Women's Division II Tournament
When: Friday, 3 p.m.
Who: No. 5 SNHU vs. No. 4 Dowling
Winner plays: Sunday at noon vs. No. 1 LIU-Post.
MANCHESTER - No one saw it coming, but Southern New Hampshire University is certainly embracing it.
"It's a pleasant surprise," said Chad Mason, associate director of athletics at SNHU, which is hosting the first and second rounds of both the NCAA Division II women's and men's soccer tournaments this weekend at George Larkin Field.
On the women's side SNHU (13-5-3), the No. 5 seed, will meet fourth-seeded Dowling College (13-3-2) on Friday at 3 p.m. The winner will advance to Sunday's second round noon start against top-seeded LIU-Post (15-2-2).
The SNHU men (17-3) earned their fifth straight NCAA tournament berth as the No. 2 seed. On Friday at 6 p.m., No. 6 seed Franklin Pierce University (11-5-2) will play No. 3 seed Merrimack (14-3-2). The winner will advance to Sunday's 3 p.m. second-round game against the Penmen.
The SNHU women earned an automatic berth into the field of 48 by capturing the program's first Northeast-10 tournament championship Sunday with a 1-0 win over Adelphi University. It's the program's third NCAA appearance, with the others coming in 1997 and 2003. Dowling also earned automatic qualification when it edged Bridgeport 1-0 in the East Coast Conference title game on Sunday.
"First of all our women's team is having a great year." said Mason. "They're peaking at the right time, certainly getting hot at the right time. We were not expecting to host the women's tournament but, unfortunately, Hurricane Sandy with all its devestation caused LIU-Post (located in Brookville, N.Y.) to withdraw its bid to host the tournament as the No. 1 seed."
Mason said at that point the NCAA decided SNHU was the place to move the tournament. "I'd like to think that the main reason the NCAA felt comfortable about letting us host the tournament is because we have a nice track record of hosting these events. We've proven to the NCAA that we're very capable of running it."
It's already been a banner year for SNHU. Their baseball program hosted the NCAA regionals last spring and Mason pointed out that both the men's and women's tennis programs have qualified for NCAA tournament play the last two straight seasons.
"It's a great moment for our entire athletic department," said Mason. "It's something we're all proud of here."
There's not much history between Dowling and SNHU in women's soccer. Greg Royce, sports information director at SNHU, said both programs have met just once, resulting in a 3-2 Penmen win in 2009.
In the Penmen's 1-0 win against Adelphi Sunday at Larkin Field, Ashley Jaskula scored midway through the first half and Samantha Whittier posted her third straight shutout in goal.
SNHU has received contributions from local players on the team. Senior goalie Maggie Weldon, a product of Manchester West, has compiled an 8-5-3 record in 16 game starts with an 0.89 GAA. She has three shutouts. Senior midfielder Kaleigh Roberge, who played for Manchester Memorial, has bolstered the offense this season with seven goals and seven assists. She has five game-winning goals on the season.
Senior midfielder/forward Kasey Morrison of Hampton also has two goals and two assists. The women enter Friday's game with a four-game winning streak, including three straight shutout wins against New Haven (2-0 at home, NE-10 quarterfinals), St. Rose (1-0 semifinal win on the road) and Adelphi for the program's first NE-10 tournament crown.
The SNHU men captured their fourth Northeast-10 tournament championship on Sunday. They're making their fifth straight and 18th overall appearance in the NCAA Division II tournament. Last Sunday in their 2-1 NE-10 finals win against No. 1 seed Merrimack, Mohamed Toufik's second half goal was the game-winner, snapping Merrimack's 13-game unbeaten streak. Sam Kelley of Bedford scored his third season goal in that game for SNHU.
Local products Yannick Kabala (Manchester Central) and Christian Rodriguez (Manchester Memorial) have helped SNHU win its last five games and seven of its last eight. Kabala, a sophomore midfielder, has two goals and one assist this season while Rodriguez, a senior midfielder, has five assists.
Junior goalie Dom DiMaggio has been solid in nets. He carrie a 15-3 record with nine shutouts and a 0.50 GAA. He has allowed nine goals.
During the regular season the Penmen beat Merrimack 2-1 in North Andover on Sept. 11 and four days later lost to Franklin Pierce in Rindge, 1-0.
The Penmen are just the third school to claim both NE-10 soccer crowns for men and women in the same year. Springfield College did it in 1989 while Franklin Pierce achieved the feat in 2006.
Ticket prices for each game are $6 for adults and $2 for students with ID, seniors, and children 12 and under. Children under 2 are free.
SNHU students with valid ID will be admitted free on Friday courtesy of the SNHU Student Government Association, and also on Sunday should the Penmen advance.

