ATLANTA - Georgia Tech's 9-6 loss to Wake Forest in the Dec. 2 Atlantic Coast Conference championship game in Jacksonville, Fla., was so disappointing that tailback Tashard Choice can hardly talk about it, much less bring himself to look at the game film.
"I probably won't watch that game until I leave college," the junior said Monday.
Choice hopes the Yellow Jackets' repeat trip to Jacksonville - the Jan. 1 Gator Bowl game against West Virginia - will be more worthy of video review.
Certainly, Georgia Tech's season is in need of positive punctuation.
The Yellow Jackets (9-4) have failed twice to win their 10th game, losing by three points to Georgia and Wake Forest. Now comes the much-anticipated New Year's Day bowl game in a warm setting.
Georgia Tech players now say they weren't excited about last year's bowl trip to San Francisco, and the lack of enthusiasm showed in the 38-10 Emerald Bowl loss to Utah. Georgia Tech had a 2004 trip to Orlando for the Champs Sports Bowl, but otherwise it has been shipped west for such bowl destinations as the Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, Idaho; the Silicon Valley Classic in San Jose, Calif.; and the Seattle Bowl in the past five years.
"We weren't really that pleased to be out in San Francisco across the country," fullback Mike Cox said. "This is a great bowl, a Jan. 1 bowl. It's going to be on national television on a day when people want to watch football. Jacksonville is a great area, and we'll have a lot of support."
Georgia Tech players wanted to earn an Orange Bowl trip by winning the ACC championship game. Still, winning the ACC's Coastal Division sent the Yellow Jackets to a challenging match-up against West Virginia's explosive offense, led by tailback Steve Slaton and quarterback Pat White.
"We want to send the seniors off right," Cox said. "We won our division in the ACC, which is a good step. Winning this bowl game will get us off on the right foot for next season.
"Last year, losing the bowl game put a bad taste in our mouths. Winning this one would mean a lot for us and for our seniors."
A win over No. 13 West Virginia (10-2) would give Tech its first 10-win season since 1998 and would save players from having to spend the offseason hearing about three consecutive losses. A win also would provide momentum for the 2007 season.
"Personally, and I think I speak on behalf of the rest of the team, this is really big to get back on track for the off-season," defensive end Adamm Oliver said.

Slide Show: Making an Old Kitchen New Again
In my book, a great kitchen doesn't have to be big or fancy. However, to function well, it does require a few essentials: good light, sufficient storage, decent appliances, and someone who knows how to use it. Recently, I stopped by to check out the newly remodeled kitchen of Mary Kysar. I admired the work and products I'd seen from her design firm, Makelike (which she owns with Topher Sinkinson), and was curious to see how a ...

Before reading this i would like to inform that I am an amateur.So I have some doubts (may be misunderstandings..) and i woud like to post them here since i didnt know the correct place to do so.
##flexibility ##
the most important part in every strategic game used espically in multiplayer games.Basically my doubt aroused while playing age of epires 2 multiplayer.We use strategy similar to that of chess sowhile playing multiplayer it seemed that flexibility is most important part in it.So applying the same logic here I can't get any good conclusion since ive read in books that conditoned planing in chess is most important .
-is there any flexible strategy applied in chessgame .?if it is..can i view that game?
-What if there is some flexible strategies like....continous attack on the left side and sudden switching to right side leaving the opponent confused..and again switching it back to left since he may have changed his style of defense. ...
- im confused.. :( can anyone help me out in this FLEXIBILTITY confusion?
thanking you for reading this post :)
Sorry i can't help you. But, I invite you to have a look on this topic which hopefully will help you.
Flexibility is particularly important with pawns as they can't be moved backwards. To keep your king safe, generally you want to keep your pawns all on the 2nd rank directly in front on your king. That way if your king is under attack you can move any of them to the 3rd rank knowing it will be protected. If you start the game off with 1.h3?! and then castle kingside you have lost some options from defending against an attacker later in the game.There are many other examples of flexibility in chess.
The Accelerated Dragon is a variant of the Sicilian Defense where black fiachettos the bishop before playing d6 so that way d5 can be played later in one move instead of two. In other Sicilian lines black delays the development of the b8 knight so that it has more information about white's plans to decide whether it wants to be on c6 or d7.

