Champ Bailey, Michael Sam among NFL cuts

For the first time in his career, Champ Bailey was told he isn't good enough.
Jettisoned by the New Orleans Saints after a difficult training camp, the 12-time Pro Bowl cornerback was the most notable name when NFL teams trimmed their rosters to 53 active players Saturday.
A close second was Rams rookie Michael Sam, the first openly gay player drafted by an NFL team.
The seventh-round draft pick, watched as closely as any rookie in the league this summer, couldn't make a team stacked with pass-rushers. He still has a chance to get picked up by another team or to make the Rams' practice squad.
Coach Jeff Fisher repeated over and over that cutting Sam was purely a football decision.
"I will tell you this: I was pulling for Mike," Fisher said. "I really was, and I don't say that very often. Mike came in here and did everything we asked him to do."
On Twitter, roughly an hour after he was cut, Sam wrote: "The most worthwhile things in life rarely come easy, this is a lesson I've always known. The journey continues."
He also thanked the Rams and city of St. Louis on Twitter, adding that he looks forward to a long and successful career.
The Rams selected Sam, the SEC co-defensive player of the year at Missouri, with the 249th overall pick out of 256 overall. Fisher called the draft pick a "second historic moment" for a franchise that signed running back Kenny Washington in 1946 as the league's first black player in the modern era.
Ultimately, he wasn't good enough to make the Rams' roster.
Generally, players such as Sam with fewer than four seasons in the league are subject to waivers. Those who clear waivers and have practice squad eligibility can sign Sunday when teams fill out their 10-member developmental units.
Vested veterans who were released this weekend are free agents who can sign with anybody. But some might have to wait to get scooped up because their full 2014 salaries are in effect guaranteed if they're on a roster in Week 1.
It just might be the end of a stellar career for Bailey, who said after the Super Bowl that he wouldn't retire "because I still know I can play this game."
Only seven players in NFL history have more Pro Bowl selections than Bailey, who signed with the Saints following his release from the Denver Broncos in the spring only to spend much of training camp dealing with nagging injuries.
"Well, whatever happens to him now in the short term is not going to change his legacy," Broncos GM John Elway said. "He's still going to go down as one of the greatest corners to ever play the game and will always in our minds be a Denver Bronco."
Bailey missed 11 games last season after hurting his left foot in the preseason. He returned for Denver's stretch run and reached his first Super Bowl, but clearly wasn't the same player.
In his prime, Bailey wasn't often challenged by quarterbacks yet he still managed 52 interceptions, more than any active cornerback.
Elway said it was difficult to let Bailey go this offseason as he retooled his defense following Denver's Super Bowl dud against Seattle.
Elway also dreads cut-down day.
"Today is obviously the toughest part of my job," Elway said. "It's hard breaking dreams."
Among the players he dismissed Saturday was nine-year defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson, who started 25 games for the defending AFC champs over the past two seasons.
Vickerson was beaten out by Marvin Austin, the latest veteran whom Elway signed to a one-year, no-bonus deal for a shot at resurrecting his career with the Peyton Manning-led Broncos.
Elway also cut third-year safety Duke Ihenacho, who was the odd-man out in a crowded defensive backfield featuring free agent acquisition T.J. Ward.
Other notable players who were either waived or released this weekend, depending in their experience level, included:
—Jets WR Stephen Hill, a 2012 second-round draft pick out of Georgia Tech who failed to follow in the footsteps of fellow alumni Demaryius Thomas and Calvin Johnson. He finished the past two seasons in IR.
—Bengals RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis, the team's top rusher the past two seasons who was made expendable when the team drafted LSU's Jeremy Hill in the second round.
—Browns WR Nate Burleson, an 11-year veteran who was slowed by a hamstring injury in camp. The Browns are thin at wide receiver after Pro Bowler Josh Gordon was suspended for the entire 2014 season for another violation of the league's substance-abuse policy.
—Jets CB Dimitri Patterson, ending a bizarre week that began when he left the team before its preseason game against the Giants on Aug. 22, leading to a suspension.
—Saints Ks Shayne Graham and Derek Dimke. The Saints did not immediately indicate what their intentions were at kicker after cutting both the veteran Graham and the rookie Dimke. But they could have in mind one of a number of proven kickers cut by other clubs, including Ryan Succop, who was cut by Kansas City, or Jay Feely, recently cut by the Cardinals.

