Medical marijuana bills come up in the legislature almost every year, so it's not surprising to hear of two bills working to legalize medical marijuana in Iowa this year.
"Since the 1930s this has been a ridiculous law. The prohibition of marijuana needs to end," said activist Bob Wright.
"Drugs are bad, but marijuana is not a drug," he added, stating that doctors have indicated marijuana is the "least harmful substance that a human being can take."
Currently, SF79 and HF22 both aim to legalize medical marijuana for people with a "chronic or debilitating medical condition" such as cancer, glaucoma or HIV.
But critics in the Governor's office say debating the issue sends mixed messages to people, particularly teens.
"We spend a lot of time trying to educate our youth that drugs are harmful, and they're not healthy life choices, and they can have some real long-term consequences," said Steven Lukan, Director of the Governor's Office of Drug Control.
"When policy makers and people of authority start talking about legalization, it really sends a mixed message to them," he said.
Opponents of legalized marijuana say the term "medical marijuana" is no different than marijuana purchased from a drug dealer.
Interestingly enough, proponents say that's one reason it should be legalized.
"To me, what's important is taking America's number one cash crop out of the hands of our drug dealers. I mean, more than corn and wheat combined is what marijuana is worth in this country. That's what they're making, and all that money is going to the people with guns," said Wright.
Lukan said he doesn't see the legalization of medical marijuana as a way to make Iowa's economy healthier.
"We think this would actually be counteractive to those efforts," he said.
Only time will tell how long the bills will stick around and be debated.
Neither has made onto the floor for a vote.

I decided to combine the two. They complemented each other nicely. Some folks may want to have a sharper cheese like that on crackers; I love to crumble it off the block on it's own. If you can pair it with a La Trappe trippel, I think you'll like the results.

When a living, air-breathing human being actually comes into the world, being "pro-life" becomes infinitely harder. This requires you to actually care about people. The sort of care that takes a critical mind, patience, and self awareness. The sort of care that requires figuring out why things are the way they are so that you can work toward actually fixing them. The sort of care that takes compassion and an unending dedication to a better for life for all humans.
The sort of care that marching around, waving huge dead baby posters, and calling women murderers is completely and utterly devoid of.

NASA's Phoenix Mars Mission is being honored with a Breakthrough Award by Popular Mechanics magazine today in New York City. In its fourth year, the awards recognize innovators who improve lives and expand possibilities in science, technology, engineering and exploration.
Peter Smith of the University of Arizona, principal investigator for Phoenix, is accepting the award on behalf of the Phoenix team. Phoenix Project Manager Barry Goldstein of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Ed Sedivy, the Phoenix program manager at Lockheed Martin Space Systems in Denver, were also recognized for their mission leadership.
Now in the final weeks of an extended mission, the Phoenix lander has been studying the Martian arctic for evidence of past liquid water, and habitability, and studying the current climate and atmosphere since landing on the Red Planet on May 25. Robotic laboratory instruments have "sniffed and tasted" the Martian soil and ice to analyze their chemical and mineral properties. More than 25,000 images from the surface of Mars have been returned by the lander's camera systems.
A complete report on the Breakthrough Awards, and a full list of the nine winners are available in the November 2008 issue of Popular Mechanics and online at www.popularmechanics.com/breakthrough08 .
The Phoenix mission is led by Smith, with project management at JPL and development partnership at Lockheed Martin. International contributions come from the Canadian Space Agency; the University of Neuchatel; the universities of Copenhagen and Aarhus, Denmark; Max Planck Institute, Germany; and the Finnish Meteorological Institute.

- " I think it's a good place to stay when you're a good sleeper and don't bother about the noise at night. You're in the middle of the town of Mykonos and the noises of the nightlife are very close. But it is a good clean place. When you need to go to the toilet you have to go outside on the balcony to enter the (private)lavatory. There is good Wifi and there is a very friendly and helpful staff. "

