Most people have probably forgotten that September 11, 2001, started out as a day when New York City held primary elections. That memory may resurface for many as they head to the polls on the eve of the anniversary, September 10th, for this year's primary.
This year's primary election is not just a calendar year away from the attacks, but it comes at the end of a year when the political fortunes of many candidates have been deeply affected by the implications of the tragedy. The attacks were the background of political life in New York starting with last year's mayoral race and continuing through this year's race for governor.
On September 11th, the primary was canceled by noon. Like other New Yorkers, the candidates for political office
But the primary was rescheduled, there was then a Democratic mayoral run-off, and within a month, the contest was between Democratic Mark Green and Republican Michael Bloomberg.
Mark Green was the Public Advocate, someone with years of political experience. Mike Bloomberg was a businessman who had never run for political office before. The city's response to the attacks became an issue almost immediately.
Sitting Mayor Rudy Giuliani had become a symbol of strong leadership in a time of crisis: his confidence and compassion had brought assurance and inspiration to a city badly in need of both. Although the new term limits law meant he was unable to run for a third term as mayor, New Yorkers of every political persuasion were grateful to him for his role in the days and weeks following the attacks.
Against this backdrop, Mark Green choose to make a public comment critical of the mayor's recent job performance. His remarks suggested he would have or could have done as good a job if he himself had been mayor. Whether or not this statement was accurate, it was considered highly inappropriate and mean-spirited, and Green was widely criticized for making it.
At about the same time, Giuliani endorsed Bloomberg. Although Bloomberg was running as a Republican, the same party Giuliani belonged to, the two men came from very different backgrounds and were not natural political allies. But the fact that Giuliani made the decision under these unusual circumstances only made the endorsement more compelling. Giuliani's decision to make Bloomberg his public choice had a profound and immediate impact on the race.
Endorsements have long been seen as a way to increase a candidate's stature, or to deliver one small, loyal block of voters, or to decorate a campaign with a well-known name. Never before has an endorsement had the effect of changing the dynamics of a campaign the way this endorsement did.
It would seem almost impossible that a candidate running for high office in New York could fail to learn from another candidate's mistake just five months earlier. But it happened, this time in the governor's race.
Andrew Cuomo, a candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor, was leading in the polls in early 2002. Then he criticized George Pataki's performance in the aftermath of September 11th as inept and ineffective; the governor, Cuomo said, had simply been holding Giuliani's coat.
Whether or not the remark cost him the nomination, he lost his lead in the polls not long afterwards. When he dropped out of the race a week before the primary, conceding to his primary opponent, H. Carl McCall, one newspaper ran the headline: "Cuomo Folds, Plans to Hold McCall's Coat."
New York City's rebuilding efforts will be a statewide, as well as a nationwide. focus for years to come. The question of how to best rebuild and revitalize lower Manhattan was a main theme for each of the major candidates for governor throughout the campaign.
Carl McCall has put an emphasis on economic recovery, with a plan to create 100,000 new jobs in the areas of financial services, biotechnology, information technology and business services. He also proposed an International Center for Commerce and Culture, designed to attract international business headquarters and make New York City the true financial capital of the world.
Although Andrew Cuomo ultimately dropped out of the race, his rebuilding plans were some of the most creative of any of the major candidates. He saw the rebuilt downtown area as a sort of high-tech capitalist utopia: New York City cultural landmarks, a relocated World Bank, an integrated transportation system, a developed waterfront with a harbor economy, and a newly commissioned World Institute of Health, doing valuable research while also creating a biotechnology economy.
Meanwhile Governor George Pataki is said to be the beneficiary of what one Democrat calls the "Ground Zero effect." Pataki has promised the victims' families that nothing would be built in the "footsteps" of the twin towers, the actual ground space once occupied by the buildings themselves.
The legacy of last fall's terror attacks will continue to be felt. The political implications are only just now emerging.

When it comes to beautiful operas, one gorgeous tune after another, it is hard to beat Giuseppe Verdi's La Traviata. It also excels at other operatic traditions such as a three-hanky story of love gone wrong and a soprano dying of consumption. On Friday, The Dallas Opera rolled out a spectacular production of the opera that ably achieves all of the composer's goals. It is beautifully sung, well-acted and looks magnificent.
Any production of Traviata lives and dies at the hands of the soprano. It is an impossible role to cast in that Verdi actually asks for three different voice types in each act. Act one requires a coloratura, both scenes in act two need a lyric, and the last act needs a spinto. I am not on the side of commentators that look to the past for unsurpassed Violettas, like Maria Callas, to use as a yardstick. Even she was not flawless in every performance. At the Winspear Opera House, Myrtò Papatanasiu (another Greek soprano) comes as close to filling the bill as you are likely to find anywhere.
Papatanasiu is marvelous in two of the three acts. Vocally, she is at her weakest in the first act. For some reason, she lets her high "C" spread, when the notes right below it stay perfectly in line, and her attempt at the high E flat at the end of the first act aria (Sempre Libera) is ill-advised. But, from then on, she is in her vocal realm and turns in a memorable performance. She is able to float a spinning pianissimo in one phrase (such as in Addio del passato) and then summon a full-throated spinto sound in the big dramatic moments (such as in Grand Dio! Morir si giovani)—all within moments of each other in act three.
