LEOPOLD – Perry Central School Board members granted medical leave requests for two teachers Monday, including a Spanish and English instructor whose job status created a stir among some students the previous week.
If the sight of shiny-red firetrucks didn't light up the eyes of more than 20 youngsters Sunday morning, a jolly ol' elf decked out in the same color did the trick.
"Ho, Ho, Ho, is Cameron here?" Santa Claus asked as he stepped into the home of Cameron and Jordan Rogier near Troy.
Santa ditched his sleigh in lieu of a firetruck as he joined Tell City firefighters to deliver toys, clothes and good cheer to children as part of the department's Christmas for Kids program.
PERRY COUNTY – Newly elected city officials in Tell City and Cannelton will be sworn in during separate ceremonies Dec. 30 and New Year's Day.
Tell City officials will accept their oaths of office during an 11:30 a.m. ceremony Dec. 30 in the city council chambers at City Hall. The public is invited to attend.
TELL CITY – Some of the appointments made by the county council at their Dec. 15 meeting, like the one-year reappointment of Raphael LaGrange to the county's alcoholic-beverage board and Rick Newton's four-year reappointment to the park and recreation board, sailed through with little discussion.
Pete Franzman's reappointment to another year on the county redevelopment commission, however, didn't come so easy.
By MARK GINTNER, Guest Columnist
Jesus Christ revealed God's plan for love, marriage and family. Many in contemporary society have rejected this plan. This rejection has brought much suffering. Sadly, we often justify our rejection by using our own experience as the measuring stick for everyone's experience.
Some of the news emerging from the Occupy movement makes me want to go to one of their protest sites, walk around and just get some of that stuff all over me.
No, not the pepper spray. The good stuff.
Editor's Note: In the months before the Christmas of 1897, an 8-year-old girl named Virginia O'Hanlon wrote a letter to the New York Sun, asking if there really was a Santa Claus. Edward P. Mitchell gave the assignment to Francis P. Church, whose reply to Virginia appeared in the Sept. 21, 1897, edition of the Sun. Virginia's letter and Church's reply, as it appeared in the Sun, are reprinted below. Virginia O'Hanlon Douglas died May 13, 1971.
Is there a Santa Claus?

PERRY COUNTY – The Perry County Chamber of Commerce announces a sale on the "Perry County: Then and Now" book by Michael Rutherford.
The book will be on sale through the end of the year for $50, tax included.

After their father has died it is left to two very different daughters to look after their father's pretty yet monstrous young wife. With on daughter shunning all responsibility it is left to the other to put her life on hold in order to carry out her father's wish.
When their Daddy snuffs it in his ancestral cottage, it's left to nice daughter Stevenson and nasty daughter Wilton to look after his Alcoholic Young Widow From Hell (Whalley-Kilmer). Inevitably, nasty daughter shuffles this responsibility off on to her angelic sibling whose graphic design business, long-term relationship with Pearson and life in general are consequently ruined.
Adapted by David Hare from his own successful stage play, this falls foul of the familiar problem that afflicts almost all theatre fare in the transition from stage to screen: what may work well on the boards doesn't necessarily make great cinema. Hare, as usual, takes on some big issues, with many moral questions asked, and the instinct for power and the struggle for virtue examined, but the end result makes for uninspired viewing. Stevenson, tired though we may be of watching it, does grief and goodness better than most, but it's Wilton who comes across best of all, as a veritable pressure-cooker of simmering rage. Interestingly, she is the only survivor of the play's original cast, and yet they all look as though they would be more at home on stage than up there onscreen five times larger than life.
First-time director Davies, himself a theatre veteran, does his best to dispel the strong whiff of grease-paint, aided by Ian Wilson's adept photography, and the portrait of virtue destroyed is convincingly conveyed, but this is a relentless, humourless movie and one that ultimately fails to move.
The Secret Rapture was originally a play and you can't help but feel it should have stayed that way. This transition would probably have been more successful had the same director not conducted both play and film. Wilton gives the best performance as the sister who shirks all responsibility whilst Stevenson is suitably depressed.

The US does offer high quality sex education to children and young adults, but the real challenge is fully implementing the programs. Some regions or schools are vehemently opposed to sex education, and are often the regions with the highest instances of teenage pregnancy and STDs. Quality programs are worthless if they aren't put into full use.
While not necessarily the best in sex education, the United States' sex education approach in most public school districts is superior to that of most developing nations, which makes up the majority of the world population. Therefore, relatively speaking, the U.S. has quality sex education. Most students learn about basic contraceptive use and are warned about HIV/AIDS, which has been on the decline over the past 20 years.

