Trip Ideas
Most visitors see Ushuaia in summer, but it's also becoming a winter sports center given its proximity to the mountains. Downhill skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, and even dogsledding are possibilities.
The major ski event is mid-August's Marcha Blanca, which symbolically repeats Argentine liberator José de San Martín's winter crossing of the Andes from Mendoza to assist his Chilean counterpart Bernardo O'Higgins against the Spaniards. Luring upwards of 400 skiers, it starts from the Las Cotorras cross-country area and climbs to Paso Garibaldi, the 430-meter pass between the Sierra Alvear and the Sierra Lucas Bridges.
Ideally, it takes place August 17, the anniversary of San Martín's death. (Argentine novelist Tomás Eloy Martínez has called his countrymen "cadaver cultists" for their apparent obsession with celebrating the death dates rather than the birth dates of their national icons.)
There are two downhill ski areas. The aging Centro de Deportes Invernales Luis Martial (Luis Martial 3995, tel. 02901/15-61-3890 or 02901/15-56-8587, esquiush [at] tierradelfuego [dot] org [dot] ar), seven kilometers northwest of town at the end of the road, has a single 1,130-meter run on a 23-degree slope, with a double-seat chairlift capable of carrying 224 skiers per hour.
East of Ushuaia, Cerro Castor (RN 3 Km 27, www.cerrocastor.com) has up-to-the- minute facilities, including four lifts and 15 different runs. In high season (July), lift tickets cost US$28–41 per day, with discounts for multiday packages; in low and shoulder seasons, there are additional discounts.
Other areas east of town, along RN 3, are for cross-country skiers. These include Tierra Mayor (Km 21, tel. 02901/43-7454, www.tierramayor.com), Las Cotorras (Km 26, tel. 02901/49-9300), Haruwen (Km 35, tel./fax 02901/43-1099, www.haruwen.com.ar), and several newer options. All of them rent equipment and offer transfers from Ushuaia.

Washington, DC -- Join thousands of progressives, five months before the critical 2012 elections, to energize the movement and "Take Back the American Dream."

Progressive bloggers and activists are focused on pushing comprehensive health care reform this year and overwhelmingly support Rep. Joe Sestak, D-Pa., over Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa., for the Pennsylvania Democratic Senate nomination, according to a straw poll at this year's Netroots Nation convention conducted by the Campaign for America's Future and Democracy Corps.
With more than 1,500 progressive bloggers and activists streaming into Pittsburgh this week, Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., joined United Steelworkers president Leo Gerard, Campaign for America's Future co-director Robert Borosage and Netroots Nation spokesperson Mary Rickles on a conference call today to set the scene and preview this year's "Netroots Nation" convention.
WASHINGTON – Progressives gathered at this week's "America's Future Now" conference found a lot to like in President Obama's first 100 days, but they are very focused on health care reform as their highest priority, according to a straw poll of participants conducted by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research for the Campaign for America's Future and Democracy Corps. more »
Progressive groups are poised to spend more than $82 million to support President Obama's goal of achieving quality, affordable health care for all this year, according to leaders gathered today at the "America's Future Now" conference in Washington.
The economy needs at least a $900 billion boost over the next two years, according to a detailed economic recovery plan released today by more than a hundred economists and dozens of labor and public interest leaders who represent more than 20 million Americans.
Responding to concerns that President-elect Obama's new economic leadership team is dominated by people who played a role in creating the current crisis, Campaign for America's Future co-director Robert Borosage said that deepening economic emergency makes "Rubinomics" irrelevant. Borosage said that today's announcement is a key step toward enacting a bold economic recovery plan.
Twenty-six out of the 29 Democratic candidates who won seats previously held by Republicans in the House and Senate championed bold progressive economic positions, according to a new report released today by the Campaign for America's Future. The report shows that these progressive candidates' victories represent a swing to the left of 34 votes in the House and 10 in the Senate, reflecting a clear mandate for progressive change.
Major progressive, labor and consumer rights leaders joined forces today to demand important corrections to the Bush administration's financial rescue proposal despite warnings from the administration's top economists who got us into this mess.
The misery index hit the worst level since May 1991, according to a new analysis released today by the Campaign for America's Future. New jobless numbers jumped to a 5-year high of 6.1 percent, pushing the misery index to 11.7 percent.

