One of the most successful grassroots campaigns during the past year has been the Stop Agenda 21 movement both at the local level and state level. However, we haven't heard as much about Agenda 21 implementation at the national level.
Of course, there were President Bill Clinton's establishment of the President's Council on Sustainable Development by executive order in 1993 and President Obama's "Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance" executive order in 2009. And, many federal agencies have been incorporating sustainability into various aspects of their organizations. Still, virtually all Stop Agenda 21 grassroots activity has been focused on the local and state levels.
The establishment of Clinton's President's Council on Sustainable Development (PCSD) started a pattern of denial by federal government agencies regarding any connection with the United Nations Agenda 21. Even though the PCSD was clearly established in 1993 in support of the UN's Agenda 21 and its Sustainable Development proposals from the UN's '92 Earth Summit in Rio, the PCSD's statements and documents never referred to the UN and Agenda 21. We have evidence that federal officials were taking pains to make the PCSD appear to be completely separate from the UN's Agenda 21 because J. Gary Lawrence, an advisor to the PCSD, said the following in 1998:
Participating in a UN advocated planning process would very likely bring out many of the conspiracy-fixated groups and individuals in our society.... This segment of our society who fear 'one-world government' and a UN invasion of the United States through which our individual freedom would be stripped away would actively work to defeat any elected official who joined 'the conspiracy' by undertaking LA21 [Local Agenda 21]. So, we call our processes something else, such as comprehensive planning, growth management or smart growth.
This helps explain why virtually all federal activities in pursuit of sustainability rarely make any reference to the UN or the UN's Agenda 21, even though these federal activities are very much in sync with the UN's Agenda 21.
Nonetheless, there have been very significant developments regarding sustainability at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) beginning with its 40th anniversary in late 2010. On November 30, 2010, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson stated: "Today I am formally requesting President Cicerone and the National Academies convene a committee of experts to provide to the U.S. EPA an operational framework for sustainability that applies across all of the agency's programs, policies, and actions."
Jackson added: "Today we have a new opportunity in front of us. We have an opportunity to focus on how environmentally protective and sustainable we can be. You see, it's the difference between treating disease and pursuing wellness." The National Academies of Science (NAS) responded with a detailed study, Sustainability and the U.S. EPA (aka the "Green Book"), which cost the EPA $700,000, and which was published in August 2011. The NAS also produced a five-minute video about this project.
Here are some excerpts from the 286-page "Green Book":
• "The [UN's World Commission on Environment and Development] called upon the UN General Assembly to transform its [1987] report into a global action plan for sustainable development. The nations of the world did precisely that at the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development, or 'Earth Summit,' in Rio de Janeiro. These nations, including the United States, endorsed a global sustainable development action plan, known as Agenda 21, and a set of 27 principles for sustainable-development, called the Rio Declaration. Together, these agreements modify the definition of development by adding a third pillar — environmental protection and restoration — to the economic and social pillars of development."
• "First, the committee recommends that EPA formally adopt as its sustainability paradigm the 'Three Pillars' approach of 'Social,' 'Environment,' and 'Economic' dimensions of sustainability."
• "Sustainability impact assessment is used to analyze the probable effects of a particular project or proposal on the social, environmental, and economic pillars of sustainability."
Thus, the "Green Book" acknowledges that the nations of the world, including the United States, "endorsed a global sustainable development action plan, known as Agenda 21" at the '92 Earth Summit in Rio. Next, the NAS committee recommended that "EPA formally adopt as its sustainability paradigm the 'Three Pillars' approach of 'Social,' 'Environment,' and 'Economic' dimensions of sustainability." Which would make the EPA sustainability paradigm exactly in sync with the three pillars of sustainable development agreed upon at the '92 Earth Summit. Finally, the NAS proposed a new tool for EPA, the sustainability impact assessment, that would be "used to analyze the probable effects of a particular project or proposal on the social, environmental, and economic pillars of sustainability."
Therefore, it is apparent that the NAS "Green Book" is positioning the EPA to become the premier federal agency for implementing Agenda 21 in the United States.
EPA spokesman are wary in this highly-charged, election-year political climate about making any definitive statement regarding whether and how soon the EPA would adopt the "Green Book" sustainability methodology. However, it is clear from listening to the audio of the November 30, 2010, meeting where the EPA commissioned the NAS to produce a new "operational framework for sustainability" for the EPA that the EPA sees the "sustainability paradigm" as the future for the agency.
Moreover, just to keep it real for those of us accustomed to the American way of life, here is what Maurice Strong, Secretary-General of the UN Earth Summit in Rio in 1992, said in his opening speech to the attendees: "Current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class — involving high meat intake, the use of fossil fuels, electrical appliances, home and work-place air-conditioning, and suburban housing — are not sustainable." (Emphasis added.)
Based on Strong's remarks, it doesn't take much of an imagination to predict just how much downward pressure on our standard of living would be exerted by a sustainability oriented EPA.
It also doesn't take too much talent at connecting the dots to understand that an EPA based on sustainability, an EPA that wants to pursue wellness, not treat disease, an EPA that wants to use "sustainability impact assessments" to analyze the probable effects of a particular project or proposal on the social, environmental, and economic dimensions of sustainability — that would be an EPA that would aspire to regulate in detail virtually every aspect of our lives, thus completely destroying our freedom and prosperity.
The point of all of the above is that even though the EPA is already guilty of vastly over-regulating us, an EPA based on an operational framework of sustainability would be much worse.
There's currently no legislation in Congress to stop the EPA from implementing the UN Agenda 21 concept of sustainability. Realistically, given the makeup of Congress, there's virtually no chance that a bill could be passed this year to stop EPA implementation of Agenda 21.
However, in light of the rapid growth of the Stop Agenda 21 movement over the past year, and the changes that will occur with the elections in November, Congress could very well be more likely to initiate and pass anti-Agenda 21 legislation in 2013.

"Through the eyes of faith, the starving child, the believer in jail, and the woman without clean water or health care are not issues, but Jesus in disguise. The human and moral costs of the arms trade, international debt, environmental neglect, and ethnic violence are not abstractions, but tests of our faith. Violence in the Holy Land, tribal combat in Africa, religious persecution, and starvation around the world are not just headlines, but a call to action.

