Using RCS version control to manage simple scripts
The Revision Control System (RCS) provides simple, reliable version control without the complexity of bigger systems like Subversion or CVS.
If you are the kind of Linux user with a collection of homegrown scripts, such as Perl snippets for downloading web comics or Shell scripts for backing up files, you may have considered adopting some form of version management tracking. For a single user, it doesn't always make sense to use one of the popular, but complex, tools, such as CVS [2] or Subversion [3]. If you're looking for a simpler level of version control, you may want to try the Revision Control System (RCS). RCS is a well tested and stable tool with excellent support. If your distribution does not come with RCS, you can either download it from the GNU project homepage [1], or get it direct from the official RCS homepage [4]. The INSTALL and INSTALL.RCS files from the unpacked tarball, rcs-5.7.tar.Z, provide notes for installing from the source files.

I have been a patient of Baylor Center for Pain mgt since 2011 (formerly Pinacle pain mgt of dallas). I had one visit with Dr brian Flanagan who never put a finger on me to check my ROM or pain level using oswestry scales prior to scheduling a series of epidural steroid injections. The injections were done at 3 different facilities, and I never had any relief from the pain. My injury is not facet, disc or joint pain, and the theory was that most likely these would not have any relief anyhow. After the initial "exam" with Dr Flanagan, he never physically visited with me again. Each month I visited with his FNP Sarah. Although I did like her, she basically had my prescription completed and waiting on me when I walked in the exam room. I knew that the ESI series is typically 3, so I never really questioned that. Never did anyone ever examine me nor did they change or offer to change medications or treatments until all 3 ESI's were complete. Also, each time I went in, my prescription, although completed by Sarah, was signed by Dr Konen or Dr Flanagan. (I still have never even seen Konen) A year later, and there was still no change in my treatment, and pain was increasing. A family member and myself demanded to speak to Dr Flanagan. Again he didn't do any examination, only decided I needed a spinal stimulator. Again, I comply. After surgery to do the test implant, it was found that the leads were not placed in the proper region of my spine. I was sent home any way and was told that if it didn't eventually help me, to call Sarah and have her remove it. Well, obviously it didn't help. I called the manuf. Rep, scott and informed him of my dilemma. Long story short, I have to date had 4 ESI's, 2 trial neuro stimulators,(that are out of network and you have no clue till you get the bill from medtron. They don't even file the claim. They assume you owe whatever the insurance in network percentage is, not paying attention to the fee schedule you would actually be paying against if in fact they were in network therefore it never gets applied to your yearly accumulations at the insurance company-deductible, out of pocket, etc.), 2 lab test's via urinalysis that was charged to my insurance for $3700.00 each one, for drug compliance testing (that by the way is out of network with all insurance companies-no worries because they only charge us in network fees up to $250 out of pocket per the office manager). So since I signed the form in the hallway saying I realized that the lab company is solely owned by the doctors in this practice, I am liable for the charges (which btw end up being almost $250 my part after my insurance paid). I have had heated discussions with my physician regarding all of the treatments or should I say non treatments since literally nothing is working. I have gone without pain medication because the FNP said she would call in something if the stimulator didn't work, only to find that the doctor overrode her decision and decided I needed to come in for an actual appointment, even though I was in their office, they had nothing available. I have gone round and round with Dr Flanagan and now I have finally changed to someone else within the same practice. This doctor is a female and I love her so far. She took time to visit with me, went over everything in the past 2 years and changed medications that finally helped me. Due to my diagnosis there is no real fix for my problem. I was told that I am just going to have to be made comfortable as they can. So as my body becomes accustom to the medication, I will need to change to something else. I want to say that the office staff, may be "ethnic" as another patient stated on their rip off report, but that has absolutely NOTHING to do with their abilities to perform. I LOVE the staff. Especially, the front office girls. They are a product of their environment, folks need to realize this. They have to feed their families too, and they only tell you what they are told to say from their bosses, the doctors. So if you have a beef with one of them, remember that information. However, Sabre and the others have only been professional with me, never anything less. I have come to realize that Konen and Flanagan have their hands in several pots. Kickbacks if you may, from the neuro-stimulators, (Dr Flanagan and Scott are buddies) and then with the lab they require you to have compliance testing thru.

