Betula utilis var. jacquemontii
west himalayan birch multi-stem
- Position: full sun or lightly dappled shade
- Soil: moderately fertile, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: fast-growing
- Other features: smooth, bright white bark is very attractive in winter
- Hardiness: fully hardy
Sought after for their white bark, the colour of which develops fully when the tree is around 8 years old, and their dark green leaves that turn butter-yellow in autumn, this elegant tree will also produce yellowy brown catkins in spring. These trees have been cut back when young to create three separate stems. They are currently around 50-60cm tall and in time will grow to into a spectacular multi-stemmed tree that will create an elegant garden specimen.
- Garden care: Requires minimal pruning. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in late autumn or winter. When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting and stake well.

Q:Is this tree suitable for planting in a round 270 litre pot (70cm diameter at the top) to go on a sunny but sheltered terrace? To what height would it grow in a container - or could it be pruned back to keep it a reasonable height? And what compost/soil/drainage do you suggest? Many thanks CatherineAsked on 19/8/2014 by Forester34 from Forest Hill, London
1 answer
A:Hello there
Yes you could grow this tree in a large container such as you describe in a loam based compost such as John Innes no3, and being a multi-stemmed tree it can be pruned to restrict it's growth.
This particular trees is supplied in a 1.5lt pot and will be approx 30cm tall when supplied, so I would start it off in a smaller pot and then repot it as it grows.
Hope this helpsAnswered on 27/8/2014 by Anonymous from crocus
Q:Is this really a 1.5 litre potted tree or is that a mistake - should it be 15 litres? Please advise and confirm pot dimensions for hole preparation!Asked on 13/6/2014 by Pam from Surrey
1 answer
This is a young plant in a 1.5lt pot. I'mm afraid though that as the pot is measured in volume rather than diameter, it will vary, however preparing a planting hole around 30cm wide will be adequate.Answered on 19/6/2014 by helen from crocus
Q:Does this size of plant have white bark, and if not how long would it take to develop?Asked on 1/3/2014 by tom

A:Hello there
This Betula is approx 30cm tall in a 1.5lt pot. It won't have the white stems yet,- it can take about 7years before it has the white stems.Answered on 3/3/2014 by Anonymous from Crocus
Q:Hello, I wondered if a multi-stem birch grows to the same eventual height as a standard, ie. will this birch, as a multi- stem, really grow to 18m in height?Asked on 7/1/2014 by Lucky from London
1 answer
A:Hello there
Yes it can still eventually reach approx 18m give the right conditions, but there are a lot of external factors that can affect it's ultimate height.

AUBURN HILLS -- To whatever degree Maurice Cheeks seriously considered changes to the Detroit Pistons' starting lineup, he apparently isn't anymore.
"Not at this time," the head coach said Friday when asked if he still is considering a change.
The Pistons have gone almost exclusively with a starting lineup of Brandon Jennings, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Josh Smith, Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond since mid-November.
Cheeks said recently that he had not decided on any possible lineup change but if he made one, it would be after the Pistons' current five-day break, which included two days off before returning to practice Thursday.
The Pistons (14-19), losers in five of their last six games, host the Memphis Grizzlies at 1 p.m. Sunday.

Disagreeing in love
A congregation discusses same-sex marriage
I knew I had to talk to him. My letter was already printed in the newsletter that would arrive in mailboxes later that week, and it was all set to go up on the church website. There was no going back from it now: I was taking a stand against North Carolina's proposed amendment to ban same-sex marriage and civil unions. I knew I needed to tell this longtime elder of our congregation about the stance I was taking, and I knew he wasn't going to like it.
I went to see him. I did this mostly out of respect for him. I like him, and I'm pretty sure he likes me. I know he respects my leadership, and I'm grateful for his many years of service to the church. I didn't want him to be blindsided; I thought maybe paying a call would soften the blow. And maybe I was also testing the waters—to see if we truly could disagree and still like each other.

This is an updated version of a story posted at 2:52 this afternoon.
WORCESTER – The rear of a burning apartment building collapsed Thursday in Worcester, burying a firefighter in debris, killing him and reviving memories of a fire that killed six firemen 12 years ago.
Jon Davies, a 17-year department veteran and father of three, was found on the first floor of the triple-decker apartment and pronounced dead at a hospital. His partner, Brian Carroll, slid into the basement but was freed after about an hour and is expected to recover.
Davies' death comes days after the anniversary of the Worcester Cold Storage building fire that killed six firefighters on Dec. 3, 1999.
Lifelong Worcester resident Tom Tynan, a school bus driver, said the warehouse fire was the first thing he thought of after he learned Davies, 43, had died.
"As soon as I found out that somebody was dead, you're thinking, 'Oh, God again,'" said Tynan, 58. "I mean, I know it wasn't six, but one's too many."
"There must be a lot of heavy hearts in the city now," Tynan added. "It might be 12 years, but it's not long enough. It's like it happened yesterday."
Davies was one of the first fire fighters on the scene of the 1999 blaze, said Deputy Fire Chief Geoffrey Gardell. He worked at a firehouse dedicated on the former warehouse site, less than a mile from Thursday's fire high in the Vernon Hill section of the central Massachusetts city.
Gardell said it's inevitable Davies' death will bring the 1999 tragedy to mind. But he said, "We're not any different from anybody else across the country," and noted close to 100 U.S. firefighters die on duty each year.
In a statement at an afternoon news conference, the Davies family expressed its "heartfelt gratitude" to city and fire union officials, as well as "all the firefighters that worked so very hard to rescue their loved one."
The fire early Thursday was reported around 4:20 a.m. at an apartment that housed about a dozen people, said Fire Chief Gerard Dio. Davies and Carroll were searching for a resident firefighters feared might be inside when the rear of building collapsed on them.
Fire crews were in contact with Carroll during rescue efforts, but not with Davies, who was pronounced dead after being taken by ambulance to UMass Memorial Medical Center.
On Thursday afternoon, fire crews were still looking for the missing resident. Dio said it was too early to determine the cause of the fire or whether it was suspicious, though he noted that the blaze spread quickly.
"The fire took off pretty good. It was in the back of the structure and we don't know if there were any accelerants involved yet," Dio said.
Davies has three sons, two in the military, including one deployed in Afghanistan. He also leaves a mother, sister and fiancée.
Dio declined to speak in depth about Davies at a morning news conference.
"I'm too emotional at this point. I would rather keep my composure," he said.
In the 1999 blaze, the six firefighters died after becoming trapped inside the warehouse. Investigators said the blaze was started when two homeless people knocked over a candle and left the building. The firefighters went in to make sure no one was inside.
President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore were among thousands who attended a memorial service days later at a Worcester arena, while firefighters were still working to recover the remains of their colleagues from the ruins of the building.
Now faced again with having to bury another colleague, a weary-looking Gardell said there wasn't much to do but try to move on.
"Just move on," he said. "Do our job and move on."

