Sexy Or Sexist? Marie Claire's Ads Feature Women Holding Their Own Decapitated Heads
These ads caught my eye -- which I suppose is exactly what their creators at Brazilian ad agency Publicis had in mind when they created them. The image is arresting, isn't it? In this provocative ad series, the women appear to be holding their own lopped off heads. The tagline is an odd fit, though.

Over the years, we've poked fun at a lot of "based on a true story" movies that turned out to be bullshit. But then we thought that maybe we should stop giving Hollywood shit for embellishing history a bit if it lets them tell a slightly better story. So instead, we decided to give Hollywood…

From The Agitator (via Andrew Sullivan):
The latest absurdity to come out of the Office of National Drug Control Policy is an anti-pot PR campaign with the motto, "Hey, not trying to be your mom, but there aren't many jobs out there for potheads." The first three ads suggest that drug users can look forward to a career as a "burrito taster," a "couch security guard," or "remote control operator." It's an incredibly lame campaign, and reeks of stodgy wonks making a desperate attempt to look hip…
Here's my challenge to Agitator readers, bloggers, and others: In this comments thread, let's compile a master list of admitted pot smokers—current or former—who not only haven't ended up as heroin junkies or burnouts, but have gone on to lead successful lives… I'll get it started:
Barack Obama, president-elect. Bill Clinton, 42nd president of the U.S. John Kerry, U.S. Senator and 2004 Democratic nominee for president. John Edwards, multi-millionaire, former U.S. Senator, and 2004 Democratic nominee for vice president. Sarah Palin, governor of Alaska, 2008 Republican nominee for vice president. British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, Transport Secretary Ruth Kelly, and and Chancellor Alistair Darling. Josh Howard, NBA all-star. New York Governor David Paterson. Former Vice President, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and Oscar winner Al Gore. Former Sen. Bill Bradley, who smoked while playing professional basketball. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, and former New York Governor George Pataki. Billionaire and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
That's the result of a five-minute Google search. The presence of so many high-ranking politicians so early in the search results puts the lie to the ONDCP's ridiculous ad campaign, and shows that to the extent that marijuana is harmful, the harm lies mostly in what the government will do to you to you if it catches you.

Utah high school basketball: 10 boys basketball players to watch moving into region play
As the state's basketball teams prepare for region play, wins and losses become more important. The next six weeks will be about region titles and playoff seeding, rather than rankings or bragging rights. Heading into this critical section of their schedules, there are just four undefeated teams — 5A's Davis, 4A's Timpview and Springville, and 2A's Beaver.
Nationally ranked Lone Peak's only loss is to another nationally ranked team in the City of Palms Tournament. The Knights not only have a national ranking and the state's No. 1 ranking, they have three of the state's top 10 players in their starting line-up.
The Deseret News' 10 players to watch includes four future Cougars, one future Ute and two future Aggies. Of the 10 players, three are juniors, while the rest are seniors.
They include the state's top three offensive players — South Sevier's Race Parsons (26.1 ppg), East's Parker Van Dyke (27 ppg), and Weber's Hayden Schenck (28.4 ppg).
From across the state of Utah, here are all the players in the Deseret News boys prep hoops watch list.

Hollywood movie star sisters' 90-year feud ends
THOMAS ADAMSON, Associated Press
PARIS (AP) — Joan Fontaine's 1942 Oscar was so much more than a trophy. Competing head-to-head with her older, more famous sister — "Gone With the Wind" star Olivia de Havilland — it finally was proof the 24-year-old rising actress had exacted the ultimate revenge on her sibling in a fierce rivalry that dated back to childhood.

