Amazing Ideas for your Kitchen Exhaust Fan
The kitchen exhaust fan has become a true necessity in our home, this mainly due to the fact that a lot of kitchens do not have proper ventilation or are simply too small to provide the ventilation your kitchen needs. The old-fashion exhaust fan did not look so great, but luckily many kitchen manufacturers are now bringing out some true unique and beautiful pieces. So let us take a look at your options and the things to take into consideration when buying a new exhaust fan.
The build of a kitchen exhaust fan
A good kitchen exhaust fan will consist of three things: a capture panel that will contain all the rising cooking gases, a grease filter and a tangential blower for forced ventilation.
There are also different types of kitchen exhaust fans. The most common type of range hood is the ducted kitchen exhaust fan, but ductless or recirculating range hoods are also an option.
Both ducted and ductless kitchen exhaust fans have their advantages and disadvantages. The ducted kitchen exhaust fan will remove the rising cooking gasses by transporting them outside the home, while the ductless range hood has activated charcoal, which takes care of odor and smoke particles.
The majority of current day range hoods will have built-in lighting, which can be incandescent, fluorescent or halogen. There are some manufacturers who will also deliver a kitchen backsplash, but this is no guarantee.
Material choice is also quite diverse. The most common materials for kitchen exhaust fans are stainless steel, bronze, copper, nickel silver, tempered glass, zinc, wood, aluminum, brass and heat-resistant plastic.
Interesting Features
Technology has come a long way, especially for kitchen exhaust fans. Nowadays, there are countless of extra features that can help you during food preparation, but also keep your kitchen clean and pristine. Let us a take a look at some of these features and decide if they are worth the investment.
Some of the more advanced kitchen exhaust fans will have warming lamps. Even though you pay a considerable amount more for this type of kitchen exhaust fan, it is definitely worth the money you pay for it. The warming lamps in the range hood will keep your food warm, which is especially handy when you are waiting for your other food to cook.
Another great feature that is available in most new models is the automatic turn on. These kitchen exhaust fans have a heat sensor that will detect excess heat and then automatically turn on your range hood.
There are also hidden kitchen exhaust fans that can be incorporated seamlessly into your cooking range. However, these types of range hoods can be extremely expensive and need a 600 or 1200 CFM motor installation to function correctly.
Shapes, Sizes and Colors
Range hoods also come in various shapes, sizes and colors and are highly dependent on your kitchen supplier. Home Depot usually has a versatile range, so by visiting their website you can see most of your available options.
The time when a range hood came in the traditional cone form is long over. Nowadays you can even get minimalistic, small rectangular range hoods that have the same power as one of the traditional models. However, some types of range hoods work better with a certain kitchen style. The rectangular minimalistic range hood works best in modern and contemporary kitchen, while the traditional range hood is still best for traditional and country kitchens.
Prices may vary according to the size, material and the features of the range hood. Nowadays you can already obtain a range hood starting from $80, but do not expect any outstanding features.
If you want an all singing all dancing kitchen exhaust fan, you are looking at a price of at least a thousand dollars. Having said that, it is worth the investment considering how much more convenient it will be and how much more efficient your kitchen will run.
Best Kitchen Exhaust Fans
Certain brands have a lot more to offer, so we went looking for kitchen exhaust fans with the best prices, features and durability. Let us take a closer look at various range hood brands and pick the best ones.
One of the range hoods that immediately made it in our list of best kitchen exhaust fans is the Kobe IS2436GSF Range Hood. The range hood is a combination of stainless steel and glass. The Kobe IS2436GSF is also available in multiple widths, varying from 36 inches to 42 inches. Extra width is often recommended for range hoods, because it can capture steam, grease and odors more efficiently.
There are some additional advantages to the Kobe IS2436GSF. Firstly, the range hood works at a reduced noise level and only uses 250 CFM. People are able to use this function when the range hood is working on a low speed. However, variable speeds are possible, so the higher the speed the louder the noise. Still, the noise level on the highest level is 6.0, which is not too bad for a range hood with a considerable amount of power.
The Kobe IS2436GSF also comes with an LCD-screen and various settings. When you use the LCD-screen, it is possible to pick a different color, since the screen can use three different colors for display.
Even though most range hoods are either ducted or ductless, this particular range hood is both. Additional chimney extensions are also available for people with a higher kitchen ceiling.
Another great range hood is the Wolf VI42B Island Range Hood. This particular kitchen extractor fan cannot only be used above your cooking range, but also above your kitchen island. This is especially handy for people who have incorporated a cooking plate on their kitchen island.
The features of this range hood make it a popular choice for many kitchens. Unfortunately, due to the use of black glass in the design, it is only really suited for modern or contemporary kitchens.
However, the Wolf VI42B Island Range Hood has an amazing build and is definitely worth investing in if you have a modern or contemporary kitchen. This particular model comes with stock aluminum mesh filters, which keep the ceiling ductwork clean, this is made possible by the prevention of grease and dirt deposits. The filters can also be removed and placed in the dishwasher to clean.
The Wolf VI42B Island Range Hood also has 4 LED lamps to light to cooking surface or food preparation area. There is also a control panel which provides you access to all hood functions, for example speed. The manufacturers of this hood also installed a filter warning light on the control panel. That way people can immediately tell if the filter needs maintenance or not. The average price of this model is currently $2700 to $3000 depending on the supplier.
Another great name in the kitchen extractor fan industry is Zephyr, so one of their models could not be missing from our shortlist. The Zephyr BE-E36 Wall Range Hood is the best kitchen extractor fan from their range, at least in our humble opinion. This hood is also considerably cheaper than the two models we mentioned above, because a new Zephyr range hood will only cost you something between $600 and $700.
The Zephyr BE-E36 has an internal motor with three different speeds. The sound level on the highest speed is 6.0, the same as the first kitchen extractor fan we discussed, although this model is considerably cheaper. The Zephyr also has two aluminum mesh filters that can easily be removed and cleaned.
In addition to great speeds and noise levels, this model also has halogen lights so that the worktop stay nice and bright. The lighting can also be controlled via the control panel of this range hood.
The Zephyr BE-E36 can also be bought with various widths, ranging from 30 inches to 36 inches. The greater the width, the more the extractor fan will cost. We do not really believe a width upgrade is needed in this case, 30 inches is usually sufficient to tackle the cooking fumes from the average household.
The last range hood we would like to recommend is the Cavaliere SV218Z2. This is a simplistic range hood that works extremely well in modern and contemporary kitchens. The range hood has an internal motor of 900 CFM and is available in various widths.
When shopping for the Cavaliere SV218Z2, you can obtain a range hood with a width of 36 inches, 42 inches and 48 inches. The prices vary accordingly. Same as with the last model, we do not believe that an upgrade is necessary and most people will usually stick with the 36 inch model.
The price of the Cavaliere SV218Z2 varies between $750 and $1300 depending on the width and the manufacturer.
Where to Buy
There are a huge amount of companies selling range hoods. All have their own specific brands and product lines, so it may be worth looking around in different stores before you make a decision. We already did some searching for you though, so check out which stores are worth checking!
If you are on a bit of a budget, but still want a decent kitchen extractor fan, then we recommend visiting Home Depot. The store has an incredible range of low-budget kitchen extractor fans, starting from $40. You will also find some of the more expensive models as well, because prices can go up to several thousands of pounds. The style diversity and color range is also definitely worth a visit.
People who only want the best of the best, and definitely some of those extra features we discussed earlier, should head over to KitchenAid. When you are looking for extra features for your kitchen extractor fan, this is the place to be. KitchenAid sells range hoods with the much desired warming lamps and the automatic turn on function. The only real downside to these range hoods is the price, because extra features will make the price go up considerably.
KitchenAid also offers range hoods in various shapes, sizes and colors. Their most remarkable range is meant for modern and contemporary kitchens, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. In short, if you want quality, durability and extra features, KitchenAid will be your choice.
Would you rather tinker with your old range hood, but do you need some replacement fans or filters, then we can recommend Broan. This kitchen supplier has everything from high capacity fans to duct free fans, project packs, radiation dampers and even replacement & upgrade kits. Their prices are also quite reasonable for the products they are offering.
Are you in need of commercial kitchen ventilation and do you need a kitchen extractor fan that is bigger than the average range hood? Head over to Greenheck! The company does not limit itself to commercial range hoods though, because they offer a large amount of other commercial appliances as well. This ranges from pollution control units and utility distribution systems to filter systems and fire suppression ranges.
Whether you need a commercial or residential kitchen extractor fan, there are many option on the market. The only thing we do realize is that technology has advanced for the kitchen extractor fan, but unfortunately the prices have not. Range hoods with extra features are still incredibly expensive, so most people are not able to afford them. Since a kitchen extractor fan is a one-time expense, we do not see this changing soon.

