Chapter 3:
A. Mount McKinley National Park
Mount McKinley National Park was established on February 26, 1917, when President Wilson signed the bill that Congress had passed just a week earlier. The park was the brainchild of Charles Sheldon, a wealthy hunter-naturalist from Vermont, who had first visited the area in 1906 and had been so captivated by the experience that he returned a year later, built a cabin along the Toklat River, and spent the winter there. Sheldon, though a visitor, lived a subsistence lifestyle, killing meat as necessary for sustenance. Though particularly interested in Dall sheep, he was highly intrigued by the area's caribou populations and, as historian William Brown notes, "birds, bears, moose, foxes, and the multitudes of small creatures [also] caught his attention." During his ten-month stay along the Toklat River he befriended several Kantishna miners and also met some market hunters, but so far as is known, he met few if any area Natives. [3]
Sheldon hatched the idea of a "Denali National Park"based on a "heraldic display of wildlife posed against stupendous mountain scenery"in a January 1908 journal entry. He did not immediately act on that idea, however. In August 1912, Congress passed an act that created an Alaska Railroad Commission; this was followed two years later by the Alaska Railroad Act, which paved the way for a government-backed railroad connecting the Gulf of Alaska with the Alaskan interior. Sheldon's concerns turned to alarm in April 1915, when President Wilson announced that the route to be followed, from Seward to Fairbanks, would go through the Nenana River Canyon, just east of the magnificent gamelands where he had lived and studied. [4] Worried that a railroad to the area would bring market hunters who would decimate the area's wildlife, Sheldon acted. Five months later, the influential Boone and Crockett Club, of which Sheldon was a longtime officer, formally endorsed a McKinley park proposal.
The park idea, once released to the public, soon captured the imagination of many members of the Eastern elite. But Alaskans, by contrast, were solidly against any bill that promised restrictions against hunting, either by setting bag limits, imposing unreasonably short hunting seasons, or instituting hunting closures over specified geographical areas. The McKinley park bill, realistically speaking, affected only one populated area. But that areathe Kantishna mining districtwas well known to Alaska's delegate, James Wickersham (who had reconnoitered the area during his unsuccessful attempt to climb Mount McKinley in 1903), and the park proposal called for much of the Kantishna area to be surrounded by parkland. Wickersham was normally a conservationist; he was familiar with the park's backers and had attended several Boone and Crockett Club dinners over the years. [5] But in order to mollify his Kantishna-area constituents, he demanded that language be inserted into the park bill allowing local prospectors and miners to "take and kill game or birds therein as may be needed for their actual necessities when short of food; but in no case shall animals or birds be killed in said park for sale or removal therefrom, or wantonly." [6]
Given that language, the McKinley park bill passed the Senate unanimously in 1916 andlargely on the basis of a National Geographic Magazine article that appeared the following JanuaryHouse action quickly followed. What emerged from the legislative battle was the nation's second largest national park. (Only Yellowstone was larger.) But from the point of view of subsistence users, the bill was particularly remarkable because Mount McKinley, unlike any other national park or monument, legalized subsistence hunting, at least under certain conditions. For more than a decade following the bill's passage, Mount McKinley was the only national park where local hunters legally enjoyed that privilege. [7]
It was clear from the Congressional hearings preceding the park's establishment that the protection of game populations from market hunters was the park's primary goal, and the NPS's management activities during the park's initial years were also clearly focused in that direction. But the agency's work was severely hampered by a lack of money. Although the park bill passed in early 1917, Congress did not vote to authorize operating funds until midway through the 1920-21 fiscal year, and the first NPS representativeSuperintendent Henry P. "Harry" Karstensdid not arrive until June 1921. [8] During those intervening four years, the government railroad crept ever closer to the park. Some feared the worst about the effect of that access on game populations; one area visitor noted that "there has been great destruction of game and fur-bearing animals" in the park, while another feared that "the Mt. McKinley Park meat hunters appear to be slaughtering without stint." A Kantishna-based observer, however, flatly stated in a February 1920 letter [quoted verbatim] that these accounts are
Once on the ground, Karstenswho had lived in the north country for more than twenty years and was locally known as the "Seventy Mile Kid"was forced to work virtually from scratch. Operating on the most meager of budgets, he and his assistants had to to spend much of their time constructing park buildingseither near McKinley Park Station, at the present-day headquarters complex, along the park road, or at various perimeter locations. The cabins along the perimeter, and along the park road as well, supported extended ranger patrols against market hunters, and by the late 1920s depredations against the park's wildlife were becoming increasingly rare. Rangers recognized, however, that the original park boundaries had failed to include some of the most favorable sheep and caribou habitat. So to better protect the area's megafauna, the park's boundaries were expanded in 1922 and again in 1932. [10]
As noted in the previous chapter, the NPS, on a nationwide basis, had an inimical attitude toward hunters during this period; it was explicitly mentioned in both Secretary Lane's 1918 letter to Director Mather, and was mentioned again in Secretary Work's 1925 letter. [11] That attitude, combined with the clear recognition that much of the early park rangers' effort at Mount McKinley was being expended to combat the depredations of market hunters, did not bode well for the legitimate rights of area subsistence hunters.
Part of the problem, Karstens soon learned, was one of definition. The park's enabling act specifically allowed local residents to "take and kill game or birds therein as may be needed for their actual necessities when short of food," but what was the difference between gathering "actual necessities when short of food" (by prospectors and miners) and poaching (by market hunters and recreational sportsmen)? NPS officials in Washington, in 1921, sent Karstens a series of strongly-worded draft regulations, which empowered park staff to punish violators of the poaching ban with the confiscation of their game and their hunting outfits. They were less helpful, however, in formulating a system that would prevent market hunters and poachers from masquerading as prospectors and miners. Karstens, asked for his opinion on the matter, pushed for a regulation that would allow local miners to feed game meat to their dogs under hardship conditions, and he also pushed for a special exception for two local Indian groups, who often engaged in springtime hunting in the park because they had exhausted the dried and smoked fish supply laid out the previous summer. The final regulations did not specifically allow for either provision. They did, however, require that prospectors and miners keep tabs of the game that they killed, and on an informal basis, NPS officials let it be known that the local Indians' needs for food was a delicate issue, suggesting that enforcement actions against them be undertaken only under egregious circumstances. [12]
The obvious ambiguities regarding the hunting provision became a headache to Karstens almost as soon as he arrived at the park; conservationists railed about the wanton killing of park game, while those representing the mining constituency propounded opposing arguments. At times, such as when Interior Secretary Work prepared his 1923 report to the president, concern over wanton game killing (justified or not) rose to such heights that proposals were made to repeal the hunting provision. But his recommendation was not backed up by either Congressional action or by a sufficient park budget to hire a sufficient ranger force to terminate poaching and market hunting. (From 1922 to 1924, Karstens and an assistant ranger comprised the entire park staff.) And the difficulty in identifying deserving game users finally forced Karstens to urge a change in the regulation. As he noted in a January 1924 letter,
Karstens's letter gave further evidence to those who hoped to repeal the hunting provision. Meanwhile, problems continued. A park ranger, for example, cited local resident Jack Donnelly for killing and transporting game from the park, but a local jury, in February 1924, failed to convict him "because of the reluctance of the people ... to convict anyone for illegal hunting." That same month, influential Outside outdoorsman William N. Beach was convicted of illegally killing a sheep in the park after openly boasting of the deed to a Washington NPS official. (He was fined $10 and court costs.) And as late as 1927, Chief Ranger Fritz Nyberg was well aware that there were at least 25 trappers operating along the park's boundaries, "practically all" of whom "have dogs that are fed from caribou and sheep." But neither funds nor cabins were sufficient to patrol the park's boundary and prevent depredations. [14]
Those who, in light of today's attitudes, were genuine park-area subsistence users were treated unevenly when discovered by NPS rangers. So far as the records indicate, no local non-Natives were cited for slaughtering game meat in the park, primarily because rangers, on their patrols, discovered that virtually every person found with a freshly-killed animal claimed to be a prospector or miner. Once, however, Natives were arrested under similar circumstances. On November 15, 1924, a park ranger caught two Nenana men, Enoch John and Titus Bettis, with four freshly-killed sheep within the park boundary. The two men freely admitted their guilt and were "pretty well scared and repentant" to park officials. But they committed their offense because of ignorance: "some of the white men around Healy" had advised them that these hunting grounds were outside of the park, and park officials were also quick to recognize that John's health was poor, his eyesight was failing, and his family's "living conditions were bad and they had very little food in the house." Superintendent Karstens, asked to resolve the matter, simply asked the two Natives to sign an affidavit acknowledging their act, and he also admonished them "to use their good influence with the tribe and tell them they must not hunt in the park." Acting Director Arno Cammerer, upon receiving Karstens's report, congratulated him on the "excellent manner in which you handled these cases" and that "publishing your disposition of these cases in Healy was good business and will be helpful." [15]
Karstens's January 1924 letter, as it turned out, proved critical in the battle over the fate of the park's controversial hunting provision. The letter, combined with other reports that documented wholesale killing of park wildlife, jolted park protectors into convening the following month and organizing an anti-hunting legislative strategy. That strategy finally bore fruit on May 21, 1928, when Congress repealed the hunting provision. For more than fifty years after the passage of that act, hunting of all types was prohibited in Mount McKinley National Park. [16]

