An attorney for the Bonita Springs doctor accused of performing controversial stem cell treatment on a patient who then died expects depositions to be taken this week that he says will help clear his client's name.
Dr. Zannos Grekos had his medical license suspended back in March after a patient, 77-year-old Richard Poling, died following an injection of his own stem cells.
Documents posted on the Department of Health's website show that Poling paid $8,000 by wire transfer to have his own stem cells removed from his body and sent by courier to a lab in Boynton Beach. The cells were to be processed and returned the same day.
According to the documents, Poling had stomach pains before his cells were returned. Doctors discovered the man had a hematoma, and made him comfortable while he waited for his tissue to be returned for re-injection.
The Department of Health found the laboratory used to process the cells "turned out to be a small office in a strip mall" and "the person that allegedly operated the machine that performed the ultrasonic cavitation on the sample of R.P.'s tissue was unsupervised and was not licensed either by the Florida Board of Medicine or by the Florida Board of Clinical Laboratory Personnel."
Further, documents state the stem cell material was not tested, only visually inspected before being brought back to Bonita Springs.
Poling went into cardiac arrest as the cells were injected into his body.
The Department of Health report states the stem cells were found during autopsy in the pulmonary arteries and capillaries.
Grekos' attorney says the clinician who worked at the Boynton Beach lab did not need a license. He tells NBC2 the clinician and an assistant will be interviewed this week by the Department of Health. Department officials have not confirmed that information.

The first "Star Wars Insider" of 2013 presents a behind the scenes look at the audio play, "Smuggler's Gambit," which took fans by storm at Celebration VI this past August.
The piece includes concept art from Paul Bateman, putting a face to the characters of Ro Kurotora and Ryder Thorne. As previously reported on The Boba Bounty, the performance included a minor role of Boba Fett, voiced by The Clone War's very own, Daniel Logan.
Director Kyle Newman shares his thoughts about the production, walking us through the stages of development and reminiscing about the radio plays he listened to as a youngster. It's reinforced "Smuggler's Gambit" is a work of fan fiction, but it showcased the power of fandom and what we can create together.
If you haven't had a chance to plug into the audio play, visit www.StarWars.com/SmugglersGambit for the full audio and some behind the scenes footage.
Issue #139 also highlights the trade paperback release of "Star Wars Blood Ties: Boba Fett is Dead." The second volume of comics further delves into the genealogical consequences of the Fett family.
Dark Horse writer Tom Taylor created a stellar story of Boba Fett's fate at the hands of a vengeful figure from his past – or so it is reported through the galaxy. The story expands on the relationship between Boba Fett's half-brother, Connor Freeman, and Boba's back story as a Protector.
Quite honestly, the tale is too riveting to go into further plot points, but I highly recommend picking up the book, which was released Jan. 23.
Also, look forward to Issue #140, which teases news on the development of Episode VII. Let's hope we hear mention of our favorite bounty hunter.
Even the harshest critic of the prequel trilogy has to admit the most engaging characters in Episode II: Attack of the Clones was the portrayal of Daniel Logan as a young Boba Fett, and his father, Jango Fett, played by actor Temuera Morrison.
Boba Fett became a fan favorite from the original trilogy, even though his back story was fleshed out more so in the expanded universe of comics and novels. However, in Attack of the Clones, we received a cinematic look at the origin and motivations of the child bounty hunter.
In October's edition of Star Wars Insider, readers are treated to two excerpts from interviews with these two actors.
From a 2005 interview, Logan recounts he was surprised when he was offered the role of a young Boba Fett after auditions. He went in thinking he was reading for the part of a Jedi. He also shares an amusing antidote of how he picked up a stick and twirled it around, pretending it was a lightsaber during the auditions.
Morrison's interview is from earlier this year and he talks about the pressure of playing such a pivotal role to the franchise. The father and son dynamic we saw on the screen, also rang true, because he took Logan under his wing during filming – treating him like his own son.
The one disappointment for Morrison, he said, was being killed off so early in the franchise. Luckily for us, we can read more about Jango and Boba in written works.
Thinking back to the prequels, it was the relationship between the bounty hunter and son that stands out the most. While these interviews are short, it's nice to receive some insight from the two actors on how they developed their characters, what it was like to work with George Lucas and relate to other cast and crew.

I came to the Day 15 years ago with no knowledge whatsoever of the local music scene. From the word go, the two names I heard over and over were the Reducers and Karl Kelly. It didn't take long to figure out why.
Karl was a professional in every sense, whether recording his own material, playing a school prom or headlining a festival. He was a magnificent singer and front man who lived for music and the joy it brought.
Musicians like that are of a rare tribe who exult in song, brother- and sisterhood, and the love of people for their best possibilities.

