SAMANTHA CRITCHELL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — You can have something sweet this spring that’s not sugary: trendright, candy-colored makeup. The cheerful hues give off a youthful, happy vibe while definitively moving your look from winter to spring. “Spring is a season of change. Everyone wants a new look or a pick me up,” says Erin McCarthy of the beauty brand Make Up For Ever. “These pastel colors work really well for that. It’s a pop of something fun but it’s not too much, not too scary. It’s a safe experiment.” McCarthy says she saw a lot of peach and pinks on the fashion runways — and they’ve already made it to the street. “It’s a very girlie, feminine look.” Some tips from makeup experts on how to wear these shades:

• Eyes Pick one area to play up, either the eyes, lips or cheeks, says Dominic Driguglio, Stila celebrity makeup artist, but don’t do it all at once. You’ll get the brightest pop on your eyes, he says. Use a bright blue or green shadow on the lid, no eyeliner and lots of black mascara, he says, or, alternatively, you can do a mix of pink, purple and blue shadows — the pink goes in the center of the lid, purple to contour the corners and the blue at the inner corner — with purple eyeliner applied in a subtle cat-eye shape. Jean Ford, co-founder of Benefit Cosmetics, says light purple and light green are “universally” flattering and wearable, and McCarthy says she likes a mint green for women with brown eyes, which brings See MAKEUP, D2

Look like a classy peasant This week Average Josephine is going to explore how to wear this spring’s “peasant look” without actually looking like a peasant. You’ll notice a lot of peasantinspired items in stores. There are adorable skirts, bangle bracelets and poplin embroidered blouses in a variety of bright and bold colors. However, as cute as these items are, it can be tricky to incorporate them into your wardrobe without looking like you’re dressed up like a gypsy for Halloween. Average Josephine loves the idea of wearing a peasant-style skirt in place of shorts as the weather warms up. However, it is important to remember that these skirts are uber-casual. Therefore, they really aren’t appropriate for office wear (unless you work in an uber-casual office), weddings or any other event where you’d typically “dress up.” The length of the peasant skirt depends on what flatters your figure. Ankle-length skirts tend not to flatter short women, while above-the-knee peasant skirts can look too girlish on tall women. When it See CLASSY, D2

It’s spring! Experts dish on easy ways to look and feel great

STACY SWANN FOR THE BAY CITY TIMES

Mother Nature has always proven to be a fickle friend for Michigan residents, and her indecisiveness seems to peak during late winter and early spring. Abnormally warm temperatures in February? Check. Snow in late April? Check. The ever-changing forecast may make it near impossible to plan a cookout or a family hiking trip in the next month or so, but it is very doable to prepare yourself, both physically and mentally, for the true spring season. Here are 10 tips to help you look and feel great this spring. • Take advantage of the nice weather while it’s here. Get outside, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy the warmth of the sun (with sunscreen of course). “Walk outside whenever you get a chance,” suggests Susanne Bahlke, a personal fitness trainer in Flint. “Walking outside stimulates the production of vitamin D and makes you feel good,” Bahlke said. Think positive and pay attention to your surroundings, and learn to enjoy the flowers, birds and nature, she said. • Eat a little better. “One very easy tip is to eat more color,” said Dawn Johnson, a registered dietitian and executive director of IMC Center for Nutrition & Weight Management in Flint. “If you’re eating more color — reds, oranges, greens, yellows — you are probably eating more fruits

and vegetables.” Johnson also recommends practicing good posture to feel better. “With your head held high and your shoulders back you will look slimmer, and by holding your stomach in you will develop your muscles.” • Find a good spa and treat yourself to a facial. “April is the worst month for your skin,” said Megan Jacobs, a skin care specialist at Day Escape Salon & Spa in Bay City. “Winter is 25 percent dryer due to rises in humidity levels and it’s hard on your skin.” Judy A. Bukowski, president at Day Escape, agreed. “We recommend four facials a year — spring, summer, fall and winter. A facial in spring cleanses your face, and leaves you feeling reconditioned, nourished and balanced.” When searching for a spa, Bukowski recommends doing some investigating. “Use a spa that was built as a spa, and focuses on spa treatments. Also, make sure the staff has excellent credentials and research the products they use.” • Give yourself happy hands and feet. “A good manicure helps care for your cuticles so they are not dry, and keeps you from getting hangnails,” Bukowski said, adding that the dryer months are hard on hands and feet, too. “Everybody wants their feet to be pretty,” she said. “Painted toes look nice and a pedicure will also slough off the dry skin.” Bukowski recommends the energizing and uplifting Peppermint Twist pedicure offered at Day Escape. • Don’t forget the rest of you. “Body treatments that slough off winter and exfoliate your skin are also important,” Jacobs said. Day Escape offers a skin refining body polish that smoothes and hydrates the skin with an exfoliating scrub, followed by a rich moisturizing cream. • Find yourself a sassy new dress.

Eating more color probably means you are eating healthier.

include a lot of yellow and white, and ready-to-wear styles are featured prominently. The dresses flow and the designs are simple, true signs of comfort and feeling good. • And how about some shoes to match? Whether you shop at Macy’s or Payless, ballet flats are all the rage this spring. Solids, prints, sparkles or not, you can’t go wrong with the comfort factor or the bounce these shoes will put in your step. • Do a little organizing. Before you buy your sassy new dress and shoes, it’s a good idea to take inventory of what you already have in your closet. Deborah Erickson, a certified professional organizer and owner of No Where But Up Organizing in Hemlock offers this advice: “The one thing I’ve seen that works the best is baby steps.” When organizing a closet, Erickson recommends starting by removing any item that is torn, stained or no longer fits. “Be realistic about what you will wear again, and if it still has the tags on it take it to a consignment shop.” If a client is having difficulty determining which items haven’t been worn in a while, Erickson suggests reversing your hangers. “As you wear certain items you will hang them back up the other way. After some time you will have a visual of what you have not worn.” Erickson said her clients are generally smiling and peppy after an organizing session. “They are less worked up and overwhelmed,” she said, and that is a good thing. • Bring home some fresh cut flowers. Research conducted by Rutgers University shows that nature provides us with an easy way to improve emotional health and feel great this spring — flowers. Beautiful spring flowers such as tulips, daffodils and hyacinths can trigger happy emotions, increase feelings of life satisfaction and lessen anxiety. Whether you pick these beauties from your yard or stop by a florist on your way home the benefits to your mood can be instant and long term. • Wear your sunscreen. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends that, regardless of skin type, a broad-spectrum (protects against UVA and UVB rays), waterresistant sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30 should be used year-round. Enough said.

cocktail dress is purple and features ribbon detailing. Moore said she didn’t realize her design potential until about a year and half ago when friends encouraged her to give it a try. “I’m kind of nervous,” she said of her debut. “I’m hoping everything turns out right, everything goes off smoothly. I haven’t done it yet. I don’t know what to expect.” The show is organized by a board of 17 students who have planned everything from publicity to training the 60-plus models how to walk on the runway. The Hach entrance will be decked out to reflect the theme of the show as well. Melissa Tracy of Marlette is in charge of making that area a work of art in itself. Tickets are $5 for students with an ID and $10 for those without for the 5 p.m. show. The 7:30 p.m. show, which is open to the public, is $25 per person or $45 per couple, which includes the show and a gala afterward with hors d’oeuvres. The event also includes a silent auction for artwork from local artists. Although store and boutique clothing seen on the runway won’t be available for sale, information will be available on where to purchase the fashions. Proceeds from the show will help pay for next year’s event.

very pink skin can make you look tired, he explains. He does, however, recommend sticking to the same color family for lips and cheeks. “It’s not so much about a ‘trend’ with these colors. Nude lips, for example, was a ‘trend,’ but was not flattering on everyone. But a natural pink glow? You just look prettier,” says McCarthy.

