2012 Business Tax Symposium -- Register Now
Posted: May 22, 2012
Time is running out!
Reserve your place now at the Colorado Business Tax Symposium in Denver on Friday, July 6, Denver City Marriott.
In one session, learn what you need to know about Colorado state and local tax requirements. Several Colorado home-rule cities will be participating and discussing their requirements surrounding sales/use tax collection and remittance. Why should I attend?
Even if you are not physically located in the participating cities, you may have a "nexus," also known as "a business presence," in these areas and may need to collect tax on your transactions.
The symposium wraps up with a Colorado Department of Revenue session covering myths about state sales and use tax requirements.
Mail your registration form by June 1, 2012 to guarantee your seat, as pre-registration is required and reservation forms are accepted by postal mail only.
Discounted overnight room rates are available.

Contractors who have spent years trying to make money often fail to think about how they will protect their assets once it's time to sell or close down the business. But this decision has important legal ramifications, and your goal should be to do it in the cleanest possible manner.
While there are several ways to leave a business, the most common is to simply close the doors or transfer it to someone else, usually by sale. Many of the issues involved in closing a business are routine, like paying taxes and notifying customers. You'll need to close out accounts with vendors and formally terminate your licenses and leases. Don't assume that licenses will lapse on their own: Some states will come after you for past-due registration fees.
Just as it takes planning to protect your assets while you're in business, the same is true once the business is closed or sold. Here in California, there's a particularly high hurdle to clear — a 10-year statute of limitations for latent construction defects. A contractor's clients and their successors have up to 10 years to sue GCs for latent defects, which are most frequently related to water intrusion. The periods of legal exposure are shorter for other kinds of complaints, but typically a contractor can be sued for breach of contract or breach of warranty for up to four years after completion of the project.
As an attorney, I am concerned less about the exact defect than about the fact that my clients are at risk for
10 years, even after they retire or sell the business. There are similar liability laws in other states. The precise rules vary by state, and different types of liability are subject to different statutes of limitations, but typically a builder is exposed to liability for between three and six years after a project's completion.
In some cases, the clock does not start ticking until the defect is discovered. Contractors are frequently subject to a different set of rules than other businesses, so to be certain, check with a local attorney who specializes in construction law.
Sole owner vs. corporation. How to best protect yourself when you close or sell depends on the kind of business entity you have — sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, or limited liability company (LLC). Most of my clients have sole proprietorships or corporations, so I'll stick to those in this article.
The sole proprietor typically faces the most difficult — and expensive — choices. One possibility is to "self-insure," which is another way of saying to cross your fingers and hope for the best. If problems arise with past construction projects, you'll have to either make the repairs, pay someone else to make them, or pay the clients if they prevail against you in a lawsuit. In some circumstances, you could be forced to pay the attorney fees for both sides. Considering all the things that can go wrong on a construction project, I would never recommend that a sole proprietor self-insure. If things go truly wrong, all your personal assets will be at risk.
Tail insurance. One way to protect yourself is by purchasing a "tail policy" from your insurance company if one is available. Tail coverage protects you against claims stemming from projects completed in the past. It's expensive, but if you've done a steady volume of work, the rates should fall as the clock winds down on the projects covered. A tail policy needs to run for as long as the statute of limitations, and will usually cover only liability related to construction defects; it will not cover breach of warranty or breach of contract.
Semiretirement an option. Another possibility would be to maintain your current liability policy. This could be a good strategy for a couple of reasons. First, in some states, defect litigation has made tail policies hard to get. Also, as an insurance broker recently told me, most contractors never really retire: Keeping your policy in place while doing occasional jobs as a "semiretired" builder can be an attractive option.
Skipping the practical problem of finding a buyer, if you do sell you can create an agreement that apportions risk for claims. It's common practice for a buyer to accept the business "as is," including liability for past actions. This isn't as strange as it sounds: In many cases, the buyer is a longtime employee who is in a position to know the quality of past work.
Indemnification. The sales contract will typically contain an indemnity clause, a negotiated agreement about who will pay for problems that arise on past projects. Because it's negotiated, the party with the most leverage tends to get the best protection. If the seller is calling the shots, the sale will probably be "as is" and he will be indemnified by the buyer. If the buyer is calling the shots, it will be the other way around.
Insurance also plays a role. There is less risk if the company being sold has always been covered by a liability policy. If the existing policy remains in place during the ownership change, that too will mitigate risk. It would be up to the insurance broker to decide whether to cover the company once it changes hands.
Contractors who incorporate usually do so to protect their personal noncorporate assets during the time they are in business. If the shareholders dissolve the corporation when they shut down the business, they place themselves in the same boat as the sole proprietor. The corporation will no longer shield them from liability. Thus, unless the new owners purchase a tail policy, they will have to self-insure.
It's perhaps better for the shareholders to keep the corporation going until all the statutes of limitations or potential claims against them have expired. The shareholders would continue to file their yearly paperwork with the state and pay the required yearly fee. The corporation would have no income, so only the minimum tax would be due. Here in California, the annual tax is $800 — a lot less than a tail policy, and a small price to pay to protect your assets. Additionally, the shareholders could opt for the "belt and suspenders" approach and add a tail policy, too.
When you sell a corporation, you are selling corporate shares. The most likely buyer would be an employee, a competitor, or another shareholder. Corporations are chartered by individual states, so there are probably as many rules governing the sale of corporate stock as there are states. Because of this and the absolute need for some kind of written agreement, both parties should consult attorneys when a corporation changes hands.

