Apr 30, 2013
The mortgage interest deduction is one of the largest tax expenditures in the U.S. tax code but the rate at which it is claimed and the average amount deducted vary widely across and within states.
With changes to tax expenditures under consideration, data showing the current distribution of the mortgage interest deduction are key to understanding how federal tax decisions would affect the states.
Interactive: The Geographic Distribution of Mortgage Interest Deduction
Policymakers continue to debate how to reduce the federal budget deficit and how to simplify the federal tax code. One point on which there seems to be emerging agreement is that reducing or eliminating tax expenditures could contribute to one or both efforts.
The mortgage interest deduction allows tax filers who own a home and itemize their deductions to subtract interest paid on mortgage debt from their gross income. In tax year 2011, filers deducted about $360 billion in mortgage interest, resulting in roughly $72 billion in forgone federal income tax revenue. Only two federal tax expenditures were larger that year. In years past this deduction has often ranked second behind the exclusion for employer-provided health insurance.
Wide variation across and within states
Using detailed ZIP code-level data for the first time — along with state-level data — this report shows that mortgage interest deduction claims vary widely not just across states but across areas within the same state:
Changes to current policy would affect states
If the deduction were modified or eliminated, the geographic distribution of the benefits would likely change — meaning tax filers in certain states, or areas within a state, would pay higher, or lower, federal income taxes than under current policy. This could affect economic activity both across and within states, and indirectly affect state and local revenues. The actual impact on any given area would depend on how any changes were structured.
Policy makers should be aware of the geographic implications of changes in federal tax policy as debates over federal deficit reduction and tax reform move forward.

