Full day training course offered at The UX Conference New York City
Information Architecture
Organize and structure information to improve findability and discoverability
Course Date: March 17, 2013
The Information Architecture (IA), or organization, of a website or application is critical, because it determines whether or not users are successful in finding desired information and completing tasks. This course introduces the core components of a good IA, as well as essential IA design methods and strategies.
"In just one day, this course provided me with actionable items I will use to both improve and add onto the IA of my company's website. The course also gave me a new perspective on how to analyze my website and the most important aspects I should focus on improving."

I've started keeping a ride journal. It's a silly thing, I know, but it helps me gather the ideas that pop into my head on my morning commute (during my evening commute I always have the same idea in my head, I hope there's beer in the fridge). Today I wrote the following:
A dog and a unicyclist tried to kill me today. I don't think the attempts were related. In the end, neither case was a very close call, but, for everyone's sake, leash your dogs and unicyclists please.

By using the hello world example, setting modal:true, the page always jumps to the top.
Is this a bug? When i use the photobox example from the YUI team, i don't have this problem w/ their "Mask".
Same behavior in IE and FF.
is this a bug?

There one change in css that fixes it. That change is in SVN. If you can't grab, just add this in your css somewhere after the yui-ext css:
body.masked { overflow:auto; }
In the css in SVN it doesn't touch the overflow.

Women's Soccer Releases 2014 Spring SlateJanuary 17, 2014
ANDERSON, S.C. – After falling just short of earning a berth into the South Atlantic Conference Tournament in 2013, Anderson University women's soccer has released its 2014 spring schedule, capped off by the second annual Alumni Game on April 12.
The Trojans open their spring slate with a trip to Southern Wesleyan on March 19th at 7 p.m. The Warriors struggled in 2013, finishing the year with a 3-13-1 record, but claimed a 3-1 win over Division II opponent Erskine early on in the season.
Following the trip to Central, AU hits the road once again to Spartanburg for a round-robin tournament with Division I opponent USC Upstate and Spartanburg Methodist on March 22. Upstate is coming off a 4-11-3 record in 2013, but captured a key Atlantic Sun victory over Jacksonville, 1-0, on Oct. 18. SMC closed the fall season with an 11-5-3 overall record, highlighted by a five-match winning streak to begin the season, outscoring its opponents 26-1 in the span. The Pioneers closed the year falling on penalty kicks to Louisburg in the NJCAA Region X Tournament semifinals.
On March 29, the Trojans will take part in the Carolina Elite Soccer Academy College Round Robin at CESA's Mesa Soccer Complex in Greenville that will feature Division I and II teams from across the area. The opponents for the day will be determined closer to the day of the tournament.
Anderson's spring slate comes to close on April 5 when its hosts North Greenville at 11 a.m. The Crusaders finished the year 7-10 overall and were eliminated from the Conference Carolinas Tournament by Barton in the opening round.
Following the spring schedule, the team welcomes past alumni to Trojan Stadium for the second annual Alumni Game. The festivities are set to begin at 2 p.m.

Palladino: Overlook the Raiders at your peril
TORRINGTON -- For those who dared believe that Torrington High wasn't going to be in this thing, you had better change your point of view.
The Raiders ran off to an early 10-2 lead and held off one of the Naugatuck Valley League's preseason favorites, Naugatuck, 38-28, in girls basketball Friday at the Donahue Gymnasium.
Torrington (2-0) simply did things better than Naugatuck (1-1). Megan Calabrese grabbed 11 rebounds, scored six points and kept Naugy's Amy Dietz (nine boards, four points) from being a low-post factor.
Torrington committed only 12 turnovers and took advantage of a sloppy first quarter by Naugy as the Greyhounds turned the ball over 10 times.
Torrington also played solid defense. A key for Naugy was the loss of Steph Lima in the game's first minute. She picked up two early fouls and sat for the entire first half. Once back, Lima never found her rhythm or her touch, in no small part due to the defensive play of Nicole Kozlak. Lima scored only four points and grabbed only one offensive rebound.
"They're a good team at crashing the boards," Calabrese said, "and that was a main focus."
Torrington coach Mike Fritch agreed.
"What (Calabrese) did well was she kept Dietz off the boards, and she scored a couple of nice baskets for us," Fritch said. "I thought that was a big difference."
Naugatuck, usually, will beat you on the boards. Dietz will
See RAIDERS, Page 5C
crash and Lima will score on a load of put-backs. Calabrese was effective against Dietz, and Lima wasn't on the floor.
"She is one of our leaders," guard Angelina Piccirillo said of Lima. "She would have helped us a lot. We wouldn't have been down 10. We really needed her out there."
Except for Piccirillo (14 points, four rebounds, three steals), who scored all eight of Naugy's third-quarter points, no one in garnet and gray was particularly noteworthy.
"We all had an off game," Piccirillo said. "We were trying to get the ball into the post, and it wasn't working. And the guards were trying to do everything and that didn't work. It wasn't one of our better games."
Torrington, though, generously offered the Greyhounds an opening. The Raiders were a woeful 7-of-21 from the free throw line, and Naugatuck pulled with four points, 28-24, with six minutes to play when Lima scored her only two buckets of the game, back to back on a rebound and a drive.
That was when the Raiders had their best possessions of the evening. Caroline Teti (eight points, four steals) and Mika Howard scored on cuts to the hoop, Calabrese added a put-back bucket and with a minute left Kozlak hit her third 3-pointer of the night to clinch it.
"We attacked their defense really well," Kozlak said. "We knew they'd come out and press. They have a strong defense, and we knew we had to move the ball and get it inside."
Fritch praised Teti for settling the Raiders down offensively and Paige Middleton (seven points) for her work defensively on Piccirillo.
"It was not pretty," Fritch said, "but it was still a W."
And W's are always pretty.

