5 tax breaks you shouldn't forget
If you went to college, hired child care or moved, you may be able to deduct at least some of your expenses. See other lesser-known deductions you don't want to overlook.
With the tax-filing deadline coming up soon, I'm still getting a lot of questions from people about potential tax breaks. Before you file, see if you're eligible for the following deductions and tax credits.
Tax breaks for college costs
The American Opportunity tax credit can lower your tax bill by up to $2,500 if you spend at least $4,000 in tuition, required fees, books and course materials for the year. It applies to the first four years of postsecondary education.
To qualify, you must have a modified adjusted gross income of less than $160,000 if you are married filing jointly, or $80,000 if you are single (the credit phases out completely at $180,000 for married couples and $90,000 for single filers). (Post continues after video.)
The Lifetime Learning Credit applies to all years of postsecondary education (including graduate school) and can lower your tax bill by up to $2,000 per return. To qualify for the full credit, your modified adjusted gross income must be less than $100,000 if you are married filing jointly or $50,000 if you are single. The size of the credit phases out until your income reaches $120,000 if you are married filing jointly or $60,000 if single.
Extra credit for saving
If you contributed to a traditional or Roth IRA, a 401k or another retirement savings plan, you may qualify for the retirement savers' tax credit, which can reduce your tax bill by up to $1,000 per person. To claim the savers' credit for 2011, your adjusted gross income must be $28,250 or less if you're single, $42,375 or less if you file your tax return as a head of household, or $56,500 or less if you are married filing jointly.
Credit for child care
If you have kids under age 13 and pay for care while you work, you could qualify for the child-care tax credit. You can count up to $3,000 in child care expenses for one child or up to $6,000 for two or more children.
The size of the credit gradually shrinks as your income increases. Families who earn less than $15,000 can claim a credit for 35% of qualifying expenses; families who earn more than $43,000 can get a credit for 20% of eligible costs. Expenses that count toward the credit include day care, preschool, before-school and after-school care, summer day camp and a nanny or other baby sitter.
You may also be able to take a credit worth up to $200 if you've maxed out the money from your flexible-spending account to pay for child care and you have two or more children and spent more than $6,000 on their care.
Out-of-pocket charitable deductions
Most people remember to deduct checks they paid to charity if they itemize. But you can also deduct the expenses you incurred in helping out a charity, such as the cost of ingredients for a dish for a soup kitchen, stamps for a mailing, copying and car mileage (14 cents a mile). And don't forget to count any money you've had transferred automatically from your paychecks to charity.
Moving expenses
If you move because of a job, you may be able to deduct your moving expenses even if you don't itemize. To qualify, you must be moving at least 50 miles farther from your old home.
You can write off the cost of hiring movers (or renting a moving truck), plus the cost of one-way travel to your new home for everyone in your household. Deductible expenses include airfare, train costs or car mileage (for 2011, 19 cents a mile from January through June and 23.5 cents a mile from July through December).

How to do xtabond2: An introduction to difference and system GMM in Stata
AbstractThe difference and system generalized method-of-moments estimators, developed by Holtz-Eakin, Newey, and Rosen (1988, Econometrica 56: 1371-1395); Arellano and Bond (1991, Review of Economic Studies 58: 277-297); Arellano and Bover (1995, Journal of Econometrics 68: 29-51); and Blundell and Bond (1998, Journal of Econometrics 87: 115-143), are increasingly popular. Both are general estimators designed for situations with "small T , large N" panels, meaning few time periods and many individuals; independent variables that are not strictly exogenous, meaning they are correlated with past and possibly current realizations of the error; fixed effects; and heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation within individuals. This pedagogic article first introduces linear generalized method of moments. Then it describes how limited time span and potential for fixed effects and endogenous regressors drive the design of the estimators of interest, offering Stata-based examples along the way. Next it describes how to apply these estimators with xtabond2. It also explains how to perform the Arellano-Bond test for autocorrelation in a panel after other Stata commands, using abar. The article concludes with some tips for proper use. Copyright 2009 by StataCorp LP.

