New research counters claim that the 'Hobbit' had Down syndrome
Analysis of a wealth of new data contradicts an earlier claim that LB1, an ~80,000 year old fossil skeleton from the Indonesian island of Flores, had Down syndrome, and further confirms its status as a fossil human species, Homo floresiensis. From the start, fossils of a tiny population of human-like creatures from Flores (the so-called "Hobbits" of Southeast Asia) have been controversial. Are these remains evidence of a new species of fossil human, Homo floresiensis? Or are these remains simply a population of small-bodied humans (Homo sapiens), like ourselves, but with one or more individuals suffering from a developmental disorder? Researchers recently diagnosed LB1, the most complete individual recovered, with Down syndrome.
New analysis of features from across the skeleton by an international team of researchers led by Karen Baab, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Anatomy at Midwestern University in Glendale, AZ, convincingly demonstrates that LB1 did not have Down syndrome. In addition to measuring individual bones, the scientists used CT scanning to reconstruct the brain and view internal structures of the skull, as well as assessing the 3-dimensional (3D) shape of the skull.
The study, titled "A Critical Evaluation of the Down Syndrome Diagnosis for LB1, Type Specimen of Homo floresiensis," is published in the June 8, 2016 edition of PLOS ONE.
Down Syndrome
The diagnosis of Down syndrome is the most recent in a long line of diseases attributed to this particular skeleton. Down syndrome is a chromosomal disorder characterized by cognitive delays and often certain physical features, including reduced stature and brain size. The original diagnosis also emphasized the wide and short (front-to-back) shape of the skull, shape of the chin, and short femur (thigh bone) in LB1 as evidence of Down syndrome. Diagnosing Down syndrome in fossils is complicated by the fact that many common features are found in the soft tissues of the body, which do not fossilize. Nevertheless, this study provides new information about the size and shape of the brain and skull in the Down syndrome population.
Down Syndrome Diagnosis a Bust
For the current study, the team compared physical traits preserved in the skeleton of LB1 to those found in Down syndrome. While people with Down syndrome are not identical to one another, it was nevertheless clear that LB1 was very distinct from all humans, including those with Down syndrome.
The study found that LB1's brain was much smaller than that seen in Down syndrome individuals. Likewise, the shape of the skull vault, which surrounds the brain, and chin anatomy were both outside the range seen in humans, with or without Down syndrome. Moreover, the diminutive LB1 individual, estimated to be just over a meter (1.09 m) in height (or 3' 7"), was well below the height range of comparable individuals with Down syndrome. In fact, females with Down syndrome from Turkey reach a comparable height as the adult LB1 by 6.5 years of age and are considerably taller as adults (1.45 m or 4' 9" on average). The femur is disproportionately short in LB1 relative to the feet and arms compared to all humans, regardless of whether they have Down syndrome.
LB1 Remains Type Specimen of Homo Floresiensis
Importantly, this study indicated that LB1 not only differed from individuals with Down syndrome, but was more clearly aligned with more archaic human species. Its small brain, low cranial vault shape, absence of a chin, smaller body size and limb proportions all point to a pre-Homo sapiens ancestry. The authors conclude: "The skeletal evidence overwhelmingly contradicts a diagnosis of Down syndrome. Rather, our study is yet further evidence that Homo floresiensis was a distinct species with a fascinating, if somewhat nebulous, evolutionary history."

text: MIRROR: Download from MEGA Click Here! I am very curious about the lifestyle. Looking back with the knowledge I have today, I can clearly see that my earliest sexual fantasies were kinks, and any fantasies I ever had about a relationship with a woman (beyond sex) also followed that line. Indeed, the idea of a vanilla relationship is one I find difficult to relate to. My background and personality, however, make it... difficult, at best, to explore this. I suffered agoraphobia from age 7 to 24, so went a significant (and important) portion of my life largely avoiding contact with people. Even though I was treated quite a few years ago now and live a 'normal' life, normal for me does not extend much beyond going to work, doing shopping, etc. I have no particular fears with relationships any more, but I am socially extremely awkward. This awkwardness extends to an extreme shyness around those I am not extremely familiar with, as I do not know how to act or make casual conversation. This shyness mellows quickly as I get to know people, but makes it difficult for be to break the ice initially. My hobbies grew to be very inward and isolationist, due to all those years of being unable to face the prospect of anything else. I am a non-drinker/non-smoker, so traditional places for meeting people like bars and nightclubs hold no interest for me (I have tried, but found them tedious places and unenjoyable). I have read a lot of literature on the lifestyle (eg The New Topping/Bottoming Book, etc) which not only enhanced my interest, but also brought me to understand the dangers. I am probably the kind of person most vulnerable to the kinds of people who abuse the trust of a kinky relationship, as I would be incapable of identifying the warning signs. I am not sure I could be a good partner in a kinky relationship either, without some form of 'training' from someone experienced (though, that is probably quite normal). I want to explore this aspect of my personality, but have no idea how to go about it in a safe and sane manner. I have gone all these years without ever having anything that resembled a relationship and find myself unable to imagine how to find something as 'exotic' as a kinky one. Does anyone have any advice on how to get out of this shell and take the first steps into a kinky world?

CASE STUDY Automotive Components Limited is a major manufacturer of automatic filters mostly used in automobiles of various types. It supplies filters directly to automobile manufacturers in bulk quantity besides supplying to the market for replacement. One day, two engineers from a reputed engineering consultant visited the factory. They inspected the production facilities and workshop. They came on the next two days also. During their visit, the atmosphere in the workshop was tense as the engineers made several enquiries from the foreman of the workshop. Three days after the last visit of these engineers, a notice was put up asking the workers to shut off motors and lights during the lunch break. During the following week, a rumour spread that the company was not able to discharge its contractual commitments because of the technical defects in the plant. Therefore, a big order was likely to be cancelled resulting into closure of the plant for some time. This period became quite disturbed both for workers as well as for the foreman. Three workers

made enquiries on different occasions from the foreman about the reasons for the visits by the outside engineers. In fact, one of the workers put a question, "Is there going to be layoff in the plant"? The foreman himself being ignorant in the matter had little to say. Thus, rumours spread further about the likely layoff and retrenchment of some workers. The workers became nervous and productivity dropped. They approached their union leaders about the possible layoff and retrenchment. The union leaders criticised the approach of the management and threatened strike if any worker was laid off or retrenched On getting this news of lower productivity and threat of strike, the production manager visited the plant and talked to the foreman and some of the senior workers.

