Irish poet (1865-1939)
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.
WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS, "He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven"
O love is the crooked thing,
There is nobody wise enough
To find out all that is in it,
For he would be thinking of love
Till the stars had run away
And the shadows eaten the moon.
WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS, "Brown Penny"
It is love that I am seeking for,
But of a beautiful, unheard-of kind
That is not in the world.
WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS, The Shadowy Waters
Think where man's glory most begins and ends,
And say my glory was I had such friends.
WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS, "The Municipal Gallery Re-Visited"
Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That's all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and I sigh.
WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS, "A Drinking Song", The Green Helmet and Other Poems
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.
WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS, "The Second Coming"
Life seems to me a preparation for something that never happens.
WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS, Reveries over Childhood and Youth
An aged man is but a paltry thing,
A tattered coat upon a stick, unless
Soul clap its hands and sing
WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS, "Sailing to Byzantium"
Only the dead can be forgiven;
But when I think of that my tongue's a stone.
WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS, "A Dialogue of Self and Soul", The Winding Stair and Other Poems
Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the disheveled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame.
WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS, The Land of Heart's Desire
We must not make a false faith by hiding from our thoughts the causes of doubt, for faith is the highest achievement of the human intellect, the only gift man can make to God, and therefore it must be offered in sincerity.
WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS, "Anima Hominis", Per Amica Silentia Lunae
The poor have very few hours in which to enjoy themselves; they must take their pleasure raw; they haven't the time to cook it.
WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS, Where There Is Nothing
We must be tender with all budding things.
Our Maker let no thought of Calvary
Trouble the morning stars in their first song.
WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS, The Land of Heart's Desire
You think it horrible that lust and rage
Should dance attention upon my old age;
They were not such a plague when I was young;
What else have I to spur me into song?
WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS, "The Spur", Last Poems
I have often had the fancy that there is some one Myth for every man, which, if we but knew it, would make us understand all he did and thought.
WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS, Ideas of Good and Evil
The things a man has heard and seen are threads of life, and if he pull them carefully from the confused distaff of memory, any who will can weave them into whatever garments of belief please them best.
WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS, The Celtic Twilight
In the great cities we see so little of the world, we drift into our minority. In the little towns and villages there are no minorities; people are not numerous enough. You must see the world there, perforce. Every man is himself a class.
WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS, The Celtic Twilight
Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;
She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.
In a field by the river my love and I did stand,
And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;
But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.
WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS, "Down by the Salley Gardens", Crossways
This melancholy London -- I sometimes imagine that the souls of the lost are compelled to walk through its streets perpetually. One feels them passing like a whiff of air.
WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS, letter to Katharine Tynan, Aug. 25, 1888
I have observed dreams and visions very carefully, and am now certain that the imagination has some way of lighting on the truth that the reason has not, and that its commandments, delivered when the body is still and the reason silent, are the most binding we can ever know.
WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS, Ideas of Good and Evil

Doodle and arrangement by Tess Wood.
Let's be real, you have plenty of friends on a powder day. Even if you parted ways on the hill, you at least carpooled to get there or attempted a couple texts to rendezvous. You might decide ditch friends if they're too slow, or sneak off to your secret stash just a couple tree lines away, but we're all still comparing notes in the lift line and creating a symphony of hoots and hollers as we make it down the mountain one face shot at a time.
RELATED: What Your Favorite On-Mountain Bathroom Says About You
In recent years. I've come to very much appreciate the act of showing up to the ski area with no partners in mind. To be honest, this routine began out of necessity when, new to town and friendless, I was forced to spend a lot of time hitting the slopes on my own. It was a little awkward at first, standing alone on the tram dock, permanently installed in the singles line and working my way around a mountain I knew very little about. But it also afforded me the luxury of skiing any run I felt like, whenever I wanted. I could ski at any speed I chose or decided on a whim to skip the traverse and get in a few more turns.
Sage Cattabriga-Alosa is a fan of the solo shred sesh. TGR photo.
Solo on the tram dock, trying to look "lost in thought" (or anything other than awkward AF), also invited the approach of new friends. Once, I got to explore my new mountain for a whole weekend with some vacationing Australian brothers (HELLO) after one struck up conversation. As a relative "free agent" I was also a lot more apt to be invited to join a group heading out to the side country because it was just little ole me instead of a 6-some of varying abilities*.