• Cheeks

• Lips

A creamy product is easier to blend than a powder, says McCarthy, Make Up For Ever’s education manager. It’ll also look more natural, she adds. She recommends applying blush with your fingers. (You can do the same with cream blush on the eyelids, McCarthy adds, noting that a little stain of pastel pink or peach at the center of the lid makes for a very flattering look.) But no neon blush, says Benefit’s Jane Ford, who likes a multicolored blushpowder compact. Swirl together with your brush flattering shades of peach, soft plum, shimmering pink and rose — then make sure to tap off any excess — and sweep the brush upward from your cheekbone to temple to hairline. But, just like with the eyes, you need to even out the skin tone first, says Driguglio. If your complexion has traces of green or yellow, you risk looking sick if the cheeks are very pink, and pink makeup on

Any lip with a lot of color, be it pink, red, purple or fuchsia, is best complemented with an otherwise neutral face, says E.L.F.’s Dunaway. (Think Sandra Bullock at the Oscars, she says.) The candy-colored lip would go well with another seasonal must-have: the little white dress, she says. For newbies to the world of brighter lipstick, Dunaway suggests starting with a pink that has a noticeable purple undertone. It’s likely going to be lighter and sheerer — and more wearable — than you are expecting, she says. Another way to tone down a deeply pigmented lipstick is to apply a layer of clear gloss on top, Dunaway says, which acts as a filter. Stila’s Driguglio’s favorite shades right now are a youthful watermelon lip gloss or a flirty bubblegum pink called Giggle that is offered in a lip enamel (which he promises isn’t as sticky as a gloss, so

blowing hair in the wind isn’t a problem). They both will announce a new playful, fun-loving attitude, he says. “I think pastels are synonymous with brunch or sundresses. There are no places you can’t wear them, you just have to wear them right.”

now — and Average Josephine just loves them. However, in order to look contemporary and chic, you should make them the focal point. You do this by pairing them with a simple outfit and minimal other jewelry. Another example is the beaded sandal. Is there any cuter footwear than a wedge-heel slide decorated with faux semi-precious stones? If you want to make the biggest statement, however, pair them with a simple sundress or some walking shorts and a light-weight blouse. You’ll look modern without looking like a modern-day traveling folk dancer. — Send questions to: averagejosephine@ gmail.com or c/o The Bay City Times, 311 Fifth Street, Bay City, MI 48708.

Cosmetics. “You’ll get that softness.” Colors will appear even brighter if you prep the eye area beforehand with a neutral primer.

comes to print or color, Average Josephine believes there are no rules. Peasant skirts are supposed to be colorful and fun. The one thing to remember in wearing peasant-inspired items is Average Josephine’s Rule of One. You can really only wear one gypsy piece at a time. Therefore, if you choose a peasant skirt, you should pair it with something like a nice T-shirt or tank top and unadorned sandals. You’ll also want to leave the bold earrings at home, too, unless you want to look like you’re ready to read someone’s tea leaves. That doesn’t mean you can’t wear other peasant-inspired items. You just can’t wear them all at once. Large, bold earrings are a big hit right

Miss the runway shows in Paris and New York this season? Not to worry, students at Northwood University in Midland are offering up the next best thing with their ninth annual style show. Models head down the runway Thursday at The Hach Student Life Center on campus. “I encourage people who are interested in fashion, or who have never been to a fashion show, to check it out,” said event chairperson Corie Carlton of Spaulding Township in Saginaw County. “It’s the closest thing to a highfashion event in the area.” This year’s theme is “Painting the Eras of Vogue.” “The idea is to combine art and fashion,” Carlton said. “We’re going to take various time periods throughout history, choosing the art of that time period. We’ll be choosing a couple of famous and non-famous paintings and works of art and use it for inspiration for each segment on the runway.” Those segments will be presented by students and area clothing stores, from small boutiques to department stores. Jennifer Rose of Coleman, a student and switchboard operator at the university, will show a gown she designed, based on one she saw on “Dancing With the Stars.” “It’s a full-length dress. The neckline is beaded,” she said. Teaming up with professor Barb Sumi, the two began beading and the dress took shape. She’ll also show another of her creations — a tunic made of scarves, designed to wear over leggings. “I sort of started putting the scarfs together, laying them out and seeing how they fit,” she said. This is Rose’s second time in the show. While her designs get raves, she says she has no intention of heading to New York to work in the fashion industry. “I love to sew,” she said. “It’s a hobby for me. When

Tourists visit the Forbidden City in Beijing. Once the home of China’s emperors, the former imperial palace has been preserved as a major tourist attraction.

Beijing, Hong Kong, Macau DEBORAH YAO

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING — In booming Beijing, remnants of ancient China are tangible in the Forbidden City. In Hong Kong, skyscrapers symbolize one of the world’s most successful economies. And in Macau, across the Pearl River Delta from Hong Kong, gambling generates more revenue than in Las Vegas. In one trip, I visited all three places — sampling history on the mainland, the fruits of capitalism in Hong Kong and the glitzy casinos of Macau — and experienced three very different Chinas. For me, it was a personal journey as well as a vacation. My family left China in 1949, first for Taiwan and then the Philippines. I wasn’t sure what to expect and whether or not they would accept me. I’m Chinese, but I act like a foreigner culturally. I speak my provincial dialect of Fujianese, but not Mandarin, the official Chinese language. (I also speak Tagalog, the Filipino language.) My family was part of the Chinese diaspora that left the mainland more than half a century ago. We are the overseas Chinese, living in foreign lands in our own communities, a people without a true home. Often during my visit, someone would start talking to me in Mandarin. I know some Mandarin (I studied it for years but forgot most of it), so I would say, “I don’t speak Mandarin. I speak English.” Despite this, I was surprised at how much I felt at home in China, and I felt proud of the country’s economic development. This, I felt, was the future for our people. But like most visitors, I wanted to see the country’s history, too. I spent my first full day in China at the Badaling section of the Great Wall, the same place visited by President Barack Obama. The wall resembles the writhing body of a dragon hugging China’s hills, mountains and grasslands. Parts of the wall date back to the first century B.C., and it was built and rebuilt over two millennia to keep out invaders. At 3,500 miles

long, it’s longer than the United States is wide. The Great Wall is in the mountains, an hour outside Beijing. I joined a tour group to see it, reserving ahead online for about $30 ($20 less than reserving through a hotel). The tour included lunch, but the guide detoured us to jade and silk factories where prices gouge unwary tourists — a common practice among local operators. An alternative is to take a cab, but make sure to negotiate a price with the driver before leaving. The Forbidden City is located in the middle of Beijing, surrounded by concentric circles of roads, across from Tiananmen Square, easily accessible by subway. Built in the early 1400s, the Forbidden City was home to 24 emperors in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The imperial dynasty ended with Puyi, who ruled from 1909 to 1911 and was portrayed in the movie “The Last Emperor.” It is called the Forbidden City because commoners weren’t allowed in until 1925. As the world’s largest palace complex, it spans 7.8 million square feet, or about 135 football fields, with more than 8,700 rooms. The Forbidden City is divided into the southern Outer Court, where emperors conducted state affairs and elaborate ceremonies, and the smaller Inner Court, where they lived. It is believed that in the Inner Court heaven and earth met, and yin and yang — opposing yet linked cosmic forces such as dark and light, male and female — are united. Dragons were the symbol of the Chinese emperor. On the Nine Dragon Wall on the eastern perimeter, dragons are depicted in colorful glazed tile, and giant versions of the smaller dragon carvings are found all over the palace complex. You can rent your own audio guides at the Forbidden City, and they even have built-in GPS that automatically triggers commentary when you’re near a historic attraction. But the audio and the sites aren’t always in sync, and the commentary plays only once. Too bad if you didn’t pay attention the first time. The entrance fee is about $6 to $9

