Re: heavy lifting?
OP--You realize you are about to be in the United States Army right? The most superior ground-fighting force in the world, the single-most dominant Army known to mankind? Expect to lift a lot of weight, run a lot, sweat a lot, exercise a lot, and since you're 13-series, be around lot of BOOM-BOOM cannons a LOT. There is no one paper, commercial, recruiter, or pamphlet you can read that can tell you EXACTLY what your MOS is going to be like. It's not just a 9-5 job, it's a lifestyle. Get right in the head and more importantly, get right in your heart before you strap up your boots and ship out. Often times, a positive attitude is all you need. Trust in the system, trust in your senior leadership, trust in your fellow soldiers, and trust in YOURSELF. The more you overthink all of this, the more you're going to psyche yourself out. You don't go up to bat in a baseball game trying to analyze the next pitch by curvature, velocity, speed, twist, height, etc. You just do it by feel! You'll be alright MAN!

Re: heavy lifting?
What the SGT is trying to say is, you will often be tasked with Infantry soldiers even though you are not an infantry soldier. Every soldier is a basically trained foot-soldier first and then proficient in their assigned job second. There will be times when you won't be doing your specific job but supplementing other infantry soldiers.
Re: heavy lifting?
Originally posted by SGT Juggernaut View PostExactly as the statement reads. If attached at company level you will be tasked out to a platoon and serve as the platoon forward observer. You will eat, sleep, run, ruck and sweat next to a 11B. Again, what has you worried? You mentioned above that the list of things you needed to be able to do was a long list. Really it is not a long list at all and is only showing the bare minimum requirements.

Fact #451 about life: artists can be pretentious. Whether it's a blank canvas punctuated by a single fat black line (like a five-year old painted it), two huge rectangles of color "juxtaposed to give the fullest effect" (what?) or half-drunken "artists" standing on ladders dribbling paint blotches onto sheets stretched across the floor (seriously, look it up), the art scene is home to totally bizarre activities and projects that make little sense to the average dude. At least the Arty wallet from RVCA bucks the trend set by trendsetters by delivering a solidly designed wallet that pairs well with almost any outfit thanks to its carbon fiber-inspired exterior. This wallet also does one other thing of which most artists can only dream — carry fat stacks of cash.

Man convicted for intentionally hitting dog walker with truck
EUGENE, Ore. - A man accused of intentionally hitting a dogwalker with a truck in March was convicted Thursday for attempted murder, animal abuse and assault.
Fransisco Ochoa surrendered to police at the Federal Building in Eugene on Monday, March 19, nearly five days after he intentionally hit his wife's fitness instructor while the man was walking his dog.
Police told KVAL News after the crash that investigators believe Ochoa intentionally drove up on the curb near Gay Street and the male pedestrian and his dog.
The dog died at the scene. The victim was taken to Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend with non-life threatening injuries.
The Lane County Jury acquitted Ochoa on another attempted murder charge for crashing his pickup into his wife's car around the same time.
Ochoa is scheduled to be sentenced next Wednesday.

