Boost your Verizon dividend by 10%
Selling weekly or monthly calls is a way to generate serious income.
by Michael Shulman
Verizon Communications (VZ) is a great play on the explosion in the use of mobile devices. It plans to buy back the half of Verizon Wireless it does not own, trading off its balance sheet to boost earnings -- if it can get the deal done.
I see Verizon as a growth stock that throws off some income -- the yield is a smidgen below 4%. That's a barely acceptable dividend but the appreciation potential for the shares is much better than for most income stocks. I first recommended Verizon at $40.60 and it is now $53.80. You get the point. I still see it running to $64 or more in a year or two.And along the way, you can generate some serious income selling weekly or monthly calls.
A consistent way to generate profits
Here is some simple math:
If you buy the shares and then sell a weekly $54 call -- this week, right now -- and you get called out, you will generate $48 in cash per 100 shares. Do that 50 times a year -- the only way to calculate an annual return -- and you net $24 a share; a return of 44%, not the little dividend under 4%. If you don't get called out, you still net around $25 per 100 shares or $1,250 per year, a return of 25% or so . . . plus the little dividend of just under 4%.
If weeklies are not your thing -- the commissions, the one minute a week you have to spend executing the trade; minutes are precious, right? -- you can do this with monthlies. Buy the shares and sell a June $55; you get called out and boom, you net $1.97 per share. That is a 3.7% return in a little more than two months, an annualized return of 29%. Even if you do not get called out, you have an annualized return of 11%, plus that dividend of 3.8%.
The typical options trader prays for a 100% return -- because that is what all the expensive books tell them they should shoot for. How many options traders can consistently generate profits that end up being 100%, on an annualized basis?
On the other hand, consider the options seller owning an income stock that is appreciating and generating between 15% and 48% a year, depending on the market and how busy they want to be. That is something I can relate to.

FAQ: Can we tell the "purpose" of a designed object?
The Long Answer:
"What is the purpose behind design?" This will at times get into the philosophical implications of design, which is beyond the science of ID. However, ID would provide a fruitful avenue of research to determine what underlying reasons there may be for why we see what we do in life. We know that intelligent agents often use various methods to achieve a particular goal - things shouldn't necessarily be taken for their face value as there may be overall goals that are being sought when what we are investigating is considered with other items that may be working in concert. In other words, intelligent agents often use many different things together to achieve a goal - these different items and their relation to each other cannot be understood without considering a "layering" of design for what is being investigated. We can use engineering design principles to help guide our study of things in nature which may allow us insight into areas that otherwise are a dead end from a purely naturalistic perspective.
We detect design by finding the tell-tale signs of design. Usually this is through seeking specified complexity. The specification corresponds to an unlikely pattern--usually we recognize a pattern by understanding its purpose, or have some notion of why a designer might cause it to exist. But in some cases, we might not fully understand the purpose of an object, yet still recognize it as designed. For example, the Smithsonian has presented intelligently-designed objects whose function, or intended function, is unknown to us. SETI operates under the presumption that it can recognize an intelligently designed signal from outer space even if it does not know exactly what the message is communicating. Many intelligent design theorists have hypothesized that non-coding DNA (popularly called 'junk-DNA') is designed, and has a function in the cell just waiting to be discovered.
So, the answer to this question is "sometimes we can tell the purpose of a designed object," depending on whether or not the specification is linked to a known function, or to some other recognizable intelligently designed pattern. This presents an active area of research for intelligent design theorists.
However, this issue is one of debate in intelligent design. There may be a variety of ways to recognized a designed object--and some of those ways might allow us to detect design without knowing purpose, and some of them might not. In biology, purpose is easy to detect because we can usually identify the purpose of an object in the manner in which it aids an organism.

