Four local softball teams are out to match their accomplishments of 2013, when Tracy schools had three league champions in West, Tracy and Millennium, with the Millennium team going on to win the Sac-Joaquin Section Division VII title. Kimball's team was denied a league title but finished as SJS Division IV runner-up, and the team plans to take the next step this year.
West Wolf Pack
West High coach Martin Torres has a lot of gaps to fill after graduating the core of the 2013 Wolf Pack team, which went 22-9 overall and 10-0 in the Tri-City Athletic League.
"It's going to be a different dynamic," Torres said. "I think the team understands that. They learned a lot from them last year. Everybody is looking to step up.
"It's a new chapter to the Wolf Pack softball book."
There's only one returning senior, Haley Hollis, who played both infield and outfield last year. Returning juniors are catcher Sam Asbra and outfielder/infielder Shelby Weeks.
Weeks, who expects to play infield this year, set a goal of batting at least .400 and repeating as an all-TCAL first-team player. Most of all, she wants to set the foundation for the younger players, including four sophomores — Brittney Reyes, Taylor Burns, Hailey Martin and Janae Sims — who return for their second varsity year.
"There are definitely talented freshmen and sophomores coming up," Weeks said. "They need to look to the older girls as sisters, and whatever they do reflects what we do."
Sims is back as the Wolf Pack's pitcher and said good leadership will make West successful.
"The girls from last year taught me a lot about how to be a leader and how to help my team and influence others," Sims said.
Tracy Bulldogs
The Bulldog softball team is making a transition from a San Joaquin Athletic Association championship team, which went 25-6 overall and 14-1 in the SJAA in 2013, to a team that could be even better this year.
The six returning seniors include three who have confirmed their plans to play at NCAA Division I colleges next year, but Smith likes to see rising players fill out the roster.
"I have a good group of juniors coming up who have been in the program since they were freshmen," coach Greg Smith said.
Senior Tayler Misfeldt, the SJAA's most valuable pitcher in 2013 and future pitcher for UC Riverside, said that the newcomers easily compensate for the players who graduated.
"I think we're going to have as strong a team as we did last year and we'll do it all again," Misfeldt said.
Tracy's main threat on the base paths continues to be senior Ellie Fisher, whose 102 stolen bases since her freshman year are a school record. Fisher, the SJAA's most valuable player in 2013, will go to Santa Clara University next year.
"I've not only grown for the past few years, I've met new people and became a better team player," Fisher said, adding that she aims to be a more powerful hitter this season.
Smith added that Jazmin Clarke, who has committed to Utah State University, is the best combination of speed and power he's had on the team.
The Bulldogs also have two third-year juniors in Hayley Nunes and Alee Balanon, and new players include freshman pitcher Mikayla Coelho and sophomore pitcher and infielder Sonia Reddy.
Kimball Jaguars
The Jaguars are powered by the momentum that got them to the Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV championship game in 2013. Only two seniors graduated from that team, and three of the six returning seniors are set to play at NCAA Division I colleges.
Sierra High was the only team that stood between Kimball — which went 25-8 overall and 11-3 in the Valley Oak League — and the VOL and Division IV titles. Danielle Lallos, a fourth-year varsity outfielder who will play at University of Buffalo in New York next year, said her returning teammates can help the new players understand what Sierra will bring to the field.
"The veterans need to step up and tell them, this is what you need to prepare for what (Sierra pitcher Allie Walljasper) is going to throw," Lallos said.
Senior infielder Llesenia Torres said that in her fourth year on the team, she expects to inspire younger players to keep making the team better than ever.
"When you're a freshman, you look up to upperclassmen. Now that we're seniors, we're trying to pass that along," Torres said.
"This year we should be going all out," she added. "All of us are confident that we can win the league."
Kimball coach Joe Hernandez expects Lallos and Torres, both all-VOL first-team players in 2013, to continue to be batting leaders. The Jaguars also bring back senior pitcher Amanda Riley, who has signed with Monmouth University in New Jersey, and sophomore pitcher Samantha Sarmiento.
Millennium Falcons
The Millennium High softball team brings back nearly its entire squad from the 2013 season, when the Falcons went 17-6 overall, 8-0 in the Central California Athletic Alliance, and won the Sac-Joaquin Section Division VII championship.
Coach Maegan Lunn has 13 returning players, mostly sophomores and juniors, and three new players.
"They definitely have the skills. They just need to put it together," Lunn said, adding that as a championship team, the girls will have to work harder than ever to defend those titles.
"I think it puts a target on our back. If they just stick to their game, they'll be fine," she said.
Senior infielder Ericka Dominguez said that a successful season last year builds enthusiasm for the coming season.
"It raised my confidence and all of our team's confidence. We just bonded as a family," she said.
Senior catcher Gabrielle Ramirez, now in her fourth year on the team, added that the Falcons were primed to win it all last year after finishing as Division VII runner-up the previous two years.
"The difference was our team was more united. We were more like a family," she said. adding that she feels the same enthusiasm in the team this year.
Returning players include sophomore pitcher Amy Wise, an all-CCAA first-team selection last year; fellow sophomores Jayda Jenkins, Alex Ramirez and Elisa Deras; and junior Riquel Rivera and Annalisa Repetto, who also made the all-CCAA list.

