Software Enhancements
CCH Fixed Asset Register
A link to the new fixed Asset Register is now present within Corporation Tax. The asset additions and disposals can be updated directly from the Fixed Asset register into the Additions analysis area of the Tangible fixed Asset note.
The icon located on the new ribbon bar will not be accessible unless your practice is licensed to use the fixed Asset Register. Please contact your Account manager for information.
If your practice has already been licensed then please use the link below to the Fixed Asset Register online help for further details.
Patent Box - stepped calculations
The Patent Box data entry area has been significantly enhanced to include the stepped calculations for both the standard (formulaic) and streaming methods.
The Patent Box claim can be made manually or by completing the information for each step from which the system calculates the relevant IP profits.
If desired, you can suppress the detailed stepped calculation from showing on the tax computation. Additionally, if the details are completed in the steps, for example, to check the result of the calculation, you have the ability to retain the data entered but not use the calculated IP profit figure.
IP losses are recorded in loss memo section of the summary window.
The stepped calculations do not include the changes to the regime which are contained in Finance Bill 2016.
Please refer to Online Help for detailed information on how to use this new functionality.
Land Remediation Tax Credits
The ability to surrender losses arising from Land Remediation expenditure is now incorporated into CCH Corporation Tax.
The Estimated checkbox located on each data entry area within CCH Corporation Tax has been made available. The data navigator will indicate where estimated checkbox has been set and a summary of all areas where this has been used is also available.
Capital Allowances for Mutual Trading entities
The Capital Allowance summary has been updated to incorporate the facility to claim a percentage of the overall Capital Allowances arising for mutual trading entities. Please see the Capital Allowances topic in help for further information.
Tax Journal
This release incorporates the ability to post the Tax Journal as an adjusting journal to CCH Accounts Production.
Research and Development
In response to requests it is now possible to enter the total values of any claims for Research and Development in the summary in addition to entering the claims by a grid.
Deferred Tax module - enhancements
The Deferred Tax module has been enhanced to provide greater automation and analysis.
- Tax rates pre populated based upon the average rate calculated by CCH Corporation Tax for each period
- Ability to override this calculated rate
- Current tax reconciliation - a number of items provide a simple drop down to provide analysis of the total value and hyperlinks to the source of this information
Management Expenses - full disposal of pools
The Main and special Rate pool data entry windows have been updated to include a new check box entitled Full disposal? This will allow for the calculation of balancing allowances that may arise on these pooled assets.
Budget 2016 changes
- Main rate of Corporation Tax for Financial Year 2020
- RPI updated for the months of March through to May 2016
- Loans to Participators - change in tax rate
This release now incorporates the change in the tax rate for loans made to participators on or after 6 April 2016.
We have also implemented changes for the calculation of relief for loans repaid within 9 months from the end of the accounting period. The repayments are offset in priority against loans made in the accounting period on or after 6 April 2016 and then any balance is then offset against loans made before this date.
CCH Corporation tax does not maintain an historical record of the individual loans made to participators together with details of any s455 tax paid to HM Revenue & Customs. Following the change of rate of tax it is not possible to provide an accurate figure of any repayment due to the company. We therefore provide an estimate of the potential tax repayment due to the company based on the original loan attracting a tax rate of 25%.

