As such, the results you get from working with a financial planner may be as much your responsibility as they are those of the planner. Here are some tips to help you prepare for your financial planning engagement: Set measurable financial goals. Set specific targets of what you want to achieve and when you want to achieve results. For example, instead of saying you want to be comfortable when you retire or that you want your children to attend good schools, you need to quantify what comfortable and good mean so youll know when youve A reached your goals. Understand the effect of each financial decision. Each financial decision you make can affect several other areas of your life. For example, an investment decision may have tax consequences that are harmful to your estate plans. Or, a decision about your childs education may affect when and how you meet your retirement goals. Remember that all of your financial decisions are interrelated. your financial situation periodically. Financial planning is a dynamic process. Your financial goals may change over the years due to changes in your lifestyle or circumstances, such as inheritance, marriage, birth, house purchase or change of job status. Revisit and revise your financial plan as time goes by to reflect those changed so that you stay on track with your longterm goals. Start planning as soon as you can. Dont delay your financial planning. People who save or invest small amounts of money early, and often, tend to do better than those who wait until later in life. Similarly, by developing good financial planning habits such as saving, budgeting, investing and regularly reviewing your finances early in life, you will be better prepared to meet life changes and handle emergencies. Be realistic in your expec- tations. Financial planning is a new treatment for middle ear infections with tubes Now hear this: A new treatment for middle ear infections with ear tubes combines antibacterial and antiinflammatory medica- tions. Middle ear infections strike millions of children each year. Children between the ages of six months and three years old, particularly if they attend day care, are the most susceptible. Ear infections usually occur after a cold or other respiratory infection, causing swelling of the tube that drains the middle ear into the throat. Some children, particularly younger children with a shorter or Water restrictions are still in place, residents must remember to conserve to avoid problems later By Myrna Trauntvein Times-New- s Correspondent Nephi residents should not water from 10 am. to 6 p.m. each day. Water restrictions we had in place last year still apply, said Randy McKnight, city administrator. Residents of the community, as the water is beginning to flow through secondary system pipes, need to know that drought conditions still exist. The city council wants to alert residents that water still needs to be conserved, whether it comes from the culinary system or the secondary system. Residents are urged to conserve water in the landscape hottest hours of the day (10 a.m. until 6 p.m) to minimize evaporation. Water the landscape in cycles by reducing the number of minutes on the timer and using multiple start times spaced one hour apart. This allows the water to soak into the soil and avoids runoff. Water the lawn only when it needs it. If footprints are left on the grass, it is usually time to water. Turn the sprinkler system off during or after a rainstorm and leave it off until the plants need to be watered again. Consider installing an automatic rain shutoff device on the sprinkler system. Install drip irrigation systems for trees, shrubs and by: flowers. month during daylight hours. Check and fix any tilted, clogged or broken heads. Although watering at night is recommended, problems with the system wont be noticed unless the system is seen in operation. Avoid watering during the heads.

It cannot change your situation overnight; it is a lifelong process. Remember that events beyond your control such as inflation or changes in the stock market or interest rates will affect your financial planning results. Realize that you are in charge. If you're working with a financial planner, be sure you understand the financial planning process and what the planner should be doing. Provide the planner with all the relevant information on your financial situation. Ask questions about the recommendations offered to you and play an active role in decision making. Avoid watering the lawn on windy days. Try to add more days be- tween watering. Allowing the lawn to dry out between watering creates deeper roots and allows deeper and less often waterings. Place a rain gauge in the backyard to monitor rainfall and irrigation. Set the kitchen timer when watering by hose. Test soil moisture with a soil probe or screwdriver before watering. If the soil is moist, dont water! Watch out for broken sprinklers, open hydrants, broken pipes and any other significant water losses in the community. Be sure to notify the property owner or the water department of the problem. Make sure the water coming out of the sprinklers is not misting and drifting away in the wind. This is usually caused by too high of pres- sure if necessary, install a pressure reducer on the sprinkler line. Turn back your automatic timers in the spring and fall. Water only once or twice a week during the spring and fall. Right now, in April in Central Utah, it is not necessary to water at all unless a garden is being planted and new seeds need to be wet down after planting. less slanted passageway between the middle ear and throat, have repeated ear infections that require the insertion of ear tubes, called tympanostomy tubes, to help ventilate the ear. Ear tube insertion is the most commonly performed pediatric surgical procedure in the U.S. Each year, about 2 million children have to have ear tubes inserted due to repeated ear infections or to help drain fluid from the ear. The middle ear is a grapesized, cavity located behind the eardrum. When an infection occurs here, it causes the middle ear to fill with fluid and sometimes pus. Pressure from this buildup pushes on the eardrum, causing pain. Because the eardrum cannot vibrate, your child may also experience a temporary hearing loss. Without proper treatment, chronic middle ear infections can result in longterm damage of the eardrum or the bones of the middle ear, and even permanent hearing impairment. Even temporary periods of hearing loss in young children can cause delays in speech development and learning. Now, a newly approved topical medication for patients with middle ear infection with .tubes Ciprodexe Otic Suspension combines the potent antibacterial activity of ciprofloxacin with the properties of dexamethasone.

Preparing for a doctors visit could pay off What holds greater value, preparing for a doctors visit before it occurs, or seeking health information after the fact? A new survey reveals that only about one in three people visit doctors offices armed with information theyve already gathered, while close to two in three people seek out information after visiting their doctors. There is tremendous value in preparing for a doctors visit. Studies show that doctors base up to 80 percent of their diagnoses on what patients tell them about their symptoms, history and lifestyle. Preparing in advance for a trip to the doctor helps a patient feel more confident in articulating symptoms and raising issues or questions to the doctor, particularly in situations in which the patient may not understand the doctors advice. All patients should be informed about your health. The survey of 1,000 Ameri- cans also reveals that the majority seven in 10 people leave their doctors office wishing they had asked more questions. Of these, one in four said that they were too intimidated, afraid or embarrassed to ask their doctors questions. Patients should collaborate with their doctor about their health care, because thats good medicine for everyone involved, fear is something that can be easily overcome if a patient takes the time before the visit to prepare, rather than arriving unprepared and distracted. d treatment show that 4 it can clear up middle ear infections in children with ear tubes quicker than ear drops that contain just an antibiotic. The side effects of this new treatment, such as ear discomfort, residue in the ear, and irritability, are mild.