When in Rome (US - BD RA)
Gabe thinks this Kristen Bell vehicle would work better as a horror movie...
Guggenheim art curator Beth (Kristen Bell) is too busy being a young professional to be in a healthy relationship. One day her more impulsive younger sister Joan (Alexis Dziena) announces she's getting married in Rome, and Beth is forced into leaving New York for the weekend to act as a maid of honour. At the incredibly awkward wedding she meets Nicholas Beamon (Josh Duhamel), a charming ex-football player also living in New York, and the two hit it off, but following a terrible misunderstanding Beth drunkenly decides to steal four coins and a poker chip from 'The Fountain of Love' in hopes of winning easy, undying love. Unfortunately, the magical fountain compels the coins' owners to seek out Beth's affection, and her life is made a living hell of strangers that don't understand the meaning of 'no means no'.
'Yuck' is my one word review for When in Rome, a formula embracing, mega-generic rom-com that gives formula embracing, mega-generic rom-coms a bad name. The use of the formula is, of course, forgivable (says the guy who owns a couple dozen slasher movies), but When in Rome is so gleefully predictable it's hard to assume anything but the worst when picturing the film's pre-production meetings. I'm picturing someone at Disney deciding to put another 'professional with no time for love finds it anyway' crowd-pleaser into production based on The Proposal's impressive box office run. Someone else attached popular television actress Kristin Bell to the project, and used The Proposal itself (seriously, the tag line is 'from the studio that brought you The Proposal, as if the two films are somehow related otherwise) as selling points. Curiously the producers hired Mark Steven Johnson to direct the project. Yeah, the Daredevil guy. Johnson was original known for his Grumpy Old Men series scripts (not to mention, ugh, Jack Frost and, bleh, Big Bully), so had When in Rome been made fifteen years ago his presence might of made sense, but post- Daredevil the move seems pretty random. Even stranger is the fact that Johnson appears to have come to the project as a director for hire, and was not involved with the original script, a first for any of his directed films. Think about that for a minute—the guy that made such uneven vanity projects as Daredevil and Ghost Rider has no investment in this project outside a paycheque.
So it's pretty clear that no one here really cares about When in Rome as anything other than a product, like a bag of Doritos or a can of Pepsi, except maybe Bell and co-star Josh Duhamel, who probably hope their performances will get them wider exposure in the mainstream. There are a few bright spots of inspired idiocy, like a wacky date at an entirely darkened restaurant, and Bell and Duhamel are genuinely charming for the most part, but the blasé treatment is contagious. There's even a second climax and a Mama Mia inspired dance sequence added to fill in the final ten or fifteen minutes, as if no one noticed they didn't have a feature length release until they'd finished editing. How could this be fixed? Very easily, actually. There's so much skin crawling creepiness in the basic plot set-up When in Rome could've made a pretty successful horror film. Instead of just being creepy, Beth's suitors could be easily turned sinister rapist zombies. I'd pay to see Bell going Rambo on a handful of sex-starved, unstoppable, undead love slaves, and the supernatural fountain adds a nice Japanese ghost story angle.
There aren't any surprises in this 1080p transfer, which should be taken as a good thing considering the film's short-sighted aspirations. When in Rome follows all the visual leads set by romantic comedies for the last ten years, including bright and soft lighting schemes, amped up, pastel colours, and my personal favourite, a general yellowing of the entire palette (see, I used the right one this time). This yellowing, which serves no purpose other than to make the whole film seem generically 'sunny', seems to have been added in post, as the deleted scenes do not feature any tinting. The whole of the New York sequences feature a lot of black and white contrast, in that all the costumes are black, and all the backgrounds are white. These harsh contrasts feature minor edge-enhancement, but overall fine grain is clearly a bigger blemish, and thicker than anticipated. The Rome scenes are slightly softened, especially during character close-ups (which look a bit TV Soap Opera), but feature very impressive wide shots, including some images of the city that would do a postcard proud. Close-up details aren't super-sharp, but sharp enough to catch the little beads of sweat on Bell's cleavage. Not that I was looking. The biggest problem with the whole visual representation is the 2.35:1 framing, which very much not the fault of the disc's producers. Any two shot featuring Bell, who features in almost every frame of the film, is a huge problem for head room.
The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack also features nothing in the way of surprises, but gets its minimalist job done. Most of the track is devoted to the centred and clear dialogue, and the soundtrack selling songs, but the effects are not entirely lost, or even entirely frontal. Aural highlights include the wedding reception sequence, with its singing and dancing crowds, the dark restaurant scene, and the goofy, mini-car race through the city. The musical components of the mix are pretty soft, though the obnoxious pop elements do have some decent LFE presence. Mixing down a Christopher Young score this low should probably be a crime, though. My review copy features more than a few brief instances of audio drop out, which have hopefully been caught a fixed by Disney for the full release copies.
The extras are mercifully brief, and begin with Blu-ray exclusive alternate openings and endings (07:20, HD). There are less 'alternate' then they are 'elongated and painfully awkward'. 'Crazy Casanovas: Mischief from the Set' (12:30, HD) is a typical EPK, featuring brief interviews with the cast and crew mixed with footage from the film, and generically 'wacky' behind the scenes footage and outtakes. 'Extended Pain with the Suitors' (02:40, HD), a series of three brief deleted scenes, finishes out the Blu-ray exclusives. Things are completed with a proper blooper reel (03:10, HD), eight more deleted scenes (07:00, HD), two music videos, and previews for future Disney releases. The weirdest thing about the deleted scenes is that a different actor plays Lance the street magician's videographer. Apparently they couldn't resist the lame Napoleon Dynamite joke.
When in Rome is made with a specific audience in mind, and it placates them as efficiently as possible without breaking a creative sweat. I am not a member of this target audience, and found the placation insulting, but try to make it a habit to not judge comfort food movies too harshly. This said, I still can't find any good reason to recommend the film to anyone other than Kristen Bell's biggest fans, who hopefully won't be expecting anything even close in tone to Veronica Mars. The Blu-ray disc features no surprises, negative or positive, in terms of A/V quality, and the extras are minor, but there are some sizable Blu-ray exclusive items in the mix.

Gabe thinks Kristen Bell would work better in a horror film... [summary on the main page]....
Well you're absolutely right!
This I had no desire to see and neither the patience. I may put a little too much harsh on "Alvin and the Chipmunks 2," but this would look even worse, even though they're not the same movie at all...
But this is how much I will not see this lame excuse of a movie.

From the studio that brought you 'The Proposal'. That sentence is still hilarious (months after I first saw it on the theatrical poster). Only worse line on movie posters has to be 'From A Producer of...' (especially on DTV c**p).
I would watch the Gabe Powers cut of this movie.
Haha, I knew about this movie for a while but somehow never noticed that Mark Steven Johnson directed it. That is really all I need to know to stay away from it.
This thing's just about to get a theatrical release over here in the UK, Gabe - God help us!

Meridian, Mississippi Two longtime Meridian City Council members have already been ousted from their seats during the primary election season and now, another longtime city councilman will be fighting to keep his seat in the general election.
Ward One City Councilman George Thomas has served on the Meridian City Council since 1985. That's one term longer than Ward Three City Councilwoman Barbara Henson, who is running unopposed in the general election. Thomas is facing Democrat Martin Jack. Thomas says he is satisfied with the status of Ward One while Jack says he is not.
"Because of the annexed area," Jack explains. "People of Ward One, citizens, taxpayers of Ward One, deserve more in Ward One. When we annexed that area a long time ago, we had citizens become citizens of Meridian that did not want to become citizens of Meridian."
"We put in a new fire station out in that area, increased police protection," Thomas points out. "Business in Ward One is good. If you drive down North Hills Street, you go out to Hardee's, that area. So those things are good, but there are a lot of other things we need to do."
The Ward Four City Council race has already been in the spotlight. Just last week, incumbent Jesse Palmer, Sr. lost to Democrat Kim Houston in the runoff election. Now, Houston is facing Independent Thomas Hopson in the general election. Houston and Hopson both agree that Ward Four needs some attention.
"Low income housing over in that area and a lot of young people," Hopson says. "You know, they are in and out, and up and down the streets, and needing something to do. So, I would like to see programs implemented."
"It has many needs," Houston says about Ward Four. "There are a lot of ditches that need to be cleaned out cause we've gotten several complaints about that. And another thing that we've come across on this trail is that people are wanting sidewalks."
The Ward Two City Council race is already decided with Kenneth Dustin Markham taking that seat. In Ward Five, Republican Randy Hammon will face Democrat John C. Harris.

Anyone else just exhausted all the time?
I've had a pretty bad day today, I got very little sleep last night and have been dizzy all day and now I've got terrible anxiety.
Do you think breast feeding can create this kind of exhaustion.
I feel pretty helpless and really don't want to continue feeling this way.
I'm so tired that whenever I stand I just want to sit back down again - I try and sleep when she does but she's not sleeping very much during the day - i made my partner come home from work early as I couldn't cope today and we gave her a bottle (BM) so I could sleep .... does it get easier?
I'm worried about my anxiety as it really takes over me.
She's eating every 2 hours but sometimes more - growth spurt time I think
I just want to feel human again or at least not dizzy and have energy to give her instead of feeling like a zombie!

"For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart," (Hebrews 4:12). There are a lot of varied opinions about the Bible floating around our society, and even within the church. However, God's Word speaks for itself.

Health Data Hacking, Population Health Help, and Childhood Obesity — Around Healthcare Scene
Katie Clark is originally from Colorado and currently lives in Utah with her husband and son. She writes primarily for Smart Phone Health Care, but contributes to several Health Care Scene blogs, including EMR Thoughts, EMR and EHR, and EMR and HIPAA. She enjoys learning about Health IT and mHealth, and finding ways to improve her own health along the way.
EMR and HIPAA
Health Data Hacking Likely To Increase
One aspect of EMRs and medical technology many people — physicians and patients alike — are nervous about, are security breeches. Unfortunately, it seems as if this fear is justified, and will continue to be for the time being. Redspin, an IT security firm, gathered data about security and data incidents since 2009, and it has only increased since then. Some of the other findings are rather frightening as well.
Can The Benefits of Hospitals Acquiring Practices Be Achieved By Other Means?
There is a current trend of hospitals acquiring practices. Is there any way for groups of physicians to achieve these results other ways? This post goes into the details of this situation, and different loopholes involved.

