Cast wide net to maximize deductions for medical care
WASHINGTON -- What do doctors' visits, Navajo healing ceremonies and clarinet lessons have in common? All can qualify, under the right circumstances, as tax-deductible medical expenses. It's not that easy to take the deduction -- medical expenses must exceed 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income before they can be deducted. But taxpayers can cast a wide net to reach that threshold, so it may be easier than you think. Costs for elastic hosiery, seeing-eye dogs, stop-smoking and weight-loss programs, lead paint removal, special mattresses for relief of arthritis or spine problems, reclining chairs prescribed by a doctor -- all have been permitted by either the Internal Revenue Service or the U.S. Tax Court, where tax disputes are heard. "If it was prescribed for a medical purpose or to alleviate a condition, you have a good chance of getting it through," said Donna LeValley, a tax lawyer and contributing editor of the J.K.

As you've seen in the photos the rear portion with the vent holes is the same height as the screen (when closed), the rear portion didn't actually have to be that high, it could have been pretty much lopped off, but it looked better than just having empty space.

Revitalization creeps into Lafayette
Imagine an old, run down neighborhood loaded with all the problems that come with an old, run down neighborhood. Now, imagine someone with the money to change one of the residences in said neighborhood. Just driving by, you can see the difference. A new coat of paint. New windows and roof. A shiny new door. Landscaped yard. People take notice. A neighbor gets inspired and does the same. The next house on the block sells for more than the last one did. The buyer gives that residence a facelift as well. The block starts to turn around. Real estate prices go up. Such is gentrification. Seems like a civil enough topic, right? But bring it up with local experts, and you'll learn it's a political hot button. "Over time the term gentrification may have become viewed in the negative sense because people in neighborhoods redeveloped may not be able to afford to stay," says Cathy C.
