Police: Airport security officer killed in Ohio
Sunday - 12/9/2012, 4:02pm EST
CLEVELAND (AP) - A Transportation Security Administration officer was fatally shot by her husband Sunday before he killed himself on an off-site parking lot at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, authorities said.
Before turning the gun on himself, the husband fired at a second TSA employee but missed, police spokesman Sgt. Sammy Morris said. The late morning shooting at an airport employee parking lot was an apparent homicide and suicide, Morris said.
No names were immediately released.
Morris said the husband and wife were estranged, but investigators weren't sure of a motive for the shooting.
The wife and the second TSA employee were commuting to work; the husband apparently followed his wife to the lot, blocked her in her car by his vehicle, and then began firing, Morris said. The other TSA worker wasn't hurt, police said.
Morris said the wife and the other TSA employee, a man, were not romantically involved.
The shooting occurred at a lot north of the airport in an industrial area along Interstate 480.

Kevin W. Bolden, 46, and Moneek Grant, 34, both of New Haven, Conn., were arrested earlier this month in Virginia, according to the Laurel Police Department.
News reports in Connecticut say Bolden and Grant are boyfriend and girlfriend.
Bolden is accused of trying to rob the PNC Bank in the 300 block of Main Street at about 10:50 a.m. on March 30, passing a teller a note demanding money and implying that he had a gun. When the teller confronted the man about whether he actually had a gun, the man fled empty-handed, police said.
Later that day, he robbed a bank in Gainesville, Va, police said.
Police in Virginia arrested him earlier this week after pulling him over for speeding and learning that he was wanted in Connecticut, according to The Washington Post.
Bolden was being sought in connection with robbing seven bank robberies and a hotel in Connecticut, the Post reported.orted.

CDCs and Cities
To the editor:
Consider the Hough area of Clevelanda former riot zone. There, CDC-sponsored houses are under construction and pre-sold for close to $250,000. Some units are rented with long-term options to buy, at reduced prices, through the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit [LIHTC]. Hough is still mostly African-American, and largely poor. But look at their community, before and after! Hough has been transformed into a clean, safe, attractive area.
True, the carefully planned mix of incomes and prices was designed to give current, poorer residents a chance to buy similar new houses on the same blocks as wealthier families. Middle-class residents move in; current residents climb into the middle class and choose to stay in the neighborhood. Some families never get much richer, but they live next to those who do. Far from keeping such places "ghettos," CDCs build normal, balanced communities.
Like most CDC projects, the Hough houses get no federal rent subsidy. Husock mistakenly claimsat least three timesthat "most" CDC housing is swollen with ill-gotten Section 8 money. It has been at least 15 years since any appreciable number of CDC houses or apartments got Section 8 set-asides. The rent vouchers Husock discusses are given to poor tenantsnot to CDCsand there are few of them. People use vouchers to rent from private landlords, not CDCs. Those in CDC-owned buildings can take the voucher elsewhere at any time.
CDCs use the LIHTCnot Section 8to subsidize construction or renovationnot rent. In the process, LIHTC imposes market discipline on all the housing it supportsthe very discipline Husock urges. Isolated cases of CDC failures only serve to show that the policing mechanisms of the LIHTC work: investors wrest housing from unsuccessful sponsors, and turn it over to more capable organizations. If they don't, investors and lendersnot the federal governmentlose serious money. The same discipline applies to private landlords in the program. If "generous subsidies" are Husock's worry, he can rest easy: the seventies are long gone.
Paul S. Grogan & Tony Proscio
Howard Husock replies:
True, CDC-built rental housing is no longer guaranteed "project-based" subsidies; but since housing-voucher holders can't find apartments that will accept them (see "Let's End Housing Vouchers," Autumn 2000), and CDCs are eager to do so, voucher holders wind up as CDC tenants. The handbook of the CDCs' main lobbying organization lists vouchers as one of the sources of federal money that CDCs should seek out, urging them to "encourage . . . legislators to provide new vouchers to meet the affordable housing needs of . . . low-income communities." That's the 2001, not the 1985, edition.
CDCs use federal funds and tax credits to build houses to sell to private owners. But "normal, balanced neighborhoods" do not necessarily result. LIHTC money comes with strings: HUD requires units to "remain affordable in the long term." Owners don't get to realize a profit upon resale and are discouraged from moving up and out.
And Hough is not a fait accompli. No one knows what will happen "after!" its pre-sold homes are occupied. Some middle-class buyers will see less disciplined, CDC-subsidized neighbors make their street less desirableand their greatest asset less valuable. A crack house or bordello next to a middle-class home might make for a "balanced" neighborhood but not an upwardly mobile one.
True revival of older neighborhoods requires minimal regulation, low taxes, and the initiative of residents. You can dragoon the private sector into building middle-class homes, but that does not make a middle class. Alas, we now have an entrenched CDC industry with a vested interest in building Potemkin villagesand keeping their fingers crossed.

