Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/2/2013 (1650 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A good stretch can be just what the doctor ordered. Yoga -- which involves more stretching than most activities -- is great for health. But stretching can go too far. You can strain things, or even -- in the case of reaching on a stool for an item high up on a shelf -- potentially fall, break some bones or worse.
The same can be said about seeking a steady return on investments. With interest rates in the basement, safe fixed-income investments such as GICs are paying a paltry couple of percentage points, barely keeping pace with inflation.
So a little stretching for yield -- from dividend stocks, corporate bonds and income funds -- isn't a terrible thing. It can be a very healthy 'exercise.'
Yet all this stretching for yield is getting a little out of hand, many market observers agree. The extreme thirst for income in a desert of low returns is pushing investors to extremes -- all the more now that some of the riskiest assets in the income market, high-yield bonds and dividend stocks, have had some good years.
"People are overly enamoured right now with yield-producing securities, which can be a dangerous situation, because interest rates are so low the lure of dividends and income distributions can be quite powerful," says Hardev Bains, a portfolio manager and president of Lionridge Capital Management in Winnipeg.
"A lot of people buying into these products probably shouldn't own them, because they're riskier than they realize."
Corporate bonds, dividend stock, preferred shares, REITs (real estate investment trusts) and the income mutual funds that often own these securities are not inherently high-risk. These assets often provide investors with steady incomes and/or good, long-term growth prospects.
But demand for these assets has driven up their price, lowering their yields and making them less attractive. Investment-grade corporate bond yields do not pay much more than GICs or government bonds, and many dividend yields on blue-chip stocks are paying less than four per cent.
Yet, a fair number of equities are paying dividend yields over four per cent. At first glance, a yield higher than four per cent sounds like a bargain, but investors must consider whether this higher payout is as good as it looks.
"When looking at a dividend stock, income trust or a REIT, the risks are the yield is not sustainable, and that there is a higher risk in the fall of the price of the security than you would get with a high-grade bond," Bains says.
When a company, for example, cuts its dividend to investors because its revenues drop, its share price often gets hammered.
What can often confuse investors is the higher yield on a dividend paid by companies that are on shaky economic ground, making them look like overlooked gems, but in reality they're "value traps."
"The reason the yield is so high is because the price of the stock has come down quite a bit," he says.
"And the reason the price had come down is because the outlook for the company isn't very good, and that ended up bearing out in reality."
So while investors may get a couple of years of good returns, the stock price keeps falling and, in some cases, their money gets wiped out. Two examples that need little explanation about their fall from grace as income producers are Yellow Media, publisher of Yellow Pages, and Eastman Kodak, at one time the largest manufacturer of film.
Yet, even more than dividend stocks, high-yield corporate bonds have been drawing a lot of attention of late because they've had good returns in the recent past -- something that isn't likely to continue in the future, says Bob Stammers, director of investor education with the CFA Institute in New York.
"When you're the last guy at the party, the opportunity's usually passed, and that's really where we are with high-yield bond opportunities," he says, adding the CFA website blog recently focused on this increasingly effervescent problem.
"The high-yield fixed income market is too over-bought, so values are at the point now where there's no price appreciation left."
Whatever you want to call it -- high-yield, non-investment grade, speculative or junk -- this asset class is fixed income in name, but it's really an alternative asset unto itself, he says.
"It's really not fixed income because it's credit risk, not interest rate risk, that's the play."
Like all bonds, high-yield ones are sensitive to interest rates. When rates fall, the values of these bonds increase. When rates increase, their value decreases because investors can find newly issued bonds that pay better rates.
We're at a point today where rates can't fall much more and are likely to increase, he says. But high-yield corporate bonds involve more than just interest-rate risk. There's a concern about getting your money back. If the economics for a company deteriorate badly enough, it might default on its bond payments and investors may only get a portion of their money returned, or even none at all.
Yet Matthew Shandro, a fixed-income manager based in Vancouver, says credit risk is less of a concern at the moment than interest-rate hikes. With know-how, underpriced, good securities can still be found.
"There are a lot of companies in the high-yield space that are great companies, but you have to look at it like you're a stock investor," says the founder of Fulcra Asset Management. "Instead of being happy owning a piece of the company, you're owning a piece of its debt."
But looming interest-rate hikes make these inherently risky assets more risky than usual, especially if their duration to maturity is too long.
"We buy investment grade and high yield, but we're keeping the duration to two years or often shorter than that," he says. "You don't want to own longer-duration high yields generally right now because in an absolute sense, you're getting returns that are far too low for the risk that exists."
Compounding matters for many investors is they may be investing in these risky fixed income and other high-yield assets, only they don't know it because they're buying income mutual funds or exchange-traded funds paying high yields dependent of the performance of underlying risky assets.
"I don't like the word 'bubble,' but there will be some nasty surprises," says Tom Bradley, president of Steadyhand Investment Funds, which manages an award-winning income fund.
"There are some products out there that are paying out too much yield and just can't sustain it."
If rates rise or economic conditions go south -- or both -- investors in high-income funds may find the yield they thought they were getting when they purchased the fund is not a return on investment. It's a return on capital. They're getting paid back the money they invested, which is actually a loss.
In other words, it's become more important than ever when stretching for yield to be careful what you're reaching for -- especially when it's that trendy sausage of an investment called the income fund.
Is it mostly prime cuts you're getting, or snouts and hooves?
Quick facts:
Income always has its place: Just because we're at the end of a long bull run in the fixed-income market, which started in the early '80s with record-high interest rates in the double digits and continued to fall until 2008/2009 remaining low ever since, doesn't mean investors should stay away from these assets. If you need income from your investments, these assets are essential. Yet it's critical to understand how you're earning that income so you're comfortable with the risks. If you're buying a bond and you plan to own it to maturity, then the yield you're earning is effectively the interest payment you'll get until the bond matures. If rates rise, this will have no effect on what you earn unless you want to sell it on the market. In that case, you'll receive less than what you paid for it and incur a capital loss. With income funds, good managers should be aware of the hazards and steer the fund clear of danger, says Bob Stammers with the CFA Institute. But you also want to differentiate the yield paid by the fund from the earnings from assets in the fund. To do this, you need to look for the yield to maturity of the assets within the fund.
Understanding dividends: When evaluating a stock that pays a dividend, analysts use a number of metrics, but one of the more important measurements is the payout ratio, which tells you the amount of cash paid out as dividends from a company's earnings, says Hardev Bains with Lionridge Capital. The higher the ratio is -- 90 per cent of earnings are paid out to shareholders -- the slimmer the company's margin for error in weathering poor economic conditions. Many investors use the payout ratio to evaluate high-yield dividend stocks, because if a payout ratio is too high, a company is at risk of cutting its dividend if things get ugly and, in turn, the market punishes its stock price by selling it off.
What about REITs (real estate investment trusts)? Everyone loves real estate. After all, it's a lot easier to understand than bonds, especially considering most people are real estate investors as homeowners. And real estate has performed wonderfully in Canada of late, so REITs, which invest in commercial and residential properties and use rents and capital gains to pay out distributions to investors, seem like a natural fit for investors seeking steady income. But popularity can lead to problems, Bains says. While REITs are not bad investments, they have some risks -- especially those paying high yields. These REITs are often highly leveraged. Leverage is normal for REITs, but too much borrowing -- just like a homeowner -- can spell big trouble, particularly if a trust is paying out most of its profits as distributions. If interest rates rise, borrowing costs increase too, putting investors at risk of seeing a distribution cut, which often affects the REIT's unit price. Another concern, Bains says, is the high price of real estate. Many REITS are trading near their net asset values -- the worth of their assets. This may sound about right; you get what you pay for. But the problem is real estate may be at its peak price -- at least in Canada -- and prices could drop, hurting REITs' asset values, affecting their price and possibly payouts to investors.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - There are plenty of people who are having a hard time deciding what to do about this year's taxes, especially when it comes to writing check to their favorite charities.
The question is wait, or not to wait? This is because no one is sure what's on the other side of the fiscal cliff. That uncertainty is affecting almost every non-profit.
The unknown has folks holding back, holding onto money they would otherwise donate to charities like the Daniel Foundation.
"We will be running on the hamster wheel twice as hard in order to be able to achieve the plans that we have for raising money for Daniel," said David Ashley with the Daniel Foundation.
Some hoard their money while others just hold out for next year. If Congress doesn't change any of the limits on charitable giving, certified public accountant Mark Patrick says you'll get more bang for your buck in 2013 when taxes will be higher.
"But if all of our rates go up, which the fiscal cliff is proposing would happen, then we would have higher rates and you would get a larger benefit," said Patrick. "But since you are paying more taxes, then you might not have the money to donate so it all goes around."
For that reason, many charities like the Daniel Foundation have seen a drop in the amount of money they've gotten this holiday season, a season that traditionally is full of giving because of Christmas spirit and the end of a tax year.
Folks at Goodwill say there are plenty who are doing just that. They have 200 to 300 people donating at the Mandarin Center each day and potential caps to charitable giving are likely to blame. They are a part of the President's plan and Patrick said it would change your refund.

