BASEBALL '88; The Yankees Can Win if They Don't Self-Destruct
Published: April 3, 1988
(Page 2 of 3)
If anybody could pull off such a stunt, it would be Sparky Anderson, who apparently dazzles the opposition with his often outrageous remarks. He doesn't do a bad job with his lineup maneuvering, either. Jack Morris, the ace pitcher who has remained with him, has suggested that Anderson liked Gibson's departure because it has given him a chance to platoon at another position.
The way Anderson manages, if it seems he has six possible combinations of players for, say, first, third and d.h., he'll concoct a seventh. Which only means that Darrell Evans, Ray Knight, Tom Brookens, Matt Nokes and Dave Bergman, not to mention Larry Herndon and Luis Salazar, could show up in the same lineup somehow, somewhere.
In a move to bolster the defense, Anderson has shifted Chet Lemon to right and put Gary Pettis in center, where he will stay as long as he doesn't strike out once every three times at bat and hit .208, as he did last year when a hand injury hindered him all season.
The Tigers' strength could be their starting pitching (Walt Terrell is expected back soon from an ankle injury to assume his spot in the starting rotation). However, they could use a rejuvenated Willie Hernandez in the bullpen. Baltimore Orioles
When Roland Hemond replaced Hank Peters as general manager, he set out to rebuild the team that had deteriorated so ignominiously since its 1983 World Series championship.
Thus, the team that shows up in Baltimore tomorrow will have a new third baseman (Rick Schu), two new outfielders (Jeff Stone and Joe Orsulak), three new starting pitchers (Mike Morgan, Mark Thurmond and Jose Mesa) and two rookie relievers (Jose Bautista and Oswaldo Peraza) to go with the rookie starter (Mesa). They also have another new reliever, Doug Sisk.
What they could use most dearly is the old Eddie Murray, the one who played in Baltimore happily and showed it with his performance. They also need a complete season from the oft-injured Fred Lynn, who has averaged 124 games a season since the strike season of 1981. Manager Cal Ripken Sr., father of the team's shortstop-second base duo, wanted to move Lynn to right field, but he can't do it until Ken Gerhart is healthy enough to run around in center.
Scott McGregor, once the epitome of the crafty left-hander, could help by relocating his pitches and rediscovering his talent. After a 6.64 earned run average last year, McGregor, 34, has to re-establish himself this year or he will be a retired left-hander. Cleveland Indians
And to think that some people picked the Indians to win last year. The only thing the Indians finished first in was highest earned run average, which at 5.28 was the league's worst in 31 years. And have the Indians shored up their pitching staff? Can Chris Codiroli, Bill Laskey and Dan Schatzeder shore up a pitching staff?
The Indians have made more significant changes in their infield. They acquired Willie Upshaw from Toronto to play first and they moved Julio Franco from short to second, making room for Jay Bell at short. Franco will also be the leadoff hitter, a move that should enable him to run more and increase his total of 32 stolen bases.
Franco, Joe Carter, who will move to center to take the place of the departed Brett Butler, Pat Tabler and Brook Jacoby are productive hitters, but they can't hit enough to overcome the pitching. Cory Snyder, who hit 33 home runs last year, can't hit enough to overcome Roger Clemens, who has struck him out each of the nine times they have faced one another. AMERICAN LEAGUE: WESTERN DIVISION Kansas City Royals
Good pitching, so the age-old thinking goes, is more important than good hitting. The Royals, however, are not one of the most ardent subscribers to that theory. They had one of only two pitching staffs in the league last year with an earned-run average under 4.00, but their hitting, which produced the fewest runs in the league, was the principal reason they finished second.
The Royals thought they had solved their hitting deficiencies last year with the acquisition of Danny Tartabull (.309, 34 h.r., 101 r.b.i.) and they received a bonus in Kevin Seitzer, a rookie, who amassed 207 hits. But another series of injuries limited George Brett to 115 games and a mediocre season, and the Royals go nowhere without Brett.
The key to this season, besides Brett, could be the play of Kurt Stillwell at short and Mike Macfarlane behind the plate. The Royals had a chance to sign Carlton Fisk as a free agent but wouldn't pay him what he wanted so they're going with a rookie catcher.
Belatedly but nevertheless wisely, they re-signed Steve Balboni for run production, and they hope that Bo Jackson will generate more runs and not strike out every 2.5 times at bat. Yet their chances still come down to their pitching, and that means they should have a good chance to win, especially if the relief corps matches the starters' performances. Especially if Dan Quisenberry regains the effectiveness that made him the number one relief pitcher for several years. The newcomer in the rotation is Floyd Bannister, whose 16-11 record in '87 for the White Sox was his best in four years. He replaces Danny Jackson, who went to Cincinnati for Stillwell.

