Question: I am single and fortunate to have substantial assets. In planning for my estate to avoid paying state taxes, I want to begin giving money to my children and grandchildren, while I am alive. What should I be aware of?
Answer: For single individuals, a gifting strategy is the primary method of reducing one's estate below the $1,000,000 Massachusetts estate tax threshold. If you have above $5.25 million, you have even greater motivation to reduce your estate to avoid federal estate taxes.
When gifting, you should normally keep the amount of money under $14,000 per year Continue reading

Before the logging industry moved westward, Merrill was a vital link in keeping the industry moving.
"Merrill was really a hub of activity, a bustling town; we had an opera house, a streetcar, and all the trappings you would have with a very progressive city" Pat Burg of the Merrill Historical Society told Newsline 9.
The process of log stamping is where Merrill made its name. Logs cut from the Northwoods were floated up the Wisconsin River to Merrill. There they would be stamped, a practice similar to cattle branding, with marks identifying which log would go to which sawmill.
The Merrill Historical Society, 102 E. 3rd Street, Merrill, is home to a large collection of log stamp hammers salvaged from the Wisconsin River years after use.
"It's really pretty unique to this part of the country because by the time other parts of the country were being logged, the technology had changed" Merrill Historical Society volunteer Thomas Burg said.
The society currently operates inside a former church building northeast of downtown. But after more than five years of collecting donations, plans to break ground on an expanded historical center are quickly coming to fruition.
With hopes of raising one million dollars, the society says they hope to have bids out on the project by late-January with a groundbreaking this spring.
Adding on to the rear of the church building will allow for more room to house the society's logging artifacts, its sizeable collection of Native American cultural relics and space to host community events.
The updated construction will also make the facility handicap accessible.
More information on how to donate to the historical center construction efforts can be found at www.merrillhistoricalsoc.com.

NARRATOR: When we first look at Jackson Pollock's work, it looks accidental, even sloppy. But try to isolate a single color and follow its path through the painting; you'll see that it's actually carefully and deliberately constructed. Pollock placed the canvas on the floor of his studio; then he moved around it, dripping and splattering the paint in layers, painstakingly building up the surface. The composition itself is a map of his movement, a record of raw emotion. A generation earlier, realism dominated American painting. But the Second World War threw everything into question. Pollock responded with groundbreaking abstractions like this one. His paintings are grand and improvisational. In 1950 he said: "It seems to me that the modern painter cannot express this age—the airplane, the atom bomb, the radio—in the old forms of the Renaissance, or of any other past culture. Each age finds its own technique." During the post-war era, the center of the art world shifted from Europe to New York. Abstract art established itself as the dominant style, led by artists like Pollock, de Kooning, Rothko and Kline. You'll see their work in this gallery.

Barack Obama discovers champagne habits of 1%
Last night, while you were heating your Spaghetti-Os on your camp stove in the hobo hovel you've lived in since being laid off from your job four years ago, Barack Obama was fundraising at a $40,000-per-plate event at the NYC club 40/40 (40/40 referring to a baseball accomplishment in which a player earns 40 home runs and steals 40 bases in a single season), owned by rap- and fashion-mogul (and multimillionaire) Jay-Z and his wife Beyonce. Or as Obama likes to refer to them, "Jay and Bey."
Now, since you weren't invited to Jay and Bey's swanky party, and likely don't call them Jay and Bey without people assuming you have some sort of issue that requires professional help, let's just say details of the soiree, including Beyonce's insane hairstyle and white formal shorts, are very available. As are photos. Like this one. Of the club's centerpiece, a wall of Armand de Brignac Brut Gold bottles (known as "Ace of Spades" for those who have difficulty with literacy, as it has a giant ace of spades on the front of the bottle), imported from Chigny Les Roses in Champagne-Ardennes, and said, to cost, in total, around $105,000.
That is a lot of Spaghetti-Os right there.
Now, technically, most people are pricing this wall with the $300-per-bottle price tag in mind, but see, that's what a plebeian would pay at a liquor store. Granted, it would be a liquor store with a glass case, in a very nice neighborhood, but that's still the price for suckers who have to purchase alcohol themselves. At 40/40 you can indulge in 11 dollar nachos, a King Crab slider and a $24 grilled chicken breast, and bottle service, which is either how you show how rich you are, or how you compensate for being so ugly, they won't let you into a sports bar. With bottle service, you can "reserve" a table by paying approximately two-to-three times the regular cost of a bottle of alcohol, which they will then serve to you in a number of artistic ways, depending on how much cash you have on hand. One club in Vegas lets topless girls on a zipline deliver bottle service to people with thousands to blow.
But I digress.
At 40/40 bottle service with a bottle of Ace of Spades (the gold, not the rose) will run you about $500. To order the entire wall of Ace of Spades at 40/40, let's just say most people would have to take out a second mortgage on their foreclosed house.
But it's cool. We understand. Barack Obama is President of all of us, and that includes the people who buy golden bottles of champagne on Tuesday nights. Especially when they're writing $40,000 checks.