Man Of The House
What's Brad Pitt doing in the Lower Ninth Ward? Helping to rebuild the hurricane-devastated community, sustainably. Late last year, Pitt launched the Make It Right project to develop green, affordable, safe homes for 150 families displaced by Katrina; the first house is expected to be finished by summer's end. Designed by visionary architects, some from as far afield as Ghana and Japan, the homes are modern pods set on stilts to promote natural cooling and combat flood damage. They're outfitted with solar panels and front porches that encourage that Southern tradition: visitin'. So far, Pitt has ponied up $5 million to offset the cost to residents, who are eligible for need-based financing, and more than half of the 150 homes have been sponsored by donors, who include Donna Karan, Lorne Michaels, Warren Buffett, and Don Henley. You, your friends, and their friends can pool resources to sponsor one too, at Makeitrightnola.org.

I saw a post on Twitter recently from a celebrity (Kaley Cuoco), which said people need to take action and stop the Farm Bill and the King Amendment. Of course, it was an endorsement for the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). As I clicked on the link and read about the King Amendment, it became clear to me that movie stars should not be spokespeople for what agriculturists do. There are some things in the King Amendment that I do not agree with, but there are things in this bill that allow us to be a top producing country in meat. It frustrates me that people who have never seen or worked on an animal operation can back these things up. I take pride in what I do and because celebrities say it is bad, without background knowledge, people will take their word for it because they are popular.
It scares me to see how uneducated Americans are about what goes on in the agricultural industry. I take for granted my knowledge of where food comes from and the lengths we go through to get it. I take for granted that agriculture is the basis of our country and without it we would crumble.
People just don't understand how great we have it here in the United States. We pay about 11 percent of our income on food. Most countries pay three times that amount. In my life, I strive to be an advocate of agriculture and want to help this nation learn that what we do is helping the world. I want to educate America on how important farmers and animal producers are to this country and the world.

THREE attempts to trick elderly or vulnerable victims into revealing their bank details in under 34 hours are being linked by police.
In each case the telephone callers were posing a police officers and West Mercia Police is urging people across Worcestershire to beware of fraudulent and bogus calls as well as reminding them not to give out their personal banking details or PIN numbers.
In one incident on Wednesday, February 26, an elderly man in Worcester was tricked into handing over £6,000 when callers posing as police officers claimed his bank account had been cloned and they needed the bank notes to carry out forensic investigations.
In another case in the city, £250 was stolen from a bank account after an elderly victim was persuaded to hand over bank cards.
In all the incidents victims are contacted by telephone, by fraudsters posing as officers from the Metropolitan Police, and various stories are used to trick people into thinking they are victims of bank account fraud and in most cases a courier is sent to collect the cards.
A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said: "You should never reveal your personal bank details or the PIN number for your bank cards to anyone.
"Your bank and the police will never contact you by phone to ask for this information. Victims should refuse to give any details and end the call immediately.
"In addition a police officer calling at your door will carry a warrant card which shows their name, number and a photograph as well as the force they work for. If you have any doubts you should call the police on 101 and ask for the name to be verified."
Anyone with information should call the police on the non emergency number 101 and ask for Worcester CID.

Man Gets Life In Prison For Shooting Warden And Killing Another Person
AUSTIN, Texas — In the 47th district Court in Amarillo last week, Seledonio Sanchez Cabrera was sentenced to two life terms for a December shooting that left one person dead and a game warden seriously injured.
Game Warden Billy Hefley was responding to 911 call near the Canadian River about a woman being shot. The suspect pulled out a .38-caliber weapon and shot Hefley in the cheek and arm. The suspect shot and killed one other person before Hefley arrived.
The suspect pleaded guilty to all charges, which were murder and assault on a public servant.
Maj. Mokey McCrary, Hefley's Regional Director, said "We're real fortunate he's still alive. Because of his training and quick response, he survived an encounter most people would have not. He intervened and saved a woman. So yes, we are pleased with the convictions."
Hefley graduated from the Texas game warden academy in 1988 and has been stationed in Potter County his entire career.

My Family & Food (Soft Cover)
112 Favorite Recipes from the Descendants of Larry & Janice Anderson
de Laura Holmes
Acerca del libro
I love to bake.
Anyone who knows me will tell you that. My mother and grandmother have influenced me the most, and I still learn from them today. My family is known for making homemade bread among many other from-scratch goodies: cakes, frostings, cookies, candy... you could say we have a bit of a sweet tooth.
My grandma and I were talking recently about all the delicious homemade food we eat when our family gets together. Then an idea came to mind—how nice it would be to have all the recipes in one place so we could pass them down to everyone in the family. And so this cookbook got its start.
I wanted it to be a collection of our favorite recipes we enjoy together, along with the go-to recipes we use in our homes. Within a couple months, I quickly collected over 100 recipes–for more than just sweets–and started writing.
In addition to my love for baking, I also have a passion for design and photography. Being an Art Director at an advertising agency, I knew I wanted to design my own layout and photograph all the recipes. And I've always preferred cookbooks that have a photo of each recipe.
So, after two very long years and countless hours, I have created a work of art for my family to keep and enjoy for years to come.
Happy eating!

