Craggy mountain backdrops, time-weathered monasteries, stunning lake panoramas, hearty national cuisine – Macedonia has only one missing ingredient from the standard Europe recipe. And happily, that happens to be crowds. Landlocked into relative obscurity in a region worshipped for its coast, Macedonia's tract of the Balkans is often overlooked. Yet for those looking to venture beyond the Adriatic and Aegean, Macedonia's rugged interior contains rewards aplenty. Excellent hiking can be had in the mountain forests, Lake Ohrid's waters rival the clarity of Croatia's and 500 years of Ottoman rule can be acutely felt in the capital's bazaars. And to round it all out, the locals will be delighted to have you.

Best time to visit Macedonia
Macedonia has a climate somewhere between a transitional continental and Mediterranean climate, which can vary greatly between seasons and regions. The country's mountainous areas can be subjected to brutally cold winters (December to February), while the lower lying areas can reach 40° C during summer (June to September). Between May and September is the best time to visit, unless you're into skiing.
History and government
Early History
Even by Balkan standards, Macedonia's history is characterised by complexity and controversy. Going back to the days of Alexander the Great (the country's favourite son), Macedonia has been pin-balled between external powers, from the Romans to the Byzantines, the Serbs to the Ottoman Turks, the Bulgarians to the Greeks. In fact, it wasn't until 1991 that the country officially attained its status as an independent nation – and even that remains a point of contention in certain circles.
From the sixth century AD until the fourteenth, the territory was wrestled to-and-fro between the Byzantines, Slavs, Bulgars and Serbs before eventually falling to the Ottoman Empire in 1371. The country remained under Turkish rule until the empire's decline in the eighteenth century, then was once again split up but this time between Greece, Bulgaria and Serbia. Various pushes for independence and 'reunion' with Bulgaria were then stymied by the two World Wars and the advent of communism.
Recent History
At the conclusion of World War II, the country was incorporated into the Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia under the leadership of Tito – an era during which, by and large, the territory prospered. With the collapse of European communism, however, came new calls for Macedonian independence, and the state peacefully ceded from the republic in 1992.
Wary of 'Macedonia' being used as the country's proposed name due to implied claims to Aegean Macedonia, Greece made its objections known and the compromise 'The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia' was eventually arrived at. Greek ire was re-aroused in 1994, culminating in its enforcement of an economic embargo that was eventually lifted upon Macedonia's changing of its flag and agreeing to discussions about its name. The country evaded being embroiled in the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s, but experienced a potentially catastrophic civil conflict from 1997-2001 over tensions with its sizeable Albanian population. Hostilities were becalmed with a NATO ceasefire, but the Albanian-Macedonian relationship is still a touchy subject that's best avoided. The same goes for Macedonian-Greek relations due to the still unresolved 'naming issue'. And also Macedonian-Bulgarian relations for that matter.
Top Picks
Top 5 Macedonian Festivals
1. The Galičnik Wedding Festival
Back in the good old days, the villagers of Galičnik had only one day each year where Macedonian couples could get married: 12th July. These days, starry-eyed lovers can take their vows on whichever day they please, but for one lucky couple a traditional wedding ceremony is still a possibility. Held on the weekend closest to the 12th July, the Galičnik Wedding Festival commemorates the custom with dances, elaborate dress and a horse bridle being placed on the bride as a test of her obedience. Any Macedonian couple that has already been married in a civil service can apply for the role of official couple, with the winning entrant generally being the one with the prettiest bride.
2. Tikveski Grozdober (Grape Carnival)
Each September, Kavadarci, a small town in Macedonia's seriously scenic wine-growing region, plays host to the Tikveški Grozdober festival. A celebration of both the town's liberation and the beginning of the grape harvest, the festival swells with food stalls and music concerts and culminates in an extravagantly costumed carnival procession through the town's main streets. Oh, and much wine drinking.
3. Ilinden National Festival of Song and Dance
The oldest folk festival in the country, the Ilinden Days, is a celebration of all the folk cultural edifices that have come to represent Macedonian identity over the years. Folk songs and dancing take centre stage here, all performed in traditional garb with traditional instruments. Held over four days, it provides a fascinating insight into traditional Macedonian culture, as well as serving to preserve its history.
