I was really hoping for a different outcome. After an amazing 5+ hour semifinal match it will once again be Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer in the finals of a Grand Slam event. But that's not the big story here.
I turned on the t.v. this morning for my daughter to watch Mickey Mouse so I could throw in a load of laundry (Yes, I know. The life of a stay-at-home-mom is very glamourous). The t.v. was tuned to ESPN and in the final set of the Verdasco/Nadal match. I was on the edge of my seat hoping the underdog, Verdasco could pull off a dramatic upset.
In the end of course he wasn't able to overcome, losing the tiebreaker with a double fault. But for anyone watching, it was a chance to see what great sports is all about. Two fierce competitors battling back and fourth until finally, when it couldn't possibly go on any longer on of them breaks. Good stuff!
On a side note, how could I have left Verdasco off my list of hot tennis players???? Well, I'm officially adding him. He may have lost against Nadal, but don't feel too sorry for Fernando. I'm sure his girl, Ana Ivanovic will help him recover.

If you ask most churches, they are genuinely seeking how to reach their community. Identifying your target visitor through building a community persona is the first step.
Next, you need to figure out how to reach those you have identified and meet their needs.
One important way to achieve this is through generational marketing. Each audience is shaped by different life experiences, traditions and values and should be communicated to using the appropriate and effective channels.
A young man in my last church cut off three of his fingers while cutting a piece of paneling in a van customizing shop. As he was being rushed to the hospital, he was asked, "Where are the fingers?" A man rushed back to the shop with a bowl of ice, grabbed the three digits and then rushed them to Birmingham in the ambulance along with the young man.
Nineteen hours of microsurgery reattached those fingers to the young man's hand. Had they been left in the sawdust of that shop, the fingers would have been useless. They were only good to him if they were attached to his body.
It's the same way when it comes to our attachment to the body of Christ, both globally and locally. We are members of the body—whether a finger, an ear, an eye or a spleen—and we need the rest of the body in order to live. We cannot make it on our own.
When I wrote The Purpose Driven Church, I predicted that church health—not church growth—would be the primary concern of the 21st Century church. I believe that prediction is proving itself true.
The New Testament says a lot about the health of the church. Consider just a few verses:
"As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing. …" (Ephesians 4:16b, NLT)
"The focus of my letter wasn't on punishing the offender but on getting you to take responsibility for the health of the church." (2 Corinthians 2:9, Msg)
Everything communicates.
What people experience in your church has the power to propel them toward Christ or push them away. What we do matters, and doing it well is essential. From your website to the parking lot signage, more than likely your first-time guests have gotten an earful before they've even heard the first word of your sermon.
Here are a few time-tested proven how-tos for engaging your community:
Excellence in all things and all things to the glory of God.
At Prestonwood Baptist Church, you'll hear this phrase often. Everyone on our ministry team and staff take it to heart because it isn't just what we do; it's who we are. We serve a mighty God who deserves all of us and the best of us.
His very name is described as excellent in Scripture: "O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth" (Ps. 8:1). And in Isaiah 12:5, the prophet calls salvation "excellent": "Sing to the Lord, for He has done excellent things."
So from janitorial to ministerial, we strive for excellence. In ministry, just as in life, there must be a commitment—to rise above the mediocre, to ascend above the average, to soar like eagles. We can flock and honk like geese through life, or we can soar like the royal eagle in the heavens.
Creating a Compelling Guest Experience
To us, excellence in all things is about paying attention to detail. The little things mean a great deal. From the moment visitors arrive at your church building until they leave, do they experience excellence? Is there a winsome feel to your church and worship services? I don't want anything about the worship experience to take away from the mission of the church, which is to proclaim the gospel.
When we started our North Campus, we met in a high school. Our church members took great pride in the "set up and tear down" that helped transform a school into a warm and engaging service each Sunday. We did little things such as placing signage throughout the school welcoming people to Prestonwood and inviting them to make this church their home. It wasn't opulent, but it was excellent.
We've learned that excellence starts long before someone gets to one of our worship services, beginning with the church website. No doubt, this is a media-savvy world, and it's our responsibility to engage the culture and communicate effectively. Is your website reader-friendly? Do you keep people engaged through Facebook, Twitter or other social media?
From your website to your parking lot, excellence should be a value for you, your staff and your church.
Try this exercise with your team: Ask them to spend the week visiting the church website and looking around church grounds. Then get together and discuss these questions: Was it easy to find service times and direction on the website? Does your church parking lot have potholes? Are the trees and bushes overgrown and unkempt? Is the carpet frayed and stained? Are the walls dingy? Do paintings hang crookedly? When someone walks through the doors, what do they see first? What do they smell?
The Worship Experience
Beyond the website and building, evaluate your worship experience. Train volunteers to greet every guest and help direct them. As people enter the sanctuary or worship area, make Bibles and pens readily available for anyone who may not have a Bible. The worship guide or bulletin should be well written and error-free. During the service, make the lyrics for worship songs easy to read on the screens, and provide notes on the screens that complement the message so that first-time guests can easily follow the teaching.
Our mission at Prestonwood is "to glorify God by introducing Jesus Christ as Lord to as many people as possible and to develop them in Christian living using the most effective means to impact the world, making a positive difference in this generation."
The most effective means for us includes everything available that will help support and strengthen our church as we share the love of Christ and proclaim the message of salvation to a lost and hurting world. As His church, we should proclaim Him with the excellence He so richly deserves.

