AICPA News Update
A Weekly Email Newsletter on Issues & Events Surrounding the CPA Profession
December 17, 2010 - Volume 13 No. 54
Late on December 16, after some procedural delays, the House of Representatives agreed to the Senate's version of the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010, HR 4853, and by a vote of 277 to 148 sent it to President Barack Obama for his signature. The bill is the result of a deal negotiated by the White House and members of Congress, and the president is expected to sign it today. Read more about the bill in this JournalofAccountancy.com article.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has issued final regulations requiring the use of Schedule UTP, Uncertain Tax Position Statement, by large corporations to report their uncertain tax positions. For 2010, corporations with $100 million or more in assets will be required to file Schedule UTP with their tax returns. In 2012, the total asset threshold will be reduced to $50 million and to $10 million in 2014. Read the AICPA's comment letter or visit the UTP page on AICPA.org for more information. A JournalofAccountancy.com article provides details.
The newly released AICPA/UNC-Kenan Flagler Economic Outlook Survey 4th Quarter 2010 results shows CPA executives regained modest optimism about prospects for the U.S. economy in the past three months after a dramatic drop last quarter. Though CPAs are predicting a slow recovery and are cautious about plans for expansion and hiring, they also point to continually improving corporate expansion expectations across most industries and geographic regions. For more information, read this JournalofAccountancy.com article.
The AICPA has been monitoring the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) regulatory initiatives under the Dodd-Frank Act, and has paid specific attention to the impact of possible Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or other self-regulatory organization (SRO) oversight for investment advisers. The AICPA submitted a comment letter to the SEC on November 24, reinforcing our position. Specifically, we emphasized that the AICPA strongly believes that the principles-based regulatory approach of the Investment Advisers Act and its related rules should continue to govern investment advisers and, further, that regulatory oversight remain exclusively with the SEC and/or states. Read the AICPA's November 24 comment letter.
The AICPA's Tax Executive Committee issued a comment letter reminding Congress about the uncertainty behind the generation-skipping transfer tax (GSTT). The AICPA has encouraged Congress in the past to extend and make permanent the technical modifications to GSTT contained within the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001. The comment letter also requested that Congress address other needed technical changes to permit administrative relief for certain late or defective lifetime qualified terminable interest property elections and for late elections by certain qualified revocable trusts. The comment letter was a follow-up to one issued on September 21.
The AICPA issued another comment letter to the U.S. government concerning potential changes to the reporting requirements of foreign financial accounts. This letter focuses solely on the proposed FBAR provisions relating to foreign trusts, and includes recommendations to expand certain exceptions from FBAR reporting, further clarify who is permitted to file an FBAR for foreign accounts held by a trust and further refine various definitions and terminology. For more information, read the comment letter or visit the FBAR resource page on AICPA.org.
The Work/Life Balance section of the new AICPA.org is a great resource to understand ways that you can optimize performance and satisfaction from employees. Learn about flexible work arrangements, download the Employee Retention Guide or check out the Private Companies Practice Section for ideas to recruit and retain the best employees. For many of us, work-life balance is the elusive "holy grail" towards which we all strive.
The AICPA recently was named the third most adoption-friendly non-profit in the country by the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption (out of nearly 500 employers). Additionally, the Institute was ranked #80 among all companies participating—for-profit and non-profit. The AICPA also has been named as one of Carolina Parenting's Family-Friendly Companies in 2010. Although this is a North Carolina-based award, the Institute was identified as a recipient for the policies, practices and benefits that exist for all locations. The AICPA is proud of these honors, reflecting our organization-wide family-friendly practices.

The wages of situation ethics
Post-Renaissance Church of Usury continues its Union with the Synagogue of the Talmud
By Michael Hoffman
In his 2012 Christmas address to the Roman curia, Pope Benedict XVI invoked Gilles Bernheim, the Grand Rabbi of France, as a valiant defender of family values. The pope declared:
"The Chief Rabbi of France, Gilles Bernheim, has shown in a very detailed and profoundly moving study that the attack we are currently experiencing on the true structure of the family, made up of father, mother, and child, goes much deeper. While up to now we regarded a false understanding of the nature of human freedom as one cause of the crisis of the family, it is now becoming clear that the very notion of being – of what being human really means – is being called into question. He quotes the famous saying of Simone de Beauvoir: "one is not born a woman, one becomes so" (on ne na?t pas femme, on le devient). These words lay the foundation for what is put forward today under the term 'gender' as a new philosophy of sexuality. According to this philosophy, sex is no longer a given element of nature, that man has to accept and personally make sense of: it is a social role that we choose for ourselves, while in the past it was chosen for us by society."
But does the Grand Rabbi and his Talmudic Judaism represent the eternal verities to which the pope must ultimately appeal? Certainly not! Judaism is a fount of nullification and revolutionary overthrow of God's law in favor of man's law and situation ethics. The pope builds on sand when he builds on the words of Grand Rabbi Gilles Bernheim.
"As the well-known Talmudic story of Akhnai's oven illustrates, halacha – Jewish religious law – is not made in heaven. It is created by human beings. This freedom when it comes to the law is not merely legal. The earlier rabbis developed an ideological and legal system that allowed them to construct a religion that would adapt to a changing situation and take an active role in improving it. For all practical purposes, rabbinical discourse offers us a radical reading of the very idea of 'law.' The law does not present an objective situation that exists in the world." --Ron Naiweld and Yaara Alon.
Look at the effects of papal situation ethics, which entered the Church at the dawn of the Renaissance with nominalism, the financial chicanery of Medici Florence and its pope of usury, Leo X. Situation ethics have ever since bedeviled the papacy. Observe the shabby strategy of the current pontiff: he imagines that he is going to advance the cause of the sanctity of marriage by cleverly invoking a grand rabbi as his ally in the fight, thereby supposedly blunting media criticism and advancing the family values' cause.
The True Catholic Church as it existed for nearly 1500 years prior to the Renaissance would have condemned Benedict XVI for using an antichrist rabbi to "defend" marriage and morality.
The Grand Rabbi of France believes, according to his Talmud Bavli, that Jesus Christ was an idolater and magician who deserved death. His holiest book, the Talmud, declares Christ's Blessed Mother Mary to be a harlot. None of these abominations deter Pope Benedict XVI from declaring a grand rabbi a defender of family values!
Jesus and Mary are two-thirds of what was formerly known in Christendom as the "Holy Family" (St. Joseph, the foster-father of Jesus, being the third). How can they be cast aside — as they are when the pope praises a representative of a religion that slimes them -- in any battle for the family that God would bless? Does Pope Benedict imagine that God will approve an alchemical union of good and evil in the struggle for good? Or could it be that Benedict is not seeking God's blessing, but that of the world?
Moreover, as an Orthodox Judaic and high religious figure of authority, Grand Rabbi Bernheim imposes the ungodly halachos of Niddah (rabbinic menstrual laws) on women. These are derived not from the Old Testament, but from Chazal (the corpus of rabbinic situation ethics). The halachos of Niddah constitute one of the most oppressive and misogynist collections of psychopathic regulations for human behavior in the history of mankind (cf. pp. 729-748 in Judaism Discovered). As such, the halachos of Niddah in their very essence, are a corruption of family values.
The apostle Paul taught: "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial?" (2 Cor. 6: 13-15).
This pope is, at best, profoundly confused. If he wanted to be ecumenical he could have found an articulate opponent of homosexuality among the top imams of Islam, but he would not invoke them because quoting the admonitions of Muslim clerics will win him no accoloades in the western media. What is more, at this time Islam is seen as particularly alien to Christendom, whereas the message from the western media and the Vatican is that the adherents of Talmudism are our "elder brothers in the Faith."
The pope seeks to achieve the goal of upholding marriage and the dignity of men and women not through reliance on God's grace, but upon the glamor and prestige of a Christ-denying, Mary-hating, Talmudic Grand Rabbi, with whom the pope is unequally yoked. This cynical papal ploy will represent, in the double-minds of those who are perennial losers in the war for morality, a great victory.
The infernal union of the post-Renaissance Church of usury with the synagogue of the Talmud continues apace.
Michael Hoffman's latest book is Usury in Christendom: The Mortal Sin that Was and Now is Not.