These 2 male doctors could care less about their patients,,, even though they smile and act like they are there to care for you as a REAL caring doctor would... They both make alot of money doing pain injections under flouroscopy and will even lie to the patient esp when they get spinal fluid back and end up giving you a mechanical meningitis,,,, and have other doctors that cover it up for them like it never happened...I would NOT let them treat my dog,, let alone another human being.....Take my word,, seek care somewhere else...
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

What are you hoping won't be announced at the WWDC?
With the conference only a week away, I started reading about all of the rumors that might be announced. The one that I am hoping they will NOT announce is that they are retiring the 30 pin dock. I have so many cords and accessories that use it, I would hate to see it go away.
What are your thoughts?
3 Answers answer
With regard to OS X, I'm really hoping to not hear the phrase "just like in iOS." I'm all for making the integration of iDevices and computers as seamless as possible, but things like Launcher (and other iOS-type "improvements") are for children. I'm a big boy. I have big boy workflows. Please stop dumbing down my operating system.
Heck no to the bye-bye 30 pin dock too. At least they should make some kind of "adaptor" from mini to 30 pin at least to avoid angry mobs.
I'm hoping they're announcing iPhones, I see theres a hype for it already. As always. It's time time of the year again.
What I'm not hoping are new iPads as well. I just got one, and if they're releasing new ones.. I'll probably be angered.
I'm kind of hoping for new iPhones as well. I've been hanging on to my 3gs, purchased shortly after it first came out, for over 2 1/2 years, waiting for a good reason to upgrade.

Rag & Bone jeans
The Black Rebel by Rag & Bone
It's safe to say that distressed washes and a high waisted cut are two of the biggest things right now. So there is no surprise to see the team at Rag & Bone take them on to create a flawless style that just hit stores.
With their new Black Rebel, they have taken the black wash to a new territory of worn and distressed for the brand. Though heavier detailed than what we usually see, the new style still carries the soul of the brand along with continuing the progression of what we have been seeing in the past. I am interested in seeing how far they will be taking distressing next. How many of you are excited to try these jeans out? Click here to purchase these jeans from Neiman Marcus.
The Surfer Repair by Rag & Bone
Rag & Bone is definitely one to look at when it comes to distressed styles. The team just knows how to take a modern approach to vintage inspirations and keep the vibe of their jeans feeling organic.
With their new Surfer Repair wash, the jeans are just as the name says. The wash feels as though you have been trekking through the coastal sands in your favorite jeans and building a story along the way. They have tears of what would be from climbing the rocks and patches underneath to give off the vibe as though you are just not ready to part with them just yet. They are truly a well thought out pair that I can see becoming just another popular jean by the label. You can click here to purchase these jeans from Intermix and the Rag & Bone website.
Jennifer Lopez in Rag & Bone Skinny Jeans
Jennifer Lopez was seen arriving at Madeo in Los Angeles, California a couple of weeks ago. She looked very casual, yet put together at the same time.
Jennifer wore a pair of Rag & Bone skinny jeans which she tucked into boots and paired with a cropped green sweater. I'm a huge fan of cropped sweaters and skinny jeans, I think this combination is great. Buy Rag & Bone online at Shopbop.com.

Kaley Cuoco in Double Denim – MOTHER Denim and Rag & Bone
Kaley Cuoco was caught on her way out of the Andy LeCompte Salon in Los Angeles, California. The actress kept warm in a double denim look with a MOTHER Denim Cabin Fever Jacket in Always Look Twice and a pair of Rag & Bone Skinny Jeans in Rock w/ Holes and some Givenchy sandals.
The sherpa on this jacket is super soft when I felt it. I also find the style to be very fresh. We usually see the sherpa lining on the inside and seeing it reversed like this style here gives it almost a bohemian vibe that I quite like. What do you think on the jacket? You can click here to purchase MOTHER and here for her jeans.