For anyone looking to purchase this, the photo pictured in this review is the old version. It now comes in a glass bottle with no pump. I hate the bottle since I have to pour it out.
I have extreme combination skin. It's very sensitive too. But almost every foundation wears poorly on me because between oil and perspiration, they melt away. So I bought this at Marlena's (makeup geek) recommendation for a sweat proof foundation. I got it in the shade 101 Classic Ivory, which seems to be a good match for my NW15-20 skin.
When I first got it, I was using a beautyblender to apply this, and even if I washed it right away, it took a minimum of 10 minutes to clean the beautyblender, and it was starting to ruin the beautyblender and try my patience. So I stopped that, and started applying it with a brush spritzed with MAC fix +. I've had much better luck applying it with a brush, especially the Sigma F80. It stays on all day without any oil breaking through. It starts to look a little shiny at about 8 hours, but it isn't actually oil. Weirdest thing. I find that I have to set it with powder to keep it basically matte.

Like many of us, I am always in search of that perfect foundation. This is not - quite - perfect but comes close. I am 63 with good skin and this makes it look really good. I know it says "full coverage" on the bottle but I dont know it that is so or not. It gives me a really smooth finish, not cakey or heavy and it does indeed wear well; I apply E.L.F.'s HD shimmer powder over it (which is also a product that rocks). I gave it four lippies for only one reason - it dries extremely fast, even when applied with a damp sponge - which I do - and it is sort of like paint in that way, you have to work fast. That said, it is a buildable foundation. I believe the packaging has changed, it comes in a glass bottle, and I am fine with that. I have to say this foundation was a complete surprise; I just picked it up at Target on impulse, without knowing anything about it, and checked the reviews later. I have Light Ivory and it is perfect for me. Also has good SPF. While I have never purchased a high end foundation I have tried many drug store brands, and this is really excellent, a great product, and a great value. I would definitely purchase it again and am contemplating tossing all my others.

I went on a foundation buying spree recently and bought this foundation along with Revlon Age Defying, Maybelline Age Rewind Eraser, ELF BB cream and Tarte 12 hour foundation. Comparing this side to side against Maybelline Age Rewind Eraser, I preferred the Maybelline over this. The Maybelline had better coverage and smoothed out my pores better. However the Maybelline didn't even last on my face for half a work day in an air conditioned office. Major bummer. Based on that, I gave the Rimmel another chance. It does stay on longer...maybe not quite 8 hours BUT I found the floral smell overwhelming. It gave me a nauseated headachey feeling. What a shame. It went back to Target along with the Maybelline.

First off I will say that I did not purchase this product even though that's what I went to the drugstore to purchase and here is why. I tested this on the back of my hand to see if it was a colour match and left it on for a bit while I walked around the store to make sure it didn't oxidise. Unfortunately, it oxidised HORRIBLY on the back of my hand. I can't even imagine what it would've looked like on my face. Too bad because the darkest shade colour matched me well, price was right, and it came with a pump :( anyways I ended up taking home the Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless Foundation which is absolutely amazing! Had to buy a pump separately from clinique but it was super cheap so it's not a big deal. Too bad because this foundation had a lot of potential :(

This is the foundation I'm currently using, and as long as the formula doesn't change then I will be happy to buy this again and again. I have it in the shade 303 (True Nude) and it matches my skin colour perfectly. I've never tried to build it, but I don't need to, because one pump is just enough for me. I find that my skin looks very nice and natural with this foundation on, not too cakey or oily or dry. I don't use primers and this stuff still lasts all day (though I do set it with my Rimmel Stay Matte powder). And the packaging is great, I love the size and shape of the glass bottle, and the pump dispenses the perfect amount of product and doesn't get too messy. Definitely my favourite foundation that I've tried so far.

OMG where can I start with this foundation? Firstly, I have yellow undertones and I am pretty fair skin toned, Ivory 100 fits me perfectly! Usually drug store foundations have pink undertones, and it's hard finding a shade that I'm completely happy with. Second, this foundation is full coverage and a little goes a long way, which is also amazing because it's also inexpensive and affordable. Thirdly, when it says it's 25 hour stay, you better believe it! 12 hour days and maybe only once do I have to apply powder since I do get oily throughout the day. I set this foundation with Rimmel's Stay Matte Pressed Powder and this is a dynamic duo that's unstoppable! Also, this foundation does not make me break out and I am pretty acne prone especially before my time of the month. TRY IT, YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED. One of the best drug store foundations, hands down!

They changed the packaging it seems, to a glass bottle with screw top lid. I prefer this, for some reason, not that I think it is easier, I just do. Less likely to get squished I guess.
Anywho, I picked this up because it claims to be transfer proof and sweat proof. I wear glasses all day every day and makeup on the nose piece is the bane of my existence, and I live in a very humid place at the moment so I sweat like crazy. It also claims to have "comfort serum" whatever the heck that is. I tested it out at first without any other makeup, on a slightly cool day. It did take about 5 minutes to set completely, but even while it was still a bit tacky it didn't transfer. Only the smallest amount got on my glasses when I put them on, and then it didn't go anywhere. It is definitely more full coverage than any other drugstore foundation I have tried, and with a bit of concealer any spots are gone. I have noticed that if I do set it with powder, it can look a little cakey and dry, so I tend to just let it set, unless I need the extra layer of coverage, in which case I just spritz it with a bit of witch hazel and that takes care of the cakey-ness. Sometimes I get a bit oily in my T zone, but a blotting paper will take care of that, but it doesn't happen very often. Another thing I really love is that it looks like skin. It is full coverage but it doesn't look like you have a layer of rubber on your face like some other full coverage foundations can. The 100 Ivory is a perfect match for my skin, which can be hard to find. The only downside is that there aren't many color options, so anyone with skin darker than a medium tan will have to look elsewhere (I feel like that isn't a very good business plan because they're missing out on a huge chunk of the population).