It's the latest phone scam. And it's hitting cell phone users across the state. The automated calls claim to be from Gate City Bank. But, they're part of a phishing scam that can result in identity theft.
It was after 10 at night when Judy Gries got a call from an unavailable number.
"It said it was Gate City Bank calling, asking about my debit card with them and that it had been locked. And they needed me to call this number to unlock that debit card," says Gries. She says she new it was a phone scam, because the call came so late on a Sunday night. She doesn't have an account with Gate City, but her daughter does. So, she told her to call the bank to make sure her identity wasn't stolen. "I was concerned they may have accessed into the bank information, people's numbers. So, I just wanted it checked," she says. The automated phone calls are randomly generated. And it's not just Gate City customers receiving the calls. Rick Clayburgh, North Dakota Bankers Association"The majority of the calls that are coming in to the Attorney General's office and what we're hearing about was using the name Gate City," says Rick Clayburgh, North Dakota Bankers Association. "But, they've also used CitiBank, Wells Fargo and we're understanding today, also using Microsoft. The name Microsoft is coming up in these names, as well."Clayburgh says banks don't make automated calls. And they never need to ask for personal information. So, if you get one of these calls, hang up and don't call back."They don't know your name. They don't know what your accounts end in. They don't have any information on you. And so, when you receive these types of calls that are saying, 'If you don't do something within the next few hours, something bad is going to happen,' it's an automated phishing call that is being run by bad people trying to get access to your credit," says Clayburgh. If you've been a victim of this phone scam and gave out information, contact your bank. It's the best way to prevent identity theft.
Clayburgh says banks already have your information. If the caller doesn't know your name and can't provide account information, it's probably a scam.

The petition was submitted by anti-abortion activists Michigan Right to Life. If the proposal becomes law, it would require all private and public health insurance plans to offer a separate rider for an abortion.
The state Board of Canvassers is scheduled to meet to certify the signatures on December 2nd.

Not a bad ending, mind you. Just an odd one. The creators promised us something different than the original DOOMSDAY story and they delivered on that promise. While there was a lot of action in this final chapter (unless you count the aftermath issues we'll be getting in a few weeks) there was a lot of character and thought put into the story as well. I'd go so far as to say that it was a very cerebral wrap-up, which I appreciated quite a bit.
While there was a lot to like about this issue my favorite was the mental sparring between Superman and Brainiac. The different scenarios kept both Superman and me off balance and made for an engaging read. I like this sort of thing. The "what ifs," when done right, are usually entertaining and this story was a good example of that. More than anything I liked that this story emphasized how smart Superman is. Not "super" smart per se but intelligent enough to fight against Brainiac on the villain's own turf. It was a nice counterpoint to the "real" Superman, all roided out on the Doomsday Virus, tearing the ship apart.

I want to make this perfectly clear; this is totally on me and not on Charles Soule. It's not his fault that I didn't know about the connection to the Wonder Woman issue and thus didn't buy it.
At least that is what I am hoping is going on here and to be fair there were things about this issue that I liked quite a bit. Well, one thing. The interaction between present day Superman and Five Years Later Wonder Woman was very strong. This is what I have come to expect from Soule as a writer so this isn't a surprise. The only thing that kept me going here was how the Superman that seems to be from the present was helping the woman he loved even though something obviously happened in the ensuing five years.

A bipartisan bill to help patients gain access to critical health care has been reintroduced before the House of Representatives.
Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va., initially introduced the Patient Access to Treatments Act in March 2012, but it died in committee. McKinley and Rep. Lois Capps, D-Calif., and 15 other members of the House co-sponsored the bill in the 113th Congress to allow millions of Americans to access critical treatments that can save lives or improve the quality of life.
"Over the past two years, hearing the stories of patients struggling to pay for medications that would dramatically improve their lives has been heartbreaking," McKinley said in a statement. "After talking with a number of people in these situations, it was clear action was needed."
Patients suffering a variety of ailments, including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and some forms of cancer can benefit from specialty and biologic drugs, but the cost of those drugs is out of reach for many Americans, according to McKinley. Currently patients who require specialty drugs pay a percentage of the treatments rather than a fixed rate, as is common with most medicine. McKinley's legislation would end the practice of discrimination against specialty drugs by requiring insurers to impose the same co-payments they require for other medication.
"Even the president's health care plan doesn't cover the cost of these expensive drugs," McKinley said. "The law allows prescription drug co-pays to spiral up to $6,000 out-of-pocket for an individual and $12,000 for a family. Medicine is not just for the privileged. No one should have to choose between paying their bills and improving their quality of life."
Capps said Congress owes it to patients to ensure insurance companies follow the rules.
"Too many patients can't afford the high cost sharing requirements imposed on many specialty drugs and are forced to not take their medication as prescribed, or worse, not take it at all," she said in a statement. "This leads to increased complications and costs down the road, for the individual, their family and the entire health care system."

