BOSTON, MA and SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/06/13 -- The Cambridge Associates LLC Australia Private Equity and Venture Capital Index (C|A Australia Index) rose by 2.90% in the third quarter of 2012, according to the latest quarterly report released by The Australian Private Equity and Venture Capital Association Ltd (AVCAL) today.
For the 12 months ending 30 September 2012, the C|A Australia Index rose by 6.44%. Over the same period, the S&P/ASX 300 Index surged to record a return of 14.46%.
However, over the longer 3- and 5-year horizons the C|A Australia Index outperformed the public equities index, rising by 8.33% and 2.97% respectively on an annualised, net of fees basis compared to the S&P/ASX 300 Index's 1.69% and -3.61% annualised returns over the same horizons.
In the twelve months leading to 30 September 2012, a total of AU$2.2B was distributed back to LPs while $2.3B was drawn down.
Australian Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (AVCAL) CEO Dr Katherine Woodthorpe said, "The Index continues to demonstrate how private equity as a whole has consistently generated stable returns over the long term compared to the more volatile listed markets, on an after-fee basis."
Eugene Snyman, Managing Director at Cambridge Associates' office in Sydney, Australia, said: "While the strong performance of both public and private indices in the third quarter is good news to investors overall, we continue to see Australian private equity and venture capital offering greater stability long term."
The report is published on the AVCAL website www.avcal.com.au.

New safety standards for wheelchairs and tie downs promise to improve transportation safety for people who must use their wheelchair as the passenger seat when riding in a car, van or bus. Some of these new product design and crash test requirements have already gone into effect, while additional ones will not be in effect until December of 2015. In advance of this deadline, innovators of wheelchair tie down systems are already striving to implement upcoming safety improvements for today's passengers.
To comply with the new industry standards published in Wheelchairs and Transportation, Volume 4 of Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America (RESNA) wheelchair standards (commonly referred to as WC18), wheelchair tie downs or other securement devices must pass two different dynamic strength tests. Both of the impact sled tests subject the tie downs to a 30 mph, 20-g crash using a "surrogate" wheelchair and average weight dummy. What differs between the first test requirements that are already in effect and those requirements coming in December 2015, is how the occupant belts are installed.
In the current WC18 requirement, the lap and shoulder belt is installed in such a way that the entire load of the occupant is applied to the vehicle during impact, effectively separating the wheelchair and occupant loads from each other. The second test requirement, as stated in WC19, places the occupant's lap belt onto the wheelchair frame itself, therefore, transferring a majority of that force onto the tie downs, thus providing additional safety to the passenger.
The previous standards were implemented in 2002 and RESNA's recent changes to both the WC18 and WC19 standards reflect 10 years of real world experience of passengers, wheelchairs, and securement systems in both crash and non-crash events. Building on the success of the previous requirements, the new standards will provide additional precautions based on today's transportation environments to further ensure passenger safety.
Lessons learned from the past ten years have reinforced the need for an anchored lap belt for providing a safe and respectful transportation experience for the wheelchair-dependent passenger. Among its many benefits, the wheelchair-anchored lap belt:
These benefits address not only improved passenger safety, but also a more efficient and independent securement process. Thus, manufacturers see real value for their customers, and riders and drivers alike are eager to see the new improvements implemented rapidly.
"The revised standards pose a design challenge, however, we recently announced our new QRT-360 retractor that is fully compliant with the WC18 standard and will be available early 2014," assures Bob Joseph, VP, business development at Q'Straint. "Q'Straint is pleased to offer improved wheelchair restraint safety to passengers well ahead of the December 2015 deadline."

The Titan800 Retractor System is designed to meet the latest WC18 industry regulations, which take effect December 2015.
The Final Rule applies to public entities providing fixed route, dial-a-ride and complementary paratransit services. It establishes that an individual's disability cannot preclude a public transportation entity from providing full access to its service except where doing so would fundamentally alter the service.
Following unanimous approval by the SFMTA board in January, the SFMTA has worked tirelessly to meet the city's demand for this program. In just over one month, the SFMTA has processed more than 38,000 applications for the Free Muni program expansion.
The accusations stem from a human rights complaint by a rider who said a bus driver refused to lower the wheelchair ramp for her because she was using a walker and not a wheelchair. STM holds monthly meetings where they open the floor to citizens to ask questions directly to board members.

