Series: Evolution Basics (35 entries)

The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
Today's Origins News Round-up takes us from some cosmic data on the possible existence of life elsewhere in the universe, to some surprising theories about the origin of life, and some interesting general news and editorial items on science and religion.
Where is human evolution going? Where has human evolution been? A roundup of stories from the past few weeks.
This week in the news: a new conversation about rifts in the Christian church (sponsored by the Colossian Forum), a 46-million-year-old fossilized mosquito turns up in a Montana lake, and more…
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
This entry was originally posted on February 17, 2010. In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.
Astrobiology is the field of inquiry about the origin of life on our planet and the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe. Making a comeback is the theory that life began on Mars and emigrated from there to Earth via meteorites dislodged by collisions with asteroids.
Join astrobiologist Stephen Freeland for a look into the nature of information and the origins of life on earth. (These posts were originally published as a paper in the ASAs academic journal, PSCF, and are reprinted here with permission.)
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
This series features excerpts from biologist Sean Carroll's book, Endless Forms Most Beautiful: The New Science of Evo Devo, a well-wrought account of how the field of evolutionary development biology, or Evo Devo, has shaped our understanding of how animals evolve, by studying their development.
Is the contemporary theory of evolution an example of good science? Biologist Michael Buratovich explore this question in a well-researched two part essay.
The evidence suggests that God has chosen to work through a random process, one which involves the routine creation and destruction of millions of cells that never get used. This is the ordinary means by which God maintains our health. The miracles of healing recorded in the Bible are miraculous precisely because they don't occur by this normal, natural process.
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.

Under the IRS rules, a taxpayer is allowed to deduct expenses related to business use of a home, but only if the space is used "exclusively" on a "regular basis". To qualify for a home office deduction you must meet one of the following requirements:
A separate structure not attached to your dwelling unit that is used regularly and exclusively for your trade or profession also qualifies as a home office under the IRS definition. The exclusive-use test is satisfied if a specific portion of the taxpayer's home is used solely for business purposes or inventory storage. The regular-basis test is satisfied if the space is used on a continuing basis for business purposes. Incidental business use does not qualify. In determining the principal place of business, the IRS considers two factors: Does the taxpayer spend more business-related time in the home office than anywhere else? Are the most significant revenue-generating activities performed in the home office? Both of these factors must be considered when determining the principal place of business. Employees Expenses Deduction Limit You can deduct all your business expenses related to the use of your home if your gross income from the business use of your home equals or exceeds your total business expenses (including depreciation). But, if your gross income from the business use of your home is less than your total business expenses, your deduction for certain expenses for the business use of your home is limited. Nondeductible expenses such as insurance, utilities, and depreciation that are allocable to the business are limited to the gross income from the business use of your home minus the sum of the following:
If your deductions are greater than the current year's limit, you can carry over the excess to the next year. They are subject to the deduction limit for that year, whether or not you live in the same home during that year. Sale of Residence
If the part of your property used for business is within your home, such as a room used as a home office for a business there is no need to allocate gain on the sale of the property between the business part of the property and the part used as a home. However, if you used part of your property as a home and a separate part of it, such as an outbuilding, for business other rules apply such as whether the use test was met (or not met) for the business part and whether or not there was business use in the year of the sale. If you need more information about whether you qualify for the exclusion, please don't hesitate to call us. Tax Deductions Remember however, that an individual is not entitled to deduct any expenses of using his/her home for business purposes unless the space is used exclusively on a regular basis as the "principal place of business" as defined above. The IRS applies a 2-part test to determine if the home office is the principal place of business.
If the answer to either of these questions is no, the home office will not be considered the principal place of business, and the deduction cannot be taken. A home office also increases your business miles because travel from your home office to a business destination--whether it's meeting clients, picking up supplies, or visiting a job site--counts as business miles. And, you can depreciate furniture and equipment (purchased new for your business or converted to business use), as well as expense new equipment used in your business under the Section 179 expense election. Taxpayers taking a deduction for business use of their home must complete Form 8829. If you have a home office or are considering one, please call us. We'll be happy to help you take advantage of these deductions. Share This Guide |

