So I bought some, seemed like the right thing to do at the time.
9:15 am, I placed a Limit order
11:30 the stock starts trading at 42, but I see no order confirmation
11:34 the stock drops to 40, I cancel the order, but it just sits there as Pending Cancel...
For 1 hour and twenty minutes I had no Idea what was going on.
NASDAQ was FUBAR on informing people about orders. So there was nothing we could do.
We couldnt buy more, we couldnt sell, all we could do was say "WTF mate"!
11:50 FB hits 38
12:50 My order goes thru, I own FB at 42, great, I think, at that time I was losing $2500, it was at 40.4
1:50 I sell my shares at 41.5, it only hit that price twice all day, I feel very lucky to have only lost $600.
4:00 FB closed at 38
I went shopping with a smile on my face.
Got $24 for another Pick-a-Brick cup of coins.
I got a Hawaiian pizza later. Sweet.
6:30 I noticed I had gotten an email at 5:22 from my online broker, entitled "Your Facebook Order Has Been Improved"
We proactively filled your order based on the opening price that you were due so that you were not restricted from trading the shares you owned. A review of your order resulted in a favorable price correction to $38.31 and this price is now reflected in your account. We apologize for the issues experienced in the marketplace today, as we are always striving to make your trading experience a positive one.
So they filled me at 42, awsome! That allowed me to bail.
Lots of people didnt have that chance. At the 4:00 close many people still had no idea what happened with orders they placed at 9:00 am.
Then later they adjusted the price I bought it at to 38.31....... AWESOME!
So instead of losing $600, I made $4200!

Keep What You've Earned
Posted on: June 28, 2013 08:00 EDT by Author's name
Sometimes it's hard to spot warning signs of a drinking problem in yourself or others. Some of the signs of a drinking problem include:
It helps to know these signs so you can make a change early.
If you think you might have a drinking problem, don't hesitate to get help. The preferred method of addressing potential or suspected abuse is through a "self-referral." Self-referrals allow you to get help before a problem becomes more advanced. You can start by talking to your command DAPA. Commanding Officer, medical personnel, or Chaplain. By getting help early, you can address your drinking habits before they result in serious consequences. Remember, if you decide to seek help yourself or through the help of your command, neither will result in any disciplinary action.
Alcohol is the most frequently used predatory drug used during sexual assaults. Research shows that up to 90 percent of sexual assaults involve the use of alcohol by the perpetrator, survivor, or both. Don't let alcohol impair your good judgment - know your limit and watch out for friends and shipmates who could be in vulnerable or dangerous situations.
If you think that a friend or shipmate needs help controlling their drinking, don't wait until they hit rock bottom - talk to them about your concerns. When approaching a friend, don't attempt to talk to them while they're drunk. Wait until they're sober, then express your concern rather than blame or criticize. Bring up specific incidents that worried you, and be sure to offer to go with them to get help. And remember that you can always ask your Command DAPA or SARP counselor for advice - they're the experts. Shipmates look out for one another and keep each other safe.
QMC(SW) Hopkins, Command DAPA: 410-293-3272

COLLINS LANDING About 15 truckloads of Canadian trash and scrap metal now cross the Thousand Islands Bridge daily, holding up traffic while the massive 18-wheelers are escorted across by bridge authority employees.
But none of those loads is dumped in the north country.
Chicago-based Mr. Bults Inc., the nations largest trash hauler, transports refuse across the bridge several times per day. After crossing the bridge, the MBI trucks bypass the north country and make a two-hour drive south, dumping their loads at Seneca Meadows Landfill, Seneca Falls. Last year, MBI bought and took over operations of Santaro Trucking Co., Syracuse, which previously hauled trash from Canada over the bridge for about five years.
Kingston-based Kimco Steel and Mulrooney Trucking haul scrap metal into the state daily over the Thousand Islands Bridge, but its mainly taken to the greater Syracuse area.
The Development Authority of the North Country, which operates a regional landfill in Rodman, has never collected trash from Canada because it is prohibited by the state, said Richard R. LeClerc, solid waste management division manager. The landfill now collects trash from public and private haulers in Jefferson, Lewis, St. Lawrence and Hamilton counties.
We have never accepted any and are not permitted to based on our state Department of Environmental Conservation permit, he said.
The Thousand Islands Bridge Authority is obliged to stop traffic when heavy truckloads from the three companies cross the bridge, said Robert G. Horr III, executive director. Trucks that weigh more than 90,000 pounds are escorted by authority employees. Truckers contact the authority 24 hours in advance of arrival to receive a permit to be escorted. Upon arrival, the trucks are weighed and inspected. Trucks that weigh more than 130,000 pounds arent allowed to cross.
Escorted trucks come from the Ottawa and Kingston area, Mr. Horr said, but the authority does not track the trucks destinations. Among the three trucking companies that make daily trips over the bridge, he said, about 15 trucks are escorted across the bridge every day.
The two other international bridges in the region in Ogdensburg and Massena also escort trucks carrying trash and scrap metal, but they dont do so on a routine basis like the Thousand Islands Bridge Authority. The Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority requires escort permits for trucks that weigh more than 90,000 pounds, or are over 13 feet wide, to cross the Ogdensburg-Prescott Bridge into New York, Deputy Executive Director Frederick S. Morrill said. It charges $100 for those trucks to be issued escort permits. Truckloads that weigh more than 105,000 pounds, however, have to be evaluated by consultants to ensure the bridge can handle the weight, Mr. Morrill said. Those truckers are charged $1,000 to be escorted.
The Seaway International Bridge linking Cornwall, Ontario, to Massena does not have any companies that require frequent escorts, said Wade N. Dorland, the operations manager of the Seaway International Bridge Corp. Truckloads weighing more than 115,000 pounds must be escorted across the bridge, he said, and those over 135,000 pounds cant cross without the completion of a successful engineering analysis.
Escorts are usually a one-off issue, and the majority are due to the size of the load being either too wide or long, Mr. Dorland said in an email.
Special hauling permits required for large trucks in New York state are based on criteria set by the state Department of Transportation, spokesman Michael R. Flick said. Trucks with a width of 12 or more feet, or a height of 14 or more feet, are required to be issued travel permits. Special permits are issued based on the weight of trucks, number of axles and an evaluation of travel routes.
Trucks are looked at individually for each permit, Mr. Flick said. We run the travel routes through our system to make sure the truck can cross under and over bridges.
Trucks that qualify as superloads under state law require escorts to cross state bridges, Mr. Flick said. To qualify, those trucks either weigh more than 200,000 pounds or are at least 165 feet long.