This foundation offers very good coverage, I would say medium to full. This feels comfortable on the skin, and blends seamlessly. The only downsides would be that it doesn't control oil, or stay matte for very long. I have been mixing it with another foundation just for the sake of using it, since I cannot return drugstore makeup in Canada.
- Really cheap
- Somewhat okay shade range
- Good coverage
- For those with neutral undertones, these shades seem to be neutral or pink
- In a bottle with a pump
- Does not control oil
- Does not stay matte
- No yellow undertones

I have been using this foundation in colour #202 for over 6 years, i am a makeup and foundation junkie and do not leave the house without it.
This foundation is light enough so that you do not look like caked up but heavy enough to cover my redness and rosacea.
You can also put little on and cover a large area or put more on to get the heavier effect.
I do not need to use primer generally in summer but in winter I use a little to moisturize the face before applying as my skin gets dry.
Overall i think this product is great value for money and it can be found in most supermarkets in Australia.
I always get comments on how well I blend my makeup and with this foundation, its best to blend with your fingers.

I had been looking for a long wear foundation since the AC at my work has been on the fritz for a few weeks now and we have all been just boiling hot! As a result of this my make up has been melting off my face so I needed something durable and sweat proof.. I found this on sale for $8.47 CAD and it's description sounded perfect "sweat proof, transfer proof, etc".
Well, I did not find it to live up to its name. I applied two layers to cover my redness (I have very red skin) and I left the house with great coverage and great looking skin. Well by the 3 hour mark in my work day my redness was already showing through! And by the end of my 9 hour shift, my skin looked awful... dull and blotchy and most of my redness was now visible. This doesn't normally happen to me even when I use my normal foundation that is not long wearing!
So disappointed... but at least I hardly spent any money on this,
PS.. since this I have bought and tried Revlon Colorstay Liquid and find it works very well and lasts well throughout my workday!

During the first six months of 2007, online ad revenues grew by 26.4 percent over the same period last year to nearly $10 billion, according to the latest report from the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
According to ClickZ News:
Little has changed in the distribution of revenues across search, display and other channels. Search spending during the year's first half accounted for 41 percent of all revenues, compared with 40 percent for the year-ago period. In raw dollar terms, search grew 29 percent to $4.1 billion. Display advertising meanwhile increased from $2.4 billion, or 31 percent of the pie, in the first half of 2006, to $3.2 billion, or 32 percent, for the 2007 period.

IN NO OTHER country of twentieth-century Europe have matters of local government played more havoc with domestic peace and external security than in Czechoslovakia. Nor does modern history offer a more frustrating story than the process by which well-meant, though slow and hesitant, endeavor to meet claims for more local selfgovernment was exploited for the opposite purpose, i.e., for crushing liberty and establishing a rigid totalitarian centralism.
The birth of the Republic itself in 1918 was bitterly opposed by most of its German minority, whose desire, however unrealistic, was to join the new Austrian state. The majority of the Sudeten Germans had scarcely begun to show a change of heart, and leaders of their major parties had hardly begun active cooperation with the Czechoslovak government by sending their representatives to sit in the Czechoslovak cabinet in 1926 and 1929, when Hitler came to power in Germany, and the Nazi acid quickly corroded the delicate fabric of Czech-German cooperation.
Having learned, in the holocaust of World War II and under the heel of Nazi occupation, how cleverly petty quarrels over more or less local self-government were subject to exploitation against them, the Czechs, Slovaks, and Ruthenians set out with high hopes to build up a new, almost federal pattern of decentralized government. They established, in 1944 and 1945, a system of elective people's committees vested with broad powers of self-government. Yet once again, as in the case of the Nazis in 1938 and 1939, what were to be institutions of greater freedom were gradually turned into the chief instruments of suppression, culminating in the communist coup of February 1948.
Thus, the story of Czechoslovak local government is not only an account of drastic changes in forms and institutions and in their practical working. It is also a story of the profound mutual mistrust of three major ethnic groups, Czechs, Slovaks, and Germans, a story of irreconcilable clashes fostered and exploited by foreign interests, a story of frustrated hopes, of two national, and millions of

