West Virginia lawmakers on Capital Hill sent a letter of their own to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urging for more health studies on crude MCHM.
On Feb. 27, U.S. Senators Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., along with U.S. Representatives Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., and David McKinley, R-W.Va., sent the letter to the CDC to urge health officials to conduct further studies on the effects of the Jan. 9 chemical spill in the Elk River.
The West Virginia Congressional Delegation wrote the letter in support of Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's request for additional studies, population surveillance and monitoring. Tomblin sent a letter to the CDC along with Karen Bowling, cabinet secretary of the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources, on Feb. 18.
Both letters were sent to Tom Frieden, director of the CDC.
The full letter from the lawmakers reads as follows:
"Dear Dr. Frieden:
We write in full support of Governor Tomblin's request for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to immediately conduct further epidemiological and/or toxicological studies and address ongoing population surveillance or monitoring as a result of the January 9 chemical spill in the Elk River, which has affected the water supply of more than 300,000 residents in West Virginia.
This disaster has been ongoing for over a month now. There is palpable concern and frustration among our citizens, which we share. It is clear that additional testing is necessary to protect the health and safety of West Virginians, and to reassure the public.
We ask for your careful review of Governor Tomblin's request and that you provide us with regular updates on your efforts. We hope that the CDC will continue to work with our State, as we strive for a positive resolution to this emergency.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter."

The search continues for a man accused of severely injuring an eastern Iowa toddler.
A Monona man suspected of severely injuring a toddler this summer now faces more charges.
Clayton County prosecutor Al Heavens said he filed a charge of child endangerment causing serious bodily injury against 21-year-old Troy Laufenberg.
That stems from an incident in July, when officials found his girlfriend's daughter, 18-month-old Myah Larson, with severe injuries in the Monona apartment she shared with her mother Emily Voshell, Laufenberg and a baby the couple had together.
Laufenberg is also facing a charge of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, which Heavens said was meth, and two counts of child endangerment related to having meth in close proximity to the two children in the apartment.
Heavens said prosecutors have not yet ruled out filing charges against Voshell, though they're not filing any at this time.
Laufenberg's attorney filed a not guilty plea this week and requested a speedy trial. Heavens said that date will be set soon for sometime in the next three months.
Myah continues to recover from her injuries.