{this post is a big flashback to a lovely evening before the boy and i moved out of our tiny studio and left to circle the globe. i couldn't post this before we took off because not everything was totally set in stone for our move to london, so i didn't want to give anything away! :) i'll return to beijing after this!}
with my impending move from california, the sad time came for brittany and i to throw our final dinner party together. we have had so much fun over the past couple of years cooking and entertaining together. i will miss this part of my palo alto life immensely.
we decided to have a farewell dinner party themed around the boy and my upcoming new home, the magical city of london. we made a full roast dinner with lots of sides and even yorkshire pudding. and of course we had trifle and hob nobs for dessert. we invited our closest most beloved friends and had such a delightful evening talking and laughing in my teensy tinsey kitchen.
^^ we were going to eat outside under the bistro lights, but it was just too chilly to be comfortable (we even tried surrounding the table with space heaters!). we settled for letting the lights' glow come in the kitchen window. ^^ we had these yummy cucumber/dill/salmon appetizers, which have nothing to do with london but were delicious!
^^ it was an awesome adventure cooking in my super small kitchen. ^^
^^ the yorkshire puddings right out of the oven, before they fell pretty flat (about 10 seconds later). ha! worthy effort! ^^
^^ my most favourite girls. love them dearly and will miss them so so much! ^^
what a perfect night with beloved friends in a beloved place.

Magnetic Echo – Modulated Tape Echo
Keeley Magnetic Echo – The Mag-Echo pedal simulates tube tape echo sounds by using the delay circuit and a little bit of modulation. Tape echos have long been regarded as a warm and very guitar friendly form of delay. The Mag-Echo achieves similar results by using a touch of Lo-Fi delay, a slightly filtered echo response to keep things warm, and some modulation. Modulation, or "Wow and Flutter" in the tape world is a slight pitch shift or wavering that occurs as the tape is pulled across the heads. The modulation we use is similar to what we use in our Seafoam Chorus, a slight wavering of pitch on the trails of the repeats. With a simple set of controls for the delay – Time, Regen, and Level and with the "Wow and Flutter" controls – Depth and Rate you can create some very vintage or rather unique tones.
Delay Time – This Time control roughly sets the length between your repeats between 40ms and 600ms. This range is well suited for classic, vintage delay sounds that are great for slap-back or medium length delay times.
Regen – This control sets the number of repeats. You can set this for a single slap back echo or turn it up for a runaway, self-oscillating or self-regenerating echoes. (Now go back and twist the Time control for some crazy sounds!)
Delay Level – The Level control is your mix, how loud you want to hear the echoes.
Depth – Turn this control to achieve deeper and deeper chorusing and pitch shifting on your echoes. As you raise the control the Depth and Rate LED will start to glow giving you a visual indication as to the amount of modulation you are applying to the repeats.
Rate – This is your Flutter control. It's another way to control how poorly your tape echo is performing! Not that any tape deck was every in this bad of condition, but it sure sounds good to have a little pitch modulation on your echo! Using these controls gives you a nice way to create unique and very musical delays.
Whether you're into Rockabilly slap-back echoes, experimental sounds, or just want a great classic rock sounding echo, the Magnetic Echo will sound great in your rig.
Keeley Electronics started to develop and produce this delay way back in 2005. But as things happened, we worked on other projects, always keeping an eye on the growing delay and echo market. We sure you will be very happy with the tone of this echo/delay/modulation effect.
It's pretty clear from this unbiased shoot-out that the Magnetic Echo wins. The delays sound more like the original and not as filtered and cut off. The modulation is more sophisticated. Price point is the same!

The House of Gold: Building a Palace in Medieval Venice
In 1406 a young Venetian nobleman, Marin Contarini, married into another ancient patrician clan. His wife's family owned an old palace on the Grand Canal. Contarini demolished the old palace and, in 1421, he began to build the C... d'Oro, his 'House of Gold'. This 1993 book tells the history of the building of the palace over a period of nearly twenty years. After a general introduction to the city of Venice at the beginning of the quattrocento, Dr Goy discusses the background to the building of the palace. There follows a discussion of the building industry in Venice in this flourishing period, and of the functions of the three chief building crafts. In the latter half of the study, the whole building process is recreated in detail; the relationships between Contarini and his craftsmen are analysed, as is the pivotal role of Contarini himself, the architect manqu whose monument this was to become.

