Therefore SFA (and dietary cholesterol) increases the risk of CVD and PUFA decreases the risk of CVD.
Therefore SFA increases the risk of CVD and PUFA decreases the risk of CVD.
* If we go off the short term studies, replacing 10% carbohydrate with SFA will increase total cholesterol by about 0.4 mmol/l (15.2 mg/dl) and increase the Total:HDL-C ratio by 0.03. For reference a good Total:HDL-C ratio might be between 3:1 to 4:1 a bad ratio around 5:1 or 6-1. In other words replacing 10% carbohydrate with SFA increases the Total:HDL-C by less than 1%. Then if we assume we can use the Total:HDL-C ratio as a risk factor we have increased our risk of CVD by less than 2.1%. Then consider that no food in 100% SFA. As we can see in the second graph all the fats are expected to reduce the Total:HDL-C ratio.
Most of the clinical trials in this area are poorly designed. Some aren't randomised, most aren't isolating one variable (SFA vs linoleic acid) and are instead replacing SFA and artificial TFA with omega 6 PUFA and omega 3 PUFA, and some change the whole diet along with SFA for the intervention group.
However, replacing SFA and TFA with just linoleic acid increases CVD by 16% and all-cause mortality by 13%  . Artificial TFA has been well established to promote CVD, so one would expect the effect of replacing SFA with omega 3 and 6 PUFA would be smaller than a 22% decrease in mortality and the effect of replacing SFA with linoleic acid would be greater than a 16% increase in CVD and a 13% increase in total mortality.


My passion for photography started a young age and has grown into something that is truly part of me. I honestly cannot tell you a time that I haven't been somewhere and the thought, "that would be a great shot" doesn't pop into my head. It is a thrilling feeling for me to snap the shutter and just know I captured something special, especially a rare moment or maybe a different perspective on something that others may not notice.
I don't like to confine myself by putting a label on what I create. I certainly have subjects I like to shoot more than others but I like the freedom of shooting anything that catches my eye and creating an image that can come from any corner of my imagination. I do like a challenge which is why I am probably drawn to concert and wildlife photography most often. Successfully grabbing that precise moment that life meets lighting, meets the spot on composition, really is satisfying. The more emotion and feeling that bleeds through the better, where anyone looking at the shot feels like they were there.
One of my favorite things to do is to grab my camera, load up my dogs in the car and just drive down random highways and dirt roads, shooting whatever I come across. Sometimes I find just a few good shots and sometimes I find gold, like an abandoned sofa along a country road or that old car parked in the middle of the yard next to a tree. You don't know what you'll end up with and that's the adventure.
My work in digital art really grew from seeing the potential of enhancing or transporting a subject that I've shot into another place or time, or maybe showing what a slight twist of the imagination can bring. I'm inspired by many different things. Sometimes a lyric in a song that pops a vivid picture in my mind, sometimes its building on something I glimpsed in a movie or an idea may pop in randomly while driving. I usually have at least 4-5 ideas jotted down at any given time. Creating art for a theme is always fun as well. Having that assignment often gives direction to some of those ideas I have scribbled down and it also pushes me to create something new that might not have popped into my head otherwise. The best thing about being a digital artist is sculpting a concept into creation that really has endless possibilities.
I can't imagine life without a camera in my hand. My goal is to just keep shooting and creating photographs and art that entertain me and hopefully along the way, speak to others. As a photographer and artist you hope that people appreciate your eye and what you are able to create. A great feeling is when someone shares they really like one of my pieces and better yet, was inspired to chase their dream.
I have always felt being a photographer is more about being aware of what's around you, having an appreciation for the little things and possessing the eye to capture the essence of the moment so it can be shared.

Q: How do I filter FindFirstUrlCacheEntry()? I have studied the documentation on MSDN, but it doesn't work for me, I am wondering what I'm doing wrong?
My code is as follows, I am trying to filter my IE cache, for example, to get only the cookies:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <wininet.h>

int main(void) {
    DWORD dwEntrySize;
    DWORD dw;
    LPCTSTR filter = "cookie:";
    INTERNET_CACHE_ENTRY_INFO * entry;
    DWORD MAX_CACHE_ENTRY_INFO_SIZE = 4096;
    HANDLE hCacheDir;
    int nCount=0;
    BOOL ok = FALSE;

    dwEntrySize = MAX_CACHE_ENTRY_INFO_SIZE;
    entry = malloc(dwEntrySize);
    entry->dwStructSize = dwEntrySize;

    printf("Reading IE cache\n");
    hCacheDir = FindFirstUrlCacheEntry(filter, entry, &dwEntrySize);

    if ( hCacheDir ) {
        printf("%ws\n", entry->lpszLocalFileName);
        nCount++;

        do {
            dwEntrySize = MAX_CACHE_ENTRY_INFO_SIZE;
            entry = malloc(dwEntrySize);
            entry->dwStructSize = dwEntrySize;

            ok = FindNextUrlCacheEntry(hCacheDir, entry, &dwEntrySize);
            if (ok && entry->lpszLocalFileName != NULL) {
                printf("%ws\n", entry->lpszLocalFileName);
                nCount++;
            }
        } while ( ok );

        printf("**** end cache, total count: %d\n", nCount);
    }
    else {
        dw = GetLastError();
        printf("error code: %d\n", dw);
    }

    free(entry);
    FindCloseUrlCache(hCacheDir);

