Will County Board member Don Moran, who is president of the Illinois Rifle Association, said Wednesday that Gov. Pat Quinn's amendatory veto to the state's concealed carry legislation would be too restrictive.
The Legislature is expected to override the governor's changes early next week. That would be the right thing to do, said Moran, D-Romeoville.
"I don't think the governor's amendatory veto is going to go anywhere," Moran said. "I guess we'll see on Tuesday."
Quinn's amendatory veto, which gave him the power to change the original bill rather than reject it outright, would ban the concealed carry of firearms in any establishment that serves alcohol.
"What's the point?" Moran asked. "If I go out to dinner in a restaurant with my family, and I'm not drinking, what is the point of banning me from carrying in a firearm to defend myself and my family?"
Fellow Will County Board member Steve Balich, R-Homer Glen, who also is an outspoken proponent of concealed carry, agreed with Moran.
"If I go out to dinner with my girlfriend and I'm sitting there and I can't carry a gun with me and some guy comes in and starts shooting, I might be killed, she might be killed," he said. "The guy next to me might be killed."
Moran didn't like that Quinn limited concealed carry permit holders to one 10-round magazine and one gun. He said Quinn's security personnel carry more than that to protect him.
"His life is no more important than mine and my family's," Moran said.
Moran opposes Quinn's call for requiring that all weapons be completely concealed.
Moran and Balich made their comments after a Will County Forest Preserve Board committee meeting where the concealed carry law was addressed. (County board members double as forest preserve board members).
During the meeting, Executive Director Marcy DeMauro said currently, guns are banned in all forest preserves. When the concealed carry law goes into effect the district may have to add some ordinances to limit weapons. For instance, guns could be banned in district buildings and playgrounds and at public programs, special events and all events that require permits, including charity events, picnics and camping, DeMauro said.
"We would make it illegal to fire a weapon in, on or across a forest preserve for any reason other than the defense of human life," she added.
That would prohibit any target practice or the shooting of animals or causing random damage to district property, DeMauro said. State statute gives the district the power to create such ordinances with board approval, she said.
DeMauro and committee members agreed that the district should delay any ordinance changes until the dust settles in Springfield.

The Sedins who started their careers in Boston at the 1999 entry draft (drafted by Vancouver 2nd and 3rd respectively), well now look to win their first ever championship in...
"It was personal. It started in warmup, before the anthem," Burrows said of Auger's penalty calling. "(Augers) came over to me and he said I made him look bad in Nashville on the (Jerred) Smithson hit and he said he was going to get me back tonight." "When Smithson hit me from sideways and he (Auger) said, "I saw the replay, you had your head up, you weren't really hurt and you made me look bad so I'm going to get you back tonight," and he did, and he cost us two points." "He did his job in the third, I think. He got me on a diving call I didn't think was diving. He got me on an interference call that I had no idea how he could call that. It changed the game. It sucks right now for teammates who are battling 60 minutes to win a hockey game because every two points are so huge, are so important. And because of a guy's ego, it just blows everything out of proportion and the refs - they're making bad calls and the fans are paying for it and we're paying for it." "He comes into the game and he knows he's going to make a call against me to give Nashville an advantage and I don't think that's fair for my teammates and for the fans," said Burrows. "After my second penalty, I skated by him and he said, 'If you say a word, I'm going to kick you out,' so I didn't say a word because I still thought we could come back and win the game. But with three seconds left and a faceoff outside the zone, I thought I could tell him what I thought about him." "I think he should stay out for the rest of the year making calls like that that are making us look bad. Every two points are so important in this league. We just blew two points because of his officiating tonight."I'm a little perplexed myself, however, the Canucks did not deserve to win this one.
He might be forgetting a guy that stands between the pipes...
UPDATE: No Christmas cards for LeBrun. ********** In a show of humility: "I'm not asking for first-line money or top six money," Burrows said. "I don't think it changes anything. I still consider myself a checker. That's what I think I am first. That's how I want to be paid. "If I can generate offence once in a while, I think it's a plus for the team." Burrow's reaction to Pierre LeBrun's suggestion that he may be traded by the deadline if a deal is not made: "I heard that hot stove," Burrows said. "That's a Frenchman, they don't know what they're saying. It's kind of funny, they were throwing out every name. Who knows who are their sources. I can't let it bother me. I have to play my game and hope for the best — that I stay here." The article mentions that Burrows is seeking a 3-year deal worth $2 million per season. I'd say that's a great deal.
Not bad. Burrows is mic'd up for the Habs game and his line is in on 3 of the 4 Canucks goals.