(01/31/14) - This very cold and snowy winter hasn't been sitting well with everyone, but this type of weather may be exactly what the Great Lakes needed.
Decreasing water level on the lakes has been a concern for years, but the snow and ice may mean 2014 might be the year that trend starts to change.
"It's amazing, you can get out snowmobiling, ice fishing, skiing," said Billy Blair.
Blair and friends are doing two of the three along Saginaw Bay.
The Shiver on the River ice fishing contest begins this weekend, and Blair says the weather has been perfect for the sport.
"The last few years, we haven't been able to get at them, and this year, we are tearing them up," he said.
"There are 16 inches of ice out there," said Joe Leuenberger. "This is the most ice we have had in over 20 years."
Leuenberger is right. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers estimates the Great Lakes are now close to 70 percent ice-covered, which is the most coverage since 1994. More ice now means more water later.
Jim Baker, of the Department of Natural Resources, says the milder and less snowy winters of the past few years have helped contribute to water levels dropping in the Great Lakes.
"The extra ice cover on the Great Lakes helps cut down on evaporation, which is a major part of our water loss," he said.
While we have been getting a lot of snow, the Upper Peninsula has been getting more.
"All of that Lake Superior water comes down through Lake Huron and Michigan and that's what sustains our water levels through the summer," Baker said.
It's possible the harsh winter will mean a better summer for shipping and boating.
"Low water levels cause the Great Lakes ships to carry lighter loads in order to deal with shallower harbors and the same is certainly true for our recreational boats," Baker said.
More snow and cold are in the forecast, but maybe, it's not such a bad thing.
"For driving, it's terrible. For recreational purposes, it's been amazing," Blair said.
Right now, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says Lakes Superior, Michigan and Huron are 13 to 14 inches higher than they were last year at this time.

Most dental schools require personal interviews with applicants to assess qualities such as self-confidence, interpersonal skills and ability to overcome challenges. This is your time to shine — and to ask questions about the school.
Every school's interview process is unique. Talk to your pre-health advisor or contact the dental school directly to find out about the interview process.
Know yourself. Explain your unique qualities that make you a good leader. Share your interests, including volunteer experiences or activities that have made you a well-rounded person. Balance honesty with being humble. Remember to mention the mentors who helped you along your way (and share what they taught you). It is likely that the interviewer will ask questions based on your submitted materials, so review them beforehand.
Know why you want to go to dental school. Be ready to clearly and confidently share why you are pursuing this profession in 2-3 minutes. Be sincere and passionate.
Read these tips from the director of admissions at Case Western.
Know why School ABC is the best place for you. You may need to do some heavy research to feel confident in this answer. If you picked this school because of its well-respected professors, innovative curricula or specialty training, you need to convince the interviewer why this is the place for you.
Know a few key issues in dentistry. Utilize ASDA's print publications (Mouth and ASDA News) and e-newsletters to understand what is going on in your future profession.
Know what to bring. Read the blog post "9 things to bring on an interview" for a list of interview must-haves you might forget to pack.
Dress to impress. Dress in business professional attire. Men should wear a suit or a coat and tie. Women should wear a suit or skirt and jacket.
Ask your own questions. Your interview should confirm which school is right for you. Ask the right questions to get the complete picture of what dental school is like.
Follow-up. Ask for a business card from everyone you interview with. Then send a thank you card (or e-mail) to each person. Let them know you appreciated the opportunity and ask any follow-up questions.