Women's Basketball to face Buffs in 2012 WNIT
2012 WNIT Bracket | Ticket Information | Buy tickets | Pregame social details
GREELEY -- Northern Colorado Women's Basketball will face instate-rival Colorado on Wednesday night in the first round of the 2012 Women's National Invitation Tournament (WNIT).
The WNIT Selection Committee announced Monday night its 64-team field for this year's tournament, and the Bears (20-11) are an automatic qualifier to the field, thanks to their second-place finish in this year's Big Sky Conference standings.
The Bears and the Buffaloes will tip at 7 p.m. MT at Coors Event Center.
Northern Colorado is 6-9 all-time against Colorado, with the last game in the series coming in November 2007. The Bears won their four meetings against the Buffaloes but haven't defeated them since earning a 59-53 win on January 27, 1978.
This year's WNIT first round will conclude Friday, March 16, and the tournament will continue at participating host schools with a second round (March 17-19), third round (March 21-23), quarterfinals (March 24-26), semifinals (March 28-29) and a championship game (March 31).
The winner Wednesday night between Northern Colorado and Colorado will face either Drake or South Dakota this weekend in a second-round game. Details of that contest are to be determined.
The WNIT awards 31 automatic qualifying spots in its annual tournament, and those spots are filled each year by the best team available in each of the nation's 31 established conferences, after the NCAA Tournament makes its picks.
Northern Colorado, the only Big Sky team in this year's field, is one of 36 teams included with 20 or more victories this season, and it's also won eight of its past 10 games.
Colorado finished 10th in the Pac-12 Conference this season—its first year in the league—with a 6-12 record, and the Buffs are one of five Pac-12 teams in this year's WNIT field. This will be the Buffaloes' fourth trip to the postseason WNIT. CU is 7-3 in WNIT play after having advanced to the quarterfinals in 2011 and the semifinals in 2008.
Jason Alvine broadcasts all Northern Colorado Women's Basketball games, and his call can be heard on the UNC Radio Network, via Web cast on UNCBears.com.
Wednesday ticket information
Tickets for Wednesday night's game are $9 for general admission and $16 for reserved courtside seats. Those can be purchased beginning 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, either online at www.CUBuffs.com/tickets, or by calling 303-492-8337.
Pregame social
A pregame social gathering for fans of Northern Colorado Women's Basketball will be held at 5:15 p.m. Wednesday, March 14, at Old Chicago in Boulder (1102 Pear Street). No reservation is needed. Come out and support the Bears before they take on the Buffs!

All the end points and outcomes measures will be evaluated within 4 months from end of enrollment
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|March 2012
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|December 2013
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|December 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: bowel prep regimen
Each study subject will undergo a bowel preparation followed by a PillCam procedure.
Other: Pilcam colon capsule and PillCam™ Prep Procedure
PillCam® COLON 2 bowel preparation will include a clear liquid diet and administration of a purgative sulfate-free polyethylene glycol electrolyte lavage (SF-ELS) solution (e.g. Nulytely) divided into two doses: the first dose on the evening before the exam and the 2nd dose on the morning of the exam day.
Detailed Description:
Primary Scientific Objective Evaluate the effectiveness of the PillCam COLON 2 Prep Regimen in CD patients.
Secondary Objective To evaluate safety of the PillCam™ COLON 2 procedure in CD patients
- Study Hypothesis Crohn's Disease may be pan-enteric in nature and can affect the small bowel, the colon or both. PillCam COLON 2 may be used for visualization of both SB and colon mucosa in Crohn's Disease patients. However, bowel prep is required in order to evacuate all fecal matter prior to the exam and in order to propel the capsule and complete its traverse through the entire GI track within examination time.
- The study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the prep regimen in terms of transit, excretion and cleansing in CD patients
All end points will be evaluated within 4 months from end of enrollment.

Third year civil engineering student, Liban Mohamed, a co-op student with Public Works this summer, tweeted this photo from the West Block. This is the excavation work to construct the West Block's portion of the new underground Visitors' Welcome Centre.
Workers loading a fixture onto a construction elevator destined to top a chimney on the West Block's Mackenzie Tower.
The secret staircase inside the Mackenzie Tower is named after Alexander Mackenzie, Canada's second prime minister. Mackenzie, whose office was in West Block, was apparently leery of lobbyists and used the secret staircase as an escape route.

Mackenzie, who was in office from 1873 to 1878, had his office in West Block. The Mackenzie Tower, the building's tallest tower, also to be completely dismantled and rebuilt as part of the restoration work.

The West Block is one of four Parliament Buildings under construction as part of the Public Works' multi-billion-dollar rehabilitation project. It's expected to cost $2.64-billion by 2018. West Block's renovation is expected to cost $863-million and is expected to be completed in 2018.