Gun Giveaway Contest
The new Scorpion EVO 3 S1 Pistol is a civilian-legal, semi-auto only version of CZ's LE/military-only Scorpion EVO 3 A1 compact submachine gun. The Scorpion EVO 3 S1 lacks the A1's folding buttstock and full-auto operating mode, but is otherwise nearly identical to the original article. This blowback-operated semi-auto is chambered in 9mm Parabellum and is fitted with the same 7-inch barrel as the A1. Newly designed, low-profile sights are mounted on an 11-inch Picatinny top rail. The rear sight has four different aperture sizes for everything from close quarters to way out there, but there's plenty of additional space on the top rail for mounting optics. Other features include 9-slot Picatinny rails on bottom and both sides, a forward hand stop and fully ambidextrous controls. Its non-reciprocating charging handle is swappable to either side, and reach to the trigger is adjustable. CZ also offers a arm brace adapter, which quickly and easily adds an AR-style pistol buffer tube to the rear of the action, enabling the use of an arm brace for added stability. See the new Scorpion EVO 3 S1 Pistol at your gun shop, or for more information contact CZ USA, Dept. OT; Tel.: (800) 955-4486; Web: www.cz-usa.com

Gevenalle adds GX drop-bar shifters for Shimano 10-speed MTB derailleurs – First look & actual weights!
Ever dreamt of putting a mountain bike drivetrain on your drop bar bike. You know, to create the ultimate adventure bike with wide range gearing and a fast front end?
Gevenalle has expanded their line of index-or-friction shifter equipped brake lever with the new GX model, which pulls just the right amount of cable to keep an XT rear derailleur in line with your MTB cassette. It's compatible with Shimano's modern clutch-equipped DynaSys and Shadow Plus 10-speed rear derailleurs with a cassette capability up to 36T. That's a big jump from the 28T max of their BURD rear derailleur, putting you in the gearing range of the CX1 group.
Like the CX shifters, which work with Gevenalle's own rear derailleur and other 10-speed road derailleurs, the GX gets a modified Microshift lever set attached to a Tektro lever bodies…but even those have been heavily customized and improved…

Fisherfolk belonging to several hamlets, from the Chennai Port to Manali, on Tuesday vehemently opposed the laying of a 42-inch crude oil pipeline by Chennai Petroleum Corporation Limited (CPCL), stating that their lives would be endangered if the project was allowed to proceed.
Speaking at a public hearing conducted by the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) at Tiruvottiyur, the fisherfolk termed the hearing an eyewash and said they would fight the laying of the pipeline till the end. "We will lie down on the route of the pipe and not allow work to proceed," said N. Vasu of Thirichinankuppam.
Tension prevailed at the hearing for some time after an employee of the Chennai Port Trust (ChPT) said the pipeline must not be shifted to Ennore Port, as the livelihood of hundreds of ChPT employees would be affected, and the project would not harm the fisherfolk. The fisherfolk raised slogans and rushed forward. However, a posse of around 50 policemen calmed them down.
M.A. Jayakumar of 'Kadal Ora Makkal Paadhukappu Amaippu' said the company had not done much in terms of corporate social responsibility for their people. "Not just fisherfolk but residents of entire north Chennai will be affected by this pipeline," he said.
Representatives of Voice of Indian sought to know whether senior officials of CPCL and TNPCB would come to live along the pipeline to ensure its safety. "Let the government make a rule that all senior officials of CPCL and TNPCB must reside here. If not the company's license must be cancelled," the representative said.
V. Srinivasan, general manager (Corporate Planning) of CPCL, who explained the project details, said the company had to change the pipeline that was laid in 1969 as it had aged and was passing through areas where habitations had come up over the years. A system would be installed to ensure that no leaks are there in the 17-km long pipeline. The pipe can withstand pressure up to 120 kg/cm2.
He said that by laying the line along the Ennore-Manali Road Improvement Project (EMRIP), land acquisition would not be involved. The Rs. 126 crore-project would take 12 to 18 months to complete. The company, he said would try to address the grievances of the fisherfolk.
The TNPCB also issued consent to establish the pipeline that would be laid beneath the service lane of the EMRIP.
Tiruvallur collector Ashish Chatterjee was also present at the hearing.

