| + | == Charitable Donation Tips for Boomers == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>When it comes to charitable donations, boomers aren’t hesitating to open their wallets. | ||
| + | |||
| + | According to a recent study from Blackbaud that analyzed the donation habits among the generations, baby boomers made up 34% of the donor base in the U.S. What’s more, the company, which provides software to nonprofits, revealed that the bulk of charitable money will come from baby boomers for at least the next decade. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Charitable giving can make you feel good, but financial experts stress that having a plan can help make the most of your contributions. According to Blackbaud, homeless shelters, places of worship and health service organizations are the biggest beneficiaries of charitable givers across all ages. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Dave Richmond, president of retirement consulting firm Richmond Brothers in Jackson, Mich., discussed the following charitable contribution tips for boomers: | ||
| + | |||
| + | Boomer: What is the best way baby boomers can create a charitable plan and establish a charitable solution? | ||
| + | |||
| + | Richmond: Boomers should assemble a team that will enable them to meet their objectives. You will need a certified public accountant,[http://www.jerseys-online.org/cheap-nike-ravens-81-boldin-white-elite-jerseys-p-25728.html Boldin white Elite Jerseys], because taxes are always a key consideration, and you may or may not need an attorney for legal advice. A financial advisor can quarterback the whole process for you. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can lay out your goals once you have your team members in place. The most important part of planning is determining the length of your giving: Do you want your charitable plan to be based on a one-time event, a multi-year operation, or in perpetuity? | ||
| + | |||
| + | Boomer: What is meant by ‘giving options’ in terms of making a charitable donation? | ||
| + | |||
| + | Richmond: Your giving options refer to how you decide to enact your charitable plan. Writing a check one time requires different planning from an ongoing campaign. If you want your charitable legacy to extend past your death, you will need to plan for a trust or foundation. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Another key consideration is whether you need retirement income from the asset you plan to donate. For instance, I have a client who owned a house that appreciated in price substantially over the course of many years. They no longer needed the real estate asset, but they needed to plan for ongoing retirement income. The best option, which they chose, was to give the house to their favored charity � a university � on the condition that the university provide them an annuity that paid our client tax-favored income for the remainder of their lives. When they die, the university keeps their house. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Boomer: Can you explain private foundations and their tax benefits along with what costs are associated with setting one up? | ||
| + | |||
| + | Richmond: Private foundations provide donors with the most options, but they are also the most expensive structure to establish and maintain. A foundation can accept a wider variety of assets beyond stocks and bonds. You can give homes or assign part of a business asset to a foundation. Bill Gates, for example, transfers part of his Microsoft ownership stake to his foundation every year. The catch is that you have to pay professionals to take care of the foundation’s tax reporting, legal work and investment management. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Boomer: Are there alternatives to private foundations? | ||
| + | |||
| + | Richmond: A lot of cities have community foundations. Some of these,[http://www.pokermonster.org/home.php?mod=space&uid=382122 ], depending on how they’re structured, will give you choices on where you can spend your donation. Others don’t offer many options, and they provide significantly less control,[http://www.jerseys-online.org/cheap-nike-ravens-55-suggs-purple-elite-jerseys-p-25720.html Suggs Elite Jerseys], but they’re also significantly easier. You have don’t have to oversee their tax filings, so the IRS will never come knocking on your door. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Boomer: What is a Donor Advised Fund? | ||
| + | |||
| + | Richmond: Many of the major brokerage firms have set up large charities so their charitably-inclined investors can achieve economies of scale with their donations. This is a less expensive way for someone with a few hundred thousand dollars in savings to create a legacy that carries on past their lifetime. These can be set up as irrevocable donations. In this case, you retain the flexibility to switch charities, but you can never take your money back.</html> | ||