The River Clyde is the dominant physical feature of Glasgow and its environs, an area that comprises the largest urban concentration in Scotland, with almost two million people living in the city and satellite towns. Little of this hinterland can be described as beautiful, with crisscrossing motorways and grim housing estates dominating much of the landscape. Beyond the sprawl, however, rolling green hills, open expanses of water and attractive countryside eventually begin to dominate, holding promises of wilder country beyond.
West of the city, regular trains and the M8 motorway dip down from the southern bank of the Clyde to Paisley, where the distinctive cloth pattern gained its name, before heading back up to the edge of the river again as it broadens into the Firth of Clyde. North of Glasgow trains terminate at tiny Milngavie (pronounced "Mill-guy"), which acts as the start of Scotland's best-known long-distance footpath, the West Highland Way.
Southeast of Glasgow, the industrial landscape of the Clyde valley eventually gives way to a far more attractive scenery of gorges and towering castles. Here lies the stoic town of Lanark, where eighteenth-century philanthropists built their model workers' community around the mills of New Lanark.Read More
New Lanark
New Lanark
A UNESCO-designated World Heritage Site, the eighteenth-century planned village of NEW LANARK lies a mile below the neat little market town of Lanark. The first sight of the place, hidden away down in the gorge, is unforgettable: large, broken, curving walls of honeyed warehouses and tenements, built in Palladian style, are lined up along the turbulent river's edge. The community was founded by David Dale and Richard Arkwright in 1785 to harness the power of the Clyde waterfalls in their cotton-spinning industry, but it was Dale's son-in-law, Robert Owen, who revolutionized the social side of the experiment in 1798, creating a "village of unity". Believing the welfare of the workers to be crucial to industrial success, Owen built adult educational facilities, the world's first day nursery and playground, and schools in which dancing and music were obligatory and there was no punishment or reward.
While you're free to wander around the village, which rather unexpectedly for such a historic site is still partially residential, you need to buy a passport ticket to get into any of the exhibitions. The Neoclassical building that now houses the visitor reception was opened by Owen in 1816 under the utopian title of The Institute for the Formation of Character. These days, it houses the New Millennium Experience, which whisks visitors on a chairlift through a social history of the village, conveying Robert Owen's vision not just for the idealized life at New Lanark, but also what he predicted for the year 2000.
Other parts of New Lanark village prove just as fascinating: everything, from the cooperative store to the workers' tenements and workshops, was built in an attempt to prove that industrialism need not be unaesthetic. Situated in the Old Dyeworks, the Scottish Wildlife Trust Visitor Centre (daily: Jan & Feb noon–4pm; March–Dec 11am–5pm; £2) provides information about the history and wildlife of the area. Beyond the visitor centre, a riverside path leads you the mile or so to the major Falls of the Clyde, where at the stunning tree-fringed Cora Linn the river plunges 90ft in three tumultuous stages.

Review of the 2008 Jaguar XJ-Series
Stately, elegant and maybe a little stuffy, the 2008 Jaguar XJ is everything a proper English motorcar should be. Boasting modern construction yet traditional in appointments and styling, the XJ covers ground with appropriate dignity and real sporting spirit.
- Safety
Ideal ride and handling balance for most luxury sedan buyers, classy cabin, more performance than you might expect in a car this size.
Some confusing controls, questionable seat comfort, lacks some of the high-end electronics found in rivals, transmission's fussy manual mode.

