Changes in farm legislation, expansion of new technologies such as biofuels, and volatile shifts in crop prices have driven many producers to change the way they manage crop production and risk.
A workshop, sponsored by Ohio State University Extension and Kansas State University, offers producers a hands-on approach to integrated marketing and production management that combines government programs, crop insurance and alternative marketing techniques.
The Risk & Profit Assessed Grain Marketing (RAM II) workshops will be held:
· Feb. 18, McPherson, Kan.
· Feb. 22, Bowling Green, Ohio.
· Feb. 23, Coshocton, Ohio.
· Feb. 25, Imperial, Neb.
· March 2, Beloit, Kan.
· March 4, Goodland, Kan.
· March 5, Garden City, Kan.
· March 11, Russell, Kan.
The purpose of the workshop is to aid producers in making decisions that may affect farm financial risk and income. Through a hands-on case-study approach, participants will manage a typical grain farm during an upcoming marketing year, selecting the type and level of crop insurance, taking advantage of available marketing opportunities, and making use of risk-management tools such as futures, options, forward contracts and basis contracts.
Tools addressed during the workshop include Crop Revenue Insurance, Revenue Assurance, Multi-Peril Crop Insurance, Actual Production History, Income Protection, Group Risk Plant, Group Risk Income Production, Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments, and Average Crop Revenue Election.
Based on your decisions, a spreadsheet software program will be used to identify the resulting financial risks and income effects. The respective outcomes will then be evaluated, compared, and contrasted. You will have access to a hard copy of the results for future study and review.
Instructor for the workshops is Kansas State agricultural economist Art Barnaby, who has been instrumental in the development of crop revenue insurance programs and their integration with marketing alternatives and agricultural programs.

ATLANTA • Wookies, Daleks and scantily-clad comic book characters called Atlanta home this weekend while attending the annual Dragon Con science fiction and fantasy convention. It's the rough equivalent of three consecutive days of Halloween held in high-rise Atlanta hotels.
The annual event features panel discussions on time-travel, round-table talks about the philosophical aspects of Star Trek and seminars on gory make-up techniques for horror film fans. Here is a look at some of the people who spent the weekend with like-minded fans of fantasy.

The United States has maintained a longstanding policy of not taxing bank deposit interest of nonresident aliens as a way in which to encourage foreign investment in U.S. banks. Furthermore, except with respect to nonresident aliens from Canada, the United States has not required the reporting of such bank deposit interest income to the IRS. On April 19, 2012, however, the IRS reversed this policy of the non-reporting of bank deposit interest. Pursuant to new final regulations under Sec. 6049 (T.D. 9584) (the "final regulations"), deposit interest income will still not be taxed, but when paid to certain nonresident aliens, it must soon be reported to the IRS. The final regulations under Treasury Regulations § 1.6049-4(b)(5)(i) and § 1.6049-8 will require U.S. financial institutions to report certain deposit interest aggregating $10 or more paid to nonresident alien individuals commencing on or after January 1, 2013.
Regulations Address Concern about Potential Misuse of Information
In response to concerns raised by interested persons about the potential misuse of information required to be reported (e.g., that deposit interest information may be shared with a country that does not have laws in place to protect the confidentiality of the information exchanged or that would use the information for purposes other than the enforcement of its tax laws), the final regulations define "interest" subject to reporting to mean interest paid on deposits as defined under Section 871(i)(2)(A), maintained at an office within the United States and paid to a nonresident alien individual who is a resident of a country that is identified as a country with which the United States has in effect an income tax or other convention or bilateral agreement relating to the exchange of tax information.
Reportable Interest
The new rules apply to deposits with commercial banks, savings institutions, credit unions, securities brokerages and insurance companies that maintain deposit accounts for nonresident aliens. In the case of reportable interest aggregating $10 or more paid to a nonresident alien individual, the payor is required to file Form 1042-S, Foreign Person's U.S. Source Income Subject to Withholding, for the calendar year in which interest is paid. The final regulations also clarify that a payment of interest to a nonresident alien individual that is subject to reporting under the final regulations is not subject to backup withholding under Internal Revenue Code § 3406 if the payer may treat the payee as a foreign beneficial owner or foreign payee. A payor or middleman can rely on Form W-8BEN, Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding, to determine where a taxpayer lives unless there is evidence that it is unreliable or incorrect.
Residents Subject to Reporting Listed in Revenue Procedure
Revenue Procedure 2012- 24, published contemporaneously with the final regulations, provides a list of the applicable countries whose residents will be subject to reporting under the final regulations. The revenue procedure specifically states that the listed countries are those with which the United States has in effect an income tax or other convention or bilateral agreement relating to the exchange of information pursuant to which the United States agrees to provide, as well as to receive, information, and under which the competent authority is the Secretary of Treasury or his delegate.
Accordingly, bank deposit information reported pursuant to the final regulations will be exchanged only with foreign governments with which the United States has an agreement providing for the exchange of information and only when certain additional requirements are satisfied. The IRS noted that, even when such an agreement exists, the IRS is not compelled to exchange information, including information collected pursuant to these regulations, if there is concern regarding the use of the information or other factors exist that would make exchange inappropriate.
The Revenue Procedure also includes a second list identifying the countries with which the IRS has determined it is appropriate to have an automatic exchange relationship regarding interest subject to reporting under the final regulations. The IRS currently exchanges deposit interest information on an automatic basis with Canada and will not enter into a new automatic exchange relationship with a country unless the IRS determines that an automatic exchange relationship is appropriate and the other jurisdiction is willing and able to reciprocate effectively. The Revenue Procedure will be updated as new information exchange agreements are signed.
Residents of countries not on the information sharing agreement list published in the Revenue Procedure are not subject to reporting under the final regulations. However, the IRS notes that banks can elect to report interest payments on all of their nonresident alien individual depositors as a way to address any potential burden associated with determining which depositors are subject to reporting. Thus, residents of non-sharing countries can become subject to reporting even though their country of residence is not listed on the Revenue Procedure.
Information Exchange Important
According to the IRS and Treasury, the extension of the reporting requirement is considered appropriate because of the importance of cooperative information exchange for tax purposes. The information gathered, as a result of information exchange relationships with other jurisdictions, can be utilized by the United States to identify potential U.S. taxpayers that evade tax by hiding income and assets offshore. Further, reporting to the IRS of all U.S. bank deposit interest paid to any nonresident alien individual will help improve voluntary compliance by U.S. taxpayers by making it more difficult for U.S. persons to avoid the U.S. information reporting system by falsely claiming to be nonresident aliens. Finally, and quite significantly, the revised information reporting rules are seen as critical in the context of the enactment of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), which, in part, mandates that foreign financial institutions report to the IRS regarding their U.S. customers. In light of the FATCA intergovernmental framework being negotiated between the United States and certain countries that, in part, will require foreign governments to cooperate to overcome legal restraints on their resident financial institutions to identify U.S. accounts and report information to the IRS, the final regulations are important in that the new rules enable the United States to have information to trade with foreign governments that are also interested in detecting offshore tax evasion by their own residents.

