Gifts of Retirement Plan Assets
Do you have money saved in an employee retirement plan, IRA or tax-sheltered annuity? Each of these retirement plan assets contains income that has yet to be taxed. Although there are ways in which spouses (and, to a lesser extent, other heirs) can defer taxes on these assets when they delay the date they are to receive the funds, they, too, are subject to income tax when they make withdrawals which can be as high as 39.6 percent. This may be reason enough to consider giving your loved ones less heavily taxed assets and leaving your retirement plan assets to charity instead.

Hotel Le Germain Toronto Tosses Plastic Water Bottles, Introduces Filtration System
July 13, 2010
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
Hot on the heels of Ritz-Carlton's decision to ditch plastic water bottles, Toronto's Hotel Le Germain has announced the new eco-installation of OVUPUR water filtration systems on every floor. Guests can stay hydrated with a ready supply of pristine drinking water, eliminating the need for plastic water bottles. The installation of this cutting-edge technology is estimated to save 73,000 water bottles from landfills each year. Moreover, OVUPUR is renowned for its energy efficiency:
The unique porcelain system preserves and revitalizes water without electricity. It relies on gravity to filter imperfections using a special filter designed to reproduce nature's water cycle. The reusable, multilayer cartridge contains tried and tested filtering materials that have been proven to remove chemicals and organic pollutants from drinking water.
This new eco-friendly amenity is just another example of the thoughtful service found at Hotel Le Germain. With just 118 rooms and suites, the boutique hotel knows how to take care of its guests: complimentary Internet, a rooftop terrace and putting green, a 24-hour fitness room, plus delicious Canadiana cuisine by young culinary talent Chef David Chrystian at Victor Restaurant....
Cool Technology and Spa Rooms at the Park Hyatt Istanbul
July 12, 2010
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
There's a lot to love at the Park Hyatt Istanbul-Maçka Palas, one of the hottest hotels in town since its November 2008 opening in the fashionable district of Nisantasi. First, there's The Terrace: ideal for sipping fresh lemonade in a cushioned lounge chair by the infinity pool by day, and by night, a buzzing summer hang-out for cocktails and moderately priced fare (think gourmet burgers and lobster rolls). Then there's the in-room technology which makes techies drool: JBL On Time iPod docking stations, DVD players, a Smartbox (hiding multiple adapters) and black-out curtains controlled by a panel at the bed. Of this gadgetry, we most like the nifty water filtration system in the bathrooms. Fill up a gorgeous crystal pitcher instead of tossing back plastic bottles. Did we mention the Spa Rooms? This innovative room category is all about pampering; spa bathrooms have five different bathing experiences: a Dornbracht RainSky shower, steam room, hammam, soaking tub and colored light therapy. Good luck trying to summon the energy to leave your perfect room, a restful haven in the bustling city.
Buzz: New LED Lighting Makes a Fab Light Show at InterContinental Dubai Festival City
July 8, 2010
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
In a city often criticized for its rampant development, InterContinental Dubai Festival City is taking an eco-friendly stand. The hotel partnered with Phillips to replace 35,000 exterior and interior lights bulbs of the hotel with energy-saving LED lights, cutting carbon emissions by 80%. Phase one-- the exterior facade-- is complete, and pretty soon all the hotel rooms, suites, and public areas will be outfitted with LED technology as well. The coolest part of all? Dazzling nighttime light shows on the hotel's exterior, a marvelous sight on Dubai Creek. Just check out this video on YouTube. The installation of new, energy-efficient lighting isn't the only way that InterContinental Dubai Festival City is going green; the hotel also has an aggressive recycling program and a fleet of Lexus LS600 hybrid cars for guest transfers.
Thai Cooking Classes, Yoga, and Sea Turtle Rehab with Phuket's Aleenta Resort
July 6, 2010
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
Now's the time to travel to Thailand. As we've reported recently, luxury hotels in Bangkok and the islands-- faced with lower tourism numbers-- are rolling out the discounts to entice travelers back to Thailand. Score luxury for less and get your sunshine fix in a tropical paradise with the Aleenta Resort, perched on one of Phuket's most pristine and private beaches with staggering views of the Andaman Sea. More than just a spa and beach destination, Aleenta offers some unique activities, including guest participation in the on-site Marine Turtle Foundation, dedicated to the conservation of Thailand's four threatened turtle species. What's more- the resort offers Thai Cooking Classes and a stellar yoga program in addition to the "normal" resort recreational activities of boating, yachting, snorkeling, cycling, and sun-bathing on the sand. Both "early bird" and "last minute" rates are available at Aleenta Resort.
Green Hotels: The Urban Garden at Baltimore's InterContinental Harbor Court Hotel
July 1, 2010
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
Farm-to-table cuisine is all the rage these days as the "eat local" movement gains momentum across the country. From San Francisco to Atlanta, hotels are participating in this important trend. Some are taking it one step further, not only purchasing produce from local farmers but also planting gardens on their premises. As recently reported by Peter Greenberg, the InterContinental Harbor Court Hotel has created a green space smack dab in the middle of urban Baltimore:
"The hotel planted a 600-square-foot garden with more than 400 plants, vegetables and edible flowers. The neat thing here is that since it was just planted, guests can watch its progress and then return in a few months to see those ingredients used in the menu."
The Harbor Court's restaurant, Brightons, serves flavorful cuisine featuring seasonal produce and local favorites like crab cakes and rockfish. Overlooking the Inner Harbor, the hotel has extensive facilities: a rooftop fitness center with views, an indoor pool, racquetball and tennis courts, and a full-service business center. Tip: The hotel is offering a string of tempting packages this summer including an insider's Baltimore Aquarium experience and a cruise package, which lets guests park a vehicle for up to seven days when embarking from Baltimore on a cruise.
New Culinary Garden with Honey Beehives at the Fairmont San Francisco
June 23, 2010
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
The buzzz in San Francisco? As part of Fairmont Hotels' commitment to the environment, the Nob Hill hotel has planted a new culinary garden with four honey beehives. The idea? To grow herbs and produce for the kitchen, while also cultivating home-harvested honey, thereby supporting the honeybee population which has seen a dangerous decline of 90% since the 1980's.* In partnership with Marshall's Farm (known for their award-winning organic honey), Executive Chef JW Foster of the Fairmont San Francisco installed the beehives last week, each containing 20,000 bees. When the beehives mature, they will each contain 50,000 bees, producing a total of 250 pounds of honey which will be served in the hotel's dining outlets (which emphasize local, organic cuisine). Think soups, salads, pastries, ice cream, and as an accompaniment to the hotel's tea service.
*To quote the hotel's press release: "The United States Department of Agriculture believes a virus is responsible for the collapse of honey bee colonies. This situation is often called "CCD" or Colony Collapse Disorder. Without honey bees, pollination is not possible. The decrease of the honey bee population is extremely significant since one out of three mouthfuls in the diet is affected by the honey bee population."

