Beer dinner with top chefs on Feb. 25 will raise funds for veteran
The Best of Milwaukee Beer Dinners series -- which pairs food from top Milwaukee chefs with craft beer -- is back this month and raising funds for a badly injured veteran.
The veteran is a friend since childhood of Wolf Peach chef Daniel Jacobs. Sgt. Ed Matayka was severely injured in an IED blast in Afghanistan in 2010, which required the amputation of both legs. He also suffered a stroke as a result of the injuries. His rehabilitation continues, and he and his wife now are expecting twins. »Read Full Blog Post

Sequel doesn't bother trying to be inventive — or interesting
When a movie's official website is called smurfhappens.com, it might be considered a fair warning about its quality. Actually, "The Smurfs 2" is not that bad, but it's definitely not going to rise to the top of the summer kids-movie heap.
In this sequel to 2011's "The Smurfs," opening in theaters Wednesday, Smurfette (voiced by Katy Perry) is questioning her identity and worrying she will turn back into the evil anti-Smurf she was created to be by the wizard Gargamel (Hank Azaria). »Read Full Article(1)

Does Journal Broadcast blackout hinge on Time Warner negotiations with CBS?
As the blackout of Journal Broadcast Group stations, including WTMJ-TV (Channel 4), on Time Warner Cable approaches its first-week anniversary, I submit the possible reason:

Chasefan has offered up some good tips there, but you might also want to look at how you hold the Trumpet itself. Are you holding it in what some call the "Death-grip"? That is, left-hand thumb behind the valves and the rest of the left-hand fingers all wrapped around the valves. It's a bit uncomfortable at first, but try 2 fingers above the 3rd valve slide and 2 below. You'll have to alternate back and forth for a while until your fingers get used to the stretch, but it's definitely worth trying.
This will alter the balance of both you and the way you hold the horn. It will give it a more 'up-down' feel, rather than 'fowards-backwards'.
It's hard to explain without showing you, but it'll definitely help (assuming that you even hold it in the "death-grip" in the first place.
Best of luck

No More Tamoxifen?
My mother had breast cancer so I always considered myself at high risk and was planning to take tamoxifen for prevention. I just heard that it won't help. Why not?
Answer (Published 10/23/2006)
Tamoxifen is an oral drug that blocks the effects of estrogen, the hormone that promotes the growth of some types of breast cancer. Tamoxifen has been used for many years to prevent recurrences of estrogen-receptor-positive breast tumors – that is, tumors that need estrogen to grow. In 1998, results of a study involving more than 13,000 women showed that tamoxifen can also lower the risk of breast cancer among healthy women, cutting the anticipated number of cases by 49 percent. However, until recently, no study looked at tamoxifen's effects on overall survival.

Weil Vitamin Advisor for Women's Health - Women's health issues such as menopause, PMS and menstruation can often be effectively addressed through lifestyle, diet, and prudent supplementation. Get your free, personalized recommendation - start now!
The latest on tamoxifen comes from an analysis showing that the drug doesn't change the life expectancy of many of the women who take it to prevent breast cancer. This is because of serious side effects: increased risks of cataracts, deep vein thromboses, endometrial cancer and uterine sarcoma, and strokes. In addition, women who do develop breast cancer while taking tamoxifen preventively are more likely to have estrogen-receptor-negative tumors, which are more aggressive and deadly.
Researchers at the University of California, Davis, looked at how all the tamoxifen-associated health risks affect life expectancy. Considering the impact of these health problems, the researchers found no benefit to taking tamoxifen preventively for women at the low end of the risk spectrum. While there was an improvement in life expectancy seen in this study, it was mainly among women who had hysterectomies and therefore were no longer at risk of developing any type of uterine cancer while on tamoxifen. Women who had not had hysterectomies would benefit only if their risk of breast cancer exceeded three percent over five years.
The study also looked at how much it would cost to save a single life at the current U.S. price of tamoxifen: a whopping $1,335,690 per year. In Canada, where drug prices are much lower than they are in the U.S., the cost per year of life saved was a far more modest $123,780. Even at Canadian drug prices, tamoxifen only seemed to improve life expectancy when a women's 5-year risk of developing breast cancer was at least 4 percent.
