Indiana National Guardsman Anthony Garcia is unemployed and is staring down a mounting stack of bills.
Hearing about a job fair last week through his National Guard unit, Garcia was determined to give it a try.
That's how he found himself among fellow veterans on Tuesday at an event that emphasized working on the Ohio River Bridges Project.
"I need something more consistent," Garcia, of Jeffersonville, said. "It's a big help, I wouldn't know where to go to apply for the bridge work."
At the National Guard Armory off Grant Line Road, guard and former military personnel signed up to vie for jobs associated with, or that stand to benefit from, the bridges project while attending the fair.
The Indiana Department of Transportation, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and contractor teams for the bridges project teamed up with the Indiana National Guard, WorkOne and Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs and Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve to host the fair, which was expected to draw more than 200 participants.
"This was initially set up to be in conjunction with the Ohio River Bridges Project, but it has expanded," said Indiana National Guard Capt. Catalina Carrasco. She is also the program manager for the national guard's employment coordination program. "It is with an emphasis in the military community, however, it is open to the public," she said of the job fair.
Garcia wasn't the only hopeful employee for the bridges project.
Indiana National Guard members Mark Small and Joshua Dixon both said they planned to apply for one of the jobs with the bridges project contracting teams.
"The bridges project is going to be a prevailing wage job," Dixon said of his interest in working for one of the contractors. He added that if he was hired by one of the bridges contractors, it may lead to employment beyond the three year construction timeline of the bridges project.
"I figured there would be a lot better opportunities here than looking through the newspaper," he said.
Walsh Construction Project Manager Max Rowland said while there are hiring requirements for Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, DBEs, there are no requirements for hiring veterans.
"[There's] no requirement for veterans, but we want to use as many as we can," Rowland said.
He said companies are interested in veterans and reserve military members because they have good work experience and they are reliable.
"It means a lot to us if somebody's willing to work and they show up every day," Rowland said. "You can't complete this job in the aggressive schedule if our crews don't show up to work every day."
Walsh Design Build Team — working on the downtown portion of the project — and WVB East End Partners have not hired the full complement of employees.
Rowland said current staffing levels are only at about 20 to 25 percent of the total workforce that will be hired.
"We're still building up crews right now," he said. "By the end of September we'll probably filled up for this year."
Ron Heustis, INDOT project manager for the Ohio River Bridges Project, said there were opportunities beyond being initially hired to work on the bridges project at the job fair.
"We see this as an ongoing opportunity during the whole project, this is not a one time shot," he said of the employees being sought Tuesday. "The big piece behind the bridges is providing the economic opportunity to southern Indiana and ... Kentucky. That's where the long-lasting job opportunities come from."
Erik Martinez, a recruiter from Jeffersonville-based Accent Marketing, was among the many non-bridges related companies set up at the fair. The former member of the Air Force was on-hand looking for the right fit for the company, but was also hoping to help someone find a new career.
"I'm just here to give someone the opportunity to do something else," he said. "I would personally do [this] and volunteer my time just because it is a veterans fair."

Pro-Life Group Screens Graphic Kermit Gosnell Documentary to Staffers on Capitol Hill
The Susan B. Anthony List head told Hill staffers it was their responsibility to face the facts on Gosnell case.
The staffers of a number of prominent Republican members of Congress attended a briefing and screening Friday morning on the case of Kermit Gosnell, a Philadelphia doctor who practiced abortions for nearly four decades and is now on trial for murder. Gosnell is accused in the deaths of a female patient and seven babies at his Philadelphia clinic.
Staffers from the offices of Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Reps. Chris Smith, R-N.J., Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., and Doug Lamborn, R-Colo., watched the graphic documentary, "3801 Lancaster," which detailed the squalid conditions of Gosnell's clinic and showed graphic images of the babies who are believed to have died there.
[WARNING: Graphic Content. See the Documentary Here.]
Several of the staffers winced or turned away from the screen when images were shown of babies Gosnell allegedly aborted by "snipping," a practice by which a baby's spinal cord is severed with scissors.
The documentary was made by independent filmmakers and screened on the Hill by the Pennsylvania Family Institute and the Washington-based pro-life group the Susan B. Anthony List.
"There are only one of two ways to respond to this. The first is to do what we all feel like right now, which is to recoil... and hope that it goes away," SBA List head Marjorie Dannenfelser told staffers after the film concluded. "But that's not why we're here on Capitol Hill."
Dannenfelser encouraged staffers to specifically look into potentially lax regulation of abortion clinics in their home states, as well as fetal pain legislation at the federal level.
She told Whispers that the prominence of the Gosnell case "amplifies our arguments" and "strengthens our ability to succeed."