Travel Buzz: Ritz-Carlton Hotels Ditches Plastic for Eco-Friendly Water Bottles
June 17, 2010
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
Hot off the press. The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company is paving the way in finding solutions to the plastic water bottle crisis. Committed to environmental sustainability, the company is leading the pack, reducing plastic bottle use in the hospitality industry by introducing a cutting-edge new technology: an all-natural, biodegradable bottle which is making its debut at Ritz-Carlton properties in North America and the Caribbean. Here's the word from the official press release:
Noting the waste that is caused by using an estimated five million, 16oz plastic bottles every year at the properties, Simon F. Cooper, president and chief operating officer of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, challenged his team responsible for sustainable programs to find a better solution. He noted, "Plastic bottles are made from crude oil, take a significant amount of energy to produce, and less than 20% are sent to recycling facilities. Even when recycled, these bottles cannot be used to make the same quality of plastic," Cooper said.
After 18 months of research, and working with a variety of vendors, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company developed a partnership with PrimaTM to create a co-branded bottle that is rich with sustainability opportunities. The 16oz bottles are made 100% from plants, are all natural, can decompose in 30 days in a commercial composting facility, or can be reprocessed and remade 100% into new bottles.
Manufacturing the new bottle requires 49% less fossil fuels, 45% less energy, and 75% less greenhouse gases than a PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) classic bottle. In addition, the bottle does not contain BPA (Bisphenol A), the harmful product found in many plastics.
Hotel Trends: Underground Eco-Friendly Pad in the Italian Alps
May 28, 2010
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
Hotel design is going underground. Last year we reported on a London project to build a subterranean five-star hotel underneath a golf course. Striving to preserve the Green Belt countryside, the hotel isn't compromising on luxurious amenities: like a spa underneath a green roof. Now we're hearing reports about a new, unobtrusive project in the Italian Alps designed by Italian architect Matteo Thun. Built into the side of a mountain slope, the eco-friendly hotel will be crafted from local materials with a green roof to regulate the inside temperatures year-round. Best part of all? These "hobbit houses" will still boast stellar views of the surrounding mountainscape.
New Baby Elephant at the Anantara Golden Triangle Resort
May 27, 2010
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
Some good news from one of our fave Thai resorts: there's a new addition at the Anantara Elephant Camp. "A 100 kg bundle of joy" to be exact. Baby elephant Nong 'Phil (officially called "Plai Pa Choke," meaning "to bring good luck") was born on May 23, 2010. Congratulations to all the Anantara staff! Overlooking the rugged hills of Laos and Burma in Thailand's mystical Golden Triangle region, the Anantara Resort is famed for its on-site Elephant Camp where pachyderms are rescued and cared for. In fact, the resort's annual King's Cup Elephant Polo Tournament raises money for the Thai Elephant Conservation Center. Guests appreciate the opportunity to learn about these noble creatures almost as much as they appreciate the resort's laid-back luxury surrounded by 160 acres of lush tropical jungle.

