5 ¢ENTS WORTH by Grant Nichols It’s A Matter Of Opinion...

Guest Columnist

“A New States’ Right II ” -by Bob Perry Continuing the idea of a new States Right Law, it needs to be stated that such a law would not only provide support for legislators that fulfi lled their oath of offi ce it would be proactive in prose-cuting any person(s) or organization(s) that make false acquisitions and/or contribute to defamation of character. Not to be minimalized is the making of false claims, especially by incumbents, which make false perceptions altering many voting decisions. The families of candidates and elect-ed offi cials need to be considered off limits with it incumbent upon the state to be instrumental in protecting candi-dates and elected offi cials from abuse of all kinds. It seems that the League of Women Votes should take a look at this idea and promote if they see a chance to promote a better political environment. There is a reluc-tance for qualifi ed people to enter into the political arena due to the adverse ef-fect opponents and the media has upon candidates and families. When it comes to campaign fi nances, the parameters that exist certainly are

slanted in favor of incumbents with the ability to retain unused contributions in successive elections, and I portend that to realize a level playing fi eld. As I have proposed previously, campaign contri-butions need to be void of outside infl u-ence and be limited to only electorate who can vote for the candidate. What seems to be overlooked in campaign fi nance is contributions, especially by corporations and organizations, has a lasting infl uence with more weight than votes. Once general elections are over, all remaining contributions need to be either refunded or claimed by the state. This idea can be a reality and some-thing like this needs to be a reality for confi dence in the electoral process and elected offi cials become positive. I hope there is a positive reaction to this idea because we need improve-ments.

Madison Rising Day arrived in Brad-ford on January 10th, and we were here with our camera in hand, during the daylong tour and performance of the national band by the same name. While the members and their party fol-lowed the complete itinerary (as can be seen in our 5¢ Worth column, Bradford Journal issue of January 2nd, 2014), we caught up with them during a catered lunch provided by the New Broaster at Bob Price’s Inferno Studios. There we met the band members, manager Rich Mgrdechian, and their publicist Becky Bray. And we also watched Mayor Tom Riel turn pale as the band’s vocalist, Dave Bray, received a last minute tat-too during his lunchtime break. After taking some pictures, we stopped at the Bradford Vets Club Event Center venue, where we were we witnessed the com-plexities of a sound check, and a short mid afternoon practice by the band. Doors opened on schedule at 7:00 PM when we were entertained by an inter-esting acoustic guitar performance by Josh Hatcher, (who later in the evening ably offered a special veteran’s prayer). Next on stage came Marshmallow Overcoat band with the type of great performance that area patrons have come to expect of them. Precisely at 9:00 PM, with the crowds warmed up and standing room only at the Events Center, Madison Rising took the stage to give them what they’d been waiting for. Within moments, Dave Bray, vo-calist, engaged the crowds as the band took off with their fi rst selection. And for the next ninety minutes the room was electrifi ed with sound, energy and motion as the audience ignited and be-came one with the band. Our readers might want to spend some time in this week’s photo gallery to see variations on photos included in the issue, other people in the audience at the Club and Events Center, and videos of the vari-ous bands in action……..Photos for this week’s Issue were also taken at the Bradford American Legion Post #108 where a dinner was being held for a couple dozen paratroopers in town to perform funeral ceremony for one of their fallen brothers, SFC An-drew R. Taylor…..Our latest advertising special, beginning this week through-out the pages of the Bradford Journal, not only displays some of the fi ne ser-vice and product available in our small town setting, but also makes an appeal for more local shopping and patronage. It’s good to remember that we get a lot more than products and services when we patronize our local businesses and clubs. We also keep our hometown alive.

There com-ment on the band was, “These guys are great!” Next up would be the Madison Rising patriot band, the headliner for the event. (See gallery for photos and videos.)