And the Braves basically dominate the south :) Great to see!
During last year's off-season I created a twitter account dedicated to the Atlanta Braves. I had a blast going through the ups and downs of the season despite the fact 2011 ended up being the mother of all facepalms for the Bravos. With only 81 days until opening day hope springs eternal.
During the 2012 campaign I'll post some quick thoughts during the season. There are a lot of great blogs that will go into a lot more detail. This Braves tumblr will be a way to cope. Even if the Braves win 100 games in 2012 that means 62 pain inducing losses.
Let's go Braves!

November 02, 2010, 12:13 PM — What does corporate IT think of Office 2010?
While there's enthusiasm for the new version of Office, according to a survey of 950 IT professionals conducted by Dimensional Research, there's no rush to roll it out: Enterprise IT views Office 2010 as a complex and daunting upgrade.
Eighty-five percent of survey respondents plan to upgrade to Office 2010 eventually, but only 18% have plans to deploy broadly in 2010. As of now, only 4% have Office 2010 fully deployed in their environments, and 52% have not deployed it in any way. The rest are deploying Office 2010 on test machines or on new machines only.
A majority of survey respondents (78%) cited concerns keeping them from doing a migration this year, with the top concerns being the new ribbon interface, compatibility with current applications and licensing.
"At this time it seems that migration concerns are outweighing confidence of a speedy Office 2010 migration, said Diane Hagglund, senior research analyst for Dimensional Research.
The Ribbon user interface, where a set of toolbars are arranged on tabs across the top of an Office document, was introduced in Office 2007 and enhanced in Office 2010. Still, Office 2003 users remain intimidated by it. According to the survey, 45% of respondents are worried about training employees on the new Ribbon interface. Incompatibility with add-in applications was also listed as worrisome by 33% of survey respondents. Incompatibility with Office 2003 formats was listed as worrisome by the same amount of respondents, 33%.
[ For complete coverage on Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system -- including hands-on reviews, video tutorials and advice on enterprise rollouts -- see CIO.com's Windows 7 Bible. ]
Another concern is Microsoft's new model for volume licensing for Office 2010 called Volume Activation. More than half of respondents (56%) report they have concerns about this new approach, which require a system admin to set up a license server and requires all clients to activate Office 2010. The added administrative overhead that this model requires for system admins was cited as the most worrisome issue (41%).
"This arrangement is clearly more challenging than the traditional approach of just having a volume licensed version that you can put anywhere you want without any required 'activation,'" says Lubos Parobek, senior product manager at Dell KACE.
Also hampering the adoption of Office 2010, according to the survey, is the unwillingness to bypass Office 2007. When respondents were asked if they would upgrade from Office 2003 to Office 2007 as an interim step or go straight to Office 2010, only 37% said they would be skipping Office 2007.

I'm not very political person. I have only very superficial, slightest idea of politics-the party concerning for my welfare gets my vote. Yes, I vote. And read or watch the news on specific policies.That's all.
But I adored president Roh. He cared about human rights. He shed a tear for other people's pain. He casted a National Assembly member's nameplate at former dictator's, no, I rather say, a murderer's face. Maybe Mr. Roh was too emotional to be a politician.
My thought was, roughly, "At least he's here. " To help you understand this, I'll make simple explanation. Korea is very conservative country. How conservative? I think I'm very conservative person, but in Korea, I can be regarded as rowdy liberal. Moreover, this country's idea of so-called 'left-right' is so weird. Consider there's huge conservative party. And smaller, slightly less conservative party. And much more smaller, equally conservative party. And really small labour party.
And the huge one calls all the other parties a Lefty. Or more traditionally, a Red.
I think Joseph McCarthy's ghost chose his haunted house in Korea.
Believe me. Some Korean elders even didn't like the idea of Red T-shirts in 2002 World Cup Games.
Of course, there's North Korea up there. Avoiding the risk of war is not very bad idea. But if a politician call other person a Left, or a Red because the person is slightly liberal than himself? It's a different problem.
Former president Kim Dae-Jung and Roh were from the 'smaller, slightly less conservative' party. However, conservative Korean people regarded them as a Left.
Kim got a Novel Peace Prize in 2000, and we got V for Vendetta here in 2009. The Korean Candlelight Protest in 2008 is, a protest against importing beef at the very first time. But later it became a protest against the government of president Lee. They have threaten people in peaceful demonstrations with water cannon. They tried to wiretapping instant messengers. They censored portal site main. How lame. How shame. I don't even make any attempt to describe Lee's concept of Grand Korean Waterway.
To long. Sorry.
Anyway I'm very angry now. The police department sent 100 of police force to Roh's mortuary. They were disguised as common guest, but detected. The police department said "It seems that we need force there when the government party representative visited. "
"It seems", Huh.
They rejected a request of using central square to hold a memorial ceremony. They placed police buses in front of public incense-burning spaces for the dead. And the chief of Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said "Someone says it's cozier. "
"Cozier", Huh.
Now they are trying to ban people from gathering in specific events, I mean demo, and use Swine Flu as an excuse.
Though I'm still angry, but this is really, literally, ridiculous. I just burst into a nervous laughter. I can't believe my eyes.

