Beck rails against millions of jobs that wouldn't exist without the stimulus
Research ››› ››› SHAUNA THEEL
Glenn Beck attacked President Obama over job creation, claiming that the stimulus was ineffective. However, independent and private analysts agree that the employment levels are significantly higher than they would have been without the stimulus.
Beck declares the stimulus a failure at creating jobs
Beck calls stimulus ineffective, attacks Obama over job creation. On the October 27 edition of Fox News' Glenn Beck, Beck criticized Obama's record of creating jobs and claimed that the stimulus has been ineffective.
Independent and private analysts: Stimulus raised employment by millions
CEA: ARRA raised employment "by between 2.5 and 3.6 million." In its fourth quarterly report on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, the White House's Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) stated that "as of the second quarter of 2010, the ARRA has raised employment relative to what it otherwise would have been by between 2.5 and 3.6 million. These estimates are broadly consistent with the direct recipient reporting data available for 2010:Q1."
CBO estimates stimulus increased employment by up to 3.3 million jobs. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated in August that as of the second quarter of 2010, the stimulus had "[i]ncreased the number of people employed by between 1.4 million and 3.3 million."
Independent analysts agree that recovery act significantly raised employment. In its quarterly report, the CEA included figures from independent analyses that also credited the recovery act with increasing employment:
Blinder and Zandi: "Without the government's response ... payroll employment would be less by some 8 1/2 million jobs." In July, former Federal Reserve vice chairman Alan Blinder and Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi issued a report citing analytic models to demonstrate that the "multifaceted and bipartisan" response to the financial crisis, including the Troubled Asset Relief Program and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act had a "huge" effect on real GDP, jobs, and inflation, and "probably averted what could have been called Great Depression 2.0." Blinder and Zandi estimated that "without the government's response" to the financial crisis, "payroll employment would be less by some 8 1/2 million jobs.
Administration estimated stimulus would increase employment by between 3.3 and 4.1 million jobs by the end of 2010. In a January 9, 2009, report on the job impact of a "prototypical" stimulus package "in the range that the President-Elect has discussed," former CEA chair Christina Romer and vice-presidential economics adviser Jared Bernstein estimated that a stimulus package would raise employment by between "3.3 to 4.1 million jobs" by the end of 2010. The report clearly notes that this estimate is calculated "relative to the no-stimulus baseline."

A blanket of thick fog has caused a number of international flights to divert from Sydney Airport.
The pea-souper descended on western Sydney on Tuesday morning and didn't initially affect flights to and from the airport in the city's south.
But airport staff confirmed that a number of inbound international pilots had elected to divert to different airports as a precaution.
It was not immediately clear how many flights were affected or to which airports they had diverted.
The Bureau of Meteorology said it didn't expect the fog to affect Sydney Airport.

As Mayor Rob Ford sought to turn the page on a scandal-ridden narrative at City Hall, a source in his office described the sudden resignations of George Christopoulos, the mayor's press secretary, and Isaac Ransom, the deputy of communications, as "no big loss."
The source criticized the former colleagues and offered a very different version of events regarding what led Toronto Police homicide investigators to interview Mark Towhey, the mayor's former chief of staff, and David Price, his director of operations and logistics.
According to one account, a tip obtained by Mr. Price potentially linking a video that purports to show the mayor smoking crack cocaine to a murder prompted Mr. Towhey to call police.
However, the person inside the mayor's office said that conversations between police and Mr. Price had nothing to do with the alleged crack video.
Meanwhile, the head of the homicide squad has said the interviews were not linked to a homicide.
The comments add to a growing body of claims by sources who will not go on the record in the deepening turmoil around Mayor Ford.
After a full-day meeting of his executive committee, the mayor called a news conference — but he had no intention of addressing the latest developments in the scandal.
Instead, the mayor spent several minutes blasting the transit-funding plan announced Monday by provincial transit agency Metrolinx, which he said would "slap new taxes on the back of hard-working families."
The mayor denies using crack cocaine and says a video does not exist.
When question time rolled around, the focus was right back on the drug allegations, first reported by U.S. gossip website Gawker and the Toronto Star. Journalists at the two publications claim to have seen a cellphone video of the mayor smoking out of a crack pipe. The National Post has not seen the video and therefore cannot verify its authenticity.
"I've addressed those concerns. If you have any questions about what I've just talked about, I'd be more than happy to answer questions," Mr. Ford said. As reporters shouted more questions about the allegations, Mr. Ford ended the news conference.
A timeline of the Ford drug scandal
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is embroiled in a scandal involving alleged use of crack cocaine. A timeline:
May 16: American website Gawker.com and The Toronto Star report seeing a cellphone video taken by a drug dealer that appears to show Rob Ford smoking crack cocaine. The reports cannot be verified.
May 17: Ford dismisses the allegations as "ridiculous" and calls them a Star smear job.
May 18: City councillors begin calling on Ford to address the allegations properly. Gawker starts a campaign trying to raise $200,000 to buy the cellphone video.
May 19: Ford cancels his weekly show on Toronto radio station Newstalk 1010.
May 20: Late-night TV host Jay Leno mocks Ford, saying to be fair, "there's not a lot to do in Toronto."
May 21: Other late-night hosts, Jimmy Kimmel and Jon Stewart, make fun of Ford and the scandal.
May 22: Ford's brother, Coun. Doug Ford, blasts the media and Gawker, and defends the mayor.
May 23: Ford's chief of staff Mark Towhey leaves job, escorted from city hall by security.
May 24: Ford breaks silence to deny he uses crack cocaine and lambaste the media. He takes no questions.
May 25: The Globe and Mail alleges that Doug Ford was a hashish dealer in the 1980s. Doug Ford denies the allegations and his lawyer calls the Globe's use of unidentified sources "irresponsible and unprofessional journalism."
May 26: Ford appears on his weekly radio show for the first time since the scandal broke, denying the video at the centre of the scandal exists and calling members of the media "a bunch of maggots."
May 27: The mayor's press secretary and his deputy leave his staff. Ford apologizes to the media for his comments about them the day before. Gawker reaches its $200,000 goal to raise funds to buy the video but says it lost contact with the drug dealer reported to be shopping it around the previous week.
The Post confirmed that homicide investigators 10 days ago interviewed Mr. Towhey and Mr. Price, who is a longtime Ford family friend. But sources inside and outside of the mayor's office on Tuesday clashed on the contents of those discussions.
The source in the mayor's office said police interviewed Mr. Price about drug dealing in a Dixon Road building.
According to the source, an anonymous caller to the mayor's office complained about drug dealing at 320 Dixon Rd. The source said that, in accordance with protocol, the tip was passed up to Mark Towhey, then the mayor's chief of staff.
However, another source said that on Friday, May 17, Mr. Towhey got a call from Mr. Price, who wanted to know what would happen if he had learned the location of the alleged crack video.
According to this source, Mr. Price then went on to say that, through his own "investigation," sources had told him the address and the apartment number of a unit where Somali men had the alleged video, and that the owners had been trying to figure out a way to make money off it. Mr. Towhey is said to have told him they "sure as hell are not going in there to get this f—ing thing." According to the source, Mr. Price said his tipster had also suggested that Anthony Smith, who was gunned down in March, was killed to obtain the video. Mr. Smith is pictured in a photograph, provided by the alleged sellers of the video, with his arm around Mayor Ford.
Realizing that the information could potentially be linked to a homicide, Mr. Towhey called the police. By the time he met with detectives on Saturday afternoon, he had come to learn the alleged address of the purported video — 320 Dixon Rd. — and gave investigators that information as well.
"This particular story has a little teeny grain of truth," the source in the mayor's office said. "The only truth is that the mayor's office does get information from time to time. We have a moral and a legal obligation to pass this information on. We have passed on no information about a video. That is an out and out lie."
On the resignations of Mr. Ransom and Mr. Christopoulos, "the writing was on the wall," the source within Mayor Ford's office said.
"Earl [Provost, the mayor's acting chief of staff] tried to talk them off the ledge all weekend. Isaac had his shredder going in overdrive, so it was pretty obvious what was going on. The consensus is it's no big loss, both of them were hiding under their desks most of the time."
Mr. Christopoulos and Mr. Ransom did not respond to requests for comment.

