another touching story fron a person encountered a stroke!
.....MOMENTARILY I FELT SO STRANGE TO VAGUELY UNDERSTAND MASTER'S DANG "NOTION" ON A PREHISTORIC BRAIN, A BRAIN THAT is yet to be polluted BY ALL LABELS OF ANY TEACHINGS FROM ANY RELIGIONWISE APPROACHES IN TEACHINGS/ DEFINITIONS/ PARABLES....while i could not say a word for a had am impact on my "speech manipulation" region of the brain IN THE STROKE!
I FELT A VERY HAPPY EMOTION/THOUGHT WITH THIS ..... ONCE-IN-A-LIFE-TIME EXPERIENCE, WITH NEITHER FEAR OF DEATH NOR .... A SENSE OF LONELINESS IN THIS LONELY WORLD ( WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO SHARE this strange emotion with a person encountering stroke in the status of dementia in his/her old age!)
A state of a brain totally free from all notions, theories, doctrines, concepts of life, a state of an absolute freedom: NOW I BEGIN TO understand ...the brainwashing of Master Dang in his approach of the symbolic prehistoric brain imprinted on AYERS ROCKS in Australia ( without mentioning clearly what he meant to say in front of students from various religions from ..... 200.000 years back).
SHOULD we ( or dare we) NULLIFY ALL "pollution" in our brain to attain the state of an absolute freedom for the brain of a prehistoric person FOR THE SAKE OF SPIRITUALITY?
Comrades of UE ! THIS A thorough/ overall revolution of spirituality, is it not?

We just ignite the spark plug in our quantum mind and liberate all notions, concepts/ theories/ philosophy/ doctrines that actually put a hindercap on true spirituality!
1. NOTION of Paradise or Hell :
Is it merely a concept invented by some religious institutions as guidance or warning in order to seduce or intimidate lost people who wander from the right path?

2. "Notion of out of body experience".
SCIENCE HAS PROVEN THAT the so-called "OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE" is merely an illusion, a game show by ... THE miraculous function of our BRAIN:
Out-of body Experience: Your brain is to blame
Paranormal forces can be induced by delivering mild electric current to specific spots in the brain: a man undergoing one experiment encounters a distinct feeling of a shadow figure standing behind him and while another woman feels herself
leaving her body and floating in space
Two other women were evaluated for epilepsy surgery by means of electrodes implanted into their brains: when stimulated at different patch of brain tissues each woman described different
ghostly experiences
: one was the sensation of still feeling a limb being amputated, another was the feeling outside of personal space.
From experiments scientists have gained new understanding of these odd bodily sensations as they have learned more about how the brain works: some areas of the brain combine information from several senses. Vision, hearing and touch are initially processed in the primary sensory regions then they flow together to create the wholeness of a person's perceptions.
Sensors in the
provide information about pressure, pain, heat and cold; while sensors in
the joints, tendons and bones
tell the brain where the body is positioned in space. Sensors in the
track the sense of balance and sensors in the internal organs provide an assessment of a person's emotional state.
The impression of a mimicking shadowy self-simulation can occur
electrical stimulation to the brain: people who undergo sensory deprivation ( mountaineers / sailors or people having suffered minor strokes) experienced the same phenomena.
When normal people experience bodily delusions, they are often completely confused because they do not realize it is a creation of the brain.
The sense of body integrity can be easily duped: the true explanation of the supernatural is actually a very natural one:
it is the brain's attempt to make sense of conflicting information!
Full text:
There are eerie( strange and frightening) sensations, more common than one might think; A man describes the distinct feeling of a shadowy figure standing behind him, then turns around and finds no one there. A woman feels herself leaving the body and floating in space, looking down on her physical body.
People often attribute such experiences to paranormal forces outside the sphere of material life. But according to recent work by neuroscientists, they can be induced by delivering mild electric current to specific spots in the brain.
In one woman for example, a zap to a brain region- the
angular gyrus
( the multi sensory processing center in the brain)- resulted in a sensation that she was hanging from the ceiling, looking down at her body. In another woman, electrical current delivered the same area triggered a feeling that someone was behind her, intent on interfering with her actions.
The two women were being evaluated for epilepsy surgery at University Hospital in Geneva, Switzerland. Doctors implanted electrodes into their brains to find the abnormal tissue causing their seizures. As each electrode was activated, stimulating a different patch of brain tissue, the patient was asked to say what she was experiencing.
Dr Olaf Blanke, a neurologist at Ecole Politechnique Federale de Lausanne in Switzerland, who carried out the procedures, said that the woman had normal psychiatric histories and that they were stunned by the bizarre nature of their experiences.
But this is not a film scenario, and there is nothing mystical about these ghostly experiences, said Peter Brugger, a neuroscientist at University Hospital in Zurich. Dr Brugger is an expert on phantom imbs- the sensation of still feeling a limb that has been amputated.
"The research shows that the self can be detached from the body and can live a phantom existence on its own, as in an out-of-body experience, or it can be felt outside of personal space, as in a sense of a presence: Dr Brugger said.
Scientists have gained new understanding of these odd bodily sensations as they have learned more about how the brain works, Dr Blankesaid. For example researchers have discovered that some areas of the brain combine information from several senses.
Vision, hearing, and touch are initially processed in the primary sensory regions ( eyes , ears, fingertips, etc..) But then they flow together, like tributaries into a river, to create the wholeness of a person's perceptions. For example, a dog is visually recognized far more quickly if it is simultaneously accompanied by the sound of its bark.
These multisensory processing regions also build up perceptions of the body as it moves through the world, Dr Blanke said. Sensors in the skin provide information about pressure, pain, heat, cold and similar sensations. Sensors in the joints, tendons, and bones tell the brain where the body is positioned in space. Sensors in the ears track the sense of balance, And sensors in the internal organs, including the heart, liver and intestines, provide an assessment of a person's emotional state.
Real time information from the body, the space around the body and the subjective feelings from the body are also represented in multisensory regions, Dr Blanke said. And of these regions are directly stimulated by an electric current as in the cases of the two women he studied, the integrity of the sense of the body can be altered.
As an example, Dr Blanke describes the case of a 22-year-old student who had electrodes implanted into the left hemisphere of her brain in 2004.
" We were checking language areas, " Dr Blanke said. The woman suddenly turned her head to the right. That made no sense, he said, because the electrode was nowhere near areas involved in the control of movement. Instead, the current was stimulating the angular gyrus, which blends vision with the body sense.
Dr Blanke applied the current again. Again, the woman turned her head to the right. Why are you doing this? He asked. The woman replied that she had a weird sensation that another person was lying beneath her on the bed. The figure, she said, felt like a "shadow" that did not speak or move; it was young, more like a man than a woman, and it wanted to interfere with her.
When Dr Blanke turned off the current, the woman stopped looking to the right, and said the strange presence has gone away. Each time he reapplied the current, she once again turned her head to try to see the shadow figure.
When the woman sat up, leaned forward and hugged her knees. She said that she felt as if the shadow man was also sitting and that he was clasping her in his arms. She said it felt unpleasant. When she held a card in her right hand, she reported that the shadow figure tried to take it from her. "he doesn't want me to read" she said. Because the presence closely stimulated the patient's body posture and position, Dr Blanke concluded that the patient was experiencing an unusual perception of her own body, as a double. But for reasons that scientists have not been able to explain, he said, she did not recognize that it was her own body she was sensing.
This impression of a mimicking, shadowy self simulation can occur without stimulation to the brain, Dr Brugger said, It has been described by people who undergo sensory deprivation, as in mountaineers trekking at high altitude or sailors crossing the ocean alone, and by people who have suffered minor strokes or other disruptions in blood flow to the brain.
Six years ago another of Dr Blanke's patients underwent brain stimulation to the angular gyrus. The patient experienced a complete out-of-body experience. When the current flowed, she said, I am at the ceiling. I am looking down at my legs". When the current ceased, she said, "I am back on the table now. What happened?"
Because the woman's felt position in space and her actual position in space did not match, her mind search for the best way to turn her confusion into a coherent experience, Dr Blanke said. She concluded that she must be floating up and away while looking downward.
Some schizophenics (a person with schizophenia, a mental disorder in which people confuse reality and imagination), Dr Blanke said, experience paranoid
( false belief) and the sense that someone is following them. They also sometimes confuse their own actions of other people. While the cause of these symptoms is not known, he said, multisensory processing areas may be involved.
When otherwise normal people experience bodily delusions, Dr Blanke said, they are often completely confused. They felt sensation of the body is so real, so familiar, that people do not realize it is a creation of the brain.
Yet the sense of the body integrity is rather easily duped (fool, trick) Dr Blanke said. While it may be tempting to credit the supernatural when this body sense goes wrong, the true explanation is a very natural one. It is the brain's attempt to make sense of conflicting information."

