Pasta For Dessert? Chocolate Pasta? Of Course—Just Hold The Parmesan!
If you love pasta, and you love dessert, what could be better than combining the two? If "dessert pasta" sounds like a strange concept, remember that sweet noodle puddings combining flat noodles, sweetened cottage cheese, raisins and cinnamon have been a mainstay in Eastern European cooking since the 17th century, when sugar became available—to the affluent. Thankfully, sugar is affordable to all today, so enjoy these recipes for:
Dessert Lasagna
This fruit lasagna recipe won third prize in a contest held by the National Pasta Association and the Culinary Institute of America.

Chocolate Fettuccini Mont Blanc
The dessert is named after the highest mountain in the Alps (and all of Western Europe). It lies between the regions of Haute-Savoie, France and Aosta Valley, Italy (where it is called Monte Bianco). The classic recipe tops chestnut purée with whipped cream. Here, we add a nest of fettuccine as well. Serves 8-10.
Chocolate Dessert Pasta (Fettuccini With Chocolate Sauce)
From the Pasta and Noodles cookbook by Merry White:
Fettuccini Alfredo with Crème Anglaise (Light Custard Sauce)
The crème anglaise recipe is from Mastering The Art of French Cooking, by Julia Child, Louisette Bertholle and Simone Beck, published by Alfred A. Knopf. Serves 4.
For the crème anglaise:
To serve hot: Keep the sauce over warm but not hot water. If you wish, beat in 1 to 2 tablespoon of unsalted butter just before serving.
To serve cold: Set the saucepan in a pan of cold water, and stir frequently until cool. Then cover and chill.
Prepare fettuccine according to package directions, substituting sugar for the salt. Serve hot or allow to cool. Top with sauce and shaved white, milk or dark chocolate.

Republican efforts to limit the power of the Environmental Protection Agency during this year's budget debate have helped cement the environment as a partisan issue for the 2012 elections. Here's a look at where some of the potential Republican White House contenders stand on environmental issues.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich
As speaker, Gingrich tried unsuccessfully to roll back several environmental laws that were passed during 1970s and championed the stance that environmental regulations have gone too far in restricting energy and economic growth.
During a recent speech at Salem State University in Massachusetts, Gingrich criticized Obama for supporting offshore drilling in Brazil while hindering American companies drilling in the United States. Gingrich stressed the need to use the maximum amount of American oil, natural gas, coal, and biofuel.
In recent years, Gingrich has urged conservatives not to leave the cause of environmentalism entirely to liberals, though he has called a federal tax on carbon "utterly irrational" and stated that there is no conclusive proof that humans are at the center of global warming. In 2008, Gingrich filmed an ad with then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., for Al Gore's Alliance for Climate Protection urging action on climate change. Gingrich has since tried to distance himself from the ad.

DELAND, Fla. (Feb. 6, 2011) -- On Super Bowl Sunday, the ETSU men's basketball team will hope to sustain its drive toward an Atlantic Sun Conference championship, as the Buccaneers take on A-Sun foe Stetson at 3 p.m. inside the Edmunds Center.
The Bucs, 17-8 overall, 12-2 in league play, enjoyed a win over the Hatters earlier this season inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center and have won 13 of their last 14 games . The team is coming off a 66-59 road win over FGCU on Friday night.
For more on Sunday's game, click on the game notes link above or read the game notes located below. For more on ETSU men's basketball throughout the season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.
We are "ETSU"
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
Buc bits
The ETSU men's basketball team only added to its rich history of success during the 2009-10 season, capturing its second straight Atlantic Sun Conference Championship and earning the program's ninth trip all-time to the NCAA Tournament ... Posting the program's fourth 20-win season in the past seven years, the Bucs overcame multiple challenges during the season before dropping Mercer in the A-Sun finals.
The series versus Stetson
The Bucs are 10-5 all-time against the Hatters ... However, ETSU and Stetson split two games in 2009-10, with each team winning on the road ... This season, ETSU won the first meeting between the two teams 62-42 in Johnson City.
