CARTHAGE — Most comments made at Thursday night's informational meeting on a proposed wind farm were critical of the potential development.
It was Patriot Renewables LLC's chance to explain what they plan and what the benefits might be for the town if 13, two-megawatt wind turbines are built on Saddleback Mountain Ridge.
Because the planned site is within visual and sometimes sound distance of many living in neighboring Wilton and Dixfield, some of the nearly 70 people who attended were from those two towns, as well.
At least one person attended from Highland Plantation in Somerset County where another wind project is in the works.
"This mountain is unique. If the noise is too loud, what will you do?" asked former Carthage Selectman Bill Houghton, who helped circulate a petition this month calling for a wind farm moratorium. He said the petition had at least 150 signatures.
An unidentified woman from Dixfield said her home is between the proposed Carthage development and a similar plan in Dixfield. She said the flight path for birds comes through that area.
"There's a wind tunnel there," she said. "All of a sudden there's no flight path. The flight path goes right up Route 2 and up Saddleback Mountain. I want to see some data."
Roxbury resident Steve Thurston was concerned that some people living one or two miles from a turbine could suffer health effects.
"Maine's noise regulations are not adequate," he said.
But Carthage resident Elwin Brown took issue with noise complaints.
"Those snowmobiles are screaming and you don't complain about that," he said.
East Dixfield resident Richard Hall said he had visited wind farms in several areas in the United States and Canada.
"People who are concerned about noise are wasting their time. I live on Route 2 and truck noise is much, much greater. I wouldn't mind having a wind turbine 1,000 feet from my house," he said.
Others were concerned that the tops of mountains would be destroyed.
Andy Novey, project developer for the proposed Carthage and Woodstock wind projects, said the tentative plan is to build 13 turbines on private property for which they have a purchase option. If the title on an adjacent 320 acres is cleared to show that it is owned by the town, another four turbines would be built, bringing the total number of megawatt production to 34.
The access road to the turbines would be from the Winter Hill Road in South Carthage. He said the power transmission lines would be built underground to meet a substation.
The wind towers with the blades extended would be just over 400 feet high, and would run on a three-mile ridgeline. The access road would be 24 feet wide, and the ridgeline roads would be 32 feet wide. Both widths would be reduced to 12 feet wide with vegetation. About 800 acres would become conservation easements, he said.
The town would receive about $4,000 a year for each turbine on private property, and about $313,000 a year on a lease from town owned property.
"There are ways to shelter some of that money," he said.
During construction, up to 100 people would be working. Once completed, three or four full-time people would be needed to maintain the turbines.
He said the closest house or camp not on the project lands is 3,000 feet from a turbine.
The company is working its way through the Maine Department of Environmental Protection permitting procedure. If the remaining environmental studies are completed on schedule, it should be ready for submission by the end of the summer, said Todd Presson, chief executive officer of the Quincy, Mass. firm.
If a moratorium is passed at a special town meeting set for 7 p.m. June 21, then he said the company will continue to move forward, but at a slower pace.
First Selectman Steve Brown said he's not sure what would happen if a moratorium is passed. He said the town has neither a comprehensive plan nor a Planning Board. He said he is checking with the town's attorney on what the next step would be.
Also at the meeting was Alison Hagerstrom, who introduced the Patriot Renewables team. She said she had been working with the company for more than a year.
"We support the wind projects because it diversifies our base in Franklin County," she said.

Hello all,
It's strange how things happen. I lost my best friend this week and by coincidence I was reading the AOPA announcement about PNP. I can't think of a better way to give back to the animals that mean so much to us. Please let me know if I can help in anyway. I own a Cessna 182 and a Mooney M20C and I'm available Friday-Monday to help. Does anyone have any marketing literature I can distribute to local FBO's in Memphis? I'd love to spread the word about PNP!

Autumn is a sweet and adorable Jack Russell Terrier mix at the . She is ready to find her forever home with a loving and patient family.
Autumn has been at the shelter since April 3. She just can't understand why she hasn't been adopted yet!
Autumn can be shy and a little nervous with new people but given a little time quickly becomes the sweetest girl. Despite her shy nature Autumn has the ability to bond strongly and when she opens her heart you will see it is well worth the effort. It is important that her future owner understands she will need some time to adjust to new surroundings. Because she can be shy at first, Autumn would do best in a home without small children.
She would make an incredible flyball dog, as she loves to play fetch and is very eager to please. Although she loves to run and play, she is a mellow dog once she isn't in play mode and is perfectly content snuggling on laps.
Autumn has been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, micro-chipped and tested negative for heartworms.
If you think Autumn would be a good fit for your family, please come to our Mansell Campus at 1565 Mansell Road, Alpharetta, GA 30009 for a meet and greet. Bring your whole family (dogs too) to meet her.
An adoption application can be filled out at our location and we can be contacted at 404-875-5331 with any questions.