From the folks who brought you Politifraud (Politifact),here comes PunditFact. Actually, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's version of Politijoke has already been evaluating the statements of radio talkers and other pundits. Now, The Tampa Bay Times will have a separate product for "talking heads."
Allegedly this effort will evaluate statements by pundits presented as fact, not opinion. Here's a few hunches.
- Rush Limbaugh will be featured more often than any other pundit, followed by Sean Hannity and Mark Levin
- Statements that are really opinion from the above three will often be evaluated as if they are statements of fact and then "proven false."
- No statements by conservative talk show hosts will be rated true.
- Few, if any, statements by liberal pundits will be rated as false.
One more: the "evidence" proving statements false will often be opinion, just as it is now with Politislant.
And I'm guessing the J-S will jump on board with a "PunditFact" of its own, just as it did with Politiconservativesalwayslie.

Miller Grove used an aggressive zone to open up a close game in the second quarter and Kyre' Hamer scored 30 points to lead the Wolverines to an 80-69 win over Tucker.
After a competitive first quarter, the Tigers (8-5, 4-3 Region 6-AAAAA) were hanging in there down just 28-22 with 4:19 left in the half when the four-time defending state champs made their move.
Pushing the speed of the game with a tightly guarded zone that bordered on a trapping defense on the perimeter while locking down the frontcourt, Miller Grove took Tucker out of its game, igniting the Wolverines (17-3, 10-0) on a 17-3 run that carried over into the second half.
"It really was just a change of pace just to try some different things," Miller Grove coach Sharman White said. "We had gameplanned it, so we knew we wanted to do it. We just wanted to mix it up and see what kind of reaction we would get out of them with it. It helped us."
That, it did, becoming the impetus for a run that stretched the lead to 20 at 45-25, and the Tigers would never get it back below 9 again. The defensive pressure also helped them force 21 turnovers, 11 in the first half.
The 80 points was the second-highest point total of the season for a Miller Grove team that's seemed more comfortable playing games in the 60s than the 80s this season. But that doesn't mean the scoring side of the ball was the key in this one.
"Our offense comes from our defense," Hamer said. "If we play terrible defense, our offense is going to be awful, we're going to have low-scoring quarters. I can say defense, that's us."
The offense wasn't bad either, especially from Hamer, who made four 3-pointers in the first half, including three in a 3-minute stretch of the second quarter to keep Tucker at arm's length.
In the second half, he did most of his damage inside the arc, driving to the basket and helping the Wolverines soften up a Tucker defense that features 6-foot-10 Jabari Craig and long-armed, 6-7 Davonte Fitzgerald.
"(Getting inside) was really big, because they're so big on the inside," White said. "For us to get some buckets on the inside, it kind of kept it a little honest on the outside so they couldn't just crowd our perimeter guys and force them to take some bad shots, force them to do things outside of the plan of what we wanted to do."
Fitzgerald led Tucker with 27 points on 7-of-16 shooting. Teammate Jon Dunmyer had 21. Keith Pinckney had 12 for Miller Grove.

New Kira's Grill owners offer Russian delights
Kira's restaurant has new
owners and some new menu items.
Sergey and Svetlana Kravchenko, of Blaine, took over the business in February after former tenant Jean Luke moved and have performed extensive upgrades to the restaurant's dining area and menu.
Sergey, a former security guard and all-around handyman, built new wooden tables, installed new carpet and baseboards, and added a new coat of paint. Svetlana, a long-time baker and Red Cross social worker in her former hometown of Rostov-on-don near the Don River in Russia's Southern Federal District, cleaned the restaurant's kitchen to a sparkle and added new equipment including a second deep fryer to keep fish and fries for the restaurant's fish and chips separate.
The menu continues to offer many of the same dishes served by Ms. Jean (minus the catfish and collard greens) but with the addition of Russian soups, breads, cabbage rolls, and traditional Russian dumplings filled with chicken or pork (pel meni) or potatoes (vareniki) and topped with sour cream and vinegar (this reporter recommends the potato option with a healthy dose of hot sauce).
Recipes for many of the Russian menu items such as borscht, a low-fat Russian vegetable soup, are derived from restaurant founder Michael Kira's cookbook "Unique Traditional Russian Cooking" that focuses on healthy cooking using lots of fresh produce.
Svetlana said while most Americans consider borscht a red, beet-based soup served cold with a dollop of sour cream, the term borscht, or borsh in Russian, can mean any vegetable-based soup and includes varieties such as green vegetarian borscht, vegetarian cabbage borscht and borscht with meat.
Svetlana, who bakes traditional Russian breads daily for sale at a Terry's Farmer's Market in Birch Bay, makes the soup fresh daily ($1.99/ cup or $2.99/ bowl) and recommends a bowl accompanied by one of her hand-made purozkee, or a large, meat-stuffed pastry served warm ($1.99).
Other baked goods include loaves of Italian ciabbatta, Italian buccato, Hungarian sourdough, flax multi-grain and dark Russian rye breads ranging in price from $2.99 to $3.99.
Sergey said they plan on offering ice cream from Edaleen Dairy in the upcoming months along with locally-grown fresh fruit and also specials for students between 3 and 5 p.m. including a $3 hot dog or hamburger and soda, and a $3 happy coffee hour between 10 and 11 a.m. with Russian sweets.
Kira's Grill is located in the Blaine International Center between Cost Cutter and Rite Aid. They are open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and can be reached by calling 332-2240.