Narrow your search
Here you'll find a list of our favorite Blu-ray players, with a heavy emphasize on value.
The Philips HTB3525B packs Blu-ray, Smart TV, and Bluetooth into an affordable sound bar, making it a great choice if you're looking for an all-in-one system.
The Sony BDP-S3200 will play your Blu-rays just fine but it doesn't do enough to embrace streaming media like its competitors.
Samsung revealed its new flagship Blu-ray player at CES 2013, capable of upconverting content to 4K and a nifty reverse-AirPlay streaming-video feature.
Samsung's BD-P4600 Blu-ray player is packed with features and its unique design makes it wall-mountable, but most buyers will be better off with the step-down BD-P3600.
The Insignia NS-2BRDVD is an underfeatured and slow-loading Blu-ray player, but it provides basic Blu-ray playback at a bargain.
Pricing not available
The BDP-S300 is a decent choice if you're limiting yourself to a relatively cheap, standard-design Blu-ray player, but everyone else should consider the competition.
If you do a lot of movie watching with your PS3, the Sony PlayStation 3 Blu-ray DVD Remote is a nice luxury, but it's not a must-have accessory for the PS3.
The LaCie d2 Blu-ray burner offers good performance speeds, but it's still prohibitively expensive. Home users should wait for Blu-ray burners to drop in price and improve in performance.
The LG BD590 deftly handles Blu-ray playback, CD ripping, and streaming media services like Netflix from a single box, but you'll have to pay for that simplicity.
The $299 Blu Life View serves up a huge 5.7-inch display, runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, is unlocked, and bears dual SIM card slots.

Planning and follow-up of training sessions
A successful training program is first and foremost systematic, and is guided by defined goals. It is divided into seasonal, monthly and weekly schedules, ending for many active runners in a targeted event like a marathon. Training is based on this target.
The importance of periodization in the program cannot be exaggerated, because the body will need to gradually prepare and adapt to an ever increasing workload. Training in four-week cycles is common practice. Intensity and volume increase steadily during the first three weeks, while the fourth is a recovery week. During base 1 and base 2, training volumes increase every four weeks, and decrease only once you reach the transition period. Correspondingly, intensity levels increase and decrease in four-week cycles. Two or three weeks before the main event, keeping your muscles primed on a daily basis is more important than sticking to your weekly targets.
When planning your training week, remember the delicate balance between training and recovery. Engage in fast-paced intensive training only once your body is well recovered and prepared. Also, leave long aerobic training for the end of the week, and make sure your energy reserves are well-stocked to make the most of the session.
Allow for sudden changes in your schedule. With proper follow-up, you will be able to ensure training success despite small variations.

Likhovtseva, Nestor Finally Win Slam Together
Published January 28, 2007 12:00
MELBOURNE, Australia - Often times, one plays their best tennis in the absence of pressure. One of the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour's most seasoned veterans did just that on Sunday in Melbourne, just weeks after deciding to hold back on retirement from the pro circuit; Elena Likhovtseva and Daniel Nestor finally grabbed mixed doubles glory at the Australian Open, beating Belarussian duo Victoria Azarenka and Max Mirnyi, 64 64, in the championship match.
"This is my second title in mixed doubles, but because Daniel and I played all last year and had two finals and didn't succeed, it is very nice to win with him," said Likhovtseva, who had previously held a major mixed title at Wimbledon in 2002; she and Nestor were runners-up last year at the Australian and French Opens. "It was our second time in the finals in Australia. We won and I hope we continue playing the whole year. So it feels very nice."
"We had a pretty good game plan; the fact that Elena plays really well from the baseline and I play well from the net is a good combination for us," Nestor said. "The inexperience of the young Belarusian, Victoria, maybe showed a little bit, although I thought she played really well. Maybe a couple loose errors at the net cost them. Max was aggressive, but I think he's played better matches. His serve wasn't as big as some other times I've played him in the past. I think we capitalized on our opportunities and it worked out."
The winning team was unseeded in the draw, but took out a plethora of seeds, namely No.8 seeds Meghann Shaughnessy and Martin Damm (first round), No.3 seeds Samantha Stosur and Leander Paes (quarterfinals) and No.7 seeds Liezel Huber and Kevin Ullyett (semifinals). Azarenka and Mirnyi were a wild card team who took out, among others, No.1 seeds Lisa Raymond and Bob Bryan and No.4 seeds Francesca Schiavone and Jonas Bjorkman.
Likhovtseva's decision to prolong her career at the end of last year brought joy to both her and her Canadian partner; and rightly so, considering a Grand Slam title was just around the corner.
"I've been on the tour for a long time and I just decided that I should start doing something different," said Likhovtseva, who enjoyed the best year of her career in 2005, finishing ranked No.17, but dipped down to No.42 by the end of 2006. "But then I thought if I still enjoy it, and I did, then at the end of last year I had good results, and I decided that I should maybe go another year."
"I'm very happy that Elena decided not to retire at the end of last year," Nestor said. "She told me she might. It's good that she stayed. We played well the whole way through, both of us played well, and especially today we both played well."