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky.—Taylor Cockrell tossed his second complete game of the season as Stetson salvaged the final game of their Atlantic Sun Conference weekend series with Northern Kentucky, winning 6-2, Sunday at Bill Akers Baseball Complex.
Cockrell (3-3) scattered seven hits and struck out eight batters without a walk. The freshman right-hander needed just 106 pitches to help Stetson shake off a doubleheader sweep at the hands of the Norse on Saturday.
"Taylor threw his breaking ball over the plate -- and it's a plus breaking ball," said Stetson head coach Pete Dunn. "He got left-handed hitters out with it, and got strikeouts when he needed them."
Once Stetson regained the lead in the sixth, Cockrell seemed to step up his performance. He retired 11 of the last 12 batters he faced.
"Good competitors and guys that know how to win do that," said Dunn. "When he needed to turn it up a notch, he did. He's been our go-to guy for most of the season."
Northern Kentucky (10-19 overall, 4-5 A-Sun) took an early 1-0 lead in the second on a wild pitch by Cockrell.
The Hatters (13-20, 3-6) tied the game in top of the third when Patrick Mazeika laced a two-out single and scored on an opposite-field double by Garrett Russini.
NKU regained the lead in the fourth when Cockrell plunked the lead-off batter, then allowed consecutive singles to give the Norse a 2-1 lead. But Cockrell minimized the damage by getting a pair of strike outs to end the inning.
Kyle Zech gave Stetson a 3-2 lead with a two-run single in the sixth, scoring Kyle Pitts and Kevin Fagan.
Cockrell cruised through the middle innings before running into a bit of trouble in the seventh, when Josh Myers led off the inning with a triple. After Cockrell struck out Quint Heady, Myers was cut down at the plate as part of a failed suicide squeeze attempt.
Stetson added to its lead in the eighth. Fagan led off with a double, moved to third on a sacrifice bunt by Zech and scored on a fielder's choice grounder by Jordan Schulz to make it 4-2. K'Shawn Smith's single up the middle with two outs scored Schulz to make it 5-2.
The Hatters added an insurance run in the top of the ninth when Pitts plated Mazeika with a sacrifice fly.
Stetson collected 11 hits on the day, with Mazeika, Russini, Pitts, Fagan and Zech each getting two.
One day after making six errors in a doubleheader, the Hatters played flawless defense on Sunday.
""We needed to come back with a "W", said Dunn. "We needed some energy and needed to compete and we did. Cockrell set the tone on the mound. We came from behind twice and put three runs up late to distance ourselves. Today was a much better effort, the kind of effort we need day in and day out."
Caleb Lonkard (0-1) was tagged with the loss in relief, allowing two runs on three hits in 2.2 innings.
The Hatters return to action when they host Bethune-Cookman, 6:30 p.m., Tuesday at Melching Field.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
Oct. 19, 2012
Free tickets are available for the debate between Howard Dean, former governor of Vermont and Fred Thompson, former U.S. senator from Tennessee, at the Saint Vincent College New Horizons Speakers Series at 7 p.m. Thursday, October 25 in the Performing Arts Center of the Robert S. Carey Student Center on the campus of Saint Vincent College. Both are former presidential candidates. Dean, former DNC Chairman, presidential candidate, six-term governor and physician, currently works as an independent consultant focusing on the areas of health care, early childhood development, alternative energy and the expansion of grassroots politics around the world. He also serves as a CNBC contributor and is the founder of Democracy for America. He began his career in public service in 1982 when he transitioned from a full-time practicing physician to an elected representative in Vermont. Dean served as Governor for 12 years - the second longest serving in the state. Respected on both sides of the political aisle, Dean was chairman of the National Governors' Association, the Democratic Governors' Association and the New England Governors' Conference while he served as Governor of Vermont. Dean left office in Vermont to run for President in 2003 where he implemented innovative fundraising strategies such as use of the Internet. As chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Dean created and implemented the "50 State Strategy" and the development of 21st century campaign tools. He is credited with helping Democrats make historic gains in 2006 and 2008. Under his leadership, significant resources were dedicated to revitalizing the Party by building and strengthening the organizational tools, technological capabilities and infrastructure required to win while laying the foundation for a long-term Democratic majority. Before entering politics, Dean graduated from Yale University with a B.A. in political science in 1971, and received his medical degree from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City in 1978. Upon completing his residency at the Medical Center Hospital of Vermont, he went on to practice internal medicine in Shelburne, Vermont. He is married to Dr. Judy Steinberg and they have two children, Anne and Paul. Fred Thompson is one of the most respected and visible figures speaking out on the important challenges facing America today. Thompson's uniquely American life has been marked not only by recognizing opportunity when it arose, but by answering the call to public service and leadership. His dedication to law and passion for the founding principles that laid America's foundation led him to serve for eight years as a Senator from Tennessee and to his recent presidential campaign. Elected to the United States Senate in 1994, his independent approach to campaigning has become legendary; he refused to play by the establishment's political rules. Driving a red pickup truck, he took to the highways and back roads of the Volunteer State, talking to Tennessee citizens from the back of what became the symbol of his campaign. Thompson spoke about the need for a competent and ethical federal government, reminding voters of the importance of self-government and lower taxes. His effort paid off; he defeated a 6-term Congressman by a large margin of victory. Two years later, the people of Tennessee returned him to office with more votes than any candidate for any office in the state's history at that time. Serving as Chairman of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, and as a member of the Finance Committee and Select Committee on Intelligence, Thompson focused on lowering taxes, strengthening national security, and cutting wasteful government spending. In the tradition of President George Washington, a leader Thompson had admired growing up, he walked away from an easy reelection victory in 2002 to seek new challenges. Prior to his election, Thompson maintained law offices in Nashville and Washington. Earlier in his career, he served as an Assistant United States Attorney in Tennessee. In 1973, he was appointed by Senator Howard Baker to serve as Minority Counsel to the Senate Watergate Committee where Thompson first gained national attention for leading the line of inquiry that revealed the audio-taping system in the White House Oval Office. He detailed his Watergate experience in his Watergate memoir, At That Point in Time. In 1974, after the Watergate hearings concluded, Thompson returned to the practice of law. Thompson first appeared on screen in the film "Marie" in 1985, portraying himself in the fact-based story of a high-profile public corruption case he handled in Tennessee. Since then, he has appeared in numerous movies and television programs, including "No Way Out," "In the Line of Fire," "Die Hard II," "Days of Thunder" and "The Hunt for Red October" and the television series "China Beach," "Wiseguy," and "Matlock." Recently, he has become known for his portrayal of New York District Attorney Arthur Branch on the Emmy Award-winning NBC drama, "Law and Order."The New Horizons Speakers Series is made possible through the support of the Saint Vincent College Office of Student Affairs in cooperation with the Student Government Association and the First Year Seminar Program. The Series is designed to present nationally-recognized speakers who have distinguished themselves in a variety of fields. The mission of the Series is to encourage the development of a balanced approach to a liberal arts education that seamlessly combines academic and student life. Complimentary tickets may be picked up in the Office of Campus Life in the Carey Center. Further information is available from the Office of Campus Life, 724 805-2094, firstname.lastname@example.com.