In response to the near tripling of water and sewerage rates in Winslow Township, a community leader said that a "political laxative" was needed to get new leadership. I'm guessing that the idea was to "flush" the current leadership out of office. I'll have to go on record as saying that taking a laxative before you clean house, though, is probably a bad idea.
The question remaining, though, is, "How did things get to this point?" The short answer is that water and sewerage rates in the Township have been run at a deficit for some time now. Instead of trying to make their "goes-intas" equal their "goes-outas", the Mayor and Committee determined to use surplus hook-up fees to keep the costs to home-owners artificially low. Now the surplus is drained and the full cost of supplying water and sewerage is being felt. This is easily understood by all of the residents of Winslow, but what they don't understand is why the surplus funds had to be exhausted before action was taken. Or, as one resident put it, "Why did you wait until 2007? You don't wait until you are in the hole."
The "why" is simple - it's politics. After thirty years of being told by conservatives that taxation is little better than theft, politicians are just afraid to run for office by saying, "I'll take care of our problems - but it'll cost ya." Instead, time after time, politicians at all levels repeat George H.W. Bush's pledge of "no new taxes". And the problem is not (always or only) that new programs eat up tons of money - government entities face the same inflationary pressures the rest of us do. The cost of supplying the exact same level of services goes up year after year after year. This is true even if nothing catastrophic happens.
We are seeing this same issue play out at both the state and federal levels. After years of skyrocketing costs, Governor Jon Corzine has begun to enforce the most basic of math on the budgetary process. His business sense is correct in seeing that perpetual deficits are unsustainable. George Bush may begin to do this in DC, but for a very different reason - he is just hoping to make it politically difficult for his Congressional Democratic opponents.
The basic truth of taxation, which even Ronald Reagan had to bow, is that revenues must always increase because costs will increase. This does not mean that taxation has no consequences or that all spending is, by any means, necessary. But it does mean that taxation isn't the great evil it is often made out to be. It is a civilized alternative to a government powerful enough to simply demand its needs be met. Taxation is the means by which the will of the people works through the government. It is a vital link in the social contract that binds a people to their government, and vice versa.
It should never be forgotten that, in the words of Chief Justice John Marshall, "the power to tax is the power to destroy". Our leaders should always be mindful that taxes are paid by people - and many people live on the verge of financial destruction already. But they must also remember that failure to tax adequately is just as destructive.

I've encountered an error message after installing iTunes 10.5 on my netbook stating that "Service Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have specific privileges to start system services".
I though there might something wrong in the installation process so I uninstalled iTunes and all Apple programs and restarted the netbook. After which I installed it again but I still get the same error. I have no idea why this is happening. Can someone help me with this?
# Comment Id: 57584
You may try the following:
1. Manually start the Apple Mobile Device service. If you haven't done this yet, here's how:
a. Search for services.msc on your computer and run it.
b. Under the Name column, look for Apple Mobile Device.
c. Once found, right-click it and click Start.
d. After manually starting the service, you may try reopening iTunes.
2. If you are have anti-virus software installed, and then it could be blocking iTunes from running its services. Check if your anti-virus software has a built-in firewall, check the firewall rules and see if the iTunes or Apple Mobile Device service is allowed.
If you're not sure on how to do this, just tell me which anti-virus software you are using so I can further research about your issue.

The NCAA teamed together with the Make-A-Wish foundation to form a partnership in 2003, as Make-A-Wish has now been Division II's national charity for nearly a decade. Grand Valley State was recently named one of Division II's top donating schools, finishing in the top-five institutions for the 2011-12 academic year.
In an article recently released by NCAA.org, Grand Valley State donated $10,001 in 2011-12, putting GVSU as the fourth-highest performing school in all of Division II. Nearly all of that money was raised, in some form, by the Laker student-athletes through the GVSU Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC).
"We are very proud of how hard our student-athletes worked to raise money for the Make-A-Wish foundation," said Alicia Adell, the Assistant Director of Athletic Advising. "It is so vital for them to understand the importance of giving back and helping others. It definitely feels good to know that we are helping bring joy to the lives of the children that Make-A-Wish serves."
Since the merging of the NCAA and Make-A-Wish in 2003, Division II has raised more than $2.4 million. North Georgia College & State raised the most money in Division II last year, donating $12,000. Grand Canyon ($11,272), Shippensburg ($10,593), GVSU, and Saint Leo ($10,000) were listed as the top-five schools in terms of dollars raised.
Grand Valley State and the student-athletes raised money over the past year through various outlets, including: car washes by the cross country and track & field teams, the SAAC talent show, t-shirt sales by the softball team, and raffles featuring GVSU apparel and memorabilia. The SAAC also raised well over $3,000 during 'Battle of the Valleys', a contest centered around the yearly football game between Grand Valley State and Saginaw Valley State.

Just after TripAdvisor and Southern Living magazine gave high rankings to New Orleans attractions and hotels, the Priceline.com travel website is calling the French Quarter the top destination for July 4th travelers, based on more than 30,000 hotel room booking requests processed through the site.
North Michigan Avenue in Chicago came in second. Midtown West in New York City was third, after topping the list last year. In all, Priceline rated 50 destinations.
"The 2013 list is based off of credit card-backed booking requests on Priceline.com, revealing actual consumer travel intent for the upcoming holiday," said an announcement from the site.
Other spots in the top 10 include Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, Waikiki Beach in Honolulu and the Strip in Las Vegas.
In New Orleans, the July 4th holiday coincides with the Essence Music Festival, one of the largest annual productions in the city, which counts more than 400,000 visits to its combined events, although that likely amounts to a smaller number of individuals because many people attend multiple events.

