Fifty-one pounds of methamphetamine was seized in a bust of a stash house in west Phoenix.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio called it one of the largest meth busts in the history of his agency.
The drugs have a street value of nearly $1 million and were likely headed for a variety of American cities, Arpaio said. He said the drugs are believed to have come from Mexico.
Arpaio said investigators learned of the drugs through intelligence they gathered and used surveillance to track the 18 bricks of the drugs to the house.
One drug possession arrest was made in the bust. Phoenix resident Armando Chairez, 26 was taken into custody. At the time of his arrest, Chairez was also in possession of cocaine, a .40 caliber semi-automatic handgun and about $3,000 in cash, Arpaio said.
Chairez was booked into the Fourth Avenue Jail on class 4 felony drug possession charges.

Walford Primary School pupil wins road safety poster competition
1:22pm Tuesday 31st December 2013 in News
A SCHOOL near Ross-on-Wye is £500 better off after one of its pupils won a poster competition to keep people safe on the roads.
Pupils at Walford Primary School learnt about the importance of children being easily seen near traffic, such as selecting a bright coat, providing fluorescent and reflective armbands or a school band.
The competition, part of Herefordshire Council's 'Be Bright, Be Seen' campaign, was won by year three pupil Ebony Shepherd, whose poster will be printed and distributed to schools throughout the county.
She also received a framed copy and her school £500 in prize money.
"We are really delighted that Ebony's poster has won this competition and that the school will receive the £500 prize money, which we will be putting to good use," said headteacher Louise George.
"The safety of our pupils is paramount and the Be Bright, Be Seen campaign gave us and opportunity to raise awareness with parents of the need to make sure that appropriate high visibility clothing or accessories are worn on the school commute."

The Cubs' Ryan Dempster has been one of the best starting pitchers in the major leagues in 2012, despite two stints on the disabled list. With the Cubs floundering, and Dempster in the final year of his contract, that's gotten multiple teams interested in acquiring him before the non-waiver deadline July 31. How many teams? Quite a few, says Bruce Levine:
With a little more than two weeks until baseball's trade deadline, 10 teams have shown legitimate interest in acquiring Dempster's services for the remainder of the season, according to industry sources. Those clubs include the Los Angeles Dodgers, Cleveland Indians, Detroit Tigers, New York Yankees, Chicago White Sox and Atlanta Braves.
The Cubs have started, in earnest, to look at minor league players at the lower levels of almost every farm system. The organization is looking for young pitching in return for its veteran players, but according to a baseball source who has inquired about trading with the Cubs, a well regarded third-base prospect is also very high on their wish list.
Dempster threw six shutout innings against the Diamondbacks on Saturday and now has 33 consecutive scoreless innings, the longest such streak for a Cubs pitcher since Ken Holtzman in 1969. Many thought Saturday's start might be the final one for Dempster in a Cubs uniform, but Levine's article seems to indicate the Cubs are still in the process of doing their due diligence. With 16 days till the deadline, it could still be a while before Dempster is a former Cub.

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. – Bloomington Police are reminding parents and teachers to remain vigilant for any suspicious activities at schools, daycares and parks after the arrest of a registered sex offender near a Bloomington elementary school.
Sean M. Garmer, 42, was arrested late last month and charged with two counts of being a sex offender loitering near a school after he was seen loitering around two Bloomington elementary schools.
Garmer was convicted in 1992 for Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse/Bodily Harm and again in 2010 for failure to report as required by sex offenders.

We stayed at the Peace and Plenty Inn last month and highly recommend it! The hostess was so kind and we just thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The evening treats were so nice and the breakfast was so beautiful and delicious… I traveled with our children and we all had a very special stay. The innkeeper took time to help us find a theater in the newspaper and to converse with us about different things to do. The children enjoyed playing with the innkeeper's huge Golden Retriever:) We are grateful for the sweet memories of our overnight stay in St. Augustine!

Gogo airline Wi-Fi goes global in 2013, with Inmarsat Ka-band satellite for 50Mbps speeds
Gogo revealed plans to boost its in-flight internet service back in March, but today we're getting the first details. The company's partnering with Inmarsat to test global Ka-band satellite coverage starting in the middle of 2013 — when the first satellite launches — at speeds up to 50Mbps. Currently, Gogo provides the likes of Delta,
Southwest, Virgin America, American and Alaska Airlines with an air-to-ground network of 3.1Mbps EV-DO Rev. A cellular, much like Verizon and Sprint 3G, but that doesn't extend across either ocean. ViaSat-1, which started orbiting the globe this month, might have provided faster North American satellite Wi-Fi sooner, but after the Inmarsat 5 satellite network is complete (presently slated for 2014), airlines should be able to offer complete global coverage.

