"How To Avoid a War with Iran"
Op-Ed, Foreign Policy
May 21, 2012
Authors: Matthew Bunn, Professor of Practice; Co-Principal Investigator, Project on Managing the Atom, Abbas Maleki, Associate, International Security Program
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security; Managing the Atom; Science, Technology, and Public Policy
Observers would be forgiven for dismissing negotiations over Iran's nuclear program as Kabuki theater. Despite years of on-again, off-again efforts, after all, fears of war continue to simmer.
Such frustrations are understandable -- but they may not be entirely justified. Despite real obstacles, there is a serious chance for progress if both sides come to the table willing to compromise and focused on a step-by-step approach that gives each side real gains, builds confidence, and allows more time for talks on the harder issues. The next round of negotiations between Iran and world powers, slated for May 23 in Baghdad, is crucial -- though only the start of a long road.
No one could claim these negotiations will be easy. Iran and the United States have been locked in mutual hostility since Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution, and this enmity has produced deep mistrust and tough political constraints on both sides. In a U.S. presidential election year, compromise will be difficult, as no candidate can be seen as "soft" on Iran -- and in Iran, which has a presidential election next year, no faction can be seen as advocating retreat in the face of Western pressure. For a deal to work, both sides have to see it as genuinely serving their national interests.
Nevertheless, as an American and an Iranian, both of us patriots, we believe that a negotiated deal is possible. Although genuine clashes of interests are at stake, we believe our countries would be better served by such a pact, however imperfect, than by continued stalemate or military conflict. For Iran, the status quo means ongoing sanctions, limited access to foreign investment and technology, and the looming danger of military strikes. For the United States, stalemate means no negotiated limits on the Iranian nuclear program, continued high oil prices (reflecting the risks of conflict), and no resolution of U.S.-Iranian disputes over terrorism, Israel, and more.
If the confrontation deteriorated into a military conflict, it would be a disaster for both countries' security. Strikes by the United States or Israel would risk an unpredictable regional conflagration and could convince Iran to redouble its nuclear efforts and build covert sites that would be hard to find and strike.
To open the path to an accord, the parties must combine the realism of small initial steps with a vision of a long-term rapprochement. Early steps should be designed to build confidence on both sides that it is worth continuing the process, and to buy time for further talks.

---Update---12/3/2011--- This post has been pinned like crazy on Pinterest and because of that a lot of readers have tried these out and have had a lot of questions. So I wanted to answer them as best as possible.
--- I felt like soaking was better than boiling but some sticks may take longer to soak then others. The shorter, thinner ones are going to be harder to bend so just work them gently, re-soak and repeat.
--- You will break some. Plus I think some batches of sticks from the manufacturers break easier then others.
--- Be sure to let them dry completely! If you don't they will expand. Also, the modge Podge or paint that you use will make them expand a bit too. I reccomend putting them in a smaller diameter cup than you need so that when they expand they won't be to big.
--- I bend them into the cup as gently as possible and then press with my fingers to mold it into the shape of the cup. If you have just few splinters it will still work. After letting it dry just sand down the splinters.
--- Last of all, be patient and have fun!!! Use your imagination! The possibilities are endless!
Thank you so much for reading! XOXO
Good afternoon! All 3 of my kids are sleeping right now so its an even better afternoon than usual! I thought I had better hurry and sneak downstairs and let you all know how I made these super cute bracelets before any of them woke up!! I was browsing blogs last week and Someday Crafts featured another blog called Suzy's Artsy Craftsy Sitcom who had made some bracelets from Popsicle sticks. Yep that's right Popsicle sticks!!! Who knew you could make something super cute out of something so simple!! To start out I bought some craft sticks from Hobby Lobby that were 8 inches long and a wavy shape. I wanted to spice them up a bit! Next I tried 2 different techniques to soften the wood. First I soaked them in water for about 3 hours to make them pliable. The second time I boiled them in hot water for about 15 minutes. Boiling them was faster but I found that it darkened the wood and seemed to make them more brittle. So, I will stick with soaking them for a few hours. Next carefully bend them into the inside of a cup. I used a cup that had about a 2 1/4 inch diameter. You will break some! Its just the nature of this project so plan accordingly. After letting them dry for about 24 hours I pulled them out of the cup and took some scrap paper that I had cut to fit and modge podged it onto the wood. Next, sand the edges so they are all flush and then coat with modge podge. I let this coat dry really well and then applied another coat on the outside and a coat on the inside. You just have to let it dry completely and its done!! I am extra excited about these because I can actually wear them! I am allergic to metal so I don't get to wear much jewelry or I get an ugly rash. Use your imagination and decorate them anyway you would like! I hope you enjoy! I also wanted to let you all know that I am fiddling around with the idea of opening an Etsy Shop and selling a few of my favorite creations. What do you all think? Should I do it? I may also redesign my blog soon as well, so if you come by and it looks a little funky wait a few days and come back. Hopefully then it will be done! XOXO

