The video for Robbie Williams' Trevor Horn-produced comeback single "Bodies" is out, and it follows a pretty simple storyline: Williams is trying to get out of the desert, first by motorbike (which runs out of gas), then by car (which just so happens to be driven by a pretty lady, who gives him some company once night falls), then by plane (during which he flouts safety regulations and engages in a little bit of two-stepping on the wing). Interesting that despite the desert setting and the lyrical lamenting of just wanting to look good naked, Williams is clad pretty fully for most of the video. (Oh well!) Clip after the jump.
Man, this song gets better every time I hear it. Can we also talk about the suit he's wearing at the end? The fitted waist, the pegged pants… not a good look.

Report on the Political Situation in Bolivia
From: Laurel Dutcher, Program Officer, Latin America (September 15, 2008)
Dear Colleagues,
As many of you know, the Bolivian people are facing the enormous challenge of forging themselves as a multicultural democracy. Among the highly controversial issues are
- Drafting a new constitution which will ensure rights of all citizens: the indigenous majority as well as those of European and mixed descent,
- Establishing ways for all citizens to benefit equitably from the country's primary economic asset: natural resources (oil, natural gas, other minerals, and land).
The issues are complex, the stakes are high, and opposing views have become polarized. There has been renewed and sharply escalating violence since the August 10 referendum vote which confirmed President Evo Morales with more than 67 percent of the vote, and also confirmed the Governors of the states (called "Media Luna" or "Half Moon"), who are most vehemently opposed to the changes this administration is attempting to implement, particularly regarding distribution of income and land.
We, of course, have been in regular communication with our colleagues at ACLO. In spite of the disruptions caused by this political situation and the droughts and flooding resulting from an unusually extreme Nino cycle, our partners at ACLO have successfully met their program objectives in the first half of 2008. These include: ongoing training and support of the "people's reporters," specialized trainings for a cadre of leaders of development in indigenous communities, a new "radio soap opera" whose central character is a young woman taking on leadership in her rural community, and organizing disaster response and preparedness groups in communities hardest hit by the flooding.
At the same time, ACLO has been a strong public voice defending the rights of indigenous people, working to empower indigenous communities and their leaders to be knowledgeable, articulate, responsible and effective participants in the political process. An article by ACLO Director Rafael Garcia Mora gives background details of the situation. Our colleagues in ACLO write:
Consistent with our principles, we stand with the peasants and indigenous sectors, taking as our own the commitment to the constitutional process, we generate timely information and proposals to overcome the climate of polarization, particularly in the departments of South and municipalities in which they operate institutional teams.
The teams of ACLO Foundation, in Chuquisaca, Potosi and Tarija, are working with enthusiasm and responsibility, consolidating initiatives that are underway, promoting new initiatives and creating conditions for expanding the coverage of Radio ACLO toward the popular sectors of the cities (up to now, Radio ACLO has focused on only rural areas) of Potosi, Sucre and Tarija, beginning in July.
At the current stage of political polarization, the work of ACLO is not easy. People working in the institution are facing more risks. Radio ACLO received threats at its Tarija facilities, because it has a line information-oriented farming sector, indigenous and popular and, in Sucre, radical groups opposed to change assaulted a journalist who covered the information on May 24.
The Hunger Project Global Office has begun participating with the Bolivia Working Group (BWG), a Washington, DC-based coalition of organizations working to increase public awareness and understanding and influence policy makers on US-Bolivian issues. BWG membership includes Washington Office for Latin America (WOLA), Institute for Policy Studies and Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns.
Chirapaq, our Peruvian partner, is actively supporting strategies for a peaceful democratic process in Bolivia through their networks of indigenous organizations in South America.

Gen. David Petraeus isn't the only one under investigation following his resignation over an extramarital affair with biographer Paula Broadwell. Now, the FBI agent who launched the case is under investigation himself because he became "personally obsessed with it."
Affairs are always wrapped in secrets, but the question in this affair is whether or not any of those were state secrets.
A few weeks ago, Broadwell made some bold statements at the University of Denver about the consulate attack in Benghazi.
"I don't know if a lot of you heard this, but the CIA annex had actually taken a couple of Libyan militia members prisoner, and they think the attack on the consulate was an effort to get those prisoners back," Broadwell said. "It's still being vetted."
The CIA has denied Broadwell's claims that they were holding detainees -- possibly because it's been illegal to hold combatants overseas since 2008.
So, why did she claim to know that -- and what else did she know? Petraeus was scheduled to testify before Congress about the attack this week, and his sudden resignation on Friday caught many lawmakers off guard.
The timeline of notification started with Jill Kelley, a family friend of David and Holly Petraeus who lives in Tampa, Fla. She began receiving anonymous harassment over e-mail this summer accusing her of being flirtatious with Petraeus.
The FBI's cyber unit traced those e-mails back to Broadwell, and then discovered romantic e-mails from an account belonging to Petraeus -- but the agent who jump-started the investigation is now apparently afraid of Kelley.
A few weeks ago, FBI investigators seized Broadwell's personal computer, which was found to contain confidential documents -- but they didn't come from Petraeus.
President Barack Obama only learned of the investigation on the day after he won re-election.
Now, questions are cropping up over whether the FBI went too far or did not go far enough. In J. Edgar Hoover's day, he would direct agents to spy on the sex lives of public figures and then use that information for blackmail -- but if no laws were broken by Petraeus or Broadwell and no state secrets revealed, some wonder whether the affair is anyone's business but theirs.
The challenge with Petraeus is that a man in his position is not allowed to communicate with the press, but Broadwell appeared to act as his spokesperson while hustling her biography.
"This is not a hagiography," she said.
That certainly seems true as the investigation now also includes shirtless photos that the agent now under investigation sent to Kelley. He also broke the chain of command regarding the investigation by telling Sen. Eric Cantor about the affair two weeks before Obama learned of it because he feared it would be swept under the rug.