Social workers speak out against immigration policy
Nina Rabin, who authored the report, says immigration policies are taxing Arizona's foster care system and are denying parental custody once families are re-united.
Reporter: Jessica Chapin
TUCSON (KGUN9- TV) - Social service workers are speaking out against immigration policy on the same day Border Patrol announced a new crackdown on illegal immigrants.
Border Patrol will stop it's revolving door policy of sending border-crossers back to Mexico, and start enforcing harsher penalties. During a press conference at the ASU School of Social Work in Tucson, representatives from all over the field addressed their concerns with what they say is a broken system that breaks families apart. They pointed to a recent Applied Research Center study entitled "Shattered Families."
"The ripple effect of these policies, of the anti-immigrant and anti-Mexican sentiment that has flooded across our nation is being felt directly every single day by children in school, by people in hospitals, all across the country," said Cat Rodriguez with Derechos Humanos, an organization that provides aid to immigrants.
A volunteer with the organization representing families spoke about her concern for the children, saying, "We have tried to work with them very hard, but bottom line, they need their parents."
Many in social services argue the country's current policy to detain illegal immigrants results in splitting parents from their children who are U.S citizens, for long periods of time. Often times, they say while parents wait to find out about their status, children are forced into the foster care system. In several cases, parents are ultimately denied permanent custody because of what UA law professor Nina Rabin says is a communication breakdown between agencies.
"Literally people don't even know the phone numbers or names of these facilities so they can't locate the parents so their parents are totally cut out of the system," she said. Rabin recently conducted extensive research on the topic, finding several instances where Child Protective Services could not reach parents because they were detained, thereby missing the opportunity for mandatory evaluations and checks required to regain their children.
Policy analyst Yani Lincroft says the laws need to change to allow parents to fight for their status from the outside.
"I think the issue here is individuals need to understand... what it really means when it plays out to families," she said.
She says she's also concerned about the Border Patrol's new plans to crack down.
"I'm really concerned about whether or not this will lead to more time individuals have away from their family," she said, "away from their ability to care for folks that depend on them."
Lincroft says the situation is also draining child welfare resources, as 46 thousand deportees during the first six months of 2011 were parents of U.S citizen children.
The ARC study offers several policy suggestions in addition to allowing parents to fight their immigration battle without detention. They include providing more education about parents' legal rights, and better access to attorneys who specialize in those kinds of cases.

CANTON An Ogdensburg man has been indicted by a St. Lawrence County grand jury after he allegedly gave police false information last month while being questioned in connection with an assault case.
Marcus F. Smith, 40, of 215 Lafayette St., Apt. B, was indicted Monday on charges of second-degree forgery and false personation.
According to Ogdensburg police, Mr. Smith gave the name Marc Collins when questioned March 3. He later signed the same name, as well as providing an incorrect address and date of birth, police said.
Also indicted by the grand jury:
Courtney J. Errigo, 36, of Summerville, S.C., was indicted on five counts of aggravated driving while intoxicated and two counts of DWI after allegedly crashing her vehicle July 2 in the town of Norfolk with her two young daughters as passengers.
Indictment documents indicate that tests showed Ms. Errigos blood alcohol content was 0.29 percent following the crash. A BAC of 0.08 percent or more is considered proof of intoxication under state law. Aggravated DWI is charged when the BAC is 0.18 percent or more.
State police said Ms. Errigos daughters, then ages 3 and 5, were not in child restraints at the time of the crash. They were taken to Massena Memorial Hospital for evaluation, but were not injured, troopers said. Ms. Errigo suffered minor left arm injuries.
Joseph G. France, 38, of 442 Cousintown Road, Apt. 1, Canton, was indicted on two counts of DWI in connection with an Oct. 31, 2011, incident on County Route 21 in the town of Canton. Indictment documents indicate that tests showed Mr. Frances BAC was 0.14 percent.
He previously was convicted of felony DWI in 2007 and misdemeanor DWI in 2009, according to the indictment.

