Singapore and ASEAN in the New Regional Division of Labour
This paper examines the implications of international fragmentation of production for trade patterns of Singapore and the other ASEAN economies, with emphasis on their regional and global economic integration. The analysis reveals that the degree of dependence of these countries on this new global division labour is much larger compared to the other countries East Asia, Europe and North America. Network-related trade in parts and components has certainly strengthened economic interdependence among ASEAN countries and between ASEAN and other major economies in East Asia, but this has not lessoned the dependence of growth dynamism of these countries on the global economy. The operation of cross-border production networks depends inexorably on trade in final goods with North America and the European Union.

New Freeway Opens. Dallas Gets Excited.
The High Five. Less painful now, assuming you've got the cash.
Andreas Praefcke
Want to actually, you know, drive on LBJ rather than just sitting on it? Now you can, but it'll cost you.
The TEXpress lanes are open. The new sunken pay lanes on Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway — we'll begrudgingly admit — are a civil engineering marvel. They'll also generate quite a bit of revenue, with prices that fluctuate with demand and encourage carpooling. The temptation, we'd imagine, to hop out of LBJ's brutal traffic and onto the TEXpress will be quite strong, as has already been shown by traffic Thursday afternoon.
Here's a good comparison - managed toll lanes (where I am) on the left, free lanes on right. #LBJ @CBSDFW #DFWTraffic pic.twitter.com/dlEwEx5JJF— Jennifer Lindgren (@JLindgrenCBS11) September 10, 2015
That looks fun.
As one might expect, in North Texas, a place that loves freeways and sprawl almost as much as it loves the Cowboys, the TEXpress opening was met with an abundance of pomp and circumstance, as documented by a series of tweets, videos and photos from TV news reporters.
There was a ceremonial first trip, complete with siren-blasting firetrucks.
First group of cars driving LBJ Express! New highway is open after more than 4 years of construction. @CBSDFW pic.twitter.com/kpjV4CRbx1— Arezow Doost (@CBS11Arezow) September 10, 2015
There was a whole gaggle of onlookers.
View from Webb Chapel bridge of very first drivers on the new #LBJ #TEXpress! @CBSDFW pic.twitter.com/Jj5xMufRUk— Jennifer Lindgren (@JLindgrenCBS11) September 10, 2015
There was also a
ribbon cutting ribbon-branding involving City Council Member Monica Alonzo, state Representative Jason Villalba and Dallas County Commissioner Mike Cantrell.
#TEXpress lanes officially open with a J-brand ribbon cutting. #TexasStyle @CBSDFW #DFWTraffic pic.twitter.com/pYJFa4vzh3— Jennifer Lindgren (@JLindgrenCBS11) September 10, 2015
The new lanes are cut up into three segments. If you want to move from one segment to the next, you'll have to pay an additional toll, as explained in the LBJ Express Project's extensive online guide. Overhead signs will alert drivers of the fluctuating prices that are meant to keep traffic flowing at at least 50 mph on the express lanes. Prices are cheaper for drivers carrying at least one passenger, as long as the driver registers their trip online using their toll tag. Tolls will run between 10 and 75 cents a mile.

North Texas Tollway Authority
According to J. Bruce Bugg Jr., a state transportation commissioner interviewed at the event for a Dallas Morning News video, the newly expanded LBJ will be able to transport 250,000 cars a day.

America's obsession with 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' is one of those weird things we just have to accept and (willingly) join in witnessing the ridiculous hilarity. Luckily for us, Alana and Mama June Thompson have been on a slew of news-related shows recently, and in true sassy fashion, the six-year-old has always brought crazy antics along with her.
There are two things we know for sure about puppies: they're unpredictably hilarious and sometimes have adorably strange antics. Remember our favorite dogs going to town on peanut butter? That's the kind of silly stuff we love.
Well canine fans of all ages, we've discovered dogs have yet another highly underrated quirk, and it comes in the form of shoes.
As much as we love babies, there are times when they can be pure sources of terror. Unbearably adorable, charming, way-too-cute-to-get-mad at sources of terror, but terror-inducing nonetheless. In all honestly, we're a little jealous these miniature munchkins can get away with virtually anything. If we stuck jelly beans up our nose or took it upon ourselves to redecorate the kitchen walls with Crayola, we'd be deemed citizens of Crazy Town, population: One.
Last weekend, a bunch of celebrities gathered at New York's Beacon Theatre for 'Night of Too Many Stars: America Comes Together for Autism Programs.' The event helps support autism programs across the US, and what drives the impressive fundraising are the celebrities in attendance. These included Amy Poehler, Stephen Colbert, Carly Rae Jepsen, and host Jon Stewart.
Everyone and their mother is crankin' out 'Gangnam Style' parodies these days. No, seriously-- don't you remember the mother-son pair who did an awesome rendition of PSY's giddyup move?
You'd think that after seeing versions from cats to Trekkies and everything in between we'd be a little sick of this craze, right?
The thought of committing ourselves to one lady for the rest of our lives makes us break out in a cold sweat while nervously scratching our junk. The scratching is probably something else though.
Little miss Alana Thompson is at it again. Dear ol' Honey Boo Boo is unknowingly cracking us up again with her Southern kid 'tude and sassy faces.
There are tons of things we love about America. Our grand ole' country cranks out hysterical, nightmare-inducing shows about mini pageant queens and we throw Big Bird into the political scene, for example. But our recent discovery tops them all-- ladies and gentlemen, we live in the presence of the most recent world champion pumpkin grower.
There's one thing we know for sure about little kids-- they can make practically anything seem adorable. Scrunched-up, twisted sour faces? Check. A boppin' on a bed rendition of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'? You betcha! Although we're a little dumbfounded as to how this "everything is ridiculously adorable" thing actually happens, we can't help but be sucked into the cuteness every darn time. This is especially true when it comes to Halloween.
As guys, we're always getting thrown under the bus for cheating. Do women not realize infidelity is a two-way street? That's why when we heard about this British chap named Stu, we were pretty satisfied; it's about damn time the tables turned.
Pizza Hut has been on our semi grossed-out minds a lot recently, what with their new Kit Kat Pops and Cone Crust Pizza, among other heart attack-inducing creations. But to our surprise, the big cheeses over at the pizza chain have redeemed themselves in our books.