Scoring medical marijuana might have gotten a whole lot easier thanks to a new vending machine.
Aliso Viejo-based Dispense Labs, whose parent company is The Dispensary Group, recently unveiled "Autospense," a medical marijuana dispensing system that resembles a vending machine.
But will the machine affect local sales at the only remaining medical marijuana dispensary left in south Orange County or give competition to local street dealers?
"Will these medical marijuana vending machines soon start replacing medical dispensaries and drug dealers? I wouldn't count them out just yet," said Tom Backgram, a Laguna Niguel resident who knows so-called drug dealers.
"If medical marijuana continues down the path that it is going in, I don't think local drug dealers or medical marijuana delivery service will have to worry. Every week cities are shutting down clinics. If they won't let a store stay why would they allow a vending machine that dispenses pot," Backgram said. "However, if cities start allowing medical marijuana clinics to start opening back up, I could see these machines spreading like wildfire."
Suite A is currently in a lawsuit with the city to be closed down because it violates the cities zoning code. Representatives did not return phone calls.
Medical marijuana has been allowed in California since voters approved Proposition 215 in 1996. However, the use of marijuana remains prohibited under federal law, and in 2005, the Supreme Court ruled those laws could be enforced in states allowing medical marijuana.
There is one active medical marijuana vending machine owned and operated by Dispense Labs in Santa Ana, but more could be added to the surrounding Orange County areas very soon.
"It's a very sophisticated dispensing system. We have spent $3 million in software development in tracking inventory, " said Joe DeRobbio CEO of Dispense Labs. "We are the only system today in the industry that can track a (marijuana) seed to sell."
After providing the proper documentation, a patient will be issued a membership card. The card allows the patient access into the cage where the machine is located. Patients must then enter their cards into the machine, have their finger scanned and receive a unique pin that allows them access to the machine, according to DeRobbio.
However, this is currently not the only medical marijuana vending machine on the market today. Medbox, founded in 2008, has its corporate headquarters in Los Angeles. It is claiming that Dispense Labs is infringing on its patent. The patent is designated for medical dispensing machines and software, according to the company's website.
"We have looked at the patent, and we have sent a response to Medbox informing them that we are not infringing on their patent. I believe if we challenge the patent, we can break it, " said DeRobbio. "We both process our machines differently."

A recent photoshoot Sarah did...and it definitely took me by surprise. Some good shots here.
A recent photoshoot Sarah did...and it definitely took me by surprise. Some good shots here.
She's in the nude here but is covering herself.
Stunning woman, great pictures.
I am all for tasteful nudes or clothes, whichever conveys the artistic vision, ... but it seems kinda awkward and out of place in this case. The one shot I really like is the one where she's doing a runner's hamstring stretch towards the camera, with the shoe dead center in the frame. That says "running" the most.
I actually was at a Nike Women's run last year in SF!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think Sarah Meier is the most beautiful lady in eligible figure skating currently. What is it with the Swiss? . . . it's like they all have a fountain of beauty there, what with Stephane Lambiel, Roger Federer, Antoine Dorsaz, Jamal Othman, the list goes on! I'm curious . . . does anyone have any news on Sarah's love life?
Last edited by museksk8r; 07-27-2010 at 01:38 PM.
What a great find!
A tasteful, classy, collaboration and synergy between a gorgeous athlete and a talented photographer...
Thank you very much!!!
The shoes are a fun, funny, and interesting addition...
Sarah could easily be an elite-level model, but luckily for us she decided to focus on being an elite-level figure skater instead...
I can imagine the Swiss saying Oh La La in all 4 Official languages. Gal is quite the beauty!
She is stunning!
Last edited by MikiAndoFan#1; 07-27-2010 at 11:09 PM.
I love it!
She's naked, but doesn't come off as cheap or lewd at all!
Rather, she looks every inch like a beautiful athlete.
Unbelievably classy.
Some shots make her head look too big for her tiny body. Maybe it's the angle?
Maybe it's about subverting stereotypical notions of beauty and showing different ways of presenting 'beauty'.
Any female/male body, no matter how lithe, will look that way when a photo is taken from that angle. But fashion shoots will typically choose angles where the head will look smaller and the limbs longer to try and preserve the status quo notion of 'beauty'.
The fisrt phot of her doing some stretching is so unnusal and bestiful.
Very classy pictures, nothing like Elena Sokolova
Actually, I don't think any of those pics give justice to her beauty. She's much more beautiful and much hotter when shows less of her body and more of her beautiful face.
The shoe is one of the Nike Free shoes. I don't know if you know these but they are very light, the feeling is close to wearing nothing and run barefoot.
She looks fantastic, and I can imagine quite a few shoes would be sold off of these shots!
I am free of all prejudices. I hate everyone equally.~W. C. Fields
I'd give her a 3 point GOE to her body lol.
Love her but why does she have to be naked? Gimmick.

The best price
This is my wormer of choice, never had any side effects, always works. I used to pay about 70$ for the large dogs and 45$ for the small dogs at my local feed store. Now I can get both for around 50 bucks.
Smart buy
I have several animals to treat so cost is an important issue. ProbioticSmart has made the product and shipping affordable for me. I ordered after hours on January 3, 2012. It shipped (standard) the next day and I received it 4 days later. I seldom rate the maximum available but this gets my highest recommendation. The Sentry HC WormX plus is the same compounded active ingredients as the more expensive products on the market. It does exactly what it is intended to do.
Best wormer
I love this wormer, it is cheap and effective. Not for pups under 12 weeks old. If you get tape worms from fleas then this is the wormer you need.
The Best
I love this wormer, it is cheap and effective. I use this for my all around wormer for my adult dogs and it does the job. If you get tape worms from fleas then this is the wormer you need.

La Trésorerie in Paris
Best Shops
The newly-opened La Tresorerie is a treasure trove of beautiful things for the home. This building was one the 11th district's main treasury, hence the name, and you can still see the original bars on the windows, which have been painted a pretty pale blue. Set up in a similar vein to one of my other favorite Paris stores, Merci, it boasts a big space to display furniture, kitchenware and home furnishings, with a cafe next door (le Cafe Smörgås), where you can grab a coffee or a bite to eat in between shopping.

