Your home is your best tax shelter and this week's "5 Tips" by Gerri Willis is focused on finding all those deductions you can use. The tips are pretty much common sense except for #2, which I didn't know before reading. You should save all the receipts from home improvements and repairs because they can be deducted when you sell the home. So if you replaced your siding and it cost $2,000 then that's $2,000 you can deduct from the profit of the sale, thus reducing your capital gains tax.

Supreme Court Upholds Right under ADA to Sue States for Discrimination
In a split decision, on May 17th, the Supreme Court allowed citizens with disabilities to sue the state of Tennessee for monetary damages under Title II of the American With Disabilities Act (ADA), in the Tennessee v. Lane case. 2004 U.S. LEXIS 3386. Had the Supreme Court ruled that private citizens are prohibited from seeking relief from the state under Title II of the ADA, it may have severely limited the power of the ADA to protect the rights of individuals with disabilities against discrimination by state agencies. The Supreme Court had previously decreed that citizens may not sue states under Title I of the ADA, which covers employment. While the Court's decision is a victory for advocates for people with disabilities, including people with mental illnesses, the ultimate impact of the decision is unclear.
The ADA protects individuals with disabilities from discrimination, and helps ensure equal opportunity. Title II of the ADA specifically addresses state and local governments, and protects against discrimination in accessing public services, programs or activities. Title II covers a broad spectrum of state and local government functions ranging from access to public areas to voting to treatment in public healthcare institutions.
This particular case involved a man who was wheelchair bound and unable to attend his criminal trial because there was no elevator, or any other form of access, to the courtroom. He sued the state of Tennessee and was joined in this suit by a reporter who was also wheelchair bound. The state of Tennessee claimed that it was immune from an ADA suit by private citizens on the basis of the 11th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
The Supreme Court has interpreted the 11th Amendment to provide immunity for a state against all actions filed by individual citizens. However, there are exceptions to 11th Amendment state immunity, one of which is the protection of rights guaranteed under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. The 14th Amendment includes assurances of Equal Protection and Due Process under the law. The Equal Protection Clause guarantees equal treatment of all citizens under the law, and the Due Process Clause requires fairness in public programs and procedures, including legal procedures. When determining whether an alleged violation of basic rights by a state is substantial enough to warrant an exception to state immunity, courts must assess the magnitude of the alleged state violations of 14th amendment rights, and whether the requested relief to remedy these violations is proportional to those violations.
In a previous case, Board of Education of the University of Alabama v. Garrett, the Supreme Court determined that there was not sufficient evidence to support a pattern of discrimination by state agencies against individuals with disabilities in the realm of employment. 531 U.S. 356. The Court also implied that even if there was enough evidence, the suggested relief was not proportional to the alleged violations. And so the Court decreed that citizens could not bring suit against states under Title I of the ADA, which covers discrimination in employment.
Unlike Garrett, the Court in Lane found that there is ample historical evidence of disability-based discrimination by states in access to public places such as courtrooms. Therefore, the Court concluded that Congress did not exceed its constitutional authority by granting individuals the right to seek damages against states under Title II, at least in the context of accessing public venues such as Courthouses.
While the decision in Tennessee v. Lane applies to physical access to courtrooms, the decision provides a basis for optimism that the Supreme Court will similarly uphold the right of individuals to sue states under Title II of the ADA to remedy violations of other Constitutional rights. For example, people with mental disabilities have historically been victimized by restrictive state policies, such as disenfranchisement from voting, excess institutionalization, and mandatory sterilization. In 1999, the Court ruled in Olmstead v. L. C. by Zimring. that Title II of the ADA requires individuals with mental disabilities to be placed in the least restrictive treatment possible, since excessive treatment can be stigmatizing and is a form of discrimination. 527 U.S. 581. While the Olmstead decision was qualified (i.e. there must be a doctor's order that the individual is appropriate for less restrictive treatment and program resources are to be taken into account) the decision was still a benchmark in the history of protection from discrimination. Had the Court decided differently in Tennessee v. Lane, the potential impact of the Olmstead decision may have been mootsignificantly weakened. In the wake of the Court's recent decision, the Olmstead decision is likely to remain good law.

"I don't know what it is," Gailey said. "I've never been here before, so I'm in new territory."
It really is difficult to define. Good luck finding adjectives strong enough to describe the Bills in the last two games, maybe more. They have been a colossal failure that has pushed their coach to unfamiliar depths. Any coach would have been baffled after the 45-3 shellacking from the 49ers.
The Calamity at Candlestick was the last thing Buffalo needed after the disaster against New England. The Bills gave up 97 points in the last two games, 100 points in two division games, 48 points per game in their three losses and 35 points per game overall. The sky isn't falling but records are for the Bills and their opponents at an alarming rate.
If this keeps up, they're going to break a record for most records broken in a season. Buffalo's defense has allowed 580 yards and 621 yards in its last two games. Quick, what do you call it when the Bills allow 550 yards and lose by three touchdowns? Progress. What do you call it when they give up 300 yards? Halftime.
That's not a collection of jokes. It's a collection of facts, and in recent weeks they've come to characterize a football team that has become a joke. The Bills have been so bad in their three losses that it's laughable. But it's not going to be funny for anyone involved if their season continues down the same path and falls off a cliff.
Obviously, the Bills have lost their way. They're approaching a danger zone with Arizona waiting around the bend. The Bills need to make a U-turn against a Cardinals team that was sloppy in a loss to the Rams last week. George Wilson, who has watched his team meander numerous times in Buffalo, said their play can't get any worse.
The atmosphere can get worse, however, much worse. Losing again this week in Arizona is well within reason. It could get very ugly during the bye week if they lose in the desert and fall to lowly Tennessee at home the following week. It could turn into a "bye, bye" week for the postseason, not to mention a few players and coaches.
"This can't become our trend," Wilson said. "We have to find a way to stop the bleeding and be on the winning side of things."
Standing before them is the possibility of radical change, which few would have anticipated before training camp began. Gailey and General Manager Buddy Nix can't have it both ways. The Bills have had either a coaching problem or a personnel problem. The players appear to have a chemistry problem.
If everybody is on the same page, as they insist, maybe it's time to turn the page on certain people in the organization. Gailey proved during his first two seasons that he was a capable coach. Nix appeared to help him with some expensive moves in the offseason. The best teams do more with less. The Bills have managed to accomplish less with more.
Somewhere, they started going in the wrong direction, and now they need a compass to find their way back. Gailey is driving the bus, and he could wind up getting kicked to the curb if he steers the Bills into a ditch. It's not to say he's solely to blame and deserves to be fired, but it usually falls in the head coach.
Gailey hasn't had much help while overseeing the operation. Defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt hasn't been getting results they expected. The Bills have allowed the second-most points per game and the second-most yards per game this season. Ryan Fitzpatrick and his disjointed offense haven't provided enough support.
The Bills dismissed the argument that they quit against San Francisco, by the way. My guess is they would sail unscathed through a lie-detector test if asked about the second half Sunday. They're not lying to anyone, other than themselves, of course. Did every player quit? No. Collectively, they appeared to put down their guns.
Take a closer peek, fellas.
Assuming they turn things around, they will look back on the last two games and see the evidence for themselves. And if they conclude they gave an inspired effort against the Niners, if they threw their best punches, never stopped fighting and suffered another convincing loss, their roster needs a major overhaul.
In the end, it doesn't really matter.
Whether they quit or Gailey and his assistant coaches deserve more blame, some of the blame, none of the blame, the Bills have shared in this mess. For one reason or another, they haven't performed under Gailey this season. Their 2-3 record isn't nearly as telling as the fashion in which it arrived.
"Going on two weeks and giving up that many run yards and giving up the plays we gave up, it's disappointing and deflating," linebacker Nick Barnett said. "I don't lose hope. I'm going to keep striking and pushing forward because I know we have the potential and [right] makeup in this room. We just have to show it."
Gailey nobly stood up for his players and took much of the blame Sunday. He said they were hurting and perhaps a little rattled against the Niners. He hinted again that they lacked mental toughness, a recurring theme that speaks to their competitiveness. He reminded anyone listening that ultimately he was responsible.
It comes with the territory.
And it's nothing new.

