The relevance of FAK in regulating adhesion strengthening kinetics delivers a new point of view on the position of FAK in migratory and mechanosensing responses. FAK-regulated, time-dependent generation of solid adhesive forces would substantially change lamellipodium dynamics and traction forces at the major edge of migratory and spreading cells. Impairment of adhesive forces at the cell entrance offers an explanation for the defects in migration velocity and mechanosensing in FAK-null cells . This clarification is consistent with latest observations that FAK is selleck chemicals involved in actin polymerization through interactions with Arp2/3 . The existing operate contributes a new element to the current design of cell migration in which FAK regulates focal adhesion disassembly to allow protrusion as nicely as mobile physique translocation . Evaluation of FAK phosphorylation mutants demonstrated an important part for the Y397 autophosphorylation internet site in adhesion strengthening and integrin binding amount. Mutation of the Y397 autophosphorylation web site blocked FAK-mediated adhesive responses. The dependence of adhesion strengthening on FAK Y397 phosphorylation is reliable with the part of this web-site in other adhesive processes. Migratory and spreading routines exhibit a powerful dependence on Y397 , and mutation of this residue often final results in total blocking of these responses. A big locating of our reports is the selleckchem identification of FAK as a modulator of integrin activation. To our expertise, this is the first report demonstrating a function for FAK in integrin activation. FAK-mediated adjustments in integrin activation help preceding reports demonstrating a purpose for FAK in managing mobile adhesion activation . Our conclusion that FAK modulates integrin activation is primarily based on the benefits for one) integrin binding to immobilized fibronectin, two) binding of numerous conformation-sensitive antibodies, and 3) integrin binding to a soluble fragment of fibronectin presenting the integrin binding domain. Integrin binding analyses utilizing a biochemical assay that specially isolates bound integrins demonstrated substantially increased levels of integrin binding to adsorbed fibronectin in FAK cells in contrast with FAKcells at the early time points. Simply because there were no distinctions in total integrin expression amongst these two cells, the enhanced ranges of bound integrins come up from selleck inhibitor greater figures of activated integrins in the FAKcells. The experiments with conformation-delicate antibodies provide an impartial confirmation of this consequence. Conformationsensitive antibody binding signifies the typically recognized method to assess integrin activation , and latest studies have employed the exact same certain antibody to create integrin activation in adherent cells .

Risk & Prevention
Who gets pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP)?
PCP is extremely rare in healthy people. Most people who get PCP have weakened immune systems due to HIV/AIDS, cancer treatments, or organ transplants. Other groups of people who are at risk for PCP include:
- HIV-exposed but uninfected children
- People who are receiving immunosuppressive therapies, such as organ transplant patients
- People with connective tissue diseases or chronic lung diseases
How can I prevent pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP)?
There is no vaccine to prevent PCP. Some groups of people who are at high risk of developing PCP may need to take a medication called TMP-SMX to prevent the illness from occurring. If your doctor thinks you are at risk for developing PCP, he or she might prescribe this medicine for you. TMP-SMX prophylaxis is currently recommended for:
- All HIV-infected patients with CD4 < 350 cells / µL
- Infants born to HIV-infected mothers
- Children with a history of PCP
- Stem cell transplant patients

Dollar General's success as a retailer has made fraudsters rely on the company's name and reputation to launch their malicious campaigns which fill their pockets with cash from affiliate shady marketing websites.
A Facebook message that promises $50 (35 EUR) Dollar General gift cards may be seen these days flooding walls, Hoax Slayer reports.
"Get $50 Dollar General gift card for FREE! (limited time only), Dollar General is currently giving away free gift cards to all Facebook users!" reads the scam post.
In reality, those who click the links are taken to survey websites that promise more fabulous prizes, but in the end no one ever gets anything.
Users who encounter Dollar General offers that don't point to their official Facebook page or their website are advised to ignore them.
If you've already been duped into sharing such a scam on your Facebook wall, delete the phony advertisement before any of your friends fall for it.

