How to Have a More Meaningful Holiday Season
Dear Annie & Doug,
Christmas is fast approaching, and I would love some ideas to make the holiday - particularly the gift-giving part of it - more meaningful. —Uncle Scrooge, Toronto, Ontario
Dear Uncle Scrooge:
Christmas as a time of shopping mall madness and second mortgages has happened only in the last 50 years or so, since the advent of television. Even so, you might feel a bit too Grinch-ish declaring, "I'm done with all that. We can have a nice dinner, but no more of this gift nonsense."
Besides, there's nothing wrong with gifts. There's just something uncomfortable about turning an occasion for expressing your tender feelings into an indenture to the manufacturers of fad disposables.
If you're ready to stop being ground on the American Christmas wheel, some folks have pioneered the path to freedom.
If you think back on the gifts you cherish most, chances are they're ones that represent someone's time, attention, and creativity. That's what Ellen Twist of Salem, Oregon, found: She still treasures a scrapbook her father made collecting memories of her growing up.
"The time he spent meant so much more than something bought," Twist says.
She began looking for gifts that showed the same personal involvement as her father's scrapbook and that were also lighter on the Earth. One year, she planted tulips in her daughter's yard, then gave her daughter a map showing where the bulbs had been placed.
Last year, Twist's gift to all the folks on her list was to use her Christmas budget as prize money for a contest seeking the best nonconsumptive gift ideas. The local paper ran an article on the contest; she received more than 150 entries. Among her prize winners:
A couple who give their adult children time by cutting up a calendar, putting days in a jar, and letting them draw time as needed for babysitting and help with projects.
A woman who buys thrift-store towels, wraps them around sample-size toiletry articles, and donates them to homeless shelters.
Twist has collected all the contest entries in a pamphlet, "The Best Gifts Are Tied with Heartstrings," available free via e-mail at [email protected], or in hard copy for $1.00 from Creative Twist, 1007 Newport Rd. SE, Salem, OR 97306.
If the ideas from Twist's contest aren't enough, you can find more alternative gift ideas at the Center for a New American Dream's Web site: www.newdream.org/holiday/giftidea.php. Or check your library for Amy Dacyczyn's Tightwad Gazette collections, which include frugal gift suggestions.
For a comprehensive re-examination of the whole American Christmas phenomenon, read Unplug the Christmas Machine: A Complete Guide to Putting Love and Joy Back into the Season, by Jo Robinson and Jean Coppock Staeheli, or try Hundred Dollar Holiday: The Case for a Joyful Christmasby Bill McKibben.
The point is to move outside the American lockstep of Christmas as nothing more than a shopping extravaganza. Give what gifts you will. But for each, ask the question posed by Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin in Your Money or Life: "Is this expenditure of life energy in alignment with my values and life purpose?" For the gifts that come from your heart, the answer will be easy; the question may be a little harder to answer in the affirmative for gifts that come from the TV set.
Dear Annie & Doug,
Several of my coworkers in my unventilated office burn aromatherapy candles to reduce their stress levels. I am concerned about the toxic qualities of these candles, especially since the other night as I was leaving the office, I felt as if I had been inhaling smoke all day. If you can illuminate me on this subject, I will enlighten them. —Michelle Cox, via e-mail
Dear Michelle:
Unfortunately, you have unwittingly stumbled upon an emerging and serious air quality concern: soot from candles. The major culprits are scented and aromatherapy candles. I came across this problem because a friend found his office covered in soot after burning an aromatherapy candle, and his computer had to be completely overhauled because of soot damage!
One expert told me my friend was lucky his computer wasn't ruined. There is so much soot generated from burning certain candles that it is causing severe damage to many homes and furnishings, and homeowners are mistakenly suing their builders, furnace, and HVAC companies for improper installation of the systems.
Soot from candles can also be very toxic. Breathing soot is not recommended at all. The soot particles can travel deep into the lungs. Those with asthma, lung, or heart disease are particularly vulnerable. To make matters worse, most scented and aromatherapy candles are made with paraffin and fragrance oils. Paraffin is a petroleum product - a byproduct of oil refining - and most fragrance oils used for candle making are petroleum-based synthetics. The soot from these materials can contain carcinogens, neurotoxins, and reproductive toxins. Testing and air chamber analysis by the Environmental Protection Agency has found the following compounds, in significant quantity, in a random group of over 30 candles tested: acetone; benzene; trichlorofluoromethane; carbon disulfide; butanone; trichloroethane; carbon tetrachloride; carbon black (soot) particulate matter; trichlo-roethene ; tetrachloroethene; toluene; chlorobenzene; ethylbenzene; styrene; xylene; phenol; cresol; cyclopentene; and lead.
Besides these chemicals, Dr. Kaiss K. Al-Ahmady of Indoor Air Solutions, Inc. in Tampa, Florida, found in testing of over 20 candles that 30 percent of the metal wire wicks used contained lead.