OTTAWA — Sandy Vorhies, AMVETS (American Veterans) Department of Ohio State Commander,
journeyed north to Putnam County from Columbus on Saturday morning to
present charter documentation to AMVETS Post 2013. Before the flag
displayed in the Ottawa VFW Post 9142 assembly hall, Vorhies officially
welcomed the current membership of 40 veterans to the AMVETS family.
can't say this has been an easy journey," said Don Dorman, post commander as well as a Vietnam
veteran who was at the forefront of the charter application process.
"Many, many times I was about ready to throw in the towel. We have a
great bunch and I know they've got my back."
To begin the charter
application process, Dorman contacted the national AMVETS office for
what he referred to as a start-up packet. He said that the process was
trying at times, but assistance from other AMVETS posts helped make Post

members from Defiance, were present at the Feb. 8 ceremony.
AMVETS veterans service organization was originally founded as the
American Veterans of World War II in 1944 and signed into public law
by President Harry S. Truman in 1947. Public Law 216 made AMVETS the
first World War II organization to be chartered by Congress. The
original charter was later amended several times to grant membership
to those who served in different eras, specifically from 1940 to
"Any honorably discharged veteran of the military
service is eligible to be here," explained Dorman. "Doesn't matter where
you served or what you served in. We already had a list of members who
had been in the military but were not eligible for the VFW. We needed to
branch out to other veterans."
The post intends to host events for veterans' families and friends. "The Charter will give us the opportunity to represent AMVETS in any honor guard or funeral ceremonies," said Dorman. Future plans also include recruitment to form an Auxiliary unit,
Sons Squadron, Juniors unit and a Motorcycle Rider's Group. "These
subsidiary groups are a valuable asset to the AMVETS and to the

PHILADELPHIA - The University of Pennsylvania's Division of Recreation and Intercollegiate Athletics (DRIA) handed out its major intercollegiate senior student-athlete awards Tuesday night, April 23, in a ceremony held at The Sheraton University City. Five awards were handed out.
In the two largest awards of the night, wrestling standout Mark Rappo (Holland, Pa.) was honored with the Class of 1915 Award while women's track athlete Leslie Kovach (Irwin, Pa.) received the Association of Alumnae Fathers' Award.
The Class of 1915 Award, given annually since 1931, is presented to the male student-athlete who best exemplifies the spirit and tradition of University of Pennsylvania Athletics. The recipient must be a senior student-athlete who shows outstanding athletic, academic, and leadership qualities. The academic standard is a 3.0 GPA. Voting on the award is conducted by the head coaches of Penn's men's varsity programs as well as selected athletic department administrators.
The Fathers' Award, meanwhile, has been given annually since 1945 to the person who is recognized for her contribution to Women's Athletics at the University of Pennsylvania. The recipient must be a senior student-athlete who shows outstanding athletic, academic, and leadership qualities. The academic standard is a 3.0 GPA, and voting on the award is conducted by the head coaches of Penn's women's varsity programs as well as selected athletic department administrators.
The Norman J. Goldring Awards were given to Joshua Dembowitz (Cherry Hill, N.J.) from men's lightweight rowing and Cassi Henderson (Elizabethtown, Pa.) from the women's rowing team. The Goldring Award is given to one graduating male and female student-athlete with the highest GPA who earned a varsity letter in his/her senior year. Henderson also was recipient of the George H. Frazier Award, which is given to a graduating student-athlete (male or female) with the highest GPA who competed on one of the following teams: basketball, crew, track, soccer, baseball or football.
CLASS OF 1915 AWARD – Mark Rappo, wrestling
Mark Rappo continued his family's run of excellence in the Penn wrestling program, following in older brother Rick's footsteps with another successful career on the mat. A two-time All-Ivy selection, Rappo posted 80 career wins with two trips to the NCAA Championships and a final national ranking of No. 11 by Amateur Wrestling News at 125 pounds.
Rappo was a dual-meet machine for the Red and Blue, finishing his career with a 42-8 record in dual meets over his four seasons (including a 22-3 record in home duals). In his senior year, Rappo was 12-1 in dual meets, extending his home winning streak to 14 matches to conclude his career.
After two seasons as a spot starter, Rappo ascended to the starter's role in his final two campaigns with the Red and Blue, winning 51 matches over his final two seasons. In 2010-11, he made the most of his first year as the go-to guy at 125 pounds, winning a career-high 28 matches. In March of 2012, he wrestled his way to the title bout of the EIWA Championships, earning his first trip to the national tournament. At NCAAs in Philadelphia, Rappo pulled off the first upset of the tournament, knocking off the No. 9 seed in the first round.