From hiking to rock climbing to kayaking, students of all ages enjoyed enhanced nature outings this year thanks to the school's new Outdoor Classroom initiative. Parents and the community at-large also benefited from innovative educational programming, hearing lectures by renowned authors and attending documentary film screenings on environmental issues. Marking its first anniversary, the Outdoor Classroom builds on the school's nature-rich curriculum, providing grants, teacher support, and community education. It is gearing up for an exciting second year by helping launch the school's new summer camp in June.
"I am thrilled with the reception of the Outdoor Classroom by our students and the community," said coordinator Amy Belkora. "The funds support our students' more frequent access to nearby nature and have already made a significant impact across the grades on our children's quality time outdoors."
Most recently, the Outdoor Classroom sponsored a series of outings for students in the High School's History of Architecture class. Seniors set out by bus, bike, and foot to explore the City's rooftop gardens, living alleys, and sustainable buildings, hearing from architects, city planners, and environmental experts along the way. Ongoing area habitat restoration projects at and around the high school are also supported; and water plants and willows are being grown for use in high school basketry classes.
At the grade school, fourth and seventh graders enjoyed guided kayaking in Point Reyes, complementing their studies of marine mammals, waterfowl, waterways, and early settlers. A fifth grade trip to Pinnacles included an additional day of guided rock climbing and botany exploration. Gear for expanded nursery exploration and grade school games at the Presidio was also provided through grants.
Throughout the year, students got the opportunity to meet with experts in the field, from foresters in the Presidio to city planners who design living alleys. Grateful for the outpouring of community support, Amy Belkora noted that "our students are inspired by people in the environmental community who generously share their expertise and passion about the natural world."
The Outdoor Classroom assembled an impressive list of public speakers; parents were invited to attend a lecture by Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods, and the school hosted a public lecture by David Sobel, author of Place-Based Education: Connecting Classrooms and Communities. The community was also encouraged to attend a screening of Symphony of the Soil, a documentary that explores soil as the foundation of life on earth.
The Outdoor Classroom Committee is made possible by a grant from the Seed Fund and generous financial support from the school community. For more information, please contact Mitch Mitchell at email@example.com or Amy Belkora at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Outdoor Classroom Committee includes leaders and innovators in the environmental/sustainability

When using System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2010 to perform host level backup of guests located on a CSV in Windows 2008 Hyper-V Cluster, some recovery point jobs fail intermittently with one or more of the following errors:
Type: Recovery point
This usually occurs if the Cluster nodes hosting the Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) storage do not have a Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) Hardware snapshot provider installed. When no VSS hardware snapshot provider is installed, you must enable both Cluster and CSV Serialization as documented in the following TechNet article.
To see what VSS Snapshot providers are installed on the system, run VSSADMIN LIST PROVIDERS from an administrative command prompt. The default in-box system software provider is listed as follows. Note the Provider ID GUID is the same across Windows operating system versions.
Provider name: 'Microsoft Software Shadow Copy provider 1.0'
However, even when using a VSS hardware snapshot provider, the error may still occur if you have a single CSV hosting all your Guests.
If serialization is enabled and you have a special character like an & in your Hyper-V virtual machine guest name, that will cause the %programfiles%\Microsoft DPM\DPM\Config\DataSourceGroups.xml file not to be parsed properly and the serialization will not work even when configured properly.
If you believe you have serialization enabled properly, check the %programfiles%\Microsoft DPM\DPM\Config\DataSourceGroups.xml file on the DPM server for special characters like & character. The easiest way to accomplish that is to open the DataSourceGroups.xml file using Internet Explorer - there should be no errors.
Regardless if using hardware or software snapshot provider , the following registry settings allow you to make adjustments to how DPM performs retries to claim the CSV in order to get reliable backups.
CsvMaxRetryAttempt - Adjust the maximum number of times (Default is 1) the DPM agent will attempt to claim the CSV volume. The value 0xC8 = 200 times.
1) Copy the following in notepad, then save the file as csvretry.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
2) Copy the csvretry.reg file to each node in the cluster.
3) Logon to each node in the cluster as an administrator, then right-click the csvretry.reg file and select "open with" - then "Registry Editor" option to import the registry settings.
NOTE: Should you continue to see the 0x8007173D errors, investigate further using this procedure:
1) Collect the %Programfiles%\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\DPM\Temp\DPMRACURR.ERRLOG from each node of the cluster.
Findstr /S "vsssnapshotrequestor.cpp(170) vsssnapshotrequestor.cpp(390) vsssnapshotrequestor.cpp(424) csvapi.cpp(400) vsssnapshotrequestor.cpp(585) hypervwriterhelperplugin.cpp(960) datasetfixupsubtaskbase.cpp(227) vsssnapshotrequestor.cpp(1111) freesnapshotsubtask.cpp(671)" *DPMRA*.errlog >ALL-BACKUP-START-FINISH.TXT
Open the ALL-BACKUP-START-FINISH.TXT text file in notepad and remove any entries not within the time period of the hyper-v backup times. You can see the order of the backups and the CSV retry attempts.
EXAMPLE OF GOOD HYPER-V GUEST BACKUP LOG ENTRY - Note that the ProviderID in this case is the Microsoft Software VSS Provider.
EXAMPLE OF FAILED BACKUP EVEN AFTER 4 RETRIES CsvMaxRetryAttempt = 3 and CsvAttemptWaitTime = 3 minutes
More Information
Should the Host level backups fail intermittently for other reasons, by default DPM will auto-retry the backup one hour after the original failure. Should that backup also fail, no additional retries are attempted.
To change the default auto-retry interval and count, you can adjust the following registry settings. Note: These will effect ALL DPM jobs, not just Hyper-V Guest backup jobs.
AutoRerunDelay - The delay in time in minutes before which DPM will attempt to automatically rerun failed jobs. If multiple reruns are configured, this is the gap between the reruns as well. The value of 0x3c = 60 minutes.