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESRetirement Plan Limits Largely Unchanged In 2014

-by Jason Alderman Anyone who’s bought groceries, fi lled their gas tank or paid insurance premi-ums recently would probably be surprised to learn that, according to Department of Labor’s Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers (CPI-U), the rate of infl ation is relatively fl at – only 1.2 percent from September 2012 to September 2013. That’s bad news for people who were hoping to boost their contributions to an IRA, 401(k) plan or other tax-advantaged retirement savings accounts, since the IRS uses the CPI-U’s September year-over-year performance to determine whether or not to make cost-of-living adjustments to many of the retirement contributions you and your employer can make in the fol-lowing year. Here are highlights of what will and won’t change in 2014: Defi ned contribution plans. The maxi-mum allowable annual contribution you can make to a workplace 401(k), 403(b), 457(b) or federal Thrift Savings plan re-mains unchanged at $17,500. Keep in mind these additional factors: • People over 50 can also make an additional $5,500 in catch-up contribu-tions (unchanged from 2013). • The annual limit for combined em-ployee and employer contributions in-creased by $1,000 to $52,000. • Because your plan may limit the percentage of pay you can contribute, your maximum contribution may actually be less. (For example, if the maximum contribution is 10 percent of pay and you earn $60,000, you could only contribute $6,000.) Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). The maximum annual contribu-tion to IRAs remains the same at $5,500 (plus an additional $1,000 if 50 or older – also unchanged from 2013). Maximum contributions to traditional IRAs are not impacted by personal income, but if your modifi ed adjusted gross income (AGI) ex-ceeds certain limits, the maximum amount you can contribute to a Roth IRA gradu-ally phases out: • For singles/heads of households the phase-out AGI range is $114,000 to $129,000 (increased from 2013’s $112,000 to $127,000 range). Above $129,000, you cannot contribute to a Roth. • For married couples fi ling jointly, the range is $181,000 to $191,000 (up from $178,000 to $188,000).Keep in mind these rules for deducting traditional IRA contributions on your fed-eral tax return: • If you’re single, a head of house-hold, a qualifying widow(er) or married and neither spouse is covered by an em-ployer-provided retirement plan, you can

deduct the full IRA contribution, regard-less of income. • If you are covered by an employer plan and are single/head of household, the tax deduction phases out for AGI between $60,000 and $70,000 (up from $59,000 to $69,000 in 2013); if married and fi ling jointly, the phase-out range is $96,000 to $116,000 (up from $95,000 to $115,000). • If you’re married and aren’t cov-ered by an employer plan but your spouse is, the IRA deduction is phased out if your combined AGI is between $181,000 and $191,000 (up from $178,000 to $188,000). • For more details, read IRS Publica-tion 590 at www.irs.gov

Retirement Saver’ Tax Credit. As an in-centive to help low- and moderate-income workers save for retirement through an IRA or company-sponsored plan, many are eligible for a Retirement Savers’ Tax Credit of up to $1,000 ($2,000 if fi ling jointly). This credit lowers your tax bill, dollar for dollar, in addition to any other tax deduction you already receive for your contribution. Qualifying income ceiling limits for the Savers’ Tax Credit increased in 2014 to $60,000 for joint fi lers, $45,000 for heads of household, and $30,000 for singles or married persons fi ling separately. Consult IRS Form 8880 for more information.

Put your perishables inside the small pot and cover with a wet towel. As the wa-ter evaporates from the towel, it pulls heat out of the smaller pot, cooling the items inside it”.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDEFun Ways To Keep

Your Family Fit

(NAPSI)—Today, childhood obe-sity tops the charts as one of the prima-ry health concerns for parents. In fact, one in fi ve American kids and teens is overweight or obese and, as a result, are at risk for serious health issues such as high blood pressure, asthma, type 2 diabetes, and sleep and hormonal dis-orders that would typically appear in adulthood. Dr. Shelley Armstrong, faculty member in the School of Health Sci-ences at Walden University and a certi-fi ed health and physical educator, says, “Obesity is a very serious health and well-being issue and we can eliminate many of our kids’ physical, social, emo-tional and even academic challenges by keeping our kids fi t. When parents put a value on health and physical activity, kids are more likely to emulate that.” Know Your Numbers It’s important to become knowl-edgeable about the baseline numbers for each of your family members, such as body weight, body mass index, blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Ask your doctor to write these numbers down. Knowing these numbers will help you set goals for your family and work toward them. How To Get Started Fortunately, there are many ways parents can build fun physical activity into their family’s routines, says Dr. Armstrong. Here are some tips: • Schedule family walks or bike rides several times a week. • Create family-friendly fi tness com-petitions like family boot camps, exer-cise scavenger hunts, pickup basketball in the driveway, or touch football.

