Bertier L. Reed, 87, passed away March 22, 2012, at a local care facility in Brookings.
Bertier was born Aug. 4, 1924, in Grand Rapids, Mich., to Benjamin W. and C. Lenore (Crooks) Krupp.
In 1927, the Krupp family of four, along with six other relatives, traveled to Santa Cruz, Calif., for a year's visit.
They all loved the beauty and weather of the West Coast and California, and never moved back to Michigan.
Bertier married McKinley "Mac" W. Reed July 15, 1940, in Reno, Nev.
Bertier and Mac had three children when Mac was drafted by the U.S. Army in 1943.
Another child was born after his return to Santa Cruz, at the end of World War II.
They loved raising their family of four children in west Santa Cruz, nine blocks from the beaches of the beautiful Monterey Bay and the Pacific Ocean.
Bertier loved to sing and play hymns on her piano, while Mac sang and played his guitar.
Following their retirement in 1976, Mac and Bertier traveled across North America, Canada, and Mexico in their RV.
Then they spent six years of winters in Arizona, and the summers in Oregon. In 1992 they settled in Brookings.
They were married 70 years until death took Mac last year.
Bertier was a Christian from the age of 10, and a member of Garfield Park Christian Church in Santa Cruz.
Survivors include her son Mac Wayne Reed of Ennis, Mont.; daughters Linda L. Vink and her husband Pete of McAllister, Mont.; Donna D. Criswell and her husband Richard of Brookings, and Shirley A.

Oh mon dieu France you have really outdone yourself this week! After leaving the grey stinking rain in the UK to beautiful sunshine and 32˚C in Capbreton on the French coast I found it very hard to leave. It's been an epic week of friends, lots of crazy yummy, anonymous fresh fish…speared out of the sea with a harpoon none the less! Longboarding to the beach, running and trips to chic Biarritz to pootle about looking in all the fabulous shops, eating ice cream, drinking wine and snacking on all the Tapas. Biking out to the lake in Hossegor for oysters and then sampling all the delicious french wines on the bike home….tres bien! It was a super special bunch of girls to get together, 2 of us from New Zealand, 1 from Canada and the rest Switzerland and France with 1 very brave male host. You can imagine the high pitched excited squeals that rung in the air.
One of the oddest things that happened was when we saw two slugs doing the dirty one evening which was probably the weirdest thing I have ever seen, after some googling and intense staring we worked out that they are hermaphrodites and thats why there were two strange wiggly things. (New fact for you all)
This recipe was inspired from the most insanely yummy lunches I had with my Mum just down the road from us in Dorset at The Pythouse, the cutest cafe/restaurant with pick your own vegetables. It's very much the garden to plate concept which is tres cool. The new chef there is also an ex Ottolenghi chef so since he is my favourite chef ever I was dying to go and try his creations. I had a salad very similar to this one but with Kohlrabi, I tried to get hold of some in France but I by accident bought black radish which turned out to be yummy for about 20 seconds then you get hit by a wall of peppery spiciness . So use real kohlrabi or substitute for courgette. I also was excited to use a spirulizer for the first time ever, can't quite believe I don't have one yet, off to amazon immediately to get that sorted.
Serves 6-8 as a side salad or around 4 as a main8 carrots, spiralized 2 courgettes, spiralized 1 handful fresh mint, roughly chopped 1 handful fresh coriander, roughly chopped Juice and zest of 2 limes 1 tsp of sesame oil 1 tsp coconut oil 1 garlic clove, minced on a microplane 1 thumb sized piece of ginger, minced on a microplane 200ml coconut cream…or milk pinch chilli flakes 1 tbsp fish sauce 1 tsp coconut nectar or any other sweetener 3 tbsp toasted sesame seeds 2 tbsp coriander seeds, toasted On a low heat add the sesame oil and coconut oil to a non stick small saucepan, stir in the garlic, ginger and chilli flakes and let it all sizzle for a minute stirring all the time so it doesn't catch. Add in the coconut cream, lime juice and zest, fish sauce, agave and let it simmer and infuse for about 10 minutes, season to taste and then set it aside to cool. Using a spiralizer, spiralize the carrots and courgettes into a big bowl. Add the chopped herbs, coriander seeds, and sesame seeds and dress with the cooled coconut dressing. You will probably need to season it all a bit more with some salt and pepper then serve away. Food photos forced by me and taken by Camilla Rutherford

Albion Tipped At The Wire
ALBION, Mich. - Goalkeeper Kat Dickson tipped a Lindsey Lubanski free kick to the far post with less than 15 seconds left to preserve Hope College's 2-1 victory over Albion College in Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association women's soccer action at Alumni Field.
