All income is taxable unless it is specifically excluded by law. The following discussions highlight some taxable and nontaxable income items.
Dependent care benefits include:
Amounts your employer paid directly to you or your care provider for the care of your qualifying person(s) while you worked,
The fair market value of care in a daycare facility provided or sponsored by your employer, and
Pre-tax contributions you made under a dependent care flexible spending arrangement.
The total amount of dependent care benefits you received during the year,
The total amount of qualified expenses you incurred during the year,
Your earned income,
Your spouse's earned income, or
$5,000 ($2,500 if married filing separately).
A qualifying child who is under age 13 whom you can claim as a dependent. If the child turned 13 during the year, the child is a qualifying person for the part of the year he or she was under age 13.
Your disabled spouse who is not physically or mentally able to care for themselves.
Any disabled person who was not physically or mentally able to care for themselves whom you can claim as a dependent (or could claim as a dependent except that the person had gross income of $3,950 or more or filed a joint return).
Any disabled person who was not physically or mentally able to care for themselves whom you could claim as a dependent except that you (or your spouse if filing jointly) could be claimed as a dependent on another taxpayer's 2014 return.
For information about excluding benefits on Form 1040, Form 1040NR, or Form 1040A, see Form 2441 and its instructions.
If you received social security or equivalent Tier 1 railroad retirement (RRTA) benefits during the year, part of the amount you received may be taxable.
$25,000 if you are single, head of household, or qualifying widow(er);
$25,000 if you are married filing separately and lived apart from your spouse for all of 2014;
$32,000 if you are married filing jointly; or
$-0- if you are married filing separately and lived with your spouse at any time during 2014.
If you retired on disability, you must include in income any disability pension you receive under a plan that is paid for by your employer. You must report your taxable disability payments as wages on line 7 of Form 1040 or Form 1040A until you reach minimum retirement age. Minimum retirement age generally is the age at which you can first receive a pension or annuity if you are not disabled.
Beginning on the day after you reach minimum retirement age, payments you receive are taxable as a pension or annuity. Report the payments on Form 1040, lines 16a and 16b, or on Form 1040A, lines 12a and 12b. See Publication 575, Pension and Annuity Income.
See Publication 525, Taxable and Nontaxable Income.
Generally, you must report disability pensions as income, but do not include certain military and government disability pensions. See Publication 525.
Education, training, and subsistence allowances;
Disability compensation and pension payments for disabilities paid to veterans or their families;
Grants for homes designed for wheelchair living;
Grants for motor vehicles for veterans who lost their sight or the use of their limbs;
Veterans' insurance proceeds and dividends paid to veterans or their beneficiaries, including the proceeds of a veteran's endowment policy paid before death;
Interest on insurance dividends left on deposit with the VA;
Benefits under a dependent-care assistance program;
The death gratuity paid to a survivor of a member of the Armed Forces who died after September 10, 2001; or
Payments made under the VA's compensated work therapy program.
You may receive other payments that are related to your disability. The following payments are not taxable.
Benefit payments from a public welfare fund, such as payments due to blindness.
Workers' compensation for an occupational sickness or injury if paid under a workers' compensation act or similar law.
Compensatory (but not punitive) damages for physical injury or physical sickness.
Disability benefits under a "no-fault" car insurance policy for loss of income or earning capacity as a result of injuries.
Compensation for permanent loss or loss of use of a part or function of your body, or for your permanent disfigurement.
Long-term care insurance contracts generally are treated as accident and health insurance contracts. Amounts you receive from them (other than policyholder dividends or premium refunds) generally are excludable from income as amounts received for personal injury or sickness. See Publication 525.
You can exclude from income accelerated death benefits you receive on the life of an insured individual if certain requirements are met. Accelerated death benefits are amounts received under a life insurance contract before the death of the insured. These benefits also include amounts received on the sale or assignment of the contract to a viatical settlement provider. This exclusion applies only if the insured was a terminally ill individual or a chronically ill individual. See Publication 525.
If you file Form 1040, to lower your taxable income you generally can claim the standard deduction or itemize your deductions, such as medical expenses, using Schedule A (Form 1040). For impairment-related work expenses, use the appropriate business form (1040 Schedules: C, C-EZ, E, and F; Form 2106, Employee Business Expenses; or Form 2106-EZ, Unreimbursed Employee Business Expenses).
When figuring your deduction for medical expenses, you can generally include medical and dental expenses you pay for yourself, your spouse, and your dependents.