Women's Basketball Begins Big Ten Play Saturday
Jan. 3, 2014
EAST LANSING, Mich. - The 2014 Big Ten season has arrived for the Michigan State women's basketball team. The Spartans begin play on Saturday, when they travel to Minnesota (11-3) for a 3 p.m. ET tip at Williams Arena. MSU has won its last three conference openers and were picked third in the Big Ten preseason coaches and media polls.
LAST MEETING (MICHIGAN STATE 66, MINNESOTA 51 - Jan. 3, 2013 - East Lansing, Mich.)
Already this season, the Spartans have scored 80 or more points in six of their 13 games. The total is the most in a season since 2005-06 and already the 10th-most in a single-season. In Merchant's previous six seasons, Michigan State reached 80 points only 17 times in 202 games.
For the year, MSU has eight total double-doubles. All of last year, the Spartans only had four. Johnson's double-double was the first by a Spartan using assists since Kristin Haynie on March 27, 2005 vs. Vanderbilt.
Individually, redshirt freshman Aerial Powers leads the team in Breslin Center scoring with 16.4 points and rebounding with 8.9, but has posted only 10.0 points and 6.0 rebounds outside of East Lansing.
As a starter, Bell has helped Michigan State to a 41-17 record, while averaging 9.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 33.8 minutes.
Each season, Bell has seen progression in her stat lines, including averaging career highs of 10.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.6 blocks as a junior. Her points and rebounds led the team, while her blocks were second, and her assists and steals were third. Because of a shortened bench, Bell was relied upon to play extended minutes, ranking fourth on the MSU single-season list in minutes (1,196) and sixth in minutes per game (35.2). Her play earned her third-team All-Big Ten honors, and placed her on the coaches' preseason All-Big Ten team.
This season, Bell is fifth on the team with 8.6 points, but is second in assists (3.5) and assist-to-turnover ratio (1.6), fourth in steals (0.9) and rebounds (5.1). She is sixth in the Big Ten in assist-to-turnover ratio and 12th in assists.
The Spartans' success last season was weighed heavily based upon Bell's play. In Michigan State's 25 wins, she averaged 12.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and shot 45.1% from the field, while in the nine losses, she scored only 6.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and shot just 29.5%. So far this season, the trend has continues, as in the eight wins, Bell is averaging 9.9 points and 4.0 assists, while shooting 47.5%, and in the five losses, she is averaging 6.6 points and 2.6 assists, while shooting 29.5%.
Pickrel has begun her senior season on a high note, building off her success last season. Through 13 games, she leads the team with 13.6 points and 1.2 blocks, in addition to averaging 6.9 rebounds (second on the team), 2.6 assists (third on the team) in a team-high 32.7 minutes. Pickrel is shooting 49.6% from the field, 47.1% from the 3-point line (24-for-51) and 84.4% (27-for-32) from the free throw line, all career highs. Among Big Ten players, Pickrel ranks among the top-20 in the Big Ten in nine different categories, including fourth in 3-point field goal percentage, 10th in rebounds and minutes, 11th in blocks, 3-pointers, free throw percentage and offensive rebounds, 13th in field goal percentage and 19th in points.
So far this season, Pickrel has reached the 20-point plateau in three games, after doing so only once in her first three seasons.
In the season opener at No. 6 Notre Dame, Pickrel posted her first career double-double (11 points and 12 rebounds), while also setting career highs with 12 rebounds and five assists, both team highs. With her stat line, Pickrel became the first Spartan since Kalisha Keane on Dec. 8, 2007 vs. Indiana State to tally at least 10 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in a game.
Her greatest asset the last two seasons has been her production from the 3-point line. Leading the team in both categories each season, Pickrel ranked ninth in the Big Ten in 3-point field goal percentage (36.7%) and 3-point field goals made per game (1.8) last season. Pickrel made a career-high 65 3-pointers, which is the seventh most in a Spartan single season. Entering that year, she was just 19-for-63 (30.2%) from the 3-point arc in her first two seasons at MSU. This season, she is fourth in the conference at 47.1% and 11th with 1.8 3-pointers.
Pickrel is currently 10th in Spartan history with 108 3-point field goals made, while ranking fourth with a career 37.1% 3-point field goal percentage.
In her last eight games (having led MSU in assists in seven of those), Johnson has totaled 54 assists to only 10 turnovers (5.4 assist-to-turnover). Against IPFW, Johnson dished out a career-high 11 assists; the total tied for the eighth-most in a single game, and was the most by a Spartan since Donita Johnson vs. Indiana on Feb. 5, 1999. She also had double-figure assists vs. Georgetown on Friday, en route to her first career double-double. It was the first double-double using assists by a Spartan since Kristin Haynie on March 27, 2005 vs. Vanderbilt. Also, Johnson became the first Spartan since Tamika Matlock in 1996-97 with multiple double-digit assists games in the same season.
An honorable mention All-Big Ten choice last season, Johnson has also been effective scoring the ball, averaging 9.3 points as a sophomore, tying for third on the team. She led MSU in free throw percentage (81.6%) and was second in 3-point field goal percentage (33.0%). Defensively, Johnson led MSU with 1.9 steals last season, and currently is 15th on the MSU career steals list at 1.7.
Jankoska was the first Spartan freshman ever to begin her MSU career with four-straight double-figure scoring games.
At Temple, Jankoska gathered her first career double-double with team-highs of 19 points and 11 rebounds, a season high. She also went 10-for-12 from the free throw line, the most free throws made by a Spartan since Feb. 6, 2011 (Brittney Thomas vs. Purdue). Against Dayton, Jankoska and redshirt freshman Aerial Powers each scored 24 points. It was the most points scored by a Spartan freshman since Kalisha Keane scored 24 points in the WNIT Championship game vs. Marquette on April 5, 2008. Jankoska came to Michigan State with a laundry list of high school accolades, highlighted by being named a PARADE High School All-American, Michigan's Miss Basketball and Michigan's Gatorade Girls Basketball Player of the Year. She shattered Freeland's career scoring record, totaling 2,333 points, while averaging 24.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 3.6 steals in her career. As a senior, she averaged 30.9 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 4.8 steals.
Both players are expected to be major contributors this season, but Powers has been the first to make an immediate impact. She is second on the team with 13.5 points, which is 20th in the Big Ten, and leads the team with 7.5 rebounds, which is eighth in the conference, and 2.1 steals, which is fourth. She is also is averaging 2.2 assists in just 25.1 minutes.
Powers has earned Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors twice this season, becoming the first Spartan to do so. Over her last seven games, she has posted three double-doubles, while averaging 15.7 points and 9.3 rebounds in 27.8 minutes.
Powers has also been getting to the free throw line more often of late, shooting 25 free throws (6.3 per game) in the last four games, compared to 28 (3.1 per game) in her first nine games. She is also shooting 76.0% in her last four, compared to 57.1% in her first nine.
Powers had her best statistical output of the season vs. IPFW, posting her first career double-double with game-highs of 28 points and 14 rebounds. Her points were the most by a Spartan freshman since Nov. 29, 2006 (and the second-most all-time by a freshman) and her rebounds were the most by a MSU freshman since Jan. 22, 2009. Powers followed it up with another double-double at Florida State with 19 points and 10 rebounds. She became the first Spartan since Courtney Schiffauer on Dec. 8 and 16 last season to record back-to-back double-doubles, and the first MSU freshman to do so since Lykendra Johnson on Feb. 8 and 12 in 2009.
Agee has been up-and-down so far this season. Against Detroit, she became the first Spartan freshman to post a double-double since Lykendra Johnson at Indiana on Feb. 12, 2009. Agee led MSU with 17 points and 11 rebounds, both career highs, in a career-high 23 minutes. For the season, Agee is averaging 6.8 points and 4.8 rebounds in only 14.6 minutes. She also leads the team with a 50.0% field goal percentage.
Mills has been up-and-down so far this season, as she has yet to put together more than two good games in a row. For the season, she is fourth on the team with 8.9 points and third with 5.8 rebounds in 24.2 minutes. Her best game this season came at Virginia Tech (Dec. 7), where she exploded for 19 points and 10 rebounds off the bench, for her first career double-double.
Hines returned to the lineup for the first time this season at Florida State, after missing the first seven games due to a concussion. For the season, she is averaging 3.2 points and 3.5 rebounds in 11.7 minutes, and is slowly working back into more significant minutes.
After playing only one minute in the next game at Temple, Williams missed the next three games before returning against Oakland. She played six minutes, grabbing three rebounds and blocking two shots. Williams was back to playing steady minutes over the last three games, clocking 13 against Oklahoma State, and 11 vs. Georgetown and Colgate.
So far this season per 40 minutes, Williams is averaging 14.5 points, 14.5 rebounds and 6.8 blocks.
After getting out-rebounded by 23 in its opener at Notre Dame, Michigan State has a +9.7 rebound margin in its last 12 games. For the season, the Spartans are +7.2 on the glass to rank third in the Big Ten. They are also third in offensive rebounds (12.7) and offensive rebound percentage (34.4%), and second in defensive rebound percentage (72.2%).
MSU has out-rebounded 85 of its last 104 opponents (81.7%), including nine of its 13 opponents this season.
The Spartans led the Big Ten in conference games last season with a +6.3 margin. MSU has led the league in three of the last five seasons in conference games only.
MSU has had a winning road Big Ten record in each of the last four previous seasons (6-3 in 2008-09 and 2009-10, 6-2 in 2010-11, 5-3 in 2011-12). During that time, the other 11 Big Ten schools have combined for only 12 winning road seasons.
The Spartans' 25 wins were the third-most in program history (2004-05 - 33 wins, 2010-11 - 27 wins).
The Spartans have now finished third or better in the conference in each of the last five seasons - winning the title in 2010-11, and placing second in 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2011-12. In all, MSU has finished no worse than third place in eight of the last nine years.
During Coach Merchant's tenure, Michigan State has a 69-33 (67.6%) Big Ten record. The win total is second in the conference over that span (Ohio State-71), while her winning percentage is 12th-best in the 32-year history of the Big Ten Conference. More recently, MSU has won 44 of its last 59 Big Ten regular season games (74.6%).
MSU is one of 19 schools in the country (and one of only two in the Big Ten) to make the NCAA Tournament the last five seasons - Baylor, Connecticut, DePaul, Duke, Fresno State, Georgia, Gonzaga, Green Bay, Iowa, Iowa State, Michigan State, Middle Tennessee, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, South Dakota State, Stanford, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt.
In conference games, she is 69-33 (67.6%), ranking her 12th all-time in career winning percentage in Big Ten games and second among active coaches. During her Spartan career, her 69 conference wins are second to only Ohio State (71).
Last season was Suzy Merchant's sixth trip to the NCAA Tournament, posting a 5-6 record. She has guided the Spartans to the last five tournaments, advancing to the Sweet 16 in 2009 and the second round in 2010, 2011 and 2013. Merchant ties Joanne P. McCallie for the most NCAA appearances as a MSU head coach (five). Over the last five NCAA Tournaments, her five wins are second among Big Ten schools (Purdue has six). Merchant also took Eastern Michigan to the tournament in 2004.