An astral travel
Last night Thien Thu, in an astral travel, ran across Tom Cruise (who used to be) a brilliant main actor in many MISSION IMPOSSIBLE FILMS, now became a guru at level OT7 of Scientology Sect.
He showed me the ability of the brain to liberate from Material, Energy, Space and Time ( abbreviated as MEST, which later I wished to name
as a branch of Scientology !) and accidentally helped me to … join my two sides of the brain ( Logic and Creativity) that was immediately "brightened" ( I said "brightened" not enlightened, - remembering that I recently suffered a… stroke in spirituality!).
The brightening of a brain enjoying simultaneously Logic and Creativity DID NOT depict a
quantum mind
but depict a kind of …romance mathematics as follows:
Smart man + smart woman == romance
Smart man + dumb woman == affair
Dumb man + smart woman == marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman == unplanned pregnancy
Smart boss + smart employee == profit
Smart boss + dumb employee == production
Dumb boss + smart employee == promotion
Dumb boss + dumb employee == overtime
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die.
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.
Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.
PLEASE do not take this .....tall tale seriously because it is just a story from an astral travel !

Untold story about computer industry and car industry:
" For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on.
At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated,
'If Ford had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon.'
In response to Bill's comments, Ford issued a press release stating:
If Ford had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this part):
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash.........Twice a day.
2.. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single 'This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation' warning light.
I love the next one!!!
7. The airbag system would ask 'Are you sure?' before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. You'd have to press the 'Start' button to turn the engine off.
PS - I 'd like to add that when all else fails, you could call 'customer service' in some foreign country and be instructed in some foreign language how to fix your car yourself!!!!
Please share this with your friends who love - but sometimes hate - their computer!"
From the internet ... with love !

This opened my eyes
Dr Stephen Mak treats terminal ill cancer patients by "un-orthodox" way and many patients recovered. Before he used solar energy to clear the illnesses of his patients. He believes on natural healing in the body against illnesses. See his article below.
Thanks for the email on fruits and juices. It is one of the strategies to heal cancer. As of late, my success rate in curing cancer is about 80%. Cancer patients shouldn't die. The cure for cancer is already found. It is whether you believe it or not. I am sorry for the hundreds of cancer patients who die under the conventional treatments.
Thanks and God bless.
- Dr Stephen Mak
We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat.
What is the correct way of eating fruits?
If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.
FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.
In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil....
So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining — every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc — actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat!
Greying hair, balding, nervous outburst and dark circles under the eyesall these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.
There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.
When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.
But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!
KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.
APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.
STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.
ORANGE : Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.
WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene — the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium.
GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content.. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes.
Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can u believe this?? For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
A serious note about heart attacks HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE':
Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. Sixty percent of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive.
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.

Coldplay to headline festival
Coldplay are to headline BBC Radio 1's major Big Weekend event in Glasgow next month.
The band join acts such as Pharrell Williams, Rita Ora and Paolo Nutini during the weekend-long festival to be attended by up to 50,000 revellers.
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin - whose band appear on May 24 - said: "We're very thrilled to be asked, thank you so much."
The event is part of the BBC's contribution to the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Station controller Ben Cooper said: "Radio 1's ambition was to bring the biggest acts in the world to Glasgow for Big Weekend - and it doesn't get much bigger than Coldplay."
Tickets for the event at Glasgow Green on May 24 and 25 were given away earlier this month.
Celebrations will begin on May 23 with a further broadcast from the city's George Square featuring DJs Annie Mac, Pete Tong, Zane Lowe and Danny Howard.
Coldplay release their sixth album Ghost Stories the same week.