(CBS News) Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan defended his running mate's positions following Monday's third and final presidential debate and took aim at the president for comparing Mitt Romney's military budget strategy to the game "Battleship."
"You mentioned the Navy, for example, and that we have fewer ships than we did in 1916," Mr. Obama said in response to Romney's critique of the administration's military spending. "Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets, because the nature of our military's changed.
Appearing on "CBS This Morning," Ryan suggested the president was being petty: "To compare modern American battleships and Navy with bayonets - I just don't understand that comparison.
"Look. We have to have a strong Navy to keep peace and prosperity and sea lanes open," he continued. "The president's, all these defense cuts, if all these defense cuts go through, our Navy will be smaller than it was before World War I. That's not acceptable. And, yes, the ... the ocean hasn't shrunk. You still have to have enough ships to have a footprint that you need to keep sea lanes open, to keep our strength abroad where it needs to be."
"CBS This Morning" host Norah O'Donnell asked Ryan about the ways in which Gov. Romney "seemed to be bending over backwards to agree with the president," saying he concurred with Mr. Obama on specific policies. "Why did he fail to draw some of the distinctions tonight?" she asked.
In final debate, fierce battle over foreign policy
Fact-checking the final presidential debate
"Well, there are some things where we do agree," Ryan said. "We agree with the decision to go after Osama bin Laden. We agree with the continuation of the Bush drone policy. Those things we agree with. Where we disagree is in the president's poor handling of the Iranian situation. Iran is four years closer to a nuclear weapon. The administration has fought us on sanctions in Congress on a bipartisan basis for years until we finally got bipartisan support to overwhelm the president's position, now we have the sanctions in place.
"What we also disagree with was on the defense policy. This trillion-dollar cut in defense will devastate our defense. It will make us weak. It will project weakness abroad. And I think Mitt Romney did a great job of contrasting that."
The defense cuts Ryan refers to are part of the sequestration that Congress passed that will automatically trigger cuts in defense and non-defense spending if the House and Senate do not agree on a plan to cut the deficit . Ryan was among those who voted for the bill.
One issue that was absent from the debate was a discussion of the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, which has become a topic of attack by both Romney and House Republicans as questions about security measures and the administration's initial characterization of the assault persist.
When asked by O'Donnell whether he thought Romney should have pushed on the issue, Ryan replied, "We didn't wanna go into all the litigation of it.
"What Mitt Romney wanted to do is lay out his vision for the country, how they have a strong economy which makes it for a strong national defense and a strong America."}

O'Donnell then asked about the Republican candidates' position on Syria. "We have heard Gov. Romney in the past say that you would work to ensure that 'the opposition obtains the arms they need to defeat Assad's tanks, helicopters and fighter jets.' Does that mean you'd be willing to supply the opposition with heavy weaponry?"
"Well, so what we've always said is that we wanna work with our allies in the region - the Turks, the Qataris, the Saudis - in identifying the good allies in Syria, who are Syrians fighting against the Bashar Assad regime. So here's the problem: the president outsourced to the U.N. for too long."
Pressed again on the question of providing heavy weaponry needed to defeat Assad's tanks, helicopters and fighter jets, Ryan said, "Yeah, what they, they, as well, through, through open source, we already know that they have what we call man pads. We already know that the Free Syrian Army that, that people in Syria already have the kinds of weapons to do just that. Here's the problem with delaying so long. Here's the problem with going over a year and a half and not having leadership: Bad actors are joining this fight. Al Qaeda's coming into Syria."
Touching on Iran, Ryan said he could also see one-on-one negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
"Look, we've always said that we're willing to talk, but we're not gonna take off sanctions. We're not gonna lessen anything. We're not going to give any kind of talk, whether they're multi-lateral or whether they're bilateral, as an excuse to delay sanctions. We gotta keep pushing sanctions. We gotta have harder sanctions. We have to do all the list of the things that Gov. Romney said. And if they want to talk, that's fine. But we're not gonna, we're not gonna seize or put any kinda temporary hold on any kinds of sanctions as a condition of talking. No pre-conditions. But if they wanna talk, that is perfectly fine."