I haven't said much about this because babies not sleeping? So normal, so common, right? What about toddlers who abandon their formerly stable and predictable sleeping routines? Still not abnormal and certainly attributable to any number of things. And God knows I'm not alone here, right?
Unfortunately, we're not dealing with a little bit of sleeplessness or the occasional night waking. No. P has decided recently that sleeping and napping? It's for suckas. And I honestly believe that in my quest to be a good mom, I may have created a proverbial monster.
How on earth did I do that? By always answering every cry or whimper. By never letting him cry for longer than it takes to appear cribside with a ready hug or cuddle or…the wrecker of all sleep habits…the "let's snuggle for a minute on the big bed while you settle back down". I know that last one is the culprit because now whenever I go to see what's wrong, P leans his entire body, safety be damned, towards our bed, pointing and speaking in that mysterious language he prefers over English.
I just want to clarify that the waking isn't just waking. It's also the flat refusal to sleep in some cases. Either way, he goes from being perfectly fine to basically standing up in crib screaming like he's being with poked with an electric cattle prod.
The first thirty or so times, the huz or I would go running in, convinced that he was, in fact, dying. But after innumerable diaper checks, itchy checks (he has a touch of eczema on his arm and sometimes it flares up and itches), considering the possibility of teething (and thus administering some pain relief) and countless bottles of milk (Yes, I said bottles. Shut up), we have concluded that there is actually nothing wrong with him other than his newly developed sense of autonomy, which we've decided we pretty much hate (and so does his sister because she can hear him through the walls.)
This means we have to do it. The evil three letter acronym…
Yes, we've resorted to the hated but generally very effective CIO (cry it out) or extinction method to put a stop to this because we have to dissuade him of this newfound and very accurate notion that if he cries, we will come running without fail and give him loads of love and affection. And I certainly don't blame him. Who wouldn't wake up several times a night for a yummy back scratch or a tummy rub or a cozy snuggle? But this waking up 4-5 times a night or just refusing to nap at all is like having an infant again. Except he's nineteen months old.
And before you jump all over me, just know that it's tearing my heart out. Listening to him cry like that and knowing that if I run in and pick him up, I will cancel out any bit of progress we've made, is incredibly painful for me, too. And the idea that he may think we have abandoned him is just twisting the knife. But I know it won't work any other way so after going in one or two times and hugging him (without picking him up) and then laying him back down, we don't go in anymore for at least 15-20 more minutes, which is an eternity for all of us.
It seems like the total crying time is slowly decreasing but it's still horrible and admittedly, it's also aggravating. WHY won't he just give it up and go to sleep, I wonder silently? And eventually…he does. But we know he will be up again later so we brace ourselves and fight the urge to drink copious amounts of NyQuil so we'll sleep through it next time. (Kidding. KIDDING!!!)

pretty poem
Both in joy and sadness of what is there written in word and heard in sounds...and it is all of this that intrigue has brought to the fore...to reach inside the depths of me and find the core. Do U feel it there? If you cannot then this is surely folly ...for I can feel you in my dreams whether they be in rest or fully awake...breathing there beside me...last night I called your name in tears before my head lay on the pillow....I will not run although I feel so...I will not hide for this is there too...what can I give thee....'Me' to share and to care ..to walk beside in day and unto the night..to laugh to cry to hold...to learn of all the world of creation..sharing each day ..every mile along the way..and wanting to...always.
In Shelter from the Storm...In storm ..always

reviews & comments (24)
Most of the reviews for this particular dish are so bizarre and seem to have not a lot to do with the actual recipe. I don't get it. That said, I think this recipe was okay. Nothing really special, but also not bad. I'd love to find a really good recipe for this squash as I think there's a lot of potential for making a really incredible Kabocha squash dish.
I was very surprised at how tasty this squash was. The ingredients are familiar to me so I thought it wasn't going to be anything new or great but I think this combination of spices and just the right amount of salt turned just squash into something I could eat all the time.
to veliasen: click on the link to the right, "Featured in Healthy and Satisfying Supper". The meat dish in that menu is Lemon Chicken, and that's what the photo shows.
I am going to try this tonight, does anyone know what the meat dish is in the picture? I wish they woudl include a whole meal.
I found this recipe to be a bit dry and not very flavorful. It was not bad but not great either.
I enjoyed making this recipe. What I don't enjoy on this section of the site is the negative behavior of posters. This ranges from the snide sniping and sneering I saw a few weeks ago between two cooks who obviously had differing tastes and resources, to the trolling, as in today's comments. I have complained twice and will continue to complain to the "contact us" section of the site, and request that comments be moderated. If the same behaviors bother you, "contact us" is there. This used to be a useful site, until the trolls showed up. It doesn't help when serious cooks forget their manners.

