Hello. I have been bothered for a while now over the fact that when I smile (even the hardest I can), there is little to no tooth show. I have put ALL veneers to attempt to show them. Still no show. I don't know what else to do. Am I a candidate although I already have full lip? I had filler placed a while ago. Please help. Also, is the distance long enough? What type would I get? Also, when I smile big, it looks like the Joker. :( Thank you.
No Tooth Show ~ Lip Lift Candidate? (photo)
Doctor Answers 2
Increased Tooth Show By Upper Lip Line Raising
With such a full upper lip and normal nose to lip distance, I would definitely not recommend a lip lift for you based on the pictures you have submitted. You do not want to alter what looks good from above to improve what doesn't below. You may consider an alternative procedure, a mucosal or vermilion-mucosal reduction to raise the lower edge of the upper lip line upward. Because this involves resection right over the teeth, there is a fairly 1:1 relationship of tissue removed and resultant increased tooth show. This will avoid any risk of distortion to your very nice and full cupid's bow of the upper lip.

No Tooth Show ~ Lip Lift Candidate? (photo)
You may benefit from lip lift, but if vermilion very full, internal lip lift may be needed as well. Before any soft tissue procedure such as lip lift, facial skeletal relationships should also be considered, i.e. Is the reason you do not have dental show because of maxillary relationship to mandible, or other issue? Even so, lip lift much easier than orthognathic surgery, especially if it produces good result when simulated and if your occlusal relationships are normal. If the volumetric fullness of upper lip is related to filler, would let this resorb (or dissolve with hyaluronidase) before having a procedure. Internal lip lift may be the best first choice for "dental show" if you have naturally full upper lip... Can always do external (conventional) lip lift afterward if you lose some vermilion volume by internal lip lift.

In a public safety address packed full of statewide initiatives for reducing crime, Snyder focused heavily on Michigan's four high-crime areas -- Flint, Detroit, Pontiac and Saginaw.
Here's a look at the initiatives Snyder proposed for the state that would be targeted in Flint and the other hard-hit cities:
- Secure Cities Partnership that will focus initially on Flint, Detroit, Pontiac and Saginaw and the roadways that connect them. Michigan State Police would receive $15 million for two trooper recruit schools that will graduate 180 troopers to support local agencies. The first school would start recruiting in June.
- State police in April would begin a new pilot program in Flint, the Data Driven Approach to Crime and Traffic Safety (DDACTS). It uses Evidence-Based Policing, including data analysis and criminal intelligence to identify "hot spots" and make decisions on resource allocation in an objective, fact-based manner.
- Statewide, $5 million to the state police Forensic Science Division for enhanced forensic services, equipment, training and an additional 20 scientists to achieve a case turnaround time of 30 days. State police are piloting a Forensic Evidence Training Academy in Flint and Marquette.
- A new initiative to embed a Michigan Department of Corrections parole officer in each of the four target cities, including the Flint Police Department, to help reduce recidivism and increase fugitive apprehensions.
- Proposed $4.5 million to go to Flint for additional jail space, including a plan to reopen the city lockup. "In addition to limited jail space, Flint also suffers from limited prosecutorial support," the plan says. "I have recommended $900,000 for prosecutorial support in our distressed cities, with a particular focus on Flint."
- The Michigan Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Prevention and Treatment Board has secured federal funding for a new training project that will be piloted in Flint, Detroit, Pontiac and Saginaw. They will offer training, consultation and technical assistance to law enforcement to improve sexual assault policies and domestic violence practices.
- "Community Ventures Initiative" will target the four hard-hit cities. It provides $15 million to assist young people aged 15-29 and ex-offenders in finding jobs through a partnership with the Michigan Economic Development Corp. and other local agencies or businesses. It would also fund a "social entrepreneurship" competition to encourage start-ups.
- Proposed $5 million to support programs for teens from Flint, Detroit, Pontiac and Saginaw. The Department of Natural Resources would also partner with recreation centers and organizations in those cities for teen programs.
- To tackle truancy, directed Michigan Department of Human Services (DHS) to place more social workers in the 135 public elementary schools located in Flint, Detroit, Pontiac and Saginaw.

Erik Skoglund successfully defended his European (EU) Light Heavyweight Title with a ninth-round stoppage of Danilo D'Agata at the Nordic Fight Night in Esbjerg, Denmark.
The 22 year-old outclassed his awkward opponent to remain undefeated and secure his twentieth professional victory.
''It was a good fight,'' said Skoglund. ''D'Agata was a tricky opponent. He had a good jab and was difficult to reach. I knew that as the fight went on he would tire and I would be able to get to him. I was pleased to get the stoppage.''
Said promoter Nisse Sauerland: ''This was a great win for Erik. He overcame a difficult opponent who could have potentially given him some problems. Erik has showed tonight that he is world class and I believe he is ready to fight for a bigger title.''
Swedish Olympian Anthony Yigit was also in action, facing the previously undefeated Kasper Bruun in a Scandinavian showdown for the WBC Baltic Light Welterweight Title.
An entertaining fight was cut short due to an eye injury sustained by Bruun following an accidental clash of heads. After six rounds the judges scored the bout 58-56, 58-56 and 58-55, all in favour of Yigit.
''It was not the way I wanted to win,'' said Yigit in reference to the early stoppage. ''But tonight I proved I am the better boxer and if the fight had carried on I am convinced I would have stopped him. I would love a rematch with Kasper, but I do not believe he will take it."
Yigit's coach Joey Gamache added: ''Anthony did exactly what we had trained to do. Had the fight gone further, he would have given Kasper even bigger problems. I think everyone could see that.''