Happy New Year
As 2014 has drawn to a close, the Town of Evans has accomplished much.
The Sturgeon Point Nature Trail was completed and dedicated at the end of summer. The project was funded through a New York State Departemnt of Environment grant. This new addition enhances the services provided by our marina also serving as a new destination for recreation within our Town.
The Dog Park is finished and will be dedicated this spring. The generosity of LADS Pet Foods enabled us to construct a facility that has been desired by many residents for some time and, again, without cost to the taxpayer.
Development and investment is beginning to increase. The Woods at Greycliff will begin construction this summer. The second phase of the "Hike-Bike" path will begin this spring as well. Several new businesses have been meeting with the appropriate departments with the hope that this revitalization will add a much needed increase in the tax base to keep taxes at a minimum and provide new service and job opportunities for all citizens.
Each Town Department has been reorganized, making them more efficient, less costly to operate, and more peple and business-friendly. The Town's finances continue to improve with a decrease in unnecessary lawsuits and an aggressive approach to cost savings. These cost savings include: a reduction in cell phone use, as well as the elimination of duplicate lines; solar power, enabling a significant cut in emergey costs; and technology improvements that were accomplished "in house" instated of utilizing outside contractors. All vendor contracts have been restructured, cutting waste or simply eliminating those contracts that wouldn't negotiate savings for our Town.
The Town's Police Department received State funding secured by former State Senator, Mark Grisanti, for the purchase of a police boat that will be moored at the Sturgeon Point Marina. The Marina itself was also the recipent of State dollars to help defer the cost of annual dredging. The Parks Department is currently securing bids for that task added with the possiblilty of an early opening. The Town Board appointed its first ever Senior Citizen Advisory Board. Their task will be to assist the Town's Director of of Seniors by bringing more programs, as well as innovative ideas to enhance our current Senior Center.
I look forward to 2015, as we continue to manage the Town's finances, keeping the momentum of development moving forward and enhancing fiscal stability by simply "Doing the Right Thing."
Best Wishes in 2015,
Keith E. Dash, Supervisor Town of Evans

The Town of Evans encompasses the Village of Angola with a combined population of approximately 20,000 people.
Our approximate twelve miles of shoreline significantly increases our summer population as people flock to the beachfront to enjoy its rural beauty and public parks.
Supervisor Dash is pleased to announce the Town of Evans participation in the Hometown Hero's Recognition program. The Town has partnered with the VFW Ladies Auxiliary Post #5798 of Angola to honor our military by constructing a photo display, with a short biography of each hero represented, to grace the main hall of the Evans Town Hall Municipal Building.

Posh New Libertador Palacio Hotel Opens in Cusco, Peru
New this summer, the Libertador Palacio del Inka is yet another reason to trek to Peru this fall as the country enters into its spring season. Among the many perks at the hotel—which is under Starwood Hotels' luxury collection—are these two: a spa and a restaurant serving authentic Peruvian cuisine.
It's located in the San Isidro section of Cusco, directly across from the Koricancha and near the main plaza and San Blas neighborhood (home to many artists). A mix of colonial and Inca buildings surround the hotel. Each of the hotel's 203 rooms—across four categories, from Superior Room, with a Queen or King bed; to Senior Suite Room, stocked with Peruvian antiques plus lots of hand-carved and hand-painted accents) includes an iPod docking station, a mini bar, high-thread-count sheets, and either a balcony or a patio. In-room massages can also be arranged. Some rooms boast a view of the Koricancha temple.
At the spa, many treatments incorporate locally harvested ingredients and the ambiance is entirely authentic with Inca walls and colonial-style balconies.
Inti Raymi Restaurant specializes in authentic Peruvian cuisine (culling Andean ingredients like quinoa, potatoes, and other vegetables from Peru's Sacred Valley) while the lobby bar, Rumi Bar, is a casual spot for sipping cocktails or Pisco Sours.
Three luxury-themed packages pack in even more posh during a stay: "Taste of Luxury" (daily breakfast and fourth-night free), "Luxury Romance" (Champagne and flowers on arrival and in-room breakfast with a minimum two-night stay), and "Luxury Holiday" (buffet breakfast daily and seventh-night free).
Kristine Hansen is a freelance writer based in Milwaukee where she reports on food, wine, and travel topics around the globe for Fodors.com, along with new-hotel openings. She also writes for Wine Enthusiast, TIME, Whole Living and American Way. In 2006 she co-authored The Complete Idiot's Guide to Coffee and Tea (Alpha Books/Penguin).