"Cacee really wanted a Southern-style backyard wedding," says Paige Appel of Bash, Please, the event company behind the nuptials. "She wanted it to feel down-home."
Maid of honor Jessica Simpson and best man Zach Braff watched as Cobb walked down the aisle in a strapless gown, escorted by her father Ed Cobb. Other guests included Ashlee Simpson, Seth Green, Faison's Scrubs costar Sarah Chalke and Clueless costars Breckin Meyer, Elisa Donovan and Stacey Dash.
"Everyone was teary-eyed," says Appel. "It was very sweet."
Cobb, 35, and Faison, 38, who recited personal vows, incorporated the tradition of "jumping the broom" into the ceremony and also had a gospel choir perform their favorite songs. Family friend Joe Simpson also spoke.
"He talked about how Cacee is like his third daughter and how she is such a blessing and support to the Simpson family," says Appel. "He was emotional."
"Jessica mentioned how long she and Cacee have been best friends and how honored she is that Cacee is godmother to her daughter," says Kelly Harris of Bash, Please. "She said Cacee's like her soul mate." Simpson later Tweeted a photo from the happy event.
"I was the maid of honor last night for my BF @caceecobb," wrote Simpson. "She was the most beautiful bride I have ever seen in my life!"
After a moving first dance to a song by the groom's pal Josh Radin, bluegrass band the Get Down Boys played as guests indulged in a menu from Whoa, Nelly, inspired by Cacee's Southern roots: fried chicken, collard greens, sweet potato pie. In lieu of a wedding cake, guests chowed down on apple pie, butterscotch pudding and red velvet mini-cakes.
Later, says Appel, "everyone danced all night" to the tunes from '80s cover band Knyght Ryder. Even the groom got in on the action, jumping onstage to sing a New Edition song alongside his buddies.
And in a final sweet note, every attendee went home with a nod to Donald's favorite food, a mason jar containing a slice of yellow birthday cake with white frosting.

On the surface, the proposal seems almost too good to be true: a 72,000-seat stadium, with a retractable roof, a convention center and a sports and culture museum, all part of a $1.4 billion project that would lure hundreds of thousands of visitors to the outer harbor, while ensuring the Bills' long-term future in Buffalo.
But the devil is in the details, and many community leaders think the proposal is too good to be true, especially since project leaders are asking for a public commitment of waterfront land.
Those principals, Nicholas J. Stracick and George F. Hasiotis, say the key to moving forward is obtaining an option for up to a year on 167 acres of publicly owned land on the outer harbor.
"I truthfully think all they're interested in is the land," County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz said of Stracick's group. "He's trying to get the land because of the value that's there. If you notice, he said give me the land, and then I'll announce the parties that are involved. That's not how you go about it."
Hasiotis replied that the land option would be limited, to nine to 12 months, enough to study traffic, parking, environmental and other impacts. And he told Erie County legislators last month that if the group obtains an option on the land, the project would become "more bankable and more fundable."
"Anybody who questions that is either not informed or is irresponsible, because it's a no-cost, win-win proposition, at no expense to the public," Hasiotis added.
Close to a dozen local community leaders were asked to weigh in on the project, and skepticism emerged as the overwhelming consensus.
"I think it's a very interesting concept, whose feasibility for many, many reasons is questionable," Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo, said of the Stracick-Hasiotis plan unveiled in October. "I think that they need to answer some fundamental questions."
Higgins was more polite than others. Some called the proposal unrealistic and a pipe dream.
These community leaders expressed several fundamental concerns and objections about the plan:
• No disclosure of financial commitments. Based on other similar projects, the company has said the state might pay about $400 million, the National Football League $200 million to $400 million, and the construction trades hundreds of millions more.
• A lack of support from either the Bills or the NFL.
• The difficulty in procuring an option for the outer harbor site owned by the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority.
• Major transportation and parking headaches for 72,000 people heading to and from a Bills game on the outer harbor, which has limited access.
• Questioning whether a football stadium is the best use of the waterfront.
"It's unrealistic to think that anybody who's not a multibillionaire is going to be able to pull this off," said Jordan Levy, former chairman of the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corp. "I love the energy. I love the vision, but it's unrealistic. It's going to take a huge government subsidy and a tenant who has the wherewithal. They have neither."
The group president is Stracick, a former umpire and City Court marshal. He sued Walt Disney Co. with the claim that Disney had stolen an idea he and a partner pitched for a sports complex at the Florida theme park. A jury awarded the two $240 million, but the verdict was tied up by appeals. Stracick and the partner later settled with Disney for an undisclosed amount.
"I'd love to see something like this happen," said County Legislator Joseph C. Lorigo, a West Seneca Conservative. "I just don't know if these are the people to put this together."
Stracick, in a recent meeting with county legislators, said he was undeterred by detractors.
"If you don't want to vote yes on it, watch me do it, bottom line," Stracick told the lawmakers, recounting his role in the Disney battle. "I'm one guy, but I've gotten it done so far, and I'll get it done, believe you me."
Why are so many people skeptical about the project?
"I think, unfortunately, that we have our group of friendly little oligarchs here," Hasiotis said, referring to the same small group that takes an active role in such development. "They're all our friends and neighbors, but it's either their way or the highway. That is not healthy, and that's been the problem in Buffalo for probably 50 years."
He and others cited several recent developments:
• The Buffalo Common Council on Tuesday voted its unanimous support for exploring the feasibility of the proposal. Project organizers also made a presentation to Western New York's state legislators.
• Last month, Stracick made a $25,000 contribution to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's re-election campaign; Hasiotis plans to meet soon with Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy to discuss the proposal.
• Hasiotis said the revenue generated by the project can dwarf the revenue from fewer than 10 NFL Sundays, citing a similar project in Indianapolis, which has generated $2.2 billion in direct economic impact in five years.
"We're turning this whole model of professional football upside down," he explained. "We're not going to be subsidizing the Buffalo Bills. We're actually going to provide a quantifiable return on the public investment."
Part of that project would be the North American Museum of Sports and Culture, to be operated by the Strong Museum, which attracts more guests to downtown Rochester than the Bills' annual home games.
"At first, this idea seemed like science fiction, but given the fortunate site, the urgent timing, the careful preliminary planning and the possibility of co-anchoring the international gateway with a stadium and a sports and culture museum, this has grown into a plausible, mature idea," said Scott G. Eberle, vice president for play studies at Strong.
Others, though, questioned all the unknowns about the project, especially the funding, the outer harbor land transfer and the parking and transportation issues.
"If we could pull this off, it would be absolutely incredible for our community," said County Legislator Edward A. Rath III, R-Amherst. "But right now, it's a lot of wishful thinking and not much realistic reasoning."
Even the most skeptical welcomed the proposal, for sparking a communitywide dialogue now – not during deadline-pressured stadium negotiations – about the prospects for a new stadium, whether it's in downtown Buffalo or elsewhere.
"They have stimulated public discussion about a new stadium," Higgins said of Hasiotis and Stracick. "That, in itself, is good."
Community leaders differ on the need for a new stadium.
"I do think that the governor is correct that we have to study building a stadium," Levy said. "If we do not build a new stadium in the next five to 10 years, you can say goodbye to the Buffalo Bills. I don't think there's any doubt about it."
Poloncarz said the county has done some preliminary work to identify potential sites for a stadium in the city. The new 10-year lease for county-owned Ralph Wilson Stadium sets aside money starting in 2018 to explore the options.
"The bones of the stadium are good," Poloncarz said. "The question is, can you continually have, at that point, a 50-year facility host this team? I don't know. We know that we can do it for another 10 years."