Lubanski was awarded a free kick from 25 yards out when Morgan Munchez was given a yellow card.
"Lindsey would usually go near post," Albion Coach Eric Scott said. "She went across the goalkeeper's face and Kat made a good save."
Hope held a 2-0 lead as Kristina Bosch and Erin Jipping scored goals a minute apart in the first half.
Albion scored six minutes into the second half as Jessica Bidock accepted a long pass from Lubanski. Bidock got behind the Hope defenders and carried the ball in for her first goal of the season. Bidock finished the contest with four of Albion's eight shots, including two on goal.
"It was good to get a goal in the run of play," Scott said.
Despite a 5-3 edge in shots in the second half, Albion never mounted a serious challenge to score the equalizer until Lubanski's late chance.
"We gave a great effort against one of the top four teams in our league," Scott said. "I can't fault the effort.
"We're on the right path, but we need to get results," the Albion coach added.
Albion will challenge the top team in the MIAA at 12 p.m. Saturday when the side from Alma College visits Alumni Field.

Lovatiesė... kada nors
In this period of my life I am more wishing to do something than I am really doing. My main activities are reading-writting-writting-reading. Also all my collections of materials are at home and I am not going to create a new collection just for eight months. I cannot not do many things. But as I do not have a sewing machine, I promised myself to make a paper piecing quilt for me (when sewing machine is somewhere near, idea of sewing by hand does not look very attractive). So... this is all I did this autumn. Would it be possible to sew main part till Easter? I do not think so. OK, I also knitted short sleeve tunic and hat for myself. But I still do not have mittens (is it the reason why winter is not coming?) and sweater. But I cannot read while knitting mittens. So it looks that I'll finish this quilt at home. And by this time I hope to grow fond of these colours. "My colours" would be some of the ground's palette. But maybe of the darkness I chose these bright ones. Maybe I simply need more colours here.

There's a rumor running rampant in Hollywood that Shay Mitchell is the nicest person in the entertainment industry. "As beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside," people are always telling me. Which, as you know, is saying something. Shay didn't do anything to dispel the rumors when I spoke to her in late December. After 18 solid months of filming, she finally had a holiday, during which she should have been resting, or celebrating, or at least combating her terrible cold. But nope, on her first real vacation since shooting the Pretty Little Liars pilot, she called me up to chat about the mayhem of season 2B, the launch of her new website, and why she thinks landing the role of Emily Fields was meant to be.
AfterEllen.com: This is kind of embarrassing, but I was actually just shouting at you on TV because I'm watching the winter premiere and Oh, my God!
AE: No, seriously. Oh, my God.
AE: We should do this for like an hour. I'll just shout incoherently at you while you affirm my Pretty Little Liars mania.
AE: You're in the greenhouse with "A" and you just went flying over a table with glass shattering everywhere. Was that really you?
AE: I talked to Marlene yesterday and she said season 2B is full-on Badass Emily. Are we going to get to see more?
AE: I'm only going on what I've seen so far in the premiere, but 2B seems creepy as hell.
AE: Marlene told me her sons were on set the final day of filming and the youngest one got so creeped out by A's lair that he had to leave.
AE: Great. I couldn't even walk my dogs outside after the sun went down for like a solid week after the Halloween episode.
AE: Yeah, let's talk about Emily's love life in 2B. Is she going to settle down with Maya or continue to play the field and date every gorgeous girl in the state of Pennsylvania?
AE: You can say it's Maya. I already know it's Maya.