Paul Craig Roberts - The hypocrisy of the West, is nauseating. It makes one ashamed.Submitted by go213mph on Fri, 08/31/2012 - 08:18
NOTE: After watching what happened at the RNC and knowing all we know about the unconstitutional executive orders and signing statements by Obama, I'm amazed to see that the majority of Amerikans still don't seem to notice or care. I honestly beleive that the president could come on TV and address the nation and tell Amerikans that yes, he and the rest of the politically well connected are stealing trillions from the pubic purse, and yes, he and NATO are sending young Amerikans off to die not in defense of freedom but to secure resources for multi-national corporations and oh, by the way, 9/11 is not exactly what we have been told....The president could say all that and Amerikans STILL wouldn't do anything different. The Amerikan population has been so brainwashed it has stockholm syndrome. I'm stunned that people either know about the FED and don't care or they just refuse to believe the FED is a criminal banking cartel stealing from our children and the unborn. I'm stunned that the RNC has publicly shown that it is NOT about free choice but an authoritarian process that only allows participants IT FINDS acceptable...and nobody notices....nobody cares. I'm stunned that Amerika continues killing innocent peoeple through aggressive wars and nobody notices....nobody cares. (end of my rant)

Many of us are feeling weary of the battle.
But it comes down to this. If we the few do not continue in the battle for truth and freedom, then the world is lost in a tide of fascism that will not be recognized by the masses until almost every freedom is lost. And then, when the masses awaken, there will be a very bloody revolution as happened in the French Revolution and the Russian Revolution.
Ron Paul believed we could turn this around, restore the constitution and freedom. I will never forget his example, and that gives me the courage and strength to keep trying.
It is TRUE----but it takes 1/4 mile to turn a ship,
once the rudder has been turned!
What is MORE INTRIGUIGING is why is it that WE, the minority, have opened our eyes, when we started listening to Ron Paul? Perhaps, we had more eager minds. I don't know. But, why haven't more of the masses woken up? How can they still be duped by the ploy of voting for the lesser of two evils, when they KNOW they are both not good?
We have intelligent relatives who, in spite of our talking to them, STILL are bent on voting for Romney, regardless of any doubts they have.
ANSWER: Cable TV
It is our #1 Enemy! And, the utterly evil elitist people have used it entirely to their advantage, by using the mantra, i.e., "Better than Obama"--BTO.
I am starting to talk to relatives about turning off Cable TV. I am starting to talk about why we shouldn't believe anything the TV says, and especially any of the pundits, when the powerful money interests are totally behind all that is said on the TV. In fact, I am saying it's downright idiotic!
WATCH THE SPORTS.......BUT NOT THE NEWS........is my new Mantra. And, there is evidence it has started working. How? Because of the very negative opinions that there is "NO difference between the parties" opinion, is becoming pervasive across the country. So, why do many still think voting for the lesser of two evils is their only choice?
For the same reason it takes a ship a 1/4 mile to make a turn, once the rudder has been turned. In other words, it takes time. But, it will happen within 4 years, imho. This celebration will end that the elites have rigged....sooner than later for the masses, as they are starting, beginning to realize what is happening...
Amerika is born
"What if the American people learn the truth" - Ron Paul

Dating in Hollywood's spotlight can be thrilling and challenging for celebrities. While it can be intense for the stars to navigate love with their partner under the microscope of the media and paparazzi, it's even more problematic when couples break-up and part ways. As we know, breaking up is hard to do and many couples do not remain on amicable terms. However, here is a look at several celebrity couples who have managed to stay friends after ending their romance.
Demi Moore and Bruce Willis:
Demi and Bruce were married for over a decade, are parents to three daughters, and also have the "biggest drama-free divorce in Hollywood". During Demi's six-year marriage to Ashton Kutcher, it was widely publicized that Bruce spent time with Demi, Ashton, and the kids (the gang appeared everywhere together from red carpets to exotic vacations!). When Demi and Ashton's marriage dissolved, Bruce was a shoulder for his former wife to cry on. So what's the secret to the harmony between them? Many speculate it is their shared devotion to their kids, and the fact that their union dissolved without any rumors of infidelity.