Medical expenses are the cost of diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease and the costs for treatments affecting any part or function of the body. They include the costs of equipment, supplies, diagnostic devices, and transportation for needed medical care and payments for medical insurance.
You can deduct only the amount of your medical and dental expenses that is more than 10% (7.5% if you or your spouse were born before January 2, 1949) of your adjusted gross income shown on Form 1040, line 38.
The following list highlights some of the medical expenses you can include in figuring your medical expense deduction.
Artificial limbs, contact lenses, eyeglasses, and hearing aids.
The part of the cost of Braille books and magazines that is more than the price of regular printed editions.
Cost and repair of special telephone equipment for hearing-impaired persons.
Cost and maintenance of a wheelchair or a three-wheel motor vehicle commercially known as an "autoette."
Cost and care of a guide dog or other animal aiding a person with a physical disability.
Costs for a school that furnishes special education if a principal reason for using the school is its resources for relieving a mental or physical disability. This includes the cost of teaching Braille and lip reading and the cost of remedial language training to correct a condition caused by a birth defect.
Premiums for qualified long-term care insurance, up to certain amounts.
Improvements to a home that do not increase its value if the main purpose is medical care. An example is constructing entrance or exit ramps.
If you are disabled, you can take a business deduction for expenses that are necessary for you to be able to work. If you take a business deduction for these impairment-related work expenses, they are not subject to the 10% (7.5% if you or your spouse is age 65 or older) limit that applies to medical expenses.
You are disabled if you have:
A physical or mental disability (for example, blindness or deafness) that functionally limits your being employed; or
A physical or mental impairment (including, but not limited to, a sight or hearing impairment) that substantially limits one or more of your major life activities, such as performing manual tasks, walking, speaking, breathing, learning, or working.
Necessary for you to do your work satisfactorily;
For goods and services not required or used, other than incidentally, in your personal activities; and
Not specifically covered under other income tax laws.
See Publication 502.
This discussion highlights three tax credits which may lower your tax due and may be refundable.
If you pay someone to care for your dependent under age 13 or your spouse or dependent who is not able to care for themselves, you may be able to get a credit of up to 35% of your expenses. To qualify, you must pay these expenses so you can work or look for work. The care must be provided for:
Your qualifying child who is your dependent and who was under age 13 when the care was provided;
Your spouse who was not physically or mentally able to care for themselves and lived with you for more than half the year; or
A person who was not physically or mentally able to care for themselves, lived with you for more than half the year, and either:
Was your dependent, or
Would have been your dependent except that:
He or she received gross income of $3,950 or more,
He or she filed a joint return, or
You, or your spouse if filing jointly, could be claimed as a dependent on someone else's 2014 return.
You can claim the credit on Form 1040 or 1040A. You cannot claim the credit on Form 1040EZ or Form 1040NR-EZ. You figure the credit on Form 2441.
For more information, see the instructions for Form 1040, line 49, or Form 1040A, line 31, and Publication 503, Child and Dependent Care Expenses.
You may be able to claim this credit if you are a U.S. citizen or a resident alien and either of the following apply.
You were 65 or older at the end of 2014.
You were under 65 at the end of 2014, and retired on permanent or total disability.
You can claim the credit on Form 1040 or 1040A. You figure the credit on Schedule R, Credit for the Elderly or the Disabled.
For more information, see the instructions for Form 1040, line 54; Form 1040A, line 32; and Publication 524, Credit for the Elderly or the Disabled.
This credit is for people who work and have a qualifying child or who meet other qualifications. You can get the credit if your adjusted gross income for 2014 is less than:
$14,590 ($20,020 for married filing jointly) if you do not have a qualifying child,
$38,511 ($43,941 for married filing jointly) if you have one qualifying child,
$43,756 ($49,186 for married filing jointly) if you have two qualifying children, or
$46,997 ($52,427 for married filing jointly) if you have three or more qualifying children.
To figure the credit, use the worksheet in the instructions for Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ. If you have a qualifying child, also complete Schedule EIC, Earned Income Credit, and attach it to your Form 1040 or 1040A. You cannot use Form 1040EZ if you have a qualifying child.
If you pay someone to work in your home, such as a babysitter or housekeeper, you may be a household employer who has to pay employment taxes.
A person you hire through an agency is not your employee if the agency controls what work is done and how it is done. This control could include setting the fee, requiring regular reports, and providing rules of conduct and appearance. In this case you do not have to pay employment taxes on the amount you pay. But if you control what work is done and how it is done, the worker is your employee. If you possess the right to discharge a worker, that worker is generally considered to be your employee. If a worker is your employee, it does not matter that you hired the worker through an agency or from a list provided by an agency.
