I bought articles from an auction recently, among them hidden in a suitcase was a leather bag full of coins , in it there was canadians and americans coins dating from 1900 to 1970, some foreign coins and some medals and token, nobody had looked in this bag since many years, among the coins was this chinese coin wich i thought first was a token bought in china town, so i gave it to my 13 years old son who collect all kind of unusual coins and tokens, he did some researches in books and on the web and came back telling me it was an old chinese coin, and while coming on your web site i've seen on youre home page an article about a chinese coin found in Yukon, and i've notice mine was similar, i would like to know from when it dates, if it's worth something and how it came to be in the gathering of coins of an old Canadian old lady??
If you could provide me a link or something where i could get information on this coin it would be apreciated.

Ground experiments
The aim is to study chromosome damage in space caused by ionising radiation, which comes from the Sun or cosmic rays. Ionising radiation is strong enough to change the atomic structure of cells, so this experiment will be looking at the effect of ionising radiation at a genetic level. This experiment will use astronauts as test subjects but will not actually fly to the ISS. The research consists of analysing and comparing blood samples drawn from the astronauts pre-flight and post-flight. This experiment is linked to the GENE experiment. Principal Investigator: G. Obe (Germany).
This ground experiment is a repeat of the experiment performed on the Odissea mission by ESA astronaut Frank De Winne in 2002. It aims at predicting an astronaut's inability to stand upright (orthostatic intolerance) for 10 minutes after having spent a long time in a weightless environment. The predictions will be based on the measurements of physical parameters such as blood pressure, electrocardiograms, and brain blood flow (measured by ultrasound). The astronauts are tested pre-flight and post-flight in a ground-based lab using a computerised tilting table. Principal Investigator: J. M. Karamaker (The Netherlands).

It's that time ladies and gentlemen, the NBA draft. Where we're sure to be graced by Jay Bilas. Figured we oughta get an idea on the consensus out there of how many times Bilas will say "wingspan" during the draft?
There's 60 players actually selected, and there will be more players discussed in between picks.
I'm thinking he's going to get between 10-14 wingspan references out there. I was tempted to goto 15-16 but it's a tough call.
The over/under is 8 for all you compulsive gamblers. I believe that line doesn't include terms like "length," or "long." Perhaps Jay's cognizant of this internet sensation and will cautiously select his vernacular to throw us all off.
PS: Any volunteers who will be watching the entire draft who can keep track? Otherwise I'll DVR-it.

IRVINE, CA -- Star Trac announced that Steve Nero has resigned as the company's president and chief operating officer.
Nero will be replaced in those roles by Mike Leveque, Star Trac said in a brief press release on Thursday. The Irvine, CA-based company offered no explanation for Nero's resignation. Nero had been with Star Trac for six years.
"Steve has made a significant contribution to Star Trac's growth and expansion over the last six years, and we wish him continued success in his future endeavors," Star Trac Chairman and CEO Jim Doody said in a statement.
Leveque had been Star Trac's managing director for Europe and Africa and was based out of Star Trac's London-area headquarters. A Star Trac employee for 17 years, Leveque had been operating Star Trac's fastest-growing division, according to the company. He also has held positions in sales and finance.
"Mike has a long history of success at Star Trac, and I look forward to working closely with him during this transition," Doody said.

Twin Beach Players' Rumors
Four affluent couples gathered in a posh suburban residence for a dinner party to honor friends' 10th anniversary celebration find mischief surrounding the event.
There are no servants: How can the party continue? The hostess is missing. So is the host — the deputy mayor of New York City — who has reportedly shot himself through the earlobe.
Couples arrive in succession. The first to arrive discover Charlie Brock's injury and put him to bed. Their instinct is to help by concealing the liaisons that may have led Brock to attempt suicide. If that's indeed what happened.
And where is his wife?
The second couple to arrive wants to solve the mystery. The third couple, including Charlie's analyst, wants it all to makes sense.
The fourth couple, with political ambitions, would rather not be at another cocktail party, especially one with implications.
Lots of physical comedy, speculation, rumors and other absent characters thicken the plot.
Still more comic complications arise as these upper class couples attempt to save their reputations by concealing the evening's events from the local police and the media.
The plot resembles an old-fashioned game of telephone. As confusion and miscommunication mount, and the evening spins off into farcical hilarity.
The entire cast gives knee-slapping, side-splitting performances. Lenny Ganz, played by Jeff Larsen, is a hilarious natural. Lenny's wife Claire, theatrically played Eva Miller, rounds out Lenny's sarcasm.
The pace is frantically fast-paced, and the result just plain fun.
The stage is a living room with staircase, leading to two closed rooms with doors for slamming. A bag of Roll Gold pretzels serves admirably as a the main prop. Who cares? Simplicity works for Twin Beach Players' Adult Company.