St. Thomas More earned its three-peat Saturday afternoon the hard way.
After defeating second-seeded St. Scholastica in the semifinals, STM upended top-seeded Assumption 25-13, 25-22 and 25-14 to capture the Division II title at LHSAA state volleyball tournament at Kenner's Pontchartrain Center.
Besides being the third consecutive championship for STM (35-8), this is the fourth in five years.
Tied 6-6 in the opening game, the Cougars used a 6-1 run to take a 12-7 lead en route to the opening game victory.
STM took control of the match late in Game 2. At 22-22, the Cougars scored the final three points to go up 2-0 in games.
"Our team plays very disciplined volleyball," Cougars coach Jessica Burke said. "Especially defensively, we play a very focused type of game."
STM's Sarah Trotter, the Division II Most Outstanding Player, had eight kills and 13 digs.
Catherine Aillet led STM with 10 kills, and Maddy Aucoin had seven.
Molly Jacobsen paced the Cougars with 21 assists.
"It wasn't just me out there tonight," Trotter said. "Everyone out on the court contributed in some way to every kill and every point we scored tonight. You have to have the dig, pass and set-up. That takes teammates."
Burke said her team's focus was the biggest reason for the victory.
"Coming in as a No. 3 seed I couldn't be prouder of this team," Burke said. "While some other people may have doubted our chances, I think our team never had any doubt that we were going to be playing for the state championship again. We are a young team, and we had a lot of underclassman really step up and help us accomplish what we wanted to do before the season started.
"Winning three in arow is special. Sometimes I catch myself taking this for granted. I expect my team to be here every year. For the school it is huge. Winning three consecutive state crowns means you have had a lot of girls over a long period of time work and play very hard. We had the raw end of the deal seeding wise, but to win the title you have to beat everybody. We did that."
Assumption (38-7) was led by Hannah Brister who had eight kills and Hannah Diggs added four kills. Caroline Gonzales had 12 digs.
Proud of her team's effort, longtime Assumption coach Sandy Fussell said her squad just ran into a better team Saturday.
"You have to give a tremendous amount of credit to St. Thomas More," she said. "They are extremely successful. We knew we had an uphill battle heading into this game. And I thought for the most part, we just could never get our offense going and where we wanted it to be.
"(The Cougars) just do everything well, and they took away from us what we do well."

NASA`s IBEX reveals cosmic roadmap to galactic magnetic field
NASA `s Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) has helped paint picture of the magnetic system beyond the solar wind.
Washington: NASA `s Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) has helped paint picture of the magnetic system beyond the solar wind.
The data sets show a magnetic field that is nearly perpendicular to the motion of our solar system through the galaxy.
In addition to shedding light on our cosmic neighborhood, the results offer an explanation for a decades-old mystery on why we measure more incoming high-energy cosmic rays on one side of the sun than on the other.
IBEX, which orbits Earth, studies these regions from afar. The spacecraft detects energetic neutral atoms that form from interactions at the heliosphere`s boundaries - an area that holds fascinating clues to what lies beyond. These interactions are dominated by electromagnetic forces.
The incoming particles from the galaxy are made up of negatively-charged electrons, positively-charged atoms called ions, neutral particles and dust. Charged particles are forced to travel along the magnetic field lines that snake throughout space.
Sometimes, a charged particle collides with a neutral atom at the outskirts of the heliosphere and captures an electron from the neutral atom. After stealing the electron, the charged particle becomes electrically neutral and speeds off in a straight line.
To see if the IBEX data related to the cosmic ray observations, Schwadron used IBEX data to build a computer model of what the interplanetary magnetic field would look like around the heliosphere. Without the heliosphere, the field lines would be straight and parallel.
With this model in hand, he simulated how the heliosphere would affect the cosmic rays. He assumed that the rays came in to the heliosphere evenly from everywhere in space, but allowed them to be warped based on the local magnetic geometry. The simulations showed a non-uniform distribution of cosmic ray particles that jibed well with the unevenness seen in observations.
The study has been published in the journal Science Express.

i'm not sure how often cvs builds are put out but i don't compile them myself so is it possible for xbmc to check if a new cvs or final version of xbmc is out on startup. for me i have xbmc on 24/7 so it might be better if xbmc could check every x hours or every x days...maybe xbmc could write to a file the last time it checked and then go on from there. i don't know if a new cvs build should be checked for or a new final version, i guess that's up to you guys.
i searched the forums and find it hard that no one suggested this but i might have overlooked it so hopefully people like this suggestion.

the cvs gets updated nearly everyday.
there have been very few real 'milestones' like xbmc 1.0 and xbmc 1.1.0.
many of the releases you see out there are just cvs builds done once every 3 or so days. you would be better served i think just by regularly updating like once every 2 weeks or so.

