Urine therapy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In alternative medicine, the term urine therapy (also urotherapy, urinotherapy or uropathy) refers to various applications of human urine for medicinal or cosmetic purposes, including drinking of one's own urine and massaging one's skin with one's own urine. A practitioner of urine therapy is sometimes called a uropath .In the Indian ayurvedic tradition, urine therapy may be called amaroli. Another name is Shivambu Kalpa, taken from the title of the ancient text Shivambu Kalpa Vidhi. Here, shivambu can be translated as "the waters of Shiva", and refers to the urine.
History Promoters of urine therapy believe urine to have many preventative and curative powers. Some cultures have traditionally used urine as a medicine, especially India's, where it is prescribed by the Shivambu Kalpa Vidhi, which (among other uses and prescriptions) suggests massaging one's skin with aged, concentrated urine. In traditional Tibetan medicine, examination of the patient's urine is one of the main sources of information for a diagnosis.Health Through Balance: An Introduction to Tibetan Medicine, Yeshi Donden, ed. and transl. by Jeffrey Hopkins, Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass Pub., 2003. ISBN 812081519X. The Koryak tribe of Siberia is reported to have used the Amanita muscaria mushroom as an entheogen, and to have drunk the urine of those using the mushroom in order to experience the effects themselves. Tribesmen who could not afford the mushrooms drank the urine of those who could; tribesmen drank their own urine in order to prolong the experience; and tribesmen on trips carried their own urine with them.The plant kingdom and hallucinogens (part I), Richard Evans Schultes, UNODC Bulletin on Narcotics 21 (1969), #3, pp. 3-16. They sometimes concentrated their urine by partially freezing it and ingesting the unfrozen liquid. R. Gordon Wasson has theorized that the mythological soma of the Vedic religion was also Amanita muscaria.The homeopath John Henry Clarke wrote, "…man who, for a skin affection, drank in the morning the urine he had passed the night before. The symptoms were severe, consisting of general-dropsy, scanty urine, and excessive weakness. These symptoms I have arranged under Urinum. Urinotherapy is practically as old as man himself. The Chinese (Therapist, x. 329) treat wounds by sprinkling urine on them, and the custom is widespread in the Far East. Taken internally it is believed to stimulate the circulation".A Dictionary of Practical Materia Medica, John Henry Clarke, London: Homoeopathic Pub. Co., 1900-1902.Among modern celebrities, the British actress Sarah Miles has drunk her own urine for over thirty years, claiming that it immunises against allergies, amongst other health benefits. http://www.independent.ie/entertainment/news-gossip/i-cant-wait-to-get-off-this-planet-1081452.html Interview with Sarah Miles in The Independent, September 2007
Modern claims and findings Urine's main constituents are water and urea. However, it contains small quantities of many hormones and metabolites,Urine Therapy, Jeff LoweClinical value of 24-hour urine hormone evaluations, Alan Broughton, Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, January 2004. including corticosteroids.An Investigation into the Determination of Corticosteroids in Urine. I. The Determination of Corticosterone-like Substances, S. L. Tompsett, Journal of Clinical Pathology 6 (#1, February 1953), pp. 74-77. PMID 13034924. Urea has been claimed by some doctors to have an anti-cancer effect.Urotherapy, fact sheet at the American Cancer Society. In addition, the other chemicals in urine might have some effect if ingested. In 1997, Joseph Eldor, of the Theoretical Medicine Institute in Jerusalem, published a paper suggesting that because cancer cells release antigens which appear in the urine, oral autourotherapy could spur the intestinal lymphatic system to produce antibodies against these antigens.Urotherapy for patients with cancer, J. Eldor, Medical Hypotheses 48 (#4, April 1997), pp. 309-315. PMID 9160284.Despite these claims, there has been no research that has found drinking urine to be useful for any illness.[http://healthlibrary.epnet.com/GetContent.aspx?token=5344349d-8fbc-446e-8ae5-03a924025f8c&chunkiid=161688 True or False: It's Safe to Drink Your Urine], fact sheet at epnet.com. Human urine is normally relatively free of bacteria, since the bladder itself is normally a sterile environment, and drinking small amounts of one's own urine is unlikely to be seriously harmful. However, the urethra does contain bacteria, and this is why many physicians ask for a urine sample mid-stream, in order to allow the first few seconds of urination to wash out the bacteria within the urethra.Urinary Tract Infections in Adults, fact sheet at the National Institute of Health, publication no. 06–2097 Urinating on jellyfish stings is a common folk remedy, but has no beneficial effect and may be counterproductive as it can activate nematocysts remaining at the site of the sting.Q: Is it true that urinating on a jellyfish sting alleviates the discomfort? If so, who figured that out?, John Ruch, Stupid Question™, June 7, 2004. Accessed on line September 13, 2007. Fact or Fiction?: Urinating on a Jellyfish Sting is an Effective Treatment,

