Just a few months after acquiring him from the Portland Timbers, FC Dallas has traded Jeremy Hall to Toronto FC in exchange for a second round pick in the 2013 SuperDraft. Toronto FC will be Hall's fourth team in a little more than a calendar year. He was traded from the New York Red Bulls to the Portland Timbers on Nov. 22, 2010 and then sent from Portland to Dallas for Eric Alexander in August.
"We're happy to add Jeremy Hall to our club. He is a solid defender with excellent MLS experience," TFC Coach and Technical Director Aron Winter said in a team release. "Defense is one of the areas that we want to address this offseason and acquiring Jeremy is a positive step forward for our club."
Due at least in part to his near constant movement, Hall has been limited to 28 starts over the past two seasons after making 22 starts his rookie year. The former first-round draft pick has been moved from midfield to fullback during that time and, while TFC will likely use him there, he has not looked as comfortable playing out of the back.
For the latest on MLS's offseason moves, be sure to follow this StoryStream. For more on the trade, be sure to check out FC Dallas blog Big D Soccer and Toronto FC blog Waking the Red.

The Whitechapel Art Gallery was founded in 1901 to bring great art to the people of east London. Internationally acclaimed for its exhibitions of modern and contemporary art and its pioneering education and public events programmes, the Gallery has premiered international artists such as Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Nan Goldin, and provided a showcase for Britain's most significant artists from Gilbert & George to Lucian Freud, Peter Doig to Mark Wallinger.
The Gallery plays a unique role in the capital's cultural landscape and is pivotal to the continued growth of East London as the world's most vibrant contemporary art quarter.
The Grade II* Whitechapel Gallery was designed by architect Charles Harrison Townsend. This purpose built gallery is an outstanding example of the Arts and Crafts movement and its aspirations of being accessible, spiritually uplifting and transformative.

INDIANAPOLIS --- The federal government has given conditional approval to Indiana to extend its state-run Healthy Indiana Plan that provides health insurance coverage for about 37,000 low-income Hoosiers while officials continue to wrestle over what to do with the hundreds of thousands of state residents who remain uninsured.
On Tuesday, Gov. Mike Pence announced the decision by the Obama administration to grant a limited extension to the state-run insurance program through the end of 2014. As part of the agreement, Indiana will lower the income level for eligibility for the program, pushing about 11,000 current enrollees off its rolls.
"Securing the waiver to continue the Healthy Indiana Plan is a victory for Hoosiers enrolled in this innovative program and it will ensure that Indiana remains in the forefront of consumer-driven health care in the United States," Pence said.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services okayed extending the plan, known as HIP, "in order not to disrupt the coverage currently afforded in Indiana as the state continues to consider its coverage options," according to a letter sent by the the federal government to Debra Minot, head of the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration.
Pence said he was "grateful" for the negotiations with the Obama administration and is still seeking its approval to use state plan as a vehicle for Medicaid expansion under the federal Affordable Care Act.
While 25 states have opted to expand the traditional Medicaid program using federal dollars to cover their uninsured citizens, Pence has resisted doing so. On Tuesday, he repeated his opposition to expanding the Medicaid program, citing concerns about long-term costs to the state.
Pence minimized concerns about the state's estimated 300,000 uninsured residents who won't be eligible for HIP or to buy the subsidized private health insurance that will be available through a federal health exchange program next year.

Town Square
District gives nod to new parcel tax
Original post made on Feb 15, 2008