Tim Reed successfully defended his men's crown, while New Zealand's Gina Crawford claimed the women's honours at IRONMAN 70.3 Yeppoon at Mercure Capricorn Resort on the northern Queensland coast.
Reed was pleased with his effort as a "shakedown" for next month's IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Las Vegas, while Crawford ticked the box towards her big goal of the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona.
Handily placed 20 seconds down on the leader out of the 1.9km swim, Australian Reed pushed the button on the bike, with his 2:08.12 effort opening a commanding advantage of nearly eight minutes.
The gap was around four minutes to Australian champion Tim Berkel, but he was given a controversial blocking penalty which ensured Reed could ease his way through the run to win in 3:55.26. Berkel recovered from the stand down which pushed him back to eighth, with the day's best of 1:17.26 run split enough to give him the runner-up spot, nearly two minutes clear of Queensland-based Adam Gordon.
For Reed it was a win to plan.
"With Las Vegas three weeks away, my coach said I could do this race if I didn't run hard," says Reed. "That left me with one option if I wanted to be near the front, and that was to ride hard. I did that and managed to get a bit of a lead on the run and cruise around the course quite comfortably, although the last 5km were not quite as easy as I thought it would be.
"The plan was to keep the training going for Las Vegas. If you have a hard, hard run it takes a couple of weeks to get back. So the plan was to ride hard and run easy. This has given me confidence for Vegas."
Crawford, who was runner-up at IRONMAN Cairns and in her first race back from a break in Samoa last weekend, went one better today.
She trailed defending champion Lisa Marangon out of the water by 20 seconds and did not bridge up to the Australian until the 70 km mark on the bike. The pair raced together into transition before Crawford broke the elastic early on the run to win in 4:23.06 by a margin of over than six minutes over Marangon, with Aussie Michelle Wu third, a further six minutes back.
"I have been working on trying to pace myself better on the bike," Crawford says. "I usually like to go out really hard at the start of the bike and I have suffered at the end of it. The last two races I have tried to pace myself, which has worked because I've finished the bike really well.
"I had a good run last week. This week, as you do when you have two races a week apart, I felt a bit heavy and tight over the last 7 km. It was a hot day and it is great preparation. I feel good for Metaman in two weeks and then on to Kona. I feel really good in the heat."
Mackay's Adrian Ellul, who started despite a bike crash two weeks ago, got to the finish line to be the only person to have completed all 14 years of the race at the Mercure Capricorn Resort.

Show/Share: Fairfield High School! Making fashion with great young people! It's one of those times when things are *happily hectic*, and I can't wait to share with you pictures as we've finished up our eight-week project. First up, some photos from last Thursday as the students showcased their fabulous final outfits; working with black, white and green:
We worked with the students to make their own dresses and pants during this project. Emma, The Social Outfit's fashion teacher was able to work with each student to add their own design features to their sewn pieces…
We've also made a short film of the project, which I hope to share very soon:
Thanks also to the support of The Australasian College Broadway, we had students studying make-up volunteer their time and help customise looks for our own students:
(I love how you can also see Emma in the background of this photo making last adjustments to our costumes; she really is such a supportive and creative teacher!)
So *thank you* to Amy Morgan and Roberto Napolitano for overseeing our make-up, and to all the make-up volunteers, Anne Nguyen, Bianca Sands, Nabila El-Issa, Leisha McCarthey, Romina Ruiz, Rachel Grose at The Australasian College Broadway:
And, of course, SUPER-THANKS to our teacher Emma, and our fashion intern Steph, for all their help in design and sewing for the students over this whole 8 weeks. I loved being able to work with them, especially being involved in a collaborative creative process. And, its fabulous that they made such an effort to wear black, white and green on our last day… including accessories and nail polish too!
My outfit on the wonderful day, last Thursday, showing my own colour support:
Tell: Lafont glasses, Wa-Nyika earrings, handmade earrings, necklace from Hawaii, pendant handmade and gifted by Jessica, vintage handmade shirt from op shop, retail green top, The Social Studio silk dress, Black Milk leggings, Fluevog boots.
Then below are some images from the previous week (Week 7, 5th September). With going to Melbourne for the Colour Chameleon project, I didn't get a chance to share them until now. Here, the last stages of hand-sewing and learning these techniques to finish off the dresses:
I also really wanted to show these pictures because we had Nicole Barakat and Hussein come and speak with students about their own artistic process. As you might remember Nicole was also involved with our pop up pilot project in The Rocks. Hussein and Nicole especially focussed on their own personal stories and how they celebrate their own cultural heritage in their art work. The students told us how much they enjoyed this talk:
Thanks so much for sharing your own stories, Nicole and Hussein!
And me that day, wearing the eco-dyed scarf Nicole taught us how to make in our first creative workshops …
Tell: Handmade earrings, Kmart skivvy, The Social Outfit eco-dyed scarf, 'Modern Style' dress from NIDA / WEFT-shop fundraiser, retail tights and Fluevog boots.

The UCC38083/4/5/6 is a family of BiCMOS pulse width modulation (PWM) controllers for dc-to-dc or off-line fixed-frequency current-mode switching power supplies. The dual output stages are configured for the push-pull topology. Both outputs switch at half the oscillator frequency using a toggle flip-flop. The dead time between the two outputs is typically 110 ns, limiting each output's duty cycle to less than 50%.
The new UCC3808x family is based on the UCC3808A architecture. The major differences include the addition of a programmable slope compensation ramp to the CS signal and the removal of the error amplifier. The current flowing out of the ISET pin through an external resistor is monitored internally to set the magnitude of the slope compensation function. This device also includes an internal discharge transistor from the CS pin to ground, which is activated at each clock cycle after the pulse is terminated. This discharges any filter capacitance on the CS pin during each cycle and helps minimize filter capacitor values and current sense delay.
The UCC38083 and the UCC38084 devices have a typical soft-start interval time of 3.5 ms while the UCC38085 and the UCC38086 has less than 100 µs for applications where internal soft-start is not desired.
The UCC38083 and the UCC38085 devices have the turn on/off thresholds of the 12.5 V / 8.3 V, while the UCC38084 and the UCC38086 has the turn on/off thresholds of 4.3 V / 4.1 V. Each device is offered in 8-pin TSSOP (PW), 8-pin SOIC (D) and 8-pin PDIP (P) packages.

LaGrange Invitational | Darton College
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—The Birmingham-Southern swimming and diving teams competed at the LaGrange Invitational in LaGrange, Ga., on Friday, and competed in a dual meet against Darton College on Saturday in Albany, Ga.
Friday's invitational was a quad meet. The BSC men beat LaGrange 134-24 but lost to South Georgia State 95-91. The women defeated South Georgia State 122-63 and LaGrange 149-19 but fell to Brenau 122-62. Sophomore Hannah Busk helped lead the way for the Panthers, finishing second in the 100 back and helping the 200 free relay team to win. On the men's side, sophomore Drew Priede won the 200 free and was a member of the winning 200 free relay.
Against Darton, the women won 193-82, but the men lost 202-91, for an overall score of 284-284. Priede was again impressive, winning the 500 free and breaking the school record in the 1000 free, as was Busk, winning the 200 back, 100 fly, and 400 medley relay.
The Panthers are back in action Nov. 22-23 at Brenau University in Gainesville, Ga.