Mysterious sign, perhaps no longer in production?
I can't for the life of me find a picture of a particular road sign, which I consistently misunderstood as a child. It's a traffic sign in North America that I saw many times as a kid but almost never any more. It was a yellow-orange sign with a "no" symbol and some random-looking detritus behind it, which I later understood to be a crumpled can. Probably a "no littering" sign, but a search on that or like terms seems to turn up nothing! A pretty silly question, I know! I ask partly because when I was a kid, I thought the item behind the "no" sign was a mouser from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

I also bought a substantial number of boxes LA Lites. .
Your diet plan is based on eating 2 bars per day so two boxes of 7 bars each are required each week. Regular price is $41.98 per week plus GST but you are told right away that you save if you buy the boxes in bulk . . the more you buy, the less you pay per box. I purchased 80 boxes to get the best deal and paid another huge bill of $1264.37
I was apprehensive about paying so much up front because I have a difficult time losing weight and was not at all sure the program would work for me. I told the young lady who was signing me up of my particular weight loss issues and was assured they could help me.
And, I read the section of the service agreement entitled CONSUMER'S RIGHT TO CANCEL - which reads . . ."If you cancel your Program for any reason within the first three (3) days of the Program, you will be refunded the Program Cost, minus $199 (plus GST)Set-up Fee. After the Initial three (3) day period, we may retain the portion of the total contract price representing the services used and reimbursement for our expenses, plus the cost of any products purchased and removed from the centre."
Nowhere in that section do they put terms and conditions on the individuals right to cancel and I believed (as I am sure I was intended to believe) that I would get a refund if I should choose to cancel.
As suspected, I have lost very little weight on the program. My counsellors' repsonses to my distress about not losing more or faster is to make me feel worse by saying that I am not following the program correctly and admonishing me to follow the program exactly as written. Several times I actually gained weight when following the program exactly. At first I was advised to do things like drink more water, add lemon juice to the water. However, as time has progressed I have been feeling pressured to purchase another of their fantasitic products. e.g.Their special vitamins cost which cost almost $80.00 for a bottle of 120 tablets and you are to take 4 per day . . a month's supply.
I have begun to dread going to weigh in and have come away from the center in tears more than once.
Oh yes, my 23 weight loss weeks are nearly up and I am no where near my goal weight. Now, as I understand it, I cannot continue the program and use my stabilization weeks and maintenance weeks to help me lose additional weight. If I want to lose more weight I have to pay for more weight loss weeks after the original ones are completed and THEN use the stabilization and weight maintenace weeks.
Yesterday I wrote the Lethbridge Center; Weight Loss Alberta Corp which is based in Calgary and appears to be operating the Lethbridge Center and even sent an e-mail to what is supposed to be the regional home office for LA Weight Loss. I notified them of my intention to cancel myself out of their program and requested a refund of funds for my unused weeks (61) and my unused LA Lites (57 boxes). By my calculations they owe me over $1700 . . or around $1500 if they deduct the 199.00 set up fee as referred to in their Consumer's Right to Cancel section in the service agreement.
I had a phone call today from a lady by the name of Martina. She was calling from the Calgary office to tell me that I do not qualify for a refund ! ! ! !
I am welcome to go to the center and get my 57 boxes of LA Lites but I will get no cash back for them and I get nothing back for the unused weeks of service because THEY are still there and willing to provide me with any more weeks of service I might want . . including the extra weeks of weight loss I will have to buy soon if I want to continue losing any weight with them.
There is nothing of these terms indicated in the Right to Cancel section of the service agreement. How can they just invoke them after the fact ? ? ?
In short, they have a good chunk of my money and they have no intention of giving any of it back.
How can they be allowed to conduct business in such a manner ? ?

