THE CAPITAL-JOURNAL The first concerned calls and emails began arriving around 7:45 a.m. Tuesday. To a person, none of Beth Fager's friends and colleagues inquiring about her welfare really thought she had been robbed at gunpoint of all her cash and credit cards, or that she needed financial help to pay a hotel bill in Madrid. At the same time, though, everyone wanted Fager to know her Yahoo email account had been hacked and her name was being used in an obvious scam. Fager, well-known in Topeka for her civic efforts in helping turn the deteriorating Municipal Auditorium into the Topeka Performing Arts Center, and most recently for her work in restoring the historic Great Overland Station, spent most of what should have been a pleasant vacation day in New Orleans working to secure her hacked email account, as well as assuring well-wishers that she was fine, despite the email to the contrary that carried her name. "Actually, a lot of it was quite heart-warming," she said of the expressions of concern. "No one I talked with fell for the scam, and I'm hoping that no one who got the email thought it was true. Still, people were concerned about what was happening. "The nice thing was, I heard from people I hadn't visited with in a long time." The email sent from Fager's Yahoo account, however, painted anything but a happy picture. Her hacker, posing as Fager, said she was writing "with tears in my eyes" after being robbed of everything during an unannounced trip to Spain. Unable to secure help from the Madrid police and American Embassy, the faux Fager needed financial help paying hotel bills and needed a quick loan that would be repaid upon returning home. Such a tale of financial woe had to have come as unexpected news to Duane Fager, Beth's husband and president of CoreFirst Bank and Trust who was with his wife in New Orleans. Contacted by The Topeka Capital-Journal upon receiving the hoax email, Beth Fager was initially hesitant to discuss what she cons

This is only good for those who are well-versed with the industry because the rest will be practically fodder.

BP Holdings The following items are meant to provide BP Holdings Tax Management suggestions for your consideration. It should not be construed as tax advice. If you believe any of the strategies would be appropriate for your situation, seek the advice of your professional tax accountant or financial planner. Saving Plan Contribution 1.Check Contribution to Employer Retirement Savings Plan. The maximum contribution levels have increased for year 2006 for 401(k) and 403(b) plans. The maximum for year 2006 is $15,000. If you are over 50 years of age, you are eligible to save an additional $5,000 as the "catch up", or a total of $20,000. If you maintained the same dollar amount contribution from your paycheck that you used last year, then you will not be contributing the maximum. Check your paycheck record and determine the total amount that will be contributed this year. If less than the maximum, increase your contribution level for the remainder of the year. *Impact: Pre-tax contributions will reduce your taxable income and, therefore, the income tax that will be due. Less tax withholding will be required from your pay. 2.Establish a Self-Employed Retirement Plan. If you have self-employed income, you must establish your retirement savings plan prior to year-end, with the exception of the Simplified Employer Plan which can be established as late as April 15, 2007. The benefit of establishing a Keogh Plan, Simple 401(k), or Solo 401(k) is a higher contribution amount. The plan must be established by year-end, but you do not have to fund it until after year-end. It is possible for an individual to participate in a 401(k) or 403(b) plan with their employer as well as contribute to a self-employed plan. For example, a teacher who works as a self-employed landscaper in the summer can contribute to a self-employed plan as well as their school's 403(b) plan. Likewise, the CEO of a corporation who is also a director for the board of another company can participate in

Ei! Incredibly good blog!

international bp spain holdings news, article code 85258080768 CH The food industry is anything but shaky around the world these days, from meat glue to horse meat in "beef" burgers. Who are we to trust? The latest scandal is fake olive found in Israel, including organic varieties. Watch out for it anywhere. We sum up where to buy, and what to avoid. Some varieties sold are not made for human consumption An Israeli watchdog TV show is good at uncovering scandals. They've found toxins in ceramic coated cookware, and slaughterhouse cruelty. Now, Kolbotek a consumer watchdog TV show found on Channel 10 began its 2013 season with a bang by revealing some unpleasant findings about olive oil being manufactured in Israel. Some of the olive oil being sold on the Israeli market is unfit for human consumption. We can assume the issue is more or less the same in other Middle East countries where testing standards are less developed. American sources have suggested that about 70 percent of virgin olive oil is a fake. The program covered various types and grades of olive oil including that being marketed by companies that virgin and extra virgin olive oil, including organic varieties. Kolbotek sent 15 olive oil samples for testing at a special laboratory, Kemi Service, that included 9 bottles of oil from one company EVO Israel Ltd. EVO distributes its products to well known natural and whole foods stores in Israel. The company was reported to have imported more than 44 tons of olive oil from Spain, which is one of the world's largest olive oil exporters. September 2012, a company working with EVO and located in the northern Galilee town of Rosh Pina, Chosen Galil Industries, was found to have larges amounts of this oil that was not for human consumption after lab reports came in. Although in Hebrew, this link of the Kolbotek program is none-the-less revealing enough: When asked what they thought about these events, Yigal Friedman, a food quality engineer for the M

BP today announced it has once again confirmed the integrity of the Macondo well and its associated relief wells following a recent subsea survey to identify potential sources of a surface sheen near the Deepwater Horizon accident site in the Gulf of Mexico. The latest survey marks the fourth time since the Macondo well was permanently sealed in September 2010 that it has been visually inspected by remotely operated vehicles (ROV) at the sea floor and confirmed not to be leaking. Under a plan approved by the Coast Guard, BP and Transocean deployed ROVs early last week to determine whether there is residual oil still trapped under wreckage on the sea floor that may be escaping and causing the sheen on the water's surface. The Coast Guard has said the sheen is not recoverable and poses no risk to the shoreline. The four-day survey was conducted jointly by BP and Transocean, owner of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, with Coast Guard oversight. It was performed in the presence of the Federal On-Scene Coordinator (FOSC) for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, as well as representatives from the Interior Department's Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and State On-Scene Coordinators from Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida. During the survey, the ROVs inspected the drilling rig, portions of the riser that once connected the rig to the sea floor and BP's cofferdam, an 86-ton, steel container that was lowered over a leaking drill pipe during the Deepwater Horizon response in 2010 in an attempt to capture the oil and siphon it to the surface. The cofferdam, which was not part of the operation to seal the well itself, now sits abandoned on the sea floor, roughly 1500 feet from the Macondo well. While the survey was focused on finding still-trapped oil in the wreckage, it also looked at the Macondo well head and the well heads of its two associated relief wells to confirm integrity. No conclusive eviden