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philippe:
Reese and Ryan married young and split after seven years of marriage. The marriage produced two children, and the grounds of divorce were reported as "irreconcilable differences". However, in the several years that have passed since they parted ways romantically, it's apparent that this duo has stayed tight and they have a fantastic friendship. In fact, Ryan and Reese are frequently spotted (with Reese's current husband, Jim Toth) watching their son's soccer games together! Hollywood insiders believe the secret to Reese and Ryan's friendship is open lines of communication and talking through any issues that come up.

Kendra Wilkinson and Hugh Hefner:
Kendra became a star by living in the Playboy mansion as one of Hugh's girlfriends. Kendra ended her romantic relationship with Hugh, but the couple remained so friendly that Kendra and Hank Baskett were married at the Playboy mansion, and it was initially reported that Hugh would give the bride away during her wedding ceremony! Kendra has a young son with Baskett, and she's made it known she wants her son to call Hugh "The Godfather".  Recently, Kendra was quoted saying she wanted to kill Hugh's current wife, Crystal Harris, because she is skeptical of her intentions. This statement is evidence of the deep friendship between Kendra and Hugh; it's obvious these two always have the others best interest in mind, and they aren't afraid to stand up for each other when necessary!
It's certainly not common for celebrity couples to remain friends after the romance fizzles, but it is reassuring to see how these couples have made it work and stayed close. There are obviously lessons to be learned from Demi and Bruce, Reese and Ryan, and Kendra and Hugh. Tell Cupid: what do you think is the most important advice for two people transitioning from lovers to buddies?

Jefferson backs bill that would allow seniors to stay in homes while receiving health care services
Online Staff Report
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — To provide a better quality of life for senior citizens and people with disabilities, state Rep. Chuck Jefferson, D- Rockford, voted for legislation reforming the Community Care Program (CCP), which allows disabled and elderly individuals to stay in their homes while receiving health care services.
"This is a successful program in terms of how people are treated, and how patients remain comfortably in their own homes while receiving quality care," Jefferson said. "The Community Care Program has unfortunately been severely underfunded, potentially putting our loved ones at risk, and resulting in more unpaid bills for the state. That's why I am supporting this measure to take common-sense steps to stabilize CCP and protect this crucial program for our most vulnerable residents."
House Bill 2275 reforms the Community Care Program, a state-funded program that provides in-home assistance to the elderly and people with disabilities. CCP allows individuals who would otherwise have to reside in a more costly and restrictive hospital or institutional setting to remain in their homes.
Currently, CCP will be underfunded by $315 million at the end of Fiscal Year 2013. H.B. 2275 aims address that shortfall and stabilize the program by making changes to Medicaid and cutting costs by taking advantage of new innovations in health care like data sharing and electronic visit verification.
"By taking full advantage of federal funds and new innovations in the health care field, we can reduce expenses and keep more seniors in their homes, allowing them a better overall quality of life," Jefferson said. "The changes that this bill makes to CCP should be a model for how we reform state programs in the future, and I look forward working with my colleagues in the House on similar reform packages that will save vital programs while reducing wasteful spending."
House Bill 2275 has passed both chambers and now awaits Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn's (D) approval. Contact Jefferson's full-time constituent service office at (815) 987-7433.

11 Things You Can Do in Philadelphia That You Can't Do Anywhere Else

Philadelphia is nestled snugly between the nation's capital and New York City, the largest city in the U.S. Like a middle sibling that's often overshadowed by its other siblings, it's no wonder the city of brotherly love is often overlooked or — even worse — gets a bad rap.

Despite the fame and illustriousness of its east coast neighbors, this surprisingly large city (it's the fifth largest in the nation) has plenty to boast about. If you're looking to spend a day (or five) in town, check out these 11 things you can only do in Philadelphia. (See also: Best Travel Rewards Credit Cards)

1. Recreate Rocky Balboa's Run Up the Steps

Join the tens of thousands of visitors who trek up the 72 steps to the entrance of the world class Philadelphia Museum of Art. From the top step, you can enjoy one of the most breathtaking views of the Philadelphia skyline. It's no wonder this gorgeous landmark that has been named the second most famous movie location in the entire world. Once inside, enjoy more than 300,000 works of art, including those from the Renaissance, American, Impressionist, and Modern eras. (See also: 9 Fun and Affordable Vacation Ideas)

2. Hang Where the Country's Forefathers Once Dined

Tour a hidden piece of Philadelphia history at Hamilton's Mansion, a forgotten treasure tucked away inside the Woodlands Cemetery in University City.