Stayed here for one night on our arrival in Tokyo. Booked at last minute due to a change in travel plans. Found hotel and left luggage in reception as we had a few hours before checkin. On return checked in smoothly. First experience of a Japanese hotel room (twin) and pleasantly surprised as there was adequate room for luggage and both of us to move around. As mentioned before location isn't the most exciting but 7-11 downstairs plus restaurants (including Dennys ) and other convenience stores nearby. Short walk to Asakusabashi which has more of both if required. Breakfast next morning had a good selection of both Japanese and Western foods (I tried the eggs and they were fine) including a wide selection of rice triangles. Clean, quiet and convenient – what more can you ask for!

To investigate the association between patient safety culture (PSC) and the incidence and reporting rate of medical errors by Israeli nurses.
Self-administered structured questionnaires were distributed to a convenience sample of 247 registered nurses enrolled in training programs at Tel Aviv University (response rate = 91%).
The questionnaire's three sections examined the incidence of medication mistakes in clinical practice, the reporting rate for these errors, and the participants' views and perceptions of the safety culture in their workplace at three levels (organizational, departmental, and individual performance). Pearson correlation coefficients, t tests, and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data.
Most nurses encountered medical errors from a daily to a weekly basis. Six percent of the sample never reported their own errors, while half reported their own errors "rarely or sometimes." The level of PSC was positively and significantly correlated with the error reporting rate. PSC, place of birth, error incidence, and not having an academic nursing degree were significant predictors of error reporting, together explaining 28% of variance.
This study confirms the influence of an organizational safety climate on readiness to report errors. Senior healthcare executives and managers can make a major impact on safety culture development by creating and promoting a vision and strategy for quality and safety and fostering their employees' motivation to implement improvement programs at the departmental and individual level.
Clinical Relevance
A positive, carefully designed organizational safety culture can encourage error reporting by staff and so improve patient safety.

FCC does it again, leaks new Archos generation
Another year, another Generation of Archos tablets is leaked exclusively through blurry pictures on the FCC leaking machine. Same happened with G5 in 2007, G7 in 2009, Home Tablet in 2010, G8 in 2010 (2). Here's the Archos G10 XS (all FCC documents):
Rumored or confirmed:
TI OMAP4470 ARM Cortex-A9 processor
New Proprietary Dock for the included Keyboard Dock (maybe something else too)
Kick-stand (called Tablet Stand) is on the Keyboard Dock
Keyboard doubles as thin screen protector and seems to use a new twist function (with or without magnets) to attach and detach from the tablet.
Micro-SD, Mini-HDMI, Micro-USB (dunno if doubles as host)
Is there some kind of conspiracy? Why does the US FCC always leak Archos new devices before Archos decides to unveil those products to the press officially?
Consider some reasons why Archos Generation 10 can be very attractive to massive audiences:
- Price can start $299 for 10.1" with the included Keyboard Dock.
- That can be $200 to $300 cheaper than Microsoft Surface.
- No technical reason that Archos G10 can't also dual-boot into Chrome OS for ARM and even triple-boot into Windows 8 for ARM, Windows RT, if Microsoft simply allows Archos have a triple-boot on it (give the option to the consumer to pay for the Windows RT licence if they want to be able to triple-boot into it).
- This at $299 can be a very attractive ARM Powered Laptop/Tablet combo. Why not triple-boot Ubuntu, or Archos pick up the phone and talk with Canonical to ship it with the Ubuntu on Android app.
- This is the first TI OMAP4470 Tablet that I hear leaked and talked about. Texas Instruments dominated the market by the end of 2011, they can do it again and Archos has a long relationship with TI always shipping TI's latest most advanced processors early. Expect a wide range of smartphones and tablets other than Archos to also use OMAP4470 before the end of the year, that helps provide a foundation for good software support, such as Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean using the OMAP4460 Powered Samsung Galaxy Nexus as the reference design. That makes it easier for Archos to always stay up to date on the latest version of Android.
- OMAP4470 uses the SGX544 GPU, one of the most powerful GPUs on the market yet.
- OMAP4470 increases memory bandwidth further from OMAP4460, memory bandwidth is one of the most important functions of a powerful ARM Powered device, often more so than Ghz, number of cores and other.
- Consider this ARM Powered Laptop/Tablet combo can weight less than 500 grams. When productivity proves itself sublime on Android, Ubuntu on Android, Chrome OS dual-boot and an eventual Windows RT triple-boot, this form factor can prove itself to be one of the most demanded by consumers.