Flemington trainer Russell Cameron is wary of pushing his luck with his filly Lady Of Harrods.
Worried this Saturday's Group Two Edward Manifold Stakes might stretch the three-year-old, he has decided not to run her at Flemington.
Cameron is concerned that Lady Of Harrods might be flattened for her main target - the Group One Thousand Guineas (1600m) at Caulfield on October 17.
"We're pretty happy the way she is at the moment so we're just going to take the punt and go straight into the Guineas," Cameron said.
"She's done extremely well and we're really happy with her," Cameron said.
"I just fear I might go one (race) too far.
"She's very fit and well now and I feel she will run it out the way we've been training her."
Lady Of Harrods defeated the previously unbeaten Commanding Jewel in her Thousand Guineas Prelude (1400m) win at Caulfield on September 22.
Cameron will still have a presence at Flemington because he has nominated the four-year-old mare Ametsis for two races - the Listed Headquarters Tavern Stakes (1410m) and the Group Two Blazer Stakes (1410m).
He said Ametsis would run "wherever we can get in".
"She's not a very highly-rated filly. She had a good campaign in Brisbane without having much luck," he said.
"We feel she's going pretty well at the moment, we've just got to get into whatever race we can," Cameron said.

I didn't know I was afraid of black spiders the size of my thumb. I had forgotten that I was afraid of the dark. I have always worried about heights, but didn't know that tight places could make my fingers shake.
I also didn't know I could face all these fears simultaneously less than 15 minutes from home. Weybridge, and much of Vermont, has karst geology, meaning that beneath your feet probably lie yawning fissures, underground streams and eroded passages of slick limestone.
The Vermont Public Service Board has opened its review of the proposed purchase of Central Vermont Public Service by Gaz Metro, the Canadian utility that is the corporate parent of Green Mountain Power, and the subsequent merger of CVPS into GMP. One of the most important issues the PSB must decide in this preliminary phase of the proceeding is whether to grant the petition filed by Sen. Vincent Illuzzi, R-Essex-Orleans, and 45 other Vermont ratepayers to appoint an independent counsel to represent the public interest before the board.

Editor's note: In response to a request for information on recent burglaries in Bristol, the Bristol police chief, Kevin Gibbs, provided the Independent with this letter, which he had send to a correspondent on the online Front Page Forum.
VERGENNES — Vergennes police dealt with motor vehicle accidents, verbal domestic disputes, and one case of threats made over the phone in a relatively quiet week between Oct. 31 and Nov. 6.
In those seven days, Vergennes police:
• Early in the morning on Monday, Oct. 31, saw two people run between homes on West Main and Union streets and tried unsuccessfully to find them.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury police cited Binh Tat, 20, of Worcester, Mass., for possession and distribution of the drug "ecstasy," following a stop for speeding on Court Street on Nov. 2. Upon questioning, police said Tat admitted to having smoked marijuana earlier that evening. Police said their search of the vehicle revealed a jar, concealed in the gas cap, containing approximately four ounces of ecstasy. Police said Tat was lodged at the Addison County Sheriff's Department on $2,500 bail.
ADDISON COUNTY — In the past week or so, Vermont State Police charged area residents with a variety of crimes, including possession of drugs or stolen property and driving under the influence. In recent activity, troopers have:
• On Nov. 2 at 1:40 a.m. stopped a car on North Street in New Haven and ended up citing Adam Josey, 24, of Richmond for driving under the influence. Police said his blood alcohol content was 0.104 percent; the legal limit for driving is 0.08 percent.