You Wet The Bed
Ok, you're seemingly a lot drunker than I am and you stink of cigarettes but yeah sure, I'll make out with you for a while. Cool, you're kissing my neck and nibbling my ear, oh wait YOU TONGUE IS IN MY EAR CANAL. MAKE IT STOP. Oh that's handy, you passed out on the bed, crisis averted.
A few hours later I wake up next to you and my sheets are wet, that's weird. My glass of water is empty so maybe one of us spilt it, I'll allow it…wait a minute…the water is from around your crotch. That's not water, that's your urine. When I shake you awake to politely let you know that you wet my bed, no, soaked my bed. You shrug and say 'it happens'. 'It happens' was acceptable 20 years ago but I am disgusted and have to sleep on this mattress every night. Wetting the bed is one thing but being so nonchalant about it is is quite another. I'm sorry but get out of bed and out of my life. No, I don't even want to be friends with a bed wetter.

You can find answers to your crop production questions on Farm Journal's "Ask an Agronomist" blog. A team of Farm Journal agronomists and experts responds to questions sent to email@example.com based on their independent experience and in-the-field insight. Here are four questions and answers from the blog:
Q This year we had spots in the corn field that were black and dead early, with no ears on them. What would have caused these?
A There could have been multiple issues leading to no-ear stalks. One that we look for first is corn nematodes. They could have put enough stress on the plants, in conjunction with the drought, that the plants died early. You can confirm a problem with a soil sample. Evaluate corn nematodes in particular if you're in a cornon-corn rotation.
Some of the problem could be related to soil type. What is your ground's water-holding capacity? Some soils are able to hold more water than others. Did you notice whether you had any pockets of ground (from the size of a pickup to a house) that had barren stalks?
We saw this problem in three places and excavated the pockets of ground. There was a noticeable difference in the soil moisture at 18" to 20" deep in those pockets. When we got to a depth of 4' to 5' under the dead areas, we were finding bands of sand or gravel in the soil. Those bands of sand and gravel restrict water from moving up to where corn roots can access it, causing a perched water table.
In years with normal rainfall, the water table is high enough, but when it's pulled below a certain level, as it was this year, the corn burns up. That was our preliminary finding this year.
Q Many of the farmers in North Dakota have forgone wheat plantings in their traditional rotation and are going to soybeans after soybeans for multiple years. What should they consider for soil health, disease prevention, etc., to maintain viable plants and yield?
A I would encourage farmers to entertain planting a cover crop such as rye. That will give them some diversity and complement soil health as far as soil structure and aggregate ability.
Q I didn't have much of a corn crop this year, and the weeds turned some of my fields into a jungle. Would it be OK to moldboard plow those fields, just to get rid of the weeds?
A That's a pretty radical option, but it might help bury weed seed that's present so it doesn't sprout and interfere with next year's crop.
For plowing to be effective, you must understand each weed species that's out there because some weed seeds need to be buried longer than others. I'd avoid plowing if you can, but if your weed seed bank is completely out of control, then that mightbe a good option.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner sought an elusive compromise Tuesday to prevent automatic economy-damaging tax increases and spending cuts at year's end, conferring by phone after a secretive exchange of proposals.
Many economists say failure to reach a deal that would pull the U.S. economy back from the Jan. 1 "fiscal cliff" that would trigger a combination of tax increases and spending cuts could push the country back into economic recession.
Details were sparse and evidence of significant progress scarcer still, although officials said the president had offered to reduce his initial demand for $1.6 trillion in higher tax revenue over a decade to $1.4 trillion.
There was no indication Obama was relenting on his insistence — strongly opposed by most Republicans — that tax rates rise at upper incomes.
Both sides say they want a deal to prevent damage to the economy, but that stated commitment has been accompanied by a fierce battle to gain the political high ground in negotiations — and the occasional comment that one side or the other would be willing to let the deadline pass without a deal unless it got acceptable terms.
Republicans acknowledge that Obama has an advantage in one respect, citing his re-election last month after a race in which he made higher taxes on the wealthy a centerpiece of his campaign.
At the same time, Republicans hold powerful leverage of their own, the certainty that by spring the president will be forced to ask Congress to raise the government's borrowing authority. It was just such a threat that previously allowed them to extract $1 trillion in spending cuts from the White House and Democratic lawmakers, a situation that Obama has vowed he won't let happen again.
Boehner sounded unimpressed by the White House negotiating position in remarks on the House floor at midday.
"The longer the White House slow-walks this process, the closer our economy gets to the fiscal cliff," he said, declaring that Obama had yet to identify specific cuts to government benefit programs that as part of an agreement that also would raise federal tax revenue.
The house speaker made his comments well before he and the president talked by phone about attempts to avert a "fiscal cliff."
In rebuttal, the White House swiftly detailed numerous proposals Obama has made to cut spending, including recommendations to cull $340 billion from Medicare, the government program that provides health care to the elderly, over a decade and an additional $250 billion from other government benefit programs.
Boehner's office took the step — unusual in secretive talks — of announcing that Republicans "sent the White House a counteroffer that would achieve tax and entitlement reform to solve our looming debt crisis and create more American jobs."
Obama dispatched a top aide, Rob Nabors, to the Capitol for talks afterwards.
Democrats have watched with satisfaction in recent days as Republicans struggle with Obama's demands to raise taxes, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has privately told his rank and file they could soon be feeling the same distress if discussions grow serious on cuts to benefit programs.
Coincidentally, in an ABC interview, Obama did not reject a Republican call to raise the age of Medicare eligibility from 65 to 67, a proposal that many Democrats strongly oppose.
The proposal is "something that's been floated," Obama said, not mentioning that he had tacitly agreed to it in deficit-reduction talks with Boehner more than a year ago that ended in failure.
In his noontime remarks on the House floor, Boehner said, "Let's be honest. We're broke. The plan we offered is consistent with the president's call for a balanced approach."
Obama's plan would raise $1.6 trillion in revenue over 10 years, in part by raising tax rates on incomes over $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples. He has recommended $400 billion in spending cuts over a decade.
He also is seeking extension of a payroll tax cut due to expire on Jan. 1, a continuation in long-term unemployment benefits and steps to help hard-pressed homeowners and doctors who treat Medicare patients.
The White House summary noted that Obama last year signed legislation to cut more than $1 trillion from government programs over a decade, and was proposing $600 billion in additional savings from benefit programs.
It also noted that the health care law that Obama signed into law showed savings of $100 billion. Much or all of that funding came from Medicare, even though Obama's aides insisted during his successful campaign for re-election that he had not made any cuts in that program.
Boehner's plan, in addition to calling for $800 billion in new revenue, envisions $600 billion in savings over a decade from Medicare, Medicaid and other government health programs as well as $300 billion from other benefit programs and another $300 billion from other domestic programs.
It would trim annual increases in Social Security payments to beneficiaries, and it calls for gradually raising the eligibility age for Medicare from 65 to 67, beginning in a decade.
Associated Press writers David Espo, Ben Feller, Jim Kuhnhenn and Donna Cassata contributed to this story.