Bear in mind that tamoxifen isn't the only breast cancer prevention strategy. You may be able to reduce your risks by lowering your estrogen levels through lifestyle changes: get more exercise, reduce or eliminate alcohol consumption, eat hormone-free beef and dairy products (if you eat those foods), and have a first baby earlier in life rather than later. Eat soybeans and whole soy foods frequently, plus plenty of fresh organic fruits and vegetables and cold-water fish or flaxseed for their omega-3 fatty acids. Don't take birth control pills and, at menopause, avoid hormone replacement therapy.
Bottom line: unless you're at very high risk of breast cancer, taking tamoxifen preventively is unlikely to affect your lifespan. You can calculate your personal risks by logging on to www.cancer.gov/bcrisktool/ and answering the questions on the risk assessment form.

Wolves fall to Gig Harbor in overtime thriller
It could be dubbed an overtime thriller, but South Kitsap High School girls basketball coach Mike Allen said it wasnt thrilling being on the losing side of a 58-56 overtime loss at home against Gig Harbor.
The Wolves could make Allen forget about the teams last two losses with a pair of wins this week.
SK (2-2 Bridge Division, 4-6 overall) plays at cellar dweller Olympic
(0-4, 1-9) tonight at 7 p.m. before hosting a huge game Friday against first-place Central Kitsap.
After the abysmal performance at Port Angeles last Wednesday, Allen said he was pleased to see better performances out of his players against Gig Harbor.
But its the game against the Tides that will be harder to forget than Port Angeles.
I can forget about PA, Allen said. This one (Gig Harbor) will be harder for me to forget.
Whats tough about this game is the opportunities squandered by the Wolves.
SK held a two-point advantage with 21 seconds left and had the ball.
Allen said the plan was to run the clock out and force Gig Harbor to foul and put SK at the free-throw line.
Instead, the Wolves turned the ball over with nine seconds remaining and Gig Harbors Kelli Milham went coast to coast for an uncontested lay-in as time expired to send the game into overtime.
The Wolves had opportunities in the overtime period as well, but failed to capitalized, Allen said.
An SK turnover gave Gig Harbor the ball with 12 seconds remaining and a slim two-point lead.
In order to stop the clock SK players needed to commit a foul and force Gig Harbor to shoot free throws.
Instead, the Tides were able to run the clock out without getting fouled to the bemusement of Allen.
SK also failed to earn valuable points at the free-throw line, converting just 18 of 36 from the stripe.
We had many opportunities to win, Allen said. We just didnt capitalize.
An expected win tonight against Olympic would be a perfect precursor heading into the home showdown with Central Kitsap.
Were sort of preparing for CK already, Allen said. But were not overlooking Olympic.
SK is currently tied for third place with Shelton but there is still three-fourths of a season left in the league.
Based on SKs improved play over the week, Allen said there is still hope for the squad.
I feel like were one of those teams that if we all get on the same page were going to be very good, he said. Im not panicking yet. Ive seen a lot of improvements. I think its a process of isolating where the kids strengths are and using it in the right areas.

Police shoot loose dog in Fostoria
FOSTORIA – A Fostoria police officer shot and killed a loose pit bull after it aggressively went after him Monday morning on East North Street, according to reports.
Capt. Patrick Brooks of Fostoria Police Department said police had received a report of a large, loose pit bull that had been barking at people in the 200 block of East North Street. The caller was afraid the dog would hurt someone, Brooks said.
When Brooks arrived to the area and knocked on the door of a nearby residence, the dog again barked at a passerby and then began to go after Brooks.
Brooks drew his weapon, shooting and killing the dog, he said.
"It was extremely aggressive," he said.
According to the report, the dog owner was to take care of the dog's remains.

Vermont House advances pension forfeitureFebruary 16,2013
MONTPELIER — The Vermont House has advanced a proposal to block public employees convicted of certain crimes from collecting their full pensions.
The bill would allow a court to order the forfeiture of state or municipal employee or teacher pensions if a former employee is convicted of fraud or embezzlement.
