Resident and nonresident aliens worry about the complexities of their tax filing requirements. However, these U.S. aliens can usually refer to the guidelines of their respective residential status and easily fulfill their filing obligations. This is not the case for individuals who are both residents and nonresidents of the United States or dual-status aliens.
A Dual-status alien is taxed separately for the period he was a resident and for the period he was a nonresident. In general, according to Code Sec. 871 and Reg. §1.871-1, a resident alien is taxed on income derived from all sources, even those that are from outside the United States. On the contrary, a nonresident alien is only taxed on income derived from the United States and certain foreign income that is effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States. For example, this means that if you received interest income while a nonresident from an Australian bank that is not effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States, you are not required to report that interest income in filing your U.S. taxes.
However, in regards to determining taxable income for dual-status aliens, it is important to consider exemptions provided by the Internal Revenue Code and the provisions between the United States and the tax treaty country. As an example, even though interest income from a U.S. bank that is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business is normally taxable for nonresidents at a flat rate of 30% or the lower treaty rate, it is exempt from taxation per the Internal Revenue Code.
The form you are required to file depends on whether you are a resident alien or a nonresident alien at the end of the tax year. According to Publication 519, U.S. Tax Guides for Aliens, you must file Form 1040 if you are a dual-status alien who is considered a resident on the last day of the tax year. In this case, you are required to write "Dual-Status Return" across the top of the Form 1040 and attach a statement that shows your income for the part of the year you are a nonresident. Such statements must include your name, address, and taxpayer identification number. For the purposes of filing the nonresident statement, Form 1040NR or Form 1040NR-EZ can be used, but the words "Dual-Status Statement" must be written across the top of the form. The same procedure applies if you are considered a nonresident at last day of the tax year, except that now Form 1040NR or Form 1040NR-EZ is the main return and Form 1040 is the statement for the part of the year you are a resident.
Unfortunately, filing as a dual-status alien subjects you to various restrictions:
Standard Deduction – you can itemize deductions but you are not allowed to take the standard deduction.
Head of Household – you cannot use the head of household filing status.
Exemptions – for the part of the year you are a resident you can take exemptions for your spouse and dependents, but limited to your taxable income (figured without deducting personal exemptions). However, for the part of the year you are a nonresident, there are special rules if you are also a resident of Mexico, Canada, or South Korea. These special rules also apply if you are a student or business apprentice from India or a U.S. national.
Joint Return – You cannot file a joint return if you are a nonresident unless you are married to a U.S. citizen or a resident alien and you choose to file jointly (MFJ). If you are married to a U.S. citizen or a resident alien and you do not choose to file jointly, you must file Married Filing Separately. You cannot take advantage of the lower tax rate for MFJ and Single taxpayers.
In spite of the above restrictions, dual-status aliens are still entitled to certain credits that apply to resident aliens. These credits include the Foreign Tax Credit, Retirement Savings Contributions Credit, Adoption Credit, Child and Dependent Care Credit, and the Child Tax Credit.
Please note that the Child and Dependent Care Credit as well as the Adoption Credit cannot be claimed by a married dual-status alien unless he chooses to file a joint return with his U.S. citizen or resident alien spouse. The same provision applies to the Education Credits, Credit for the Elderly or Disabled, and the Earned Income Credit.
It is important for foreigners to be familiar with the taxation of dual-status aliens before deciding to live in the United States, or in the case of U.S. residents, before deciding to move to a foreign country. Knowing the filing requirement for dual-status aliens will help U.S. aliens plan ahead in regards to their investments or other sources of income. This will help avoid future problems with the IRS and even the U.S. immigration itself should the U.S. alien consider becoming a citizen of the United States in the future.

My Take on Google Inbox
I got my acceptance today and started working with it right away. It is certainly new. I am not opposed to new I understand this will take some getting used to.
It is as you would expect. Items are bundled on the screen, you can add new bundles if you like and set reminders to deal with e-mails later. You can pin e-mails as well, so when you're "done" with other e-mails those still show or you can switch to only pinned items.
Then there is this "Done" thing. When you swipe an e-mail to the right it is marked as "done". It isn't deleted, it's simply moved off your inbox. There is a section called Done that you can go to and see all the e-mails you're done with. If you were to browse to your gmail on your computer, those e-mails are still in your inbox taking up space. So, ultimately, this is the end of deleting e-mail. Your inbox will fill up to eternity unless you choose the e-mails, go to a sub-menu and choose to move them to the trash. For me, this is very inconvenient. I use "swipe to delete" all the the time on my mail program. I don't want my inbox or server mailbox to be filled with garbage that isn't needed anymore. This is not yet a deal breaker but I don't look forward to having to visit my gmail and mass-deleting e-mails once a week. Oh, and I looked in the Inbox settings to see if I can swipe to delete and there is no option.
All in all, it's pretty and fairly easy to use. I like the idea of setting a reminder to deal with something later or pinning it until it is dealt with. My method is to leave e-mails "unread" and right now I have 27 unread e-mails many of which I will probably never deal with. Pinning them may force me to do something about them, or setting a reminder will allow me to kick the ball down the road a bit until I'm prepared to deal with it.
I am eager to see how it grows.

So Mad at Time Warner Cable!
I am writing this post from my phone so bear with me. The reason why is that we have no internet.
I thought I was ahead of the game by scheduling my move for my internet service for the 31st early. I scheduled it around the 22nd of May. Everything was in place and I was even given a great rate change.
Then on the the evening of Memorial Day, our internet shut off; the 26th. I called to ask what was going on and the man said we were moving and it was turned up at the new house. I asked why they would do it 5 days early and he said someone got the days mixed up. I would have to talk to the move dept. who was off since it was memorial day.
Tuesday I called and he said the only way I could get service turned on at my old house was too cancel my appointment for the 31st. I asked him, how hard is it to hook up the equipment. He told me it was very easy all I had to do but plug it in. So I told him go ahead and cancel the appointment turn service back on at my old house and I would do it myself on the 31st.
That is when I got the surprise then I would lose my great rate that I was given before. He put me on hold for a long time and came back with the rate that was 7 dollars more per month and he said "well its almost what you had before." Yeah, thanks.
Now fast forward to yesterday. It was after 10 p.m. When I tried to plug everything in and nothing worked. So I called Time Warner and she said "Oh I will turn up your service now" and when she did still nothing worked. She told me that there had been no service at our house since 2010 and its very possible the lines have been cut. And that I should really have had a service tech come out to do the installation. Of course I was livid because I wanted a service tech to come out but I had to cancel that appointment.
So now, we have a service tech come out end the earliest date is this coming Thursday after I am going to be out of town. So the first possible time we can probably get everything up and running is Sunday when I get back. We are going to miss an entire week without our phone (VoIP) and television which we get online.
I would switch service to a new company but unfortunately Time Warner has the best service and speeds for this area.
I at least I am not paying for this week, so that is good. I wish I could get more credits but I don't think I can.