Global humanitarian agency Church World Service announced on Tuesday that it expects some 2,000 communities to join in hunger walks in the coming year under the banner of CROP: Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty.
This month marks the 60th anniversary of CROP -- the community hunger appeal of Church World Service-and the beginning of the CROP Hunger Walk season in the United States in which tens of thousands of people will sacrifice a few hours (and a blister or two) to raise money and show solidarity with impoverished people struggling to become self-sufficient. The CROP Walkers' motto: We walk because they walk!
CROP Hunger Walks are unique in that proceeds benefit both domestic and international poverty-reducing efforts.
"It still surprises some Americans that there are people here in the richest nation in the world who go to bed hungry because they cannot afford to buy food," says Rev. John L. McCullough, executive director and CEO of Church World Service. "These local CROP Hunger Walks, organized by individuals and faith communities in cities and towns all across the U.S., raise awareness about hunger and give people a way to help both in their own communities and around the world."
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture report "Household Food Security in the United States, 2005," 11 percent of U.S. homes did not have access "to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members" at least some time during the year.
In what has become an annual tradition in the thousands of communities that participate, an interfaith, multi-cultural collection of CROP walkers encourage friends, neighbors, colleagues, merchants and places of worship to donate dollars to support their participation in walks of up to 10 km. Participants, with their readily identifiable red and white signs, range in age from babies in strollers to seniors -- and even the occasional jogger.
The first-ever CROP Walks took place in the late 1960s. Over the decades since, more than 5 million walkers have raised millions to fight hunger.
Up to a quarter of the money donated to CROP Hunger Walk is returned to the community where it was raised to help local soup kitchens and food pantries.
"These walkers and the food pantries and soup kitchens they help support are a blessing. Together, they represent the caring hands of a community reaching out to help neighbors-and often strangers -- who are in crisis or whose way is hard," says Rev. McCullough.
Globally, Church World Service supports a broad range of poverty fighting projects in some 80 countries. They include the digging of wells and cisterns in villages in Africa and Palestine to improve local access to water; programs in several Latin America countries to help children living in extreme poverty who are vulnerable to violence and sexual exploitation; income producing programs for impoverished Roma families, in Serbia; and community development projects with poor women in rural Bangladesh.
CROP Hunger Walks link the lives of people in the U.S. with impoverished people around the world. As one Walker, Peter Boddie of Foothills, Colo., notes, "There's genius in CROP Hunger Walks. People come together at the community level to walk and the funds are put to work by local agencies on the ground in various countries and in the USA. It's grassroots at both ends, and we're all connected through Church World Service!"
To find out about a CROP Hunger Walk near you or for help organizing your own CROP Hunger Walk, call your CWS Regional Office at 888-CWS-CROP (888 297-2767). Visit the Ohio office online here. CROP Walks are slated for several northwest Ohio communities -- including Findlay, Bucyrus, Galion, Defiance, Bowling Green and Toledo -- on Oct. 7. Stay tuned for details!

"This Best Selling Cisco-Linksys RT31P2 Wired Router for Vonage Internet Phone Service Tends to SELL OUT VERY FAST! If this is a MUST HAVE product, be sure to Order Now to avoid disappointment!"
|Easy Hardware Connections
All Vonage plans let you enjoy the call features you've become accustomed to: call waiting, caller ID, voice mail, call forwarding, three-way calling, call return, repeat dialing, and reliable long distance… plus other features that may be new to you. For example, you can receive your voice mail as an e-mail attachment, and you'll have a phone number that travels with you. Visit www.vonage.com/amazon to see which plan is best suited to your lifestyle and budget. The low monthly rates are quite reasonably priced, in our opinion, and with them you may save considerably compared to traditional phone service. International calls are available for additional low fees, with one economical exception: calls from the U.S. to Canada are treated as domestic long-distance calls, rather than international ones. Vonage also supports short-form emergency 911 service, where available. (Dialing 911 requires activation and operates differently than traditional 911. See Vonage's website for details.)
The starter kit comes with a Vonage-certified Linksys RT31P2 router, avoiding the need for a separate phone adapter. All you need is a high-speed Internet connection (cable or DSL) and a touchtone phone. After setting up your Vonage account, you'll have instant access to two lines, each with a separate phone number–you can even assign them different area codes, subject to availability. You'll still be able to surf the Web while talking on the phone or receiving faxes.
The router allows you to connect up to three PCs and two telephones or fax machines, and they'll all share a single Internet connection through which you can smoothly transfer data of all kinds. While talking on the phone, you can still share a printer, make backups, or simply move your latest presentation notes over to your laptop. With easy Web-based configuration, all these options are available at the click of a mouse. Linksys backs the router with a generous three-year warranty.
What's in the Box
The Linksys RT31P2 broadband router with two phone ports and three switched Ethernet ports, a power adapter, a setup CD with user's guide, a network cable, Vonage plan and support information, a Quick Installation card, and a registration card

Question by guynextdoor: What phone service provider should I subscribe to?
I am new in the USA, and I need to get a phone. I am quite confused since there are so many plans and service providers. I am a student, and I dont use the phone a lot, but I do make calls to certain people quite frequently, like my mom for example (and she uses Verizon). Which one would you recommend, and which plan?
Thank you.