Computer Network Security - A Good Defense Sometimes Means a Good Offense
With increasing numbers of mobile devices and computer technology advances à la Moore's Law, computer hacking is becoming more and more of a threat—making computer network security more and more of a need.
"Today there are three types of people… those who've been scammed and know it; those who've been scammed and don't know it; and those who haven't been scammed yet."
Although this should be a scary thought for everyone, the implications for businesses are enormous. That's why we've secured a partnership with One World Labs (OWL)—a company on the forefront of computer network security.
Spearheaded by Chris Roberts, OWL is an IT security company offering security assessments and critical incident responses. OWL has an in-house laboratory staffed with security experts that work at the forefront of vulnerability research. OWL conducts all security services by experienced and certified information security specialists and provides extremely valuable insight into vulnerabilities.
Together, ASG and OWL can now assist companies with all areas of data security, including vulnerability detection and remediation.

Program mutation is a promising method for testing the functional correctness of programs. Its major criticism has been a lack of an efficient implementation method. This report presents four methods which have the potential to dramatically improve the time needed to perform program mutation: distributed computation, automatically detecting equivalent mutants, partial mutant execution, and a 'weak' version of program mutation. The presentation of the four potential speed-up methods is given in terms of a high-level design of a prototype distributed program mutation system. One goal of this system will be to analyze how the parallelism inherent in program mutation can be exploited on emerging distributed computer systems consisting of many processors. Another goal is to perform experiments to measure the gain in efficiency realizable by a distributed program mutation system and to compare the relative strength of weak program mutation against program mutation. In the report we also indicate areas which should receive special attention in the detailed design of a prototype distributed mutation system if these goals are to be met.

(MoneyWatch) For Europe, 2012 began as it did for so many others -- with a hangover.
The symptoms stemmed from a failure by the European Central Bank to bail out the Greek government. A year-and-a-half, earlier the European Union and International Monetary Fund had loaned $144 billion dollars to Greece to avert a default by the country on its financial obligations.
The rescue package came with a lot of strings, notably that Greece take immediate action to sharply cut government spending. Such austerity in public spending, along with tax hikes, was supposed to get Greece's economy going again. In fact, it had precisely the opposite effect, plunging the company into a depression.
As the year began, Greece's unemployment rate was 21 percent, and its debt amounted to 133 percent of the nation's $306 billion GDP. It was clear to all that another bailout was needed, although concerns were growing about throwing good money after bad.
At the same time, investors were getting nervous about deteriorating economic conditions in Italy and Spain. This was driving up the costs of borrowing for both those nations, raising fears that Europe's third- and fourth-largest economies could be shut out of the international borrowing markets altogether. The countries' size would make a bailout impossible.
As 2012 comes to a close, the immediate risk of a Greek default, along with a so-called "Grexit" from the eurozone, have ebbed -- for now. Bond yields in Italy and Spain have receded. But if the currency union is not in imminent danger of collapse, the region's financial crisis continues.

Consumer blogger Liz Kay tells me Saigon Remembered across from the Senator Theatre in Govans has reopened after being closed for a couple of weeks. Banh mi (Vietnamese sandwiches on a baguette) are now available at lunchtime, and the restaurant has started offering free delivery from Roland Park to Ruxton.
I'm afraid Lissa's mini-review of the new Mekong Delta at Cathedral and Saratoga might have gone unnoticed under a previous entry, so I'm going to reprint it here. I was surprised by the name. When I told Movie Critic Mike Sragow about it, he pointed out that the only thing weirder would have been if it were called the Gulf of Tonkin.
Here's her review (Thanks, Lissa): ...
...I got to Mekong Delta. They have $4.75 lunch specials. The summer rolls were not bad, nor was the peanut sauce. My Vietnamese pancake was quite good. It was an eggy crepe stuffed with veggies. The lemongrass chicken was perhaps a tad boring, and the rice was of mediocre quality.
We got a cold soup of lichi, lotus root and some kind of nut (ginko?) for dessert. I liked it, but it wasn't sweet enough for others. Unusual, not for everyone, to be sure.
The lunch menu is quite limited. They have a much longer menu for dinners and the weekend. There is pho, and I'll be back to try it soon. The dinner prices looked quite inexpensive - pho was $8-9.
I enjoyed it. The room is bright with interesting artwork of Vietnam. The owner was willing to explain dishes and make recommendations. Plus the only other place in the area you can get a good lunch for under $5 is Bouillabaisse Cafe.

Rules of Football
by: Austen M
Football is a physical sport. You hit a lot,
you throw the ball, you run the ball, and you also catch the ball.
is a big part of football; all of the positions are offensive Line TE, WR, RB,
FB, and QB. On offense you try to score a touchdown, a touchdown is worth six
points. After a touchdown you can either kick a PAT or go for two. So after you
score a touchdown and kick a PAT or go for two you will either seven or eight
Defense is another part of football. The defensive positions are defensive line MLB, ROLB, LOLB CB, SS, and, FS. On defense you try to stop the offense from scoring.
Special teams
Special team's positions are a little different, and there are six different teams. Kick team is one kick return punt team punt return field goal team and field goal block. On kick team you kick the ball to the return team and try not to let the return score. On kick team there aren't really positions but, there are five people on each side of the kicker. On kick return there are five people on the front line four on the middle line and two people on the back line. On punt team there are six people on the line including the center, two gunners on both sidelines, two blockers about seven yards behind the line, and the punter about fifteen yards behind the line.