So does this mean the teachers will get the 4.5% cola added to their pay like the firefighters in this town will get for the next 5 years? Let's see the district put their money where their mouth is because from my recollection, teacher raises and COLA adjustments have been almost nonexistent since the last tax increase. If you want to retain and recruit good teachers, pay them what they're worth, as have the surrounding school districts with higher performing schools. It's teachers that impact students more than anything else.
on Feb 18, 2008 at 6:52 pm
WHAT? AGAIN? Are we all living on the same planet? I cannot believe this.
* Teacher retention and recruitment YEAH RIGHT, DOES THIS ACTUALLY MEAN THE TEACHERS WILL GET PAID MORE. A SIMPLE YES OR NO ANSWER IS ALL THAT'S REQUIRED, BUT YOU'LL NEVER GET IT
* School libraries - Go to the PUBLIC LIBRARY instead
* Lower class sizes - They already are low! FOR PETE'S SAKE I SAT IN CLASSROOMS OF 30 OR MORE MY ENTIRE TIME IN SCHOOL.
* Music and arts programs - FOCUS ON MATH, SCIENCE INSTEAD.
* Outdoor education - WHAT!?! I don't even want to know what this is.
* Student leadership classes WHAT!?! Who came up with this wacko list. THIS IS A ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT.
* Support for English language learners OH PLEASE... HERE WE GO AGAIN FOOTING THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION TAX BILL SINCE NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO PAY FOR IT
* Extracurricular sports programs OH PLEASE
* On-site intervention specialists NOW WHAT? MORE GANGS IN THE SCHOOLS
* Intersession programming during school breaks THIS IS THE LIMIT! WHAT A BUNCH OF HOG WASH
* Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) programs TAKE THE MONEY YOU SAVE FROM PAY MORE TAXES AND GET YOUR KID PIANO LESSONS
RECALL THE BOARD, they've obviously lost their senses/
on Feb 28, 2008 at 1:06 pm
NUMB, your insensitivity is amazing. Spoken like someone who is no raising kids in the here and now. Since I am raising kids, I can tell you that these programs are absolutely necessary. It can make a difference between having inadequately educated children who roam the streets and get into trouble,growing up to be on public assistance because they were given substandard education and guidance,and children who thrive because they are exposed to a myriad of programs. Good parenting can only go so far. A great education combined with great parenting is what's needed. Our children deserve nothing less than the best we can offer. It's much more than just science and math.
on Feb 28, 2008 at 6:01 pm
With Mountain View schools doing so poorly, I think Numb's main concern was to focus on the basics and shelve the rest. We are in a recession. Not all families can afford higher taxes. Schools need to focus on science and math above all else after reading and writing. Yet science and math is nowhere on the list. You won't have to go far to find how dismal the school districts performs in these areas. The state and nation as a whole is doing terrible in these areas. The middle schools can never find qualified science and math teachers. The ones at the middle schools are just rotten (and you'd know if were a scientist).
I say recall the board as well. It's not like over half were even elected anyway. One was appointed, another faced no challengers and just walked in, as was the same for a third seeking a second term. Smart and wealthier families just take their kids out and go to private schools. I say you should do the same if you don't want your kids roaming the streets.
on Mar 8, 2008 at 4:05 pm
NUMB and Enough! you have convinced me beyond a doubt that you
1. don't have children in MV public schools
2. have not attended a school board meeting in the last 5 years or so
3. base your observations on rumors, as your accusations are LIGHT YEARS from what's actually happening in our schools.
4. have never set foot inside a school library
We have kids whose first experience camping or going to the mountains is at 5th grade science camp
There is a huge amount of research that shows a link between music studies and achievement in math
Please find another ax to grind.
on Mar 10, 2008 at 8:36 pm
We got a 1% bonus for a raise. Technically it's not a raise. It comes to about $300 per teacher this year and next. Doesn't even begin to cover runaway gas prices. The district threatened the union with cutting into our benefits if we didn't accept it.
I suggest you try quoting some more facts on teacher raises since you're so good at towing the party line. Tell us all how teacher raises have kept up with the cost of living and inflation rate for this area. Go ahead. Research the last 5 years. Do your homework and you'll find out our salaries are being whittled away and our purchasing power has declined. Then research administrators salaries for the same period. What? Cat got your tongue?
on Mar 10, 2008 at 10:04 pm
1. "Numb" and "Enough" are the same person. I have been reading other articles comments and I can assure you it is the same person. He is an idiot!
2. Teacher: Wow! What do salaries have to do with Robin's comment?
on Mar 11, 2008 at 3:59 pm
You're the idiot Jackson.
If you bothered to read the article you would see that the
tax money would supposedly go toward and attracting and retaining teachers.
My point was that the district never follows through with raises.
And your point is?
on Mar 11, 2008 at 6:22 pm
I say tax Google. Then through out the school administration and higher a private firm to shake up Mountain View schools. Oh wait, that would end the gravy train.

MARSEILLE, France (AP) -- Andre Ayew rose to head home a corner deep into injury time Wednesday as Marseille beat Inter Milan 1-0 in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 matchup.
Inter, the 2010 champion, grew in confidence as the second half wore on, but struggled to carve out clear chances against a well-organized Marseille team that lacked invention and a cutting edge up front.
Claudio Ranieri's team looked to have done enough to secure a draw, but Ayew timed his run perfectly to head the ball past goalkeeper Julio Cesar's outstretched hand to condemn Ranieri's side to its sixth defeat in the past seven games.
Diego Forlan had Inter's best opportunity early in the match when he forced goalkeeper Steve Mandanda to tip the ball over the crossbar from close range.

Boy, were there a lot of different pinot noirs and a lot of very passionate, very intelligent folks out there pouring. And a lot of people were tasting. We don't have the final numbers, but it sure looked like everyone pretty much poured everything they had. We left relatively early and there were several wineries whose wine

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSRiverside Students Testing Their School's Water
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Feb. 11, 2014 6:31 PM EST
Updated: Feb. 12, 2014 10:10 AM EST
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (Kennie Bass) - Riverside High School has dealt with its share of water-related problems. A student and teachers sent to the hospital, many complaints of eye and nose irritation, disrupted schedules and canceled classes.
The school's advanced placement chemistry students decided to check the water coming into their lab.
"Our whole goal was basically just to let the kids realize that these are things, some things we can test for in the lab," Tara Veazey, Riverside High School teacher said. "But there are some things, just in a generic chemistry classroom that we're not able to test for."
Even though they couldn't test for crude MCHM, the students were able to analyze the differences between the building's tap water and bottled water.
"The only thing that was off about our results was the pH," Ethan Higginbotham, a Riverside junior said. "And what the pH of tap water is supposed to be is 7.2. And we found that it was around 5.2 which is slightly acidic."
Although students in the classroom have varying opinions about the safety of the water and whether they are drinking it, they all agreed that there was definitely something in their samples which didn't belong.
"It means that there's something in the water," Chris Kelly, Riverside junior said. "Something that shouldn't be in the water. I think there needs to be much more testing done on the chemical and that it needs to be found whether or not it has long term effects or not."
Although the chemistry students have varying opinions about the safety of the water and whether they are drinking it, they all agree that there was definitely something in their samples which didn't belong.
The students say after the school's pipes were flushed, the pH levels in the lab's tap water returned to normal.