---- — LAKE PLACID — The roster of athletes arriving for the Empire State Winter Games has topped 1,100.
The Olympic venues are ready for today's opening. And competitors are ready to see the torch lit.
Athletes — including some skaters yet to turn 10 and snowshoers older than 60 — will compete in some 20 events, including ice skating, alpine skiing, biathlon, hockey and skier/snowboarder cross.
Four adaptive events were added to the Winter Games roster this year, snowboard cross and biathlon among them, and more than 40 adaptive athletes are signed in to compete.
Organizers said this year's event rivals the biggest held in 33 years.
Ted Blazer, president and CEO of the Olympic Regional Development Authority, spent time earlier this week checking venues.
"Things are looking really good," he said. "We're right in event mode."
Two World Cup competitions have already been held in Lake Placid, and last weekend's synchronized skating brought more than 2,000 athletes to the village.
But the Empire State Games are fast becoming a part of storied local winter sports history.
This marks the third year that six communities here have organized and cooperatively run the competition.
When the state opted out of hosting the Winter Games, local sports and tourism leaders stepped in.
In 33 years, more than 200 Winter Games athletes have gone on to Olympic and international-level competition, said Jim McKenna, president and CEO of the Convention and Visitors Bureau.
"They use this event to experience a multi-event Olympic feel."
It is, he added, often the highlight of their winter sports activity.
Incoming teams from all corners of New York deliver a unique kind of athletic energy and excitement to Lake Placid, Wilmington, Paul Smiths, Saranac Lake and the towns they visit along the way, McKenna said.
From the delighted screaming in the stands to the inspired awe of competing on Olympic courses, this particular event is about the excitement it generates.
Most New York sporting clubs hold qualifying events to move athletes up to the Empire State Winter Games.
"And the torch run is leading the flame here through the different communities," Blazer added.
A designated competitor, whose name was not released yet on Wednesday, will use that flame to light the torch in the Herb Brooks arena as athletes gather for opening ceremonies at 6 p.m. today.
From that point on, winter venues will be in constant event rotation.
New slope-style activities are also planned at Whiteface Ski Resort in Wilmington, where trails are ready and courses set.
The awards celebration with fireworks is slated for 7 p.m. Saturday in Mid's Park on Main Street in Lake Placid.
The model for these games is Olympic.
"We look at what the International Olympic Committee is doing," said Winter Games spokesman Sandy Caligiore.
The goal is to draw young athletes into a larger field of competition filled with Olympic-sized spirit and camaraderie.
"If we can engage that younger crowd and keep them engaged, we would have done well," he added.
With the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival, Luge World Cup Competition, and the regular winter guests arriving today, the Tri-Lakes area is facing a busy weekend.
The possibility of a big snowstorm Friday just adds to the excitement here.
"We will start dancing in the streets," McKenna said.
"We're a modern resort community. We have the capabilities of dealing with that," Blazer said.
A full house and a full slate of activities look to make for a winter blast.
"As the mayor of Saranac Lake, Clyde Rabideau once said, 'The more the merrier,'" Caligiore quipped. "The more and we're merrier."
Email Kim Smith: firstname.lastname@example.com
A complete listing of events, times and venues is posted online at empirestatewintergames.com and all venues are open to the public.
Results will be updated regularly for each competition.

Places to stay in San Francisco
Your choices in San Francisco hotels are overwhelming. The prices can be too. So during our staff visit to the City by the Bay, we looked for reasonably priced hotels that had charm, location or both. We came back with 14 ideas on places to bed down. It's not a complete list, but it is eclectic, like the city itself.

Seal Rock Inn( Chris Erskine / Los Angeles Times / January 24, 2013 )
This quirky little hotel way out west of downtown is an ideal escape from the clatter of the city. Not plush but spacious, and many rooms are furnished with wood-burning fireplaces. Beachy vibe aided by ocean views and a casual courtyard with table tennis and badminton. Best known as the place Hunter Thompson wrote "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail." "Dawn is coming up at the Seal Rock Inn -- out here at the far end of Geary Street: This is the end of the line, for buses and everything else, the western edge of America," Thompson wrote.

Judge dismisses Rarity-linked bankruptcy
A foreclosure auction is likely for the Rarity Pointe community, after a federal bankruptcy judge dismissed a Chapter 11 filing related to the project.
Reading her opinion from the bench, Judge Marcia Phillips Parsons on Friday said developer Mike Ross did not have the authority to initiate a Chapter 11 proceeding without the consent of his business partners.
While the operating agreement for Tellico Landing LLC -- the entity behind Rarity Pointe -- did not specifically prohibit Ross (or the entity through which he held a 50 percent ownership stake in Tellico Landing) from filing bankruptcy, the judge said member control over such a filing was implicit.
Following the hearing, attorney Lewis Howard said his client, mortgage holder WindRiver Investments LLC, would proceed with a foreclosure "ASAP." Howard said a sale would probably happen in three to four weeks.
Asked if his client was pleased, Howard said, "Absolutely. Perseverance has paid off."
The dispute over Rarity Pointe -- a Lenoir City project backed by Ross, developer Robert Stooksbury and former Knoxville attorney Ward Whelchel -- has been moving on two tracks in the federal courthouse. Stooksbury in 2009 filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court accusing Ross and other defendants of a variety of transgressions, which the defendants denied.
This year, though, Ross was hit with a default judgment in that case after failing to adequately respond to discovery requests, and a jury recommended millions in damages.
This morning's hearing came in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, where Stooksbury has also been working in opposition to Ross.
Asked for comment, Tellico Landing attorney Lynn Tarpy -- who has argued Ross' side of the case -- said the judge "made her decision substantiated by law and facts."
The Rarity Pointe assets in play include a golf course and 184 residential lots. WindRiver had previously purchased the project's debt from SunTrust bank and scheduled a foreclosure sale last year, which was forestalled by the bankruptcy filing.
WindRiver's president is Joseph Ayres, whose son is married to Stooksbury's daughter.

Carriage Towne News
---- — I am writing to the Citizens of Danville regarding the position of Animal Control Officer that is going to be on your ballots on the upcoming vote.
Please fully consider the information the Danville Board of Selectmen (BOS) are giving you as they try to deny the actual facts and costs associated with this position or level of service you are receiving for your very hard earned money.
In a snapshot, Danville is being "hoodwinked" by the Danville BOS. Is this what you want from your elected officials? First, one of your BOS members is running for this position and is also the one person who put this Article 2013-16 to dissolve the ACO position on the ballot. What justice is there in that? One must wonder how she will manage her time to meet all of her obligations, how well will your animal will be treated, and how long will it take.
Reports now being made available from a Right To Know request whereby 93 of the 185 calls were to the Danville ACO which were handled by Danville Police Officers because the Plaistow Regional ACO was not available. The balance of 92 known calls for the year where handled by the Plaistow Regional ACO at the cost of $21.00 per hour. The important point here is that Danville is not getting the service they pay for. Why should Danville police officers perform the ACO's job?
If we use the Plaistow Regional ACO, all of the fines you pay to retrieve your animal goes to support the Plaistow Kennel. So how does having a Regional ACO assist Danville financially? We haven't even addressed the time constraints of a Regional ACO and how and when you can come and pick up your animal.
Last year, the citizens of Danville spoke and made the ACO an elected position; the article was approved 418 to 263. Please keep the ACO a town position.