Villager photo by Jefferson Siegel
Sharon Gee, a resident of the Ten Eyck building in the East 30s, rang a bell just like Salvation Army Santa Clauses do during the holidays. However, instead of collecting money, she was calling out, Help! The Salvation Army is going to evict me!
Salvation Army residents pray homes will be saved
By Jefferson Siegel
A protest two weeks ago served to remind New Yorkers that the city is losing affordable housing at an accelerated rate. Six hundred more units of affordable housing will vanish if the Salvation Army empties and sells two of its residential buildings in Manhattan.
The Parkside on Gramercy Park S. and the Ten Eyck in Murray Hill are being systematically emptied in order to facilitate a sale. On its Web site, the Salvation Army claims the eviction process being undertaken is legal. Calling some news reports of the evictions slanted, the Salvation Army maintains:
The sale of these residences will enable us to serve thousands more New Yorkers, in addition to the 600,000 we currently serve each year.
Residents of the two buildings were joined on March 23 by tenant advocates from the Met Council on Housing, lawyers and Assemblymember Richard Gottfried at the early-evening protest outside the Hilton Hotel in Midtown, where the Salvation Army was holding its spring gala with a special guest, former President Bill Clinton.
I think its disingenuous, because they held themselves out as a charity organization, said a Parkside resident who asked that her name not be used. Theyre just taking advantage of the New York real estate market. The woman, who has lived in the building for several years, said no exact sale date was given to tenants until they were served with notices of eviction in January.
Gottfried joined protesters in handing out informational fliers to passersby.
I like the idea of the Salvation Army being well funded, Gottfried said. But they shouldnt do it by destroying affordable housing. Gottfried said a meeting had been scheduled with the Salvation Army to discuss the issue of the sale, but, they cancelled it. Its been pretty frustrating. They said they would only meet with us if we promised to keep everything they said a secret. Gottfried said when he declined those terms, he was told the meeting was off.
Fred Ruth, the Salvation Armys representative to the United Nations, disputed the tenants claims.
Nobodys putting them out, Ruth said before going inside to the gala. They knew two years ago that this residence was going to close. [The tenants] signed a paper saying they understood that the building would be closing in six months and they would have to find a residence somewhere else.
Tenants are being represented pro bono by the firm Phillips Nizer.
Tenants deserve an opportunity to remain in affordable housing in New York City, attorney Marc Landis said as he passed out fliers. To see [the Salvation Army] turn their back on tenants is extremely disappointing. Landis firm joined with Manhattan Legal Services to file a suit in State Supreme Court, asking the court to rule that the Salvation Army is subject to rent-regulation laws, which would prevent the evictions.
Landis said he does not believe the charitable exemption status claimed by the Salvation Army applies to their housing. The suit will be heard April 20. In the interim, Landis said the court has suspended any further eviction proceedings until the case can be heard.
Last year the Salvation Army put another building up for sale. The Chinatown Community Center, a 10-story building at 199 Bowery, was offered at $25 million. Tenant representatives have said the Parkside could sell for $100 million.
The Salvation Army bought the Parkside in 1954 and the Ten Eyck in 1963. They also operate other residences, including the Markle, at 123 W. 13th St. in Greenwich Village, and the Williams, a residence for seniors on West End Ave. on the Upper West Side.

Teams: Air Force (Mountain), Boise State (Mountain), Colorado State (Mountain), Fresno State (West), Hawaii (West), Nevada (West), New Mexico (Mountain), San Diego State (West), San Jose State (West), UNLV (West), Utah State (Mountain), and Wyoming (Mountain)
Best Team: Fresno State
Best Coach: Chris Petersen (Boise State)
Top Players: QB Derek Carr (Fresno State), QB David Fales (San Jose State), RB Kasey Carrier (New Mexico), RB Tim Cornett (UNLV), WR Davante Adams (Fresno State), DE Demarcus Lawrence (Boise State), LB Vince Buhagiar (San Jose State), S Derron Smith (Fresno State)
Top Storyline: Will Mountain West produce a BCS buster in the final year of the current format?