Construction Update: Staircases Installed in Duke Athletic Center
Here is the latest on construction of the Duke Athletic Center and Stoffer Family Stadium: Drains arrived, so crews were able to pour the shower room floor, and the two staircases in the Duke Athletic Center are installed. Also, the lower roof is weatherproofed and work continues on the upper roof from the inside out - installing mechanical, plumbing, and electrical duct work.
The front entry off of Fulton is being cut and graded, prepped for the new driveway entrance to be poured. Once the grandstand is completed crews will complete the remainder of the site work. The stadium press boxes have not arrived yet and are running a little behind due to inspections.
Picture: The stadium bleachers as of this afternoon.
A Personal Thanks to Coaches for Countless Hours They Put In
I know we showcased the helmet "reveal" in a video a couple weeks back, but I thought you'd appreciate a nice studio shot of our HGI-produced helmet. This is the first rendition of it ...
With the stadium quickly taking shape and exciting things happening like team practices, helmet fittings and "equipment reveals," I'm reminded that we are fast approaching opening kickoff next fall! I'm also reminded that an awful lot of work goes into preparing for launching such a program. In particular, I want to thank coach Chris Casey and his staff for all the countless hours they're putting in. Just because we haven't had games yet doesn't mean they aren't burning the midnight oil.
For those who are still debating about whether or not to lend your financial support to the Stoffer Family Stadium project, let me encourage you to do so. Every little bit helps, and we're now just a little over a couple months out from our funding target deadline!

Crimestoppers has increased the reward for information leading to the arrest of a suspect in a Miami Gardens double homicide to $3,000.
The execution-style killing of Annette Anderson, a 70-year-old retired minister, and her 20-year-old grandson shocked the close-knit community surrounding Anderson's Miami Gardens home.
Police received a call from a neighbor on Tuesday expressing concern that Anderson had not been seen around the neighborhood in a few days which was out of character for the gregarious woman.
Anderson had missed church that Sunday, which was also unusual for the former pastor at Jesus People Ministries.
A family member let police into the house Tuesday morning, where they found Anderson and Tyrone Walker, Jr. bound, gagged, and shot.
The family entered Anderson's home for the first time since the crime on Thursday with a crew from Miami Herald news partners at CBS 4.
"I wanted to see the area where these animals had killed my son," Tyrone Walker Sr. said.
Tyrone Walker, Jr., "T.J." to family, was three months into a computer science program when he was murdered. His parents sent him to live with his grandmother to be closer to ITT Tech.
Pastor Virgil Walker, T.J.'s uncle, pointed to scattered stuffing in a doorway.
"This is the pillows that they used to cover them to muffle the sound from the gunshots," he said to CBS 4.
Miami Gardens Police are not releasing any information about possible leads or motives, preferring to keep their cards close in order to not tip off possible suspects.
Police officers canvassed the neighborhood Thursday conducting interviews and handing out fliers to neighbors encouraging them to contribute any information that may move the case forward.
Friday's announcement of a larger reward, is hoped, will help increase public involvement in the investigation.
Pastor Virgil Walker believes that what will truly motivate people to come forth isn't money, but hearing the emotional appeals for justice made by the parents, Tyrone Walker Sr. and Carolyn Walker.
"The reward is just gravy on top," Pastor Walker said Friday.
Anyone with information which can help investigators is encouraged to call the Miami Gardens Police Department or Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at (305) 471-TIPS.

Baseball shut out by College of Charleston
Related Links
Four College of Charleston pitchers combined to throw a two-hit shutout in a 7-0 win against the JU baseball team on Tuesday at John Sessions Stadium.
Ryan West, Kyle Ownings and Dre Watts sat down the first 24 Dolphins (2-6) hitters to help set up the Cougars (6-1)victory. Senior Matt Frank and sophomore Taylor Ratliff had hits in the ninth to break up the no-hitter, but David Peterson left a runner on third to secure the win.
West's (1-0) six perfect innings and four strikeouts gave him the win in his first start. JU senior Steven Eagerton (0-2) took his second straight loss, allowing three runs on five hits and three strikeouts in seven innings.
"I tip my hat to their pitching staff tonight," JU head coach Terry Alexander said. "They kept us off balanced all game. We need to find an offensive rhythm with our lineup so we can set ourselves up with a better shot at winning games."
Daniel Aldrich went 2-for-5 with three RBI to lead the Cougars offense. Bradley Goodson, Marty Gantt and Tyler Jackson also finished with multiple hits.
West and Eagerton matched each other through the first two innings by retiring the first six batters. Eagerton sat down the first two in the third inning before allowing a two-out walk to Gunnar Heidt. Goodson followed with a double to plate Heidt before scoring in the next at-bat on a single from Gantt.
In JU's third inning, West sat down the first two hitters he faced. Junior Jake Huxtable had a sharp grounder up the middle, but Heidt made a diving stop and threw him out at first base.
Gantt opened the sixth inning with a single though the left side. Eagerton got two quick outs, but Jackson doubled to left field to plate Gantt for the 3-0 lead.
With two outs in the sixth inning, Huxtable came up and fouled a ball to left field near the C. Peter Cost Pavilion. Cody Martin raced to the line and made sliding catch just inches from the fence to keep the perfect game bid alive.
Aldrich extended the College of Charleston lead to 7-0 lead with a three-run home run in the ninth inning.
Peterson toed the rubber with only three outs away from a perfect game, but Frank broke it up with a leadoff infield single to shortstop. Sophomore Jimmy Appleby came up to pinch hit and was walked. After a groundout moved both runners up, Ratliff followed with slow single up the third base line. Frank got thrown out at home in a run down, but Appleby advanced to third. Peterson got freshman Alex McRae out in the next at-bat to quash any comeback.
The Dolphins continue the current home stand at John Sessions Stadium on Friday with Florida A&M at 6:30 p.m. They will wrap the series with the Rattlers on Saturday at 1 p.m.