Quake scares Chile tourists, but most sites ﬁne

Cities have distinct ﬂavors

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTIAGO, Chile — Outside Santiago’s Fine Arts Museum is a fallen cornice broken into chunks and strewn across marble steps. But inside, sculpture stands firmly beneath a perfectly intact glass cupola. In the aftermath of the devastating mega-quake in central Chile, visitors are greeted by jarring contrasts: A general impression of normalcy shaken by pockets of spectacular destruction. One thing is certain. The country’s $2 billion tourism industry has taken a beating since Feb. 27. Chile has lifted the state of catastrophe that outgoing President Michelle Bachelet declared when she sent soldiers into the streets to stop looting and deliver relief. A U.S. State Department warning strongly urging U.S. citizens to avoid tourism and nonessential travel to Chile was narrowed March 12 to areas closest to the epicenter. Still, travelers canceled half their reservations at Chile’s hotels in the first weeks of March. Despite Easter vacations, 30 percent of reservations have been canceled for April. That’s bad news for a nation in desperate need of reconstruction dollars, but it may mean opportunity for deal-hunting travelers. The first startling sight for most visitors is Santiago’s banged-up international airport, where the ceiling and walkways were severely damaged.

sion,” said Sebastian Catalan, who runs bike tours of Santiago. “It says, ‘Welcome. Chile is a disaster. ’” After the unusual arrival, though, the most surprising thing for tourists may be how undamaged Chile appears. Given the country’s slender geography, only the central regions were widely damaged, particularly coastal cities wiped out by the tsunami. Famous destinations in the northern Atacama Desert and southern Patagonia were entirely untouched. And thanks to advanced building codes, structures in the capital of Santiago largely escaped the destruction. There has been some impact on a few attractions: Contemporary art exhibits inside the Fine Arts building are closed and the 160-year-old Municipal Theater won’t

be hosting concerts and performances for months. Chile’s grand national library remains closed to the public while engineers examine structural damage and aging Catholic churches throughout the city need rebuilding. Southern-bound train routes remain suspended, but travel has resumed along the country’s main north-south highway. Even some wineries and national parks in the central southern heartland are slowly reopening. But some landmarks have been transfigured. The first visitors to the Siete Tazas National Park will discover that the namesake string of seven impressive waterfalls dried up overnight when the earthquake opened underground cracks and diverted the falls’ source. Park guards are watching anxiously as water trickles

again through the cavernous stone cups, hoping the subterranean fissures will fill with silt and restore the roaring cascades. A similar process saved the fortunes of Roberto Movillo, who owns the nearby Panimavida Hot Springs. After the quake, Movillo saw the water level in his natural wells drop precipitously, but within days they had filled to the point of overflowing. “Now the problem is the tourists,” he said. “That’s where the flow has really dropped off.” Life, of course, remains precarious for the many Chileans left homeless and jobless by the disaster. Coastal villages that suffered the worst of the tsunami were nearly wiped out. Towns throughout the southern heartland remain in ruins, with entire blocks condemned and streets

still obstructed by piles of rubble. Priorities have shifted accordingly for some in the tourism industry. The Chile Trekking Foundation ordinarily works to protect the environment and train hundreds of small tourism entrepreneurs. But in the past month, it has sent a third of its annual budget to emergency relief in the quake region, offering the first assistance to many rural communities near the epicenter. Franz Schubert, a foundation co-director and hostel owner, doesn’t see the desperation of his neighbors as a reason to put tourism on hold. “What am I going to do — close my doors when people need jobs?” he said. “Besides, tourists come here for trekking in the mountains. And those haven’t moved.”

depending on the season; audio guide rentals are about $6. Before leaving mainland China, I visited one additional historic site, taking an overnight train from Beijing to Xi’an to see the terracotta warriors. About 8,000 lifesize terracotta warriors stand or kneel in pits at the site, along with their horses. China’s first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, ordered these soldiers made around 246 B.C., to accompany him to the afterlife. The excavation continues. My next stop was Hong Kong, which I have visited many times. Both Hong Kong and Macau are former colonies. Hong Kong was returned to China by Britain in 1997, and Macau was returned by Portugal in 1999. China designated them as Special Administrative Regions, giving them a degree of autonomy. Compared to Beijing, English is more widely spoken in Hong Kong and Western customs are more common. After Beijing’s prices, Hong Kong is also a shock to the wallet: $80 nightly hotel rates are considered inexpensive. In Beijing, similar rooms cost about $35. Mickey Mouse and other Western brands and symbols are common in Hong Kong, whereas in Beijing, Chairman Mao’s visage was printed on everything from decorative plates to playing cards. Soldiers were more visible on the mainland as well, a reminder of the authoritarian regime beneath the country’s burgeoning economy. Hong Kong has long been considered Asia’s Wall Street, but for visitors, the main pastimes are shopping and eating. Hong Kong Island, one of two main regions there, is home to the financial district, gardens, malls and Victoria Peak, its highest hill, known for great views. Kowloon Island has the biggest concentration of shops, along with museums, hotels and restaurants. Hong Kong Disneyland is on nearby Lantau island. Kowloon’s Tsim Sha Tsui district is famous for its shopping, especially along bustling Nathan Road. Chains include Marks & Spencer department stores, kind of like a British Macy’s. Macau is one of the world’s biggest gambling destinations and an easy jaunt from Hong Kong. It’s accessible by inexpensive ferries, with free shuttle buses to take you to your hotel. I’m not much of a gambler, but I wanted to see The Venetian hotel in Macau. I had been to the one in Las Vegas when it first opened in 1999, built at a then-staggering cost of $1.5 billion. The $2.4 billion Venetian Macau hotel boasts 3,000 suites, a million square feet of retail space and a casino floor with 870 gaming tables and more than 3,400 slot machines. The Venetian Macau, themed on Venice, Italy, is as glitzy and over the top as the Vegas version. Singing gondoliers ply a manmade waterway inside the hotel as tourists snap pictures. Elaborate murals decorate the lobby corridor ceilings, and there is a re-creation of a Venice landmark, the bell tower of St. Mark’s Basilica. But the action is in the casinos, where gamblers sit transfixed in front of rows of slot machines or pray for a windfall at the blackjack tables. On the ferry going from Hong Kong to Macau, I sat next to a tourist snapping pictures from his seat, eagerly looking forward to his gambling vacation. Like so many of the visitors here, he was from the mainland, come to sample another side of China.

declared at the end, then promptly walked into the adjacent gift shop, past the blinking beer mugs for $9.95. It begs the question: Why do we want to be scared by fake, rotting mummies yet can’t handle watching more than a week of Anderson Cooper’s coverage of the Haiti earthquake? “People don’t quite understand the reality of things,” said Manza. “You see stuff all the time on YouTube, on TV, on the Internet that you never had access to before. We’ve kind of conditioned ourselves to get that way.” And speaking of earthquakes, there’s the quaint “San Francisco” area of Universal Studios. The fake neighborhood is packed with replicas of buildings in Fisherman’s Wharf and Ghirardelli Square. Families sip cappuccinos at sidewalk tables outside a small pastry shop, and one is tempted to try to buy a loaf of only-inSan Francisco sourdough bread at the bakery. Over hidden speakers, Tony Bennett belts out “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” a few times a day. Sandwiched among all of this is a ride — “Disaster.” The description on Universal’s Web site sets the scene: “You’ll experience a cataclysmic earthquake that causes the ground above you to open up and rain down huge chunks of concrete debris. Pillars crumble, trucks crash and explode in flames, a runaway train heads right for you and 65,000 gallons of water flood the underground station.” Sounds like fun.