Beechler Diamond Inlay Alto Saxophone MouthpieceThe Beechler Diamond Inlay Alto Soundpiece mouthpiece provides the variations needed to produce an individual richness and quality of tone. Made of hard rubber. Choice of 3 bores and 6 facings.The Small BoreThe design of this bore enhances the higher frequencies of the instrument. The medium high baffle induces a fast air column which generates a powerful and brilliant sound rich in overtones. The embouchure can be shaped to favor the highs, creating an intense buzzing sound, or shaped to favor the lows, creating a mellow and vibrant sound.The Medium BoreThe design of this bore favors the medium high frequencies of the instrument. The open style baffle induces a medium fast air column which reduces the available power and brilliance giving a subtle flavor to the sound while maintaining an ease of projection. This chamber is suitable for saxophone sections or soloing with a combo.The Large BoreThe design of this bore favors the low to medium high frequencies of the instrument. This style of baffle induces a moderate air speed which lends itself to producing a dark sound suitable for close-miked or classical situations.

This mpc is an 8m, perfect if you like the big bright sound or the powerful low sub tone. B flat its there no problem. I have played a 7 * Lakey for years but this mpc gives me everything the Lakey has but a little more excitement than metal.
I've played Otto Link, Berg Larsen, Selmer, King, Van Doren, Brilhart and other mouthpieces for about 50 years now. Some were better for me in some ways, others in other ways but there was never "one" mouthpiece that did anything and everything I wanted it to. Over the past couple years I had begun to listen more and more to Gerald Albright's sound. Very bright but still with richness and depth, not tinny like some. I wanted to get that brighter sound and that's why I ordered the Beechler. But I was so pleasantly surprised, actually awed to discover the flexibility it offers. Just a slight adjustment of the embouchure and the sound goes from very bright with richness and depth to very mellow and expressive. Then I added a Van Doren Optimum ligature and I'm in heaven. I got the s8. Fabulous is an understatement.
This is one of the brightest sounding rubber mouthpieces I've ever tried. In fact, it's almost just as bright sounding as its metal version. It sounds wonderful, and the price is a deal well beyond any other expensive mouthpieces such as SR technologies, Jody Jazz or a Guardala mouthpiece. It's so cheap yet it's so amazing. I'm still trying to get over how great this mouthpiece works while it being so inexpensive. Might I also point out that several highly popular saxophonists use this mouthpiece whose names are: Gerald Albright, Dave Koz, Kenny G, and many more. I will advise you to look up these musicians and listen to their sound to understand the tone of this mouthpiece before you buy it. But overall, if you?re looking for that kind of sound, this mouthpiece will not disappoint you.
I bought several mouthpieces and this mouthpiece is the BEST. I purchased a S6 and i couldn't believe how great it was for its price. Its sound was incredible and every note played beautifully. I recommend you purchasing this mouthpiece if you are looking for something better.
They make the best mouthpiece for the price. This is the first non-stock mouthpiece that I bought for my alto sax and it was great. WICKED tone. I loved it so much it cause me to buy my first metal mouthpiece by Beechler

Heartburn/GERD Health Center
GERD and Acid Reflux in Infants and Children
Most infants occasionally spit up throughout the day. However, when regurgitation causes other problems or is associated with other symptoms, it may be due to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which can also occur in older children.
What Are the Symptoms of Acid Reflux in Infants and Children?
The most common symptoms of reflux in kids are:
- Frequent or recurrent vomiting
- Frequent or persistent cough
- Refusing to eat or difficulty eating (choking or gagging with feeding)
- Crying with feeding
- Heartburn, gas, or abdominal pain
Many other symptoms are sometimes blamed on gastroesophageal reflux, but much of the time, it isn't clear if reflux actually causes them. Other possibilities in young children and infants include:
- Colic
- Poor growth
- Breathing problems
- Recurrent pneumonia
What Causes GERD and Acid Reflux in Infants and Children?
Like in adults with the condition, gastroesophageal reflux is the upward movement of stomach contents into the esophagus and sometimes into or out of the mouth.
Usually, infants with the condition are otherwise healthy, but some babies have other problems affecting their nerves, brain, or muscles. According to the National Digestive Disease Information Clearinghouse, a child's immature digestive system is usually to blame. They add that most infants grow out of GERD by the time they are 1 year old.
In older children, the causes of GERD are also different than what is seen in infants and adults. Anything that causes the muscular valve between the stomach and esophagus (the lower esophageal sphincter or LES) to relax, or anything that increases the pressure below the LES, can cause GERD. Such things include obesity, overeating, constipation, and certain foods, beverages, and medications.
How Is Acid Reflux Diagnosed in Infants and Children?
Usually, the medical history as told by the parent is enough for the doctor to make a diagnosis of acid reflux, especially if the problem occurs regularly and causes discomfort. Occasionally, further tests are recommended. They may include:
- Barium swallow or upper GI series. This is a special X-ray test that uses barium to highlight the esophagus, stomach, and upper part of the small intestine. This test may identify any obstructions or narrowing in these areas.
- pH probe. During the test, the patient is asked to swallow a long, thin tube with a probe at the tip that will stay in the esophagus for 24 hours. The tip is positioned, usually at the lower part of the esophagus, and measures levels of stomach acids. It also helps determine if breathing problems are the result of reflux.
- Upper GI endoscopy. This is done using an endoscope (a thin, flexible, lighted tube and camera) that allows the doctor to look directly inside the esophagus, stomach, and upper part of the small intestine.
- Gastric emptying study. During this test, the child drinks milk or eats food mixed with a radioactive chemical. This chemical is followed through the gastrointestinal tract using a special camera. Some patients with GERD have a slow emptying of the stomach that may be contributing to the reflux of acid.