Most View Census Positively, But Some Have Doubts
Most Americans think the census is very important and say they will definitely participate, but there are partisan as well as racial and ethnic differences in opinions about the values of the census and in personal willingness to participate.
Obama Image Unscathed By Terrorism Controversy
The government's ratings for reducing the threat of terrorism have slipped, and Americans are increasingly more concerned with safety than civil liberties. Domestically, few see an upside to health care reform, and the national mood remains grim. Yet President Obama's political standing is little affected, and his personal image remains positive.
Salazar v. Buono: Can Government Give One Religion's Symbol Prominence in a Public Park?
The Supreme Court will soon take up a case with the potential to determine the fate of a cross on display in the Mojave National Preserve, as well as similar religious displays across the country. The court's decision might also determine who may bring Establishment Clause lawsuits in federal court in the future.
Congressional Favorability Falls to 24-Year Low; Dems Lose Midterm Advantage
Americans' opinion of Congress is at a 24-year low, and as a result the party in power has lost its electoral edge. Voters split between the Democrats and GOP in a 2010 matchup, but Democrats are still favored on most issues.
Public Souring on Washington
More say the president and GOP leaders are not working together, as Obama's approval inches lower and the Democratic Party's favorability falls sharply. Opinion about the economy remains negative with personal financial assessments becoming more bearish.
Opinion of State Governments Drops With the Economy, Budget Gaps
The falloff in favorable views has been greater in states with the largest budget gaps. Also, the new administration has shifted partisan views of the federal government dramatically.
Public Supports Targeting Al Qaeda Leaders, Wants Congress in the Loop
Americans generally support allowing the Central Intelligence Agency to assassinate al Qaeda leaders, but opinions are more mixed about whether the CIA should have such a program without first informing Congress.
The Republican Party's Dilemma
The Sotomayor vote represents the dilemma the GOP faces coming out of its 2008 and 2006 election defeats: how to keep its base happy on the one hand and broaden its appeal to women, Latinos and young people, on the other.
Obama's High Ratings Hold Despite Some Policy Concerns
A solid majority of Americans continue to approve of Barack Obama's job performance, although they express mixed views of several of his policies. Only about one-in-five Americans (21%) say the U.S. is less safe from terrorism under the Obama administration than under the Bush administration
Independents Take Center Stage in the Obama Era
Centrism has emerged as a dominant factor in public opinion as the Obama administration begins. Republicans and Democrats are even more divided than in the past, while the growing political middle is steadfastly mixed in its beliefs about government, the free market and other values that underlie views on contemporary issues and policies. Both political parties have lost adherents since the election and an increasing number of Americans identify as independents.

"How does the primary tumor cause the bone marrow cells to settle somewhere and provide a fertile field for metastasis - does it send out chemicals that stimulate the bone marrow cells? And why do those bone marrow cells settle where they do? It also opens possibilities for other avenues of attack against the cancer to prevent its spread. Before anything else, however, other researchers need to confirm that these findings are true."

"The future of radiation tends to be what we call stereotactic: radiation, which focuses on the tumor and applies large doses at one time as opposed to traditional radiation which is small doses over a longer time, ... There is a gamma knife that's dedicated to treating brain lesions where, instead of radiating the brain in a three-week period, it's a one-time focused, high-powered type treatment."
"We recently did two benefits for a person with a brain tumor and at the first one, he was there. We love doing the benefits."
"One of the potential uses we envision is to use the ART treatment as a way to use tumor components to immunize cancer patients against their own cancer cells, ... The current problem with this treatment strategy is that the tumor gives off a variety of soluble products which we don't fully understand, but which we know wreck havoc on the immune system by suppressing its various components. If we can use the ART drugs to increase the number of newly produced T cells in cancer patients first, we can potentially improve the likelihood of getting a cancer vaccine to work."

OCZ Launches Vector Indilinx Barefoot 3 SSD, First All In-House Design 122
from the intel-sans-gouging dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I bought one of their PCI drives - a RevoDrive X2. It was unbelievably fast.
To die. I barely used the thing, and it failed hard in about three months. Three months ago.
I'm still waiting on my replacement. I called them, and they authorized an RMA. Then I mailed my card in. Two months later, they called me (during Hurricane Sandy, despite that they had my address and knew perfectly well I couldn't answer questions,) to see if I still wanted my replacement (!) and would I give them their RMA number (!!) so that they could finally get around to it.
I told him my power was out and that I would love to have what they had promised me months ago, but I couldn't give him the RMA number at that time. He said he'd call back in a couple days. (Still not sure why he didn't just mail the drive.)
I haven't heard from him since, despite having left several messages with a suspiciously similar sounding "other" staff member who assures me that *this* time I'll get a call back.
It's a shame; the drive is wonderfully fast. However, it's unacceptably fragile, and I can't cope with their staff just never getting around to doing their jobs.
This is OCZ we're talking about, as in reliability is a distant thought for them. If you're willing to gamble getting a 1 out of 8 chance of purchasing a drive that'll last at least a year for the sake of speed, then you'll do whatever you can to get it, which means going for OCZ. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence and an A+ cert or equivalent knowledge will know better to just grab a few reliable SSD drives from some other brand and run a RAID with em.
Is it possible that software is not like anything else, that it is meant to be discarded: that the whole point is to always see it as a soap bubble?