DURHAM — Duke senior Todd Zafirovski had waited four years for this moment.
Every single time I get in a game, people have been telling me, you better score, you better take a shot, he said.
Against Delaware last Saturday, Josh Hairston fouled out with 5:30 to go. Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, whose team held a 44-point lead, opted to sub in former walk-on Zafirovski instead of Mason Plumlee, much to the superstars surprise and the crowds delight.
Ive never seen coach put a guy in with five minutes left like that, Plumlee said, So I got up and then coach said Todd! So I sat back down and started cheering.
It was Zafirovskis first appearance this season and the 11th of his career. In 21 previous career minutes, he was 0-for-3 from the field.
With 2:13 remaining, Zafirovski rebounded Amile Jeffersons miss and put the ball back up on the glass.
It missed badly.
I dont really know what happened, he said with a laugh. I got the ball and I just tried to flick it up there really quickly, and I lost it.
But he assured his teammates that wouldnt happen again.
If you give it to me again, I promise Ill make it, he said.
With 1:24 left, Zafirovski received the ball in the low post again. And he kept his promise. He made his shot.
Immediately, players on Dukes bench jumped to their feet. Quinn Cook was so excited that he leapt on Seth Currys back. In the stands above them, Zafirovskis brother, Kirk raised both hands, held up two fingers, and started to get watery eyes.
It was almost surreal in some ways, Kirk said. I almost couldnt believe it had happened.
After years of working tirelessly in practice to make sure his teammates shined, Zafirovski finally had a moment of his own.
No glamour for walk-ons
The life of a Duke walk-on isnt glamorous. They are told they might not play ever. If they are fortunate enough to see the floor, minutes are scare. For example, in the 2010-11 season, Dukes two walk-ons Zafirovski and Casey Peters combined to play 28 of the teams 7,400 minutes.
The walk-ons arent there to fight teammates for minutes. Their role is to make them better in practice and scout for them during games.
Youre not worried about your shots falling or not, nothing like that, said Peters, who graduated in 2011 and didnt attempt a shot in his two years on the team. Youre focused on trying to get Mason or Kyle Singler or Jon Scheyer or Nolan Smith to do something theyre not comfortable doing in practice.
My mindset in practice, especially as the season went on and the games were getting more intense, was to make those practices my games.
When 6-foot-9 Zafirovski arrived in 2009, he was invited to try out as a practice player. Zafirovski could have played elsewhere he had been recruited heavily by Craig Robinson, Michelle Obamas brother who was then coaching at Brown, and he had interest from a few other smaller schools. But Zafirovski, who lived in Raleigh when he was younger, applied to Duke on the final day applications were due. His oldest brother Matt had gone to Duke, and Zafirovski decided he wanted to, too.
His AAU coach contacted Duke associate head coach Chris Collins the summer before he arrived. Zafirovski was told to come to the team workouts.
At his first one, he was told to guard 7-foot-1 Brian Zoubek.
No one ever told me to leave, so I just kept coming back, Zafirovski said.
Over the years, it has been his job to play defense during drills against Zoubek, Lance Thomas, and Miles and Mason Plumlee. Each was bigger, not to mention had more natural athletic ability.
It takes a toll on you, Peters said. Youre out on the court, and theres seven, eight, nine McDonalds All-Americans playing with you. Not going 150 percent physically is not an option for you.
Zafirovski attended practice every day during his first semester. He dressed in street clothes and sat next to Seth Curry, who had transferred from Liberty, during home games.
That December, freshman Olek Czyz decided to transfer. And the morning before Dukes Dec. 31 game against Penn, Krzyzewski announced during a team meeting that Zafirovski was now a member of the squad.
I remember it like it was yesterday, said Mike Zafirovski, Todds dad. It was Dec. 31, and we were supposed to have a party that night at our house in Chicago. He called us at 10 oclock that morning, and he said, I made the team, and Im dressing tonight. We changed our plans and flew to Durham that night.
Zafirovski was in uniform that night (though the name on the back was Zafirovsky). He didnt play that night or any other night that season. But he was on the team that won the national championship.
Zafirovski continued to grind. He figured eventually he would get in a game and score, but after three years, that moment hadnt come.
Sometimes its tough, but at the same time, youre playing basketball, youre playing for coach, youre playing with guys like Mason Plumlee, whos my roommate, and you cant be any happier, he said. I love it to death.
Plumlee: Bucket was awesome
Mike Zafirovski estimates that he and his wife, Robin, attend about 90 percent of Dukes home games. He was in Durham last Saturday in his room at the Washington Duke hotel, recovering from knee surgery. Robin, too, missed the Delaware game, as she was caring for another relative who was recovering from surgery.
Someone told us, maybe you should come less often to the games, and Todd will play more, Mike joked.
He was watching on TV, though, when his son scored, and he saw Dukes bench celebrate. Todd visited with his dad and other Duke parents at the Washington Duke after the game, and he and Plumlee treated themselves to a celebratory dinner. When they went home, their apartment had a big congratulatory sign on the door.
And the praise didnt stop.
Walking around campus this week, people have been walking up to me and saying congrats, Zafirovski said. For me, thats a huge thing. For people to come up to me and say something, that means a lot to me.
Watching him have his moment meant a lot to his teammates, too.
When that happened, there wasnt anyone in the program that wasnt happy for him, Plumlee said with a grin. That was just awesome.

