as a utility pitcher Wednesday afternoon. Feldman's utility-like week continues Thursday when he makes a spot start for Colby Lewis, who went on the disabled list Tuesday with tightness in his right forearm. Sunday night Feldman was warming in the ninth inning during the game against Colorado. Monday he was warming in the first inning with Justin Grimm struggling. Feldman, who will make his ninth start of the season, understands weeks like this come with the territory. "It was tough at the beginning of the year but I've sort of gotten used to what my role is," said Feldman, who will be starting with eight days' rest. "I kind of got used to the program. I try to go out there and stay mentally involved and do as well as I can. In a perfect world, which it's not, I would like to know what I'm doing all the time. For right now, this is fine. I'm just happy to be getting the ball." Feldman (1-6) had his best start in his la...

by Unger, J. Marshall
Publisher:Oxford University Press, USA
This book challenges the widespread belief that overzealous Americans forced unnecessary script reforms on an unprepared, unenthusiastic, but helpless Japan during the Occupation. Unger presents neglected historical evidence showing that the reforms implemented from 1946 to 1959 were both necessary and moderate. Although the United States Education Mission of 1946 recommended that the Japanese give serious consideration to the introduction of alphabetic writing, key American officials in the Civil Information and Education Section of GHQ/SCAP delayed and effectively killed action on this recommendation. Japanese advocates of romanization nevertheless managed to obtain CI&E approval for an experiment in elementary schools to test the hypothesis that schoolchildren could make faster progress if spared the necessity of studying Chinese characters as part of non-language courses such as arithmetic. Though not conclusive, the experiment's results supported the hypothesis and suggested the need for more and better testing. Yet work was brought to a halt a year ahead of schedule; the Ministry of Education was ordered to prepare a report that misrepresented the goal of the experiment and claimed it proved nothing. The whole episode dropped from official and scholarly view--until the publication of this book.

In order to identify promising dividend candidates for further research, I follow a multi-dimensional approach. At least once per month, I run my dividend entry criteria screen on the dividend champions list in order to uncover attractively valued securities. I also review my portfolio, in order to determine whether I should initiate a position in a new stock or I should add to an existing position. Another method I use is to look at the weekly list of dividend increases, in order to identify up and coming dividend achiever, and also to monitor the dividend increases for my existing positions.
I identified the following dividend increases over the past week, which I found interesting.
Lowe's Companies, Inc. (LOW) operates as a home improvement retailer. It offers products for maintenance, repair, remodeling, and home decorating. The company managed to increase dividends by 12.50% to 18 cents/share. This dividend king has managed to boost distributions for 51 consecutive years. While earnings per share have not grown above the high set in 2007, I believe that the company's best days are ahead in the future. Lowe's will benefit from the long-term recovery in the US housing sector, as well as expanding its presence domestically and internationally. The stock is not cheap right now at 23 time earnings and an yield of 1.70%, but it is a very good long-term hold. Check my analysis of Lowe's.
Helmerich & Payne, Inc. (HP) engages in the contract drilling of oil and gas wells. The company raised its quarterly distributions by 233% to 50 cents/share. This dividend champion has rewarded its shareholders with growing distributions for 41 consecutive years. The company also hiked dividends back in late 2012 from 7 to 15 cents/share.
Company Chairman and CEO, Hans Helmerich commented, "We are pleased to be in position to deliver a meaningful level of yield to our shareholders while retaining a strong ability to continue to pursue growth opportunities."
High double or triple digit dividend growth rates are more of one-time events, rather than the norm in future dividend increases for companies. I have found that companies that increase dividends at a double or triple digit rates indicate a policy shift that is friendly for investors. In addition, their willingness to distribute more to investors shows confidence in the underlying business prospects over the next three to five years. When I look at situations where companies decided to boost their payout ratio, and increased dividends significantly, shareholders were much better off going forward. This includes increases in earnings, dividends and also total returns.