The reason scented and aromatherapy candles are the usual culprits causing soot is that the fragrance oils are unsaturated hydrocarbons, and they soften the wax so that it doesn't burn cleanly. Container candles are even worse since the oxygen necessary for a clean burn doesn't reach the flame properly.
Diffusers are a safer way to practice aromatherapy, and they are available in most health food stores.
I read your suggestion in the fall issue of YES! for removing termites. Our house in the Pacific Northwest is riddled with carpenter ants. Are there ways to remove them without poison? —Carole Raymond, via e-mail
Dear Carole:
Carpenter ants differ from termites in that they have no notches in their back, but a smooth convex curve, and whereas termites have straight antennae, carpenter ants' antennae bend at a right angle.
First, you need to find and eradicate the nest. Seventy-five percent of these are found outside, near a source of moisture. Remove the nest, eliminate the source of moisture, and remove other potential places for the ants to nest, such as firewood stored against the house, and trees and shrubs that brush against the building.
Some of the methods for coping with termites apply to carpenter ants. Dessicating dusts such as diatomaceous earth (not pool grade) work well sprinkled around problem areas. Or search out a local exterminator that uses an Electro-Gun; this technique works for small infestations of carpenter ants.
Exterminators can lease this equipment, if they don't already own it, by contacting ETEX., Ltd. - 800/543-8894; Web: . A nontoxic method for larger areas (such as an entire home) that not only kills wood boring insects, but disinfects as well, is heat. Certain exterminators will heat the entire house until wood-core temperatures reach 130 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour. Thermal pest eradication reportedly doesn't cost more than a traditional exterminating expense, and it is available nationwide. One resource is Hydrex Pest Control - 800/750-3028.

Two senior officials from the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) have made several media appearances in the past couple of weeks, trying to defend golf courses blamed for enroaching on rice fields and creating social and environment problems.
In an online dialogue on March 16, Minister Bui Quang Vinh said golf courses themselves were not guilty of encroaching upon rice fields, forest areas and preventive forests.
Vinh said people had their reasons to protest the development of golf courses. However, the Government has made a decision to stop the development of the "problematic" golf courses.
"Golf courses will be only allowed to develop on sandy or fallow land, barren hills and in places that have really great potentials to develop tourism," said Vinh.
"Golf courses are blamed for taking arable land, making farmers jobless, and threatening national food security... However, the current situation is something different," said Hoang Ngoc Phong, deputy head of the MPI's Institute for Development Strategies.
Phong said in the master plan for development of golf courses by 2020, Viet Nam would have 90 golf courses located in 34 cities and provinces, each covering an average of 71 ha, mainly on infertile land.
According to MPI's figures, the total land area reserved for the 90 golf courses reaches 6,300ha, including 2 per cent of rice fields. No land that grows two-crops of rice a year has been set aside for golf courses, it claims.
In another online dialogue with the public on March 22, the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Cao Duc Phat, affirmed that land for agricultural production had been lost to projects like golf courses and industrial parks.
"Bad programming is to blame," said Vinh.
The problem is that the golf course developers have attempted to use the land area allocated for the golf course projects for doing real estate business. As such, the idea of developing a new kind of sports to satisfy the demand of tourists and foreign investors has been exploited for real estate trading.
Vinh said that in the time to come, relevant agencies would not only check the licensed golf courses, but also take tough measures against golf course projects that had been converted to real estate projects.
He believed that with the new strict regulations, golf course projects would be "cleaner" and in due course of time, "vindicated".
What all this means is still not very clear, because provincial authorities have been sending repeated requests to the Government for setting up more golf courses in their localities. According to the MPI, documents on 28 golf course projects have been sent to the ministry.
"There can be no common answer to all suggested golf course projects. The Government will consider every project before making a decision, while the MPI will take responsibility for examining the projects' feasibility," said Vinh.
"Golf courses are not guilty themselves. If they are set up in the right positions, they would be able to bring many benefits to people, because they can help attract tourists, create jobs and upgrade the living standards of people."
Phong said the number of programmed golf courses in Viet Nam was not too high compared with other countries in the region.
"Golf is a game for everybody, regardless of age. At present there are 7,000 to 8,000 Vietnamese golf players in the country," Phong told the Vietnam Investment Review.
The recent dialogues failed to address social and environmental problems caused by golf courses, including the use of fertilisers and pesticides and the contamination of groundwater resources, in any detail.
Provinces weigh industrial parks
City and provincial authorities are not sure exactly what Directive No 07 on enhancing the management and operational efficiency of economic zones and IPs issued by the Prime Minister on March 2, 2012 implies, because it contains a request to halt establishment of the new IPs.
Authorities in Long An Province are now worried about how to deal with unlicensed IP projects. According to the Long An IP Authority, the Government has approved the province's master plan to develop 30 IPs in the province, and so far the province has licensed 21.
