3 High-Yield Dividend Plays in Natural Gas
Karin is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In my never-ending quest for more and better dividend stocks, today I am exploring the natural gas sector. Natural gas has been a hot topic of discussion, as have dividend stocks, so here I am combining them into one analysis.
President Obama's re-election bodes well for the natural gas industry, as he has supported the industry and will likely continue to do so in his second term. Natural gas companies are one of the energy categories permitted to form Master Limited Partnerships, which are terrific vehicles for income and tax-deferral as well. Thus their stocks are excellent choices for a dividend income-generating portfolio.
BreitBurn Energy Partners (NASDAQ: BBEP) focuses on the acquisition, exploitation, and development of oil and gas properties. The stock is currently trading at $18 per share, and it yields a hefty 10.9%. The company's 5-year dividend yield average is 13.6%. Shares are trading at 10% off their 52-week high; the 3-year Dividend Growth Rate (DGR) is 6.7%, and the 3-year total return is 91.3%. Although BreitBurn does not have a lengthy history of paying dividends, it is a company that has grown its distributions for 9 consecutive quarters, providing excellent income for its investors.
The next two companies are both a little less risky than BreitBurn,and both have a history of paying and raising dividends for over 10 years, with lower yields.
Plains All American Pipeline (NYSE: PAA) is a natural gas pipeline and storage play, a great sector for established companies due to the incredibly high barriers to entry. PAA manages 18,000 miles of pipeline and has 120 million barrels' worth of storage capacity at its plants. The stock is currently trading at $45 per share, and it yields 4.9%. The company's 5-year dividend yield average is 6.8%. Shares are trading at a 4% discount to the company's 52-week high; the 3-year DGR is 5.2%, and the 3-year total return is 98.9%. This company has paid and raised dividends for 12 years.
Atmos Energy (NYSE: ATO) engages in the distribution, transmission and storage of natural gas in the United States. The stock is currently trading at $33 and yields 4.2%. The company's 5-year average dividend yield is 4.6%. Shares are trading about 10% off their 52-week high; the company's 3-year DGR is 1.5%, and its 3-year total return is 30.8%. This company has paid and raised dividends for 24 years.
Of the three companies described here, Atmos is the most conservative, in terms of both yield and dividend history, but its 4.2% yield is certainly nothing to be ashamed of. Plains All American is in the middle in terms of yield and dividend history, and BreitBurn is definitely the riskiest, with a commensurately attractive reward.
Perhaps all three have a place in your dividend portfolio.