Stockland Head Office, Sydney
16 April 2009
Thank you Tony.
I would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of this lang, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, and pay my respects to their elders, past and present.
It is a pleasure to be here in Sydney today in this impressive building.
We are reminded that Sydney is a place with a rich history — from the time of early European settlement, this city has evolved from a maritime hub to a thriving, modern urban centre - a city of great physical beauty, culture, commerce and regional importance.
And the layers of this history are inscribed in the buildings around us.
Walking not far from here, towards Circular Quay, there are pockets of Sydney's earlier history.
In some places, you can imagine how the city was before the high rises of the CBD.
You can imagine how it was before those great feats of modern engineering and architecture, the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House — icons of our built environment that define Sydney and Australia on the world stage.
These are all layers of our city, and today we celebrate another layer, with the certification of the 100th Green Star rated building — part of the evolution to a greener, more sustainable city.
I would like to congratulate Stockland on the investment to make its work environment more sustainable and energy efficient.
In particular, I recognise the leadership of Managing Director Matthew Quinn, Commercial Property CEO John Schroder and their teams in showcasing sustainability excellence through the Stockland Sydney Head Office.
This is the first AUstralian office interior to achieve the 6-star Green rating - signifying 'World Leadership'.
Refurbishing an existing building to this standard is far harder than creating a new green building.
And it's worth asking - when this is what can be achieved through a retrofit, why should we expect any less from new buildings, where energy efficiency can be built-in from the ground up?
This is the 100th Green Star project to be certified since 2002.
As you know, Green Star is a world leading system that rewards innovation and environmental excellence.
That's why today's 100th certification is an historic occasion for the built environment in Australia.
I congratulate the outstanding work of the Green Building Council of Australia as champions of sustainability in our commercial building sector, particularly the leadership of Tony Arnel and Romilly Madew within the industry.
In these tough economic times, sustainability remains critically important.
As corporate budgets get tighter, there is a strong business case for investing in cost-effective sustainability initiatives that will benefit the environment, improve staff morale and productivity, and save businesses money.
At this time in our economic history, we have an opportunity to make investments that both support jobs now and help build the low-pollution industries of the future, and this is very much the case in the commercial building sector.
The commercial building sector's energy use is posited to be responsible for at least 10 per cent of our carbon pollution — and by some measures, it's more.
This is a significant contribution and it also represents a significant opportunity for actions that benefit jobs now and benefit the environment for years to come.
The Government is currently developing and consulting with industry on new measures to inspire the evolution of greener cities and buildings, both residential and commercial.
We are working with the state and territory governments to develop a national mandatory disclosure scheme for commercial building energy efficiency.
This scheme will first be introduced in large commercial office buildings — like this one — providing purchasers and lessees with the ability to choose a building based on its actual energy efficiency and operating costs.
We are keen to work with industry to develop this scheme and have undertaken significant consultation in recent months.
At present, the average energy rating under the National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS), formerly ABGR, for commercial buildings is 2.5 stars on a 5 star system.
A national mandatory disclosure Scheme will increase the demand for energy efficient commercial buildings, raising the average NABERS energy rating, stimulating green jobs and bringing savings to businesses.
We recognise that the two commercial building rating systems in Australia, Green Star and NABERS, both have important roles to play in transforming the market for green buildings.
Recent research conducted by the Warren Centre for Advanced Engineering has reaffirmed the importance of rating tools.
The Warren Centre's Low Energy High Rise project, which received significant funding from the Australian Government and was also supported by Stockland, found that public reporting of energy and water performance ratings positively correlates with improved performance.
The study also said:
"[T]here is potential for most buildings to achieve a 4-star NABERS Energy base building rating with only limited recourse to major technical refurbishment, which corresponds to a performance improvement of approximately 30 per cent for an average building.
Extrapolated across the CBD office building sector, this would be equivalent to a 1.2 per cent reduction in Australia's total emissions." 1
That is a significant finding, and it's reinforced by the other benefits of commercial building energy efficiency like increased productivity, morale and health of the workforce.
Just looking around at the natural light and the sunny dispositions here at 'Stockhome', you can see these benefits at work.
The Australian Government recognises that access to capital is subject to competing business priorities â even when investments are clearly cost-effective and even in the best economic conditions.
That's why we established the $90 million Green Building Fund, helping to catalyse improvements in the energy efficiency of office buildings, and to date, the response has been very positive.
So we do recognise that a transformation in commercial building energy efficiency will require Government leadership and support, but it also requires champions from within the commercial building sector.
Again, today is about recognising the leadership of two of those champions - Stockland and the Green Building Council of Australia.
I encourage all businesses to follow their example, to create more workspaces like Stockland Sydney Head Office, and to make sure the 100th Green Star certification is the one of many, many more to come.
Thank you.