Now the authorities are uncertain about licensing the remaining nine IPs while investors of the these projects wait for them.
Meanwhile, the Viet Nam-Singapore Industrial Park JV (VSIP) is still pursuing the project on developing a 1,000ha urban area, IP and service area in Quang Ngai Province, because, they argue, the project had been approved in principle as part of the Dung Quat EZ, and should not be considered a "œnew" IP project.
At a recent working session with the Quang Ngai provincial administration, the VSIP informed the latter that the IP project would start in the third quarter of 2012.
At the same time, the HCM City EPZ and IP Authority (HEPZA) has said it would license more IP projects located in areas reserved for the IP development programme approved by the Government earlier.
The Government has agreed to reserve 6,000 ha for IP development.
Meanwhile, to date, licensed projects cover 4,000 ha, meaning an area of 2,000 ha can still be used to establish more IPs.
HCM City now has three export processing zones (EPZs) and 12 IPs covering an area of 3,500 ha, and expects to set up seven more IPs, raising the total number of IPs in the city to 22.
Tougher measures
At least three provinces in Viet Nam announced in March tougher measures than usual, including revoking of licences, for delayed foreign-invested projects.
The latest announcement about these "strong measures" was made last week by Bac Giang Province.
"We will urge Foxconn to implement the project for infrastructure development of the Van Trung Industrial Park. If the investor further delays the implementation of the project, the licence granted to it will be revoked," said the director of the Bac Giang Department of Planning and Investment, Trinh Huu Thang.
On March 20, the Department of Planning and Investment in Hai Phong was urged by the city leadership to strengthen management of foreign-invested projects and to take stronger measures against delayed foreign-invested projects.
Earlier in March, Binh Dinh Province urged its departments to conduct an inspection of the foreign-invested projects, especically those that had been delayed.
"Binh Dinh is determined to revoke (licences for) delayed foreign-invested projects and transfer them to other investors who are more financially capable," said Deputy Director of the Binh Dinh Department of Planning and Investment Nguyen Van Dung.
These announcements followed similar measures taken by southern provinces in the first two months of 2012.
In February, Deputy Chairman of Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province People's Committee Ho Van Nien said the province would provide support to help speed up foreign-invested projects while revoking licences granted to investors unable to implement registered projects.
Director of the Long An Department of Planning and Investment Nguyen Minh Ha affirmed that the local authorities would remove unfeasible projects in order to give opportunities to capable investors.
The Central Highlands province of Lam Dong has also announced that they will eliminate projects not implemented. Provincial authorities have said they were considering revoking licences of another 40 projects, most of them small- and medium-scale hydropower plants, tourism and agro – forestry projec.
In HCM City, despite efforts undertaken by the Vietnamese partner in the joint venture licensed for the Thu Thiem Software Park Project in District 2 to retain the investment licence, the city's authorities have decided to revoke the licence of the US$1.2 billion project to give opportunities to others.
The provinces of Binh Thuan and Bac Ninh and Da Nang City have also said they are considering ways to elimnate unfeasible projects.
These efforts follow a Prime Ministerial directive in September 2011 on tightening foreign direct investment management and addressing other related issues.
However, decisions to revoke delayed foreign-invested projects has been made by several provinces even before the PM's directive.
The past couples of years have seen the revoking of licences granted to multi-billion projects like the $9.8 billion steel project in Ninh Thuan; the $4 billion Dragon Beach project in Quang Nam; and the $11.4 billion Creativeness City project in Phu Yen.
In 2011, the provinces of Lam Dong, Ba Ria – Vung Tau and Long An made decisions to revoke licences they had provided for 45, 24 and 22 delayed projects, repectively.
The northern border province of Cao Bang, which has so far licensed only nine foreign-invested projects with a total investment of $28 million, last year revoked licences of three projects with a combined capital of $7 million.
Granting licences to multi-billion projects promoted by financially incapable investors was "unacceptable", said Nguyen Mai, former deputy chairman of the State Committee for Co-operation and Investment. — VNS

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - "From childhood, I always wanted to fly an airplane,"says Thomas Kirk. "I volunteered for the airforce for the cadet service and went into the military anticipating I was going to be a pilot."
But it wasn't meant to be. Kirk's dreams of flying were dashed when he was assigned to the army infantry. He would serve with the 49th Infantry Division during World War II. His first stop: England.
"We lived in a camp, tents, in the mud and cold. We were very short on food."
From England, he crossed the English Channel to France.
"The French are not known for their cleanliness but they were real nice to us."
The 49th fought the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge through France, Luxenburg, Holland and Belgium.
"We saw a good bit of combat; lost a good many men. I ran into a personal case of what's called combat fatigue. They sent me to the hospital and found I had all I was going to stand."
He was assigned to non-combat duties in Germany. After the war he would help set up the United States headquarters there. Kirk says the German people were kind to the GI's. One family even took him in and he lived with them a short time.
"Ms. Giltner treated me just like her son had he been there."