Mostashari Asks EHR Vendors to Do What's "Moral and Right"
Farzad Mostashari, ONC National Coordinator, recently made comments at the Health IT Policy Committee. He didn't cut any corners when it came to talking about what he is seeing in the EMR world, and encouraged EHR vendors to do the moral and right thing. This post highlights some of his statements.
ACOs Need Population Health Help From EMRs
EMRs, in large part, don't assist with ACOs and population health help. This is unfortunate, because they definitely need the help. In the future, EMR vendors need to be aware of this, and tweek their EMRs to offer tools to help.

Health IT Positively Affects Childhood Obesity
Childhood obesity is on the rise, and the big question is — how can we prevent it? While many experts may be quick to weigh in on the situation, a recent study published in Pediatrics has suggested that Health IT may prove to have a positive affect on the problem. There are many companies and websites working to create ways for children to get involved and proactive about their health, and this post highlights a few of them.

Milan denies Balotelli argument with police
AC Milan denied reports striker Mario Balotelli was involved in
an argument with police after parking illegally on Thursday.
"Today at Milan airport local police carried out a normal check
on the Audi car being used by Mario Balotelli," the club said in a
"Contrary to what has been reported by some sources, there was
no argument between the parties and at the end of the check Mario
Balotelli went to Milanello as usual for training."
Earlier, Italian media reports said Balotelli, who was on his
way to collect friends, was told to move his car when he stopped in
a no-parking zone in front of Milan's Linate airport.
The Italy striker did so, but then parked again illegally.
Balotelli was fined by the traffic police for not having his
insurance documents on him.
Balotelli allegedly reacted badly, getting into a heated
discussion with them, and passing police had to intervene to calm
the situation.
Hours later, Balotelli was pictured training at Milanello,
talking to Paolo Berlusconi, the younger brother of Milan's owner
and former premier, Silvio Berlusconi.
Paolo Berlusconi caused outrage when he told a crowd of
supporters on Sunday that he was off to San Siro to see "the
family's little black boy," meaning Balotelli.
Balotelli returned to Italy last week in a ?20 million ($27
million) transfer from Manchester City.
He scored both goals in a 2-1 win over Udinese on Sunday.

There are many fine men and women who need not become the 3rd person in another's marriage.
Los Angeles (PRWEB) April 28, 2015
Hellen Chen, who is a bestselling author and marriage guru, helped another couple tie the knot.
According to a study conducted by Washington University, between 1991 and 2006, the number of unfaithful wives under 30 has increased by 20% while the number of unfaithful husbands has increased by a whopping 45%.
From a report released this year from the Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, the percent of marriages where one or both spouses admit to infidelity, either physical or emotional is 41%.
The "mistress" who comes in between a married man and his wife or the male lover who seduces a married woman has been the subject of huge disdain in marriage discussions.
However, no matter the criticism, it does not answer the question of why the trend of infidelity has increased.
Some experts have cited easy access through the internet to meet new people, while other experts related the increase to the rising trend of women joining the workforce.
Bestselling author and relationship guru Hellen Chen, who has written 26 books on love and marriage, has helped salvaged many troubled marriages. Chen shared, "This trend of increased infidelity over the last 15 years, is co-incidental with the decrease of marriages especially among those below their 30's."
In 1950, the median age for women in first marriages used to be 20. Last year's report from the Census Bureau revealed the current median marriage age for women is 27.
In a recent TV interview in Los Angeles, Chen shared what could happen if a man or woman who has aspired to have a lasting relationship does not end up getting married, "There is a chance they end up being the 3rd person in someone else's relationship."
Josefina was a university graduate of a top law school. She has yearned for a loving relationship but disappointments in her dating experiences have led her to believe there is simply no such thing as lasting love.
She then got into affair with a married man and the affair lasted many years. It gradually destroyed her career.
Chen met her and counseled her to get out of the mess and restored her original goal of wanting a sound family. Later Chen played matchmaker and found Josefina a husband. They got married shortly after.
"It was a big trap for me. I had no self-esteem. I felt getting into an affair was the only way to get a man to love me." said Josefina, "Now being happily married, I am relieved that those dark days are over."
"There are many fine men and women who need not become the 3rd person in another's marriage." Chen said, "But the increased dating time instead of making a commitment for marriage has magnified the negative experiences -- until one has to settle for being involved in an extramarital affair."
In her latest book "Hellen Chen's Love Seminar", Chen shares the vital but often missing love lessons for singles and couples: "Marriage is the most reliable home for love, and is also the most beautiful stage for love."
Chen's works in family, marriage and personal developments are featured in over 200 media publications in 18countries. She has been a frequent guest on independent and network radio and TV shows on FOX, CBS, NBC and ABC etc.
To teach individuals how to take control of their relationships and to live their dream of a everlasting marriage, Chen will be holding her famous love seminar event in Los Angeles on May 23.

An opinion article at APCMag: "The focus of Snow Leopard is on core upgrades, not shiny new features. A bedrock focused update that delivers a streamlined, enhanced OS X. Stability. Efficiency. A "new generation of core technologies." All this is about raising the floor on the entire system. Multi-core optimization, support for 16TB RAM (yes, Terabytes), and a language to allow developers to tap the power of the graphics processor are just a few of the key upgrades. But you can't lift the floor and let people walk around where the floor used to be all at the same time. Not without leaving holes for a potential rising damp problem further down the track."

