5cholarship Eligibility Open to All High School Seniors
As the Las Vegas Track Club shifted gears in 2017 by going from a member-based club to a donor-based organization one of first things that happened was that the Scholarship Program, which has been the backbone of the club since the millennium (it was put into place in 2000), is no longer closed to non card-carrying members. It made sense initially to limit scholarships to LVTC members. It was benefit of membership. It encouraged those who would be applying for a scholarship to be involved with the club: run our races, volunteer to help at events, attend social functions, etc., since the Scholarship Committee took into account "LVTC involvement." It was a case of looking after your own: "Only members need apply."
As Scholarship Chair I was OK with that, but it always bothered me a little. As a 501c3 organization, which the Las Vegas Track Club was, and still is, it seemed to go against the idea of inclusion. We were giving money to support our charter, but we weren't reaching out to the full community, in this case high school seniors who were runners and were headed off to college. By being exclusive to members, quite frankly, we weren't always giving that financial boost to the "best qualified." Usually, money was given to all who applied. Great for them, but something seemed amiss. It didn't seem right that all you had to do was pay your dues and you could claim your prize. Well, now that's changed.
Now any high school senior in southern Nevada is eligible. Otherwise the rules haven't changed. It's still a three-legged stool. We still weigh (1) academics; (2) athletics, with an emphasis on high school cross country and track, and youth running; and (3) citizenship. We do not take into account "financial need" per se, but it can be a consideration, along with other things like physical disabilities and other hardships. These "other things" can be brought out in the essay or the letters of recommendation.
We have tried to make the application package as compact as possible: cover letter, resume', academic transcript, a short essay, and two letters of recommendation. (For an athletic resume, I go to athletic.net and add those findings to the package.)
I hope you flood me with applications this year! We are, as best as I can determine, the only game in town. Who else is offering scholarship money to graduating high school seniors who are runners? We will be looking for a final pool of candidates of up to 12 and will likely give away up to $15,000, with a grant range of $1000 to $3000. No strings attached. The money is given in the form of check that is to be used in support of continuing education.
Deadline for applying is April 5th. Go for it.
Phil Lawton, Scholarship Chair
2017 Las Vegas Track Club Scholarship Program
The Las Vegas Track Club (LVTC) Scholarship Program was officially established in 2000 to assist local high school graduates with college expenses. The program is funded by donations from club members, local organizations and individuals, and the fundraising efforts of the LVTC. The club designates at least one club-sponsored event per quarter as a Scholarship Race.
the Las Vegas Track Club Scholarship Program is a way of giving back to the Community to help foster interest in running and show our commitment to youth running in particular. By supporting young people who have demonstrated academic and athletic excellence, community involvement, and a strong interest in running, we are encouraging healthy, productive, and disciplined lifestyles in these young adults who are the leaders of the future.
Award Amounts:
Variable: may be given to a single individual or divided among multiple recipients at the discretion of the Scholarship Committee and, ultimately, the LVTC Board of Directors. Awards can be expected to range from $1,000 to $3,000. In 2016 a total of $15,000 was distributed among nine (9) finalists.
Scholarship Committee:
The Scholarship Committee is made up of club members selected by the LVTC Board of Directors. The Committee Chairman is appointed by the Board and serves as the point-of-contact.
Any graduating high school student (Class of 2017) from southern Nevada (currently defined as Clark County, Nye County and Lincoln County) may apply. NOTE: Active membership in the LVTC is no longer a requirement.
Selection Criteria:
Scholarships are based upon achievements during the student's high school career in the following areas: (1) academics, as measured by high school grade point averages (GPA), both un-weighted and weighted (if applicable), and SAT/ACT test scores; (2) athletics, with emphasis on cross country and track & field and participation in youth running; (3) extracurricular activities and community involvement; (4) a personal essay; (5) two letters of recommendation.
Weighting between these areas will be determined by the sole discretionary judgment of the Scholarship Committee and the LVTC Board of Directors, whose decisions will be final.
Use of Funds and Distribution:
The award is intended for the use of the recipient in the pursuit of post-secondary education; money will be awarded to the winner or winners in the form of a one-time, single cash grant.
Application Deadline and Notification of Award Selection:
Applications must be submitted to the Committee (see address below) and received no later than Wednesday, April 5, 2017. Applications are available on-line at www.LVTC.org (the LVTC web site) or through the mail by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope with an application request to:
Attention: Scholarship Committee
Las Vegas Track Club
P. O. Box 30134
Las Vegas, NV 89173-0134
Applicants will be notified no later than May 10, 2017, regarding the results of the selection process.

Sliding compound miter saws are convenient because they let you cut into many materials with a wide range of angles. This ensures you more precision and accuracy in your projects, such as your woodworking projects and others. Better precision will allow you to make your projects look more professional, and therefore more appealing to people who are viewing your work. Not to mention, your projects will just look more stylish overall, since not only will you get all the angles you want, but the cuts will be as straight as can be—and, it goes without saying, more professional than they would be otherwise.