HOOPA Down by 10 with a little under three minutes remaining, the Del Norte High varsity girls team mounted a comeback, capped off with a three-pointer by Baille Mc-Culloch at the buzzer to give them a 42-41 win over Hoopa Wednesday.
andquot;It was a great comeback,andquot; head coach Buzz McCulloch said. andquot;We didn't give up... It was just a good team effort by all the girls.andquot;
The team came out of the gate sluggish, missing several easy shots and trailed 7-3 at the end of the first quarter. By the half, Del Norte had cut the lead to two.
The DN Warriors were able to keep things close until the fourth when Hoopa began to pull away and took a 10-point lead.
At that point, McCulloch said the team started to make shots and played tight pressuring defense.
McCulloch said he kept rotating girls on and off the bench, using quicker players when they were on defense and bringing in bigger girls for the offensive plays.
With about five seconds left, Del Norte found itself down by one. Grabbing a rebound after a missed free throw, the squad raced down the court when Baille Mcculloch drained the open three-pointer as time expired to give the team the win.
andquot;Everyone just went wild,andquot; Buzz McCulloch said.
The victory improves Del Norte to 7-7 for the season, already giving them one more win than last year.
Natasha Short led DN Warrior scorers with 13 points, including going 6-for-8 from the free throw line in the fourth quarter. Robyn Suzuki had seven points while Michelle Stacey and Brigitte Pingree had six points each. The girls start a three game tournament in Redding today against Oroville.
In the junior varsity game, Del Norte won 48-30 to improve to 7-3 for the year.
The Warriors raced to a 10- point half time lead and were able to expand their advantage in the second half.
Heather Thomas led Del Norte scorers with 11 points. Katelyn Sanderson had eight points Breanna Swinger had seven and Katy Suzuki had six points.

A New York based financial-services firm INTL FCStone Inc cites two unfolding events that could lead to safe-haven buying of gold [2]. Protests are occurring in Egypt after decrees from President Mohamed Mursi consolidating power [3]. The country's stock market has tumbled and the Muslim Brotherhood is expected to stage a massive demonstration in support of Mursi, which could set the stage for more violence.
"The Egyptian situation should be largely supportive for gold, as it could fuel further 'safe refuge' buying by Mideast origins," said Edward Meir, commodities consultant with INTL FCStone.
Meanwhile, US lawmakers and the administration still have not resolved the so-called fiscal cliff issue, and much remains to be done.
"Despite all the public bonhomie on display, the various sides are still quite far apart. This will mean that there will continue to be relatively rocky patches ahead for the markets, a scenario that should bode well for gold as a relative safe haven," Meir concluded.

Hi guys.
This last weekend I stumbled onto the uber exciting encounter with Garrysmod. I manged to install a few models after much reading and searching and I don't learn so easy. This thing Garry's put together is awesome!
I have googled a-plenty on how to make my own models since ultimately I'd Like to contribute to the cause and bring forth something new and great. So far what I've pulled up for tutorials looks bleak and difficult for me to follow, examples:
After trying to get some of the tools configured, and failing I thought there must be a newer better way than these old show-me-hows.
So, please let me know what instructions anyone has made or found that might get me close to importing an obj file into 3ds max and getting that into Garry's mod. Thanks everyone who helps!