There has been a strong trend toward managed care organizations because purchasers of health care services perceive them to be less expensive than traditional fee-for-service systems. In these vertically integrated organizations, an administrative entity coordinates or "manages" the delivery of health care services in ambulatory and hospital settings. Central to the cost containment mission of these organizations is the utilization control of physician services. Primary care physicians are put into the role of "gatekeeper" for their patients, regulating if and when specialty consultation and treatment is made available to them. In many managed care organizations, the primary care physician is paid under a capitation system--that is, the physician receives an annual salary based on the number of lives served, rather than services rendered. In such systems, there may be a financial disincentive for the primary care physician to refer patients for specialist care ("risk sharing"), since specialist care is thought to be more expensive. To address the important issue of how the quality of surgical services can be maintained in a managed care environment, the College...convened a group of 12 Fellows in various surgical specialties, all of whom work in some form of managed care system. This working group developed a series of recommendations for surgeons and managed care organizations, with the aim of ensuring that appropriate and timely quality surgical care is readily available to patients in the system. Although directed at managed care, these recommendations are widely applicable to all surgical services regardless of the health care delivery system. The following statement was approved by the College's Board of Regents at its October 9, 1994, meeting. In seeking to ensure the maintenance of high-quality surgical care for patients enrolled in managed care systems, the American College of Surgeons makes the following recommendations: Managed care organizations should document the quality of surgical care provided to their patients. Through national organizations such as the American College of Surgeons, surgeons must participate in determination of the measures used. These measures include documentation that: Referrals to surgeons are timely and appropriate, regardless of financial incentives Surgical response and treatment is timely and appropriate, regardless of financial incentives Facilities and personnel available are consistent with the surgical workload and quality goals Risk-adjusted morbidity and mortality rates of the managed care organization and the individual surgeon are within established limits Quality of life and performance capability of patients following surgical care is considered as a critical component of the measurement of outcome Satisfaction is measured and used in assessing and improving performance of the system Measurements should include surveys of the: Patient Referring physician Surgeon Cost-effectiveness is measured and considered in assessment of outcome Mechanisms for the collection and dissemination of data relative to these measures should be in place. Surgeons should participate in programs designed for the training and continuing education of primary care physicians (gatekeepers) so that timely referral will guarantee patients access to high-quality, cost-effective surgical care. The surgeon must be the patient advocate so that all patients will be ensured access to high-quality and the appropriate range of surgical care, regardless of disincentives, financial or otherwise, employed by the managed care organization.

Lara was also to have an incredible impact, quickly becoming the most recognized and celebrated female action heroine and an icon for the video games industry.
This newest rendition of Tomb Raider explores the intense and gritty origin story of Lara Croft and her ascent from a frightened young woman to the hardened survivor that she would become known as.

Sixteen months after his divorce, Richard Parker made a devastating discovery. A DNA test revealed that his 3-year-old son had been fathered by someone else.
Mr. Parker immediately filed a lawsuit claiming fraud by his apparently unfaithful ex-wife. He took his case all the way to the Florida Supreme Court.
Last week, the Florida justices ruled 7-0 against him. They said that Parker must continue to pay $1,200 a month in child support because he had missed the one-year postdivorce deadline for filing his lawsuit. His court-ordered payments would total more than $200,000 over 15 years to support another man's child.

Fort Defiance's Clay Harris gets blocked by Brunswick's Quantre'l Hardy during their state semifinal on Tuesday.
- Filed Under
In the postgame press conference following Fort Defiance's 56-29 loss to Brunswick in the Group AA, Division 3 boys' basketball semifinals Tuesday at Virginia Commonwealth University's Siegel Center, Indians' senior Adam Frazier said he was proud of his team.
That statement drew a big smile from his coach, Larry Leonard.
You get the feeling that, while Leonard would love to be coaching one more game this season, that statement by Frazier showed that the veteran coach more than accomplished his job this season. Fort Defiance may not have brought home the school's second-ever state ...

With the passage of Act 98 of 2012, the Vermont Department of Education became the Agency of Education and the Commissioner of Education became the Secretary. In light of that, the State Board of Education interprets the terms "commissioner" and "department" in the State Board of Education Manual of Rules and Practices to mean "secretary" and "agency" until such time as the language in the Rules is updated through a formal rulemaking process.

The #AppWorld Daily is Live—BlackBerry News via Twitter
BlackBerry users love their phones; no surprise there. However, one thing that they have been missing out on compared to their fellow Android and iPhone using brothers and sisters is apps. Sure, there are 10k+ apps, themes, etc. for the BlackBerry operating system but they are scattered amongst different online stores and websites. Research In Motion (RIM) has its own online app store—BlackBerry App World—but that has been plagued by problems that even the release of App World 2 has been hard pressed to fix.
So how does BlackBerry drum up interest for apps and its own app store? Why not harness the one social media platform that really puts the 'crack' in crackberry: Twitter. How? Cue The #AppWorld Daily and paper.li.
For those unfamiliar with paper.li, here is a quick overview. The website allows users to create customized, online 'newspapers' that automatically update themselves every 24 hours. These newspapers use a variety of criteria to draw all of their information from Twitter by looking for specific hash tags, keywords, etc. You get the idea. The end result is an online newspaper of sorts that categorizes information neatly and is all user-generated.
Okay, back to #AppWorld. This paper.li newspaper is very new and just getting off the ground. However, a quick look reveals its potential. For example, ever hear of the BlackBerry app Hypoxia? Neither had I until a tweet by RIM's Alex Kinsella (with the hash tag #appworld of course) popped up on the paper. Hypoxia lets BlackBerry owners stream media over their Wi-Fi networks.
Expect #AppWorld to grow exponentially as more learn about it. Oh and paper.li as well. The website is still very much a work in progress but fully functional. Maybe I should actually start using my much neglected Twitter account…
Go check out The #AppWorld Daily at paper.li/tag/AppWorld and then let others know what your favorite BlackBerry apps are with the appropriate hashtags!blackberry app world, RIM, paper.li, twitter