See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
These Halloween Ode poems are examples of Ode poems about Halloween. These are the best examples of Halloween Ode poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
'Trick or treat!' the children cried
As every door was opened wide,
Buckets and bags were filled with
Of cakes and biscuits and hundreds
of sweets
'Only to neighbours, the ones we
have listed,
'Don't go any further,' the parents
But a renegade group of two ghosts
and some ghouls
Were out to cause trouble and break
all the rules.
They jumped over fences and trampled
on flowers,
Whooping and shouting for what seemed
like hours
Parents and children were huddled up tight
Shaking their heads at this terrible sight
A little girl gasped and said to her friend:
'They're going to Miss Allwitches' house,
at the end!'
The gang stood and stared at the dark,
spooky dwelling
Then once more began all the shouting
and yelling
With all of the noise, they were quite
Of the strange little lady, hovering there
By the time they all looked it was simply
too late
She had lifted her wand and they realised
their fate.
With a flash and a pop! The crowd all
As one by one the spooks disappeared
'Will they never learn?' The old lady sighed
And she winked at the crowd as she went
back inside.
With sirens a – wailing and lights flashing
Two police cars pulled up, and out stepped
a crew
Of burly policemen with big dogs in tow
Sniffing and pulling and raring to go
They searched all the gardens, the houses
and roads
But all that they found was a group of rare
Who were rescued and crated and put on a
And sent to a sanctuary, over in Spain
So beware trick or treaters, when knocking
that door
You might get more than you bargained for.
Enjoy all the treats that are given to you
But be kind to your neighbours – and Allwitches,
Twirling around and around in the Night Sphere
Creepy eyes that scream out for a Partner in Loungerie
plus 2
6 and then Twenty
The Boogeymen of the night
Catching the souls of the departed in flight
Sending them to the loneliest corner of Hell
With a Dunce Cap on every head that read:
A quiet empty trio of fools who did not play it cool while they were alive
Who refused to submit to the booze,the Pot,and all that Open Up Jive
Sweethearts on the dance floor where the Dead party all without a smile
Takes us back to that Halloween Trick or Treat town,at least for a little while
Mothers swing their Fathers
The Grim Reapers do their do-si-do
Harper Valley 1-800-NEXT-OF-KIN
Biting Teeth on a Harker Jonathan
Sipping blood with a grinning Mina
She is lovely in that shade of dead
Vein vessel blood all around her neckTAR and thy Head
Here in the ram shackled Studio 50 for DEAD
Dancers are the Boogeyshoes
With one eye alive and the other socket popped out
Sleep Deadly tonight Beneath the full moon and the Tango of cold Harvest Fright
They have said that to me ever since I was a wee boy
Lurking under the sheets,in the closet,behind one's back
Especially at night when we are susceptible to the vivid
imaginations of our peers' taunting ravings of Unmentionable
crawlers of the dark and fright
I would not sleep with the closet door half open to fill these
frightened pupils of what may hide behind
It would scare me out of my adolescent mind,to know that something
SINISTER would come from the shadows and SCARE me to death from behind
Every little boy or girl would be so sensitive to the Boogeymen stories that their
elders or friends would tell them,how green and deathly evil their eyes can be
when they look back at you.Is it purely imagination or something of a twisted and
macabre sense of humor that our brothers and sisters would like to throw back
at us..for kicks and thrills,Halloween night terrors of unimaginable thrills
When I was younger,the Man with a Forever Grin,would like to ridicule and
terrorize me with his Devil-may-bite smile and assistant ghosties who would play
along for the HELL of it.
I may be a grown man now,my friend,but whenever I pop a HALLOWEEN dvd in
my player,the mind cannot help but recollect the pictures of Night Terrors that
forever go bump in the night where I live..
I hope the same can be said of those same Vile screamers that terrorize us in
the first place..give them a taste of their own WICKED medicine

Did not know if I would be a big fan of this recipe as I was wary of the whole "pineapple" thing. It was delicious! I sliced the steak before marinating and when it was time dumped it all on a foiled broiler pan and broiled it until there were good charred bits on about 50% of the meat. The wife and I raved about this. Only used two teaspoons of chili garlic sauce in the dressing. Excellent!