Considerations regarding the quality of taxable person in respect of VAT for natural persons
AbstractIn recent years, the quality of taxable person in respect of added value for natural persons has raised vivid discussions, especially in terms of real estate transactions made by such persons. In what follows, we intend to shape the scope of those activities which, being performed by the natural person, calls for them the quality of taxable person, with all the consequences arising, and to mention the deficiencies of the incident legal texts.

This morning the protest was a little quieter as heaps of cholitas took to the main street outside our window to protest. We didn't really catch on to their demands but I do like the tough, practical attitude of these ladies.
Often one would step out of the parade to change a nappy (they often have kids in those blankets on their backs) or chat to a friend.

SMB specialist website Entrepreneur Country has released the results from the interactive surveys conducted during their ACCELERATE Forum at the Royal Institution of Great Britain last October.
The event saw 361 entrepreneurs, investors and business professionals attend the ACCELERATE Forum. With keynote speeches from Julie Meyer, Lloyd Dorfman, Tim Levene, Austin Healey, Tim Leeson, Martyn Dawes, Will King, Kevin Godlington and James Caan; the event was an opportunity for entrepreneurs present and future to share inspiration, insight and opinion.
During the event, attendees were invited to vote via the iPod Touches which they were provided. The questions were designed by the Entrepreneur Country editorial team to include topical issues which are impacting SMEs in the UK.
Below are some of the results:
Importantly, of the 361 people polled, most respondents thought social media to be the most important growth sector for small businesses in the next five years.
This was supported by a vote on innovation where the majority of people polled claimed that digital innovation would be the most significant area for innovation over the next three years.
Focus then turned to the economy and the impact of the downturn on entrepreneurial spirit and the forecast for small businesses. Surprisingly the responses were largely positive with only 31% of people saying they think the state of the economy is making life harder for start-ups.
And lastly, there was a positive note for any young entrepreneurs when over half of the attendees at the ACCELERATE Forum divulged that they were 35 or younger when they started their current company. It can be done!

And yeah, it was a relief. Harper made a game-saving grab in right field and had a couple of big hits at the plate to help the Washington Nationals beat the San Francisco Giants 2-1 in 10 innings on Wednesday. San Francisco had runners on first and second with one out in the eighth when Harper had to dive to grab Hunter Pence's...

Hey. I actually ordered four colors to compare. The crystal pink (probably would look good on bloods), red tortoise (good vibrant color), polarized tortoise, and then cinder black. I kept the cinder black which is a pretty cool color with hints of bergundy/black. The fit of the sunglasses is fairly large for a small face...but not too oversized like some other sunglasses. Overall, it's a pretty cool looking frame and fits pretty good.

Help Wanted: Alpha Male to run our Wall Street Bank into the Ground
This old and established Wall Street financial firm is looking for a ballsy, take no prisoner's type to run our firm into the ground.
The ideal candidate will have the morals of a John Wayne Gacy and the conscience of Dick Cheney.
Our man--white, of course--will be well schooled in the "Enron" school of accounting. To help in this enterprise of keeping two sets of books, you will have access to a VERY generous off the books slush fund, which will be used to curry favor with certain DC politicians and to keep our MSM "news" anchors living the lifestyle which we are paying for.
The "Vlad the Impaler" type that we choose to be our next CEO should also not be squeamish when it comes to looting the firm, since a lot of the assets stolen will belong to elderly stockholders and pension funds.
Our man should have excellent knowledge in "pumping and dumping" stock and a VERY extensive background in selling what we call toxic sludge, but what our "news" people call Mortgage Backed Securities or MBS.
You will be in charge packaging and selling this MBS slop like it was caviar around the world, to the tune of of over 300 BILLION dollars. And in turn, you will buy back other firms MBS in excess of 500 BILLION dollars.
You will use the company slush fund to feed disinformation to the press and DC, presenting MBS as great investments.
Once the company has acquired hundreds of billions of these worthless pieces of paper, you will then use that same slush fund to inform our media friends, ever so discreetly, that our firm is teetering on the brink of disaster, but not before placing hundreds of billions of short selling positions against our firm on various exchanges.
If you're the type that makes a clanging sound when you walk and have no ethics whatsoever, then you're the man we want.
Call our global executive officer Lou Cypher, at 1-800-666-1984 for an interview.