Why I Read It: I'm enamored with Lowachee's scifi books set in the Warchild Universe.
Where I Got It: Own it.
Who I Recommend This To: I think those who enjoy intense fantasies that have the clash of cultures at the center of them would like this book.
Publisher: Orbit (2010)
Length: 368 pages
Series: I really hope this is Book 1 of a series.
Sjennonirk of the Aniw comes from a simple, frozen world where words are used in a straightforward manner and she is a spiritwalker, respected by her people. After her Dog kills a violent Kabliw (outsider), Sjenn is taken from her homeland to the Ciracusan city of Nev Anyan, where General Farrell directs her to teach the Dog to his son, Captain Jarrett Fawle. The story switches back and forth between Sjenn's point of view and that of Jarrett's, capturing the two main cultures. Set in a gaslight world of seven deities and warring tribes and the ever pressing Sairlanders, Karin Lowachee transports the reader into the hearts and minds of two complicated characters.
It took me approximately 100 pages to truly get into this novel. At first, I was trying to read it in quick snatches of 3-7 pages, but that wasn't really working. This tale demands your full attention as you as the reader are forced into these different cultures. Luckily, I had to sit through an hour long MRI of my ankle and became fully engaged in the story. As long as I could give the book it's due of 20-50 pages at a time, I absolutely loved this novel. In shorter increments, I felt slightly out of place, like I was trying to engage in a foreign language briefly at the corner cafe.
With that said, this book took my respect for Lowachee's works to a new level. Her ability to capture another culture and mindset and transport the reader into those hearts and minds is well demonstrated in this book. This book will be one of those that I return to again and again over the years, each time gaining some new insight from it. This book has the cultures of multiple tribes coming into play, three of which have spiritwalkers. Up until Jarrett shows his young spirit, his Dog, Sjenn does not believe he can be taught, as it is unheard of for a Kabliw to have a Dog. Jarrett's father is unbending in his insistence that he be taught.
The book ends on an open note and I am very much hoping that Orbit (or another publisher) publish the rest of the series. I have a need for more Lowachee. Orbit, I'll be sending you a memo. MORE LOWACHEE.
What I Liked: The spiritwalker Dogs; Sjenn is strong without feeling a need to compete with the men; Jarrett is complex, angry, lost; after reading this, I felt like I had just spent a month in another culture.
What I Disliked: It did take me several chapters to get into it, but it was well worth the effort; PLEASE let there be more to the series.

What a treat these All for the Hall shows continue to be, and how fortunate for fans of the format that the series has returned to Los Angeles, where it began at the site of Tuesday night's event, Club Nokia, after three years in New York.
Such sublime moments: Vince Gill pouring high-pitched purity and traces of his club days onto Merle Haggard's "I Can't Be Myself." Jason Mraz lovingly saluting his grandfather – and wondering "what happened to the family farms?" – with his own tale, "Frank D Fixer," or getting very delicate and Damien Rice-y on "I Won't Give Up." Most surprising of all: the unmistakable voice of Emmylou Harris bringing grandmotherly tenderness to Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven."
"One of the saddest songs ever written," Ann Wilson remarked when it was over, Emmylou's fingers still mildly trembling and Gill's lilting licks still ringing in the air. "Right up my alley," the country legend replied.
Wilson, whose tremendous pipes had already shined alongside her sister Nancy's fretwork on Heart's 1979 gem "Dog & Butterfly" and a rich reading of Gene Clark's "Through the Morning, Through the Night" (better-known recently via Robert Plant & Alison Krauss' version), followed Harris' selected tear-jerker with one of her own: "Sand." An emotionally resonant piece that sneaks up on a chills-inducing apex, it was written for the longtime gardener of her Seattle home, who died of AIDS and whose ashes were scattered on the grounds.
Those are the sorts of unexpected choices that turn up during these guitar pulls, a gather-'round-and-pass-the-mic tradition dating back decades that became the stuff of legend whenever it was hosted by Johnny and June Carter Cash.
As a low-key but successful benefit to the Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum, Gill and Harris have re-established the practice with these shows, each year roping in both complementary legends (Kris Kristofferson was at the first) and left-field picks, like the multifaceted Wilson sisters and the oft-underrated Mraz, whose keening, lightly buttery voice and folksy acoustic manner fit the mold perfectly. It also didn't spoil the hushed atmosphere to have him engage the crowd with his hit "I'm Yours," the only truly expected song all night, though his explanation of the intangible spirit behind writing it brought out a new dimension to its romantic whimsy.
"I'm here for selfish reasons," he said before playing his first tune, "because look what seat I have." It was a lucky spot indeed. From that vantage point, he got to watch not only all of the above but a gracefully harmonized version from the others on Gillian Welch's "Orphan Girl," one of few tunes that wasn't compartmentalized by artist – although, total six-string pro that he is, Gill delicately crept into much of the set, adding subtle licks and solos on most everything.
Mraz also got to sit directly next to three guest stars: Rita Wilson, whose turn in the spotlight was a given (she also hosted), but whose lovely voice put across the longing for lost ones in "Still Gone"; Holly Williams, granddaughter of Hank, who scored the night's best story-song with her vivid piece "Waiting for June"; and adorable newcomer Cam Ochs, whose wide-eyed wow about her involvement was quickly bolstered by a high-caliber vocal on her song "Burning House." She ought to break into the Nashville mainstream immediately.
Amid all that were reminiscences about first concerts (Nancy Wilson saw the Beatles, Mraz admitted his was Milli Vanilli), Gill's off-the-cuff quips and heartfelt details of home life with wife Amy Grant, memories of Hee Haw and a closing tribute to the late George Jones, via "Bartender's Blues."
An unassumingly special night indeed. Like Ann Wilson said after singing the Clark song: "That was one for the bucket list."
All for the Hall: Together Again (Vince Gill) / Home Sweet Home (Emmylou Harris) / Dog and Butterfly (Ann & Nancy Wilson) / Frank D Fixer (Jason Mraz) / Still Gone (Rita Wilson) / I Can't Be Myself (Gill, Merle Haggard cover) / Orphan Girl (Harris, Gillian Welch cover) / Through the Morning, Through the Night (Wilson sisters, Gene Clark cover) / I Won't Give Up (Mraz) / Waiting on June (Holly Williams) / Whenever You Come Around (Gill) / Tears in Heaven (Harris, Eric Clapton cover) / Sand (Wilson sisters) / I'm Yours (Mraz) / Burning House (Cam Ochs) / Bartender's Blues (Gill and everyone, George Jones cover)