Taylor Swift Gossip
Taylor Swift gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
"If she says sorry"
Jeff Kravitz/ Getty Images
Can you please just take a moment to appreciate the photo I've chosen to go with this post? The expression on both their faces? Do I have to keep writing? Isn't this picture the whole story? Fine. Katy Perry was killing time the other night and decide to tweet her followers. One of them asked if she'd ever collaborate with Taylor Swift. Full Story
Taylor's Friday night
Neilson Barnard/ James Devaney/ Gustavo Caballero/ Getty Images
Taylor Swift's post-Swoki media strategy/standard media strategy – friend armour – was played on Friday night at NY Fashion Week as she stepped out to support Gigi Hadid Full Story
Swoki timing…and Kanye West
FameFlynet, 247PAPS.TV/ Jackson Lee/ Said Elatab/ Splash News
I mentioned yesterday that for Taylor Swift, her friends are her armour. Here she is last night, back in New York, out for dinner with Lily Aldridge, making sure we can see that she's all good even though Swoki is no more. Full Story
Bond did not kill Swoki
Radar Online came out with a story earlier this week about Daniel Craig being offered $150 million to reprise his role as James Bond and now that Swoki is dead, people are all like, oh Tom Hiddleston Full Story
Taylor's tumultuous summer
XPX/ Star Max/ Getty Images
It started out great, didn't it? Swoki happened with a romantic Rhode Island kiss on the rocks. Seems appropriate to use the word "whirlwind" to describe what followed the next few weeks with trips to Nashville, New York, LA, London, Rome, back to Rhode Island, and Australia. #Taymerica took over social media. Full Story
Tom has friends too
As we've seen the Swift Squad knows how to rally. In good times and bad times, Taylor accessorises with friendship. Her friends have become her armour. They also keep her newsworthy and they enhance her "fun" factor. Look! So many people want to hang out with her, she must be the best! Now that Swoki has ended though, it's not Taylor who's giving us her friend face. Full Story
Swoki dreams, ripped at the seams
A long sigh for the end of Swoki summer, one of the best summers in recent gossip history. But when two famewhores break up, how do you score the split? Taylor Swift is a lot of things but she wasn't alone in the spectacle. Full Story
Taylor's next long weekend
PC-NWP/ Jackson Lee/ srpp/ Splash News
We're coming up on a long weekend here in North America. The last major long weekend in the United States was the Fourth of July, also known as #Taymerica. That's when Taylor Swift gathered all her friends together at her place in Rhode Island and invited us to join in through pap photos and Instagram. Full Story
Taylor's jury duty
Taylor Swift was never scheduled to attend the VMAs as we heard last week although every self-respecting gossip was hoping for some kind of Kanye surprise. From him, totally. From her? It was unlikely as much as we all Genied for it. But would she cockblock the VMAs in a different way? Fly to Australia, give us some new Swoki photos, or go Swoki Instagram official? Didn't happen. Full Story
Kanye West, Thought Leader
Theo Wargo/MTV1617/ Jeff Kravitz/ Larry Busacca/MTV1617/ Kevin Mazur/ Getty Images
If you didn't know Teyana Taylor before last night, now you know. I'm starting with Teyana because the VMAs belonged to black women. Kanye's free-reign speech was Peak Kanye but the video he debuted for Fade was ALL Teyana. Full Story
No show Taylor?
FameFlynet, Splash News
Taylor Swift heading to the gym today in New York. New York, also the site of this year's VMAs on Sunday. But, according to PEOPLE, she won't be there citing sources connected to MTV and Taylor who insist she's not going and never intended to go, regardless of the receipts. Full Story