Despite impending free-agent wide receiver Greg Jennings' history with Dolphins coach Joe Philbin, reports out of Miami have consistently suggested the team is more likely to pursue Mike Wallace next month.
It's reminiscent of the dot-connecting that promoted Matt Flynn as the next Dolphins quarterback because he experienced success in two spot starts with Philbin running the Green Bay Packers' offense. As it turns out, Miami's brass was only willing to offer Flynn half of the value of the contract he ended up drawing from the Seattle Seahawks. The Dolphins simply weren't convinced Flynn was a franchise quarterback.
It seems Philbin also is less than convinced that Jennings is a bona fide No. 1 receiver. Well-connected Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has been told that Philbin "isn't a huge fan" of Jennings as a player.
Although a source also tells McGinn there is a "50-50" chance Jennings will be hit with the $10.36 million franchise tag, one ex-Packers executive isn't buy it.
Jennings is believed to be seeking an unrealistic $13 million to $14 million annually. Without the Dolphins in the mix to drive up the bidding, he might have to settle for $7 million to $9 million per season.Follow Chris Wesseling on Twitter @ChrisWesseling.

ELLE Presents Student Designs in NYC
David Yoo 10 AP, Jessica Castellano 10 AP and Caroline Hust 10 TX were excited to accept top prizes in the ELLE + RISD Fashion Next competition, which centered on an amazing runway show presented as part of New York's Fashion Week. Their designs, along with work by 19 other recent grads and current students in Apparel Design, Textiles and Jewelry + Metalsmithing, wowed the crowd at Lincoln Center on September 9, 2010.
ELLE invited RISD help celebrate its 25th anniversary via the runway show and competition, along with coverage on its website and in the October issue of the magazine. The 22 students who took part in the adventure (and are profiled on the Elle.com website) were chosen by ELLE editors and a panel of judges that included Tommy Hilfiger, Derek Lam, Nicole Miller 73 AP, Marcia Patmos and a number of other professionals in the field.
ELLE also shot great video coverage of the runway show and everything that led up to it in a five-part RISD Fashion Next series. Together, the videos capture much of the behind-the-scenes process that goes into preparing for a show of this caliber.
Students were competing for awards with significant cash value; Yoo won the $25,000 ELLE|RISD Design Award, Castellano the $25,000 Maybelline New York Fashion Next Award and Hust the Kate Spade New York Award, which includes a $10,000 prize. The ELLE People's Choice Award (another $10,000 prize) went toHeeYoen Uee 10 TX based on online voting in the weeks following the show.

Brazilian GP review: Vettel wins it the hard way
The season finale in Brazil was a fitting finish to a fascinating year of competition. At the end of a frantic, action-packed, wild race, Sebastian Vettel took his third title as Jenson Button ended the year with a win
Practice one - Friday am
The paddock talk was all about the potential for a saturated Sunday, but the Friday weather was sunny and extremely hot.
With those conditions seemingly unlikely to be replicated at any point later in the weekend, teams knew that knowledge gained on Friday might never be required. But they did at least have some 2013 tyres to evaluate from Pirelli.

As one would expect the eponymous parochial chapelry of Widdrington, again in Northumberland is of special note to the family. "This place was long the seat of the Widdrington family, many of whom at various periods greatly distinguished themselves against the Scots, and on other occasions. Sir William Widdrington, in 1642, was expelled from the house of commons for raising forces in defence of Charles I., by whom, in the following year, he was elevated to the dignity of baron; after the battle of Marston-Moor, he left the kingdom, when his estates were confiscated by the parliament, but returning in the service of Charles II., he was slain at the conflict of Wigan.
William, 4th lord Widdrington, was attainted in 1715, for his share in the rebellion of that year, and his property, to the amount of £100,000, was sold for the public advantage; thus consummating the downfall of a family that had flourished during a space of seven centuries." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

TIGERS: The Cinderella A's await Detroit in ALDS
DETROIT -- Don't pretend you saw this coming.
If you thought the Tigers' path to playoff success might have to come through the American League West champion, that's nothing noteworthy. The two-time AL pennant-winning Texas Rangers, who ended Detroit's postseason run in last year's AL Championship Series, was considered the no-brain pick for the No. 1 seed throughout 90 percent of the regular season.
Until the Oakland A's caught the Rangers on the final day of the regular season, scoring the final 11 runs of the game in a 12-5 win over the defending division champs, pulling the upset. It was their first day all season in first place, as they joined the 1951 Giants and 2006 Twins as the only teams to move into first for the first time on the final day of the season.
"That's just it. When you talk about 2012 and Oakland A's, you can put 'champ' next to it. I mean, it's a pretty special situation," A's outfielder Jonny Gomes said on XM Radio's "Home Plate" show after Wednesday's win. "Who thought we were going to be here? Well, I know a manager (Bob Melvin) and a general manager (Billy Beane), and a whole bunch of ballplayers that knew we could.
"It took us 162, and that's why we play them all."
That springboards the A's (94-68) into an AL Division Series matchup with the AL Central champion Tigers (88-74), while the Rangers (93-69) have to play the Orioles (93-69) in today's Wild Card game for the right to advance and face the top-seeded Yankees (95-67) in the other ALDS.
While the Orioles provided one of the best feel-good stories of the season, so did the A's, who trailed the Rangers by 13 games on June 30, and were 100-to-1 underdogs to win the division at the All-Star break.
No one expected them to do this.
"I mean, I can't explain it. How can you explain it? I tell you what, though, Bob Melvin, 17 rookies, Yoenis Cespedes coming over, first time on U.S. soil. Josh Reddick getting an opportunity. Sean Doolittle pitching his first season of professional ball. ... Where do we start?" Gomes said. "There's one thing that we all have in common, and that's camaraderie. You take fun away from this team, and I don't know what we got. We're playing for fun, we're playing for stuff like this. It's unbelievable."
Former Tigers infielder Brandon Inge, who is out for the season after shoulder surgery, called the A's a "team of DHs" when he returned to Comerica Park with his new team a few weeks ago.
More than that, it seemed like a team of mismatched parts.
After trading away All-Star pitchers Trevor Cahill and Gio Gonzalez, as well as former Rookie of the Year Andrew Bailey, the Athletics have had a rotation that's seemed duct-taped together all season.
And that was before they lost Bartolo Colon to a drug suspension, and Brandon McCarthy to injury, after he was hit in the head with a line drive.
Just fill in another youngster.
In all the A's got a Major League Baseball-record 53 wins from rookies this season.
They also got contributions from guys like Reddick (career-high 32 home runs, 84 RBI) and the import Cespedes (23 HR, 82 RBI), as well as a team-wide proclivity for the dramatic: Despite being shut out 16 times, the A's won 11 of 16 extra-inning games, posted 43 come-from-behind wins, and were the only team to post more walk-off wins (14) than the Tigers.
"Remarkable. Just remarkable. What they did today, what they've done all season. It's just a great story," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said in the FOX Sports Detroit postgame show after Wednesday's season finale. "I just tip my hat to Bob Melvin and the Oakland A's. It's going to be two good teams, trying to advance to the big prize, and that's what this is all about."
No one saw it coming, though.
No one.
"Everybody up there are geniuses for picking us," Gomes joked as a parting shot on his radio appearance.
They're hardly the only ones to miss that pick.

