3M (MMM) Dividend Stock Analysis
The company's latest dividend increase was announced in December 2013 when the Board of Directors approved a 34.60% increase in the quarterly annual dividend to 85.50 cents /share. The company's peer group includes General Electric (GE), Carlisle Companies (CSL), and Raven Industries (RAVN).
Over the past decade this dividend growth stock has delivered an annualized total return of 8% to its shareholders.
The company has managed to deliver a 9.70% average increase in annual EPS over the past decade. 3M Company is expected to earn $6.72 per share in 2013 and $7.46 per share in 2014. In comparison, the company earned $6.32/share in 2012.
In addition, between 2003 and 2013, the number of shares decreased from 795 million to 692 million. 3M expects to spend somewhere in the range of $17 billion to $22 billion on share repurchases through 2017.
The strength of 3M's business model is largely driven by three key strategic levers: active portfolio management, investing in innovation, and business transformation. Management believes that these levers, combined with more aggressive capital deployment, will drive enhanced value creation.
The company's financial objectives through 2017 include 9 – 11% growth in earnings per share, fueled by 4 – 6% annual revenue growth. In addition, 3M expects to make 5 – 10 billion in acquisitions over the next 3- 4 years.
The company generates 35% of revenues from emerging markets, which could increase to 40 – 45% by 2017, driven by strong growth in developing economies of the world. In fact, emerging market revenues are expected to increase by 8 – 12% over the next four years, versus a more modest 2 – 4% growth for developed markets.
The company spends over 5% of revenues on R&D, and has been able to discover innovative products to bolster its bottom line. 3M expects to increase R&D expense to 6% of revenues by 2017. 3M keeps careful track of new product development, using a measure called the New Product Vitality Index (NPVI), which quantifies the percentage of 3M's sales from products that were introduced during the past five years. In 2013, the NPVI was 33%. The company is trying to increase this index to 37% by 2017.
In addition, the company is investing $700- $800 million in a new globally integrated ERP IT system, the implementation of which should be completed by 2017. The system is estimated to result in annual operational efficiencies of $500 million/year, plus an improved working capital management of an equal amount.
3M has maintained a high level of return on equity over the past decade. However, the indicator has decreased slightly from 34.60% in 2003 to 27% in 2012. I generally want to see at least a stable return on equity over time. I use this indicator to assess whether management is able to put extra capital to work at sufficient returns.
The annual dividend payment has increased by 6.80% per year over the past decade, which is lower than the growth in EPS. This was driven by the slow growth in dividends per share between 2007 and 2010, which was in the range of 2 – 4% per annum. In hindsight, it looks that dividend growth rates fluctuate over time, and one should not be scared away from temporary slowdown in income growth.
A 7% growth in distributions translates into the dividend payment doubling every ten years on average. Future dividend growth would have to track growth in earnings per share, and would likely be in the high-single digits.
The dividend payout ratio has increased from 41% in 2003 to almost 67% in 2012. Looking at estimated earnings for 2013 however, the forward dividend payout ratio is 57%. A lower payout is always a plus, since it leaves room for consistent dividend growth minimizing the impact of short-term fluctuations in earnings.
Currently 3M is attractively valued at 19.10 times estimated 2013 earnings, yields 2.60% and has a sustainable distribution. I like the story for 3M, but would definitely appreciate it better if I can add to my position at lower prices from here.

I've been eyeing it as well. Do you have a fair value calculated that you'd consider buying 3M at?ReplyDelete
Hi Rahjah,ReplyDelete
Thanks for stopping by. I don't calculate fair values on stocks. I would be interested in MMM on dips below 20 times earnings and yields above 2.50%.
This also is dependent on whether other companies are better values than MMM at the time I have cash to invest
From my limited knowledge this does look attractive. So the "per share dividend" would come in cash each year and the investor could just choose to purchase more of the stock, correct?ReplyDelete
Hi Stephen,ReplyDelete
Welcome to the site. You are correct that the dividend per share is the amount you will receive as an owner of one share in MMM, that holds it for one year.
But there is more 3M has raised dividends every year for over half a century, so it is very likely that in the future, the amount of cash dividends will be even higher.
Best Regards,
Dividend Growth Investor
Hi DGI, from where do you get all sort of info regarding a company? Thanks in advance.ReplyDelete

also, I have a problem, I had this on my PSP, I also had Shiny Gold. After playing this my Shiny Gold file was messed up. I would start in a place I had saved at a while ago (I was in some town, and ended up in the National Park Contest), but with my pokemon from this, and I couldn't move at all (all I could do was open the start menu).
I tried removing this games save file, but then Shiny Gold said it's save file was gone (the file was still in correct location, but it wouldn't notice it).
tl;dr Shiny Gold confused this games save file as it's own (even the names won't changed), and now it stopped reading it's own.

Awesome job on this paper craft deviation here. Excellent work on the use of the red color scheme for this particular doll. I especially love the detail work on the doll's outfit and hair, which actually makes the doll stand out more among all your previous deviations so far. Even the star on her right cheek and the cute expression on her face look very lively, as if to greet the folder and looks about ready to jump out at them. I look forward to downloading this doll and adding it to my growing collection. Thanks for sharing this deviation!