The legendary tales of a Carolina kid called Hambone
Story Highlights
Josh Hamilton was a prodigy as a young baseball player in Raleigh, N.C.
All those who saw him, from coaches to teammates, remember his amazing feats
Hamilton, now a star with the Rangers, has not forgotten where he came from
Hambone, they all called him. Josh Hamilton preferred the nickname "Hammer" as he would come to be known in the big leagues, but these folks were all close enough to Josh back then that he didn't have much choice.
They knew him before. Before his rise. Before his fall. They knew him way before he was ever chasing the Triple Crown.
They all knew Hambone.
Ronnie Powell knew phenoms. Heck, there was one living under his roof. Powell had a phenom for a son. Landon Powell would grow up to become an extraordinary ballplayer, a strong-armed, switch-hitting catcher with an explosive bat, who would one day be a first-round draft pick of the Oakland Athletics.
But Landon, well, Landon was no Josh.
Alongside Josh's father, Tony, Ronnie Powell coached Landon and Josh through various youth sports. "I remember when Josh was eight years old in Pop Warner football and he looked like a weeble with that big helmet on," Powell says. "Josh would average about 30 yards every time he touched the ball. Nobody could catch him and nobody could tackle him. They either ran him out of bounds or he scored."
Powell recalls that in basketball Josh was a point guard, completely lefthanded, and his favorite move was to dribble down the left sideline, circumventing the entire defense and lay the ball in the basket, until inevitably he became the first kid his age who could dunk.
But most of Powell's memories of Josh as a kid revolve around baseball in the West Raleigh (N.C.) Little League. He remembers coaching Josh as a seven-year-old, when Josh played pitcher and shortstop, often at the same time. Eventually Josh had to be moved from shortstop to the outfield because his first baseman so feared catching Josh's bullet throws that he began ducking out of harm's way. Whenever Josh pitched, batters backed out of the box before he even began his windup and whenever Josh came to bat, all of the infielders retreated into the outfield, until finally complaints from opposing players' parents prompted Josh's promotion to a league of older kids. Josh and Landon played on a team sponsored by Mitchell's Hair Styling and wore purple jerseys. They won three state championships in a row.
In one of those state tournaments, Josh pitched a total of 24 innings and never allowed a hit. The next season Josh won a Home Run Derby against a bunch of boys nearly twice his size. At that time, Josh was still scrawny, but he was so athletic and coordinated that he could run backward faster than the other kids could run forward.
Mostly Powell recalls how much Josh loved to play. When Josh would see one of his teammate's shoes untied, he would tie it for him just to get the game going again. After his own Little League games, Josh would hang around the fields hoping that another team would fall short on numbers and he could volunteer to join them. If that didn't pan out, he and Landon would play Cupball, a form of baseball that involved a ball made of crushed soda cups from the concession stand. "Josh was always laughing and playing with this huge grin on his face," Powell says. "Baseball came so easy to him. The difference between Landon and Josh is that Josh was the thoroughbred that runs the race and Landon was the workhorse pulling the wagon around the track. Landon was a grinder. Josh was a freak."
Powell has never forgotten a conversation he had with Bob Sanderford, the father of one of Josh's teammates. "Bob was a former college basketball player who knew youth sports really well and knew sports at a high level," Powell says. "One day after a game when Josh had done something only Josh could do, Bob leaned over to me and he said, 'That kid's going to be the first player picked in the major league draft when he's a senior in high school.'"
Josh was 10.
When Jason Hamilton played for Clay Council's American Legion baseball team, his younger brother Josh liked to tag along to watch. "One afternoon at the end of baseball practice I said, 'Hey there, young fella, you want to hit some?'" Council recalls. "I didn't think Josh would. Most 12-year-olds would be intimidated around a bunch of 17-year-olds, but not him. He said, 'Yeah, man.' After a few pitches I looked at my other coaches and I said, "You see that kid hit? You see how that ball jumps off his bat? That kid's going to be something special.'"
Josh began to join Jason for regular batting practice sessions with Council. Afterward, Josh always asked Council to analyze his swing. "He would talk to me about his bat speed, his hip rotation, his weight shift," Council says. "Even as a teenager, Josh understood the mechanical part of the game. He was just programmed to be a major leaguer."
For many years, Council worked as a volunteer assistant coach at Cary High School. One afternoon he invited Josh to take batting practice with him at the school before his team's practice began. For 30 minutes Josh launched balls over the rightfield fence into a swamp where they could not be recovered. Finally, Cary's head coach, Jim Hourigan, came running onto the field yelling, "Get him out of here. Get him off my field. He's losing all of my baseballs."
Council told Hourigan that the balls belonged to him, but it didn't solve the problem. Josh eventually hit all of Council's baseballs into the swamp. Says Council, "I remember telling him, 'I can't afford to throw to you anymore. Every time I throw a pitch that's three dollars over the fence.' The next day Josh came back with four dozen new balls and he hit them out, too."
One summer day after a batting practice session, Council told Josh, "You really hit me good today, boy."
"If I ever get to the bigs and get in the Home Run Derby," Josh told him, "you're going to throw it."
Council replied, "Yeah, right."
How do you write a story about someone when you can't believe your own eyes?
When Tim Stevens, who has written about high school sports for the Raleigh News & Observer for the last 45 years, began watching Josh Hamilton play baseball, he kept seeing things he'd never seen before.
"Josh didn't just hit home runs, he hit them further then you'd ever imagine possible," Stevens says. "He hit one during the state finals into a light tower. It was like The Natural. He was bigger than life. It was hard to write about him sometimes, because it felt like his story was make-believe."
Stevens could believe because he was one of the few people who saw the ingredients behind Josh's success. He visited the Hamilton home and noticed the worn red clay path in the backyard, which led to a frayed net that struggled to contain the line drives Hamilton hit off his batting tee. He toured Josh's bedroom filled with home run balls, trophies, baseball cards and wallpapered with newspaper clippings about Josh. That bedroom struck Stevens as the perfect place to dream.
He interviewed Josh's father, Tony, so country strong that he claimed to have once bench-pressed 540 pounds, and Josh's mother Linda, a former college softball slugger, who first met Tony at a baseball diamond one night after she had clubbed a home run. Stevens also spoke to Jason, Josh's role model, who once hit in all 36 games of an American Legion season and later played college baseball. Stevens had never encountered such a baseball family.
After Josh's junior year in high school, Stevens recalls writing a story about local athletes and their summer jobs. One kid said he'd be lifeguarding at the pool. Another working at a fast food restaurant. Josh told Stevens that his summer job would be "baseball." Stevens once asked Josh what he did after a baseball practice or a game and he said, "I come home and I hit."
Says Stevens, "My favorite story about Josh from back then is how he went to the Walt Disney World complex nine or 10 times for different All-Star games and he never once entered a theme park. Josh was there to work. He was all baseball. That was his life."