At the hub of all the action is DCA — an incredible, sprawling, open space housing a cinema, restaurant, bar, print workshops, art exhibitions, creative spaces, a packed schedule of courses and events, and the recently-renovated DCA shop full of quirky, design-led pieces and fabulous original work by local creatives.
Aaron Poritz Furniture
Store Profile
I first discovered Aaron's handmade hardwood furniture during a house tour at his sister's home, and then again at The Red Hen in Washington, DC, where he's outfitted the restaurant with ceilings, floors, tables, chairs and a bar made from his responsibly sourced Nicaraguan wood. The stuff is gorgeous and makes the restaurant, and it's a fine example of how his pieces work as well in hospitality and work environments as they do in the home.
Summer Camp In Ojai
Store Profile
Mike and Rachel set their sights on this abandoned midcentury gas station just a few short months ago. With a specific aesthetic and ideas, they've created a really wonderful, unique concept shop that brings a little something different to the small town of Ojai. Not only do they offer custom framing, but they also have candles, jewelry, clothing, vintage wares, and paper goods. And the location adds to the charm — this is truly one of the coolest repurposed buildings I've ever seen. Welcome to Ojai!
Korla Home
Store Profile
It was a background in fashion textile design and a stint overseas in Singapore that led British designer Jane Bonsor to create her own textiles brand, Korla Home. Now a popular source for unique geometric-print fabrics, window coverings and accessories, the company aims to bring contemporary design to the customer at an affordable price, and has plans to expand their collection into other accessories, wallpaper and rugs.
Ronda Ruby Ceramics
In 2010, Ronda Ruby Dibbern turned her love of ceramics into a lighting business, creating original handcrafted lamps through Ronda Ruby Ceramics. As a lifelong potter, Ronda acknowledges that there are times when a piece begins with a specific idea, but most of the time, her lamps slowly evolve through the creative process. The end result is truly one-of-a-kind — a lamp like none before or after it, complete with a customized shade. Here are some of Ronda's recent favorites:
Cape Horn Illustration
If you tend to notice every detail in your favorite house tours, you may have first spotted a Cape Horn Illustration on Apartment Therapy here, in Marti and Jarrod's Lincoln Square house tour. If you're seeking to memorialize your first home, your current home, or your last home (or any building that's meaningful to you), look no further than Phil Thompson, who will draw your building's portrait as if he knows it as well as you do. The final outcome is a reminder that your home is like none other, that it's all in the details. We asked Phil some questions recently, and got a peek into the illustration process of a recent commission:
Store Profile
Moonish wall tiles are handmade in New York. The production takes place in Garnerville, where some of the process is subcontracted to a local woodworker, and the Moonish studio in Greenpoint Brooklyn, where the design and printing take place. All of the plywood they use is sourced from FSC compliant supplies, and because it is marine grade, there is no added urea formaldehyde like most inexpensive plywood contain. The tiles are silkscreened with water based pigments, and are finished with a water based acrylic finish, either glossy or matte.
The Foggy Dog
Store Profile
I stumbled upon The Foggy Dog when tackling the seemingly impossible task of finding a stylish dog bed that would stand up to the abuse of my dogs and their dig, turn, dig routine that precedes them curling up on any soft surface — and that I could easily toss in the washing machine. Check, check and check.
Habitat 1964
British furniture and homewares brand Habitat has recently opened a new store in the north of Paris. Located in Saint-Ouen, home to the city's biggest flea market, Marche aux Puces de Saint-Ouen (also the largest in the world), Habitat 1964 is a large warehouse space dedicated to all things vintage.

Slow Start Hurts Valpo in Loss to #19/18 DePaul
Wednesday, December 29, 2004A 14-0 run out of the gate was more than enough for #19/18 DePaul, as the Blue Demons defeated Valparaiso 75-49 on Wednesday evening in the first round of the Blue Sky Classic held in Hanover, N.H.
All five starters scored for the Blue Demons during the 14-0 start over 3:52, as Valpo missed its first shots and committed three turnovers on its opening possessions. The lead swelled to 27-6 following a three-pointer by Allie Quigley and a putback by Khara Smith.
Betsy Rietema (Grand Rapids, Mich./Christian H.S.) snapped a 5:19 scoring draught with a basket at the 7:06 mark. Valpo made just 3 of its first 17 shots from the floor. An 11-2 DePaul run pushed its lead to 30-8 at the 6:47 mark. The Crusaders went nearly another four minutes before scoring again, and the Blue Demons took a 38-18 lead into intermission.
DePaul shot 47.1% from the floor in the first half as Smith connected on 6-of-9 and led all scorers with 13 points at the break. The junior also grabbed nine boards in the opening stanza as the Blue Demons outrebounded Valpo 26-16. Valpo shot just 26.7% in the first half. Tamra Braun (Savage, Minn./Prior Lake H.S.) led the Crusaders with six points.
Meredith Baugher (Berea, Ohio/Berea H.S.) scored on the first possession out of the locker room, and Valpo got a stop defensively with a chance to cut into the lead, but was unable to convert. Jenna Rubino connected on a pair of three-pointers as part of DePaul's 8-0 that followed pushing their lead to 46-20.
Valpo answered with a 7-2 run of its own on back-to-back baskets by Rietema and a triple by Jenna Stangler (St. Michael, Minn./St. Michael-Albertville H.S.). DePaul pushed the lead back to 27, 64-37, with 6:48 to play, and coasted from there.
Rietema led Valpo with 13 points, 11 in the second half. Braun added seven and Stangler and Mayella Kuikhoven (Almelo, Netherlands/St. Canisius H.S.) added six each. Stangler saw her streak of 11 straight games scoring in double-figures come to an end. Baugher led Valpo on the glass with six rebounds, four coming on the offensive end.
Smith led DePaul (9-2) with 18 points and 16 rebounds, seven offensive. Rubino added 16 points, while Jarietta Benton scored 11 more.
DePaul shot 48.4% from the floor for the game and held a 46-27 advantage on the glass. Valpo connected on just 35.1% of its shots. The Crusaders also committed a season-high 18 turnovers, but forced 19 from the Blue Demons.
Valparaiso (5-5) will return to action on Thursday night in the consolation game of the Blue Sky Classic. The Crusaders will face the tournament host, Dartmouth, beginning at 4 p.m. CST. The Big Green fell to Richmond 58-55 in first round action.