KSP Graduates Twenty-Three Teens from Driving Academy
Date of News Release: 09/10/2012
(Frankfort, KY.) Twenty-three students from twenty-one different schools throughout the state graduated from the KSP 'Drive to Stay Alive' (DTSA) academy. The program ran from September 5 9, 2012 and was held at the KSP Headquarters in Frankfort.
The 'Drive to Stay Alive' program teaches the students safe driving techniques by KSP instructors with hands-on road driving and classroom exercises, including the dangers of driving impaired, seat belt safety, distracted and aggressive driving.
Public Affairs Branch Commander Sgt. Rick Saint-Blancard explained that the 'Drive to Stay Alive' program was designed not only to decrease teen crashes but to provide students with the tools to be advocates in their own schools.
"The training includes topics such as collision causation, vehicle dynamics and skid control, backing skills, multiple turns and lane interchange, safety belts and air bags, evasive maneuvers, off-road recovery, and controlled braking," advises Saint-Blancard.
According to Saint-Blancard, the real potential of the 'Drive to Stay Alive' program begins after the students return to their schools.
"The students are teamed with an experienced state trooper to spread the message to other students in each school and within their community as well," he says. "The effectiveness of the program is based on the concept that a message conveyed by a fellow student carries more weight with other students and is therefore more memorable."
The DTSA students are evaluated and scored on the safe driving programs they present in their respective schools and communities. The students with the most effective programs, resulting in increased seat belt usage, are eligible for scholarship funds.
The DTSA program is funded through KSP and a grant from State Farm Insurance Company.
In 2011, there were 21,350 teen driving collisions resulting in 4,152 injuries and 63 deaths in Kentucky.
"The goal of this program is to save lives and especially those of our teenagers," says KSP Commissioner Rodney Brewer. "Our youth are the future of the Commonwealth and if we can get them to buy-in to this program becoming advocates for safe driving It will save lives."
Commissioner Brewer believes the 'Drive to Stay Alive' program will have a lasting effect on the students who graduate the program.
"We have given them great opportunities this week and have challenged their driving capabilities," says Brewer. "They have met people during this program who have shared stories that will stay with them for a lifetime."
For more information about the 'Drive to Stay Alive' program or how your school can get involved, please contact the KSP Public Affairs Branch at (502) 782-1780.

The feds bust a huge drug ring. They say it involved doctors who wrote bogus Medicare or Medicaid prescriptions for pain pills that ended up for sale by street gangs. The operation reached from the Motor City all the way to the southern border of Ohio and beyond.I heard about this operation last year and told you about a small part of it in my Problem Solver investigation last December. Now, federal agents are going after one of the alleged masterminds of that operation.Compassionate Doctor in Southfield is the place where a man that called himself Dr. Khan runs a home visiting doctor service. However, Dr. Khan is in trouble for being a con as in con man.The doctor, whose real name is Sardar Ashrafkhan, is one of 57 defendants busted by the feds in a giant Medicare and Medicaid prescription drug fraud ring."We really wanted to call attention to a disturbing trend that we are seeing that's demonstrated in both of these cases, and it's emerging between healthcare fraud committed by doctors and the illegal distribution of prescription drugs, which is contributing to the abuse that we're seeing on the streets," said U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade.She said the scheme netted $40 million of Medicaid and Medicare money using a network of dirty doctors, fishy pharmacists and even low level drug runners, who took the drugs to places like Ohio to sell on the streets."The indictments include charges against ten doctors, eight pharmacists, a physician's assistant and the owners and operators of pharmacies, clinics and home healthcare agencies," McQuade said.One of the doctors that worked for Dr. Khan at one time was Raafat Shehata. In December, I found Shehata caught up in another sketchy home visiting doctor organization. Telemarketers in Portage, Michigan would cold call seniors asking if they wanted a doctor to visit. Then a man, who called himself Dr. Abraham, would send out Shehata to call on vulnerable seniors, seniors who said there was no doctoring going on, just questioning to get their Medicaid and Medicare numbers. They all ran when I confronted them and closed shop the next day.Assistant U.S. Attorney Terrence Haugabook said our investigation shows the prevalence of this practice."We just appreciate everything that our media partners do to assist us in law enforcement in bringing things to our attention such as your investigative piece earlier. We appreciate the work that you all do and what the public contributes, as well," he said.The men I featured in my story last December were not charged in Wednesday's big bust. The U.S. Attorney's Office says there could be more charges coming.The man known as Dr. Khan was someone I had been investigating at the time of the other story because of his association with at least one of the men featured in my story.The feds say Dr. Khan demanded kickbacks, bribes and other inducements from pharmacies among other felonies, including possessing controlled substances with intent to distribute and healthcare fraud conspiracy. The people in his office said they know nothing about any of that.The feds say Khan and the others charged are big players in a home healthcare scheme that seems to be especially bad here in metro Detroit.