Nicaragua Too Poor to be Socialist
While the author admits this idea comes from scribbles on a cocktail napkin at Rancho Santana rather than a serious study, he does make some good points. It is from the Australian edition of The Daily Reckoning and looks at Nicaragua's economy vs. just the US food stamp program.
With most of our readers in the US, it is a useful data point for those who are concerned that Nicaragua is too Socialist to agree with their political views.
Last year, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) - i.e. food stamp program - in the United States spent $7.4 billion more than it did the year before. $7.4 billion happens to be almost identical to the entire GDP of Nicaragua, a nation of 5.9 million inhabitants.
SNAP used its additional $7.4 billion to feed 4.4 million of America's poorest citizens. Meanwhile, all 5.9 million Nicaraguans - rich and poor alike - managed to "live on" $7.4 billion.
Have had a few discussions
Have had a few discussions comparing US to Nicaragua economically and at this point I can't help but feeling that the prosperity of the US and other countries is directly connected to the social programs these countries provide. Yes, I read Thomas Sowell and I have watched plenty of fox news and I agree that many people abuse the system. But look at countries that have social programs versus those that don't. In Nicaragua, for instance, with no social safety net, people are desperate for work. People who are desperate for work are willing to accept subsistence wages and that puts a tremendous amount of downward pressure on wages.
Now consider what happens in the US. People who are out of work can generally get a steady unemployment check until they can find another job. So they are more selective. They will not accept any job, they will not accept subsistence wages. This reduces to some extent the downward pressure on wages. Eventually these people go back to work and they can be confident in bargaining a fair wage or salary since they are not in danger of starving to death. My parents received help from the government for several years when I was growing up. There simply was not a lot of work at the time. Eventually they became middle income and have since payed back way more in taxes than what they received.
Then there are the out and out scammers. They are living off the government. They are taking our tax dollars. If social programs disappeared would these people magically stop being scammers? I feel they would continue being dishonest and would target individuals. So is it better that individuals lose a large amount of money or that we all loose a little bit of money? Sometimes it is not about what is fair but it is about what works in the real world. Just like lowering the upper tax rates has caused increases in tax revenues in the past. When Kennedy lowered the maximum tax rate, the federal government saw an increase in revenues because for some people it was no longer worth it to keep their money in tax shelters. Is it fair that billionares often pay less in taxes than people with upper middle-class incomes? Maybe not but reality is reality and revenue is revenue which is what the IRS was put in place for.
Jane Jacob, Cities and the Wealth of Nations
The whole thing is circular -- you need a good economy to have a decent social safety net. In Nicaragua in the countryside, the social safety net is the family, and access to land with one source of year round running water (or Lake Apanas, which is used to irrigate a lot of fields, approved by MARENA or not). If people have that, they won't starve. There are people from Mexico to South America who do subsistence farming/fishing/hunting and who will kill you if you try to change that. No nation state wants to have a high percentage of subsistence farmers/hunters/gatherers because they don't pay taxes.
In some societies, the only source of capital that can invest in complex projects is the government (19th Century Japan, Costa Rica for education and health care, here for water systems and health care).
I don't think there's one thing that makes Nicaragua poorer than the US, or one thing that's bringing the US down compared to Europe. The US still has the biggest economy in the world, but the GINI index is now less equitable than Nicaragua's. GINI indexes over 50 go with political instability, regardless of the kind of economy or political system. GINI indexes under 30 tend to make countries very stable.
Rebecca Brown
You are arguing with a
an internet search engine article for one of the investors at Rancho Santana.
Teach the seniors to fish?
The author's criticisms are in respect to a fallacy he sees per SNAP justification (the "broken window fallacy"). The problem is that this very criticism is the result of a different fallacy, his fallacy (the "straw man" fallacy). Note that his FDA opponents do not actually state the SNAP program leads to or delivers prosperity. They claim giving the equivalent of food to people below a stated poverty line has economic benefits beyond the cost of the food itself (they are trying to show demonstrate - rightly or wrongly, well or poorly- that money distributed in this program is not money wasted, the common argument against most or all government subsidy programs). Though they do not state it in the documents he cites, they are not justifying the existence of the program on arguments from prosperity; they believe there are moral arguments for the existence of the program (he doesn't touch those). Yet his criticisms are in terms of their program not creating prosperity. Prosperity and economic activity are not the same thing (he used to work for Barron's, The Wall Street Journal, Money, etc. – so presumably this isn't news).
Additionally, when discussing prosperity he ignores the reason for the program in the first place: they are called food stamps, because they deal with food, not with prosperity (otherwise we might call them prosperity stamps – and that really would be a bad idea). Feeding someone does not result in that person, or his neighbor, becoming wealthy. No one actually claims that, least not anyone he has cited. Granted, the FDA isn't helping matters by justifying their not-s-bad programs with bad ideas, or badly implemented ideas (if too many people who do not deserve assistance are on the program, lower the payout and/or threshold of the program). While FNS "parties" might not be the most brilliant idea, cherry-picking SNAP administrative details, also isn't a brilliant idea – unless you are merely preaching to the choir. Their goal of FDA outreach programs was to make sure people who qualified at least knew they qualified.
It is worth adding that massive growth in the SNAP program was a Bush-sponsored act, first. SNAP use grew nearly 65% under Bush, mostly due to outreach – and FDA's use of major advertising channels all started under Bush in 2004. While the author claims SNAP job-creation assessments are meaningless, on some importance sense so is his entire analogy to Nicaragua: it is not revealing, insightful, or meaningful. The author's gripe is more per bad economic theories (what people currently sometimes use to justify the old program) than bad public policy (the old program itself). He does offer an idea at the end: "…provide help to those who need it; spare the rest of us the bogus economic theories that justify the government's intrusion into every nook and cranny of private life…". Hmm, so providing help is o.k., or not o.k.? Providing help is o.k., as long as you don't advertise the help exists? Or, providing help is o.k., just don't try to justify it with an economic argument we don't use at the Wall Street Journal? This is where the article falls apart though, not where it comes together. When the gripe and poor analogies are done, he doesn't have anything to offer.
One big problem SNAP has (not one of the cherry-picked examples in the article) is that many seniors do not know they qualify or what the basis of the program is. Rather than teaching them how to fish, the author has nothing to offer per how SNAP will reach people so they at least know they qualify – even if they do not pursue the benefits. A view from yet another economist who appears to not personally know any poor people, let alone any poor seniors (teaching them to fish, or much else, isn't an answer at this point is their lives).
I Heard An
NPR segment on food waste in the US. The number is estimated to be from $100 to $165 billion annually. That's a big variance, but it probably comes from your definition of "waste". That number dwarfs the cost of food stamps.
I've never had a problem with the food stamp program. It's a small amount of money, and despite the many abuses, some of it must wind up (food, not money) in the mouths of hungry children. I've always been a fan of free school lunches. The food goes directly into the mouth of the child, and is not filtered through druggie parent middlemen.
It's easy to be critical of the recipients, especially while standing in line at the check out stand. The computerized registers separate out what is "food stamp purchasable", and the cigarettes (at $50 /carton in California) and the booze have to paid for in cash. There is such a wide slice of the country receiving assistance now that there is no well defined food stamp recipient anymore. When your social contemporaries are struggling to find a job, keep their homes, it's much harder to dismiss assistance recipients as freeloaders.
It's looking more and more like we may have another four years of pain. Although it's never over until the proverbial fat lady sings, another four years of political gridlock will put additional thousands out of their homes, postpone their dreams, and yes, make for more hungry kids.
I've recently been comparing my purchases against the average Nica daily wage in my neck of the Campo. That "Original $6 Burger" from Carls Jr is a buck more than a young Nica man earns for a day's machete work. The elegant $200 dinner would be 40 days of labor; the bottle of wine alone 10.
We have so much in the US, and we waste so much of what we have.
Here is a tropical country with year round agriculture
A lot of comparing the US to here is very much like comparing declawed house cats to White Tailed Deer. People who have access to land here (often their absentee boss's) can pretty much feed themselves (one friend's coffee production drops by at least a third if he doesn't visit weekly). I've heard of people living for years without a full time permanent cash job. They ate a lot of fish out of Lake Apanas.
The need in the campo is for zinc roofing, which allows people to keep a cleaner house and avoid the Chagus bugs that show up in thatch. And cell phones.