And on the occasion when I don't accumulate ski partners I get some solid time to clear my head. Chairlifts are my yoga mat, the rest for my increasingly weary legs a shavasana, and I'm free to think (or not think) to my heart's desires. It's been a wonderful forced lesson in learning to be alone; something that, for better or for worse, I'm pretty darn good at.
So if you can't find anyone to ski with, don't let it stop you from getting your schuss on. Embrace the solo shred, and I'll see you in the singles line.
*Please note: These were never strangers. I would not go into the side country, backcountry, or any country with people whose ability and decision-making I did not trust. Stranger Danger is real, my friends.

Levin ++ Amblyopia is a monocular (or occasionally binocular) reduction of vision due to impaired visual development by the brain. It is sometimes referred to as lazy eye, although this lay term may also be applied to describe strabismus (ie, a wandering eye). In addition to the subnormal visual acuity, sophisticated testing will also reveal possible deficiency of motion sensitivity, contrast sensitivity, color sensitivity, visual field, and stereoacuity. The functional and anatomical changes in the visual brain result from disruption of normal visual experience during development. The severity and reversibility of amblyopia relate closely to the cause of the visual disturbance and the child's age. ++ Normal visual development requires that both eyes are in good focus, with normal ocular structures and cerebral visual pathways. In addition, both eyes need to be look at the same thing at the same time. The three main types of amblyopia are ++ 1. Deprivational—caused by physical obstructions to vision such as congenital cataract, corneal opacification, eyelid capillary hemangioma, or ptosis occluding the visual axis; 2. Strabismic—caused by misalignment of the visual direction of the two eyes; and3. Ametropic—caused by asymmetric monocular or, occasionally, binocular refractive error (glasses prescription). ++ In deprivational amblyopia, the physical abnormality of the eye or lid itself may cause the vision to be reduced. Amblyopia is visual loss in addition to the loss caused by the physical obstruction. For example, if an opacity in the lens (cataract) blurs the vision to 20/60, the brain will prefer the other normal eye and will "ignore" the eye with cataract. Amblyopia will then further impair the visual development in the eye with cataract, causing the vision to be even worse than the 20/60 the eye would have been capable of if it were not for the superimposed amblyopia. ++ The most common form of ametropic amblyopia is anisometropic amblyopia, caused by the two eyes having a different focus, such that one eye is out of focus when the other is in focus. The defocus can be caused by a difference in the refractive power of the two eyes. For example, if one eye does not need glasses and the other is very nearsighted, the myopic eye may develop amblyopia in addition to the blurring caused by myopia. If both eyes are farsighted—a very common finding in young children that does not require glasses, because they can focus using their own intrinsic eye muscles (accommodation)—but one eye is more farsighted than the other, the brain will prefer to view through the eye with less farsightedness. As a result, when the eye with less farsightedness is focused, the other eye is still not completely focused. The brain will prefer the better-focusing eye, and the remaining eye will become amblyopic. ++ Typically, deprivational amblyopia is more severe than strabismic amblyopia, which is usually more severe than amblyopia due to refractive error. Mixed strabismic and anisometropic amblyopia is usually more severe than strabismic amblyopia ...

For some reason lost on me, the Raimi Spider-man movies are considered good. Which is hard, you know, because I love Spider-man, and yet I hated his movies. So finally The Amazing Spiderman came out, and it was good, not great, but at least it was decent. Imagine my suprise then when everyone who loved the original trilogy more or less told me the still liked it better. It seems I am doomed to be on a different wavelength with this character.
But, without further babbling, the (not) 1000 reasons the new film is better.
- Mechanical web shooters
- Better CGI
- Gwen Stacy is a more well rounded and overall interesting love interest than MJ.
- Actual action scenes
- Speaking of which, in those scenes, Spidey actually feels powerful. Tobey McGuire never once pulled off superhero.
- Less emo weirdness
- The movie actually focuses on Spider-man, where the trilogy focused completely on his obsession with MJ.
- Better, more realistic looking suit.
- Spider-man is actually funny. He can laugh. The previous Spidey was just sad and a complete loser.
- Despite this added humor, the film is way less camp and a lot more intense.
- Increased role for Flash
- Curt Connors is a more sympathetic and well rounded villain than any of those used in the trilogy except Doc Octopus, and Octavius was way to campy to be taken legitimately.