According to multiple reports, on Tuesday night law-enforcement officials busted four people believed to have supplied the heroin that killed the 46-year-old actor.
The New York Post reports that police arrested Robert Vineberg, 57, Thomas Kushman, 48, and charged them with felony drug possession. Max Rosenblum and Juliana Luchkiw, both 22, also were arrested and charged with misdemeanor drug possession.
Vineberg, a musician who goes by the name Robert Aaron and has accompanied Wyclef Jean and Tom Jones, replied with a sheepish "No, I did not," when asked if he had sold Hoffman heroin, according to the Post.
The four were reportedly arrested in a Chinatown apartment on Mott Street, according to the Daily News, after police received a tip that the drugs found in Hoffman's apartment came from the Chinatown building. Police reportedly found 350 glassine envelopes containing a substance believed to be heroin.
On Sunday shortly after 11:30 a.m., Hoffman's body was found lying on the bathroom floor of his New York City apartment, the victim of an apparent drug overdose. A police source confirmed to PEOPLE that Hoffman had a syringe in his arm and that two clear envelopes of what appeared to be heroin were found nearby. Eight empty envelopes also were discovered in the apartment.
A private funeral service for the actor is scheduled to take place Sunday in New York City, and plans are underway for a memorial service, also in New York, later this month.

LEWISTOWN - The congregation at Grove Memorial UMC still is celebrating Easter.
The chocolate bunnies have been eaten and the spring lilies have withered, but the Lewistown church has a continuous reminder of Christ's resurrection.
It helps when it's visual.

Sentinel photo by BUFFIE BOYER
Jeannine Brought displays a painting of Christ's resurrection that she completed during the Easter Sunday service at Grove Memorial UMC in Lewistown.
Jeannine Brought, a locally known artist and painting instructor, brought the Easter story alive on April 8 with a special painted message. Her painting will be hung in the church as a continuous reminder of Christ's love and sacrifice.
In front of the Easter congregation, Brought painted her interpretation of the story on canvas. She put the finishing touches on the large piece as the resurrection story was read from John 20:1-18 and the congregation sang hymns of praise.
Brought said she never has done any kind of painting ministry before, but she agreed to try when Pastor Teresa Fink asked her.
She said she spent many hours working at home on the background and characters in the large painting, and finished some of the colors and details during the service.
The painting looks out of the empty tomb to see Jesus revealing himself to Mary Magdalene as the risen Christ.
The painting will be hung in the church as a treasured piece of its history, Fink said.
"The finished painting is an absolutely beautiful depiction of this scene," Fink said. "The message of Easter is that we do not need to remain in our dark tombs, but have been promised eternal life through the resurrection of Jesus Christ."
The painting, Brought said, shows this often uncaptured perspective of the story.
"The Lord inspires you to do what ever comes out," Brought said. "I give Him all the credit."
A print reproduction of the painting will be auctioned at Grove's upcoming church auction starting at 9 a.m. July 7 at Steven's Auction Center in Lewistown. All proceeds will benefit the ministries of Grove Memorial, 611 S. Main St., Lewistown.
Prints also may be purchased directly from Jeannine Brought by contacting her at 543-5736.