It's already March, but it felt a bit like Groundhog Day this week as U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) unveiled — for the third straight year [1] — a conservative House budget proposal steeped in austerity, divorced from reality, and as unpopular as ever. Notwithstanding an Election Day that saw majorities vote against both Congressman Ryan's policy priorities and Congressman Ryan as a Vice Presidential candidate, the newest incarnation of the Ryan budget still includes massive cuts [2] to key domestic priorities, assumes the repeal [3] of parts of Obamacare, turns Medicare into a voucher system, cuts Medicaid [4] by over $750 billion, and hands out even more huge tax breaks for the wealthiest few — all while claiming to balance the budget in ten years. It's a document that has rightly been described [5] as "a tale of fantastical illusion," but also one that reflects the destructive conventional wisdom that continues to see austerity and short-term deficit reduction as priorities for the nation ahead of getting Americans back to work.
To significantly less fanfare [6], another budget proposal was released this week that actually does redirect the debate away from austerity and toward job creation. The Congressional Progressive Caucus' "Back to Work Budget" [7] proposal starts by repealing the cuts in both the sequester and the Budget Control Act that are already set to curb economic growth significantly this year. It continues by investing in real job creation — including direct aid that aims to close state budget gaps caused by the Great Recession for two years, allowing states to directly rehire some of the hundreds of thousands of cops, teachers, and public sector workers who have lost their jobs lost over the last decade. It also extends emergency unemployment compensation for the jobless in high unemployment states, invests in infrastructure, returns Pentagon spending to 2006 levels, and aims to reduce the deficit by $4.4 trillion by closing tax loopholes and instituting a financial transaction tax.
In all, the CPC budget includes a range of proposals that are predicted to create 7 million jobs in the first year alone if enacted. While the CPC points out in their summary [7] of the budget that "this is what the country voted for in November," a point even Congressman Ryan appears hard pressed to argue, the proposal clearly faces a hard road in a conservative House of Representatives still opposed to the most minor of compromises. But at the very least, as part of a national discussion that views far-right fantasy budgets along the line of Ryan's as "serious" proposals, the "Back to Work Budget" is an important contribution to debates happening both in D.C. and in state capitals across the nation going forward. And as Paul Krugman points out in a column today [8], it also has the benefit of being grounded in actual economics and real numbers:
I've seen some people describe the caucus proposal as a "Ryan plan of the left," but that's unfair. There are no Ryan-style magic asterisks, trillion-dollar savings that are assumed to come from unspecified sources; this is an honest proposal. And "Back to Work" rests on solid macroeconomic analysis, not the fantasy "expansionary austerity" economics — the claim that slashing spending in a depressed economy somehow promotes job growth rather than deepening the depression — that Mr. Ryan continues to espouse despite the doctrine's total failure in Europe.
You can view the full CPC budget here [7], including an Executive Summary (pdf) [9] and accompanying analysis from the Economic Policy Institute (pdf) [10].
The National Priorities Project also has a very useful comparison [11] of the major budget proposals floating around right now — including the Ryan budget, the CPC budget, and the Senate proposal by U.S. Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) — and how they all compare to popular opinion.

STAUNTON, Va -- President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are getting ready for the first presidential debate, which is scheduled for Wednesday night. The candidates are not just practicing their policies, they are also rehearsing their 'zingers.'
Jim Josefson is a Bridgewater College political science professor and he said 'zingers' are those one-liners that really grab voters. He said for those voters who are still undecided, those 'zingers' can really have an effect in this debate.
"They always prepare these things. Are they able to land those punches with the required dexterity and force, such that people really pay attention to it, remember it?" said Josefson.
Josefson said people remember those punches more than the actual policies that are debated.