Hi, I've just written a bit of Scheme code that traverses the collection directories and creates a list of available modules (so that i can get module path completion in emacs). Since it's a big list, i cache it; but now imagine that i require, say, a new PLaneT package in the same mzscheme session: my cache becomes stale. Is there any way of 'intercepting' calls to REQUIRE, or some other technique allowing me to keep the module list fresh? Thanks! jao -- Lisp has assisted a number of our most gifted fellow humans in thinking previously impossible thoughts. —Edsger Dijkstra

The American Dream takes different shapes for those who pursue it.
For Jamaican national Angela Manigault, the dream took her a world away and landed her in the service of Uncle Sam.
"It was a shock at first," Manigault said. "Everyone was so tall, they smoked, they talked funny. I had envisioned golden roads in America."
Her mother moved to Wisconsin when Manigault was a child and it took 16 years for her and her siblings to follow.
Although Manigault has fond memories of her native land, her family suffered impoverished conditions there and came to America for a better life.
The retired sergeant joined the Army in 1977, fresh from high school, where she became a medic. She now works as a nursing assistant at Darnall Army Medical Center on Fort Hood.
She recently published a book entitled "Poems from the Heart," a collection of work inspired by her time with the Army.
Manigault discovered her love of poetry after pursuing it as a hobby, writing poems for friends. She would mat and frame them as gifts, never with the thought that someday she would write a book.
"I write to encourage people. I write so that people enjoy it," Manigault said. "If it makes someone's day, I've gotten my reward."
Her poem "American Soldier," is dedicated to the families who have lost loved ones while serving in the military.
Manigault wrote "Soldier's Dream" when she was stationed in the Persian Gulf during Desert Storm in 1992.
The poem details the reason why people go off to war and fight. Manigault said she joined the Army to ensure her children had the same freedoms and privileges she found in America.
Someday she wants to go back to Jamaica and help the people of her home country, but said there are people in Killeen who need help first. She also wants to start a scholarship for underprivileged children.
"You've got people who are suffering," she said. "I can't take care of every soldier suffering, but if I just help one, that makes a difference. America has been a blessing to me. This has been a way of giving back."

What: Angela Manigault book signing
Where: Clear Creek Main Exchange on Fort Hood

If that is a roadblock, and Charla does it, I'm going to be dissapointed, I would really rather see Mirna do something for a change.Originally Posted by DarKensoul7

In the preview it shows Charla sitting in the taxi (maybe Mirna too I dont remember) and C&C running up to them. I think its a rash judgement to pass when we only saw a brief clip.As usual, Mirna gets on her way to "steal" a taxi and calling the rightful people who searched for the taxi "maniacs."
As for Charla doing the task I think I would want the smallest person on my team doing a crawling challenge And I bet we will see the likes of Christie & Nicole doing them as well.

I have a hard time trusting Mirna and Charla. After their incident with the brothers in the airport and with C&C at the Buenos Aires bus station, I can easily see them stealing someone's taxi. This may finally be the incident that sends Colin over the edge.
I have a big question.
We've already seen the previews for this on the TV. So it's obvious that the two fighting teams for taxi's are Charla and Mirna and Colin and Christie. Here's my question. What bottleneck could possibly be so bad that Colin and Christie's 12 hour lead get's blown??? Unless Colin becomes spontaniously retarded or something, I can't see that happening.
People struggling in the sand...hmm...my guess for this is also Lance and Marshall...but then again, remember when Charla yelled to Mirna that 'She can't run on the sand' in Episode 5? Maybe it's her that has sand digging problems...
Any which way, I'd like to see how the bowling moms get over this obstacle...that is, if they ever DO get over it...
There was a mention of digging in the sand, if I remember right C&C got to the pit stop around 11:30 am.... meaning they will leave around 11:30 pm. If they go somewhere to dig in the sand it very well be a business that opens at 8 or 9 am. C&M will be leaving around 6 am I believe. Very easy to catch up if this is the case. I have no idea if this is right or not but i am just going on what I remember.
About the taxi thing. If Colin and Christie walk away from the cab, It's free for anyone to take. About the Roadblock, Isn't it a perfect one for Charla? Sure, Mirna should do one, but this is not one for her. You got to use your advantages, and Charla's is her size in this case.
I hope one of the Super Fat Bros. gets stuck.

I agree that any taxi left alone is up for grabs. It happened .. last year? The year before? With Teri and Ian claiming a taxi was there's only because they rode in it to the roadblock/detour whatever it was.
If the cabbie promised to wait, then the cabbie is at fault for not kicking the other team out.
I also agree that even though I'd like to see Mirna do a challenge, it sounds as though this is one that is perfect for charla.
I will laugh my butt off if the teams catch C&C before the first challenge.