School Choice Movement in South Carolina
I was in South Carolina yesterday testifying before a state committee in support of a great piece of education tax credit legislation. The turnout and energy down there was impressive.
The fight for educational freedom has dragged on for years in SC, but the movement seems to have grown in strength considerably over that period. Parents are now more organized, homeschoolers and private school groups are more integrated and active, and the votes are a lot closer.
More than 200 supporters showed up to support the bill and testify, and their stories were compelling and sometimes heart‐rending. Our public education system just doesn't work for everyone.
And when I say "doesn't work," I mean that a child with severe learning disabilities ends up unable to function in society or a child from a troubled background ends up in jail or dead. There are schools that are serving these kids successfully, and want desperately to help more. A tax credit system would allow them to expand and diversify to help all children reach their potential.
For others, the system doesn't work in ways less catastrophic, but it still isn't what's best for them. That's why all families should be able to choose the best educational environment for their unique child. Educated children are not widgets manufactured in a factory.
The fight for school choice brings out similar issues in every state, so I'll be blogging more on the hearing later on today…

A new book Anderdon; Some Folks Down the Road has been published about the pioneer history of Anderdon Township 1790-1920. Samples of the book are online at www.anderdon1812.com.
The township is in the southwest corner of Ontario, generally in the Amherstburg and Windsor area.
The author Mark Warren says that "The book itself is 429 pages of adventures, disasters, heartbreak and stories of great courage and determination. Images are from many local and international archives, including the Smithsonian Institution and Library of Congress in Washington, the Museum of Civilization in Ottawa, the Stark Museum in Texas, and the Archives of Ontario. These are matched by intriguing photos from family albums… over 100 of them! There are many newspaper clippings from (among others) the Essex Free Press, the Amherstburg Echo, the Windsor Evening Record and the Canadian Emigrant and Western Advertiser.
This is history, as well as genealogy. Anderdon had been a First Nations Reserve, so its gradual demise and the enfranchisement of its band members receive special treatment. The War of 1812 is covered, along with the Patriot Rebellions, and the American Civil War. Seventy-four immigrant families are traced in detail, and hundreds of surnames are mentioned in the text. The appendices contain official government documents, personal letters, accounts of land auctions, a list of homesteaders, crown patents that were issued and census information. There is a strong 32-page index".
You can look at the surnames mentioned in the book, there are area maps available for viewing, as well as samples from the book itself.

Jonathan Safran Foer
Eating Animals
New York: Little, Brown and Company 2009
Why do we behave morally? There's reciprocity and looking out for our genes. For many (most, I hope) of us there's a natural dislike of cruelty. We try not to be responsible for any extra suffering in the world. Humans also desire approval from others and usually being a scoundrel isn't good for your reputation.

I love Alpaca Sox. Now I know you have heard me say that about almost all of CEY yarns. But it's especially true in this case. Of course I am a sock knitter, so I have a special place in my heart for sock yarns. But Alpaca Sox is so much more than just a sock yarn. It makes amazing shawls and scarves, great trans-seasonal garments, lightweight blankets that are sure to become heirlooms (or hold it double to make a thicker, warmer blanket) and awesome hats. Can you tell how much I love it? Here are a few examples of some of the Alpaca Sox projects in our newest book – All Seasons.
Paramount, designed by Tian Foley, is a beautiful top down pullover.
This is a great trans-seasonal piece. You can wear it now as is. And then layer it over a long sleeve tee when the weather turns cooler (I know…it's hard to imagine that right now, but it will be here before we know it).
One of the things I love most about this piece is the shaping. Instead of doing traditional waist shaping, Tian placed a cable and rib section around the waist to pull in the top. Not only does it give a nice shape, it gives it some added interest – both visually and in the knitting.
She then did a mini version of the motif on the sleeves to tie it all together.
I personally am a big fan of top-down sweaters. I love that you can put your knitting on some waste yarn and try it on as you go. This ensures that you will have a perfect fit when you are done with your sweater and that the cable and rib detail will hit you in the right spot.
An added bonus to top-down sweaters? Minimal finishing! Usually there are a few stitches under the arm to sew together and weave in your ends and that is it!
Something else that I love – directional knitting. It takes knitting to a whole different level. And that is exactly what Susan Mills did with Catawampus.
Susan took the garter stitch scarf to a whole new level, by turning sideways, then sideways again, and then sideways once more!
The kettle dyed effect of the AlpacaSox and the striping of different colors really shows off the multi-direction knitting on this scarf. And the fact that she has you picking up stitches and knitting in different directions means…minimal finishing!
Of course these are just a couple of examples of how to use Alpaca Sox to make something other than socks. Here are a few more from past seasons:
|Clockwise from top left: Madame X, Astrid, Gabrielle, Wasabi Hat and Sky Chief
What have you knit in Alpaca Sox that isn't socks?
Knit on!