Good Candidates for Medical Tourism
As patients become more innovative about how to save money on healthcare, the prospect of travelling to foreign countries for medical services has spawned an industry called medical tourism. In many cases, the savings realized by seeking care outside the country more than makes up for the travel abroad and even a vacation while there.
Countries like Thailand, Malaysia, India, Turkey, and Costa Rica are increasingly investing in medical tourism as a focus industry for their economies. In many cases, these countries have natural beauty or fascinating history that can attract vacationers for more than the medical service – and places like South Africa even lure patients with "medical safaris." The bang for the buck on saving big money is the main attraction, however.
American travel agents have even gotten into the mix. A cottage industry of travel arrangers specializing in medical tourism can now do everything from booking your airfare and hotel to scheduling the appointment with a surgeon.
With the increasing focus on medical tourism, and costs here in America continuing to escalate, which services are the most popular or best candidates for being done overseas? Before we provide some ideas, keep in mind that it is up to you to ensure the medical services will be credentialed to your comfort level, and that not all services are a good fit with the long flights and activity level that is common during overseas trips.
Plastic Surgery. Places like Egypt and South Africa, among many other countries, have become popular for performing plastic surgery at discounts of 60% or more. Liposuction, for example, can cost as little as 10% abroad of what it would cost here at home. What makes plastic surgery such an appealing service to have done overseas is that many U.S. insurance companies will deny covering a plastic surgery because it may not be medically necessary. If you are going to pay out of your own pocket, shop the globe.
Dental Procedures. Countries such as Hungary and India are drilling a niche in the area of dental services. Major dental services, such as root canals or reconstruction, can cost 50% less or more in these countries, all in a day when more and more people are dropping dental coverage at home because of questionable value.
Joint Replacements. As Americans remain active at much older ages than they used to, things like hip replacements are becoming more commonplace. The twist is that more and more people are having these replacements done in their pre-Medicare years, creating potentially large out-of-pocket costs associated with the procedures. Going to Thailand for the replacement, according to the Medical Tourism Association, will cost you $12,000 in instead of $43,000 at home.
Heart Surgery. While you need to do extra diligence to ensure you are a good candidate to travel for a service like this, and the ramifications of having someone unqualified perform the service are obviously significant, the price difference is hard to ignore. A heart valve replacement, for example, costs $15,000 in Costa Rica versus $160,000 in the United States – a whopping 90% savings. Before you book the trip south, though, check with your local cardiologist to see if he or she will discount their price, perhaps significantly, to keep your service at their shop.
In short, medical tourism is growing for a reason – you can save lots of money on the exact same service. But be sure that you are a good candidate for the travel, and that you are choosing a service that is done with excellence in the foreign country.

Washington, DC Wednesday, August 31, 2011
General David Petraeus officially retired after 37 years of service in the Army, most recently as commander of U.S. & NATO forces in Afghanistan. He was nominated by President Obama to be the next CIA Director and starts in that job after Labor Day.
The Defense Department this morning hosted a full retirement ceremony for the four-star general, including remarks by Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen, and Deputy Defense Secretary William Lynn.
Petraeus chose to retire before assuming the CIA post to avoid what some might see as the "militarization" of intelligence, according to the AP. "I have a certain profile in various parts of the world," he told the Pentagon Channel. "And were I to travel there in uniform, it might create some confusion, frankly, as, you know, 'Who is this guy? He's still in uniform. Is he the director of the CIA or is he actually something else?'"
Prior to his 19 months in Afghanistan, Petraeus was the head of U.S. Central Command, and helped oversee the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. During his service he was also posted in Iraq and Bosnia.
Gen. Petraeus graduated from West Point in 1974. He subsequently earned an M.P.A. in 1985 and a Ph.D. in International Relations in 1987 from Princeton University.