4 Strong Picks From a Top Hedge Fund Manager
Federico is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
I think it is important to consider stocks that prominent investors recently added to their portfolios. As it is explained in one of the blog posts in Warren Trades, top value managers have more resources and information than any individual investor to analyze companies. In general they do not buy stocks for daytrading or short term trading. Hedge funds with billions under management are long term oriented so tracking their picks is one important step when analyzing stocks. In this article I will detail 4 interesting picks from top value manager David Einhorn, founder of Greenlight Capital.
The first one is General Motors (NYSE: GM). I agree with David Einhorn that the company has not given credit for its improved competitive and financial position post-bankrupcy. First of all, GM is poised to benefit from a significant product upgrade cycle. According to Detroit News, Chevrolet will introduce 13 all-new or significantly updated models during 2013 in what one executive calls a "big year" for General Motors. Chevrolet says more consumers are considering its vehicles and it's seeing younger buyers, especially for vehicles such as the Sonic and Spark. Both are attracting about 60 percent of buyers from non-GM brands.
The company is also benefiting from a continued recovery in the US market highlighted in the recent auto sales report. General Motors reported its highest September U.S. sales since 2008, exactly 210,245 vehicles sold or up 1.5 percent compared with a year ago. New products helped drive a 29 percent increase in passenger car sales. Sales of GM's mini, small and compact cars alone were up a combined 97 percent, and all GM brands increased their retail sales.
The company also announced in the recent Citi Global Industrials Conference that it expects to increase capacity to 120% in the future and is seeing a dramatic improvement in pricing in the U.S. GM is also aligning supply and demand and rationalizing the dealer footprint. Valuation is very attractive. Currently, shares of General Motors are trading at just 8x consensus 2012 EPS estimates. According to Zacks, over the last five years, shares have traded in a range of 5.0x to 10.3x trailing 12- month earnings. Considering that, the stock is trading at a discount to the peer group, considering that the current P/E is at a 35% discount to the peer group.
The second pick from Einhorn is Seagate Technologies (NASDAQ: STX). This stock is one of Einhorn's top holdings. I think that while the tech supply chain awaits the return of unit growth within the PC market or the data center growth to fully compensate for the shortfall, Seagate and the HDD industry are controlling capacity, holding the line on margins, and remaining focused on cash flow, buybacks and dividends. This is the main reason why shares are holding very well despite other PC related stocks being in a clear downtrend. I think that investors should benefit from Seagate's continued capital distribution strategies. In the last analyst day held in NYC, management explained that Seagate has the financial and strategic latitude to maintain its profitability gains despite macro headwinds. I think that the stock will keep trading in the range from $33 to $28 as EPS growth visibility is still unclear, but the company continued shareholder oriented strategies which created a floor in the stock.
Einhorn also invested in Oaktree Capital (NYSE: OAK). Oaktree is growing very well as its reported assets under management were $81.0 billion and fee-generating assets under management were $66.2 billion, up from $73.0 billion and $63.4 billion, respectively, as of September 30, 2011. The company is a top value oriented asset manager that benefits from the secular trend of alternative assets. OAK is a top dividend stock as it provides a robust 7% yield (based on annualizing its last quarterly payout) at its current stock price of $43. Based on earnings projections, this yield should move considerably higher over the next year as well. The median target price on OAK by the five analysts that cover the company is $48 and some analysts model a price of $55.
Finally, Einhorn likes Einstein Noah (NASDAQ: BAGL), a small restaurant chain. The stock is clearly one of Einhorn's favorites. Einhorn has held BAGL for more than sevel quarters and Greenlight Capital owns almost 65% of the company's oustanding shares. Einstein Noah is also one of Einhorn's top dividend-paying holdings, with an annualized dividend of 50 cents per share, generating a yield of about 3%. Einstein Noah shares sold off sharply as the company missed earnings expectations. It also announced that it is continuing to explore a possible business combination or sale. In addition, its board of directors is considering a possible recapitalization of the company, which may include payment of a special dividend, as part of its continuing review of strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. I am positive on the fact that management is shareholder oriented. A Fool analyst thinks that the company's differentiated offerings provide a strong, competitive edge against other chains like McDonald's or Starbucks. The article is also positive on the fact that Einstein Noah is shifting to healthy offerings, increasing sales to people who are getting more and more health conscious.
As I explained in a blog post, I think that it is essential to analyze each company's competitive advantages, growth projections and its operating history. David Einhorn shares this view and I always find his analysis and investment decisions very interesting. Greenlight Capital has a strong research team that produces superb fundamental analysis when investing in a stock. In this article I detailed several picks from Einhorn and provide a fundamental reason to invest in them.

The University of Colorado Family Medicine Residency and the University of Colorado School of Medicine Department of Family Medicine have developed a reputation for innovation in Family Medicine practice and education. The residency program has been involved in the American Academy of Medical College's Chronic Care Collaborative.
It is currently one of fourteen residencies nationwide participating in the Preparing the Personal Physician for Practice (P4) demonstration project. The project is looking for the best way to prepare residents for the future demands of Family Medicine practice.
We have redesigned our curriculum to create time to teach residents the concepts and skills associated with redesigning Family Medicine practices as Patient Centered Medical Homes (PCMH). We are active in the Colorado PCMH Collaborative project, which has the goal of having residency practices in Colorado become PCMH practices.
The Department of Family Medicine has long been successful in a variety of Family Medicine initiatives including facilitating practice change, rejoining medical and mental health services in a PCMH and conducting both practice-based research and Community-Based Collaborative Research.
The AF Williams Family Medicine Center is involved with the efforts of the new planned community being built on Denver's old Stapleton Airport to become the healthiest community in the country. A long term research project following the progress of this effort is being conducted by the Department of Family Medicine. Stapleton 2040 is actively participating with the community in defining how to become this healthy community.
The department is actively involved in three practice-based research networks that are addressing very fundamental questions about what improves patients' care and health outcomes in family practices across the state of Colorado.
Consider joining our residency that is committed to providing the type of health care training that will prepare you to take on the challenges of practice in the twenty-first century.

It clings seemingly impossible to a cliff of rock at 3,000 feet above the valley floor. For the local people it is a place of pilgrimage, but for a tourist, a hike up to the monastery is exhausting, thrilling and mystical.