Q: Как передать переменную из js в php через ссылку методом POST запроса Есть набросок на  js

function  registerIsPressed ()
{ var b = "Регистрация"; document.getElementById("myinput").value=b; }

 Зарегистрироваться
 <?
   $b = $_POST['myinput'];
   echo $b;
 ?>

Мне нужно что-бы при клике на ссылку передавалась переменная b со значением, взятым из файла js

A: А почему через ссылку методом POST? наверно правильнее через ссылку методом GET.  Пример:

JS

function  registerIsPressed ()
{
 var b = "Регистрация";
 window.location.href="http://vash_url.ru?myinput="+b

 }

PHP

<?php
 $b = $_GET['myinput'];
   echo $b;
?>

UPD

Для передачи значения из JS в  PHP так же можете использовать COOKIE, т.е в js задать куку и после перезагрузки получить данную куку в PHP

About Steve Clark
In case it matters to you, we thought it might be good to post some information here about the founder of Parent Engagement Solutions, Steve Clark. Having some insights about the roots of this organization may help build trust or give you a reason to take a closer look. If it'll helps improve parent engagement, then it needs to be posted here.
Some History
With two children in public schools and an MBA in Technology Management, Steve Clark began seeing other ways for schools to evolve, improve, and better serve its students. Parent meetings that were discouraging, confusing, and divided people were seen as an invitation to get involved. With a background that included work in training and development, leadership development, community development, and educational technology development, Steve had learned a great deal about building new directions from scratch.
Over the years he worked on many committees, led and facilitated, asked questions, listened, learned, researched, and studied. He studied topics ranging from prenatal learning and child brain development, to organizational learning, culture shifting, and systems analysis. His core hope was to help school leaders become explorers of new opportunities. But he wasn't one of them, and was largely ignored. So he then figured out that parents were the sleeping army that could change the world.
In his quest to inspire new ways for schools to create positive change, Steve realized that parents were hugely motivated, under-utilized, under-informed, and were even becoming deliberately marginalized because schools didn't know how to develop this army of volunteers into a force for the success of each child.
With educational technology finally gaining a larger influence in both the classroom and school board meetings, the avenue by which parent engagement could be improved on a large scale, and at a low cost, was finally available. Digital learning platforms were simultaneously, the puzzle that ostracized parents and the medium through which parents could become mobilized. All that was missing was a lens through which these possibilities could be clearly seen.
That is where Parent Engagement Solutions comes in. It is the brainchild of Steve Clark who believes in the power of learning, not just for students, but also for teachers and parents, too. If teachers don't know how to include parents in their child's education process (meaning - more than eighty percent instead of the average fifteen percent), then there needs to be a path for that learning to be achieved. If parents don't know how to interact with schools, help with homework, and create inspired student mindsets, then why not create learning around that? The point is that all of these things can be solved. So let's solve them!
As an extension of his work with Parent Engagement Solutions, and arising out of his observations from working with school districts, Steve Clark began writing articles to broaden his message. The links below will take you to his articles, not as a promotion, but as a peek inside the thinking, vision, and motivation behind Parent Engagement Solutions.