Kelly Phillips Erb, Contributor
I cover tax: paying tax is painful but reading about it shouldn't be.
Over the years, I've represented a lot of clients. I've listened to hours and hours of IRS hold music. And I've had a lot of conversations with IRS reps and agents. But last week something happened that truly shocked me: the IRS hung up on me. On purpose.
The details aren't all that important. Basically, I called the IRS to discuss a client's tax matter. While it's my job to zealously protect the rights of my clients, I am very aware that the person on the end of the line is also doing their job, and as such, I am professional when I speak to the IRS. On this day, I did exactly that. I didn't raise my voice. I wasn't nasty. I merely tried to explain that there appeared to have been a cross in communications when the agent cut in abruptly with a brusque "This is how we do it" and then, Click.
I was actually rendered speechless. If you've met me, you'll understand that's quite the feat.
I called back, only to find that there is no way to speak to a supervisor without putting in a special request. I did exactly that – and I'm still waiting.
It was the first of a number of incidents that I would have previously considered to be out of character for IRS. Shocked by what appeared to be a change of direction from the "kinder, gentler IRS" in the 90s, I asked my colleagues on twitter whether they had noticed a difference in the IRS treatment of taxpayers:
The answer was a resounding yes.
I was inundated by direct messages and emails from accountants and attorneys, each with an anecdote about a client matter with IRS recently gone bad. Clients have been liened without notice to their representatives. Installment plans were canceled without warning or explanation. Reconsideration requests were summarily denied. The word "abuse" in reference to IRS popped up more than once.
I know, some of you are going to say that you're not surprised. But I am. While I understand that IRS is rarely anyone's best friend, it has always been my experience that while the bureaucracy and policies can be frustrating, most of the agents and attorneys that I've worked with have been helpful (one sexist Innocent Spouse Appeals Officer from 2004 excepted) – even when I don't agree with the result.
I have been hung up on a handful of times. Usually they try to make it less obvious, for example, by putting you on hold first, then hanging up or just never returning to the phone. This is nothing new. And any effort to report their behavior is pretty much pointless.
As a 25-year veteran of Federal Civil Service, I advise you to contact your Senator or Congressman about that behavior. Yes, having worked inside the government for a lifetime, I have felt the shifting winds of administrations, and they are not easy to endure. You are jerked one way under one President and another way under a different one. The public blames federal employees for the errors of their politicians. However, the federal employee is paid from tax dollars, and there is no excuse to behave such as you described. These agencies jump at congressionals, and now sounds like a good time to send one. Doesn't matter if he/she is a Dem or a Rep, either. The Dems don't wants to look any worse and the Reps always want to right a wrong under a Dem administration. It works the other way as well. But I've received good results from congressionals as a tax payer, and I've weathered the onslaught of an irritated congressman or senator, too. The system still works (for most of the politicians). There is no excuse for the federally employed to treat the public with anything but respect.
"Simply having to cope" is hands down the worst possible excuse I can think of for cutting a budget. While I do feel for you getting hung up on, the stress level of the employees and the future of their jobs hanging in the balance has got to be high. Tension so thick that you could slice it- which makes your photo of choice all the more appropriate.
I have noticed it all this summer. Letters that were sent with full details are simply ignored and the same IRS letter is resent.
Clients call wondering what is going on. I can see the next couple of years being tough to cope with increased regulation, lowered funding, more responsibility and a government system stretched to the limits.
It would probably help them if they created an electronic system for dealing with these issues. Give people access to upload their responses into the system rather than mail them back or try to call and wait on hold forever.
It would increase accountability, and streamline the whole process though I doubt it would solve the inherent problems that budget cuts will create.
It is the government after all. Do you expect swiftness?
A few years ago an IRS employee was rude and did not try to solve a client problem. He did hang up on me. I fortunately wrote down his name and ID# and I followed up by writing a letter to the IRS which I never received a response. As a former IRS Agent I was appauled by the employee's behavior and had to report it.
My recent experiences with the IRS have been very positive.
I had this experience today. I too wrote down his name and number. Does the IRS even do anything when it is reported?
The time has come to get rid of the IRS. It is a cancer. If the world's most despicable people can protest to change their countries one of these peoples just got rid of the murderous dictator Ghadaffi, the American people should rise up to get rid of the IRS, the tyranical agency that infects the lives of everyone in the USA.
Hopefully, the budget constraints will cause the IRS to implode that will make its job impossible.
The only people who want the current tax system and the IRS to continue are those CPAs and tax preparers who simply are HACKS, who could not make an honest living without the cancer of the current system.
The is the time for the the USA to have an "American Spring". Enough of IRS stories–get rid of the IRS by legislating it out of existence or at least give it no operating funds. Its demise will free the American public from an evil.
This past tax season I spent many hours on the phone with the IRS. I am John Doe. I had a peculiar problem with paying tax that I knew I needed to pay but had a difficult time getting the required info from people at the IRS. After many calls I was able to find some people that had actually been informed.
Not all of them are ignorant, just the vast majority.
If Obama gets his way it will be even slower.
Things will have to get worse before they get better.
Change will come when Americans are so sick of the IRS that they demand a better system.
The IRS is doing its part to make American demand change.
Kelly, I have to agree. With all the additional burdens added–healthcare, preparer registration and aggravation, expiring and extended provisions–I think that we are headed to a major revolt by taxpayers, bureaucrats and the preparer community. The late 90′s shake up (see Taxpayers' Bill of Rights, Taxpayers' Advocate office) is due to be revisited.

A Planning Board Commissioner on Thursday said NIH officials haven't made enough efforts to reduce the number of parking spots at the Bethesda campus. Planners hope eliminating parking will force more workers to carpool or take metro and take more cars off the roads.
which employs more than 20,000 people in Bethesda, went before the Montgomery County Planning Board Thursday for an advisory review of the facility's master plan. The long-term vision for the site calls for the addition of about 3,000 workers from satellite locations over the next 20 years, according to a planning staff report.
Park and Planning, which has no approval authority over the federal facility's growth plans, voted yesterday to transmit its comments to the National Capital Planning Commission. In 2003, NCPC approved a growth plan for NIH on the condition that the federal facility reduce its parking spaces to one spot for every three employees, according to a Washington Post report.
However, NIH still has about one space for every two employees – more than 10,000 spaces, according to the Post. Planners wrote in their report that they were "discouraged by the lack of success" in reducing on-campus parking, according to the report.
At Thursday's hearing, one commissioner turned up the heat on the issue.
"There's no defensible rationale I'm aware of not to have a one-to-three parking ratio at this point," said Planning Board Commissioner Casey Anderson.
Anderson said that parking at the site encourages more people to drive to work along Rockville Pike, where heavy congestion is compounded by traffic to Naval Support Activity Bethesda, which also went before the board for an advisory review Thursday.
Fewer available spaces at NIH, Anderson argued, would force workers to find alternative means of transportation like transit or carpooling.
"The idea that you can't achieve these kind of mode share goals in a place that's right on top of a Metro, I'm trying to push back in no unequivocal terms and say, 'I don't buy that,'" Anderson said.
NIH officials said they encourage alternative means of transportation, but defended the need for parking for employees, some of whom live far away and may not be able to afford to live closer to campus.
"I live in Prince George's county and there's no way I can get here unless I drive," said Ricardo Herring, director of NIH division of facilities planning. "No way."
Should NIH reduce parking at its Bethesda campus? Tell us in the comments.