Gov. Peter Shumlin made the proposal following revelations last year that a long-time Vermont State Police employee, Sgt. James Deeghan, had been padding his overtime reports.
Deeghan recently pleaded guilty and faces up to two years in prison and the repayment of more than $200,000 from his pension over six years.
Pensions typically are based on a person's last three years of income.

The stage is set for a career as playwright
Museum brochures, while functional and informative, rarely play the role of muse.
But for Jordan Harrison, inspiration lurks in the shadows of obscurity, where forgotten slang, bygone eras and, yes, even the pages of the typically blase brochure, have proven their worth as catalysts for the 28-year-old playwright.
Inspiration comes from all directions, Harrison said. I never sit down with a plan to say one thing or another about the state of the world that would be paralyzing. I think the best thing a writer can do is design a comfortable room where his sub-conscience can take over.
Harrison, who grew up on Bainbridge Island, participated in local theater and graduated from Bainbridge High School in 1995, is coming home to offer insights on his craft at 7 p.m. on May 16 at the Bainbridge Public Library.
The roundtable, organized by writing community Fields End, is free, and will address the question, How can you write for both the reader and the stage?
Though young, Harrison has formidable credentials. Hes in the midst of a yearlong residency at Seattles Empty Space Theatre, where hes been writing, teaching and producing since December.
Already the recipient of several awards and accolades, including a $25,000 McKnight Foundation Advancement Grant, he is humbled by his success and happy to be back in Seattle.
In the prelude to his current residence, the world was Harrisons stage. He has lived all over, from New York to Florence, Italy, to Oxford, England, to Minneapolis, Minn.
Part of the appeal of coming back to Seattle was that Id never lived here as a grown-up, he said. Its funny, but I feel simultaneously like a native and an immigrant.
Although Harrison assimilated quickly into the thespian world, a career in playwriting wasnt written in ink. Neither of his parents are in theater. His father, David Harrison, is a senior lecturer at the University of Washington. His mother, Cindy, is the branch manager of the Bainbridge Library.
A lot of my friends who are playwrights have stories about how they were staging productions at age 5, Harrison said. But I didnt know theater was something I wanted to do until the very end of college. I didnt think I was good enough.
Best bet
Harrison studied English at Stanford before completing two theater internships in New York. He was toying with film directing when he applied to graduate school at Brown University.
A story was circulating at the time about another aspiring film student who hoped a lucrative appearance on the game show Jeopardy would bankroll his education. Harrison wanted something more certain, and rather than taking on Alex Trebek as a benefactor, took on Paula Vogel, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, as a mentor at Brown.
Under Vogels tutelage, he developed a writing voice that led him to the first of two Jerome Foundation fellowships and brought him to Minneapolis after completing his MFA in playwriting at Brown in 2003.
The McKnight grant solidified his position as a full-time playwright.
Harrison then earned a grant that brought him back to the Empty Space, a theater with which he was already well acquainted.
Its the theater I have the longest relationship with, he said. Theyve read all of my plays and Ive seen enough shows there to know that it would be a good fit. It was about finding a marriage of aesthetics.
His plays, which have been produced all over the world, delve into the unique and fantastical.
In Kid-Simple, which premiered in 2004 at the Humana Festival in Louisville, Ky., the heroine is a teenage girl who invents a machine that allows her to hear otherwise inaudible sounds. When the machine is stolen by the plays villain, she is drawn into a magical quest to recover whats rightfully hers.
If it sounds outrageous, then Harrison has succeeded in his task to tell simple stories in a very complicated way.
Ultimately, he said, Kid-Simple came from his desire to do a live radio play about the power of radio, with the title coming from a term he found in an antiquated slang dictionary.
He tries not to force his writing and finds that inspiration often strikes unexpectedly, but fortuitously, for the patient writer, as it did for him in The Museum Play.
The play, in which the exhibits at a museum come to life and escape, much to the chagrin of entrapped patrons, was born of Harrisons fascination with bad natural history museums, but found its essence by way of a brochure.
