Donald Francis Shula and his jaw, long a symbol of the chiseled approach to his career that produced a record 347 victories, became a part of NFL history Saturday when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame, just 50 miles southwest of Grand River, where he was born.``The jaw is prominently featured in the bust,'' Shula said, ``and that's the way it should be. When you get away from all the numbers, the jaw is the one thing people associate with me. I really like the bust.''
The bust, sculpted by Blair Buswell of Provo, Utah, was as much a hit with Shula as he was with the overflow crowd gathered outside the Hall of Fame.
Wellington Mara, the president and co-chief executive officer of the Giants; Mike Webster, the 17-year center of the Steelers and Chiefs; and Mike Haynes, the 14-year cornerback of the Patriots and Raiders, were also inducted.
``He has been described, in part, because of his jutting jaw as the NFL's national monument,'' said Shula's son, Michael, a co-presenter with his brother, David, a first in Hall of Fame history.
Shula is talked about in ``monumental'' terms because of his accomplishments during his 33-year career, averaging 10.5 wins, with a win percentage of .665. He had the only unbeaten team in professional history - the 17-0 Dolphins of 1972 - went to a record six Super Bowls and won two.
Despite those accomplishments, there are those who suggest that Shula isn't the game's greatest coach.
``He's the all-time winningest coach and the second-greatest coach in NFL history,'' Webster said, ``and the greatest thing about it is he gave us the greatest coach in NFL history.'' Webster meant former Shula assistant, Chuck Noll, who won four Super Bowls with Pittsburgh.
Shula's reply to the question: ``How do you judge? I thought that's why they kept stats, batting averages and winning percentages.''
His friends rely on the numbers but don't dismiss Shula's 2-4 Super Bowl record. ``Nobody would like to have won more Super Bowls,'' said Dolphins' owner H. Wayne Huizenga, ``but the other numbers that he compiled far outshadow that one. His record speaks for itself.''
Bill Arnsparger, his defensive coordinator with the Dolphins in the 1970s, said Shula's early success put him in a spot few coaches are good enough to face.
``He was competing against himself,'' Arnsparger said. ``It happened to George [Seifert) of the 49ers most recently, but it doesn't happen often. Unless you win the Super Bowl every season, you don't meet the demands of the organization or the fans.''
As Haynes pointed out, ``the better I got, the higher the standard moved,'' and it was no different for Shula. He was expected to be the best every year.
Any time there is an induction such as Shula, the question surfaces as to how anyone could build such a record so far beyond anyone else with longevity and consistency unlikely to be matched in the NFL.
``The climate would be tough,'' Shula said. ``There were 11 coaching changes this year. If that continues to happen, there's nobody who is going to hang around as long as I did. You have to win early and often to establish enough of a reputation to stick around until you have one losing season.''
Shula's induction was a clinic in how his record was built. Preparation just like he used in a game plan. David covered the career and commitment. Michael covered Shula's personal life, and Shula took the record and the route. Nothing flashy, revealing or emotional, the same approach that won 347 games.
``It did sound that way,'' Shula's wife, Mary Anne said, ``but I know they didn't talk about this. David and Michael talked, but Don just asked them to do it.''
David talked about his father's resiliency from losses to the Browns (27-0 in the 1964 NFL championship game); 16-7 to the Jets in Super Bowl III; and 24-3 to the Cowboys in Super Bowl VI and how he rebounded.
Then Michael spoke of the tender side, ``but you have to dig a little to find it.'' He included both wives, eight children and eight grandchildren.
Together, David and Michael said, ``Larry Csonka said it best for all of us. Some days we love to love him. Some days we love to hate him, but we always, always love him.''
Shula said how it was only ``50 miles from Grand River to Canton, and it took me 67 years to travel to that distance.''
He told of how he turned a teaching job at Canton-Lincoln High School for $3,750 to reach ``for the moon.''
He proceeded through his coaching years, the 32-2 record of 1972 and 1973, including wins in Super Bowls VII and VIII as the primary highlight; the 1968 loss to the Jets in Super Bowl III, 16-7, as his major disappointment.
He included everyone from grade school and high school coaches to NFL assistants who had helped him. He talked about his first wife, Dorothy, who died of breast cancer in 1991 and how she supported him just like Mary Anne.
``You know it's only 50 miles, but I've relished every moment of the longer route,'' Shula said. And that's the reason he was inducted, jaw and all. Shula was excited because he thinks he is where his record put him.
``I've never seem him happier or more relaxed,'' said his brother, Jim. ``He's known where he wanted to go for a long time and now he's there.''

Of the Jew of Malta there is no earlier edition than the 4to. of 1633, which was published under the auspices of the well-known dramatist Thomas Heywood. The title is:—The Famous Tragedy of the Rich Iew of Malta. As it was playd before the King and Queene, in His Majesties Theatre at White-Hall, by her Majesties Servants at the Cock-pit. Written by Christopher Marlo. London: Printed by I. B. for Nicholas Vavasour, and are to be sold at his Shop in the Inner-Temple, neere the Church. 1633. No later 4to, appeared.
This play, composed by so worthy an author as Mr. Marlowe, and the part of the Jew presented by so unimitable an actor as Mr. Alleyn, being in this later age commended to the stage; as I ushered it unto the Court, and presented it to the Cock-pit, with these prologues and epilogues here inserted, so now being newly brought to the press, I was loth it should be published without the ornament of an Epistle; making choice of you unto whom to devote it; than whom (of all those gentlemen and acquaintance, within the compass of my long knowledge) there is none more able to tax ignorance, or attribute right to merit. Sir, you have been pleased to grace some of mine own works with your courteous patronage;l I hope this will not be the worse accepted, because commended by me; over whom, none can claim more power or privilege than yourself. I had no better a new-year's gift to present you with; receive it therefore as a continuance of that inviolable obligement, by which, he rests still engaged; who as he ever hath, shall always remain,