Kelly Preston: New Baby, New Beginnings?
Ronda Kaysen: When John Travolta and Kelly Preston announced that they're expecting a new baby, many hailed the news as a blessing for a family that has endured such an unspeakable loss. After all, isn't a baby a wonderful thing? A child who will fill the void left behind after the sudden death of their 16-year-old son, Jett, last year? Some psychologists, however, aren't so sure that a new baby is always the right thing for a family reeling from grief.
It's not uncommon for a family that has lost a child to have another child. The practice is so common, in fact, that psychologists have coined a term for it -- "replacement child" -- and some warn that having a baby after losing a child isn't always a good idea.
"The idea of replacement -- that people are replaceable like lightbulbs -- it's a devastating myth," Russell Friedman, executive director of the Grief Recovery Institute (which provides recovery training), told CNN. "Is it OK to have other children? Yes. Is it always the smartest to do right away? No. The truth is, you have to grieve the children who died."
CNN profiled Judy Mandel, author of the memoir, "Replacement Child." She described a childhood spent living in the shadow of a sister who died before she was born. Her parents often dressed Judy in her sister's clothes and compared her to a sister she could never replace.
"It was almost like a legend," she said. "There's the aspect of being in the shadow of that. You can't live up to that promise the child had. I was always told what a special child she was, how promising she was in school, how perfect she was -- it's tough. I was thinking, 'I can't be as good as that.'"
Dr. Cara Gardenswartz, a clinical psychologist and momlogic advisor, says that there are things parents like Travolta and Preston can do to thwart these risks. First and foremost is to face the grief head-on.
"There's going to be all kinds of mixed feelings, and that's what happens when there's grief," she says. "It's all about how it's dealt with, how it's talked about. It's all about the open, honest communication."
Parents who've lost a child have another baby for many reasons, Gardenswartz says: They have more love to give; they want to bring a new child into the world and they want to expand their family. A new baby can bring real joy to a family rocked by grief. If the parents are mindful to frame the new birth in that context -- and not hide from the loss -- then the new child can truly be a blessing.
The person who will likely have the hardest time with the new addition is the couple's 10-year-old daughter, Ella. As a child, she's likely to feel guilty and worry that her parents' decision to have another child means that she's not good enough.
Gardenswartz says that, again, the best way to combat these feelings is through open communication. "The key is keeping that kid from the media," she says. "That's what makes their situation more complicated than anything else."

MADISON, WI (WSAU)Wisconsin is unbeaten at 3-0 in home games and has yet to win on the road. That's bad news for Illinois, which visits Camp Randall Stadium this afternoon. It's the second Big Ten Conference game for both teams, with both trying to bounce back from losses.
Kickoff is at 2:30 p.m. Central time. Badger Game day begins at 12:30 on WSAU Both the Badgers and Illini bring struggling offenses into the game. That's a bigger surprise for Wisconsin than Illinois. The Badgers have won six of the last seven meetings between the two schools. Wisconsin's record is 3-2 coming into the game, while Illinois is 2-3.
The game on WSAU will be followed by Badger Hockey tonight.

Rhondda Districts under 13's finished the season with an impressive 12pts to 15 win away to their Cardiff counterparts at St Peters RFC.
Again it was a big defensive effort, in which full-back Garrin Roderick (YGG Y Cymer) led the way that set the platform for Rhondda's victory. A huge commitment to the tackle area meant that Cardiff were always on the back-foot. Flanker Thomas Davies (Ferndale Comp.) and lock Chris True (Treorchy Comp.) had storming games, smashing rucks and mauls, and scattering defenders whenever they charged for the ball.
For much of the first half both sides battered each other to a stalemate, but a lapse in concentration allowed Cardiff to score. However, Rhondda replied immediately through centre Ryan Evans (Tonyrefail Comp.) who outflanked the defence to cross for the try. This was soon followed by a great driving maul from thirty-five metres that gave Rhondda captain Callum Thomas (Tonyrefail Comp.) a deserving try and Rhondda a 7 - 10 lead.
A lost ball against the head in a scrum however saw the Cardiff scrum half sprint clear for a great opportunist try. With the referee signalling a minute left and Cardiff now leading, Rhondda threw everything into attack. Thomas Davies spun and burst clear past several defenders before being brought down, but hard working lock Nathan Jones (Treorchy Comp.) was on hand to continue the break and Rhondda no.8 Will Griff John (YGG Y Cymer) finally powered over for the winning try.
Rhondda try scorers: Ryan Evans, Callum Thomas and Will Griff John.
Report by Rhondda District Coach Chris Jones.
Representing Ponty was Pontypridd under 12's player Dale Hughes. Dale normally represents Rhondda at under 12's, but often substitutes for the 13's. Dale came on at full-back in the frantic final minutes of the second half when Rhondda clinched their dramatic victory.

Children's Fiction ROWLING
Summary: Read by Jim Dale Running time: 11 hrs., 48 mins. 10 CDs. For twelve long years, the dread fortress of Azkaban held an infamous prisoner named Sirius Black. Convicted of killing thirteen people with a single curse, he was said to be the heir apparent to the Dark Lord, Voldemort. Now he has escaped, leaving only two clues as to where he might be headed: Harry Potter's defeat of You-Know-Who was Black's downfall as well. And the Azkban guards heard Black muttering in his sleep, "He's at Hogwarts...he's at Hogwarts." Harry Potter isn't safe, not even within the walls of his magical school, surrounded by his friends. Because on top of it all, there may well be a traitor in their midst.