Several people face possible life sentences in prison and multimillion dollar fines after admitting in federal courts last week that they participated in a large-scale cocaine and ecstasy smuggling operation through the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation.
April Burns, Elizabeth VanGuilder and John French pleaded guilty Wednesday in U.S. District Court, Albany, to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute a controlled substance, while Allan G. Jacco and Melissa Arquette pleaded guilty to the same crime Thursday in federal court in Plattsburgh. Federal court documents by policy redact the ages and addresses of criminal defendants. According to plea agreements filed with the courts, Ms. Burns, Mr. Jacco and Ms. Arquette face a maximum sentence of life in prison, although sentencing will be at the discretion of the court.
Ms. Burns and Ms. Arquette face a minimum sentence of 10 years and a fine of up to $10 million, while Mr. Jacco faces a minimum sentence of 20 years, with a fine of up to $20 million. Mr. French faces a maximum sentence of 40 years and Ms. VanGuilder faces a potential 20-year term. Daisy Realza and Dallas George had previously pleaded guilty to the conspiracy charge and are awaiting sentencing, with both possibly receiving life terms. Dontanion S. Grimes pleaded guilty in September 2011 and was sentenced May 24 to 6� years in prison. Charges against Thomas Scovil remain pending.
According to court documents, Ms. Realza acted as the leader and organizer of the operation that brought ecstasy south across the St. Lawrence River from Cornwall, Ontario, for distribution by wholesale narcotics dealers in New York City and Boston. The organization exchanged the ecstasy for cocaine and cash in the two cities, with the drugs and money then being smuggled back into Canada.
According to Ms. Realzas plea agreement, between 2009 and March 2012, she directed the transportation of ecstasy several times a month, with each trip, on average, typically delivering about 50,000 ecstasy tablets to the wholesale dealers and returning with several kilograms of cocaine wrapped in bricks and destined for Montreal. For every load of ecstasy, Ms. Realza received at least $1,000 to $1,500 in payment. She also received additional money for every kilogram of cocaine delivered her ecstasy source in Montreal.
On Feb. 15, 2011, state troopers seized about $12,500 in cash from a vehicle driven by Mr. French. At the time, Mr. French was working for Ms. Realza and had just delivered a load of ecstasy to Yonkers. On March 5, 2011, troopers seized about 53 pounds of ecstasy from a vehicle operated by Mr. Grimes, who was also transporting the load to Yonkers. According to court documents, all of the other defendants acted as couriers for Ms. Realza.
Ms. Realza and Mr. George are due to be sentenced Nov. 4 in Albany, while the remaining defendants are all due to be sentenced in December.

Cooking up a traditional dish can be made easy when you've got the right cookware working for you on the back line. An excellent way, if not an essential one, to sizzle up some scrumptious Asian cuisine is to use commercial woks in the kitchen. Commercial woks are ideal for stir frying and pan frying, but the range of cooking techniques that can be incorporated when using a wok is pretty impressive. From braising, boiling, and searing to poaching, smoking, and even soup making, commercial woks – in capable hands – can be your go-to piece of cookware both in the at-home and commercial kitchen.

14-year-old Christina Renee Royal of Ronda died early yesterday morning when a car she was riding in lost control on U.S. 321 approximately 10 miles northwest of Boone.Royal was seated in the lap of an unknown male. Neither the driver, 18-year-old Tiffany Absher, or the victim were wearing seatbelts. When Absher lost control of the trail blazer, it ejected Royal and the unknown male, who then fled the scene. The vehicle then rolled over Royal, killing her, according to Highway Patrol. Other passengers in the vehicle were 14-year-old John Railing and 16-year-old William Hugh Frye. Highway Patrol knows the identity of the white male, who was apparently uninjured. According to statements from Highway Patrol, the individual is believed to have been under house arrest.

Michael James Haynes. . .Patriots' No. 1 draft pick, first defensive back selected overall, 1976. . .Sensational rookie season with eight interceptions, AFC-high 608 punt return yards. . .Career stats: 46 interceptions for 688 yards, two TDs; 112 punt returns for 1,168 yards, two TDs. . .Started, intercepted pass, Super Bowl XVIII. . .Selected to nine Pro Bowls. . .All-Pro four times. . .All-AFC eight times. . .Born July 1, 1953, in Denison, Texas.
Mike Haynes, a three-year All-WAC star at Arizona State, was the New England Patriots' first selection in the 1976 NFL Draft. The 6-2, 192-pound Haynes was the fifth player and the first defensive back taken in that year's draft.
Haynes relied on his speed, quickness and range to become both a premier defensive back and an outstanding punt return specialist. He enjoyed a sensational rookie year with the Patriots with eight interceptions and an AFC-leading 608 yards on 45 punt returns. That year, Haynes gave the Patriots their first-ever touchdowns on punt returns with 89-yard and 62-yard returns. He earned a Pro Bowl invitation as a rookie, the first of nine Pro Bowl bids.
Haynes, who was born on July 1, 1953, in Denison, Texas, recorded 28 interceptions and 1,159 yards on 111 returns, a 10.4-yard average during his seven years with the Patriots. He started his career with 58 consecutive starts before being sidelined with a rib injury late in 1979.
Haynes played out his option with the Patriots in 1982 and in November, 1983, his contract was awarded to the Los Angeles Raiders in a settlement that gave the Patriots a No. 1 draft choice in 1984 and a No. 2 pick in 1985. Haynes played the last five games in 1983 and then started and had one interception in the Raiders' Super Bowl XVIII victory.
In seven seasons with the Raiders, Haynes returned only one punt but he added 18 interceptions to give him a career total of 46 which were returned for 688 yards and two touchdowns, including a team-record 97-yard return against Miami in 1984. Haynes was an All-Pro choice in 1977, 1978, 1982, 1984 and 1985 and an All-AFC pick eight times.