**Below, you'll find our more detailed reviews, but you can also click the links above to see current prices or read customer reviews on Amazon.
Why Do You Need Sliding Compound Miter Saw?
- Get more done in the same amount of time
- Cut through many different materials
- Work quicker and more efficiently
- Cut at a wide variety of angles
Things To Consider When Buying Sliding Compound Miter Saw
If you're looking for a sliding compound miter saw, then there are several things you'll have to take into account. Most important of all is safety; if a given power tool isn't safe, then there's no point in purchasing it, since who knows what might happen? Also important is convenience; ideally, the optimal sliding compound miter saw will fit comfortably into your garage (or wherever your handyperson workbench is), be the right size for you to be able to handle it optimally without hurting yourself, and work efficiently and properly. Moreover, you'll also have to consider how portable it is; more portable models tend to weigh less, which means that they're easier to carry and maneuver.
- Safety: Safety and security are of the utmost importance when you're considering purchasing any kind of power tool. Let's face it, actually; if a tool doesn't seem to be safe, then there's no point in getting one. It's simply not worth the risk; it's easy enough to injure yourself with any kind of power tool, and especially one that involves pieces which are meant specifically for cutting and severing. So—if you're considering a specific model, but you've never heard of the company and it doesn't have any safety certifications, verifications or checks—then you should stay away. Far away. Such a model will simply not be worth your time; there aren't many logical reasons for them to be lacking such a certification, after all. And the fact that they're lacking such a certification means that—while they might actually be fairly safe—it's still best not to trust them. Better safe than sorry, as they say.
- Efficiency: Ideally, a good sliding compound miter saw—and especially a perfect sliding compound miter saw—must be efficient to use. That is to say, you should be able to cut efficiently and smoothly with it, without any unexpected problems cropping up. That a sliding compound miter saw works efficiently doesn't mean it's necessarily fast—although that's often the case. Rather, in order for a sliding compound miter saw to be effective, it must be able to cut through materials at a steady, consistent pace; the cutting must not leave any more stray fibres lying around than strictly necessary; and the blades must be sharp enough that (when they're sharpened), they're effective at what they do. When using an efficient machine with an optimal design, then straining yourself—in your arms, wrists, and even hands and fingers—will happen, but not until you've been using it for a while. On the contrary, if your arms start to hurt a few minutes after you've been using it, then the machine itself isn't very efficient.
- Convenience: It's also important that your sliding compound miter saw is convenient to use. In order to take this into account, the saw can't be too heavy to use, since you, again, risk the chance of hurting yourself or damaging your muscles and tendons. Obviously, though, this will depend on how strong you are as a person. Another factor of convenience is how cumbersome the sliding compound miter saw is. Some of them are more cumbersome to use, though they might not necessarily be heavy; this can make usage awkward and clunky. Moreover, whether or not a given model is cumbersome will have an effect on how it takes up space in your garage or wherever else you choose to place it. Although most models of sliding compound miter saws have roughly the same shape, the specific size will depend on which model number you end up going with.
- Durability: Durability is always an important factor that comes into play when you're purchasing power tools. The more durable a given sliding compound miter saw is, the more usage you can get out of it. Because of this, you can use it for longer amounts of times in individual sessions, and it will also have a longer lifespan overall. That a given saw has a long lifespan is important: you won't have to buy a new model (and, as you surely know by now, buying a new model can become quite a pain in the neck), you'll save money, and there are environmental benefits as well. All of these come together to ensure that durable, long-lasting models tend to be preferable, no matter what kind of work you're doing with your sliding compound miter saw—or, in other words, you can't go without getting a durable model. If you don't and opt for a weaker model instead, then you'll find you'll have to replace it much earlier than you intended.
Top 4 Best Sliding Compound Miter Saw Reviews
1. Hitachi C10FCE2 15-Amp 10-inch Single Bevel Compound Miter Saw
- Horizontal handle reduces vibration with elastomer grip
- Large table makes work more efficient and comfortable
- Flip fence is large and extended
- Positive stops are activated by the thumb, for quick adjustments
- Replace the carbon brush whenever you need to
High precision and accuracy
This model offers you high precision and accuracy. In part, this is because of the motor, which has 15 amps; it will allow you greater power—and by extension greater control—for those tough sawing jobs. The miter angle range is 0-52 degrees for the right and for the left, which allows you greater control over your own flexibility. There is also a 0-45 degree bevel range, to the left, and it features adjustable bevel stops that will allow you to cut and saw with precision. You can cut crown molding vertically with the large extended flip fence, which goes up to four inches. Furthermore, the quick stops—which are activated with your thumb—ensures that you can adjust the miter quickly and efficiently.
Comfort and ease of use
As we've said already, the quick steps allow you to adjust the miter quickly and efficiently, with the result that—because you're using your thumb—you won't have to keep stopping what you're doing so that you can properly manipulate the instrument. This makes things more comfortable for you. Another facet that makes things more comfortable is the fact that the worktable is large and well-sized. This allows you to have better material support, which is good for your back and your muscles.
2. DEWALT DWS780 12-Inch Double Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw
- Miter system is precise and accurate
- Powerful amp and rotor that allow for extended power and durability
- Back fence design is exclusive
- Cut 16-dimensional lumber at 90 degrees and 2 by 12 at 45 degrees
- Miter detent plate is adjustable and made out of stainless steel
Many convenient features
This model offers you several very helpful features. For example, there is a cam lock miter, a detent override, and bevel crown stops. In addition, its capacity is among the best in its weight class. It was designed in such a way that you can use it easily, with no hassles whatsoever. For example, the capacities are miter 0 to 60 degree left, 0 to 50 degree right, base capacity 6-1/2″ left and right with a crown capacity of 6-5/8″, cross cuts 2 x 14 on 90 degree and miters 2 x 10 on 45 degree, and bevel 0 to 48 degree left and right.
High versatility
It's both durable and precise, with the result that it's ideal for professionals as well as hobbyists. You can use it not only for woodworking and heavy-duty framing, but also for building decks.
Package features a whole set
In addition to the sliding compound miter saw itself, you'll also receive a dust bag, a wrench, and of course an instruction manual. It also comes with an adjustable miter saw laser system accessory (the DW7187). The warranty is for three years and is a limited warranty. Also, this miter saw weighs 54 pounds, so it's the kind of portability you want if you're a cabinetmaker, trim carpenter, installer, contractor, or framer.
3. Bosch GCM12SD 120-Volt 12-Inch DB Glide Miter Saw
- Ambidextrous trigger handle is ergonomic and comfortable
- Axial-glide system allows greater precision
- Compact, self-contained workspace
- Large bevel is easy to read
Efficient motion
With its smooth motions and precise performance, this model is an excellent model if you're looking for something that works well in different circumstances. Part of the reason it works so well is because of the Bosch-exclusive Axial-Glide System. As well, there pre-aligned Squarelock fences; these enable the saw to maintain precision throughout the life of the miter saw. The cutting capacity is also large, and you can easily read the bevel. There are miter scales with detents at common angles, and the upfront controls are both easy to access and to understand.
Comfort and quality
This is a good model to use if you're looking for comfort. The handle is ambidextrous, so your performance won't suffer—and your style won't be cramped—if you're left-handed. This is also a soft grip, and there is also a dust chute and vacuum adaptor, together in one piece, so that the user is more comfortable. Because it's so comfortable, you can work for several hours at a time without worrying about injuring yourself.
Everything you need to get started
The package comes with 1 12-Inch Dual-Bevel Glide Miter Saw, 1 60-Tooth Blade, 1 Blade Wrench, 1 90 Degree Dust Chute Elbow/Vacuum Adaptor, 1 Material Clamp, and 1 Dust Bag.
4. Makita LS1216L 12-Inch Dual Slide Compound Miter Saw with Laser
- Drive motor is very powerful and requires less maintenance
- Tall, dual-sliding fence system
- Independent laser allows for high accuracy and precision
- Electronic speed control with constant speed
Power and strength
This model offers some of the best capacity in its weight class. The 4-Steel Rail Sliding system allows you to cut both more effectively and with greater precision, in a way that further increases how rigid that part of the system is.
Greater precision and accuracy
Part of the reason why precision and accuracy are better with this model is because of the blade guard system. This system is transparent, with the result that you get greater visibility of the line of cutting. These blades are tipped with 60T carbide. Furthermore, the rubberized feet help ensure that your tools remain stationary; as a result, you get greater precision, since there's a lesser amount of movement and shuffling around than there would be otherwise. You can keep your work surface cleaner as well; this is thanks to the throat plate on the bottom, which is fully enclosed. There is also a 6 linear ball-bearing design which allows you to make very accurate cuts that don't require any adjustments and which are quite smooth.
It comes with the tools you need
This model is purchased with a dust bag, a vertical vice, two models of wrenches, and a triangular rule. On the device itself, there are large levers which be adjusted for simple, efficient adjustments.
Final Verdict
At the end of the day, while finding a good sliding compound miter saw can be difficult, it's most certainly worth it. You can check out the models we've suggested in this article; they're great products, made by well-known, high-quality brands. However, it might be that these models aren't right for you, and that's fine. In that case, we whose you good luck in your search. After all, you already know how hard it can be to find the perfect sliding compound miter saw for all your DIY and handyperson needs. So, best of luck; we know that you'll need it. But remember: if you do your research properly, you will succeed. You can do it!

