April 18, 2005
The Riverview at Dobson debate returns to Maricopa County Superior Court today for a hearing that may determine how much information the project's opposition will be forced to reveal.
But even if the court grants developers' wishes to take depositions of former Mesa legislator Jeff Groscost and three members of Valley Business Owners (and Concerned Citizens) — the group that forced the Riverview issue to a vote through a successful referendum effort — it's unknown whether the depositions would take place before the May 17 election.
Groscost has filed a motion to quash his subpoena.
On the other side, Valley Business Owners attorney Tom Irvine has called Riverview supporter Mesa City Councilman Mike Whalen to be deposed.
This hearing is the latest legal step in the Nov. 24 defamation lawsuit filed by Riverview developers Kimco Developers and De Rito Partners Development against Valley Business Owners members David Molina and Jan Hibbard. The complaint accuses Molina and Hibbard of using racist tactics and implying the developers violated openmeeting laws when handing out fliers encouraging people to sign the referendum petitions.
On March 21, attorneys representing the Riverview developers delayed the depositions because Valley Business Owners has refused to release subpoenaed documents about the organization.
A court document filed by Valley Business Owners on March 11 — the same day Molina started his deposition — reveals that Groscost had given a reported $32,000 to the group since July, including a $19,000 payment in November that nearly equaled the amount spent to gather signatures.
The document also reveals that Mesa lawyer David Udall — as a representative of the Riverview developers — offered Valley Business Owners members money to end their opposition to the project.
A Feb. 28 court decision in this lawsuit allowed the depositions to move forward, but now the debate is about the extent to which developers' attorneys may question the defendants.
Today is the deadline for Mesa voters to register to vote in the election.

DJ Kay Slay Feat. Termanology, Chris Rivers, William Young & Papoose "Enter The Cypher" Video
Posted May 3, 2014 at 07:48 PM
DJ Kay Slay invites Termanology, Chris Rivers, William Young & Papoose to "Enter The Cypher."
DJ Kay Slay's been known to assemble some hip-hop dream teams for his videos, and the visual for "Enter The Cypher" is no different. Termanology, Chris Rivers, William Young and Papoose all spit on the previously-released track, and turn up in the video to reprise their verses in front of a graffiti'd wall.
Kay Slay comes through with an instrumental that seems to borrow the synth from Lloyd Banks' "On Fire," which is a supremely dope track to sample. In his verse, Termanology big-ups Cassidy with the line: "lookin' ass bitches, shout-out to Cassidy."
Who do you think had the best verse on this one fam?

Your Custom-Fit Prosthetic Is Ready
Engineers can replicate missing body parts for amputees, but re-creating the abilities of lost limbs is a more complex feat. Advances in engineering are making prostheses more functional and giving users richer lives.
By Sarah Fecht
Reclaiming Careers
For carpenters who've lost fingers, hand prostheses are too clumsy to allow them to keep working. Biomedical engineer Michael Morley, founder of ProSolutions, developed a prosthesis that restores the ability to swing a hammer, turn a screwdriver, and pull a handsaw. The best part? It costs only $20.

"I think we need to lean forward with NATO forces in Eastern Europe, particularly bringing back the missile defense program in Poland, so that the bully can see that the kid he just punched in the nose is going to fight back".
Vice President Joe Biden is in Lithuania to reassure Baltic leaders that the U.S. is committed to defending its NATO allies in the face of Russia's intervention in Crimea.

Gluten-Free Foods And Beverages In The U.S., 4th Edition
NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
Gluten-Free Foods and Beverages in the U.S., 4th Edition
The market for gluten-free foods and beverages has continued to grow even faster than anticipated, reaching $4.2 billion in 2012, for a compound annual growth rate of 28% over the 2008-2012 period. Within this diverse market, snack/granola bars are the leading category, at 15% of mass-market sales.An August 2012 consumer survey by Packaged Facts shows that 18% of adults are buying or consuming foods products tagged as gluten-free, up from 15% in October 2010. Moreover, the share of gluten-free consumers who are buying more of these foods has skyrocketed, and the share of total shoppers who are buying more gluten-free foods has doubled. The conviction that gluten-free products are generally healthier is the top motivation for consumers of these products. Increasing diagnoses of celiac disease and food allergies; growing awareness of these ailments among patients, healthcare practitioners, and the general public; the availability of more products, and better ones, across a range of product categories; and a trend that has friends and family members eating gluten-free to support loved ones are among the factors stimulating continuing expansion in this market. While growth rates will moderate over the next five years in the wake of market expansion, Packaged Facts projects that U.S. sales of gluten-free foods and beverages will exceed $6.6 billion by 2017. Report Methodology The analysis in Gluten-free Foods and Beverages in the U.S., 4th Edition is based on primary and secondary research. Primary research entailed in-depth, on-site examinations of retail outlets, including Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe's, and grocery store chains; as well as interviews with marketers, retailers, food industry trade associations, celiac advocacy groups, and federal agencies. Our analysis of shopping trends and consumer preferences is derived from Packaged Facts' proprietary consumer survey, which is based on a national online poll conducted in August 2012. Secondary research entailed data gathering from relevant sources, including trade and consumer publications, company literature and annual reports, and government sources.