Midwest Living Review
This quaint inn features North Woods dcor, modern day amenities, and creative cuisine all under one room. The lodge holds seven rooms, each with their own distinct style mimicking a rustic play on the region. Our favorite is the Aurora Borealis room. The room boasts an 18-foot cathedral ceiling, expansive windows overlooking acres of forest, a king-sized bed on a homemade Amish style bed frame, and a doublewide jet tub that is guaranteed to pound your stresses away. Attention to small details, such as the wine glasses and full-size corkscrew, are a nice touch to this romantic getaway. In lieu of a lobby, guests can enjoy each other's company while playing a game of scrabble in front of a toasty fire in the commons area. The only downside: the rooms are not equipped with phones and spotty cell coverage at best makes it difficult to communicate with the outside world. On the other hand, isn't that the point of getting away? Rooms start at $89 per night in the winter and come with a $50 gift card to the Rookery Pub.

YIELD: Makes 4 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 45 min
TOTAL TIME: 1 hr
IngredientsFor köfte:
- 1 pound zucchini (3 medium)
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup packed flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 1/2 cup packed cilantro sprigs
- 1 cup rinsed and drained canned chickpeas
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 cup plain fine dry bread crumbs
- About 4 cups vegetable oil for frying
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 1/4 cups bulgur
- 1 pound medium beets with greens, beets peeled and diced (1/4 inch), stems discarded, and greens coarsely chopped
- 4 cups water
- 1/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted
- 1 cup plain yogurt (preferably Greek)
- 1 teaspooon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Make köfte:
Coarsely grate zucchini in a food processor fitted with the medium shredding disk. Toss with 1 teaspoon salt in a colander. Let stand 10 minutes.
Pulse garlic, parsley, and cilantro in food processor until finely chopped.
Wrap zucchini in a kitchen towel (not terry cloth) and twist to wring out as much liquid as possible.
Mash chickpeas:
With a fork, then toss with zucchini, garlic mixture, spices, bread crumbs, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Roll 2-tablespoons portions into balls and chill köfte in a 4-sided sheet pan while making bulgur.
Make bulgur:
Cook onion and garlic in oil and butter in a deep 10-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in bulgur, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring, until fragrant and a shade darker, about 4 minutes.
Stir in beets (but not greens) and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until water is absorbed and beets are tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in greens and cook until just wilted, about 1 minute. Fluff bulgur with a fork, then sprinkle with almonds.

The Expenses in your Retirement Plan are Blowing your Financial IndependencePosted on November 9th, 2010 2 comments
While incomes have gone up the cost of living has gone up much faster and in California the sales tax on your goods is through the roof. The idea of financial independence may be just an idea but it is supposed to be about replacing your current income so that you're not working forever. Only a few tools will be reliable enough going forward to get you there. Everyone must simply have some tax-free retirement funds if they are going to survive and tools that might not be subjected to the Mandatory Retirement Distributions (MRDs) which require you to take funds out of your retirement plan whether you need them or not and if you don't, you are penalized 50% on that distribution + the ordinary tax which usually equals 70%.
The idea of pooling money together for investment purposes seems to have started in Europe in the mid-1800s. The first pooled fund in the U.S. was created in 1893 for the faculty and staff ofHarvard University and on March 21, 1924 the first official mutual fund was born. It was called the Massachusetts Investors Trust. It came to life when three Boston securities executives pooled their money together, not knowing how popular and lucrative the funds would become for the financial companies that peddled them.
In recent commentary, insiders have adopted a more skeptical outlook on mutual funds. Richard Rutner, author of The Trouble With Mutual Funds, said in 2002 that "Most investors in mutual funds have no idea what they are invested in, which is the way the industry wants it."[1] Others have said that mutual funds are troubled because they are rewarded for the amount of money they attract, not the amount of money they earn.[2]
SEC Chairman Arthur levitt, Jr. warned of growing unfairness in the relationship between individual investors and mutual funds in January 2001. Mr. Levitt made the following comment:
"There are a number of instances that, quite frankly, do not honor an investor's rights. Instances where…hidden costs hurt an investor's bottom line, where spin and hype mask the true performance of a mutual fund, and where accounting tricks and sleight of hand dresses up a fund's financial results." [3]
What most people don't know is that there are five separate bills that mutual funds charge.[4] The best way to determine if an investment is effective for you or not is to dollarize the benefit or the burden. When you invest in the typical mutual fund (assuming outside of a qualified retirement plan), you face costs that erode your benefit. Chances are you're not aware of them, they're not in your prospectus and your broker isn't going to sit down and tell you about them. The five costs of mutual fund investing are:
1. Tax costs – excessive capital gains from active trading.
2. Transaction costs – the cost of the trades themselves.
3. Opportunity costs – dollars taken out of portfolios for a fund's safekeeping.
4. Sales charges – both seen and hidden.
5. Expense ratio, or "management fees" – no end to increases in site. This is a calculation based on the operating costs of the fund divided by the average amount of assets under management.
How do fund expenses affect you? Well, with the expense ratio, which averages 1.6% per year, sales charges of 0.5%, turnover generated portfolio transactions costs of 0.7% and opportunity costs of 0.3%—when funds hold cash rather than remain fully invested in stocks— the average mutual fund investor loses 3.1% of their investment returns every year just on fees. While this might not seem like much on the surface, costs and fees alone could consume 31% of a 10% market return. Think about that. You could be losing almost a third of your return before it's even taxed. You're losing a third of your return just for the cost of maintaining your investment. Add in the 1.5% capital gains tax bill that the average fund investor pays each year and that figure shoots up to 46% of your return being lost to fees and expenses, nearly half of a potential 10% return.[5] When you hear that, don't you feel like you're taking one or two steps back instead of going forward?
According to Richard Rutner, "No one denies that the average mutual fund returns 2% less per year than the stock market returns in general (see below on the breakdown). Yet the mutual fund industry spends billions of shareholder dollars to promote its money managers as experts who can manage investor's dollars with skill. The vast majority of mutual funds (94% according to a recent five-year survey by Lipper Analytical Services) have underperformed the stock market as a whole."[6]