Today's guests:
Tim McManus — Vice President for Education and Outreach
The top ranks of your agency probably won't look the same no matter who wins the election in November. A second Obama administration will likely infuse the federal ranks with new leadership in key areas, and a Romney administration would make even more drastic change.
But many observers have complained that the process for nominating and confirming political appointees takes too long and is too cumbersome.
Tim McManus, the vice president for education and outreach at the Partnership for Public Service, joins In Depth to discuss hurdles in the process and how they can be remedied.
Presidential appointees face long, winding road to confirmation (related story)
Cindy Auten — General Manager, Telework Exchange
Video conferencing could be your ticket to a shorter work week and help your agency save at least $8 billion, according to a new report from the Telework Exchange and the Blue Jeans Network.
However, despite the survey's findings on the positive perceptions of video conferencing, an overwhelming majority of respondents — 76 percent — said their agencies are not fully taking advantage of video-conferencing solutions.
Cindy Auten, general manager of the Telework Exchange, joins In Depth to discuss findings from the report .

[QUOTE=Unregistered;524727]Is this sentence correct?
500 Euros is about 590 in dollars
500 Euros is about 590 in dollar
Should dollar be in plural or singular?
"Dollars" should be plural.
This is correct:
Five hundred Euros is about 590 in dollars.
when 'in ' precedes a noun, it should be always singular right?
Wrong. There is no such rule, and words following 'in" are either singular or plural depending on the meaning -- depending on how many there are.
you look better in person than in picture. OKAy
you look better in persons than in pictures. NO
You are correct here, but not because all nouns following "in" are singular. The reason "in person" is correct is because it is an expression, an idiom.
Examples of correct sentences:
Darryl's dog loves riding in cars.
The first time he rode in a car, he was just a puppy.
Since then, he rides in cars whenever he can.
In case of fire, break this glass.
Here is how to solve the math problem in cases like this.
However, many expressions starting with "in" don't have a plural form.
- in trouble
- in luck
- in sickness and in health
- in the event of
- in the money
But some do:
"When we were kids, we couldn't stay in bed all day."
"When we were kids, we slept in beds of eiderdown."
And some expressions have only a plural form:
"The moon walked on the ocean in shoes of silver light."
"Walk a mile in my shoes."
"In dreams you're mine all the time."
(but you can say, "I saw her in a dream.")

50,000 JB7s
Brennan has grown dramatically since 2008 with around 50,000 JB7s sold to customers in 79 countries.
There have been a few headaches along the way. We have to book production months in advance. At the end of 2009 we bought the entire global inventory of the vacuum fluorescent display used in the JB7 - we literally could not make any more. We sold out five weeks before Christmas and had to stop advertising. In 2010 there were shortages of key chips and CD mechanisms and in 2011 there were Hard Disk shortages because of the floods in Thailand.
There can be a waiting list for JB7s from time to time. See below for the current stock position.

Second hand value
Did you know - when second hand JB7s come up for sale on Ebay - they typically sell for 90% of the new price. We noticed that last Christmas a JB7 auctioned for more than the owner had originally paid!
"To say that JB7 has transformed my life would be an exaggeration, but it has certainly rendered it more enjoyable: it is marvellous to be able to call up all one's favourite music just by pressing a button."