Sergei Kostitsyn has been suspended for the second time this season by the Montreal Canadiens and Hamilton Bulldogs.
According to several media reports, Kostitsyn left the AHL's Bulldogs on Wednesday and was immediately suspended by the Canadiens. He had four points in Hamilton's first five games after being sent to the AHL just prior to the beginning of the regular season.
"It was his decision, not mine," Kostitsyn's agent, Don Meehan told The Canadian Press during a Wednesday interview.
The agent also told The Canadian Press the forward would be meeting with Canadiens general manger Bob Gainey later in the day. Meehan said he would not be taking part.
According to RDS, the Canadiens now expect Kostitsyn to entertain offers from the Kontinental Hockey League in Russia, where three teams are known to be interested in his services.
"I know that Sergei is thinking about going to play in Russia, but I don't know if he'll go," said Meehan to The Canadian Press.
Kostitsyn, whose brother Andrei still plays for Montreal, was first suspended on Sept. 30 when he refused to report to Hamilton after being sent down by the Canadiens. He asked for a trade from the team, but when one didn't materialize he eventually changed his mind and reported to the Bulldogs.
Last season, the Belarussian native scored eight goals and added 15 assists for 23 points in 56 games. Last Saturday he had two goals and an assist as Hamilton beat the Chicago Wolves 5-4.