EU Investment Spending Seen Sacrificed in Budget Clash
A promised European Union investment budget to modernize the recession-hit economy is set to be scaled back in a bonfire of competing national demands.
Spending on cross-border transport, energy and research projects was chopped in a first round of talks in November and faces further cuts when leaders meet in Brussels today in what all call the last chance to set the 27-nation bloc's budget for 2014-2020.
"We like to talk often about more Europe, but when we talk about the budget we seem to be delivering less Europe," Prime Minister Valdis Dombrovskis of Latvia, which relative to the size of the economy was the second-biggest EU aid recipient in 2011, said in an interview in Riga yesterday.
The euro-area debt crisis leaves less money for the EU-wide budget, in talks haunted by echoes of the financial nationalism of France's Charles De Gaulle in the 1960s and Britain's Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s.
A July 2012 European Commission proposal for a seven-year package of 1.047 trillion euros ($1.4 trillion) was shaved to 973 billion euros in November. The wealthier countries that provide the financing want to shear off another 20 billion euros. The seven-year budget expiring this year totaled 994 billion euros.
A deadlock would hobble subsidy programs, force the EU to fall back to annual budget extensions and add to concerns about Europe's political cohesion that have been inflamed by the financial turmoil.
'Negative Message'
"Further delays would send out a very negative message at this time of fragile economic recovery," Jose Barroso, the commission's president, said yesterday in a European Parliament budget debate in Strasbourg, France.
Whatever the outcome, subsidies from the central budget -- worth barely 1 percent of EU-wide gross domestic product, compared to national spending averaging 50 percent -- will drop in real terms for the first time in EU history.
"If the budget is to help Europe get stronger economically, it's too small to do it anyway," said Jorge Nunez, a researcher at the Centre for European Policy Studies in Brussels. "The budget is completely and utterly out of sync with the challenges."
The leaders' first stab at a deal, on Nov. 22-23, shuffled money from cross-border infrastructure projects to farming to placate France and to regional development to accommodate poorer economies, especially in eastern Europe.
In the process, only 31 billion euros was left from the commission's call for spending of 40 billion euros on international transport, energy and digital networks -- promoted as a driver of future growth.
Cuts Planned
Leaders as ideologically opposed as French President Francois Hollande and U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron connived to wield that knife, in a foretaste of the haggling.
Hollande's insistence on farm subsidies, a mainly French perk dating to the early days of the EU, belied the pro-growth mantra with which he entered the EU arena after his election in May 2012.
The outcome echoed the "weeping and gnashing of teeth" that De Gaulle in 1965 said he encountered after pushing through demands for the then-embryonic union to subsidize French agriculture in addition to opening markets for German industry.
Britain's Cameron has even less room to maneuver after vowing to let U.K. voters decide whether to stay in the EU, assuming they re-elect him in 2015. His lodestar is Thatcher, who won a permanent annual rebate in 1984 to offset the U.K.'s small share of farm aid.
Rebates Sought
Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden have since been granted temporary rebates, and Denmark wants a money-back guarantee as well, sowing divisions among the net payers. In turn, France wants a cap on its contribution to the U.K.'s refund, and Italy -- the biggest net payer in 2011, relative to economic size -- wants a better deal too.
At the November summit, the political contortions culminated with Cameron bowing to the restoration of some farm aid so he could take aim at another target: the salaries and pensions of the EU bureaucracy's 55,000 employees, which make up 6.4 percent of the total budget.
"Brussels continues to exist as if it is in a parallel universe," Cameron said after that summit. "More than 200 commission staff earn more than I do." The prime minister earns 142,500 pounds ($223,241) a year.
Fighting Unemployment
EU President Herman Van Rompuy, who will shepherd the talks, also called for fresh money to combat youth unemployment, without saying how much or where it would come from. Southern countries battling the debt crisis such as Spain, with a youth jobless rate of 55.6 percent, would be the main beneficiaries.
A Brussels official preparing the summit predicted talks that could stretch into the weekend. Briefing reporters on condition of anonymity, the official called it the last chance for an accord before the mid-2014 elections to the EU parliament.
Leaders would need to sell a deal to the parliament, which gained greater powers over spending in a 2009 overhaul of the EU. Legislators of all political stripes served up threats and curses during this week's session in Strasbourg.
Guy Verhofstadt of Belgium, the Liberals' floor leader, denounced a "budgetary swindle." The parliament's president, Martin Schulz, a German Social Democrat, said the assembly won't rubber stamp whatever comes out of the summit. Alain Lamassoure, a French conservative, lamented that "no one is defending Europe. Everyone only speaks of himself."

We went to Cozumel on Saturday the 24. We went to chanacanob as we always do. This is the first time we have been on a Saturday so there were quite a few locals there, who we enjoyed talking to.
We had been in the water and were sunning ourselves under one of the shade huts they have there, when I heard someone yelling from the water, my first thought was they should not yell someone will think they are in trouble, followed by about 10 seconds later more yelling and i thought again they should not yell someone will think they are in trouble this was falled by terrified screaming and I knew someone was in trouble. we ran to the shore and saw 3 young men basically drowning, one was able to pull away and started yelling in spanish hurry! hurry! the others 2 were going under. seems that one of the young men got to far out for his comfort level and his 2 friends tried to help, panic had set in and he pulled them under with him. at this point all I could do was pray, I dont know how to swim but I do go in with a life jacket and feel safe.
Out of every corner of Chanacanob these men came running and became flying fish it seemed but they got to these 2 young men,someone had a life jacket and got it on the inexperienced swimmer and the rest of the men honestly made a life line to get these men to shore. the men were so weak they could not get out of the water without help...I truely saw a miracle that day. These wonderful heros of chanacanob work there and saved these young me.

Thanks Timan and Dazzla who posted this in the BPN on the forums. It seems the .Mac strategy that Apple has implented will cost money. From the site:
- Q: Is it true that Apple will begin charging customers for iTools memberships?
On Wednesday, July 17, 2002, Apple notified its customers that iTools will be replaced by a new membership service called .Mac. The membership includes brand new features, like Backup and Virex anti-virus software, and improved versions of the iTools services, like additional email and iDisk storage. The fee is US$99.95 per year, and as a thank you for being loyal customers, existing iTools members can reserve a first year special offer of $49.95. iTools members will have until September 30 to join .Mac. After this time, original iTools accounts will be deactivated.
- Q: Will current iTools members be given a discount?
Yes. Current iTools members can purchase a one-year .Mac membership for US$49.95. (If purchased within the 60-day grace period). Normal charges (US$99.95) will apply after the first year.
Customers who have already paid for an upgrade to their existing iTools account (for additional storage) will receive the first year of their .Mac membership at no charge. Normal charges (US$99.95) will apply after the first year.

I need your help. My mom found this furniture in an abandoned barn back in 1971 and (believe it or not) found two other matching pieces at a near by 2nd hand store. She had the furniture reupholstered in 2001 and was told that it is Victorian. The five piece set includes two armless chairs, one chair with arms, a love seat, and a rocker. Can anyone please help me to identify this furniture? I would like to get a value for insurance purposes (if needed). Thanks!

text: I've had this problem for a few months now, and was hoping there would be an update to fix it, or that maybe it was just my phone glitching and needing a reset, but resetting/restarting has not helped, and there has been no update to Google Play to resolve the issue. I've looked around for a support forum about the problem, but I cannot seem to find any posts anywhere on the net with someone having the same issue as me. As the title states, when I go into my apps, and click "Update All" to update my apps, the very first time I click it, it opens up a random program (mostly one that's been updated already) then, when I click the back arrow, Google play exits completely. When I reopen Google Play and go back to my apps, hitting update all completely closes out Google play again, and repeats this every time. Now I can update my apps one by one by opening them from my apps list and manually updating them, but since I have a ton of apps, this can become time consuming and tedious, so most of the time my apps don't get updated when they should. Any help would be appreciated, thanks for your time. -Raz