Courier Staff Writer
The drop to $2.99 gas in Ottumwa didn't cause long lines of consumers looking to save a nickel, but it did make some people's day.
"I'm hoping it's a sign of things to come for our economy," said Jerry Miller, who was filling up both his pickup truck and his family's SUV.
He picked the right day to do it. Gas dropped below $3 in Ottumwa early Monday. The last time Iowa showed an average gas price below $3, reports GasBuddy.com, was more than two years ago.
Miller didn't stop because of the price, he said. He stopped because they needed to get gas. But the lower price was a nice bonus.
"I was shocked," he said.
A few motorists who spoke with the Courier Monday said they weren't surprised by the drop, but none stopped because they saw the price, which, despite breaking a "barrier," was really only a five-cent decrease.
"I had to get gas anyway, but it was a nice surprise," said Kirsten Younger of Ottumwa. "I paid $3.05 yesterday."
So why does she need gas again if she filled up the day before?
"Filled up? I can't remember the last time I filled up," she said as she pumped gas into her SUV.
She doesn't know how much it would cost to fill the tank, but $25 doesn't quite get her to half a tank. But putting $25 in gave her more gas than it gave her a week or two ago.
"You save 50 cents on every $10," she said. "Every little bit helps."
In a way, celebrating gas at less than $3 a gallon seems like a bit of a stretch. As recently as 2005, gas was consistently a buck and change. But in a world where every price seems to go in only one direction, said driver Rachel Gidion of Ottumwa, we can't be blamed for finding a little joy in seeing the $3 barrier broken — even if it's only temporary.
"I'm glad for anything that is a reduction," Gidion said. "[However] I can also remember when I was in high school — a gallon was 32 cents."

The Daily Item
— LAURELTON — A PennDOT bridge crew in Union County reopened a new bridge on Route 235 in Hartley Township this afternoon and lifted a detour.
The new bridge replaces a structurally deficient arch bridge that had been in service for nearly a century.
The new bridge carries Route 235 over Laurel Run on the same alignment, about half-way between Laurelton and Route 45.
Along with the new, wider bridge, other improvements include roadway approach paving and guiderail installation.
Any remaining work on the project will be done with the bridge open to traffic.

A Dash of Culture
Matt Cavenaugh and Josefina Scaglione of "West Side Story."
Michael Fassbender as Bobby Sands in HUNGER by Steve McQueen
Sondra Radvanovsky as Leonora and Marcelo Alvarez as Manrico in Verdi's "Il Trovatore."
Talk about life's rich tapestry; this was my cultural landscape this week. On Tuesday I wept my way through Arthur Laurents's exhilarating revival of West Side Story, for which, of course, he wrote the book half a century ago. The clearly indefatigable Mr. Laurents (who revived Gypsy so triumphantly last year) is 91, which gives one such hope for the future, doesn't it? Jerome Robbins's choreography, archivally revived by Joey McKneely, seems almost shockingly fresh and innovative. How on earth did that happen? The wonderfully naturalistic Argentine Josefina Scaglione, playing Maria with a poignant mix of innocence and feistiness, was a pure enchantment, and Matt Cavenaugh's Tony (who was such a poppet as both Joseph Kennedy, Jr., and the Marble Faun in the sublime Grey Gardens) has the sort of old-fashioned faintly tremolo voice that I rather love and that seems at times almost lost to contemporary Broadway. His torso, incidentally, so picturesquely revealed here, is to be believed. Marble Faun indeed. The couple's "One Hand, One Heart" and "Tonight "melt the heart. The Times's distinguished Mr. Brantley has drawn attention (and exception) to the Gap-ad color coordination of David C. Woolard's costumes. The Sharks, for instance, are all in shades of my fetish violets and mauve (which I cannot draw exception to), while the Jets wear putrid tones of mustard and olive. (Their molls—led by the transcendent Karen Olivo as Anita—wear old-fashioned flounced and tiered fifties skirts, while the Jets' dolls are in faintly sleazy minidresses.) Perhaps it made for gentler battles, but I don't mind a little help from the design department. For me, however, the most brilliant color-symbolic costumes this season were Irene Sharaff's original designs for Balanchine's playful 1936 ballet Slaughter on Tenth Avenue, which I was lucky enough to catch in New York City Ballet's delightful revival last month. On Thursday I was at MoMA for a screening of the Turner Prize–winning video artist Steve McQueen's feature-directorial debut, Hunger (above), about the excruciating last days of the Irish Republican Army's Bobby Sands, who died after a 66-day hunger strike in Belfast's notorious Maze Prison. McQueen's film is powerful, haunting, and profoundly thoughtful—don't artists make extraordinary filmmakers? McQueen cavalierly seems to have ignored every suggestion his producers made, resulting in such incredible moments as an interview between Sands and his priest shot in one seventeen-minute take—and more power to him. In the Q-&-A session that followed his stunning, mesmeric, and thoroughly eviscerating film, McQueen recalled, as an eleven-year-old, seeing on the evening news a picture of Sands every night and this cryptic number underneath, which in fact revealed the number of days he had been starving himself. As a child and teenager having grown up in Britain during the time of the Troubles, I can vividly remember this, too. McQueen's film brings an artist's sensitivity and unmatched eye for detail to his subject, chillingly evoking the institutionalized violence, squalor in the Maze, and the passion and insouciant violence of the IRA. Michael Fassbender as Sands is unforgettable. Recession chic? Darling, I had to cheer myself up so succumbed to standing-room tickets for David McVicar's Il Trovatore at the Met on Friday (not that the story is exactly uplifting). Worth each aching limb, however, and the conceit to update the story from medieval Spain to the age of Goya was visually effective (even if it made burning at the stake a tad anachronistic) in the assured hands of costume designer Brigitte Reiffenstuel and set designer Charles Edwards. Sondra Radvanovsky as Leonora was absolutely glorious.
Makeup is melt proof, braids are back, and the season's sunniest highlights come in a bottle: Summer's best looks have never been easier—or looked better—than right now.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina's financial oversight board is expected to approve using $65 million in federal stimulus cash for a 250-worker diesel engine plant in Aiken run by MTU Detroit Diesel.
The company announced the facility in March. The state Budget and Control Board on Monday plans to discuss using federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act-backed bonds for tooling and equipment at the Sage Mill Industrial Park in Graniteville.
The Tognum Group is MTU's parent company and said in March it planned to invest $45 million and create 250 jobs during the next four years. Tognum is based in Germany.