Edward II. was entered in the Stationers' Books 6th July 1593. In the Dyce Library at South Kensington there is a 4to. with a MS. title-page (in a hand of the late seventeenth century) dated 1593. Without doubt the date 1593 is a copyist's mistake for 1598. In the first leaf, which is in MS., there are a few textual differences, due to the copyist's carelessness; but the printed matter throughout (A. 3—K. 2) exhibits the text of ed. 1598.
In 1876 an edition of Edward II. in 8vo., dated 1594, was discovered in the library at Cassel. The title is:—The troublesome raigne and lamentable death of Edward the second, King of England: with the tragicall fall of proud Mortimer. As it was sundri times publiquely acted in the honourable citie of London, by the right honourable the Earl of Pembroke his servants. Written by Chri. Marlow Gent. Imprinted at London for William fones, dwelling neare Holborne conduit at the Signe of the Gunne, 1594.
The title of the 4to. of 1598 runs as follows:—The troublesome The troublesome raigne and lamentable death of Edward the second, King of England, with the tragicall fall of proud Mortimer. And also the life and death of Pers Gaueston, the great Earle of Cornewall, and mightly favorite of king Edward the second, as it was publiquely acted by the right honorable the Earle of Pembrooke his seruauntes. Written by Chri. Marlow Gent. Imprinted at London by Richard Bradocke, for William fones, dwelling neere Holbourne conduit, at the signe of the Gunne, 1598.
Another edition (in 4to,) appeared in 1612, with the following title:—The troublesome raigne and lamentable death of Edward the second, King of England: with the tragicall fall of proud Mortimer. And also the life and death of Pers Gaueston, the great Earle of Cornewall, and mighty jauorite of King Edward the second, as it Edition: current; Page: [117] was publiquely acted by the right honorable the Earle of Pembrooke his seruants. Written by Christopher Marlow Gent. Printed at London for Roger Barnes, and are to be sould at his shop in Chauncere Lane ouer against the Rolles, 1612.
The last of the old editions is dated 1622:— The troublesome raigne and lamentable death of Edward the second, King of England: with the Tragicall fall of proud Mortimer. And also the life and death of Pers Gauestone, the great Earle of Cornewall, and mighty Fauorite of King Edward the second. As it was publikely Acted by the late Queenes Maiesties Seruants at the Red Bull in S. fohns streete. Written by Christopher Marlow Gent. London, Printed for Henry Bell, and are to be sold at his Shop, at the Lame-hospitall Gate, neere Smuthfield, 1622.
The text of the 1598 4to., which is fairly free from corruptions, differs but slightly from the texts of the two later 4tos. I have not had an opportunity of inspecting the 8vo. of 1594; but I suspect that it agrees very closely with the later copies.Edition: current; Page: [118]

Viking King
Viking King is a fast paced arcade game in which the player tries to avoid Odin's wrath. The allfather is smashing down fists to slay the mortals and he is raining down ice and fire on them. But luckily these Swedish pagans are forged in Valhalla by the hammer of Thor himself and so they can nimbly avoid attacks. The game gets faster and faster while Odin gets more and more angry. But fear not, you know if you fall your comrades await in Valhalla! Do not hesitate to play Viking King now, it is completely free and the first Viking to the battle will also be the first to the feast!

I haven't met this expression. Perhaps it's associated with the idea of leprechauns (Rainbow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) hiding their pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. I can imagine someone trying to outdo such a claim by adding the rainbow along with the pot of gold.
'Making a mint' is a common expression (in Br Eng) for earning a lot.

Sharing My Music and Sound FX - Over 1000 Tracks
Hi everyone,
I've created over 1000 tracks of music and sound effects that you are welcome to use in your films. It's all original...all my own work. All I ask is to be attributed in your project as detailed on my homepage:
I sincerely hope some of my tracks are helpful. Any and all feedback is welcome and always appreciated. :-)
All the best,
Was busy shooting a new film this past week, but I did manage to get some new tracks done for everyone. They are on my Fantasy 6 and 7 pages:
"Enchanted Places"_Looping
"Misty Forest"_Looping
"Analog Hero"_Looping
"Dark Fantasy Open"_Looping
"Spell's a Brewin'_v001"_Looping
"Some Dreamy Place_v001"_Looping

Nice! Don't forget to link yourself in any other "where can I find music" thread you see. There's at least one of those active today.
Things have finally calmed down a bit...pfew! ...In that spirit here's:
"Gulf Breeze"_Looping
The rest of this week's new free tracks are from my Technology Page...I think some of them might work in sci-fi themed projects. They are:
"Intriguing Future"_Looping
"Future Business"_Looping
"Future Grid"_Looping
"Switch On"_Looping
Enjoy your week! :-)

@EricMatyas You have incredible stuff there! Hope to one day come up with a project that needs me to use some. I have bookmarked your page though in anticipation of the that day.
Hey, nice music, I got to look into it more, but it sounds good, I always like free music for my films, keep up the good work!
Awesome...I hope some of my tracks come in handy! Speaking of which...
Now that looping versions of most of my tracks are done, I'm back to creating brand new music and soundscapes. Got a new synth, too, so lots of new sounds are on their way. Here are some for starters:
"Sky Runner" (standard and looping)
"Cyber Teen"
"It's Always Sunny in the 80's"
"It's Raining Pixels"
"The Ice Cream Man"
"After the Invasion"
"From the Sand to the Stars"
I hope some of them are useful! :-)
More brand new free tracks are ready for everyone...
"REACHING ALTITUDE" – I would love to hear this in a drone video…(I'm a huge fan.) But it might work in a travel video as well.
"THE ASTRONOMY CLUB" – Somehow these kids always seemed to have a lovable goofiness about them. I was never in the astronomy club, but probably should have been…I love all things having to do with space (and certainly qualified as far as the goofy factor was concerned!)
"GRUNGE STREET GAME" – (Looping) Might work under a fighting level.
"MIDNIGHT WANDERER" – Through the cold concrete jungle.
"A CITY FOR ALL MANKIND" – Perhaps one day people will finally learn to get along.
Have a great week! :-)
I like that you give kind of a description for each music score! I recently purchased a drone, so I will get some shots then put "REACHING ALTITUDE" in the video and show you! I don't know when, but hopefully in a month. Keep up the music! I bookmarked this thread.
Here are this week's new free tracks:
On the Action Page, we have:
"Nighttime Escape"
"Car Theft 101"
On my Funny 3 page, we have:
"Baboons with Balloons"
And on the Looping Music Page, we have:
"Puzzle Dreams"
"Puzzle Dreams 2"
"Puzzle Dreams 3"
Daily updates of new tracks are here:
I hope some of them are useful! :-)
Hey EricMatyas,
You got any war type of music for like WWI and WWII type of movie, not like kingdom stuff but Epic war stuff?
Try my Epic/Battle page. If none of those tracks work, I can always create some thing custom for you. Let me know. :-)
In the meantime...
Lots of new music for everyone:
On the Sci-Fi 5 page, we have:
"Monsters on Board"
"Monsters on Board 2"
"Monsters on Board 3"
On the Events/Travel 2 page, we have a new track intended for drone pilots, but it might work in a travel video as well:
"Cruising at Altitude"
For those of you needing puzzle game music, I started a new page of just that so all my puzzle music is in one place now (instead of scattered around.) So we have these new tracks:
"Hypnotic Puzzle"
"Hypnotic Puzzle 2"
"Hypnotic Puzzle 3"
"Hypnotic Puzzle 4"
And finally, a couple of new looping tracks on my Action page:
"Quirky Action"
"Quirky Action 2"
Remember, daily updates of new tracks are here:
Have a good week! :-)
Here are this week's new free tracks:
"Flying Over Ancient Lands"
"High Altitude Bliss"
"Dreamy Fantasy Game Menu"
"More Crazy Races"
"Funky Chiptune"
I hope some of them are useful. :-)