I was visiting a client of mine a week ago, sitting in his office, and we were rapping about stocks, which I am reasonably good at. I've been in the business some time now, but he's been in the business even longer and has accumulated enough wisdom to know that you don't have to trade every stock just because you have an opinion. Going further, you don't even have to have an opinion on every stock. Safety first.
So we were talking about Amazon (AMZN), and for sure I have an opinion on Amazon, and my friend just shakes his head and says, "That one goes in the 'too hard' pile." I laughed, because that's the perfect description of that silly company. There are more disagreements on Amazon's valuation than on any other stock, with the possible exception of Tesla Motors (TSLA). If you want to start an argument at an idea dinner, say the word "Amazon."
For the record, I'm an Amazon bear, and I'm short the stock through options, and I have been for a while. Here's the short version of the bear case: Amazon doesn't make any money. It has made a negligible amount of money since it went public.
The bull case is obviously that Amazon has been grabbing market share for years and will continue to grab market share, and anyone familiar with stock valuation knows that there has to be some pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, some point at which Amazon raises prices, even a little, but I believe it won't -- ever. That's the dirty little secret of founder Jeff Bezos and Amazon, that there's no intent to make an accounting profit -- ever -- and as long as investors continue to reward "growth" -- there is no reason to. Bezos has amassed a $25 billion fortune running a company that has managed to make just a few billion dollars. I find this to be a very elaborate hoax, a mean trick played on us all.
But if I had my client's wisdom and experience, I wouldn't have put it in the "short" pile, I would have put it in the "too hard" pile instead, because how can you predict when the market will someday demand accounting profits? "Eventually" is not a good answer. It has taken 17 years already. It could easily take another 17. Switching sides and being long is equally dangerous, for reasons that should be obvious.
Every once in a while, you run across these hard-to-value stocks (Yelp (YELP) is another recent example), and unless you really understand the business, are truly intimately familiar with it and are comfortable with the bull (or bear) thesis, it is best to just stay away from it. Even better than making money is not losing money.
This is hard for people to understand, especially young people. Everyone goes through a phase, early on in their trading careers (myself included), where it is more important to be right than to make money, where you look at a stock like Yelp, you run some numbers, you say, "This just doesn't make any sense," you think you have identified a mispriced security, and short it. No. It goes in the "too hard" pile. For those of us old enough to have traded in the bubble, back in the late 1990s, the whole market belonged in the "too hard" pile, and there were a lot of smart investors who would have been well served to heed this advice.
The bearish argument often sounds smarter, and it usually is. It's seductive. But even legislators can vote "present" or not show up to vote at all. They're saving reputational capital, and you're saving actual capital, which is more important.

When Renea Anderson came home from her job as a nurse on July 3, she saw blood in her driveway and heard her husband, Dan, screaming at their neighbor, who admitted he had shot the Andersons' two dogs while sitting in his truck on the road.
"I thought we were friends. How could you shoot my dogs," Anderson recalled her husband shouting.
She called 911 and two Jackson County Sheriff's deputies responded. The deputies took statements from witnesses, including the shooter, and made photographs.
But a problem occurred, Anderson said, when a third deputy arrived and immediately called off the investigation.
"He said, 'I can tell you right now. We're not going to do anything. You should have had your dogs put up.' He shut the investigation down right then," Anderson said about the sergeant.
But Anderson said she believed the law had been broken that evening, so she started pursuing the matter through other avenues. She took her evidence to the county's animal control office and when it was presented to a Jackson County Magistrate's Court judge, warrants were issued charging Stanley L. Sims with two counts of felony aggravated cruelty to animals.
On Aug. 29, Sims, 48, of Archer Grove Road, was arrested then released on a $15,000 bond.
Both dogs, a 10-month-old lab and a 18-month-old boxer, were shot with a 20-gauge shotgun loaded with No. 6 shot. Sims told deputies that evening that the dogs had come into his yard and growled at him after he arrived home, according to the incident report. He said he went inside his home, got his gun, and when he returned the dogs were at the edge of his property.
Sims drove onto Archer Grove Road and shot both dogs, according to the incident report.
Afterward, he had a verbal altercation with Dan Anderson, the dogs' owner.
"This is somebody we've known all our lives. We've never had a problem with him," Renea Anderson said of Sims.
Anderson has also filed a citizen's complaint against the sergeant, asking for an internal investigation by the sheriff's office for neglect of duty and unprofessional conduct among other allegations. She has also delivered copies of her complaint to members of the Jackson County Board of Commissioners.
Sheriff Stan Evans and Maj. David Cochran could not immediately be reached for comment last week on procedures for handling the complaint.
The Andersons are upset that Sims was not charged that day with discharging a firearm on a public road.
"I have three children and this man shot a gun 23 yards from my neighbor's house in the roadway," she said.
But the sergeant said the only law Sims broke that day was discharging his firearm on a public roadway. However, Anderson said he told her it was within his discretion as an officer not to file the charge against Sims. Anderson has a recording of the officer telling her this on a copy of a 911 tape made that night.
The incident report also notes that Dan Anderson got aggressive after the shooting and that he appeared to be intoxicated. Deputies warned him to leave Sims alone.
Sims told the deputies that Anderson cussed him and called him names, according to the report.
Renea Anderson said this is untrue, but that the sergeant did threaten to have her husband arrested.
The veterinary report shows that the boxer had at least 100 pellet wounds, will need therapy for the rest of his life and a front leg might require amputation.

New AMD driver fixes RX 480 power draw without sacrificing performance
It's been a hell of a week for graphics card enthusiasts. Yesterday, Nvidia's 1060 was officially revealed, promising a card that matches the former flagship GTX 980 in performance, for a fraction of the cost.
It also came to light that AMD's equally budget-conscious, recently released RX 480 has a power draw issue, frequently pulling far more power from the PCIe bus than the spec allows for. It's ideally an issue that shouldn't have happened. In its quest for perceived power efficiency, AMD opted to use a lone 6-pin connector to keep the card's TDP at 150. Had its engineers instead opted for an 8-Pin, there wouldn't be an issue with power draw, but once again AMD's cards would be fingered as being power-hungry. It's something that's happened anyway, with Nvidia being confident that the 1060 has a TDP of 120w.
That said, AMD's response to the situation has been fantastic. They've owned up, admitting that the card draws too much power, and promised that a driver-based solution would be coming this week. And they've delivered.
The new 16.7.1 Radeon driver is available, and it seems to have lowered the power draw of the card significantly, without any perceivable compromises to performance. According to the folks at PCPer the AMD RX 480 when set to compatibility mode still sometimes draws a little more juice than the PCIe spec allows for, but it's such a small overage that it's no longer potentially dangerous.
"With the two new fixes, AMD has brought the reference boards back to where we expected them to be. The power phase weighting adjustment is in my mind, the most crucial change. By allowing the 6-pin power connection to provide more of the power to the card than the +12V on the PCI Express graphics slot, there is significantly reduced worry about power draw through the motherboard. Even though we still found that the current readings were over the 5.5A level that the specification says is a maximum, the change gets the RX 480 much closer, and with zero impact on card performance."
Here's what the new driver does:
You can – and really SHOULD – download the 16.7.1 driver if you own an RX480 from AMD right now. Just remember that the compatibility mode that lowers TDP is off by default, so if you're worried, you may want to toggle that on.

