When should I start saving for my child's education?This depends on how much you think your children's education will cost. The best way is to start saving before they are born. The sooner you begin the less money you will have to put away each year. Another advantage of starting early is that you'll have more flexibility when it comes to the type of investment you'll use. You'll be able to put at least part of your money in equities, which, although riskier in the short-run, are better able to outpace inflation than other investments in the long-run. How much will my child's college education cost?It depends on whether your child attends a private or state school. For the 2010-2011 school year, the total expenses (including tuition, fees, board, personal expenses, and books and supplies) for the average private college are about $35,636 per year, and about $15,213 per year for the average public college. However, these amounts are averages: tuition, fees, and board for some private colleges can cost more than $55,000 per year, whereas the costs for a state school can be kept under $10,000 per year. According to the College Board, over the most recent decade, the largest one-year increases in average published tuition and fees at public four-year colleges and universities were 11% beyond inflation in 2003-04, and 9.3% beyond inflation in 2009-10. The inflation-adjusted increase was under 1% in 2008-09, and is 4.5% for 2011-12. However, proper planning can lessen the financial squeeze considerably, especially if you start when your child is young. It should also be noted that in 2010-11 the average amount of aid for a full-time undergraduate student was about $12,455, including more than $6,500 in grants that don't have to be repaid. How should I invest my child's college fund?As with any investment, you should choose those that will provide you with a good return and that meet your level of risk tolerance. The ones you choose should depend on when you start your savings plan-the mix of investments if you start when your child is a toddler should be different, from those used if you start when your child is age 12. The following are often recommended as investments for education funds:
What is the "American Opportunity Tax Credit"?The American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOC) was extended for through tax year 2017. The maximum credit, available only for the first four years of post-secondary education, is $2,500 for tax years 2012 to 2017. You can claim the credit for each eligible student you have for which the credit requirements are met. Income limits. To claim the American Opportunity Credit your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) must not exceed $90,000 ($180,000 for joint filers). To claim the Lifetime Learning Credit, MAGI must not exceed $60,000 ($120,000 for joint filers). "Modified AGI" generally means your adjusted gross income. The "modifications" only come into play if you have income earned abroad. Amount of credit. For most taxpayers 40% of the AOC is a refundable credit, which means that you can receive up to $1,000 even if you owe no taxes. Which costs are eligible? Qualifying tuition and related expenses refers to tuition and fees, and course materials required for enrollment or attendance at an eligible education institution. They now include books, supplies and equipment needed for a course of study whether or not the materials must be purchased from the educational institution as a condition of enrollment or attendance. "Related" expenses do not include room and board, student activities, athletics (other than courses that are part of a degree program), insurance, equipment, transportation, or any personal, living, or family expenses. Student-activity fees are included in qualified education expenses only if the fees must be paid to the institution as a condition of enrollment or attendance. For expenses paid with borrowed funds, count the expenses when they are paid, not when borrowings are repaid. What is the "kiddie tax"?In the past, parents would invest in the child's name in order to shift income to the lower-bracket child. However, the addition of the "kiddie tax" mostly put an end to that strategy. For taxable years beginning in 2013, the amount that can be used to reduce the net unearned income reported on the child's return that is subject to the "kiddie tax," is $1,000. The same $1,000 amount is used to determine whether a parent may elect to include a child's gross income in the parent's gross income and to calculate the "kiddie tax". For example, one of the requirements for the parental election is that a child's gross income for 2013 must be more than $1,000 but less than $10,000. For 2013, the net unearned income for a child under the age of 19 (or a full-time student under the age of 24) that is not subject to "kiddie tax" is $2,000 (up from $1,900 in 2012). What is a Coverdell Education Savings Account - Section 530 Program (formerly Education IRA) and who is eligible for one?In 2013, you can contribute up to $2,000 each year to a Coverdell education savings account (Section 530 program) for a child under 18. These contributions are not deductible, but they grow tax-free until withdrawn. Contributions for any year (say 2012) can be made through the (unextended) due date for the return for that year (April 15, 2013). Only cash can be contributed to a Section 530 account and you cannot contribute to the account after the child reaches his or her 18th birthday. Anyone can establish and contribute to a Section 530 account, including the child, and you may establish 530s for as many children as you wish. The child need not be a dependent. In fact, he or she need not be related to you, but the amount contributed during the year to each account cannot exceed $2,000. In 2013, the maximum contribution amount for each child is phased out for modified AGI between $190,000 and $220,000 (joint filers) and $95,000 and $110,000 (single filers). If you have insufficient savings for your child's education when he is close to entering college, what should you do?Many families find themselves in the same boat. Fortunately, there are ways to generate additional funds both now and when your child is about to enter school:
What types of grants are available for college?Grants-the best type of financial aid because they do not have to be paid back -- are amounts awarded by governments, schools, and other organizations. Some grants are need-based and others are not.
What types of grants are available for college?There are various student loan programs available. Some are need-based, and others are not. Here is a summary of loans:
How can I increase the amount of financial aid my child is entitled to?Here are some strategies that may increase the amount of aid for which your family is eligible:
How can I save taxes on college savings?If you decide to invest in your child's name, here are some tax strategies to consider:

Why Get Tested?
To diagnose an infection with hepatitis A virus (HAV) or to evaluate the need for or response to the hepatitis A vaccine
When to Get Tested?
If you have symptoms of an infection with and/or have been exposed to HAV; if you have chronic liver disease; or if you have received the HAV vaccine
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Hepatitis A is a highly contagious liver infection caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV). It is one of several various causes of hepatitis, a condition characterized by inflammation and enlargement of the liver. Hepatitis A is one of five "hepatitis viruses" identified so far, including B, C, D, and E that are known to cause the disease.
Hepatitis A is spread through food or water contaminated with the virus or by coming in contact with an infected person. While hepatitis A can cause a severe, acute disease, it does not cause a chronic infection as do some of the other hepatitis viruses. If you are exposed to hepatitis A, your immune system produces antibodies in response to the virus. This test detects hepatitis A antibodies in the blood.
While hepatitis has many different causes, the signs and the symptoms are the same. In hepatitis, the liver is damaged and unable to function normally. It cannot process toxins or waste products such as bilirubin for their removal from the body. During the course of the disease, bilirubin and liver enzyme levels in the blood can increase. While tests such as bilirubin or a liver panel can tell your doctor that you have hepatitis, they will not tell her what is causing it. Antibody tests for hepatitis viruses may help determine the cause.
If you are exposed to hepatitis A, your body will first produce hepatitis A IgM antibodies. These antibodies typically develop 2 to 3 weeks after first being infected and persist for about 2 to 6 months. Hepatitis A IgG antibodies are produced within 1 to 2 weeks of the IgM antibodies and usually persist for life. Because hepatitis A IgM antibodies develop early in the course of infection, a positive hepatitis A IgM test is usually considered diagnostic for acute hepatitis A. A total hepatitis A antibody test detects the presence of the IgM and IgG antibodies and may help determine if you have been infected in the past and have some immunity to the disease. A test for hepatitis A IgM may be part of an acute viral hepatitis panel that may be used to determine which virus is causing symptoms when viral hepatitis is suspected.
A vaccine is available to help prevent hepatitis A. According to the CDC, cases of hepatitis A have dropped by 89% since the introduction of the hepatitis A vaccine in 1995. In 2007, just under 3000 cases of acute hepatitis A were reported, the lowest to date.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

A Carnival of Buncombe
Oh, we may say our colleges are the best in the world while we secretly believe they're an overpriced rip-off, but leave it to Thomas Frank in The Baffler no. 23 to ask whether they're the best in the world at committing the rip-off. Welcome to America five years after the financial crisis. It's a place "made possible by buncombe," as David Graeber explains here. And it's a time of magical thinking, as Susan Faludi says in her exposé of the narrow brand of feminism on offer from Sheryl Sandberg's positive-thinking tract Lean In.
Luckily, we have Jacob Silverman to burst the techno-bubble that is South by Southwest; Ann Friedman to explain why we're "All LinkedIn with Nowhere to Go"; and Quinn Slobodian and Michelle Sterling to report from Berlin "How Hipsters, Expats, Yummies, and Smartphones Ruined a City." Our midyear issue contains world-defining fiction by Adam Haslett and genre-bending prose by Thomas Sayers Ellis about Lou Beach's surreal cover art. The carnival's all here. From Seth Colter Walls on Jean-Paul Sartre to Farran Nehme on Buster Keaton, from Dubravka Ugrešić's dreams of Wittgenstein to Richard Byrne's "Nod to Ned Ludd," The Baffler gives you the latest trends in cultural news and retail opinion. Step right up!
A Poet's Guide to the Assassination of JFK [the Assassination of Poetry]
A Nod to Ned Ludd
Robert Southey and his fellow reactionaries were right to be affrighted in May 1812. The day before he wrote the passage above, British prime minister Spencer Perceval had been gunned down in Parliament. And while it quickly became apparent that Perceval's murder was the work of a lone assailant—and a businessman, at that—the machine wreckers who went by the name of Luddites had been sending death threats to Perceval and others for months. . . .