Concorde Battery Corporation's F-16 Pre-Block 40 and Block 40/50 aircraft batteries have been approved for the Qualified Product Listing. Concorde's D8565/19-1 pre-block 40 and D8565/20-1 Block 40/50 aircraft batteries are drop in replacements for existing lead acid batteries in the wheel-well installation.
The D8565/19-1 (NSN 6140-01-458-4863) is a heated battery rated at 15Ah and D8565/20-1 (NSN 6140-01-492-0227) is a non-heated battery rated at 17Ah. Both are valve regulated sealed lead acid (VRLA) batteries. Air Forces around the world have depended on the reliability of Concorde's VRLA technology for over 30 years. Concorde batteries were installed on the F-117 when it was unveiled to the public and continue to be installed on multiple military aircraft including the CH-53, F/A-18, C-130, S-3 Viking, CH-47, C-5, KC-135, F-4, F-5, T-38 and B-1B.
Concorde's performance can be attributed to unique design features such as proprietary PolyGuard separators (an additional layer of protection against shorting, exclusive to Concorde) robust plate construction, over the cell wall intercell connections for reduced internal resistance and a commitment to quality standards.
Concorde's VRLA batteries are maintenance free, do not require deep cycling to remove the "memory effects", do not require water or electrolyte replenishment and have no risk of thermal runaway. Additional benefits of Concorde batteries are that they do not require unique charging equipment, can be serviced in any battery shop, including nickel-cadmium shops, and they ship Hazmat Exempt making transportation less costly, regardless of whether shipping by land, sea or air.
The FAA has granted approval of STC ST01646WI for the Bombardier CL-600-2B16, CL-600-2B19, CL-600-2C10, & CL-600-2D24 to convert from nickel-cadmium or existing lead acid to Concorde's valve regulated sealed lead acid recombinant gas (RG) batteries.
ST01646WI permits the replacement of the main battery alone, the APU battery alone or both batteries. The main battery is replaced with Concorde's NEW design RG-223 (17Ah) battery and the APU battery is replaced with the popular RG-380E/44L (42Ah) battery. Both batteries have passed rigorous TSO C-173 testing for duty cycle, electrical performance, temperature extremes, shock/vibration and environmental requirements and are FAA-TSO authorized.
CL-600 Series aircraft are equipped with a variety of dedicated chargers for each battery. Concorde batteries require the Securaplane Model BC-1306 (P/N 100-1084-01) charger. BC-1306 is FAA-PMA approved and is included in the Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) of each aircraft model covered by this STC. Installation of the BC-1306 battery charger is not included in this STC since they are already covered by the aircraft IPC. With the BC-1306 installed, RG-380E/44L and RG-223 are drop in replacements for the original equipment nickel-cadmium batteries and no modification to the aircraft is required other than replacing temp sensors with those included in the STC kit. Concorde's valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) recombinant gas (RG) absorbed glass mat (AGM) technology has been proven as reliable, durable and safe for over 30 years.
The advantages of converting from nickel-cadmium to Concorde include lower cost of acquisition, zero maintenance and reduced battery costs per flight hour. Concorde batteries do not require deep cycling to remove the "memory effects" seen in nickel-cadmium batteries, do not require water or electrolyte replenishment and have no risk of thermal runaway. With the benefit of RG Series batteries shipping Hazmat Exempt, transportation is less costly regardless of whether shipping by land, sea or air.

Since the inception of the program in 2007 through 2010, SODA AAA utilizing $258,590 received from Masonic Charity Foundation of Oklahoma has been able to assist 350 seniors with wheel chair ramps, heat and air repair/maintenance, eye care, dental care, emergency medications, durable medical equipment, emergency utility assistance, and special needs transportation.