JC Penney 'Valentine's Day Massacre' coming?
Insiders are reportedly worried about rumors that the retailer's CEO will lay off hundreds at the corporate offices this month.
There are rumors that CEO Ron Johnson may lay off at least 10% of the 3,000 employees working at the company's headquarters in Plano, Texas.
Johnson may have been itching to do this for a while but may have wanted to wait until the company's new fiscal year began, the Post reports. That's because laying people off costs money -- in severance pay, for example -- and Johnson didn't want to load up the previous fiscal year with even more expenses.
Sources tell the newspaper the company is running low on cash. And its third-quarter earnings report confirms it, showing that at the end of October J.C. Penney had $525 million in cash -- down from $1.1 billion a year earlier.
Johnson was asked about the rumors Wednesday on CNBC and didn't give a definitive answer. Here's what he said, according to The Dallas Morning News:
"No, no. There are a lot of rumors. We have a rumor a day, it seems like. Today it's about layoffs at our headquarters. I would never talk about that, but you've got to separate the facts from the rumors. Ultimately, we need to have the right cost structure for the business and we have to grow. And we're going to be sure we do those two things."Johnson has been busy bringing in outside brands to stores, including Martha Stewart and Joe Fresh. Something has to give when you're making that kind of pricey investment, and the Post reports that the ax will likely fall on the designers and other employees who develop Penney's private-label brands.
Already, the Post reports, private brands like St. John's Bay and Arizona are starting to disappear from stores.
More on moneyNOW
shareholder greed is running the company, milk more profit with less people, less variety. That's happening to a lot of companies now. The shareholders tell the company how to run the business even though they have no experience running a company, they want to tell the company how to run. The way to a successful business is the customers always right, because they are the ones spending their money. Shareholders need to stay out of business dealings unless there is gross negligence on the ceo's part. I call the new breed of shareholders leeches, because they just want to suck the blood dry out of a company in search of more and more profit. How much is enough, People?
J.C. Penney's is in the same trap that most American retailers have put themselves into (or, will soon realize). Since they chose to stock their shelves with exclusively foreign-made goods (China, India) - essentially supporting the Outsourcing of American manufacturing jobs - Americans now have LESS MONEY to spend. Accordingly, Americans ONLY BUY from J.C. Penney's, when they throw a Killer Sale, and mark things down 50% or 60%. That's how it goes.
Penney's (and most other American retailers) pursued the Siren Song of huge short-term gains in their bottom line....at the expense of having ANY FUTURE AT ALL. The chickens are only now coming home to roost, and it will be MUCH WORSE, over the next few years. I see a lot of people walking around, looking like they bought their clothes at the Thrift Shop - and many probably did. That might be depressing for some, but it is LETHAL for Retailers. OH, WELL.
Getting rid of St. John's Bay and Arizona are a huge mistake. Have worn both product lines, and St. John's Bay is an exceptionally good product; you'll be hard-pressed to find a better value in heavyweight or denim shirts.
JCP needs to get rid of this management team and bring in some people who understand what St. John's Bay and Arizona are. Only way I can see to make St. John's Bay better is to put someone in charge of that line who understands outdoor and tactical apparel. Add a true outdoor/tactical edge to that product line and you have a run-away winner.
Martha Stewart makes no sense at all. It's a Sears/Kmart brand that doesn't compel anyone to buy it. No better way to sink your own stores than to fill them with competitors' brands that have no chance of selling in your store. Considering you have an Apple guy running this company, this would be like sticking Palm Pilots in an Apple store.
The cash-burn rate here is astonishing. They've burned through 50% of their cash in one year. They will be lucky to make it to the end of this year; if they do, they're done first quarter of next year. I've said that their new store idea would take three to five years to work, and that they're lucky to have five quarters left. The cash burn rate does not lie, and is going to accelerate through this year.
Been around retail over twenty years doing outside contract financial-related work, and have been in JCP stores in that capacity. If you spend an entire day in one of their stores, and know how to look around, you would come to the very reasonable conclusion that JCP is a Chapter 7 waiting for a time and place to happen.
The members of the Board at JCP have plundered the assests for their own gain. They are, and have been over compensated for decades. No wonder on one wants the stock. The money goes into the pockets of the Board members and the Board members appoint Manaagement to ensure the process goes on and on and on and on.
The JCP brand doesn't represent families anymore. It's all about catering to every group except working families with kids in school. I find more value at the local thrift store.
I was looking for St John's bay the other day - loved their shirts - reasonable quality and MUCH cheaper than Tommy Bahama's - nothing similar in the stores - guess i will be heading to Kohls.
Ron may be the only persaon left there to turn out the lights - they missed their chance right before Christmas to admit their mistake and pick up on the Christmas season sales - Spring time is already here and back-to-school is too far away - the stores will be empty by then as the mfg's start to rethink their committment because Ron can't guaranty enough traffic in the stores to justify the expense to the mfg of paying for their portion of the store-within-a-store. Prices aren't competitive and no one is there to make that impluse buy when they are "sale" shopping. I still contend the only positive thing to come out of this will be a business school case study of how not to run a major box retailer. Ron doesn' really care other than his pride - he's got his $50MM now and that will go a long way to supplement his unemployment - Ackman controls the strings and as long he is stupid enough to buy into Ron's BS and he can short sell and still have his investment covered he doesn't give a rats **** what happens - wait another 2 weeks when the earnings report comes out LATE - not enough cash on the balance sheet to keep funding the transistion and not enough cash flow - creditors are tightening the reins - will be hard to get merchandise when mfg think you might file - tick tock tick tock