But the Nazis were a different story.
"The other side of the German picture when you capture a POW camp. It's horror beyond belief. How civilized people could treat other civilized people. It's unbelievable."
He was finally able to set sail for home in 1946, but he wasn't out of danger yet.
"We hit an iceberg, tore a hole in our ship; got our ship off kilter. We broke the propeller shaft on the ship. We were high and dry in the middle of the ocean. We got a group together and we welded that driveshaft together and got that dude on the road."
He returned to Bentonia, where his family and future were waiting.
"I married the prettiest girl I could find. I was a farmer; I had a fertilizer business. I did a variety of things until I retired. I've had a wonderful life. The military was good to me."

Papa Does Preach: William Hurt delivers the gospel in 'The King.'
Texas Takedown
'The King' disses the Bible Belt
By Richard von Busack
IN CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS, a swabby just out of the Navy materializes. His name is Elvis (Gael García Bernal). He looks up his father, who is now a very respectable man: Pastor David Sandow (William Hurt), who is making as good a living off preaching, just as the Rev. Camden does in 7th Heaven. Elvis' return infuriates the father, but it piques the interest of his daughter, Malerie (Pell James). Not realizing that her own half-brother is seducing her, she falls into Elvis' arms. Her brother, Paul (Paul Dano), a Christian activist and graduating senior, discovers the liaison but is also unaware of the incest behind it. In a moment that's meant to be primal tragedy, Elvis crosses a line from which he cannot retreat.
Having seen director James Marsh's first-rate 1999 docudrama Wisconsin Death Trip, it's easy to call him one of the best and the brightest of the Malickians. Working from an excellent book by Michael Lesy, this English director brought a memorable approach to chronicling the old, weird America. Unfortunately, here he has a script by a true deep-disher, Milo Addica, of Monster's Ball, a writer with a seriously speculative idea of how life in the South is lived. Addica makes sure we take in the brutality of Sandow's longbow hunting (what's he doing going after deer in the summer?).

Hurt, with gun-nut muttonchops, is meant to be a selfish hypocrite; his wife, played by Laura Harring—yes, the Rita Hayworth figure from Mulholland Dr.—is so drab as to be unrecognizable. Toughing out the film's most seriously underwritten part, Harring is reduced to a scene of gardening in a purple negligee. It's one of those "Look at me, damn it" moments that occur in every actress's life. The stereotypes are fixed in a thick amber of symbolism, and The King diminishes in comparison to the Belgian film The Son, with its similar but more likely scenario of the testing of the limits Christian tolerance.
In Marsh's favor, Dano and James look and act like brother and sister. Dano, who was in L.I.E., brings enough out of the old CSNY song "Helplessly Hoping" to make you miss him. He needs all of his charisma to bring some life to a straitlaced role. The King shows sex but lacks its drive: Ms. James is meant to look like a cool vanilla drink in the Gulf Coast heat, but she never really heats up. Even when Bernal's Elvis is giving her head, she seems to be waiting to be cued for a line. She goes along with Elvis until she doesn't, and that's the movie right there.
Imagine a Moroccan-bound, gilt-paged gift edition of the collected works of Jim Thompson, and something like The King comes to mind; a self-conscious pulp-gothic set in Texas, intended for the upper-class trade. The film gives it to the kind of people that art-house audiences hate: God pesterers, deer hunters, Intelligent Design advocates and Texans in general. The camera keeps coasting pass a refinery: "Did you see how ugly that is? Wait, let's look at it again." Berkeley is where I caught the film, a place where they chisel the W's off their computer boards. Even an audience ready to shudder at the cruelty, selfishness and ignorance of the USA shrugged the movie off. After you've seen the nation belabored by experts, this wasn't even a Rolfing.
The King (R; 105 min.), directed by James Marsh, written by Milo Addica and Marsh, photographed by Eigil Bryld and starring Gael García Bernal, William Hurt, Pallo Dano and Pell James, opens June 16.

"In a time that spends so many words and dollars upon conflict, it is encouraging to be noticed for having said a few words in favor of peace," Berry said during his acceptance speech.
Henry County veterans were honored Monday at Henry County High School. The Henry County's Air Force JROTC served veterans breakfast and the Henry County High School Choir sang during the ceremony. Many students and residents attended to thank veterans for their sacrifice and service to the country.

I didn't know this park existed until the trail showed up on AllTrails.com. This is a nice paved walking trail in a secluded park in mid-town. The park is well kept. The trail is kid-friendly and has a nice playground. Nothing particularly scenic, but a nice park and a nice paved walking trail. There are lots of trees and the area is likely very pretty in the fall as the trees change colors.