What is the official name of the CLCN7 gene?
The official name of this gene is "chloride channel, voltage-sensitive 7."
CLCN7 is the gene's official symbol. The CLCN7 gene is also known by other names, listed below.
Read more about gene names and symbols on the About page.
What is the normal function of the CLCN7 gene?
The CLCN7 gene belongs to the CLC family of genes, which provide instructions for making chloride channels. These channels, which transport negatively charged chlorine atoms (chloride ions), play a key role in a cell's ability to generate and transmit electrical signals. Some CLC channels regulate the flow of chloride ions across cell membranes, while others transport chloride ions within cells.
The CLCN7 gene provides instructions for making a chloride channel called ClC-7. These channels are abundant in cells throughout the body. They are particularly important for the normal function of osteoclasts, which are specialized cells that break down bone tissue. Osteoclasts are involved in bone remodeling, a normal process in which old bone is removed and new bone is created to replace it. Bones are constantly being remodeled, and the process is carefully controlled to ensure that bones stay strong and healthy.
ClC-7 channels help regulate the relative acidity (pH) of osteoclasts. These channels transport two negatively charged chloride ions out of these cells for every positively charged hydrogen atom (hydrogen ion) that flows in. In this way, ClC-7 channels help balance the acidic environment that osteoclasts use to dissolve bone tissue. The pH inside and outside osteoclasts must be carefully controlled for these cells to break down bone effectively.
Does the CLCN7 gene share characteristics with other genes?
The CLCN7 gene belongs to a family of genes called CLCN (chloride channels, voltage-sensitive).
A gene family is a group of genes that share important characteristics. Classifying individual genes into families helps researchers describe how genes are related to each other. For more information, see What are gene families? in the Handbook.
How are changes in the CLCN7 gene related to health conditions?
Where is the CLCN7 gene located?
Cytogenetic Location: 16p13
Molecular Location on chromosome 16: base pairs 1,444,933 to 1,475,084
(Homo sapiens Annotation Release 107, GRCh38.p2) (
The CLCN7 gene is located on the short (p) arm of chromosome 16 at position 13.
More precisely, the CLCN7 gene is located from base pair 1,444,933 to base pair 1,475,084 on chromosome 16.

Billboard Evangelism
CAM's Billboard Evangelism (BBE) program helps point America to Christ by posting clear Gospel messages along interstates and major highways. It is estimated that more than four million people drive past our messages each day.
Many people across America are confused about God and life. They don't know what to believe or where to find help. Churches throughout our nation are rejecting the absolute authority of the Bible, and some Bible colleges teach students they can believe in evolution AND God. No wonder so many are confused. Where can these people turn for Biblical answers?
CAM's Gospel messages include the following:
- In the beginning, God created
- After you die, you will meet God
- Where are you going? Heaven or Hell?
- The Holy Bible. Inspired. Absolute. Final
- Who is Jesus?
Each billboard includes a toll-free number, which people can call to speak with one of our phone team members. The phone team receives an average of about 200 calls daily.
Thanks to your support, Billboard Evangelism has Gospel messages in all 50 states. We also have Gospel posters in shopping malls and airports.

Sharks made few changes after playoff flop

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The San Jose Sharks responded to their quickest playoff exit in a run of eight straight postseason appearances with tinkering instead of a roster overhaul.
There will be some changes on the third and fourth lines as the Sharks plan to take a look at some younger players and former first-round pick Brad Stuart is back on defense seven years after being traded away.
But the core of the team is still strikingly similar to the group that got knocked out of the playoffs ...

Estate and Gift Tax Changes
On November 9, 2012 the Joint Committee on Taxation released a report which, among other issues, examines the potential impact to the Treasury from potential changes to the estate tax, including the Obama administration's proposals. Importantly, if the 2012 estate tax regime is extended into 2013, the Joint Committee estimates that there will be 3,600 taxable estates. Under the Obama administration's proposed 45-percent estate tax and $3.5-million exemption, the number of taxable estates in 2013 is estimated to be 7,200. If the estate tax regime in 2013 reverts back to the 2002 regime (as it is currently scheduled to do), the number of taxable estates is estimated to be 55,200.
Estate And Gift Tax Planning
2012 provides a unique opportunity for making gifts using the federal estate, gift and generation skipping transfer ("GST") tax exemption of $5,120,000 (reduced by any prior use of such exemption).
Unless Congress takes action, the exemption decreases to $1 Million on January 1, 2013 and there is a possibility that those who miss the opportunity will have lost the ability to make significant tax free gifts.
· Based upon the existing estate and gift tax rate of 35%, the additional taxes from not taking advantage of the gift exemption of $5.12 Million that could expire on January 1, 2013 as compared to the $1 Million gift tax exemption that is scheduled to be effective on January 1, 2013 could be over $1.4 Million.
· If estate, gift and GST tax rates are increased to 45%, additional taxes from not taking advantage of the $5.12 million tax exemption could be over $1.8 Million.
· For couples who each retain their $5.12 million of remaining gift tax exemption (total of $10.24 million), the potential gift tax savings by making use of the 2012 exemption could be as much as $3.7 million (assuming the gift tax exemption is reduced to $1 million and gift tax rates increased to 45%).
These computations disregard the additional tax benefits of removing future appreciation on assets gifted from future estate, gift and GST taxes.
If you believe you can afford to make gifts in 2012, you must carefully select assets to gift and understand the consequences if such gifts are determined to be undervalued in the event of an IRS audit.

