- Lessons from an introvert who tackled speaking in a big way: Susan Cain, author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, writes in the book about public speaking being her biggest hurdle as an introvert. Later, during her book tour, she went on to give a TED talk about being an introvert--a big turnaround. You'll appreciate her writing about public speaking and her tips and clues about how to find your "sweet spot" as an introverted speaker.
- Take advantage of the introverted edge: The Introvert's Guide to Success in Business and Leadership author Lisa Petrilli has a host of suggestions for ways to take conferences and meetings and other business exchanges and make them more comfortable and effective for introverts. Since we do most of our public speaking at work, it's invaluable. Petrilli's angle: Your introversion is a business advantage, since it will lead you to be more prepared, a better listener and much more.
- Let's face the networking happy hour together: Networking for People Who Hate Networking: A Field Guide for Introverts, the Overwhelmed, and the Underconnected tackles the public speaking situation many introverts dread: Networking events. It's easy to get overwhelmed in a roomful of people, each of whom requires a new introduction and conversation. Here's your life preserver and preparation kit, all in one.
- Tooting your own horn, quietly: Many of my readers have told me they enjoyed Self-Promotion for Introverts: The Quiet Guide to Getting Ahead in part because it helped them steer between the shoals of needing to speak up about their accomplishments and dreading that very thing. A smart guide to making sure you don't miss out on opportunities, even when putting yourself forward is uncomfortable.
- Putting the energy back into interaction: Good energy is key to good speaking and to speaking up, and Energised: An Introvert's Guide to Effective Communication looks at methods of speaking and communication that don't drain introverts' energy--as being around lots of people usually does. It's another effort to put the positive back into what many introverts see as a lose-lose situation.
Inspiration, ideas and information to help women build public speaking content, confidence and credibility. Denise Graveline is a Washington, DC-based speaker coach who has coached nearly 200 TEDMED and TEDx speakers--including one of 2016's most popular TED talks. She also has prepared speakers for presentations, testimony, and keynotes. She offers 1:1 coaching and group workshops in public speaking, presentation and media interview skills to both men and women.

The gathering place
The paint is dry, the murals fawned over and the community is still stoked on the amount of beauty and aloha that was shared during the week of Pow Wow Hawaii 2013. This annual mural festival, which featured more than international 70 artists, hits its apex with a block party at the monthly Honolulu Night Market in Kaka'ako on Saturday, Feb. 16. Oahu's nickname is "The Gathering Place" and Kaka'ako is a fitting setting for Pow Wow Hawaii, says the event's founder and co-leader, Jasper Wong.
"Pow Wow Hawaii is a gathering," Wong explains. "It's a gathering of all these artists to Hawaii to beautify a neighborhood, share their stories, paint and to hang out together. Bringing in this many people from all over the world -- artists, media and locals -- and having them be together in one place for over a week, you can't help but notice that there is something amazing going on in Hawaii. It's making noise and I think it will help [sustain the local community and economy] in the long run."
Walled in: Pow Wow Hawaii 2013
Pow Wow Hawaii 2013
This group mural piece at Pow Wow HQ, also known as Lana Lane, exemplifies the collaboration and aloha of Pow Wow Hawaii, now in its third year on Oahu. The 70 international artists often banded together in smaller groups to work together on some on the 24 Kaka'ako neighborhood walls presented to the festival for beautification. Scroll on to see what transpired.

This year's gathering eclipsed the previous three years' events in terms of community outreach, satellite events, size and scope. Organizers added a music school and Lana Lane Studios to the itinerary for 2013. Despite this exponential growth, however, things went relatively well according to Wong.
"Pow Wow Hawaii 2013 was actually smoother than what I thought it was going to be," he admits. "The murals came out amazing and the art and music school went really well. Pulling together the art and music school was one of the big things ... [T]he team we have did a standup job and we're going to see the fruits of their labor."
The young musicians and block party were entertaining new features, but the Pow Wow Hawaii core is its murals. There were more than 24 different pieces painted around Kaka'ako, differing in size and subject matter. San Jose, Calif.'s Sam Rodriguez, a returning artist, enjoyed the wide range of wall choices.
"My favorite part of Pow Wow Hawaii was painting, because I love to paint," explained Rodriguez, "but what's good is you get to do larger scales because ... over here, they let you choose different spots."
Rodriguez collaborated with his longtime friend and colleague, Orly Locquiao, on a Pow Wow Hawaii 2013 mural. Although both artists have worked closely together for the past four years designing for Cukui Clothing, this event was the first time they painted a piece together.
The opportunity to collaborate and connect with fellow artists and art fans is one of the main draws to Pow Wow Hawaii. For Askew1, a graffiti artist from Auckland, New Zealand, the highlight of his experience was collaborating with artists he looked up to as a kid.
"I grew up really admiring Scien, Klor and Slick," explains Askew1. "I actually jacked my first characters from Slick and other artists from his era, so that was cool. My favorite part of Pow Wow was about the people for me -- going to places and connecting with like-minded people that I haven't encountered before ... [T]hat aspect has been really nice, especially because there has been 50 of us staying in one house. It's a good opportunity to get to know other artists that would normally be in separate hotel rooms or crashing out at different houses."
In addition to connecting with other artists, Pow Wow Hawaii participants also had a chance to experience the aloha spirit firsthand. Jeff Hamada, a painter and one-time snowboard graphic designer from Vancouver, British Columbia, has been coming to Honolulu for this mural festival for the last three years and is always stoked to interact with the locals. This year while he was painting he had an opportunity to feel aloha from a couple of random business-owners in Kaka'ako.
"I think what was cool is the guy that owned a shop near where we were painting would come out, give us water and make sure we were really taken care of," explains Hamada. "Another guy would come bring us sandwiches everyday ... [I]t's amazing how all the artists feel loved on by coming to Hawaii and the community coming up to us, so I almost feel like we get more out of it than the community. I think we're actually more fueled and reenergized from trying to do something for the community."
Not only was Hamada blown away by the giving nature of the Kaka'ako community, but he also is in awe of Honolulu's growth as a hub of modern art. Pow Wow Hawaii is putting Oahu on the map in the art scene, he explains.
"It's crazy to me that when this started, the amount of murals here was a lot smaller than [in] Vancouver, and now, after three years, [Pow Wow Hawaii] eclipses many major cities with the amount of walls that are painted," Hamada says. "To me, it fully represents what is happening in contemporary art and public-art murals. In three years it's pretty mind blowing how Honolulu has become a city that is at the forefront of street art culture, so I think it's something to be really proud of."

