The following quotes are from NFL scouts, coaches and front-office personnel, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
• "What people don't realize is that Peyton Manning may go down in history as the best to ever play the game. When you talk about the top 100 players to ever play the game, don't give me Joe Montana. Look at what he had around him — Roger Craig, Tom Rathman, Jerry Rice, John Taylor, Brent Jones, (Steve) Wallace the left tackle, the center (Jesse) Sapolu. The guy had a Hall of Fame head coach. No one is more feared than Peyton Manning. The guy calls his own plays. To me, he's the best that ever played the game."
• "Chicago is a lot better than people think. They have confidence, they have momentum, they are healthy. They had three extra days to prepare for the Eagles coming off the Thursday-night game. They shifted the offense after the bye week. They are max-protecting more. What Mike Martz was doing wasn't working so they went back to 'Lovie Ball.' They are running it more, and not putting as much on the quarterback, and he's finally starting to play within himself."
• "Too much was made over the (Broncos') filming. Why would they be filming that when they have nine or 10 games they could look at? It baffles me. … It was not the first time, and I don't think it will be the last — anything for a competitive advantage. But after what happened in New England, you would think a lesson would have been learned. I don't think the (video director) will be allowed to work in the NFL anymore. You are screwing with the integrity of the game — those are some pretty serious charges."
• "If you want to talk about textbook technique and understanding angles, take a look at (Jets ORT) Damien Woody play. He's such a great technician."
• "Could things get any worse than they are in Carolina right now? They have hit rock bottom. There are a few places where you just know it's a matter of time — Carolina, Cincinnati, San Francisco."
• "I was the first to criticize (Buffalo GM) Buddy Nix. It's still shocking to me that he is the GM of an NFL team. It blows my mind. … But I do think they got a very good coach and it's moving in the right direction."
• "There are not as many teams that need quarterbacks as there typically have been. Just start in the NFC. The East is covered. Maybe Washington could use a young one. The Vikings need to figure out a plan for the future. Carolina has one — they just need a coach. The biggest need is in the West. The Rams have (Sam) Bradford and (Matt) Hasselbeck is good when he is healthy, but the reason that division has been so bad is because of the QB play."
• "If you go back and look at where things stood just two weeks ago and look at where they are now, you'd be shocked how much things have changed. It's not easy to get wins in this league. You can't look beyond the next week or you're dead in the water. There are no gimmes anymore. Home-field advantage is so big in this league. Home field and health — those are the two big factors you've got to look at every week."
• "I don't know that Jon Gruden fits in Carolina, but the guy coached his (butt) off in Tampa Bay, and he will work at it. He may have too much ego to fit in Carolina. I could see him drop down to college because there are not enough jobs in the NFL right now. Minnesota and Dallas are the two teams with the most talent, and if they stick with the interims, there are not a lot of attractive options out there."
• "(Colts TE Jacob) Tamme is playing well. (WR Blair) White is playing well. Indy is always beat up, but the one thing they do really well — they know how to re-load."
• "Seattle — I don't know what they are doing. I can't figure it out. You never know what team is going to show up every week. The same with Jacksonville and Houston."

Things I liked:Accuracy and hitting power ...
Things I would have changed:Don't mess with a good product!
What others should know:These things have been my regular pellet for my Beeman RS2 with the .177 cal. barrel for quite a while now. I think I have killed more squirrels with this combination than any other gun I have ever used, including firearms. A few monthe ago I replaced the Beeman scope with a Bushnell 4x30 (same as I put on my Benjamin Titan). I haven't missed a shot since. If you have a Beeman and want to use the .177 cal barrel, these are the pellets to use. And only one place to get them ... PYRAMYD!!!
Things I liked:Great Ammo!!
Things I would have changed:Not a thing
What others should know:Nope!!
Things I liked:These shoot quite well from my Generation 1 Benjamin Marauder (.177). Of all the pellets I have tried, these produce the tightest groups. Dime sized at 20 yards off an unstable rest. Quarter sized at 40 yards from the same rest. Could probably do a bit better from a stable rest with sandbags. Still, I was surprised to see these outperform JSB Exact Heavies from my gun.
Things I would have changed:Would love to see a 500 count container with a screw on lid.
What others should know:Very similar pellet to the H&N Baracuda Match and made by the same manufacturer (H&N). Breaking down the price of a 300 count tin comes to 3.5 cents per shot. Multiply that by 500, and the price is almost the same for the Baracudas. I was hoping they would be similar enough to shoot well from my gun, but they did not. Gonna buy a bunch of tins of these.