text: Buzz's Picks For Fall Movies: Dramas Buzz's Picks For Fall Movies: Dramas by POPSUGAR Entertainment 9/16/09 4 Reactions 0 Shares Print 0 0 0 0 0 I've already given you guys a look at the comedies and romance flicks that are on my radar for Fall, but now it's time to tackle the heavier stuff: the dramas. There are definitely a few Oscar contenders in this list, so check 'em out. Photos courtesy of Fox Searchlight, Sony Picture Classics, IMDB, and Lionsgate Up in the Air What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I'll go see almost anything with George Clooney, but Up in the Air also has Jason Reitman of Juno fame at its directing helm, so chances are, it's got to be good. The film follows Clooney as a corporate downsizer who constantly travels, and his connections — or lack there of — with the people in his life. The trailer doesn't reveal much, but the film is already getting acclaim and Oscar whispers all over town, so check it out on Dec. 4. Photo courtesy of Paramount Pictures 1 / 8 Broken Embraces What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Penelope Cruz is always at her best in Pedro Almodovar films, and I'm expecting another powerful performance from Broken Embraces. Cruz plays Lena, an aspiring actress stuck in a relationship with an obsessive older man who practically keeps her locked up. Even though the reviews overseas for Broken Embraces have been mixed, Almodovar always has a knack for fascinating female characters and that noir style that's beautiful — albeit tense — to watch. The film comes to theaters Nov. 20. Photo courtesy of Sony Pictures Classics 2 / 8 Me and Orson Welles What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Me and Orson Welles follows a young wannabe actor (Zac Efron) who gets cast in the famous director's theatrical production of Julius Caesar. Claire Danes plays his older love interest. The trailer looks pretty cute — even though Efron's character does seem like a 1930s Troy Bolton. The majority of you said that you couldn't take Efron seriously in a dramatic film role, but I've been dying to see him break out of High School Musical and into more mature stuff. Check it out in theaters on November 25. Photo courtesy of CinemaNX Films 3 / 8 Amelia What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The buzzed-about Amelia biopic looks like a safe bet for Oscar time, thanks to acting chameleon Hilary Swank as the iconic aviator. The trailer is visually stunning, complete with director Mira Nair's signature sweeping landscapes and rich colors. I'm also interested in learning more about Earhart's personal life, like her marriage to George Putnam (Richard Gere) and affair with Gene Vidal (Ewan McGregor). The film hits theaters October 23. Photo courtesy of Fox Searchlight 4 / 8 The Road What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Based on the novel by Cormac McCarthy, The Road follows one man on a trip with his son after most of the earth's humans are wiped out. McCarthy is the author behind No Country for Old Men, so I'm curious to see if this one has the same award-worthy success. But mainly, Viggo Mortensen just looks super intense and borderline cuckoo in the trailer — creepy. Be prepared to have the heebie-jeebies when the film comes out on October 16. 6 / 8 A Serious Man What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This latest film from the Coen brothers arsenal follows university professor Larry Gopnik (Michael Stuhlbarg) as his life is falling into pieces — his wife leaves him, his children are delinquents, and someone is threatening his tenure at work. While the plot of A Serious Man may sound on the depressing side, count on the Coens to mix in plenty of dark humor. Bonus: Richard Kind (loved him in his Spin City days!) plays Gopnick's menacing brother. The film hits theaters October 2, but it in the meantime, check out the trailer. Photo courtesy of Focus Features 6 / 8 An Education What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Set in 1960s London, An Education is a coming-of-age story with a twist. New face Carey Mulligan plays Jenny, a prep school girl swept up into a world of fancy dinners and trips to Paris when she starts dating an older man named David (Peter Sarsgaard). Rumor is Mulligan is the one to watch in this film and she looks particularly compelling in the trailer. Another plus: author Nick Hornby penned the screenplay. Check it out in theaters October 9. Photo courtesy of Sony Pictures Classics 7 / 8 Precious What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A drama about an overweight, abused girl with Mariah Carey in a supporting role doesn't exactly sound like a must-see, but Precious has been one of the most talked-about films on the festival circuit. Plus, Oprah is one of the executive producers — and obviously anything Oprah touches turns to gold. The trailer looks emotionally heavy with a few uplifting moments (thank god!), but I'll be buying a ticket to see the performances. Word is Mo'Nique (yes, the same Mo'Nique from The Parkers and Phat Girlz) could get an Oscar nom for her portrayal of Precious's mother. The film is in theaters Nov. 6.

Consolidated continues lease agreement with Shelbyville CUSD #4
MATTOON – Consolidated Communications recently signed a new lease agreement providing the suite for the Shelbyville Community Unit School District #4 Unit Office in the company's building on Main Street for $1 per year.
Consolidated has leased the 1,500-square-foot suite in its central office to the school district since 2001.
Superintendent Denise Bence said having the district office in the leased space frees up valuable classroom space in the district's buildings.
"Each year the building, utilities and maintenance have been provided at no cost, and that is a contribution of well over $18,000 per year," she explained. "The support Consolidated Communications continues to give is invaluable to our district and most of all our students."

Discounted legal service is now available for some families in Northeast Oklahoma.
A Miami, Oklahoma non-profit hopes to ease the burden of legal costs.
Wayne Kennon is one of many attorneys in his state that participates in Oklahoma Attorney Resources, or AOR. The nonprofit provides legal assistance for low to middle income working families who need help.
"I like it because it allows me to do what I like to do, because Ii like to practice family law, but let's face it, this is a business and I have bills to pay," says Kennon.
He and other lawyers working with OAR work at a discounted rate. Their OAR clients pay on a sliding scale of what they can afford.
According to OAR, they target the working poor and aim to fill the gap between legal aid and private attorneys.
Despite being around since 1998 most people we talked to hadn't heard of the opportunity, but they did stand behind the concept.
Cost is a big factor in legal cases, something a lot of families simply can not afford and is why the Tulsa based nonprofit chose to expand its services to 50 Oklahoma counties, including Ottawa County.
"We had been getting calls from Ottawa County and we began an expansion project for people who have this need," says OAR administrator, Steve Henderson.
AOR prescreens all of its clients to make sure the need is there. They say their discount rate and monthly payment issue allows many Oklahomans quality representation they otherwise would not have access to.
The nonprofit says statewide it gets about 60 calls for legal representation every day.
The group says it routinely helps with legal issues ranging from divorce, child custody and support.