Page 2 SODA Area Agency on Aging SENIOR SAMPLER Page 3 SODA Area Agency on Aging SENIOR SAMPLER May - National Older Americans Month—Connecting the Community When Older Americans Month was established in 1963, only 17 million living Americans had reached their 65th birthdays. About a third of older Americans lived in poverty and there were few programs to meet their needs. Interest in older Americans and their concerns was growing, however. Historically, Older Americans Month has been a time to acknowledge the con-tributions of past and current older persons to our country, in particular those who defended our country. Older Americans Month is celebrated across the country through ceremonies, events, fairs and other such activities. America is Aging Starting in 2011, over 78 million baby boomers in the US will begin to turn 65 and retire from the workforce. Caring for these parents and grandparents as they age will be a major chal-lenge for the nation and individual families in the coming decades. Older Americans Month is an occasion to show appreciation and support for our seniors as they continue to enrich and strengthen our communities. This year's theme, issued by the Administration on Aging (AoA): "Older Americans: Con-necting the Community" pays homage to the many ways in which older adults bring inspira-tion and continuity to the fabric of our communities, and highlights how technology is helping older Americans live longer, healthier, and more engaged lives. The U.S. Administration on Aging will be sponsoring some exciting activities and events in ob-servance of Older Americans Month 2011. Please visit this site: olderamericansmonth.org for activity announcements and information about upcoming celebrations. National Senior Health & Fitness Day The Nation's Largest Older Adult Health Promotion Event Always held the last Wednesday in May during "Older Americans Month" 100,000+ older adults will participate in activities at more than 1,000 locations throughout the U.S. on Wednesday, May 25, 2011 as we celebrate the 18th annual National Senior Health & Fitness Day. The common goal for this day: to help keep older Americans healthy and fit. National Senior Health & Fitness Day is the nation's largest annual health promotion event for older adults. It is organized as a public-private partnership by the Mature Market Resource Center, a national information clearing-house for the older adult market. TAX-AIDE HELP IS AVAILABLE Tax-Aide help is avail-able at the Durant Sen-ior Center located at 301 N. 16th, every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, from 12:30 until 4:00. Volunteers are prepar-ing and e-filing tax re-turns for seniors and low-income families. Time is running out so hurry and get your tax help today. This pro-gram will continue until April 15th. If you have any ques-tions please call 580-924-6247 for assistance. Lone Grove Senior Center Installs New Flag Pole and New Flags With the help of the street department and a pole that was donated by Lavon Smith, the Lone Grove Senior Center is happy to an-nounce the addition of a brand new flag pole and flags recently installed with both the American Flag and the Oklahoma State Flag. Lone Grove Senior Center Annual Shrine Circus Trip Lone Grove Senior Center recently traveled to Oklahoma City for their annual fun-filled all day trip to the ―Shrine Circus‖ on March 25, 2011. They took a van with several seniors to this exciting event. Joan Kendall of the Lone Grove Senior Cen-ter, says that this has always been an eventful day as they also get to enjoy lunch at Furr's Buffet in Moore. The 36th Annual Oklahoman Conference on Aging The 36th Annual Oklahoma Conference on Aging, Real World, Real Aging, is scheduled for May 10-12, 2011, and will be held at the Em-bassy Suites Norman—Hotel and Conference Center in Norman.

Senior Poetry Contest winners will be announced during the lunch program and a limited number of bound copies of the contest entries will be available. The keynote speaker for Senior Day is Barbara Holmberg; a wellness au-thor, co-founder of Qi Life Coaching and a nurse practitioner with 25 years of women's health experience.

C A+F Nightlife: The night life at school is not that great. This school is not the "party" type unless if you count "partying" in the dorms or some one's house. Students got to other colleges to party but not at this school.
B A+F Guys & Girls: Everyone is different. Not every one you meet will be great. There are so stuck up girl, some jerks, and some people are just not meant to be your friend. Every where you go you will these type of people.

B A+F Academics: The major programs are great. The faculty are very smart and are very welcoming.
A A+F Academics: USI has the best professors. the school offers great courses and everything is reasonable.