Madewright (BURN70)
Bad Bad Julie, Old Yellow Boy, Hey Tom I Saw You, I Wanna See Dr Bones, Run Here Baby Run, Back At The Bucket Of Blood, Brother Hay Shaker, Soul Serenade, Do Da Duck Quack Quack, Two Days Two Nights, Tryin' To Make It To My Shack
Born in Mississippi in 1940 but having spent enough of his life based in Louisiana to unashamedly stake the claim to be the 'Monarch Of New Orleans Blues', on this evidence it is no idle boast.
This, his latest album in a series for the Crescent City's Madewright Records, demonstrates why Freddie is now considered to be just about the best living exponent of superb juke joint, down-home blues. You may have one of the earlier albums from the label or, going back a little further, a previous set released by Fat Possum, but this little beaut may well be his best yet.
Across 11 tracks Freddie leads his hot band through some down and dirty blues numbers that are variously swampy, sweaty, funky and rocking. Or, as the un-credited quotation on the back of the nice little digi-pack tells it, "Little Freddie King's gut-bucket blues is not for the Martini-sippin' city slicker. His brand of the blues is moonshine drippin' from the backyard, still made from the remnants of a Delta farm feed through...It's harsh, dirty and powerfully authentic". PR-puffery this may be but that doesn't make it any less accurate!
The members of the band ably themselves demonstrate just how much they are in control of their music on a handful of instrumentals that feature here. The five minutes plus of the beautifully paced Soul Serenade is a harmonica-led delight and Old Yellow Boy is just majestic, being led along by a slide guitar reminiscent of Sonny Landreth's southern-style chops while the rest of the band segue into a rhythm that brings to mind Tequila by The Champs. Very effective and hugely enjoyable.
Elsewhere, the band is never less than solid and sympathetic to Freddie's songs and vocal delivery. No relation to the better known Freddie King (though he did once play bass in his band), Little Freddie is said to be a cousin of Lightnin' Hopkins and sometimes the family resemblance is suggested. Overall, though the most apt comparison is the classic Excello sound from the late 1950s and early 1960s, updated and made contemporary to the juke joints that the band has made its reputation in.
Do yourself a favour and order this now. There are far too few bands around playing this (our) kind of music like it should be played, never mind anything as good as this.

Publisher: Razorbill (October 8th 2013)
Hardcover: 528 pages
Series: Gypsy King #2
Source: Penguin Canada & Goodreads
Add on: Goodreads
Rating: 4 of 5 stars
In the final moments of The Gypsy King, a truth was revealed to Persephone and Azriel – one that could change everything forever. For her. For him. For them. For the entire kingdom.
But trapped in a windowless castle chamber with soldiers battering at the door, it seems impossible to believe that they'll even survive. Indeed, they are a heartbeat from death when Azriel boldly bargains with the Regent Mordecai: release them and they will seek out the mythical healing Pool of Genezing. Mordecai agrees but warns that if they do not return with proof that the pool exists, he'll make those dearest to them suffer – and he'll start with King Finnius.
Persephone has never needed Azriel's teasing warmth as much as she needs it now, but she is finding out there is a price to pay for having broken past promises. Together, they set off on a journey that will take them into the farthest corners of the kingdom.Danger will ever lie ahead and behind them; they will battle men and beasts alike. Will Persephone and Azriel survive these perils? And will this quest see their romance grow cold – or will it burn hotter than ever?
Hmm…in short, this was my overall react to the book: YOU ARE KILLING ME BOOK.
Okay, a slightly more coherent review now. (Please note: it'll be sorta vague due to the major spoiler alert nature of the book, I'll try to refrain from ruining anything)
So, if you guys remember the ending of The Gypsy King really left us hanging. A Fool's Errand starts off right there! (so slight-ish spoiler alert for the ending of The Gypsy King coming up). So crazy evil Regent Mordecai has Persephone and Azriel trapped in a corner, ready to send them off with their heads, when suddenly big revelations are announced (sorry can't tell you!). Azriel bargains for their safety and that of King Finnius, in exchange, they will find proof of the magical healing pool that can help Mordecai's with his disfigurement. Not a fool, Mordecai decides to let them search for it (while already planning to back stab them when they get back – this isn't spoilers because we all know Mordecai is crazy evil). Persephone and Azriel have 100 days to return to Parthania with proof, or heads will roll. And so Persephone and Azriel (and friends) trekking across the land, through the snowy mountain lands of the Khans, to the Islands of storms, and to the mines in search of evidence.
It's quite the page-turning adventurous story as Persephone and Azriel face some crazy obstacles. I was definitely kept on the edge of my seat. The book still has the great details (again, a brick of a book) and the same dark undertones, especially with the subplot with Mordecai and Finn. I swear, Mordecai gets crazier and more evil with every page. This subplot definitely followed the court intrigue outline. We do get to see more of Finn, and I really enjoyed watching be more of a character of capability rather than just a puppet.
Another aspect of the book I really enjoyed was Persephone and Azriel romance. Just when Persephone finally may accept her feelings for Azriel, outed secrets change the dynamic all around. I still adore Azriel. He's just so charming and quite the silly guy, but knows what he needs to do and sacrifice in order to help Persephone. I also really like Rachel, Persephone's doppelganger, she's so adorable.