Turns out, the Hockey Hall of Fame does have room for one of the game's great innovators. Finally.
Nearly 32 years after last setting foot behind an NHL bench, Flyers Stanley Cup-winning coach Fred Shero was elected to hockey's hallowed Hall on Tuesday in Toronto. Shero will enter in the "Builders" category posthumously on Nov. 11, 2013 along with players Chris Chelios, Brendan Shanahan, Scott Niedermayer and Geraldine Heaney. Former Flyer Eric Lindros did not make the cut in his fourth year of eligibility.
Shero, who passed away on Nov. 24, 1990 as a result of complications from stomach cancer, was a two-time Cup winner and the 1974 Jack Adams Award winner as coach of the year.
"No one deserves it more than Fred Shero, in my opinion," Flyers chairman Ed Snider said Tuesday. "He was the guy that put it all together. We gave him the parts and he made it work."
Shero is famous for his inspirational quotes left on chalkboards in the locker room, no one more famous than the "Win today and we walk together forever," he wrote prior to Game 6 of the 1974 Stanley Cup final.
It's practically been forever since he's been recognized for his innovation. Many believe Shero was snubbed all these years by the 18-member selection committee because of the bias against the rough-and-tumble Broad Street Bullies style of play.
"I swear I have never told a player to attack another player," Shero said in the HBO documentary Broad Street Bullies. "In fact, I have told my players if they ever hear me saying something like this, they can break a stick over my skull. I ask only that they play aggressively. I had a team that liked fighting, so I let them fight."
Even though the Bullies liked to fight, they could still skate and score. And part of that had to do with their coach.
Shero is often recognized as being the first coach in NHL history to employ a system or tactical approach, the first to hire a full-time assistant coach, the first to use film analysis, the first to employ a pre-game skate to get his players active on the day of a game, the first to use in-season strength training, and the first to travel to Russia to study the Soviet Union style of play.
Shero was inducted into the Flyers' Hall of Fame in 1990 shortly before his death at the age of 65. He is one of only three coaches in NHL history to lead a club to three consecutive 50-plus win seasons, as he did in 1973-74, 1974-75 and 1975-76.
"I think hockey is a game, a child's game, played by men and to play it effectively you must have fun just like children do. I've been with too many teams in sports through the years where you weren't allowed to open your mouth, you weren't allowed to laugh, you weren't allowed to question the coach or anyone in authority ... You lived in fear," Shero said in the 1975 film 'Silver Fantasy.' "My players don't live in fear. They get up in the morning, they're happy and they go to bed, they're happy. And that's the type of person I am."
Shero was also known for his quiet, often philosophical personality. He enjoyed reading, once proclaiming himself "the first New York Ranger to own a New York public library card," and actually considered stepping back from coaching to pursue a career in law once he won a Stanley Cup because he had nothing left to prove in hockey.
"Sometimes, I don't think he knows Wednesday from Thursday," Hockey Hall of Famer Scotty Bowman once said, "And then sometimes I think he's a genuis who's got us all fooled."
"Nobody on our team missed practice in two years, not even the ones injured," Shero said in 1975. "They don't want to miss the laughs. I don't think you can instruct anyone unless you amuse them first."
In a 1999 Daily News poll, Shero was selected as the city's greatest professional coach/manager, knocking off Connie Mack, Dick Vermeil and Greasy Neal.
Shero remains the Flyers' all-time leader in coaching wins with a 308-151-95 record (.642 win percentage). He was 390-225-119 in 734 total NHL games, including parts of three seasons with the Rangers in which he took them to the Stanley Cup final, before resigning in 1980. He never received another NHL coaching job. Shero, a Winnipeg native, also played 145 NHL games for the Rangers from 1947-50.
Shero is survived by his sons, Ray and Jean-Paul. Ray Shero has been the general manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins since 2006. His wife of 32 years, Mariette Shero, passed away in 2010 at the age of 86.
"If you looked inside Freddie's brain," Mariette Shero said in 1996, "I think you would find a miniature hockey rink."

Your progression sounds a lot like ours, particularly with the super short sessions followed by the on/off phase. I waited until 6.5 months to introduce solids and now, even at 10 months am only giving about 4 ounces total all day of solids. I also don't supplement with expressed milk after she feeds, I had a weighed feeding a couple of times and in 3 minutes she can extract 5 ounces so she is crazy efficient and I have a ridiculously fast flow. She will gladly drink her milk after I intimate letdown, she just refuses to stay latched for more than 10 seconds while she waits for that letdown.
We have been simulating letdown with the bottle when I am at work, making her wait 30 seconds before getting the milk but she does the exact same thing as at the breast. Unlatches from the bottle screaming because milk isn't instantly coming out. Then sometimes she will refuse the bottle after that just like the breast.
I know she no longer associates the Breast with comfort. She will cry and cry at the breast and point to her pacifier because she would prefer to be nuzzled against the breast with her pacifier in her mouth over nursing. Even if she is hungry. It breaks my heart and I can't figure out where I went wrong. I just don't understand it. I give her plenty if opportunities to comfort nurse. She only gets the pacifier for sleeping. Our IBLC does think a tie is related and we are having it revised on Monday but I honestly don't expect it to fix our issue since she exudes the same behavior when waiting for the simulated letdown at the bottle.

The Bakken Shale Oil Field - North Dakota
Oil & Gas in North Dakota, Montana, and Canada? Yes, and lot's of it! The Bakken Shale formation is making residents in some of these counties in North Dakota, Montana, Southern Canada, and parts of Manitoba Canada very rich.
are knocking on the doors of landowners and buying their
mineral rights
What is the Bakken Shale oil field?
The Bakken oil shale is a deposit of shale deep below the earth's surface that contains oil. Oil shale is a sedimentary rock that contains solid Kerogen materials that get released as liquids when the shale rock is heated. Oil Shale, like the Bakken Shale play, was formed millions of years ago by deposits of organic debris or silt that formed in lake beds and sea bottoms. Oil can be extracted out of the Bakken Shale formation area but the process is tricky and expensive since the shale is a solid. How it works: Drilling companies drill a vertical well followed by a horizontal well deep below the ground. Operators then shoot a mixture of water, sand, and a small chemical solution at high pressures which causes the bakken formation to fracture. They then pump the oil out of the well and send it off by truck for sale.
Bakken Shale Facts & History
The Bakken Shale is located in the Williston Basin which can be found in northern United States of America. Many geologists have known about the Bakken Shale oil field for a long time. The fact is, until recent years, oil prices remained low and our dependence on oil has been even lower. This made drilling areas like the Bakken Formation unattractive due to the high well costs. During the Spring and Summer of 2008, oil prices are pushed above $140 which caused many companies to
lease land
from landowners to drill for oil in North Dakota. Areas in the Bakken Shale like Williams County and Dunn County, North Dakota have been changing rapidly. With companies hiring workers and drilling as fast as they can, more people are flocking to this area. The unemployement rate in this region is one of the lowest in the nation. You can find a six figure truck driving job very easy! Crime is rising, restaurants can't cook food fast enough, and the demand for houses is probably the highest in the nation. Residents say this is all happening to fast and they hope things will slow down a bit.
How much oil does the Bakken hold?
While estimates are all over the place, I think he Bakken Shale oil field may hold between 10 - 12 billion barrels of recoverable oil. This could all change however, as the whole state of North Dakota could be sitting on oil.. Geologists and drilling
are also focusing on the
Sanish/Three Forks
region. This is a seperate oil reservoir that is showing huge promise. Some of the top oil companies that are drilling for oil in the Bakken say by 2015 total production per day could reach 1 million barrels. As of 2013, the Bakken formation is still young and probably only in the 2nd inning. By 2015, there will be a lot more housing developments for workers to live in rather then these temp housing parks you see all around.
Bakken Natural Gas
There has also been natural gas released from the shale fracturing in the Bakken Formation. Estimates have the Bakken Shale field hold a little less then 2 trillion cubic feet.