Gardening has many perks besides having a whole selection of food on your patio. Apparently other major seed companies have seen the growth in popularity as they have all seen an increase in sales since the economy started to tank a few years ago.
I’ll be the first to admit that gardening takes time, but any worthwhile investment does to start.
I was just at the store the other day, and tomatoes were going for about $1.50 a pound. Now, that’s not the best price I’ve ever seen, but as someone who has gardened for a long time, that is just crazy. To put it in perspective, a packet of organic seeds from Johnny’s Selected Seeds (my favorite company ever), is $3.45. A packet of seeds generally has about 40 seeds, and each one of those seeds will easily grow pounds and pounds of tomatoes.
Let’s say that you buy about 5 pounds a month of tomatoes for the summer (May – Sept). That comes out to $37.50 for the cost of tomatoes for you for the summer. (plus we’re not even talking about organic tomatoes which is now $2.50/lb.) I know that’s not a huge crazy amount, but that’s only one specific food we’re talking about there.
Not to mention, who wouldn’t want to find ways to save money, bond with their family, and eat healthier?

A two-alarm fire involving chemical tanks Friday morning at a transport company in Union County prompted an evacuation and continued monitoring of air quality in the area, authorities said.
The fire was reported about 9:15 a.m. at Linden Bulk Transportation at 4200 block of Temley Point Road, according to police Lt. Christopher Guenther.
The fire began on a fork-lift truck and spread toward chemical transport tanks stacked nearby, Guenther said.
“Workers from several surrounding buildings left the area due to the heavy smoke conditions before the fire was extinguished less than an hour later,” Guenther said.
Firefighters from Linden and surrounding areas assisted. Union County’s hazmat team also responded and were expected to conduct air monitoring throughout the day as a precaution.
Guenther said there is no hazard to the public.