The Best Lentil Salad, Ever
Recipe by rpgaymer
This recipe was created by Sarah Britton and posted on the My New Roots blog. She calls it the best lentil salad ever, and I have to agree. I serve this over a small bed of baby arugula, and top the salad with some crumbled goat cheese for a healthy, tasty meatless meal. Other optional add-ins mentioned by Sarah are walnuts, fresh herbs & sprouts.
Top Review by DailyInspiration
Delicious salad and a great way to use lentils. I especially loved the addition of the cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves as they really added a wonderful flavor to this salad. I used green onion vs. the red as I was out and I took the advice of one of the reviewers and added some feta, toasted nuts and served the lentils on some arugula. Added a few extra dried cranberries just because I love them so much in salads. Will definitely make this salad again for sure. Made for PRMR, January, 2014.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 8 ounces dry lentils
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1⁄2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1⁄2 tablespoon stone ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1⁄4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1⁄8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1⁄8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1⁄8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1⁄8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄2 red onion, finely diced
- 1⁄2 cup dried cranberries or 1⁄2 cup raisins or 1⁄2 cup dried currant
- 3 tablespoons capers, drained
Directions See How It's Made
- Rinse lentils well, drain. Place in a pot and cover with a 3-4 inches of water, bring to a boil, reduce to simmer. Check lentils for doneness after 10 minutes, but they should take about 15 minutes in total. You will know they are cooked if they still retain a slight tooth – al dente! (Overcooking the lentils is the death of this dish) Drain & rinse the lentils under cold water and set aside.
- In a small bowl, make the dressing by whisking together the olive, vinegar, maple syrup, mustard and all the spices (salt through cinnamon).
- In a large serving bowl, gently combine the lentils and dressing. Add the onions, cranberries and capers and stir to combine well. If using other add-ins such as herbs, greens, or cheese, wait to add until just before serving. Otherwise, this salad can hang out in the fridge for as long as a couple days!

I've been in and out of network marketing businesses over the past decade or so, and I get asked this question a lot:
"Is network marketing a scam?"
While I don't believe it's a scam (which I'll explain in a second), I'm personally not a big fan of it for my own income generation. I truly believe it has to be something that you enjoy doing if you're going to succeed (as with anything). But it's far from being a scam. It may be a little saturated, but I can safely say it is a legitimate business opportunity in most cases. It really varies depending on what company you're working with. In general, you want to make sure the network marketing business you choose to join meets several criteria:
#1: The company has legitimate products and/or services for sale. If you join an MLM where the only thing you get paid for is sponsoring other people, then that's a big red flag. Legitimate businesses have real products and services to market and sell. Without products in rotation, you're probably involved in what's called a "pyramid scheme." (More on that later.)
#2: The company has a well-thought-out compensation plan. There are various types of compensation plans. The main ones are Binary, Forced Matrix, Uni-Level and Breakaway. Some comp plans even offer a combination of sorts. You'll need to research and figure out which plan will work best for you and be most lucrative in terms of building your biz. In any case, make sure you thoroughly understand how it works and how you can expect to get paid before joining and committing to build the business. (Unless you simply plan to be a product user.)
#3: The company has been around for a while and has a good reputation. The last thing you want is to experience massive success in a company within its first 2 years and then it goes out of business. I've known people who have worked as part of the corporate staff for MLMs that simply disappeared within the first year or two. I think the statistic is something like 90-95% of network marketing companies fail in their first year…
While there are perks to joining a company that's brand new and unsaturated, there are obvious advantages to joining one that has been around for a while and has a great reputation among current and past associates. Realize also that some associates will bash a company simply because they did not succeed at building the business or suddenly decided that they didn't like the products. Read every review online carefully and decide what seems to you to be most credible before making an informed decision.
Is network marketing a pyramid scheme?
As discussed above, some MLM companies may, in fact, be pyramid schemes if they don't sell legitimate products or services. However, network marketing itself is not a pyramid scheme, generally speaking.
Think about it this way: if you work for a company in Corporate America, who typically makes the most money and has the most prominent position? The CEO, right? And who typically makes less than the CEO? The people who report to him. And who typically makes less than the CEO's direct reports? The people who report to them. It goes on…
The people on the bottom tier of any company usually make less money than the people on top. If your definition of a pyramid scheme is a structure in which the people on the bottom make less money than the people on top, then Corporate America is, by definition, a pyramid scheme. In fact, the opposite is true in network marketing. Everyone has unlimited income potential, and in many companies, the people underneath you can actually surpass your income level if they work the business harder than you do.
As with any business, network marketing works if you work it! Personally, I did not enjoy MLM and decided not to work it, which is why it did not work for me. I have full confidence that if I enjoyed it and decided to act on that enjoyment, I could have been very successful in network marketing.
My overall impression is that no, network marketing is not a scam. If you have more questions about this subject and would like to know more about the best network marketing opportunities out there, get in touch!