C A+F Campus Dining: I do not dine on campus however is see lots of students eating in the dinning hall. What is great about the school is that there is a Starbucks coffee shop which I love to go to get coffee in between classes.
D A+F Weather: Indiana weather is the worst. especially in the winter. It gets so cold on campus however, inside the buildings are pretty warm.
B A+F Greek Life: I am not part of Greek life so I do not have enough knowledge about it. but i hear it is great.
A A+F Drug Safety: USI is a smoke free campus which means students are not allowed to smoke within certain distance away from campus.

In between flights, we stayed for one night at the hostel. It is basic, by its very nature, but clean and comfortable. The owner is very helpful. Facilities are on a help-yourself basis, but, as a very economic central stopover, it was fine. It's worth taking a walk down to Chinatown for a taste of some fine food.

There are a lot of 'definitions' for chunking and one of those that I use quite frequently includes the following: realistically figuring out how much time is appropriate to participate in an activity regardless of what you've done in the past, chunking out that time and scheduling it. An example of this comes from a conversation I had the other day with a guy who used to be a competitive marathon runner. Life got in the way and he stopped training and competing in marathons. He's tried several time to 'come back' but feels as though he lost his motivation. … Continued
Fighting Off Pounds During The Holidays
The day after Thanksgiving, I walked into a store and there were already Christmas decorations hanging everywhere. In fact, Starbucks even started using their holiday cups in the middle of November. Many people usually wait until after New Year's Eve to make the resolution that they want to lose weight for the upcoming year. Whether it is a diet, the new workout fad, or just living an overall healthier lifestyle, people believe that the new year is going to be different somehow. They feel that making a resolution will make them more motivated this "time around". In actuality, people are … Continued
The holiday season tends to be anxiety-proving for a lot of people who are trying to catch up on work, find the perfect gifts, and attempting to survive multiple family encounters.

Being thankful and practicing appreciation can help alleviate anxiety distracting the brain and focusing on positive aspects of life.

Mental Moment-what are you thankful for
We are so busy getting caught up in what we aren't doing, shouldn't have done or aren't doing right that we forget sometimes that it's important to be thankful for what we are doing, what we did do and the things we did right. Although it might sound cliche' what are you thankful for? It's almost that time of the year to evaluate and set goals for next year (hence my last couple of blogs). Generally when we do that, it brings out all that we've not done or things that we failed at trying to do. Why do we choose … Continued
Work Hard, Play Harder
The holiday season is upon us again. This is the time of year when you start to feel burnt out and mentally exhausted. It's hard to think of ways to find time for yourself and enjoy the little things in life. However, if your adopt a more positive mindset, this holiday season might not be nearly as painful. Find ways to motivate yourself by giving yourself one thing to look forward to each day. This might be as simple as looking forward to your daily run, trying a new restaurant, or going and burning off steam after work with some … Continued
Mental Moment-from assessment to action
Use goal setting as the method for improvement on the skills listed in your Performance Profile. The benefits of goal setting are to improve performance, improve the quality of your exercise, clarify expectations, relieve boredom, increase pride, satisfaction and self confidence. When written realistically, goals also allow you to see your successes, which leads to increased motivation and feelings of confidence. To work really well, research suggests using SMART goals. Specific (vs. general) – A specific goal has a much greater chance of being accomplished than a general goal. It includes who, what, where, when and why. Measurable (performance vs. … Continued

Underdog Mentality
As a player, coach, and athlete, it is always very anxiety provoking to face an opponent that you know is better than you. A lot of thoughts and self-doubt often go racing through your mind: there is no way I can win, this is going to be embarrassing, what if I don't PR? Contrary to popular belief, going into competition as the underdog is extremely advantageous. In a David vs. Goliath fight, Goliath is the one with everything to lose. He is the one with the reputation, the strength, the prestige and all of the accountability. As the unsuspecting rival, … Continued