I had the Motorola ATA (analog telephone adapter). The voice quality was fine unless other people were downloading. Then I would have dropouts. I bought this product specifically because it support Quality of Service, reserving bandwidth when using the phone to maintain voice quality.
In order to take advantage of QoS, all traffic has to go through this router. No problem, I did my homework and ensured that it had all the features I needed; port forwarding, a DMZ setting, and IPSec and PPTP passthrough. I installed this in front of my current firewall, assigned my current firewall to the DMZ address, forwarded all ports, enabled IPSec and PPTP passthrough and I was all set – I thought.
My current firewall is also a VPN device – it establishes an IPSec tunnel to a matching firewall to another location. This works fine, the RT31P2′s IPSec passthrough works well. All servers behined the RT31P2 are also functional, Web, mail, ftp, etc. Great!
But for 2 weeks I could not understand why no one could complete a VPN conection PPTP) to our Microsoft remote access server. Turns out the the "PPTP Passthrough" setting on the configuration menu (and in the manual) is for show only – it doesn't work. A search on the Vonage forums and a Vonage tech representative confirmed this. So even though I did my homework, downloaded the manual ahead of time, etc, I still have a paperweight – I have to go back to my Motorola ATA. Worse, Linksys says it's a Vonage problem, and Vonage has no plans to fix this issue.
As an aside, I bought the RT31P2 about 5 weeks ago (I can't return it for an RMA). Back then I found a number of sources that sold it. I just did another search and most have taken it off their web sites. Is the word getting around that this is a Mickey Mouse device? (No offense to Micket).
I got the Vonage service just under six months ago then moved and brought my phone number with me – today there was a brief power outage – and the router did not come back. For your amusement, this is the list of stuff that Vonage wanted me to do (Imagine, if you will, all these instructions given in an Indian accent, not unpleasant, but everything had to be repeated four times, and common idiomatic US english was not understood.
1. unplug the router and plug it back in.
2. Hold the reset button for 50 seconds, unplug the router and plug it back in.
3. Plug the wall wart (idiom) cube (idiom) wire from the router to the power outlet on the linksys router to the wall power outlet into a DIFFERENT WALL SOCKET! (chuckle)
4. Reboot my Cisco router (yeah, sure – everything else is working, I told them sure – they wanted me to disconnect the router from the T1 and the ethernet and then plug them all back together – I told them yes and ignored them, just waited a minute, this was a stupid suggestion, I had 1000 kilobits on the line both ways, and everything else was working).
5. Unplug all other computers from my Cisco Router (I simply refused on this one, it is just silly).
Vonage wants $99 to replace this router – and they send it DHL, which does not work in my rural area (why else would I have a T1 and not a DSL or Cablemodem connection)?
But I can send the router back to them when I cancel my service and suffer no penalty, and then get a free one with free shipping from Tomatovine. Maybe theirs will work a bit better.
Vonage service has deterioriated to where I would not recommend them to anyone. I did not mention that this was the third call to Vonage – the first two resulted in hangups. This router is not good – a power outage should not kill a consumer grade device like this. Power outages are common in the consumer world.

This is amazing, it promises results after just three weeks but I saw my complexion look a lot more even and dewy after I used it the once! It even cleared up a couple of spots i had! I won't be buying anything else for my skin from now on! I find a lot of foundations can be sticky and shiny but this isn't! And It is so light it feels like you have barely anything on! I would recommend this to anyone who needs to help their complexion! The only negative is that it seems to accentuate bags under the eye but that's fine because they do a concealer for a very good price too! I will be stocking up :)Flag this review
Purchased this product with high expectations, definitely fulfilled my expectations.. i had a few blemishes on my skin and also my skin tone isn't perfect.. roughly 5 weeks after buying the product and using it more or less everyday its sage to say my skin is A LOT better than it was previously! certainly buying this foundation again! the only downside is it can be slightly cakey depending on the amount you put on, other than that i love it!Flag this review
this foundation is amazing if you want to achieve a natural but full coverage look. flawless application and amazing for the price I prefer this foundation to high end ones. definitely a go to foundation for me now, will be re-purchasing a lot.Flag this review

He'll say something vague like "We've been working on this for a long time"
Well, right on cue...in this week's
blog newsletter, Word From Westwood, here is what Dan had to say:
UCLA Chancellor Gene Block and I have been in discussions about the possibility of this tour for more than a year, and, as a result, we were able to execute it with the help of the Pac-12 Conference.
So predictible, Dan. So pathetic, Dan.
Sorry I wasn't more specific about exactly how long a time Chianti had been working on this. I'm sure Commissioner Scott will be pleased to know that Dan and Block were able to "execute" this tour. Oh, and with help from his office, of course.
Never mind that Chianti desperately injects both himself, and even more laughably, our ever-so-interested-in-athletics Chancellor into the conversation. Still, Larry Scott and Ben Howland both managed to speak to the whole China tour, U.C.L.A. Basketball, the importance of our brand, and the Pacific 12 Conference, yet neither Scott nor Howland ever mentioned the name Dan Guerrero. Not once.
Notice that Chianti was mentioned exactly NOWHERE in the article
Not by Scott. Not by Howland.
That's not by accident.

Sister fears her four siblings may have been separated
An Irish woman who says her four siblings are being held in prison in Cairo says she fears her 17-year-old brother may have been separated from his older sisters.
Nasaybi Halawa, whose father is the Imam of Ireland's largest mosque in Dublin, said:
– Nasaybi Halawa
The latest we know is that they are in one of the jails in Cairo. But we do not know if they are all together or whether they have been separated - boys and girls.
It is very hard. We just know that they are being held. We don't know if they have food supplies or water, whether they have slept or whether or not they will be released. If they are not released before 7pm then they will have to wait until another day because of the curfew in Cairo which prevents people walking on the streets after 7pm.

On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve board announced through the American Banker publication it's terminating an enforcement action against East Dubuque Bancshares, which is the holding company that owns East Dubuque Savings Bank.
The Federal Reserve's enforcement went into effect in 2010. Since then, East Dubuque Bancshares and EDSB have examined the ways they operate and lend and made staffing and office size decisions.
EDSB currently has $150 million in assets, employs 48 people and has offices in Dubuque and East Dubuque.
The bank's president Lori Thielen said, "This is very good news for EDSB, its board, employees and customers. Our efforts to recover from the difficult times we faced in 2009 and 2010 have paid off."
EDSB is a locally-owned community bank founded in 1891. It now has offices in Dubuque and East Dubuque, Ill.