I found 15 of the best gluten free chickpea flour recipes and have listed them here for you. It was a lot easier to find chick pea flour recipes than I thought. Chickpeas are a legume that contain lots of protein and fiber and they have a great nutty flavor. Chickpeas are most popular in countries such as India, Pakistan, Turkey, and Australia but they are becoming more popular in the United States especially with people who are allergic to gluten. I happen to like Indian food a lot and I found some great Indian recipes that are included in this post. However, there are a variety of recipes in this post so if you don't happen to love Indian food as much as I do, then there are some other great options to try. If you are new to cooking with chickpea flour or are a lover of it, I hope that at least a few of these recipes will speak to you.
Note: As I have mentioned in other posts chickpea flour, garbanzo bean flour, gram flour, and besan flour are the same thing.

Rototiller i.d.
Hey there,
Can anyone identify the make of this tiller?
Tiller plate: serial 09914 G
Motor: Briggs & Stratton Model: 92502 Type 0174 01
Code: 6509272
The lower end I.D. number in the cast is 78FF311, my current goal is to change the axle seals but am a loss as to how they are removed. This tiller is very old, I can e-mail pics to you if you think you can help.
I would like to identify this tiller to find a manual on it.
Yup it is old. The engine was built Sept 27, 1965 so it will be a 66 model. Prolly made before you LOL. You might have trouble removing the tine assemblies, they are likely frozen to the shaft. If you do get them off, carefully remove the old seals and take them to a bearing house, they may be able to match them. Forget finding a manual for that old timer.
I got the tines off rather easily, how do the seals come off? I tried to remove the lower end from the tiller but the drive pully is "frozen" to the shaft, tonight I poured penetrating oil on it.
The seals have me confused how the come off>>> Do you know the maker of this tiller?
Need a lot more info. I have tillers that date to that era. But there were at least three types. Are you dealing with a front or rear tine tiller? worm, gear, or chain drive. Most rear tines of that era were by Troybilt, Ariens, McKissic. There were lots of front tine tillers, but Merry and Snapper had most of the chain drives. Simplicity made a good worm drive, Gilson made worm drives, a large number of them store brands like Western Auto and Montgomery Ward.
Thank you for replying,
My tiller is a (four)rear tine, belt driven type with a 1" dia axle. The lower end is a solid casting. I need to figure out how the right (when in front facing the machine) axle side comes apart. Any other info just ask and I will try to accomodate as best as I can. I can email a couple pics if it would help.

Burdens rain in ink on this page,
As my hand pens my farewell
And a hardened heart comes of age.
Pray thee Lord wisdom takes hold,
As you release pain's spell
And set truth to lies told.
May the words I finally say
Break ties to malice and hate,
And bring light to my dark days.
For this release lasting left
Finally give I and accept my fate
As my last closet is swept.
Hold close this last testament
Of lessons I'll always keep,
Of years in heartache yet spent.
For lasting grace comes from above,
And another like you I'll someday meet.
Till then, I bid you farewell my love.

