Did the tax season give you nightmares, trying to organize your investments and put together the paperwork? It is probably time you clean your portfolio. Here are some tips to make it smart, simple and more manageable:
1. Take Inventory and Weed Out Junk:
The mess that your finances look is probably because although you have invested, you never planned. The result: you have a cluttered portfolio with too many financial products which you do not know what to do with or how to manage. In fact, it is quite possible that you might have lost track and even don't know some of them exist. So, start by listing of all your investments—each stock, bond, fund or insurance you own and the amount you have invested in it. There are bound to be some lemons you need to get rid of.

Try this Pan-Seared Scallops with Plum Tomato Sauce And Basil recipe, or contribute your own. "Parmes" and "Cheese" are two tags used to describe Pan-Seared Scallops with Plum Tomato Sauce And Basil.
In a saucepan add a touch of olive oil, plum tomatoes, 3 shallots and 4 cloves of garlic and cook until shallots are translucent. Add white wine and juice of 2 lemons. Bring to boil, reduce heat, let cook three minutes. Remove from heat and add all ingredients to blender and puree. This process may require being done in steps so that blender does not overflow. Strain pureed ingredients through chinoise, throw out pulp, reserve broth. Bring broth back up to at least 110 degrees. Place in a clean blender, add cubed butter with blender on high to emulsify, thicken sauce, season to taste. In a large pot bring to boil salted water and then cook pasta to al dente, refresh in ice bath and set aside. Toss in 1 tablespoon olive oil until ready to serve. In a blender, add 2 cloves of garlic, 1 shallot, basil, parsley and watercress, juice of the 1 remaining lemon, cover blender, turn on high. Slowly add 1 cup olive oil until emulsified. Season with salt -- add fresh cracked black pepper (a lot), briefly turn blender on. Transfer contents into a squirt bottle and refrigerate until ready to serve. Place 1 saute pan over high heat until it smokes. In another saute pan place 1 teaspoon of olive oil, add 3 ounces of pasta, then 4 ounces of tomato sauce, check for seasoning of salt and pepper to taste. In smoking pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season scallops with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, then add to hot oil. Sear deeply until warm brown color; turn each scallop over and finish in a 375 degree oven (for 3 minutes). In desired plate or bowl place pasta with sauce, when scallops are done arrange them on top of pasta. Liberally swizzle pesto over plate and garnish with purple basil sprig. This recipe yields 4 servings.

EA re-revealed Mirror's Edge during its E3 press conference (a reboot of the franchise rather than a sequel) and the trailer was received with much acclaim. Today during an analyst call, Frank Gibeau from EA says that the new Mirror's Edge game will be an "open-world action adventure game."
How would you feel about an open-world Mirror's Edge game? I think it would be great. As a speed running parkour game, it would open up to many possibilities and some cool speed run competitions within the community.
The new Mirror's Edge game is confirmed for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. No release date for the game has been announced.