Tuesday 29 September 2015
An innovative multi-disciplinary team working together in the heart of the community has won a national Health Service Journal award for service design.
The Integrated Community Response Service (ICRS) based in Hounslow, run by Hounslow and Richmond Community Healthcare NHS Trust, and commissioned by Hounslow CCG, aims to prevent patients being admitted to hospital and is made up of a GP, nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, support staff, social workers, primary care mental health nurse and a handyman.
The service won the overall category for Community Health Service Redesign and was also highly commended in a second category for the Value and Improvement in Specialist Services at the Health Service Journal's Value in Healthcare Awards.
The service set up four years ago, brings together for the first time specialist skills from both a hospital and community setting under one roof. The team works together to ensure that patients receive the right care from the right people at the right time. With the breadth of healthcare professionals within one team, patients are now benefiting from receiving a combined package of care which looks at all parts of their ability to stay at home, such as their health, social needs and mental health needs.
Jacki Hunt, service lead said: "I am delighted we are being recognised at a national level. Our unique service operates without boundaries and is now going from strength to strength with 33 working in the team. ICRS continues to develop and expand. We deliver a truly unique service which unites all aspects of care into one service for the benefit of our patients."
Dr Nicola Burbidge, chair of Hounslow CCG, said: "It is brilliant to see that this work has been recognised by the Health Service Journal awards. The Integrated Community Response Service is a concrete example of how bringing together health and social care can work. It goes to show that taking a bold approach to service design can pay off and achieve real improvements in care for patients."

Strona 13 - Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law : for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Strona 37 - Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean ; from all your filthiness, and from all your idols will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you ; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments and do them.
Strona 96 - Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
Strona 48 - for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Strona 88 - And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
Strona 18 - But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus...
Strona 109 - And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
Strona 82 - Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Strona 111 - Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
Strona 22 - Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption, through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins...

Typographer & Font Designer Drew Melton
Ok, I'll save you the spiel about how deeply I've fallen in love with typography and lettering, as that should be fairly obvious by now. Drew Melton's work essentially speaks for itself. His deeply expressive fonts and lettering demonstrate the importance of hand-drawing into the design process. Even in the sharpest, finalized versions of his work, you'll a spontaneity that's unmistakably fun and energetic.
Drew is an L.A.-based graphic designer and typographer who's worked with clients like McCann, Nike, Saatchi & Saatchi, and Penguin Books. He's had quite the interesting journey to success in the lettering realm, some of which is marked by serious self-reflection and the ability to remain humble.
One of the things that hurled him into the design spotlight was his Phraseology project, started with a few other designers and developers in 2011. Very similar to Erik Marinovich'sFriends of Type blog, Phraseology offers the public a chance to submit any word or phrase to be designed by members of the team. Soon enough, Drew was being commissioned for some big-time typography work by notable clients.
Unfortunately, with that exciting attention also came some consequences. As much as I admire Drew's hand at lettering, I might be even more enamored with his grace and honesty about his past mistakes.
In January 2013, Drew bravely posted a public apology on his blog to several typographic designers, including Jessica Hische, Jon Contino, Dana Tanamachi, and Darren Booth, for drawing inspiration from their styles in ways that were not entirely "okay." He spoke openly about his guilt and sadness at realizing that his creative process had been built too closely upon the examples of his heroes, and that his heroes were now upset with him.
The topic of creative originality is probably one of the most sensitive. It's something that is constantly under debate and argued by strong opinions. I'm a strong believer that nothing is purely unique, especially in this day and age. It's the nature of craft and evolution to build upon an existing idea. But in an age when visual information is so widely accessible, when an illustrator or designer can essentially educate themselves by opening their web browser–it's up to the creative to draw the line between inspiration and imitation.
It's a testament to Drew's work ethic and passion for the art of typography that he was still able to gain success after this admission. Even while he struggled to define his style in the beginnings of his career, it's clear that he's succeeded.
Drew is now focusing on font development in addition to personal design and typography. Some of my favorite fonts of his are Lastra, Handsome, and Magnifique.
I highly recommend Drew's interview with the Australian Graphic Supply Company (a previous Art Crush feature), as well as his feature (along with this wife, stylist and co-creative Kelsey Zahn) on Rverie. Follow along with Drew here:
More art inspiration!