Guillermo Ochoa has won the battle to start in goal for Mexico in their FIFA World Cup opener against Cameroon on Friday.
The 28-year-old goalkeeper, who will leave relegated French club Ajaccio when his contract expires, edged Jesus Corona and Alfredo Talavera for the spot.
Miguel Herrera's decision to name Ochoa was the highlight of his team, announced by the Mexican Football Association on Twitter on Thursday.
Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez was also left out and will begin on the bench as Herrera looks set to play a 5-3-2 formation.
Strike pairing Giovani dos Santos and Oribe Peralta were preferred by Herrera for the Group A clash.
Ochoa has started just twice for Mexico since October last year, with Herrera constantly changing his goalkeepers in recent times.
The last time a goalkeeper started two matches in a row for Mexico was in their two-legged World Cup play-off against New Zealand in November.
In the seven games since, Herrera has swapped and changed before finally settling on Ochoa.
Hernandez was given a chance to impress but missed a host of chances in a 1-0 friendly defeat to Bosnia-Herzegovina earlier this month.
The forward has not scored for Mexico in more than 11 months and Herrera returned to the pairing of Dos Santos and Peralta in last week's friendly loss to Portugal.
Full Mexico team:
Goalkeeper: Guillermo Ochoa
Defenders: Paul Aguilar, Francisco Rodriguez, Hector Moreno, Rafael Marquez, Miguel Layun
Midfielders: Jose Juan Vazquez, Andres Guardado, Hector Perrera
Forwards: Giovani dos Santos, Oribe Peralta

Passion Pit plays with childlike enthusiasm
There were more than a few moments during Passion Pit's show Thursday at the Riverside Theater when a jaundiced observer could wonder if the music was actually aimed at children.
Sure, the Massachusetts quintet began its performance around 10 p.m., but frontman Michael Angelakos exuded the manic energy of a kid who, just before bedtime, had gorged on all the candy he got trick-or-treating the previous night. »Read Full Article(2)

The restaurant, at 135 E. National Ave., is next to La Merenda. Owners Laura and Tom van Heijningen began work on it last year, and it's targeted to open in late spring -- perhaps May -- or early summer. »Read Full Blog Post(9)

- Abstract
- The attachment behaviour of Staleya guttiformis DSM 11458T on poly(tert-butyl methacrylate) (P(tBMA)) polymeric surfaces has been studied. The electrostatic charge of the S. guttiformis cell surface (measured as zeta potential via microelectrophoresis) was -43.18 mV. S. guttiformis cells appeared weakly hydrophilic as the water contact angle measured on lawns of bacterial cells was found to be 55 ± 4.9°. It was found that while attaching on P(tBMA) surfaces, S. guttiformis cells produced extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) as observed from atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. The AFM high resolution imaging revealed the nano-topography of the 'free' (the EPS that is produced by the bacterial cells, but no longer directly attached to the cells) EPS associated on the cell surface and also found on P(tBMA) surface. The 'free' EPS exhibited granular structure with lateral dimensions of 30-50 nm and a vertical nano-roughness of 7-10 nm. Another type of the EPS secreted by S. guttiformis cells appeared as a hydogel substance, presumably polysaccharide that formed a biopolymer network that facilitated bacterial attachment.