are my kids the only ones that prefer to be naked? no matter what i try to do they both end up naked.
is this normal?
what would you do about it?
I think it's normal. Our next door neighbors kid went through a phase of not wanting to wear pants for a while. My sister went naked for a long time as a kid. My dd was naked all last Sunday. I wouldn't discourage it unless you are out of the house or have company over.
Well, I do not know if it is normal but both my kids have gone through a naked phase. I started teaching them at about 3 - 4 that they can be naked when it is just us but have to put something on if we have company. They are fine with that rule. DS no longer wants to be naked but when typically wears only shirt and underwear when it is warm. If we have company, he puts shorts on.
just so i am not the only person in the world with children that look like they belong in a nudist colony
they both started it when they discovered how to remove their own clothing. both will wear clothing for company and going places. ds will even try to stay in his room so i don't have to see it (i usually tell him to go to his room to be naked so that people driving by can't see him.)
I know its normal for kids to want to be naked but, it makes me uncomfortable. I'm OK with Cody not having a shirt on if its warm or for Sophia to be in a diaper and tee shirt but, I can't help how I feel about it. I've just told them to keep the clothes on. You can really just decide if its something that you are uncomfortable with if you want
them to wear clothes. Its a personal choice per family. With clothes I am more conservative in general its how I grew up that's sort of stuck in my brain. Its my own problem but,
I don't see anything wrong with it either way honestly. I think if your family is OK with it that's cool for you all if not its OK too. KWIM? Cody on his own is very modest. Sophia was the one that wanted to be naked so I let her have some freedom of a tee-shirt and diaper.

I think it's very normal. My kids have always wanted to be naked. Obviously dd1 (16) now wears clothes, but I don't think she likes it.
Noe, 4.5, strips down pretty much every day. The backyard is pretty private so we let her run around in her undies back there ( I generally ask her to wear undies just so she doesn't get sand or dirt in her tender bits). She has to wear clothes if she goes into the front yard or if we have people over.
All of mine have loved to be naked, 2 in particular were nudists the 2nd of those 2 is the youngest, and i make her stay in her room or mine if she wants to be nakey. My oldest daughter asked why i cared about her running around naked when i let her brother except for company. i said when he was little there wasnt anyone else to care,now that dd wants to be naked the boys dont like her running around like that. DD said to just tell him it's karma