I had read a lot of reviews about
how great their breakfast/brunch buffet was so I happily made a reservation. We made an early reservation (7:00) because we had other plans that day. The buffet opened at 6:30 and when we got there 30 minutes later only half of the stations were opened and most of the food was already cold. We waited around for almost an hour after we were done to see if they would open more stations and they didn't. The view was the only nice thing about this restaurant. We will not be going back."

This restaurant is located on the
terrace of the JW Marriott Hotel and overlooks the beautiful beach. Menu choices are good with a children's menu as well. What impressed me the most was the value that the menu offered. There are free and unlimited bread, salad, and soup bars. The salad bar was full-featured with lots of good choices, and I could have stopped right there between the fresh bread, delicious clam chowder soup and the awesome salad bar. As far as the kids, not only were they able to use the bread, salad and soup bars, their menu was very reasonably priced and their dessert was included as well. There are a few really good places on Ko'Olina that combine value with quality. Naupaka Terrace at the JW Marriott is one of them."

Naupaka Terrace in the JW Marriott
Ihilani Resort is now that little gem hiding in the beautiful setting adjacent to Disney's Aulani Resort. When dining for brunch there on Sunday - the atmosphere was upbeat without being chaotic, with beautiful ocean view and a breeze way that kept the area cool and comfortable. Service was excellent with the friendly local staff and the cuisine, which included prime rib and a made-to-order omelette station, was as good - if not better - than anything you'll find in Waikiki for the price. A definite winner if you want to celebrate as a couple or with an intimate group. No doubt, visitors staying at Aulani were dining there - just to give you an idea of how good this place is. Make your reservations now!"

We'll go back----------------"

Dining here is a favorite of mine
but, it seems Naupaka Terrace may be falling down in their standards. The food for the most part is very good. The salad bar is superb but, the decor and or arrangement including garnishes and variance of display seems to be declining and appears to be more run of the mill. I've eaten at 2 star restaurants that have pulled off 5 star ambiance because the Chef knew how to display and present the entre's and sides available on menu or from the buffet. Please don't become arragant enough to think you can't be out-done because you are big in the business. Great job to the staff, always kind, respectful and quick. Mahalo."

Our reservation was for 1:00
(brunch was supposed to run to 2:00). We waited a long time for the waitress to come to the table. One of us ordered off the menu and the other ordered the brunch. The brunch selection was good, but the table staff was inattentive. Finally, at 1:45 our waitress told us that they were going to break down the buffet and so I should get anything else I wanted now. I went to the buffet which was not break-ING down, but was already completely broken down except for pastries. I had particularly set my heart on the fresh fruit for dessert, but it had all been cleared away already. For $45, the full buffet should remain open until the last diner has signaled they are finished. "

We had the Sunday brunch at the JW
Marriott in Ko Olina and had a great time. They have a beautiful buffet with numerous choices for breakfast or lunch.

The seafood buffet at the JW

I made the mistake of making a
reservation for Mother's Day dinner with out first looking into the restaurant. It was buffet style and when I asked for a menu I was laughed at. I don't recommend this restaurant for Mother's Day. Honestly after that experience I don't think I'll ever go back. "
Dined on 5/11/2014
Outstanding service, great
food...we came here for their seafood buffet to celebrate an early mother's day dinner. We had a party of 7 and made reservations using open table. We were seated at our reserved time. Our waiter was awesome...took our drink orders right away. Also cleared out our plates soon after we were done with them to make room for our next trip up to the buffet line. Steamed CRAB LEGS were awesome!!! We will definitely be back."
Dined on 5/10/2014
Where can I begin! The food was
quiet amazing, and the sunset was the cherry on the magical night Sundae. The only things that I can say the restaurant could work on is the timing of their waiters. My family and I sat there for literally two and a half hours! Mostly waiting for the food and then waiting on the waiter. He took some time making his way over to our table to check up on us. In the end the night was great and the food was splendid. "

We ate here while we were staying
at the JW Marriott Ihilani and had a nice meal. We skipped lunch so opted for an early dinner, eating at 5:30. They have a daily early dinner special offering 3 entrees. The fresh fish option was very good. All entrees come with the soup and salad bar. Don't be put off but the idea of an old fashioned salad bar- this one is actually good. Service was excellent. "

Prime Rib was medium rare, Onaga was perfect, and the $5 bottle of wine was a Chateau St Michelle, Chardonnay, 2013. Our server was top notch and they gave my mom a Macadamia Nut pie/tart with candle. The salad bar had a good selection, soup du jour was clam chowder and a wonderful bread bar with 6 different toppings. We also enjoyed looking at the sharks and sting rays in the hotel's huge aquarium. Free 3 hour parking with validation. We will be back."

We had brunch here while staying
at the Ko'Olina Resort Condos in April. The service was friendly and responsive and the buffet selection was just the right amount of variety to make me want to visit again. I especially enjoyed making my own fresh-squeezed fruit/veggie juice in the industrial juicer-- nice touch! Definitely try the warm bread pudding at the end to top your brunch off. There was a large tank with huge skate fish and hammerhead sharks at the entrance which is fun for the kids and adults to see. The ambience is bright and the view is mostly of the pool nearby, but from what I recall, you can also gaze into the distance and see the lagoon beyond. We will definitely go again!"

My husband and I had a wonderful
sunset dinner on a Friday night. We arrived early, but we were seated right away without having to wait. We both ordered the prime rib which was flavorful and juicy. This was part of a special promotion that came with a soup and salad bar and an excellent bottle of wine all for a grand total of $65 for both dinners. We asked for an outside table and were seated next to the shark pond overlooking the pool and the coast line- a very romantic setting. Our server Tony was very attentive and friendly, and the dining room supervisor came by each table to make sure customers were happy. All in all a super experience- well worth the painful drive through rush hour traffic."