We're all familiar with the corporate shirts that no one wears out in public. They're poorly designed, tossed out at parades, given away at any opportunity in the hopes that someone will wear them. And people do wear those lackluster shirts: while mowing the lawn, scrubbing the floor, or grilling out back…all places where no one is going to see them. After they've got enough tears and grease on them they're tossed in the trash, and people are glad to be rid of them. It's not like they were ever going to wear them out in public, anyway.
So what good were they? Did they do anything other than to have your business associated with something that people hide in the back of their closet? Do you really want to have your business thought of as the business that people are ashamed to be associated with, all because of poor design poorly printed?
What you really want is something that people are going to be proud to wear out in public. Corporate t-shirts that your employees are proud to acknowledge, wearing them to restaurants instead of immediately donating them to Goodwill. You need design that looks so good that, when people ask your employees what the shirt is all about, they'll be proud to talk about where they work and why that shirt was so important to your business.
If you're giving your shirt away to the public, you'll want to be sure to create promotional clothing designs that are so interesting that they'll want to keep it in their constant rotation. Unless you're Under Armor or Nike, it probably won't come as a surprise to you that your company logo isn't something that they want front and center on their chest. That's right, your corporate t-shirts can't be too corporate.
Luckily, you have Logos and Promos on your side. Contact us when you want design that will make people want to wear your name out in public. Contact us today to get started.