Thanks, I really appreciate it and hope some of my tracks are helpful.
For some reason my Facebook page for Soundimage won't let me post my daily updates (or anything else) so I've started a personal Facebook page. Here's the link:
Have a good weekend! :-)
I always wondered how music creators come up with the names of their tracks... What's your process for naming Eric?
Very Kind of you Eric and a great site you put togther , will donate when i can
Thanks for checking out my work, guys, I really appreciate it! And to answer your question, Paul: I create most of my tracks in a improvisational way and then name them based on what they sound like to me. :-)
Anyhow, it's proving to be another very busy week, but I've managed to get a few new free tracks done for everyone:
"The Giant Gates Open"
"The March of the Broken Robots"

"Captain Bad Ass" (looping)
"Captain Bad Ass 2" (looping)
"Captain Bad Ass 3" (looping)
These might be fun in some kind of gritty action game or story. Mix and match them. Edit as needed. Be a bad ass! ;-)
Have a great week!
Well, it's been another very hectic week, but I managed to get a few more tracks done.
Where I live, the summers are very long (and hot) and I see the stores already putting out the Halloween stuff. I think everyone around here is really over summer and just wishes fall were here. So, in the spirit of fall (well, really of Halloween) I've created:
"Trancyvania_v001" (looping)
"Trancyvania_v002" (looping)
"Trancyvania_v003" (looping)
"Trancyvania_v004" (looping)
I'd love to hear these in a video or game.

It probably comes as no surprise to advisors that consumers who work with a professional tend to be better off than those who go it on their own. A LIMRA survey released Wednesday confirmed consumers who work with advisors are more likely to be saving in a retirement plan and at a higher rate.
"We've all seen the scary statistics that not enough people are saving for retirement—a recent LIMRA survey revealed that almost half of Americans were not contributing to an employer-sponsored retirement plan or an IRA," Alison Salka, corporate vice president and director of LIMRA Retirement Research, said in a statement.
The survey found that, regardless of income level, more than 60% of consumers who work with an advisor are contributing to a retirement plan or IRA, compared with just 38% of those without an advisor.
Furthermore, 61% of consumers who work with an advisor contribute at least 7% of their salary to their plan. Just 36% of consumers without an advisor save at this rate.
The guidance and education that advisors provide their clients to bring on these good saving habits translate to higher confidence, too. Of non-retired consumers with an advisor, half said their advisor provided guidance on how much to save. More than 70% of Americans with an advisor say they're confident they're saving enough. Just 43% of consumers without an advisor felt the same.
"It is clear that advisors make a difference," Salka said. "It is vital that we as an industry better communicate the value of using an advisor to ensure a secure retirement—especially to younger consumers who are less likely to have a pension to rely on in retirement and, according to our survey, are also less likely to be saving for retirement."

The Interroll Academy is the education and training department of Interroll.
The Interroll Academy is the driving force in further transforming the Interroll Group into a learning organisation.
Our continuous investments in modern learning methods, training facilities and equipment underline our strong commitment to education for our employees as well as for our customers and partners. Furthermore, state-of-the-art training equipment and hands-on exercises ensure efficient learning and a high level of motivation of our learners.
Employee's Academy
For us, employee education and continuous development of competences is a core asset and a strategic goal. Therefore we train our people to be "Best in Class" with respect to customer commitment, responsiveness and knowledge. Our students, who are from all parts of the Interroll organization, are trained on the Interroll portfolio and our customer's applications, but they also receive support for their daily operations.
By our continuous training efforts each individual employee is enabled to exploit his/her talents in the most optimal way. Mixing traditional classroom training and new e-technologies in blended learning courses helps breaking down barriers, bringing training to the learner's periphery and reducing travel cost whenever it seems appropriate.
"Blended learning" means the blending of different learning methods, techniques and resources and applying them in an interactively meaningful learning environment. The classical classroom training component still plays a vital role in our training concept. Nothing can really replace hands-on exercises and social interaction.
The e-learning component gives our learners the additional freedom to learn when, where and how much at a time they like. They can select the best activities to suit their own pace, learning style and level. Learners can be more independent and self-reliant in their own learning. They can also be more able to take decisions, think creatively and critically, investigate and explore.
For customers & partners
We believe that trained and highly skilled employees are the key for success - and this is probably also true for your company. With our experts, your teams can exchange ideas, learn about best practices and get an insight knowledge which can only be offered by a global supplier like Interroll.
We therefore offer trainings and workshops for customers and their partners on many different topics. It can be product, installation and maintenance trainings. Or a mix of all! These courses can be customized according to needs.
If you are interested, please contact your local sales person!

On Google Maps, there are locations of several North Korean prison camps: Gulag 16, Gulag 22, and Chongjin Gulag.
Very serious reviews are appearing on Google Plus, and many of them are hardly flattering. This must be worrying as North Korea is apparently opening new interment resorts. No doubt these reviews will hamper expansion plans.
Here are the opinions of those who have spent time in the North Korean gulags, like Chongjin (above).
And this...
...and this...
Continue to Hwasong Gulag? Ouch!
I've heard good things about the local food.
Phew. Such brutal honesty.
As you plan your prison camp resort trip, keep in mind that not all the reviews are negative; there are some who had positive interment camp experiences.
Some of these camps, however, might want to take this criticism to heart. There's always room for improvement, North Korean gulags!