It's been a while...
We recently closed on a new house and are moving in at the end of May. That's cool.
I'm considering posting my "book" that I started writing here in blog form since I may never publish it. I'll never have the time to write the rest of it.
Okay then, thanks for looking in.

My Vlog is dying
I started out with like 20 viewers on each video but the last few are 10, 9, 6. So, I guess I'm getting pretty boring. I already know my life is uninteresting, is that it? Should I just quit? My mom likes my vlogs! (of course)
If you want to check them out, see it here.

Raining and Pouring
- My wife falls roller skating on Sunday. She needs an ambulance to get to the ER. Broken Forearm (both bones) and Cracked Tailbone. She has a massive knot on the back of her head but no concussion. Doctors estimate she'll be in a splint all summer. Pain may not go away for years.
- Youngest of eight, our little girl, is sick with a fever. It's a bug that has slowly been going around the family. It's been a rough couple days with her.
- My thirteen-year-old closed the door on my three-year-old's fingers causing massive deformation and swelling. We thought something was broken; spent another several hours in the ER Monday.
- With my wife unable to do basic movements without pain, she is unable to do the things she does all day including taking children to the doctor, etc. (We have some help today for that.)
- My 40th birthday is on Saturday, we were supposed to have a party. My wife insists we still will have it but we need to do massive amounts of cleaning before then. It sure looks bleak that we will get that done so that may not happen. Friends want us to postpone but with our busy lives, I don't imagine we could have it another time if we postponed. At least not for several months.
- The way our insurance works, we pay out of pocket until we hit our $2,600 deductible. I am estimating that we probably hit that, however, that means I have to take money from our vacation fund to pay for it. We have been planning and saving to go to Washington, DC for three years. I am concerned we either won't make it or it will be severely cut short.

Can IP Addresses "Go Bad"?
I'm having this problem at home and at work and it's driving me crazy. I don't know exactly what forums to post to because it affects Windows and Mac machines so it's not anything specific to one platform.
I'm referring to IPs that simply decide that it will no longer work. Here is the scenario...
I have a computer, server, device, whatever. This machine as been running fine for weeks, months, years. Then one day NOTHING, no speako. What am I talking about? Ping is one. Let's say I have three computers:
What will happen is that one day 192.168.1.5 will no longer "talk" to 192.168.1.10 but it will "talk" to .20. 20 can see both 5 and 10. And 10 can talk to 20, but not 5.
It is that strange. I could have 100 computers on the same network, same subnet. And one day computer A will no longer talk to 30 of those computers, but the other 70 will talk just fine.
It's not a firewall issue. If I were to change the IP address of .5 to .6, it will suddenly talk on the network. if I get a fourth computer and change its IP to .5, it won't be able to talk to .10 just like the other computer. It's specifically that IP address, nothing else.
Over time the IP address remains "blacklisted" weeks or months later it still will be unavailable. Restarting networking equipment doesn't fix it. Restarting the computer doesn't fix it. Flushing ARP tables doesn't help.
This is the strangest problem I have encountered ever. I don't know what to do.