For example, since V.F. Corp (VFC) increased quarterly dividends from 29 to 55 cents/share in 2006, dividends are up 58% to 87 cents/share. Earnings per share are up from $4.72 in 2006 to 49.70 in 2012, while the stock price is up by 205% to $187/share.
In the case of Helmerich & Payne, the company always had a very low dividend payout ratio, because the number of drilling units in the industry in the US and around the world fluctuates a lot. However, they still managed to build the long history of dividend hikes. This dividend champion has raised distributions for 42 years in a row. If earnings continue growing, and the company starts to meaningfully increase distributions over time in the high single digits, shareholders will be well compensated for the risks they are taking. The stock looks cheap at 11.20 times earnings and yields 3.10%. I would need to look into it, analyze further over the coming few weeks.
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. (CBRL) develops and operates the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store restaurant and retail concept in the United States. The company raised its quarterly distributions by 50% to 75 cents/share. This dividend achiever has raised distributions for 11 years ina row.
Ever since last year, when on April 26, 2012 Cracker Barrel increased quarterly dividends from 25 to 40 cents/share; the stock has been on a tear. The company has essentially tripled the dividend, and the stock has gone by 70%. Earnings per share have increased from $3.61 in 2011 to an expected range of $4.75 – $4.85 in 2013. Currently, the stock is fully valued at 20.80 times earnings and an yield of 3.10%.
At the end of the day, dividend growth investors need not only look at dividend yields but also the underlying earnings growth that fuels those distributions. If a company that has maintained a low payout ratio all of a sudden determines to share a greater portion of its already growing earnings stream, this unlocks a lot of value for shareholders and makes the asset even more appealing.

Three Interesting Dividend Increases to Learn From
Labels: dividend increase

Have you looked at Realty Income Corp (O) lately? They had a fairly large correction within the past couple of weeks.ReplyDelete
I almost yields 5% now. I sold a put at expires in a few months, so let's hope I get assigned to it. If not, I would earn some premiums in the process.ReplyDelete
I do expect some large expenses going forward over the next 2- 3 months, which is why I might refrain from much in stock purchases through there.

To begin with, popular strategy game Age of Empires from Microsoft will soon be making way to mobile devices.
Popular PC game, Age of Empires of Microsoft will soon be making its way to mobile devices including Apple iOS platform and Google's Android platform by the end of this year, according to a report of Nikkei.
Microsoft has come up with an exclusive licensing deal with Klabs, Japan based game software maker who will be porting the games and making them available for mobile devices and platforms, the report said.
Klabs will be working on Age of Empires first and is likely to be releasing it for mobile devices as a free to play game by the end of this year.
The benefit of this partnership will be shared with devices based on other operating systems. Although till now there has been no other information shared other than Age of Empires but more such popular games will be made available in both paid as well as freemium options.
Earlier this year too there were reports of an octa core smartphone featuring the upcoming Windows 10 operating system.
The Microsoft Lumia 540 may be priced around Rs 10,000 for the Indian market.
Launched last month, the Lumia 435 is the most affordable Lumia smartphone.
Lumia 640 XL will begin rolling out globally this month itself while the Lumia 640 will be rolled out in April/
The Microsoft Lumia 640 rumoured to have quad core processor, 8 GB ROM and other such decent features.
As per Zauba, the Microsoft Lumia 532 may be priced between Rs 6,999 to Rs 7,499.
The Microsoft Lumia 735 is a Windows Phone 8.1 OS based smartphone that is 4G ready.
Windows 8 has been criticised by users for its tablet friendly design rather than that of desktop or laptop.
The Microsoft Lumia 535 is the first Lumia phone to be launched without Nokia brand.
Named as Guardian, the app allows users to call for help through an 'SOS' alert button and also connect to security agencies, police and hospitals easily via this app in times of distress.