As an actor, she is believable throughout, without overplaying the dignified victim or the diseased-ravaged and near-death shell of a person she becomes at the end. Throughout the changing circumstances of Violetta's life, Papatanasiu maintains an overlay of noble dignity to the physical beauty that made her the most famous courtesan in Paris. It is easy to see why both the naive Alfredo and the sophisticated Baron Douphol are dazzled.
As Violetta's clueless lover, Alfredo, who doesn't understand why his living with a courtesan would bother his conservative father, James Valenti skillfully portrays a young man who has just recently tipped over from what must have been a prolonged adolescence into manhood. He has a bright and well-produced tenor voice that he never once pushed beyond its capabilities, and a respect for the composer's carefully written dynamics. This production includes the rarely heard cabaletta to his second act aria. It is apparent why it is usually cut. Musically, it is not up to the standards of the rest of the opera and it stops the action for an "aria," à la Rossini, which doesn't happen anywhere else in the score.
Laurent Naouri, as Alfredo's conflicted father Germont, possesses a rich baritone voice that effortlessly negotiates Verdi's remarkable demands. It is impossible to determine whether he is portraying the elder Germont as stiff, or whether he is just stiff on stage, by this one appearance. But whatever the case may be, his is an exceptional baritone voice; dark without being swallowed and resonant without being pulled into artificial territory.
There are no secondary roles in Traviata. Without excellent singing actors in all of the supporting roles, even the greatest Violetta that ever graced the stage couldn't pull this opera off unaided. Amanda Crider makes a sympatric, if a little ditsy, Flora (Violetta's best friend and fellow courtesan). Tim Mix is a sympathetic, yet severe Baron. Ethan Herschenfeld is a dignified Doctor, giving Violetta some kind words when he knows that she is dying. Susan Nicely is touching as Violetta's loyal maid. Aaron Blake impresses as Gaston.
The Italian conductor, Marco Guidarini, holds everything together and demonstrates both a knowledge of the score and generally has control over the stage and orchestra. Many tempi were too fast on Friday; most noticeable was the card-playing scene at Flora's party, but he gave his singers leeway to interpret the music, which is the most important quality of an opera conductor. Some details, such as the scattershot pizzicati in the last act prelude, may have been the result of a lack of rehearsal, but the conductor must take the ultimate responsibility.
Production designer Allan Charles Klein creates a hyper-realistic storybook set, and Victorian period costumes on a grand scale. Violetta's gowns are stunning. The back of the stage is surrounded by a semicircle of floor-to-ceiling panels that serve as doors, windows, archways or walls as the situation demands. Act two is dominated by an immense garden trellis covered in ancient wisteria. Flora's party scene, all blazing reds, got as much applause when the curtain went up as any of the arias. Part of that also has to do with the fantastical costumes. Klein took the suggestion that the party is a masquerade and runs with it, especially with the women. Following a vaguely Asian theme, there is everything from a glorious geisha to a Turandot lookalike.
The last act set has a bed, but it doesn't dominate the room, as is so often the case. While the bed is lit by a spotlight, the rest of the furnishings are gloomy and covered with shrouds. It looks as if Violetta's surroundings have already died years before her. The back of the stage opens during the usually offstage bacchanal chorus and the revelers can be seen, but the weird lighting makes you realize that they are only a figment of Violetta's feverish delusions.
Director Bliss Hebert also takes a hyper-realistic storybook approach. All of the movement is natural, but when the characters have no reason to move, he creates a tableaux vivant that looks like an old photograph. It is almost as if we are remembering Traviata rather than watching real events unfolding. Yet he creates vivid characters within the confines of directorial restraint that convey a stifling social world in which mores and behaviors are strictly dictated by tradition. In this context, even the initial flush of love when Violetta and Alfredo first meet is tinged with an uneasy sense of foreboding. Thomas Hase follows suit with lighting that creates a feeling of gloom, even when the stage is brightly lit.
This is an evocative, moody production of one of the most beautiful operas ever written, performed with a consistent degree of musical excellence that few other opera houses could match.

Dear Mr Isaacs, I am a big opera and dance fan. I just have a suggestion, if you are going to name everybody in the artistic team, the question is why critics often forget to mention the choreographer and dancers? I think it is important, adds so much to the productions, and the artists deserve it. Thanks.
Sunday, April 15 at 4:11PM
You are exactly right and I am sorry for the omission. Rosa Mercedes did a terrific job with the dance section at Flora's party. She was also terrific as the principal dancer.
Monday, April 16 at 1:53PM
And she played her castanets brilliantly!
Tuesday, April 24 at 3:43PM
The costumes are beautiful and stage settings are fantastic. Everything wonderful!!!
Tuesday, May 8 at 12:03PM
It was brilliant! I went to the last performance. They pulled out all the stops. The sets looked just like Paris. The costumes were gorgeous. The leads looked stunning, acted believably, and sang beautifully. This was opera as it was meant to be. It surpassed the NYC Opera production that I saw in 1987.