Uncle Sam's Snake OilPosted on October 4th, 2010 1 comment
Uncle Sam and his band of merry-men, better known as Congress, have been pushing snake oil on the unsuspecting public in the form of retirement plans. But wait, isn't a pension plan one of the perks we look to when shopping for an employer? Well, not all pension planning is created equal and in most cases, quite disastrous.
Distributions from all qualified plans must begin no later than April 1st of the calendar year following the year that the participant attains age 70 1/2, or the calendar year in which the employee retires. Special rules apply if the distribution is made to a 5 percent owner of the business. The purpose of minimum distribution rules for retirement plans is to force the owner or participant of the pension plan to withdraw money from the plans, thus triggering an income tax on these monies. On April 16, 2002, the Internal Revenue Service issued final regulations as to these distributions.
Generally, the idea pursuant to the regulations is to have the owner or participant of the pension plan begin taking the money out of the pension plan beginning at the later of when he finishes working or age 70.5. One purpose of this is to insure that these monies will be subject to income tax prior to the death of the owner.[1]
Based on the current system the government has created with pension plans, the average retired couple will pay eight to twelve times more in taxes on their IRAs and 401(k)s during their retirement years than they saved during their contribution and accumulation years.[2] Generally, it is understood that you put money into your pension plan and tax is deferred and this is a great thing. Unfortunately, you may well be in a higher tax bracket if your pension accumulation is done right.
In addition to a higher tax bracket upon reaching retirement, many people find themselves with a free and clear home; they no longer have mortgage interest deductions to offset income tax. Many Americans find they are now paying back everything they saved in taxes during their accumulation and contributions years within the first two years of distributions. Therefore, there is an insidious income tax awaiting most people and if they didn't plan their estates, double taxation in the form of both income and estate tax.
Many postpone the transfer of their qualified funds until age 59 ½ in order to avoid the 10% tax penalty. Sometimes by delaying the payment of taxes, retirees will find themselves in a higher tax bracket after age 59 ½ because Congress could raise tax rates because of a political change. Inevitably, one must pay the piper now or later.
What is the answer? Simple, savings grade life insurance. This type of life insurance is not the same as the one you get countless letters about in the mail. This is life insurance that is focused on building up a triple compound because it is tax deferred. The difference between the deferral that life insurance experiences and pension plans is that when it comes time for payout, life insurance is received as a loan. This is a powerful concept because the proceeds will not be taxed; loans are not a form of taxable income. However, as a loan you will have interest on the payments. Most people mistakenly think they are going to pay interest on their own money with life insurance. While in theory that is true, the best insurance carriers provide for zero wash loans where the interest basically is forgiven or taken out of the death benefit when a person passes on. We are talking about real life insurance not the typical death insurance that most people have because you use it while you're alive.
The best candidates for creating amazing wealth with Savings grade life insurance are those in the age rages of thirty to fifty. Once committed and in the proper product it is foreseeable they will retire wealthy and without the annoying taxation that surrounds a pension plan. There are even strategies to start a contribution plan to your investment that only requires repositioning your current finances.
Social Security received a 2.7 percent boost in 2005, but Medicare will continue to eat up much of the increase and when the 79 million qualifying Americans sign-up – for Social Security look out below. This does not even account for the bail out with TARP funds that President Obama awarded bankers and the fact we are headed for Debtflation.James Burns, Esq.Attorney-at-LawAuthor: The 3 Secret Pillars of Wealth949) 231-9979