The images of entire communities ravaged by Hurricane Sandy are devastating. The powerful winds, rain and flooding pulled faces off buildings, knocked over trees, overturned cars, ripped houses off their foundation and split roads in two. This is all frightening and unsettling to children. How do you talk to kids about Hurricane Sandy without scaring them?
Enter Sesame Street. The children's television network has created a series of informative videos to help children understand Sandy. In the first video, Big Bird, Elmo, Kermit and their friends explain the simple science behind a hurricane and go over the importance of being prepared for a big storm. You also get to see families endure a storm, using flashlights when the lights go out, watching trees in their front yards fall over. In the next four videos, the Sesame Street gang comes together to clean up their community and rebuild Big Bird's nest.
Below is Part I of the 5-part series. Find all five videos on the Sesame Street website.

SILVER SPRING, Md., Jan. 2 (UPI) -- A Maryland 6-year-old was suspended from school for forming the shape of a gun with his hands and saying "pow," a lawyer for his family said.
Robin Ficker said a boy, a student at Roscoe R. Nix Elementary School in Silver Spring, was given a one-day suspension from school with a conference planned for when students returned from winter break for the pretend shooting a week after 20 children and six adults were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., The (Springfield, Va.) Washington Examiner reported Wednesday.
"What they're doing is looking at the worst possible interpretation of a young, naive 6-year-old," Ficker said. "This is a little child who can't form the intent to do anything like that."
Assistant Principal Renee Garraway sent a letter to the boy's parents saying the child had been warned.
"Your son ... was involved in a serious incident," Garraway wrote. "(He) threatened to shoot a student. He was spoken to earlier today about a similar incident."
Ficker said the school has not told the parents what the "similar incident" entailed.
"It just shows the overreaction," the lawyer said.
He said the school should have discussed the issue with the parents before handing down the suspension.
"They could have called the mother in. They didn't do that. They just said, 'You're suspended,'" he said. "Five years from now, when someone in to Montgomery County looks at his permanent record, they're going to see that he threatened to shoot another student."

Purpose of Lesson:
The purpose of this lesson is to emphasize with students that photosynthesis makes food for plants. Many students hold on to the misconception that photosynthesis makes energy. It is a really good idea to make certain before cellular respiration that students have a strong foundation in photosynthesis.
Major Strategies to Watch for:
1) Independent- I pull a small group and work on a scaffolded reading.
2) Collaborative- The students clarify the text together.
Learning Goal: Understand the main idea of photosynthesis.
Opening Question: What does photosynthesis do?
Students record their opening question on their learning goal sheet and are ready to start class 3 min after the bell has rung. I reward students who get started early with ROCK STAR SCIENTIST tickets.
Follow the links to learn more about the beginning of class strategies and ROCK STAR scientist tickets.
The purpose of this section is to introduce the learning of the day and hook the kids' attention.
Today, I start the hook by going back to the photosynthesis equation.
Together we identify the reactants, products, and practice understanding the atomic and molecular symbols.
I ask the students to look at the equation and identify what the purpose of photosynthesis is. We brainstorm some ideas and then set that as the purpose for learning.
The purpose of this section is to let students independently read and learn about photosynthesis from a text.
For this purpose I use a Free Online Textbook by cK-12. I love this site because it allows you to make your own online textbooks and the kids can access the readings and highlight and annotate them online! This is a great saver of paper...if you have access to computers! This cK-12 Photosynthesis article also contains visually interesting pictures and a video as well as an animation!
This is a screencast showing how to use the animation tools on cK-12.
Before my students get started on reading the text, I pull a small group of kids that are going to need some help. This scaffolded reading instruction will allow them to participate in an equal fashion with the other students in the collaborative reading. More information about scaffolded and collaborative reading can be found in my Literacy Framework.
For all students, I review our annotating system.
Most students will do this work independently. Some students will do the work with me in a scaffolded group.
The purpose of this section is for students to read and clarify their take-away together. Before we do that I model our "read to others routine" and make sure that students will be able to work together to clarify a piece of reading. For the focus lesson, I share the process with the students.
1. Get a partner. (My students are already grouped in heterogeneous reading partners)
2. One person reads a small section. The other person listens politely and attentively. I use this anchor chart when we read to others to encourage students to be polite, attentive listeners.
3. When the reader is finished, the listener provides clarification to the reading. He/she states what they think it was mostly about. I use this poster of the word CLARIFY with a magnifying glass to show students that clarify means to look closely and find meaning.
4. The reader agrees or disagrees.
5. Both partners write down their version of the clarification UNDER the reading section.
Once the students understand the process I ask if anyone wants to help me model this to the class. I let the student decide if they are going to model reading out loud or clarifying. Then we go through the process in front of the class. I always make sure to really emphasize the writing process of this reading because that is the part students most often "forget".
Once the students have seen the model they are ready to go. Even the readers that struggle with difficult texts will be able to contribute because they read with me earlier.
The purpose of this section is to re-emphasize the purpose of photosynthesis by showing students a ClassZone animation. I especially like this animation of photosynthesis because it shows how the molecules are broken apart and then put back together. I display the animation on the screen and go through it asking questions like,
This animation is very flexible because it can take a small or large amount of time. In one class I did the animation as the closure because we were running out of time. In another class we were able to spend five minutes on it.
The purpose of this section is to assess students on the basic ideas of photosynthesis. This data will be useful in the days to come when students are transferring and applying information. I use clickers to get immediate results. Similar effects could be had by using Poll Anywhere, or you can just use paper and pencil. This quiz is only four questions because it is meant as a quick piece of formative data.
Closing Statement: "Today we looked at the main idea about photosynthesis which is that photosynthesis makes food for plants. Tomorrow we will do an experiment where we will see how the amount of light determines the amount of products."
Closing Question: "What do you think the BIG idea about photosynthesis is? What would you tweet about photosynthesis?"
Closure depends greatly on timing and is not as easy to plan in advance as opening. You can find more information about how I manage closure here.