EU makes sure full Chrome browser is on Windows RT at launch
Reuters reports that the European Union antitrust regulators are right now making sure Windows RT ships with the Chrome Browser, Firefox, Opera and more.
the investigation will focus on charges that Microsoft allows only its own Internet Explorer browser to be installed on devices running Windows 8 on Windows RT tablets with British chipmaker ARM's chips.
The way I see it, the ARM Powered Windows RT Laptops and Tablets to be released starting October 26th should be able to run a full Chrome bowser, run most x86 applications through Remote Desktop software like Teradici PCoIP, full Microsoft Office and then of course all Metro apps which basically is the new touch-compatible applications platform for Microsoft's Windows 8 RT Tablet/Laptop hybrid system.
In theory as HTML5 improves to support full HD and 4K video editing through the cloud, as web based photo editing apps are available, using the grid to render media files is going to be much more desirable than rendering anything on the local hardware anyway. Making thus Windows RT suitable for advanced users just as well as beginners who them really don't care about x86 backwards compatibility.

Forecasting German GDP using alternative factor models based on large datasets
This paper discusses the forecasting performance of alternative factor models based on a large panel of quarterly time series for the german economy. One model extracts factors by static principals components analysis, the other is based on dynamic principal components obtained using frequency domain methods. The third model is based on subspace algorithm for state space models. Out-of-sample forecasts show that the prediction errors of the factor models are generally smaller than the errors of simple autoregressive benchmark models. Among the factors models, either the dynamic principal component model or the subspace factor model rank highest in terms of forecast accuracy in most cases. However, neither of the dynamic factor models can provide better forecasts than the static model over all forecast horizons and different specifications of the simulation design. Therefore, the application of the dynamic factor models seems to provide only small forecasting improvements over the static factor model for forecasting German GDP.

The home side was inconsistent during the opening series of
national futsal league but showed glimpses of real potential.
Futsal South arguably scored the goal of the series and
finished the weekend in second place with three wins, a draw
and one defeat.
All and all, a very good weekend but the defeat was not
terribly memorable, unless you are from Auckland.
The defending champion crushed the local team 7-1 in a
dominant performance reminiscent of some of its one-sided
matches last year which saw it sweep the title.
Perhaps Auckland was still stinging from a 3-1 loss to
Northern Futsal in its opening round.
Futsal South, though, rebounded from the disappointing effort
to hold Northern to a 2-2 draw and beat Mainland Futsal 3-1
and Central Futsal Manawatu 2-1.
The team also had a 3-1 win against Waikato-Bay of Plenty
Futsal in its opening game.
''They were down 3-0 against Auckland in the first half and
just sort of put their heads down, which was a bit of a
shame,'' New Zealand Futsal development manager Dave Payne
''But when they played Mainland, they were a completely
different team. They really took it to Mainland and Mainland
had no answer. That was a convincing win and they got another
win against Central and scored one of the goals of the
Michael Sannum displayed some nifty skills, flicking a back
heel through to Brazilian Carlos Herrmann, who blasted the
ball into the back of the net.
Northern Futsal was the only team to go through undefeated
but is in third place, courtesy of three draws to go with its
two promising wins. Mainland has three wins but also had two
defeats and props up fourth place in the eight-team league.
The league is being held over three series. Auckland will
host the next in February and it wraps up in Wellington in

It's been a couple days that I'm trying to figure why I can't have my menu and ThemeFront page upadted in the language I pick. I have went over all blogs relative to that topic but can't find anything wrong in my setup. The only point that I have not seen on any blog is if anybody is using Polylang with a WordPress connected to a PostgreSql database. I'm wondering if this is not my main problem.
I did follow all the steps, I verified the following:
- Theme Used "Responsive" which is compatible with Polylang. Did test with twentytwelve and it does the same.
- Header.php have
<?php wp_nav_menu(array('container' => 'div',
'container_class' => 'main-nav',
'fallback_cb' => 'responsive_fallback_menu',
'theme_location' => 'header-menu')); ?>
- I did set the slug with no suffix for default (en) and fr for french for every pages and posts, and set permalink and set it at custom structure /%postname%/
- I can't see any menu under Settings->languages-> so I tried to use an xml file to call the Hearder menu but does not show up
- I do see a "Responsive/Feature_content" entry in Settings->languages-> but it is strictly applied to the english version as for my french it goes to Wp_front_page instead.
Of course If I press on English or french (depending on what I set as default) the language never switch on the menu bar!!!
Here my link :http://rivalsolutions.com/indexTest.php/
Anybody can help ??? can I write manual entries in the db or a php code that do a workaround as I already lost a week at trying to figure it out!
Big thanks

