Programs at local schools received a huge boost from the Bullard Education Foundation, which visited campuses Monday to announce grants they've awarded.
Among the four Bullard High School recipients was Kris Shustella, instructor of a self-contained special needs program that serves 78 students.
Shustella said the $4,988.14 Campbell Custom Honors Grant would be used to make his classroom "cutting edge" to better serve his students.
"It's for a multi-sensory environment for special-needs students, from simple things like switching the fluorescent lighing to LED lighting, because (fluorescent lighting can agitate students), or longer-term projects like adding swings and providing updates to our sensory room," he said.
The sensory room – affectionately known as the "peace-out room," he said, smiling – provides a healing place for students by allowing them to use all five senses to become calm when they need it.
According to foundation president Darren Davis, who helped coordinate Monday's event, the non-profit foundation created five years ago to benefit the Bullard public schools is funded completely by donations, with volunteers serving on the board.
It began awarding grants four years ago and has distributed $140,000 to date, he said.
This year, $38,900 in grant money was distributed to teaching staff at the different BISD campuses, for a total of 20 grants.
"We focused on those innovative programs not normally funded by the district," Davis said. "I hate to use the term 'outside the box,' but these programs were definitely outside the box."
Primary campus grant recipients include: Natalie Norman, who received a $245.55 grant for Pre-K Smartboard Games software, a hands-on interactive learning program; the Bullard kindergarten teaching team, which was awarded a $4,700 WRL Grant for Bus Brainiacs, which will provide TV monitors in kindergarten hallways to allow learning opportunities while students wait for their buses; and a $298.89 grant to Stacy Golden for the purchase of Learning Game Libraries, which offers 80 games that cover specific state-mandated skills.
At the Bullard Intermediate campus, grants were awarded to: Debbie Wilbanks, who received $1,560 for purchase of a Smartboard for the campus visual arts classroom; Bonnie Horrick received $799 for purchase of Gizmos, a virtual teaching tool that helps students increase inquiry and investigation beyond current constraints; Andrea Shustella and Sharla Rounsavall received a $2,484 Woodmen of the World Grant for the purchase of six iPads for the campus reading program; Angela Talley received a $650 grant for Mixbooks, allowing students to design and publish their own books; Terra Lee, a $4,935 grant for purchase of 15 iPad Minis for use in math and language arts classes; Loree Green and Kenya Johnson, a $1,517.40 grant for purchase of 60 "Return to ScienceSaurus" hardcover books; and Stacey Russell, a $2,240 grant for purchase of five iPads for the campus social studies program.
Rachel Crain was awarded a $600 grant to help underwrite a middle school field trip to the Dallas Museum of Art.
Grants awarded for elementary campus programs include those to: Lisa Williams, $1,241 for video streaming equipment and subscription; Teresa Green, Bonnie Martin and April Smith, who each received $1,000 grants for the purchase of two iPad 2 tablets; and Jennifer Carlile, $2,500 for supplies to supplement the district PAWS program.
High school faculty, besides Kris Shustella, who received grants were: Stacey Gwartney and Alana Cannon, $4,998 for a green project solar car entry and $1,000 to Gwartney for an FTC Robotics Competition entry fees; and Laura Hunter, $987 for college campus visits for seniors interested in technical fields.

When I started work here in 2006, veterinarians were arguing over the impact that online pharmacies and big-box retailers
would have on their revenue. Generic drugs for $4, retail loss leaders on preventives, and Internet shopping had everyone
wondering if a sizable chunk of any practitioner's revenue should still be vaccines, flea and tick preventives, and drugs
that compete with generics.
Pet owners today want the best of both worlds when it comes to veterinary practice: They want to be able to take your recommendations
and prescriptions and shop for a lower price somewhere else. And other times, they want to fill a prescription or buy a product
right then from you.
And because Denise Tumblin could very well have you rethinking your practice inventory and pharmacy options, why not also
dig into your client reminder system and practice software in this issue? Reminders are a criminally underused way of getting
clients in for needed wellness visits, checkups, and flea, tick, and heartworm preventive maintenance. Your software can help.
But maybe you're really old- school. Maybe you think all the magic happens in the exam room. Well, our 2012 article contest
winner, Dr. Jeremy Keen, has you covered. Go answer his eight questions in this issue. Make sure you're saying "yes" to every
one, as his client communication tips represent simple yet oft-forgotten ways to improve compliance, bond with patient and
client, and make sure you're using the most important tool in your practice: your medical training and your communication
And, since it's Thanksgiving this month, I'd like to give thanks to you—our readers, our online users, our writers, and our
innovative sources—who share ideas and insight with us every day. You help make veterinary medicine a rewarding and financially
viable profession with your medical and business know-how. We couldn't do it without you.