are ST170 hid headlights available w/o yellow indicators???
i really want a pair, but i'm not diggin the yellow indicators.
hella's arent an option cause i'm worried about rocks hitting the projectors.
just let me know if anyone's seen these lights in this description.
The ST170s aren't HID equipped... nor are they recomended for an HID upgrade. Now the signal indicator on the ST170s is amber... but I know you can get a clear lens for them, and replace it.
Here are my HIDs on my SVT... you can hardley see the amber in the turn signal indicator, but that is just the bulb that does that, you can get a set of silver bulbs and lose that look.
ST170s all come with the indicator. Are you just looking for a dual bulb head lamp?
i'm looking for HID's that were optional on the SVT.
Ooooo, those... Mach HIDS. They were the only factory HID headlight on the Focus, and comes with the indicator. See Sonic's post about the bulb color.
As for other options, I think Hella is the only aftermarket producer of xenon HID headlights for the Focus.
Technically you could get them as an option on the ST170...
The indicators don't have an amber lens, the yellow appearance comes from the bulb. If you were to put a LED bulb in, or one of those amber bulbs that doesn't look yellow you wouldn't be able to tell unless it was on.
european-parts.net has black housing ST170's with clear turns....those are the ones that I want....

Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
the distance that a food item travels from the place where it is produced to the place where it is eaten
'We bought a basket of 20 fresh foods from the major retailers on one day last month and tracked the food miles it had clocked up. We found apples from America; pears from Argentina; fish from the Indian ocean; lettuce from Spain; tomatoes from Saudi Arabia; … Our total basket had travelled 100,943 miles.'The Guardian 10th May 2003
Those lovely, red, summer-ripened fruits must have travelled so that you could eat them out of season …
Amid concerns about the environmental impact of transporting food across the world in order to meet consumer demand, in recent years we have started measuring food miles, the distance a food travels from source to consumer. According to statistics presented in the Guardian article cited above:
'Importing one kilogram of out-of-season strawberries from California is the equivalent of keeping a 100-watt light bulb on for eight days.'
Now that's 'food for thought'!
Food miles represent the distance a food travels from its source, i.e. the farmer who grew or produced it, to the consumer who finally eats the food. This distance includes the journey from farm to processor, the journey from processor to retailer and the journey from retailer to consumer. Though the expression is used mainly in the context of discussions about the environmental impact of transporting food long distances, there are other issues raised by food miles too, such as maintaining food freshness and quality, sustainability of third world agriculture (e.g. the routine felling of rainforests in order to plant crops), and the potential security risks posed by importing food from 'unstable' countries.
some experts now take the view that carbon emissions caused by air freight represent only one factor in the 'environmental footprint' of the food systems of rich nations
People who want to cut food miles are usually advised to buy from local producers where possible, eat seasonally, and to look more carefully at country-of-origin labels on food products so that they can choose their purchases accordingly. Recent research however has suggested that the ethical issues surrounding food miles are more complex than they first appeared. Choosing to buy locally could undermine the economic development of third world countries who rely on export horticulture. A 2005 report by Defra (the British Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) showed that it is less environmentally friendly to grow British tomatoes than it is to import tomatoes from Spain, because the energy needed to heat the glasshouses for growing tomatoes in Britain is significantly more than the energy used in transporting tomatoes from Spain.
Some experts now take the view that carbon emissions caused by air freight represent only one factor in the 'environmental footprint' of the food systems of rich nations. They argue that consumers trying to buy ethically should look further than food miles, and think more about fair miles, i.e. how and where food is produced and not just the distance it has travelled.
The expression food mile first emerged in the early nineties, but it has gained currency more recently in the context of escalating concerns about climate change and global warming. It is modelled on expressions like air mile, a unit for measuring how far a plane travels, and nautical mile, a unit for measuring distances at sea.

Pets on Broadway - Helpful and Caring
I highly recommend Pets on Broadway in general and Dr. Griffin in particular. I had a kitten who was very ill and I had been taking him to Harrison Memorial Animal Hospital. He wasn't improving, until I took him to see Dr. Griffen. The staff there was very kind and caring, especially since I was so upset and convinced my little Bond was going to be put down. (He died a few weeks later, due to complications - he'd been sick and struggling since day one and was on the right road, just didn't get started soon enough) Dr. Griffin was great! And so helpful and concerned. You could tell that he loves cats. Everyone was very supportive and the fawned all over my little boy. The service was great! They worked around my schedule and were happy to see me every time I went in, but concerned about the animals. They truly love animals there. They even have an enormous office cat named Maximus. What great people and such a caring, loving environment.posted: February 22nd, 2007

Knowing body language helps you protect yourself from unscrupulous people and avoid unpleasant consequences of being lied to. Here are 12 tips on how to detect lies by body language:
1. Hands and face should be the main object of your observation. If the person is constantly touching and pulling the ear lobe, then you should doubt his honesty.
2. Pay attention to any regular touching of the face (nose, brows, and especially lips). A liar often covers his mouth with his hands or touches it with his fingers.
3. Combing or twisting the hair, as well as any other similar manipulation, speaks of the tension, fear of being revealed and doubt.
4. Pay attention to the biting of lips and nails – your interlocutor is going to lie to you again.
5. Liars tend to continuously smooth their clothes. It can be a shirt collar, cuffs or shoelaces. To do this, they can go to the mirror several times during the evening and look closely to their reflection.
6. If the person is constantly touching the surrounding objects, he is likely to lie to you. Often the person can twist something in hands, such as a box, and look into it, open and close it a countless number of times.
7. Unnatural smile on the face, as well as any uncharacteristic emotion, can betray dishonesty. Often such a manifestation of emotion is more like a grimace, and immediately catches the eye.
8. Crossing arms and legs is a common closed position, which means not only a reluctance to open up, but also a possible lying.
9. A liar usually looks aside or closes his eyes, trying to avoid looking into the eyes of his interlocutor. If he tries to disguise his lies and seem sincere, he suddenly begins staring into your eyes, without looking away for a second. This is a sort of demonstrative gesture saying: "Look into my eyes, I'm honest!"
10. Gestures of a liar often do not agree with each other, for example, responding negatively, he nods in a positive way.
11. If the first reaction of the person to your words does not match the answer, be sure that he is deceiving you, and the first emotion reflects his real attitude.
12. Bending and twisting the arms and the wrists, nervous finger or foot tapping, knees shaking are a direct evidence for a lie.
The person is worrying of being unable to hide his dishonesty. Be careful with him and take the position of the observer, then you can see a lot of interesting external manifestations betraying his dishonesty.