Building an ideal customer profile is a common business practice whose goal is to identify the type or types of people the business caters to. This involves identifying needs, wants, pain points and more. This type of study into the minds of customers helps businesses market more effectively and offer products and services that really meet the needs people have.
So, how does this relate to your church?
Quite simply, if you can learn to identify those you serve best in the community, you will better understand how to attract them to your church and meet their needs.

How can I get my 14-year-old daughter to be more active?
My 14-year-old daughter spends hours on Facebook every day. How can I get her to be more active?Question:
Ellen Rome, M.D.
Dr. Ellen Rome is a board-certified pediatrician who was among the first in the U.S. to be board certified in adolescent medicine. She... Read more
Teens find Facebook so alluring because it's peer-driven -- they get to choose their friends, be in constant contact with them and exercise their freedom of speech. But all Internet/video game/TV/computer time should be monitored, with loving limits in place. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no more than two hours of total screen time (not counting homework) a day, or 14 hours per week. The more screen time allowed, the more you increase the odds of negative behavior and outcomes in a child, including violent and aggressive behavior, obesity, poor body concept and self-image, substance abuse and early sexual activity.
All that screen time isn't doing her brain any good either: When the computer is on and the quality of what's she's engaged in is low (social networking sites vs. learning games, for instance), not only is is physical activity limited, brain development is as well. In two studies so far, inner-city kids given laptops or computer access as a means of intellectual stimulation actually scored lower on standardized testing, since they spent time on recreational games rather than on reading or learning games.
I'm also an advocate of having kids earn their screen time. If you adopt this approach, let your daughter know that she must do some form of physical activity before she logs on. This will act as a built-in motivator for her to move (while also automatically cutting back on the hours she spends on Facebook) and assure you that she's getting the exercise that's so important to her overall health and development. Or maybe she's already active, but a reticent reader: Challenge her to earn that screen time by putting in some reading first. When she goes above and beyond the normal expectations, reward her on the weekend with an extra hour or two of screen time.
Besides limiting her screen time, parents also play a key role in protecting their children online. So as much as possible, monitor what your teen sees (start by "friending" her on Facebook) and offer her advice on how she can protect herself when she's using social media. Talk about the role of Facebook as a permanent Internet "tattoo." Make sure she realizes that anything she posts there, or on another medium, is findable forever. The challenge with this is the lack of abstract thought in the average early to middle adolescent. The ability to foresee consequences does not come until late adolescence, if at all. Use examples that hit close to home: Is that funny picture she uploaded of herself pretending to smoke a cigarette something that she wants her college admissions counselor, future boyfriend or Grandma to see? How about the girl whose boyfriend enticed her to take a compromising picture of herself and text it, and it's now on Facebook for the whole school to see, traceable directly to this girl -- does she want that kind of permanent commentary aimed at her? Helping your daughter set limits for herself and see the potential outcomes for poor choices is a valuable and powerful lesson for her to learn sooner rather than too late.Answer:

G.E. Has Teamed Up With Quirky to Let You Play with Its Patents
Hey look, it's another case of an old-fashioned company teaming up with a fast-moving startup to get a little innovative sheen! This time it's G.E. and Quirky. The 110-year-old industrial powerhouse will team up with the collaborative product development platform to let Quirky community members riff on thousands of G.E. patents.
G.E. will get royalties on any consumer technologies based on its patents–without having to invest time and money in the development process. That's not to mention the cool-kid halo effect; the partnership is launching with a Vimeo intro starring Thomas Edison. (Didn't anyone tell G.E. that the Internet prefers Nicola Tesla?) Read More

The documents from Vernon Richards
(no. 1-267) on the one hand and Marie Louise Berneri
, Emidio Recchioni , other relatives and
Freedom staff members (no. 268-367) on the other hand
have been entered into separate sections.
In some cases though a strict separation proved not to be possible. Cross references have been made in these instances. Apart from this, the existing order has been maintained as far as possible, although inconsistencies have been corrected. Some remarks should be made as to the nature of the documents within the different sections.
Although Vernon Richards ' papers mainly consist of Freedom Press material resulting from his work as editor and treasurer, personal papers were mixed in with these. In particular this was the case in the correspondence (no. 1-27) which contains personal as well as Freedom Press letters and some letters to others, i.e. his second wife Dorothy (Peta) Hewetson. Occasionally some bills, notes and bank statements may be found between the letters. Time did not allow a more rigorous split.
Also the documents under the heading "Documentation" probably partly concern Freedom Press documentation, while another part may have been collected by Vernon Richards personally.

Yes. Unfortunately You read right. Tia Mowry aka "Melanie" from BET's The Game has been given the boot.
Mowry got the bad news just a few hours after her Wendy Show appearance yesterday and her friend, radio personality DeDe McGuire, was the first to leak the news online:
After receiving a slew of supportive tweets from fans of "The Game" Tia signed off…