To find out if you have to pay employment taxes, see Publication 926, Household Employer's Tax Guide For Wages Paid in 2014.
If you own or operate a business, or you are looking for work, you should be aware of the following tax incentives for businesses to help persons with disabilities.
Deduction for costs of removing barriers to the disabled and the elderly—This is a deduction a business can take for making a facility or public transportation vehicle more accessible to and usable by persons who are disabled or elderly. See chapter 7 of Publication 535, Business Expenses.
Disabled access credit—This is a nonrefundable tax credit for an eligible small business that pays or incurs expenses to provide access to persons with disabilities. The expenses must be to enable the eligible small business to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990. See Form 8826, Disabled Access Credit.
Work opportunity credit—This credit provides businesses with an incentive to hire individuals from targeted groups that have a particularly high unemployment rate or other special employment needs. One targeted group consists of vocational rehabilitation referrals. These are individuals who have a physical or mental disability that results in a substantial handicap to employment. See Form 5884, Work Opportunity Credit.

URBANA, Ill. A sub-cellular world has been opened up for scientists to study E. coli and other tissues in new ways, thanks to a microscopy method that stealthily provides three-dimensional, high-quality images of the internal structure of cells without disturbing the specimen.
By combining a novel algorithm with a recently-developed add-on technique for commercial microscopes, researchers at the University of Illinois have created a fast, non-invasive 3D method for visualizing, quantifying, and studying cells without the use of fluorescence or contrast agents.
In a paper published online today in the journal PLoS ONE, the researchers who developed the technique reported that they were able to use it to visualize the E. coli bacteria with a combination of speed, scale, and resolution unparalleled for a label-free method.
The method is based on a broadband interferometric technique known as Spatial Light Interference Microscopy (SLIM) that was designed by Beckman Institute researcher Gabriel Popescu as an add-on module to a commercial phase contrast microscope. SLIM is extremely fast and sensitive at multiple scales (from 200 nm and up) but, as a linear optical system, its resolution is limited by diffraction.
By applying a novel deconvolution algorithm to retrieve sub-diffraction limited resolution information from the fields measured by SLIM, Popescu and his fellow researchers were able to render tomographic images with a resolution beyond SLIM's diffraction limits. They used the sparse reconstruction method to render 3D reconstructed images of E. coli cells, enabling label-free visualization of the specimens at sub-cellular scales.
Last year the researchers successfully demonstrated a new optical technique that provides 3D measures of complex fields called Spatial Light Interference Tomography (SLIT) on live neurons and photonic crystal structures. In this project they developed a nov

A feasibility study for a new events center in Borger has received the green light from the Borger City Council.
During its regular meeting Tuesday, the council approved the proposal from CS&L to conduct a feasibility study on a potential multi-purpose events center and authorize an expenditure from the tourism fund not to exceed $50,000 for the project.
The study will consist of two phases, the first centering around market and market supportable facility analysis. The cost for the first phase is $33,000. The second phase would consist of event level, financial, economic, and ownership/management analysis along with reports and presentation work. This phase will cost $11,000. The remaining $6,000 will go towards the coverage of out-of-pocket expenses such as travel, postage, printing and/or reproduction. The funds will come from the city's tourism fund. The study will take 12 weeks to complete.
Mark Mitchell, who is a member of the Borger Multi-Events Center Committee, said work on this project has been taking place for two years. Through the help of BEDC, the committee was able to secure a pledge of land for the center in August of 2011, and it feels like the next step is to move forward with this study.
He said CS&L has great credentials not only nationwide, but also throughout the local area. Mitchell said the committee wants to do this study to really get down to the meat of the project.
Mayor Pro-Tem Robert Vinyard, who has served as a city representative on the committee, said he has been working diligently on this project with the other members. The committee is doing all it can to see that it is making the right moves, Vinyard said, and securing the land was an important one. However, he said he sees the feasibility study as the next important step.
"It's come down to a point that we need to have an owner," he said. Right now, he said the city seems like the best fit to be the owner of this property, and the committee wants an answer, either a positive yes or a positive no, before it asks the council to have the city take on this project.
He said the committee feels like this is the only way it has left to prove to the City of Borger whether taking on this project would be a wise or unwise investment.
"None of us on this committee want to see the City of Borger with a white elephant," Vinyard said.
He said the cost of the feasibility study will be well worth the money to get the answers the City of Borger is looking for prior to moving forward.