WASHINGTON -- A year ago, oil company executives were hauled before Congress to answer for what were alleged to be lax industry practices that set the stage for the BP oil disaster.
On Thursday, they were once again facing the music on Capitol Hill, this time to explain why they make so much money, and whether with gas prices sky-high, they really need billions in government tax breaks to drill and explore for oil.
"You make a lot of money, that's fine, that's the American way, but it seems maybe the subsidies are just not that necessary anymore," said Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Montana, quoting former President George W. Bush as saying back in 2005, "with $55 oil, we don't need incentives to oil and gas companies to explore. There are plenty of incentives."
Senate Democrats have scheduled a vote next Wednesday on a proposal to remove $21 billion in tax incentives and deductions over the next 10 years, though, with the opposition of Republicans, along with Democratic Sens. Mary Landrieu, D-La., and Mark Begich, D-Alaska, its prospects are dim. Nonetheless, congressional Democrats have made oil company profits, and efforts to strip the Big Five of their tax breaks, a centerpiece of their political strategy in the face of high oil prices, even as Republicans have focused on increasing the pace and scope of drilling and exploration.
At Thursday's hearing, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., replayed a tape of his questioning the oil brass five years, and their agreeing with former President George W. Bush's assessment that incentives were superfluous at $55-a-barrel, and wondering why that wouldn't be even more the case with oil now over $100 a barrel.
But the oil company executives said that raising their taxes would do nothing to lower gas prices and would be a disincentive to future investment that is key to future U.S. production and jobs.
Rex Tillerson, chairman and CEO of Exxon Mobil Corp., which had $10.7 billion in profits the first quarter of the year, said that, "sustaining the viability of the enterprise for many years to come we have to make very big investments." He described efforts to deny the industry its tax incentives and deductions as "misinformed and discriminatory."
"By undermining U.S. competitiveness, they would discourage future investment in energy projects in the United States and therefore undercut job creation and economic growth," said Tillerson. "And because they would hinder investment in new energy supplies, they do nothing to help reduce prices."
"Arbitrarily punishing five U.S. oil and gas companies by raising their taxes will generate far less government revenues than if we were allowed to compete and produce our nation's resources," said Tillerson.
"Don't punish our industry for doing our job well," said John Watson, chairman and chief executive officer of Chevron Corporation, which made $6.2 billion in profits the first quarter of the year.
Watson said that the oil and gas industry already pays its fair share in taxes, that "long-standing oil and gas provisions in the tax code parallel tax treatment of other industries or are designed to prevent double taxation," and that "singling out five companies because of their size" is "anti-competitive and discriminatory."
Marvin Odum, president of Shell Oil Co., which had $8.8 billion in profits the first quarter, said that while Big Oil's profits were huge, so are their investments.
Referring to the moratorium on deepwater drilling after the BP spill, Odum said that "last year in the Gulf of Mexico, government policies caused Shell to defer some $700 million in capital expenditures and take more than $180 million in special charges. We expect to lose an estimated 50,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2011 alone. Thinking about the impact-to-date, that represents lost gasoline production - just to Shell - that could have powered, on average, 633,000 cars and light trucks every day since January 1."
James Mulva, chairman and chief executive office of ConocoPhillips, which made $3 billion in profits the first quarter, brought a chart showing that "U.S. energy companies are already heavily taxed."
"Of the top 20 Fortune 500 non-financial companies, ranked by market capitalization, the three U.S.-based oil and gas companies (ConocoPhillips, Chevron and Exxon Mobil) represented here today are the top taxpayers on the list," said Mulva.
Lamar McKay, chairman and president of BP America Inc., which reported $7.1 billion in the first quarter, said, "I don't believe raising taxes will lower prices."
"Raising taxes will lead to less production, less investment, and likely higher costs per gallon and less employment," said Mulva.
In his questioning, Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-West Virginia, told the executives that, with Washington facing dreadful and painful choices in what to cut, "I think you're deeply profoundly out of touch and deeply and profoundly committed to sharing nothing, because if you share something, you're on the slippery slope, if you give up something you are on the slippery slope."
"How much profits do you need to make on a barrel of oil to not be needful of these subsidies that we think you don't need and you think your life depends on?" asked Rockefeller
"I don't think the American people want shared sacrifice, I think they want shared prosperity," replied Watson.
"Do you understand how out of touch that statement is?" Rockefeller responded. "Before we have shared prosperity we have to have shared sacrifice."
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., pressed Mulva whether, in the context of Congress having to make difficult choices about what to cut to deal with the budget deficit, "do you think your subsidy is more important than financial aid we give to students to go to college?"
"They are two totally different situations," said Mulva. "That's a choice legislatively that you are going to have to make."
Mulva was also sharply challenged by both Schumer and Robert Menendez, D-NJ, for a press release Wednesday from ConocoPhillips that described the tax proposals being considered by Senate Democrats as "un-American."
"That's beyond the pale," Menendez told Mulva. "I was hoping you were going to come here to apologize for this."
The hearing got off to a somewhat acrimonious start with Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, the ranking Republican on the panel, disparaging the hearing in his opening statement as a dog and pony show, and unveiled a picture of a dog riding a pony as a visual aide.
"Who is the horse and who is the dog?" asked Baucus.
"I know who the horse's ass is," said Hatch, adding a moment later, "I shouldn't have said that."
Schumer said that American consumers, struggling with high gas prices, would not think it was a dog and pony show, and that it would be easier to imagine a "unicorn" appearing at the hearing, than that oil companies truly need these federal tax breaks.

Editorial not impartial
October 15, 2013
I love it when you start an editorial with a joke. Your "Our View" in Saturday's paper claims an impartial viewpoint on political matters than goes on to excoriate Republicans for the shutdown, repeating every argument almost word for word made by Democrats.
We voted for republican congressmen who opposed the ACA like Congressman LaMalfa. He is doing his job by opposing a program that the majority of us don't want. You also reference reports in the Sacramento Bee and the Los Angeles Times, two left-biased publications, trashing LaMalfa. Harry Reid and Obama can stop the shutdown anytime they want, but as long as newspapers like yours are cheerleaders, it won't happen.

Cutting a jagged gash across the Mendip Hills, the limestone gorge is an amazing geological phenomenon, though its natural beauty is rather compromised by the minor road running through it and by the Lower Gorge's mile of shops and parking areas. Few trippers venture further than the first few curves of the gorge, which holds its most dramatic scenery, though each turn of the two-mile length presents new, sometimes startling vistas.
At its narrowest the road squeezes between cliffs towering almost 500ft above. Those in a state of honed fitness can climb the 274 steps of Jacob's Ladder to a cliff-top viewpoint looking towards Glastonbury Tor, with occasional glimpses of Exmoor and the sea (daily: 10am–5.30pm; winter 10.30am–4.30pm; £4.80, free to Cheddar Caves ticket-holders) – or you can reach the same spot more easily via the narrow lane winding up behind the cliffs. There's a circular three-mile cliff-top Gorge Walk, and you can branch off along marked paths to such secluded spots as Black Rock, just two miles from Cheddar, or Black Down, at 1067ft the Mendips' highest point.
Cheddar Caves
Beneath the towering Cheddar Gorge, the Cheddar Caves were scooped out by underground rivers in the wake of the Ice Age, and subsequently occupied by primitive communities. Today the caves are floodlit to pick out the subtle tones of the rock, and the array of rock formations that resemble organ pipes, waterfalls and giant birds. Tickets include a trip through the Gorge on an open-top bus.

