Wabash National Study Expands with Teagle Grantby Jim Amidon • May 7, 2008 Share:
Wabash College and the Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts at Wabash have received a $394,500 grant from the Teagle Foundation to further the work of the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education.
The Wabash National Study is a longitudinal study investigating critical factors that affect the outcomes of liberal arts education. The study, which began in the fall of 2006, has included 26 colleges and universities to date. The purpose of the Wabash National Study is to provide both the evidence and support necessary to help liberal arts institutions systematically improve student learning.
"We've always seen assessment as an important two-step process that involves both gathering high-quality evidence and using that evidence to promote changes that improve student learning," says Charles Blaich (right), who is the director of inquiries for the Center of Inquiry. "Over the past few years, many institutions have made great strides in the first area as they collect information about student learning from a variety of sources. Unfortunately, this growing assessment movement has hit a critical snag—the inability to move from merely collecting evidence to collecting and using the evidence to make changes that improve student learning. Institutions often find this second step to be the more challenging of the two."
The grant from the Teagle Foundation will allow the Center of Inquiry to invite 15 additional institutions to participate in a third round of the Wabash National Study, beginning in the fall of 2008, designed specifically to help institutions with the second step in assessment. The Center of Inquiry and the Teagle Foundation will underwrite the costs of administration, scoring, and reporting for all study instruments, and will provide partial support for a number of activities that are designed to help institutions use study data to improve student learning.
"This grant helps us build on the successes and the many lessons learned from the first two years of the Wabash National Study," says Blaich. "The grant from the Teagle Foundation will help us move beyond the hard work of gathering evidence about the impact our institutions have on their students to creating the means by which institutions can use evidence to improve the quality of liberal arts education."
The additional support from the Teagle Foundation marks an important change in the way the Center of Inquiry administers the Wabash National Study and collaborates with participating institutions to use study data. In this next round of the study, the Center has structured activities where institutions will work together and plan to use study data from the very beginning, before data collection even begins. "We hope that these activities will create an increasingly intentional process to support institutions' learning goals," says Blaich.
"Faculty, staff, and administrators at each institution that starts the study this fall will, in essence, join a four-year collaborative partnership with the Center and with representatives of the other institutions in the study," said Blaich. "The partnership between the Center, the Teagle Foundation, and the 15 institutions is highlighted by the fact that each institution has to commit substantial resources to work with and use the study data to bring about change."
"The Teagle Foundation's generous support enables the Center of Inquiry to sustain and expand its longitudinal study of the liberal arts," said Gary A. Phillips (left), Dean of the College at Wabash College and a Center of Inquiry board member. "The grant award is acknowledgment of the importance not only of the assessment of student learning and the Center's work to help institutions in this area but the need as well to go beyond the gathering of evidence to develop concrete strategies for institutional improvement."
"In a quiet, hands-on way, the Center works with colleges across the country to strengthen the liberal arts by strengthening student learning one school, one class, one student at a time. This is the good work that the Teagle Foundation grant underwrites," added Phillips.
Participating institutions will use study data to develop action plans to strengthen the teaching practices and institutional conditions that promote student learning on their campuses. During 2010–2011 institutions will implement their plans, while Center of Inquiry staff and Teagle Scholars provide assistance. By the end of the fourth year, Center staff and Teagle Scholars will review and evaluate the institutional-change programs in light of the data to determine their impact on student learning and identify the qualities that predict growth in student outcomes.
"We're looking for a substantial commitment from the institutions that will participate in the next round of the Wabash National Study and, in return, we're making a substantial commitment to these institutions. It truly is a collaborative effort," adds Blaich. "We believe that this commitment and partnership will be beneficial and improve the prospects of the study data having an impact at the institutions."
For more information on the Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts and the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education, contact Dr. Blaich at (765) 361-6331, by email, or visit the Center's website.
The Teagle Foundation provides leadership for liberal education, marshalling the intellectual and financial resources necessary to ensure that today's students have access to challenging, wide-ranging, and enriching college education. The Teagle Foundation believes that the benefits of such learning last for a lifetime and are best achieved when colleges develop broad and intellectually stimulating curricula, engage their students in active learning, explore questions of deep social and personal significance, set clear goals, and—crucially—systematically measure progress toward them. The Foundation is committed to disseminating widely the results of its work throughout the higher education community, while understanding that the knowledge generated by its grantees—rather than the funding that enabled their work—is at the heart of its philanthropy.

Hi Bee & Stefan,
Crisp, clean and yet I miss the appearance of bound note paper the old one suggested, however I guess we must not stifle progress for the sake of sentiment:-) More seriously though it's always been the quality and relevance of what you write which I value to render the format as virtually meaningless.

I don't have feedback, but wanted to ask you to do some special advent series like 3 yrs ago with "what if" questions.
That was amazing and I miss it!

Hi Phil,
Thanks... actually, you should see the bound notepaper background. If you don't, can you let me know what browser & screen resolution you are using? Best,

- Bee said...
Hi icalvino,
Gosh, you're right, it's almost December. I haven't even thought about an advent series. At this point it's highly unlikely I'll manage to put something together within 3 days, but I'll keep it in mind. Best,

I don't know which time-zone the timestamp "12:52 AM, November 28, 2011" is in, but as of 07:30 UTC of the same day, I can see the spiral binding on the left-hand side. Firefox 8 and XP -- my weekday set-up.

Hi navneethc,
We noticed yesterday that on our old laptop with a small screen resolution the background image is partly hidden below the main frame. I've tried to change the margins and paddings by hand, but the template doesn't have separate variables for all the different spacings, so then everything looks crappy. It would take me more time than I am willing to invest to fix this, so I'm wondering how many are affected. Best,

Hi Bee,Stefan
Like Phil said nice clean lines and I see your notebook using current Firefox.
Is this your intro page and thought not to consider links?
It is fun in a way to do a bit of change up.....don't know if you notice I went through a bit of a changeover myself. It was fun experimenting....another location did the same thing.
Sorts of keeps you current with HTML writing.

Well, since you ask, seems much too WHITE. Would much prefer a warmer tone for the page, perhaps like the cream color on this comment page.