"Big Brother" contestant Aaryn Gries, whose racial and homophobic slurs have sparked a firestorm — and high ratings — for the CBS reality show, has at least one ally — her mother.
Just days after Gries was evicted from the "Big Brother" house, Elizabeth Owens is speaking out in a statement to The Times, chastising her daughter but declaring that the remarks are not reflective of Gries' upbringing or her true character.
"While I love and continue to support my daughter Aaryn, words cannot describe my disappointment in some of her comments made on 'Big Brother,'" Owens wrote. "These inappropriate comments certainly do not represent the value system under which her father and I have raised her. Aaryn is a young 22-year-old college student that has spent 70 days living in a fish bowl and making mistakes for America to see."
PHOTOS: Cable versus broadcast ratings
Owens lashed out at the show's producers and host Julie Chen, saying that "Big Brother" has highlighted Gries' missteps in a blatant attempt to boost ratings. The series, in which several contestants are isolated without contact with the outside world, has been one of CBS' highest-rated summer performers.
Gries was kicked out of the "Big Brother" house Thursday during the live weekly episode in which houseguests vote off a contestant. She has been fired from her job at a modeling agency as a result of her remarks but is not aware of the fallout because she remains isolated as part of a jury of ousted contestants who will determine the winner on the season finale Sept. 18.
Many of Gries' remarks came in the early weeks of the contest and were shown on a 24-hour live Web stream.
Referring to African American houseguest Candice Stewart, Gries said, "Be careful what you say in the dark, might not get to see the bitch." In one episode, she flipped over Stewart's mattress and mocked her while adopting a stereotypical black accent.
At another point, Gries said of an Asian American contestant, "Shut up, go make some rice," and used a homophobic term to describe another houseguest.
PHOTOS: Hollywood Backlot moments
The slurs by Gries and another houseguest, GinaMarie Zimmerman (who is still in the house), have ignited a charged controversy around the show, which is in its 15th season.
Chen, who is Asian American, said the comments were "extremely hurtful," calling Gries "ignorant, young and immature." CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves, who is married to Chen, called the remarks "absolutely appalling."
In the wake of the furor in July over the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, CBS distanced itself from the racially charged comments on the show, taking the unusual step of airing disclaimers before several episodes.
During a tense interview with Chen following her eviction, Gries was alternately defensive ("I have said some things that have been taken completely out of context") and remorseful ("I feel horrible").
In her statement to The Times, Owens wrote that she wanted "Americans to see the young woman that I know; Aaryn is kind, loving and generous, though certainly not perfect and without fault in this incidence."
Gries attended her senior prom with an African American man, "one of her closest friends through high school," Owens wrote.
PHOTOS: Celebrity portraits by The Times
"Aaryn's first true love was Cuban American, and she has cousins of Japanese descent who she truly loves," she added. "She has never discriminated against anyone for their sexual orientation whether within our family or not. Aaryn truly loves all people equally."
She added that Gries, who is from San Angelo, Texas, recently sponsored a little girl in the Philippines through the Save the Children program.
Owens accused "Big Brother" of exploiting Gries' controversial behavior while downplaying her subsequent apologies.

Exercise equipment for home?

Exercise equipment for home?
|Tue, 03-05-2013 - 7:49am
I went to Walmart yesterday to see if they had any kind of home exercise equipment and I was shocked at how much they had to offer. I rarely venture into that part of the store and I really wasn't expecting so much. I bought a mat and some 3lb weights but couldn't really decide if I needed anything else. What does everyone else have for their home?
|Wed, 03-13-2013 - 11:14am
It is interesting that I was just visiting one of my friends and then I see this message. It's like some sort of omen to me that I need to work out.
She was showing me a couple of videos, Jillian Michaels I believe, a mat, and some hand weights. 3 and 5 lbs I believe. I'll ask her and see if there was anything else.

The man accused of being the East Coast Rapist pleaded guilty in Loudoun County on Thursday afternoon to rape and abduction.
Aaron H. Thomas, 41, entered the pleas in Loudoun County Circuit Court related to the rape of a woman who was moving out of her Leesburg apartment in May 2001.
Thomas was expected to enter a plea two weeks ago accepting responsibility for the abduction of three teenage girls in Prince William County on Halloween 2009. Authorities say he raped two of the girls, but at that hearing told a judge he didn't know whether what he was doing was right or wrong.
Thomas is due back in Prince William County Circuit Court on Friday.
Thomas is suspected in more than a dozen attacks that occurred from 1997 to 2009 in Virginia, Maryland, Connecticut and Rhode Island. He was arrested in March 2011 in Connecticut after a tipster from Prince George's County called Crime Solvers.

Volunteers to make a difference by picking up cigarette butts Oct. 27
Karen Llewellyn, Public Works
Vancouver, WA – Estimates indicate that cigarette butts and other tobacco products account for 32 percent of litter in the nation's parks and other outdoor recreation areas.
At 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 27, volunteers will assemble at Luke Jensen Sports Park, 4000 N.E. 78th St., for "The Butt Stops Here" cleanup, one of several events planned for national "Make a Difference Day."
Following a short orientation, volunteers will break into small groups and fan out to parks and public areas in Vancouver and Clark County in search of cigarette butts and other litter. At 12:30 p.m., they will return to the sports park to weigh bags of cigarette butts and litter. Food will be served from 12:30 to 1 p.m.
Contrary to popular belief, cigarette butts are not biodegradable. About 95 percent of a cigarette filter consists of cellulose acetate, a plastic that can take years to biodegrade. Discarded butts contain chemicals carried by storm runoff into streams, rivers and wetlands, where they can harm fish and other aquatic life.
"Not only are cigarette butts an eyesore, but they are an environmental hazard," said Karen Llewellyn, volunteer coordinator for Clark County Public Works. "Last year, it was both impressive and discouraging to see how many cigarette butts volunteers could pick up in only a few hours. We hope these events will encourage smokers to keep cigarette butts off the ground."
Volunteers are urged to bring their own gloves, but gloves and garbage bags will be provided. Please dress for the weather and wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes.
Volunteers can sign up at parkhero.org, a website serving the county and city.
Other "Make a Difference Day" events are scheduled Oct. 27. The Vancouver Public Works Greenway/Sensitive Lands Team will partner with the Vancouver Watersheds Alliance an upslope restoration project along Burnt Bridge Creek at Leverich Community Park. Volunteers can register by calling the Vancouver Watersheds Alliance at (360) 852-9189.