If Apple Has Reached Its Bottom, Is It Time To Buy Again?
For the past year, nothing seems to be going the way of Apple (AAPL) shareholders. There have been countless articles discussing whether or not Apple can ever make a comeback, or whether or not they will succeed without Steve Jobs as CEO. The rest of the market has performed well, but what was once the market's favorite stock, is now down over 20% YTD. Unfortunately, the conference call several months ago with Tim Cook did not seem to have as much of a positive effect on the stock as Apple was hoping for.
Latest Developments
Things may finally be looking up for Apple nevertheless. According to a recent article in Forbes, Apple may finally have a game changer for TV. Tim Cook has been quoted as saying "The TV has been left behind" in regards to innovation. This is especially true when comparing the progression of television to other technologies. The functionality of the TV has stayed relatively the same for decades, leaving an opportunity available to innovators. Tim Cook has also stated "Our whole role in life is to give you something you didn't know you wanted. And then once you get it, you can't imagine your life without it.…And you can count on Apple doing that." Let's hope Apple finally gets back to doing just that.
1.) Apple's latest patent application leads us to believe that Apple TV will get a large redesign in the latest model. The patent states that Apple is developing a remote control "wand" with a fingerprint sensor. The importance of the fingerprint sensor for users of Apple TV will be the ability to be able to authenticate parental controls and buying controls. Parent's or authorized user's fingerprints will be instantly recognized for access to certain programming or for buying movies and TV shows. This technology has also been rumored as a potential new feature to the next iPhone.
2.) The iWatch is something that has also been speculated about greatly. There has been confirmation that Apple did file a trademark in Japan, Russia, Mexico, and others. Apple's patent describes how "With a touch screen user input a user can accomplish a number of different tasks including adjusting the order of a current playlist, and reviewing a list of recent phone calls. A response to a current text message can even be managed given a simple virtual keyboard configuration across the face of the flexible display."
3.) Tim Cook has recently hired Paul Devene, who is the former CEO of luxury brand Yves Saint Laurent. Devene's role has been loosely described as "special projects" by Apple, but speculation lies around the iWatch product release. Devene has a history of success in marketing luxury items, and that is exactly what Apple needs. This hiring could also mean that Apple is looking to get back to an exclusive luxury image, which it has lost to some extent since the passing of the late Steve Jobs.
4.) Tim Cook has recently held a meeting to announce his displeasure in the amount of iPhone sales that are taking place from inside Apple retail stores. Cook reportedly stated that too many sales are occurring in outside locations, which decreases the amount of cross selling that may have occurred if the consumer was shopping inside the Apple store. Incentives for getting consumers into Apple stores may be in the works.Speculation of a lower priced MacBook Air has also been discussed. Apple could remove Intel as the processor for their MacBook Air, and use chips manufactured in house. They could lower the price point of their already successful MacBook Air in order to reach even more consumers. MacBook Air already has 56% of the ultra-thin laptop market share.
The greatest catalyst of all is Apple's secrecy. The ideal situation for Apple investors is a new product that no one even knows is coming. Time will tell for Apple.
Don't Sell Yet…
1.) Buybacks- A few months ago Apple announced share buybacks on their conference call with Tim Cook. The buybacks haven't currently had a major effect on the price of the stock yet, but over time it will. Buybacks are the sign of a solid, confident company with shareholder friendly management. As the number of shares decrease, naturally the price of each outstanding share should increase.
2.) Dividend- Apple's dividend yield continued to increase as the share price tumbled down to $400 a share. On April 23, 2013 Apple announced a 15% increase in the dividend payout, which equates to a cash value of $3.05 per share. Companies that continually increase dividend payouts and have large amounts of cash are typically great investments for the long term. The safety level of Apple's dividend is high, thanks to Apple's large cash position.
3.) History- Apple was once the most popular and favorite stock on Wall Street, making it one of the decade's most compelling success stories. Shares rose 100x from September 2002 through September 2012. Products like the iPhone and iPad broke sales records consistently, and analysts even predicted that Apple would be over $1000 a share. The Apple brand is still something that is envied by many, and remains a very powerful asset for the company.
But What About….?
1.) Competition- The market that Apple's products and services lie in are extremely competitive. Markets are often characterized by frequent product innovations and technological advances that can add new features and make current products seem obsolete. Price competition from rivals like Google (GOOG) has hurt Apple, particularly in the Smartphone market. Apple first released the iPhone six years ago, and the iPad is now three years old. This lapse in time between major innovations allows the competition to respond and develop similar devices. Even Apple's "refreshed" versions of the products are not enough to keep competitors at bay. With such fierce competition on similar products, the high prices that Apple have enjoyed and made Apple so profitable are more difficult to justify. Its latest earnings report showed that Apple's wide margins have begun to narrow.
2.) Innovation- Innovation for Apple has been no where near where it was during the Steve Jobs CEO tenure. "Refreshed" versions of current products have not been enough to spur enough growth in sales to move the stock. Apple needs another game changer that tells the public what they want, and leaves other companies rushing in an attempt to try and catch up. iPod, iPhone, and iPad were all successful in this respect.
3.) Global Markets- There has been speculation that Apple will be releasing a lower priced iPhone model, particularly to cater to emerging markets. The success or failure of launching the iPhone and iPad in these developing countries will have a huge influence on whether or not Apple's stock rallies. Apple is faced by aggressive price cutting and frequent innovation in alternative global markets, making it more difficult for their current products to compete. Apple's success in the global economy depends heavily on its ability to ensure timely production of new innovative technologies at prices competitive with Google and Samsung (SSNLF.PK). Apple has stated that their designs, reputation, and overall build quality will help them build a competitive advantage in their respective markets, while their competition focuses solely on pricing. Products that imitate Apple's functionality and innovation but undercut Apple's prices are a huge problem for Apple right now.
With such fast growth in the past, Apple has now reached a tremendous size, which limits continued exponential growth. Apple had consistently doubled their sales and earnings, but this is a feat that can only be done a certain number of times before it becomes very difficult to double such a large amount. Expansion becomes much more difficult when you must create hundreds of billions of dollars in new sales in one year, while Apple was used to doubling revenues numbers in the millions. Considering price movements in stocks are largely based on revenues and earnings, the stock was bound to slow down.
Profit takers are also another factor that has hurt Apple. Many people who got into Apple early have since taken their profits. Not to mention, as Apple's returns continued to grow, Apple became a disproportionately large portion of many people's portfolios. With too much exposure to one company, a portfolio becomes riskier. In order to balance a portfolio in this condition out, Apple shares would have to be trimmed.
I think the days of unbelievable growth for Apple are more than likely over. Steve Jobs was the visionary and such an intricate part of why Apple was such a great success. History shows that when Apple ousted their founder in 1985, the company performed very poorly. After re-hiring Steve, Apple began to outperform. Steve Jobs did however recommend Tim Cook as his successor, and I think Cook has potential to do great things with Apple. This information alone is not enough to label the stock untouchable.
Financially, the stock is dirt cheap
Financially speaking Apple is in excellent standing. Apple trades at a P/E of just 9.97 compared to an industry average of 16. Apple's relative P/E ratio (PEG ratio) is about .62, which shows that Apple is trading a multiple nearly half its growth rate. Both revenues and earnings per share have been steadily increasing year over year. Apple's dividend yield of 2.92% is also higher than the industry average of just 2.24%. Return on equity for Apple is nearly 40%, compared to an industry average of just 16.87%. Financial ratios show that Apple is highly undervalued when compared to its industry competitors. Considering Apple was once, and arguably still is the best of the breed company in the industry, these comparisons make Apple seem largely oversold.
Unseen Markets
For a different perspective, there are still many options available for Apple that no one has discussed. There is always the possibility that Apple will make an attempt to get into the gaming industry again. Their failed Apple Bandai Pippin was discontinued in 1997, but this may be a market that Apple decides to enter again. Apple had attempted tablets long before the iPad was released with little success, so it's possible Apple makes a comeback attempt in the gaming industry as well. Competitors would include Sony (ADR) PlayStation and Microsoft (MSFT) Xbox, but portable gaming controllers that connect directly to your iPhone or iPad could give Apple a competitive advantage.
The possibility for Smartphone integration throughout your entire house is another untapped market by Apple. I'm not referring to using your iPhone as a remote control for your iTunes or your Apple TV (which is currently available to consumers), but using your iPhone and iPad to check the status of your laundry, or to view recipes on the stove as you cook. This allows consumers to bring all of your home electronics together with simple integration across all appliances and consumer technologies.
This is merely speculation, but it is always interesting to try and predict what Apple may come up with next.
Time to Pull the Trigger?
Apple certainly doesn't have it easy from here, but the picture isn't as bleak as many people paint it. Apple's products are still widely used and sought after, and the App Store and iTunes are two of the best and widest used digital marketplaces in the world. The balance sheet's cash position is incredible, standing at about $143 billion. In addition, the stock did see growth every year from 2003 until 2012, and revenues during the same time period jumped from $6 billion to over $180 billion.
CNBC reported on Monday that Apple may finally be at the bottom. "Among the reasons Apple fans say to buy the stock now: a record-breaking stock buyback program, an amazing valuation, a technical breakout in the stock chart and a ramp-up in the current uninspiring product cycle. Plus, Chief Executive Tim Cook is finally stepping out of Steve Jobs' shadow." CNBC analysts are predicting Apple to be over $500 a share before the end of the summer. Forbes published a similar article on the same day, highlighting that Apple's main competitors – Samsung and HTC have reported lower than expecting earningsEven hedge funds and large institutional buyers are getting back into Apple, the valuation and potential new products make it too good to ignore. Technical analysis above shows a head and shoulders pattern for the stock, which could ultimately lead to a breakout up towards $500 a share.
Whether or not to pull the trigger on Apple ultimately depends on your risk tolerance. I think Apple may be on the right path, and definitely has some surprises in the works that should be announced soon. Valuation and balance sheet are too good to ignore, and history has shown that buying a good company during a bad time has proven profitable.
Apple is a tricky stock to consider investing in. Fellow Seeking Alpha writer Ashraf Eassa thinks that Apple stock is "dead money" and should be avoided. However, he also states that Apple's outstanding cash position and current product line should be sustainable for Apple in the coming years. Personally, I agree. The dividend, share buybacks, excellent cash position and current product offerings are all strengths for the stock. New products and emerging market growth are the two largest catalysts for Apple, which make it an investment based on conviction. Many analysts rate Apple a "Buy", but I am on the fence between a buy and a hold. Investors have adjusted to a life without Steve Jobs however, and new product cycles and incredible valuation make the stock appealing again. Tim Cook has been incredibly confident and enthusiastic about what is to come for Apple, and if his predictions are correct, Apple should be a great stock to own.