Hi Don,
I see what you mean. I think this should be fixable, let me see what I can do. Best,

Hi Bee,
I see the notebook now, not sure why it didn't show up before; looking good.
- 6:34 AM, November 29, 2011

Now the background is rose-ish. I'm not sure about this, I might change it again.
- 8:53 AM, November 29, 2011

I don't like this background color to tell you the truth.
If you want a background color it could be light grey/silver

What's wrong with labcoat white?
Some of us lay people have an image of scientists:)
Of course backgrounds can be busy, soft and cuddly, and how does it help?
Another interesting features is to show quotes in their own background too? Linked url's with captions as title= " " never put : in it.
- 9:25 AM, November 29, 2011

Ok, so how about that? It's greyish with a hint of purple or so. It looks a little depressing to me. Maybe I'll try something yellowish.
- 9:29 AM, November 29, 2011
- Plato said...
Maybe Bee is writing a book?
Notice anything wrong with blogger lately? "memcache null and form registration" since switch over?
- 9:31 AM, November 29, 2011
- Bee said...
Hi Plato,
Nothing wrong with white in principle. But I noticed that on our new computer the white looks indeed VERY bright. It looks fine on the old one, but toning it down a little seems a good idea. Best,
- 9:32 AM, November 29, 2011
- Plato said...
You know with those blue links and the white one could have thought it was next to heaven? :)
No of course your right about appearance..the grey though......too dismal.
- 9:37 AM, November 29, 2011
- Giotis said...
Too purple
- 9:39 AM, November 29, 2011
- Bee said...
Yes, I don't like the grey either. How about that now, some light yellow, comes out with a hint of apricot or so. I kind of like that. I think I'll leave it at this for now, maybe play around with the other colors later.
- 9:41 AM, November 29, 2011

It reminds me of milk or baby's cream; I don't like either but it's tolerable
- 9:45 AM, November 29, 2011

On my desktop screen at work it didn't look good. Now In my laptop looks fine (softer)

Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) in the diagnostics and follow-up of patients with malignant tumours of the larynx, pharynx and oral cavity
Suche in Medline nach
|19. April 2011
Introduction: Narrow band imaging is an novel optical technique that enables early detection of precancerous and cancerous lesions by identifying pathological neoangiogenic pattern of tumours. The method uses illumination of the affected mucosal lining by two narrow light bands centred at 415 and 540 nm that corresponds to the peaks of light absorption of hemoglobin. These wavelengths have defined depth of penetration into the mucosa and thus can enhance subtle capillary network and deeper lying subepithelial vessels. Because of the abnormal capillary architecture superficial mucosal lesion can be detected.
Methods: 50 consecutive patients with suspicious superficial mucosal lesions have been evaluated by means of NBI. The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate the diagnostic significance of NBI. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the method have been evaluated.
Results: Results of the study proved the value of the technology in In the present study we highlight the significance of this method for refinement of evaluation of tumour extension in upper aero-digestive tract (UADT), higher efficiency in detection of tumour recurrencies and screening of secondary UADT malignancies. We present also the usefulness of this method in follow-up of patients previously treated by means of radiotherapy. We also compare this technique to other existing methods used with similar intent.
Conclusion: NBI has a clear value in the detection of early mucosal lesions of the UADT regarding its very high accuracy. Especially in outpatient settings the method is very helpfull in the follow-up of cancer patients.

A hitman falls for his handsome target, only to find that his passion may prove his downfall in director Poj Arnon's scintillating underworld drama. Maek (Rattanaballang Tohssawat) is a cold-blooded assassin for hire, and his latest assignment is to take out a police informant named Iht (Chaiwat Thongsaeng).
Just as Maek gets his mark in his sights, however, he has a last-second change of heart and decides not to pull the trigger.
In the ensuing gunfight, Maek takes a bullet and is dragged to safety by a grateful Iht. As Iht nurses Maek back to health, the wounded hitman and his married caretaker find their feelings for one another developing into something far deeper than friendship.
When word gets out about Maek and Iht's forbidden romance, everyone from Thailand's biggest crime boss to Iht's enraged wife comes gunning for them. Later, Maek returns to his boss in hopes of rectifying the situation. But Maek's boss isn't the most forgiving of criminal kingpins, and when Iht turns up unexpectedly, the bullets really start to fly.

The first thing I want to address is the Missouri Medicaid expansion.
The first thing I want to address is the Missouri Medicaid expansion. I have addressed this in the past but it appears as if some groups are employing robo calls and scare tactics to bring pressure on the Legislature and it seems like a good time to try once again to explain what is going on.
Going back a couple of years, when the Affordable Care Act was being proposed, the proponents of the act needed to find the money to make it possible to provide "free healthcare." You see, nothing is free, someone has to foot the bill! The proposal was that Medicaid would be expanded within the states and those new recipients of Medicaid would be receiving the "free healthcare" and the states would pick up the additional costs. As you can well imagine, this was met with outrage by the states, many of whom are in as bad a shape as the Federal Government.
Later on when the Supreme Court was asked to rule on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, they said that the Feds CANNOT force the states to expand Medicaid. This prompted healthcare organizations, who had made agreements to take less federal money for DSH payments in anticipation of adding 300,000 new Medicaid patients statewide, to organize a push to change the legislator's minds about expansion. Now, in all fairness, the Feds have promised to pay for the expansion for the next three years but with a $16 trillion debt, how long do you think that promise is good for?
The Governor has been flying around the state (in his new $5.7 million jet) saying that we will take back the expansion if the Feds back out. Are you kidding me? Try taking something like that away from 300,000 people! So, what is the answer? Everyone agrees that affordable healthcare is needed but we need to rework the system we have now before we add new people to the program. By not rushing to join the "new programs", we can work toward Patient Centered Reforms such as are currently working in Louisiana, Kansas, Texas, Wisconsion, and Utah.
We have adequate time to set up a State Exchange well ahead of the deadlines and I think we owe it to the people of Missouri to avoid an extremely expensive program that will have to get its financing from schools, roads and police. The only other option is huge tax increases and no one is calling me and asking for those. We will work toward the best possible options.
We have all the info from our survey tabulated. A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to everyone who took the time and effort to respond. I got back nearly three times as many surveys as my first mailing two years ago. Some of the results surprised me but on the whole, I think we are just conservative thinking citizens. Nearly 64 percent of you think that we should control our own Health Care Exchange. Only 23 percent think we should let the Federal Government take a large role in the process. Surprisingly enough, 47 percent answered that we should not put an exchange in place period and 32 percent responded that we should expand Medicaid if it means the state will only pick up a small share of the expense. Seventeen percent agreed to Missouri paying a larger share than originally promised. Sixty-five percent replied that we should not expand Medicaid under any circumstances. On the subject of Paycheck Protection, 78 percent responded that we should implement the law, 21 percent feel that the current system works well enough. The questions on teachers salaries was pretty well split. Fifty percent responded that teachers should remain on the current step based system while 66 percent favor a merit based system. Fifty percent believe that teachers deserve an annual increase regardless of the system. On Medical Malpractice, 65 percent of you believe that the Legislature needs to reinstate the $350,000 cap, 62 percent of you would like that question to come before the voters and only 25 percent think we are better off without caps.
Many of you added comments to your surveys and I have read every one of them. I have to admit, some comments were less than flattering, but I really appreciate knowing that you don't agree with me. My intent is to do the will of the majority of my constituents, but each and every voter is entitled to their opinion and more than once I have changed my personal opinion after talking to one of you about a proposal before the Legislature. I'm glad to say that the good comments outnumbered the bad ones by quite a bit. Don't worry, Jane won't let me get a big head! She does a pretty good job of keeping me in my place. We have a lot of work ahead of us now that break is over, I'll report more next time. Until then, I am and remain, in your service.