Personalized Rawlings Mini Baseball Bat Style GC258 2 2
Cutest Gift and Great Price!!! I bought this gift for my 7 year nephew and ring bearer who is on an All-Star baseball team. I have not given it to him yet, but I'm 100% sure he will think it's awesome. The turn around time was really quite fast for a personalized item! I ordered it on a Monday afternoon and received it at home the very next Monday. As stated in the description, the bat is "mini" size and not a full size bat. I actually prefer the size because it is more of a decorative item rather than an actual playing bat. Overall great purchase!!! Can't wait to give it to my nephew! July 14, 2014
This is a perfect gift for young boys. The only thing I was disapointed about was its size. I thought it would have been closer to the size of a normal bat. If you have a boy around 5 years of age or younger it would be a great gift. June 21, 2008

"Ordered this for my daughter's 8th birthday, an animal themed party for an animal-crazy kid. Quality is excellent! Nice thick paper, vibrant colors, crisp printing. Even cuter in person than online. Love that I could add a photo on the back with a little caption. To top it all off, it arrived in my mailbox 2 days BEFORE the expected delivery date. Very pleased with my purchase and service received."
"I came across this invitation and instantly knew it was the one. This design is fun and classy at the same time. The orange and blue colors pop together. I was looking for a design that would fit with our scuba diver theme. With the three photo options on the front as well as additional ones on the back I was able to include all of the cute photos of my soon to be three year old pretending to be a scuba diver. When I received the invitations the quality of the paper and the photo images were excellent. I have had so much positive feedback from this invitation. I give it five stars all the way! (And I'm picky :) Thank you Tiny Prints!"
"I absolutely love this card! It is so cute for my daughter's circus themed birthday party! We've gotten tons of compliments on it!"
"I really liked the design of the card. The background images were fun without being too babyish for my 6 year old's party. The only thing i would have liked was more room to write on the front of the invitation. Luckily I was able to add the address of the location to the back of the invite, so it wasn't that big of a deal."
"Rich color, quality paper and printing. Fast delivery. Like always, family and friends are impress and never fails to ask where I got them. The only thing I wish for Shutterfly to considered is the different believes in cultures, by allowing change in the wordings in "Birthday" and the like etc, giving the option to the customer to really personalize its own card with their own thoughts ideas etc."

COCOA BEACH -- Surf's up, dog! No seriously, tell your dog that the waves are firing.
The 49th annual Easter Surf Festival will host the inaugural East Coast Dog Surfing Championship on March 29-30 at the Cocoa Beach Pier. Prequalifying rounds begin at noon on March 29, with finals beginning at noon on March 30.
The inaugural East Coast Dog Surfing Championship contenders include Booker D. Surfdog from Flagstaff, Ariz., Onyx Shorepound from Klamath, Calif., Pippin Yatchdog from Tampa, Moses Rock of Ages from Coral Springs, and Boaz and Koa from Patrick Air Force Base.
"These amazing dogs will entertain and inspire you with their feats of strength, bravery and style as they ride the waves of the Atlantic Ocean to see who will be the 'top dog,'" said Eileen Cole, media relations manager for the Central Brevard Humane Society, in a press release.
The four-legged contestants will be judged on set-up, confidence, style, balance, difficulty, tricks and skills, as well as the length of ride and de-boarding.
Judges include Bonnie King from the Space Coast Office of Tourism, Lori Stottler of the Cocoa Beach Pier and Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey, among others.
The winner of the inaugural East Coast Dog Surfing Championship will receive a $500 cash prize, along with the title of "East Coast Dog Surfing Champion of 2013."
The Central Brevard Humane Society will be at the base of the Cocoa Beach Pier during the two-day event, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Shelter dogs will be available for adoptions, and merchandise and fun educational information about responsible pet ownership will be provided.

Check out our Retouching Portfolio
Duggal was an early pioneer in digital retouching transferring the knowledge and craftsmanship of dye and ink directly on to film and print retouching to becoming the first commercial lab in the country to have the then revolutionary real time Shima Seiki computer retouching stations back in the 1980's. Today we continue the tradition of having the latest and best equipment available staffed by experienced artists. We specialize in professional fashion retouching, product enhancement, CGI product creation, layouts, wedding photo enhancements, photo manipulation and design work from logos to book layouts. We also offer digital professional restoration of old or damaged photographs and can provide customized work such as collages/montages, pop art, background replacements, portrait effects, vignettes, and other special effects.
Contract Proofing
Duggal offers contract proofing to match content and color on press. That includes commercial printers and publication printers. We provide SWOP (Web press standard) and Gracol (Sheet fed press standard) for any type of press and any type of paper (coated, uncoated, board etc.) We use state of the art equipment and GMG color management software to simulate the press gain, the shade of white of the paper, the way PMS colors will translate into 4 color process or the way they will look on paper as spot colors. After completion the color strip printed on the proof is scanned and the system checks the values comparing them to the standard required. Then it generates an acceptance label with the scanned values. We affix the label on the back of the proof for printer reference and reassurance of standard. In additional to magazine full page and double spread proofs we can produce proofs up to 60 inches wide and 81 inches long, large enough for any offset press. For a more economical option we also offer Fuji Pictro Proofs, which are SWOP standard proofs