Training Notebook: Edson Buddle expected to be contribute in 2015; Robbie Keane hopes StubHub Center remains a fortress
It's no secret that Edson Buddle will be joining the LA Galaxy, but LA boss Bruce Arena expects the veteran forward to contribute in the upcoming season.
Arena revealed on Monday that the Galaxy will be signing the forward before the end of week after a successful preseason training stint with the club. Buddle will look to return to form with the Galaxy after two difficult seasons with the Colorado Rapids, but despite his difficulties with the Rapids, Arena has full confidence in Buddle to perform in 2015.
"He's an experienced forward. He's scored 100 goals in this league and there's no reason to believe that he can't score a few more," he said. "He's a good experienced forward. He can hold the ball up, he's hard to play against. He's going to play a role for us this year. We're going to have a lot of games this year and it's going to help having an experienced forward on the field."
The LA Galaxy had a nearly unblemished record at StubHub Center in 2015, and if the club is to repeat as MLS Cup champions, the belief is that they must continue to dominate at home.
A year ago, the Galaxy went a stunning 15-1-4 at home in all MLS competitions with their lone loss came in club's season opener way back on March 8, 2014. As the Galaxy prepare for the upcoming season, team captain Robbie Keane believes that staying perfect at home is key for LA's hopes of another title.
"We need to continue to do the same [thing we did last year]," said Robbie Keane. "We need to make sure that this place is difficult for players and teams to come. We want them to not enjoy coming here and know that it'll be a difficult game when you play against the LA Galaxy."
The LA Galaxy will enter the 2015 season as the defending champions of Major League Soccer, but Galaxy boss Bruce Arena has a qualm with the use of the word "defending."
"We're not defending anything," said Arena. "Its' a new season. We're trying to win a championship, we're not defending one."

The kings of MLS finally have their rings.
The LA Galaxy players and coaches received their 2014 MLS Cup championship rings on Monday at a private ceremony at WP24 in Downtown Los Angeles. The rings which were designed by Tiffany and Co. feature the Galaxy crest emblazoned in diamonds with a special touch of gold prominently showcasing their record fifth MLS Cup title. Along the frame of the ring, the player's name and the final score of the 2014 MLS Cup are shown while at the bottom, the Galaxy's playoff rallying cry "First To Five" is engraved.
"It was breathtaking," said Gyasi Zardes. "That's my first ring ever and it was just crazy to see my name engraved on the side of it. Oh my goodness."
Added A.J. DeLaGarza who now has three MLS Cup title rings in his possession, "I love them all, but this ring is pretty sick."
Galaxy fans will have a chance to have a ring ceremony of their own on April 12 when the club holds a replica ring giveaway when LA hosts Seattle Sounders FC. The first 15,000 fans through the StubHub Center gates will receive replica rings honoring the 2014 MLS Cup champions courtesy of Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
Below are select social media posts from Galaxy players showcasing their rings.