Recipe for Mint Rasam / Pudina Rasam / Pudina Shorba / Mint and Lentils
If you asked me to list one of my favourite ingredients for summers, I’d say MINT. Its menthol effect and refreshing fragrance makes it an easy pick. When I pluck fresh mint from my kitchen garden and smell my hands, there’s this unmistakable sensation of joy. Mint as a fragrance is such a feel-good one, a reminder of good times from the past and good times to come.
While tomato rasam, lemon rasam and pepper rasam are quite common in South Indian homes, this recipe for mint rasam is a summer experiment in my kitchen. Most Indians will dig into piping hot food, while complaining about the hot weather at the same time! Funny right? Even I am like that 🙂 So this recipe is just perfect for summers, a hot meal of rasam-rice but with the bracing nature of mint.
Call it lentil and mint soup or a mint _rasam or a pudina shorba, t_his dish by any name would be as refreshing. Mint rasam is easy to cook, almost a one-pot cooking, and the pressure cooker speeds things up.
A word about growing mint – The good thing about growing mint is that once it takes off, it really TAKES OFF, and you can be sure to have an endless supply of it. A lot of gardening experts warn us about growing mint in the soil straight and not in a pot, because it can easily take over your ground. But I’ve not faced any such problems. In fact, growing it straight on the ground ensures I have a plentiful supply. I’ve found our desi mint with rounded leaves to have a far superior and stronger flavour that some of the spearmint and other varieties whose seeds I have procured from abroad.
How to prepare dried mint:
RECIPE FOR MINT RASAM / Pudina Shorba / Mint and Lentil Soup
- 1/3 cup Tur Dal
- 2 tbsps onion Sliced
- 1 tomato Medium ripe
- 1 cup Mint leaves packed
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 3/4 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp ghee or oil
- 1 pinch asafoetida
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
- mint leaves fresh
- Wash and soak the tur dal in water for 1 hour.
- Halve and slice the tomato. Finely chop the mint leaves.
- In a pressure cooker, place the tur dal, onion, tomato, mint leaves, red chilli powder, coriander powder, turmeric and salt for 1 whistle and 7-8 mins on sim.
- Open when cool enough. Run this mix in a blender to make a smooth puree and strain.
- In a tempering ladle, heat ghee. Add asafoetida, cumin seeds and mustard seeds. When seeds pop, transfer it over the rasam.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Craft & Sewing Room Furniture & Décor
Tables and Desks
When designing your craft room, a table or desk should be at the top of your list. For artists, a drafting table with an attached swing lamp offers a spacious, well-lit workstation. On the other hand, adjustable desks allow you to change the angle and height of your work surface so that you can sit or stand.
If you want to bring your little one in on the fun, our assortment of tables also features options for a children's craft room. Whimsical sets featuring their favorite TV and movie characters can make craft time even more fun. Practical as well, many kids tables have built-in storage like drawers and cubbies so your pint-sized Picasso can keep their crayons and markers organized.
Cabinets and Storage Bins
Whatever you're working on, you're going to need a place to keep your supplies neat, tidy and close at hand. Browse storage cabinets to stow brushes, ribbons and paints. In your sewing room, store yarn and fabrics in open bins and containers, so you have easy access to your materials.
Chairs and Stools
When you spend hours creating your masterpieces, soft, supportive seating is a must. Equip your craft or sewing room with high-backed chairs with plush cushions so that you stay cozy and relaxed. If your craft-of-choice keeps you moving, consider lightweight stools with rolling castors and swivel bases so you can work efficiently and comfortably.
Every artist needs a proper easel. If you're looking for a sturdy spot to sketch, select a standing metal or wooden model for your craft room.

GEO Blue Planet Kick-off Symposium
A kick-off symposium for the new GEO marine Task SB-01 “Oceans and Society: the Blue Planet” was held in Ilhabela, São Paulo State, Brazil, from November 19 to 21, 2012. The symposium was co-sponsored by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), GEO, INPE and POGO and took place just prior to the GEO-IX Plenary, held in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil (November 22 and 23, 2012).
The objectives of the Blue Planet symposium were to:
- Learn about the various relevant on-going activities;
- Coordinate better the ocean-related tasks within GEO;
- Speak with a collective voice to GEO member nations and participating organisations;
- Raise awareness of societal benefits of ocean observations to the broader community, targeting in particular policy makers and funding agencies;
- Seek new avenues for enhancing implementation of ocean observation systems; and
- Promote capacity building globally, especially in developing countries.
The symposium brought together a total of 68 participants from 24 countries, comprising leaders and representatives of various international organisations and networks (including the new GEO Director, Dr Barbara Ryan), research scientists and postdoctoral and graduate students. The symposium offered the opportunity for participants to become familiar with the full scope of the Blue Planet Task, and helped to develop synergies and to plan future activities. The meeting turned out to be a landmark event in the development of marine work within GEO.

A huge number of homes are set to come to Wirral over the next 15 years.
Wirral Council’s Local Plan, a document detailing how many homes need to be built in the borough over the next 15 years, has been delayed due to factors including the Covid-19 pandemic.
But at tonight’s meeting of the council’s Housing Committee, Alan Evans, the authority’s director of regeneration, was able to confirm that the key number at the heart of the document remained.
Mr Evans said that based on the government’s standard methodology the plan is still to look to develop 12,000 new homes over the next 15 years in the borough.
Before May’s local elections, all parties pledged that houses would only be built on brownfield land and that the greenbelt would be protected.
Several councillors pressed officers on aspects of the Wirral Plan 2021-26, a document which defines the key priorities for the local authority for the next five years.
Reducing inequality across the borough is at the heart of the plan.
Liberal Democrat councillor Allan Brame asked if the council was set to achieve the target for work to begin on 700 homes and for 400 homes to be completed?
Mr Evans said the council was on target to achieve this goal and that Wirral Waters, a project led by Peel L&P which is set to provide 13,500 homes on the former Birkenhead docks over the next 25 years and potentially create up to 20,000 jobs, was a key part of it.
Cllr Ian Lewis, who represents the Conservatives, asked if an item on rough sleeping could be brought to every Housing Committee so that councillors could make sure all available resources were being used to deal with the problem?
He said this would help members to track the council’s progress in dealing with rough sleeping.
There appeared to be broad agreement on this across the council, with Julie McManus, who chairs the committee, signalling that she was in favour of the move.
Cllr Tony Smith, a Labour councillor for Upton, was keen for the committee to look at the impact that the £20 cut to Universal Credit would have on housing, focusing specifically on those forced to rely on temporary accommodation in Wirral.