Alpha Natural Resources on Monday officially announced the establishment of the Alpha Foundation for the Improvement of Mine Safety and Health.
The non-profit organization will seek to improve mine health and safety by funding academic and nonprofit research projects. Alpha contributed $48 million to the foundation.
"The safety of our employees is the highest value of our company, and mine safety and health is imperative to the success of our industry," said Alpha CEO Kevin Crutchfield. "We are proud to establish and fund the Alpha Foundation and also appoint three leading experts to advance its objectives. This presents a tremendous opportunity to drive the latest developments and innovation in mine safety and health to the benefit of miners around the world."
The foundation is being created as part of Alpha Natural Resources' non-prosecution agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office of Southern West Virginia from Dec. 6. The agreement followed the Upper Big Branch explosion in Raleigh County where 29 coal miners died.
The settlement totaled about $209 million, of which $80 million was to go to directly improve mine safety at all Alpha underground mines.
The agreement included settlements for the miners' families and does not prevent the prosecution of individuals within Massey Energy, the company that owned the mine at the time of the explosion. Alpha acquired Massey months after the explosion.
The foundation appointed three directors to administer the foundation: Dr. Keith A. Heasley of West Virginia University's College of Engineering and Mineral Resources; Dr. David H. Wegman, emeritus professor of work environment at the University of Massachusetts Lowell; and Dr. Michael E. Karmis, professor and director of the Virginia Center for Coal and Energy Research at Virginia Tech.
According to an Alpha news release, the foundation will host a kickoff meeting this summer to discuss funding priorities.
"Drs. Heasley, Wegman, and Karmis are leaders in mine safety and workplace safety, and I am pleased they have agreed to serve on the Foundation's board," U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said. "Each board member brings many years of research experience and world-class expertise that will help the Foundation foster life-saving advances in mine safety and health."
The foundation is to operate independently of the U.S. Attorney's office or Alpha Natural Resources.
"The research and development component of our agreement with Alpha holds the promise of breakthroughs that will transform mine safety in the coming decades," Goodwin continued. "The Foundation will jumpstart innovation and put brilliant minds to work on the risks that coal miners face. We look forward to a future in which coal mining is as safe as any other occupation."
Heasley is a professor of mining engineering at the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources at West Virginia University and a registered professional engineer in West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Heasley is developing a portable seismic system for locating trapped miners that can be set up within minutes of arriving at an accident site.
"As part of our land-grant mission and service to people of West Virginia, WVU is committed to excellence in mining education, research and extension," West Virginia University President Jim Clements said. "Through this work, we honor those who have lost their lives and seek to prevent such losses in the future. WVU pledges its experience and expertise to help this foundation with its important goals in mine safety research."
Gene Cilento, Glen H. Hiner Dean of the Statler College, emphasized the importance of Heasley's work in seismic detection of miners, funded by a $1.2 million grant from U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"Mining health and safety should be paramount to everyone associated with the industry," he said in a WVU news release. "Keith Heasley's scientific work in safety research and ground control will make him a valuable asset to the Alpha Foundation. I look forward to the committee's work to fund advancements in this vital energy industry that is so important to the state and nation."
Wegman was named emeritus professor of work environment at UMass Lowell in 2009 after serving a five-year term as Dean of the university's School of Health and Environment. Wegman's has also served as chairman of the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration's Advisory Committee on the elimination of pneumoconiosis among coal mine workers.
Karmis is the Stonie Barker Professor of Virginia Tech's Department of Mining and Minerals Engineering and director of the Virginia Center for Coal and Energy Research at Virginia Tech. According to the Alpha release, Karmis has conducted current and past research on various topics including the environmental impacts of mining, mine systems design, and mine health and safety.

It'll be an adjustment for Miami, which will likely start either Ronny Turiaf or Joel Anthony at center and keep Udonis Haslem in the opening lineup at power forward -- and that trio earned a tip of the cap from Indiana coach Frank Vogel on Monday when he called them ''three of the best dirty-work guys in the business.'' James will see some time at power forward as well, which isn't uncommon for Miami anyway.
The Pacers will also be doing some adjusting as well, after spending the buildup to this series preparing for James, Wade and Bosh.
''It changes their team, but we've got to understand it doesn't allow you to play 5-on-4,'' Vogel said. ''They've got great players they can fill in for him. They've got different lineups that are sometimes more effective than the lineup with Bosh. Obviously, not having to worry about Bosh helps because he's such a terrific player.''
Indiana got a look at what Miami will do without Bosh in the second half, when James and Wade dominated the ball. James took 17 shots in the second half, Wade took 13. No other Heat player took more than two shots after halftime.
''If Chris can't play it'll be really heavy, heavy pick-and-roll sets for LeBron and D-Wade,'' Indiana forward Danny Granger said. ''That's what it was when he went out of the game. They kind of lost their low-post presence so now those guys will dominate the ball even more, which makes my job and Paul George's job a little difficult, and our bigs, because they'll set multiple pick-and-rolls every possession.''
Granger's focus Monday wasn't entirely on defense, and the extra challenge that'll come with Wade and James having the ball in their hands more now. Indiana's top scorer had no points in the first half of Game 1, his lowest since April 10, 2007 - a span of 366 games including playoffs, according to STATS LLC.
Chances are, Granger won't be taking just 10 shots again on Tuesday.
''I expect guys to always be aggressive against me,'' James said. ''We'll see. I'm always ready for a guy to be aggressive, no matter who I'm going up against. So I won't be surprised by it, if he is.''

Hanami 2011 - Hirakiyama Park, Hakatajima Island
The final stop on the hanami cruise, Hirakiyama Park was chock-full of hilarious drunk people. In addition to countless salarymen making merry, the site also sported an observation platform and a crazy slide that nearly killed me. It was wicked fun!
(This was the damn slide that almost caused my untimely demise. It's very long and hilly and made of metal, as you can see. The skirt I wore that day was sheer and provided no friction; as a result, I careened down the slide at like one hundred miles an hour, got a foot of air on each of the hills, bruised my ass irrevocably, and nearly face-planted at the bottom. Fortunately, I regained my footing at the last second.
"HAYAI!" I shouted in horror. ("Fast!")
At which point a group of blitzed Japanese men began cheering and clapping for me. Not so bad, for a near-death experience!)