A businessman in Thailand crashed his Lamborghini Gallardo into a tree after spinning off a wet road, causing the car to split in two. Miraculously the driver walked away with only minor injuries. The car? Not so much.
According to the Bangkok Post, the driver was traveling at about 93 MPH when he spun his car off the road due to heavy rain. He was surprised to find his car split in half when he stepped out the front half.
This isn't the first time we've seen a Lamborghini split in half here, because this a safety feature engineered into these cars, and because people are constantly crashing them. Just because modern Lamborghinis have all-wheel-drive, it doesn't mean that you're invincible.
Thankfully the car did it's job because the driver was able to walk away, though his pride must surely be shattered.

Biggest "Must Win" Game: After facing adversity for the first time all season, the UVA football team shows some character with a convincing 37-16 road triumph over the Duke Blue Devils Saturday, October 23. The Cavs were embarrassed in a 36-3 trouncing to national powerhouse Florida State the previous weekend, and there were worries the aftershock might carry over to a possible disaster this week when Duke scored an early touchdown. But UVA Halfback Alvin Pearman took control, scampering through an overmatched Blue Devils defense for 223 yards and a touchdown. "We had the loss in the back of our minds all week," center Zac Yabrough told the AP. "We wanted to come back and run the ball and be as physical as we can."
Ugliest Victory: Now with arguably the best team in Central Virginia, Louisa County football coach Mark Fischer has raised the bar as the cold nights of autumn begin settling in. "If we play like this, we're going to be sitting at home at the end of the season, and Monticello's going to wear us out," Fischer told the Daily Progress after his Lions defeated William Monroe 45-20 Friday, October 22. "Maybe we've been reading our own press clippings and thought we were better than we are." Despite improving to 5-1 and a perfect 4-0 in Jefferson District, Louisa will face stiffer competition this week when they travel to Monticello (6-1, 2-1 in the District).
Best of Times at Klöckner: With the football team out of town, UVA fans enjoyed plenty of conference soccer drama at Klöckner Stadium. The No. 8 men (13-2-0) rallied for two goals in the final 3:30 to force overtime with the No. 13 Duke Blue Devils Saturday, October 23. Thrilling shifts of momentum continued into the extra period as Mark Littlefield knocked home the game winner in front of an ecstatic crowd of over 2,500. The 3-2 triumph extends UVA's win streak to eight, while keeping the Cavs a perfect 10-0-0 at home. The No. 4 women (13-2-0) followed suit the following afternoon, turning a scoreless first half into an important 2-0 victory over the No. 24 Clemson Tigers. The win assures the Lady Wahoos of a top-three finish in the extremely competitive ACC conference.
Earliest Signs of Success: With the NBA nearly ready to kick off another season, the rebuilding Washington Wizards show signs of life, posting a 97-85 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats Sunday, October 24. Washington opens the official season November 6 hosting the greatly anticipated Miami Heat and their recently acquired "big man," Shaquille O'Neal.
The Week Ahead:
Friday, October 29 @ 7pm
The road to the Jefferson District title must go through Monticello (6-1, 2-1 in the Jefferson District). Louisa will likely face their toughest test of the season when they meet a determined Mustangs squad looking to hand the Lions their first district loss. Expect another Fall classic with an exciting district championship on the line. Tickets $5.
Saturday, October 30 @ 7pm
The big one may still be a month away, but plenty of bragging rights are still on the line. Follow the red-hot 'Hoos as they take their eight-game winning streak to Blacksburg. Tickets $6 Adults, $4 Youth.
WASHINGTON REDSKINS VS. GREEN BAY PACKERS Sunday, October 31 @ 1pm
After a shaky 1-4 start left them reeling, both the Packers and the Redskins have rejuvenated hopes heading into this weekend's showdown at Fed Ex Field. Green Bay (3-4) has demolished its last two opponents, while Washington (2-4) is fresh off a bye week and a road victory in Chicago. Skins fans are not ready to quit on this season quite yet– this Halloween game is sold out as expected.