Australia vs India: "Not Quick Enough Like Dhoni," Matthew Wade To Shikhar Dhawan
During the thrilling second T20 International (T20I) between Australia and India, Australia wicket-keeper and stand-in captain Matthew Wade rued not being as quick as Dhoni, after a close call on an attempted stumping against India opener Shikhar Dhawan. While Dhawan was batting during India's chase of 195 at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday, he missed a cut shot off Mitchell Swepson's bowling. He lost his balance momentarily and seeing his foot off the ground, Wade immediately whipped the bails off.
"Not Dhoni, not quick enough like Dhoni," Wade is heard saying from behind the stumps as Dhawan breaks into a laugh.

The Majestic Elephant in Home Décor and Fashion
The elephant is one of the most revered animals, appearing throughout history and across cultures as a symbol of strength, wisdom, loyalty and good luck. Today, elephant motifs continue to hold meaning and appeal when incorporated into apparel, jewelry, home furnishings and décor.
T-Shirts and tops featuring elephant designs and patterns can represent connection to nature, environmentalism, traveling or world cultures. An elephant t-shirt from a wildlife sanctuary or conservation organization may signify supporting their cause. Baby and kids clothes with cute elephants convey innocence.
For women, elephant jewelry, scarves or handbags may provide a bohemian vibe or world traveler aesthetic. Elephant prints on women’s dresses and tunics can contribute an air of exoticism and be paired with ethnic inspired bangles or hoop earrings. The elephant’s strength translated into female empowerment images and phrases on clothes.
Men’s elephant emblazoned t-shirts, polos and hats often draw on the animal’s size and sturdiness to denote resilience, perseverance and courage. Elephant heads on leather jackets connote ruggedness. Elegant elephant cufflinks and ties lend sophistication for the modern gentleman.
Shoes and Accessories
Elephant motifs on shoes, sandals and sneakers represent moving forward steadily and surely. Elephant leather bags and wallets imply fortune and prosperity. For jewelry, elephant pendants, earrings, bracelets and charms signify memory, intelligence and family bonds. Elephant rings indicate commitment and loyalty in relationships.
For living rooms and dens, elephant throw pillows, blankets and upholstered chairs provide a sense of stability and endurance. Elephant table lamps of carved wood or porcelain lend an air of wisdom and quiet dignity. Framed elephant prints and paintings add exotic flair.
In dining rooms, elephant motifs on dishes, serving trays and coasters speak of community, connection and loyalty. Napkin rings with elephant designs represent the importance of family while adhering to tradition.
For bedrooms, elephant throw rugs, bedding sets and decorative pillows encourage sweet dreams and conjure images of nurturing mothers caring for their young. Elephant stuffed animals and figurines set on shelves watch over kids and adults alike as protective symbols.
In bathrooms, elephant shower curtains, towels, soap dispensers and toothbrush holders bring a sense of safety, cleanliness and hygiene. Displaying elephant figurines like Ganesh on shelves or in cabinets signals beginning each day with intention.
For home offices, elephant bookends hold knowledge while elephant paperweights anchor important documents. Elephant pen holders inspire writing wisdom. Elephant motif checkbook covers and money clips attract good fortune.
In entryways, elephant umbrellas promise shelter in storms while elephant coat racks offer a stronghold for belongings. Elephant welcome mats at front doors greet guests with patience and respect.
For patios and porches, ceramic and wrought iron elephant seating lends endurance for enjoying the outdoors. Elephant garden stakes welcome good luck and prosperity.