Currently there are 5 analysts that rate Cheniere Energy a buy, no analysts rate it a sell, and none rate it a hold. The average volume for Cheniere Energy has been 3.6 million shares per day over the past 30 days. Cheniere Energy has a market cap of $11.8 billion and is part of the basic materials sector and energy industry. The stock has a beta of 5.21 and a short float of 6.2% with 6.74 days to cover. Shares are up 15% year-to-date as of the close of trading on Friday. STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Cheniere Energy as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, solid stock price performance and growth in earnings per share. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including disappointing return on equity and generally higher debt management risk. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- LNG's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 3.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 2.6%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 129.80% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Regarding the stock's future course, our hold rating indicates that we do not recommend additional investment in this stock despite its gains in the past year.
- The gross profit margin for CHENIERE ENERGY INC is rather high; currently it is at 55.40%. Despite the high profit margin, it has decreased significantly from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, LNG's net profit margin of -148.90% significantly underperformed when compared to the industry average.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 19.27 and currently higher than the industry average, implying increased risk associated with the management of debt levels within the company. Despite the company's weak debt-to-equity ratio, the company has managed to keep a very strong quick ratio of 4.59, which shows the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry and the overall market, CHENIERE ENERGY INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Even on Twitter, where the comedian has more than 200,000 followers, his humor comes across so dry it needs its own wildfire warning. "Ordering coffee with a shot of espresso," he observed recently, "is like asking me to do one of my amazing jokes with another one of my amazing jokes in it."

The MAC Too Supreme Collection presents a slew of new sheen supreme shades and introduces MAC Sheen Supreme Lipglass, a lipglass in a clickable pen tube. The collection is inspired by East Asian shades.
I have always loved Sheen Supreme lipsticks and the new MAC Sheen Supreme lipglass was a rather present surprise for me. Below are MAC Too Supreme swatches, photos, and my review of the collection.
Here is photo of the full lineup, which has a number of great shades. The new Sheen Supreme Lipglass particularly impressed me. I have had issues in the past with MAC lipglass being sticky, but these were not sticky at all and had pretty decent pigment to them. I also tend to like click up lip gloss applicators, although you have to be careful to not overload the brush.
MAC Too Supreme Swatches
Below are swatches from left to right of Sheen Supreme Lipstick in the shades Asian Flower, Korean Candy, and Royal Azalea. Those are followed by swatches of Sheen Supreme Lipglass shades in Cherry Fest, Jasmine Honey, and Mango Sheen.
Here is a lip swatch of MAC Sheen Supreme Lipglass in Cherry Fest. I didn't do a lip swatch of Jasmine Honey because it was such a light shade.
Here is a lip swatch of the Mango Sheen lipglass. I really, really like this one!
The MAC Too Supreme Collection is available now through early April.