- Peter Parker is actually smart, like, you know, HOW HE IS IN EVERY COMIC EVER. Tobey McGuire seemed so stupid, incapable of doing anything. He was pathetic. Garfield is not the perfect Spidey by a longshot, but at least he nailed the wiz kid side of it.
- Actual Police involvement makes superhero movies all the more believable.
- Garfield and Stone had chemistry. Dunst and McGuire did not. If anything Franco and Dunst came the closest to being believable together.
- Did I mention the freaking mechanical webshooters vs that horrible natural webshooting? And the way Raimi turned spider powers into a euphemism for male impotency? What the hell...
I realize the new movie has issues (feel free to list them in the comments, I'm sure someone will). But for a movie that slipped quietly between the Avengers and TDKR, this is really one of the better superhero flicks out there. For my money, it sure beats the original Spider-man trilogy.

More than 1,000 people, including priests flown in from a sacred Indian site on the Ganges, will gather today to mark the start of work on one of Britain's biggest Hindu temples.
More than 1,000 people, including priests flown in from a sacred Indian site on the Ganges, will gather today to mark the start of work on one of Britain's biggest Hindu temples.
Construction of the £3m temple, at the site of northern England's oldest Hindu shrine in Bradford, will be preceded by prayers from the priests of the Ganges shrine of Haridwar ("through the Lord's door").
But the extraordinary financial support of the Hindu community will add a distinctly more secular dimension to help the building on its way. Hindu leaders have been astonished by the response to their requests for funds for the building, which have reaped them £1.5m in only four weeks and demonstrated the considerable wealth of some in the Hindu community.
They are attributing the generosity in part to a reawakening of interest in the faith among first, second and third-generation Bradfordians.
"People born into the faith are wanting to immerse themselves in it again. It seems to be a sense of going back to their roots, and there are not the temples to sustain that elsewhere in the West Yorkshire region," said Dayal Sharma, president of the Hindu Cultural Society of Bradford.
"We expected people to donate as much as £250 each and no more than £1,000, but people across the country have got involved," he said.
With two £100,000 donations, from businessmen in Nottingham and Bradford, work will begin without a penny of grant aid. Bids are being made for European regeneration funds because the temple will stand in a rundown district.
The temple, complete with exhibition centre, conference and sporting facilities, will retain the original shrine's worship hall, built in 1966, but see the rest of the building give way to a number of new edifices. Statues of deities will be brought from the Indian subcontinent and traditional craftsmen will be attempting to create a structure based on principles of Hindu architecture. More than 300,000 devotees a year are expected to visit the temple, due to be completed in 2004.

Sylvie Forbin, Vice-President, Public and European Affairs June 2010 Internet Piracy : Key Issues and Solutions
Vivendi, a major player in contents and networks Every year, with all of those businesses combined, Vivendi invests over €5 billion (distributed equally) in content creation and acquisition and network technologies. 2 N° 1 Video Games Worldwide N° 1 Music Worldwide N° 2 Telecoms in France N° 1 Telecoms in Morocco N° 1 Alternative Telecoms in Brazil N° 1 Pay-TV in France
Digital contents distribution has strongly developped over the past years Focus on Several Initiatives 3
The market of legal offers has increased significantly A strong diversification of the market, which echoes new uses Broader available catalogues See diagram for Apple / iTunes Active partnership policy with the new intermediaries Streaming offers ad-financed : MySpace, Deezer, Dailymotion, Jiwafm.com, … Unlimited offers based on subscription: Neufbox music, Orange Music Max, SFR Illimythics… Price decrease on the back-catalog Decrease in the price of download, to 0.69€ in Europe for over 5 000 UMG tracks available on iTunes Transition to mp3 format Because DRMs were pointed out for their lack of interoperability, and following the "Mission Olivennes" recommendations, the French music catalog is now available online without any DRMs. 4 X 3
Music : Important efforts have been made to meet consumers' expectations Launch of streaming platforms, which allows direct monetization of contents through partnerships with advertisers VEVO, a YouTube/UMG common platform, launched in the United States in december, and soon in Europe. Alloclips, a similar initiative launched in 2008 by Universal Music, France. 5
Music : Important efforts have been made to meet consumers' expectations Launch of Spotify, an unlimited music offer in streaming available in 3 versions : 1- free offer, ad-financed 2- a short term paying offer, with no advertisement 3- a « premium » offer meaning a monthly susbscription with an iPhone application and no advertisement Bundled ADSL/mobile and music subscription offers Neufbox Music : a common offer SFR/Universal Music (see below), available in 2 versions for Neuf customers: An « initial » version: download 1 musical type for free among 9 different types An « optimal » version: for 4,99€ monthly, unlimited access to the whole catalog 6