Oi, all you wannabe Canadian gods out there, DeNA has soft-launched GodFinger 2 in your App Store.

This is the sequel to the just-above-average 2010 god game GodFinger, obviously. It seems to be more of the same world-creating, follower-obtaining, planet defending stuff.

You choose your elemental affinity - maybe ice or fire - and then watch your planet grow accordingly. Next you'll need to shape your planet and defend it from invaders.

But the meat of the game is in growing and managing your followers.

You can create new types such as barbarians, archers, and pyromancers this time around. You'll still need to ensure they're kept happy, and rewarded for their accomplishments.

We weren't a fan of the first game's rather weak social game aspirations. It wanted you to tell your friends on in the game and social media what you were doing - it was all that kind of thing.

It's in how you're able to interact with other people that GodFinger 2 seems to have potentially improved the most.

Now you're able to take your followers to other people's worlds, battle their followers, and steal their resources. You're able to essentially conquer other players this way.

It certainly makes the game a little more competitive and interesting, if less friendly.

You can download GodFinger 2 on the Canadian App Store right now.

If you're not in Canada you can create a Canadian iTunes account to get it. Otherwise you'll have to wait until the game's global release.

After completing swords, magical powers, and the orbs, we finally have the defensive material that you’re going to love within the game – Armors! These Armors are the protective stuff that will defend you from the enemies’ swords and their poison stings. In simple words, If You’re decreasing a single heart on the damage with the sword, You’ll only get half heart damage after wearing the Armor.Ay me, I fell, and yet do question make

Kim S. Falck-Jørgensen,
The story-telling & direction was HORRIBLE in this film. Pieces of the entire plot are fed to us in so many kibbles that the movie ends up a huge MESS. The director and writer attempted to use the element of surprise to make the film more jaw dropping by throwing in scenes to throw us off, such as the constant presence of this female inn keeper and finding a female officer's photo crumpled up & stashed under water. Than KK catching up to Peter in the forest and Peter mirroring his hand motions as if to say it's actually KK seeing himself. Because a number of scenes and ppl were totally irrelevant & unnecessary, instead of serving it's purpose, it made the film even more chaotic. It was all over the place. Just a big mess! The entire backdrop was of dark dense colorless woods through most all the film, and an old huge deteriorating "filthy" home that should have been less filth & more spook. Even worse, 75% of the film was filmed in this mess of a house. Unlike other foreign films, or another Norwegian film which showed beautiful landscape or country sides of their homeland, this film did not as some claim in their reviews here. I have the DVD on my PC right now and just glanced back through it. The reviews are completely dishonest so I assume were made by those affiliated w/ the film. The purpose of piles of ugly hand stitched dolls is never explained, which we assume would serve a reasonable purpose considering the film & camera also revolved around the quantity while keeping the dolls in almost every scene. I gave it a 2 for good acting by the lead actors and that is the lowest I ever gave any film in my IMDb career. So that should explain anything I left out.

As airplanes and engines attain age, there appears to be a need to reemphasize the inspection or replacement of engine hoses or lines carrying fuel, oil, or hydraulic fluid. The hose manufacturers definitely recommend regular inspection and replacement of all such hoses at engine overhaul even though they look good.
Age limit of rubber-steel or fiber banded hose has generally been established at four years. This limit of four years is generally considered to be "shelf" life. All hose manufactured for aircraft use is marked indicating the quarter year in which it was manufactured. The listing "4Q92" means the hose was manufactured in the fourth quarter of 1992. Maintenance personnel should not use hoses with a high "shelf" life age.
To eliminate relatively short "shelf" life limits, Textron Lycoming has phased in Teflon hoses with silicone coated fire sleeves. These are the only hoses which are available for field replacement, and they will be found on engines shipped from the factory
Service Instruction No. 1274 lists the fuel and oil hoses used by Textron Lycoming. It also explains how the numbering system defines hose size. This instruction should be used as a reference anytime hoses are to be replaced.
Textron Lycoming Service Bulletin No. 509 must also be complied with if rubber hose is used to carry low-lead aviation gasoline. Aeroquip, the manufacturer of hose used by Textron Lycoming, has recorded several failures of 601-type rubber hose. Although it is satisfactory for other purposes, this hose appears to be adversely affected by low-lead aviation gasoline. 601-type rubber hose used for low-lead aviation gasoline is to be replaced after no more than two years of use. Aeroquip and Textron Lycoming recommend that rubber hose be replaced with Teflon hose. Teflon hose is normally unaffected by many of the operating variables that contribute to rubber hose degradation.