The relative ease of purchasing, the low interest rates, and the generous currency exchange all make Canada an incredibly attractive choice for foreign nationals looking to expand their investment portfolios—and this trend is not dying down any time soon, according to an economist.
Case in point: China. Per estimates by National Bank of Canada economists, approximately $12.7 billion was spent by Chinese buyers on real estate in Vancouver last year alone. This amount represents nearly a third of the $38.5 billion in total sales in 2015.
"China is not a great place to invest and relatively Canada is, it's certainly getting very expensive by western standards but it still appears to be cheap by major Chinese city standards," UBC's Sauder School of Business housing economist and professor Thomas Davidoff told Yahoo! Canada Finance.
The appeal of Canada's cities is such that some Chinese nationals manage to get way ahead of competing investors via the Shanghai-based Vanfun.com, which provides access to Vancouver properties on offer culled from the realtor MLS—a few days before these listings become publicly available.
Local industry professionals called foul on the Chinese-language website's use of the data.
"It's pretty frustrating. It's taking our copyrighted information and using it against our rules," Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver official Dan Morrison said in an interview with Global News.
"If they are getting access to our information on our system, if someone is giving them those numbers…that's clearly against our rules," Morrison added.
At present, no apparent ties exist between Vanfun.com and any local real estate agency. The website's owner, Shanghai Ruiying Internet Technology, splits commissions with Vancouver realtors and claims that it is collaborating with major banks.
"That they're taking a share of commissions is pretty unusual. [But] it looks like it's open season," Davidoff said.

The Making of a Justice
Reflections on My First 94 Years
A "timely and hugely important" account of his life on the Supreme Court (New York Times)
When Justice John Paul Stevens retired from the Supreme Court of the United States in 2010, he left a legacy of service unequaled in the history of the Court. During his thirty-four-year tenure, Justice Stevens was a prolific writer, authoring more than 1000 opinions. In THE MAKING OF A JUSTICE, John Paul Stevens recounts his extraordinary life, offering an intimate and illuminating account of his service on the nation's highest court.
Appointed by President Gerald Ford and eventually retiring during President Obama's first term, Justice Stevens has been witness to, and an integral part of, landmark changes in American society.
With stories of growing up in Chicago, his work as a naval traffic analyst at Pearl Harbor during World War II, and his early days in private practice, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at some of the most important Supreme Court decisions over the last four decades, THE MAKING OF A JUSTICE offers a warm and fascinating account of Justice Stevens' unique and transformative American life.This comprehensive memoir is a must read for those trying to better understand our country.

What's Inside
Reader Reviews
"Stevens delivers...on a handful of timely and hugely important themes, starting with the shape of American democracy...his defense crackles with spirit."—Emily Bazelon, New York Times
"Studded with cameos by boldface names...The new book lays out his philosophy through example, through cases and events that influenced his thinking."—Jess Bravin, Wall Street Journal
"A compelling look back at a fascinating life and career."—
"Provides much food for thought for law students, lawyers and those interested in the legal underpinning of our present national mess."—Neil Steinberg, Chicago Sun Times
"The inspiring legacy of Justice John Paul Stevens-including both the brilliance of his mind and the humaneness of his character-are well represented in his last book, The Making of a Justice." —New York Review of Books
"The memoir is a tale of a privileged childhood in Chicago, the ravages of the Great Depression and a family scandal, service as a wartime cryptologist and a charmed legal career as a Supreme Court clerk, appeals court judge and the third-longest-serving justice in the court's history."—Robert Barnes, The Washington Post
"To be 99 years old and still writing, in itself, merits acclaim. And a memoir by Justice John Paul Stevens, whose almost 35-year tenure on the U.S Supreme Court helped spur vast changes in American society, has indisputable historical value."—The Chicago Tribune
"Former Justice John Paul Stevens spent 35 years on the Supreme Court, writing some of its most important decisions. At age 99, he is still writing, including a new memoir, and weighing in on prominent U.S. issues today."—PBS Newshour
As featured in Bustle—Joseph D. Lyons, Bustle
"Stevens' illumination of the court's internal processes, accounts of cases, and often caustic opinions of its results form an important contribution to legal literature."
"The retired Supreme Court justice chronicles his impressive life story, including his 34-year tenure with the court...The author's consistently absorbing commentary on a wide variety of legal cases will require close attention by readers, but the payoff is worth it."—Kirkus

Program Details
No time is more crucial to our emotional and social development than early childhood.
That's why Great Circle offers the Incredible Years® program – a free, video-based program that provides parenting education to families with children at risk of abuse or child conduct problems because of risk factors associated with poverty.
The 10-week, evidence-based program helps parents or caretakers develop skills and techniques that will build positive relationships that promote a child's social and emotional competence and school readiness, and reduce behavior problems. Outcomes include:
- Improved parenting skills and techniques
- Strengthened parental competence, especially in using nonviolent discipline approaches
- Increased positive family support networks and school involvement
While parents and caretakers attend the adult sessions, their children ages 3-10 participate in the Dina Program®, Incredible Year's child component. It focuses on strengthening the child's social and emotional skills by helping him/her better understand and communicate feelings, use effective problem-solving strategies, manage anger, practice friendship and conversational skills, and develop other appropriate behaviors.
Great Circle's Incredible Years program in northeast Missouri is currently funded through a grant from the Missouri Children's Trust Fund.Learn more about Incredible Years and its developer Dr. Carolyn Webster-Stratton at http://incredibleyears.com. The program has been independently evaluated by researchers in the United States and other countries, through numerous randomized control group research studies using independent observations with diverse groups of parents and teachers.