AICR HealthTalk-by Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN

American Institute for Cancer Research Q. How hard do I have to be working for activity to be considered “moder-ate”? A: The intensity of activity considered moderate depends on your level of fi tness. A simple recommended way to tell whether you are exercising at moderate-intensity is that you should be able to talk while doing it. But if you can sing, you are not pushing yourself hard enough for it to be considered moderate activity. After a few minutes of activity, if you can’t talk or can only talk in limited bursts, your exercise would be clas-sifi ed as vigorous. The most common choice of moderate activity is walking; for most people, moderate activity corresponds to a pace of 3 to 4 miles per hour (which means walking between three-quarters of a mile and a mile in 15 minutes). For some people, whose sedentary lifestyle, illness or excess weight has led to a low level of fi tness, even less demanding whole body movement may actually be moderate activity. Heart rate is sometimes used to determine whether activity is moderate, but certain medications, such as Propranolol, Metoprolol or Atenolol, can make heart rate an inappropriate tool for this purpose. Recommendations for lower cancer risk and better overall health ad-vise us to accumulate 30 minutes or more of moderate physical activity daily. You’ll likely get even more health benefi ts, and greater help if you’re seeking weight loss, by accumulating 60 minutes a day (or 30 minutes a day of vigorous activity). This moder-ate activity can occur as intentional “exercise” or may be accumulated in blocks of 10 minutes or more as part of transportation to a job, school or errands; household chores; or work. Decreasing sedentary time by boosting light activity also appears to provide health benefi ts, but for most people it cannot replace the health protection that comes from regular moderate activity.

• Be young again. Get your young children outside for a game of tag or to climb trees to get their heart rates mov-ing. • Go for a run. Running is one of the most convenient and inexpensive op-tions for exercise and also one of the best forms for weight loss. Dr. Armstrong also recommends setting exercise goals that follow the

SMART method: specifi c, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-oriented. For example, set a goal that by the end of three months your family will work up to walking briskly for a half hour af-ter dinner three nights a week.

Classically Simple – If you’re go-ing for a traditional look and taste, try using Wilton’s Snack Cake fi lling for a rich vanilla fl avor with a perfectly light, fl uffy texture. Then top your cake with Icing Glaze, it’s easy to heat and pour for a professional looking fi nish. Play Dress Up – Add personality to snack cakes with giant lips, mustaches, sunglasses or huge googley eyes. Then watch for smiles as guests visit the des-sert table. Tasty Transformations – Turn a snack cake into a school bus, bumble bee or a race car with Wilton’s Decorat-ing Kits. It’s the perfect complement to a child’s birthday party or any themed occasion. Icing Illusions – Play with your Snack Cakes for a creative twist on a personalized dessert. Slice a snack cake in half and layer on red, yellow and green icing to mirror the look of a hot dog.

Pet Education (Family Features) Just as important as housebreaking and good behaviors, socialization is a vital part of a puppy’s training regimen. The Importance of Socialization For families with a new dog in their home, getting started with this essen-tial training should begin right away. In fact, the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB) takes the position that puppies can start their fi rst socialization classes as early as seven to eight weeks, and seven days after the fi rst shot and deworming treatment. “Before 12 weeks is the best window for meeting new people, other dogs and taking in new experiences that will in-form puppies’ future behavior and re-actions,” said Debbie McKnight, a PetSmart training expert. Puppies that socialize with other puppies, dogs and humans develop into healthy, confi dent dogs. A dog that hasn’t been properly socialized may startle easily, may bark at people they are not familiar with, or react poorly to other new experiences in the future. This type of interaction is especially important during the winter months, when dogs spend a lot of time indoors.