Public Safety & Emergency Preparedness Home > Clery Report, Log, and Policy > Timely Warning of Crime
The Assistant Vice President in charge of the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness (DPSEP) or his designee, develop Campus Safety Notice messages for the University community, in coordination with University Communications, to notify members of the University community about crimes that occur on campus, where it is determined that the incident may pose an ongoing threat to members of the University community. The Campus Safety Notice message will be launched by the Assistant Vice President, DPSEP. In the absence of the DPSEP Assistant Vice President, the DPSEP Assistant Director - Field Operations, Emergency Preparedness Coordinator, or Assistant Director - Administration will launch the notice. In the event these individuals are occupied with the emergency situation or are otherwise unavailable, the Campus Safety Notice message will be launched by the Assistant Vice President, University Communications, with input from DPSEP. In his absence, the notice will be launched by the Director, University Communications-Medical Center, or the Communications Officer-University Communications. The Campus Safety Notice will include information that will promote safety and will aid in the prevention of similar crimes. The decision to issue a Campus Safety Notification is made on a case-by-case basis considering the validity of the information about the crime reported to DPSEP, facts surrounding a crime, the nature of the crime, continuing danger to the campus community, and risk of compromising law enforcement efforts.
Campus Safety Notices are usually disseminated for the following FBI Uniform Crime Report/National Incident Based Reporting System Classifications: arson, criminal homicide, sex offenses (forcible rape, forcible sodomy, sexual assault with an object, forcible fondling, incest, and statutory rape), robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, and hate crimes. Cases of aggravated assault and sex offenses are considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on the facts of the case, and the information known to DPSEP. For example, if an aggravated assault occurs between two students who have a disagreement, there may be no ongoing threat to other members of the University community; therefore, a Campus Safety Notice would not be disseminated. Sexual assaults are considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on the facts of the case, when and where the incident occurred, when it was reported, and the amount of information known by DPSEP.
In an effort to provide timely notice to the University community, and in the event of a serious incident which may pose a threat to members of the University community, an email Campus Safety Notice is sent to all students, faculty and staff.
Updates to the University community about any particular case resulting in a Campus Safety Notice may be distributed via email, may be posted on the DPSEP website, or may be shared with UNews and Newslink. The University may not provide timely warnings about those crimes reported to a pastoral or professional counselor.