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was caught stealing from a Kmart in Pennsylvania today. This was my first time stealing, and I'm a BROKE college student. Here are my questions:
1. What are my chances of being admitted into an ARD program?
2.. How much do you think I'll have to pay in court?
3. Hoe much does the ARD program cost?
4. Should I pay my civil demand letter if I cannot afford a lawyer?
5. If I don't pay and Kmart sues me (and I can't afford a lawyer) will I just end up paying more?
6. Can a pro bono legal aid lawyer defend me if Kmart decides to sue?
Please help!!
It is not clear from your question whether you have been, or are about to be, charged with Retail Theft. Were the police called and did you have any interaction with police or was this all between you and LP (Loss Prevention) and/or store security? My suspicion since you raised the question about a civil demand letter that the police were not involved. If that is the case do nothing (including posting more details on the Internet, Face Book, or talking to people (other than an attorney that you have or are considering hiring). Do not pay anything in response to a civil demand letter. I'm going to refer you to a couple of informative links courtesy of Attorney Judy Goldstein licensed in Illinois. If the police were involved then you absolutely need to talk with local counsel experienced in criminal defense. Most of us provide free consultations. Take advantage of that and talk to two of more. You will at least gain valuable information about what to expect in your county. Good luck.
If this is your first offense, you would qualify for ARD. This offense may only be a summary offense, so it is possible that it can be resolved at the local district court. If you can't afford a lawyer you should see if you qualify for a public defender. In regard the the civil demand, I never have recommended that my clients pay and I have never seen them being sued. Good luck.Ask a similar question
In your experience do people usually get BOTH a civil demand AND a court summons? Or is it one or the other?
I typically tell clients not to pay the civil demand letters because they are not due until a judgment is obtained. The retail stores rarely seek a judgment. Further, it has no effect upon the criminal process. However, you need to obtain an attorney for the criminal matter and proceed from there.Ask a similar question
In your experience do people usually get BOTH a civil demand AND a court summons? Or is it one or the other?
It can be one, the other, both or neither.
This matter will either be in Northampton or Lehigh County:
1. With either county, you should be eligible for ARD as long as this is your first criminal offense;
2. Both counties have fees/fines/court costs associated with their program that will top around +/-$1200. Northampton county has an initial fee of around $1000 that has to be paid in advance of your ARD court hearing withe the rest tacked on and paid over the course of your ARD probation period. Lehigh county is a bit different in this sense in that you will appear before a judge prior to arraignment who will asses your eligibility for ARD. Once assessed and granted, you will be interviewed by a probation officer who will set you up in the program including costs and payment plans.
3. Again, depends on the county. Including fines/fees/court costs, you will pay upward of $1200.
4. With respect to the civil demand from KMart; your lawyer should draft the appropriate "go pound sand" letter in response, which generally makes the matter go away, especially for such a petty amount of restitution. Again, it all depends on what was stolen, and, most importantly, was it retrieved by the store and able to be placed back on the shelves. Talk to your lawyer about this one carefully.
5. See #4 above.
6. Pro Bono is a very generic term; and I dont know of any pro bono firms that would take such a case; and that presumes that KMart would be willing to expend the significant finacial resources over $78 of restitution that may or may not have already been placed back on the shelf. Understand, those civil demand letters are form letters that go out in every single case like yours in the general hope that people will be too scared to talk to a lawyer about their rights under the specific facts of the case.
Bottom line is that you need to go into the ARD program because if you don't you will have a conviction on your record that WILL impact your employment prospects into the future, especially in such a tight economic environment. Completing ARD means you will not have a conviction on your record, and, you will be able to have that offense expunged from your record. DO NOT dismiss this opportunity.
I hope this helps. Feel free to give my office a call so we can talk about this more - initial consults are free (610)432-7200. All the Best.Ask a similar question