2014 (25-9, 16-2 BIG EAST, Final RPI of 34)
Creighton won both the regular-season and tournament titles in the BIG EAST while advancing to a third consecutive NCAA Tournament. The Bluejays opened the year 7-6 against a ruthless non-conference schedule, but did earn a win over former MVC rival Wichita State to win the Bluejay Invitational for the first time. The Jays avenged both regular-season losses in BIG EAST play with a 3-1 triumph over Seton Hall in the BIG EAST Championship final. Lauren Smith (MVP), Leah McNary and Marysa Wilkinson were named to the All-Tournament Team, while Kelli Browning and Jess Bird were named First Team All-Conference. Browning would close her career as CU's all-time leader in attack percentage and block assists while being named a Third Team All-American by the AVCA and the Omaha Sports Woman of the Year by the Omaha Sports Hall of Fame. The year also saw Kate Elman become CU's all-time digs leader.
2013 (23-9, 12-4 BIG EAST, Final RPI of 18)
Creighton's first season in the BIG EAST saw the Bluejays attain a best-ever year-end RPI of 18 to go with runner-up finishes in league play during both the regular-season and league tournament. Ranked 24th nationally in the preseason AVCA poll, Creighton opened a challenging non-conference schedule with a 3-1 win over No. 13 BYU, part of a stretch that also featured matches vs. California, Kansas, Cal State Northridge, UCLA, Hawai'i and Wichita State. Kelli Browning and Michelle Sicner were named All-American Honorable Mention by the AVCA, while Browning and Leah McNary were First Team All-BIG EAST. CU led the nation with 3.06 blocks per set. The Bluejays reached the NCAA Tournament for the third time in four seasons, defeating Arkansas before falling in four sets at Kansas.
2012 (29-4, 17-1 MVC, Final RPI of 24)
One of the best seasons by any women's team in Creighton history saw the Bluejays close their 19-year run in the MVC by winning the program's first Valley regular-season and Tournament titles. CU won regular-season tournaments at South Florida and Northern Colorado before clinching the outright league crown with a memorable 3-2 comeback win at rival Wichita State. The Jays swept the Shockers eight days later for the Valley Tourney title, then defeated Marquette in straight sets to open NCAA Tournament play before falling in four frames at Minnesota. Megan Bober was named MVC Player of the Year and Tournament MVP, while Kelli Browning was tabbed MVC Defensive Player of the Year after tying for the national lead with 204 blocks. Both women were named All-Americans Honorable Mention and were joined on the All-MVC First Team by freshman Melanie Jereb. Kirsten Bernthal Booth was named MVC Coach of the Year and CaptainU National Coach of the Year. Creighton also spent four weeks in the AVCA Top 25 for the first time, reaching as high as No. 21 before finishing No. 24.
2011 (17-14, 12-6 MVC, Final RPI of 74)
Creighton finished the 2011 season with a 17-14 mark, falling in the quarterfinals of the MVC Tournament. The Bluejays tied a program record with three First Team All-MVC picks (Megan Bober, Laurel Sanford and MVC Libero of the Year Julianne Mandolfo). Bober set an MVC single-season record with nine triple-doubles, while Mandolfo set CU single-season records for digs and digs per set. Leah McNary and Michelle Sicner, were named to the MVC's All-Freshman squad.
2010 (21-12, 13-5 MVC, Final RPI of 32)
Creighton's breakthrough season saw the Bluejays make their first NCAA Tournament, upset No. 16 Iowa State, and Kirsten Bernthal Booth claim National Coach of the Year honors from CVU.com. Creighton finished third in the MVC, the nation's No. 6-ranked conference, and then broke down another barrier by reaching its first conference tournament final. The Jays earned an at-large bid and beat Iowa State in five sets before falling at No. 12 Minnesota in the NCAA Tourney. Sophomore setter Megan Bober was named First Team All-MVC and All-American Honorable Mention as part of a balanced squad that ranked second nationally in digs per set (18.94).
2009 (14-17, 10-8 MVC, Final RPI of 86)
Creighton opened D.J. Sokol Arena inside the Wayne and Eileen Ryan Athletic Center, setting a school record with 10 home wins. Creighton beat No. 25 Wichita State on Oct. 2 for its first win over a ranked opponent, and hosted the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament for the first time at year's end. The team overcame a 3-8 non-conference mark with a fourth-place finish in the MVC. Jessica Houts was named First Team All-MVC to lead a Creighton defense that ranked third nationally in blocks per set.
2008 (18-9, 15-3 MVC, Final RPI of 46)
Once again Creighton narrowly missed an NCAA bid, finishing with the second-best RPI of any team left out of the field. The Bluejays dropped key five-set matches to No. 21 LSU and UAB early in the year and a chance to pick up some key wins was lost when a tournament was cancelled due to a hurricane in Texas. Creighton cruised through the league with a 15-3 mark, including a sweep of UNI on the last weekend of the year, to finish alone in second place and set a program record with an eighth-straight win. However, the Bluejays dropped a five-set match to UNI in the MVC Tournament semifinals. Jessica Houts was named MVC Defensive Player of the Year and Honorable Mention All-American and joined teammates Korie Lebeda and Amanda Cvejdlik on the All-MVC First Team.
2007 (21-10, 14-4 MVC, Final RPI of 56)
Creighton didn't receive an NCAA Tournament at-large bid despite a second straight 21-10 campaign. The Jays tied for second in the MVC but despite one of the nation's top-15 toughest non-conference schedules, weren't among four MVC teams selected to the NCAA's. Kelly Goc and Korie Lebeda both repeated as First Team All-Valley picks, with Goc also named an All-American Honorable Mention. Allie Oelke was MVC Freshman of the Year and libero Bianca Rivera set a single-season dig mark. Creighton averaged a record 1,860 fans per home match, hosting more than 13,000 at CenturyLink Center Omaha for a Sept. 2 contest vs. Cal Poly.
2006 (21-10, 12-6 MVC, Final RPI of 57)
Creighton's first team to win 20 or more matches ranked among the national leaders in attendance as well. A five-set road win at Wichita State and exciting four-set match against eventual national champion Nebraska before more than 12,000 fans prove the program reached previously unprecedented heights. Kelly Goc and Korie Lebeda were both named First Team All-Valley as the Jays beat three teams that reached the NCAA Tournament.
2005 (16-14, 10-8 MVC, Final RPI of 124)
A road win at Northern Iowa highlighted a 16-14 season. Leah Ratzlaff repeated her First Team All-MVC honors and finished 12th in league history in career kills. Freshman Korie Lebeda topped the MVC with a school-record 13.34 assists per set and was joined by talented Jessica Houts and Amanda Cvejdlik in one of Creighton's top recruiting classes ever.
2004 (18-11, 10-8 MVC, Final RPI of 95)
A then-school-record seven-match winning streak that included victories at Missouri, New Mexico and Iowa helped Creighton reach 18 wins. Leah Ratzlaff was First Team All-MVC, while Carolyn Decker and Kelly Goc were named to the MVC's All-Freshman Team.
2003 (12-18, 9-9 MVC, Final RPI of 170)
With virtually the same personnel, Booth's first team improved its win total from 2002 by nine wins to finish 12-18. The season marked the program's move to the Omaha Civic Auditorium, and attendance records fell. Single-season school records were set for kills (Leah Ratzlaff), digs (Janeen Piller), blocks (Ashley Williams) and assists (Brittany Coleman).