As boomers age, their retirement ambitions are likely to include more than just trading in their winter snow shovels for a fair-weathered community in a low-tax state. That is why the Milken Institute has created its new Best Cities for Successful Aging Index.
Far from a list of Florida cities with cheap, and early, eats, the Milken Institute rankings (which are actually dominated by cold-weather places) take into account a wide number of variables—78 in fact—that point to a community's health care resources, safety, affordability, comfort, ease of transportation, second-career opportunities, cultural offerings and community connectedness.
The study's authors—Anusuya Chatterjee, Ross DeVol and Paul Irving—drilled deeply. In the area of heath care, for example, they looked at the number of doctors, hospital beds, dialysis centers and more; the number of hospitals with Alzheimer's units and hospice centers; hospital expenses per inpatient day; the percentage of hospitals with medical school affiliations; and more than a dozen other factors.
They did the same for wellness indicators, financial indicators, employment and education indicators as well; they did all this for large metro areas and small metro areas, and they did this for two age cohorts—65 to 79 and 80 and older. The result is a multivariate ranking on steroids.
"This index is a first research of its kind in the United States using public-use data that determine the overall quality of life for seniors," Milken Institute scholar Anusuya Chatterjee said, commenting on the study for ThinkAdvisor. "Ninety percent of seniors want to age in [the same] place, and this index looks directly at how cities are meeting these needs."
Chatterjee said the Milken Institute's Successful Aging data site can be used as a tool for Americans to assess where each metro area stands. "Personal preference is of course the ultimate deciding guide," she adds.
The big study examined two cohorts: one that included the 100 largest cities and regions and the other 259 smaller metropolitan areas. ThinkAdvisor first looked at the 20 Best Big Cities for Successful Aging. Read on for the 15 Best Small Cities for Successful Aging.
15. Hattiesburg, Miss.
Overall Score: 88.46
Age 65-79 Rank and Score: 18; 87.37
Age 80+ Rank and Score: 7; 93.19
TAKEAWAY: Located between Jackson, Miss., and New Orleans, Hattiesburg has many job opportunities in industries likely to hire seniors. The metro has a relatively low cost of living and the lowest crime rate. But it has high rates of obesity, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. Since the senior population is small, volunteer rates are low.
14. Dubuque, Iowa
Overall Score: 88.47
Age 65-79 Rank and Score: 25; 86.56
Age 80+ Rank and Score: 17; 88.94
TAKEAWAY: The metro's unique architecture and river location attract many tourists, and it is highly connected to nearby Chicago. It offers quality hospitals and specialized care for seniors. The 65+ population is large, and seniors actively volunteer. Many points of cultural enrichment also make this metro desirable for seniors.
13. Morgantown, W.Va.
Overall Score: 89.05
Age 65-79 Rank and Score: 13; 88.87
Age 80+ Rank and Score: 18; 88.74
TAKEAWAY: Home to the University of West Virginia, Morgantown has employment, art and culture, education and access to health care services. Rentals are inexpensive, and homes are moderately priced. However, it ranks toward the bottom in living arrangements due largely to the expense and lack of facilities for the oldest, sickest population.
12. Anchorage, Alaska
Overall Score: 89.68
Age 65-79 Rank and Score: 8; 91.02
Age 80+ Rank and Score: 67; 85.11
TAKEAWAY: Anchorage's older residents enjoy the benefits of senior-friendly employment opportunities and public policies. However, it ranks near the bottom in most of the indicators involving living arrangements, and it goes without saying that the severe weather is a bummer.
11. Ames, Iowa
Overall Score: 90.67
Age 65-79 Rank and Score: 6; 91.51
Age 80+ Rank and Score: 10; 91.31
TAKEAWAY: Ames has an educated workforce, low unemployment, a strong fiscal base and the amenities of a university town. Although it has high ridership in public transport, the commute time is long. Housing and rental prices are above the median, and residents need more continuing-care facilities and better-quality hospitals and nursing homes.
10. Rapid City, S.D.
Overall Score: 90.71
Age 65-79 Rank and Score: 10; 89.71
Age 80+ Rank and Score: 12; 89.72
TAKEAWAY: Rapid City has a thriving economy with a major health care center that serves the five-state region and an influx of tourism due to nearby Mount Rushmore. However, home health care providers, continuing care facilities and quality nursing homes are in short supply.
9. Durham-Chapel Hill, N.C.
Overall Score: 90.74
Age 65-79 Rank and Score: 11; 89.21
Age 80+ Rank and Score: 8; 92.01
TAKEAWAY: Home to Duke University and part of the famed Research Triangle, Durham is an excellent choice for overall access to health care and medical innovation and for enjoying all the benefits top-notch educational institutions have to offer. While home prices are expensive, rentals are not. However, the high crime rate makes safety a big concern.
8. Missoula, Mont.
Overall Score: 91.44
Age 65-79 Rank and Score: 9; 90.49
Age 80+ Rank and Score: 16; 88.98
TAKEAWAY: Missoula enjoys the cultural, educational and financial benefits of being a university town. It has quality health care and many recreational facilities. However, it ranks near the bottom in income growth and inequality, weather, cost of living and housing prices among the small metros.
7. Ann Arbor, Mich.
Overall Score: 91.82
Age 65-79 Rank and Score: 7; 91.23
Age 80+ Rank and Score: 9; 92.00
TAKEAWAY: The University of Michigan at Ann Arbor is one of the best in the nation and offers a raft of cultural and educational opportunities for residents. But living arrangements are expensive, and the economic environment makes it less than ideal for seniors in the market for a second career.
6. Gainesville, Fla.
Overall Score: 92.26
Age 65-79 Rank and Score: 5; 91.86
Age 80+ Rank and Score: 6; 93.25
TAKEAWAY: Home of the University of Florida, Gainesville is a vibrant town with great weather and a strong fiscal base. The university-affiliated Shands HealthCare system is one of the best in the nation. However, a slow economy and a small senior population in the metro might prevent seniors from relocating here.
5. Rochester, Minn.
Overall Score: 92.49
Age 65-79 Rank and Score: 12; 89.06
Age 80+ Rank and Score: 4; 94.34
TAKEAWAY: The Mayo Clinic, one of the best hospitals in the nation, is located here. Needless to say, this has attracted many health care providers. Safe and secure neighborhoods offer a superior quality of life. But the sluggish economy and low college enrollment are definite weaknesses.
4. Columbia, Mo.
Overall Score: 94.43
Age 65-79 Rank and Score: 4; 93.26
Age 80+ Rank and Score: 5; 94.00
TAKEAWAY: Thanks in part to a strong tax base, Columbia offers excellent educational facilities and health care. University-sponsored research is an incubator for innovation and new businesses, which gives seniors access to cutting-edge technology in health care and supports entrepreneurial activities. However, the metro is short on recreation and culture.
3. Bismarck, N.D.
Overall Score: 95.44
Age 65-79 Rank and Score: 3; 93.30
Age 80+ Rank and Score: 3; 96.26
TAKEAWAY: The capital city is reaping the benefits of North Dakota's oil and gas boom. It ranks high in senior employment, and the large service sector increases the chances of finding a job. If weather is not a high priority, Bismarck offers excellent opportunities for working seniors.
2. Iowa City, Iowa
Overall Score: 98.63
Age 65-79 Rank and Score: 2; 97.07
Age 80+ Rank and Score: 1; 100.00
TAKEAWAY: Home to the University of Iowa and its medical school, Iowa City has excellent health care, little crime and relatively few seniors below the poverty line. On the flip side, housing and rentals are pricier than the median for small metros. Although its population skews younger, the presence of a young working-age population implies a solid fiscal base.
1. Sioux Falls, S.D.
Overall Score: 100.00
Age 65-79 Rank and Score: 1; 100.00
Age 80+ Rank and Score: 2; 97.58
TAKEAWAY: With a booming economy, low unemployment, and a rapidly growing financial infrastructure, Sioux Falls is a good place for seniors who want to work or start a second career. Its hospitals specialize in geriatric services, hospice and rehabilitation, and the metro has recreation and an active lifestyle. But seniors might be turned off by the inclement weather and lack of contemporaries.

