Home > Research Legal Advice > Tax > Capital gain tax when selling a house with ownership 50/50 with my brother
I have a house and I have lived for 3 years. The house is owned with my brother who has 50% ownership. He lives somewhere else. I paid all mortgage payments and taxes by myself. If I sell the house, does my brother need to pay tax on capital gain? The house increased its value. I know I don't have to pay tax on my capital gain since I have been living in this house as my primary house. How about my brother's capital gain tax?
You and your brother will have to determine your tax basis in the property. The tax basis, selling expenses and closing costs are then deducted from the sales price to determine the taxable gain, if any. You will be able to exclude $250,000 as your primary residence and your brother will be able to exclude nothing on his portion of the gain. This can be a complex calculation and you should have a local tax attorney or CPA review the transaction and make the calculations for you.
There are a few items to consider in this transaction. How and when the property was acquired by the parties? What the basis is in the property? Have there been any improvements, repairs? Who pays the other expenses? Who has been reporting the mortgage and r/e taxes on their return each year. etc.? In addition, once the property is sold the sales price will play a role. Consulting a tax lawyer before selling the house may prove to be beneficial.

We were really happy with the products we bought (a set of skis with bindings and a snowboard) although we have not tried them out yet! I got a bit confused with the questions they asked about the binding settings and am still not sure whether they have been set up for me or not but I guess it's best to take them to an expert to check out anyway!
The only real disappointment was the way they were packed up for delivery. They arrived in two separate boxes - one with the skis in and one with the board, but there was no protection other than the box itself.... The bindings had ripped through the cardboard and there was a nick in the snowboard which isn't ideal.... It wouldn't have taken much to either secure them in the boxes to stop them moving round or to add in some bubble wrap to protect them in transit....

Have y'all seen some of this crap?
I don't really care about science fiction. Hell, I don't really read fiction, period, any more. But this tempest-in-a-teapot is interesting as an illustration of a larger social trend, to wit:
Leftists make everybody else into leftists.
Maybe it needs emphasis: Leftists make everybody else into leftists. The proposed solution to the rabbit infestation, of course, being: Ban the rabbits.
And most of all, we don't have to sit back and lament the fact that they've taken over and ruined the organizations and institutions that we used to love. We can walk away without looking back, leave them to their inevitable implosion, and build new and better ones. But we have to learn from the failures of our predecessors. When the bureaucrats and the activists and the whiners start in with their usual routine about access and fairness and reaching out, we need to kick THEM out, not foolishly listen to them and let in the destroyers.
I agree, needless to say, but the end result is inevitably Stalinism Lite. Because a leftist science fiction fan, like a leftist anything, is a leftist first and a science fiction fan only a very distant second. You have to mercilessly extirpate them or they'll take over everything.
In other words, you end up criminalizing thought.
Even David Stove came to agree. One of the staunchest defenders free thought ever had wrote
Is the equality-opinion, then, one of those which ought to be proscribed at all times? I think it is, and my reasons are these: that the opinion that everyone ought to be equal, leads, by logic which is clear even to the meanest intelligence, to the opinion that private property ought to be abolished; and that that opinion is, above all others, destructive of both life and of culture. Compared with the opinion that everyone ought to be equal, the opinion that arson is innocent, or that government officials ought to be shot, are minor moral eccentricities.
Tolerance of the intolerant destroys both alike. Some animals have to be more equal than others, or the whole system collapses.
How's that for a premise? Truth is stranger than fiction, after all.