Massachusetts prison officials must provide a publicly funded sex reassignment surgery to an inmate serving a life sentence for killing his wife, a federal judge in Boston ruled Tuesday.
The decision, handed down by U.S. District Court Judge Mark Wolf, is believed to be the first such order by a judge in the nation, lawyer Frances S. Cohen of Bingham McCutchen LLP of Boston, said by telephone. Cohen is one of the attorneys representing Michelle Kosilek, who lives as a woman in an all-male prison.

Anyone with previous dog experience would be best for this fun and lively guy!

Bob Redell reports on the next rain storm, expected Thursday evening, to hit the Bay Area.
Grab your umbrella. And maybe a sandbag or two.
Round 2 of the series of Bay Area storms through Monday is expected to hit Thursday evening and last through Friday morning. Round 2 is expected on Saturday.
That is why Elaine and Ramone Ware of San Jose picked up a few sandbags early Wednesday, to prevent water from leaking into their home.
"The back patio water rises up to the slider door," Ramone Ware said. "We're just taking one layer to keep water out of of the TV room."
The Bay Area storm, dubbed round No. 1, made its way out of the region by lunch on Wednesday and wasn't as bad as many had predicted. But there is more to come.
NBC Bay Area meteorologist Christina Loren outlined what's in store for the next system.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Gov. Steve Beshear says he tried to juggle
his schedule to join President Barack Obama at Fort Campbell even
though he wasn't invited.
Beshear said he didn't feel he needed an invitation to greet
Obama during his visit to the Army base in Kentucky where the
commander in chief met with the Navy SEALs who killed Osama bin
Beshear, who is seeking re-election this year, told reporters
Thursday that he didn't snub the president and that the president
didn't snub him.
Beshear did nothing at the time to dispel the accusation that he
had snubbed Obama, even though it was widely circulated through the media.
Beshear's Republican opponent, David Williams, accused Beshear of deliberately misleading the public to improve his political
standing in a state where Obama is unpopular.

The plane ride was wonderful! We had little layover and just one stop for a great price!
This was not our first time to Boston, but it is always a treat with such an exciting list of things to do and see. History just seeps out everywhere and the food is so good!
The people are friendly and helpful, as they are on the Cape.
We stayed in Harwich Port and I never wanted to leave!!!! It is quaint, but full of things to do and see. People there are so accommodating, and the drivers actually blink their lights at you and allow you to turn in front of them. Also, pedestrians are catered to and one feels very safe crossing streets! The beach is kept clean and the water is welcoming even for non-swimmers like myself. The beauty of it all was breath taking. I was amazed at the beautiful flowers everywhere!! I think you can tell by now that I loved each and every part of our trip. We will definitely return!! And if you get the chance, the historical society in West Harwich was not only kind and helpful, they were so knowledgeable that they were able to help my husband find a cemetery full of his ancestors, and land they owned and farmed. It left us in awe of the wonders of MA! Rentals within walking distance of the beach, town, and sites are very reasonable. Such a variety of foods, too!
The airport is accommodating, rental car people are more than helpful, but book your flight early on as it is a very popular place!

At A Glance: Sometimes, in order to be great, your rug needs to back off and be a facilitator rather than the star of the show. Here's your solution, folks. Made of 100 percent hand-woven wool, this plush rug is a striking accent that won't go unnoticed. The Tahoe Rug is available in 6 neutral earthtone colors.