Disclaimer: This is going to be pretty lengthy!
Back in November 2009, I planned to visit to New York City so I could check out Tim Burton's exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. It didn't happen because a relative passed and I had to postpone my trip.
I knew I wanted to do something for me & my boyfriend's 5 year anniversary (March 1), so I thought, why not go to NYC and celebrate there? A lot of my friends live there now, and I'm always up for a long weekend away from home.
Well, it rained all weekend and our clothes were soaked 90% of the time. On a good note, we were able to visit most of the places we wanted to see buuuut I really wanted to just walk around the city and get lost and even stumble upon random eateries/sites/parks. I REALLY wanted to go to Central Park because I still haven't been!
Sigh. I am almost always prepared for a trip — I'm a planner, it comes naturally! But this time, I wasn't focused! Had I looked up the weather forecast and stuck to my what-to-pack list, I might have been more ready…
We made the best of it. We flew, which only took an hour, took a cab to our hotel (located right next to the WTC site), and started looking for a reasonably priced sushi joint. We decide on Takahachi in Tribeca. Everyone was really nice and greeted us, and the decor was great.
Being the cheapskates we are, we order from their lunch specials! Haha. I ordered the Shrimp Tempura which came with miso soup (I ordered the white, should have ordered the red!) and 2 sides of the day. He ordered a sushi special of some sort. All in all, it was okay. Nothing memorable though.
I wanted dessert soon after, so I said, let's try Red Mango! Unfortunately, the Red Mango that was showing up on my bf's Google Maps was really a Pinkberry. I guess it wasn't too unfortunate — he's never tried it before. I had a small cup of chocolate froyo with cheesecake bites. He had their new mango froyo with mochi & other goodies. I asked him if he liked it, he said it was "just okay." I agree! Too much hype.
Then, we went back to the hotel to nap. Couldn't really meander through the streets of NY because it was raining anyhow. But when we woke up, it was almost 6:00pm and I was starving. At that very moment, I received a text message from an old friend who now lives in the city. He asked if we would meet him & my other friend for dinner. He said there was this fusion joint that served a 4 course dinner for only $12.95 and it was pretty good. Um, didn't I mention how cheap frugal we are? We were so there.
When we got there, it was very reminiscent of Cooper 35 — a local watering hole that served Asian cuisine for cheap. My friend even mentioned how this was his "Cooper 35″ find. Unfortunately, I don't have a website to provide for my readers, but I do have pictures!
Wow, I was pleasantly surprised with the food. It was actually pretty good and I had the itis afterward! I had white wine, fried spring rolls, salmon teriyaki, coffee & tiramisu! Yep. All for $12.95!
The next morning, we woke up early to catch our hotel's complimentary continental breakfast before heading to MoMA. We had timed tickets to see Tim Burton's exhibit from 10:30am-11:00am. Luckily we got there at 10:35am and since I already had tickets, we surpassed that ridiculously long line!
Could you imagine sitting in that position for 700 hours?
Another womp womp moment: I wasn't able to take pictures of his collection, er a lot of stuff at the museum actually, but I did appreciate it all. I will admit — I got a bit teary eyed when I saw his art work/props from this movies. I am a huge, huge, HUGE fan. My bf (and my sister who texted me later that day) asked if I liked it. I told them about how happy I was… but didn't want to admit how lame I was because I started tearing up.
Anyway, 3 hours later and we were ready for lunch. We wanted to try Hello Deli or Stage Deli but both had long lines and for some reason, out of all the days we were there… it was the most wet on that Saturday, so needless to say, I wanted to pick a place and dry off ASAP! We ended up at Lindy's.
As you can tell from the reviews.. it wasn't the best we've ever had, but it satisfied our hunger at the time! We ordered Lindy's triple decker, a side of fries, and a slice of strawberry cheesecake. I think our bill was close to $50. Like I said in my Yelp review, it's a tourist trap and service lacked.
The weather wasn't getting any better, so we went back to the hotel, took an other nap (so lame, I know) and woke up in time for our hotel's complimentary happy hour! We were supposed to meet up with my friends for happy hours at Sweet Revenge but we were all traumatized by this pseudo tsunami, so we decided not to meet up.
Me and the bf were going to stay in and order from the hotel's take out delivery service — their restaurant isn't open yet, so that's why they offer complimentary breakfasts and happy hours along with their delivery service — buuut none of the participating restaurants were picked up! Hmm, I wonder why?
I Yelp-ed and found a place to eat — The Odeon. I'm sorry I don't have pictures to share, it was jam packed that night and I literally sat 3 inches away from the next party. The host actually had to move the table for me so I could sit in my chair! With that said, the restaurant was fantastic. They played my kind of music (trip-hop) and the food was superb. My bf had their hangar steak and I had one of the specials, braised flat iron steak. We both practically licked our plates clean. We also ordered their Warm Apple Galette, served with salty caramel sauce & cinnamon ice cream! Quite foodgasmic.
The next morning, the rain had stopped! Well, not completely, but we definitely took advantage! After breakfast, we headed to Chinatown/SoHo. Didn't really pick anything up at Chinatown except those I love NY shirts for our parents. I did end up buying 2 necklaces: one with a cupcake pendant & another with an elephant.
We stopped by other stores along Broadway in SoHo, then stopped by Dean & DeLuca. I was so excited! I think I took pictures of every single thing and regulars/employees were getting annoyed. Whatever! We don't have a Dean & DeLuca where I live, let alone a Dean & DeLuca market! I bought a Nutella cupcake from their bakery and that, my friends, was a lovely idea.
We were supposed to meet up with my bf's friend & family for lunch, but they were traveling from NJ to meet up with us, so it took them just a little bit longer than we anticipated. So, we told them we'd meet up with them for dessert. I was craving a burger for some reason so we stumbled upon a cute little place called Soho Park. You literally feel like you're eating at a park because the chairs are park benches, there's greenery everywhere, and they have windows for walls.
That cute little baby is Rafael, btw. Don't you just want to pinch his cheeks?!
Well, we finally met up with my bf's friend & family and they showed us around. First: South Street Seaport. We all had bubble tea for dessert then continued to the "Charging Bull" in the Financial District. We took necessary tourist pictures then headed to Battery Park. Finally, we all headed towards the hotel and we parted ways.
It was our last evening in NYC, and we made reservations at Antica Venezia Ristorante. What an experience. I mean that in a good way. I found the restaurant on Open Table and the reviews describe this place as romantic, great for special occasion, and a neighborhood gem. We were seated right away, then we were greeted by their maitre'd. Everyone was so attentive and enthusiastic about their food, it was contagious.
To start off, we ordered their Carpaccio di Manzo e Rucola (beef carpaccio served with arugula, shaved parmigiano, mushrooms, and aioli olives) because I love me some carpaccio! The bf ordered their Ravioli d`Aragosta (lobster ravioli, chopped asparagus, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, and white wine sauce). I ordered Pollo Scarpariello alla Veneziana (lightly coated chicken breast in white wine sauce and garlic with a touch of lemon). For dessert, we shared a warm apple tart. Can you tell we like fruit + ice cream for dessert?
That's pretty much it. I will definitely be going back much more prepared! Anyway, thanks for reading! If you made it to the bottom, you're awesome.