If your dinner order is at least
$30, you can get a bottle of wine for $5. Nice!"

I haven't been back to Naupaka's
Saturday night Seafood buffet in a year or so & it's gotten an upgrade for sure! King crab legs instead of snow crab. WOOHOO!!! Happy that we got to sit in Scott's section again & received top notch service. He's the BEST! Prime rib was tasty & I can't stay away from the bread/cheese station! I know my uncle was very happy & I look forward to going again soon."

Headed out to the JW Marriott for
a dinner with the family. This restaurant has always delivered on food. Had a prime rib special and it was excellent. The salad bar was awesome Our server was great, and did a good job of checking up on us. We only had one issue with being seated. Happens a lot here (third time!) Took out the stroller in hopes our 1 year old would sleep during the meal. They saw the stroller, had us wait for a while more, but STILL put us in this corner in an area not very friendly to the stroller! The hostess' suggestion was to carry the stroller together. STUPID! Pretty annoying."

Had high expectations for a JW
Marriott restaurant, but the food at this seafood buffet was barely adequate. $145.00 for 2 , we should have been raving about how delicious it was, but sadly it was just the opposite. Everything, including the desserts simply had no flavor...very bland."
Dined on 3/8/2014
The restaurant wasn't full, but
was seated near the exit. Although the server was very nice and accomodating, I think we were overlooked many times (refills on drinks, water) since we were seated in the corner. There was 7 of us so we all observed it. Been dining at Naupaka for years. Brought along 5 other guests (1st visit) and it was a birthday, although they didn't complain about the food, they noticed that the service was slow. One of the servers even spilled water in one our guests and on the floor. Did not even bother to wipe the floor. Food got better, service not too good anymore especially with the price we had to pay. I probably won'get a reply, but hope you get better service."

We enjoyed a delicious brunch in a
relaxing and scenic location with great service ... a definite find for a local couple and a must for visitors."

Disappointing, especially on
V-Day. First, when booking on-line, rsvtn time showed the earliest dinner rsvtn at 9:00 p.m. but when we arrived at 8:15 p.m., the restaurant was not even full & were seated right away. The hostess taking note of our on-line request seated us overlooking the pool. The food was average in taste, but VERY disappointing that the crab was SUPER salty..I could not eat it. For many of us, the crab dish is basically 1/3 of what we eat price wise. When sharing concern w/2 hostesses, they said they will let the chef know, but did not even offer anything in return or tempt to discount our meals. The poke was soft & one of the salad dishes were very welt. Makino Chaya 5 min away would have been a better selection!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
The was decent, not the best but
very enjoyable. The king crab legs were awesome and the poke was very good with their salad bar. The dessert could of been better but the main dishes were good. The price was a little high at $62 buffet but no complaints."

The Volcker rule, a provision named for former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker in the 2010 Dodd-Frank bank reform legislation, could very well be used to scrutinize JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s $2-billion loss. The Washington Times Water Cooler blog asked Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary Schapiro if the SEC would play any role in any federal investigations of JP Morgan regarding that loss.
"As you can imagine, regulators will be very focused on this," she said. The Volcker rule was intended to curb speculative trading by banks and was scapegoated as the reason for the country's economic downfall.
According to Bloomberg News, JP Morgan the loss happened after traders in the London-office altered a betting strategy. An executive told Bloomberg that JPMorgan Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon "wasn't immediately told about their shift in strategy and didn't know the magnitude of the losses until after the company reported earnings April 13."