I'm debating on going back underground where I belong and leaving the OVC again. I have been kicked out of a group and I don't understand for what? I thought I was getting stronger and better but I'm thinking its hopeless anymore. I'm at a loss and what is the point anymore? I have nothing left? Why am I even online anymore? because there is nothing online but now there's nothing at all. TempleUVUP is all I have going for me and it seems to be dying out before it reaches 9 years online. I don't get how? People bitch about me being a whiny little cry baby but I guess I just don't get where people get there ideas I guess no one will ever get me and I don't try to offend people I just don't understand? WTF??? I guess I don't need people and will never understand. I was doing so well on handling my depression, bipolar (mood swings), my Anxiety, (high blood sugar causes mood swings), OCD, and thyroid condition which I struggle with every day. Its just fucked up it took one certain instance of being labeled as someone who harasses people. I have never harassed anyone and I am back to letting my emotions run my life but I guess that is my curse. I fucking hate being in this human mess!

Hennepin Theatre Trust announced this week that 56 schools will participate in the 2012-13 SpotLight Musical Theatre Program, including two schools in the Lake Minnetonka area. Now in its eighth year, SpotLight is the trust's flagship education initiative which honors, supports, provides training and advocates for Minnesota high school musical theatre students and programs.
Performances by students from both Mound Westonka High School (My Fair Lady) and Wayzata High School (The Sound of Music) will be part of this year's SpotLight Musical Theatre Program, which celebrates high school musicals and students by recognizing extraordinary achievements and helping to develop young talent in Minnesota's high school musical theatre programs.
Statewide, SpotLight musicals are made possible by the collaboration of almost 5,000 students and are annually seen by an estimated 105,000 audience members.
Schools and participating students will be honored at SpotLight's culminating event, the eighth annual SpotLight Showcase, held at 7 p.m., Monday, June 3, 2013 at the Orpheum Theatre. This gala evening recognizes high school musical theatre accomplishments by featuring dynamic student performances mixed with award presentations. Last year's event sold out and featured more than 800 Minnesota students performing on the Orpheum stage.
Hennepin Theatre Trust, owner of the historic Orpheum, State, Pantages and New Century Theatres, is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to arts-inspired community cultural development. The Trust established the SpotLight Musical Theatre Program after recognizing that none existed in Minnesota to honor excellence in high school musical theatre. The Trust supports participating schools by providing high-quality learning, performing and creative experiences for students to develop and empower the next generation of innovative arts leaders.
SpotLight's benefits include the opportunity to work with local and national theatre educators and musical theatre professionals who offer training, insight through critical feedback and on-site school workshops.
A group of evaluators is retained by the Trust to assess each production with constructive written commentary and nominate honorees. Categories include outstanding performance in leading, supporting and featured roles, outstanding performance by a chorus, dance ensemble and student orchestra, outstanding overall performance of a musical and outstanding overall production of a musical. Shows are not compared or ranked against each other, so categories may have multiple honorees.
Schools annually apply to participate and pay a nominal administration fee. SpotLightadvocates for the importance of high school musical theatre education to support the statewide community of theatre artists, teachers and families who participate in this art form.
This activity is funded, in part, by the Minnesota State Arts Board through the arts and cultural heritage fund as appropriated by the Minnesota State Legislature with money from the Legacy Amendment vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008.

RALEIGH — Police said Friday the man who robbed a Wake Forest Road check-cashing business and shot the clerk this week may be linked to other crimes, including a homicide.
Store employee Modesta Fernandez-Lucas, 25, was shot Wednesday night during the robbery of the Mexico Lindo at 4010 Wake Forest Road. Fernandez-Lucas suffered serious injuries in the shooting, Raleigh police spokesman Jim Sughrue said, but she was expected to survive.
On Friday night, police spokesman Jim Sughrue said the suspect may be involved in the April 10 slaying of Stephanie Powell Anderson, a clerk at the Wilco convenience store at 1741 Trawick Road. He is a suspect in at least five other 2008 robberies, Sughrue said.
Police released a video and photo from separate robberies in hopes of making an arrest.
WilcoHess has offered a $25,000 reward in the Anderson case.
Anyone with information is asked to call (919) 227-6220.

Looking at several of your recent shots, I am going to make a suggestion. Your jackets look odd. They have these closed quarters and look somewhat boxy. They also seem short, and have small lapels. Compounding this is low rise pants, where the waistline is clearly revealed by the high buttoning point of the jacket. It is making your legs look short, and your torso very long. That may very well be the way you are built, but there is no sense in wearing clothes that accentuate such. You would be served by clothes that offer a better balance. Mike
Edgar Allan Pwn - I think Mike hit it on the head with the fit suggestions. Also, the pocket square in this particular get-up doesn't add anything to the look. As for the tie, pattern aside, it seems to me that skinny ties like this only look good with either very fashion forward fits or retro fits....of which, yours is neither. Quite a step back from your last submission (with the orange tie and a great double FIH knot).