My Own Tribute to Paul
Erin went to Franciscan University like us but we didn't really know her. Holly recognized her so we struck up a conversation with them one day and we all became immediate friends. The Deemers were so inviting and friendly. We had countless afternoons and evenings, Sundays and Holidays together. At the time they had two children just like us. Two girls, we had two boys.
Paul and I would go out for beer and wings every chance we got. Paul set the limit, however, that he would never leave the house before the children were in bed; 8:30pm. Family was always first, #1, and I respected that. It was inspiring to me even then because I would have been like, "Honey, I'm going out, can you put the kids to bed?" But no, he always made sure he prayed with this children, gave them blessings and put them to bed before leaving the house.
Our Jonathan was born in 2001 and we asked the Deemers to be his God parents. Within a few months of that they moved away to Ann Arbor, Michigan but we vowed to keep in touch.
Paul and I both worked online and we chatted often on AOL Instant Messenger. One day he says to me. "Tom, Findlay, Ohio is about 1 1/2 hours from you and the same for me. What if we met there at a place called Fricker's and have beer and wings?" I was all in. Of course, as you can imagine, we could not leave the house until the children were in bed, even then so we would leave and get to Fricker's at 10:00pm. We would stay there and talk, eat, and drink, and then head home about 1am. Sometimes it would be as late as 2 or 2:30am which would put us home about 4am. But it was worth it!
Paul was always a friend to me. He sought me out many times to get together when the time had been too far between visits. We would get on the phone shortly after leaving the house, talk all the way up, talk while we visited, and then talked all the way home.
Things in my life that Paul has inspired in me are so numerous. I would like to list them all but I will no doubt forget them. My online name, "Tomnibus" was his idea. He said that I had so much information in my head that I was like a big Omnibus. So he called me Tomnibus.
Paul was an Actuary and Chief Financial Officer. I would go to him whenever I had financial questions he has talked me into and out of many many things. I am so grateful for his knowledge.
Paul is the reason why I became the Director of IT at the Columbus Museum of Art. I was sitting in a cubical in 2006 as a consultant writing code when he e-mailed me to say he was named Vice-President of his insurance company. I thought to myself, "Wow, this guy is a year younger than me and already this successful, I have to do something with my life!" That very day I had a call from the Art Museum and I jumped all over it.
He helped paint my house for "work equity" so we could buy it. I helped him move a huge pile of dirt to his backyard. The wheel barrow in our garage was his that he left behind for me when they moved to Michigan. Erin and he introduced us to "Fiesta Chicken" that we had on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
We were preparing to get together for a visit in Findlay one October evening when I received a text message from Paul. He was sick, throwing up, back pains. Thought he had a stomach bug. He had to cancel, "Maybe we can look into next week." I was sad but okay, it wasn't be the first time we had to cancel. Over the next few days I didn't hear from him. I e-mailed him and he said he had to talk to me but wanted to call me and he would soon. I patiently waited. A few weeks went by and I tried again. His e-mail back was simply, "Call me....". I called him and he went on to tell me how that night he got so sick, the next day Erin took him to the ER and there was something wrong. By the end of the weekend they had diagnosed him with Esophageal Cancer and not only that, it was in his lymph nodes and his liver; Stage 4.
I started to cry, he would have none of that. Over the next 16 months we talked, e-mailed, it became less over time. We did get to meet one time during his treatments. It was a good evening. After a bit it seemed he was in the clear. But then things got worse. I got an e-mail from him saying it was coming back faster. He said he wanted to see me but he would contact me.
A couple months went by, I asked him how he was doing, the e-mail back was: "Not good, we should talk." We never got to talk. Just before Christmas Holly had this feeling that things were going very badly. We contacted Erin, asked if we should be dropping everything to come up. She said, "Well, you shouldn't drop everything but we should plan a visit."
It was a perfect day for me. I got to talk to my best friend. I asked him if he was ready. He said, "yes". We shared a beer. It was wonderful and I thank God for that gift of just two hours with him. We drove home and I learned the next day he had gotten worse, unable to speak or stay awake for very long. Sunday the Lord took him to Himself. At the time of his death, I was having beer and wings celebrating my son's 3rd birthday. How amazing is that?
Paul taught me the value of family and family life. Sadly, I don't know if I followed his example over the last few years but I am turning over a new leaf. Holly and I were inspired by his love for his family that we're going to strive to make major changes in our family. Spend more time with the children, put them first. We're going to need some help, Paul, I'll be asking for your intercession.
I haven't read this whole thing over again so I apologize for any dis-jointed or rambling that I did. I feel that I wasn't able to explain everything this man has been do me. I don't think anyone will ever know. Paul is the kind of friend you find once in a lifetime. I am blessed to have had the time with him that I did.
Paul Benjamin Anthony Deemer ~Requiescat in Pace~
In a recent homily our dear Fr. Bill was commenting on the parable Jesus told about His coming like a thief in the night. We will "know not the day nor the hour." However, he said, if we are faithful in prayer and trying to follow God in our lives, He will send us the help that we need.
A little over a year before Paul's cancer diagnosis he had the same dream three times, in which he felt himself looking down on a scene where myself and our children were visiting the site of his death- it was clear that we were going on without him. A great sorrow from those dreams kept coming back to him, and he grappled with what that might mean. It led him to take care of some practical things, just in case his family should be left without him someday.
Paul never spoke of those dreams to me, until he was admitted to the hospital on October 22, 2011. From that moment he had a sense that this was the event that God had given him gentle warning of. Although filled with great sorrow, he prayed with Christ in His Passion, "My heart is ready, O God; My heart is ready." Paul never stopped praying, along with all of us, for his recovery. He never stopped going through any treatment the doctors thought might help. In fact, the Wednesday before his death he could hardly walk, but he courageously made the heroic effort to get to the Karmanos Cancer Center in Detroit, in the hope that he might still qualify for the clinical trial they were setting him up for. When they had to turn him down, he very quickly began to deteriorate. He was very concerned that we know he was not giving up, just letting go. It was time- this was God's will. When we spoke of Venerable Fulton Sheen's prayers for him he simply said, "I think he wants to talk to me face to face."
We are so grateful for the prayers of so many people, and we are certain that those prayers granted us our first miracle, his initial amazing recovery- a whole year of wonderful time to spend with Paul- a last vacation and camping trip, last Birthdays, Anniversaries, Feast Days, baseball games, walks in the woods, bike rides...
On Sunday, January 13, 2013 Paul received Holy Communion and the Anointing of the Sick from Fr. Bill Ashbaugh. Shortly after Paul's family arrived his breathing became labored and we tried all we could to make him comfortable and at peace. At 3 pm, even though he could barely speak, he called for me. When I let him know I was there he made the sign of the cross to the best of his ability and folded his hands. So I gathered the children in and we began the Divine Mercy prayers and prayers for those in their agony. Shortly thereafter Fr. Gerald Gawronski arrived and anointed him again, as his condition had worsened. He prayed for Paul and read aloud some of Paul's favorite Psalms. As he took his final breath I told him that I loved him; that Rose and Catherine and Anne loved him; that John Paul and Benedict and Fulton loved him; that baby Teresa loved him; that his parents and brothers and Grandmother loved him. Then he gave one final deep breath, and gave up his spirit to God. Moments later, Fr. Bill began the 6 pm Sunday Mass at St. Thomas, offered for Paul.
How Good God is. He has not missed one blessing for Paul and for us. I am sure He has not abandoned us now, but has great good for us. After all, He is Our Father.
God is Love.
Paul's Final MessageShortly after his death, we found this in Paul's notebook...
"As we have come to the sunset of my earthly life, we gather for my Funeral Mass. I want to take a few moments to briefly reflect on the last 18 months of my life. As Shakespeare said, "When sorrow comes, it doesn't come in the form of one or two spies, but it comes as a whole battalion." This was definitely true for me. But as St. Paul said, in times such as these grace abounds all the more. I would like to thank the countless Catholic families who brought us meals over the past year. I would also like to thank the countless people who prayed for me, organized novenas, and had dozens of Masses said for me. I am truly humbled by the immediate and sustained outpouring of support from our local Catholic community.
In addition I would like to thank James Petcoff, owner of Conifer Insurance, for providing such staunch support for me from the moment I called him from my hospital room to let him know I was in deep trouble medically. That support allowed me to go through the past year without worrying about finance or insurance. Thank you Jim, you are a fine person who does the right thing even if not convenient.
I would also like to thank Dr. Philip Stella and the whole oncology group at St. Joseph Mercy who took such good care of me.
I would like to thank Fr. Gerald Gawronski, Fr. Bill Ashbaugh, and Fr. Dennis Brown for all of the spiritual guidance provided over the last year. The countless Masses celebrated in my house when I was ill, the many times of bringing me Holy Communion, and the countless hours spent discussing the spiritual aspects of what was happening to myself and my family all were tremendously helpful for navigating a time of great pain and sorrow.
And lastly, I thank you for coming to my funeral. Hopefully there is plenty of incense. My wish would be for it to look as though the fog had just rolled in. After all, incense symbolizes prayer rising to heaven. Please pray for me."
Scripture passages, and quotes from the Saints. It signified for him the attitude he must have during the time of trial.
Lead Thou me on!
The night is dark, and I am far from home—
Lead Thou me on!
Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene—one step enough for me.
Shouldst lead me on.
I loved to choose and see my path; but now,
Lead Thou me on!
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will: remember not past years.
Will lead me on,
O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone;
And with the morn those angel faces smile
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.
Because we live in a world where position is determined economically,

Tea flasks banned at Wimbledon over terrorism fears
If you were hoping to sip a nice cup of tea at Wimbledon while watching the tennis, you may have to re-think your plans. Organisers have banned tea flasks because of concerns about terrorism.
Any one heading into the All England Club will have their tea flask confiscated. It comes in response to the Boston bombings last year when a pressure cooker was used as a weapon. Speaking to The Telegraph, Caroline Fiennes, a philanthropy adviser said:
"I have always thought it rather delightful that one can take in food and drink. I've always taken a flask of tea but this year you can't take them in, so I had to check mine in the left luggage before security — tea and all. Disaster."

Not surprisingly the dog's owner was shocked to see who had saved her precious labradoodle, adding: "Andy was sitting in the car and she just went, 'Oh my God'."
Speaking to BBC Radio Five Live earlier this week Andy Murray said:
"I met the owner and she was happy I'd picked it up. "The dog was pretty strong, I don't think it really wanted me to grab it by the collar and put it in the car but thankfully the dog was fine and it's all good."