Post subject: Capo Mod 4 Family Honor
Mod Description
The Story:
Takes place right after the country side mission when the whole family is still iintact and the war is raging with Morello, it seems Morello has an in with one of Saliery's family members and Tommy is going to have to find out who and take care of it. You will have to play the freeride game a whole and amass some money before the traitor is reveled
Places to visit, things to do
Barn (Night Countryside)
Racetrack Night
Airport (Night Countryside)
Corelone Hotel
Lost Heaven Queen
Saliery's day and Night
Stage Bottle Bar Central Island
Importing Warehouse - Works Quarters
Tommy's Home - Little Italy
Sams Hotel = Downtown
Motel - Countryside
Paulie in His Apartment
Take a Ride on the Queen
Pepe's Resturant/Capo Office and HQ (Day and Night)
Road House Countryside Day and Night
Gang members actively hunting Tommy
Ten contract hits, in the city and countryside, both day and night
(See Tony at your bar for more info)
Side Missions At:
The Dock
The Bank
The Airport
The Barn
The Hotel (just for fun?)
Barn Night - Kill the guy
Bank Day - gang in the vaults
Kill The rat at the Dock - Daytime Docks
Sniper Kill Airport - Night time Countryside
Morello's Numbers Office -Central Island
Night Time RaceTrack
Villa Kill Sergio Morello Day
Police Chase starts in works quarters
As Capo Tom has the following duties
Collect the protection fees for each area in town (A man is located at each Elevated train Station)
Collect Racket Fees For
Transportation and Cigars (In the Central Island Garage)
Smuggling (In the Port)
Front Fees (in Pepes Restaurant)
Numbers (In Office Connected to Pepes and Freeride)
Loan Fees (In the Bank (and a little sugar in the vault))
Bootleg Fees (In The Ale Warehouse)
Bootleg Fees (In The Barn) (new)
The East Side Racket Fees (In Clarks Motel which is your east side compound.)
All of these Collection points are pretty mild, there are no fights here, (except for the port mission. If you enter the port mission with a gun drawn things will go badly.) Look for the Valise(s) in each location to collect the money
Entrances to all these places are at the normal front door locations. There are two new entrance locations. The office can be entered by the stairway door across from the New Ark Warp Booth The office can also be entered by the double doors by the bar in Pepes. The ale warehouse is in the building opposite the driveway from the works quarters warp booth.
Keep the peace and knock down uprising gangs
Warp Points
There is a warp point in each section of the city. The warp points are in selected phone booths except for Hoboken which is in the hideout (check out the back blue door) and in Salierys Garage, the double doors in the back.
From any warp point in the city it will take you to Central Island. From Central Island warp point you can choose to go to any other warp pint
There are five gangs that keep gathering in the east side of Lost Heaven (Morellos old turf) it is your job as capo to knock these down. Every time you load a side mission and return to Freeride they will be regenerated.
The street walking gang members are still around .but what kind of control would Saliery have if they drove around town with impunity. The gangsters in cars are gone (well mostly, you might still find a few brave mugs driving around)
Body Guards
There are five body guards at Salierys place who will follow you, when you click on them and will fight and protect you. They also regenerate on loads, and when you enter a side mission they leave you and return to Salierys
Weapons are free both at your hideout and at Salierys save your money for that Ten Million. The Tommy Gun (which you start with) is now one handed and very powerful .it also does not trigger the cops unless you fire it. You can walk around with it drawn.
The Objective (f1) Key
Building off a previous mod turbo mod by askay, the f1 key now heals you to 300 points, automatically saves your game and if you are in a car it will repair it automatically. Also the repair feature includes an instant stop which can act as an emergency break ..can you say light house (watchout for the gang there.)
Use data xtractor to extract all your files (if you have not done so.
Delete the following files from your missions folder (or copy then delete)
Copy all the mission folders from the download to your missions file
Copy all the maps from the download to your maps file
Copy all the sounds from the download to the sounds file
Copy all the tables from the download to all the tables file
The maps are included for reference only and do not get put in the game.
Notice for slower computer users. Copy the scene2.bin file from the mission file freeridenoudd to your Freeride folder if you have problems with the UDD feature slowing down your game.

inheritance tax(redirected from Inheriance tax)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Legal, Encyclopedia.
Related to Inheriance tax: estate tax, gift tax, capital gains tax
Inheritance Tax
A tax on the money or assets that one inherits from an estate, as opposed to a tax on the estate itself. In the United States, inheritance taxes are levied at the state level and apply to the inheritors rather than the estate of the deceased. Generally speaking, inheritance taxes vary according to the inheritor's relationship with the deceased. For example, a spouse rarely, if ever, is responsible for an inheritance tax. It should not be confused with an estate tax, which is a tax on the estate before it is distributed.

How can I minimize inheritance tax?
A state tax levied on the recipient of an estate rather than on the estate itself. The tax varies by state and its severity in a given state usually depends on the kinship between the deceased and the heir. Some states levy a tax on the estate instead of a tax on the amount inherited. Also called death tax. Compare estate tax.
Estate and gift tax law is in a state of flux. An estate planning attorney will have the most up-to-date information available to assist you in minimizing your tax liability. Avoiding probate should also be a goal. Joint ownership, revocable living trust, irrevocable trusts, and life insurance may be useful tools to avoid or eliminate the estate tax and costs of probate, but only an experienced estate planning attorney can help you decide which of these tools will suit your needs best.Gloria Cole, Attorney, private practice, Weston, MA
inheritance taxa form of WEALTH TAX imposed by the UK government on a proportion of a person's private assets when these assets are transferred to the person's beneficiaries. Currently (as at 2005/06) 'chargeable assets' such as houses, stocks and shares, etc. up to a maximum of £275,000 are tax-exempt. Above £275,000 inheritance tax is levied at a flat rate of 40%. Assets transferred more than seven years before the donor's death are exempt from inheritance tax, while assets transferred between three and seven years before death are taxed at lower rates.
Inheritance tax superseded earlier UK arrangements for taxing wealth, including estate duty or death duty and capital transfer tax.