The countdown begins.
The Internal Revenue Service is offering taxpayers 14 tax tips with two weeks remaining before the tax deadline. Those who need more time to file should submit Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual income Tax Return to the IRS electronically or by paper no later than April 17.
"The IRS receives a lot of tax returns in April," said IRS Spokesman Raphael Tulino. "So take the time to file an accurate the first time and don't miss out on anything such as the Earned Income Tax Credit that could boost your refund." Below are 14 quick tips to consider as the deadline looms:
- The tax deadline this year is Tuesday, April 17 and not April 15 because April 15 falls on a Sunday in 2012 and April 16 is a District of Columbia-based holiday called Emancipation Day.
- Visit the IRS Website. More than 322 million visits were made to IRS.gov in 2011. Download, file, read, get answers, contact information and check the latest news…plus much more.
- Consider the ease and convenience of E-file and check into IRS Free File. About 80 percent of all returns are now e-filed. For those who make $57,000 or less, free tax software is offered through a private-public partnership with various software manufacturers called IRS Free File. Also, with the Fillable Forms feature, taxpayers can file a federal return for free no matter their income level.
- Choose Direct Deposit. Prepare a paperless tax return with direct deposit chosen for refunds.
- Avoid Common Errors such as transposed Social Security numbers, math errors or not signing the return.
- Don't procrastinate. Resist the temptation to put off your taxes until the very last minute.
- Request an automatic six month extension of time to file. Easy to do through tax software, a paper form 4868 or electronically through payment services.
- Choose a tax preparer wisely. No matter who prepares a tax return, the taxpayer is responsible for the information on it once signed.
- Get a Fresh Start. For those who are struggling and cannot full pay, IRS offers quick and easy solutions such as online installment agreements to make the process less stressful. The IRS would encourage a struggling taxpayer to file their return, pay some of what's owed and then contact the agency about their situation.
- Check into Volunteer Income Tax Assistance. Free tax preparation is available at hundreds of Southern California and Nevada VITA sites through April 17. Key qualifying requirements include income $50,000 or less and a simple return. Taxpayers can call 211 or check IRS.gov, keyword search VITA, to find one.
- Avoid scams and schemes that seem too good to be true. For example, the IRS is not going to initiate contact with taxpayers with an email alerting them to a refund. Also, be wary of unscrupulous promoters who may tempt senior citizens and other taxpayers into filing tax returns claiming fraudulent refunds.
- Don't miss out! Taxpayers should generally claim all deductions and/or credits that they are eligible for to lower their tax bill.
- Itemize or Standard Deduction? Taxpayers should take the one that affords them paying the least tax.
- Social Security Income. Generally, if Social Security benefits were a taxpayer's only income in 2011, those benefits are not taxable and a tax return probably does not need to be filed.

MARYVILLE, Tenn. (AP/WVLT) -- A Tennessee business has partnered with a nonprofit to begin building a private academy in East Tennessee that will focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
The Daily News reports the Clayton-Bradley STEM Academy would be among the first private STEM schools to open in the state. It is a collaborative effort between Clayton Homes and Innovative Education Partnership Inc.
Clayton Homes President and CEO Kevin Clayton says even though public schools are good in the area, parents want choices.
Ten children from Blount County joined other officials this month as they broke ground on the project. The facility is scheduled to open in July

The Good and Bad of Technical Analysis for Stock Investors
A trend is the overall direction of a stock (or another security or a commodity), an important consideration for investors considering whether to get in, stay in, or get out of a particular market.
A trend's length
With trends, you're not just looking at the direction; you're also looking at the trend's duration, or the length of time that it goes along. Trend durations can be (you guessed it) short-term, intermediate-term, or long-term.
A short-term (or near-term) trend is generally less than a month.
An intermediate-term trend is up to a quarter (three months) long.
A long-term trend can last up to a year. And to muddy the water a bit, the long-term trend may have several trends inside it (don't worry; the quiz has been cancelled).
A trendline is a simple feature added to a chart: a straight line designating a clear path for a particular trend. Trendlines simply follow the peaks and troughs to show a distinctive direction. They can also be used to identify a trend reversal, or a change in the opposite direction.
Here there are two trendlines: two straight lines that follow the tops and bottoms of the jagged line (which shows the actual price movement of the asset in question).
How to watch the channel for resistance and support
The concepts of resistance and support are critical to technical analysis the way tires are to cars. When the rubber meets the road, you want to know where the price is going.
Resistance is like the proverbial glass ceiling in the market's world of price movement. As a price keeps moving up, how high can or will it go? That's the $64,000 question, and technical analysts watch this closely. Breaking through resistance is considered a positive sign for the price, and the expectation is definitely bullish.
Support is the lowest point or level that a price is trading at. When the price goes down and hits this level, it's expected to bounce back, but what happens when it goes below the support level? It's then considered a bearish sign, and technical analysts watch closely for a potential reversal even though they expect the price to head down.
Channel lines are lines that are added to show both the peaks and troughs of the primary trend. The top line indicates resistance (of the price movement), and the lower line indicates support. Resistance and support form the trading range for the stock's price.
The channel can slope or point upward or downward, or go sideways. Technical traders view the channel with interest because the assumption is that that the price will continue in the direction of the channel (between resistance and support) until technical indicators signal a change.
Check out the channel below; it shows you how the price is range-bound. The emphasis on trends is to help you make more profitable decisions because you're better off trading with the trend than not.
Here you see a good example of a channel for a particular stock. In this case, the stock is zigzagging downward, and toward the end of the channel, it indicates that the stock is getting more volatile as the stock's price movement is outside the original channel lines. This tells the trader/investor to be cautious and on the lookout for opportunities or pitfalls (depending on your outlook for the stock).