Nature's Life Acidophilus Probiotic Greek Style Smooth Blueberry - 8 oz. (237 ml)
Nature's Life Wild Strawberry Greek Style Probiotic features 9 live fermented, non-filtered and non-centrifuged active cultures as follows:
Probiotics, Our Friendly Bacteria An estimated 10 quadrillion bacteria make their home in the average digestive system. Fortunately, less than one percent of the 400 different species found in the intestine are potentially harmful. The majority of intestinal flora are friendly bacteria, otherwise known as probiotics. These probiotic bacteria support good health by limiting the growth of harmful bacteria, promoting good digestion and increasing resistance to infection.
Probiotic bacteria are completely non-toxic. In fact, friendly bacteria have been used safely and effectively for more than 8,000 years, proving their value to human health. Most often, probiotics have been consumed as part of cultured foods, such as acidophilus milk, yogurt, soy tempeh, and idli (cultured wheat). The friendly bacteria in these foods, specifically Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. bulgaricus, and Bifidobacterium bifidum, multiply in the warm, moist environment of the human body by feeding on the carbohydrates and protein in the digestive tract, then establish colonies along the intestinal wall.
Beneficial Roles of Probiotics Lactobacillus acidophilus and other friendly bacteria play many important roles in maintaining good health. According to experts, regular consumption of probiotics is the best way to maintain healthy intestinal flora. Lactobacilli species do not survive very long in the colon, so bacteria colonies need to be routinely replenished.
Healthy digestion: In addition to producing numerous vitamins, probiotics support healthy digestion. Part of the reason fermented foods are healthful is that some of the proteins, fats and carbohydrates are partially digested by the bacteria, which increases overall digestibility and nutritional value of the food.
Lactose intolerant individuals may gain even more benefits from probiotics. Lactobacilli bacteria ferment as much as half of the lactose in milk—the part of milk that results in the symptoms of bloating, cramps and gas in lactose intolerant individuals—by converting it to lactic acid. Consequently, people with lactose intolerance report fewer digestive problems with cultured dairy foods compared to fresh milk.
The nutritional profile of foods is improved after being cultured with probiotics. Levels of several B vitamins, including vitamins B1, B2, B6 and B12, niacin, folic acid and pantothenic acid are higher in fermented foods, such as yogurt, cheese, kefir and buttermilk. Fermentation also boosts the digestibility of soy foods.
Inhibiting bacterial growth: Probiotics act as natural antibiotics, slowing the growth of harmful bacteria. These friendly bacteria produce substances, including lactic acid, acetic acid, benzoic acid, hydrogen peroxide and natural antibiotics, which limit the reproduction of certain disease-causing bacteria.
Another way that probiotic bacteria maintain a healthy digestive tract is by competing with harmful bacteria in the intestine. When the intestine is full of large colonies of beneficial bacteria, disease-causing bacteria are simply not able to multiply into harmful numbers because there are no available attachment sites on the intestinal wall. This is one of the ways L. acidophilus inhibits the growth of Candida albicans, coliform (e. coli) bacteria and salmonella.Diarrhea can have many causes, but it always has the same result for the bacteria living in the intestine—it flushes them out, leaving the body vulnerable to the growth of opportunistic bacteria. It is important to replenish the body with probiotics during and after a bout of diarrhea. Probiotic bacteria can also help keep the colon healthy when traveling.
Lactobacilli are one of the primary bacteria found in normal vaginal flora, and their presence is believed to inhibit the overgrowth of harmful bacteria, such as Candida. Lactobacillus acidophilus cultures are a popular folk remedy for vaginal health.
Recolonization After Antibiotic Use: Antibiotics, given to treat bacterial infections, ironically can contribute to unhealthy bacteria growth. Antibiotics destroy bacteria, the good along with the bad, leaving the intestine without its normal, healthful flora. In this compromised state, disease-causing bacteria can multiply unchecked by friendly bacteria. When ingested during and following antibiotic usage, L. acidophilus rapidly restores normal flora, shortening the time that undesirable organisms remain in the gut. Bifidobacterium bifidum can also help normalize the intestinal flora after using antibiotics.
Nature's Life uses the same basic principles developed and perfected by prehistoric nomadic peoples to produce Lactobacillus acidophilus products; with the exception that we use modern, high-volume equipment. These improvements, along with trained personnel, scientific methods and quality assurance practices, ensures that every batch meets Nature's Life's high standards of quality.
Nature's Life's lactobacilli are cultured on nutrient-dense food concentrates, such as soy protein, green peas or non-fat milk. Nature's Life adds natural apple juice, pasteurized clover honey, strawberries, carrot juice or maltodextrin for flavor and to provide carbohydrates for the micro-organisms, plus Nature's Life uses only pasteurized water.
Nature's Life's growth medium has a broad range of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, essential fatty acids, organic acids and naturally occurring plant phytonutrients such as flavonoids and carotenoids with beneficial antioxidant properties. The temperature and moisture are carefully controlled during the several days needed for the bacteria to multiply to peak potency.
At the peak of potency, Nature's Life Liquid Acidophilus culture is poured directly into sanitized 16 oz. glass bottles and immediately refrigerated at 36°F to maintain peak potency. These liquid products are the most bioactive of all forms of acidophilus because they are dormant, rather than frozen.
For Nature's Life's freeze-dried powders and capsules, the warm liquid culture is immediately poured into containers, sealed and refrigerated. After cooling, the liquid is poured into trays and instantly freeze-dried. The frozen lactobacillus is then processed through a vacuum freezer to lower the moisture level to an absolute minimum. This freeze-dried product is packaged as either powder or capsules. When swallowed, the microorganisms will rehydrate and begin colonizing the gastrointestinal tract with friendly bacteria.
Nature's Life acidophilus is not filtered, centrifuged or otherwise concentrated or separated from its growth medium to artificially obtain higher concentrations of bacteria per gram or capsule. Centrifuging may damage the lactobacillus by altering the natural clumping, chaining and branching of bacteria cells.
Nature's Life probiotic products retain all the benefits of the nutrient-rich growth medium. All the valuable by-products of the bacteria's metabolism remain in the final product, including B-vitamins, enzymes, organic acids, antibodies and even naturally occurring antibiotics. The conclusion of experts is that products which are centrifuged or filtered are incomplete.
Quality You Can Trust Nature's Life invests significant resources in perfecting the production of high quality Lactobacillus acidophilus cultures. You benefit from Nature's Life's knowledge and experience every time you choose their supplements.
Nature's Life lactobacillus cultures are manufactured with rigorous specifications using state-of-the-art equipment. All equipment and containers are sanitized to ensure that no contaminants or unfriendly pathogenic bacteria corrupt the quality of the L. acidophilus. The large capacity fermentation tanks and freeze dryers maintain consistency in each batch.
Nature's Life Lactobacillus acidophilus meets or exceeds all standards developed by industry associations and government regulations. These standards, established to determine the quality of the finished product, are:
All of Nature's Life Lactobacillus acidophilus products meet the acid test for effectiveness:
Using Nature's Life Probiotics Nature's Life probiotics, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. bulgaricus and Bifidobacterium bifidum, can survive in the stomach for at least an hour. Nature's Life recommends taking probiotics either on an empty stomach or with food, however the presence of food can help the organisms stay alive longer.
Liquid acidophilus should be treated as a perishable product, since it contains live, active organisms. Like yogurt or milk, acidophilus should be refrigerated and used within a short period of time. Contact Nature's Life for a recipe on how to make your own soy-based, milk-free yogurt.
Other Ingredients: Purified Water, Grade A Non-fat Milk, Fructos, Natural Blueberry Flavor, and Acidophilus Culture (which contains billions of active live cells per serving at time of manufacture) Culture of Milk-Based Probiotic Blend of Lactobacillus acidophilus (3 strains), Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus thermophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium lactis, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bifidobacterium infantis

VICKI SMITH, Associated Press
MORGANTOWN, WV (AP) — State inspectors have issued 45
violations at a West Virginia coal mine since two men died there,
including one for negligently rigging the switch on a hoist with a piece
of wood and a rusty bolt.
Edward Finney of Bluefield, Va., died
at Pocahontas Coal's Affinity Mine near Sophia on Feb. 7 when he was
pinned under a hoist he'd been moving trash into. Hoists are used to
move miners and supplies between the surface and underground operations.
Finney's death, an inspection found a newly installed switch on the
service hoist had been improperly installed. The inspector called it a
serious violation indicating "an extremely high degree of negligence."
United Coal Co. owns Pocahontas Coal. It didn't immediately comment
Tuesday but has said it's cooperating with investigators.