This is sort of a long term project, because my Mom is not ready to leave her place. She also is not really able to fix it up herself or keep it in good shape. So me and my brothers have started to do some serious work it on it. The priority is to make it comfortable for her to live in it, so we have been getting some quotes on air conditioning installation in NYC. So far we have not really liked the numbers that we have gotten back and so we are trying to figure out if we can do all or part of the job by ourselves. Of course this is not something you want to botch, so we are not married to the idea. We just want to take a close look at how it gets done and figure out if we can manage all or part of the job.The first thing is to remove the old system and we actually figure that we can do that. In fact there is a small incentive to do it, since there are some scrap metal parts in it than can be salvaged and sold to help finance the project. At current scrap metal prices, it is not going to really make a huge dent in the costs, but it is certainly worth the effort. In fact it might be better to hold on to the copper from it in the hope that the price of scrap copper will go up. After that we figure that we can buy the new HVAC units and put them where they need to be. After that it will be time to bring in some guy who knows which end of a screwdriver goes in the socket. We definitely do want to play with the electrical part of it.
When I bought an old farmhouse close to New York City, I knew that I was incredibly lucky. No one had lived there for years, and the outbuildings were in deplorable condition. The house was surprisingly nice though, even with years of neglect. I bought everything as-is, without knowing if it was even inhabitable. Anyone who understands real estate in NYC can absolutely understand that with the price that I paid for the property itself. I knew after looking at one of the sheds that I needed a company that does termite removal in New York City before I made any decisions on the house itself.
I had no problem tearing the house down and starting from scratch if that was what was needed. I actually hoped though that the termite damage I had seen in the shed was restricted just to that one outbuilding though. The house did not look anything like the shed, which was a good sign, but I also knew from studying about termite damage that it did not mean that the termites had not done damage inside the house that was just not visible. It seemed likely that the damage in both spots would look about the same, but I was not taking any chances.
I looked at several different companies, and I was able to find the one that I wanted to use. I called them about what I had seen, and I scheduled an appointment for that same week for someone to come out and do a complete inspection. As predicted, the termites had definitely been in several outbuildings, and I was so thankful when I was told that there was no evidence in the house. They did a perimeter inspection of the house as well and set up bait traps, but none were found when they came back out. It was such a relief to know that I only had to tear down the outbuildings, and I get to put the old house back to its glory!

Shane Watson collected yet another man-of-the-match award as he inspired his side with two for 29 from his four overs and 70 from 47 balls.
Australia lost just two wickets as they strolled to their victory target of 147 to claim their fourth successive victory in Sri Lanka, while the Proteas slumped to their second defeat of the Super Eights.
South African were lacklustre with the bat and sloppy in the field, and while the result has not yet knocked them out of the tournament, they will now need other results to fall their way if they are to progress to the semi-finals.
After being asked to bat first, South Africa made an extremely sluggish start as Richard Levi departed for a three-ball duck as spinner Xavier Doherty, playing his first match of the tournament, made the early breakthrough.
Hashim Amla briefly looked assured at the crease with a quick 17, but his stay at the crease was ended by the inspired Watson, with wicketkeeper Matthew Wade taking the catch behind.
Jacques Kallis was moved up to number three, but he did not trouble the scorers as he was snaffled behind by Wade for just six off the bowling of the excellent Doherty.
JP Duminy and captain AB de Villiers gave their side real impetus in the middle order, with the number four scoring 30 off 36 balls before Doherty claimed his third wicket courtesy of a comprehensive stumping.
Watson accounted for de Villiers with the captain well set at the crease on 21, but the Proteas still managed a late assault to build on a very mediocre score.
South Africa plundered 54 runs from the final four overs of their innings to post a competitive, if un-intimidating, total of 146 for five with Farhaan Behardien and Robin Peterson weighing in with 31 and 32 not out, respectively.
Australia did not manage to get off to the best of starts themselves, as the ever-dangerous David Warner fell for just five, attempting to slog a full delivery from Morne Morkel which scattered his woodwork.
But Watson was brimming with confidence and bludgeoned eight fours and two sixes as he led the charge with Australia able to coast towards their total.
Mike Hussey, batting at number three, scored an unbeaten 45 off 37 balls as he joined forces with Watson and the pair ensured that South Africa were not able to make further inroads.
Watson, who boasts scores of 47, 51, 41 not out, 72 and now 70 from his last five T20 internationals, eventually holed out to Wayne Parnell at long on as Peterson took his wicket with six overs remaining.
It was left to Cameron White, who plundered a quick 21, and Hussey to steer Australia to their target with 14 balls remaining as South Africa were left to confront a second defeat in the Super Eights.
For Australia, it was another comprehensive victory as they close in on the semi-finals, while de Villiers was left to bemoan his side's lack of a cutting edge as they look all but out of the competition at the last-eight stage.