"Tiger and I thought it might be time to start a meme to discuss some of the frustrations that are unique to book bloggers. What happens when the hobby you love becomes more of a chore?This meme will appear on the first and third Mondays of the month. Tiger or Karen will give us a question to respond to and a linky for sharing our responses and developing community.
This week's question is: Everyone LOVES that book! Why don't I? How do you handle being the one reviewer who doesn't like a book that's taking the blogosphere by storm? Do you write a review? Pretend you didn't read the book?
This has happened to me a few times. I read great things about a book. Every review is glowing. I am eager for the book. I buy the book. I settle down to read it. And I am underwhelmed. Sometimes I actively dislike the book and set it aside to never be finished. Luckily those books can find a place in my High School Media Center where they might find an audience among my book happy adolescents.
In one case, at least, in my blogging history I actively disliked a book and attempted to soldier on through and read it but did not succeed. I had real problems with Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver. I couldn't stand the style of the story which bordered on stream of consciousness. I hated the main character. Because I had heard so many glowing things about the book, I persisted. I set it down an picked it up again numerous times. I think I finally gave up on page 186. I was going to link to the review I wrote but I can't find it now. I am sure I wrote something after attempting it.
I know that every book isn't for every reader. We all bring our own needs and expectations to a book. I like a story with engaging characters who have strengths and flaws but are basically good people. I want a plot that is relatively straightforward. I want conversations. I want necessary description. I want some humor. I want some romance. I want a story that engages me.
I don't like books that are filled with lush description and meandering plots. I don't like unlikable characters being the protagonists of the stories I read. I don't like books that play around with English grammar. Books that are written in a stream of consciousness style with limited punctuation don't interest me. Stories that attempt to set time and place with massive amounts of made-up or archaic vocabulary aren't worth the work it takes me to read them. And I hate dialect. I have been assigned to read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn at least four times in my years in school. I haven't read it yet. The dialect defeated me. Bumped by Megan McCafferty almost reached my slang limit but I did finish that one. The interesting story line was enough to let me finish it.
I sometimes write reviews for books that I dislike but I seldom write a review for a book I don't finish. I do try to find some positives when I write that kind of review. Just because I don't see the wonder of the story doesn't mean that someone else won't adore it. It is more often the case for me that I will read a book that is getting rave reviews and think that the book was OK but not exceptional.
I have read lots of books. At an estimated 200 books a year for almost 50 years, I have really read lots of books. It takes something pretty extraordinary for me to rave about it. Less experienced (maybe less jaded) readers will have a different response than mine. Also, I am not a young adult. Some days I barely remember being a young adult even though I see and work with them every day. Books targeted to young adults can't always be expected to resonate with me as much as they do with their target audience.
I can't bring anything else to the party except what I am. When I write about a book, whatever I say is filtered through my reading experiences and my life experiences. How can it be any other way?

Hi Mary Jane,
Sounds like an awesome class! Good luck with it! Keep us posted on how it goes.
Quilled Creations
It would be helpful to include where the classes are: city, state, country?
Quilling April Flowers workshop will be held at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod in 307 Old Main Street, South Yarmouth, MA.
Thanks for asking.
Hi! I'm Jeni, and I teach quilling at FolkTime in Portland, Oregon.
It's a drop-in socialization program for mentally-ill adults; most of our staff
deal with our own mental-health issues too, so the environment is one of
compassion and understanding. Here at our "Free To Be Me" center,
there is no "us" and "them"; we've all had similar struggles and triumphs.
About a half dozen of our members are currently interested in quilling,
so we're starting the class up again after a brief hiatus. Our new classes
include some newer members who are very enthusiastic about this "new"
art form and can't wait until our next class! (Actually, I think it's tomorrow!)
Several years ago, some good friends in our church's craft group taught me
how to quill, and I made a lot of flowers, bunnies, teddy bears, and squirrels;
but life got busy (and messy) and I hadn't done it in a long time.
Now, with our class starting up, I'm really excited about getting everyone
proficient enough so that I can start making some pretties myself!