Mayo —
For 63-year-old Mary "Joyce" Michel life has taken on a glorious new meaning since she received a transplanted liver this past December. Her two daughters, Cari Hardison and Penny Quetel, said it was the best Christmas present ever and that the entire family will be forever grateful for all the support and generous donations from the local community during Michel's darkest moments.
Michel agreed to an interview on Friday, Jan. 11 at Old Florida Company Coffee House. Her two daughters Hardison and Quetel, family friend and chief fundraiser Sheri Mims, and coffee house owner Linda Partney were by her side.
Michel is now sporting a smile a mile wide, something she hasn't been able to do for quite some time. She explained that her troubles started about two years ago when she had her gall bladder removed and doctors noticed there was something wrong with her liver.
After that surgery, Michel said, she began to feel "different."
"I wasn't myself," she said.
Her family, she said, thought she had gone off her rocker because of some of the things she was doing while having an episode, such as storing frozen vegetables in the cupboard instead of the freezer, and basically acting like a two-year-old.
"We were thinking dementia or stroke," said Hardison.
Michel said one time when she was in the hospital she told her husband to go out and steal a car in the parking lot and take her home.
Her body was filling up with fluids to the point she couldn't turn over or sit up, so the fluids had to be surgically removed. One time, she said, they removed 10 liters. Another time, while at home, her body had filled up with so much fluid it was difficult for her to breathe, which resulted in a trip to the emergency room.
Michel's name was placed on the liver transplant list at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville late last year. Two separate times the family received the much anticipated phone call to bring Michel in because a liver was available. Unfortunately, Michel's potassium levels were so off kilter that surgery was out of the question. Doctors feared her heart would be too stressed to survive the surgery.
Two more times the phone calls came in from Mayo Clinic that a liver was available for her and it was back to Jacksonville with everyone's fingers crossed.
Meanwhile, her dying liver was causing massive amounts of ammonia to collect in her brain, a common side effect of liver disease. She was given a drug called lactulose which flushed the ammonia out of her body.
"I had to take it every day, sometimes twice a day," said Michel. "It was like water and caused diarrhea. I couldn't even stand up."
Michel's condition severely deteriorated toward the end of 2012, and she was admitted to a hospital in Gainesville right after Thanksgiving where she stayed for a week and a half. Hardison said her mother was becoming very aggressive, hallucinating and "just losing it." The family, she said, simply couldn't control the situation. They were afraid for her safety and the safety of others. As Michel's condition continued to worsen the family made a decision.
"We went and got her out of Gainesville because as long as she was there they had to take her temporarily off the transplant list because she was in another hospital," said Hardison. "We had her home a few hours and then took her straight to Jacksonville."
Michel was admitted to the Mayo Clinic and placed in restraints because she was so violent and uncontrollable, even kicking the nurses. With no suitable donor livers available, at one point doctors discussed with Michel and her family the possibility of implanting a high risk liver from a prostitute or prison worker because her time was running out.
A week after Michel was admitted to the Mayo Clinic the family was called to come get her and take her home. Hardison said she and her sister hopped in the car again and took off for the hour and a half drive over to Jacksonville. When they arrived to Michel's hospital room, Hardison said her mother was pitching a fit because she was just told by the nurse that they weren't going to let her go home after all.
Minutes later, the nurse came in and explained why. They had a liver coming in.
"That made her happy," said Hardison. "That was the one. That was December the seventh and at five o'clock in the morning they took her into surgery."
Hardison said she was certain, had that liver not come in when it did, her mother would have died. The surgery took about five hours and during that time Hardison and her family anxiously awaited news from the doctors about Michel. Those five hours in the waiting room were pure torture for the family, she said. They were torn between being happy for Michel because she was about to get a life-saving liver, and yet they felt sad for the other families in the waiting room who were crying because they had just received bad news about a loved one.
Alas, those five hours of waiting had a happy ending. Michel survived the transplant surgery. The new liver was a perfect fit and it was properly functioning. She spent about three weeks in the hospital recovering and was released two days before Christmas. For the next week and a half she stayed at a nearby hotel with her family so they could be close to the hospital for outpatient aftercare and finally removal of all the drainage tubes.
"Then they say, 'You can go home!'" Hardison said with a huge smile on her face.
On Saturday, Jan. 5, Michel was back at home in Luraville.
Now it is once a week trips to a local doctor for blood tests, and once a month back to Mayo Clinic for a checkup. Within the next several months Michel said she will be taken off the majority of the medications she is on. The anti-rejection medicine, however, is something she will be on for the rest of her life. As time goes by and as Michel continues to get better and stronger, those doctor visits will dwindle down to about once a year.
"She got another life," said Hardison. "We got our mama back."
One of the first things Michel said she did when she got home was to toss the bottle of lactulose in the garbage.
Hardison said the only thing that got her mother through this ordeal and the deep depression she was immersed in was the knowledge that so many people were pulling for her.
"That and God," Michel interjected.
There were many times, Hardison said, that her mother was brought to tears when she heard how the local community had stepped up to help raise funds. During Pioneer Days the family held a raffle donation for various items, including a skateboard and a rifle. Mims said many children ages six to 18 stopped by the booth.
"Even though they donated the money to buy a raffle ticket, they didn't want the raffle ticket," said Mims. "They just wanted to donate the money. I was so proud of all those kids."
The same thing happened at the ReJoyce Benefit Store, which brought in about $650. Partney said many folks didn't come to buy anything. They just wanted to donate money.
The donation jar at the coffee house garnered another $50 and local donations from the raffle amounted to nearly $1,100. Those funds helped the family pay for the hotel room in Jacksonville and transportation back and forth to the Mayo Clinic.
Mims said even Ted Yoho, U.S. Representative, District 3, came by the booth and bought a rifle raffle ticket. He told the family they could personally call him anytime if they needed anything. Yoho wound up winning that raffle and he said he was going to donate the rifle to a family member.
"The community was amazing," said Hardison. "They just opened up their hearts."
"She's a walking miracle," said Partney.
Michel said, "It's like giving my life back to me. I'll be able to enjoy my grandkids. I want to be around when they get married or go to college. I want to be there with them and share their joy."
Michel still has a long road to complete recovery as her body adjusts to the new liver. The next step is to get well enough to have yet another surgery to repair a dislocated shoulder, the result of a fall she took at home prior to the transplant surgery.
Michel wants others to know that as bad as things can get, don't ever give up hope. As for Mary "Joyce" Michel in 2013, she has definitely been ReJoyced!
A time to ReJoyce-The fifth time was a charm