Re: Solve[] for equations?
Are you sure there is a solution? I tried a system of two equations and here
the solution doesn't exist:
eq1 = Rac == R1*(R2/(R1 + R2));
eq2 = Rad == R2*(R1/(R1 + R2));
Timing[Solve[{eq1, eq2}, {R1, R2}]]
{0.*Second, {}}
Mathematica gives the right answer: there is no solution, as can be verified
by hand. Either R1+R2 = 0, which leads to an indetermination in both
equations, or Rac = Rad, which makes the system trivial. However, the
three-equation system does have a solution:
eq1 = Rac == R1*((R2 + R3)/(R1 + R2 + R3));
eq2 = Rad == R2*((R1 + R3)/(R1 + R2 + R3));
eq3 = Rbc == R3*((R1 + R2)/(R1 + R2 + R3));
Timing[Solve[{eq1, eq2, eq3}, {R1, R2, R3}]]
{0.17 *Second,
{{R1 -> (Rac^2 - 2*Rac*Rad + Rad^2 - 2*Rac*Rbc -
2*Rad*Rbc + Rbc^2)/(2*(Rac - Rad - Rbc)),
R2 -> (-Rac^2 + 2*Rac*Rad - Rad^2 + 2*Rac*Rbc +
2*Rad*Rbc - Rbc^2)/(2*(Rac - Rad + Rbc)),
R3 -> (-Rac^2 + 2*Rac*Rad - Rad^2 + 2*Rac*Rbc +
2*Rad*Rbc - Rbc^2)/(2*(Rac + Rad - Rbc))}}}
You may verify the solution by direct substitution of these rules in the
equations. Then, there is no solution for the 2-equation case, but there is
a solution for the 3-equation case. I tried to set up a similar system with
five equations, but it was taking too long to solve before I quit (over 30
minutes). I only wish to point out that there may actually not be a solution
for the 4 equations (and, by the way, 4 equations in 4 unknowns doesn't mean
anything unless they are linear equations).

The Dallas Buyers Club
Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto are Oscar bait in this AIDS drama.
Matthew McConaughey dropped 50 pounds to play a Texas rodeo cowboy diagnosed with aids in 1986 in a real life story. Told he had just 30 days to live, heterosexual Ron Woodroof went almost immediately from denial and gay-bashing into heavy duty educational mode. He ultimately turned to alternative therapies that kept him alive 7 years. He not only prolonged his life, he started illegally importing the alternatives , charging other aids and hiv patients a monthly fee for the treatment.
Along the way, he slowly lost his anti-gay prejudices, befriending a transsexual , played by an almost unrecognizable Jared Leto, who not only also dropped a ton of weight but stayed in character from the moment he arrived on the set.
Jennifer Gardener is also effective as a sympathetic doctor.
Add to this to the 10 best of the year.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
small sedan vs. van
I have a cal 33 which I would recommend to almost anyone. I believe cal are strong and stiff boat with good sailing characteristic.
Irwin, in my openion, is just a different class of sailboat. It should be roomier but perhaps more slouggish, hence the analogy os small sedan and van
I will also recommend pearson and tartan for this range, but cal should has a better price. good luck and good sailing.
I have owned both Cal & Irwin yachts
I had a 1986 Cal 28, she was a fantastic boat, fast well built. The 1989 Irwin I just sold was 38 feet. I am now looking at a 1969 Irwin 32, want a smaller boat as not to have so much money invested. Both are well built, great boats. I don't think you would go wrong with which ever one you get.
Good luck, Capt.Terry
Yes, we have had others suggest a multihull and it would be nice, but my husband and I are both sort of "hooked" on the monohull...we actually like to heel, comfortably anyway and enjoy the feeling of the single hull leaning over as the wind fills the sails. My son Brenden rolls a little, and it doesn't bother him as long as we have padded the sides of his "crib" with cushions and blankets. ( I have never, however, been on a multihull, so I can't say an experience on one would not change my mind!) The other reason we're not looking at multihulls is that there are very, very few to be found in the Great Lakes. I have yet to find one in our price range (up to $25,000.) The other concern is the slip fees for a multihull are sometimes double! Thank you for the suggestion, however, it is still something we are considering.
p.s. I did look again, specifically, for multihulls, especially something like a folding trimaran...and yes, the Corsair is a neat concept, with the folding pontoons and trailerability. It would be very stable and be something similar to what we have now, except no standing headroom, especially in the models that would be anywhere near our price range. (The F-31 is quite pricey!!) Oh, I forgot, STANDING HEADROOM is a big priority...my back is already giving out and I'm just a little on the downside of 40-something.
|Another option you may not have considered is a trimaran, like the Corsair F31. I have a good friend, who is disabled, and he prefers sailing on a multihull, as the angles of heel are much lower. He does have some mobility, and finds that sailing flatter makes it much easier for him. Just a thought.
|JenwebFantastic that you are not letting your son's and your family's situation get in the way of persuing this wonderful pastime. Kudos to you all for that.Without direct experience on either of those boats I'll let others contribute there, but one question you asked was regarding wheel size.Many older boats and boats that were retro-fitted with wheels have smaller diameter wheels because the cockpits were not designed to accomodate them. Newer designs have T shaped cockpits to make room for a larger wheel.The smaller wheels do have a bit of a disadvantage as far as the helmsperson's visibility forward while seated. A larger wheel allows the driver to sit further outboard, with better sightlines, and still comfortably reach the rim of the wheel. Straining to reach a small wheel and still see waves and watch for debris will cause straining and discomfort on even a relatively short leg.Our last boat had a 60" wheel and had terrific driving positions (not to mention looking real cool - though the broker called it an "Ego wheel"!) Our current boat has a 32" wheel in a fairly narrow cockpit, so it's reachable but nowhere near as comfortable as the last boat.So check how well you can see forward when seated comfortably at the wheel to give you an idea of how important it may be, keeping in mind you will spend a lot of time at that position!Good Luck
Cal 34 vs. Irwin 34
We are now looking at 2 boats that are in the length range we desire...(30 to 34 feet.) and somewhat within our price range. The Cal 34 is older (1968) but much more affordable. It has a newer fully battened main, and a spinnaker with gear. The Irwin (1979) has more "creature comforts", but not as nice "sailing" amenities, i.e. original sails, no spinnaker, no genoa cars/tracks, and a much smaller steering wheel (is this important?) and priced about $15k more. We are considering getting a survey of the Cal....
Anyway, what we're really wondering is ...is one of these a more reputable, solid, respectable boat? We're new to sailing and we have little knowledge about different brands of boats. We will be using it to cruise with our kids (2 boys, one, 9 and a very disabled little guy who's 7) in the Northern Great Lakes area. We are upsizing from a 22ft Spirit trailerable. We want to upsize in order to be able to sail more safely in the Great Lakes with my disabled son. (He's unable to walk or even support his head well) Both of the interiors would work for our son,...he could be comfortably lodged in a quarter berth with padding. He loves to go everywhere with us!
Any advice would be appreciated.