Hi, I'm Jaden, a professional recipe developer, food columnist and food photographer specializing in fast, fresh and easy recipes for the home cook. Most of my recipes are modern Asian! About meFast, fresh & easy recipes for the home cook.
Friday, September 4, 2009
Hey guys! This week's Friday Favorites is from Rachael of La Fuji Mama, Steamy Kitchen's newest intern. Check out that bacon pinata!!!
-xoxo Jaden
You know the drill, from left to right, top to bottom:
1) Talk about a crappy job. How would you like to be one of the researchers monitoring all of the lovely "emissions" of livestock at a dairy center? Any takers? As the mother of 2 little girls under the age of three (and thus a pro at dealing with diapers, spit up, etc.), I feel like I'm especially qualified for this job (not that I'm volunteering). Tesco, a large supermarket company based out of the UK, has fitted the cows at its Dairy Centre of Excellence in Liverpool with a microphone, attached to a special collar, which picks up sounds from their stomachs. The information generated is used to determine how much methane gas they are emitting in hopes to find ways to reduce methane emissions (and reduce carbon footprint produced by milk production). Wow. I can see the business card now…"Cattle Fart Engineer"
2) Speaking of careers, I'm loving the story of Kari Brunson's career change. Brunson has been a ballerina for the Pacific Northwest Ballet for the past 7 years but just announced her retirement last month from the company to start cooking/staging full time for Ethan Stowell's (one of the star chefs of Seattle) restaurants. From ballet slippers to…..chef clogs. You can follow Kari's adventures on her blog called Anticiplate.
3) We recently stumbled across a beautiful blog called Show Shanti. It is about Shanti's journey to 15 culinary provinces in China to meet families who teach her their favorite recipes. Shanti is writing a cookbook featuring these recipes and the families who opened their homes to share them. The writing and photography are both beautiful and engaging. I was particularly intrigued by a post that mentions a dish called Bianzi Doujiao, braided string beans, made as a welcome dish for guests in one of the homes she visited.
4) In Dorie Greenspan's August 2009 Newsletter she featured a strange kitchen tool called a Granny Fork. It may look like a mutated fork, but it's awesome for mashing stirring and blending, and was one of the tools that Julia Child loved. I have since acquired my own Granny Fork and now believe that no one's kitchen is complete without one. I've discovered that it makes awesome guacamole and is wonderful for mixing up cake batter.
5) I recently tried my hand at home curing bacon (for an entry in Michael Ruhlman's BLT From Scratch Challenge). This must be why I have had bacon on the brain. I swear everywhere I look I'm seeing something about bacon! Take for instance these Bacon Flavored Mints that are described as tasting like a delicious slice of crispy bacon with just a hint of mint flavor. Is Bacon Breath is sexy?
6) One of the comics in Flagpole Magazine (a publication out of Athens, GA that covers art, entertainment, music, politics, events, etc.) is called Tofu Baby. Maybe this shows that I'm totally sleep deprived or that I haven't been getting enough adult interaction, but this comic just cracks me up. It features Tofu Baby, a little block of baby tofu that speaks with a lisp. The comic is written in a four-panelled, four-line-rhyme form, and covers deep topics such as running a lemonade stand or getting sunburned. Tofu Baby even has his own blog, the Tofu Baby Bwog.
7) Eat your peas, you must….with these Lightsaber Chopsticks. It would be REALLY cool if they actually were lightsabers. but….then…nevermind…ouch.
8) Some people don't just play with their food, they wear it on their skin. 25 ugliest food tattoos. How many tequila shots would it take for you to get one of these babies?
9) And we finish off our Friday Favorites back in the bacon corner…with Bacon Pinata…a valiant attempt, an epic failure. The idea was fill it with "meat treats" like pepperoni, sausages, and meatballs…but all did not go as planned–you'll have to go and read to find out what happened!
So glad you're liking your new Granny Fork — it's a terrific little low-tech tool, isn't it? Leave it to Julia …
And, on the bacon front … when I was at the Fancy Food Show in NYC this summer, I saw Bacon Lip Balm!
Good collection – thanks! I'm crazy about the photography in Show Shanti. Good find!
Oh my gawd! A Bacon pinata – is truly a must have!
Bacon pinata! Hah! Thanks for suggesting Anticiplate – what a lovely blog! I must hide that photograph of lightsaber chopsticks or my supernerd of a boyfriend will be begging for them >.< Lastly, those are the WORST food tattoos I have seen thus far. Enjoy the weekend
What a nice surprise to see my "mug" up on Steamy Kitchen. Thanks for getting the word out about my career transition!
Never mind the pinata, have you seen the bacon bra? It is wrong on so many levels. Google it.
bacon pinata?? count me in!!
Hi Jaden,
I love food, cooking, photography and food photography. I LOVE your blog!! I came across your blog when googling chap chae recipe. I can't believe I didn't find you earlier…
thank you for sharing your passion.
Susan from Boston
How did you find out Shanti's blog? She is a good friend of mine!
Fun choices Rachael! I gotta have me one of those Dorie forks!!
Thanks Lori! Yes, you really do need to get one of those forks. Hmmm, I think we should just start calling them Dorie Forks, I like that…
Jaden, I am tickled to death that you are giving Tofu Baby her due. I've been reading that strip in the Flagpole since Missy Kulik started it, and I love it. Now that I've moved from Athens, I still have to have my weekly Flagpole time….with Tofu Baby, of course!
Thank you for wisting me on your Fwidy Favowits. I wuv it!