This old wall phone is in beautiful shape throughout!! Have had it for about 20 years and never hung it up so have decided to sell it. It is very heavy, so must be hung on a sturdy location! It is made of oak to the best of my knowledge. My guess is that it is from the late 1800's or early 1900's. It is an authentic antique, not a reproduction. Because of it's weight, it will have to be picked up at our home. Would probably be quite expensive to ship. Phone is all there to the best of my knowledge ...

JOPLIN, Mo. —
After a two-day trial, a Jasper County jury on Tuesday found Dustin Snow guilty of felony child abuse and recommended a two-year sentence.
A sentencing assessment report has been ordered and formal sentencing is set for Aug. 30.
Snow, 27, of Lafayette, was living at 2024 S. Pennsylvania Ave. on Aug 10, 2010, with his girlfriend, her 15-month-old child and an older sibling. The children were in the care of Snow at the time.
According to a probable-cause affadavit, while in Snow's care "the baby received cruel and inhumane punishment."
The child sustained bruises to his left eye, extreme swelling to the left side and the back of the head, as well as bruises to the exterior and interior of both ears. The swelling was so bad, in fact, that it was feared the child would suffer brain damage and the victim was airlifted to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City.
Dr. Terra Frazier of Children's Mercy, stated in the affadavit that the victim's injuries were consistent with child abuse.
According to the affadavit, Snow told investigators that he had gone outside to smoke and that when he returned the 15-month-old victim was lying down in bed, and he suspected the victim's 3-year-old sister had pushed him off the couch.

Valpo's Koepke Named to AFCA Good Works Team
Wednesday, September 13, 2006Valparaiso University's Ryan Koepke (Fort Wayne, Ind./Homestead H.S.) is among 11 NCAA 1-AA, II, II, and NAIA football players selected to the American Football Coaches Association Good Works Team.
The redshirt sophomore is one of only two players on the team that is not a senior, and is Valpo's first selection ever to this team dating back to the award's inception in 1992.
Koepke, a starting linebacker for the Brown and Gold, has worked at Camp Watcha Wanna Do, a week long camp for children who are cancer patients or survivors. In addition, he has participated in the Hands of Hope International Medical Mission Trip to Guatemala, is a member of Interfaith Hospitality Network where he has helped prepare meals, entertained children and served as an overnight host that provides shelters in local churches for homeless families. Koepke has also helped lead the Valpo football players into the local elementary schools to read to children, has been a member of Habitat for Humanity, and participated in various fund-raising walks.
On the field, Koepke is the Crusaders' leading tackler this season with 16 stops, including three for loss. Last year, he finished seventh on the team in tackles with 41 and was named to the Pioneer Football League Fall Academic Honor Roll.
To be selected for the team, nominees have to be actively involved and committed to working hard with a charitable organization, service group, or involved in other community service activities. They need to display sincere concern and reliability, while also having made a favorable impression on the organizations with which they are involved.