Jamie P. Merisotis, President, Lumina Foundation for Education
Envisioning the Future of Higher Education, Kickoff Summit for DGREE.org, Sausalito, CA
Thank you, and good morning everyone.
I am very pleased to be here today. Those of you who know me are aware that I've devoted virtually all of my professional life to higher education and to increasing student access and success. For me, being a part of this effort to envision the future of higher education is truly exciting because of the collective brainpower of such a diverse and creative group of thinkers. You are not the usual suspects, and some of you have mostly indirect experience with higher education. This is a very good thing, for reasons I will touch on in a moment. First, though, let me say that my colleagues and I at Lumina Foundation are very happy to be supporting this work, and we want to thank Tara and her colleagues at LENS Ventures for the good work they've already done to launch the effort.
For those of you who may not be familiar with the Foundation, let me offer a quick overview. Lumina Foundation for Education is a national foundation with assets of about a billion dollars. We are, and have always been, committed to one cause: enrolling and graduating more students from college—especially low-income students, students of color, first-generation students and adult learners. In fact, we are the largest foundation in America that focuses exclusively on that mission.
Lumina pursues its mission in a focused way. All of our energy and resources are focused on the achievement of one ambitious but specific goal. By 2025, we want 60 percent of Americans to hold high-quality college degrees and credentials. Right now, only about 40 percent of the population has at least a two-year degree.
In our view, the achievement of this Big Goal is vital—not only to maintain a good quality of life for individual Americans, but to ensure the long-term stability and security of our society as a whole. And we're not alone in our thinking on this. More and more experts in social and economic policy—representing all points along the political spectrum—agree that U.S. college-completion rates must increase dramatically if we expect to compete in the 21st century global marketplace.
The key to our success as a nation—both for short-term recovery and for long-term transformation—is the development of a knowledge-based economy, one powered by adaptable workers with high-level skills and knowledge. Without a doubt, today's workers need a 21st century education, the kind that can only be offered in well-designed and rigorous postsecondary programs.
And the demands on tomorrow's workers will be even greater. Projections based on official government data show that in the coming decade we will need at least 15 million more postsecondary degree holders than we are currently on pace to produce in order to fill new jobs and replace those vacated by retiring baby boomers. And individuals who fail to meet this new educational standard will surely pay the price. The earnings gap between high school graduates and college graduates is wide and getting wider. In short, for individuals, getting some type of college degree is a prerequisite for entry into the middle class. Even more bluntly, without a college degree, there is a very good chance you will be poor.
All of this is clear evidence that the United States needs more and better college graduates. With some form of postsecondary credential now a requirement for individual success, and with the production of more high-quality college graduates now seen as an American imperative, it's easy to understand why Lumina's Big Goal is fast becoming a national goal.
I will not atttempt to walk you through the Lumina plan for how to get to this goal in any detail, because you can read about that on our website and in various other venues. I think you know that one critical outcome we will need to achieve as a society is for students to be prepared in a holistic way for college success—and by holistic, we mean academically, financially and socially. We also need to do a much better job of improving the rates of success among students who actually enroll in postsecondary education. We have unacceptably high rates of failure at all levels, and this represents a serious drag on our capacity to get to that Big Goal.
Much of Lumina's work as a grantmaking body, a public policy advocate, and public will-builder addresses these critical issues of student preparation and success. They are all aimed at building on the strengths of the existing higher education system. And those strengths are considerable: impressive institutional diversity, decades of expertise in serving particular populations, and extensive physical and human infrastructure. We need all of those talents and tools to help us reach that Big Goal of 60 percent degree attainment.
But it's clear that we cannot reach that goal simply by improving on the existing system. We can't "reform" our way to 60 percent; we're also going to have to reframe and rethink by relentlessly focusing on the outcomes of higher education. And that brings us to the third and final critical outcome that leads to the Big Goal: increased productivity. We must find new and innovative approaches that can result in a more vibrant and more productive system of higher education, one with the capacity to produce far more high-quality graduates than ever before.
And that, in a nutshell, is why I think we're all here: To work together and brainstorm ways in which higher education can go one better than the "usual." With your help, we want to envision new, more productive and more efficient methods for higher education to do what it has always done: empower individuals and support our nation's economic and social prosperity. We're here to imagine together—to play a real-life game of "what if" with the American higher education system.
- What if all states had transparent higher-education readiness standards that were aligned across the K-12, adult learner and higher education systems?
- What if colleges and universities were financially rewarded primarily for student success instead of merely enrollment?
- What if students could seamlessly accumulate their learning from a variety of providers and partners in order to build a degree?
- What if students, employers, and education leaders all knew clearly what a degree truly represents—what students know, understand, and are able to do with that credential?
- In short, what if we could truly create the "student-centered educational ecosystem" that Tara and her colleagues at LENS Ventures are helping us envision?
We are here today to explore ways to make "what if" a reality—to begin to build that student-centered system that will meet the needs of American society in this new, globally interconnected century in which we live. Until we have such a system, we will not be able to reach that Big Goal which is so vital to our collective well-being as a nation.
So thank you for being here today and helping us blaze new pathways toward that goal. I truly value your ideas, your commitment, and your sustained involvement in this work, and I look forward to our discussions over the next two days.

Choirboys front man, Mark Gable said "I've always loved AC/DC and Bon. We recorded our first album in the same studio that AC/DC made their first five albums, so I have a connection that goes way back."

Ex-hospital CEO to serve 2 years on fraud charges
Updated On: Jun 29 2012 06:00:00 AM EDT
A retired hospital executive has been sentenced to serve two years in prison after he was convicted on charges of Medicare and Medicaid fraud.
Ken Beverly, former chief executive officer of Archbold Medical Center in Thomasville, was convicted in December 2010. He was also ordered Thursday to pay a $50,000 fine and his prison sentence is to be followed by a three-year supervised release period.
The Albany Herald reports Beverly's attorneys say they will appeal his sentence. Defense lawyers argued for a sentence without jail time, asking the judge to consider his positive impact on the community and the 66-year-old's family.
Beverly left Archbold with $6 million in compensation and benefits that he would not have received had he been convicted first.