My Comments: They’ve been around for some time now, but because they cause you to use after-tax money, there’s always been a cloud around them. That’s a shame since they make sense when it comes to tactically allocating your retirement income among different sources and types of accounts.
That retirement, assuming you live a normal life, could last many, many years. During each of those years there are going to be unexpected events, some of which can be disruptive. Right now we’re in the middle of a massive health crisis that no one expected four months ago. We’ve long ago learned that S**T happens from time to time and there’s no reason to think we’ll be dead before the next one.
Meanwhile, back to the Roth IRA idea. There are some rules about them that we all need to understand. It can be a great long term investment if you manage it the right way. If you’re still looking at a few years between now and your retirement, here’s a useful summary about Roth IRAs you should read.
By Jeff Rose \ 8 MAR 2020 \ https://tinyurl.com/qvorakk
Whether you’re contemplating opening a Roth IRA, or you already have one in place, there are five things you need to know to make the account work for you the way it should.
1. How Much Can You Put into a Roth IRA?
For 2020, the maximum contribution to a Roth IRA is $6,000 per year. But if you’re 50 or older, that increases to $7,000 per year.
There is a bit of a catch with that contribution. It’s only available to those who have earned income. That includes income from salaries, wages, commissions, bonuses, self-employment, freelance and contract work. For example, if you have $20,000 in earned income, you can make the full contribution allowed. But if you only earn $4,000, that will be your maximum contribution.
The $6,000/$7,000 contribution has another limit – that’s the most you can contribute to one or a combination of IRA accounts. That includes both Roth IRAs and traditional IRAs.
It means if you contribute the full $6,000 to a Roth IRA with one broker, you cannot make contributions to a second. By contrast, you can split your contribution between two brokers, with $3,000 going into each account.
2. Set Up Roth IRA Accounts for Your Spouse and Kids
Most people are unaware that you can have a Roth IRA account for anyone and everyone in your family who has earned income.
In fact, there’s even an exception for your spouse. Under a spousal IRA, you can make a contribution of up to $6,000 (or $7,000 if 50 or older) even if your spouse has no earned income. Under this special type of IRA, you can make a contribution to Roth or traditional IRA accounts for both you and your spouse, as long as you have sufficient earned income to support both contributions.
For example, if you make $100,000 per year and your spouse does not have earned income, you can make a contribution of $6,000 to a Roth IRA account for both you and your spouse, for a total of $12,000.
By contrast, if you only earn $10,000, that will be the maximum contribution you can make to the two accounts combined.
To qualify for the spousal IRA, your partner must be your spouse. It can’t be a girlfriend, boyfriend or fiancé.
But it doesn’t stop with your spouse. If any of your children have earned income, you can open a custodial Roth IRA for that child. The contributions will be eligible if your child has a part-time job, or earns money from babysitting, lawn cutting, or similar activities.
One limitation however is that if the income received is not reported to the IRS, it won’t qualify for contributions. Contributions are based on income declared on your income tax return.
I’m doing this with my own children. Since I have a business, I have my kids work for me, for which I pay them. I then make a contribution to each child’s custodial Roth IRA up to the amount of income they earn. It’s a way of creating a portfolio of tax-free money for their futures.
3. Getting Phased Out
The IRS puts an income ceiling on your ability to contribute to a Roth IRA. If you earn in excess of that ceiling, you won’t be able to contribute to a Roth IRA.
This is very different than traditional IRAs, where the contribution is no longer tax-deductible if you’re covered by an employer-sponsored retirement plan and your income exceeds a certain level. In that case, you can still make a contribution to a traditional IRA – it just won’t be tax-deductible.
That’s not the case with the Roth IRA. If you exceed the income thresholds set by the IRS, you won’t be able to make a Roth IRA contribution, period.
The current income limits beyond which you can no longer make a Roth IRA contribution are as follows:
- Single, full contribution up to $124,000, partial contribution up to $139,000, after which no contribution is allowed