These Bose outdoor speakers feature Articulated Array™ speaker design. Inside each speaker are three 2½" full-range environmental drivers arranged to deliver full stereo sound across a much wider area than conventional outdoor speakers.
The result is Stereo Everywhere™ speaker performance for a consistent listening experience as you move from deck to pool to yard—or around your boat. With these exterior speakers you can enjoy consistent Bose quality sound across a wider area, not just one sweet spot.
Weather won't come between you and quality
Our weather resistant speakers have stood up to some of and nature's worst conditions. For more than ten years we've been testing Bose environmental speakers against snow, rain, salt and temperature extremes of 158º F (70ºC) to -40º F (-40ºC). We even put them through 1,200 hours of salt-fog testing, which is twice the demanding Marine Industry Standard. And they come with a five-year limited warranty.
Adjustable, weather-resistant brackets are included so you can mount Bose 151 outdoor stereo speakers vertically or horizontally, depending on your preference.
Expand your Bose® Lifestyle® system outdoors
If you own a Lifestyle® system, you can easily use Bose 151 SE outdoor speakers with an SA-2 amplifier to take your music outside to the porch, pool or patio. You may even listen to music outdoors while different music or movies play indoors, at the same time, from the same Lifestyle® system.
Bose environmental testing simulates exposure to sunlight, rain, heat, ice, salt and water—proof of the extreme conditions these outdoor speakers can endure and still deliver reliable, long-lasting performance.
Articulated Array™ speaker design includes precisely positioned drivers to provide a large, consistent sound field for outdoor listening.
Adjustable installation allows you to mount these exterior speakers horizontally or vertically depending on your preference.
- Stereo Everywhere™ speaker performance produces balanced stereo sound over a wide area. The result of proprietary Bose technologies, these speakers let you enjoy balanced sound throughout the listening area, unlike conventional speakers that radiate sound mostly in a single direction.
- Full-range glass-filled speaker cone (2.5") offers reliable, high quality sound reproduction across audible frequencies—even under extreme temperature and weather conditions.
- Glass-filled polypropylene cabinet provides added yearlong protection against weather extremes.
- Slot-port tuning reduces air turbulence for cleaner and deeper reproduction of music's lower notes.
- Weather-resistant brackets and hardware withstand the rigors of year-round outdoor placement.
- Syncom® computer tested to ensure one of the highest levels of quality and reliability in the audio industry.
Each speaker
12.5"H x 4.5"W x 6"D ( 31.5 cm x 11.4 cm x 15.2 cm )

F07 Successfully coded today... (videos attached)
I coded my 550i F07 today. Only took about 30 minutes.
The following are the options that I successfully coded on my car.
Digital Speed in MPH on Dash (on Board Computer)
Close Trunk from Inside Button
Close Trunk from FOB
Fold Mirrors from Comfort Access (Door Handle)
Fold Mirrors from FOB
Close Windows and Moon Roof from FOB
Disable Driver and Passenger Seat Belt Reminders
Disable Driver and Passenger Seat Disconnect Reminders
Disable Front and Rear Window Disruption - (keep closing when door is opened)
Unlock Doors on Single Push of Start/Stop Button (allows single pull of door handle to exit)
Fog Lights Stay On with High Beams / Flash to Pass
Enable Welcome Lights (Fog lights, License Plate Lights, Taillights, Position Lights (Front Side LED's), Angel Eyes)
Enable VIM (Video-In-Motion)
Remove NAV Startup Disclaimer
Remove Reverse & Sideview Camera Disclaimer
Remove Night Vision Camera Disclaimer
Daytime Running Lights set as Angel Eyes with no Taillights on
The following are the options that I wanted coded, but could not successfully code on my car:
Enable Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
Enable Turn Signals in Heads up Display (HUD)
Clink on links to see videos of the options I chose to code on my F07:
Good stuff. I will be having mine coded the upcoming weekend.
What yr is your 5GT? Did you originally have the option to open the hatch from the inside?
Finally, any suggestions/tips in coding?
Congrats, enjoy you new 'custom' GT!
My car is a 2010.
Originally, the button on the inside only pops the smaller trunk. The FOB will originally open the power lift-gate, but you need coding to close the power lift-gate from either the inside or FOB.
I don't have any "tips", but maybe a suggestion. This was suggested to me by another forum member who coded his car...... Having cameras on at all speeds..... I was on the fence about enabling this option and finally decided against it because once engaged, the reverse camera would have to be shut off manually. As original or default, it will shut itself off when the car is put in D (drive).
I don't understand why more people don't code their cars. Not having to ACCEPT all the disclaimers is reason enough for me!
FYI: The guy who coded my car has done hundreds of BMWs and Mini Coopers over the past three years. Currently, he can code many E-series BMWs remotely. Apparently, in a few months, he will have the ability to code many F-series remotely too!!!
Is the coding done thru the fob or odbc?
I am not sure I completely understand your question... but with coding, I have options that use my FOB, the on-board computer (BC), and the door handle (comfort access).
For example, as seen in the videos that I posted, I can use the FOB to fold mirrors and roll windows up or down. I can also use the door handle (comfort access) to do these same things. I can use the on-board computer (BC) to display digital speed (mph).
I can use the FOB to close the power lift-gate. I can also use the FOB to enable lights when the car is unlocked (I think this option is called "Welcome Lights).
Hope this answers your question.....
The coding is physically done using a BMW e-net cable, data files, and e-sys. You should browse through the coding thread on the F10 forum. Very informative and is step-by-step.... (thanks guys)!
However, I had an experienced coder do my coding because I am prone to accidents and I am not that computer savvy.
Not too sure where you live in NY, but I am sure if you started a thread requesting help from a fellow forum member, you would get overwhelmed with people willing to help you.
Thank you for the information
What you had done is almost exactly what I would like done. I also have a 2010 GT. I would like to know who I could contact to get it done. I am in Atlanta and willing to travel some. I will look at the F10 thread but last I looked I didn't see anyone near me.
Just sent you a PM
There is a e-net cable on sale on eBay for $50. See eBay item no. 130731306086.
Thanks to forum member Grilodan, I finally was able to get my F07 coded today. It all went smoothly. Like the original post, I was not able to get the Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) nor the Turn Signals in Heads up Display (HUD) to work.
Interestingly, he mentioned that there has to be a way to activate the function of opening the hatch with the interior button (like the 2012+s can do) - but more work needs to be done to find out how.
I had mine done in Atlanta. The HUD turn signals worked but the trunk release inside still operates the small trunk to open but it does shut the large trunk when it is open. The tire pressure shows only a dashed line. He also tried the speed limit detection since I have lane departure warning but it did not work either.
I do like the other addition features as shown in the other post but I still wonder why BMW doesn't allow these settings. Those that are required by law I understand but the others I do not!
CC Brown
It is good to see other F07 owners are getting their cars coded to their liking. It kind of gives the car a custom feel....well, a little bit, anyway. Apparently, turn signals in the HUD has been figured out...the guy that coded my car has subsequently contacted me and told me that I can code that option now too. No word or luck with the TMPS for the F07. Maybe that too will be figured out soon.
If anyone is on the fence about coding, I say go for it! It really does make a big difference and eliminates some of the frustrations associated with driving the F-series.
Can someone reference a link for the turn signals in HUD operation? I will be going back to my coding guy, after Bimmerfest East, as the always-on of the auto high beam assist feature didn't seem to take.
Now if someone can just figure out opening the large hatch from within the cabin...
Still waiting on my coding guy to put turn signals in HUD. But no worries, it can definitely be done. Will post info about it after it is successfully coded on my car....hopefully much sooner than later....
For HUD turn signals, it's 3 steps:
Step 1:
(For all steps - make sure you're using the F01 coding in E-Sys - don't use F10. Our car's programming is more similar to a 7-series (F01) vs. a 5 series (F10).
Module: KOMBI
Section: 3000 Anzeige_Konfiguration
Function: BLINKER_HUD_ENABLE
New Value: aktiv
Default Value: nicht_aktiv
Save and apply code to car.
NOTE: Every time when you code the "Kombi" module you will get a warning in your cluster and nav screen saying something malfunctioned and you have to take your car to nearest BMW dealer. The warning will disappear once the coding is completed and your date and time will be lost. You'll need to set your date and time every time you code from this module.
Step 2:
Module: HU_CIC
Section: 3000 HMI
Function: HUD_TURNSIGNAL
New value: aktiv / Werte=01
Default value: nicht_aktiv / Werte=00
Save and apply code to car.
Step 3:
Enable "Turn indicator" Check box in Settings=>Heads-Up Display for this to work.
Also just a general heads up for those of you coding based on the F10 v3.0 cheat sheet located elsewhere in the forum, it is generally a good guide to follow and has relevant data for our cars. Toggles between "aktiv" and "nicht_activ" will auto-populate the correct "Werte" value in most cases. In one case though I found that the "Werte" values listed in the F10 cheat sheet were not correct for our cars. Fortunately the software defaulted to the correct values and when I tried to manually change the "Werte" value, upon saving it the car just rejected it anyway and reset the value back from "activ" to "nicht_activ", which of course meant that I could not get the darn thing to work for the longest time until I realized what was happening.
In the specific case I ran across, when I attempted to code Comfort Access and the Key Fob closing the windows / sunroof / mirrors, the values in the cheat sheet were not right. Using the following:
Step 1:
Module: FRM
Section: 3020
Function: ASP_BEIKLAPPEN_BEI_KOMFORTSCHLIESSEN
New Value: aktiv / Werte=01
Default Value: nicht_aktiv / Werte=00
Step 2:
Module: CAS
Section: 3003 FH MASTER
Function: KOMFORTSCHLIESSUNG_FB
New Value: aktiv / Werte=00 (when I loaded these values in the car, the Werte values were opposite what it stated in the cheat sheet. The cheat sheet shows aktiv / Werte 01. My car defaulted to aktiv / Werte 00. If that's the case for you, leave the Werte values alone (don't modify them) and just ensure "aktiv" is set. If you modify the "Werte" value to 01 and save it to the car, it will wind up saving as "nicht_aktiv, Werte 01", which will effectively just re-disable the feature, meaning when you go to test it, it won't work.)
Default Value: nicht_aktiv / Werte=01
Step 3:
Module: CAS
Section: 3003 FH MASTER
Function: KOMFORTSCHLIESSUNG_PA
New Value: aktiv / Werte=00
Default value: nicht_aktiv / Werte=01
Every other cheat sheet value I tried had the Aktiv / Werte01 and nicht_aktiv / Werte 00 correlation correct except these settings. Hopefully this will save you the hour of frustration it caused me. :)
Way to go tonyscv!!!!!! Thanks for the heads up and added information!
Isn't it awesome how everyone shares info on these forums? Helping each other out.... Wish everything else in life could be this easy.
CC Brown, where in Atlanta did you have the car coded? I want to do the same .
I sent private email of the guy who coded my car in Atlanta. I do recommend him after he did my car.
CC Brown
The guy in Atlanta was able to code everything except:
Enable Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
Enable Turn Signals in Heads up Display (HUD)
He said the turn signal in HUD was not even an option in his software for my car even though I have the heads up display. I'm not sure if it is because it was an early 2010 build or what.
After recoding, the TPMS didn't even show dashes as some have reported. Mine shows just the normal status with the color of the tires.
I want to confirm that my 2010 F07 DOES NOT have HUD turn signal capability. BLINKER_HUD_ENABLE is not in the KOMBI and HUD_TURNSIGNAL is not in HU_CIC or anywhere else for that matter. I tried clicking F01 (as you should) and even F10 when connecting using ESYS and it's the same deal... those options are nowhere to be found.
RDC_SAFETY (TPMS temp and psi) doesn't work for me either.
Maybe the KOMBI and CIC need to be firmware upgraded?