Pastor turns tragedy into hope
Date: May 28, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
A full-time Sarasota pastor and part-time Riverview High School athletics coach has purchased a former adult nightclub and sports bar and plans to turn it into a youth center.
"There were things in this building that were a bad influence," said the Rev. Joseph Davis. "And now it will be a good influence."
Davis bought the black-and-white striped building at 6240 South Tamiami Trail, which was most recently Ref's Sportsgrille and was previously a nightclub called J.B.'s, to turn it into a center to provide a place for at-risk students to hang out. It will be named Nightlife.
But Davis' mission was born out of tragedy.
Davis had been a pastor at the Covenant Life Presbyterian Church, in Sarasota, for six years, when he was offered a job outside Queens, N.Y. He moved his wife and their two teenagers there in 2005. On Sept. 25, 2007, Davis' 18-year-old daughter, Sarah, was killed in a car crash just a block from their home.
"I remember walking past the roped-off area and just dropping to the sidewalk," he said.
His daughter was rushed to the hospital, but doctors told the Davises that Sarah was not going to survive.
"What that does is make you re-evaluate life," Davis said. "You can become bitter and angry, or you can become more effective."
He decided to leave the highest paying job he'd ever had to come back to Sarasota.
"(It's) a town I loved and my daughter loved," he said.
Davis had no promise of a salary, but he started
MobilePreacher.org to help mentor high school and college students.
Purchasing the former sports bar is part of his plan. He hopes to partner with schools, churches and other groups to make Nightlife a center that will keep at-risk kids out of trouble, with volunteer therapists on staff.
He also plans to re-open the restaurant inside the 4,751-square-foot building and have the students operate it to provide them job skills for the future.
"We want this to be a resource for kids and parents," Davis said. "We want the building to be full all the time."

A large blimp is making its home at the Marana Airport for a few days.
The blimp was seen flying over the Tucson area on Tuesday.
The See It, Snap It, Send It below was snapped by user elivia.corral.
According to the BBC a team of British scientists on board the blimp, also known as an airship, will study "insect life, the relationship between life and weather, as well as how hurricanes form."
Their studies are being filmed for a new series with a working title of 'Cloud Lab'.
In a interview about the show BBC producer James Van Der Pool said "The 100 kilometres (62 miles) or so of air above our heads is all that separates us from space. It's in every breath we take and makes Earth habitable. Yet for all its centrality to the health of the planet there's a lot we still don't know about the atmosphere. For instance, at what altitude does life cease? What type of air is most likely to cause rain? With Cloud Lab we've a rare and exciting opportunity to address some of these questions head on."
The show is scheduled to air next year.

'Public engagement' campaign launched by Royal Blackburn and Burnley General hospitals (From Blackburn Citizen)