Marisol's Marathon Silences, and Other News
May 3, 2016 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Marisol, the mononymic pop-art sculptor known for her carved wood figures and legendarily long silences, has died at eighty-five. "Marisol was a star of the New York art scene in the 1960s, breaking through with a 1962 solo show at the Stable Gallery that featured her bright, boxy sculptures of people representing a range of American life—everyone from the Kennedys to a dust-bowl farm family to the artist herself. The works, which combined painted and minimally carved wooden figures with found objects like shoes and doors, were funny but incisive, simple-looking but expertly made. They helped launch a career that included great artistic success and stardom, followed by decades of obscurity and, more recently, a revival and renewed appreciation of her exceptional work." (Marisol designed a print for The Paris Review in 1965.)
- While we're on sculptors: Liene Bosquê works in souvenirs. As Sarah Gerard recalls, "I first saw her work in the MoMA PS1 show 'Greater New York,' where she was showing a piece called Recollection, comprising dozens of hand-sized souvenirs from her travels, laid out on a plain, wooden table in a grid pattern resembling Manhattan's. Though the souvenirs are found objects, she also uses them to make molds for other small sculptures in clay or plastic. With a background in architecture and an interest in history's relationship to memory, Bosquê gives equal consideration to mathematical precision and sensory stimulation in her pieces—she has a rule that all of the souvenirs she uses in her work must be hand-sized, small enough to carry in her pocket as she picked them up on her travels over fifteen years. 'Something that's close to you,' she explains."
- Hold the phone, everybody. Paul Simon's dancing again. He's dancing and using cuss words. He's limbering up. "In June," Kelefa Sanneh writes, "Simon will release his thirteenth solo album, Stranger to Stranger, which is friskier and funnier than its recent predecessors—his most danceable music in decades. He meets his old nemesis near the end, in a song called "Cool Papa Bell," named for the great Negro League center fielder. 'Motherfucker,' Simon mutters … Simon doesn't apologize for his conviction that music should be easy on the ears. He has shown little interest in the grit and grunge that often signal rock-and-roll authenticity, and even now, at seventy-four, he sings in a voice that is boyish and clear. More than any other musician of his age and stature … he seems unburdened by the years, and by his own reputation. He has managed to become neither a wizened oracle nor an oldies act, and his best songs convey the appealing sensation of listening to a guy who is still trying to figure out what he's doing … Not long after Simon's fiftieth birthday, on an episode of MTV's Beavis and Butt-head, Beavis referred to him as 'that dude from Africa that used to be in the Beatles.' "
- You know that old saying, "It's always the inveterate masturbators who try to censor the mail"? Well, that's true. It's true now, and it was true in the 1870s, when Anthony Comstock, an intrepid dry-goods salesman whose diaries reveal that he liked to jerk off a lot, began his crusade to suppress erotic materials through the postal service. "As Comstock told it, a fellow employee at the dry-goods store became afflicted with a sexually transmitted disease after developing an interest in erotic literature. Comstock went to the bookstore where his friend made his purchases, bought some illicit reading material, and returned with a police captain who arrested the dealer … In February 1873, Comstock asked [Morris] Jesup to send him to Washington to plead for a more stringent federal postal law. Jesup bought him a ticket and Comstock boarded the train with an assortment of offensive items from his trove … Republican leaders gave Comstock an enthusiastic welcome. [Schuyler] Colfax allowed Comstock to set up an exhibit of his unspeakable wares in his Senate office."
- In closing, let us meditate, as we are wont to do, on the role of hedgehogs in Slavic folktales: "These adorable animals are predominantly found in Russian movies and fairy stories but they appear, also, in tales from neighboring countries. The Bulgarians have two particularly interesting accounts of the hedgehog, both of which point to his wisdom. In one tale, he advises God on how to use the sky to cover the earth, while in another he is the only animal not to attend the wedding of the Sun and the Moon. When asked for the reason, he says that he's busy learning to eat rocks, for if the union takes place and the Sun has lots of little sun children, all the plants in the world will dry up … In the Soviet animated film Ezhik v tumane (Hedgehog in the Fog, 1975), Hedgehog is the bridge between the conscious and the dream world, evoking sympathy from the audience as they watch him lost in a thick mist, chasing after the mirage of a white horse in the clouds."
Diamonds Are Forever
May 22, 2013 | by Adam Plunkett
Ever since I made the mistake of moving away from New York a couple of summers ago, I haven't been able to spend more than a day or maybe two in the city or in Brooklyn without thinking of the dancing in "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes." Of course there isn't any actual dancing in "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes"—it's a plan they abandon, the diamond-soled girl and the poor boy—but who would come back to the city a little bit older and sadder and think of the long nights on rooftops and not of the way that time collapses when you're young in New York and in love? She said, "Honey, take me dancing," and they ended up sleeping in the doorway. Time passes in that line from the start of the night to its aftermath, and the night itself is lost to memory in the way that everyday whimsy and arguments are, especially with wine, especially with pulls as relentless as those of the city's excitement and of the comforts of new love and home. The doorway is a compromise between the worlds that put them off-balance—the world inside the doorway, and Broadway. She said, "Honey, take me dancing," and they ended up sleeping in the doorway / By the bodegas and the lights of Upper Broadway.
Wealth: you couldn't have a story like this of Upper Broadway and not describe the shames and trappings of wealth, the extravagant ludicrousness of having diamonds on the bottoms of your shoes, the thin pretense of trying to hide anything. She's like a fable, the rich girl. You can hear her playing and taunting, fun and vain, eager to please and anxious to be reassured of what she knows is hardly true.
She said, "You've taken me for granted
Because I please you
Wearing these diamonds."
If she pleases him, it's not with the diamonds that he has to compensate for, and because she knows this but wishes that she didn't, she says please in two syllables and diamonds in seven, as if to say how silly—how crazy—it would be to want her wealth, as at least part of him does.
He gets there in the end, wearing diamonds, but not without denial, resentment, and envy. It's this self-consciousness, if not self-awareness, that rounds the song out into drama. She makes the sign of a teaspoon / He makes the sign of a wave. She plays at doing something, and he, drawn inward, just plays at reaching out to her, but his self-consciousness makes it just the sign of a wave, shy of what he feels is real communication. (Maybe his version of play is a pun like "sine wave," which, being a pun, feels too embarrassing to say.)
She makes the sign of a teaspoon
He makes the sign of a wave
The poor boy changes clothes
and puts on aftershave
To compensate for his ordinary shoes.
The rhyme with aftershave feels right, but it's hard to say why. Our ineffable certainty is like that of the poor boy reacting to his anxiety by fixing himself up—likely because it feels right and not because he thinks the uncomfortable thought that he has to compensate. It's the narrator who thinks that. His interpolation helps to set the characters off-balance with themselves and each other, excited and anxious, ready for the dancing that never happens.
After the twenty-fifth-anniversary celebration of Graceland last year, I worried that the album was dead. Read More »
Second Chances
February 13, 2013 | by Tupelo Hassman
My husband hung up the wind chimes today. This doesn't sound like a big deal, as my husband is a competent man and gravity is working as it should. It is a big deal, though, because these are big wind chimes, eight feet tall, made of steel tubes that gong when the wind catcher catches. They aren't beautiful to look at, nor beautiful to hear, unless you really dig church, but they are beautiful to me, and now that they're up, after two weeks at our new house, I know we are home. Again. This is our third move in five years.
I inherited the wind chimes from my folks. My parents had the sort of love affair that required them to marry each other twice. This would be more romantic if there wasn't a divorce in the middle of that, say, or if they weren't in the process of a second divorce when my mother died. Where some couples have trial separations, my parents had trial marriages. The family agrees that if these two were still alive today, they would be going for yet another round.
On the second try, they moved to Washington state, to a house overlooking the Hood Canal, a tiny, perfect part of the Puget Sound. For the nine months they managed to keep their romance together this time, the house was alive with the magic of second chances. Where the first album I ever remember hearing is Paul Simon's Greatest Hits loud on Pops's eight-track, the Washington trial marriage, fifteen years later, was perfectly timed with the release of Simon's Graceland. The house rang with Pops's voice singing along to you "You Can Call Me Al," a pointed reference to a past love of Mom's. This Al had died years before, but death brings no end to competition in marriages such as this, and Pops took more pleasure from it than he should have. Mom loved Simon's "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes," and would insist the song was about me, one of the prettier riddles I inherited. Read More »
Someone to Watch Over Me
August 14, 2012 | by Nica Strunk
When I was twelve and my parents' marriage was falling apart, my dad explained to me that he never actually wanted to get married and have kids. The only reason he did it, he said, was because it would make him less likely to be drafted into the Vietnam War. It never occurred to him that telling me this might hurt me. He was a successful musician and an esteemed jazz scholar, but he had virtually no ability to sense another person's feelings. If he were growing up today, his diagnosis would have been obvious: Asperger's syndrome.
I shrugged this moment off as another instance of my dad's profound insensitivity, which was so much a part of my foundational world that it didn't feel shocking. I knew he was clueless about the emotional bonds that connected us, but they were real to me anyway, and reacting would have been pointless. I had watched my mother pour her heart out to him, and he never once heard her. She could never make him understand how the things he did affected her—his charts analyzing how much money she spent on different categories of groceries at the Safeway, his refusal to break his routine when she needed to talk. "Make an appointment," he told her, and the emotional response that followed didn't even pass his notice. He didn't get that channel.