Opposition growing to boundary plans for Alresford, says Winchester MP
12:24pm Monday 12th November 2012 in Winchester By Andrew Napier
WINCHESTER'S MP Steve Brine says there's overwhelming opposition to the Boundary Commission's plans to move Alresford, Old Alresford, Bighton and Gundleton into a new North East Hampshire and Alton constituency.
Mr Brine held a street surgery on Saturday at the junction of Broad Street and West Street on Saturday with city councillor Ernie Jeffs and town councillor Lisa Griffiths.
He said: "Ernie Jeffs and I have been holding this street surgery for almost seven years now and this one was one of our busiest to-date. We had so many people stopping to chat and everyone wanted to say how much they disagree with the proposals to sever Alresford from the Winchester constituency at the next election."
The deadline for the public consultation by the Boundary Commission is December 10.

Illinois Republicans are pushing some new laws to protect children from gang violence.

For many families in the Crossroads, school is back in session. That means no cellphone use in school zones when those lights are flashing, obeying designated crosswalks and waiting behind school buses. For others, it means hitting the books – parents and children included.
I don't have children of my own yet, but I look forward to the day my kiddo comes to me for help on his or her homework. So long as the homework doesn't cover history or social studies. Math I can do. Art for sure. And maybe smidgen of science. When I was in school, my favorite subjects were math and science.
I came across an article that touched on the subject of math. The writer, Sue Shellenbarger of the Wall Street Journal, quotes different sources about the relationships that children have with math in school and there were some examples I've seen before. She mentioned kids may develop a like or dislike of math based on the parent's response to it. If a parent says, "Math was never my favorite subject," or "I could never do this when I was your age," it could portray a negative image of the task and begin to believe that they can't do it either. My dad was an Air Force engineer and when I was younger, he shared his love of math with me.
Shellenbarger also writes that it is important to keep a positive approach when working through problems with kids. Relate the subject to everyday routines. Ask them questions during baking or shopping at the grocery store, so they can practice and apply it to real-life situations.
She adds that outside mentors can help. Schools might have after-school programs to help children with homework. The library is a good place to find resources for help.
My personal favorite, is to take a refresher course yourself. With the Internet at our fingertips, we have access to tools to keep our skills sharp. There are websites, including Khan Academy, where they can help you learn or re-learn skills you developed while in school. If it's been 20 since you've done long-hand division, sign up, log in and give it a try. Each lesson has a tutorial, taught be professionals in the field. I love this website. It even keeps tabs on your progress and if you've fallen behind, it'll require to you do the course again before continuing on. They even have videos and instructions on how to do things you didn't learn in school, like physics or astronomy.
Maybe you can take them together. It would be a fun way to bond and develop a love for a subject many people love to hate. Or just learn something new. I'm always hungry for knowledge.
What tips do you have for parents or students for learning new subjects?

My Whiter Shade of Pale
May 25, 2011 at 11:00 am , by Julie Bain
After a cool, rainy spring in New York City, the clouds part, the sidewalks steam and suddenly it's hot. And sunny. My love-hate relationship with the sun kicks in and I can't decide if I want to turn my face up and bask in it—or shield myself and run.
All winter long my black tights, leather boots and long-sleeve sweaters were like armor. But now it's time to reveal, once again, who I really am: a pale woman of northern European descent who doesn't tan but burns—and gets skin cancer.
When I was young I desperately wanted to be tan and sexy like my friends who rubbed on baby oil and turned a lovely shade of mahogany. Instead, I became porcine pink, which often peeled and even blistered a few times.
When I was diagnosed with my first basal-cell carcinoma in my 20s (the first of several skin cancers to come), I had to change my thinking. I thought of Scarlett O'Hara and other literary heroines who were deemed beautiful for their creamy white skin (well, mine was more freckled and blotchy, but whatever). And I started wearing high SPF sunscreen, shopping for cute hats and directing my feet to the shady side of the street.
I've made peace with my whiteness, although it's still a bit of a struggle every spring to peel off the tights and strut those alabaster legs with confidence. Or to mingle among the bronzed and sleek set (that's me in the photo, above, last Christmas, perhaps the whitest person in Florida). But hey, I love the hat!
Seriously, though—skin cancer is on the rise, especially among younger folks. So as we head into Memorial Day weekend, think about embracing your whiteness (you know who you are!) and making sunscreens and hats a habit.
Of course, people with any color of skin can (and do) get skin cancer and need protection, too. This Friday has been deemed Don't Fry Day by the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention. Lots of other organizations, such as the Skin Cancer Foundation and even the Environmental Protection Agency, are supporting this day of awareness with useful info on how to protect yourself. And our story "Screen Test" in the June issue of LHJ has helpful advice on how to choose, and apply, a sunscreen that'll work for you. Have a great summer—and save your skin!
Oh, and here's Procol Harum's "Whiter Shade of Pale" from 1967–one of the best songs ever!

My Place in the Sun
July 14, 2010 at 5:31 pm , by Julie Bain
I have such a love-hate relationship with the sun. It has warmed me, helped me feel relaxed and sexy, and caused my petunias to proliferate so fast you can almost hear them grow. On the other hand, it has burned me, caused the hostas on my terrace to dry and curl up like crepe paper, and sprinkled unwanted brown spots across my white Scottish-Swedish skin. It has also given me skin cancer. Six times, to be precise, starting when I was only in my 20s.
I avoid the sun now—and I miss it. I'm envious when I see lithe, tanned young girls cavorting on the beach while I stroll in my hat, sunglasses, long sleeves and SPF 100. And I worry that I'm not getting enough vitamin D. Having low levels of this vitamin (well, actually, it's a hormone), has been linked to a higher risk of cancer, vascular disease, infectious illnesses, autoimmune disease, osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes, dementia, Parkinson's and even obesity, according to studies. And we don't know if supplements really do the trick—or what the appropriate dose is. Read more

British stores are planning midnightNews
April 28, 2002, 11:31 AM
British stores are planning midnight openings to mark the launch of Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone on DVD next month.
From Ananova: "Harry Potter mania is gripping the nation once again as fans eagerly await the release of the movie on video and DVD. ... Meanwhile fans are already preparing for the release of the fifth book in the boy wizard saga, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix." It is not out until the summer but bookshops have been inundated with requests from people eager to be the first to own a copy ..." (Hmmm ... I wonder where they're getting the information to back up that timeframe?)