US food safety systems are 'broken', says report
They said food recalls are on the rise and called the US food safety system 'broken'.
In the US over the last 21 months, 1753 people were made sick from foodborne illnesses linked directly to food recalls and the cost was over $227m, said PIRG.
The report, "Total Food Recall: Unsafe Foods Putting American Lives at Risk," analyzed nationwide recall information issued by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) from January 2011 to September 2012.
'Twice as many outbreaks'
"2012 has already seen nearly twice as many illnesses due to recalls as 2011, with high-profile recalls of cantaloupes and hundreds of thousands of jars of peanut butter," said Nasima Hossain, Public Health Advocate for US PIRG.
"More needs to be done to identify the contaminants that are making us sick and to protect Americans from the risk of unsafe food."
PIRG said during January 2011 to September 2012 there were:
- 1,753 foodborne Illnesses directly linked to recalls of food products from known pathogens such as listeria and salmonella;
- 37 deaths directly linked to recalls of food products;
- $227m in economic and health related costs linked to recalls of food products.
Hossain added: "We must move away from the current reactive approach, where recalls happen after dangerous products have already made it into families' kitchens, and focus on prevention."
Recall concerns
A separate report said despite the frequent food safety outbreaks and recalls, concerns about the safety of the US food supply remained relatively consistent with only temporary spikes when there is news of an outbreak.
The NPD Group said that for the period from January through August 2012, on average, 60% of US consumers were somewhat or slightly concerned about the safety of the food supply, 25% were extremely or very concerned, and 15% not concerned at all.
This led them to conclude that the food safety concern levels in 2012 are on par with previous years.
The group cited an example of a spike and then a levelling off, with the listeria outbreak in July and August and product recalls involving listeria contamination.
Awareness of and concern about listeria peaked during the time the outbreaks were widely reported and then leveled off when the news subsided.
"The impact of a food recall on consumer attitudes and perceptions often depends on the amount of news coverage received, or the severity of the situation in terms of numbers sickened or dead as a result," said Darren Seifer, NPD food and beverage industry analyst.

Inner work is any practice that helps make the unconscious conscious; for example, dreamwork, art, journaling, psychotherapy, meditation, prayer, yoga, body work, active imagination, ritual, and so on. But the ego's fear of seeing beneath the surface makes most of us naturally resistant to this kind of work. The ninth dream I ever recorded addressed this issue:
It is night and very dark. I try to lock an elephant in a cave, but when I push on the door to close it, it breaks. I run for help because I am afraid the elephant will get out and do some damage.
This dream is short, sweet, and very much to the point. What could be more frightening to a tiny ego than a massive elephant on a rampage? Who wouldn't try to lock it in or run away?
In religious practices and literature, the elephant often symbolizes power, wisdom, and happiness. As a mount for Asian royalty, it represents sovereignty. And as an instinctual creature with advanced sensitivity, it symbolizes inner knowing and intuition. Since animals in dreams usually represent our instincts, (Jung said we have five: activity, nourishment, reflection, sex, and creativity), to me the elephant suggested my instinct for reflection because reflecting on our inner lives can activate these positive qualities.
What about the other two symbols in this dream? A cave is associated with birth (the Eastern church depicts Christ's birth in a cave), the maternal womb, and sacred initiation rites. Like the unconscious, caves are dark places containing hidden potential and spiritual treasures.
A door represents a psychic force which, when closed, keeps us from knowing what lies behind it. But when it is broken or open, we can travel between the outer, conscious world of logic, reason, and objective fact, and the mysterious inner world of the unconscious.
While this dream helped me recognize my resistance to reflecting (elephant) on my personal unconscious (cave) because my ego was afraid of opening (door) to the unknown, it held much more meaning for me than I was capable of understanding then. At the time I thought the unknowns I feared were changing in ways that might be problematic for my family and discovering some hidden unworthy qualities, but after twenty-five years of inner work, I have rooted out a deeper, archetypal source of my fear.
All three symbols in this dream are related to spirituality. Western and Middle Eastern religions traditionally associate spirit with the distant masculine Sky God with whom they connect via mental abstractions: correct words, clear ideas, strong beliefs, and noble ideals. This approach has long devalued the spiritual significance of the soul which is associated with femininity: physical matter, the body, emotion, instinct, feeling, inner knowing, intuition and the birth/death/rebirth cycle of life.
Of what was I so afraid? To what has my religion had such stern resistance for the last 5,000 years? Simply this: The feminine aspect of the Mystery we call God. The Mystery incarnate in matter. The sovereignty, spiritual authority, power and wisdom of our own infinitely beautiful and loveable bodies and souls. The energies of Sophia, Goddess of Wisdom: the sacred spark that indwells us and all creation. Poor little ego. So terrified of life!