|Can you please id this weed? I like to call it "The Weed from Hell". My backyard backs up to a conservation area. And i see this weed growing throughtout it, and its made its way into my yard. Its very thorny and it grows in a row. Im not sure how tall it can get but the tallest I see is about 5ft. From the root of one it sends another shoot underground about a ft or less, and another one pops-up. And it continously shoots up more and more. I found this out becuz I dug outta part of the trail. Luckly it only shoots out one from each weed formed. I have a trail of them going through my yard about 20ft long. The lawn mowers keeps them at grass height. If you try to pull it outta the ground it breaks off. Ive tried "Image" brand weed killer and that did nothing. I havent tried round-up becuz i had a bad accident with it. I sprayed an area and it rained later that day. I caused it to spread and kill a bunch of other stuff. My dad said it looks like some kinda of wild berry. Any ideas on how to get rid of this thing or atleast keep it under control.
Here's some links to the pics:

Official ZEDGE and Flipkart apps out now for Windows Phone 8
In other news, Flipkart, India's biggest online retailer, has outed its official Windows Phone app as well. It allows for easy navigation through the store's different departments, searching through its catalog, payments via established money handling systems, status tracking, and pretty much everything else related to the website. Flipkart is very much India's own Amazon (in fact, it was founded by two ex-Amazon employees), so the birth of this app should be rather welcome in the country.
Both apps are free and can be found in the links below.They are available on Android and iOS as well.

While filing your federal and your state return at the same
time can reduce tax time stress, we understand that sometimes, you just need to
file your state tax return later. Unless
you live in the states of Oklahoma and Kansas (where the tax agencies require
that your federal return and your state return are efiled at the same time) you
can prepare and efile your state return by itself. Here's how:

WASHINGTON, June 22, 2011 - Who couldn't use a bit more culture in their lives — especially when it's as exotic and diverse as Colombia's? But no need to book a ticket to South America just yet; this summer, Colombia is coming to you — specifically, to the National Mall for the Smithsonian Folklife Festival.
Starting on June 30 and running for two weeks (with a break around July 4), this free program highlights Colombia's rich heritage, its geographic variety (the Andes mountains, Amazon rainforest, and Caribbean and Pacific coasts are all here), and its impressive bio-diversity (with the most bird species in the world).
A delegation of 120 Colombian artists and performers will be on hand to present dance, music, food, storytelling, craft-making and agricultural practices from regions as varied as the Andean Savannah, the coffee triangle, and the cities of Cali, Bogota, and Medellin. Among traditional craftspeople — the basket weavers and jewelry makers — look for the silletero, or flower artist.
Watch as he transforms a plain wood box into a towering floral display, painstakingly layering varying blossoms to create a splendid arrangement. Pretty cool, yes, but there's more. The silletero (which literally means "chair man") then hoists the colorful creation onto his back (it can weigh as much as 150 pounds) and carries it. During the festival, the visiting silletero, Alexander Nieto, will be creating a silleta (flower arrangement) every day.
Nieto represents one of Colombia's most important traditions, La Feria de las Flores (Flower Fair), which includes an annual procession starting from the small mountain village of Santa Elena and heading down a steep, curving road into Medellin. The fair takes place each summer (this year, it's July 29 to August 8) and also features a horse fair, a classic car parade, musical and cultural performances, a chiva carnival (a chiva is the typical open-sided bus built on a truck chassis), and more.
Lest you think everything in the festival is rooted in the past, there are also peeks at contemporary Colombia, in the form of graffiti artists and young urban musicians.
The Smithsonian Folklife Festival will take place June 30-July 4 and July 7-11 on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., between the Smithsonian museums. Hours are 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with special events taking place most evenings.