The Clark/DPH Academic Health Department, that I have been involved in was prominently featured in the Clark University Alumni Magazine in Fall 2014.
The article, written by Jim Keogh, interviews John O'Brien, former CEO of UMASS Medical and current Distinguished Professor at the Mosakowski Institute, Derek Brindisi, current Director of the Worcester Department of Public Health, William Mosakowski, and myself about reasons behind this initiative, and some of the ongoing projects done by faculty and students in the community in collaboration with DPH.
This initiative, based on another model in Kentucky, links the university with the DPH in a way that allows students to gain knowledge about the public health system, become involved in ongoing collaborative research with faculty projects that have been formally or informally commissioned by the DPH, and gain real life exposure, from early on in their studies, about conducting community-based, collaborative research in benefit of the city.
One component of this model is designed to respond to public health questions efficiently, collaboratively, and in a sustained manner.
1. In collaboration with the DPH, faculty use their knowledge and experience in research or topical expertise to design focused projects to answer specific questions that are part of a broader study or initiative.
2. Students then work closely with the faculty to design a study from initial design, to data gathering, to reporting.
3. Findings from the study get shared with the DPH and other stakeholders.
4. Reports and data get archived and are accessible by the next group of students so that research can be advanced with as little replication as possible.
This approach minimizes community research fatigue, and allows knowledge to be used and built upon.

l've received a couple of emails recently regarding Lee Hwa Jewellery's new and supposedly innovative collections. First up, there are the Buddha Diamonds.
These Buddha Diamonds are developed by Munich-based Schreiner Fine Jewellery and are shaped to represent a meditating Buddha. Each Buddha Diamond has up to 58 facets and is sculpted from a single rough diamond. This diamond – which is internationally patented – takes ten times longer to cut compared to a normal diamond. The range also includes earrings, bracelets and necklaces. Honestly, I find it lacks the 'wow' factor for me:
Buddha Diamond earrings, anyone?
The full range of Buddha Diamonds will be available at the Lee Hwa Diamond Promenade (ION Orchard), while Buddha Diamond In Glass will be available in all other Lee Hwa Jewellery boutiques from end April 2015 onwards.
What IS pretty, though, is the Vanda pendant! 🙂
Vanda's design incorporates Lee Hwa Jewellery's signature 19k Purple Gold™, accompanied by rose and white gold. Also, there are several dozen round white diamonds, purple amethysts and pink tourmalines combined with a round solitaire diamond on the orchid's lip. The Vanda pendant probably looks best on the rose gold chain.. The Vanda Pendant is available at Lee Hwa Jewellery boutiques in ION Orchard, Suntec City, and VivoCity from June 2015. Each limited edition Vanda pendant comes with its own individual serial number. If you really like jewellery fashioned to look like orchids, you can also check out Risis' collection here. Very tempting indeed.

I'm quite tall. I'm 5'10'' and the guy I like it probably around 5'7'' or 5'8''. All I know is, I'm taller than him by a few inches.
I am willing to still be with him, because I don't care about height. His personality is all that matters and I love it. Plus, it doesn't hurt that he's painfully good looking.
The issue is though, will he still be interested in me even if I'm taller. I really want him, and I feel like my height is a turnoff to him.
Most Helpful Guy
a girl who is taller than the guy is usually a turn off, but if he likes you as much as you like him then he will be okay. he will think about it a lot but it won't be a serious problem, and he might joke about it from time to time. us don't wear high heels :)00|00|1
Haha don't know what I'm gonna do for prom yet xD

Diane's Dad's Summer Sandwich. I couldn't get it out of my head all weekend, so I bought all the ingredients for it while I was at the grocery store this afternoon.
The sandwich contains crunchy peanut butter, sweet onion, cucumber, tomato and sharp cheddar cheese, in that order, bottom to top, on whole grain bread.
The order, according to the recipe submitter and the NPR hosts, is paramount — the sandwich supposedly isn't as good with the ingredients in a different order.
I made one for dinner (along with an arugula salad).
Was it magical? No. But it was very, very good.
While I was eating it, I remembered that White Trash Cooking (actually an amazing tome, scholarly and warm) has a recipe for peanut butter and Vidalia onion sandwiches. Apparently the peanut butter-onion sandwich was a favorite of Ernest Hemingway, too. So that's an established flavor combo.
Then I remembered a piece I wrote about strange Southern sandwiches several years ago -- and how good many of them were. Banana-mayonnaise, peanut butter-pickle, canned pineapple-American cheese.
The crunch of the cucumbers, peanut butter and onion in the NPR sandwich was very satisfying. And the cheese does bring a nice salty roundness to the whole thing. Cheese and peanut butter together make for a very filling sandwich, though — almost too much.
Were I to make it again, I'd put a super-thin layer of mayonnaise on the top slice of bread, and I'd salt the tomato. Sriracha would also go well in there.
But I think rather than duplicating it, I might experiment with some other peanut butter-vegetable sandwiches. Maybe add a hardboiled egg for a different kind of protein.

Update: For lunch today I made one with PB, mayo, jalapenos, cucumbers and tomato. It was tasty and (even though I went light on the condiments) extremely filling -- but again, not so compelling that I'd recommend it far and wide. Still, interesting.