Mayor Jeff Brain said he is 100 percent behind the project, but he doesn't want the City of Borger to take on a project that could cost taxpayers a lot of money and not be a benefit to the community. He said the study is the ideal solution and he is excited to hear the results.
In addition to Vinyard and Mitchell, fellow events center committee members are Patty Kasch, Beverly Benton, Leon Roberts, Jerry Hefner, Jud Hicks, and Shawna Lamb.
Council members attending the meeting were Charles Gillingham, Bubba Dickson, Leon DeWeese, Vinyard, and Mayor Brain.

Prater's Flooring: Made in Chattanooga
by Latricia Thomas, @LatriciaTNC9
Piece by piece, the maple panels of the final four floor are placed together like pieces of a puzzle at Prater's Flooring.
"we are putting our workmanship out to the masses," says John Prater. Prater's Flooring in Chattanooga brings in the panels from Michigan and then puts all hands on deck to spruce them up to championship level.
John says, "there's a lot of pride, not just for me but for all the employees that have worked very hard to produce this particular floor."
In a time lapse video, the floor for the men's games in Atlanta comes together in minutes, but in real life the planning started months before Selection Sunday... using a technique that Prater's was the first to try. "We decided in the early 90's to invest in computer equipment and I started designing floors for people," Prater says. "There were no real logos on floors and we started the trend of doing oversize logos."
And after the 4 by 8 panels are positioned and locked together, those designs come to life. Using these blue vinyl stencils that Prater's designs and cuts in-house.
"The vinyl mask is applied it is cut to where we can just apply the paint, once the vinyl is taken up then we can cut the other layers of vinyl over the top to get the look that we want."
In the case of the women's floor, it's a look that's one of a kind. "this is my favorite floor that we've done, it really sets the venue apart from all others."
So when the eight remaining teams hit the hardwood in Atlanta and New Orleans this weekend they'll be playing on a 700-square foot canvas of Chattanooga artwork seen by basketball fans around the world. "We all look at the floors, we are basketball fans, too but we look at the floors."

General Fact Sheet
- What is glyphosate?
- What are some products that contain glyphosate?
- How does glyphosate work?
- How might I be exposed to glyphosate?
- What are some signs and symptoms from a brief exposure to glyphosate?
- What happens to glyphosate when it enters the body?
- Is glyphosate likely to contribute to the development of cancer?
- Has anyone studied non-cancer effects from long-term exposure to glyphosate?
- Are children more sensitive to glyphosate than adults?
- What happens to glyphosate in the environment?
- Can glyphosate affect birds, fish, and other wildlife?
What is glyphosate?
Glyphosate is an herbicide. It is applied to the leaves of plants to kill both broadleaf plants and grasses. The sodium salt form of glyphosate is used to regulate plant growth and ripen fruit.
Glyphosate was first registered for use in the U.S. in 1974. Glyphosate is one of the most widely used herbicides in the United States. People apply it in agriculture and forestry, on lawns and gardens, and for weeds in industrial areas. Some products containing glyphosate control aquatic plants.
What are some products that contain glyphosate?
Glyphosate comes in many forms, including an acid and several salts. These can be either solids or an amber-colored liquid. There are over 750 products containing glyphosate for sale in the United States.
Always follow label instructions and take steps to avoid exposure. If any exposures occur, be sure to follow the First Aid instructions on the product label carefully. For additional treatment advice, contact the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222. If you wish to discuss a pesticide problem, please call 1-800-858-7378.
How does glyphosate work?
Glyphosate is a non-selective herbicide, meaning it will kill most plants. It prevents the plants from making certain proteins that are needed for plant growth. Glyphosate stops a specific enzyme pathway, the shikimic acid pathway. The shikimic acid pathway is found only in plants and some microorganisms.
How might I be exposed to glyphosate?
You can be exposed to glyphosate if you get it on your skin, in your eyes or breathe it in when you are using it. You might swallow some glyphosate if you eat or smoke after applying it without washing your hands first. You may also be exposed if you touch plants that are still wet with spray. Glyphosate isn't likely to vaporize after it is sprayed.
What are some signs and symptoms from a brief exposure to glyphosate?
Pure glyphosate is low in toxicity, but products usually contain other ingredients that help the glyphosate get into the plants. The other ingredients in the product can make the product more toxic. Products containing glyphosate may cause eye or skin irritation. People who breathed in spray mist from products containing glyphosate felt irritation in their nose and throat. Swallowing products with glyphosate can cause increased saliva, burns in the mouth and throat, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Pets may be at risk if they touch or eat plants that are still wet with spray from products containing glyphosate. Animals exposed to products with glyphosate may drool, vomit, have diarrhea, lose their appetite, or seem sleepy.