There are far too many business insurance companies in the United States for a random listing to do justice to them all. Also, while insurance companies may offer a variety of different types of policies, most of them have an area where they are strongest, if not of specialization.
Additionally, many very good business insurance companies limit their operations to certain geographical regions. Keeping that in mind, here is a random list of companies that you could contact for your business insurance needs.
Eight Business Insurance Companies:
Acacia was chartered by an Act of Congress in 1869, making it one of the oldest insurance companies in the United States. It offers a wide range of insurance policies. In a business context, those that may be of interest are: Disability Insurance; Retirement Plans; and Group Dental, Eye, and Hearing Insurance.
The Hartford is another old and well established insurance company with a wide range of insurance products. In the case of business insurance, they offer Property and Casualty Insurance, Group Benefits, and Group Reinsurance.
The Great American Insurance Group was founded in 1872 and has been one of the most successful insurance companies in the United States. It offers a wide range of business insurance products including many specialty policies. Among the company's areas of strength are policies for Excess Liability, Ocean Marine, Preferred Markets, Property and Inland Marine, Trade Credit, and Trucking.
Retirement insurance is a very specialized form of business insurance and SunAmerica are pioneers in this field. A company's liabilities towards its employees extend to retirement benefits and investing in these kinds of policies can ensure that a company meets its obligations in this regard. While there are many popular products, SunAmerica's 401(K) insurance plans are tailored to the needs of small and medium-sized businesses.
AIG is one of the world's largest insurance services organizations and so it stands to reason that its portfolio of business insurance services will also be among the largest. Among the business-related policies available from them are: Accident and Health; Corporate Fleet Coverage; Corporate Risk Solutions; Energy Storage, Production, and Utilization Risk Coverage; Financial Products Coverage; Marine Cargo Insurance; special small business policies; Trade Credit coverage; and much more.
Among the business insurance policies this company is known for are policies covering Accidental Death and Dismemberment, Dental Insurance, Long Term Disability, Business Overhead Expense Insurance, and Retirement Disability Income.
The company also offers a package of cost effective, cutting-edge insurance products designed to meet the growing employee demands for this kind of protection.
New England Financial is a multiple product insurance organization that has many business insurance options in its policy portfolio. Among the best known and most popular of their insurance products are their employee retention policies and business continuation plans.
Safeco insurance has specialized in business insurance plans and policies. They have specially tailored policies for small business owners and home based businesses, Commercial Coverage Packages, Commercial Auto Insurance, Commercial Umbrella Policies, Business Income Insurance, and others.
A major player in the international insurance market, Zurich Insurance, through its North American subsidiary, offers a wide range of business insurance policies specially designed to meet the needs of American companies. Among the policies the company offers are Casualty Insurance, Commercial Property Insurance, Energy Risk Coverage, Mergers and Acquisitions Insurance, and many specialty lines designed for different industry segments.
Know What You Want Before Searching:
When looking for business insurance, the best thing to do is to first define what areas you need protection in and then look for companies that specialize in them.

New Year's Resolution 2015: Declare You Already Are the Perfect Version of Yourself Right Now
"I am turning my phone off.
I am turning Facebook and Twitter off.
I am turning email off.
I installed StayFocusd. I can use FB, twitter, and email combined for 30 minutes a day.
New Year's resolution: Relax.
Mantra of 2015: 12345678910
Style direction of 2015: pool party on the moon."
I love fresh starts. I love deciding to improve myself. However, after 32 years on this planet, I've learned to stop making grand sweeping claims that THIS TIME I AM GOING TO CHANGE! I SWEAR!
I've tried declaring sobriety and weightloss intentions. I've tried waking up early to go to the gym every day. I've tried to quit smoking, and I've tried to smoke more.
Who cares? Here I am in the same place at the same time, feeling distraught, wanting more sober time, with more weight to lose, and the same desire to MAKE IT this year, I swear this year my work is going to change the world!
I have a vision of this perfect self I want to become.
Skinny, with no attachment to alcohol, drugs or comfort food.
In peak physical condition, parkouring around my neighborhood and making new marathon PRs.
All with a hulahoop around my waist, and a camera crew documenting my every graceful move.
I wake up in the morning to write a mind blowing article about the meaning of life. I don't need acid, and you don't need acid, because I AM ACID!
Oh, also I get up at 6:30am. I meditate and clean my chakras with essential oils and crystals.
On the weekends I frolic at music festivals where I perform my magickal hoop gymnastics and heal people with my effortless embodiment of flow and well being. I never plan these trips because someone is always offering to drive me and pay for my ticket.
I wear my cat Pwny as a scarf when I run around town. Linty walks gracefully on a leash next to me. Kelly and I are constantly engrossed in deep conversation... without saying a word.
$5,000 we make a month comes to us in recurring, passive income. And that's just from the 555 subscribers we have to the School of Life Design library. I'm also constantly getting asked to make photomanipulation illustrations for digital music, and to write How To blog posts for Erowid, Clickhole, High Times, Evolver, and other consciousness raising platforms.
Miraculously, all of my family loves me and my work. I always have perfect timing when it comes to my family, and we frequently get together to work out at the gym and have art parties.
I have the best friends, but I always Do Me, so if I can't hang out because I'm incubating a mind-blowing project, I don't feel guilty.
I NEVER feel guilty.
One day I woke up and mold didn't grow in my bathroom and in the windowsills anymore.
My dad emailed to set up a monthly lunch, just me and him. My mom did the same, except we get to go shopping at Neiman's and Nordstrom. And Dick's.
I paid off all my debt this year. It was easier than I expected. The money just came.
Stores all around Austin are emailing me so they can stock copies of the Monthly Manifestation Manual. We make $10 off every copy sold, so that's a nice additional $100/day we're making.
My video meditations have really taken off, since my subscribers multiplied to 100,000. I just have a way with relaxing people and making them believe everything is going to be ok.
And while I am constantly doing me and working on my mind-blowing work, I have found it in my heart to be generous and always give what I want to receive.
I help people clean and improve their homes. I listen to people talk about their problems and offer telepathic advice. I share my resources and cook for my friends. I reach out to people to let them know I care. I give holiday gifts. I give birthday gifts. I give gifts all the time, just because. I give big hugs. I practice compassion all the days of my life. I always react with love.
When I do deliberately decide to go on a bender and party my ass off, I never feel sick the next day. I always stay conscious. I approach life evenly and calmly. I always let what I want come to me. I accept gifts and take no action.
I haven't had a setback in 20 years. I am so deeply in love with myself. I would date myself if I could.
Also, I maintain my perfect health with herbal remedies, oils, and I use food as medicine.
In 2015 I finally lost that 20 pounds, made that $90,000 and let myself be the person I want to be. I am comfortable with performing in front of a live audience, and frequently collaborate with musicians who play behind me as I transfix my captive admirers.
Life became infinitely better for me in 2015, because I decided to
and I just relax all day every day
and count silently in my head, keeping my mind and thoughts off "this world."
Since I just keep feeling better and better, life keeps giving me solutions. I am finally solved.
10 hours later... Since I wrote this, I turned my phone back on to 64 texts. Checked my email and my mom had emailed me asking to do lunch. I changed my minutes allowed on email/FB/twitter to 10 minutes and that definitely got me out of my inbox and away from fb stalker-ville.
And I went to the gym and felt much better about life. I counted to 5900 and felt much better about life. I meditated and felt much better about life. I had some epiphanies in the shower and felt much better in life (I always practice presence when I'm feeling bad, because I want something. But when I try practicing it when I already feel good, it's so much better/more powerful. I don't usually milk the feeling of feeling good because I get sucked into thinking about the thing that made me feel good. But instead of thinking about what made me feel good, I should just let myself feel good. The more I encourage and focus on and pay attention to moments when I feel good, the more I will experience them).
I didn't go to the liquor store on the way home (not that it matters!!!!) . I feel good about myself today. I can't give you any resolutions for 2015 (although "relax" is definitely still the theme), but the ones I used today worked really well. I declare I already am the perfect version of myself.