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The Wisconsin Supreme Court heard arguments Monday on whether a Racine businessman can review the mental health records of a young woman he's accused of molesting.
Curt Johnson, an heir to the Samuel Johnson family fortune, has pleaded innocent to have illegal sexual contact up to 20 times with the youngster from 2007 to 2010.
His attorney, Mark Richards, told the justices that he wants to find out if the teen ever told her therapists that she was sexually abused.
Richards contends that two therapists who met with the youngster never reported sex abuse to authorities, as required by law.
The woman in the case is now 18. She and her mother no longer live in Wisconsin, and they've been fighting Johnson's request to obtain the victim's mental health records.
The justices did not indicate when they might make a decision.
Johnson's criminal case is on hold until then. He had retired from the chairman's post at Diversey Incorporated, a cleaning products firm that was spun off from SC Johnson.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Lakewood is a 5 School! Great GATE program,drama,art,sign club,band,PTA,great staff and teacher's! Ect. Parents are very involved great school great neighborhood!
Lakewood is a outstanding school! Awesome teachers and families! The teachers,staff and parent's are all great! Everyone is involved and really care about the children's all round education. High education and moral standards! Top Notch!
My son has attended this school for the past 4 years and every year I am more and more impressed with our teachers. We have had nothing but excellent teachers with years of experience and a wonderful drive to make education the top priority for the students as well as the parents. Education is the first priority for Lakewood and it shows. We bought a house where we did to be zoned for Lakewood and it was one of the best decisions we could have made for our kids.
We bought a house in this school district specifically so our kids could go to Lakewood. I went to this school as a student, and now my kids are students here. This is the best elementary school in the city.
This school teaches poor values and the parents teach poor ethics.
I am a former student and now parent at this outstanding school. I had a great experience at Lakewood that will remain with me for ever, and my children are have the same experience. I have one child who just graduated last year 08 and now have one in first grade and two more that will attend in the next four years, they have an awsome drama program, sign club, jump rope and I could go on and on. I would say to anyone this school is for you child, even if you have a disabled or deaf child they can attend too, the PTA is awsome, Staff is very nice and does there job! It is a school that makes a great impact and remains not only with the child but with the whole family, it is a very family friendly school, your always at home even 30yrs later!
My son was at Lakewood from 1st until part of 3rd grade last year. I relocated out of Modesto intentionally due to quality issues with Lakewood. Yes it has a GATE program (my son participated in it) but there is way too much teaching to the test. Volume of homework does not necessarily mean improved quality of education. Also I found some of the parents to be overly cliquish and focused on material things. There is considerable bullying at the school. Also children that do not fit the 'perfect mode' have a difficult time getting the supplemental help they need.
Great School, excellent parent involvement, teacher quality I rate A+. Overall I think best elementary school in Stanislaus County. Principal leadership has always been high quality until now. Current principal is not Lakewood quality nor leadership quality.
Great school. Seasoned teachers and great support system provided here for students. Nice upbeat environment and very active parents who participate in their children's needs. Supervisory staff is very nice and principal is very nice and very active in the schools functions. Principal and teachers here really care about the students.
We have had 3 children go thru Lakewood over the last 10 years. Overall the expierence has been good. Parent envolvement is 2nd to none at Lakewood. Only problem I will walk away from Lakewood is their is a big seperation between 'gate' classes and 'regular' classes. Gate teachers are great, so if you are fortunate to have a gate kid you will be fine, if you have a 'average' or below student, he or she will be stuck in combo classes, meaning he or she will be in a classroom with 2 grade levels, with one teacher. I am finding these students are falling behind other students once they reach 7th grade and beyond.
Best school in Modesto. My 3 children attended there and they are wonderful. Lots of school pride and very safe environment. My kids loved it.
My fourth grader has been at Lakewood since Kindergarten. We have had nothing but the greatest experiences there. The teachers are great, the staff is friendly and the pricipal is awesome. The parents are involved and overall a wonderful group of people. Lakewood has the highest API scores in town and I'm proud to say that my child is part of such a great learning environment.
My oldest child and also my self have attended Lakewood Elem. My son has been envolved in all the programs they offer at Lakewood. Such as Jazzy Jump, Student Body, and Sign Club. He has enjoyed every moment of being a student at Lakewood. Academics 100%.
Excellent, clean, well-staffed school. Great acedemic programs. Encourages classroom parent helpers.
Lakewood has been an excellent school for my 5 children. The teachers motivated my kids to want to learn, to enjoy reading, to ask questions, to love social studies and math. Parent involvement is high, safety has not been a concern.
Lakewood is a wonderful school. Each of my two kids' teachers, from K-6, always encouraged my sons to do their own personal best, to reach above 'standard', and to love learning. It's an extremely nurturing environment, both for the kids and parents. As a parent, I always felt welcome, and the teachers were always approachable about any issues or concerns I may have had. The only downside to Lakewood is that it may be too 'perfect' -- our junior high isn't nearly as nurturing and welcoming, so junior high is a culture shock for the whole family.

Aphex Twin
Richard David James (born 18 August 1971), best known by his stage name Aphex Twin, is an England-based electronic musician and composer. He has been described by The Guardian as "the most inventive and influential figure in contemporary electronic music", and is the co-founder of Rephlex Records with Grant Wilson-Claridge. Aphex Twin's album Selected Ambient Works 85-92 was called the best album of the 1990s by FACT Magazine. In addition to Rephlex, James has released Aphex Twin records on Warp, R&S, Sire, Mighty Force, Rabbit City and Men Records. Following public sightings of the Aphex Twin logo in London, United Kingdom (UK), and New York City, United States (US), in August 2014, the Aphex Twin Twitter account confirmed the release of Syro, his sixth studio album. Following a subsequent press release, Syro was officially released on 23 September 2014 through the Warp music label.

IRS issues new numbers for 2012
Adjustments for inflation include a change in tax-bracket thresholds and a small increase in the standard deduction and dependent exemption.
This post is by Tom Herman of The Wall Street Journal.
Happy New Year, and welcome to the many tax-law changes that became effective Jan. 1.
Most of the changes stem from annual inflation adjustments that affect income-tax brackets and many other provisions.
These changes apply only to 2012. Thus, they won't affect what you owe for 2011 when you file your return this year.
Here are a few (Post continues below video.):
- Federal income tax-bracket thresholds for 2012 have risen for each filing status. For a married couple filing a joint return, the taxable-income threshold separating the 15% bracket from the 25% bracket is $70,700 for this year, up from $69,000 for 2011, according to the Internal Revenue Service.
- The standard deduction is up slightly. For singles, the basic deduction amount for this year is $5,950, up from $5,800 last year. For married couples, it's $11,900, up from $11,600 in 2011. There are additional amounts for those who are 65 or over, blind or both.
- The amount of each personal and dependent exemption is $3,800 for 2012, up by $100 from $3,700 for 2011.
- The maximum amount of the earned income tax credit for low- and moderate-income workers and working families rose to $5,891 for 2012, from $5,751 in 2011. The maximum income limit for the EITC rose to $50,270 from $49,078 in 2011.
- The foreign earned income exclusion amount rose to $95,100 from $92,900 for 2011.
- The IRS' optional standard mileage rate for using your car for business will remain unchanged at 55.5 cents this year, the same as in the second half of 2011. This also applies to vans, pickups or panel trucks. Drivers have a choice of using this rate or deducting certain actual expenses. But the rate for using your car for medical or moving purposes is down to 23 cents a mile for this year, from 23.5 cents in the second half of 2011. The rate for using your car to help a charity remains unchanged at 14 cents a mile. This rate is set by Congress.