This May Be The Most Vital Use Of "Big Data" We've Ever Seen
Just as after the Vietnam war, there is an epidemic of suicides going on among American veteran of the Middle East wars. According to the VA, there is one suicide ever 65 minutes by veterans or active-duty personnel. We talk a lot about "solving problems" with technology on this site--and we can scarcely think of a more urgent one than this. Screening social network data could identify at-risk vets before it's too late.
Unlike the Vietnam days, veterans today search for information (or vent their troubles) about suicide on Google and Facebook. A new project, newly launched by DARPA and Dartmouth University, is trying something new: Data-mining social networks to spot patterns indicating suicidal behavior.
Called The Durkheim Project, named for the Victorian-era sociologist, it is asking veterans to offer their Twitter and Facebook authorization keys for an ambitious effort to match social media behavior with indications of suicidal thought. Veterans' online behavior is then fed into a real-time analytics dashboard which predicts suicide risks and psychological episodes.
However, there's a caveat: The Durkheim Project, which launched on July 1, is only a study into the effectiveness of predictive analytics for mental health. Veterans who participate will only be monitored, and have to receive any needed mental health assistance through the VA and other sources.
Who's Behind The Durkheim Project?
The Durkheim Project is led by New Hampshire-based Patterns and Predictions, a Dartmouth University spin-off with close ties to academics there. Patterns and Predictions received funding from DARPA, and the analytics platform is based on products from big data firms Attivio and Cloudera. Additional assistance was granted by Facebook and the Veterans Education & Research Association of Northern New England. Patterns and Predictions' main product, Centiment, is a predictive analytics tool that uses linguistic and sentiment analysis for the financial industry.
For Facebook, the project marks one of the first times that they've let non-profits and the medical community conduct extensive data mining of the service for predictive analytics purposes. As the project's literature puts it, they want to "provide real-time monitoring of text content and behavioral patterns statistically correlated with tendencies for harmful behaviors--such as suicide."
What Are Researchers Looking For?
Sid Probstein, Attivio's CTO, told Co.Labs that Patterns and Predictions, the Geisel School of Medicine, and the VA conducted a double-blind study that found linguistic clues associated with suicidal behavior. These keywords, word patterns, and other information were fed into Patterns and Predictions' predictive analytics (powered by the Attivio AIE search engine and Cloudera's Hadoop data fabric); once these patterns were baked into the program, the machine learning extrapolated useful patterns and clues.
The VA, Dartmouth, and other medical organizations hope to use these to help veterans in the future.
The information used by the Durkheim researchers generated multiple linguistics-driven prediction models that estimate the risk of suicide with 65% accuracy on small dataset. According to Probstein, one of the project goals is to substantially increase that accuracy rate in future studies,
Patterns and Predictions head Chris Poulin added that the dataset used for the machine learning process "uses a training set of certain linguistic clues and keyword features known to be related to people who needed help. These words, and or synonyms of these words, are also expected in the social/mobile data."
How Veterans Use It
Participating veterans install a unique Facebook app and a mobile app for either Android or iOS, which also allows them to tweak sharing settings on a granular level. Informed consent forms are required for Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ monitoring. For Twitter posts, all text the user posts in tweets is data-mined.
How Researchers Predict Suicidal Behavior
All information collected from the study is stored at Dartmouth's Geisel School of Medicine. According to Probstein, the information lies behind a medical firewall stored according to Human Subject Study/HIPAA privacy rules.
A dashboard used by researchers at Geisel shows profiles of individual study participants, along with information about the doctor treating them, clinical notes, and an overall risk rating generated by the Patterns and Predictions platform. Risk ratings update every 60 seconds, and are generated based on keywords specific to each study participant's profile. Trends in the individual study participant's mental health--a "mental health ticker" based on social media use--is then created. Clinicians are also given access to all of the source content used for each profile. Each study participant's Facebook and Twitter posts are archived, and are accessible to the researchers to correlate to specific blips in the mental health ticker.
Probstein said that the dataset used for the machine learning "uses a training set of certain clues and features that are known to be data related to people who needed help and weren't able to get it."
Why Is DARPA Doing This?
In the long run, social media monitoring could sharply reduce the obscenely high veteran suicide rate. A toxic mix of PTSD caused by military service, the VA's documented difficulty providing basic mental health treatment, poor job opportunities at home, and a lack of understanding from the outside world all mean that veterans kill themselves at rates far exceeding the rest of America. DARPA's goal to think outside the box applies to veteran health care also; using social media to deliver targeted services to the veterans who need them most could be a boon for the perennially cash-strapped VA.
The Durkheim Project is part of DARPA's Detection and Computational Analysis of Psychological Signals (DCAPS) project. DCAPS is a larger effort designed to harness predictive analytics for veteran mental health--and not just from social media. According to DARPA's Russell Shilling's program introduction, DCAPS is also developing algorithms that can data mine voice communications, daily eating and sleeping patterns, in-person social interactions, facial expressions, and emotional states for signs of suicidal thought. While participants in Durkheim won't receive mental health assistance directly from the project, their contributions will go a long way toward treating suicidal veterans in the future.
It is important to note that DARPA is not the only organization funding the project. DARPA funded Durkheim's phase one, and Facebook is joining in funding phase two, and an upcoming third phase will be funded independently.
The project launched on July 1; the number of veterans participating is not currently known but the finished number is expected to hover around 100,000.
Update: This article was appended with extra information about funding and granular privacy controls received post-publication. The original version of this article also incorrectly stated Durkheim's occupation; he was a sociologist, not a psychologist.

Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE — A former county economist has announced his intentions to run for a seat on the Gwinnett County Commission.
Alfie Meek, Gwinnett County's former director of economic development, said Tuesday that he will seek the Republican nomination next year for District 4, which stretches from Lawrenceville to Buford. John Heard is the current District 4 commissioner.
"We need a competent and ethical leader who has the experience to make the tough decisions necessary in these challenging times to improve our economy, move Gwinnett forward and keep out county a great place to live and do business," Meek said in his announcement.
Meek served as Gwinnett's county economist from 2002 to 2011, when he left to take a job at Georgia Tech's community innovation services group, which provides economic and fiscal analysis to communities across the state. He is also a former member of Leadership Gwinnett and, among several advanced degrees, has a Ph.D. in agricultural economics from the University of Georgia.
Meek said his chief goal as a county commissioner would be to help drive job growth.
"With my years of experience as Gwinnett's economist, I understand what drives our county's economy, how it has changed since the recession began and the challenges that come with slower growth," he said. "On the commission, I will use my experience to attract high-paying, professional jobs to Gwinnett County to improve our economy and expand our tax base to reduce the tax burden on our families."
He also referenced the corruption common in Gwinnett's government in recent years.
"We cannot afford to have leaders who show up in negative headlines in a cloud of scandal that hurt the county's reputation and scare businesses away," Meek said. "I will provide the ethical leadership our county needs and our families deserve."
Meek has been married to wife Pilar for 21 years and is a father to two sons, both students at Hebron Christian Academy. He teaches an adult Sunday school class at North Metro First Baptist Church and is very involved in the Boy Scouts of America, he said.