This looks like it is going to be a fantastic presentation. Looking forward to seeing it in person!
Doh! I wasn't logged in on my previous comment. Anyway, I think this is a "must-see" for any serious web developer/designer.
"There is no mobile Web, there is no desktop Web, and there is no tablet Web. We view the same Web just in different ways. So how do we do it? Sitting next to HTML5 is its friend CSS3 with its support for Media Queries."
This is one of the worst ideas spreading these days.
I agree for desktop/ipad (no, not for 7" tablets), but mobile ?
Look at the one example URL http://sasquatchfestival.com/ (which, by the way, is much too big on a 24" full HD monitor) : wow, it can be resized for mobile, so great ! Yay ! Impressive !
But it uses the same images than the big desktop version and plenty of hidden HTML tags. So ok, if you want a slow responsiveness and make the users phones download 3 f*cking Mo of data to show a single page, go for it. I made a little test : over wifi on a mobile iPhone 3G, it took 30s before i had something else than a black screen, 45s before i see the navigation and 1mn to finish the loading of the page.
Maybe you want to give a try over 3G, i don't. I dont have enough patience.
People concerned with performance will use two different HTML templates, load what's necessary, have a clean DOM, AND develop faster. No crazy tricks, just two clean models.
That said, they will use media queries but for screen adjustment, but not to get an absolutely different layout, different menu and so...
i would like to know where I can find information about behaviours in CSS without using Java ,I would also like to know if you can convert a wow slider to HTML5 and use media queries to resize and

A man, interviewing for a coaching position, answers the common interview question: What is your disciplinary style? This is an example of a GOOD way to answer this question. The interviewer will be looking to see if you have a plan, you know how to implement it, and if you think that discipline is an important part of the position. Provide a clear action plan that can be backed up with examples. It is important that you can back up why it is effective and why you enjoy using it.

So says Lynn Patridge in apologizing for a cringe-inducing, profane rant caught on video after her reality star daughter Audrina Patridge was surprisingly eliminated from Dancing with the Stars this week.
"I was extremely emotional after her elimination – it just came as such a shock," Lynn says. "I want to apologize for offending anyone."
Lynn, who admitted she had been drinking, unloaded on the dance show and took shots at her daughter's former Hills castmates in her diatribe Wednesday outside the Hollywood hotspot Beso.
"I am sincerely sorry for the negative things I said in the heat of the moment," Lynn says. "As a mother, there is no pain in this world like seeing your children upset. I am so proud of my daughter and all she has accomplished on Dancing with the Stars."

2012 Antigone
The 42nd Annual Classical Greek Theater Festival
In a time of protests and the fall of tyrants Sophocles' Antigone seems both timely and timeless. At its root are the basic conflicts between individual and state, human and divine law, logic and passion, conflicts between the genders and generations. The play first and foremost tells the tale of a young woman whose actions are motivated by family, concern for the unwritten law of the gods and the duty to bury her dead brother, leading directly to her trial and death. But the play also focuses on the tragic downfall of Creon whose single-minded devotion to the state results in the loss of both wife and son. A plot pattern of divine punishment involving Creon emerges from Antigone's self-sacrifice. The double plot action is counter-pointed by one of Sophocles' most rich, dense and lyrical choruses, whose famous "Ode to Man" seems to encapsulate 5th century Athens with all its tensions. This play fascinates philosophers for its interplay of ideas, fascinates the cultural historians for its look at 5th century Athens, and fascinates the modern playgoer for its fast-paced plot, complex and contradictory characters, and almost inevitable movement toward tragic loss and death.

Well, he's technically my BIL but I love him like a real brother. He's 17 years old and he's totally starting to go down the wrong path. He used to play football, but at the beginning of summer he hurt his back really badly and can no longer play. He started making new friends and they're all into drugs. BIL doesn't have a car but he'll get a ride from a friend or walk after school to go smoke somewhere. Sometimes even on a week day, he'll leave for school in the morning and then not be home til 10, 11, midnight. OR, if he does come home in the afternoon, he'll leave after everyone's gone to bed.
He's not rude or defiant or argumentative. When my MIL asks him why he does this stuff he says because he's bored and has nothing else to do, and he feels like no one cares about him. He has a job selling newspaper subscriptions, but it's not steady with set hours or anything. And since he doesn't have a car, it makes it hard for him to get a different job (his boss for the newspaper gives him rides). FIL and MIL both work long hours so they're not always there to supervise him. DH and I bring BIL to our house a lot on the weekends because his friends don't want to drive over here to pick him up, and BIL is being entertained by DH and doesn't want to leave anyway.
DH has tried talking with him and tells him he can't keep doing this. BIL will agree and say that he knows that it's bad, but then it'll happen again and he'll say "well, we were just going to hang out, nd then I was just gonna take ONE hit, but then it got me high so I kept taking more hits..." My MIL is really upset and is blaming herself for his behavior. I'm really worried about BIL too, that he might get kicked out of school or in trouble with the police, or he'll get in a car accident because the driver's high, or he'll move on to stronger drugs, etc.
Can you think of anything that might help my BIL? :(

A woman's long-time dream became a reality when she had her crafts and antiques store's grand opening Saturday.
Stephanie Kern, of Risingsun, bought the building at 212 State St., Bettsville, in March. Her store, Daydreams and Memories, opened almost four months after she left her job to pursue opening a crafts store.
"This has always been something I've wanted to do, and my husband found a building and said, 'Let's go for it,'" Kern said. "I'd probably still be dreaming about it, but he said, 'Let's go.'"