Alex Pettyfer Talks ENDLESS LOVE, His Approach to the Remake, His Favorite Romantic Films, the Awkwardness of Shooting Love Scenes, and More
by Christina Radish Posted 311 days ago
In this re-imagining of the 1981 film Endless Love (starring Brooke Shields and Martin Hewitt), David Elliot (Alex Pettyfer), the working-class boy from a troubled background, falls for the beautiful Jade Butterfield (Gabriella Wilde) and attempts to prove to her privileged family that he is worthy of her love. When her father (Bruce Greenwood) does everything he can to keep them apart, their love affair becomes reckless, as they give in to their passion.
During a press conference to promote the film, actor Alex Pettyfer talked about finding the right tone, his favorite romantic films, making this version more accessible for audiences, how secure he is about approaching women, working with this cast, how awkward kissing scenes are to shoot, what he remembers about his own first love, and that he's currently unemployed but auditioning. Check out what he had to say after the jump.

Each law firm has its own requirements in relation to the type of staff it wants to have. Some owners give preference to appointing experienced attorneys as well as paralegals and are reluctant to give a chance to newbies. On the other hand, some legal setups look for fresh talent and seek new graduates. Similarly, there are many other requirements associated with legal staff and each employer looks for something special.
When you advertise for available legal staff vacancies in your firm, then chances are that you are going to receive hundreds of CVs and will have to interview a good number of candidates to find the right professionals. This can be a very frustrating and time consuming task where you have to ask the same questions to different applicants and listen to their answers with full consideration. The main thing is that you have to do is persuade the right kind of legal experts to consider the job opportunity that you are offering. This is a difficult task, but it is not impossible. Professional help in this regard can be very useful and for this reason it is advised that you should consider availing the services that are provided by legal recruitment agencies. They have "search and selection teams" that consist of experienced professionals, which will understand your requirements and budget and then accordingly create a list of compatible candidates that will be presented to you.In this manner things will be simplified to a great extent and you will be saved yourself from a huge headache.

A century ago, it must have been quite exciting to invent something that was truly useful and could be built in a garage. But it's always been tough, requiring years of perseverance. Edison figured out how to make a real light bulb and the phonograph; the Wright Brothers knew how to get an airplane off the ground. Tesla knew how to generate AC electricity. It's not that invention is dead-far from it. It's just that it's become far more "nichey" for individuals, who concentrate on making a better appliance or cleaning aid or fishing lure. In business, it more likely involves making something that already works, work better. Better insulation, better fuel economy, better mud additive, better wireline add-on.
I'm not belittling modern-day inventors, but the really big inventions that changed civilization profoundly seem to occur less often. Perhaps this is because the problems to solve are really tough, especially in the energy arena.