'Public engagement' campaign launched by Royal Blackburn and Burnley General hospitals
10:30am Wednesday 22nd January 2014 in News
THE Royal Blackburn and Burnley General hospitals will tomorrow launch a 'public engagement' campaign to gather suggestions on how services can be improved.
East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust has been in special measures since July, and the 'Tell Ellie' initiative is seen as a key part of the organisation's revival.
The scheme will see a trailer visiting major towns, making it easier for members of the public to give their views.
It will be launched outside the Town Hall in Blackburn tomorrow, from 10am to 2pm, with further events planned for Colne, Nelson, Accrington, Darwen, Rawtenstall, Clitheroe and Burnley.
Jim Birrell, interim chief executive, said: "We really want to instil a sense of ownership. The trust belongs to the people in the local area so we want to hear from you and we will respond to your suggestions and comments. Ellie, which stands for East Lancashire Listens, Involves and Engages, will make it much easier for the public to get involved.
"We wanted to make our engagement campaign as clear and accessible as possible so it is supported by a short film that people can watch online explaining what we are doing, why we are doing it, and how people can give us their views on the way services are run in their trust.
"People can phone, write or contact us through our website and social media platforms."

In the past I must have sent reams of paper in response to requests for information or suggesting how things could be improved or even as complaints, but no improvements are ever made, in fact things have gone worse.

Has nobody told the temporary man in charge, that this self-same thing has been up and running for two years, with a website that people may submit their comments via email?
Has he seen the web page with the title, 'You said We did', that hasn't had a single word about any comments/complaints/
suggestions that they've received and things that they have done to rectify or improve things?
Don't take my word for it, have a look yourself...
Am I to believe that there has been no public input that has been read, redirected, reported or resolved in TWO years?
So now we have people swanning around the area, in a rented vehicle combination, 'listening', recording and reporting things that are of concern to people. These are then being passed to some office that contains a Black Hole, as they are never heard of again! Of course, it may be that they have so many issues to deal with, they've not got time to update the website.
Ellie, which stands for East Lancashire Listens, Involves and Engages, they tell me. Yet I can't help thinking that it means, Elephantine, Largely Lackadaisical, Inept Executive.
Perhaps they could run a competition for what it actually means to people who use the hospital. They could spend the waiting times, completing entry forms in A&E, with the chance of winning a family day out to a Casualty Dept. of their choice. St Elsewhere, perhaps?

This is the one time of year that I love wasps.
Not because the wasps themselves get any nicer. They're horrid little creatures year round. No, it's because I have a couple of big apple trees out back, and late August, early September is when the apples start ripening.
Now, if you don't harvest your own fruit, there are two things you need to know about apples.
The first thing you need to know about apples is that, when apples get ripe, they tend to fall from the tree at the slightest breeze.
I often work late at the office; by the time I get home, there are piles of apples scattered everywhere - and sure enough, the wasps are out in force, gorging themselves on the fruit. When I go to clean up the windfallen apples, the wasps naturally do the "rawr, I'ma fuck you up!" routine for which wasps are known.
The second thing you need to know about apples is that they ferment very rapidly in the late August heat.
So: the wasps try to come at me, but they're too drunk to fly. They get about an inch off the ground, then faceplant directly into the turf, flip over onto their backs, and lay there, legs twitching in the air as they try in vain to find something to sting.
Perhaps I'm a man of simple pleasures, but I bust up laughing every. single. time.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

So Shady's back, and no I am not referring to Eminem gazing into the camera on Saturday night. LeSean McCoy went all sorts of crazy on Washington carrying 31 times for 184 yards and even finding the end zone. The performance marks a return to top five status for McCoy and confirms that Chip Kelly's fast break offense is legit.
Michael Vick finished with 203 yards and two touchdowns through the air and 54 yards on the ground and a score as well. Desean Jackson caught seven passes for 104 yards and a touchdown as every aspect of the Eagles offense seemed to click.
RGIII made his return following knee surgery and was productive throwing for 329 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The biggest question following his return is would the dark lord of fantasy football use the force to prevent Griffin from leaving the comfort of the pocket. He tested the waters five times for 24 yards in the opening game.
Leonard Hankerson will tickle the waiver wires after his five catch, 80 yard and two touchdown performance. Pierre Garcon caught seven passes for 64 yards.
After throwing his first pass to a member of the wrong team, Matt Schaub rallied the Texans and his fantasy owners for 346 yards and three touchdowns. Two of the scores went to tight end Owen Daniels who finished with five catches for 67 yards. Andre Johnson went berserk catching 12 balls for 146 yards.
Arian Foster didn't do anything to prove his skeptics wrong as he put up a pedestrian 18 carry 57 yard performance. Yes Charch, that is 3.16 yards per carry.
Meanwhile, in San Diego…
Phil Rivers had a pedestrian yardage game completing only 14 passes for 195 yards. The good news for his owners was that over a quarter of his completions were for touchdowns. Two of the scores went to Eddie Royal whose stat line was anything but impressive (3 rec 24 yds).
Ryan Mathews finished the game with 55 combo yards and a less than 3 yard per carry average.