Amazon's Exit From Wine Business Shouldn't Hurt Wineries' Online Sales
October 23rd, 2009
The much-anticipated entrance of Amazon.com into the wine industry has come to an end before it ever got off the ground. The prospect of Amazon's wine site sent a wave of excitement throughout the industry as small and medium sized domestic brands with limited distribution saw an opportunity to get exposure through Amazon's enormous book of active customers. For foreign brands, the opportunity seemed even more attractive since imported brands don't have the same rights to ship wine directly to consumers as U.S.-produced brands do. The Amazon program, in theory, would have provided access to a broad selection of wines from all regions of the world in a reliable, cost-effective approach to consumers in many states across the country.
Because of the large number of brands (6,000+ wineries in the United States alone) and labels that exist in the world, the wine industry seemed ripe for an aggregator like Amazon to come in and help consumers discover and purchase wines that they otherwise couldn't find in their local wine shops and restaurants. Parallel success stories are easy to find in industries such as books, electronics and music. Sites like Amazon and the Apple iTunes Store are great platforms for exposing the "long tail" of industries that have large selections.
But, distributing wine is not the same as distributing books. Since the ratification of the 21st amendment in 1933, each state has the power to regulate the flow of alcohol within their borders. This system has led to a hodgepodge of antiquated laws that are very different from state-to-state. Much of the existing legislation that regulates the sale and distribution of alcohol was written at a time when lawmakers had no vision for today's technology that allows for automated payments, electronic title and funds transfers, real-time compliance checks, and online age verification. Because of the conflict between available technology and written law, alcohol regulators are often put in a tough position when the time comes to establish administrative policy and to enforce their statutes. Recently, both the California and Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) departments issued industry advisories in attempts to clarify their statutes and policies. Both advisories make it very difficult for a third-party marketing company, like Amazon, to participate in the sale of alcoholic beverages without actually holding the appropriate licenses to sell and distribute alcohol.
Nevertheless, the challenges that third-party marketers (often referred to as "marketing agents") face are quite different than the challenges that domestic producing wineries face when marketing, selling and distributing their own products. With the help of technology solutions, wineries can easily deal with the complex legislative rules that come hand in hand with selling and shipping their wines directly to consumers.
There is no doubt that third party marketers can add real value to wineries by exposing them to new customers and providing new sales channels. But, wineries are becoming better and better every year at marketing and selling their own products as well as finding new ways to effectively connect to their current and potential customer base. Additionally, when selling and shipping their own product directly to consumers, wineries gain a significantly larger margin on each sale compared to going through distribution systems.
As the 2009 holiday season (a time when most wineries make a significant share of their sales for the year) approaches, many will be nervous and disappointed to see Amazon exit the wine industry. At the same time, wineries should be excited about taking advantage of the brand building that they have done and finding innovative ways to connect to customers and sell their fabulous products. Furthermore, 2009 was a banner year for wine shipping legislation as three states (Kansas, Tennessee, and Maine) opened up their borders to direct shipment where shipping had previously been prohibited, bringing the total of available "offsite" (states that allow Internet, mail, phone, fax and club orders) states to 37. Although these are not among the top wine consuming states in the country, every consumer counts in this sluggish economy. Free the Grapes! hailed 2009 as the "best vintage since 2005" in terms of direct shipping legislation, and there is no reason to believe that this trend will not continue right into 2010.

The Demise of Amazon Wine…
It appears to be official that Amazon isn't going to be adding wine to the long list of things you can buy from them. There will be lots of speculation as to why, but it all boils down to this:……
I'd agree with the poster upthread–if Amazon couldn't pull it off, no one can. It's a pity, but it might keep a great vintage special, eh?
Tom's comments here (and his complete commentary on fermentation.typepad.com) say it better than I can.
Frankly, Jeff, Eric and Steve miss the point. The Amazon distribution channel would have been a first step toward exponential growth in wine consumption. The fact that it's demise won't reduce wine sales is trivial.
If more people have easy access to a broader selection of any product, more people will buy that product. In a country where only 15% drink wine — and most of them at less than $10 a bottle — access and selection are the keys to industry growth. If the 3-tier distributor monopoly is broken, prices will fall. Hundreds of small family wineries in Sonoma County are shut out of the distributor channel, which denies millions of Americans access to their hand-crafted products, which certainly affects price.
An Amazon channel would have, over time, forced state & federal governments' hands because it would have created a public cry against the distributor monopoly. Without the public being able to experience what some portion of monopoly-free distribution gives them, it's hard for them to see how the monopoly system robs them.
[...] that is always juggling a lot of balls, but that doesn't mean that there isn't a business model that can do the job. Another group, Free the Grapes, is working hard to change the shipping regulations, to untangle [...]
Myth #1 "The vast majority of Americans don't have legal access to the majority of wines"
Myth #2 "The Amazon distribution channel would have been a first step toward exponential growth in wine consumption."
Jeff, the issue is not about direct shipping. Rather it's about marketing, and online marketing has been hurt. As you note there are plenty of technological tools, and permits, available for winery direct shipping. However you must have customers to ship to in order to participate in the space. What Amazon offered (and what the large brick and mortar retailers have) was access to customers on a real time and convenient basis. The only way to tap that customer base (whether it's Amazon, HSN, The NY Times or whatever) is to pay advertising and/or marketing fees. [to be continued in another comment, teh program made me break it up]
[continued] What the ABC did in the trade practice advisory that killed Amazon was to effectively prohibit paying marketing commissions, which are a staple of every other product being sold in the US marketplace. As long as the artifical (and in my view unecessary and leglislatively unauthorized) distinctions between marketing commissions (not permitted) and advertising (permitted) are being enforced by the regulators (at the behest of your good friends the wholesalers BTW) the small winery will stagnate and the consumer will be denied knowledge about, and access to, small winery products from around the US and around the world. Moreoever, the retailers themselves are being harmed because if they want to provide exposure to wines that they think are worthy they cannot unless they stock up on inventory that can only be used in a limited geographic market. The only similar historical era that compares is the 1890's "Golden Age" of the Trusts when a small cabal of very wealthy men controlled US commerce. One only hopes that the situation changes when the US consumer finally wakes up and realizes that it paying a monopoly premium for a small subset of wine products.
Our winery, St. James Winery (MO) hasn't really been hurt with Amazon pulling out their wine sales. We've had our site up for quite sometime and it can be seen almost everywhere on Missouri Wine sites and is gaining quite some recognition and awards as well. If the wine is good, it will sell itself IMO. I'm even drinking a glass right now of Friendship School Red wine. Delish.