'Unleashing' technology could slash deficit by $200B, report says
Better leveraging technology in a handful of key areas could help solve pressing national challenges, improve the quality of government services and reduce the federal deficit by more than $200 billion. That's the main takeaway from a collection of reports that make up the 2012 Quadrennial Government Technology Review, commissioned by the American Council for Technology-Industry Adivsory Council's Institute for Innovation. Anne Reed and Molly O'Neill, the two co-chairs of the institute's steering committee, and Wendy Henry, a member of the steering committee, joined In Depth with Francis Rose to discuss the reports' findings.

ASHTABULA — L. W. "Buz" Steward, age 90, passed away peacefully Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2013.
Born Jan. 26, 1923, in Erie, Pa., he was the son of Edwin and Cora Jane (Work) Steward and spent his early years in Conneaut and Ashtabula, Ohio, before the family moved to Jefferson, where he excelled as a hurdler and pole vaulter for the track team.
After graduating from Jefferson High, he went to work on the Great Lakes for a year before enlisting in the U.S. Navy and served aboard the Destroyer Escort, USS Coates during World War II.
In 1944, he married his high school sweetheart, Dorothy (Dody) Sidley.
While working as a draftsman for the city of Ashtabula, he learned how to draw house plans and this became his hobby. He drew the plans for the Kingsville Gazebo, and the Flying Saucer Gas Station, as well as many local plazas.
Throughout the fifties and sixties while working his way up to Engineering Supervisor at the Lake Shore, then East Ohio Gas Co., he also owned and operated the Ashtabula Janitorial Service.
He was a 32nd degree Mason and a member of Harris Memorial Presbyterian Church.
As an avid painter in oils, his favorite subjects were covered bridges and clipper ships.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his sister, Lucille Andrews; brothers, Dick and Ernie; and a son, John, and daughter, Julie.
Survivors include his wife; and children, Jim (Cindy) and Joel (Jennifer), Jane (Bill Palma), and Jacqueline (David Brais); and grandchildren, Madeline and Halley Steward.
A special thank you to all of the kind folks who took care of our dad for us.
A Family Service will be held at a later date.
The Ashtabula Home of FLEMING & BILLMAN FUNERAL DIRECTORS & CREMATORY, INC., 526 W. Prospect Road, Ashtabula, is in charge of arrangements.