FILED: January 21, 2009
Lane County Circuit Court
Darryl L. Larson, Judge.
Submitted on May 28, 2008.
Peter Gartlan, Chief Defender, and David Ferry, Deputy Public Defender, Office of Public Defense Services, filed the brief for appellant.
Hardy Myers, Attorney General, Mary H. Williams, Solicitor General, and Susan G. Howe, Senior Assistant Attorney General, filed the brief for respondent.
Before Brewer, Chief Judge, and Ortega, Judge, and Carson, Senior Judge.
Reversed and remanded.
Following a stipulated facts trial, defendant was convicted of unlawful possession of a controlled substance.Ā
Former ORS 475.992 (2003), renumbered as ORS 475.840 (2005).Ā He appeals, assigning error to the trial court's denial of his motions to suppress evidence discovered during a warrant search of his bedroom and inculpatory statements he made following discovery of that evidence.Ā We are bound by the trial court's findings of historical fact if they are supported by constitutionally sufficient evidence in the record and review the trial court's legal conclusions for errors of law.Ā State v. Ehly, 317 Or 66, 74-75, 854 P2d 421 (1993).Ā We agree with the trial court that no constitutional error required suppression of the evidence discovered during the warrant search, but conclude that defendant's statements should have been suppressed.Ā Accordingly, we reverse and remand.
Defendant rented an upstairs bedroom in a house in Springfield.Ā The house belonged to Garcia, who also resided there.Ā One May morning, Springfield Police Officer Molony, assisted by several other officers, executed a search warrant authorizing the search of "the entire house for any means of forgery," including checks and identification.(1)Ā The warrant also directed the officers to arrest Garcia--the suspect in a forgery and identity theft case--and listed Garcia's mother--who also resided in the house--as a person to be searched.Ā The warrant did not mention defendant by name or otherwise.
When the officers entered the residence, they immediately encountered Garcia and took him into custody.Ā Molony remained with Garcia while the other officers, for their safety, searched the house for other individuals.Ā Officers found defendant and a companion, Hendricks, in a bedroom.Ā Defendant and Hendricks were handcuffed and taken downstairs where, along with Garcia, they were advised of their Miranda rights.Ā Defendant indicated to the officers that he understood those rights.
A detective, Boring, assisted by the officers, then began to search the residence in accordance with the warrant.Ā Molony and another detective, Rappe, remained with defendant, Garcia, and Hendricks.Ā As part of the search, the officers searched the room in which defendant and Hendricks had been found.Ā They discovered a personal photograph of defendant and his girlfriend, a letter, and a white powdery substance on a mirror in the bedroom closet.Ā Based on his training and experience, Boring believed the substance to be methamphetamine.Ā Boring took the mirror to Rappe, who was cataloguing seized items.Ā Rappe bagged the substance and documented where it had been found.Ā By that time, approximately one hour had passed since defendant and Hendricks had been brought downstairs.
Meanwhile, at some point after defendant, Garcia, and Hendricks were advised of their Miranda rights, a conversation began between the detained trio and Rappe.Ā The record does not indicate who initiated the conversation, which Rappe described as "low-key."Ā Following the discovery of the substance, defendant admitted to Rappe--whether spontaneously or in response to questioning is unclear--that the bedroom in which the mirror had been found was his own.Ā Defendant also stated that he owned the mirror and confirmed that the substance was methamphetamine.Ā Defendant further informed Rappe that he had set out the methamphetamine in anticipation of smoking it.Ā By contrast, Hendricks denied ownership of the methamphetamine.Ā A field test confirmed that the substance was methamphetamine.
Defendant was charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance.Ā Before trial, he moved to suppress evidence of the methamphetamine and his inculpatory statements.Ā At the suppression hearing, defendant contended that the officers' search of his bedroom was illegal because his room was not within the scope of the warrant for the house.Ā Defendant argued that Article I, section 9, of the Oregon Constitution and the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution required the officers to obtain a separate warrant before searching his bedroom.(2)Ā Defendant asserted that there was no reason to believe that the fruits of a third party's crimes would be found in his bedroom.Ā Defendant based his motion to suppress his inculpatory statements on the theory that he had been unlawfully seized when the officers handcuffed him.Ā Defendant contended that, because his statements were the product of that illegal seizure, the statements had to be suppressed.Ā
The trial court denied both motions.Ā As to defendant's motion to suppress the methamphetamine, the court concluded that, because the officers had a valid search warrant authorizing the search of the house for small and easily concealed items, they were authorized to search all places in the house where such items could be hidden, including defendant's bedroom.Ā As to defendant's motion to suppress his inculpatory statements, the court concluded that defendant had been detained for safety reasons and that that detention was authorized by ORS 133.605(1).(3)Ā The court also found that the statements had been lawfully obtained, explaining that they had been made after defendant had been apprised of his Miranda rights, that there was no evidence that the statements had been compelled by threats or promises, and that defendant had freely made the statements.
On appeal, defendant renews the arguments that he made before the trial court.Ā We begin our discussion with defendant's contention that the officers should have obtained a separate search warrant to lawfully search his bedroom.Ā This court recently considered a similar argument in State v. Ramirez, 223 Or App 241, 195 P3d 460 (2008).Ā There, a search warrant authorized the search of the defendant's apartment--which he shared with other persons--for evidence of controlled substances.Ā Id. at 244.Ā While speaking with the defendant's roommates, the officers observed methamphetamine, other objects, and behavior that led them to believe that illegal drug activity was occurring at the apartment and used that information to obtain the warrant.Ā Id. at 243-44.Ā When the officers executed the warrant, they found evidence of drug activity in the defendant's bedroom.Ā Id. at 244.Ā The trial court granted the defendant's motion to suppress that evidence, reasoning that the affidavit was insufficient to establish that the defendant, as opposed to his roommates, was involved in the drug activity.Ā The trial court further held that, because the defendant's bedroom was a separate living unit of the apartment, specific information was required to establish probable cause to search the defendant's bedroom.Ā Id. at 245.
On appeal, this court concluded that the trial court erred because the defendant had presented no evidence that his bedroom was "anything other than an ordinary bedroom in a residence."Ā Id. at 246; see also State v. Coatney, 44 Or App 13, 18, 604 P2d 1269, rev den, 289 Or 107 (1980) (the defendant has the burden of proving that a search conducted pursuant to a search warrant was unlawful).Ā We explained that, generally, a search warrant issued for the search of a residential unit authorizes the search of the entire residence unless the residence contains separate units and subunits and emphasized that the mere fact that multiple persons reside in a residence does not automatically convert the residence into a multiple-unit structure.Ā Ramirez, 223 Or App at 246.Ā Instead, information about the residence, including its physical structure, whether the doors to different parts of the living unit have locks and are locked, and whether the occupants of the different parts have restricted other persons' access, are pertinent considerations.Ā Id.
This case is like Ramirez.Ā Defendant has not presented any evidence indicating that his bedroom was a separate unit of Garcia's house.Ā There is no evidence that his bedroom door had a separate lock, nor is there any evidence that defendant's bedroom door was even shut as the officers conducted their safety search of the house.Ā Furthermore, defendant has neither provided any evidence that he limited other residents' access to his bedroom, nor any that his room included a kitchen, bathroom, or any other characteristics of a separate living unit.Ā See State v. Devine, 307 Or 341, 344, 768 P2d 913 (1989) (describing several characteristics of a separate living unit).Ā Accordingly, Article I, section 9, did not require the officers to obtain a separate warrant to search defendant's bedroom.