New mom with itchy pup, help!
I just joined the forum in hopes that someone else with a GSD could help me better than internet sites!
So I am a new mom to a ~1yr old female GSD named Levy (60lbs). We found her on the side of the road about 2 months ago. She had escaped from someones yard and was dragging 5' of chain from her collar. No tags, no chip, fleas, and both ears infected, we kept her and everything is going great, except the ITCHING! My boyfriend and I are often woken in the middle of the night to her incessant scratching and biting, we are going nuts!
It started about 2 weeks ago, I noticed some itchiness and gave her a bath with dawn since the vet had found some fleas during her spay. I got her a flea collar until we could decide on heartworm meds that would cover the fleas (We recently just started Sentinel which says it kills adult fleas?). This didn't seem to help much. Then about a week ago it got worse after a fall in the pool, a trip to the dog park, and another bath. I thought it was me maybe drying out her skin too much with the dawn. I had never found any fleas until this point, but after looking at where she was itching I found some red irritations (maybe just from itching) and a 2-3 small bumps throughout. I thought maybe she got bit by something at the park so I gave her some benedryl before bed to hopefully let us all sleep better without any luck. I have found ONE flea since, but at this point she is starting to get small bald spots from itching so much. (Maybe shes allergic to the flea bites?) I feed her Simply Nourish by Petsmart, it is very similar in ingredients to the blue buffalo she had for the first month with us. I tried the half and half apple cider vinegar and water in a spray bottle (didn't use the organic unfiltered ACV yet though, heard that might be better), didnt see much relief. Then I made a homemade oatmeal bath (grinded oats, baking soda, and water) which maybeee helped a bit, but she was very focused on eating the soap which proved to be difficult.:mad: Oh! I have also started giving her 2 tbsp coconut oil with dinner every night (for 2-3 days now), I tried rubbing some on her dry spots but she ends up just licking that off too!
I hope I gave you all the info you needed, I would appreciate ANY advice. Specfically home remedies, I dont want to medicate her if I dont have to, and I am a college student, so minimal vet visits are best for my budget :o
First I would take her to the Vet and get a skin scrape done and blood work done to see if there is something else going on.
Maybe she is allergic to something in the kibble you are feeding, some dogs are allergic to chicken. I would switch to a higher quality kibble made without chicken.
I would give her salmon oil daily and I would give her a multivitamin plus pill daily that will also help with her immune system, coat and joints.
I would also stop using the dawn soap on her and get a sensitive skin shampoo made specifically for dogs.
The kibble was also a thought for me too, so I went through the ingredients in her current kibble versus the BB we bought when we found her (pre-itchiness) and the ingredients were almost identical. Both contained chicken as well. Is salmon oil better or have different benefits than coconut oil? My worst worry was mange, but I haven't found much on the sign and symptoms for that yet, that is my greatest worry at the moment.