HoopsHype Darko Milicic rumors
Darko Milicic, former NBA basketball player, attended a meeting held by Serbian Radical Party in Novi Sad, where he expressed his support for The Hague indictee Vojislav Seselj. "What hurts me is that we Serbs, in our Serbia, cannot behave as Serbs. That is a problem. The man has been in The Hague for 10 years, and we can't say his name here in Serbia. Our neighbours, with whom we had issues, welcome their ICTY indictees as heroes, they have billboards," said Milicic. "Here in Serbia, we mention Seselj and get arrested. A lot of my friends ask me if I believe it was smart to come to the meeting of Radicals. And I said that I have never in my life though about whether something is smart, but I have always done as my heart told me to. From what I have seen on the TV in the trial to Seselj, I can only congratulate Vojislav on his posture and I hope we will soon see him here. Kosovo is Serbia. Cheers!" he added. In Serbia News
"Whenever you take a raw, young player, there's a risk to it," Dumars said. "I don't know if you can ever eliminate the risk of taking young big men. I just think you have to have faith that if you take a young big and it doesn't work out, I don't think you can be gun-shy about the next young big that comes along, like an Andre. There's no foolproof method to this. There's no exact science to this. We saw Andre and the thought of not taking him because Darko didn't work out never entered the equation. Not even remotely. It's a part of this business." Grantland
Darko Milicic is in Italy these days to participate at the World Carp Classic 2013 in Bolsena. The former NBA player is still free agent after he left the Boston Celtics early last season. Sportando
Chauncey Billups said if Pistons had drafted Melo or Bosh rather than Darko, they might have won multiple titles: "If he had drafted either Melo or Bosh, I think maybe that whole team would still be together,'' Billups said. "We probably would have more championships down the road. But this is the NBA and things happen. But, of course, I always think about that.'' Sulia
Darko Milicic about coming back to the NBA: "No more chances. It's a done deal" MVP
David Kahn: Darko, we played Darko. Kurt Rambis and Dave Wohl both were big proponents of making the trade. And once we obtained Darko, I could see what they were talking about. Darko has enormous skills. Both Kurt and Bill Laimbeer played the big-man position in the league and they felt if it ever worked out for him psychologically, he could be one of the top three or four centers in the league. And gain the risk point was quite low when we made the trade and even the contract we gave him that many people talked about was really no more than what a backup center gets in our league this days, about $4 million a year. We didn't pay him as a starting center even though we had him ticketed as our starting center. So I think there were some reasons to do it and I recognize those reasons even today. One of the things I wished we had done a better job of there was, I only learned after he left, I think there were some family pressures. He had so many visitors, so many family members here at times, there was a lot of pressure and stress in his life that maybe it would have helped to overcome. Minneapolis Star-Tribune
When I mentioned the name Darko Milicic, who was infamously picked by the Detroit Pistons behind LeBron James and ahead of Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in 2003, a scout who played in the league said, "Darko didn't want to play basketball. You can see Alex does." Baltimore Sun
The Detroit Pistons had the chance to draft Anthony in 2003 but instead used the second overall pick on Darko Milicic, who was drafted after LeBron James and before Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. Milicic won a title as a rookie but played sparingly. He never lived up to his pre-draft hype and the Pistons' demise was accelerated because of it. "That's a big what if," Wallace said of the Pistons not drafting Anthony. "It was possible. They went with who they went with. That's the best I can say about." Asked if two or three titles would have been possible had the club selected Anthony second overall, Wallace said: "Hell yeah, with the squad we had. We were running the East for six years. But it just wasn't in the cards for us." New York Daily News