Hi guys,
Does anyone know a hack to remove the "Slide to unlock" screen that always appears when you turn the screen on? It's pretty annoying, as I keep my iPhone in a case (I guess most of us do!) so the likelihood of accidentally hitting a button and turning the phone on is pretty low. The likelihood of my phone actually ringing someone in the case accidentally is even lower, even if that screen was removed.
I'd love to get rid of it so that when I pressed either button I am taken straight away either to the screen I was in before or the springboard.
Anyone know of a hack/tweak/setting change available?

Receive your quote directly from Gentronix Ltd. for BlueScreen HC: The luminescent adaptation of GreenScreen
BlueScreen HC is based on the fast, accurate GreenScreen HC genotoxicity assay from Gentronix Ltd.
BlueScreen HC uses the same human-derived, p53-competent TK6 cells to host a patented reporter system that exploits the proper regulation of the GADD45a gene. However, in place of GFP, BlueScreen HC utilizes a luciferase from the marine copepod Gaussia princeps to generate a luminescent output.
The BlueScreen luminescent assay delivers both high specificity and high sensitivity and detects all common mechanistic classes of genotoxin, just like GreenScreen HC. The 96-well microplate format of BlueScreen is rapid to set up and results are generated after 48 hours' incubation. A single microplate is sufficient for the simultaneous testing of 8 compounds and the protocol is readily automated using standard laboratory equipment. The superior signal-to-noise ratio makes it more suitable for adaptation to even higher throughput screening in 384-well format. The BlueScreen luminescent output also circumnavigates issues of test compound autofluorescence.
Key Principles of BlueScreen:
GADD45a plays an important role in mediating the adaptive response to genotoxic stress. The patented system incorporates complex regulatory elements to enable a faithful GADD45a response. The assay generates positive results for direct-acting mutagens, clastogens, as well as aneugens, and topoisomerase and polymerase inhibitors. Importantly, correct negative results are produced for non-carcinogens, many of which give misleading positive results in other in vitro genotoxicity tests. A metabolic activation protocol using rodent S9 liver extract extends the range of compounds detected to include genotoxic metabolites.
Bluescreen Assay Protocol:
BlueScreen HC uses a single cell strain, which permits 8 compounds to be tested across 8 dilutions (2-fold serial), together with untreated and positive controls, in one 96-well microplate. After arraying test compounds and dilutions, growing cells are added to each well. For studies without S9 metabolic activation data are collected after incubation (48h) using a multimode microplate reader. For studies incorporating S9 metabolic activation, cells are washed after a 3h incubation with test compound and S9. Measurements are made by microplate reader after a further 45h incubation period. Simple software gives automated decisions and a clear graphical output, including a complimentary indication of cytotoxicity (RCD).