Estate Tax Traps
Are you married?
Estates of married individuals dying after 2010 must file an estate tax return to pass along their unused estate & gift tax exclusion amount to their surviving spouse.
Available for the first time this year, the new portability election allows estates of married taxpayers to pass along the unused part of their exclusion amount, normally $5 million in 2011, to their surviving spouse. Enacted in December, 2010, this provision eliminates the need for spouses to retitle property and create trusts solely to take full advantage of each spouse's exclusion amount.
A married couple might want to take into consideration a very important aspect of the 2010 estate tax law. Under the law, each partner's individual estate tax exemption of $5.12 million becomes "portable," or it allows the first partner who passes away to transfer his or her individual estate tax exemption to his or her surviving spouse.
The IRS expects that most estates of people who are married will want to make the portability election, including people who are not required to file an estate tax return for some other reason. The only way to make the election is by properly and timely filing an estate tax return on Form 706. There are no special boxes to check or statements needed to make the election.
The purpose of this provision is to ensure that the surviving spouse does not incur an estate tax on property that would normally be covered by the estate tax exemption. This provision operates with the martial estate tax exemption, which allows the first spouse to pass away to transfer his or her assets to the surviving spouse without incurring an estate tax. Because of this provision, the first spouse to pass away does not need to use the $5.12 million exemption.
However, if a couple wants to take advantage of the portability provision, the executor of the estate must file an estate tax return on the first spouse to pass away to preserve the exemption. Even if the estate is worth less than $5.12 million exemption, the executor might still want to file an estate tax return preserving the exemption just to be cautious. The surviving spouse might gain a windfall and, notwithstanding other facts, use the preserved exemption to pass that windfall to the heirs of the surviving spouse.

Same-Sex Marriage And The Federal Estate Tax
In November, 2010, a court action was filed in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, seeking a refund of the estate tax levied on a married same-sex couple, which would not have applied to a married straight couple and which arguably violated the United States Constitution. The plaintiff in that action, Edith Schlain Windsor ("Edie") challenged the constitutionality of section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act ("DOMA") which required Edie to pay federal estate tax on her same-sex spouse's estate.
Edie met her late spouse, Thea Clara Spyer ("Thea"), nearly a half-century ago at a restaurant in New York City. Edie and Thea went on to spend the rest of Thea's life living together in a loving and committed relationship in New York.
After more than forty years, Thea and Edie were finally legally married in Toronto, Canada in 2007. Having spent virtually their entire lives caring for each other in sickness-including Thea's long battle with multiple sclerosis-and in health, Thea and Edie were able to spend the last two years of Thea's life together as married.
New York State legally recognizes Edie and Thea's marriage and provided them with the same status, responsibilities, and protections as other married people. However, Edie and Thea were not considered "married" under federal law because of the operation of the statute known as DOMA, and, as a result, Edie was forced to pay more than $350,000 in federal estate tax that she would otherwise not have had to pay if Edie and Thea's marriage were recognized under federal law.
This month, the District Court upheld Windsor's constitutional challenge to section 3 holding that it violates the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution thereby allowing for the marital deduction.
This is a rapidly evolving area of the law. If you are an executor in a similar situation, you should move quickly to file protective claims.