ResPublica and NCVYS are delighted to announce a joint 12-month Commission on Youth, launching in April. Following our work with many youth organisations in the aftermath of the August riots, NCVYS has maintained commitment to help build solutions with members and partners to one of the worst waves of civil unrest in a generation.
Several reviews and inquiries have been conducted in order to analyse the motivations of the rioters and the multifaceted social issues behind the actions witnessed in August. Understanding of the issues involved remains however partial with a number of fragmented accounts emphasising isolated issues of welfare dependency or distrust of the police, and this Commission will focus on a more holistic narrative with a multi-output initiative that will shape and redefine terms of the debate around the riots.
The aim of the Commission in its first stages will be to identify gaps in public understanding and offer innovative angles to these by investigating the correlation between institutional 'anomie' and civil unrest. The key question this project will seek to answer is whether the alienation from social institutions translates into the fragmentation of social identity and rejection of self-regulatory values. The discussions and topics to be explored through the Commission will serve as a basis for future research or policy initiatives in key areas affecting young people and communities.
We are now establishing the steering group for the Commission, as well as sponsorship and contributions from a range of civil society partners.
"As we approach the anniversary of the August 2011 riots, the Commission will offer space for reflection, dialogue and debate. We will be working with experts in our membership and academics to match real life experience of working with young people with social theory and existing research. By partnering with ResPublica we hope to develop solutions with an influential and independent think tank that can help us to steer change."
"As a society, we have failed to nurture productive forms of association and institutional formation. This was a key factor in the level of anomie that was manifested in last summer's riots. Too many reactions from policy makers and commentators decried young people's loss of character and morality, but to create and foster virtue for the next generation we need to look at how engaging young people with institutions will help cultivate a society within which all can flourish."
The Commission will last around 12 months, from April 2012 to April 2013. The full output may include one or more of the following deliverables:
Private roundtable/ Steering Group meeting: The event will launch the commission, drawing together key partners for the commission, who will contribute with recommendations that will be internally transcribed and leading to the public conference. Attendees will include representatives from youth organisations, private businesses, academia, faith and school institutions.
Full-day public conference: For groups and key decision-makers from local and national organisations, to be held in a Westminster location in July 2012. The event will explore each of the discussion topics and young people might be involved.
ResPublica Green Paper publication: Published and disseminated on-line, this short and provocative piece outlines an argument which could spark a debate and prompt feedback and deeper reflection on the topic. Steering group members will be consulted on content and specific individuals could take a co-authorship role if appropriate.
Compendium/ Essay Collection: This publication would bring together leading experts in the field to contribute towards a structured narrative, in the form of individual essays or commentaries. Contributors would be senior commentators including MPs, Peers, journalists, academics and thought leaders.
Party conference fringe series: ResPublica host a range of public fringe events at all three main party conferences each autumn. Open to all conference delegates, they conventionally feature a panel of experts including politicians, policy-makers, business and civil society representatives and high profile commentators and journalists.
For further details about the Commission, including provisional discussion topics and the budget required for various tiers of sponsorship, please do not hesitate to contact Faiza Chaudary, Deputy Chief Executive at NCVYS at email@example.com or Caroline MacFarland, Managing Director at Respublica at email@example.com.

There was plenty of momentum for the specialty chemical companies in the first quarter. Cytec Industries Inc. (CYT - Snapshot Report) recently reported its sixth earnings surprise in a row. This Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) continues to be a value stock, with a forward P/E of 13.6.
Cytec Industries is a specialty chemical company serving many different end markets such as aerospace, adhesives, automotive and industrial coatings, inks, mining and plastics.
The New Jersey-based company operates in 4 segments: In Process Separation, Engineered Materials, Additive Technologies, and Coating Resins.
Cytec Beat By 23% in Q1
On Apr 19, Cytec reported first quarter results and blew by the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 24 cents. Earnings were $1.28 compared to the consensus of $1.04. This was 64% higher than a year ago.
Sales rose 2.3% to $783 million from the first quarter of 2011. The quarter was boosted by strong results of Engineered Materials and In Process Separation.
Engineered Materials sales rose 17% to $219 million as selling volumes rose by 14% compared to last year primarily due to higher build rates in the large commercial transport sector and business and regional jet industries. Higher selling prices increased sales by 3%.
In Process Separation sales also jumped 17% to $92 million as selling volumes climbed by 8% over last year due to strong demand for mining chemicals across most regions, especially in Eastern Europe and Africa.
Both Additive Technologies and Coating Resins saw sales fall in the quarter as Europe's slowdown took its toll.
Additive Technologies fell 4% to $68 million due to soft demand in most regions, especially Europe, from the economic slowdown. Coating Resins sales fell 6% to $405 million as volumes fell 9% compared to the year ago quarter due to weaker demand across most of its product lines. Europe and Asia Pacific were particularly weak as customers continued to manage inventories.
Update on the Possible Sale of the Coating Resins Segment
Cytec has been looking to sell its Coating Resins business since the third quarter of 2011. It wants to focus on its more profitable and growing segments.
The company re-iterated that a decision about the sale would be forthcoming in the second quarter of 2012.
Cytec still anticipates closing on a deal by the end of the year.
Double Digit Growth Expected in 2012
Cytec started 2012 with momentum and it expects to post another strong year of growth.
After declining to give guidance in January for 2012 due to the possible sale of the Coating Resins segment, the company went ahead and gave it now.
Earnings are expected to be between $4.35 and $4.65 per share, up from $3.66 in 2011.
It also expects to acquire Umeco Plc by July 2012, which will be accretive for about 20 cents per share. That acquisition is NOT included in the full year guidance.
Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2012 Jumps
Given the big beat and the bullish guidance, it's not surprising that the analysts have been revising 2012 estimates.
In the last 30 days, 4 out of 4 estimates have moved higher, pushing the Zacks Consensus Estimate up to $4.67 from $3.98.
That is strong earnings growth of 28%.
Still a Value Stock
The last time I looked at Cytec in Feb 2012 it was a value stock with a forward P/E of 14.4.
While shares have risen even higher, to new 2-year highs, Cytec has gotten more affordable.
It now trades with a forward P/E of 13.6.
Cytec still has a value price-to-book ratio as well. Its P/B is just 2.4. A P/B ratio under 3.0 usually indicates value.
The company also has other solid fundamentals, including a 1-year return on equity of 20.2%.
In addition, it rewards shareholders with a dividend yielding 0.8%. But the dividend is just an added bonus to the growth you're getting.
Cytec is both a value and a growth stock which is bucking the slowdown in Europe and Asia. Stay tuned for more information on the sale of its Coating Resins business.