Due to conference realignment, the Mountain West conference is now an odd marriage between the WAC and teams that have been in this conference for years. However, Boise State, Fresno State, San Diego State, San Jose State, and Utah State all could potentially contend for a BCS berth.
The most likely program to make a run at glory, however, is Fresno State. In the first year under Tim DeRuyter, the Bulldogs managed a 9-4 record and return 16 starters from 2012. The headliner, obviously, is senior quarterback Derek Carr, the younger brother of former #1 overall NFL Draft pick David Carr. As a junior, Carr threw for 4104 yards and 37 touchdown passes, and he figures to improve on those figures in 2013. His top target is sophomore sensation Davante Adams who hauled in 1312 yards and 14 touchdowns last season. On the ground, however, the Bulldogs have little returning talent and will rely heavily on a strong line led by senior tackle Austin Wentworth to lead the way. Defensively, the Bulldogs are led by a pair of junior defensive backs in safety Derron Smith (79 tackles and 6 interceptions) and cornerback Sean Alston (51 tackles and 5 interceptions).
Prediction: Fresno State has the look of a BCS buster, but it will not be easy. Power conference foes Rutgers and Colorado are beatable, but division games against San Diego State and San Jose State are both on the road. Additionally, Fresno State plays Boise State on September 20, which makes it possible that they could have to get through the Broncos twice. While this team could be favored in every game, it is hard to imagine them not tripping up once or twice. Still, a 10+ win season is the expectation for the program in 2013.
Much like their fellow Golden State school, the Spartans of San Jose State have plenty of offensive firepower behind the stellar arm of senior quarterback David Fales (4193 yards and 33 touchdowns) and his star senior receiver Noel Grigsby (1307 yards). Also like the Bulldogs, the Spartans may struggle early on in the ground game. However, their defense is bolstered by a pair of senior linebackers in Keith Smith (97 tackles, 2.5 TFLs, and 1 interception) and Vince Buhagiar (89 tackles, 3 sacks, 6.5 TFLs). Like Carr, Fales has the ability to lead this team beyond its strong pool of talent.
Prediction: The Spartans are not quite as good as their rival nor as good as their 11-2 2012 team. They only return 12 starters for first year coach Ron Caragher. Moreover, an early season matchup against Stanford is unlikely to fall into the win column (although the Spartans only lost by 3 last year). The similarities in talent and personnel between the two programs, however, could make the November 29th contest very compelling. A rematch against Utah State, who trounced the Spartans 49-27 last year should also prove a tight contest. Nevertheless, San Jose State could match last season's win total if the ball bounces their way. If they somehow shock Stanford and run the table, they will likely be in a BCS bowl.
No one is arguing that the 2013 rendition of Boise State is nearly as strong as previous years. Despite the fact that the Broncos return only 9 starters, however, one can never count them or coach Chris Petersen out. Senior quarterback Joe Southwick (2730 passing yards) is returning, but the headliner may be junior defensive end Demarcus Lawrence (48 tackles, 9.5 sacks, and 4 TFLs). Junior safety Jeremy Ioane (70 tackles, 2 TFLs, and 3 interceptions) also stands out on a defense that is sure to be disciplined and well-coached. While there are a number of key losses, this is still an experienced roster used to winning and Petersen's system. As a result, the Broncos are the favorite in the West.
Prediction: While Boise State recovers from significant losses on both sides of the ball, they face an unforgiving schedule with games on the road against Washington, Fresno State, Utah State, BYU, and San Diego State looking very difficult. Beyond those games, there are still a number of contests that could conceivably trip up Boise State. The Broncos were 11-2 in 2012, but an eight or nine win year would have to be considered a success.
If Boise State cannot win the West, it will likely be Utah State that halts the Broncos' momentum. If the Aggies can overtake the perennial non-power conference force, it will likely be junior quarterback Chuckie Keeton leading the way. Keeton threw for 3373 yards and ran for another 619 as a sophomore. However, the team loses its leading rusher and Keeton's top five targets from last year have moved on. On the other side of the ball are standout linebackers junior Zach Vigil (105 tackles, 5.5 sacks, and 4 TFLs) and senior Jake Doughty (109 tackles, 1 sack, and 2.5 TFLs). Overall, Matt Wells has 14 starters returning from an 11-2 team and the Aggies could put yet another strong season together in 2013.