Estate Tax Exemption Portability
Currently, on account of the enactment of the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010 (the "2010 Tax Act"), the Federal estate tax exemption is $5.12 million, or twice that for a married couple.
It was and is common practice for a married person to provide if his or her surviving spouse survives to have his or her estate to be divided into two broad portions. One part is made equal to the estate tax exemption. That part is exempted from estate tax when that spouse dies on account of the so-called unified or applicable estate tax credit (which may be translated into a dollar exemption of $5.12 million). That part may be placed into a trust of which the surviving spouse is a beneficiary but need not be included in the gross estate of the survivor. Typically, that trust is called the "credit shelter trust" (because it is protected from type by reason of the unified credit), "estate tax exemption trust" or a "bypass trust" (because it "passes by" the estate of the surviving spouse for estate tax purposes).
The second part of the estate of the surviving spouse usually passes to or in a marital deduction trust for the surviving spouse and avoids estate tax when the first spouse dies by reason of the estate tax marital deduction. The property that passes to or in trust for the surviving spouse under the protection of the estate tax marital deduction is included in the gross estate of the survivor (unless consumed, given away or dissipated before the survivor dies). (In some cases, this second part of the estate is also divided by directing an amount equal to the otherwise unused generation skipping transfer tax (GST) exemption of the first spouse to die to pass into a separate qualified terminable interest property (QTIP) trust described in Section 2056(b)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code). A QTIP trust qualifies for the estate tax marital deduction only by affirmative election.
As mentioned, the 2010 Tax Act increased the Federal estate tax exemption to $5.12 million for this year. That Tax Act also made other changes to the Code including adopting a "portability" system under which the surviving spouse may "inherit" any unused estate tax exemption of the first spouse to die, by an affirmative election on the United States estate tax return of the spouse dying first, and use it to protect the survivor's later gifts from gift tax or his or her estate at death from Federal estate tax.
But under the 2010 Tax Act, the Federal estate tax exemption is scheduled to decline to and remain at $1 million at the end of this year. Moreover, under that act, portability will disappear. However, many think that Federal legislation will be enacted that will increase the Federal exemption to at least $3.5 million and make portability permanent.
Under Revenue Procedure 2001-38, 2001-1 CB 1335, the IRS ruled that the estate of the surviving spouse is permitted to "undue" or "reverse" any QTIP election made in the estate of the first spouse to die which was unnecessary to reduce the Federal estate tax marital deduction. In other words, if the spouse dying first directed the amount by which his or her Federal estate tax exemption exceeded the amount needed to eliminate Federal estate taxes back into the marital deduction trust, then over-funding the QTIP trust can be undone so that no part of the over-funded amount will be included in the survivor's gross estate.
If both portability and Rev. Proc. 2001-38 are available, two additional considerations need to be taken into account. The first is that all appreciation with respect to the assets excluded from the estate of the surviving spouse, by reason of enacting the revenue procedure, occurring after the death of the first spouse to die up to the death of the survivor on those assets, would be excluded from the gross estate of the survivor. In contrast, in the case of portability, all appreciation on the assets passing to the surviving spouse with respect to the ported amount of Federal estate tax exemption would be included in the survivor's gross estate. The second is that, in the case of portability, the property inherited by the surviving spouse will receive automatic change in income tax basis pursuant to Section 1014 of the Code. On the other hand, if revenue procedure is invoked, the basis of that property will not be adjusted at the survivor's death.
Ethical Will
Ethical Wills are documents designed to pass ethical values from one generation to the next. It is not a legal document and typically it is in the form of a letter written by parents to children or grandchildren. It is drafted by you, not me or any other attorney. Today it does not need to be in the form of a letter but could be an audio or video recording.
Ethical wills often contain meaningful family stories, personal values and beliefs, statements of faith, blessings, advice, and expressions of love. They may even share regrets, apologies, and final requests. There are no rules or laws about the length or content of an ethical will. It can be a few lines, or paragraphs or many pages in length.
Every ethical will is unique. And, while there is no standard format for writing one, samples of ethical wills can be found at this link.
The process of writing the ethical will can be rewarding. The centerpiece of the letters I have seen are a few short sentences about what values are important to the individual. However, what most distinguishes an ethical will from a will dealing with one's assets, is that there is a explanation of how these values came to be important, whether they were passed down from previous generations or, learned through real life lessons.
Wikipedia has a terrific article on ethical wills covering these topics:

Using Estate Planning To Protect Your Image
Rights of publicity pass to the heirs of celebrities who are residents of California when they die. A hologram performance by Tupac Shakur (who died in 1996) at this year's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is a right which passed to his mother when he was shot.
Proper estate planning in California can help direct where revenue from those rights will go long after the person died.
California Civil Code section 3344 is for the publicity rights of living persons, while Civil Code section 3344.1, known as the "Astaire Celebrity Image Protection Act," grants statutory post-mortem rights which prohibit the unsanctioned use of the "name, voice, signature, photograph or likeness on or in products, merchandise or goods" of any person.
Civil Code Section 3344.1 requires any person claiming to be successor-in-interest to the rights of a deceased personality under Section 3344.1 register the claim with the Secretary of State's Office. This is not a mandatory filing, however.
There is some question as to how those rights should be value and taxed at the time of death. If holograms become profitable, the IRS might start looking into taxing them. This may not be too different from commercials, endorsements and other publicity which can be very valuable assets worth taxing at death.