Lost in a natural history museum in New York, he asked a security guard for directions. The woman gave him a pamphlet, having forgotten shed scribbled rants across the pages about her own frustrating encounters with museum guests.
Shed written, Im tired of these stupid questions over and over, Harrison said. It gave me the idea for this manic guard that became one of the central characters in the play. Sometimes the best ideas come accidentally.
As for his future, Harrison is content to let things happen naturally.
He still ponders exploring fiction and screenwriting, but has no firm plans to do either.
Im not sure what I want to do next, he said. My main aspiration for now is to write for a living, which is something Im very happy to be doing right now.

Findings of Cambridge scientists, published today in the journal PLoS Pathogens, show a new mechanism used by bacteria to spread in the body with the potential to identify targets to prevent the dissemination of the infection process.
Salmonella enterica is a major threat to public health, causing systemic diseases (typhoid and paratyphoid fever), gastroenteritis and non-typhoidal septicaemia (NTS) in humans and in many animal species worldwide. In the natural infection, salmonellae are typically acquired from the environment by oral ingestion of contaminated water or food or by contact with a carrier. Current vaccines and treatments for S. enterica infections are not sufficiently effective, and there is a need to develop new therapeutic strategies.
Dr Andrew Grant, lead author of the study from the University of Cambridge, said: "A key unanswered question in infectious diseases is how pathogens such as Salmonella grow at the single-cell level and spread in the body. This gap in our knowledge is hampering our ability to target therapy and vaccines with accuracy."
During infection, salmonellae are found mainly within cells of the immune system where they are thought to grow and persist. To do so the bacteria adapt to their surrounding environment and resist the antimicrobial activity of the cell. Research from the Cambridge group has shown that the situation is more complex in that the bacteria must also escape from infected cells to spread to distant sites in the body, avoiding the local escalation of the immune response and thus playing a 'catch me if you can' game with the host immune system.
A body of knowledge has been built using in vitro (test tube) cell culture experiments that indicates that replication of Salmonella enterica within host cells in vitro is somewhat dependent on the bacteria making a syringe-like structure, called a Type 3 Secretory System (T3SS). This then injects bacterial proteins into the host cell, which in turn enhance bacterial replication inside that cell. This T3SS is encoded by genes in a region of the bacterial chromosome called Salmonella Pathogenicity Island 2 (or SPI-2). Translating this cell culture work into whole animals, it has become accepted dogma that the SPI-2 T3SS is also required for bacterial intracellular replication in cells inside the body.
However, using fluorescence and confocal microscopy (which are imaging techniques), the Cambridge team has dispelled this dogma concerning the requirement for the SPI-2 T3SS for intracellular replication in the body. The researchers have shown that mutants lacking SPI-2 can reach high numbers within individual host cells, a situation that does not happen in in vitro cell culture.
The researchers, from the Mastroeni and Maskell laboratories at the University of Cambridge's Department of Veterinary Medicine, investigated this phenomenon further and made the surprising discovery that salmonellae lacking the SPI-2 T3SS remain trapped inside cells and cannot spread in the body. One idea is that this will in turn lead to the arrest of bacterial division as a consequence of spatial or nutritional constraints. Despite growing to high numbers per cell, these mutants are much less able to grow overall in the body because far fewer cells become infected due to the greatly reduced ability of the bacteria to escape from the original infected cells.
These findings call into question the usefulness of some in vitro experimental systems that, when used in isolation, do not usefully represent the very complex structure of mammalian organisms.
The team also presented a new role for the NADPH phagocyte oxidase (Phox) (a host mechanism which generates reactive oxygen species which can inhibit the growth and/or kill the bacteria) in the control of Salmonella infection. They observed that this system inhibits bacterial escape from host cells, and that normally the SPI-2-encoded T3SS counters this system to facilitate bacterial exit from infected cells. This highlights a previously unknown interplay between SPI-2 T3SS and innate immunity in the dynamics of within-host bacterial growth and spread. The research shows that in the absence of an active Phox, SPI-2 T3SS becomes dispensable for the spread of Salmonellain the tissues. Conversely, when an active Phox is present, a SPI-2 T3SS mutant grows inside cells to high intracellular densities but appears to be unable to escape from the cells and disseminate in the body.