NEW YORK — With three adult children, Teri Hurley made sure to book a house with three bedrooms for her family’s Thanksgiving vacation in New York’s Catskill Mountains. She was stunned — and angry — when she discovered that the third bedroom of the rental property was down a narrow, steep set of stairs under a kitchen trapdoor, half hidden by a scatter rug. “My son volunteered to play dungeon boy and took the basement accommodation,” Hurley said. “When he wanted to enter the living area, he had to pound on his ceiling — our floor — so we could open the trap door to let him up!” When Hurley got home, she complained to VRBO. com, where she booked the rental online, but ultimately decided not to go through with a formal complaint. The disappointing experience in 2008 hasn’t stopped her from renting on VRBO.com, which stands for vacation rentals by owner. For 10 years her family has stayed at the same Florida villa she found on VRBO. And last Christmas, she rented a “stunning” log house on 10 acres outside Woodstock, N.Y., also from VRBO. The vacation rental market — booking a vacation property directly from the owner or from a property management company — is booming. A study released in 2009 by the travel industry research firm PhoCusWright Inc. estimated the market to be $24.3 billion, or more than a fifth of the U.S. lodging industry (based on room revenue) of $107 billion in 2007. Alexis de Belloy, vice president of U.S. business at HomeAway, Inc., the world’s largest vacation rental marketplace and owner of sites including

HomeAway.com, VRBO. com and VacationRentals. com, says HomeAway facilitates more than 300,000 bookings a month with only a “handful of instances” of unsatisfactory rentals. While he wasn’t familiar with the particulars of Hurley’s complaint, he says HomeAway has a staff of 100 who do customer support including complaint investigations. Documentation of a problem can lead to a listing being taken down. He also notes that the company offers rental insurance up to $10,000 that protects against Internet fraud and foreclosure, with the average cost for insurance about $44. The demand for vacation rentals is being driven by a number of factors: a large supply of second homes, some purchased as investments; more travel by large, multigenerational groups including for family reunions; and economies of scale that can make a vacation rental a better value than hotels, especially for longer stays. Another driver is the Internet, which lets both rental companies and individual homeowners go online to market their homes. But the industry is relatively new, fragmented and unregulated. Consider that Conrad Hilton purchased his first hotel in 1919 and that HomeAway was launched in 2006. When HomeAway ran a Super Bowl ad this year featuring Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo in a reprise of their roles as the Griswolds from the 1983 hit comedy “National Lampoon Vacation,” it marked a sort of coming-of-age for the industry. As with any new thing, consumers need to be cautious. Web photos can be deceiving. Online reviews can be planted by people with an agenda, good or bad. Even if a glowing

review were once true, properties deteriorate if they aren’t maintained. What can a would-be renter do? Insist on a rental agreement. Pay with a credit card. Ask lots of questions, by phone as well as e-mail. Ask for references. Take out rental insurance. Inquire about extra fees. Find out how and when you’ll get back your security deposit. Also this: Keep records. Make photos or videos of substandard conditions. Complain promptly if there’s a problem. Seek out the Better Business Bureau if you feel you were victimized. Finally, know your needs. If you’re traveling to a mountain hideaway in winter, who will plow the road to the main highway if there’s a blizzard? Hurley’s complaint about the “dungeon” third bedroom is mild compared to some of the horror stories online. John Romano, a vacation rental property owner who markets his properties on VRWD.com, which stands for Vacation Rentals Web Directory, started a companion site in 2006 called Vacation Rentals Watchdog — VRWD.org — where people can go to gripe. There you’ll find scary stories about people who put down thousands of dollars in security deposits and travel hundreds or thousands of miles only to discover stained couches, cobweb-covered grills, dilapidated patio furniture, ant infestations — and worse. Some stick it out. Others take the loss, spending additional thousands of dollars for alternative lodging. Yet despite such stories, many people find great properties for good value. Douglas Quinby, senior director of research at PhoCusWright, found that 89 percent of people who booked vacation rentals say they’d do it again within three years.

Remind your brother his wife, babies need his strength Dear Carolyn: My brother’s wife just gave birth to very premature, very sick twins. They will probably spend months in the hospital and one is likely to have severe developmental issues. My brother is panicking; he keeps saying he didn’t sign on for this, and he is worried he’s going to cut and run if he doesn’t find relief from the stress. His wife is still recovering from a C-section, so instead of talking through his fears with her, he puts on a brave face and then tells everyone else how scared he is. How best to support him? I want to be there for him, but the part of me that still remembers (all too clearly) the stress of being a new mom to one healthy baby, and not having to recover from a C-section, can’t imagine what my sister-inlaw must be going through. I kind of just want to tell him to snap out of it. — Seattle

He does need to snap out of it, that’s true. But if you’re looking for a correlation between telling people to snap out of it, and their actually snapping out of it, then you’ll find it in Yeahrightville. Anything you say to your brother has to include elements of sympathy to leaven the suck-it-up part. For example, “You’re right, no one signs up to have — or be — sick children.” And then ask him what he thinks might help with the stress? If it’s just a chance to walk away, then take him out to eat, or pull hospital duty for him while he takes a day to himself. Put it on the weekly schedule, even, so he can count on relief. If having someone to talk to would help him, then you can research his options for him; states offer different programs for special-needs children and their families, and while the gateway is usually the hospital staff, it’s possible your brother hasn’t received or processed the information. Do some homework for him to find support (Washington’s Division of Community and Family

Still, give him room to wail his way through this; listen patiently, and also pat his back whenever you see him rising to the occasion. Remind him how lucky his family is to have him. If you don’t see that — say, if his no-show talk turns to walk — then remind him that, even freaked out, he’s better equipped to handle what lies ahead than his babies are, and they’re going to need their daddy. Not to be perfect, mind you — just to be there, loving them, and teaching them how to try. Predictions of developmental problems notwithstanding, every child faces an uphill fight to get from Point A of infancy to Point B of contented-but-not-resigned adulthood. Some never achieve contentment. But the ones who do aren’t always the ones with all the physical advantages at birth. The greatest advantage any child can have is a parent standing by his side throughout that fight, with no agenda other than to supply what the child needs. Any parent could use the occasional, non-preachy reminder of that. E-mail Carolyn at tellme@washpost.com, or chat with her online at noon Eastern time each Friday at www.washingtonpost.com.

ZUMBA Fitness craze keeps feet moving and revenue rolling in

“It’s changed things not only for the public, by being able to offer something that was completely off the map as far as fitness, but it also allows fitness professionals and instructors to create new revenue,” Fechter said. “I think it’s been great all around.” Pat Daly, a certified American Council on Exercise and Zumba instructor, teaches classes in Saginaw and Midland counties. She said Zumba, as a fitness craze and a business, is growing in the region, and she expects it to get even bigger. “I definitely think Zumba is here to stay,” Daly said. “Locally, you can find a class any day of the week.” Daly teaches Zumba classes to employees at Dow Chemical Co., as well as after hours at Carpenter Elementary School in Midland and the Kramer Dance Studio in Saginaw Township. In May, she’ll be teaching Zumba to members of the Midland Country Club. The Freeland resident, who charges $7 per class, said the size of her classes fluctuates — fewer people attend during the summer months — but averages 15 to 20 people per class. Seung-ni Fitness, with locations in Saginaw, Bay City and Midland, also offers Zumba courses throughout the week at each of its locations. Gary Hausbeck, Seung-ni creator and owner of the studios in Saginaw and Midland, said Zumba classes at his gyms draw in an average of 60 people. “There are definitely people who come

Hausbeck said that in addition to offering the Zumba classes, the fitness studios also sell Zumba clothing, which he says has turned out to be a big hit. “We get people from all over coming to buy Zumba attire,” Hausbeck said of the T-shirts, cargo pants and tank tops worn during the class. “In the first month we carried Zumba attire, we sold a few thousand dollars worth of merchandise.”

This past fall, the two launched Wight Technologies, a consulting company that works with doctors to evaluate their information technology needs, select electronic medical record software and integrate the system into their practice. “We want to increase their profitability and improve health care,” said Susana Wight, chief operating officer of Wight Technologies.

McLaren Medical Group in Flint Township, a subsidiary of McLaren Health Care Corp., recently announced it is spending more than $3 million to arm 150 physicians with electronic health-record technology. And Flint-based Hurley Medical Center recently inked a deal with Wisconsin-based Epic Systems Corp. for healthcare software to implement an integrated electronic medical record system. The system, which will allow doctors to track orders from home and patients to access their own records and make appointments, will go live beginning in 2011, Hurley

Anne said he started developing his own system, which started as a physician billing module, more than 10 years ago.