Clippers 111, Denver 109
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Wed, 04/05/06, 09:22am:
Last night's game was a ballsy win against a team we may have to face in the first round on the playoffs. With our starting shooting guard a cipher on the floor, our best defender limited to 20 minutes or fewer, and a center who racked up as many turnovers as field goals, the Clips were able to overcome a 22-point deficit - 20 at the half - to beat a Denver team that didn't miss a shot until 3:16 in the first quarter. Consider that for a sec: Denver scored 29 points before they missed a shot from the field. And this wasn't the typical blueprint of spreading the floor against the Clips and swinging it to the open man. The Nuggets executed in the break; they worked the back door by having Camby pull Kaman outside...or just had Camby put it up from 15 feet (Marcus went 9-9 from the floor in the first half); Denver hit contested jumpers; they beat the Clippers off the dribble.
In other words, the first half was an equal opportunity ass-kicking. Denver threw a variety of offensive looks on the floor and the Clippers recognized none of them. Throw 17 fast break points in the mix and you've got yourself a certified blowout.
So how did the Clips respond?
Dunleavy, like vitually every coach in the Association, takes a lot of flak for his rotations. But after watching the Clippers - a team that's fourth in the league in opponents' FG % -- allow Denver to hit a record 81.6% of their shots, Dunleavy made the smart decision to start Livingston and Ross, with Vlad, Brand and Kaman in the second half.
At the risk of sounding redundant, I'll say it again: The Clippers are a better team when Quentin Ross is on the floor.
Let's take a look at the Clippers' third quarter defensive series:
- The Nuggets swing it around the perimeter and get it to 'Melo in the corner where he likes to take his defender baseline. But Ross is on him like glue. With the shot clock down to :06, 'Melo finds an open Greg Buckner on the far weak side and Buckner heaves up a 24-footer and misses badly. Livingston was a little late to the spot, but all in all, a gritty half-court defensive stand for the Clips.
- In transition, Miller drives the lane, but is contested the whole way by a lanky Shaun. Miller tries to dish it off to Elson, but Elson wasn't expecting the pass and it went right through his hands. Denver Turnover.
- After a steal, Denver takes it out on the break again. This time, Buckner has his layup blocked by Q. Ross. Kaman deserves a defensive assist for cutting off Buckner's left.
- Q. Ross gets whistled for an off-the-ball foul on 'Melo, who is already getting frustrated. Ross is bumping him, smothering him, pushing him off his spot. It's Bowen-esque. Later in the possession, Camby maneuvers on the weak side to an open spot at 16 feet. Brand meets him there, but he takes Elton off the dribble, drives to hole and gets fouled. Camby sinks 1 of 2 from the line.
- On the break, the Nuggets have numbers. Anthony gets it into the hands of Miller, who slams into a set Quentin Ross. Offensive foul.
- The Nuggets run a high on-ball screen for Camby who collects the ball off the pick, drives and misses his first shot of the night - an awkward 10-foot runner. Who met him at the point of release? Q. Ross.
- The Clippers suffer their first defensive lapse of the second half in allowing Denver to get out in transition off a made free throw. Camby, who handles the ball pretty well, gets it to Buckner who has beautifully positioned himself on the break between Vlad and the basket. An easy two.
- An inert half-court set for the Nuggets results in 'Melo being tripled-teamed under the basket. Brand blocks his shot and we go the other way.
- In the half-court again, the Nuggets get the ball into 'Melo's hands early in the set out on the perimeter. He stutters, tries to shake Ross, but afforded nothing from Q, 'Melo settles for a contested 22-footer that isn't close.
- Kaman turns the ball over, but the Clippers recover nicely in transition. Before Camby can go up for the layup, he's stripped by Brand. The Nuggets reset and get it to Camby at his spot but, again, he's stripped by Brand.
- One of the prettiest defensive sets of the night. Miller brings the ball down, eager to get it into 'Melo at the high post. But 'Melo can establish absolutely no position against Ross. Nothing. Option #2 at :12 is to swing it tentatively around the perimeter. The ball ends up in the hands of Buckner on the wing at :07; he drives but with no daylight between himself and the hoop, he delivers the ball weak side to...Frankie Muniz sitting courtside. Blogospherics: This is your Clipperblog Defensive Hold of the Night.
- This is what happens when your offensive game is shaken. By all accounts, Denver should be out in transition off the Brand miss. But they're flummoxed, so Howard Eisley slows it up. The Clippers have sniffed out that high pick-and-roll for 'Melo, so Eisley delivers the ball to Camby at 15 feet, where he went 9-9 in the first half. This one is a brick.