Janet Novack, Forbes Staff
I write from D.C. about tax and retirement policy and planning.
For retirement advice and tools, whatever your age or assets, visit The Forbes Retirement Guide.
Recently, a 50-year-old friend asked me where to put extra cash he wanted to save for retirement, but was worried he might have to use to pay college bills for his high-school age twins. This fellow had been feeding a 401(k) as well as 529 state college savings accounts for his kids. But he now had extra income from moonlighting and wondered whether he should use it to fund a tax-deductible SEP-IRA (a special individual retirement account for the self-employed), or should pour his extra savings into the 529s.
Simple question? Not when Congress, in its wisdom, has seen fit to create more than a dozen different tax-advantaged retirement savings accounts, each with its own rules on contributions, loans, and when you can take money out without paying a 10% "early withdrawal" penalty on the distribution. Indeed, all those retirement accounts and rules are one of the reasons that National Taxpayer Advocate Nina E. Olson recently singled out tax code complexity as the biggest problem facing taxpayers. (For my advice to my friend—advice which is further complicated by the college financial aid formulas—see the end of this story.)
Of course money you put in a retirement account should ideally stay there until you retire. But life happens. Divorce, job loss, illness, and the real estate crash, to say nothing of the soaring cost of college, have forced many Americans to withdraw funds from retirement accounts early. Buried in an obscure IRS report is this disturbing fact: On their 2010 tax returns, Americans paid an estimated $5.8 billion in penalties on retirement account withdrawals. (That's in addition to the regular tax owed on those withdrawals.)
Still, if you need the cash early, there are a variety of ways (11 are detailed in the slideshow above) to avoid penalties. All that complexity can make you crazy, but it can also work for you—if you can know the rules. One common tactic is to borrow from your own 401(k). The law allows you to borrow up to $50,000 or half your vested balance, whichever is less, and to take up to five years to pay the money back (with interest) to your own account. Employers don't have to offer 401(k) loans, but most big firms do. There is, however, a potential trap: If you leave or lose your job, your ex-employer will likely demand quick repayment and if you can't repay, treat the outstanding balance as an early distribution, subject to penalties.
Another less well-known option: You can avoid the withdrawal penalty at any age, and for any reason, by beginning "substantially equal periodic payments" from an IRA. The catch here is you must continue taking these payments for five years or until you are 59 1/2 (the age you can normally start taking from an IRA penalty free), whichever comes later–even if you no longer need the cash. Incredibly, there are three possible ways to calculate the periodic payout. In the simplest, which produces the smallest annual payout, you divide the IRA's total value by your remaining life expectancy. Claudia Hill, president of Tax Mam, in Cupertino, Calif., and a Forbes contributor, recommends you work backwards. First, figure out how much cash you need and then calculate out how big an IRA will produce that annual distribution. Then, split your IRA, with one piece holding just the amount needed to produce your desired annual payout. Later, if you need still more cash before 59 1/2, you can draw it from the second account, without jeopardizing penalty-free distributions from the first.
Watch out, too, for timing traps. Example: You can take a penalty-free distribution from either a 401(k) or an IRA to cover out-of-pocket medical expenses that exceed 10% of your adjusted gross income. But those expenses must be paid in the same year you take the distribution. (Note: Through 2012, the expenses only had to exceed 7.5% of your AGI. For 2013, that rose to 10% of AGI—along with the threshold for deducting medical expenses—as part of the tax increases in Obamacare.)
So what was my advice to that 50-year-old? Complicating matters is the issue of whether his daughters will qualify for college financial aid. To maximize his eligibility for such aid, my friend should stuff his 401(k) and SEP-IRA before he puts more in his 529s, since colleges don't consider what's already in your retirement accounts when they're calculating how much you can afford to pay for college, and how much aid you might need. By contrast, what's in the 529s will raise the amount the colleges calculate he can pay. (For more explanation, see Save For Retirement Now, Get More College Aid Later.) Anyway, his pre-tax SEP-IRA contributions will reduce his current federal tax bill, whereas money put into a 529 doesn't yield a current federal tax deduction, although it may produce a state income tax break.
Later, if my friend does need to tap into his retirement stash to pay the bursar, he can borrow up to $50,000 from his 401(k), paying it back over time, with interest, to himself. (Since he's got great job security, this isn't a risky move.) After that, if he needs still more college cash, he can take a withdrawal from his SEP-IRA to pay college tuition and fees—he'll owe ordinary taxes, but no penalty, on that withdrawal. (Note the different rules for different accounts—he can't take penalty-free college tuition withdrawals from his 401(k) and he can't borrow from an IRA.) Yet another twist: anything he withdraws from his SEP-IRA raises his adjusted gross income and could reduce his eligibility for college financial aid the year following the withdrawal. So all this has to be carefully timed, with money from a SEP-IRA withdrawn last, if needed, to pay for the twins' senior year college tuition.
Maybe knowing this arcane stuff helps keep me employed. But my friend has more worthwhile things to do with his time and his grey matter than figure this all out—and I'll bet you do too. Are you listening Congress?

I know that I am not getting any younger and the idea of retiring at the corporate world that I am currently in somehow have crossed my mind. It's how the world works you work hard and at the end of the day you'll have the sweetest days indulging in social graces of life or you'll do the opposite and suffer the rest of your life. I somewhat disagree with the latter.
Sometimes it's ironic that we need to get older first before enjoying the real fruit of what we have planted. Well, I'm glad to read this article about effective retirement and on my part, it's been one of my priorities to plan this one out wisely that at the right time I can enjoy all the luxuries I deserve from all the years where I had worked so hard.
You have written exactly and practically all the ways to strike retirement cash in the earlier time. This sounds reasonable and really great ideas to follow. I know some people never care much about their retirement but they missed to know that this thing is most crucial one at the later part of their lives.
Most of the people I meet everyday are seniors so they really are having issues with their retirement may it be good or bad and I am pleased to take care of them.

Free Speech Coalition president Diane Duke argued forcefully against new UK censorship rules at a London roundtable sponsored by Virgin Media. The discussion, "Switched on Families: Does the Online World Make Good Things Happen?" was prompted by UK Prime Minister David Cameron's campaign to censor content at the ISP level. The panel included government representatives, members of the press and supporters of an open Internet. A report on the meeting was printed in the Guardian on Wednesday.
"We applaud the Virgin Media roundtable for taking on a tough issue, and for the Guardian for acknowledging the extent to which these new government-imposed ISP filters can actually harm children," says Duke. "The filters Prime Minister Cameron supports block sexual health sites, they block domestic violence sites, they block gay and lesbian sites, they block information about eating disorders and a lot of information to which it's crucial young people have access. Rather than protect children from things like bullying and online predators, these filters leave children in the dark."
According to a Guardian report, a majority of those participating came away from the panel opposing ISP-level filters. Under the conservative Prime Minister's directive, internet providers in the UK automatically block any content it deems adult in nature. Internet users who wish to not have their content filter must make a special request to their internet provider.
"If government officials want to protect kids from predators and age-inappropriate material, there are proven and effective means to do it," said Duke. "They involve parental control, monitoring and discussions. Unfortunately, none has the political appeal of a 'magic filter' that promises stop things like child abuse, teen pregnancy and sexual assault by merely censoring content."
The panel included representatives from over a dozen groups including the UK Council on Child Safety, the Family Online Safety Institute, and Big Brother Watch. Also participating in the discussion was Member of Parliament Claire Perry, who has long advocated for filters at the ISP level, and whose own site was initially blocked by filters due to repeated use of phrases like "porn" and "sex."
While Duke was optimistic about the discussion, she admits there was a lot of work yet to do.
"There is so much misinformation out there, and the stakes are high. It's important for us to be at the table, and to refuse to let moral panics be used to limit speech."