Last time against Stetson
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 10, 2011) - By producing a 19-0 offensive run midway through the first half and holding Stetson to just 42 points for the game, the ETSU men's basketball team picked up its sixth straight victory with a 62-42 Atlantic Sun Conference win over the Hatters inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. ... The 42 points allowed matched the 2000-01 Buccaneers, who held Lynchburg to just 42 in a 65-42 victory 10 years ago. Against Division I opponents, it was the lowest point total for an ETSU opponent since 1997-98, when Coastal Carolina scored just 41 against the Bucs. ... On the offensive end, senior guards Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) and Micah Williams (Manchester) were the difference, posting 23 and 19 points, respectively. ... The Bucs initially got off to a slow start, as the Hatters for the third straight year attempted to slow the game down and get ETSU out of its running and gunning style. It worked until the 8:19 mark, when Stetson went up by three at 14-11 thanks to a pair of free throws from Aaron Graham. ... At that point, the Bucs manufactured a 19-0 offensive run and built a lead of 30-14. During that stretch, ETSU held the Hatters scoreless until a 3-pointer from Aaron Graham with 30 seconds left in the half made it 30-17. The 17 points for Stetson in the first half matched the lowest point total of the season for an ETSU opponent, as Milligan only managed 17 as well. ... In the second half, Stetson pulled to within nine at 34-25, but from there the Bucs methodically built their lead to as many as 21 points at 54-33 with just under five minutes left in the game.
Last time out
FORT MYERS, Fla. (Feb. 4, 2011) - Senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) scored 14 of his team-high 16 points in the second half and the ETSU men's basketball team overcame some uncharacteristic offensive droughts to drop Atlantic Sun Conference foe Florida Gulf Coast 66-59 Friday evening inside Alico Arena. ... With the win, the Buccaneers stay one game back of Belmont in the league race, improving to 17-8 overall, 12-2 in A-Sun play. Meanwhile, the Eagles dropped to 5-16, 2-10. ... In a matchup of two of the Atlantic Sun Conference's large, public institutions, the Bucs endured two stretches of offensive futility - one for eight minutes in the first half and another five-minute stretch in the second half. But on the defensive end, the Bucs forced 20 turnovers and cashed those in for a 26-12 advantage in points off turnovers. ... Along with Smith, fellow senior guard Micah Williams (Manchester) scored 15 points to lead the ETSU attack. ... In the first half, ETSU raced out of the gates with a 12-1 run over the first four minutes of play. However, at that point the Bucs went cold from the field, not scoring for the next eight minutes of game time and allowing FGCU to take a 17-16 lead on Kevin Cantinol's dunk with 6:56 left in the half. ... The Bucs regrouped from there and regained the advantage, ultimately leading 30-23 at the break. ... In the second half, Smith found his rhythm offensively after scoring just two points in the first half. He netted 11 of the Bucs first 21 points of the second half and helped his team to a 51-34 advantage with 12:04 left in the game. ... However, for the second time in the game, ETSU went into an offensive funk and scored just two points over a five-minute period. This allowed the Eagles to cut into the ETSU lead and go on a 14-2 run to make it 53-48 with 6:54 left in the contest. ... From there, a 3-pointer from the left wing by Smith and a pair of free throws from Sollazzo made it 60-51, and ETSU went on to go up by as many as 11 with just over two minutes left. While FGCU was able to whittle away at the lead a bit in the final minutes, but finished seven points back at 66-59.
Williams eclipses 1,000; Smith moving up scoring list
While senior Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) was already a member of the 1,000-point club, fellow senior Micah Williams (Manchester) joined his roommate on the list against Kennesaw State (1/29) ... With a 3-pointer from the left wing at the 17:55 mark of the second half, Williams went over 1,000 for his career, becoming the 33rd ETSU player all-time to reach that number ... Meanwhile, Smith joined another select group by eclipsing 1,500 points for his career in the win over USC Upstate (1/25) ... Below is where both players stand in the all-time scoring list:
Name Place Points
Mike Smith No. 8 1,584
Micah Williams No. 33 1,046
Smith wins his third A-Sun POTW honor this season
For the third time this season, ETSU senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) has been named the Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Week, the league office announced Tuesday. ... Smith became the first A-Sun player to win the weekly honor three times in a season since Mercer's James Florence accomplished that feat during the 2008-09 campaign. Last week, Smith powered the Buccaneers to a perfect 3-0 record, eclipsing 20 points in each of those victories. ... Along the way, Smith twice set new career highs for scoring in a game, netting 27 points in the win over Kennesaw State (1/29) and then posting 28 points in the win over Mercer (1/31). In addition, Smith surpassed the 1,500-point mark in the Bucs' win over USC Upstate (1/25), as the 6-foot-6 guard scored 22 points. ... In all, Smith averaged 25.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game last week. He shot an impressive 58 percent from 3-point range, 56 percent from the field, and 91 percent at the foul line in those three wins.