Charleston officials will not release city emails about Denzel Curnell's death or information about the police officer who saw him die because the documents might harm the agency, they claimed in letters that The Post and Courier received Monday.
The Charleston Police Department denied three requests for the public records under the S.C. Freedom of Information Act.
The newspaper had asked for emails by police commanders and other city leaders after the June 20 incident outside the Bridgeview Village apartments. It also requested Officer Jamal Medlin's personnel file and any video of the shooting.
Curnell, 19, died of a gunshot wound to the head during an encounter with Medlin. Charleston leaders have insisted that the officer did nothing wrong, but the State Law Enforcement Division has taken over the investigation, and it won't say exactly why.
Without key information, community members have staged protests and a news conference demanding a better accounting of the shooting and how the police handled it.
Charleston attorney Andy Savage, who represents Curnell's loved ones, said the fight for answers was continuing two weeks later.
Without discussing their evaluation, authorities could give the public an idea of what they're evaluating, Savage said Monday. They could answer yes-or-no questions about the existence of witnesses and surveillance video, he said.
"There's a wall of silence," Savage said. "They release all kinds of information in armed robberies, burglaries. ... I guess this is a special case."
In the letters dated Thursday, the Police Department mentioned SLED's probe in denying the FOIA requests. The police also cited an exemption under the state law allowing an agency to deny requests if "the disclosure of the information would harm the agency by ... the premature release of information to be used in a prospective law enforcement action."
The law does not state that the Police Department can withhold public information because it's part of an outside agency's investigation.
Police spokesman Charles Francis refused to explain what harm his agency would experience if it were to release the information. Instead of answering questions Monday, he re-sent the three letters denying the newspaper's requests.
Attempts on Monday to contact city attorney Will Bryant by telephone and email were not successful.
Bill Rogers, executive director of the S.C. Press Association, called the department's argument weak and said the exemption typically involves investigative techniques not known to the public.
"The fact that SLED is investigating has nothing to do with the openness of (Charleston Police Department) records," Rogers said.
'Inappropriate to discuss'
The FOIA requires a public agency to respond within 15 days of a query. The Charleston police answered in less than seven.
But several requests for information on Curnell's death remain unanswered by other agencies.
The newspaper also asked for 911 calls, police-radio communications and an autopsy report from Charleston County and any supplemental reports from the police force.
County spokesman Shawn Smetana said last week that the dispatch recordings were awaiting approval by the Charleston police. The county houses that data, but it typically waits until the agency featured in the recordings approves its release.
The Post and Courier also asked SLED for any video of the ordeal and its aftermath. By law, SLED must answer by noon July 16.
Thom Berry, a SLED spokesman, declined Monday to answer questions about whether the emails and the officer's file were part of the agency's investigation. State agents have said little about the incident that was reported to them as a struggle resulting in gunfire.
"Our investigation is continuing," Berry said in answering questions about whether SLED had obtained the emails or the file. "It would be inappropriate to discuss any specific details while the investigation is underway."
The emails would come from a three-day span between the shooting at 10:30 p.m. on a Friday and 10 a.m. the next Tuesday.
They would include messages sent and received by city leaders, such as Mayor Joe Riley and council members, as well as police commanders, including Chief Greg Mullen and Capt. Naomi Broughton, who called SLED to investigate.
They would include an email Francis sent to city officials on the night of Curnell's death that labeled the shooting a possible suicide. The police later added that Curnell had been armed, but they have refused to further explain the initial account from Francis.
In a letter to the newspaper last week, Riley said that SLED asked the department not to release any further information.
But to Rogers, not releasing internal emails stirs up more suspicion.
"The public has the right to see this," he said.
It's not the first time that Charleston police officials have cited a SLED probe in refusing to release information about shootings involving one of their own.
After a March 2013 shootout in West Ashley that wounded Officer Cory Goldstein and the 26-year-old suspect he was chasing, Mark L. Blake Jr., the department cited SLED's probe into the ordeal when it denied requests for supplemental incident reports, video and dispatch recordings.
SLED eventually fulfilled those requests for the newspaper.
The argument has popped up in other types of cases, too.
A year ago, Charleston officers were credited with helping to crack a plot to kill Nancy Latham, a local real estate agent and state lottery official. After federal agents took over that probe, the police wouldn't release their incident reports documenting how it started.
In May 2013, the College of Charleston also declined to hand over police reports about campus officers' discovery of fake student identification cards - a find that prompted a federal investigation into a nationwide counterfeiting ring.
In Curnell's case, public information that's readily available in other criminal cases might shed light on how the Burke High School graduate died and on how the police responded. His relatives have questioned why the left-handed man would shoot himself in the right side of the head and why police investigators instead of SLED agents were allowed to gather evidence at the scene.
Savage, their attorney, still has plans to get some of those answers but continues to hit roadblocks, he said.
"I'm kind of perplexed by the whole thing," Savage said.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Devin Thomas, Travis McKie and Codi Miller-McIntyre all scored in double figures after halftime to help Wake Forest turn a 10-point second-half deficit into a 77-62 victory on Tuesday night at the Joel Coliseum.
The win lifts the Demon Deacons to 9-2 on the season and keeps them undefeated at home with an 8-0 record at the Joel. The Bonnies are now 7-4.
Miller-McIntyre scored 10 points in each half to lead all scorers with 20 on the night. Thomas was able to score 15 of his 18 points in the second half, while McKie scored 12 of his 16 after the break. For Miller-McIntyre, this marks the seventh time he has scored 20 or more in a game this season.
As a team, Wake Forest was able to shoot 62.1 percent from the floor in the second half and outscored St. Bonaventure 49-26. Along with the 37 combined second-half points from Miller-McIntyre, Thomas and McKie, Coron Williams scored all eight of his points after the break, including two huge 3-pointers.
The Deacs also dominated on the glass in the second half with a 22-11 rebound advantage, giving them a 42-32 advantage for the game.
St. Bonaventure forced the Deacs into nine first-half turnovers and took an eight-point lead into halftime. The Bonnies then scored the first bucket of the second half to make the score 38-28 with 19:13 remaining in the game. Wake Forest began chipping away at the lead, though, and was able to score five straight points, capped by a McKie layup, to tie the game at 43-43 with 14:54 to go.
The Bonnies pushed the lead back to four at 49-45 and clung to a one-point lead at 51-50, but the Demon Deacons got a layup from Thomas and back-to-back 3-pointers from Williams to make the score 58-51 with 7:46 on the clock.
That eight-point flurry from Thomas and Williams ignited a 27-11 run by the Deacs to end the game, and the Bonnies would get no closer than five points the rest of the way. Williams and McKie each contributed eight points during the final run.
Tyler Cavanaugh also had a solid game for Wake Forest and flirted with a double-double, scoring nine points and grabbing eight rebounds. Madison Jones led the Demon Deacons with six assists, while Thomas and Andre Washington each had three blocks.
Andell Cumberbatch was the only Bonnie in double figures with 19 points, while he also led the team with seven rebounds and six steals.
Wake Forest will next host Triad-rival UNCG on Saturday at 2 p.m. The Demon Deacons have won all seven previous meetings with the Spartans, including an 84-70 win in Greensboro last season.