| + | == The Pirates and Mets make a good August deal == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>If the phrase "patience is a virtue" holds true, then Sandy Alderson and his front office certainly are some virtuous individuals. On Tuesday, the traded OF and C for MiLB 2B Dilson Herrera and a player to be named later (PTBNL). The move is a reflection of how much the want to win now and is also a reflection on how the Mets are becoming one of the best-run organizations in the league. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Much was made at the non-waiver deadline about the Mets not trading Marlon Byrd. This really did not make sense for two reasons. Firstly, we can't be aware of what offers the Mets were getting--it is entirely possible that the Mets felt Byrd's presence in the clubhouse was worth more than giving him away. Secondly--as can be seen in the trade pulled off today--there was still a month of waiver-period time for a deal to get done. By waiting until August 27th, the Mets were able to pull off quite a deal. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This deal--like most deals--breaks down to a story of two sides. For simplicity's sake, that's how this post is being broken down. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Mets | ||
| + | The theme for the Mets leading into this season was something close to,[http://www.jerseys-online.org/baltimore-ravens-online-598_631 Baltimore Ravens Jerseys China], "Wow, look at how horrendous that outfield is! There's no way they can compete with that!" At times, the unit was even being considered as possibly the worst outfield put on a field in recent years. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Sorry to burst the bubbles of the haters, but the Mets' outfield has actually been pretty good relative to those terrible expectations. The unit ranks 19th in fWAR, 18th in wRC+,[http://bbs.093.com/ Henrik Stenson Fires 66 At Deutsche Bank], 12th in fielding--thank you, Juan Lagares--and 14th in BsR. How did this happen, you ask? Enter stud free agent Marlon Byrd. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Yes. Stud free agent Marlon Byrd. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Heading into the 2012 off season,[http://www.jerseys-online.org/carolina-panthers-online-598_635 Carolina Panthers Jerseys China], most of the discussion surrounding the Mets dealt with what the team was going to do to build for the future. After was traded and was extended, many just stopped caring about the Mets. Now, the Marlon Byrd signing doesn't compare to the magnitude of the aforementioned moves, but it certainly will have a positive impact on the Mets' future. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For the price of $700,000, the Mets brought on Marlon Byrd at a time where seemingly nobody wanted him. As a result, they are reaping the benefits. At the same time, they are showing why rebuilding teams should still spend on the free agent market. The 2013 version of Marlon Byrd is essentially repeating the BIP rates of 2009 Marlon Byrd--he's getting the ball in the air and his power numbers are mirroring what he put up in 2009. He's put up 3.5 fWAR and is playing much like he did prior to fracturing the orbital bone in his left eye in 2011. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Mets then held out as long as possible with Byrd--made possible by him being on a contract so small--and acquired 2B Dilson Herrera as well as a PTBNL. | ||

| + | == White House confident on winning Hill support on Syria but s == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>The Obama administration, bolstered by evidence the Syrian government used lethal sarin gas on its own people, expressed confidence Sunday that Congress would back President Obama’s decision for a military strike on the Middle East country. | ||
| + | However,[http://www.jerseys-online.org/nfl-jerseys-online-598 wholesale nfl jerseys china], the president and his inner circle worked furiously over the weekend to win congressional support, appearing on Sunday shows, holding classified briefings and making calls to Capitol Hill leaders. | ||
| + | |||
| + | A senior administration officials told Fox News that the president, Vice President Joe Biden and Chief of Staff Denis McDonough made phone calls on Sunday to senators and House members urging them to vote in favor of the authorization of military force in Syria. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The official called the lobbying effort a "flood the zone" strategy, in an apparent acknowledgement of just how hard winning Capitol Hill approval will be. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The effort was preceded by Secretary of State John Kerry blanketing the Sunday shows and administration official proceeding with a round of weekend briefings, as Capitol Hill lawmakers said Obama may not have the votes right now. | ||
| + | |||
| + | “I would say if the vote were today, it would probably be a no vote,” New York Rep. Peter King, a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence,[http://bbs.365bagua.com/viewthread.php?tid=40637&extra= NHL Outdoor Games- Rangers, Islanders and Devils Visit Yankee Stadium, Home of 2], told “Fox News Sunday.” | ||
| + | |||
| + | The comment underscored the risk Obama took in deciding over the weekend to seek approval from Congress, a step King argues he didn't need to take.<br> | ||
| + | Kerry told “Fox News Sunday” that he couldn’t imagine Congress would “turn its back” on Israel or other U.S. allies in the region and on the Syrians slaughtered in the Aug. 21 chemical weapon attack, allegedly ordered by President Bashar al-Assad. | ||
| + | |||
| + | “I can't contemplate that Congress would turn its back on all of that responsibility,[http://www.jerseys-online.org/nfl-jerseys-online-598 nike nfl jerseys from China],” Kerry said. “I don’t believe Congress will do that.” | ||
| + | |||