The ultimate gift is the gift of life and the World Wide Children's Foundation of NY definitely holds the torch. The Worldwide Children's Foundation of New York (WWCF) was granted its foundation status in 2002 and has been growing leaps and bounds since. The WWCF is committed to providing medical care and life-saving or life-altering surgery for disadvantaged children throughout the world. Alexander Conti, who is the Board Chairman of the Foundation, exemplifies altruism at its best. The foundation's slogan "Save a Life One Child at a Time" illustrates how the foundation gives back to the world and desperately ill children with no other means. The interview day came and as I entered the suite of Alexander located on Park Avenue in New York City his assistant directed me into him office. From meeting Alexander and being in his presence for only a short time, I felt his generosity and needing to help along with his warm demor.
What motivated and inspired you to start a children's foundation?
I have always believed that children are the world's future, or our most valuable asset. I wanted to make a difference in this world by saving lives. I believe this was my destiny. That was all the motivation I needed.
What does the foundation stand for? Tell me about the processes that occur once a child enters into the foundation's care?
The Foundation is called The Worldwide Children's Foundation of New York.
Our mission is to provide life-saving or life- altering surgery to children in need in the United States and throughout the world.
What are your goals and do you feel confident that you will achieve them?
The Foundation seeks the medical records of children in need, then has the Medical Advisory Committee review each case. Once an applicant has been approved by the Executive Board, we arrange for air fare for the child, and /or parents or guardian. We then have the family housed here in the U.S., while the child is operated on at one of the hospitals working with the WWCF of NY. When the child is cleared by the physicians, they return to their home.
After you decided to start the foundation, what were your next steps?
My goals for the WWCF of NY is to continue to do more children each year (approx. 3 – 4). I feel extremely confident we are achieving them. We needed to get our 501 ( c) 3 status, then proceed to develop officers, bylaws, a board of directors and our mission statement. The next step was beginning fundraising and working with the doctors on our board. Next, we needed to establish relationships with the hospitals to do the operations.
Have you been able to portray your cause on a global scale?
I believe we are working on expanding our marketing on a global scale through our board members and by forming alliances with other organizations across the globe.
Throughout the life of the Foundation, what has been the most difficult part?
The most difficult part has been maintaining and upgrading continually the wonderful board of directors we have and keeping our fundraising goals high, just like any other not-for-profit.
Was there ever a moment when you couldn't take the pressure and wanted to walk away?
It has certainly been a long hard road to get to this point (6 yrs. later), but worth every bit of it. The WWCF of NY is the most important accomplishment to date in my life, and my officers, Executive Director and board members are like my family, I love them all.
Looking back on everything you have been through, is there anything you would have done differently?
I think when you start from scratch there is always something you could have done better, I only wish we could go bigger and better much faster, but isn't that What we all want in life. Except, this is a charitable organization and who wouldn't want it to succeed.
What is the most rewarding part of your day?
The most rewarding part of my day as a co-founder and current chairman of the WWCF of NY knows that I made a difference in the world. The WWCF of NY with Gods help will be a legacy that will be around when I am gone. Each child that we save will be proof of that forever, what more could a person ask for in life? I am truly blessed.
What goes through your mind when you get the kids?
I want to see them healthy and happy. I want them to have the same chance and life we all seek. I feel like they all are kind of like my children, or little brothers and sisters. They are all so special.
Has there been a child that you were unable to help for one reason or another?
These are cases that we review that we cannot do for one reason or another, but generally we are doing heart operations, plastic surgery and orthopedic operations.
Do you find yourself becoming emotionally attached to these kids while in the Foundation's care?
Yes, I do. When I and my fellow members meet them at the airport, and see the child at the hospital before they go into surgery, then in the post-operation room. It is always very emotional watching the parents see their child wheeled down the hallway into the operating room. It is as near and dear to the human cause as I have experienced. None of us can keep from crying. It makes one appreciate what we are doing and why we need to continue doing it.
What do you fear most for these kids?
I fear that we cannot make them better. I feel for the parents who sometimes have sacrificed everything to get their child here, and in the end its in the hands of the surgeons and God. In my opinion God – the power of good wins however, and I have no more fear.
How has this Foundation changed your life?
The Foundation has made my life more complete. Life is not just about going to work and making money and obtaining as many material goods as possible. It's about giving back in some way, shape or form. My whole life has always been based on 4 words. Respect, Honor, Compassion and Passion. I believe I am living those four words with the WWCF of NY and am a better man for that. I consider myself the luckiest person on the planet to have had this opportunity.
Do you have kids of your own?
No, but some day I will.
Do you plan to start a family of your own?
Yes, when the right person and circumstances come my way, then I will know it is right.
Would you consider adopting any of the kids that you help if they had no family to care for them?
Yes, I would. No child should be without someone to love them and care for them.
If someone wanted to help and support your Foundation, how would they go about it?
They can go onto our website www.wwcf.org and donate directly or call us at 1-800-293-0370 and volunteer to help us with fundraising or in whatever way they can help. If you sponsor a child for 5 – 10k you can be involved in the entire process I mentioned earlier, but remember, you will fall in love with these children and your life will change as it has for all of us.
What does the future entail for the Foundation?
The future will entail seeing the WWCF of NY grow into one of the most successful not for profits in its category for children's operations. We will be doing more operations for children, and anyone who joins us will find it to be as it has been for me, "The single most important accomplishment of my life."
What would you like readers to know most about your efforts?
I think the readers should know that my and the WWCF of NY efforts will always be to strive for excellence. We will continue our mission statement, and will be around for a very long time.
You have definitely created something special and much needed in this country, what advice would you give someone wanting to start a foundation of their own?
My advice would be to assemble a group of people who are dedicated to making a difference. People who want to help and seek nothing in return. People like my board, officers and Executive Director, who are in a class of their own. Quite simply put, People helping People! God Bless You All.
Alexander is a true philanthropist who also dedicates his time and energy to many New York City based foundations and projects. Just this month, Alexander was presented with " Most Exceptional Volunteer" for the 2008 Northwestern Mutual Community Service Award along with a check for $25,000 presented to the WWCF. This alone ensures people to see how much work and dedication he brings to the foundation. As we continue to speak, I can see how much joy giving back to the community and the world bring him. Alexander takes pride in giving life a second chance to children who need it. With this said, Alexander and the WWCF have inspired my partner, Carlene Junjulas and our company, HOUSE of DCD, Inc to design fashionable t-shirts for the foundation where part of the proceeds go directly to the foundation.