More from Myrtle the Turtle
SFC: Oftentimes we do have to put a Myrtle distracter in the water, if you really have to get something done. For example, we did shark exams this past summer and that's a huge ordeal to pull out sharks, and you just can't have her in the way. Then it becomes not funny, but a safety issue for both the divers and the sharks and Myrtle. She must love it, because she gets twice the food she's supposed to be getting, and we have volunteers or interns just stationed at her platform and just literally feeding and feeding her. And as long as she's being fed, that's more interesting than the sharks, and the minute it stops, she looks over, wonders what's going on and goes right at it. So no matter what the procedure is, she factors in. We always have to ask, "Okay, so what are we going to do with Myrtle?" The volunteer or intern should know how important that role is; the whole thing would fall apart if we didn't have that person doing that job.
MRB: Over these 40 years, she's seen generations of animals. I don't now how you can quantify it. How many species are in the tank?
SFC: Right now, we're somewhere around 125 species, and probably about 600 individuals. And that's generally a good ballpark number for any given year, sometimes its going to be a little up or a little down.
MRB: There's no way to even estimate how many animals have been in there during Myrtle's 40 years in the tank…
SFC: No. It would take a lot of work actually…Because you've got big stuff that doesn't turnover that often, like sharks and turtles, but then you've got the smaller fish where it's just a constant turnover, like it would be in the ocean.
MRB: In terms of her interaction with some of the animals, do the sharks yield to Myrtle?
SFC: They yield to Myrtle. Pretty much everyone yields to Myrtle. We call her the Queen of the Giant Ocean Tank. They keep their distance. Myrtle is not the slightest bit intimidated. If squid is involved and she thinks she can get it, she's going to take any risk imaginable. And like I said, even going as far as not just trying to get it before it got to the shark's mouth, but ripping it right out of the shark's mouth. For a big girl, she can be very fast. Very sneaky. One of our other challenges in making sure that we don't overfeed her is that it's not just about the food that she gets, it's about feeding other animals and having her just outcompete them and outsmart them…or outsmart us. Like when I'm trying target–feed this animal that hasn't eaten for several days, and this animal is just about to take it and VOOOM, just like that…aggghh, Myrtle!