---- — The Batesville High School golf team claimed its fourth consecutive Ripley County golf title and the eighth in the tournament's nine year existence.
Delayed one day because of weather, the four teams traveled to North Branch Golf Course last Wednesday to determine the outcome.
Batesville finished with a team score of 185. Both the Milan and South Ripley had a team score of 225, but the fifth player's score broke the tie and runner-up was awarded to the Indians. Jac-Cen-Del was unable to field a complete team.
Madison McCreary was the tournament medalist and was awarded the MVP honor. McCreary carded a nine hole score of 43, which was two strokes better than teammate Meg Liter.
Samantha Heidlage was third for BHS and fourth overall with a score of 48.
Gabby Cooper rounded out the scoring for the Lady Bulldogs with a 49 followed closely by Madison Harsh with a 50.
South Ripley's Mackenzie Black was third overall with a 45. Jac-Cen-Del's Sydney Keene finished tied for fourth with a 48.
McCreary claims EIAC title
The Lady Bulldogs placed second as a team at the Eastern Indiana Athletic Conference golf tournament on Saturday at Brookville Golf Course, but have the individual medalist.
McCreary posted an 18-hole score of 73 to earn medalist honors. Connersville's Tate Adams was eight strokes behind the EIAC Most Valuable Player in second place.
As a team, the Lady Bulldogs finished with a score of 361, which was 11 shots off the pace set by conference newcomer Connersville. Rushville place third with the help of a tie-breaker. East Central was fourth with 392.

How to express support for Newtown families
Original post made on Dec 19, 2012
Read the full story here Web Link posted Tuesday, December 18, 2012, 4:46 PM

From the Huffington Post. The headline is "Residents...Want Journalists to Leave Town"
"'Please tell them to just ease up,' Teri Brunelli, a Newtown store owner, told reporter Adrienne LaFrance. 'It happened and we're going through it. Just let it be for now.'
The BBC's Jonny Dymond reported being told, 'Go home, please, go home, all of you," by a man who said that he knew four or five of the families who lost children.'"
I have to assume that goes for condolence letters from strangers as well.
on Dec 19, 2012 at 8:57 am
RW - I don't see the connection you are making between condolence letters and heavy media presence. I fully agree that the media should leave that town and let the community grieve in private. (I cringe when I see reporters standing on street corners, loudly giving facts about the gunman to the camera, while residents (some children) are walking by). However condolence letters are quiet, non-intrusive ways of letting those folks know that people care. I would think (hope at least) that the letters are screened before they are passed on to the families too. After that, the families can do what they like with them. They can perhaps let the letters sit in a pile and open them at a later time, on their terms.
on Dec 19, 2012 at 10:52 am
I am from Newtown and still have family and friends there or very close by. I have spoken with quite a few people over there the last few days. I do not know anyone with kids who were killed. But I am only a couple steps removed and have heard some personal stories that would make most grown men break down in tears.
I have heard that the press has taken over the town. It is harder to find a parking space, reporters keep coming up to people to ask them to talk, etc. I think it is time for the press to back off. But of course they are just doing their job...They are providing what their viewers want. Two different reporters spoke with me yesterday here in Palo Alto (apparently there aren't many people from little Newtown in this area). They were very respectful. But I know it could be much different for someone who had family at the school on Friday.
As for personal letters, I think this is very different. Someone could set aside a letter to read when they are ready. It's not "in their face" the way the reporters can be. I would say send them if you feel the urge. It is at times like this that we should all extend the idea of "neighbor" past your town's border.
That being said, have you reached out to your own neighbor recently? Perhaps that is a good place to start. Be aware of what is going on with your neighbors so you know when something out of the ordinary might be cause for concern. And if you care about increasing security at schools, maybe start with the ones closest to you...Tell them you feel it could be good to hire someone to patrol (doesn't need to be an armed guard or police)? And of course if you have kids, check in with them regularly to see how they are feeling and if there is anything we can do to help.

Thanks to the (temporary) light workload at the theatre I'm interning at this summer, the costume shop collectively decided it was time for a personal project. I found a lovely (and simple!) 1950's vintage Butterick pattern for a straight skirt with a godet on the left side. I think the pattern said it had "French flair".
I got 1 3/4 yards of a lovely green herringbone cotton, cut 4 inches off the pattern's hem and sewed away. This is the first time I've worked with a real vintage pattern and was tickled that they called for a "slide fastener". I also figured out what a "stay ribbon" was, so that my godet isn't swinging all over the place. The hem is hand sewn. All in all, I'm really happy with this, even if I told myself I was going to stop making so many skirts!

I'm going to catch you up real quick: there was talk that the Washington Nationals were super interested in C.J. Wilson. Then there was talk that the Nationals were not very interested in C.J. Wilson. Then there was talk that C.J. Wilson had received a six-year contract offer, and that the six-year contract offer came from the Nationals.
Immediately, it made sense, and immediately, there was skepticism. Just Sunday it seemed like the Nationals were pulling away from Wilson. Adam Kilgore did some digging, and here's what he found:
Three Nats sources with knowledge say they have not offered C.J. Wilson a six-year deal. I don't think there's much interest at all.
So much for that, I guess. It doesn't look like the Nationals extended the offer to Wilson. It doesn't look like the Nationals are all that interested in Wilson at all.
But is there still a six-year offer sitting on the table from somebody else? Keep in mind that was a separate rumor, and that rumor hasn't been shot down. It's a mystery!