Weekend at Pres Fleuris
Jitendra Dave (LR 66-72)is alive and well in Sumter, South Calorina, USA, living with his wife Anne and two children. Jit works for a bank and plays tennis regularly. Pichet Nithivasin (LR 69-73) owns and runs the Narai Hotel in Bangkok. He has been visited by Mark Johnson (LR 70-72), Pradeep Kapadia and Kim Campbell. He recently attended his daughter Nithida's graduation ceremony at Purdue University. John Paul Lewis (LR 70-73) wrote his first novel, Buffalo Gordon, published in 2001. He lives with his wife and daughter in the Washington, D.C. area. Giancarlo Felli retired from being a physical therapist and now builds custom houses in Montana Crans. He lives with his wife Nati (who attended the Les Roches Hotel Management School) and daughter Julia in Crans. Still an avid skier, Giancarlo never stops appreciating the view from his window or the thrill of a fresh snowfall. Margaret Mallon Pujol lives near Paris with her husband Theirry and twins Sebastien and Claire. Charles Mallon (LR 71-74), her brother, lives in the Washington DC area and works as a senate aide. Susan (Seipel) Sturgis, (PF 71-74) lives in Houston after many, many years in Doha, Bahrain. She has four children, the oldest of which recently graduated from college. Heather Kinsley (PF 71-74) lives in Canada and works as a software programmer for the Canadian Postal Service. She has a daughter in school in London. David Watson, who taught English (and real life) at LR in 1971-72, lives with his wife and daughter in Rye Brook, NY. He is the director of the Emelin Theater in Manaroneck, NY. Joy and Dennis Hill, who taught Biology and Math respectively for many years at LR, moved to St. Cergue near Geneva. Mr. Hill was the head of the Math department at College du Leman (also owned by a Clivaz) for many years until his retirement in 2000. Jana Moore lives with her husband and sons in Durango, Colorado. Obituary:
We sadly note the passing of Mr. Jim Sherry, who taught History and Spanish at Les Roches, after a long battle with cancer. After the international school closed, Mr. Sherry continued to live in Bluche. In 1985, Cornell Navori (LR 71-74) and Pradeep Kapadia shared a drink with Mr. Sherry at Auberge Petit Paradis. After a few glasses of local wine, Mr. Sherry admitted that the years he taught at Bluche were the most fulfilling years of his life. He will be missed by those who appreciated his wit and dry sense of humor. Reunion News:It's still in the early planning stages, but the next FOB reunion will most likely be in Woodstock, NY, in July, 2003. I picked Woodstock because nothing typifies my 3 years at LR/PF from '69-72 more than the Woodstock Music Festival. In fact, Ross Povenmire and I attended the 25thanniversary Woodstock Music Festival in 1994 and had a blast for 3 days and nights. Going to Woodstock will have sentimental meaning for many of us, but let's face it — we're not going to re-live our hippie days all over again. For one, many of us have families and few of us men have any hair left. Moreover, the Woodstock site today is nothing more than green fields, dairy farms (yes, there is a Yasgur's Farm) surrounded by shops, arts and crafts stores and resorts.
The reunion would take on two personalities — the country reunion, over 2 — 3 days, at Woodstock; and the city reunion, over 2 — 3 days, in New York City. This way alumni from far and wide can experience the hustle and bustle of New York City — a boat tour around Manhattan, a trip to the top of the Empire State Building, a meal in Chinatown, a Broadway show, etc. Then a calm vacation in Upstate New York, 2 hours north of NYC, staying at a large bed and breakfast or small resort, with tennis, golf, biking, fishing, etc. Somewhere during the reunion, we'll have the obligatory walk up a mountain with stale bread, sausage and chocolate, followed by a soiree.
If you're interested in this reunion, or would like to propose an alternate site, please let us know by posting your thoughts on our web site atwww.friendsofbluche.com.

On Wednesday, police found the actor in his locked car with a gunshot wound to the face and a gun in his lap. While the incident was being investigated as a possible suicide, Moses' sister. Teerea Kimro, told TMZ that she believes "with all her heart" that someone kidnapped her brother and then murdered him some days later.
According to Teerea, the actor had a taping booked for Monday before police had found his body, but he never made it. She claims that this sort of behavior was something "he would never do." The late actor's sister continued, saying that Moses loved "where his career was heading" and that "they were planning big things in the near future."
His Sister Claims It Was Her Gun Found In The Car, But The Police Are "Not Ruling Anything Out."
Teerea does admit that she owned the weapon found in the car with Moses. She reportedly told investigators that her brother enjoyed heading to the gun range and assured police that he had a license to carry the weapon.
While the case is being investigated as a possible suicide, the family has confirmed that the police are also looking at possible foul play.
Henry County Police Captain told TMZ that the case is being "investigated as a possible suicide" but that "detectives are following any and all available avenues," the police captain stated that investigators are "not ruling anything out."
Just weeks before the actor's death, he had penned a message of optimism heading into the new year, "I know 2022 is going to be even better. Wishing everyone a happy, safe, and prosperous New Year! May this year bring us all everything we desire and more!"

Last night the 'family' met up at Suntec City for dinner. Carl's Jr serves the best damn burgers in town. It's a 100% American fast food joint. The burgers are the right size and the fries are done just right. I'm heading back there for dinner real soon! After dinner, we had drinks at Happy. I like the layout and ambience of the bar. It's owned by local celebrity director Glenn Goei and partners. I guess you could say that most of it patrons are from the gay community and its a few steps away from Mox Cafe and Bar.
Along those lines, Singapore should have its own Gay Pride parade. Not sure if the authorities will allow it but it's worth looking into. Anyone who thinks that gays are an outcast to society, need to look at themselves in the mirror. Same goes to those whom can't imagine having a gay friend or having a drink with one.
Rouge was good as always last night. All it took was a couple of beers and 2 Guinness Drafts to get me going. I love to see Boy when he's high. He's full of smiles and laughs at just about anything.
Shashi is off to Kuala Lumpur for a football match and will be back on Sunday. We'll probably have a nice and easy drinking session at Bar None.
Everyone git down wit the rainbow!
sure...next thursday sounds good. maybe bar none after that?
i love carl's Jr.thats my fav burger joint at the moment.
exactly bro! it's a happy place. i thought they had a good crowd on thursday.
carl's jr is awesome huh? i'm going back there to eat real soon.