The Phantom Band Bio Top
The Phantom Band was pulled together from all four corners of Scotland, settling on Glasgow as PB HQ. Duncan Marquiss (guitar), Gerry Hart (bass), Andy Wake (keyboards), Rick Anthony (vocals) and Greg Sinclair (guitars) are a volatile cabal of creative contradictions: a disorientating amalgam of music, art and performance that defies categorisation and provides an object lesson in how to forge something distinct and unique from well-worn sources.

What happens when a business trades in its cash register for a collection box? We're about to find out.
Panera Bread plans to open a Panera Cares café in Government Center, where customers will be asked to pay whatever they think their food is worth. It'll be the first café of its kind in Boston.
Giana Eckhardt, Marketing professor and co-author of The Myth of the Ethical Consumer, thinks it's a win-win for Panera and our local community. On a Boston Public Radio show with Jim Braude and Margery Eagon, Eckhardt said the idea "has a lot of brand-building potential."
Panera has four similar nonprofit cafés in Missouri, Oregon, Michigan, and Illinois. According to Panera CEO Ron Shaich, about 60 percent of customers pay the suggested amount for their food, about 20 percent give more, and about 20 percent give less or nothing at all.
Eckhardt isn't surprised by the numbers, but she doesn't think they're driven by ethics. Instead, she says the amount people will pay is primarily driven by the social norm. In other words, the amount you give will probably be similar to what everyone else is paying.
There are other factors we take into consideration, even if we don't realize it. For instance, depending on how much money you have in your wallet, whether or not you're in a rush, and your cultural upbringing, you may give more or less, Eckhardt explained.
Surprisingly, wealth isn't one of those factors. Eckhardt says there's no correlation between income and generosity. In fact, people in lower socioeconomic brackets are sometimes more generous, perhaps because they understand the value of giving at a more personal level, she said.
The new café is expected to open early this year. Eckhardt predicts that it will bring Panera great advertising and public relations benefits.

Enduring the summer book list
By Sara Greene
As the last few glorious days of summer drift by, the reality of school kicks in.
Students are faced with the back to school rush, with new clothes and supplies needed.
And, after putting it off for weeks, it's time at last to tackle the summer reading list.
"I think it's quite pointless, no one ever does it," said Jeff Zammett, a junior at Bristol Eastern High School.
Both Eastern and Bristol Central High School hand out a summer reading list. Students are required to choose a book, read it and take notes on it.
During the first week back in the classroom, students must write about the book they claim they read.
Students have a wide range of opinions on the value of the summer reading requirement.
"I personally love summer reading because we wouldn't know about (the books) if you didn't have a list," said Amy Grover, a freshman at Central.
But Easter freshman Bryant Wong said, "I thought the books had no relevance to school whatsoever. For successful learning, students to see the worth of the assignment."
Zammett said many students just cheat.
Websites have made it easy to fib about this assignment. A student can easily find a summary for a number of books on the reading list on the Internet.
Even though they grumble about it, many students are willing to do the reading assignment. But a few suggested changes.
"I don't think it's that bad. I think we should be reading during the summer," said Lindsey McDowell, a freshman at Central. "One book isn't going to kill you, but it should be an option because some kids don't like reading."
Hannah Clifton, a freshman at Eastern, said, "I think that instead of giving you books they should assign you authors. That would let you choose the books, but gives them more freedom."
Maybe summer reading assignments need to include options to match the wide variety of students' needs, some said.
Many students interviewed agreed that availability of books was a worry -- particularly since many students wait until the end of the summer to complete their assignments.
Only a few of the books have reading appeal, students said.
This leaves lots of people scrambling for the same books at the same time, creating some frustrated and anxious students.
But many generally agreed that summer reading assignments can also be a good learning experience.
In order for summer reading to be valuable, said those like the assignment, book lists and follow-up assignments need to be reviewed regularly.
Tattoo writer Mike Nguyen contributed to this story.