Divorce is no walk in the park. But if you're considering taking this step in your life, it is essential that you understand the impact of this choice in the event you become incapacitated or lose your life during or after the divorce process.
In most cases, divorce attorneys are not considering this possible reality while handling your end-of-marriage matters, simply because this is not their area of expertise.
This is why it is highly imperative that you make the first move in bringing up the topic, as uncomfortable as it may seem. Look, no one likes to discuss the extreme what-if's – but isn't a little discomfort worth it in the end to have your rights, and family protected?
At Grimaldi Law Firm, we understand that gearing up to go through divorce is exhausting enough, that's why we urge you to consider the following pieces of information to keep in mind:
1. If you've already filed, you should considering limiting the decision making powers your spouse once had. This means, revoking any powers of attorney and health care directives you once trusted your spouse to make. If your marriage is ending, there is likely a loss of trust between two parties, and the last thing you'd want to do is leave your life in their hands should you become ill, incapacitated, or unable to make healthcare decisions for yourself. Execute what we call a "divorce will", which is a "temporary" will that is designed to cover the disposition of your assets in the event of your death during your divorce.
2. One thing you'll want to do as quickly as possible is also update your "temporary" will. During the divorce process and once your divorce is final, you'll want to be setup property for your new reality. Make sure to take this step once all asset divisions have been handled, and you are confident with your new decision.
Of course, the best piece of advice I can give you, is to speak with your divorce attorney about all of this prior to pulling the divorce trigger. Knowledge is power and you'll want to make sure you have as much power as possible before making decisions that can have a lasting effect.
Not quite sure which method of divorcing is the best for you? There are options for this too, depending on what the end of your situation looks like.
1. Conscious Uncoupling
You may have heard this term thrown around in the celebrity divorce world, likely because it's a newer, more modern way of splitting up without the anger and vitriol that divorce is known to bring. With this kind of divorce, you make the decisions that are best for your family, without leaving it in the hands of a judge. Additionally, decisions can sometimes be revisited and reworked at any time in the future. This is also called collaborative divorce.
2. Traditional Litigation
That traditional divorce picture you have in your head of two unhappy people trying desperately to cut ties and each get their way in the process? This is it. A more "fight-oriented" process, this kind of divorce could require years of litigation, and a division of assets based on legal rights, rather than your specific needs and desires. This can also be very costly.
Depending on the attorney you choose, you can also fall somewhere in between. Choose wisely.
And speaking of alimony, also commonly known as spousal support or, depending on the state, spousal maintenance, is financial support paid to the non-income earning spouse during the divorce proceeding and after the judgment.
When it comes to careful and strategic – Grimaldi Law Firm has you covered. We want to sit down with you during this trying time and help you make the best financial decisions for your family as possible.
For the legal and financial guidance before during and after a divorce that works for you, come in to meet with us for a Family Planning Session, if you are not already a client, so you can get clear on what you own, and what would happen to what you own, in the event of your divorce. And, if you are already a client and considering divorce, please contact us so we can help you consider your options and find the right lawyer or lawyers to support your process through the divorce.

Lakeland Tyres Back Armstrong for Ulster(August 07, 2014)
The countdown is on to the start of the Todds Leap Ulster Rally and local talent Jon Armstrong is relishing the opportunity "I haven't competed in a competitive rally for a few months now but hopefully the Ulster Rally will be one to remember". Based in Enniskillen, just a few miles away from Jon's home, the challenging stages will be something to savour "We came so close to creating a shock result last year, having lead the Rally for some time. It wasn't to be though and unfortunately we had to retire".
The state of the art R2 Fiesta is run by the Armstrong Motorsport team and this year the car will be emblazed with Lakeland Tyres logos. "Adrian Frazer and the team at Lakeland have pulled out all the stops to ensure I would have the opportunity to compete. On behalf of the team and of course myself, I would like to sincerely thank them for their ongoing support". Lakeland Tyres are well recognised in the Motorsport world and are also supporting Eugene Donnelly in the WRC Subaru S14 in the event. "I am not sure if the Fiesta will have the power to match the Subaru but we can always try" said a joyful Jon.
We all look forward to a fantastic event and wish Jon every success in his 'home' event. Good luck to the team and we look forward to reporting positive news come Saturday evening.
Remember to keep posted to both Jon's and Lakeland Tyres Facebook pages for up to date news and results.