"Which of you, intending to build a tower, does not first sit down and estimate the cost, to see whether he has enough to complete it?" (Luke 14:27)
I love this scripture passage. Here, Jesus endorses the virtues of accounting. I was an accountant before going to seminary. So it has always tickled me that Jesus told a story that praised counting the costs of a project – a good accounting concept. But here Jesus isn't really talking about dollars and cents. He's talking about the cost of following him as Lord. He's talking about the price of discipleship.
But you may be thinking, "What cost?" You may be thinking that so far in life being a Christian has been easy. Perhaps you were baptized as a baby or a child. Perhaps you went to Sunday school as a child and then to church as an adult. What's so difficult about that?
But Jesus tells us that the demands of true discipleship are costly. Truly following Jesus as our Lord and Savior can be difficult and requires sacrifice. Several years ago, the Episcopal Church in upper South Carolina had a bishop named Dorsey Henderson. During the sacrament of Confirmation, Bishop Henderson used an ancient custom of the Church: He would give the person he confirmed a light slap to the cheek. This action was meant to remind us that following Jesus not only brings joy but also brings a responsibility that can include rejection and sacrifice.
Jesus calls his disciples to be ready to choose obedience to him over family. He calls his disciples to devote their entire lives to him, including all their possessions. He even calls his followers to be prepared to follow his example – to sacrifice their very lives – for the sake of remaining true to God. This is the cost of discipleship.
Throughout Christian history, followers of Jesus have paid the ultimate price for their faith. St. Paul, the writer of many of the letters in the New Testament, was ultimately executed by the Roman government because he proclaimed Jesus as Lord. Many have given their lives for their faith since then. Even today, there are faithful Christians who give their lives for their faith. In 2007 three Christians were murdered in Turkey. All three were employees of a Christian publishing company. One was a German missionary. The other two were Turkish converts to Christianity. They were murdered by fanatics who thought that they were serving their religion.
These three men died for their faith in Jesus. They paid the ultimate price.
Most likely, you and I will not have to pay such a high price for our faith. But we will be called to pay a price. As disciples of Jesus, we are all called to give up our own way of life in exchange for Jesus' way of life. It may mean sharing our possessions with those who are in needs. It may mean being rejected by those who don't share our values. It may mean seeking forgiveness rather than revenge. How are you called to sacrifice so that others will know the love of God through your life?
Sometimes this call seems difficult, if not impossible. We wonder if we can bear the cost. But we do not do it alone. When we trust in the Lord – rather than ourselves, or others, or our things – when we trust in the Lord alone, then we will be empowered to follow Jesus. We will be able to live the life he calls us to live. We will be able to serve as his witnesses to the world – no matter the cost.

WINDHAM, N.H. — A snow bank and a 64-year-old woman with a broom were too much for two burglary suspects.
The incident occurred Thursday when a woman saw two strangers inside a neighbor's home.
She told police she entered the nearby residence to see what the men were doing.
The woman said she discovered they had broken through two locked doors.
When they heard her, they attempted to flee and she confronted one of the men in the driveway with the broom. He tossed her aside and jumped in a car. But the escape failed when the suspect backed into a snow bank, Chief Gerald Lewis said.
"During his attempt to free the vehicle, the neighbor ran home and called police," Lewis said.
Ultimately both men were arrested.
Details for this story were provided by The Eagle-Tribune in North Andover, Mass.

For the second time in a week, Tucson Police are investigating a shooting at Ten's Showclub on East Speedway near North Rosemont.
The latest shooting happened just after 2:00 a.m. Sunday.
Tucson Police Sergeant Maria Hawke tells Tucson News Now, a 32-year-old man suffered life-threatening injuries in the shooting, which followed an argument between two groups in the parking lot.
Officers stopped an SUV that was seen leaving the scene. One man was detained, with the assistance of a TPD K-9, after the man ran from officers near East Rosewood and North Magnolia.
Last weekend, a man was shot and killed in the club's parking lot. Three other people were injured in that shooting.
Detectives believe Sunday's shooting may be gang-related.
Police are now asking anyone with information to call 9-1-1 or 88-Crime.

Police in Cleveland said two people were shot during a dispute over a parking spot outside a local barber shop.
When police got to the scene, they found two men injured. Both were taken to MetroHealth Medical Center, where they are being treated for their injuries.
Police say a female, that was later arrested, was involved in an argument with one of the victims. She apparently wanted him to move his parked car.
During the argument the female called her husband and he came to the scene, along with three other men. While there, the victim and the female's husband began to argue. During the argument the female's husband and the three other men pulled out handguns and shot the victim multiple times.
After shooting the victim and his friends fled the scene and while fleeing they fired additional shots hitting a second victim who was inside the Epic Barbershop located at 11204 Lorain. That victim was not involved in the incident.
The woman arrested was taken to jail, where she is awaiting charges.
Police are searching for the four men involved.

Its that time of the year again to make sure were safe for the winter.
1. Make sure your smoke and Co detectors are working and have new batteries in them. Make sure you have enough of them around the house.
2. Clean you clothes dryer pipe/vent. Disassemble it and i vacumne it out or replace it. Make sure all the clamps are tight so it can't leak.
3. Its almost woodstove burning time again. Time to clean the woodstove chimney....
Take a flashlite and shine it on the inside of the mating end of the pipes were they go together. Then look on the outside or have someone watch the outside for the light to shine. You may have leaks where the pipe split joints are were the go together. Using a light will show leaks you can't see with the naked eye. A little furnance cement or pipe replacement maybe neccessary. When furnance cement is used i use a putty knife and push the furnance cement into the joint and then put a coat of furnance cement across the two mating parts so its sealed double. Don't forget to recheck it.
If your woodstove is in the basement make sure all the flammables are away from the stove. Things do get moved around during the summer.
4. Have you negelcted your oil burner furnance and chimney too?
Have you had the oil burner tuned and cleaned lately?
Have you cleaned the clean-out recently?
Have a safe burning / heating season. We can never be too safe. Enjoy the comming holidays too. Bigbill

by Spokane Chiefs Media Relations
Despite Garret Hughson's 35 saves in net, the Spokane Chiefs were shutout for just the second time this season as the Portland Winterhawks blanked Spokane 5-0 Sunday in Portland, OR. Spokane has dropped 6 straight against the Winterhawks and are now 7 points back of Portland for first place in the U.S. Division.
Hughson turned aside 17 of 18 Portland shots in the first period as he kept Spokane in the game. Portland broke through in the final minute of the period at 19:19 when Brendan Leipsic scored on a rebound to give the Hawks a 1-0 lead after one. In the second, Portland would score 3 times to take a 4-0 lead after two. Chase DeLeo at 7:16 made it 2-0. Keegan Iverson scored on an odd man rush at 10:49 to extend the lead to 3-0, and Leipsic scored his second of the game on a 4 on 4 at 15:32 to cap the three goal second period.
Portland would cap the scoring on an Oliver Bjorkstrand power play goal at 4:24 of the third period, as the Winterhawks outshot the Chiefs 40-25 in the contest. Spokane was 0-4 on the power play and 2-3 on the penalty kill. Spokane will return home to the Spokane Arena to host the Moose Jaw Warriors Friday night at 7:05pm. Mike Boyle will have the call on 1510 KGA starting with the pre-game show at 6:30pm.