VOORHEES — Claude Giroux doesn't mind a day off, or even two every once in a while.
Anything longer than 48 hours without a game during the season is too long, though. It takes him out of his daily routine and rhythm.
So imagine what Giroux and the rest of his Philadelphia Flyers teammates have been going through for the last two-plus weeks while the NHL has been on hiatus during the Winter Olympics. The Flyers haven't played a game since beating the Calgary Flames, 2-1, on Feb. 8.
"I think guys are anxious to start playing again. It's been a long break," the team captain said on Tuesday following a day of off-ice workouts. "Usually after a two-day break we've had enough. Right now it's kind of killing us."
The players, except for the ones that went to Sochi for the Winter Olympics, were given a good 10 days off when the break hit. Some went home, some went on vacation and others stuck around town.
Practice resumed last week for the non-Olympians and has continued through this week before the team finally hits the ice again on Thursday at the Wells Fargo Center against the San Jose Sharks.
With the onset of practice, Flyers coach Craig Berube concentrated on conditioning and getting the players back on the same page with intense and challenging sessions. As the season has inched closer to restarting, he has added more technical aspects.
With most of the rust shed and the Sharks on the horizon, Berube has noticed a sense of urgency as the compacted schedule is about to start again.
"Yeah a little bit. Overall, I have liked the practices," Berube said. "The intensity has been good and so has the skating. Obvious we are getting close so we are doing more system stuff, more power play — so they know it's getting close, too."
If the team doesn't have a sense of urgency yet, it will shortly.
The Flyers play their final 23 games of the season over the next 46 days. It kicks off with three games in four days against some tough teams.
Following Thursday's game against the Sharks, who have 80 points and sit in second place in the Pacific Division, the Flyers host the Rangers, who are one point ahead of them in second place in the Atlantic Division, on Saturday and then travel to D.C. on Sunday.
It might just be what the team needs to jolt them back into the swing of things.
"It is a good thing if we win them all," Scott Hartnell joked. "Thursday will be a feeling out game for everyone as they get back. I think the team that keeps it simple, works hard and competes probably has the best chance of winning.
"It's kind of like Game 1 and 2 (of the season). I think we believe in here and have had some great practices and are really focused."
The Flyers hope to pick up right where they left off before the Olympics hit. Winners of four straight, they were playing their best hockey of the season. Defensively they were sharp, goaltending was top-notch and the offense provided timely goals.
The stretch began on their three-game road trip to California. After a hard-fought loss to the Ducks, who have the most points in the league, the Flyers responded with wins over the Kings and Sharks and hit the break by beating the Avalanche and Flames at home.
Before the road trip, the Flyers had lost five of seven games.
"I think on the road trip we did a good job without the puck," Berube said. "We were pressuring, we had support everywhere. To me that is the key. If we are working and competing, it will give us a chance to win the game."

Up north, Washington state is still busily counting ballots. The Associated Press leads its story on the matter with a rather succinct "If there was any doubt, Election 2012 has confirmed it: Washington is the slowest vote-counting state in the country."
Washington, like Oregon, does its voting by mail -- but unlike Oregon, voters there can still mail their ballots in on Election Day. While most states have about 99 percent of their votes tallied, Washington is trailing at 75 percent. That means their exceedingly close gubernatorial race is still undecided. However, enough votes have been counted that opponents legalizing gay marriage have conceded defeat.
In other conceded races, though counting still goes on in Florida, Republicans have said it looks like President Obama will keep his narrow lead in that state, claiming its 29 electoral votes.
A little closer to home, Jeff Mapes, our senior political reporter, was on Oregon Public Broadcasting this morning to discuss what Gov. John Kitzhaber might have planned now that he has a majority in both legislative chambers -- for the first time in his 10 years as governor. He also talks marijuana legalization and gay marriage.
The election has emboldened Clark County Republicans, who say that voters' rejection of light-rail funding for the Columbia River Crossing means the bridge should be completely redesigned. Bridge supporters are calling that a ploy to kill the bridge.
Looking forward, talks over how to solve the stalemate over the looming fiscal cliff have already commenced. Predictably, both sides are claiming a mandate.
However, as contentious as that topic seems to be, immigration has revealed itself as a new area of common ground. Speaker of the House John Boehner says he's 'confident' immigration reform could be tackled in the next year or so. No doubt, the quick reversal comes at least in part because election results showed Latinos voting overwhelmingly for Democrats this year.
A couple other leftovers:
-- Celebrated statistician Nate Silver takes a look at whether the Electoral College might be predisposed to favor Democratic presidential candidates in its current configuration.
-- The New York Times looks at Mitt Romney's future prospects. It looks like he can have just about any job he'd like -- except one.
Finally, because it wouldn't be a Friday without some late breaking news, The New York Times is reporting that CIA Director David Petraeus is resigning, citing an extramarital affair. This comes, of course, as a huge shock, especially considering his name had been floated as a possible candidate for secretary of defense once Leon Panetta resigns.

George Selvie Is Making A Name For Himself In Dallas
Jay Ratliff, Anthony Spencer and DeMarcus Ware have been the forces behind the Dallas defensive line for the last few years. But last Sunday and, most likely, once again this Sunday, none of the three will be lining up on the defensive line.
Ratliff has been released, and issues are now surrounding that whole situation questioning his motives. Spencer is out for the season due to a knee injury, and Ware is battling a quad injury that could have him sidelined for a few weeks. The three have combined for 12 Pro Bowl appearances and totaled 174.5 sacks throughout their careers in Dallas. Needless to say, they have been wreaking havoc on opposing quarterbacks for years. But this season, the Cowboys defense can't rely on these three. One has left town, one is done for the season, and the third is battling injury and will be battling double teams all season long.
The defensive unit has tallied 20 sacks this season — just four of those being Ware's. So the somewhat "no-name" defense has 16 of those sacks, and as a unit, they are ranked tied for seventh in the league in sacks. They are also tied for 11th in forced fumbles.
A big part of their success has been the emergence of George Selvie. Selvie has stepped in very nicely on the defensive line filling in for the missing Spencer and, for now, Ware. Selvie has five sacks to his name as well as three tackles for loss and a fumble recovery. They aren't asking him to be Spencer or Ware; he was just asked to fill in. He's come to work week after week and filled his role nicely in the Cowboys' defense.
Selvie is just 26 years old, and has plenty of room to grow. He has already broken out this season with five sacks, previously having just three since being drafted in 2010. So Selvie has emerged at just the perfect time for Dallas, as they have searched to fill their need for pass-rushers very quickly. Big D can only hope that in the future he develops into a Ware or Spencer, but right now, that's not what they need. They just need Selvie to continue posing a threat.
Last week in Philly, he picked up two sacks. He'll have his hands full this Sunday as Detroit has only allowed nine sacks this season, but with the secondary improving and Sean Lee leading the linebacking corps, Dallas will just be looking for its defensive line to create pressure on Matthew Stafford. If they make him move around and force him to make tough throws, it will prevent him from locking in with Calvin Johnson and possibly force some turnovers.
So Selvie may not be making the highlight plays that Ware and Spencer have been known to make, but he's improving, and expect to see more and more of him in the backfield as the season progresses.

and what the game is about, and what each level is about. Now I need to know where to go from here.
That depends on where it is you realistically think you will wind up. I used to write down dreams, too. And I write down game ideas. But you think we already know what it is you plan to do with your game idea. We don't. What is it you want to do with your game idea? That will inform your question, "where to go from here."

Also, just some advice about game ideas in general. Try to keep them simple. It is easy to underestimate how much work a game takes. There may be some idea you are set on but if you hold onto it when you should let it go it could end up killing the entire project because it never gets done. Having dreams about games is pretty cool, but I wouldn't put any more weight in ideas you have in a dream than you would have awake. There are lots of people who have game ideas. Odds are you aren't the first person who had ideas like yours. It is not because you aren't creative. You aren't stealing these ideas. To you, it is an orignal idea. The world is just a big place with a lot of creative people in it. You may find that some of the ideas already have been done in a game. You may find that the idea is really cool, it just takes way too much work or just isn't plausible.
Making a game takes lots of time, it takes lots of work. If you are new to this you will probably be spending a lot of time learning before you can actually make your ideas a reality. Don't let all of that discourage you though. Just enjoy the journey. If you enjoy making games then seeing the final product isn't the only thing that fuels you.
If you really don't want to learn how to make games and just want your game to become a reality then your best bet earn a lot of money and save it away. Then when you have a substantial budget you can hire some people to make the game for you. You will have a hard time finding somebody who would be willing to make your game for free.