The father of a young New Jersey boy who fatally shot his 6-year-old playmate has been indicted on six counts of child endangerment.
An Ocean County grand jury returned the indictment against Anthony Senatore of Toms River on Wednesday.
Authorities say the 33-year-old Senatore had multiple unsecured weapons in his home. They say his 4-year-old son got a .22-caliber rifle and fired a single shot that struck his 6-year-old neighbor, Brandon Holt, in the head, on April 8.
U.S. & World
Holt died the next day.
Senatore was arrested several weeks after the shooting, following a lengthy investigation, and was later freed on $100,000 bail.
His lawyer, Robert Ebberup, did not immediately return a call seeking comment Wednesday afternoon but has said in the past that his client is a devoted husband and father with strong roots in the community and that he's deeply sorrowed by Holt's death.
Senatore faces five counts of second-degree child endangerment — one for each of the five unsecured firearms investigators say they found accessible to his own children, ages 12, 8 and 4. He also was charged with a third-degree count of child endangerment for endangering Holt, for keeping the loaded .22-caliber rifle unsecured in a bedroom where his 4-year-old son was able to access and fire the weapon.
Senatore also faces a disorderly person offense for enabling access by minors to a loaded weapon.
Authorities say that besides the rifle used to fire the fatal shot, two 12-gauge shotguns and two other shotguns were all found unsecured, in close proximity to ammunition and accessible to Senatore's children.
Holt's grandmother told NBC 4 New York after the shooting she was angry the family failed to take adequate care to lock up their guns.
The Holt family has since filed a lawsuit against the Senatores.
Although the shooting occurred in Ocean County, Atlantic County is handling the matter because Senatore has relatives who have worked in law enforcement in Ocean County.

December is upon us and that means 5 more days until CIM. 5 more days till I can SLEEP! I am so shocked that it's already December though. Where did this year go? I can't wait to do a year recap post, or goals for next year. My mind is already spinning!
So I feel like a complete tool for posting this, but I was featured in a magazine, Los Angeles Sports and Fitness about my blog this month. I've had some requests to read the article and see it close up so with a little help from some technical people, your wish is my command. :)
Click Here to Read the Article. It's a PDF so it will open on your computer.
This morning I got up early and went for a three mile run. Still very tired, but seeing the movie The Blind Side last night didn't help. It was such a great movie though and I'm really glad I went to see it. Sandra Bullock is amazing in it and the story is obviously really great. I didn't cry as much as I thought I would, usually I'm a waterfall in ANY movie, so I though this one would get the tears going, but I did cry at the end. I really recommend it.
It's so weird how last month I could easily run 6-8 miles before work anytime and now I'm really struggling with the shorter distances. I'm not really even in taper since I haven't really even been in training. Using Malibu as a long run between CIM and Long Beach was a good idea, but man, that course really beat up my body. Well I guess running three marathons in three months is pretty much going to beat you up. I can't even imagine how some people do more than three in three months, or run one every weekend. That's so insane.
So before I leave for CIM on Friday night, I have a giveaway and also a goals post! The goals are basically not to die. Come on legs, start feeling better. PLEASE.

canine hypothyroidism, chewing, drugs, enrofloxacin, fur, hair loss, licking
For reference —
Left, taken 27 August 2010; Right, taken 5 September 2010
The waft of stench emanating from Bowdu's pink and gray tummy is gone. Hair is quickly growing back on that stripe down the middle of his belly.
These and the following photos all from 5 September 2010
His armpits are still really black, but the previously bald spots right at the crux between his leg and his chest now have fine, downy chick fur. And you can see that the fur on his legs is a little more even now (this is part of his natural fur shedding cycle and our regular grooming). The fur around his neck is really tamped down and stiff, due to the cone. I try to take it off and brush the fur loose whenever I can…
But without his cone, he still scratches and chews.
That front left dewclaw is still a bother.
If I block him with my own hand, he'll lick me instead of himself. It almost seems like the urge is more psychological than physical, since he doesn't act upset when this privilege is restricted by the cone. He's quite content to lick my hand for the sake of satisfying some oral fixation. But I can't always be there as a human pacifier, so back in the cone he goes.
Really hoping to see him out of the cone by the end of the month. His antibiotics (Enrofloxacin) run out in two days, so we've got to be absolutely vigilant about not setting him back with renewed infections.

The Franck lab is not accepting applications for research positions.
A.B.:Amherst College, M.S.: University of Wisconsin, Ph.D.: Stanford University, Postdoc: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Research Summary:
The last challenge in our lab before it shut down in January 2007 was the synthesis of the C-glycoside (C-galcer) analog of a powerful immunostimulant O- glycoside (O-galcer), originally found in a sponge off the coast of Okinawa, shown below. The "replacement" of the -O-link most commonly found in glycosides by -C- is a popular idea because the -C- material would not be vulnerable to cleavage by enzymes called glycosidases which are ubiquitous in living systems. The corollary to the increased stability of C- compared to O-glycosides is that the Lewis base/ hydrogen-bond accepting character of the natural oxygen is now replaced by a non-polar, hydrophobic CH2.
We were successful in the preparation of C-galcer, and with our principal collaborator, Dr. Moriya Tsuji (ADARC) have shown that the C-glycoside is a far superior immunostimulant than the parent O-glycoside. Recent papers from other groups throughout the world have confirmed this powerful activity. Compounds of this class of C-glycosides are now in the early stages commercial development.

NAA Life is the #1 provider of mortgage protection insurance in the U.S. and offers a variety of products to fit any budget and meet the changing needs of America's families. The NAA family of products includes mortgage protection, life insurance, disability insurance and annuities.
Mortgage Protection Insurance
For most American families, the mortgage represents the largest source of personal debt, a debt that can easily default in the event of the primary breadwinner's death. NAA®'s premier product, mortgage protection insurance, is a specialized form of life insurance designed to pay off the mortgage if that should occur, so that families can keep their homes no matter what.
Index Universal Life
Indexed Universal Life Insurance provides peace of mind to the family by providing life insurance and by gaining extra cash for additional needs that may arise. Indexed Universal Life Insurance covers your family and presents the opportunity for income stream, estate planning and permanent life insurance.
Final Expense
Final Expense Insurance allows the family to feel secure knowing that the funeral and burial costs and arrangements are already taken care of should a loved one pass away. With this peace of mind, the family will have the flexibility and freedom to pay off the final expenses of a loved one.
Retirement income is no longer as certain as it once was. It's becoming increasingly important to have a sound financial plan in place. With an annuity, you can guarantee income for the rest of your life and enjoy your golden years without worrying about the finances or burdening your family.
Term Life Insurance
Death is an emotional time for a family. In addition to bereavement, there is also the loss of income and the looming threat of unpaid bills. Term life insurance pays families a cash benefit if death should occur, easing their financial burden during a difficult transition.
Disability Insurance
Death isn't the only thing that threatens a household. Disability can just as easily cripple a family's ability to make mortgage payments. Mortgage disability insurance protects against this, ensuring payments are made regardless of the insured's health or ability to draw income.