Long Term Nursing Care – are your prepared?Posted on September 29th, 2010 No comments
Many states have a high cost for long term care and nursing but California is very explosive in expenses.
State Median Annual Care Costs for 2010 are:
Nursing Home Care
- Private Room $87,345
- Semi-private Room $73,000
Assisted Living Facility
- Private, one bedroom $42,000
Adult Day Health Care
- Adult day health care $20,020
Home Care
- Home health aide $46,904
- Homemaker Services $45,646
The statistics are that 7 in 10 people will require one of these types of long term care in their senior years. The question is what have you done to take care of this potential problem?
You need to look at a long term care policy or better yet, an insurance policy that provides for supplemental retirement income but also has living benefits if you need them like nursing care. To ignore the numbers is to ignore a fact like you're going to get old and that everyone has to pay taxes. You need to be responsible to your loved ones and in order to preserve all that you are and have worked for from going out the window to pay for this.

Domestic Financial Terrorism – How do we defend?Posted on September 27th, 2010 No comments
The level of destruction on our financial system is incredible compared to what even Timothy McVee did as a domestic terrorist. You have to ask yourself who do some of these bankers and investment firms work for when you look at what they've done to the once wealthiest nation in the world.
Right now we've got $2 trillion in short-term debt that has to be refinanced this year of 2010 and China, India and Russia are not buying. This is not counting the extra deficit spending which should top $1.35 trillion this year…more or less. The fact the countries we've relied on are not buying means we have to fire up the printing presses again. We would already acknowledge that we are at a 10% inflation but the money folks have been using tricky phrases like "core inflation" which ignores half the things we spend money on so that way they can keep the numbers looking low.
A great book called This Time Is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly by Carmen Reinhard and Kenneth Rogoff shows that EVERY TIME a nation's debt went above 90% of GDP or Growth Domestic Product…the nation failed. The book studies 25 countries over 800 years and there were NO exceptions to the 90% rule. Every nation that ran their deficits to this 90% ratio is now off the map or turned Third World.
Right now, the US is above 90% and there appears no way to bring it down for decades unless some obscure genius comes out of the woodwork as they are not in the White House, Treasury or Fed.
It is unclear what Americans will do, especially for their retirement as the very tool our bankers use against us (stock market) they expect us to hand over our life's savings and just be ok with negative 30 or 40% loses. You know, its just the market reacting and it goes up and down. Why is that Ok? Why should we accept losses that take us forever to recover just to get back where we started be considered alright?
We need to redo some of the Healthcare Reform Act that President Obama so valiantly promoted before 2013 when our investments could be ravaged with a sur-tax just because we are in a certain income bracket and that bracket is not hard to be in if you live in a state with a high cost of living. Where is Sarah Palin and the Tea Party when we need them.
It is time to look at guaranteed opportunities that does not go down when the market goes down. When Wall Street was once honorable a man named Benjamin Graham (mentor to Warren Buffet) extolled what was an investment. It preserved principal and gave an adequate return. We need to get back to this simple idea and quit trying to find home runs since base hits get you to home plate just as well.
We also need tax-free strategies to weather the storm our own government and their brainy bankers have left before us. It was like turning on the gas to an already smoldering economy.