I don't know about you, but I liked Breaking Dawn part 2. I liked the fighting scene and how it wasn't real, but I wish they could make a spin off movie with Jacob and Renesme.

Long regarded by those in the know as a best bet when it comes to taking the family to the beach, Ocean City, recently received the recognition it deserves. TripAdvisor named the resort to No. 8 on its 2011 list of best family amusements and boardwalks.
Known as the White Marlin capital of the world, Ocean City also boasts a lively boardwalk, hundreds of restaurants, a bounty of activities and more than 15 golf courses within a short drive.
"It's just one of those appealing types of vacations that sticks with you and makes you want to come back," said Abbott. "People have been vacationing here for generations. Given our geographical location and our beautiful beach, it just keeps bringing people back."
Ocean City stretches along the Atlantic Ocean from the Inlet to the Delaware state line, and with 10 miles in between, there are plenty of choices. Below we offer five itineraries for spending a perfect day at the beach.
Family times
From miniature golf, to spending the day in the waves, to flying a kite on the beach, there are plenty of things a family can do while in Ocean City. We provide just a sampling.
Make your own breakfast. The Fractured Prune offers hot, hand-dipped doughnuts and the ability to create your own — enough said. Oh, except that kids meals are served on a Frisbee, something that comes in handy at the beach. Three locations in Ocean City: 28th Street (410-289-1134), 127th Street (410-250-4400) and West Ocean City at the corner of Rt. 611 and Sunset Avenue (410-213-9899), fracturedprune.com.
Seek the truth. Check out Ripley's Believe it or Not! Odditorium, where truth is much stranger than fiction. (On the Boardwalk, 401 S. Atlantic Ave., Ocean City, 410-289-5600; oceancity.ripleys.com.)
Ride the Boardwalk. Trimpers Rides has all the classics such as bumper cars, a merry-go-round, the Himalaya and Ferris Wheel. For $23, wristband admission allows unlimited rides beginning June 18. (South First Street and the boardwalk, 410-289-8617; trimpersrides.com).
Grab a bucket. Thrasher's fries are legendary (401 S. Atlantic St. at the boardwalk, 410-289-7232) as is the tub of Fisher's Popcorn (200 St. Atlantic Ave. at the boardwalk, 410-289-5638, fisherspopcorn.com).
Have lunch with pirates. Dead Freddies Island Grill is a family restaurant that offers a separate play area for kids including a pirate ship to climb on. Adults can watch from nearby tables. (64th Street, 410-524-3733, deadfreddiesoceancity.com).
Take the afternoon to fish and crab. For kids the best bet is the pier at Northside Park. The 58-acre complex includes a fishing lagoon, footbridge and if the fish aren't biting, walking paths and playgrounds. (125th Street, Ocean City, 410-250-0125, oceancitymd.gov)
Have a play date. Not only does Fish Tales Bar and Grill offer great food, but there's also a playground in the sand and you can take the kids along the marina to see the fresh catch of the day. Bonus for mom and dad, Fish Tales had the award-winning Bloody Mary last year with its Crabby Mary. (22nd St. bayside at the Bahia Marina, 410-289-0990, ocfishtales.com)
Exercise your funny bone. The Family Beach Olympics take place every Tuesday evening at the 27th Street beach with fun events, including sand castle contests, tug of war, relay races and more. Children must be accompanied by an adult. (June 28–Aug. 9, 6:30-8:30 p.m., 800-626-2326, ococean.com).
Romantic rendezvous
While Ocean City is known as a family haven, it is also quite romantic. You just have to know where to look for love.
Stay at the Lighthouse Club Hotel at Fager's Island. Every suite in this three-story octagonal hotel on the Isle of Wight Bay offers views of the bay and wetlands. Don't miss out on dinner at neighboring Fager's Island restaurant. Although it's often hopping with lively entertainment and crowds, they celebrate sunset by playing the "1812 Overture." (60th St. and the Bay, 410-524-5400 or 410-524-5500, fagers.com).

Salmonella-tainted food seems to cropping up everywhere these days from peanut butter to bagged spinach from Fresh Express and now in Nesquik chocolate power that was manufactured in October and sold in stores until late last week.
Salmonella causes diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever, and symptoms can linger for up to a week. Often the infection resolves without any treatment beyond bed rest and hydration. It can, though, cause severe health problems in very young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.

Most of this portion of the covverage on ABC News focused on the Pentagon attack. Peter Jennings was able to establish contact with ABC's Pentagon correspondent.
As a side-note, I do not believe there is a more intense piece of video footage regarding the US Military which is more profound in our nation's history than images of the Pentagon burning out-of-control. Yet another unprecedented view on an unprecedented day.

