Reflections In Crystal
Young artist Bahar Oganer's exhibition, 'Crystal', has opened at Nişantaşı's Dirimart.
I first came across the name Bahar Oganer at her one-man show, 'Rüya' (Dream), at Dirimart in 2008. That acquaintance was later cemented in a joint exhibition, 'Plastic Tree Vol III', around this time last year. One of the prominent names in this year's Contemporary Istanbul, Oganer is now at Dirimart again with her second solo show, 'Crystal'.
Born in Ankara in 1980, Oganer is a graduate of the Painting Department of the Fine Arts Faculty of Izmir's Dokuz Eylül University and currently a graduate student at the same institution. So, everything is normal up to here. What goes beyond the normal is that nine of the artist's works on display at the gallery were already sold days before the opening. In other words, Oganer is one of the rising young stars of contemporary art in Turkey.
Working in acrylics on large rectangular canvases, Oganer's most outstanding characteristic is her clean, simple and refined painting technique. Each one of her canvases, which are so 'clean' as to be indistinguishable from machine workmanship, is a rainbow of color in the true sense of the word. Not only that but the viewer always sees what is happening in Oganer's paintings through the eyes of a young woman with her back turned. And that young woman, from her hair and clothes to what she sees and wears on her body, is none other than the painter herself. Through January 10.

I welcome discussion and debate on my blog posts and strongly encourage readers to participate in order to inform and enlighten.
While I once aimed to maintain a very liberal regime, and I still do at my sister blog Da Russophile, a recent influx of trolls has made this this an unsustainable arrangement. The same rules apply to my Facebook Page. Without further ado:
- You cannot insult the blog author. This includes, but is not limited to: (a) Ad hominem attacks on or projections about the author's lifestyle; character; sex life; personality; mental health or the lack of it; IQ; employment status; life history; alpha / beta, winner / loser status in life; (b) Maintaining a consistently snide, rude, or condescending tone; (c) Slanderous accusations of any kind, including but not limited to: racism; sexism; homophobia; misogyny; sundry "hatred"; and various other PC canards.
- Ad hominem attacks on other commentators are, strictly speaking, not allowed either. While it is OK to call an argument an "idiotic proposition" (be sure to back that up with evidence, though!), calling its proponent an "idiot" may be inaccurate and downright inappropriate. In that case you will get warned, though bigger sanctions will not be as immediately forthcoming as in (1). Sometimes however an idiot really is an idiot, in which case I will refrain from enforcing this rule. So use your better judgement. Overall, it's safer to avoid ad homs entirely.
- No trolling. This includes, but is not limited to, consistently denying a majority of the basic tenets of AKarlin: Human biodiversity; Game; Limits to growth (of which peak oil is a subset); Intelligence theory; Anthropogenic global warming; Low-carb and 4HW-compliant lifestyle. I can understand and accept disagreement on a couple of these but if you make a habit of dissing most or all components of my worldview, post after post, I will start to wonder: Why you are here in the first place? And then I will take appropriate action.
- No spamming. Instant ban for spammers. Death to spammers.
- For new commentators who fall afoul of (1) there is one warning, and if you don't mend your ways, you're out. Enforcement of most of these other rules is laxer but not any less real for that. Established commentators in good standing get more leeway but should not think they can abuse it.
- There is a "reply" option after every individual comment. This feature is called "threaded comments" and it exists for a reason. It makes long conversations much easier to follow. Use it.
- It is impolite to post off-topic messages on blog posts. I reserve the right to delete, truncate, or otherwise ignore these comments. Persistent abuse of this rule will lead to warnings and bans.
- Do not monopolize or hijack a conversation.
- While I might detest the PC movement, that does not mean you are free to spout crude ethnonationalist propaganda (including White nationalist). That includes Holocaust denial which apart from being factually wrong and stupid also carries real legal implications in some countries. Extreme ideologues, wingnuts, and SIF's (Single Issue Fanatics) of whatever flavor, especially those who can't engage in civil discussion, will not enjoy a long stay here either.
- This includes no overt racism. What is the difference between racism and race realism? Half Sigma: "The race realist understands The g Factor, The Bell Curve, and other works of scientific research. The racist apparently thinks that because Barack Obama is half black, it's impossible for him to have a significantly higher g than John McCain."
- Needless to say I have the right to interpret these rules any way I wish. Judgments are final and not subject to appeal. This is my blog and that means I can ban you just because I don't like you for whatever reason or none. There have been no such cases and I don't expect there will be as I am a reasonable person and it's difficult for civil, decent people to run afoul of the rules here.
What is allowed and/or encouraged:
- Criticism. So long as it is civil, and preferably grounded in facts, statistics, and logic. It is in fact encouraged.
- You don't need approval to comment. Unfortunately, the flip side is that sometimes, the Akismet spam filter makes the wrong diagnosis – especially if your comment really does sound spammy. In these cases, I will probably eventually stumble upon your comment in the spam folder and approve it. That said, I can make no guarantees.
- Swearing is allowed as we all sometimes need to make a strong point that can't quite be adequately conveyed within the boundaries of "decent" language. That said, I do encourage you to rise to the challenge.
- All ideologies. Conservatives, liberals, nationalists, socialists, Communists, libertarians, anarchists, Greens, and fascists are all welcome, so long as they follow the rules (including the one about not being extremists or wingnuts).