Snow Farm Handed To Community
Press Release – Queenstown Lakes District Council
A small but significant ceremony took place at 5000 feet above sea level today to mark the handing over of New Zealand's only dedicated cross country ski are to the community, Queenstown Lakes District Council community general manager Paul Wilson …30 November 2012
Snow Farm Handed To Community
A small but significant ceremony took place at 5000 feet above sea level today to mark the handing over of New Zealand's only dedicated cross country ski are to the community, Queenstown Lakes District Council community general manager Paul Wilson said.
In the presence of a handful of dignitaries the Deed of Settlement for the Snow Farm, situated high above the Cardrona Valley, Wanaka was placed in the hands of QLDC Mayor Vanessa van Uden. Present to witness the occasion were MP Jacqui Deans, members of the Pisa Alpine Charitable Trust, representatives from the Central Lakes and Otago Community Trusts, cross country skiing and biathlon athletes and the Lee family.
"The Snow Farm was conceived and developed by John and Mary Lee in 1990, and the land and cross country ski field and associated winter sports business has been owned and operated by them until this last season," Mr Wilson said. He described the Lees as visionaries and long term entrepreneurs in the ski industry. "Having semi – retired from Merino sheep farming they have so far developed three ski fields as well as the Southern Hemisphere Proving Ground (motor vehicle testing)," Mr Wilson said.
The Lees were very keen to see the development of the field continue as they moved into retirement. "Their view was that the field should be in community ownership and so it was sold to the charitable trust to be handed back to the community," Mr Wilson said.
The Deed of Settlement ensured the ownership of the Snow Farm land passed to QLDC to be held in perpetuity as a recreational reserve. "The trust will then lease back the land, manage and maintain the proposed reserve, and operate the Snow Farm business for the long term benefit of the community," Mr Wilson said.
This purchase also resolved any risk to the future for the winter sports that used the facility and ensured that a key element of the 100% Pure New Zealand Winter Games was firmly secured.
Funding for the land purchase was achieved with cornerstone funding from the Queenstown Lakes District Council, matching support from the Central Lakes Trust, and major contributions from the New Zealand Lotteries Grants Board Community Facilities Fund, and the Community Trust of Otago.
"The Lee family have also assisted with the finance for the purchase of the business assets on generous terms," Mr Wilson said.
Mr Wilson said Council acknowledged the efforts of the trust led by its chairman Tom Pryde in conjunction with the support that the trust and QLDC received from Sir Eion Edgar as chairman of the 100% Pure New Zealand Winter Games, and the assistance given by the two local Members of Parliament, the Rt. Hon. Bill English and Jacqui Dean.

Tax structure encourages getting wasted
There's no end to speculation as to how the consumption tax increase in April will affect the country, socially as well as economically. Last week, Tokyo Shimbun published a conversation between a college professor and one of its reporters about the effect on beer prices and, in turn, beer consumption, which last year declined for the ninth year in a row.
When the reporter asks the professor about this effect the professor feigns amazement that the reporter, who specializes in tax matters, didn't know that "42 percent of the price you pay for your beer is already tax." He goes on to explain that the beer tax is a holdover from the 19th century, when beer was considered a luxury item. Since then it's become much more the drink of common people thanks to improved and cheaper refrigeration, but the government liked the revenues too much and maintained the tax structure for beer. To the professor's thinking, the tax should be pegged to alcoholic content, and since beer's is relatively low the tax should also be lower than it is for other alcoholic beverages.
It's easy to get people to pay the tax since it isn't indicated on the package or even at the place of sale, unlike the consumption tax. For the sake of reference, when you buy a 350-ml can of beer you pay ¥77 in tax. If you bought the same volume of whiskey you'd pay ¥129 in tax; shochu ¥70, nihonshu ¥42 and wine ¥28.
Basically, that means the consumption tax is levied on a tax, since the consumption tax is determined by the price that the wholesaler and retailer pays for the product, which, by the time they receive it, already includes the alcohol tax that is levied at the manufacturing stage. "When the government said they'd increase the consumption tax, people got angry," says the professor. "But no one says anything about the alcohol tax, because people don't notice it." The reporter thinks that a "tax on a tax" violates the principle of taxation. The professor doesn't disagree, and adds that beer accounts for half the revenues brought in by the alcohol tax. Because beer makers are large companies with responsible accounting practices, it's easy for the Finance Ministry to collect the tax. The reporter says, "Why don't manufacturers get angry?"
Actually, that's why they started making the "beer-like" happoshu in the late '90s. Because the ingredients used in happoshu are different from those that define beer for tax purposes, the beer tax doesn't apply, and so makers could sell it at a much lower price. The government, of course, didn't like that and eventually raised the tax rate for happoshu, too, though not as high as it is for beer (¥46 for a 350-ml can). Makers came back again with dai-san (third type) beverages, which use fermented soybeans for flavor instead of hops, and that got around the happoshu tax (¥28 for 350-ml). But while these new, cheaper brews outsold "real" beer handily, sales for all three beverages have still decreased over time, due to the shrinking population and a younger generation of consumers who don't drink as much as their parents did.
In that regard, beer makers don't see much of an impact of the consumption tax hike on beer and beer-like beverage sales; or, at least, they don't see any point in trying to offset the hike. But they are modifying their lines of canned drinks that contain shochu, colloquially called chuhai. As the price of chuhai goes up thanks to the consumption tax, they are increasing the alcohol content. In fact, many companies have already added more alcohol to their chuhai products.
Kirin Beer increased its Hyoketsu Strong from 8 percent to 9 percent alcohol, and in April it will boost its Hon-shibori Lime chuhai drink from 6 to 8 percent.
Asahi Beer is already advertising its new Karakuchi Shochu Highball, which is 8 percent, in a bid to persuade normal fans of high balls — whiskey and soda — to switch to shochu and soda. That's a full 5 percentage points higher than Asahi's other chuhai, Slat, and both beverages will be sold for the same price. (Note: Slat is aimed at young women and the word suggests slimness, though an English speaker may be forgiven for thinking the name an unfortunate choice for such a target group.)
Suntory's chuhai product, -196 Degrees C Strong, which enjoyed a 22 percent share of the chuhai market in 2012 thanks to its already hefty alcohol content, will be strengthened from 8 to 9 percent. The company told Asahi Shimbun that it expects sales to grow by 8 percent.
The target is middle-aged and elderly men, the main demographic for alcoholic beverages anyway. Makers think they will be attracted to the cost effectiveness, according to the Asahi, which means they can "get drunk more easily" for the same amount of money. In many countries, tax on alcohol is referred to as a "sin tax," since it has a double-edged purpose: raising revenues on a product or service that may be harmful to society, on the one hand, and on the other checking consumption of the harmful product or service by making it more expensive.
This latter purpose doesn't seem to apply in Japan, where alcohol companies have figured out a way to use the tax structure to their advantage. There's no sin in that.