If you flip through my family's photo albums, in nearly every one of my father's boyhood pictures, someone is holding a string of fish.
The holidays are a popular time to stop and thank teachers and all of the wonderful staff at school for all they do.
It's been a long-standing tradition for children to gift some sort of small sweet treat to their classmates during their holiday party for Valentine's Day, but who doesn't like a little something different every now and again?
As the mother of boys, I am fully aware that Valentine's Day can be pure torture for them when they are young.
Every year my kids are supposed to design a special box to collect their Valentines in at school.
Valentine's cards don't always have to be all about hearts, hugs, and kisses!
Since Valentine's day was such a big hit earlier this year with my little toddler girl, I decided to let her help me make a gift for Father's Day. The sheer joy and excitement on her face as she sat to "make a card for Dad" – I...

In Gallup Poll's last election survey, Gov. Mitt Romney is leading by a slim margin at 49 percent to President Barack Obama's 48 percent.
The final survey shows Romney with a 10-percent point lead among men (53 percent to 43 percent). Obama is leading by nearly the same margin among women (52 percent to 44 percent).
"The two are roughly tied among independents -- 46 percent favor Obama and 45 percent Romney. Each candidate has the strong support of his own party, with 96 percent of Republicans backing Romney and 93 percent of Democrats supporting Obama," according to the Gallop survey.
Gallup claims a statistical tie among likely voters which means a "very close battle in the national popular vote." Gallup concludes that a "turnout of partisans could be particularly important in deciding the election, with Romney poised to benefit slightly more if they do, with 96 percent of Republicans backing him, as compared with Obama's 93 percent support from Democrats."
The polls are over - now it's up to the voters and the electoral college to decide who will occupy the White House for the next four years.
Who do you think will win the election?

With free agent Russell Coltrane Martin leaving New York for the big bucks in Pittsburgh -- and if I had a dime for every time I've written those last few words ... -- the Yankees are looking for a regular catcher.
Here's what Brian Cashman said on the subject, just this morning: "It's possible that our catchers are right here on this roster right now. That is very possible, and more likely than not, to be honest."
Those catchers right there on the roster? Here's the exciting list of candidates, via SB Nation New York:
- Austin Romine, 24, has played nine career big-league games. He played only 31 minor-league games last season, hitting .243, after missing most of the season with a back injury. If the season opened today, Romine might be the starter.
- Chris Stewart is a journeyman who played 55 games for the Yankees a season ago. He hit .241 and has a career .217 average. He has never played more than 67 games in a season.
- Francisco Cervelli was the Yankees' backup from 2009-2011. He lost that job to Stewart a season ago and hit .246 at the Triple A level.
- Eli Whiteside is a 33-year-old journeyman the Yankees recently signed. He has a .215 career average over parts of five big-league seasons.
Not a real starting catcher in the bunch.
Oh, but wait! I have an idea! How about a platoon?
Oh. Right. All four of them bat right-handed. So that won't work.
The basic truth here is that none of these guys can hit, at all. Romine might be the leader at the far turn, but he's played in only 30 games above Double-A; there's no evidence that he can hit Triple-A pitching, let alone anything higher than that.
My guess? Cashman gets another catcher, either a regular catcher who can hit or a lefty-hitting catcher who can hit some. But either way, this isn't the end of the world. Russell Martin's OPS+ over the last two seasons was 94, and the Yankees averaged 96 wins. The next catcher probably won't hit quite as well as Martin, and might not field quite as well. But every team has a hole somewhere, and lots of good teams over the years have relied on defense-first catchers.
With all that straight, this is an exceptionally strange turn of events, with the Yankees' insistence on keeping their payroll under $189 million resulting in the loss of a desirable player to the Pittsburgh Pirates. I suppose if I were a Yankees fan, I might find this frustrating and perhaps infuriating. As a baseball fan, though, I couldn't be happier about seeing the Steinbrothers focusing on lining their wallets instead of donning their ring fingers with championship jewelry.