No matter how well-intentioned, there are those who simply will not be able to afford to meet their federal tax obligation this year. The April 15 filing deadline is days away. While more than a few circled this time of year in anticipation of a tax refund, others have dreaded it, knowing they'll owe the government money — often times money they don't have.
What do you do if you can't pay?
File anyway: Whether you owe money or not, you should still file your taxes or be among the Internal Revenue Service's estimated 300,000 Georgians filing an extension by Thursday's deadline. The penalty for filing late is no less than 5 percent per month of the tax due, up to 25 percent. An extension for time to file is not an extension to pay. However, the late-filing penalty is 10 times greater than the late-payment penalty.
Pay what you can: If you owe money, pay as much as you can when you file. If you file and pay 90 percent of your tax liability, you will not be fined with a failure-to-penalty as long as the remainder is paid by the extension deadline.
Don't run and hide: If you don't want to get on the IRS' bad side, then don't avoid them. Ignoring letters, dodging phone calls and willingly walking away from your tax obligation will get you nowhere fast.
"Communicate with us," said IRS spokesperson Mark Green. "Let us know what's going on. The process goes a lot smoother if you communicate."
If you don't, the results, like property liens and wage garnishments, can be brutal.
"Those are typically last resorts," said Corey Sutton, district manager for H&R Block. "But, once that action starts, it's very difficult to reverse that."
Work out a payment agreement: The IRS will work out a payment agreement in most instances. If you owe less than $25,000, you can sign up for an online payment plan. It will cost you a one-time fee of $52; the cost is $105 if the payments are not made electronically. You'll still pay 4 percent interest on the balance. To qualify for the installment plan or a short-term extension, you must have filed the prior year's tax return and paid all your previous tax liabilities.
Offers In Compromise: The Offers in Compromise allows the taxpayer and the IRS to settle for less than the taxpayer owes. This year, the compromise is not only based on past income, but on current and potential income as well. That gives the IRS more room to work with the recently unemployed or those having economic struggles.

I'd like to enforce the same tactless rules for paying money you simply don't have, to the IRS that they apply to us. After 3 years, I am STILL trying to get the IRS to send me my refund of $3500 that they are "investigating".I have no idea what they are investigating, but 3 years is more than enough time to find out that a lowly average Jane is up to.

I have a payment arrangement with the IRS. However, the interest and penalites I pay every month are more than the payments I make. They did take my refund for 2009 to pay towards the debt, which is fine with me. I'll never get this paid for with what they charge back each month. It's almost as bad as repaying a loanshark.

Two years in a row the IRS screwed up my return. One year, I did the e file. I got confirmation that the e file was submitted along with my payment, yet 6 months later, they start hounding me for my return. They accepted the payment with no problem, yet too their time to notify me of a problem with the return.
Last year, they waited until July to tell me my return was incomplete and claimed I owed an additional $400. I contacted them and was told all I need was to resend my deductions. How they got lost, I don't know as they had all the other documents. I faxed a copy of the deductions. In October, I get mails indicating I still owe $400. I had a confirmation that the fax transmitted, yet they somehow did not get my fax…..I sent it a second time……I never heard back. I expect by June, they will find a way to claim I still owe them money. Of course, there is still 2009's return to wonder how they will screw that up.

How do some people get by without filing a tax return? I know a man who said he has not filed in over 10 years. I saw a news article recently that verified IRS knows there are people who don't pay. It's not fair that some pay in every year and others owe thousands of $$ but get them reduced by thousands and only "pay a fraction of what they owe?"
April 15th, 2010

Redwood, far better to make all of us pay taxes than just over 1/2 of us, wouldn't it? That's the Fair tax concept. Learn a little about it before talking delusional.
Everyone should pay, no excuses. Balance the level of play here.
I sure don't see it happening, but it makes more sense, which definitely shuts down most of the government's justification for pulling $$ out of all of our pockets.

My wife and I made $6000 too much last year and now we have to pay an extra $7000 in taxes. That's the problem with these tax brackets. Sure wish I was one of the 47% of Americans not paying ANY income tax this year. I SUPPORT THE FAIR TAX!
April 15th, 2010
11:16 am
If you were.one of the 47%, you wouln't have your house, your cars, or your standard of living.
What brackets did you jump where the additional tax was larger than the additional income? Without that info, I'll just say that's hard to believe.
April 16th, 2010
10:35 am
The extra $7000 came from not enough being withheld from our checks I always try to keep it close so I end up paying less than $500 on April 15th. The higher tax bracket bumped up what we owe, so not enough was withheld. As for my standard of living, I live within my means. My truck is 7 years old, wife's van is 5. Have a 18 year old Honda to help save gas. We live in an average subdivision with our 4 kids. Don't try to live like a rock (or rap) star and even the 47% of non tax payers could have a good life.

Tasted like a fine restaurant. Rather than roasting the squash to a pulp, I cubed and roasted until lightly browned. When mixed in, it broke down just a little, offering a slight orange color. I also did not have radicchio so mixed in some chopped spinach at the end. I cannot wait to make it again.
Winter Squash Risotto with Radicchio

This was SO good! Definitely restaurant quality. I didn't have any hubbard squash so I used butternut squash instead. When I made this, the 2 cups of water and 1 can of broth wasn't enough, so I doubled the broth and it came out perfect. The bitterness of the ridicchio paired with the sweetness from the squash was just amazing.

Tristan Macdonald '12
In this video, Macdonald
talks about the support he received from professors and alumni.
Randolph-Macon College student Tristan Macdonald '12 says his most
memorable college experience was joining the
Kappa Alpha Order.
"College life is all about making the most of your time," says Macdonald, a
political science major and ethics
minor from Salem, Virginia. He considers his friendships with KA members and alumni
"KA has helped me make the most of my opportunities at R-MC," he says. "The KA alumni
have gone out of their way to help me. They helped me find internships, and they
introduced me to lots of people. That kind of networking is so important."
Learning by Doing
During January Term (J-term) 2011,
Macdonald interned with Hanover Circuit Judge J. Overton Harris.
"Judge Harris took time in between cases to sit down with me and explain why he
came to his conclusion," says Macdonald. "He also explained why the defense or state
attorney represented the information of a case in a particular way. The
internship was a great way to learn about the judicial system and procedures
of the court system."
Macdonald interned with Richmond Lobbyist Cal Whitehead '96 during
J-term 2012.
"I had worked with Mr. Whitehead in summer 2011, when the General Assembly was not
in session, and then he offered me the opportunity to serve as a J-term intern during
Session," says Macdonald. "There is a lot of activity during Session; it's all very
fast-paced. Mr. Whitehead made sure I got the full experience: I met his clients
and the legislators, and I sat in on the Committee and Floor Sessions. He has gone
out of his way to help me get connected with possible employers and has been kind
enough to put in a good reference for me whenever I have applied for jobs. To say
the least, my internship with Mr. Whitehead is the biggest reason I want to be a
Future Plans
Macdonald, who serves as co-chair of the Class of 2012's Senior Class Gift Committee,
would ultimately like to work for a lobbying firm.
"I was recently hired to work as the campaign manager for Kristen Larson, in the
Richmond School Board Race for District 4," he says. "This race is taking place
in the biggest district of Richmond and also has the most candidates running for
the open seat on the School Board. I'm really excited to have this opportunity."