You have to hand it to Sinead O'Connor : she's persistent. She has published a fifth open letter to Miley Cyrus , again asking for an apology from the "Wrecking Ball" singer. Sinead remains upset that Miley mocked her and Amanda Bynes for their mental illnesses on Twitter during their much-publicized, back-and-forth exchange.
In the latest note, published on SineadOConnor.com , the Irish singer writes to Miley, "You're supposed to apologize for the mocking of any person who sought help, publicly or privately, to prevent themselves from committing suicide. You're also supposed to apologize for mocking people who are mistakenly or otherwise perceived to be mentally ill."
Sinead adds, "Because what you did is extraordinarily dangerous as it contributes to the silences which allow suicide to flourish and also contributes to the bullying of people perceived mistakenly or otherwise to be mentally ill. That bullying causes suicides."
The Miley-Sinead feud began with Sinead's open letter questioning the content of Miley's "Wrecking Ball" video and advising the former Disney star to not let the music business "prostitute" her.
Meanwhile, indie rocker Sufjan Stevens has issued his own letter to Miley, though it's much more light-hearted. Addressing her Bangerz track "#GETITRIGHT," which he calls a "great song," he writes, "One particular line causes concern: 'I been laying in this bed all night long.' Miley, technically speaking, you've been LYING, not LAYING, an irregular verb form that should only be used when there's an object, i.e. 'I been laying my tired booty on this bed all night long.'"

Rasmussen College Launches Professional Nursing Program In Green Bay
New Program Helps Meet National Demand for Registered Nurses
October 26, 2010
Erin Werthman
Media: (866) 257-8253
Mobile: 413-636-6758
Email: email@example.com
GREEN BAY, Wis., (October 21, 2010) – The Rasmussen College School of Nursing announces the launch of an Associate's Degree in Professional Nursing at its campus in Green Bay. Approved by the Wisconsin Board of Nursing, the degree program fills a market need for board-approved Registered Nurse (RN) programs, as students nationwide are experiencing long waiting lists for program admission and the national demand for nursing professionals grows. Enrollment is now open for January classes.
The new Professional Nursing program will be overseen by Rasmussen College Dean of Nursing Beth Marquez. A highly qualified industry veteran, Marquez was recently elected as one of three Directors of the National Organization for Associate Degree Nursing (N-OADN) Board of Directors. A member of the Wisconsin Nurses Association (WNA) with a position on the Continuing Education Approval Program (CEAP) Committee, she is also a 2010 recipient of the Service to WNA Award, which recognizes active involvement in the organization, including service through elected office and committee involvement.
"The Rasmussen College School of Nursing has a strong history preparing students for careers in the healthcare industry," Rasmussen College Dean of Nursing Beth Marquez said. "We're proud to now provide these valuable career opportunities for the Green Bay region through such trusted and dynamic programs."
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, registered nurses constitute the largest group of healthcare workers in the United States, and employment in the field is expected to increase by 22 percent through 2018, resulting in more than 500,000 new jobs. A Nursing Management Aging Workforce Survey by the Bernard Hodes Group indicates that thousands of nurses are expected to retire soon, further increasing the need for educational options that deliver programs for students interested in becoming professional nurses.
"The Rasmussen College Professional Nursing program combines the academic principles and practical skills development necessary to prepare students for providing acute care to patients in a variety of fast-paced healthcare settings," Rasmussen College School of Nursing Advisory Board Member and National Federation of Licensed Practical Nurses Membership Chair JoAnn Shaw said. "I have been honored to be part of the Rasmussen College Advisory Team. Rasmussen College has done its homework, and has a stellar Associate Degree Nursing Program ready for people who want to be exceptional Nurses."
Upon graduation, Rasmussen College students will be eligible to sit for the NCLEX-RN (National Council Licensure Examination – Registered Nurses), the licensing exam for registered nurses.
For additional information about programs offered through Rasmussen College, visit www.Rasmussen.edu.
Rasmussen College is a regionally accredited private college and Public Benefit Corporation that is dedicated to changing lives through high-demand educational programs and public service. Rasmussen College offers Certificate and Diploma programs through Associate's and Bachelor's degrees online and across its 24 Midwest and Florida campuses in a supportive, student-centered and career-focused environment.