Two of the top teams in the Big Ten Conference square off in Columbus on Saturday night, as No. 21 Nebraska comes calling on No. 12 Ohio State.
Nebraska split its first two games of the season, winning at home versus Southern Miss (49-20) and losing at UCLA (36-30). The Cornhuskers regrouped after the setback to the Bruins to reel off three consecutive wins, and they recently matched the second-largest comeback in school history by battling back from 17 points down in the second half to claim a 30-27 win over the visiting Wisconsin Badgers in last week's conference opener. The win avenged an embarrassing 48-17 loss to UW in Nebraska's first-ever Big Ten bout last year.
Coach Bo Pelini was proud of his team after the recent win, and rightfully so.
"We made it hard on ourselves, but as a football team, we made a lot of mistakes in that game. We didn't play our best football, we didn't play nearly as well as we are capable of playing. But we got a 'W,' and we stayed the course as a football team. Our guys showed the character, the toughness, the perseverance to overcome not playing our best football."
As for Ohio State, it has won all five of its games to this point, making Urban Meyer just the third head coach in school history to begin his tenure at 5-0. Meyer improved to 11-0 all-time in conference openers as a head coach after his Buckeyes slipped past Michigan State on the road last weekend, 17-16. It was the first away game for OSU, which opened the campaign with four straight in Columbus, and the team will play five of its first six and six of its first eight in front of the hometown faithful.
With his first Big Ten game under his belt, Meyer was obviously pleased with the effort his team put forth last week, but was also quick to praise the opposition.
"This was a war, and this was two sledgehammers going at each other. I know the Big Ten has taken some heat; I thought that was a great game, great atmosphere, bunch of great players on the field…We played at the next level and that was good for college football and good for the Big Ten."
Nebraska trails in the all-time series with Ohio State, 2-1, but its lone victory came in last year's clash in Lincoln, the first Big Ten game ever played there, as the Huskers overcame a 21-point deficit to prevail, 34-27. It was the largest lead ever squandered by the Buckeyes in a loss.
This bout marks Nebraska's first visit to Ohio Stadium since 1956.
Nebraska QB Taylor Martinez threw for 181 yards and two TDs last Saturday against Wisconsin, while rushing for 107 yards and a score to fuel the improbable Cornhusker rally. RB Rex Burkhead added 86 yards on 18 totes for an NU offense that gained 440 total yards, compared to just 295 for the Badgers.
The Cornhuskers, who scored on all five trips to the red zone, were fortunate to have only lost two fumbles, as they put the ball on the carpet a total of six times. Additionally, they were penalized six times for a loss of 70 yards, compared to just twice (15 yards) for the Badgers.
The Huskers are the Big Ten's top offensive team, averaging 44.8 points and 521.4 yards per contest. Typically, they use a bruising ground attack (308.8 ypg, 15 TDs) to batter their opponents into submission, with RB Ameer Abdullah leading the charge with 486 yards and five scores. Fellow RB Rex Burkhead (273 yards, three TDs) is a major contributor as well, and Martinez averages nearly 60 rushing ypg while finding the end zone three times.
A 67.8 percent passer who averages 211.8 ypg, Martinez has thrown 11 TD passes and only one interception, and three different receivers have logged double- digit catches, led by Quincy Enunmwa (16 receptions, 173 yards, one TD). WR Kenny Bell leads the team with 330 yards and four receiving TDs.
Wisconsin star RB Montee Ball ran for 90 yards and three TDs last week, but the Huskers were credited with three sacks and 12 TFL in all, dropping their net rushing yield to just 56 yards. LB Will Compton had 10 tackles, including three TFL and one sack.
Nebraska is giving up 20.6 ppg to tie for seventh in the Big Ten heading into action this week, and the "Blackshirts" have performed better against the pass (188.0 ypg, fourth in the league) than they have the run (152.8 ypg, 10th). Compton is at the top of the team's tackles list with 44, six of which have been for negative yardage, including three of NU's 19 sacks.
Ohio State QB Braxton Miller threw for 179 yards and ran for another 136, helping the Buckeyes slip past Michigan State in East Lansing last Saturday. In addition to Miller's exploits, WR Philly Brown finished with a career-high 12 catches for 84 yards, and WR Devin Smith turned a pair of grabs into 79 yards and a TD.
Miller is hitting 62.8 percent of his passes for 186.6 ypg, and he has eight TD tosses and only three interceptions. Brown is his favorite target, catching 32 balls for 317 yards and a score, although Smith (19 receptions, 351 yards, four TDs) has been even more productive with fewer chances. Miller is clearly the Buckeyes' best option when running the football, toting it 90 times for 577 yards and seven TDs.
Last week, the Ohio State defense did an exceptional job shutting down the Michigan State rushing attack, which features the Big Ten's leading rusher (Le'Veon Bell), yielding a mere 34 net yards on 22 carries. DB Bradley Roby led the team with nine tackles and he added a pair of PBU.
Meyer was ecstatic with the way his defense played against a formidable ground attack, "Are you kidding? If you had to say who's the MVP … that D-line and linebackers did a very, very nice job stopping a very good rushing attack."
For the season, the Buckeyes are giving up an average of 17.0 ppg to rank third in the conference, and their effort against the run (100.8 ypg, third- best in the league) has been far superior to that versus the pass (275.6 ypg, 11th). The OSU defense ranks among the Big Ten leaders in both interceptions (seven) and sacks (12). LB Ryan Shazier continues to pace the team with 48 tackles.