A group of Parkway high school students left for Washington, D.C., Friday evening for President Barack Obama's inauguration ceremony Monday.
The group is comprised of 84 students from all five high schools and 14 teacher and administrators. Social Studies Coordinator Toby McQuerrey is helping organizing the trip and said it represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"It's really a capstone experience for our students who have been studying American history and government since first grade," said McQuerrey. "[The inauguration of a U.S. President] is significant to the whole world."
By driving through the night on Friday, the students and staff will have time to visit some of the landmarks and museums in the capital on Saturday and Sunday. The swearing-in ceremony itself is set for Monday on the steps of the United States Capitol building and the public is expected to gather on the National Mall.
The mix of students will include supporters of both President Obama and his former opponent, Republican Gov. Mitt Romney. In fact, McQuerrey explained that the students had to sign up for the trip in the spring, long before the presidential race was decided.
In McQuerrey's opinion, the value of the trip isn't attached to a particular set of politics. Instead, it's about being part of such a large crowd with the same energy and purpose. He likened it to attending a huge concert.
"The purpose is to give these students an experience that they feel, because I think that's the kind of memory that lasts," he said.
The entire crew will pack up again on Tuesday morning and drive all day, then it's back to the classroom for teachers and students on Wednesday.
Check back with Patch for interviews with students about their experiences at the inauguration next week.

My Email Digests
To make sure to optimize his sperm quality follow the sperm healthy lifestyle guidelines I've posted under discussions. If you still have concern make sure he has a full workup with a urologist. Male fertility evaluations are often overlooked. Clomid can be given to men to boost sperm production if their sperm counts are a little low. It has also been shown to improve quality of sperm.
Testing on the female side does get expensive and time consuming. Regular cycles are important but without further workups from a RE (reproductive endocrinologist) it is hard to say is you are in fact releasing an egg for a true ovulation. The will also want to check to see if you have any blockage in your tubes that could inhibit the egg from moving down the fallopian tube. This test is known as hsg or hysterosalpingogram. Some couples conceive naturally after the hsg test.
I would start your workups to check if everything is open and functioning on your side. If that checks out okay IUI would be a great place to start with time ovulations. They will be able to ultrasound and check for the release of your egg ensuring your insemination takes place at optimum time for fertility.
Best of luck and please keep us posted.

Thanks for yor response! I reviewed the discussions you listed above.
Just a couple of follow-up questions: 1) what do you mean about determining if I am "in fact releasing an egg for a true ovulation"? 2) Are there any other diagnostic tests I can have done? 3) Is the andrology lab we went to a bit too extreme?
Point#1: I had an HSG and blood work (TSH, FH, LH, estrodyle) and all were normal. I asked an RE about IF I am ovulating since I don't always detect on OPK. He said if I have normal periods (mine are every 26-29 days), I am ovulating. And then he tried to push me into IVF!! ( I kid not, so I am hoping you can provide unbiased, honest, info). I thought I read that NOT all women ovulate every month even w/ normal periods. Is this true?
Point #2: Any tests (not too drastic) I can do next to test issues on my end?
Point #3: Yes, hubby's sperm was 21.3MM/ml. Lab said this was normal as was motility. BUT his "normal sperm forms" were 36% - Lab says 35-39% is 'equivoval' and 40% is normal in this category. Of BIGGER concern is he has 38% "amorphous forms" and lab said over 20% is ABNORMAL.
What are your thoughts on my 3 questions: of other tests for me, is hubby's sperm really ok and how can I make sure I do in fact ovulate??
One last thing: when do you think it's 'time' for IUI? Of course this is personal, but we have been very actively (e.g. tracking, having sex at ovulation, doing OPKs) for 10 months. And before that we were 'trying' w/o all the extra stuff - i.e. just having unprotected sex. Hubby says I am too impatient, but I think we might need to 'step up our game...'
What do you think about the above (esp. the issue of IF I am ovulating)???
Thanks and bless you for helping us!!!
Have you tried a couple months on Clomid with regular intercourse? Any ultrasounds yet to look at your ovaries and signs of ovulation? I think the ultrasounds might be very helpful to just confirm that ovulation is not a problem.
I'm amazed that they already want to just push you into IVF. Okay, not completely amazed since I hear it often but why not try to do a little more investigating and solving the problem. IVF should be your last option after you exhausted all other (less invasive) options.
Back to the male factors. Amprohous forms is usually the easiest to classify and could be why they rate those the highest. Has he had only 1 analysis? I would recommend a second and compare the results to each other. One analysis is hard to predict overall sperm quality. I would also start him on a fertility blend vitamin. If you are willing to give it some time, start the vitamin and take at least 3 months prior to the next analysis. This will give time for a new batch of sperm to be produced, released and seen in the ejaculation. You might also want to look into a male fertility trained urologist to discuss clomid to improve sperm count and quality. I would say investing in 3 months to try to improve a couple parameters on his end sure would be worth the try over just heading into IVF.
Is he overweight? A lot of new studies over the past 6 months linking overweight men and lowered fertility. Some of these studies show good sperm counts and motility but for some reason the sperm just aren't as good at creating a pregnancy when compared to healthy weight men.
I would focus on trying to improve that morphology a little and give it at least another 3 months before starting in on the IUI. Stress can have a big impact on fertility so keep that in mind.
You raise some great points! Now that I understand the ovulation question, I can ask about it intelligently. On my end, very healthy eating, living, etc. Very good weight and BMI (5'5" and 126-130 lbs). Rare drinking, (1-2x/mo), no smoking, etc. Hubby good on "healthy living" too, except he drinks a good amount of caffeine.
We're both 35.
He; however, struggles with weight and his BMI is not good. This is a struggle and he fluctuates quite a bit. He needs to lose at least 30-50 lbs. He had been dealing w/ lots of stress, so you're right this doesn't help. Also, I will try to get him on a fertility blend vitamin (he thinks I keep trying him to do one thing after another). He's had 2 SA's and both show alomist exact amount of "bad" sperm.
We have an appt scheduled for a urologist in a couple weeks and I will try another Dr. for the Clomid with just sex alone, Dr. I went to wouldn't do it (that's the IVF-pusher)! I heard fertility blend vitamins for women with "normal" periods might put your periods of track. Do you agree with this? We are also interested in exploring natural/Eastern 'alternatives.'
Thanks again and will keep you posted.
I feel your frustration.
After a very long time trying, I was able to get pregnant - but unfortunately I had a miscarriage. We are back trying again, so I pray all will work out in the end.
Good Luck to you!