The author reviews several factitious disorders of the upper extremity (Secretan's Syndrome, tourniquet-induced swelling, body integrity identity disorder, SHAFT syndrome). The theory of feigned disability for gain is discussed and different forms of gain are illustrated (e.g., monetary, emotional manipulation, avoidance of distress).
The diagnosis of a factitious disorder is often a difficult one to make. A detached, almost smiling indifference by a patient with an unusual clinical presentation can assist with the diagnosis. Early recognition of a factitious disorder, avoidance of unnecessary procedures, sensitive feedback, and referral to a mental health specialist may offer the best prospects for treatment.

What Is Seen and What Is Not Seen
"Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself." — Mark Twain
The great French economist Frederic Bastiat observed that "In the economic sphere an act, a habit, an institution, a law produces not only one effect, but a series of effects. Of these effects, the first alone is immediate; it appears simultaneously with its cause; it is seen. The other effects emerge only subsequently; they are not seen; we are fortunate if we foresee them.
"There is only one difference between a bad economist and a good one: the bad economist confines himself to the visible effect; the good economist takes into account both the effect that can be seen and those effects that must be foreseen."
The same is true in the sphere of public policy. The bad economist or the thoughtless politician (but I repeat myself) sees only the direct effect of a law; he doesn't foresee the indirect effects. In many cases the politician may consider only the short-term effects that might help him win the next election; he may not consider at all the long-term effects.
Bastiat noted that "it almost always happens that when the immediate consequence is favorable, the later consequences are disastrous, and vice versa." So when a politician urges a great new solution to some problem – or typically, the same old ineffective solution to a problem – the long-term result very often is more harm than good.
One such example was alcohol Prohibition almost 100 years ago. The problem of alcohol may have been bad, but Prohibition made the problem much worse, to the point that Prohibition was later repealed. Another example was a luxury tax on yachts to "soak the rich". Even a mediocre economist or a slightly thoughtful politician could have foreseen the disaster it turned out to be. The tax collected virtually nothing from the rich but did send many blue collar boat builders to the unemployment line. Two years later Congress repealed the law.
With the greatest intentions of reducing poverty, politicians have enacted policies that, in the short-term, help people survive one month until the next government check, but the unseen long-term effect is to trap people in poverty, sometimes for generations. If we truly care about helping people – and I think most of us do – then wouldn't it be better to find long-term solutions that help people escape poverty?
As long ago as the 1980s, better economists and more thoughtful politicians saw the indirect effects of the welfare system – it "fostered a permanent underclass dependent on government handouts." In 1996, a Republican Congress and Democrat President Clinton passed welfare reform with the goal of reducing the dependency trap and helping people escape poverty. Ten years later, The New Republic, a liberal magazine, looked back and editorialized that the reform "worked much as its designers had hoped [foreseen]." Since then, less thoughtful politicians seeing only the easily visible effects of welfare, and not seeing the long-term consequences, have undone most of the successful reform.
Our disability system likewise helps disabled people survive month-to-month but traps them in poverty. Wouldn't it be better to find long-term solutions, using some amazing modern technology to help them overcome their disabilities, become productive, and no longer trapped in poverty?
Some short-sighted politicians want to extend the length of unemployment benefits beyond 26 months, but the long-term effect can be permanent unemployment. Studies have found that someone unemployed for more than six months has very little chance of ever getting a job.
Other bad economists and thoughtless politicians suggest raising the minimum wage. The immediate effect would be to slightly raise the pay for a small number of people – but cause others to lose their jobs. The long-term consequence would be to destroy many more entry-level jobs, making it harder and harder for teenagers to enter the work force.
When was the last time you saw a full-service gas station? That used to be a good first job for many young kids. Washing dishes was another good first job. Kids learned the self-discipline of showing up on time every time. While on the job they often picked up skills from the auto mechanics or cooks around them. But as the minimum wage rose, machines replaced those jobs. If it continues to rise, we will see machines taking orders for fast food, flipping burgers, and delivering the goods. The long-term effect of raising the minimum wage is disastrous for millions of young people.
Some politicians saw ObamaCare as a good idea; they did not foresee the terrible consequences. Today, some people think we will see good effects if we adopt the ObamaCare expansion of Medicaid. Not only do they fail to see the indirect, long-term terrible effects, they don't even see the bad effects that have already occurred elsewhere. To put it simply, Medicaid is an inefficient, incredibly expensive program that provides even worse health outcomes than for people who are uninsured. Expanding it would cost even more than now predicted and would lead to much higher taxes.
To achieve better results – better economy, more good jobs, higher pay, less poverty, lower cost health care – we need to see not just the immediate effects of a policy, but to foresee the long-term effects.
Real health care reform (not ObamaCare)
"Learn from the mistakes of others. You can never live long enough to make them all yourself." — Groucho Marx
It's no laughing matter – well, actually it is. The late night comedians have found lots to laugh about in what otherwise would be a tragedy. ObamaCare that is.
Most of us have heard the horror stories about the so-called "Affordable" Care Act. The least of the problems is the web site that doesn't work. Much worse is the huge increase, sometimes even doubling or tripling, of premiums and deductibles for many people. Perhaps worst are the millions of people who have suffered cancellation of the health plans they liked.
ObamaCare is a disaster. This year when the employer mandate takes effect, tens of millions more people are likely to find that the plans they like are canceled to comply with the dictates of big government. But there is hope. Real health care reform is coming – not from politicians, but from doctors.
One surgeon wrote in the Wall Street Journal about a patient who needed a fairly simple operation. His bare-bones insurance would easily cover the cost of the surgeon, the anesthesiologist, and, they thought, for the operating room, nurses, etc. But when the patient went to check in, the hospital wanted an additional $20,000 from him above and beyond what the insurance would pay.