Tuesday Tips: 7 Paths Back to Right Now
What if we really could be happy with what we have? What if we didn't need to change our bodies, relationships, or bank accounts to feel good about our lives? What if we could just make peace with what is, and see that we already have everything we want? Here are a few ideas for entering that state of mind.
1. Count.
Hungover? Count to 1000. So angry you could hit someone? Count to 100. Want to have a good day? Count to 10,000. One of the reasons silent counting works so well is because it gives me some distance from worries, fears, and overthinking long enough to see I didn't need any of those thoughts in the first place.
2. Act like you're always in a music video.
I am perpetually collecting methods for being present, or "in the Now". Nothing makes me more aware and appreciative of my current reality than listening to some good jams and pretending I'm the star of the video!
3. Try this mantra: "All my wishes are coming true."
Any time either Kelly or I get something we wanted, we exclaim, "All my wishes are coming true!" Notice it, get more of it!
4. Try this mantra: "I've decided to feel good about that. It's working itself out."
Last Friday I got up late. Instead of beating myself up about it, I said to myself, "I've decided to feel good about getting up late. It's working itself out." Then Kelly and I had to rush to get ready for an 8 mile bike ride up north. Kelly asked me if I wanted to meditate before we left, and even though I felt rushed, I decided to sit. I said to myself, "I've decided to feel good about my timing. It's working itself out." By the time we finished meditating, our friend had texted asking if we wanted a ride. On a humid, 90 degree day?! Yes! All our wishes are coming true!
5. Feel your inner body.
Another technique for entering the present moment, "feeling your inner body" is a suggestion I snagged from Eckhart Tolle. The idea is that feeling your inner body helps you sense the infinite energy source from which you come, and it takes your attention away from overthinking.
6. Meditate.
As I ease through my third decade of being human, I come to realize again and again that the solution is always to meditate. There is no action I can take to make more money or lose weight. But I can sit down to meditate, remember my oneness with life, and know that everything is already perfect and in its place and I don't need to change a thing.
7. Breathe.
My current mantra/technique for not driving myself crazy is this: to each worry or concern that arises in my mind, I say, "I've decided to feel good about that. It's working itself out." Then once I've run out of worries to pivot from, I come back to the present. I say, "Breathe in and be here now. Breathe out and be here now." I do my best to be present, alert and connected to the Now, where everything is fun and there is nothing to worry about.
Tuesday Tips: 5 Reasons Everything Is Going To Be OK
I've been recording 3-10 minute video meditations for YouTube since September 2012. I started making them because my boss at the time told me I had a sexy voice, and I'd always wanted to record guided meditations.
Every day I receive sweet comments from people, telling me how my meditations have helped them with depression, anxiety, insomnia, and chronic pain. Some people watch them to relax, and some just like the reminder to breathe.
One day, a woman emailed me asking for a longer-form meditation, so she could relax more deeply without having to click the "Next" button, or have to listen to ads or an introduction every 4 minutes. And so Everything Is Going To Be OK was born!
Everything Is Going To Be OK is an 11 track compilation of my best meditations, edited to flow together seamlessly. You can purchase a physical CD which comes with a booklet of transcriptions, or download a zip file of 11 MP3s and one PDF. The hard copy is $20 and is available in the U.S. only. The digital download is $9 and is delivered instantly!