As the United States Supreme Court hears arguments over same-sex marriage, gay and lesbian couples in North Carolina are paying close attention. That includes Joni Madison and Gina Kilpatrick."It's very nerve-wracking about the Supreme Court," said Joni Madison.Madison and her partner Gina Kilpatrick have been a couple for just shy of 19 years and considered themselves married already, but they're holding out to make their union official in their home state of North Carolina."It would be a very happy day to know that we could -- that it was a possibility," Kilpatrick said. "So I can imagine it would add to the great life that we already have."The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Tuesday over the constitutionality of a voter-approved gay marriage ban in California known as Proposition 8. Wednesday, the SCOTUS will ask itself the same question about the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman."It's about whether we're going to treat everybody equally under the law," North Carolina American Civil Liberties Union legal director Chris Brook said.Brook hopes justices overturn DOMA and Prop 8, but says neither decision would likely have a direct impact on North Carolina's very own gay marriage ban. Voters passed Amendment One -- an amendment defining marriage specifically as between a man and a woman -- last year."But it would certainly continue the momentum that we've been seeing legally toward equality for our gay and lesbian friends and neighbors," Brook said.It's a momentum opponents of same-sex marriage want the high court to stop."We're looking at the question of protecting the institution of marriage," Jere Royall, counsel for the North Carolina Family Policy Council, said."The purpose of the institution of marriage is to attach mothers and fathers to their children and to each other," Royall said.But Madison and Kilpatrick say, for them, it's not about starting a family. Getting married is about finally getting legal recognition for the love they share."It was inconceivable to be out in high school. It was inconceivable to be out at work until about 20 years ago," Madison said.
"It really would be an incredible day...that we could be recognized for the love and relationship that we have."

At a press conference late yesterday the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers announced sales figures for March, it seems as intended: The first quarter is down a little, March is up a little. Certain segments have done exceptionally well, others seem to have withered. It does not seem like a typical Chinese March. March usually sets the pace for the rest of the year as Chinese new year and new year festivities are out of the way.
In the first quarter, total vehicle sales in China fell 3.4% from a year earlier to 4.79 million vehicles, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers said Wednesday. Sales of passenger cars fell 1.3% to 3.77 million vehicles.
First quarter sales fell by 3.4% to 4.79 million vehicles according to statistics released by CAAM, sales of passenger vehicles fell by 1.3% to 3.77 million units. In March sales rose 4.5% over 2011′s figure with 1.4 million passenger vehicles being sold and 1.84 million vehicles being sold in total.
Chinese brands took 46.1% of total vehicle sales in the first quarter of 2011, but by March 2012 this advantage had shrunk to 42.9% which is causing continued worry for Chinese manufacturers and the government. Foreign manufacturers are gaining continued traction in the Chinese market, American brands achieved 11.1% market share, Japanese 18.7%, French 2.9% and the Germans showed the biggest improvement with 16.6% market share in the first quarter.
Month to month March sales were up 15.4% whilst they gained 4.54% year on year. Sedans sold 935,500 units in March, a month on month increase of 12.96% and a year on year increase of 2.21%. MPV's sold 45,200 units, a M/M increase of 7.59% with a Y/Y increase of 0.42%. SUV's saw the biggest gains in March 2012 with sales reaching 176,200 units, a M/M increase of 26.79% and Y/Y increase of 32.38%.
Total growth for 2012 has been aimed at 8-10% but that number is likely to be revised once again if a half year figure is not on target.
In March the top selling cars were as follows:
- Buick Excelle – 24,100
- VW Jetta – 23,100
- Chevrolet Sail – 22,100
- VW Passat – 20,800
- VW Bora – 20,400
- VW Lavida – 20,300
- Chevrolet Cruze – 18,700
- Toyota Corolla – 18,500
- VW Santana – 17,400
- Nissan Teana – 16,7000
The above ten models accounted for 21.60% of models sold in March 2012.

DescriptionFasting is an important topic for all, as almost all nations and religions practice some form of fasting. Fasting was even established in man's doctrine before people became different nations. Fasting even goes back to the time of Adam and Eve.
It is not the intention of this book to tackle the subject of fasting from a theoretical point of view but for spiritual benefit.

The Patriots announced their inactives for Monday night's game against the Dolphins. RB Thomas Clayton, LB Shawn Crable, OT Nick Kaczur, DE Kyle Love, OL Rich Ohrnberger, WR Taylor Price, RB Fred Taylor and CB Terrence Wheatley will be inactive.
Rookie DE Brandon Deaderick and rookie ILB Dane Fletcher will be active for the first time this season.
Taylor, Wheatley, Price and Kaczur are injured. Crable was active in Week Three and recorded one tackle. Clayton was signed this week.
The Dolphins' inactives include QB Tyler Thigpen, WR Marlon Moore, ILB Channing Crowder, DE Robert Rose, OT Patrick Brown, OG John Jerry, TE Jeron Mastrud and DE Jared Odrick. DE Tony McDaniel is serving a one-game suspension.
The way we see it
The Patriots will have just three active backs: BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Sammy Morris and Danny Woodhead. The deactivation of Crable is a bit of a surprise considering he played well on third downs in Week Three. Deaderick and Fletcher could see some time on special teams.
For the Dolphins, no big surprises either, although there was a glimmer of hope that Crowder would return after practicing on Wednesday and Thursday. Chad Pennington is the backup QB tonight, and Pat McQuistan will likely start again for Jerry, but don't be surprised to see Cory Procter if McQuistan struggles again.