The Staff Senate site has been created so that every staff employee can learn the purpose of the Staff Senate and how to get involved. The site will provide updates on issues and events affecting the staff at LSUS.
The LSUS Staff Senate was organized for staff employees in January 1994 to serve in an advisory and consultative role with the University Administration to promote understanding, cooperation, and communication within the LSUS campus community.
The Staff Senate is made up of representatives in every EEO group on campus. Those who serve on the Staff Senate are elected by their peers or by submitting their name to serve on the Staff Senate for a three year term.
The meetings are held on the second Wednesday of every month and are open to the public. We encourage your attendance and your involvement on committees as a non-senator.

Instead of moving his mother into an assisted-living apartment three years ago, Eli Portnoy rented condos for both of them, two floors apart, at Canyon Ranch Hotel & Spa in Miami Beach, Fla.
His mother received many of the same services and amenities that would have come with an assisted-living facility -- on-site doctors, healthy meals, a gym and a variety of wellness classes -- but in a far more appealing setting.
The kicker? Portnoy, a 57-year-old branding consultant, estimates that he saved $50,000 to $75,000 a year -- even including round-the-clock private nursing aides -- over what he would have paid for an assisted-living apartment luxurious enough for his mother, a retired New York art dealer who died in December at age 90.
A growing number of intrepid retirees, wary of spending years in an assisted-living facility or staying at home, are opting for arrangements that provide them with a full range of services and a greater sense of adventure -- fully staffed homes in Costa Rica, backyard bungalows on their children's property, so-called cohousing arrangements, full-time spa living and even serial cruises.
Assisted living emerged in the 1990s as a popular alternative model to nursing homes for older people who no longer felt comfortable on their own but were too independent for a nursing home. An estimated 733,200 people in the United States lived in an assisted-living facility as of 2010, the latest data available, according to the American Health Care Association's National Center for Assisted Living.
Typically, assisted living consists of a small apartment with services that may or may not cost extra, such as medicine management, personal care, housekeeping and laundry, meals, activities and transportation to doctors' appointments.
Now, some pioneers are piecing together similar services on their own in a setting more to their liking -- often with help from their adult children -- and at a price comparable to or cheaper than an assisted-living apartment. A one-bedroom unit in an assisted-living facility cost as much as $9,500 a month in 2011 before any add-on services, according to long-term-care insurer Genworth.
Of course, coming up with your own plan for care requires a lot more work than simply writing a check to an institution. Finding paid help you can trust takes time, legwork and background checks -- and there are no guarantees. The total costs can be hard to pinpoint in advance. It is tough to pull it all off without the vigilance of a good advocate, typically an adult child.
On top of that, getting a long-term-care insurance policy to pay your care expenses could take some negotiating. Still, they should generally be covered, as long as you need help with at least two daily-living activities, such as dressing or bathing, or cognitive care. Additionally, many newer policies have language about covering "alternative plans of care" that are developed in the future, says Rona Loshak, a long-term-care insurance broker in Roslyn, N.Y.
There aren't data available on how many people are forgoing conventional living arrangements in retirement, but experts in the field confirm the trend is growing and is likely to expand as 77 million baby boomers -- more likely to identify assisted living as an option for their parents -- head into old age.
"People are getting more creative in how they're spending their senior years," says geriatrician Lee Lindquist of Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. Even as they start to develop medical problems, "they don't want to spend their time in one room every day."
For those who prefer to follow their own path, here are several alternatives:
Going offshore
Americans have been retiring abroad for years, but going abroad for long-term care is relatively new. One of the pioneers was Bob Preston, a retired CPA and actuary in Sarasota, Fla.
For $3,500 a month, Preston rented a home in Costa Rica for his ailing father a decade ago, shared with two other patients. The price included a supervising nurse, three aides, a care coordinator and a chauffeur.
"We had tried everything in this country," Preston says, such as an assisted-living facility that cost $8,000 a month, including private help. He was frustrated by the lack of attention being paid to his father, the retired chief financial officer of a large pharmaceutical company.
For less than half that amount, his father was able to live in relative luxury in Costa Rica. He attended church on Sundays, took a group to brunch afterward and went out to dinner several times a week.
The arrangement lasted for three years, until Preston's father died in 2001. Preston says that even including his monthly visits, the costs were much lower than long-term care would have cost in Florida. The flight from Connecticut, where he lived, took four hours and 20 minutes, just an hour and 20 minutes more than flying to Florida.
Preston concedes that he had qualms at first. For the first month, he hired a bilingual caregiver from the United States to be on the scene. He checked every reference he could. He contracted with a local secretary to pop in unannounced.
It worked so well that he was making plans for his mother, long divorced from his father, to go there after she suffered a broken hip last year. "We tried a nursing home for six weeks in a five-star place," he says. "But she disliked it." His mother died in February, at age 92, while he was planning the move.
One of Preston's friends followed his lead, moving her mother to Costa Rica, where she lived until she died.