The University at Buffalo's Catalyst Fund is giving $213,762 in five grants to scientists and teams of researchers to help life-sciences technologies that show commercial potential move closer to the marketplace.
The awards will pay for studies and similar projects intended to demonstrate whether the potential products – such as a cutting-edge bone replacement material and self-seeding blood vessel grafts – have commercial value, according to the university. The fund now has paid out nearly $450,000 to 10 technologies since its inception in 2011.
"By providing for the translation of UB research that could lead to new therapies, new products and new company start-ups, these funds demonstrate that UB research can directly and positively impact the local economy," Alexander N. Cartwright, UB's vice president for research and economic development, said Tuesday.
The Catalyst Fund's first round of financing, which provided $236,000 to five projects, came from the John R. Oishei Foundation. This second round of awards came from the Bruce Holm Memorial Catalyst Fund, which was set up by an anonymous UB faculty member who pledged up to $1 million to match contributions to the fund from other donors.
The memorial fund is named for the late UB senior vice provost who was best known as a developer of Infasurf, a lung surfactant that has helped lower the mortality rate for premature infants.
The latest awards will support the work of the following faculty members:
• Rosemary Dziak, a professor of oral biology, who is looking into the use of a novel calcium sulfate material to help replace lost bone in patients who have osteoporosis, periodontal disease or craniofacial defects.
• Mark Ehrensberger, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering, and Anthony Campagnari, a professor of microbiology and immunology, who are testing an electrochemical technique for eliminating biofilm infections on metallic medical implants.
• Venkat Krovi, an associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering; Pankaj Singhal, an associate professor of gynecology-obstetrics; and Jason Corso, an assistant professor of computer science and engineering, who are researching how to apply video-based, micromotion analysis to evaluate and improve the training of doctors for robotic surgeries.
• Janet Morrow, a professor of chemistry, who is working on a series of "smart" contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging that could be used to monitor the progress of cancer treatments and help guide treatment decisions.
• Daniel Swartz, an assistant professor of pediatrics, chemical and biological engineering and physiology and biophysics, who is working with a group of collaborators to produce specialized vascular grafts that, after they are implanted in a patient's body, could be stimulated to function as a native tissue.

That snake looking thing that hangs on the back of a shaved kids head, usually stemming from gangster parent's or brown lip liner wearing mothers. Rat-Tail may further be used as a name that represents whoever sports it. A patch of hair that for some odd reasons signifies god knows what while the bald part is covered with a panty hoe or doo-rag!!! Originated in L.A. usually in hispanics and has viciously infected young children's schools across the nation. These kids are known for bullying and cursing in class.
A fight broke out in class, that lil rat-tail stood up and told the teacher off.

When a girl sags her pants so low you can see the top of her thong, aka underwear that has a string in the back for your asscrack.
Usually happens to girls in junior high who think showing their big-girl underwear makes them cool and attractive.

NEW YORK � Americans get too many calories from soda. But what about alcohol? It turns out adults get almost as many empty calories from booze as from soft drinks, a government study found.
Soda and other sweetened drinks � the focus of obesity-fighting public health campaigns � are the source of about 6 percent of the calories adults consume, on average. Alcoholic beverages account for about 5 percent, the new study found.
�We�ve been focusing on sugar-sweetened beverages. This is something new,� said Cynthia Ogden, one of the study�s authors. She�s an epidemiologist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention which released its findings last week.
The government researchers say the findings deserve attention because, like soda, alcohol contains few nutrients but plenty of calories.
But a liquor trade association said the findings indicate there�s no big problem.
�This research shows that the overwhelming majority of adults drink moderately,� Lisa Hawkins, a spokeswoman for the Distilled Spirits Council, said in a statement.
The CDC study is based on interviews with more than 11,000 U.S. adults from 2007 through 2010. Participants were asked extensive questions about what they ate and drank over the previous 24 hours.
The study found:
On any given day, about one-third of men and one-fifth of women consumed calories from beer, wine or liquor.
Averaged out to all adults, the average guy drinks 150 calories from alcohol each day, or the equivalent of a can of Budweiser.
The average woman drinks about 50 calories, or roughly half a glass of wine.
Men drink mostly beer. For women, there was no clear favorite among alcoholic beverages.
There was no racial or ethnic difference in average calories consumed from alcoholic beverages. But there was an age difference, with younger adults putting more of it away.
For reference, a 12-ounce can of regular Coca-Cola has 140 calories, slightly less than a same-sized can of regular Bud. A 5-ounce glass of wine is around 100 calories.
In September, New York City approved an unprecedented measure cracking down on giant sodas, those bigger than 16 ounces, or half a liter. It will take effect in March and bans sales of drinks that large at restaurants, cafeterias and concession stands.
Should New York officials now start cracking down on tall-boy beers and monster margaritas?
There are no plans for that, city health department officials said, adding in a statement that while studies show that sugary drinks are �a key driver of the obesity epidemic,� alcohol is not.
Health officials should think about enacting policies to limit alcoholic intake, but New York�s focus on sodas is appropriate, said Margo Wootan, director of nutrition policy for the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a public health advocacy group. Soda and sweetened beverages are the bigger problem, especially when it comes to kids � the No. 1 source of calories in the U.S. diet, she said.
�In New York City, it was smart to start with sugary drinks. Let�s see how it goes and then think about next steps,� she said.
However, she lamented that the Obama administration is planning to exempt alcoholic beverages from proposed federal regulations requiring calorie labeling on restaurant menus.
It could set up a confusing scenario in which, say, a raspberry iced tea may have a calorie count listed, while an alcohol-laden Long Island Iced Tea � with more than four times as many calories � doesn�t. �It could give people the wrong idea,� she said.

Judge Pike testifies in support of bill

LISBON — A local judge testified before the state legislature in support of a bill that would allow judges to again have more discretion when it comes to sentencing first-time offenders convicted of......
The amato trial was an eye opener for sure there Swager. That one was real obvious. But they keep the public dumb downed and what we got is what we got.
Watchdog, excellent point. The cops around here ever got smart. They could make or break Herron.

A Generation of Software Patents
James E. Bessen
Boston University - School of Law; Research on Innovation
June 21, 2011
Boston Univ. School of Law, Law and Economics Research Paper No. 11-31
Berkman Center Research Publication No. 2011-04
This report examines changes in the patenting behavior of the software industry since the 1990s. It finds that most software firms still do not patent, most software patents are obtained by a few large firms in the software industry or in other industries, and the risk of litigation from software patents continues to increase dramatically. Given these findings, it is hard to conclude that software patents have provided a net social benefit in the software industry.