"The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek."~Joseph Campbell

I wanted to LOVE this recipe but did not. I only wanted to give this a 3 but my company seemed to enjoy it last night so i gave it a 4. i thought Clamato juice was clam juice. Oooops on my part so i added juice from 1 and a 1/2 lemons to mask that boo boo. I did use Smirnoff bloody mary mix (spicy). The recipe needs either lemon or lime anyway. Crab meat expensive so would prefer to make a recipe with crab where it does not get masked by all the ingredients in this recipe
Jun 23, 2014
I made a quarter of this it worked out just fine. Delish and refreshing esp during dog days of summer. I used frozen crab I have on hand for canned, but next time I plan on using the crab sticks in lieu of frozen or canned crab for economy. I also used fresh shrimp quickly boiled until barely pink. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent for parties, I received many, many compliments and requests for the recipe. I used spicy bloody mary mix in lieu of the V8 and Clamato.

If this "layoff" didn't happen I wouldn't be here writing to you right now! Inspired by Artsy blogs such as The Artful Parent, Paint Cut Paste, and Frugal Family Fun, I began my journey on this day one year ago. I followed these blogs just like you might be following me with your children doing activities each week from these blogs. These blogs were such inspiration and I felt like these were the type of Moms I strived to be! I struggled as a working Mom to feel like I was a good Mom and felt like if I did what they did with their kids that somehow I would be a better Mom. Being a working Mom was very difficult for me and I so wanted to be the Mom that you see reflected in The Chocolate Muffin Tree! So here I am, now realizing it is a lot of work being a Mom Blogger (Thank you to all that inspire!) and that is also a very fulfilling too! I inspire more people all around the world....more than in all the years I have taught Art! For those of you who have followed me all they way through.....Thank you! and for those who are recent followers Thank you too! I hope to continue this journey! Thanks for your support!
Find a child near you that is in need of Art supplies and donate to them! (ask local art teachers and I'm sure they could give you some names) Recently I met an 11 year old girl, through a neighbor, that was definitely an aspiring artist in need and I gave her a simple gift of colored pencils and a sketch pad. You could see her eyes light up instantly with this gift! I hope to give her more art supplies in the future.
A great article about ways you can donate supplies to classrooms through Adopt a Classroom and Donor's Choice: Donate Supplies to A Classroom in Need
A way to donate art supplies for kids around the world from: Oxfam America Unwrapped
Research online and you will find many local organizations to help kids through the Arts!

text: As the first anniversary of Blacktip Reef quickly approaches, I wanted to give you an update on one of the fish we highlighted when the exhibit opened – an orbicular batfish that had surgery during quarantine! In January of 2013, the batfish was in quarantine at our off-site Animal Care Center, where staff noted a mass in the body cavity. The fish was sedated, and using ultrasound guidance a needle was inserted into the lump and an aspirate (drawn fluid) was obtained. Based on this sample, it looked like a sterile abscess or cyst and not a cancerous process or active infection. A month later, the fish was anesthetized again for an exploratory surgery. The mass was attached to the swim bladder, and we were able to remove most of it. The fish recovered very well and the sutures were taken out two weeks after the procedure. All fourteen of our batfish were introduced into the Blacktip Reef in July of 2013, and we're happy to report that they are all thriving. The surgery site healed so well there isn't even a scar. We can no longer be sure which fish even had surgery! We love success stories like this. Stay tuned for more updates on how Blacktip Reef is doing a year later!

volkswagen ameo Expert Review
Volkswagen has been in India since 2008. German engineering and advanced features are the best highlights in Volkswagen cars. Volkswagen gave us the Passat, Jetta, Touareg, Polo, Vento, Polo Cross. Volkswagen advocated safety by introducing innovative technologies and new designs. In 2016, Volkswagen desired to not only enter the compact sedan segment, but also do something for India. After a series of "German engineering with an Indian heart" ad campaign on social media, television and print media, Volkswagen launched the Ameo, a car made exclusively for the Indian market on 5th June. This car plugs the gap between the Volkswagen Polo and Volkswagen Vento. The Volkswagen Ameo comes in 3 variants of Trendline, Comfortline and Highline and 5 colour options of Blue Silk, Reflex Silver, Toffee Brown, Candy White and Carbon Steel. MYNEWCAR.IN recommends the top of the line Highline in Blue Silk colour. The Ameo is Volkswagen's effort to manufacture the car locally in India with highly localised parts in its Chakan factory in Pune, which made the car affordable.
A car made in India, by Indians, for Indians, here are the features of the Volkswagen Ameo-

Many of the banks originally situated on Bank Street in Sharjah have left for more lucrative locations, so we have imagined a new, non-monetary banking model for the street.
What if we were to regard the sum total of memories and stories of the people in this area as the real capital of the street?
And what if this new currency could be invested in the new Bank Street and converted into physical objects?
The result might be a credit default swap in the form of a rusty metal dinosaur from a Portuguese suburb. Or a cashpoint that dispenses a ceramic pot of drinking water from a neighborhood in Islamabad. "The Bank" is an urban currency converter of such personal memories and stories, bringing great profit to Bank Street.