| + | Kerry’s comments and the White House blitz were the latest in a series of dramatic turn of events since the chemical weapon attack two weeks ago outside Damascus that killed more than 1,400 people including hundreds of women and children. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The White House official confirms on Sunday the president called Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain over the weekend to invite him to the White House on Monday, the same day Obama will hold another conference call with House members. | ||
| + | |||
| + | "In all calls and briefings, we will be making the same fundamental case: the failure to take action against Assad unravels the deterrent impact of the international norm against chemical weapons use, and it risks emboldening Assad and his key allies – Hezbollah and Iran – who will see that there are no consequences for such a flagrant violation of an international norm,” the official told Fox News. | ||
| + | |||
| + | On Saturday, with Navy ships in the Mediterranean Sea ready to launch missiles, Obama made the surprising announcement Saturday, saying he had decided on a limited military response but would seek Congress’ approval. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The announcement followed Kerry’s impassioned speech Friday for punishing Assad, whom he called a “thug” and a “criminal.” | ||
| + | |||
| + | However, the largely Republican opposition to the strike had already taken shape and continued Sunday. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that the U.S. getting involved in the roughly 2-year-long Syrian civil war is a mistake and that the president has about a “50-50” chance of getting House approval. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Democrats also expressed reservations. | ||
| + | |||
| + | "I certainly enter this debate as a skeptic, but I'm going to allow the administration to make its case this week," Connecticut Democratic Sen. Christopher Murphy, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told NBC. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The administration’s classified briefings Saturday and Sunday included Republicans and Democrats in the GOP-controlled House and the Democratic-controlled Senate, where Obama will likely have the strongest support for the biggest foreign policy vote since Congress authorized President George W. Bush to invade Iraq. | ||
| + | |||
| + | More classified meetings are scheduled in the coming days on Capitol Hill, as party leaders consider whether to call members back from their August recess that ends Sept. 9. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Senate Foreign Relations Committee plans to meet Tuesday. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Kerry, who appeared on all five major Sunday talk shows, said support from Capitol Hill and the public will give American the legitimacy a “full-throated” response. | ||
| + | |||
| + | “Our country is much stronger when we act together,” said Kerry, knocking back speculation that Obama’s weekend announcement went against the advice of his national security team. | ||
| + | |||
| + | “No decision is made until the president of the United States makes the decision,” he said. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Kerry also said Obama has the authority to launch retaliatory strikes with or without Congress' approval, but stopped short of saying the president would do so if the House or Senate withholds support. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In an apparent attempt to win congressional support, he said the United States has received hair and blood samples from first responders indicating sarin was used in the attack in the Damascus suburbs. | ||
| + | |||
| + | It was the first piece of specific physiological evidence cited by the administration, which previously cited only an unnamed nerve agent in the killings. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Washington has struggled to rally allies to its cause, with only France firmly on board among major military powers. Britain cannot be counted on after Parliament rejected using force in a vote last week. | ||
| + | |||
| + | A little more than a year ago, Obama declared that Assad's use of chemical weapons would be the "red line" in a conflict that he has steadfastly avoided. But Obama deferred any immediate action Saturday by announcing that he first would seek congressional authorization. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Late Saturday, the White House sent Congress a draft resolution authorizing force against Syria to "deter, disrupt, prevent and degrade" the Assad regime's ability to use chemical weapons. It doesn't lay out a timeline for action or detail Obama's strategy. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Lawmakers told Fox News after a briefing Sunday that Congress will likely revise the resolution before voting on it. Among their concerns was that the words "targeted" and "limited" were not included, though the president has repeatedly said that would be the scope of such an attack. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Kerry reiterated Obama's oft-repeated promise not to send any American troops into Syrian territory, a reflection of the president's own aversion to getting too deeply involved in a conflict that has killed more than 100,000 people and drawn in terrorist organizations on both sides of the battlefield. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Polls also show significant opposition among Americans to involvement after a decade of war in the Muslim world, and several officials have cited the faulty intelligence about weapons of mass destruction that led up to the Iraq war as justification of the need for lengthy debate before U.S. military action. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Administration officials said that until late Friday Obama appeared set on ordering a strike without first seeking Congress' approval. After a walk around the White House grounds with Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, the president told his aide he had changed his mind. | ||