As HappyCoder mentioned, GameMaker might be a good choice, since your a beginner. But I personally don't like using someone else's software to make a game, I don't like how I'm limited to what they give to me. If you are also like this, then I advice you to start with a simple programming language, something like Vb.Net.
Vb.Net is a simple, programming language made for ease and speed(Not how fast your application is, but how fast you can make it). It might not be the best programming language out there, but you can do a lot with it. Now, don't expect to make the next world of warcraft over night! I used Vb.Net for 2 years before moving on to C#, even though they're quite similar.
You might want a place to start. Youtube and Google are your friends. You can search Vb.Net tutorials for simple stuff such as Picture Viewer, Text Editor, Progress Bar, Messageboxes.. Or search for a series of tutorials that go in order.
First of all, you need to install Visual Studio, or Visual Basic .Net Express 2010. Don't let the 2010 make you think its old and useless, I use Visual C# Express 2010, and it works just great! It's only about 120mb if I remember correctly.
Here is a tutorial: www.youtu.be/hkcO_M9gcNw
Before you can even start making your game, it can take lots of work to get used to the language, so that you would no longer need to use tutorials to do what you need. But of course, you can always ask questions on forums, as we all do, but, always do research before you ask.
As I mentioned before, Vb.Net is a programming language made for ease and speed, so it may not be the best language for making games. That's why I moved onto C#(and C++ currently), after using Vb.Net a lot. I tried to make games with Vb.Net, but nothing was very.. efficient.. I tried to make the game with pictureboxes, with gdi+, with timers that update slowly(i had little control over this)... But this wasn't a bad thing, I learned a lot. Anyways enough about me.
Basically, If you want full control of how your game will be, you will either hire a team, or learn programming. Otherwise, you can use engines such as GameMaker.
Good luck with your game idea, I hope you can make it. But remember, don't get uninspired if you can't make what you want quickly, just keep trying. Have fun!

Are Rudy Giuliani's Gay Friends Crazy for Standing By Him?
A "last minute" no-show at the 10-guest wedding of Howard Koeppel and Mark Hsiao in Connecticut over the weekend, Rudy Giuliani probably didn't surprise many with his empty chair. Though he believes in civil unions, the New York gubernatorial hopeful says he's TOTALLY AGAINST GAY MARRIAGE, and planned on making it a big issue when he faces off with Gov. David Paterson in 2010. Except all of a sudden he recognized the tides were turning, and perhaps even Republicans were turning off voters with all this gay marriage repudiation nonsense, and he decided to sort of let the issue go. But not enough to support his two gay BFFs, who he stayed with in 2001 while divorcing Donna Hanover. Not that they're sweating it:
"I understand why he's doing what he's doing. If he decides to run for governor . . . he's a Republican, and he's taking a Republican stand [against gay marriage," said Koeppel at his nuptials, adding, "I danced at his wedding with [his wife] Judith [Nathan], and it would have been nice if he'd danced at mine."
It's quite a sacrifice to make. For both parties.
Giuliani believes he needs upsate conservative voters (which he does) to win the Governor's Mansion on a Republican ticket, which means he has to hide his New York City liberal lifestyle, where he's free to have playdates with gays. And Keoppel and Hsiao want to keep Giuliani as their friend (because maybe he is a nice guy?), despite his using their civil rights as a way to drum up votes.
Lest you ever find yourself in a position where one of your best friends happens to be a high-profile politician, which way would you swing? Would you set aside your own civil rights struggle to maintain your friendship (and even defend your homo-hating friends in the press)? Or would you be unwilling to make that compromise for any friend (and keep your inner circle comprised only of folks who don't discriminate)?
The Falwells, the Warrens, the Bushies, the inbred Phelps brood, Focus on the Pseudo Family, Maggie "Stinks" Gallager, the Mormons, the Catholics, Miss Not Miss California … their "liberal" enablers like Obama and Pelosi and the Methodists and some Episcopalians…none of these people are the reason we are still second class citizens…why some of us are still physically attacked, others murderered, and some 11-yr. olds would literally rather die than be called fag….
It is gays like this.
A plague on their house!May 4, 2009 at 11:33 am · @Reply ·
Giuliani's a bastard. When he had to get his cheatin' ass out of the house, these guys were there for him. Now that it's not politically convenient, he turns his back on them. What a prick.
I hope that this story reveals him to straight folk as the two-faced lying bastard that he is.
What kind of friend would put Mr. Koeppel in this position?
Giuliani called Koeppel and Hsiao called them friends. Rudy's support of them at this most intimate time would be nice.
If you throw your friends under the bus at an intimate time like this, this is not a friend. And for Koeppel and Hsiao to accept this type of utter and complete disrespect…I don't think a whole lot of them either.
Still, congrats on your nuptuials, guys!
And this is the same man who divorced his first wife, had two affairs while getting rid of the first and married the second of the affairs. This man claims he's a catholic but since divorce in the RC cult is forbidden, I fail to see if he ever actually filed for an annulment of the first. And this is the same man who professes to believe in the sanctity of marriage amidst all the philandering while denying us the same rights? Please….if this is not hypocrisy, I don't know what is. Notice how silent the RC cult remained after his first divorce?
While we're on the subject of the RC cult, check this out for light relief…
hell no. I want tolerate any one opposing my cvil rights in my personal group of friends.Once I am equal then I can tolerate them..but until then I will remain oppressed and pissed off.
Actually, his first wife was his cousin. He had two affairs while getting rid of the second, la Hanover, before marrying wacky Judy. And even if he were a paragon of fidelity, he still is, was and always will be a despicable toad.
And even if he were a paragon of fidelity, he still is, was and always will be a despicable toad.
Vice President Biden killed him with the "verb, noun and 9/11" quip. I think he's toast, unless the New York Republicans are extremely forgiving.
One of my husband's friends from high school, her then-fiancee didn't attend our wedding. We weren't close or anything so I didn't care, but I'm pretty sure it's because he's leaving the door open to someday run for office on the Republican ticket and doesn't want it to come out that he attended a gay wedding, regardless of his personal stance on the issue (which I am pretty sure is tepidly anti-gay marriage). Never was a fan of him, and glad to save the $ on the extra plate.
Hell no! If he's a friend, he supports my rights. If he is willing to throw me under the bus for political gain, he is not friend, and I would never refer to him as such again.
Plus — he had his sec'y call them!!…two days before!! He didn't even have the balls to call them himself.
I can only assume that Koeppel and/or Hsiao are deriving, or perceive themselves to be deriving, some sort of social or financial advantages (maybe Rudy's name is useful for dropping in business negotiations) on the basis of their friendship with Giuliani. Or they could actually consider him a friend, which would mean they come from the highly moneyed caste of people who only associate with other obscenely wealthy types, because they have absolutely no concept of what it would mean to be or have a friend who valued them for anything other than their wealth or their usefulness. And since their gay marriage currently makes them counterproductive to Giuliani's political ambitions, it would not be unforgiveable of him to snub their wedding, but rather perfectly understandable.
The bubble in which these people live could even seem pitiful, because they are so impoverished in qualities like human decency or compassion, but I wouldn't advise pitying them too much.
it's not that simple & you know it.
most of you right-on-every-issue-except marriage equality types would sell out your own grandma if it meant you could pay less taxes.
quit being fake; it's not going to work!
Maybe we as a group should start by calling Giuliani on his own hypocrisy relevant to his divorces, philandering and marriages with regard to his opposition to same-sex marriage. Seems to debunk that entire sanctity of marriage mantra doesn't it? The procreation mantra is also lost. If they want to use that as the primary reason for marriage, then they'll have to ban straight childless marriages or straights who choose no to breed or can't. Notice how the religious right remains silent about that?
I believe it was NY1's Andrew Kirtzman who nailed him: "A small man in search of a balcony."
Oops. If Kirtzman said that, he was quoting Jimmy Breslin. Regardless: "A small man in search of a balcony."
Bobito, I totally concur with your views. I suspect the two he stayed with are Log Cabiners, many of whom don't give a damn about equality as long as they have their wealth, deluxe health insurance policies, a second or third home, two or three cars and unlimited resources at their disposal. In spite of the downturn in the economy, the revamping of health care, national security, if those weren't high priorities, you can safely assume that Log Cabiners still would not consider equality that important. Since their party doesn't believe in full equality for LGBT people and has no place for them, why would any self-respecting gay person want to support a part that clearly doesn't want them, Giuliani included? These people are our enemies too, don't lose sight of that. They continuously vote for their party even when it includes a ban on marriage equality in thirty states. That alone proves they don't care as long as their status quo remains intact.