Effect of low-density lipoprotein apheresis on patients with peripheral arterial disease. Peripheral Arterial Disease LDL Apheresis Multicenter Study (P-LAS)
Tsuchida H. 1, Shigematsu H. 2, Ishimaru S. 3, Iwai T. 4, Akaba N. 5, Umezu S. 6
1 Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Seijunkai Johoku Hospital, Ibaraki, Japan 2 Department of Surgery, Tokyo Medical University, Tokyo, Japan 3 Department of Surgery, Tokyo Medical University, Tokyo, Japan 4 Department of Surgery, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Tokyo, Japan 5 Department of Surgery, Jinyukai Maeda Hospital, Tokyo, Japan 6 Department of Surgery, Tokyo Metropolitan Police Hospital, Tokyo Japan
Aim. The effectiveness of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis for patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) was investigated to confirm a hypothesis based on subjective evidence that the amelioration of blood rheology would be the most contributing factor for improvement in clinical symptoms. Evaluation of the severity of intermittent claudication is difficult because of the lack of an accurate parameter to assess muscle ischemia during exercise, thus we objectively evaluated by non-invasive near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) on a treadmill in this study.
Methods. Thirty-one patients with PAD were evaluated for hemostatic function and physiological parameters such as ankle-brachial pressure index (ABI), maximum tolerated walking distance (MTWD) and recovery time (RT) or recovery ability index (RAI) on NIRS. Laboratory tests included plasma assays of total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, triglyceride, and fibrinogen. The change in red-cell filtration rate was evaluated for the improvement of microcirculation. Statistical analysis was performed using the paired Student's t-test with Bonferroni's correction.
Results. A significant improvement in ABI and MTWD was observed after average 9.6±0.8 sessions of LDL apheresis treatment and the amelioration of microcirculation in ischemic muscle was objectively evaluated as significant improvement in RAI on NIRS. Rest pain was improved in all 5 patients with Fontaine's classification III or IV. A severe ulcer refractory to usual medications was dramatically diminished in the area by 10 sessions of LDL apheresis and fully healed 5 months after the final LDL apheresis treatment followed by medication. No angiographical change was observed in the arterial occlusive lesions in any patients.
Conclusion. The effectiveness of LDL apheresis on the improvement in physiological parameters such as ABI, MTWD and clinical symptoms in patients with PAD was confirmed. The severity of intermittent claudication was objectively evaluated using non-invasive NIRS. The RT or RAI was useful parameter to evaluate the improvement in the ischemic symptoms of the extremities.

Celebrity break-ups have always held our interest. While some splits have been pretty upsetting, others have been downright heartbreaking!
Here are five of the most upsetting celebrity splits in the history that have actually diminished our belief in long-lasting Hollywood love.
Jennifer and Brad were the ultimate Hollywood fairy tale couple… They seemed to be that successful, good-looking duo that had their life all planned out. They were just made for each other and were indeed Hollywood's favorite couple! Hearts shattered around the world when Brad and Jennifer split.
Nicole Kidman And Tom Cruise
Those were good old days when Cruise was married to Nicole and had adopted two children before splitting up in 2001. No one ever thought that this beautiful couple who had an amazing red hot romance and chemistry would end up splittingapart after 11 years of marriage!
Ryan Gosling And Rachel McAdams
Their romance was probably better than The Notebook's!WhenRyan Gosling and his longtime girlfriend Rachel mcAdams broke up, fans were actually shattered. Specially 'The Notebook' fans! Everyone wanted to see the perfect on screen couple together for a lifetime. Ryan Gosling while telling about his heartbroken fans said in an interview 'I feel like I want to give people hugs, they seem so sad. Rachel and I should be the ones getting hugs! Instead, we're consoling everybody else."
Demi Moore & Ashton Kutcher
One of the most heartbreaking breakup happened in 2011. Shortly after their sixth wedding anniversary, Demi Moore announced her divorcefrom Ashton Kutcher, who apparently had a one-night stand with a younger woman. The news came as a shock to the fans! It's one of Hollywood's breakups that we wish we could rewind and put a stop to.
Heidi Klum and Seal
This is the most recent bad celebrity break-up that just got worse, as Seal appeared on camera apparently citinga relationship between Klum and her bodyguard as the reason they split up. Heidi Klum later opened up about her split from Seal calling their divorce"horrible" and "hurtful."
This was our list of most shocking and heartbreaking celebrity breakups ever that truly shocked and shattered the fans and people around our beloved celebs!