This pattern is available for free.
The first design in my series inspired by container ships and ship breaking, this cowl is named for the stacks of containers in the working shipyard of Port Elizabeth, New Jersey, which I drive past on my trips from Boston to the Washington, DC, area.
Port Elizabeth is worked in one piece as three tiers. The first tier of squares is knit flat and then seamed to make a loop. The stitches for the next tiers of squares are picked up from the edge of this loop, and the tiers are joined to these live stitches as they are knit.

IRS examination of tax returns has been dropping. That means more filers are prone to fudge figures on their 1040s. But the agency still is collecting trillions of dollars.
The 2012 tax filing season has just begun, but a perennial concern is on the minds of many filers: audits. The good news is that if you make less than $200,000, your chances of the Internal Revenue Service taking a closer look at your return is negligible. The latest IRS data on examinations – that's what
While most small business owners are honest citizens doing their best to pay their fair share in taxes, there are a few who try to dupe the system. As a result, the IRS has created a formula called the Discriminate Function that looks for certain tax audit red flags in returns to catch those individuals.
A lot of folks fear tax filing time because they're afraid they'll end up answering questions from the Internal Revenue Service. Yes, tax audits — or examinations as the IRS likes to call them, are real. But they're not a problem for most of us. The IRS 2010 Data Book says that in the last fiscal
The Internal Revenue Service needs to keep a closer eye on landlords. They apparently are not reporting all their income.

Top Dividend Stock #6: Chevron (CVX)
Dividend Yield: 3.46%
YTD Performance: -7.43%
52-Week Return: -3.38%
Falling one spot from last month's list of dividend stocks, Chevron (CVX) is one of the largest and most well-known integrated energy companies on the planet. Although the company recently reduced its production volume guidance by about 6% for 2017 — which was due in part to an expected decrease in oil demand, liquefied natural gas prices and asset sales, among other factors — its overall production growth is still better than many of its energy-sector peers.
In fact, CVX was the only company of its kind to forecast growth in 2014. Contributing to the growth will be an 8.6% increase in drilling in the U.S. Permian Basin region (production in the region is expected to double over the course of the decade), as well as higher production from its Texas-New Mexico project.
Even with strong growth prospects, CVX still trades at a discount relative to other energy stocks. With a forward P/E ratio of 9.4 (compared to Exxon's (XOM) 12.3), its valuation is very enticing. CVX should continue to outperform the rest of the stocks in the sector as oil prices remain above $100 per barrel for the foreseeable future, and as revenues increase, the company will be able to afford to pay out more to investors.
CVX has a current payout ratio of about 35%, and that is expected to increase to approximately 38% later this year, keeping with the company's tradition of consecutive dividend increases during the past five years.