For establishing of "The Bank" people from the are around Bank Street has been asked to nominate specific city objects such as benches, bins, trees, playgrounds and signage from other countries that represents incredible stories and or vague memories. These objects were chosen from a country of the inhabitant's national origin or from somewhere else encountered through traveling. The objects were either produced in a 1:1 copy or bought and transported to the site.
Commissioned by Sharjah Art Foundation, the concept for The Bank is developed by SUPERFLEX and designed in collaboration with Schul landscape architects.
The Bank is commissioned by Sharjah Art Foundation for SB11 and with great help of the biennial team. A big thanks goes to Sharmeen Syed.
The object installed through out the park:
Red Parasol and Chairs, Pakistan
Palm Hut, India
Climbing Dinosaur, Portugal
Carrousel, Yemen
Slide, India
Rocking Chair, India
Swing, Pakistan
Bench Game, Philippines
Badminton Court, India
String of Lights, Egypt

Excerpts from Sharjah Art Foundation:
Towards a New Cultural Cartography
In Re:emerge, Towards a New Cultural Cartography, curator Yuko Hasegawa proposes a Biennial that reassess the Westerncentrism of knowledge in modern times and reconsiders the relationship between the Arab world, Asia, the Far East, through North Africa and Latin America.
Hasegawa was inspired by the courtyard in Islamic architecture, in particular the historical courtyards of Sharjah, where elements of both public and private life intertwine, and where the objective political world and the introspective subjective space intersect and cross over.
The courtyard is also seen as a plane of experience and experimentation—an arena for learning and critical thinking of a discursive and embodied kind. It marks a generative space for the production of new awareness and knowledge. Within the network of intensifying international and globalising links, the courtyard as an experiential and experimental space comes to mirror something of Sharjah as a vital zone of creativity, transmission, and transformation.
For Sharjah Biennial 11, Hasegawa has selected more than 100 artists, architects, filmmakers, musicians and performers whose artworks and practices resonate with strands of the curatorial theme: the complexity and diversity of cultures and societies; spatial and political relations; notions of new forms of contact, dialogue, and exchange; and production through art and architectural practices of new ways of knowing, thinking, and feeling. With more than 35 new commissions, SB11 will unfold in sites across the city and will mark the inauguration of SAF's five new art spaces.

Andrew Stephenson, a professor of biology at Penn State University, has been selected to receive the title of Distinguished Professor of Biology. Stephenson is recognized for his groundbreaking discoveries in the evolutionary biology of plants. His contributions to the understanding of Darwin's theories of sexual selection and the evolution of mating systems are recognized internationally and his work also affects broad areas of plant biology, including plant physiology and breeding. He has demonstrated that, regardless of the haphazard nature of pollen deposition, plants can exercise a great deal of control over which of the deposited pollen grains actually fertilize the ovules, which of the immature seeds mature, and which abort during development.
Stephenson, who is a researcher in Penn State's Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics, the Center for Chemical Ecology, and the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences, also is the assistant head for research in the Department of Biology. He has received numerous awards and honors throughout his career. In 2003, he was named Most Highly Cited Researcher in the fields of ecology and environmental science in Current Contents -- a service database from the Institute for Scientific Information. His other honors include a Faculty Scholar Medal for Outstanding Achievement in 2002, a Faculty Associates Award for Outstanding Involvement in Undergraduate Research in 1997, an Edward D. Bellis Award for Outstanding Contributions to Graduate Education in 1996, a George W. Atherton Award for Excellence in Teaching in 1992, and an International Agricultural Centre (IAC) Fellowship from the IAC in the Netherlands in 1987.
Stephenson has published numerous scientific papers in journals such as PLoS ONE, Ecology, the American Journal of Botany, Evolution, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. He was elected as the Visiting Waynflete Fellow at the University of Oxford in England in 1994, and he was the Distinguished Lecturer at the Linnaeus Institute for Systematic Botany at the University of Uppsala in Sweden in 1990.
Stephenson earned his doctorate and master of science degrees from the University of Michigan in 1978 and 1976, respectively. He earned a bachelor of arts degree from the Miami University in Ohio in 1973.

Baby, You're a Rich Man
You don't have to be Warren Buffett to be considered wealthy. It all depends on who is setting the bar. Here's why it matters for your taxes, investment options and college aid—and what you can do about it.
Who's rich, anyway?
Congress and President Barack Obama are struggling with that question as they wrangle over how to avoid the "fiscal cliff." If they can't reach a decision, tax rates will increase sharply for most Americans—both rich and not—and draconian spending cuts of $110 billion will kick in.
It isn't as easy as you might think to determine who is rich. There are many different yardsticks devised by Uncle Sam, banks, brokerage firms and other institutions. The thresholds—as low as $44,000 for people receiving Social Security benefits—matter because they determine the taxes you owe, the college aid you receive, the investments you have access to and the fees you pay.
Overall, the top 1% of U.S. households have a net worth above $6.8 million or at least $521,000 in income, according to data from the Federal Reserve and the Tax Policy Center in Washington. The cutoffs for the top 5% are $1.9 million in net worth, or $209,000 in income.