NEW ALBANY, IN (WAVE) – A Floyd County inmate is missing.
Sheriff Darrell Mills said Bridgett Sims, 23, is eight months pregnant and was last seen wearing a hospital gown. Mills said Sims walked away from Floyd Memorial Hospital about 12:05 Sunday afternoon.
Mills said she was brought in by the New Albany Police Department Friday for a theft charge. She had narcotics in her system when she was arrested. She was treated overnight at Floyd Memorial Hospital for the well being of her unborn child as well as herself.
According to Mills, Sims was in an extra room with hospital staff who were conducting a medical test on her when she asked to use the bathroom. The bathroom had a second exit that police did not know about. He said Sims walked out through the back exit that led to a different corridor.
"She was wearing her hospital gown and she took of in a hurry," Floyd County Jail Commander Major Andrew Sands said.
Sheriff Mills said a male officer was watching Sims and did nothing wrong and is not facing any disciplinary action.
Mills said Sims needed medical attention and she walked away. There is a warrant issued for escape that also includes her theft charges.
She is not considered to be armed or dangerous. Deputies did a search of the area for several hours, but were unable to locate her.
Police think Sims may be with Chris Gentry. Gentry also goes by the alias Thomas Cook.
"Yeah, our main concern at this point is the child that she's carrying," Sands said.
The situation strikes a chord with Lisa Rehnberg.
"I just think it's really sad. I hope that she can be found and the baby can be cared for," she said.
Rehnberg has four children of her own. As a mother, she said of Sims
"She needs help right now and sometimes this is a hard path for her with the decisions she's made. But, if she'll just go ahead and do what she has to do, it's best for her in the long run and the baby."
Sheriff Mills is asking anyone who might see Sims to call police at 812-948-5400.

Investing for retirement is one of the most important things you can do for your future. Yet an employer-sponsored savings plan, such as a 401(k), may not be enough to provide the savings you need. For many, an individual retirement account is one of the best ways to accumulate additional retirement savings on a tax-advantaged basis.
There are two main types of IRAs: Traditional and Roth. Both have the same contribution limits, the same catch-up provisions for people age 50 and older (for this year's amount, go to the Internal Revenue Service website, www.irs.gov), and both allow your investment earnings to compound tax-deferred until you start taking withdrawals, typically at retirement.
To help determine which IRA is right for you, consider how they differ.
You can contribute to a traditional IRA provided you (or your spouse, if you are married and file jointly) have earned income and you will not turn age 70 1/2 by the end of the year. In contrast, Roth IRAs are subject to income limits, which means not everyone can take advantage of one. To learn more about your eligibility, consult the IRS website at www.irs.gov.
Contributions to a traditional IRA may be tax deductible, subject to certain requirements. And any contributions you make may help lower your taxable income in the year in which you make them. With a Roth IRA, contributions are made with after-tax dollars, meaning the money you contribute has already been taxed, with no benefit of a deduction.
Other tax advantages
When money is taken from a Roth IRA at retirement, it's potentially tax-free — and that includes your tax-deferred earnings. That's different from a traditional IRA, which is fully taxable at current tax rates when withdrawn.
Traditional IRAs require you to begin taking minimum required distrbutions at age 70 1/2 — whether or not you need the money. If you fail to take your distribution, you'll face stiff penalties.
In contrast, Roth IRA owners are not subject to mandatory withdrawals at age 70 1/2. This means you can extend the tax advantages of your account longer than with a traditional IRA.
Which is better?
One rule of thumb suggests that if you think your tax rate today is higher than it will be in retirement, a traditional IRA may make sense. Conversely, if your tax rate is lower than you think it will be in retirement, a Roth IRA may be the better choice, assuming you qualify for one. However, because everyone's situation is different, be sure to consult with a financial representative or tax professional to carefully weigh all the factors and determine which IRA is best for you.

Welcome to the Ladies' Home Journal book club! Join us in discussing the latest book reviews and reading lists.
This Month's Pick: The Interestings
In the summer of 1974 six left-leaning, artsy New York teenagers bond together at a camp in New England and dub themselves "The Interestings." Is the nickname a blessing or a curse? Readers can decide for themselves as Wolitzer skillfully steers the friends -- some of whom end up with lives far less interesting (and far more tragic) than they anticipate -- through the next 37 years. The main protagonist, Jules Jacobson, a middle-class girl from the suburbs, attends the camp (and, later, a state university) on scholarship. Jules marries a decent, but depressive, medical technician and, after abandoning her acting ambitions, she settles on a more practical career as a social worker. And while she stays tight with her camp pals -- especially the brilliant cartoonist Ethan Figman and his wealthy golden-girl wife, Ash Wolf -- Jules never comes remotely close to matching their artistic or economic success. In this engrossing character-driven novel (her tenth), Wolitzer nails the sticky complexity of long-term friendship. She manages to paint a vivid and astute portrait of an entire generation while also allowing each character to remain fiercely individual.