Cervix that bleeds easily
On Health & Drugs & Medications » Oncology & Cancer
1,838 words with 1 Comments; publish: Sat, 15 Dec 2007 13:46:00 GMT; (90062.50, « »)
Hello, I posted on another board previously but I was wondering if I would get more responses here. I have been experiencing postcoital bleeding for over 4 years. Tests were negative for all STD's and infections and my last 4 pap smears have been normal (prior to that I had moderate dysplasia which was treated with LEEP). I recently had a colposcopy and the dr. said she didn't see any abnormal cells but I did have a "friable cervix" that bleeds easily upon touch and is very vascular. She applied silver nitrate to it, but once again I experienced bleeding after sex the other day.
From doing research on the internet, it seems as though a cervix that bleeds easily is a symptom and not a disorder in itself. Has anyone been told they had a cervix that bleeds easily and tested negative for all other possible causes? If anyone has any info regarding this, I would appreciate it. I heard it could be a symptom of cervical cancer so now I am afraid that my Dr. could have missed i, but then again, it may be more common than I think and I am just worrying too much. Thanks for your help!

- hi relyt
I have similar prob to you. My doctor and gyno says i have cervical erosion (along with endometreosis but no link discussed) although is nothing to do with being eroded and the condition is entirely normal (something to do with the way the glandular cells grow downwards? ) !!!! Text books will tell you that this normally causes no cymptoms but in some women they produce an increased mucus discharge and occasionally the delicate cells may bleed easily when touched or during vigorous sex.
I was told that it is not a pre-cancerous condition but it can mask symptoms and results of pap tests where cancer may be occurring.
If I find anything more usefull I will post.

Roseman not main reason for Eagles' woes
Les Bowen, Daily News Staff Writer
Posted: Saturday, November 10, 2012, 1:23 AM
I'm about to assert something really unpopular.
In fact, I'm not quite sure how I can top this, unless I show up Sunday at the Linc in a Tony Romo jersey, wearing J.D. Drew batting gloves and carrying an autographed Sidney Crosby hockey stick.
Here's the thing: When news broke earlier in the week that the Eagles had extended general manager Howie Roseman's contract upon the departure of Joe Banner in June, I felt sorry for Howie. Fan frustration is at its zenith; from the Eagles' viewpoint, there could not have been a worse time for such news to emerge. A month ago, it would have been a note at the bottom of a story. But somebody who did not wish Roseman well knew exactly when to play that card, and within a day or so, we had a poll up on Philly.com with 4,390 people voting that Roseman should not have gotten a contract extension and only 313 saying he should have. That's 93.3 percent to 6.7 percent. I think Mitt Romney did better than that in some North Philly precincts.
Yes, this has been a brutal season, and yes, it seems the Andy Reid era has run its course. Yes, among the reasons the Reid era seems to have run its course is that the 2010 and 2011 drafts were paltry, and the Eagles' attempts to restock through free agency have been about as successful as attempts to restock through free agency tend to be in the NFL. That would be: not at all.
Roseman bears some responsibility there. A lot of responsibility. But I'm pretty sure he knows that. And I think he learns from his mistakes, costly as they might be.
I was struck by this trait when we sat down during Senior Bowl week in Mobile, Ala., last January, at the start of the 2012 draft process. Roseman openly acknowledged he'd reached for need, particularly in the 2011 draft, and vowed to approach 2012 differently. Everybody who grades such things loved the Eagles' 2012 draft. The rookies are struggling along with everybody else right now - it would be pretty unusual if they weren't - but in the long run, I sure think Fletcher Cox, Mychal Kendricks and Brandon Boykin are players. I don't know what the deal is with Vinny Curry, who can't get on the field, but in training camp, he looked like a player, as well. Ditto Nick Foles, of course,
Here's the other thing: The day of the all-powerful coach who runs every aspect of the organization is over in the NFL. Yes, technically, Andy Reid has had final say with the Eagles, but on personnel, he has relied a lot on Roseman (and on Tom Heckert before that). Andy might pull the trigger, but he pulls the trigger after being told, "Here is why this might be our best option."
To expect the Eagles to nuke NovaCare, hire a GM and a coach this winter is unrealistic. Would the new GM then hire the new coach? Would there be anyone left with any familiarity with the personnel? Do you want Jeffrey Lurie making these hires, with no guidance?
It never made sense that Roseman would leave when Reid left. As to how many years he has ahead on his deal, who cares? There is no executive salary cap. If the new coach comes in, seems to know what he's doing, and develops the opinion over the next year or 2 that Howie is an inadequate GM, make a change then. I have no idea how much Roseman makes, but I doubt it's more than Demetress Bell ($3.25 million this season). Down the road, you can ditch him, or expand or contract his duties as results warrant.
In the offseason, Roseman came across as someone willing to look at new ways of doing things, constantly evaluating what worked and what didn't. He did not exude the "we know what we're doing here, you just are incapable of understanding our brilliance" vibe the Eagles have given off for at least the last decade.
I'm interested to see what his take is on this season, and how to move forward. I think it might be clear-eyed and incisive. And I doubt he thinks it's all someone else's fault.
Midseason grades
Didn't do a midseason report card yet for the first time in the 11 years I've covered the Eagles. Most years, it's a more interesting exercise; there has tended to be more suspense about where the team might be headed, whether the quarterback is playing well, and so on.
This year, I think everybody knows what an Eagles report card would look like. In case you were really missing that feature, let's do an overview:
Quarterback: D
Running backs: B
Offensive line: F
Tight ends: D
Wide receivers: C
Defensive line: D
Linebackers: D
Secondary: C
Special teams: D
Overall: D-
Shady situation
Eagles coach Andy Reid noted Friday that LeSean McCoy still has a persistent cough from the flu-like illness that sidelined him Wednesday and Thursday, but McCoy was a partial practice participant Friday and will play Sunday against the Cowboys.
McCoy said he's been resting and consuming fluids the past few days.
"I just was under the weather, struggling these last couple days, but I feel a lot better now, [was able to] get out there and run around a little bit," McCoy said.
McCoy acknowledged he was coughing during practice and felt "a little bit woozy."
It's not ideal to miss the major prep days of Wednesday and Thursday, but McCoy said he knows the Cowboys "really well" and "I'm not a rookie - I know my assignments."
Like most running backs, McCoy has played before without a full week of practice. Still, given the moving parts in the Eagles' injury-stricken offensive line, practice reps are valuable.
McCoy's all-time best running day came against Dallas last season, Oct. 30, 2011, when he ran 30 times for 185 yards in a 34-7 Eagles victory at the Linc. In fact, seven of McCoy's 12 100-yard rushing performances have come against NFC East opponents.
The Cowboys are again expected to be without their top rushing threat, DeMarco Murray.
Right guard Danny Watkins (ankle) will miss his third game in a row. Dennis Kelly remains the starter there . . . Michael Vick said that he and center Dallas Reynolds continue to split the protection calls, officially, but that Vick has been making most of them lately . . . Running back Chris Polk will miss the game with a turf-toe injury Polk said he suffered in practice Wednesday . . . Wide receiver/punt returner Mardy Gilyard (hamstring) remains sidelined . . . Vick was asked whether he thinks younger players understand what's at stake, particularly for older players. "That's the question - do the other guys, the young guys, understand what's at stake?" Vick said. "Not just as far as our careers, but for this organization and winning. I'm not thinking about next year. I'm not thinking about what's going to happen. I'm thinking about the game, because that's what's most important. We live in the now; you can't live in the past and you can't live in the future."

les should go back to writing about hockey. the eagles need to clean house. unfortunately, lurie won't fire himself, but no one else's job should be safe. howie's had 3 years to learn on the job, and his grade is a big, fat F, so school's out. i'm sure joey nickels will take him back in cleveland, he needs someone to get him coffee.
Have you SEEN the rookies this year? Are you kidding me? This draft was gold and you want to fire him when he just had his best draft? WTF?
Posted 10 November 2012 - 08:18 AM
the only place anyone's seen vinny curry is on an inactive list
Have you SEEN the rookies this year?
mychal kendricks has completely regressed the past 2 games
you were saying, mrs. roseman?
Posted 10 November 2012 - 11:01 AM
This hasn't been a team under Roseman it's been a collection of players who don't play well together. Despite improvement it would be dumb for Lurie to trust the future of the franchise to Roseman's decisions. But quite frankly Lurie doesn't seem to have the appetite to do what's right here.