Spare change: Identity theft edition
Published on - July 26th, 2013 (by April Dykman)
Several years ago, my husband and I went on our annual family camping trip in Terlingua, Texas, right outside of Big Bend National Park.
As usual, on our way out, we stopped in Alpine to gas up. My dad paid with a credit card, and we got on the road and headed home.
But a few days later, some unusual charges appeared on his account. The credit card company caught it first, and Dad assured them that not only did he not make those purchases, but he wasn't even in Alpine anymore. He quickly figured out that someone at the gas station had stolen his credit card number and was living it up in Alpine, Texas.
And not too long ago, something similar happened to me. I got a call from my credit card company about some unusual activity on my account. Apparently someone made 9 or 10 charges at Walmart, each about $100, all within a short time period.
It was great that the credit card company caught it quickly, and it's great that I wasn't responsible for the charges. But what wasn't so great was the hassle! My card had to be frozen, and I had to be issued a new card. I also had to figure out if any automatic payments were scheduled so that I could pay them manually, at least until the new card arrived. It's not fun.
And apparently the time it takes to sort through an identity theft mess is affecting employers, as well, which brings us to our first link…
1. Identity theft is costly for employers
Luckily, I was able to resolve my identity theft fairly quickly. But it can take as much as 33 hours of a victim's time to resolve the case, and serious breaches can even take 600 hours, as reported by Lehigh Valley Business.
And since many of us hold down a day job, that cuts into work time. One study found that 48 percent of a company's employees will experience some legal issues throughout the year, which will take at least 51 hours of work time per year to solve. Granted, the site reporting on that study is also trying to convince employers to buy into legal and identity theft plans for employees, so it's suspect. But even still, if an employee has to spend 30+ hours resolving a case of identity theft, it stands to reason that she'll have to use up some PTO to do it.
(On another note, an employer-sponsored identity theft plan is a pretty interesting company perk.)
2. Children aren't immune
You already know you should be checking your credit report at least once a year. But do you check your kids' credit reports?
It may sound ridiculous. It's not like 8-year-old Emily has her own American Express card, so she should have no credit, and therefore, no report. But it's the combination of a blemish-free credit history and the likelihood that no one is monitoring a child's identity that make them the best kind of target for identity theft.
According to a study conducted by Carnegie Melon's CyLab, more than 10 percent of children studied had their Social Security number used fraudulently. The youngest victim was 5 months old. The largest fraud ($725,000) was committed against a 16-year-old girl.
"The potential impact on the child's future is profound; it could destroy or damage a child's ability to win approval on student loans, acquire a mobile phone, obtain a job or secure a place to live," according to the report.
Two big red flags? If your kid is getting bills, credit card offers, or collection notices, there's a problem. Don't assume it's just a computer glitch. Also, if your child actually has a credit report, then somewhere there's a credit line in his or her name. Look into it.
3. The state of identity theft in your state
According to a Federal Trade Commission report, if you're a resident of one of these states, you may be more likely to become a victim of identity theft.
Florida, 361.3 complaints per 100,000 residents
Georgia, 193.9 complaints per 100,000 residents
California, 122.7 complaints per 100,000 residents
Michigan, 122.2 complaints per 100,000 residents
New York, 110.1 complaints per 100,000 residents
Nevada, 109.9 complaints per 100,000 residents
Texas, 108.6 complaints per 100,000 residents
Arizona, 107.3 complaints per 100,000 residents
Maryland, 105.0 complaints per 100,000 residents
Alabama, 104.9 complaints per 100,000 residents
In addition, you're most likely to be victimized via email or phone contact, as opposed to mail, other online contact, or other means.
4. Stealing IDs to hang with Mickey
I can't give you links about identity theft without at least one oddball story, so here you go.
Last week the former manager of an Lincolnshire, Illinois, steakhouse was arrested on charges of ID theft. Specifically, 26-year-old Alexander Pera is accused of stealing the IDs of 50 employees and customers in order to finance 15 trips to Disney World and two Disney cruises, all within a five-month period.
"I like Disney, but 15 times in five months is excessive and expensive," Lincolnshire investigator Adam Hyde told CNN. "I guess not if you aren't paying for it."