The Nuggets are getting nothing at the offensive end. Not a look. Midway through the quarter and they have one field goal. The Clippers' defensive performance here is reminiscent of the second half of the NOK game. Schematically, the Clippers are doing it with man.
- Out of the time out, Denver gets it to 'Melo on the wing, where he draws the foul on Q. It's only the second team foul. Eisley penetrates, kicks it out to Buckner on the arc and he hits from 24 feet. Despite the Buckner make, the Clips played solid defense. Vlad contested Buckner, who hit the shot in motion, somewhat off-balanced. It happens.
- Denver gets it to 'Melo - this time on the left wing. Ross knows that 'Melo loves to go baseline, so he cuts off 'Melo's left. Melo shakes right, but is met by Kaman who contests his wild 19-footer that doesn't draw rim.
- Camby frees himself up at the foul line, fakes out Kaman, and misses a shot he's hit at least five times tonight.
- Finding nothing inside and with 'Melo blanketed by Q on the wing, the Nuggets kick it out to Buckner on the arc. Vlad is able to get there in time and Buckner's three isn't close.
- With their lead cut to five, the Nuggets come down, get it to 'Melo on the wing. He then finds a wide-open Eisley at the top of the arc. With no Clipper within five feet, Eisley drains the three, only his sixth of the season.
- 'Melo being 'Melo. He starts on the right wing, and even though Q forces him baseline (not that 'Melo doesn't have the best baseline drive in the league) and into a waiting Chris Kaman, 'Melo makes a double-clutching, insane layup on his way down. Props. He's a freaky player; that's what freaky players do.
- The Nuggets are able to push the perimeter in to about 15 feet. The ball goes into 'Melo who swings it up top to Patterson, who finds K-Mart open from 16 feet. This is the first instance in the quarter where the Clips appeared lost on the rotation. The culprit? Walter McCarty. After Waltah came over to double Anthony on the left wing, for some reason he stepped out on Eisley before realizing that he had to spell Elton underneath on Camby so that Elton could step out on K-Mart. Ugly defensive sequence all around. Vlad still appears a little lost at times, which is a shame because guys with size and quickness should be an asset in a half-court defensive set where there's a lot of ball movement.
- The Nuggets run the same set they've been running most of the game - but on this series, Vlad wins the camper-of-the-week award, denying an entry pass to K-Mart at the foul line with his long arms and forcing the ball back out to Eisley with :08 on the shot clock. Patterson then tries to take Vlad off the dribble, but then kicks it out to Camby who misses yet another one of those 18-foot jumpers he'd been nailing throughout the first half.
- A cheap foul called on Cassell against a driving Eisley way out on the wing. Eisley hits his free throws.
- Denver gets it to Anthony at the top of the key against Q. 'Melo tries to fake out Q, but ultimately stumbles; the ball squirts out, Ross collects it.
- The Clippers botch the break and now the Nuggets have it on the break. They get it to 'Melo in the open floor with only Zeke between him and the basket. He draws the foul and hits his free throws.
- The last Denver possession of the quarter. Dunleavy brings in McCarty to cover 'Melo. Anthony holds the ball out on the perimeter, then shuffles a quick dribble fake and heaves it up from 25-feet. Not even close.
There's your quarter. The Clippers cut a 20-point deficit to 5. Denver scored 16 points in the period on 5-14 from the field. With the exception of the final series, Quentin Ross played the entire quarter, with Livingston at the point. Not to denigrate Cassell, but having competent backcourt defenders makes life a lot easier on Chris Kaman. It allows Brand to patrol the opponents' sweet spots on the court, Kirilenko-style, for blocks and forces opponents to change their shots.
So far as I'm concerned, Kaman is still mired in a slump. Camby had his way with him throughout the first half, exploiting one of the worst facets of Chris's game -- namely knowing where the hell he should be on a basketball court when his man drifts off the low block. And the turnovers are starting to become a real problem. If Chris is going to get a considerable number of touches in the post, he can't be turning the ball over 6 times a game. And if your turnover number matches your field goal number - as it did last night - that's not helping your team win basketball games.
We'll do more on Kaman on an off-day. Hollinger thinks he's vastly overrated, an estimation based largely on those turnover numbers and a little less so on Chris's defensive efficiency numbers. I think the intangible value of having a ambidextrous big man in the pivot is enormous, but I'm starting to wonder if Hollinger doesn't have a point. The larger question, I guess, is - is there a pattern that suggests that big men can "learn" how not to turn the ball over the way, say, a hitter can learn to cut down on his strikeouts or a pitcher can learn to cut down on his walks?