Eagles storm past SMC Cyclones
The Brady girls basketball team traveled to Stapleton Saturday and stirred up the Cyclones in Brady fashion.
The Eagles trailed after the first quarter but scored 45 points in the next two periods to cruise to a 65-40 victory.
The girls didn't play well in the first quarter, head coach Lance Arterburn said. It was SMC's parents night and game of the week and the Eagles got a little flustered leading to a 10-6 Cyclone advantage.
What seemed to be an overwhelmed Brady team regrouped and hit SMC with a 20 spot in the second quarter.
"I knew if we kept with the gameplan we'd get opportunities to score after starting the game with cold shooting," Arterburn said.
The girls settled down, limited SMC to four second-quarter points and led 26-14 at halftime.
The third quarter was no different for Brady or SMC in terms of Eagle production.
Autumn Hild led a scoring barrage hitting outside shots to help widen Brady's lead to 49-26 going into the fourth frame.
"Our shooters got hot in the third," Arterburn said. "Autumn knocked down some outside shots to get us going."
With a comfortable lead, Brady was patient on offense throughout the final stanza. Both teams scored 14 points, but the game ended with a 25-point margin in favor of the Eagles.
Arterburn said he was pleased with the girls' good defense and how they took care of the ball in the second half.
Hild led the Eagles in scoring with 16 points.
Scoring by quarters:
Brady. 6202514—65
EAGLE SCORING: Autumn Hild 16, Carissa Rayburn 11, Valerie Most 9, Madison Elliott 8, Alexis Mann 6, Josie Palmer 6, Tara Callahan 6, Sydney Widick 3.

54" of Screen Real Estate: Ronny's Dual Screen Setup
What a view! Ronny's dual screen home workstation provides quite the refreshing outdoor view, thanks to the two 27" displays stretching across his desk. An iMac drives an additional and complementary 27" Cinema Display, providing him with plenty of screen space, while also keep his desk free of clutter thanks to the fact the CPU resides inside one of the monitors...
For the spec-loving crowd, here's the details about Ronny's setup:
- iMac is a 3.2GHz i3
- 12GB of RAM
- 1TB hard drive
- ATI Radeon HD 5670 graphics card
Except for the RAM, this iMac is pretty standard. We checked it out and it costs $1,700 at the Apple Store. Combined with the display, the overall cost of this workstation is $2,700, which is reasonable considering this is a multi-monitor setup with these two large screens, ideal for Ronny's photography work. Naturally, you'll have to add some RAM if you use Photoshop and its memory-hungry ilk are, but you can buy RAM at a fraction of the price Apple asks via 3rd party vendors like Crucial and 18004Memory.

I've decided to open up a Flickr account for my artwork, to spread it around more and get more feedback than I do on my own Blog (I also have a deviantart.com account).
At first I searched around for a WordPress plugin that uploads images to both the local server and the Flickr server, but existing plugins and the general consensus seem to be that this would be redundant: I could simply link to my Flickr hosted images in my WordPress posts.
I'd like to know what your thoughts are on this. Is hotlinking to Flickr a good idea? Do you do it? What if the Flickr server goes down? I'd like to know...
Thank you!

Silent Witness
January 21, 2013
The burglars that hit a home near Brown and Greenfield in Mesa must have thought they hit the jackpot.
The burglary happened on Friday, Nov. 6, 2012 sometime between 7:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.
"They took a lot of items," said Phoenix Police Sgt. Darren Burch. "Gold coins, jewelry, weapons, ammunition and even night vision goggles."
The owners hadn't written down any of the serial numbers and police have no idea what happened to the stuff. It may have been pawned or sold.
Burch is concerned that the weapons could be used against someone in our community.
"If you have weapons and ammo in your home, hide it somewhere that burglars can't find it or use a safe if possible," he said.