What happens to glyphosate when it enters the body?
In humans, glyphosate does not easily pass through the skin. Glyphosate taken in through the skin or by mouth goes through the body in less than one day. Glyphosate leaves the body in urine and feces without being changed into another chemical.
Studies with rats showed that about one-third of a dose of glyphosate was absorbed by the rats' intestines. Half of the dose was found in the rats' stomachs and intestines 6 hours later, and all traces were gone within one week.
Is glyphosate likely to contribute to the development of cancer?
At environmentally relevant doses, animal studies have not shown evidence that glyphosate is carcinogenic. Studies on cancer rates in people have provided conflicting results on whether the use of glyphosate containing products, particularly in occupational settings, is associated with cancer.
Has anyone studied non-cancer effects from long-term exposure to glyphosate?
Glyphosate exposure has not been linked to developmental or reproductive effects in rats except at very high doses that were repeated during pregnancy. These doses made the mother rats sick. The rat fetuses gained weight more slowly, and some fetuses had skeletal defects.
No information was found linking exposure to glyphosate with asthma or other diseases.
Are children more sensitive to glyphosate than adults?
While children may be especially sensitive to pesticides compared to adults, there are currently no data showing that children have increased sensitivity specifically to glyphosate.
What happens to glyphosate in the environment?
Glyphosate binds tightly to soil. It can persist in soil for up to 6 months depending on the climate and the type of soil it is in. Glyphosate is broken down by bacteria in the soil.
Glyphosate is not likely to get into groundwater because it binds tightly to soil. In one study, half the glyphosate in dead leaves broke down in 8 or 9 days. Another study found that some glyphosate was taken up by carrots and lettuce after the soil was treated with it.
Can glyphosate affect birds, fish, or other wildlife?
Pure glyphosate is low in toxicity to fish and wildlife, but some products containing glyphosate may be toxic because of the other ingredients in them. Glyphosate may affect fish and wildlife indirectly because killing the plants alters the animals' habitat.
Where can I get more information?
For more detailed information about glyphosate please visit the list of referenced resources or call the National Pesticide Information Center, Monday - Friday, between 8:00am - 12:00pm Pacific Time (11:00am - 3:00pm Eastern Time) at 1-800-858-7378 or visit us on the web at http://npic.orst.edu.

Did you feel that wave of energy that rippled across the country? It originated in Los Angeles, and it was definitely more powerful than that little earthquake we had a couple weeks ago.
And it was all because a new It couple has arrived in L.A. recently, and they are destined to overshadow even Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They're the ultimate power couple. Or should we say they're the ultimate prideful couple?
We're talking about the lion couple that you can now visit at the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens! Meet Kalisa and Hubert (aren't those named much cooler than Brad and Angie?). They are a 15-year-old lion pair that came all the way from the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. And we hate to say it, but it's quite possible that they are even more beautiful than Brangelina.
WATCH: This lion playing with his cubs for the first time is like a really angry version of The Lion King
Look at those eyes!
Those whiskers!
That glorious fur!
And even their love story is perfect. Their old home even tweeted about their first time meeting, and it was definitely love at first sight:
"Krugeri lions Hubert and Kalisa have met for the first time and are already flirting. Stay tuned to see if they choose to mate!"
This is the Hollywood couple everyone should be obsessed with. So if you're in the Los Angeles area, get your paparazzi on and visit the LA Zoo to check out Kalisa and Hubert.
Wait! We have to give them a couple name!
Hulisa? Kabert?
We might as well take the rest of the day to decide on their power couple mashup.
PHOTOS: Check out celebrities who adopted their pets (no lions)!

Riding Continues Playing Miller's Time in Salisbury
Editorial Staff • West End • 1 Sep 2005
Since finishing her highly acclaimed run as Eliza Doolittle in the National Theatre production of My Fair Lady, for which she won the 2003 Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical, Riding has turned her attention to plays. In summer 2003 she starred as Maggie opposite Cold Feet's John Thomson in Harold Brighouse's 1915 play Hobson's Choice, at Manchester's Royal Exchange. She returned to Manchester in December 2003 to play Miss Gossage in a revival of John Dighton's The Happiest Days of Your Life.