SkeeterVac Testimonials
"A couple years ago I bought one of those mosquito-catching machines, this
one called "Skeeter-Vac" It uses a chemical attractant, a propane-fired burner
that generates CO2, heat and moisture, and a big sticky striped surface. A thermo-electric
generator powers a group of flashing visible, IR, and UV LEDs and a blower that
sucks attracted bugs into the mesh drawer. In the first weeks it harvested a
couple hundred down to 5 a day. The succeeding months had unchanging low performance,
but we noticed nearly ZERO mosquitoes in the yard to diminish out outdoor activities,
even morning and evening. For the few remaining bugs we burn citronella coils
(very effective). Neighbors reported spontaneously that mosquito populations
at their houses, up to 100m distant, had declined. They attributed the change
to the City's occasional driveby with the little spray truck. I think it's likely
that over time, this machine draws down populations in a large area, just as
scholarly (Univ. of Fla. Gainesville) reports and manufacturer's literature
Last week brought really 'Tropical' weather, with about 10"
of rain in a couple days. The back yard filled in low spots to about 10% of
the area and stayed for several days. There was no apparent change in mosquito
populations for 2 days after. On the third day I checked the catch basket on
the 'Vac and found over a thousand deceased mosquitoes. Since then, the catch
has been more than 500 a day. We are suffering from a few more bugs in the house
but not outdoors. The sticky surface is similarly quickly filled, mostly with
flies, in 3 days versus 3 weeks previously. The weather here has been VERY humid
and uncomfortable.
It's rough to pinpoint causation when more than one
characteristic changes Not only was the weather/bug hatching different, but
the LEDs failed, just as I powered it up after returning to USA last week. Again,
we have had several very wet periods since I bought it that didn't result in
high yields, but not quite so wet.
Things are drying out now, and if
yields continue much higher than in August, I must surmise that the LEDs actually
repelled the bugs and this machine is MIRACULOUS."
Ft. Lauderdale
"I just assembled my SV-3000, that was easy! Hooked up the propane and lit
it at 5:00 pm. I spent 1 hour watering my lawn by hand from 7-8 PM and not a
single mosquito landed on me! normally I am brushing off several. I had to peek
in the tray this morning to see how many were in there. Hundreds! Several flew
out before I could get the tray slid back in! This is a gerrrreat product! I'm
looking forward to finally being able to be playing baseball with my kids in
my yard in the evening after 7PM."
M.B Brookfield, CT
"We got in our Skeeter Vac last month and we are EXTREMELY pleased. I changed
the propane tank and emptied the bag after 22 days. The whole back of the bag
was filled. I guesstimate 3000 mosquitos were dried & dead inside. Even now
we can walk in our backyard - and mosquitos don't bite (after only 1 month).
Occasional gnats are all that is around. What a difference! Your machine works
great! Thanks again."
A.C., Florida
"I have horses on my property. With the West Niles virus proposing a deathly
problem to my horses, I decided to try your product to improve my mosquito control.
I am very happy to say that my mosquito problem is almost entirely eliminated
in all areas on the front side of the machine. I can now work outside, my horses
don't paw and stomp in the pasture and we can enjoy the summer without being
eaten alive. To cover the rear of the property, I have invested in a second
machine. My deepest appreciation to your company for doing such a fine job with
mosquito control. I am telling all my "horse" friends about your product!"
"... SkeeterVac is the greatest thing since sliced bread, night baseball and canned beer. It has done wonders at getting rid of the skeeters. We live in a heavily wooded area which is very wet most of the time." B.M., South Carolina
"I have purchased one of your SkeeterVac machines. The machine is working
very well, and I am impressed in the quality of the construction."
M.C., Alaska
"I am the proud new owner of one of your propane mosquito traps. I must say
I was impressed with the ease of the assembly and the directions provided. It
is not often I can say that about other products I have purchased."
C.C., South
"We bought one SkeeterVac and loved it so much, that we bought two more!
Thanks for such a great product."
S.M., Alaska
"I have a SkeeterVac SV-35. It has been an awesome for stopping mosquito
problems in my own back yard i am a true believer in the machine. I have been
constantly asked where do you get it ? Or how does it work . I pride to be owner
of SkeeterVac SV-35."
M.K., Virginia
Amazing product!!! I've have been through 5 mosquito magnets in three years.
Your product has worked fantastic. Much more reliable. Thank you for making
a great product. I use to pray every time I'd change my tank on the Mosquito
Magnet on whether or not it would start again. I kid you not that last year
I returned five consecutive MM to Home Depot because I couldn't get the units
to fire. Talk about a crappy product. MM said it was my tanks. The Skeeter Trap
fired up on the same LP tanks, all four of them, out of the box and every time
after 4 tank changes. I'm telling everyone I know to change.
Keep up the great job!