How does a seemingly happy 30-year marriage suddenly fall apart? That's the question that haunts Harry Quirk, a down-on-his-luck Brooklyn poet, after his wife, Luz -- enraged by the infidelity she thinks she's discovered -- throws him out. Not a lot happens, plot-wise, but Christensen draws you in with mesmerizing prose that jolts you into a surprising realization: Everyone, even a screw-up like Harry, is entitled to a second shot at happiness.
Historical fiction buffs, you're in for a treat. This absorbing epic, set mostly in the mid-19th century, has it all, including politics, sex and a don't-mess-with-me heroine named Ana who emigrates from Spain to run a sugar plantation in Puerto Rico. (Not for nothing has Conquistadora been compared to Gone With the Wind.) Along the way Santiago throws in some scandal, plenty of page-turning suspense, and fascinating history.
The Shoemaker's Wife
You'll get caught up in this sweeping epic tale of Ciro Lazzari and Enza Ravenelli, who meet as teenagers in their native Italy, kiss, then part. They meet again in New York, where each has been forced to start over -- Ciro as a shoemaker and Enza as a seamstress. Theirs is a story of missed connections until one of them stages a dramatic intervention that changes their fate.
Caleb's Crossing
Pulitzer Prize-winner Brooks takes a tiny slice of American history -- in 1665, Caleb Cheeshahteaumauk became the first Native American to graduate from Harvard College -- and imagines an unforgettable story of friendship and aspiration in Colonial America.
The two loners who take turns narrating this haunting book will capture your heart. Arthur Opp, 58, is a 550-pound former professor who has retreated to his house and stayed there for more than a decade, eating himself into oblivion. "Kel" Keller, 18, is a baseball prodigy who lives in poverty with his mother but attends an affluent high school where his athletic talent allows him to fit in. As the two men's parallel stories start to converge, Moore's lovely prose will have you hoping that these characters will manage to rescue each other.
The Snow Child
Jack and Mabel, a childless couple in their 50s, have moved to this harsh landscape to escape a long-ago trauma -- the stillbirth of their baby. One day they build a snow girl in their yard; the next morning it's gone. When they glimpse a wild-looking girl in the woods near their home, neither is sure if she's real.
The Dressmaker
Who can resist a story about a Titanic survivor? Not us! This time, the drama centers around Tess, a beautiful English servant girl who maneuvers her way onto the ocean liner's maiden voyage. Tess is hired as a lady's maid by the imperious (and real-life) fashion designer Lady Lucile Duff Gordon. What's different about this story is that most of it takes place after the shipwreck. Both women survive and reconnect in New York City, where Tess, a gifted seamstress, lands a spot working in the designer's atelier. Her dream job loses it's luster when rumors start to fly, amid a Congressional investigation about Lord and Lady Duff Gordan's ugly behavior in their lifeboat. Tess is also torn between two good men -- both madly in love with her.
The Beginner's Goodbye
Many months after her death from a freak accident, Aaron Woolcott's wife, Dorothy, begins appearing to him at odd moments. These bouts of magical thinking are brief but shake Aaron to his core.
The Gods of Gotham
Welcome to New York City, 1845, a time when crime is rampant and the newly formed police department struggles to keep order. Bartender Timothy Wilde loses almost everything--his home, his job, his savings, and his hopes of proposing to the woman he loves--in a massive fire that incinerates lower Manhattan and disfigures his face. Penniless and desperate, he reluctantly joins the police force, egged on by his older brother, a Democratic bigwig who uses his political pull to get Tim the job. While patrolling the slums one night, he literally collides with a young girl covered in blood. The story she tells him--that dozens of murdered children are buried in a nearby forest--is hard to believe. But when Time begins to investigate, he quickly discovers that her tale is all too real.
The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
At breakfast one day Harold Fry opens a letter from a former colleague who tells him she's dying of cancer in a hospice 600 miles from the small English town where he lives with his wife, Maureen. Harold writes her a postcard and goes out to mail it, but then--after a cashier tells him that faith, not medicine, keeps a person alive--spontaneously decides to walk to the hospice. "As long as I walk, she must live," Harold explains as he sets off on his journey, with no phone, map, or decent shoes. Marveling at the English countryside and the random acts of kindness he experiences along the way, Harold contemplates the meaning of his life. Meanwhile, Maureen does some soul-searching of her own. Separately yet together, the pair move on parallel paths toward a stunning climax that will break your heart and heal it at the same time.
Orphan Train
When Molly, a troubled foster teen, agrees to clean 91-year-old Vivian Daly's attic in order to avoid juvenile detention, the pair strike up an unlikely friendship. As they open boxes, Molly learns that Vivian is a survivor of a little-known chapter of U.S. history: the "orphan trains" that , from 1854 to 1929, carried homeless children from the East Coast to smaller towns out West. The orphans were chosen at stops along the way by couples looking for a child--sometimes to adopt but just as often to put to work as a servant or farmhand. Irish-born Vivian boards the train in New York 1929, after most of her family dies in a fire, and she endures terrible cruelty before she ends up with a kind Minnesota couple. Similarly rootless, Molly has shuffled from one unhappy foster home to another. As this touching novel alternates between past and present, you being to understand why the two women--who share a deep yearning for family--forge such a strong bond.
Tigers in Red Weather
Klaussmann's mind-blowingly good first novel is the perfect read for the summer of Gatsby. Like Fitzgerald's enigmatic hero, the characters are rich -- their estate is on Martha's Vineyard yet could easily be on West Egg -- but are not very happy. The story, spanning the two decades following the Second World War, beings with newlywed Nick and her cousin Helena anticipating a wonderful life "houses, husbands, and midnight gin parties." But that dream fades when Nick's husband returns from the war an aloof version of his former self. Meanwhile Helena, a war widow marries a charming con man. Years later the younger generation -- Nick's daughter (whose boyfriend is infatuated with Nick) and Helena's creepy son -- are scared by their discovery of a grisly crime. Klaussmann weaves all of these elements into a haunting, suspenseful tale of love and treachery.
Alys, Always