Allison Feldman murder suspect arrested
By Scottsdale Police Department Public Information Office
Today, Scottsdale Police arrested 42-year-old Ian L Mitcham for the February 2015 murder of Scottsdale resident Allison Feldman. His arrest in Phoenix at 9:57 a.m. this morning marks the culmination of an intense three year investigation into Allison's senseless death. That investigation, and today's arrest was made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Scottsdale Police Department, Arizona Governor's Office, Arizona State Attorney General's Office, Department of Public Safety and the Maricopa County Attorney's Office.
On Wednesday February 18, 2015 at just after 4:00 p.m., Scottsdale Police Department Patrol officers responded to 8526 E Monterey Way, Scottsdale reference a female that had been found by her boyfriend deceased inside the home. That female was soon identified as 31-year-old Allison Feldman and her death was quickly determined to be a homicide.
Investigators and Crime Scene Specialists spent the next four days working tirelessly, methodically and systematically collecting forensic evidence from inside the home. That effort has continued for the last three years with Investigators spending countless hours canvassing the neighborhood, talking with the community, following up on tips and leaving no stone unturned in the effort to bring Allison's murderer to justice.
Through the investigation our Detectives knew that Allison was killed sometime between February 17, 2015 and the early morning hours of February 18, 2015. From the start, we have stated that this investigation is and has been driven by forensic science and evidence. A DNA profile was developed from evidence at the scene, but unfortunately no match was found in the current databases.
In late 2017 our detectives began to work with the Arizona Governor's Office, Arizona State Attorney General's Office, Maricopa County Attorney's Office, and the Department of Public Safety to expand that forensic search. Our goal was to expand the parameters of the DNA search through the use of Familial DNA. "We were at a point of impasse. We were out of leads and still had a very violent offender on the loose", Scottsdale Police Department Assistant Chief Scott Popp.
Familial DNA searches, though not used up to this point in Arizona, have been used successfully in other states in recent years. The process widens the search parameters of the offender data base to identify people that may be close relatives of the person who committed the crime. Using this process, we were able to develop a match, which ultimately led to Mitcham's arrest today.

Orange does not mean organic.
Once upon a time, common nutrition folklore suggested brown chickens' eggs were more nutritious than white. Word finally spread that the hue of an ovo makes absolutely no nutritional difference, and people finally stopped paying a premium for the slightly more stylish option.
Today, however, discerning egg eaters believe they can tell a "good," pasture-raised, organic egg from a "bad" (read: conventional) one by the color of the yolk. That, it turns out, is also a lie.
That's despite the fact that people have come to rely on the color of the egg yolk to offer clues as to whether the egg they're scrambling is organic or of a certain quality level. Common chicken wisdom suggests the more orange a yolk is the happier the hen was when she laid the egg. A happy egg yolk translates to one that is free to roam and plunder the earth for natural food. Steele says, however, the color could be a complete fake.
This pigment is in foods like marigold, alfalfa, pumpkin, and a lot of leafy greens, Steel says. "Chickens that are out in grass or a pasture are naturally getting it from the things they're eating," she adds.
However, chickens can also get these foods without ever stepping a tiny chicken foot in a big open pasture. Feed manufacturers can add these ingredients—marigolds and alfalfa are most common—to their product, and the chickens will in turn produce eggs with sunset orange yolks, a characteristic most commonly associated with high-quality, pastured-raised eggs.
Of course, that also means you can't tell if an egg is telling the full story based solely on appearance. The color isn't an indication, which means the only way to truly know if the egg you're eating came from a happy chicken that roams a pasture or a sad chicken packed in a cage is to see the chickens in their habitat.
Your local farmer's market is an excellent place for finding an egg source you trust. However, when shopping the supermarket, your best bet is to understand what the labels on egg cartons actually mean—it's not always the same as what they imply. This handy guide to egg carton terminology from Cooking Light is an excellent resource.
If it's fresh: Steele says the yolks from fresh eggs stand tall and mighty, and the whites are thick and gelatinous. As eggs age, however, the yolks stretch out, and it more closely resembles a flat pancake when cracked into the pan. That doesn't mean your egg is bad, of course. It just means it's been sitting around for a while.

El ministerio del lector es un ministerio laical de la Iglesia católica.

Anteriormente fue considerada una de las órdenes menores. Los lectores eran frecuentemente más jóvenes que los porteros porque era la primera orden que se daba a los niños que entraban en el clero. Servían también de secretarios a los obispos y a los presbíteros y se instruían leyendo y escribiendo por su dirección. De este modo, se formaba a los que eran más propios para el estudio y que podían llega a ser presbíteros.

Su función ha sido siempre necesaria pues siempre se han leído en la iglesia las escrituras del Viejo y el Nuevo Testamento ya sea durante la misa ya en los otros oficios, principalmente en los de la noche. Se leían también cartas de los otros obispos, actas de los mártires y después homilías de los Padres de la iglesia. Los lectores estaban encargados de la custodia de los libros sagrados lo cual los exponía mucho en los tiempos de las persecuciones.