We may have thought they'd be giving Brad and Angelina a run for their money, but it seems parents-of-four, Seal and Heidi Klum, have decided to call it a day.
"Four is definitely enough," singer Seal revealed to HELLO! magazine.
"I found myself thinking, before (Lou) was born: 'We've got three kids, how am I going to find any more love to give another kid?"
"Then, of course, she turned up and the first time I held her up in my arms at the hospital...I fell in love at that point."
Seal's supermodel wife was running some errands with her new little girl in tow this week.
Dressed in a fluffy pink blanket, little Lou was cute as a button as she joined mum at The Grove shopping centre in West Hollywood.

SALT LAKE CITY -- The Utah Jazz were a hurting bunch entering Wednesday night's game against the Phoenix Suns. Then they lost second-year big man Enes Kanter early to a dislocated shoulder.
The illness and injuries only seemed to be a rallying force, however, as they cruised to a 103-88 victory to stay within a game of the eighth-place Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference playoff battle.
Al Jefferson and Gordon Hayward scored 25 points to lead Utah (36-36), which used a 10-0 run to open the fourth quarter and led by as many as 19 while outscoring Phoenix 56-32 in the paint.
"To be honest, the game was for the playoffs, but when (Kanter) went down I had to step up even more," said Jefferson, still nursing a busted lip from a shot to the mouth in Monday's win. "We're going to fight for him to the end, make his injury worth something."
Jefferson wasn't the only one, though he finished 12 of 23 with nine rebounds, two blocks and two steals.
Derrick Favors grabbed 13 rebounds in 24 minutes for the Jazz, who held a 46-36 edge on the boards.
The Suns had pulled within 75-71 going into the fourth thanks to Wesley Johnson's 10-point third quarter, including a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
Utah held the Suns to 17 points in the fourth on 35 per cent shooting, while outrebounding Phoenix 17-7 to close out the game.
Johnson had a season-high 22 points and Luis Scola 20 to lead the Suns, who dropped their fourth straight.
With Phoenix out of the playoff picture, the Suns chose to rest leading scorer Goran Dragic, who was coming off a season-high 31-point, 12-assist effort in a 102-100 loss to Brooklyn on Sunday.
While the Suns left with another loss, Kanter departed the arena with a huge smile on his face despite the sling on his shoulder.
"Oh, I'll come back this year," Kanter vowed. "Yeah, I'll come back."
The injury was enough to make teammates cringe as they watched the 6-foot-11, 248-pound Kanter leave the court in obvious pain with 10:23 left in the second quarter after Suns' 7-2, 265-pound centre Hamed Haddadi fell on him as they battled over a loose ball.
Kanter was biting hard into his mouthpiece, supporting his left arm and stopped courtside, thinking about trying to pop the joint back into place. Team trainer Gary Briggs led him to the locker room shortly thereafter.
"I tried, but I couldn't' do it," Kanter said.
It was enough for Randy Foye to feel sick to his stomach. Then again, he already was from an illness that kept him up all night and in the bathroom, and unable to go through Wednesday's short morning workout.
"It was pretty gross," Foye said of Kanter's injury. "But he's a tough kid. I hope he has a speedy recovery."
Jefferson, who had 27 points combined the previous two games, said he's seen similar injuries that have kept players out two to four weeks. The Jazz have 10 games remaining over the next three weeks.
Kanter is averaging 7.3 points and 4.4 rebounds for Utah while playing with the second unit, but led the Jazz in scoring in Dallas last week with 17 points.
"Guys are beat up," said Jazz forward Marvin Williams, who played through right heel bursitis "Paul (Millsap) is a little sick, Randy's been sick, my heel's a little beat up, but ... we'll fight through it."
It helped that they didn't have to face Dragic.
"We're just kind of shutting him down," Suns interim coach Lindsey Hunter said before the game. "He's been playing a whole lot of minutes and we're going to give him a break periodically through these last couple of games. If you watched him come out of games, he's looked like he's been in a brawl."
The Suns have long been out of the playoff race, but they do have a vested interest in seeing the Jazz finish ahead of the Lakers for the eighth seed. If the Lakers miss the playoffs, the Suns get the Lakers' draft pick that is not lottery protected as part of the Steve Nash deal.
Utah opened the fourth just as it started the game, with hot shooting and a take-it-to-them attitude.
Jefferson scored on a layup, converted a three-point play and hit a midrange jumper and Alec Burks added a 3-pointer as the Jazz stretched their lead to 85-71 with 8:58 left.
"Little plays are what win you basketball games," said Williams, who kept a rebound alive during Utah's 19-5 fourth-quarter run. "When you can sneak in there and get another offensive possession or maybe dive on the ground for loose ball, those are things that will put you over the top."
NOTES: The Jazz on Wednesday signed former Marquette standout Jerel McNeal to a 10-day contract from the D-League's Bakersfield Jam. The 6-3 guard finished his college career as Marquette's all-time leader in scoring, steals and games played, but went undrafted in 2009. ... Former Jazz C Mehmet Okur attended Wednesday's game. ... Marshall made his first career start and opened 0 for 3 with a pair of first-half turnovers, but had nine assists in the first half. He finished with seven points and 13 assists. ... The Jazz scored a season-high 34 points in the first quarter.