Constructed in 1770, the house boasts what may have been one of the finest neoclassical interior spaces of its time, along with sophisticated servant's quarters that were among the first of their kind. "When touring the home," says Marla McDermott, Chief Experience Officer and Lifestyle Concierge for Iheartphl.com, "it's surreal to think that you're standing on the same original wood plank floors where guests like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin once dined. You just can't do that anywhere else."

3. See the Strangest Medical Oddities Ever

If you've ever wanted to see what a jar of pickled human skin looks like, well, now you can. At the Mütter Museum of Medical Oddities at the College of Physicians of Philadelphia you can see this and more, including a display of 139 skulls that were collected by a Viennese anatomist in the 1800s; 1300 jars of bottled body parts, cysts, and tumors; and even small slices of Albert Einstein's brain, carefully preserved in glass slides.

4. Visit One of the World's Finest Collections of Impressionist Art

The Barnes Foundation houses the vast private art collection of self-made millionaire Albert Barnes. From 1912 until his death in 1951, Barnes collected 19th and 20th century French masterpieces from the most daring artists of the time, including Cézanne, Renoir, Monet, Picasso, and van Gogh. "If you're going to check out only one museum in Philadelphia," says McDermott, "the Barnes Foundation is a can't miss."

5. Walk Through the Inside of a Giant Beating Heart

Inside the Franklin Institute Science Museum you can walk through a beating model heart that's large enough for a person the height of the Statue of Liberty. Also explore a host of permanent and rotating exhibits, including Circus! Science Under the Big Top, 101 Inventions that Changed the World, and a rooftop observatory.

6. Get Spooked at the World's First True Penitentiary

(And yes, it's haunted.)

The now vacant Eastern State Penitentiary revolutionized the penal system in 1829 with this imposing prison built to house criminals in solitary confinement. "It's design was so innovative for it's time that it was the inspiration for Alcatraz," says McDermott. "The prison also once housed famous criminals like Al Capone and Willie Sutton." Closed since 1971, the prison is now open to tour, year-round. If you really want to get scared, visit in October for Terror Behind the Walls, one of the most terrifying annual haunted houses you'll ever visit.

7. Take a Stroll Down America's Oldest Residential Street

People have been living on Elfreth's Alley in Old City since 1728, making it the oldest continually inhabited residential street in the nation. The National Historic Landmark consists of one cobblestone-lined alley that is flanked by Georgian and Federal-style homes and provides a glimpse at how the 18th Century working class smiths, glassblowers, and furniture builders once lived.

8. Eat the World's Best Cheesesteak

Philly is famous for loading up a freshly baked hoagie roll (See? Where else will you get a hoagie roll but in this fine city?) with thinly sliced rib eye steak and then smothering it with heaps of fried onions and, depending on where you dine, either cheese whiz or melted provolone. Like all fine things, you'll find variations on the original, but this is the gist. Dalessandro's in Roxborough is a favorite but explore for yourself with this list of top cheesesteak shops in the city. Resistance is futile so come prepared with an elastic waistband. You've been warned.

9. Visit the Nation's First Zoo

The Philadelphia Zoo, opened in 1874, sits on 42 acres in the middle of the city and is home to 1,300 animals, including many that are rare or endangered. The zoo features a 2.5 acre primate preserve; Big Cat Falls, where visitors can stand eye-to-eye with 12 endangered big cats, separated only by a pane of glass; and a miniature African plain featuring white rhinos, reticulated giraffes, zebras, hippos, and gazelles. Throughout the zoo are statues of endangered animals, constructed completely out of legos. Peacocks and Peahens also roam the zoo freely.