La fórmula de la ordenación que se tomaba, así como para el resto de órdenes menores del cuarto Concilio de Cartago, contiene que deben leer para el que predica, cantar las lecciones, bendecir el pan y los frutos nuevos. La iglesia los exhortaba a leer fielmente y a practicar lo que leían y los ponía en la clase de los que administran la palabra de Dios. La función de cantar las lecciones se hizo posteriormente por todo tipo de clérigos y sacerdotes.

Inspiring students to get job ready
The following piece is adapted from an account by Aaron Greaves, Community Matters
Andy steps up from the table and starts dishing out sheets of paper: 'I just thought these might help!'
But Andy isn't running the session. He's a learner and that's the strength of this group. Through the Welcome Trust, the Midlands Adult Union School Fund, and previously Community Matters, the WEA is able to run the Oldbury project in the West Midlands. The project helps people to build confidence and achieve their individual future goals. This may be into further training, volunteering and employment.
Gill Walker, WEA Project Co-ordinator runs the programme:
'There are many reasons why people can find it very challenging to get a job, including physical and mental health issues. People don't always receive the support that they need.
'The distance some participants have traveled just to get through that door is great, and I'm not talking in a geographical sense, they've all got their own challenges to overcome but this group has developed a great deal of strength in the way they all support each other.'
Participants do what you'd expect in terms of taking steps towards employment and future training, for example looking at job and volunteering adverts, working on CVs, exploring their confidence issues and practicing interview techniques. What this group does best, however, is allowing its members to share their experiences, questions, and tips, providing an exceptional support network. There is a strong partnership between the group, the tutor and the project co-ordinator. Everyone inputs into the learning environment in terms of ideas and resources. Members of the group regularly give presentations to the rest of the group on a range of topics. Andy himself gave a presentation to the Regional General Meeting.
On reflecting back Andy said:'I started coming in January and I've been coming ever since. When I first came I was nervous and everything but as soon we broke the ice, we all got on like a house on fire!'
After having to leave his job in 2003 to look after his mother and father, it's been difficult for Andy to get back into employment, it's something he has been working hard to combat:
'I do suffer from confidence issues when meeting new people and especially looking for a job. But it's great to come here, make friends and build that confidence.
'The project has helped me look at things differently, not only the way I go about interviews but also how I can support and help people with problems. The setup is great, we can have a general chat about the issues we have which is really helpful.'
Getting back into employment may not be too far away for Andy, who has taken up a number of volunteer positions to help him get back into a routine. Working on the Action for Children funded Coffee Cart in the local library, providing admin support in the Volunteer Bureau and helping to promote the Action for Children Charity.
The group as a whole are already proud owners of two Social Impact Awards from the Volunteer Bureau and the WEA. Two members have also become WEA Volunteers. 18 months on from the start, the group continues to go from strength to strength. It is now at a point where it is reaching out to other groups in the WEA and community to build new partnerships, and hopefully to inspire others to have a go and get involved.

ADDAC System 805 Eurorack Module Offers Four-Quadrant Mixing
Inspired by its renowned 701 VCO waveform mixing section, the 805 VC Signal Router employs three X-faders for advanced morphing and sweeping of signals
Lisbon, Portugal, December 20, 2019 — ADDAC System has announced availability of its new 805 VC Signal Router. While taking up just 8hp of space and priced at €160, the VC Signal Router is an economical way to add significant dimension and new signal flow options to just about any modular set up.
Inspired by ADDAC System's 701 VCO waveform mixing section, the new VC Signal Router also updates the company's legacy X-Fade/Panner to a stereo configuration that also allows four quadrant mixing. This feature is achieved by using the stereo Master knob as an X-fader between the left and right channels. By plugging in the four audio sources and sweep/crossfade between any of them using the three combined X-faders, users can plug any four sources (for instance, four waveforms of a VCO, four LFOs, four envelopes) — then sweep, morph or mix them to their heart's content.
"Our VC Signal Router builds on some basic mixing principles derived from our 701 VCO waveform mixing section, while bringing in a new dimension of sound placement possibilities," said André Gonçalves, founder of ADDAC System. "Even though the 805 requires a relatively small investment. four quadrant mixing can add a glacial effect to just about any soundscape."
A peculiar signal flow meant to inspire
The VC Signal Router features two dedicated X-faders and a stereo VCA that can also be used as a third X-Fader. All controls have their own CV inputs and dedicated Attenuverters for precision control. Left and Right X-fader channels can also be routed through the Master stereo VCA or sent directly to the outputs. Further, a stereo Direct input can also be routed through the Master VCA or sent straight to the outputs.
The Mono Sum output always mixes Left and Right outputs together, allowing users with the possibility of using the module as a peculiar six channel mono mixer. It can be used for both Audio or CV Signals.
Features:
6 mono inputs
2 dedicated X-faders with Control knob + CV Input and Attenuverter Each X-fader can be routed through the Master mix or straight into the outputs.
Master channel can be used as a stereo VCA or an X-fader
Stereo direct inputs can be routed through the Master mix or straight into the outputs.
Fully analog audio path with high quality/low noise VCAs.