Prediction: The Aggies could have some growing pains early in the season, however, the toughest part of the season comes early. Games at Utah, USC, and San Jose State plus home games against BYU and Boise State will be tough. If the Aggies can win two or three of those matchups, they could be well positioned for a late season run. Matching last season's record is unlikely, but eight to nine wins is a reasonable goal. The October 12 contest against Boise State will be critical.
San Diego State has quietly become one of the more underrated programs in the nation, and was an impressive 9-4 in 2012. Fifteen starters return from that team, and Rocky Long hopes to repeat last season's success. For the Aztecs, victories will come via their defense in 2013. Their top four tacklers from last season returns including stellar pass rushing junior linebackers Jake Fely (90 tackles and 7 sacks) and Derek Largent (61 tackles, 6.5 sacks, and 2 interceptions). On offense junior running back Adam Muema will lead the charge after rushing for 1458 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2012.
Prediction: The Aztecs will be a force to be reckoned with in the West division, and they could conceivably win the conference title. However, they do have to go through Fresno State and San Jose State and also draw Boise State from the Mountain division. Out of conference games against Ohio State and Oregon State are also tough matchups. Eight wins would be a reasonable targets for the Aztecs, but they could be a team to watch in 2014.
Former Alabama offensive coordinator Jim McElwain has a quarterback controversy on his hands as sophomore Conner Smith, junior Garrett Grayson, and freshman Nick Stevens are still competing for the starting spot at Colorado State. It is a coin flip for the job, but Nick Stevens may be the most talented of the bunch. Trying to make life easier on the new quarterback will be running backs Chris Nwoke (570 yards) and Donnell Alexander (587 yards). Most significant contributors return for the Rams on defense including leading tackler junior linebacker Aaron Davis (84 tackles and 5 TFLs).
Prediction: McElwain should do well at Colorado State and has 17 returning starters, but it may be a tough year given the schedule which includes an away game against Alabama. Still, I would peg this team for improvement on their 4-8 season with six or seven wins in 2013.
Nevada has had no problem scoring points in recent years, and that is unlikely to change with junior quarterback Cody Fajardo (2786 passing yards, 1121 rushing yards, and 32 total touchdowns) at the helm once again after a stellar 2012. Leading receivers Brandon Wimberly (845 yards) and Richy Turner (752 yards) also return and should assist the Wolfpack in putting up a lot of points. Defensively, first year coach Brian Polian may have some holes to fill.
Prediction: The Wolfpack only return 11 starters from a 7-6 2012 season, and have away games at UCLA, Florida State, Boise State, Fresno State, and Colorado State. They may also be underdogs at home against San Jose State and BYU. A .500 type season will be about as strong as can be expected.
Norm Chow has always been a respected offensive guru, but Hawaii was anything but consistent offensively in his first season in 2012. Chow will look to Ohio State transfer Taylor Graham to bolster that offense. Alongside Graham, there is little else that inspires confidence, and, defensively Tavita Woodard (38 tackles and 5.5 sacks) is perhaps the best player returning from an equally bad unit.
Prediction: This is where the Mountain West gets rough. The Warriors are not the worst team in the conference, but their 3-9 record last season is unlikely to improve in 2013.
It has been a rough stretch for UNLV and fourth year coach Bobby Hauck. If they are going to make a move, however, it will be this year. Nick Sherry, the sophomore quarterback, returns after throwing for 2544 yards in 2012, yet he threw for more interceptions than touchdowns. However, he is not the headliner that running back Tim Cornett (1232 yards) is for the Rebels. Moreover, UNLV returns its top six receivers and four of six of its top tacklers.
Prediciton: UNLV should beat Western Illinois and should be competitive with Central Michigan, New Mexico, Hawaii, and Air Force. Surpassing its 2 win total from 2012 should be possible, but, if they do, it will not be by much. The matchup against the Warriors is particularly compelling, but I give Hawaii the edge due to Chow.