The Cooper Car Company was founded in 1946 by Charles Cooper and his son John Cooper. Together with John's boyhood friend, Eric Brandon, they began by building racing cars in Charles' small garage in Surbiton, Surrey, England in 1946. Through the 1950s and early 1960s, they reached auto racing's highest levels as their rear-engined, single-seat cars altered the face of Formula One and the Indianapolis 500, and their Mini Cooper dominated Rally racing. Thanks in part to Cooper's legacy, Britain remains the home of a thriving racing industry, and the Cooper name lives on in the Cooper versions of the Mini production cars that are still built in England but are now owned and marketed by BMW.
The first cars built by the Coopers were single-seat 500cc Formula Three racing cars driven by John Cooper and Eric Brandon and powered by a JAP motorcycle engine. Since materials were in short supply immediately after World War II, the prototypes were constructed by joining two old Fiat Topolino front-ends together. According to John Cooper, the stroke of genius that would make the Coopers an automotive legend—the location of the engine behind the driver—was merely a practical matter at the time. Because the car was powered by a motorcycle engine, they believed it was more convenient to have the engine in the back, driving a chain.
Called the Cooper 500, this car's success in hillclimbs and on track, including Eric winning the first post war motor race at Gransden Lodge Airfield, quickly created demand from other drivers (including, over the years, Stirling Moss, Peter Collins, Jim Russell, Ivor Bueb, Ken Tyrrell and Bernie Ecclestone) and led to the establishment of the Cooper Car Company to build more. The business grew by providing an inexpensive entry to motorsport for seemingly every aspiring young British driver, and the company became the world's first and largest post-war, specialist manufacturer of racing cars for sale to privateers.
Cooper built over 300 F3 cars and dominated the category, winning 64 out of 78 major races between 1951 and 1954. This volume of construction was unique and enabled the company to grow into the senior categories; it was with a modified Cooper 500 chassis, a T12 model, that Cooper had its first taste of top-tier racing when Harry Schell qualified for the 1950 Monaco Grand Prix. Though Schell retired in the first lap, this marked the first appearance of a rear-engined racer at a Grand Prix event since the end of WWII.
The front-engined Formula Two Cooper Bristol model was introduced in 1952. Various iterations of this design were driven by a number of legendary drivers – among them Juan Manuel Fangio and Mike Hawthorn – and furthered the company's growing reputation by appearing in Grand Prix races, which at the time were run to F2 regulations. It wasn't until the company began building rear-engined sports cars in 1955 that they really became aware of the benefits of having the engine behind the driver. Based on the 500cc cars and powered by a modified Coventry Climax fire-pump engine, these cars were called "Bobtails." With the center of gravity closer to the middle of the car, they found it was less liable to spins and much more effective at putting the power down to the road, so they decided to build a single-seater version and began entering it in Formula 2 races.
Rear-engined revolution[edit]
Jack Brabham raised some eyebrows when he took sixth place at the 1957 Monaco Grand Prix in a rear-engined Formula 1 Cooper. When Stirling Moss won the 1958 Argentine Grand Prix in Rob Walker's privately entered Cooper and Maurice Trintignant duplicated the feat in the next race at Monaco, the racing world was stunned and a rear-engined revolution had begun. The next year, 1959, Brabham and the Cooper works team became the first to win the Formula One World Championship in a rear-engined car. Both team and driver repeated the feat in 1960, and every World Champion since has been sitting in front of his engine.
The little known designer behind the car was Owen Maddock, who was employed by Cooper Car Company.[1] Maddock was known as 'The Beard' by his workmates, and 'Whiskers' to Charles Cooper. Maddock was a familiar figure in the drivers' paddock of the 1950s in open-neck shirt and woolly jumper and a prime force behind the rise of British racing cars to their dominant position in the 1960s. Describing how the revolutionary rear-engined Cooper chassis came to be, Maddock explained "I'd done various schemes for the new car which I'd shown to Charlie Cooper, He kept saying 'Nah, Whiskers, that's not it, try again.' Finally, I got so fed up I sketched a frame in which every tube was bent, meant just as a joke. I showed it to Charlie and to my astonishment he grabbed it and said: 'That's it!' " Maddock later pioneered one of the first designs for a honeycomb monocoque stressed skin composite chassis, and helped develop Cooper's C5S racing gearbox.
Brabham took one of the Championship-winning Cooper T53 "Lowline" to Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a test in 1960, then entered the famous 500-mile race in a larger, longer and offset car based on the 1960 F1 design, the unique Type T54. Arriving at the Speedway 5 May 1961, the "funny" little car from Europe was mocked by the other teams, but it ran as high as third and finished ninth. It took a few years, but the Indianapolis establishment gradually realized the writing was on the wall and the days of their front-engined roadsters were numbered. Beginning with Jim Clark, who drove a rear-engined Lotus in 1965, every winner of the Indianapolis 500 has had the engine in the back. The revolution begun by the little chain-driven Cooper 500 was complete.
Once every Formula car manufacturer began building rear-engined racers, the practicality and intelligent construction of Cooper's single-seaters was overtaken by more sophisticated technology from Lola, Lotus, BRM and Ferrari. The Cooper team's decline was accelerated when John Cooper was seriously injured in a road accident in 1963 driving a twin-engined Mini and Charles Cooper died in 1964.
In 1965 the company moved from Surbiton to a modern factory unit at Canada Road, Oyster Lane in Byfleet, just along the road from Brabham in New Haw and close to Alan Mann Racing who built the film car Chitty Chitty Bang Bang during this period. While in Byfleet, customer F1 type T81B cars were built for Guy Ligier and others. The Cooper F1 car was using the Maserati V12 engine and Ron Dennis was a member of the F1 team. Jochen Rindt, Jacky Ickx, Pedro Rodríguez, Brian Redman and Richard Attwood drove this car with limited success in 1967. Martin Brain purchased one of these cars and another older F1 car and ran the older car in four rounds of the British Hill Climb championship in 1968 fitted with a V8 Chrysler 7.2 litre cast iron engine. Martin was killed in the Cooper Maserati at Silverstone. Now that the Cooper Car Company was owned by the Chipstead Motor Group, Roy Salvadori often made visits to the factory since he was a director of Chipstead. 1969 was the beginning of the end for the Cooper Car Company and there were many redundancies. Frank Boyles was the last to leave since he was in charge of building customer cars and it had been hoped that some more F2 cars would be sold. Frank went on to design and build a Formula Ford car called the Oscar and also a series of Oval Circuit cars known as Fireballs. Driving the rear engine version of this car, Frank won more than 200 races during a period up until 1975 in a car he had designed and raced himself. This record is believed to have never been beaten.
After the death of his father, John Cooper sold the Cooper Formula One team to the Chipstead Motor Group in April 1965. Their final Formula One victory was achieved by Mexican driver Pedro Rodríguez at the 1967 South African Grand Prix in a Cooper T81. In all, Coopers participated in 129 Formula One World Championship events in nine years, winning 16 races.
Besides Formula One cars, Cooper offered a series of Formula Junior cars. These were the T52, T56, T59 and T67 models. Ken Tyrrell ran a very successful team with John Love and Tony Maggs as his drivers. Following the demise of Formula Junior, Ken Tyrrell tested Jackie Stewart in a Formula Three car, a Cooper T72. This test at the Goodwood Circuit marked the start of partnership which dominated motorsport later on.
In October 2009, Mike Cooper, the son of John Cooper launched Cooper Bikes, the bicycle division of the Cooper Car Company.
Formula One results[edit]
Mini Legacy[edit]
As the company's fortunes in Formula One declined, however, the John Cooper-conceived Mini Cooper – introduced in 1961 as a development of the Alec Issigonis-designed British Motor Corporation Mini with a more powerful engine, new brakes and a distinctive livery – continued to dominate in Saloon car and rally races throughout the 1960s, winning many championships and the 1964, 1965 and 1967 Monte Carlo Rallies.
Several different Cooper-marked versions of the Mini and various Cooper conversion kits have been, and continue to be, marketed by various companies. The current BMW MINI, in production since 2001, has Cooper and Cooper S models and a number of John Cooper Works tuner packages.
Coopers Garage[edit]
On 1 April 1968, John Cooper leased the building, 243 Ewell Road,[2] to the Metropolitan Police and the local Traffic Division (V Victor) moved in. They would stay there for the next twenty-five years and 'TDV' would become one of the busier police garages. In August 1968, they were supplied with the two Mini Coopers index numbers PYT767F and PYT768F. The centre boss of the steering wheel was replaced by a speaker and microphone and a PTT transmitter switch, was added to the steering column. The sight of a six-foot bobby getting into the mini greatly amused the locals. The vehicles were trialled for a number of months, but no orders were placed for other garages.