4. Pivo Fest Prilep Beer Fest
Macedonia's breweries aren't as prolific as its wineries, but beer is still a pretty big player in national culture and deemed worthy a festival. The first Pivo Fest Prilep was held in 2003 and, in contrast to many of the country's other tradition-orientated festivals, the focus here is on live music, grilled meats, skimpy attire and ales abundant. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's now one of the most popular summer events in the country.
5. Carnival Procka
Kicking off three days before the Easter fast begins, the Procka Carnival, which is also held in Prilep, is a celebration of the unconditional forgiveness demonstrated by Jesus for his fellow humans. During this brief holiday, the young ask for forgiveness from their elders, who reply by saying 'you are forgiven from me and from God.' If this all sounds a bit sombre (not to mention presumptuous), there's also great feasting opportunities in preparation for the fasting ahead and things are livened up with parades of highly decorative 'anything goes' costumes.

Macedonia Travel Tips
Intrepid is committed to travelling in a way that is respectful of local people, their culture, local economies and the environment. It's important to remember that what may be acceptable behaviour, dress and language in your own country, may not be appropriate in another. Please keep this in mind while travelling.
Top responsible travel tips for Macedonia
1. Be considerate of Macedonia's customs, traditions, religion and culture. Avoid expressing opinions about the country's relations with Greece, Bulgaria or its significant Albanian population.
2. Dress modestly and respectfully when entering places of worship. Shoulders to knees should be covered and shoes removed.
3. For environmental reasons, try to avoid buying bottled water. Fill a reusable water bottle or canteen with filtered water.
4. Always dispose of litter thoughtfully, including cigarette butts.
5. Learn some local language and don't be afraid to use it - simple greetings will help break the ice.
6. Shop for locally made products. Supporting local artisans helps keep traditional crafts alive and supports the local community.
7. Refrain from supporting businesses that exploit or abuse endangered animals.
8. Please ask and receive permission before taking photos of people, including children.

Charles M. Curry, Professor of English and Literature authored The Alma Mater. It was originally entitled, "Indiana's Normal" and first printed in a June 1912 issue of the Normal Advance.
In 1899, it was announced that Yale Blue and White would replace the colors of Salmon Pink and White. The colors are also applied to the Blue and White Parade and the Blue and White Dance held during Homecoming each fall.
The book and torch are official symbols of the University and are featured in its seal. The book symbolizes knowledge and truth gained here and the torch symbolizes the light of inspiration that comes to students in these halls.
This traditional ceremony marks the commitment of the senior class to become active alumni of Indiana State. Historically, each senior class was charged with adding to the Parsons-Sandison Living Memorial Fund, a scholarship fund for Indiana State students. This tradition encompasses two ceremonies, the first of which is on Founder's Day (generally in January), at which time the president of the Alumni Board charges the senior class to make a commitment to the University. At commencement, another ceremony is conducted. As part of this ceremony, the senior class answers the challenge of commitment, as they become alumni of the University.
Indiana State University-Evansville (now University of Southern Indiana) -- Indiana State University-Evansville was created as a branch campus in 1965. Like Ball State University, it became an independent institution of higher education when it was granted independent standing as the University of Southern Indiana in 1985.
Named after Fred Donaghy, graduate of the Normal School (1912) and a professor of life sciences, this campus tradition was initiated in 1976 as a day set aside for the community to celebrate the season and to work to help beautify the campus and surrounding community.
The Eastern Division was created in 1918 in the building of the old Muncie Institute in Muncie, Indiana. The Eastern division became Ball State Teachers College in 1929 when Indiana State Normal became Indiana State Teachers College. The Indiana State Teachers College Board of Trustees governed both colleges until 1961.
March On (You Fighting Sycamores)," the University's fight song, was authored and arranged by Joseph A. Gremelspacher, an ISU professor of music, as a pep song. It was first performed at a homecoming-eve pep rally on Oct. 20, 1939.
January 6 (although it is not always observed on this date) commemorates the opening of the institution in 1870 when 23 students presented themselves to a faculty of three on the first day of classes at the Indiana State Normal School.
In 1969, a committee created the Chief Quabachi concept as a mascot for the school. This Indian Chief (and accompanying legend) was used as a mascot until 1989. In 1995, the university welcomed Sycamore Sam to the ISU family. The blue-and-white creature is a favorite among young and old alike.

This week consists of a variety of exciting student activities in celebration of spring, including the Tandem race (see below), bed races, air band competitions and more.