Among the interesting mail awaiting me was this release from the Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity on a new study that will be published in the January 1st issue of Psychological Science, titled "Uncoupling of Reading and IQ Over Time: Empirical Evidence for a Definition of Dyslexia."
I found this interesting because I have met highly intelligent people can't read well. This study helps explain why that might be:
New Haven, Conn. — Contrary to popular belief, some very smart, accomplished people cannot read well. This unexpected difficulty in reading in relation to intelligence, education and professional status is called dyslexia, and researchers at Yale School of Medicine and University of California Davis, have presented new data that explain how otherwise bright and intelligent people struggle to read.
The study, which will be published in the January 1, 2010 issue of the journal Psychological Science, provides a validated definition of dyslexia. "For the first time, we've found empirical evidence that shows the relationship between IQ and reading over time differs for typical compared to dyslexic readers," said Sally E. Shaywitz, M.D., the Audrey G. Ratner Professor in Learning Development at Yale School of Medicine's Department of Pediatrics, and co-director of the newly formed Yale Center for Dyslexia and Creativity.
Using data from the Connecticut Longitudinal Study, an ongoing 12-year study of cognitive and behavioral development in a representative sample of 445 Connecticut schoolchildren, Shaywitz and her team tested each child in reading every year and tested for IQ every other year. They were looking for evidence to show how the dissociation between cognitive ability and reading ability might develop in children.
The researchers found that in typical readers, IQ and reading not only track together, but also influence each other over time. But in children with dyslexia, IQ and reading are not linked over time and do not influence one another. This explains why a dyslexic can be both bright and not read well.
"I've seen so many children who are struggling to read but have a high IQ," said Shaywitz. "Our findings of an uncoupling between IQ and reading, and the influence of this uncoupling on the developmental trajectory of reading, provide evidence to support the concept that dyslexia is an unexpected difficulty with reading in children who otherwise have the intelligence to learn to read."
Typical readers learn how to associate letters with a specific sound. "All they have to do is look at the letters and it's automatic," Shaywitz explained. "It's like breathing; you don't have to tell your lungs to take in air. In dyslexia, this process remains manual." Each time a dyslexic sees a word, it's as if they've never seen it before. People with dyslexia have to read slowly, re-read, and sometimes use a marker so they don't lose their place.
"A key characteristic of dyslexia is that the unexpected difficulty refers to a disparity within the person rather than, for example, a relative weakness compared to the general population," said co-author Bennett A. Shaywitz, M.D., the Charles and Helen Schwab Professor in Dyslexia and Learning Development and co-director of the Yale Center for Dyslexia and Creativity.
Sally Shaywitz estimates that one in five people are dyslexic and points to many accomplished writers, physicians and attorneys with dyslexia who struggle with the condition in their daily lives, including Carol Greider, the 2009 Nobel laureate in medicine. She hopes to dispel many of the myths surrounding the condition.
"High-performing dyslexics are very intelligent, often out-of-the box thinkers and problem-solvers," she said. "The neural signature for dyslexia is seen in children and adults. You don't outgrow dyslexia. Once you're diagnosed, it is with you for life."
Shaywitz also stresses that the problem is with both basic spoken and written language. People with dyslexia take a long time to retrieve words, so they might not speak or read as fluidly as others. In students, the time pressure around standardized tests like the SATs and entrance exams for professional schools increases anxiety and can make dyslexia worse, so the need for accommodations is key in helping those with the disorder realize their potential, she says.
Other authors on the study include Emilio Ferrer at the University of California Davis and John M. Holahan and Karen Marchione at Yale School of Medicine.
The study was funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the National Science Foundation, and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.

A famous Yale University Drama School graduate, Henry Winkler, has Dyslexia – he didn't discover this fact until his own child was diagnosed with the same condition.
I recently posted that story on my Crazy Classroom teacher blog:
Did you know The Fonz co-authored 9 children's books about Dyslexia?

Wish I could remember the researcher, but I can't – during a class I had a couple years ago, the instructor mentioned a researcher of dyslexia who found it's virtually non-existent in other languages, especially pictorial languages (like Chinese) and languages where the phonetics better match spelling. There was some study about early reading teaching methods, too – wish I could remember, but if you're interested you can always try google!

I wonder if the research results would be the same for dyscalculia, which is a math-related version of dyslexia. My daughter really struggles with math and often when she is looking at solving math problems, it is like she has never seen it before. I think I must do some Googling.