| Eren x Reader |
"You should tell Eren you like him." Jean said, stuffing his face with food. You almost choked on your own food, before glaring at him.
"It's not as easy as you think." you huffed.
"Or I can tell him?" Jean smirked, letting out a chuckle. You punched his arm, "Not in a million years." He just rubbed where you hit him, pouting.
"What if he doesn't like me?" you asked yourself.
"Who doesn't like you?" You heard a deep voice behind you. Your eyes widen, and you turned to see Eren there smiling.
"O-oh, nothing, no one!" you tried to say. You heard Jean let out a small chuckle, receiving a stomp on the foot. He groaned in pain, and Eren just looked at you guys weird.
"Oh right! (Y/N), can we talk?" Eren asked, a little nervous. You nodded and stood on your feet, following him. Once you guys were out of the dining hall, he sighed, looking a little worried.
"Is something wrong?" you asked, looking at his eyes. Eren blushed just as you looked at him.
"U-uh well, I-I just wanted to tell you t-that I li-" he paused, trying to compose himself. You giggled at his actions, his cheeks getting even more red than before. You waited for him to go on, but he was looking kind of hesitant.
He shut his eyes, and almost screamed, "(Y/N) I LIKE YOU, A LOT. I'VE BEEN WANTING TO TELL YOU SINCE WE FIRST TALKED TO EACH OTHER, BUT I WAS TOO SCARED YOU WEREN'T GOING TO LIKE ME BACK."
You had a stunned expression, not a muscle moved. He took this the wrong way, and had a hurt expression.
"It was worth a try." he muttered. He turned around and started walking away. He got stopped by you hugging him from behind.
"Eren, I like you too." you finally said something. He gasped, he never thought you would like him back. He got a grab of your hands, and turned around to face you. You both looked into each others eyes, and he slowly leaned in. But was soon interrupted,
"Oi! EREN, ARMIN IS LOOKING FOR YOU." Connie almost ripped your ear drums. Eren side eyed Connie, ready to pounce him. Connie soon apologized and ran off. You giggled, his hands still holding yours. This time he didn't give you time to register. He crashed his lips to yours, giving you a passionate kiss. You both separated, blushing.
On the other side of the door was Sasha, Jean, Marco, Betholdt, and Reiner.
"Finally, they've liked each other for ages."
"They're so cute together!"
"Cadets, may I ask why you all are at the door."
Lance Corporal ain't taking none of yo shit.

College Hockey:Nebraska-Omaha assistant Johnson decides to 'go in another direction'
Nebraska-Omaha assistant coach Steve Johnson will not be back behind the bench for the 2013-14 season.
"Steve had decided to go in another direction with his career and we wish him the best of luck," said UNO head coach Dean Blais in a statement. "He was a valuable member of our staff and did a great job working with our players. We'll begin looking for another high-quality coach to fill that position immediately."
Johnson served as an assistant for the Mavericks for just last season after two years as an assistant at St. Cloud State.
"I really enjoyed working with the great group of student-athletes we had," added Johnson. "It also was fun to work with the excellent coaching staff at UNO. I will look forward to following the team. I think they've got a chance to do some great things next year."