Check out the tips below to learn how the meditations can help you.
1. Stop doing, start listening.
Do you get wrapped up in feeling like you need to ACHIEVE and DO and SUCCEED? Me too! Every time I get wound so tight I could snap, I record a meditation that helps me remember what I know. I can relax! I can let it be easy! I can let it come to me! "You Do Not Have to Care" is a good track for opening up to receiving.
2. Overthinking something?
Listen to track two, "Everything Is Going To Be OK." It explains the power of your thoughts, and how to let go of the ones you don't need.
3. Feel safe and secure.
If you crave financial security or the safety of a lover's arms, listen to "Be One With Life." It will help you see that the only true security comes from uniting with the flow of life, not from money or relationships or things.
4. Just breathe.
When I start feeling lack, like, "I need money!" I remember that my breath is the only abundance I need. Fortunes come and go, health goes up and down, but as long as you're breathing, you have everything you truly need. Life takes care of the birds in the sky and the plants on the ground, so why wouldn't it take care of you too? Place your focus on your breath and feel more abundant with each inhalation. "Your Abundance Is Your Breath" and "Conscious Breathing" are perfect reminders of how blessed you already are.
5. Be in the Now.
Every one of these meditations will help you become more present. In the Now, everything is fun and there's nothing to worry about. In the Now, the solution is right in front of you. In the Now, you feel loved and connected to life. In the Now, life is good!
I promise these meditations will help you relax and feel more centered. Whether you need a mood boost, or some help dealing with your problems, I can guide you back to that place where you feel happy, loved and at ease. Whatever is going on in your life, know that everything really is going to be ok.

I have a 2004 Trek 4300 used and it has a Alpha SL aluminum frame that they boast about. But for someone not experienced with frames, what is the significance of Alpha SL Alum. as opposed to Diply-Doo-Da Aluminum if you see what I mean.
I have a feeling the alpha has something to do with sterio-chemistry.
metallurgically, "alpha" means one of the phases present in the solid
state. e.g. "alpha brass". this is opposed to "alpha/beta brass" which
has two phases present.
I have experience in some metals calssifications, but saying a frame has Alpha SL Alum is like speaking a foreign language to me.
Looks like a gimmick for a high tech way of saying 6061 aluminum.
How long does this frame usually last under normal intermediate trail riding conditions (no jumps just bumps)? Im swapping out components and dont want to spend too much if the frame wont last.
Should I be concerned about the scruffs and scrapes under the frame near the BB-Shell? (I've filed them smooth.)

exposing the two problems hoping for your answer:
1) I want to list in each row of a combobox names and names for doctors. I managed to do so only for names (or names only), but not both. This is what I should change:
/ / from the form where I make a combobox called the Database class that contains the functions (I think that goes well)
The query to return the names of the doctors is simple (just add nome_medico after SELECT), but as I change the function to put your name and surname in the same row?Code:Database db = new Database (); Public Vector doctor; ..... Medical db.elenco_medicine = (); for (int i = 0; i <medico.size (); i + +) ( Combo_dottori.addItem (medico.get (i));) / / This is the function in class Database Elenco_medicine Vector () ( Vector res = new Vector (); ris.add ( "empty"); String q = null; String error = start (); q = "SELECT cognome_medical FROM doctor"; try ( Statement st = connection.createStatement (); ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery (q); if (rs.isBeforeFirst ()) ( ris.removeAllElements (); ris.add ( "All the doctors");) else ( ris.removeAllElements (); ris.add (error); ) while (rs.next ()) ( ris.add (rs.getString ( "cognome_medical")); )) Catch (Exception e) ( / / SE generates a SqlException RETURNED TO THE CLIENT TO INFORM ris.removeAllElements (); ris.add (e.ToString ()); ) return res; )
2) I need to set some text as jTextField the results of a query ... I need practice in the consideration for the queries in the combobox ke do so:
I hope to be clear..... otherwise ask...Code:for (int i = 0; i <medico.size (); i + +) ( Combo_dottori.addItem (medico.get (i));)

Updating the Canopy application¶
If Canopy has write access to the installation folder (see below), then it can update itself in place, so that you do not need to download and run an installer again. Updates are automatically downloaded in the background, and then made available for you to install when desired.
You can check for the availability of updates by going to Help -> Canopy Application Updates.... This displays the About Box shown below:
Canopy automatically checks for updates hourly; you can also force a check by clicking the 'Check for and download updates' button. When an update is available, Canopy displays the current installed version number and the latest version available as shown here:
In this case the dialog is showing that both versions are 0.9.0 but that a newer build is available (580 to 581).
The 'Install and Relaunch' button will immediately apply the update, close Canopy, and relaunch it. Please save any file changes in the editor before you select this option (also, the GUI will prompt you to do so).
The "Install on Quit" button lets you specify that you want the update to be installed when you quit Canopy, so that it will only take effect the next time you start.
If you select "Not now", then you will keep the current version and no changes will be made. You can return to this dialog to do the update at any later time.
Note: The update mechanism described here only updates the Canopy GUI application itself. It does not modify your Python User Python Environment. This ensures that GUI updates will not impact any code you are running. To update your User Python Environment, please see Package Manager (v2)
Write Access (Permissions)¶
If there is a Canopy update available, but you do not have write access to the Canopy installation folder, then a message in the About Box will inform you of this. Check with your local administrators about how to perform the update.
Administrators: Usually the same access rights are required to perform a Canopy update as to do the original installation. In particular, on a Windows system with User Access Control enabled, even an administrator may need to run Canopy from a Command Prompt with elevated privileges, in order to do the update. See "Windows: On some systems, admin users cannot immediately install for all users" in the Enthought Support Knowledge Base.