The city of Springfield on Thursday began releasing a long-awaited Illinois State Police report on its investigation of alleged misconduct by two city detectives a decade ago.
The city of Springfield on Thursday began releasing a long-awaited Illinois State Police report on its investigation of alleged misconduct by two city detectives a decade ago.
Then-Police Chief Don Kliment asked state police to conduct the investigation in June 2005 after receiving a letter from an attorney representing a Springfield police sergeant. The sergeant alleged that detectives Paul Carpenter and Jim Graham had used unregistered confidential informants in investigations and had provided false information in sworn statements used to obtain search warrants, among other instances of "cutting corners in police work."
The sergeant, whose name has been blacked out in the released documents but who refers to himself as supervisor of the department's narcotics unit, wrote in his own memo to Kliment that his attempts to call the alleged misconduct to the attention of his superiors fell on deaf ears. The memo details 18 allegations involving misconduct by the detectives or failures by supervisors.
Police Chief Kenny Winslow, whose appointment the city council confirmed Tuesday, said he was "troubled by the allegations" contained in a summary of the state police report.
"I believe a majority of the allegations revolve around a lack of supervision, accountability, and poor decision making," Winslow said in a prepared statement released Thursday. "Our current practices do not reflect what is portrayed in the report."
Since the time covered in the report, the major case unit, to which Carpenter and Graham belonged, has been dissolved and the criminal investigations division has been divided into units that deal with crimes against people and crimes against property. "The restructure has led to enhanced supervision and accountability," Winslow said.
A little at a time
Despite efforts from The State Journal-Register and other local media to make the report public, the city fought its release for years. That changed last fall when Sangamon County Circuit Judge John Schmidt ruled that the 2,300-page report and other police internal affairs records are subject to release under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
However, the city did not respond to the SJ-R's Oct. 11 request for the report until this week. The release followed a public statement from Illinois Times reporter Bruce Rushton at a city council meeting earlier this month. Rushton, who also requested the report, asked for city officials to give him a date on which he would receive the document.
Corporation Counsel Todd Greenburg told alderman at Tuesday's council meeting that his office had reached an agreement with Rushton's attorney, Don Craven, to release the report in segments. Greenburg said his office can review about 250 pages every 30 days, which would stretch the releases out over nine months.
That length of time is needed to go through the report and black out any information, such as names of confidential informants, that is not subject to disclosure under the open-records law.
"We are trying very, very hard to make sure that confidential sources do not have enough information given in there that people could deduce who those confidential sources are," Greenburg said. "Our nightmare is that somebody would be able to read them, and somebody gets killed."
Craven said that, although he agreed to parceling out the release, he hopes the city doesn't take several months to make the whole report public.
"I'm not sure it's in anybody's best interest to have this become the book of the month club for 2014," he said.
Ward 5 Ald. Sam Cahnman also said he's hoping for a quicker release.
"It should have already been out," he said. "There's no reason for this long a delay."
Detective reinstated
Carpenter and Graham were fired in 2006 after being accused of violating numerous department rules. Carpenter was also charged with wire fraud and official misconduct, but those charges were later dismissed.
A 2007 federal lawsuit accused Carpenter, Graham and other police of lying to obtain a search warrant for Larry Washington's home and vehicle and planting drugs in the home. Washington and Jennifer A. Jenkins were arrested after police said they found a half-kilogram of cocaine in graham cracker boxes in the pantry. A federal jury acquitted Carpenter and Graham in December 2010.
Carpenter was reinstated to the police department in September 2011 following an arbitrator's ruling and received $191,655 in back pay. His current salary is $82,488.
Another lawsuit last year accused Carpenter of threatening a couple outside their home in April 2012 while on duty. The city settled the suit out of court in August for $24,000.
Carpenter forfeited two days' compensatory time to serve a two-day suspension he received in connection with the incident, according to records released to the SJ-R last year.

One of the key things that dentists and hygienists must learn in their training is how to effectively sterilize office equipment and surfaces in order to control for infection.
Not only is it imperative that all staff understand these processes for optimal patient care, they also have to make sure that processes are efficient and that equipment is maintained as they proceed with teeth cleaning and other procedures.
Here are the ways that dentists keep their equipment fully and completely sterilized for your safety.
Sterilization Areas
All dentists should have special areas that are separate from the regular treatment areas that are designated for equipment cleaning and sterilization. Having a separate area is the best way to guarantee that no contamination takes place between instruments. This is also where dentists dispose of special surgical tools.
Ultrasonic Cleaners
Ultrasonic cleaners are state-of-the-art devices that actually use sound to clean. It's better than direct scrubbing because it reduces the chance of damaging delicate equipment.
Ultrasonic cleaning is used for almost all equipment. These are cleaned in specialty solutions and never with regular household products, which can damage the cleaners. They are placed in special instruments for a specific period of time and covered with a lid to avoid any contamination.
An autoclave is only one example of the type of high-powered sterilization equipment that is regularly used. Autoclaves are chambers that essentially blast equipment with extremely hot, pressurized steam to kill microorganisms. Typically instruments are cleaned in specific cycles and are left in the autoclave for long periods of time to ensure that they are thoroughly disinfected.
You've probably seen dentists pull equipment out of cupboards that is wrapped in plastic. After equipment is sterilized, it's imperative that it arrives to the patient without any risk of contamination. That's why dentists use paper, plastic and other types of packaging to help keep instruments safe while they're sitting on the shelf. Packaging not only keeps equipment safe, it can also be a useful organizational tool.
Sometimes dentists use monitoring tools (tools that test for bacteria and other microorganisms) to check instruments before use as well.
If you are getting your teeth cleaned at a new dentist and are wondering about their sterilization techniques, ask your dentist for an "autoclave validation," which is a report from the autoclave company that proves that the dentist is using it properly and regularly.
These are only a few examples of the ways that dentists today take extra care to prevent infection. When you are booking your next teeth cleaning in Lowell, don't be shy about asking your dentist about their sterilization and cleaning techniques.
This will be accomplished by dental expert professionist. A hygienist works with processes that assist to enhance general oral health in patients. However, guarantee that you will find no hard feelings.