Let's say I have a View that is bound to ViewModel A which has an observable collection Customers.
An advantage of this MVVM pattern is that I can also bind the View to ViewModel B which fills it with different data.
But what if in my View converter Converters to display my customers, e.g. I have a "ContractToCustomerConverter" that accepts a Contract and returns the appropriate Customer to be displayed.
The problem with this is that the converter exists outside the MVVM pattern and thus doesn't know that my ViewModel has another source for customers.
- is there a way for the View to pass the ViewModel into the Converter so that it participates in the decoupling that the MVVM pattern provides?
- is there a way for me to somehow include the Converter in my ViewModel so that the converter uses the current dependencies which ViewModel has available?
- or are converters just glorified code-behind and thus not used in the MVVM pattern, so if you are using MVVM then you just create your own "converters" (methods on your ViewModel class) which return things like Image objects, Visibility objects, FlowDocuments, etc. to be used on the view, instead of using converters at all?
(I came upon these questions after seeing the use of Converters in the WPF demo application that comes with the MVVM Template Toolkit download, see the "Messenger Sample" after unpacking it.)

Photography: drawing with light
Pet owners are a different breed of people. They have a softness in their heart, when they see animals, it evokes an emotion, a joy. Pet owners love to talk about their animals. Wouldn't it be nice if they could "capture" their feelings they have for their animals in a photo?
They say "A picture is worth a thousand words" refering to the idea that complex stories can be described with just a single still image, or that an image may be more influential than a substantial amount of text. It also aptly characterizes the goals of visualization where large amounts of data must be absorbed quickly.
There are a few local photographers that work with pet owners and pets. Please check them out should you have the passion to have your pet photographed

When LeBron James announced his return home to Northeast Ohio and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday, residents took a step back and enjoyed the moment.
The On Tap Grille and Bar, on state Route 18 in Montville Township, saw a rush of customers who left work to take in the atmosphere circling James' big decision.
Customers like Adam Geisler, of Medina.
"I had to leave work and grab a beer," he said. "I cannot wait for his first introduction at The Q. It is going to give me chills."
Northeast Ohioans have been dissecting every rumor and consuming every credible — and not so credible — report about James' possible return to the Cavaliers.
James finally broke the silence with an essay released Friday by Sports Illustrated.
"My presence can make a difference in Miami, but I think it can mean more where I'm from," James wrote. "In Northeast Ohio, nothing is given. Everything is earned. You work for what you have,"
Stephen Hume of Medina echoed James' sentiment.
"The reason I moved back home was because of that," he said. "It is great for the community, for what we do and for who we are."
But not everyone is thrilled with the return of The King.
"It is good that he is back," Brunswick resident Cory Merrero said. "He is a good player, but I still think he is a traitor.
"He claimed that Cleveland was home, but he wanted to go where he knew that he could win the next championship. That still hits home."
Eric Timura of Akron said he could "honestly care less."
"I feel like there are lot better things in Cleveland that we could be spending money on other than LeBron," he said.
James likely will sign a max contract with the Cavaliers in the coming weeks.
"There are amazing things in our future for sure," Hume said. "In sports, the fans are bigger than the team and LeBron, he is bigger than the fans."
"I think he is going to help us win some games, but I am still burnt up about four years ago."
Brian Hilberg, Medina Ward 1 councilman
"Honestly I hope he does well, but he could have stayed
in Miami. Hopefully he has grown up a bit. The whole decision thing he did — I still won't forgive him for that."
David Frazier, Wooster
"I think it's a great thing for the city of Cleveland. Why wouldn't it be good? He is our local champ."
Tony Rump, Medina
"I would still like him to make that extra commitment to the city of Cleveland that he didn't do the first time around. He hurt a lot of us,"
Travis Collings, Medina
"I said, 'Oh my God,' then I broke down in tears."
Mike Hogue, Medina

Rue du RivoliPosted by Linda under General
[10] Comments
The covered passage ways on Rue du Rivoli are full of shops but I like it best when the sun is shining.
The sun pouring through the columns on a very cold but sunny day.
This bike was outside the Hotel Meurice. I'm thinking that guests staying there can use this one and others.
A cafe with comfy chairs outside in the sun and red curtains behind.
I bet there is a really cool apartment behind this door with a fabulous view of the Tuleries Garden across the way.
A view of the pavement of Rue du Rivoli heading down towards the Louvre Museum.