No. 322,969 Claims priority, application France, Nov. 16, 1962, 915,704, Patent 1,353,494 7 Claims. (Cl. 222-135) It is already known for numerous products to be used in the aerosol packaging, and for this purpose such prod nets are generally arranged in the form of a solution in a can which also contains a propellant constituted by a gas or a mixture of liquefied gases under pressure so that, when the can is opened, the product is projected either in the form of more or less finely divided droplets, or in the form of a foam.
The present invention has as its object to provide apparatus whereby several products can be discharged simultaneously in the form of an aerosol in such a manner that they are mixed automatically and in constant, pre-determined proportions.
According to this invention, there is provided means for forming a constant proportion mixture of two or more aerosols such means comprising apparatus for opening simultaneously individual cans containing solutions of the aerosols to be mixed, ducting each of the aerosol solutions from said cans separately to a mixing chamber via a calibrated orifice which determines the rate of flow of such aerosol solution and finally discharging aerosol solution mixture into the atmosphere from said mixing chamber through a variable opening valve.
The means according to the invention may be used in many fields and is particularly suitable, for example, for dispensing hair-colouring products having a base of oxidation colouring substances which require, just before use, the addition of an oxidising solution for permitting the polymerisation of the colouring substances to be effected.
According to a further aspect of this invention, there is provided apparatus for producing a constant proportion mixture of two or more aerosols, such apparatus comprising a container for receiving valved cans containing solutions of the aerosols to be mixed, a plurality of hollow stems one connectible to each of the aerosol cans, a mixing chamber to which each of the said hollow stems is individually connected by a duct including an orifice of calibrated cross-section, and means for opening the valves of all of the cans simultaneously, and preferably fully, so as to bring their contents into communication with the mixing chamber, the mixing chamber having an outlet to the atmosphere controlled by a variable opening valve.
In order that this invention may more readily be understood, reference will now be made by way of example to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIGURE 1 is an exploded perspective view of apparatus according to this invention for carrying out the methd of the invention in a case where it is desired to mix the contents of two aerosol cans;
FIGURE 2 is a diagrammatic sectional view of the apparatus of FIGURE 1 in an assembled condition;
FIGURE 3 is a perspective view showing how the apparatus of FIGURES 1 and 2 is used; and
FIGURE 4 is a side view of the apparatus illustrating how it is charged.
Referring to the drawings, the references 1 and 2 rep resent two aerosol cans, the contents of which are to be mixed in constant, predetermined proportions. These cans are preferably filled so that their internal pressures are, and remain, equal.
The apparatus illustrated comprises a distributor block 3 which has at its lower portion two hollow stems 4 and 5 debouching from the centres of rubber studs 6 and 7.
The hollow stems 4 and 5 are provided at their lower portion with a diametral slot 8 such that, when the hollow stems are applied against the closure members 9 ofthe aerosol cans as shown in FIGURE 2, the valves of the aerosol cans are opened and the interiors of the cans are put into communication with ducts 10 and 11 to which the hollow stems 4 and 5 are connected, sealing tightness about the hollow stems being ensured by the rubber studs 6 and 7.
The closure member for each of the cans has been shown diagrammatically in FIGURE 2 as a ball 9. It will, however, be apparent that such closure member may be a valve of any other convenient type.
The diametral slots 8 constitute calibrated orifices determining the rates of flow of aerosol into the ducts 10 and 11. Such calibrated orifices could equally well, if desired, be constituted by diaphragms in the ducts 10 and 11 or any other suitable means.
However, it is essential for the satisfactory operation of the apparatus that the rate of flow of each aerosol can should be determined by its calibrated orifice, whatever form this takes, and that the arrangement should be such that the valve of each aerosol can is opened fully or almost fully so that such valve does not cause any limitation of the rate of flow which might otherwise disturb the satisfactory carrying out of the method of this invention.
Within the block 3 is a mixing chamber 12 to which the ducts 10 and 11 lead and which contains a helical member for promoting the mixing of the two aerosol solutions. Such member could be replaced by any other convenient mixing aid.