This season, Rappo replicated his trip to the EIWA final, again earning an automatic bid to the NCAA Championships. During the course of the season he picked up four major decisions, three technical falls and two falls—including the team's fastest fall of the season in 1:05.
In addition to his All-Ivy honors on the mat, Rappo has been honored many times throughout his career for his efforts in the classroom. In 2011, he was named National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) All-Academic as well as Academic All-Ivy. This year, he was named Philadelphia Inquirer Academic All-Area in the men's at-large category.
Mark will graduate in May from Wharton with a concentration in Finance.
ASSOCIATION OF ALUMNAE FATHERS' AWARD – Leslie Kovach, women's track & field
Despite a career cut short by injury, Leslie Kovach will leave Penn as arguably the greatest distance runner in school history. She is one of just two outdoor All-Americans in program history and will graduate as the school record holder in the outdoor and indoor 5,000 and outdoor 10,000.
As a sophomore, Leslie became just the second women's outdoor All-American at Penn, and the first in nearly 20 years. (Chris Lundy originally accomplished the feat in the 3,000 meters in 1992.) Leslie earned the honor when she finished in 16:16.10 to place 18th in the nation in the 5,000 meters at the 2011 NCAA Championships in Des Moines, Iowa.
Her All-America performance was no surprise; Leslie was always at her best on the biggest stage. Earlier that year, against some of the best competition in the nation at the Penn Relays, Leslie made school history with a fourth-place finish of 16:11.59. That topped her previous career best by nearly a half minute, and knocked off Stacy Kim's school record (16:20.46) by nine seconds.
Possibly more impressive than both those performances, though, were the record-setting runs in the 10,000 meters. In back-to-back weeks, she shredded a 26-year-old record. At the 2011 Heptagonal Championships, Leslie capped the first day of competition by rewriting her own school record in the 10k. Just a week after posting the fastest time in Penn history in the event, Kovach became the first member of the Red and Blue to break the 35-minute mark as she took nearly another 30 seconds off her record with a fifth-place time of 34:51.93—nearly 90 seconds faster than any other Quaker in history.
In addition to those record-setting marks, and the school record in the indoor 5,000 meters, Leslie will finish sixth all-time at Penn in the indoor 3,000 and third all-time in the outdoor 3,000 meters. Prior to injuries that cost her most of her final two seasons, Leslie earned All-East honors in the indoor 5,000 meters and outdoor 3,000 meters, and was a star for the women's cross country team where she was All-Ivy and all-region for the Quakers.
Leslie is a psychology major in the College.
GOLDRING AWARD (male) – Josh Dembowitz, men's lightweight rowing
A four-year member of the Penn men's lightweight rowing team, senior Josh Dembowitz was originally a walk-on for the Quakers. He has served as a coxswain throughout his tenure with the Red and Blue and has worked his way up to the second varsity boat this season.
"Josh has always been an incredibly hard worker," said men's lightweight rowing head coach Nick Baker. "He has not only survived, but excelled on a team filled with recruited athletes and rowers with a lot of experience. He has always been eager to get better, which is why he's learned so much and has become such a great asset to the team."
During his first two seasons with the Quakers, Josh periodically found his way into Penn's boating lineups. As a junior, he served as the coxswain at the prestigious Head of the Charles and helped lead the fours to a sixth-place finish overall and fourth among collegiate teams. He then solidified his spot as the coxswain for the third varsity in the spring. This season, Josh has found a consistent seat as the coxswain for the second varsity.
Josh is a political science major with a creative writing minor in the College.
GOLDRING AWARD (female) – Cassi Henderson, women's rowing
FRAZIER AWARD – Cassi Henderson, women's rowing
Cassi Henderson began her rowing career as a walk-on at Penn, but has enjoyed a standout career that she hopes will end with medals in a few weeks.
As a sophomore, Cass rowed on Penn's varsity 4 boat that won its heat and then took fourth place at the EAWRC Sprints; one year later, she again rowed on the varsity 4 as Penn again advanced to the Grand Final, this time at the inaugural Ivy League Championships.
This year, Cassi has rowed in the critical 1 seat on the Quakers' second varsity 8 boat. (The NCAA conducts championships in first varsity 8, second varsity 8, and varsity 4.) Penn has the Ivy League Championships coming up on May 19 on the Cooper River in Cherry Hill, N.J.
"Cassi is a great kid," said head women's rowing coach Mike Lane. "She was a walk-on four years ago, and has done a great job of improving to the point of rowing in one of our NCAA boats each of the last three years. She has a tremendous work ethic, spending hours at the boathouse perfecting her stroke while also getting amazing grades and spending time as a tutor.
"She is the type of woman every coach wishes they had an entire team full of."
Cassi is an engineering major in the School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS).