The patient canceled the operation and returned to the surgeon. Dr. Singer told his patient an open secret: that hospitals and other providers will usually negotiate a much lower cash price for people who don't use insurance. The doctors are happy to take a lower fee now instead of paying office staff to wade through the insurance paperwork for reimbursement much later.
Dr. Singer made a few phone calls; the anesthesiologist accepted an upfront cash price, a different hospital charged a reasonable fee for its services. The patient had the operation the next day with a total out-of-pocket charge of a bit over $3,000. He saved $17,000 by not using his insurance.
Most people don't shop around like this because they have no incentive to do so – their insurance picks up almost all of the bill. But with insurance deductibles becoming higher and higher, more people are beginning to shop around. That's not easy to do because most hospitals keep their prices a secret.
One hospital that is very public about its prices is the Surgery Center of Oklahoma, a for-profit facility that offers first-rate care at low prices. About five years ago, they posted their price list for more than 100 common procedures. And those prices can be as low as one-tenth the prices at other hospitals.
Compare the cost of a "complex bilateral sinus procedure" performed at a nearby non-profit hospital, to the cost performed by the same surgeon at the Surgery Center. The other hospital charged $33,505, not including the surgeon's or anesthesiologist's fees. The Surgery Center charged just $5,885 total for the entire procedure.
The other hospital delivered a four-page bill with detailed cost items for such things as $360 for a steroid that wholesales for 75 cents, and a total of $630 for three pills that cost about $1.50. The Center's bill was a single line with every cost item included in the published fixed price.
The Surgery Center is able to keep its prices so low partly because it takes cash upfront; it does not accept insurance. But what about people who can't afford several thousand dollars for an operation? In many cases, the Center's total price is less than just the co-pay and deductible would be at another hospital.
The Surgery Center pays "tons of attention" to making systems more efficient. One surgeon reports that he can perform twice as many surgeries per day at the Center because it operates so efficiently. At the other hospital, he spends half of his time waiting around for the patient to arrive and then for the equipment to arrive.
As one measure of efficiency, the Center has no administrative employees. At the other hospital, the eighteen top administrators are paid an average of $413,000. At the Center, all of the staff except a small clerical staff are involved with patient care. The head nurse does double duty as chief of human resources and building maintenance.
The Surgery Center of Oklahoma might have been the first to provide transparent pricing but they are far from the only ones. One commentator described the movement toward transparent pricing as a "fever pitch … pretty soon [all providers] will be fully transparent."
The effect of published cash-upfront pricing is nationwide and even international. Canadians who could get "free" treatment at home are flying to Oklahoma to save months or even years on waiting lists. Other patients are taking a firm price quote from the Surgery Center along with an airline ticket for Oklahoma City, and are challenging the local hospital to charge a competitive price.
Much lower prices, higher quality, whether it is Direct Primary Care or surgery, physicians are producing real reform, effective reform. Politicians think reform means forcing more people to buy insurance they don't like. Doctors know that real reform is to get insurance out of the way, to let nothing come between doctor and patient. My money is on the doctors.
Health Insurance is not Health Care
Tammy Bruce opines that ObamaCare is not just a train wreck, because after all, once a train wreck is over, it is over. It doesn't keep on going. No, ObamaCare is more like a cancer, growing and destroying everything.
A California man bought insurance on the ObamaCare exchange, then called a doctor for an appointment. He called every single doctor who was listed as being in-network, but none of them actually was.
In the normal world, this would be called "fraud." In Obama's America, it's called a "snag," and on a national scale, the Obama regime labels it "Shut up, Fox News!"
After all, isn't the goal getting everyone insured? Who cares if you can't actually see a doctor or get health care, because everyone will get a terrific piece of paper that says "health insurance policy." Equality, at last — everyone's got the same thing; namely, nothing at all.
A woman cancer patient enrolled in ObamaCare, then went to see her oncologist, only to be greeted by a sign at the door announcing that they did not accept any of the ObamaCare plans. She says that she is, "a complete fan of the Affordable Care Act, but now I can't sleep at night."
When the Congressional Budget Office forecast that ObamaCare would cause 2.5 million people to lose their jobs, the White House responded that those people were just a "small percentage of the economy."
Back here in New Hampshire, Jeanne Shaheen and Carol-Shea Porter say that they would vote for ObamaCare all over again if they could. Whose side are they on?
Guilty until proven innocent
"It is better 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer." — Benjamin Franklin
You and your spouse are eating breakfast in your home of nearly fifty years. Several vans pull up, armed police stream out and tell you that you have 10 minutes to grab your things and leave. Permanently. They are seizing your property. No notice, no warning, no court hearing, no due process of any kind. You might believe that could happen in a dictatorship, but can you believe that it happened in Philadelphia?
A police officer stopped a car and falsely stated that a taillight was out. The officer then claimed that the driver "looked like a drug dealer" and had him searched by a drug dog. The officers asked him if he was carrying drugs, guns, or money. He replied that he had $3,500 in cash. The officer seized the money, claiming that it must be proceeds of drug dealing. The man was never charged with a crime.
Terry Dehko and his daughter Sandy run a small grocery store. In January, 2013, the federal government seized all the money from the store bank account on the theory that his cash deposits might have been a cover for illegal money-laundering. No evidence, no due process. The Dehkos had done absolutely nothing wrong, but the government took their money. A year later, he is still trying to get his money back.
Welcome to the world of civil asset forfeiture, where people are guilty until proven innocent. If police have the slightest suspicion that property, including cars, cash, or even homes, was connected to a crime, then they can take the property, and dare the owner to try to get it back.
The theory behind civil forfeiture was to take the ill-gotten gains of major crime figures even if those criminals could not be caught and brought to trial. But now almost all the seizures involve minor criminals and all too often people who have committed no crime at all.
In most cases, the police act as judge, jury, and executioner. They seize money on the excuse that they think it was going to be used to buy drugs, they don't charge the "suspect" with even a violation, they just send him on his way. There is no due process, no court hearing, the victim is given no information about how to get his money back.