One big exception is Cindi Luv - cute, pleasingly plump (one could stare at her booty all day) and one helluva natural performer. Her action with buffed partner Byron is hot and heavy.

What are the side effects of the yellow fever vaccine?
The yellow fever vaccine can have rare but serious adverse side effects. It is generally administered in designated vaccination centers. Health-care providers need to consider the individual's underlying health, their risk of exposure to yellow fever, and the contraindications to vaccine administration before recommending it. To minimize the risk of serious adverse events, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides the following recommendations:
Contraindications (conditions in which vaccine should not be given)
- Allergy to vaccine component
- Age <6 months
- Symptomatic HIV infection or CD4+ T-lymphocytes <200/mm3 (<15% of total in children aged <6 years)
- Thymus disorder associated with abnormal immune function
- Primary immunodeficiencies
- Malignant neoplasms
- Transplantation
- Immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory therapies
Precautions (conditions for which the risks of the vaccine and the disease should be carefully considered)
- Age 6-8 months
- Age ≥60 years
- Asymptomatic HIV infection and CD4+ T-lymphocytes 200 to 499/mm3 (15%-24% of total in children aged <6 years)
- Pregnancy
- Breastfeeding
Individuals who do experience side effects from the yellow fever vaccine will generally experience mild symptoms, including low-grade fever, muscle aches, and headache. However, in rare cases, serious adverse events from the yellow fever vaccine can occur including life-threatening anaphylactic reactions, yellow fever vaccine-associated neurologic disease (a condition affecting the nervous system), and yellow fever vaccine-associated viscerotropic disease (a condition affecting the internal organs).

Even as the Federal Reserve holds short-term interest rates near zero for the fourth year in a row, there are plenty of places to find decent income in the U.S. stock and bond markets. You just have to know where to look.
We found eight groups with average payouts ranging as high as 6% without the risk that often comes with reaching for yield. They include municipal bonds, with yields between 1% and 3%; utilities and real-estate investment trusts, at 4%; convertible securities, at 3%; high-dividend stocks, at 3% to 4%; master limited partnerships and junk bonds, at 6%, and preferred shares, at 5% to 6%. There are higher-yielding securities in all of these categories, including mortgage REITs and junk bonds that carry 10%-plus rates, but the rewards here may not be worth the risk.
What looks best for 2013? Given the risks in bonds at historically low-yield levels, it may be best to stick with blue-chip stocks, electric utilities, MLPs, and to a lesser extent, REITs.
In the bond market, junk still looks appealing, even as the average yield fell to 6% from about 20% at the start of 2009, when Barron's highlighted the market's appeal in a cover story. Junk may be the best house in a dangerous neighborhood.
Peter Hoey for Barron's
The tax legislation passed last week favors equity sources of income, which will be taxed at a top rate of 20%, plus a 3.8% Medicare surcharge. Most taxpayers, including couples earning less than $250,000, will still pay a top dividend rate of 15%. The top rate for ordinary income rises to 39.6% from 35% for couples earning more than $450,000. That rate also applies to interest income on taxable bonds, as well as distributions from master limited partnerships and REITs. It should be noted that investors can often defer taxes on MLP distributions.
It's hard to make a case for two of the lowest-yielding parts of the bond market -- Treasuries and mortgage securities -- because yields are in the 1% to 3% area, and both sectors could be hit hard if rates rise. Perhaps the best that can be said for Treasuries is that they're one of the few asset classes that are negatively correlated with stocks, meaning they tend to appreciate when stocks fall, and thus offer a hedge against a stock-market downdraft.
BlackRock favors dividend-paying stocks and junk bonds, while warning about the danger in Treasuries. "We believe dividend stocks look attractive," wrote BlackRock chief investment strategist Russ Koesterich last week. "With current payout ratios near historic lows and balance sheets quite strong, companies have ample ability to raise dividend payments to compensate investors for any changes in tax treatment." As for Treasuries, he wrote that interest-rate risk is high, as underscored last week when prices fell 4% as stocks rallied.
Here is an overview of the eight income sectors in order of their appeal.
High-Dividend Stocks
As more companies get serious about dividends, it's possible to put together an increasingly diversified portfolio of stocks yielding 3% to 4%. The obvious appeal of stocks versus bonds is that investors can benefit from rising dividends over time. Many big companies now have dividends that exceed their bond yields.