One particular moment doesn't stand out about the MedicineX conference at Stanford University this past week. Instead, it was all of the moments!
What I keep coming back to in my mind is the recurring theme of this event: that the voice of the patient is incredibly meaningful, and should be a part of the healthcare process, from beginning to end.
That, IMHO, is was what the three-day MedX conference was all about. A few hundred people came together Sept. 28-30 at the Stanford School of Medicine in Palo Alto, CA. They represented all the stakeholders in the healthcare world: policy-makers, designers, idea innovators, company CEOs, start-up entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, researchers, clinicians, and of course… patients! Many patients.
Thanks to our parent company Alliance Health Networks, that offered over 30 scholarships for e-patients to attend, our patient perspectives made up 10% of the audience. Scholarship winners also spent a lot of time at the microphone (!), giving speeches, and participating in panel discussions and in workshops. And of course we were active on Twitter — using the #MedX hashtag, for those interested in checking out the tweets.
An amazing aspect is that through what's called the Global Access Program, the whole event was streamed live online for anyone to watch. Those videos are now online for easy viewing.
While this conference focused on the larger healthcare system and a broad lineup of conditions, diabetes certainly had a presence at MedX, from e-patient D-bloggers to presenters like Dr. Joyce Lee who's research director at MyGlu, and Sonny Vu who helped create the iBGStar during his time at AgraMatrix.
And there were so many D-mentions in various discussions and presentations… which may have included an offhand reference to diabetes being "a plague of humanity"… which ignited some very interesting Twitter conversations!
Some highlights from our time at MedX:
e-Patient Participation
Hands down, this was the biggest highlight of the event.
Many of us cherished the opportunity to not only meet each other for the first time in real life, but also to partake in IRL conversations about what we do and how we go about it in our various disease communities.
A new friend who was one of the e-patient scholarship winners is Britt Johnson Moody, who lives with chronic arthritis and is known online through her advocacy at The Hurt Blogger. She offered this definition for an e-patient: A specialist and expert who is highly educated in his or her own medical condition(s) and who uses information technologies (e.g., Internet tools, social networks, self-tracking tools) in managing their health, and learning from and teaching others.
She also offered a definition for the Stanford Medicine X, Alliance Health Networks e-patient scholar in particular: An educator and role model for other patients and health care stakeholders.
A handful of those patients were selected to give a five-minute presentations, sharing their stories, and in many cases, they moved the audience to tears. Every single one was inspiring, including the powerful presentation by nationally-known advocate and "Walking Gallery" artist Regina Holliday.
A theme of many discussions (no surprise!) was that U.S. healthcare is largely broken because it's too much of a transactional system stuck in the past and not willing to change. Going forward, we need to change the old paradigm of having a doctor being the one in charge who knows all, dictates instructions, and expects compliance. No, there needs to be more interaction and collaboration with the patient, where treatment is personalized for the individual.
The same applies in device design or hospital room layout; it needs to be patient-centered design from the first to last step, and not just something new and whizzy that may be someone's resume-booster or fodder for a design award.
On Day 2, an incredibly inspirational speech came from Michael Graves, an iconic architect and designer who is paralyzed from chest down and uses a wheelchair. He had such horrible experiences in hospitals that he began a campaign to change hospital room environments and make them more comfortable and "human-friendly."
"After eight hospitals, four rehab centers, and a nine-hour surgery, what could I do as an architect to make life in the patient room better?" he asked in his presentation. "That's where I'd spent my time. It wasn't exactly Third World, but it wasn't far from it. I thought that in this country, we just can't put up with this, so I endeavored to do something about it."
Patient-Designed Care
On the first day, the patients were split into two groups – one at Stanford for a self-tracking symposium and the other group at the headquarters of IDEO, one of the world's top design firms that's located right near campus. They ran an IDEO Design Challenge modeled after last year's DiabetesMine Innovation Summit program, that brought about 30 of us together for a day-long design workshop. That's where Amy and I spent Friday.
So not only did we get a snapshot of the Stanford campus where all that technology magic happens, but we also got an inside view of IDEO's ueber-creative HQ – where bikes hang from the ceiling above desks and a green Volvo van has been hollowed out and installed as a "meeting space" smack in the middle of one of the building's open work areas.
In our workshop, groups of about five or six people each addressed a specific health problem presented by an e-patient. In our case, it was a woman who lives with a muscular condition that makes it very difficult to stand up from a sitting position. She needed some kind of apparatus or aid to make this easier.
We began by scribbling down ideas on sticky notes, and hammered out ideas throughout the day, not once being told "No" but always encouraged that any idea was worth considering and possibly building upon. We went through a process of refining our idea, constantly checking with the "target audience" (our e-Patient). Then we were presented with a table full of materials — markers, pipe cleaners, fabric, glitter, you name it! — and asked to create a visual representation or prototype of our concept.
By the day's end, our group had created a contraption called the Lift O Stick, which was basically a portable, retractable cane-style device that would use battery power to help lift a person up from a sitting position or help them sit down.
Many other ideas were presented at day's end, including iPads in the hospital room to adapt care to a specific person. We dubbed our work "patient-designed care" instead of the seemingly hollow term "patient-centered care" that seems overused and a touch meaningless these days.
A parting gift included markers and sticky note pads, and honestly I'll never look at a sticky note pad in the same way without wondering "What If?"
Networked Patients, Doctors
Two panels on during the main conference on Saturday and Sunday stood out, to me: the first being the "Networked Patient" panel moderated by our own Amy Tenderich(!) That discussion included: Roni Zeiger, a physician who is Google's former health chief and now CEO of SmartPatients; Dr. Michael Seid from Cincinnati, working on a collaborative network for patients called C3N; and Brian Loew, CEO of the online community Inspire.
A major theme of that discussion was how to get physicians and other professionals "on board" with existing patient-led resources and patient communities. Doctors are currently under-utilizing us patients! Loew made a point that many docs are adopting mobile, online patient networks, but many stalwarts sadly are stuck in a state of "clinical inertia." Amy hopes that we don't have to wait for the next generation of doctors to embrace patient networks, to make that a part of the prescription, and Zeiger offered a pact to make that happen now.
The second fascinating panel that stood out to me was made up of physicians who are already "on board." Panelists were: Wendy Sue Swanson, known as Seattle Mama Doc (@SeattleMamaDoc); Burt Herman, a journalist who co-founded Storify; and Dr. Bryan Vartabedian, who is @DoctorV on Twitter.
These three have embraced social media through twitter and blogs, but a majority in the medical profession haven't. They recount how many docs say they shouldn't use social media because "so much can be misinterpreted," and they feel it's dangerous.
I loved hearing one of the panelists say that "physician literacy for a digital age is way behind where it needs to be," and they just don't understand how to use it, making them effectively illiterate to communicate with their patients effectively — an interesting spin on the whole topic of health literacy.
Swanson said it's a doctor's obligation and responsibility to be online and there's no choice in this tech-savvy healthcare world. She said it's not about asking doctors to do more, but rather to replace their old-school practices with more modern ones using today's tools.
Online communication should be considered just as importantly as a diagnosis code, she said.
With 80% of patient consumers going online and 1.4 billion health-related searches per month through Google, health is the fastest growing mobile category. And it's only going to increase from here. We are all a part of it, and the doctors and designers need to be there with us.
Prescription for Change
On each table in the main hall were battery-powered flame candles, symbolizing how MedX was supposed to ignite the flames of inspiration in our hearts and minds.
Without a doubt, that happened.
This is how I described it in a tweet during the conference: MedX was like someone had bottled up a whole bunch of energy, shaken it up and let it explode into the room.
Before this conference, I can't say I truly understood what it meant to be an e-patient. That's changed.
I feel empowered, inspired, excited to work with those in the healthcare world to make a difference and change how the system functions. And clearly, I'm not the only one who feels this way following MedX.
Dr. Larry Chu, the brilliant mind behind this event who made it happen, said that he wants even more patient voices to be included next year!
That is about as refreshing as it gets. And if I might be so bold to use a cliche here: X marks the spot, and I think MedX is exactly where the treasures are to be found in the thinking that's needed to change this healthcare world.
Regina said it best in her presentation: "If we just talk to each other, we can change health care. You must look at the human face to determine what we do next."

Hamad Bin Jassim dismissed from Qatar Investment Authority
Emir decides to restructure QIA's administrative council, handing vice presidency to his half-brother Prince Abdullah Bin Hamad al-Thani.
Last Update: 03 July 2013, 16:15
Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim al-Thani had already lost his post as foreign and prime minister when the new emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani announced his cabinet on June 26.
The emir decided in a decree to restructure the QIA's administrative council, of which he is the head, handing the vice presidency to his half-brother Prince Abdullah Bin Hamad al-Thani.
The decree also named Finance Minister Ali Sherif al-Emadi and Economy and Trade Minister Ahmed Bin Jassim Bin Mohamed al-Thani to the new administrative council.
A separate decree appointed Ahmad Mohamad al-Sayed, managing director of Qatar Holdings, as executive chairman of the QIA.
The emir also declared the formation of a higher council for economic affairs and investment, which he will head himself, QNA quoted a separate decree on Tuesday as saying.
Several ministers and top officials, consisting of the prime minister and representatives of the QIA and Qatar Development Bank, will sit on the new council.
The QIA, the gas-rich gulf emirate's sovereign wealth fund, has invested billions of dollars in businesses ranging from Germany's Volkswagen to French energy giant Total, Britain's Sainsbury's supermarket chain and Barclays Bank.