WASHINGTON, DC -- Congresswoman Cheri Bustos announced a $200,000 grant for Goodwill Industries of Central Illinois in Peoria on Thursday.
The grant is awarded through the U.S. Department of Labor's Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program.
"Our brave military service members and their families have made tremendous sacrifices for us and we owe them our highest gratitude," Bustos said.

Oregon State senior receiver James Rodgers will return to the Oregon State active lineup this Saturday when the Beavers host the UCLA Bruins in the Pac-12 Conference opener for both teams, head coach Mike Riley announced Wednesday.
Rodgers is coming back from two knee surgeries after suffering a season-ending injury while scoring a touchdown in Oregon State's win over Arizona in October of 2010.
He was granted a fifth year of eligibility as he was eligible per NCAA rules for a medical hardship.
Rodgers is fourth at OSU for career receiving yards with 2,064 and third for receptions with 177. He holds the school record for all-purpose yards with 5,784, which currently ranks fourth among active FBS players. So, you can imagine the Beavers are excited to get him back in the line-up.

Politicians for saleOctober 09,2013The New York Times said the following in an editorial:
Nearly four years after its controversial ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court is once again taking up the issue of the regulation of money in politics. This time, the risk to the integrity of elected officials, and public confidence in government, may be even greater.
On Tuesday, the court is scheduled to hear oral argument in McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission, in which an Alabama businessman, Shaun McCutcheon, challenges the constitutionality of the overall cap on contributions an individual may make directly to federal candidates, party committees and political action committees in each two-year election cycle.
McCutcheon says this limit currently set at $123,200 violates his First Amendment right to free speech. The government argues that the overall limit, together with the $5,200 limit on an individuals donations to a particular candidate, works to prevent political corruption, as well as the appearance of corruption.
The limits were enacted by Congress in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal. In a 1976 case, Buckley v. Valeo, the Supreme Court struck down limits on campaign spending, but upheld the limits on direct political contributions. Since then, the court has upheld every federal contribution limit that has come before it.
McCutcheon contends that striking down the overall limit would not undermine protections against corruption since an individual would still be bound by the per-candidate limits. But this ignores the reality of modern campaign finance, in which politicians and party committees solicit large sums from individual donors, and then funnel the money through fundraising committees to particular candidates. Without the current cap, the government argues, a single donor could give up to $3.6 million to a partys political candidates and committees in an election cycle.
The very wealthiest Americans already have disproportionate influence: in the 2012 election, 1,219 donors reached or nearly reached the overall limit, and together they were responsible for giving $155 million to federal races. One study, by Demos and the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, projected that without the overall limit in place, those donors would have contributed nearly triple that amount or 50 percent more than President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney received from all small donors combined. This is significant because a recent report by political science researchers showed that the wealthy differ significantly from ordinary Americans in their policy preferences. For example, job creation is consistently the top priority for most Americans, but among the wealthiest, the budget deficit is the most pressing problem.
Sensible contribution limits do not limit speech. As the court recognized in the Buckley case, they are a quite modest restraint that help prevent evasion of the per-candidate limit. An individual like McCutcheon may still say whatever he wants, and after Citizens United, he may spend all he would like on independent campaign-related messages.
The nations founders understood the threat of corruption in politics and were preoccupied with combating it. The government should be dependent on the great body of the people, James Madison wrote, and not an inconsiderable proportion, or a favored class of it. If the court is going to help protect American politics from becoming little more than a disagreement among rich people, as one observer put it, it should follow its own precedent and uphold the overall contribution limit.MORE IN CommentaryFrançois Hollande, the president of France since 2012, coulda been a contender.