Last summer, as her 45th birthday approached, Melissa Bruninga-Matteau made a promise to "end part of her life."
She had earned a Ph.D. in medieval history—from the University of California at Irvine, after nearly a decade of study—back in 2011, and she had hoped to glide into a solid faculty position. Instead, the previous two years had been marked by disappointment, depression, and rejection. Though she had applied for more than 100 teaching openings, nothing much had panned out. The best job she'd been able to find was as an adjunct at Yavapai College, a community college in Prescott, Ariz., where she taught a couple of humanities courses for meager pay and no benefits.
Bruninga-Matteau ended up relying on food stamps and Medicaid, barely scratching out a living for herself and her 17-year-old daughter. When she wasn't grading papers, or worrying about keeping the lights on and the hot water running, she was trawling the Web in search of articles about the brutal academic job market and colleges' use of adjuncts.
"It was just all so depressing," she says. "If I was ever going to provide for myself and for my daughter, I needed a job with decent pay and benefits."
So Bruninga-Matteau told herself that if she didn't land a tenure-track job—somewhere, anywhere—by her birthday, June 11, she was going to give up on her dream of becoming a history professor and move on from that chapter in her life.
"I was gonna say 'to hell with it,'" she says, "and look for a job at Wal-Mart."
I first encountered Bruninga-Matteau back in April 2012, before she made her tenure-or-bust pledge. "Are you still looking for people with Ph.D.'s who are on food stamps?" she wrote in an e-mail. "I'd be one of them."
For some time, I'd been hearing talk of adjuncts whose wages were such a pittance that they qualified for welfare. These anecdotes got me thinking: Were there really many academics living that close to the margins, or was that mostly hyperbole?
Bruninga-Matteau's travails were real—and they became the centerpiece of a story I wrote for The Chronicle about Ph.D.'s on food stamps. Her adjuncting brought in $900 a month, $750 of which went immediately toward rent. To make the remaining $150 last longer, she learned tricks familiar to those with little room for financial maneuvering: stretching two pounds of hamburger meat over six meals, reminding her daughter to use a washable rag instead of paper towels, asking friends if they had an extra roll of toilet paper when she ran out. At times she borrowed her mother's car to drive to campus—about 100 miles round trip—because she couldn't afford to fill up her own gas tank.
She felt "bone-tired"—"poverty really isn't healthy," she says—and slept a lot because of depression.
A 'Worthless' Degree?
When my story ran, it opened with a statement Bruninga-Matteau made: "I am not a welfare queen."
The welfare queen, she argued, "was a construction of politics—a mythical creature, who drove around in fancy cars wearing designer clothes, all on the taxpayers' dime."
She had a point, and she wasn't speaking just for herself. Between 2007 and 2010 the numbers of Ph.D.-holders receiving aid more than tripled, from just shy of 10,000 to 33,000. Several of those Ph.D.'s shared their plight for my story. But as the piece got passed around, it was Bruninga-Matteau who faced particularly harsh criticism.
On The Chronicle's website, many of the comments were excoriating. Some people said she was foolish for pursuing a "worthless" humanities degree. Others suggested she was lazy and felt entitled because she had earned a Ph.D.
Said one reader: "This woman should consider a full-time job instead of relying on handouts. Despite her degree, it appears she lacks any common sense or personal accountability. Quit leaching off the tax-payers."
Another: "Anyone pursuing a Ph.D. in history as of 2002 should have known better than to expect a tenure-track job. If you are pursuing a Ph.D. in a humanities field right now, it's your responsibility to know the risks."
As the discussion moved beyond The Chronicle, the invective intensified. On his radio show, Neal Boortz, a right-wing political commentator, took some shots. "The money this lady is using to buy food came either from you, through taxes you paid, or your children," Boortz said. "That money was taken from you by force. It was seized. Stolen."
By the time Fox News and other media outlets reached out to her, seeking to do stories of their own, she realized she had become a political symbol and a stand-in for all Ph.D.'s on food stamps. ("I flat-out turned them down," she says of Fox. "They would have definitely twisted my words.") And she had long since stopped reading the comments, in an effort to protect her sanity. The invective about her weight, her hair, her tattoos, and her status as a single mom had stung hard.
"They denigrated my choice to get a Ph.D.," she says. "They denigrated my field of study. They harped on the fact that I'm a single mom even though my child was born in marriage. They commented on the fact that I was buying sugary cereal for my kid. Those were personal attacks that said everything about me is wrong. Those pissed me off and made me cry."
Even supportive responses sometimes felt backhanded. Bruninga-Matteau's mother called after reading the story to tell her daughter that she was proud of her. But she also let slip that she thought Bruninga-Matteau would never get an academic gig. "She was sure my career was over," she says, "and I had blacklisted myself."
'You Dig Your Heels In'
As the attention subsided, Bruninga-Matteau heard testimonials from fellow adjuncts, many of whom reached out on Twitter and Facebook to thank her for speaking out.
"Some adjuncts said they didn't know they were eligible for food stamps and so they applied," she says. "Some of them wrote back and told me they're now able to feed their kid and buy food for their family."
Bruninga-Matteau says she came to feel that the piece helped blow some myths out of the water: that most college professors are overpaid and pampered, that people on food stamps are uneducated, and that adjuncts are teaching only for fun or to supplement full-time careers.
She also emerged with a desire to prove all of her "haters" wrong: "Sometimes, when people say you can't, you dig your heels in."
So a few months after Bruninga-Matteau's star turn, she packed the bulk of her belongings, put them in storage, and moved across the country to Washington, D.C., to live rent-free with her best friend, who is a family demographer for the U.S. Census Bureau. (Her daughter stayed in Arizona with her grandparents so she could remain at her high school.) She started teaching online courses for the American Public University, and by August 2012, she was off Medicaid and no longer reliant on food stamps.
Meanwhile, she stepped up her search for a long-term position. "I applied for all sorts of jobs, from R-1's to community colleges, even some charter schools and private boarding schools," she says. "If I was even remotely qualified, I applied, even for things that were long shots"—including a university in Australia.
She became expert at skimming job postings, looking for buzzwords and crafting her CV and cover letters. Listings that stressed the importance of pedagogy, or a broad teaching base, were worth following up on. Ones that prioritized research, not teaching, weren't a good fit.
There were other limits to her search: She didn't present papers at academic conferences, because she couldn't afford to attend them. And she applied for very few jobs that required paper copies of her application materials, including her dissertation.
"Heck, the postage could pay for a couple of gallons of gas," she says.
Her efforts yielded a grand total of six phone interviews and visits to a couple of campuses—Martin Methodist College, in Pulaski, Tenn., and Landmark College, in Putney, Vt. Landmark paid for her plane ticket. But to get to Pulaski, Bruninga-Matteau had to dig into what little savings she had until Martin Methodist reimbursed her.
During her phone and campus interviews, Bruninga-Matteau's appearance in the food-stamps article inevitably came up. At Martin, she tackled the subject head-on: She told the college's president that, if offered the job, she would act as an advocate for adjunct faculty instead of shying away from contentious issues.
Months later, though, Bruninga-Matteau still had no job offers. June 11 was fast approaching. The medievalist prepared herself to walk away from academe for good.
"But the universe had a different plan," she says.
The day before her birthday, she got a call from Ken Vickers, chair of the history department at Martin Methodist. As she held the phone, she says, "I was shaking like a leaf."
Vickers was calling to offer her a job teaching two history courses—one on world civilization, and one on historiography and research methods. The position, he said, would put her on the tenure track. Without a moment's hesitation, Bruninga-Matteau said yes. Her immediate reaction after hanging up the phone was emphatic: "Hot damn, I did it!"
She called her mother, who was about to board a plane to attend a relative's high-school graduation. "I told her to sit down before I gave her the news. She actually sat heavily on the floor. There were tears involved."
Vickers said in an e-mail that Bruninga-Matteau was already on a shortlist of candidates when a search-committee members ran across the Chronicle feature. The professor's time on food stamps didn't help or hurt her case, he said.
"We needed a professor who relished a heavy teaching, advising, and mentoring load," he said. "She has a big personality that seems to be winning students over to both her personally and to the history program."
Bruninga-Matteau isn't entirely sure what got her the Martin Methodist job after so many other disappointments, but she has a theory. "There must be something to that sense of finality, or perhaps fatalism, that allowed me to be fully me," Bruninga-Matteau says, "to let it all hang out and stop trying to be what I thought the search committees wanted me to be. I actually was much more brave than I would have been otherwise, and I think that braveness is what got me the job at Martin."
An Office of Her Own
In July, Bruninga-Matteau rented a car for two weeks and drove from Washington to Pulaski with her daughter. She says she's adjusting well to life in Tennessee. Martin Methodist is a small college—there are about 1,100 students—and her campus feels like a family. She spends her spare time prepping for classes, slowly unpacking her belongings, making new friends, and exploring her new town. "This place is a place I can call home, if not forever, a good long while," she says.
Having a steady paycheck also feels good. Bruninga-Matteau chuckles when she recalls the moment she got her first check from the college. This semester marks the first time in over three years that she's been able to pay all of her monthly bills and still have money to spare.
"Now I can go grocery shopping and not have to buy the cheapest brands," she says. "I can buy extra things for my daughter."
And being on the tenure track means that her teaching has changed in some ways. She says she feels freer in the classroom and that she cares even more about her students because she knows that she'll have a relationship with them beyond just one course.
"I am here beyond the classroom, and that allows me to be passionate in my teaching. If my students don't get something the first time, they can ask me to clarify or come to my office to ask questions," she says.
The office isn't much to look at: It's the size of a mudroom. But having her own space is "profound," Bruninga-Matteau says. When Vickers handed her the key, he broke out laughing. He couldn't believe how excited she was.