The Columbia Basin College women were hoping to lock up the No. 2 seed to the NWAACC tournament beginning March 1 at Toyota Center and build some momentum to defend their NWAACC title.
But after Saturdays 70-59 loss to Spokane in Pasco, the Hawks have to wonder if theyre ready for the emotion and physicality of the three-day postseason test of toughness.
They didnt pass against the Sasquatch, who pounded the ball inside in the second half to avenge a loss to the Hawks in Spokane on Jan. 26.
But CBC coach Cheryl Holden, who led many of the same Columbia Basin players to the schools third NWAACC championship last year, isnt ready to panic yet.
The second round is always tougher. Things change, you get to know the teams and everybody fights a little harder, Holden said. And everybody wants to take us down.
CBC (13-12 overall, 9-4 NWAACC East) still holds a one-game lead over Spokane for the No. 2 seed out of the East. But if the Hawks lose their final game at Treasure Valley CC in Ontario, Ore. on Tuesday and Spokane (15-10, 8-5) can win at home against Yakima Valley (14-11, 7-5), that would set up a tiebreaker for the No. 2 spot. The two are tied head-to-head, and if theres a tie in the quality wins category, the Sasquatch would get the No. 2 seed based on a predetermined draw.
The Hawks started the game well, as Hannah Depew converted a three-point play after taking the ball aggressively to the hole in the first 1:39. She scored four more points over the next 2 minutes to give CBC a 12-9 advantage.
But Spokane used an 11-2 run, fueled by a couple of transition buckets by Riley Holsinger, to grab a 20-14 lead with 11:27 left in the first half.
The Hawks pulled to within 34-33 on a 3-pointer by Kellie Ross. The Sasquatch went up 36-33 after Hanford graduate Morgan Freeman grabbed an offensive rebound and scored the putback, but Alicia Jones swept the lane for a layin, again bringing the Hawks to within one point with three seconds left in the half.
But when Jorden Brons put up a last-second, desparation heave from 28 feet out, Brenda Bingham was called for the foul, and Brons drilled all three foul shots to give Spokane a 39-35 lead.
We havent been playing very good defense. Weve got to figure it out and come out and play strong together, Holden said.
Kelsey Yenney came out firing for CBC in the second half, hitting three 3-pointers in the first 5:31 to pull the Hawks within 49-48.
But Freeman helped Spokane put together a 12-2 run, scoring six points during a 2 1/2 minute stretch, to put the Sasquatch up 62-50 eiyh 9:38 left in the game. Freeman, a 6-foot post, finished with 10 points on 5-of-6 shooting and four rebounds in just over 11 minutes.
It was a little intimidating because this is my home, and they killed us at our place, Freeman said. But we started driving more in the second half and kicking the ball inside. They didnt have as many bigs as we do.
Holsinger was a killer, leading both sides with 18 points and 13 rebounds. She also dished out three assists.
Were kind of a Jekyll and Hyde team. Weve played really well at times, but its funny when we want to play defense, were hard to beat, said Spokane coach Bruce Johnson. They tried to press us, and we got some passes over the top to Morgan.
She was huge. She does a great job scoring for us. Shes not as good on defense as Tamar (Williams), but shes been key for us.
Jones, a 5-9 sophomore center, led the Hawks with 13 points and 10 rebounds despite being pinched inside by bigger opponents.
They came out harder than we did, and we didnt play together, Jones said.

PHOTO CALL: Lombardi, Starring Dan Lauria, Opens on Broadway
Lombardi, Eric Simonson's biographical sports play that takes audiences to the living room, locker room and gridiron of football coach Vince Lombardi, opened at Broadway's Circle in the Square Theatre Oct. 21 following previews from Sept. 23.
Director Thomas Kail (a Tony Award nominee for In the Heights) uses shafts of light, video projections (still shots, sports footage, animation) and the entire breadth of the venue's in-the-round stage to tell the tale of the passionate Brooklynite who led the Green Bay Packers to Super Bowl victory more than once.
Lombardi is drawn from the best-selling biography "When Pride Still Mattered: A Life of Vince Lombardi" by David Maraniss. The play is set over a week in 1965 — five years before Lombardi's death from colon cancer at age 57. The play shifts back and forth in time.
Here is a look at the opening night:
Nobbs' Michael McCormick is the audience's way into Lombard's world, which is populated by three representative football players: Jim Taylor (played by Chris Sullivan), Paul Hornung (played by Bill Dawes) and Dave Robinson (played by Robert Christopher Riley). The understudies are Jeff Still, Henny Russell, Brad Schmidt and Javon Johnson.
Tickets can be purchased online at www.telecharge.com, by phone at (212) 239-6200, or in person at the box office (50th Street, west of Broadway). Visit www.lombardibroadway.com.