Healthy aspirations for 2013
I'm not great at new year's resolutions, and my partner doesn't help much. He points out that resolutions are just a to-do list that you end up ditching at the end of January when 'real life' has gobbled you up.
But, this year, I am really aiming to focus a bit more on health and wellness, and a little less on decadence and indulgence. The great thing is that South Africa is a fantastic destination if you want to get fit, slow down or gear up, or take a health and wellness holiday.
Here's my list of feel-good things to do during 2013:
- Book a weekend getaway (meditation retreat) at the Blue Butterfly Retreat Centre in Tulbagh
- Go on a yoga safari
- Visit the Tswalu Kalahari Spa in the Northern Cape
- Take up slackpacking (hiking without the schlep), and if I get fit enough, hike the beaches of the Wild Coast
- Go on a canopy tour over the forests of Tsitsikamma
- Learn to surf in Jeffreys Bay (okay, maybe not – maybe get my partner to learn to surf in J-Bay)
- Go cherry picking in the Free State (during cherry season)
- Eat more raw food (and hopefully dine at Leafy Greens Café in Muldersdrift, Gauteng)
- Treat myself to the Africology range of pamper products every now and then
- Drink more rooibos tea!
- Try out vinotherapy when I visit the Cape Winelands, and finally visit the Karkloof Spa in KwaZulu-Natal, as well as ...
... spend more time in nature, go on more holidays, try to not take life so seriously, and not give myself a hard time when I don't fulfil all my new year's resolutions!