Interior view of Daydreams and Memories in Bettsville.
The store is to sell crafts, collectibles and antiques, she said. She also makes many of the crafts in the store, and she buys some items from garage sales and flea markets.
The store has pictures, candles and garden decorations, among other crafts and antiques, most of which sell for less than $50, she said.
"I probably have something for everybody, even if it's just a gumball," Kern said.
Kern and her family has spent the past three months working on remodeling the interior of the store from the ply wood floor to the ceiling.
She said her husband, Tim, helped with the renovations, including building the counter.
"He did a great job, he's awesome," she said. "We wanted it to look farm-y, country, barn-like."
Kern said she has gotten help from her daughters, sisters-in-law, mother and friends with the store.
"I want to take it all home with me, and my husband says, 'It's all for sale,'" Kern said. "I got all of this yard stuff to sell in the store that was the plan and as we're loading it up, I was like, I really like this, I want to put it in my yard. I want it all for me, so I have a hard time parting with things because I love everything I have."
Last February, she left her job at Liberty Center of Sandusky County, a homeless shelter where she had worked for 12 years.
"I just kind of decided it was time for a change," Kern said.
She said she has been interested in crafts and antiques for as long as she can remember.
"I've always loved doing crafts, and with my job I had at the shelter, I just didn't have time to do any of that stuff," Kern said. "I like doing craft shows and that kind of stuff, but I didn't have time to pursue any of that or do any of that. So this is kind of a dream come true, and I've been wanting to do it for as long as I can remember."
Kern said she had the name Daydreams and Memories picked out for her store "For as long as (she) can remember."
She said the "daydreams" refers to the ideas and creativity involved in the crafts and the "memories" is about the antiques.
"I'm just hoping it'll be semi-successful," Kern said. "I just want it to be fun; it's just something I've always wanted to do, and I hope it'll be fun. If I can break even every month, I'll be good. That's what I'm hoping for."

on December 1, 2012 - 1:00 AM
By Andrew Hyland
After years of lying, are tobacco companies now going to tell the truth? Time will tell whether the recent court order from U.S. District Court Judge Gladys Kessler will finally force the tobacco companies to admit they deliberately deceived the American public.
In and of itself, the judge's ruling is an astounding document. Tobacco companies must now issue corrective statements about their deception through newspaper and television advertising, on the companies' websites and on cigarette packaging. Each corrective statement must begin with this sentence: "A Federal Court has ruled that the defendant tobacco companies deliberately deceived the American public."
The required factual statements are strong and clear. They include, among others:
• "Smoking kills, on average, 1,200 Americans every day."
• "Cigarette companies intentionally designed cigarettes with enough nicotine to create and sustain addiction."
• "More people die every year from smoking than from murder, AIDS, suicide, drugs, car crashes and alcohol, combined."
These are the facts. Here is another. The tobacco companies have long fought this legal action in the courts. The case began in 1999 and was decided in 2006 when Kessler found the tobacco companies guilty of violating civil racketeering laws. The judge was quoted at the time as saying, "Defendants have engaged in and executed a massive 50-year scheme to defraud the public, including consumers of cigarettes …"
Big Tobacco's resistance to the truth is well-known. In 1954, Philip Morris co-sponsored ads in major U.S. newspapers promising that its cigarettes were safe. (They weren't.) In 1972, Philip Morris executives said, "if our product is harmful, we will stop making it." (They didn't.) More recently, in 2000, the company clarified a website statement regarding smoking and addiction, saying it should not be considered " … a public admission that cigarettes cause illness. It does not." (We all know cigarettes do cause disease.) Tobacco companies have for decades lied about their products and the consequences of using tobacco.
While the courts and tobacco companies continue to slug it out, in Western New York, we have taken matters into our own hands and are making progress. Communities are adopting smoke-free parks policies and property owners are declaring their apartments smoke-free. Every day, the New York State Smokers' Quitline, located at Roswell Park Cancer Institute, is helping people break their addiction to tobacco. Yet there is more to be done. We can urge our local municipalities to use their authority to reduce tobacco marketing in local stores and prohibit the sale of tobacco in pharmacies. We will not be fooled by tobacco lies.
Andrew Hyland, Ph.D., is chairman of the Department of Health Behavior at Roswell Park Cancer Institute.

EAST LIVERPOOL - Three matches turned the tide.
The Oak Glen wrestling team picked up a pair of thrilling victories to comeback to defeat East Liverpool, 45-30, Thursday night at Potter Fieldhouse.
"I'm happy with the win," Oak Glen head coach Patrick McGillian said. "We had multiple reserves in our lineup tonight, and everyone wrestled with intensity. They all wrestled a full match, and it paid off for us."

Each team was unable to fill all 14 weight classes, and both teams ended up gaining two victories via forfeit.
"We had two forfeit two weight classes, and it is real tough to win a match when you are spotting a team points."
All told, the Golden Bears won nine weight classes. The Potters were victorious in five.