Psychological Skills Training (PST) PST is a systematic approach to developing a mental game plan. It is designed to help performers acquire and practice the psychological skills that have been shown to improve performance and enhance enjoyment of performing. Research has shown that PST can give performers an edge over others. Step 1 – Where to Begin Think about how much of your performance is mental. Next, compare how much is mental with how much practice time you spend training mental skills. Generally, most performers know that performing is mentally demanding, yet they spend virtually no time practicing the necessary mental components. Step 2 – Mental Skills Worksheet … Continued
One of those elusive concepts that is easier to discuss than it is to achieve. Focus and attention is often difficult since many of us have a thousand ideas racing through our mind at one time: What should I eat for lunch? When is that report due? Do I have time to exercise today? Did I shut the bathroom light off before I left? When our brain is flooded with various thoughts, it is difficult to effectively achieve any one thing. We start to feel flustered and overwhelmed – worried that we will not be able to accomplish ALL of … Continued

Symptoms of Enlarged Prostate Gland
The reason for the enlargement of the prostate gland (benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)) is not very clear. Symptoms of enlarged prostate glands (generally classified as lower urinary tract symptoms), include:
- slowing down of the urinary stream
- straining to pass urine
- delayed start of the urinary stream
- dribbling at the end of micturition
- feeling of incomplete emptying of bladder
- inability to pass urine (urinary retention)
- incontinence of urine
- passing urine more frequently
- waking up at night to pass urine, usually more than twice a night
- strong and sudden urges to pass urine
- pain during urination
- blood in the urine
The only time it dries slowly is when you have a little post penile drip and it spots your pants.

Selling Your Vehicle What to do: Complete and sign the reverse side of the Certificate of Title and give it to the new owner along with a Bill of Sale (form H-31). You may draft your own Bill of Sale (form H-31), as there is no special form required. If you are drafting your own bill of sale it must contain the following information - name and address of purchaser; name and address of seller; description of vehicle (make, model, year, color, vehicle identification number); sales price; date of sale; signature of seller. As a seller you should keep a copy of the completed Title and Bill of Sale for your records. Remove and return the license plates to the DMV with the registration certificate, and ask that they be cancelled. You will then be given a receipt which you should keep for your records. You may be entitled to a partial refund of your registration fee. NOTE: Until you cancel your plates, the vehicle is subject to property tax assessment in the town of record for that vehicle. If you receive an additional property tax bill for the vehicle you should check with your local property tax assessor for a prorated bill showing your cancelled plate receipt and a copy of the Bill of Sale for the vehicle. You must maintain liability insurance on the registration as long as it is active; therefore, do not cancel the insurance on the vehicle until the plates have been returned and cancelled. The new owner will then be required to register the vehicle in his/her name and apply for a new Certificate of Title.