There might not be even the slightest evidence of any crime but the victim has to sue the state, then prove his innocence to get his property returned. The cost of hiring an attorney is usually more than the amount of money seized so most people give up.
The police, and sometimes the DA, keep the money as their own, and spend it however they see fit, with no oversight in the executive branch or by the legislature. A district attorney in Texas spent forfeiture money on an office Margarita machine. Police in a small Florida town spent $23,704 on trips with first-class flights and luxury car rentals. The Milwaukee County Sheriff's office used civil forfeiture funds to buy nine flat-screen TVs for $8,200, and two Segways for $14,500.
The late Congressman Henry Hyde exclaimed, "Civil asset forfeiture has allowed police to view all of America as some giant national K-Mart, where prices are not just lower, but non-existent — a sort of law enforcement 'pick-and-don't-pay.'"
The abuse of power, absence of due process, and harm to innocent people has created opposition across the political spectrum, from the ACLU on the left to the Heritage Foundation on the right. The non-partisan Institute for Justice has fought many forfeiture cases (all pro-bono) in the courts.
A former Justice Department forfeiture official became so dismayed by the injustice of the forfeiture system that he switched from prosecution to defense. David Smith explained, "We are paying assistant U.S. attorneys to carry out the theft of property from often the most defenseless citizens," given that people sometimes have limited resources to fight a seizure after their assets are taken.
We do not know whether New Hampshire has experienced some of these abuses – the record keeping requirements are so lax that we cannot know. We do know that our laws are so weak as to allow these same kinds of problems to occur here. Many of us think we should reform the statutes to prevent future problems.
A bill, HB 1609, has been offered with bi-partisan support to reform our forfeiture laws.
The bill requires that a person must have his day in court. He must first be convicted of a crime in criminal court before his property can be forfeited. No one will lose his property on the mere suspicion of a police officer.
Any forfeiture proceeds go to the state's general fund, not to a police department's slush fund. This is the same as fines for other crimes – they go to the state, where legislators during the budget process decide how to appropriate them. Police departments and prosecutors cannot divvy up the funds for their own benefit.
If property such as a car or house is connected to a crime, but the owner(s) were neither involved nor had any knowledge of the crime, those innocent owners cannot have their property forfeited.
Why Not Common Core?
Extracts from an interesting article by Barbara Haney, PhD.:
If the objective of the K-12 education system in Alaska is to produce students who can excel in the areas of math and science, the Alaska State Standards and the Common Core will not produce that result. These standards are not more rigorous, they are simply ridiculous. They are developmentally inappropriate and do not specify outcomes. Standards specify outcomes, not processes. With rare exceptions, the Alaska State Standards and the Common Core specify processes, not outcomes.
It is noteworthy that states have been fleeing the consortia and the common core. Michigan has paused and is re-writing their standards. Massachusetts has paused implementation. Maine and Florida left the consortia via executive order and they are fighting to get the common core out of their state with the assistance of both the governor and the legislature. Georgia left the consortia and is re-writing their standards. Alabama and Utah left the consortia, and there are active movements to get the common core out of that state. Pennsylvania has an effort to rescind the core as well, because oil companies like Exxon and Anadarko have thrown considerable support behind the core making the job of Senate Democrats difficult. (Note: Mike Hanley's brother, Mark Hanley, is a lobbyist for Anadarko). New York State has what could be termed as a rebellion, and the rejection of the common core was decisive in the school board elections in Buffalo, New York as well as in the Mayor's race in New York City. Governor Cuomo is a major advocate of the Common Core nationally, along with his anti-gun agenda.
:The developmentally inappropriate nature of the common core has had disastrous results in New York and in other parts of the country. The increase in suicides and clinical depressions that have accompanied the implementation of the common core are well documented. One researcher who has been tracking the impact of the standards on mental health is Mary Calamia. Her research shows a marked increase in self-mutilating behaviors, insomnia, panic attacks, depressed mood, school refusal, and suicidal thoughts during the state exam cycle last spring.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Sprint and Samsung this week launched yet another messaging-oriented low-cost phone, the Samsung Seek sporting both a touchscreen and a slide-out QWERT keyboard. The Seek is available immediately for $30 after rebates and with a two-year contract. Targeted toward younger audiences the phone includes native support for Facebook, MySpace and Photobucket photo uploads. Additionally, the Seek supports instant messaging, email and Microsoft Exchange accounts.
The Seek has a 2.6-inch QVGA TFT touchscreen with 240--by-320-pixel resolution, a 1.3-megapixel camera with no video recording capability, a music player with standard 3.5-mm headset jack, 128MB RAM/256MB ROM with a microSD memory card slot that can handle up to 32GB cards (sold separately). Other features include voice-activated dialing and downloadable apps.
The Seek will come in eco-friendly packaging made from recycled materials. The packaging will include a free shipping label which will enable the purchaser to recycle their old phone. This is a great idea. All phones should come with eco-friendly packaging, and in fact, some other phones already utilize recycled materials in their construction. However, product packaging--recyclable or not--is arguably not a good determinant of the usefulness or value of the phone itself.
The real significance of the Seek is that once-premium smartphone features such as touchscreens and Exchange support are now found in low-priced feature phones. It also confirms the fact that mobile social networking is now seen as a central function of a phone. Deep integration with social networks such as Facebook is now a feature demanded in the mass market. Conversely, the Facebook experience is becoming increasingly a mobile, constant presence.
It will be interesting to see whether Sprint will allow innovative third-party apps into its app store. It will also be interesting to see whether apps purchased for the Seek will be locked to the device. One thing is certain: the frenetic pace of technological development will continue to drive handset competition in the market. Commodity phones such as the Seek will force the reigning champions, iPhone and Android, to step up their game.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