The Boston Celtics announced today that they have waived center Darko Milicic. "Darko has asked us to release him so he could deal with a personal matter," said Celtics President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge. "The whole Celtics family wishes Darko and his family well." NBA.com
You have two 2012 draft picks playing with the D-League's Maine Red Claws. If Darko Milicic was to depart, would one of the rookies get called up? Doc Rivers: "I don't think we're in any rush to do that. If we see somebody out there that we think can help us if Darko leaves, then yes. If not, patience usually helps in our league. Especially after the All-Star break, guys get released, other guys become available. I think we'll be patient." Sports Radio Interviews
His desire to help his loved ones is the reason why he left them in the first place at the age of 13. Milicic grew up the son of two parents with little knowledge of basketball. Sports and athletics were not a priority for the family in Yugoslavia. They were trying to make it each day in a war-torn country. "My parents did everything they could to survive," Milcic recently told CSNNE.com. "They did a lot of stuff, a lot of stuff. My mom was working a lot of jobs in her life, my father too. My father also worked on the side to make money." CSNNE.com
The 13-year-old would have to live on his own and learn how to support himself. Milcic made the move. "[I lived] by myself," Milicic, now 27, said. "I was making money then playing basketball, I signed a contract when I was 13. It's easy [to support yourself] because we go through a lot of [stuff] as young guys back home, so we are by 13 already grown. You can go by yourself. It wasn't hard for me. During the bombings we went through a lot of [stuff]. For me, it was good to play basketball. I didn't think about [being on my own] because it was just two hours from home." CSNNE.com
Milicic, expected to serve as the primary backup to Kevin Garnett at center, has played just five minutes this season and left the team before Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons to spend time with his mother. Rivers said he saw an immediate change in Milicic's disposition when he found out the news about his mother and doesn't expect the former lottery pick back. "Most likely (he's gone), yeah," Rivers said. "Honestly the stuff with his family has been going on for a while. We've talked about it three or four times. It's probably 50-50, but once you get the one side working, it's always going to win out. It doesn't look like (he'll come back." Boston Globe
Video: Doc Rivers admits Darko is "most likely" done in Boston: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUfaSsJd1ZU&feature=plcp … Twitter
Greg Payne: Doc noted that once family issues come into play, it can be difficult to focus on basketball. The issues were hurting Darko's mindset. Twitter
Darko Milicic, signed in the offseason to provide depth in the frontcourt, reportedly has been considering returning to his native Serbia to be with his ailing mother. Milicic, a bust as the second overall pick in the 2003 draft, has appeared in just one game for the Celtics. "It's up to him right now," Rivers said. "He has some family issues, more his mom. Not playing, and being in another country, and the NBA hasn't gone exactly great for him over his career. So, it's a lot of reasons for him to want to leave. And I understand that, and I told him that. So, I pretty much left it up to him. He has my blessing either way." WEEI.com
The Celtics have two 2012 draft picks playing with the D-League's Maine Red Claws, but Rivers said that if Milicic departs, it doesn't necessarily mean one of the rookies will get a call-up. "I don't think we're in any rush to do that," Rivers said. "If we see somebody out there that we think can help us if Darko leaves, then yes. If not, patience usually helps in our league. Especially after the All-Star break, guys get released, other guys become available. I think we'll be patient." WEEI.com