Preseason Notes: LA Galaxy nearing full fitness; Arena says CONCACAF Champions League schedule must change
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy open the 2015 MLS regular season on Friday, and will do so with a near clean bill of health.
First team regulars A.J. DeLaGarza, Baggio Husidic, Jaime Penedo and Gyasi Zardes as well as trialist Edson Buddle missed out on the Galaxy's final preseason game of 2015 on Saturday, but Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena says that the team will be close to full health when they open the season on Friday against the Chicago Fire.
"I think that we're in good shape heading into the first game. We've been very conservative with our players this preseason. Given that we had such a long year last year, we didn't want to kill anybody. We're just taking it in stride. We'll be fine... They're all here training."
The Galaxy will not begin their CONCACAF Champions League campaign for nearly five months, but Bruce Arena says that the club will do their best to win the continental tournament.
Currently, MLS entrants D.C. United and the Montreal Impact are long shots to reach the semifinals of the now rebranded Scotia Bank CONCACAF Champions League which may force MLS to wait another year for the a team to challenge for the regional championship. During the 2015-16 tournament, the Galaxy will be joined by D.C. United, Real Salt Lake and Seattle Sounders FC who will attempt to become the first team to win the title.
Winning the Champions League has been a tall order for MLS clubs, and according to Arena, it will continue to be a challenge for MLS teams if the schedule remains the same.
"We want to win it," said Arena. "Unfortunately for our league, it's not fair for our teams to play this competition in February. We're put behind the eight ball right away. It's the job of U.S. Soccer and MLS to work with CONCACAF and provide some dates that allow us to be more competitive in the competition.
The LA Galaxy will begin their MLS regular season campaign on Friday with 19 teams gunning to take away their title as MLS Cup champions. Typically that places a bulls-eye on the winning team, but that's of little matter to Bruce Arena.
When asked on Monday if the Galaxy will face considerable pressure this season to repeat as champions, the LA head coach and general manager responded in his typically glib manner.
"Yeah, bring it on. Whatever. I think that's what I signed up for," Arena said.
Even if the Galaxy will head into the season as the favorites to repeat as MLS Cup champions, Arena is eager to get the season started.
"We don't need anymore preseason," Arena said. "I'm sick of it. I'd rather be criticized right away."
MLSsoccer.com's Rachel Bonnetta previews the LA Galaxy's 2015 season with a little help from Jason Saghini, Taylor Twellman and more.
CARSON, Calif. -- Edson Buddle will be a member of the LA Galaxy again by the end of the week.
Buddle has been sidelined recently with an injury, but head coach and general manager Bruce Arena confirmed that the 33-year-old forward will be joining the club by the start of the 2015 season.
"We'll get that done this week," Arena told reporters after practice on Monday.
The veteran forward will be joining the Galaxy for a third time having spent time with the club from 2007-10 and again in 2012. Buddle has a total of 99 appearances for the Galaxy in all MLS competitions, having scored 32 goals and six assists in two stints for the Galaxy.
Buddle is one of eight players in MLS history to score 100 regular goals in his career.
SAN JOSE, Calif. – The LA Galaxy were without several key pieces when they ended the preseason with a 3-2 defeat to the San Jose Earthquakes, but head coach Bruce Arena expects the full team in training next week.
Galaxy regulars Baggio Husidic, Jaime Penedo and Gyasi Zardes as well as trialist Edson Buddle missed out on the club's final preseason preseason match due to unspecified injuries, but according to Arena, they'll be on the training field on Monday when the club ramps up their preparations for Friday's MLS regular season opener against the Chicago Fire.
"All our guys will be back next week," said Arena.
The Galaxy boss was also optimistic about the status of defender A.J. DeLaGarza who has missed the entire preseason with a bone bruise in his left leg.
"He'll be in full training on Monday," Arena said afterward.
MLS Insider has dropped a sensational piece on the LA Galaxy's "First to Five" championship run.
The video piece features interviews from players like Robbie Keane and Landon Donovan while also providing inside looks at the team during their MLS Cup final victory over the New England Revolution.
Check it out above.
LA Galaxy Academy product Hugo Arellano scores as U.S. U-17's thrash Cuba at 2015 U-17 CONCACAF Championship
LA Galaxy Academy defender Hugo Arellano scored as the U.S. U-17's demolished Cuba 5-0 in their Group A opener at the 2015 U-17 CONCACAF Championship.
Joe Gallardo scored three times while Alejandro Zendejas and Arellano rounded out the scoring for Richie Williams' squad. Midfielders Christian Pulisic and Luca de La Torre each tallied two assists in the Americans' confident victory.
Arellano needed just five minutes to put the U.S. ahead as the U-17 captain smashed a Pulisic corner into the back of the net for the opening goal. In the 40th minute, Pulisic played the distributor again as he found Joe Gallardo from close range for the irst of his three on the evening. Just three minutes later, Zendejas pounced on a failed Cuban defensive clearance and tallied his fourth goal of his U-17 career.
Once the second half began, Gallardo left no doubt of the Americans dominance as he combined with de la Torre twice for goals in the 65th and 88th minutes to seal the win.
The U.S. return to action on Monday when they face Trinidad and Tobago at 3 p.m. PT.

DEFINITION of 'Gift In Trust'
An indirect bequest of assets to a beneficiary by means of a special legal and fiduciary arrangement. The purpose of a gift in trust is to avoid taxes on gifts that exceed the annual gift tax exclusion amount. Gift taxes are almost always paid by the gift giver and if they exceed $13,000 in one year the excess is taxable.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Gift In Trust'
Gift givers can give gifts in excess of the annual exclusion without paying taxes by establishing a special type of trust, such as a Crummey trust. A gift to a Crummey trust allows the beneficiary to withdraw the gift for a limited time, which makes the gift a present interest and makes it eligible for the gift tax exclusion. If the gift did not have these limited-time withdrawal rights, it would be considered a future interest and it would be subject to gift taxes. That being said, it is generally understood that the beneficiary will not actually withdraw the funds during the withdrawal period. Gifts in trust are commonly used by parents or grandparents who want to establish a trust fund for their children or grandchildren.

Helping out the family!
- I slept in pretty late and missed breakfast, whoops!
- Over the next couple days and helped at my aunt and cousins with their renovations on their house. Fixing up the backyard, repairing the guest bathroom, and cleaning out the insanely packed garage was what my days consisted of.
- We had great meals from barbecue, to pastas, to Chinese food, it was all delicious!
- It was a great time being here with family!

He taught the audience the chorus, and we sang along like we'd known it forever. "Queenie eye, Queenie eye who's got the ball? I haven't got it, it isn't in my pocket. O-U-T spells out."