Dividends Count
William is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
There are two ways to profit from the stock market: capital gains and dividends. Some investors generally shrug off the few dollars they receive in dividends and focus on capital gains. However, over the course of decades, dividends play a relevant role in calculating the total return on investment. Let's take a look at three examples.
Over the past 10 years, dividends doubled the annualized return for Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), as you can see in the table below. Ten years ago, Microsoft traded at $21.87; that price rose to $29.77 as of the market close on Sept. 28, 2012, equating to a $7.90 per share gain or 3% per annum. During that time, Microsoft paid share owners $7.31 in dividends. Withdrawing the dividends and throwing them in a cookie jar would have increased annualized returns to more than 5% (229 basis points). Compound and reinvest those dividends on the market close of the day the dividend was paid, and the annualized return jumps another full percentage point (93 basis points).
*Total dividends paid between Sept. 30, 2002-Sept. 28, 2012.
**Assuming dividends were reinvested on the market close of day of payment.

Dividends boosted the total returns for Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT). As shown in the table below, capital gains for Wal-Mart amounted to a little over 4% per annum, increasing from $49.24 to $73.80 per share over the 10-year period ending Sept. 28. That's a gain of $24.56 per share. Wal-Mart paid $9.02 per share in total dividends during this period, increasing its annualized return to more than 5% (229 basis points). Reinvesting dividends would have increased annualized returns 176 basis points over capital gains, to nearly 6%.

**Assuming dividends were reinvested on the market close of day of payment.

McDonald's (NYSE: MCD), the highest performer in the group discussed here today, expanded its returns by the highest amount. The share price increased more than 15% per annum over the past 10 years -- from $17.66 in 2002 to $91.75 as of Sept. 28, with a total capital gain of $74.09. Pocketing the company's $14.92 per share in dividends over the past 10 years increased McDonald's annualized return by 214 basis points to 17.5%. Reinvestment of dividends would offer 351 basis points over capital gains alone, and 143 basis points over pocketing dividends, with returns approaching 19%.
*Total dividends paid between Sept. 30, 2002-Sept. 28, 2012.
**Assuming dividends were reinvested on the market close of day of payment; does not include spinoffs.

The power of compounding dividends expands over 20 and 30 years. Take the McDonald's example, and assume that dividends and stock price will increase at the same rate. In that scenario, a $1,000 investment morphs into $25,421 over 20 years, without the compounding of dividends. With 143 additional basis points by reinvesting dividends, $1,000 becomes roughly $32,375 -- an increase of almost $7,000 during the same time frame. Over 30 years, the difference between compounding and simply keeping dividends provides even greater returns. A 17.5% return changes a $1,000 investment into $128,170. A 143-basis-point increase from reinvesting dividends raises that amount to $184,210, a massive difference of $56,040.
Dividends make a huge difference with index returns as well. As you can see in the chart below, the S&P 500 returned a cumulative 77% over the past 10 years. The S&P 500 Total Return Index, which factors in dividends, increased 116% cumulatively. Annualized, this works out to 6% and 8% per year for the S&P and the S&P 500 total returns, respectively.
Dividends may seem minute, but reinvesting vastly increases your total return over the course of two to three decades. The differences can add up to tens of thousands of dollars. Dividends do count.