Student Publications lies within ISU's Student Affairs Division and is exactly as the name suggests – a student operation that develops the content and conducts general operations of our publication. Our flagship publication – The Indiana Statesman student newspaper – has been in existence since 1879. It is a registered student organization at Indiana State University and is published three days a week during the Fall and Spring semesters and twice during the Summer. Approximately 70 issues are published throughout the year.
In 1921 a contest was held to pick a name for the athletic teams at what was then called the Indiana State Normal School. Until this time, the term "Fighting Teachers" was frequently used in press accounts of athletic contests. In January 1922, it was announced that the name Sycamores had won a popular vote of the student body. Indiana State University has used this team name ever since.
This student-organized race was first run as part of Spring Week activities in 1970. Teams are comprised of coed mixed pairs, which compete on tandem bicycles.
The current seal includes the symbols of the book and torch and the founding date of 1865. It was approved for use by the board of Trustees in 1929, the year that the Normal School became Indiana State Teachers College.

Juice Beauty...High-efficacy yet authentically organic beauty solutions masterminded by a California team passionate about healthy lifestyles and whose organic products are backed by powerful science. Karen Behnke, serial wellness entrepreneur, had already built one of the first corporate wellness companies in the country. Then when she became pregnant with her first child at age 40, she developed a keen interest in personal care products. She was astounded to learn that, although the skin absorbs more than 60 percent of what's put on it, there were very few healthy personal care products available that actually worked well.
Karen subsequently bought the name "Juice Beauty" and launched the Company. Juice Beauty's mission is to lead the industry in high efficacy and authentically organic beauty products while inspiring the ultimate customer experience. Juice Beauty is proud to fulfill their mission with clinically validated products supported by solid eco-values that include purchasing from certified organic farmers, utilizing recyclable and recycled containers, printing with soy ink, and manufacturing with solar power. Juice Beauty also gives a percentage of profits to five chosen charities every month.
Karen has assembled a team of experienced professionals and scientists who are pioneering organic efficacy within the beauty products industry. Juice Beauty, with its unique antioxidant packed organic juice base, is featured in retailers throughout North America and Asia and was awarded its first patent for the unique Green Apple Peel formulation. Juice Beauty has also received several awards from publications like InStyle, Elle, Allure and Redbook for its ground-breaking products.
Clinically Validated Age Defying and Blemish Clearing Results
Juice Beauty uses powerful ingredients such as alpha lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10, DMAE, peptides, fat-soluble vitamin C and essential fatty acids for optimal results proven by clinical studies that have shown an 85 percent reduction in free radical skin cell damage (which means fewer wrinkles and sun spots!).
Authentically Organic Antioxidant Juice Base
Most beauty products that use "organic" in their marketing use only a few organic ingredients in a water base, making the total organic content dilute and often less than 5 percent. Instead of the typical water base that cannot be certified "organic or pesticide free," Juice Beauty puts more than100 USDA certified organic powerful ingredients into a 100 percent certified organic juice base (made from over 30 different juices), thus bringing the total organic content up to 98 percent in every product.
As such, Juice Beauty meets two rigorous standards: the USDA National Organic Program FOOD standard of 95 percent or greater organic content and the California Organic Products Act requiring a minimum of 70 percent total organic content (excluding water). Additionally, Juice Beauty has started the process of NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certification.
Commitment to Healthy Ingredients
The Juice Beauty team continually searches the west coast for the purest, most effective organic ingredients, including organic juices, aloe vera, honey, botanicals, plant oils and raw cane sugar from farms that specialize in sustainable and organic farming. These amazing formulations are made without parabens, petroleum, propylene or butylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfates, pesticides, phthalates, artificial dyes or synthetic fragrances.

Three St. Mary's residents have been charged with burglary and theft offenses in court papers alleging they broke into a Great Mills home last February and stole property including a strongbox holding about $10,000.
A judge ordered Monday that Richard T. Jenkins, 26, of Callaway remain in jail in lieu of $15,000 bond after his arrest on the charges filed by St. Mary's detectives. William R. Hobbs, 25, of Valley Lee was released last month on $5,000 bond after his arrest on the same charges. Ericka K. Hillegass, 37, also was charged with the same offenses and was released from custody last month on personal recognizance.
The three suspects are accused in charging papers of forcing their way into Charles Aud's home on Feb. 12 through a pair of French doors and stealing the strongbox of money, along with an air compressor, set of nail guns, a shotgun and two boxes of ammunition.