FEDERAL WAY, Washington, March 7. THE second full day of competition at the men's Pac 12 swimming championships featured some likely NCAA title contenders doing just enough to earn wins for their schools, and break some longstanding meet records.
Southern California's Cristian Quintero set the first record of the night, posting a 1:32.81 to break Nathan Adrian's five-year-old mark of 1:32.98. Quintero also claimed a personal best to mark his first swim under 1:33. Teammate Dimitri Colupaev placed second with a 1:33.46, just seven tenths off his personal best, and California's Trent Williams placed third with a 1:34.01, beating his lifetime best of 1:34.60. Quintero's swim was extra special in that he became the first swimmer in 39 years to win the 200 and 500 freestyles two years in a row. Washington's Robin Backhaus last did it in 1974 and 1975, according to information from Southern California's sports information department.
Kevin Cordes took down Damir Dugonjic's meet record of 51.41 in the 100 breast with his 51.23 to win tonight. Cordes took the race out in 24.42, the exact time he split when setting the American, U.S. Open and NCAA record of 50.70 last December. Cordes, sporting a beard this week at the meet, had a little bit of company in the opening half of the race, with Cal's Chuck Katis, Arizona's Brad Tandy and Southern California's Andrew Malone all under 25 seconds. But no one could match Cordes' blistering final 50 yards, as his 26.81 was the best of the field by 1.2 seconds. Katis finished second with a 52.69, just two tenths off his personal best, while Tandy was third with a personal best 53.14. Malone took fourth with a 53.23.
The remaining three individual events showed some impressive times that portended some great competition in three weeks. Josh Prenot of Cal cruised through the 400 IM to win with a 3:42.20. It gives him an automatic NCAA time in the event but is still about two seconds slower than he swam at the 2013 NCAA meet to place fourth. Cal went 1-2 as Adam Hinshaw touched in 3:44.00, while Stanford's Max Williamson placed third with a 3:44.47. Arizona's Michael Meyer still holds the fastest time among Pac 12 swimmers with a 3:41.73 from the Texas Invite.
Giles Smith, the top-ranked swimmer nationally in the 100 fly, posted a 45.92 to win in a tough battle over Cal's Tony Cox. Cox took the race out hard, touching in 21.03 to Smith's 21.28. Cox settled for second, though, with a 46.01 that is eight hundredths slower than the automatic NCAA meet standard. Less than a second separated first through eighth, with Marcin Tarczynski (46.42), Alex Coci (46.50), Maclin Davis (46.57), Connor Black (46.61), Seth Stubblefield (46.63) and Ryan Murphy (46.86) rounding out the top eight.
Murphy came back for another tough battle, this time in the 100 back. Stanford's David Nolan, the reigning NCAA champion, led the field at the halfway point with a 22.06 split. Murphy, just .28 behind, rallied to take the win in 45.59 to Nolan's 45.66. Both have been faster, with Murphy claiming a 45.34 that still stands as the national high school record. Nolan's 44.99 from the NCAA meet still holds as his personal benchmark.
Arizona is the top-ranked team in the nation in the 400 medley relay with their 3:03.73 from the Texas Invite. Tonight, the Wildcats won with a 3:05.68 to hold off the California Golden Bears, who were second in 3:05.95. After a 47.11 from backstroker Mitchell Friedemann, Cordes pulled off a 50.81 breaststroke split to negate Murphy's 45.81 backstroke split for Cal. After a 45.54 butterfly leg from Tarczynski, Cal was just one hundredth of a second behind Arizona going into the freestyle leg. Tandy's 41.96 outsplit Tyler Messerschmidt's 42.22 to give Arizona the win today. Both teams are likely to be faster at the NCAA championships, but tonight's swim marks a five-second improvement this season for the Bears. Stanford was a distant second with a 3:09.10 to also earn a place at the NCAAs in the event.
The men's diving competition took place last week during the women's Pac 12 meet, and in a major upset, Riley McCormick of Arizona State won the 3-meter event with 439.70 points over reigning NCAA champion Kristian Ipsen of Stanford, who collected 437.05 points. Arizona's Rafael Quintero placed third with 419 points.
California continues to lead in its quest to start a new dynasty in the Pac 12 conference, holding 545 points to Stanford's 471. The win in the 400 medley relay put Arizona in third place with 415 points to Southern California's 393. Utah (196), Arizona State (192), UC-Santa Barbara (125) and Cal Poly (113) round out the placings after tonight's competition.

Economic Outlook - january 2008
The impact of blacks on the state economy should grow by more than a third between 2004 and 2009, according to a study done by the Frank Hawkins Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise at UNC Chapel Hill and funded by the North Carolina Institute of Minority Economic Development. But if Tar Heel businesses dont wise up, gains by blacks could end up in other states, says James H. Johnson Jr., a study co-author and professor of entrepreneurship at Carolina.
You're projecting 34% growth in five years?
Thats right $44.7 billion to $60 billion.
That seems pretty optimistic for any part of the economy.
North Carolina is a magnet for the migration of middle- and upper-class African-Americans retiring back to the state. Were also assuming that black businesses will continue to grow.
What was growth in the five years before?
We did 1990, 2000 and 2004. Total economic impact in 1990 was $19 billion. It was $37 billion in 2000 and $44.7 billion in 2004.
That's 21% in four years. So you expect growth to accelerate?
Well, migration is accelerating.
In which parts of the state economy is the black impact strongest?
Education and health services. Twenty-seven percent of blacks are concentrated there. Manufacturing has 17%; wholesale and retail trade, 11%; leisure, about 9%.
Which hold the most potential for growth?
Health care. Weve got an aging baby-boomer population thats going to have all kinds of health-care problems.
How well do Tar Heel businesses capture black spending power?
We have an enormous leakage $5 billion of consumer purchasing power out of the state. Weve got to figure out how to forestall that leakage.
What causes it?
In many communities, goods and services that match the consumer purchasing preferences of African-Americans do not exist, or the quality of goods isnt there. Or it could be that people are mistreated, so they vote with their feet.
How has the role of blacks in the state economy changed in the last 20 years?
Weve had greater growth in white-collar occupations. Weve had greater growth in the entrepreneurial community still not up to standards with whites and other groups but pretty rapid growth. A lot of the people who are coming back to this state start businesses.
What have been the main barriers to black economic growth?
We have an enormous crisis in American public education, particularly impacting African-Americans. There are more African-American males in prison than in college. Weve got to do something with K-12 education to assure equality of access to educational opportunities.
Have any new barriers cropped up?
Many African-American businesses grew because of preferential procurement programs and the like. Those programs are under legal challenge. If these businesses are to prosper, weve got to help them go global and compete without relying on minority set-aside programs.
Youve found that each Hispanic resident, on average, costs the state budget $102 in health care, education and correctional services. The number for blacks is $420.
Corrections are 50% of the cost for blacks.
You suggest entrepreneurial training for ex-convicts because theyre unemployable.
A lot of these guys end up in prison because they were entrepreneurial. Ive taught in the prison system. Some nights, I forget where I am. It feels like Im in my MBA class. These guys understand strategy and marketing.
But can you trust that these guys want to go straight?
Well, if youve been in 18 or 20 years, its pretty clear. They have had a lot of time to think about this stuff. Drug dealing isnt all its made out to be. Nobody likes watching their back every second.
Have things ever been better, economically, for blacks here?
Things are better for a segment of the black population. But there is a very large population of folks who have been left behind. Some people benefited from the changing opportunity structure in the 70s and 80s. I was one of them. What I worry about most is the kids that are in the K-12 system now. I frankly dont think many of them have a shot.