Missing the Tax Deadline Isn't the End of the World
April 12, 2013 | Posted By: Bryan Marsden | Categorized in: Tax Advice & Tips
The deadline for filing your taxes is right around the corner. If you are like me, and have already done your taxes, then there isnt much to worry about. But what happens if you miss the tax deadline? Here are important steps that you need to take, and some implications if you dont take those steps.
What happens if I miss the tax deadline?Missing the tax deadline isnt the end of the world. Contrary to public belief the IRS isnt waiting to bust down your door and throw you in cuffs the minute the deadline passes. They understand that life happens, and you may not be able to file on time. With that said, they dont take kindly to people just ignoring their tax obligations. If you do miss the tax deadline, there are steps you can take to show good faith.
First, file for a tax deadline extension before April 15th (or as soon as possible.) When you do this, it allows you to push back your filing deadline to Oct. 15th, so you can get your taxes in order and get square with the IRS. There are a couple of different ways to for file an extension.
Second, even though you've filled out the form and filed for an extension, you are still obligated to pay any taxes owed by April 15th. Failing to send in the taxes that you owe can cause you to incur penalties and fines. To avoid this, use the estimated taxes from your extension form and get those funds to the IRS as soon as possible. They make it pretty easy by letting you pay via a debit or credit card. Once you do these two things, the IRS is happy to give you an extra 6 months to figure out your taxes.
What happens if I don't file an extension and ignore my filing my taxes?Let me just start are by saying that no one avoids the tax man. Not even Al Capone or Wesley Snipes (who just got out of jail for tax evasion). This is when the ugly side of the IRS comes out, and it's not something you want to experience. They'll give you a beat down with a mix of penalties, incurred interest, and even jail time! What penalties and interest you ask?
This is the tax man that you don't want to tangle with. Do yourself a favor, and take steps above to file an extension. This way they know you are going to file and pay, but it will miss the deadline.
What happens if I can't pay my taxes?If you are honest with the IRS, they are actually not bad to deal with. You still need to file your taxes, and ask for an extension. This will let them know you are having issues and that you are trying to resolve the issue. There are a couple of things that can happen from here.
So what have we learned today? Well, the tax man isn't the faceless evil entity that is waiting to eat your soul for filing your taxes late. He is willing to work with you and make sure you have as many options as possible to fulfill your tax obligations. However; if you thumb your nose at him, he is not opposed to taking your toys and making you cry. :)

You've mentioned the cases where a taxpayer owes income tax but not the case where over the year the taxpayer has overpaid and is due a refund or is not required to pay taxes.
April 12, 2013 | Posted By: MarsdenFubar
Good point ViveLeRoi! If the IRS owes you money, there is no penalty for filing your taxes late. The penalties are based on taxes that you owe them, so if they actually owe you, then no penalties are incurred. However, you still want to file in a timely manner, as there is a time limit of three years to claim that years refund. If you miss that window it's forfeited.
April 12, 2013 | Posted By: ViveLeRoi
I was just curious if you could be charged with simply filing late. The article references a particular statuate and it appears that once could potentially be charged simply for not filing a return! Some years ago I filed almost a year late but had made the call to the IRS and state board of taxation and both said essentially what you did.
December 30, 2013 | Posted By: Jensenmott
Thank you so much for sharing this. I am a brand new college student, so I am learning all I can about taxes and the IRS. It's interesting how our culture teaches us that the IRS is bad and that they want your money. You put a different perspective on it for me.