Today, Bantam Press releases the UK edition of Jasper Kent's third novel in "The Danilov Quintet" series, "The Third Section". "The Third Section" is one of the titles I am looking forward to read this year, since I enjoyed a lot "Twelve" and "Thirteen Years Later", but until I have that chance I am happy to have Jasper Kent as my guest on the blog with the occasion of "The Third Section" UK release day.
The Same – But Different
by Jasper Kent
Sound familiar?
It's an answer that many an author must have heard. And the question? It comes after a novel has done reasonably well; a question that every author asks his (or her) editor: What next? The answer – the same, but different – is not plucked from the air. It's a reflection of the views of the readership. If they wanted exactly the same, they could just read the book again. On the other hand, given that they liked the first book, what interest would they have in something totally different?
The author turns away, his lips intoning the counter-question: How different? He rarely bothers to ask the editor; the answer is obvious: Just different enough.
I think I err more towards the different than the same. As the name suggests, there will be five books in The Danilov Quintet, the last separated from the first by 105 years. If at the end things weren't different from the beginning, then history would be failing in its duty. But if nothing remained the same, history would be unfathomable.
Just now we're at the half-way point. From today you can (and should) buy the middle book of the series – The Third Section – and when you hit page 237 (out of 474) you will, in some sense, be exactly at the middle. Temporally, you'll be a little earlier; 43 years from the beginning, 62 from the end. By the end of the book a conception and a death will have marked the true midpoint for the Danilov family. The first two books had one hero – the last two will have another.
The Third Section has a heroine.
Tamara Valentinovna Komarova, the central character of The Third Section, is the same, and is different. She has the same love of her country as Aleksei Ivanovich Danilov; the same faith towards her friends – often misplaced; the same cunning; the same hatred of the voordalak. But, unlike Aleksei Ivanovich, she is a woman – a woman in imperial Russia. She cannot rely on her physical strength, or even upon the respect of her fellow Russians. To defeat, or even survive, the enemy that Aleksei once faced; she can only fall back on her wits, her beauty and her guile. The problems she faces are the same – or at least similar; her solutions to them are quite, quite new.
Vive, as they must surely say in Russia, la différence.