The Healthy Reader: Listen Up, Doc
When Doctors Don't Listen: How to Avoid Misdiagnoses and Unnecessary Tests
Leana Wen, M.D. and Joshua Kosowsky, M.D.
Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin's Press, $25.99
When it comes to diagnosing illness, doctors may turn a deaf ear to some of the most critical information: what the patient has to say.
In "When Doctors Don't Listen," authors Leana Wen and Joshua Kosowsky, emergency physicians at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston and Harvard University, urge patients to assert their voice. They warn that "a health care crisis is not the time to keep your mouth shut," but rather a critical time to speak up and be your own advocate.
One in 20 hospitalized patients will die because of misdiagnosis, studies cited in the book show. Far more patients suffer because they never find out what is wrong with them, according to studies the authors cite.
The authors blame "cookbook medicine," a fixed approach to diagnosis that focuses on a patient's chief complaint and ruling out the worse-case scenario. Reliance on diagnostic protocols was initially intended to standardize medical practice and provide a consistent level of care, Drs. Wen and Kosowsky say. But it can result in doctors treating patients with a rigid, one-size-fits-all formula that may miss what is really going on.
The art of medicine, by contrast, relies on spending time with patients to take an accurate medical history, listening to all their symptoms and concerns and using common sense. During medical training, that art can get lost in the demands of mastering the science. Taught to think in certain "pathways," doctors may "anchor" on a diagnosis, and it can be hard to get them to change course.
The authors acknowledge that there are other factors at play. The medical-reimbursement system rewards lots of testing. Fear of malpractice suits leads doctors to practice defensive medicine. Paradoxically, the authors say, the consumer movement in health care encourages patients to request "the latest and greatest" tests and screening even when they aren't medically necessary, further encouraging doctors to order more rather than focus on the relationship with the patient.
What's more, in today's resource-crunched medical system, doctors often have little time with patients to tease out every detail, especially in chaotic emergency departments, the authors say, making it all the more important for patients to be up front.
To illustrate how things go awry, the authors offer anecdotes from their own emergency rooms, such as doctors who focused on cardiac issues for a woman who has fainted, when listening more carefully to her complaints might have quickly uncovered the real problem: a dangerous infection in her gall bladder.
They provide a wealth of tips at the end of each chapter for patients to help doctors arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
The Doc Talk
The authors suggest some strategies and tips to help your doctor correctly identify a medical problem:
Beware when the diagnosis doesn't make sense to you.
If you are asked a yes or no question by the doctor, feel free to elaborate.
As you are telling your story, ask what the doctor is thinking.
Make it clear early on that you expect to be a partner in the diagnostic process.
If your primary concern wasn't addressed in the exam, be sure to bring it up again.
—Laura Landro

Have people been able to bring their (folding) trekking poles onto planes? We're flying without checked-in baggage (on Wizz Air, from Europe to Israel). We've paid for "two large cabin bags", and the poles fit inside them. I'm not asking for promises, obviously, but does anyone have any anecdotal evidence whether this is allowed or not?
For USA to Canada flights, I have seen hiking poles being accepted (after a bit of explaining..) and refused (WestJet). If they are refused, you may be asked to go back to the luggage section which may end up making you or your poles miss the flight.
In my experience it seems to vary on the carrier and the person performing the inspection. Because of these variables (and I sometimes use fixed length poles) I generally prefer not having my poles as carry on.
I think it will be entirely random, depending on the airline, the airport and the individual security people who x-ray your bag. I've had climbing gear rejected and put into the hold one one trip, and then next time, accepted - same airport, same airline, just different day :)
At UK airports you are not allowed to take them into the cabin. They must be in the hold. You wont get them through security and they confiscate them, whatever airline you are on.
This is definitely up to the Pilot, some Pilots may accept it but others won't take you on board, except you pay/get another seat. I'd better check it in if you want to avoid uncomfortable situations

That will be FM10. Presumably Harchester is either a user-created download or qweasd222 has edited them in himself. Harchester come with the game properly in FM06, but you would still have to edit them into a playable league to control them. Soccer AM's team come with FM05 fwiw.
Was thinking of signing these two just to have Bogy Man in my side.
........you're joking?
Hmmm... So they struggle against the most common formation and concede early goals... Surely they can't be doing well...
Ah... Yep.
I'm sure the manager would have got the sack for that...

Yes, he had a good game, but a 10.0?! It seems "virtual" games are still not perfect.
Er, no!
Thought that was a bit harsh... Accused of diving, but went off injured.
Indeed, he's not interested in moving to Fulham. He went down all the way to London to do an interview. Hm...
Agents are filthy characters, always causing trouble. This one is no exception!
He's not heard of telephones or even emails...

There we have it. After 3 years and 10 months of searching, Nicolas Otamendi has decided that not a single player in the entire world would be good enough for my midtable Premiership side. If he doesn't become a scout when he retires, I'll be amazed.
Wang Gang - Not just one of them, this guy is a whole gang. :P
Look like van der Ende took his name too literally and put an end to the game
Another silly name but this one really got me earlier
Yes, I guess they didn't score as many as they maybe would have liked. That's just a maybe though.
Not so funny but rather interesting I thought. He's got a pretty good choice of who to play for.