Pillsbury BEST® All Purpose Flour
1/4 cup
firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup
butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups
chopped pecans
1 (14 ounce) can
EAGLE BRAND® Sweetened Condensed Milk
eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons
lemon juice
I added one tub of applesauce to the crust (more liquid but no more fat) as it does have too much flour and I added some almond essence too. It still needs to crumble when you press it into the pan. I added some cinnamon to the topping for an extra taste. A good quick and easy recipe.
The crust ruins the recipe. Way too much flour! Cut the flour to 1 cup, and it might have worked with melted butter, like we use in graham cracker crusts. The topping is acceptable, but it does not remind me of a pecan pie. I'd rename and revamp this recipe or just forget it!
12 Ratings
These were way too dry. Next time I'll just make regular pecan pie.
I took the info from the other 2 reviews and melted the butter (I used margarine)and that made it compact. The filling is pretty good and for a quick and easy goodie, I guess this isn't too bad. If I can ever afford another bag of pecans for messing around with, I might keep tweaking on this recipe and get it better.
NOT GOOD!!!! Very dry and tasteless!!!!

The information provided here is meant to give you a general idea of what to expect from each of these medications. Only the most common side effects are included, so ask your doctor if there are any precautions specific to your case. Use each of these medications as recommended by your doctor or according to the instructions provided with the medications. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, contact your doctor.
The use of some of the most commonly prescribed medications is designed to assist with some of the symptoms that the tumor or the treatment can cause.
Prescription Medicines
Glucocorticoids (Cortisone-like Drugs, Steroids)
- Dexamethasone (Decadron)
- Levetiracetam (Keppra)
- Carbamazepine (Tegretol)
- Valproic acid (Depakene, Depakote)
- Phenytoin (Dilantin)
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in higher doses:
- Indomethacin (Indocin)
- Naproxen (Naprosyn, Anaprox)
- Celecoxib (Celebrex)
- Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
Narcotics and Their Derivatives
Over-the-Counter Medicine: Pain Killers
- Aspirin
- NSAIDs in lower doses
- Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
Prescription Medicines
- Dexamethasone (Decadron)
Cortisone-like drugs are used to reduce brain swelling. Swelling is common with brain tumors. Dexamethasone is most often used. It is given by mouth or by IV. Decreasing swelling associated with brain tumors is the most effective way to decrease head pain.
Typical side effects include:
- Feeling of hunger and associated weight gain
- Acne
- Muscle weakness called steroid myopathy—most noticeable when rising from a seated position or going up stairs
- Insomnia
- Increased blood sugar
- Increased blood pressure
- Restlessness—less common
Steroids also increase your risk of developing ulcers . Often, your doctor will place you on an additional medicine to decrease this risk. Steroids are also associated with joint aching and an increased risk for osteoporosis .
Dexamethasone for brain swelling is usually used short-term, avoiding the majority of side effects. Your doctor will often taper you off the steroids slowly.
- Levetiracetam (Keppra) (not approved as a single agent by the FDA)
- Carbamazepine (Tegretol)
- Valproic acid (Depakene, Depakote)
- Phenytoin (Dilantin)
Your doctor will choose an anti-epileptic medicine based on the potential benefits and the risks of side effects. The potential interactions with your other medicine will also be considered. In any given case, one may work better than another.
Many of the anti-epileptic medicine have the potential to interact with your other medicine, including chemotherapies.
Possible side effects for carbamazepine (Tegretol) include:
- Bone marrow damage
- Mental status changes
- Rashes/possibly severe skin reactions
- Hyponatremia—low sodium level in the blood
Possible side effects for valproic acid (Depakene, Depakote) include:
- Liver damage
- Fetal damage if pregnant
- Pancreatitis
- Thrombocytopenia—persistent decrease in the number of blood platelets
- Weakness, sleepiness
- Lightheadedness
- Nausea, vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Indigestion, abdominal pain, loss of appetite
- Visual disturbances
- Hair loss
- Respiratory infection
- Weight gain
- Rashes
Possible side effects for phenytoin (Dilantin) include:
- Mental status changes
- Rashes
- Nausea, vomiting
- Diarrhea or constipation
- Liver and bone marrow damage
- Gum swelling
- Respiratory inflammations
Possible side effects for Levetiracetam (Keppra) include:
- Mental status changes
- Irritability
- Loss of contact with reality known as psychosis
- Rashes
NSAIDs in higher doses, including:
- Indomethacin (Indocin)
- Naproxen (Naprosyn, Anaprox)
- Celecoxib (Celebrex)
Each NSAID has a slightly different chemistry and side effect profile. NSAIDS are used primarily to control pain. They do not control swelling as well as the steroid drugs, and they have side effects of their own.