The Little Bride
Anna Solomon - Author
- eBook - ePub eBook: $12.99
When 16-year-old Minna Losk journeys from Odessa to America as a mail- order bride, she dreams of a young, wealthy husband, a handsome townhouse, and freedom from physical labor and pogroms. But her husband Max turns out to be twice her age, rigidly Orthodox, and living in a one-room sod hut in South Dakota with his two teenage sons. The country is desolate, the work treacherous. Most troubling, Minna finds herself increasingly attracted to her older stepson. As a brutal winter closes in, the family's limits are tested, and Minna, drawing on strengths she barely knows she has, is forced to confront her despair, as well as her desire.
"In her emotionally honest debut novel, The Little Bride, Anna Solomon draws on an 1880s U.S. homesteading movement called Am Olam. Jewish newcomers were encouraged to settle out west as pioneers. The result wasn't some cheerful "little shtetl on the prairie," as Solomon's heroine discovers. Impoverished Minna Losk is a 16-year-old Jewish mail- order bride from Odessa and one of the more realistic pioneers depicted in recent historical fiction. Suffering hasn't hewn her into a plucky stereotype. Instead, she is someone the reader instantly empathizes with. She wants love, and ends up with a husband twice her age. She craves comfort, and ends up in a South Dakota one-room sod hut. A fascinating if sometimes bleak page turner."
-USA Today
"An engrossing slice of history. . . . The Little Bride offers a precious glimpse of the wondrously strange story of Jewish immigration evoked by Anna Solomon in her debut novel. Like other talented young Jewish-American novelists Jonathan Safran Foer and Dara Horn, Solomon fruitfully imagines faraway times and climes in The Little Bride - Europe's Odessa and America's Dakota Territory in the late 19th century, specifically - and creates a winning 16-year-old heroine in Minna Losk. . . . [A] moving debut."
-The Miami Herald
"This is a very intensely imagined book, an elegantly written pocket of forgotten history."
-Audrey Niffenegger, author of the New York Times-bestselling The Time Traveler's Wife and Her Fearful Symmetry
"Evocative of Alice Munro, Amy Bloom, and Willa Cather, but fueled by Anna Solomon's singular imagination, The Little Bride is a masterful debut. This tale of a Jewish mail-order bride's homestead experience on the Great Plains is embroidered with sage, beautiful writing on every page and marks the start of a long, fine, and important career."
-Jenna Blum, author of Those Who Save Us
"Anna Solomon has created a singular heroine whose story of dashed dreams and eventual triumph is a wise and timeless wonder. Intense and gorgeous, The Little Bride gives us an unparalleled snapshot of the West."
-Jennifer Gilmore, author of Golden Country and Something Red
"The Little Bride is a love story. An immigrant's story. But most important: a story of hope and courage in the face of overwhelming odds. Anna Solomon has written a heart-wrenchingly good novel, with vivid characters and an epic frontier landscape that will haunt you long after you've turned the final page."
-Hannah Tinti, author of The Good Thief
"An affecting tale of 19th century Jewish settlers who find their America not on the noisy streets of the Lower East Side, but on the boundless, desolate Dakota Plains. A stirring love story and an unsettling, original portrait of the New World."
-Sana Krasikov, author of One More Year

The Associated Press
ROME — James Gandolfini's lumbering, brutish mob boss with the tortured psyche will endure as one of TV's indelible characters.
A May 20, 2013, photo of James Gandolfini at the L.A. premiere of "Nicky Deuce" in Los Angeles.
AP / Richard Shotwell, Invision
But his portrayal of criminal Tony Soprano in HBO's landmark drama series "The Sopranos" was just one facet of an actor who created a rich legacy of film and stage work in a life cut short.
Gandolfini, 51, who died Wednesday while vacationing in Rome, refused to be bound by his star-making role in the HBO series that brought him three Emmy Awards during its six-season run and helped change the landscape of television drama.
"He was a genius," said "Sopranos" creator David Chase. "Anyone who saw him even in the smallest of his performances knows that. He is one of the greatest actors of this or any time. A great deal of that genius resided in those sad eyes."
Dr. Claudio Modini, head of the emergency room at the Policlinic Umberto I hospital in Rome, said Gandolfini suffered a cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead at 11 p.m. Wednesday after resuscitation efforts in the ambulance and hospital failed.
Modini told The Associated Press that an autopsy would be performed starting 24 hours after the death, as required by law.
Michael Kobold, a family friend, told reporters in Rome that a family member discovered Gandolfini in his hotel room, but he declined to say whom. NBC quoted the manager of Rome's Boscolo Exedra hotel as saying it was Gandolfini's 13-year-old son, Michael.
Gandolfini had been expected to receive an award at the Taormina Film Festival in Sicily this weekend, and organizers said they were scrambling to instead put together a tribute "remembering his career and talent."
Edie Falco, who played Tony Soprano's wife Carmela on "The Sopranos," remembered him as a "man of tremendous depth and sensitivity."
"I am shocked and devastated by Jim's passing," she said in a statement, adding that her heart went out to his family "as those of us in his pretend one hold on to the memories of our intense and beautiful time together. The love between Tony and Carmela was one of the greatest I've ever known."
Joe Gannascoli, who played Vito Spatafore on the drama series, said he was shocked and heartbroken.
"Fifty-one and leaves a kid — he was newly married. His son is fatherless now. ... It's way too young," Gannascoli said.
Gandolfini and his wife, Deborah, who were married in 2008, have a daughter, Liliana, born last year, HBO said. Michael is the son of the actor and his former wife, Marcy.
Gandolfini's performance in "The Sopranos" was his ticket to fame, but he evaded being stereotyped as a mobster after the drama's breathtaking blackout ending in 2007. In a December 2012 interview with The Associated Press, he was upbeat about the work he was getting post-Tony Soprano.
"I'm much more comfortable doing smaller things," Gandolfini said then. "I like them. I like the way they're shot; they're shot quickly. It's all about the scripts — that's what it is — and I'm getting some interesting little scripts."
He played then-CIA director Leon Panetta in Kathryn Bigelow's Osama bin Laden hunt docudrama "Zero Dark Thirty."
"I told him I was glad an Italian played me — swear words and all," Panetta said Thursday. "We laughed together at the fact that tough guys can have a heart of gold. He did, and we will miss him."