Electric utilities were the only loser in 2012 among the major sectors of the S&P 500, with a 2.9% drop -- and a 1% return after dividends. This year could be better because utility dividends look appealing at 4%-plus in much of the industry.
Major utilities trade at an average of 14 times projected 2013 profits, compared with about 13 times for the faster-growing S&P 500. Yet utility earnings are relatively predictable, in the low- to mid-single digits each year.

The group started the year strong, as the benchmark Alerian MLP index, which is heavy in energy pipelines, rose 4% over the first two sessions of 2013. More gains could follow after a tough 2012, when the AMZ fell 1% and returned 4.8%, including distributions. Reflecting strong historical returns in the sector, 2012 marked the only year in the past 13 in which MLPs trailed the S&P 500 in total return.
Credit Suisse analyst John Edwards has been bullish, pointing out that the yield on the AMZ index, now 6.5%, looks appealing relative to most other income securities. While weak prices for natural-gas liquids have hurt some MLPs, much of the sector that is involved in domestic energy transportation has experienced little or no impact. Growth in distributions industrywide is expected to average about 7% this year.

Junk Bonds
Wall Street generally expects subdued returns of about 7% this year after another strong year in 2012, when junk returned more than 15%. The challenge is that yields are low, at 6%, and prices are high, averaging about 105% of par value. This limits upside because most issues can be redeemed at par prior to maturity.
While many junk investors are reaching for yield in order to get higher returns, it may be best to play it conservatively and avoid debt-laden companies like Caesars Entertainment czr -0.7052186177715092% Caesars Entertainment Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD7.04 -0.05 -0.7052186177715092% /Date(1469739600387-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 392870 AFTER HOURS USD7.04 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1201 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 1041606120.59204 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 138455 More quote details and news » (CZR) and Clear Channel Communications (CCMO).
J. Matthew Philo, manager of the Mainstay High-Yield Corporate fund (MHYIX), generally is steering clear of lower-rated credits in favor of better situations. "This is a tale of two markets," he says. "The larger part of the market is very resilient with strong asset coverage and free cash flow."
Thanks to the wide disparity in the individual returns of junk debt, management matters, arguing for open- or closed-end funds rather than ETFs like the SPDR Barclays High Yield Bond jnk -0.47013274336283184% SPDR Barclays High Yield Bond ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 35.99 -0.17 -0.47013274336283184% /Date(1469739600062-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 7348505 AFTER HOURS 35.99 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 6805 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 6.232464573492637% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (JNK) and iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate hyg -0.42011903372622245% iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 85.33 -0.36 -0.42011903372622245% /Date(1469739600075-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 17376336 AFTER HOURS 85.4 0.0700000000000074 0.08203445447087777% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 591783 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 5.579683581389898% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (HYG), which track broad indexes.
Convertible Bonds
Convertibles are an overlooked asset class because of limited issuance of new bonds and complexity, including securities that automatically convert into equity. Less than $25 billion of converts have been issued in each of the past two years because most corporate treasurers can offer low-rate "straight" debt without giving investors an equity kicker.
"There are some good opportunities," says David King, manager of the Columbia Convertible Securities fund (PACIX). He's partial to a Chesapeake Energy 5¾% convertible preferred (CHKVZ), which recently traded at about $900, below its $1,000 face value, for a 6.4% current yield. The Chesapeake convert offers a lower-risk way to play a revival in natural-gas prices than the company's common shares. King also is partial to a 2⅞% convert from biotech company Dendreon (DNDN), recently trading below 75 cents on the dollar and a 13% yield to maturity in 2016. Dendreon developed a novel treatment for advanced prostate cancer that has had disappointing revenues. The company isn't far from cash-flow break-even and could be a takeover target.
There are many open-end and closed-end convertible funds, plus a sizable ETF, the SPDR Barclays Convertible Securities cwb 0.15371102327624067% SPDR Barclays Convertible Securities ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 45.61 0.07 0.15371102327624067% /Date(1469739600061-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 509323 AFTER HOURS 45.61 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 4.038272308704231% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (CWB).
After another strong year in which the sector returned 18%, investors may want to tread cautiously because REIT valuations aren't cheap in absolute terms or in relation to the S&P 500 index.
But REITs now trade for about 16 times 2013 funds from operations, a cash-flow measure favored by the industry. That compares with a multiple of 13 for the S&P 500. REITs look even more expensive at about 20 times adjusted funds from operations, a more conservative calculation of cash flow than FFO that subtracts certain recurring expenses like office-leasing costs.
REITs, now yielding an average of 3.6%, still look good relative to Treasuries. Industry fundamentals are favorable amid higher rents and limited new construction, while financing costs are low. "REITs are trading below private-market values, and they remain a haven for people concerned about inflation. Real estate is a hard asset," says Alex Goldfarb, an analyst at Sandler O'Neill.