DELAND, Fla. – Goal keeper Caili Guilday added to her nation leading save total with 15 Wednesday night as the Stetson University lacrosse team fell to No. 4 Florida 23-1 at the Athletic Training Center. Guilday made 11 stops in the first half and four in the second to give her a national best of 134.
The Hatters bested the Gators in total saves with their 15 to UF's three. Guilday played a little more than 50 minutes against the fourth best team in the country, giving way for Whitney Myers for the final 10.
Scoring the lone goal for Stetson was Mary Kate O'Sullivan who put one past Gator goal keeper Mary-Sean Wilcox off of a free position shot with just one second on the clock before the first half buzzer sounded. It was O'Sullivan's eighth of the season, making her just one shy of the team lead.
Leading the way for Stetson when it came to ground balls against the Gators was Guilday, with four. Lindsay Summers had the next most with her pair. Five separate Hatters, including O'Sullivan and Summers combined to fire off Stetson's handful of shots toward the Gator goal.
Stetson and Florida have now met twice in their brief intrastate rivalry, with Wednesday's contest being the first time the two met in Deland. Last season both clubs squared off in Gainesville with the Gators ranked No. 2 in the nation.
The Hatters (0-12) next take on Kennesaw State in their A-Sun opener, Saturday, April 5 in Georgia. Game time between the Hats and Owls is scheduled for 1 p.m.

The Day Ms Ruby Lee Bates Helped Shape My Life
Its funny how you remember things in your life that happened so many years ago. I was thinking of my maternal uncles who worked for the Texas-Pacific Railroad in Marshall Texas. The railroad must have been on my mind when I woke up the next day because all I saw was Ms Ruby Lee Bates and my momma. You see I got a big time punishment and it was not even my entire fault. Or so I thought at the time. Years later I can see how I could have prevented the consequences.
My buds Gloria Parker, Jean Pete and Hazel Bowen and I got out of school early. It had to be something with grading tests or Parent - Teacher meetings scheduled for later on in the day. Now that was legit but we forgot to remind our mothers that we were getting out early. Why bother them anyway because they were hard at work and no need to have them worry about us.
I now think that Gloria, Hazel and I should have headed in different directions after school let out.
That was our first mistake. I said "our" because Gloria and Hazel lived South past 7th Ave and Watkins, and I lived north and way west in back of the Capitol. Jean was the only one of us headed in the right direction towards home. Besides Ms Pete had to have some good food that we all could partake before we headed to our perspective homes.
I remember we were laughing and talking as we headed towards Jeans house when we got to the railroad track.
Our second mistake: We thought we had skills singing....(sounded good too)
To compliment those skills we saw this railroad man working. He had this large steel like gizmo he was using to turn the track.
We decided to sing a song and tease this hard working man. "I been working on the railroad, all the live long day, I been working on the railroad just to pass the time away." We sure giggled and pointed and sang that song again...heeheehee! " Can't you hear the whistle blowing, Rise up so early in the morn"
Then we heard a voice! It was Ms Ruby Lee Bates... "Vicky, does your mother know you are here, you better get your tail on where you belong. How come you are not in school? " We were so busy laughing, giggling and singing we did not hear Ms Ruby Lee's car stop. Nor did we hear Ms Ruby Lee come up to where we were. I do remember though her arm stretched out with her finger pointed in the direction I should hurry up and take.
Needless to say, I took my rear end home and waiting for me was my momma. Ms Ruby Lee had snitched and I knew it before I even got through the door good. I had to sing for my momma that day with tears streaming down my face. I been working on the railroad, all the live long day. This time the words were not so measured and the tune was all my own, made up by me.
Now I know what it means when they say it takes a village. Ms Ruby Lee and my mom were good friends and that was a record that stood til the end of their time on earth. You see, Ms Ruby Lee Bates moved back to Texas from Arizona. Her and my mom would keep up with each other by telephone. Several years later I also moved to Dallas and would visit her from time to time. I still remember that good ole roast she cooked that day I went to see her. I think that was the last time I visited because I moved back to Arizona shortly after.
I had run into her son Vernon Jr from time to time in Dallas but her daughters Ruby Lee and Jessie Mae I lost contact with. I got curious and decided to look around and research I see where they got their names.
It was from both their paternal line and maternal lines. Vernon Jr was named after his dad Vernon and Jessie Mae was named after her dads mother Jessie Mae who was the wife of Ford Bates.
Here is the 1920 census record from Ancestry (click to enlarge)
Ruby Lee as we see was named after her mother Ruby Lee Record daughter of Mose and Addie Bell Washom/Mosely Record.
According to a delayed birth record her mother Addie was born in Navasota Texas the home of my father and his parents. Did I say record! That was Ms Ruby Lee Bates maiden name.....Record (One thing we do have to remember is how we connect our research even though the spelling on the records may be unclear.)
The AR Dictionary states that the meaning of record is to recall to mind, to remember, to recollect, to meditate.
I did all of those things as I reflected that long ago memory. As I delve into my genealogy research I always record or make a record of what I find.
Little did I know that Ms Ruby Lee Record Bates would cause me to meditate (with a little help from my mom) on decisions I make throughout my life.
R.I.P. Ms Ruby Lee along with your daughters Ruby Lee and Jessie Mae
In Rememberance of those who share names in a historical perspective I honor
R.I.P. Civil Rights Legend Daisy Lee Gatson Bates of the Little Rock Nine
R.I.P Mr Eugene Record former member of the Chilites recording group and writer of songs like "Have You Seen Her" and "OH Girl"
Labels: Dallas Texas, Hazel Bowen, Jean Pete, Jessie Mae, railroad song, Ruby Lee, Texas Pacific Railroad, Vernon