Dr Grant said: "Salmonellais a significant public health threat. Unfortunately, effective treatments and vaccinations have thus far eluded scientists, in part because of a lack of understanding of how and why the bacteria spread. This research provides critical insight which will hopefully lead to new medical interventions for this disease."

Anyone that has been long Frontier Communications (NYSE:FTR) since the start of the year has experienced a lot of volatility. It began the year at $5.15 with a dividend of $0.75 per share, a yield of 14.6% and management telling shareholders the dividend was secure. The market was telling management that it didn't believe the dividend was secure, as was clearly evident from a yield in the mid-teens. Unfortunately for this author, who was only beginning to doubt management and ignoring the market's wisdom, the market proved to be correct.
The market often follows the adage, "Buy on the rumor, sell on the news." When the anticipated news is bad, often the opposite will occur. In anticipation of a dividend cut the stock drifted down, dropping below $4 on two occasions in the early part of the year. On Monday, February 13th, the shares opened at $4.08. On Friday, February 17th, the day after the dividend cut from $0.75 to $0.40 was announced, the shares closed at $4.78, up 17% from the Monday opening price.
The stock has taken investors on a wild ride. The price had fallen to $3.06 on May 8th and actually reached the $5.15 price where it began the year on September 28th. On more than one occasion the price of the shares moved 10% in a single day. And although the shares have not risen above $5.15, the volatility has presented nimble traders with an opportunity to make a lot of money. It has also made trading in options very profitable.
The Frontier Dividend And Taxes
Frontier's dividend can be unusual. Much of it has been classified as return of capital. This means that instead of it all being reported as ordinary dividend income, a portion of it is used to reduce an investor's cost basis. Eventually, when the stock is sold, the investor uses the reduced cost basis to determine the gain or loss.
In recent years, dividends and capital gains have both had very low tax rates. As we head towards the much talked about fiscal cliff, no one is quite sure how this income will be treated. Will ordinary dividends be taxed at a higher rate next year? What about capital gains? Will a potential change only apply to the rich or will it apply to everyone? Should one sell a position with a large capital gain to take a advantage of the low rates? Should one sell dividend paying stocks since the dividends may be taxed at a higher rate next year? This uncertainty has been one of the reasons given for the recent weakness in stock prices.
And, it's not just the dividends and capital gains. It's also the top tax rates. Wealthy individuals with large gains. or executives with significant gains in restricted stock units and incentive stock options, could become motivated sellers as the end of the year approaches.
Most of the trades discussed below avoided some of these tax issues because they took place in tax advantaged Roth IRA accounts. However, to the extent that the tax backdrop has an impact on share prices, there could be still be an impact.
Conservative Option Strategies
I am not daring enough to make successful naked option trades and find the time decay of the premium too risky. However, I have been trading covered calls for nearly as long as I have been trading stocks, and this past year I have written several articles about how covered calls can create significant yield opportunities while affording increased safety on an investment in Frontier.
When discussing the dividend yield on November 28, 2011 I wrote:
"Can an investor mitigate the impact of a potential dividend cut?" Using options or LEAPs, and taking the risk of losing out on capital appreciation, an investor can reduce their exposure. Currently, Frontier is trading at $5.39. January 2013 LEAPs with a strike price of $5 are trading at $0.75 bid. Buynig [sic] the stock and selling the LEAP will cost a net of $4.64 (excluding commissions).
How has this strategy worked? An investor would have received one $0.1875 dividend and three $0.10 dividends so far for a total of $0.4875. With Frontier having closed the week at $4.29, and if one includes the dividends, the investor would be up slightly on their net cost of $4.64. A straight long position, on the other hand, would be down $1.10, offset by the same $0.4875 in dividends and be in the hole $0.61 at this point. It's a difference between a 3% gain and a loss of 11%. And, both parties are likely to get another $0.10 dividend next month.