Audiovisual : Non-linear services have been launched to meet consumers' demand Canal+ on demand: Cach-up TV offer was launched in 2008 For all Canal + customers, through their PC or TV (ADSL box or cable) Over 200 programs available The content offer is daily updated 7 Available in France only
Online piracy is still hampering the development of the legal market What Solutions? 8
What is the « French Approach » about ? A step-by-step approach A two-years process: Olivennes Mission, Legislative Debate, Constitutionnal Council Case Law … Leading to the creation of a new independent administrative authority : the HADOPI
Four missions to promote legal offers and deter illegal practices 10 Sending warning messages Trustmarking the means of monitoring access to internet Granting trustmarks to lawful online communication services Evaluation of filtering technologies
Legal basis of actions to deter online piracy, as set by the new law The law « Création et Internet », passed in 2009 in France, provides two types of actions for copyright holders Through the HADOPI When illegal online practices are identified, copyrights holders are entitled to make a referral to the HADOPI, which sends emails to infringers via the ISPs, and in case of reiteration, can refer the case to the judge. Legal basis for HADOPI action : the subscriber's duty of care - Reasons for sending notices is the subscriber's lack in his duty of care (article L.336-3, Intellectual Property Code) - To help consumers comply with this obligation, ISPs shall make available software solutions approved by HADOPI to prevent the use of their internet access subscription for Copyright infringement purposes
Through the Judge Already set in a previous law and validated by the Cour of Cassation, the « HADOPI » law gives more flexibility to the judge and thus ensures more effectiveness to: o Blocking access to illegal content o Ceasing hosting of pirate sites o Delisting infringing contents The legal basis is Article L.336-2, Intellectual Property Code : The judge, ruling if needed in summary proceedings, may order at the request of all affected stakeholders the taking of any measure necessary to prevent or put an end to any infringement of copyright or a related right, including the possibility of blocking the functioning of telecommunications infrastructures B-to-B approach to online piracy is a key measure in this new framework 12
Some Examples of European Initiatives 13
United-Kingdom The Digital Economy Act 2010, establishing a graduated response process leading to possible sanctions including temporary suspension of repeat infringers' accounts, was passed in early April. Under the new law, ISPs will be obliged to notify subscribers whose accounts have been reported to be infringing, and to keep records of reported subscribers on an anonymous basis. The Secretary of State will have the power to oblige ISPs to implement technical measures to limit internet access for repeat infringers, including suspension of accounts, following 12 months of the initial obligations. The law also empowers the Secretary of State for Business to enact regulations to allow courts to block any site which the court is satisfied is likely to be used in connection with an activity that infringes copyright. 14
Spain In March 2010, the Council of Ministers approved the government's Sustainable Economy Law, which will now go to Parliament for debate. The bill includes provisions requiring the blocking or suspension of infringing websites under a new, expedited procedure. A specialized tribunal is to decide within four days whether infringing content should be removed or access blocked to a site, based on a recommendation from a newly established Intellectual Property Commission. The law could be in operation as early as June. 15
Ireland In January 2009, court proceedings between the record companies and a major Irish ISP, Eircom, were settled. The parties agreed on a graduated response process for P2P infringement culminating in account disconnection, if the subscriber does not comply with repeated warnings. The record companies have agreed that they will take steps to put similar agreements in place with all other ISPs in Ireland. The High Court in April confirmed the legality of the Eircom agreement, holding that its implementation is consistent with data protection law. The parties will now proceed to implement the agreement, and all technical systems are already in place to operate the graduated response process. Meanwhile, a court granted an order requiring Eircom to block access to the Pirate Bay as from 1 September 2009. 16
Belgium In February, the Court of Appeal referred two questions to the European Court of Justice in the SABAM v/s ISP Scarlet case, about the order that required Scarlet to "make it impossible" for its users to infringe copyright using P2P services and stated that a filtering solution to distinguish legitimate from illegitimate files appeared to be the most effective and proportionate means. A « Graduated Response » bill is currently examined by the Parliament 17