Possible side effects include:
- Stomach irritation, ulceration, and bleeding
- Allergic reactions
- Kidney damage
- Liver damage
- Codeine
- Pentazocine (Talwin)
- Morphine
- Meperidine (Demerol)
- Fentanyl (Duragesic)
- Hydromorphone (Dilaudid)
- Methadone
- Oxycodone (Oxycontin)
These drugs are addicting, and the potential for abuse is high. However, there is no substitute for narcotics in the treatment of severe pain.
Most important side effects include:
- Lightheadedness
- Sleepiness/Somnolence
- Nausea and vomiting
- Itchiness
- Constipation
- Allergic reactions
- Decreased respiratory drive
- Overdose—can lead to death
Over-the-Counter Medicines: Pain Killers
- Aspirin
NSAIDs in higher doses
- Indomethacin (Indocin)
- Naproxen (Naprosyn, Anaprox)
- Celecoxib (Celebrex)
- Acetaminophen/Paracetamol (Tylenol, Panadol)
Possible side effects include:
- Stomach irritation
- Ulceration
- Bleeding
- Allergic reactions
- Kidney damage
- Liver damage
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is the common pain killer used for mild-to-moderate pain. Possible side effects include allergic reactions that damage blood cells or cause rashes. Overdoses can damage the liver. Because brain tumors grow, a medication that works at first may not do so as the tumor enlarges. Doses may have to be increased or stronger medications used.
- The desired effect is not achieved
- An undesired effect appears
- If you are taking aspirin or other NSAIDs and experience new stomach symptoms
Special Considerations
Whenever you are taking a prescription medicine, take the following precautions:
- Take your medicines as directed. Do not change the amount or the schedule.
- Do not stop taking them without talking to your doctor.
- Do not share them.
- Ask what results and side effects to expect. Report them to your doctor.
- Some drugs can be dangerous when mixed. Talk to a doctor or pharmacist if you are taking more than one drug. This includes over-the-counter medicines and herb or dietary supplements.
- Plan ahead for refills so you don't run out.

Now it's Republicans calling Karl Rove 'repulsive' and 'total loser'
"Evil genius" and "Bush's Brain" are just a few of the names thrown out by Democrats for Republican strategist Karl Rove. During his career as an adviser to George W. Bush, Rove was criticized by Democrats as the "Wizard of Oz" behind the curtain of the Bush campaign — the Rasputin of the White House. […] [Read More]

We keep track of all the tax law changes so you don't have to. TaxACT 2014 federal and state products have all the latest tax law changes to help you get your maximum guaranteed refund the fastest way possible!
The maximum amount of your earned income on which you pay Social Security tax is now $117,000. When you reach that amount with one employer, they should stop withholding Social Security tax from your pay until the following year. If you work for more than one employer, and your total earnings are more than $117,000, TaxACT calculates a credit for any overpayment of Social Security taxes.Print
If you qualify, you can exclude up to $99,200 of your foreign earned income from your taxable income for 2014. If you and your spouse both work in a foreign country and meet the qualifications, you may each be able to exclude up to $99,200.Print
You may qualify for a credit equal to up to $13,190 of your adoption expenses. If your employer provides adoption benefits, you may also be able to exclude up to the same amount from your income. Both a credit and exclusion may be claimed for the same adoption, but not for the same expense. The credit is now permanent and indexed to inflation.Print
The canceled debit exclusion provides tax relief on canceled debt for many homeowners involved in the mortgage foreclosure crisis. You may exclude up to $2,000,000 ($1,000,000 if married filing separately) of canceled qualified principal residence indebtness from taxable income.Print
You may be able to deduct qualified mortgage insurance premiums, also known as private mortgage insurance (PMI), you paid on a home as an itemized deduction. This amount may be reported in Box 4 of Form 1098.Print
The standard amount you can deduct from income if you don't itemize your deductions is $6,200 ($12,400 for married couples filing jointly, or $9,100 if you file as head of household).Print
The personal exemption for 2014 is $3,950, up from $3,900.Print
This provision increases the standard deduction for married taxpayers filing jointly, and expands the 15% tax bracket.Print
The Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) exemption amount rises in 2014 to $52,800 ($82,100, for married couples filing jointly).Print
If you have no children, your maximum Earned Income Credit for 2014 is $496. With two children, the maximum amount is $5,460, and with one child, it is $3,305. If you have three or more qualifying children, the maximum Credit you can receive for 2014 is $6,143 (up from $6,044 in 2013).Print