Drilon to PNP: Prosecute, not defend, cops involved in secret jails
By Hannah Torregoza
Senate minority leader Franklin Drilon urged the Philippine National Police (PNP) leadership to prosecute rather than defend policemen behind the secret jail found inside a police station in Tondo, Manila.
Drilon said police impunity and excesses in the ongoing war on illegal drugs must stop as he called on authorities to swiftly investigate and indict law enforcers responsible for the inhumane treatment of drug suspects which the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) had earlier discovered.
"I condemn this illegal, inhumane and outrageous action committed by some of our policemen," Drilon said in a statement.
"I am alarmed by this culture of impunity among our policemen. Not a single police officer has been held criminally liable in the death of thousands of the casualties of the campaign against drugs," Drilon stressed.
The CHR, on April 27, discovered at least 12 men and women detained illegally in a detainee cell hidden behind a bookshelf at the Manila Police District (MPD) Station 1 formerly headed by Police Superintendent Robert Domingo.

A former justice secretary himself, Drilon said that the MPD's hidden cell violates the Constitution itself, as well as provisions of the Anti-Torture Act of 2009 and the Revised Penal Code.
"There is no doubt about the illegality of this type of detention. This is even enshrined under Section 12 (2), Article III the Constitution, which explicitly prohibits 'secret detention places, solitary, incommunicado, or other similar forms of detention," he said.

The Story
Since I can remember I am enthusiastic about three things: Health, odors and beauty. The desire to live healthy made me an expert in nutritional and somatic questions. Blessed with a sensitive nose I could already smell the pizza place around the corner as a 2 year old. And until today I am still fascinated by the power of scents. And beauty finally does not mean to me superficial beauty that is dictated by fashion trends but rather aesthetic perfection and equilibrium. Different roads I took to dig deep into this matter: working as a curator, urban researcher and yoga teacher.
As it happens I have been on the search for a healthy and working deodorant for decades, a deodorant that does not only prevent undesired odors but also satisfies my three obsessions. There was no way around: I had to invent FINE.
FINE is Italian for "end". And this is exactly what FINE does: it finally puts an end to undesired odors from sweat that are often paired with feeling uncomfortable. And last but not least it ends your search for a clean and efficient deodorant. FINE also means "great" and "beautiful" in English of course. And that is FINE in one word.
It is completely pure and free of aluminum salts, it is even eatable; it smells heavenly, where the smells does not linger to long, so that you can wear your own perfume as well. And of course it looks beautiful in your bathroom!
And the best of all: it does work!

text: After the driest June on record, we're finally starting to see the odd bit of rain. It's been cold enough, but being so dry, it just doesn't seem like a Melbourne winter. The lack of rain is a problem for many, particularly farmers and ski resorts, and the reservoirs aren't getting their usual winter top-up. The past week has been showery, which hasn't done too much to help the situation, but at least it's a start.

Dr Meenakshi Bharath of the SWMRT said there were separate bins to dump plastic covers, bottles, papers, cups and the organic waste such as leaves, branches and leftovers.
Recyclable material will be sent directly to the recycling units while the organic waste will be converted into manure to be used for the Palike's garden.
At the inauguration, BBMP Commissioner Siddaiah commended the SWMRT for its initiative on the garbage segregation which will be taken up across the City.
The Palike launched 14 additional vans for catching dogs. The two dog-catchers will utilise them while catching the dogs in the City, sterilise and vaccinate them before leaving the animals again at the same spot from where they were picked up.
With the arrival of new dog-catching squad, Palike would sterilise at least 70,000 dogs every year.
Despite the opposition by the traders on Avenue Road and Chikpet the Palike has decided to go ahead with its decision to collect tax to augment its revenue.
Siddaiah told the reporters that the tax collection drive will continue and none can be exempted from the taxes. To a query on the action against the officals for failing to collect taxes, Siddaiah said the focus now is on bringing the traders of Chikpet under the tax net.