Grantor Retained Annuity Trust (GRAT)
Tax specialists are paying attention to how half a dozen of Facebook's top names, including founder Mark Zuckerberg, appear to be using a perfectly legal maneuver called a grantor-retained annuity trust, or GRAT, to avoid at least $200 million of estate and gift taxes on their own Facebook shares.
A grantor retained annuity trust may be an effective means for a wealthy client who wants or needs to retain all or most of the income from a high-yielding and rapidly-appreciating property to transfer the property to a child or other person with minimal gift or estate tax. GRATs are particularly indicated where the client has one or more significant income-producing assets that he or she is willing to part with at some specified date in the future to save federal and state death taxes and probate costs, to obtain privacy on the transfer, and to protect the asset against the claims of creditors.
A GRAT is created by transferring one or more high-yield assets into an irrevocable trust and retaining the right to an annuity interest for a fixed term of years or for the shorter of fixed term or life. When the retention period ends, assets in the trust (including all appreciation) go to the named "remainder" beneficiary (ies). In some cases other interests, such as the right to have assets revert back to the transferor's estate in the event of the transferor's premature death, may be included.
Facebook's prospectus cites eight separate "annuity trusts" set up by insiders Dustin Moskovitz, Parker, Sheryl, Reid Hoffman, Michelle Yee (Hoffman's wife) and Zuckerberg over the past four years. All told, these trusts hold about 22 million shares that will be worth more than $690 million if Facebook goes public at $31.50 a share, the middle of its projected range.
GRATs provide a fixed annuity payment, usually expressed as a fixed percentage of the original value of the assets transferred in trust. For example, if $100,000 is placed in trust and the initial annuity payout rate is 6 percent, the trust would pay $6,000 each year, regardless of the value of the trust assets in subsequent years. If income earned on the trust assets is insufficient to cover the annuity amount, the payments will be made from principal. Therefore, the client-transferor is assured steady and consistent payments (at least until principal is exhausted).
All income and appreciation in excess of that required to pay the annuity accumulate for the benefit of the remainder beneficiary (ies). Consequently, it may be possible to transfer assets to the beneficiary (ies) when the trust terminates with values that far exceed their original values when transferred into the trust and, more importantly, that far exceed the gift tax value of the transferred assets.
Facebook offers a good vehicle for describing the inner working of GRATs to sidestep estate and gift taxes.
In essence, these trusts transfer asset appreciation from one taxpayer to others, virtually tax-free.
The benefit can be huge. If the Facebook insiders didn't use GRATs for those shares, but held them until they died or gave them away to friends or relatives after the offering, then the gift or estate tax owed on the shares would be more than $200 million. (This calculation assumes a $31.50 share price and the current top gift- and estate-tax rate of 35%; rates are scheduled to rise to 55% next year.)
The gift tax value of the transferred assets is determined at the time the trust is created and funded using the "subtraction method." The gift tax value is determined by subtracting the value of the annuity interest (and, in some cases, other retained interests, such as the right to have the assets revert back to the transferor's estate if he or she does not live the entire term of the trust) from the fair market value of the assets transferred in trust. How the annuity interest and any other retained interests are valued depends on who the remainder beneficiary (ies) is (are) and who retains the annuity and other interests relative to the transferor. There is a more restrictive and less appealing set of valuation rules when family members are beneficiaries and certain family members retain interests in the property both before and after the trust is created than when unrelated parties are involved.
Here is an example, using figures from the Facebook offering document: Zuckerberg and Moskovitz each disclosed "annuity trusts" holding 3.4 million and 14.4 million Facebook shares, respectively. The value of each share when the trusts were set up was less than $1.85, according to the prospectus.
After contributing their stock to the GRATs, the two founders would, over time, take payments equal to the original value of the gift plus a small return. Without knowing information that's unavailable-such has how long the trusts will run or exactly how they are structured-it's impossible to say what payments have already been or will be made.
But it is possible make an educated guess as to the appreciation that's being shifted from the two founders' estates. Given a $31.50 share price, a conservative estimate of it is $29 per share, or about $100 million for Zuckerberg and more than $415 million for Moskovitz.
At current top rates of 35%, that means estate-and gift-tax savings of about $35 million for Zuckerberg and $150 million for Moskovitz. Other Facebook insiders and investors appear to be saving $20 million or more with their GRATs.
What if Facebook stock declines? The stock would then be returned to the original owner.
The person who sets up the GRAT is not really worse off, because he paid little or no tax in the first place. Either he wins or it's a tie-except for the lawyer's fees. The principal risk with a GRAT is that the owner will die before the term is up.
If family members are involved, the gift tax valuation rules of the Internal Revenue Code may apply. Under these rules, certain types of retained interests, such as the right to have trust assets revert to the transferor's estate in the event of the transferor's premature death, may be valued at zero when computing the gift tax value of the transfer. As a general rule, every retained interest but a "qualified interest" is assigned a value of zero for gift tax valuation purposes.
Since the GRAT permits payment of both income and trust principal to satisfy the annuity payments you have retained, the GRAT should be treated as a grantor trust for income tax purposes. This means you (the transferor-annuitant) are taxed on income and realized gains on trust assets even if these amounts are greater than the trust's annuity payments. This further enhances this tool's effectiveness as a family wealth-shifting and estate-tax-saving device. In essence you are effectively allowed to make gift tax-free gifts of the income taxes that are really attributable to assets backing the remainder beneficiary's interest in the trust.
By making assumptions about income to be earned by the trust in the future, and future capital growth, it is also possible to project the future value of the principal remainder that will be payable to the beneficiaries at the end of the term of the trust. If limited partnership interests, minority stock interests, or other fractional or non-controlling interests have been contributed to the GRAT and appropriate discounts claimed for lack of voting power or lack of marketability, it may also be useful to illustrate the future economic growth of the pre-discounted value of the principal, and to compare the present value of the remainder for gift tax purposes (including appropriate discounts) with the projected future value of the principal remainder (without discounts).
A successful GRAT requires several ingredients: a person worth millions-or potential millions-who wants to avoid gift or estate tax and is willing to part with assets to do so; an asset that will rise in value while in the trust; and, if possible, low interest rates.
With these elements in place, the taxpayer sets up a GRAT with a set term of two years or longer and gives the asset to it before its value surges. Set-up costs include appraisal and legal fees.
Over the life of the trust, the person who set it up gets annual payments adding up to the asset's original value plus a return based on a fixed interest rate determined by the Internal Revenue Service. That is currently 1.6%, near a record low.
Meanwhile, ideally, the asset soars in value, and that growth is outside of the grantor's estate. When the GRAT's term ends, the asset goes to the beneficiaries-usually into another trust set up for their benefit.
The result: no gift or estate tax on the appreciation, even though it has been transferred.
One question remains: neither Zuckerberg nor Moskovitz have children. So who are these trusts' beneficiaries? It is possible to name unborn children-as well as future spouses and current friends or relatives-as beneficiaries of a GRAT.
Power Of Attorney
Although this blog is focused primarily on matters of interest involving California probate, there are related topics worthy of discussion.
For example, while probate is the California court's supervision over the transfer of property from the deceased person's estate to the rightful heirs or beneficiaries, when that person is still alive he or she may not have the ability to make decisions about the property belonging to him or her. When we are alive but incapacitated (by a stroke, heart attack, auto accident, debilitating disease or some other reason), someone ought to be given the power to make decisions regarding our property when we are not able to make those decisions ourselves.
In those instances, a durable power of attorney for property management and financial affairs is useful. That type of California document "endures" our incapacity and continues to remain in effect. The person named in the durable power of attorney – the attorney in fact – steps into our shoes and is empowered to make decisions regarding our property.
There are basically two types of California durable powers of attorney. One becomes effective immediately upon being signed. In that case, the attorney in fact may exercise his or her powers even when we may still be competent. So, when using this type of power of attorney, be sure to give the power to someone who will not misuse it.
The second type of durable power of attorney becomes effective upon our becoming incapacitated. The power "springs" up when and as needed. The primary draw-back to a "springing durable power of attorney" is the common requirement that the attorney in fact must also present notes from two physicians declaring our incompetency. Getting those type of notes may be a challenge which could render the durable power of attorney ineffective.
For more information, call a California attorney. Call Mitchell A. Port at (310) 559-5259.