The Xavier's Admission Test or XAT conducted by XLRI, Jamshedpur is scheduled for January 4, 2009 for admission to its post graduate management course.
One of the unique features of the XAT is a 250-300 word essay that the MBA aspirant is required to write. The time allotted for this is 20 minutes and is after the objective component of the test.
The rationale underlying this component
The XLRI places a premium on the social and ethical values of the aspirant. The essay is used as a tool to judge the same as the written piece provides a valuable insight into the mind of the test taker. The B-school uses the essay as a pre-interview yardstick.
Some topics in the past years
2004: Asked at the age of 83, as to which of his projects would he choose as his master piece, Frank Lloyd Wright, the architect, answered, "The next one".
2007: Economic growth without environmental damage -- a mirage or a reality.
The methodology for writing a good essay
Read the topic carefully and determine what you have been asked to write.
Are you expected to present the pros and cons of a particular issue? Are you expected to present an analytical piece? Are you required to write an argumentative essay or come up with different prespectives vis-a-vis an abstract topic?
Once you have a clear picture, jot down the important points that occur to you. For example, for the 2007 topic stated above, the points can run thus:
Now reorganise thoughts into the three-section format:
A terrific introduction:
Employ a quote, [only if it is relevant] or a generic observation pertaining to the topic at hand.
Supporting ideas:
This effectively is the body of the essay that is generally fleshed out over two or three small paragraphs. You can move from one paragraph to other by means of connectives such as 'Furthermore', 'Moreover' or 'To illustrate' etc. If you wish to present a deviation from the main line of thought or state an exception, you can use words like 'however', 'but' etc.
Examples will be the key to showcase your understanding of the topic. Provide those that are a function of your reading, observation or personal experience.
You must be politically correct and at the same time avoid wishy washy examples that do not stand scrutiny.
Wrap up the essay with a fitting finale, using connectives such as ' In conclusion' , 'Hence' or 'Thus'. Otherwise, however well written the essay, it will hang and have an unfinished feel to it.
Tick the important checklist
A] Cogency and coherence: The essay should have a smooth flow of thought and maintain relevance at all times. Moving back and forth will have a stilted effect.
B] Sentence structure: The word choice and construction of sentences should be apt and concise. Certain principles of grammar and usage must be adhered to.
C] Proofreading: Spelling errors and slang are a strict no-no in a formal essay.
What you need to do in the next one month
All the best!
Jaya Desai is Centre Head at IMS Learning Resources an institute that prepares candidates for various competitive examinations like the CAT, XAT, SNAP etc.

brown Spanish lentils, but any type of brown lentil will work.
(Makes about 6 servings; recipe created by Kalyn.)
1 cup small brown lentils
1/2 tsp. sea salt or table salt, for lentil cooking water
2 medium avocados
1 T fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 Fuyu Persimmons
2 apples (I prefer Honeycrisp, but any sweet green or yellow apple will be good)
Dressing Ingredients:
2 T fresh-squeezed lemon juice (I used my fresh-frozen lemon juice)
2 T Agave Nectar (or other sweetener of your choice)
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
salt to taste, I used about 1/4 teaspoon
2 T extra-virgin olive oil (use a flavorful olive oil for this)
Whisk together the lemon juice, Agave Nectar (or other sweetener of your choice), Dijon mustard, salt, and olive oil to make the dressing.
This didn't keep well in the fridge so if it's more than you'll eat I would either cut the recipe in half of cook the lentils but don't cut the fruit or combine with the dressing until right before you want to eat some.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Microsoft (MSFT) may be nearing a free Windows 8 release if recent rumors are true. "Windows 8.1 with Bing" is an upcoming free version that Microsoft may be targeting at current manufacturers now installing Google's (GOOG) Chrome.
A free scaled-down version of Windows does follow a recent pattern to position Microsoft software on a level playing field with Google's myriad of free offerings. A few weeks ago, Microsoft announced several new budget-priced hardware partners in Asia including ZTE, Gionee, Longcheer, and Xolo. Microsoft also stated that Windows Phone 8.1 will allow the phone makers to operate Windows 8.1 on current Qualcomm (QCOM) powered Android hardware.
In order to effectively compete against a free Android operating system in the budget arena, Microsoft must sell Windows Phone software incredibly cheap or give it away for free, and that's precisely what some are saying Microsoft intends to do. The upside to handing out free copies of operating systems is it allows for greater revenue and profit through app sales that would otherwise go to Google. Another key objective is to enable Microsoft to maintain, and hopefully build, the critical mass needed for its ecosystem to remain viable. Not everyone thinks Microsoft can pull it off.
TheStreet's Rocco Pendola believes Google and Apple will put Microsoft out of business within 10 years. I don't share Pendola's pessimism and actually think Microsoft is a strong candidate for investors wanting to buy and hold for dividend income.
That said, Microsoft is taking the gloves off to defend its territory from further erosion. Google's overall game plan to migrate users from Microsoft is easy to articulate. Offer services that are almost as good or in some cases better than Microsoft's and give it away for free.