To simultaneously Squeeze and CRUNCH.
The classic problem of trying to scrunch twenty-eight poinds of
shit into a twenty-seven-pound basket.
po Chuck Hastings Јун 28, 2003
As a noun- the scrunch is the last 10% of the chips in a bag of chips
I was lookin forward to that bag of chips, but all she left me was the scrunch.
po SpencerWilliams Јул 23, 2014
A scrunch is a mystical being who insists on wearing scrunchies every day. A scrunch likes sex, especially when it is in the form of butt sex. It is scrunch's favorite. A scrunch is a bitter bitch because she is parched... and she has to BEG in order for a guy to let her suck his dick. Her birth certificate is actually an apology letter from a condom factory. True story.
Scrunch is in epic bitch. I often feel the compulsion to insult her.

This was a very difficult time for us.
We now own 4 dachshunds. I am glad to find someone who has the same kind of "fun" mind as I do for dogs names. Only one of ours has a "normal" name. His name is Baxter. He turned 13 this last Christmas Eve. Here is where the fun comes in. Our next doxie is named Carrots...he is 10, then we have Biskits, he is 6 and the last one is Pickles and he is 7. So, don't feel alone with the "funky and oh so cute" names. I love some of the choices you are looking at and can't wait to see pictures of your newest family member.

from the Director:
In January we will begin a
new initiative called Plain Talk. Through Plain Talk, the Department's
letters and documents will be revised to help taxpayers better understand
and use written information.
Plain Talk is clear, straightforward
writing, using only as many words as necessary. It is direct and to
the point. It is language that avoids obscurity, inflated vocabulary
and convoluted sentence construction. Plain Talk lets the readers concentrate
on the message. Plain Talk writers keep the recipient of the letter
in mind at all times.
Studies show that Plain Talk
reduces errors and saves time, effort, and money for both the public
and for the government. We rewrote our entire set of tax collection
letters last year in conjunction with another project, and and it has
been beneficial to taxpayers and the Department.
All letters will be subject
to Plain Talk revision, but greater effort will be expended on high-volume
letters and documents and on those that generate a high volume of calls.
In addition, identity theft
remains a threat to Iowans. The Department will use the Plain Talk
opportunity to remove taxpayers' Social Security Numbers from letters
and documents where appropriate and replace them with a new identifier.
Plain Talk and the new identifier
will be a win for taxpayers and a win for the Department. Please contact
us if you have suggestions; we appreciate your help in making this
project a success.