Watch The Chevy Ad That Was Too Racy For The American Family Association
The American Family Association put out an email alert this weekend announcing that the group's members had successfully pressured Chevrolet to pull a Silverado commercial that had aired during a couple of NFL games. We were of course curious to view the ad that the AFA described as "profanity-laced" and including "gutter language."
No, the AFA was not upset by the ad's reliance on tired gender stereotypes. Instead, the group explained in a previous alert, they objected that "the announcer forcefully declares some tailgating activities should 'be damned.'"
"Chevrolet's use of profanity is irresponsible and offensive. It is extremely destructive and damaging to impressionable children viewing the commercial," they added.
Because we all know that the AFA will not abide by irresponsible and offensive content on the airwaves!

Re: Discover initial CLI?[ Edited ]

Did your 6th statement just hit? Mine hit a few weeks ago but my actual 6 month isn't till the 22nd (Account Open)
I'm also hoping to get mine increased. Just a student but with a 500CL my utilization can get hit hard with even somewhat simple purchases. I'd like to raise mine up to 1500. From my understanding Discover is Soft Pull online and on phone unless they deny the request. Then they will ask permission first before hard pull. I also hear they counter offer usually so your chances are probably quite good.
I'd pay down the utilization is my only recommendation.

A few welcome changes to our website
We are upgrading our shopping cart this Memorial Day weekend in order to make it easier to use with tablets and mobile devices. Though we are sad to lose that mid-90s quirky feel of the old site, we decided for the sake of functionality it was time to move forward. All of the coffee resources and information are still available, and with the new navigation articles and media will be easier to find. We also like that our new cart offers smarter shopping functions for filtering as well as comparing products and coffees. Since quite a few of you have asked us, we are also happy to announce that we will now be accepting PayPal as a payment option. Some of the pages, including the homepage, coffee shopping filters, and extended reviews are a work in progress and we will continue to improve. We hope that you like shopping and browsing the new site! As always we welcome your questions and feedback.
Here's a few changes we are pretty exicted about:
-The new menu bar at the top of the screen will give you access to any bit of information, coffee or product on our site.
-It will look a lot better on your phone or tablet.

A screening for plasma cholesterol levels was conducted at six sites in the New York metropolitan area and involved hospitals, health professionals, paraprofessionals, media experts, and instruments that provided cholesterol levels rapidly. During the five days of the testing, over 12 000 participants were screened. Because the program was limited to customary working hours and because of self-selection of participants, the subjects were probably an unusually health-conscious group as evidenced by the low prevalence of cigarette smokers (11%). Nevertheless, 12% were at moderate risk and 16% were at high risk for coronary heart disease. Approximately half of the population reported never having had their cholesterol levels tested, and over 40% had no idea what levels were optimal. A subsample of patients at risk was screened by telephone survey. In the majority of cases, when a patient's physician was consulted for advice, no action was recommended. Our results demonstrate that a large population screening can be implemented, that at least certain segments of the public will respond to such a program, and that educational efforts must be directed at both the public at large and physicians.

ABC will mark the occasion with a two-hour special at 8 p.m., featuring highlights of the show's past four decades.
The real thing will take over at 10 p.m. and go into the wee hours. The headline act will be a performance in Times Square by Lady Gaga.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Warriors reserve Richard Jefferson pulled himself out of Golden State's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night after straining his right calf.
The Warriors say he's not expected to return to the game.

Camp to Help Kids Shape Their Jewish Identity
Luebke, Nancy, Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, IL)
Byline: Nancy Luebke Daily Herald Correspondent
All the fun of the camp experience with the values and beliefs of their temple will be combined for the first time this year for Jewish children heading off to Camp JRF in Ingleside, Ill.
This is the first summer for Camp JRF, short for Jewish Reconstructionist Federation. The camp offers a program based on the Reconstructionist approach to Jewish life that integrates a deep respect for traditional Judaism with contemporary insights.
Campers will have an opportunity to form relationships with new friends and Judaism, while swimming, singing, canoeing, playing tennis or hiking.
According to Elliot Zashin, registration coordinator for Camp JRF, one of the reasons the camp is located in Illinois is because of the three growing Chicago area congregations that are affiliated with the Reconstructionist movement. Those congregations are Beth Shalom in Naperville, JRC in Evanston and Shir Hadash in Deerfield.
Children from three families who are members of Congregation Beth Shalom in Naperville will be among the first campers to attend the new summer camp. Peter Temes, whose 11-year-old daughter is attending summer camp for the first time in her life, said that Camp JRF represents an opportunity for his daughter to be in a Jewish cultural environment while she has fun at summer camp.
"We're originally from the east coast, now living in Naperville. As a Jewish family, we have a sense of being in the minority here that we haven't felt in other places that we've lived," Temes said. "At camp, my daughter will be one among many instead of one among few."
Temes said he wasn't looking for a religious camp for his daughter to attend; the cultural experience was more important. At Camp JRF, the children will explore Jewish tradition and shape their own Jewish identity through the arts and activities that include studying text about being part of a group, searching for spirituality, utilizing Hebrew vocabulary, connecting to other ideas of community celebrating diversity, recognizing their relationship to the land and people of Israel, mending their portion of the world and by striving to become menschen - those with admirable character and surpassing decency. …

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
I'm 29 years old and have suffered from acne for a long time. I have tried everything! I mean everything! I just found and tried this soap a few months ago and have never been so happy with a product. It has cleared my skin up 99%. I only use this now and have never been so confident and happy with my skin. I have been going around telling everyone about it. I can't believe I have spent so much money over the years and all along I could have been paying only 5 bucks for this soap. Try it!!! You will love it!!
Great for the scalp if you have dandruff. It also helped when I had low thyroid induced rosacea. But once I started iodine/iodoral, the rosacea disappeared.
nice texture

Sulfur is not good for skin in long run
Posted by 5264646845765177128 on May 19, 2016
I read articles about sulfur and soap are not good for skin. I would advice people do more research before purchase though it's cheap. I stop using it as facial cleanser. I used as my makeup brush cleanser which clean my brush like dream so I'm still happy with it.