1 1.Detailed information:
2.Introduction of AAC Autoclave:
Autoclave is the pressure vessel and key equipment in the production of aerated concrete and autoclaved brick. It is applicable for curing the cut body or brick under high temperature and high pressure. The working medium is saturated water vapor.
The main parts are made by autoclave body, cover, hand-operated reducer, safe blocking device, support saddle, valve meter etc. The body is a principle and cylindrical device made of steel. The cover is made of a whole piece of pressed 16MnR steel board, and the flanges of cover and body adopt a whole piece of forged and processed 16Mn steel board.
The welding lines of pressed components are subjected to heat treatment and strict nondestructive test.
3.Raw Material Of AAC Block Production Line:
4.AAC Block Production Line:
5.Main Process Flow of AAC Block Production Line:
1. Raw material: Store the fly-ash (tailings etc), lime and gypsum after milling to the needed fineness (200 mesh)
2. Mixing the fly-ash, cement, lime, gypsum and water in the pot after batching.
3. Promote the slurry temperature to 40-50 degree by steam, and mill with aluminum powder for 1min.
4. Pour the slurry into the mould, and still in the curing room for frothing in 2-2.5h.
5. Cut it in to needed size by the cutter after the slurry approach the cutting intensity, and place the block on the trolley.
6. Autoclaved curing after the trolley enter into the autoclave (vacuum, rise the pressure, keep the pressure, reduce the pressure),keeping the constant pressure 1.2MPa. The whole process needs about 8 hours.
7. The products out of the autoclave are placed in a stack. We can recycle the scrap and the waste water from the whole production.
6.Advantages of AAC Blocks:
1.Lightweight: Porosity achieve 70% to 85%, volume density is generally 500-900kg/m3, as 1/5 of general concrete brick,the 1/4of clay brick, the 1/3 of hollow brick, and similar with wood can float in water. It can reduce building weight, reduction in the cost of integrated building,moreover,prolong building's life.
2.Fireproof: Most of the major raw materials is inorganic materials, so it has good fire resistance, and do not emit harmful gases when meet fire. Fire 650 degrees, as a refractory material, the thick up of 100 mm walls can reach to 4 hours fire resistance, 300mm thick up wall can reach to 9 hours fire resistance.
3.Sound insulation: Due to a unique porous structure, so it has a sound absorption capacity. The sound absorption capacity can reach of 100mm thick wall up to 41 db.
4.Insulation: As the material inside has a large numbers of the pores and porous, which has a good thermal insulation properties. The Thermal conductivity is 0.11-0.16W/MK, as 1/4-1/5 of brick. Typically, the insulation effect of 20cm thick aerated concrete wall is equivalent to 49cm thick solid brick walls ordinary.
5.Permeability: Result of material by the composition of many independent small pores, the moisture absorption is slow, in the volume of absorbent is 5 times of clay saturation do. When used in the bathroom, the wall can be treated to interface directly paste tiles.
6.Anti-seismic: The same building structure, improve the two seismic than the brick level.
7.What is the normal size of the AAC block?
Length (mm): 600
Width (mm): 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 250
Height (mm): 200, 240, 250, 300

- City produce stunning UCL fightback10:12 | 11/12/2013
Manchester City produced a stunning comeback to beat defending champions Bayern Munich 3-2 in the Champions League match at the Allianz Arena.
Manchester City came back from 2-0 down to pull off a remarkable 3-2 victory at Bayern Munich, but it was not quite enough to see the Blues leapfrog their hosts into top spot in Champions League Group D.
Both sides had already qualified for the knockout stage before this match, which was their concluding Group D fixture, and for second-placed City to overhaul defending champions Bayern and secure first position, it required them to win here with a better scoreline than 3-1 – that by which the German outfit beat them at the Etihad Stadium.
It appeared an unlikely prospect before and a virtual impossibility soon after kick-off as Bayern ripped through a helpless-looking City defence and raced into a 2-0 lead, with Thomas Muller striking in the fifth minute and Mario Gotze in the 12th.
Three minutes later the visitors had to substitute Micah Richards for Pablo Zabaleta, but their fortunes improved considerably from there as the game went on.
Having steadied the ship, City hit back through David Silva's close-range finish in the 28th minute and they then scored two second-half goals in quick succession to complete an incredible turnaround, with Aleksandar Kolarov converting a 59th-minute penalty before James Milner's cool finish three minutes later.
And while it was ultimately not sufficient for the Blues to take top spot, they have certainly made a statement about their credentials ahead of the next phase.
Boss Manuel Pellegrini had made it clear pre-match that, at the very least, he wanted a considerable improvement from City on their display in the initial meeting, in which they were completely outplayed by Bayern for much of the contest.
It looked in the early stages as if the Blues were set for an even more chastening experience but overall City delivered the kind of thing their manager had been looking for – and they might have even scored a further goal that would have sent them top if Manuel Neuer had not been alert to stop substitute Alvaro Negredo late on.
Pellegrini had also admitted in the build-up to the match that he was preparing for it with Saturday's Barclays Premier League home clash against table-toppers Arsenal also in mind, and his team selection reflected that.
The Blues' first XI showed seven changes from last weekend's draw at Southampton, with Joe Hart, Richards, Joleon Lescott, Javi Garcia, Jesus Navas, Edin Dzeko and the fit-again Silva being brought into it and the likes of Vincent Kompany, Zabaleta, Sergio Aguero, Negredo and Samir Nasri dropping out – the first four to the bench – as well as the suspended Yaya Toure.
For Bayern, meanwhile, there were just two alterations from their 7-0 win at Werder Bremen, and their potency was soon evident.
Hart, making only his second appearance in 10 City games, had already endured a nervy moment due to a miscued attempted backpass from Lescott when Muller put Bayern 1-0 up.
The forward chested down a lofted delivery from Dante, got the better of City's skipper-for-the-night Kolarov and fired past the England goalkeeper.
Hart got down to save a Dante header four minutes later, and then diverted the ball, struck by Franck Ribery, against the post, but it was not long before he was beaten again as Bayern kept up the heat.
City made a hash of trying to deal with a corner and the ball ricocheted via Mario Mandzukic's shot to the feet of Gotze, who converted from six yards out.
Richards limped off for Zabaleta soon after and there was further Bayern pressure to weather, with Ribery's shot being blocked and Hart denying Toni Kroos.
But then Fernandinho fired off-target at the other end and with City having settled down, Silva – back after six games out due to a calf problem – hooked in to make it 2-1, connecting with a Milner header from Navas' cross.
Navas put the ball into the side-netting within moments and it was a fairly even contest for the rest of the first half, although there were a couple of warnings from the hosts, with Hart having to come out to keep Gotze at bay and City's ex-Bayern man Martin Demichelis getting in the way of a Muller shot.
City made a solid opening to the second half and after Dzeko had called Neuer into action, Dante brought down Milner in the area and the penalty was awarded.
Kolarov made no mistake from the spot and then City were in front as Milner swept in a Navas cross which former Blues defender Jerome Boateng attempted to hack away but completely missed.
City kept pushing and sloppiness from Dante allowed Negredo the opportunity to make it 4-2 with 11 minutes to go, but Neuer saved.