Here's to Your Investing Health
Kyle is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
"The first wealth is health." – Ralph Waldo Emerson
I haven't written much (translation: anything), about healthcare stocks due in large part to the Obamacare/Nobamacare/election, fracas that is swimming around every one of us like starving sharks at feeding time. Following the Supreme Court's ruling concerning the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA, more commonly referred to as Obamacare), I think it's time I started paying attention (after all, it's free). So now that we are in the midst of QE-infinity and are moving closer to a full slate of highly-anticipated debates, and ultimately, a heated historical election, it's time to give a few of these holdings some serious homework and possible consideration. I just hope we get colorful mediators to keep us entertained for those Obama-Romney verbal slugfests.
Now provided which analysts we tend to align ourselves with, chances are we may have had a decent little run-up after the controversial decision was presented (all 193 pages of it makes for enthralling reading). The initial, knee-jerk, post-decision mantra was "insurers bad, Medicare providers good." I realize that has the flair of plain Greek yogurt, but most of those folks aren't blessed with the gift of creativity. But the moves made by some of these companies since the decision don't necessarily jive with what we were told. Cigna (NYSE: CI), has had a nice, steady 6% move up from June 28th levels and looks poised to make a run at 52-week highs ($40-$50 range) after we make it through what will surely be a wonderfully volatile October. I'm going to be honest (as always, unless your cooking is borderline inedible), I don't care much for the ancient insurer, especially since we have others in the space that offer loyal shareholders better than a 0.1% dividend yield. It's a stoically solid company, don't get me wrong; it's been around since the 18th century, but there are others I'm keeping an eye on instead.
On the other side of the healthcare coin (tails), WellPoint, Inc. (NYSE: WLP) has moved 12% to the downside since the Supreme Court's conclusion. So once again, the analyst mantra makes perfect sense, of course. This name actually has "Medicaid and senior markets" in their company profile, and is currently hovering close to the low end of their 52-week range ($52-$75). The stock is well off its April highs, and down 14% year-to-date. Depending on which broker you ask (14 cover this company), you'll get a broad spectrum of opinions with this one, as price targets are set anywhere from $59 to $83. I think WellPoint has more upside than Cigna, and it pays loyal shareholders a respectable 2% dividend yield, doling out $1.15 per share annually. But I'm still searching.
Neither of the two companies mentioned boasts a spot in the top-ten holdings list of the Health Care Select Sector SPDR (NYSEMKT: XLV), for those folks that enjoy a bit of safety from an individual stock and its proclivity for volatility. This ETF has been recommended by Josh Brown (Reformed Broker) on numerous occasions, and I tend to align myself in his camp, not only because he has great taste in music and a similar scathing sense of humor, but because he actually makes sense. Investing with this ETF provides calm in most market storms; just take a look at the list of holdings in the shelter (Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Merck, Abbot, etc.). The upward momentum since the High Court's judgment has been a steady 7%, and it's about 14% to the good, year-to-date. The ETF expense ratio is well below the category average, and the fund presently lists their yield at 1.93%.
You know we can't stop there, since it is my steadfast duty to attempt to mention high-yielding performers that could potentially provide us the opportunity to literally swim in garish returns. For those of you that don't know me (or care), it has been stated on several occasions that I am my mother's favorite spawn, despite the fact that I am an only child. During weekly conversations with the woman that makes this post possible, she has mentioned Ventas, Inc. (NYSE: VTR) more than a few times. The company is a healthcare REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust, for those family members who don't know – or care), investing in hospitals, managed care facilities, and the like. Since the company is a REIT, they must return 90% of taxable income to investors. As such, Ventas drops $2.48 per share this year in loyal shareholders' buckets, which amounts to a juicy 4% dividend yield. To go along with that tasty morsel, the company has returned investors 12% year-to-date, and the share price has moved up almost 9% since June 28th (in case you stopped paying attention, that's the date of the Supreme Court's verdict).
It might be wise to consider "safer" spots with the brutal market month of October slowly approaching, and the looming election that at least one-third of our nation will surely participate in, sadly. Rather than riding the waves with individual names (unless we consider the prospective robust revenue and net income growth Ventas looks to offer), the Healthcare ETF offers a wide variety of stocks in one name, protecting our invested dollars no matter who gets elected, what gets repealed, or how bland and dry the mediators are for those debates.