|San Fernando Valley Residents Walk to Fight Alzheimer's on Sunday, June 10
|Written by Jesse Estrada Special to the Sun
|Thursday, 07 June 2012 04:41
Longtime Advocate Pursues Cure Following Death Of His Wife
Alzheimer's Assn. California Southland Chapter president and CEO Susan Galeas, child actor Niko Baur and Herb Hirsh.
In June 2000, Calabasas resident Herb Hirsh received the devastating news that his wife, Kay, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, an incurable brain disorder that – over time – causes increasing memory loss and the decline of other brain functions, such as the ability to control movements, make decisions, and recognize family and friends. It was another cruel blow to Hirsh and his family. Kay's mother, Miriam, and her Aunt Dorothy, had also died of the disease.
According to research studies, Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia among the elderly, affecting about 18 million people worldwide. As the symptoms of dementia worsen, patients often must rely on caregivers to help them with basic day-to-day activities. Some of the most famous victims include former President Ronald Reagan, actors Charlton Heston and Charles Bronson, boxer Sugar Ray Robinson and singer Perry Como.
You have a one in eight chance of getting Alzheimer's disease after age 65. For those families with a loved one with Alzheimer's, finding care and assistance can be very challenging both financially and emotionally. It is the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S.
On Sunday, June 10, Hirsh and others seeking to eliminate the disease's tremendous health care toll are participating in "Walk To End Alzheimer's," an annual fundraiser held in more than 600 communities nationwide. The five-hour event, from 7 a.m. to noon, will be held in Woodley Park in Van Nuys.
Becoming An Advocate
After his wife's diagnosis, Hirsh committed himself to being an active and outspoken advocate for a cure, as well as Kay's caregiver. Kay passed away in 2011, but Hirsh's passion and commitment remain strong.
"When Kay first was diagnosed, it was tough," Hirsh said. "We did not know much about the disease, and just like everyone else, we came to the Alzheimer's Association for information and support."
Hirsh said he and his wife started learning about the disease and its effects by joining the Memory Club support group in Northridge.
"Later we came to know more people at the Association and got involved in different things," Hirsh said. "I had an interest in public policy, and I wanted to use that experience for the Association."
Hirsh has immersed himself in activities promoting legislative reform to improve care and increase funding for research.
He became active in the Alzheimer's Association in 2000. He also became a member of the Public Policy Committee, later serving as committee chairman.
Hirsh is currently a delegate to the California Council of the Alzheimer's Association, serving as council president in 2007 and 2008. And he is on the Board of Directors of the California Southland Chapter, which serves the counties of Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino.
Hirsh travels to Sacramento annually to participate in the Alzheimer's Advocacy Day, and also to Washington, D.C., for the Alzheimer's Association's annual DC Forum and Action Summit.
Walking "The Walk"
Even with all he has done within public policy, and with the Alzheimer's Association, Hirsh was motivated to do more.
That's when he learned about "Walk To End Alzheimer's."
"I found out about the 'Walk to End Alzheimer's' – previously known as the 'Memory Walk' – which raises funds for Alzheimer care and research," Hirsh said.
In his first year, Hirsh was a leading fundraiser. "It really surprised me. [But] It showed me that a little effort could have surprising results," Hirsh continued.
Now he's urging others to join him on June 10, and help raise money for education, research and treatment.
"Now it's your chance to get involved," he said. "There is no such thing as a little effort, when every effort helps to find a cure. Even you can make a difference by joining the 'Walk to End Alzheimer's' this year. You might be the next top fundraiser!"
The participants are of all ages and backgrounds. Hirsh said walkers often enjoy the camaraderie of being with others who understand the challenges and rewards of care giving, and are dedicated to finding a cure for Alzheimer's and related dementias.
He said his team is for three people. "My wife Kay, her mother Miriam (Mimi), and her aunt, Dorothy. So 'Team Kay, Mimi and Dorothy' was born. There are several people in our family who were affected and there might be more someday, so we need to take action now."
After his first Walk, Hirsh was left wondering, "What do I do now?" He said actor David Hyde Pierce ("Frasier") was at the event and told him, "You've got to do better. Just try to raise more next year."
"David's advice was good, and that's part of my ongoing commitment to this cause," Hirsh said. "To raise more funds, communicate to more people, and continue to spread the word on why this is important to all of us."
This will be the second annual "Walk To End Alzheimer's" in Woodley Park, and will include a 5K walk route, musical entertainment by the talented duo Jusstuss, the hip-hop performers "Reggie & Sheila," team photos, awards, and a family festival with refreshments, a wellness expo and a KidZone.
Walkers who raise $100 or more receive a commemorative T-shirt, and there are prizes for top fundraising teams and individuals. Onsite registration opens at 7 a.m., opening ceremonies begin at 8:30 a.m., and the Walk begins at 9 a.m. Dogs are welcome, but must be people friendly and leashed.
The event will be hosted by ABC7 Eyewitness News anchor Leslie Sykes.
You can also learn more about the disease by contacting The Greater San Fernando Valley Office of the Alzheimer's Association office, located in Northridge, which offers programs and services in several languages to assist the people affected by dementia, as well as their families and caregivers.
Woodley Park is located at 6350 Woodley Ave., in Van Nuys. More than 1,000 participants from throughout Los Angeles County are expected to participate. The course is two miles, and will begin and end near a stage where food and festivities will take place and awards will be distributed. Besides the walk itself, there will also be a health and wellness festival, live entertainment, raffle prizes, and family activities for children.
A Los Angeles walk will be held on Nov. 4, in Century City. For more information about the Walk to End Alzheimer's, to register to walk or start a team, or to volunteer, call the Alzheimer's Association at (800) 272-3900, or visit the Web site, www.alz.org/socal.