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- At 12:01 Saturday morning, same sex couples were allowed to get married in Maine. By 12:20am, Steven Bridges and Michael Snell of Portland became the first gay couple to tie the knot.
Bridges and Snell say they decided on Christmas to get married on Saturday. The only people they told ahead of time were Michael's two daughters, Carolyn and Katie, who served as their witnesses. They also didn't intend to be the first couple in Maine to be married, but they ended up being first in line at Portland City Hall.
"It's very surreal still," says Snell. "We didn't expect all the cameras and everything tonight." Bridges adds, "We finally feel equal and happy to live in Maine."
A huge crowd was outside Portland City Hall to greet the happy couple as they left. A group of muscians led everyone in a rendition of the song, "All you Need is Love," by the Beatles.
Doors at the City Hall closed at 3am on Saturday. 15 marriage licenses were issued, and 7 couples tied the knot on the spot. The next opportunity for same-sex couples to get married at City Hall in Portland is December 31.
Bangor, Brewer, Brunswick, and Augusta opened their doors later in the morning on December 29, to join the state of Maine in issuing marriage licenses to same sex couples.

Approximately one-third of cancer patients seek out complementary and alternative medicine. There are no proven cures for cancer in alternative medicine, but there are therapies that are proven to help with symptoms and side effects. I encourage people to use the best of both worlds — evidence-based treatments within conventional medicine as well as complementary medicine.
The complementary medicine treatments with the best evidence and fewest risks are the mind-body therapies and acupuncture. However, herbal medicines and vitamins should not be used without a physician's guidance since they can interact with chemotherapy.
There are many types of mind-body therapies including yoga, tai chi, meditation, breathing exercises, guided imagery, relaxation training, prayer, music therapy and hypnosis. Many of these have been shown in clinical studies to help reduce stress and fatigue, improve the immune system, and help with sleep and mood. We offer many classes such as yoga, mindfulness meditation, guided imagery and diaphragmatic breathing to help people explore these techniques.

Temps are rising as summer approaches but many skiers aren't ready to store their boards yet. Well, you don't have to. Winter is playing an encore, pounding the western states with fresh powder while several resorts in the Rockies and out East are still powering lifts. Many resorts close this Sunday, April 15 but some are offering discounted or even free lift tickets on their last day. Here's a list of late season deals and resorts that plan to stay open even later into the spring.
THE LAB: With a summit elevation of 11,053 feet, Mammoth Mountain is the highest ski area in the Sierras.
Is this the start of a banner year or what? Colorado's Arapahoe Basin opened last week, earlier than it ever has, and Loveland had its earliest season opening in 40 years. Even Las Vegas's local hill opened a full seven weeks ahead of schedule.