Imagine for Natasha
"I vow to love you, through concert tours, through albums, through fan-girls and people that will hate, but I don't know why they would do that, because you are an amazing person, you have endless talent, you have an amazing heart. And i'm over the moon that you chose to give it to me. I love you." You couldn't help the tears that ran down your face as you gazed into Harry's big green eyes, as you read him your vows you've had memorized for a month. You were so happy, this was the day you had been waiting for since the day you first saw his curly hair, and his cute dimples. After two years of dating a world famous pop star, he proposed to you under the Eiffel tower in Paris.
You couldn't even remember Harry's words to you at your wedding because of the way he made you melt. But it didn't matter because next thing you knew you were exiting the chapel heading off to you honeymoon, with louis making side comments about "certain things" to happen while you were away.
"Harry, I need to tell you something." You said holding something behind your back. "Natasha, what is it?" He said with a concerned look. "Don't worry," You said with a smile on your face, "It's good news." Instantly he knew what was happening, he ran up to you and hugged you. And when he pulled back he was crying and laughing at the same time. "I'm so happy to start our new family!" You just stood there and held each other, laughing, because it felt too good to be true.
Throughout your pregnancy Harry was the sweetest person you had ever met, always making sure you were comfortable, and came the day where you found out what the gender of your child would be. The day of, you both agreed you wanted a girl. You got to the office, and you were extremely nervous. The gel they put on you was cold and it didn't help how you felt. But finally the words came, "Congratulations, it's a girl." And you were both overcome with joy.
A few months later, Harry drove you to the hospital, you were in unbelievable pain. It was agonizing, but Harry was right there next to you, always holding your hand, even when you were screaming in his face, telling him how much you hated him. But once your little girl came into the world, all of those feelings washed away. "What's her name?" said the nurse who helped deliver. Harry looked at you and smiled, "Her name is Darcy." The nurse looked at you both and said, "What a beautiful name!"

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- There was no comment from Lavonia Lewars as she walked out of court Monday.
The former owner of Heavenly Angels Child Care pleaded not guilty to fraudulently taking more than $300,000 of tax payer money.
The Commonwealth Attorney's office filed more than 1,400 pages of evidence for their case.
"The investigation reveals she stole over $300,000 in the calendar year of 2011," said Assistant Commonwealth Attorney John Balenovich.
Documents show Lewars paid parents to enroll their children in her Louisville day care program, so she could get more money from the state. However, many of those kids never attended.
Investigators have been tracking Lewars for quite some time. They say the investigation began well before her day care van crashed in June that injured 14 kids and killed one adult on Algonquin Parkway.
"Steve Simpson is the investigator and he was in the process of working on it [the case] when that accident happened," said Balenovich.
Lewars faces charges of theft by deception and intending to defraud to obtain benefits both Class C felonies. If Lewars is convicted on the charges, she could spend a maximum of 20 years in prison.
Lewars' next hearing is scheduled for September 13.
The commonwealth attorney's office says they haven't yet decided if she would have to pay back the money she allegedly stole.

4 High-Flying Dividends with 35+ Consecutive-Year Increases
Chris is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
As I was in the gym lifting weights today, an older gentleman casually pulled me aside. "Let's say that you had some money coming due from a CD that was yielding 5%," he told me, "what would you do with it?"
Read: should I put money into stocks now?
I have answered this question many times – but today I thought through the question in the context of the market's recent rally. What would I do with some extra funds right now, with the S&P 500 hovering around 1460? And moreover, how would I invest it passively?
Surely uncertainty is high. If President Obama is re-elected, will the markets sink? If so, how much? If Governor Romney wins, will they charge full steam ahead? The markets are high, but P/E ratios in some industries, like oil and gas, are low. Is that a good place to park money? If ever there was a time of extreme uncertainty, surely it is now.
I suggested that "I" would be thinking through three different options right now, with the markets having run-up so high.
3 Alternatives
Pay off debt – Assume I had loans with 6% interest. It would take a 7.05% yield, assuming a 15% tax, to equal 6%. If I paid tax at 25%, 8% would be necessary to yield 6%. Therefore, where else can I get a guaranteed yield of 6% besides paying off debt?
Municipal Bonds – Depending on the bond, municipals are largely tax-free. Buying a fund is most convenient, but performance depends on a variety of factors. However, buying a muni fund or scoping out strong local deals is a positive. Barclays has a muni ETF that returned 5.1% through August, and Kiplinger's publishes information on munis every month.
Dividend ETF – Just do not buy now! The markets are too high for my taste. Rather, I would pick a pre-defined level, for simplicity sake, and go all in. For example, I would choose a level roughly 20% lower than present, and then buy. The iShares Dow Jones Select Fund (NYSEMKT: DVY) holds a nice basket of stocks. The ETF holds 102 stocks across a broad array of sectors (information here) and has a .4% expense ratio. Not bad. However, the ETF has lagged the broad market.
So this got me thinking. Why not find a stable of companies with strong dividends and long histories of dividend hikes? This small group could stick with the market while providing sturdy yields. So I did. Here are four of them.
4 High-Flying Dividends
Procter and Gamble is a great firm because it has strong brand recognition in its consumer markets. It owns brands like Olay, Head and Shoulders, Crest, and Oral-B. The marketing juggernaut has its owns product segments, and it continues to expand overseas.
Like P&G, Coca-Cola has a strong brand and is rapidly expanding overseas. Aside from its staple Coke, the company owns Sprite, Vitamin Water, Gatorade, and Minute Maid. Finally, 49 years of successive dividend boosts only fosters confidence.
McDonald's is also growing. At the end of 2011, it had 33,510 restaurants in 119 countries. Of those, 27,075 were franchised and 6,435 were company operated. With a record of steady dividend payouts and a 3.4% yield, McDonald's still looks like a winner.
Unlike its peers, Lockheed Martin has only nine years of straight dividend hikes. However, its 4.9% dividend is massive, and its 23.72% 5-year dividend growth rate is impressive. The strong payouts of Lockheed Martin could raise the returns of a dividend portfolio.
To conclude, I ask you the same question: if you had a CD coming due that just yielded 5%, where would you put it now? Does paying off debt make sense? Should you put it in the safe, tax-free harbors of municipal securities? Or do you foray into stocks?
I have made my decision. But if you are stuck, maybe just take a break and go lift weights. It seemed to do the trick.