Full 2008 Jaguar XJ-Series Review
What's New for 2008
Updates to the styling, inspired by the XK sport coupe, are the most notable changes for the 2008 Jaguar XJ. A new grille and bumpers, front fender vents and newly standard 19- and 20-inch wheels highlight the changes outside. Within, increased rear legroom and the availability of HD radio and cooled seats make the big cat current in this premium class.
In the rarefied air of the ultraluxury sedan, the 2008 Jaguar XJ takes a slightly different tack than the flagships offered by its peers. Rather than emphasizing that the XJ can accelerate as effortlessly as its feline namesake, Jaguar seems to take equal pride in its stately sedan's often quirky English heritage. The sumptuous cabin that's as elegant as a parlor, the decidedly unconventional layout of some controls and the classic hunkered-down body shape fly in the face of the colder, modernistic design edicts of the Jag's chief rivals.
But that's not to say the 2008 XJ is a complete anachronism. There are plenty of high-tech features under that traditional Jaguar skin, such as a lightweight, all-aluminum architecture and a refined 4.2-liter, 32-valve V8 that can be had in either naturally aspirated or supercharged form.
This year brings some styling updates inspired by the XK sport coupe, such as side fender vents and a "growler" badge for the grille. The latter replaces the cat frozen in midleap atop the hood, but if you simply can't have your XJ without the "leaper," rest assured that it's still available as an option. A new grille, new mirrors (with signal indicators), new wheel designs and new bumpers, along with a subtle rear spoiler and revised model script further freshen this XJ generation that bowed in 2004.
The handsome cabin also gets a few new features for 2008, namely the availability of cooled seats and high-definition radio, as well as redesigned front seatbacks that provide more legroom for those in back.
A few of the Jaguar XJ's, um, let's say "charming" idiosyncrasies remain, including ventilation controls that would baffle a cryptologist and the "J-Gate" shifter which, should you choose to change gears manually, operates with all the precision of rebar stuck in half-dried cement. The majority of Jaguar drivers probably won't notice, though, as they're more apt to just leave it in Drive rather than do something as bourgeois as shift their own gears.
All in all, the XJ is pleasant to be around, with confident handling, a plush ride and cat-quick performance. No, it's not the most rational car when all is considered, so if cold logic rules your purchase decision, buy German or Japanese. This car is, quite defiantly, not an Audi, BMW, Infiniti, Lexus or Mercedes. And for those looking for something more classically distinguished and unusual than the status-quo picks in the ultraluxury sedan segment, the 2008 Jaguar XJ is a tempting alternative, especially in the supercharged XJR and Super V8 flavors.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2008 Jaguar XJ series is available in five trim levels: the base XJ8, the XJ8 L (long wheelbase), the supercharged and performance-oriented XJR, the ultra-luxurious Vanden Plas and the Super V8, which combines the plush appointments of the Vanden Plas with the supercharged performance of the XJR.
The XJ8 and XJ8 L come with 18-inch wheels, an adaptive suspension (known as Computer Active Technology Suspension, or CATS), xenon headlamps, rear park assist, full power accessories, 16-way front power seats (with three-stage heat and memory settings), Bluetooth, a moonroof, power-adjustable pedals and of course, plenty of leather and burl walnut trim. Many of the features standard on higher trim levels are optional on the XJ8 and XJ8 L.
Riding on the same wheelbase as the L sedan, the Vanden Plas adds 19-inch wheels, front park assist, power-folding exterior mirrors, a heated steering wheel, a navigation system, climate-controlled front seats, lambs wool footwell rugs, fold-down picnic trays for the rear-seat passengers, an electric rear sunblind and a premium Alpine audio system.
The high-performance XJR is based on the short-wheelbase XJ8 and gets 20-inch wheels, high-performance tires, upgraded brakes, front park assist, power-folding side mirrors, adaptive cruise control, a sport-tuned suspension, navigation system and the Alpine stereo.
Topping the line is the Super V8 that marries the XJR's supercharged engine with the long-wheelbase body style. It also has 20-inch wheels, high-performance brakes, adaptive cruise control and everything else an XJR has. It also has the Vanden Plas' fold-down picnic tables and climate-controlled seats along with a rear DVD entertainment system (with twin display screens) and a four-zone climate control system.
That quad-zone climate control system is an option on the Vanden Plas and XJR, as is the DVD entertainment system. Optional on all trims are high-definition (HD) and satellite radio service.
Powertrains and Performance
All 2008 Jaguar XJ models employ a 4.2-liter V8. All but the XJR and Super V8 have a naturally aspirated version of this engine that makes 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. A supercharger on the XJR and Super V8 trims pumps output up to 400 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic is the sole transmission, and it sends power to the rear wheels. Using the manual-shift mode of the latter is an exercise in frustration, as the lever's action is rather sloppy, making it hard to select gears. Fortunately, the gearbox does fine when left to its own devices, furnishing smooth and quick changes.
All XJs are quick, but the supercharged versions are thrilling � we've timed a Super V8 at just 5.6 seconds for the 0-60-mph sprint. Non-supercharged XJ8s did the same sprint in less than a second more.
Front-seat side and side curtain airbags are standard, as are antilock brakes and stability control. The XJ features Jaguar's "Adaptive Restraint Technology System" that monitors the positions and weight of the front seat passengers to determine how and when to deploy the various airbags.
Interior Design and Special Features
Chief among the draws of a 2008 Jaguar XJ is its handsome cabin that has all the charm of an old-world parlor. Of course, there is the beautiful wood, soft leather and sparkling chrome accents expected of a Jag. Modern conveniences such as acoustic laminated glass and multiadjustable, climate-controlled front seats do their best to coddle occupants. The cabin is indeed serene at speed, though some larger folks may find that those fancy seats just don't fit them. Also, in contrast to all the plush surroundings, some of the Jag's controls are confusing and have a cheap feel to their operation.
Driving Impressions
Operating in virtual silence, with a suspension system tuned more for grace and dignity than corner-carving, the Jaguar XJ-Series sedans have a personality unique among high-end luxury sedans. But with their lightweight construction, active suspensions and eager V8s, they're also surprisingly rambunctious when you let them run. If you want a Jaguar, there really aren't any substitutes.