ADAMS Business owners are worried they will lose customers during a culvert replacement project that is expected to keep a stretch of Route 11 closed until September.
Detour signs went up Monday morning advising northbound and southbound drivers to hop on Interstate 81 to avoid a quarter-mile section between Michaels Road and Spook Hill Road, where a culvert will be replaced at the Hart Brook bridge. The construction zone is between Adams Center and Adams; the detour steers traffic to routes 177 and 178 to and from I-81.
Drivers can still get to businesses beyond the detour signs until they reach the section being repaired, which is closed to all traffic. But merchants fear customers now wont go out of their way to shop.
One business already affected is Behlings Spookhill Farms store at 12139 Route 11, near the intersection of Michaels Road. The produce stand, an Adams Center fixture, is only a short drive beyond the southbound detour sign, where only local traffic may pass. But owner Michael W. Behling already noticed business slowing Monday.
The road didnt actually close until about a half hour ago, he said Monday afternoon. But this morning workers put the detour signs up, and its been dead.
Most customers at the produce stand are local residents who make a habit of stopping by because its convenient, Mr. Behling said. But he predicted many Adams residents who commute to Watertown now will take I-81 on their way home from work. Driving to the produce stand would require those customers to backtrack, which he fears the after-work crowd wont be willing to do.
I think the local people in Adams will continue to come, he said. But if theyre coming in from Watertown, theyre probably just going to stay on I-81. Normally they would stop by to get some apples or sweet corn if theyre passing on Route 11, but it will now take a big effort. I think the after-work crowd is going to be the toughest.
Unlike some other proprietors affected by the closure, though, Mr. Behling said he is willing to put up with the inconvenience of slower business so the project can get done. The Jefferson County legislator, who represents the town of Adams, said he has listened to business owners complain about construction work numerous times as an elected official.
Its just one of those things that happens, he said. Its unfortunate, but I guess its now my turn as a business owner.
The cluster of businesses on the other side of the work zone, south of Michael Road, also will share the pain of lost traffic. Among them are Fuccillos Auto Mall, Tops Friendly Supermarkets, Subway, Ace Hardware and Stewarts Shop.
McDermotts Midtown Deli, directly across from Fuccillos at 10412 Route 11, captures much of its business from northbound traffic, owner Robin S. McDermott said. But she expects lunchtime traffic to slow down during August because of the project. She contended that DOT should have kept one lane open where the culvert is being replaced.
Theres no doubt this will affect our bottom line here, Ms. McDermott said. The answer is anyone whos coming north from Mannsville or Pulaski isnt going to get off I-81, and the ones going south are going to do the same thing.
She continued, It usually takes eight minutes to make deliveries to customers on Route 11 in Watertown Center, but its now going to take me a half-hour.
Jeffrey S. Pratt, general manager of the Ace Hardware store at 10799 Route 11, said using the I-81 detour is going to cost the store more time and money to deliver inventory.
I dont know how many people from Adams are working in Watertown that wont come in, but there will be some, he said.
Traffic at Stewarts Shop, however, is expected to get a boost from the closure, manager Michelle R. Duffy said. She said many of the stores customers who live in Adams will fill up their gas tanks there before they commute on I-81 to Watertown, because of the Route 11 closure.
Ive had a lot of my customers say theyre going to fill up here in the morning, so hopefully well get more business out of this. Its their first stop before they get on I-81.

I've never heard of any ISP's limiting you to a particular modem.
o my understanding, as long as you don't access from 2 places at the same time, it should be allright.
I have both two computers, one is running windows XP, and the other is running Linux. I'm looking around for an ISP provider. Is there any chance that one connection can be used on both machines? Not at the same time.
I'm thinking that there might be two problems.
(1) the modem id, is unique and the connection will only work for that modem.
(2) the protocall isn't the same for windows vs linux, but I'm guessing.
Does anyone have opinions on good or bad linux isp providers.
thanks Greg

Ok, is there anything special to look for when shopping. Anything I should research about the version of Linux that I'm using?
Do most companies such as:Netzero, AOL.....etc support Unix/linux?
Well, if you are dial up user, then your selection is VERY limited. Although there are some success with some people, the support stuff at ISPs are as good as anyone who knows nothing about Linux. Yeah so research carefully. I've never seen anyone using AOL with Linux but I may be wrong.
We have a few dial up users here so they will also response here when they see it. But depending on your area, selection is very limited.
there are quite a few small shops in the area -
a broad band one is:

Read: Marek Hrivik Can Pass/Needs To Get A Better Shot
In his first full season with the Whale, Marek Hrivik has 4 goals and 16 assists.
Hrivik, 6-1 and 197lbs had nine points in nine games for the Whale in the playoffs last season before the Rangers offered him a contract.
Updating how Hrivik is playing this season, Jim Schoenfeld told Blueshirts United "He sees the ice well. He is a very good passer/playmaker, he is sound defensively, he is good along the boards. The one area we want to see him improve is his shot. When you get to the NHL if all you are is a disher than teams are just going to defend you as a disher. You have to shoot it sooner or later or the people who you want to pass the puck to are always going to be covered. He is working on it everyday. Kenny has him shooting between 50 and 100 pucks a day and just by virtue of that repetition he will get better."
Leslie Treff writes at Hockey's Future that Hrivik has "outstanding size, good speed and excellent passing skills."
Hrivik has nine points in 12 December games for the Whale.

Once a month, the Simms/Mann–UCLA Center for Integrative Oncology presents Insights Into Cancer, a free public lecture series for cancer patients, their families and the community. Each lecture features a leading professional who provides up-to-date information, practical advice and answers to cancer-related questions. May 14, 2013PET/CT Cancer Imaging: Cancers Eat a lot of Sugar
There are many different ways to detect and diagnose cancer. PET imaging is one way to accomplish this. For PET imaging, patients are injected with a small amount of a radioactively marked sugar which, once in the body, reach those organs and tissues that consume a lot of sugar. Tumors consume up to 30 times more sugar then normal tissue. Since the injected sugar is radioactive we can detect its location in the body with a scanner, the PET scanner. The scan then provides us with the following information.
Is it cancer? What organs are involved? Has the cancer spread? Did the treatment work?"
These are questions that the oncologist and the patient and family wonder and hope for reliable and valid answers. One decade ago work began that resulted in what is now called the clinical PET/CT and it is the most exciting and novel imaging tool in oncology today. This tool has dramatically changed how these important questions are addressed. At UCLA over 7000 patients have been studied with the new technology and there is a diagnostic advantage in about 15% of patients with cancer over the previous PET scan alone. As a result more than 2000 PET/CT scanners have been installed worldwide. This presentation helps patients and their family members to understand how imaging techniques are an integral part of comprehensive cancer care. PET/CT imaging plays a vital role in determining stage, and effectiveness of treatments and there is clinical evidence that it is superior to PET or CT alone. Several types of cancer will be used to illustrate how PET/CT is used in diseases such as breast, lung cancer and lymphoma and sarcoma.
Johannes Czernin, M.D., Professor, Vice Chairman Molecular and Medical Pharmacology, Director of Nuclear Medicine at UCLA and Chief of the Ahmanson Biological Imaging Division at UCLA, received his degree from the University of Vienna, Austria Medical School. He began his work as a postdoctoral scholar at UCLA in 1989. Initially focusing on PET imaging of the heart, he turned his interest to cancer imaging with FDG-PET in 1997. He has established a large clinical research program addressing the usefulness of PET imaging for managing cancer patients.
Insights Into Cancer lectures are held in the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center Auditorium, B Level, Room B130, 757 Westwood Plaza, Los Angeles, CA 90095.

Jersey Shore's 'The Situation' is Against Bad BreathWednesday, February 3rd, 2010
Last week it was Simon Cowell, now this week we have yet another celebrity who has a phobia of halitosis. We found out something that Jersey Shore resident Mike, also known as 'The Situation', can't function without! It's not a tanning bed, the gym, or a washer/dryer– it's a toothbrush!
According to a source, "The Situation always has a toothbrush on him. Always. Bad breath is the one thing that scares him more than pale people at the beach."
Bad breath is just not 'cool', is it?