Honey, I guess I'm kinda disappointed Satan made you visit bull dykes and dildoes again, but only six times this month, so praise the Lord! I really do like so feel privileged that you gifted me with these five-hundred page bulletins every week. See, with God and the software, you can be strong!
Yours in Jesus,
(P.S., hon, for an additional fee, could they make the fonts bigger? I'm getting eye strain. )
'When I was young, the first time I read the temptation story in Matthew's Gospel, one clear impression stood out in my mind: this is a showdown; it is like an epic battle of good vs. evil. As I read, it was like watching a gripping movie…'
'I remember when I was buried deep in porn addiction: it seemed each day was a fight to avoid the inevitable. At the time I didn't understand why my body would seem to take control. There were so many nights I would walk zombie-like to Internet porn or phone sex in search of my fix.'
". . . I didn't recognize I had an addiction until I had surgery and masturbation wasn't an option for fifteen days. On day three, I was literally shaking, and I began to connect the dots. Other symptoms: irritability, inability to focus ('staring at walls syndrome'), mood swings, headaches (sometimes quite strong), sense of pressure in my genitals, flashbacks, paranoia, self-defeating thinking, depression, hopelessness, and fear that I will never have sex because I've learned no social skills since diving into porn eight years ago as a teen."As may easily be concluded from this, indulgence in pornography may lead to outbursts of extreme Drama Queenery, even among the straight. (By the way, Covenant Eyes, staring at walls is not a syndrome, even if you stare at more than one wall.)
The image of sexual desire as a gluttonous beast that will attack unless kept shackled, blinkered and starved is a common one among Christers. The site http://boysunderattack.com/reaching.html ('Reaching for Teenage Boys' - the site owner sounds quite an innocent) aims to reassure adolescent lads on all manner of problems they might encounter when growing up. Bodily changes are dealt with matter-of-factly, but the author sends out such mixed messages on the topic of masturbation that any kid reading this stuff is likely to be seriously confused or, better and more likely, to simply junk the site.
'It is a balancing act for every male: Every teenage boy has fantasies and lusts and will explore the connection between these, their sexual nature and masturbation…The more frequently you masturbate, the more fantasy you require to get an orgasm each time. [Sez who? You're making this stuff up!] This option becomes a vicious circle - the more you feed your lust, the more it demands to be fed! Ideally, you should aim to delay masturbation until the hormonal pressure builds inside you, then, very little, or ideally, no fantasy at all is required to produce ejaculation!'
Being an Evangelical Christian must be rather like spending a lifetime holding your breath. Here is one Tim Challies, author of Sexual Detox, a title that immediately gives you some idea of Tim's view of sex.

The little kid, not one of my students, tries to corroborate the bullies' story, but he is too shaken up to effectively nod. He does the body language equivalent of stammering for part of a second, and quietly tears well up in his eyes. A few drops had already escaped before I got there. He looks at me through these spheres of tears and cheap, ridiculous (yet trendy, very popular), fake blue contact lenses.
I dislike them because they don't look remotely real. The dots and shapes of different blue in them are not eye-like at all, and they never seem to fit the kids wearing them right; the pupil window is often too big or the iris ring too small and some of their natural color shows through as circles of teak or coffee brown. I also don't like the fake blue contacts because wearing them seems to say: "I wish I had blue eyes." What's wrong with your perfectly good brown eyes? Are you wishing you were Western? Sometimes in class, kids will just drop out of lesson-related conversation and stare at my eyes and my blonde, ginger, see-through eyelashes. "Teacher, you look so different," they say. Not in a mean way, just curious. One kid called my eyebrows "golden" and I have to admit, I did think that was pretty cool.
Tears turn into flooded rivers as he breaks eye contact with me. The two older, bigger, kids that had been roughing him up try to explain: "No, Teacher: joke, play."
No Kids, No joke. Not play. But I have to act here as if it could've been. These kids will cross paths again and I don't want the little one picked on worse because of anything I do. And even though I'm angry, I have developed a quick and easy rule with no shades of gray or 'unless ifs' written into it: a grown man should never strike a kid. Ever.
I'll back up a bit. I'm walking away from the school I worked at into the ghetto that I lived in during my time in Taiwan. "Ghetto? Really, Jeremiah, are you by any chance exaggerating as you sometimes do?" Thanks for asking, reader. I don't think I am. It was not the poorest or most dangerous ghetto in the world, and honestly, a few buildings that made up the outside ring were actually quite nice. But this was a neighborhood set off from the rest of the city; people were hemmed in by the school campus on one side and a highway on another side. Factories with gates made a third wall, and lastly a row of connected buildings with one entrance guarded by private security made another impassible barrier for a number of blocks. Beyond that side there was a rice paddy, a fetid canal, (It was truly filthy. I'd see dead street dogs rotting in there and sometimes industrial waste would turn the water Ty-D-Bol blue, the color of a Blue-Hawaiian cocktail.), and a concrete factory. On the inside of this cut-off area were high rises for poor people and laborers, mostly non-Taiwanese. (Perhaps tall buildings would be a better choice of words. Between 12 and 16 stories.) I suspect that many of the buildings were mostly empty because when the sun went down, a lit up apartment window was a rare thing to see. That could've been due to people being frugal with electricity usage though.
The centerpiece in this neighborhood was a Christian outreach mission/church. Let me interject here and state that I do believe we should help our fellow man, and I believe that it's a good thing that organizations exist that help out those who require help: public, private, faith-based, and non.
I love cities though, and I have observed in more than a few of them that when you take everybody from an area who requires help and put services in one space, it changes that neighborhood. I believe healthy neighborhoods have a mix of all different sorts of folks, income levels, housing types, and public spaces. When one public space or a few contiguous blocks become THE place where people who need help congregate all the time, people who are not social workers or on the receiving end said help tend to leave. Things get dirty, littered, and sometimes alcoholics, the mentally ill, and the homeless act out. I don't want to sound too judgmental here; to be fair, what kind of behavior do you expect from a person in crisis? Perfect manners and impeccable grooming? No. Many of these people don't have enough access to bathroom facilities and some of them—reasons vary and abound—need help with what health-care people call "activities of daily living."
The Christian mission used the basement all the time, but it seems like the aboveground levels stayed empty except for church services on Sundays. At this point we're on the first floor, street level.
The people running this mission don't have the resources to police the city block and small plaza in front of their place. I DO think they need to close and lock spaces they aren't using though, and here's why:
I'm walking away from the school I where I was working, towards the building I was staying in, and in the open disused space at street level in the Christian mission building, I see two boys (maybe between 12 and 14 years of age) holding down a younger, smaller, boy on a collapsible ping-pong table. They're slapping him and laughing as he tries to get away. They have his shoulders pinned, so his pelvis is bouncing off the table, his back arching up; he's trying use all of his not-pinned body to get away. I wonder if any locals on the street are seeing this. One of the kids grabs the small boy and holds his head and neck onto the table. The other goes for the kid's front pants pockets. Or pants. (Are they robbing him or molesting him?) This is what is happening as I walk across the street and into the open foyer. I walk instead of run because I don't want them to know I'm going to intervene until I'm close enough to do so. The bullies are so enjoying what they're doing (or they're so accustomed to nobody getting involved) that they don't notice me until I've grabbed one of them by the collar and the other one I've backed into a corner with my elbow close to his chin and my forearm close to his neck.
"What are you boys doing?" I ask. It is the lowest, calmest, voice I have ever heard come out of me.
None of the three has any English and I speak no Chinese whatsoever. And yet, I know exactly what they're saying.
"Oh, Teacher [Even complete strangers called me Teacher. In any small town people are bound to talk about the new guy that doesn't look like everybody else.] this isn't what it looks like, no no no… Us and "Joey" here were just playin' around. Isn't that right Joey?" [He pats "Joey's" back.] I stare at the talking one, not letting go of him, waiting for more. "We're friends, isn't that right Joey?" And the other bully knows the English word for friend. "Yah! We friend Teacher! [sic] No bad!" Wow. For the first time since arriving in Taiwan, people are speaking Chinese to me and there is no question in my mind about what's happening.
I was bullied a bit when I was a kid, so it's kind of a miracle that I didn't lose my cool and slap those Chinese lies and that one English word right out of their little junior-thug mouths.
"Joey" is scared and he can't tell me what's really happened not only because he speaks no English, but also because he would face a world of shit later if he told me the bullies' names and that, no, they were not in fact, friends.
When I look at him, I can see that he is embarrassed. It is embarrassing to be picked on. I know.
I had a couple of older friends that I looked up to in different times and different places. When it would come to a question of intervening, when it came to a 'what do I do' situation, they would always get involved without hesitation. E. F. was from very near my home area in New Hampshire and R. M. was from a South Pacific island. Both of these men were muscle-y, in good shape, with relatively think limbs. Both of them were fighters. Both of them had their 'justice switch' permanently in the 'on' position. Mouth off to a lady? Pick on somebody smaller than you? No question about it, you were gonna get a beating. Both of them had at different periods of time, fairly or not, been incarcerated. For fighting.
I used to wish I was like E. or R., able to say: "that ain't right" and then step into the situation full of confidence and correct it. Through force.
There were times when I was young and small and I saw (or was the object of) some pretty bad things. I did not intervene, and those memories shame me to this day. No joke. I don't think I'll be writing about those anytime soon.
When I heard screaming coming from an adult male echo up to my 14th floor apartment on my first night in that part of Taiwan, I did not intervene and I hated myself for it. I did get to intervene with the kid mentioned above though, and I'm glad I didn't lose my temper. I hope that karma balances those two things out a little.
It is not always easy to know when to intervene. If you are a teacher dealing with kids, the answer is clear: "you cannot just keep walking." When it comes to adult situations though, it is not always so cut and dry. My two 'big brothers,' my fist-fighting bruiser friends (and other friends just like them who are dear to me as well), wound up going to jail because they would always step in. And one of them had all his teeth broken out.
I don't feel guilty at all about having the cops step in instead of myself with our former down-stairs neighbors back in Portland, Maine even though waiting for the police could've had disastrous effects. It is not my job to be justice incarnate. But it is my job to act justly, and for 'not- really-a-bruiser-even-though-I-kinda-wish-I-was' me, acting justly usually involves practicing restraint.