History may be doomed to repeat itself, but does that mean we have to watch it over and over again? When there are Nazi zombies with doomsday devices, we just might be tempted.
The first OUTPOST featured Ray Stevenson (ROME, PUNISHER: WAR ZONE) and a cast of kick-ass mercenaries fighting undead Nazi storm-troopers circa World War II. Most of the killing took place in a claustrophobic bunker, where the good guys discovered a futuristic machine constructed by Third Reich occultists and scientists. The device's mysterious electro-magnetic field kept evil apparitions trapped in a sort of cosmic amber; not quite alive, not quite dead… but quite deadly.
OUTPOST: BLACK SUN picks up in 1945, at the close of WWII, where we meet a shadowy German scientist working on a dangerous new technology which has the power to create an immortal army. Then, fast-forward to present day, where a NATO task force (Catherine Steadman, Richard Coyle, Clive Russell and Michael Byrne) is deployed to Eastern Europe to defeat a sinister enemy. It's their mission to prevent the rise of the Fourth Reich, and yes, it's as dangerous as it sounds.
The strength of both films is the fact that the Third Reich did indeed conduct bizarre scientific experiments on human beings, and the idea that zombies could be the result isn't actually too far-fetched. Add a few conspiracy theories, the hell of war, cool uniforms festooned with iconic symbols, and plenty of close-up gory deaths at the bony hands of the unstoppable undead, and you have the makings of a reasonably impressive sequel (not to mention the fact director Steve Barker returns for another tour of duty).
The cinematography is beautiful and sharp, making excellent use of contrasts, and does well to show just enough detail while obscuring some moments to mysterious effect. The acting is fine, and the story is interesting enough, but there are just too many balls in the air to keep track, and much is lost in the shuffle. There is eye-candy, but no real substance. Not that OUTPOST was especially thought-provoking, but it was spare and elemental. And in that one, the zombies were eerie and otherworldly; here, they're just marching, munching hordes present only to kill and be killed.
The makings are all there, but OUTPOST: BLACK SUN is often overly ambitious and the whole shebang winds up faltering under the strain.

Publisher's DescriptionThe dramatic changes that have taken place both in global society and in the church have implications for how the church does missions in the twenty-first century. These trends include the rise of postmodernism, the spiritual decline in the West and the advance of the gospel in the rest of the world, and the impact of technology on society and missions.
The Changing Face of World Missions is for the mission-minded church leader or lay person who wants to understand these trends. Each chapter identifies and evaluates a trend, examines it in light of Scripture, and proposes a practical response. Important terms are defined, and sidebars help readers think through the issues on their own. Author BioGailyn Van Rheenen (D.Miss., Trinity Evangelical Divinity School) retired from Abilene Christian University in 2003 to launch Mission Alive, an organization devoted to the training of Christian leaders. Douglas McConnell (Ph.D., Fuller Theological Seminary) is dean of the School of Intercultural Studies and associate professor of leadership at Fuller.

Firewalls (January 1995) |
With all this talk regarding port scanning, I was wondering what people are using to monitor the unused ports on their firewalls. I can visualize the program which would do it, or even how to configure inetd to do the monitoring, but puting ~65000 entries in my inetd file does not "light my candle". Perhaps an inetd like utility (anti-inetd) which reads the inetd.conf as "don't watch on these ports" instead of watch on these ports as inetd does. b. -- Brian J.