An Israeli airstrike hit a crowded Gaza shopping area on Wednesday, killing at least 16 people and wounding more than 150, hours after Israeli tank shells slammed into a UN school sheltering displaced Palestinians, killing 15 people, Gaza health officials said.
The latest deadly strikes came on the heels of an escalation in the embattled coastal territory, with Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers stepping up attacks after more than three weeks of fighting that has killed more than 1,300 Palestinians and more than 50 Israelis.
Gaza health ministry official Ashraf al-Kidra and witnesses said the shopping area was busy because residents, and many who had taken shelter in the area from fighting elsewhere, thought a cease-fire was in place. The Palestinian Red Crescent confirmed the death toll.
The Israeli military had no immediate comment on the strike on the shopping area and said it was investigating the report.
Israel had earlier announced a "humanitarian window" in certain parts of the territory. But it said it would not halt fire in other areas, including in Shijaiyah, where the strike took place. Hamas dismissed the cease-fire, and Gaza militants fired 27 rockets at Israel after it began.

For Eye Care Professionals
Bausch + Lomb Commences Tender Offer of Its 9 ⅞% Senior Notes due 2015 (CUSIP Nos. 071707AN3 and U07190AA6)
ROCHESTER, NY — Bausch & Lomb Incorporated ("Bausch + Lomb"), the global eye health company, announced today the commencement of a tender offer (the "tender offer") to purchase for cash up to $300 million (the "maximum tender amount") of its outstanding 9 ⅞ percent Senior Notes due 2015 (CUSIP Nos. 071707AN3 and U07190AA6) (the "senior notes").
"We are launching this tender offer to take advantage of an opportunity to reduce our overall borrowing rate," said Brian J. Harris, executive vice president and chief financial officer, Bausch + Lomb. "The refinancing and upsizing of our credit agreement in May provided the liquidity to pursue growth opportunities in our business, including the recent acquisition of ISTA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. With that acquisition completed, we determined that the most effective near-term use of the additional liquidity from the soon-to-expire delayed draw term loan portion of the refinancing was to tender for a portion of our senior notes."
The tender offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on August 17, 2012, unless extended or earlier terminated (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the "expiration date"). Holders who validly tender (and do not validly withdraw) their senior notes on or before 5 p.m., New York City time, on August 3, 2012, unless extended or earlier terminated (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the "early tender date") will be eligible to receive a total consideration of $1,041.25 per $1,000 principal amount of senior notes tendered (the "total consideration"). Holders who validly tender their senior notes after the early tender date but on or before the expiration date will be eligible to receive consideration of $1,011.25 per $1,000 principal amount of senior notes tendered, which is equal to the total consideration minus an early tender premium of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of senior notes.
Holders will be eligible to receive accrued and unpaid interest from and including the most recent interest payment date for the senior notes to, but not including, the settlement date for the senior notes they tendered in the tender offer. The payment date for senior notes accepted for purchase will occur promptly after the expiration date, and is expected to be August 20, 2012.
The obligation of Bausch + Lomb to accept for purchase, and to pay for, senior notes validly tendered pursuant to the tender offer is subject to, and conditioned upon, the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions as set forth in the Bausch + Lomb Offer to Purchase dated July 23, 2012, including completion of the drawdown of the delayed draw term loan and other customary conditions.
If holders of senior notes validly tender (and do not validly withdraw), in the aggregate, more than the maximum tender amount, Bausch + Lomb will only accept for purchase an aggregate amount of senior notes equal to the maximum tender amount, and the amount purchased from each holder of senior notes will be prorated accordingly.
Senior notes delivered pursuant to the tender offer may be validly withdrawn at any time on or before 5 p.m., New York City time, on August 3, 2012.
The complete terms and conditions of the tender offer are described in the Bausch + Lomb Offer to Purchase dated July 23, 2012, copies of which may be obtained by contacting Global Bondholder Services Corporation, which is acting as the tender and information agent for the tender offer (the "tender and information agent"), at (866) 470-4500 (toll-free). Bausch + Lomb has engaged Citigroup to serve as dealer manager for the tender offer (the "dealer manager"). Questions regarding the terms of the tender offer may be directed to Citigroup at (800) 558-3745 (toll-free) or (212) 723-6106 (collect).
None of Bausch + Lomb, the dealer manager or the tender and information agent make any recommendation as to whether holders should tender their senior notes pursuant to the tender offer, and no one has been authorized by any of them to make any such recommendation. Holders must make their own decision as to whether to tender senior notes, and, if so, the principal amount of senior notes to tender.
This press release does not constitute an Offer to Purchase or a solicitation of an Offer to Sell our senior notes or other securities, nor shall there be any purchase of senior notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or purchase would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. The tender offer is being made solely by and pursuant to the Bausch + Lomb Offer to Purchase dated July 23, 2012.

EPA's Environmental Education Grants Program (July 24, 4:00-5:00 PM EST)
EPA's Environmental Education Grants Program awards funds to environmental education projects in a variety of settings, including community-based settings with audiences/students of all ages. In 2010, two community-based grants were awarded to two organizations in two very different parts of the country with very different environmental concerns. One of these grants went to the Island Institute in Rockland, ME, for their Energy for ME project in which students, teachers, and families are becoming leaders in the critical local energy debate by learning how to better understand their communities' energy-consumption habits, as well as how to develop effective strategies to increase energy efficiency and renewable energy generation in their community. Another grant was awarded to Watershed Management Group in Tucson, AZ, for their Green Streets - Green Neighborhoods project, which built a base of knowledgeable and motivated citizens, many in underserved neighborhoods, who are now armed with the knowledge and skills to improve environmental conditions by having participated in the design, installation, and maintenance of green infrastructure practices. Join this webinar to learn how these two grantees chose an environmental issue important to the local community and educated residents in those communities to deal with the issue and live more sustainably in their environment.