"Members of the European Parliament are happy to preach austerity, but do not expect them to cut back on luxurious foreign trips," she says. "The European Parliament's central office is notorious for being opaque when it comes to divulging costs for fear of bringing their Institution into disrepute," notes Andreasen. "Whatever possessed them to become so forthcoming when asked what were the most expensive delegation trips for 2010, we will never know. Delegations, for those of you that do not know, are groups of MEPs that travel to various points around the globe under the auspices of building better relations with parliamentarians and other political organisations."
"In reality," reports Andreasen, "and barring a small number of MEPs genuinely committed to a region or country's wellbeing, they are treated as a jolly by all and sundry. Some MEPs switch delegations in order to see as much of the world as possible. Fancy an all-expenses trip to the Seychelles? Join the African-Caribbean-Pacific Delegation. Rio or Buenos Aires more up your street? That would be Eurolat then. I am told that there is, of course, some work involved — but usually no more than a day or two. The rest is made up of trips around the country, visiting points of 'political' interest."
Let the Good Time Jollies Roll
Marta Andreasen's article provides a couple of accounting tables listing the delegation destination, number of days spent, number of MEPs, total cost, cost per MEP and cost per MEP and day. She reports:
The real cost of these jollies have finally been revealed. The figures came to light in a written response from the European Parliament central secretariat to members of the Budgetary Control Committee, of which I am a member. All the other political parties and groups were privy to the same information as I was, but I am the only MEP to date to raise the costs in public. Why? Because the UKIP is the only party in the EP that refuses to go on delegation trips as point of principle. I nearly choked on my coffee when I saw that one trip of the EP's African-Caribbean-Pacific delegation to Kinshasa over eight days cost taxpayers more than €1m for 50 MEPs, or a massive €20,000 [$26,300] per MEP.
The same delegation took a trip to Tenerife, which cost €11,000 [$14,469] per MEP over seven days for 64 MEPs. To illustrate the extravagance of these trips, an eight-night stay in a junior suite in the Ritz Hotel London is a snip at an eye-watering €5,400. Even as the financial crisis was starting to bite hard in 2010 — MEPs were rewarding themselves with self-serving and largely pointless delegation visits to Mexico, the Seychelles and the Democratic Republic of Congo. And even within the European Union, the costs of trips were astronomical. One can only imagine the opulence that greeted MEPs in Rome, where a seven-night trip broke down to each MEP spending €1,600 per day. Once again, it seems MEPs are happy to preach austerity to anyone but themselves. These figures are an appalling abuse of taxpayers' money. They should hang their heads in shame.
Shame, however, seems to be a foreign concept to the exalted political class in Brussels that run the EU, a constantly morphing and expanding entity referred to euphemistically by EU insiders as "The Project." Fraud, waste, corruption, and accounting "irregularities" are so endemic to EU institutions that the EU's own Court of Auditors has refused for the past 17 years to give the EU's books a clean bill of health. Repeated exposure of the problem and the resulting public outcry has brought repeated promises of reform — but little of substantive reforming action. Marta Andreason's book, Brussels Laid Bare, is a double-barreled, no-holds-barred exposé of the fraud and corruption she uncovered in the European Commission's books and the political buzz saw she ran into when she refused to turn a blind eye to the unethical and criminal conduct so rampant in the Brussels machine. (The full text of her book is available online here.)
Ms. Andreasen is not the first, or last, whistleblower to call out the corruption in Brussels. Perhaps the most famous of the EU whistelblowers is Bernard Connolly, who was one of the EU's senior economists tasked with establishing the single currency, the euro. He was sacked in 1995 for exposing the political corruption involved at the center of the push for the euro currency. His book, The Rotten Heart of Europe: The Dirty War for Europe's Money, sent the eurocrats into apoplexy, with the EU's prosecutor infamously charging that Connolly's criticism of the EU was akin to blasphemy against the Deity.
In 1999 EU veteran auditor Paul van Buitenen caused a political earthquake with his revelations of financial misdeeds. The European Commission's 20 commissioners, including its President, Jacques Santer, resigned. More promises of reform. Van Buitenen's reward? He was demoted and his pay cut; some of the worst offenders he'd exposed were promoted and given bigger salaries and benefits. Finally, in 2002, after witnessing the EU's disgraceful treatment of Marta Andreasen and determining that his efforts at reform had proven futile, he resigned.
"Kremlin-style information"
In its 2010 "Fight Against Fraud" report, the European Commission admitted to losing €1.2 billion to fraud, an increase of 109 percent over the previous year. Marta Andreasen asked rhetorically: "Why does the EU allow this situation to continue?" Her answer:? "Simple: the EU uses funding from the budget to buy support for the EU project." Stephen Booth of Open Europe, an anti-EU think tank, commented: "The fact that the amount of EU spending subject to fraud is actually on the increase is shocking in itself. But it makes the Commission and MEPs' demands for a bigger EU budget all the more outrageous."
Former MEP Chris Heaton-Harris, who is now an Member of Parliament in Britain, said of the fraud report:
Everyone reading this will rightly be disgusted. But no-one in the commission or in Whitehall will be remotely surprised. The EU's accounts have not been signed off for 15 years, the culture and attitude towards taxpayers' money is a disgrace, whistleblowers are sacked if they dare to tell the truth. But no-one is ever sacked over misspending or fraud.
The facts bear out this pessimistic outlook expressed by so many former EU insiders. Last year Dutch auditor Maarten Engwirda resigned, protesting that rampant financial abuse was systematically swept under the rug. Engwirda, a 15-year veteran on the EU's Court of Auditors, said the "cover-up culture" endemic within the court and other EU institutions prevents disclosure of the actual extent of fraud taking place. "All these abuses never came out into the open because of the Kremlin-style information we provided. But it didn't enhance our reputation one bit," he said.
Taking exotic junket jollies at the taxpayers' expense is nothing new for the EU "royalty" in Brussels, but broader exposure of it will do much to reveal the hypocrisy of the EU's pampered princelings who call on citizens to support new austerity measures — while the princelings cavort at plush resorts. News of the high-flying lifestyles of the EU princelings is especially galling now, as eurozone unemployment rates have hit the highest levels since before the euro was introduced, with millions of people now out of work. In data released on January 31, the EU's statistics office Eurostat reported that joblessness among the 17 countries sharing the single currency rose to 10.4 percent in December, and the unemployment numbers are expected to continue trending higher. Unemployment in Greece is above 20 percent and in Spain it's at 23 percent. Unemployment among youth (those under 25) is an even worse picture: 22 percent in Britain; 24 percent in France; 30 percent in Italy; 31 percent in Portugal; 46 percent in Greece, and; 51 percent in Spain.