Analysis: Noah was injured early in training camp and missed the Bulls' first three preseason games before playing 19 minutes Wednesday night against the Detroit Pistons. Afterward, he said he felt "great," but the soreness in the groin returned on Thursday. If Noah does sit out exactly a week, that would give him four days to get in playing shape before the team's regular-season opener against the Miami Heat on Oct. 29.

National Scholarships for Veterans
The Google-SVA Scholarship program is focused on rewarding high caliber student veterans pursuing a degree in the Computer Science field. The goals of the Google-SVA Scholarship are to:
- To identify high-performing student veterans in the Computer Science field, and to reward achievement and encourage further study through the scholarship program. To affect the retention of student veterans in the Computer Science field by providing recognition and funds needed for university expenses, such as tuition, books and lab fees.
- To help foster communities of students through Google sponsored events like the Annual Scholars' Retreats. The Scholars Retreat is an all-expenses paid retreat for the scholarship winners for that academic year. It provides an important networking opportunity for the top students from all over the US to meet with each other, and with Google engineers in a personable and fun environment.
All application materials must be received by SVA no later than 11:59pm PST on December 2, 2013.
The Internship Support Program (ISP)
The Internship Support Program provides student veterans with a monthly stipend to offset the financial burden of an unpaid internship. We recognize that student veterans are nontraditional students with financial obligations. Some student veterans use their GI Bill benefits as a primary source of income. This may cause student veterans to choose between taking max course loads to support their financial obligations and finding paid employment.
The Internship Support Program was originally underwritten by the Call of Duty Endowment, an organization focused on combating veterans unemployment, in the Fall semester of 2011. Since the majority of unpaid internships open in the Summer semester term, SVA will now host the program during the Summer semester.
Application for the ISP open February 15, 2012. Sign In or Register To Apply
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) Scholarship
Much like the original GI Bill recipients of the 1940s and 50s, today's veterans will bring invaluable skills and spirit to businesses, nonprofits, and government agencies. These student veterans have the potential to usher in a new generation of American progress and to address some of our nation's most pressing needs. Other countries are quickly eclipsing our excellence in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). To compete in tomorrow's global economy we need to continue to develop new scientists, engineers, and mathematicians at home. Student veterans are well equipped to answer that challenge.
The STEM Scholarship will be awarded to one (1) recipient for $10,000 and will incentivize students pursuing STEM degrees to achieve academic excellence. It will also encourage potential STEM students to enter the field and endure the rigorous course work. Eligible students must maintain a minimum of a 3.3 GPA in an accredited science, technology, engineering, or mathematics program. The SVA STEM Scholarship will be awarded to one (1) student veteran for the 2012-13 academic year.

SVA Yellow Ribbon Scholarship
The GI Bill fails to adequately support student veterans that are attending private institutions or out-of-state public universities. Under current law, the Post 9/11 GI Bill supports student veterans at the highest in-state tuition rate. Universities do have an option to help supplement this cost through the Department of Veterans Affairs Yellow Ribbon Program. The Department of Veterans Affairs matches every dollar that the university pledges to the Yellow Ribbon fund. However, some universities have failed to adequately fund the Yellow Ribbon Program, or even sign on to support student veterans.
To help student veterans at schools with limited Yellow Ribbon Programs, or those colleges without one entirely, SVA has created the Yellow Ribbon Scholarship, a $10,000 need-based award. It will support any student veteran at a private or out-of-state university that has demonstrated academic excellence, but is facing an undue financial burden. The SVA Yellow Ribbon Scholarship will be awarded to one (1) student veteran for the 2012-13 academic year.