A great easy fast recipe. I agree with 5hungrykids in that it's not much different than regular chili dogs, but I also like how it all cooked in the crockpot together. My family loved it.
Reviewed Jun. 11, 2008
This recipe was good, though not sure that it is much different than just regular chili dogs. I had way more chili topping than I did hot dogs. Next time I will use two packages of hot dogs. Love the idea of all of it cooking in the crockpot together. Very quick and easy, which is what my family needs! Thank you for the recipe.

Whether they went to the polls or not, college students certainly made their voices heard in the presidential election this year … online.
Tuesday night, I sat in a room full of students watching the election results unfold on TV. This was the first time most of us had voted, and we approached the event as we do every other major moment in our lives — with phones in hand, ready to immediately connect with the world via text, Twitter and Facebook.
As the networks projected that President Obama had gained the 270 electoral votes necessary to win re-election, thumbs tapped away on phones, and my friends' varied opinions were made known to all.
Whether elated, disheartened or downright angry, many chose to post things in the heat of the moment that I wonder if they'll regret days, years or decades from now.
Of course, sensationalized political posts aren't unique to college students.
President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney on stage together at the end of the last debate at Lynn University.
Newsfeeds around the world were littered with self-appointed constitutional scholars and celebrity pundits. Other posts were unbiased displays of patriotism. And even some enlightened posts educated Facebook and Twitter users with facts about the election and real implications of its outcome.
In fact, political posts were so prominent this week that traditional media emphasized the role of social media in the election, developing tools such as a Twitter election meter to gauge public sentiments based on Twitter keywords.
President Obama's "Four more years" tweet was re-tweeted nearly 750,000 times in less than 24 hours, making it the most shared tweet ever.
But as a college student, I am constantly reminded that everything I say on social media sites leaves a permanent, virtual trail that will be accessible to graduate schools, potential employers and maybe even my future in-laws.
So before I hit "post" on my own viewpoint, I paused, thought about it, and then hit delete instead.
I have opinions, and I'm not afraid to express them, but sometimes, I prefer to keep my feelings private.
Of course, as a general practice, I think Americans should feel comfortable saying what they believe. That is our right.
A friend of mine didn't hesitate to exercise his rights. A pre-medical senior at the University of Florida, Casey Runte posted an extremely passionate and expletive-laced status reflecting his disappointment in the outcome of the election and it blew up with more than 100 "likes."
He later followed that status with another post, explaining his initial reaction and elaborating about why he voted the way he did.
It read:
"I have not had health insurance for 4 years now so I have every right to say what I want. I know how expensive college is, and how expensive medical bills are because I pay for them myself, on my own 100%. You'd think I would be happy that Obama is handing me money, creating cheaper student loans that I use, and forcing me to buy cheap insurance. That couldn't be farther from the truth."
I asked him if it made him nervous to be so real and upfront about his emotions in such a permanent way.
"I will share my opinion about anything in life with whoever asks. I am not afraid to express how I feel, and that goes for politics too," Runte said. "If someone wants to de-friend me on Facebook, they can do so … I will not remove posts or anything of the like. I think that any future employer would be happy to see that an employee or applicant cares so deeply about the field of study they are pursuing and the push they are making for the betterment of society."
Just as Casey and I reacted in different ways to the election, Americans will always have differences in opinion — because we can.