Upflush Toilet Systems
Dear NH,
We just moved into a new house in December. The lower level has an upflushing toilet system described on your website as a "sewage ejection system". We only moved in two months ago and it appears we have a problem! From what I can tell, the containment tank has a hole in it and runoff is now seeping into the tank. I can hear and see the leak by peeking in from the top of the tank. This makes the sewage pump run more often and is probably overloading our septic system. I have consulted with a plumber and he is now planning on buying a new car with the profit he will make on this job. I figure I might be able to get the replacement tank and do the work myself. Or maybe the old tank can be patched in some manner. This is not a job to which I am looking forward.
By runoff, do you mean that you think that ground water is leaking into your sump tank? That is definitely a serious problem, since you could well flood your septic system. But it is also the least likely source of your problems, considering that the typical sewage ejection system utilizes a sturdy closed tank. It would take an earthquake or some serious abuse to put a hole in one! Eating firecrackers or 4-alarm chili, for example.
Hold off on shopping for your plumber's new Lexus… it is possible that your problem is less earth shattering than your first instinct. What may be happening is that the backflow or "check" valve in your system is not working properly. This valve keeps the wastewater from running back into the sump from the vertical pipes leading up to your home's drain system. Depending on the amount of pipe used in your installation, a significant amount of water could be slowly leaking back into the tank... even enough to keep the sewage pump continuously cycling! This would not damage your septic system (no extra water is being moved) but it would add to the wear and tear on your pump! The check valve is mounted on top of the tank or near the tank in the drainpipe.
I really hope that you don't have to replace the entire system. However, this is not an extremely difficult do-it-yourself job… especially since you have most of the plumbing and electrical work pre-done, as well as the sump itself! Your local plumbing supplier will be able to set you up with the correct adapters to tie your new system into your old plumbing. As far as the ejector system, you can purchase a replacement at a local plumbing supply store, or order one online from Plumbing Supply.com.

CME Group Says MSRI Prize in Innovative Quantitative Applications Awarded to Robert Shiller
Posted: 09/28/12
By: tomgrisafi
CME Group and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) announced today economist Robert Shiller is the 2012 recipient of the CME Group-MSRI Prize in Innovative Quantitative Applications. He will be honored at an award ceremony at W Chicago-City Center on Friday, October 12, at 10:30 a.m.
U.S. Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) and Keith Hennessey, former National Economic Council director, will debate the topic: "The U.S. Housing and Financial Crisis: Aftermath & Afterthoughts" prior to the award ceremony.
The seventh annual CME Group-MSRI Prize recognizes individuals who contribute original concepts in mathematical, statistical or computational methods for the study of the markets' behavior and global economics.
"I am honored to be recognized by CME Group and MSRI for my work in the field of mathematical sciences and am thrilled both organizations see the impact quantitative research has on shaping global financial markets," Shiller said.
"Dr. Shiller's impact on financial services and economics is unparalleled," said Leo Melamed, CME Group Chairman Emeritus and Prize Selection Committee member. "The Standard & Poor's/Case Shiller Home Price Indices are critical to global economy. We are proud to add him to the distinguished list of recipients of the CME Group-MSRI Prize in Innovative Quantitative Applications."
"Professor Shiller's research has advanced the application of mathematical sciences toward understanding problems in the real world with rigor and innovative thinking that has been prescient in its grasp of the housing market bubble," said Robert Bryant, Director of MSRI and Prize Selection Committee member. "MSRI is proud to be collaborating with CME Group in recognizing Professor Shiller's fundamental contributions to financial economics and the international influence of his analysis of market behavior."

in its per curiam opniion. "Appellant bore no direct risk with respect to non-payment of its customers' credit card indebtedness, did not suffer any losses as a result of the defaults to the finance companies, and presented no competent evidence that its service fee payments constituted bad debt losses for which a sales tax refund would be appropriate under N.J.S.A. 54:32B-12(c) or N.J.A.C. 18:24-23.2."State Regulation Found ReasonableThe court was also not convinced by Home Depot's argument that the so-called "sales tax first" regulation—which requires a vendor to remit all the sales tax on an item, even if the vendor is only able to collect a portion of the principle—distorts the effective rate of the sales tax to a rate substantially higher than 6 percent. The company claimed the higher rate constituted an unreasonable and invalid regulatory interpretation of the sales and use tax act.The appeals court found that the tax court aptly explained why the statute and regulation were reasonable and the scheme had a rational relationship to a legitimate governmental interest. The tax court said it was reasonable for the division of taxation, which does not have the ability to participate in the credit evaluation of a particular customer, should not bear any of the credit risk relating to that customer. . . . If it sounds like they make up the rules as they go along, you are on to something.Tip for future tax protestors: Avoid jurisdictional routes that take you through a tax court. Tax court judges are picked to rubber stamp gov. cases. Occasionally an outlier, like Judge Vasquez on the USTC gets through, but they are rare.