Cool: Old Houston Photos Mashed with Their Present-Day Houston Equivalent
Houston Press staffer Abrahán Garza likes to meld Houston's past and present together.
He goes around town matching up old postcards to present-day sites, something he saw on the Web a year or so ago.
"I'll find a remnant in the old photo I will try to match it up perfectly," he says. "It's definitely a plus when it's an existing window or a doorway. I love when locations still have the original awnings, windowpanes or doors. I believe it's sad when I find a location that is now a parking lot where once stood a beautiful, interesting building with detailed, thought-out architecture that no one would ever know about today."
Some of the results so far:
9. Upstairs on the Square and Huber Seafood House & Oyster Bar (212 Travis Street), 1975
8. Main and Capitol streets in 1943. The Flying Saucer is at this current location on the left.
7. Main Street at Capitol Street in the 1930s.
6. Main Street between Texas and Prairie, 1967. The Houston Press newsbox is for the defunct daily.
5. United States Post Office, 701 San Jacinto at Rusk in 1939.
4. Main Street between Texas and Prairie, 1967.
3. Robertson Stadium, University of Houston, in the 1940s.
2. 1300 Travis at Polk Street sometime in the 1990s with the Exxon Mobile Building in the background.
1. First United Methodist Church, Main Street at Clay in 1946.