The Celebrity Apprentice 1
Jennie Finch the fourth 'The Celebrity Apprentice' candidate fired
By Christopher Rocchio, 01/25/2008
Jennie Finch is used to throwing heat on the field and not taking heat in the boardroom, causing the 27-year-old Olympic softball player to become the fourth candidate fired by Donald Trump during last night's
The Celebrity Apprentice
broadcast on NBC.
"Losing is hard to swallow. It's tough and it's heart-wrenching knowing that we were so close. I'm sad that I'm leaving my girls and I'm sad that I'm going home," said Jennie after her ouster. "I really didn't think I got a chance or opportunity to show my leadership skills. It was interesting to see the differences between
The Apprentice
business world and the softball field. I look forward to getting back on the playing field."
The Celebrity Apprentice's
fourth episode began following the
previous boardroom session
that saw KISS frontman and
Gene Simmons Family Jewels
star Gene Simmons basically do himself in, despite the fact that The Donald was clearly gunning to give former
The Swan
creator and television producer Nely Galan the boot.
Upon learning of Gene's fate,
America's Got Talent
judge Piers Morgan commented how Gene "saved Nely and killed himself."
"Maybe Donald Trump doesn't like me," said Nely. "But Gene Simmons certainly does!"
The 11 remaining candidates were then met with Trump, Ivanka and World Wrestling Entertainment chairman Vince McMahon. Trump took the opportunity to tell the tale of how McMahon
Wrestlemania 23
that led to McMahon shaving his head before he explained the next task.
The all-female Team Empresario and all-male Team Hydra would each receive four "very successful, separate" Broadway shows that they would have two hours to sell tickets for, with the winning team determined by who brings in the most money. Each team's project manager for the task would be able to choose a negotiator from their team to determine which of the eight shows Empresario and Hydra received.
Due to their previous experience with Broadway, Hydra nominated former
The Sopranos
actor and
Dancing with the Stars
dropout Vincent Pastore as their project manager while Empresario chose actress Marilu Henner, who gushed about her involvement with six Broadway shows.
Marilu was "really confident," and that was only aided when she chose
The Apprentice
first-season contestant and reality show retread Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth as her negotiator.
"I gladly accept," said Omarosa when asked about the position.
Marilu immediately began to contact producers and other people in the Broadway scene that she has connections to, hoping to secure some fellow stage actors to come down and help with Empresario's cause. Hydra was having difficulties and couldn't stop bickering about how to approach the task.
Not surprisingly, Stephen Baldwin wanted to be Hydra's negotiator, while Piers thought the actor and frequent celebrity reality show participant would be better suited working the phone and using his black book to contact high-profile people to buy tickets -- a plan that had proved successful in previous tasks. Vincent agreed with Piers and appointed professional boxer Lennox Lewis as his negotiator.
Marilu, Omarosa, Vincent and Lennox all met in a room with the eight Broadway show options spread out in-front of them. Vincent offered the ladies' first pick, and Marilu quickly snatched up
Spring Awakening
, which she knew was the hottest show available to them. The negotiation process wasn't exactly civilized and Omarosa likened dealing with Hydra to "playing Monopoly with 3-year-olds."
With each team having the four shows they needed to sell tickets, Nely immediately got on the horn and began calling her contacts. Piers reiterated his desire for Stephen to do the same, however Stephen didn't want to waste time and thought they should all be out on the street hawking tickets the old-fashioned way.
"If you are now going to deliberately not hit your high-rollers for the money as some form of proving me wrong, you are a shallow little man," Piers told Stephen.
"Boomerang..." Stephen called Piers before explaining what he meant in a confessional. "When you're full of it, and you spew that stuff out, it's probably just going to come back and hit you right in the face."
As Vincent, Lennox and country artist Trace Adkins left the office to go down to the ticket booth in Times Square to start setting up, Piers, Stephen and mixed martial arts fighter Tito Ortiz stayed behind and started working the phones.
Piers called British billionaire Richard Branson -- who played the Trump role on Fox's Fall 2004
The Rebel Billionaire
reality series -- and Richard purchased $10,000 worth of tickets. Following the big sale, Stephen and Piers quickly made amends.
The two-hour window to sell tickets then commenced, and both Hydra and Empresario opened their booths for business. With the help of Marilu's Broadway contacts -- including Tony Award winning
actor David Hyde Pierce -- Empresario seemed to be making money hand over fist and Nely was excited.
"I feel like Donald Trump thinks that I'm a loser," said Nely. "I refuse to leave the show without proving to Donald Trump and everybody here that I'm a friggin' star!"
As has been the case for most of Empresario's previous tasks, Jennie and supermodel Carol Alt found themselves in the background, taking the cash and giving the tickets.
"Jennie, just like me, has been taking the garbage jobs that nobody else wants," explained Carol.
Since one of Hydra's shows was
and Piers is British, it only seemed natural that Vincent suggest the former tabloid editor don a knight's costume to try and sell tickets on the street.
Piers agreed, however Americans didn't really recognize him for his star-power and thus treated him like they would any other yahoo in a knight's costume, which Piers thought was "bloody rude." However he was able to make Ivanka laugh and since he is "pretty famous back in England," Brits walking the street did purchase tickets from him. Comedian Bob Saget also arrived to help Hydra's cause and Trace secured a $5,000 purchase from EMI.