Ashlee Simpson gets engaged with beau Evan Ross
Los Angeles, CA, United States (4E) – Ashlee Simpson and her actor boyfriend Evan Ross are engaged to get married, the singer-actress announced on Twitter on Monday.
The 29-year-old Simpson posted a photo of her and Evans and captioned it, "My baby love and I are ENGAGED!!! Hallelujah Hawaii !!!!!"
For his part, the 25-year-old son of Diana Ross, posted the same photo, taken while enjoying their vacation in Hawaii and captioned it, "The love of my life said YES!!!!!!"

Bacon and Eggs Appetizer
So, have you thrown your party to close out and celebrate the Spring Kitchn Cure yet? We are throwing an office party in New York this weekend and planning for a family graduation party later this summer, and we're studying up on interesting and delicious appetizers. Take a look at this clever little amuse bouche from Flickr member ilmungo...
They threw a celebratory dinner party for a graduating friend, and their second course consisted of this one-bite "bacon and eggs" spoonful: "Soft poached quail eggs served on a spoon for a single-bite serving, warmed in a brunoise cooked in beurre monté, and topped with crispy bacon bits."

Oh! I love this idea! I wonder if a poached chicken egg would be too big of a bite, though?
I love this idea! I was oooohing and ahhhing over it when I saw it the French Laundry cookbook. It's cool to see a "home kitchen" version of it.
Oh I make these, but with proscuitto instead of bacon.
What the heck does "warmed in a brunoise" mean? Brunoise is a way of chopping... it describes the size and shape of the final pieces (like saying julienne or chiffonade). Presumably they mean a brunoise of *something*.

Apparently this is my fault.
Me: WHAT?
Scott: Two days ago I ate those fajitas with meat, then yesterday I had salad with the leftover fajita meat on top, and now I've eaten just the leftover salad in a tortilla without the meat, and the salad is SO much better than the meat. YOU made me read the food books. YOU've been cooking me veggie meals. I don't even really care about what the books say. It just TASTES so much better not eating meat.
I've seen this coming for a month or so. My first clue was when he had a bbq lunch with a bunch of co-workers a while back. He said they all had huge piles of meat on their plates and looking at what they were eating made him feel queasy. Then, a couple weeks ago I brought him his formerly favorite sandwich -- smoked bbq brisket with coleslaw from Whole Foods. He finished it, but it was a HUGE chore and he did not feel well afterward.
Despite the clues, despite Scott begging me to make shrimp fajitas instead of flank steak, seared ahi instead of New York strips, salmon burgers instead of bison burgers...despite it all, I put down a deposit on a quarter grass-fed beef and a half hog. Both are from small local ranches, both are raised on pasture and both eat what they are supposed to eat instead of just corn and soybeans. Both will be humanely processed and ready for delivery in October, by which time I have a feeling Scott will be a confirmed vegetarian. So, what am I going to do with something like two hundred pounds of meat???
We're about a week away from our veggie month. For the month of August, our family (along with Scott's sister Liz and her husband, Michael) will be going totally veggie. No fish, no meat, no chicken. We will NOT be going vegan, so we will still be eating dairy (mostly raw and organic dairy) and eggs from pastured chickens. This veggie month should give Scott a pretty good idea of whether or not he's really turned into a vegetarian. I think it will be a little tough on the kids, so I may throw some fish in for them here and there. They love tuna salad and fish sticks and salmon. Scott also loves fish, so the veggie month will be a sacrifice for him in at least one way. Plus he won't get to eat Chipotle's carnitas (pork) burritos, which are his favorite. Although, he now says he can't handle eating one more than once every three weeks.
What's crazy about this is that Scott used to be your typical Midwestern meat and potatoes man. When we started dating nine years ago, he ate almost no vegetables...unless you count the sauerkraut he ate on his DAILY Johnsonville pork brats. Or the pickles he put on his pulled pork bbq sandwiches. Or the occasional tub of mayonnaise-saturated potato salad. (Note to Scott's mom...I know this is not your fault. I know he ate veggies straight from the garden when he lived at home, but bachelor life and his George Foreman Grill corrupted him.)
When we started dating I made dinner for him regularly. He ate normal food, not just processed food. And he ate salad. And broccoli. And corn. And he had lots of gas, at least for the first week. He seemed to adapt okay, though, and veggies became a normal part of his diet. But, he still needed meat. And lots of it. Until about three months ago.
We all change, right? I used to watch football religiously and followed the Niners in the off season. I used to watch SportsCenter every day, sometimes multiple times per day. Now I blog instead. And I try to keep my house semi-organized and some of my children's clothes clean. Scott used to drink Keystone. Now he drinks hefty, local brews. He used to try to keep his car clean. Now he tries to keep the toilets clean instead. He used to play football. Now he does pilates. We've changed, we've grown together. Some of the changes have been good, some have taken a little getting used to. This change, this shift to partial vegetarian...I think it's going to take some getting used to.