I am trying to find aderium app on android market.
Its not there (or I am blind). Where can I get it?
I am trying to find aderium app on android market.
Its not there (or I am blind). Where can I get it?
Hi Bill,
Thanks for the reply. I am sure this will come back to me and make me look completely stupid, but I just cant find it.
But as per attached screenshot I visit market.android.com and type aderium in the search bard in the top right.
I get 9 hits.
1 is Bitri and the others are all LiveWallpaper.
No aderium, and searching for zimbra gives other apps completely unrelated.
I checked on the aderium website and didnt find much there. Only for iPhone.
I should have mentioned that my search was on the phone itself but here's the shot from the web search. I can't imagine why it's not working for you.
Hi Alex,
I can recommend two solutions for Android and Zimbra.
1. Moxier Mail
2. Touch Down
Booth work very stable.
Hi guys,
thanks for the new suggestions. Will try those.
re searching for the aderium app, I have searched from phone and PC. No joy. Maybe its because I am in Kenya......
Thanks anyways.
Nitrodesk Touchdown - it's an excellent product (I have no association with them except as a satisfied user).

7 Critical Documents for Freelance Designers
Most designers go into freelancing because of their love for creative work and the opportunities that are available to help clients. The business-related details almost always take a back seat to the creative work, and many freelancers wind up learning from their mistakes about the importance of certain aspects of running the business.
You can save yourself a lot of time and trouble by simply having access to a few key documents that can be continually re-used on your client projects. In this article we'll take a quick look at some documents that are critical to freelance designers. If you've been freelancing for a while, hopefully you already have them. If you're just getting started as a freelancer, make sure that you don't overlook the importance of these documents.
1. Web Design Contract Template
Probably the most important document for any freelance designer is the contract. Most designers have learned the hard way about the importance of contracts, and if you have done any reading at all about running a freelance business I am sure you have read many times about the importance of a contract.
Although collecting a percentage of the payment up front can help to weed out shady clients, having a signed contract is really the only way to effectively protect yourself. In addition to just having the contract, it should be a contract that clearly states the specifics of the project. This includes the details of exactly what you will be providing (along with sometimes covering things that are not included), how much you will be paid, and at what stages payment will be due. You may also want to include details about what is required of the client, for example if you need to get content from them.
The cost of legal services is one of the main reasons that many designers do not use contracts, but spending a little bit to get a good contract can save you time, headaches, and more legal fees involved with trying to solve a dispute later without a contract. The basics of contracts for web design projects are often very similar, so you don't need to get a contract custom drafted for each project. You can purchase a contract template, download one, or hire an attorney to draft a template that you can use over and over again with only minor adjustments.
2. Website Maintenance Contract Template
In addition to having a contract for providing services for designing or re-designing a website, it's also a good idea to have another contract for providing on-going maintenance services. Almost every freelance designer provides some type of on-going services to clients, and in these cases the typical project-based contract is not likely to be sufficient.
The maintenance contract should provide a description of the services you will be providing, as well as an explanation of how the client will be billed (An hourly rate? A flat rate per month?)
3. Design Brief
The design brief is a document that is given to the client at the start of the working relationship to help the designer get more familiar with the client and what they need. It will ask some basic questions about the company and it's products/services, as well as some questions about the project at hand. The answers to the questions will help you to get a better understanding of the client and to know how you can help them to make the project a success.
If you have a design brief template you can quickly send it off to new clients or potential clients, minimizing the time that you need to spend on this stage of each project. You may want to customize the questions from time-to-time, but generally they are pretty basic questions that could be applicable to all of your clients without requiring changes.
4. Proposal
When you are ready to make a pitch to a potential client in attempt to secure the project, a proposal template can come in quite handy. With a proposal template you can break out the details of the project into line items so that it shows the client exactly what is involved and what costs are associated with each part of the process. Most clients appreciate this transparency, and it also can help to prevent "sticker shock" that happens when a client sees a higher price than expected.
Additionally, the proposal template also provides an opportunity to present a positive brand image. Whether you are sending a PDF version of the proposal or a printed proposal, having a document that includes your logo and branding helps to present a professional image.
5. Invoice
The invoice is obviously a critical document because it is needed in order to get paid! There are a lot of web apps out there that help to create and manage invoices, or you can just do it on your own. Some freelancers use simple Excel templates for invoices, or you can use something that will look a little better with an Illustrator or InDesign file. Like the proposal, the invoice template also provides an opportunity to use a branded document.
6. Project Completion Document
It's also a good practice to have a simple document template that can be used to get the clients approval of project completion. The purpose of this document is to show that all of the required work has been completed by you, and that you and the client both agree that the project has concluded. It is a simple document, but it can help to prevent cases where a client claims that you never finished the work or that they did not approve of the way that the project was completed.
7. Stationery
If you are doing any printing or mailing, stationery or letterhead is also important. Not all designers deal with printing documents or marketing materials, so if you don't, stationery isn't critical. However, if you are sending letters to clients or potential clients, having stationery or letterhead that reinforces your brand is helpful and professional.
The Freelance Starter Kit
All of the documents that have been mentioned in this post, and more, are included in our Freelance Starter Kit ($49). The starter kit is our effort to help those who are new to freelancing by offering documents and resources that can save time and help to kick start a freelance design business.