Using tooth picks
The worst habit you could possibly have when you have food lodgement in the mouth is using a tooth pick to get rid of it. We often try and use this as an acceptable habit even socially but few things are grosser than watching people pick out food bits after meals. If you have a cavity get it fixed. We have numerous cases where the toothpicks have either injured the gums and caused a larger infection or even worse broken in the cavity and triggered of even more pain. So stay safe from dental emergencies do not use tooth picks! while it's important to prevent food lodgement in the mouth and keep your mouth clean use things like brushes interdental brushes and floss sticks or dentists to help you do the same without harming you!
Using a hard or medium brush.
The oldest myth we have seen is brushing your teeth with a hard or medium brush. Please terminate this habit right away ensure you switch to a soft brush at the earliest.
We do not need more teeth ruined or worn off due to overzealous brushing. We see cases with the entire left side worn down and sensitive and I can tell the person is a right handed vigorous brusher. The softer the brush the better it bends and cleans between teeth as well. The gums also recede due to repeated trauma from the hard bristles so save your mouth from these constant attacks in the name of cleaning.
Scrubbing your teeth
The same principle applies when you switch from a hard to soft or extra soft brush don't apply so much pressure that the teeth and gums are still braving the injury.
You need to brush gently as though cleaning glass the force being minimum the reach and coverage being maximum!
So scrubbing is a habit we need to stop.
Not brushing at night
One of the best things we can do to avoid the dentist or any dental troubles is brushing at night. When it comes to cleaning your teeth frequency matters more than force. Ensuring you clean every 12 hours makes bacterial attacks that cause decay inactive so whenever we skip brushing at night we may not realise but it's definitely costing us.
Popping painkillers
The first sign of dental pain and we instinctively choose to ignore it hoping it will go away and if it doesn't we want to go ahead and pop a painkiller till it does. Masking the problem will actually make it bigger -while we all know this we prefer to accept the instant relief the medication provides over the tedious dental visit that may end with bad news. But imagine if we had gone at the very first sign of trouble most likely we would get away with a dental cleaning -the later we go the more often we need to go for extensive treatments.
Let's try and muster the courage to nip these problems in the bud -a habit to develop show up at the very first sign of trouble.
Do it yourself dentistry (diy) at home
We have all been our own dentists at some point!
From self medication to oral applications and home remedies when all else fails we make an appointment.
A few things are harmful and should be used with care when attempting our own dental care.
We recommend mild things like oral rinses or applications which relieve pain but do not use aspirin or any other pain killer to crush and put in the site, that can cause burns.
Also clove oil is a safe remedy but not cloves which can be sharp and hurt your cheek.
Do not try to remove shaking teeth or attempt any procedures the bleeding can be profuse and the damage severe.
In case of trauma ice to freeze the blows and water to clean the wound will work best.
In the age of technology and information let's not fall prey to easily avoidable dental habits that harm you more than they help you.
Write to us or call us at 9209200024 if you have any queries.

Here are habits to implement today to maintain that perfect smile for you and your family tomorrow
As women at work or at home, we are responsible for the health of those around us. If you are a compassionate and caring mother, daughter, sister or wife looking after the dental health of your family becomes imperative to their well being.
Here are some useful habits that can go a long way in keeping you and your family smiling for years.
#1 go soft automatic
Rev up your brushing-use an automated tooth brush. This maybe true for not only you as a woman but for your family. Make sure you switch them to an automatic or motorized brush with soft or extra soft bristles. This works best since it takes the guesswork out of brushing and improves your and your children's technique even if they're sleepy in the morning.
#2 dental emergency kit
Keeping a dental emergency kit loaded with some essentials like a basic dental painkiller (as prescribed), clove oil, some dental floss and a toothpick (not a habit recommended by us but when things get lodged and cause pain it maybe the last resort)
#3 vitamin check
Best way of ensuring good tooth and bone health is to ensure good levels of vitamins vitamin d3, calcium especially if you're beating menopause and even iron, b complex to prevent anaemias which can be detected orally. Deficiencies of vitamins and essential minerals can make your family more susceptible to oral health problems.
#4 gift a smile
Gift your dependents a great smile be it preventive treatments for your young ones like our decay protection programme which ensures they never have to feel dental pain like we have, or the braces intervention campaign which helps guide teeth to proper positions at an early age. More questions about your young ones dental health
For the elderly who missed out on a lot of preventive dental work can now enjoy the benefits of latest technology giving them fixed teeth instead of removable dentures.
#5 start a trend-family oral health checkup
Mark a day in your calendar a public holiday or the beginning of the year a time that you can easily remember and as a family get an annual checkup to not only ensure that you do not suffer from any dental problems but also early detection of any upcoming medical issues can be done.
How to effectively handle work related stress
The statistics on stress at workplace are staggering with half of respondents in studies reporting that they face higher than normal stress levels at work. Stress is a silent killer and can lead to serious health issues like stroke and heart attack. Stress at the workplace could be due to excessive workloads, unclear responsibilities, lack of control, unrealistic deadlines and noisy work environment.
While it is a good thing to be competitive and excel in whatever you are doing, it is also very important to learn to tackle stress and take life easy. Remember, we live only once! here are some simple and effective ways to handle workplace stress:
1. Seek support at work
Research has shown that having one good friend at work reduces the chances of quitting. Sharing your thoughts with another person not only reduces the stress levels but also might lead to discovering new ways to handle tough situations. Take proactive steps to be more friendly and sociable at work.
2. Manage work better
Try prioritizing better and not expecting perfection in every task. In case your role is over-loaded, try talking to your manager to reduce the load or if possible, delegate some work. Accept that you have certain limits to your productivity and do not try to prove yourself by over-working.
3. Get moving
It is a proven fact that exercises in any form reduces stress levels. Try to exercise for half an hour daily in the form walking, swimming, playing a sport or running. You can take short walking breaks at work that can add up to half an hour in a day.