Valley food lovers rejoice! Arizona Restaurant Week will return this fall from Saturday, September 21 through Sunday, September 29 for nine action-packed and scrumptious nights.
The Arizona Restaurant Association proudly hosts this week of extravagant edibles to showcase the state's vibrant restaurant industry. This chef-powered event sets the stage for menus and dining trends for the fall and winter months and helps put Arizona on the map as a nationally known culinary destination.
"When you think of Arizona food, you may think of tacos, burritos, menudo; but that's not the whole story," said Arizona Restaurant Association President and CEO Steve Chucri. "There are so many different cuisines and foods available in Arizona beyond traditional Southwestern food."
Diners will have the opportunity to try up to nine restaurants during Arizona Fall Restaurant Week. Many restaurants have already joined forces and signed up to take part in this exciting event and the Arizona Restaurant Association is actively seeking more restaurants to participate in the Phoenix metro area and Tucson.
"We've got fan favorites like Beckett's Table, Binkley's and Lon's already signed up as well as newcomers like Searsucker, the Salty Sow and Taggia at Firesky Resort and Spa," said Chucri.
Other loyal restaurants like Monti's La Casa Vieja, The Melting Pot and Vincent on Camelback never miss a season of Arizona Restaurant Week and this fall is no exception.
During Fall Arizona Restaurant Week, more than 200 Phoenix area and Tucson restaurants will offer specialty prix-fixe dinner menus for $30 and $40 per person, excluding beverages, tax and gratuity unless otherwise noted.
"Arizona Restaurant Week is a celebration of Arizona's finest tastemakers and one of the state's biggest industries," said Chucri. "The twice yearly event allows us to highlight Arizona as a top culinary destination in the country."
Fall Arizona Restaurant Week will feature everything from superior steaks and burgers to award winning white tablecloth establishments throughout Phoenix and Tucson and is sure to satisfy every craving.
"There's something special about Arizona food. Some of our restaurants have been family-owned for nearly a century. Others have grown from new ideas and fresh ingredients," added Chucri. "And the cuisine is just as diverse as the restaurants that serve it. It's all on the table here in Arizona."
A full list of participating restaurants and menus will be featured on www.ArizonaRestaurantWeek.com with an easy-to-use interface for searching for a favorite local chef, type of cuisine or restaurant wish list.
Check back often as new restaurants and menus will be added as they become available. Until then, find out all the delectable details by following Arizona Restaurant Week (ARW) on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram.

From hashtags to reality, companies everywhere are hosting tweetup parties to create immediate buzz about their business.
As there are just certain things you can't say in 140 characters or less, local businesses, large and small, are finding that Twitter is a great tool to help them engage and reach out to customers, clients, fans and followers. Spread through the sweet chirps in the Twittersphere, hosting a tweetup party, meaning, "Twitter meetups," is proving to be an effective way for businesses to connect with users and vice versa.
"All businesses should consider hosting a tweetup for the simple reason that face-to-face communication and networking can build a stronger connection than online communication alone," says Melissa DiGianfilippo of Serendipit Consulting, a local full-service marketing, public relations, branding and event planning firm. "Tweetups are great for all types of businesses and can be held to serve just about any purpose."
Putting a face to the Twitter ID, such gatherings should be tailored to meet specific business needs. They are typically themed, incorporate guest speakers or entertainment, food and drinks, merchandise and most importantly, free Wi-Fi so attendees can, of course, simultaneously tweet about the ongoing event.
According to DiGianfilippo, "to be ultimately successful, a brand would want their attendees to be tweeting things they are learning at the event, photos from the event, comments made and interacting online and in person." Thus, creating a buzz about a particular business through social media.
With social media booming amongst all age groups, such face-to-face contact surprisingly holds a larger impact. DiGianfilippo adds that tweetups are "especially good if you are launching a new product or service that you can showcase. Give your fans and customers an opportunity to experience that product or service firsthand before it's 'released' to the general public. Let them be the first to share it online; they will feel special, and you will get some great, real feedback."
As such events prove to be effective promotional tools, simply hosting a tweetup could do more then generate good PR, but could also further a company with the help of honest, in-person connections and communications.

Cincinnati Casino Gearing Up For Opening Next Week
Workers at Ohio's fourth and last voter-approved casino are gearing up for the $400 million facility's opening in less than one week.
The casino opens its doors to reporters Tuesday for a first look since a hard-hat tour of construction months ago.
The casino undergoes a pivotal dry run Wednesday for invited guests only without reporters present.
If no major problems arise, the Ohio Casino Control Commission will allow the casino to open to the public on March 4.
Cincinnati's casino will be the last of four voter-approved casinos to open in the state in less than a year.
Casinos in Cleveland, Toledo and Columbus opened in that order starting in May.