Often polls show how the public is leaning on a particular issue, but other times they reveal how the respondents and sometimes even the pollsters have the issue all wrong. Gallup released a poll last week about where the public stands on what makes a person gay. Apparently they've been asking the question for some time, and there's been a pretty even split between "nature" and "nurture" for the past 10 years:
Gallup uses the poll to conclude that people who believe same-sex orientation is inherent are more likely to support LGBT equality. However, the question has two serious flaws that actually contribute to the continued miseducation of the public. First of all, same-sex orientations and opposite-sex orientations form through the same process, so by asking about gays and lesbians as though they are different reinforces the belief that they actually are somehow different. Secondly, the answer to the question is not either/or; as scientists best understand sexual orientation, it is a "complex interaction of environmental, cognitive and biological factors."
Most importantly, the answer to the question should be moot, and as a result, Gallup's interpretation of the result are perhaps not entirely accurate. Given that sexual orientation is influenced by both biology and environment, how people answer the question does not actually address whether they think it is a choice or "inherent." Sexual orientation is influenced by the environment and it is inherent, so the answer to this false dichotomy does not paint the whole picture.
Continued open discussion of the reasons for sexuality prove only to be an outlet for doubters to continue making their unfounded case. Like evolution and the age of the earth, scientists are no longer debating the causes of sexual orientation, so it should be up to journalists to be educating, not casting more doubt.

The Irish U20s take on France U20s in the JWC fifth place play off on Tuesday night at Stade Henri Desgrange in La Roche-sur-Yon.
The Editor
He's 12 weeks into his new life and still enamoured, his decision to join an easy one. " I look at Munster as similar to the Crusaders back at home."
"I was blessed enough to be part of such a successful era in the Crusaders. And I just saw so many similarities between the two clubs."
"Obviously I came and visited and met the boys and from then on I wanted to be part of it. Want to be part of the legacy and obviously try create my own history as well."
He can't think of any negatives though he was perhaps expecting the to and froing to Limerick to be an issue. "I thought it was going to be a problem at first but it hasn't been. It's kinda good spending a bit of time with the boys heading up to Limerick and vice versa so no worries there. You've gotta look at the positives."
And one of those positives he can take with him to Ravenhill will be the memory of his first visit there in April 2010 when he scored a try in a Man of the Match performance for the Blues in their 33-24 victory.
"Ulster are a very good side. The crowd is a big factor especially up there and they've been a big factor in their success the last few years."
"We're aware of that. We're preparing for a big match and I think it'll be the first really big Test for us as well in terms of what we want to do."

Changing Scene Presents: 'All the Great Books (Abridged)'

In the true spirit of kaleidoscope theater, Changing Scene just can't seem to get enough of the mash ups.Following it's double-run of "The Complete History of America (Abridged)," at the end of last year, the troupe is back with "All the Great Books (Abridged)."
Once again the info-packed romp is being directed by Darren Hembd, accompanied by an authentic Chinese meal at the Panda Inn restaurant and lounge off of Kitsap Way. This time Brianna Osborne (from the Complete History) will share the stage Pavlina Morris and Anna Reihl.
Once again, the production's premise — covering 86 great works of literature in less than two hours — is completely and utterly ridiculous, but we love them all the more for it.
The show opens tonightand will play through March 28 with curtains at 7 p.m., preceded by dinner at 6:30 p.m., seating at 6 p.m. at the Panda Inn, 4180 Kitsap Way in Bremerton.
Tickets are $25 dinner included (with a limited number of show-only tickets). Since there is also a limited number of seats available, reservations are required by calling (360) 792-8601.

I am against the proposal to allow unsolicited pre-recorded sales pitches or any other form of sales pitch to a number on the "Do not call" list. This proposal amounts to a breach of promise on the part of our government and works against the purpose for getting on this list. Perhaps people should get some of the phone numbers to the FCC and forward these calls to them when they are received. Then MAYBE you would get the message. We don't want these calls, that is why we got on the list in the first place. Bill Bobb Stuart, Florida