10. See the Birthplace of Our Nation

Philadelphia served as the backdrop for much of our country's battle for independence, and we have the landmarks to prove it. Visit Independence Hall, where the Constitution and Declaration of Independence were created. The first continental congress met at Carpenter's Hall and the American flag was sewn at the Betsy Ross House.

11. Get In Touch With Nature

It's a little known secret to city outsiders but Philadelphia is home to the largest landscaped urban park in the world. There are 9,200 acres of nature across 63 parks, making it easy to access from almost anywhere in the city. You can go for a stroll, pack a family picnic, or grab your fishing rod for a day in the stocked creek. "Few things beat spending a beautiful afternoon riding along the scenic Schuylkill River Trail, then looping around to Martin Luther King Drive," says McDermott, "Especially on weekends from April through October, when the road is closed to auto traffic." Rent a bike or segway and start exploring.

How to Visit Museums for Free

Whether you're into art or archeology, spacecrafts or handicrafts, there's a museum for you — and you may be able to visit a museum that interests you for free. (See also: How to Have a Frugal Vacation and Still Treat Yourself)

Some museums are always free, including some of the most popular museums in the country, such as the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, National Air and Space Museum, and National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. In fact, most of the Smithsonian's 19 museums and the National Zoo are free.

If you don't live near the nation's capital or aren't planning a visit, don't worry. Chances are good that a museum near you has at least certain days or times when admission is free.

Search for a Free Museum Near You

A quick internet search is one of the easiest ways to find free museums in your area. Search "free museums in…" and then the name of your city. When I did that for Chicago, which is close to where we live, I found several blogs and other sites that had comprehensive lists of museums that have free days.

Here are the best sites I found for the scoop on museum free-days in the five largest cities in the country.

New York

Los Angeles

Chicago

Houston

Philadelphia (No listing of free museum days could be found, but this site shows you all of the city's museums and their websites, so you can check for free offers.)

While searching for these, I also found these popular kids museums that offer free or deeply discounted admission on certain days and times.

Children's Museum of Indianapolis

Children's Museum of Houston

Boston Children's Museum

Brooklyn Children's Museum

Minnesota Children's Museum (St. Paul)

The Association for Children's Museums can help you find children's museums in other cities.

You could also start by finding out what museums are near you by searching for the name of your city and "museums." After finding a museum that interests you, go to its website and find its "Admission" page. If the museum offers free days, you'll usually find the info there.

Free Museum Visits in Your Wallet

Many libraries offer card holders free passes to nearby museums, zoos, botanical gardens, and more. Check at your local library so see if this option is available.

If you have a Bank of America credit or debit card, the company's Museums on Us program gives you free access to many museums, zoos, and more on the first full weekend of each month.

If you're a member of a museum, check to see if it has a reciprocity agreement with other museums. Premium members of the Art Institute of Chicago, for example, have free access to 16 other museums in the U.S. and Canada.

If you're on active duty with the military, National Guard, or Reserve, a proper ID card will grant you and up to five family members free entry to your choice of more than 1,000 museums around the country through Labor Day via a National Endowment for the Arts program called the Blue Star Museums Initiative.

"Visit" Museums for Free

One final free option for those who love art museums doesn't even require leaving the comfort of your home. Google's Art Project provides no-cost online access to some of the world's finest art museums, including New York's Metropolitan Museum, Museum of Modern Art, and Frick Collection; London's National Gallery and Tate Britain; the Uffizi in Florence; Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum; and more.

The Price of Free

Keep in mind that free admission doesn't mean you won't spend anything on your visit. At most museums, you'll pay plenty for parking, special exhibits, audio tours, and food.

It's also best to check with the museum directly before you go just to be sure their free offers are still available.

Get More Bang for Your Membership Buck!

If you are looking for a way to get out of the house, and do something without breaking the bank, it may seem your options are limited, but using these simple tricks, you will be able to get out of the house without going broke.

Free Days

Many museums offer days of the year, or hours during the week, where you can get in for free or reap deep discounts. For instance, here is a fantastic list on NY.com of museums in New York City that are free, take only donations, or offer free times every week.