4. Try breathing exercises
Breathing deeply for four counts on inhale and exhale can reduce stress levels immediately. You can try alternating breathing exercise i. E. Long inhale with one nostril and exhaling with the other nostril, which brings focus and energy in the morning before starting work.
5. Take a power nap
10 minutes of shut eye goes a long way in recharging your tired brain. Any longer than 15 minutes will end up making you groggy. Just put your head down on the desk, and clear your mind of all thoughts for 10 minutes.
6. Eat right
Food has a big role to play in determining our stress levels. Avoid processed food, sugar and high amount of refined carbs like flour, white rice etc. Maintaining your blood glucose levels by eating more complex carbohydrates that are slowly digested like ragi, jowar, bajra gives you steady energy levels throughout the day.

7. Get enough sleep
Over-worked employees often cut back on sleep and try to squeeze in work at night. Over the long term, this practice can severely impact your health and leads to more stress. A restful night's sleep of at least 6 hours is mandatory for all adults. Lack of sleep causes irritability and diminished ability to deal with stress. Avoid looking at laptop, tv or phone screens when you are trying to fall asleep.
You have to take charge of your own work-life balance and draw the line where you feel uncomfortable since no one will do it for you. Over-working might give benefits in the short term in terms of recognition and promotion, but it causes emotional, mental and physical burnout in the long term. Stay healthy, stay happy.
Are you the one who lives on burgers or packaged foods? well, then it's time for you to check your diet. These delicious food items that you die for contain excess carbohydrates and unhealthy fats that are extremely dangerous for your health. Most of these food items contain excess of carbs, fats, added sugars and salt. These items do not have sufficient nutritional values. They only offer you high calories that are harmful for the body and its various organs. Researchers have found that when most of these food items were given to lab animals, they yielded dangerous results, offering negative nutritional value to them. Prolonged exposure to these food items can affect the health of the heart, gastrointestinal organs and lead to obesity.
According to the robert wood johnson foundation, it has been found that most people underestimate the number of calories intake at a fast-food selling outlet. A 2013 study published in jama pediatrics reveals that individuals consume more calories in restaurants than at their respective home. This trend is quite dangerous. It is responsible for the occurrence of a number of diseases.
Here's why you should avoid fast foods:
Save your digestive and cardiovascular systems: fast foods are packed with unhealthy amounts of carbohydrates and fats. When these are consumed, our digestive system breaks down these carbs into sugar or glucose. The glucose is then released into the blood. As the blood is loaded with sugar, pancreas releases insulin hormone into the body. Insulin regulates the transportation of the sugar to cells. As the sugar reaches various cells, pancreas releases another hormone-glucagon. It commands the liver to make use of the sugar. Now, when excess sugar is produced in the body due to intake of fast foods, the balance between insulin and glucagon is hampered and the level of sugar in bloodstream changes. Consequently, you develop type 2 diabetes.
Check your weight and heart: the added sugars and unsaturated fats in the fast foods lead to obesity. You consume more calories and as a result of which your body weight increases. This is quite dangerous for your health. Under such circumstances, you tend to develop chronic heart diseases due to the increasing levels of cholesterol in your body.
Your kidney is at risk: fast foods often contain excess salt. The intake of fast foods changes the level of sodium in the body. Sodium is responsible for maintaining the fluid content in the body. Increasing fluid levels due to intake of excess sodium in the form of salt exerts pressure on the heart muscle and causes high blood pressure. Besides, excess sodium also damages the kidney.
Protect your respiratory system:
According to a study in journal thorax, children who eat excess fast food are at increased risk of developing asthma and rhinitis. In fact, increased body weight puts extra pressure on your respiratory organs and causes difficulty in breathing.
Affects central nervous system: intake of junk food affects the brain synapses and the molecules that are related to the process of memory and learning in both children and adults.
Yellow teeth ruining your smile? see what's the solution it's not always whitening!
January is around the corner and along comes a new year with its numerous resolutions and promises on improving ourselves. Be it the latest diet or the promise to workout we all want to look and feel our best. If your dental resolution is to stop living with a yellow smile then here's a combination of home remedies and dental treatment tips to make you smile bright and white this new year.