Irresponsible publisher
The magazine's new April edition has a note, stating that in order for them to streamline with their print magazine format, the digital version has removed all its interactive and video contents. That is the most irresponsible decision for a digital medium publisher to make! "Streamlining" in this case is for them to fire their entire digital team and simply upload their print design team's PDFs as digital content. For example, A photo image page is shown only with an excerpt referring to different pages for details, not even a clickable link to that page, which is the digital-magazine-101. This is a decision purely for cutting cost, and utter disrespect for their customers. As a loyal customer of the digital Living magazine for over 5 years, I've always admired the magazines contents and designs, I sincerely hope that this decision is only temporary, or it is truly a giant step backwards.
It's a good thing.... NOT!!
Bad, bad move MSL. What a piece of crap this app has become with the April issue. Why even bother? I used to give my print issues to friends and read only the digital version since I enjoyed it so much more. No longer. I really don't think I will even renew my print subscription. MSL used to be one of the best magazines out there. When compared to the earlier issues, the current ones are merely a shell of what they used to be. Personally, I think MSL has outlived its usefulness. There are so many other lifestyle magazines out there that do a much better job and are more interesting to read. Even the Martha blog has become somewhat of a joke. Do we really need to read about how her donkeys are bathed?? Come on, Martha.. Get your magazine back on track before it's too late!
I'm surprised so many people rate this so low - I've only ever subscribed to the digital version, but I've never had a problem re-downloading my content etc. It works great.
First, I love Living - the content is wonderful. And the adjustments they've made for the digital format are really clever and totally enhance the experience. I'm definitely renewing my subscription when it's time. I do think it would be useful if landscape view was supported, and there was a text enlargement option for people with vision problems (like the Kindle app).

HARRISBURG, March 13 – Centre County state Rep. Scott Conklin has been appointed to serve as the Democratic chairman of the Children and Youth Committee in the House of Representatives. "I'm honored and very excited to take on this job and contribute to the success of Governor Tom Wolf's ambitious agenda to improve the lives of children," Conklin said. Democratic Leader Frank Dermody said Conklin was a natural choice to lead the committee's Democrats. "With his background as a former county commissioner, Representative Conklin is very familiar with how children and youth services are delivered through county agencies," Dermody said. "Scott also was part of the concentrated and successful effort to improve Pennsylvania's child protection laws in the last three years." Conklin will work with the committee's majority chairperson, Rep. Katharine Watson of Bucks County. "This House committee is known for the ability of members to put partisan differences aside and work productively for the protection and benefit of children," Conklin said. "I look forward to continuing that tradition." Conklin was first elected to the House in 2006 and currently is serving his fifth term. Read more
HARRISBURG, March 25 – Centre County state Rep. Scott Conklin released the following statement congratulating Sgt. Adam Hartswick for his commitment to the U.S. Army following his retirement ceremony held today in Bethesda, Md.: "Regretfully, I could not be with Adam today because my legislative duties find me in Harrisburg taking part in budget hearings before the House Appropriations Committee. However, my thoughts are solidly with Adam and his family. "I would like to extend my personal thank you to an exemplary soldier and young man. Getting to know Adam through our local work together is a true privilege. The signing of the Sgt. Adam Hartswick Interchange bill into law is a career highlight of mine. "Adam is a true inspiration to his family, the community he calls home and his fellow soldiers who are overcoming adversity just as he has. "Sergeant Hartswick has a bright future ahead of him and I am certain that what he does in his next phase of life will be just as meaningful as his military service. "Congratulations. Today, we salute you." Read more
HARRISBURG, March 3 – Centre County state Rep. Scott Conklin released the following statement in response to Gov. Tom Wolf's 2015-16 budget address: "Governor Wolf's plan is comprehensive and ambitious. "The plan makes investments in the state's future with increases in education funding. We are looking to rebuild a broken education funding system that was the product of the last four years. Penn State is a leader in higher education and Governor Wolf made it clear that he recognizes that. With a proposed funding increase, we can restore cuts that have been made and better prepare students for their careers in the workforce. He is proposing an increase in funding for Penn State of more than 10 percent and that would be meaningful. "I am pleased that the governor and I share the same sentiments when it comes to utilizing opportunities within the Marcellus Shale natural gas development. We would tap into a new revenue source that would still keep us on top as an energy leader without using a single dime of taxpayers' money. Why not use this budget as an opportunity to provide an additional revenue source to help those who need it most? "As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, I will be actively involved in the next step of the process which includes three weeks of public hearings and discussions about state agencies' needs. The governor has laid the groundwork, the House and Senate will now pick up their Read more
STATE COLLEGE, Feb. 24 – Centre County state Rep. Scott Conklin released the following statement on the announcement of ESPN's suspension of Keith Olbermann for a week. The suspension is a result of comments Olbermann made against the Pennsylvania State University's student body relating to the university's annual pediatric cancer fundraiser, THON: "I commend ESPN's decision, but more importantly, I commend the fundraising effort of Penn State students. "The only headlines we should be reading are ones praising the charitable acts of Penn State students. The only focus should remain on the millions raised to fight pediatric cancer. It is unfortunate that Mr. Olbermann decided instead to attack the integrity of this great university and its student body. "He was totally off target. When you have young people raising almost $14 million to help sick children in this country, to have someone of his credentials use his personal prejudice against Penn State -- a university high in academics, high in achievement -- is unacceptable. "There should be nothing but congratulations for these young people," Conklin said. Read more