Okay, so why only the 4 stars? It had adventure, intrigue & romance, all well written and engaging, what more would I ask for? … An ending. AGAIN! I'm left hanging /teaaaars. It's killing me a bit.
Overall, it was a exciting follow up to The Gypsy King, with lots of crazy twist and turns, macabre moments, and adorable romance. A definite must-read if you read the first one, and a fantastic series to check out (maybe once the whole series is out so ya ain't left hanging haha) if you want a little more to your historical romance/action. Basically, I need the last book now please, I need to know what happens from here!!

Your Story
Research shows that most of us assume we have a high-quality health care system. Sad to say, this assumption is not true. The Institute of Medicine published a report in 1999, To Err Is Human, where it showed 98,000 annual preventable deaths in U.S. hospitals. And still today medical errors make up one of the our leading causes of death and injury.
We learn more from these experiences by talking about them. Share your stories here – either from a health care provider perspective or patient perspective. You can keep your story anonymous or you can list information about yourself if you'd like.

EXCLUSIVE: "Scribblenauts Unmasked" Parodies "Action Comics" #1 Cover
In preparation for the September 24 release of "Scribblenauts Unmasked," WB Games, 5TH Cell and DC Entertainment have provided CBR with a series of homage covers using the "Scribblenauts" DC characters recreating of some of the publisher's most iconic covers.
First up from the vaults of DC Comics history is one of the most recognizable covers of all time: "Action Comics" #1, which introduced Superman for the first time. The "Scribblenauts Unmasked" cover shows Superman in his classic costume, with appropriately dressed civilians scrambling away from the hero with a car held aloft. "Scribblenauts" protagonist Maxwell even gets a cameo in the bottom left corner.
"Action Comics" #1 made headlines in June when a Minnesota man discovered a copy in the wall of his 1938 house, which eventually sold at auction for $175,000. A near-mint version of the comic sold by actor Nicolas Cage sold at auction for $2.6 million in 2011.
"'Scribblenauts' is one of the most unique games ever created due to the amount of objects we put in the game, and the unique way that players can interact with those objects via Maxwell's magic notebook," 5TH Cell Senior Producer Caleb Arseneaux told CBR News earlier this month. "When we looked at the DC Universe, we saw an equally huge number of characters and objects that we felt players would love to interact with in a new way. We've added over 2000 DC Universe objects to the game, ranging from Superman to Bizarro to vehicles used by obscure characters."
Check back every day until September 24 for a new cover homage using the trademark "Scribblenauts" style.
"Scribblenauts Unmasked" releases September 24 for Nintendo 3DS, Wii U and PC.

Congress passes fiscal cliff act
January 2, 2013
Friends & Colleagues:
The following is an article from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants regarding the recent tax law changes. Congress has extended the Mortgage Debt Relief Act through the end of 2013. There are several other provisions that have changed as well. Please give our office a call with any questions or concerns.
"The AICPA is pleased that Congress has reached an agreement," said Edward Karl, vice president–Tax for the AICPA." With some modifications targeting the wealthiest Americans with higher taxes, the act permanently extends provisions of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001, and Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003. It also permanently takes care of Congress's perennial job of "patching" the alternative minimum tax (AMT). It temporarily extends many other tax provisions that had lapsed at midnight on Dec. 31 and others that had expired a year earlier.
The act's nontax features include one-year extensions of emergency unemployment insurance and agricultural programs and yet another "doc fix" postponement of automatic cuts in Medicare payments to physicians. In addition, it delays until March a broad range of automatic federal spending cuts known as sequestration that otherwise would have begun this month.
Among the tax items not addressed by the act was the temporary lower 4.2% rate for employees' portion of the Social Security payroll tax, which was not extended and has reverted to 6.2%.
Here are the act's main tax features:
Individual tax rates
All the individual marginal tax rates under EGTRRA and JGTRRA are retained (10%, 15%, 25%, 28%, 33%, and 35%). A new top rate of 39.6% is imposed on taxable income over $400,000 for single filers, $425,000 for head-of-household filers, and $450,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly ($225,000 for each married spouse filing separately).
Phaseout of itemized deductions and personal exemptions
The personal exemptions and itemized deductions phaseout is reinstated at a higher threshold of $250,000 for single taxpayers, $275,000 for heads of household, and $300,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly.
Capital gains and dividends
A 20% rate applies to capital gains and dividends for individuals above the top income tax bracket threshold; the 15% rate is retained for taxpayers in the middle brackets. The zero rate is retained for taxpayers in the 10% and 15% brackets.
Alternative minimum tax
The exemption amount for the AMT on individuals is permanently indexed for inflation. For 2012, the exemption amounts are $78,750 for married taxpayers filing jointly and $50,600 for single filers. Relief from AMT for nonrefundable credits is retained.