Depending on the existing colour of your teeth and how bright you want your teeth to be, we have here some options ranging from the mildest to the most impactful colour change.
#1. Light yellow teeth: clean better!
Plaque and other food deposits can make your teeth look unclean and discolored. Most often the original white of your teeth can be restored by a simple clean up procedure that washes away all the discolored food particles.
#2. Yellow to brown teeth: eat better!
An indian diet with turmeric coupled with our addiction to anything from tea, green tea, coffee, red wine to even smoking can lead to excessive staining of our teeth. While it may seem impossible to avoid what we are habituated to it's equally necessary to compensate by frequent cleaning and whitening procedures based on your frequency and level of exposure to these staining substances.
#3. Natural white: naturally
Home remedies which have no side effects like a pinch of baking soda mixed with crushed strawberries or 3-4 drops of lemon are often used to whiten teeth by scrubbing away the stained particles. Malic and citric acid present in strawberries and lime respectively gives an instant whitening effect without harming the natural layers of the teeth.
#4. Frequent yellowing: brighten at home
If you're looking for more than just a natural clean white colour but want it done with as little chemical exposure as possible then home bleach is the best option for you. Removable, transparent, custom made plastic moulds of your teeth can be made in just one session. You can then put in a few drops of a low concentration gel bleach into these as they snugly fit onto your teeth. Keep them in the mouth for 45 minutes daily for up to 7 days. This procedure is done as directed by a registered dentist. This gives you a bright white colour with minimal or no side effects and the additional benefit is that it can be repeated just before an occasion or every time you feel there is yellowing of teeth.
#5. Brilliant white: in under an hour!
If you want nothing less than super bright then a very standard and recognized procedure is that of the office bleach done in the dental chair in under 45 minutes. Here we use a more concentrated bleach to get you noticeable and long lasting results. Done in cycles every 10-15 minutes to show you the colour improvement and prevent side effects and discomfort. Certain precautions must be observed for 7 days after the bleach and it is recommended once annually to maintain the colour.
A word of caution for the over the counter products that claim to work brilliantly to whiten teeth but overuse or unsupervised use of the same may lead to irreversible tooth damage.
Even with this array of information and multitude of options available for your convenience- a consultation with your dentist for your perfect white smile, will work best before you decide to take matters into your own hands.
You could have yellow teeth due to one of the following reasons:
Genetically yellowed or dull when formed.
Age-related reduction or thinning of enamel and exposure of dentin.
Excessively stained diet or habits.
Appear yellow due to fairer gums, lips, complexion or lighter eye colour.
Dental diseases which stain or eat away your enamel.
Improper oral hygiene habits.
Do let us know what you think. We would love to hear from you!
I have gaps between tooth on upper jaw is there any solution to cover the gaps without any side effects.

Oklahoma had its sixth earthquake at 12:07 p.m. on Tuesday.
The most recent quake was a 3.5 magnitude about 6 miles east-northeast of Luther.
The first, a 3.0, was at 1:45 a.m. three miles west-southwest of Chandler, 21 miles northeast of of Choctaw, 213 miles north of Shawnee and 35 miles east-northeast of Oklahoma City.
The second, 4.3 earthquake, rocked Oklahoma just before 2 a.m. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the epicenter was seven miles east-northeast Luther, 16 miles northeast of Choctaw, 22 miles east of Edmond and 29 miles east-northeast of Oklahoma City. The quake was felt as far east as Tulsa, as far west as Clinton and as far north as Kay County. It was the strongest magnitude earthquake.
The next earthquake occurred at 2:15 a.m. It was a 2.8 , eight miles north-northwest of Boley, 27 miles northeast of Shawnee, 33 miles west of Okmulgee and 54 miles east of Oklahoma City.
That quake was immediately followed by a 3.3 earthquake at 2:16 a.m., just one minute after. The epicenter of that earthquake was four miles east of Luther, 13 miles northeast of Choctaw, 19 miles east of Edmond, and 25 miles east-northeast of Oklahoma City.
The latest quake was a 4.2 about 5 miles east-northeast of Luther, 16 miles northeast of Choctaw, 21 miles east of Edmond and 27 miles east-northeast of Oklahoma City at 5:16 a.m.
USGS geophysicist Jana Pursley says all the quakes were shallow, which is common for the area. She also says it is common for several earthquakes or aftershocks to strike during a short period of time.
An official answering the dispatch line for the Oklahoma County Sheriff's office says they have received no reports of damage or injuries.