IRS accused of misusing its power to snare farmers
By JONATHAN CRIBBS
Associate Editor
WASHINGTON (June 15, 2016) — The Internal Revenue Service abused a law meant to catch drug runners and terrorists to instead punish small business owners and farmers — including two from Maryland — a congressional subcommittee said late last month.
The House Ways and Means Oversight subcommittee held its second hearing May 25 on the IRS's use of a law enforcement tool called civil asset forfeiture that allowed the agency and others to seize cash from citizens' bank accounts when it suspected the deposits were structured to avoid federal reporting requirements.
"The issue that we are talking about today should be a national outrage," said Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., according to a subcommittee statement. "It is stunning to me the arrogance of the IRS."
The controversial practice ensnared two Maryland farmers: Randy Sowers, owner of South Mountain Creamery in Middletown, and Calvin Taylor, owner of a family farm in Preston on the Eastern Shore. Sowers has been publicly fighting for more than a year to have about $30,000 he ultimately forfeited to the agency in 2012 returned to him. Neither was ever proven guilty of a crime.
Civil asset forfeiture allows the IRS and selected federal and state law enforcement agencies to seize cash from bank accounts if it's believed the money has been deposited to avoid the $10,000 threshold that requires the bank to report the deposit to the IRS.
The process is used to catch criminals who deal primarily in cash such as drug dealers, money launderers, tax evaders and the like.
At the hearing, Taylor said he ultimately forfeited nearly $42,000 to the government because he said a prosecutor told him he could face criminal charges if he didn't agree to the deal. He admitted he deposited nearly $700,000 in cash from 2008 to 2011 into a bank account in increments just below $10,000 because a bank employee once told him deposits more than $10,000 were reported to the IRS.
Taylor said he didn't know structuring his deposits that way would seem suspicious "and who wants to get reported to the IRS?" he told the committee, according to his testimony.
"I had no choice but to agree to the [Department of Justice] and IRS keeping our legally earned money," he said. "I faced potential criminal charges for crimes I did not know I had committed, but that a U.S. prosecutor had nonetheless threatened to bring against me. … The potential cost of defending myself was astronomical, and it greatly exceeded our family's resources."
Sowers' money was seized after he told investigators his wife deposited, in total, roughly $300,000 in weekly increments just beneath $10,000 from April to December 2011.
But he said she structured the deposits that way at the request of a teller who said the bank wanted to avoid the paperwork-heavy process of reporting the cash deposits to the IRS.
There are more than 600 pending cases involving individuals and families who were forced to forfeit assets even though they were never charged with a crime or found guilty of one, the subcommittee said in a statement.
More than $43 million was seized in those cases.
"We have before no criminal suspicion, assets that have been seized, 618 cases," said Rep. Pat Meehan, R-Pa., to several IRS and Justice Department officials at the hearing, including IRS Commissioner John Koskinen. "Because… justice delayed is justice denied. We are looking at years of delay for some of these individuals."
IRS and Justice Department officials were "unable" to answer the question, the subcommittee said, but promised to report back how they would review and resolve outstanding cases.
"[Your non-answer] is not good enough," the subcommittee chairman, Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Ill., said to Koskinen and other officials. "It's obtuse. It's evasive. It's condescending. Not to us. But it's condescending to these people [who have been victims]."
Roskam also singled out Sowers and Taylor.
"To the Taylors and to the Sowers, we are sticking with you," he said. "You reflect a larger group and we are going to do our best to make sure that a coequal branch of government is held to account for what we think is an abuse."

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by iceberg, Oct 27, 2013.
give it some thought. i'm trying to.
what do you do?
Hire Cowher.
Hire a good/great GM. Someone with a track record. Then I'd get out of the way and let him build my team. Every Sunday I'd watch my 'Boys while sipping Mountain Dew (I don't drink) from my lavish suite.
so far, singular moves that got us where we are now.
Ask Ozzie Newsome if he'd like to come to Dallas.
If he says no, I turn to Ted Thompson.
I give them carte Blanche, and watch from my perch in the sky.
1. Hire Holmgren as my GM
2. Tell him to hire his HC
3. Stay out of the way
4. Buy a bigger boat
5. Head to Greece and watch my money grow
I guess I'd have issues finding a quickfix solution- at the current time- midseason. It's a good team, with real talent. I'd leave the defense alone (save for addressing the safety position with some real money/scouting), and I think I'd enforce a simpler, more high-octane offensive strategy.
Fire the entire coaching staff. Release every single player minus Dez Bryant and Dan Bailey. Bulldoze the new stadium. Oh and fix the green pants.
and then what?
Probably the same thing Jerry does. Make money and be involved with the team I love
I would like to add 'fix the green pants' to my post as well.
I'd fix the whole damn uni, once and for all.
Spend the next few weeks at the best gentleman's clubs in Dallas? Pretty sure i could get some VIP access as the Cowboys owner.
i asked for thought.
Garrett fired. Callahan fired. Try to hire a college coach with intelligence and passion (maybe Urban Meyer?) to be HC. Hire a real GM.
Draw clear lines of responsibility between HC and GM and hold them accountable. Empower them to control their staffs and their players to achieve objectives. Step away, place my trust in them, and let them do what I hired them to do. At the end of the year judge against clearly drawn responsibilities. If either didn't meet the expectations fire them and hire another. Repeat.
You know, what most successful owners do.
i'd try to shop romo, ware, and witten to every team in the league.
Find a QB and strengthen both lines
Change the uniform to silver pants.
Sign Tebow to the roster as the 3rd string QB.
Cut all prices - tickets, merchandise, etc. - in half.
Sad as it is, you probably wouldn't get much for them.
Hire Bill Polian as my gm. Get rid of Red and most likely hire Lovie as my HC.Put a muzzle on Stephan.
you own the cowboys, stephan isn't an issue.
what i think i'll see in this post are a lot of people doing the very same short term crap that got us here, but hey, i'll hire someone else and we're done.
a lot more thought will be required.