Around 2007, I was disillusioned with Hollywood cinema, and a friend pointed me to Kim Ki-duk's Bin-Jip. This became my gateway drug to foreign film, leading to some furious film consumption. It's amazing what you can find when you stray off the mainstream.
For various reasons, my movie-viewing slowed to a crawl in 2011. This list is about 4% of what I've watched, and hopefully you'll find it useful. Keep in mind that the countries are just an arbitrary categorization.

Bears' new-look linebacking corps faces giant challenge in Packers' Rodgers
BY ADAM L. JAHNS email@example.com December 13, 2012 11:23PM
LINEBACKERS: B Lance Briggs (11 tackles, one TFL) and Nick Roach (9 tackles, 2 TFLs ) picked it up with Brian Urlacher out. But one mistake was costly and they were unable to make a big-enough play.

Updated: January 15, 2013 11:44AM
Bears linebackers Nick Roach and Geno Hayes described their first games in their new starting positions similarly after losing 21-14 against the Minnesota Vikings.
"It could have been better because obviously it wasn't good enough because we got beat, but I'll build off of it," Roach said.
"I can't complain about my performance, but we didn't come out with a 'W,' so it wasn't good enough," Hayes said.
Neither Roach, who is in the middle with Brian Urlacher sidelined, nor Hayes, who is on the strong side, had any glaring mistakes against the Vikings. If anything, they performed well after a rough first quarter for the Bears' defense.
"They had a good solid game and we expect them to continue to improve," defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli said.
But the Packers — with quarterback Aaron Rodgers — are a different animal. Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder is the scant, Charlie Brown-like Christmas tree that Brandon Marshall displayed, while Rodgers is the giant, adorned tree at the Walnut Room in Macy's.
"Rodgers makes [their offense] go," Roach said.
For a while, Rodgers' numbers were significantly worse against the Bears than his career averages. The Bears' cover-2 scheme forced the big-play minded QB to be patient. But that's starting to change.
Rodgers has completed 71.7 percent of his passes for 799 yards, nine touchdowns, two interceptions and a 117.4 passer rating in his last three games against the Bears.
Roach, in particular, may be tested if Rodgers elects to see if he can turn and run in coverage like Urlacher has done for years.
"If you can do a good job of defending their passing game, then you've got a good chance to win," Roach said.
Does Marinelli see Sunday as a bigger test for Roach and Hayes?
"Oh, yeah," Marinelli said. "But both those guys are really good in space, really good athletic guys in coverage. We're very confident in our people and what they're doing. So we're excited about the challenge."
Cutler's knee injury?
Jay Cutler was limited in practice with not only his neck injury but a knee issue. Coach Lovie Smith downplayed his knee injury.
"He practiced without any trouble at all," Smith said. "After a hard-fought game like that on the [Metrodome] turf, you sometimes have some bumps that last a little bit longer."
The rundown
Urlacher (hamstring) wasn't officially ruled out on Thursday, but he won't play Sunday.
"Don't know exactly when he'll be back," Smith said.
† Cornerback Tim Jennings (dislocated shoulder) didn't practice and his availability remains in doubt, but Smith said he is getting "a lot" better.
† Defensive end Shea McClellin (knee), running back Michael Bush (ribs) and wide receiver Earl Bennett (concussion) were held out of practice.
† Defensive tackle Henry Melton has been dealing with a chest injury, but he was excused Thursday for personal reasons.

Please post the times and distances of the winners.

Congrats to Fred Cordero of Clint High School for winning District at Ft Stockton in the 3200 meter run, 1 mile run & 4 x 4 mile relay...Good Luck in Regional. Also Congrats to the Clint Boys Track Team for winning District! It sure would have been nice if you all had posted their information.
FYI...I think this is the first year Fred Cordero runs High School Track...for him...What an accomplishment!!! Already getting ready to run at Regionals!! Congrats on your 1st place wins at District in Fort Stockton. Good luck to you at Regionals!!
We still have not seen the full results of the 2-4A track meet in the paper. Have the results been sent in to the El Paso times? Also, why did the Parkland girls not get any photos of their 8th straight District title?(team photo or anything) There has not been another team in the state of Texas that has ever done that!! They received one little paragraph up compared to Canutillo boys who have only won their second straight title. The reason you don't hear much about them in the early season is that they have to pull together girls from other sports, like soccer and basketball, after their season is over,to bring together a winning district team. Kudos to those girls for a job well done they ran and threw their hearts out.