Senate set to approve huge 2013 spending billBy ANDREW TAYLOR
The Associated Press | March 21,2013AP PHOTO
Deputy Commerce Secretary for Resource Management Hari Sastry, left, looks over documents on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday during a break in his testimony in a joint hearing on sequestration.WASHINGTON The Senate moved ahead Wednesday toward a vote on a huge, bipartisan spending bill aimed at keeping the government running through September and ruling out the chance of a government shutdown later this month.
Chamber leaders announced Wednesday afternoon that a logjam that has stalled the bill since Tuesday had been broken and that the measure would pass by late afternoon and return to the House, where a vote on Thursday would send it to President Barack Obama for his signature.
A vote was scheduled on an amendment by Tom Coburn, R-Okla., that is aimed at shifting money within the National Park Service to try to make sure the White House remains open to tours. But even if its approved, the amendment would appear to fail to accomplish its goal since the reason for closing the White House tours were cuts to the Secret Service, not the Park Service.
Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., obtained a vote on an amendment eagerly sought by the meatpacking and poultry industries that would offer them relief from food inspector furloughs that threaten to intermittently shutter plants.
The measure would fund the day-to-day operating budgets of every Cabinet agency through Sept. 30, provide another $87 billion to fund overseas military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, and maintain a pay freeze for federal workers.
The measure gives the Pentagon much-sought relief from a cash crunch in accounts for training and readiness, gives veteran health programs their scheduled increases and sets the detailed, line-by-line budgets for agencies such as Commerce, NASA, Agriculture and Justice.
The measure leaves in place automatic budget cuts of 5 percent to domestic agencies and 8 percent to the Pentagon. The cuts have largely been unnoticed by the public but are making lawmakers uncomfortable, especially as intermittent layoffs known as furloughs begin to take effects next month.
The fear of those furloughs compromising safety at 173 airports slated to lose their air traffic controllers led Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., to seek to restore funding to prevent the layoffs. He was denied an attempt to amend the measure, which led him to drag out debate. But Moran relented rather than to deny other senators from winning votes on amendments.
Democrats have generally resisted efforts to fix the automatic cuts on an ad hoc basis, arguing that the so-called sequester needs to be replaced in its entirety as part of a broader budget deal.
The developments in the Senate come as the House resumed debate on the budget for next year and beyond. Republicans are pushing a plan that promises sharp cuts to federal health care programs and domestic agency operating budgets as the price for balancing the budget in a decade. That plan, by Budget Committee chairman and failed GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, also contains a hotly contested provision calling for transformation of Medicare for beneficiaries born in 1959 and after into a program that subsidizes health insurance premiums instead of directly paying hospital and doctor bills.
The House was set to consider a set of alternative budgets from the left and right on Wednesday before voting on the GOP plan on Thursday. The Senate was expected to begin debate of the budget Wednesday in hopes of a vote on Friday.MORE IN National / World BusinessMONTPELIER Lets not call this a beer run.

It's inevitable that you're going to have to go outside sometime during mosquito season, and spraying down with a can of "Off" before heading out the door might not be practical for you.
Joe Terrell tests a simple product called the "Bug Off" that might not be the ultimate protection, but it's inexpensive and it might just be better than nothing. But the question is: Does it Work?
Dr. Steve Presley is a researcher at the Institute of Environmental and Human Health and he has access to 500 hungry, female mosquitos. Dr. Presley raised them from larvae.
Dr. Presley and five brave souls plan to stick their arms into cages full of mosquitoes for our test. Bug Off is a little wristband. It looks like a round, colorful telephone cord. It's treated with citronella.
Two of our volunteers will be wearing the Bug Off on their right wrists. Dr. Presley explains what else will be needed for this test. "We're going to have a positive control which is Deet. We know it works. Each left arm will be negative control." What he means by that is, the right arm on each volunteer will have some sort of treatment and their left arm will be all natural.
After a quick wash, everyone was ready to take on blood sucking mosquitoes inside the insectary.
Now, I know what you are thinking. And no, there is no chance any of these mosquitoes carries West Nile. Because they were all raised here, Dr. Presley can ensure they're all disease free.
Rachel goes first. She's wearing the Bug Off on her right arm and nothing on her left. Each arm in separate tanks. Three men stand in as the official counters.
And the count? Five mosquitoes were biting her arm with the band. Fourteen were on her untreated left arm.
Ritchie was wearing the wrist band too. Only one mosquito doesn't mind the citronella, but a whopping 19 mosquitoes having a feast on his unprotected arm.
Walter has no band, just mosquito repellant with Deet on his right arm. The mosquitoes are staying clear from the Deet, but five are feasting on his untreated left arm. Les has on Deet too. Again, the arm sprayed with Deet is 100 percent guaranteed to repel those mosquitoes and is clean. And our observers count four bugs on his untested arm.
At this point, we've lost our itch to submit anyone else to this abuse.
Dr. Presley says he has all the data he needs.
So, "Does it Work?"
These were pretty controlled lab conditions, so we're confident saying, while the Bug Off bracelet with citronella is pretty effective, our test shows products with Deet are still clearly the best. We want to stress that. When you can, and the stakes are high, protect yourself with Deet. But you can't always spray, and the Bug Off is certainly better than nothing.
We give the Bug Off wrist bands, a yes.

Tim PinderTiffany, thank you for trying to preserve the English language in South Africa. I wholeheartedly applaud your efforts.
The thing that desperately requires saving is the 'ARE'. How many times have I heard 'We going to the Mall'? Or 'We going to buy a second hand car'. Aggghh, it offends my ears nearly as much as Naas Botha's 'quite a couple of tries'! Which I hear other, apparently intelligent people, repeat regularly. English Police, get out and make it stop before my ears bleed to death. Please!
caroline hurryGreat stuff Tiffany. Hear! Hear!
Jennifer DuncanThe worst thing about the apostrophe is that you end up doubting yourself. When absolutely everyone writes "enjoy music from the 60's" it feels somewhat churlish to be the only one to whom this is important. My personal bete noire is its and it's. It's a battle I'm intent on winning, even though mentioning its importance makes me sound like a crazy person.
Mariano CastrillonYou forgot my favourite : making plurals by adding apostrophe s. to a noun . For instance : potato's, photo's and many, many other insulting examples.
Ann DruceAnd the misplaced apostrophe in it's when used to denote possession.
Bob LewisWhat small little complaints you all have!
Angela HornBrilliant read...thank's...err...thanks...I'm off to share!
Saskia BuschTiffany, just two rules and now we all know how to use it! Finally! Thank you.
Your writing scintillates!
Lin HelmeLove it - I am the anal one in my office who likes to check everything before it goes out into the world - but the time it takes!! The worst culprit is the education department, where is my red pen?