Gail Simmons knows all about Mommy Happy Hour. The Top Chef judge had her first child, daughter Dahlia, late last year with husband, music exec Jeremy Abrams. When life, which includes a job as special-projects manager for Food and Wine magazine, gets a bit overloaded, she has no issue with yanking out a bottle. It's all part of another side gig, as national ambassador for Estancia Wines. We spoke to the culinary expert, who will be celebrating her first Mother's Day:
Do you have advice for any of us trying to juggle it all?
It's always difficult to balance time for family, exercise and healthy eating on the go, so I plan ways to incorporate them all together. I try to make time for outdoor fun at least once a week: a hike, a family baseball game or a walk in the park after dinner. Then we reward ourselves with a healthy treat. My favorite way to unwind at the end of a busy day is to prepare dinner. I love to turn on music, pour myself a glass of pinot noir and get cooking.
Can you give some entertaining tips for the time-pressed?
Don't stress! I like to prepare easy meals, like fresh tacos with chardonnay, so my guests can join in on the fun and creativity of cooking. I lay out an abundant display of toppings allowing guests to assemble their own.
What is your favorite wine?
I love the Estancia Monterey Country Pinot Noir, it is so versatile and pairs with many of my favorite dishes. With aromas of raspberry, cherry and warm spices, it has a great balance and a silky finish.
What is your favorite thing about being a mom?
I'm not a morning person, but waking up to her makes me one. She's so silly and happy, and she is at that stage where she's starting to laugh and giggle and really play. She's changing so quickly. It is amazing to watch. Every day is sort of a new adventure.
What other projects do you have going on?
I have so many things going on! I am the Estancia winery ambassador, which is really exciting because I get to create delicious recipes and pair them with their fabulous wines. It's a fun job, to say the least! I'm also back at work, shooting two new shows, which are both premiering this summer. I just finished shooting with Curtis Stone for Top Chef Duels, which is Bravo's newest member of the Top Chef family, and it is really exciting. It's a totally new format where some of our favorite past contestants go head to head in amazing, epic culinary battles. I'm also shooting The Feed for a new network from A&E launching in July called FYI. It's unlike any show I've ever done before. It's silly and fun, and all about food and current trends, but it doesn't take itself too seriously. It's part culinary adventure and part talk show. I do it with Chef Marcus Samuelsson and an amazing young comedian named Max Silvestri, and the three of us have so much fun together. It's a complete departure from anything I have ever done, and I can't wait for people to see it.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
The Southeast Face is home to some of the most popular multi-pitch outings on Greyrock. Generally, routes on the left (more southern) aspect of this face are broken between ledges and nice slabs and faces, while routes on the more northern aspect are more sustained in nature. The rock on the Southeast Face is excellent, and peppered with the occasional tree or bush, offering some options for retreat by rappel if necessary. For Fort Collins trad climbers, quality routes like Greatest Route and Barfy's Favorite make Greyrock's Southeast Face a wall not to be missed.
Getting There
To reach the Southeast Face of Greyrock, follow the Summit trail until reaching a burnt-out area with a large group of aspen trees. Break uphill to the base of the face. Locating the Greatest Route is good starting point, as most of the routes on this website are described with reference to it; Simon and Theodore are located to the south at a nice grassy area, while Barfy's Favorite and others are located to the north.

Nebraska Public Power District got a newly constructed transmission line up and running Monday.
The 345,000-kilovolt transmission line runs from Axtell to Kansas for 53 miles and is needed to help ease the bottleneck that existed in the regional transmission grid. The line is also supposed to be more reliable in an ice or wind storm because of its north-south pathway.
The project began in 2009 and had to go through the process of public hearings, many meetings and the actual construction process, which took about one year.
would like to thank the public, and especially the landowners along the line
route, for their cooperation," said NPPD's Senior Project Manager Craig Holthe.
"Much of the reason why this project has gone so smoothly can be attributed to
their support and willingness to keep open lines of communication with us. We
expect this to be the beginning of a long-standing relationship."
Axtell to Kansas project was initially budgeted at $77 million. Final costs and
associated payments have not yet tallied, but it is believed that the project will come in under budget.

12 Tax Planning Ideas for Companies
The following is a check list of tax planning areas for companies. It is not intended to be an exhaustive list.
1. Patent income
Review activities of company to establish if a patent can be taken out in respect of any of the company's activities or products.
Consider transferring patent to a separate patent holding company in order to provide shareholders with a tax free dividend.
2. Pre-trading expenses
Certain expenditure incurred 3 years prior to the commencement of the trade is now allowable for tax purposes under Section 82 TCA 1997. Accordingly, please ensure any expenses incurred prior to the commencement of the trade are properly recorded and documented.
3. Repairs and maintenance
Under certain circumstances, repairs and maintenance are not allowed in the first year of trading. Careful attention should be given to the expenditure on repairs and maintenance to see if it should be capitalised to obtain capital allowances.
In later years, the amount of expenditure on repairs and maintenance should be written off in the Profit & Loss Account to ensure a tax deduction in that year. If it were capitalised, the tax deduction for the expenditure would be spread out over later years through capital allowances.
4. Timing of expenditure
At year end, thought should be given to bringing forward any proposed expenditure by the company in order to claim a tax deduction in the current year as opposed to the following year.
5. Balancing charges
Where machinery or plant is sold and is replaced a taxpayer may elect to reduce the cost of the new item by the amount of the balancing charge arising on the disposal of the old item under Section 290 TCA 1997. This effectively defers the balancing charge to later years.
6. Capital allowances on leasehold improvements
Capital allowances are not available on non-industrial buildings (except for designated areas). Accordingly, in the finalisation of accounts, careful consideration should be given to transferring as much expenditure as possible from "buildings" to leasehold improvements and fixtures and fittings on which capital allowances can be claimed.
7. Group relief
Where a person does business through more than one company, consideration should be given to forming a group for corporation tax purposes. This can be done by inserting a holding company or by having one of the companies as a subsidiary of the other.
The advantages of forming a group include transfer of losses from a non-profitable to a profitable company, group payments without deduction of tax and the option to apply to be treated as a VAT group.
8. Pension contributions
At year end, consideration should be given to increasing the pension contributions to executive pension schemes for shareholders and directors as a tax efficient means of withdrawing money from the company. The company can obtain a tax deduction for the contributions and the employee is not taxed on the contributions as a benefit in kind. It is important to note that the company must actually pay the pension contribution prior to the end of the accounting period to secure a corporation tax deduction in the period.
Consideration should also be given to forming a self-administered pension scheme to increase control.
9. Termination payments
Where an employee is leaving the company, consideration should be given to maximising the termination or gratuity payment. Such payments often attract generous tax treatment. It is important to note that normal salary entitlements under the contract of employment (e.g. holiday pay or pay in lieu of notice) must be paid through the payroll as normal and cannot be channelled through the termination payment.
10. Business Expansion Scheme/Seed Capital Investment Scheme
Manufacturing companies and other qualifying companies should consider raising funds through the Business Expansion Scheme (BES). Directors or existing shareholders can invest themselves subject to various conditions. Individuals setting up qualifying companies can reclaim income tax for any of the six years immediately preceding the year in which the investment is made under the Seed Capital Investment Scheme.
11. Interest relief
Interest relief is available to individuals who borrow funds to subscribe or lend money to certain companies. Accordingly, shareholders should ensure that they are obtaining interest relief where possible in respect of such loans.
12. Research and development
A tax credit of 25% is available in certain circumstances for companies in respect of expenditure on research and development (R&D) activities. R&D activities are defined as "systematic, investigative or experimental activities in a field of science or technology, being basic research, applied research or experimental development".