Reiley Peak Climber's Log
mstender - Mar 21, 2018 11:25 pm Date Climbed: Mar 21, 2018Warm day in the Winchesters
The drive in was still grueling even though the road had been regarded recently. A couple of creek crossings were pretty gnarly and some hills pretty steep. The hike itself was pretty straight forward as you can see the entire route along the ridge just looks of rocks in the grass, Views were outstanding.
Dean - May 3, 2013 8:03 am Date Climbed: Apr 24, 2013Warm day and brush
When you aren't used to the heat, the hike is tougher than it should be. The drive in is actually the crux as the 11 mile "road" takes 90 minutes to drive. High clearance and good tires are mandatory as this one will beat the heck out of your vehicle.
Most the hike is best taken by going right over the ridge and avoiding traversing but we found that out on the way back. We needed lots of water as this can be a hot hike at this time of year.
surgent - Mar 4, 2009 5:39 pm Date Climbed: Mar 3, 2009Hike was fun, road in was gruesome
Four of us hiked this as an SAHC (Southern AZ Hiking Club) outing, coming in from the north. The forest road is brutal: it took us 90 minutes to cover about a dozen miles. The hike itself was easy enough, following the "bovine ridge" route - the slightly off-set NNW ridge starting at some cow tanks. The big beasts have managed to bash in some paths to within 400 feet of the top, and the paths in places help, but it's still a lot of loose rock, cactus, cow poo and steep sections. The topo map is in error: the summit is very clearly the south end of the smallish ridge, a good 10-15 higher than the northern points. Trip report
oldadit - Aug 7, 2008 2:45 pm Date Climbed: Nov 16, 2002with John Vitz
The brush on the east side of this peak is
reported to be terrible - in fact this is
one of the 3 Arizona "W" peaks that DPSers
fear on account of brush:
Winchester HP
Whetstone HP
Weaver Peak
John Vitz drove two of us in to the north side of
Brush Canyon, and the NE ridge to the summit was
a pretty decent bushwack route to the top.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONS! Bison Defeat Sam Houston State For First Division I Title
FRISCO, Texas (AP) - North Dakota State quarterback Brock Jensen made the most of the big plays by special teams and defense, and the Bison are finally champions again.
This title comes at a higher level.
Jensen threw a touchdown pass right after a fake punt, then had a 1-yard keeper for another score after a long interception return and the Bison beat top-seeded Sam Houston State 17-6 in their first FCS championship game Saturday.
"There was a real resolve and determination, especially by our seniors. We had a couple of tough years here,'' coach Craig Bohl said. "Our guys wanted to make sure we returned Bison football to national prominence. It's not easy to do. I want to thank them because today we returned Bison football to national prominence.''
The Bison (14-1) got the last of their five NCAA Division II national championship game victories in 1990, and claimed three other titles before the first championship game was played in 1973. This was their first title game since moving to the higher division in 2004.
"To come in and hold a team like Sam Houston to six points is a big deal,'' linebacker Chad Willson said. "This is the best defensive game we've played this year.''
Sam Houston (14-1) had its lowest-scoring game of the season, 33 points below its FCS-best average, and was denied an undefeated season and its first Football Championship Subdivision title. The Bearkats had only 210 total yards.
North Dakota State wasn't much better on offense, with only nine first downs and 235 total yards. They didn't even have a first down on their last four possessions before halftime, and started the third quarter facing another fourth down.
That's when punter Matt Voigtlander, who also is listed as a running back, took off and ran 27 yards on fourth-and-4.
"We had not run a fake all year. It was something we kept in our hip pocket,'' Bohl said. "We needed to establish some momentum. We were disappointed we couldn't get a first down in a normal way. Things were right and our players executed a right idea.''
Voightlander made the call for the fake when he looked outside and saw a wide-open lane.
"As open as it was, just about anyone could have done what I did,'' he said.
On the next play, Jensen threw a screen pass to D.J. McNorton, who then ran straight up to the field for a 39-yard touchdown play and a 10-6 lead.
"It was a momentum changer,'' Bearkats coach Willie Fritz said. "We're not a team that's used to playing from behind.''
North Dakota State had only one more first down after that until starting at the 1 following linebacker Travis Beck's interception and 63-yard return. Beck picked off the underthrown pass by Brian Bell, who managed to keep Beck out of the end zone despite his desperate leap trying to score.
On the next play, Jensen plunged in for the touchdown with 8:45 left.
"It hit me right in the chest,'' Beck said. "I said, 'I better catch this one.' I did what I could, but I couldn't get in. Luckily, the offense finished it off.''
Jensen finished 10 of 20 for 120 yards passing with an interception. Bell threw two interceptions and completed 12 of 31 passes for 115 yards.
It is the fourth consecutive year with a first-time FBS champion.
A crowd of 20,586 packed the professional soccer stadium in the suburb north of Dallas. The crowd was split fairly evenly among fans from Sam Houston State, which has its campus about 200 miles south, and North Dakota State located more than 1,000 miles north.
This was the second of a three-year commitment for the game in Frisco after 13 years in a row in Chattanooga, Tenn.
Sam Houston State opened with its lowest-scoring half of the season, but led 6-3 after Craig Alaniz kicked two field goals in the final 2:18 of the first half. The Bearkats, who failed to convert two earlier turnovers into points, followed that with a scoreless second half.
Alaniz kicked a 24-yard field goal with 2:18 left in the first half, capping a 41-yard drive on which Tim Flanders had carries of 15, 13 and 10 yards before being stuffed for no gain and a loss of 1 after Sam Houston got to the 6.
Flanders, who had 287 yards on 26 carries in the semifinal victory over Montana, ran 21 times for 84 yards in the finale.
After a three-and-out by North Dakota State, the Bearkats to a 31-yard field goal from Alaniz with 40 seconds left.
The Bearkats took over at the North Dakota State 41 midway through the first quarter when Sam Ojuri fumbled in the backfield after taking a handoff.
Flanders ran for 9 yards on the next play, but Sam Houston didn't gain another yard on that drive. Brian Bell was stopped for no gain on a fourth-and-1 keeper when he ran into a wall of defenders at the line and was unable to surge forward.
North Dakota State led 3-0 when Ryan Jastram kicked a 19-yard field goal at the end of the first quarter, ending a drive when Matt Veldman had a 29-yard catch lunging with his arms full extended and Ryan Smith's 14-yard catch on third-and-6 when Jensen threw just before being hit from behind.
Jensen threw only his fourth interception of the season early in the second quarter. Kenneth Jenkins picked off an underthrown ball at the 35, but the Bearkats had only one first down before punting.
"Obviously, we would have liked a better outcome. North Dakota State did a heck of a job. Their defense played well and we really struggled,'' center Travis Watson said. "They played us well and got us out of our rhythm.''