• Not a whole lot of information on this one, but there's definitely a whole lot of promise. Enigmatic vocalist Sosi cropped up during a routine visit on Soundcloud thanks to a repost by the always on-point Bine, with the mysterious and gorgeous "this is the thing." Produced by rising super-producer Drip-133, the ghostly track is eloquently put together, showcasing the collective talents of both of the promising artists involved. Here's hoping we hear more from Sosi soon.

Democrats Want to End Lucrative Retirement Loophole
Democrats are proposing a number of tax reforms related to retirement accounts, including the elimination of backdoor Roth IRA conversions for the wealthiest Americans.
Congressional Democrats want to slam shut a tax loophole known as the "backdoor" Roth IRA. In one of several proposed changes that target the retirement accounts of wealthy Americans, Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee want to prohibit people who make more than $400,000 per year from converting pre-tax retirement savings accounts into a Roth IRA. The proposed reforms are part of the Democratic push to raise taxes on the wealthiest to fund a $3.5 trillion spending plan.
A financial advisor can help you make sense of potential law changes in Washington and how they might affect you. Find an advisor now.
"Backdoor" Roth IRA Conversions – Definition and Elimination Proposals
Under current tax law, individuals making more $140,000 per year are barred from contributing to a Roth IRA, where retirement savings grow tax-free. However, since 2010, workers who exceed this income threshold have been permitted to convert their pre-tax contributions into a Roth IRA. After paying income taxes on the initial contributions and gains, their retirement savings grow tax-free and will no longer be subject to required minimum distributions (RMDs).
These backdoor Roth conversions, which have grown in popularity, allow high-income earners to sidestep the income requirements on Roth IRAs and capitalize on the tax-free growth these types of accounts offer.
But the use of this strategy could be coming to an end. Democrats on the House Ways and Means proposal, want to prohibit Roth conversions for people making more than $400,000 per year. If approved, the rule change would apply to distributions, transfers and contributions made in taxable years beginning after Dec. 31, 2021.
The proposed legislation also seeks to eliminate "mega backdoor" Roths, a sophisticated strategy that allows people enrolled in certain retirement plans to save up to $38,500 in extra after-tax contributions for retirement. If approved, the provision that targets mega backdoor Roth conversions would take effect after Dec. 31, 2021.
New Limitations on IRA Contributions
Democrats also want to prohibit high-income taxpayers from amassing tax-deferred fortunes inside retirement accounts. To do so, they plan to restrict people above specific income thresholds from continuing to contribute to Roth and traditional IRAs if they already have $10 million saved in IRAs or other defined contribution retirement accounts. Under current law, taxpayers can contribute to IRAs regardless of how much they already have saved.
The proposed limit on contributions would apply to single or married taxpayers who file separately and make more than $400,000, married taxpayers filing jointly with taxable income greater than $450,000 and heads of households who make more than $425,000.
The proposed crackdown comes as the retirement accounts of the wealthiest Americans continue to swell. According to the Government Accountability Office, 9,000 taxpayers had at least $5 million saved in IRAs in 2011. Eight years later, that number had more than tripled to over 28,000, data from the Joint Committee on Taxation shows.
Under this leg of the Democratic proposal, employer-sponsored defined contribution plans would also be required to report balances of over $2.5 million to both the Internal Revenue Service and to the plan participant whose balance exceeds $2.5 million.
Minimum Distribution Required for Accounts Exceeding $10 Million
Democrats also propose that high-income earners with more than $10 million saved in retirement accounts must take minimum distributions from those accounts.
"If an individual's combined traditional IRA, Roth IRA and defined contribution retirement account balances generally exceed $10 million at the end of a taxable year, a minimum distribution would be required for the following year," the proposal reads.
Under the legislation, the IRS would require high-income earners with more than $10 million saved in retirement accounts to take a distribution equal to 50% of their savings that exceed the $10 million threshold. For example, if Joan has $12 million in her 401(k) and various IRAs, she would be required to take a $1 million distribution the following year.
The income thresholds would be identical to those from the proposal aiming to curb IRA contributions for the wealthy. If approved, both provisions would take effect after Dec. 31, 2021.
Big changes could be coming to the retirement accounts of wealthy Americans. Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee want to eliminate backdoor Roth IRA conversions, prohibit high-income earners with over $10 million in retirement accounts from contributing to their IRAs and mandate that certain high-income earners with massive retirement savings take annual distributions.