LEWISBURG, Pa. — Bucknell University's Gallery Series will present a Balinese music and dance performance by Gamelan Dharma Swara on Tuesday, March 23, at 8 p.m. in Rooke Recital Hall of the Weis Music Building at Bucknell.
The concert, which is free and open to the public, is part of the University's ongoing series of both world music and experimental new music concerts, funded by the Bucknell department of music.
Members of Dharma Swara also will lead a dance workshop in the Tustin Black Box Theatre from 1 to 2:30 p.m. and a gamelan workshop in Rooke Recital Hall at 2:30 p.m. Both workshops on Tuesday, March 23, are open to the public; no registration is required.
New York City's Gamelan Dharma Swara, directed by master Balinese artists, studies and performs traditional works and develops new compositions for Balinese gamelan. In residence at the Indonesian Consulate, the independent, nonprofit ensemble has been invited to perform at the world-famous Bali Arts Festival in July 2010.
Bethany Collier, an assistant professor of music at Bucknell, is also a member of Dharma Swara. "This performance will showcase traditional dance and music of the Balinese gong kebyar along with a new experimental piece composed especially for the ensemble," said Collier.
"The music and dance are intimately paired -- the gamelan's loud, blazingly fast displays of virtuosity are realized in the dancers' quick, precise movements. Likewise, sweet, shimmering musical resonances match the dancers' soft, gentle gestures. Dharma Swara's visit presents a rare opportunity for our community to experience the richness of these artistic traditions," she said.
The word 'gamelan' refers to certain large percussion-based ensembles of Java and Bali, Indonesia. Instruments in a Balinese gamelan include a range of bronze-keyed metallophones (gangsa), tuned gongs, bamboo flutes (suling) and drums (kendang).

Is NASDAQ Cheap?
Anh is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Recently, a famous private equity fund, Carlyle Group, entered discussions with NASDAQ OMX Group (NASDAQ: NDAQ) to discuss taking the exchange company private. However, the deal fell apart because the two parties couldn't agree with each other on the buyout price. Since the middle of 2012, NASDAQ's share price has experienced quite a sweet rise, from $22 per share to more than $31 per share. Is NASDAQ a good investment opportunity at its current price? Let's see.
Business Snapshot
NASDAQ, founded in 1971, is a global exchange group operating several exchanges, including the NASDAQ Stock Market in the US. It has three main business segments: Market Services, Issuer Services, and Market Technology. The majority of its net revenue (less transaction rebates, brokerage, clearance and exchange fees), $1.1 billion, or 66.4%, was generated from the Market Services segment. The Issuer Services ranked second, generating $375 million in revenue, while the net revenue of the Market Technology segment was $184 million in 2012.
Consistent and Growing Cash Flow
What I like about NASDAQ is the consistent and growing cash flow that it has generated in the past 10 years. Since 2002, the operating cash flow has grown from $157 million to nearly $670 million. The free cash flow has also followed the same trend, increasing from $72 million in 2002 to $581 million in 2011. Indeed, I personally think that was what Carlyle was looking for: a growing and consistent cash generator. In addition, NASDAQ seems to have quite a strong balance sheet with a reasonable amount of leverage. As of December 2012, it had $5.2 billion in total equity, nearly $500 million in cash, and $1.93 billion in long-term debt. However, what worries me is the huge goodwill and intangible assets that NASDAQ carried on its balance sheet. At the end of 2012, it had $5.34 billion in goodwill and $1.65 billion in intangible assets. With the huge goodwill and intangibles, NASDAQ is quite vulnerable to write-downs, which would negatively affect its short-term earnings result. Since 2007, NASDAQ has returned a huge amount of cash to shareholders in the form of share buybacks. The amount of treasury stock increased from $8 million in 2007 to more than $1 billion in 2012.
Relatively Undervalued Compared to Peers
At the current trading price of $31 per share, NASDAQ's total market cap is $5.12 billion. The market is valuing NASDAQ at only 7.28x EV/EBITDA. This valuation could be considered the cheapest compared to its two peers CME Group (NASDAQ: CME) and NYSE Euronext (NYSE: NYX). CME is trading at $58.50 per share, with a total market cap of $19.4 billion. The market is valuing CME at 10.57x EV/EBITDA. NYSE Euronext seems to be the most expensive, with 11.2x EV multiples. NYSE Euronext is trading at nearly $37.60 per share, with a total market cap of $9.13 billion. Among the three, CME seemed to be the most profitable, with a 58% operating margin. NASDAQ ranked second with a 25% operating margin, while the LTM operating margin of NYSE Euronext was 22%. NASDAQ is paying investors the lowest dividend yield at 1.7% while the dividend yields of CME and NYSE Euronext are 3.1% and 3.2%, respectively. If NASDAQ were trading at a comparable level to its peers, at around 10x EV/EBITDA, NASDAQ's enterprise value would be $8.75 billion. Thus, NASDAQ would be worth around $7.5 billion on the market, or around $45.50 per share.
Foolish Bottom Line
NASDAQ had a decent operating margin and employed a reasonable amount of leverage. In addition, it has kept returning cash to investors in the form of share repurchases for the past 5 years. The relative value was estimated to be around $45 per share, or a 45% premium to its current trading price. Indeed, NASDAQ seems to be a good investment for patient investors at its current price.