Safe Environments Good socialization is an everyday commitment. Here are some ways to create a healthy environment for your four-legged friend: • Play: Attend scheduled classes and fi nd times for interactions with adult dogs that are tolerant and healthy, as well as other puppies. • People: Allow the puppy to meet as many people as possible within their comfort level. The pet parent needs to be an advocate for his or her puppy and not allow petting if it makes the puppy nervous. • Experiences: Expose the puppy to different surfaces, sounds and other situations.

Tips for Good Play “Good play involves give and take from both dogs,” McKnight said. “The important part is that all parties are hav-ing a good time.” Here are some tips to make the most of playtime: • If the pet parent is worried the play may be getting too rough, try mov-ing away the more assertive puppy. If the less assertive puppy moves to keep the play going, they are probably both having fun. • Tug toys can be used if there are no signs of aggression.

Helping Pets with Socialization In support of National Training Month in January, PetSmart will host in-store, off-leash puppy play dates for $10 every Sunday in January to support

puppy socialization. During the event, accredited pet trainers will narrate the playtime to help pet parents understand what they are observing. To participate, puppies must be between 8-16 weeks

old. Vaccination and health require-ments also apply. To learn more about training pro-

grams, and to fi nd a program, visit www.petsmart.com/training

Money-Saving Tips For Small Businesses (NAPSI)—Finding ways to save and turn problems into profi ts is a key qual-ity that’s shared by successful small businesses that have found a way to separate themselves from the rest of the pack. To help you and your business do the same, here are some tips. • Shine a light on savings by mak-ing sure to turn out the lights in areas of the offi ce that are not being used. An-other option is to install motion sensor lights that will automatically turn lights on and off when people enter or leave a room. The savings in your utility bill will soon be visible. • Cut back on waste and save on mailings by cleaning up your mailing list. Start by making sure that the mate-rials you are sending out are being sent to active accounts. Get rid of bad ad-dresses, inactive customers and unde-liverable mail. • Print it yourself. One way some businesses maintain control over print-ing costs—and their brand—is to do their printing in-house whenever pos-sible. For example, thanks to a new app, iClickn’Print, a growing number of businesses are fi nding they can now maintain more control over the look of

their stationery and business materials by doing their own printing. That’s the word from Mafcote, the company that created iClickn’Print. The app is designed to let business owners design their own branded busi-ness materials, such as stationery, busi-

ness cards, envelopes, letterhead, and posters and signage, from their own computers, then print them from their own printer. To make the process even easier, businesses can purchase printing paper and templates that are compatible with the app made by Geographics or Royal Brites branded paper. In addition to saving money, the app also gives a business more control over where and when the printing gets done. Plus, the application works from your computer’s Internet browser. That means there’s no need to install the pro-gram onto your computer. • When it comes to communicating what your brand is and what your busi-ness is about, do all that you can to stay focused on your message. Keep your statements, both verbal and written, simple and consistent, and make sure they refl ect your key messages. One way to do that is to make sure your name, logo and graphics—includ-ing signage—communicate your brand. That means you need a logo and color scheme that complement your verbal message and create a cohesive presentation for all your materials and website. This can help to create savings by cutting back on printing excess ma-terials that don’t refl ect the brand. • Savvy small businesses know how to save by knowing where and when to spend. For example, many small busi-nesses see money spent on marketing and promotions for the holidays as an investment, whether it’s to attract new customers or to reward existing cus-tomers for their loyalty.

Freshen Up Salads With Sweet And Juicy Pears (NAPSI)—Bring a sweet touch to your salads by adding fresh pears. In season nearly year-round, USA Pears make a great addition to salads at any meal. Their sweet fl avor pairs well with other seasonal produce, and the classic combination of pears, nuts and cheese can improve any green salad. An excellent source of fi ber, pears are also a good source of vitamin C. Adding them to salads can help you pump up your meal’s nutrition content with one tasty ingredient. To tell if a pear is ripe, simply check the neck. Apply gentle pressure to the stem end of the pear with your thumb. If it gives to pressure, then it’s ripe, sweet and juicy. For more recipe ideas, visit: www.usapears.org and follow USA Pears on Facebook, Twitter and Pinter-est.