- Married filing jointly, full contribution of two $196,000, partial contribution up to $206,000, after which no contribution is allowed
But there are a couple of workarounds. For qualification purposes, your income for the Roth IRA is based on what’s known as modified adjusted gross income, or MAGI.
One of the modifications to MAGI are tax-deductible 401(k) contributions. If you’re making contributions to an employer-sponsored plan, which are tax-deductible, they’ll also reduce your MAGI. It’s possible those contributions will reduce your income sufficiently to qualify you to make Roth IRA contributions.
To give an example, if you’re a single person making $139,000 per year – which would disqualify you from making a Roth IRA contribution – but you contribute $19,500 to your company-sponsored 401(k) plan, your MAGI will drop to $119,500. You’ll be allowed to make at least a partial Roth IRA contribution.
There’s also a second workaround, but it’s a bit more complicated.
The “Backdoor” Roth IRA
This kind of Roth IRA contribution is referred to as backdoor because it starts out as a contribution to a traditional IRA.
As I wrote earlier, there’s no income limitation on making a contribution to a traditional IRA. The only limit applies to the tax deductibility of the contribution if you’re covered by an employer plan and your income exceeds a certain limit.
But the basic idea of a backdoor Roth IRA is that you make a full contribution to a traditional IRA. The contribution is made on a non-tax-deductible basis. That’s really the key to the whole strategy.
Since you can convert a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA at any time, you can contribute to the traditional account, then do an immediate conversion to the Roth IRA.
Now any time you do what’s known as a Roth IRA conversion – which is the term for converting a traditional IRA or other tax-deductible retirement plan to a Roth IRA – you have to pay tax on the amount of the converted balance.
However, in the case of a backdoor Roth IRA, you won’t pay tax on the conversion from your traditional IRA contribution to your Roth IRA plan. That’s because the traditional IRA contribution was never tax-deductible in the first place. Since there’s no tax benefit when the contribution was made, there’s no tax liability when it’s converted to a Roth IRA.
4. Roth IRA Contributions
Remember how I said contributions to a Roth IRA are not tax-deductible? That comes with its own benefit.
Since the contributions are not tax-deductible, they can be withdrawn at any time free from both ordinary income tax and the 10% early withdrawal penalty that typically applies when you withdraw funds from retirement account before turning 59 ½.
Now the income you earn from investments on your Roth account is treated like withdrawals from any other retirement plan. If any of that money is withdrawn before turning 59 ½, you’ll be subject to both ordinary income tax and the penalty.
But under IRS ordering rules, you can withdraw your contributions from a Roth IRA before your accumulated investment earnings.
Unlike other retirement plans, where you must tie-up your money for decades, or face taxes and penalties, the Roth IRA allows you to access your contributions at any time.
There’s one limitation you should be aware of when it comes to early withdrawals. If the value of your Roth IRA falls below your total contributions, you’ll be limited to withdrawing the net value of the account – not the amount of your original contributions.
5. How Do You Invest in a Roth IRA?
One of the biggest mistakes people make with the Roth IRA is holding it with banks or credit unions. If you do, your money will be held in low-yielding investments, like certificates of deposit and money market accounts. Those don’t pay any more than 1% or 2% per year. They’re not the kinds of investments that will cause your Roth IRA to grow the way it should.
A Roth IRA is a retirement account, which means you need to invest with the long-term in mind. And since you probably have decades to invest, you’ll need to add high risk/high reward investments to the mix. That includes stocks, mutual funds, exchange traded funds, real estate investment trusts, and similar investment vehicles. To do that, you’ll have to move your plan to the right investment account.
You’ll need investments designed to generate long-term growth. For example, the average annual return on stocks has been 10% going all the way back to the 1970s. If the majority of your Roth IRA is invested in stocks, your account will grow quickly, and produce a healthy retirement nest egg by the time you’re ready to begin making withdrawals.
The Roth IRA is one of the greatest investment vehicles ever designed. If you don’t have it in your financial toolbox you need to add it. Just make sure you fund it regularly, and invest it aggressively to get the best results.