A long time ago, before Rockstar Games got heavily involved with its Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption franchises, there was Max Payne, an Xbox/PC release that really shook things up both emotionally and with its action. The story, focusing on a cop who loses his family and goes all out to destroy enemies that get in his way, is one of the better ones in the last decade of gaming, really digging deep on the rage boiling inside him – to the point he needs painkillers just to get through each battle. After a decade, Rockstar has opted to bring the game to the iOS front, for both newer iPad and iPhone devices. And while it's quite the technical achievement, clumsy controls will leave you raging in a slightly different way.
With Max, you'll have a pair of pistols, along with other weapons, over the course of the game. Each mission requires you to take down all sorts of thugs, and the best way to do it is by activating bullet time. Here, everything slows down, and you can literally dive into a room, just like those crazy cops in Hot Fuzz, shooting with utmost accuracy (with auto-aim turned on, preferably) and landing without taking a scratch. Bullet time is Max's most effective tool, though his guns do a moderately good amount of damage as well.
From a technical standpoint, Rockstar Games is to be commended for the work they did porting this game to the iOS devices. The frame rate runs pretty smoothly, even for a decade old game, and though there are very slight model issues, it doesn't get in the way of the bloody, beefed-up action. Max himself still looks like he's in good shape, despite his dire situation. The level designs are pretty stellar too. Likewise, the audio has its moments, with great dialogue and occasional music interludes that fit with the action.

Did you receive a 1099-K form last year? Even if you didn't, chances are you heard about this new form from PayPal, or Amazon payments, or StubHub, or from debit/credit card processors that was mailed to online sellers all across the country.
Well, the 2012 tax season came and went, and ecommerce business owners dealt with the 1099-K the best they could. But now the 2013 tax season is upon us and 1099-K's are hitting mailboxes again. And this time the IRS is serious about comparing income reported by online sellers to the amounts on their 1099-K forms.
So whether you need a refresher course on what to do with the 1099-K or this is your first year dealing with the form, we'll cover what you need to know about the 1099-K. This includes the basic history plus why this year is different than last year!
What is Form 1099-K?
Not to go into too much detail, but a little history can give you an idea why you're even dealing with this form in the first place. As ecommerce became more of a viable way to make money for businesses, the IRS struggled to keep up. Sellers were making money, but when it came time to collect taxes, not everybody was reporting the income they made.
The government has a vested interest in collecting income tax, and they needed a way to track how much money was moving through online sales. Through legislation, they passed the 1099-K, which is simply a way to track sales through websites like PayPal and Amazon. When you sell product, these sites track them and send you a form showing your sales at the end of the period. This form is the 1099-K. You get a copy for your records… and so does the IRS.
What's the Purpose of a 1099-K?
As mentioned above, the 1099-K form only has one function: to report how much you made during a certain tax period through online sales. That's really it! The only information you really need from the form is how much money you made.
The 1099-K doesn't report any deductions or business expenses you might have taken. And – be warned – it doesn't take into consideration things like shipping income collected (that you turned around and spent to actually ship the item), refunds, charge backs or other deductions that actually make your income lower than what was reported on the 1099-K.
So why do you even need your 1099-K, especially since you've undoubtedly kept great track of all your income and expenses through Outright?
Consider the 1099-K as a gift – it's a way for you to verify how much money you made through your store. If the numbers match…great! If not, you have the chance to figure out what in the world happened.
What's Different About 1099-K This Year?
Last year was the first year for the 1099-K. Since this was the first year the IRS had implemented the form, they wisely tested it out first. This year, though, everything is in full swing, and the 1099-K is here to stay.
So what's different about the process? In truth, not much. There is still a strict restriction on who gets the form. If you made $20,000 or more income through 200 or more transactions,via a payment processor, that payment processor (PayPal, Amazon, credit card merchant, etc.) will send you the form. If you didn't meet either of those requirements, you don't get the 1099-K. Also, the form will still come late January/early February.
There is some confusion about how the 1099-K information will be reported. Last year, the info was reported on the Schedule C under "Gross Receipts" with the understanding there would be a specific box for the 1099-K in 2013. However, that does not seem to be the case this year.
What are the Consequences of Ignoring the 1099-K?
The IRS has announced that they will be comparing your total gross receipts with the number reported on your 1099-K. If, for any reason, the number you report is lower than the number on your 1099-K, you could face consequences. These consequences could include anything from a letter from the IRS requesting more information, to an adjustment to your taxes owed, up to an audit.
How Do I Get Help Dealing with Form 1099-K?
If you're having trouble reconciling your income and the 1099-K, an Outright Plus account can help you. You can also ask your most taxing tax questions in the Outright Community or visit our 1099-K Tax Center.

I was listening to a Washington, D.C. radio station this morning that has a neocon talk show host who was just gushing over Bush's victory with all of his callers. One caller struck me as especially absurd and surreal. She was the wife of an army officer stationed in the D.C. area. She said she was in such a good mood she was going to pack up the kids in the car and drive over to Arlington National Cemetery because , "we have some friends buried there who died in Iraq." She then said, "I'm going to put flowers on their graves and tell them Congratulations! Our man won!"
Can it possibly get more stomach turning? The re-election of the man who sent these young soldiers to their death in an unnecessary war that has nothing at all to do with defending their own country is celebrated at their grave sites by their "friends."
A large segment of the military population and its dependents seems to have adopted a mindless culture of death. What would she have said at the grave sites if Kerry had won? "Sorry boys, the man who caused your needless and totally unnessary death at the age of 22 has not been re-elected"? Some friend.11:56 am on November 3, 2004 Email Thomas DiLorenzo