NEWCREAST Mining expects to be in a sustainable cash position by the end of the financial year as it keeps a lid on costs and pays down debt.
Australia's largest gold miner recently improved its cash position after embarking on a massive cost cutting drive.
Analysts are confident Newcrest can reach its full year cashflow and cost targets following an improvement in the gold price and a weaker Australian dollar.
But investors will have to wait until the company pays down debt before receiving a dividend.
"The internal objective is to drive the business to the maximum cash flow and continue with the investment of Cadia East and reduce our debt," Newcrest Chief Executive Greg Robinson told reporters on Friday.
"The business will be net cash flow positive."
Newcrest shares fell 1.3 per cent on Friday after the company announced a net profit of $40 million for the six months to December 31, down 88 per cent from a first half profit of $323 million a year ago.
Free cash flow was an outflow of $229 million during the first half, but Newcrest expects to be cash flow positive by the end of the full year.
"The objective is to drive that cash flow hard and achieve a cashflow positive outcome at the lowest possible price," Mr Robinson said.
The company achieved an average gold price of $1405 an ounce during the half and is targeting a price of $1450 an ounce for the full year.
Mr Robinson confirmed Newcrest would repay debt before offering shareholders a dividend.
"In the short term, yes, we will favour debt," he said.
On Friday the company blamed the slide in first half profit on a 13 per cent fall in gold prices, a $120 million tax charge and a $47 million writedown to its exploration assets in West Africa.
Newcrest said lower gold prices over the half had offset a 26 per cent increase in gold sales volumes.
The company expects to produce around 2.3 million ounces of gold for the full year.