Not a lot of signings this season, then.
Check out who scores the late equalizing goal for Liverpool in minute 90+4, before Liverpool go on to beat Man U. Eat your hearts out Manure fans!
Sir Ferguson would have a heart-attack if this happened in real life.
Well, maybe he is, maybe he isn't...
Doesn't really make a lot of sense now, does it?
I did't know a dog could be a professional footballer although it's quite hyperactive

WEIRDOOOOO monkey baboon thing
There is not a baby animal that is'nt cute. This lil' one is much more so, with its direct gaze into human eyes. What a wonderful picture, and one cannot help but love the subject . Who most likely saw the first human in his life, and gave him a curious, 'eyes wide open' look. j.e.s.
Very cute and just simply feeling safe with his moms protection.
So beautiful. Almost haunting.
Do you see a sadness in the baby's eyes?
"Baby baboon". The four 'b' consonants give those two words an appealing sound.
The shadow around the illuminated little face draws one's attention to the dark, glistening pools of those inquiring eyes.
Quote: For a long time we made eye contact, and after a while I realized that it wasn't me studying him, it was him studying me."
The eyes say so much and the grasping hand, fingers so much like our own, impart a gentle and intense awareness of the moment.
eye contact. great

The rules say you can have more than one builder on a road or in a city, so what happens when a city is completed and it has a follower and builder of one person and a big follower and builder of another person? Does the builder count as a follower or do you only count the other normal followers?
Board & Card Games Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people who like playing board games, designing board games or modifying the rules of existing board games. Join them; it only takes a minute:

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Builders (and Pigs) are not followers and are not counted when calculating a majority.
In your case, the city would be scored for the owner of the big follower.
Originally, builders and pigs were followers but this was changed a while back. Rio Grande Games adopted this rule upon the release of the Big Box Edition.

Makes 1 lb of dough
- 1.5 cups (7.5oz/235g) all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (2oz/60g) cake and pastry flour (or more all purpose)
- scant 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 lb (250g) cold margarine or vegetable shortening (I like a 50:50 mix)
- 1/2 cup (4oz/125ml) ice cold water
1. Whisk together flour(s) and salt.
2. Use a pastry cutter to cut the fat into the flour. There should be largish chunks of fat visible--don't cut it down too much.
4. Turn dough out onto a well floured surface. Flour the top of the dough.
7. Wrap dough in plastic wrap or waxed paper and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before using.
As you can see, I am back blogging. Life is still busy here, but I really missed creating and posting new recipes. I have all the wonderful people I met at the Atlanta VegFest to thank for getting me back in the Vegan Dad groove. I was amazed that so many people knew who Vegan Dad was, still loved the blog, still followed the Facebook page, and who still (despite the explosion of vegan blogs and cookbooks in the past few years) wanted me to post new recipes. I also had the great fortune to eat lunch and dinner with Isa in Athens (thanks, Janet!). She has been a supporter of the blog since the very beginning and is a source of vegan inspiration. So, I'm back. I'll probably only get a few posts off a month until the book manuscript is in (not a cookbook, I am sorry to say). Thanks for sticking with me, and let's eat some good food!

When I was a kid there was a show that I really liked on TV, but I can't remember its name.
It was about a little boy who had planted video cameras all over the house and the recordings were used to recreate what happened to him during the episode. The catch was that he edited these recordings before showing them so instead of seeing him being yelled at by his father, there were some cartoonish effects and sounds added (something like smoke coming out of his fathers years).
This show is probably old, since I've seen it over 10-15 years ago. It was in English, but it might not have been an US TV show.

Die Hard Marathon for $25
I know this isn't available everywhere, but if you are a true Die Hard fan, you will make the pilgrimage to the closest theater. You get over 10 hours of John McClane!!! You also get great discounts at the snack bar. But you will have to be prepared to spend 12 hours in the theater.
10 Comments add a comment
$2 hot dogs, plus deals on popcorn and soda. Too bad no theaters near me. Although I would think that after 12 hours your butt would be pretty sore.
YIPPIE KAY YAY MOTHER Film lovers.
@ptucker2: Thank you
Horrible experience, no thanks. I can enjoy myself at home for the same price, keep the blu-rays to watch again and have whatever I want to eat.
on a wednesday!?!
Buy ticket.
Watch first movie.
Try to get refund on remaining movies.
They should at least have a showing in every city where a movie takes place. I don't see one for Washington D.C. (Die Hard 4) nor Sterling VA (Dulles Airport; Die Hard 2)
AMC has it in DC and NYC.
@bruf, Die Hard 2 was an ok movie and Vengeance was amazing. Live Free or Die Hard was a dog, but not unwatchable. You're not cool for not liking the sequels, because compared to other movie franchises, Die Hard has maintained consistency better than others.
seriously, starting a noon on a wednesday?? i was interested at first, but i'm not taking a day off work for it.