Just like Roger Goodell, I'll be watching the NFL season opener on television tonight. The commissioner probably has one heck of a man cave all tricked out for such purposes.
Of course, if an expression of ultimate manhood were his aim, Roger would be at Gillette Stadium instead to withstand a blast of New England fan response colder and more vicious than any Nor'Easter.
This showcase game, Pittsburgh and the Patriots on a Thursday opening night, is how the Deflategate case would have looked and sounded if the judge had conducted hearings in an open, public setting. Somewhere like, say, Boston Common.
We'll get football instead, which is almost as violent and combative as that might have been, and we'll get Tom Brady playing quarterback for the Patriots rather than Jimmy Garoppolo, who might have played great but still put half of America to sleep by halftime.
This Thursday night energy is made for superstars and super teams, which is why the Miami Dolphins haven't been involved in the league's kickoff special since 2006.
Ratings weren't so great that year, but it wasn't all the Dolphins' fault. The league office scheduled what it thought was a Miami team on the rise with Nick Saban as coach against the defending Super Bowl champion Steelers at Heinz Field.
Nobody knew, of course, that Ben Roethlisberger would need an emergency appendectomy four days before the game. That left Charlie Batch in charge of the Steelers offense.
Here's another thing that few saw coming. The Dolphins, winners of six in a row to end the 2005 season, were about to lose five out of six to begin 2006. If Saban hadn't already started looking for an out, it couldn't have been much longer.
Anyway, the NFL tried to kick it off right that night. Rascal Flatts did a pregame concert on a special stage behind the Heinz Field end zone. Martina McBride sang the national anthem. Fireworks filled the sky.
Then Daunte Culpepper took the field for the first of his four starts as Miami quarterback. What a buzzkill.
Short story, Batch threw three touchdown passes and Culpepper threw two interceptions, both of them in the fourth quarter and one of them returned 42 yards for a score by Joey Porter. Pittsburgh won 28-17.
Tonight's game should be far more entertaining for a nation of football junkies all amped up for the real thing. Brady is back, for openers, or was he ever really gone? The entire debate thrills and disgusts vast segments of the population at once, which is the most irresistable television of all.
What's more, this could turn into a high-scoring shootout. That Steelers defense is far less than it used to be, especially in the secondary, and Big Ben, a two-time Super Bowl winner, could rough New England up pretty good, too.
The Dolphins, of course, open at Washington Sunday. It could be the start of a lot of good things. Can't hope to get back into games as high-profile and symbolically charged as the annual NFL Thursday night kickoff if they can't win that one.

River Ave. Blues » The catcher's interference record is a symptom of Jacoby Ellsbury's problem at the plate
The catcher's interference record is a symptom of Jacoby Ellsbury's problem at the plate
January 26, 2017 by Mike Leave a Comment
Wednesday Night Open Thread
Thursday Notes: Mendoza, Montgomery, Prospect Lists
… dude. (Presswire)
Last year Jacoby Ellsbury shattered the very obscure single-season catcher's interference record. He reached base 12 times (12 times!) because his swing hit the catcher's glove. The previous record was eight by Roberto Kelly with the 1992 Yankees. There were 39 instances of catcher's interference around the league last year and Ellsbury had nearly one-third of him. Hey, that's why they gave him all that money, to smash records.
Anyway, Ellsbury has always had a knack for catcher's interference — he has 26 in his career, second all-time to Pete Rose, who had 29 in 10,924 more plate appearances (!) — so it's not a complete surprise he set a new record last year. But going from two or three catcher's interferences a year to a dozen in one season is staggering. It's like averaging 10-15 homers a year and then suddenly having a 60-homer season.
The catcher's interferences were a fun running gag, and hey, any way Ellsbury can get on base helps the team. That said, they're a symptom of a larger problem. Ellsbury's swing is out of whack. He's swinging too deep in the strike zone and not making good contact out over the plate. Hitting coach Alan Cockrell discussed this last week and said they've been working on it this offseason. From Bryan Hoch:
"For me, the biggest thing with Jacoby is moving his contact out front a little bit more," Cockrell said. "I've never seen a guy hit the catcher's mitt like he did. I think when Ells' contact point was maybe three, four more inches more out front from where it is right now, he can stay on balls. We're not looking for power production, but he can be a very, very productive hitter."
"We looked at all the video from his really big year in Boston, and his contact point was probably three or four inches more," Cockrell said. "So we tailored his cage routine and his maintenance work to where we're moving contact — not a lot, not a foot and a half, but just three to four inches more in front of his body."
As far as I know there's no data on where the hitter makes contact within the zone. The point of contact is not something PitchFX records, and if Statcast has that data, I have no idea where to find it. Anecdotally this makes sense though. Ellsbury is not necessarily losing bat speed. His swing path is all screwed up. It's too long in the back.
In theory, moving Ellsbury's contact point up a few inches means there will be more leverage in his swing when the bat strikes the baseball, allowing him to better drive pitches. When he makes contact deep in the zone, there's not much swing behind it, so he's not impacting the baseball all that hard. At least that's what I think is happening here, anyway. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Cockrell mentioned they've been working on this since last year, so it's not a new development. They didn't review tape after the season and discover the flaw. They've known about it a while but haven't had much success fixing the problem. "It's one of those midseason things that feels awkward, and it's tough to go out and play every night and think about something like that. This is something that we'll talk about in Spring Training," said the hitting coach.
I'm not terribly optimistic Ellsbury will be an above-average hitter going forward. He's hit .264/.326/.382 (95 wRC+) in nearly 1,800 plate appearances with the Yankees and ZiPS projects a .269/.324/.383 (97 OPS+) batting line in 2017. That sounds about right to me. I don't think moving his contact point out a few inches will be a magic cure-all, and if Ellsbury can stay within 5% of league average next year offensively, I'll take it.
The catcher's interference record was a weirdly entertaining sidebar to the season, and while reaching base is a good thing, they were part of a much larger problem. Ellsbury is not anywhere close to the player the Yankees thought they were getting based on what they paid him, but if Cockrell can move his contact point up and turn some of those catcher's interferences into base hits, it'll help Ellsbury contribute more to the offense, and the Yankees could sure use it.