The bullish case for agriculture investments is based largely on demographics. According to the United Nations, the world's population is projected to rise to 9.1 billion by 2050, from 6.8 million in 2009. In addition to their expanding ranks, the planet's residents are becoming wealthier and more urban, two trends that are fueling growing demand for meat and feed crops, such as corn and soybeans.
The world will have 9.1 billion people by 2050, up from 6.8 billion in 2009. That's a lot more mouths to feed. Curtis Parker for Barron's
The U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that agricultural production will need to increase by at least 70% worldwide between now and 2050 to meet the needs of more protein-hungry populations, particularly in the developing world. That means almost a billion more tons of annual cereal production and 200 million more tons of meat. In the emerging markets alone, the FAO sees annual investments of $83 billion in agricultural production and "downstream" services such as processing and storage, not to mention billions of dollars for seeds, fertilizer, farm equipment and irrigation to coax more production from the land. By 2050, the organization forecasts, the world will have only 5% more arable land than it did at the start of this decade.
Such numbers suggest immense long-term opportunities for a wide array of companies in the U.S. and abroad. "Getting better seeds, fertilizers, water pumps and farming equipment to where it's needed is what the private sector is well suited to accomplish," says Roy Steiner, deputy director of agricultural development at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, a $36 billion humanitarian institution. "Smart companies can make a difference, and make a profit."
So, too, can smart investors, whether in agribusiness stocks and exchange-traded funds or commodities and farmland. For individual investors seeking broad exposure to the market, giant commodities processors such as Bunge BG -1.1230697239120262% Bunge Ltd. U.S.: NYSE USD63.39 -0.72 -1.1230697239120262% /Date(1472071637967-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 723516 P/E Ratio 12.648300023887252 Market Cap 8939305928.15368 Dividend Yield 2.644003777148253% Rev. per Employee 1252240 More quote details and news » (BG) and Archer Daniels (ADM) might be a good place to start. A major oilseed processor and commodities trader, Bunge hit a 52-week low of 54.03 last week, and is down 22% from an April high of 76.13. (Like most farm-related shares, the stock peaked at a much higher level in 2008, at 133.) Shares are trading for a discounted 8.3 times next year's expected earnings of $6.93 a share; 0.15 times estimated 2011 sales of $54.8 billion; and 0.7 times book value. Bunge is likely to benefit from rising demand, especially for sugar. Standard & Poor's has a 12-month price target of 81.
ADM might be an even better bet. Its shares, at 25.91, have fallen 30% from their 52-week high and are trading at levels last seen in 2006. Earnings are somewhat volatile and are expected to fall to $3.10 a share in the fiscal year ending next June 30 from $3.47 in fiscal '11. Analysts are estimating earnings of $3.39 for fiscal 2013. The shares trade for 8.4 times next year's estimated net, and about 20% of current-year sales. Some analysts see the stock returning to 35 in a year, propelled in part by rising prices for corn sweetener. ADM yields 2.5%, and Bunge, 1.7%.
Investors have been kinder to São Paulo-based BRF Brasil Foods (BRFS), Brazil's No. 1 producer and exporter of poultry, pork and beef. Its American depositary receipts are up 8.6% this year, to 18, and trade at 14.8 times next year's estimated earnings of $1.24 a share. Says Juliana Rozenbaum, an analyst at the Brazilian bank Itaú, "the long-term story supports a prolonged growth cycle." In the near term, the company could benefit from tight beef supplies.
FARM-EQUIPMENT STOCKS such as Agco AGCO -0.9289176090468497% AGCO Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD49.06 -0.46 -0.9289176090468497% /Date(1472071639143-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 333666 P/E Ratio 22.35 Market Cap 4016814731.34537 Dividend Yield 1.0575554199715274% Rev. per Employee 369913 More quote details and news » (AGCO), Deere and CNH Global (CNH) offer another way to play a long-term bull market in agriculture, as well as some positive near-term trends. The companies are benefiting from overseas growth and rising farm income in the U.S., which is expected to jump 31% this year, to $103.6 billion, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That's the highest level, adjusted for inflation, since 1974.
Deere, the world's largest producer of farm machinery, beat fiscal third-quarter earnings estimates and raised its full-year profit forecast for the 12 months ending Oct. 31. "All the macroeconomic trends favor us, and we are having our best year in the history of the company," Deere CEO Sam Allen recently told Barron's. "Between now and 2050, the world must double food output. The right equipment in the right place can boost yields."
Analysts expect Deere to earn $6.44 a share in fiscal '11 and $7.21 in fiscal '12, and some see the stock hitting 90 in a year, up from last week's 66.57. The shares, which peaked in April at 99.80, sell for nine times next year's forecast, and yield 2.5%. Shares of CNH and Titan International TWI -1.9467213114754098% Titan International Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD9.57 -0.19 -1.9467213114754098% /Date(1472071641587-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 203817 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 527498741.008072 Dividend Yield 0.2081165452653486% Rev. per Employee 211442 More quote details and news » (TWI), which makes tires and wheels for farm vehicles, also have been decimated. CNH trades for 7.2 times and Titan for 7.6 times next year's estimated earnings, ratios well below those merited by the companies' expected profit growth.
Without advances in seed science, global food supplies couldn't keep pace with population growth. It's a safe bet, then, that companies such as Monsanto, Syngenta (SYT) and DuPont DD -0.17745599091425326% E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co. U.S.: NYSE USD70.315 -0.125 -0.17745599091425326% /Date(1472071665829-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1978919 P/E Ratio 27.952380952380953 Market Cap 61587455994.4458 Dividend Yield 2.1578648495173196% Rev. per Employee 474096 More quote details and news » (DD) will play a large role in shaping agriculture's future. DuPont's Pioneer Hi-Bred division leads the world in hybrid seeds, which are cross-pollinated to include desirable traits. But hybrids' potential is dwarfed by that of genetically modified seeds, manipulated at the molecular level to be hardier and more productive.
Monsanto's Seeds and Genomics unit accounts for 73% of company revenue. "It is critically important that we improve both yield and productivity," says David Fischhoff, vice president of technology at Monsanto. The company is committed to doubling its yield in corn, soybeans and cotton by 2030 from 2000.
Gone are the days when Monsanto changed hands at 140 a share; the stock now trades for 71.29, up 2.4% for the year. Although it isn't a steal at 20.8 times estimated earnings for the August 2012 fiscal year, investors are getting double-digit profit growth and a management team focused on returning cash to shareholders through stock buybacks and rising dividends. Monsanto expects to raise seed prices in the current fiscal year, and is benefiting from growing demand in emerging markets.
The Bottom Line
Farmland is still expensive, but shares of agricultural-commodities companies, seed suppliers, and fertilizer and farm-equipment makers are a lot cheaper than they were just months ago.
As for fertilizer, Wall Street fell in love with the stuff a few years back, but the romance ended badly. As a result, this could be a good time to snap up shares of Potash of Saskatchewan POT -0.8353221957040573% Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc.