285: Nick Cotter (EL) forfeit
Oak Glen won four matches by pinfall, and three matches by decision to go along with its two forfeit victories. East Liverpool won three matches by pinfall to go along with its two forfeit victories.
For the Golden Bears, Kyle Mack (126 pounds), Devan Chadwick (160), Brodie Bittinger (170) and Barry Strum (220) all won matches by pinfall.
"Bonus points made the difference tonight," McGillian said. "We were able to get some pins. We were able to get it done. Hopefully, we can carry this momentum into Saturday."
Also, Ryan DeBee (113), Josh Cornell (120) and Patrick Arneault (145) all tallied victories by decision.
For the Potters, Alex Potts (106), Frankie Williams (132) and Jimmy Lisk (182) all won via pinfall.
The first turning point of the match came at 120 pounds where DeBee hooked up with Joel Cunningham. Cunningham seemed to be in control, but DeBee fought back to earn a 5-2 victory.
The second turning point in the match came at 120 pounds where Cornell faced off against Cody Oiler.
Oiler was in control of things for most of the match. The sophomore was out in front by a score of 8-3 with only seconds remaining in the match.
Cornell was done, but he proved to be far from out of it. Cornell recorded a reversal for two points, and then he scored three back points to tie the match at 8 to send the match into overtime.
In overtime, Cornell continued his momentum, and he picked up two points to win the match, 10-8.
"The match Cornell won was just crazy," McGillian said. "That was the most-exciting match I have seen in my short time involved with wrestling.
"I am very proud of Josh. He wrestled the whole match."
The third turning point of the match came at 145 where Arneault squared off against Kris Bailey. Bailey was ahead, but Arneault was able to battle back and win the match, 8-5.
"There were a few exciting matches that we were on the wrong end of," Hager said. "If we had won those matches, and it would have been a different story."
In the matches decided via pinfall won by the Golden Bears, Mack pinned Julius Davis in 37 seconds, Chadwick pinned Tyler Croskey in 1:50, Bittinger pinned Chad Reed in 1:44 and Strum pinned Cole Hamilton in 40 seconds.
"We had to bump some kids around, and they were able to get some big wins," McGillian said. "They did everything we asked."
Finally for Oak Glen, Tanner Crosby (138) and Will Hogan (152) won via forfeit.
In the matched won by pinfall won by the Potters, Potts pinned Shane Logston in 2:53, Williams pinned Avery Flowers in 5:45 and Lisk by pinned Noah Flowers in 47 seconds.
Williams was down in his match against Avery Flowers, but the senior standout battled back by taking down Avery Flowers. Then when the match was restarted with 21.4 seconds showing on the clock, Williams continued his momentum as he took down his opponent before getting the pin.
By rallying to win the match, Williams showed why he was won more than 100 matches in his high school career.
"We did have one of those matches go our way," Hager said. "Frankie Williams was able to come back and get a pin. He was behind, and he was able to score the pin."
Finally for East Liverpool, John Miscuk (195) and Nick Cotter (285) both won their matches by forfeit.
"The kids wrestled hard," Hager said. "This is just another step as we prepare for the postseason. We have a tri-match next week. It will be on Senior Night. Then, we will have a tri-match next Saturday. From there, we will go into the postseason."
Oak Glen will wrestle Saturday at the Panther Classic down at Buckeye Local High School.
"I know they have a lot of teams there," McGillian said. "There are teams from Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. There will be a lot of good competition. It will help us prepare for regionals."
East Liverpool will wrestle Wednesday at home against Wellsville and Crestview.

Renee Kirby and Benjamin Swallow exchanged wedding vows at 2:30 p.m. May 19, 2012, at Trinity United Methodist Church, Youngstown. The Rev. Ronald Spore was officiant during the double-ring ceremony. A reception followed at The Links at Firestone Farms, Columbiana.
The bride is the daughter of David and Sharon Kirby of Tiffin.

The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore an ivory gown with a ruched, fitted bodice and a sweetheart neckline. The skirt had ruffles of organza swirl with ivory feathers. The dress was adorned with a feather broach where the bodice and skirt met. She wore the same broach in her hair attached to a birdcage veil. She carried a bouquet of light pink peonies, ivory roses and hypericum berries accented with ivory feathers.
Laura Sebulsky of Lebanon was her sister's matron of honor.

September's column was intended to be a potpourri of excerpts from students who blogged about their Olympic Academic Experience in London this summer. Instead, when an Olympian from the 2012 Games paid a personal visit to the Tiffin University campus earlier this month by invitation of Dr. Gretchen Carroll, it became apparent that the focus would shift to profiling the personal side of Katie Bell, USA diver.
Olympic athletes are notoriously competitive. They train with intensity and purpose. They are driven by goals, accomplishments, and unimaginable feats of superiority in their respective sport. A miniscule portion of the U.S. population is ever worthy enough to earn the title as an Olympian, but once an Olympian, always an Olympian. Bell earned that elusive title by claiming second in the 10-meter platform event at the U.S. Diving trials. Only two spots were available for the London Olympics.
A casual dinner with Katie upon her arrival paved the way for ensuring one of the most memorable guests to visit Tiffin University would find camaraderie among the friendly faces she would greet on campus the next day. The 2012 Olympian spoke candidly about juggling responsibilities while studying, interning, and training/competing at The Ohio State University over the past years. When asked if she was more proud of her college degree in social work or her recent Olympic performance, the seemingly shy 24-year-old was quick to note an inability to make a distinction. The tiny Olympian beamed as she described the sense of pride that was shared by her six siblings (she is directly in the middle), her devoted parents, and her thousands upon thousands of supporters.
Yes, Katie has boatloads of supporters ranging from elementary children back in her hometown of Clintonville (near Columbus) to the brave troops stationed in Afghanistan who used their Twitter accounts to follow the Golden Girl from the Buckeye State. Katie didn't disappoint, either. She finished among the top 16 in the world at the 2012 Games.
The best description of Katie Bell is small in stature, big in heart. At 4-foot-11, she was officially the smallest U.S. female Olympian (Shillone Calvert on a Jamaican relay team was the overall smallest Olympian standing only 4-foot-5). Spending almost 24 hours with Katie, it was easy to see that she wears her heart on her sleeve. She has an infectious smile and a subtle persona of innocence despite being a fierce competitor with the fortune of experiencing the best in world class diving throughout Asia, Europe, and North America. Katie has personality, too! Check out the YouTube video featuring Bell and the USA Diving team lip synching and performing to Carly Rae Jepsen's pop tune, "Call Me Maybe."
Above all, Katie has perseverance. In her first Big Ten championship meet, the freshman crashed and suffered a collapsed lung, separated her chest cartilage, and popped several ribs out of place. It took two years to heal and over two more years to get back into elite training shape. During her red-shirted sophomore year, Katie spent time with psychologists to regain her focus while continuing with whatever out-of-water physical training she could handle. Soon after she was back in the pool, she suffered another physical set-back with a torn labrum and rotator cuff damage to her right shoulder that required surgery. It took an insurmountable courage and dedication to get back on the platform and perfect a skill that so few have mastered at the level Katie has achieved. Indeed, the little firecracker who first dreamed of the Olympics when only a five-year-old gymnast had the heart, mind, and courage to rise above adversity and finally triumph on the World's biggest sports stage.
There was little Katie Bell up on Tiffin University's academic stage last week telling everyone the story of how seemingly impossible dreams can come true if you stay focused and believe. Before reading a prepared speech to an audience who eagerly awaited her visit, Katie suggested it was more nerve-racking to be up on a stage speaking than it was to be competing on a 10-meter diving platform. After her brief presentation, she candidly answered dozens of interest-related questions, such as who she met in the Olympic Village, how it felt to be at the Opening Ceremonies, when she knew she someday could make the Olympics, and how she liked the fish and chips in London. One of her favorite memories was having dinner with Michael Phelps in the dining hall at the Olympic Village.
In a classroom visit with sport management students earlier in the day, Katie shared more scholarly insights on the London Games. She described staffing and operations for international competition and the high level of security at the Aquatic Center, in the Olympic Park, and in the Olympic Village. She described everyday life in the Village and the steps to process Olympic athletes, coaches, officials and media when they initially arrived to the airport. She shared training tips USA athletes received to properly interact and interview with the media. Finally, she explained the composition and governance of the USA Diving Team and the general services (massages, transportation, medical) afforded Olympians during the Games.
Katie also shared her personal training regimen for the London Olympics, which included traveling to the Host City almost a month prior to the start of the Games. The team stayed in the Village and took a few days to get acclimated to the Olympic Aquatic Center. Then, the USA team sequestered themselves by traveling two hours north to train in Leicester, England before returning just prior to the Opening Ceremonies. Interestingly, Katie chose not to personally interact with any of her family or friends traveling thousands of miles to support her in London until after her event finished. "I wanted to minimize any distractions. I knew my family and friends would be super-excited when they arrived and I needed to stay calm and focused," Katie explained.
During lunch later in the day, Katie had an idea. She threw on a Tiffin University Sport Management Club T-shirt, smiled as someone took a picture on her iPhone, and proceeded to tweet about her campus visit to her more than 2,000 followers. It was apparent the mighty little Olympic dynamo with the shy side was enjoying the afternoon.
Two days after her visit to Tiffin, Katie moved to Colorado for the sole purpose of fun and relaxation. She accepted a part-time job as a club diving coach and is looking forward to a little snowboarding and just "playing" in the fresh air of the high altitude of the Rockies. Only time will tell if Katie will apply to Graduate School or get back into serious training for a shot to make the synchronized diving squad for Rio in 2016.
So small in stature, so big in heart. It was indeed fortunate that Katie Bell visited just weeks after the 2012 Games to spark a genuine Olympic spirit on the TU campus. Her story was a golden opportunity compared to some of the hot sport topics ranging from the replacement NFL officials to the 10,000 runners participating in Tiffin's Cross Country Carnival last weekend.
Stay tuned next month for that collection of Olympic memories from students who traveled to the 2012 London Games. As always, it is a pleasure to share interesting and fascinating sport stories from around the Globe to our vibrant community in northwest Ohio.
Bonnie Tiell is the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies at Tiffin University.