Date location no-nos?Posted Tuesday, August 9, 2011, at 12:30 PM
I'll admit up front I'm no dating expert. Every now and again, I read up on "dating" advice, partly because I could probably use some and partly because such "advice" can be quite comical at times. After talking to some female coworkers, I think this is an example.
The article is a list of places women "are never interested in visiting."
Its stereotypes are laughable. The No. 1 nondestination is any kind of sports-themed places. This is assuming that women don't like sports, or at least don't like competing with a sports activity for their man's attention. But, plenty of women do like sports and would be thrilled to go to an event or maybe even a sports bar. One coworker said a baseball game may be a bad choice because of to much down time that could result in awkward silences on early dates. But, if you're more into having a conversation while leisurely enjoying a sport, baseball seems like a good choice.
The next location, a theme park, was not completely banned, but should be considered on a case-by-case basis. I agree with this one. The last thing I want is for my date to be dealing with my disregard for dizziness after she talks me into joining her on one of the rides I normally wouldn't ride. I'm getting nauseous just thinking about it.
Next on the list, chain restaurants are simply difficult to avoid in many situations. Yes, we don't have a lot of them around here. But, if you're together long enough, you'll likely go to a restaurant that exists in other cities. Even Sioux Falls, which has the most restaurants per capita, has plenty of chain restaurants. The more originality the better, especially for unique first dates, but avoiding chain restaurants altogether just doesn't seem reasonable.
I agree that gross-out comedy movies may not be the best for dates, but this should be considered on a case-by-case basis. For example, women accompanied me to both Hangover movies and enjoyed them for the most part.
Paintball would probably be off limits for a lot of dates, but some women are definitely adventurous and would love to take a shot at their man. Now that I think about it that way, men may want to avoid this option for safety reasons.
Finally, the article discourages men from having their dates meet their mothers. Obviously, women don't want to feel like they're competing with mothers all the time, but they do need to meet. If all goes well, they may just be in-laws some day and wouldn't you rather know what you're getting yourself into up front?
So, that's my take on these so-called date location no-nos.
Men, have you gone on dates to these locations? How did it turn out? Do you have advice on the topic?
Women, what do you think? Can you speak from experience for or against any of these locations?
As always, I'd love to hear your feedback!

We ended up at the Long Beach arena to watch Hulk Hogan, Randy Macho Man Savage and various others. Yup that was his big surprise. Needless to say, he is not allowed to plan any more anniversary dates.

I have not dated in two decades, besides my husband, and I have to say that location never played into whether or not we had fun. We don't get date night or even anniversary dates too often, though I'm hoping soon to change that.
When I was young, I loved dates with interesting or unique activities, learning new things and that had some adventure. Dinner and a movie can get old sometimes. Bad dates were the ones where the guy was really, really quiet and awkward and my attempts at humor were met with scary staring.
That's really, by and large, the bad experience I had dating -- the guy didn't like me or didn't seem to have any interest whatsoever in relating, and after a painful, awkward evening, I chalked it up to lack of interest and attraction, avoided him and his calls after that, if any. Which was always weird when they seemed nice and bright when we first talked on the phone, in class, or if we were friends before he asked me out.
Other highlights included the time I misunderstood the meaning of the term, "nooner," as in, "So, how about we meet up for a nooner and catch up on each other's days." (I honestly thought we were just going out for lunch, or at least that it would include lunch with our clothing on).
My stunts, including flirting with other guys and vomiting in the movie theater parking lot after a movie that followed an afternoon of drinking at a rugby party, at which I flirted with other guys, never seemed to drive away the guys I dated to the extent you'd think it would.
I'm incredibly fortunate that I found the right guy very early in life. If I was forced back into the dating arena by Edward being run over by a bus or something, I'm sure it would confuse, mystify and frighten me into staying single.
Best of everything out there! Hope you find tons of fun and happiness and maybe the special one.

i just really really want a pro build FF with no integrated grip battery life now in modern LI batteries is fine the grip is just un-necessary bulk. We need something more like nikons D700 and upcoming D800. I'm not interested in a FF rebel no feature plastic fantastic but i dont begrudge anyone for wanting such a camera, I guess there would be some concern from a business standpoint that a cheap FF might canibalise sale on the higher end ones, maybe they are still smarting from the 5D2 cutting the legs out from under the 1Ds3
I hope they make the 7D2 a "mini 1DX", focused on superior speed AF and low light capability for the APS-C format, and keep the good build quality. I'd like to see a reduction rather than increase in megapixels -- leave the high MP count to full format (I'd love a 5Dmk3 with 36+ megapixels) and possibly lower end APS-C -- and let the "pro" APS-C camera 7D2 be an action/wildlife camera, 12 megapixels with improved noise performance would be nice.I think it will be a smart move to have like today that 7D and 5D are complementary, so you want to own them both.
Even with lower stats, 1DX buyers spending a whopping ~$7000 will be pissed off if the sensor, the central feature, the brain is the same with a cheaper cousin that is already announced. From a marketing point of view, this is no way for them to sell enough 1DX and they won't do it!
With the economy the way it is, shortening a product's life cycle is the exact opposite thing any developer should be thinking about.
I understand that the larger the MP count the more it suffers from ISO noise.
Why does the A77 sensor need improving? It is better than any Canon APS-C sensor.
Or are we all stupid enough to buy anything that Canon trots out just because it has the name Canon on it?
Quote from: dilbert on December 14, 2011, 10:45:53 PMWhy does the A77 sensor need improving? It is better than any Canon APS-C sensor.Oh, please! the A77's sensor is a piece of crap, and if my 7D wasn't eminently able to stomp all over it - and it is - I'd throw my camera in the river.You clearly haven't done any side-by-side testing of A77 files against the Canon sensor, or you couldn't possibly believe what you wrote.
So to summarise, I think there are enough room for 2 FF cameras - one cheaper more general purpose, and one more specialised and more expensive.
Quote from: existent on December 15, 2011, 08:01:43 AMSo to summarise, I think there are enough room for 2 FF cameras - one cheaper more general purpose, and one more specialised and more expensive. I agree, a relaively cheap FF (called 6d?) would definitelly have market.. I was considering, but I've invested too much in efs. Anyway next year a new body for me, hoping for a good 650d, I will not wait one more year (like for the 70d).

As employees at one of Northern California's largest supermarket chains prepare to strike, the company says it will unilaterally impose a proposed labor contract that would reduce its workers' wages.
The Sacramento Bee reports that Raley's supermarkets said it would implement its final contract offer on Thursday to the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union.
Raley's said the union failed to offer an up-and-down vote to its members on the contract offer, which included a two-year wage freeze.
Raley's worker Ronda Zanelli, a 32-year veteran, told the paper that no one wants to strike but that they are prepared to do so.
It would be the first labor strike in the West Sacramento-based company's 77-year history.