This has been a disappointing and challenging year for the Dodgers and their fans.
The incident involving rowdy Dodger fans attacking opposing fans in the parking lot on Opening Day was just the beginning of the bad things that were to come for the Dodgers in 2011.
The McCourt divorce and team bankruptcy issue came to a head early in the year and affected both the team's performance on the field, and the fan's support of the team.
There are many things that need to be fixed for the Dodgers to compete in the NL West. I have listed some that I think are the most important, and most obvious.

$5K donated to Food Basket
Creative Arts Hawaii, Aloha Grown and the Parker Ranch Store have donated $5,000 to the Food Basket, the Big Island's food bank. The donation will allow the Food Basket to provide 12,500 meals.
The three ohana companies strongly believe in supporting and giving back to the local community, so together they sold exclusive limited edition "malama" shirts during the holiday season, with all proceeds benefitting the Food Basket.
"Malama was selected as the shirt design because 'malama' means to nurture, preserve or protect. We must malama our community and make sure that our neighbors and friends do not go hungry," said a spokesman. "The kalo, or taro, was specifically selected as the shirt's background image because it represents family and provides sustenance, which is what the Food Basket provides for our local community in need."
The Food Basket provides nutritious and high quality food to local Big Island families, children and seniors who might otherwise go hungry. Visit www.foodbaskethi.org for more information.
Malama shirts are still available for purchase at the Aloha Grown store in downtown Hilo, the Parker Ranch Store in Waimea or www.parkerranchstore.com. Cost is $20, with all proceeds benefiting the Food Basket.

I know what you mean. It just seems appealing to me. You know, finding a group of close friends who can watch your back and basically going against all odds to survive . I know I probably wouldnt survive to the end, but I kinda just want to know how long I could.

Yet you still guarantee the death of almost everybody on the planet, including nearly everyone you've ever known, and ensuring your eventual death by dysentery or just starvation at best, considering the most likely option is getting ripped to shreds, picked off one by one. This isn't something you want.

Actually, it kind of is. I don't like people at all. In fact, I wish most of the people that I've met would drop dead. But even without that in mind, its just natural selection. If everyone was meant to be killed off by a plague, so be it.

Textron (NYSE:TXT) is expected to report Q2 earnings Thursday, July 17 before market open, with a conference call scheduled for 9:00 am ET.
Analysts are looking for EPS of 97c on revenue of $3.75B. The consensus range is 95c to 99c for EPS, and $3.31B to $3.83B for revenue, according to First Call. Textron gave guidance when it reported its Q1 earnings in April, but restated that guidance with a tighter range on June 13. The company expects Q2 EPS of 93c to 97c vs. consensus of 98c, and expects FY08 EPS of $3.80 to $4.00 vs. consensus of $3.98.
Analyst Views
During the quarter the company experienced some share weakness on concerns of Textron Financial's performance. On June 16, Gabelli downgraded the stock to Hold from Buy, because they expect credit performance at Textron Financial to deteriorate further during the rest of 2008.
Citigroup said on June 17 that it attributed the share weakness to concerns over Textron Financial Corp and fears that deteriorating economic activity and rising commodity costs will weigh on the growth prospects. However, the firm believes risks are substantially discounted at current levels and see an attractive entry point. The firm views the weakness as a buying opportunity and maintained its Buy rating for Textron.