Scout your local area's websites, and call your local museums/attractions, to find out if and when they offer any free or pay-as-you-wish times.

Another option is to volunteer! If you volunteer you may get a free membership, or at the very least use of the museum or attraction after you are done helping out. Volunteering is also a fantastic way to meet people who share common interests.

It Pays to Be a Member

Purchasing a membership is the key to consistently going places on a budget. By being a "member," you can take advantage of reciprocal memberships. Reciprocal memberships are memberships that give you the benefit of admission to similar attractions.

By digging around on your chosen attraction's website, you can usually find any associations and rules for using your membership at other places. For instance, by using the American Horticultural Society's website, I was able to find a local garden membership at nearly half the cost of the garden I was considering joining.

You may find a membership at a vacation spot or in your hometown that is a less expensive option to your local attraction to stretch your dollar even further. This can be a boon when there are rules about how far away you have to be from your "home" museum or site.

Aren't sure you want to purchase a membership without visiting first? Ask if you can buy one that same day if you change your mind. In my experience, many places offer this benefit because it's a win-win. Just be sure to hold onto your receipt, and usually the membership office can deduct that day's fees.

Best Family Memberships

Look for a membership to one of the museums who belong to the Association of Children's Museums, which touts it "was rated by Real Simple, Nick Jr. Family Magazine, and others as the best value for families."

In my area, a membership to ACM affiliate The Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia is a fantastic deal. It saves you the $5 parking fee at every visit, and includes a number of free carousel rides.

Kid-Free Households

No kids? No problem! There are memberships to gardens, botanical centers, science centers, etc. that have the same benefits. Whatever your taste, you are sure to find some kind of museum or attraction that offers admission to other local, national or worldwide places. It may take longer to pay back your membership, but if you have a favorite place, it's well worth it.

Other Discounts on Memberships

Students should always make sure to take along your ID, as many museums offer student discounts.

Seniors also get discounts at a variety of venues.

Check with AAA, your workplace, and even your local government — you may find an extra discount, or discounted tickets.

Vacation and Memberships

When visiting another area for vacation or to visit family, you can leverage your memberships to see the local sights. You may find your memberships don't extend to that area, or your memberships don't extend to the attractions you want to see. In major metropolitan areas, look for multi-passes to several attractions.

In San Francisco, for example, you can choose the CityPass, which includes a muni/cable car pass and admission to:

the California Academy of Sciences

to Aquarium of the Bay

San Francisco MoMA

the Exploratorium or the deYoung/Legion of Honor art institutes

a cruise on the Blue/Gold Fleet

Just be sure you want to visit ALL the attractions, or you may end up spending more than you need to. When my husband and I visited San Francisco in June, we purchased a Muni/Cable Car pass only. It enabled us to take the cable cars multiple times ($5 for one way), the streetcars (my favorite), and Muni all over the city.

Another example, my family (6 of us) traveled to Baltimore 2 years ago, and thanks to our memberships, we went to the Children's Museum and the Science Center for FREE! We saved over $200 in admission fees.

Keep in mind that you can also plan ahead by using guidebooks and websites to find free or discounted admission times at various venues. Just be sure to call ahead, so you don't end up spending $100 without intending to!

Do the Math

My family has used memberships to save over $1,000 in the last 3 years. That's a lot of bang for our membership buck!

With a family of 6 a membership usually pays for itself pretty quickly. A few months ago we purchased a family membership to the Philadelphia Zoo. We would have paid $106 plus parking, but instead I bought and printed out our membership for $99 which included free parking. We only saved $7 on the first trip, but each additional trip adds another $106 to our savings total!

You may not have quite as large a brood, so here is a simple equation to figure out how many trips it will take to make membership worth your money:

Step 1: Cost of tickets x # of people = cost for 1 visit
 Example: $15 x 4 = $60

Step 2: Cost of membership / Cost for 1 visit = # of visits to pay for membership (round up)
 Example: $100 / $60 = 2 (rounded up)

In our example, it would take only 2 visits for a membership to be worth it!