State police divers, the Coast Guard and state environmental police officers left this morning to survey the sunken Twin Lights fishing boat, which is in waters two miles north of Race Point.
State police divers, the Coast Guard and state environmental police officers left at 10 a.m. today to survey the sunken Twin Lights fishing boat, which is in waters two miles north of Race Point.
On board the state police vessel was the one piece of equipment - a remotely operated vehicle or ROV - that can reach the scallop boat, which sits on the ocean floor in 198 feet of water.
Capt. Jean Frottier, 69, of Wellfleet, is believed to have gone down with the boat.
The mission today has no guarantees, said Blake Gilmore, head of the state police underwater recovery unit.
"We may not get all the way to the vessel," Gilmore said at Coast Guard Station Provincetown before departure, referring to the ocean depth.
The dozen searchers, in three vessels, will reach the area where the Twin Lights went down by about 11 a.m. and will return by sunset.
Gilmore declined to say anything about what the search may reveal or what the next steps are, citing an ongoing investigation that is being headed up by the Coast Guard.
The Twin Lights, which regularly docked at MacMillan Pier, capsized before noon Nov. 18 as Frottier was attempting to free his dredge from another fisherman's equipment.
Frottier's body had not been recovered as of this morning. Crew member Eric Rego was pulled from the water by the crew of the Glutton, which was lobster fishing nearby.
A sidescan sonar used by state police Nov. 19 located a vessel on the ocean floor believed to be the Twin Lights. The sonar system also gave searchers the global positioning system coordinates of the vessel, Gilmore said.
But the strong currents that were present during the use of the sonar created a "jumbled image" that now needs to be investigated further.
The state police's Teledyne Benthos "MiniRover" ROV is being deployed to take video of the outside of the Twin Lights, Gilmore said. The lime-green ROV is about the size of a two-foot-long stool, and it has a bright yellow tether 400 feet in length.
The ROV allows the state police to reach greater depths than the limit of about 100 feet for scuba divers, but the open ocean presents a challenge because of the unknown fishing gear on the sea floor, the sea floor terrain and conditions like the currents and winds.
"That's why this is a very sensitive operation," Gilmore said.
The Coast Guard and state police are involved in the Twin Lights sinking because each has some jurisdiction over commercial vessels and what is believed to be a marine fatality. The environmental police were on hand to help as needed, said Sgt. Phil Desroches at the Coast Guard pier.
The state police divers conduct about 300 missions a year, and about 10 percent are in open waters, Gilmore said.
The investigation will likely take a year to complete, said Coast Guard Lt. Kelli Dougherty, the investigation officer, at the Provincetown office.

What a delightful afternoon I had prancing around the Historic Dunsmuir Helman Estate at the The 27th Annual Gatsby Summer Afternoon! There was hardly enough time to take everything in. All the guests were dressed to the nines in their best 1920-1940s daywear and they even brought red wagons filled with picnic baskets, lemonade, all the fixing for Mint Juleps, pie, scones, and scotch. And to make sure they were comfortable while dining, many people brought their picnic blankets and chairs. One group even brought a rug, six wicker chairs, a tea set, punch bowl, a well stocked bar, and an enormous umbrella. Needless to say, they were the picnic champs of the afternoon.
Pictures from my phone, Kevin St. Laurent, Walter Nelson, and Kim Yasuda
I had not attended this party before so I prepared for the live music to be mediocre, but instead it was marvelous! The Don Neely's Royal Society Jazz Orchestra was killin' it all afternoon, and so much so that within moments of arriving, Kevin and I hit the dance floor to bal. Yup, that's right, we did Balboa and we were cutting sick (for us)! Hehe, ok, perhaps not the ideal choice of words when describing one's (1) balboa dance at (2) a vintage garden party, but eh….it's my post. DISCLAIMER: Kevin and I do not claim to be balboa dancers. We can do it to some degree, but we are no means as skilled as someone like Mickey and Kelly, nor do we claim to be.
So anyways…had a sweet dance with Kevin and then my hair managed to undo itself. I redid my hair, introduced myself to a number of people, and saw some familiar faces from the past like Michael (of Michael and Persephone), Jane Barnes, Jason Hesse, Chris Lee, and Rusty Frank. I ate, I drank, I chased Kevin around with a camera and took various photos of him, and I danced twice more. The shim sham came on and I think every lindy hopper there hit the floor. Shortly after that, there was a partnered Charleston Contest which Kevin and I won. We are now the 2011, Art Deco Society, Great Gatsby Picnic, Partnered Charleston Champions! What a mouthful. *smile To be perfectly honest, our Balboa dance at the beginning of the afternoon was MUCH more spectacular than what we did on the competition floor, but regardless, we graciously accepted first…..and then I had to redo my hair again.
There was more drinking and mingling….and then the party was done. As the sun sat lower in the sky, people packed up their picnic baskets, folded up their blankets, loaded up their wagons, and the vintage cars rumbled away. The afternoon was reminiscent of a dream. It all happened so quickly and then it was done. As I type about it now, sitting in front of my trusty Mac in my modern pajamas, it doesn't quite feel real. Thank goodness for photos….and a first place ribbon.

I stand at my window on a cool, damp January day, beginning the important first step of gardening: planning. At the moment, the garden beds harbor perennial plants storing up moisture and energy for the next year's growth. The lawn is bright green with a weedy annual grass that will die with the first hint of temperatures over 80 degrees. Weeds are dominating both the lawn and garden beds.
Later this winter, I will undertake a major yard renovation, removing the lawn and some of the shrubs in my very small yard and replacing them with drought-tolerant California native plantings. Paths will lead back to a spot to sit and read under the shade of our sweet gum trees, and beyond to the garden beds of vegetables and fruit trees.
Even with most of the work ahead of me, I'm planning how all this will look now, because late winter is the perfect time to carefully decide what will be growing in our gardens this year.
Even if you aren't facing major yard work, the catalogs arriving in the mail are a signal to think about this year's gardens. Without a plan, we will buy too many seeds, plant at the wrong times, and increase the chance of failure even before Mother Nature get her hands into our garden.
What Goes Into a Garden Plan?
- How much space you have to work with. For all of us this, is a finite number, and the major control on planting. Measure the space and try to map it out on graph paper.
- What you already have planted. Mark off the space for bulbs and bushes, drip irrigation, anything that's not moving/movable in your plan.
- When things happen. A bush that flowers in May (like lilac) needs to be visible then. However, if it then becomes simply a mass of green leaves, note to plant something exciting in front of or next to it, to provide interest during the rest of the summer.
- Your safe planting dates. When can you start planting cold-hardy varieties? When is your first/last frost date? Know your growing zones.
- Now start dreaming...
I see grasses blowing in my bay-influenced breeze, sturdy bushes providing shelter for the birds, and crunchy gravel paths. In the edible garden, blueberries will be added, kale will be repeated. Will there be a place for some cleome somewhere?
Others Planning Their Gardens:
Julee Dunekacke is starting her southern garden already by planting onions, mustard, garlic and radishes.
Lara DeHaven, a Southeast Texas gardener, doesn't follow the local trend of planting mid-February, preferring to hold her planting until March, thus avoiding the chance of a late freeze.
Stephanie Langford talked seeds: knowing days to maturity, characteristics and features, planting both early and late varieties to spread out the harvest, and sometimes planning yield of vegetables.
Joyful Stars has decided to experiment with hay bale gardening this year. I'll admit this is a technique I always wanted to try myself. I'll keep an eye on her progress through the summer.
Seed Savers Exchange talked edible landscaping.
Eat. Drink. Better. wrote important tips for fighting cabin fever by planning the garden.

TEMPE, Ariz., Sept. 6 (UPI) -- The pace of growth among U.S. service industries increased July to August, the Institute for Supply Management said Thursday.
The Purchasing Managers Index for non-manufacturing businesses has shown growth for 32 consecutive months with the PMI rising from 52.6 percent in July to 53.7 percent in August.
The Business Activity Index, a component index, came in at 55.6 in August, showing growth in that index for the 37th consecutive month.
The index for new orders also showed growth for the 37th consecutive month, but the pace of growth slowed in August with the index at 53.7 percent, down from July's reading of 54.3 percent.
Numbers above 50 in the report indicate growth, while numbers below 50 indicate a contraction.
The Employment Index, which tracks the number of employees, rose from 49.3 percent to 53.8 percent, climbing out of contraction and into positive territory.