This is a story about running but really it's about yoga. And when we talk about yoga really we're talking about life. They're the same. How do we know that yoga is working? Our lives are better and more fulfilling; we have clarity and our relationships are improving.
The Sanskrit word prapti describes shortening the distance between where you are and what you want. Learning that where we choose to focus our energy is where our lives are going has been and remains the sweetest nectar of practice, even and sometimes especially when yoga/life is hard and hot, uncomfortable, aggravating, and there's a voice in our heads telling us that we can't go on or we're not doing it right and should give up and admit defeat. I've developed over time so much compassion and gratitude for that voice—my harpy, ungenerous, frightened inner critic—because as soon as it suggests failure, I know I'm doing something right. To feel afraid I won't succeed is proof that I'm taking a risk.
Growing up, I hated sports. Forced to serve time on teams, I wildly swung softball bats and slogged through swim practice, never hitting a home run or placing first. Assigned to defense on the soccer field, I skulked in the grass like Ferdinand the bull, braiding chain necklaces out of clovers. When the ball was kicked towards me, I jumped up and down, hands flapping, shrieking, "Somebody, do something!" In the seventh grade, I managed to get my orthodontic braces tangled in the badminton net during P.E. class. The universe had a message: it was better for everyone if I stayed on the bench.
After my father took over as our YMCA basketball coach when I was in fourth grade, he had a much higher stake in our victories and losses than I did. I would have preferred to hunker down with a paperback, lapping up a bowl of Rocky Road. Understanding that my dad and I would likely never bridge the divide between his obsession with and my aversion to activities that wouldn't appeal to a housecat, I showed up for my basketball games to support him.
My father is a born-again super athlete. After college and before law school, during a period he refers to as the "lost years," he supported himself as a pool player. He rented a creaky-floored apartment in Nashville, only blocks away from the house where he grew up on Fairfax, furnished with only a mattress on the floor. One day a little girl from an apartment above popped in and looked around before asking, "But where's the television?"
The scope of his ambition changed one afternoon while hanging onto the door frame of his parents' basement, when he realized he could only do one pull-up. Every morning since, for four decades, he's woken up while it's still dark so he can exercise. Last month, at 65, he finished a marathon in just over four hours, qualifying for Boston in 2016.
Throughout my twenties in New York City, I walked everywhere and practiced yoga, meditating regularly. As for running, I found it ridiculous that people willingly "did laps" or, on a treadmill, went nowhere as quickly as they could, with faces set in fierce and sometimes grim determination. I loved to sit still for hours, which I viewed as an integral part of my identity: not a competitive athlete.
Then one night, eating Chinese food shortly after my fiancé and I had broken off our engagement but were still together, I opened a fortune cookie that read, "You have to do the thing that you least want to do." Stabbing a piece of tofu with one chopstick, I determined that the last thing I'd ever want would be to finish a marathon. Feeling waylaid in romantic purgatory—knowing my relationship was over but not having the guts yet to let it go—the prospect of running struck me as radical. Necessary. I resolved to take on a marathon. I'd do it with my dad.
"How about the half?" my dad suggested gently, offering to email me a training schedule. This will be a breeze, I told myself as I set out to jog the following morning. A few blocks later, legs aching, I realized I had no idea what I'd gotten myself into. I had to learn how to run. First, humiliatingly, I had to learn how to walk. What had my arms been doing my whole life? Coming along for the ride. They had no idea how to get involved in what my feet were doing. Anger about my inability to quit my relationship got me started but I kept running because I got hooked. I leapt through snow and cyclones of trash, when my fingertips turned white from the cold, and on the evenings when I wanted most to get together with friends to drink red wine on fire escapes instead of taking Epsom salt baths because my body was so sore. Still, again, most days for months, I forced myself through those clunky rhythms until it was easier and more satisfying to run than not.
On race day my dad and I stayed side by side. Or, rather, he slowed his pace to stay with me. He timed every mile so we wouldn't burn out in the beginning. After awhile, I didn't mind the rain on my face and the cramp in my calf went away. When we got to the 13-mile mark in less than two hours, my father slowed down to let me cross first. I bounded over the final 30 feet in a rush of endorphins and gratitude for my dad. I hadn't broken any records, but secretly it stood as my triumphant Rocky moment: the reward in every step. I had challenged my view of who I was and what I was capable of, and the result was victory to my spirit. I felt my heart pounding; I felt strong in my body. My relationship with my then-boyfriend wasn't over yet but in that moment I knew that it would end and that I would be OK.
The idea that sweating and effort wasn't for me? Or that it was best if I didn't show up? Or showed up only to give up? These were only as true as I'd made them, and they weren't anymore.
Now 34 and happier than I've ever been, I choose joy every day. I choose bliss. That doesn't mean that I don't get upset, sad or frustrated, but I know that how I react is my responsibility. I choose to be here, wherever I am, and learning from as well as teaching my students to be present. That's the breath. That's the amazing grace of being present. On my steering wheel I taped a little piece of paper that reads, "It's not them." When I lose patience or get distracted or overwhelmed, I know I need to let it go. I know I can come back. I keep coming back. I fall and come back. I take bigger risks now, succeeding more and also failing better, with more courage. I don't run regularly but I'm on my mat most days. Sometimes when I don't feel want to, when it's hard and my eyes sting from sweat and I have a to-do list that's spilling over. It's never a mistake to practice. I don't always do what I know I need to do in order to show up and be my best in the world, but I know that practice is one of those cores. The times I feel I'm too busy or stressed are when I need it most. The extent to which we feel annoyed by anything in our lives is the extent to which we need our yoga practice.
To show up, to stay the course, to stay focused and intentional, to forgive myself when I get distracted and return to being mindful of my breath and to be present, to get comfortable getting uncomfortable, to trust this process as a catalyst for growth physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually: that's the practice. That's prapti. It's giving up complaining and excuses to make room for what we truly desire. No one else can do this for us. If you're searching for that one person who can change our lives, look in the mirror.

Kaden Everette has always been the black sheep of his family, the one unrecognized for his talent while his brother's name goes up in lights. But when the opportunity of a lifetime presents itself, he decides it's time to step out of the shadows.
In the Oxfordshire Emerging Artists Competition, no one knows him — or his family history. Except for his brother's ex girlfriend. Maybe it's twisted, but Kaden has always liked her — and wonders if she could ever like him back. And maybe that's not all of it. Maybe he doesn't just want fame. Maybe he also wants other things that his brother has — that he doesn't.
But there's another girl named Chloe who after a while, confesses that she likes him. And maybe it's messed up for him to lead her on, but jealousy is a powerful weapon.
But really, who cares about right and wrong anyway, when you're getting what you want?
Not just in the competition — in life, too.

The Professional Windsurfers Association has announced the provisional calendar for the 2014 PWA World Tour. Sailors will be visiting Turkmenistan.
The 2014 windsurfing season promises to be one of the most calendars in the history of the sport, with more events listed than on any schedule released to date.
The PWA World Tour has seven events that were not held last year and some exciting new destinations.
"Poland and La Torche represent important steps into markets that have strong ties to windsurfing, but have not had PWA events in recent years", the PWA team explains.
"Margarita and Bonaire will take us to the spiritual homes of Freestyle. Turkmenistan promises to chart new territory in the Caspian Sea, and is just one of many events already confirmed by contract".
The only event from 2013 not listed for 2014 is the Netherlands stage, but PWA believes it may be added later. The Maui and Chile events are both included on the calendar again.