Last night, "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" reality star and producer Nikko appeared on an internet talk show called, "The Purple Girl Show," where he dished on feuding with cast mate, Karlie Redd (who he made clear he was not attracted to from the beginning or in his own words "she's not my type of fabric"), his genre of music including career, and of course, fitness and sex.
Nikko also explained that his experience on the Vh1 hit show was a bad one after producers re-edited and made him out to be a poor guy and a conceited one.
During his interview, a fan called in an hour into the show to ask the "Paint My Window" singer about the recent sex tape leak starring himself and "L&HH: ATL" star Mimi Faust — totally missing the disclaimer of 'what and what not to ask intro of the show.
Just as the New York-native was about to respond to the fan, the question was immediately shot down by the radio hostess out of respect and some sort of privacy request made by him earlier on in the show. Little did Mr. Nikko knew, GWL was already tuned-in waiting patiently for him to slip up and dished about the raunchy homemade porn flick.
He however never denied the reports — first reported by MediaTakeOut — but told the fan, "I don't wanna talk about that right now," which quickly brought us to the conclusion; the tape was just a publicity stunt probably forced on by Nikko himself as neither of them never commented on it publicly or knew how it would be played out across the blogosphere.
He also dished about his spicy relationship with Mimi being "deliciously tasteful" adding, "she's a real person. She's been through a lot. She's dealt with the pressure of being on reality TV and handled it pretty well. She's a beautiful person and I love that about her. Just gotta say that. So we're doing well, absolute well."
The overall interview was pretty deep. The sex part of the sit down was also absolute fire. Nikko started talking about sexual positions and gave advice on how his fellow brothers out there listening should lay it down in bed.
FYI: Nikko made it clear that he does not consider himself an R&B artist and fans should address him as a 'Pop Soul' artist. Wondering where the "Pop Soul" came from? He added that in the 90's he observed two artists' "Usher" and "J.T"… with that being said, he walked away feeling inspired knowing that he took a little of Justin Timberlake "Pop" and a little of Usher Raymond "Soul" to create his own sound/genre of music.