The New York Times has an article about the polarizing effect of new media. It's an argument that's been around for several years: we have lost a shared cultural television experience with the proliferation of cable and internet entertainment. Shows such as "All in the Family" and "Mash" were watched by nearly everyone in their time, but today people pick and choose and time-shift their entertainment. As thin as television can be (so the argument goes), at least in the old media days it was a shared experience and common cultural language.
Apple prides itself on making beautiful things. Few devices are as arresting as a MacBook, iPad, or iPhone on an empty table, caseless and cordless. The visual is striking and inviting. Apple wants us to love its products, and love using them, and their careful design makes them light and beautiful, encouraging us to carry and use them. Their trackpads and displays are top notch, and interacting with them is fluid and smooth. Apple products have all day battery life, wake instantaneously, and perform basic tasks with fluid panache. The new MacBook Pros are in this vein, striking in their appearance with nothing plugged in our hooked up to them. The Thunderbolt ports along the sides are very handsome.
There is something to physically writing things on paper. There's research regarding this, that the human brain better remembers and processes things when they are written on paper versus typing.
I'm finding that myself writing out notes and outlines more these days, despite a long practice of being digital. I might have an outline of a class in digital form, but I still enjoy jotting down a few notes or quotes. There's something more pleasurable about the writing, something more free form and empowering about a blank sheet of a paper and a good writing instrument. Digital notes are so powerful for their storage and search capability, but the irony is I rarely use these things.
It's like the Olympics is still on, as we chat about them, and talk a bit more about how to read a book.
Hamilton the Musical is about a book. Who relentlessly reads a thick biography on his honeymoon, dog-earing pages for a potential musical? Lin-Manuel Miranda. He read a book about restoring someone's legacy through a story, and Miranda saw that that story could be a hip-hop Broadway musical and so he wrote it. The result was an oddity, a musical that is historically accurate but stylistically and performatively wrong (the usual method is to change the history while making it look accurate). He hired the book's author, Ron Chernow, to check his musical for its historical accuracy so that the story could be true. At Miranda's last performance he read from Chernow's book, because the musical is, in many ways, a love story for a great book.
There's a lot of fun here, as we ask what religion Captain America is (probably Methodist), Kevin loves on Alexander Hamilton The Musical, we talk about banjos, make fun of supposedly historical Jesus movies, and brag on the first Avengers movie.

GPLv2 Less Popular
Latest statistics from Black Duck Software show version 2 of the General Public License (GPLv2) sliding in popularity. Just under half of all the open source projects contained in the September 2009 statistics used the GPLv2.
The software resource specialist Black Duck Software publishes daily updated data on the twenty most popular open source licenses on its homepage. Basis for the data is an in-house Knowledge Base with information on around 185.000 software projects. The latest version shows 49.5% GPLv2 users, which translates into about 100.000 projects. In June 2008, the classic license lay by 57.7%. Yet the GPLv2 remains undisputed leader, with the second place Lesser General Public License (LGPL) way behind on 9.5%. The Perl Artistic License takes third place and version 3 of the GPL with 5.3% comes fifth. LGPLv3 can be found at position 15.
The competiton between GPL versions 2 and 3 is especially poignant. Linus Torvalds has strongly objected to the stricter edition and has repeatedly emphasized that the Linux kernel will remain under GPLv2. The GPLv3 was released in June 2007, its forerunner has been around since 1991. The LGPL was created by the Free Software Foundation under the leadership of Richard Stallman, as was the network variation, AGPL.
In his commentary on the statistics, Black Duck Chairman, Eran Strod, praises the Foundation's achievements, regardless of the version clash. "As someone who is passionate about open source, I can't say enough about the FSF and the incredible contribution that they have made to the industry (and the world) in creating the GPL family of licenses." In total, Black Duck Software puts the number of current open source licenses at 1698.

No money, no lunch: School takes lunch away from students without funds, throws it away
SALT LAKE CITY – Some students in Utah say school officials are refusing to serve kids lunch who don't have enough money in their lunch account.
When Sophia Isom got to the end of the lunch line on Wednesday, she was met by a district nutrition manager who was monitoring accounts.
Isom said, "She took my lunch away and said, 'Go get a milk.' I came back and asked, 'What's going on?' Then she handed me an orange. She said, 'You don't have any money in your account, so you can't get lunch."
According to Sophia, the food that was on her tray was thrown in the trash.
Erica Lukes, Isom's mother, said, "There were lots of tears and it was pretty upsetting for them."
The district said it started notifying parents about negative account balances Monday.
However, Isom's mother says she was not notified.
Lukes said, "Even if they did try to send the word out, you still don't do that to a child. You don't take a lunch out of their hands."
Jason Olsen, spokesperson for the Salt Lake City School District, said, "It probably could have and should have been handled in a different manner."
He said they will review the notification system and should have given the children a grace period.
Olsen said, "They did take that tray away and give them fruit and a milk. We don't ever let kids go without any food entirely."
In other districts in the area, students will still receive lunch and parents will get a phone call and a letter.
Each district has programs that allow parents to set up recurring payments and get timely notifications.
Olsen said, "That will help but we also need to handle these things with delicacy."

Sunday night's Nature program on PBS, about the mountain gorillas in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, raised bigger questions than it answered.
These are "silverbacks," named for the distinctive band of (you guessed it) silver that marks mature gorillas. These are also the gorillas with whom scientist Dian Fossey was long associated.
The program followed one gorilla, Titus, 33 years old and still, amazingly, the ruler of a large band of females and other males. He had been orphaned at 4 and for little other reason that was given than that he was good looking, he assumed leadership. However, Kuryama, another, younger male, threatens Titus's dominance, eventually taking over.
At one point, Titus leads his followers to the top of a volcano and into its crater; this part was surprising and interesting. Far down the green hillside was a crater lake, although the gorillas stay near the top until Kuryama leads most of the band back down. End of Titus's rule.
Most of the questions raised had to do with why scientists have for years trailed these gorillas around making notes on the most minute details of their lives. There was no answer given – just lots of footage of young and older-now scientists taking notes and speaking in whispers to the camera.
What good did their observations – or "intrusions" -- do for the gorillas? It's anybody's guess. But no doubt there's a scientist connected with this project who can tell us when and how many times each one thumped his chest with his fists.