How To Use a Laser Printer to Transpose Photos Onto Furniture

According to jmsndrnkr's answers over at Reddit, transfers are made by applying medium acrylic gel or Mod Podge onto the sheets faced down onto the transfer surface, with sections of the large format print removed piece by piece in the final stages of the transfer process!
"...the thicker [the paper] is, the easier it is to remove. I get it done at Staples (which as a photographer who prints his own images, is very embarrassing to admit). You want it to actually be pretty heavy so that you can tear away large parts at a time. Staples can Laser print up to 40 inches wide and as long as the roll, so it is a good resource. The employees are not very careful, so there are some gouges and whatnot... adds character IMO."One doesn't have to aim for a large coffee table as a canvas. A spare side table or stool could get similar smaller scale treatment with a letter-sized home laser printer (or perhaps your office's machine if you've got the a-ok). Here's a video of someone showing how to use an iron and single sheet laser printer transfers:
Check out more photos and a glimpse behind the process over here, dust off the old laser printer, and get planning!

This photo transferring technique is fascinating. But I can't find the directions on how to do it via your link. Very frustrating. Is there another link to the Reddit post that does address the photo transfer technique?
Many thanks.
The link to the Reddit post's pictures of the project is: http://imgur.com/a/ZC65z#0

Hope that helps!

What is your favorite city to explore on foot?
Upcoming TEDCity2.0 speaker Jeff Speck believes that "walkability" is what makes cities thrive. http://blog.ted.com/2013/09/09/the-most-walkable-cities-in-the-world/
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Sep 13 2013: When I travel for business, I always plan a 1/2 to 3/4 of day to explore where I was on foot. Some places are easier than others. Probably Washington DC is the easiest with all of its parks, malls, and monuments all close together. Charleston, SC and New Orleans are also very easy to explore on foot. NYC is easy to walk , but it seemed there was a lot of distance between the things I wanted to see, so I spent more time walking than actually seeing the sights I wanted to see. Newport Beach and Laguna Beach, CA are walkable but they are long walks.

Shakespeare's musical ethos
What can we learn from Shakespeare's use of music about his knowledge of and attitude toward that art? There is very little evidence to be found in the texts themselves to show that he had any particular knowledge of the art music of the period. He makes no allusions to the magnificent church polyphony being written at the time by William Byrd and his contemporaries or to the brilliantly witty madrigals of Thomas Weelkes and John Wilbye. The complexity of such music was perhaps inappropriate to outdoor theatrical performance and above the heads of most of Shakespeare's audience. Extant Elizabethan and Jacobean theatre music is simple and vivid, almost Baroque in style. Shakespeare may even have had some antipathy for that most famous of melancholic musicians, John Dowland; his portrayal in Twelfth Night of Duke Orsino's rather superficial taste for the dying fall surely must refer to the opening strain of Dowland's Flow My Tears. On the other hand, the playwright seems to have had a genuine fondness for honest English popular and traditional songs. He would never have taken the extraordinary step of giving The Willow Song to Desdemona in her hour of crisis if he did not believe in its emotional validity. Shakespeare certainly had a profound comprehension of the Renaissance Neoplatonic idea of the music of the spheres and the effect of both heavenly and earthly harmonies on the health of the human spirit. Perhaps his loveliest evocation of this concept comes from Act V, scene 1, of The Merchant of Venice, where Lorenzo speaks:
Here will we sit and let the sounds of music
Creep in our ears. Soft stillness and the night
Become the touches of sweet harmony.
Sit, Jessica. Look how the floor of heaven
Is thick inlaid with patens of bright gold.
There's not the smallest orb which thou behold'st
But in his motion like an angel sings,
Still choiring to the young-eyed cherubins.
Such harmony is in immortal souls,
But whilst this muddy vesture of decay
Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it.
Lorenzo goes on to describe the calming effect of Orpheus's music on wild beasts:
Since naught so stockish, hard, and full of rage
But music for the time doth change his nature.
The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils;
The motions of his spirit are dull as night
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music.
Mary Springfels