Get answers about 529 assets and Medicaid qualification, plus putting 529s in revocable trusts.
I work with an older gentleman who would like to establish 529 accounts to fund college for his grandchildren and to remove assets from his estate both for estate tax purposes and for purposes of qualifying for Medicaid in the future if he goes into a nursing home. While his assets do not exceed the current federal exclusion of $5,250,000, they do exceed the state estate tax exclusion in his state of residence, which is only $1,000,000. If he is the account owner, will the assets in the 529 accounts count for purposes of Medicaid qualification? Would it be better for him to establish a trust to own the 529 accounts?
Each state administers Medicaid with its own rules. To qualify for Medicaid, the applicant must meet certain qualifications. Generally, the applicant must be over 65, blind, disabled, or the parent of a minor child, and must meet the financial need tests. When a person applies for Medicaid, the state values the applicant's "resources" to determine if they are less than the state's threshold amount, which may be as low as $2,000 or $3,000. Certain assets, such as a homestead or a car, are considered exempt. The federal regulations define "resources" as "cash or other liquid assets or any real or personal property that an individual owns and could convert to cash to be used for support or maintenance" (20 Code of Federal Regulations § 416.120, § 416.1201). The federal regulations further explain:
(1) If the individual has the right, authority or power to liquidate the property or his or her share of the property, it is considered a resource. If a property right cannot be liquidated, the property will not be considered a resource of the individual (or spouse).
20 CFR § 416.1201(a)(1).
Because the account owner could withdraw the section 529 account assets and use the proceeds for support or maintenance, section 529 savings account assets should be counted as a resource. Each state, however, will reach its own conclusion on whether to count section 529 savings account assets, but the overwhelming trend is to count them as resources.
If your client funded 529 accounts that were owned by another individual or by a trust, there is essentially a five-year waiting period before those assets would be disregarded for Medicaid eligibility purposes, because transfers made by the applicant within the last 60 months are subject to a "look back rule."
If an applicant for Medicaid is determined to have assets in excess of the threshold amount because of transfers within the look-back period, then the applicant is disqualified for a period determined by dividing the value of the transferred assets by the average monthly private-pay rate for nursing facility care in the state. This penalty period can be longer than the look-back period.
Thus a potential applicant should generally wait until the expiration of the look-back period before applying for Medicaid. Your client might, for example, make gifts to 529 accounts owned by someone else, but retain sufficient assets to provide for his own support, including, at a minimum, nursing home costs for five years.
As this table summarizes, there are other considerations--including beneficiary and tax issues--to take into account when deciding how to set up the 529. For instance, if another individual is the account owner, he or she will have the ability to withdraw the funds for any reason, including his or her personal use. The account owner also controls changes of beneficiary. The account owner does not owe any fiduciary duties to the beneficiary of a 529 account. Thus if one makes a gift to a 529 account with another individual as the account owner, one is placing a lot of trust in that person to use the funds as intended. Often a grandparent may trust a child to be the account owner of the accounts for his or her children, but a child may be unlikely to change the beneficiary of any unused funds for his or her children to the grandparent's other grandchildren (the child's nieces and nephews).
If a trust is the account owner, the trust imposes fiduciary duties on the trustee to follow the directions in the trust. (See my November 2003 column "How to Make a Trust an Account Owner of a 529 Account.") Thus if the trustee withdraws funds from a trust-owned 529 account, the funds would still be subject to the terms of the trust and could not be used by the trustee for his or her personal use. If the trust is for only one beneficiary, then the trustee could not change the beneficiary of the 529 account, but could distribute the 529 account to the trust if the 529 account is not needed for the beneficiary's higher education (subject to income tax and the penalty tax). If the trust is for multiple beneficiaries, then the trustee can change the beneficiary of the trust-owned 529 accounts from one beneficiary of the trust to another beneficiary of the trust. Generation-skipping transfer ("GST") tax consequences may result if the trust is not exempt from GST tax and makes distributions, including distributions from a 529 account to a grandchild or more remote descendant of the donor.
On the tax side, while gifts to 529 accounts owned by an individual will qualify for the gift tax annual exclusion (currently $14,000 per individual) and, if the gift is to a grandchild or more remote descendant, the generation-skipping tax ("GST") annual exclusion (currently $14,000 per individual), gifts to trusts may or may not qualify for these annual exclusions. Gifts to "2503(c) Trusts" will qualify for these exclusions, but 2503(c) Trusts must give the beneficiary a right to withdraw at age 21. Further, a 2503(c) Trust can have only one beneficiary. (See my January 2009 column.) Gifts to specially designed Crummey Trusts (see my September, October, and November 2009 columns) can qualify for the gift tax annual exclusion.
If a grandchild is the beneficiary, a Crummey Trust solely for that grandchild can also be designed to qualify for the GST annual exclusion, but a shared trust for multiple grandchildren cannot qualify for the GST annual exclusion. With the GST exemption now at $5,250,000 for 2013 and subject to inflation adjustments, many clients have GST exemption to burn. A client who does not plan to fully use his or her GST exemption could create a shared trust for grandchildren and assign GST exemption to it to avoid GST tax on gifts to the trust and distributions from the trust.
Another disadvantage of funding a trust and having the trust invest in 529 accounts is that contributions to the trust will not qualify for the five-year election, which allows a taxpayer to make five years' worth of annual exclusion gifts to a 529 account in one year. With the federal estate tax exclusion at $5,250,000 for 2013 and subject to inflation adjustments, many clients have federal estate tax exclusion that they will not be using. A client who does not expect to fully use his or her federal estate tax exclusion could make gifts to a trust that do not qualify for the gift tax annual exclusion. To the extent the client has federal estate tax exclusion remaining, such gifts would not result in federal gift tax. (Only one state, Connecticut, still has a gift tax.)
Because your client's assets are under the federal estate tax exclusion, your client may wish to use any assets that are not needed for his support (and at a minimum, enough for five years of nursing home care) to create a shared trust for his grandchildren. The trust can then invest in 529 accounts. Your client would assign GST exemption to the trust. If he wanted to immediately make gifts in excess of the annual exclusion, he could use his estate tax exclusion to make such gifts. Your client would be required to file a gift tax return to report any taxable gift and to assign GST exemption to the trust.
Are there any benefits to a revocable trust owning the 529 account?
A typical estate planning revocable trust permits distributions to the grantor during the grantor's life, and upon the grantor's death provides for the revocable trust assets (including any assets added to the revocable trust by reason of the grantor's death) to be distributed to one or more beneficiaries.
The trust becomes irrevocable upon the grantor's death. The advantage of naming a revocable trust as the account owner, or as the successor account owner upon the grantor's incapacity or death, is that a revocable trust will provide for a succession of trustees, and therefore a succession of account owners. For creditor protection purposes and Medicaid qualification, a 529 account owned by the revocable trust should be treated the same as a 529 account owned by the grantor of the trust. The disadvantage of having a revocable trust as the owner rather than the grantor is that there is some uncertainty about the tax consequences of a revocable trust being the account owner. Further, problems could result if the trust is not thoughtfully drafted with the 529 accounts in mind; the trust should provide instructions for how the 529 accounts are to be managed, including when distributions should be made, when the beneficiary should be changed, and to whom.
If the revocable trust becomes the account owner by reason of the contributor's incapacity, no gift tax consequences should result from the change of account owner. First, the section 529 contribution was treated as a completed gift to the section 529 beneficiary when initially made. Second, under current law there is no provision for imposing gift tax upon a change of account owner.
If the revocable trust is the account owner, the section 529 savings account should not be included in the grantor's estate upon the grantor's death, at least if the 529 account cannot be used to pay estate taxes, debts, and claims. Section 529(c)(4) provides: "No amount shall be includible in the gross estate of any individual for purposes of chapter 11 [estate tax chapter] by reason of an interest in a qualified tuition program." The Proposed Regulations provide: "Except as provided in paragraph (d)(2) of this section [regarding the five-year election], the gross estate of a decedent dying after June 8, 1997, does not include the value of any interest in a QSTP which is attributable to contributions made by the decedent to such program on behalf of any designated beneficiary" (Prop. Treas. Reg. § 1.529-5(d)(1)). There seems little doubt that section 529 was intended to override the more general provision of Internal Revenue Code section 2031, which includes in a decedent's estate the "value at the time of his death of all property, real or personal, tangible or intangible, wherever situated."
Some individuals, however, have expressed concern that a section 529 savings account owned by a revocable trust would be included in the grantor's estate under Code section 2036 or Code section 2038, which would generally apply to include assets of a revocable trust in the grantor's estate. While I believe that the very specific language of section 529 should override sections 2036(a) and 2038(a)(1) just as easily as it overrides section 2031, I know of no authority on point.
If the revocable trust would permit the trustee to take a nonqualified distribution from the section 529 savings account after the grantor's death and use the proceeds to pay the grantor's debts or estate taxes, then one might also worry about whether section 529 overrides Code section 2041, which includes in the grantor's estate property over which the grantor had a general power of appointment. A "general power of appointment" generally means any power exercisable in favor of the decedent, his estate, his creditors, or the creditors of his estate and includes a power exercisable to pay the estate tax, or any other taxes, debts, or charges that are enforceable against the estate. Again, section 529 appears to override all of the estate tax inclusion provisions of the Code, including section 2041, but I know of no authority on point. Any potential application of section 2041, however, could be avoided by prohibiting the trustee from using section 529 savings accounts to pay debts or taxes.
If, notwithstanding any tax concerns, a revocable trust is designated as the successor account owner of a section 529 savings account, careful attention must be given to ensure that the trust contains appropriate provisions permitting the trustee to manage the section 529 savings account as the grantor intends.
First, if the trust may become the account owner during the grantor's life, the trust should explicitly permit a distribution from the section 529 savings account to the section 529 beneficiary. Second, if the grantor wants the trustee to have the ability to change the beneficiary, the trust should state who are permissible alternative beneficiaries and under what circumstances the grantor would want the beneficiary changed. Third, the trust should state whether or not the trustee has the power to take a nonqualified distribution and retain the proceeds in the revocable trust, potentially for use in satisfying the grantor's needs. Fourth, if it may be desirable to make additional gifts to the section 529 savings account during the grantor's incapacity, the trust should explicitly grant such power to the trustee. The grantor may also wish to grant such gift-making powers to the grantor's agent under the grantor's durable power of attorney.
Upon a grantor's death, the revocable trust assets are generally distributed to one or more trusts or beneficiaries. The trust should contain explicit instructions as to which successor trust or beneficiary should become the account owner on the grantor's death. The section 529 savings account should pass only to a trust of which the section 529 beneficiary is a beneficiary, which is permitted to make distributions for the beneficiary's higher education. The section 529 savings account should not pass to a trust qualifying for the marital deduction (unless the spouse is the section 529 beneficiary). Once the section 529 savings account is transferred to the successor trust, the trustee will not have authority to change the beneficiary of the section 529 savings account to someone who is not a beneficiary of that trust, unless the trust explicitly permits otherwise. Careful consideration should be given to defining the permissible class of successor beneficiaries, particularly if a subtrust with a smaller class of beneficiaries becomes the successor account owner upon the death of the grantor.
Further, if the grantor lives in a community property state, community property issues may need to be addressed.
The revocable trust should also contain provisions authorizing the trustee to hold a section 529 savings account as an investment, to change investment elections, and to roll over the account to a different 529 program.