Margaret Kastler gained one job and lost another today.
Kastler, the Republican candidate for Oswego County Legislature in District 1, was sworn in to complete the term of Legislator Jerry Thomas, R-Sandy Creek, who resigned in April for health reasons.
She will run against H. Wayne Lindsey, who is running on the Democratic and Conservative lines, in the November elections.
Kastler, who had been Sandy Creek town supervisor, lost that position when she was sworn in -- "as soon as I raised my right hand," she said -- under laws designed to avoid conflicts.
Lonnie Crast, deputy superintendent in Sandy Creek, is now acting superintendent, Kastler said.

I think the right way to fix this is to wait until we have extensible exceptions, so MArray throws a structured exception. DiffArray can then s/MArray/DiffArray/ without having to duplicate all the checks.

A Tribute to Brian Davison
Why should you care?
Because Davison was one of the most criminally underestimated and unfairly unrecognized musicians to emerge from the UK in the late 1960's.
Davison was best known as the drummer with the Nice, Keith Emerson's group before Emerson formed the super group Emerson, Lake and Palmer. As may be expected, the fact that Davison was replaced by another drummer did little for his reputation, and I can recall seeing many articles circulating immediately after ELP formed, and for many years later, about Emerson dumping his erstwhile colleagues in the Nice for better players.
Well, first of all, it would have been an example of the untrue becoming true by repetitiona common trait in 20th and 21st century journalism. Secondly, it was an unfair evaluation of two fine players whose main fault was that they were not as commercially palatable as their replacements. Although I feel that Jackson was unfairly maligned as well, I will focus on Davison as his recent death highlights the problem of events being reported by musically illiterate journalists.
Davison started his professional career with a group called the Mark Leeman Five. When Leeman died in an unfortunate car accident, Davison held a variety of temporary jobs until he was hired by the Attack, the original group of future Nice guitarist Davy O'List. The Nice was formed as a backing band for soul singer, P.P. Arnold ("The First Cut is the Deepest") when she relocated to the UK. Initially, the Nice backed Arnold, but also did their own set. Shortly after, the Nice separated from Ms. Arnold and were slated to record independentlybut the drummer in the group, Ian Hague, was alleged to be a bit moody (and was reputed to have a drug problem) and was let go. Davison auditioned and got the job. As a matter of fact, Davison himself had reportedly seen the group a few months before and sensed that the group needed him then (see Martyn Hanson's Hanging on to a Dream).
After the group was asked to appear on P.P. Arnold's Immediate album, which did not go well according to Hanson's book, they were able to start touring independently. The Nice garnered praise in the UK. They were ranked as being comparable to Cream and Hendrix, broke club records, appeared on continental and English television, and were critically praised. Indeed, the only obstacle to their success was an unsupportive record labelImmediate Records, run by former Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham, was notorious for allegedly failing to pay its artistsand this necessitated endless touring on the part of the band, meaning they could not do film soundtracks or other special projects. This put a strain on the band. Sadly, as they were on the brink of a commercial breakthrough in the U.S., Emerson announced he was disbanding the group.
The major reason for dissolving the group was the lack of commercial success of the group, especially in the U.S.
Now, back to Davison's role in the group... Davison himself was a master drummer, one of the three or four best rock drummers I ever saw live. Stylistically, he drew inspiration from jazz drummers (Art Blakey and Jack DeJohnette in particular) and was the first link between rock drummers like Keith Moon and more sophisticated intellectual drummers in the progressive rock vein like Bill Bruford.
Davison's style could be eruptive, as in pieces like "Daddy, Where Did I Come From?" in which he sounds like Keith Moon, with a little more polish, to "America," in which he does a polished roll followed by a fast as lightning snare break, to the 1969 Fillmore recording of "Country Pie" in which, to quote a late drummer friend of mine, "He sounds like he has three hands!" Other examples of the talent that he brought to the Nice were, his speed and flexibility in the 2nd and 5th movements of the Five Bridges Suite, in which he provided a darting hihat introduction, followed by polyrhythmic support that I have never heard any other rock drummer attempt, his light and jazzy touch on pieces like "Little Arabella" on Ars Longa Vita Brevis and the Nice's cover of Sonny Rollins' "St. Thomas". He was also one of the first rock drummers to attempt 5/4 time ("Azrael, Angel of Death" the bside of the Nice's first single, and "Azrael Revisited"), and handled tricky rhythmic changes easily ("One of Those People"). He could also change styles easily, and often did so. All of side two of Ars Longa Vita Brevis is a panorama of styles, and "For Example" on Everything as Nice as Mother Makes It goes from style to style in a great display of versatility. Also, the drumming on the sole Refugee solo album is extraordinaryDavison is tight, speedy, and fully uptodate with the increasing trends in music at the time for more disciplined rhythms that occurred in the mid1970's.