Some days, parenting feels like a breeze, days when the kids are behaving, a good, home-cooked meal is waiting in the oven, sporting events and friends fill our hours and bedtime is wrapped up with an awesome Bible story or book.
But then there are other days, days when the kids are fighting, Dad comes home late to a dinner of leftovers, and I feel overwhelmed with all the things I'm not doing right as a mom.
Sometimes those feelings can really get to me; there are so many do's and don'ts of parenting that it's easy to just give up and slip by doing "just enough."
I wonder how many of us do just that as parents? We just throw up our hands and sort of say, "I can't do it; it's too much!" Oh sure, we're still "there;" we're just not doing the things we know we're supposed to be doing because it seems a bit overwhelming.
So what are the things that nag at the back of your mind as far as your family life goes? What are those things you're not doing that you know you really should be? You know, the things you plan on getting to someday, but someday never really comes.
Maybe you know you should be feeding your kids a better diet with more fruits and veggies and less fast foods; maybe you should be taking the summer to practice reading and multiplication skills with your kids; or maybe it's something much more important like making sure you pass on your faith to your children.
That's the biggie for me. We often get started on a regular schedule of nightly Bible time, and then we start to get too busy and miss a night, then two or three, and the next thing you know, it's been weeks!
That's when it's time to push ourselves, climb back up on that horse and get to ridin' again in the right direction. It's hard to be consistent when everything around you is always changing - family life can be crazy - but it's not OK to give up and say, "Oh well, we tried."
That won't be enough for your kids. They expect more, and they deserve better. After all, they are your kids, and if you don't take the time to teach them and be with them, then who will?
Think of your own "ideal parent" and see where you measure up - or fall short. Maybe even make a list of things you should be doing with or for your kids, and then pick one thing and pursue it. Find a way to intentionally do whatever it is day by day. It could be that five-minute Bible story or introducing your kids to broccoli, but whatever it is, do it.
The way you'll feel at having accomplished that one thing in your child's life will be motivation enough for you to move on down to the next thing on your list. Hopefully, by the time your kids are grown, you'll be able to look back and say with honesty, "I did my best."