This was no less dangerous than dangling a child from her ankles out a window or driving drunk at 90 mph with a child unrestrained in the car.
I have a lot of sympathy for the child (hopefully she won't remember this), but calling this mother a hero is a bit far fetched. :
Louis, ITA. If I had been a witness, and the mother had actually survived, she'd have had at least 4 new assholes by the time I got done with her. Sheer stupidity. Whatever happened to Safety First?
Ok fine, I get it. A little overly sentimental. But saying the child is better off with a dead mother? Beyond the pale IMO.
What's so unfortunate is that she had a second chance, if you will: the article states it got stuck the first time, she got it free, and then kept going and it got stuck again. For chrissakes, pick the stroller up a few inches and walk with it to be clear of the rails.
In my spare time, I like to interview figure skating legends.
Which, yes, speaking ill of the dead, not in great taste. But not the same as actually claiming the kid is better off without the mother.
Can you imagine the outrage if the Mom made a run for it if she could not get the stroller loose and only the baby was killed? She'd be villified. And if this baby girl did not get free and died with the mother she'd be villified for that too. What I meant was that at least this baby girl does not have to worry about a caretaker putting her life in danger again with such egregious lack of judgment.
It just boggles the mind, because I'm sure we've all seen a movie or tv show where someone does something so predictably stupid like this and pays the price. Why tempt fate? I'm sure this has probably been done before, down to the stroller getting stuck. Too bad Superman didn't arise out of the blue and swoop down and save them... I mean, REALLY, lights and bells are going off, the RR arms go down, and then you have some clueless or reckless mother with a *baby stroller* going through the gates and, quel surprise, it gets stuck and the train keeps blowing it's horn until it runs them down.
I feel sorry that the mother paid the ultimate price for her error in judgment. Who knows, maybe that's the first stupid thing she's ever done in her life. I certainly do not think the child is 'better off' without her mother, but the child might have been better off in the care of someone else like the grandmother with the mother only getting supervised visits. Seriously, who would have done this? On other boards people are criticizing anyone who calls attention to how stupid this was, saying, you all would probably have done the same thing. Uh, no.
When I was growing up a family had a burmese python and two toddlers. I'm sure you can imagine what happened there too. Sometimes people are just SOOOOO stupid, that you get so angry and want to scream. I don't want to sound heartless, but some people are too stupid to live, and in the process they harm others with their stupidity.
Just a very sad tragedy.

my cousin died like this, but there was no baby. he got stuck on the tracks trying to beat it. he didnt work so it wasnt like he had to be anywhere. when people asked how he died, my grandfather used to say natural selection killed him.
I feel like I'm in a dream. But it can't be a dream because there are no boy dancers!
Actual bumper sticker series: Jesus is my co-pilot. Satan is my financial advisor. Budha is my therapist. L. Ron Hubbard owes me $50.

Who knew what her mindset was when she entered the tracks? She could have been panicked about something and in a hurry. And she didn't know the stroller would get stuck. . .
So I don't know how fair it is to judge her stupidity? People do stupid things all the time that could potentially have negative consequences for themselves or some else. Even fatal consequences. Except, most people get away with it.
Yes, of course, she was an absolute idiot. But at least she was willing to pay for her stupidity by putting her child's life first. I just don't think "luck" is compatible with "motherless two year old." That little girl is now without the person pretty much every child psychologist will tell you is the most important in the first three years of life. I damn well hope she's got an awesome dad, grandma and aunties.
As stated...what if both the mother and child had survived? No one would be calling the mother a hero for saving her child, but would be insisting that the child be removed and the mother charged with child endangerment. Of course, if the mother had survived and the baby killed, everyone would be calling for the mother's head.
The mother was not just "stupid". She was reckless...putting herself and, even worse, her child's life in danger. And I don't think people do reckless, life-threatening things all the time--especially when their child's life is involved.
MST3K running commentary and goofy 1950s acting aside, railroad safety video still applies. It's not the train's fault.

Creating the configuration and proxy files: The command line that is given doesn't work because the file output goes to the root directory, and it didn't have write permissions to create the files. Instead it is easier to run the suggested command from the service wsdl page. Open the command line tool from the VS SDK tools.

In Detail
WCF is the Microsoft model for building services, whereas LINQ to Entities is the Microsoft ORM for accessing underlying data storage. Want to learn both? You would normally have to dig through huge reference tomes—so wouldn't you agree that a simple-to-follow practical tutorial on WCF and LINQ to Entities is the way to get ahead?
This book is the quickest and easiest way to learn WCF and LINQ to Entities in Visual Studio 2010. WCF and LINQ to Entities are both powerful yet complex technologies from Microsoft—but you will be surprised at how easily this book will get you get up and running with them.
Mastery of these two topics will quickly enable you to create Service-Oriented applications, and allow you to take your first steps into the world of Service Oriented Architecture without becoming overwhelmed.
Through this book, you will learn what's going on behind the scenes with WCF, and dive into the basic yet most useful techniques for LINQ to Entities. You will develop three real-world multi-tiered WCF services from beginning to end, with LINQ to Entities being used in the data access layer of the services. Various clients including windows console applications, the WCF Test Client, Windows Form applications and WPF applications will be created to test these WCF services. By the end of this book, you will be 100% confident that you know WCF and LINQ to Entities, not only in theory, but with sound real-world experience.
Master WCF and LINQ to Entities in a multi-tier WCF service by completing practical examples and applying them to your real-world assignments
This book is a step-by-step tutorial to guide you through learning WCF and LINQ to Entities. You will be guided to create five WCF and LINQ solutions from scratch, of which three are multi-tiered real-world WCF service solutions, so you will not only be reading, but also be coding through the book, to gain practical experience of WCF and LINQ to Entities. Various test clients will be associated with each solution and these solutions can be built and run independently of other solutions. Clear step-by-step instructions and relevant screenshots will make sure you won't get lost in the new world of WCF and LINQ to Entities.
Configuration files, host applications, test clients, and WCF services for each solution will also be available for download for you to examine, modify, and debug from the outside in.
The book focuses on the essentials of using WCF and LINQ to Entities, rather than providing a reference to every single possibility. It leaves the reference material online where it belongs, and concentrates instead on practical examples, code, and advice.
Who this book is for
This book is for C# and C++ developers who are eager to get started with WCF and LINQ to Entities, and want a book that is practical and rich with examples from the very beginning. Developers and architects evaluating SOA implementation technologies for their company will find this book particularly useful because it gets you started with Microsoft's tools for SOA and shows you how to customize our examples for your prototypes.
This book presumes basic knowledge of C# or C++. Previous experience with Visual Studio will be helpful but is not required, as detailed instructions are given throughout the book.