I should probably be sleeping now. Since it is 1.30am and I'm in work tomorrow. But I have hardly spoken two words to anyone all day and I have all these thoughts rattling around my head that will have to go somewhere so I can go to sleep.
Well I went out again last night for another crazy drinking night. The evening started off badly and I had this strange feeling that I should probably just stay home, but alas I ignored it. The club I was going to opened at 10.30pm, but due to the fact that I was working I did not get there until about midnight. I went in and found my friends, all of whom were happily drinking away. So I went to the bar and bought myself a couple of drinks. I got chatting and dancing with some people. Then there was a group of people there that I vaguely know from a group I joined. The girl I like was there. I tried talking to her like a normal person. But I get so damn nervous. Fast foward a little bit and I go to my bag which I am wearing, to take my purse out, only to find it has been robbed.
I knew once it wasn't there that it had been stolen because I remembered putting it in there and the bag was sealed. So myself and my friends begin searching everywhere for it anyways, but with no luck at all. So at this point I was feeling fairly upset, so just to add to my misery I see the girl I like kissing this other girl I know. It kind of felt like a double kick in the stomach, even though I am clearly aware that this other girl is not into me anyways.
Out of the group of friends I was with only one of the guys was sober enough to realise how upset I was about it. He was really nice and comforting to me, but I was completly broke since my purse contained my bank card and all my money. I didn't even have a housekey to get into my house, and my friend did not have enough money to pay for a taxi. So randomly and crazy enough, myself and said friend ended up staying in this guys house who is friends of a friend of a friend. It was a little dangerous considering I vaguely know this guy, but it turned out ok and he is actually a lovely guy.
I just seem to always end up drawing the short straw. Why did it have to be my bag that got robbed, why did it have to be the girl I like kissing someone else.
It's not the first time my whole night has gone completely arseways while everyone else is getting along great. At pride I had to be the person that got pushed and fell and got knocked out and spent the night in hospital with unjuries I'm still recovering from.
I think I am done now. I am finsihed being out there and being all social and stuff. I am tired of everything and everyone. I wish I could just wipe my life clean and start afresh or move away somewhere new.
Sadly I can't but I think I just want to cut myself off from everyone for a while. I think I need some me time to clear my head and sort myself out.

- 4 Aug 2010
I felt I was not aging gracefully. Since I turned 50 I could see my genetics were not in my favor. I inherited my mother's turkey neck and my father's jowls. Most times when I was looking in the mirror putting on make-up I would pull my neck back with my finger to see my profile and imagine what I would look like without the exta skin. I started to do my homework & a facelift became a reality.
Yes, there was post-op discomfort, but to me it was so worth it. I love the way I look & feel. Believe me when I say it was a complete attitude transformation. I let my hair grow & wear a ponytail, something I would never do never before as it would call attention to your jaw line( or lack of one). My make-up regimen time has been cut in half or less depending on what I'm dressing for.
I have absolutely no regrets. I'm 57 & I don't think I look my age. People who see me (not a daily basis)can't quite figure out why I look so well. Usually they ask..did you lose weight, is your hair different or just wow, you're looking good. When I tell them I had a facelift their comment is..but you look so natural! I'm loving life.
Great review?
My Doctor: Join to view doctor's name
I decided I did not want gereral anesthesia, to me that was the major risk factor. That was my first reason for chosing LifeStyle Lift. My doctor & his staff took the time to answer all my questions both before & after surgery. My follow up care was amazing. I highly recommend LifeStyle Lift & "Dr. Cat". I am a happy person!