Learning and Teaching
A diverse range of learning and teaching methods will be used throughout your chosen Programme, and will reflect the module content and your developing knowledge and expertise. All modules will have a formalised teaching and learning structure which will employ, for example, formal lectures, seminars, workshops, skills laboratories and case scenarios, as and when appropriate. The modular structure also includes and embraces the teaching and learning opportunities available in the clinical environment which include lectures, seminars, and the acquisition of knowledge and skills through the practical experience in which you engage.
The School acknowledges that you and your colleagues will commence with different levels of knowledge, understanding, skills and experiences; it also recognises that such a situation can, and will, enrich the learning and teaching provision. The use of discussions, debates and group work activities, therefore, will enable and encourage you to learn from your peers, recognising and valuing the rich contribution that each member of the cohort brings with them.
Core Themes
In seeking to assist your development from novice to professional practitioner, capable of independent thought and action, your chosen Programme provides you with a coherent framework. The appropriate knowledge, skills, understanding and professional attributes and competences for your chosen field are framed within the core themes of professional awareness, provision of individualised patient care and multidisciplinary team working. You will apply your knowledge and understanding in the clinical context in the provision of individualised patient care. During this provision you will develop professional awareness within your role and an understanding of group dynamics within the care team.
Transferable Skills
Transferable skills are an essential component of your learning during your time at the School, which provides you with the opportunity to develop, or continue to enhance, lifelong learning skills and provide the basis for continuing personal and professional development. One example is that of the communication of ideas and team work, which are an integral part of practice and therefore seen in all modules.
You will also have the opportunity to attend University-approved courses provided by the Careers Service, and by the Students' Union, which focus on transferable skills. Clinical Educators, Mentors and Personal Tutors will provide you with appropriate support, as well as confirm that you have engaged in the Personal Development Planning process.
Learning and Teaching Methods
A wide and diverse range of learning and teaching methods will be used throughout your chosen Programme to reflect the module content and your developing skills. To assist you in the early development of the ability to recognise, manage and direct your own learning, study skills and reflection skills will be introduced at the beginning of your study and re-visited throughout.
Students in Tŷ Dewi Sant
The learning and teaching provided in the University and based in Tŷ Dewi Sant in Cardiff incorporates the most relevant techniques and includes locally available subject experts. Facilities at Tŷ Dewi Sant provide opportunity for formal theory, practical teaching and smaller rooms for group tutorials and group teaching. The library and computer facilities allow for self-directed and directed learning, as well as computer-based learning. Other nearby specialist facilities may be used as part of your chosen programme, for example, facilities such as The Welsh Institute of Minimal Access Therapy or the Anatomy Laboratory in the School of Biosciences which provides opportunity for anatomical demonstrations.
Students on Clinical Practice Placement
You will be learning throughout the years of your chosen Programme, utilising each learning opportunity as it arises. Having a well managed learning environment is, therefore, of critical importance for the success of your studies. Full details of the provision of clinical placement learning can be found in your Clinical Placement Handbook.
Student-directed and Group Work Learning
As you develop study skills and a critical approach to learning, so you will begin to take increasing responsibility for your own learning and development. To assist these processes you will be guided to study during your own time as well as during clinical practice placements. As you progress through your studies, you will, equipped with knowledge of the module requirements and the relevant bibliography, be able to organise and manage your own learning.
In acknowledgement of the diversity and culture that you and your colleagues bring, peer learning through group working is used as appropriate. Whole group and small group learning will be used, with feedback and presentations opportunities when relevant. Group learning with peers and with an academic tutor is also an integral part of the learning and teaching strategy.
Internet and Blackboard
You will be given tutorials and teaching from the School's IT Lecturer on the use of the Internet for study purposes. You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with the tools necessary for activities such as Library catalogue and database searching, ethical and sensible scholarly Internet searching and sources and appropriate software packages for academic work. Use, remote access and benefits of Blackboard are also taught to you to provide structure to your personal study time by the provision of a gateway to appropriate resources.
Directed Study
Not all your learning can be provided through direct contact with University lecturers, nor is it in your best interest for such 'spoon feeding' of knowledge. You will develop your knowledge and understanding in a variety of ways, as demonstrated by the diverse teaching techniques and challenging clinical placement opportunities. One method used to reinforce learning, or to provide a context for the theory whilst on placement, is that of directed learning. You will be encouraged during module learning to engage in certain clinical activities, or to study a specific area in need of development, that will move learning towards understanding linked to skills acquisition.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Several residents are still displaced after a train derailment caught fire. 13 of Paducah and Louisville Railway's cars derailed Monday, followed by Wednesday's explosion.
P&L Railway spokesperson Bonnie Hackbarth said, "We have not had a major incident with a chemical leak like this – a substantial leak – for over 20 years." But this one will be talked about for quite some time.
The fire was expected to burn out in about an hour, but more than 24-hours later Hackbarth is still not sure how that time was dramatically wrong, "The information in terms of how much of the chemical was still in the tanker at the time was the best information that we had at that time."
Thursday, emergency management crews cars were everywhere in the once quiet neighborhoods, and P&L Railway is paying for that – literally.
Anyone in the shelter-in-place or evacuation zones get food, hotel expenses, even missed days of work paid for.
Hackbarth explained, "They can come here with appropriate documentation and walk out with a check."
Those who were evacuated get an extra $100 for each adult and $50 for each child.
That includes people like Peggy Craig, "It's so gracious if because if you don't have it and you're so used to being home then we have nothing and that's exactly what happened to us we had nothing you know and to be and to be told within five to ten minutes to be out of your home is terrible."
While the shelter-in-place was lifted for residents within a five mile radius, those within a 1.2 mile radius are still under an evacuation order. On Thursday there was talk the evacuation situation could stretch into the weekend.
Diane Bagby with the EMA explained, "We recognize that it is a huge inconvenience for them to be out and they've been very patient but safety comes first so I can't give a time frame."
In addition to monitoring the fire that's burning, other crews worked to empty the car containing styrene. The goal was to have it emptied by Thursday night.
Crews said the cars containing the hydrogen fluoride are the most dangerous, but added they are not leaking. The two cars containing that chemical are at the bottom of the heap and will likely be the last to be emptied.
The Environmental Protection Agency is continuing to monitor the water in the area, with the Salt River not far from the site of the derailment. A spokesperson with the EPA said there was no contamination from the leak in the Ohio River.