Nice light and patterns today, Linda!
Wow what a lovely place to look around. Love the bike:-)
I will get there one day!
Love it – two of my favourite bookstores are on rue de Rivoli 🙂
The bike is great!
beautiful place. must be a very lovely spot for a romantic walk in the evening!
Lovely photos, as ever, Linda. Such happy memories when I drop in on your blog.
Wonderful stroll down this street. Thank you. I also enjoyed the hot chocolate at Angelina's (at least the photos, sigh…)
I always heave a sigh after visiting your blog. It looks so lovely and sunshiney and spring-like there. And then I look out the window and see 3 feet of snow and wind and dreary greyness. I do believe I'm in the wrong place.
A must stop is Angelina's !
Ah the rue du Rivoli! Now THIS is something I definitely remember from our 2001 visit…I have strolled along those very pavements you are showing and can even remember some of the shops…and the bus tour company where we departed for day trips in lovely air conditioned buses (it was blazing hot and humid)…and a shop selling very expensive enamel boxes…and of course the souvenir shops with all the tourist junk…and further down, garden shops with plants and flowers lining the pavements….great memories. Thanks!
I've always loved walking along there. I'm thinking there's a book store at the end. Maybe Brentano's? I know I've browsed it many times and brought back many books from there.

College Hockey:Rensselaer's Polacek Named ECAC Player of the Year, Teammate Jerry D'Amigo ECAC Rookie of the Year
ALBANY, N.Y. — Rensselaer junior forward Chase Polacek was named the ECAC Player of the Year at the annual ECAC banquet on Thursday.
Polacek netted 35 points in 22 ECAC games this season, tallying 17 goals and 18 assists, with six of the goals being power play goals and two shorthanded. Overall, he finished third in the nation with 26 goals scored, and also third in the nation in points with 52 points (26-26–52). He also finished tied first nationally for power play goals (13), seventh in goals per game (0.67), and ninth in points per game (1.33).
In addition he was named one of the Top 10 Hobey Baker Award Finalists.
His teammate Jerry D'Amigo was named the ECAC Rookie of the Year. D'Amigo scored seven goals and added 17 assists for 24 points in conference play. In 35 games played he had 10 goals and 24 assists for 34 total points. D'Amigo missed time this season as a key member of the United States' gold-medal winning team at the World Junior Championships.
Cornell's Ben Scrivens was named the Dryden Award winner for Best Goaltender.
The senior posted a .933 save percentage and a 1.89 GAA in conference play this season. He also posted the same numbers overall as he has played in all 31 games this season for Cornell. He finished the season with five shutouts and only allowed 58 goals all season. He was also named one of the Top 10 Hobey Baker Award Finalists.
Scrivens' teammate Justin Krueger was named the Best Defensive Defenseman. He had a plus/minus rating of plus-15 this season in helping Cornell and Scrivens to a great defensive season in which the Big Red have surrended only 61 goals in 31 games.