A Michigan court convicted Lloyd Perkins of murder and sentenced him to life in prison. Nearly twenty years later, Perkins is now challenging his conviction based on new evidence supporting his innocence. The lower courts rejected Perkins' petition for a writ of habeas corpus because of his failure to meet the statute of limitations according to the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 ("AEDPA"). Perkins maintains that Supreme Court precedent does not require petitioners to reasonably and diligently pursue their underlying constitutional claims to invoke an actual-innocence exception. Perkins also argues that, since traditional equitable principles dictate that courts have the authority to fashion equitable remedies to fill statutory gaps, tolling AEDPA's one-year statute of limitations does not run contrary to express congressional intent. McQuiggin counters that AEDPA's one-year statute of limitations cannot be equitably tolled for petitioners who have failed to reasonably and diligently pursue their constitutional claims. Furthermore, McQuiggin argues that courts cannot equitably toll AEDPA's one-year statute of limitations in Perkins' case because doing so would alter the express meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1). This case will determine the responsibilities of federal courts in hearing habeas corpus petitions and define the avenues in which inmates can attempt to prove their innocence.
The authors would like to thank Professor Keir Weyble for his insights into this case.
"Time zone arbitrage" is an investment practice that takes advantage of the time difference between markets in the United States and abroad but that may harm international institutional investors. In its initial action against defendants, Marc J. Gabelli and Bruce Alpert (collectively, "Gabelli"), the SEC alleged that Gabelli allowed a single investor in the mutual fund they managed to engage in a time zone arbitrage. The SEC argued that Gabelli committed securities fraud by allowing such a practice while simultaneously representing to the directors and investors of the mutual fund that time zone arbitrage would not be tolerated. The SEC action was dismissed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for having exceeded the statute of limitations. However, the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed, stating that the period did not begin running for statute of limitations purposes until the SEC discovered the alleged misconduct, rather than when the alleged misconduct first occurred. The defendants now appeal, arguing that potential targets of government enforcement actions should not have to live under the constant threat of penalty for conduct long since passed. The SEC counters that wrongdoers should not benefit by virtue of their conduct being more difficult to uncover. The Supreme Court's resolution of this case will have long lasting implications on the government's efforts to regulate the securities market.
Section 2462 of Title 28 of the United States Code provides that "except as otherwise provided by Act of Congress" any penalty action brought by the government must be "commenced within five years from the date when the claims first accrued." (emphasis added). This Court has explained that "[i]n common parlance a right accrues when it comes into existence." United States v. Lindsay, 346 U.S. 568, 569 (1954).
Where Congress has not enacted a separate controlling provision, does the government's claim first accrue for purposes of applying the five-year limitations period under 28 U.S.C. § 2462 when the government can first bring an action for a penalty?
Whether the five-year limitation for government enforcement actions begins running when the government discovered an alleged violation or when the alleged violation took place.
Petitioner Calvin Smith was involved in a criminal drug distribution organization and imprisoned for a related murder in 1994. In 2000, a grand jury brought indictments against him. Smith defended his two conspiracy charges on the grounds that the statute of limitations barred his conviction because he had withdrawn from the conspiracy more than five years ago. The trial court directed the jury that the burden of proof was on Smith as defendant to prove withdrawal by a preponderance of the evidence. Smith claims his participation in the conspiracy during the statutory period is a necessary element of his crime that the government must prove. Additionally, since withdrawal and participation are mutually exclusive, his withdrawal would negate an essential element of the government's case against him. The United States argues that withdrawal is an affirmative defense, and the burden of proof lies with the defendant. This case will define the boundaries of Due Process Protection in conspiracy cases and similar cases involving amorphous and on-going criminal activity.
Whether withdrawing from a conspiracy prior to the statute of limitations period negates an element of a conspiracy charge such that, once a defendant meets his burden of production that he did so withdraw, the burden of persuasion rests with the government to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he was a member of the conspiracy during the relevant period -- a fundamental due process question that is the subject of a well-developed circuit split.
Whether requiring the defendant to bear the burden of proving withdrawal from a conspiracy as an affirmative defense violates Due Process.
Oral argument: Feb. 27, 2012
Appealed from: United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit (Nov. 26, 2010)
Petitioner Patrick Wood filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus on February 25, 2008, in order to challenge his murder conviction. On appeal, the appellate court raised, sua sponte, a 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d) statute of limitations defense that barred Wood's claims. Wood argues that appellate courts lack authority to raise a statute of limitations defense sua sponte, because an affirmative defense is forfeited if not raised, and because the government waived its statute of limitations defense at the district court level. In opposition, Kevin Milyard argues that appellate courts do have authority to raise a statute of limitations defense sua sponte, assuming the state did not intelligently waive the defense in the district court. In determining appellate court capacity to independently raise statute of limitations defenses, this decision will impact the finality of lower court decisions.
Oral argument: January 17, 2012
Appealed from: United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (Feb. 7, 2011)
In 2006, the IRS adjusted Respondent Home Concrete's 1999 tax return, claiming that Home Concrete overstated its basis in sold assets. The Fourth Circuit found that this adjustment was untimely under the general three year statute of limitations for IRS actions, concluding that overstatements of basis are not omissions that would trigger an extended six year statute of limitations. Petitioner, the United States, argues that the language and purpose behind the statute clarify that overstating a sold asset's basis triggers the extended period, and that the Fourth Circuit should have deferred to the IRS's statutory interpretation contained within a Treasury Department regulation finalized during the appeal. Home Concrete argues that Supreme Court precedent applies here, eliminating ambiguity in the statutory interpretation. The Supreme Court's decision will resolve a circuit split over the proper limitations period; the decision will also address the degree of deference due to a Treasury regulation that may be interpreted as conflicting with Supreme Court precedent, and that may be viewed as applying retroactively. The Court's decision may affect the IRS's timeframe to detect certain complex tax schemes, and the time period within which taxpayers are subject to audits.
Oral argument: Nov. 30, 2009
Appealed from: United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (Sept. 9, 2008)
Under 28 U.S.C. § 1658(b), a plaintiff must file a claim alleging violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 no later than two years after the plaintiff discovers the facts constituting the violation. The Courts of Appeals are in general agreement that the two-year period of limitations begins when the plaintiff had, or should have had knowledge of the facts constituting the violation. What is at issue in this case is whether knowledge that defendant acted with the intent to deceive is a fact constituting the violation for purposes of triggering the two-year period of limitation. The Supreme Court's decision will resolve this question of statutory interpretation and, in so doing, will determine the delicate balance between allowing plaintiffs with meritorious claims access to the federal courts and providing certainty and repose to potential securities fraud defendants.
Appealed from: United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit
Oral argument: November 6, 2006
Appealed from: United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit
Oral argument: Nov. 9, 2005
Oral argument: Nov. 4, 2008
Appealed from: United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit (May 25, 2007)
Oral argument: March 24, 2008