Needless to say, these national figures obscure large geographic differences. A prince of income in Danville, Va., is a relative pauper in New York City.
In Danville, the threshold for the top 1% of earners kicked in at $179,000, while it took $588,000 to reach the top 1% in New York City and northern New Jersey, according to an analysis by The Wall Street Journal of U.S. Census Bureau data from 2007 to 2009 collected by the University of Minnesota Population Center.
The income threshold for the top 1% falls midway between Danville and New York in places like Raleigh-Durham, N.C.; Atlanta; Rochester, N.Y.; Miami; San Luis Obispo, Calif.; and Peoria, Ill.
Then there are emotional measures of wealth. H.L. Mencken once quipped that wealth in America means making a little more money than your brother-in-law.
Samuel Johnson was just as shrewd, if less cynical. He wrote: "Every man is rich or poor according to the proportion between his desires and his enjoyments." So if your wishes align with your purse, the amount of money in it doesn't much matter.
It is up to the politicians to determine who is rich under 2013 income, capital-gains and estate-tax rules. Here are some important thresholds that won't change next year—from lowest to highest—plus tips for making them work in your favor.
$44,000 for Couples
($32,000 for Singles)
This is the threshold at which 85% of Social Security benefits begin to be taxed. It isn't indexed for inflation. (At a lower level, 50% of benefits are taxed.)
For most taxpayers, this threshold is computed by adding tax-free municipal-bond income plus half of Social Security benefits to adjusted gross income, or AGI. That's right: Muni income won't help avoid this tax.
What will help is tax-free income from a Roth individual retirement account, which doesn't count in the calculation. In addition, owners of regular IRAs who are 70½ years or older and charitably minded can usually give up to $100,000 of donations directly from their account to charities and have it count as part of their required annual payout.
There is no tax deduction for those contributions, but neither is there income that swells AGI. This wildly popular provision lapsed at the beginning of 2012, but many believe Congress will restore it retroactively.
$170,000 for Couples
($85,000 for Singles)
This is the level at which Medicare Part B outpatient-services and Part D drug-coverage premiums start to rise based on income for married joint filers.
The Part B premium rises from $105 to $147 a month per person for couples earning above $170,000. It rises as high as $336 for couples with incomes higher than $428,000. The Part D surcharge for couples earning above $170,000 ranges from $12 to more than $65 a month. For more information on income thresholds, go to socialsecurity.gov.
For many Medicare recipients, the definition of income is similar to the one for determining tax on Social Security benefits: adjusted gross income plus tax-free municipal-bond income. Most 2012 premiums will be determined using information from 2010 tax returns.
How can you lower your income? As with Social Security benefits, tax-free Roth IRA payouts don't count as income, and people 70½ and older can help keep AGI down by making charitable donations directly from their IRA, assuming Congress renews this law.
$180,000 for a
Family of Four
This is the informal income threshold for need-based financial aid for undergraduates at many private colleges, says Mark Kantrowitz, the expert behind the financial-aid and scholarship resource websites FinAid.org and Fastweb.com.
Besides income, the aid formula typically adds in 20% of the student's assets per year and up to 5.64% of the family's net assets (including 529 college-savings plans), but it excludes the value of retirement accounts.
A rude shock for many families is that the formula includes the value of parental retirement-plan contributions starting in January of the student's junior year of high school, so it is a good idea to maximize those contributions until then.
There are many variables, according to Mr. Kantrowitz. Often the most important are unusual financial circumstances—such as volatile income or high medical expenses in one year—and the number of children in college at the same time. With two children at private colleges, for example, the income threshold could be as high as $250,000 or more.
But a school that denies need-based aid to a student also might give a "merit" scholarship to bolster geographic diversity, fill an undersubscribed department or activity, or maximize revenue.
"These days almost everybody struggles to pay for college, regardless of income level," Mr. Kantrowitz says. "I have seen doctors living from paycheck to paycheck because of these costs."
$250,000 for Couples
($200,000 for Singles)
This is the threshold for the new 3.8% net investment income tax that kicks in on Jan. 1 to help finance the massive health-care changes. It applies to rents, royalties, net capital gains, interest and dividends, among other income. It doesn't apply to tax-free municipal-bond income.
The tax is levied only on the amount of investment income above the threshold. So if a couple has $175,000 of wage income plus $50,000 of dividends and net capital gains, they aren't subject to the tax. If they have $150,000 of wages and $200,000 of net investment income from a windfall, then $100,000 is subject to it.
For most taxpayers, the threshold is adjusted gross income. This means taxpayers will want to reduce AGI as well as time the receipt of investment income when possible.
Charitable donations, mortgage interest and other itemized deductions don't help with that, but pension and 401(k) contributions can. Tax-free muni-bond income and Roth IRA income won't swell AGI, either.
This is the upper limit for a "conforming" mortgage for a single-family home in the contiguous 48 states and Puerto Rico. This limit is higher—$625,500—in Alaska, Guam, Hawaii, the U.S. Virgin Islands and certain high-cost markets, such as the New York metropolitan area, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Conforming loans are mortgages that can be packaged and sold to government-sponsored buyers such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Home buyers who opt for private mortgages or "jumbo" loans on more expensive properties pay about 0.5 percentage point above the current average of 3.5% for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, says Keith Gumbinger of HSH.com, a mortgage-information website.