Concatenate files and generate a source map file.
Concatenate files and generate a source map file.
This plugin requires Grunt
If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
npm install grunt-concat-sourcemap --save-dev
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named
concat_sourcemap to the data object passed into
gruntinitConfig concat_sourcemap: options: // Task-specific options go here. your_target: // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
Default value:
The value that will be used to separate lines when generating sourceMappings.
Default value:
An optional root for all relative URLs in the source map.
Default value:
An optional flag that tells the source map generator whether or not to include all original sources in the map.
sourcesContent is an array of contents of the original source files. This is useful if you don't want to have to upload original src files to the webserver that will be serving the sourcemap.
Default value:
undefined - Do not apply any processing to the source files
function(src, filepath) - Process source files using the given function, called once for each file. The returned value will be used as source code.
In this example, it will concatenate the two specified source files(in order), joining files with default separator(
grunt.util.linefeed) and writing the output to
dest/default_options.js and
gruntinitConfig concat_sourcemap: options: {} target: files: 'dest/default_options.js': 'src/a.js' 'src/b.js'
When using
sourcesContent: true the resulting sourceMap will include all the contents of each source file inside of an array called
Given sample files as follows:
"file a - line 1";"file a - line 2";
src/b.js with contents as follows:
"file b - line 1";
and the following Grunt configuration target for
gruntinitConfig concat_sourcemap: options: sourcesContent: true target: files: 'dest/default_options.js': 'src/a.js' 'src/b.js'
You would see a resulting
dest/default_options.js.map that included
sourcesContent like so:
gruntinitConfig concat_sourcemap: options: return '(function(){' + src + '})();'; target: files: 'dest/closureWrapped.js': 'src/a.js' 'src/b.js'
If input file has source map linkage(e.g.
//# sourceMappingURL=.*), grunt-concat-sourcemap will read the source map and merge it into the new one. No option is needed.
The setting is to consume 2 input files generated by grunt-contrib-coffee with
sourceMap: true option.
grunt.initConfig({ coffee: { options: { sourceMap: true }, target: { files: { 'src/file1.js': ['src/file1.coffee'], 'src/file2.js': ['src/file2.coffee'], } } }, concat_sourcemap: { target: { files: { 'dest/concatenated.js': ['src/*.js'] } } }})
The source map generated by grunt-concat-sourcemap is as below. It refers to original coffee script source files.
{ "version": 3, "file": "concatenated.js", "sources": [ "src/file1.coffee", "src/file2.coffee" ], "names": [], "mappings": "AAAA;AAAA;AAAA;AAAA;AAAA;AAAA;A;ACAA;AAAA;AAAA;AAAA;AAAA;AAAA;A"}
In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.

Sarah Lawrence College President Karen Lawrence and Board of Trustees Chair John A. Hill have announced that Jerrilynn D. Dodds will become the next Dean of the College, assuming responsibilities on August 1, 2009.
"This is a critical position for the College as we collectively write the next chapter in our history," said President Lawrence, who is completing her second year as head of the 80-year-old, co-educational college of the liberal arts and sciences.
Professor Dodds comes to Sarah Lawrence with a strong academic and administrative background. Since 2007, she has been distinguished professor and senior faculty advisor to the provost for undergraduate education at the City College of New York, where she had previously been chairman of the department of architecture. She holds teaching appointments in the School of Architecture (also having served as coordinator of history and theory from 1996-2007) and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. She has also taught at MIT, Columbia, Harvard, University of North Carolina, and the University of Minnesota. Her academic focus has been on Medieval, Islamic, and Hispanic art and architecture. She earned her B.A. from Barnard, studied at the University of Paris and University of Florence, and received a Ph.D. from Harvard University.
A recipient of numerous research grants and fellowships, Dodds has been named a teacher of the year at City College and received several awards recognizing her professional work. She has written, edited, and contributed to numerous books and scholarly articles. In addition, she has written and directed films in her areas of expertise—including award-winning projects for the Metropolitan Museum of Art—and curated exhibitions at the Met, the Newark Museum, and the Jewish Museum, among others. She has consulted for numerous groups and served on the board of architectural and art history organizations.
In choosing Dodds, President Lawrence stated that as much as her professional and academic accomplishments, she and the search committee have been impressed with Jerrilynn Dodds' dedication to undergraduate teaching, the focus of much of her current role at City College. Among her responsibilities have been areas of crucial importance to the Sarah Lawrence pedagogy, including writing across the disciplines and faculty advising.
Dodds follows Pauline Watts, an alumna and long-time member of the Sarah Lawrence faculty who served as dean since the retirement of Dean Emerita Barbara Kaplan in 2007. Kaplan had served as dean for 22 years.
"The faculty is delighted with the selection of Jerrilynn Dodds," said Rose Anne Thom, chair of the Dean's search committee and a member of the dance faculty. "We were most impressed by her passionate commitment to the educational values that distinguish our college. She brings both a seasoned background and a fresh perspective to Sarah Lawrence based on her more than 30 years in higher education."