Yes, Everyone Really Does Hate Performance Reviews It’s time to finally put the performance review out of its misery. This corporate sham is one of the most insidious, most damaging, and yet most ubiquitous of corporate activities. Everybody does it, and almost everyone who’s evaluated hates it. It’s a pretentious, bogus practice that produces absolutely nothing that any thinking executive should call a corporate plus. Adapted from “Get Rid of the Performance Review! How Companies Can Stop Intimidating, Start Managing —and Focus on What Really Matters.” Copyright 2010. By Samuel A. Culbert with Lawrence Rout. Published by Business Plus, an imprint of Grand Central Publishing, a division of Hachette Book Group Inc. All rights reserved.

And yet few people do anything to kill it. Well, it’s time they did. Don’t get me wrong: Reviewing performance is good; it should happen every day. But employees need evaluations they can believe, not the fraudulent ones they receive. They need evaluations that are dictated by need, not a date on the calendar. They need evaluations that make them strive to improve, not pretend they are perfect. Who, Me? Sadly, most managers are oblivious to the havoc they wreak with performance reviews. To some extent, they don’t know any better: This is

how performance reviews have been done, and this is how they will be done. Period. Here’s a simple experiment you can try. Ask yourself: How often have you heard a manager say, “Here is what I believe,” followed by, “Now tell me, what do you think?” and actually mean it? Rarely, I bet. The performance review is the primary tool for reinforcing this sorry state. Performance reviews instill feelings of being dominated. They send employees the message that the boss’s opinion of their performance is the key determinant of pay, assignment, and career progress. And while that opinion pretends to be objective, it is no such thing. Think about it: If performance reviews are so objective, why is it that so many people get totally different ratings simply by switching bosses? No, instead, the overriding message is that the boss’s assessment is really about whether the boss “likes” you, whether he or she feels “comfortable” with you. None of this is good for the company unless the boss is some kind of savant genius who can read an employee’s talents with laser accuracy—and then understands what motivates the employee so perfectly that he or she can push just the right psychological buttons to get the employee to use those talents. Unlikely and even more unlikely. The Damage Done At this point, you may be asking: So what? So what if you can’t speak your mind to your boss? So what if the performance review forces the boss to focus on an employee’s “weaknesses” (since most bosses are told they can’t give everyone top grades)? What harm does it re-

A Better Way The good news is that none of this is the way things have to be. The one-sided, boss-dominated performance review needs to be replaced by a straight-talking relationship where the focus is on results, not personality, and where the boss is held accountable for the success of the subordinate (instead of just using the performance review to blame the subordinate for any problems they’re having). In this new system, managers will stop labeling people “good guys” and “bad guys”—or, in the sick parlance of performance reviews, outstanding performers, average performers, and poor performers to be put on notice. Instead, they’ll get it straight that their job is to make everyone reporting to them good guys. If you’re a boss, and your subordinate isn’t succeeding, something is broken here. Doing more of the same isn’t going to cut it. It’s now time for you to ask, “What do you need from me to deliver what we are both on the firing line to produce?” And just as important, it’s time for you to listen to the answer.

What Do You Think? 1. My favorite performance review was: a. When my boss correctly identified weaknesses that I was eager to work on. b. When I was reviewed, anonymously, by many insightful colleagues I interact with, including some who want my job. c. When my boss asked me to first review myself, allowing the boss to correct my silly self impressions. d. When my boss forgot to give me one. 2. After a review, I usually reflect on what was said for: a. An entire year, until the next one. b. At least a month, until I feel I’ve addressed my major flaws. c. All that week. d. The amount of time it takes to shut the door to my boss’s office.

4. I take a copy of my performance review and: a. Tack it to my cubicle wall so I can constantly refer to it. b. Bring it home to show my family. c. Send it to my parents so they can have it for their scrapbook. d. What copy? 5. The best thing my boss can say to me during a performance review is: a. I wish I could give you a 5, but we’re not allowed to give too many. b. You’ve been in this department for, I forget, how many years? c. You’re definitely showing signs of improvement. d. OK, I think we’re done.

3. The easiest way to improve your review is: a. Do what you think is best for the company. b. Tell the boss you think the last review was unfair, and explain why. c. Invite your boss to your house to meet your family. d. Change bosses.

6. The only people who are better qualified than my boss to give me an objective performance review are: a. My family. b. My family and friends. c. My family, friends and casual acquaintances. d. My friends, family, casual acquaintances and the guy I bought coffee from once two years ago.

Asking and listening. Imagine that. It’s called a conversation, and it’s a rarity in workplaces today. Only by hearing what the other person thinks, and putting that person’s actions in the appropriate context, can you actually see what the person is saying and doing—and how together you can get where the company needs you to go. Performance reviews won’t get you there, because that’s just about the boss getting the subordinate to buy into his or her way of thinking. It’s a mirror—not a window into the other person. But take away the performance review and you might actually have straight talk.

Rotten Milk Proponents of performance reviews say that the problem isn’t the review itself, but poorly trained reviewers. Sorry, but that doesn’t fly: The performance review done exactly as intentioned is just as horribly flawed as the review done “poorly.” You can’t bake a great cake with rotten milk, no matter how skilled the chef. They also say you need performance reviews to protect against lawsuits by laid-off workers. Nonsense: Most performance reviews hurt a company’s case because they aren’t honest assessments of a worker’s performance. Also, before you start griping

7. The biggest problem with performance reviews is: a. Not enough employees take them to heart. b. They don’t happen often enough. c. Bosses sometimes forget to give them. d. They’re performance reviews.

YOUR SCORE IS: Give yourself 1 point for every (a) answer; 2 points for every (b) answer; 3 points for every (c) answer and 4 points for every (d) answer. 8 POINTS OR LESS You have many fans in the Human Resources Department. That may bode well for career advancement. But you may as well accept it: Your colleagues no doubt hate you. 9-24 POINTS You are torn. You want to be a team player, you really do. But the rules just seem so stupid. 25+ POINTS Well, join the crowd. You hate performance reviews and you aren't ashamed to admit it. Source: performancepreview.com

about how I don’t understand Margaret, the woman in your department who wants to do as little work as possible, or how Tom is so distracted by his life outside the office that he can’t get anything done at work, let me stop you and say: I know that not everybody deserves to stay in their jobs. Getting rid of performance reviews doesn’t get rid of slackers. Not everybody will leap at the chance to get better and grow. But everybody deserves the best shot managers can give them. And they can’t get that shot with performance reviews. Email: forum.sunday03@wsj.com

ally do? Sadly, it does enormous damage. Forget, for a minute, the damage it does on a personal level—the way it makes work lives miserable, the way it leaves employees feeling depressed and anxious, the way having to show so much tolerance at work leaves them with too little tolerance at home. Just think about what it does on a corporate level, the enormous amount of time and energy it wastes, and the way it prevents companies from tapping the innovative, outside-thebox thinking that so many employees are capable of. If only, that is, they weren’t so afraid.

Is It Time for Levi to Get a Paying Job?