Municipal Bonds
With yields on top-grade munis similar to those on Treasuries, the relative appeal of the $3.7 trillion market is good, but absolute yield levels in the 1%-to-3% range aren't great with inflation running at about 2%.
Munis got a break when the congressional budget deal lifted top tax rates on the highest earners and thus heightened the appeal of tax-free income. To top it off, legislators chose not to tax the muni-bond interest of the highest earners, as some had feared.
That helped produce a rally on Wednesday, as long-term munis gained about 1% even as long-term Treasuries declined 1%. "While we are unlikely to see significant capital appreciation in municipal bonds, their after-tax yields are attractive, and munis remain a solid source of income," wrote BlackRock strategist Koesterich.
The idea of taxing muni-bond interest is dormant but not dead. If enacted, such a tax on munis likely would cut their demand, potentially lifting rates as much as half a percentage point and crunching long-term bonds. Many state and local governments face a large and festering pension problem. Given the risks, muni buyers might want to avoid long-term issues and stick with a fund like the Vanguard Intermediate Term Tax-Exempt fund (VWITX), which has low fees. Many investors favor individual bonds, but the downside is limited liquidity if holders ever need to sell.
Preferred Stock
With banks solidly profitable and the bond market strong, the preferred market has rallied sharply since the financial crisis, dropping yields on most bank issues to less than 6% from double-digit levels during 2009. Barron's has written favorably on preferred several times in the past four years.
Issuance has surged as banks have taken advantage of lower rates to lock in long-term equity financing. Issuance totaled about $33 billion in 2012, including several big retail-oriented deals priced at $25 a share from JPMorgan jpm -0.3575314783149386% JPMorgan Chase & Co.

While dividends look safe and remain tax advantaged, most preferreds don't look attractive thanks to their interest-rate risk.
The typical $25 retail preferred usually has a bad combination of a perpetual maturity and a five-year redemption feature at the issuer's option. "The risk-reward profile of these securities does not appear attractive; their upside is capped by the call option, but they could sell off significantly in a rising rate environment," wrote Barclays credit analyst Shobhit Gupta in a recent report.
Two exceptions are unusual preferreds from Wells Fargo and Bank of America that yield more than their regular issues and effectively aren't callable unless there is an enormous rise in common-stock prices. The Wells Fargo Series L has a 7.5% dividend rate and a price of $1,225, way above its face value of $1,000. It yields 6.09%, almost a full point above the bank's other preferreds. Bank of America's 7.25% Series L trades at $1,135 and yields 6.34%. Columbia's King notes that if the banks want to redeem them, they likely will have to pay investors a premium above the current price.