Charitable Strategies for Hedge Fund Managers Facing Repatriation of Offshore Fees
For hedge fund managers who hold pre-2009 fees in deferred compensation programs offshore, the tax-clock is ticking. When the clock strikes midnight on December 31, 2017, any pre-2009 deferred incentive and management fees held offshore will be subject to tax at the owner's top marginal rate. This deadline, which was created in 2008 under Sec. 457A of the Internal Revenue Code, is fast approaching and many hedge fund managers are turning to their advisors for a fast and efficient solution that will offset some of the tax impact this year.
For many individuals affected by the tax, their best strategy may include a charitable gift. By making a charitable gift before the end of 2017, hedge fund managers will receive a charitable income tax deduction that they can use to offset a significant portion of their tax liability. Additionally, they will be able to make a positive impact by supporting the charitable causes that matter most to them. The type of charitable gift will depend on the client's individual needs and can be crafted to accomplish financial, personal and family goals.
This article will begin by explaining Sec. 457A and its ramifications for the client. The article will proceed by presenting four possible charitable solutions for advisors to present to clients who may be looking for a way to soften this year's tax bite. These solutionsoutright major gifts, donor advised funds, charitable remainder unitrusts and charitable lead annuity trustswill enable the client to claim a charitable income tax deduction on his or her 2017 tax return and will instill a sense of fulfillment due to the positive impact that the charitable gift will have on the lives of others.
In 2008, Sec. 457A was added to the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as part of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (H.R. 1424). Prior to its enactment, hedge fund managers could defer income recognition of management and incentive fees due from offshore funds until that income was actually received. Section 457(A) not only put an end to this practice but required that hedge fund managers with offshore deferred income arrangements repatriate the pre-2009 funds by December 31, 2017.
The deferred fees are subject to ordinary income tax at the taxpayer's highest marginal rates. Depending on the taxpayer's level of income and where he or she lives (and, therefore, if state income tax will be due), the deferred income could be subject to a nearly 50% tax. According to 2008 tax estimates by the Joint Committee on Taxation, the tax revenue could total more than $25 billion. Failure to recognize the fees as income prior to the deadline will result in a 20% penalty tax plus an interest charge in addition to the taxes due.
Example 1While Congress gave hedge fund managers a decade to recognize income from deferred fees earned prior to the enactment, many have not acted and have been holding out hope that changes in tax law could reduce or completely eliminate the provisions of Sec. 457A prior to the December 31, 2017 deadline. However, with the end of 2017 fast approaching, the deadline is looming and the likelihood of substantial tax reform prior to year's end is shrinking with each passing day. As such, hedge fund managers who have not yet repatriated their fees are looking for ways to soften the tax blow before year's end.
Henry Smith is a hedge fund manager at ABC Asset Management LLC (ABC). ABC is a $1.5 billion hedge fund and splits its assets between onshore and offshore funds. Because of Sec. 457, Henry is required to repatriate the $14 million in pre-2009 management and incentive fees that he is currently holding offshore before the end of 2017. Between federal and state taxes, Henry will be facing a tax of 50% and will have to report the entire $14 million on his 2017 income tax return. Unless he finds a way to offset this tax, he will have to hand over approximately $7 million to the government.
One planning technique that advisors are discussing with their clients as the deadline approaches is charitable giving. By making gifts to charities, hedge fund managers can secure immediate tax deductions this year to reduce, or potentially eliminate, the taxes that will be due on their deferred fees. For charitably minded clients, putting those dollars in the hands of their favorite charities, rather then turning them over to Uncle Sam, may be an attractive solution. The charitable gift can be crafted to meet the particular needs of the client and provide the client with the opportunity to pass value to family and to charity. Outright gifts, donor advised funds, charitable remainder unitrusts and charitable lead annuity lead trusts are four potential charitable solutions for clients looking to offset taxes due this year.
1. Outright Major GiftsThe first, and simplest, option for clients looking to ease the tax burden on their deferred offshore fees is to make an outright major gift of cash or appreciated property to charity. By doing so, the client will receive a charitable income tax deduction in the year of the gift equal to 100% of the amount transferred to charity. However, the client should be aware of the charitable deduction limits described in Sec. 170. For charitable gifts of cash, the client will be able take the deduction up to 50% of his or her adjusted gross income (AGI) in the year of the gift. The remaining deduction amount may be carried forward up to an additional five years. If the client uses appreciated property to fund the charitable gift, then the deduction is limited to 30% of the client's AGI in the year of the gift. He or she may carry-over the remaining portion of the deduction for up to five additional years.
Example 2Clients might have one particular cause that is near and dear to their hearts, in which case they can simply make a gift to one specific organization. Clients can also earmark their charitable gifts for specific purposes so long as the restriction does not prevent the recipient organization from freely using the gift for its charitable purposes. For example, perhaps a client wants to make a large charitable gift to his alma mater to help fund construction of a new library at the business school or create a scholarship program in his name. Either option would be perfectly acceptable and would enable the client to make an impact while also offsetting this year's tax bill with a charitable income tax deduction.
Henry meets with his advisor, Mick, about the upcoming December 31 deadline to recognize income from his offshore fees. Mick suggests making a charitable donation to offset the $7 million that he will have to recognize this year from his deferred offshore funds in addition to the $1 million he will have to report from other income sources. After reviewing his current assets, Mick suggests that Henry consider making a charitable gift of his highly appreciated real estate. By making a charitable gift of the land, he will be able to avoid tax on the gain and also offset his tax bill with the charitable income tax deduction. The real estate's fair market value is $4 million. By gifting the property before the end of 2017, Henry will receive a $4 million charitable income tax deduction to help offset the tax on his deferred overseas income. Note that, because the real estate is an appreciated property gift, he can use the charitable deduction up to 30% of his adjusted gross income in 2017. Therefore, he can deduct $2.4 million this year and carry forward the remaining $1.6 million to use for up to five additional years.
2. Donor Advised FundsSome clients might like the idea of being able to distribute funds to multiple charities for particular purposes, but they do not want to create private foundations and would like the flexibility to be able to choose the charities and distribute the funds over time. For these clients, a potential solution is to set up a donor advised fund (DAF). A DAF is an account that is established at a public charity, often a community foundation. When making contributions to the DAF, the client must give complete control of the donated funds to the public charity. As a result, he or she will receive a current income tax deduction for the full amount of the contribution to the DAF. Despite the fact that the client relinquishes control over the donated funds, the unique aspect of a DAF is that the client can remain involved by making non-binding recommendations to the public charity as to investments and DAF distributions. As a result, the client is able to fulfill his or her philanthropic goals in a flexible, tax-favored and cost-effective way.
For clients who are looking for a last minute solution to offset the tax bill on deferred offshore compensation, a donor advised fund may be preferable to a private foundation due to the simplicity of setting it up. In contrast to a DAF, which is simply created through an existing charitable organization, a private foundation is its own legal entity. As such, along with naming officers and directors and creating the appropriate governing documents, the client would need to submit documents to the IRS and receive IRS approval, which can take months to obtain. Additionally, the deduction limits for charitable gifts from private foundations are less preferable (30% for cash and 20% for appreciated assets) and the cost of setting up a private foundation can be significant. Thus, for clients who want more "bang for their buck" from their charitable contribution and who need the deduction this year, a DAF may be preferable.
Contributions to DAFs can be in the form of cash, stock, bonds, real estate or privately held business interests. Assets within the fund can be invested and the fund can potentially grow over time so that more gifts can be made to charities in the future. Advisors with clients who are interested in creating a DAF should make the client aware that the DAF cannot "more than incidentally" benefit disqualified persons, which includes the donor, advisors to the donor, family members and 35% controlled entities. Sec. 4967(a)(1). If an excess benefit transaction is found, both the disqualified person and the organization's directors or officers who approved the transaction will be subject to a tax penalty.
So long as the DAF functions appropriately in accordance with Sec. 4966, this giving vehicle may be an attractive solution for clientsespecially those who wish to create a philanthropic tradition within a family. The client is able to designate successor donor advisors who will be able to direct and recommend gifts to charities in future years. By designating children or grandchildren, the client could open the doors for future generations to fulfill and continue the client's charitable legacy after he or she passes away.