Separated from her sister and frightened, she catches the attention of a man lurking in the facility (Joaquin Phoenix). Outwardly friendly and with a soft voice, he offers to help her. Bruno uses his connections -- and a bribe -- to whisk Ewa into Manhattan's Lower East Side. Gray admitted that when DP Darius Khondji and he looked at "The Godfather Part II," which was set in the same neighborhood, "we quickly realized there's no way to show the Lower East Side of NY during that time without people going, 'There's The Godfather Part II.'"
Ewa slowly falls prey to Bruno's unseemly business. He runs a Prohibition-era bar and theater. His girls wear pretty costumes and perform, but the trappings of the stage are thin veils for what is a peep show. Ewa is dependent on Bruno for money, and though her deep Catholicism nags at her conscience about her new profession -- which goes beyond the peep-show stage -- she sees few other initial options.
"I simply based the story on real stuff…," said Gray. "Most of the women being exploited [in this way] were from Eastern Europe. I wanted to do a film that was historically accurate."
While "The Immigrant" paints a bleak picture of people arriving to American shores full of hope, only to be dashed into a pitiful cycle of dependency and exploitation, Gray said he hopes the film will serve as a reminder to Americans today that immigrants have historically provided reinvention and dynamism and that subsequent waves of immigrants from Italy, Ireland and Eastern Europe have been maligned much in the same way as today's newcomers.
"I guess I'm unabashedly pro-immigration," said Gray. "It keeps the country growing and vital and dynamic. Coming from Los Angeles, it's easy to say it's full of Hollywood types, but actually the city is full of Latinos who have created a really important quality to the city. All groups that have arrived [in America], have been called 'dirty, stupid, they're lazy.' So when I hear people speaking about Latinos in code words, I wish I could remind them that that's the same argument that has been made for a hundred years. Sometimes the best way to make a comment about the present is to do it with some distance so when people can see the context of history maybe they will understand it better."

Suit yourself
From dark and dramatic to bold and beautiful, it's your choice when it comes to kitchen cabinetry. The result: there's no overriding must-have look for the kitchen, but there are mini-trends. Lovers of modern style are embracing colour: glossy lacquers of stoplight red, bright green and true blue are preferred by brave hearts. For those leaning to more transitional contemporary style, dark woods accented with stainless steel are chic and sophisticated. What's on the long-range trend forecast? European trade shows are showing an increasing number of traditional-style kitchens, and if it's happening in Europe (the continent that loves modern), it'll just be a matter of time before the past is au courant on our shores too.
Curves ahead
Could the circle be the shape of things to come in the kitchen? From curved cabinetry doors to round islands, the minimalism of modern kitchens gets a friendlier feel when blunt, straight edges are softened into curvaceous lines. Very Star Trek.
Hot and steamy
Nutritious and delicious: Turns out that healthy food doesn't mean sacrificing a sophisticated palate after all. Cooking with steam allows foodies to enjoy good food in gourmet style. Now the trend has trickled down from full-size, more pricey steam ovens to more accessible countertop options.
Top drawers
This is a two-in-one trend: that's how hot drawers are. First, savvy consumers are insisting on top-quality drawer guides (the actual hardware) for durability as well as inner organizing systems for functionality. Now there's customized storage for everything from linens to recycling materials to dishware to food. The second trend story on drawers is the dramatic increase in how many appliance manufacturers are designing their appliances to fit into drawers, including refrigerated, dishwasher, warming and even microwave drawers. This trend satisfies the desire that consumers have for an uncluttered, fully customized and integrated kitchen with multiple zones for food prep and storage.
The great pretenders
What's new in countertops? At the higher end, composites are giving granite competition. While the natural beauty of stone will always be a draw, composites like Corian's Zodiaq and Cosentino's Silestone – made from quartz particles and a synthetic binding element – have the properties of granite (such as strength, durability and heat-resistance) but offer more choice in colour and finishes and a guaranteed consistency in appearance. But the real news is that laminates are looking great in today's market. Their more natural-looking appearance and more sophisticated details – like ogee trim – give laminates an edge over other granite imposters: price.

Hey guys, I have a few questions about how the steering works for an aircraft while taxiing.
1) when a fly by wire a/c for Boeing, such as a 777, is taxiing, what controls the nose gear and what prevents the nose gear controls and the supercritical controls from interfering?
2) what about a pre-fly by wire Boeing aircraft in the same conditions?
3) how about airbus aircraft? How does the side stick control the nose wheel and what differentiates the controls? Is there something else that works with the nose wheels?
4) how about old airplanes, such as the DC-3, who had two wheels in front?
5) How are errors such as the B6 incident in LAX prevented but how did that actually occur?
Sorry for all the questions but its something that really drives my curiosity.

These days it seems like all I hear about are the twin crises of budget and healthcare, so I wasn't surprised when one of my very first assignments this summer at LSRJ was to research religious hospitals and their funding. What did surprise me, however, was what I learned about the disparate standards of care between secular and religious healthcare facilities.
One out of every six patients in the
Because Catholic hospitals receive so much public funding and see so many patients, one might assume that the standard of care in a Catholic hospital is comparable to the standard of care in a secular hospital. Unfortunately, this assumption may not be true.
Some patients treated in Catholic hospitals – women in particular – may not be receiving reproductive healthcare considered basic and essential by secular medical facilities. That is because Catholic healthcare providers are governed by the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services, with which all Catholic health care providers are obligated to comply (Directive 5).
Under the Directives, Catholic hospitals are prohibited from providing contraception (Directive 52), sterilization (Directive 53), most infertility treatments (Directives 40, 41, 42), condom distribution for AIDS prevention (Directive 52 prohibits all contraception, regardless of the reason), or abortion services (Directive 45). Directive 48 goes so far as to say no medical care that could be construed as abortion can be provided, even to a woman with an extra-uterine (ectopic) pregnancy.
It is also difficult to obtain emergency contraception in Catholic hospitals—even as treatment for rape or sexual assault. Despite the fact that it is expressly addressed in the Directives, the language of Directive 36 is unclear on when and under what circumstances EC can be provided:
Compassionate and understanding care should be given to a person who is the victim of sexual assault. Health care providers should cooperate with law enforcement officials and offer the person psychological and spiritual support as well as accurate medical information. A female who has been raped should be able to defend herself against a potential conception from the sexual assault. If, after appropriate testing, there is no evidence that conception has occurred already, she may be treated with medications that would prevent ovulation, sperm capacitation, or fertilization. It is not permissible, however, to initiate or to recommend treatments that have as their purpose or direct effect the removal, destruction, or interference with the implantation of a fertilized ovum.
Since emergency contraception is most effective in the first 72 hours, a healthcare provider's refusal to provide comprehensive treatment can further traumatize survivors of rape and sexual assault by forcing them to leave the hospital and attempt to obtain EC elsewhere.
Catholic hospitals do provide a tremendous amount of care in rural and impoverished communities – indeed, they are often the only hospital in such communities. The question remains, however, whether funding institutions that refuse to provide the full spectrum of reproductive healthcare is really the best use of our scarce federal Medicaid and Medicare dollars.