Injury Prevention Service
The mission of the Injury Prevention Service is to improve the health of Oklahomans by working in collaboration with communities and stakeholders to identify injury problems, then developing, implementing, and evaluating environmental modifications, policy, and educational interventions.
Reportable Injuries and Health Conditions
Statewide surveillance data are collected by Injury Prevention Service staff from hospitals, burn centers, death certificates, and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. The program utilizes other government agencies (fire departments, public safety, law enforcement, etc.) to provide supplemental data regarding circumstances resulting in injury as well as specific injury prevention expertise.
The Injury Prevention Service currently collects surveillance data on the following hospitalized or fatal injuries:
The programmatic efforts of the Injury Prevention Service have primarily targeted causes of death and disability from unintentional (accidental) injuries, including motor vehicle crashes, house fires, occupational fatalities, falls, and all-terrain vehicle crashes. Educational efforts have also addressed violence and intentional causes of injury, including sexual violence prevention, intimate partner violence, suicide, and homicide.
The Injury Prevention Service has been successful in maintaining statewide surveillance for reportable injuries and using the surveillance data to develop, implement, and evaluate prevention programs. A large house fire injury prevention effort in south Oklahoma City resulted in an 80% reduction in the rate per population of injuries during the four years following the program, while the rest of Oklahoma City had a 7% increase in the rate of injury. For every $1 spent on the program, $20 was saved in preventing injury, death, lost productivity costs, and other costs associated with these events. Following implementation of car seat programs in targeted communities, car seat use increased in all of the project communities. Additionally, there are documented instances where programs developed by the Injury Prevention Service have saved lives.

A: See "Opioid Prescribing Guidelines" under Related Topics below, or click on Unintentional Poisoning on the left. Q: I coach a kids' sports team. What do I need to know about concussions?
A: A concussion is a traumatic brain injury and can happen in any sport to any player--even kids. Learn how to prevent, recognize, and respond to a concussion. Follow the link below and Take Concussions Out of Play. Q: What does Oklahoma law say about child car seat use.
A: The Oklahoma Child Restraint Law requires that all children 0-5 years of age be buckled in a car seat; children 6 years of age are required to use a car seat or seat belt. Q: Why do I need a smoke alarm?
A: In only 3 1/2 minutes, the heat from a house fire can reach over 1100 degrees. Fire produces fumes that can make you sleepy, weak, and confused. You can't smell these fumes, so if you are asleep, the smell won't wake you -- but a smoke alarm will.