Oh boy, but the traffic to Harrison Hot Spring was just so BAD,,,! We were stuck on one section of the highway for about 1 hour and when we arrived at the resort, it was too dark :( On top of that, I was dead hungry...to the point I cannot even talk. So, as soon as we checked in, we ran out to have good old German food at Black Forest Restaurant.
Can't say no to German beer :)
Very warm & yummy bread
*Picture time*
Hausegemachte Bratwurst
in-house made Bratwurst + fried onion & peppercorn sauce
* There was nothing to complain about this dish. Perfectly juicy sausages in generous portion with the sauce & sauerkraut was.....mmm mmm mmm so good!
Pork Hock
*Oven Roasted Pork hock was amazing. The skin was crispy and the meat & fat inside was so juicy. I am used to korean-style braised pork hock with lots of spices. It seems like this dish did not have so much spice in it but there was no unpleasant smell of pork. I guess that is the sign of a good pork hock roast. :)
Cozy interior.
There were vintage skis and snowshoe on the wall.
Overall, we enjoyed our meal in Black Forest Steak & Schnitzel House. I do not know how objective we could be at the time as people say that Hunger is the best sauce in the world :) hehe
As soon as we came back to hotel, we headed to pools. It was quite nice to have quiet, relaxing time outside of the city :)
We bought some beer and had them with Bento that i brought from home (spicy dried squid snack from Thailand) I had Thirsty Beaver Amber Ale & it was great for my taste - refreshing and not too hoppy :)

On March 5th and 6th, Crown College had the Academic Lectureship Series. Every semester Crown brings in a speaker who is well learned to discuss their topics of expertise and the integration of their faith in whatever they do. This semester Tite Tiénou, Ph.D. spoke during chapel on Monday and Tuesday chapel about the renewal of Theology in the 21st century.
Dr. Tiénou served as president and dean of the Faculté de Théologie Evangélique de L'Alliance Chrétienne in Albidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, and taught for nine years at Alliance Theological Seminary in Nyack, NY. He was the founding director and professor of the Maranatha Institute in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, in addition to being a pastor in the Central Church of the Christian and Missionary Alliance. Dr. Tiénou's areas of expertise include missions, theology, and the church in Africa. He resides in the Chicagoland area with his wife, Marie and their four children.
Dr. Tienou earned the Doctor of Philosophy in intercultural studies and the Master of Arts in missiology at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, CA. He earned the Maîtrise en Théologie at Faculté Libre de Théologie Evangélique in Vaux-sur-Seine, France and the Bachelor of Schience in theology at Nyack College in New York where he graduated cum laude.
He is the Senior Vice President of Education, Dean of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and Professor of Theological Mission.
March 5th – Dr. Tiénou's first lecture was on the topic of "Contextualization and the Renewal of Theology". Simply put, Dr. Tienou showed how theology is key to knowing who we are in relationship with God, what God wants us to strive toward and how to properly understand the Word of God. These simple truths are what can be found in theology, a slightly archaic word that means very little to the average person, not studying to be in full-time ministry.
The second chapel had the title of "Listening before Doing: Christian Mission for the 21st Century". Dr. Tiénou challenged the student body to take time to understand the places, the culture and the people around you before jumping into an evangelistic role. Getting to know the culture before sharing the Gospel is the best practice.
The Academic Lectureship Series is sponsored in part by the Howard Jones Evangelism Scholarship:
Dr. Jones was a visiting lecturer of evangelism, an Associate Evangelist with the Billy Graham Association, director and feature speaker of the Hour of Freedom. Dr. Jones' compelling vision was for Christians to see the world "through the tear-filled eyes of a compassionate Christ."

If it's Sept. 19 it must be "International Talk Like a Pirate Day." Seriously.
In 1995, two guys playing racquetball started talking like pirates for fun. They liked it so much they declared a national holiday among their friends. Eventually, columnist Dave Barry heard about it and gave it national attention. Now, "Talk Like a Pirate Day" has its own Web site and merchandising.
And bloggers around the country spend each Sept. 19 doing their best pirate impressions. Here's a sampling:
Just Say Aaaargh! (Baristanet)
Talk Like a Pirate Day (Val Gal's blog)
Arr! (The Center of NJ Life)
Inappropriate "Talk Like a Pirate Day" remarks (zeldman.com)
Talk Like a Pirate Day (Delusions of Adequacy)
UPDATE (4:30 p.m.): If one day of pirates isn't enough for you, Tim Bete writes in that tomorrow is "Walk Like a Pirate Day." More info here.

For a company that vowed one year ago to reinvent the wheel of social networking, Google has generally remained an abstract force to even the most loyal users, who cooled on the idea of using G+ to share with their circles — even if enhancements suggest that the courtship is still in progress.
So, it was a surprise to learn of a YouTube Workshop being held in Toronto on Tuesday at OCAD — just one stop on a cross-Canada tour — with the promise of insights on how to go viral, reach the right audience and profit from the creation of original online videos. Could this be the beginning of more outreach in the city where its presence — at least outside of advertising sales — has been a long-distance shadow cast from Silicon Valley?
"I don't have all the answers," cautioned audience development strategist Andres Palmiter — who is neither a YouTube creator nor engineer but an erstwhile employee of producer Next New Networks, which Google bought last year. "I'm just giving you the ingredients and you make the recipe yourself."

FLEMINGTON — A Lambertville teen was arrested and charged with possession of prescription drugs with intent to distribute them on June 29 at about 9:16 p.m., said police.
According to police, Cpl. Louis Hribik was running license plates on Garden Lane when a GMC Jimmy SUV went by without its license plate illuminated. It was driven by Brad R. Bolash, 18, of Lambertville.
Hribik stopped the vehicle in front of Hunter Hills' Building G, smelled marijuana and using a flashlight, saw rolling papers on the console and a package in the driver's-side door pocket with a biohazard logo he'd seen on synthetic marijuana packages, police said.
A search revealed rolling papers in Bolash's pocket, more papers inside the console, a particle of suspected marijuana on the driver's door, and in a metal box on the floor a bottle containing 70 pills (a painkiller named Gabapentin) and two pills of Alprazolam, police said.
Hribik also learned that Bolash was wanted in Hunterdon on a synthetic marijuana charge.
Bolash was charged with possession of prescription drugs with intent to distribute, possession of less than 50 grams of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was issued summonses for alleged possession of a controlled dangerous substance in a motor vehicle and non-maintenance of lights. Bolash was lodged in the county jail.