Great Location in bustling Ipanema
This was a great base for a 9 day stay in Rio. The location was pretty much ideal - 2 mins from Ipanema beach, with lively bars and shops all around, shady streets to walk in, and right next to the heart of bossa nova, the avenida de vinicius moraes, where Jobim wrote Girl from Ipanema. the apartment was clean, a decent size, functional and comfortable. Nice building and a sensible code access system which makes it ideal for families with independent children as you don't have to mess around with different sets of keys. It would have been nice if there had been a washing machine and the stereo didn't work - if the landlord could sort those things out it would be pretty much perfect.
Perfect Villa for our Rio Wedding
We rented the Villa from May 26 to June 5, 2011, for our wedding. We had 50 guests from the United States coming to Rio and we rented several properties. This property is an exceptional property and provides the best comfort in my opinion. In comparison, our Honeymoon night was spent in one of the penthouse suites at the Copacabana Palace ($R 7,200 per night), and the only difference between the Copacabana Palace and the Villa is the service is far superior at the Villa. I contacted the owner via email and was able to meet with him in person at his office in New York. This was the first great experience with this property. The owner is a very gregarious, cheerful, and genuine person. He explained the property; showed us pictures & floorplans, and offered to help with any other needs. The Villa is tucked away on a private dead-end street. The street is gated off and is essentially free of any traffic. The Villa is the standout property on this little street and is elegantly lit by a single gas-fired lamp. The Villa is about three blocks from Post 3 on Copacabana Beach (5 minute walk), across the street from the Metro Stop, and on the major busline. Complimentary WiFi throughout the property and a provided laptop helped us to plan events and stay in touch. The entry uses a coded lock system so we never had to worry about losing a key or being locked out. The kitchen is a fully-loaded spacious room with all the high-end appliances a chef could desire. (Viking range, subzero fridge) We held a rehearsal dinner Feijoada for 70 people with ease. We wanted to serve beer for the dinner and a staff member arranged for a complete draft system to be delivered. (Keg, Refrigerator, taps, cups, and coasters) We had 15 people (including 2 kids) comfortably stay at the Villa. We converted the library into another bedroom to help out with space. Each day we were greeted by a full breakfast spread made up of fruit, breads, pastries, eggs, yogurt, juice, coffee, tea, chocolate milk, etc. The staff varied the breakfast and treated us to first-class meals each day. (the stuffed French toast is amazing!) Each day at least three staff members arrived early in the morning to quietly make breakfast, clean, water the plants, do laundry, etc. The staff provided excellent customer service. If we had any questions or needs, there was a staff person available to take care of it. I was extremely impressed by the service and care taken with this property.

FDA approves more powerful painkillerBy MATTHEW PERRONE
The Associated Press | October 27,2013WASHINGTON The Food and Drug Administration has approved a stronger, single-ingredient version of the painkiller hydrocodone, the widely-abused prescription medicine for chronic pain.
The agency said it approved the pill Zohydro for patients with pain that requires daily, around-the-clock, long-term treatment that cannot be addressed with other drugs.
Hydrocodone is currently sold in combination pills like Vicodin to treat pain from injuries, surgery, arthritis, migraines and other ailments. The new drug from Zogenix is the first pure, non-combination form of the drug approved in the U.S.
The approval comes as a surprise since the agencys own panel of outside advisers gave the drug an overwhelmingly negative review last year. The agencys panel of pain specialists voted 11-2, with one abstention, against approving the drug last December, questioning the need for a new form of one of most widely-abused prescription painkillers in U.S.
The FDA announcement also comes just one day after the agency said it would support stronger restrictions on combination drugs containing hydrocodone, including Vicodin and dozens of other generic formulations.
The drugs currently available mix hydrocodone with non-addictive pain relievers like aspirin and acetaminophen. For decades these drugs have been subject to less rigorous prescribing limits than other prescription painkillers like oxycodone.
Late Thursday, the FDA said it would recommend moving hydrocodone drugs from the schedule III class to the schedule II class of medications, a move that will limit the number of refills patients can receive and how many health professionals can prescribe the drugs.
The Drug Enforcement Administration had first asked the agency to take that step a decade ago, and lawmakers and safety advocates had increased their pressure on the agency in recent years.
In 2011, U.S. doctors wrote more than 131 million prescriptions for hydrocodone, making it the most prescribed drug in the country, according to government figures. Hydrocodone pills also consistently rank among most-abused medicines in the U.S., according to the DEA.
The drug belongs to a family of medicines known as opiates or opioids because they are chemically similar to opium. They include morphine, heroin, oxycodone, codeine and methadone.
Shares of San Diego-based Zogenix Inc. jumped in trading Friday, climbing 85 cents, or 37.9 percent, to $3.09. Earlier shares set a 52-week high of $3.45.MORE IN This Just InStaff Report Full StoryBENNINGTON — A local man was killed in a one-car accident Saturday.