UH Manoa Marching Band among nation's top fiveUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Office of the Chancellor
HONOLULU - The Marching Band at the University of Hawaii's Mānoa campus is one of only five bands chosen for top national honors by the College Band Directors National Association (CBDNA).
"I've always felt that our UH Marching Band was one of the best in the country, and I'm happy to know that my feeling is shared by our nation's professional band directors," says Interim Chancellor Denise Eby Konan.
UH Marching Band Director Brandt Payne will address and present a videotape of the UH Marching Band at the CBDNA national conference later this month at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
"I'm excited because this gives much-deserved national recognition to our band's 240 students and outstanding music program at UH Manoa," said Payne.
The UH Marching Band was chosen for the honor from among entries across the country. UH entered a tape of its November 11, 2006, performance of Latin music and dance staged at the Rainbow Invitational Band Festival at Aloha Stadium.
Other selected university bands are from Auburn, Clemson, Middle Tennessee State, and Texas State.

The group has reportedly posted on Islamist websites that they will give money to anyone who kills an American soldier in the next six months.
Al-Qaeda in Yemen has begun to offer bounties for anyone who kills U.S. soldiers and officials in their country, including the U.S. ambassador. The group has reportedly posted on Islamist websites that they will give 5 million rials (a little more than 23,000 U.S. dollars) to anyone who kills an American solider in Yemen within the next six months and also offered three kilograms of gold for the death of the United States ambassador to Sanaa, who is currently Gerald Feierstein.
Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, as they are known in Yemen, has become the most violent and most heavily pursued branch of the terrorist organization in the last several years. The American military haslaunched numerous drone strikes in the country, killing dozens of terrorists, but leading to increased anti-American sentiments and more calls for reprisals. The U.S. embassy in Sanaa was among the more heavily damaged after a outbreak of protests and attacks against embassies around the world broke out in September.