Legendary labor leader to address the 21st National Conference on LGBT Equality: Creating Change!
Roberta Sklar, Communications Director
(Office) 646.358.1465
(Cell) 917.704.6358
Dolores Huerta builds grassroots political power at
the Creating Change conference!
Workshop proposal deadline: September 30, 2008
Early bird conference registrations accepted
until: November 30, 2008
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16 — Co-founder of the United Farm Workers Union, legendary social justice heroine and leader Dolores Huerta will address the 21st National Conference on LGBT Equality: Creating Change on Thursday, Jan. 29, 2009, in Denver, Colo.
The Task Force is accepting proposals for workshops, training sessions and caucuses at the Creating Change Conference, convening Jan. 28–Feb. 1, 2009, in Denver. Proposals must be submitted through the online submission process. Complete information about session proposals and the online form can be found at www.creatingchange.org. The proposal deadline is Sept. 30, 2008.
A strong advocate and leading Latina voice for full equality for LGBT people, Huerta recently recorded a bilingual advertising message urging California voters to reject Proposition 8, the proposed amendment to that state's Constitution that would strip away the freedom of same-sex couples to legally marry.
Huerta serves as president of the Dolores Huerta Foundation, dedicated to building the grassroots political power of farm workers, union members and neighborhood activists. Through the Dolores Huerta Community Organizing Institute, the foundation helps people become leaders in their communities, to make real and concrete progress for individuals and for communities, and to change power dynamics in our society.
She co-founded the United Farm Workers Union (UFW) in 1962 with Cesar Chavez and, with Chavez, launched a movement to empower migrant farm workers and to improve their lives and the lives of their children. In September of 2003, Dolores was appointed to the Board of Regents for the University of California system. She also serves on the boards of the Feminist Majority and People for the American Way.
Conference registrations are now being accepted. The early bird registration rate of $250 is available until Nov. 30, 2008. Registrations and hotel reservations at the Grand Hyatt Denver, the host hotel for Creating Change, can be made online at www.creatingchange.org.
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the grassroots power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. We do this by training activists, equipping state and local organizations with the skills needed to organize broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

Harold Iggy R.I.P., one of the worlds most experienced and innovative surfboard shapers
Harold Iggy R.I.P., died on Big Wednesay, January 4th from an apparent heart attack.In the sixties,he was a team rider and shaper for Dewey Weber in which he shaped and designed the Weber Performer and around 1970 he designed and shaped the Weber "Pig",a board with an outline that would fit in perfect for today's surfing and could be the first no-nose "wide point way behind center"shortboard ever made.After shaping for various companies like Weber,Rich Parr and Mystic surfboards,He started his own in the early 70's in Pearl City called "The Surfboard Shaping Company".
He quickly recruited my brother Bobby as a team rider along with a group of west side shredders like Bird Mahilona,Reynolds Wright and a surfer who a lot of people credit as the real inventor of the layback,Guy Pilago.He also picked up top Hawaii woman pro surfer Lynn Boyer.He was my brother Bobby's mentor stirring him in the path to a successful surfing career and shaping his boards from the early seventies and shaped all of his boards when he became a top world touring pro.He still shaped Bobby's boards up to his passing.Harold always looked toward the future when it came to shaping.The most humble man ever,in the sixties noted as one of the best surfers in Hawaii,Harold was cut like Bruce Lee and at 71 years old,
He was in better shape than anyone his age and was a 4th degree black belt in the traditional style Jiu Jitsu..He also shaped all of my boards ,my brother Gary's boards and all my other friends when we were groms living in Pearl City back in the day.In 2006,He sponsored me when I paddled the Hawaiian chain by shaping me the most awesome open ocean paddleboard.Harold was the man behind Naish Hawaii,Harold was a waterman's shaper,Kai Lenny,Robbie Naish, Guy Pilago, Bird Mahilona,Reynolds Wright, Lynn Boyer ,Sean Monahan "two time Molokai to Oahu paddleboard champion ,these people turned to Harold including my Brother Bobby and my self because we all knew Harold was a genius who could always figure things out when all else failed.Harold was a Man who hated no one, had no enemies and anyone who knew him Loved him.Harold died in no better of a place, testing his latest design in the waters of Lanikai.For my Family he was definitely a haunai uncle and will be sincerely missed by everyone in this world who were honored to know him.

Carl Orff
Carl Orff, equally at home as a composer and man of the theatre, humanist and educationalist, achieved worldwide fame with his »Carmina Burana«.
The variety of his works for the stage in which he combined inspiration from Mediaeval mystery plays, folk tales from his Bavarian roots, fairy tales from around the world and Greek tragedy bears witness to the creative power of one of the most outstanding artistic personalities of the 20th century.
The Orff-Schulwerk, an educational concept for elemental education in music and movement which has been disseminated worldwide in over thirty countries, has had a significant impact on musical education for children around the world for over fifty years.

text: You all know what I have gone through since April 2012, with the last heartbreak being last Monday. I have had an offer from my sister that I would love to jump on(being that I can get dh on board). My sister has offered to be a surrogate for me, since my body just cannot handle being pg anymore. We would be using my eggs and dh's sperm, so the baby would be 100% us. You know what I mean. My sister has offered to pay for all of the costs,so all I would need to do is show up for all the visits and do what I need to do for the process. On one hand, I'm thinking heck yeah, am I stupid for even having doubts. Then on the other hand, I'm thinking that maybe GOD taking my precious babies is his way of telling me that I don't need another baby and I'm finished. I have not discussed it with my dh yet but know it will be doing a lot of convincing to get him on board. I am making an apt with my RE to talk with him and get his thoughts on surrogacy. I know nothing is wrong with dh or myself genetically, so we are ABLE to produce a healthy child, just me not carry it. What questions should I ask at that apt? What would you all do? Am I crazy for even considering this? I've talked with a friend and she says go for it. But I need others thoughts and opinions as well. I value your opinions and will appreciate any input ya'll have, whether it be good or bad.