Continued adventures in legitimately obtaining electronic books. In the last episode, we saw how not reading the fine print on Audible.com can cause your one-off purchase of an audiobook to turn into $15/month indefinitely. This time, it's the spectre of DRM that's rearing its ugly head.
I love physical books. In a perfect world, I would own a huge library full of physical books. In the real world, electronic books are cheaper and more convenient. I read a lot of books, many of them obscure or unpopular, and my local library frequently doesn't have a copy. In the case of foreign literature, there may not be a library in the country that has a copy. I could pay a lot and wait a month for Amazon to get one across the Atlantic to me, or I could pay less and download an electronic copy in two minutes. And I save space in my physical bookshelves, too!
Occasionally I've been buying ebooks from Amazon's Kindle store, reading them through their Kindle for Mac application. Amazon has been happy to take my money, despite the fact that I haven't bothered to fake a US address. Amazon isn't responsible for draconian copyright laws, of course, but if they're going to take my money, they better not revoke my rights to the content I purchased later. As of yet, I still have access to my ebooks, but Amazon had zero qualms about deleting another Norwegian customer's entire Kindle library with no explanation, for violations that appear to amount to a fake UK address. Given that, I'm not confident that they won't simply remove everything I've paid for from my account when I fail to provide proof of my nonexistent American address.
Joke's on them, of course. Third-party software to remove DRM from Kindle books exists. All they've accomplished with this email and their previous track record is turning a paying customer into a pirate.Dec 31, 2012

One man is dead after officials say he fell off of a truck bed.
An Albany family is looking for a new place to live after their apartment burned last night.
Fire officials say that the cause of the blaze was food left cooking on the stove in their apartment at 2315 West Gordon.
The fire did not spread beyond the apartment where it started, but virtually all their possessions were lost. Damage was estimated at $37,000.
The family of Jason Hines, 37, and Stephanie Canty, 39, is displaced and trying to start over. They have three kids, aged seven to sixteen.
Family members and the Red Cross are helping. The Red Cross can be called at 436-4845.

Perfect Margarita Recipe
CHOW's senior editor has a side job of advocating proper margarita-making. Following is the only way she thinks a margarita should be prepared. Serve it with either our Cumin Salt or our Cayenne Salt and your next party will be a big hit.
Special equipment: This citrus juicer won us over because of its efficiency and practical design.
What to buy: All self-respecting margaritas are made with only 100 percent agave tequila (we like to use the high-quality Cuervo 1800, Patrón Silver, Herradura, or Don Julio) and Cointreau.
This recipe was featured as part of our Build Your Own Burrito Bar story.
- Salt, for rimming the glass (optional)
- Ice
- 1 1/2 ounces tequila (blanco, 100 percent agave)
- 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 ounce Cointreau (not Triple Sec)
- If using salt, place in a shallow dish. Moisten the rim of a rocks glass with a dampened paper towel, then dip in salt.
- Fill the glass with ice; add tequila, lime juice, and Cointreau; and stir a few times until chilled. Serve immediately.

CityLore, 2010
I did my internship in New York City at Citylore, specifically working on their City of Memory site. My main responsibility was to edit together severel tours, including one based on an Indo-Carribean neighborhood, the Mohawk Indian steel workers, and a Chinese-American neighborhood in Flushing, Queens. I also filmed some supplementary footage for the tours that I put together. In addition to my work with the City of Memory site, I also attended the New York State Folklorist's Folk Art Roundtable in Saratoga Springs, New York. There I was able to meet with and discuss topics pertinent to public folklore with some notable folklorists that I may not otherwise had the chance to talk to.
This internship, as a whole, challenged my media capabilities while allowing me to engage in the dialogue of representation and entitlement that is so central to public work and folklore as a whole. I feel privileged to have made the connections that I made and to have tangible products that I can show future schools and employers. Although there were certainly difficult and uncomfortable times during my work in New York, this too, was an informative look at the reality of public folklore work and allowed me to gain problem solving skills that I can use later in my career.