Change to Iowa Withholding Tables
The Iowa
withholding tax tables will NOT change for 2008. Please continue
to use the current tables, which became effective April 1, 2006.
Withholding Issues
wages and salaries
Employers doing business in
Iowa are required to withhold Iowa individual income tax from the wages
and salaries of nonresident employees working in Iowa at the same rate
as for residents.
Exception: See Iowa-Illinois
reciprocal agreement below.
Other nonresident income
The payer or withholding agent
may withhold on a one-time basis. The payer should complete a paper Iowa
Business Tax Registration form (78-005) stating this to be a one-time
report. The withholding payment may be sent in with the completed application
to the address on the application form.
The following additional types
of income to nonresidents are subject to Iowa withholding:
Under provisions of federal
law, Iowa tax should not be withheld from nonresidents working in Iowa
as employees of railroads and trucking firms in interstate commerce
if they are working in at least one other state. Withholding may be
required for the employee's state of residence or the nonresident employee
may be required to make estimated payments to their state of residence.
Iowa residents
working in other states
In the same way nonresidents
of Iowa may be subject to Iowa income tax withholding when that income
is earned in Iowa, others states may require their tax to be withheld
from Iowa residents working there. The requirements may differ from
one state to another, so an inquiry may need to be made of that state(s)
if an Iowa resident is working in a state other than Iowa .
Iowa-Illinois reciprocal
Iowa and Illinois have a reciprocal
agreement for individual income tax purposes. At this time, Iowa does
not have an income tax reciprocal agreement with any other state.
Any wages or salary made by
an Iowa resident working in Illinois is taxable only to Iowa and not
to Illinois . Any wages or salary made by an Illinois resident working
in Iowa is taxable only to Illinois and not to Iowa .
An Iowa resident working for
wages or salary in Illinois should complete and file Illinois
form IL-W-5-NR Employee's Statement of Nonresidence in Illinois with
the employer so that the employer will be aware it is appropriate to
withhold Iowa income tax. The Iowa resident should also complete an
Iowa W-4.
An Illinois resident working
for wages or salary in Iowa should complete and file the IA
44-016 (pdf) Employee's Statement of Nonresidence in Iowa with
the employer so that the employer will be aware it is appropriate to
withhold Illinois income tax.
Iowa will tax any Iowa-source
income received by an Illinois resident that is not from wages or salaries.
Illinois will tax any Illinois-source income received by an Iowa resident
that is not from wages or salaries. Examples of income that are not
wages and salaries and, therefore, not covered under the Iowa-Illinois
Reciprocal Agreement are Iowa gambling winnings and unemployment compensation
for employment in Iowa.
Option Sales Taxes - New Jurisdictions
On January 1, 2008, businesses
in new local option
jurisdictions and businesses delivering into these jurisdictions
will begin collecting "regular" local option sales tax on
their taxable sales.
Tax on Delivery Charges & Fuel Surcharges
Transportation and delivery
charges are exempt from sales tax, as long as they are:
Delivery charges means the
amount(s) charged by a seller for preparation and delivery of personal
property to a location designated by the purchaser. This includes,
but is not limited to, charges for transportation, shipping, postage,
handling, crating, and packing.
Fuel surcharges billed
to customers must meet these same requirements to be exempt.
Fuel surcharges related to
the cost of transportation are typically based in some way on the distance
traveled. This might include a specific "per mile" charge
or perhaps differing surcharge amounts based upon certain "ranges" of
miles traveled. Fuel surcharges assessed in this manner are exempt
from sales tax assuming they also meet the requirements of being separately
stated and reasonable in amount.
A fuel surcharge that is imposed
as a "flat fee" (the same amount charged to all customers
without regard to the distance traveled) or calculated as a percentage
of the cost of the good to which it applies is not considered part
of exempt transportation or delivery charges, and is taxable.
Snow removal is not subject
to Iowa sales tax.
Tax Issues Related
to Erosion Control
Erosion control work may
include a number of services that are subject to Iowa sales tax, such
as landscaping, excavating and grading. Often a developer will call
an erosion control company to come in and do erosion control in preparation
of building. At times, building will commence immediately other times
construction will be months away.
Services performed on or in
connection with new construction are exempt from tax; whereas, taxable
services performed in other circumstances are not exempt. The determination
as to when erosion control services may be treated as occurring on
or in connection with new construction is dependent upon the facts
of each situation.
As a general rule, labor performed
as part of erosion control, either during or immediately prior
to or after construction, is considered performed on or in connection
with that new construction. Erosion control work done at a time interval
more distant from the actual construction either prior or subsequent is
typically not treated as performed on or in connection with that construction,
and tax should be collected from the developer/landowner on any taxable
services provided.
Materials used in erosion
control can include drainage pipe/tile/intakes, silt fence/posts, ground
covering fabric, seed, mulch and sod. These materials are normally
subject to Iowa sales/use tax. Whether they are taxable to the erosion
control company or to the developer/landowner is again dependent upon
the facts of the case.
The seed, mulch and sod are
considered landscaping materials, and as such are purchased tax free
for resale by the erosion control company. Tax is then collected from
the developer/landowner on these items, whether used in connection
with new construction or not. However, it is important to itemize the
taxable landscaping materials separately from exempt labor being performed
in connection with a construction contract. If labor and landscaping
materials are not separately itemized, tax must be collected from the
developer/landowner on the entire bill.
The other materials mentioned
are taxable to the erosion control company if they become permanently
affixed to real property. In that case, they are considered to be building
materials taxable to the installer. Other materials that will later
be removed are taxable to the developer/landowner as the sale of tangible
personal property and tax should be collected from the developer/landowner
on those items, whether or not transferred to them in connection with
new construction.
The distinctions between these
various situations can be difficult to determine and, as previously
mentioned, are based upon the facts of each case. If you have questions,
please contact the Department.
Option Taxes
Impact of Nexus, Delivery, and Sales Tax vs. Use Tax
Nexus is
a term that simply means the seller has sufficient activity in Iowa
to be responsible for the collection of Iowa tax on sales of tangible
personal property and taxable services for use in Iowa . Nexus itself
does not determine the applicability of local option taxes.
Delivery is the key
to determine if a transaction is subject to local option taxes. If
delivery occurs within a local option jurisdiction, the local option
sales tax may be due. If delivery does not occur in a local option
jurisdiction, local option tax is not due.
Delivery usually occurs where
the seller transfers physical possession of the property to the buyer.
In most instances, this transfer takes place at the seller's place
of business. If the seller transfers the property to the buyer from
the seller's own vehicle, then delivery is considered to take place
at the place of transfer. Finally, if the seller transfers the property
to a common carrier or the U.S. Postal Service for subsequent transport
to the buyer, the delivery of the property occurs at the customer's
The use of FOB (free on board),
FAS (free along side), or a similar term when goods are shipped by
common carrier, does not affect where delivery occurs, but an FOB
or FAS designation will determine whether it is a sales tax or a use
tax, and whether local option applies.
Sales Tax vs. Use Tax is
another important distinction in determining whether local option taxes
are imposed.
Local option taxes are sales
taxes; therefore, in order for local option taxes to apply, the transaction
must be subject to Sales Tax.
There are no local option
use taxes; therefore, local option taxes are not imposed on Use
Tax transactions.
Local option taxes are sales
taxes; therefore, in order for local option taxes to apply, the transaction
must be subject to Sales Tax.
There are no local option
use taxes; therefore, local option taxes are not imposed on Use
Tax transactions.
The following helps to determine
if a transaction is subject to Sales or Use Tax:
A. Intrastate
(in State buyer and seller) Sales Tax
B. Interstate (in State buyer out
of State seller) see below
If Interstate then consider
delivery mode:
1. Vendor's
Vehicle Sales Tax
2. Common
Carrier see below
If Common Carrier then
1. With no
FOB or FAS Use Tax
2. With
FOB or FAS see below
If with FOB or FAS,
then consider:
1. Origination Use
2. Destination Sales
If Interstate then consider
delivery mode:
1. Vendor's
Vehicle Sales Tax
2. Common
Carrier see below
If Common Carrier then