SALISBURY, Md. – Just two weeks into fall session at Salisbury University, an apparent murder-suicide shocks the entire campus community. More details begin to unfold in Tuesday night's triple shooting in Salisbury, which ended with two deaths and a Salisbury University nursing student at Shock Trauma.
It happened shortly before 6:30 p.m. Tuesday night at 139 Onley Road, just a couple of blocks down the street from Salisbury University. It's an area where a lot of students live off campus - a relatively safe neighborhood where many are shaken up.
"I've been in law enforcement for 29 years and I've never seen anything like this involving an SU student. I believe this is unprecedented," Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis said.
"It was pretty scary considering I lived on the road it happened on. And then when I found out that the girl who was shot was from my hometown, that made it even more surreal," Junior at Salisbury University Kellsey Stant said.
Twenty-one-year-old Ryan Shallue of Stevensville, Md. reportedly drove up to the home from Kent Island Tuesday evening. He went inside through the back door and got into an argument with 20-year-old Kristen Loetz, also of Stevensville, and a senior at Salisbury University. That's when 19-year-old Charles Abbott of Hebron, who goes by CJ, jumped in front of Loetz to intervene.
"It certainly appears from interviews with our witnesses, those who were present at the scene, that he clearly tried to protect Ms. Loetz," Sheriff Lewis said.
Shallue then pulled out a semi-automatic handgun he purchased less than two weeks ago and fired multiple rounds, killing Abbott and seriously injuring Loetz. He then reportedly shot himself in the head.
"There was a fourth occupant of the residence who had witnessed this crime unfold, who had barricaded herself in a bedroom in the home. Her name will not be released at anytime," Sheriff Lewis said.
It's clear Loetz and Shallue had been in a long term relationship since high school, but that ended four months ago.
"He had been texting her messages and quite frankly, had been stalking her most recently. She ignored this - apparently ignored this. He armed himself and came to Wicomico County from the Stevensville area," Sheriff Lewis said.
Police say Abbott and Loetz were not romantically involved, just friends. Those who knew Abbott call him a wonderful person and a fine young man.
"One of the best. Great work ethic, great skills. For a guy that's 19 years old, he has the maturity of way beyond his age," President and CEO of Courtesy Chevrolet of Salisbury Ray Nordstrom said.
WMDT also spoke with Executive Director Don Hackett of Dove Pointe where Kristen is a part-time employee in the mentoring program. Hackett describes her as "a caring and compassionate employee."
Loetz is still listed in critical condition at this time but we're told she is stable.
As for Shallue, WMDT took a look at some of the tweets he posted on twitter hours before the shooting - some which are quite disturbing. He said "Ready to do some big things, you will hear about it," and "Number one goal: give all you <expletive> regrets."
The investigation is ongoing.

Thirty-five percent of all public transit buses now run on alternative fuels or hybrid technology. We're answering a Good Question about whether the green revolution is showing up in school buses.
"Is the Lee County School District actively pursuing the use of electric or hybrid school buses instead of diesel models?" –Chuck, North Fort Myers
The technology for alternative energy has really advanced. In addition to electric and hybrid, some buses now run on compressed natural gas, biodiesel and propane among others. Yes, it's more efficient and better on the environment but it comes with a steep initial cost.
The Lee County School District operates 730 buses. I took this Good Question to the man in charge of the fleet.
"I'm ready! Give me the Good Question of the day," said Robert Morgan, the Transportation Director for Lee County schools.
Will we see his department running on anything other than diesel? Morgan said not anytime soon.
"It all sounds well and good when you have all these great ideas, but if that idea fails you're compromising taxpayer money," Morgan explained.
He says he monitors other school districts which use alternative energy. Manatee County, for example, used grant money in 2007 to acquire two plug-in hybrid buses.
The initial purchase and higher maintenance costs are the biggest concerns for Lee County's transportation director. New diesel buses are around $90,000. A hybrid-electric version costs around $250,000.
"In my opinion we should not test any of these things using taxpayer money," Morgan said.
While Lee County schools aren't yet moving away from diesel, public transportation is.
Half of LeeTran's fleet of 60 buses and trolleys is now hybrid-electric.
LeeTran's marketing manager rattles off the benefits.
"Cleaner technology, carbon monoxide and it's quieter, too," said Joann Haley, LeeTran.
She said the department could have never afforded the hefty price for hybrid had it not been for a $14 million federal grant two years ago.
"The cost of acquisition is quite a bit higher," Haley said. "You're paying about a $200,000 premium for the hybrid package."
Haley is confident the fuel savings will help LeeTran come out ahead in the long run.
"Hopefully as more transit agencies buy hybrids the costs will come down," Haley said.
Until costs come down, Lee County's transportation director says he can't afford alternative energy.
"My responsibility to the tax payer of this county is to make sure every penny is spent wisely," said Morgan.
A spokesperson for the Collier County School District tells me they are not considering hybrid-electric. Last year, Collier schools looked at compressed natural gas and propane as alternative fuels.
In the end though, cost remains the primary reason more schools aren't moving forward with alternative energy.

Iowa's offense got a spark in the second half from backup quarterback C.J. Beathard, which included this bomb to receiver Damond Powell.
Powell is one of Iowa's fastest receivers and clearly beat the defense on this route.
While Powell's speed and Beathard's throw were nice, neither were as awesome as Powell's one-handed grab to give Iowa a huge momentum boost in the third quarter.

It's unusual to see changes in the coordinator ranks just three weeks into the season, but Texas Tech has decided to fire co-defensive coordinator Matt Wallerstedt.
Wallerstedt was fired one week after the Red Raiders' defense was gashed for 438 rushing yards in the 49-28 loss to Arkansas.
However, according to reports, Wallerstedt's firing isn't related to Texas Tech's on-field performance.
ESPN's Jake Trotter reported on Thursday that Wallerstedt was fired after being under the influence of an unknown substance in the school's football building.
Wallerstedt shared the defensive play-calling with Mike Smith, and Smith is going to call the plays for the remainder of the 2014 season.
Most of Smith's experience as a coach is in the NFL ranks, including three years with the Jets.
Smith played linebacker at Texas Tech from 2001-04 and recorded 104 tackles during the 2012 season.
With only three returning starters, Texas Tech's defense was expected to be a work in progress in 2014. And so far, the Red Raiders have struggled on that side of the ball.
The Red Raiders are allowing 5.2 yards per play and ranked last in the Big 12 by giving up 36.7 points per contest.
An infusion of junior college recruits was slated to help the defensive line, but Texas Tech has just three sacks in three games and was dominated by Arkansas last Saturday – a week after struggling against UTEP.
Smith will have three tough opponents to open his tenure as the defensive coordinator, starting with the Sept. 25 date at Oklahoma State, followed by games against Kansas State and West Virginia.