Junior quarterback Brett Smith is the only star returning from the 4-8 Wyoming Cowboys. After throwing for 2837 yards and scoring a total of 33 touchdowns as a sophomore, Smith will be leaned on heavily in 2013. Outside of Smith, however, fifth year coach Dave Christensen has little to hang his hat on despite 14 starters returning. If this team is going to improve, it could be due to the development of sophomore running back D.J. May who ran the ball well in limited opportunities in 2012 and showed some electricity as a return man.
Prediction: Somehow, Wyoming managed to defeat Colorado State, New Mexico, and UNLV en route to a 3-5 conference record. While I see Wyoming as a team that could match their 4-8 overall record with out of conference games including Idaho, Northern Colorado, and Texas State plus a win or two in conference, they will slide back a little within the Mountain West.
If there is a team that can emerge from the back of the pack in the Mountain West, it could be New Mexico. Head coach Bob Davie may be remembered more for his work as a TV analyst and failure as a coach at Notre Dame, but he is a solid coach for the Mountain West. Moreover, he returns one of the conference's best players in senior running back Kasey Carrier (1469 yards rushing). With a player of his caliber, the Lobos could pull some surprises, particularly if running quarterback sophomore Cole Gautsche (222 passing yards and 760 rushing yards) can develop into a more well rounded option at the position. Defensively, New Mexico returns only four starters, but star linebacker Dallas Bollema does return (89 tackles, 1 sack, 5.5 TFL, and 3 interceptions).
Prediction: Outside of Carrier, there is little else to get excited about for the Lobos, and, with only ten returning starters, last year's 4-9 record may be difficult to repeat. However, a star like Carrier can take over games so do not be surprised if the Lobos win one or two that they are not supposed to. Still, a three win season is the most realistic expectation at this point.
It is a little odd placing Air Force, a program that has been consistently solid for a long time, in the back of the back, but it is hard to make a case for them to be much higher in Troy Calhoun's seventh year. Senior wide receiver Ty McArthur (467 rushing yards and 411 receiving yards) is the top offensive returner, and junior safety Christian Spears (91 tackles, 2.5 TFLs, and 1 interception) leads a defensive backfield that should be solid. Still, the Falcons return only ten starters and many of their losses were impact players.
Prediction: Air Force has been a winning program so it would not surprise me if they are able to play above their talent game and defeat some of the lower end competition in the Mountain West. They should win early against Colgate, and they should be competitive against Wyoming, Army, New Mexico, and Colorado State, but I am not sure they will be favored in any of those games. A mid-season game against Navy should prove that the Midshipmen are the class of the military programs this year.

Admittedly we had a slightly modified recipe: 400g of prawns, 3 shallots [spring onions] and 2 tspns of sambal olek instead of 25 chillies, oh and 1 cup of chicken stock. so more of a soup but the basic idea was there and it was great.

Fall 2005, Wednesdays, 7–10 p.m. , September 14– December 7, 2005
This course investigates the special relation of women to several musical folk traditions in the British Isles and North America. We will examine the gendered dimensions of the music—the song texts, the performance styles—as well as the processes of dissemination (collection, literary representation) and issues of historiography to analyze the specific contribution of women to this tradition. In addition to telling stories about women's musical lives, and studying elements of female identity and subjectivity in song texts and music, we will investigate the ways in which women's work and women's cultural roles have affected the folk traditions of these several countries. We will begin with the earliest eighteenth-century collectors of folk music in the British Isles, focus on Anglo-American and African-American repertories, and end with the most recent folk revival of the 1960s.
Ruth Perry is a professor of literature at MIT. Past president of the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies, founding director of the MIT women's studies program as well as the Graduate Consortium in Women's Studies, she has also been a folksinger for most of her life. Her work has been about eighteenth-century English literature and culture and about the effects of gender on the production of art. In addition to five books, she has published essays on canonical figures such as Pope, Sterne, Richardson, Austen, and Hawthorne, as well as contemporary women writers such as Grace Paley and Mary Gordon. Her most recent book is a study of families in eighteenth-century English fiction called Novel Relations: The Transformations of Kinship in England 1748–1818.