STEVE: Levi still doesn’t have a regular paying job. Should I be worried? He has been talking about wanting a job since last summer, but he hasn’t shown any initiative in finding one. And it does seem like a 14-year-old kid should have a paper route or a job bagging groceries or something—at least that’s what one voice from somewhere in my head is telling me. But I’m of two minds about it. Here’s what one mind says: § It’s at about this age that Levi should start demonstrating a work ethic, an internal motivation to take on paying work even if it’s hard and sometimes unpleasant. § It’s time Levi learned that there aren’t handouts in life—that an allowance isn’t like real life (nor, for a teenager, is an income from a newspaper column). § The sooner Levi goes out and looks for a job, the sooner he’ll discover that there’s a rich variety of options in the work world. Some jobs are drudgery; some are gratifying, educational and almost worth doing for no money. Part of having a job as a teenager is learning what you don’t want to do, and learning that by taking a little initiative, you might find something better the next time you’re job hunting. § A job would round out Levi’s life beyond school, friends, sports and Facebook. A job would help reinforce concepts like responsibility and accountability— and the importance of things like punctuality. § And besides, I had jobs at his age, so why shouldn’t he? Before I was even in high school, I had found jobs delivering papers, mowing lawns and tutoring. I had gone a long way toward independence from the parental

allowance before freshman year. My other mind says it’s just fine that Levi isn’t rushing to find a job yet: § Karen and I are already pressuring him to apply himself harder to his studies. Maybe freshman year in high school is too early to add the distraction of a job. Several parents I know have urged their teenagers not to take jobs; any spare time, they feel, should be spent on school or family activities. § A work ethic has to come from within. If I pressure him to find a job, he’s more likely to resent work than if he makes the move on his own. § My childhood isn’t necessarily relevant. One reason I wanted to work was to save for stuff—bicycle parts, skis, a motorcycle. Levi doesn’t seem to want much stuff, which is a good thing. § There’s still plenty of time. Levi’s brothers, Luke and Isaac, didn’t have jobs at his age. They showed no interest in finding jobs and resisted hints that they should look. Then, in their junior years, each suddenly showed a keen drive to find a job on his own; within a few weeks each had found a job and had begun demonstrating a strong work ethic and acumen for time management—taking special pride, it seemed, in the fact that Mom and Dad hadn’t

helped at all. LEVI: I want a job. I know I have one writing this column, but that money goes into my college fund and to charity, so I’d like a job where I can use the money for what I want. I do baby-sit once in a while. But it’s so inconsistent that I can’t rely on it. My only other income source is the small weekly allowance that I’ve had for the past nine years. Most of my friends have some kind of job. Some have typical kid jobs—they have a paper route, for instance, or baby-sit. A few friends have better jobs, like working for a deli or a small business. A small number of my friends rely on big allowances for their money (something I wouldn’t really want, even if I had a prayer of getting it). Money isn’t the only reason I’d like a job. For one thing, both of my brothers had jobs. They not only made money, but they had fun while getting it. Luke worked at an engineering company building parts for robots, and Isaac at a tea shop. There’s also the issue of independence. The more I act like an adult, the more my parents will trust me,

and the more independence they’ll give me—independence to go out later, have more responsibilities. As Dad says, a job would give me all sorts of useful skills. I’d learn to work with people, manage money and time, handle more responsibilities—all things that would be beneficial in the future. So, it sounds like there’s no question I should get a job. Except… Most jobs that my friends have would conflict with my schedule (like a paper route), or are too inconsistent (baby-sitting), or are hard to find (jobs in a store), or are impossible to get because I’m too young. Anyway, jobs in a city these days are pretty scarce for anybody. I also realize that there are plenty of negatives when it comes to a job. Working might get in the way of track, studies or other obligations. A regular job would force me to make some hard decisions between things I want to do, such as track practice or hanging out with friends, and things I have to do, such as my homework. When I get out of school at 3:05, I go straight to track. Track ends at 5:30, when I start walking home. I then start homework, and by the time I’m done it’s dark. When could I go to a job? I guess for now, I’m not convinced that getting a job is all that important at my age. I don’t even use that much money anyway; I can probably survive on my meager allowance for now. The most important job for me right now is school. Steve Yoder is chief of The Wall Street Journal’s San Francisco bureau. His son Isaac is 19 years old and a college freshman.

Some Job Benefits You May Never Get Back

Valuing Another Degree

The economy may be limping back to health, but don’t expect the job perks cut during the downturn to return any time soon. From 401(k) contributions to educational reimbursements, “benefits across the board are no longer sacred cows,” says Tim Prichard, head of BridgeStreet Consulting, a benefits-administration consulting firm. Education reimbursement and training are often cut early. The number of companies that offered reimbursement for undergraduate and graduate classes decreased by 4% and 5%, respectively, according to a 2009 survey by the Society for Human Resource Management. Some companies cap tuition reimbursements at $2,500 for employees who just a few years ago would have had their master’s degrees almost entirely paid for. A survey of 2,092 companies conducted by the Graduate Management Admission Council, which administers the GMAT admission test for M.B.A. students, found the percentage of U.S. employers offering tuition reimbursement or scholarships to recent M.B.A. graduates declined to 29% in 2009 from 37% in 2008. Companies offering financial assistance for adoptions also fell, to 10% from 20%, according to the Society for Human Resource Management survey. And, so far, few are adding the benefit back, experts say. As telecommuting technologies became cheaper and more accessible, many workplace advocates believed large numbers of companies would allow employees to work remotely. But over the past five years new telecommuters have been offset by employees returning to the traditional workplace, according to a June 2009 report by IT consulting firm International Data. The report also found that some businesses have tempered

Does an advanced degree still propel you ahead? The answer isn’t as straightforward as it used to be. The unemployment rate for people ages 20 to 24 with a bachelor’s degree fell to 7.2% in March, from 7.6% a year earlier. But that still leaves scores of twentysomethings vying for fewer jobs. And the pool of job hunters will grow as the class of 2010 enters the work force. So, it may be tempting to sidestep the whole job search, at least for a while, and go back to the security of academia—to further your education and make yourself more marketable in the long run. But you’ll need to determine if delaying your entry into the job market and incurring the costs of a master’s or M.B.A. degree will pay off in this economic climate. “In many, many fields, education up the wazoo is not going to matter as much as on-the-job training,” says Heather Huhman, president of ComeRecommended.com, a social-networking site for young professionals.

support for alternative and flexible work arrangements, just as some employees are more hesitant to work away from the office. “When times are tough, telecommuters will take refuge in the corporate office, maybe feeling vulnerable or exposed in not being where the action is,” says IDC analyst Justin Jaffe. One more thing that might be gone for good—or at least a very long time: holiday parties. According to the Society for Human Resource Management survey, the percentage of respondents who said that their company held a holiday party fell to 81% last year from 87% in 2006, with 15% saying they plan to reduce or eliminate them in the next year. One benefit that is showing signs of life is matching contributions to 401(k) plans. Many companies suspended that perk over the past few years. But in February, benefits consulting firm Hewitt Associates surveyed 162 midsize to large U.S. companies and found that 80% planned to restore matching contributions in 2010. —Joe Walker The Wall Street Journal

Avoid These Tax Mistakes Preparing a tax return is, and will probably always be, a miserable process. Even for experts. “I have loved taxes ever since my first day of law school. I even love paying them. But I dread—really dread—the process,” says Christopher Bergin, the president of Tax Analysts, a leading tax publisher. Here are six tax mistakes he says to watch out for: Social Security glitches: Mixing up a Social Security number can mean months of headaches. Also, married couples should never switch the order of their names on a return, which confounds the computers that process returns.

Overlooking withheld taxes on 1099 forms: These are notices detailing pension, investment and other miscellaneous income. Withholding practices aren’t uniform, so check carefully. Deducting points: These loan fees are deductible upfront only on your first mortgage on a house—not on refinancings. Overestimating charitable donations: If you went to a party or received a set of DVDs in return for a contribution, you must subtract the value from your donation. Charities usually supply the values in a letter to you. Overpaying on ‘qualified’ dividends: The tax rate is anywhere from zero to 15%. It applies to many dividends of stocks held longer than two months, and the 1099 form should specify what’s eligible for the lower rate. Forgetting the Alternative Minimun Tax: The AMT is a tricky tax to predict—and some taxpayers fall into it one year but not others. —Laura Saunders The Wall Street Journal

Summer Forecast: Gas Up Americans will pay an average of 48 cents a gallon more for gasoline this summer than in 2009. But they still will consume about 0.5% more of the

automotive fuel after Memorial Day as the economy picks up steam, according to government projections. The expected 20% jump in gasoline prices from last summer led the Energy Information Administration, the federal government’s energy-research arm, to issue a cautious outlook for gasoline consumption for the 2010 summer driving season, the traditional height of highway travel. Someone driving a car with a 15-gallon gasoline tank will pay an extra $7.20 to fill up the tank, says Neil Gamson, an economist with the Energy Information Administration. That added cost could weigh on some drivers’ transportation plans, he says. But prices aren’t expected to change drastically from current prices, with gasoline seen at about $2.92 a gallon and spikes into the $3 range over parts of the U.S. Currently, gasoline sells for an average of about $2.86 gallon, according to the AAA Daily Fuel Gauge report. —Steve Gelsi MarketWatch.com The Aggregator features news and commentary from The Wall Street Journal and other publications.