The Facts About Your Weight And Well-Being (NAPSI)—If you or someone you care about feels there’s a slim chance of keeping fi t, it may be because of certain common but false ideas. Here’s a look at a few, as well as some facts about weight loss and nutrition. 1. Myth: Healthy eating costs too much. Fact: Eating better doesn’t have to cost a lot. Try these ideas for healthful eating on a budget: • Use canned or frozen fruits and vegetables, which may provide as many nutrients as fresh ones at lower cost. Rinse canned veggies before you cook them to remove extra salt. Choose fruit canned in its own juice or packed in water. • Canned, dried or frozen beans, len-tils and peas are healthful sources of protein that last a long time and may not cost much. 2. Myth: If I skip meals, I can lose weight. Fact: Skipping meals may make you feel hungrier and lead you to eat more than you normally would at your next meal. Consider these ideas: • For a quick breakfast, make oat-meal with low-fat milk, topped with your favorite fruit. • For healthful snacks on the go, pack a small low-fat yogurt, whole-wheat crackers with peanut butter, or veggies with hummus. 3. Myth: Physical activity only counts if I can do it for a long time. Fact: The U.S. government recom-mends 150 to 300 minutes of activity each week, but you don’t need to do it all at once. To benefi t, you can exercise for as few as 10 minutes at a time. Here

are some ways to fi t activity in: • If you’re in a safe, well-lit area, get off the bus or train one stop early and walk the rest of the way to where you’re going. • Plan a game of basketball or soccer or go dancing with friends. Learn More: You can get more in-formation from the “Weight-loss and Nutrition Myths” fact sheet created by the Weight-control Information Net-work (WIN), a national information service of the National Institute of Dia-betes and Digestive and Kidney Dis-

eases, part of the National Institutes of Health. The fact sheet covers more myths, presents facts and offers ways to make healthy eating and physical activ-ity part of your daily life. It also explains the Nutrition Facts label, suggests ways to “eat the rainbow” of healthful fruits and veggies, and lists smart choices for vegetarians and people with lactose in-tolerance.

Helping Hands — And Feet (NAPSI)—Face it: Your hands and feet do a lot of work. Chances are, your work or hobbies depend on them, so it’s

important to keep them clean, hydrated and free from cracks and splits. Here are hints on how: • Wash your hands for at least 40 seconds at a time. • Wear gloves whenever possible, especially if working in the cold, doing yard work or coming into contact with harsh chemicals. • Get a hand cream that really works.

How A Good Cream Works Consider getting a hand cream that’s not oil based, because oil repels mois-ture. Instead, try a glycerin product, which draws moisture into skin. If your skin is dry, you need to hydrate it. That’s why O’Keeffe’s Working Hands Hand Cream can bring relief to even the most severe dry skin con-ditions. Both this hand cream and O’Keeffe’s Healthy Feet Foot Cream are made in America and come with a money-back guarantee. These creams are increasingly pop-ular with nurses, fi refi ghters, postal workers and parents-and any working people who have painful cracked skin from constant exposure to water, chem-icals and hard work.

Growth Of Payroll Cards Brings Financial Inclusion For Unbanked Americans (NAPSI)—According to a recent Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) survey, more than 68 million Americans live day to day in a cash-only economy. They pay their bills and buy groceries with cash and what mon-ey they save is stuffed under the pro-verbial mattress. They are classifi ed as unbanked or underbanked, meaning they have little to no access to traditional banking ser-vices. For decades, the fi nancially under-served have had to make their payments and access their money the hard way. Now, however, that’s changing with the growing use of payroll cards. Employ-ers are increasingly moving away from issuing paper checks to paying their unbanked workers with prepaid payroll cards. In 2012 alone, more than $34 billion was loaded onto 4.6 million ac-tive payroll cards, according to the Aite Group. By 2017, it is expected that $69 billion will be loaded onto 10.8 million cards. Unbanked workers today can enjoy the same conveniences and protections with their payroll cards that most people experience with their credit and debit cards. Funds are available immediately, which eliminates the need to visit and pay exorbitant fees at check-cashing centers. The card users can swipe their cards in stores to make purchases and shop and pay bills online.