The chief thing which made Richardson's works alike amongst themselves and unlike the works of almost all of his contemporaries was his power to conceive a building as a whole, and to preserve the integrity of his conception no matter how various might be the features or how profuse the decoration he employed. Each of his best buildings is an organism, an entity, a coherent vital whole. Reduce it by distance to a mere silhouette against the sky, or draw it down to a thumb-nail sketch, and it will still be the same, still be itself. ... The building seems to have grown, developed, expanded like a plant. We cannot dismember it in thought without hurting both what we leave and what we take away. ... There is no point where conception seems to end and mere treatment to begin. [5]We cannot dismember it in thought without hurting both what we leave and what we take away: This is worth contemplating at length, and applying today. I visit so many contemporary buildings that make me think about this relationship of part to whole; that make me wonder: Why this form? Why that slot? What is the point of that curve? It is the job of the critic to ask these questions, of course; but they also indicate a kind of "dismemberment in thought," the failure of a work of architecture to cohere.
In our climate and with our social ways of summer living, we absolutely require just what it can give us — a room which in its uses shall stand midway between the piazzas on the one hand and the drawing-rooms and libraries on the other; perfectly comfortable to live in when the hour means idleness, easy of access from all points outside and in, largely open to breeze and view, yet with a generous hearthstone where we might find a rallying-point in days of cold and rain. [10]She also devotes attention to the staircase, as an open and architectural element in these new halls. As you read, you realize that Van Rensselaer is developing a dialogue between the domestic architecture and culture of her day and the experience of Americans in their houses. She is explaining how the innovations of the home — along with those of the skyscraper — were forming the core of a new American architecture. I don't know if this was Van Rensselaer's style and subject by interest or necessity, but it feels to me that her analyses benefitted from attention to the small-scale as well as to the myriad choices Americans were making — and still make — in our daily domestic lives. And even now, which is a better representation of who we are: our skyscrapers or our kitchens?
[T]he client, whatever he means to build, should look about him for an architect, in the sense of a man who values at its highest the artistic side of every problem, great or small, elaborate or simple, and has thoroughly prepared himself to treat it. This is the first and greatest commandment: an artist is needed for an "unimportant" as well as for an "important" building. [13]In that same essay, Van Rensselaer acknowledges the obligations of the architect as well as those of the client.
An architect cannot shut himself up in his closet. He must come into contact with the public both as an artist and as a man; the public must trust him, while it need only weigh the poet and the painter after the act; and their product it may take or leave, which it is obliged to keep whatever you bestow. [14]It is obliged to keep whatever you bestow: this observation on the public-ness of architecture foreshadows Paul Goldberger's observation that "nobody tears down a building if an architecture critic doesn't like it." Architecture may be commissioned by a particular client, but unlike the fine arts, it has a public presence and permanence; it is a practical art. Van Rensselaer is wonderfully even-handed about how much care architects must take in order not to abandon us to a bad building. She acknowledges that architecture in America is a still young profession, and for that reason she is at pains to spell out the ground rules. She concludes:
Upon the client even more than upon the architect ... lies at this moment the responsibility of improving our condition in matters architectural. If we are to have that reciprocal loyalty in trust and service from which alone can grow a healthy, prolific, and truly national art, the public must learn to bear itself as intelligently and honorably as the profession does to-day, and thus encourage the profession to still greater conscientiousness. [15]

The UW-Stevens Point Suites@201 provide a home away from
home just like any other college dorm.
"There's plenty of areas and opportunities to get involved
and interact with everyone else who lives here," said Lyza Reichelt, resident
at The Suites@201.
But this residence hall stands out for the way it was
A national energy and environmental group is recognizing
UW-Stevens Point leaders for their efforts to build an eco-friendly dorm.
"There are many different factors that have into the
environmental certification of the building through the construction to how we
operate and maintain the building itself. So, everything is really quite green,"
said UWSP Residential Living Facilities Designer, Cindy Von Gnechten.
The building features solar panels, recycled building
materials and energy efficient lighting.
Planners say being green was a top priority.
"The students were asking for it very early on. Our students
are very astute when it comes to environmental stewardship, and residential
living as a whole, that is our mission, as well as campus. That was something
we knew we wanted to incorporate into this building," said Von Gnechten.
And students are proud of the award.
"We're known as a green campus and a sustainability focused
campus. So, It's a cool thing for us to be able to have, like, not just a
title, but to have something to back that up," said Vince Hucek, a UWSP
Reichelt says that the award is something students are
talking about.
"It's definitely going to a push to make sure every else is
working towards that level," added Reichelt.
The award gives national recognition to a campus striving to
be green.
A big name retailer has its eyes on a spot in Wausau, according to city council members.

Oscar's delight for Ulloa
Updated 7:29pm Saturday 8th February 2014 in Sport By Howard Griggs
Albion head coach Oscar Garcia admitted his delight for matchwinner Leonardo Ulloa after a 1-0 victory at home to Doncaster.
Ulloa netted his first goal in seven games with 15 minutes remaining to claim the three points.
Oscar said: "We started really well but when you have a lot of chances and don't score you can maybe lose your confidence. But we kept playing well, creating chances and finally Leo took it really well.
"He's been exactly the same player that we know. It will be good for his confidence but he is helping us a lot, not only scoring goals but creating chances, creating spaces for his team-mates. I think he is doing his job.
"I am sure he will be really pleased with his goal."
The Albion chief also hailed the contribution of Solly March.
He added: We know Solly March is one of our young talents. We are trying to help him improve as a player. He has enough quality to be an important part of the first team at Brighton in the next years."