Don't Neglect Your Rear Just Because It's Down and Under
When it comes to making your car perform better, there's always a set order for performance modifications; front-to-back. We all start under the hood (usually with carb/ intake/headers, often followed by a cam swap). For those who like to row their own, a performance shifter is installed, maybe a clutch; automatic guys modify the valve body and later install a high-stall converter. Last on the list has always been the rearend. A lot of post-muscle Mopars rolled off the line with a standard, "small" not- built-for-punishment 8 1/4-inch rear end. The 8-3/4 is far more popular by virtue of it's easy to set-up drop-out carrier, ease of gear changes (need a different ratio? Just swap the carrier!), no C-clips, stout construction and, of course, the strength of a larger ring gear. If you really want strength on an unparalleled level, you can step up to the legendary Dana 60. Able to handle torque output on the scale of diesel locomotives, the Dana is the last word in rearend strength. During the halcyon days, all it took to get one as original equipment was checking off the right boxes.
If your current street stomper came equipped with an 8-1/4 rear, standard thinking goes something like this — If it ain't broke, don't fix it. When it breaks, upgrade to an 8-3/4 or Dana. We'll build the engine and trans, but forget about the rearend. When it breaks, we call the car all kinds of nasty names, tow it home, yank the rear and replace it. Most project cars are high-mileage cars, but the engine and trans have at least been gone through, if not outright rebuilt. When's the last time you even changed the fluid in the rearend? Then you get mad when the poor thing breaks after increased horsepower from the front of the car on top of years of neglect.
Truth be known, unless you're building a big-block or a full-race small-block, that lowly 8-1/4 is good enough. There are some guys who prefer a totally built 8-1/4 in drag racing situations because it's lighter and there's less reciprocating mass, so more power hits the tires. And because they're the "cheaper" rear ends, the parts to rebuild and upgrade them are less expensive. Finally — and this is the real selling point — it's already under the car! You don't have to pay for a new housing, it doesn't have to be narrowed to fit, you already have brakes on it, even the spring perches are in the right place! The situation we were in with one of our projects was, we had the whole rearend and brake set-up already in the vehicle, but it was an open diff with a highway gear. We thought about replacing/upgrading it, but decided to work with what we had. The engine is going to be warmed over, and the 904 will be upgraded, but it's a daily driver that probably won't see much strip duty. We felt the "little" 8-1/4 would hold up nicely if rebuilt right the first time. We ordered a complete differential, ring and pinion, and rebuild kit from Ring & Pinion Service and a rearend girdle cover from LPW Racing Products (PN 301-10C, fits 8.2 and 8.3 Chrysler 8-1/4). If we were going to put the vehicle on the strip, and especially if we were going to run slicks, we'd have stayed with this rear but purchased aftermarket axles and a C-clip eliminator kit. We had Mike Mott at Pro Automotive Performance Center put together a stout little rear that will survive nicely under an average street car. Certainly less than a full swap and perhaps just right for our needs.

"Mordern communism" can be said to be defined by Stalinist Russia, being a despotic state led by a firm, metal grip similar to that of Tsarism. This variation is widely accepted by the western leaders, such as Harry Truman, who viewed communism exactly as such an "evil" ideology.
Down with communism!

True communism is a utopian socity (perfect society),based on Carle Marx philosaphys (Marxism). True communism only works in small isolated situations, and never lasts very long due to the human nature of greed. In a true communist state no one person would have more of anything than another, everything would be shared. A prime example of this is the hippie communes of the 1960's. But true communism was tested in the commune form by transcendentalists such as Ralph Waldo Emmerson, and Henry David Therou in the Transcendentalist Period in American literature (around the same time as the Romanticism Period) 1820-1860 aproximatly.
True Communism should not be confused with Socialism. Socialism is what the United States government wanted (wants) to rid the world of. A totalitarian state.

After nearly a perfect fortnight, it�s time to put one in the loss column.
The Regis Rangers scored four second-half goals, and the Fort Lewis College women�s soccer team lost its first game in seven outings, falling 6-3 to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference�s No. 2 team Friday in Denver.
The Skyhawks, who re-entered the top-25 poll this week at 22, and the Rangers battled to a 2-2 halftime draw before the Regis side went off for four goals in the final half.
�Their movements were just dangerous. They kept finding ways to create 1 v. 1s,� FLC head coach Damian Clarke said.
Two of those goals came in the first 10 minutes of play � first from Sade Akindele in the 49th minute, before Sidny Otto added the second just three minutes later.
The Skyhawks� Therese Romero answered in the 54th to pull within one score, but Meghan Stuart and Marissa Davis each added goals within the next five minutes to put the Rangers ahead by the final margin.
�The kids didn�t stop,� Clarke said. �To be honest with you, I think we could�ve made it 5-6.�
The difference, Clarke said, was better efficiency in front of goal, as the Rangers� attack won tackles off of defenders and turned them into scores.
�They exposed us better,� Clarke said.
�Both teams were very good on the attack side, but both teams struggled on defense.�
In the first half, the Skyhawks� Megan Striedel scored the game�s first goal in the 19th minute.
Stuart answered for the Rangers in the 25th minute on a �very good goal.�
Molly Celler and the Skyhawks retook the lead in the 27th minute.
�We played very well in the first half,� Clarke said. �We played excellent.�
But the Skyhawks� fortunes took an unlucky turn in the 39th minute, when goalkeeper Amanda Raso tried to clear a ball but instead hit a defender in the head. When the ball rebounded to Akindele, the Regis forward tied it back up with an uncontested look at the net.
�That was obviously a bit of a blow to us,� Clarke said.
Raso and Caitlyn Espinosa split time tending the FLC net � Raso making one save on three shots on goal in the first half and Espinosa taking the loss with two saves on six Rangers� shots on goal on a day that Clarke said wasn�t going to be easy on anybody.
�Tough day for both of them,� he said of his revolving door between the pipes. �Both of them did a good job.�
Regis had 16 total shots.
The Skyhawks weren�t far behind with 12, but Ellen Augsberger saved four of seven on goal for the win.
FLC (10-3-2, 6-3-2 RMAC) will play CSU-Pueblo at noon Sunday in Pueblo.