A little over one year ago, the world witnessed unprecedented events as political protests swept across the Middle East, taking down four long-standing autocrats and drastically changing the political landscape.
Given the extreme political, economic and social volatility, investors fled the region for much of 2011. In the long term, however, many countries in the Middle East should offer attractive investment opportunities because of extremely propitious demographic profiles.
The performance of stock markets shows investors are regaining confidence. However, private equity investments, which give a more meaningful indicator of long-term money, remain very depressed. The Arab Spring has been an important step toward political reform, but there is much further to go.
The Journey So Far
One year on, we can divide the Middle East into three groups. The first includes the vast majority of countries where there has been little to no change, with the incumbent regimes employing repression, financial inducements and limited concessions to stay in power. Saudi Arabia, the other Gulf States, Algeria, Morocco and Jordan are examples.
The second group contains those countries suffering violent instability and risk of civil war. This group consists of Syria and Yemen, two countries at important but uncertain junctures. In Syria, Bashar al-Assad remains in power, waging an increasingly violent war of attrition against fragmented Syrian opposition forces. Kofi Annan's ceasefire has collapsed, and local human rights groups estimate the death toll at more than 20,000.
In Yemen, Ali Abdullah Saleh stepped down after 30 years in power, but the political landscape is extremely fragile. A failure to mediate between the country's diverse groups could return Yemen to the brink of civil war.
Until recently, Libya was also in group two. However, the country's first post-Gadhafi election ran surprisingly smoothly, with decent participation, few irregularities and the largest share of votes won by a broadly secular party. Yet forming a government will require complex coalition-building, and even the winning party consists of almost 60 organizations with diverse interests. Libya has decent prospects as an oil-rich state with a relatively small, well-educated population, but it could yet stagnate due to weak institutions and internal fragmentation.
Depending on how it progresses, Libya may graduate to group three, which contains Egypt and Tunisia. These countries have made the most progress toward democratization, removing long-standing authoritarian rulers and installing democratically elected administrations. Tunisia in particular has experienced an unprecedented transformation, with the legalization of 106 political parties, the release of 500 political prisoners and the lifting of press censorship. In Egypt, the situation is changing by the day with a finely balanced power struggle between the military and the new administration.
Oil and Stimulus
The transitions in Egypt and Tunisia should, in the long run, result in the emergence of an active private sector, new industries and a reinvigorated, consumer-led economy. However, the political situation is far from secure.
Regarding oil, the most relevant country is Saudi Arabia, where the regime has managed to buy off dissenters with a $130 billion stimulus package. The country is probably the most likely to remain peaceful, but the cost of the stimulus means the state now requires a higher oil price to balance its budget.
The problem for portfolio investors, however, is that there are few listed companies in the Middle East and many countries—including Saudi Arabia, the largest equity market—do not allow foreigners to participate in their markets.
The key question is whether the regimes that have made progress can survive the necessary transition to a more sustainable, broad-based economy or whether industrialization becomes the catalyst for full democratization.
With the opportunity to reap a sizeable demographic dividend, multinationals cannot afford to neglect the region, and most global companies have some operations in at least some states.
Last month, we highlighted the Arab Spring as an example of how the pre-financial crisis order has broken down (See "Finding Sustainable Growth in a Fragmented World," Investment Advisor, October 2012). Indeed, the post-Arab Spring world has implications for broader global stability. As the political situations across the region diverge, we see increasing fragmentation in the region versus the pre-2011 status quo. Geopolitics both within the region and globally will become more complex.

The Nike LunarSolo Men's Running Shoe is ready to run when you are. Understated in style yet serious in performance, this versatile shoe provides support and a smooth ride for your workout.
Incredible Cushioning
The updated Lunarlon cushioning is soft and supportive to help create a smooth heel-to-toe transition with each stride.
Comfort and Stability
A stretchy, sleek design is lightweight yet secure in the midfoot for sharp turns. An inner sleeve keeps the tongue from shifting to the sides so you don't have to constantly adjust. A tab along the heel makes it easy to slide in and out for quick changes.
Added Protection
The outsole's heel and forefoot have slightly raised sections that act like pistons to rebound on footstrike for extra protection and a luxuriously cushioned feel whether you're walking or pumping up the speed.

Preparation time: 30 minutes
Servings: 6 - 1 ¼ cup.
5 A Day servings: 2 ½.
5 cups broccoli flowerets
2 tbsps. almonds
2 - 11 oz. cans of mandarin orange sections, well drained
1 orange, grated peel and juice
5 green onions, chopped
3 tbsps. white vinegar
1 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsps. olive oil
salt and pepper, optional*
1. Steam broccoli flowerets in covered saucepan for 3 minutes only. Remove quickly and rinse with cold running water until broccoli is no longer warm. Do not cook further. Place in serving bowl and chill, covered.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, combine almonds, drained mandarin oranges, grated peel and juice from orange, green onions, and remaining ingredients except for salt and pepper. Toss gently and allow to stand at room temperature for about 15 to 30 minutes.
3. When ready to serve, pour marinated orange mixture on chilled broccoli and toss very gently. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if desired, and serve.*
Chef's Notes: Vividly green vegetables such as green beans, cucumbers, broccoli, and zucchini will slowly turn a drab yellow-green color when in the presence of acids for a moderate period. To keep this salad bright in color, the orange-flavored dressing is added just before serving.