CUMBERLAND — It certainly looked as if improved Tolman High, which rolled into Cumberland's Wellness Center late Wednesday afternoon with five victories in its previous seven tilts, would make it six-of-eight.
The Tigers also seemed destined to eke out a two- or three-point triumph over the Clippers, but head coach Gary Reedy's crew had other plans.
With Tolman up, 61-60, and only nine ticks left on the scoreboard clock, senior center Jon Percy went to the charity stripe for a one-and-one. A free throw would virtually seal a win, but Percy missed, and senior guard Tom Lazaras ended up with the ball. He streaked down the right sideline, then fed classmate/center Dylan Boisclair stationed under the hoop.
The wide-open Clipper calmly laid it in at the buzzer, and he and his teammates immediately went ballistic, celebrating a wildly-entertaining, 62-61 Division II crossover triumph before perhaps 100 fans on their home floor.
While the two squads lined up for the traditional post-game handshakes, Tigers' senior captain Mamour Samb protested that the scoreboard operator had hesitated to sound the horn before Boisclair's pivotal bucket.
What ensued was a minor altercation, though Reedy and Tolman mentor Mike Kayata shook hands by the scorers' table, then ordered their respective players to distant locker rooms.
With the victory, Cumberland improved to 15-2 overall and 10-2 in league action. The Tigers dropped to 6-9 overall and 5-7 in II-Central.
Lazaras paced the hosts with a team-leading 22 points, while Boisclair notched 12 of his 16 points in the opening session, and senior swing Ben Bradley posted the same amount.
Samb produced 23, 16 of those coming in the second half, while sophomore guard Steven Otis mustered 19 and Percy 11.
All seemed lost for Cumberland when senior co-captain Rob Reedy's runner in the lane dripped out of the basket, and senior Greg Joubert quickly fouled Percy under the net.
But then came the miss, Lazaras' quick reaction and the pass to Boisclair.
The Tigers had entered the final stanza ahead, 30-26, and held on to the lead early on, but the Clippers fought back to tie it twice more. Samb's trey with 10:53 left to give the visitors a 43-40 cushion, though Cumberland manufactured a 15-5 flurry over the next 4:20 to grab a 55-48 advantage.
The rally started with Bosiclair's short jumper and Lazaras three-pointer, and ended with a Lazaras feed to Joubert for the layup at the 6:33 mark that gave Cumberland the seven-point lead.
As it had previously, Tolman fought back again, though Boisvert's 12-footer with 2:43 remaining pushed the advantage to 58-54. Sophomore guard Alex Lopez landed a scoop and was fouled, but failed to convert the conventional three-point play, and Bradley followed with a baseline hook to make it 60-56.
Samb netted a scoop layin at the 2:19 mark, then dropped a three-point bomb with 93 seconds left to give Tolman the lead at 61-60.
Actually, the Tigers surrendered an early 14-8 lead to Cumberland, but tightened their defense and found its scoring touch to create a 17-5 run midway through the initial half. All told, Otis netted three of his five treys in that span, and his last delivered to Tolman a 25-19 advantage with 3:51 left before the break.
The Clippers then surged, scoring seven straight points on a Boisclair baseline 10-footer, then a baseline hook and a Lazaras three-pointer to go up, 26-25, with 56 ticks remaining.
But Samb hit two foul shots with 19 ticks on the clock, then a three-pointer with two left to give the Tigers a 30-26 lead.
Surprisingly, Tolman finished with 23 turnovers (11 in the first half), but still kept it close. Cumberland finished with 14, but sealed the verdict in dramatic fashion.

ORONO, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- Mechanical Engineering Technology students at U Maine have been working on a project for the entire school year, and today they unveiled the kinetic sculptures that they have been working on.
Engineering student Jeff Soreide and his teammates worked on their kinetic sculpture for most of the academic year. After today their sculpture will be going to the Bangor Discovery Museum.
"It's all about getting the kids involved and interested in science. Interested in engineering. We're really trying to bring the younger crowd in, kids that might not necessarily be interested in science and engineering. We wanna attract those kids in and say hey science can be fun and interesting," Soreide said.
But there was a little competition too. The eight teams that participated were judged in several areas including aesthetics and durability. Some of the judges were kids, who voted for which sculpture they liked best. Soreide thinks his team had the kids vote locked up.
"The Newton's Cradle is really kind of interesting, there's a lot of science in that. It's conservation of energy. A ball come down, hits the ball, ball swings out, hits and it goes down a loopty loop," Soreide said.
These projects are not a typical weekend science project. Soreide and his teammates said they spent a couple thousand hours working on their project.
"We spent at least 2,400 hours just in building and testing. There was on three week period where we put in close to 1,000 hours of those hours," Soreide said.
Soreide and his teammates won today's competition and their reward for winning is an automatic A for their cap stone course.