Estate and gift tax
The estate and gift tax exclusion amount is retained at $5 million indexed for inflation ($5.12 million in 2012), but the top tax rate increases from 35% to 40% effective Jan. 1, 2013. The estate tax "portability" election, under which, if an election is made, the surviving spouse's exemption amount is increased by the deceased spouse's unused exemption amount, was made permanent by the act.
Permanent extensions
Various temporary tax provisions enacted as part of EGTRRA were made permanent. These include:
- Marriage penalty relief (i.e., the increased size of the 15% rate bracket and increased standard deduction for married taxpayers filing jointly;
- The liberalized child and dependent care credit rules (allowing the credit to be calculated based on up to $3,000 of expenses for one dependent or up to $6,000 for more than one);
- The enhanced rules for student loan deductions introduced by EGTRRA;
- The employer-provided child care credit;
Individual credits expired at the end of 2012
The American opportunity tax credit for qualified tuition and other expenses of higher education was extended through 2018. Other credits and items from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, that were extended for the same five-year period include enhanced provisions of the child tax credit and the earned income tax credit.
Individual provisions expired at the end of 2011
The act also extended through 2013 a number of temporary individual tax provisions, most of which expired at the end of 2011:
- Deduction for certain expenses of elementary and secondary school teachers;
- Exclusion from gross income of discharge of qualified principal residence indebtedness (Sec. 108);
- Parity for exclusion from income for employer-provided mass transit and parking benefits;
- Mortgage insurance premiums treated as qualified residence interest;
- Deduction of state and local general sales taxes;
- Above-the-line deduction for qualified tuition and related expenses; and
Business tax extenders
The act also extended many business tax credits and other provisions. Notably, it extended through 2013 and modified the Sec. 41 credit for increasing research and development activities, which expired at the end of 2011. The credit is modified to allow partial inclusion in qualified research expenses and gross receipts those of an acquired trade or business or major portion of one. The increased expensing amounts under Sec. 179 are extended through 2013. The availability of an additional 50% first-year bonus depreciation was also extended for one year by the act. It now generally applies to property placed in service before Jan. 1, 2014 (Jan. 1, 2015, for certain property with longer production periods).
Foreign provisions
The IRS's authority under Sec. 1445(e)(1) to apply a withholding tax to gains on the disposition of U.S. real property interests by partnerships, trusts, or estates that are passed through to partners or beneficiaries that are foreign persons is made permanent, and the amount is increased to 20%.
New taxes
In addition to the various provisions discussed above, some new taxes also took effect Jan. 1 as a result of 2010's health care reform legislation.
Additional hospital insurance tax on high-income taxpayers. The employee portion of the hospital insurance tax part of FICA, normally 1.45% of covered wages, is increased by 0.9% on wages that exceed a threshold amount. The additional tax is imposed on the combined wages of both the taxpayer and the taxpayer's spouse, in the case of a joint return. The threshold amount is $250,000 in the case of a joint return or surviving spouse, $125,000 in the case of a married individual filing a separate return, and $200,000 in any other case.
For self-employed taxpayers, the same additional hospital insurance tax applies to the hospital insurance portion of SECA tax on self-employment income in excess of the threshold amount.
Medicare tax on investment income. Starting Jan. 1, Sec. 1411 imposes a tax on individuals equal to 3.8% of the lesser of the individual's net investment income for the year or the amount the individual's modified adjusted gross income (AGI) exceeds a threshold amount. For estates and trusts, the tax equals 3.8% of the lesser of undistributed net investment income or AGI over the dollar amount at which the highest trust and estate tax bracket begins.
For married individuals filing a joint return and surviving spouses, the threshold amount is $250,000; for married taxpayers filing separately, it is $125,000; and for other individuals it is $200,000.
Net investment income means investment income reduced by deductions properly allocable to that income. Investment income includes income from interest, dividends, annuities, royalties, and rents, and net gain from disposition of property, other than such income derived in the ordinary course of a trade or business. However, income from a trade or business that is a passive activity and from a trade or business of trading in financial instruments or commodities is included in investment income.
Medical care itemized deduction threshold. The threshold for the itemized deduction for unreimbursed medical expenses has increased from 7.5% of AGI to 10% of AGI for regular income tax purposes. This is effective for all individuals, except, in the years 2013–2016, if either the taxpayer or the taxpayer's spouse has turned 65 before the end of the tax year, the increased threshold does not apply and the threshold remains at 7.5% of AGI.
Flexible spending arrangement. Effective for cafeteria plan years beginning after Dec. 31, 2012, the maximum amount of salary reduction contributions that an employee may elect to have made to a flexible spending arrangement for any plan year is $2,500.

ASCC enjoying successful online Pre-Registration
From now until December 6, regular continuing students at the American Samoa Community College (ASCC) have the option to pre-register for the classes they wish to take during the spring 2013 semester which commences in January.