Liam Byrne never rebelled against their party in this parliament
I, too, welcome the Secretary of State's statement, but it is important that nobody shirks their responsibilities. Park View trust was an academy for almost two years, and chapter nine of the report paints a sorry picture of the Department's oversight. I hope she thinks it appropriate to apologise for those failures today and that she asks Les Lawrence to do the same. I welcome...
Everyone in this House condemns the rocket attacks, but the Israeli defence force is firing the most dangerous of weapons in the most dense of communities, and it is very clear that Secretary Kerry and Ban Ki-moon think that not enough is being done to minimise civilian casualties. Does the Prime Minister accept that analysis? What we really want to know in this House is what he will do...
The Secretary of State will know that I have worked for five months to uncover problems at Park View school. The leader of Birmingham city council has apologised for the city's role in the historic failures. Will she apologise to my constituents for what Peter Clarke has called the "benign neglect" of Park View since it became an academy two years ago, and will she respond...

The Virginia field hockey team saw its season come to an end with a 5-2 loss against Princeton in the NCAA quarterfinals Sunday at University Hall Turf Field.
UVA ends the year with a record of 16-6.
Senior Paige Selenski says, "They're a great defensive team all around. They don't really have any weaknesses on their field. I think that was a struggle for us. We had the right game plan, and we started off strong, but we needed to maintain that the whole game, and we didn't."
Senior Michelle Vittese adds, "If you can get a jump on them, and get their confidence lower, in the beginning of the game, I think the game changes in our favor, but unfortunately we didn't go with intensity for the entire time."
The Cavaliers jumped out to a 2-1 lead in the opening 5 minutes, as goals by Rachael Sumfest and Elly Buckley bookended one from Princeton.
But the 2-seed Tigers would pitch a shutout the rest of the match.
Princeton tied the game on a Sydney Kirby goal 9:13 into the game, and took the lead on a Katie Reinprecht score at the 16:11 mark.
Kathleen Sharkey scored twice in the 2nd half.
Vittese says, "Player for player, we're just as good. I still believe that, to be honest, I think they're a more cohesive team than we are. In the game they interchange really well, and they play through the lines very, very well, and unfortunately we couldn't match that."
The loss to the Tigers is the first NCAA tournament defeat for UVA on its home field.
The Wahoos have appeared in the NCAA's 18 times, and six times in seven seasons under head coach Michele Madison.
Virginia was looking to make the national semifinals for the 5th time in program history (1997, 1998, 2009, 2010).
UVA senior Paige Selenski was held scoreless against Princeton, and finishes with 100 career goals, one shy of Meredith Thorpe's all time UVA mark (1995-98).
Selenski says, "I think we grew as a team through the season, so I think that's a positive look on things, and hopefully they can take that forward going into next year."

I showed this letter to my senior citizen neighbors and they said it wouldn't be printed.
When I was in my 20s, the government said, "SAVE your money for your old age. STAY at your job to get a pension for your old age." There was no unemployment and welfare was rare. I did as told.

Rowan University awards COE student researchers
Rowan University presented its 2013 Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Research and $500 to senior mechanical engineering students Joseph Calogero of Bridgewater, N.J., and Ryan Bandura of Washington Township, N.J.
The University presented the annual award to the students for their work on "Plug-In Rechargeable Electric Vehicle Systems (PREVS)," a novel design of electric vehicle charging stations.
For three semesters, Calogero and Bandura led a team of three other students majoring in electrical and computer engineering and computer science. The team conceived and executed an independent research project, obtained competitively awarded internal funding, constructed multiple prototypes, and published and presented their findings at conferences sponsored by the American Society for Engineering Education, according to the group's advisor, chemical engineering professor Dr. Gautam Pillay.
According to the students, "One of the largest obstacles [to acceptance of electric vehicles] is charging availability. In addition, potential electric vehicle customers are deterred by 'range anxiety,' a result of limited range in conjunction with extensive charging time. Inability to instantaneously 'fill the tank' only amplifies the issue of reduced range. This issue became the focus of our entrepreneurial engineering clinic project starting in spring 2011. We then continued the idea through junior and senior engineering clinic."
The team devised a charging station that could help to ease range anxiety and developed a system that could streamline the charging process, deter vandalism and survive natural disasters. Their creation is a subterranean enclosure capable of autonomously charging vehicles with very little human interaction, using the vehicle's built-in Bluetooth to communicate with the device and to extend a charging arm, making contact with a port under the vehicle.
"The concept has significant potential and also serves as a powerful example of how undergraduate students can create a solution to a major problem in society, obtain funding and lead research independently for an extended period of time," Calogero explained. "I hope other students and faculty at Rowan and other engineering schools can be inspired by our story and seek opportunities similar to what we were given and the experiences we gained. I'm very excited to be honored with the recognition of this award."
"Although our team will not be continuing the work on this project, we concluded that this is a viable technology, and future work would have merit. Joe and I will be continuing our engineering education in graduate school, and this project helped us prepare better to continue our studies at the next level," said Bandura.
Calogero will be attending The Pennsylvania State University in the fall of 2013 to begin working towards his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering. Bandura has been accepted to pursue his master's degree at several prestigious institutions.