The Fallen Love
By Rashmi Singh
The word love has such a mixed connotation. And bringing its nuances is Rashmi Singh's latest fictional novel- The Fallen Love.
It spans the love that the main protagonist Rohan feels – for his mom, his first crush Shilpi, then Radhika and towards the end Madhuri. His fate makes him experience the pain of losing people he loves the most, or so he feels. So when it comes to Madhuri, Rohan pledges to strive for it and make it last…forever.
The story moves back-n-forth in time detailing Rohan's present affluent status and his highly underprivileged background, during his growing up years. The dramatic and horrendous circumstances that bestow misery and grief are well highlighted by the author. And so are the sensually arousing love scenes, described quite finely without a hint of sleaze and disgust.
Life isn't as simple as we want it. And it shouldn't be. Without trying moments of misery and depression how are we to enjoy the happiness and joy of success and prosperity and love, of course!
The story shows many facets of the human nature- greed, friendship, relationships, compassion, benevolence…all tied by the thread of love.
I would suggest you pick it up and give it a read. The story has twists that will make you sit up and take note of the adversities Rohan faces and the trials he undergoes and how he realizes that love doesn't come easy- and that giving up is not the way to go. Fighting for the one you love shows courage and real strength and dedication.
The author has put in a new perspective. The story shows growth for the author and her writing skills. The language used in this one shows a bold face of the modern contemporary youth. It makes you ponder on a lot many aspects, only to then realize – it is all but a story.
An enjoyable read.

I cant rember the title of the movie and i am not sure i even knew it ever cause i watched that movie soo long ago when i was very young. It frightend me than a lot but i never saw it again and all that is left of that movie is few scenes.
The movie is in future on some starnge planet. A gourp of people come to that planet and invetsigate it or search for something inside of town like structures. Its a horror scifi movie. The point of whole that planet is to materialise peoples fears and to kill them by it. I know only few key scenes i hope it will be enugh to somebody recognise it.
There is one guy with some big cristal shoorikens and there is a scene where those shoorikens breaks and one part of it come into his left arm and start to crowl under skin towards his heart and he cut his whole arm with the other shooriken. And he adored those weapons that in the end killed him.
There is a next scene with some girl who got lost from others and gets raped by giant wormlike creature. The girl get naked in scene and i remebered that scene very well as a boy .
Than there is a person that gets killed by some monster that crowls on the down side of some strange floating-in-dark bridge.
The film is probabaly from '80s or maybe late '70 according to my memory of picture and effect quality. Film is probably great trash but i would really like to find it and watch it again since that was my wish form the first and last time i`ve seen it.
I can remember some more scenes but i dont think they can be more helpfull since they get marginal and short.
I am not sure if you can help me but I just though that if bunch of scifi geeks (and i mean that in the best posssible way ) cant help me than noone can. If you cant help me with name at least maybe you can tell me how and where to search for it. Thankfull in advanced.

Answers to some of your questions about the difference between the Sprint networks and Wi-Fi
What are the benefits of the Sprint data networks and Wi-Fi?
Your Apple iPhone 4s supports 3G, and not 4G LTE.The Sprint 3G network offers a speedy Internet connection and uses less power than 4G.
You can browse the Internet, download, or stream content on a Sprint data connection anywhere you can access a Sprint data signal.
Sprint 4G LTE and Sprint 3G networks are the two technologies that power Sprint data connections.
Wi-Fi is one of the most underused and useful features on a smartphone, tablet, or a computer.
It's a short-range static wireless connection. Anyone can set up a Wi-Fi network with an Internet connection and a router or a Wi-Fi hotspot.

NYC City Pols Blame de Blasio for 911 Yet No One Demanding Criminal Investigation
It would almost be hilarious if it wasn't tragic with blood on New York City governments hand starting with Bloomberg administration, Cy Vance and now mayor de Blasio and Scott Stringer along with Mark Peters and Rose Gill Hearn (Rose got 2 kick back appointments from Mike Bloomberg for making sure no criminal prosecution and guess what CityTime not one New York City government worker was arrested) and the Manhattan dA Cy Vance was given request May 30, 2012 for criminal investigation by John Lui who got $50 million back from Verizon before he left office Verizon who is giving top NYPD brass graft gift thousands of dollars to NYPD chief chuck Dowd! Stringer removed John Liu's Press release calling for criminal investigation as soon as he came into office because I allege powerful lobbyist the profited bloodmoney were willing to back him for his run for mayor which is also true for de Blasio. The lobbyist whether the Republican or Democrat's will back both men as long as they are protected and so far it looks like they got their client Hewlett-Packard protected.
Mark Peters selling a lie.
"They didn't know what they were doing and weren't properly supervised by City Hall," he said of project contractors."
Mark why were heads of DOITTS about to become lobbyists for companies that were grossly over billing us? Paul Cosgrove did the simple math and he spoke up was pushed out but the headset didn't say word profited by becoming lobbyists along with how many others.
to Rose Gill Hearn, Mark Peters and Cy Vance -- try saying over billing isn't stealing in the real world -- try going over budget over a billion dollars in the private sector and say there was no stealing.
A key contractor stated he was going to overbill until he lost the contract.
Truth; Overbilling is stealing and most everyone was doing it and Mark Peters is protecting Bloomberg administration, powerful contractors like HP that sit on NY Pension board, lobbyists, and Cy Vance. Cy Vance protected Bloomberg when he broke him painless which is a crime and he himself the broken campaign was with Mark Guma! There's a lot more to the story about why and who is being protected. (I'm a victim of retaliation by the Bloomberg administration, Cy Vance and I am now suing mayor de Blasio and Mark Peters!).
Scott stringer made a deal pennies on the dollars only $10.5 million when the price tech for the damage is done but the lead contractor could be about $1 billion in damages to the city of New York because Hewlett-Packard was delivering late below par and was stealing and allowed a house of cards to be built a faulty system with other contractors and consultants overbilling they owe us big time and certain people belong in jail. They did this in plain sight and Bloomberg's people were notified as early as 2008 by a DOITT employee who reported it and was retaliated against for being a whistleblower by being fired.
The new head of DOITT encourages employees to come forward but based on my experience as a whistle blower who just had a 50-h sharing the city will do anything to destroy whistle blower. Anyone who called for the termination of Hewlett-Packard's contract was fired or pushed out including Paul Cosgrove, John Liu, Jane Doe, etc.
The contractors consultants were stealing my overbilling grossly (mark peters is on the record stating that's not a crime) and this was common knowledge to anyone who could do simple math on top of which they were delivering crap 911 like CityTime crap hunks of junk and powerfully connected lobbyists profited as well. 8 1/2 million New Yorkers were lying the system that doesn't work properly because they were stealing and delivering crap.
NYPD Chief Chuck Dowd was caught fixing crime and promoted upward by Ray Kelly made head of technology for over a decade and was caught taking gift from Verizon you think he only took gift from Verizon?
And he was not the only one taking gifts.
IAB was captured on audio stating to me he did not steal millions. Ray Kelly wanted to be head of Homeland security and funny that some of the main thieves overbilling have contracts with homeland security.
The key crook that open the floodgates on stealing 911 was able to waltzed right back into do it representing a new company who brags about him working on Hewlett-Packard 911.
The three biggest text Titanic's in New York City government but there were so many under Mike Bloomberg are 912, CityTime and 311 with two of the three Destined for the Dumpster.
The three biggest text Titanic's in New York City government but there were so many under Mike Bloomberg are 912, CityTime and 311 with two of the three Destined for the Dumpster.
I was threatened with arrest for running punched my head but these people stole a fortune they stole it by overbilling that's a crime and they jeopardize 8 1/2 million people safety and not one arrest.
SAIC CityTime Overbilling from the beginning stealing not want to rest because Dept of Investigation Rose Gill Hearn and Cy Vance decided when Richwhite powerful people over bill that is is not stealing and now Mark peters agrees.