[ringing sound] [ADOBE DEVELOPER CONNECTION] Hi, I'm Duane Nickull, an Adobe evangelist. [Duane Nickull - Platform Evangelist] Today for this version of ADC Presents, we're going to go in and look at LiveCycle Data Services 3 and this cool new feature that's been called Fiber as its internal code name. [Model-Driven Development in LiveCycle Data Services 3] And this a methodology for data-driven development. LiveCycle Data Services and the Flash Builder 4 release work together side by side. Flash Builder 4 is the product that is a continuation from the Flex Builder line of products. Flex Builder 3 would have yielded normally to Flex Builder 4, and it's now called Flash Builder 4. This has some very powerful modeling plug-ins that you can add to it [Complete Tutorial and Downloads] [http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/lcdses2_mdd_quickstart.html] that enable it to examine and inspect the data models on the server side and work with them and pass information back and forth to build an application very quickly with cred capabilities, assuming, of course, you have proper permissions. So let's get started, shall we? First thing I'm going to do is go down to my root directory and go to the applications directory and find the LiveCycle Data Services standalone. And inside this directory there is a database which we can start up, and this is called the Sample DB. When we start this up on the Mac, we say, sh startdb.sh There's a little shell script there. We'll open another window, and while that's going on we'll go to the applications directory again and this time go to the Tomcat bin directory. Under the Tomcat directory there's a Catalina file that we can start up using the same sort of syntax, and this will start up our LiveCycle Data Services, and this is in standalone. Now, as this is roaring through, you might not see this--this is going too fast-- you'll see there's a Hibernate database that's running on one of the ports--I believe it's 9002. We can get the Hibernate database mapping the HSQLDB driver and reference it from this port. And there's a database called orders.db. We've modified a file. When you install LiveCycle Data Services, you'll have to go to the conf directory, Catalina, local host, LIveCycle Data Services and add this snippet of code to this particular file. As well, you'll have to modify the permission so that you have access to code against this. I've disabled the security login with credentials on this, and we now should have the database in a position that's running inside of the container. [keyboard clicking] So there it is. Our application server is up and running. Now, to connect to this through Flash Builder, there's a number of wizards. I'm going to create a new Flex project, and we'll call this adc4, and this one will take J2EE as the basic type. We're going to check "Use remote object access service," and we have a choice of service. We're going to take LiveCycle Data Services ES as our data services folder, data services option, and before we set up the project, we have to validate the configuration and make sure that the web root folder and the root URL are valid. In this case, I pointed the root folder at the LiveCycle Data Services folder under Web Apps, and we've picked the LCDS subfolder from Local Host 8400, and the context route is LCDS. And that's really all we need to do to set this up. I've now set up a new project, and you can see that the stub code has been added for me. Assuming you have downloaded and installed the data modeler plug-in, you will be able to get a new RDS Dataview window by going to Window, Other Views... And there will be a new folder called Data Model and the RDS Dataview. And when you open this Dataview up, it's giving you a remote data services view of data that is on the server in the database we referenced through the configuration code that we just showed. So we have Tables and a database that appear up here for us, and the Fiber data model can be inspected and used. We just go over and Edit Active Data Model. There's a little icon that will be added here when you use the plug-in. Clicking on this will create a new Fiber data model view. At this point we can simply drag the product over and look at the design view of it or the source view. In this particular ID environment, we could get very, very complex, and you can show complete databases with relations between different entities and you can set attributes, properties and a number of other things. We've got this particular subset of the data because we're time constrained and we're just trying to do a simple demo. The next thing we'll do is deploy the model back to the LiveCycle Data Services. I always like to save this before I do it. So I save the project, and when you save the project, you'll notice a small change occurred down here. It automatically added us a product service, and it generated a lot of code for us. This code is being generated under the adc4 package. We have five different classes, actions or classes, that have been built for us which we can inspect later if we want. We now deploy the model back to the server. I'm going to check "Overwrite existing data model." This is usually done in case you have modified the data model on the client side, and it'll recreate it and overwrite any data model that you've got. It tells us it was successfully deployed back to the server. We can go back to our project now and switch into design view. It's very easy to now get a simple data view of this. We can go down here to our Data Services. We drag the data grid up, we drag get all product onto this, and you'll see that this data grid is now bound to this. Running the project will yield a call to the database, and it will display the results back to the application. This is pretty cool. We've managed to do this without writing a single line of code. But we can take this concept a little bit further, thanks to the engineers who have worked on the Adobe LiveCycle Data Services. This is simply one of the best integration stories people have for enterprise RIAs today. Let's go back and modify it further. In the Flex Builder environment, we have got simple read access right now coming to and from the database. But imagine we wanted to be able to update and write products to this database table as well. We can click on the service and ask the Flash Builder IDE to generate a form for us. We click the type of Model Driven Form and it generates a form that's automatically bound to that service call. It hasn't laid it out in a very elegant way, so I'm just going to slide this down myself, and we'll put it a little bit under here. I don't want to align it too much, or I might be accused of being a good designer one day, which I don't want. When you run this again, this gives us some additional capabilities. So if we want to add a new product, we could say, adcproduct, and we could put a price on it and a product name and hit Save. And this product now persists in our database. We've actually written this to the back end. If we reload this database and get the call back again, you'll see that it in fact has reappeared right now. We can make one final tweak to this program to make it populate the form from the value of the selected index in the data grid. So we have the data grid in the code view, and it has an ID of data grid. What we're going to do for the form is basically take the data grid, selected object, and the data grid, selected object will have to be cast. So this one will be selected item, which returns type object as, and what we want to do is use our custom data type which we created in this project called Product. We save this again and run it. When we run it, you can see when we select something from our data grid, it automatically populates the form below. I'm Duane Nickull. This has been a great exploratory tutorial for LiveCycle Data Services 3, the Fiber data modeling technology and data-driven development working with Flash Builder 4. [Duane Nickull - adobe.com/devnet] I encourage you to try this out. This is really, really cool technology. It really clearly puts the RIA stack from Adobe miles above what the competition's doing. Have fun with it. Play around with it. Peace. Love. May your code compile on the first go. [ADOBE DEVELOPER CONNECTION]