My favorite part of using these memberships, however, is not saving money. It is the time well spent with your family or friends in a carefully and lovingly cared-for environment. Whether it's a science museum, an estate turned garden, a historic ship, or a children's museum we often find a renewed sense of wonder with each visit!

5 Tips for Sightseeing on the Cheap

When you're traveling, half the fun is seeing the sights — museums, historical locations, that sort of thing. But more and more of those sights are trying to make money off of tourists: they charge entry fees, mark up gift-shop items and offer outrageously priced cafeterias. There are ways to keep your sightseeing on the inexpensive side, especially if you have an opportunity to plan your itinerary ahead of time.

Look for Nationally-Controlled Sights

Museums are one of my favorite touristy sights — a national museum brings together a wide variety of exhibits that can show large portions of the country that you'd never get to see otherwise. Consider the Smithsonian Museums in Washington, D.C. They're run by the U.S. government, in a round about way, so entry to the museums is free, just like visiting the local monuments. There are more exhibits than you can go through in the average trip, too. Compare that to Mount Vernon, a popular tourist destination just outside of D.C. — there's perhaps a couple of hours of entertainment, and an adult ticket costs $13.

Go Off the Beaten Path

If you aren't visiting something that a lot of tourists aim for, you're more likely to avoid those costly entry fees and gift shops. I learned this rule young, hiking in the Garden of the Gods. While entry to the park is free, the commonly used trails practically lead inside of the Visitor's Center and its gift shop. Instead, heading on to the less popular trails offer more opportunities to explore and climb, and you'll wind up with just as good of a view of the park.

Check the Local Tourism Board

Those organizations in charge of bringing tourists to an area can be your best bet to find coupons and special deals. In Ireland, the local tourism offices in each town can often connect you with a deal for just about anything — I was with a group of students traveling around and they managed to call ahead and get a group rate fifteen minutes before we were planning to show up at an attraction. Tourism boards are often at their best when they're trying to convince you to visit their area — they can arrange special deals, notify you of upcoming events, and do other things to make sure their area gets your business.

Try Public Transportation

I think half the cities in the world have those hop-on-hop-off tour buses these days, and I really don't think they're the great deal they're made out to be. When touring Cardiff, a friend and I snagged a copy of their map and hopped on a public bus that went to basically the same places. Our tour cost literally a tenth of theirs and we didn't have to figure out what some squawking intercom was saying.

Go to Church

Many churches and other religious sites are considered amazing tourist attractions, such as Paris' Notre-Dame, but are free. Architectural buffs, take h eed: you can see some of the best-preserved buildings just by visiting religious sites during your sightseeing. Cemeteries can also be worth a visit, though you might not think of them at first. But if you're particularly interested in a particular historical figure, look up where they're interred: most cemeteries have some beautiful sculpture and can give you a great introduction to an area's history.

Complicity In Crisis: Can We Trust Ratings Agencies?
By editor
The current world economic crisis has raised hard questions about the assessments made by the big three ratings firms, S&P, Moody's and Fitch. It's also brought charges that they not only missed the onset of financial crisis, but helped fuel it with faulty judgments. Host Scott Simon talks with Roben Farzad, a senior writer for Bloomberg-Businessweek.

Three Things I Think: Big Ten, March 2Monday, March 2nd, 2015
After sweeping Wisconsin, Michigan has a three-point lead for first place in the conference. The Gophers split with the Spartans, dropping Minnesota to second and giving Michigan State third. Penn State is in fourth, thanks to a sweep by Ohio State. The Buckeyes are now eight points ahead of Wisconsin in the standings.
There's more separation between the top four teams, which are now separated by eight points. Remember – because of shootouts, a win equals three points. And there are four games left in the season, so that means 12 points are at stake.
The Badgers were swept by Michigan. While the Wolverines aren't scoring as many goals as earlier in the season, they appear more consistent than earlier in the year. And they dominated the Badgers in possession on Saturday (I'm saying this after watching, but the Corsi stats back it up).
(After the jump: Who can finish where, the best Big Ten goalkeeper and Ohio State is poised for a surge) (more…)