Advisor, speaker & author
In the realm of personal finance, no word has been dragged through the mud more times than the A-word—Annuities. Yet annuities survive and even thrive. How they do is not a mystery. There is not an outcry on the part of consumers demanding annuity products. The reason for the continued vibrancy of annuity sales is that they pay a big honkin' commission to the selling broker or agent. As some wise person once said, "Annuities are not bought, they're sold."
Some esteemed colleagues of mine will roll their eyes and suggest I employ more tact, that I'm too hard on annuities and those who sell them. But it's our job as financial advisors to be hard on financial products. Truthfully, the vast majority of financial instruments out there (not just annuities) exist primarily for their own benefit—for the benefit of the companies that create them and the salespeople that sell them—not yours, and it's my job to help you find the products that are right for you…not to toe the industry line. Indeed, there are good and appropriate uses for some annuity products, but let's first define annuities.
An annuity is an investment product through an insurance company. There are four primary types:
Immediate Annuities are investment products that accept a lump-sum contribution from you and create a stream of income in return. You can specify the time period over which the annuity pays out—it could be over your lifetime or for a set period as few as five years.
Fixed Annuities function much like a CD, offering a static fixed rate of return or a rate that may vary depending on prevailing interest rates, but never falling below zero.
Variable Annuities function much like a basket of mutual funds. The annuity offers a cafeteria-style set of stock, bond and balanced investment options called sub-accounts that rise and fall in value.
Equity Indexed Annuities are highly complex instruments that seemingly offer you the potential for market upside with no downside. If your too-good-to-be-true meter is pegging, it's for good reason.
OK, first the good news. All annuities offer tax-deferral. From the time you put money into an annuity product, any future taxable interest or gains are locked into the product and cause no annual taxable event. That tax event is visited upon you when you take distributions which will be discussed in the disadvantages section.
Immediate annuities offer a real and genuine benefit that often can't be found in any other product—an actuarially created stream of income whose "rate of return" can rarely be outdone by any other conservative fixed income vehicle because it is returning both your principal and any gains. Some of the most attractive features of variable annuities often involve a similar form of annuitization.
Fixed annuities offer principal protection—a pledge not from the U.S. government, but from the insurance company—a much desired investment feature in today's markets. They also tend to offer longer terms than CDs and may, at times, offer higher rates. Variable annuities also attempt to offer a form of principal protection. Your policy may have a death benefit attached—which means that if you invest $100,000 and lose $20,000, you'll get your money back…after you die. Recognizing the inherent disadvantages of that benefit, many insurance companies now offer a "living benefit guarantee" that allows you to receive lost principal during your lifetime, for a price and typically over several-to-many years.
And as for Equity Indexed Annuities, there are no known benefits, unless blissful ignorance is your thing.[i]
Where to start? Well, most of the advantages of annuities turn into disadvantages down the road. Yes, you get tax deferral during the accumulation phase of an annuity (if you are, indeed, accumulating), but when you take distributions, there are two nasty surprises. First, every penny of gain inside of an annuity is taxed at ordinary income rates—your marginal tax rate, personally—even if the gains were in equity-driven "funds" or sub-accounts in a variable annuity. If you're in the top tax bracket of 35%, that's 20% higher than long-term capital gains rates. Second, annuities receive Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) treatment. So, if you invested $100,000 and it grew to $150,000, the first $50,000 you withdrawal will all be taxed—because the last thing "in" was your gains.[ii]
In exchange for the tax deferral, you'll be waiting until age 59 ½ until you can take any gains out of the policy without paying a 10% penalty—similar to a Traditional IRA. Furthermore, annuities create a tax time bomb for your heirs as there is NO step-up in cost basis. So, the Apple stock you bought at the bottom will transfer to your heirs with a cost basis equivalent to the stock's price on your date of death, while any gains in your annuities will require your heirs to pay taxes to get your inheritance.
This article contains factually incorrect statements indicative of a non-expert author that can only edit something copied and pasted from another error filled source.
After over two decades in the craft of advice, the ONE product that produces more unsolicited client referrals and unsolicited repeat business than any other is the Index Annuity.
The word annuities is alot like the word drugs. While it conjures up many feelings, it is also broad and unspecific. You did explain the different types of annuities, and gave some pros and cons. However, I do not believe you can say – your "biggest beef with annuities is illiquidity" when in fact your biggest beef is with annuities that actually have long surrenders. Not all annuities have long surrenders, some are fully liquid. Also, annuities are designed for a portion of people's assets. Perhaps some people maintain liquidity outside of the annuity. Believe me, I understand the pros and cons, but I am not sure your article does a good job explaining what type of person might need one or not.
Let me go back to my drug example. My biggest beef with drugs is that they can be addictive…well – not all drugs are, and someone may read that and think they shoudn't take OTC cough medice. Perhaps a better way to set it up is, some drugs are highly addictive, contact a professional to see what is best for you. Perhaps you could have warned people to only use trusted advisors and help them figure out if an annuity works for them. For some they will be great – even with different tax treatments. For others they will not. Your bias is clear, and I believe unbalanced.
You are correct about bias. We should have it and it should be well informed. Perhaps we are looking at things a little differently – to your comment "whenever possible, we'd prefer to live life without them" referring to drugs (annuities) – I would disagree. I think we would prefer to live without the ailment. If you have a chronic illness that requires drugs to treat it, its not the drugs we want to live without – it's the illness. As for annuities, people would rather live without market fluctuations that puts their income at risk – not the solution that helps people overcome some of those risks.