Potash, at 46.49, trades for 10 times next year's estimated earnings of $4.47 a share, even though earnings are expected to rise at a rate twice as much as the multiple indicates. Mosaic, a phosphate and potash producer, has an even lower multiple of 9.4 times fiscal 2012 earnings. The company missed Wall Street's fiscal first-quarter estimate, despite a 77% increase in earnings and a 41% jump in revenue for the three months ended Aug. 31.

FARMLAND IS THE MOST DIRECT WAY to invest in feeding the world, but it is also the least liquid. And, after surging in value in recent years, it is among the most expensive. Analysts at Rabobank calculate that the value of productive farmland has increased at a rate between 20% and 70% in the past five years, depending on location, with gains driven by higher commodity prices, low interest rates and a scarcity of available land—some of which has been acquired by financial buyers such as pension funds. The bank sees no near-term correction but thinks prices could fall some in three to seven years, as production costs and interest rates rise.
Legendary investor Jim Rogers views farmland as a long-term investment but notes that it's cheaper outside the U.S. "Myanmar is opening up as we speak, and there will be enormous opportunities there," he says. Angola and Cameroon also offer "magnificent opportunities in farmland."
Fortunately, you don't have to go to Cameroon to find compelling agribusiness investments these days. There are plenty ripe for the picking on Wall Street.
Up on the Farm
Agribusiness stocks and exchange-traded funds have been hammered this year, leaving many at tempting levels. Some, such as ADM and Deere, also pay nice dividends.

Alchemist Theatre's 'King Lear' reigns as family drama
Early in Friday's opening-night performance of Alchemist Theatre's "King Lear," Bo Johnson's aged king called for the map demonstrating his intended division of Britain among his three daughters. Lear's attendants dutifully unfurled it — with the bottom at the top and the top at the bottom. When they tried to hang the map up, it kept falling down.
Director Leda Hoffmann confirmed during intermission that this sequence wasn't planned. But such a topsy-turvy world aptly illustrates the disorder that descends on Britain once the hot-tempered Lear banishes his beloved Cordelia, counting on his remaining two daughters to keep him and Britain safe. »Read Full Article