i think veggie month is going to gear him up for a big huge meat eating fest in October.ReplyDelete
if not, you know where you can send it...
we should probably start preparing for this veggie month... we are pretty much gonna wing it.
Okay, first of all, next summer you need to join a CSA. It makes you into a semi-vegetarian whether you wanted to be one or not.ReplyDelete
Second, you need to check out World Vegetarian by Madhur Jaffrey from the library. That will get you prepared in an instant.
By the way, Scott does not like the term "vegetarian." In fact when I told him today that he was "becoming a vegetarian" he literally freaked. I think he might have even thrown something at me. He prefers the term "Jeffersonian eater." Apparently Thomas Jefferson preferred to eat his meat as a side dish and veggies as the main course. He says that he learned this about Jefferson from Pollan in In Defense of Food. The thing is, though, Scott doesn't even like meat enough any more to enjoy it as a side dish. Unless it's sausage. He still has a soft spot for sausage, which bodes well for our half hog.
I'm all for your little veggie experiment -- it's great, very commendable! For the last several years or so, I've been essentially a 'Jeffersonian eater'. It's sort of the best of both worlds but most importantly I feel so much more healthy than ever before. And you don't have to miss out on some of the good ol' favorites like turkey at Thanksgiving! All this aside, I think the most surprising things in this entry is that 1) you aren't watching SportsCenter and 2) Scott's doing pilates?! My how the times have changed!!! :)ReplyDelete
Yeah, I could never give up the Thanksgiving turkey!ReplyDelete
I just don't have time in the morning to watch SportsCenter any more, which sort of grieves me, to tell you the truth. But what's sad is, even if I had a TV in the kitchen where I spend most of my mornings, I might end up turning on Good Morning America instead of SC. And I don't get to listen to Mike & Mike in the Morning on ESPN radio because I'm not in the car early enough nor long enough. Very sad changes.
Pilates is new for Scott. It's one part of the solution to his back problems (spasms around his L5, we've been told), which have been plaguing him for a few years.
i stopped watching sportscenter due to something a friend made me realize. They have just as much product placement as they do sports. Coor's Cold Hard Facts and their 6-pack of questions and their Budweiser hot seat. Once you start to recognize it, Sportscenter and ESPN for that matter is completely ruined for you. I'd rather read yahoo sports and go right to the important stuff.ReplyDelete
Are you ordering your meat from Ranch Foods Direct or elsewhere? I'd be curious to know. I've always been interested but have thought it would be too expensive for me.
You can count on me to help get rid of some of that unwanted meat...ReplyDelete

"My Body Feels So Much Better"
It is truly amazing how much the ED LegSim has changed my life. Before being introduced to Joe Schrader
[the inventor] and the
LegSim, I had your typical bulky walker that I would have to hop along on to get anywhere. I have degenerative joint disease and degenerative disc disease along with osteoarthritis. I have had multiple fusions in my back; have titanium plates and screws in my neck.
So to say that my spine and joints are a mess is an understatement. The hopping from using a regular walker was very hard on my body. Since using the
ED LegSim, there is no hopping or jumping, only smooth walking that makes my back and my one knee and leg very happy. It also makes my hands, elbows and wrists happy because I don't have to pick up, hold tightly and lift all my weight onto my poor arms and hands to use this.
Everything just moves so smoothly and easily. My body feels so much better.
Before I had the LegSim and was using the standard walker. I was very limited to what I could do because I always needed to keep both hands on the walker to steady myself. I couldn't do a lot with the standard walker because I couldn't get close to anything
since it was either too wide or I stood too far away from things
due to the tray on the front of it. Now since using the LegSim, I can do many things like stand at my kitchen sink
to wash dishes, stand when talking to people without tiring or having my leg go numb because I am able to sit on the seat and relax.
There is no stress in standing anymore.
I have actually gone to the mall with my
LegSim and I can get close to the clothes racks without knocking anything off
the rack! I'm able to stand and talk to my neighbors for long periods of time but one of my greatest joys is taking care of my grandson. I couldn't do this before without help.
So when our 5 month old grandson comes to spend the night. I'm able to get up and feed him and put him back to bed without anyone helping while using the
LegSim. It allows me to take steps and sit for a minute and then take another step. That was the greatest feeling, knowing I didn't have to wake my husband to put him back to bed when I was done feeding him. It doesn't get much better than
I can go up and down the stairs with the ED LegSim and you certainly can't do that with a standard walker. When it comes to the cost of the
device, in my opinion, there is no price too great for something that gives you your freedom. When you become an amputee, a large part of your freedom is taken from you and anything that gives that back is more than worth the price
and the LegSim certainly does that.
Just to be able to stand and have a conversation with someone without losing sensation
in your leg is worth the money. I would definitely purchase the
ED LegSim over other devices hands down. There's no comparison to anything else out there today. The
LegSim has made my life much easier and easier on my family. It has allowed me to be more independent.
I am able to use it with one hand while carrying something in the other, which allows me to do things like set the table, carry my grandson or groceries.
My family thinks this device is amazing as does everyone I have shown it to. Joe Schrader is an incredible man. There are not many people who would dedicate their time and money to helping amputees
especially not being one. He goes above and beyond and I know that I will be forever grateful for Joe and the
ED LegSim because it has made my life so much easier.

Some UEFI machines seem to boot from USB by default, without any

Most signed Linux boot loaders only verify the kernel (and,
indirectly, code that's loaded into the kernel), but not the
initrd contents.
Given that there is only one public signed Linux boot loader, saying
"most" is a bit odd here :)
(This isn't possible because initrds are system-specific and thus
cannot be signed in general. Recovery images signed by system
manufactures likely have similar issues.) As a result, the signed
loader might start something that wipes the hard disk or uploads its
contents somewhere
I'm wondering if this is a problem. I haven't investigated boot
order defaults for legacy systems, so I don't know if this
plug-and-wipe issue is a regression. In the end, this boils down to
what Secure Boot means, semantically.
UEFI Secure Boot really doesn't care about the kernel or the OS at all,
all it is there for is to protect the bootloader and the BIOS. The fact
that some operating systems take that chain-of-trust and extend it
beyond the BIOS is up to them, and the fact that some UEFI signing
authorities might impose more restrictions on the binaries that they
sign is also up to them, and not part of the UEFI specification or
Having a signed USB image boot properly if it is installed seems to be
the correct thing to me, but, in my testing, has not been the default on
the hardware that I have access to. It would be great to find out what
hardware you are seeing this on as I am helping to get Linux working
properly on UEFI machines these days.