The Cheaper Hire People over 25 years old with a master’s degree earn about 20% more a week than people with a bachelor’s degree, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And those with professional degrees get paid 50% more. These days, however, as employers continue to cut spending, expectations for such higher pay could backfire when you’re competing against less educated— and less expensive—candidates. For example, entry-level teachers with master’s degrees often have a harder time getting hired than those with bachelor’s degrees because schools typically pay more to teachers with master’s degrees, says Steven Rothberg, founder of CollegeRecruiter.com. Graduates “need to understand that many employers

will be turned off by their higher education,” he says. What’s more, some of the pay boosts typically associated with master’s degrees may vanish as state governments and school boards contemplate moving toward performance-based pay systems, from educationbased pay structures, says Mark Schneider, a vice president at the American Institutes for Research, a behavioral and social-science research organization in Washington, D.C. Administrative or policy jobs with state and local governments, which also tend to reward higher education with higher pay, aren’t as available or lucrative these days because of tight budgets, he adds. In many industries, trading in potential work experience for additional education could leave you short of certain skills and networking, says Ms. Huhman. Taking on Debt Another factor to keep in mind: More education usually means more debt. People who pursue a master’s degree end up borrowing 55% of their tuition, according to Finaid.org. And fewer employers are reimbursing tuition costs. Of course, a graduate degree can be beneficial in some situations. Career changers can use the degree to show they have knowledge of the new field. And a master’s may be necessary to qualify for certain higher positions. Some high-level marketing and business consulting positions require candidates to have an M.B.A., says Boston job coach Susan Kennedy. If you’re undecided, consult companies you’d like to work for and mentors in your industry about whether education or work experience will do more to advance your career, says Ms. Huhman.

LOVE & MONEY UPDATE | By Jeff D. Opdyke

Supporters and opponents of health-care reform differ over whether the measure will ultimately bolster—or undermine—Medicare. In the short run, this much is clear: As soon as 2011, people enrolled in the federal health insurance program for those 65 and older will see an expansion of benefits. But upper-income participants should prepare for higher premiums and, in some cases, higher taxes, too. For Medicare recipients, the new law expands benefits in two ways. The first concerns preventative care. Currently, Medicare recipients are entitled to one covered physical examination within 12 months of enrolling in the program. After that, they must pick up the tab for this service. But starting in 2011, Medicare will pay 100% of the cost of routine annual physicals. It also will completely cover the cost of preventative services such as glaucoma screenings for certain individuals, mammograms, pap smears and hepatitis B vaccines, according to the nonprofit Medicare Rights Center.

The legislation also does away with a gap in coverage under Medicare’s Part D plans, which cover prescription medications. Under Part D, most participants pay monthly premiums. In return, these plans cover 75% of the cost of prescription drugs, leaving the participant to pick up 25%. But after the total cost of a participant’s drugs reach a set amount per year—generally $2,830 in 2010—he or she falls into a coverage gap known as the “doughnut hole.” Once there, a participant is on the hook for 100% of the cost of his or her medications, generally up to $6,440 in total drug costs. At that point, catastrophic coverage kicks in, limiting participants’ outlays, typically to 5%. An estimated 14% of Medicare Part D participants fall into the doughnut hole. But under the new health-care legislation, this gap will gradually disappear. In 2010, participants who fall into the doughnut hole will receive a $250 rebate. Starting in 2011, they will instead receive manufacturers’ discounts and government subsidies on their medications. These dis-

counts and subsidies will gradually reduce the portion of drug costs that individuals in the doughnut hole pay—to 25% in 2020 from 100% today. (The discounts and subsidies will phase in at different rates depending on whether a medication is a brand name or generic drug.) For some Medicare recipients, the health-care legislation also will impose higher costs. Starting in 2011, individuals earning more than $85,000 a year—and couples earning more than $170,000—will pay higher premiums for Part D coverage. (While premiums are standardized under Medicare Part B, which covers doctor visits, premiums under Part D vary from plan to plan.) Others will be hit with tax increases. In 2013, individuals of any age with adjusted gross income over $200,000 a year— and couples with more than $250,000—will pay an additional 0.9% in Medicare payroll tax. The same group will pay a 3.8% Medicare tax on investment income, including interest, dividends and capital gains. Email: encore@wsj.com

Don’t Overpay on Social Security Taxes With the economy in a deep slump during part of last year, many people may have worked for two or more TOM employers. If HERMAN’S that includes you, watch out TAX TIP for a classic tax blunder that can cost you money. You may have had too much in Social Security taxes withheld from your paychecks from all your employers for last year. If so, you can claim the excess as a credit against your income tax. Social Security’s “Old Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance” program, or OASDI, includes a limit on how much of your earnings are subject to tax each year. For 2009, that amount, known as the Social Security “wage base,” was $106,800, up from $102,000 the previous year, according to the Social Security

Administration (www.ssa.gov). The increase reflected changes in a national average wage index. The Internal Revenue Service says the maximum amount all your employers should have withheld for 2009 was $6,621.60—which is 6.2% of $106,800. If more than that amount was withheld, you can get a credit for the excess amount on your federal incometax return. If you have already filed your return for 2009, you can file an “amended” return on Form 1040X. The IRS offers this example: Suppose you are married and file a joint return with your spouse, who didn’t have any gross income last year. During 2009, you worked for a company that paid you $60,000 in wages. That employer withheld $3,720 for Social Security tax (6.2% of $60,000). You also worked for another

employer and earned $55,000. That employer withheld $3,410 in Social Security tax. Thus, the total amount that was withheld by all your employers was $7,130, or $508.40 more than the proper amount. “Because you worked for more than one employer and your total wages were more than $106,800, you can take a credit of $508.40 for the excess Social Security tax withheld,” the IRS says in Publication 17, available at www.irs.gov. For 2010, the Social Security wage base remains unchanged at $106,800. However, all your wages remain subject to Medicare tax withholding.

I’m baaaack. Well, temporarily. For more than six years I wrote the weekly Love & Money column that appeared in these pages, chronicling the financial adventures— and misadventures—of me, my wife, Amy, and our two children. It offered a glimpse into the real financial life of a real American family. But after six years, I wanted to focus on new assignments at The Wall Street Journal. I’ve been gone for about 18 months now, and yet I’ve never stopped receiving emails from readers asking what’s up with my life. So, this is my occasional opportunity to provide an update. i i i First, the basics: Amy and I still live in Baton Rouge, I’m still at The Wall Street Journal and Amy still works as a hospital administrator. Our two kids—a son, 13, and a daughter, 6—are doing well. So much is the same, and yet quite a bit, at least financially, has changed. I guess the easiest way to sum up the past year and a half is this way: The Opdyke family has been acting like much of America. We’ve been hunkering down and rethinking our finances. Amy and I realize how fortunate we’ve been to still have our jobs. But the economic downturn shook us. I don’t think we—or the U.S. economy—are out of the woods yet. Will one (or both) of us be hit by layoffs at some point? We don’t know, and we don’t want to take any chances. So while we’re not predicting the worst, we want to be prepared in case it arrives. To that end, what have we done? The short answer is that we’ve been building a bigger cushion of cash and jiggering assets to protect ourselves in the event this storm isn’t actually over yet. A key move: We sold our lake house just as the housing crisis began to emerge, and stuffed every penny into a certificate of deposit. The house was a modest, affordable property