Medical coding has always been challenging and will soon become even more so. Certified professional coders may work in clinics or hospitals, deciphering providers' dictation or notes to determine which code to apply to a patient's health record for proper reimbursement. Or they may be on the receiving end, working for an insurer that provides the reimbursement.
In October 2013, U.S. medical coders must comply with a more complex system of coding that, thanks to the World Health Organization, is being adopted worldwide. It's known as ICD-10, or International Classification of Disease, 10th revision.
ICD-10 is designed to support electronic health information management, which many area hospitals have already adopted. The American Academy of Professional Coders (www.aapc.com) and the American Health Information Management Association (www.ahima.org) are offering ICD-10 courses to help speed compliance.
More Complex Codes Coming
Jenny Nemeth, a registered health information technician at Hennepin County Medical Center (www.hcmed.org), says coders will have to learn longer and more complex codes. "Now the highest digit is 5 and ICD-10 has numerous digits and letters," she explains.
Nemeth, who received an Associate of Applied Science degree from Rasmussen College (www.rasmussen.edu) in St. Cloud, codes for the hospital's emergency and surgery departments. Anoka Technical College (www.anokatech.edu) also offers medical coding.
"I wanted something in the healthcare field but I didn't want to work with patients," Nemeth explains. "I like the flexibility of the hours and I am more of an individual worker. I like that because I can work at my own pace."
What Coders Need To Know
Certified professional coders must know anatomy, physiology and medical terminology. With further education, they may specialize in a number of areas, including anesthesia, cardiology, dermatology, emergency medicine, gastroenterology, rheumatology and surgery.
No matter the area, coders must also be detail-oriented in order to code correctly for diagnoses, procedures and services. For example, if a strep test is performed and the diagnosis is unclear, Nemeth says she sends the provider a query. Coders must be careful to word such queries so as not to influence providers, she advises. "Ask questions," she adds. "Verify the information that you have."
Now's a great time to get into medical coding, according to Roberta Regis, an instructor of Medical Coding Fundamentals at Hennepin Technical College in Brooklyn Park (www.hennepintech.edu). Hennepin Tech partners with Anoka Tech in the Coding Specialist Program. "The diagnosis coding system is going to be changing, so for a coder to get their foot in the door now is great," Regis says. "There will be more electronic medical records. There are many possibilities in the medical coding field."