Norway Following Parliamentary elections in September 2009, the new government has set up a working group to deal with piracy and to decide on possible measures to limit illegal filesharing and encourage the use of legal services. The working group, which includes both rightholders and ISPs, has already met twice, focusing on the issues of identification of file-sharers and injunctions against intermediaries. The issues of graduated response and data retention will also be discussed by the working group, which aims to finish its work by June. 18
Finland In August 2009, a working group of four ministries issued a report stating that the new law implementing the EU Enforcement Directive needed to be reviewed regarding its effectiveness as to means of legal protection and intervention in illicit file-sharing. After public consultations through the end of October 2009, the Ministry of Culture is considering possible follow-up actions that may include elements of graduated response. Regarding litigation, in early 2008 two courts issued injunctions against ISPs, requiring suspension of internet access to individual high-volume P2P uploaders. 19
Denmark In June 2009 the Ministry of Culture released a report describing possible approaches to online copyright infringement, including a graduated response system. In December 2009 the Ministry established a committee including representatives of rightholders, ISPs and consumer organisations, to be tasked with the examination of measures to enhance online enforcement. A first meeting took place in January and the committee is supposed to conclude its work by September. Graduated response and ISP cooperation are among the measures under discussion. 20

Baby bean bag toys
(9 Posts)Thanks Kittie! Well, you wouldn't be 1st, one of my friend's friend has asked me today to make a set for her niece! I haven't really openly talked about selling but she saw them at my friend's house and loved them. The hardest part was to answer the question 'how much?' as I never sold any of my stuff and haven't actually properly calculated my costs yet. So I did say £5 each, waiting for her to say something like 'oh, I can' pay that!' or 'that's way too expensive!'. No, she didn't! She seemed to think that was reasonable price! I'm so happy.
I am making a matching drawstring bag to put the beanbags in, so gift set like that with 5 bags for £25 - I guess it's not too bad.
I haven't thought about posting at all as was thinking of doing everything locally. I do need to post a set to my cousin's little one but they live abroad so that will be expensive anyway!!
I agree with HaveToWearHeels. They're lovely. I'd pay £5. Shame postage would be quite pricey (I imagine) otherwise you'd have your first customer here!
Oops, meant to say they are 5" x 5"!
Thanks HaveTo! They are 3" x 3".
I think they are lovely PrettyPirate. How big are they ? Would probably pay say£5 for one. Very cute.
Well re taggies - I've made taggie type things and sold them before with no repercussions!
Thanks Doodle!
You are right - it could be tricky as they are toys.. I'm using poly pellets as fillings, so it's fine when the bags are chewed and they can be washed and all that. Need to read about standards.
There are some local sellers who make little baby blankets with ribbons on, so I'm not sure if they have read about taggies and the copyrights. Need to investigate!
Thanks again!
I'm no expert and wouldn't you need to make sure they met British standards as are toys.
Also don't know how whether taggies own any intellectual property in the ribbons on toys idea and how proactive they are in enforcing that?
Just a couple of thoughts. But the stuff you're making us seriously cute!
Amongst other sewing projects I've been making little bean bag toys for friends' children, mostly for 1st birthday and few for Christmas presents. Parents have always been happy to receive them and babies happily playing with them (well, also older kids playing chasing and chucking games with those toys!)
Now I'm thinking of starting selling them. Only to advertise via word of mouth/school fair that kind of thing. Just not sure there would be interest enough...Would you buy anything like that? They can be made personal eg with child's name on, or counting ones 1-5 or 0-9. With tags for younger kids and maybe without tags for older ones? What would you be willing to pay for one bean bag?
My friens say they are lovely and great idea and all that but I need some more opinions from people who don't know me
Oh, there's photos on my profile

I am a licensed clinical social worker and therapist who works with people diagnosed with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, using a respectful and skill building approach called cognitive therapy for psychosis (also called CBT for psychosis).
You can find out a little more about cognitive therapy for psychosis, and about my practice in Eugene Oregon, at this page.
I also talk and teach seminars on cognitive therapy for psychosis, including a special focus on trauma and psychosis, and on spiritual and ethical issues related to mental health treatment, See the upcoming seminars page for what's scheduled at this time. And I am definitely interested in more teaching opportunities if you know of any: check out this list of seminars I can present, and if you need a list of my teaching experience you can find it here.