Is AOL Set For a Journey of Growth?
Mihir is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Shares of AOL (NYSE: AOL) went up by 7% after it released its Q4, 2012 earnings earlier this month. The fact that Q4 revenue grew year-over-year for the first time in the last 8 years seemed enough to generate significant optimism amongst investors. AOL delivered strong results for Q4 on the back of a substantial increase in global advertising revenue. This growth mainly came from a growth in revenues of the third party ad network, which did not seem encouraging to analysts.
Revenue from the third party ad network increased by 31% to $137.2 million, causing some apprehension amongst analysts as sales made on behalf of other publishers are volatile and difficult to be forecasted for the coming quarters. However, as far as I am concerned this is not really a point of worry as third party ad sales are an integral component of a digital advertising portfolio, and, like other network properties, contributes to the overall revenues of a digital media company. Additionally, the double-digit growth at AOL.com testifies robust performance of AOL network properties. Something that AOL needs to work towards is more global display revenue, as display is going to be a big bet in the world of digital advertising in the coming years.
AOL also changed its definition of adjusted OIBDA to exclude special items so as to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs. AOL has focused heavily on managing its expenditure with the help of proper cost management mechanism, delivering OIBDA at $123.3 million. Effective cost management will help AOL gain further competitive advantage and higher market share in the coming quarters.
This result has definitely shown an improvement in performance of AOL, and as management mentioned, put the company back on the growth track. However, I am still not strongly convinced with regard to the sustainability of strong performance metrics, and my skepticism hovers around increasing cost of revenues and an unequal rise in advertising revenues. Taking this quarter as a case in point, the cost of revenues increased by almost 8%, which is twice the rate of growth in revenue. As an investor, I would not be very pleased with these numbers and would anticipate suitable strategies from management to expand revenue further.
Industry peers
If I were a risk-averse investor and wanted to try my hand in the digital advertising industry then my probable choice would be Google (NASDAQ: GOOG). The company reported robust results for the fourth quarter, with a GAAP net income of $2.89 billion compared to $2.71 billion in the fourth quarter of 2011. As for the entire industry, Google's traffic acquisition costs also increased to $3.08 billion in Q4 2012, as compared to $2.45 billion in the fourth quarter of 2011. Notably, Google is investing substantially in its display network, as well as Android and Youtube, as display ads will occupy a good portion of an advertiser's marketing budget in the future.
Things were looking bleak for Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO) before the new CEO Marissa Mayer took charge of its operations. Her insistence for better user experience led to number of changes in Yahoo! products like Yahoo! mail, Yahoo! search, etc. It is expected that under the guidance of Marissa Mayer, who was formerly a VP at Google, Yahoo! will gradually pick up market share, which it has been losing to other stronger players, including Google. In February, Yahoo!'s share price hit a new 52-week high, and analysts are expecting that it will continue to rise as a result of efficient management and product innovation.
The Bottom Line
I began this article by mentioning the big news for AOL. Though there are certain grey areas when we carefully analyze the performance metrics yet, these results hide it very well. Going by what the top management of the company said, AOL is back on the growth track and is poised to grow in the coming years on the back of increasing revenue from search and display advertising, as well as ad platforms like Devil. AOL CEO Tim Armstrong also admitted that Patch fell behind projections and promised to make efforts in bringing Patch towards profitability.
HuffPost Live is an excellent example of AOL's efforts on the product innovation front. To quote a couple of numbers from the earnings call, HuffPost Live garnered around 128 million video views in just six months, and was also named the Biggest Innovation in Media for the year 2012 by Mashable. AOL is moving forward on strong fundamentals of audience and revenue growth, a vigilant cost management system, and product innovation. All in all, AOL deserves to be included in your portfolio at its current price.