So perhaps some of their money is illiquid. You mentioned that tax deferral and deductions are worth locking up some of your money for IRA's and 401ks. Don't you think some people (even most people) would find it worth it to lock up some of their money if they were promised a stream of income for life? (Especially those looking down the barrel of a 30 year retirement) All I'm trying to say – there are very good reasons to buy them, and very good reasons to avoid them, each person should speak to a professional – not just avoid them all together.
I too have enjoyed this exchange. You are a true pro.
It is always amazing to how all the gurus in the world always write books and offer their "GREAT" opinions on how and what to do but when a down turn happens in the market and wipes out peoples life savings you got nothing because you could not predict or save any of their money… I will agree with the fact that not all your money should ever be in one product but unless you can guarantee no loss of money for anyone you should not belittle a product that can… long surrender charges are bad… however there is in most cases a 10% per year free withdrawal with most annuities and once the surrender time is up all the money is accessible… I have been in this business long enough to know that there are a lot more "financial advisor" who push the company line of mutual funds than there are ones selling annuities… why don't you spend time picking on those guys that every Monday morning listen to their corporate cheerleaders telling which funds to sell the most of this week and pick on those "investment vehicles"
also, you would have more credibility in your article if you did not promote your book… and knock any product but focus on what is good and what is good about it. luckily not enough good people read these articles to be misguided by people like you…
every industry has good and bad in it. if you pick a bad mechanic to install your brakes you could crash on the highway, I guarantee you that it was not the pads or rotors that caused the accident. so stop knocking product since it makes you sound like you are promoting other products and focus on solutions.
there is no one solution to every person and telling people one way or another that one product is better than another is a joke… you do a disservice to the profession of planning by your article. most planners are good people that want their customers to succeed.
and your claims on high commissions with annuities… how much commission does a mutual fund bring in over the same time period a person would have a surrender charge in an annuity… answer: about the same… so you are also being a hypocrite…
you seem to have an answer to all that preceded me here… you get paid to sensationalize… how about some responsibility and give people good advise and explanations of options instead of knocking things down… your claim is that you studied annuities and realized they are bad… smarter people than you studied them and disagree… check out the link below… http://www.ifid.ca/pdf_newsletters/SEPT2009RESEARCH.pdf
If you actually had to back up your words I firmly believe you would not make the claims you make.
Tim, the people who need to read your article probably won't. But they will attend the free lunch seminars sponsored by annuity salesmen and end up buying investments they really don't understand.
Next time you get a solicitation to attend a free financial planning seminar, throw it in the trash. I get one at least once a month. Also, get your name on the DO Not Call List.
If you have a 403B annuity plan through your school district or other non-profit organization, see if less expensive options are available.
Not all seminars are bad and not all annuities are bad… I am not defending annuities because I sell them… in fact every product I sell has its flaws..
Not all cars are bad
not all contractors are bad
not all grocery stores are bad
not all mortgages are bad
not all Yugo's are bad
not all_______are bad
it is knowing what to expect and educate yourself on what you are buying… people bought "bad loans" for houses they could not afford… was it the loan or was it what THEY wanted to live in that caused their issue (I am referring to them not being able to afford the house)…
annuities serve a purpose for people who need them… if you can not control or manage your money with all the study that goes into it than an annuity may be an answer otherwise there are alternatives…
as far as agents selling them for the commission… lets assume an annuity pays 6% commission, so on a 100k annuity the agent makes 6k… if you give it to another "fee" based advisor he will typically charge 1% per year… so over the next 10 years you pay 10k which is more than 6k and that is only if the value of the original 100k did not go up… the annuity typically pays one commission up front or a much lower one up front like 3 to 4% and then 1% to 2% over the life of the annuity… My point is that regardless of where your money is you will pay approximatly the same fees and whoever sold them to you will make approximatly about the same. However, the right annuity lets all the 100k work for you where the 100k in other vehicles has its commission deducted, typically, right at the beginning "load" and you have less working for you.
so go to the seminars and have a free lunch or dinner and ask a lot of questions… educate yourself and don't believe every guy that can right a good sounding article as a guru… he has to sell books you know…

"I had an opportunity today to go to the White House with Speaker Boehner and the other leaders in the House and the Senate. We had a very serious discussion with the President. His request was for all of us to be very mindful of the challenges that we face and to have an adult conversation to come to a resolution. Then the President delivers a speech in which the only concrete proposal that he offered was raising taxes. That solution falls far short of dealing with the kind of debt crisis that we're facing in this country. Raising taxes is not what we need right now two days before tax day, especially while we are trying to get job creators back into the game.
"We're serious, we've got the Ryan budget plan on the floor this week. We've laid out our specific vision on how to manage down this debt, to get our economy back on track and to brighten the future for our kids. That's what we're about, and we're serious. We care about these entitlement programs, that's why we are trying to preserve the safety net. We have spoken to the specifics. Mr. President, we are serious, where are you?"