EDITOR'S NOTE: This article was originally published in the August 2010 issue of Kiplinger's Retirement Report.
Perhaps you had two careers. In one job, you were a government employee whose earnings were exempt from the Social Security payroll tax. You also worked in the private sector, paying into the Social Security system. When you retire, you'll get your public pension, but don't count on getting your full Social Security benefit.
Under federal law, any Social Security benefits you earned will be reduced if you were a federal, state or local government employee who earned a pension on wages that were not covered by Social Security. Reductions also apply to Social Security spousal or survivor benefits that are claimed by government pensioners.
David Walrath, a lobbyist for the California Retired Teachers Association, says many government employees don't realize their Social Security will be squeezed until they apply. "People will get their annual statement with a benefit number, but they're not told they're subject to an offset," says Walrath, with the consulting firm of Murdoch, Walrath & Holmes, in Sacramento, Cal.
The two rules that cover government employees are the "windfall elimination provision" (WEP) and the "government pension offset" (GPO). The WEP applies to workers, and the GPO applies to government pensioners who are applying for Social Security spousal and survivor benefits.
Patricia Kohlen got hit by both. Kohlen, 61, paid into a public pension system for 28 years when she worked as an elementary school teacher in Atascadero, Cal. She also worked part-time as a secretary and paid Social Security taxes through that job.
Just before Kohlen retired with a disability in 2003, her statement showed that she was due $247 a month in Social Security disability payments. The windfall provision reduced the payments to $108 a month. Her monthly teacher's pension is currently $1,930.
The big shock came when she asked the Social Security Administration about a survivor benefit after her husband, Kenneth, died at age 62 in 2006. A retired college professor, Kenneth was getting a Social Security benefit of $1,406 a month, plus a private pension of $4,000 a month.
Widows and widowers are typically eligible for a Social Security survivor benefit that's 100% of the deceased spouse's benefit. Because of the formula used to calculate the government pension offset, Kohlen was told she would receive nothing when she became eligible for a survivor benefit at age 60.
Kohlen, who lives in San Luis Obispo, Cal., says she and Kenneth had been counting on his Social Security payments. "He paid into Social Security for 49 years, and I feel, as a widow, that I am entitled to that money," she says. "It's just so terribly unfair."
Lawmakers on Capitol Hill have introduced legislation that would end or modify the two provisions. Don't expect any decision soon. These issues will likely be addressed only when Congress takes up the larger issues of Social Security solvency and deficit reduction.
In the meantime, you need to become familiar with the two rules if you ever worked in a job that was not covered by Social Security. While some federal, state and local employees have paid into Social Security, others have not. Most federal employees today are covered by Social Security. Check with your employer or former employer. Also, if your Social Security statement lists $0 for years you worked for a government agency, that's an indication you may be subject to the two rules.
First, let's look at the windfall elimination provision. To understand how the WEP works, you need to know how Social Security calculates benefits. Social Security looks at the average monthly earnings for the years a person paid into the system. Benefits are intended to replace a percentage of a worker's preretirement earnings. Lower-income workers get a larger percentage of their earnings replaced than higher-income workers.
Until the mid 1980s, the Social Security Administration used a formula that treated government employees, who may have contributed into the system for only a few years, as low-wage workers. As a result, public employees received a disproportionately large Social Security benefit -- plus their government pension. In 1983, Congress ended this so-called windfall.
The windfall provision does not apply to government pensioners who paid into the Social Security system for 30 years or longer. Nor does it apply to workers who receive a military pension or a private pension. You can use a WEP calculator at www.socialsecurity.gov to figure your benefit.
As with all Social Security beneficiaries, your WEP-reduced benefit could change based on your age when you claim it. Consider this example: After 20 years of covered earnings, you turn 62 in 2009. Your full monthly benefit at 66 would be $1,372, which is reduced $372 by the windfall provision. If you claim at 62, your benefit would be reduced by 25%, to $750. For each year you delay past 66, you get an 8% delayed-retirement credit until you reach 70.
A government pensioner who applies for a spousal or survivor benefit based on his or her spouse's Social Security earnings record will also face cuts. Typically, a spousal benefit is about 50% of a husband or wife's benefit if that's more than the spouse would receive based on his or her own work record. A survivor generally receives 100% of a deceased spouse's benefit.
But if the government pension offset applies, your Social Security spousal or survivor benefit will be reduced by two-thirds of your government pension.
Let's look at Patricia Kohlen, the retired schoolteacher. The earliest a survivor can apply for a benefit is age 60, six years before full retirement. A survivor benefit is reduced by 28.5% if a widow or widower applies that early. If Kohlen had applied at 60, as she had hoped, the survivor benefit would have been reduced to $1,005, from Kenneth's monthly $1,406 benefit.
Then the GPO would kick in. At the time, Kohlen's teacher pension was a little less than $1,900. Two-thirds of $1,900 is $1,266. Because $1,266 is larger than $1,005, she was not eligible for a Social Security survivor benefit at age 60.
The same goes for spousal benefits. Assume your wife receives a $2,000 Social Security payment each month. You want to take a $1,000 spousal benefit. If your public pension is $1,200, your spousal benefit would be reduced to $200. (That's $1,000 minus $800, which is two-thirds of $1,200.)
EDITOR'S NOTE: This article was originally published in the July 2010 issue of Kiplinger's Retirement Report.
OUR READERWho: Bill Segur, 60Where: Wilmington, N.C.Question: I've finally paid off my mortgage. What should I do with the extra cash?
Now that they've paid off their home loan early, Bill is wondering how he and his wife, Susan, should use the extra $600 a month. Bill is a registered nurse at a hospital and hopes to retire in a few years. He wants to maximize what he and Susan (also an RN) are socking away while they're still working. So their focus is on adding to their savings kitty.
Bill and Susan, 54, figure they have three options. They can increase their contributions to their 403(b) and 401(k) retirement plans, add more to their established traditional IRAs, or start up Roth IRAs. Bill appreciates the tax advantages of a Roth. Although there is no upfront tax break, all withdrawals, including investment earnings, are tax-free once you are 59 1/2 and the account has been open at least five years.
But Bill wonders whether it makes sense for him and Susan to open Roths at their age. "At this late date in our work experiences, do we start new Roth IRAs or add to our traditional accounts?" he asks. The couple have an adequate emergency savings fund and little debt, so they can comfortably bulk up their retirement assets.