Getting Mobile Right: Six Steps to Success in Government
Mobile technology can be a powerful tool for both productivity and citizen engagement, but there are implementation pitfalls to avoid.
In a previous column, Jason Salzetti and I discussed the enormous potential of mobile technology to engage citizens as partners in transforming public services. Mobile government also can be a powerful productivity booster for the public sector. But the path from good idea to demonstrable results--especially when it comes to implementing a new technology across government--is littered with implementation failures.
I want to outline a half-dozen steps that government agencies can take to realize the potentially enormous benefits of mobile while avoiding the missteps of previous technology implementations.
Rethink business processes: To realize a big productivity impact from mobile tech, governments will have to change the work. Mobile can reach its potential when public agencies use it to redesign their business processes and eliminate steps altogether. Take Boston's Street Bump app, which uses the accelerometers of drivers' smartphones to identify potholes and automatically report their locations via GPS. The app, in theory, could eliminate the need for engineers to painstakingly survey the city's 806 miles of roadway and gather the data, accomplishing the same thing at less than half the cost. Technology deployed for a particular purpose can be modified for other situations: for instance, tweaking Street Bump's algorithm to report where cars often speed through intersections or to predict where crosswalk paint has faded or lights are burnt out.
Define the problem you wish to solve: Productive organizations don't "go mobile" for its own sake. They have a compelling business objective that mobile solutions can further. Government agencies should analyze how mobile can address their specific challenges. When Michigan's Department of Natural Resources launched its mobile app for last-minute fishing licenses, it was solving a problem--the delay in recouping its money when licenses are purchased from third-party vendors. The agency is partially funded by user fees and cannot afford to let these fees linger in other people's hands. The app made the licensing process quicker and more convenient for both government and citizens.
Adopt a "mobile-first" approach: A mobile-first strategy means making mobile tech a priority, instead of an afterthought, to fully capitalize on the medium's growth and capabilities. It means leading with mobile apps and products, rather than treating them as enhancements or add-ons. When U.S. Environmental Protection Agency CIO Malcolm Jackson announced an agency-wide mobile-first policy, he emphasized that mobile access is rapidly becoming the primary way in which people seek government information. "A lot of people cannot afford personal computers or Internet service," he said, "but they can afford smartphones, and they do not leave home without them." A mobile-first policy should not apply only to new applications but should also require infrastructure designed to replace rather than duplicate existing processes.
Focus on user experience: Mobile apps are used differently than traditional computer applications--while moving or standing (rather than sitting), often in areas with limited bandwidth or intermittent connectivity, and sometimes in harsh environments. This requires careful attention to user experience and design. Involving citizens and frontline workers in the design process can provide valuable end-user insights for more effective applications. Factors such as ease of use, interface, appeal and functionality will play key roles in determining an application's success. The approach should be to design apps that help large populations of regular users and are built around specific experiences.
Prototype, test, prototype again: In the "waterfall" development model that once dominated the world of software development, processes flowed steadily downward, from requirements to design to implementation to testing, and finally ending at maintenance. However, this meant that changes after initial deployment often proved cost-prohibitive. To overcome this, developers shifted to a model that allows for constant evolution through recurrent testing and evaluation--agile development. Agile assumes that we rarely get the design right the first time. Mobile-government implementation should look more like what we've termed "beta government": rapid iteration and scaling to meet shifting needs and demands, through small prototypes and pilots, staged rollouts and allowance for small failures in an attempt to avert larger failures later.
Make mobile a source of security, not a threat to it: When it comes shifting to mobile in government, the discussion quickly turns to the security risks associated with the rapid growth of mobile computing, including possible data leakage over unsecured Wi-Fi networks and privacy breaches due to mobile malware. Instead of being a threat, however, a mobile device can act as a powerful security key with the ability to verify identity, transmit encrypted data or enable access to a particular site or service. The private sector has already capitalized on this trend. For instance, Bank of America's SafePass program provides an extra layer of protection to online banking by texting a six-digit, one-time access code to the user's registered mobile device. It's easy to imagine governments using similar mobile authentication techniques to securely deliver personally identifiable or sensitive information.
Government agencies aren't the only organizations trying to adapt to mobile technology. Many private companies struggle with this as well. But if mobile is a challenge, it is also an opportunity: a chance for the public sector to start closing the productivity gap, reassess its business practices, boost its efficiency and renegotiate its relationship with the public it serves. Used right, mobile can transform government's capabilities.

WASHINGTON, July 10 (UPI) -- President Obama (or at least, his wranglers) made the strong choice of an impromptu stop at Franklin's Barbecue in on the way to catching his flight out of town Thursday.
The president, sidling up to the counter at the Texas landmark, apologized to the people at the front of the very long line as he skipped the wait, according to the travel pool report.
"Because these folks were in front of me, I'm buying for them," he told the workers behind the counter.
The president ordered around 8 pounds of meat, 6 pounds of which went for Bruce Finstad of Houston and his daughter Faith Finstad of Austin, the lucky pair at the front of the line, and their two seated companions.
"Hold on -- how many folks are y'all feedin'?" the president joked as he pulled out a roll of $20 bills, then asked if his credit card still worked when the order exceeded $300.
The order included 3 pounds of beef, 2 pounds of ribs, a half-pound of sausage and a half-pound of turkey for the Finstads, but the pool reporter wasn't able to get the president's order.
After chatting with diners in the packed restaurant, President Obama headed on to catch his Air Force One flight back to D.C., barbecue in tow.