EPA's Job Training Program Expands to Include Wastewater and Stormwater
EPA is awarding $3 million to 15 grantees through the Environmental Workforce Development and Job Training program. The grants will recruit, train and place unemployed individuals in jobs that address environmental challenges in their communities. Managed by EPA's Office of Brownfields and Land Revitalization, the grant program targets economically disadvantaged neighborhoods where environmental cleanups and jobs are often most needed. With support from EPA's Office of Water, this year's grant program has expanded to include training for wastewater treatment plant operations and stormwater management. Seven of the 15 FY12 grant recipients will emphasize wastewater or stormwater above and beyond the required awareness-level introduction to these topics. Some will offer state certifications in wastewater treatment plant operations. Many of this year's winning grantees are already working with local wastewater utilities or other water sector employers to secure placements for their participants. Historically, approximately 71 percent of program graduates have found employment in environmental fields that serve local communities. For more information, visit: http://www.epa.gov/brownfields/job.htm, or contact: Leon Latino, firstname.lastname@example.com, (202) 564-1997.

Drabkin has forged key relationships, strengthened acquisition process
Drabkin, now deputy chief acquisition officer at the General Services Administration, was assisting the lawyer who was in charge of outsourcing base maintenance. It was his introduction to acquisition and all of its hot-button issues and complexities, including the controversial public-sector vs. private-sector competitions under Office of Management and Budget Circular A-76.
Drabkin left his attorney position at Fort Gordon and was transferred to Germany in February 1983 to conduct post-trial reviews for the Army. However, the position was eliminated by the time he arrived.
"They said to me, 'Welcome to Germany, you're now a contracts lawyer,' " said Drabkin, who added that he was particularly tickled by the unexpected change. The post-trial reviews would have been boring, he said. Instead, "I got to do something different every day," he said.
Drabkin said his most significant work was on the Pentagon Renovation Program as its deputy program manager. After the 2001 terrorist attacks, a woman thanked him for the renovation, which included reinforcing the building's outer walls. The improvements allowed her husband to escape after one of the hijacked airplanes crashed into the Pentagon.
Over the years, Drabkin has become one of the most influential procurement policy officials in the federal government.
Drabkin is a member of numerous councils and committees in government and participates in several government/industry partnerships. In particular, he's one of four members of the Federal Acquisition Regulation Council, which sets policy. In addition to Drabkin, the council's members are Shay Assad, director of Defense procurement and acquisition policy at the Defense Department; William McNally, NASA's assistant administrator for procurement; and Lesley Field, acting administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy. Those four people have a lot of control over the direction that acquisition policy takes.
In recognition of his experience and expertise, Drabkin received the Public Sector Partner award Nov. 4 at the 7th Annual Greater Washington Government Contractor Awards. The awards are given by the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce, the Professional Services Council and Washington Technology.
Drabkin "has long been recognized as one of the leading voices in government for policies and practices that protect the government's interests, enhance communication with the private sector, and both drive and focus on performance," said Stan Soloway, president of the Professional Services Council and a Washington Technology columnist.
He received the award "for his history of commitment to smart business practices and building meaningful partnerships between the public and private sectors," Soloway said.
While stationed in different locations in Europe, Drabkin's father would regularly send him letters. In the envelopes, Drabkin would find the Washington Post's employment ads. Drabkin's father didn't send the ads because he didn't like Drabkin working for the government. The elder Drabkin said he wanted his son closer to home. Drabkin eventually came back to the continental United States, but he never left procurement.
Elliott Branch, who was chairman of the Multiple Award Schedule Advisory Panel, said Drabkin has a broad and deep knowledge of government acquisition, and he can look at issues from a governmentwide perspective.
"And he has a sense of humor," Branch said. "One need only look at the transcript of the panel's meetings."

Riptide Oysters in Westport, Massachusetts
Now this is one place I instantly felt at home. Anywhere near the ocean just feels right to me.
A young couple (on the upper right), Kerian and Kristin, own Riptide Oysters. They started the business without any competition in the immediate area. It's a tough business, working year round through all sorts of New England weather, but I imagine the independence is worth the trade off. On the bottom left is their little girl. Isn't she the cutest thing ever?!!! I could have photographed her all day long!
Kerian was an excellent speaker, giving us all the details of oyster farming and demonstrating where they live and grow
Above: Riptide's boat
Below: a view of some young oysters
I believe they said it takes 2 years for the oysters to fully mature before they can be harvested and sold. Hopefully I'm right on that. It was one of those moments where I really should have taken notes and didn't.
The whole day was overcast but once we arrived by the water the fog was rolling in.
As I said, I really loved this place. It almost pained me to leave because I wanted to walk around and take more pictures, but we had one last place to visit before the long drive home ... a local farm. That will be the last part of the tour. Phew! We packed in a lot of stuff in one day!