The best way to stay below the limit, he says, is simply to buy a cheaper house or put more money down up front. With Congress considering scaling back the mortgage-interest deduction, there are tax reasons to be prudent about home mortgages as well.
$1 Million/$200,000
Net worth of $1 million, excluding the value of the primary residence, or $200,000 in income for the past two years are the main requirements for "accredited investor" status, as set by the Securities and Exchange Commission. This designation allows investors to put money into lightly regulated hedge funds or private offerings.
Those sums might not be sufficient, however. Some private offerings and hedge funds require investors to prove $5 million of net worth, and the median minimum for some investments is $1 million, according to eVestment, a research firm that tracks institutional money managers' performance.
There can be ways around those minimums for accredited investors hungry to get into certain funds. Barclays Wealth and Investment Management, for example, allows people with $5 million of investible assets to commit as little as $100,000 to $250,000 to funds normally requiring a $1 million minimum, says David Romhilt, head of manager research at the Barclays unit.
$10 Million
A common threshold defining "ultrahigh-net worth." With variations, it is used by institutions such as Barclays, Merrill Lynch's Private Banking & Investments Group and Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. Even retail giant Vanguard Group has a special category for "relationships with $10 million and more."
What does this get you? Lower advisory fees, in many cases, and access to certain restricted investments. Also special treatment of large concentrated stock positions, such as hedges and collars, or attention to the execution of large trades.
Ask about nonfinancial services as well. Does the hand-holding extend to finding a caterer for your daughter's wedding, or—in a pinch—walking your dog?

Columbus Crew Head Coach Robert Warzycha
On the match today:
"Two-zero down on the road is tough to come back. Obviously the red card helps but I think tactically in the second half we were trying to do the right things but I think we were on the ball too much."
On whether the early goal set the team back:
"We lost the ball four times in the first minute. We couldn't connect two passes together. We paid for that. Was there a reason? I'm not sure what the reason was, but after that I thought we played very well. "
On the team's six game unbeaten streak coming to an end:
"I think Chicago is a good team. Sooner or later you're going to lose. Happy with the road performance so far. Apart for those first few minutes, I thought we had a good game."
Columbus Crew Midfielder Tony Tchani
On the match:
"It was hard. After being a man up, and scoring, then it's two to one, we felt like we can come back and win it. But after coming up short, it hurts."
What was said at halftime:
"We just said we wanted to put high pressure on them. Obviously they were trying to drop, and just sit there and absorb all those crosses."
On whether the team started to play better after the second goal:
"We felt we were, yes. After coming on strong in the second half, we felt like we could get one, or possibly go in for a second one. But we came short. Coach talked to us about putting pressure on them. Sometimes we pushed too much because in the second half they had a few good chances and our goalkeeper came up big."
On his goal:
"I think our right back had the ball and he chipped it to the right wing. I made eye contact with him, and tried to convey to have him pass a hard ball on the ground to me. I went for the ball and tried to open my back, and the Fire midfielder, Pardo, was following me and he thought I was going for the ball. So I faked and just opened my body and touched it in with my left foot. Sean [Johnson] came out, I saw him leave his spot and give just enough space on the near post and I slipped it in."
Columbus Crew Midfielder Chris Birchall
On his first start:
"It was nice. I've been here a good four or five weeks now. I had to go back last week for my wedding. But I've had a reserve game under my belt, and the gaffer knew that. I really wanted to play and he put me in. I was kind of pleased; I got my first assist. I felt my fitness is getting there, it just needs a couple more games I suppose, but I am disappointed with the result."
On the team's slow start to the match:
"The worst thing is, when we came to the stadium, we were watching the Philadelphia game and they went down one-nil after one minute, and we were thinking let's hope we don't do that tonight and then we went out and did the same thing. It was tough. We gave the ball away in the midfielder early on and all I remember is [Pappa] having a shot from outside the box and it just went flying into the top corner, and you're thinking, let's just not concede another one. And then we did, being two-nil down. Then we started playing after that. They went down to ten men and we got a goal. Coming in at halftime, we thought we could get back into the game, but we just didn't cause them enough problems. We had possession but we didn't cause too much of a threat in the box with shots on target. Disappointed with that but we just have to bounce back next week."
On the team's preparation for Salt Lake:
"We just have go out and be confident. We're playing well at home. We were on a six game unbeaten streak, but it's come to an end. We just have to play the ball the way we've been playing and cut out the silly mistakes, especially in the first ten minutes. If you do that against Salt Lake, you'll get punished as well. They are a great team. But we just have to go out and try to be confident and be wary of them. I don't know how they did today, but they were coming off a loss against the Galaxy, but we'll be going into it trying to win three points at home."