Hazmat teams spent hours Wednesday along Franklin Street in Charlottesville, where investigators say they found a meth lab inside an apartment building.
Police say three people were detained that day but later released. Friday, Charlottesville police told NBC29 one of those people was arrested on an unrelated distribution charge. A grand jury will not decide until October 21 whether he will be charged for Wednesday's bust.
An ongoing investigation confirmed to authorities there was a meth lab inside the apartment building in the 700 block of Franklin, but neighbors say it was no secret to them either.
"It isn't shocking. It's been well known. They're free and open with it, they tell you that they have the juice or whatever," one neighbor said.
Members of Jefferson Area Drug Enforcement task force executed a search warrant around 10:15 a.m. in the apartment building. Police say meth wasn't being cooked at the time. As several people stopped and stared to get a look at the investigation for themselves, neighbors say just the thought of what could have gone wrong is troubling.
"That was my first fear after I talked to my sister-in-law that if it blew up what was going to happen or who was going to be hurt or what not," said Kim Moses, who lives in the neighborhood.
Lieutenant Ronnie Roberts of the Charlottesville Police Department said, "The other side of it too is the inhaling some of those chemicals can be very life threatening also."
Several neighbors we spoke with said they had thought about calling law enforcement.
"Because they say the girl was pregnant or something and they thought about calling the police because her drinking the juice and being pregnant ain't good. I don't know even know what the juice is, it's some kind of meth or something they make themselves," said the neighbor who wished to remain anonymous.
Police have not said what led them to the apartment building or how long they've been investigating.

News: Tiny Busted For Giving T.I. Whatever He Likes, "She Made Like Michael Jackson & Beat It"
Thursday, Jan 6, 2011 8:42AM
Incarcerated rapper T.I. was reportedly punished last weekend for conducting inappropriate sexual acts with his wife Tiny in an Arkansas prison.
Details of the conjugal incident landed online Thursday (January 6) morning.
Rapper T.I. got in some serious trouble with prison officials this weekend -- after guards caught the most famous inmate in Arkansas getting "frisky" with his wife during visiting hours ... TMZ has learned. T.I.'s wife Tiny confirms ... the two were in a room together during regular visiting hours at Arkansas State Prison when Tiny made like Michael Jackson ... and 'beat it'. Tiny says she hasn't spoken to T.I. since the incident -- but she's hopeful she'll be allowed to visit again soon ... as long as she keeps her hand to herself. (TMZ)
The incident reportedly resulted in T.I. being placed under stricter security measures.
According to state prison guidelines, inmates are allowed to kiss and embrace at the beginning and at the end of a visit as well as hold hands in there. However, "the inmate's hands must remain in plain view of staff at all times." Same goes for the visitors. In his pants doesn't cut it apparently. Tiny confirms that as a result of this stroke of bad luck, T.I. was sent to a "Special Housing Unit" consisting of more security and less freedom. (The Hollywood Gossip)
T.I. began his 11-month jail sentence in early November for a probation violation.
T.I. will not be allowed to leave the Northern District of Georgia without consent from the probation office after release. In order to travel at all he would need to prove that it is related to his career and it could only be in the U.S., not outside of the country. If he is granted permission to leave Atlanta he will be prohibited from being gone for over seven days a month. In addition he won't be allowed to drive a vehicle, own any dangerous weapons including a firearm and he must participate in a drug and alcohol testing and treatment program. (XXL Mag)
Following the start of his sentence, T.I. released a statement to fans speaking on his experiences in jail.
"This experience is truly a pain I have never felt before and that's saying a lot for a n*gga who's been down locked up as many times as I have," Tip wrote. "I see this as a real a** whoopin'. The kind you don't just go back outside to play afterwards. You take ya ass to bed and don't come out of your room until it's time to go to school...I don't know what effect this will have on my life moving forward but I'm certainly sick and motherf*cking tired of going to jail, juve, trison, the pen, correctional facilities or whatever else you want to call it...I'd have been better off doing a 5-10 year bid one time than going in time and time again for days, weeks and months for the last 15 years of my life."

Here is a the pie chart from this round:
Here's the who voted for what data:
In this game, the option was given to make a 2nd choice, but not many folks did. The results:
Well, that's where we were last week. I'd venture to say we may see different results if we did it again Wednesday.
Below are the March 4th results, for comparison purposes:
Make of it what you will (big jump in Trade predictions, Newton jumps Gabbert, etc).
Finally, here is a link to the original post if you want to read comments associated with picks.
I've gotta get out of these handcuffs... Charlie won't shut up, and Jigsaw's tape said he swallowed the dang key. Do I have the patience to wait for the key? Ooh... there's a hacksaw, and there's a gun, and (yay) duck tape.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate has passed historic
immigration legislation offering the hope of American citizenship to
millions, while promising a military-style surge to secure the border.
The vote was 68-32, far more than the majority
needed to send the measure to the House. Prospects there are not nearly
as good and many conservatives are opposed.
Sen. Mark Pryor (D-AR) supported the measure while Sen. John Boozman (R-AR) opposed it. You can read statements from each below this article.
Vice President Joe Biden presided, and senators cast their votes from their desks, both steps reserved for momentous votes.
The bill, a priority for President Barack Obama,
would amount to the most sweeping changes in decades to the nation's
immigration laws.
the Senate reached across party lines to strengthen our nation by passing the
strongest border security bill in history. Those who have been in the shadows
for decades will be taking responsibility for their actions by paying owed
taxes, fines, and penalties; contributing to Social Security; helping reduce
our deficit; and strengthening our economy."
--Sen. Mark Pryor (D-AR)
"There is no disputing that we need to
address our nation's porous borders, backlogged immigration system and lax
enforcement of hiring practices. Unfortunately, the Senate's legalize now,
enforce later approach is the wrong way to reform our broken system.
"This legislation fails to address the core
problem of border security and does not provide the resources necessary for
enforcement. This needs to be the cornerstone for reform. Instead of listening
to the demands of the American people by focusing on securing the border,
Majority Leader Reid offered immediate amnesty with a 'promise' of future
security enhancements that will likely never happen.
"Congress approved amnesty in the mid-1980s.
It didn't work then and it won't work now.
"I appreciate the efforts of my colleagues
to fix our immigration system, but the American people deserve a solution that
upholds the rule of law. They also deserve a more vigorous debate than we were
allowed to have by Majority Leader Reid. There were a number of amendments that
were offered that would have strengthened this bill, but Leader Reid shut down
debate and did not allow us to consider them.
"Immigration reform is a serious subject. It
deserves a serious debate. Instead, we are left with another instance of
Washington's rush to do something, instead of doing the right thing."
--Sen. John Boozman (R-AR)