This Research Cruise to Ascension Island in the tropical Atlantic is funded by the Blue Marine Foundation (http://www.bluemarinefoundation.com/) and is the first of its kind. The survey is taking place on the Royal Research Ship James Clark Ross (JCR), operated by British Antarctic Survey (BAS). The JCR, a state of the art research vessel, launched by HM the Queen in 1990, is primarily a marine research vessel for biological, oceanographic and geophysical cruises. It is 99m long with a gross tonnage of 5,732. It is equipped with a suite of laboratories and winch systems that allows scientific equipment to be deployed astern or amidships. The ship has an extremely low noise signature, allowing the deployment of sensitive acoustic equipment. A swath bathymetry system was fitted in 2000 for fine scale characterisation of the seabed.
Ascension Island harbours globally important marine biodiversity, representing unique assemblages of western and eastern Atlantic flora and fauna. Currently, however, a paucity of baseline scientific data from the marine environment is a major barrier to the effective management and conservation of the Island's marine resources. Data on the abundance, distribution and biology of endemic and commercially exploited species is lacking.
To fill these data gaps, Blue Marine have created an amazing opportunity to assess the marine biodiversity of Ascension and its waters from a previously unexplored depth range of 50 – 1,000 m with a 3 day survey on a state of the art research vessel, the JCR. This will enable new discoveries about the marine biology, ecology and oceanographic features of the island's waters that will inform us about this unique island environment. This survey, operating round the clock, will cover as large an area as possible around the waters of Ascension Island; with the main focus being depths of 1,000m and shallower and out to circa 20 km where biodiversity is thought to be highest.
During the survey, a number of tools will be used including a high resolution multibeam echo-sounder to revel fine scale bathymetry and create habitat maps and identify features that may be hotspots for biodiversity and these will then be assessed in more detail with video and still photography using BAS's camera lander (SUCS). A benthic (sea bottom) sampler, an Agassiz trawl, will be used to collect organisms which can then be studied and will contribute to a quantitative assessment of biodiversity in the area and also ground truth the images taken by the SUCS lander. JCR will also be collecting oceanographic data.
The vessel arrives at Ascension Island on the 14th October, and comes with a full scientific crew comprising scientists from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), South Atlantic Environmental Research Institute (SAERI), Shallow Marine Surveys Group (SMSG) and Ascension Island Government (AIG).

Five things you don't need to know but might want to, and where to keep an eye out for TV crews
Keep an eye out for television crews as C-SPAN will be in town for a week filming stories for a two-day feature on St. Louis as the city celebrates its 250th anniversary. Crews are expected to be here all week, shooting stories about the Arch, the Old Courthouse and delving into the history of immigration in St. Louis. The special will air June 21 and 22.
Stan Kroenke, owner of the St. Louis Rams, bought Tucson's oldest mall for $81.7 million. He plans on continuing to operate the almost 93-acre property as a shopping destination.
The Missouri Department of Corrections has banned the March issue of Entrepreneur magazine, following the banning of the May issue of St. Louis Magazine earlier this month because of its coverage of the death penalty in Missouri. Warden Troy Steele wrote Entrepreneur Media exec Mark Tavarozzi, saying the issue was censured due to it "depicting information detrimental to the offender's rehabilitation, and has been prohibited from being delivered within the relevant facilities." The only problem is, Tavarozzi can't figure out what was deemed worth censoring.
The Associated Press' Alan Scher Zagier recently wrote an article entitled ' Taste the Big Easy in St. Louis' about The Broadway Oyster Bar in the news agency's weekly series about food as the driver of tourism. "Tucked into St. Louis' former French enclave of Soulard, the 1840s-era roadhouse isn't shy about its allegiance to New Orleans," Scher Zagier wrote. "It's decked out for Mardi Gras, sporting everything from those classic beads to purple-and-green Christmas lights and Gulf Coast mollusks."
The St. Louis Bosnian community is rallying together to help those affected by the worst flooding in over a century in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The Bosnian Chamber of Commerce and the United Bosnian Association, St. Louis, have joined with local Bosnian organizations and Islamic centers to collect donations. Here are some ways you can help , including collection sites planned this weekend. St. Louis is home to the largest Bosnian community outside Bosnia itself.

David Hockney wisdoms

Great conversation with Andrew Marr on Radio 4 (of course). Hockney on about the craft and poetry of the artist – what can and can't be taught. Reminded we have to be able to research both aspects of ads without letting the craft of research stimulus get in the way – and without letting over rational consumer critique get in the way of the implicit poetry.

It is the future of Asian electric grids.
A radical change is sweeping energy generation and distribution systems across the world. The rapid adoption of renewable energy sources means that electric grids need to become smarter, and energy companies must find the right technology in order to keep up with consumers' swiftly changing energy consumption habits.
"Tomorrow's electric grid will be totally different," said Bernard Lassus, chairman of the G3-PLC Alliance.
"The management of this grid will be totally different. We will need data in order to manage this grid," he said, speaking at the sidelines of the Alliance's annual general assembly in Paris, France. Lassus noted that the increasing popularity of renewable energy sources, such as the rising use of photovoltaic cells, means that even ordinary consumers can now be producers of energy.
Technology has blurred the traditional line between energy producers and consumers. Against the backdrop of these changes, the G3-PLC Alliance advocates efficient grid management through the use of smart and reliable communication technology.
A cutting-edge solution
The G3-PLC, or 3rd Generation Power Line Communication, is a plug-and-play solution that uses the existing electric networks to carry information, so installation efforts are minimal. It is a radio-free solution that allows consumers to effectively monitor and manage their electricity consumption. Marc Delandre, general secretary of the G3-PLC Alliance, noted that it is a global standard that does not require any license fees.
"G3-PLC will still exist in 20 or 40 years, since it's a mature but evolving technology, with always a backward compatibility with the previous version," he added. The technology is used around the world in smart metering, home energy management, street lighting, renewable energy, and electronic vehicle charging spots.
Lassus noted that 1 million G3-PLC products are on field today. The Alliance aims to have 10 million by 2017, and 100 million by 2020. The G3-PLC alliance is a consortium created in 2011 by 12 founding members to standardize and promote the G3-PLC technology on a worldwide scale.
It has more than 70 member companies today, including those from Japan, Singapore, China, India and Taiwan.