Demand and Supply of Currencies of Small Denominations: A Theoretical Framework
Economic history reveals that different countries over different time periods suffered from severe shortage of currencies of small denominations. Due to the frequency and severity of these incidents, first Cipolla (1956) and later Sargent and Velde (2002) named this phenomenon as ``the big problem of small change''. The paper presents a theoretical framework to understand ``the big problem of small change''. It specifies demand and supply equations of currencies of small denominations. Both demand and supply equations emerge out of an optimization framework. Demand functions for small denominations are obtained from a linear expenditure system. Our main contention is that economic agents would like to hold a fixed number of small changes, independent of their respective total cash holdings. However, in our model the fixed quantity is influenced by the probability that in a currency transaction, the counterparty would be able to provide the small change if needed. The supply function is derived from an optimization problem where the central bank balances its operational cost with the probability that an individual would be able to carry out ``small'' transactions independently, without the help of counterparty. In this demand-supply framework, the probability that a randomly chosen individual in an economy would hold certain currency combinations is interpreted as ``price''. We attempt to show that in a dynamic environment, such interaction could be understood by specifying a cob-web type model where expectations are formed based on previous period's experience. As an operational rule, it is proposed that the central bank should increase the supply of small denominations at a rate marginally above the growth rate of economically active population and stop minting as soon as some of the small denominations start return in the currency chest. We also suggest how demand for ``small change'' could be estimated from the ``lifetime'' of the ``smallest'' denomination.