The countdown has begun to the London 2012 Olympic Games, where sports will take over centre stage from the construction of the immense Olympic Park at Stratford and the venues will be put to the test. This Friday 27 July, the gates to the park will open and the first non-competing visitors will gain access to years' worth of blood, sweat and tears: the London Olympic Park.
More than 200 buildings had to be demolished before construction could begin on the 587acre London Olympic Park site back in 2006, the land being reclaimed from a former industrial brownfield site. 30 new bridges have been inserted and more than 600,000 tonnes of soil washed to remove any trace of contamination. Since the Victorian Era the site has been used for landfilling, a soap factory, gas works and various heavy industrial operations. It is now a verdant green space that will be free and open to the public one year from the opening ceremony on 27 July.
Main London airports Gatwick and Heathrow have been flooded with athletes, trainers and sporting professionals over the past few weeks and are preparing for the mass influx of spectators. 80% of all travellers to the UK for the Games will pass through Heathrow with 13 August estimated to be the busiest day in the airport's history. 1,000 volunteers have been recruited to help with this flood of people, a dedicated Games Terminal has been constructed, additional lifts have been inserted to reunite Paralympians with their wheelchairs on arrival, and media facilities will be available to travelling journalists.
The immense investment that has gone into updating the city's infrastructure - Transport For London (TfL) has revamped many of the main underground stations ready for the Games as part of its £10bn 5-year Investment Programme - and wide-scale regeneration projects has caused some critics to suggest that the Olympics should be held in one location repeatedly.
Yesterday, an article by Miles Goslett was published on an online news site, suggesting that the Games be held in the birthplace of the event every four years. It read: "Instead of the Olympics circus erecting its vast stadia at different points around the globe every four years the Games should always be held in the same city - Athens, where the first modern Olympics took place in 1896 in recognition of the Ancient Greeks effectively inventing the Olympics after holding athletic competitions at Olympia from 776BC. Rather than disrupting a different global city at regular intervals by imposing vast bills on its taxpayers to build new sporting complexes whose future use cannot be guaranteed…the International Olympic Committee could rid hundreds of millions of people of the Olympic threat at a stroke."
It is true that vast quantities of taxpayers' well-earned pounds have been channelled into constructing the London Olympic Park, external sporting venues and associated infrastructure however much of this will be retained in the comprehensive legacy plan, revitalising some of the most destitute parts of the capital. It is also estimated that £10bn of revenue will be generated for the British economy in the 29 days that the Olympics and Paralympics are being held.
Several of the venues have been well documented through their design and construction, even winning prestigious architecture awards before the Games have begun. Hopkins Architects' curvilinear Velodrome is the jewel in the Olympic crown, which took the People's Choice Award at the Stirling Prize contest in 2011, the RIBA Award for Architecture and the New London Architecture 'Play' Award.
Also at the top of the list of architecture favourites is Zaha Hadid's ethereal Aquatics Centre; an adaptable form, this elegantly swooping structure features two soaring wings of seating which will be removed post-Games to create a smaller venue for public use. Word is however that the contestants of the Backstroke event have had trouble staying in their lanes as the straight lines of ceiling tiles usually used as a guide are missing in Hadid's curved roof.
The most disliked architectural feature of the London Olympic Park has to be Anish Kapoor and Cecil Balmond's ArcelorMittal Orbit. A mangled scarlet steelwork beast it arches into the sky at 115m in height topped with a viewing platform and encircled with a thick illuminated staircase.
Just as important as these permanent venues are the temporary ones. Wilkinson Eyre's Basketball Arena is a textured white box constructed using PVC. It is one of the largest temporary venues in the Games and two thirds of construction materials used in the building will be recycled after the summer events.
Also utilising recyclable PVC is Magma Architecture's Shooting Venue at the Royal Artillery Barracks offsite in Woolwich. This white form is punctuated with protruding blue nodules which disrupt the blank canvas of the temporary venue and provide natural ventilation and light.
It is important to remember that what we see before us now is not how the London Olympic Park will be even a handful of months from now. AEC powerhouse AECOM oversaw the masterplanning of the Park and is currently working on the plans for the Brazilian Olympics four years from now.
The first consultancy to masterplan for two consecutive Games, the firm says of its concept: "The AECOM-designed masterplan that secured London's bid for the Games placed long-term urban regeneration of the Lower Lea Valley as its primary driver. This masterplan vision for the Olympic Park was created simultaneously with an idea of how the site would look in its post-Games legacy as a new district for London designed around a park. The concept was to design in reverse order…future first, with the staging of the Games as an event on route to completion." Whether the regeneration plans for this deprived area of London live up to their promise of revitalising the area we have only to wait and see, but for now, the countdown continues.

Indiana star Zeller makes it official: he's heading for the NBA
After returning to Indiana University to pursue a second shot at an NCAA championship that ultimately fell short again, 7-foot sophomore center Cody Zeller decided that if the Hoosiers are going to win a title, it will be without him.
The talented sophomore and former prep Indiana 2011 Mr. Basketball announced Wednesday afternoon at a press conference that he will leave the school early and make himself eligible for this year's NBA college draft.
The main reason Zeller cited was several key teammates -- mostly upperclassmen that are graduating -- are also leaving the team.
''IU will have a great year next year, but the guys I was closest to are graduating,'' Zeller said.
Zeller also cited the reason that he wants to be involved this summer with the Christian basketball camps his parents and brothers run. NCAA rules prohibit such involvement for current college athletes, even if the camps are non-profit or charitable in nature.
Zeller becomes the second Hoosier star to declare early for the draft in as many days. Teammate Victor Oladipo announced Tuesday -- at the same IU Assembly Hall where Zeller made his intentions official on Wednesday -- that he was also leaving for the NBA.
Indiana lost to Syracuse in the regional semifinals, which pretty much made up Zeller's mind to leave school for the pro ranks.
"Barring injury, I kind of knew it might be my last year, so I enjoyed every minute of it," Zeller said.
"There was a sense of accomplishment playing my last game at Assembly Hall, playing in my last (NCAA) tournament.''
During Zeller's two years with the team, the Hoosiers won 56 games and reached the NCAA tournament regional semifinals both times. Zeller led the Hoosiers in scoring (16.5 points), rebounding (8.1) and blocks (45). He also shot 56.2 percent from the field, nearly 76 percent from the free throw line and was second on the team in steals (37).

Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius was arrested Thursday after a 30-year-old woman was shot dead at his home in South Africa.
Police said the 26-year-old Pistorius, a double-amputee known as "Blade Runner," was taken into custody after the shooting early Thursday morning at his home in a gated complex.
Lt. Col. Katlego Mogale told The Associated Press that police received a call that there had been a shooting at the runner's home. Mogale said when police arrived, they found paramedics trying to revive the woman, who had been shot an unspecified number of times. Mogale, who was at the scene, said the woman died at the home. Police have not released the name of the woman.
Officers found a 9-mm pistol at Pistorius' home. Mogale said Pistorius was expected to appear in court later Thursday.
Several South African media outlets reported that the woman was Pistorius' girlfriend and that he may have mistaken her for a burglar and shot her, but police did not clarify the woman's relationship to Pistorius.
South Africa's Sports Confederation and Olympic committee released a statement saying they had been "inundated" with requests for comment, but were not in a position to give out any details of the shooting.
"SASCOC, like the rest of the public, knows no more than what is in the public domain, which is there has been an alleged fatal shooting on the basis of a mistaken identity and an apparent assumption of a burglary," the South African Olympic committee said. "The organization is in no position to comment on the incident other than to say our deepest sympathy and condolences have been expressed to the families of all concerned."
SACOC said it would be inappropriate to comment because of the ongoing police investigation.
Pistorius made history in London last year when he became the first double-amputee track athlete to compete in the Olympic Games. He is one of South Africa's and the world's most famous athletes.
Having had both his legs amputated below the knee before his first birthday because of a congenital condition, he campaigned for years to be allowed to compete against able-bodied athletes. Having initially been banned because of his carbon fiber blades — which critics said gave him an unfair advantage — he was cleared by sport's highest court in 2008 and allowed to run at the top events.
He competed in the 400 meters and on South Africa's 4x400 relay team at the London Games, making history after being have his selection confirmed on South Africa's team at the very last minute. He also retained his Paralympic title in the 400 meters in London.
Imray reported from Cape Town, South Africa.


text: Two Ways to Prevent Harvest Loss September 17, 2013 12:00 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Nate Birt Top Producer Managing Editor Email Harvest loss can be attributed to two basic causes: Machine conditions and dropped ears. That's according to Farm Journal field agronomist Ken Ferrie in Episode 13 of Corn College TV Season 3. First, look for ways to reduce header loss by adjusting its speed, the speed of the combine or both. "How can we stop the shatter or the drop through the head itself? That's going to be the width of your stripper plates, and you're going to hug them in as tight as you can." (Click here to order the Corn College TV Education Series on DVD.) On the combine, review factors such as concave settings, rotor speeds and fans on clean grain. Meanwhile, dropped ears can result from poor nutrients, weather, rootworm and other factors. These downed ears can germinate and serve as a bridge for diseases and insects from one crop to the next. To avoid leaving these in the field, have a plan of action at harvest. "See what stalk quality is like, and know which field's got to come out first," Ferrie says. "You don't want to be spending days on a field that's already down while you have standing corn in the process of falling down."

Launched in 2016, Loveness Lee is a contemporary British jewelry brand for women with a daring attitude to style. The jewelry is handmade in London using altered, ancient jewelry techniques and traditions. Natural forms, vivid hues and irregular textures define the brand's unique and statement style.
Serendipity plays a big part in the design process as the shapes, colors and textures - although consistently recognisable - cannot be pre-determined. The 'Trans-natural' concept behind the jewelry is envisaged from a collaboration between nature, science and art working in unison.
Using a skilled process of cuttlebone casting and patination, Loveness Lee manipulates traditional techniques to create naturally free-formed shapes and textures; these are then meticulously hand-treated to coax an array of bright pigments and patterns. The extraordinary creation process makes each piece of Loveness Lee jewelry as unique as the woman who wears it.

Tortoise Regrets Hare

Steady As She Goes

Others may have arrived at folk music with an eye on low cost forms of self-expression or as access to an encounter group where a battered guitar and an ability to wail ensure you of an in; but James Yorkston has always kept his own counsel. Though his records started appearing around the time of a renewed interest in acoustic music, Yorkston's ruminations on love / lust / longing / liquor share a more eternal, resigned, Celtic feel with the battered reflections of Jacques Brel, Shane McGowan and Bert Jansch than any of his contemporaries.
A native of Fife, Yorkston was an integral early member of the Fence Collective whose reach across contemporary music continues to lengthen: King Creosote, The Aliens, KT Tunstall. All the above share Fence roots and a shackles - off mentality with Yorkston.
Over three albums of flinty beauty: Moving Up Country (2002) Just Beyond The River (2004) & The Year Of The Leopard (2006) and the wonderfully ramshackle rattle bag compilation Roaring The Gospel (2007) Yorkston has established a canon as singular and intimate as any current songwriter. Yorkston has the true stand off affability of a storyteller that allows him to happily sit in on a high-spirited ceilidh, or hoarsely join on the harmonies at one of the Fence Collective's legendary homegames.
Yorkston is very much at home on stage, his live shows evolving into celebratory, somewhat rambunctious affairs.
At Christmas he likes to play to a crowd in fancy dress, at the Green Man Festival he is joined on-stage each year by crowd member Jason for some backing vocalised percussion, which always makes a lot of sense at the time. Too modest a man to claim his inheritance, Yorkston has invited Martin Carthy to share a stage with him and paid tribute to Lal Watson in song, in both cases uncovering a shared sense of the history and the gruff reverence needed to do justice to traditional songs. A cursory listen to his songs demonstrates Yorkston's blood deep understanding of the dynamics of folk music, storytelling, and singing your life even as it unfurls around you. Immerse yourself in one of his albums in the right conditions: an open fire and an open bottle and you will wake up feeling you've made a friend for life.
James Yorkston returns with his 4th studio album When the Haar Rolls In. All the ambition, beauty and pathos of his previous albums is sweeping through – and he's even bought back the full, lush arrangements that popularised his early work. Self produced; this album has the sound of a man let loose – un-restrained by the hand of an outside producer or the expectation of a major label's desperation for a hit album.
Alongside King Creosote, The Aliens, Beta Band & Kate Tunstall, arriving here we have another slab of Fence Collective - East Neuk of Fife braw-ness. James is working once again with his trusty Athletes, along with some more unexpected names – Norma Waterson, Mike Waterson, Marry Gilhooly, Olly Knight. Not sure who they are? Have a wee look-up, filed under "legendary English folk family".
There's more tales of waking up drunk in unfamiliar surroundings, throwing rocks at magpies, dogs chasing ghosts, stubborn sea winds, regrets and joys and smiles and peace and quiet and love and hate and more love. Better than that though, it's a beautiful, honest album.
This band is a collaboration with Fence Collective. You'll also like HMS Ginafore. This artist is a collaboration with James Yorkston & The Big Eyes Family Players and James Yorkston.

Once Again, If Someone Has The Same Lame Story Idea You Had, It's Not Copyright Infringement
from the just-saying dept
The court acknowledged that the short story and the Disney movies had some elements in common: they all feature a threat to Christmas and a talking dog; all feature a dog named Paws, Santa Paws or Puppy Paws; they all have magical icicles; etc. There also is some similar dialogue. However, "apart from these abstract similarities, the remaining elements of the plaintiffs' short story and defendants' movies are substantially dissimilar," the court notes. "Furthermore, most of the aforementioned similarities between plaintiffs' short story and defendants' works are not protected by copyright law."While we can point to cases like this and say that the system is working, just the fact that such cases so often get filed shows a real problem. We've so built up this perception of copyright-over-all and "ownership society" that people really do think that anyone having the same idea as them must have infringed -- and are so sure of it that they're willing to go to court. That's a symptom of a much bigger problem with the system and the way people view it today.