Earlier this week, I spoke at the New Berlin Public Library in Wisconsin for the Waukesha County Federated Library System – Wisconsin has some great librarians for sure!
This was a well-attended talk, and there was some really good discussion afterwards. They are definitely thinking about and planning for the future.
And – just for the attendees – I warned you guys! I said I would post this pic to Flickr, and I did. It also makes a great addition to this post. Text is often much better with visuals… 🙂
Anyway – here's the Slideshare version of my Wisconsin talk. This was a longer presentation (3 hours), and I combined some thoughts from my usual Freak Out presentation and my newer Creating Customer Experience presentations. The content blends together pretty nicely.

I'm thinking of tackling a question that's a few months old, but have no way to tell without looking at their profile whether the OP still uses SO regularly, and therefore whether they're likely to even notice my answer in a timely way, or not.
Would it be a good idea for there to be some sort of way of telling whether the OP is still active, and how active they are, without having to go to their page for questions that are fairly old? The accept rate is handy, but after a certain amount of time, say one month, the question of whether the OP is still invested in the site seems to me to be more relevant, especially for users with low rep.
I know I can see their 'Seen' attribute on their profile page, but that's an extra page load for that small piece of information. How about a colour-coded image, or something, to crudely indicate, for old questions, roughly how active a user is?
EDIT: Gave this to Manni for following through the possible consequences of this request/point, but still find it relevant to know whether the OP is likely to see an answer, since it's often easier to answer the question if the OP can help you refine your answer. 'Answering for the world' is too abstract for me - I'm actually answering a question written by an individual. Whether that individual is still around makes a difference, to me at least.

The full name of the library is actually the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Bicentennial Library. I shortened it, for obvious reasons. In any case, it's located in downtown Chattanooga, only a few blocks from my office.
Fortunately, my library is open on Saturdays from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. I was there for about 3 hours, actively identifying the genealogical holdings, and still didn't see everything.
The department is divided into three main sections. The first section, with approximately 4000 linear feet of shelves at one end of the floor, contains the Federal Documents Depository Collection. The second section at the opposite end of the floor, with another 4000 linear feet of shelves, holds family histories, individual histories, bound genealogy periodicals, 3 rows of Civil War materials, and 8 rows of locality histories from all over the United States and the world. There are 9 rows dedicated to Tennessee/Chattanooga historical works. Roughly 300 linear feet are devoted to family histories. You can find the microfilm cabinets and readers, study tables, computer stations, and the reference desk in the middle section.
The library receives roughly 31 genealogy periodicals, including the National Genealogical Society Quarterly and The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record. If you are a member of the library, you can access Ancestry, HeritageQuest, Fold3, Sanborn Maps, WorldVitalRecords, and GenealogyBank through the library's computers. You can also access all of these (except Ancestry) remotely.
The library has an extensive collection of local newspapers on microfilm. The smaller newspapers that would eventually merge to create the Chattanooga Times Free Press go all the way back to February 1873. They also have the New York Times on microfilm (which is handy if you don't want to pay for your article - you can get the citation from the website and go to the library and look it up).
They also have TONS of microfilm that aren't newspapers. I think I stopped counting when I got to around the 30th filing cabinet. They have 11 microfilm readers, 2 are equipped to print to paper. There are also 2 digital microfilm scanners.
They also have an extensive manuscript collection with materials that date back to the 17th century. The most impressive thing (to me, anyway) is that the library maintains an obituary index for the Chattanooga Times Free Press. The index is updated each day by the staff directly from the newspaper. They do this specifically for the genealogical value, according to one of the reference librarians.
During my adventures in the stacks, I realized that my library has more available to research than just local materials. I found family histories from everywhere - including some in South Dakota and Indiana (where the majority of my U.S. research is centered). So just because you don't live where you have research, don't think you can't still find something at your local library!
(and, in case you're wondering, the staff are incredibly patient and helpful. Trust me. I put them to the test. They don't have a "no-fly" list for the library do they?)