What $24 Million Looks Like Going Up In Smoke
This $24 million yacht went up in flames after an accident at the shipyard where it was being stored. The boat captain, Kurt Roll, used a drone helicopter to get video of the the fire after the marina was evacuated for safety concerns. The blaze that engulfed the 112-foot yacht named Polar Bear was eventually put out by the San Diego Fire Department.

Exchange 2003.
I have two external domains managed by Exchange. The second domain, i have just added, and all users are unable to send from that domain. I've added it as an additional SMTP address in AD / Email Addresses.
The error message is: You do not have permission to send to this recipient.
The primary SMTP address sends absolutely fine!
Any ideas?

So you are trying to send as "email@example.com" when "email@example.com" is primary email address? Which won't work but if you switched over the email addresses - make secondary email primary, then yes, Is this where you are getting the error?
May 4, 2012 at 12:22 UTC
We had this sort of situation 1 company made into 2 but some users wanted to have logins at both companies plus there was some leftover contacts and other stuff still stuck in the first domain. Had to do a ton of purging of mixed contacts and make sure people didn't have already saved suggested contacts for a bit to clear it all out.
Also sometimes if the contacts are done weirdly/remembered wrong you have to have the offline address book redownload and clear out the suggested contacts/redo come contacts or outlook changes an address email@example.com to mailto:mailto@email@example.com
Hope some of that might help.
May 8, 2012 at 3:53 UTC
Thanks for the replies.
Mel, if i change the primary SMTP address to the new domain - it doesn't make a difference, same problem
May 8, 2012 at 10:30 UTC
Any ideas anyone?
May 15, 2012 at 8:53 UTC
This was resolved by using 'fake' pop-accounts. The only other way to do it was to create a new mailbox for each user and give them full access to those mailboxes.

Tormentor (* 05.06.1972[1]) is a black metal musician who is best known for his work as guitarist with the Norwegian black metal band Gorgoroth.
Tormentor joined Infernus in Gorgoroth in 1996, and participated as guitarist and songwriter on the two Gorgoroth albums Destroyer (1998) and Incipit Satan (2000), both albums released by Nuclear Blast. He toured with Gorgoroth both in Europe and South America. He left the band in 2002 due to no longer being able to cooperate with bassist King ov Hell,[2][3] but returned for a one-off concert in Bergen, Norway, in 2003. In late 2007, after internal conflicts in Gorgoroth resulted in the departure of King and vocalist Gaahl, Infernus announced that Tormentor would assist him in the pre-production of the next Gorgoroth album, Quantos Possunt ad Satanitatem Trahunt.[4] In September 2008, Tormentor officially rejoined Gorgoroth.[5]
In addition to his work with Gorgoroth, in 2002 Tormentor was one of the founding members of Orcustus, together with Taipan, Infernus, and Dirge Rep. After releasing a demo and two 7" vinyl singles, Orcustus' debut full-length album was released in 2009 by Southern Lord Records.
Tormentor also participated on the album Metal for Demons (1998) by the thrash metal side project Desekrator, featuring members of Gorgoroth, Old Funeral and Enslaved. He has also appeared as bassist on releases by Gaahlskagg, and together with Infernus (as Norwegian Evil) he covered Von's Satanic Blood on a 2005 tribute double 7".

The Vaag's speed and storage volume makes it a great all around sea kayak for both day trips and and camping. Vaag's come standard with front and rear hatches, a rear day hatch plus a forward day hatch (at last, a hatch you can use while on the water!). Vaag's also have a retractable skeg, recessed deck fittings & safety lines, kayak sport hatches, and an ergonomic foam back rest. Once you try it you'll love the back support.