METS: New York ties the Miami Marlins in late rally
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. >> Matt Harvey didn't mind that it felt more like he was pitching in New York than in Florida.
Harvey gave up a leadoff homerun to Marlins prospect Christian Yelich before settling down to strike out four in 2 2-3 innings, and the New York Mets and Miami tied 8-8 on Saturday.
"It was a little cold, a little tough getting a grip on the ball, but I have to get used to it," Harvey said on a day when temperatures hovered in the upper 50s and low 60s. "I did a lot of good things, did a lot of bad things. Still have some work to do, but other than that, everything feels good."
Harvey, who said he grew up pitching in snow in Connecticut, allowed one run, three hits and walked one. He immediately settled in after Yelich's home run, retiring five in a row -- including three strikeouts.
"Obviously, the competitive edge doesn't want to give up any hits or runs or anything like that, but at the same time it's throwing some pitches I wouldn't throw in certain counts and I think in the third inning I kind of backed up some changeups there," Harvey said.
Marlins starter Alex Sanabia, who is competing to be the team's No. 5 starter, pitched two scoreless innings. He allowed just one base runner -- Marlon Byrd, who reached on an error, and threw one wild pitch.
"It was good to go out there and get a few more innings in," Sanabia said. "Pretty much, it's just go out there and perform and get outs. That's pretty much my main purpose is to throw strikes and get outs."
While the first batter Harvey faced homered, Sanabia was bailed out when center fielder Jake Marisnick made a nice catch to rob Mets leadoff hitter Collin Cowgill of a would-be extra base hit.
"That was awesome," Sanabia said. "I thought that ball was over his head or maybe out because (Cowgill) squared that ball up. But him catching that, instead of a guy being on second or third, it's one out, bases empty. It was definitely a huge play."
Yelich continued his hot start, going 2 for 2 with two RBIs, two runs scored and two walks. He's hitting .462 (6 of 13) in seven games. First baseman Joe Mahoney hit two home runs and had four RBIs for the Marlins.
Mets right fielder Lucas Duda homered and had two hits, one day after being scratched from the lineup for an undisclosed medial issue.
Duda, who had offseason wrist surgery and was 1 for 10 coming into the game, downplayed Saturday's success.
"There's no difference," Duda said. "I just think seeing more live pitching is a big factor. ... Just like when I went 0 for 4 with four strikeouts and today 2 for 3 it's just one day. Just keep working hard throughout the spring and get better."
NOTES: Marlins third baseman Chone Figgins made two errors -- one throwing and one fielding. . Harvey said he paid close attention to Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander, who threw in Port St. Lucie on Friday. Harvey said his goal this season is to hit the 200-inning mark, which Verlander has done six straight years. ... Mets starter Shaun Marcum, who has not pitched since the spring opener on Feb. 23, will pitch in a minor league game in Jupiter on Tuesday. Relievers LaTroy Hawkins and Pedro Feliciano also are scheduled to pitch in that game.

Storm surge, fire force harrowing nighttime escape
The text messages Sarah Lusman was receiving Monday evening got worse with each passing moment.
With every surge of the tide, with every disquieting rattle of the house, the Lusmans became more wary about the terrifying situation unfolding around them.
Outside their Tomac Lane waterfront home in Old Greenwich, in the swirling darkness, Hurricane Sandy battered the coastline with ferocious wind gusts and a devastating tidal surge that had already begun to overtake a stone wall at the bottom of the lane. Brown, debris-ridden water gushed through a gateway into the dead end street. White caps dotted the cove.
The Lusmans' house is perched atop a small rise. During Tropical Storm Irene last August, their home escaped the most destructive effects of the storm.
The Lusmans wondered if, this time around, they would be so lucky.
To the east, in Stamford, their nanny stood in a high-rise apartment, watching the Greenwich coastline, a black blur amid frothing waves and ominous clouds. She looked in the direction of the Lusmans' home. Then she looked toward the west. Toward Binney Lane. She began to mash frenetic text messages into her cell phone.
Along the Greenwich coastline, a dull orange glow rose toward the sky. News outlets reported that a fire was raging out of control along Binney Lane, spread by the wind and consuming houses as it went.
For the Lusman family members -- Sarah, her husband Joel, and David, only 17 months old -- the orange glow was too close. Far too close.
"We could tell the fire was spreading," Sarah said Tuesday.
The text messages coming in from their nanny confirmed their fears.
"We looked again at 8, 8:15 and it looked bigger," she said. "That was when we had to go."
The Lusmans evacuated.
Sandy didn't make it easy for them.
Only feet below their front steps, their driveway sloped downward, into a thrashing pool of water. Joel waded through the water twice, bringing some necessities to their car, parked atop a rise in Tomac Lane. When he returned a third time to leave the house for good with his family, the water had risen to waist level.
"My jeans were wet up to here," Sarah said, pointing to her waistband.
Joel grabbed David to keep him dry and they made their way through the flood, through the wind, to the car.
Seven-tenths of a mile away, on Forest Avenue, there is an office building, safe from Sandy's wrath.
Seven-tenths of a mile.
"It was terrifying," Joel said of the drive. "We kept having to back track because there were downed trees"I had to zig and zag my way through."
It was the longest seven-tenths of a mile of the Lusmans' lives.
"That was terrifying," Joel said.
But they made it to Forest Avenue, and they made it safely. Behind them, Sandy's surge rushed up the steps of their front porch. Water flooded the basement.
The tide level was "a good foot-and-a-half, two feet higher" than during Irene, Joel said.
Once at the office building, they found shelter inside.
"We were really nervous, and I think [David] sensed it," Joel said. "We set up his portable crib, and he fell asleep."
Tuesday morning, David was smiling happily inside the Lusman's garage. A line of reeds and debris two-thirds of the way up the driveway marked the peak of the storm surge. Repair crews had already arrived. The bottom of Tomac Lane was once again beginning to fill with Tuesday' afternoon's surge, but it paled in comparison to the flood of the night before.
"My landscaping is wrecked," Joel said, standing in yellow boots and a sweatshirt and staring across his yard, where bushes and plants were flattened and debris was scattered across grass.
Eight inches of water flooded the basement, and some of the wood on the first floor suffered water damage, Joel said.
But the Lusmans -- all standing in their garage a few feet above where Sandy left her mark -- said they will replace their property.
Their health, their lives -- what's most important -- those things are all OK.
And they will move forward. Like thousands of other Greenwich residents.
Together, Sarah and Joel looked at David Tuesday afternoon, who was still smiling, still giggling, as if nothing had happened.
Sarah lifted him into the air, and held him close to her.
"He's having an adventure," she said.

That the turf at Solider Field is bad for kickers is not breaking news.
But after two inches of rain fell during Sunday's game and left the track a mess, stadium officials said they were going to replace the sod on the middle of the field.
Stadium general manager Tim LeFevour told Dan Pompei of the Chicago Tribune the middle 40 yards would be removed Thursday and replaced with new sod Friday. It was resodded six weeks ago prior to the Notre Dame-Miami game, and they hoped to hold off on another new layer until the playoffs. But the swampy conditions made it a necessity this week.
Bears kicker Robbie Gould complained about the conditions during an interview with WMVP-AM, wondering why the field was not covered in the hours prior to the game.
"I don't know what's happening," Gould said. "This year our field has been really bad. It's been tore up. There have actually been some places on the field where some portions of it have actually sunk to a new low level, and the other spots are high. . . .
"But it's been really interesting to watch this year how bad our field has really been. I know we have talked about this every single year. . . . Can we please get somebody in there that watches a news report?"
LeFevour shrugged off the kicker's criticism.
"Those are ridiculous comments," LeFevour said. "He doesn't know what he is talking about. The field has not been an issue all year, and we haven't heard anyone else complaining. . . .
"He is never satisfied."
Of course, Gould said Wednesday that if they were resodding now, it was clearly a problem.
Putting aside the fact it's a bad idea to anger people who work with power equipment with spinning blades, Gould's complaints don't elicit much sympathy.
Given a choice, kickers would always prefer to kick off the fairways at Augusta National, with each individual blade of grass nibbled to a clean edge by a soft baby bunny right before they take the field.
But growing grass in Chicago in November is harder than it looks, and Gould of all people should know that, after having kicked there since 2005.