Riding was seen in the West End earlier this year as Ruth Condomine in a revival of Noel Coward comedy Blithe Spirit, for which she was nominated for a Whatsonstage.com award. Blithe Spirit played at Bath as part of the Peter Hall summer repertory season, prior to a regional tour and a transfer to the Savoy, where it ran from November 2004 to May 2005.
In Playing for Time, Riding will be putting her musical talents to good use as she'll be singing and playing the piano on stage in the story about an orchestra in Auschwitz. Miller's play is based on the novel by Holocaust survivor Fania Fenelon, who was recruited to the orchestra. In the original 1980 film version, Vanessa Redgrave played Fenelon, the part taken in the UK stage version by Riding.
Riding is joined in the cast of 24 actor-musicians by Jess Murphy, Fiona Johnson, Charlotte Roach, Fiona Bruce, Hannah Bourne, Karen Fisher–Pollard, Rosalie Craig, Helen Kirkpatrick, Kate Lynn Hocking and Luisa Prosser. The new production is directed by Playhouse artistic director Joanna Read and designed by Su Houser with lighting by Paul Anderson and musical direction by John Owen-Edwards.

5 ex-footballers plead not guilty in assaults
BURLINGTON Five former high school football players have pleaded not guilty to assault charges stemming from what police say were initiations involving sexual assaults with objects in 2011 and 2012.
Court documents released Tuesday allege the Milton High School players, now between ages 18 and 20, held the initiations at homes and the high school.
Three of the five appeared in court Tuesday in Burlington to answer the charges of simple assault. Two others were out of state. All pleaded not guilty.
One victim told police he refused to report the assault at the time because of concerns it could lead to the cancellation of the football season and he did not want to be blamed.MORE IN This Just In

- Publisher's Summary
- Although the use of music for extramusical purposes has been a part of American culture for some time, the phenomenon remained largely unknown to the general public until revelations became widespread of startling military practices during the second Iraq War. In "Music in American Crime Prevention and Punishment, " Lily E. Hirsch explores the related terrain at the intersection of music and law, demonstrating the ways in which music has become a tool of law enforcement and justice through: police and community leaders' use of classical music in crime deterrence and punishment; the use of rap lyrics as prosecutorial evidence; allegations of music as incitement to violence; and the role of music in U.S. prisons and in detention centers in Guantanamo, Iraq, and Afghanistan.In the course of her study, Hirsch asks several questions: How does the law treat music? When and why does music participate in the law? How does music influence the legal process? How does the legal process influence music? And how do these appropriations affect the Romantic ideals underlying our view of music?

Paint It Blackby Janet Fitch
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From the bestselling author of White Oleander, a powerful story of passion, first love, and a young woman's search for a true world in the aftermath of loss.
Josie Tyrell, art model, teen runaway, and denizen of LA's 1980 punk rock scene, finds a chance at real love with art student Michael Faraday. A Harvard dropout and son of a renowned pianist, Michael introduces her to his spiritual quest and a world of sophistication she had never dreamed existed. But when she receives a call from the Los Angeles County Coroner, asking her to identify her lover's dead body, her bright dreams all turn to black.
"What happens to a dream when the dreamer is gone?" is the central question of Paint it Black, the story of the aftermath of Michael's death, and Josie's struggle to hold onto the true world he shared with her. As Josie searches for the key to understanding his death, she finds herself both repelled and attracted to Michael's pianist mother, Meredith, who holds Josie responsible for her son's torment. Soon, the two women find themselves drawn into a twisted relationship reflecting equal parts distrust and blind need.
Passionate, wounded, fiercely alive, Josie Tyrell walks the brink of her own destruction as she fights to discover the meaning of Michael's death. With the luxurious prose and emotional intensity that are her hallmarks, Janet Fitch has written a spellbinding new novel about love, betrayal, and the possibility of transcendence.