Autocratic describes a way of ruling, but not in a nice way. An autocratic leader is one who rules with an iron fist; in other words — someone with the behavior of a dictator.
Autocratic rulers don't tend to be popular. They use fear and control to gain total power over their people. Often, their country is left destitute as a result of their actions. The word autocratic is often used to describe the head of a country, but really, anyone who is a despotic leader can qualify — including the boss who threatens to fire you if you refuse to polish his shoes and work every holiday.
Definitions of autocratic
adj characteristic of an absolute ruler or absolute rule; having absolute sovereignty
"autocratic government"
- Synonyms:
- authoritarian, despotic, dictatorial, tyrannic, tyrannical
not in agreement with or according to democratic doctrine or practice or ideals
adj offensively self-assured or given to exercising usually unwarranted power

Jesus in (Jewish) Religious Schools
Rebecca Goodman 1257 days ago, Comments (0), (Detail)
An interesting article stemming from a religious school assignment where the students researched famous Jews. One chose Jesus. How does the Jewish teacher respond? How much religion should be included in our supplemental schools? Note: Jesus was born a Jew and died a Jew. During Jesus's lifetime Christianity did not exist. Paul, a disciple of Jesus, became the leader of Jesus' followers after his death, and he was the founder of Christianity as a separate religion.

Hunters and anglers rally for official who killed lion
Though there have been hints that both of those members of the California Assembly may start a recall vote on Richards as Commissioner, no one has actually stepped up to the plate on the issue. Huffman said Wednesday he no longer is the "focal point" of the movement to oust Richards. But Hueso's spokeswoman, Paola Avila, said the Assemblyman may decide to pursue a motion in the Assembly to force Richards out.
Both the Assembly and the Senate must by majority vote recall Richards. The backers would have to show that he did something immoral, unethical or illegal. He's a legally appointed citizen of California who has broken no laws or violated any ethics. What would their reason for dismissal be? That he legally hunted a mountain lion in another state and posed for pictures with it? Is that reason enough to remove him as a commissioner?
Richards' critics didn't need much of an opening to find a reason to attack him, but he granted them a barn door-sized opening, and they're marching in.
Richards, 59, a successful real estate broker who lives in Upland, has been an advocate of hunting and fishing issues since being appointed as a Commissioner in 2008. He was an outspoken critic of Gov. Arnold Scwarzenegger and his ties to the environmental community. He opposed the Marine Life Protection Act because he and many others felt it was a corrupt process engineered by environmental extremists who, by using the extremist-backed funds from the Resource Legacy Fund Foundation, commandeered the Department of Fish and Game and the process of making regulations such as ocean fishing closures.
Richards has refused to comment on the latest issue.
But others are chiming in regularly.
The latest is from Jennifer Fearing, a chief economist and California senior state director of the Humane Society of the United States. Fearing also is on the Board of Directors of CalTIP, the state's program for rewarding those who turn in poachers or polluters. The Humane Society has donated thousands of dollars to the Department of Fish and Game for its canine unit used by game wardens and for reward money in poaching cases. Fearing told KGTV Channel 10 that she's not surprised animal-rights activists are on the war path against Richards.
"No big surprise they would be revolted at the image of our top Fish and Game Commissioner trophy hunting and taking a mountain lion with a big smile on his face," Fearing said. "It's sort of equivalent to a drug czar heading off to a foreign country where drug use is legal, participating and posting pictures on the internet."
The Mountain Lion Foundation also has checked in. That was the organization that spearheaded the move to get Proposition 117 on the ballot in 1990. Prop. 117 led to the mountain lion, even though it is not endangered or threatened in any way, getting full protection in California. The politically-fueled, but not scientifically-backed proposition also led to a yearly land grab by the state as the proposition provided for grants of $30 million a year to purchase land that was considered "mountain lion habitat."
"Californians trust the Fish and Game Department and their commissioners to be protectors of wildlife resources and this person is showing he doesn't really care," Mountain Lion Foundation Tim Dunbar told Channel 10.
But just as he's getting ripped by protectionists, Richards is getting defended by those who believe in hunting as a management tool for game managers.
"What Mr. Richards did in Idaho is neither illegal nor immoral," California Outdoor Heritage Alliance Bill Gaines told Channel 10. "The legal hunting activity in Idaho of mountain lions has no bearing on his ability to act as a Fish and Game Commissioner in the best interest of California's wildlife resource."

If you like bikes, and you're looking for a theme camp, consider making "Playa Bike Repair" your home!
We are located at 9:00 Plaza, just a few blocks from the esplanade. The plaza is filled mostly with service camps like Pancake Playhouse, Ice 9, and Medical. It's relatively quiet but great music is only a few minutes away, at Duck Pond and District.
Our Philosophy is simple. If a bike is broken, we will show the owner how to fix it. Afterward, we ask the owner to help the next person. We strive to create a caring, nurturing environment for people needing their bikes repaired, and a comfortable, friendly place for Burning Man mechanics.
Many of our campmates are mechanics. Other mechanics come from other camps, and simply drop in for a few hours each day. We provide bike stands, shade, and tools. Most camp members love bicycles, ride or race, and have some mechanical aptitude. Others simply love our camp, and the service we provide; there's nothing at Burning Man more ubiquitous than a bicycle.
• Several art bikes
• 12,000 square feet of shade with mesh floor (to catch MOOP).
• Commercial kitchen with 10 burners, 2 ovens, 3-basin sink.
• Catered Dinners (Thursday thru Saturday)
• Hot Showers
• 1500 gallons of fresh water
• 500 gallon gray water tank
• 4 JBL EON speakers
• Arguably the best music on the Playa
• Electricity (25 Kw Diesel Generator)
We ask campmates to commit to working four 4-hour shifts (16 hours total) during the week.
Many of us help out before and/or after Burning Man too (with set up, tear down, cleaning bikes, packing trucks, etc).
We have a commercial kitchen, built into one of our 48' semi-trailers. Campmates can use the kitchen to prepare anything, anytime. The camp provides four simple but delicious dinners, Wednesday through Saturday at Sunset (approximately 7:30 pm).
Other vital info
Our campsite at Burning Man is spacious, provided everyone carpools and drives a reasonable vehicle. Most of us arrive via car, pick up truck, or cargo van. We will set up one 60x100 shade tent; if you put your backpacking tent underneath, you'll be comfortable. We don't really have space for mobile homes, RV's, or trailers (other than trailers we use to haul bikes).
Playa Bike Repair - Camp Membership Fee - Before June 1
$225 Bona fide mechanic, living on bike shop wages
$275 Basic Membership without meals
$325 Membership + Meals (Dinner Wed through Sat)
$425 Membership + Meals (Dinner Wed through Sat) + loaner bicycle