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has claimed he would be worth £170m ($216m) in today's transfer market.
Ferdinand was asked about his potential value in today's market and claims it would take a world-record fee for a defender to buy him. Indeed, only Neymar has commanded a greater fee, as he moved to Paris Saint-Germain for £198m ($251m) in 2017. The nearest player to Ferdinand's valuation is Kylian Mbappe, who moved to PSG for £163m ($207m).
Speaking on his Vibe with Five YouTube channel, after co-host Stephen Howson said Ferdinand would be "£100m plus now with inflation", the former United centre-back said: "I was £30m back in the day.
"£100m will be cheap mate. Serious, in today's market... £170m... 400k-a-week. That's what I'll be now. I would be that now."
Ferdinand twice became the world's most expensive defender during his career, and he also won almost everything there was to win at United. He lifted the Premier League six times and the League Cup twice, while also becoming a Champions League and Club World Cup winner.
? It remains to be seen if any player will move for such a fee this summer, although Mbappe has been linked with a €200m (£171m/$216m) move to Real Madrid.

During last night's debate, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump once again denied that Russia is responsible for hacking Democratic communications, but according to the Dallas Morning News, Trump's own advisers told him Russia is responsible during debate prep.
Trump's stance was particularly inexplicable because in a debate prep session Monday, one of his own national security advisers, House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, told Trump that in his judgment — and that of the U.S. intelligence community — the hacks were directed by Russia.
"I have personally briefed him on that and told him that in my opinion ... this was in fact a nation-state attack by Russia," McCaul said Wednesday.
McCaul is both a Republican and the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee. If Trump won't listen to him, who will he listen to?
It's fairly clear Trump only listens to the Kremlin.
It an open question to what extent Trump personally identifies with Vladimir Putin's worldview and to what extent Trump simply wants the Wikileaks releases to continue. I suspect its a bit of both.
If Trump openly admitted that Russia is responsible for the hacks, or openly criticized Russia, the releases may not continue and, at the very least, their political usefulness would evaporate.
With that said, I believe their usefulness has already evaporated, mostly because they haven't revealed anything substantively wrong. On the contrary, the release of her Wall Street speech transcripts revealed that she went to Wall Street and called for progressive policy reform.

As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News offers the following information published by WASHINGTONEXAMINER.COM:
Nearly 200 black, female leaders are demanding an apology from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., over their “failure” to defend Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., from “unwarranted attacks” by President Trump and his Republican allies.
“We write to share our profound indignation and deep disappointment over your recent failure to protect Congresswoman Waters from unwarranted attacks from the Trump Administration and others in the GOP,” the group wrote in a letter sent Tuesday, according to ABC News. “That failure was further compounded by your decision to unfairly deride her as being ‘uncivil’ and ‘un-American.’”
The article goes on to state the following:
The group, which includes activists, religious leaders, academics, local elected officials, and some men, said their failure to support Waters amid her controversial comments is an “affront to her and Black women across the country.”

My sailboat was designed in 1966 by John H. Illingworth, a very famous english architect and racer. It's named "the father of modern sailboat". Illingworth designed for Alpa company both the A9 (9 metre) the A11 (11 metres) and A8. The A11 is based upon the famous Maica, wich in the '60 won several regattas in Englend and France (in France there's a class website www.maica.fr
with beaufiful photo.
The sailboat is one of the first attempt to build in fibreglass, so very heavy, with a long keel and an attached rudder. The alpa A9 lines resembles in small, the Gipsy Moth one, as they came from the same pencil.
I own one since 15 years, have made several cruise in the Med (I use to live in Rome) and, apart from the doghouse, I like it very much.
Like all Illingworth sailboat, it's really a joy to sail.
Regarding the propeller, it's just te old way...forget the reverse...
Grazie mille (thank you a lot!).

Pound each chicken breast half with flat side of meat mallet to 1/4" thick. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over chicken pieces.
- When the butter mixture is ready, nestle the spoonful onto one end of the chicken breast, roll up and secure with toothpicks. Try fold the outer edges of the chicken up in the best you can to prevent leaking. Dredge the rolled chicken pieces in flour. (Make sure you get the ends of the chicken rolls in the flour as well to again help with that leakage problem!)