WASHINGTON, June 21, 2013 — The solidly Republican Congressional districts the GOP created last year have returned to plague their inventor, as Macbeth laments in Act I , Scene VII of Macbeth. A recent Cook Political Report spells the trouble in stark relief: in a nation growing more diverse, "GOP districts have become whiter."
In 2000, House Republicans represented 59 percent of all white Americans and 40 percent of all nonwhite Americans. Today, Republicans represent 63 percent of all white Americans and only 38 percent of all nonwhites. This is the continuation of an unholy alliance the GOP struck with Democrats in the early 1980s. Majority and minority districts are routinely gerrymandered to ensure a minority representative, which in turn, makes every other district in the state whiter.
SEE RELATED: Obama Democrats don't want border security
In last year's redistricting,Republicans further reduced the number of minorities in districts they represent, making this divide worse. As far too many white Republican districts enjoy the upside from the current broken immigration system and none of the downside, this is the biggest obstacle blocking the GOP from passing immigration reform.
First, let us consider the case for supposed downsides of undocumented immigration.
Depressed wages: Studies show illegal immigration has little to no effect on American wages.
Stealing jobs: Former Republican Governor Haley Barbour recently said when inmates in his Magnolia State were given the option of staying in prison or working for pay in the predominately immigrant-hiring chicken farms of his state, they chose prison over the farms.
SEE RELATED: America does not need immigration reform
Data from the conservative American Enterprise Institute (AEI) show that states with more H-2B low-skilled nonagricultural workers actually had higher employment among U.S. workers. Specifically, for every 100 H-2B visa low-skilled workers a state had, it also had an additional 464 jobs for U.S. workers.
Crime: FBI statistics show crime in border towns in Texas, Arizona, California is down over the last decade. Violent crime, in particular, has fallen. Property crime in Arizona is down for 43 percent since 1995, besting the national average by double-digits.
Invasion from Mexico: Such an assertion is laughable on its face. Migration from Mexico, both legal and illegal, has now fallen to net-zero. "America is losing as many illegal immigrants as it's gaining," Reuters reported last year.
Rule of law: Every day in courtrooms across America, we the people, through the prosecutors acting in our names, give defendants punishment less than the law calls for in the form of plea bargains. Pleas are our primary method of delivering justice, since 90 percent of criminal cases receive negotiated pleas, not the punishment on the books. Further, if you are white, wealthy or both, the more leniency, or amnesty, you receive for your crimes.
SEE RELATED: The immigration reform headache
In this country we have never simply applied the rule of law by rote. Rather, how law is applied has always been a calculation of trade-offs between three players: the judicial system, the attorneys and the defendant.
We are never concerned to simply apply law, but rather to maximize the time, money and skill of the agents of justice — attorneys and courts — and the human potential and productivity of the beneficiaries of justice, defendants and society writ large.
Those decrying amnesty for undocumented immigrants are not inclined to cry too much when their child gets off with community service for that DUI or public intoxication or when their college drug dalliances gets expunged. We must all check our tendency to ignore and feel entitled to our own amnesty whilst hypocritically criticizing other people's amnesty. A certain scriptural exhortation about logs in eyes comes to mind here.
Gerrymandering has allowed the Americans most likely to have these misconceptions about jobs, wages, crime, "invasion," and rule of law to be cloistered into the same monolithic Congressional districts. Lack of contact with those who, by their mere presence, would disprove these stereotypes causes these Congressional districts to be ensconced in an alternate reality.
This is what allows Kentucky Senator Rand Paul to say, "I think in my state ― for Kentucky elections ― there's probably no benefit for voting for the bill."
Paul, like most Republicans, represents a constituency getting the upside of our current system, with little to none of the downside. The fact they benefit from it is why they oppose reform. Paradoxically, their failure to see that they benefit from it is also why they oppose reform.
It is hard to see how the GOP gets out of this bind while stuck with districts which likely ensure a Republican House for the next decade, perhaps at the cost of the White House and Senate for just as long.

Theo Ratliff: Scintillating As A Sixer Stifled In Detroit, He Has Taken Full Advantage Of His Chance To Shine In Philadelphia.
April 19, 1998
By Bob Ford, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
This is not the stuff of footwear ads or the makings of nightly highlights, but the 76ers' tentative drift toward respectability this season has been borne on a current of old-fashioned sweat. Remarkably for a team whose identity is defined by Allen Iverson's crossover dribble and Derrick Coleman's brilliant but maddeningly unreliable abilities, it has been solid defense that has led the Sixers from oblivion. And fittingly, considering the anonymous nature of the craft, the star of this quiet show has been a player whose name barely registered when the Sixers traded away Jerry Stackhouse in a four-player deal to acquire him from the Detroit Pistons on Dec. 18. "I was very happy with the trade," Theo Ratliff said.

Center A Concern For Sixers Injuries To Matt Geiger And Theo Ratliff Have Coach Larry Brown Talking About Needing More Depth.
October 14, 1999
By Stephen A. Smith, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Despite having two 7-footers on their roster and five players capable of playing center, the 76ers have a problem. Aside from slow-footed rookie Todd MacCulloch, Matt Geiger is the team's one legitimate center. Theo Ratliff, the starting power forward, is the only formidable backup in the middle. Everyone else falls under the category of "desperate measure. " Because Geiger is suffering from a bruised left knee and Ratliff is hindered by a sprained left ankle, it's understandable that Sixers coach Larry Brown is worried about the center spot for the season that starts Nov. 2. "We may need some help," Brown said.
Sixers Roll In A Tune-up For Real Test Theo Ratliff Was Among Five Double-digit Scorers As The 76ers Dealt Vancouver Its 11th Consecutive Loss. They Needed A Boost Before Meeting The Bulls.