The Shelter Island Chamber of Commerce has a new voice to spread the word that the Island is a tourism destination. (more…)
The Shelter Island Chamber of Commerce has a new voice to spread the word that the Island is a tourism destination. (more…)
Yes, there will be fireworks this year, scheduled for tonight at 9:15 p.m., launched from a barge anchored off Crescent Beach.
Chamber of Commerce President Art Williams said the event, cancelled last year, will cost in the range of $35,000, but the Chamber has an $18,000 carry over from last year. The Chamber is picking up all expenses.
The largest expenses isthe barge where the fireworks will be launched, costing about $10,000, and the fee to Bay Fireworks of Bethpage, which is running the show, coming in at about $18,000. Then there's expenses for portable toilets at the beach, insurance and other incidentals.
A complicated event to organize, it became even more so, Mr. Williams said, citing coordinating with the LIPA crews digging the cross-bay power cable. Police Chief James Read said the crews will not be working the Saturday of the event.
Also adding to the Chamber's duties is working through increased permitting requirements from various state and federal agencies and increased security concerns since the bombings at the Boston Marathon.
Rain date is Sunday.

Tights-Kushy Foot
I feel very 1920's in this outfit, which is great because I love the fashion! Very Gatsby if I do say so.
I stumbled across these polka dot...um...things on the ground when taking pics and it was the perfect spot for this polka dot outfit!
The hairstyle is one I stole from Zoe Sugg, I admit it! It's in one of her hair tutorial video's and I thought it was so cute! It's like getting a haircut without actually getting a hair cut. All the fun without the commitment. :D
Who's ready for a party at Gatsby's?

The problem with foam
So far in 2018, Anacostia Riverkeeper's Clean Waterways volunteers have removed "8,994 pounds of trash from the Anacostia River and shoreline" including 71 pounds of styrofoam.
APACC member Restore Shepherd Parkway explains more about the styrofoam trash problem and why it's so bad in Nathan Harrington's Foam Ban Blues in Ward 8, republished here:
Since January 1, 2016, it has been illegal in the District of Columbia to sell prepared food in a foam containers. The mayor and Council passed the ban at the urging of environmentalists because foam is bad news for the environment for many reasons.
Your coffee should always be served in a paper cup, and your chicken wings with mumbo sauce in a paper of plastic box. Paper and plastic are recyclable, unlike Styrofoam.
Two and a half years later, the DC Department of Energy an the Environment (DOEE) claims an 85% compliance, but what I've seen suggests that the rate in Ward 8 is much lower.
Foam tends to be slightly cheaper and customers are used to it, so some business owners disregard the law. This foam ends up on our streets and in our streams, where is breaks down into millions of tiny pieces and poisons animals that eat them.
DOEE's enforcement strategy depends mostly on tips from citizens. Carryouts and food trucks are unlikely to be visited by inspectors unless a customer reports their use of foam to DOEE.
This is where you come in. Any time you are given a foam food container, or see someone else leaving a carryout food truck with one, report it to DOEE. Reports can also be made over the phone or online using 311.
Only with active citizen engagement will the foam ban fulfill its intended goal of a cleaner environment.

case studies. You will also get a chance to utilise the case study
writing service that you may get at your convenient time. By the time
you are finishing your master's degree, you will be able to create case
studies to agree or disagree with a theory. The doctoral level will see
you write your case studies, which can become a model for future
All this makes it sound so complicated, but it is not. When deadlines
come into play coupled with all other academic responsibilities and
private life, it becomes a little bit tricky. This is why you ought to
consider case study writers from https://isessay.com/write-my-case-study/
for such an assignment. In such a class assignment, you must cover all
the relevant facts, and most importantly, you have to ensure your data
is correct and factual. Some students run their case studies for years
without the certainty of getting good marks due to poor writing skills.
As such, you have to weight your options accordingly to decide if
writing a case study by yourself is a good idea, or seeking the best
services is a way out. Many online writers can write a professional case
study paper for you. You only need to identify the best Case study writing service provider
who is competent enough to give you what you are looking for. Their
services must be legit because if you are dealing with a postgraduate
case study, you have to be ready to defend it. For the same purpose, it
is advised to trust the best of case study writers.
Sometimes case studies have to be presented at the end of every
semester. During this time, there is so much that a student is dealing
with and finding time to write a perfect paper may be hard. Developing a
good case study may become tricky, which is why you can use online
services to get this one assignment done excellently. In the end, your
grade matters a lot. Learning is about planning and working smart. Be
smart in the way you deal with this kind of an assignment and getting
help is one way.