Validated estimate range for national average.
View Estimate Details
Parts & Labor Breakdown
Labor: $246 - $311
Parts: $273 - $303
Estimate does not include taxes and fees.
Best Practices
We recommend that struts be replaced in pairs.
Prior to replacement of the struts/shocks, a full inspection of the Mercedes-Benz 300CE steering and suspension should be performed to identify any needed repairs. This will cut down on the labor costs when compared to replacing the worn parts separately.
We recommend a four-wheel alignment when struts are replaced. The new struts can change the vehicle's ride height, which will change the wheel alignment.
Common Symptoms
Struts may need to be replaced due to oil leaks, knocking noises, or poor ride quality.
Last step before receiving your estimate:
* Estimate for all Mercedes-Benz 300CE model years. Get a more accurate price by entering in your year.

By attorney Astrid de Parry, Special to THELAW.TV
Divorce happens!
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, there is one divorce for every two marriages since the year 2000. According to the Florida Supreme Court: "The institution of marriage has been a cornerstone of western civilization for thousands of years and is the most important type of contract ever formed." Clearly, some people do not revere the institution of marriage as much as the courts do. Most attorneys encourage their clients to revisit their wills in the event of a subsequent marriage or divorce. This is not just because the attorney wants to make more money, but rather, because the law attaches independent significance to these events, which may or may not be consistent with your estate plans.
What if you die first?
Consider the typical married couple today. As soon as they get divorced, any provisions in their wills in favor of the divorced spouse become void by operation of law. As soon as they remarry, the law gives them the right to receive a share of their new spouse's estate, in the absence of a valid marital settlement agreement to the contrary. Let's say you and your wife have mutual wills that leave everything to each other and then to the children upon death of the surviving spouse. If you die first and your wife fails to protect the children by entering into a property settlement with her new husband, your children will have to share her estate with the second husband if she dies before he does.
What is the surviving spouse's "elective share" of the "elective estate"?
It doesn't matter if the second marriage lasts 50 years or 50 minutes. In the absence of a valid prenuptial or postnuptial agreement to the contrary, the surviving spouse will receive an "elective share" or a "pretermitted spouse's share" of the estate. The surviving spouse of a person who dies domiciled in Florida is entitled to receive an amount equal to 30 percent of the fair market value of the "elective estate" after deducting all claims paid or payable from the "elective estate" and all mortgages, liens, or other security interests on property included in the "elective estate." This is called the surviving spouse's "elective share."
What is the surviving spouse's "pretermitted share" of the probate estate?
Similarly, when a person marries after making a will and the spouse survives the testator, the surviving spouse is entitled to receive a share of the probate estate as if the person had died intestate (i.e., had made no will), unless the will was made in contemplation of marriage or some provision was made for or waived by the surviving spouse by prenuptial or postnuptial agreement. This is called the "pretermitted spouse's share." Thus, if your wife fails to make a new will after she remarries, her second husband will be entitled to claim 50 percent of her probate estate, even if her old will left everything to your children. Furthermore, even if she makes a new will after she remarries, her second husband will be entitled to claim his "elective share" (i.e., 30 percent of her "elective estate"), against the will in the absence of a valid prenuptial or postnuptial agreement to the contrary.
You can protect your children by planning for the second marriage today!
Why would anyone choose 30 percent of the "elective estate" over 50 percent of the probate estate? Because the "elective estate" includes property that passes outside of probate including, but not limited to, the decedent's ownership interest in POD accounts, joint tenancy property, trust accounts, the cash surrender value of life insurance policies, pension plans, retirement accounts, and even certain property transferred during the one-year period before death. Nowadays, most people have as much money invested in assets that will pass outside of the probate process, but the surviving spouse can count those assets in calculating his or her "elective share" of the "elective estate." In summary, the law will protect your surviving spouse after you die. It's up to you to protect your children by planning your estate before you enter into any new marriage contracts.
The author, Astrid de Parry, is a DeLand, Fla., estate planning attorney.