Barrie lifts Avalanche past Canucks
Tyson Barrie put the Colorado Avalanche ahead in the game — and the Central Division standings.
Barrie scored the go-ahead goal in the third period as the Avalanche defeated the Vancouver Canucks 4-2 on Thursday night. Paul Stastny added two goals and Semyon Varlamov stopped 38 shots for Colorado, which took over the top spot in the division ahead of the scuffling St. Louis Blues.
"Those are big points for us," Barrie said. "We have two games left and we know what's on the line."
John Mitchell scored into an empty net to seal it for Colorado, which is 8-0-1 in its last nine. The Blues, who have lost four straight, and Avalanche each have 111 points with two games left — but Colorado holds the tiebreaker.
The Avalanche tied a franchise record with 52 wins and Varlamov broke current coach Patrick Roy's mark of 40 wins in a season with Colorado after collecting his 41st of the campaign.
"The coach is very happy," Roy deadpanned.
Barrie's winner came with 7:30 left in regulation with the game tied at 2 and the teams playing 4-on-4. The 22-year-old defenseman moved in on a 2-on-1 rush, toe-dragged around a sprawling Alexander Edler and scored his 13th of the season, and fifth game-winner, past a helpless Jacob Markstrom.
"We hung Markstrom out to dry," Vancouver's Ryan Kesler. "He played good for us tonight and a couple of those goals we hung him out to dry and he had no chance."
Henrik Sedin and David Booth scored for Vancouver, which got 24 saves from Markstrom in his first start for the Canucks.
Edler had a chance to tie it with just over five minutes to go, but Varlamov made a great glove save on the Canucks defenseman.
"Varly was outstanding like he has been all year," Barrie said, "and these next two games are big."
The Canucks were playing their first game since Trevor Linden was hired as the team's president of hockey operations Wednesday. Linden replaced president and general manager Mike Gillis, who was fired after Vancouver was officially eliminated from postseason contention for the first time in six years following a dismal 3-0 home loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Monday.
"I think it was there. Again, I think it's like a lot of other games when we lose," Sedin said. "Shooting enough pucks to the net, enough chances to win but we're making crucial mistakes in the wrong areas of the ice. That's been something that's been happening all year."
Stastny snapped a 1-1 tie with his second of the night and 25th of the season at 5:21 of the third, burying a rebound off Eric Johnson's shot from the faceoff circle.
Booth tied the game 1:39 later with his ninth of the season, roofing Dan Hamhuis' rebound off the end boards over Varlamov's shoulder from in tight.
Linden, who was shown on the video board before Thursday's opening faceoff and received a nice applause, didn't have to look far to see the kind of success former players can have in management. Avalanche executive vice president of hockey operations Joe Sakic has his team in a battle for top spot in the Central Division, while Roy is in the running for the Jack Adams Trophy for a Colorado team that finished 29th last season.
"We played well, we played hard. It takes us a lot of scoring chances to score a goal," coach John Tortorella said. "That has been a recurring theme throughout the year, but I have no beef with our team as far as how hard they played."
Vancouver opened the scoring when Sedin tipped home his 11th of the season off a point shot from Hamhuis at 13:52.
Tortorella said earlier this week that his young players would get a chance to play with three meaningless games left on the schedule, and a play by Vancouver rookie Niklas Jensen directly led to Colorado's tying goal with 1:21 to go in the period.
Stastny stripped Jensen of the puck at the Avalanche blue line and he raced in alone, snapping his 24th through Markstrom.
"These guys want to play for something," Tortorella said. "They know in a couple days we're done. It's a difficult situation, but it's no excuse no matter where we're at not to finish the season the proper way and we're going to keep on trying to that for the next couple of games here."
NOTES: Canucks defenseman Kevin Bieksa said after the game that he will represent Canada at the world championships. … The Canucks will honor former coach and general manager Pat Quinn before Sunday's season finale against the Calgary Flames. … Canucks defenseman Jason Garrison was a healthy scratch as Vancouver chose to dress rookie Frank Corrado. … Avalanche forward Matt Duchene remained out with a knee injury.