This was quite possibly the first ever example of hardcore "crossover" that I heard back in the day: my college radio metal show of choice (WERS-88.9FM's "Nasty Habits", a show that got me into soooo many classic bands) spotlighted this album as its "Nasty Album of the NIght" and I will never forget DJ Mike Jones declaring this album "BRUTAL". Lo and behold, it was and still is to this day!
We all know about how S.O.D. got together, yaddada yaddada, so let's us concentrate on the music. And what hella powerful music this is! "March Of The S.O.D." is one of the most ominous and evil-sounding instrumentals ever laid to wax with its powerful unison riffing--once it starts, you know you're in trouble! Attitude to spare, and followup, "Sergeant D and the S.O.D.", sets the tone with its extremely antisocial and violent lyrics. That's the thing about this album that pissed off so many folks, the fact that Scott Ian just LET IT ALL HANG OUT and damn the torpedoes. And so many took it far too seriously--how can you take lyrics like this seriously at all? I can't, and still laugh my ass off at them.
The micro tunes like "The Ballad of Jimi Hendrix", "Hey Gordy", and "Diamonds and Rust" are throwaways, so I disregard them, hence the points deleted. But "Milk", with its scary-ass bass intro (Lilker has the bass tone of DEATH on this album) and blast beats on the verses makes up for that along with the frantic title track (Billy Milano lets out a really irate scream of "Speak! English! Or...DIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" at the end!), and "United Forces" with its repetitive riff and blazing thrash ending. Alex Perialas' production job is excellent considering that this was bashed out in about three days, and the band is tight, with a great natural, sounding mix. Perialas really knew his stuff--Carnivore's "Retaliation" comes to mind as another good 'un he produced--Scott's guitar is like a chainsaw, with Danny's eeeevil grinding bass backing it up in spades, and the drum sound is perfect for this band's approach.
This deserves to be in any self-respecting metaller's collection for a good laugh if nothing else--and a sense of (crude, sometimes downright lowbrow)humor is required to enjoy this album to the fullest. Of course, you can always disregard the lyrics and just thrash out to the berserk mania exploding from your speakers, which works just fine for me!

College Hockey:No Goal: Crimson, Wildcats Battle To Scoreless Draw
NMU Advances In Shootout After Sparkling Netminders' Duel
MINNEAPOLIS — Neither Harvard's Dov Grumet-Morris nor Northern Michigan's Tuomas Tarkki deserved to lose Wednesday's opener at the Dodge Classic holiday tournament.
Officially, neither did.
A sparse early crowd at Minnesota's Mariucci Arena was treated to a spectacular display of goaltending, as Grumet-Morris and Tarkki matched each other shot for shot, stopping a combined total of 70 to send the Crimson and the Wildcats into a shootout after 65 minutes of scoreless hockey.
After five penalty shots apiece, Andrew Sarauer and Darin Olver had scored for Northern Michigan, and Andrew Lederman and Dan Murphy for Harvard, turning it over to sudden-death.
Olver, the first NMU shooter in the sudden-death round, scored high to Grumet-Morris' stick side, and when Tarkki made a pad save on Brendan Bernakevitch, Northern Michigan (9-4-4) was on its way to the championship game.
According to Wildcat coach Walt Kyle, sending out Olver first was a nod to the law of averages.
"Darin Olver's about 0-for-5 in breakaways," Kyle said. "He was due."
In accordance with NCAA rules governing in-season tournaments, the result goes into the books as a tie, but it was a sour tie for Harvard and head coach Ted Donato.
"I think everybody wants to play in front of a full house," said Donato in reference to the championship game. "It's [Mariucci Arena] such a great venue for college hockey, and a great state for support, and I wanted our kids to have that experience."
Harvard (9-3-2) was limited in practice this week by illness. Donato described as many as 15 players on antibiotics for a respiratory ailment that swept the team, but refused to use that as an out.
"There's no excuses," he said. "They're [NMU] a very good hockey team."
Kyle complimented Harvard's performance as well.
"Harvard's a good team," he said. "They've beaten BC, BU, Maine — you don't do that by luck."
Despite the score, the contest was peppered with scoring chances, especially in the third period and overtime. The best chance in OT was by Northern Michigan's Alan Swanson, who skated up the middle and rang a wrister off the left post to no avail.
"It wasn't an 18-17 shot performance, that's for sure," said Kyle.
That came after both goalies stepped up their play in the third period. After a trip by Harvard defenseman Dave MacDonald at 3:10, Northern Michigan put together a string of scoring chances, starting with a stuff attempt for Pat Bateman.
Nathan Oystrick followed that up with a short-range wrister after cheating in from the right point, and just after the expiration of the power play, Andrew Contois had another sterling chance, a shot from the left side that trickled through Grumet-Morris (37 saves) but dribbled a foot wide of the right post.
Bernakevitch had the next opportunity for the Crimson, redirecting a centering pass toward Tarkki (33 saves), but the netminder got a pad on it to stave off the chance at the 10-minute mark.
An offensive-zone turnover by Harvard at the 14-minute mark led to three straight odd-man rushes, none successful. Northern Michigan's Swanson had the best chance, a wrister on a two-on-one that he pushed wide of the net. At the other end, Tarkki preserved the tie with a diving save on a short-angle shot with four minutes left.
That set up a relatively uneventful finish to regulation, and an overtime period that saw only two shots on goal.
The early going was heavy on defense. Northern Michigan controlled play in the opening minutes, and though Harvard's offense came to life during a power play late in the first period, no goals resulted.
The best chance of the second period came after an infraction against NMU's Bateman. Harvard's Tim Hartung took a one-timer from the bottom of the faceoff circle that couldn't quite get through.
Charlie Johnson of NMU had a wrist shot knocked down at 14:10, followed by a point-blank chance for teammate Andrew Contois that Grumet-Morris stopped.
That sent the game to the third period, and eventually to the shootout, scoreless.
Only five penalties were called, a novelty in a season laden with obstruction whistles. Harvard was 0-for-2 on the power play, NMU 0-for-3.
With the win, Northern Michigan advances to Thursday's championship against either Merrimack or host Minnesota. The drop of the puck will be at 5:05 or 8:05 p.m. Central time; Minnesota will play the late game regardless of its result Wednesday.
Harvard will play the loser of the Gophers-Warriors contest in the other time slot.