We reach a similar conclusion with regard to the Fourth Amendment.Ā A warrant may authorize a search of an entire street address while reciting probable cause as to only a portion of the premises (1) if the premises are occupied in common rather than individually; (2) if a multiunit building is used as a single entity; (3) if the defendant was in control of the whole premises; or (4) if the entire premises are suspect.Ā United States v. Whitten, 706 F2d 1000, 1008 (9th Cir 1983), cert den, 465 US 1100 (1984).Ā Here, it is apparent that the entire premises were suspect.Ā Garcia owned the house and resided there with his mother, who was also a suspect in the forgery investigation.Ā As noted, the warrant authorized the seizure of various instruments of forgery--such as checks and identification--that are readily concealable.Ā As such, probable cause existed to search the entire residence.Ā Accordingly, the trial court correctly denied defendant's motion to suppress the evidence of methamphetamine found in his bedroom.
We next address defendant's contention that he was seized when officers handcuffed him while executing the search warrant.Ā He asserts that the officers lacked reasonable suspicion to believe that he had committed a crime and that there is no evidence that he presented a threat to the officers' safety.Ā Defendant contends that his inculpatory statements must be suppressed as the product of an unlawful seizure.Ā The state concedes that the officers lacked reasonable suspicion to believe that defendant had either committed a crime or presented a threat to their safety.Ā Nevertheless, the state argues that, because ORS 133.605(1) authorized the officers to detain defendant as they executed the search warrant, the officers could lawfully handcuff defendant.Ā According to the state, because defendant does not challenge the reasonableness of the force used to detain him, we need only consider whether the officers had authority to detain defendant.
Whether the officers had statutory authority to detain defendant during their execution of the warrant does not answer the question of whether the method of detention--handcuffing--was constitutional.Ā Article I, section 9, allows an officer to take
"reasonable steps to protect himself or others if, during the course of a lawful encounter with a citizen, the officer develops a reasonable suspicion, based upon specific and articulable facts, that the citizen might pose an immediate threat of serious physical injury to the officer or to others then present."
State v. Bates, 304 Or 519, 524, 747 P2d 991 (1987).Ā In evaluating an officer's actions under the constitution, we focus on the reasonableness of those actions in the light of "the circumstances as they reasonably appeared at the time" they were taken.Ā Id. at 525.Ā We are mindful that, as part of their duties, police officers frequently must make life-or-death decisions in a matter of seconds.Ā In those situations, there "may be little or no time in which to weigh the magnitude of a potential safety risk against the intrusiveness of protective measures."Ā Id. at 524.Ā As a result, officers "must be allowed considerable latitude to take safety precautions in such situations" and "it is not our function to uncharitably second-guess an officer's judgment."Ā Id.Ā We recognize that the execution of a search warrant is one situation in which officers must be especially vigilant.Ā Nevertheless, intuition and a general concern for safety do not themselves give rise to reasonable suspicion of an immediate threat to the safety of the officers or others present at a search.Ā State v. Reinhardt, 140 Or App 557, 562, 916 P2d 313 (1996), rev dismissed, 327 Or 521 (1998).Ā There must be specific and articulable facts to justify an officer's conclusion that a particular person presented an immediate threat of harm.Ā Id. at 563.Ā
After reviewing the record, we agree with, and accept, the state's concession that the officers lacked reasonable suspicion that defendant posed a threat to their safety or that he had committed a crime.Ā When officers execute a search warrant and have reason to believe that at least some of the persons present are armed and dangerous, officer safety concerns permit officers to handcuff and detain all persons who are present, even persons not named in the warrant.Ā State v. Swibies, 183 Or App 460, 467, 53 P3d 447 (2002).Ā Conversely, if officers do not have reason to believe that persons present are armed or otherwise dangerous, something more specific must be shown before officers may handcuff persons whom they find while executing the warrant.Ā Id. Āat 467-68.Ā In this case, nothing in the record suggests that the officers possessed information that either Garcia or his mother, let alone defendant, was armed or dangerous.Ā Cf. State v. Barnett, 132 Or App 520, 524, 888 P2d 1064, rev den, 321 Or 137 (1995) (officers could handcuff a defendant who was not a subject of a warrant because the officers had information that the warrant's subjects were armed and dangerous and had readily available weapons). ĀNone of the officers who testified at the suppression hearing ever stated a belief that defendant, Hendricks, or Garcia posed a threat to officer safety or that defendant had committed any crime.Ā It follows that, under the circumstances, the officers' handcuffing of defendant was an unconstitutional seizure.
However, suppression of defendant's statements does not invariably follow from that conclusion.Ā Under Oregon law, suppression of unlawfully obtained evidence is remedial--its purpose is to restore the defendant to the same position as if the government had stayed within the law.Ā State v. Davis, 295 Or 227, 233-34, 666 P2d 802 (1983).Ā Accordingly, we must consider whether the evidence sought to be suppressed was obtained as a result of a violation of defendant's Article I, section 9, rights.Ā State v. Hall, 339 Or 7, 24, 115 P3d 908 (2005).Ā In doing so, we first determine whether a defendant has established a "minimal factual nexus" between the unlawful stop and the evidence to be suppressed.Ā State v. Tyler, 218 Or App 105, 110, 178 P3d 282 (2008).Ā A nexus exists if there is a "but for" relationship between the unlawful stop and the evidence sought to be suppressed.Ā Id.
As an initial matter, we conclude that defendant has established the necessary "but for" causation.Ā Had defendant not been detained and handcuffed, the officers would not have been in a position to obtain his statements admitting to possession of the seized methamphetamine.Ā See State v. Rodgers, 219 Or App 366, 374, 182 P3d 209, rev allowed, 345 Or 341 (2008) (the requisite causal nexus is established where, "but for the unlawful seizure, [police] would not have been in a position to request consent").
Our inquiry does not end there.Ā Instead, the burden shifts to the state to establish either that the evidence would have been obtained independently of the illegality or that the connection between the unlawful stop and the evidence is attenuated.Ā If the state can establish independence, the evidence is not tainted and is admissible.Ā If the state cannot establish independence, it must show attenuation.Ā Tyler, 218 Or App at 110.Ā Factors that the state may use for doing so include the lack of temporal proximity between the illegal action by the police and the discovery of the subsequent evidence, and the presence of intervening or mitigating circumstances.Ā State v. Wolfe, 295 Or 567, 572, 669 P2d 320 (1983).Ā
Here, the state contends that this case should be remanded for further factfinding regarding attenuation because, according to the state, the trial court "did not make any factual findings or conclusions of law with respect to whether, under the totality of [the] circumstances, [apprising defendant of his Miranda rights] provided a sufficient temporal break."Ā We view the record differently.Ā Although the trial court found that defendant had been lawfully detained, it also noted that defendant's conversation with Rappe occurred after defendant had been advised of his Miranda rights and explained that, in its view, the statements had been lawfully obtained.Ā Thus, it appears that the trial court concluded that, even if defendant had been illegally stopped, the Miranda warnings attenuated the illegal stop.
We disagree with that conclusion.Ā As we have recently noted, Miranda warnings do not function as a "universal solvent" that, with nothing more, break the causal chain.Ā State v. Ayles, 220 Or App 606, 614, 188 P3d 378, rev allowed, 345 Or 460 (2008).Ā Instead, the purported attenuating effect of Miranda must be assessed in the totality of the circumstances, including whether the defendant subsequently, and without police prompting, unilaterally volunteered the disputed evidence.Ā Id. at 616.Ā Under the circumstances at issue here, we cannot say that the warnings helped to attenuate the causal connection between the officers' illegal stop of defendant and his inculpatory statements.Ā Although the state presented evidence that defendant inculpated himself after receiving Miranda warnings, the state failed to present evidence about whether those statements were spontaneous or prompted by police questioning.Ā The passage of an hour between defendant being handcuffed--the illegal seizure--and his inculpatory statements is similarly unavailing because defendant remained in handcuffs throughout that period.Ā Because the state did not demonstrate that defendant's statements were attenuated from the preceding unconstitutional stop, the trial court erred in denying defendant's motion to suppress his inculpatory statements.
Reversed and remanded.
1. The search warrant was not part of the record before the trial court.Ā However, because defendant did not challenge the warrant's existence, the court could properly rely on the testimony of the officers who executed the warrant to establish its existence.Ā See State v. Hall, 166 Or App 348, 357-58, 999 P2d 509 (2000).