While the sink itself is gorgeous, I found the description to be incorrect. The description stated the color was copper. Well, it was, but not in the way I thought it would be. The outside of the sink bowl was painted copper, so you didn't actually see the glass, but the paint. If it is to be undermounted, this wouldn't be a problem. Mine was to be set on top of the counter, so the painted outside was a detriment for me. Also, I found the coloring that showed through the glass on the inside of the bowl to be more gold than copper, so it didn't go with my bathroom very well. Don't get me wrong. This is a beautiful sink. I loved the texture. I just didn't care for the color and that the outside of the bowl was painted and not colored glass.
First time ordering with Overstock - WOW I am impressed. I looked for weeks went to every store in my the area looking for this color, amber, touch of copper and etc. The price for some where from $1500 and up. I was searching the Web and found this. What a price and the picture on the internet is beautiful but in person it looks like the $1500 - 2000 one I saw in a showroom. I thought this is going to be tacky for the price - well I was wrong and LOVE it!! My neighbors are shocked and now shopping. I still have lots to add to the remodeling and I will be shopping more on this site. Don't hesitate to buy this I can't tell you how excited. I check the order and click on UPS to see when it would arrive today it came I couldn't get off work soon enough to see it. Love it!!
for powder room. Looks great. Was a little concerned about the orange outside of the bowl (that's what gives it the color on the inside) because it was a surface mount, but it is fine. Love how it looks in the powder room. Not sure I would have it in a regular bathroom (bowl is really big) but very striking.
A good value for a vessel sink...the color pictured is fairly accurate, although the color value is brighter. Quality is excellent and compares to sinks priced much higher...
Much bigger than I though it would be. Big and bold. Will be a focus for our small bath no doubt.
Beautiful vessel. Very contemporary, good quality. Be advised the overall color is a very bright copper, almost orange. I was expecting it to be a more subdued copper but it is a stunning piece. Shopped locally for vessel sinks, the price for this piece is very reasonable.
Received this vessel and was extremely pleased when I opened the box. The color, design and weight was impressive. I'm having a new vanity counter top installed and when the representative from the granite company saw it, he even commented on how nice it was. I would recommend this vessel to friends and family. It hasn't been installed yet, but I can't wait.

It appears the Columbus Blue Jackets have decided on their next coach and now must wait for an answer.
According to the Columbus Dispatch, the Blue Jackets have extended an offer to Guy Boucher, the curent head coach of the Hamilton Bulldogs, the American Hockey League affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens.
NHL sources told the Dispatch that Boucher is sitting on the offer this weekend with plans to give his response to Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson sometime next week.
In his first year in the AHL, Boucher guided the Bulldogs to a first place finish in the Western Conference with 115 points. The team was upset by the Texas Stars in the Conference Finals last month.
The report indicates that Boucher was interviewed twice by Howson in the last few weeks.
Before joining the Blue Jackets, Howson was the general manager of the Bulldogs as a member of the Edmonton Oilers organization.

November 26, 2013, 8:56 PM — A research paper speculating Bitcoin's creator may have transferred US$60,000 to the Silk Road marketplace has been dispelled, as the account holder in question came forward on Tuesday, denying he is the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto.
Dustin Trammell, a security researcher who is CEO of the vulnerability marketplace ExploitHub, wrote in a blog post that the Israeli researchers failed in their analysis, which was subject to blistering criticism from the bitcoin community.
"I hope this puts to rest any further speculation regarding whether or not I am Satoshi Nakamoto and whether or not I have had any involvement with the Silk Road," Trammell wrote. "I am not and have not."
The paper was written by Adi Shamir and Dorit Ron of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. Shamir is a noted cryptographer credited with co-creating the RSA encryption algorithm, which is widely used to protect corporate data.
In an email to IDG News Service, Shamir defended their work, writing that "we were extremely careful in our choice of words and repeatedly stressed that we have no proof."
In four paragraphs at the end of their 13-page paper, Shamir and Ron described a 1,000-bitcoin transaction, worth around $60,000 at the time, sent in March. It came from a bitcoin account established just a week after the system launched in 2009, a so-called "founder" account.
Many of the early bitcoin accounts are believed to be controlled by the person who supposedly created Bitcoin, who used "Satoshi Nakamoto" as a pseudonym.
Their analysis claimed the virtual currency eventually ended up in another account belonging to DPR, short for "Dread Pirate Roberts," who controlled the Silk Road marketplace. U.S. federal prosecutors allege DPR is 29-year-old Ross William Ulbricht, who faces murder-for-hire, narcotics trafficking and computer hacking charges.
Trammell wrote that he sent the 1,000 bitcoins to Mt. Gox, the Tokyo-based bitcoin exchange, "for trading purposes."
"Mt. Gox should be able to easily confirm that they indeed control this destination address," he wrote.
Although the researchers hedged on the claim, their wording was strong enough to suggest that they might have spotted something stunning.
"The short path we found suggests (but does not prove) the existence of a surprising link between the two mysterious figures of the Bitcoin community, Satoshi Nakamoto and DPR."
The paper touched off a firestorm of criticism on Reddit. By studying Bitcoin's public ledger of transactions, called the "blockchain," commentators quickly cast doubt on it.

A 42-year-old woman struck by a pickup truck in a Provo crosswalk Wednesday morning died from her injuries at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center.
Rosa Merino fatally injured while crossing westbound at the intersection of 700 N. University Avenue, about three blocks from Brigham Young University, said Provo police Lt. Mathew Siufanua. It was 6:20 a.m. and still dark when the 1987 GMC pickup driven by a 49-year-old Provo man hit her.

Initially, dispatchers were told the woman was not breathing and had no pulse. Witnesses began CPR, and when paramedics arrived they were able to find a faint pulse before the woman was taken from the scene by ambulance, Siufanua said.
However, doctors declared the woman dead at 8:20 a.m.
Police said Merino was a single mother with three girls ages 16, 14 and 12. The children told police that their mother was walking to work at the time because their vehicle's brakes were bad.