But on the Sentinel side of things.. from my understanding they kill just the eggs vs actual adult fleas. I use this with Titan in conjunction with Nexgard which is a flea and tick repellant.. this was recommended by my vet to use both because while the heartworm side of it is awesome, the flea portion in Sentinel isn't that great.
I do not know if salmon oil is better than coconut oil but I see salmon oil recommended more than the coconut, again I do not know which is better though.
If you want to know what supplements people use, I created this thread.
I had an Aussie with allergies. First off, mange is not that hard to treat in a young dog, so don't freak about that. I would work with a vet first to see what they find, blood tests etc. A lot of vets out there have keen interest in dermatology, so find one of them. Make sure the flea thing is taken care of and any internal parasites first. I don't think flea collars are that affective. I use advantix II. Then I would go to a limited ingredient diet (LID). Natural Balance has a lot of them. Pick a novel (never before had) protein and carb. There are probably other LIDs. A diet test takes 12 weeks, so don't expect instant results. Use the kibble as treats, no cheating. I actually had a skin test done on my dog and he had lots of environmental reactions. Bigger cities have vets who are dermatologists only. We did shots for a year with no luck and then antihistamines with a little luck. I just managed and it was okay. Actually got better as he aged and I lost him at 13 years old a week and a half ago. But that is my story. It becomes a bit of a mystery at times. Good luck and don't freak out.
This could be so many things. Or a combination of things.
My advise: Start simple with a vet visit. Rule out mites or mange.
Keep using the coconut oil. It can take days to weeks to see the benefit. Try to reduce the bathing as it dries the skin out. If you must bathe use a good conditioner. I really like Bio-Groom Super Cream coat Conditioner. Or, give Levy a good rub down with coconut oil, working into his fur and down to the skin.
If fleas are the problem: you may have to use a topical to get them under control immediately (some on here will have a fit with this advise). you can also try DE (diatomaceous earth) to treat your dog and your house and yard. DE is pet/human safe and homeopathic. There are several threads on this.
Having a dog with a lot of food sensitivities , my best advise is this:
If you think it is food don't try to guess, TEST. I suspected chicken and pork were issues for my girl. I was right. BUT, I was totally thrown when I found out she was sensitive to peanuts, which she was getting peanut butter several time a week. Salmon sensitivity also surprised me as I was giving salmon oil daily to keep her skin and coat healthy and shiny.
You can have your vet test or you can send for the NutriScan test (the one I did).
NutriScan Food Sensitivity and Intolerance Test for Cats and Dogs
I'll be honest it is not cheap. However, I wasted a lot of money on different foods trying to figure it out on my own with no good results. Ended up food testing anyway. Testing up front will save you so much money in the long run. And it will save you and Levy from months of itching, hair loss and misery.
One day at a time. Keep a log or diary of symptoms/improvements.
Don't despair...We are here for you and Levy! Best of Luck!
Hi Kayleecan,
You should probably have some tests run as others have mentioned.
I agree with LaRen to choose a high quality grain free kibble or go raw. Here are a few brands that you may want to try:
Acana Regional's (Grain Free) ACANA PET FOODS | Acana Find a retailer: Store Locator | Acana
Fromms 4 Star (Grain Free) Four-Star Gourmet Recipes for dogs - Fromm Family Foods Find a retailer: Fromm USA Retailers
Nature's Variety Instinct (Grain Free) Nature's Variety: Instinct Grain-Free Kibble Diets for Dogs | Nature's Variety Find a retailer: Find A Store | Nature's Variety
Since 75% of disease or problems begin in the gut, you may want to give your dog a digestive enzyme/pro-biotic combination which also helps build up the immune system:
Here are 2 Human Grade products: Sunday Sunday Sunday Sundae Nutritional Supplement Digest All Plus: The Wholistic Pet
Transfer Factor is a great product for human AND animal!
It may take quite a while to rebuild a healthy immune system.
Most popular natural health products
Dr. Vivienne Matalon, M.D. - "Transfer Factor is in the same class as the most potent vitamins. When do you need it? You need it all the time. And who needs it? Actually, everyone. Not only you as an adult, but also your children and pets. And it's safe. I have not documented one single side effect related to the use of transfer factor."
Scientifically Studied: 4Life Transfer Factor Plus Tri-Factor Formula was developed by 4Life researchers and scientists in an effort to maximize immune system support. Results of an independent study conducted at the Russian Academy of Medical Science conclusively showed that 4Life Transfer Factor Plus Tri-Factor Formula propelled Natural Killer (NK) cell activity to a remarkable 437 percent above normal immune system response.
More info here: Educational Transfer Factor Information page
Here is a guide to using human supplements:
For medicinal purposes, you would need to use the organic apple cider vinegar that has the "mother" in it. Bragg's is a good one. You can usually purchase it at a local health food store.
I would not use and oatmeal based shampoo because if your dog is sensitive to grains, it will only make the itching worse.
If you find out that it is a reaction/allergy to flea bites, I used the 2 following homeopathic's as they both have a different "remedies" in the mixture. You can give one remedy two times in a day and the other one, one time. Then the next day switch it up to the opposite of what you gave the previous day. Homeopathic remedies are given in a "clean mouth" which means no food or water for 20 minutes on either side of the dosages. The remedies come in a dropper bottle, but you don't want to use the dropper to squirt the remedy into your dogs mouth. If the dropper touches the dogs mouth and then is placed back into the bottle, it will "foul" the mixture and it will loose the potency. It's best to drop the liquid on to a teaspoon and then gently lift the dogs lip and drizzle it in. Homeopathic's are absorbed by the blood vessels/tissues in the mouth which which rapidly distributes it through the system.

Women as Global LeadersSunday, March 11th, 2012
Elizabeth Monoian (co-founder, LAGI) will be speaking at the 2012 Women as Global Leaders Conference. She'll be presenting the Land Art Generator Initiative there on Wednesday, March 14, at 3:45PM.
Elizabeth Monoian (co-founder, LAGI) will be speaking at the 2012 Women as Global Leaders Conference. She'll be presenting the Land Art Generator Initiative there on Wednesday, March 14, at 3:45PM.
See the project post about the Land Art Generator Initiative and TAKE ACTION!
Renewable Energy Can Be Beautiful—Expanding Public Awareness Through Art
Video from our presentation at TEDx Pittsburgh. Thanks to Leadership Pittsburgh for organizing this wonderful event.
Presenters at TEDx Pittsburgh, Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, November 19 and 20.
Organized by Leadership Pittsburgh
The Land Art Generator Initiative was presented at the 2011 International Symposium on Electronic Arts (ISEA) in Istanbul. Elizabeth Monoian and Robert Ferry (LAGI Co-founders) presented a paper, "New Aesthetic Energy Infrastructure and the Land Art Generator Initiative" in the Urban Ecologies session, and chaired a panel discussion: Public Art of the Sustainable City, which included presenters: Patricia Watts (ecoartspace), Nacho Zamora (solar artworks), and Glen Lowry (Emily Carr University).
Abstract of the Panel Discussion:
As we endeavor to extricate civilization from fossil fuel dependence, the existential debate over the purpose of art deserves renewed attention in the context of natural ecology and human consumption. Is it possible for works of public art to contribute actively to the solution to the problems that confront us? Can interdisciplinary art inspire, through example, the type of social change required to significantly reduce the negative impact of human consumption on the planet? Papers presented will present examples of projects at various scales that seek to address ecological issues, beyond didactic expression, through the incorporation of technology.
This panel discussion will address the continuum of public art, clean energy precedents, and contemporary technologies. Within this framework we will outline and illustrate the potential that interdisciplinary teams and communities around the world have to expand both the dialogue and actual change.
We'll be speaking at the last International Series Panel of the season:
Tuesday, October 11, 2011 at 6pm
130 Sutter Street, 6th Floor, San Francisco
Here is a link for more information.
We will be presenting the Land Art Generator Initiative (LAGI): Renewable Energy Infrastructure and Public Space. The presentation will take place at Al-Mamoura Auditorium in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday 14 June 2011 at 19.00 sharp. A big thank you to the Middle East chapter of the American Institute of Architects for hosting this talk. For active AIA members, this presentation is worth 1.0 HSW/SD LU.
The presentation is open to everyone. We do kindly request that you RSVP to email@example.com so that the organizers may get a sense of attendance numbers.
We spoke at Interiors UAE on May 9 and presented LAGI, our positive impact design work at Studied Impact, and an overview of the International Living Building Institute's Living Building Challenge.
A great article about the event appeared on Green Prophet.
We'll be participating in the Masdar City Market Day on April 29th. The event is free and open to the public. Stop by between 10am and 5pm on the 29th of April and see the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology's new campus, the first completed phase of the Masdar City development.