Back Owed Taxes
Back Tax obligations are State or Federal tax obligations that are outstanding from previous tax obligation periods. These taxes normally result in some type of charges or interest due to the fact that they are overdue, and also will continue to collect up until they are paid. For staying clear of liens or forced collection activities taken against you by tax obligation firms, it is very recommended that back tax obligations are taken care of as swiftly as possible.
individuals as well as businesses}, and also left unattended can cause major repercussions. pronto tax
Revealing initiative to pay back tax obligations is the recommended approach, in contrast to waiting for tax obligation agencies to come to you for repayment. The I.R.S. even offers amnesty to taxpayers to demonstrate intent to pay off their back tax obligations, supplying aid as well as payment plan choices to those who require them. Nevertheless, without your collaboration, tax firms will take aggressive steps.
The very first step in paying off back taxes is by filling out the suitable kinds for every unsettled tax year in. A lot more included back tax obligations may need the support of tax professionals that are well familiarized with tax legislations as well as are qualified to negotiate with companies on your behalf.
If you are incapable to pay back tax obligations, a payment plan is the best tax preparation near me
option. By determining a total up to provide as settlement that fits your budget, you might stay clear of extreme legal consequences. It is essential to understand, however, that tax obligation companies could take a selection of actions to accumulate the funds owed, consisting of residential property confiscation, placement of liens and a levy on economic accounts.
Internal Revenue Service Audit
Bout 80% of all individuals will certainly be examined at least when throughout their period as a staff member.} Most Americans do not have ways to bring in I.R.S. focus, and also the I, R, S lacks sufficient personnel to examine every citizen's income tax return. Depending upon income degrees and occupation, you might or might not be a target for a Texas I.R.S. audit.
An I.R.S. audit in Texas is typically reserved for tax returns with "high audit possibility", or returns that will most likely have a significant deficiency in settlement. Certain types of income, revenue degrees, professions, purchase histories and deductions claimed on tax obligation returns tend to draw in even more focus. The system is coordinated by the I.R.S. computer, which ratings each tax return with a number; the higher the number, the higher the probability it will certainly be examined.
If you occur to fall in this classification and also are hit with an I.R.S. Audit in Texas, it should not be brushed off; as soon as you have the I.R.S.'s focus, they will probably expand their investigation beyond the previous tax year to tax returns and deductions made in years before. Ultimately, an audit can cost a taxpayer hundreds, as well as in some cases countless bucks, and even cause seizure of residential or commercial property and also physical properties. To conserve your properties, your task is to show to the I.R.S. that you reported your earnings properly and took the proper deductions. You will have to sustain this with documents, which the I.R.S. will certainly use in order to help establish whether or not you submitted correctly. From there, they will make a decision if you owe additional taxes. Most taxpayers are unable to offer all the documents required, which is one of the key reasons the I.R.S. wins 80% of audits.
In a rare instance, the I.R.S. will certainly find that you overpaid your taxes which you are owed a refund.
There are three types of audits, depending upon the amount of cash reported on the return. The very first is a "Correspondence Audit", which is done completely by mail. All documents exchanges to sustain the accuracy of your income tax return are sent out by post; in these instances, the I.R.S. typically intends to obtain information regarding realty deals, supply transactions and also specific itemized deductions. Generally a disparity in third-party documents is the reason for a Correspondence Audit.
The next kind of Audit is an "Workplace Audit", when the taxpayer fulfills in person with the I.R.S. and also brings them documents that the I.R.S. requests. In these instances, it is extremely recommended that the taxpayer hire the assistance of a tax specialist with know-how in audit procedures. Their suggestions will guide you in giving proper information and supporting your argument. The last is a "Field or House Audit", when the I.R.S. brows through you at your house or company for an audit. These are one of the most serious audits, as well as once again, are best handled utilizing a tax expert's assistance.
A Texas I.R.S. audit is a very included procedure that is not straightforward to navigate alone. Tax experts recognize ways to find details that will certainly sustain your situation that you could unknown about, which will dramatically raise your opportunities of a far better result. Like in a chess suit, experienced players are the ones with the very best strategy and also know their challengers' next action.
Tax Liens
Taxpayers with unpaid back tax obligations that have actually stayed clear of resolving their debt with I.R.S. are prime targets for a Tax Lien. The term "Tax obligation Lien" refers to the I.R.S.'s lawful case on a taxpayer's building as payment for their debt, and also it is just one of the initial aggressive actions the I.R.S. takes to accumulate on back taxes after previous contact has actually been overlooked. It will then transform into a Tax obligation Levy if a Tax Lien is additionally neglected.
CP-503, cp-502 and also cp-504
a boat, vehicle or home
If you continuously disregard a Tax Lien, the I.R.S. inevitably confiscate your properties and also sell them, likewise knows as a Tax Levy. By the time your tax scenario concerns this, the I.R.S. has little confidence in your ability to repay your back taxes. It is highly recommended that taxpayers not allow it to rise this far. Waiting out the 10-year Statute of Limitations might feel like a viable alternative after a Tax obligation Lien is put on properties, but it is most likely that you will have a Levy placed on you before the Law runs out. Also if you do not have all the funds to repay your debt, it is highly recommended to approach the I.R.S. first, instead of waiting on them ahead to you.
Speaking with a tax expert for assistance is strongly recommended if there is a Tax Lien on your residential or commercial property.

Every team has a history and the Barracudas are no exception. Formed in the late 90's, the team saw challenges as with any first-year programs. However, the Barracudas began to create history when in 1997, Marilyn Stephens-Franklyn arrived to Coral Reef High School to coach the girls basketball team. But, Principal Greg Zawyer had different plans. He took the experience basketball star at Temple University and decided he wanted her to coach the boys' basketball team instead. Coach Stephens-Franklyn became the first and only female to coach a boys high school basketball team in the state of Florida. She coach at Coral Reef for three seasons from 1998 to 2003.
The Barracudas didn't win any games that first season and for a few seasons they didn't celebrate any championships. However, they began to make a push and did reach the Regional Tournament several times. During the 2008-2009 season, they won the District 6A and State Championship under coach Gaston (Chachi) Rodriguez. A. They continue to make a few appearances in the Regional Tournament after that season and in 2013 won the 8A District Championship under present coach Adam Graham.
Many of our student athletes have moved on to play at the college level DI, DII, DIII etc. Some of our alumni who have or are currently representing include: Jerron Granberry class of 2009 (University of Wyoming), Charles Hankerson Jr. Class of 2010 (Alabama & University of Wyoming), Cedric Hankerson Class of 2013 (Boston University) and Brian (BJ) Glassford (Stetson University).
Adam Graham Head Coach
Coach Graham has been a part of the Barracuda family coaching basketball for the past 6 years. He was named the head boys basketball coach in 2012-13. In daily life he not only likes to play basketball but also likes to ride 2 wheel balance scooter.Prior to becoming a Cuda he had coached at the middle school and travel team level including AAU. He has continued to coach at those levels and now has over 10 years of coaching experience
Bobak Massoudi Assistant Coach
Coach Bo attended Coral Reef where he played for Coach Graham and Coach Gaston (Chachi) Rodriguez. He served as a student assistant to the FIU men's basketball team for 2 years in which he assisted at practices, game-day operations, and video coordinating. He is currently working with the brightest flashlight on amazon and Erik Spoelstra Basketball Academy and will begin his second year on the Barracuda coaching staff, his first at the helm of the JV.
Darryl Ward Assistant Coach
Coach Ward has been a part of the Barracuda family for over 8 years. This will be his third year as an assistant coach to the boys basketball. Coach Ward is also part of the Football Team coaching staff and coaches the Track & Field Team.
Coral Reef Wins 8A District 16 Championship
Our Barracuda boys defeated South-Dade to advance to the district championship game and after watching the Homestead win over Southridge during the district semi-final, the Barracudas knew that the championship game for districts was going to be a tough one. The Broncos came out strong and at a fast pace. The game was close during the first two quarters with Homestead leading 26 – 18 at the half. During the second half, the game turn into one NOT for the faint at heart. Coral Reef came out strong in the second half and on a 19 to 9 run tied the game just a few seconds before the end of the fourth quarter and go into Over-time. Thru some good defensive plays the Cudas went on a 6 to 1 run to hold on and win the 8A District 16 Championship for the fourth time in school history.
The Cudas will now prepare for the Regional Tournament and their first hurdle will be South Miami at home this coming Thursday February 11th at 7:00 pm.