We had our Internet credit card (low limit in case of fraud) frozen just after Hurricane Sandy. Of course we had no power and no phone, so the credit union couldn't reach us to tell us. We found out when the card was declined after my son sat in line for gas an hour away! The station took another number over the phone, otherwise my MIL (she was closest) would have gotten a panicked call. You can't put gas back on the shelf (well, not easily).
Yikes. Any idea why they froze it? I've had my card refused due to fraud concerns in the past, but never under circumstances like that. And whenever it's happened, it's never been fraud. It's been due to uncharacteristic (but legit) spending on our part.
I think one of the easiest ways to get your info stolen is through phishing emails. Don't fall for them, and don't ever provide your details unless you typed in the internet address!!! Link can be spoofed.
That is scary! My card was cloned, I think in a Mexican restaurant and once I was back home, someone was withdrawing money from Colombia, thankfully the bank could see I was withdrawing money too and not in Colombia. Now I don't let the card leave my sight.
Even if the card never leaves your sight, the information can still be stolen.
That's so scary about kids and identity theft. Thanks for the information about that.
Wow, I had never even thought about the possibility of my son having his identity stolen. Definitely something to monitor going forward. I've been fortunate never to have had to deal with this, but I have a friend whose SSN was stolen and it was a HUGE deal. I have to admit that I'm not incredibly proactive about protecting my information, but the risks are real and it's definitely worth taking some simple steps to protect yourself.
I've never been the victim of credit card fraud that seems to be the focus here, but this year I was twice the victim of full on identity theft where someone tried to file unemployment benefits in my name, and then several months later tried to file a fraudulent tax return using my name and SSN. And the list is right – this is getting all too rampant in Florida, but the techniques are apparently easy enough for criminals to master so watch out residents in other states!
Altogether I've easily put 40 – 60 hours of effort into paperwork and extra lock-downs on our accounts after this all took place, but I still don't have legal resolution to my satisfaction and likely never will.
ID theft can happen to anyone. And it's a giant PITA when it does.
Where can you go to check your child's credit report? I feel this article is missing "the next step" – that is, what are some good, reputable sites that you can use?
I highly recommend setting up a spreadsheet with any automatic bill-pay items listed along with their method of payment (credit card/bank account). Makes it much easier if you're going to change banks or have your card frozen like this.
I also have a separate credit card that I only use for automatic payments and a separate one for daily use. That way if the one used more often (and more likely to be stolen) is frozen, it's less of a hassle.
Wow! I live in Florida and had no idea how common identity theft is, thanks for the info.
But this wasn't identity theft, this was *credit* *card* theft. CC theft is fairly common while identity theft is not.
Yeah, I heard that because gas station terminals often use wi-fi to send credit/debit information from the pump to the main store, that in smaller towns, that wi-fi is open!!! So it's easy for a computer savvy criminal to hack that information. Because of the hassle of getting stolen money back using debit cards (due to it being refunded by your bank and not VISA/Amex), I've stopped using my debit card except to get out cash. I use a regular credit card to pay for all other credit transactions.
Do you have a source that gas stations are using unprotected wifi? I can't find anything online to back that claim.
As far as Debit vs Credit Card protection, you're right:
You may not be responsible for the fraudulent charges, but someone is. I worked for a small business that was the victim of credit card fraud. We had to pay back the credit card company. The owner of the credit card number didn't report it for 2 billing cycles. He should have reported the weird charges on his first statement but he didn't. We were naive and didn't do some of the things we should have done. It was a BIG problem. You may not be responsible for the fraudulent charges but BIG CREDIT CARD COMPANY probably isn't either.
Very true that the company who accepts the fraudulent card is liable for any/all charges. However, with the knowledge of how CC's work it shouldn't be incredibly difficult to catch most (but not all) of attempted CC fraud.
Plus, more and more retailers are building "fail-safes" into their systems; several places I shop require that you present the card to the employee so they can type in the last 3-5 digits of the card (preventing someone from cloning my card from a skimmer and then loading that information back onto *any* sort of magnetic card)
NJ is a perfect example of not really trying. I spent some time vacationing there and not *once* did anyone look at the signature on the back of my card to see if it even remotely matched what I actually signed.
Two comments.
When a child's identity is stolen, the thief is most often a parent. This bums out a lot of young adults seeking credit for the first time.
Small businesses get hurt bad by credit card theft; they are often left holding the bag because they trust their customers, or just don't know how to protect themselves. If you have a small business (or any business) it is part of your job to make sure the person paying with a cc is in fact the cc holder. Larger companies can eat the cost of fraud now and then, but small ones may be destroyed by it. (I've seen it, it's not pretty.)
Yup. My dad started "borrowing" my younger brother's identity when he was only a baby. Opened charge accounts, took out loans, defaulted on some of them. It was a mess. He wound up taking our mother's surname (they were divorced, although not over this) as an adult. The vast majority of identity theft is by family members, not by strangers.
Criminals are criminals and they don't care, but stealing the identity of kids is downright deplorable.
Identity theft/fraud is one of the reasons (there are many more) why I use a credit card and not a debit card.
This happens quite often as your statistics indicate. It has happened to me about 4-6 times over the years. The only reason the credit card company is so on top of it is they don't want to deal with a dispute later. They just do not honor the charge from the retail establishment. The loss is at the retail level.
It's ridiculous how much time can be wasted by correcting identity theft out there. I use a service that if anything happens ensures that I will NOT be responsible for making any payments nor do I have to spend any time correcting anything that happened. The service I use is Identity Shield by Legal Shield. There are other services out there also – pretty sure Legal Zoom has a plan also. Worth the investment to me.
I wonder how their protection works.
I ask because I know with LifeLock, all that they do is issue a fraud alert on your credit account (which is something that you can do for free on your own). The founder gets on TV and radio all the time announcing his Social Security number to prove how secure this product is. Well, it isn't. He's had his "identity" stolen 13 times. This from a company that's supposed to be protecting it.
I am not posting my real name, due to the fact, I found out my CC information was stolen on Monday. My CC expires in August, and the companies letter to me says mid July (not going into specifics too much). Typically, they send your new one out before your old one expires, and since we keep having temporary mail carriers (old one retired), everybody's mail keeps going to other houses.
I was hoping this would go more into what happens next and the proceedure (already talked to the CC company and sent them information as it appears the person was trying to get the information sent elsewhere, maybe for identity theft purposes)
Mine is paid off monthly, mostly used for work purposes, and has never been used at an ATM (don't know how to use one, use cash locally, most times), gas pump, etc. 97% of the use is online purchases (for work).
Will there be a updated story or part 2?
In this case you lucked out and the credit card company took care of deleting all charges, and that is normally the case. However you would normally want to put a security freeze on your credit report. This will protect you from having any derogatory marks report while the freeze is on your account. At Golden Financial Services you can get a summary of the Fair Credit Reporting Act to protect you.
If this were identity theft, I'd agree that you need a credit freeze and fraud alert with all three credit bureaus.
However, this was *credit* *card* theft. For a single credit card with fraudulent charges I've never opened up a fraud alert with the 3 credit bureaus.
Here's a link to the Fair Credit Reporting Act:
Even if you aren't paying for it, why buy 15 trips to Disneyland? I can't understand the mind of an identity thief.
I know someone who works in the fraud department of a bank, and it is silly how some people steal others identities!
Also, my state is on that list. Time to move!
In Florida, a lot of the identity theft comes via doctor's offices and hospitals. I will not give out my SS# to any doctor and I've had considerable push back here and there. One doctor wouldn't give me an appointment without my SS# so I found a different doctor.
I simply skip that part of any form and when the receptionist asks me for it, I simply tell them I've had problems with identity theft and won't give it out.
Just a few answers and points to some of the common questions and comments on this page.
1. If someone steals your identity or commits any type of fraud in your name, with your credit cards, etc…. Call the credit card companies and tell them someone is using your card, and they will delete the charges, cancel the card and send you a new one that is safe to us.
2. A 90 day fraud alert illustrates to anyone requesting your credit file that you suspect you are a victim of fraud. When someone attempts to open a credit account in your name, raise the credit limit on an existing account, or get a new card on an existing account, the lender should take steps to verify that you have authorized the request. Here is where you place a fraud alert or take it off. http://www.alerts.equifax.com/AutoFraud_Online/jsp/fraudAlert.jsp
After requesting this alert with Equifax, they automatically report the same information to all the credit reporting agencies, so you don't have to do this. While you have this fraud alert placed on your credit profiles, nothing negative can be reported and that protects you, but this also can cause you a problem if you need to use your credit during this time.