There are many different things to consider before buying an ownership interest in a publicly traded company. These include the business model, valuation, and historical earnings growth. Another important consideration is the dividend. It's important to remember that from 1930 to 2012, dividends accounted for about 42% of the gains in the S&P 500.
Many investors pursue dividend-paying stocks to augment their returns with a nice income stream.
Companies in the telecom sector are some of the biggest dividend-paying companies around, and income investors often flock to them for their relatively high yields. Let's take a look at the dividends of AT&T, and see how they stack up in terms of size, growth, and sustainability.
Dividend yield
The first and most obvious consideration when evaluating a company's dividend is the dividend yield, which represents the percentage of your investment that you'll receive back over the next 12 months at current share prices and dividend payouts.
AT&T currently yields a whopping 5.6%. This compares favorably with the dividend yield of its largest competitor Verizon, whose yield currently stands at 4.6%. Wireless competitors Sprint and T-Mobile US don't pay dividends at all.
It should also be mentioned that AT&T is currently the highest-yielding stock of the 30 components that make up the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
Dividend growth
When analyzing a dividend, it's not all about the yield. As an income investor, you want that dividend to grow over time in order to protect your income stream from the erosive effects of inflation, as well as to show confidence from management in the company's outlook.
Over the last five years, AT&T has increased its dividend by an average of 2.3% each year. Its most recent increase was by 2.2%. While this is by no means an impressive level of dividend growth, it still slightly outpaces inflation, which currently sits at around 1.6%.
AT&T has increased its dividend every year for the last 30 years. For this reason, the company belongs to the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats, an elite group of companies who have increased their dividends for at least 25 years straight.
The high yield and strong history of dividend increases (although currently small) illustrate the commitment of AT&T when it comes to returning cash to shareholders.
Free cash flow payout ratio
While high dividend yields and strong dividend growth are nice, we need to make sure that the company in question can generate enough cash flow to cover its dividend payment. The free cash flow payout ratio tells us what percentage of the company's free cash flow is eaten up by dividend payments. Lower free cash flow payout ratios are better, as they leave more room available for future dividend increases or other uses of the capital.
Free cash flow is the cash flow a company generates in its operations minus capital expenditures.
Over the last 12 months, AT&T has paid out 70% of its free cash flow to shareholders in the form of dividend payments. This is slightly higher than its five-year average free cash flow payout ratio of 64%. These numbers are typical of a company that is in a mature industry.
While these numbers suggest that the dividend is not in any form of danger, we should note that in the company's most recent earnings release, management forecast free cash flow in 2014 to come in at around $11B.
We also know from the same earnings release that AT&T paid out a total of $9.7B in dividends over the last 12 months. If AT&T allocates the same amount of money to dividends this year as it did last year and its free cash flow forecast comes true, then its free cash flow payout ratio will balloon to 91%! This is extremely high, and doesn't leave much room for future dividend increases or other activities that might create value for shareholders.
Earnings per share growth forecasts
While it's good to look at what past dividend payouts have been and how they relate to past earnings, we need to get an idea as to what future dividend payouts are going to look like. One of the ways in which we do this is by looking at analyst forecasts for earnings-per-share growth. This year, analysts expect AT&T to increase its earnings per share by 6%, followed by a 5% increase in 2015.
Earnings per share growth in the mid single-digit range should be enough to at least maintain the dividend going forward, as long as the company can effectively manage its capital expenditures.
AT&T stock currently offers a very attractive dividend yield, and management has shown its commitment to increasing the dividend every year over the last three decades. However, the increases lately have been very small, just barely outpacing inflation. With the current free cash flow forecast, we can expect to see the free cash flow payout ratio balloon to levels near 90%, making substantial increases in the near future a challenge. With earnings forecasts calling for mid single-digit earnings-per-share growth over the next couple of years, I think it is reasonable to expect the low single-digit dividend growth of AT&T to continue over the near-term.
Let's face it, every investor wants to get in on revolutionary ideas before they hit it big. Like buying PC-maker Dell in the late 1980s, before the consumer computing boom. Or purchasing stock in e-commerce pioneer Amazon.com in the late 1990s, when it was nothing more than an upstart online bookstore. The problem is, most investors don't understand the key to investing in hyper-growth markets. The real trick is to find a small-cap "pure-play" and then watch as it grows in EXPLOSIVE lockstep with its industry. Our expert team of equity analysts has identified one stock that's poised to produce rocket-ship returns with the next $14.4 TRILLION industry.