By Stephen A. Smith, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
The hard part comes tomorrow night. After a semi-successful 12-day West Coast trip, then six days of rest, the 76ers showed no signs of rust last night. Theo Ratliff led with 18 points and six blocked shots, and Allen Iverson and Tim Thomas provided the aerial sparks, easily handing the Vancouver Grizzlies a 107-89 defeat at the CoreStates Center. The win gave the Sixers (10-23) just their fifth home victory of the season (against 10 home losses), handed the Grizzlies (10-28)

By Kate Fagan INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
In what should be the final move of a hectic summer, the Sixers are expected to add veteran center Theo Ratliff. According to a source familiar with the situation, the 6-foot-10 Ratliff has accepted a one-year contract for the veterans' minimum of $1.4 million. At Monday's news conference to announce the signing of swingman Andre Iguodala, the Sixers' president and general manager, Ed Stefanski, said he hoped to have a big man in place "within 48 hours. " Ratliff, 35, had offers for more money but would prefer playing for the Sixers, the source said.
Sixers finally complete a 1997 trade
June 8, 2005
By Joe Juliano INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
The 76ers finally sent to Detroit something they've owed the Pistons for nearly 7 1/2 years: a second-round draft pick. It ws the same pick that they obtained yesterday from the Utah Jazz in exchange for a future second-rounder. The Sixers took that pick - the 60th overall - from Utah and sent it on to the Pistons to complete the Dec. 18, 1997, trade that brought Aaron McKie and Theo Ratliff to the Sixers in exchange for Jerry Stackhouse and Eric Montross. McKie is still with the Sixers, but a lot has happened to the other three players involved in the deal.
Once Again, Ratliff Back From Injury
January 10, 2000
By Stephen A. Smith, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
The 76ers' biggest wish came true a bit later than expected, but it was welcomed nonetheless. They activated forward/center Theo Ratliff from the injured list before last night's game against Minnesota. Ratliff, who had missed 25 games because of a stress fracture in his left ankle, had averaged 9.2 points and 2.4 blocks in the nine games he had played this season. He had missed the first six games because of the injury, returned for seven, then missed 11 because of soreness in the ankle.
Knee Surgery On Ratliff Termed Successful By 76ers
May 7, 1998
By Stephen A. Smith, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Successful arthroscopic surgery was performed yesterday on the inflamed right knee of center Theo Ratliff, the 76ers announced. Ratliff's knee had weakened through years of wear and tear. James Andrews conducted the surgery in Birmingham, Ala. "We expect Theo to begin rehabilitation on his knee sometime next week," team physician Jack McPhilemy said in a statement. Ratliff's rehabilitation will likely take place in Philadelphia, where he does off-season workouts with John Harnett, a coach in the Sonny Hill Baker League.
Little-used Shaw Released By Sixers After Rookie Year
August 10, 1999
By Stephen A. Smith, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
After spending the last several months contemplating who they would sign and re-sign, the 76ers shrank their roster yesterday, waiving center-forward Casey Shaw. Shaw, the No. 37 pick in the June 1998 NBA draft, was a second-rounder taken by a Sixers team in desperate need of front-line muscle last season. He was also a project, one the Sixers felt needed more developing than Todd MacCullough, their second-round pick this year. In a 50-game, lockout-shortened season, the 6-foot-11 Shaw saw action in just nine games, scoring two points, grabbing three rebounds and playing 14 minutes.

Experienced Ratliff has the ear of 76ers' Speights
October 17, 2008
By Keith Pompey INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Injuries and Father Time are starting to catch up with Theo Ratliff. But that's OK with the 76ers. The 35-year-old backup center's value won't be measured by blocked shots or even minutes played. Providing leadership to a young team is a big reason Ratliff, a 13-year NBA veteran, is making his second tour with the Sixers. The 6-foot-10, 235-pounder signed a one-year contract in August for the veteran minimum of $1.4 million. "Theo has been great," Sixers coach Maurice Cheeks said before yesterday's practice at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine - so great that Cheeks doesn't get upset when Ratliff completes the coach's sentences at team meetings.
Ratliff is happy to be back with the 76ers
August 22, 2008
By Kate Fagan INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Theo Ratliff may have physically left Philly, but the memories made here never left him. One day after officially signing back with the 76ers, where Ratliff played from 1997-2001, the 6-foot-10 veteran of 13 NBA seasons spoke about returning to the city he never wanted to leave. "It's a great opportunity to be back to a place that is near and dear to my heart," said Ratliff, who signed a one-year deal for the veteran minimum of $1.4 million. "I wasn't very happy to leave under the circumstances I left.
76ers make deal with Ratliff official
August 21, 2008
By Kate Fagan INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Theo Ratliff is back. The 76ers officially announced the signing of the 6-foot-10 center-forward, who first played with the Sixers from 1997 to 2001. Per team policy, the Sixers would not disclose terms of the deal, but a source has said Ratliff, 35, signed a one-year contract for the veteran minimum, about $1.4 million. The source said Ratliff had other offers on the table but preferred returning to Philly. This signing appears to be the final move of a hectic summer for Sixers president and general manager Ed Stefanski, who was forced to take this final step when backup center Jason Smith tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee early last week.

Celtics complete historic 7-for-1 Garnett deal
August 1, 2007
The Boston Celtics, who have won 16 NBA championships but have gone without one for more than two decades, yesterday finalized a long-rumored deal for former MVP and 10-time all-star Kevin Garnett in a 7-for-1 deal - the NBA's biggest trade for one player. Boston sent the Minnesota Timberwolves forwards Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomes and Gerald Green, guard Sebastian Telfair and center Theo Ratliff, two first-round draft picks, and cash considerations. Besides Ratliff, 34, the other four players are 24 or younger.

But his idle stretch is entering its fourth week, and he is still wearing a protective boot and not practicing. Not coincidentally, the Celtics are 2-11 in the games Pierce has missed entering the weekend. "We're going to be extra careful," Pierce told a Boston radio station.