Ilya Kovalchuk and Alex Pietrangelo returned to their respective teams for Game Three, with different results.
Scott Cullen looks at the Devils' OT win and the Kings taking a commanding lead over the Blues.
Alexei Ponikarovsky picked a good time to score his first goal of the playoffs, netting the winner in overtime as the New Jersey Devils edged the Philadelphia Flyers 4-3, taking a 2-1 series lead.
Ponikarovsky was sprung loose on the counter attack which led to his goal by a pass from Ilya Kovalchuk (in combination with a horrible Flyers line change).
Kovalchuk, who missed Game Two with a herniated disk in his back, was much more effective after a game off, putting up a goal and two assists to lead the Devils' attack. He now has nine points in nine playoff games.
Patrik Elias and Marek Zidlicky each contributed two points for the Devils.
Playoff assassin Danny Briere had two more points for the Flyers, including the tying goal midway through the third period, and now has 12 points in nine playoff games.
Rookie C Sean Couturier suffered a cut on his leg and left the game in the first period. If the gash is serious, that would be a big loss to the Flyers' lineup, since Couturier has been handling tough checking assignments throughout the postseason. With Couturier out, it's no surprise that two of the three Flyers forwards that played more than 26 minutes were centres Briere and Claude Giroux; the other was RW Wayne Simmonds.
The leader in ice time for the entire game was Devils D Bryce Salvador, who logged 31:43, and he matched up most often against Claude Giroux (www.timeonice.com), the Flyers' ace centre who was held off the scoresheet for the second straight game.
Though the win gives the Devils the lead in the series, they might want to exercise more discipline going forward, as the Flyers have 16 power plays compared to Devils' nine power plays through three games. Yes, New Jersey has killed 14 of the 16 man advantages, but that's a risky game to play.
The St. Louis Blues are on the brink of elimination after the Los Angeles Kings took a 3-0 stranglehold on the series with a 4-2 win in L.A. Thursday.
Kings D Drew Doughty, who had two points in the first seven games of this year's playoffs, had a goal and two assists to lead the Kings' attack. Anze Kopitar and Mike Richards each added a pair of points for the Kings.
D Matt Greene, who had 15 points in 82 regular season games, recorded a point for the third straight game.
For a team in a desperate situation, the Blues didn't come out with the kind of urgency that might have been expected, managing only four shots in first period and a total of 20 in the game.
RW Chris Stewart, who has been a healthy scratch for the Blues, scored both St. Louis goals.
D Alex Pietrangelo returned to the St. Louis lineup, after missing Game Two with a lower body injury, and led all Blues with 26:34 of ice time.
Though neither team was creating a ton of chances, the Blues were undone by a mediocre performance in goal by Brian Elliott, who allowed four goals on 22 shots, not one of which would have been considered beyond his grasp.
As great as Elliott has been this year, he's now allowed nine goals in the last two games, his highest two-game total all year. Prior to Game Two, Elliott had allowed four goals in three of 43 appearances this season, and now he's done it in back-to-back games. With Jaroslav Halak on the shelf, the Blues simply couldn't afford to have a subpar game from Elliott, but that's what happened, leaving the Blues with a mountain to climb if they are going to make a highly unlikely comeback.

Interview: Meet CouchBase
Membase+CouchOne Merger
CouchOne and Membase recently announced they will merge to form the new NoSQL company, 'Couchbase' and launch a new product family, which will be based on the Apache CouchDB document database technology. In this interview, JAXenter speaks to co-author of O'Reilly's 'CouchDB: The Definitive Guide,' about the move......
JAXenter: Membase and CouchOne have announced a merger. In the announcement, you stress how well these two companies fit together. What makes Membase and CouchOne such a good fit?
Jan Lehnardt: At a technology level, Membase and CouchOne were starting at different points, but heading in the same direction on our roadmap. Just as an example: Membase was looking to develop indexing and querying, which were strong points of CouchDB. CouchOne heard from users the need for clustering and elasticity, strengths of Membase. And both companies had roadmap plans and engineering activity to precisely fill the holes. Merging fills both our gaps 1-2 years faster than we would have been able to individually, and assembles a much larger team to innovate in non-duplicating directions.
At a company level, there were also great synergies. For example, Membase was looking for a CTO, CouchOne was looking for a CEO as we went through a round of funding. Again, we filled each other's gaps in this area as Damien is the new CTO of the merged company, and Bob Wiederhold, a very experienced CEO, is providing business leadership.
JAXenter: You state your intention to join both products together. What will the resulting product look like?
Jan Lehnardt: We have a high level plan, but the details are being worked out as we speak. A few characteristics are:
- Full API compatibility with Apache CouchDB and Memcached. This allows us to offer a drop-in replacement for users that already use either of the projects.
- The CouchDB persistence, indexing and replication layer adds these features to Membase. CouchDB users will benefit from higher performance and strictly low latency guarantees of Membase.
- Our mantra is "Simple, Fast, Elastic" and it is not just some marketing bullshit. There's barely an engineering discussion where this isn't brought up. We believe in software that is easy to get started with, is easy to use, does not compromise on making the most of current and future hardware and allows users to scale out to massive cluster and millions of mobile devices for data sync. If we find that we are discussing a feature or implementation that would break the above promise, we won't do it.
JAXenter: What will pre-existing customers from each company, gain from the merger?
Jan Lehnardt: First, we'd like to emphasize that for users and customers whose needs are currently met with the status quo, nothing will change except the url of the company website. We are committed to make Couchbase a drop-in replacement for both Apache CouchDB and Membase / Memcached. At the same time, we merged precisely because many of customers were asking us for new features. Membase users keep asking for more advanced querying options, CouchDB has that. CouchDB users ask for higher performance and latency guarantees, Membase has that. These are only two items on a very long list that we gathered from our respective users.