Friday Scrapbook Funnies: Introducing The Hilarious Thena
Long before Thena Smith was a published author of adorable scrapbook related poetry, I used to chat with her occasionally on a scrapbook message board. She was always one to help another scrapbooker in need of the perfect poem for a layout. She continues to help, but has now had a book published and is still queen poetry around some of the more popular message boards. I have saved over the years, some of the funnier poetry that Thena had shared with us. I thought I'd end our week by sharing two with you. I hope that you enjoy and … Continue reading

From my hidden camera in Donnie's office
Secretary: Ron is here to see you now, Donnie
DW: (coughs, stamps out cigarette butt) OK Betty, send him in
(door creaks)
DW: Hi Ron! A little late, but have a seat—we've got a lot to talk about
Ron: Umm… OK, but first… (reaches for his belt)
DW: Don't shoot me Ron! (falls to his knees)
Ron: Hey Donnie, chill…I just tucked a copy of my new CD under my belt to give to you.
DW: OK… but I'm not into that new-fangled music.
Ron: You'll like it…
DW: I'm more of a Barbara Streisand/Bette Midler type, to be honest, along with the soundtracks to the Godfather movies.
Ron: (blinks his eyes 30 times in silence)… Umm… then give it to Larry.
DW: Larry just listens to "Achey Breakie Heart" over and over again. Here, I'll give it to Mel Daniels. He had some grandkids, I think.
DW: So Ron, what's this from your agent about you not happy if you were in Sacramento?
Ron: My agent says some crazy *****, man…
DW: where did you get him?
Ron: He's a supervisor at Circuit City.
DW: WTF is that?
Ron: You know… stereo stuff. He buys things for me at the employee discount.
DW: Why would you hire him as an agent?
Ron: They got good stuff there, that Circuit City. And bigger discounts than my last agent from Best Buy.

A FOURTH body has been recovered after floods in the western US state of Colorado, as the area received nearly half its normal annual rainfall in a single day, reports say.
Officials in Boulder County, in the northeast of the state, recovered the body of a woman swept away after leaving her vehicle on Thursday, Sheriff Joe Pelle said, according to CNN.
The body of a man who left the same car had already been recovered.
An estimated 38 centimetres of rain fell on the area on Thursday.
About 80 people in Boulder have been reported missing, CNN reported, quoting a local sheriff department spokeswoman.
President Barack Obama declared a state of emergency for Boulder and the nearby counties of El Paso and Larimer, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) said.
The declaration orders federal aid to supplement state and local response efforts.
The National Weather Service issued a flood warning and said flooding and heavy rain would continue late on Friday.
Several areas were under evacuation orders, the Denver Post reported.
The Rocky Mountain National Park was closed to visitors, according to the park's website, and the University of Colorado cancelled Saturday's scheduled football game.