The national testing craze is certainly a detriment to many people, especially those children with otherwise strong academic abilities. Reading difficulties interfere greatly with truly assessing what a child has learned because all state tests (especially those in Georgia) are predominantly reading tests. People learn through a variety of ways, and reading is only one.
In our present technological society, we are bombarded with visual and audible information all the time. But our testing methods require everyone to read the question and the choices. Then, the correct choice must be marked on a separate answer sheet. (This presents another challenge for dyslexic people.)
This is one very big reason parents and citizens need to make it known that gateway testing should be abandoned. Teachers should use multiple assessment forms. And, most importantly, children should be allowed to exhibit the knowledge they have gained through means that are more appropriate.

I'm left-handed, asthmatic, blue-eyed, and high-IQ, which is also some sort of syndrome I've read about. It's fun to watch for those kids in my classes – they are always a fun find. Watch for them. Usually they have some kind of special skill that can make class interesting. I can write upside down and backwards without effort. Sure wakes up the class when I start writing on the overhead and they have to decode and copy into their notebooks.

Lisa, it would indeed be of interest if esteemed school psychologist could explain, in his/her best professional means, just exactly why some people, kids as well as adults, experience difficulty reading the written word. If esteemed psychologist is simply issuing a baseless statement, a proclamation, that dyslexia does not exist, than I am quite certain there are many in the blogging public who join me in this simple message to same…FIND ANOTHER LINE OF WORK.

The esteemed school psychologist has been an esteemed school psychologist for 30 years.

It's interesting to see this research. It supports the commonly held view that those with dyslexia often have average or above average IQs yet underperform at school. This talk on http://www.dystalk.com from Oxford University's Professor John Stein is interesting in emphasising the benefits of dyslexia: http://www.dystalk.com/talks/89-the-dyslexia-benefits

User Reviews
The community thinks...
Dodge Stratus-Will compete with any car from Japan by Lennie Hillsborough, NJ on 04/28/2009. Trim: 2006 Dodge Stratus R/T, Owned 2 years.
Pros: The visability is exceptionably good. Also, the vehicle has no problems starting. I have not had any problems with this car. Gas milage is great for a car this size. This is my second 2006 Stratus. My first one was totaled in a crash during a severe ice storm. The crumple zones did their job, and I came out from this accident without injury. In fact, had others been in the car, they would not have been harmed either. My Stratus gets about 30-32 MPG. Descipline yourself to drive at reduced speeds and you will enjoy this spacious car for its class.
Cons: I think the hood-lines, trunk-lines, and doors, should have a snug fit like those of their Japanese competitors.
Overall review: Want a safe, solid car whic can deliver good MPG? Then check out the Stratus. I purchased my second Stratus from a rental car dealer selling their fleet. The good cars stay, and are sold on their lot after passing 111 point passage check-up. Used car dealers offer only 35.

Academic Computing Development Team
Closure of ACDT
As of June 2008, the Academic Computing Development Team (ACDT) has been discontinued.
When the ACDT was originally set up there was a clear need for such a team as users were only just getting to grips with the possibilities of the web, and most tools and services had to be developed in-house and from scratch, but the times have changed; users now have access to a range of freely available web services, plus all the tools in WebLearn, and thus the need to develop unique e-learning tools had diminished. As a result, the decision has been taken to shut down the service.

Dr. Carey York-Best's Ratings

Dr. York Best is an exceptional doctor. She has been my doctor for years & has always taken great care of me through minor & major issues. I would highly suggest her to anyone! Especially surgical cases. She is excellent at what she does.
Submitted Dec. 3, 2013 | flag
I was referred to her by my reg obgyn. She performed a hysterectomy. She is a fabulous doctor and person. She spends time with you and gives you all the possible options and as much information as you want. I had to call after hours a few times and the service was tremendous. I highly recommend her, especially if you are facing an important surgery decision.
Submitted Aug. 13, 2013 | flag
I went to Dr York Best with a complicated pregnancy. While my previous Dr said I was having a miscarriage (I was bleeding heavily at 14 weeks), Dr Best managed the entire case and we have a healthy daughter now. I have been to Dr Best for over 8 years now. She even had to face insurance questions about my bed rest etc, and she stood by us during the entire pregnancy.I feel like she is a true gem! She is so down to earth, so simple, yet so knowledgeable! I cannot say enough of good things about Dr York Best, in a nutshell, she is the BEST!
Submitted June 16, 2011 | flag
Dr. York-Best is THE BEST OBGYN I've encountered in the 35 years that I've needed one. She does not take any chances with your health, does cover every base and is very astute. I've travelled across the Atlantic to consult with her because there is no one I trust more. She spotted my swollen thyroids before I had any symptoms, may have saved my life. She was proactive with all my health issues even when I teetered with disbelief and uncertainty.
Submitted June 2, 2011 | flag
I agree with all the other ratings. Carey York-Best is a top notch doctor as well as a kind, caring person. She's been my doctor for 10 years and has been great for both routine appointments as well as urgent care issues.