My own story, which includes the details of how I got interested in this field (including some "psychotic" experiences of my own) is told on this page, with a few more details in this interview.
Contact information for me:
541-513-1811 PO Box 10283, Eugene OR 97440 4ronunger at gmail.com You can look here for more information about my therapy practice in Eugene Oregon. I do not practice therapy or provide consultations to people or families who live at a distance over the phone or Skype. I wish I could do this, but I find I don't have enough time. On the other hand, I do offer "distance" consultations to mental health workers who could use assistance in learning a more psychological approach for psychosis. I can provide this service at the same low rate for either individual or groups of mental health workers, over the phone or using the internet with Adobe Connect. Download this document for more information about that. My personal mission is to help provide training and consultation to lots of mental health workers, so that with my efforts alongside those of like-minded others, eventually everyone diagnosed with "schizophrenia" or "psychosis" will find that psychological understanding and a constructive approach that provides realistic hope is easily available within the mental health system. PS If you are seeking a "distance" consultation about yourself or a family member from someone who knows a lot about psychological approaches for what we call psychosis, you might want to consider the following two possibilities: One of them is Paris Williams. His contact information is at http://taurangapsychologist.co.nz/ . You can also read about a book he wrote, Rethinking Madness, at http://rethinkingmadness.com/Another person is Will Hall.

Obama: $3 million retirement plan limit
April 10, 2013 Updated: April 10, 2013 8:34pmIn his budget proposal released Wednesday, President Obama would limit the amount of money a person could accumulate in all tax-advantaged retirement plans combined - including regular and Roth individual retirement accounts, 401(k) and defined benefit plans - to about $3 million.
The limit would not apply to Obama's own pension, which is worth at least $5 million, because it is not in a tax-advantaged account, according to Brian Graff, executive director of the American Society of Pension Professionals & Actuaries. Obama's pension, which guarantees him a Cabinet-level salary for life indexed to inflation, is a "non-qualified deferred compensation plan, similar to what corporate executives get," he says.
The proposal would not cap those plans or prevent corporate executives from walking away with retirement packages worth tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. But some owners of small and midsize businesses might be discouraged from making further contributions to employee retirement plans when their own balances hit $3 million, says Graff.
Employers who offer qualified retirement plans, such as 401(k) plans, must meet nondiscrimination rules that prevent owners and top executives from getting pension benefits if their workers are not getting proportional benefits.
Obama is telling these employers, "Sorry, you have been playing by the rules. Too bad you have been investing successfully. You are out of luck," Graff says. "The reality is, a lot of employers will say, 'I'm not going to (contribute anymore).' "
The budget doesn't say what would happen to plan balances that already exceed $3 million.
The proposed rule would be difficult to enforce because individuals would have to figure out when all their pension plans combined exceed the limit, which would vary over time.
The budget says it would "limit an individual's total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per year in retirement, or about $3 million for someone retiring in 2013."
The limit is actually a moving target because the annuity amount ($205,000 today) would be indexed to inflation and the lump sump needed to finance that amount ($3 million today) would also change as interest rates change.
Few with big balances
The Employee Benefits Research Institute estimated that only 0.1 percent of people 60 or older who had at least one IRA or 401(k) had balances totaling $3 million or above at the end of 2011.
However, the institute estimates that almost 1 percent of all workers with a 401(k) balance in 2011 - and 1.2 percent of workers age 26 to 35 - would hit $3 million by age 65.
The institute did not include defined benefit accounts in its analysis. Their inclusion in the budget would change its results.
The proposal could benefit from outrage over Mitt Romney's IRA, which at one point was worth more than $100 million. Romney never explained how it got so large. Most people can't contribute more than $5,500 a year ($6,500 if 50 or older) into an IRA.
Romney, a former investment fund manager, could have contributed low-priced assets not available to the general public that later exploded in value.
A high-income self-employed person can put up to $51,000 a year to a Simplified Employee Pension, or SEP-IRA.
If the president wants to attack retirement-plan abuses without discouraging employer plans, he should only limit balances in IRAs (excluding IRAs funded by a rollover from a workplace plan), Graff says.
Savings incentive
The budget proposal would encourage savings by requiring employers with more than 10 workers who do not offer a retirement plan to enroll their employees in a direct-deposit IRA. Employees could opt out.