Cairns Army Airfield

Cairns Army Airfield (IATA: OZR, ICAO: KOZR, FAA LID: OZR) is a military airport forming a part of Fort Rucker, in Dale County, Alabama, USA and is owned by the United States Army.[1] The airfield is south of the town of Daleville, which sits between it and the main post.
In September 1942, 1,259 acres (5.1 km2) south of Daleville were acquired for the construction of an airfield to support the training camp. It was a training airfield as part of the United States Army Air Forces Third Air Force during World War II, then placed on inactive status with the war's end.
Needing a location to shoot all takeoffs and landings for the 1949 film Twelve O'Clock High, including the spectacular B-17 Flying Fortress belly landing sequence early in the film, director Henry King selected Ozark since its dark runways more closely matched wartime bases in England as opposed to the light-colored runways at nearby Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, the primary shoot location. Since the field had been allowed to overgrow during its inactive status, it was also an ideal location for the character Harvey Stovall to post-war reminisce about his World War II service (which is seen at the beginning of the film) before the crew mowed and dressed the field to start the rest of shooting.[2]
Released by the U.S. Air Force as excess, the field was subsequently acquired by the U.S. Army as part of the Fort Rucker complex in 1952. It was known as Ozark Army Air Field until January 1959, when the name was changed to Cairns Army Air Field, named for U.S. Army Major General Bogardus Snowden "Bugs" Cairns, who was killed instantly when his H-13 Sioux helicopter crashed minutes after take off in dense woods northwest of the Fort Rucker, Alabama headquarters on 9 December 1958. He was en route to Matteson Range to observe a firepower rehearsal in preparation for a full-scale armed helicopter display. He was commander of the Aviation Center and Commandant of the Aviation School.[3][4] [5]
Current use[edit]
Fort Rucker is the Home of Army Aviation, where all of the Army's Aviators as well as many international and civilian personnel begin their rotary-wing flight training.
Cairns is the busiest airfield in the Army, training large numbers of Army aviators both day and night with an average annual traffic count of approximately 240,000 movements.
The Aviation Training Brigade consists of five battalions that conduct flight training at Fort Rucker at three training sites. 1st Battalion, 223d Aviation Regiment, Cairns Army Airfield and Knox Army Heliport conducts flight training in the CH-47, C-12 and conducts the Maintenance Test Pilot Courses, it also provides evaluations of flight training for contractors.
Cairns AAF has two asphalt paved runways: 6/24 is 4,546 by 150 feet (1,386 x 46 m) and 18/36 is 5,025 by 150 feet (1,532 x 46 m).[1]
In 2012 the controllers handled 245,000 aircraft movements without incident. In an average day tower operators handle 800 to 1,000 movements. What makes Cairns unique is the density in which it operates. The airfield may be launching 70 to 120 aircraft in the morning and afternoon, and then 50 or 60 at night for training.

Is it a coincidence that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is hearing from General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker today on the 6th anniversary of 9-11?
Of course not.
Was it a coincidence that every aspect of national security failed so miserably on the actual 9-11 morning?
The Reverend believes this is a good question to think about on this the 6th anniversary of 9-11.
Of course, others regard questions like this as "conspiracy theories". To these folks, coincidences, no matter how many, how timely, and how uncanny they appear to be....are still only coincidences. Any interpretation of these coincidences that suggests they are not coincidences are simply dismissed, out of hand, as expressions of "Bush hate" or simply a result of being unserious.
In commemoration of 9-11.....
Was it a coincidence that the names and pictures of 19 Arab hijackers were available for the media within 72 hours of the event? How could this have been possible?
Was it really a coincidence that both Towers collapsed in exactly the same way? Despite the fact that they were struck differently and their fires were significantly different in size and intensity?
Was it even just more of a coincidence when World Trade Center 7, though never struck that morning, collapsed in exactly the same fashion as the Twin Towers themselves?
Is it just coincidental that the Pentagon's roof mounted rocket launchers were not manned and/or used that morning? Are these on the roof for the defense of the area or for decoration? Would you think they would be part of emergency protocol or not?
Is it coincidence that the Secret Service did not whisk President Bush out of that Florida elementary school, knowing full well the nation was under attack? Is it even more of a coincidence that when Bush did leave, he took the time to step behind a podium for a few sound bites first? Was there an emergency? Were we under attack? Was it a possibility that Bush could have been in danger?
Was it also coincidence that over the span of time, close to a couple hours in duration, that not one fighter jet could reach any of the hi-jacked planes? Not one?
And finally, for now, is it just all one big coincidence that when the Project for the New American Century(PNAC) neo-conservatives, in 2000, said in an official paper, that attacking middle eastern countries pre-emptively and for imperialistic reasons, starting with Iraq, wouldn't be acceptable to Americans barring, "some catastrophic and catalyzing event....like a new Pearl Harbor."? Is it coincidence, then, that the 9-11 event happened and coincidentally we've invaded and are now occupying Iraq and looking to attack Iran? All just coincidence?
There are many more unanswered questions regarding the morning of 9-11-2001.....but for this the 6th anniversary of the event.....let's simply...
Commemorate the coincidences.

As we look ahead to spring, it's time to start thinking about which annual color you'd like to add to your landscapes.
It's a great weekend to get out a spruce up your yard and you still have time to add cool color to your flower beds. When planting, you'll want to make sure and include several inches of compost and after you have your flowers planted, make sure to add several inches of mulch to protect them. If temperatures start to drop, the flowers might need a little more care and maintenance.
For those who planted their annuals earlier in the season, you'll need to make sure and fertilize them on a regular basis by adding a good nitrogen source every four to six weeks.
The flowers will hold through early spring and then you may transition to your warm colored annuals.