Mens Golf Tops EMU for Match Play Crown
DADE CITY, Fla. -- The Ball State men's golf team posted a 4-2 win Tuesday over No. 1 seed Eastern Michigan to win the Mid-American Match Play for the second time in three years.
The Cardinals, seeded No. 2 based on the Golfstat rankings, hosted the third annual event on the South Course at Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club.
Tyler Merkel finished off a perfect week Tuesday with his third straight win. McCormick Clouser, James Blackwell and Zach Yinger also won matches as the middle of the lineup carried the Cardinals to the team victory over Eastern Michigan.
Blackwell posted the largest margin of the day with a 6 and 5 win over Josh Heinze, while Yinger was a 4 and 3 winner over Kyle Rodes. Merkel defeated Brett White, 3 and 1, and Clouser topped Michael Blair, 2 and 1.
Eastern Michigan picked up its wins at the No. 1 position, where Brian Churchill-Smith defeated Keegan McKinney, 4 and 3, and at the No. 6 spot, where Joseph Kremer handed Albert Jennings his first loss of the week, 2 and 1.
Jennings and Blackwell sent Ball State into the championship match earlier in the day when play resumed after darkness halted it the night before. They each won the final hole of their second round matches to help Ball State to a 3-3 tie with Xavier, and the Cardinals advanced on a tiebreaker.
Xavier bounced back later in the day to defeat Eastern Kentucky in the third-place match. Miami University beat Toledo for fifth place, and Ohio topped Bowling Green for seventh.
Ball State has now reached the championship match in all three years the Mid-American Match Play has been contested. The Cardinals won the inaugural tournament in 2012 and finished as the runner-up to Bowling Green in 2013.
In a rematch of that contest, Ball State defeated Bowling Green in Monday's first-round before getting past Xavier in the second.
The championship bracket at this year's tournament was named in honor of former Ball State coach Earl Yestingsmeier, who passed away last month. Yestingsmeier guided the Cardinals for 36 seasons, leading the program to 107 tournament titles and 11 NCAA Tournament appearances.
Yestingsmeier retired in 1998 but continued to travel with the team to virtually every tournament. This was Ball State's first event since his passing.

History of the Florida Society of Mayflower Descendants
The Florida Society, the 28th state to organize, was chartered 31 July 1937 with 24 charter members. The organizational meeting was held 07 Aug 1937, at "Perrydell" in Rio Vista, overlooking the Halifax River, north of Daytona Beach. The first annual meeting was held in Jacksonville in the home of the Secretary. Dinner was $1.00 per plate. Initiation fee $5.00; annual dues $3.00; and, Life Membership $50.00.
The Florida Society's Charter was presented by Governor General Burnham Standish Colburn. GG Colburn (NC #1 & first NC Mayflower State Governor) was the Governor General of the General Society for six years, from 1933 to 1939.
By 1958 six colonies had been chartered and many followed. We now have 16 colonies throughout the state:

We average 1300 members annually with an additional 981 junior members in 2010. The organization is involved in school programs, telling about our ancestors' lives and history and what it means for our country today. The state organization sponsors an annual scholarship program for High School seniors. A working Board of Assistants make it all happen and great fellowship makes our organization so meaningful.
What do I need in order to join the Florida Mayflower Society?
You will need to document each generation between yourself and the Mayflower Pilgrim. Primary evidence consists of birth, death and marriage certificates.
Who do I contact in order to join?
Contact the Historian at the colony which is geographically closest to you. You can see a map of the colonies by clicking the "colonies" link.
How can I document my lineage?
Always start with your immediate family, documenting births, deaths and marriages. In addition, many of the colonies supply local libraries with the Mayflower silver books, which are published by the General Society of Mayflower Descendants. The silver books contain the first five generations of most of the Mayflower passengers. Your colony historian is available to assist you in finding the necessary documentation and to fill out your application.
How much does it cost to belong to the Florida Mayflower Society?
Fees are as follows: There is a one-time fee of $115.00 to process your application. The yearly dues are $30.00.
How can I transfer my Mayflower membership to the Florida Society?
You need to request the transfer by contacting the historian of the Florida colony of choice and the historian of your current state. The previous state historian will verify that your dues are up to date and send a copy of your lineage papers and "letter of good standing" to the Florida State Historian. There is a $5.00 fee to transfer to Florida and generally a $5.00 fee is required from the previous state.
How can I become a member of the Florida Mayflower Society and still keep my membership in the original state?
You can become a "Dual" member, but will be required to pay dues to both state societies. There is no reciprocity for life membership from other states and you will be required to pay dues to the Florida Society. The procedure is the same as a transfer.
How can I contact the historian or other officers in another state?
You can check the website for that state for contact information, or each Spring issue of the Mayflower Quarterly lists each state with names and addresses of its officers.
What is the cost of supplemental applications?
The fee ($115.00) for supplemental applications is the same as the original application.
Can I find out if someone has already documented my line?
Individuals seeking copies of established lineage should contact the national organization in Plymouth. Information is available at http://www.themayflowersociety.com. There will be a fee of $20 charged for the copy. The state historian can request an approved application without cost, if requested by the colony historian to assist an applicant who is documenting his line for membership.
Where can I purchase the silver book on my Pilgrim ancestor?
The Mayflower Library in Plymouth. Click here to go to the Mayflower Society Page. Choose "Books and More".

Cellulosic Ethanol
Cellulosic ethanol is ethanol made from cellulose, a non-grain material/feedstock that provides the cellular structure for all plants. The end product – a clean-burning, high-octane fuel – is the same as ethanol made from corn.
Cellulose, which provides the cellular structure for all plants, is the world's most abundant organic compound. POET has been researching and developing cellulosic ethanol technology since 2001, when we began performing bench-scale testing of our cellulosic technology at our research laboratory. In 2008, we began producing cellulosic ethanol at pilot scale at our research center. In partnership with Royal DSM of the Netherlands, POET-DSM Advanced Biofuels opened a commercial-scale ethanol plant in Emmetsburg, Iowa – dubbed "Project LIBERTY" – in September of 2014. Project LIBERTY's feedstock is corn crop residue – cobs, leaves, husk and some stalk.
The Future of Cellulosic Ethanol
Cellulosic ethanol's potential is enormous. Department of Energy estimates have identified 1.3 billion tons of harvestable cellulosic biomass in the United States alone, which could theoretically be used to meet more than one-third of domestic transportation fuel demand. The Renewable Fuels Standard sets an annual goal of 36 billion gallons of renewable fuel by 2022, with 16 billion gallons coming from cellulosic ethanol.
POET hopes to play a significant role in meeting that. Beyond the Emmetsburg, Iowa plant, we intend to build additional cellulosic ethanol plants co-located with our existing biorefineries, which we believe represents up to a one billion gallon per year opportunity. Our joint venture also intends to license our integrated technology package and offer a turnkey design, engineering and construction package to third parties.