Still a Buy, Despite the Tresiba Setback
Nauman is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Shares of Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO) are trying to recover from a recent sell-off that occurred after the FDA rejected its new drug Tresiba -- citing lack of a pre-approval cardiovascular outcomes study. Tresiba is an insulin analog, which is injected subcutaneously three-times a week to help control the blood sugar level of those with diabetes. Shares plummeted almost 15% on this disappointing news. But the real question now is if this setback has changed the long-term potential of Novo Nordisk or are the shares still a buy?
This rejection does prove that how serious the FDA has become in recent years when it comes to the safety and risk-benefit analysis of potential new diabetes drugs. I've noticed several recent moves by the FDA that second my opinion -- from Amylin's Bydureon to Bristol-Myers (NYSE: BMY) / AstraZeneca's (NYSE: AZN) SGLT-2 inhibitor Dapagliflozin. The FDA twice declined to approve Bydureon in 2010, with its most serious concern being that the drug might contribute to heart rhythm abnormalities. Similarly, in 2011 the FDA decided not to approve the novel diabetes drug Dapagliflozin until drug-makers Bristol-Myers Squibb and AstraZeneca supply more data on the drug's benefits and risks.
Though Tresiba proved its efficacy, Novo Nordisk was unable to convince the FDA about the safety of the drug. Despite the fact that both Europe and Japan have approved Tresiba, the FDA has now asked for a new study as a prerequisite for the approval. Moreover, Novo got a warning letter from the FDA, citing other facility issues as well. Novo's management now faces a dilemma, as they aren't sure what the next step should be. The major issue is with the design of the study and if that may or may not be completely acceptable to the FDA. Another issue is the length of the trial, as it might take years before the definite results of the study could be known.
I believe, this setback gives Novo's direct competitor Sanofi (NYSE: SNY), a major advantage. Sanofi has Lantus, which is a long-acting insulin that is taken once a day for diabetes treatment. Sanofi is also working on a new follow-on to Lantus, which is expected to launch in 2015. Moreover, concerns about what will happen with Tresiba in Europe and Japan remain.
Nevertheless, the setback for Tresiba is hardly a disaster as Novo has a strong future pipeline and its fundamentals remain strong. I believe, this setback will have a very little effect on the Novo Nordisk's future earnings as it still has the Insulin detemir, a long-acting human insulin analogue for maintaining the basal level of insulin, which the company markets under the trade name Levemir.
Novo Nordisk Current Valuation
Novo trades at 26 times trailing earnings. Analyst expectations are for $8.36 in EPS for the current fiscal year, and the current stock price is 20 times that figure, compared to its peer average of 21x. Novo has an impressive cash flow generation, and when I look at the enterprise value implied by the current stock price, it is 16x trailing EBITDA, in-line with the rest of the industry. The current ratio is 1.90; the firm is liquid. Moreover, Novo pays a dividend that has grown rapidly since it was first started.
The share count has already fallen from over 640 million in fiscal 2009 to 580 million at the end of 2012, and considering the management's plan to spend a big chunk of the future cash flow on buybacks and dividends, this trend should continue.
Foolish Bottom-Line
In short, despite the Tresiba setback, Novo Nordisk fundamentals still remain strong and after the discount afforded by the most recent sell-off, shares are certainly approaching an attractive risk/reward zone. All told, I expect a long-term revenue growth outlook of 9% to 10%, along with a steady improvement in the cash flow generation -- Novo can grow its cash flow at a 7%-9% rate for the long term. However, I would wait for the shares to drop to the mid-to-high $150-$155 level, as the shares present an optimal risk/reward there. Sub-$155 is where I will start a long-term position.