A Good Year for May
April 13, 2013
By the beginning of her junior year, Megan K. May '13 was already a seasoned field researcher. As a freshman, May, a member of DePauw's Science Research Fellows (SRF) Program, collaborated with a pair of professors on a study of the microbial makeup of the DePauw Nature Park ponds. She spent the following summer at Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory in Maine, monitoring water conditions and studying the effects of cruise ships in nearby Bar Harbor.
Then, last spring, all that experience went down the toilet. Literally.
During a semester-long stay in Ecuador, May conducted research on waste collected by composting toilets in Puyo, a mountain town south of the capital. Used in places where reliable waste treatment isn't available, the waterless toilets separate sterile fluids from the potentially infectious solid waste, which must be stored for a period of time before it is safe to use as fertilizer. The wait can be anywhere from six months to more than a year depending on the location of the storage system, making it difficult to know when the waste has been rendered harmless. And in places where composting toilets are found, testing equipment is just as modest.
To pinpoint the necessary sequestration period, May tested samples for the presence of pathogens at different periods of decomposition. The work may sound unpleasant, but time quickly obscures the waste's true nature.
"After two months, feces basically looks and smells exactly like soil," May assures.
When she returned to DePauw last fall, the Ecuador experience became the centerpiece of her application to the National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship Program. Her friend, Catie M. Baker '12, had received the fellowship earlier in the year, encouraging May to try for one as well. If nothing else, she'd learn how to write a research proposal with support from her advisers, family and friends.
"I thought, okay, I'll try for this. I probably won't get it, but I'll get experience from applying because these are skills I need to have for the future anyway," May remembers.
A few months later, May awoke to a congratulatory text message from Baker. Thanks to a malfunctioning notification system, she was among the last to find out that she'd won.
The fellowship will provide May with a three-year annual stipend of $30,000 plus a $12,000 cost of education allowance at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology-Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Joint Program in Oceanography beginning this summer. [Read more.] She is the third DePauw senior in the last four years to receive the honor, joining Baker, now at University of Washington, and Kathleen F. Mittendorf '10, a graduate student at Vanderbilt University, both of whom were SRF members. Heidi N. Keiser '11, now at the University of Minnesota, also received the NSF fellowship this year.
It was the chance to dive directly into her interests that drew May to Greencastle four years ago – and ultimately paved the way for the fellowship. While other schools told her she'd have to wait, her SRF membership allowed her to pursue research as a freshman. And, having taken Spanish through high school and wanting to continue her studies, the Servicio en las Américas program took May on her first trip to Ecuador before her college classes even began. Two years later, as a biology major with minors in Spanish and sociology, all of her studies came together in Puyo.
"DePauw was offering all these cool opportunities right off the bat," she says. "It made me think, if I'm doing all this now, what can happen in the next four years?"
When she graduates next month, May says her fondest memories of DePauw won't just be of the places she visited or the work she's done, but also of the people she got to know along the way.
"In all my classes, people are really invested and interested in you," May says. "One of my favorite things about DePauw has been that professors are so willing to go out of their way to help you, and they want you to do as well as you want to do, both in class and in life. They're ready to help you make that leap."
Before she makes that leap, May has one last piece of research to wrap up. After returning from her semester abroad, she spent last summer with Karen Lloyd, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, comparing the reliability of sediment- and water-sampling methods. May compiled the data during the fall semester, and – if all goes according to plan – she'll leave DePauw as a published author, as well.Back

Back to School Events
Secretary Spellings recently concluded her Back to School tour of the country with new grant announcements, two major addresses, and a whirlwind visit to Pennsylvania. First, she announced 33 grants, totaling $17 million, to boost the participation of low-income students in Advanced Placement (AP) courses and tests (http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2006/09/
09082006.html). Second, she delivered remarks at a National Historically Black College and Universities Week conference at Howard University in Washington, D.C., reminding students of the availability of Academic Competitiveness and National SMART grants (http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2006/09/
09122006.html). Third, she visited Wilson Elementary School in Imperial, Pennsylvania, spoke to the National Conference of Editorial Writers (http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2006/09/
09142006.html) in Pittsburgh, and read to children in the Reach Out and Read program at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Finally, in suburban Virginia, she announced the first of dozens of grants, totaling $22 million, to help students learn critical foreign languages (http://www.ed.gov/news/photos/2006/0920/
NCLB Update (http://www.nochildleftbehind.gov/)
Yesterday (September 21), Secretary Spellings joined National Urban League President Marc Morial in Columbus, Ohio, to announce a new collaboration aimed at increasing parental involvement in selecting supplemental educational services. A town hall meeting immediately followed the announcement, allowing parents to learn about the services, receive information on educational providers in the area, register their children, and speak to families who have benefited from such services. Similar town hall meetings are scheduled for Broward County, Florida, and Gary, Indiana. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2006/09/
This morning, the Secretary will name the initial batch of 2006 No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon Schools. (A second batch will be named next month, after states complete Adequate Yearly Progress [AYP] calculations.) This program recognizes high performing schools (schools whose students, regardless of background, perform in the top 10 percent on their state assessments [public] or nationally normed assessments [private]) and dramatically improving schools (schools whose students, at least 40 percent of whom are from disadvantaged backgrounds, significantly improved on tests to score in at least the top 40 percent statewide). Chief State School Officers nominate public schools. The Council for American Private Education (CAPE) nominates private schools. Of the schools nominated by each state, at least one-third must have more than 40 percent of their students from disadvantaged backgrounds. All recipients must meet AYP requirements, as defined by their states. Schools will be honored at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., November 10-11. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/programs/nclbbrs/awards.html.
In other K-12 news:
- In a letter to Chief State School Officers, Assistant Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education Henry Johnson provided an update on the Department's priorities for the new school year, including improving assessments for limited English proficient (LEP) students and implementing the growth model pilot. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/policy/elsec/guid/stateletters/priorityltr.pdf.
- Acting Undersecretary and Chief of Staff David Dunn discussed reauthorization of No Child Left Behind at the Business Roundtable's fourth annual forum on the law. A transcript will be available shortly. For more information, please go to http://www.businessroundtable.org/.
- According to educators surveyed by the Center on Education Policy, Reading First is having a positive and significant impact on student achievement. For more information, please go to http://www.cep-dc.org/pubs/readingfirst/CEP-ReadingFirst.pdf.
LEP Regulations
Speaking of limited English proficient (LEP) students, the Department has unveiled final regulations for testing and evaluating LEP students under No Child Left Behind. The rules differ only slightly from the proposed regulations published two years ago, defining a "recently arrived" LEP student as one who has attended school in the U.S. for 12 months or lesscompared to 10 months or lessand requiring the reporting of "exemptions." Nevertheless, the rules codify greater flexibility on assessment, while holding the line on accountability. All "recently arrived" LEP students are exempt from one administration of the state's reading test. They must still take an English language proficiency test and the math test, but the scores do not have to be used in calculating AYP until the second administration of the test. For AYP determinations, the scores of former LEP students may be included in the LEP category for up to two years. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/admins/lead/account/lepfactsheet.html.

On September 19, after a year of public hearings and meetings, Secretary Spellings received the final report of the Commission on the Future of Higher Education. "Among the vast and varied institutions that make up U.S. higher education, we have found much to applaud but also much that requires urgent reform," the members explained. "As Americans, we can take great pride in our Nobel Prizes, our scientific breakthroughs, our Rhodes Scholars. But we must not be blind to the less inspiring realities of postsecondary education in our country." Specifically, the Commission offers a series of recommendations designed to improve accessibility, affordability, and accountability:
- expand higher education access and success by improving student preparation and persistence, addressing non-academic barriers, and providing significant increases in aid to low-income students;
- restructure the entire student financial aid system to combat the escalating cost of higher education, adding new incentives to manage costs and measure performance;
- create a "culture of accountability and transparency" across higher education, with new systems of data measurement and a publicly available information database;
- embrace a "culture of continuous innovation and quality improvement" by developing new pedagogies, curricula, and technologies, particularly in math and science literacy;
- formulate a national strategy for life-long learning so all citizens understand the importance of participating in higher education throughout their lives; and
- increase federal investment in areas critical to global competitiveness and re-commit to attracting the brightest minds from across the U.S. and around the world.

In other higher education news:
- The Secretary announced that the national student loan default rate is 5.1 percent, an increase from last year's record-low rate of 4.5 percent but 77 percent less than the all-time high of 22.4 percent. All of the nation's colleges and universities have default rates low enough to remain eligible for federal financial aid programs. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/offices/OSFAP/defaultmanagement/
- A report from the Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance, "Mortgaging Our Future," focuses on how financial barriers created by rising college prices and insufficient need-based grant aid lower bachelor's degree attainments and undercut America's competitiveness in the global economy.