Am making trouble at work.
Have stuck cute itty bitty little fuzzy chickens to the tops of the monitors that just peak over the top of the counter at perfect reach to really tempt and upset small sick children being totted in to the doctors cause they are sick and miserable.
The adults try to distract and engage the small sick child during the booking in process by pointing out the chicken, if not seen already, and than spending the rest of the time stopping the child from trying to take the chicken and dealing with the resulting tantrum.
Not content with this I have added two little nests with foam easter eggs in the attrium by the concrete bunnies.
Delighted to come to work today to find the nests in disarray and foam eggs scattered with little tooth marks in them.
Foolled the possums too.

Von Ferber demonstrates his new artificial hand, which he can control using sensors within the device.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
More Coverage
The horrors of war have often led to medical benefits in peacetime.
The Civil War spread the use of anesthesia. World War II helped to start the antibiotics revolution.
And now, the Iraq war and its deadly roadside bombs are advancing the development of prosthetics for those who have lost limbs.
So far, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have left roughly 1,000 U.S. soldiers with amputations. The vast majority have lost feet and legs, but about 200 soldiers have lost fingers, hands and arms, said Ryan Blanck, upper-extremity specialist at the U.S. Army's Center for the Intrepid in San Antonio, a $65 million facility dedicated to treatment of amputees and burn victims.
The preponderance of leg injuries in the military is related to the nature of improved explosive devices and the injuries they inflict, but it also echoes figures from civilian life.
There are about 130,000 amputations in the United States each year. More than 80 percent involve legs, feet and toes, mostly from circulation problems caused by diabetes.
Finger, hand and arm amputations largely are the results of accidents, and mostly affect young men like those in the military. In addition, children born without hands or arms need prosthetics, said Dr. Joseph Imbriglia of the Wexford, Pa.-based Hand and UpperEx Center.
The Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts have advanced the science of prosthetics by providing an unfortunate pool of amputees whom the government wants to help, Blanck said. Those young men want prosthetics that will allow them to live full, active lives.
Some upper-extremity amputees want to use their prostheses to lift weights. Some want to do push-ups. And some even want prostheses that will allow them to fire weapons, in hopes of going back to a combat zone.
As a result, he said, many soldiers often use both the older harness-style hook prostheses, which provide greater lifting power and are more durable in outdoor weather, and newer myoelectric ones, which are superior for some fine motor movements and operate from electrical signals emitted by the muscles of the person's remaining limb.
The Center for the Intrepid has also become a natural testing bed for prosthetic prototypes, like the new iLimb artificial hands and arms made by Touch Bionics, of Scotland. The iLimb hands permit six separate movements, one for each digit and another for the wrist, said spokesman Phil Newman.
For soldiers with below-the-elbow amputations, the commercial models of the iLimb use two contact points on the inside of a sleeve that fits over the remaining limb. One permits the user to open the hand, the other to close it.
But the Army is experimenting with models that have four or more contact points to try to improve the user's control over individual digits, Blanck said. The center is also experimenting with new medical procedures, he said.
One of the most intriguing is reinnervation, which implants nerves that used to serve a missing limb in new muscles of the upper arm or chest, and then uses signals from those muscles to control the prosthesis.
The advantage of this technique, which has been used on a handful of patients around the country, is that electrodes placed over the new nerve junctions can pick up several signals at the same time and control different movements simultaneously, such as a person picking up a hat and putting it on his head.
Other experimental devices are partial-hand prosthetics for soldiers who have lost some of their fingers. These can be fit over the remaining hand like a glove. Sensors on the inside then can pick up signals from the muscles to control individual prosthetic fingers.
One other improvement in prosthetic hands is not being driven by the military, said Imbriglia: purely aesthetic hands and fingers that are made to look as lifelike as possible.
One of the leading companies is the Parisian firm of Pillet Hand Prosthetics, he said, which makes periodic visits to different U.S. cities to match people's skin and bone structure to new prosthetics that can be customized right down to the freckles.
Another is Livingskin, a company recently acquired by Touch Bionics, which makes lifelike coverings for prosthetics. It even offers a solution that can be used to mimic tanned skin in the summer.
Aesthetic prostheses are not there to improve their user's function, Newman said, but so that "somebody who wants to go to a wedding can do that and not be noticed."