When it comes to spearfishing, Westside Dive and Tackle founder Kris Tyler considers using scuba tanks as cheating. So when he suits up to spearfish, the seasoned outdoorsman plunges 20 feet below the water's surface, holds his breath in the stillness, and waits: "You become a part of the reef or rock, and you wait for the perfect situation—for the one fish that might give you that really good shot." A self-described "water baby," Kris has been swimming and fishing in Hawaii and Florida since childhood. Most of all, he loves the way spearfishing enables him to connect with the underwater universe and partake in a tradition Hawaiians have enriched for generations.
In addition to his spearfishing expeditions, Mr. Tyler totes explorers to his favorite sunken wrecks and lava caverns off the coast of Oahu on scuba-diving charters, and equips them to chart their own expeditions or challenge blowfish to staring contests during scuba-diving certification.
Frank Uehara watched as his neighbor, who had just returned from Japan, showed him a new piece of gear?an airsoft gun powered by springs and gas. Frank was intrigued as he held the pellet gun, and began to practice the sport. But as airsoft grew over the next 30 years and Frank continued to pursue it, he came to realize that many airsoft fields were unwieldy for first-time players and saw his chance to change that. At Action Pursuit Hawaii's outdoor field, he provides an easy introduction for first-time airsoft players while also welcoming competitors of all skill levels into challenging play. The facility?s safety officials remain on hand to oversee players who blast pellets at competitors and exchange witty Shakespearean taunts from behind the field?s giant tilted plastic columns and plywood barricades.
Marksmen weave in and out of buildings clustered on Kapolei Airsoft's barricade- and obstacle-littered fields, an expansive urban terrain that accommodates up to two indoor and outdoor bouts at a time. Under the watchful eye of trained field officials, participants clad in face protection commence contests that simulate military scenarios, urban combat, and armed square dancing. Before firing off 6mm BBs fashioned from ABS plastic at opposing teams, players run through safety instructions at pre-game briefings. Visitors can join new rounds of combat––lasting until midnight every Friday and Saturday––during walk-on contests, via membership outings, or through one of Kapolei Airsoft's party packages.

no o o m DSSQD a, CDS LSOErciOEr cU it-:-' V : V V The library issue at Weber State is still unsettled. Weber Staters still do not know if money will be appropriated by the state legislature for library improvements.The past few weeks students, faculty, and staff at Weber have been confronted with fact sheets, flyers, signs, petitions, and stories indicating that the college library was deficient and that due to the deficiencies WSC could lose accreditation. Many groups on campus have become involved in the library funding issue and have launched campaigns supporting the need for funds. The campaigns are aimed at making students aware of Weber's needs, and making legislators equally aware of the i ! y i v&AStetjig&Xs1. .... Al Belt, Blue Key Honor Society President and Brent Hol-brook, Phi Kappa Psi President present the Weber State College library a check for $50.00 to kick off the "Bucks for BOOkS" Campaign. (Photo by Clark Taylor) existing situation in the hope that the legislators will act on behalf of WSC when budget hearings are reviewed. Student Government at Weber has organized a Student Action Committee. This committee has collected data concerning the library and have issued a series of flyers in an effort to acquaint students with the problems now facing the library. The Student Action Committee is also sponsoring petitions which will be sent to each of the legislators. The petitions will be distributed soon. Blue Key is sponsoring a "Bucks for Books campaign. The "Bucks for Books" drive goes into its second and final week Monday. Senate President Craig Tolton asked school senators in this week's session to support the drive. "We're asking each Weber State student to dig down deep in order to provide a better library," says Phi Kappa Phi Vice President Brent Holbrook. "The standard donation is five dollars," says Blue Key President Al Belt. "That donation will not completely pay for a book," he explains, "but the student donation will be supplemented by library and departmental funds." Each student who gives five dollars will be able to determine which department will get the money. He may also dedicate the book to a person of his choice, according to Belt. The student will also be informed of which book he has helped to purchase. Blue Key National Honor Fraternity initiated the drive with advice from the Student Action Committee which is coordinating efforts to improve Weber State's library. The Fraternity presented the library with $50 for the rare book collection on trains to kick-off the campaign. "This drive must involve every student," says Belt. "It isn't a Blue Key drive or a Student Action Committee drive," says Belt, "its a drive for each Weber State student and for those to come." Students may contribute their "Bucks for Books" in the Student Union. The Weber State Studentbody Officers have unanimously declared their support of the drive. "If the legislature gives us money to expand the library they will only expand the space not the number of books," points out Activities Vice President Dick Brown. "That's why this project is so important," he continues. "We're behind it all the way. Besides," says Brown, "it's tax deductible." Students only have until Feb. 12 (next Friday) to contribute," says chairman Belt. "We urge each student to contribute and to do it now!" The SIGNPOST has also initiated a campaign and students can show their concern over Weber's library inadequacies by joining the SIGNPOST'S Letters to Legislators campaign, according to Dean Thompson, academic editor. Letters may be left at either union building information desk until midnight Tuesday. The letters should not be antagonistic, but should express your concern over the inadequate library facilities. Address the letters to your county representatives, in care of the Utah State Legislature, State Capitol Building, Salt Lake City, Utah. Davis County students should write to: Sen. Haven J. Barlow, Sen. Ezra T. Clark, Rep. John P. Redd, Rep. J. Dean Hill, Rep. Robert M. Arbuckle, Rep. Rebecca Nalder, and Rep. Kenneth W. Gardner. Students from Weber County can write to Sen. Merrill Jenkins, Sen. Monte Bailey, Sen. E. Lamar Buckner, Rep. C. DeMont Judd, Rep. Ronald T. Halverson, Rep. Dallas H. Buckway, and Rep. Brian Florence. I Volume 30, Number 29 Weber State College, Ogden, Utah 84403 Friday, February 5, 1971 Army approves ROTC at WSC but Senate withholds acceptance The Army has approved Weber State for a Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) Unit, but the student Senate wants to investigate studentbody desires before it approves of the school's acceptance.Early last December Dean of Students Alan J. Dayley asked the Senate to reaffirm the findings of last year's Senate which approved the acceptance of ROTC. At that time the Senate decided to launch a new poll to determine if Weber State students do indeed want the unit on campus as was shown by last year's poll. The Senate commissioned Tim Ahern and his polling committee to conduct the investigation but Ahern has produced no poll in the intervening seven weeks. Monday's Senate meeting saw Dean Dayley again asking for some action on the matter, but the Senate was still unwilling to act without consulting their constituents through Ahern's committee. Dean Dayley explained that action must be taken soon because sophomores who are interested in becoming candidates for the two year program must be selected by March 15, just six weeks away. "If there are no objections," said Dayley, "we shall move forward on the program as outlined unless a change of direction is forthcoming from the students. Senator Bill Chyne (At Large) responded: "I strongly object, all systems should hold. I'm afraid the administration will present us with a 'fait accompli' as it did with the library hours decision ... they're going to have to trust the students enough to wait while we investigate." Acting Senator Kathy Butler (sitting in for Jolene Randall) pointed out that the administration has already waited two months on a polling committee which appears to be dragging its feet. She said that the Senate can not wait much longer to make its approval or disapproval decision. Her remarks were applauded by Senate President Craig Tolton, Senator Glen Curtis (At Large) and Dean Dayley. Most Senators spoke out on the issue. Senator Greg Kemp (Business): "The trouble seems to be in the polling committee." Senator Kim Slater (Sophomore Class) : "We need a deadline date for the completion of the poll." Craig Tolton: "The administration has already received Senate approval last year." Senator Mike Sanders (Arts, Letters and Science) directed a question to Dr. Dayley, "Once this animal is on campus, if we decide it isn't working, can we get it off?" Dayley answered; "Yes, it has no tenure status. Like any other department it can be taken off campus." Curtis Smout yielded the floor to Financial Vice President Brent Miller who told the senators that college President William P. Miller has asked that the poll not be taken until students have a chance to be informed of the pros and cons of the ROTC program. After extended discussion the Senate set Feb. 19 as the deadline date for the poll to be conducted. It also established Feb. 22 as the deadline date for the report of the polling committee's findings to the Senate. In case the poll is not completed, the Senate voted 6 to 5 to accept last year's poll which showed high student interest in the ROTC program. Tickets on scb Tickets for the Weber State versus Utah State University basketball game go on sale tomogrow at 6 a.m. in the WSC gymnasium. The east doors- of the gymnasium will be opened at 5 a.m. and only one ticket per student with student ID will be sold. Only about 500 tickets will be sold. The cost is $2.50. .