NFL Sunday, best in pajamas
I said goodbye to Friday with the intentions of having some sort of easy day on either Saturday or Sunday. The only two training items I had were a one hour run on Saturday and a one hour bike on Sunday. Cake walk. I'm in week 5 of 70.3 and so far, so good. Well, kinda. I'll explain later...
Anyway, Saturday, my oldest had a swim meet and I volunteered to time Lap 1 of the event so I was able to snap this crisp pic, brought to you by the fine folks at Apple. She's the one in the black suit with the black cap. I smile every time I watch her swim. Being closer to the center lane means you have the fastest time for that event going in. Fun swim meet facts for your Monday.
I got in my one hour run before the meet started. I could practically pitch a tent at the Y. Plus, there's plenty of room in the main lobby.
Afterward it was over I came home and took a nap. One of those kind where you drool all over the place. My muscles were twitching big time so I knew that my legs were tired and needed a break.
Slept in on Sunday and took a stand against getting ready or joining civilization. I wore my pajamas the entire day! I only changed into my bike shorts for my afternoon ride. In the house. While watching football. Just like Burger King, yesterday I had it my way!
My loyal steed laying at the foot of my bike.
I wanna be able to balance myself on the bike like a tight rope. My ultimate goal is to be able to do a handstand on it. Go ahead and laugh. My husband does.
A special thanks to:
First and foremost, Google images. Way to go. Such clear pictures.
Secondly, to the Patriots who made my living room bike ride that much more enjoyable. Chest bump to a pay raise.
Third, to the Giants, who managed to hire a kicker who can actually get the football through the uprights from throwing distance. Way to go Gstrings. I mean GMen. I was practically holding my eyelids open at the end because the game took so long... but I was happy they won. I hope they beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl. I hope Victor Cruz scores each and every touchdown so I can watch him dance because I firmly believe that all Super Bowl games would be better with some Latin dancing in the end zone. Even if it does result in a 5 yard penalty.
Today is suppose to be my day off but I feel like swimming. And so I will.
Did you watch the games yesterday? Who's your pick?

I can't wait to see all of the outtake photos when you practice your handstands :)ReplyDelete
Go Giants. Indianpolis is a Giants town for the next two weeks, can't have tom brady winning a super bowl in the house the Peyton built.ReplyDelete
I am not laughing! I hope you nail that tightrope bike handstand :) and that's awesome that your daughter swims too. Do you ever go together?? and please don't hate me but I know nothing of football....unless you're talking british and we're talking soccer ;) sorry. But I'm glad it made your indoor cycle go by fast :)ReplyDelete
Pics or it didn't happen..:)) Just don't fall and break a leg eh?ReplyDelete
Last year was my 1st year of swim meets & do you know what I loved best????? Being freakin' WARM while watching my kid compete! No kidding. Up until then, my boys have only run XC, track & played hockey (at an outdoor rink)....dry & warm, yeah I'll take that ;-DReplyDelete
Confession: I could not possibly care less about football. I do watch the Super Bowl because of bribery with finger foods and funny commercials.ReplyDelete
I'm a basketball fan myself- the games seem so much shorter!!!!
I absolutely love all day pajama days. My SIL showed up the other day while I was in my PJs in the middle of the day and asked if I was sick. I was like...hello??? Nooooo! I'm just cozy and happy :-)ReplyDelete
I dated a swimmer in high school, he had such a great body :) I watched both games yesterday and thought they were both fun to watch although none of them were teams I am crazy aboutReplyDelete
i have to see this handstand!! we had a PJ day yesterday too! i am finally feeling better, thanks for asking. so happy to be able run with out sounding like I have TB.ReplyDelete
I guess I'd rather see the Giants win too.ReplyDelete
BTW, I thought only guys could pitch tents at the Y, or anywhere else for that matter. Sorry, couldn't resist.
"I wore my pajamas all day"....ReplyDelete
Love it............
"My ultimate goal is to be able to do a handstand on it. Go ahead and laugh. My husband does"ReplyDelete
So your husband can do a handstand on a bike?
One of my favorite things about swimming was having my dad volunteer at the meets - hope your daughter's enjoying it just as much!ReplyDelete
Full days in jammies are the BEST!ReplyDelete
And yay for your daughter! You must be a proud momma!