Sollazzo rolling in last 15 games for ETSU
Junior guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) has really found his rhythm in the last 15 games, leading the team with 4.3 assists per game, and ranking third on the team with 12.3 points per game ... He has netted double figures in 10 of those 15 games ... In those contests, Sollazzo is shooting an impressive 63-of-104 from the field for a 61 percent clip ... he is also averaging 2.9 rpg in this stretch ... The Bucs are 13-2 in this span.
Smith's 20/20 vision leads Bucs over FGCU
With his 20-point and 20-rebound effort against Florida Gulf Coast on Jan. 8, 2011, senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) made history ... According to the statistics available to the ETSU media relations office, Smith was the first Buccaneer since Feb. 14, 1959 to post a 20/20 effort ... The last was Buc great Tom Chilton, who scored 35 points and grabbed 25 rebounds in a win over Wofford during the 1959 season. ... In addition, Smith is only the third player nationally to achieve that mark this season.
Bartow gets wins No. 250 overall and 150 at ETSU;
ranks among best coaches in last five years
With his team's win over Florida Gulf Coast on Jan. 8, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow picked up his 250th career victory ... He then collected his 150th win at ETSU when the Bucs downed Jacksonville on Jan. 15 ... When looking at coaches across the country, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow stands among a select group ... Of those coaches that have been at their current school for at least five years, only 24 have averaged better than 20 wins a season ... That list includes coaches such as Dayton's Brian Gregory, Syracuse's Jim Boeheim, UConn's Jim Calhoun, Florida's Billy Donovan, Michigan State's Tom Izzo, Duke's Mike Kryzewski, Louisville's Rick Pitino, Kansas' Bill Self, Maryland's Gary Williams and North Carolina's Roy Williams ... The list also includes Bartow, who is average 20.2 wins a year since 2005-06.
Bucs help bolster A-Sun to strong RPI standings
With a pair of signature wins already this season, the ETSU men's basketball team - along with other members of the Atlantic Sun Conference - is doing its part to put the league in some impressive company on the national hoops stage. ... With wins over Atlantic 10 Conference stalwart Dayton and Southeastern Conference West Division favorite Mississippi State, the Buccaneers have helped the A-Sun generate plenty of waves across the board in the national RPI rankings. As a result, one month into the 2010-11 NCAA men's basketball season, the Atlantic Sun Conference is ranked ahead of other mid-major leagues including the Southern, Ohio Valley, Big South, West Coast, Mid-American, WAC and Sun Belt. ... The A-Sun remains among the top half of the conferences in the country. CollegeRPI.com ranks the A-Sun 14th, immediately behind the Horizon, Conference USA and Missouri Valley, and ahead of the conferences mentioned above. Against the Southern, Big South, Sun Belt and Ohio Valley conferences, the A-Sun owns a 15-8 mark. ... The conference has more than held its own against the BCS conferences. With ETSU's win at Mississippi State, the conference grabbed its fifth win against the "Power-6" leagues. No conference eligible for consideration for the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 poll owns as many BCS wins as the A-Sun. The five wins represent the most for the league since 2007-08.
Home Sweet Dome
Since the 1996-97 season, the Buccaneers are an amazing 147-46 inside Memorial Center, good for a winning percentage of 76 percent ... The Bucs had won five straight at Memorial Center during the 2006-07 season before a loss to Belmont (1/2) ... The Bucs then rattled off 10 straight at home to stand at 15-1 on the Memorial Center floor that season ... In 2007-08, the Bucs were 11-2 at Memorial Center ... In 2008-09, the Bucs were again 11-2 at home, and last year the team dropped off to a 9-5 clip at the Dome ... This season, the Bucs are 7-1at home.

