• The youngest man elected president was John Kennedy who was 43. Most Americans are aware of that news but did you know that Theodore Roosevelt was actually younger, 42, when he was elevated to president from vice president? He filled the position when William McKinley was assassinated. • The oldest president elected was Ronald Reagan who was 69. Reagan and Gerald Ford were the two presidents who lived the longest after serving, both living to age 93.

• His size was not the most unusual thing or memorable trivia about William Howard Taft, it was his activity after he was president. He served as a Professor of Law at Yale until President Warren G. Harding selected him to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court eight years after his service as president, in 1923. In 1925, Calvin Coolidge was the first and only president to be sworn in by a former president.

• When the government for the United States of America was first formed, there were no political parties. George Washington served as president with no political party affiliation. • The first political parties for the U.S. started in the late 1700s. On February 12, 1798, Thomas Jefferson wrote: “Two political sects have arisen within the U.S., the one believing that the executive is the branch of our government which the most needs support; the other that like the analogous branch in the English government, it is already too strong for the republican parts of the Constitution.” The former were called federalists, sometimes monocrats and sometimes aristocrats, sometimes tories like the corresponding group in the English government. The latter were called republicans, whigs, anarchists, jacobins, and someContinued on page 7

Dr. James Olson - The Meow Doc

Probiotics – The Good Bacteria The term: microbiota defines all the microorganisms that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract (GI). Cats have a large number of bacteria normally in the small intestine (400 strains) and a much greater number in the large intestine (2,000+ strains). Newborns start out with a sterile gut and quickly are exposed to bacteria from their moms and the environment that make up their GI flora. There is a dynamic interplay throughout a cat’s life between the good and bad bacteria and how the body regulates internal health. A balanced GI culture provides nutrients, stimulates the immune system and enhances the cat’s defenses to respond to intestinal pathogens. Many common triggers can cause diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and discomfort, including stress, not eating regularly, use of antibiotics and eating spoiled food. Acquired and genetically predisposed diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease are common and linked to diet and the imbalance in the GI bacteria. Probiotics or ‘active culture bacteria’ when supplemented to the diet can help normalize the GI tract. Competitive exclusion of bad bacteria (population dynamics) can shift an unhealthy bacterial mix to a healthy mix. Good bacteria decrease bacterial toxins and decrease the numbers of bad bacteria. Adding good bacteria prevents and treats GI infections and chronic disease without adding drugs. Stimulation of the immune system tends to keep the body healthy. Probiotics have been shown to help fight disease by making the body defenses stronger. Treating diarrhea to ocular herpes virus in the cat works better when active culture bacteria are administered. Good bacteria produce vitamins, inactivate poisons and protect the body by adding another barrier layer to keep bad bacteria out. The beneficial effect of probiotics is bacterial strain specific. Out of 1,500 active culture bacteria tested, only eight were found beneficial in the cat. The probiotics with a greater number of good strains appears to have a better effect on the patient’s health. Probiotics need to be safe, be able to survive passage through the GI tract, must be able to colonize in the GI tract, must be stable in manufacture/storage and the product must improve the patient’s health. A few feline specific products currently fit this criteria, many are not effective but have good marketing. Talk to your veterinarian about probiotic therapy. Dr. James K. Olson is "The Meow Doc", a nationally recognized veterinarian specializing exclusively in cats. Dr. Olson holds the title of Diplomate, Feline Specialty, from the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners. He is certified to practice nuclear medicine by the State of Colorado Department of Radiaton Safety. His practice is located in Castle Rock, Colorado.

Why Bring Your Cat to Cat Specialist? We’re a full service CATS ONLY clinic with a big difference: We feature the only practicing Board Certified feline specialist in Colorado, and a highly specialized staff to back him up. We’ve Got “Cat-itude” – Our veterinary nurses know and respect cats. We don’t deal with any other species! We’re able to handle nearly every cat in a quiet, calm manner – even if the cat is scared or angry.

Scott McQueen Kunzite is a very young gemstone. In 1902 New York jeweler and gemstone specialist George Frederick Kunz (1856 – 1932) became the first person to provide a complete description of this stone, which had just been discovered in California. Tradition holds that any newly discovered gemstone is to be given the name of their discoverer or patron, hence the exotic sounding name, 'kunzite'. The allure of this gemstone is seen in its clarity and fine delicate pink nuances and a frequent touch of violet. These delicate, tender hues express a femininity and seductiveness that makes them popular for jewelry. Most kunzites show a light color and robust colored kunzite is rare and very valuable. Mr. Kunz discovered a pale pink kunzite in the Pala District of San Diego County in California. Today, the prism-shaped crystals with their typical vertical striations are mainly found in Afghanistan, Madagascar, Brazil and the USA. The crystals, or fragments of crystals, often badly eaten away, can attain sizes of up to several kilograms.