Eager for Fresh Market
The area is well served by shopping malls. Chestnut Hill offers a different and unique retailing experience. The retailers in our community present a variety of specialty shops, which are appreciated by all those who desire a 'High Street' atmosphere.
There is no doubt that retailers have had considerable challenges in recent years, if not decades. I applaud those individuals or organizations with the admirable fortitude and resources to take a long term view for the greater benefit of all. I say " bring on the tea shops, antique shops, florists and others including home decision specialists."
Fresh Market at 8200 Germantown Avenue is a very considerable project worthy of our illustrious forebears. I will join the silent majority who welcome the doors opening in this location. This along, with the opening of other specialty shops, will happen in a more timely manner if we share a positive attitude.

Thanks for clarity about Bowman
I would like to thank Ed Budnick for having the courage to be so clear concerning the properties that Richard Snowden owns ("If he builds it they might not come," July 7).
Mr. Snowden's objection to the new trash cans not being aesthetically pleasing cannot compare to how unpleasing it is to see so many empty storefronts in Chestnut Hill. I have lived in the area for over 30 years and I cannot understand why he is allowed to construct more and more buildings when perfectly fine existing ones are vacant.
I am also opposed to the Fresh Market because, as I write, more and more stalls at the Farmer's Market are being vacated.

Happy with Book Festival
I wanted to share that I thoroughly enjoyed the three workshops I attended as part of the Chestnut Hill Book Festival. Special thanks to the speakers for donating their time and resources to other writers. The workshops were well organized and I hope to get to more of them next year.
Kudos to The Liar's Club members, the Philadelphia Stories representatives and the Chestnut Hill Community Association and any others who were involved for putting on this friend-raising event. People came from near and far, ate at the local restaurants, and were exposed to what Chestnut Hilll has to offer.
Barbara Sherf
Delighted to work on Book Festival
The best part of working on the Chestnut Hill Book Festival Committee for the past three years has been to learn what a vibrant, smart, prolific number of writers live in the Philadelphia area and that they are a generous, caring, connected group of really interesting people.
A whole lot of learning took place last weekend for those of us who attended the Book Festival. From nationally known authors to those who are delighting in their first publication, our writers covered crime, espionage, family ties, forgiveness, publishing, writing, poetry, blogging and more. We can't thank them enough for lending us their time and expertise.
As always, we have support from the Chestnut Hill community. Thanks go to Bowman Properties, Stagecrafters, Paul Roller and Valley Green Bank.
Go books! Go writers! Go readers!

Grateful for hospital
At 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, June 19, I appeared at the emergency room at Chestnut Hill Hospital. My face was distorted and, my tongue swollen. Within five minutes of arrival, the emergency room staff recognized my allergic reaction to something unknown and removing my bra and shirt, dressed me in a hospital gown and began intravenous medication that would calm my body and restore my breathing and voice.
Within three hours, I could feel myself returning to normal.
The hospital wanted to admit me, but having been through this trauma once before and spending a day in the hospital, I realized the emergency room had performed its magic. I insisted on leaving and they reluctantly allowed me to sign a release form relieving them of responsibility in case there was a problem. I recognize this is the result of the viral use of malpractice suits.
Good emergency care I knew to expect from Chestnut Hill Hospital. What struck me as unusual and a reflection on this community was that on a summer Saturday night, there was no police presence, no people waiting for help, no commotion or sign of violent injury. How many hospitals in this city or other cities can make that claim?

Remember when
There is one advantage to being 81. I can remember when I used to call somewhere and a human being answered the phone and responded to any request I might have.
Today, I make a call, get a recording saying if I am a physician, push 1. If this is an emergency, call 9-1-1; if I want this or that, push 2, 3 or 4. Then a recording tells me how important my call is and another record advises me that I have been added to those waiting, and it may take some time as the operators are busy with other callers. Then music plays and plays and plays and frequently a recording tells me again how important my call is and I will be taken in the order in which it was received.
If I am lucky, eventually someone comes on and hopefully can respond to what I want. If I am not lucky, I may be disconnected.

Darius Rucker Meets Charley Pride, Tweets Photo
Even an established artist like Darius Rucker, who has enjoyed massive success as both a pop artist with '90s hitmakers Hootie and the Blowfish and as a legit solo artist on the country music front in recent years, can be a fan boy for a hot minute. Rucker tweeted a photo of himself with country legend Charley Pride after meeting the singer at the Grand Ole Opry last night (July 20.)
Rucker posted a simple but excited tweet about rubbing elbows with Pride. He captioned the picture with this message: "I met the legendary Charlie Pride last night at the @opry Wow. What an honor!"
While we can only see the back of Rucker's head and a bit of a glare from the lights as he chats with Pride in this shot, we can pretty much predict that he has a smile on his face. There's an energy in the pic that screams "I'm psyched!"
The photo also goes to show that country music superstars aren't that much different from the fans when it comes to meeting acts they love and respect. Remember, your favorite country singer is most likely a fan of country music, too.

AMERICUS - For the first time in school history, Georgia Southwestern has a Peach Belt Conference championship. The GSW men's basketball team secured the West Division title on Wednesday evening with a convincing 71-52 win over Columbus State in the Storm Dome.
"To be the first program to win one (in school history) is just amazing," said GSW head coach Mike Leeder. "I'm just thrilled for our guys. I think we put together a tremendous collection of kids who worked awful hard all year and seeing their excitement after the game really made it all worthwhile for me."
The Hurricanes controlled the opening nine minutes of the game, jumping to a 23-3 lead. GSW hit 8 of 12 shots during that span and forced four Columbus State turnovers.
The 'Canes extended the lead to 23 on two separate occasions, before taking a 44-22 lead into the locker room at the half.
GSW shot 57.1 percent from the floor in the opening 20 minutes and an even better 58.3 percent (7 of 12) from beyond the arc, while holding Columbus State to 29.2 percent shooting.
A 7-2 run to start the second half gave GSW a 27-point lead, its largest of the game (51-24).
Columbus State put together a 13-1 run over the next six minutes to cut the lead to 15 and eventually trimmed the lead to 12 with eight minutes to play, but that's as close as the Cougars would get.
An elated GSW bench and coaching staff watched the Hurricanes bring home the title over the final minutes.
"It's great for the school, it's great for the community and I'm glad we finally showed that Georgia Southwestern can win in the Peach Belt Conference – because I think a lot of people doubted that we could (when we made the jump to Division II in 2006-07)," said Leeder.
GSW guard Colin Slotter led all scorers with 20 points on 8 of 13 shooting. Bobby Glover connected on 4 of 7 three-point shots and finished with 12 points. Matt Shaw added 10.
Issac Joyner was the only Cougar to score in double-digits, finishing with 13 points.
The Hurricanes cooled off in the second half, shooting 31.3 percent from the floor and 31.6 from beyond the arc.
GSW dished out nine more assists (20-11) than Columbus State and scored eight more points off turnovers (19-11).
Columbus State falls to 11-14 overall with the loss and 7-9 in the PBC. The Hurricanes are now 19-6, 12-4 in the PBC.
GSW looks for its 20th win on Saturday when Clayton State comes to Americus for a 7:30 p.m. contest on Senior Night.
"We were excited, but we want to keep it in perspective," said Leeder. "We don't want to just be satisfied and have it stop here. We're very close to solidifying an NCAA Tournament bid and that's our next goal."