You may be able to exclude all or part of the interest from qualifying Series EE or Series I bonds if you use the income for qualified educational expenses. You cannot take this benefit if your modified adjusted gross income is $89,700 or more ($142,050 if you file jointly, or if you file as Qualifying Widow(er) with Dependent Child).Print
The American Opportunity Tax Credit expanded on the Hope Credit. The income limits are higher, the credit is available for more qualified expenses, and you can use the credit for four years of post-secondary education instead of just two. In addition, you can even get a refund if you don't owe any tax for up to 40% of the credit ($1,000).Print
You can still deduct tuition expenses as an adjustment to income, even if you don't itemize your deductions. You generally take the tuition expense deduction if you don't qualify for an education credit or other tax break for the same expenses.Print
The new, permanent contribution limit is $2,000 per year.Print
Changes for 2014 include the addition of the Health Insurance Premium Tax Credit (see below) and the Individual Shared Responsibility Provision. The majority of taxpayers will see minimal impact on their 2014 federal taxes. For more information, visit TaxACT's website, HealthcareACT.com. The site offers tools and information to help you understand the impact of the Affordable Care Act on your taxes. Resources include year-by-year guidance and calculators to estimate your eligibility for the premium tax credit or your tax penalty for being uninsured.Print
If individuals or families purchase health insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace, they may qualify for the new Health Insurance Premium Tax Credit. To qualify for the credit, your household income must fall between 100 percent and 400 percent of the federal poverty line, you may not be claimed as a dependent on any other taxpayer's return, and (if married), you must file jointly. In the case of spousal abuse or abandonment, this requirement may be waived.Print
In 2014, each individual taxpayer must carry the required "minimum essential coverage" each month, qualify for an exemption, or pay mandatory taxes. For those facing this new penalty, relief provisions have been written into the tax laws to help taxpayers transition into these new requirements. The minimum amount of insurance coverage you must carry is calculated per family member and then added together.Print
If you have a high adjusted gross income, you may not be able to take all your itemized deductions, thanks to the Pease provision. Itemized deductions start to phase out at $152,525 if you are married filing separately ($254,200 for individuals, $279,650 if head of household, or $305,050 if filing jointly). Your itemized deductions are reduced by 3% of your adjusted gross income over these amounts, but they are never reduced by more than 80% of your otherwise allowable deductions.Print
Your personal exemptions for yourself, your spouse, and your dependents reduce your taxable income by $3,950 each. If your adjusted gross income is over $254,200 ($152,525 if married filing separately, $305,050 if filing jointly, or $279,650 if filing as head of household), your personal exemptions are reduced by 2% for each $2,500 or portion over these amounts. The exemption phases out completely at $376,700 ($427,550 if filing jointly, $213,775 if filing separately, $402,150 if filing as head of household).Print
For persons who died in 2014, the federal estate tax rate remains at 40%. This tax only applies to estates larger than $5,340,000 - up from $5,250,000 in 2013.Print
The standard mileage rate for the use of your car or other vehicle dropped half a cent to 56 cents per mile for business and 23.5 cents per mile driven for medical or moving purposes. The rate for charitable travel remained the same at 14 cents per mile.Print
The most you can contribute to one of these plans remains at $2,500. Your spouse can also contribute $2,500 if he or she meets the qualifications. For certain FSAs, up to $500 can now be carried over to the next year.Print
(1) Self-only coverage. For taxable years beginning in 2014, the term "high deductible health plan" as defined in Sec. 220(c)(2)(A) means, for self-only coverage, a health plan that has an annual deductible that is not less than $2,200 and not more than $3,250, and under which the annual out-of-pocket expenses required to be paid (other than for premiums) for covered benefits do not exceed $4,350.
(2) Family coverage. For taxable years beginning in 2014, the term "high deductible health plan" means, for family coverage, a health plan that has an annual deductible that is not less than $4,350 and not more than $6,550, and under which the annual out-of-pocket expenses required to be paid (other than for premiums) for covered benefits do not exceed $8,000.Print