A: Sure can! Your request comes at the perfect time, as we move into November and cold weather sets in for most of the country. Here are step-by-step instructions for lighting a fire safely and successfully. If you own a gas-lit fireplace, skip Steps 3 and 5. 1. Open the damper and visually inspect the firebox and flue to ensure that they are clear. 2. Stack firewood in the center of the fireplace, being careful not to place the logs too close together. The wood stack should take up no more than one-third of the space in the fireplace. 3. Place loosely rolled newspaper in the gaps created by the wood stack, on all three sides. (Use newspaper only -avoid magazines or color inserts.) 4. Preheat the flue. Carefully light a rolled piece of newspaper and hold the paper about 2 inches inside the flue. Move the paper in slow circles for 10 to 30 seconds. This will encourage warm air to flow up and out the chimney. 5. Light the newspaper between the logs, on all three sides. A good-size flame should leap up shortly, but will die down as the last of the paper burns. Look for smaller flames flickering along the bottom of the logs; this shows that the wood has caught, and that a nice, small- to medium-size fire will build in a few minutes. 6. Add wood to the fire one piece at a time. To maintain the fire’s size, add one new log for each log that burns away. To increase its size, add one log every five minutes or so to a steady fire, and note the amount of flames and heat after each addition. The most complicated part of fire-building, for new users, is finding the right amount of kindling to get a steady fire going. Dry twigs and wood chips can be added to newspaper; leaves don’t burn as well and are better left on the mulch pile. Use a combination of woods for the best results: oak burns slowly and cleanly, while pine ignites more easily and burns hotter, but is consumed quickly. Enjoy your new fireplace, with a dose of common sense: Don’t burn trash in it, keep the gate closed and have the fireplace and chimney cleaned once a year.

POLITICS (continued): times disorganizers. • When the U.S. Constitution was written, there was no mention of political parties. Most of the framers of the document hoped that no political parties would form. They hoped the new country would be such that everyone would just “get along!” (agree!) • The current two party system, with Democrats and Republicans, has been part of the political system in the U.S. for years. The first party was originally formed from many of the advisers that George Washington consulted with. Oddly the first political party, started in 1792, was called the DemocraticRepublican Party. • Many changes have happened with the political parties through the years. Smaller parties have tried to gain power but have never been very successful. The Republicans and Democrats are still the main newsmakers. • Canada has also been a country dominated by two political parties, today the Liberal and Conservative parties. An interesting time in Canadian history was when there were seven distinct political parties in the legislature in 1854. • The Canadian parties at the time were four groups from Northern Canada: 1) the Tories, 2) moderate Conservatives, led by the first Prime Minister of Canada, John A. Macdonald, known as “Sir John A.,” 3) Baldwin Reformers, who were moderate Liberals, 4) and the Radical or advanced Liberal party, known as the “Clear Grits.” The other three parties were from Lower Canada. They were: 1) Parti Bleu, the majority of the French Canadians, considered a liberal party even though most French Canadians were conservative, 2) the Parti Rouge, which was a small party of French Canadian Liberals, some who were rather radical, and lastly, 3) an English-speaking minority in Lower Canada. • People all over the world get fed up with politics. At a parliamentary election in Naples, Italy in 2008, a 41-year-old man ate his ballot in protest to the country’s politicians! He was charged with destroying election materials. • In 2004, a woman in England was fined for trying to register her cows, Henry and Sophie Bull and her dog, Jake Woofies, as voters. Her barn was listed as a separate property and when forms asked who the residents of the property were, she listed the animals! • For a last Tidbit on elections, imagine the confusion if our North American countries had the diversity of over 1,000 political parties! According to the Election Commission of India, that is the estimate of parties that exist in India. The commission has a list of symbols that political parties can use to represent their groups, including a kite, diesel pump, kettle, pressure cooker and many others. As you vote, be glad that we do have elections and that our ballots don’t contain pressure cooker and kite parties!

Still Time to Set Up Owner-only 401(k) for 2012

For Advertising Call Tim (303)994-9683

If you’re a smallbusiness owner, with no full-time employees (except possibly your spouse or business partner), you’re probably used to taking care of just about everything on your own. So, if you’re thinking of establishing a retirement plan — and you should — you might also be attracted to “going solo” with an “Owneronly” 401(k).

Cindy Rose

An Owner-only 401(k), sometimes known as an Individual 401(k), has been around for a few years now, and has proven quite popular — and with good reason. This plan is easy to establish, easy to administer and, most importantly, gives you many of the same benefits enjoyed by employees of a company that offers a traditional 401(k) plan. These benefits include the following: Tax deferred earnings — Your earnings aren’t taxed as they accumulate. Tax deductible contributions — An Owner-only 401(k) consists of two components — salary deferral and profit sharing contributions, both of which are generally 100 percent tax deductible. If you choose to make Roth salary deferrals to your Owner-only 401(k), your contributions aren’t deductible, but you won't pay taxes on your earnings, provided you don’t take withdrawals until you’re 59-1/2 and it's been five years since your first year of Roth deferral. Variety of investment choices — You can choose to fund your Owner-only 401(k) with a wide range of investments. And you can construct an investment mix that’s appropriate for your risk tolerance and long-term goals.