Judith Tick is a music historian who specializes in American music and women's history. A Matthews Distinguished University Professor at Northeastern University, she co-edited the pioneering anthology Women Making Music: The Western Art Tradition 1150–1950 (University of Illinois Press, 1986), now regarded as a classic in the field. Other publications include the prize-winning biography, Ruth Crawford Seeger: A Composer's Search for American Music (Oxford University Press, 1997); Aaron Copland's America: A Cultural Perspective (Watson-Guptill, 2000), co-authored with art historian Gail Levin; and the entry "women and music" for the revised New Grove Dictionary of American Music . She currently serves as an associate editor for the scholarly journal Musical Quarterly.

830 CMR 62.5A.2(3) is hereby renumbered to 830 CMR 62.5A.2(4) and further amended by adding new subsection (e) to the definition of " Duty Days.
(4) Definitions.
Duty Days.
(e) Travel days during the season during which a game, practice, team meeting, promotional "caravan," or other similar team event is not held shall be considered in the total duty days spent within and without Massachusetts. Such travel days are not considered part of the duty days spent in Massachusetts, provided however that with respect to a Massachusetts-based professional athletic team, days actually spent traveling to and from Massachusetts are considered duty days spent in Massachusetts regardless of whether a game, practice, team meeting, promotional "caravan," or other similar team event is held on the same day.
830 CMR 62.5A.2(4) is amended by repealing and replacing the definition of Qualified Electing Non-Resident Team Member with the following new definition:
Qualified Electing Non-Resident Team Member, a non-resident team member of a professional athletic team seeking to file a composite return with other team members who meets all of the following criteria: (a) is a non-resident for the entire taxable year; (b) has no other Massachusetts source income, and if married and filing jointly with his or her spouse, whose spouse has no Massachusetts source income; (c) elects to be included in the composite return by signing the statement required under 830 CMR 62.5A.2(7)(a); (d) has not filed a separate return in Massachusetts for the tax year in question; and (e) waives the right to claim deductions, exemptions, and credits allowable under M.G.L. c. 62, §§ 3, 5, and 6.

Such compensation shall include, but is not limited to, salaries, wages, bonuses, and any other type of compensation paid during the taxable year to a member of a professional athletic team for services performed in that year. Effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2003, such compensation shall also include, without limitation, separation, sick or vacation pay, contract or option year buy-out payments, deferred compensation and nonqualified pension income not prevented from state taxation by the laws of the United States, and income from a covenant not to compete.

Example 7: Player E, a member of a professional athletic team, is a non-resident of Massachusetts. E spends duty days in Massachusetts during several seasons over the term of the contract. At the end of the most recent season, E receives a contract buy-out payment from his team. The contract buy-out payment will be apportioned to Massachusetts based upon the number of duty days E spent within Massachusetts rendering services for the team during the term of the contract, vis a vis the total number of duty days spent both within and without Massachusetts during the term of the contract.
830 CMR 62.5A.2(5) is hereby renumbered to 830 CMR 62.5A.2(6).
830 CMR 62.5A.2(6) is hereby renumbered to 830 CMR 62.5A.2(7).
830 CMR 62.5A.2(7) is hereby renumbered to 830 CMR 62.5A.2(8) and is further repealed and replaced with the following:
(8) No Tax Status. Massachusetts law provides that every non-resident, whose Massachusetts gross income (calculated generally as if he or she were a resident) exceeds $8,000 or the personal exemption to which he or she may be entitled, whichever is less, must file a personal income tax return. M.G.L. c. 62C, § 6. If a non-resident team member's income does not exceed the filing threshold, he or she does not owe Massachusetts tax. A non-resident team member will not be accorded no tax status if he or she elects to be included in a composite return.
Example 8: Player X earns $200,000 in income but only 3% of X's duty days were spent within Massachusetts. Thus, Player X has $6,000 in income apportionable to Massachusetts. However, because Player X's Massachusetts gross income (premised on the full amount of his earnings as if X were a Massachusetts resident) exceeds $8,000, X has a Massachusetts filing obligation and must be included in a composite return filed by X's professional athletic team.