To defray setup costs, the proposal would give employers a tax credit of $25 per participating employee, up to $250 per year for six years. It also would double the credit employers can get for starting or running a new retirement plan - to $1,000 from $500 per year, for four years.
It also would exempt people with $75,000 or less in their traditional IRAs and 401(k) plans from taking required minimum distributions starting at age 70.5.
The California treasurer's office announced this week that Scholarshare, the state-sponsored 529 college savings plan, has just topped $5 billion in assets, up from $2.24 billion in January 2007. That sounds impressive, but 10 states, including New Hampshire, Nevada, Rhode Island, Maine and Utah, have even more assets in their plan or plans, according to Morningstar data.
How can smaller states have bigger plans?
Unlike many states, California offers no tax incentive to people who invest in its 529 plan, so "out-of-state plans market aggressively to California residents," says Morningstar's Laura Lutton.
Broker-sold plans
Some states, including Virginia, have plans that are managed by large financial companies that market and distribute them nationally through brokers and advisers.
"AllianceBernstein has a big broker-sold plan that launched from Rhode Island. Maine is large because Merrill Lynch runs it and sells it," says Joseph Hurley, founder of Savingforcollege.com.
"Fidelity, by contract, must feature New Hampshire's 529 plan as its nationally distributed direct-sold 529 plan," he adds. Nevada and Utah both have plans run by Vanguard, which is popular because of its low fees.
TIAA-CREF replaced Fidelity as California's plan administrator in 2011.
Mortgage relief
Checks will start going out Friday to about 4.2 million borrowers who were at any stage of the foreclosure process in 2009 or 2010 and had a mortgage serviced by one of 13 banks.
The banks agreed to pay a total of $3.6 billion to these borrowers to settle an investigation by federal regulators into alleged servicing abuses.
Borrowers did not have to prove they were harmed or even ask to have their cases reviewed, although those who did respond to a request for review will receive more than those who did not.
Eleven of the servicers will send payments between Friday and mid-July. They are Aurora, Bank of America, Citibank, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, MetLife Bank, PNC, Sovereign, SunTrust, U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo. Information on payments from Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley will be announced later.
Payments will range from $300 to $125,000, but almost 80 percent of the checks coming from the 11 servicers will be $1,000 or less. Only 1,152 borrowers, mostly service members who lost their homes, will get the maximum payment.
Most borrowers will receive an envelope from Rust Consulting with a letter and check.

Windsor chairs were first manufactured in England in the early 18th century and are named after the English village where they were first made. Around 1740 they were produced in America, first in Philadelphia. As their popularity grew, they could be found in all areas of the country. Windsor chairs come in many shapes, colours and sizes. They are used as dining chairs, side chairs, writing chairs and high chairs. These versatile chairs have not gone out of style and have been in production for over 300 years.

- 1
Research Windsor chairs. Before you can accurately determine the age of a Windsor chair, it is imperative that you do your homework. Consult reference books on the topic like, "Windsor Chairs" by Wallace Nutting, and go to websites like Kovels that are devoted to antiques. Visit museums that feature exhibits on early American life. Talk to dealers and collectors.
- 2
Examine the chair's construction. An early English Windsor chair will have turned sticks driven through the plant seat to form legs. Above the seat the sticks will connect with a hoop to form the back and arm supports. These chairs had no stretchers, which are horizontal dowels that connect the legs, and no nails were used to hold the chair together
- 3
Look at the chair's legs. An American Windsor will have angled legs, whereas the English chair legs were straight.
- 4
Check the chair's plank seat to see how thick it is. Generally, older chairs will have thicker seats.
- 5
Count the chair's spindles. Generally, the older chairs will have the most spindles.
- 6
Study the chair's composition. Windsor chairs were crafted from a variety of woods like pine and birch, with more than one type used in a single chair. A chair with mahogany parts can be dated to the late 19th century because mahogany was difficult to obtain before then.
- 7
Determine how the chair is finished. Windsor chairs were painted to hide the variety of woods used to make them and are found most commonly in green, but other colours include shades of red, blue and yellow. A clear finish is rare and may mean the chair has been stripped and refinished.
- 8
Consult an expert. Ultimately, an expert on Windsor chairs is the only person who can definitively date your Windsor chair and tell if it is original or a well crafted reproduction.