She considered offers from Georgia Southern and George Mason before settling on Temple, where she plans to major in physical therapy.
This spring, her goals are to run under 12 seconds in the 100 meters and to jump 20 feet in the long jump. She will also try the high jump.
Mobley has no doubt McCluskey made the right decision to run track in college.
"Her parents, myself and coach [Kyree] Edwards, we joke and say we're saving our money up for the 2016 Olympics. We really feel she's that quality of an athlete. Now with track as her focus, we feel the sky's the limit."
For a few days more, however, McCluskey will focus on basketball.
"That's what I've been thinking about these past couple weeks ever since I committed to Temple. After this, basketball is over for me.
"It hurts, but at the same time I can still get with my friends and have games at the gym, but it's not going to be the same as it was playing in a real game. I'll probably be coming to Bri's games [at Maryland] to watch her and she's like, 'Don't forget me when you go to the Olympics. I'm coming with you,'" McCluskey said with a laugh.

Moby Wrap Inc. was started by parents looking for the perfect baby carrier. After extensive research and trying countless slings and wraps, their solution was a variation on a time-tested European carrier. Made from the softest of cotton fabrics, the Moby Wrap is by far the most comfortable baby carrier available today. It distributes baby's weight evenly on the wearer's shoulders and hips and aligns baby's center of gravity as close to the wearer's body as possible. Since its inception in April 2003, MOBY (MOther & baBY) has focused on sharing the benefits of babywearing with parents and caregivers worldwide. With informed parenting as its mission, Moby partners with other organizations that emphasize empowering parents. Moby Wrap moved out of the founders' garage and into a warehouse in Chico, California in 2007 and currently employs 15 staff members.
Moby Wraps are made in Chiang Mai, Thailand by Moby Co. Ltd. which is owned jointly by the Moby Wrap founders and their Thai partners. The salaried staff enjoy generous wages, bonuses and health care. Most importantly Moby Co. Ltd. provides a friendly and respectful work environment.
After the birth of my son Nathan, I wanted a baby carrier that would allow him to be with me while I continued my work as a parent educator. I created the Moby Wrap and named it for the feeling of closeness and connection between mother and baby (MOther + baBY).
My wish is that your Moby will help you and your baby experience the joys of babywearing.

John Edwards first entered organized motor racing in karts in 2003, winning the Great Lakes Sprint Series Junior Briggs Restricted Championship. In October of that same year he became the youngest ever licensed driver in U.S. open-wheel road racing.
Competing in the Skip Barber Formula Dodge Race Series on January 17, 2004, Edwards first won at the historic Daytona International Speedway, becoming the youngest winner in open wheel road racing history. His first year in racing concluded by being selected as the sole winner of the coveted 2004 Red Bull Driver Search, a program designed to find the next American Formula One World Champion.
To begin 2005, Edwards moved to Europe, first competing in international karting. Edward�s early mid-year promotion to the highly competitive Formula Renault Cup and EuroCup Series resulted in him becoming the youngest in history to hold a FIA license, and the youngest to compete in the Formula Renault series. After a first year of learning and "baptism by fire," he completed a successful campaign in 2006, with podium finishes at Spa-Franchorchamps and the Nurburgring, and his first European victory at Anderstorp. In 2007, Edwards set another �youngest-ever� record racing in the ultra-competitive Champ Car Atlantic Championship. He recorded one podium finish, with second place at Toronto, as well as many other top-five finishes, ultimately ending 9th in the championship standings.
In 2008, Edwards collected the Star Mazda Championship, climbing the Mazda driver development ladder into an Atlantic Championship seat for 2009. He claimed four victories and four pole positions on his way to capturing the 2008 Star Mazda crown.

Palestinians: Peace process should erase Israel
Israel Today | Wednesday, November 10, 2010 | Ryan Jones
Palestinians: Peace process should erase Israel
The Palestinians have conducted another public opinion poll that shows the same results as those before it, that most Palestinians support the peace process, but only if it ultimately results in Israel's eradication.
Conducted by Arab World for Research and Development, the poll again showed that a large majority of Palestinians (66.5 percent) support peace negotiations, and an even larger number (73.8 percent) even want direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian leadership to resume.
As usual, that is where left-wing Israeli and international media outlets stopped reporting.
The rest of the poll reveals that while most Palestinians are in favor or a diplomatic process with Israel, like their leaders, they view it as a strategy for defeating the Jewish state in the absence of a viable military option.
Asked if the Palestinians should compromise on red-line issues like the demand to flood Israel with millions of so-called "Palestinian refugee," control of Jerusalem or final borders, an overwhelming 85.2 percent said there should be no compromises for peace.
Respondents were then asked to rate certain aspects of the peace process from "essential" to "unacceptable." Over 83 percent said that replacing Israel with a Palestinian Arab state from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea is either "desirable" or "essential."
The feelings of the Palestinian general public and the fact that they are evidence the Palestinian leadership has not educated its people for peace will, of course, be ignored by international peace brokers like the US and European Union.