Four years ago, I did a photo shoot with Ariel, 16 at the time. While she was quite convincing with a variety of arms, she didn't actually know how to use them. We decided to remedy that shortcoming. She was joined by her friend Treasure, and later Amie and our friend Eric, a metro police officer, came by as well.
The rules for successful introductory range trips:
- Safety
- Fun
- Learning
We lucked into fairly decent weather. The first rifle we used as an early 1930s Winchester 60, a single short, manually cocked bolt action similar to Henry Mini Bolt and Crickett. This was an entry level model and not even serial numbered, as there was no legal requirement to do so. We shot it with Aguila Super Colibri 20 grain CB caps ammo at bullseye targets starting unsupported at 3 steps, then from up to 1o yards from kneeling. The goal was to work on the basics with minimal report and recoil.
Once we got that figured out, we switched to a suppressed .22 AR15: a Taccom upper with 1.5x compact ACOG. Originally, it was mounted on a Cav Arms lower, but I tried Tennessee Arms Company lower for the length of pull adjustability. We ended up using several different lengths, so having the tele stock was a definite win.
Turned out that subsonic ammunition wouldn't re-cock the hammer even though it reloaded properly, so switched to CCI Mini Mags and everything was reliable, if slightly noisier, from there on. Mini-Mags are my go-to load for training new shooters with semi-auto guns: they have been consistently reliable and accurate in a variety of rifles and pistols. Ear plugs were plenty to shut out the bullet flight noise. With full power ammo, we did more marksmanship practice, then switched to 3D humanoid targets designed by Tatiana Whitlock, just to put the practice into perspective of possible practical use. I will check performance with standard velocity ammunition: this lower might need a lighter buffer for rimfire shooting.
We practices a little of side-stepping combined with firing, failure to stop drills, then called it a wrap for the first day. Total time at the range: less than two hours. Total amount of ammunition expended: 30 rounds of Super Colibri, 80 rounds of Mini-Mags. One new shooter got the basic training and three current shooters got refreshers. And everyone had much fun. Fun is important. Making the initial learning stages simple and achievable also helps.
Note, that this photo was taken later. For the actual range time, eye protection and long pants were used to avoid mosquito bites and other environmental hazards. In the future, I will most likely use CZ455 rifle with a sling instead of the Winchester 60, just to be able to illustrate hasty sling techniques.