This documentary brings the Russian composer to the present - radically: Based on Tchaikovsky's diaries and letters, director Ralf Pleger discovers an entirely new side and sketches an entirely different profile of the man whose mind and talent brought us Swan Lake. The film focuses on what it meant for Tchaikovsky, a homosexual man, to have to live his life in a homophobic environment.
"It is incredible for "The Tchaikovsky Files – Confessions of a Composer" to be awarded with the ECHO Klassik! I am beyond excited! This important prize proves that Tchaikovsky's biography is germane and ubiquitous; his story is not a distant memory but very much contemporary. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who participated in this movie, with Gebrueder Beetz Filmproduktion and ZDF / Arte leading the way. But above all, I would like to thank Pyotr Tchaikovsky who I consider to be one of the best film composers of all times. " – Ralph Pleger
Worldwide TV distribution of The Tchaikovsky Files is also handled by EuroArts.

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Dividend investors love to see companies that raise their payouts to shareholders. But in analyzing dividend growth rates, the one thing you have to remember is that a big increase from a small baseline still leaves only meager rewards for investors.
A quick look at the fastest-growing dividends among the stocks in the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC ) reveals that point with perfect clarity. With one big exception, the stocks that increased their payouts the most nevertheless still have relatively puny dividend yields. Let's take a closer look at these dividend growers, with a critical eye at whether they're actually delivering what dividend investors want to see.
Recovering banks
Among the top four dividend growers in the S&P 500, you'll find two banks. Capital One Financial (NYSE: COF ) raised its quarterly payout by 500% back in May. The move was precipitated by the decision of the Federal Reserve to approve Capital One's request for the dividend increase. Even under the Fed's stress tests, Capital One was able to withstand the theoretical nightmare scenario with plenty of room to spare. Even after considering the dividend, Capital One's tier 1 common capital ratio came in at 6.7%, well above the 5% regulatory minimum.
The other fast-growing dividend in the banking sector belongs to Zions Bancorp (NASDAQ: ZION ) , which quadrupled its payout in April, also in the wake of the Fed's stress tests. The Fed actually objected to some of Zions' proposed capital moves, requiring the company to resubmit its capital plan to the Fed. Yet just a month later, Zions made the announcement boosting its dividend to $0.04 per share quarterly.
The thing about these banks' dividend moves, however, is that their yields still remain relatively small. Capital One now yields only 1.7% even with its six-fold dividend increase. Zions has an even smaller payout at 0.6%.
Not flying so high
In the same boat is Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV ) , which quadrupled its payout from $0.01 to $0.04 earlier this year. Southwest didn't have any regulatory reason for such a minimal payout, but difficult conditions for years in the airline industry hampered profitability and made small payouts prudent. Recently, Southwest and other airlines have found ways to boost revenues through ancillary fees, and even though Southwest hasn't joined its rivals by implementing extensive baggage fees, it nevertheless has managed to improve its financial condition in the wake of high passenger demand.
The heightened payout represents just 30% of Southwest's trailing earnings, leaving room for further increases. The current yield of 1.1% isn't high, but given that most airlines don't pay a dividend at all, it still represents another way that Southwest stands out from the crowd.
Feeling energetic
The most substantial dividend among the four top S&P 500 dividend growers belongs to Helmerich & Payne (NYSE: HP ) , which paid out a $0.50-per-share dividend in June. That more than tripled the level from the previous quarter and marked an even larger increase from the $0.07 quarterly payout it made this time last year.
There are good arguments why Helmerich's dividend could be sustainable, though. The company has benefited from demand for new oil and gas wells, with the contract driller finding opportunities both domestically and around the world. Moreover, even at the new rate, the dividend represents only about 30% of trailing earnings. Moreover, among energy-related companies, a 2.8% yield is relatively modest.
Be smart about dividends
What these dividend stocks show you is that payout growth isn't enough to decide whether a stock is worth adding to your income-producing portfolio. You also have to look at yields to make sure companies are giving you a fair share of their profits.
Yet the exercise is well worth your time, because the simple truth is that dividend stocks can make you rich. Our analysts sat down to identify the absolute best of the best when it comes to rock-solid dividend stocks, drawing up a list in this free report of nine that fit the bill.