How the New Law Affects Medicare Since We Talked 18 Months Ago…

we’d saved for years to buy, on a lake where I grew up with my grandparents, and which Amy and I had hoped to retire to one day. But in these times, it still felt like a luxury, especially as the kids got older and found spending weekends at the lake house less and less exciting. That CD, in turn, adequately covers about 18 months of aftertax income in the event of job loss. We considered using the lake-house money to pay down the mortgage on our primary home, greatly reducing our monthly payment. But we’d rather have liquidity to cover many months of living expenses in an emergency. Reducing the monthly note on our house would do nothing to provide cash if a job goes away. Second move: To make the money in our checking account work as hard as possible, about a year ago I shopped every bank and credit union in town, looking for the best interest rates. I found a credit union offering 4.51% on checking, so long as we meet certain criteria—such as using our debit card 10 times a month. So, we switched banks, increasing our monthly interest payments from a mere $2 a month to about $100. Third move: No one has a clue where the stock market is going, but I’m confident that whatever the destination, the country’s biggest companies will survive the journey. To that end, we dumped many holdings to raise cash in our retirement accounts, and concentrated the remaining investments in big,

stable companies. And because I worry the government’s unhinged spending spree could undermine the U.S. dollar over time, I’ve redirected many of our investments into overseas markets, where stronger currencies are likely to rise. Fourth move: Several months ago, Amy and I spent a weekend away from the obligations of daily life and dissected every line item in our family’s monthly spending plan—justifying its existence, honestly assessing our true spending in certain categories, axing costs we deemed unnecessary. As part of that process, we’ve taken to tracking our weekly outlays on a dry-erase board stuck to the refrigerator. Jotting down the expenses allows us to instantly see how much we’ve already spent on, say, groceries or eating out. That’s information we rarely paid attention to previously, but which now provides useful data points in managing our budget. We know when we’re up against our spending limit in some category, allowing us to stop spending or shift spending from a lessimportant category. Either way, we no longer blow our budget. i i i It’s a cliché, but it’s true: Never let a crisis go to waste. Amy and I have used this crisis to re-examine our financial life and to effectively create our new normal. We reasserted control over what were lazy spending habits, and have made a game of challenging each other to stay within the bounds of our budget. We’ve bolstered our financial backstop, and in the process gained an added sense of financial security. I’m not saying every family should follow our lead; what Amy and I did was right for our circumstances. But I am saying that managing a family’s pocketbook is not a static affair. As your environment changes, you change with it based on what you see coming. That way, when tomorrow arrives, you’re already ahead of the game. Jeff D.

PBS opens a new page in ‘The Diary of Anne Frank’ JACQUELINE CUTLER

Zap2it

Ellie Kendrick stars in “The Diary of Anne Frank,” airing on PBS’ “Masterpiece Classic” on Sunday, April 11.

All too often when a movie is remade, we wonder why bother. It’s even more annoying if earlier productions were worthwhile. “The Diary of Anne Frank,” airing on PBS’ “Masterpiece Classic” Sunday, April 11, upends that notion. The film, premiering on Holocaust Remembrance Day, is nothing short of perfect. Newcomer Ellie Kendrick portrays Anne as precisely what she was: a volatile, smart, headstrong teenager. Of course we know what happens; Anne Frank has long been the face of the Holocaust, one girl representing 6 million murdered Jews. “I don’t think we tried to make Anne Frank into anything she wasn’t or adapt her into a new character,” Kendrick says. “She was a very modern kind of girl and a very intelligent and vivacious character. She could be annoying, and that’s what makes her such a normal teenager. That she had fights with her mom and sister makes her much more See ANNE FRANK, PAGE 2

‘ANNE FRANK’

PBS offers ‘perfect’ remake of classic poignant and effective; everyone has been through those experiences.” The trick to keeping us watching a story we know will end horridly is a tight script, perfect casting and a set that makes viewers feel the claustrophobia. We want to know these people from a more refined yet hellacious era. The Frank family shared the secret annex with the van Daan family, and Anne had to share her bedroom with a male family friend. They address one another formally, a respect born of necessity. Their dignity, tinged with the omnipresent terror that every creak in the house could mean instant death, is palpable in the film, which relies more on Anne’s diary than the previous productions. PBS acquired the film from the BBC, which spent two years persuading the Anne Frank Foundation to allow them to use long passages of the diary. Though the book is a part of so many curricula, Kendrick, who is studying literature at Cambridge, had not read it until she was cast. “I was really amazed and delighted by what I read,” she says. “It was incredibly engaging and witty and vivacious. I thought it would be a typical teenage girls read. The immediacy is just amazing.” “We are hearing exactly what she wrote and how she wrote it,” says Rebecca Eaton, the “Masterpiece” executive producer. Film writer Deborah Moggach spent time in the annex, which was the warren of rooms above the Amsterdam business of Anne’s father, Otto. The movie gives a genuine feel to how their lives were so constrained: not being able to talk while workers were downstairs, having a weekly bath and timing when the toilet could be used. Mostly, it gives a true idea of who Anne was. “They will understand that Anne was just a normal teenager,” Moggach says. “She was a normal kid like anyone else who had terrible, terrible circumstances. Her message of tolerance for people who are not like yourself, whomever they might be, is the most important thing in the world. Her message is sadly just as needed today as then.” “What we are hearing is fewer and fewer young people know what the Holocaust was and know who Hitler was,” Eaton says. “It is that much further back in history. We hope it will continue to keep that piece of history alive.”

Being unfaithful is so 2010 “So, you been following the celebrity news?” said my pal Moon Dimple. Don’t I always? “No,” he said. “As I recall, you usually say ‘celebrity news’ is an oxymoron and that anyone who does follow it is an oxymoron, too.” Indeed I do. I’ve never quite understood why I’m supposed to care about someone else’s divorce or who’s boffing what. “Don’t you mean whom?” Not necessarily these days. “Good point. That said, I think you’ll find this bit of celebrity news interesting. Jesse James is in rehab.” Who? “Jesse James. You know, the guy on the TV show ‘West Coast Choppers’ who makes all the wild, crazy motorcycles.” Heard of the show, never heard of him. Is Jesse James his real name? What parent would do that to a kid? Good thing his last name’s not Potty. “Why?” His parents probably would have named him Porta. Get it? Porta Potty? Bwahahaha! “Why do I bother talking to you?” I’m not sure. “Anyway, I thought it might amuse you to know that he’s in rehab.” Why would that amuse me? He’s a celebrity. Isn’t rehab part of the job description? “Yes, but he went into rehab after he got caught cheating on his wife – the actress Sandra Bullock.” He cheated on her? She’s gorgeous. “Not only did he cheat, he cheated with … at last count I think there was something like 47 women.” Energetic guy. But why does he need rehab for being a low-life cheat? “C’mon, man, keep up. That’s the big thing these days. Don’t you follow golf?” Not really. “After Tiger Woods got caught cheating, he went to sex rehab, and

now Jesse James is following suit, so you know what we got going here?” No. “A trend, my man! You know how people imitate celebrities in this country. If somebody famous wakes up groggy and puts his boxers on over his pants, it won’t be long before half of America is doing it. You watch — it’ll be the same with cheating. Soon any guy who gets caught cheating will check himself into rehab to have his ‘sex addiction’ cured.” You’re probably right. But are women going to buy that? “Not any woman I know. If I cheated on my wife and tried to blame it on a sex addiction, the only rehab I’d need would be for my fractured skull.” Me, too. “I guess there are legitimate cases of sexual addiction, though.” I suppose, but it’s funny how celebrities never discover that they’re addicts until after they get caught. You know what my wife would call that? “Grounds for divorce?” No, awful damned convenient. “Well, I guess that just proves she’s not a very understanding person.” Come again? “Well, if she were understanding she’d understand that addiction is an uncontrollable psychological condition.” Oh, she’s understanding, all right. For instance, she understands hooey when she hears it. She also understands guys trying to weasel their way out of trouble by calling an inability to keep it zipped an addiction. “Yeah, my wife’s like that, too. So pretty, yet so jaded. It’s a real problem. Maybe they could get some help for that. Like maybe there’s a rehab clinic for cynicism they could go to or something.” That’s a great idea. Why don’t you suggest that? “Yeah, right.” Why not? You chicken? “No, it’s just that I’m addicted to my unfractured skull.”