One month later, the strategy was again recommended as a top income idea for 2012. The shares were then trading at $4.95, and even with the dividend cut, the yield has been better than 8%. I also noted this about the call strategy:
The strategy still works (and, at the moment it is even better), although it may not be necessary to sell in the money calls. Currently the shares are trading at $4.95 and the $5 January 2013 call can be sold for $0.45. The net (excluding commissions) is $4.50 per share. If the shares are called, you make 11%. If you collect dividends, your yield is even higher.
At this point, it does not appear that the shares will be called, and the $0.40 dividend is providing a yield on net cost of 9%. If the shares are not called in January, the investor will get another chance to sell a call option, enhancing their return. All of which brings me to the point of this article.
Stocks with high dividend yields, like Frontier, tend to reflect the market's lack of faith in the sustainability of that dividend. Stocks, like Frontier, that have high volatility, often have high premiums on their options. These factors can provide an investor looking for income the opportunity to lower their net cash outlay, while simultaneously reducing some of the risk and increasing the yield. The downside (other than another dividend cut) is that the investor may be sacrificing some potential capital appreciation.
During the past year I have made several trades with Frontier, including the one recommended above. On December 7th, I wrote:
In the interest of full disclosure, I'd like to let everyone know that I do drink my own Kool-Aid. Although I missed out on the outstanding opportunity in the article because of the sharp upward move in share price on the Monday after publication, I still opened a new position in FTR this morning. I missed the December dividend but I made a small purchase using the in-the-money covered call strategy I bought 1100 shares at $5.31 and simultaneously sold the $5 January 2013 LEAP for $0.75 for a net cost of $5032.31 (including all commissions and fees) or $4.575 per share.
It wasn't the best timing, having lost the December dividend, and the overall position including the dividends is barely above breakeven. However, in January there will either be the opportunity to sell another covered call or the price of the stock will have recovered to $5 and the shares will be called away.
The idea has worked much better throughout 2012. On February 11th I wrote the following comment:
I bought more today (Friday 2-10) in 2 separate trades in two separate accounts using the type of in the money (or at the money) covered call trades discussed in the article. In both cases I bought FTR and sold $4 March calls. First transaction was at 10:56 when I bought 1100 shares at $4.06 and sold the calls for $0.30 - a net price of $3.775 per share after commissions. The second took place at 13:32 when I bought at $4.02 and sold the calls at $0.31 - a net price of $3.726 per share after commissions.
It is a strategy where I am expecting that these shares will be called before the stock goes ex-dividend in early March. If it happens as I expect, and estimating the commissions and fees on the sales, the returns would be:
$3.99 / $3.775 = 5.7%
$3.99 / $3.726 = 7.1%
Not too bad for less than a month. If they don't get called, I will be happy to get the dividend and sell additional calls.
And, in a subsequent comment on March 7th:
In the interest of disclosure, and largely because I have been told that my trading strategies are very complex (I never thought of them that way), I wanted to let everyone know that both of these trades have now been called, This was entirely expected as it made sense that someone would want to get the dividend.
The surprise was that the first trade was called last week. The second of the two covered call transactions was closed today nearer the ex-div date (the trade involving 900 shares and 9 $4 March 2012 call). Now if I only had another safe, conservative play where I can get 6-7% in less than a month... ;-(
In another comment on March 14th:
I just followed my strategy by placing a combination order to buy the stock and sell the $4 AUG calls at a net debit of $3.82. It was for 1200 shares and 12 calls. The shares were purchased at $4.27 and the calls were sold for $0.45. I expect that the shares will continue to trade above $4 and that they will be called away when the stock goes ex dividend in early June. If not, I will be satisfied with ten cent quarterly dividends until it is called away in August. Either way the annualized yield would be in the high teens.
Since the stock traded below $4 around the ex-dividend date, the call was not exercised until the August option expiration. The total return was $0.28 comprised of the $0.18 gain on the net cost and one $0.10 dividend. The return on the investment was:
.28/3.82 = 7.3%
in 5 months, and resulted in an annualized yield of more than 17%.