Given the difficulties the College experienced during the registration process for the current semester, some students were bracing for a repeat of the problems they encountered in late August, but initial reports indicate that registration for the coming semester is proceeding with no significant problems and in many ways is going more efficiently than ever before.
The ASCC Admission & Records/Financial Aid Office (ARFAO) estimates that in the first week of its availability, around 200 students took advantage of the new online registration process. Continuing students can now receive a user name and password to sign up for their classes using any computer on campus.
"Previous pre-registration lines were similar to regular registration lines," observed ARFAO Director Sifagatogo Tuitasi. "There would be noticeably long lines outside of the Business and Admissions Offices. This was a concern because before, students would miss classes because they thought they had to stand in line to ensure they would get into the courses they wanted for the next semester. It hasn't been like that this time."
The current pre-registration has seen no long lines outside of either the Business or Admissions offices. "I think this is due to all the changes that were implemented in the fall semester, including the move to online registration," said Grace Tulafono, head of the ASCC Management Information Systems (MIS) division.
"All continuing students were directed to the computer lab to register for their courses, and only specific cases were referred back to the Admissions Office. Our main reason for improving the registration process is to shorten these lines and move the students along the process quicker, and I think for this pre-registration, we've accomplished that."
Tulafono explained how the current advancements in the registration process build upon previously tested methods. "The only other pre-registration where online technology was used was the first beta testing priority registration done with only 12 students," she said.
"This is the first pre-registration where online registration is available to all continuing students, and it is proven very successful in allowing students to register themselves into courses. The main technical changes still being tested are the rules for prerequisites that we have been working on since the previous registration. So far, all of our changes are working properly."
The various campus offices that play crucial roles in the registration process collaborated on the planning and development of the new system. A group comprised of representatives from the Business Office, MIS, ARFAO, Academic Affairs, Trades & Technology, and Teacher Education meets every semester to discuss ways of improving registration. "We discuss the process and how the system can help implement it better," said Tulafono. "The system itself is used for more than just online registration. It's also used throughout ASCC to manage finances, for procurement, property management, and human resources, and to process financial aid data."
For MIS, the work to prepare for and improve the ASCC registration process and other technology services for students is ongoing. "Our activities change during the pre-registration and registration periods, but this remains a priority, so it is part of the workload throughout the year," said Tulafono.
Reflecting on the challenges of managing a system suited to the particular needs of ASCC and its students, the MIS Director expressed pride in how the College uses its available resources to its best advantage. "This is a true testament of doing a lot with a little," Tulafono explained. "ASCC does not have the type of money as other US institutions, nor do we charge the type of tuition they do, but we are serving our students with the same type of technology available at other schools. The Colleague software system that we work with is also used by over 750 institutions in North America, including Chaminade University in Hawaii, and the University of Guam."

Today, the panel appointed by Gov Quinn to overhaul the RTA met for the first time.
The panel, called the Northeastern Illinois Public Transit Task Force, plans to reorganize a system that not only suffers from bad public relations, but also from poor ridership. They have a 4 point plan in place and hope it can all get addressed with a very tight deadline.
Quinn also hopes they can get Metra, the CTA and Pace back on track.
Metra has been operating under a cloud of suspicion after its CEO got a buyout worth hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars. Since then, multiple board members have resigned. Failed leadership at Metra is forcing the agency to review and perhaps reinvent the way it runs transportation on our rails and our roads.
The panel suggests former U.S attorney Patrick Fitzgerald will head the ethics committee.
Others will lead the finance committee, the governance committee and system performance.
While ethics remains the priority, the panel makes it clear performance is also a major problem. Ridership is up just 1% says the board. Other cities like New York are seeing it grow by 50%. Chicago's growth is stagnant.
October 18 is the deadline for the first report due to the governor.
January 31 deadline is when the final report is due and the panel dissolves.

Buhari replies wife: You belong to my kitchen
Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has responded to criticism from his wife by saying she belongs in his kitchen.
On a visit to Germany, he said: "I don't know which party my wife belongs to, but she belongs to my kitchen and my living room and the other room."
Mr Buhari was standing next to Chancellor Angela Merkel, who reportedly glared at him.
Aisha Buhari had said she might not back her husband at the next election unless he got a grip on his government.
Responding to questions by reporters, Mr Buhari said that having run for president three times and having succeeded at the fourth attempt, he could "claim superior knowledge over her".
In an interview with the BBC's Hausa language service, Mrs Buhari, a businesswoman and activist, suggested her husband's government had been hijacked by only a "few people", who were behind presidential appointments.
She said the president did not know most of the officials he had appointed. "The president does not know 45 out of 50 of the people he appointed and I don't know them either, despite being his wife of 27 years," she said.
Her decision to go public with her concerns will shock many people, but it shows the level of discontent with the president's leadership, says the BBC's Naziru Mikailu in the capital, Abuja.