"It all happened so fast," he said. "I don't know if I can really put words to the atmosphere that was there Saturday night. I never in a million years thought that I ever would be fighting or that mixed martial arts in general would be on that type of stage. Even going into the Bell Centre in Montreal, where the three biggest fights were prior to this, there seems to be an end to the people. (Laughs) At some point you can look and see where the people end. But on Saturday night, it was a never ending sea of people. Everywhere you looked, as high as you could look and in every direction you looked, there were thousands and thousands of people. And there were big screens, taller than some of the arenas we've fought in (Laughs), and it really was amazing." "The one thing I told myself was that I fight best when I'm enjoying myself, I'm relaxed, and I'm having a good time. I said regardless of what happens out there tonight, I'm going to enjoy this moment. So from the moment they started my music to walk out, I was enjoying myself. I had a smile on my face and I was relaxed. Then I got to the Octagon, and when that door closes and Bruce Buffer takes over, it really is business as usual. I felt comfortable, and I knew that I was better than Ryan Jensen. I knew that I had faced better competition than Ryan Jensen, and if I stayed focused and fought my fight, I would come away with a good victory. Of course you can't predict it happening that fast, but it went as planned." Jason "The Athlete" MacDonald talking about his UFC 129 experienceHT: UFC.com

13. TAXABLE SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS. Iowa does not tax Social Security benefits in the same manner as the Internal Revenue Service. To compute the amount of Social Security benefits that are taxable to Iowa, complete the worksheet below.
This worksheet is available in fillable pdf format.
* Iowa taxpayers who received Social Security benefits in 2003 and claimed bonus depreciation on their Federal returns for property subject to the bonus depreciation calculation may have to recompute their taxable benefits on the worksheet.
Those who need to recompute the taxable Social Security benefits should add the bonus depreciation adjustment from line 5 of Schedule IA 4562A to the other amounts shown on line 3 of the Social Security worksheet from the Federal return and the RRB 1099. The rest of the form is then completed with the amounts normally used to complete the worksheet from the Federal 1040 or 1040A.
Include the following incomes or adjustments
to income on line 3 if applicable.
Although Railroad Retirement benefits are not taxable, one-half of the benefits received must be used to determine the amount of Social Security benefits that are taxable to Iowa. For purposes of determining taxable Social Security benefits, you must also include interest from Federal securities.