A month and a half ago after watching Washington State University lose in its annual trek to the West Side, I wrote how first-year Coach Mike Leach was in danger of losing the momentum his hiring instantaneously created to start the year.
Now, it appears, he's inching closer to losing control of the program.
The last two weeks haven't been pretty on the Palouse. From the losses to publicly lining up his offensive and defensive lines for media questioning after a shameful performance to watching his star wide receiver walk out on a team practice, Leach continues to be the center of the national talk about WSU.
And if all that wasn't enough, the college sports world discovered the makings of a mutiny against the Pirate over the weekend.
On Saturday, hours before the Cougars even kicked off against UCLA for Dad's Weekend, that star wide receiver who walked out of practice issued a statement to the media explaining why.
Marquess Wilson, the Cougars' all-time leading receiver and its biggest offensive weapon, claimed that he quit the team because of Mike Leach's "physical, emotional and verbal abuse."
Instead of building up confidence in WSU's players, Wilson charged that Leach and his staff "preferred to belittle, intimidate and humiliate us."
Here's an excerpt of Wilson's statement from AOL Sporting News:
My teammates and I have endured this treatment all season long. It is not 'tough love.' It is abuse. This abuse cannot be allowed to continue…I was raised by my family, and many previous coaches to exhibit dedication and embrace sacrifice, but there comes a time when one has to draw a line in the sand.
It came a week after Leach - following an embarrassing 49-6 loss at Utah - ordered his offensive and defensive lines to answer questions from the media during the post-game press conference. Even though he placed much of the blame on himself and his coaching staff for not preparing the players, the tactic raised eyebrows and even drew criticism from some in the sports world.
But Cougar Nation - of which I am a card-carrying member as a WSU grad - expected to see some quirkiness from the Pirate this season, right? We know there is a method to his madness, and if there were any program in the country that needed an old-school butt-kicking to rediscover success, it was ours.
We also knew Leach had a history of doing and saying whatever he needed to get his point across. Remember the "fat little girlfriends" comment he made at Texas Tech? What about his alleged abusive treatment of Adam James - son of ESPN analyst Craig James - that eventually led to his dismissal as the Red Raiders' head coach?
None of it really mattered when WSU Athletic Director Bill Moos announced Leach's hiring almost immediately after last season ended. The school had scored its big fish. He became the highest paid head coach in school history because he would bring us wins. All of a sudden, the most-isolated, least-sexiest football program in the Pac-12 became Eva Longoria hot.
But as the losses accumulated, the excitement over Leach's hiring and predictions of our first bowl game in a decade faded. As it became clear that this was a (gulp) rebuilding year, the things Cougar fans could count on were Leach's did-he-just-say-that reflections of his team and life in general.
Now, his approach is under fire, and some in Cougar Nation are wondering whether Leach provides the best path to the Promise Land.
Rebuilding is never easy. Sportsies like to use metaphors such as "weeding out" the bad elements and retaining/attracting players who will buy into a winning system. Most importantly, rebuilding often requires creating a (sorry, Pete Carroll) "win forever" culture.
But 18 players who have either quit or been dismissed from the team this season? Is this a rebuilding or a gutting? Either way, it puts a lot of pressure on a team that often must make up ground in the talent-and-athletic-ability department.
I still have faith in Leach. He has proven he can win at a smaller, less high-profile school. I think he knows what he's doing. God, I hope he knows what he's doing.
Otherwise, he could lose the program before he even has a chance to resurrect it. I hope local products like Tana Pritchard and Max Hersey will answer Leach's challenge. I hope the small pool of recruits WSU chooses from doesn't get smaller because parents don't want their sons having to endure abuse that's masked as tough love.
The fans, for the most part, are still siding with Leach. At this point, we might as well go all-in. We don't know exactly what caused the rift with Wilson. Quite frankly, if we start winning, I don't think anyone will care.
But if this program continues to endure bad weeks like the last two, if more players start claiming abuse, then the ghosts of Leach's past will have officially followed him to Pullman. The Pirate's ship will be sunk.
He's not there yet, but he's dancing dangerously close to the edge of the plank.
Let me know what you think, Patchers. Is Leach steering the ship in the right direction, or will he run WSU's ship aground? (I know, I'm getting sick of the pirate metaphors too) Tell us in the comments below.
Brent Champaco is a journalist who claims he can make it as a sports journalist. Don't let him fool you.

A man pretending to be a Sheriff's deputy in the Renton area fled after he ran into a real deputy Friday, the King County Sheriff's Office said Sunday.
The man allegedly questioned residents at an apartment complex shortly after 10 p.m. in the 14600 block of Southeast 176th Street about a person he said was an auto theft suspect.
Residents said the imposter wore a navy t-shirt with the label "SHERIFF," had a holstered revolver, walkie talkie-like radio and a knife in his pocket, the Sheriff's Office said.
The residents called 911 to report they thought the man may be impersonating a deputy.
A deputy arrived and called out to the man, who ran behind a fence, and is believed to have fled in a nearby vehicle, the Sheriff's Office said.
The alleged impersonator is described as a Hispanic man in his 30s, 5 foot 8, 180 pounds, with dark brown hair and olive skin, the Sheriff's Office said.
Anyone with information is asked to call (206) 296-3311.