I want a new digital camera. As you can see by my pics from the 2 conferences my camera's not so good with the dark places. I see some great pictures take in the same rooms I was in – and I just want to know what cameras you're all using and happy with. I should note that my camera (I have a FujiFilm A340) is 2+ years old – [ Read More ]
I didn't get to attend this session, but I can keep up because Aaron Schmidt has put the presentation online.

Calling the GI Bill hotline? Good luck with that
90% of the calls placed to the hotline to ask about benefits or check on claims don't get through.
Providing education benefits to veterans who've served in places like Afghanistan and Iraq is a wonderful thing. Much back-patting ensued when President Bush signed the Post-9/11 GI Bill into law.
But guess what: When veterans place a call to the VA's GI Bill hotline to learn more about the benefits or check on claims, most of their calls don't get through. The Army Times reports:
VA officials acknowledged almost 90% of calls to the Muskogee, Okla., center never connected between October and December. They either got a busy signal or a message that the call could not be completed. For those who did get through, about 30% of the calls were terminated before their question was answered, either because the caller hung up or was disconnected.
What is the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' explanation for this travesty?
- Too many calls. About 3.5 million calls were placed in October through December.
- Too few employees. The call center is closed on Thursdays and Fridays so that employees can help process a backlog of claims. (The VA is developing a computer program that can process simple applications.)
- The phone system doesn't operate very well.
"It is ridiculous that veterans aren't able to get the answers they need," the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America said in a statement.
There is an online site to find answers to questions. But if you are using Internet Explorer 8.0, it doesn't work well either. The VA says it's also working on that problem.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill provides help with tuition and other education and living expenses to veterans who served at least 90 days of active duty on or after Sept. 11, 2001. But so far, delays have plagued the entire process. Emergency checks were sent in September to help some of the students who had enrolled for a fall semester.
"The combination of the high volume of veterans who applied for benefits with an insufficient number of staff members in the veterans office resulted in many students from around the country still waiting to receive their funds after the Oct. 23 tuition deadline," The Daily Texan said.
Many times, money that was promised never came. Allen Grundy at the Veteran Services Office at the University of Houston shared his observations with KHOU:
He said that he knew of some vets who had depended on that $1,500-a-month living expense check to pay the rent and when it didn't come, some of them were living out of their cars. "We've had some real stories here. At some points, I had to call some landlords, make some arrangements for some of the students," said Grundy.
What do you think? Is this a national embarrassment?

(WNFL)- Kyle Lohse has had up-and-down performances in his last three starts. And if he follows the pattern, Lohse is due for a fabulous outing tonight, when the Milwaukee Brewers close out their series against the Mets in New York. On May 26th, the veteran right-hander gave up four runs in six-and-two-thirds innings. His next time out, June first, Lohse tossed a three-hit shutout against the Chicago Cubs. Then in his last start, he got shelled for eight runs in five-plus innings at Pittsburgh last Friday night. That ended his personal seven-game winning streak. Lohse is 7-and-2 overall, with an ERA of just over 3.25. The Mets will put up left-hander Jonathan Niese against the Crew this evening. He's 3-and-3 with an ERA of just over 2.66. Niese has had no-decisions in his last three starts, even though he gave up just two runs in each appearance. With their two-run victory last night, Milwaukee has regained a five-game edge over second-place Saint Louis in the National League Central Division. The Mets remain fourth in the East, six-and-a-half in back of first-place Washington.

The show took place in a warehouse space in Brick Lane, in a very diaphanous, big, luminous space, the perfect space to show my first collection in a few years (take note Lulu!). And he did it again; by only using blue, orange and black (it remind me a bit of the colour palette Nicholas used for Balenciaga last season), a very street yet posh yet laid back yet classy collection where the colour master (sorry Matthew) showed how he's turning his famous simetrical print signature label into something more casual.
With his previous collection I was already surprised there wasn't prints, just colours, well, this season all we've seen is a rose. I guess Mr Saunders is going back to basics. Somehow -and not just because of the red Louboutin soles giving an extra color- in this show the back of the outfits were for me more interesting than the front.. oh well, good one Jonathan!