HARRISBURG, Jan. 6 – State Rep. Scott Conklin, D-Centre, announced today that he took the oath of office to begin his fifth term representing the 77th Legislative District. "Representing the Centre Region in the Pennsylvania General Assembly is very humbling," Conklin said. The swearing-in ceremony in the House chamber marked the beginning of the 199th Legislative Session. The state constitution mandates that the legislature convene at noon on the first Tuesday of January each year. "Lowering and keeping our unemployment rate low is at the top of my priority list," Conklin said. "In addition, I will be fighting to increase public education funding and lower school property taxes that burden so many Centre County residents. "This marks the beginning of a new two-year term and I am ready to hit the ground running." The 77th Legislative District includes Philipsburg, State College borough, Huston and Rush townships, and portions of Ferguson and Patton townships. Conklin has two constituent service centers in his district. The State College service center is located at 301 S. Allen St., Suite 102, and can be reached at (814) 238-5477. The Philipsburg service center is located at 209 E. Presqueisle St. and can be reached at (814) 342-4872. Various resources and links to state programs also are available at www.pahouse.com/Conklin.

Sherrice Thomas is a writer working on her first masterpiece entitled THE BALANCE FINDER, which is a tool for Christian women seeking to find balance according to God's plan. In this guest post she shares a few things she learned at the 2009 Black Writers Reunion & Conference in Las Vegas.
15 Things I Learned at BWRC
By Sherrice Thomas, Writer on a Journey to Destiny
In the past, I simply wrote for fun. I was not concerned about editing, finding an agent or getting published. Then, one day, I had an epiphany: I could write for a living. Last year I attended the Black Writer's Conference and Reunion (http://www.blackwriters.org/) in Las Vegas, Nevada—my first writer's conference ever!
At the conference, I learned if I wanted to make writing my career, those things I was previously not concerned about needed to be added to my game plan. My prayer life and overall life philosophy changed as a result. Here are a few things I learned while gleaning from other writers at the conference.
1. You must be able to get along with people if you want to sell your books.
2. You must know how to write a query letter and book proposal.
3. You can advertise on your blog and earn a little extra cash on the side.
4. Weak character development equals a weak book.
5. In order to write full-time, it is a good idea to have multiple streams of income.
6. Self-publishing is hard work, yet can be lucrative if you properly market your book.
7. Publishing companies do not necessarily provide you with a marketing budget.
8. Editing and typesetting are keys to success.
9. Write every day.
10. You must be a reader to be a good writer.
11. All writers' conferences are not created equal.
12. N. Kali Mincy has a great Fiction Writing Toolkit (www.coachgreatwriters.com).
13. Tia Ross is the hardest working woman in event planning and editing (www.tiaross.com).
14. William Patterson is a marketing genius (www.baronseries.com).
15. ReShonda Tate Billingsley (www.reshondatatebillingsley), Sophia Simmons (www.sophiasimmonsonline.com), Monique Mensah (www.moniquedmensah.com) and Donna Deloney are great writers.
After leaving this conference, I no longer see myself as a training consultant. I now see myself as a writer. I was born to do this and I plan to fulfill the dream. I am a writer on a journey to destiny. How about you?

He is possessed by religion. They want a war to bring the Mahdi back, like the Jews want a war to manifest the messiah and Bush wanted war to bring back Jesus.