| + | == Darrell Green’s not sure RG3 would have lasted in his == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>Posted by Darin Gantt on September 5, 2013, 10:12 AM EDT | ||
| + | APThe man who has played in the most games for the Redskins isn’t sure the current quarterback has a chance to join him on that list. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Hall of Fame cornerback Darrell Green said he’s worried about the longevity of quarterback , saying he’s not sure the current quarterback would have lasted in his era. | ||
| + | |||
| + | “If I was playing in the era where we were really good under Richie Petitbon, ,” Green told FOX Sports’ Alex Marvez and? and Gil Brandt on SiriusXM NFL Radio. | ||
| + | |||
| + | “When we played Randall Cunningham [with Philadelphia] I guarantee you we probably beat him 90 percent of the time,[http://www.jerseys-online.org/cheap-nike-ravens-55-suggs-purple-elite-jerseys-p-25720.html Suggs Elite Jerseys],” Green said. | ||
| + | |||
| + | It should be pointed out here that Cunningham was actually 11-8 against the Redskins in his career,[http://www.jerseys-online.org/cheap-nike-seattle-seahawks-3-wilson-blue-limited-jersey-p-28990.html seattle seahawks 3 jerseys cheap], though he won just two of his first seven meetings. But the point Green was making was a larger one. | ||
| + | |||
| + | “Our philosophy was that when you have a [quarterback] who is so talented, now it comes down to his maturity,” Green said. “We believed ― and we may be wrong ― that sometimes he would call the play in the huddle and in the back of his mind he’s saying, ‘Man, I’m running this ball.’ | ||
| + | |||
| + | It’s like when we were in the streets playing. . . . We were waiting for that. You have to learn, even though [the Redskins] have a unique package that they’re running,[http://jingji09.uueasy.com/read.php?tid=139825 China scoops up 220,000 pounds of poisoned dead fish], you better drop back to throw that ball like the players of old.” | ||
| + | |||
| + | Adapting the playbook for the sake of self-preservation has been on the minds of the Redskins all offseason. And while taking the run threat completely out of Griffin’s game wouldn’t be wise, mitigating the risk is the challenge for both the team and player this year.</html> | ||

| + | == Visit to St. Cloud Hospital results in same surgery for 2 br == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>When his brother Bruce from Villard called him in pain Sunday, LeRoy Hanson of Sartell offered to give him a ride to the hospital. | ||
| + | They both ended up on the operating table the next day. | ||
| + | ?I got a call from Bruce on Sunday ... because he didn?t know his way around St. Cloud, so I met him over at Mills Fleet Farm,? said LeRoy, 65. | ||
| + | But by Monday night, the helpful sibling ended up having emergency gallbladder surgery just like his 63-year-old brother. | ||
| + | The two have always had more than a few things in common. | ||
| + | LeRoy, a truck driver and a father, served in the Navy and in Vietnam the same time as Bruce, who was in the Army and is now retired. Bruce is also a father. | ||
| + | Same symptomsLeRoy said his brother was ?white as a ghost? and ?sicker than a dog? when they met up in Waite Park. | ||
| + | ?He was having some kind of pain in his right lower abdomen area,? LeRoy said of his brother. Bruce initially sought treatment at the St. Cloud VA Health Care System, where he was told he should go to St. Cloud Hospital. | ||
| + | ?At St. Cloud Hospital, they checked him out with an ultrasound and X-rays and told him that his gallbladder had to be removed,? LeRoy said. | ||
| + | About 7 p.m. Sunday, while LeRoy sat in the hospital waiting room, he began experiencing the same symptoms as his brother. | ||
| + | ?I thought it was indigestion,[http://www.jerseys-online.org/nfl-jerseys-online-598 wholesale nfl jerseys china], so I was kind of hanging around to see what the doctors had to say about him,[http://registration.volley.ee/help/index.php?title=Kasutaja:Kohnmichael#6_Ways_to_.E2.80.9CGang_Proof.E2.80.9D_your_Kids 6 Ways to “Gang Proof” your Kids], but I started to get worse and worse,? LeRoy said. | ||
| + | He went home after vomiting in a hospital bathroom, but the symptoms did not go away, and he did not feel any better. | ||
| + | ?I went to bed, but I just kept waking up all night, and the next morning (on Monday),[http://www.jerseys-online.org/pittsburgh-steelers-online-598_621 Pittsburgh Steelers Jerseys China], I was in so much pain that I asked my wife to take me to the hospital,? he said. | ||
| + | GallbladderLeRoy was examined, had an ultrasound performed, and doctors told him he needed his gallbladder removed, too. | ||
| + | ?The chances are pretty slim that two brothers would have surgery on the same day for the same thing at the same hospital,? he said of their operations, which took place hours apart Monday. | ||
| + | That?s not too unusual for the Hansons. When they were children, they had their tonsils taken out at the same time, too. | ||
| + | ?I feel a lot better now than before the gallbladder surgery,? LeRoy said Tuesday.</html> | ||