Lea Michele's debut album, Louder, doesn't hit stores for another two weeks, but the Glee star is giving fans an early listen to one of the singer's most personal tracks.
Michele shared a link to the full audio track for "You're Mine," a moving ballad that is a tribute to her late boyfriend and co-star, Cory Monteith, who died in July. "My next . . . track #YOUREMINE (available tomorrow) is my favorite song on #LOUDER," she tweeted Monday. "It's so special to me & its story is so close to my heart."
Remember other celebrities we lost last year
The song's heartfelt lyrics include, "And you said those three words I've been waiting for/ You became a part of me," as well as "You're mine, for life/ And I'll be by your side/ We are entwined/ You're mine, for life."
Michele, 27, spoke about the song, and its special meaning, to Elle late last year. "The album was done, and the label said, 'Do you want to add anything?' I was like, 'I might regret it if I don't,'" she said at the time. "It makes me think so much of Cory. It was ours. When I think if him, I play this."

Looks like voters in Parkland School District will decide if they are willing to pay a higher annual tax for a new Parkland Community Library.
Without taking a position on the merits of the proposal, on Tuesday night the Parkland School Board voted 7-1 to get a referendum on the ballot of the Nov. 6 municipal election that proposes tripling the library tax.
That tax is the library's major source of funding. It is collected from residents of North Whitehall, South Whitehall and Upper Macungie townships – the three municipalities in Parkland School District.
"The school district is not increasing the tax," stressed school board solicitor C. Steven Miller. "The school district has nothing to do with whether this tax gets increased or not. The school district is merely a vehicle that the library needs to use to get this question on the ballot."
By approving the referendum, Miller explained, the school board was only saying: "We're going to let the voters decide whether they want to increase this special tax."
"We are neutral without position on the question," stressed board member Roberta Marcus, who explained the school district just collects the tax for the library.
The school board's neutrality on the possible tax increase "was appropriate for their role," said library vice president Barry Cohen after the meeting. "We were not disappointed and we very much appreciate what they did tonight."
The board solicitor said the school district is involved only because the library does not have the authority to collect taxes or to submit a tax referendum question. "It has to go through a municipality or a school district. They've chosen the school district because it encompasses the three townships."
If approved by voters in the three townships, the tax increase will triple the amount they pay to the library each year, according to Parkland Community Library officials who attended the meeting but did not address the school board.
They explained a homeowner whose home is worth $100,000 now pays a $10 annual library tax. If the increase is approved, that will jump up to $29.78 a year. Someone with a home worth $200,000 will pay $59.56 rather than the $20 they now pay.
The resolution passed by the board states that the increased library tax will be reduced when the library pays off its loan for its planned new building – no later than July 1, 2035.
School board member Barry Long cast the only no vote, without offering any explanation during the board meeting.
After the meeting, Long said: "I support the board moving forward."
He added: "Now I'll let the resolution speak for itself. When people read the resolution, they should understand why I voted no." He said taxpayers will have to decide if they want to support a $9.5 million project for 20 years.
That resolution passed by the board, including the ballot question and a "plain English" explanation, is online.
The referendum question must be approved by the Lehigh County elections board to be placed on the November ballot.
If approved by voters, the library tax will increase on July 1.
Miller said that tax rate has not changed since it first was approved by voters in 1998.
The rate's been the same, but the amount of money generated by the tax has increased as more people moved into the school district, explained library board president Karl Siebert.
Siebert said that tax generated about $735,000 for the library last year.
If voters approve that increase, he said the revised tax will generate about $2.1 million a year for the library.
Siebert said about 80 percent of his library's annual budget comes from that library tax. It gets about 10 percent of the budget from the state and the rest of the money comes from donations, grants and fines.
He said about 56,000 people live in the three townships that the library serves and the library has 21,500 cardholders.
Siebert indicated the marketing strategy to convince residents to vote for the tax increase has not yet been fully worked out, but mentioned it will include yard signs.
He said the library's a political action committee, funded by donations, will do direct marketing after the ballot question is accepted by the county elections board.

COLUMBIA — House Speaker Bobby Harrell has some powerful legal muscle behind him as he faces a state inquiry into allegations that he used his campaign account and legislative office for personal gain.
Charleston attorney Gedney Howe said in February that he had been retained as Harrell's private counsel during an initial investigation by State Law Enforcement Division agents.
Howe is known for having represented high-profile South Carolina politicians before, including state Rep. Tim Wilkes of Winnsboro, the only state lawmaker who was prosecuted but found not guilty during the "Operation Lost Trust" corruption scandal that rocked South Carolina in 1990.
Now, another notable attorney with ties to Lost Trust is advising Harrell, former U.S. attorney Bart Daniel. Daniel, now in private practice in Charleston, was the one prosecuting lawmakers then, not representing them as he is now.
Daniel said this week that he actually has been working for Harrell alongside Howe, though the speaker's office in February said Howe was Harrell's private attorney. Daniel said he and Harrell, a Charleston Republican, have a long-standing relationship.
Daniel's specialties include white-collar and business cases.
The question of how Harrell is funding his legal defense remains open. Harrell spokesman Greg Foster has said in response to recent questions that Harrell's office will not be commenting on any aspect of the investigation.
Gov. Nikki Haley paid for private representation through her campaign account as she has faced long-standing ethics allegations from GOP activist John Rainey.
Harrell has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in reaction to allegations by S.C. Policy Council President Ashley Landess, saying she has launched "a baseless attack that is driven by personal and political vendetta."
State Attorney General Alan Wilson's office in February asked SLED to investigate Landess' complaint.
That inquiry has begun, but it's unclear how long it will take. SLED's policy is not to comment on any investigation while it is ongoing.