More Americans are delaying retirement, and that means more people are collecting both Social Security and a paycheck. That can bring unexpected financial repercussions: a bigger-than-expected tax bill and reduced benefits.
It's a situation that more people will be facing: The proportion of people aged 65 to 69 in the workforce jumped to 31% in 2010, up from 22% in 1990. Among those aged 70 to 74, the labor force participation rate increased to 21% from 17%, and for those aged 75 and older it rose to 9% from 8%, according to a U.S. Census report in January. Read the Census report.
Big tax bills can devastate your retirement savings. MarketWatch's Robert Powell and Andrea Coombes talk about strategies to employ before and during retirement to lower your taxes.

MarketWatch Retirement
RetireMentors: In-the-trenches advice
Ways to boost Social Security payout
Retire here, not there: California
10 things your 401(k) plan won't tell you
A paycheck from work can mean a portion of your Social Security benefits get taxed. If your financial situation is just right—or, more accurately, just wrong—the fact that some of your Social Security benefits are counted as taxable income can push you into a higher tax bracket unexpectedly.
How benefits are taxed
Let's back up. Anything that counts as part of your adjusted gross income on the first page of your Form 1040 goes into the calculation of "combined income" to determine whether your Social Security benefits are taxable. That includes IRA distributions and earnings from work.
You also must include municipal bond interest and one-half of Social Security benefits.
If you're single and your combined income is between $25,000 and $34,000, you'll owe tax on up to 50% of your Social Security benefits. Same goes for a married couple with combined income between $32,000 and $44,000. If your combined income, as defined above, is below the lower levels, your benefits aren't taxable.
"If all of the income in the income column of your 1040, plus one half of your Social Security, plus your municipal bond interest totals more than those thresholds, you are going to pay taxes on part of your Social Security," said Andy Landis, owner of Seattle-based Thinking Retirement, an education and consulting firm, and author of "Social Security: The Inside Story."
Worst-case scenario: If you're single with income over $34,000 or married with income over $44,000, 85% of your Social Security benefits are taxable.
"That does not mean they're going to take away 85% of your Social Security, just that 85% is going to be in the taxable column," Landis said.
Keep in mind, you're still making money. "I'll always take additional income, even if it's taxable," Landis said.
If you have some control of your income, you can minimize the tax hit by, for example, delaying an IRA distribution from December to January. "It's a matter of being conscious of any income you can control, which is mostly your IRA withdrawals. Is there a way you could time those to avoid triggering the threshold?" Landis said.
A good reason to delay
If you haven't yet claimed Social Security, consider this: Taxes might be another reason it pays to wait. Some researchers say the best strategy is to tap savings early in retirement and delay Social Security benefits until full retirement age or later—ideally age 70 if you expect to live an average life expectancy or longer.
That can decrease your overall retirement tax bill. Once you start Social Security at a substantially higher benefit amount (monthly benefit amounts rise the longer you wait, up until age 70), you reduce the amount you need to pull from your investment portfolio.
The less you pull from tax-deferred accounts as you collect benefits, the less likely your Social Security benefits will be taxed.
"In some cases, delaying benefits can add more than 10 years of longevity" to a retirement portfolio, wrote William Meyer and William Reichenstein in a paper published in the April 2012 edition of the Journal of Financial Planning. Meyer is founder of SocialSecuritySolutions.com. Reichenstein, a professor at Baylor University, is a principal at the firm and oversees research.

Watertown accountant Jerry R. Gardner said Thursday that he has no plans to match or better the $350,000 offer that Hospice Foundation of Jefferson County Inc. has received for its Washington Street property.
Mr. Gardner, whose company, N&G Rentals LLC, had a contract with the foundation to purchase the property for $150,000, said in an email that the new offer submitted by Watertown businessman Brian H. Murray is a great deal for the foundation, but much higher than the propertys value to him for use as an accounting office.
Im glad that Hospice got such a good offer. Good for them, Mr. Gardner said.
The foundation, which provides financial support to Hospice of Jefferson County, had marketed the property at 425 Washington St. for about a year with no takers before Mr. Gardner entered his offer. The sale to Mr. Gardner was slated to close Dec. 6, but real estate developer P.J. Simao, who has helped the foundation raise hundreds of thousands of dollars, objected to the transaction, contending among other issues that the proposed sale price was less than half what a state-certified real estate appraiser said the property was worth.
A 2011 appraisal set the propertys value at $365,000, while the city has assessed the tax-exempt property at $335,400 and estimates its full market value at $376,000. A second certified appraiser, who did not conduct a full appraisal of it, offered the opinion that the property was worth $150,000 because it needs $150,000 in upgrades and renovations to become suitable as a professional office.
Amid questions over the propertys value and how much the foundation could possibly expect to realize from its sale, Mr. Gardner agreed to step aside and give the foundation more time to market it. The agreement gave the foundation six additional months to seek a higher offer, with Mr. Gardner retaining the right of first refusal to match or top any offers, which he has chosen not to do.
Mr. Murray owns several properties within the city, including the Lincoln Building, 89-99 Public Square.
Hospice will use proceeds from the sale to defray construction costs of its eight-bed residence, including office space, at 1398 Gotham St.