Comments On Sep 19, 2014:It does exactly what it says on the packaging. It's a magnet that sticks to the end of your oil filter. It collects bits of ferromagnetic materials suspended in the oil that the filter cannot collect. Because it magnetizes the end of the filter it's stuck on, it can attract a surprising amount of material. My bike has a stock magnetic drain plug, and this magnetic "washer" still picks up enough that it needs a good cleaning every oil change.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by BlueBird Great Summer Jacket The jacket fit great and is cool and comforable. Just the right length for me. the only reason no 5 rating; it was somewhat wrinkled when it arrived. Hanging it up helped - have not washed it yet so don't know if it will wrinkle easy and need ironed. June 11, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Shirley Kas Blazers are hard to find. I have looked EVERYWHERE for a blazer with 3/4 sleeves and not lined (since I live in Florida). When I found the turquoise blazer in your last catalog I immediately ordered it. It was perfect. After wearing it one day, I washed it to be sure it did not shrink. I was a little nervous since it has rayon in it. It washed PERFECT. I immediately ordered 2 more (black and beige). April 16, 2014

Rated 1 out of 5Â by TGH Disappointed I ordered 2 jackets. I have 2 of them that I ordered @2 years ago and I love them. These are cut smaller in the same size and they are shorter by @2 inches. I will be returning them next week. Similar experience with the latest velour popover robes I ordered. Fabric is not as nice as fabric of my others from a few years ago that I ordered from you, but I kept them because they are a little lighter weight and I can still use them, but also disappointed in them...esp. for the price.

Magnificence Everywhere
Light-Producing Sea Dwellers
Many undersea creatures have systems, like fireflies, through which they can produce light. Generally, they use this ability in order to confuse or scare their enemies. Comb jellies are delicate creatures just like jellyfish and sea anemones. They generally feed on microscopic plants and tiny sea animals. Some catch their prey using their sticky tentacles which move in the water like fishing lines. Other varieties have very wide mouths that can swallow many creatures, including other comb jellies. Comb jellies have tiny hairs on their bodies which they use to move forward in the water. In addition, nearly all comb jellies have special light-producing cells along the seam-like ridges of their bodies. Some species have their own interesting characteristics. For example, the red comb jelly flashes when it is touched. At the same time it pours sparkling luminous particles into the water as a protective method to repel its enemies.12
Creatures like starfish, sea urchins, and featherstars are called "echinoderms." Most of the surface of their skins is covered with sharp spikes which they use for self-defense. They live on the seashore among coral reefs and on the sea bed. These creatures produce their own light to protect themselves from their enemies. They may have luminous arms or spines or be able to pour clouds of light into the water when attacked by a predator.
As seen above, the light-producing mechanisms of creatures, too, are examples of the magnificence in Allah's creation. Allah is the Originator, the Incomparable.
They say: "(Allah) hath begotten a son" :Glory be to Him.-Nay, to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth: everything renders worship to Him. (Surah Al-Baqara, 116)
To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth: When He decreeth a matter, He saith to it: "Be," and it is. (Surah Al-Baqara, 117)
Design in Dolphins
For dolphins, breathing is not a reflex, as it is for humans and other land mammals, but rather a voluntary movement.14 In other words, dolphins decide to breathe like we decide to walk. There is also a precaution taken in order to prevent the animal's being drowned while sleeping in water. While sleeping, the dolphin uses the right and left hemisphere of his brain in turn, at approximately 15-minute intervals. While one cerebral hemisphere sleeps, the dolphin uses the other to come to the surface for air.
Dolphins breathe using their lungs just like other mammals, which means they cannot breathe in the water like fish. For this reason, they routinely come up to the water's surface to breathe. On the top of their heads is a hole enabling them to do just that. The bodies of dolphins have such a perfect design that, when it dives into the water, this hole is automatically closed by a cap, thus preventing water from leaking into the dolphin's body. When the animal comes up to the water's surface, the cap then reopens.
The snout of the dolphin's beak is another design facilitating the movements of the animal through water. By means of this structure, the animal uses less energy in cutting through the water and swimming at higher speeds. Modern ships, too, make use of a bow like the dolphin's snout, hydrodynamically designed to increase the speed of ships just like dolphins.