Global Literacy
Earlier this week, First Lady Laura Bush hosted the first White House Conference on Global Literacy at the New York Public Library. The conference showcased initiatives being used in developing countries with high illiteracy rates, including work supported by the U.S. government, the U.N. Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and private entities. Panels focused on three areas of literacy: Mother-Child Literacy and Intergenerational Learning; Literacy for Health; and Literacy for Economic Self-Sufficiency. Next, UNESCO will hold regional conferences, gathering regional experiences, disseminating effective practices, and mobilizing partners and resources. More than 771 million adults around the world cannot read. Eighty-five percent of them live in just 35 countries, concentrated in regions of poverty, and over two-thirds are women. For more information, please go to http://www.globalliteracy.gov/. (Note: The Secretary moderated one of the panels. Her remarks are at http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2006/
International Report
According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's (OECD) "Education at a Glance," which tracks 30 industrialized nations, America's international standing in education continues to erode. For example, the U.S. graduation rate is pegged at 75 percent, placing it 17th out of 22 countries, behind the OECD average of 81 percent. Similarly, several countries have surpassed the U.S. in individuals with a college degree; the U.S., at 39 percent, now ranks seventh, behind Canada (53 percent), Japan (52 percent), and Korea (49 percent). Also, the U.S.'s 54 percent "survival rate" (percentage of individuals who enroll in college and ultimately receive a degree) is one of the OECD's lowest and well below the OECD average of 70 percent. For more information, please go to http://www.oecd.org/edu/eag2006/.
Quote to Note
"By investing in literacy and education, governments build their economies. When people read, they're more likely to participate in business and trade, which leads to greater economic development. And literacy helps both men and women provide for themselves, their families, and their communities. Countries prosper with an educated workforce."
|First Lady Laura Bush (9/18/06),

Spy Boot Campers Ride Carlsbad Lagoon
Thursday marked the end of the 7th Annual Spy Boot Camp, and the contest winners made sure they went out with a bang by tearing it up on the water at Carlsbad Lagoon. Each year Spy selects 6 lucky winners (5 from retail shops and 1 very lucky consumer) for Boot Camp. For this years contest, the winners were flown into San Diego for a week of fun in the sun. Before heading to the Lagoon, the campers spent the week watching the X Games and partying it up with Rob Dyrdek at the Fantasy Factory, hitting up the motocross track with Jeremy McGrath, and going Surfing with pro riders Mike Losness, Luke Davis and Kanoa Igarashi.
The winners were then treated to a day at the Lagoon, taking some sessions in the morning, then scarfing down sandwiches and beer before heading back out for an afternoon set. Spy's Melissa Marquardt came out and did a demo and gave some pointers to the boot campers. Also, Liquid Force's Aaron Grace and our own Bill McCaffray were there hanging out.
After getting some wakeboarding in, Spy took the campers to their headquarters in Carlsbad to see what has been happening with all the happenings there. Then the crew took off for an awards ceremony at the Transworld Media Offices. Kona Brewing Co. was there too, providing a BBQ and kegs. The day was finally finished with a race at K1, compliments of Transworld.
…Man, I wish I could be a Spy Boot Camper…

Q: What is the purpose of a payment plan?
Payment plans allow you to budget the comprehensive fee over time, instead of following the traditional semester payment schedule. The payment plan is designed so that the parent or student can pay the total cost of education in monthly installments. There is an enrollment fee, but you pay no interest.
Q: Who provides the payment plans?
The College has contracted with Nelnet Business Solutions (NBS) to provide and manage the payment plans.
Q: What types of plans are available?
NBS offers three different payment plan options:
• 10-month payment plan, June – March, no down payment
• 9-month payment plan, July – March, 10% down payment (processed immediately)
• 8-month payment plan, August – March, 20% down payment (processed immediately)
Q: How do I enroll in a payment plan?
Payment plans are managed through CCPay, the College's online payment system. To enroll, click the Make Payment link in CCPay, then click the eCashier button. (Students are automatically enrolled in CCPay, but they are responsible for giving others access to their College accounts by registering them as authorized payers in CCPay. The College cannot automatically enroll others due to the U.S. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.) See CCPay FAQ for more details.
Q: What if I don't receive confirmation of enrollment in a payment plan?
If you do not receive confirmation from Nelnet Business Solutions immediately after submitting an application, you should contact the Bursar's office. (See contact information at end of FAQ.)
Q: What if I am not sure how much my financial aid is going to be at the time I set up a payment plan? How will I know how to calculate my payments?
You should calculate the anticipated amount due on the comprehensive fee. If you receive your tuition bill and find that you have either an insufficient or excess amount budgeted, you can modify the amount by notifying the Bursar's office by phone or email. Contact information for the Bursar's Office is below. (You cannot make these modifications via CCPay.) The Connecticut College student ID number and name must be included for any adjustments to be processed.
Q: What if I change financial institutions or want to assign a different account to my payment plan?
The payer must provide the new account information to the Bursar's office or NBS at least 10 business days prior to the next effective debit date. Failure to give notice of 10 business days may result in the incorrect account being debited and a $30 returned payment fee. Notification must include the name and address of the new financial institution, your routing number and account number. We recommend including with your notification a voided check from the new institution/account so we can ensure the routing and account numbers are correct, but it is not required. Please verify your bank routing number and checking account number with your financial institution. Failure to do so may result in your debit being returned unpaid by your bank.
Q: What if I need to adjust the monthly payment amount?
The payer or authorized student may adjust the payment amount at any time by contacting the Bursar's office at least 10 business days prior to the next effective debit date. The notification should include the new amount to be deducted and the effective date of the new amount. You must include the Connecticut College student name and ID number in your notification for any adjustments to be processed. Connecticut College will not make changes to an account without proper authorization.
Q: Are there any fees connected with the payment plans?
Just a non-refundable enrollment fee of $45. There is no interest, as the payment plan is not a loan. It is simply an arrangement allowing you to pay in monthly installments.
Q: If I do not choose to participate in a Nelnet payment plan, what other methods of payment are available?
You may pay your fees through CCPay, the College's ebilling system. Payment can also be made at the Bursar's office by cash, check, cashier's check or money order. You may also mail any of these forms of payment, except cash. Please be sure to include the student ID number on any payments/correspondence sent to the College.
Q: What if I … withdraw from Connecticut College? … am not eligible to return to Connecticut College? … am academically suspended?
The Bursar's office is not immediately notified of changes in student status. If the student withdraws from the College or is academically suspended, the student must notify the Bursar's office in writing 10 business days prior to the next debit date to adjust or cancel the Nelnet Solutions Payment Plan. Notification may also be mailed to the Bursar. You must provide the Connecticut College student ID number and student name for any adjustments to be processed. Failure to make a change request may result in unnecessary debits being made to the authorized bank account. If a refund is due, it will be issued according to the university's refund policy.