Who Else in Tax Wants to Learn About Transfer Pricing?
I have never worked in an area of corporate tax that required me to know very much about transfer pricing. However, I do know it is a hot topic among tax professionals in corporate tax departments, particularly multinationals. So, several weeks ago at the Vertex Exchange corporate tax conference in Vegas, I decided to attend Basic Transfer Pricing Concepts, presented by George Salis, Principal Sr. Tax Compliance Analyst, at Vertex, so I could learn more. To my surprise, the class was very well attended by tax professionals who had either recently found transfer pricing part of their daily corporate tax responsibilities, seen their companies go through acquisitions that now made them multi-nationals, or experienced turnover and assumed new responsibilities. George did an excellent job of breaking down the transfer pricing fundamentals with a blend of formal definitions and personal insight.
Here, I just want to share with tax professionals some of the highlights from George's presentation, so other tax pros out there in the same boat can benefit.
- What is transfer pricing? – Pricing of goods and services when transferred within related multi-divisional companies, across borders. It also segregates the divisional cost and profits within a multi-divisional organization.
- What are the key global transfer pricing regulations & guidelines?
- Section 482 IRC
- OECD Model Treaty – Article 9
- Local country code and regulations
- What kind of inter-company transfers do transfer pricing regulations apply to?
- Tangible property transfers & sales
- Intangible property transfers & use (intellectual property)
- Loans & certain like-kind exchanges
- Other global inter-company transactions
- What is the arm's length standard? – An inter-company transaction must be consistent with results between non-related third parties. Economic analysis must be done to see how unrelated parties might structure a particular relationship.
- What are government concerns around transfer pricing?
- Shifting of income from high to low or no tax jurisdictions through affiliated entities,
- Tax avoidance resulting in lost revenue. It's all about getting their fair share of tax!
- How do corporations benefit from transfer pricing?
- Minimize global taxes and effective tax rate
- Optimize cash repatriation
- Generate foreign source income to use
- Foreign tax credits
- Use of expiring tax attributes (NOLs, FTCs)
- Which countries have aggressive enforcement? – There are a significant number of countries that have exceedingly high penalties regarding documentation, misstatements, and high audit and assessment activities, including the US. Mexico, Canada and the UK are getting very aggressive. Documentation is necessary to avoid/minimize penalties.
- What is the US audit environment like around transfer pricing? – US Competent Authority (argue on a company's behalf when there is a double taxation issue across borders) case load is the highest on record. Transfers of intangible property have become a Tier 1 audit issue for the IRS.
Obviously tax professionals who deal with this every day understand this is an intricate area of tax and an ongoing compliance problem for multinational corporations. For the newbies out there eager to get their feet wet, hopefully this has provided some valuable basic information.
Are you new to transfer pricing within the corporate tax department? What kind of information do you think would be helpful to understand about the area? Please share your thoughts in the comments below.

The Master, Skipper or person in charge of a vessel, regardless of type or size, remains responsible for its safety.
All vessels using the River must comply with the International Regulations for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), Byelaws and Harbour Master's Directions. It is the responsibility of all those who go afloat to familiarise themselves with these laws.
There may be times when it is not safe to participate in a particular activity. Before taking to the water those in charge of vessels, adults responsible for children and those organising events and races need to carefully consider the prevailing weather, tidal and traffic conditions.
The location chosen to launch a boat from a trailer needs particular consideration especially if the launch area is close to a main channel at a busy time and/or there are adverse weather or tidal conditions. Likewise the timing and location of race start needs careful planning by the Clubs involved.

So long as you're not planning to use this for video or other graphically intense applications, EVGA's UV Plus + 12 is a simple and effective way to increase productivity, especially for notebooks.
A simple USB device that allows the connection of an extra monitor while still using a single graphics card, EVGA's UV Plus (UV-12) is a convenient and inexpensive way to run multiple displays. However, it hasn't been designed for graphically intense applications or gaming.
The premise of the UV-12 is fairly simple: this small box is a USB-based video adapter allowing Windows machines to run an extra monitor for improved productivity. And before you ask, the answer is no: the UV Plus hasn't been designed with gaming in mind. This is purely for office productivity, including basic word processing and Internet browsing.
Aesthetically, there isn't much to say. The compact device is silver coloured and feels reasonably well built, while the orange EVGA logo and power/status light add a refreshing touch to an otherwise bland device. Conveniently, the base of the unit is fitted with an anti-slip rubber surface, which means it holds firmly to a desk.
The unit offers both DVI and VGA support, with a DVI-to-VGA adapter included in the sales package. A DVI port and a mini-USB connection are the only ports on the unit. Our UV12 review unit supports resolutions of up to 1280x1024 and 1440x900, but EVGA also has a UV16 model on the market that ups the ante to 1600x1200 and 1680x1050 resolutions.
Set up is a fairly simple process that involves installing the included drivers and restarting your computer. Then just connect the UV Plus to a spare USB port and run the DVI cable (or DVI-to-VGA adapter) to your second monitor. The software supports Windows Vista Aero and uses a virtual driver.
Once connected, options are fairly straightforward. An EVGA UV Plus icon that appears in the Windows Taskbar can quickly be used to adjust any settings. Here you can choose to mirror or extend the primary display — the latter provides options for extending the display to a specific direction including right, left above and below. You can also check for any software updates, adjust the screen resolution and colour quality. The software also supports rotation to the left or right or upside-down.
We had minimal issues with our extra display when connected, though speed is noticeably slower. Watching a DVD, we noticed a dropped frame every few seconds using Windows Media Player, though it was certainly still watchable. Using Windows Vista we had no issues with the Aero interface; word processing, Internet browsing and spreadsheets using Microsoft Excel were near perfect.
For many PC users, the cost of the UV Plus means they would be better off just purchasing another video card. But for notebook owners the UV Plus could be appealing.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

15 great rock and roll movies
Tom Cruise isn't the only movie star who knows how to rock
Rate This Image
Rank 10 | Avg. 6.5
'Rock and Roll High School' (1979)
Allan Arkush took the unlikely combination of a preposterously cute PJ Soles, the uber-low-budget world of Roger Corman, and the anarchy of The Ramones, and he somehow spun them all together into one of the most exuberant films about rock fandom ever made. It is a deeply silly film, but there is something almost moving at this point about seeing The Ramones together in their heyday and seeing the sheer joy and release of rock music somehow captured in the energy of this film. Arkush has had a long career, but he has rarely hit the same heights as he did here, and it's just one of those cases where everything worked exactly right.

1 1/2 Lbs ground sirloin
1 large onion, chopped
2 Tbs taco seasoning
1 32 oz box beef stock
1 15 oz can corn (with liquid)
1 15 oz can Mexican seasoned diced tomatoes (with liquid)
1 15 oz can pinto beans (with liquid)
1 15 oz can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 15 oz can kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
salt to taste
In a large stock pot, cook the beef til no longer pink. You can drain the fat if you prefer. I leave it in, it makes for a richer soup. Add onion, cook just until it starts to soften. Add in taco seasoning, mixing it well into the ground meat. Add rest of ingredients, stir well. Bring to a boil over med/high heat. Reduce heat to low and let simmer another 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste to see how much salt you'd like. You may also want a little more taco seasoning.
Garnish with your favorite taco toppings. My family really likes this with sour cream, cheese, tortilla strips, and maybe some fresh cilantro or diced green onion. SO GOOD!
Recipe adapted from my sister in-law, Jackie Kelly.
Taco seasoning from allrecipes. So much better than using a seasoning packet! Give it a try!

The bad economic news seems relentless. Last week the Battleship New Jersey announced it will be closed through Feb. 5 in a cost-savings measured designed to avoid a fiscal crisis.
Yesterday Gov. Jon Corzine said he will trim more than $800 million from this year's budget to balance shortfalls in tax revenue. (A quick shout-out here to the state arts council for spending the last of its grants budget last month before Treasury could take it back.)
And the Chronicle of Philanthropy reports that arts organizations around the country are instituting hiring freezing and cost-cutting measures to deal with the strain of the recession.
In the January issue of the Star-Ledger's monthly magazine, INSIDE JERSEY, I wrote a piece on the State of the Arts for 2009. And -- you guessed it -- the outlook isn't pretty. ArtPride New Jersey president Mark Packer said next year's budget is going to be difficult.
"We are going to have the battle of our lives," said the head of Appel Farm Arts and Music Center. (Go here to read the story online.)