St. Martin's Griffin
They fought against almighty odds at the very edge of the known world – and lost. Ten thousand legionaries are all that are left of a once powerful Roman army.
In the first century B.C., trapped in Parthia by Crassus's failed invasion, the legionaries that survived are captured and marched to the edge of the known world. Abandoned by Rome, these men are the Forgotten Legion. Among them are three friends, Brennus the Gaul, Tarquinun the Etruscan soothsayer and Romulus, a runaway slave and the bastard son of a Roman nobleman. All men with troubled pasts and united in their hatred of Rome, they never stop dreaming of Freedom. Together they must face the savage tribes that surround them as well as the more treacherous enemies within the ranks of the legion itself. Their character will be tested to the utter limit as they struggle to find a way back to Rome. Meanwhile, Fabiola, Romulus' twin sister, tries to maintain hope of her brother's survival while fighting for her own. Freed by her powerful lover but beset by enemies on all sides, she must travel to Gaul to find her lover, the right-hand man of Julius Caesar. But in Gaul, her lover is fighting for his very life against Vercingetorix, whose rampaging army threatens to destroy all who rally around Caesar.
Together these characters, whose lives are intertwined and their stories interwoven, bring to life an truly epic story of the late Roman Republic and the ancient world in which it thrived.
"Lively...riveting...Kane clearly knows the history of the period, and his story is rich in accurate historical detail. The characterizations are finely drawn and set against a dangerous, cruel, but often thrilling landscape." --Booklist on The Forgotten Legion
"A pleasure for those like history and great adventure...recommended for historical fiction collections." --Library Journal on Forgotten Legion

Everyone knows I love PSG. I have several hundred dollars of figures on my shelves and on preorder, but I'm still missing what I really want: the actual show. It's getting to the point where in the next couple of months Funimation is going to solicit it - I feel it in my bones (my calcium bones). And when it does go up on TRSI, it will be the fasted preorder in the history of anime purchasing and I will take the fastest shipping possible.
I did the same thing with Madoka. I preordered all three LE volumes at, like, 4 in the morning and took 2nd Day shipping, but I'm not really antsy for it. It's probably because I love both anime and American cartoons, and PSG is the perfect combination of those two things, giving me an unmatched love for it. Don't get me wrong, I love Madoka, I'll have dozens of figures, but PSG is just special to me.
PSG is also probably my most anticipated dub. I cannot wait to see what Funimation does for it.

I have to say there is nothing right now that I am super-jonesing for. Maybe because I've been on a bit of a anime-buying orgy for most of the fall and I'm feeling a bit satiated.
Funi has some upcoming releases I'm looking forward to like Shiki, Index and Shana II, but again, nothing that I'm absolutely peeing my pants for. That would require the announcement of a Bakemonogatari release - from anybody besides those Aniplex douches, please.