All Priefert up to 30% OFF on in-stock items ONLY! All fencing supplies are up to 15% OFF in-stock items ONLY!!! While supplies last. HURRY ENDS SOON!

Furthermore, an Owner-only 401(k) can potentially allow you to make greater contributions, at an identical income level, than other small-business retirement plans, such as a SEP IRA. In 2012, you can defer up to $17,000, or $22,500 if you’re 50 or older (as long as you don’t exceed 100 percent of your income). Then, in addition, you can make a profit-sharing contribution Education equal to 25 percent of your income (slightly less if you THE OCEAN Corp. 10840 are unincorporated). So, by combining the salary deferRockley Road, Houston, ral and profit-sharing components, you can potentially Texas 77099 Train for a new contribute up to $50,000 to your Owner-only 401(k) Career. *Underwater Welder. in 2012, or $55,000 if you’re 50 or older.

Under Colorado law, certain protections are afforded for items such as homestead equity, motor vehicles, household goods, clothing, and retirement accounts. Bankruptcy is intended to afford a fresh start to filers, but is not intended to strip them of necessary items. Many people who file for Chapter 7 do not lose any property. The repayment plan of Chapter 13 allows the filer to keepitems that may not be protected in a Chapter 7 liquidation. Instead of having the property liquidated, the value of the nonprotected property is paid back through a structured repayment plan. The Chapter 13 Trustee distributes the payments to creditors.

Cindy Rose

FORUM QUESTION: Do I have to include my doctor's bill, car loan, and personal family loan in bankruptcy? ANSWER- Yes. You mustlist all financial obligations that you owe on the date you file for bankruptcy. Options exist that allow a filer to keep financed items (such as a vehicle) after bankruptcy. ***If you have general questions about bankruptcy, email them to april@nortonlawpc.com .

¥ On Nov. 24, 1849, John Froelich, the inventor of the first internal-combustion tractor, is born in Girard, Iowa. Froelich and investors formed the Waterloo Gasoline Traction Engine Company. The Waterloo Tractor Works, owned by John Deere since 1918, remains one of the largest tractor factories in the United States. ¥ On Nov. 22, 1900, the first car to be produced under the Mercedes name is taken for its inaugural drive in Cannstatt, Germany. The car was specially built for Emil Jellinek, a fan of fast, flashy cars. He bought 36 of them. In exchange, the company agreed to name the car after Jellinek’s 11-year-old daughter, Mercedes. ¥ On Nov. 19, 1915, British airman Richard Bell Davies performs a daring rescue, swooping down in his plane to whisk a downed fellow pilot from behind the Turkish lines. The British government awarded him the Victoria Cross. ¥ On Nov. 21, 1934, teenager Ella Fitzgerald wins Amateur Night at Harlem’s Apollo Theater. Putting her name in the hat on a bet, she’d originally planned a dance number. History was made when she changed her mind and sang “The Object of My Affection.” ¥ On Nov. 20, 1945, a series of trials of accused Nazi war criminals, conducted by a U.S., French and Soviet military tribunal based in Nuremberg, Germany, begins. Twenty-four former Nazi officials were tried, and half would be sentenced to death by hanging. ¥ On Nov. 23, 1959, Robert Stroud, the famous “Birdman of Alcatraz,” is released from solitary confinement for the first time since 1916. For 15 years, Stroud lived among canaries brought to him by visitors, and he became an expert in birds and ornithological diseases. In 1943, Stroud’s Digest of the Diseases of Birds, a 500page text that included his own illustrations, was published to general acclaim. ¥ On Nov. 25, 1963, President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated three days earlier, is buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery. An eternal flame was lit by his widow to forever mark the grave.

THOSE FARMERS...

An old farmer got pulled over by a young state trooper for speeding. The trooper, fresh on the job, decided to throw his weight around and started lecturing the farmer about his speed. He did his best to make the farmer feel uncomfortable but eventually got around to writing the ticket. As he wrote, he had to swat at several flies that were buzzing around his head. "Having some problems with circle flies there, are ya?" asked the farmer. ... The trooper stopped writing the ticket and looked up. "Well yeah, if that's what they are," he said. "I never heard of circle flies, though." "Oh, they're pretty common on farms," said the farmer. "We call 'em circle flies because they're always circling around the back end of a horse." "I see," said the trooper as he continued writing the ticket. All of a sudden, he stopped and looked up at the farmer. "Hey...wait a minute, are you trying to call me a horse's ass?" "Oh no, officer," replied the farmer. "I have far too much respect for law enforcement and police officers to even think about calling you a horse's ass." "Well, that's a good thing," said the trooper as he resumed writing the ticket. After a long pause, the farmer continued. "Hard to fool them flies, though." HELP DESK