Lumbar puncture
A lumbar puncture (LP), often called a spinal tap, is a procedure in which a small amount of the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, called the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), is removed and examined.
In infants and children, a lumbar puncture is typically done to look for meningitis, an infection of the meninges (the membrane covering the brain and spinal cord). Lumbar punctures also might be done to remove fluid and relieve pressure with certain types of headaches, to look for other diseases in the central nervous system, or to place chemotherapy medications into the spinal fluid.

|An old Chinese saying:
At the age of 40, the mind shows on the face. Every beautiful line on the face tells a story. This idea gives rise to the ancient art of Chinese facial diagnosis, which gives insight into the health of the entire body. Cultivating calmness, love, and gratitude are sure ways to maintain a fresh and youthful look and a balanced state of mind.
For centuries, the Asian approach to beautiful skin and hair relied on nature's own pharmacopoeia to produce results. Today, the simple and natural use of plant and herbal extracts continues to be the foundation of Asian-inspired beauty products.
The icon of Eastern philosophy, the circle of yin and yang, symbolizes the holistic approach to well-being, encompassing the body, mind, and spirit. When all three are in balance, a person is healthy on the inside and out.
"When the body is healthy, there is a fullness of energy, called qi, (pronounced 'chee') and blood; as the body ages the fullness declines, leading to dryness, wrinkles, and sagging skin, and dark, puffy, undereye circles," explains Robin Tiberi, DAOM (doctor of acupuncture and oriental medicine).
"The focus of Asian herbal medicine is to revitalize and bank qi and blood as a form of prevention," says Tiberi. "Specific ingredients that not only build qi, but also help improve wrinkles, vitalize the complexion, and lift the qi to the face are Panax ginseng and Radix astragali. Herbs that replenish the blood, such as longan and lycii, can also moisten and refresh the skin. Other ingredients that are usually included in secret herbal formulas are both powdered pearl and mother of pearl."
More Asian-Inspired Ingredients
Look for the following skin-nourishing nutrients in beauty products:
Peter Lamas includes a variety of Asian ingredients in his Lamas Beauty product line. "Unlike other herbs found in other parts of the world, I find Asian ingredients to be more medicinal than those that are just soothing, balancing, and hydrating, such as shea butter, aloe vera, and lavender," says Lamas. "The Asian ingredients truly act as antioxidants, which aid in elasticity and antiaging, and lend to the cell's protection."
Nourish and protect your skin with JASON Tea Time Anti-Aging Moisturizing Crème, which is enriched with green tea and ginseng root extract, as well as vitamins A, C, and E and essential oils to provide moisture retention.
Revitalize undernourished skin with Derma-e Ginseng and Ester-C Firming Crème. Ginseng works like a skin tonic to rejuvenate dull, tired skin, while vitamin C adds antioxidant protection and helps repair elastin and collagen fibers.
Refine your complexion with ZIA Skin Basics Bamboo Exfoliant with Rice Bran. Bamboo extract gently removes dead surface cells without overdrying or damaging skin, while rice bran oil stimulates cellular turnover, leaving skin smooth and radiant.
Indulge in the ritual of bathing, or what the Japanese call "mindful soaking," with EO Hinoki & Ginger Bath Salts. Hinoki essential oil is believed to calm tension, relieve stress, soothe skin irritations, and act as a decongestant. Ginger helps combat fatigue, colds and flu, muscle aches, and poor circulation.
Keep your skin youthfully supple with Lamas Beauty Chinese Herb Body Lotion. Its blend of age-old therapeutic Chinese herbs includes soy, which provides moisture-loss protection, and green tea, which neutralizes free radicals, preventing the erosion of skin's texture, firmness, color, and softness. Smooth it on and its silky feeling lasts all day.

Making the RAT
By Peter Buchanan-Smith
The Rapid All Terrain "RAT" boot, designed with — and commissioned by— the United States Marine Corps is made in the hundreds of thousands each year, some in a size 20, all of them made in the Danner boot factory in Portland OR. Among the many Danners I have proudly worn my RATs have become my go-to, a second skin: they are able to miraculously keep my sweaty feet cool, warm, dry, and comfortable, all at once, in most any condition.
Strolling the factory floor I peppered Casey Rakoczy, a gung-ho manufacturing engineer at Danner, with questions and grew impressed by the technologies that go into making each Danner boot: the latest, the oldest, and always the best. I watched in awe as the Gore-tex® lining of every single boot on the line was inflated like a balloon and submersed in a tank of water where someone would inspect it (by eye) for leaks. It was my interpretation that the people behind these machines were energized. Making such a good product should give its makers purpose, and this notion was on proud display last week at one thriving boot company in the USA.