I'm really getting pumped over War on Geminar. I wouldn't say I'm a huge Tenchi fan since there's several parts of the franchise I haven't seen, but I love the original two OVAs, Universe, and the three movies, making me at least a big fan of the franchise. And of all the non-main branch Tenchi stuff, this one looks to be the most interesting.
For one, after seeing the preliminary cover art and rewatching the sneak peek, I'm really digging the character designs. Second, after rewatching Is This a Zombie with the dub a while back, I will be focusing on everything that has either Morgan Garrett or Jad Saxton in it for now on. I'm already a fan of Liebrecht's work, and having him be the lead doesn't hurt either. And finally, the fact that it's thirteen 50 minute episodes fascinates me. I am dieing to know how a show with that kind of structure unfolds.
So yea, I'm really, really looking forward to this and will pull the ultra rare move of preordering both sets AT THE SAME TIME! The only other time I've done that is with LOL Heroes, and that's because I needed to hear Ian Sinclair in a lead role. What I usually do is buy the first set to secure myself the art box + item and then wait and buy the second half later - typically when a box set comes out and the half sets go down in price. This is why I only have the first sets for Chrome Shelled Regios, Steins;Gate, and Shiki. But for this case, I don't want to wait. Hopefully Amazon has a crazy 50-60% off sale and includes these two sets.

I'm very much looking forward to owning The Rose of Versailles. I've only seen the first episode, but it was among the best first episodes that I've ever seen and its reputation is very favorable. I also have high hopes for the set that TRSI will release, although I do worry that they might have some of the quality control issues that afflicted their Revolutionary Girl Utena release.
I'm also very excited about getting my boxed set of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, whenever Viz gets around to reprinting that. I've been waiting for more than two months now...

Some really great manga coming out this year. I'm most looking forward to:
Kitaro and Showa: A History of Japan 1926-1939, both by Shigeru Mizuki. Onwards Towards Our Noble Deaths and NonNonBa must have pretty well for Drawn & Quarterly if they're releasing more Mizuki goodness, which is encouraging considering the market is still shrinking.
Vinland Saga, at long, long last. No more relying on scanlations to read this highly entertaining series. That Kodansha is giving it the deluxe treatment is an added bonus.
Helter Skelter - finally Kyoko Okazaki gets released in English. River's Edge, the only work of hers I've read in the past, is in my top ten of all time. Helter Skelter is even more highly regarded, so this should be a real treat.
The fifth and final volume of Children of the Sea is coming out in June; the penultimate volume was released way back in December 2010. A hiatus in Japan was the reason for the delay. Good on Viz for sticking in there and finishing a series which probably wasn't a huge seller.

MARIETTA, Ga., July 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- MiMedx Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDXG), an integrated developer, processor and marketer of patent protected regenerative biomaterials and bioimplants processed from human amniotic membrane, announced today that the Medicare Administrative Contractor responsible for Jurisdiction H, which has approximately five million beneficiaries in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, New Mexico, Colorado, Mississippi and Arkansas, has revised its Local Coverage Determination (LCD) for bioengineered skin substitutes in the hospital outpatient and physician office settings to include EpiFix®. The revision to the LCD, entitled Bioengineered Skin Substitutes, names MiMedx's wound care allograft, EpiFix, as eligible for Medicare coverage when medically necessary and reasonable, subject to the coverage indications and limitations set forth in the LCD. The revision was published on July 10, 2014, effective for dates of service on or after June 16, 2014.
Parker H. "Pete" Petit, Chairman and CEO, said, "As we discussed in our shareholder call on April 25, 2014, the contractor for Jurisdiction H previously had issued a draft consolidated LCD under which all skin substitutes with a Q-code were eligible for coverage if the case met the medically necessary and reasonable threshold. This LCD was to go into effect on March 27, 2014. On the effective date, the draft LCD was rescinded, and the contractor reverted to the previous LCD. The previous Jurisdiction H LCD covered only a few named skin substitutes and did not include coverage for EpiFix. In the update issued on July 10, 2014, the contractor has added EpiFix as a covered product. EpiFix was the only product added in that update. We are very pleased that EpiFix has been included in the revised LCD for this Medicare jurisdiction."
Bill Taylor, President and COO, commented, "EpiFix is currently eligible for coverage and reimbursement by approximately 200 payers, including 20 Blue Cross Blue Shield plans, all of the Medicare MACs, and over 20 State Medicaid plans."

Howdy all
my name is Chris and I have been following the Rams for a chunk of years, even a little attention when they were back in LA. I am a mascot looking to repeat my efforts with the Rams that I did with the Blues. That being, to bring in a mascot to the team. Glad to see that there is life in the fan base and hope to see some of you at a game. (Yes, I know that this season is running out of home games)