As everything was running late (apparently, there was a surprise signing downstairs), the whole conference got down to business immediately. Just about all the questions were thrown Guy Ritchie's way. Despite the nefarious characters who populate his films, Ritchie didn't consult any criminal figures for RocknRolla. (He did reveal that the pig farmer line in Snatch came from a real source, who now is a kindly grandfather.)
- He's interested in undercultures (his word, not mine), and sees RocknRolla as a commentary on modern London. The face of England is changing, London is becoming more international, and cultural identities are shifting. The influence of Eastern European and Russian corporate crime, is, of course a key component of the film and the new face of London. Ritchie also alluded to his "American wife" and how she helps him see the city not as a spy, with bad things around every corner, but as a tourist who is surprised anew by the city.
Ritchie also offered up a bit of info on his upcoming Sherlock Holmes reboot. According to him, it will have a modern sensibility and contemporary spin. It will be set in the Victorian era, and be more action oriented -- the sort of thing Holmes directors wished they could have done in the past. During the panel Q&A, a scant ten minutes later, he described it as "Bond in 1891" and a fun, wild ride.
I just couldn't write fast enough during this thing (thanks, tape recorder) but luckily it was repeated nearly word for word at the panel -- and with pithier quotes. The panel focus shifted, predictably, to Butler who performed with sarcastic aplomb. Little was given away about the film; all involved just kept stressing how cool the movie is, how awesome the script is, and that we all need to go see it.
- Guy Ritchie on the critics hating his last two films: "No, no, they didn't -- they loved them!"
- According to Butler, if you love London, you'll love this movie. It's the perfect backdrop to it. He also says "It defines cool" and [It's] better than sex. But not with me. With Idris."
- It was less physically demanding for the former Spartan, though there was a close call as he was running along some train tracks. "Don't get run over, we have a movie to do." The biggest physical calamity he had to overcome was getting incredibly sick, which a B-12 shot to the bum (courtesy of Madonna) didn't fix.
- Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch are two of his favorite movies, and reading the script made him "immediately excited" to be a part of the film.
- The film speaks for itself. It's a bunch of cool guys and girls, and a great script.
- Jeremy Piven said Ritchie never saw Entourage, so he had to work that much harder to get the part, which was originally written for an African-American man. He plays an American music agent of the "rocknrolla" character, and took a lot of his cues from Ludacris.
- Ludacris wanted to be in the movie just to kiss Thandie Newton, which didn't happen. Then he admitted he was kidding, and that the incredible cast and script made him want to be a part of it.
- Ritchie writes so well, no one needs (or is encouraged) to improve -- but Piven did anyway.
The footage shown was an extended trailer of the version already online -- the only new scene which immediately comes to mind is Elba and Butler disguised as cops/security guards and bungling a car robbery. So, merely watch the current trailer over and over again, and repeat the above to yourself in a variety of UK accents, and you can mimic all that I saw!
Not that I was disappointed, mind you. One can't be disappointed when Butler sticks his tongue out at you.

Trend Horizons

Posted: December 6, 2010, from the December 2010 issue of GCI Magazine.
page 3 of 4
Beauty products as simple as lip gloss and moisturizer are seeing health benefits these days. From the introduction of SPF into foundations, skin creams, hair products and more to the increasing introduction of ingredients such as collagen, resveratrol, acai and amino acids, products are being formulated to not only create a youthful, fresh outward appearance, but also to help support a medically healthy body as well. While it's true that these ingredients and efforts have long supported both health and beauty, the industry has turned the dial up on touting these offerings, showing how they truly do work hand in hand to leave consumers with the results they crave. This has led brand owners to encourage further introduction of these ingredients into formulations, as well as analyzing the ingredients products already include for medically based benefits.
This has also led to a relative explosion of the cosmeceutical niche within the beauty world. Albert Kligman, MD, PhD, a physician at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and a professor of dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine coined the term, using it to describe topical preparations that were sold as cosmetics but could benefit the skin like a pharmaceutical. Though physicians getting in on the act of beauty products is nothing new, now many dermatologists and cosmetic physicians are branding their lines with their own names, such as Perricone MD, a line founded and supported by dermatologist Nicholas Perricone, MD; Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare, formerly MD Skincare; and Obagi Medical Products, founded by Zein Obagi, MD, a dermatologist.
This trend also has encouraged the rise of nutraceuticals, or supplements taken to help encourage and ensure healthy skin, hair and nails. Going beyond vitamins and dietary supplements, these beauty supplements feature a gamut of antioxidant options, isoflavonoids and other ingredients that often naturally appear in food and drink, but are now being used to support a beauty routine. The supplements aren't always just in pill form, also appearing as drinks and foods, and beauty-supporting ingredients in these consumables are increasingly used to help supplement the skin, hair and nail beauty maintenance routines people are already undertaking.
Market Positioning
The recession as a trend is so 2009— or at least that's what economists, who assert the economic downturn ended in July 2009, would say. However, the challenges of the difficult economy have implications that are certainly stretching into 2010 and beyond. For the beauty industry, one of the main lasting effects is the increased popularity of private label and store brands. When the economy turned south, many consumers, instead of giving up their beauty routine altogether, shifted to similar products that featured a lower price point. From the online-exclusive GCI magazine article "The Rebuilding of Bar Soap," Jim Howard, vice president of sales and marketing with bar soap manufacturer Twincraft, said, "There has been a massive focus from the FDM [food, drug, mass] stores to develop their own private label store brands. As a result of the recession, consumers began shifting to using these store brands for their better price points, and then found they liked them. This has encouraged the FDM lines to want to innovate to keep these consumers interested and retain them."
Now, these lines are working to keep the consumers they gained during the economic downturn—as some consumers turn back to their tried and true brands, as Ed Shirley, vice chair of global beauty and grooming, P&G, noted at a September 2010 CEW event. "Consumers can't afford to fail [in their product selection] when they don't have much discretionary income. Brands are trust marks." This has influenced what retailers offer to consumers on the shelves, as well as how new products are being conceptualized, formulated and marketed.