For some people, going from cash to electronic payments will take some getting used to. Short of using prepaid gift cards, many unbanked Americans have never made electronic payments. Master Your Card, a public education program sponsored by MasterCard, is working with these groups to educate them on how they can get the most for their money. The company has added new con-sumer-protection standards for all MasterCard-branded employee payroll cards for the benefi t of those without bank accounts who otherwise are at the whim of payday lenders and check

cashers. Under these new rules, em-ployers and payroll card providers must offer consumers at least one fee-free cash withdrawal per pay period, free access to account information online, and protection and zero liability if the card is lost or stolen. These standards were developed in consultation with customers and com-munity organizations through the Mas-ter Your Card and Master Your Card: Oportunidad public education pro-grams.

The Frozen Theater (NAPSI)—Coming soon to theaters internationally: A mass grave excava-tion refl ects a fallen society in a fi lm by Archival Magazine called The Frozen Theater. In this fi lm, the life and work of Grisha Bruskin, an icon of the Soviet Underground, present a second history of life between the folds of the Iron Curtain. Irina Prokharova, The New Liter-ary Observer, states, “This generation didn’t want to mutilate themselves with Soviet censorship and write and do ex-actly what was dictated to them by So-viet ideology. They were able to create a parallel world.” “A big part of the population in the Soviet Union were inmates, prison-

ers. That’s why prisoner became like a sportsman, worker, military man, young pioneer, etc. It became archetyp-al,” Bruskin describes. You can explore The Frozen Theater and other projects at archivalmagazine.com. Focusing on the social sciences including the visual and performing arts, political and economic theory, and anthropology, Archival Magazine is the gravity of art and age. The new multimedia publication produces fi lm, television, and written content for the-atrical and television release and Web distribution.

Understanding Friendship (NAPSI)—A heartwarming story of friendship that teaches children about love and acceptance has been created by Paul Harvey, Jr., author, playwright, pianist, composer, award-winning journalist, Na-tional Radio Hall of Fame inductee, and the son of legendary radio and television broadcaster Paul Harvey. His fi rst children’s book, “E: A Tale for Everybody,” with illustrations by Bryan C. Butler, is a charming and unusual story that introduces Sara, a precocious and cu-rious cicada faced with the anxious reality of so much to learn and do and so little time to do it in (cicadas emerge every 17 years but live for only about 40 days). Determined to discover meaning in her life and to make the most of the time she has, Sara becomes enamored of a human boy named Sam who soon grows fond of her as well. Friends and family of both, however, seem to disapprove. Teachers and parents can use the book as a teaching tool to help kids learn about friendships; and how to respect and em-brace those who are different from them-selves.

How to Protect Your Nest Egg From Financial Downturns (StatePoint) From increased unemploy-ment to commonplace home foreclosures, it’s hard to forget the devastating effects of the 2008 fi nancial crisis and the worst recession since the Great Depression. While the hope is that regulatory bod-ies and bureaus created in the crisis’ wake will help prevent a recurrence, some ex-perts say these reforms were shaped by the same entities responsible for the crisis -- but that citizens have the power to chart a different course for their own economic futures. “Whether policies were formed with selfl ess or selfi sh intentions, you don’t

need to quietly agree to them, especially if they are misguided. We have a system that can respond to the efforts of individu-al citizens,” says Jay W. Richards, Distin-guished Fellow at the Institute for Faith, Work & Economics and author of the new book, “Infi ltrated: How to Stop the Insid-ers and Activists Who Are Exploiting the Financial Crisis to Control Our Lives and Our Fortunes.” In his book, Richards suggests that complacency on the part of ordinary citi-zens will lead to more serious fi nancial disasters. He encourages readers to take steps to prevent future crises and protect their own nest eggs: • Get Informed: “Many culpable en-tities used the crisis fallout to lay blame elsewhere and increase their own power,” says Richards. “But with knowledge, pru-dence and intelligent action, history won’t have to repeat itself.” “The only way to prevent deception and cynicism during future crises is for ordinary citizens to get informed and out-raged enough to change our fi scal and reg-ulatory trajectory,” says Richards. • Take Control: Online educational resources can help you get informed. To brush up on basic fi nancial skills, visit My-Money.gov, a site created by the Financial Literacy and Education Commission with information on how to save, what to con-sider when borrowing, and how to make a budget. • Diversify: Experts recommend bal-ancing different types of assets, such as cash, stocks, bonds and commodities. Having different types of investments