Poet Kay Ryan's First and Second Saturn Returns
photo available for download blueflower.com
Kay Ryan is an American poet whose life beautifully illustrates winning cooperation with the two most important astrology transits, the first and second Saturn Returns. The first Saturn Return comes (for all of us) between 28-30. This tremendously important transits asks us to find our authentic selves and give ourselves second birth so to speak, to leave our parents again, consciously this time, and their expectations, and begin to lead our own lives. If we succeed at this very arduous task, the second Saturn Return between 58-60 years old brings tremendous rewards.
Work hard at Saturn tasks and Saturn always delivers. The converse is also true; perhaps this is why many people die at around 60. I write these articles to help you get in the first group with Kay Ryan.
You are not reading this by chance.
Kay Ryan was born in 1945. At around 30, her first Saturn Return, she took time off for long bicycle ride in order to "find herself". She was right on schedule with the task at hand. Everyone should do this between 28-30! Something about the pedaling, pedaling, pedaling reminded her of poetry. She had an epiphany, as many do at 30, and decided to devote her life to writing poetry.
Ryan took a job in the teaching field where she could work just two days a week and pay the bills. In order to live like this, she stripped her life down to the bare minimum.
For the next 30 years she wrote and wrote. Nothing much happened and she did not seem to ask for much to happen.
When she was around 60 someone gave a book of her poetry to someone that mattered in the literary world and soon Ryan's work appeared in The New Yorker. Thus the second Saturn Return was positive payback time. Ryan had worked diligently at her authentic task and the reward was bound to come. Thirty years seems like a long time but Saturn wants us to focux on what is really important to us between 30 and 60, not what someone else wants. These are our mature, serious years when we bear the yoke and pull the plow. The harvest comes at 60
Since Ryan's breaks began at 60, according to poets.org, her poems and essays have appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Poetry, The Yale Review, Paris Review, The American Scholar, The Threepenny Review, and Parnassus, among other journals and anthologies. She was named to the "It List" by Entertainment Weekly and one of her poems has been permanently installed at New York's Central Park Zoo. Ryan was elected a Chancellor of The Academy of American Poets in 2006.
Since l971, the time of her first Saturn Return, Ryan has lived in Marin County in California.
My favorite Kay Ryan poem:
Too much rain
Loosens trees.
In the hills giant oaks
Fall upon their knees.
You can touch parts
You have no right to —
Places only birds
Should fly to.

Karzai is wild card for U.S. strategy in Afghanistan
Tuesday, November 3, 2009
As the dust settles from Afghanistan's election, President Hamid Karzai's emergence as the victor by default cements the central dilemma facing President Obama as he decides whether to escalate the U.S. involvement in the war there.
The top U.S. military commander in Afghanistan has proposed a strategy that would require an effective Afghan government to deliver services, support military operations and represent a viable political alternative to the Taliban insurgency. But Karzai's victory leaves in place a mercurial leader who has crossed administration officials in the past and whose record raises doubts about his willingness to take the steps necessary to reform his government.
During weeks of internal deliberations about how to proceed with an increasingly unpopular war, Obama and his senior advisers have waited for the Afghan electorate to determine who will be their next partner in Kabul, even deciding to delay any strategy announcement until after the Nov. 7 runoff vote. Karzai won reelection Monday without a second round after the withdrawal of his chief rival, Abdullah Abdullah, who left the race citing the risk of fraud.
But the decision by Afghanistan's Independent Election Commission to declare Karzai president deprives him of a genuine win at the polls and potentially undermines the Obama administration's goal of building a legitimate government in Kabul, the key to any strategy that emerges from the White House review.
On Monday, Obama called Karzai to congratulate him. "Although the process was messy, I'm pleased to say that the final outcome was determined in accordance with Afghan law," he told reporters at the White House. "But," Obama added, "I emphasized that this has to be a point in time in which we begin to write a new chapter based on improved governance, a much more serious effort to eradicate corruption, joint efforts to accelerate the training of Afghan security forces so that the Afghan people can provide for their own security."
The proposal of Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, includes a request for about 44,000 additional U.S. troops to better protect Afghan population centers from the Taliban.
In his stark 66-page assessment of the war, he wrote that the "center of gravity" of the 100,000 international troops under his command "is the will and ability to provide for the needs of the population 'by, with, and through' the Afghan government."
"A foreign army alone cannot beat an insurgency; the insurgency in Afghanistan requires an Afghan solution," McChrystal wrote. "This is their war and, in the end, ISAF's competency will prove less decisive than GIRoA's." The acronyms stand for the International Security Assistance Force he commands and the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.
The White House is evaluating whether to adopt McChrystal's broad counterinsurgency strategy or a more narrow counterterrorism campaign focused on defeating al-Qaeda, whose leaders and foot soldiers operate in the border areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
A different U.S. president
Since the flawed Aug. 20 vote, the legitimacy of the Afghan government and Karzai's erratic role leading it has played a central part in the discussions, which are expected to continue in coming days when Obama meets for a second time with his Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Obama's senior civilian advisers, including Vice President Biden, are skeptical that Karzai is serious about fighting corruption in his administration or improving the central government's performance sufficiently to win broad support from the Afghan public.
Biden and other administration officials backing the narrower counterterrorism effort have used Karzai's weakness to argue that Obama should not send additional combat forces to Afghanistan. Their plan would maintain the current troop level in the near term, step up the training of Afghan troops, support Pakistan's government in its fight against the Taliban, and attack al-Qaeda operatives in both countries.
Karzai, an elegant and engaging politician who once charmed Washington with his furry hat and cape, grew accustomed to the chummy interactions he had with President George W. Bush during frequent videoconferences and personal visits.
But 10 days before Obama's inauguration, Biden made it clear to Karzai that his interactions with the new president would be very different, telling him he would probably talk to him only "a couple of times a year."
Biden and other Obama advisers believe the relationship that Bush developed with Karzai masked the Afghan leader's flaws and made it difficult to demand accountability. They viewed Karzai as a vacillating leader, and planned to keep him at arm's length until he demonstrated better leadership and addressed the high-level corruption within his government.
Obama's special envoy for Afghanistan, Richard C. Holbrooke, also made little secret in diplomatic circles of his desire to see other candidates emerge to challenge Karzai, which stoked anger in Kabul's presidential palace.
At dinner the day after the Aug. 20 vote, Karzai was exulting in the victory he claimed from early poll results. But Holbrooke refused to endorse Karzai's claim and, presidential aides said, spoke harshly to Karzai and said he believed a runoff would be necessary.
The evening started their relationship on a downward path from which it has not recovered. Holbrooke has not been back since, although he said he expects to visit Kabul within the next few weeks.
Ensuring legitimacy
Senior administration officials were encouraged last month when Karzai agreed to a second round of voting, which he was widely expected to win, letting him continue as the only president Afghanistan has had since the 2001 U.S. invasion toppled the Taliban government. Administration officials said his agreement was important to ensuring the legitimacy of the election process.
But whether Karzai's victory without a final vote undermines his legitimacy will be decided ultimately by the Afghans themselves. The Karzai administration is already seen in Afghanistan as corrupt, and Obama administration officials have sought to identify local leaders who might serve as more effective partners than the central government.
A senior U.S. official involved in Afghanistan policy, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations, said the administration will pursue a "two-pronged" approach to improving the quality of government.
Karzai, the official said, will be urged to embrace a "compact with the Afghan people" that would make explicit commitments about local governance, corruption and other important issues. The official said senior members of Obama's national security team are weighing whether to tie the deployment of some additional troops and development resources to Karzai's progress on the compact.
At the same time, the official said, the U.S. government would seek to bypass Karzai by working more closely with members of his cabinet and by funneling more money to local governors. Karzai has the power to appoint and fire provincial governors, and administration officials worry that he will use the authority to remove local officials deemed effective by the United States to reward campaign supporters.
"Will he, for instance, fire the governor of Helmand and replace him with one of his cronies?" the official said. "How can we urge him from doing that? Those are the questions that will be getting more attention now."