I think foster is better in pass pro while colon is a better run blocker.
goes without saying that foster is much less penalized as well. Colon almost singlehandedly cost us the philly game, IIRC.
I would agree that Colon is a penalty machine, almost in the Kemo mode.
Severely overweight and not to much going on in the brain section.
I truly have nothing against Foster, but he's no slouch in the penalty department himself...
People remember Colon's flags because they hate him...
Colon had 12 penalties on the season: 8 offensive holding, 3 false starts, 1 unsportsmanlike conduct, costing the team a total of 82 yards. Foster had 4 penalties: 2 offensive holding, 1 false start, and 1 unnecessary roughness, for a total of 13 yards. (Source = http://www.nflpenalties.com/team/pit...lers?year=2012)
Colon led the team in penalties; the next-closest players were Ike Taylor and Keenan Lewis, who had 8 apiece, and Heath Miller, who had 5 (all offensive holding). Then it was Foster and VanDyke with 4 apiece.
I'm wondering if they could roll the dice with Beachum at LG.
Foster gets a better offer and leaves and Colon and Beachum duke it out for LG. I see young Beachum beating out the oft injured, soon-to-be 30 year old. I remember him doing a decent job when he had to play.
Perhaps Starks-Beachum-Pouncey-DDC-Adams with Colon and Gilbert on the pine where THEY belong and a later round draft pick, like a 5-7 pick.

5 habits of highly successful job seekers
Today's job market is tough. But landing your dream job is still within reach if you know how to set yourself apart from the pack. Here are five tips from human resources experts on how to be a successful job seeker:
1. Be honest.
Whether it's your resume or how you present yourself in an interview, honesty is always the best policy. "The most common mistake I see job seekers make is trying to embellish their experience in a less than truthful manner," says Donna B. Wyatt, PhD, SPHR, a human resources executive with more than 30 years' experience in Fortune 500 companies and an instructor in the MBA program at University of Phoenix.
You should be able to back up anything you say on your resume or in an interview, because job recruiters will then verify this information, according to Wyatt. "Don't ever, ever lie," she says. "It will come back to bite you!"
2. Dress for success.
In today's ultracompetitive job market, appearances count — and not just in terms of what you wear. "How you present yourself to the recruiter is very important," says Pat Fitzgerald, DPA, an HR consultant with more than 30 years' experience and a human resources instructor in the MBA program at University of Phoenix.
"What you wear doesn't have to be expensive, but it does have to be professional and appropriate for the position being offered."
3. Do your homework.
Fitzgerald says that the job applicants who impress her the most are the ones who have researched the hiring company ahead of time, and then ask questions accordingly. "Ask the recruiter concise questions about the company's mission, the philosophy and the corporate culture," she says. "And listen more than you talk. Companies want to hire candidates who are savvy when it comes to navigating office politics, and the best way to do that is to understand how the company operates and what it values."
4. Prove your worth.
In a tough job market, employers are looking for candidates who show they provide skills and talents that others don't. "Applicants should be able to articulate clearly not only how they have benefitted past employers in positive ways, but also how their background and experience will help fill a specific need that the hiring organization is experiencing," says Wyatt.
5. Network, network, network.
Successful job seekers understand the value of networking, according to Fitzgerald. "Building relationships is important for any job search," she says. "Put yourself and your skills out there whenever and wherever you can — job fairs, networking events, even talking to friends and family. Those of us in HR are always keeping our eyes and ears out for the best job candidates, and you never know when making a contact will lead to a company expressing interest in you."