Hello! So recently I discovered spite, a siri port for iOS 5.1, and downloaded it. It required a reboot, so after it rebooted, I saw the usual apple logo and decided to boot tethered later. A couple hours later, I checked my ipod and it was still on the apple logo. Having had experience with this when trying h1siri, I decided to boot tethered. It then got stuck on the pineapple, so I looked up some stuff and found two different sources saying to go to Extras-->Preferences-->Boot args and put in "-v". The other person having trouble was told to look at the last line the idevice gets stuck on, and for me, it was AppleM2ScalerCSCDriver: Added framebuffer device: Apple CLCD id: c4155000
Please help! If you need any additional info, please say so.

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger admits that Jack Wilshere is happier in a deeper midfield role - for the moment.
The England international has been a revelation in the Arsenal engine room this season, playing as one half of the 'two' in Wenger's 4-2-3-1 formation. But against Sunderland on Saturday he was shunted forward to fill the 'Fabregas role' just behind centre forward Nicklas Bendtner.
Wilshere struggled to impose himself on the game at first but was more influential once he'd reverted to his usual role after Denilson went off with 28 minutes left, setting up a golden chance for substitute Marouane Chamakh in the latter stages.
"I think at the moment Jack prefers to play a bit deeper because he likes to have the game in front of him where he can have little bursts to make the difference," said Wenger after the 0-0 draw.
"I feel as well he's given a lot and you could see that on Saturday."
Wilshere is fit to travel to Barcelona despite leaving Emirates Stadium with an ankle problem at the weekend. Wenger is not surprised the 19-year-old got a buffeting from Sunderland but he was concerned that Wilshere did not receive more protection.
"He got kicked a lot and what was frustrating is that when he was targeted he didn't get a lot [from the referee]," said the manager. "It's quite surprising because on quite a few occasions the decision was not to give him a free-kick and it was difficult to understand.
"Every good player has to live with being kicked. That means he has to get off his feet at the right moment for a fraction of a second, see what's happening around him, but there were a few fouls on him on Saturday that were not given. That was surprising to me."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Cape Town, Jul 20: Former South Africa wicketkeeper Mark Boucher underwent eye surgery at a Cape Town Clinic on Thursday morning and the three-hour procedure went well without any complications, the player's medical team said.
"Proteas' wicketkeeper Mark Boucher underwent eye surgery at a Cape Town Clinic on Thursday morning," a report posted on the Cricket South Africa (CSA) website said.
His medical team have issued a report, stating: "The procedure went well and took about 3 hours. There were no complications, no bleeding and nothing else unexpected. The important parts of the retina were intact, confirming previous findings.
"The blood which accumulated due to the trauma was removed. The outcome looks very positive and the surgeon is pleased with the procedure."
The Boucher family are extremely grateful for the support they have received from around the world and CSA will keep Mark's well-wishers informed as and when appropriate information becomes available, CSA said.
Boucher was hit on his left eyeball by a bail during South Africa's tour game against Somerset last week. Following this on-field injury while keeping, he was forced to retire from cricket.

Squeaky Tensioner
My Fiance has a 2003 325i and it started having a squeaky noise coming from the engine compartment. You can mostly hear it when it is idling. So from my research sounds like it is a belt tensioner, it probably has the mechanical one, but I have not been in there to see yet. I see that most people convert over to the hydraulic one. My question is this: what is the best way to go about fixing it. First off I see at my local Autozone have a replacement for the mechanical one that has a one year warranty and says it is improved from the original one. Would this be a good option. The problem is that I would go with the conversion but I dont know where or how much that will all cost. Right now with getting married I dont have a lot of extra cash. And if it is a good option to go with the autozone one since it is only $54.
just get the pulley - the conversion kit isn't an improvement its all hype.
You have 2 tensioner pulleys, DAYCO 89133 and 1 idler pulley DAYCO 89089
I replaced all 3 but you can probably get away with just replacing the tensioner pulleys.
rock auto has the cheapest price on these.
This has some good diy info http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthr...ayco+89133+diy