Although tax season may seem like light years away, there are steps you can take now to bump up your refund.
To get more money back from Uncle Sam, consider putting in the extra work to itemize your deductions. According to the most recent IRS data from 2009, about 45 million Americans claimed more than $1 trillion in deductions by itemizing on their 1040s. Meanwhile, an estimated 92 million taxpayers claimed $700 million through standard deductions—but some who took the easy way out might have cost themselves.
To help you get the most from your tax return, U.S. News consulted four certified public accountants: Steven Albert of Glass Jacobson in Owings Mills, Md., Melissa Labant of the American Institute of CPAs, Dennis Newman of Sharrard, McGee, & Co. in Greensboro, N.C., and Sandy Stolar of EisnerAmper LLP in New York City. They identified the deductions taxpayers most frequently miss:
Medical and dental care expenses. Currently, individuals are allowed to deduct medical and dental expenses on their tax return if the costs exceed 7.5 percent of their adjusted gross income (AGI), but that threshold will be increased next year to 10 percent as a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Eligible medical deductions are expenses incurred under a doctor's prescription. In other words, "if you just want to take vitamins, you can't deduct that," notes Albert.
People often forget to deduct travel expenses incurred to receive medical care, says Stolar. If you can't make the trip on your own, a portion of a companion's lodging expenses may be eligible for a medical deduction as well.
Those receiving Social Security frequently don't take the Medicare Part B deductions they're entitled to, Newman says. "If you're a retiree or disabled, depending on your income, money is withheld from your Social Security check and that's considered health insurance premiums, which are deductible," he says.
If you're the parent of a child with special needs and he or she must attend a specialized school, you may be able to deduct enrollment expenses, says Albert.
Child and dependent care credit. Although this isn't technically a deduction, it's a valuable tax credit that's frequently overlooked. If you have a dependent child (or children) younger than 13, you may be eligible for a credit for the costs of a childcare provider and certain childcare programs. Eligible childcare programs include before- and after-school care and day camps, but not overnight camps. For married couples to qualify, both spouses must work, or the non-working spouse must be a student or disabled. Parents with one child are eligible for a credit based on the first $3,000 of childcare expenses, and parents with two or more children can get a credit of up to $6,000.
Similarly, if you have a dependent parent who lives with you and can't physically take care of him or herself, you can receive a credit for the costs of caring for your parent. Such costs may include adult day care and in-home care.
Contributions to charity. Check and cash contributions to charities are generally fully deductible up to 50 percent of your adjusted gross income. Labant says people are fairly good about keeping track of those donations, but many don't deduct for costs incurred while doing work for a charity. These costs include mileage while volunteering for charitable organizations, which was $0.14 per mile for 2011, and out-of-pocket expenses, such as ingredients for a bake sale.
Labant adds that taxpayers should also look at their December paystubs, since many employees have charity contributions automatically deducted from their payroll.

Complaints levied against University of Wisconsin-Green Bay men's basketball coach
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Attorney Joseph Nicks has been hired by the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay to investigate complaints of player mistreatment by men's basketball coach Brian Wardle.
Wardle, a former basketball star at Hinsdale Central High School, remains on staff as head coach while Nicks continues his investigation.
When asked if Nicks' investigation would continue over several months, University Communications Director Chris Sampson said he believed the inquiry would end sooner than that.

BLM Utah Hiring Wildland Firefighters for 2013 Fire Season |
Salt Lake City, Utah – The BLM Utah is advertising openings for seasonal wildland firefighter and dispatcher positions across the state. The jobs being advertised are temporary seasonal appointments for the 2013 fire season. Appointment length depends on needs and funding but cannot exceed 1,039 hours—excluding overtime and training—during one service year. All applicants must be United States citizens and at least 18 years of age by the time of appointment. Wildland firefighting is very rewarding work that provides many career opportunities. If you enjoy an active lifestyle, have a love of the outdoors and crave diversity in the workplace, wildland firefighting may be for you. It is a diverse profession that provides a wide array of job experiences. Wildland firefighters may extinguish a mountaintop blaze or save homes and lives from wildland fire near a city or town. Wildland firefighters also provide help in the aftermath of natural disasters like flooding or tornadoes. During hurricane Katrina, wildland firefighters responded to help thousands in need. For a list of available BLM-Utah positions please visit www.utahfireinfo.gov. Follow us on Twitter @BLMUtah |
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2012, activities on public lands generated $4.6 billion in revenue, much of which was shared with the States where the activities occurred. In addition, public lands contributed more than $112 billion to the U.S. economy and helped support more than 500,000 jobs. |