Report Information
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgates national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) on the basis of scientific information contained in integrated science assessments (ISAs), formerly known as air quality criteria documents (AQCDs). The ISA is a concise review, synthesis, and evaluation of the most policy-relevant science, and it communicates critical science judgments relevant to the NAAQS review. The most recent ISA for carbon monoxide (CO) was completed in 2010, and is available under related links (below).
In 1991, EPA released a revised criteria document for CO which reviewed the latest evidence available at the time regarding sources, atmospheric chemistry, population exposure, dosimetry, pharmacokinetics, and health effects of CO, including effects in susceptible populations. This document was revised and updated in 2000. The 2000 CO AQCD is available under related links (below).

The first seatbelt enforcement blitz of the year will take place from May 24 to June 6 as part of the Utah Department of Public Safety's buckled or busted campaign.
In support of the campaign, Utah Highway Patrol troopers will saturate Carbon County roadways and cite motor vehicle travelers who are not wearing seatbelts during the selective enforcement period.
According to UHP Trooper Dave Brinkerhoff, special attention will be paid to younger drivers who are not wearing seatbelts, especially surrounding the heavily traveled Memorial Day holiday.
Drivers ages 16 to 24 years old represent the highest risk of all motor vehicle travelers, indicates the Utah Highway Safety Office.
Every minute, a crash involving a teenage driver occurs in Utah. Additionally, teenagers represent 7.9 percent of licensed drivers in Utah, yet the youth were involved in approximately one-fourth or 28.7 percent of all motor vehicle crashes in the state.
Approximately one out of five crashes in Utah involved a teenage driver.
"In 2002, Utah could have saved more than $6.6 million if all unbelted drivers and passengers were buckled up during motor vehicle crashes," pointed out Brinkerhoff. "Unfortunately, in the event of a motor vehicle fatality, the price of precious lives cannot be calculated.
Utah's seatbelt law requires all passengers and drivers to buckle up when traveling in a motor vehicle.
In addition, Utah's safety restraint law states that youngsters up to 5 years old must ride in a child safety seat. Under the state statute, youth ages 5 to 19 must ride in a child safety seat or be restrained by a seatbelt.
According to Brinkerhoff, law enforcement officers will be issuing citations statewide to people who do not adhere to the statutory guidelines.
"One of the main goals of the buckled or busted campaign is to increase Utah's seatbelt usage rate to 90 percent by 2005," commented the UHP trooper.
Since the buckle up law enforcement campaign was launched in 2001, the state safety office asserts that seatbelt usage has increased 17.8 percent to reach the current compliance rate of 85.2 percent.
"We are pleased to see that more Utahns are buckling up," state Brinkerhoff. "We hope these enforcement mobilizations will help encourage our part-time users and non-users to wear their seat belts regularly when traveling in a motor vehicle."
The next 2004 statewide seatbelt mobilization effort will take place during the Thanksgiving holiday from Nov. 22 to Nov. 27, concluded the local Utah Highway Patrol trooper.

Submission Amazon's Merchandising of Its Search Results Doesn't Violate Trademark Law->
concealment writes: "Many of us have had the experience of going to Amazon to buy one thing but checking out with a huge shopping cart of items that we didn't initially seek—or even know were available. Amazon's merchandising often benefits Amazon's customers, but trademark owners who lose sales to their competition due to it aren't as thrilled. Fortunately for Amazon, a California federal court recently upheld Amazon's merchandising practices in its internal search results."