FOB or FAS Use Tax

If with FOB or FAS,
then consider:

Vehicle Sales Tax
2. Common
Carrier see below
If Common Carrier then
1. With no
FOB or FAS Use Tax
2. With
FOB or FAS see below
If with FOB or FAS,
then consider:
1. Origination Use
2. Destination Sales
If Common Carrier then
1. With no
FOB or FAS Use Tax
2. With
FOB or FAS see below
If with FOB or FAS,
then consider:
1. Origination Use
2. Destination Sales
If with FOB or FAS,
then consider:
1. Origination Use
2. Destination Sales
The Department recognizes
these concepts can be difficult to interpret. We encourage those with
questions to contact us for further guidance.

Arizona Cardinals
Lyle Sendlein - #63 - C
|6' 3"/ 308 lbs.
|Edina, MN

Cards' outlook for Faneca, Sendlein hardly grim
Arizona's offensive line has changed a great deal, but O-line coach Russ Grimm is up for the challenge, especially with new OLG Alan Faneca and old C Lyle Sendlein in the mix.
Top 20 key players in NFC West
Dan Arkush identifies the top five players on each NFC West team who figure to play crucial roles, including Rams rookie QB Sam Bradford.
NFC West training-camp reports
In the final installment of our training-camp reports, we look at NFC West teams, including the Seahawks, who'll use Aaron Curry as a stand-up end.
Coryell's quarterbacks
The late Don Coryell managed to quickly turn a pair of quarterbacks who'd been struggling like hell into All-Pros aerialists — Jim Hart in St. Louis, Dan Fouts in San Diego.
Cardinals' new WR trio packs fantasy punch
You will be committing a cardinal sin if you don't at least consider Larry Fitzgerald, Early Doucet and Steve Breaston as legitimate fantasy options.
Willis tops among NFC West IDPs
While the NFC West arguably remains the league's weakest division, it is strong in terms of individual fantasy defenders, led by IDP superheavyweight Patrick Willis.
Cardinals sign rookie CB Calvin
The Cardinals have announced the signing of sixth-round CB Jorrick Calvin to a four-year contract. Terms were not disclosed for the second member of Arizona's draft class to agree to contract terms.
Cardinals sign rookie TE Dray
The Cardinals got the ball rolling on the rookie contract front Thursday with the signing of seventh-round TE Jim Dray to a four-year contract.
Hightower could be Cardinals' third-down back
Even though he's listed first on the depth chart as the starting RB ahead of Chris "Beanie" Wells, we hear Tim Hightower could be the top candidate for the Cardinals' third-down-RB role.

Cardinals embracing change on offense
With new starting QB Matt Leinart and free-agent pickup OG Alan Faneca, the Cardinals' offense is heading into a transitional year.
Crowd gathering at cornerback for Cardinals
It would appear the Cardinals are in no great rush to anoint a starting right cornerback opposite Pro Bowler Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie for the coming season.
Cardinals make changes to scouting department
Kyle Johnson has joined the Cardinals as a college scout, and several other changes in the personnel department were announced by the team Monday.
Schedule must be weighed in predicting outcomes
Don't tell me the schedule doesn't matter in the NFL. Here's a look at teams that will benefit the most and be hindered the most by whom they play this season.
The Arizona Cardinals, reeling from a seven-game losing streak, have lost sSendlein for the season with a torn left MCL.||||||| Sendlein sustained the injury during Sunday's loss to St. Louis, limping off the field in first quarter but returning a short time later to finish the game. He has started 80 consecutive games since taking the job as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2009. It is the second loss of a starting lineman for the Cardinals this season. Left tackle Levi Brown went down with a triceps injury in the preseason.
Sendlein is among five players who have re-signed with the Arizona Cardinals.||||||| Sendlein, an undrafted free agent out of Texas in 2007, has started every game for Arizona the last two seasons.
Sendlein, an undrafted rookie who grew up in nearby Scottsdale, will start at center against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, replacing the injured Al Johnson.||||||| Sendlein had 26 consecutive starts for Texas, and played in 49 games for the Longhorns.

Chasing Down the Pour
August 25–September 5, 2014
Reception: Thursday, September 4, 5:00-6:00 p.m.
Curated by Miriam Grotte
Washington, D.C.—Gallery 102 at the George Washington University is pleased to open its fall 2014 exhibition series with Chasing Down the Pour, curated by Miriam Grotte. This group exhibition examines the act of pouring as an artistic gesture. Pouring is entropic—the artist sets in motion a creative process marked by varying degrees of disorder. To pour is to relinquish control and invite the possibility of accidental and contingent occurrences. This show explores pouring in contemporary art as an open-ended process, producing artwork in which control and chaos, accuracy and error, and restraint and freedom can coexist.
The Washington-area artists included in this exhibition apply a shared practice of pouring to a variety of media—including paint, bronze, ink, milk, and honey—to a wide range of visual effects. Artists in the exhibition include Saya Behnam; Rosetta DeBerardinis; Jesse Gillespie; Andrew Kim; Ryan McDonnell; Emily Mihalik; Lincoln Mudd; Emilia Pennanen; Samantha Sethi; Mai Stoebe; Shabnam Shamloo; Marta Staudinger; and Laurie Tylec.
Join us for a public reception on Thursday, September 4, from 5:00–6:00 p.m.