Previous versions of this story had an incorrect first name for former state Rep. Tim Wilkes. The Post and Courier regrets the error.

The on-again Twilight stars, whose relationship had been rocked last year by Stewart's cheating scandal, were spotted at a karaoke bar Tuesday in Los Angeles.
Laura Austin, editor for online skateboarding site The Berrics, Tweeted out this picture of her pal Lany Morrison being "attacked by vampires last night" – and included some details from Pattinson and Stewart's low-key night out with a male and female friend.
"They were just out with some friends having a good time. Nice people," Austin wrote, adding "he seemed to be a little shy."
One thing she was able to confirm is the status of Pattinson's much-debated 'do. Previously thought to be bald, it turns out the actor, who was recently in Australia filming the dystopian film The Rover, "just has a high & tight haircut," Austin Tweeted.

Ron and Rosie Cimini said they do not need a new house or a new car.
The couple doesn't need to go on vacation.
But they knew their help was needed to give the community a new YMCA.
So in August, the Ciminis announced that they were donating $1 million to help build a new YMCA in Williamsport.
"I just said, 'We're going to do it,'" Ron said. "I go to the Y just about every day. It's really the only place you can go to in town and you can see somebody being helped in some form, some age - young, old or whatever - everyday. And it just has a big impact on the community. And without a major gift, like ours, this Y wasn't going to be possible."
Dave Fagerstrom, president and CEO of the River Valley Regional YMCA, said the Ciminis' intentions were to help the Y, not to receive any type of recognition.
"(Ron) wasn't looking for personal glory or anything like that," Fagerstrom said. "He was looking at giving the gift to help the YMCA."
Ron was part of the committee responsible for raising funds for the new Y and as donations weren't coming in as fast as he had hoped, he understood something needed to happen. Ron went home and told Rosie he wanted to give a large donation to encourage the community to give.
Rosie's first question: Did the couple have $1 million to give away?
Ron assured her it was the right thing to do.
"I said, 'It's not a matter of whether you can afford it or not, it's a matter of what are you going to do with what you have.' And I can't think of anything better than to give $1 million to the Y," he said.
"And I agree," added Rosie.
When asked why they wanted to give such a large donation, the Ciminis said they have seen the impact the Y has on the community and its members, first hand. With a grandson who was diagnosed with autism, the couple turned to the Y for support.
Ron took his grandson to the Y, in hopes that an instructor could help him with different activities that he was struggling with in gym class. Although the instructors didn't know a lot about autism, Ron said they researched it and his grandson thrived under their supervision.
"She took the time on her own, went out and studied what she could about autism and she said, 'You know, I think I could help this kid.' You don't find that - you can't go and find that at a private gym or anything like that," Ron said.
He added that the story was just one example of why the Y is important.
Although they are helping to construct a new building, the couple said the Y is more about the people who work there.
"The biggest thing about the Y is not the building or anything, it's the people who work there," Ron said.
Fagerstrom added that the two are a "great asset for the Williamsport community," as they always are looking to help.
"Ron and Rosie are community-minded people," he said.
And Fagerstrom said Ron's initial motivation to "inspire" the community has worked out just as Cimini had hoped.
"We've had several major donors give since then and they've told us it was because of the Cimini donation so that passion has spread," Fagerstrom said.
The Ciminis now can't wait to see the finished product.
"What do you do with money? You can sit there and you can buy a bigger house. You can buy a bigger car. You can buy a bigger boat or whatever," Ron said. "I don't plan on ever retiring. So you know, look at it that way and it's kind of neat to see what that money will do. So let's hope it does it."

quote: Battery life cycle As the Prius reached ten years of being available in the U.S. market, in February 2011 Consumer Reports decided to look at the lifetime of the Prius battery and the cost to replace it. The magazine tested a 2002 Toyota Prius with over 200,000 miles on it, and compared the results to the nearly identical 2001 Prius with 2,000 miles tested by Consumer Reports 10 years before. The comparison showed little difference in performance when tested for fuel economy and acceleration. Overall fuel economy of the 2001 model was 40.6 miles per US gallon (5.79 L/100 km; 48.8 mpg-imp) while the 2002 Prius with high mileage delivered 40.4 miles per US gallon (5.82 L/100 km; 48.5 mpg-imp). The magazine concluded that the effectiveness of the battery has not degraded over the long run.[127] The cost of replacing the battery varies between US$2,200 and US$2,600 from a Toyota dealer, but low-use units from salvage yards are available for around US$500.[127] One piece of research indicates it may be worthwhile to rebuild batteries using good blades from defective used batteries.[128]

It's been a faithful friend for over three years, born witness to some momentous changes and events, and been here for me when I've needed to rant my arse off.
Most notably, it saw my return to the SF Convention circuit and the first, slightly fearful, postings of my fiction online…

"It wasn't like it was a big secret. It was just a cause I cared about and privately supported but not one that I had ever had an opportunity to speak out about in a way that would be useful," she tells Zap2it's Dish Rag.
Paquin, who's engaged to her True Blood costar Stephen Moyer, says she felt compelled to make the announcement, even though she's "not someone who endlessly talks about her personal life."
"Obviously, as someone who identifies as bisexual, those are issues I really care about – and frankly, I don't see why everyone doesn't care about them," she says.
And there was no hesitation on her part to come out. "When I was asked to participate in that PSA, it was just an obvious, 'Well, of course I will.' "

Dancing with the Stars Loses Wynonna
Then came Tuesday's elimination, after the singer ended Monday's prom-themed night in last place with only 15 points for her samba with partner Tony Dovolani.
And though D.L. Hughley and partner Cheryl Burke were only one point ahead with their salsa to James Brown's "Sex Machine," Wynonna and Tony are heading home.
"I've made a life time friend out of Tony," the country music icon said after hearing the difficult news. "This is the hardest job I've ever loved. I'm a singer, not a dancer. I did the best I could. I can't wait to get back to making my record and I love my country music fans more than ever."
Lisa Vanderpump and Gleb Savchenko and Andy Dick and Sharna Burgess were also in the bottom three.
Dancing returns Monday (8 p.m. ET) on ABC.