Hotel was easy to find, easy to check in to and the room was modern and clean with a good bathroom. Balcony over looked a new building that was under... construction and noise started at about 8am. Breakfast was listed as being free at this hotel, but was told on arrival breakfast was not included. Hotels.com have reimbursed us the cost of our breakfast. Only real annoyance was the white, super bright LEDs on the AC unit that switched on and off as the compressor did waking us up. Found a sticker eventually to put over it. by a Hotels.com guest on 06/06/2013

Chinese online market to bring in $11.9 billion during 2013
Niko Partners expects the Chinese online market to bring in $11.9 billion in 2013 despite a decline in casual, MMO and social gaming. The market in this sector grew from $10 million in 2001 to over $9 billion in 2012. The analyst firm expects growth to slow between now and 2018, but still expects it to add over $2 billion in total revenue each of those five years. The firm also noted that titles such as League of Legends and online shooters are rather popular with 18-24-year-old males, helping revive the Internet café sector. Thanks, GI International.

Sylvester interviewed about the Patriot Act on 'Arizona Week'
Douglas Sylvester
Interim Dean Douglas Sylvester spoke on 'Arizona Week,' a program of Arizona Public Media on KAET-TV, about the impact of the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 on civil liberties and freedoms.
In the
aired on Sept. 16, Sylvester said, since the passage of the Patriot Act by former President Bush freedoms have decreased for American citizens. With the extension of the Patriot Act by President Obama last May, he said, freedoms will continue to decrease.
"For a very long time the law was very strict in attempting to curb the ability of government to engage in surveillance of American citizens…especially for anti-terrorism efforts between the individual being investigated and information being sought," Sylvester said. "So what the Patriot Act really did across the board was lower the standards that were necessary to show the individual's connection to terrorism before they could be investigated."
He said this change of policy increased the ability of the federal government to go into homes and offices, both physically and virtually.
Sylvester, a professor and Faculty Fellow in the Center for Law, Science & Innovation, was named Interim Dean of the College of Law in May 2011. He previously was Associate Dean for Faculty Research and Development, and was responsible for building an environment that fosters faculty scholarship, organizing speaker series, mentoring junior faculty, and seeking innovative ways to increase the faculty's visibility.
Sylvester has published, taught and lectured on issues of intellectual property law and commercialization, international law, emerging technologies and privacy.
In 2007, Sylvester was appointed Special Consultant to a National Academy of Sciences panel charged with reforming the U.S. Census. He was the founding Faculty Director of the innovative Technology Ventures Clinic, which introduces students to transactional legal practice in high-technology sectors.

Hello, everybody.. how was your week in FInland?
I hope everybody had a great time in Pornainen!! and that you can tell part of your experience in your blog. What was the best for you?' what was the worst? Is there anything you will never forget??
For me, that was the best week this school year. I learned a lot from my partners Lea and Pannu, and from the rest of teachers I had the chance to meet. I liked to see the school, the classrooms, some books and everything related to teaching in Finland.
I also enjoyed the trips to Helsinki and Hamelinna, the boat to Suomelinna, the landscape with the high trees and the lakes, and of course the saunas...
I also enjoyed listening to Catalan students teaching Catalan words and songs to the Finns and appreciated the effort all of you made to speak in English most of the time..
what did I like the most? the sauna and the bath in the cold lake in Lea's uncle's cottage... something I'll never forget!
What didn't I like? I don't really know... perhaps that I missed my family.....
What would I change?? I will wait to read your articles before answering this question
TO Catalan and Finnish STUDENTS:
Write your article about your week in Pornainen.
Some homework.... to keep you busy...

Alleged victim testified in priest's trial
A Miami jury has awarded more than $100 million to a South Florida man who alleges he was sexually abused as a teen by South Florida priest Neil Doherty.
"It has been tough," said Andres Susana, the alleged victim, at a news conference with his attorney Thursday. "If it happens to somebody individually and they don't come forward, I would understand why."
"We now we have a measure of what a jury thinks about these cases, and what a jury thinks the damages are like," said attorney Jeffrey Herman.
By all accounts, the verdict is the first to be reached in a lawsuit filed against a priest personally. The jury awarded $10 million to compensate Susana for mental anguish and loss of income because of it and $90 million in punitive damages.
Doherty, who is currently in jail in Broward County on charges involving other alleged victims, worked with Archdiocese of Miami for decades, and has a long list of men who have come forward to accuse him of drugging and raping them when they were vulnerable teens looking for a father figure.
"He was a serial predator who, on a daily basis, I believe, was prowling for kids and was being served up victims through his role as a priest," Herman said.
Susana testified at his trial.
"I gave them a vivid picture of what I've been through, and the outcome was the outcome. Obviously, I made an impact," Susana said.