Sixers' task today is not to let down
February 1, 2004
By Joe Juliano INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
If one thing has been a constant for the 76ers in this mystifying season, it has been their inability to ride the momentum of an inspiring victory into the next game. Take the Sixers' two wins this season over the San Antonio Spurs, the defending NBA champions. In both cases, immediately after beating San Antonio, the Sixers lost. The same thing happened after their two victories over the Detroit Pistons. Each was followed by a defeat. The latest challenge will be to carry over the energy from Friday night's 85-82 comeback victory over New Orleans into this afternoon.
Ratliff visits as center of attention
January 30, 2003
By Ashley McGeachy Fox INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Theo Ratliff laughed at the irony. He knows, as well as anybody, how much the 76ers could use a shot-blocker and defensive stopper like him. "They're last in shot blocks," Ratliff said last night before his team, the Atlanta Hawks, played his former team at the First Union Center. "But they still have a great team. " Ratliff was partially right. The Sixers are second to last, behind the New York Knicks, in blocks per game, averaging 3.47. The Hawks average 5.36 per game, while seven teams, led by San Antonio, average at least six per game.
CNN/SI to be cut; deal with NBA eyed
January 11, 2002
CNN plans to scrap the struggling CNN/Sports Illustrated and replace it with a new cable network, which will be operated with the NBA. About 200 people work for CNN/SI, but it is not clear how many positions will be eliminated. It could be the largest number since CNN eliminated the jobs of 400 employees a year ago in a 10 percent across-the-board reduction. The new jointly owned network would focus on sports events rather than news and would televise NBA games several nights a week.

Article: Use a Cell Phone in a Library, Pay $1,000
Using a cell phone in a Huntington Beach, CA library could cost you a pretty penny! Read about it in this article from a Los Angeles area station entitled, Use a Cell Phone in a Library, Pay $1,000
From the article:
From the article:
City leaders adopted an ordinance, which takes effect Sept. 15, that bans all cell phone use in libraries, including talking, text messaging and ringing tones of any kind.
First-time violators will be warned, then fined $250 if they don't comply. A second offense gets a $500 fine and a third offense gets a $1,000 fine.
Thanks to UW Law Library colleague, Cindy May for passing this one on.

The following are Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs) about The Center for Catholic/Jewish Studies with
corresponding answers:
In 1997, Saint Leo University and the American Jewish Committee
undertook a project to promote a collaborative partnership between
Judaism and Catholicism. The Center was established at Saint Leo
University in 1998 through a formal Memorandum of Agreement between
the University and the American Jewish Committee as a 501c3
nonprofit institution.Founded to promote interfaith dialogue on
contemporary problems and to address historical conflicts, as well
as to educate the communities on the philosophical and theological
understandings of the two faiths and their impact on modern
society, the Center was the brainchild of Bishop Robert N. Lynch of
the Diocese of St. Petersburg, Bishop John J. Nevins of the Diocese
of Venice, Rabbi A. James Rudin, national director of
interreligious activities for the American Jewish Committee and Dr.
Arthur F. Kirk Jr., President of Saint Leo University. In 2013, The
Center became a fully integrated part of Saint Leo University.
The purpose of the Center for Catholic-Jewish Studies is to
promote the understanding and appreciation of Catholic and Jewish
traditions along with their mutual interplay through conferences,
town hall meetings, interreligious dialogue and sharing of both
adults and young people, etc.
No. For Saint Leo this Catholic-Jewish partnership goes back to
its founding roots. In 1894 Saint Leo began a ten-year effort to
establish a Jewish colony within the Catholic enclave of San
Antonio, Florida. Bishop John Moore endorsed the project as did
Father Charles Mohr, O.S.B., head of the Benedictine Abbey that
founded the college. Although the full colony was never developed,
Father Mohr did help a number of settlers to find homes in San
Among the thirty or so centers around the country dedicated to
Jewish-Christian concerns, we are the only one south of the
Washington, D.C. area. As does Saint Leo University, we serve the
Southeastern United States but especially the Tampa Bay and
Sarasota-Venice regions of Florida. Along with our sponsorship from
the national American Jewish Committee, we have very close working
ties with the West Coast Florida Chapter of AJC. We are also
fostering closer ties with the AJC Chapters in Boca Raton/West Palm
Beach and in Miami. As part of our expansion and in collaboration
with other programs at Saint Leo University, we are reaching out to
the other five Catholic dioceses in Florida and to the two in
Georgia, their bishops, and faithful. Interestingly enough, the
Jewish and Catholic populations in Florida are growing
substantially. The Roman Catholic community is now the largest
faith community in Florida.
Men and women from other Christian communities, Muslims, and
others are always welcome to participate in any of the activities
of the Center. Presently, we are focusing on Catholic-Jewish
relations for a number of reasons. First, the longer we work
together, the more we appreciate how our traditions, commitments,
and sense of one another make working together a very natural and
harmonious experience. Second, the Vatican II document on
relationships with non-Christian religions, Nostra Aetate, opened
up new paths to dialogue and understanding on both sides. After
nearly two thousand years of hostility and misunderstanding between
us, we are dialoguing with one another and even embracing one
another in friendship. Yet more needs to be done to face some of
the more subtle hurts and blindness between us. So for the time
being, the Center is concentrating on healing the past while
walking together into a future, where we hope to be models of
interreligious affirmation and cooperation.
You can tell others of our mission and different events we are
sponsoring-either announced here on the website or in the Eternal
Light Newsletter. It is amazing how many people are interested in
Catholic-Jewish relations but never notice announcements. Third,
the Center is a non-profit 501-C-3 organization and gladly accepts
donations from individuals as well as from corporations. Money
donated gives us a cushion in our daily operating expenses and
allows us to be available to do things with young people and others
whose finances are limited. In the future we need to expand our
library and make it more accessible as well as offer scholarships
to young adults interested in Catholic-Jewish relations.