If you pay after June 1, add $50.00 to above.
Tax info:
If you buy a membership that includes meals then $60 (of the total) is for meals, thus taxable. 7.725% NV sales tax on $60 is $4.35. For simplicity, PBR pays the $4.35.

Sundance Institute to Honor Holly Hunter
by Wendy Mitchell
(indieWIRE: 12.12.02) -- Actress Holly Hunter will be the 2003 recipient of
the Sundance Institute Tribute to Independent Vision Award, the institute
announced yesterday. During the 2003 Sundance Film Festival (January 16-26),
the fest will host a tribute to Hunter on January 21 at the Egyptian Theatre

Another fire in Prince George's County turned deadly. Firefighters responded to an abandoned house on Buck Lane in Upper Marlboro Wednesday morning. After putting out the fire, they found a person burned inside.
It would have been hard to know someone called the old boarded-up brick bungalow a home. There was no electricity, gas, or water. But a while back a man peeled back a sheet of plywood, moved in and started making friends at local businesses.
"He's been hanging here in our area getting ice cream, some other stuff," says Amir Sheikh, a manager at a gas station nearby.
"He was a good guy and he came around one day and asked for clothes. I went home and bagged up a lot of clothes," says Eugene Billuk, a mechanic.
Billuk says he gave the man the clothes yesterday. Tonight he fears the man whose name he never knew die from a fire he likely kindled to stay warm. Firefighters got the call for the house fire after 2 a.m. When they got to the structure tucked into an Upper Marlboro industrial zone, it was too late.
"Fire was showing from every vent that was possible, literally floor to ceiling," says Prince George's County Fire Chief Marc Bashoor.
It wasn't until firefighters went inside to hose down a few hotspots that they found the body. It was burned beyond recognition. Officially, investigators and the fire chief say they don't know who it is or if what happened was accidental. They hope to learn something from an autopsy. They did, however, find clues in the rubble.
"There is evidence there this morning that someone had been staying in the rear of the home," says Bashoor.
It's the latest in a bizarre outbreak of fires in the county, six dwelling blazes since Saturday. Most are related to heat or heating. It's also the second fatal fire this week.

'Judge Dredd' is based on long-running British comic
The character Judge Dredd was created in 1977 by writer John Wagner, along with artist Carlos Ezquerra, working with editor Pat Mills. The over-the-top character first appeared in the second issue of "2000 A.D.," a British science-fiction anthology comic.
Pocket Books has been rereleasing the "Judge Dredd" stories in order in the "Judge Dredd Complete Case Files." Five volumes have been released so far. In a hyper-violent East Coast of the future, Judge Dredd patrols Mega-City One as one of the elite cadre of judges who serve as judge, jury and sometime executioner for the city. The city is surrounded radioactive wastelands and is filled with criminals and mutants.
"Dredd, whose face is always obscured by his helmet in the comic, is played by Karl Urban in the new film "Dredd 3D," opening this weekend in theaters.
Dredd returns to American comics in a new "Judge Dredd" series from IDW Publshing this November.
"Judge Dredd turns 35 this year, and it's great to help him celebrate his birthday like this," said Chris Ryall, IDW's chief creative officer/editor in chief, in a news release. "It was great to meet up with the 2000 AD team at the recent London Super Con and cement the partnership on this one. My interest in Judge Dredd far predates my tenure at IDW, so it's a real drokkin' pleasure for us to now be the first American publisher in 18 years to create new tales of Dredd."
Dredd's stories continue in the United Kingdom in "2000 AD" and "Judge Dredd Megazine." The IDW stories will be written by Duane Swierczynski with art by Nelson Daniel.
"What's more," Ryall said, "while Nelson will be running point on the main story's art and colors, we'll also be doing backup stories in each issue that are tied to the ongoing storyline and that will be illustrated by some big-name talents as well. Folks like Paul Gulacy, Jim Starlin, and many others. Add to that covers by people like Ashley Wood, Carlos Ezquerra, Zach Howard, Whilce Portacio, and so many others, and there will be lots of exciting new artistic interpretations of Dredd to come."
IDW Publishing also plans to offer new editions of classic Judge Dredd material. "Judge Dredd: The Complete Brian Bolland" will reprint the artists' work in a black-and-white edition similar to how the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" Ultimate Collections from IDW presented the original stories of Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird in an oversize hardcover.
Following that, IDW plans to reprint the best Dredd stories in color as monthly comics.
Charlie Kirchoff will color Bolland's Judge Dredd material for the monthly comics. The ongoing 32-page comic series feature new color versions of artwork by Ezquerra and other artists.
"I first experienced Judge Dredd in the form of the Eagle Comics reprints from the early '80s, so it'll be fun to pay that forward and let a new generation of readers also experience that material in monthly color comics, albeit with the benefit of 21st century coloring and printing techniques," Ryall said in a news release.