Spring brings government budgets and taxes. And as with Spring, sometimes budgets come later than expected. Taxes, however, are always on schedule.
The Administration released its proposed Fiscal Year 2014 Budget on Wednesday, April 10th and Treasury published the accompanying General Explanations, commonly referred to as the "Green Book," immediately thereafter. Both arrived later than expected. The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 requires Congress to write a budget each year and instructs the President to submit a proposal for consideration by the first Monday of February (February 4th this year).
The House of Representatives Budget Committee previously released its fiscal year 2014 budget resolution, "The Path to Prosperity: A Responsible Balanced Budget." The Senate Finance Committee also previously released its fiscal year 2014 budget resolution, "Foundations for Growth: Restoring the Promise of American Opportunity." The Administration's budget proposal and Congress' resolutions are more than numbers on a page to balance (or not). They reflect policy priorities, with expenditures funded by tax revenue. Congress has commenced hearings on the Administration's 2014 budget proposal and we anticipate that the conversations will be ongoing in the weeks and months ahead. In this Tax News we highlight a number of the Administration's proposals of particular interest for individual income and wealth transfer tax planning.
The Administration's Budget
The Administration projects its budget will reduce the deficit by an additional $4.3 trillion over the next 10 years—in line with the non-partisan Bowles-Simpson Commission's recommended figure for deficit reduction. Based on current Administration estimates the effect would be to lower the deficit to 2.8 percent of the U.S. economy by 2016, and further to 1.7 percent by 2023.
Chained Consumer Price Index
Numerous federal tax provisions and government benefits are regularly adjusted for inflation. The type of provision and how the inflation adjustment is calculated can have a significant impact on tax revenue and government expenditures, particularly over extended periods. Presently adjustments are made based on the consumer price index (CPI). The Administration proposes to substitute what is referred to as "chained CPI" for CPI. The Congressional Budget Office projects that the chained CPI will increase at an average annual rate 0.25 percentage points less than CPI.
The effect of using chained CPI to compute changes in individual income tax brackets over time would be to cause increased amounts of income to be taxed in higher tax brackets, thus increasing tax revenue. On the government expense side, benefits such as Social Security would be adjusted at a lower rate, thus slowing the rate of growth.
Tax-Preferred Retirement Accounts
Tax-preferred retirement accounts such as 401(k) plans and individual retirement accounts (IRAs) are a common means of saving for retirement. The 2014 proposed budget contains multiple provisions affecting tax-preferred retirement accounts including automatic employee enrollment in IRAs, elimination of required distribution rules for small IRA balances, required inherited beneficiary distribution payments over no more than 5 years and a limit on the total accrual of tax-favored retirement benefits.
The proposal seeks to encourage retirement savings by requiring "payroll deduction IRAs" to be provided by employers in business for at least two years that have more than 10 employees if the employer does not sponsor a qualified retirement plan, SEP or SIMPLE for employees. The objective is to increase the rate of employee participation in retirement savings even if the employer does not sponsor a plan. Similar automatic enrollment requirements (requiring an election by an employee to opt out) for employer sponsored qualified retirement plans under the Pension Protection Act of 2006 were effective to substantially increase employee participation in retirement savings.
Individuals are generally required to receive "required minimum distributions" from qualified retirement plans and IRAs shortly after attaining age 70-1/2, in order to prevent ongoing tax-free build-up of accounts. For purposes of simplification, the proposal exempts individuals from the minimum required distribution requirements if the aggregate value of the individual's traditional IRA, Roth IRA and tax-favored retirement plan accumulations does not exceed $75,000 (indexed for inflation).
Conversely, the proposal generally limits the timeframe within which an individual is required to take inherited distributions from a qualified retirement plan or IRA to no more than 5 years. Presently, the rules with respect to inherited distributions to a beneficiary vary depending on the age of the deceased owner and the identity of the beneficiary. In some circumstances distributions may be extended over the life expectancy of the beneficiary. Under the proposal, non-spouse beneficiaries would be required to take distributions over no more than 5 years, subject to certain exceptions for "eligible beneficiaries," including, for example, a child who has not attained the age of majority or a disabled or chronically ill person.
In addition, the proposal limits accumulations in tax-preferred accounts to approximately $3.4 million. Under present law there are limitations on the amounts that may be contributed to retirement accounts and requirements with respect to distributions, but there is no limit on total account balances. The proposed limit, determined at the end of the year, is the amount necessary to provide the maximum benefit permitted under a tax-qualified defined benefit plan under current law. At present, the maximum annuity is $205,000 for a joint and 100% survivor annuity beginning at age 62 (or the equivalent of an accumulation of approximately $3.4 million). Once the maximum is reached, no additional contributions may be made or accruals received, but the balance could continue to grow with investment performance and income. Any additional contributions or accruals would be included in current income, with a grace period to withdraw any excess.
Income Taxes
There was much discussion of revenue raising in the negotiations leading up to and culminating in the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ATRA). Although the ATRA income tax rate provisions are "permanent," meaning they are not scheduled to sunset on a date certain, the proposed budget seeks to again increase tax revenue from high-income taxpayers, using a dual approach – capping the value of certain "tax expenditures" at 28% and imposing a new "Fair Share Tax."
"Tax expenditures" include personal exemptions, deductions and exclusions. Personal exemptions and certain itemized deductions are subject to phase-outs for high-income taxpayers in 2013. In addition, various items are currently excluded from income altogether, including tax-exempt state and local bond interest, contributions to qualified defined contribution plans and IRAs, and employer-sponsored health insurance paid for by employers or with pre-tax employee dollars. The proposal limits the value of the tax benefit of specified itemized deductions and exclusions to 28%. The proposed 28% limitation on itemized deductions would be applied after the current phase-out. Note that limiting the value of deductions and exclusions to 28% only impacts the 33%, 35% and 39.6% income tax brackets, and in those brackets, reduces, but does not eliminate, tax savings associated with these items.