DETROIT—(December 7, 2013)—The National Kidney Foundation of Michigan will gather friends and supporters for the 9th Annual Kidney Ball on Saturday, December 7, 2013 at the MGM Grand Detroit.
The event, which features the theme "A Midwinter Night's Dream," will include a night of live music, great food, cocktails, and even a candy "bar" to top off the evening, all making it the most fun charity event in metro Detroit. Last year's Kidney Ball raised over $600,000 for the NKFM's many programs and services that help the more than 900,000 Michigan residents living with chronic kidney disease, and the many more at risk.
The spectacular evening, which attracts more than 700 of metro Detroit's givers and shakers, will begin with cocktails at 6 p.m. and a fabulous dinner served at 7:30 p.m. There will also be an exciting live auction along with an expansive and unique silent auction. Guests can also enjoy dancing and listening to the soulful sounds of the Jerry Ross Band after dinner.
Special guests this year include former Detroit Lion Lomas Brown as well as Keith Villa, Head Brewmaster and Founder of the Blue Moon Brewing Company®, who will introduce cheese and beer pairings, including an exclusive beer that is not currently available for purchase. Additionally, Blue Moon contract artist, Jen Raine, will be live-painting a picture of the Detroit skyline which will then be auctioned off.
Duane McLean, Executive Vice President of Business Affairs for the Detroit Tigers, will serve as the Honorary Chair of the 2013 Kidney Ball. Jason Hall, National Sales Director of Title Source is this year's Event Chair.
"With so many challenges in our state, things are not likely to get easier for people with kidney disease and the many people at risk. Supporting the Kidney Ball will give us the opportunity to continue helping to prevent and manage kidney disease, and raise awareness about its leading causes," said Dan Carney, President and CEO of the NKFM.
"We invite everyone to support an organization whose mission truly is to make a difference and improve the lives and health of Michigan residents."
Tickets for the event are $250 per guest and can be purchased by visiting the NKFM's website, www.nkfm.org/events, or by calling the NKFM at 800-482-1455.
About the NKFM:
The mission of the National Kidney Foundation of Michigan is to prevent kidney disease and improve the quality of life for those living with it. The NKFM is widely known for providing more programs and services to more people than any other region or state. The organization was recognized for its success in sound fiscal management by receiving a 4-star rating, six years in a row, from Charity Navigator—the nation's leading charity evaluator.

Adult Fiction PERRY
Summary: "A CHALLENGING AND SATISFYING THRILLER. . .[WITH] MANY SURPRISING TWISTS. " --The New York Times Jane Whitefield is a Native American guide who leads people out of the wilderness--not the tree-filled variety but the kind created by enemies who want you dead. She is in the one-woman business of helping the desperate disappear. Thanks to her membership in the Wolf Clan of the Seneca tribe, she can fool any pursuer, cover any trail, and then provide her clients with new identities, complete with authentic paperwork. Jane knows all the tricks, ancient and modern; in fact, she has invented several of them herself. So she is only mildly surprised to find an intruder waiting for her when she returns home one day. An ex-cop suspected of embezzling, John Felker wants Jane to do for him what she did for his buddy Harry Kemple: make him vanish. But as Jane opens a door out of the world for Felker, she walks into a trap that will take all her heritage and cunning to escape.... "Thomas Perry keeps pulling fresh ideas and original characters out of thin air. The strong-willed heroine he introduces in Vanishing Act rates as one of his most singular creations." --The New York Times Book Review ONE THRILLER THAT MUST BE READ . . . .Perry has created his most complex and compelling protagonist." --San Francisco Examiner

After almost sixty hours, my annual Christmas cards are done. Whew! I smiled while dropping them into the mailbox and imagined my friends and family opening up my little art project. Time is at a premium and many don't even send store bought cards. We live in an electronic age where communication is at our fingertips. We make contact through texts, tweets and Facebook. Very few pick up the phone and actually talk to people anymore. Everyone is too busy.
I am a dinosaur in today's world. I plodded through the week while drawing, printing, cutting, and pasting. My gift to others is not just about the card. It is about the love and time it takes to create them. Each one took over 45 minutes. Yep, That was a little overboard. Thanks to Timethief, I have a wealth of new ideas for next year and promise to start in July!
The Process:
First I decide on an activity. My family is found skiing in many of my cards, but I wanted to come up with something unique for 2013. It has been an exceptional year in some ways, but I was derailed by breast cancer. When I thought of the concept, Dancing on 2013's Grave, I laughed out loud!
Yes Wild Riders. I am ready to dance once again. Did you miss me?
First I sketch my ideas. Once I have a workable drawing, I use tracing paper and a marker for a final copy. I hope to capture the likeness of everyone. I only draw once a year, so I am always a little nervous when I start. Sometimes the illustration just works like this year when it only took two hours. Other times, I find it challenging to recreate the shape of the eyes, the nose, the mouth, and the jawline. There's always some printing involved. Thank God for the invention of the inkjet. I used to run back and forth to a commercial printer in a neighboring town to get the pieces camera ready.