means you might be better shielded from economic crises, because some assets might fall while others might rise. • Don’t Rely on Your Home: If the re-cession taught people anything, it’s not to rely too much on home equity for retire-ment. Many think their homes are more valuable than they really are or will be when it’s time to retire. • Be Philanthropic: “Those concerned about the future should be the fi rst to grow effective local organizations providing real safety nets for the destitute,” says Richards, who believes philanthropy is a moral responsibility best left to communi-ties. • Think of the Future: When a consum-er borrows, she or he alone bears the debt. However, when the government over-spends for short term goals, future gen-erations are expected to foot some, or all, of the bill. “This is immoral and no fancy economic theory can change that,” asserts Richards. • Be Civic: Your vote matters to politi-cians. Call, write and visit them to express concerns over economic regulations you don’t support. More information about “Infi ltrated” can be found at:

www.Infi ltratedTheBook.com. Remember, you don’t need a PhD in economics to stay informed.

Exploring One Patient’s Journey Living With CML, A Chronic Blood Cancer

(NAPSI)—After getting married and having his fi rst child all in the same year, Lee Spiva was excited to start a new chap-ter in his life. But right when he felt like life had just begun, he was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a type of blood cancer in which the body produc-es an uncontrolled number of abnormal white blood cells. According to statistics, about 28,900 people are living with CML in the U.S. It is estimated that 5,920 new cases will be diagnosed in 2013. CML occurs when pieces of two different chromosomes break off and attach to each other, creat-ing a chromosome called the Philadelphia chromosome, which contains an abnormal gene called BCR-ABL. This gene produc-es the BCR-ABL protein that signals cells to make too many white blood cells. There is no known reason for the genetic change that causes CML. CML is classifi ed by one of three phas-es—chronic, accelerated, and blast. These are defi ned by the percentage of blast cells (or immature white blood cells) in the blood or bone marrow. Physicians will order tests regularly of a patient’s blood or bone marrow to determine the current phase of disease as well as to determine if and how they are responding to therapy. Fortunately for Lee and many others with CML, there are treatment options available. For people diagnosed with CML and their medical teams, understanding the treatment options and their safety and effectiveness over time may help in deter-mining the treatment plan that is right for them. Lee describes learning about his diag-nosis “as the day his world stopped,” but he came to accept his condition and stay positive. “To fi nd out there was a pill like Sprycel®, also known as dasatinib, that I could take once a day to help treat my CML—that was of great comfort to me,” said Lee. “My medical team was also of great support as they helped motivate and teach me more about the importance of tracking treatment goals.” Sprycel is a prescription medicine used to treat adults who have newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome−positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase. The effectiveness of Spry-cel in these patients is based on a study that measured two types of response to treatment (cytogenetic and molecular) by 1 year. The study is ongoing to fi nd out how Sprycel works over a longer period of time. Sprycel is also indicated for adults with Ph+ CML who are no longer benefi t-ting from, or did not tolerate, other treat-ment including Gleevec® (imatinib me-sylate). Recently, the U.S. product labeling for Sprycel was updated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to include longer-term effi cacy and safety information in both patients with newly diagnosed Phila-delphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) CML

in chronic phase (CP) as well as patients who are resistant or intolerant to Gleevec® (imatinib mesylate). The data added to the Sprycel U.S. labeling are among the long-est follow-up data of current CML treat-ment options.