TEAMS: Baltimore Ravens, New England Patriots, New York Giants, Oakland Athletics
FOXBORO, Mass. — Tom Brady has long been viewed as an elite quarterback. Even Ray Lewis referred to Brady as "one of the greatest quarterback in NFL history," after Sunday's AFC Championship win. But Joe Flacco proved yet again why he too deserves that title.
Flacco outplayed Brady in last year's AFC Championship Game loss and he one-upped the great No. 12 yet again, throwing a trio of touchdown passes, only this time the Ravens came out victorious. With the win, Flacco set a new postseason mark with his record sixth road playoff victory and he clinched his first ever trip to the Super Bowl.
Beyond the obvious feats, Flacco also accomplished something that only one other quarterback — Mark Sanchez, if you can believe it — has ever done by beating both Peyton Manning and Brady in the same postseason. His gutsy efforts in both wins, and knack for playing his best in the biggest moments, have also established him as maybe the most clutch quarterback in football today — Eli Manning, you...

To find out how many backlinks the search engines think your website has you need to perform a backlink search with each search engine. Google shares this information only with site owners when they log into Google's Webmaster Central.
I always thought google provided the publicly available link: instruction/prefix for this task. eg. link:www.example.com/index.html is supposed to return all the pages that link to this page. However, it never provides much in the way of results in my experience?! When Google's Webmaster Tools certainly does.
I suppose successful backlinks should appear in your referrer log?

Major League Baseball isn't usually considered a contact sport, but collisions can and do happen. Our Katie Gibas has more.
"As we've seen, pitchers have gotten hit in the head. And I find that to be, as a former player, my biggest fear, as a father of a son who plays on the big league level, that's probably my biggest fear is the line drive back up the middle. Short of putting catching gear on a pitcher, to totally protect them, it's just one of those things. It's a risk of the game," said Steve Grilli, Former MLB Player, Telecommentator for Chief's TV Game.
And line drivers aren't the only concussion concern.
Base runners colliding with infielders, particularly the catcher, is a problem.
And players running into walls or jumping into the stands to catch a fly ball are also at risk that was often the case for former MLB player Ryan Freel.
Freel committed suicide last December and after study, researchers say he had Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy or CTE.
Freel played for the Syracuse Chiefs in the late 90s and 2000s.
He played for several Major League teams in his career.
He's the first MLB player to be diagnosed with CTE.
"It's a dementia, a condition that affects the brain. There's a deterioration and deposit of different chemicals in the brain that can cause psychiatric problems. It can cause cognitive and mood problems and can be quite disabling," said Brian Rieger, PhD, Upstate Concussion Center Director.
Experts say rule changes can only go so far in terms of protecting players. They say more education is needed and better treatment after the injury.
"We're never going to eliminate concussions or head injuries from sports. At some point, we have to accept some risk, but we have to make sure that we educate people about those risks and about what to do when the injury occurs," Rieger added.
In the winter meetings this year, MLB went so far as to ban home plate collisions, so as to protect catchers from a variety of injuries, including concussions.

Strawberry Donuts
However you want to spell it, donut or doughnut, I'm in love with these Strawberry Donuts! I'm super excited for YOU to try these amazing little guys! They are light, soft, tender, not overly sweet and oh so spring-y tasting! There are little bits of REAL strawberries in each bite! My husband actually told me, these are the BEST donuts he has EVER had! I know, I've been using lots of exclamation marks, but they are just that good and deserve every little exclamation mark! Can you believe it, Gluten Free, Egg Free Strawberry Donuts?!!! They are a party in your mouth!
Donuts might sound really hard to make, but really these are quite simple. You CAN do it! Just make sure you get yourself a nice donut pan or two to use, so you can bake them, not deep fry them (your stomach will thank you). I'm actually thankful I have three pans so I can double the recipe if we have guests. Each batch makes 8-9 donuts.
Let's get down to business.
2 c gluten free flour mix (I used this one, scroll to the bottom of the bread recipe to find it)
3/4 t xanthan gum
1/3 c sugar
1 t baking powder
1/4 t cinnamon
1/2 t salt
1/4 c coconut oil (melt before measuring)
1 T melted butter
1/3 c milk
1/2 c mashed strawberries
1 T strawberry jam
1 T 100% pure maple syrup
2 c powdered sugar
1/4 t salt
1/4 c milk
1 T strawberry jam
1 t vanilla extract
1. Preheat your oven to 425.
2. Grease donut pan with cooking spray or brush with melted coconut oil.
3. In a medium bowl, combine gluten free flour, xanthan gum, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Set aside. (You could even make a couple extra batches to store for next time you want to bake them)
4. In a glass measuring cup, melt/measure the coconut oil. Then add butter and melt together. Stir in milk, mashed strawberries, jam and syrup. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring just until combined (don't over mix).
5. Put dough into a plastic baggie, snip off a little corner and pipe into prepared donut pans.
6. Bake 12-15 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
7. To make the glaze, combine powdered sugar, salt, milk, jam and vanilla. Mix together well.
8. Dip the top half of warm donuts, into the glaze. If you want them to be more sweet, you can dip them into the glaze again.
Easy right?!
I hope you love them too!
This recipe has been shared on Slightly Indulgent Tuesdays, Allergy Free Wednesdays, Gluten Free Wednesdays, Allergy Friendly Fridays & Gluten Free Fridays.

That's Horrible! There's a difference between a prank and straight up bullying. This is way over that line. This is like, on the other side of the continent form that line. These boys should be charged with harrassment as well as assault and battery.
I am interested in licensing this clip for a TV show. I work for ChiWay Entertainment that licenses clips to every clip show currently airing. Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com to discuss further details. please email me as soon as possible. Thanks!