I wanted to try and make a dota original hero that follows dota 2 lore but furthers dota's competitive history. Open to lore writing and artistic visions (as it seems like the hero already has competitive appeal with respect to balance)
abacus (alternatively matthias?)
horseback archer
Q: whistling "vanes" small-aoe (175?) ground-targeted-aoe skillshot +cc tbd, implemented by a ghostly projectile that can seperate from this world, legendary shot that chain fells trees. only applies effects and damage (with the exception of trees) on landing, composite dmg if enemy or healing with the additional application of a spell damage buff on next attack if self or friendly. minimum range of 600
W: "nock" crit passive with an active that replaces the base attack damage of your next attack with the highest recorded non critical attack damage
E: "chime" (basically a free drum with a transformation based aura active that also resets attack timer? (in addition to regen buffs) A skill that also occupies a backpack slot and may be given to another hero to share the skill, abacus still receives the effect of the chime. Artwork and lore being the wisdom of forgoing spurs for boots in order to royally entrust mana in his warhorse's instincts
Ult: "flight": aoe-targeted spell that deals base attack damage (shooting multiple arrows in one draw) and has an evasion condition (to introduce a skill that can be drafted against evasion builders or heroes that rely on skill based dmg-evasion) hits another target in range with heavy critical damage if missed/disjointed etc (applys a debuff that polls all nearby entities within an aoe to apply missed dmg)

I know at least two definitions of correspondence, and my question might as well be about both of them.
- Let $X,Y$ be objects in your favorite category. A correspondence is a span, namely a diagram $X \leftarrow Z \rightarrow Y$.
- Let $X,Y$ be objects in your favorite category with products. A correspondence is a subobject of $X\times Y$.
If your category has pull-backs, then there is a good notion of composition of spans. My understanding is that definition 2. does not usually give a good notion of composition. Also, sometimes these definitions should be modified. For example, when the category consists of spaces with structure (symplectic manifolds, for example), often I should replace $Y$ above with its opposite. In particular, the correct notion of any of these should be such that the graph of a function is an example of a correspondence.
I'm generally interested in very concrete categories — the category of smooth manifolds, for example — and I'm hoping for open-ended answers to my open-ended question. Which is: to what extent should I treat correspondences like functions?
For example, if $K$ is a ring object in my category, what conditions make the set of correspondences between $X$ and $K$ into a ring? (Or higher-categorical analogue, since really the span-category is a two-category, etc.)

As I take a summer vacation with my family, I tend to wonder if the multitudes of people on the beaches and at other vacation spots across the U.S. really comprehend the price of that luxury. I'm not talking about the literal cost of the trip, but more about having the personal and financial freedoms to even take a vacation.
My father wrote a wonderful blog post about a personal experience he recently had in Washington, D.C., reminding us to remember every day that Freedom is NOT Free. His post was mostly about the personal and political freedoms we as Americans enjoy, thanks to the fearless soldiers who courageously put themselves in harm's way or sacrificed their lives for our benefit.
However, the point he indirectly makes is that those same dedicated individuals also helped lay the foundation for our financial freedoms as well, so that anyone is free to work hard, be self-sufficient and become an entrepreneur, inventor, writer or even financial advisor today.
Yet as I look at our current governance, it seems that quite a different message is being communicated through society and with our tax code. Basic financial freedom and the many privileges it affords have, indeed, become truly 'free' for too many Americans, but not in a good way.
The Obamacare PPACA law, for example, was recently upheld by the Supreme Court, which ruled that legally it's a tax. But the notion that government-subsidized health care is 'free' or an inalienable right, is absolutely ludicrous to me.
Per the law, starting in 2013, if you don't have health insurance coverage you will pay a tax penalty, assuming you don't qualify for an exemption. However, if you do have health insurance coverage and make more than $250,000 a year, ObamaCare will actually tax you more, thereby penalizing you and making you pay for someone else's free health care coverage! We all know that many Americans work very hard every day just to make ends meet, so it's wrong to assume those who don't buy health insurance are somehow irresponsible. However, if they can't purchase an important basic need such as health insurance, how can they pay for a cell phone, iPod, iPad, cable TV or a newer model vehicle? Should they expect the government (and the taxpayers) to pick up their insurance tab, while we as a country spend ourselves off a financial cliff?
For example, USgovernmentspending.com reports that in 2011, the cost of all federal, state and local social welfare programs was an estimated $745 billion; $473 billion of that at the federal level. Even in Hawaii, with a population of only 1.3 million people, the state's department of human services provided almost $5,200 a year in food stamps to 77,133 households, or more than $401 million/year. We as a country can't continue at this pace. The government can't keep mandating that hard-working families who behave responsibly and make good financial decisions pay more, while reinforcing to others in our society that someone else will be responsible for you and that "financial freedom is free."
Similarly, clients often ask me how it's possible that half of American households pay no federal income tax. As a CPA, I can tell you that it's quite possible, even on income well above welfare-qualifying limits. For instance, in 2011, a married couple with four children all under age 17 could have earned roughly $66,100/year without paying any federal income tax. This is calculated as follows:
- Adjusted gross income of $66,100 – six exemptions at $3,700 each = a $22,200 deduction
- Married, filing joint standard deduction of $11,600 = taxable income of $32,300
- Four children under the age of 17 = $4,000 child tax credit ($1,000/child)
The tax credit completely cancels out the federal tax burden on their taxable income of $32,300. While that tax code works to the benefit of this hard-working family, it doesn't support our country's need for true financial freedom long-term.
Yes, raising children is expensive; trust me, I have three of my own. However, assuming that a family of six versus a family of two without children should keep, at a minimum, $4,000 more for having children rather than not, raises the question, "Whose financial responsibility are the children?" Is it the government or the parents who freely chose to have children?
Are we creating a society where the financially responsible segment of our society is forced to pay in some way for the other 50% of our society? I'm in no way advocating we let anyone go hungry, but we have to make people at least somewhat financially responsible for their choices. My concern is that government has created an expectation that the cost of financial freedom is sometimes free – if not totally free in some instances, often paid for by someone else.
As financial advisors, we help families accumulate wealth, invest it prudently and retire securely. But given the state of our government and society, it seems our services will be more valuable than ever if we want to help the best country in the world maintain its financial freedom. I'd urge all of us as advisors to find more ways to educate every American on how to live within their means, become overly self-sufficient and save more than they ever dreamed possible, because our country's future growth and financial freedom depend on it. True financial freedom require a sacrificial cost of today for the future benefit of tomorrow, but remember, it is never free.