02 Academy Upcoming Events
March 27, 2011 at 5:56 pm , by Blue
March is an exciting month at the O2 Academy in Leeds but as the venue is so popular most of the tickets for all of the events have sold out. The Stranglers, Primal Scream and others can all expect a full house, showing just how popular the O2 Academy is in Leeds. The popularity of events in Leeds is all down to the city being a gem in the North of England. We have therefore decided to look a little further ahead to some of the highlights of the O2's calendar of events for this year.
Propaganda: every Saturday night throughout April is Propaganda Night focusing on the best in Indie from 11.00pm – 3.30am.
Friday 29th – Sunday 1st May: Live at Leeds
The O2 Academy will again host the Live at Leeds event. This is a truly Leeds city centre music festival and will feature the best musical talent from the region and some national acts too.
Tickets are still available
Saturday 16th: Big Country
The Scottish 80's band has reformed to play a 30th anniversary tour. Let's hope they do the great tracks including Big Country and others from the early 'The Crossing' and 'Steeltown' classic albums. Tickets are still available.
Looking ahead to July a couple of exciting gigs are on the events calendar including:
Tuesday 12th: Eels
Eels return to perform for the first time since releasing the third and final album in their trilogy Hombre Lobo, End Times and Tomorrow Morning. The band are acclaimed in music circles including great testimony for the Hombre Lobo album as the New York Times Critics Choice.
Tickets are still available.
Wednesday 13th: Bright Eyes
The great US Indie/folk band play their first live gig in over three years – right here in Leeds following the launch of their album in February 2011 – The Peoples Key.
Tickets are still available.
The O2 Academy in Leeds is a superb venue for live music and as previously mentioned is extremely popular – we always know when a big name is playing at the O2 – as the serviced apartments get booked up quickly too. As the apartments are a great central place to stay it is a good idea to look ahead in the events calendar at the different Leeds venues so that a festival or a concert weekend can be arranged well in advance including advance booking of superb accommodation.

News and Events Details
The University of Wisconsin Board of Regents at their meeting July 11th and 12th approved a tuition freeze for the upcoming academic school year starting in September.
This plan included a tuition freeze for all students and not just those from Wisconsin. The regents voted to expand the freeze to include out-of-state and graduate students as well. It is the first two-year tuition freeze in the 42 year history of the UW System.
University of Wisconsin-Superior Chancellor Renée Wachter said, "The approval of a comprehensive tuition freeze by the Board of Regents is a strong sign of support to keep college accessible for all students."
The full-time, full academic year tuition and fees cost at UW-Superior will be holding steady for Wisconsin residents at $7,904 for 2013-14.
Chancellor Wachter was in Madison at the Board of Regents meeting and noted that the two newly appointed regents (Mueller and Farrow) were also introduced. Outgoing Regent Bartell thanked all UW faculty and staff for their hard work and persistence in the face of budget cuts and uncertainty. The regents also heard from Jeffrey Immelt, Chairman and CEO of GE, who addressed the board and shared his valuable insights on "Leading the Productivity Revolution."

|Pair-transfer probability in open- and closed-shell Sn isotopes
|M. Grasso1D. Lacroix2A. Vitturi
|Approximations made to estimate two-nucleon transfer probabilities in ground-state to ground-state transitions and physical interpretation of these probabilities are discussed. Probabilities are often calculated by approximating both ground states, of the initial nucleus A and of the final nucleus A\pm 2 by the same quasiparticle vacuum. We analyze two improvements of this approach. First, the effect of using two different ground states with average numbers of particles A and A\pm2 is quantified. Second, by using projection techniques, the role of particle number restoration is analyzed. Our analysis shows that the improved treatment plays a role close to magicity, leading to an enhancement of the pair-transfer probability. In mid-shell regions, part of the error made by approximating the initial and final ground states by a single vacuum is compensated by projecting onto good particle number. Surface effects are analyzed by using pairing interactions with a different volume-to-surface mixing. Finally, a simple expression of the pair-transfer probability is given in terms of occupation probabilities in the canonical basis. We show that, in the canonical basis formulation, surface effects which are visible in the transfer probability are related to the fragmentation of single-particle occupancies close to the Fermi energy. This provides a complementary interpretation with respect to the standard quasiparticle representation where surface effects are generated by the integrated radial profiles of the contributing wave functions.