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

The Complete Guide to Compulsive Skin Picking Disorders
Identify your symptom, Find your cause, Treat your case
My name is David Florendale. I used to pick my skin. I suffered from a disorder called Compulsive Skin Picking (or Dermatillomania).
When I first decided to stop picking, I didn't even know there's a name to it. That was in 2003. I've been researching this disorder ever since.
Chances are that if you're reading these words, you have this disorder. If you want to stop picking, I might be able to help you.
How to stop picking?Most common question I'm being asked is: "how to stop picking my skin?". You're probably asking the same question. And it's a good thing. Most people don't.
People who suffer from it do a good job hiding it. They usually are very secretive about their compulsion, and often don't seek help, sometimes not even knowing what's wrong with them. The result is that Compulsive Skin Picking is much more common than you would think. For example: as much as 4% of all college students have picking compulsions. That's a huge number of people, to name only one demographic.
Since sufferers don't reach out for help, not much is known about this disorder. It gets little attention from scientists and doctors in terms of research. There's almost no literature on this subject. And there's currently no pill that can cure it.
However, there are few treatment methods that work.
The most important decision you're going to make if you want to stop picking is in choosing the right treatment method. No method fits everyone. Choosing the right method depends on your specific symptoms (ways of picking) and the initial cause of your disorder.
Which brings me to the second most common question I'm being asked…
…why am I picking my skin?Picking compulsions are psychological in nature. Just think about it – you're doing it to yourself, no one forces you. Some inner force takes over your body, and it is often stronger than your will power.
Compulsive picking could be a symptom of a deeper distress taking place inside you. Often treating the symptoms is not enough – you need to address the cause.
Common causes of compulsive skin picking are:
- Stress, anxiety and other psychological factors.
- Neurological imbalance caused by overloading stress to the nervous system.
- Chemical imbalance.
- Traumatic events, particularly in childhood.
- Heredity (oftentimes it runs in the family).