Chesterton Tribune
Chesterton Boys Soccer beats Lake Central
By TR HARLAN
Chesterton boys soccer coach Jamie Sensibaugh made his feelings known at
halftime Wednesday night against Lake Central.
How did his team respond?
The Trojans may have turned in one of their best second half's of the season
en route to a 3-1 Duneland Athletic Conference victory.
"I don't think we had a good first half," Sensibaugh said. "We didn't
possess the ball like I'd like and we weren't very dangerous. LC is a good,
strong program. We knew they'd come out and play hard and physical."
The Trojans opened up the scoring with 18:51 left to play in the first half
when Jonathan Blake found Billy Biehl behind the defense for a 1-0
Chesterton lead.
"We've been moving Billy and Jonathan around and this was a game where I
thought Kody (Lobsiger) needed to be in the midfield because he's so good
defensively," Sensibaugh said. "I thought we could get Billy in, with his
quickness, directly on them. And we did."
Lake Central scored with 4:10 to go before halftime on a goal by Shane
"I wasn't happy with the mistake we made on their goal," Sensibaugh said.
"It's exactly the same play that we had trouble with at Crown Point and I
thought we'd fixed it. I wasn't very happy about that."
After the break, John Ward scored off a pass from Lobsiger just seven
minutes in and Blake scored with just 4:25 left off a Zach Froman assist to
set the final score.
"The second half was totally different," Sensibaugh said. "I think LC was a
little tired and we were far more dangerous. I challenged them at halftime.
They responded I think and played the way I know we're capable of."
Caleb Gmyrek recorded three saves as Chesterton outshot LC 15-4 on the
Chesterton 3,
Lake Central 1
Lake Central -- Everett Sanders 1 goal; Tim Ritchie 12 saves.
Chesterton -- Billy Biehl 1 goal; John Ward 1 goal; Jonathan Blake 1 goal, 1
assist; Zach Froman 1 assist; Kody Lobsiger 1 assist; Caleb Gmyrek 3 saves.
Record: Chesterton 7-3 (3-2 DAC).

Defense Acquisitions:
2009 Review of Future Combat System Is Critical to Program's Direction
GAO-08-638T: Published: Apr 10, 2008. Publicly Released: Apr 10, 2008.

The Future Combat System (FCS) program--which comprises 14 integrated weapon systems and an advanced information network--is the centerpiece of the Army's effort to transition to a lighter, more agile, and more capable combat force. The substantial technical challenges, the Army's acquisition strategy, and the cost of the program are among the reasons why the program is recognized as needing special oversight and review. This testimony is based on GAO's two March 2008 reports on FCS and addresses (1) how the definition, development, and demonstration of FCS capabilities are proceeding, particularly in light of the go/no-go decision scheduled for 2009; (2) the Army's plans for making production commitments for FCS and any risks related to the completion of development; and (3) the estimated costs for developing and producing FCS.
Today, the FCS program is about halfway through its development phase, yet it is, in many respects, a program closer to the beginning of development. This portends additional cost increases and delays as FCS begins what is traditionally the most expensive and problematic phase of development. In the key areas of defining and developing FCS capabilities, requirements definition is still fluid, critical technologies are immature, software development is in its early stages, the information network is still years from being demonstrated, and complementary programs are at risk for not meeting the FCS schedule. It is not yet clear if or when the information network that is at the heart of the FCS concept can be developed, built, and demonstrated. Yet, the time frame for completing FCS development is ambitious; even if all goes as planned, the program will not test production-representative prototypes or fully demonstrate the system of systems until after low rate production begins. Even though the development of FCS will finish late in its schedule, commitments to production will come early. Production funding for the first spinout of FCS technologies and the early version of the FCS cannon begin in fiscal years 2008 and 2009. Production money for the core FCS systems will be requested beginning in February 2010, with the DOD fiscal year 2011 budget request--just months after the go/no-go review and before the stability of the design is determined at the critical design review. In fact, by the time of the FCS production decision in 2013, a total of about $39 billion, which comprises research and development and production costs, will already have been appropriated for the program, with another $8 billion requested. Also, the Army plans to contract with its lead system integrator for the initial FCS production, a change from the Army's original rationale for using an integrator. This increases the burden of oversight faced by the Army and the Office of the Secretary of Defense. While the Army's cost estimates for the FCS program remain about the same as last year--$160.9 billion--the content of the program has been reduced, representing a reduction in buying power for the Army. The level of knowledge for the program does not support a confident estimate, and cost estimates made by two independent organizations are significantly higher. Competing demands from within the Army and DOD limits the ability to fund higher FCS costs. Thus, the Army will likely continue to reduce FCS capabilities in order to stay within available funding limits. Accordingly, FCS's demonstrated performance, the reasonableness of its remaining work, and the resources it will need and can reasonably expect will be of paramount importance at the 2009 milestone review for the FCS program.