2014 Major League Baseball Season (Australia)
It's almost baseball time! Guess where I'm at right now? I'm in Hawaii! I'm in Hawaii because I'm on my way to Australia to watch the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks open the '14 MLB season at the historic Sydney Cricket Grounds! Awesome, right?!
I am so jet lagged, though. I didn't get any sleep Saturday night and I slept a rough four hours on the six hour flight to Hawaii and now I've gotten something to eat and looking to rest up in an attempt to take on this 18 hour flight to the Outback! I went to Japan the year before last and met up with Zack Hample and had a freaking awesome time! This year we are meeting up again and hopefully we will be able to do some other stuff besides baseball while we are there.
Hawaii isn't what I expected it to be. The airport is a little confusing and the $40 dollar cab ride smashed a huge hole in my wallet. It was actually poor planning on my part; I could've got a closer hotel to the airport. Live and learn and it's all about the experience. You know how when you watch Tv and you see Hawaii on there and there's all these lush palm trees and blue waters? I suppose I'm in a crappy location (Waikiki) but there isn't much of that. The area is pretty run down and trashy.
Anyway. I'd take a bunch of pictures and upload them on here but Australia is going to be so much better. So I want to save all of my picture taking for that. Besides the Australian trip, I plan to make it to San Francisco a couple of times this year and I had the All-Star game all figured out but I don't know if I will make it because I want to see the 25th Anniversary 1989 World Series Oakland Athletic reunion at the Coliseum this year. So we will see.
I hope all of you are doing well out there! I'm having a blast now that baseball season is back!
Hey, if you got time, check out my Twitter and my other blog!

Welcome back to Financial Literacy Month. Most readers of this column, I know, are saving for retirement but aren't at retirement age yet.
So every once in a while, I like to do a "call your Mom" column. People on the verge of retirement or newly retired are called upon to make all sorts of major financial decisions that will have a huge impact on the rest of their lives.
One of the most important decisions is when to claim Social Security, and too many people make the wrong choice and end up saddled with unnecessary money worries and simply less to spend in retirement.
Social Security is very complicated—no surprise, given that it's a venerable government program.
When it's time for you—or your parents—to choose when and how to file for and claim benefits, consider enlisting the help of a fee-only financial planner experienced with Social Security. You can find one through the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors.
But here's a brief overview; the basic principle is surprisingly simple, and it's also easy to see why people do it wrong.
The waiting is the hardest part
The basic principle of claiming Social Security is this: A single person, or the higher earner in a married couple, should wait until age 70 to start receiving benefits.
That doesn't mean waiting until 70 to retire. It means spending down your retirement savings from the day you retire until age 70, and then supplementing your savings with Social Security.
Why? Because the longer you wait to take Social Security (up to age 70), the bigger the monthly payment (it goes up 8% per year after your official "full retirement age", plus inflation).
The payments last for the rest of your life—or, in the case of a married couple, for the rest of both of their lives. And the payments are indexed to inflation.
When you spend down your portfolio and wait to take Social Security, you're essentially converting part of your portfolio into a guaranteed annuity better than you can buy from any insurance company.
Your payment is unaffected by market performance, and you can't outlive it. "[T]he true value of delaying Social Security is a triple-benefit of hedging longevity, poor returns, and high inflation," wrote financial planner Michael Kitces on his Nerd's Eye View blog last year.
And if the idea of a Social Security check brings to mind an impoverished elderly person just scraping by, think again: a couple who both worked long careers at decent salaries could easily end up collecting over $60,000/year in Social Security payments if they claim at 70—and the money isn't even fully taxable.
Why not take the money and run?
Folks who've been through the Social Security process will note that I haven't said anything about spousal benefits.
For a couple with one working spouse or where one spouse earned much more over their career than another, the higher earning should "file and suspend" at full retirement age so their spouse can begin collecting a spousal benefit.
And there are other complicated filing strategies that a financial planner can help you untangle. I also recommend Jim Blankenship's detailed book Social Security: An Owner's Manual.
Yet too many retirees don't untangle anything: they file at 62, even though the system penalizes you for taking Social Security before your official retirement age.
The number one reason people do this, unfortunately, is because they have little or no retirement savings.
"Imagine the person age 62 and retired due to a layoff, who has no savings whatsoever," says Mike Piper, author of Social Security Made Simple. "That person obviously has to claim at 62."
But nearly half of all Social Security recipients claim their benefit at age 62, according to research by Boston College, and not all of them are impoverished. Another reason people give for claiming early is that they want to get in ASAP, before the program is gutted by Congress or runs out of money.
I understand the sentiment, but any cuts to Social Security are likely to fall most heavily on the wealthiest recipients or affect all beneficiaries proportionally.
Claiming early to avoid a hypothetical cut that would disproportionately affect people who file later is a gamble– on a political long shot– that will affect the rest of your life,.
Finally, one possible although unfortunate reason you may need to claim Social Security early is if you have good reason to believe that your remaining life will be short. In that case, sure, get it while it's hot.
Patience, grasshopper
I'm writing about this seemingly arcane and definitely boring topic because I've seen people in my family make this mistake and then worry about outliving their money, for no good reason.
In some cases, I've been able to help them fix the mistake, but the Social Security Administration changed its rules a couple of years ago to make it harder to undo claiming decisions: in general, after 12 months you're stuck with what you've got.
Given that this is Financial Literacy Month, however, I figured it was time to open the Social Security box and look at some of the rusty gears. Go ahead. Print this column and send it to Mom.