If you are a nonspouse IRA beneficiary
Understand the IRA inheritance rules to avoid paying higher taxes or forfeiting growth.
- Fidelity Viewpoints
- – 12/31/2015
If you are the son, daughter, brother, sister, or even a close friend of an IRA owner who has named you as his or her beneficiary, it's critical that you—and the owner of the IRA—understand the rules that govern IRA inheritances.
The Supreme Court has ruled that an inherited IRA is not eligible for bankruptcy protection (unless there is a separate state law providing such protection). This decision highlights the importance of beneficiary designations for retirement account owners, and the distribution strategies of beneficiaries.
For situations in which creditor protection is of paramount concern, the use of trusts as beneficiaries may grow in popularity. Whatever your situation, a discussion in advance with your attorney or tax adviser may help you avoid any unintended consequences.
"While the rationale behind the creation of IRAs was quite simple, the rules for inheriting and distributing assets upon the death of an IRA owner have become anything but," says Ken Hevert, senior vice president of retirement products at Fidelity. "If IRA owners and their beneficiaries are not careful, they could end up paying higher taxes or penalties and forfeiting the opportunity for future tax-advantaged growth."
Here is what you need to know about inheriting IRA assets as a nonspouse beneficiary. The rules for inheriting IRA assets depend on your relationship to the original IRA owner and the type of IRA inherited.
The IRS generally requires nonspouse inherited IRA owners to start taking minimum required distributions (MRDs) beginning by the December 31 after the year of death of the original account owner, and each year thereafter. Also, distributions from inherited IRAs taken before age 59½ are not subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty in most cases.
Your ultimate course of action will be determined by your age, the age of the IRA owner, your income needs, any creditor protection concerns, and the type of IRA you inherit. Be sure to consider all your available options and the applicable fees and features of each before moving any retirement assets.
As a nonspouse beneficiary, you do not have the option of rolling the assets into your own IRA. If you inherit IRA assets from someone other than your spouse, you generally have two options from which to choose:
|Transfer the assets to an inherited IRA and take MRDs.
When you transfer assets from a traditional IRA into an inherited IRA, sometimes also referred to as a beneficiary distribution account, there are MRD rules to follow, set by the IRS. This means you can withdraw a certain amount of money from your inherited IRA each year, based on your age and life expectancy. In the case of a nonspouse inheritor, MRDs are generally required to begin in the year after the year of death, and these rules require that you withdraw the full MRD amount for each year required. The MRD for your inherited IRA will be calculated using your age in the year following the year of death and based on the IRS Single Life Expectancy table. Other options exist for how the MRD is calculated, or if using the five-year rule—see below.
Note: The beneficiary must be an individual (not a company or a trust), be named by the original owner, and have followed the IRS rules around separating accounts. Different rules apply if you don't meet these three criteria. For subsequent years, the life expectancy factor is determined by subtracting one from each year since the year of death from the initial life expectancy factor.
If the original IRA owner died after reaching age 70½, then you may elect to calculate those MRDs by using your own age (see the discussion above) or by using the original IRA owner's age in his or her year of death. This option may be advantageous if the original IRA owner was younger than you. For subsequent years, the life expectancy factor is derived by subtracting one for each year.
If the original IRA owner died before reaching age 70½ (before MRDs would be required of the original owner), you also have the option of distributing your inherited IRA under the five-year rule. This allows you to take distributions however you like without penalty, so long as all assets are completely distributed from your inherited IRA by December 31 of the fifth year following the IRA owner's death. Discuss with your tax adviser the potential tax implications of this accelerated withdrawal schedule.
If you are listed as a nonspouse beneficiary along with one or more other beneficiaries, it's important to separate your shares of the decedent's IRA in your name and then complete your first MRD by December 31 of the year following the original IRA owner's death. If you don't meet this deadline, your MRD calculation will be based on the oldest beneficiary's life expectancy. If that person is older than you are, you will need to take larger MRDs, which will deplete your tax-advantaged assets more quickly.
When you establish an inherited IRA, be sure your IRA custodian registers the account properly. The account registration should include the name of the person you inherited from, an indication that the account is an IRA beneficiary distribution account, and the inheritor's name. Note that different IRA custodians may have varying interpretations of the IRS's rules regarding account registrations.
If you inherit a Roth IRA that was funded for five years or more prior to the death of the original owner, distributions can be taken tax free. Consult a tax adviser if you feel you've inherited a Roth IRA that wasn't funded for five years before the original owner passed away.
What to do with the money? Once the assets have been transferred to an inherited IRA in your name, you have two options: Leave the assets in the account (with the exception of annual MRDs) or take additional distributions, as discussed above.
If you don't have an immediate need for the money, leaving the assets in the inherited IRA may be the wisest move over the long term (again, subject to the MRD rules). This is because the longer you keep the money there, the longer you will enjoy potential tax-deferred growth, or, in the case of an inherited Roth IRA, potential tax-free growth. On the other hand, when you take money out of an inherited IRA, it will generally be taxed as ordinary income. The more you withdraw from an inherited IRA now, the less you will have to build on for the future.
|Disclaim (decline to inherit) all or part of the assets.
If you decline to accept all or part of the IRA assets you are entitled to, they will pass to the other eligible beneficiaries. If no other beneficiaries exist, the assets will pass in accordance with the IRA provider's contractual defaults. For example, with a Fidelity IRA, the assets will pass to the original IRA owner's surviving spouse and, if none, to the owner's estate. A decision to disclaim IRA assets must be made within nine months of the original IRA owner's death and before you take possession of the assets. This is an irrevocable decision. Therefore, as with any tax-related matter, it's critical that you consult a tax adviser or attorney before disclaiming IRA assets.
Other key points to remember
Determine whether you are listed as someone's beneficiary. While it may be a sensitive topic to broach with loved ones, knowing in advance that you are listed as a beneficiary can help you avoid some potentially costly mistakes. As life events such as marriage, divorce, and death occur, it's in your best interest (and the IRA owner's) to confirm that beneficiary designations are up to date. Remember that IRA beneficiary designations supersede a will.
Request a trustee-to-trustee transfer. Make sure that any assets transfer directly from one account to another or from one IRA custodian to another. There is no option for a 60-day rollover when a nonspouse beneficiary is inheriting IRA assets. If you receive a check, the money will generally be taxed as ordinary income, and is ineligible to be deposited into an inherited IRA you may own at another firm, or back into the inherited IRA that it was withdrawn from to begin with.
Distributions from an inherited IRA can be invested in other accounts. Consider all your options when taking MRDs and other distributions from an inherited IRA. Generally, your distribution is included in your gross income and will be subject to ordinary state and federal income taxes. Once funds are distributed from an inherited account, the money is your own: You choose how to use it, including making a contribution to your own traditional IRA or Roth IRA, if you have earned income and meet the rules for contributions. You can also use it to start investing in a brokerage account.
Commingling of inherited IRAs. If you inherit IRAs from different owners, you cannot combine them into a single inherited IRA. As for commingling IRAs of the same account type, the answer differs when they were inherited from the same original owner, which is allowed. Consult a tax adviser regarding your situation. Distribution rules will vary for entities such as trusts, estates, and charities.
Nonspouse beneficiaries do not have bankruptcy protection with inherited IRAs. Also, note that the Supreme Court ruled that an inherited IRA held by a nonspouse beneficiary is not exempt from attachment by creditors under the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005. While some states have laws that still may protect inherited IRAs, for a nonspouse beneficiary living in a state without such laws, the inherited IRA is effectively now treated as any other account owned by the beneficiary for bankruptcy purposes, and may not be protected under bankruptcy from claims by creditors. It is not clear whether and how this decision affects an inherited IRA held by a spousal beneficiary. Beneficiaries should be reminded to speak with their lawyer or tax adviser before taking any distribution from a retirement account or if they have specific questions regarding protection from creditors.

Editorial: Applaud MCHS for efforts at change
February 16, 2013
Our View
It is encouraging to see teachers at MCHS utilizing new methods to try and improve student performance, especially given the school's recent performance.

Moffat County High School teachers are experimenting with new methods to reach and challenge students. Such changes are necessary for continued improvement in our high school.
This week, Craig Daily Press reporter Darian Warden wrote about new teaching philosophies being adopted at the high school. Teachers have spent much of the fall undergoing training focused on helping them identify desired student outcomes and then working to implement teaching methods to achieve those outcomes. MCHS Principal Thom Schnellinger said the new methods are aimed at engaging students more broadly with specific focuses on initiative and entrepreneurialism, effective oral and written communication, information analysis information and curiosity and imagination.
Such approaches are welcome, particularly in the wake of scores recently given to the high school by Colorado School Grades. The nonprofit coalition of organizations whose stated mission is to give all children access to high-performing schools, assigns letter grades to every school in the state based on academic performance and growth.
Moffat County High School's scores were not good. The school received an overall grade of C-, with a D+ grade in academic growth and a C in academic proficiency. Overall, the high school ranked 257 of 327 high schools in Colorado, placing the school in the bottom quarter of the rankings. Colorado School Grades is merely one measure of school performance, but its rankings are consistent with the most recent accountability report issued to the high school by the Colorado Department of Education.
It is against that backdrop that we applaud the high school's efforts at improvement. Last fall, several high school teachers undertook the acclaimed Education Theory Into Practice training. Out of that training, teachers developed a set of principles to get students more engaged in learning, enhance their technological skills and improve their writing.
At the center of the changes is the school's shift to the Understanding By Design approach to education. Understanding By Design is an education practice that turns the traditional education process on its head. Historically, schools have adopted curriculum based on available textbooks and lesson plans. In Understanding By Design, the process is reversed — first, educators identify what students should learn and then build curriculum and lesson plans designed to get students there.
Understanding By Design is not easy to implement, but schools successfully have used it to improve student performance.
In the age of school accountability, no school can afford to maintain the status quo. School report cards and rating systems do not wholly define a school or a district. But they do reveal opportunities for improvement and change. Teachers must be willing take on such changes. It's good to see Moffat County High School teachers trying to meet such challenges.