Billionaire Ken Fisher Is Increasing His Position In These Stocks
Gayatri is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Fisher Investments is a Woodside, California-based investment advisory and hedge fund management firm founded by billionaire Ken Fisher. The firm recently filed its 13F form for the quarter ended Sept. 30. I discussed the firm's new buys in a previous article, but in addition to new buys, it is also interesting to have a look at the stocks in which Fisher Investment is increasing its positions. The following is a list of three top stocks in which Fisher Investments increased its position.
Here's a look at these stocks in detail.
Taiwan Semiconductor
Goldman Sachs recently upgraded Taiwan Semiconductors to Conviction Buy. According to its analysts, market share and scale are becoming increasingly important in advanced semiconductor markets, and Intel, Samsung and Taiwan Semiconductor are the only three major players left in this market. TSMC is likely to gain market share with its industry-leading capex. The company will also benefit from conflict of interest between Apple and Samsung. Apple is likely to move its AP wafers purchases from Samsung LSI to Taiwan Semiconductor. In addition to upside from new business from Apple, the company will also benefit from its ARM CPU and 3D packaging business. The stock is trading at 15x its forward earnings, which I don't believe is costly given these growth drivers.
Cisco is trading at a forward P/E of 8.09. Its expected EPS for the current year is 1.94, and next year it's 2.08, and the company is expected to post top line growth of 5.80% in the next two years. Cisco is an interesting capital return story. Cisco announced its commitment to return minimum 50% future FCF to shareholders in August. Cisco currently has ~12% FCF yield and a 3% dividend yield. Although the company is seeing some weakness from slowing macros due to its global exposure, it is making efforts to increase its recurring software and services revenue streams, which are more macro resilient.
Cisco is also well-placed to benefit from growth in data center with its switching and UCS server products. The company's expected growth rate of 5-6% and 60% gross margin makes it a good buy. The company has $2.66 in cash per share and its P/E ratio is less than the large cap tech average. At these low valuations, I believe macro slowdown concerns are already priced into the stock. Hence, I believe the company is a good buy.
Pfizer recently got approval of the 5 mg dose of its drug Tofacitinib (Xeljanz). The drug is likely to be a blockbuster and bring in over $1 billion annual revenues at its peak. Going forward, the company's drugs Eliquis and Prevnar -13 are lined up for approval in the first half of next year, and these new launches should help drive the company's top line. Pfizer is trading at an attractive valuation of just 10.46x, which is a discount to the large cap pharma average, and the company has a dividend yield of 3.60%. I believe the stock is currently a good buy for value investors.
To sum up, Taiwan Semiconductor's market share prospects makes it a good buy, while Cisco's new product launches and capital return potential makes it interesting. Pfizer is also a good buy given its compelling valuations and strong drug pipeline.

Product Profile
Carman Vibrating Bin Dischargers eliminate hopper flow problems including Bridging and Ratholing by using vibratory action to improve bin flow and easily discharge virtually any material.
Individually engineered for each application, the unique design of the Carman Vibrating Bin Discharger allows easy installation with the ruggedness to stay on-line.
To ensure proper application, Carman engineers carefully analyze the flow properties of your product or raw material in our laboratory or with rental equipment in your facility. Performance of a Carman Vibrating Bin Discharger is guaranteed.
Bin Flow Problems
Carman Vibrating Bin Dischargers offer proven performance advantages including elimination of these common bin flow problems:
A no-flow condition in which the pressure of the stored material on itself results in a "bridge" or "arch" formation in the bin or the hopper section of the bin.
A condition in which the stored material does not slough into the central flow stream for discharge and instead forms a core. Problems associated with ratholing include flooding, substantial variation of density in product, and eventually, no-flow.
Carman Bin Discharging Solutions
A properly sized Carman Vibrating Bin Discharger can economically eliminate bridging and ratholing. Installed on a bin, a Carman Vibrating Bin Discharger increases the size of the hopper outlet and reduces the effective depth of the hopper.
Eliminate Bridging and Ratholing
A Carman Vibrating Bin Discharger increases the effective hopper outlet size and reduces the hopper depth which reduces pressure against the hopper walls.
Maximize Hopper Volume
With identical elevations and bin diameters, a 60 degree bin with a 5 foot Carman Vibrating Bin Discharger provides 130% more hopper volume than a 70 degree mass flow bin design.

The ability to engage Launch Control might be worth the extra cost simply for sheer entertainment factor. Engaging Sport Plus at a dead stop, you stand on the brake pedal with your left foot while revving to redline with your right. Dump the brakes, and the car explodesyeah, I said itoff the line with hysterical force. We first experienced Launch Control in the all-wheel-drive 911 C4 and Turbo models, but the purely rear-drive GTS seems just as willing to hook up with little, if any, wheelspin involved. And the thing will do it all day long. Launch until your knees turn watery, panic brake to a halt, do it all over again. It never gets old.
But better still, the Carrera GTS is undeniably Porsche 911 in all phases of driving. Sharp, well-weighted and communicative steering; a taut ride that inspires essentially flat cornering; and an altogether ergonomically sound operational experience that defines all 911 models; easily modulated brakes that can stand up to incredible punishment; all combined with an even more tractable engine that offers adequate forward thrust at just about any engine speed make the 911 GTS
Well, what the hell can you say? It's suitably awesome. You basically never want to shut it off and leave your seatuntil a German communications rep threatens you with bodily harm.
So we didn't. I was just griping about the arrow-straight highway run back to Palm Springs when my co-driver turned to me. We should go back up Montezuma, he said with a grin. I'm cool with it if you are. I was, and we did.
So while we wait

This is a rare cast Bronze plaque by the Metallic Compression Casting co. of Boston Ma.This co. was the 1st to make bronze hardware for buildings. Some of their door knobs have sold for over $4000.00.They started in the 1870's. I believe this plaque is from the 1870's or 80's. The quality is fantastic with very crisp detail. I presume this was some form of show piece or a advertising piece. Condition is excellent with a nice deep brown patina.Size is 11 by 8 3/4 inches