I wonder why there is a recession in the US.: the most productive age group doing this sh7t... this is why Iran stands to overtake the US..
He didn't get owned!: He was set up, That guy in the white shirt needs a sucker punch in the face just when he's gonna take a bite of pizza, then kick him in the balls and pour warm coke in his hair.

Cheryl Cole has insisted she is getting over her X Factor humiliation after surviving far worse scrapes, best pal
Kimberley Walsh has revealed.
She doesn't think losing her job as a talent show judge is a 'big deal' and told friends she's 'fine'.
The 27-year-old Girls Aloud singer has had to toughen up over the past couple of years after divorcing hubby Ashley Cole and battling malaria.
'Cheryl's had a lot to deal with over the years, both personally and healthwise, so all the current press stories aren't going to be a huge deal for her,' said her best mate Kimberley Walsh.
The Fight For This Love singer has not been seen since being given her marching orders from the States and has been holed up in Berkshire, confiding in her mother Joan Callaghan, manager Will.i.am and – surprisingly – her ex husband.
'The good thing is she's back here for a while with her family and friends,' added Walsh.
'She's got Will.i.am too, he's a good friend and he's totally got her back which is great.'
Cole's defiant stance comes after Simon Cowell this week apologised for the debacle that left his friend out of work.
It was also revealed that Cole's replacement – former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger – found out about her role via the press .
Meanwhile, new X Factor judges Gary Barlow and Tulisa Contostavlos have become unlikely drinking buddies on the road.
The pair have been enjoying their favourite tipples out and about in Glasgow.

Jackie Riellys Pub
3964 Hempstead Tpke
Bethpage, NY 11714
7:00 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 15, 2012
Greg Holgerson was a highly decorated New York City police Officer in the Anti-Crime team in Fort Greene Brooklyn from 1998 till 2003 when he switched over to Nassau County Police Department and graduated number one in his class. Upon coming out he was put into a two man car in the first precinct in Roosevelt, one of the worst areas in Nassau where he has gone on to excel and has been named cop of the month four times. In July of 2012, just days after the high of his life with his son John Thomas being born Greg went to the hospital with what he thought was a concussion, he was informed he had a blood illness. He kept this news from his family until it was officially confirmed by LIJ hospital where he was told he had acute myelogenous leukemia and would start aggresive treatments of chemotherapy the next day. He went into the hospital prepared to fight for his life knowing he had a wife and two very young children to make it home to. Fight he did as he went up against a week of 105 degree temps and a rare side affect of the chemo which affected his vision and left him in a cloudy world unable to focus. Through it all he has been a fighter despite constant setbacks, the largest being the assasination of his partner of six years Arthur Lopez Nassau County ESU officer. Despite his own problems he gave himself to arties parents and went from id the body with arties parents to planning the funeral with them, always being there for them never once worrying about himself. He has given his life to helping people and it is time that he is given some help.
On November 15th at Jackie Riellys Pub in Plainedge the Nassau County PBA and the First Precinct will hosting a benefit in his honor as well as in the honor of his slain partner Arthur Lopez.
Please help to donate in any way possible to help this great cause. A BAB Giftbasket with tickets will be up for raffle.

Attorneys general urge Supreme Court to strike down Prop 8
Fourteen state attorneys general on Thursday filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of marriage rights for same-sex couples.
"Equality under the law is a founding principle of America, but we will not all be equal until everyone has the freedom to choose whom to love and whom to spend their lives with," Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden said during a news conference in Wilmington. "It is unconstitutional to deny same-sex couples the freedom to marry."
The brief onto which Connecticut Attorney General George Jepsen, D.C. Attorney General Irvin Nathan, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller, Maine Attorney General Janet Mills, Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, New Hampshire Attorney General Michael Delaney, New Mexico Attorney General Gary King, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, Vermont Attorney General William Sorrell and Washington Attorney General Robert Ferguson argues California's voter-approved Proposition 8 denies a variety of legal and social benefits afforded through marriage to same-sex couples and their children. It also highlights nine states and the nation's capital allow gays and lesbians to marry.
California Attorney General Kamala Harris on Wednesday filed a separate brief with the U.S. Supreme court that urges the justices to strike down Prop 8.
"Our experience in Massachusetts has unequivocally shown that ending the exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage has only strengthened the institution," Coakley said. "We urge the court to strike Proposition 8 down because it discriminates against gay and lesbian individuals and their families."
The briefs come ahead of a likely debate on a bill in the Delaware Legislature that would allow gays and lesbians to marry.
An Illinois state House committee on Tuesday approved a same-sex marriage measure, while Minnesota legislators earlier on Thursday introduced a bill that would allow gays and lesbians to marry. Lawmakers in New Jersey and Rhode Island are expected to consider the issue in the coming days and weeks.
"We at Equality Delaware could not be any prouder of our attorney general, Beau Biden, for standing up for freedom and marriage equality for all Delaware families," Equality Delaware President Lisa Goodman, who spoke at Biden's news conference, told the Washington Blade.
The state attorneys general filed their brief with the court on the same day Baltimore Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo and Chris Kluwe of the Minnesota Vikings again expressed their support for marriage rights for same-sex couples in their own brief that urged the justices to strike down Prop 8.
Equality Virginia, the Utah Pride Center, the Campaign for Southern Equality and other LGBT advocacy groups on Wednesday filed a brief that urges the justices to uphold lower court rulings that found both Prop 8 and DOMA unconstitutional. Former Republican National Committee Chair Ken Mehlman, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.,) Florida Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, gay California Assembly Speaker John Perez and the U.S. Conference of Mayors are among those who have either filed briefs in support of marriage rights for same-sex couples or signed onto them.
Biden and other state attorneys general are expected to file a brief in the DOMA case on Fiday.
The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the two cases on March 26-27.