Silver Lake Partners won't be BlackBerry's savior.
Mike Bingle, managing partner of Silver Lake, a tech investment firm with more than $20 billion in assets, said Friday he was not interested in buying the struggling technology company, in response to a question at the Dow Jones Private Equity Analyst Conference in New York.
"I don't have anything magical to say about that situation," Bingle said. "We think they have a lot of intellectual property and hopefully the value will work out from that."

As part of ThinkAdvisor's Special Report, 21 Days of Tax Planning Advice for 2014, throughout the month of March, we are partnering with our Summit Professional Networks sister service, Tax Facts Online, to take a deeper dive into certain tax planning issues in a convenient Q&A format.
What is a qualified tuition program?
A qualified tuition program is a program established and maintained by a state (or agency or instrumentality thereof) or by one or more "eligible educational institutions" (see below) that meet certain requirements (see below) and under which a person may buy tuition credits or certificates on behalf of a designated beneficiary (see below) that entitle the beneficiary to a waiver or payment of qualified higher education expenses (see below) of the beneficiary. These plans are often collectively referred to as "529 plans." In the case of a state-sponsored qualified tuition program, a person may make contributions to an account established to fund the qualified higher education expenses of a designated beneficiary. Qualified tuition programs sponsored by "eligible educational institutions" (i.e., private colleges and universities) are not permitted to offer savings plans; these institutions may sponsor only pre-paid tuition programs.
To be treated as a qualified tuition program, a state program or privately sponsored program must:
(1) mandate that contributions and purchases be made in cash only;
(2) maintain a separate accounting for each designated beneficiary;
(3) provide that no designated beneficiary or contributor may directly or indirectly direct the investment of contributions or earnings (but see below);
(4) not allow any interest in the program or portion thereof to be used as security for a loan; and
(5) provide adequate safeguards (see below) to prevent contributions on behalf of a designated beneficiary in excess of those necessary to provide for the beneficiary's qualified higher education expenses.
(The former requirement that a qualified state tuition program impose a "more than de minimis penalty" on any refund of earnings not used for certain purposes has been repealed.)
With respect to item (3), above, the IRS announced a special rule stating that state-sponsored qualified tuition savings plans may permit parents to change the investment strategy (1) once each calendar year, and (2) whenever the beneficiary designation is changed. According to the IRS, final regulations are expected to provide that in order to qualify under this special rule, the state-sponsored qualified tuition program savings plan must: (1) allow participants to select among only broad-based investment strategies designed exclusively by the program; and (2) establish procedures and maintain appropriate records to prevent a change in investment options from occurring more frequently than once per calendar year, or upon a change in the designated beneficiary of the account. According to the IRS, qualified tuition programs and their participants may rely on the 2001 guidance pending the issuance of final regulations under IRC Section 529.
A program established and maintained by one or more "eligible educational institutions" must satisfy two requirements to be treated as a qualified tuition program: (1) the program must have received a ruling or determination that it meets the applicable requirements for a qualified tuition program; and (2) the program must provide that assets are held in a "qualified trust." "Eligible educational institution" means an accredited post-secondary college or university that offers credit towards a bachelor's degree, associate's degree, graduate-level degree, professional degree, or other recognized post-secondary credential and that is eligible to participate in federal student financial aid programs. For these purposes, qualified trust is defined as a domestic trust for the exclusive benefit of designated beneficiaries that meets the requirements set forth in the IRA rules, (i.e., a trust maintained by a bank, or other person who demonstrates that it will administer the trust in accordance with the requirements, and where the trust assets will not be commingled with other property, except in a common trust fund or common investment fund).
The term qualified higher education expenses means (1) tuition, fees, books, supplies, and equipment required for a designated beneficiary's enrollment or attendance at an eligible educational institution (including certain vocational schools), and (2) expenses for special needs services incurred in connection with enrollment or attendance of a special needs beneficiary. Qualified higher education expenses also include reasonable costs for room and board, within limits. Generally, they may not exceed: (1) the allowance for room and board that was included in the cost of attendance in effect on the date that EGTRRA 2001 was enacted as determined by the school for a particular academic period, or if greater (2) the actual invoice amount the student residing in housing owned and operated by the private college or university is charged by such institution for room and board costs for a particular academic period.
A safe harbor provides the definition of what constitutes adequate safeguards to prevent contributions in excess of those necessary to meet the beneficiary's qualified higher education expenses. The safe harbor is satisfied if all contributions to the account are prohibited once the account balance reaches a specified limit that is applicable to all accounts of beneficiaries with the same expected year of enrollment. The total of all contributions may not exceed the amount established by actuarial estimates as necessary to pay tuition, required fees, and room and board expenses of the beneficiary for five years of undergraduate enrollment at the highest cost institution allowed by the program.
Coordination rules. A taxpayer may claim an American Opportunity or Lifetime Learning Credit and exclude distributions from a qualified tuition program on behalf of the same student in the same taxable year if the distribution is not used to pay the same educational expenses for which the credit was claimed. An individual is required to reduce his total qualified higher education expenses by certain scholarships and by the amount of expenses taken into account in determining the American Opportunity or Lifetime Learning credit allowable to the taxpayer (or any other person).
A contribution to a qualified tuition program can be made in the same taxable year as a contribution to a Coverdell Education Savings Account for the benefit of the same designated beneficiary without incurring an excise tax. If the aggregate distributions from a qualified tuition program exceed the total amount of qualified higher education expenses taken into account after reduction for the American Opportunity and Lifetime Learning credits, then the expenses must be allocated between the Coverdell Education Savings Account distributions and the qualified tuition program distributions for purposes of determining the amount of the exclusion.
The total amount of qualified tuition and related expenses for the deduction for qualified tuition and related expenses is reduced by the amount of such expenses taken into account in determining the exclusion for distributions from qualified tuition programs. For these purposes, the excludable amount under IRC Section 529 does not include that portion of the distribution that represents a return of contributions to the plan.
Reporting. Each officer or employee having control over a qualified tuition program must report to the IRS and to designated beneficiaries with respect to contributions, distributions, and other matters that the IRS may require. The reports must be filed and furnished to the above individuals in the time and manner determined by the IRS. In 2001, the IRS released guidance regarding certain recordkeeping, reporting, and other requirements applicable to qualified tuition programs in light of the amendments to IRC Section 529 under EGTRRA 2001. Qualified tuition programs and their participants may rely on Notice 2001-81 pending the issuance of final regulations under IRC Section 529. (Note that reporting was not required for calendar years before 1999).