At its upper end, the chamber 12 is connected to a distribution valve 13 secured to the block 3 and from which the mixture of the two aerosol solutions may be discharged at a regulatable rate of flow. The valve is spring biased to a closed position and is operable by depression against this spring of hollow stem at the upper part of the valve.
The distributor block 3 and the aerosol cans 1 and 2 are accommodated in a container 14 which is provided at its lower portion with a pivotable cover 15 co-operating with a'lever 16 provided with a stirrup 17 which can engage on hooks 15a and 15b on the cover 15.
The dimensions of the container 14 are such that, when the block 3 and the cans 1 and 2 are introduced into the container 14 without exerting any supplementary pressure for forcing the cans within the container, the position is as shown in FIGURE 4 and the cover 15, lever 16 and stirrup 17 can be brought to the position shown. It is then possible to pass the lower end of valve 13 through the orifice 18 at the top of the container 14 and on to the top of a duct 13a in the distributor block 3 and leading from the mixing chamber 12. The apparatus is then ready for operation.
For obtaining the mixture in conformance with the invention, the lever 16 is then swung upwardly in the direction indicated by the arrow F (FIGURE 4) in order to bring such lever into the position shown in FIGURE 3.
As a result, first the upper ends of the cans 1 and 2 are pressed against the studs 6 and 7 and consequently ensure sea1ing-tightness between the said cans and the ducts 10 and 11, and then the hollow stems 4 and 5 engage within the cans and simultaneously depress the closure members 9 so that the aerosol cans 1 and 2 are put in communication with the mixing chamber 12 through the agency of the slots 8 which, as explained hereinbefore, serve as calibrated orifices.
Although the mixing chamber is under pressure, the valve 13 closes the mixing chamber and nothing is discharged from the apparatus.
If the nozzle of valve 13 is then depressed, the contents of the cans 1 and 2 are put in communication with the exterior and the apparatus discharges a mixture of aerosols which :has constant pre-determined proportions. In order to stop the discharge, it is merely necessary to relax the pressure on the nozzle of valve 13.
If the contents of the cans 1 and 2 are so arranged as to ensure that the pressures in the cans remain constant, particularly uniform mixtures are obtained the proportions of whose constituents are constant. In practice, and in cases where it is intended only to mix two aerosol compositions, it is preferable that the calibrated orifices of the ducts and 11 should be absolutely identical and that the predetermined proportioning of the various constituents should be effected by pre-regulating the pressure which is made to prevail in each of the aerosol cans.
This arrangement has the advantage that the aerosol cans can be positioned equally well on either of the two nozzles.
What We claim is:
1. Apparatus for producing in constant. proportions a mixture of two or more aerosols, said apparatus comprising a container for receiving valved cans containing solutions of the aerosols to be mixed, a mixing chamber carried :by said container, a plurality of duct means communicating with said chamber, each duct means terminating in a hollow stem projecting inwardly with respect to said container and adapted to be connected to one of said aerosol cans, each duct means being provided with an orifice of calibrated cross-section and said mixing chamber being provided with an outlet to the ambient atmosphere, means for causing said hollow stems to open the valves of all of said cans simultaneously so as to bring their contents into communication with the mixing chamher through said duct means, and a variable opening valve controlling said mixing chamber outlet.
2. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the said container has at the upper part thereof a block in which said mixing chamber is formed and from the lower surface of which said hollow stems project.
3. Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said hollow stems project from resilient studs adapted, in use of the apparatus, to be pressed tightly against the tops of the aerosol cans.
4. Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the container has an openable bottom through which the aerosol cans may be inserted in the container, and a cover for such bottom and said means for causing said hollow stems to open the valves on said aerosol cans comprises means for applying closure pressure to such cover.
5. Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the said variable opening valve is remova bly mounted on the top of the container.
6. Apparatus according to claim 14 wherein a plurality of aerosol cans are fitted in said container with the hollow stems of the apparatus engaged in, and opening, the valves of the aerosol cans.
7. Apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the said calibrated orifices are of equal dimensions and the pressures in the aerosol cans are proportional to the proportions in which the aerosols are desired to be mixed.

30 year old man | Scottsdale, AZ, USA | Seeking women 23-32 within 25 miles of Sacramento, CA
Good luck exploring the infinite abyss.
Hey, so here's a little about me... I'm a smart ass and I generally keep everybody laughing. A lot of people come to me when they need to talk so I can be serious when necessary but I prefer not to be. I'm very independent and responsible for my own life. I'm content with who I am as a human being but there is still room for improvement. I'm very close with my family. I like meeting people who aren't afraid to be themselves and don't always take life so seriously :). I moved to the Sacramento area a few years ago and I 'd say it took a good couple of years for it to really start feeling like home. There are so many great things to do here and plenty of fun adventurous places within just a few hours drive of here. One of my goals this year is to explore a bit more and hopefully go on some awesome hikes. I work for a pretty good company and although I don't work to live I do work hard and it has paid off! Anyways, I have a good job, great friends and although I don't need someone to complete my life I would like to meet a woman who can compliment it and I'd like to do be able to fill that spot in her life. I feel like it's the one thing I'm missing in my life. Well, that's all you get on here, if you'd like to know more about me you will have to message me to find out :) I look forward to hearing from you!

"Her sincere and nonchalant attitude struck a chord with me," he says.
Do the Brits hold a monopoly on looking this nonchalant about pending death?
I so wanted to seem brave and nonchalant, but my hands began to shake and my heart accelerated.
1734, from French nonchalant, present participle of nonchaloir "be indifferent to, have no concern for" (13c.), from non- "not" (see non-) + chaloir "have concern for," ultimately from Latin calere "be hot" (see calorie). French chaland "customer, client" is of the same origin. Related: Nonchalantly.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - The governor's veto of a bill that would have allowed less oversight by physicians of nurse practitioners could limit efforts to attract more of the health care professionals to Nebraska and lessen a shortage of medical services in the state, according to nurse practitioners.
Gov. Dave Heineman vetoed the bill last week, citing concerns for patient safety. Lawmakers had unanimously approved the bill on the last day of the legislative session.
The bill would have removed a requirement that nurse practitioners have an agreement with a physician, who would be available for collaboration or referral if a patient's condition doesn't respond to treatment and requires more of a team-approach.
LaDonna Hart, president of Nebraska Nurse Practitioners, said in some cases, there may not be a physician in the area to sign the agreement. Some physicians are barred in their contracts from signing agreements with someone outside of their organization, and some might feel the agreements increase their liability.
The two health care professionals have to be in the same geographic area, according to law.
Supporters of the bill argued the so-called integrated practice agreement makes it harder to recruit and retain nurse practitioners, who could be a key part of efforts to address health care shortages in rural areas of Nebraska.
"The integrated practice agreement is a barrier to those residing in Nebraska from being able to access health care and the care provided by nurse practitioners, and it is a barrier for the nurse practitioners to provide that care," Hart said.
A study by the University of Nebraska Medical Center found an increase in the number of primary care nurse practitioners in Nebraska between 2007 and 2011, but the growth wasn't fast enough to meet an increasing demand.
Growth was also slower in rural counties than in urban counties, said Jim Stimpson, director of the Center for Health Policy at UNMC.
A separate study found there were fewer primary care physicians in the state than previously reported.
In his veto letter, Heineman and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Joseph Acierno expressed concern about patient safety, writing that "adequate clinical experience is necessary for patient safety."
However, the agreement required between nurse practitioners and doctors in Nebraska isn't demanded in the District of Columbia or 17 states, including neighboring Colorado, Iowa and Wyoming, said Tay Kopanos, vice president of State Government Affairs for the American Association of Nurse Practitioners.
Kopanos said decades of study indicate it's safe for nurse practitioners to practice without such agreements.