Carlo Panaccione, a financial planner in Redwood City, Cal., says that Bill and Susan should pat themselves on the back for paying off their mortgage and committing to put the money toward savings rather than going on a spending spree. "People always say: "If I have money left at the end of the year, I'll save it,'" says Panaccione. "It never happens." Instead, he says, household budgets simply tend to expand whenever a family has money to spare.
Tax advantages. So, to answer Bill's question directly: It's not too late to start a Roth IRA. Because both Bill and Susan are older than 50 and their joint income is less than $167,000, each of them can contribute the maximum $6,000 (including $1,000 in catch-up contributions) to a Roth in 2010.
No matter how long you maintain the retirement account, the tax benefits of a Roth are simply too good to pass up. When you withdraw money from a 401(k) or a regular IRA, it's taxed at your ordinary income-tax rate. With a Roth, you can withdraw cash in retirement without paying Uncle Sam a penny.
And once Bill and Susan retire, they won't need to tap their Roth IRAs right away, given their modest living expenses, their income from workplace retirement plans and Social Security. Because Roths have no required-minimum-distribution rules, you can leave the investments in place as long as you like. "That money can just sit there and cook," says Larry Rosenthal, a financial planner in Manassas, Va. With income-tax rates likely to rise to offset growing budget deficits, the Roth stands out as an increasingly valuable tax shelter. In other words, it's a good way for the couple to diversify their future tax liability.
Roth accounts could also prove helpful to Bill and Susan's estate planning. They can leave the accounts to their two daughters, who would inherit them tax-free.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This article was originally published in the Sept. 2010 issue of Kiplinger's Retirement Report.
If you are in the market for a second home, congratulations! Not only can you look forward to having a place to relax, you also can garner some tax benefits for that place in the mountains or at the beach. You can use several tax breaks:
Mortgage interest. If you use the place as a second home -- rather than renting it out as a business property -- interest on the mortgage is deductible just as interest on the mortgage on your first home is. You can write off 100% of the interest you pay on up to $1.1 million of debt secured by your first and second homes and used to acquire or improve the properties. (That's a total of $1.1 million of debt, not $1.1 million on each home.) The rules that apply if you rent the place out are discussed later. Property taxes. You can deduct property taxes on your second home, too. In fact, unlike the mortgage interest rule, you can deduct property taxes paid on any number of homes you own.
Lots of second-home buyers rent their property part of the year to get others to help pay the bills. Very different tax rules apply depending on the breakdown between personal and rental use. If you rent the place out for 14 or fewer days during the year, you can pocket the cash tax-free. Even if you're charging $10,000 a week, the IRS doesn't want to hear about it. The house is considered a personal residence, so you deduct mortgage interest and property taxes just as you do for your principal home.
Rent for more than 14 days, though, and you must report all rental income. You also get to deduct rental expenses, and that gets complicated because you need to allocate costs between the time the property is used for personal purposes and the time it is rented.
If you and your family use a beach house for 30 days during the year and it's rented for 120 days, 80% (120 divided by 150) of your mortgage interest and property taxes, insurance premiums, utilities and other costs would be rental expenses. The entire amount you pay a property manager would be deductible, too. And you could claim depreciation deductions based on 80% of the value of the house. If a house is worth $200,000 (not counting the value of the land) and you're depreciating 80%, a full year's depreciation deduction would be $5,800. You can always deduct expenses up to the level of rental income you report. But what if costs exceed what you take in? Whether a loss can shelter other income depends on two things: how much you use the property yourself and how high your income is.
If you use the place more than 14 days, or more than 10% of the number of days it is rented -- whichever is more -- it is considered a personal residence and the loss can't be deducted. (But because it is a personal residence, the interest that doesn't count as a rental expense -- 20% in our example -- can be deducted as a personal expense.)
If you limit personal use to 14 days or 10%, the vacation home is considered a business and up to $25,000 in losses might be deductible each year. That's why lots of vacation homeowners hold down leisure use and spend lots of time "maintaining" the property. Fix-up days don't count as personal use. The tax savings from the loss (up to $7,000 a year if you're in the 28% tax bracket) help pay for the vacation home. Unfortunately, holding down personal use means forfeiting the write-off for the portion of mortgage interest that fails to qualify as either a rental or personal-residence expense.
We say such losses might be deductible because real estate losses are considered "passive losses" by the tax law. And, passive losses are generally not deductible. But, there's an exception that might protect you. If your adjusted gross income (AGI) is less than $100,000, up to $25,000 of such losses can be deducted each year to offset income such as your salary. (AGI is basically income before subtracting your exemptions and deductions.) As income rises between $100,000 and $150,000, however, that $25,000 allowance disappears. Passive losses you can't deduct can be stored up and used to offset taxable profit when you ultimately sell the vacation house.
Tax-free profit. Although the rule that allows home owners to take up to $500,000 of profit tax-free applies only to your principal residence, there is a way to extend the break to your second home: make it your principal residence before you sell. That's not as wacky as it might sound. Nor is it as lucrative as it used to be.
Some retirees, for example, are selling the big family home and moving full time into what had been their vacation home. Before 2009, this had a very special tax appeal. Once you live in that home for two years, up to $500,000 of profit could be tax free – including appreciation in value during the years it was your second home. (Any profit attributable to depreciation while you rented the place, though, would be taxable. Depreciation reduces your tax basis in the property and therefore increases profit dollar for dollar.)
Congress cracked down on this break for taxpayers who covert a second home to a principal residence after 2008. A portion of the gain on a subsequent sale of the home is ineligible for the home-sale exclusion of up to $500,000, even if the seller meets the two-year ownership and use tests. The portion of the profit that's subject to tax is based on the ratio of the time after 2008 when the house was a second home or a rental unit to the total time you owned it. This can still be a great deal if you've owned your second home for many years before the law changed.
Let's say you have owned a vacation home for 18 years and make it your main residence in 2011. Two years later, you sell the place. Since the two years after 2008 the place was your second home (2009 and 2010) is 10% of the 20 years you owned the home, only 10% of the gain is taxed. The rest qualifies for the exclusion of up to $500,000.