Bill Frist, Pragmatist
It's not enough that former GOP Senate leader Bill Frist has said he'd vote for ObamaCare, even as the current conservative-GOP in the House, acting at the behest of the American people, are set to vote for its repeal. No. He'd not only vote for it; he'd take it home, rent a movie with it, and then curl up on the couch, hoping that maybe later it'd give him a handjob:
"[The bill] has many strong elements. And those elements, whatever happens, need to be preserved, need to be cuddled, need to be snuggled, need to be promoted and need to be implemented. But how do you do it? How do you do a lot of what is in this law?"
And to you conservatives? Frist thinks you should probably just shut up:
[…] he strongly supports other aspects of the bill–most notably, its requirement that individuals be required to purchase coverage, if they do not receive health insurance through their employers or under government programs. And he also lauds the provisions that would eliminate practices that allow insurance companies to discriminate against people based on their health history, including pre-existing conditions.
Frist also faults some in his own party for injecting alarmism into the debate. "Clearly, the death panels and public plan arguments have been overblown," he says.
You know what's overblown? Your influence on the trajectory of GOP policy positions.
Or would that be blown over…?
Seriously. The American people — particularly conservatives and classical liberals — voted your kind out. And this is precisely why: if you are a Republican and you find yourself promoting a dangerous, unconstitutional expansion of the Commerce Clause so that you can force people to purchase health insurance, it's time to switch parties. Or else, ask the rest of us to leave.

Somebody should ask him to explain how ObamaCare is different from the Hillary!Care that launched his political career.
Or else, ask the rest of us to leave.
First is owned and paid for by the Big Med. What does he care about costs, he is not going to pay for it.
After Trent Lott, I had high hopes Bill Frist would prove at least marginally adequate as Senate Majority Leader.
I can't remember when I've been so disappointed.
Are you putting hatey crosshairs on Bill Frist, Jeff? Because it sounds like you are.
Which makes you just as bad as a murderer, I've heard.
I think these assholes, believing they have a right to force others to buy insurance, forfeit any moral authority to represent the people described in the Declaration of Independence.
We won't be free until politicians like this are adorning lamp posts all over America.
Pingback: Bill Frist Loves Him Some Obamacare « The Cranky Conservative
Truly amazing that some people wish to be slaves. Worse when they call for others to join their movement to reinstate it.
When the highest praise they can give to a conservative political leader is that he did free heart transplants in Africa it's time to realize you've been sold out again.

Cal also take is part on the decisions if somethingh is good or not has i see.. If not why Yamaha would let Cal test there latest spec 2 2013 chassi? do opinian of Lorenzo and Rossi are not enaught? i think that since Ben spies enter on Tech 3 the relation with yamaha has been much more close, and also since Yamaha know that Honda has other 2 teams like LCR with factory material and Gresini making points for the manufacter Champion and yamaha only have Tech 3, i think yamaha is allways making shure that what tech 3 has is really good enaught to fight for good numbers or even chanllage the factory bikes, last year Dovi did very well, this year the clear number one rider at yamaha is Cal, yamaha will know how to support Cal to let him keep is performance.. and in the end Lorenzo vs Cal in terms of proving talente Lorenzo Win he allready is 2 times World Champion but if you wach the qualify times Cal is only tenths of on Lorenzo.. is one gap that clearly show how competitive the tech

The guy is only 22 now. His last season he was 21. He had a solid season in 2011. They should have kept him.
He can't be expected to deliver Vettel's results in the STR, because at that time STR was using Red Bull's chassis. And because of Vettel's win in the STR, other midpack teams cried "foul".
It's amazing how Santander isn't backing up more spanish talent. Sure it focuses more attention on Alonso by making him more popular, but when he retires, that will leave a big void for all the spanish fans currently drawn to F1 because of him. They could leave the sport in droves.

Bonsall retiree is donor angel to Marines
Take-charge volunteer Linda Sundram is driven to raise money for Camp Pendleton troops
CAMP PENDLETON Bonsall retiree Linda Sundram never had children of her own, but the hard-charging fundraiser for projects at Camp Pendleton said she feels likes a mom to the 70,000 or so Marines who call the Oceanside base home.
"These boys are my babies," she said. "I would adopt them all if I could."
Sundram, 65, is a two-time past president and full-time volunteer for the Camp Pendleton Rotary, which has raised more than $500,000 for renovations, memorials and family programs on base since its creation in 2005. Sundram — who puts in about 60 volunteer hours a week — has spearheaded most of these projects out of sense of personal obligation born from an encounter with a wounded warrior in 2007.
After giving a toast to the Marines at a dinner dance on base that year, Sundram said a young woman approached her as she stepped offstage and said that her husband would like to meet the lady who gave the toast. Sundram said the young sergeant, who has since died, was blind and "missing half of his head" from an IED blast, but he stood up to hug and thank her.
"I was speechless," Sundram said. "I had done nothing compared to what he had done. I was the one who should be thanking him. I don't look good with mascara on my chin, but after that experience I was in for the duration."
Kimberly Reese, Family Readiness Officer for the 1st Marine Regiment at Camp Pendleton, describes Sundram as the driving force behind a huge number of Rotary projects at the base over the past six years.
The Camp Pendleton Rotary (with matching district grants and donations from other Rotary clubs, individual donors and charities) has built on base a memorial wall and garden; raised $42,000 in supplemental college scholarships for Marines and their dependents; bought computers for Marine families to Skype with service members overseas; renovated Camp Horno's regimental theater and gathering hall; renovated and expanded a family thrift shop; repainted a base chapel; organized Christmas toy drives for Marine families; shipped a ton of supplies to schools built by the U.S. in Afghanistan; provides free dinner service for amputees in therapy at Balboa Hospital's Liberty Center; created a program to buy swords for Marines who achieve the rank of corporal; arranges free home stays for large families visiting the base for funerals; and is now planning a disabled-access cabin for wounded warriors on the base's Lake O'Neill.
"Linda has been a tremendous blessing with her enthusiastic spirit," Reese said. "She has a heart of gold and she's very passionate because she loves and respects every man and women in uniform. You wonder what she's gaining from working so hard and where she gets her energy, but it's abundantly clear that she walks away feeling blessed by the opportunity."
Sundram said it's not hard to find donors eager to support programs on the base.
"People are so generous and wonderful," Sundram said. "All you have to say is 'the Marines need' and there is an outpouring of help."
Besides doing its own fundraising, Camp Pendleton Rotary acts as a conduit for other clubs and charities that are unfamiliar with the sometimes strict government rules and red tape. The no-nonsense Sundram said she enjoys the challenge.
"I was born and raised in New Jersey. We have the 'Sopranos' on speed dial," she joked. "Where I come from, regulations are something you get around."
Camp Pendleton's Reese said Sundram's persistence has played a big part in getting big projects accomplished.
"If there's a will, there's a way and Linda will find it," Reese said.

I agree with Raiyn. A gun isn't a toy. As far as I have been taught a gun is a tool and a damn dangerous one at that. You don't name a gun, you don't play(I use the word "play" loosely here) with a gun, you use it and you only use it under EXTREME circumstances.