The proposal also includes for the first time the much discussed "Buffett Rule" imposing a new Fair Share Tax (FST) on high-income taxpayers. The FST is 30% of adjusted gross income, with a credit for charitable contributions. The threshold for the FST is $1 million of adjusted gross income ($500,000 for married filing separately) and the FST is fully phased in at $2 million ($1 million for married filing separately), with each level being indexed for inflation.
Modification of the income taxation of carried (profits) interests of partners in investment partnerships is again suggested in the proposal. Under current law a partner may receive an interest in future profits of a partnership in exchange for services. Part or all of the associated income may be characterized as capital gain and taxed to the partner accordingly. Under the proposal, a partner's share of income from an "investment services partnership interest" (ISP) in an "investment partnership" would be taxed as ordinary income, even if its character at the partnership level is capital gain. Ordinary income tax rates will apply and the income will be subject to self-employment tax.
Summary of Income Tax Proposals
Gift, Estate and Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax Provisions
Restore the Tax Parameters in Effect in 2009
ATRA "permanently" unified the estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer taxes, while maintaining portability of a spouse's unused exclusion amount at death. Pursuant to ATRA, the highest marginal transfer tax rate is 40% and the applicable exclusion and exemption amounts for gift, estate and GST tax purposes remains unified at $5 million, adjusted annually for inflation from 2010 ($5.25 million in 2013).
The Administration seeks, beginning in 2018, to make permanent the estate, GST and gift tax parameters as they applied in 2009. If enacted, the proposal would make the top marginal tax rate 45%, and the exclusion amount would be $3.5 million for estate and GST taxes and $1 million for gift tax purposes, without indexing, but with estate tax exclusion portability.
Consistency in Value for Transfer and Income Tax Purposes
Gift and estate taxes are determined based on the fair market value of the property transferred. And, although the determination of the basis of the property received by the donee or beneficiary differs depending on whether the transfer was by gift during life or at death (and if a gift, whether or not the property is appreciated and whether or not the donee pays any part of the gift tax), in all circumstances determination of fair market value is necessary. While the same valuation standards apply to donors and estates when the transfers are reported for gift and estate tax purposes and for donees and beneficiaries in determining their basis in the property received, there is currently no explicit consistency and associated reporting requirement. Therefore, the potential exists that the respective values will be reported differently by donors and estates and by donees and beneficiaries. In order to avoid any irregularities, the proposal requires consistency in valuation and reporting of valuation by donors and estates to donees, beneficiaries and the Internal Revenue Service.
Minimum and Maximum Term for Grantor Retained Annuity Trusts (GRATs)
The proposal requires the minimum term for a GRAT to be ten years and the maximum term to be the life of the expectancy of the annuitant plus ten years. This proposal has appeared in a number of prior proposed budgets, but has yet to progress through Congress. Thus, planning with GRATs remains an effective strategy at present, particularly in light of the inflation-adjusted increases to the applicable exclusion amount – $130,000 in 2013 (the increase from $5.12 million in 2012 to $5.25 million in 2013), $260,000 for a married couple.
Limit Duration of GST Tax Exemption
Many states currently allow trusts created subject to the law of those jurisdictions to continue in perpetuity. As a result, the transfer tax shield provided by the GST exemption effectively has been expanded from trusts funded with $1 million (the exemption at the time of enactment of the GST law) and a maximum duration specified by law, to trusts funded with $5.25 million and continuing (and growing) in perpetuity.
The proposal provides that, on the 90th anniversary of the creation of a trust, the GST exclusion allocated to the trust would terminate. However, the proposal provides an exception intended to permit an incapacitated beneficiary's distribution to continue to be held in trust without incurring GST tax on distributions to the beneficiary as long as the trust is to be used for the sole benefit of the beneficiary and any trust balance remaining on the beneficiary's death will be included in the beneficiary's gross estate for Federal estate tax purposes. The other rules regarding the taxation of multiple skips would continue to apply, and would be relevant in determining when a taxable distribution or taxable termination occurs after the 90th anniversary of the trust.
Coordination of Certain Income and Transfer Tax Rules Applicable to Grantor Trusts
The grantor trust income tax rules are separate and independent from the gift, estate and GST tax rules, but may be used under current law to establish what is commonly referred to as an "intentionally defective grantor trust," treated as owned by the grantor for income tax purposes, but considered a completed gift for gift, estate and GST tax purposes. Transactions between the trust and the deemed owner are ordinarily ignored for income tax purposes.
The proposal applies generally to any person who is deemed to be an owner of the trust and who engages in a sale, exchange, or comparable transaction with the trust that would have been subject to capital gains tax if the person had not been a deemed owner of the trust. The portion of the trust attributable to the property received by the trust in the transaction will be subject to estate tax as part of the gross estate of the deemed owner, will be subject to gift tax during life when the deemed owner status is terminated, and will be treated as a gift to the extent of a distribution to another person during the deemed owner's lifetime, subject to reductions for consideration received and any prior taxable gift treatment.
GST Tax Treatment of Health and Education Exclusion Trusts
Under the Internal Revenue Code, certain payments made directly by a donor to a qualified medical provider or educational institution on behalf of another are not subject to gift or GST tax. Thus, for example, a grandparent may make medical expense or tuition payments for a grandchild free of gift or GST tax. Health and Education Exclusion Trusts (HEETS) have been used to place property in trust in order to fund the medical and tuition expenses of younger generations. Amounts contributed to HEETS have the potential to appreciate in value, while avoiding estate, gift, and GST taxation when distributions are made for qualified medical or tuition expenses. The proposal clarifies that the exclusion from the GST tax applies only to a payment by a living donor directly to the medical provider or to a school for tuition – not to trust distributions, even if distributions are used for the same purposes.
Summary of Gift, Estate and Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax Proposals
More to Come
If the experience of the 112th Congress in 2012 is an indicator, there will be much debate by the 113th Congress in 2013 before we have any budget consensus and related tax legislation. As in 2012, we will continue to follow the developments as they unfold, and will provide ongoing updates throughout the remainder of 2013. The path from budget proposal to tax legislation is often circuitous, with many proposals failing to advance and others undergoing substantial modification in the legislative process.