We like much about this wine but must admit to a misgiving or two for, while it is fruity and focused and charged with plenty of youthful brightness and bounce, it leans out as it goes and its acidy bones tend to stick out a bit at the finish. It wants a little more fruity extract to fill in the spaces that need filling, yet it is still a useful, slightly smaller-scaled Chardonnay that will serve nicely with meaty white fishes, and it may take on a little more breadth as it ages.
The 2012 Chardonnay exhibits attractive notes of pineapples and orange blossoms, medium body, good acidity and a fresh, lively mouthfeel. It should drink well for 2-3 years.
Expressive, clean aromas of apple, stone fruits, tarragon, basil and honeysuckle. Nicely concentrated and plump, even a bit glyceral in the middle, but with a slightly disjointed sweet/sour quality today. This wine came into better harmony with time in the glass; I'd give it 6 to 12 months before pulling the cork.
Apricots, honey, wild flowers, sweet spices and butter all flesh out in a rich, inviting 2012 Chardonnay Napa Valley loaded with personality. The the 2012 is open and textured, partly because of the generous vintage as well as the winemaking style. This is a lovely showing from Frank Family.
This Chardonnay needs a few more months to come around. It's tart with acidity, along with oak and tropical fruit flavors that have plenty of potential, but haven't meshed together yet.
Features clean, fresh, vibrant green apple, pear, spice, citrus and honeysuckle flavors that are refreshing and persistent. Drink now. (Web-2014)
Named 2012 Winery by the Year from the Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine! The new Chardonnay release from Frank Family is sourced from the Carneros, in the southern Napa Valley, and displays its signature volume and length, with ripe peachy and tropical citrus fruit aromas and flavors, a lush and creamy mid-palate, and layers of toasty oak spice. A Napa Valley classic.