SJS's Stats Factory
Providing Flexible Stats for the Inflexible Mind
Statsistics to fit all opinions !
Line up here for your turn !
Read on for more details !
I am offering a unique new service here.
Here is how it works ?
Step 1. Decide which player you hate ? (say Ponting) or which player you love ? (say Afridi)
Step 2. Decide what you want to prove ?
- He is the best in the world (or worse than the worst).
- He is a great player of spin (or cant tell leg break from leg glance)
- He is a destroyer of fast bowling (or has the runs the moment he hears the words chin and music spoken without a gap between them)
- He is the greatest fielder of all time (or he is to Ganguly as Ganguly is to Jonty Rhodes)
Step 3. Contact the undersigned.
Step 4. I will provide you with statistics that will prove whatever you want me to prove.
Why I am the best ?
I know there are others here who do the same but, there is a difference. They have fixed opinions. They are biased. They lack objectivity. Once they decide Ponting is cra* they just stick to that and are incapable of changing that.
I am unbiased.
I can prove, with stats, that Ponting is the greatest AND/OR at the same time that he is is to Walsh as Walsh is Bradman !!
I am totally objective and have no fixed opinions whatsoever. Only flexible statistics !!
Come and get your favourite heroes and villains put in their places with statistics that just cant be disputed.......... except by myself with another set of equally undisputable statistics

|Thai army blimp comes crashing down
|The plan for Thailand's army to have an eye-in-the-sky in the deep South was brought down to earth yesterday. The 350-million baht surveillance airship crash-landed in Pattani province during its first active operation.
The scandal-plagued blimp was to be used to patrol the skies during Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra's visit to the area. It crash-landed at the 15th Infantry Division in Nong Chik district of Pattani. The two military pilots and two technicians who were aboard when the blimp crashed escaped with minor injuries.
Thailand's military purchased this surveillance blimp in 2010 as part of its strategy to restore peace in the three Muslim dominated provinces in the deep South, but it has yet to complete a flight amid widespread criticism it is yet another waste of government funds.

How to Calculate Estate or Trust Income Distribution Deductions (Schedule B)
The Income Distribution Deduction (Schedule B) is unique to trusts and estates. When trusts and estates give income payments to beneficiaries, those payments carry income tax consequences for the trust or estate and for the beneficiaries. The trust or estate receives a deduction, and the beneficiaries must include the amount deducted from the Form 1041 on their individual Form 1040.
Form 1041, Schedule B synthesizes all the important information into the all-important income distribution deduction.
To complete Schedule B, follow these steps (unless the trust or estate is in its final year):
Take the total from line 17 on the front of Form 1041 (line 1).
Add that total to the adjusted tax-exempt interest, which is nothing more than total tax-exempt interest less fiduciary and other fees allocated to it (also known as the contents of line 2).
Enter the net capital gain (flip your tax return to its front, and place the number you see on line 4 onto Schedule B, line 6 on the back).
Subtract that number from your total of Schedule B, lines 1 and 2, to arrive at the distributable net income (DNI), or the total amount that could possibly be taxed to the beneficiary.
If you're preparing the return for an estate or simple trust, you can ignore Schedule B, line 8. If yours is a complex trust and you're either not required to distribute all income or you distributed more than just income, you need to calculate trust accounting income (TAI).
To calculate TAI, add lines 1 through 8 from the front of Form 1041 and the tax-exempt income from line 1 of "Other Information" on the back of Form 1041. Subtract capital gains or losses (line 4, Form 1041) and all fees and expenses that you charged against the income earned in the trust.
Exclude fees and expenses charged against principal (including whatever fees you paid from the capital gains) when calculating TAI. Also, don't allocate any of the income fees you've paid between taxable and tax-exempt income.
On Schedule B, line 11, you put the total amount of distributions made from the estate or trust to beneficiaries during the tax year. These amounts may be mandatory. For example, in the case of a simple trust, all income must be distributed in the tax year that you're preparing the return for.
In this case, one of three scenarios may apply:
If you're required to distribute all, or any part, of the trust's income, place the amount you're required to pay to the beneficiary (even if you didn't actually pay it) on line 9.
Any amounts of income you paid to the beneficiary at your discretion, but that weren't mandated by the trust instrument, belong on line 10.
The total of lines 9 and 10 belongs on line 11.
On line 12, calculate what portion of that total distribution came from tax-exempt income. If you distributed 100 percent of the income, place the number you have on Schedule B, line 2. If you distributed less than 100 percent, calculate the percentage of income you did distribute, and then multiply that percentage by the amount on Schedule B, line 2. Subtract line 12 from line 11 to arrive at line 13, Schedule B.
Now that you've calculated line 13, you need to also arrive at line 14. Just subtract line 2 of Schedule B from line 7 and place your answer on line 14. Compare lines 13 and 14. The smaller of the two is the income distribution deduction. Place your answer on line 15, Schedule B, and then carry the result to line 18 on page 1 of Form 1041.

If you're like us, you might have found yourself thinking halfway through the Jays' thorough thrashing of the Twins that there's no way that the Twins could ever hang in the AL East. And moreover, that you're sick of all this horseshit about how the Twins play the game "the right way." And that right way, so far as we could tell from last year's ALDS, involves running the bases with the wild abandon of chickens escaping from their coop; throwing the ball hither and yon around the park, but to no one in particular; and generally slapping at the ball and hoping for the best.
And all we can say to those stuffed shirt Twins boosters (in the MSM, in particular) is have fun coming up with your excuses for your early exit again this year.

José Bautista's latest bombs haven't shown up on the always entertaining Hit Tracker website, so we don't have the height and distance and angle and speed of last night's homers. (But if you wanna look, check here. BOOM!) We're not sure which we found more impressive: The grand slam moonshot or Bautista's first opposite field dinger for his 54th of the season.
Either way, it will be an immensely satisfying exhibition to dream about as we head into the long off season to come. And it gives us hope that the show will not stop any time soon. Because we're always happiest when our Dinger Monkey dances on command. More dingers, Dinger Monkey!
(And none of this even starts in on Travis Snider's emergence over the past few weeks. Which has been pretty fun to watch. Dingers of C.C. still count, even if they happen to land in September.)