At Empresario, Omarosa labeled Jennie as "vulnerable from Day 1" and added nobody sees her as a leader.
"I think the hardest thing for me in this task was being in the tent -- again -- not being able to use my assets and show any leadership skills," opined Jennie. "I'm stuck in this booth, I'm hidden once again."
Vince then arrived at Empresario's booth and wasn't very impressed by what he saw. He thought Empresario was doing "more order taking," which does "not necessarily attract the audience they need to attract." He was also critical of their decision to not highlight David Hyde Pierce's presence more noticeably.
With 15 minutes left in the task, Nely was still waiting on a cashier's check to arrive and Piers was also anxiously waiting for Branson's $10,000 to arrive. Some of Branson's assistants arrived with less than two minutes left, and Piers was relieved.
The two teams then gathered for
The Celebrity Apprentice's
fourth boardroom, where Trump was flanked by Ivanka and Vince. While Marilu said she was "very confident" and "pretty sure" Empresario won the task, Vincent only said Hydra "probably did the best we could" and didn't seem to optimistic. Tito singled out Piers as Hydra's MVP since he donned the costume and worked the street and also brought in a high roller like Branson.
"Oh good... Nice guy," said Trump of Branson, presumably having to bite his tongue since the Virgin mogul just made a $10,000 charity donation.
Vince reiterated his feeling that Empresario should have used David Hyde Pierce better and was also curious as to why Carol and Jennie -- two attractive women -- were hidden in the ticket booth.
"It's time for them to win," said Trump about the 0-for-3 Empresario. "It's going to be very, very depressing if you lose again."
Vince revealed Empresario raised a "very impressive" $31,757, only to have Ivanka reveal Hydra raised $33,300, giving the guys their fourth-consecutive task victory. The girls looked stunned, particularly Marilu.
"We've always been overmatched in terms of star-power, size and in terms of black book," she said.
Piers said "star-power played no part in the challenge" before Omarosa criticized him for dressing like a "clown." Vincent came to Piers' defense and put Omarosa in her place.
"You just criticized my man Piers for dressing up like a knight and walking around Broadway... You called him a clown," said Vincent to Omarosa.
"That's not star-power. People didn't even know who he was until they saw him. That's being a barker! That's going out there and selling tickets! It's like the old days when my dad used to walk up and down with a sandwich board around him. That's what this man did. That's why he's our most-valuable player. He brought in the high rollers and then he put on the sandwich board."
Nely then explained she thought the reason Empresario lost is because her two contacts with the cashier's check got there "two minutes after they closed us down," making the donation null. She blamed their delay on the "rain and traffic." The Donald then revealed for winning the task, Vincent's charity -- The Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research -- would receive $50,000.
Hydra was sent to the War Room, where they'd be able to watch the rest of the boardroom session play out until Trump made his decision.
"I'm a little embarrassed for the women," said Trump.
Carol said Empresario "pulled out all the stops" to win the task and came up just short. Marilu said she felt sick to her stomach before gushing about how well Hydra works together, which the guy's enjoyed hearing in the War Room. Vince agreed the guys would "do anything to win" and reiterated how he felt that wasn't the case with Empresario. Omarosa characterized Carol as "flying under the radar" in the competition.
"I know we have so much talent and I think we over think things," said Jennie. "It's been our fault."
Omarosa suggested Trump fire Carol since she's been the team's "weakest link" because she's "up and down" and there's "no consistency." Carol then went on the offensive against Omarosa, labeling her as "very weak" and trying to drag other members down for making them feel "insecure."
"This is our group and she's eating it up from the inside out. Our group should advance together. We should look for each other's weaknesses and support them -- not exploit them so we don't get fired in the boardroom," said Carol of Omarosa. "As a business woman, I have no respect for her at all."
Jennie added she and Carol had "consistently been in that assistant role," and Nely suggested Trump fire Marilu because she shouldn't have been the project manager and should have instead spent time using her Broadway star-power to sell tickets. The Donald disagreed because Marilu knows Broadway better than any of the other team's members.
Trump then asked Marilu who'd be staying in the boardroom with her, and she answered Carol and Jennie. Prior to firing one of the three women, Vince said Jennie doesn't "seem to have the same competitive spirit that she has on the mound."
"I think Marilu has to stay if this team has a chance for victory," said Ivanka. "I think she's really their only shot. She's smart and I think she tends to come-up with the big ideas. Without her, I think you can write-off next week."
Marilu, Carol and Jennie then returned to the boardroom. Marilu explained she, Nely and Omarosa "work very well together," which is why she decided to be flanked by Jennie and Carol. Donald then expressed Vince's concern about Jennie not having the same "energy" as when she's on the mound.
"I think it's hard. I think it's hard when you sit in a room with Omarosa and Nely and boom, boom, boom... It just wipes you out," said Jennie. "It's hard to see just such a harsh, nasty environment. I'm not used to that..."
"And you shouldn't get used to it," answered Trump.
"I don't want to!" replied Jennie.
"Don't get used to it. Stay the way you are. I think you're fantastic," said Trump. "But Jennie -- for my purpose -- you're fired. It's just not your world, and you know what, I like your world better."
The three women then departed the boardroom.
"That was the right call," said Vince, and Trump and Ivanka agreed.