Frank Klopas - Chicago Fire Head Coach
Comments on the match:
"It was a great win overall for the organization. I'm proud of the guys and the way that they competed, not giving up. We started off well, then things turned for the worse. It's never easy playing shorthanded, and obviously, we gave up that goal. We wanted to go in at halftime with a clean sheet. I thought our will not to give up and pull away a win was fantastic. I'm proud of the guys. For me, that's the difference - successful teams have the will to win games. All the work we do every day showed today. We enjoy the win tonight, we have to regroup, and now we have a tough stretch of games on the road."
On Gonzalo Segares' red card:
"I have to see it again. I don't know if Gonzalo's cleats were up or not. They are pretty hard on those calls. On the other hand, I think there was a handball in the box in the first half, and for me clearly Oduro gets taken down, which I think is a PK. Over the long run, everything evens out. The call was disappointing because we had control, we had chances, and then things turned around with us playing shorthanded. We could have been better with the ball. We were dropping too deep. I'm proud of the guys and their will."
On having an aggressive mentality:
"The most important thing is the mentality, that all of the guys are focused in one direction. We brought the guys together in preseason and set our goals. We have good guys and also good characters. Everyone wants to be a part of this organization. Everyone is honored to put that jersey on. That means a lot and it shows on the field. Creating that mentality is the hardest thing to do. When you bring good players and good characters and everyone is focused on working toward our goals, that is the kind of group we want."
On the chemistry of the team:
"Playing at home we came out and pressured the game. It's great to be home with our fans. The one thing we talked about in the break is having consistency, having good starts, and finding ways to win games like this. Not dropping points, even with ten guys. I think it's a credit to the group. We just have to keep working. It's just one game. We haven't achieved anything yet. We need to keep an even keel; we can't let it go to our heads."
On Arne Friedrich's appearance and the overall defensive play of the team:
"Yesterday we wanted to have another week of training before he was ready to go. Today he told me if there was an opportunity to get him in, to get him in. His experience obviously paid off in the end. Coming into the game today, he told me he felt great. Plus, his ability in the air helped because the changes they made showed that they would be playing direct at that point. Our ability to compete in the air is not one of our strengths with the size of our team.
And I thought Sean was fantastic today with his presence in the box, coming out and reading the game, and his maturity level."
On how much confidence this match builds going forward:
"It's amazing. At the beginning, you felt that maybe it would be a game that we could relax. But you're playing a very good team and little things change the game. You know which guys you can count on in the good and bad moments. I think games like this tell a lot about the players you have and their character. The support from the fans also helps too."
On Grazzini's shirt, which said "Thanks Chicago," and possibly being his last game:
"He loves Chicago, you know. He loves the fans. I told you guys what I stated the other day - it's the club's option. Why would he say goodbye? I think he was saying, "Thank you Chicago, I love the fans here." You have to be crazy not to want to be part of this organization and the city and the fans that we have. His performance was very good today. He made some very good plays. Obviously, you have to make sacrifices in a game like that. We didn't go defensively, though. We brought Chris Rolfe in, another fresh guy, and I thought that helped a lot.
It's a nice shirt. I want to borrow it next time, because every goal I can lift it up and say thank you to the fans."
Sean Johnson, Chicago Fire goalkeeper
On the result:
"I think we did a really good job tonight, especially going down to 10 men. It says wonders for the character of our team, how we were able to battle through with 10 men and keep the lead. Hats off to the guys in front of me to grind it out, I know it's not easy to run back and forth for the full 90 minutes. All-in-all, it was a complete performance, we wanted to put two wins together and we were able to do that tonight."
On the importance of getting three points against Columbus:
"Separation at this point in the season is massive, especially when playing a team in your conference. Games really matter now, it's do or die time and I think we are stepping up and getting the results that we need to go forward. "
Patrick Nyarko, Chicago Fire midfielder
On the result:
"We started really fast. We wanted to control the game. Even when we were up by two goals we were trying to put it away. Unfortunately we got that red card and tonight the team was committed to not relinquish that lead. They scored their goal right after we got the red card, we thought we gave up that goal too early and too easily. We couldn't wait until halftime to make some defensive adjustments. Fortunately the guys were able to hang in there and concentrate for the final 45 minutes and capture the win."
On scoring first:
"It's important, especially at home, to score first. We need to step up and pressure the opposing team, plus we're at home and people should fear us playing here. I think we did that last game too; we made it a point of emphasis to come out and pressure the team and get them out of their element. Fortunately we scored really fast which unsettled them and we got control of the game. We took a two goal lead then got the red card, but we've been there before so we knew what it was going to take to win."
Arne Friedrich, Chicago Fire defender
On his first appearance since injuring his hamstring in May:
"I told Frank [Klopas] if he needed me for 20 or 30 minutes, I'd be there, but for a longer time I'm pretty tired and still need some training sessions. The muscle is good, which is the most important thing to me. Today it was important to get in the game because we were under pressure playing with 10 men. I'm very happy that we won the game because we were playing a conference opponent and we could get some space in the standings."
On playing a man down:
"The team did very well. We were playing under a lot of pressure following the red card, but the reaction of the team was great and it was a very important game to win. "