Milwaukee Chamber Theatre turning 40 with special season
Given Milwaukee's thriving theater scene, it's hard to imagine the landscape in 1975, when Montgomery Davis and Ruth Schudson launched the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre as what was then only the second year-round Milwaukee theater company — along with the Milwaukee Repertory Theater — hiring Equity actors.
Under artistic director C. Michael Wright — to whom Davis handed the baton in 2005 — the Chamber is celebrating its 40th birthday with a five-play season titled "Something Old, Borrowed and New," in which past Chamber hits will share the stage with new plays. It all gets underway with "Master Class," a collaboration with Milwaukee Opera Theatre and Carroll University beginning Aug. 7. »Read Full Article

Goddard College: Biomass forum funding falters
PLAINFIELD A state official has said he has no interest in attending a public forum about Goddard Colleges proposed biomass heating plant, putting the meetings future in jeopardy as town officials said having such a representative is the only way they will consider offsetting any of the forums cost.
At Tuesdays Select Board meeting, town officials considered a request submitted by Karen Bouffard, one of the neighbors and an opponent of the proposed plant, asking the town to pay a $750 stipend for a speaker to come March 1 to talk about the dangers of nanoparticles. The speaker, Dr. Bill Sammons from Williamstown, Mass., is a pediatrician who has toured the country describing health hazards from biomass plants.
Construction of the plant is on hold as two cases are being heard in the Environmental Court in Berlin. One is an appeal of the Act 250 permit given to the project, and the other is an appeal of Plainfields Development Review Board permit for the school to build the plant.
On Town Meeting Day in March, residents will vote on a nonbinding resolution asking whether they oppose construction of the plant until nanoparticle pollution from it can be proven to be safe.
At the meeting this week, neighbor and opponent of the plant Rick Levy gave his reasons for wanting the speaker to come to Plainfield.
The idea is to gather as much information as possible before this thing goes forward, he said. Its pretty clear that the amount of effort and money expended by Goddard far outweighs the available funds to the people that are opposed to this plant and who stand to be most severely affected by it.
Levy said the opponents cannot afford the cost of the speaker themselves and were requesting the money as townspeople.
There should be some attempt by the town to ensure that there is a balance reached between the power and money of Goddard and the town, he said, adding that the school would be using taxpayer money in part to build the plant. If one side is spending taxpayers money, why not the other? Goddard is attempting to spend everyone to death to get this plant through. ... Its another example of big money treading on little people.
Select Board Chairman David Strong said it was unfair to say the town has not stood up and invested in the process. He said the town has spent thousands of dollars answering Goddards legal arguments that challenge the authority of the Development Review Board to make a decision on the plant.
Strong admitted there was a legitimate concern about the health effects of breathing in nanoparticles from certain combustion processes.
The board denied the $750 request, however, saying any discussion about nanoparticles or the plant should have both sides of the argument in attendance since there are those in town who support the plant.
Board member Bram Towbin also said that if the town gave the money for the presentation, it would look as if the town openly opposed the plant, which would go directly against the Development Review Boards decision to grant the plant a permit.
The option was left open for the town to give some funding if the meeting is an open forum where the state Agency of Natural Resources could present what it knows since its charge includes to protect the people of the state from air pollution.
That option appears to be closed since an official with the agency has said the state has no interest in attending such a forum.
Richard Valentinetti is director of the air pollution control division of the Department of Environmental Conservation with the agency. He said Thursday he did not know what information the state could add to the debate since the science is not really there for nanoparticles.
We dont have the expertise at the state level to talk about them at all, Valentinetti said.
He said research about nanoparticles is taking place but, as of yet, no one has really shown a cause-and-effect relationship between the particles and adverse health conditions.
No one at Goddard College was available for an interview, but Faith Brown, the colleges chief finance and administration officer, did release a statement saying the school is open to talking about the issue.
This project has been through a stringent Act 250 review process and public forum where experts have weighed in, and it has obtained all relevant state and local permits. These materials are a matter of public record, she wrote. Goddard is glad to share with the citizens of Plainfield any information that will help them understand what the experts have said and why Goddard has come to believe this woodchip plant is a far better choice than our current 23 oil burning furnaces.
Its unclear whether a Goddard representative would attend such a forum.