The head of the Transport Workers Union has justified his use of a slush fund and a lack of disclosure about its use, saying it helped rid the Health Services Union of corruption.
The union's national secretary, Tony Sheldon, told the royal commission into union corruption that it was worthy of congratulations that money from the slush fund known as the McLean Foundation helped fund a successful campaign against allies of former HSU leader Michael Williamson.
"We acted in regards to the HSU; that was appropriate and I'd do it again," Mr Sheldon said.
But Mr Sheldon was also forced to defend a $7036 payment from the slush fund to his personal campaign to become national president of the ALP. He claimed he did not benefit from the failed bid to become Labor president as he had become a "target of the conservative national government".
"I wouldn't see it as a benefit, I'd see it actually as a public service," he said. "I ran on the basis of making sure we had a voice from the trade union movement."
When pressed about whether he disclosed the spending to contributors to the McLean Forum, he did not answer directly.
"It is within the remit of what people would expect us to do," he said.
Mr Sheldon conceded at the inquiry that, for a number of years, the NSW branch of the TWU – by far its largest branch – had grossly overstated the number of members it had when it affiliated with the ALP in NSW.
Fairfax Media reported recently that the TWU was claiming just 17,800 members to the ALP in NSW after previously saying it had more than 38,000 members. This reduced its number of delegates from 43 to 23.
Evidence to the inquiry showed that as far back as 2008, when Mr Sheldon was NSW secretary, the union had only 19,000 financial members while claiming it had more than 39,000 members.
"I'm happy to accept the figure," he said. "We've got it wrong and we rectified it."
The inquiry heard detailed evidence about a number of interventions from the McLean Forum in different unions between 2010 and 2012 including the HSU, the flight attendants union and even the TWU's own Queensland branch. It spent more than $300,000 from the McLean Forum on those campaigns.
The inquiry heard from another long-term director of the McLean Forum, Scott Connolly, also a TWU employee, who played an active role in toppling the Queensland secretary of the union, Hughie Williams.
The McLean Forum, linked to the national and NSW leadership of the TWU, had contributed about $200,000 in the bid to remove Mr Williams in 2010.
Mr Connolly played a role in that decision.
"The Queensland election was very much within the ambit of what those funds should and could be expended for," he said.
In 2011, a year after the defeat of Mr Williams, a new position of assistant secretary was created in the Queensland branch, which went to Mr Connolly.
Mr Connolly's pay of $124,000 is now about $30,000 higher than it was before the challenge to Mr Williams.
He rejected a claim from Counsel Assisting Jeremy Stoljar that there was a link between defeating Mr Williams and gaining a much higher salary.
Mr Connolly said he did not disclose to TWU members in Queensland that the money for the campaign came from the McLean Forum but added: "We were very clear where its money came from, friends and supporters."
He denied the campaign had anything to do with the national office of the union. Mr Connolly said that, while employed in the Queensland branch of the TWU in 2009, Mr Williams had threatened him with a $30,000 a year pay cut. He said that was the "final straw" in his later decision to campaign against and help topple Mr Williams.
Union boss slams $52m waste
The national secretary of the Transport Workers Union has accused Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Employment Minister Eric Abetz of wasting $52 million on "trivial" matters brought before the royal commission into unions.
Tony Sheldon, who is also federal vice-president of the ALP, said outside the commission the government could better spend taxpayer dollars on pursuing corruption.
"I'm calling on Tony Abbott and Eric Abetz to come down to this court and explain why $52 million is being spent on this royal commission rather than setting up a national ICAC, a national inquiry into corruption in the political sphere, right across this country," he said before being called to give evidence.
Mr Sheldon also accused the federal government of allowing big business including Coles and the banks to set its agenda in trying to get "Safe Rates" legislation withdrawn from Parliament. "When you pay the piper, they sing your tune," he said.
The Road Safety Remuneration Bill 2011, known as the "Safe Rates" legislation, was designed to provide fairer rates of pay for self-employed drivers to prevent them from driving unsafe hours. Business groups have opposed the legislation introduced by the former Labor government and strongly supported by the TWU.
The bill established a road safety tribunal to determine mandatory minimum rates of pay for self-employed drivers.
Mr Sheldon said the commission had wasted two hours on Thursday hearing discussing the pay slips of a Queensland union official. "We've seen the royal commission turn around, wash over the fact that those same elected officials took a wage decrease of 6 per cent," he said. ANNA PATTY

Spinal Cord Injury: Talking With Your Partner About SexSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Talking with your partner may help your sexual function, whether it be erection problems for men or lack of arousal for women. Couples often wrongly assume that they each know what the other person likes when it comes to sex, but likes and dislikes may change after a spinal cord injury (SCI).
- Talk about how the SCI has affected your sexual function and sex life, and talk about how you feel about it. Be open, honest, and respectful.
- Don't assume. Tell your partner what you do and don't find pleasurable.
- Make time outside of the bedroom to talk about your sex life together. If you withdraw sexually because of body image, fear of erection problems, or fear of not satisfying your partner, he or she may worry that you are no longer interested. In some cases, you may find that your partner is less concerned about intercourse and is more concerned and interested in foreplay and other forms of sexual satisfaction. Discuss the strong and weak points of the whole relationship, not just the sexual relationship.
- Identify positive areas, areas of conflict, and areas that need improvement. Come to agreement on how or if you will both make changes.
- If you have difficulty discussing sex with your partner, see a person who can help facilitate communication, such as a certified therapist.
- Read books with your partner on sexual health in those with SCIs.