In addition, dolphins can swim at such great speeds that they dazzle scientists. There is a smooth flow of water around the bodies of dolphins. Research carried out on the skin of dolphins has discovered the reason for this flow. The skin of a dolphin consists of three layers. The outer layer is thin and very elastic. The middle layer is mostly composed of connective tissue and it has appendages looking like a plastic brush which anchor the outer layer to the middle layer. The third, inner, layer consists of bundles of elastic fibers. Therefore, when turbulence begins to form in the water around the speedily swimming dolphin, the outer skin transmits the extreme pressure caused by this turbulence to the inner layers and they absorb it. Thus, the turbulence that was beginning to develop disappears before it was able to grow.15
All of these structures, ones exclusive only to dolphins among all other animals, are clear evience of an intelligent design. Allah has created dolphins, like all other creatures, with their body structures in conformity with their surroundings.
An Interesting Undersea Creature: The Nudibranch
The nudibranch, a type of marine slug species lacking a shell, has a very interesting design and marvelous, bright colors. Their bodies are rather soft. Although they don't have a shell to protect themselves, and many creatures find their appearance attractive, only a few feed on nudibranches. This is because their striking colors warn predators that they are very poisonous.
One striking characteristic of this sea slug is that it has "stinging cells." By means of these "stinging cells," nudibranches easily protect themselves against their enemies. What is more interesting is that they don't produce these cells themselves. Nudibranches feed on creatures called hyroids that contain stinging cells. But they can eat these creatures' tentacles without triggering their stinging cells thanks to a special mucus in their digestive system. They store these weapons in frilly projections of their bodies. When disturbed the cells fire, thus stinging potential predators.16
Without a doubt, it is not possible for a nudibranch to know that hyroids are poisonous but will not harm them and will, on the contrary, provide them with protection against their enemies. It is also not possible for it to learn such a thing by experiencing it. How then did nudibranches discover this fascinating protective method?
At this point, a truth that reveals itself openly in the universe appears once again before us. The One Who inspired nudibranches to attract attention both with their pattern and color diversity, Who also supplied them with their methods to obtain poison, and created a system in their bodies by which to render the poison of hyroids ineffective, is Allah, the Lord of the entire universe. Allah creates all creatures with very different characteristics and in various colors. What befalls man who sees the infinite power of Allah in such examples is to glorify Allah and to practice good morals for the pleasure of Allah only. Allah informs us in His verses as follows:
And mankind and beasts and livestock are likewise of varying colors. Only those of His servants with knowledge have fear of Allah. Allah is Almighty, Ever-Forgiving. (Surah Fatir: 28)
The Parrot Fish's Sleeping Bags
The parrot fish covers its body, particularly at night, with a gelatin-like substance. Let's have a look at how this substance is produced and utilized. Parrot fish produce this substance in order to protect themselves at night against outside effects. This substance protects the fish against nocturnal hunters. In addition, it enables the fish to camouflage itself.
First, this gelatinous mucus is secreted in glands that are located at the upper edge of the gill cavity, while the fish breathes. After a while, this gelatin-like covering envelops the fish's whole body. The most essential function of this transparent sleeping bag is to protect the fish against moray eels, which are among the greatest enemies of parrot fish. Moray eels have an extraordinarily sensitive sense of smell, and they find their prey using this skill. However, owing to this protective sheath, morays cannot pick up the scent of this fish, and do not notice it even if they strike it while passing beside it.17
Considering this remarkable mechanism, one must wonder, how did the parrot fish ever come by this protective sheath they use at night? How could they discover such an important material which interferes with the morays' sharp sense of smell and enables them to spend the night in protected comfort?
It is inconceivable to expect a fish to think up and plan to produce a substance in its body and then cover its body with this substance. In addition, it is not possible either for such a formation to have come into existence on its own over time. If a parrot fish cannot plan to produce such a substance with its own intelligence and form such a system in its body by means of its own will, a parrot fish that lived 10,000 years ago would not have been able to do these things either.
A fish's body's being covered with gelatin in order to camouflage it from its enemy in an appropriate way is a very skillful thing. It is obvious that such a feature can come into being only as a result of an intelligent design. This intelligence belongs not to a fish or any other creature but to Allah, Who has created and fashioned all of this.
That is Allah, your Lord! there is no god but He, the Creator of all things: then worship ye Him: and He hath power to dispose of all affairs. No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision: He is above all comprehension, yet is acquainted with all things. (Surah Al-An'am 102-103)
The Scorpion Fish's Camouflage
Have a look at the scorpion fish in the picture. You will notice right away how difficult it is for the eye to visually discriminate them from their surroundings.