Tempted to simplify your taxes by taking the standard deduction? Don't write off the possibility of itemizing just yet. It could save you heaps of cash.
The standard deduction is the amount you can deduct from your income pretty much automatically. It's $5,700 if you're single; $11,400 if you're married and filing jointly; $8,400 if you're filing as head of household.
But if you add up all the expenses you can itemize, tax experts say, the total could be greater than the standard deduction. If that's the case, you'd deduct your itemized expenses instead of the standard deduction—and end up owing less (maybe even getting a bigger refund!).
It sounds like a snore, and yes—it will take some time—but think of it as a treasure hunt and dig through these six categories:
- Qualified real estate expenses. If you bought or refinanced your home in 2010, or if you have an existing home equity loan, you can deduct the interest on your loans, and some or all of the points you paid, as well as real estate taxes (but not legal fees).
- Sales tax OR state and local income tax. You can deduct whichever amount is greater. How do you know? Seven states don't have income tax, so those residents would tally up their sales tax for last year. If you made any big purchases—a car, an appliance—your sales tax may exceed your state tax. See more details and use the IRA calculator here.
- Donations to qualified charitable and religious organizations.
- Medical and dental expenses for you and your family that exceed 7.5% of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI).
- Some types of investment interest you paid or expenses related to taxable accounts (not IRAs).
- Miscellaneous deductions that exceed 2% of your AGI—including job-hunting expenses, union dues, some work-related materials and training, tax-prep fees, and a lot more
If your itemized deductions are indeed greater than the standard deduction, download Schedule A for Form 1040 and itemize away. For more detail, search on IRS.gov. It's surprisingly helpful.

What is Type 1 Diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes, which used to be called insulin-dependent or juvenile diabetes, is a chronic disease that destroys the body's ability to make insulin, a hormone used to break down and store energy (in the form of glucose or "sugar") from foods. Without insulin, high levels of fat and glucose remain in the bloodstream, which can damage blood vessels and vital organs over time.
Scientists do not know exactly what causes type 1 diabetes, but they believe that a combination of genetic and environmental factors are to blame. Diabetes is an autoimmune disease. This means that the immune system, which normally ignores healthy cells but destroys germs and foreign substances that could cause illness, mistakenly launches an attack on the body itself – in this case destroying insulin producing islet cells in the pancreas. People may develop type 1 diabetes at any age, but it is frequently diagnosed before adulthood. It accounts for about 5%-10% of all diabetes cases, and affects approximately one in every 400 to 500 children in the U.S.
Most Commonly Used Terms
Autoimmune disease: disorder of the body's immune system in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys body tissue considered foreign.
Islet cells: cells that make insulin and are found within the pancreas; also called pancreatic beta cells.
Islet transplantation: moving the islets from a donor pancreas into a person whose pancreas has stopped producing insulin. Beta cells in the islets make the insulin that the body needs for using blood glucose.
Pancreas: an organ that makes insulin and enzymes for digestion. The pancreas is located behind the lower part of the stomach and is about the size of a hand.
Insulin: A hormone made by the islet cells of the pancreas. Insulin controls the amount of sugar in the blood by moving it into the cells, where it can be used for energy.
Blood glucose: the main sugar that the body makes from food and the body's main source of energy; cells cannot use glucose without the help of insulin. Also called blood sugar.
Clinical trials: Carefully controlled studies conducted to test the effectiveness and safety of new drugs, medical products or techniques. All drugs in the U.S. undergo three phases of clinical trials before being approved for general use.
Health services: services performed by health care professionals or by others under their direction for the purpose of promoting, maintaining, or restoring health.

In the wake of Steve Niles, Jimmy Palmiotti, and Justin Gray's Creator-Owned Heroes, it's nice to see other creators establishing informal studios to take a stab at the ongoing-anthology format. Anthony Marques, Fernando Ruiz, Bob Hardin and Fabio Redivo are graduates and current staff instructors of the Kubert School who have teamed to produce Epics, a quarterly comic that serializes four pulp-inspired stories. Marques is creating Katyusha, Ruiz has The Iron Ghost, Hardin's making A Racy Story and Redivo presents Drake.
The first issue was paid for by fans via Kickstarter and released Sept. 15 during a special signing at Dewy's Comic City in Madison, New Jersey, but subsequent issues will be published by A Wave Blue World. The publisher has the first issue for sale right now (it's also available digitally through comiXology) and promises that Issue 2 will be released in March. There are also plans for Katyusha and Iron Ghost spin-off series next year.
Check out previews of all four stories after the break.

SANTA CLARA — Neither contract negotiations nor a Miami police investigation kept Colin Kaepernick from joining his 49ers teammates for Monday's start of the offseason training program.
Kaepernick is entering his fourth season and also the final year of his rookie contract. Talks on an extension reportedly have been tabled while Miami police finish investigating an incident where they were summoned to remove an unidentified woman from Kaepernick's apartment.
Players are not required to participate in the offseason program, aside from a three-day minicamp June 17-19.
Linebacker Aldon Smith, just over a week after getting arrested in Los Angeles on suspicion of making a false bomb threat, was among those present at Monday's workouts, Comcast SportsNet reported.
Not in attendance Monday was running back LaMichael James, who's training in his native Texas amid reports he might get traded.
Cornerback Chris Culliver, who's facing hit-and-run and weapon charges, was seen among those working out in a photo slideshow on the 49ers' website, as was linebacker NaVorro Bowman, who's recovering from knee surgery.
Offensive tackle Jonathan Martin, traded from the Miami Dolphins after his harassment there, enjoyed the first day of 49ers workouts. "Feels good to be back at it with my new teammates. Great first day," Martin tweeted.
Another newcomer happy with Day 1 was safety Antoine Bethea, who tweeted: "Good first day of work with my new band of brothers!!"
Linebacker Michael Wilhoite, Bowman's potential replacement for the start of the 49ers' season, was able to work out once he signed the one-year tender he received as an exclusive rights free agent. Bowman is recovering from surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament he tore in the NFC Championship game, and he's not expected back until midseason.
The 49ers would not confirm who else showed for the voluntary workout, and there was no media access Monday.

Brief Synopsis
As Russia's invasion of Chechnya shows, the Russian armed forces are suffering from tremendous shortages of capable leaders and soldiers. These problems, among others, relate directly to the shortage of funds for the military. Yet Russia cannot afford to spend more than it is now spending on the armed forces. This is the crux of an abiding Russian strategic dilemma, namely the gap between the state's ambitions and objectives and the means of realizing them. Until Russia resolves this dilemma by scaling back its goals, tremendous pressure and impetus to revive a state system in which military spending and the social forces that benefit from a stress on such spending will prevail in politics. This monograph examines the defense sector's current crisis which has come about due to the collapse of the Soviet Union and of the Russian economy. Should Russia continue to fail to meet the challenge of overcoming an economy excessively geared to defense, prospects for the security of Russia's neighbors and for Russia's democratization remain dim. In the final analysis, the crisis of Russia s defense economy is a vital part of the ongoing crisis of the Russian State.