Florida State has suspended quarterback Jameis Winston for the first half of Saturday's game against Clemson due to inappropriate comments made on Tuesday on campus.
In a statement from the university, Florida State also indicated Winston will undergo internal discipline.
With Winston missing the first two quarters, the Seminoles will turn to backup Sean Maguire.
Maguire completed 13 of 21 passes for 116 yards and two scores last season and has attempted just five throws in 2014.
Maguire has not started a game during his Florida State career and was rated as a three-star prospect in the 2012 signing class.
Prior to Winston's suspension, Florida State was considered at least a 20-point favorite on Saturday.
While the Seminoles are still likely to be picked to win by most, the margin for error for Jimbo Fisher's team has narrowed.
Maguire has experience but none against a first-team defense. Clemson's defensive line is one of the best in the nation and features All-American end Vic Beasley.
Expect a limited gameplan for Maguire, and Fisher will likely place the bulk of the offense on the shoulders of running backs Mario Pender and Karlos Williams.
Also, Florida State's defense can help its offense by creating a few turnovers. The Tigers' offense struggled in the second half against Georgia and is a work in progress with new quarterback Cole Stoudt.

Arizona State quarterback Taylor Kelly left the Week 3 victory over Colorado due to a foot injury, and the senior is not expected to play in the Sun Devils' upcoming showdown against UCLA on Sept. 25.
With Kelly sidelined, Mike Bercovici is slated to take the first snap against the Bruins.
Bercovici played in Kelly's absence during the second half against Colorado and completed 2 of 4 passes for eight yards.
While Kelly will be missed, Bercovici does have experience, throwing 24 passes over the last three seasons.
Bercovici is not as strong of a runner as Kelly, but the Sun Devils can lean more on D.J. Foster and freshmen Kalen Ballage and Damario Richard to carry the offense on the ground.
It's uncertain when Kelly will be able to return to the lineup, but his absence comes at a critical time for Arizona State. Arizona Sports reported Kelly suffered a broken foot and will be out at least a month.
The Sun Devils play UCLA on Sept. 25, then travel to USC the following Thursday. If that wasn't difficult enough, games against Washington and Stanford round out the month of October. Considering Arizona State's difficult schedule, Kelly's injury and how well Bercovici plays will determine whether or not the Sun Devils are still a threat to repeat as Pac-12 South champs.
UCLA's offensive line has struggled, and quarterback Brett Hundley was injured in Saturday's win over Texas. USC lost at Boston College and was outplayed in a win at Stanford.
Who should be the favorite in this division? As always, it's a matter of survival. UCLA continues to win close games, and USC still has depth concerns.
It's tough to count out Arizona State with explosive playmakers like Foster and receiver Jaelen Strong, but the defense featured several new faces stepping into the starting lineup.
Can Bercovici and a rebuilt defense hold the Sun Devils' title hopes together for the next few weeks? Or will Kelly's injury doom Arizona State's title hopes? For now, it's easy to assume the latter, but the rest of the struggles in the Pac-12 South suggest this race is far from over - even with Kelly sidelined.

As expected, it was a rough day for Kent State against Ohio State. The Buckeyes easily handled the Golden Flashes, winning 66-0 to bounce back after a disappointing loss to Virginia Tech in Week 2.
In addition to recording only 126 yards and turning the ball over three times, Kent State quarterback Colin Reardon completed only 14 of 27 passes for 76 yards.
And there was a pass Reardon would like to have back to avoid the highlight reels, as he rolled to his right and attempted to throw downfield. However, instead of the pass taking flight downfield, Reardon's throw simply landed at his feet.
The biggest fail of Week 3?
Virginia Tech scored a surprise win over Ohio State in Week 2, but the Hokies fell victim an upset-minded East Carolina team in Week 3.
The Pirates won 28-21, but there were a few highlight plays for Virginia Tech, including receiver Isaiah Ford's touchdown catch in the second half. Ford's catch was reviewed but the touchdown was upheld.
Check out Ford's nifty one-handed grab:

Whether it's by air or via the ground, Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota is one of the nation's best. And on Saturday against Wyoming, Mariota made a highlight reel play by taking a rushing touchdown for a score.
Mariota didn't find an open option on his passing reads and chose to take off on the ground. The junior needed some help to score, choosing to take to the air to reach the endzone.

The guys over at VW Vortex were apparently at the right place at the right time when they were in Germany a couple of weeks ago. They came upon a bunch of new Audi catalogs and while flipping through the pages, they came across a little sporty discovery.
Audi Exclusive is offering a new interior option for the TT sports car , both coupe and roadster versions. The new interior is inspired by the RS5's interior and includes a combination of black and accenting Karmesin Red fine Nappa leather. With the TT, Audi has decided to filter even more of the Karmesin Red throughout the interior by including it in on the center console, 6'oclock spoke on the steering wheel, and even on the inside of the doors; elements to which were left in black on the Audi RS5.
The new option can be ordered anywhere in Europe, but there are no details yet on its availability in the North American market.