Now, when I put two and two together, I get four. But if you were to believe the Republican Party, you would have to say that two plus two equals three
Send your comments and news tips to email@example.com, to Mr. Boschert at email@example.com or click on the "comments" button at the bottom of the story
By Rocky Boschert
Guest Commentary
On October 25 in the Daily Beast, these facts were written about the Republican Party:
"Companies that received money from the much-reviled federal bailout - also known as Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) - are now giving to the politicians who attacked their rescue. The 23 companies with political action committees that received at least $1 billion in TARP funds gave a total of $1.4 million to candidates in September. These companies include GM, J.P. Morgan, and Citigroup. Despite the fact that only three Republicans voted for the bill in the Senate, most of the money is going to Republican candidates. GM gave $5,000 to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who opposed the bailout of GM and Chrysler. TARP was passed under George W. Bush."
After reading this, I would like to ask the conservative voters out there: "Don't you ever wonder why you have the same economic values as rich people, when your chances of ever being rich are almost zero? I also ask you: "Don't you think that maybe all the TARP hypocrisy of the Republican Party, as described above, may just show that you are a little too easily manipulated by your right wing corporate idols like Steve Forbes, Larry Kudlow, or even Dave Ramsey?
And if you could take a minute to read this Wikipedia definition of what a plutocracy is, does this description of what constitutes a corporate state ring any bells?
"The influence the wealthy minority of the population has over the political arena includes campaign contributions, as well as bribing to achieve corporate objectives (profits) by essentially any form of manipulation of the government. Buyers of media properties shape public perception of political issues (see: fourth estate). We see an explosion of wealthy individuals and organizations exerting financial pressure on governments to pass favorable legislation. Plutocracies permit partisan organizations to raise funds for politicians, and it is well-known that political parties accept significant donations from various individuals (either directly or through corporate or advocacy groups). These donations may be part of a cronyist or patronage system. Some describe these donations as bribes, although legally they are not unless a quid pro quo exists."
Now, when I put two and two together, I get four. But if you were to believe the Republican Party, you would have to say that two plus two equals three. So, I ask: "Why are you conservative voters again falling for the same misinformation and bogus free markets rhetoric put forth by the failed big business Republican Party political machine? Wasn't eight years of Bush/Cheney/Boehner/McConnell enough to show you that the Republican Party is completely void of fresh economic solutions?
And, you, Joe Six Pack. What are the chances of you ever being rich? Yes, almost none. So why are you sacrificing your own financial security – as well as your critical thinking – for the rich Republican (or Democratic) plutocrats who only see your social security and health care premiums as another pool of your money to pilfer, while making you think they are looking out for your family's interests?
And why, Tea Partiers, do you wish to dismantle the few remaining regulatory agencies that provide the anti-monopoly consumer & industrial safety laws and regulations we still need? What about your children and grandchildren? Are they going to have any of your leaders around to help protect them from the corporate criminals like BP, Massey Energy, and some of the Wall Street bankers, who are shaking your hand while they are killing your spouse or poisoning your children?
Local Voters, National Fears
On the national level, Obama has had only two years to try and repair eight years of mostly incompetent Republican leadership. And yes, he clearly has made two big mistakes domestically: One, he focused on health care instead of creating jobs; and second, his inexperience let the Clinton liberal corporatists who control the US Treasury further enrich their crony CEO friends on Wall Street – and so far has changed little of the greedy corrupt culture there.
But after Tuesday, it will be good to have a Republican majority US House of Representatives again. Why? Because maybe then voters with such an unbelievable short term memory will see AGAIN that the Republican Party hasn't changed for the better. In fact, they are worse, i.e., further to the right and even more out of touch with valid solutions.
Thank you, Hays County
As voters, we do the best we can in local elections. I believe the politicians who run for local and state office from Hays County are basically good people. But they have a job to do. And for most of them, their job is not to represent the citizens who voted for them. It is to make money for the people who got them in office – while sacrificing as little of their own integrity and community grace as possible.
At the national level, and to some degree the state level, it no longer matters if you vote Republican, Democrat, or Independent. The big business plutocrats will continue to control the US and state economies until voters see we no longer live in an economic democracy.
Fortunately, voters have more control over our local economy and how our elections affect our personal finances. But I still thank God every day we don't have a Sharon Angle running for office in Hays County.