Don't even think about opening this wickedly entertaining first novel unless you've got a sizable chunk of time to spare: You'll want to devour it in one sitting. But Alys, Always is more than an incredibly fun read -- it's a shrewdly drawn portrait of upper-class English life and the social climber who longs to inhabit it. After Frances Thorpe, "an invisible production drone" for the books section of a London newspaper, witnesses a car accident victim's final moments, the police asked her if she would be willing to meet the dead woman's bereaved family. (They crave closure.) Frances declines, and that might have been that -- except she soon learns that the deceased was Alys Kyte, the wife of one of Britain's most prominent novelists. Frances's wheels begin to turn and slowly, slyly, she insinuates herself into the Kyte household, befriending first the couple's mixed-up daughter and ultimately the great man himself. You'll be amused, appalled and kept constantly guessing as Frances comes into her own -- and plays both the Kyte family and the London literary establishment like a seasoned virtuoso.
This novel has an ingenious premise; What if Margot Frank -- who died with her younger sister, Anne Frank, at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945 -- had survived and secretly settled in the United States after the war? In Cantor's reimagining, Margot is now a gentile named Margot Franklin, an introverted legal secretary working for Joshua Rosenstein, an up-and-coming Jewish attorney in Philadelphia. Set in 1959, amid the mass excitement that greeted the release of the movie The Diary of Anne Frank, the story finds Margie weary of her disguise and desperate to locate Peter van Pels, the son of the other family who hid with the Franks in Amsterdam, whom she is convinced survived the war. (Perhaps Cantor's most audacious fictional leap is to cast Peter as primarily Margot's love interest, not Anne's.) Her anguish intensifies when Joshua asks her to look into the case of a local woman (also a Holocaust survivor) who alleges employment discrimination against Jews. Then there's the fact that Margie and Joshua are obviously in love. All of these torments finally come to a head for Margie in a dramatic conclusion that will have you smiling -- and fighting off tears.
The Obituary Writer
Vivien Lowe and Claire Fontaine, Hood's dual protagonists, live in two different eras and milieus -- San Francisco in 1919 and early 1960s suburbia. Yet each is a woman ahead of her time, instinctively rejecting the conventions and gender roles of the day. Vivien, a writer of unorthodox obituaries, persists in believing that her lover, a married attorney who disappeared on the day of the Great Earthquake of 1906, is still alive. Claire, a pregnant housewife and mom living in a Virginia suburb, is fascinated by Jacqueline Kennedy and escapes her mostly loveless marriage and the mind-numbing routines of suburban life by having an affair. Hood expertly alternates the women's stories, drawing an especially poignant portrait of the grief and longing that make Vivien a poet of her trade ("Tell me about your loved one," she says to the bereaved, then lets them talk) and slowly revealing the connection between the two women. Character-driven and meticulously observed, The Obituary Writer is a great old- fashioned read that transports you into the hearts and minds of people you could swear you know.
The Death of Bees
It's no surprise that the author of this stunning debut novel is a screenwriter. The story unfolds cinematically, in short, diary-like chapters told from the perspective of three alternating narrators: Marnie, a super-smart but damaged 15-year-old from Glasgow who spews profanities in her own inimitable Scottish dialect; her sister, Nelly, who "sounds like the Queen of England", and Lennie, the elderly gay neighbor who informally adopts the sisters after their drug-dealing, deadbeat parents go missing. In fact, as we learn on page one, the parents are dead, and the girls, to avoid foster care, bury the pair in the yard and tell everyone they're abroad. O'Donnell throws additional characters and dramatic plot twists into the mix, but ultimately the book belongs to Marnie. With this tough-talking but vulnerable teen, The Death of Bees gives us one of the most memorable protagonists in recent fiction.
Calling Me Home
Get out the box of tissues now -- you'll need it by the time you reach the end of this heart-wrenching love story. Calling Me Home alternates time periods (1930s Kentucky and present-day Texas) and narrators (Isabelle, an 89-year-old white Southerner, and Dorrie, her 40-something African-American hairdresser). Kibler captures the deepening bond between the two women as they drive from their Texas town to Cincinnati to attend a funeral. In between dealing with a family crisis back home via cell phone, Dorrie listens to Isabelle as the old woman shares her personal history for the first time: It's 1939, and Isabelle, then 16, falls madly in love with Robert, the son of her family's black housekeeper. The couple elope across the border to Ohio, but her father and brothers soon track her down and drag her home. (Later, the brothers brutally attack Robert with a branding iron.) From that point, the tragedies multiply, but thanks to Kibler's sure hand, the novel never resorts to melodrama or cheap sentimentality. She crafts a haunting, multi-layered story that brings to life the tragic and during legacy of racism in America.
Above All Things
When the British mountain climber George Mallory made his third attempt to scale the summit of Mount Everest, in 1924, all of England -- still recovering from the carnage of world War I -- rallied around him as a national hero. The expedition's outcome is no secret, of course, but Rideout's fictional re-creation of his climbing team's incredibly difficult ascent is so gripping that you'll find yourself racing through the pages just to learn how it turns out. Alternating with those chapters are others from the point of view of Mallory's wife, Ruth, who unfolds the story of a loving marriage filled with passion but also, for her, constant fear and frustration at having to play second fiddle to a treacherous mountain. All but one of Ruth's chapters take place over a single day as she cares for the couple's three children and prepares to host a dinner party in their Cambridge home. Rideout's skillful juxtaposition of Mallory's ordeal on that implacable peak and Ruth's ordeal back in Cambridge, waiting anxiously for the mail to bring word of her husband's whereabouts, make Above All Things a vividly detailed and mesmerizing read.
Oleander Girl
A shocking family secret lies at the heart of this coming-of-age novel. The story unfolds in 2002 in India, where old traditions are bumping up against an emerging yuppie class, and in the United States, where outsiders are being subjected to post-9/11 xenophobia. An orphan since birth, Korobi Roy has been raised in a sheltered environment by her once-wealthy and (still highly respected) grandparents. At 18 Korobi is newly engaged to the charming, handsome son of prosperous art dealers when her ultra-traidtional grandfather suddenly dies. In the aftermath, her grandmother reveals a longstanding lie about Korobi's father. Korobi decides she must go to the Untied States (where her mother attended college) to track down this missing link from her past. The journey proves frustrating yet fruitful as Korobi makes a discovery that threatens her impending marriage. A skilled storyteller and keen cultural observer, Divakaruni weaves a multilayered and always surprising narrative that exposes the divisions of race and class in both countries. And she creates an unforgettable heroine who knows instinctively how to bridge those divisions.