Facebook Gets a Multibillion-Dollar Tax Break
By Peter Coy on February 15, 2013
It hasn't drawn much attention, but Facebook's first annual earnings report contains an accounting gem: a multibillion-dollar tax deduction for the cost of executive stock options and share awards.
Even though Facebook (FB) reported $1.1 billion in pre-tax profits from U.S. operations in 2012, it will probably pay zero federal and state taxes—and even receive a federal tax refund of about $429 million—according to a Feb. 14 statement from Citizens for Tax Justice.
The tax-research and -lobbying organization says companies such as Facebook should treat stock options the same in their reports to shareholders as they do in their tax filings. Citizens for Tax Justice calls the tax footnotes in Facebook's Jan. 30 financial statement "an amazing admission," but there's nothing illegal about the breaks the company is claiming. Companies like Facebook are allowed to treat the cost of non-cash compensation, such as stock options, as an expense that reduces profits, essentially the way they treat cash compensation such as salaries.
Can anyone say — "Crony Capitalism"?

This page has been updated to include our SEO test links. I'll be checking back here soon for a P.O.C.
The majority of settings for the Workflow extension are found in the Content - Workflow Plugin.
You can find these settings by going to the Plugin Manager, and clicking the the Content - Workflow plugin.
Settings are defined as follows:
Approval Notify Users: Users selected here will recieve email notifications of staged content.
Allow Users to Enter Notify Emails: When set to yes, this presents a text-entry field on the workflow screen that allows for the ad-hoc entry of one or more email addresses to be included on email notifications of staged content.
Can View Staged Versions: Specifies which users will be able to review and use staged content from the Versions window below the article.
Always Notify?: Hides the checkbox allowing the optional notification of staged content.
Always Notify On New?: When set to yes, emails Approval Notify Users when new content is created.
Unpublish New Articles?: When set to yes, will force new articles to be unpublished. Note that users with sufficient access can use Joomla's Article Manager to later publish that same content.
Unpublish Only From Usergroup: Works in tandem with "Unpublish New Articles" and forces unpublishing only from the selected user groups. Does not support custom Joomla user groups.
Stage All Changes? A global setting that will force all article changes into a staged state regardless of the workflow window settings or display.
Always Stage From Usergroup: Forces staging of articles from the selected user groups.
Display on Front End?: When set to yes, will also enable the Workflow button for front-end users. Otherwise displays as a disabled button.
Popup Window Width/Height: Allows for setting the dimensions of the Workflow popup window.
If you want to add, for example, a contact form that will send an email to you or your location's email address you can follow the steps below using the Locator Component alongside Fabrik, a form generator component.
This is covered in two videos:
Part 1:
Part 2:
Step 1: Install, configure Fabrik and set up your Form. You have to install the Fabrik Component and the Fabrik Joomla Content Plugin. Be sure the Fabrik Content Plugin is published, it does not publish by default.
Create your form, and use this code in the form submission plugin.
$db->setQuery('select value from #__location_fields_link where location_fields_id=10 and location_id=' . JRequest::getInt('id'));
return $db->loadResult();
Create your fields and include a special LocationID field that contains this code in the "Default" option:
return JRequest::getInt('origid');
Ensure your Elements (fields), Forms and Tables are all published in Fabrik.
Step 2: Set up your locations to include an Email and the Fabrik plugin code as shown in the video. Your description field for your location might look like:

Sample Description

{fabrik view=form id=2}

Step 3: Set up your menu items to "Trigger Content Plugins" and also set "Display only Introtext" to "Yes". You may also optionally alter the position of the {description} tag in the "Item address format" so it appears last in the list.
That's it!
While this isn't officially supported, it's quite possible by editting the combined template.
See components/com_locator/views/directory/tmpl/combined.php This file includes both combined_item and combined_map_item to create the combined view. You'll find this block of code that outputs the results:
Move that block of code past the map output and it will appear on the right of the map as shown here:
This is currently not supported within our software. Instead, use your hosting company's mail utilities to create an alias email address (sometimes called a reflector). That way you can set the donation software to use that alias and control the alias recipients via your hosting company's mail services.
International charcters must be from a UTF8 encoded file to import properly. Various versions of Excel are not the best tool to ensure UTF8 encoding. Notepad++ is a free application that will allow you to open your .CSV file and convert it to UTF8. Then save your file and retry your import.
Visit http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ for more information.
When the map doesn't show, this almost always means you have a Javascript issue *above* the Javascript the Locator inserts in your page to initialize the map.
3) CSS may hide your map. Similar to #2, your template's style may happen to have rules in it that hide your map. We can't provide detailed advice on that matter here, but you may contact your template developer or investigate using your browser's built-in Element Inspector to see the CSS affecting a given element.