NYPD Reportedly Targeting Photographers At Occupation Of Wall Street: Gothamist
Photograph by Jim Kiernan for Gothamist
Photographs and especially videos of the NYPD's actions during the occupation of Wall Street have sparked outrage and media attention regarding the protests, which have now spanned ten days. Accordingly, witnesses, including our own photographer, tell us that the NYPD has been specifically targeting photographers and videographers for arrest. Two protestors who were maintaining the live video feed of the protests were arrested on Saturday, the first claiming that she was detained solely because she was holding a camera. "Those are the first people the police go after," protest organizer Patrick Bruner tells us. "They're always the first to get held up."
While it is well within a protestor's right to film a demonstration or an arrest, NYCLU spokesperson Jennifer Carnig tells us, "You cannot interfere with police action, i.e. get in the middle of an arrest to take a photo or make a video." It may be a stretch to say that those operating the protest's live stream would be able to physically "interfere" with an arrest while holding a laptop.
Times' Up! photographer Barbara Ross tells us that as she was filming Saturday's march down Broadway to Union Square, a white-shirted NYPD officer repeatedly warned her that she would be arrested unless she started marching with the demonstrators. "I was standing off to the side so I could document what was going on—you couldn't really see much from within the group," Ross says, "And he kept saying, 'You either join them or I'll arrest you.' I wasn't blocking traffic or harming anything, it was obvious it was because I was holding a camera."
Jim Kiernan, who was shooting Saturday's protests for Gothamist, said that NYPD officers were "definitely" zeroing in on anyone with a camera. At around 12th Street and Fifth Avenue, Kiernan saw a large black SUV pull up next to a few police supervisors. "It was Ray Kelly. He rolled down his window and I had a perfect shot but I knew if I pointed my camera at him I'd get arrested on the spot." Moments later, "a videographer who I had seen all day, who didn't seem to be part of the protest was arrested. One officer took her camera, another cuffed her," Kiernan said. "A few seconds later, another photographer next to her gets arrested—no provocation whatsoever. That's when I decided I was done for the day."
"The NYPD has been known to aggressively videotape people," Carnig says. Indeed, a police officer can be seen filming in this arrest video, presumably protecting them from any accusations of mistreatment. "We encourage people to let us know if they've been harassed by the cops for taking a photo or making a video." We've yet to receive comment from the NYPD.
11 Things You Can Do to Help the 'Occupy Wall Street' Movement - #OccupyWallStreet #OurWallStreet #TakeWallStreetThe people protesting on Wall Street are fighting for the unemployed, the uninsured, and those totally insecure in the face of ever increasing financial inequities. September 20, 2011 | Advertisement
Editor's note: Today is the fifth day demonstrators have staged an "occupation" of Wall St. and other parts of lower Manhattan in protest of America's staggering economic inequality and the influence of big finance on our politics. As of Tuesday night, 16 people had been arrested. There are also reports that law enforcement has confiscated camera equipment. Below, writer Chaz Valenza describes 11 things you can do to help out the protesters.
These patriot occupiers are fighting for 99 percent of us. Those who are unemployed, uninsured, underemployed and totally insecure in the face of ever increasing social and financial inequities. They are standing up for those who cannot be there right now.
Here's the good news — you can help, right now today — no matter where you are.
1) Spread the word — there's something going on. People have started a movement — they're occupying Wall Street. Hundreds of people have been camped out in lower Manhattan for four days!
2) If you're in New York and can only spare a little time or money: bring American flags, cardboard, markers, water, etc. down to Liberty Park.
3) If you're in the New York area and have a day, a morning, an afternoon, go down there. The weather appears to be holding. Take the day off and just go. I know it sounds hard to believe but you will be heard. This is an open general assembly effort and you will get your say and be a real participant.
4) If you are a little ways from NYC, organize foursomes to go to NYC for the day. It will cost you the train/bus/car fare. Take nothing but some food and water and your body.
5) Too far to get to NYC? Sign this petition and I will read your name and comments in Liberty Park this week, I promise. Break Up Goldman Sachs Now!
6) Be subversive against the big money interests wherever you are and encourage others to do the same. Don't give the banksters 4 percent of every purchase you make with a credit or debit card — use cash. See: UseCashMovement
7) Be subversive: max out your credit card on large ticket items and return them the next day. (This one is right out of the Saul Alinsky playbook.)
8) Move your money from a big bank to a credit union.
9) Picket a local branch of a bank. When the press asks you what the heck you think you're doing, tell them it's in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street.
10) Send food to the protesters in Liberty Park through a New York friend or go to the live stream chat for information on local eats that will take your order. (Yes, you'll have to use your credit card, big spender!)
11) Do you know anybody who knows anybody who knows a writer, a celebrity, etc. who will show their face at the protest? Get to them now.
Bonus Support Idea 12) Spread the word again, and repeat!

NYPD May Employ Surveillance Drones - CCTVBLOG // #OccupyWallStreet - #TakeWallStreetA December 2010 email from the NYPD to the FAA indicating the department's early stages of investigating the use of drones.
Heads up, park cruisers. The police department may soon be operating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) "as a law enforcement tool" in New York City, giving that agency the capability to monitor activities in city parks, on streets, and in other public areas from the air.
In January, Gay City News made a Freedom of Information request to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) seeking "any application or applications made by the New York City Police Department or any other New York City agency to operate an unmanned aerial vehicle in the New York City area."
In its response, the FAA reported that it had not received any such applications, but it released a December 13, 2010 email to the FAA from a police department detective who wanted to know "who has 'Certificates of Authority' to fly Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in the U.S."
The detective's name was blacked out, but he was identified as part of the NYPD Counterterrorism Division in his email. He wrote, "Currently, we are in the basic stages of investigating the possible use of UAV's as a law enforcement tool.

SHEBOYGAN COUNTY, WI (WHBL) - You might have noticed some work being done on some of the existing railroad lines in Sheboygan County recently. That's because Union Pacific, which owns some of the lines in the county, is currently updating some of their 32,000 miles of track across the country.
In Southeast Wisconsin they plan to replace 26 miles of rail, fix surfaces at 62 road crossings, and replace seven switches. The cost of this work is $6.1 million, which is all covered by the railroad company. The goal of the work is to improve train operating efficiency, reduce motorist wait time at crossings, and enhance safety.

[video] Jim Cramer Quick Take: Bullish on General Electric's Stock for 2014
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- General Electric
(GE) reported fourth-quarter earnings per share that were in line with estimates and revenue that beat expectations. Nonetheless, shares are lower by 2.5% on Friday.
TheStreet's Jim Cramer, co-manager of the Action Alerts PLUS portfolio, said GE is making the transition from being a financial company to an industrial company.
He said the industrial numbers from the company were pretty good. He also said that this wasn't supposed to be a blowout quarter for GE, and it wasn't.
Cramer suggested that investors have been selling ib the "headlines," evident in stocks such as American Express (AXP), Alcoa (AA) and Intel (INTC).
He urged investors to use more than a 48-hour time frame when judging stocks. Cramer concluded that GE will be "up a lot by the end of the year."-- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich. Follow @BretKenwell