Volume 6 Jena Economic Research Papers 2012-07-23 2012 2007 2012-044 altruism dictator games moral preferences experimenter demand effect Traditionally, giving in dictator games was assumed to signal preferences over others' payoffs. To date, several studies find that dictator game giving breaks down under conditions designed to increase dictators' anonymity or if an option to take money obscures the purpose of the task. Giving is therefore argued to result from an experimenter demand effect. Here, we put this new interpretation to a stress test and find evidence that dictators mean to compensate the recipient for her vulnerable position in the game. Our results explain why giving decreases under specific conditions designed to increase anonymity and why the same individual may signal very different other-regarding preferences across different rules and/or roles of a game (Blanco et al. 2011). jportal_jpjournal_00000016 2012-07-23T06:26:07.978Z 2012-07-23T06:25:45.346Z

Chris Soules might be the next man on "The Bachelor." The rumored contestant could have gone on weeks before announcing that he was an official choice, but it appears he wants people to know right away. According to The Stir on Wednesday, the cast member of "The Bachelorette" posted a picture of himself with a long stem rose for the world to see. A visual confirmation of what people thought was true, it seems that the rumors of him being the next "Bachelor" are true.
The photograph definitely leaves plenty to admire. With a single rose, held gently in his mouth, the contestant is joined by another man who looks quite pleased in holding the rose stem too. It's important to mention that this photo only has one rose and the implications of what it suggests is exactly what the fans were hoping to see. Of course there isn't official confirmation, but that will change in the weeks ahead. Maybe even Soules himself will make an announcement online. It would be a first and a great way to engage with all the fans of the reality show.
Chris Soules has been rumored to be the next contestant on "The Bachelor" for weeks. Thanks to the blogger Reality Steve and other people who intensely watch the show, the news was broken way before the picture was posted. As the gossip around this show is never fool proof, with so many signs pointing to Chris Soules it's safe to assume he is the new lucky man to be seen looking for love on ABC.
It's pretty obvious that the ladies will never look at Iowa in the same way again. The hunk definitely has roots in the community and coming to Los Angeles (and trips around the world) will offer a look at who he is as a person. Too bad that ABC won't be announcing him as the new contestant until "Bachelors in Paradise" is over. Yet, when they do the fans will be ready to drool as this man is no Juan Pablo! Of course there is no disrespect to Juan Pablo intended, but Chris appears sincere on his journey for love.