Hey man, we don't wanna bag on Minnesota too much, because we feel a bit of a kinship to them. (Okay, that might be a bit disingenuous. But go with it. We're trying to be nice. And we have a weak spot for Jason Kubel, too...so there's that.)
Anyways, here are some of Minnesota's favourite sons...and since we couldn't find a Replacements song where the embedding was disabled, this isn't a bad second choice.

Lubbock Christian Escapes With 2-1 Win Over Williams Baptist
By Chad Waller, NAIA Director of Communications and Sports Information
Pictures courtesy of www.NAIAPictures.com
COLUMBUS, Ga. – (Box Score) No. 2 seed Lubbock Christian (Texas) made two runs stand up for starting pitcher Courtney McGee in the 2-1 victory against No. 6 Williams Baptist (Ark.) at the 2013 NAIA Softball National Championship final site at the South Commons Softball Complex on Wednesday. McGee has now won all three championship games for the Lady Chaps and lowered her ERA to 1.00 in 21.0 innings pitched.
With the win, Lubbock Christian advances to take on No. 10 Spring Hill (Ala.) at 7 p.m. EDT tonight in the loser's bracket championship. Playing in their first-ever semifinal, the Lady Eagles end their year with a 46-9 record.
"We're just really excited to be where we're at," said Lubbock Christian head coach Darren Hays, whose team hit a school record with its 61st win. "We're really excited to have a chance to play a really good Spring Hill team with a really good pitcher."
McGee got herself out of trouble all day and got some solid defense behind her. She forced Williams Baptist into a 1-for-13 effort on offense with runners in scoring position. The Lady Eagles left the bases loaded in the first and two runners on in the third, fourth and fifth frames.
"The whole key was Courtney McGee pitching really well for us," said Hays. "She had to get out of some fires today, and she did a great job. She gave us a chance to find a way to win."
McGee moved to a perfect 21-0 on the year as she surrendered seven hits and one earned run. She walked four and struck out four.
The Lady Chaps scored both runs in the bottom of the fourth with the aid of faulty Williams Baptist defense. With one out, Stephanie Rendon reached on an error by the shortstop. Pinch-runner Katlin Reed scored on a double by Diana De La Paz. The next batter, McGee, helped her own cause with a single to plate De La Paz. Both runs were unearned.
Williams Baptist fought back in the top of the seventh. With one out, back-to-back singles put runners on for the Nos. 4 and 5 batters. But, Callie Brooks grounded into a fielder's choice for the second out. McGee allowed a run on a wild pitch to make the score 2-1. But the native of Yorba Linda, Calif., got a groundout to end the season for Williams Baptist.
For the Lady Eagles, Karisa Hendrix dropped to 25-7 on the year as she allowed two runs (zero earned) on five hits.
Williams Baptist's Shelby Anderson went 3-for-4 to lead all hitters today. She came into the game 0-for-9 in three previous championship contests.
The championship is a 10-team, double-elimination event hosted by the Columbus Sports Council. This is the 33rd annual championship and takes place in the state of Georgia for the first time in NAIA softball history.

On Friday, March 23, President Barack Obama selected Partners In Health co-founder and Dartmouth College President Dr. Jim Yong Kim as the United States' nominee to be President of the World Bank. If he is elected by the World Bank's Board of Governors in April, Dr. Kim will lead the institution's efforts to reduce poverty and generate sustainable, broad-based growth.
PIH co-founder, medial anthropologist and AAA member, Dr. Paul Farmer applauded the nomination of his long-time colleague and friend. "I can think of no one more able to help families, communities, and entire nations break out of poverty, which is the stated goal of the World Bank," Dr. Farmer said. "Having had the good fortune to train with Jim at Harvard, and to see him work in settings from inner-city Boston to the slums of Peru, from Haiti to Rwanda to the prisons of Siberia, I know that for three decades Jim has committed himself to breaking the cycle of poverty and disease." Read Dr. Farmer's full statement.
Dr. Farmer's enthusiastic endorsement was echoed by President Paul Kagame of Rwanda.
"I was delighted to learn that Jim Kim has been nominated for this post, as he is a true friend of Africa and well known for his decade of work to support us in developing an efficient health system in Rwanda," President Kagame said. "He's not only a physician and a leader who knows what it takes to address poverty, but also a genuinely good person."
Dr. Kim is an infectious disease specialist and medical anthropologist who has been working to serve the poor across the globe for nearly three decades. He and Paul Farmer met as medical students at Harvard and joined with Thomas J. White, Ophelia Dahl, and Todd McCormack in 1987 to found Partners In Health.
Dr. Kim previously served as Chair of the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School and as Chief of the Division of Global Health Equity at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. From 2004 to 2006, he headed the HIV/AIDS Department at the World Health Organization.
Former President Bill Clinton hailed Dr. Kim as "an inspired and outstanding choice to lead the World Bank based on his years of commitment and leadership to development and particularly health care and AIDS treatment across the world."