Two weeks ago bears suffered one of their most crushing defeats in years. Make no mistake, this has been and continues to be a shoot first and ask questions later market. A lot of people made some big wagers that Europe would go down the drain. No sooner was the ink dry on their settlement statements were they at it again last week. As last week started we were greeted to a round of intervention by Japanese which threw the Dollar into rally mode which created an inverse relationship pullback for the equity markets. You'll recall the prior week a deal was struck in Europe and my favorite media center was playing Zorba the Greek bumper music. So even before the referendum sequence markets were looking for an excuse to drop. That's why the shorts did initially have the wind at their back.
You have to hand it to Mr. Papandreou. In one fell swoop he did for traders what it may have taken us days or weeks to accomplish on our own. Yes, his attempt at referendum totally eliminated all euphoria from the prior week. It's hard to remember this concept in the heat of the moment but if you get nothing else from these columns remember the following:
In bear phases it takes days or weeks to get the kind of fear required to bottom out a market. In bull phases it happens very quickly. Wasn't it 3 weeks ago the VIX was up near the 36 level and by the time the European deal was announced it was down near 26? Last week it was right back up there. Not only did we have to deal with the backroom political intrigue, we also had the MF Global situation to deal with. The feds will launch their own investigations but if what I've heard is true, that they allegedly dipped into clients' money, Mr. Corzine will have accomplished another landmark psychological event.
We've discussed Bernie Madoff in this column and while I am in no way comparing Mr. Corzine to Bernie, in addition to everything else their actions will have eroded the public confidence in trading and investing in financial markets. In Mr. Corzine's case, according to an AP story an MF Global executive admitted they dipped into client money but until an actual crime has been proven in a court of law we'll leave it at that. But if proven true, it will have accelerated the process and fast tracked us through the corrective process of whatever this bear market has left.
Back to Greece. Traders went out and shorted the market again on word that a referendum in Greece would be called. The prevailing wisdom was the good people of Greece in no way would approve such a scenario. But here's where an understanding of psychology and emotion is so important. What trader really understands the political backroom intrigue of a small country thousands of miles away? What was Mr. Papandreou really trying to accomplish? My layman understanding of the situation is that what he was trying to do was get the opposition in the same room so he could win a confidence vote. Did anyone really think the people of Greece were going to get the opportunity to vote for AUSTERITY? What it really came down to is whether Greece wants to secede from the EU. Faced with that vote what would the Greeks really decide?
Nobody really knows. I'm not here to give you a lesson on Greek politics. What I am trying to say is we had another knee jerk reaction from bears who are not very convicted on their views in the first place as evidence of the prior week. As it turned out, as another AP story hit the wire Thursday morning, bears were getting squeezed again as the NQ skyrocketed sky high. You have to consider that in the very short term, these ultra-bearish days are going to happen but you can't take it at face value. You have to consider that the crowd is wrong. I know it's a hard thing to do but to survive you must.
What can you bank on? In a market like this, the only thing you really can bank on is being a keen observer of events from day to day. Feel the emotion like everyone else but take a step back and interpret it. I told you in this space I am very concerned about a market that goes up only when bears give up their short positions. I need to see legitimate buying come in. How will that happen? When bears stop shorting the bad news. The market is starting to show some resilience because as of Sunday night the NQ had recovered much of the losses sustained from bear's referendum short play. When markets no longer go down on sour news will we know we are on a better track.
Next page: What to expect...
However, when I go around the horn, look at the condition of the Greenback as well as the bond market, I think we can settle into a trading range choppy type of market through this week and next week. We have a couple of massive time windows triggering around November 18 so we are now within the margin of error. Here's why I think we are land locked. The bond market seems to have hit an important floor as the low came in with an important square of 9 reading. In Gannspeak, a 90dg reading is just about as strong as a pivot can be. It rallied last week and peaked out at 61.2dg where it pulled back. If you don't totally understand this, basically what we are doing is converting the movement from point A to point B in terms of degrees in a circle. When we get important geometric or golden spiral readings, markets change direction. Here we are stuck between 2 good readings. As we know, the stock market tends to act inversely to bonds. Until this condition gets worked out, we could be stuck in a range.
Click chart to enlarge
Why are we spending so much time on the psychological side of this market? Institutional buying is very different from short covering and if we are to be in a bear phase we need to be able to gauge the conviction of the bears. If they were really convicted, they wouldn't care about every twist and turn coming out of Europe. They'd find a different excuse to sell it every day and on some days it would sell without an excuse. That's what bear markets are made of. If this sort of thing continues, eventually the bears are totally going to give up and we'll have a tremendous rally. We are coming to the seasonal aspect due to Christmas anyway.