Versace Fall 2012
Chez Donatella Versace the mood was Rooney Mara goth chick–meets–Flash Gordon galactic goddess. Guido's Rooney–bangs wigs gave all the Versace girls that dramatic look, and a cross motif also played to the Gothic theme—there were crosses silk-embroidered on a short black velvet coatdress; spangled in dark jewels on the bustier of a shapely cocktail frock; worked into edgy-looking black "lace" shadowed over a white sheath; embossed into a leather skirt to resemble panels of antique Cordova leather; and photo-printed on body-gripping leggings. There was, however, something more profane than sacred in those thigh-high boots—in a very saucy fishnet mesh.
Taking a page from her haute couture collection, Donatella revisited the idea of those arcs of gleaming steel to define a peplum or give greater emphasis to a bustline—like the lady of the House, the Versace silhouette is all about the hourglass.
Acid yellow and screaming orange punctuated the predominantly black-and-white palette, and the shaggy silken strands of alpaca added texture interest to a boxy jacket, whilst graphic little coats were spliced with panels of Oroton—Gianni Versace's signature chain mail, lending them the air of a sword-bearer in a forties Hollywood epic.
VERSACE—picked out in jewels like the letters in a medieval illuminated manuscript—tumbled over satin sheaths, and the same motif lit up the runway when the lights were lowered for the finale numbers.
Using a technique evocative of Paco Rabanne's sixties chain-linked discs and panels, Donatella used strips of rhodoid plastic, flashing crystal, and that signature chain mail to create this series of high glam minidresses and hobbling sheaths that seemed fashioned for a New Age Princess Leia.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo baseball team quickly shook off the rust after a two-week unplanned break en route to an 8-3 triumph over visiting Rollins College in Sunshine State Conference baseball action from Thomas B. Southard Stadium on Thursday evening.
Not playing since April 14, and in their first game back at home since April 7, the Lions (22-17, 5-11 SSC) appeared loose and eager to play, proving that fact with two homers, a triple and five doubles making up the majority of Saint Leo's 13 hits.
Leadoff hitter Chris Newcomb started things for the Lions with a triple down into the left-field corner. His team-leading sixth triple of the season put him in scoring position where he would score on an RBI groundout by Anthony Santa.
The biggest hit of the ballgame came from senior Dustin Brown as he smacked a three-run home run to straightaway center field on the first pitch following a seventh-inning mound visit by the Tars' coaching staff. Brown muscled the fastball over the 405 sign to open up the 8-2 margin.
Zach Miller registered the other Saint Leo round-tripper when he led off the third inning with a towering shot over the left field wall.
The support at the plate was more than enough for Saint Leo starter Charles Neely (6-4) as he tossed 6.2 innings, holding the Tars to two runs on seven hits. Austin Buck came in to toss 2.1 innings and pick up his third save of the season, assuming pitching duties with the Lions leading 5-2 and two Rollins runners on base.
Anthony Figliolia (5-5) picked up the loss for Rollins (25-17, 6-10 SSC) as he was hit hard by Saint Leo batters, responsible for seven earned runs on 11 hits.
Brendan Collins joined Miller going 3-for-4 in the win.
The Lions will look to keep their hot bats alive when they continue the SSC series with Rollins on Sunday afternoon. The Lions will stray from their normal SSC schedule as Saturday is reserved to celebrate the University's Graduation ceremonies. Saint Leo Baseball will watch seven players earn their diplomas before being honored in their own Senior Day on Sunday.
First pitch for game one of the doubleheader is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Southard Stadium. For the latest news, information, and updates on the baseball team, visit SaintLeoLions.com.

Run Command
From MEPIS Documentation Wiki
Run Command is an input box that you can use to enter commands without opening a console program.
To get the "run command" input box press Alt+F2 key combination (key combination might be different if you changed the default keyboard shortcuts). Another way to call it is by selecting "run command" from K Menu or from the menu that you obtain when you right-click on the desktop.
It is preferable to use konsole instead of "run command" if the program that you want to start doesn't have a GUI or if the output of the program goes to the terminal and you need to see it.

Miley has good handlers and I'm doubtful she will merge her brand to the brand of a convicted person.
Cyndi Lauper was a person with 10 times the talent and she linked herself to Capt. Lou Albano in pro wrestling.....her career nosedived. The good news is her talent ruled and MANY years later she showed the world she had immense talent
Miley has no talent...this could be a career killer