COSEWIC Status Reports
COSEWIC Assessment and Status Report on the Western Bumble Bee Bombus occidentalis in Canada (2014)Western Bumble Bee, Bombus occidentalis Greene, is one of five North American members of the subgenus Bombus sensu stricto. It is a medium-sized (1 – 2 cm) bumble bee with a short head. The abdomen is colour variable, but all individuals have a transverse band of yellow hair on the thorax in front of the wing bases, and the tip of the abdomen is almost always white. Bumble bee taxonomy is widely debated, including the taxonomic history of Western Bumble Bee. The species was once considered synonymous with Yellow-banded Bumble Bee; however, recent genetic work confirms these two species as separate. Additional recent taxonomic work further splits Western Bumble Bee into two separate subspecies: Bombus occidentalis occidentalis and Bombus occidentalis, based on genetic, morphological and distributional information.
Response Statements
Response Statement - Western Bumble Bee mckayi subspecies (2015)This subspecies ranges in Canada from northern British Columbia (north of approximately 55-57ºN) through southern Yukon and westernmost Northwest Territories; at least 50% of its global range is in Canada. Recent surveys in northwestern Canada and Alaska suggest that it is still common. However, the southern subspecies of the Western Bumble Bee is experiencing a serious, apparently northward-moving decline, and because the causes of this decline are unknown, the northern subspecies faces an uncertain future. Recent studies in Alaska suggest that this subspecies has among the highest parasite loads (particularly the microsporidian Nosema bombi) of any bumble bee species in North America. Other potential threats include the unknown transmission of disease from exotic bumble bee species introduced for pollination in greenhouses (ongoing in the Yukon), pesticide use (including neonicitinoid compounds), and habitat change.

Consultation Documents
Consultation on Amending the List of Species under the Species at Risk Act : Terrestrial Species - January 2015 (2015)The Government of Canada is committed to preventing the disappearance of wildlife species at risk from our lands. As part of its strategy for realizing that commitment, on June 5, 2003, the Government of Canada proclaimed the Species at Risk Act (SARA). Attached to the Act is Schedule 1, the list of the species provided for under SARA, also called the List of Wildlife Species at Risk. Extirpated, Endangered and Threatened species on Schedule 1 benefit from the protection of prohibitions and recovery planning requirements under SARA. Special Concern species benefit from its management planning requirements. Schedule 1 has grown from the original 233 to 521 wildlife species at risk. Please submit your comments byApril 15, 2015, for terrestrial species undergoing normal consultationsand byOctober 15, 2015, for terrestrial species undergoing extended consultations.For a description of the consultation paths these species will undergo, please see:Species at Risk Public Registry website

Rowan University Art Gallery
Opening Reception: January 20, 5:30 - 7:30 ppm
Acting Out features the work of Nina Katchadourian, Fahamu Pecou, Nancy Popp, Shana Robbins, Joe Sola, and Jaimie Warren at Rowan University Art Gallery January 20 –March 12, 2011. These six contemporary artists utilize their own bodies as the key element in works that explore human agency, normalcy, fantasy and self-promotion. Curated by Stuart Horodner, Artistic Director of the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center. A reception featuring a gallery talk by the curator is January 20 from 5:30 – 7:30 pm.
The exhibition title, Acting Out, conjures the psychological response of a child or adolescent to an unpleasant situation. It speaks to actions that are emotional and intense, but also to notions of play and therapeutic resolution. Each participating artist - using combinations of painting, photography, video and performance - defines specific states of being informed by gender, race, mobility and desire. The artists' activities are generated in traditional studios as well as carefully selected locations (city streets, forests, deserts) that act as stages for precise gestures produced for the camera, canvas or passersby.
Curator Stuart Horodner, artistic director of the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, notes that Acting Out seeks to engage notions of who and how to be. Presented in the context of a university gallery, it speaks to youthful questions about identity and possibility. By bringing together artists using diverse media with seriousness and silliness, the exhibition posits that personal investigations of self and sensibility are always in flux, modified by context and empowered by curiosity and risk.
In addition to his work at the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, Horodner has served in director and curator positions at art centers and universities including the Atlanta College of Art Gallery, Portland Institute for Contemporary Art and Bucknell University Art Gallery. He was the founder and co-organizer of "Affair" at the Jupiter Hotel, an intimate art fair in Portland, OR from 2004-2007; and was co-owner and director of the Horodner Romley Gallery from 1992-97. His art writing has appeared in publications including Art Lies, Art Issues, Bomb, Dazed & Confused, Sculpture and Surface.
Admission to exhibit and reception is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Monday – Friday, 10 am to 5 pm, and Saturday, 12 to 5 pm. For more information, call 856-256-4521 or visit www.rowan.edu/fpa/artgallery. Rowan University Art Gallery is located on the lower level of Westby Hall on the university campus, Route 322 in Glassboro, NJ.

For Unmarried Couples, Same-Sex Couples, and Family Members
Here at Duke, we work with donors with many different personal and family situations—singles, couples, heterosexual, LGBTQ, married, unmarried, long-term partners, with kids or without, or those who have other loved ones for whom they wish to provide.
While each family may be unique in its form, they all share common financial and personal goals. They often seek financial security and the ability to provide for one another, yet they may lack the federal inheritance and tax benefits historically accorded to heterosexual marriages. Now, these same benefits have also been extended to married LGBTQ couples under the 2015 Supreme Court of the United States decision in Obergefell v. Hodges. However, no such benefits shall be given to couples who do not choose to legally marry, regardless of their commitment to each other, nor shall such benefits be given to other forms of familial relationships.
Charitable gift planning can be one avenue to help these couples and families achieve some of their financial and personal goals, even within these sometimes tricky and unfavorable tax and legal frameworks. Certain charitable gift strategies may allow more wealth to be transferred from one partner or family member to another than would otherwise be possible. These strategies can also provide a certainty that the gift to loved ones will be not subject to will challenge. Among the options:
- Life income gifts can provide an income stream for you and a family member with payments for the duration of your lives or for a specific number of years, while also ensuring that chosen charities will be supported after death.
- Charitable gift annuities provide a fixed income for life.
- Charitable remainder trusts provide variable payments for a period of years or for life through a tax-exempt trust.
- Charitable lead trusts can provide a highly tax-advantaged way to transfer assets to another person after a specific period of time while supporting a chosen charity.
- Gifts of remainder interests in real property allow both individuals to remain in a home throughout their lifetimes while ensuring the property will eventually support a chosen nonprofit.
- Establishing a bequest or designating a partner as a primary beneficiary of your retirement plan and a charitable organization as a contingent beneficiary may allow you to protect a partner while making a more substantial charitable gift than you may have imagined possible.
Our office can work with you and your financial advisor to develop a gift plan that meets your financial, personal, and philanthropic goals. We invite you to contact the Office of Gift Planning at Duke University to learn more.