Perhaps he actually said: "I'm sorry everyone, I know you might think it strange and I really should get out more, but I'm really pleased we won today and that Leo scored....."
Sorry, it's a small point, but it just had to be said. I can calm down now..

This is a wonderful climb, with some great face climbing on P2. The P1 mini-roof is harder than it looks. The P2 crux protects with small cams or tricams, but there is some easier runout climbing after the crux. It's a heady lead if 5.6 is your limit.

Toms River has replaced the sand dunes on publicly owned oceanfront property in Ortley Beach that were washed away during Hurricane Sandy. The township is willing to extend the same courtesy to the owners of private beachfronts, too, but on one condition. And it's not a small one.
According to township solicitor Ken Fitzsimmons, the township is legally prohibited from spending taxpayer funds to replenish dunes on private property destroyed by Sandy. That's no longer a problem should the property owners grant the township an easement. As a condition of the easement, however, Toms River is requiring property owners to grant the township public access to the beach between the dunes and the Atlantic Ocean in perpetuity.
Suddenly, the private in private beaches no longer applies.
Fitzsimmons said letters informing property owners of the dune replenishment bargain were mailed to about 30 different entities, among them residential property owners, business owners, and condo associations located along the ocean on Ortley Beach. So far, only two property owners have agreed to the township's terms, one officially.
In all, Fitzsimmons said he's been in contact with "eight or nine" lawyers representing property owners in Ortley Beach that would be impacted by the easement. Some property owners have yet to respond to an original letter and a follow up sent out by the township.
Toms River's council members have been instructed to not discuss the details of the easement letters on the advice of Fitzsimmons. The council attorney also demurred when asked to explain the easements, saying that discussing the letters and the easement in detail would be unethical and could represent a conflict of interest moving forward.
Fitzsimmons did, however, provide the letters sent to Ortley Beach property owners without objection. From the follow up letter:
Private beaches that granted the easement would be included in the replenishment project. The easement is required by law because the Township is constitutionally prohibited from expending public funds to improve privately-owned properties.
The project has been underway for several weeks and is nearing completion and we have not received your response. This is your final opportunity to have your beach included in the replenishment project…otherwise your property will be omitted from the project and you will have to replenish your dune at your own expense, which likely will be substantial.
Dune replenishment began on Ortley Beach in November shortly after the township accepted a $1.3 million bid from Earle Asphalt Company. Toms River Engineer Bob Chankalian said dune replenishment on public property has been completed with the township now considering augmenting the tidal shelf to prevent the new dunes from being washed away.
Toms River is also one of several towns hoping to have the Army Corps of Engineers provide an assessment of the beachfront and contribute to new methods of storm protection in the months ahead. To do so, however, requires towns to submit applications and, in a sense, get in line for the Corps services. All of the townships dunes must have been replaced at the time of the application, making replenishment a time-sensitive issue.

As part of National Poison Prevention Week, March 17 March 23, several local grocers including the two Fresh Markets in the Park City area are working with the University of Utah Poison Control Center to provide guests with information booths to help educate parents and their children about poisonous products that can be found in the home. The booths will be located in the pharmacy areas where the staff will discuss the dangers of potentially poisonous medicines and chemicals, and to outline preventative steps people can take to ensure their safety and that of their loved ones.
"We really want to help support families in this effort. We need families to be aware of the preventative steps that can be taken in the home and in their lives to keep themselves and their young ones safe," said Dave Karpowitz AFS Safety Director. "It is vital that people arm themselves with basic information on poison prevention in the home, such as keeping chemicals out of the reach of children and carefully reading the labels and dosages on all products.
More than 2 million poisonings are reported each year to the Nation's poison centers. According to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, approximately 90 percent of poisonings happen at home, and 51 percent of poisonings involve children under the age of 6. The majority of fatal poisonings occur among adults, especially older adults.
National Poison Prevention Week was established by the U.S. Congress in 1961 to focus national attention on the dangers of poisonings and how to prevent them. To learn more about ways to keep people of all ages safe and help prevent poisonings, visit the Poison Help Web site at www.PoisonHelp.hrsa.gov (or to view materials in Spanish, visit www.PoisonHelpEspanol.hrsa.gov).
In case of a poison emergency, contact your local poison center at 1-800-222-1222.

Students live with a host family for two to four weeks in all locations other than the first country. Homestays are the primary form of accommodation on the program. (Other accommodations include hotels or hostels). Homestay families provide students the opportunity to live as integrated members of their host communities. In sharing daily life, conversations, family stories, celebrations, and community events, students not only learn a tremendous amount, but often develop lasting friendships.
Family structures vary in every place, and SIT Study Abroad values the diversity of homestay families. For example, your family may include a single mother of two small children or a large extended family with many people coming and going all the time. Please bear in mind that, in many countries, the idea of what constitutes a "home" (i.e., the physical nature of the house) may be different from what you expect. You will need to be prepared to adapt to a new life with a new diet, a new schedule, new people, and possibly new priorities and expectations.
Country coordinators in each location will arrange homestay placements. In most cases, students will be placed in homestays in pairs. These placements are made first based on health concerns, including any allergies or dietary needs, to the extent possible. You will not receive information about your homestay family before you arrive in each country.