Recon 1 - Tanto Straight Edge
Manufacture ID: 27TLT
Cold Steel is famous for raising the bar in the knife industry and the Recon 1 tactical folders are setting a standard that's hard to beat. Why? Because they are as tough as nails and will cut like a chain saw! Every facet of their construction has been over engineered to make them as strong durable and effective as humanly possible. The blades are made out of imported Japanese AUS 8A stainless steel that's been vacuum heat treated and sub-zero quenched and the handles feature G-10 laminate scales artfully contoured and scalloped for a terrific non slip grip. Plus they are held together by the latest in high strength mechanical fasteners and further anchored by a 6061 heat-treated spacer. To compliment their super tough blades and handles they are equipped with the revolutionary Tri Ad lock which practically precludes lock failure.
To compliment their tactical mission we have given each blade a tough black non-corrosive. The testing has shown this coating offers three major advantages for tactical blades. First it helps the blade to resist rust. Second it eliminates glare and light reflections which may give its user away. And third it's a superior lubricant which causes the blade to slip through even tough material with markedly less friction. This means you can cut deeper and far longer than with a non-coated blade. To make the Recon 1 as easy to open and carry as possible it has been equipped each knife with a thumb disc and small extra strong pocket clip. This clip is completely ambidextrous so lefties please take note. What's more its small size doesn't abrade or irritate the palm under protracted use.
Thin light sharp and incredibly tough the Recon 1 is willing and able to aid you on your next mission!
- Blade Length: 4" (Tanto)
- Blade Thickness: 3.5 mm
- Overall Length: 9 3/8"
- Steel: Japanese Aus 8A Stainless w/ Black Non-corrosive Finish
- Weight: 5.3 oz
- Handle: 5 3/8" Long G-10

What's your recipe and technique for the best Genovese Pesto?
I use basil, paremsan, garlic, pine nuts (very lightly toasted first), olive oil (extra virgin) and I like a little lemon juice too. I use a food processor to blend it and serve onto spaghetti (bit it also works great spread over one layer of bread in a steak sandwich).

Court Opinions
LEGAL PROFESSION: Voluntary Surrender of License
Alert: Attorney's petition to voluntarily surrender her license accepted based on her admitted failure to pursue divorce and child support actions, and her closing her practice without notifying her client or withdrawing as her client's counsel.
Subject Matter Index: Petition for voluntary surrender of license accepted based on attorney's admitted violation of Standards 44 and 68 of Bar Rule 4-102 (d); attorney failed to pursue a divorce action and contempt action for child support, and mistakenly assumed that opposing party would pay support through bankruptcy trustee; attorney also closed her practice without informing client or filing a motion to withdraw.
Headnote: The Supreme Court accepted Meredith Anne Bates' petition for the voluntary surrender of her license to practice law in Georgia based on her admitted violation of Standards 44 and 68 of Bar Rule 4-102 (d). Bates filed a divorce action and a contempt action to obtain child support for a client, but failed to pursue these actions and mistakenly assumed that the opposing party would pay support through a bankruptcy trustee. She also closed her law practice without informing her client or filing motions to withdraw.
Text: Per Curiam,This disciplinary matter is before the Court on Respondent Meredith Anne Bates' Petition for Voluntary Surrender of License, filed pursuant to State Bar of Georgia Rule 4-227 (b) (2). In her petition, Bates, who has been a member of the State Bar of Georgia since 1997, admits having violated Standards 44 (a lawyer shall not without just cause to the detriment of her client in effect wilfully abandon or wilfully disregard a legal matter entrusted to her) and 68 (during the investigation of a complaint filed under the Bar Rules, a lawyer shall not fail to respond in accordance with the State Disciplinary Board rules to disciplinary authorities) of Bar Rule 4-102 (d). The State Bar recommends that the Court accept Bates' petition.
In her petition, Bates admits that, in June 1998, she agreed to represent a client in a divorce action, including child support, and in a contempt action to obtain child support. Bates filed the contempt action but, after learning that the opposing party had filed for bankruptcy, failed to take any further action to obtain child support because she mistakenly assumed that child support would be paid through the bankruptcy trustee. Bates also filed the divorce action for her client, but did not pursue the action or seek a temporary order to obtain child support. She also failed to return the majority of her client's numerous phone calls. Bates closed her practice in December 1998 without informing her client that she was no longer practicing law and without filing a motion to withdraw from the divorce action. After the client filed a grievance with the State Bar, Bates acknowledged service of a Notice of Investigation regarding the grievance but failed to file a timely response as required by Bar Rule 4-204.3.
We have reviewed the record and agree to accept Bates' petition for voluntary surrender of her license to practice law in this State, which is tantamount to disbarment pursuant to Bar Rule 4-110 (f). The name of Meredith Anne Bates is hereby removed from the rolls of persons entitled to practice law in the State of Georgia. Bates is reminded of her duties under Bar Rule 4-219 (c) to notify timely all clients of her inability to represent them, to take all actions necessary to protect the interests of her clients, and to certify to this Court that she has satisfied the requirements of the rule.
Voluntary surrender of license accepted. All the Justices concur.
Trial Judge: ,
Attorneys: William P. Smith III, General Counsel, and K. Gene Chapman (State Bar of Georgia), Atlanta. Meredith A. Bates, Atlanta. Hylton Dupree, Chairperson (Review Panel), Marietta.,