Information added to the Sprycel® (dasat-inib) label in the fi rst-line CP Ph+ CML setting is based on three-year data from DASISION (Dasatinib versus Imatinib Study in Treatment-Naïve CML Patients), an open-label, randomized, Phase 3 in-ternational trial. The safety and effi cacy evaluation in this trial is ongoing. Infor-mation was also added to the Sprycel la-beling for CP Ph+ CML patients with re-sistance or intolerance to prior imatinib therapy is based on fi ve-year data from Study CA180-034, a Phase 3 open-label, dose-optimization trial. Sprycel may cause serious side effects, including low blood cell counts, bleed-ing, fl uid retention, heart problems, and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Other common side effects of Sprycel include diarrhea, headache, cough, skin rash, fe-ver, nausea, tiredness, vomiting, muscle pain, weakness, and infections. This is not a complete list of all side effects recorded in clinical studies with Sprycel. Tell your healthcare provider if you have any side effects while taking Sprycel. Please see additional Important Safety Information for Sprycel below. Talk to your healthcare provider about any questions you may have about your health or Sprycel. To learn more about Sprycel as well as Lee’s story, visit “Spry-cel Journeys,” at www.Sprycel.com. SPRYCEL® (dasatinib) IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR PA-TIENTS Important Safety Information about SPRYCEL It is not known if SPRYCEL is safe and effective in children younger than 18 years old. Before you take SPRYCEL, tell your healthcare provider if you:• have problems with your immune system• have liver problems• have heart problems• are lactose intolerant• have any other medical conditions• are pregnant or planning to become preg-nant. SPRYCEL may harm your unborn baby. Women should not become preg-nant while taking SPRYCEL.

It is not known if SPRYCEL passes into your breast milk or if it can harm your baby. You and your healthcare provider should decide if you will take SPRYCEL® (dasatinib) or breast-feed. You should not do both Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including pre-scription and non-prescription medicines,

vitamins, antacids, and herbal supple-ments. Especially tell your healthcare provider if you take:• medicines that increase the amount of SPRYCEL in your bloodstream, such as: Nizoral® (ketoconazole), Sporanox® (itraconazole), Norvir® (ritonavir), Rey-ataz® (atazanavir sulfate), Crixivan® (indinavir), Viracept® (nelfi navir), Ne-fazodone (serzone®, nefadar), Invirase® (saquinavir), Ketek® (telithromycin), E-mycin® (erythromycin), and Biaxin® (clarithromycin).• medicines that decrease the amount of SPRYCEL in your bloodstream, such as: Decadron® (dexamethasone), Dilantin® (phenytoin), Tegretol® (carbamazepine), Rimactane® (rifampin), and Luminal® (phenobarbital).• medicines whose blood levels might change by taking SPRYCEL, such as: Sandimmune® (cyclosporine), Alfenta® (alfentanil), Fentanyl® (fentanyl), Orap® (pimozide), Rapamune® (sirolimus), Pro-graf® (tacrolimus), and Ergomar® (ergot-amine). SPRYCEL is best absorbed from your stomach into your bloodstream in the presence of stomach acid. You should avoid taking medicines that reduce stom-ach acid, such as: Tagamet® (cimetidine), Pepcid® (famotidine), Zantac® (rani-tidine), Prilosec® (omeprazole), Proto-nix® (pantoprazole sodium), Nexium® (esomeprazole), AcipHex® (rabeprazole), and Prevacid® (lansoprazole). Medicines that neutralize stomach acid, such as Maalox® (aluminum hydroxide/magnesium hydroxide), Tums® (calcium carbonate), or Rolaids® (calcium carbon-ate and magnesia), may be taken up to 2 hours before or 2 hours after SPRYCEL. Since SPRYCEL therapy may cause bleeding, tell your healthcare provider if you are using blood thinner medicine, such as Coumadin® (warfarin sodium) or aspirin. Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of your medicines and show it to your healthcare provider and pharmacist when you get a new medicine. Take SPRYCEL exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider• Take SPRYCEL with or without food. Try to take SPRYCEL at the same time each day• Swallow SPRYCEL tablets whole with water. Do not break, cut, or crush the tab-lets• You should not drink grapefruit juice while taking SPRYCEL• If you miss a dose of SPRYCEL, take your next scheduled dose at its regular time. Do not take two doses at the same timeSprycel is a registered trademark of Bris-tol-Myers Squibb Company. Gleevec is a registered trademark of Novartis AG.© 2013 Bristol-Myers Squibb