Then the rivalry came to blows.
As both teams headed off the field, coaches from both teams weren't quite ready to call it a night as an ugly brawl erupted on the field after Cullman's rousing 13-10 last-second victory.
Punches were thrown and coaches were tackled to the ground as police tried to gain control of the situation.
Cullman defensive coordinator Matt Hopper left the field with a bloody face and a ripped shirt after allegedly being punched by a Walker coach on the field after the fight.
Following the altercation, both teams were rushed off the field and extra security was called to the school.
Jasper City School Superintendent Robert Sparkman had no comment as he tried to gather facts on the situation.
Walker coach John Holladay and Cullman coach Mark Britton weren't available for comment after the game.
The game proved to be a another heartbreaking loss for Walker.
The contest was also filled with mental mistakes and penalties. The teams combined for 20 penalties totaling 191 yards. Walker was flagged 11 times for 115 yards.
The Vikings led 10-0 going into the fourth quarter, but gave up two touchdowns in the final 8:36.
Cullman quarterback Tyler Glenn scored the game-winning touchdown on a 6-yard run with just 18 seconds remaining.
The Bearcats' final drive was set up after a mix up with the down marker resulted in Walker going for it on fourth down and coming up short.
With the marker reading third down, Walker quarterback Bryant Atkins rushed for nine yards. The only problem was that the run came on what turned out to be a 4th-and-12 play.
Instead of Walker punting the ball away, Cullman took over on its own 46-yard line with 3:03 left.
The Bearcats put together 13-play scoring drive to earn their fourth straight win over Walker.
The Vikings took a 3-0 lead after the opening possession on a 34-yard field Ran Crump field goal with 9:48 left in the opening quarter.
Walker made the score 10-0 with 2:06 left in the half on a Atkins 1-yard quarterback sneak
The score remained the same until the fourth quarter when Cullman finally got into the end zone with 8:36 left in the game when Glenn hit Joseph Gable on a 10-yard touchdown.
The drive was setup by an interception from Cullman's Winfield Moon.
The key play of the drive came on a 4th-and-1 play at the 6-yard line. Cullman's Garrett Crider got the first down by inches.
Walker's next possession resulted in the turnover on downs. Walker then went 46 yard in 2:45. Glenn ran in from six yards out for the game-clinching score.
Cullman ran 30 plays in the final quarter compared to just 10 for Walker. One of those was an interception on the first-place of the quarter and another was the failed fourth down conversion.
Walker had opportunities to add to its lead in the first half, but missed a 21-yard field goal on the second play of the second quarter.
Defensively, KJ Farris and Jaiquan Crook each recovered fumbles for Walker in the game.
Cullman's win gave the Bearcats a 34-33-2 advantage in the series. The Bearcats beat Walker twice last season, including 30-0 in the second round of the playoffs.

I think that you should cut the OP a little slack as he is trying to ask a genuine question. His dilemma is not unreasonable, in fact I think that a lot of people will be facing it it the next 6-12 months. I also think that the OP is right in assuming that the 7D MkII will cost significantly more than the current street price of the 7D.
The real question is whether the 7D is worth buying versus a similarly specified (and priced) 70D? This will come down to how good the 70D's sensor is; if it is class leading then I think that the other specifications are close enough that the 7D no longer makes sense for most.
Thanks for that !
I was actually waiting for the 70D to come out as I WAS going to buy a 60D just when they were being sold off a bit cheaper before they were dis continued, but decided to go full out with the 7D .
Now that you put the two cameras side by side it does sound reasonable to wait , especially since the 70D is brand new .
I think I might just do that