For All Spinning® Enthusiasts
Preventative Spinning
05/06/2011 9:12 pm
Travel season is upon us. Freedom from the school year that dictates much of the rhythms of our day and of our year and great weather and holidays means we get to spend....well...honestly, hours and hours in cars, bus terminals, flight lounges and on flights themselves. Much of the time we don't get a lot of choice on our departure days and times, but I urge you to factor your travels in around your opportunities to Spin. Takes a little planning, but it is so worth it - especially if it is a "long haul" distance. When ever I fly to the U.S. I schedule my departure on Saturdays around noon time. This allows me to do the Saturday morning SpinningShare

Orange and Bourbon-Brined Barbecued Whole Turkey
Categories: Entertaining, On the Grill, Thanksgiving
Type: Main Dishes
Type: Main Dishes
Here's a Southern-style turkey that's great not just for Thanksgiving, but any time you have a crowd coming over.
Serves: Serves 6
- 1 gallon (4 liters) water
- 2 cups kosher salt
- 11/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup bourbon
- 2 oranges, sliced
The turkey
- 12-15lb (5.5-6.5kg) turkey, giblets removed
- Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 2 apples (variety of your choice), cored and quartered
- 1 red onion, peeled and quartered
- 3 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh sage
Save Recipe
Add to shopping list
- Combine the brine ingredients in a large container that the turkey will easily fit into, and stir to dissolve the salt and sugar. Rinse the turkey well inside and out, then place it in the container, making sure it is completely submerged in the brine. Refrigerate for 24-48 hours, turning every 12 hours.
- Light a fire well over to one side of your grill, using enough coals to fill a large shoebox. When the fire has died down and the coals are covered with white ash, remove the turkey from the brine and rinse it well, inside and out. Dry the bird with paper towels, sprinkle the cavity generously with pepper, and stuff it with the apples, onion, and sage.
- Place the turkey on the side of the grill away from the coals, being careful that none of the bird is directly over the coals. Put the lid on the grill with the vents open one-quarter of the way and cook, adding a handful of fresh charcoal about every 30 minutes, until the juices run clear when you pierce the thigh with a fork (21/2-3 hours). Turn the turkey around at least twice during this time, or more often if the side nearest the heat seems to be cooking too quickly. (To double-check doneness with a meat thermometer, insert it in the pit between the breast and leg; when the thermometer reads 160°F/71°C, the bird is done.)
- Remove the bird from the grill, cover it loosely with foil, and allow it to rest for at least 15 minutes. Discard the apples and onions and carve it up.

It's the night before your mastectomies.
I'm sitting on the end of the bed.
(We got the faded-orange-curtain-40-watt-lightbulb-
green-chenille-bedspread room.)
From the shower,
you suddenly loom over me,
smelling of peppermint soap and wet leaves
around the lake in the fall.
Holding a breast in each hand,
as if restraining the flight of doves,
you press them to my face and erupt into tears.
I touch my lips to one, then the other,
falter at the scent of my self -
the joyful signature of my fingers and hands.
I pull your body hard to mine,
as if to hurt will help to heal.
The room fades in and out like a bad radio.
The baseboard heater tick tick ticks.
Outside, the helicopter walloping on the roof
lowers a burned child,
stars explode across the night,
volcanoes rise from the ocean floor,
wobble the earth on its axis.
Except for our breathing,
we dare not move.