D.O.T(Defender of Texel) problem.
Ok first of all...in case anyone does play it...please enter this invite ID:
LHgs Second, for some reason, D.O.T won't start up or keeps bringing me back to the home screen on my iphone after finishing the tutorials. It works just fine on my ipad, not that I have any problems or conflicts on playing on the ipad. It's just it's a shared ipad and I don't get to use that very often. On my phone however, i've tried deleting a few things and got my memory storage up to 2gb available and its all up to date. Reinstalled the game and finished the tutorial. Right after i tap the screen where it says "Tap to login", it just crashes or brings me to the home screen.. Does it not like iphones for any particular reasons? |

My Humps, My Lovely.... yeah, well, you know the song.
So, from this point on I am now beginning Operation Healthy Wife. Nope, not skinny. I don't want to be skinny. I want to be healthy, and for me that number above ain't healthy. I'd like to be down to a healthy weight by our anniversary in July, so I can fit into some cute little number on our vacation. Lord knows, we'll need one by then, but that's a whole 'nother post.
Alright, wish me luck and send me some good weight loss vibes, because this lady is on a MISSION!
Mrs. Sergeant

Go you! You're right, health is the most important thing. I stopped weighing myself over a year ago because I would get too concerned with trying to meet some arbitrary number and compromise otherwise healthy choices. You can do it! Good luck :)

I could follow your steps with OHL becasue I'm 5'3 and my scale is showing 129 at the moment; last time it showed that number I was in high school having hard time over my weight. I guess the biggest problem is that I gained 15 lbs in just 6 months. :(

Short review: This website is definitely "up there" on the list of club and party-themed porno web-sites. In my opinion, they've really shagged the atmosphere and have injected just enough realism into the mix to keep things interesting. If that's not enough to reel you, possibly the 19 bonus websites will seal the deal. No? Well, if you're willing to fork over a little more bread, you can get a tempting package deal that lets you access quality live-cam shows. All in all, a real winner for anyone into public nudeness, naughty behavior, or just uproarious reveals of public drunkenness in general. |

Days before a judge began hearing a challenge to Pennsylvania's GOP-crafted voter ID law last week, Secretary of the Commonwealth Carol Aichele issued a news release apparently intended to eliminate concerns the law would disenfranchise about three-quarters of a million residents.
That's the number of people who lack a state Department of Transportation-issued driver's license or non-driver photo ID card, state officials now acknowledge, after first signiificantly underestimating the figure.
Civil liberty groups are suing to block the 4-month-old law from taking effect for the November election, arguing it's an unneccesary and partisan effort to make it harder for Democratic-leaning voters to cast ballots.
Republicans claim the law, one of the toughest in the country, is needed to protect the electoral process from voter fraud. However, the state's lawyers acknowledged before the court case even began Wednesday that they "are not aware of any incidents of in-person voter fraud" and wouldn't be arguing that point.
Which leaves election rigging.
House majority leader Mike Turzai admitted as much last month during a Republican State Committee meeting.
Rattling off his party's "accomplishments" while in complete control of state government, he said this: "Voter ID, which is gonna allow Gov. Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania, done."
It doesn't get much more blatant than that.
Still, Aichele tried to deflate the plaintiffs' argument by announcing the creation of a new voter ID card. It will be issued to anyone who isn't able to provide all of the documents needed to obtain a valid photo ID from PennDOT, such as a birth certificate.
All anyone has to do to get one is tell PennDOT they don't have approved identification to vote, provide two proofs of residence such as a utility bill, and give their birth date.
Basically, that's the same information someone needed to register to vote for the first time in a district under the old law.
Seems like the Republicans have argued themselves in a circle: There is no problem and the previous rules are fine.
Finally, we can agree.
So why wait for a judge to strike it down or the U.S. Justice Department to step in?
Repeal the law, and maybe we can forget this whole ugly mess happened.
Probably not, though.

Skip Maine state header navigation
One overriding factor is that with Maine's moist climate and good soils, trees grow naturally in almost all parts of the state. Without human intervention, most of the state would remain forested. A major change over the past three centuries, directly tied to humans, is the amount of forest. Maine has more forest today than it did in the mid-1800s - in some parts of the state, much more.
Human use of the forest and clearing for other land uses, especially since European settlement, has had a major influence on the amount of forest cover and the types of forests found in many parts of the state. From the earliest ship-building, agriculture, timber harvesting for a developing forest products industry, human-caused fires, the introduction of exotic species, air quality and climate - these influences can be seen in individual woodlots as well as in the broader landscape. Each part of Maine's forest has its own unique history