random teddy hotness
Thursday, May 11, 2006
Today's Random Hotness actually comes courtesy of last Saturday's Video Hits... I was lazing around on my sofa, watching the music videos, when suddenly Teddy Geiger appeared on my screen.
I couldn't tell you what his song was called, but I was instantly captured by his eyes... he has the best eyes! I have to say though that he looks better in motion than in photos. And it looks like I'm not the only one who noticed him this week, given he got a mention over at Tottyworld too...

At an event, a troop leader noticed that the diversity of the girls did not match the diversity of the community. She talked with her council staff and found that they had identified a potential for membership increase among the Hispanic communities in her area. She partnered with the Service Unit Team to create and implement recruitment strategies to reach both girls and adults and new ways of work to support new members. As a result, Hispanic girl membership rose by 14 percent and adult membership by 15 percent last year. While those new members participated in series and camps, 78 percent of them participated in troops.

Hello all,
I don't have my copy of The PRS Book handy, so I hoped perhaps some of you might have the information. How many guitars did PRS make in 1985? If memory serves, I think it was about 400? Does anyone have an estimate of the percentages of Custom vs. Pre-Standards? Any idea how many of each color? What are the current prices?

William Shatner built a reputation on "Star Trek" in the late 1960s as an egotist who loved to hog the spotlight.
He has since spent the past four decades deconstructing and mocking his aggrandizing public persona in TV ads, talk shows, documentaries and now, a one-man show. Shatner stops by the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre Sunday, providing fans a two-hour trek through his life – from his early acting days doing Shakespeare through the "Star Trek" phenomenon to his more recent successes on TV, including "The Practice" and "Boston Legal."
How well do you know Shatner? Take this quiz.
The energetic 81 year old talked to the Atlanta Journal Constitution recently to promote his show and, of course, himself:
Q: What should we expect when we see the show?
A: It's great entertainment. I've gotten wonderful reviews both in New York, where it opened, and on the road. People are laughing. They're crying.
Q: Do you want them to cry?
A: There are places where I hopefully touch them. Tears and laughter. It's two sides of the same coin.
Q: How did you format the show?
A: I had a number of stories I've told before or still want to tell about meaningful things that have happened to me. The concept is saying yes to life, yes to opportunity, instead of being negative. That was my core thought.
Q: Does the show change much from night to night?
A: It's a tight 95 to 100 minutes. There are a lot of verbal cues for visual things. But in between, I have opportunities to change it somewhat.
Q: Do you ever get tired of talking about yourself?
A: I'm doing six interviews today. You do get tired of it. In the one-man show, in effect, I'm playing a character that resembles me. No matter what an actor does, he's playing a slight variation of himself.
Q: Will you sing?
A: I sing the last number. It's a song I did with Brad Paisley.
Q: If you were on the old 'American Idol,' how would Simon Cowell critique your singing?
A: 'You've got a lot of hutzpah, Shatner!'
Q: How's your relationship with George Takei at the moment? It seems like you guys are always arguing about something.
A: He's got closed ideas that unfortunately for him I can't seem to break through in a lifetime. I haven't seen him for major lengths of time. I don't know what he's holding on to. You think that he could just let it go. We're close to dying as it is!
Q: What did you think of the last "Star Trek" film?
A: J.J. Abrams did a wonderful job opening "Star Trek" to a new generation.
Q: I saw you at DragonCon in Atlanta in 2009 with Leonard Nimoy. How does DragonCon compare to the other sci-fi conventions?
A: It's the best. The fans seem more joyful there than in San Diego [where Comic-Con is held]. I've been there a couple of times and I hope to do it again.

Meng was first elected to represent Flushing in 2008 and re-elected in 2010, taking over the seat held by her father, Jimmy Meng, who in 2004 became the first Asian-American elected to the state legislature. (He left after one term amid questions of voter fraud.)
If elected, Meng, a trained lawyer and mother of two children, would be the first Asian-American elected to Congress from New York.
The history-making potential of her candidacy has been a key part of her public profile. Her official biography says she "is proud to have been elected to the New York State Assembly on the same historic day as President Barack Obama."

The world is such a strange place. Faced with the burgeoning demand sunny land in the southwest United States, the Bureau of Land Management (the US agency that controls government-owned lands that aren't forests) has decided to put a two-year moratorium new solar power plants. During this period, they're going to be doing studies on the impact that solar power plants have on desert habitat and i recommend lowest price levitra wildlife.
Don't get me wrong, I'm in favor of environmental assessments, and solar power projects do have significant impacts on sensitive lands. Some of the areas for proposed solar power, I'm sure, are going to be inappropriate for that use. Roads have to be built, concrete is laid down, and electrical transmission lines have to be built.
But solar power projects have significantly less environmental impact than, say, oil and gas exploration or cattle grazing. Those happen to be the viagra and canada custom two most common uses of BLM lands. Yet, somehow they haven't called for a moratorium on new oil and gas development. How odd...
What we're seeing here is yet another example (like the 600 year waiting list for wind power permits) of a government that is extremely slow to adapt to new circumstances. The BLM has no idea how to properly conduct an environmental assessment for a solar project. So, instead of figuring it out as they permit them, they're simply stopping all development.
This simply can't be allowed. The permits that the BLM is working through could power more than 10% of the households in the United States. This is the first opportunity we've ever had to make renewable energy a significant part of the best choice viagra online pharmacy usa the energy mix in America.
Solar stocks are down significantly on this news. The BLM's lands are crucial to making solar power mainstream. This break could be deadly to many young solar companies. If anyone in our government is paying attention, they need to increase the BLM's funding so they can deal with this influx without having to take a two year break. And it has to be done now.