Many nurse practitioners haven't been able to move to rural areas because they can't find a physician, Kopanos said.
"It restricts where people can go," she said.

I love everything about this hair spray. Great smell, great hold, decent price & you can usually catch it on sale & stock up. It does have a great 'natural hold'. However, with this hair spray, if you need a little extra hold, you can 'build it' up. Meaning, this hairspray will give you a stiffer hold if you'll spray it on, let it dry, then spray again.

On CBS's Elementary and Joan Watson
So the new CBS series opted to make Watson a woman. And I've got to admit, I think it's great, but I still had some reservations, since TV in general is not known for treating female characters well. When we'd all heard that she was no longer a veteran, and was a disgraced surgeon, and that she was hired as a caretaker ("sober companion") for Holmes, those reservations shot through the roof. But I was still hopeful, because Lucy Liu is a great actress and because it would be nice to see women in more leading roles.
I was especially looking forward to seeing a female character get in on the fun and adventure for once. Because women pretty much never get to be the adventurous ones. They are always either disapproving nags or sweetly tolerant of the boyfriend's/male friend's exploits. And by making Watson a sober companion, it looked like they were going that second route: Watson as nurturing, supportive clean-up crew for Holmes.
Then I saw the preview.
First of all, that burn? About the mirrors? That was sweet. That was Joan, showing that there was only so much shit she would take. And it's a very different dynamic from Sherlock, and a different dynamic from the books, but it kind of has to be, and not just because Joan's a woman, but because where Victorian Holmes is simply eccentric, modern Sherlock often looks like a jerk, and most people wouldn't put up with his crap, so the writers have to show us why Watson does.
The fact of the matter is, most women have to deal with a lot a bullshit under the excuse that "boys will be boys, lol!" We're pretty much socialized for it. And I think Joan, being a woman and a POC in a male dominated field, and then being someone who works with recovering addicts, has had more than her share of it. "Genius asshole" is not a novel experience for her.
For John Watson, Sherlock's brilliance is enough to hook him. The danger and adventure sealed the deal, that was the icing on the cake, but the sweet sweet chocolatey goodness of Sherlock's razor-sharp intelligence was what brought him to the table in the first place. Joan admires Holmes's intelligence, but it's not enough to hook her, not if he's going to be an asshole. Assholes are a dime a dozen, and intelligent people aren't exactly scarce on the ground either, not in a major metro area like New York. If he wants her respect, he's going to have to earn it. His genius isn't the hook, but the adventures are. She hates her job, and his is so much more interesting. That's what I got from the preview, at any rate.
It's almost a sort of inversion of the BBC's narrative, where John is hooked by Sherlock's genius and stays for the adventure. Joan is hooked by the adventure and I think she'll end up staying because he proves that there's a decent human beneath the weirdness and snobbery and ego after all. And that's an inversion of the BBC dynamic as well. Sherlock can be a good man, but his more human side has to be drawn out of him by others: John, Mrs. Hudson, Molly, Lestrade. It's their faith and love that brings out the best in him. But I think Elementary Holmes is going to have to do that emotional heavy-lifting himself. It's not going to be up to others to draw him out; after his drug abuse and assorted shenanigans it's going to be up to him to prove that he can be a better person. And it's a parallel journey for Watson as well, since she has to prove herself after losing a patient and her license and her entire livelihood.
It's interesting to me, because they also seem to being doing a bit of meta with it. Assholes aren't the only thing that are a dime a dozen. There's already a ton of shows about socially dysfunctional geniuses who solve crimes. Elementary is going to have to do something extraordinary if they want to stand out. This may be a bit of a reach on my part, but consider that scene in the preview with JLM's love-at-first-sight speech, where it seemed like the writers were blatantly poking fun at people who are paranoid that they will introduce a romance between Holmes and Watson just because Watson's a woman. Given that, I don't think a bit more meta is out the question. All in all, I'm really looking forward to seeing where they go with this.