Read: Brad Richards Isn't Optimistic About Mediation and Is Scared For The Game
According to a tweet from Katie Strang, Brad Richards said that he isn't very optimistic about mediation and he said that right now he is "scared for the game.
Pat Leonard tweets Richards saying that he doesn't see what a mediator will do if the NHL sticks to its word of their previous offer being their last offer.
The full quote, via Leonard, is "Players are very together, all asking real questions, all want to know where it's going. We're scared for the game."

Hurricanes @ Rangers
Madison Square Garden, 7:00 p.m. tonight
Rangers record: 4-3-1
Hurricanes record: 4-4-0
The Rangers look to get back on the winning track tonight
with the first game of a back-to-back (don't worry there are plenty more of
them coming) against the Carolina Hurricanes.
The Rangers got a little too confident with how they'd been
playing and seemed to think they'd coast to victory Wednesday night after Ryan
Callahan scored less than a minute into the game. Though the loss was chalk full of mistakes
and lazy efforts (until the end) Coach John Tortorella admitted that maybe it
wasn't the worst thing in the world. "We
didn't play well enough consistently enough...and we are not good enough to do
that...we didn't deserve to win," he said. Hopefully the 6-4 loss to Atlanta
will serve as a reminder to the Rangers that nothing will come easy for them while
their stars are hurt. The Rangers proved
to themselves that they can win with the team they currently have, but there
will be no coasting and nothing but a mammoth effort will get the job
done. We'll see tonight if the Rangers
got the message.
The other big news from Wednesday night's game is that the
Rangers were saddled with three new injuries. An MRI was negative on Artem Anisimov's ankle, so he should be good to
go. Likewise, Michal Rozsival's hyper
extended left knee won't keep him out of the lineup. But enforcer Derek Boogaard was cut during a
fight with Shawn Thornton on Saturday and the wound is now infected. Boogaard was unable to grip a stick yesterday
and seems unlikely to play tonight.
The Rangers called up Evgeny Grachev from Hartford and he'll play tonight. Grachev was called up a couple times last
season but has yet to play in an NHL game. He struggled during the preseason with the Rangers and is off to a slow
start with Hartford,
with only one goal and one assist in nine games. He had 12 goals and 16 assists in 80 games
last season. The Russian winger has been
slow to adapt to the professional game after bursting onto the scene in the OHL
in 2008, but he remains a big part of the Rangers' future. Grachev is unlikely to get more than a few
minutes of ice time tonight and likely be returned to Hartford by the end of the weekend.
The Rangers undoubtedly regret sending Tim Kennedy to Hartford as he would be
the obvious choice for a fill-in. But
they don't have the option of bringing him up now, as he'd have to clear
re-entry waivers where he'd certainly be claimed and the Rangers would have to
pay half his salary (like what happened with Sean Avery).
If you've paid any attention to the NHL over the last
decade, you know that the Carolina Hurricanes are due for a big year and a
playoff berth after missing the postseason last year. The Hurricanes' alternating pattern of up and
down years is truly remarkable, but this is a very different roster than we're
used to seeing. Gone are mainstays Rod
Brind'Amour and Ray Whitney and a host of other veterans that were staples of
the Hurricanes roster over the last several years. They still have Eric Staal who makes the team
go, but after him it's a relatively unknown team. Jussi Jokinen and Chad LaRose contribute
offensively, and rookie Jeff Skinner has been impressive, but the Hurricanes do
have trouble scoring. The always-tough
Cam Ward is likely to start in net for Carolina,
and he's off to a good start this season. Carolina
is young up front, but on the blue line they have a group of versatile, albeit
recycled, defensemen. Carolina has been weak on special teams, an
area the Rangers will need to exploit.
All eyes will be on Evgeny Grachev tonight, but he's not
likely to have much of an impact on the game. The Rangers looked to be handling their depth situation very well in
lieu of their injuries until Wednesday, and now they appear to be pretty
thin. There's no reason the Rangers
can't win this game at home against a fairly evenly matched team, but they'll
have to outwork the Hurricanes and figure out a way to beat Ward.