In the meantime, bureau officials emphasized, they will continue processing the viagra canadian sales more than 130 applications received before May 29, measuring each one's environmental impact.
written by Clinch, June 27, 2008
Actually, the build up of unprocessed applications over 2 years will require more time to process.
But that's not the point, the point is that any gap of time (be it a few months, or several years) is going to have a negative impact, and may not even be necessary.

Nonetheless, solar power is making remarkable developments, and it's a shame that it's being delayed somewhat. Newer Concentrator Photovoltaic (CPV) systems have made solar power increasingly efficient and affordable. See a good article on the developments. Let's get this solar ball rolling!

Also, the opportunities for solar farms in the US and abroad is not limited to building solar farms on land, barren or crop-producing.
Some of the largest solar farm projects in the world are being place on-top of the roofs of get cialis existing structures; such as warehouses and large commercial building roof tops, etc.
I fully support any activity that prevents further, irresponsible, ecological damage.

But aside from the item itself, what I found interesting was how it played out in the blogosphere.
First, by reading comments on the story it highlighted just how ignorant a huge part of the on-line population is about solar thermal. In this very thread here at EcoGeek we can see a half dozen posts that mistake this as being a story about photovoltaic technology. Once can only assume that these individuals are wholly ignorant of solar thermal technology. Since this news item is exactly and try it mail order viagra specifically about the solar thermal industry, it's intriguing to consider how few people really even know what that means. It's expecially interesting when one considers that what inspired this reaction is the size of www.spotfodo.com that industry. The current permits for solar thermal in question are approaching ten percent of the entire US electrical supply. This is the reason for the moratorium, it's growing way too fast and this is why it is not photovoltaic. Photovoltaic will not scale to such enormous power levels in the next few years while solar thermal is proposed to do precisely that. Hence, the reaction from the administration famous for its cozy relationship to the conventional power industries.
Secondly, and most importantly, what grabs me about this story --once I had time to reflect in a calmer moment-- is that it shows you that solar thermal is finally being seen as a threat. They wouldn't fight back if they thought it was going to fail. That makes this news, in a somewhat ironic way, awesome.
This is fighting dirty. A party, not just any party but the Republican Party of the United States of America which prides itself on its business friendly anti-regulatory credentials is suddenly and frantically sheltering behind its own purportedly most despised government regulatory structures. What in the world would cause such a bizarre move. It's obvious, they're running out of options so they have to lose face and try even the most distasteful of options.
This is beautiful.
Besides which, they can call it a thousand year moratorium, but the Bureau of Land Management will be under new management in six months.

Solar thermal is fine, but why aren't we putting PV panels over every parking lot in the sunbelt? We wouldn't use up any extra land, could generate huge amounts of power, would keep cars cooler, and would allow most cities to generate a significant amount of viagra in canada their own power. Someone point out a downside.

Exxon Valdez has finally been settled after years and the Company merely paid a token fine in comparison to its income.
The oil companies are the culprits in so many areas - no doubt at all! They are holding the generic viagra cost local pharmacy World to ransom!

There is no such thing as sensible use of nuclear power. Period. Ever. If you think so, why don't you go move next to one, or one of the waste storage facilities.
I will be in about a month. I don't see a problem with nuclear power and believe that we should have more of it. If we actually recycled the used material, we'd have a few centuries of fuel on hand and a few orders of magnitude less 'waste'.

I would think the lack of continued subsidies on solar panel installations is a bigger concern/story at the moment ( iirc the subsidies are ending soon- and havent been extended yet)

Turn the wow it's great buy kamagra clock ahead a few years. Great strides in technology have brought costs down, sent efficiencies up, and made the use of solar power a viable, profitable direction.
You're telling me that you're surprised the government would put a halt to something profitable? Remember, anything having to do with business is considered evil by those in land management. Anti-capitalists took up residence with environmentalists a while back and have been there ever since.
It doesn't matter how good an idea is. It doesn't matter how much good it will to for the environment. All that matters is that it become state-controlled and not-for-profit. This 2-year period is just the beginning.

I do not understand why so many that claim to be ecperts can't see beyond the end of their noses. Or should I say past the levitra best price dollar signs in their eyes. Well schooled people most often are the easiest to con. Well educated people are not and there are few of them in the world.

It's a fact that the companies who make the necessary components for Solar will put the Oil companies in the hurt locker here, is there any way that someone can tap into our Sun and create a on/off switch and i use it 5mg viagra profit from it ?
I can only imagine that someone somewhere will try something like this and we'll be back to square one. Maybe, our governments who are paid by the dollars from the Oil companies are the one's who have this switch?
Am all for Solar Energy but is it possible for such a thing to happen?

One more thing to note. If one looks into the history of BLM interactions with profitable coal, oil, mining and even real estate sales, it seems.......Interesting, that they take such an uncharicteristic leval of concern with this movement.