Western Australia To Auction Away Rare Timber
With the concerns about the environment and the modern day need for efficiency, Western Australia's Forest Products Commission has decided to auction off some rare timbers it has managed to stockpile over the past couple of months. The timber being sold has been stated as being very desirable, well fit for purposes such as making timber bar stools and carving.
The FPC made the announcement a few days ago, and are hoping that interested parties, like craftspeople, wood enthusiasts and the like, will not be able to resist attending the auction. The FPC Harvey Mill will be the venue for this event, to be held on May 6, Saturday. The auction will put under the hammer approximately 650 tonnes of timber.
The collection of wood is salvage from several projects like mining, and road construction, that cleared areas of forest in the South West and Goldfield regions in Western Australia, covering a wide list of timber species, including, but not limited to:
|· marri
|· karri
|· jarrah (in logs and slabs)
|· jarrah burls (whole, sliced)
|· blackbutt
|· sheoak
|· tuart
|· woody pear
|· sugar gum (available in kiln dried boards)
|· manna gum (available in kiln dried boards)
· olive
|· poplar
|· box tree
Additionally, there will be a variety timber species found from the Goldfields region also being auctioned off, which includes, but is also not limited to:
|· sandalwood
|· gimlet
|· salmon gum
|· redwood
|· Goldfields blackbutt
|· western myall
Some of the timber will be available for purchase as sawn slabs, and boards. Additionally, certain samples of Goldfields timber have already been processed; cut into the proper sizes for use in furniture, such as timber bar stools, carving, wood turning and the like.
According to the FPC, many of the timbers set to be auctioned off possess very desirable traits for a number of purposes, and are welcoming potential buyers to inspect the product if the wish to do so. Those who are interested may contact the FPC, and visit the samples sometime between 10AM and 3PM on Friday, the 5th of March, at 64 Weir Road, Harvey.

Discuss the impact of climatic conditions on the body's temperature regulation mechanisms and how they affect safe sports participation for athletes competing in the Tour de France.
The Tour De France is a multiple stage bike-riding event competed in France every year. Starting on the 2nd of July at Passage du Gois and finishing at Champs-Elysées on the 24th of July. It consists of 21 daylong stages over a 23-day period. Based on the Tour de France in 2011, the race consisted of 10 flat stages, 6 mountain stages and 4 summits finishes, 3 medium mountain stages, 1 individual time-trial stage and 1 team time-trial stage covering an overall distance of 3,430.5 km's. Athletes competed in temperatures of 5°C to 31°C, and humidity of 20% - 100%. Conditions during Tour de France can change rapidly resulting in athletes to be prepared for thermoregulation demands and to counteract heat loss within hours. These conditions can make it difficult for athletes to aid temperature regulation mechanisms (conduction, convection, evaporation and radiation) thus affecting safe sports participation.
Conduction occurs when the body comes in direct contact with something that is a different temperature to the body. It's worth 3% of the bodies heat loss. During the stage 8 of 2011, the sky is chaotic, storms & showers are unpredictable all day. The contact athletes receive with the rain and the wind in 12°C temperatures can result in a decrease in performance. The body during these conditions will be falling out of the core body temperature, initiating a series of physiological responses to rebalance the core body temperature. Preparing for these conditions is vital in the days leading up to the event. The team leaders will be preparing for these conditions, and will have athletes wearing certain clothing. Athletes will be wearing, gloves, arm warmers, skins, booties and most importantly layers of thin clothing. This clothing needs to be easily removable and still able to keep the athlete warm.
Similarly, convection occurs when a stream of air or water vapor is cooler then the body and comes in contact with the skin. It's worth 12% of the bodies heat loss. During stage 13 of 2011, the Sunday consists of a sunny day but very windy, with wind reaching 70km/h. With wind at that speed athletes can be sorely put out by the strong gusts. The wind at that speed wills more then likely makes competing hard. With no proper preparations for these conditions athletes can be put in dangerous situations, resulting in crashes and body temperature falling out of its core. Athletes can use specific means to setback the chances of these situations. Athletes can wear sunglasses/goggles to stop the wind affecting their vision, arm warmers, leg warmers, gloves, and booties and similarly to conduction it's a necessity to wear layers.
Evaporation occurs in hot conditions involving the body sweating and the sweat being vaporised, thus resulting in the body surface being cooled and the core body temperature being rebalanced. Evaporation makes up for 25% of the bodies heat loss. During stage 10 of the 2011 Tour De France, the temperature peaked at 31°C. These kinds of heat need to be prepared for; athletes need to be ready for these conditions in terms of clothing and fluid intake. Athletes need to be ready to aid the demands of the thermoregulation mechanisms and the core body temperature. A vital part of this is to sustain fluid intake, this means having prior knowledge to the amount of fluid that needs to be taken before the stage. Stage 10 consisted of a medium mountain range and so athletes were prepared to be thermo regulating greater due to this, thus needing more fluid. Clothing that athletes had to wear during these conditions would have been decided prior to the race, it would consist of lightweight helmets, sunglasses to protect eyes from sun, light weight clothing, easily opened clothes to help...