Saturday Update!
Aladin - Best Film of 2009! (So far!)
My long time Bolly Blogosphere friends know that my tastes and critical tastes rarely line up. The critical consensus puts Aladin at fair to middling – I, on the other hand, think it's the best film I've seen all year. Taking the classic Arabic folk tale of Aladdin and giving it a heavy dose of filmi magic, Aladin is as sharp as it is entertaining. Finally, a film that exceeded my expectations – although I fear it was both too smart and too glitzy for the critics!
The story takes place in a quaint (fictional) mountain village along the Chinese border of India. Aladin (Ritesh Deshmukh) is a college student – and orphan – at the bottom of the social pecking order. The film follows his adventures as he navigates college life, a mysterious jinn named Genius (Amitabh Bachchan), and a suspiciously evil ringmaster named Ringmaster (Sanjay Dutt). Also, there is a beautiful lady involved – played by former Miss Sri Lanka Jaqueline Fernandez.
But what takes Aladin to the next level is a fantastic script by Sujoy Ghosh that layers some interesting meta-narrative on top of that adventure story. Genius – the jinn – acts like Bollywood magic throughout the film. When Genius appears, people sing and dance and act filmi. I don't want to give too much away but the song picturizations for "O Re Saawariya" and (especially) "You May Be" make this explicit. I'll discuss "O Re Saawariya" a little further down so I'll just touch on "You May Be" as an example of what I'm talking about.
(The song promo is here)
"You May Be" has a lovelorn Aladin at a loss to woo the elusive Jasmin – Genius provides the words, dance movements, and music so that he is playback singing for Aladin. Filmi magic at work! The heightened atmosphere taken for granted in so many films is revealed and explored as magic in Aladin.
Who knew Sujoy Ghosh had it in him? Has anyone seen his previous film Home Delivery?
The idea of genie spreading filmi magic throughout the film is simply… Genius!
Still, a good story and clever commentary do not alone a good film make. There are two other key elements to Aladin - characters and actors.
Let's start with Ritesh as the titular Aladin. I've been a big fan of Mr. Ritesh Deshmukh for a long time – ever since Bluffmaster, actually, in which I felt he outshone Abhishek Bachchan by a mile. Aladin as a character is the kind of soft-spoken beta male that would be portrayed by Michael Cera (Superbad) or in an earlier generation perhaps Bud Cort (Harold and Maude) or Sanjeev Kumar. He is totally disconnected from the community. Aladin has no family and no friends - his peers either torment or ignore him. His life is completely lonely. Ritesh knocks it out of the park, making the viewer (aka me) empathize with Aladin rather than pity or disdain him.
The Japanese have a word that I think perfectly describes the type of character that Aladin is - kawaii. It has a complicated meaning, mixing elements of cuteness with a darker twinge of the pitiful and vulnerable. Kawaii is adorable but is unable to defend itself – much like Aladin, who is unable to speak up for himself, unable to fight back, tied by his isolation. Ritesh can do kawaii like nobody's business – he's all big eyes and vulnerable looks. And – this is 100% true – he made me cry at one point. Yes, a children's movie had my eyes tearing up in empathy for Aladin.
Enter the heroine – Jasmin, played by newcomer Jacquine Fernandez. Jasmin is also a newcomer to the college. I'm convinced that Aladin falls for her in large part because she is new and therefore doesn't realize that he is a social pariah. She talks to him like a normal person! Jasmin is everything that Aladin is not – she's confident, physically strong (!), and a desired member of the community.
There are actually two romances in the film – Jasmin/Aladin and the more important romance between the Genius and Aladin.
Don't get me wrong, there is no sexual tension between Genius and Aladin but they do develop a strong bond of… brotherhood, maybe, is the way to describe it. Another thread of the meta-narrative has the film exploring the differences between real and fake romance – which is where "O Re Saawariya" comes in.
I've resisted spoilers but I want to talk about this so…
*spoiler alert*
*spoiler alert*
Last chance to skip to the next section…
Ok, so, Aladin, begin human, finally breaks down and wishes for Jasmin – which obviously completely backfires. Aladin is at a total and absolute low, convinced nobody will ever love him, makes this wish and down the stairs comes Jasmin, all cutesy nicknames and offers of foot rubs. Aladin, to his very big credit, is disgusted by the outcome of his wish.
And I think this is where Aladin just won me over intellectually. While this is a film about the male character's journey, the heroine is treated like a person and not an object. She even rescues him a few times from danger by using her dishoom-dishoom skills. Aladin's disgust with himself for wishing this and with the result of the wish were just perfect. I don't blame him for wishing for Jasmin – who among us hasn't desperately wished for the same thing at some point – but he did the right thing when faced with the mess he had made.
One last spoiler, the biggest moment of the film isn't when big, evil Sanjay Dutt is defeated in some epic dishoom-dishoom with Amitabh Bachchan (yes, you read that right) but when Aladin is FINALLY able to speak up for himself.
*end spoilers*
The Big B as Genius was a delight! He still has that old magic! Genius' bonding with Aladin was too adorable – he does it despite himself. And in the end, the most helpful "magic" that Genius gives him is just the support of a friend.
What about the characters? The world of Aladin is populated with some entertaining folks, including…
* The bully who beats up Aladin all the time – Kasim (Sahil Khan), who kind of looked and acted like Salman Khan.
* The campus acapella group who sings Bollywood oldies – seriously! Put out an album and I will buy it! They were fantastic!
* The campus extras who, for the most part, looked like they might actually come from the India/China border – and kudos to the casting director for that one.
* Sanjay Dutt's gang of hilarious henchmen, who all had special costumes.
* The denizens of the costume ball whose costumes included Uncle Ya from Love Story 2050 and Mehmood in geisha drag from Love in Tokyo.
* Awesome Ratna Pathak (you may know her as the mom from Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na) as a local restaurant owner.
* Guitar frog (that will make sense, I promise.)
* Also, I'm not sure who we have to thank for this but there are definitely some sexy dudes thrown into one of the dance numbers. It's nice to give audiences a break from the bikini babes with some hunky dudes every once in a while.
In short, I was supremely impressed with the whole film – and especially with Ritesh. I mean, I always suspected that he COULD carry a film by himself and now he's proven that he can! The new actress definitely has potential – she's not Ayesha Takia but she does have screen presence and can take a song, which is an important skill.
This will be one I buy on DVD.
I only hope that Aladin finds its audience and doesn't end up a lost gem like Jaan-e-Mann...