How are distributions from a qualified tuition program taxed?
Distributions from state qualified tuition programs are fully excludable from gross income if the distributions are used to pay "qualified higher education expenses of the designated beneficiary. (For the general rule governing nonqualified distributions, see below). Beginning in 2004, distributions from pre-paid tuition programs sponsored by private colleges and universities are also fully excludable from gross income to the extent those distributions are used to pay qualified higher education expenses of the designated beneficiary.
In the case of excess cash distributions, the amount otherwise includable in gross income must be reduced by a proportion that is equal to the ratio of expenses to distributions. In-kind distributions are not includable in gross income so long as they provide a benefit to the distributee which, if paid for by the distributee himself, would constitute payment of a qualified higher education expense.
Nonqualified distributions (i.e., distributions that are not used to pay "qualified higher education expenses") are includable in the gross income of the distributee under the rules of IRC Section 72 to the extent they are not excludable under some other Code provision. Distributions are treated as representing a pro rata share of the principal (i.e., contributions) and accumulated earnings in the account. For purposes of applying IRC Section 72, the Code provides that (1) all qualified tuition programs of which an individual is a designated beneficiary must generally be treated as one program, (2) all distributions during a taxable year must be treated as one distribution, and the value of the contract, income on the contract, and (3) investment in the contract must be computed as of the close of the calendar year in which the taxable year begins.
The IRS announced in 2001 that the final regulations are expected to provide that only those accounts maintained by a qualified tuition program and having the same account owner and the same designated beneficiary must be aggregated for purposes of computing the earnings portion of any distribution.] The IRS also stated that the final regulations are expected to revise the time for determining the earnings portion of any distribution from a qualified tuition account. Specifically, for distributions made after 2002 such programs will be required to determine the earnings portion of each distribution as of the date of the distribution. A different effective date applies to direct transfers between qualified tuition programs.
Penalties on nonqualified distributions. For taxable years beginning before 2002, a qualified state tuition program was required to impose a "more than de minimis penalty" on any refund of earnings not used for qualified higher education expenses of the beneficiary. For taxable years beginning after 2001, the state-imposed penalty is repealed.
In place of that penalty, a 10% additional tax will be imposed on nonqualified distributions in the same manner as the 10% additional tax is imposed on certain distributions from Coverdell Education Savings Accounts. However, the 10% additional tax will not apply to any payment or distribution in any taxable year before 2004 that is includable in gross income, but used for qualified higher education expenses of the designated beneficiary. According to the Conference Committee Report, this means that the earnings portion of a distribution from a qualified tuition program of a private institution that is made in 2003, and that is used for qualified higher education expenses, is not subject to the additional tax even though the earnings portion is includable in gross income. The 10% additional tax also does not apply if the payment or distribution is (1) made to a beneficiary on or after the death of the designated beneficiary, or (2) attributable to the disability of the designated beneficiary.
The IRS has announced that with respect to any distributions made after 2001, a qualified tuition program will no longer be required to verify how distributions are used or to collect any penalty, but the program must continue to verify whether the distribution is used for qualified higher education expenses of the beneficiary and to collect a "more than de minimis penalty" on nonqualified distributions made before 2002.
Rollovers. Any portion of a distribution that is transferred within 60 days to the credit of a "new designated beneficiary" (see below) who is a "member of the family" (see below) of the designated beneficiary, is not includable in the gross income of the distributee. (In other words, a distribution generally can be "rolled over" within 60 days from one family member to another). A change in designated beneficiaries with respect to an interest in the same qualified tuition program will not be treated as a distribution provided that the new beneficiary is a member of the family of the old beneficiary. A transfer of credits (or other amounts) for the benefit of the same designated beneficiary from one qualified tuition program to another is not considered a distribution; however, only one transfer within a 12-month period can receive such rollover treatment. According to the Conference Committee Report, a program-to-program transfer on behalf of the same beneficiary is intended to allow a transfer between a prepaid tuition program and a savings program maintained by the same state, or a transfer between a state-sponsored plan and a prepaid private tuition program.
Generally, member of the family means an individual's (1) spouse, (2) child or his descendant, (3) stepchild, (4) sibling or step sibling, (5) parents and their ancestors, (6) stepparents, (7) nieces or nephews, (8) aunts and uncles, or (9) in-laws, (10) the spouse of any of the individuals in (2) through (9), and (11) any first cousin of the designated beneficiary. (However, for any contracts issued before August 20, 1996, IRC Section 529(c)(3)(C) will not require that a distribution be transferred to a member of the family or that a change in beneficiaries may be made only to a member of the family). A designated beneficiary is (1) the individual designated at the beginning of participation in the qualified tuition program as the beneficiary of amounts paid (or to be paid) to the program; (2) in the case of a rollover of a distribution or change in beneficiaries within a family (as described above), the new beneficiary; and (3) in the case of an interest in a qualified tuition program that is purchased by a state or local government (or its agency or instrumentality) or certain tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organizations as part of a scholarship program, the individual receiving the interest as a scholarship.
Permanent extension of expiring provisions under PPA 2006: The tax-free treatment for qualified distributions from 529 plans (i.e., withdrawals used to pay qualified higher education expenses) under EGTRRA 2001 has been made permanent. In other words, this tax break did notend on December 31, 2010, as originally scheduled under EGTRRA 2001.

Since his death, none of his next-of-kin or relations has come forward to lay claims to this money as the heir. I cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased as all documentations will be carefully worked out by me for the funds $11.5M(Eleven Million Five Hundred thousand United states Dollars) to be released in your favour as the beneficiary's next of kin.It may interest you to note that I have secured from the probate an order of madamus to locate any of deceased beneficiaries. Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of my mutual business endeavour by furnishing me with the following; 1. Your Full Names and Address. 2. Direct Telephone and Fax numbers. These requirements will enable me file a letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary approvals in your favour before the transfer can be made. I shall be compensating you with $4.6 Million Dollars on final conclusion of this project, while the rest $6.9Million shall be for me. Your share stays with you while the rest shall be for me for investment purposes in your country. If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you, I await your urgent email.