"Diversions Mount"
Diversions mount, but decisions are determined
And timing in celestial spheres and signs
Are not paused for dilatory motives nor do the blind
So easily blot out the sun. Some there are who enter
Darkness seeking the mercurial stations of the tongue, the move
From where they are to where they divine they must
Be without so much as limb or wing but straight through the dust
To strike pavilions over what is not and never could be a truth. Note all who've
Owned a cause to glorify the effects of blows to obfuscate, to conceive a sure
Obstruction of all evidence, nothing more. "In My Father's House
Are many mansions," written plainly in orchestrated independent clauses;
The caveat in escrow, the final contract awaits the ink *and "If it were
Not so," He would have writ the mystery of galaxies and stars
as when polemic balances mark the seasons' endless cosmic scars.
* John 14-1-9

A look at what's happening around the majors Thursday:
Astros shortstop Carlos Correa is trying to get his aching back as healed as possible before Houston's AL Championship Series opener Saturday. Correa told The Associated Press on Wednesday that although he's tried to put on a brave face, his back is hurting him on every swing and miss, and on the bad days it can even be uncomfortable to walk. Correa returned from a six-week stint on the DL on Aug. 10 and declared he was better, but he hit just .180 in the second half of the season and had just one hit — a homer — while Houston swept Cleveland in their three-game AL Division Series.
"Not only to find my swing, just to feel comfortable at the plate when I swing," he said. "Because I know every time I swing and miss it's going to hurt. So, I try not to swing and miss and then I try to baby my swing and I don't swing as hard as I usually do or as quick as I usually do. So, it's definitely been tough."
Indians manager Terry Francona is still feeling a "sting" from Cleveland's early postseason exit, but he's not letting the blame fall on one of his biggest stars. Francona got defensive Wednesday when pressed about Jose Ramirez's struggles. Ramirez went hitless in 11 at-bats during an AL Division Series sweep, continuing a slide that began in mid-August and cost the All-Star any chance of being named MVP.
Francona stiffened when a reporter said Ramirez "killed" the Indians.
"What do you mean it killed us?" Francona snapped. "We won the division by 15 games.
"He got himself into a predicament and he couldn't get himself out of it," he added. "It's hard to figure out because a guy can be that good, that dominant and then he just couldn't get ... he kept peeling off balls even when he got pitches to hit. He kind of peeled off and he knew it and he watched video and he just couldn't get the feeling of staying through the ball."
The Nationals aren't waiting for the World Series to end to get going on their 2019 roster. Washington acquired reliever Kyle Barraclough from Miami on Wednesday, its first offseason move to rebuild its bullpen. Barraclough went 1-6 with 4.20 ERA and 10 saves in 17 chances during 61 appearances this year. He allowed one hit in 36 at-bats in June, when he was chosen NL reliever of the month, but struggled with his command the rest of the season.
Washington sent the Marlins $1 million in international slot allotment as part of the deal. Miami may use the space to acquire 22-year-old Cuban outfielder Victor Victor Mesa, who worked out at Marlins Park for big league scouts last week.

The workload increased for Penn State linebacker Dan Connor and his teammates this fall after coach Joe Paterno decided his Nittany Lions needed some extra disciplinary action. After home games, the Nittany Lions get a 7:30 a.m. wakeup call, arrive at Beaver Stadium before 8 and clean eight student sections in the south end zone.
The workload increased for Penn State linebacker Dan Connor and his teammates this fall after coach Joe Paterno decided his Nittany Lions needed some extra disciplinary action.
After home games, the Nittany Lions get a 7:30 a.m. wakeup call, arrive at Beaver Stadium before 8 and clean eight student sections in the south end zone. The 90 minutes of work after the seven home dates are Paterno's response to a handful of players who were involved in an off-campus fight last spring.
"That's how coach Paterno does business,'' Connor said. "You do what he says, keep your mouth shut and go to work. That's the Penn State mentality. You get up and go to work. It's tough to wake up at 7:30 after a game. You're beat up. It's tough, but you go out and do it.''
If Sunday mornings serve as a good example, the Nittany Lions have experience at cleaning up a mess. That might come in handy, when No. 21 Penn State (3-1 overall, 0-1 in the Big Ten Conference) plays at Illinois (3-1, 1-0) Saturday (11 a.m., Big Ten Network).
Penn State's offense was a mess in a 14-9 loss at Michigan Saturday. Penn State had 14 first downs and no touchdowns against a team that allowed 34 points in a loss to Appalachian State and 39 in another loss the following week to Oregon. With a running game ranked ninth in the Big Ten and a quarterback who has five touchdown passes and seven interceptions in Big Ten play as a starter, this offense might be harder to clean up than day-old nacho cheese on a bleacher.
The loss to Michigan dropped Penn State 11 spots in the top 25. One Pennsylvania newspaper already hinted the Nittany Lions reached a crisis on offense. Penn State's playcalling was labeled as conservative, despite obvious talent at receiver.
"Well, I think you'd like to have had about six more points (against Michigan), yeah,'' Paterno said. "But I think overall, (we're) about what I thought we'd be. Sure, you can always want to be better. I'm satisfied.
"I think we'll get better and do better, but I think considering some of the injuries we've had on the offensive line, everything else, I think we've done well.''
Penn State senior quarterback Anthony Morelli was 15-for-31 for 169 yards against Michigan. In four of the nine Big Ten games Morelli started in his career, he failed to lead the Nittany Lions on a touchdown drive. Michigan converted Morelli's fumble on the Penn State 14-yard line into the game's first touchdown.
"I think Anthony did well enough," Paterno said. "I think the one big mistake he made, obviously, was when he fumbled the ball in our territory. But I think overall he did a solid job.''
First-string running back Austin Scott also lost a fumble against Michigan and has three fumbles in the last two games. Star wide receiver Derrick Williams has 14 catches for only 87 yards and three rushes for six yards while not scoring a touchdown.
"There's no way we can lose confidence,'' Williams said. "Any team that loses confidence in a scheme or what you do, that's an unsuccessful team. Monday, we went in there and set our goals. They're very reachable.
"We still want to win the Big Ten and go to a big BCS bowl. That's our goals. We still believe in everything we do.''
Last season, Illinois dropped a 26-12 decision at Penn State, even though the Nittany Lions had just 10 first downs, 40 yards rushing and 184 total yards. Penn State likely will have to rely on a rushing defense ranked No. 6 nationally by allowing 54.8 yards per game.
As for the punishment involving his team, the 80-year-old Paterno wanted to save some of Penn State's reputation.
"I think that we need to prove to people that we're not a bunch of hoodlums,'' he said last spring.
There's still the mess with the Penn State offense.