|Men's Volleyball Tabbed Fourth in Conference Carolinas Preseason Poll
|Written by Whitney Noble
|Thursday, 10 January 2013 10:34
The Lees-McRae College men's volleyball team is tabbed to finish fourth in the race for the 2013 Conference Carolinas regular season championship,
announced league officials Wednesday. Lees-McRae is primed for a strong season under the direction of third-year head coach James Goodridge, returning all six starters from last spring's squad which posted an 11-10 overall record and a 5-5- mark in league play. Juniors John Lucas (Cincinnati, Ohio) and Matt Harpenau (Cincinnati, Ohio) return to lead the Bobcats, a season removed from pacing the squad with a combined 4.71 kills per set.

BUZZ: Mike Sullivan Is Staying Put
At Newsday, Arthur Staple writes that the Rangers haven't been asked permission by anyone to interview Mike Sullivan for a head coaching job.
Sullivan was Head Coach of the Bruins for two seasons. In 2003-04 he led them to first in the Northeast Division 41-19-15-7 record and a first round playoff exit. In 2005-06 he was fired after the Bruins finished in fifth place with a 29-37-16 record.
I didn't even consider that Sullivan wouldn't be back or that he would be a candidate for another teams opening. That isn't a knock on Sullivan, but he was never mentioned as a candidate for any of the jobs. I think that he is a smart coach and will get another head coaching chance at some point.
Sullivan will help at the USA Hockey World Juniors camp.
Capitals fans spilled ice on Sullivan during the Rangers first round playoff series.
In other coaching news, the Columbus Dispatch says that Ken Hitchcock may become an assistant coach with the Red Wings.

|Zupcic To Have Knee Surgery
|Written by Staff Reports
|Tuesday, 12 June 2012 09:15
Rising senior Tyler Zupcic of the Appalachian State University baseball team will have surgery this week to repair for a torn postier cruciate ligament in his knee. The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is described as the primary stabilizer of the knee. PCL injuries are less common than anterior
cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, and they often go unrecognized. The PCL is broader and stronger than the ACL; injury often occurs when force is applied to the anterior aspect of the proximal tibia (the top of the leg, or the flat top of the shin bone) when the knee is flexed. A PCL tear can result in varying degrees of disability, from no impairment to severe impairment.

Read: Remembering That The NHL and NHLPA are Supposed To Be Partners
At Sportsnet, John Shannon writes that it is long overdue for the NHL and NHLPA to resolve their differences and put their energy into a partnership that would actually grow the game and create more revenue.
The business side of the NHL, he writes, is truly suffering from all of the fighting that has taken place.
Shannon writes, "The players have to stop calling out the commissioner. The owners have to stop throwing anonymous barbs the way of the union. Plain and simple, it is not in the best interest of the business of the NHL. "
This is not the first time that talk of needing a partnership between the league and players has been brought up.
Shannon said on Sportsnet, Sunday morning, that the two sides will need to be partners and how the two sides will make decisions together on re-alignment, health and safety and international play.
The CBA deal that was agreed to this morning is for 10 years with an opt-out after eight.

Submission Watchdog "not ready" to probe cookie complaints - a year after law came in->
nk497 writes: "The UK data watchdog has admitted it doesn't have any staff investigating cookie consent complaints, more than a year after the law came in via an EU directive. The regulation requires websites to ask before dropping cookies and other tracking devices onto users' computers, and came into law in May 2011. The Information Commissioner's Office gave websites a year's grace period to update their websites, but failed to use that time to get its team together, meaning the 320 reports of sites not in compliance it's already received haven't been investigated at all."

The Price City Desert Wave Pool will be experiencing low wave action for the next few months after a crucial piece of the wave-making system broke last week.
One of the blowers, a key part in the complex wave generation system, cracked and broke sometime last week, according to Tamara Gray, facilities manager with Price City. The age of the current system in place is thought to be one of the reasons for the failure.
As a result, waves created in the pool will be smaller than what can be produced when the system is running at full strength, Gray said.
The topic is listed on the agenda as an emergency purchase for the Price City Council to look at during their meeting on Wednesday evening. The approximate cost for the new blower to be purchased, built and installed could cost up to $32,000, according to Bret Cammans, Price City customer service manager. The new part is listed as being an emergency purchase due to it not being included within the city's budget, Cammans said.
If the new purchase of a new blower is approved by the city council, the time line to build the new part and have it put into operation could be anywhere between two to three months, Gray explained.
With the holiday season in full swing, activities at the pool will continue on as normal, Gray said. Upcoming activities include the Swim with Santa on Dec. 8 that runs from Noon to 8 p.m.