Biogeochemical Methods
Biogeochemical methods have been employed at Yellowstone National Park. Image of terraced carbonate architecture at Mammoth Hot Springs (picture taken by Bruce Fouke, 2006).
What is Biogeochemistry?
Biogeochemistry integrates several disciplines, including biology, geology, geography, and chemistry. Biogeochemical studies can be diverse and may include topics such as nutrient cycling, biotic and abiotic weathering processes, carbon cycling, microbiological-macrobiological interactions, among others.
Why Study Biogeochemistry?
The world is complex and Earth systems do not work independently of one another; that is, the biotic world is inherantly tied to the abiotic world. Therefore, a more wholistic understanding of the Earth system can be achieved by integrating biological, geological, and geographic studies, among others.

Never traveled on the Hells Canyon Scenic Byway? Here's a really good taste of what you can experience. The Oregon Department of Transportation film crew came through a little while ago and shot a lot of footage to create this comprehensive video about the Hells Canyon Scenic Byway. What's nice about this particular video is you'll see the byway in all seasons.
It's a little bit lengthy at 8 minutes, but it really takes that long to see the scenery and some of the sights along the way. I'm thrilled they included a scene from the Wallowa Valley Festival of Arts (3:58), our juried fine art show that takes place every first weekend of June here in Joseph Oregon. And there are scenes from Hells Canyon Mule Days (3:04) that takes place every weekend after Labor Day in September in Enterprise Oregon (the weekend after the first Monday of September). You'll even have quick view of one of your Bronze Antler Bed and Breakfast innkeepers in the introduction (0:57)–it's amazing what sorts of things I get roped into doing for our area!
You'll find other posts on our Bronze Antler blog about things you can see along the Hells Canyon Scenic Byway–just look for the "Hells Canyon" (without the quotes) category in the margin around the blog and a list of Hells Canyon-related blog posts will appear. This image is of Harle Butte, one of the historic staffed fire lookouts along the rim of Hells Canyon. It's at the end of a dirt road leading from the byway and a fabulous view (recommended for trucks and other higher clearance vehicles).
Just a reminder: the center section of the Hells Canyon Scenic Byway (Forest Road 39 or the Wallowa Mountain Loop Road) is seasonal–it usually closes in early November and doesn't open again until May or June depending upon snowpack. If you're planning to drive the entire Hells Canyon Scenic Byway, check in with the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest Office at (541) 426-4978 or 426-5546 or by visiting their website
And be sure to call us to see about your Hells Canyon lodging while you're on your trip. Our phone is (541) 432-0230 or visit our website for more information.
See you along the Hells Canyon Scenic Byway!

Gayle's mission, helping people feel good for life," emerged after her battle with cancer in 1991. The next year, Gayle translated her nutrition, educational and culinary expertise into a healthy lifestyle program that has helped thousands of people of all ages since its launch in 1992. While wearing her bedtime coach's hat, Gayle combines her resourcefulness and creativity with her knowledge, experience and expertise ensuring that the healthy lifestyle information she teaches is personally enjoyable and flexible enough to integrate into someone's everyday routine.
As an active Chef before she was a Nutritionist, Gayle created, "Gayle's Miracles," her popular and delicious 30-calorie (1 gram of fat), all-natural chocolate truffles. They are a true testimonial to her belief that healthy living should be delicious!

As a Nutritionist, Wellness Coach, mom, wife, and daughter I take my sleep seriously. I know that I cannot function at a high level with less than 7-8 hours of sleep. I believe that bedtime is just like any other time you are seeking relaxation; in order to get the most out of it, it is helpful to use all the tools you have available and create a ritual.
As the "leader of bedtime rituals for my family," i have introduced music, lighting, and nutritional variations to help us all achieve a better quality of sleep. We eliminate stimulants that might prevent us from falling asleep. To better help my young children, I play the Bedtime Beats CDs nightly in order to help them wind down. We even use them on car trips to help the kids sleep when we are driving at night! As a nutritionist, I am naturally vigilant about my family's "bedtime eats."
We strive to eliminate the foods and pastimes that are overly stimulating and choose to promote the foods that are more easily digested thereby promoting a sense of fatigue.
As your Nutrition and Wellness Bedtime Coach, I will be guiding you through the latest breakthroughs in bedtime nutrition. From my kitchen to yours, I'll offer recipes and easy remedies for sleep and relaxation. My recipes will be tested with care and aimed at your overall wellness.
I will also be providing simple suggestions on "how to" eliminate stimulants (many of which are hidden) and will help you make better food choices that lead to an easier body wind-down at bedtime. You will be surprised to learn how many better food and drink choices are at your fingertips. Together, we can discover all that is new and helpful for you and your family.