Candidly speaking: Unity gov't – opportunities and dangers
05/08/2012 19:44
There was no ideological obstacle preventing the Likud and Kadima, both essentially pragmatic (and opportunistic) centrist political parties, from forming a unity bloc.
Netanyahu and Mofaz discuss unity government
Photo: Marc Israel Sellem
For more than three years in this column I repeatedly appealed for the creation of a unity government, to facilitate decision-making in the face of the national challenges confronting us. Regrettably, former Kadima leader Tzipi Livni's egomania and obsessive hatred of Netanyahu made this impossible.
In truth, beyond personalities and ambitions, there was no ideological obstacle preventing the Likud and Kadima, both essentially pragmatic (and opportunistic) centrist political parties, from forming a unity bloc. Most members of the Likud and Kadima could easily trade parties without compromising their outlook.
The vast majority of Israelis will undoubtedly welcome this move which, if managed effectively, could finally overcome the great divide which has so hurt the nation since the era of the Oslo Accords.
The creation of a centrist government of 94 lawmakers also provides the possibility to tackle a host of major political, social and identity issues that were relegated to the back burner because of the excessive veto power of small hardline or one-dimensional parties which have until now controlled the balance of power in the Knesset.
It could make Netanyahu one of the most powerful prime ministers Israel has ever had. By following a responsible centrist policy he will no longer be subject to blackmail or humiliation by the haredim, Yisrael Beytenu head Avigdor Liberman, the extreme Right fringes within the Likud or outside challengers like Yair Lapid. It will also immensely improve his global standing and relationship with President Barack Obama and the Americans in relation to the Iranian threat and Palestinian intransigency.
But Netanyahu is also taking an enormous risk. He was a virtual certainty to win the election, but if he mishandles this unity move, or due to time limitations fails to convince Israelis that the new government is determined to reform the system, this move could represent an end to his flourishing political career. It will require major legislation within nine to 12 months – a daunting but certainly not impossible challenge.
For Kadima and its leader Shaul Mofaz it represents a reprieve, because the party would have collapsed in an election, which explains its lack of concern for cabinet portfolios. Up to two-thirds of the sitting Kadima MKs would have been sent home if elections took place in September. Mofaz now has the opportunity – if he performs well – to regain the support of the electorate or to ultimately merge with the Likud.
The other beneficiary is Labor Party leader Shelly Yacimovich, who now emerges as a genuine leader of the opposition and may concentrate on social and economic issues, and possibly at a later stage still join the government.
In my opinion there are five crucial issues which Netanyahu and Mofaz must overcome if they are to win over the public.
• The first could be the most crucial, because it will set the tone for the new government: to restore the concept of cabinet responsibility.
The worst manifestations of dysfunctionality in recent Israeli governments were the tendency of individual ministers and coalition parties to act as though they represented independent fiefdoms rather than being responsible members of government. Netanyahu must ensure that once the government adopts a position, any minister who feels obliged to make a critical statement must resign.
• The second issue, which seems to have been agreed upon in advance, is to introduce the long overdue and desperately needed electoral reform designed to stabilize the government and to weaken the power of splinter groups to veto the will of the people.
• The third issue, also apparently agreed upon in principle, will undoubtedly prove to be the most challenging: the desperate need to review issues of religion and state, which could never previously be dealt with rationally, due to the opposition of the haredi parties controlling the balance of power.
The replacement for the "Tal Law" and the introduction of a form of national service for all Israeli citizens – Arabs as well as haredim – must be implemented if the national rage and bitterness generated by the burgeoning draft exemptions is to be overcome.
There are other religious issues such as the role of the Chief Rabbinate and the rabbinical courts in relation to marriage and conversions, and the imperative of ensuring that future generations of ultra-Orthodox Israelis are equipped with the education required to enable them to earn a livelihood and not remain lifelong recipients of welfare.
This will require courage on the part of both Netanyahu and Mofaz, both of whom seek to nurture the political support of the religious parties. If they merely introduce cosmetic reforms it will lead to a massive backlash at the next elections and provide strength for opposition parties.
• Fourth, the government must continue along the path of economic reform, especially as the European economic meltdown is likely to affect Israel over the next 12 months. The main focus should be to continue breaking the excessive control of a few large groups which inhibit competition in the market.
• Finally, there is a need to initiate an ongoing review of the education system which currently encourages tribalization of society in lieu of cementing national unity. Whilst the haredi and Arab sectors require considerable autonomy, it is imperative that in the long term all streams be obliged to implement a core curriculum which incorporates minimum standards for secular subjects and in which an atmosphere of national volunteerism is nurtured.
Theoretically, these objectives could all be achieved in a limited time and would enjoy the enthusiastic support of most Israelis.
Of course the most immediate benefit of this government would be the unity conveyed to the world and that the government, far from being a right-wing body, speaks in the name of the vast majority of Israelis. They seek peace and do not desire to rule over or absorb large numbers of Arabs.
Most would wish to see the major settlement blocs annexed to Israel, the adoption of defensible borders and the creation of a demilitarized Palestinian state. But they also recognize that this is impossible today due to the absence of a credible Palestinian peace partner. They have learnt from bitter experience that unilateral withdrawals and ceding territory in the absence of reciprocity are a prescription for disaster and endanger us all.
The presence of three former IDF chiefs of staff in the cabinet also gives us credibility in whatever steps we undertake about the threat of a nuclear Iran and will solidify grassroots support for us in the United States. It would also strengthen our relationship to Diaspora Jews and marginalize those abroad who have the gall to tell us that they know what is good for us better than we do.