SummaryGoats and pirates in an artificial sandbox
The GoodThe mainstream tendency to genre-merging has become apparent in recent years. A "triple A" title today is no longer content with being just a good shooter, a good RPG, a good open-world game, etc. Every game wants to have it all. Whether this fashion is good or bad is a matter of debate, but I personally like the idea of having it all in one package. I want my shooters with RPG elements and I love sandbox gaming. So in this sense, I was excited by the mere concept of Far Cry 3 - though the example of Borderlands showed me I shouldn't jump with joy just because somebody decided to mix FPS and role-playing.
There are several smart ideas in the game I'd like to point out. While not really succeeding as an RPG, it does have a very cool integration of hunting and crafting into character growth. In the beginning of the game you can only carry one weapon, but this is not an arbitrary decision the game just wanted to impose on you. You can't carry more because you have nothing to put those weapons in, so you'll have to hunt animals and make weapon holders out of their skin. This applies to pretty much everything - you'll need larger wallets, ammo satchels, and other stuff. If you want drugs for healing or improving your combat performance you can collect herbs and make them yourself. This feature would have made plenty of sense if the game didn't make it unnecessarily streamlined and easy.
Another good idea is the obfuscation of the map in unexplored areas and the necessity to clear it by climbing on radio towers. These climbing sequences have been taken from Assassin's Creed games and are generally fun, since each tower is composed out of light platforming elements involving ropes, ladders, and so on. I like it that at least they didn't open the whole map to you right in the beginning and you really feel like traveling to a hostile, unknown territory if you haven't done the radio tower sequence there.
One of the things I love most in a game are unique situations that happen only because of the way you choose to play it. You can also call it "messing around". I know that I'm having fun with a game when I spend half an hour pushing a boat over cliffs and down a waterfall just because I feel like doing so. Performing a bloody chained takedown on two peacefully camping pirates while three boars stare in disbelief and then trapping one of the animals with a mine so that he can contribute his skin to my backpack enhancement is my idea of having fun with video games. You can hop over the island and just have your adventures - violent or calm, dark or funny - on your own, without following any scripted events.
Speaking of scripted events, they aren't bad at all. Main missions are uniformly solid, and many of them are exciting both gameplay-wise and as the driving force of the plot. There are all sorts of setpieces, be it quick-time events, sniping, rail-shooting, and so on. Such diverse main missions are great at breaking the inevitable repetitiveness of all those activities you can perform outside of the story. They clearly learned from GTA, and that is a good thing.
The story is surprisingly good. We are not talking award-winning literature here, but as far as video game plots go, this is above average. At least I was interested to find out how it all ended. There are dramatic fully first-person cutscenes and generally good writing accompanied by convincing voice acting. In particular, the actor who did Vaas succeeded in recreating a spine-chilling psychopath whose appearance in the intro masterfully sets the tone of the game. Yes, sometimes the story slips into corny musings bordering on flat moralizing, but I was ready for that after playing Assassin's Creed II, and it works much better here with an intimate modern-day cast. There are no cheap plot twists and the story has focus, gradually building up suspense until the fairly original ending.
The BadUbisoft Montreal's have certainly done a lot to popularize video games, and I like their generosity and serious intentions. However, sometimes I feel they make games specifically for those people who don't want to think or make any effort.
Excess of convenience is something that has ruined quite a few promising games for me. Thankfully, you do need to press different keys for Jason to perform different actions (I really don't like the on-rails acrobatics of Assassin's Creed games), so you shouldn't worry about Far Cry 3 not functioning like a normal FPS. However, it still lets you overpower yourself way too easily, eliminating the sense of danger that was essential for its premise. Compare this to Xenus, a game of a similar genre that made you work hard and where the sense of reward was overwhelming. You have all the ingredients of modern game design here: low difficulty level, comfortable fast travel, objects placed at your feet just when you need them, map pointers for literally everything, etc., sometimes driven ad absurdum: loot chests and valuable plants, for example, are highlighted and marked on your map. What's the point of searching for things if the game tells you exactly where they are?
This kind of approach borders on condescending and certainly leads to ridiculous situations resembling legitimized cheating. Worse is the fact you don't need to cheat because the game is so easy anyway. There is a lot to do, but every time it is absolutely clear what you need to do and how to do it. When I want to immerse myself in a hostile exotic world I don't need "activity" reminders or cheerful advices such as "you can now buy flamethrowers in any store!" popping up every minute. I want to explore, adapt to the world, and learn what to do by myself, thank you very much.
Visual design is uneven. Some of the graphics are haphazardly done, with certain elements being almost ugly. In particular, I found those bitmap horizons awful. Every time I climbed a tower and wanted to enjoy the view those fake blurry mountains and stationary clouds spoiled it all. There seem to be no weather effects and in general the game's visuals have something sterile and unpleasant in them. Artistic inspiration is clearly lacking, which further affects immersion in a negative way. Maybe I was spoiled by Dishonored, but the contrast between that game's beauty and the negligence of Far Cry 3 was almost jarring. The game's world is also quite repetitive - there are interesting locations, but overall it's just a big jungle and not much else.
Far Cry 3 is a solid enough open-world shooter, but lacks depth as an RPG. You can't talk to any NPCs, character growth is mostly restricted to skills and perks, and side quests are uniformly bland. I enjoyed very much chatting with characters in Xenus games and the communication restrictions of Far Cry 3 made the entire role-playing aspect seem more shallow.
The Bottom LineFar Cry 3 is a nice game, but it really suffers from the "Ubisoft syndrome" that is quite evident in modern design philosophy. It caters to the player too much, and as a result loses much of its credibility and immersive potential. I certainly prefer the criminally underrated Xenus games by the Ukrainian developer Deep Shadows, which offer a similar gameplay experience without being patronizing.