GROTON — One of the many signs of a good team is its ability to turn what is billed as a close game into a laugher.
On Thanksgiving morning, the Groton-Dunstable football team did just that. What was supposed to be a showdown for the Mid-Wach C league title turned into a blowout as the Crusaders used three touchdown passes from Mack Eberhardt and 133 total yards and three scores from Matt Manning to down previously unbeaten Tyngsboro 34-6 and claim the Colonel's Cup for a third consecutive year.
"We prepared for this game for almost two weeks and the kids came out and played with desire today," said Groton-Dunstable coach Derek Asadoorian.
"Our execution on defense was outstanding today and I feel like we took away a lot of things that they were trying to do. Offensively, we moved the ball efficiently and came up with big plays in big spots. The game already had special meaning as it was Thanksgiving against a rival, but it was even bigger with the league title on the line and the kids came out and did almost everything we asked them to do. It is just a big day, probably the biggest our program has ever had and it is real special."
Coleman Hill got the Crusaders off on the right foot, picking off a pass on the game's fifth play and setting up his team's first score of the day. Starting at their own 45, Groton-Dunstable took 10 plays to find the end zone. Eberhardt was the catalyst, accounting for all but eight of the yards and capping things off with an 11-yard scoring strike to Manning on a screen play on third-and-goal. Corey Romich added the extra point to make it 7-0.
On the ensuing possession, the Tigers came up with their lone scoring drive of the day. A 35-yard kick-off return by Chuck Keenan put the ball on the Crusaders' 44-yard line and Tyngsboro quickly went to work, using their ground game to move the ball. Keenan was the catalyst, carrying five times for 27 yards, including the final four on a toss left that went for a score. The PAT was no good, but it was now a one-point game.
Groton-Dunstable went back to work on offense and extended their lead with another methodical march. A 10-play, 66-yard drive was once again highlighted by Eberhardt, who broke loose for a 23-yard gain on the first play from scrimmage. After a run for no gain and a pair of incompletions, the Crusaders faced fourth-and-ten from the 17 and it seemed as if Eberhardt was going to be wrapped up for a sack, but the junior quarterback escaped and found a wide-open Quintin Forbes in the flats. Forbes made the catch and walked into the end zone for a touchdown and following Romich's kick, the lead was extended to eight at 14-6.
A three-and-out by the Tigers was followed by Groton-Dunstable's third score of the opening half. Manning carried the ball on the drive's first five plays, picking up 40 yards to move the ball down to the 25. On the sixth play, the Crusaders went to the air and Eberhardt tossed a bubble screen into the left flats. Forbes was there to make a spectacular one-handed catch and followed a wall of blockers into the end zone for his second score of the day. Romich's kick was true as the advantage was now 21-6 heading into the intermission.
Midway through the third quarter, Groton-Dunstable added to their lead, turning a short field into another score. A four-play, 44-yard drive showed off the balance of the Crusaders offense as Eberhardt and Forbes hooked up for a 19-yard connection, while Manning handled the ground work. The senior fullback, who picked up MVP honors, carried three times for 25 yards, including a nine-yard burst up the middle for a touchdown to make it 27-6.
Manning would cap off an outstanding day early in the fourth quarter. Behind the line of Matt Plausse, Charles Hill, Ben Lutkevich, Ronnie Peck and Sam Yeadon, along with tight ends Joey Steward and Alex Dhionis, who were instrumental in Groton-Dunstable holding 302 to 109 advantage in total yards, Manning broke loose for a 48-yard TD off the right side. Romich put home his fourth extra point of the day to account for the final as the Crusaders improved to 10-1 on the season with the win.
"Matt and Mack had big days for us and we have become used to them providing offense for us," said Asadoorian. "But without the play of the offensive line, we wouldn't have this type of success. There are just so many pieces that need to work together in order for a team to have success and right now all of those pieces are working together. Quintin came up with some big catches; Coleman's interception early on set the tone. There are so many kids that stepped it up today. We are going to celebrate this for a while, but now we have to get ready for Tuesday. We got out first league title, now it is time to get our first playoff win and that will be the only focus for us now."