Lignite: An Overview
Lignite is a major energy source, produced and consumed all over the world. It is also the most health and environment harming type of coal. However, despite of its relatively small energetic value as well as its huge environmental, health and social impact, lignite is still an important component of local and national energy strategies in many parts of the globe.
A brief characteristic of lignite
Lignite is a soft, brown rock (in fact, it may vary in colour from yellow to black), sitting close to the earth's surface. Of all coal types, lignite contains the lowest level of fixed carbon and the highest level of water. Due to its inefficiency and high ash and volatile matter content, lignite is considered as one of the world's most polluting fuels. As an intermediate stage between peat and hard coal, most lignites were formed during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras (about 251 million years ago to the present).
Lignite is the lowest quality coal, used almost exclusively as fuel in power plants. It also applies to generation of synthetic natural gas, production of briquettes (used for home heating) and extraction of wax and bitumen. The largest proven lignite reserves are located in Russia, Australia, and Germany.
Lignite and hard coal – what's the difference?
Lignite (also known as brown coal) is geologically younger brother of hard coal. Both of them are mined all over the world, but the methods of mining are extremely different. While hard coal is extracted in underground, deep mines, mining lignite takes place in open cast mines (called surface mines). The mining process of lignite translates into lower costs and, therefore, lower prices of lignite. But, due to its social and environmental impacts, the costs associated with lignite mining are much higher than previously considered.
Due to its relatively high water content, lignite is much more difficult to transport over long distances than hard coal. This is the reason why most lignite fueled coal power plants are located around the mines. Short distances between lignite mines and power plants lead to a reduction of additional air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
Lignite's high water content not only makes transport more difficult but also leads to smaller energetic value per mass unit. Compared to hard coal, a higher amount of brown coal needs to be burnt to produce the same amount of energy, which brings us to the problem of lignite related pollution.
Both lignite and hard coal mines release huge amounts of heavy pollution associated with climate change. However, lignite has more sulphur and ash content and less energetic value than hard coal, therefore burning lignite in power plants generates more pollutant emissions per megawatt.
The studies show, that given the life cycle environmental impacts of electricity from fossil fuels, lignite is the worst possible option (much worse than hard coal, oil or gas).
Global production and consumption of lignite
It's estimated that around 13.5% of the global coal production comes from lignite and the biggest lignite producer and consumer is China (followed by Germany, Russia, Turkey, and Australia). European countries, such as Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, and a few others are responsible for 50% of global lignite production and consumption. The biggest open-pit lignite mine in Europe is located in Belchatow, Poland. This 12 km long and 200 m deep mine powers the most health-harming European coal power plant – the Belchatow Lignite Coal Power Plant.
The environmental impact
Carbon dioxide emissions from burning lignite are the major cause of climate change and one of the biggest threats to the Earth. The main problem with lignite is that it is one of the most inefficient fossil fuels, producing more CO2 than hard coal, oil or gas. Moreover, air pollution affects not only the area near the power plants but also travels with prevailing weather conditions. However, the environmental effects of lignite mining and burning are not limited to air pollution. Change and degradation of the landscape are closely linked to all lignite mining activities. Due to water removal and drainage, lignite mining is responsible for significant landscape alterations and negative changes in ground and surface water status as well. It also increases the risk of seismic events.
Since the social impacts of lignite mining shouldn't be forgotten, it also leads to the forced resettlement of the population living near the mine.
Lignite – major health hazards
Air pollution from lignite power plants is extremely dangerous for our health. There are many short and long-term results associated with the repeated exposure to air pollution. The recent WHO (World Health Organisation) studies show that the harmful effects may occur at relatively low pollutant concentrations and that the health impacts are much wider than previously considered. Lignite based health risks mostly come from the release of harmful air pollutants, leading to poor air quality and therefore many heart, lung and brain diseases. These health hazards apply not only to the people living near the plants. The impacts may be felt even far away from the main source of pollution. And the numbers are terrifying. In 2016 WHO stated that 7 million people died prematurely as a result of diseases attributed to outdoor and household air pollution.
Diseases related to lignite mining are the results of three main pollutants: particulate matter (considered as the most harmful), ground-level ozone and nitrogen dioxide. The pollutants relate to many health problems, including dementia, reduced lung function, increased lung cancer risk, atherosclerosis, bladder cancer, altered cardiac autonomic function, altered rheology, and many others. The effects on children include pre-term birth, reduced birth weight, increased asthma risk and more. It's estimated that the lignite mine in Belchatow releases pollution responsible for 1,270 premature deaths, 359,200 lost working days, 630 new cases of chronic bronchitis and 1,310 hospital admissions annually.