The smell that comes out of the place is always lovely.

It was a matchup between top-tier and lower-tier Southern Athletic League teams Friday afternoon when 7th place Turlock Christian High hosted 2nd place Delhi High in a game that was originally scheduled to be played on Wednesday.
A late seventh inning rally from Atwater saw two runs scored to put the Falcons up by two against Pitman High as the defense kept cool in the next half inning and the game ended in a 5-3 home loss for the Pride.
Turlock and Pitman High softball teams marked the end of the first round of league play with an old fashioned rivalry game Tuesday afternoon. In the first cross-town matchup of the season, the Pride welcomed the Bulldogs to Arrowhead Field where the two waged a defensive battle for much of the game.
Rivalries, especially in high school sports, can be very competitive and come down to the wire and that's exactly what happened on the tennis court on Tuesday when Denair traveled to Delhi to take on the Hawks in a Southern Athletic League matchup.
Despite missing four starters due to injury or illness, Turlock High managed to hold off a pesky Buhach Colony High squad for a 1-0 victory on Monday to remain unbeaten at 4-0-1 in the Central California Conference.
The sun was shining bright and early on Saturday, an added bonus to the local swimmers competing as part of the 12 school teams at the Nor Cal Relays at Johansen High. The bright outlook continued, at least for Pitman High, which ended the day on top in overall points.
Despite Turlock Christian's small tennis team, the Eagles still managed to come away with two wins against Delhi on Friday in five matches after forfeiting four for the day.
The Pitman Pride boys tennis team has gone through a few learning curves, but on Thursday they seemed nearly unstoppable after dominating Buhach Colony 9-0 at home.
Just before meeting up with Turlock High in that annual crosstown rival clash on the softball field, the Pitman Pride downed Golden Valley High 6-1 on Thursday.
After falling to Central California Conference foe Merced High on Wednesday, 3-2, the Turlock Bulldogs bounced right back on Friday as the picked up the win with the help of starting pitcher, sophomore Jon Temple.
Turlock Christian High continued its uphill battle against its Southern Athletic League opponents when the Eagles softball team hosted Mariposa County High on Friday. Though the Lady Eagles showed signs of improvement against Waterford High a week ago-losing by only three runs as opposed to double digits-they were ultimately unable to overcome the Grizzlies as they lost 13-1 in five innings.
Winds reached as high as 25 miles per hour on Monday as 17 local high schools gathered at Stevinson Ranch for the sixth annual Hilmar Golf Invitational.
The participants of the second annual County Clash Meet, between Stanislaus and Merced counties on March 29, were decided on Friday at the Stanislaus County Meet, which saw 60 local athletes make the top-eight cut of their respective events.
Pitman High football and wrestling standout Logan Wolfley added another accolade to his already impressive career on Thursday night.
Delhi High's softball team earned a much needed win over Southern Athletic League rival Denair High Friday afternoon to improve its league record to an even 1-1. Just two days after dropping a one-run loss to Mariposa High in the seventh inning, the Hawks beat back the Coyotes 7-2 to set up must-win matchup against Waterford High on Wednesday.
The Denair Coyotes held down their home turf at Jack W. Lytton Stadium Friday night when they defeated the visiting Argonaut High Mustangs, 18-14, in an all-out defensive battle.
Hilmar High remains winless at home after Fresno High spoiled the Yellowjackets' homecoming celebrations with a 24-21 victory at McSweeney Field Friday night.
The Turlock High varsity football team, fresh off a 27-21 upset victory over Clovis West last week, was looking to start a winning streak heading into week five action. But things didn't end well on Friday for the Bulldogs, who lost to Modesto High, 33-28, at Downey High's field.
Q. How is this year's team different than last year's?
Everything went the Hawks' way in Delhi's league opener against Southern Athletic League rivals Denair High Tuesday, with the end result a 6-1 win.
Turlock tennis head coach Linda Bejaran said the girls were a bit nervous going into their opening league game on Tuesday, but it wasn't apparent as most of her players finished with confidence - and a 7-2 victory over a visiting Atwater team.
Pitman soccer began its Central California Conference play with a 3-2 win over Golden Valley after traveling to Merced to square off against the Cougars.
Turlock High's volleyball team bounced back from last week's straight-set loss to Hilmar High with a straight-set victory of its own in Monday's Central California Conference home opener against Golden Valley High.
The Pride volleyball team continues to roll over their opponents after trouncing the Falcons of Atwater (25-20, 25-10 and 25-19) in Monday's Central California Conference opener.
The Hilmar High Yellowjackets put up quite a fight on their home field Friday, but couldn't hold off the Sonora High offense, which scored the tie-breaking touchdown in the final seconds of an overtime game.