"Fitch follows her bestselling debut, White Oleander, by revisiting the insidious effects of a powerful, narcissistic mother on an only child. Michael Faraday is a Harvard dropout who paints in the L.A. art world of 1981; his suicide happens a few pages in, and sets the stage for a Fitch's masterful shifts in time and perspective. Josie Tyrell, an artist's model and denizen of the punk rock, had an intense relationship with Michael, but never managed to free him from his mother, renowned concert pianist Meredith Loewy, who moves in a bleak, loveless world of wealth and privilege. Yet their very different loves for Michael bring about a surprising alliance between the imperious Meredith and Josie, a white trash escapee whose inborn grace, style and sense of self sustain her — along with art, music and alcohol. The two find unexpected comfort in each other's shared loss, allowing Fitch to contrast the inner and outer resources of women whose lives couldn't be more different, and to flash back deeply into their histories. Fitch excels at painting a negative personality with sure-handed depth and fairness, and her prose penetrates the inner lives of the two with immediacy and bite. In Josie, she has created an indomitable young woman whose pluck and growing self-awareness beautifully offset Meredith's emptiness. Their relationship transforms a big clich — the artist's suicide — into a page-turning psychodrama. (Sept.)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"It has been more than four decades since Betty Friedan's 'The Feminine Mystique' was first published, but we still love those Cinderella-like fairy tales of pretty women from the wrong side of the tracks who, in the end, find their handsome princes. Library shelves groan beneath the weight of books with that plot, and the shell of the story provides steady material for the shopping mall multiplex.... Washington Post Book Review (read the entire Washington Post review) But what if that handsome prince decides to kill himself? What happens to Cinderella?Such is the premise of Janet Fitch's second novel, 'Paint It Black.' Josie Tyrell is a 20-year-old runaway living in Los Angeles in 1980, making ends meet as a nude model for art students and as an actress in extremely low-budget films. She has escaped an embittered, impoverished family in Bakersfield, where everyone in her clan was known for being 'grubby and stupid and vicious as a rat,' and her older brother, Tommy, raped her when she was 13. Then, however, one of those art students, a handsome Harvard dropout named Michael Faraday, takes an interest in her. Faraday's father, Cal, is a successful writer, and his mother, Meredith, is a world-renowned concert pianist. Michael is educated, gentle and enlightened — everything, in essence, that Josie's family is not. The pair fall in love and live together in an L.A. cottage, where Josie continues to model and act and hang out with her punk-rock pals in the Southern California music scene, and Michael paints and makes a little money playing piano at children's parties. He constructs for her elegant pipe-cleaner circus performers. Their idyllic world begins to unravel when Michael grows depressed and tries to distance himself from Josie. It explodes completely when he disappears to a desert motel to kill himself, leaving Josie alone to try to understand how he could have done this to them. Fitch kills off Michael in the very first chapter of 'Paint It Black,' setting in motion two stories: first, the tale of Josie's despair; second, an exploration of the relationship she begins to build with Michael's mother. Before his death, Meredith detested Josie and blamed the art model for her son's refusal to return to Harvard; afterward, she realizes that Josie is her only remaining link to her son and tries to befriend her. Neither story moves at an especially electric pace. A little despair goes a long way, and in 'Paint It Black' there is a lot of despair. Whole chapters are devoted to it, and we experience Josie's sadness as she sleepwalks through modeling sessions and film takes, and while dozing in beds, on couches and beside swimming pools. She also drinks a lot of 'voddy' and smokes a great many 'ciggies.' The second plot, the saga of Josie and Meredith, never catches fire, either — though, in this case, there are a lot of attempted pyrotechnics. Does Meredith invite Josie into her home because she really wants Josie dead and plans to poison her? Did she and her son have a secret incestuous relationship? Will Meredith take Josie with her on a European concert tour? Most of these are red herrings — attempts, it seems, to add narrative movement to a novel that is anchored solidly in Josie's post-Michael torpor. Fitch demonstrated that she is an immensely gifted stylist in her poignant, beautifully written first novel, 'White Oleander.' In her second book, however, her prose occasionally verges on the overwrought: 'How those walls had once begged for violation, like a snarky virgin,' or 'And above them all, the giant Marlboro man squinted down from his billboard with testosterone scorn, like God sneering down on Creation.' Likewise some of her metaphors and similes — and Fitch loves metaphors and similes — are a trifle convoluted. In some cases, they are creative, but backward. To wit: 'Her lungs closed around the air hard, like fingers slammed in a car door.' And sometimes they are just overwritten, such as Josie's ruminations about her soul:'She tried to picture a soul. A white feathered thing, like your lungs, those wings. But hers was more like a rotten old bathing suit that had molded on the hook, it would tear clean apart if she tried to put it on. A moldy old scrap only fit for throwing away, not even the devil would take it on consignment.' Nevertheless, you can't help but like Josie and hope for the best. As she did with 'White Oleander,' Fitch has given us a courageous and interesting young woman who handles the bad cards she has been dealt with grace and resolve. No one, not even Cinderella, knows better than Josie Tyrell that life isn't fair — and no one, despite some very long odds, seems more likely to transcend the role of victim and succeed with or without her fairy-tale prince."