Scorpion fish live mainly on the sea floor in temperate or tropical zones and never venture out into the open sea. They are carnivorous and feed on smaller fish. Their long, fan-shaped fins are an excellent deterrent to the fish's enemies, and its red-and-white stripes make it difficult for their prey to see them among the corals. The scorpion fish has a very colorful appearance. But since the corals it lives in are also very colorful, it easily hides among them. It decreases its chances of being a prey. It also allows it to get close to its own prey easily.18
It is very difficult to distinguish most undersea creatures, like scorpion fish, from the environment in which they live. The presence of these creatures becomes clear only when they move. These creatures which camouflage themselves under the sea in a perfect way also use their colors to hunt, reproduce and send messages. How, then, did this harmony originate? Who has made the body of a fish the same color as the rock where it lives and even given it the same protuberant appearance as the rock? And who has given a shrimp the colors of sea plants? It is impossible for any chemical processes occurring by chance or any other factor to give these creatures the color of the environment they live in.
It is also impossible for a fish, shrimp or crab to be aware of the concept of color and to produce systems that make color changes in themselves. Such a thought cannot go beyond mere imagination. Designing such a system, placing this system into creatures, making arrangements in genes to make it possible to transfer it from generation to generation, and coding all the information in the cells of creatures can be done only by the owner of a superior power.
The Owner of this superior power is Allah. Allah created all creatures together with the traits they possess. Allah draws our attention to this fact in the following verse:
Does He not know those whom He created? He is the All-Pervading, the All-Aware. It is He who made the earth submissive to you, so walk its broad trails and eat what it provides. The Resurrection is to Him. (Surat al-Mulk: 14-15)

En español | If you're like most Americans, you're fighting a rising tide of health care costs. To make matters worse, the continuing battle over health care reform is ratcheting up the tension higher than ever.
Sign up for AARP's Money Newsletter.
However, health savings accounts (HSAs) let you pay for health care and save money at the same time, by lowering your taxes.
Here are nine questions answered about HSAs.
1. What is an HSA?
It's a federally approved account designed to help you save for qualified medical expenses on a tax-free basis.
2. How does it lower my health care costs?
It reduces your federal income and FICA tax, and possibly your state tax, too. Whatever you deposit into the account up to tax deadline day in April becomes an "above the line" tax deduction for your previous year's tax return. That means you get the deduction even if you take the standard deduction on your tax return and don't itemize.
If your employer makes a contribution to your HSA, that money is also not counted as income for you and is not subject to income or FICA tax.
3. How do I set up and use an HSA?
- First you purchase a low-cost, high-deductible health insurance policy available through a growing number of providers. The policy must be one that's been approved for the HSA program.
- Then you open a dedicated savings account in which you make the tax-deductible deposits to pay for your medical care. Each year, you may deposit up to the amount of the deductible on your insurance policy.
- You're now set to use the money to pay for your medical care. Once your expenses reach the deductible's level — if they do — the insurance policy kicks in to begin paying benefits.
- You choose your own doctors. You may spend HSA funds on qualified medical expenses at any time — the list of those expenses is extensive and can be found on the policy. However, as of early 2011 over-the-counter medications cannot be bought with HSA dollars without a doctor's prescription.
4. Is there a limit on how much I can deposit?
Yes. It depends on such things as type of policy and number of days you were eligible during a year. But the absolute maximums are $3,050 a year for individuals and $6,150 for families. These numbers are subject to change each year.
People older than 55 are eligible to deposit an additional $1,000 under what is called the "catch-up" rule. The idea is to allow more money for medical care as a person ages.
Next: Funds in an HSA account can roll over if not spent. >>

Deep Space Chronicle: A Chronology of Deep Space and Planetary Probes 1958-2000, Monographs in Aerospace History No. 24, by Asif A. Siddiqi
National Space Science Data Center, http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/
The probe, designed to accomplish atmospheric entry into Venus, successfully reached Earth orbit but failed to leave for Venus when the Blok L upper stage malfunctioned. The upper stage evidently lost stable attitude due to a failure in the circuit of the power supply for the attitude-control system.
The spacecraft burned up in Earth's atmosphere the following day. Had this mission been successful, it would probably have been given a Zond designation.