It's November. Halloween is over and everyone prepares for the holiday season. As my friends and family use their social media pages to give thanks or encourage giving, I think of the wish kids who used their wish to give to others. I give you this week's Wish Wednesday: 3 Give Back Wishes.
We All Get Some Ice Cream: Thanks to Robin
At 5 years old Robin, was overjoyed when the ice cream man came to visit his neighborhood. But he noticed some of the kids didn't have enough money for the ice cream.
While overcoming cancer, Robin asks for a wish that is the essence of all that is good and selfless. His wish - to become the boss of the ice cream man and give every kid in his neighborhood a yummy treat.
Fifteen years have passed and Robin still has the same giving nature and willingness to spread the word of what a Make-A-Wish experience can do. Hear Robin recount his wish in a Then & Now video.
Bunny Blankets for every patient: Thanks to Lauren
While fighting through chemotherapy and radiation, Lauren's bunny blanket helped her feel better. It made her brave.
For her wish, Lauren thinks about the other patients in the hospital. She connects with their fear and their sleepless nights. She wants to pass along the feeling of comfort and hope. With a push cart overflowing with bunny blankets, Lauren hands delivers her gift to each patient. The patients understand, as only those facing a life-threatening condition can, and they appreciate her kindness.
And Lauren ... she knows it's possible to change lives.
Toys & Clothes for Homeless Children: Thanks to Jordan
Jordan wishes for a shopping spree. But he doesn't want new gadgets for himself - he wants to take care of the homeless children in his community. To create the perfect wish experience, the Make-A-Wish team united with Walmart, Domino's pizza and Cold Stone Creamery and two local organizations with knowledge on the needs of homeless children in the community.
He heads to Walmart stores where he finds carts and bins filled with merchandise. Every store gives him a discount, a check to supplement his shopping spree.
The gifts in tow, Jordan arrives at a celebration party where he meets the kids benefiting from his selfless wish. He joins them in donated pizza, cookies and ice cream.
At the end of the day, Jordan gives each kid a hug and a specially selected present, wrapped that morning by his family and Make-A-Wish volunteers. Each child thanks him for his generosity and compassion.
These wishes inspire me. In their darkest hour, the power of their hearts shined bright. They used their strength to encourage others that it gets better. To show others the joys of life that helped them fight their life-threatening medical conditions. Jordan, Lauren and Robin aren't the only ones. Read more wishes to give and feel their compassion.
Wish Nation gives you a behind-the-scenes look at Make-A-Wish®. See how wishes come together and how they change lives forever.

Whoever said the twos were terrible obviously didn't have the right toys. Two-year-olds are a delight to play with. They love pretending. They love action. They love just about everything. Well, as long as you let them call the shots. [Which is what these toys will do just brilliantly.]
Sorry, there are no products to display.
The kiddies are settled into their school routines,
pumpkin flavoured everything is back, and next thing you know - all of the
Birthday party and play date invitations start rolling in. To help you get
ready for all your classmate and family get-togethers coming up, I'd love to
share some toys that are new, hot, and oh SO cool! …

"You can change whatever you need to on these invites. We changed the directions to information. And then just included information on where to book a place to stay and what restaurants where around. Plus it was a good way to provide activities for people to do and other little information."
"Please be advised that although this product appears scalloped and my sample came as a printed scalloped design on rectangular paper, the design is not. It took multiple chats with WeddingPaperDivas customer service to fully understand that it can be rectangular. Other than that confusion this is a beautiful invitation and I am very happy with it!"
"I purchased this to match my poppy invitations and used this as my reception card. On the front of the card I included the reception address and time. On the back of the card I included a picture of the reception location and driving directions on the back of the card. The printing came out great and the picture I included on the back was perfect."
"FANTASTIC quality!!!!! Excellent customer service - were able to match my wedding color of tiffany blue EXACTLY & even helped me to make a last minute change after my order was placed. 100% satisfied with the final product! EXCELLENT card stock!"
"I chose the pearlized background and with the color of the print, I know the menu choices for the rehearsal dinner will be read by the recipients!"

Everyone with a drop of petrol in their veins fancies their chances as a racing driver, right? Well, one way to get your racing kicks is to try banger racing (destruction derby). So we had a go.
Toyota returns to Le Mans 24 Hours in 2012 with a new race car powered by a petrol hybrid powertrain.