Gift is largest by an individual to a children's hospital nationally
CHICAGO, Sept. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Children's Memorial Hospital announced today that philanthropist Ann Lurie has pledged $100 million to help fund the new facility planned for Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago. This gift is the largest given by an individual to a children's hospital in the United States.
The $100 million gift, the largest charitable investment received in the hospital's 125-year history, will be used to help create the new hospital in Chicago's Streeterville community and to enhance its pediatric research initiatives.
"This is a historic day for children's health and for the city of Chicago," said J. Christopher Reyes, chairman of the board of directors of Children's Memorial Medical Center.
"Ann Lurie is a true philanthropist and an advocate for the health and well-being of children. This gift will transform Children's Memorial Hospital and the care that we are able to provide to children and families," said Patrick M. Magoon, president and CEO of Children's Memorial Medical Center. "This landmark investment in children's health will enable our community to better provide every child with the opportunity to reach his or her full potential."
"Medicine is evolving so rapidly. To capture some of the value of new innovations and technology, Children's Memorial requires an updated clinical facility with space for upgraded equipment and services," said Ann Lurie. "It is my hope that this gift will help Children's Memorial Hospital leverage its strengths and combine its expertise with its affiliated entities, including Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, to provide state-of-the-art care for infants and children in Chicago, the Midwest and beyond for many years to come."
The new hospital will be located between Chicago Avenue and Superior

WASHINGTON, May 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As part of its Distinguished Americans series, the U.S. Postal Service released a new 76 cent stamp today that honors Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau (1848-1915), the founder and first president of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, the precursor to the American Lung Association. Dr. Trudeau dedicated his life to researching and treating tuberculosis, a highly infectious disease that at one time killed one in seven people in the U.S.
Tuberculosis is also known as the White Plague or TB, and in the late 1800s, doctors did not know its cause, how to treat patients or prevent transmission of the disease. Dr. Trudeau himself contracted TB after caring for his ill brother, and moved to the Adirondacks, where he recovered. There he founded the first research laboratory dedicated to TB and helped patients recover with "open-air" treatments, promoting the treatment and containment of the disease through fresh air, rest, nourishment and a positive attitude.
"Dr. Trudeau was a true pioneer who led a public health movement and remained focused on the ideal that we can overcome a disease through coordinated research, education and advocacy," said Bernadette Toomey, President and CEO, American Lung Association.
Under Dr. Trudeau's leadership, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis spearheaded research, launched the first-ever public health campaigns to halt the spread of TB, and fought for the establishment of local public health departments. Ultimately, research breakthroughs led to the first effective drug treatment for TB in the mid-1950s, resulting in a dramatic change in our nation's public health.
"America has many reasons to celebrate Dr. Trudeau and his
contributions to our country," said Toomey. "The American Lung Association
continues to honor his legacy by investing in research on asthma, COPD,
lung cancer, TB, and m

The Cottage in the Woods
by Katherine Coville
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Amount Listened to: About 9%
Honestly, I picked this up solely because Katherine Kellgren is a fantastic narrator. Plus, it's fairy tales, so why not? Even if the cover really freaks me out.
The fact that it's Katherine Kellgren narrating actually ended up being the kiss of death for me, not because she's doing any less of a good job. The problem is that this is about an ursine governess going to a house to educate a kid. I've been listening to The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place series, about a governess who goes to a house to raise three children. The stories end up feeling the same, because a lot of the voices she chooses match up. Only now they're all animals. I don't have interest in trying the print, so I bid this book adieu.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0385755732, Hardcover)For fans of Shannon Hale, Adam Gidwitz, and Michael Buckley comes a luminous new twist on a tale readers only thought they knew. . .
Once upon a time, there was a girl with golden locks. But that's just the beginning of this tale. The real story begins with a bear.
Ursula is a young she-bear who has come to work as a governess at the Vaughn estate. Although she is eager to instruct her young charge, Teddy, she is also frightened, especially when inexplicable things happen in the huge house after dark. Ursula is sure she has heard footsteps in the hallways at night, and that something is following her during her walks in the Enchanted Forest. Then there is Mr. Bentley, a young bear also employed by Mr. Vaughn, whose superior disposition is enough to drive Ursula to tears . . . and yet why does he also make her heart race? As Ursula works to unravel the mysteries of the Vaughn manor, she will have to be very, very careful. After all, true love, justice, and a girl with golden locks are at stake. And in the Enchanted Forest, not every fairy tale is destined for a happily ever after.