Example 3
Henry knows that the December 31 deadline is looming and he wants to find a way to reduce his 2017 tax bill. Henry likes the idea of setting up a private foundation and wants to encourage his kids to live philanthropic lives. However, he realizes that the time, effort and cost of setting up a private foundation simply does not align with his planning goals this year. His advisor, Mick, suggests creating a donor advised fund with the local community foundation instead. Mick explains that Henry could transfer cash and appreciated property to the DAF and then recommend grants to different organizations without having to go through the lengthy and expensive process of setting up a private foundation. He will receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full value of the assets transferred to the DAF and will be able to avoid capital gains tax on the appreciated property used to fund the DAF. Henry not only likes the tax benefits of this plan, but also sees this as a great way to plant a philanthropic seed in the hearts of his children by naming them successor advisors to the fund.
3. UnitrustsIt is possible that hedge fund managers would like not only to make a charitable gift to offset their taxes this year but also would like to retain an income stream for future years. For these clients, a charitable remainder unitrust is a potential solution.
A charitable remainder unitrust is a tax-exempt irrevocable trust that makes income payments to individual beneficiaries for life, lives or a term of years. After all payments have been made, the remaining trust assets are transferred to one or more designated charities. A unitrust is a popular planned gift because it produces a charitable income tax deduction in the year that the client transfers assets to the trust, allows the client to bypass capital gains tax if the trust is funded with an appreciated asset and also produces an income stream for the client or other selected beneficiaries.
The amount of the deduction will be equal to the present value of the charity's remainder interest in the trust and will depend on the funding amount, the trust's payout percentage and the trust duration. Advisors should be aware that to qualify as a charitable remainder unitrust, the trust's payout percentage must be between 5% and 50% and the present value of the remainder interest must be equal to at least 10% of the trust's funding amount. In addition, the trust must file annual tax returns, submit to annual valuations and be managed by a trustee, which can be an individual, a charity or a corporate trustee, such as a bank or trust company.
Careful considerations should be made when deciding how to structure a unitrust to best fit the client's goals and desires. These considerations include who will receive the unitrust payments (donor or family), which charity or charities will receive the trust remainder, whether to structure it for the lives of the beneficiaries or a term of years, the funding asset (cash, stock, real estate etc.), the payout percentage and the frequency of payments. In addition, the trust payout strategy (i.e., when the trust will begin making distributions) must also be considered as it will cause the trust to be structured in one of three ways: 1) Standard Unitrust; 2) Net Income Plus Make-up Unitrust (NIMCRUT); or 3) Flip Unitrust.
If the trust is structured as Standard Unitrust, it will simply make payments based on the unitrust percentage stated in the trust agreement according to the annual trust valuation. In other words, each year, the trustee will determine the annual payment amount by multiplying the unitrust payout percent by the value of the trust corpus. A NIMCRUT will pay the lesser of the trust's net income or the unitrust percentage, which allows for a certain level of income control and a period of deferred income through selection of growth or income producing assets. If there are excess earnings over the unitrust amount, any shortfall or deficit in the initial years could be paid out. A FLIP Unitrust initially functions as a NIMCRUT in order to avoid making payments from the trust. Then, on January 1 following the occurrence of a specified trigger event (e.g., sale of nonmarketable asset or a set date in the future), the trust switches or "flips" to a Standard Unitrust and begins making payments.
Funding a charitable remainder unitrust before the year is up will enable hedge fund managers to offset taxes that are due on offshore deferred management and incentive fees and also enables them to increase income in future years through the unitrust payments. This plan will allow clients to accomplish family and charitable planning goals through the use of one planned giving vehicle.
Example 4
Henry knows that he needs an income tax deduction this year to offset the taxes that will be due on his deferred offshore fees. However, he has also been looking into ways to support his favorite charity and receive a stream of income later in life. His advisor, Mick, discussed the possibility of funding a NIMCRUT for the lives of Henry and his wife Sally with some highly appreciated tech stock that Henry purchased many years ago. The stock is currently valued at approximately $5 million. By transferring the stock to the NIMCRUT, Henry and Sally will receive a $1,690,500 income tax deduction and will be able to avoid paying tax on the gain when the trust sells the stock. Because Henry and Sally are both in their mid-60s and are not in need of an income stream at this moment, they plan on investing the trust in growth assets until they reach age 80. At that time, the value of the trust will have increased and their 5% trust payments will be approximately $625,000 with estimated lifetime income from the trust of $9,264,000 over their joint lives.
4. Charitable Lead Annuity TrustA more advanced strategy for hedge fund managers looking to reduce the tax impact of Sec. 457A is to set up a super grantor lead annuity trust (CLAT) to benefit charity and transfer wealth to family members. By setting up a super CLAT, sometimes referred to as a "defective grantor lead trust," the client will receive a deduction upfront and be able to transfer the trust's remainder value to family members after the trust makes fixed distributions to charity for a specified period of time.
A super grantor lead trust can be conceptualized as the inverse of a charitable remainder trust because the trust makes annual gifts to charity for a period of time and then, after the trust term is completed, the trust assets are distributed to family members. By structuring the trust as a super lead trust, the client will receive an immediate income tax deduction for the present value of the CLAT's payments to charity. This deduction will reduce the hedge fund manager's potentially large 2017 tax bill and will pass on assets to family members at a reduced gift or estate tax cost.
Note that, unlike tax-exempt charitable remainder trusts, a super lead trust that passes the remainder to family will be taxable to the grantor. As such, the trust investment strategy for a super grantor lead trust should be designed to minimize recognition of income during the term of the trust. The drafter of the trust will also need to include a Sec. 675(4) power that does not cause estate inclusion, but does cause the trust to be classified as a grantor lead trust. The preferred retained power is usually held by a non-adverse party to reacquire trust assets. By including this power in the trust document, the grantor will receive an income tax deduction and the trust will be held outside the donor's estate for tax purposes (so long as the donor does not retain a reversion or control over the distribution of income). Sec. 2036(a).
Charitably inclined hedge fund managers who desire an income tax deduction this year and who also want to distribute wealth to family members in the future may find that a super CLAT could fulfill their long-term goals. If the client is facing the end-of-2017 deadline under Sec. 457A, then the advisor should act quickly, but carefully, to ensure that the trust is established before the clock strikes midnight on December 31.
Example 5
Henry and his advisor Mick have been discussing various charitable strategies to ease the tax burden he will be facing this year. Henry knows that one of his primary long-term goals is to provide financial security for his two children and asks Mick if there is a charitable plan that would generate an income tax deduction and also enable him to transfer a substantial amount of wealth to his children in the future. Mick suggests that Henry consider funding a super CLAT. If Henry were to transfer the $4 million real estate along with $1 million cash to a CLAT that will make a fixed 5% or $250,000 payment to his favorite charities for a 15-year term, he will receive a $3,164,775 deduction and be able to pass the trust's remainder to his children at reduced gift and estate tax costs. Between the tax savings and the trust's estimated remainder value of $6,163,798, Henry will receive the deduction that he is looking for this year and also meet his goal of transferring valuable assets to his children.
Since 2009, the clock has been ticking for hedge fund managers with deferred management and incentive fees held offshore to repatriate those funds and pay applicable taxes at the federal and state level. Section 457A set December 31, 2017 as the deadline for hedge fund managers to recognize as income any offshore pre-2009 deferred fees. Many hedge fund managers have delayed bringing funds onshore in the hope that changes in tax law would relieve them of some or all of Sec. 457A's tax consequences. However, with December 31 fast approaching, many clients are turning to their advisors for a way to soften the tax blow.
Charitable giving is an effective way for these clients to claim an income tax deduction to offset the taxes that will be due on deferred offshore compensation this year. The charitable gift can be crafted to meet the goals of the particular client, whether those goals are financial, familial, philanthropic or a combination of all three. Making an outright gift, setting up a donor advised fund, creating a unitrust and funding a super lead trust are all possible charitable solutions. While these gifts can be closed fairly quickly, advisors should understand that the charitable gift must be complete prior to the end of the year for the deduction to offset 2017 taxes. By making a charitable gift, the clients will not only be satisfied that they have reduced the tax consequences of Sec. 457A, but they feel good knowing they have made a positive impact through their charitable gifts.