Arizona Research Agronomist Feaster Receives
Genetics Award
Dr. Carl V. Feaster, a retired research agronomist and breeder, is the recipient of the 2009 Cotton Genetics Research Award.
Dr. Feaster's career in cotton agricultural research spanned almost 40 years as a research agronomist, professor of Plant Sciences at the University of Arizona and research leader, Cotton Breeding and Production Unit of USDA's Agricultural Research Service in Phoenix, Ariz.
During his career in Phoenix, Dr. Feaster and his team developed and released six commercial varieties of American Pima cotton, and Feaster himself also made 225 germplasm releases. The Gossypium Barbadense collection is a valuable tool in breeding for molecular markers.
Major Impact On Pima Cotton
"It is not an exaggeration to say that had it not been for Dr. Feaster and his USDA cotton breeding program, there would not be an Extra-Long Staple (ELS) cotton industry in the United States today," says one of the nominators, Jesse Curlee, president of Phoenix-based Supima, an organization dedicated to promoting the use of American Pima cotton worldwide.
"The respect and admiration that Dr. Feaster has earned from the scientific community, as well as the entire cotton supply chain – producer, ginner, shipper/merchant and textile manufacturer, is an indication of his major contribution to this industry."
Curlee says each succeeding Pima variety released has shown improvements in both yield and fiber properties. He says average yields for American Pima cotton were in the range of 400 pounds per acre when Dr. Feaster began his Phoenix-based breeding program.
However, his last official release, Pima S-7, has ranged from 1,000 to 1,800 pounds per acre in the San Joaquin Valley of California. Also, production of American Pima cotton has increased from an average of 85,00 bales in the 1970s to a five-year average from 2004-2008 of 684,000 bales – a 700 percent increase.
Curlee says substantial quality improvements made with the releases of Pima S-5, S-6 and S-7 helped lead to a major and much larger market for American Pima cotton. Curlee notes that although Dr. Feaster can truly be referred to as the "Father of the U.S. Pima Cotton Breeding," the breeder's former and present colleagues say that the scientist's breeding efforts or germplasm releases have contributed to quality improvements in upland cottons as well, including Acala varieties in California.
Strong Influence On Western Industry
Another nominator, Earl Williams, president and CEO of the California Cotton Ginners and Growers Association, also points out Dr. Feaster's key role in bringing Pima cottons forward as a very important part of the Western cotton industry.
"Pima cotton has become a large part of California's cotton industry with over 90 percent of the U.S. Pima production coming from California," Williams says.
Dr. Feaster, who earned a B.S. in Agricultural Education from Purdue, and his M.A. (Field Crops) and Ph.D. (Plant Breeding) from the University of Missouri, worked as a USDA breeder in Missouri, Kentucky and Maryland before arriving in Phoenix in 1956 as a USDA research agronomist.
In 1972, he became research leader of USDA's Cotton Breeding and Production Unit in Phoenix and a professor in the University of Arizona's Plant Sciences Department – positions he held until his 1994 retirement. He also produced or collaborated on 72 publications.
Major Global Recognition
Among Dr. Feaster's awards are the Norman E. Borlaug award from the World Farm Foundation in 1974, the University of Arizona Centennial Medallion award in 1976 and the Arizona Cotton Growers Association's Outstanding Achievement Award in 1979. U.S. commercial cotton breeders have presented the Cotton Genetics Research Award for more than 40 years to a scientist for outstanding research in cotton genetics.

Of of all the venues where art and design was presented during DesignMarch, Skúrinn (The Shed) impressed me the most. This was probably my most memorable visit (apart from The Long Moment photographic exhibition at The Nordic House, see below). I was so impressed with Skúrinn that I left only to return back with two friends without telling them where we were going or what to expect. They were equally impressed and surprised to find this unusual showroom, planted between two houses in one of the nicest residential area in Reykjavik, where apartments usually come with quite a hefty price tag. Not only that, in this rusty, crooked and tiny, tiny shed, barely spacious enough to fit the artist representing his work there plus one visitor at a time, I took probably the most photographs. I just kept seeing images all over the place and still feel I left without taking enough!
Erling Johannesson is a goldsmith and an actor/director who has worked in theaters, in movies and on TV and the radio, acting and directing plays on RÚV, The Icelandic National Broadcasting Service. During my first visit to Skúrinn, while I was chatting away to Erling, a small radio, perched up on a shelf, was tuned to RÚV, where a play was being broadcast, humming in the background while we chatted, which I thought was a rather perfect timing.
Erling´s jewelry collection which I loved, consists of silver jewelry, largely inspired by fish skeletons, which seem to be a source of inspiration to more Icelandic designers these days, such as Kría, another collection of jewelry which I´ve blogged about before and also really like, and product designer Róshildur Jónsdóttir, who has created Something Fishy, a fishbone model-making kit.
Unfortunately, not everyone can see the beauty in things, people or places that are perhaps not 100% perfect, and so, after repeated complaints from someone living close to Skúrinn, it was, as Erling had told me would happen, transported by truck, on to new adventures almost the minute after DesignMarch was officially over. I might follow up on that story because I know for a fact that one of Skúrinn´s future role in a new destination spot is rather interesting to say the least. Stay tuned!
Sorry for the blurry image but I just HAD to include the "dining room" area of Skúrinn.