Watch Joe Lally's latest Soap Opera episode!
Joe Lally continues to entice us into his dark portrayal of Hollywood with his latest film for his on-going Soap Opera series.
Lally has been exploring, in a Warholian-esque ode, everything from transgender reality-stars to the downfall of aspiring actors. Homages to Kenneth Anger, depections of ex-convicts breaking down in the shower and violent LSD-inspired visions are all tied together by Lally's raw, sensual and somewhat unnerving filming. His latest episode, The Suicide Club, is (just like it says on the tin) a artistic suicide note starring Richard 'Dick' Stinger.

Phosphorylation of Mad Controls Competition Between Wingless and BMP Signaling
Edward Eivers*, Hadrien Demagny*, Renee H. Choi, and Edward M. De Robertis
Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Department of Biological Chemistry, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095–1662, USA.* These authors contributed equally to this work.
Present address: Department of Biological Sciences, California State University, Los Angeles, 5151 State University Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90032–8201, USA.
Abstract: Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and Wnts are growth factors that provide essential patterning signals for cell proliferation and differentiation. Here, we describe a molecular mechanism by which the phosphorylation state of the Drosophila transcription factor Mad determines its ability to transduce either BMP or Wingless (Wg) signals. Previously, Mad was thought to function in gene transcription only when phosphorylated by BMP receptors. We found that the unphosphorylated form of Mad was required for canonical Wg signaling by interacting with the Pangolin-Armadillo transcriptional complex. Phosphorylation of the carboxyl terminus of Mad by BMP receptor directed Mad toward BMP signaling, thereby preventing Mad from functioning in the Wg pathway. The results show that Mad has distinct signal transduction roles in the BMP and Wnt pathways depending on its phosphorylation state.

November 28, 2012
A school bus was involved in an accident on Interstate 64 Eastbound, near Exit 120.
No children were on a school bus at the time of the accident. The driver of the bus was not hurt.
Ablemarle County School Spokesman Phil Giarmaita said the school bus was on the way to Monticello High School to pick up students. A replacement bus has been sent to the school, so the kids likely won't be late getting home.
Giarmaita tells the Newsplex that from what he understands, a vehicle was swerving to avoid hitting another car when it hit the bus.

Joel Grey(Joel Katz)
actor, singer, dancer
Born: 4/11/1932
Birthplace: Cleveland, Ohio
The son of renowned nightclub performer and producer Mickey Katz, Joel Grey grew up amid song, dance, and glitz. He performed in Catskills revues and enjoyed small parts on television and stage before landing his signature role as the sinister but mesmerizing Emcee in the Broadway musical Cabaret (1966). Grey won a Tony for the portrayal, which he reprised in the 1972 film version (in turn winning an Academy Award) and again on Broadway in 1987–88. Subsequently considered difficult to cast, he has since had few prominent roles, though in 1996 he appeared in the revival of the Broadway musical Chicago.

The New England Buying Consortium has re-elected Alderson-Broaddus bookstore manager, Ed Burda, as its president. Burda began his new one-year term earlier this month.
"I am happy to serve as president for this independent college store organization," Burda said.
Burda, who is director of campus services for the campus, has been with Alderson-Broaddus for 20 years.
NEBC is a nonprofit buying collaborative, which originally was founded in 1992 in New England but has since expanded nationally, according to its website, www.nebc1.org. NEBC is operated for the benefit of its institutional store members and the educational institutions that they serve. The consortium secures better buying arrangements with a variety of vendors. Today, membership for NEBC includes 315 institutional stores in 35 states.
"All members are granted full membership privileges, and are encouraged to be an active participant in all NEBC activities," the website says. "NEBC membership is restricted to institutionally operated bookstores."
The Alderson-Broaddus Bookstore recently moved to the ground floor of Hamer Campus Center after the building's renovation was completed in 2012. Its website can be found at www.bookstore.ab.edu.