A collection of German folk tales gathered and retold by the Brothers Grimm gave Berlin-based Katerina Belkina the motivation for her Inspire project. She was intrigued by the way that the stories tapped into the era of German Romanticism. She made travellers and seekers of truth and absolute happiness, the heroes of her project."I had just six months or so to work on the project and it went by like a flash," she recalls. "I was so busy and involved in the process that it was difficult for me to think about what I was really waiting for. Of course all of us are looking for a good response when we work hard and do something interesting, but I'm very careful with any expectations. This is typical Russian mentality: let's see!"
"However I definitely had a really cool experience during the shooting and enjoyed working with a team. Usually I work alone, but this time I decided to ask for some help and I built around me a good company of creative people who helped me to develop and realise the project. I deliberately didn't show any pictures from the project in advance, and wanted their first showing to be at photokina when the Hasselblad Masters book was launched.""I loved the H5D-50c camera and was surprised at how comfortable and confident it felt to work with it. I was shooting only with natural light and sometimes conditions were not so easy. For example, I was waiting for the special quality you get at sunset when the light is not very strong, and when I saw how good the result was I was truly amazed! It's a great thing when you're free to create in different situations and feel safe. Now I know for sure that this camera really suits the way I work.""The project I've chosen to cover is so huge that it's not possible to present it fully in a series of just ten to twelve images, so it's already clear to me that I'll be taking it further. Just for the moment however I'm having a break to think a little deeper and make more sketches and extra notes.""I also expect to have to make several objects as sculptures and installations, and it's the first time in my creative life that I've begun my work so consciously, going through the usual borders. The addition of a serious camera has allowed me to take a serious step forward."

FRISCO, Texas — Playing without two of their three big stars, the LA Galaxy produced a fine defensive display and rode a second-half Mike Magee goal to a 1-0 win over FC Dallas on Saturday night in front of a record crowd of 22,565 at FC Dallas Stadium.
Magee, who hadn't appeared in a match since July 4, scored his fifth goal of the season, and third in his last five matches.
However, all of the pregame intangibles seemed to favor Dallas, particularly considering their 5-0 drubbing of Portland last week and the fact that the Galaxy arrived without Landon Donovan and David Beckham. The visitors were winless playing without Landon Donovan this season.
WATCH: Full Match Highlights
But LA executed their game plan to perfection.
The Galaxy's central midfield duo of Marcelo Sarvas and Juninho hounded David Ferreira all evening, not allowing the Colombian to build on his two-assist performance last time out. Keane and Magee were given the offensive burden and they produced, linking up to score the game-winner.
In a cagey first half played in triple-digit temperatures, neither side was able to gain much of a foothold. Robbie Keane nearly gave LA the lead in the 35th minute, after latching onto a Magee through ball and rounding goalkeeper Kevin Hartman. But Colombian defender Hernan Pertuz — who had his best performance since arriving in Dallas — slid in to clear the ball off the line.
That became a theme as time after time the LA front duo came within inches of scoring in a span of dominance. But it wasn't until the 62nd minute that the Galaxy finally got the goal they deserved.
Keane controlled a bouncing ball at the top of the box and flicked it over a defender to Magee. The FC Dallas defense chose to not close down the winger, expecting him to play a give-and-go with Keane. Instead, Magee curled a shot round a defender and into the lower corner.
OPTA CHALKBOARD: Keane's impressive passing
LA are now 7-2-1 since the start of June, unbeaten in four road games and showing the form that won them the MLS Cup last season. They next face Real Madrid in an Herbalife World Football Challenge match at The Home Depot Center Center on Aug. 2.
FC Dallas now find themselves in an extremely tough situation, 11 points behind LA for the fifth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Plus, they head on the road for four of their next five matches, including an Aug. 5 clash in Portland on the NBC Sports Network.

Read this summary from Ivonne Leesman-Leegte from the Department of Cardiology at the University Medical Centre of Groningen, the Netherlands.
Self care is the behaviour that a patient undertakes to care for himself to promote health and well being. It can be seen as a decision-making process that patients use in choice of behaviours that maintain physiological stability (symptom monitoring and treatment adherence) and the response to symptoms as they occur. It requires that patients recognize a change; evaluate this change; decide to take action; implement a treatment strategy and evaluate the response to the treatment. A few years ago this concept of self care behaviour is more specified into different aspects of self care such as Self Care Maintenance, Self Care Management and Self Care Confidence, which was summarized in the Self Care of Heart Failure model. (Riegel 2004). Self Care Maintenance is defined as the routinely daily practices of patients and patients participating in health seeking behaviour. Self Care Management is defined as the decision making process in symptom monitoring and treatment adherence. Self Care Confidence is the way patients feel worth while to take care for and to invest in seeking help and assistance. Depression is common in patients with Cardiovascular Diseases and especially in Heart Failure (HF) patients. It is associated with morbidity and mortality, decreased quality of life and increased health care costs. The question is, if there is a link between self care and depression. Does depression complicates self care and where in the above mentioned model can we find the link with depression? Studies on the relationship between depression and self care are scarce. Only a few small studies in cardiovascular patients, mostly in HF patients, have identified this association. Depression in HF patients might hinder self care through impaired cognition, social isolation, feelings of hopelessness and delay in seeking help. But most research has focused on the relationship between depression and compliance or adherence. Depression affects Self Care in several ways and it is necessary to improve research in this area. For daily practice it is advised to screen for and treat depression, and improve skills and resources of patients to increase self care.