College Hockey:Commentary: Kushneriuk's cancer battle touches Robert Morris community
The former Colonials player faces surgery in November to possibly remove part of his liver.
The college hockey universe is full of die-hard, passionate fans, players and coaches. And it is a small universe indeed, all things considered. All involved parties have ties and relationships to people on other teams and in other leagues.
That is not to say that our hearts all beat as one, especially when it comes to rivalry or tournament games. But when it comes to tragic circumstances that occur to members of our college hockey "family," it moves the ground under our feet no matter which school we follow.
When the news came that Robert Morris alum Chris Kushneriuk had been diagnosed with testicular cancer, it sent a blow to the hearts of Colonials fans. For others, it raised questions about what they'd do if it was a player from their favorite team.
Kushneriuk had been looking forward to another season, his second full campaign in the ECHL, with the Bakersfield Condors, and vividly remembers the circumstances that prompted his first suspicion.
How to help
Chris Kushneriuk will incur some amount of medical expenses in his battle with testicular cancer, and Robert Morris is raising money through sales of a bracelet emblazoned with "KRUSH CANCER." It can be purchased for $5 with all proceeds going to Kushneriuk.
"I can't thank everyone who has purchased these enough," Colonials coach Derek Schooley said. "Chris would also like to donate some of the proceeds to the hospital where his treatments take place."
Bracelets can be purchased by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope and a check (made out to RMU Men's Hockey) or money order for $5 to:
RMU Men's Hockey
6001 University Blvd
Moon Township, PA 15108
Robert Morris also will host Men's Cancer Awareness Weekend on Nov. 2-3 while the Colonials host Bentley. Donations will be accepted at both games.
"I was actually training for this upcoming season — I was planning on going back to Bakersfield," he said. "I noticed I was starting to have a pain in my side. Kind of a dull, achy pain. It wasn't going away, and I started to feel sick to my stomach. I actually went to the hospital to get checked for a kidney stone and they discovered a dark mass in my stomach. Through more CT scans they discovered the testicular cancer. I am very fortunate that they were able to find it."
Robert Morris coach Derek Schooley was in unfamiliar territory following the news. Most of his alumni have yet to reach 30 due to the program's brief history. And, with such young former players, it was hard for him to be prepared for the news that one of his former players was stricken with cancer so soon.
"When I first heard of Chris' condition I was shocked. It's a terrible situation when you have an alum that's so young and is afflicted with this disease," Schooley said. "Hopefully sooner than later he'll get some more encouraging news and will be on the road to recovery."
Kushneriuk was shocked as well but has kept a positive outlook on his situation.
"It hits you really hard at first. When I first got diagnosed, my heart went to the floor and shattered into pieces. But you put your faith in the right place and trust in God's plan. I've been through my chemotherapy and I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am blessed to have as much support as I do. I just have to get through this next surgery and take every day as it comes to me."
The next surgery will occur in early November to possibly remove part of his liver that has been affected; the cancer spreads through the body quickly. However, Kushneriuk's physicians are extremely optimistic on his outlook.
Meanwhile, his former coach is constantly reminded, through Kushneriuk's faith and attitude, of the player and former Colonials captain that Schooley pursued from Wayne State upon its folding in 2009.
"His attitude has been tremendous. He's been positive and enthusiastic, just like he was when he played for us," Schooley said. "He was a real battler and competitor and he's not going to let this beat him. If anybody in our family ever had this happen to them, I can only hope they'd have his type of attitude."
The circumstances have prompted Kushneriuk to help spread the word about cancer awareness and have provided him with a perspective well beyond his 25 years.
"When something like this happens, you really look at life in a different light and you see things differently," Kushneriuk said. "I really appreciate things more like family and friends — the true finer things in life, not the material things. I wake up every day excited for having another chance to fight this."
The strength comes from a number of sources, he said.
"First and foremost my faith; cancer will never be able to break my relationship with God," he said. "My family and the outreach of support from friends and organizations I've been a part of has also dug me out of some tough times. I think people underestimate the true value of friendship and the experiences we have with loved ones.
"I can remember sitting in my hospital bed undergoing chemotherapy treatments and getting visited by some of my RMU teammates, reminiscing about some of the amazing times we've had both on the ice and at school. Those memories can never be taken away from us. They can help us through some of life's bitter trials and I'm very blessed to have had all these amazing experiences to draw back on."