An Indian national is headed to prison for no more than 90 days after admitting in federal court Thursday that he groped a teenage girl on a flight to Newark from Seattle.
Vijaykumar Krishnappa, 29, pleaded guilty to assault in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States in exchange for a sentence of 30 to 90 days.
Sentencing was scheduled for Jan. 17.
Krishnappa didn't know the girl, 16, who was seated next to him on the United Airlines flight from Seattle to Newark this past July 23, Acting U.S. Attorney William Fitzpatrick said.
He admitted that while the victim was asleep, he "intentionally touched her near her groin over her leggings without her consent," he said.
Fitzpatrick credited special agents of the FBI and officers from the Port Authority of New York-New Jersey with the investigation leading to the plea deal, secured by Assistant U.S. Attorney Tazneen Shahabuddin of his Criminal Division in Newark.

NEW YORK (AP) — The laid off clothing designer who shot his former colleague to death outside the Empire State Building last week told his landlord he was leaving — and not returning, police said Thursday.
Jeffrey Johnson left his keys and said he wouldn't be back after Friday, the day his former co-worker Steven Ercolino was fatally shot. Police shot and killed Johnson when he pointed a gun at them after killing Ercolino and slipping into the busy rush hour crowd on Fifth Avenue. Nine bystanders were wounded by police gunfire, ricochets and fragments. They suffered non-life-threatening gunshot and graze wounds.
Johnson's landlord wanted him out of his Upper East Side apartment temporarily to do work, and Kelly said Johnson had told him that "things would be taken care of" by Friday.
Investigators searched his apartment and went through his computer, but it was not clear why he chose that day. Johnson had been laid off more than a year ago from the import company Hazan where he worked with Ercolino, who was a vice president for sales. Police said Johnson blamed Ercolino for his job loss because he didn't properly promote Johnson's line of women's T-shirts. The animus grew between them to include harassment complaints to police, authorities said.
Wearing a business suit and carrying an attache bag, Johnson waited for Eroclino outside the office near the Empire State Building and at 9:03 a.m. opened fire, then slipped the gun into his bag and calmly walked up the street, police said. Two construction workers who witnessed the shooting followed him and notified the two officers stationed outside the skyscraper as part of the department's counterterrorism efforts since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Video shows Johnson turning, facing the officers and raising his weapon as they open fire.
Kelly said the department is doing an exhaustive review of the shooting, which is standard practice for any police-involved shooting. He and Mayor Michael Bloomberg have said they believe the officers followed proper protocol.

I'm curious how you make a living so you can pursue your photography. If you are a professional photographer, I curious what it is that generates the most income? eg weddings, advertising, architecture..... Somehow I don't think many are earning enough to live on by selling fine art prints alone. Thanks to the fact that I don't have children and have a job as a teacher, I have some money left over for my hobby.
I'm brand new here, but I'll play. I'm a cop, I see a lot of ugly in the world and what people do to each other so I use photography to capture the beauy in it if I can. Ironically I didn't do a lot in the hobby for some time, but my photography skills ( for what they're worth) landed me a spot on our crime scene team as a photographer. I convinced my department to go digital, which resparked my own interests....... Sunsets are much nicer to shoot than dead bodies (pun kinda intended)
Slightly of topic but that was a wonderful mini-biography Dave.I always had a lot of respect for you but much more now.I will be looking at your image making with new, and hopefully better informed, eyes to see how your life experiences may be informing your creative approach.Tony Jay

Tamera Mowry-Housley is a mom, having welcomed a baby boy Monday evening with husband Adam Housley.
Aden John Tanner Housley "is a beautiful miracle, and our hearts are overflowing with love," the new parents said on the blog that accompanies Tamera's show with her sister, "Tia & Tamera." "Thank you to everyone for your love and support. It means so much to our family."
Little Aden wasn't so little, weighing in at 9 pounds, 5 ounces, and measuring 21½ inches long. Born at 9:45 p.m., he arrived two weeks after his due date.
Tamera's twin and former "Sister, Sister" costar, Tia Mowry-Hardrict, spared no exclamation points in expressing her joy Tuesday.
"Yay!!! I can finally now say! I am an auntie!!!! Can we say chunk munk!!! So happy & blessed! Cree now has a play date!," she tweeted, referring in that last bit to her own son, born in June 2011.

I see quite a few Hugo + Montana decks in DT recently, and it's so annoying! It's also kind of boring, and I only have a chance if I also get Hugo in my hand (playing Hugo + Junkz). So here's the thing, when I play Piranas, I can beat Montana on occasion, but I don't do so well versus Uppers as with my Junkz deck ... what do I do?
FAST IS FUN Guru Wise Men Distracted Thursday 27/05/2010, 17:26
I'd say give your deck a few more tries. With more experience, you'll get better at reading opposing opens (esp. with Edd and Jackie) and your odds of winning improve markedly. It takes me several runs with a deck before I really feel comfortable with it and have seen enough variety in opposing hands to make reliable moves.
-Wicer- Titan Harbingers of Ares Friday 28/05/2010, 02:56
Well Jackie is beast in Dt's and it is very hard to beat Uppers in DTs as well because of their very strong bonus and some great cards. Of course you'll see Hugtana because 18 attack difference is quite good. And montana is a very strong clan.
I'd say that Montana could get you a win in a DT but I never actually won a DT. So as FIF said, keep trying, learn the techniques with your deck or post it here get suggestions. I dunno but everything will help.