The funds received when the second February 10th trade was called were used on March 19th to buy shares of Frontier at $4.26 and sell $4 November calls for $0.45, resulting in a net cost of $3.81. These were called this past Friday, and since there were two dividends during the period yield was even better. The total return was $0.39 comprised of the $0.19 gain on the net cost and two $0.10 dividends. The return on the investment was:
.39/3.81 = 10.2%
in 8 months, and resulted in an annualized yield of more than 15%.
Current Option Strategies Available
An investor looking to take advantage of using covered calls has a few different alternatives for Frontier. Using the $4.29 closing price of the stock on Friday, November 16th, the options that I find most attractive are the $4 and $4.50 strike prices for January 2014. These are trading $0.50 Bid/$0.65 Asked and $0.30 Bid/$0.40 Asked, respectively.
The shares of Frontier go ex-dividend on December 4th, so it is possible that executing an in the money $4 option trade could result in the shares being called at any time. And, as long as the shares are trading above $4.00 14 months from now, one can be assured that the shares will be called at expiration. So, why would it be attractive to buy the shares at $4.29 only to sell them for $4.00 no later than January of 2014? The option premium of $0.50 reduces the net cash outlay to $3.79/per share. Selling at $4 any time thereafter would be a gain of 5.5%. And, because the $0.40 dividend is now being paid on a $3.79 cost, the dividend yield on cost is 10.6%.
Buying the stock and selling the $4.50 January 2014 call for $0.30 is a somewhat more aggressive alternative. The initial cash outlay would be $3.99 and the yield on cost would be 10.0%. The big advantage is that if the price does rise back to $4.50, the gain on the net cash outlay would be $0.51 on $3.99 net cost, or 12.8%.
Recently David Klein wrote an article about the safety of the Frontier dividend. My view is that the dividend is safe, at least through January 2014, the term of the option strategies recommended. However, there are always risks. There is the potential for another credit event or interest rates rising or taxes rising, or a political stand-off in Washington, any of which could make Frontier and its dividend less attractive. Or, one only needs to look at the destruction that can be caused by weather events like Irene or Sandy and the impact on Frontier's infrastructure. Or macro issues like the sovereign debt crisis in Europe or the military actions in the MidEast or...
I find the risk acceptable and it is currently my intention to open a new position using the $4.50 covered calls sometime this week by placing a combination limit order, simplifying the process and reducing the commissions on the transaction.
Disclosure: I have covered calls written against some of my Frontier positions, and may open a new position at any time. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Stuffed Chicken Breast with Black Forest Ham & Gruyere Cheese SauceFeatured by Grove Street in the Gold Wine Club.
6 skinless chicken breasts
6 slices of Black Forest Ham
3 eggs, beaten
2 cups panko bread crumbs
1 cup flour
1 Tbs. each of salt and pepper
½ cup diced onion
½ cup butter
6 Tbs. flour
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup milk
1 cup grated gruyere cheese
1 tsp. white pepper
1 Tbs. kosher salt
8 oz. package of wild rice
2 cups brown rice
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 pound diced pancetta
3 Tbs. picked fresh thyme
For the Chicken:
On a cutting board place two chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap. Use a mallet and gently pound out the chicken until the breast is flattened. Repeat this process for all six breasts. Place ham on the chicken and roll up. Take three bowls and put the seasoned flour, panko and eggs in each one. Start with the flour and dredge the chicken in it, pat off the excess flour. Place the chicken in the egg mixture, followed by the panko bread crumbs. Place the breaded chicken on a lightly greased sheet pan. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 25 min.
For the Cheese Sauce:
In a sauce pan, melt butter and sauté the onions until translucent. Add flour and stir for three minutes. Add cream and milk, bring to a simmer, stirring with a whisk — it should begin to thicken slightly. Simmer and stir until the consistency is enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add grated cheese, salt and pepper. Stir until cheese is completely melted. Serve sauce over baked chicken.
For the Wild Rice:
Cook wild rice according to package instructions. Cook brown rice according to package instructions. While rice is cooking, in sauté pan, cook pancetta until fully rendered. Place pancetta aside. Cook onions and garlic in pancetta drippings until onions are translucent. When rice is cooked, fluff with fork, add wild rice, onions, garlic, rendered pancetta and the fresh thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