About the Author
David Florendale has been researching Compulsive Skin Picking and related disorders since 2003. He tested various kinds of therapy methods, encountered more than 150 people suffering from this disorder and performed two surveys among 900 compulsive picking patients.
"Thank you for doing your research and putting a name to my disorder. I have been picking since childhood and am now 30. Uggh. I am finally coming to terms with the fact that this is an issue and greatly appreciate the support that I have found through your literature."
Lawra, Vancouver, Canada
"Dear David, I had been picking my skin since I was 5. I coudn't stop, and I hated myself for it. Until I read your book. You really taught me how to look at things the right way and control my picking. I think everyone who suffers from picking compulsions should read your book."
Carrie Dossey, Florida, USA
"I had picking problems for years. I was scared to tell people about my problem, I was terrified that I cannot stop, and didn't know what to do. I want to thank you for writing this book - it allowed me to open up and finally start treating myself. Today I am a much happier person. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
Laurie Alvester
Utrecht, Holland

OLYMPIA, WA - Drivers in Washington and Oregon can start putting studded tires on their cars starting Friday, November 1st.
Studded tires are legal between November and March in both states, but the Department of Transportation says they damage highways and the DOT encourages drivers to consider chains or traction tires without studs.
The Department of Transportation says drivers traveling into higher elevations should always carry chains and have approved traction tires year-round.
When chains are required, studded tires alone will not meet the chain requirement unless your vehicle is a four- or all-wheel drive vehicle.

Healthy Origins EpiCor High-Metabolite Immunogens 500 mg. - 60 Capsules
Healthy Origins EpiCor High-Metabolite Immunogens 500 mg. is an all-natural nutritional dietary health supplement that helps support the immune system. Some of the world's greatest inventions are stumbled upon by accident. Such is the story of EpiCor, a unique, all natural dietary ingredient which significantly strengthens the body's immune function. Just one Healthy Origins 100% Natural EpiCor capsule daily has been clinically shown to keep the immune system balanced and performing optimally. Packed with antioxidant power, Healthy Origins EpiCor works within 2 hours to activate Natural Killer (NK) Cells, one of the body's first lines of immune defense.
An intricate, body-wide network of cells, chemicals and organs, your immune system is what keeps you well so you can work and play! EpiCor is a complex nutrient-rich ingredient comprised of fiber, proteins, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, and other metabolites. Clinical studies have found EpiCor's immune-balancing properties provide year-round support by helping the body boost or suppress immune response as needed.
Unfortunately, anything that stresses you may wreak havoc on your immune health. When you're stressed your immune system is out of balance, which can result in a host of health issues. EpiCor is clinically shown to be a safe and effective way to help support immune response for improved year round health and wellness.
EpiCor does more than just stimulate or "boost" the body's immune system, it balances it. EpiCor supports the body at the first level of immune defense, the innate immune system (or mucosal barrier), EpiCor helps activate Natural Killer (NK) cells, an integral part of immune defense.
Research shows that EpiCor also works further down the line when the adaptive immune system kicks in by activating B cells, which support antibody production. EpiCor also contains antioxidants that further support a healthy body by scavenging dangerous free radicals.

Called SLP and they said its not designed to seal to the air box, just stop large debris from entering the air box. What good is a high flow kit if its going to let dirt and sand directly into the air box fairly freely?? STAY AWAY!!!!Read All Reviews
JAMES in PA
The new Team secondary the kit comes with has a special removable helix which adds engine braking. This plus a lower engagement RPM adds a tremendous benefit for those that ride in hilly areas. If you need more braking than the kit provides, SLP can also modify your clutch and add a one way bearing. Most are finding out, it is not needed and that the kit is sufficient. If you go to larger tires, this kit can also readjust your powerband back where it needs to be. The only negative is that the rivets are not easily installed and removed. But once set up, they should not have to ever be adjusted again unless you change tire size or do other power mods.Read All Reviews

The Opening Ceremony was pretty spectacular. I wouldn't say it was as spectacular as Beijing's (particularly the cauldron lighting. Which still takes my breathe away watching), but still fantastic. The best parts were James Bond parachuting with The Queen and the battle between Mary Poppins and Voldemort.
I'm currently watching cycling , not really pay attention though, so not sure who's winning.
I'm mostly interested in seeing football and basketball and maybe volleyball. Apparently there's also a Malaysian shooter who is 8 months pregnant. That sounds pretty interesting to watch her shoot with a baby in her.
Yeah and the Queen is also way too old to be parachuting so obviously that was a stunt double. Still my favorite part of the entire thing.

Alex's Tech Thoughts
This past Saturday night the Denver Broncos played the Baltimore Ravens for a chance to go to the Conference Finals. The Broncos were up by 7 points, had picked up a first down, and had about two minutes and change left on the clock. The Broncos ran two run plays and had a third and seven coming up. Instead of putting the game away by trying to pick up the first down, the Broncos ran another run play and kicked the ball away. Needless to say, the Ravens went the entire field and tied the game with 30 seconds left. The Broncos got the ball back and instead of trying to get into field goal position and win it in regulation, they opted for not losing and taking the ballgame into overtime. Well, the Ravens intercepted the ball in overtime and ended up winning it on a field goal.
I was watching the end of this game and thinking to myself that this is a perfect example of the difference between wanting to win a game and not wanting to lose. Manning and the Broncos seemed like they wanted not to lose more than they wanted to win. I understand this is the playoff and every little play matters. But by playing it "safe" the Broncos season is over and they can only think "what if" at this point.
All and all, there is a startup and life lesson here: you need to want to win. Whether it is every day or every play. Not wanting to lose just won't cut it. You need to want it so bad that you will identify and capitalize on every inch a competitor gives you. There is a big difference between wanting to win and not wanting to lose, and that is that the people that don't want to lose end up going home and watching the other team fight on.

First of all, I would like to say that your blog looks really good and simply amazing since it gives informational discussions, tips and instructions about IELTS writing. With regards to the ambiguity issue, yes, I do agree with what you've said that a certain term should be more specific to avoid confusions. Well, this serves as an eye opener to those IELTS writing examinees to be more aware on the issue of ambiguity when writing a piece. TheIELTSSolution.com
Thank you.