Kitchen Tour: Cissy and Richard's Relaxed Green Kitchen
It's not often I walk into a kitchen and immediately feel so inspired by the colors, tools, art and materials around me. From the 6-burner gas range to the repurposed tool-cart island to the small sculptural objects that pepper the room, the personality of the owners shines brightly throughout this kitchen.
Cissy and Richard live in Santa Barbara, California, and they remodeled their 50's style tiny kitchen about four years ago. They couldn't be more pleased with the results — Richard is an inspired cook, with an interest in show–stopping dishes. Think roasted vegetable lasagna where he's grown the peppers, eggplant and squash, rolled out the pasta by hand and stirred up a delicate béchamel sauce all in a matter of moments — and conceptual dinner parties such as the 'all white' dinner party (where he served fish quenelles, mashed potatoes and angel food cake with whipped cream).
Cissy cooks simpler foods, equally delicious, with an eye on her slow cooker and a love of pantry staples such as locally–made jams, olives, pickles and mustards. Cooking is very important to both of them, and they wanted their new kitchen to be functional and stylish. With their remodel, they knocked down walls so the kitchen could spatially serve as the hearth of the home, with easy access to the dining and living rooms.
Cissy and Richard had a few goals in mind when converting the small brown kitchen that served them for nearly thirty years and raising two kids. Cissy wanted a view of the garden while she did the dishes, so they moved the sink and pushed one existing wall out about two feet. They knocked down half of a wall to the dining room for more accessibility to guests who were hanging out while Richard was cooking (although, most folks gravitate towards the kitchen with all the alchemy going on in there!). They added a skylight and customized cabinets.
Cissy chose the bold green color for the cabinets with a little hesitation, but the couple love the apple green stain and feel it somehow acts as a neutral tone, in the sense that it flows with all the garden views from the kitchen and living room. I couldn't agree with them more. It actually does achieve this mellow feeling, even though the color is quite vibrant.
Another creative touch is their swiveling island, which is actually a tool–cart from Costco, with a wooden chop block affixed to the top, for extra counter space. The slim drawers perfectly house silverware, cooking utensils, pots and pans — all the essentials. It's very beautiful and does the job well.
10 Questions for Cissy and Richard (and their Kitchen)
note: Richard answered the survey
1. What inspires your kitchen and your cooking?
The people in the dining room.
2. What is your favorite kitchen tool or element?
My podcasts, my tongue, my pizza stones and paddle, and my little dog Vito (always at my side looking for scraps).
3. What's the most memorable meal you've ever cooked in this kitchen?
Many years ago, I made every Thanksgiving recipe from a spread in Gourmet magazine. It was when my wife was an editor working all day and I had two little kids working in the kitchen with me. I know it's not PC, but everyone wore Pilgrim hats made of paper, even the dog. I cooked the meal and went to sleep at 5PM. I still make the pumpkin chiffon pie from this issue; it has become the stuff of legend to my kids and their friends. It's amazing.
4. The biggest challenge in your kitchen:
I need a double boiler!
5. Is there anything you wish you had done differently?
We chose to open up the kitchen, which I love, but we did lose wall space. I would have loved to have the room for a second oven.
6. Biggest indulgence or splurge in the kitchen:
Chocolate. Darker the better. Valrhona, Scharffenberger, Alma and Sahagun Chocolates both based out of Portland, Oregon. None of that milk junk. Also, nice single–malt scotch (Laphroig, Lagavulen, Talisker, Clear Creek McCarthy's). With the kitchen, we sprung for custom–built cabinets, installed at a few different heights to accommodate the coffee maker and the soda–water maker, two appliances we use multiple times a day.
7. Is there anything you hope to add or improve in your kitchen?
A single–malt scotch dispenser.
8. How would you describe your cooking style?
Demanding, but loose.
9. Best cooking advice or tip you ever received:
I realized I was not good-looking and had to depend on some other skills to seduce a girl. Luckily my girlfriend, who became my wife, liked my cooking skills. I was about 18 when I cooked the first meal for her, Ollie's Chocolate Cake (made with coffee instead of water).
10. What are you cooking this week?
Just made buttermilk biscuits. Coming from Miami yesterday thinking about split barbecued prawns, red beans and rice, and plantains.

Finally... photographs of a kitchen in use! There's fruit next to the range and all the necessary implements in a kitchen that really works... and a cook to boot!
Thanks Cissy and Richard... and thank you Leela! Please, more kitchens that aren't "staged".
Love the bump out of the wall by the sink, and the greenhouse style window -- also love the tool cart from Costco, it pure genius and so functional.
But I think you've live in Calfornia too long -- nothing unPC about some kids wearing Pilgrim hats on turkey day. Hell, the logo for the Mass Pike is a pilgrim hat. Wicked funny!
The green stain walks such a great line between rustic and bold/modern. Love it.
Those green glass tiles look great!
Cissy and Richard,
Congrats on one the coolest Kitchens I've seen. Is that an ice sculpture or custom ice cube in the photos?
loved seeing a kitchen in operation, the intensity of the cook, and the ever-present doggy vacuum. great kitchen, so much light!!!!!! i miss summer.
I would imagine that at the "all white" dinner party they served fish quenelles and not fish canelés, although that might be pretty interesting...
I'm lucky enough to have eaten out of this kitchen! Ross taught me to not turn the turkey burgers too early and Cissy taught me to stay out of Ross's way! And that coffee machine is a FIERCE wake up call at 5:30 am.
When I think of Cissy I hear the loud groan of that fizzy-water machine and then her lovely lilting voice offering it the carafe around.
I want to be there now!
Love the kitchen! What is the breed of this dog?
the dog is a cirnecco del etna -- a teeny red doggie breed from Sicilly!
Like others have said above, I love the "actual use" photos. This is a fabulous kitchen. That cart is so clever and looks perfect for the space. I get the impression that they have good times there.
The dog looks like a miniature pinscher! I didn't know there was another breed that looked so much like a min pin! The dog is awesome! (The kitchen is pretty great too.)

Cape Verde
English (PDF) | Portuguese (PDF)
2012 Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor
In 2012, Cape Verde made a moderate advancement in efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labor. During the reporting period, the Government established a national committee to coordinate efforts to eliminate child labor; created a specialized unit for the prevention and elimination of child labor within the Ministry of Youth, Employment, and Human Resource Development; and adopted a Regional Action Plan to Combat Child Labor. Cape Verde also adopted a Poverty Reduction and Growth Plan that targets the elimination of child labor through development and education initiatives. In late 2012, Cape Verde's National Statistical Institute collaborated with the ILO to carry out a national child labor survey. Additionally, the Government continued to participate in a number of national and regional projects to combat child labor and enhance services to victims. Despite these efforts, Cape Verde continues to face legislative gaps, including a low compulsory education age and no protections against commercial sexual exploitation of older youth. Children in Cape Verde continue to engage in the worst forms of child labor, including in commercial sexual exploitation.