The German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once said, "He who has a 'why' to live can bear almost any 'how.'" I think there's something to this idea. Life is full of difficulties and hardships. As human beings, we need a compelling "why" to feel energized when we wake up each morning.
The question of "why" gets at the first part of the equation of discovering and living your mission: What is your purpose?
I encourage people to focus more on purpose than passion. A lot of people get caught up in finding their passion, but I think this is a mistake that can lead people off course from discovering and living their mission.
Here's why: Passion involves discovering what you love to do, and it can be a powerful motivator. And yes, there are stories about people pursuing the tasks they enjoy with a singular focus, and it works out. But passion can be tricky. For every success story about someone pursuing their passion, there is another story about passion taking someone off-track. Passion doesn't always lead to meaningful work over the long haul. Passion is powerful, but unpredictable. Like rocket fuel, passion can take you to the moon, or backfire and explode in your face.
Purpose is more measured. It may not bring as much immediate pleasure or enjoyment, but it is more consistent. Purpose can provide a consistent source of meaning and happiness over time. If passion is like rocket fuel, purpose is more like diesel gasoline. It's trustworthy, reliable, and doesn't break down easily.
Purpose is also more other-focused. Passion is often self-focused. What do I love to do? What activities do I enjoy doing? What tasks bring me the most pleasure? These are the questions of passion, and they are focused on the self. Purpose asks a different set of questions. What big problem in the world do I long to solve? What need tugs at my heart and won't let go? What injustice in the world do I long to correct?
Because purpose is other-focused, it is a more reliable source of meaning than passion. Meaning in life often involves a connection with something other than ourselves. It's about connecting our life to some greater task or ongoing mission. It's about connecting with other like-minded folks working in the same direction. It's about connecting with God or whatever we consider sacred.
When working toward discovering your mission in life, start with "why". Focus on finding your purpose, which is other-focused and a reliable source of meaning in life. Don't worry too much about finding your passion, which is more self-focused, and might bring you short-term pleasure at the cost of long-term meaning.

Community Service: The Easiest Way to Mentor Kids, Own Your City, and Feel Good Without Breaking Your Leg
Want a super easy way to feel good, accomplished and have that sense of ownership over your city?
Do community service.
In the past, community service was something people got in lieu of serving jail time. I find that funny, because in our world, community service isn't a punishment, it's a pleasure and so much fun.
A lot of people ask, "Well, what if I don't snowboard, skateboard, or surf... how can I get involved?" Well, you can beautify your community right?
Years ago, in between the skateboarding season, kids would beg for more programming. They wanted to spend so much time with us. In thinking about what we could do, I had a flash of thought of cleaning up parks, gardening, painting murals, and even kids helping other kids.
I was inspired by the Boost Mobile Rock Corps Program years ago which rewarded kids with a free concert ticket for 4 hours of community service.
We called our program Stoked to Serve. We even worked with brands like Vans and Quiksilver to sponsor summer-long community service projects. We've done thousands of hours of park & beach clean ups, gardening projects at domestic violence shelters, made meals for the homeless, painted murals, and even held a field day at an elementary school.
The plus side is that our students get school credit for community service that they can apply to graduation, communities and partners.
This past Earth Day, STOKED held Stoked to Serve projects in both NYC and Los Angeles. In New York, we beautified one of our partner schools, Brooklyn Free School. They're in an old brownstone in Brooklyn. The students, in partnership with our friends at The Bucketboard painted, gardened, and spruced up the old school. In Los Angeles, students cleaned up a stretch of mile along the Los Angeles River with our partners FOLAR.
So who helps the students with their service projects? You! You help them. You don't have to know how to snowboard, skateboard, or surf. You don't have to be perfect. You don't have to be articulate, good looking, super rich or successful. You just have to show up. Be present and stoked to be there.
Stoked to Serve is the gateway program into STOKED. Haven't been around teenagers in a long time? This is the program for you. Want to do something more than shop and brunch on the weekends? This is for you.

We propose a configuration of signal multiplexing with four polarization states, and investigate its transmission performance over single-mode-fiber links. Assisted by coherent detection and digital signal processing (DSP), the demodulation of four-polarization multiplexed (4PM) on-off-keying (OOK) and phase-shift-keying (PSK) signals are achieved. We then discuss the impact of the crosstalk from polarization mode dispersion (PMD) on 4PM systems. The transmission distance is extended from ~50-km to ~80 km by employing feedback-decision-equalizers. We also compare the back-to-back characteristics of the 40-Gbit/s 4PM-OOK system and 40-Gbit/s PDM-QPSK system with the same spectral efficiency. The results show that the performance of 4PM systems is comparable to that of PDM-QPSK systems, which indicates that the proposed scheme is a potentially promising candidate for future optical networks.