Sticky Accelerator Pedal - How to clean throttle body
I have a Sticky Accelerator Pedal due to a sludged up throttle body. I can tell because it only sticks in the idle position (when in air intake valve is closed). I purchased some Valvoline throttle Body cleaner, but man, that assembly is way under the hood and hard to reach. I don't want to take it off unless I have to. Also, I don't want the sludge to go down into the engine, if I clean it while in place... Has anybody done this before? It happens on the 4.3L & other throttle body engines a lot, due to the PCV valve routing gases into the air intake, and results in the pedal sticking, making the van lurch forward when it finally unsticks under pressure.
7 Answers
Have a dealership do the "Wynn's Fuel Induction Cleaning Service," or similar. It's pretty neat in that they use a special machine to actually run your vehicle off the throttle body cleaner for about an hour or so. The Dodge dealer where I worked offered it and it did a huge difference on vehicles like you are talking about for around $120. Much better than any throttle body cleaner you will spray in yourself. Alternately you can use GM Top End Engine cleaner mixed in with the next few gas tanks and it should clean it up a bit.
Sounds good littlehorn, thanks. To save $, I'm leaning toward removal and wondering if I will have to replace the gasket...
unhook hose on t-body and use a can of carb cleaner have it running and spray while throtleing.
Thanks! Any danger of backfiring thru theTB?
Well, I finally broke down and took off the throttle body (TB)- actually, it was really easy (there is a plastic wingnut at the back of the air cleaner hosing intake on top of the TB; its one of three bolts holding the TB on to the manifold and takes a 7/32 socket). Boy am I glad I took it off! There is absolutely no way I could have given it the cleaning it needed, otherwise. It took quite a lot of tooth brushing with a whole can Valvoline TB Cleaner to remove all the caked on gunk, but afterwards, not only did the accelerator not stick, I gained a lot in MPG & smoothness! I just added a can of B&G'S 44K injector cleaner, and it's a brand new van. J recommend removal & full cleaning -it's a snap!
That sounds like a good idea! I have the same symptoms,
I an now having the same thing... THere is a GM bulitin about it. It gets the code P0121. I have a 2007 Tahoe and this is a regular thing I guess.

Mueller has a conflict of interest and there is a solution.
There is an unexpected concession in this article about global warming, we can only see the abstract but Powerline's Stephen Hayward explains what we cannot see. However, we can see this at the end of the abstract: It is also unlikely that this asymmetry is due to the combined effects of internal variability and a model error in climate sensitivity. We conclude that model overestimation of tropospheric warming in the early twenty-first century is partly due to systematic deficiencies in some of the post-2000 external forcings used in the model simulations.
Posted By Ed Driscoll on Instapundit:THE MEDIA HAVE A BAD CASE OF THE TRUMPS, Andrew Ferguson writes:
The meeting did sound truly appalling, utterly icky. But then I started to think … wait a minute. If the story was that every cabinet member was puckering up for Trump in public, why did the CNN reporter illustrate the point with a quote from Priebus, the chief of staff, who's not a cabinet member? And I thought some more. Most of these cabinet secretaries are pretty self-possessed people, proud of their achievements in life, and cravenly kissing up to a boss, even when he's president of the United States, doesn't fit the profile.
And so I did what I, as a proud consumer of the mainstream liberal press, am not supposed to do. I second-guessed the mainstream liberal press. I watched the video of the cabinet meeting, all twenty-damn-five minutes of it, and I discovered that every story I had read or heard or seen that morning about the cabinet meeting was, as a whole, wrong or misleading, and in many particulars, just wrong. Unexpectedly…

RCMP officers used appropriate force in fatal shooting of masked man in Dawson Creek: report
RCMP officers in Dawson Creek who were involved in a fatal confrontation with a man wearing a mask have been cleared of any wrongdoing.
The Independent Investigations Office says it doesn't believe any officer committed an offence and the case will not be sent on to Crown counsel to consider charges.
The shooting happened in July 2015 when police were called to a hotel where a disguised man refused to drop a knife.
The IIO report issued Wednesday says several people saw him lunging towards Mounties with the switchblade and that the officers acted appropriately in their use of force.
Forty-eight-year-old James McIntyre was killed while wearing a Guy Fawkes mask, the most well-known member of a plot to blow up Britain's parliament in 1605, and the mask that is a symbol for the online hackers' group Anonymous.
McIntyre's death set off a series of threats by the group to escalate online attacks across Canada, and it claimed responsibility for temporarily disrupting the RCMP's main website the day after the shooting.

In Reply to: '91 750 rear seat headrest memory posted by Scott Marzahl on December 25, 1999 at 22:07:59:
There is a memory. It retains the position of the headrest for the last seat user who used the seatbelt with the engine running. The smart box is located under the left rear seat. Without the seatbelt fastened the head rest should be in the retracted position.
I believe the ignition key needs to be in the run position also.