Although it's the oldest continuously running theater in Michigan (and the third oldest in all of the United States), Croswell Opera House has more vibrancy than most venues half its age. Renovated over the last two decades with a new stage floor, an enlarged orchestra pit, and burgundy and gold medallions atop a fresh coat of paint, the historic venue has lost none of its old-fashioned charm as it continues through its second century.
Originally constructed in 1866, the downtown epicenter of Lenawee County arts and culture has played host to a rich timeline of American entertainment. The 1800s featured vaudeville acts, musicians, and orators such as Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass, and the early 1900s saw silent movies swallowed by the next wave of cinema: loudies. Although it was nearly demolished in 1967, the opera house persevered with the loving care of its staff and patrons, and today continues to host a wealth of musical acts, Broadway shows, and children's theater.
Voted the best miniature golf course in Lenawee County by readers of the Daily Telegram in 2010, Stone Mountain Family Fun Center enchants putters with an 18-hole course teeming with rustic charm. As players roll colorful golf balls toward tiny cups, greenside waterfalls cascade into streams that run through watermills and underneath a covered bridge, where players can pass over the water or inconspicuously park their pint-sized golf cart. Caves and rocky outcrops await putters on certain holes, further complicating each putt.
Stone Mountain's adjoining pizzeria features a menu of subs, salads, and 11 specialty pizzas, and the ice creamery invites patrons to indulge in 14 flavors of soft serve or to use the dessert as a cold compress on their putter's elbow.
Tecumseh Center for the Arts has more than 250 Facebook fans, while Suzanne Vega has more than 34,000.
The Adrian Symphony Orchestra is the professional orchestra in residence on the Adrian College Campus.
Though the chefs at Dan's Downtown Tavern adeptly craft pub classics such as pulled-pork sandwiches and award-winning chili, the core of their menu remains 25 custom burgers. Made with ground beef from Knights Market, the 1/3- and 1/4-pound patties arrive topped with traditional and unorthodox ingredients, from house-made beer-BBQ sauce to peanut butter. The Saline and Clinton bars brim with 36 and 19 different beers, respectively, and emptied taps decorate each tavern's exposed brick walls.
Below rows of spigots, dartboards invite friendly competition and flat-screen TVs broadcast the latest sports. Patrons can also wander outside to the patio, where red and green umbrellas will protect them from the sun's rays and the moon's ability to turn everything it shines on to cheese.
Since opening its emerald alleyways in 1956, Woodlawn Golf Club's semiprivate, 18-hole course has tested the skills of all golfers, from greenhorns to green jacket holders. Featuring undulated bentgrass fairways cleaved through rows of mature trees, the par 71 course spans 5,943 yards and culminates at small, contoured greens known for their speed. Numerous water hazards, strategically placed bunkers, and thickheaded squirrels entering hibernation work in unison to lure errant golf balls as they attempt to circumnavigate the course.
Course at a Glance:
Course length: 5,943 yards
Course rating: 69.1
Slope rating: 118

We have had a ruckus system running brilliantly for months and i'm really happy with it, in fact i cannot praise it enough.
There has been one little niggle though which has been bothering me and that is to do with BYOD either Staff or Students. I'm in two minds on which way to go with this.
At the moment i have an open SSID (BYOD-STAFF) for Staff, a SSID (BYOD-STUDENTS) and a SSID (BYOD-POST16) for students where users will connect to and authenticate against Active Directory and if they are part of the relevant member group in AD they are granted access. This is working fine however the connection isn't encrypted. They are then passed to the smoothwall for SSL login to the net as WPA on Smoothwall and the ruckus group membership don't work so i cannot let on staff connect to the staff SSID, anyway that's another story.
I have seen and tested, which i have got setup but hidden at the moment, a SSID called Provision which is open and a test SSID for staff called BYOD-STAFF-En which is encrypted. A member of staff connects to the provision SSID, which gives the user an IP address from the main domain for a little while, logs into a walled garden, inputs their username and password and they download the prov.exe on windows or prov.apk if on android. Once the profile has been downloaded the user, i have found if using...
a) a laptop, needs to turn the wireless off and then back on again and the laptop connects to the relevant SSID which the profile has given.
b) an android device, will not pass me over to the relevant SSID, even if i turn the wireless off and on, it still doesn't work. The only way i have got it to work is to disconnect or forget the provision SSID.
c) i have tried it on an apple device however the apple device is locked to IrisConnect so i cannot install google chrome as safari doesn't work.
I thought this profile moved the device over to the SSID automatically this making it easy for the user. At the moment, it does't seem straight forward for the average user.
Has anyone else had this problem or are people doing it the former way i have mentioned. I would really like to get the latter working to see how it goes.

Summary: The mere thought of having to take a required calculus course is enough to make legions of students break out in a cold sweat. Others who have no intention of ever studying the subject have this notion that calculus is impossibly difficult unless you happen to be a direct descendant of Einstein.
Well, the good news is that you can master calculus. It's not nearly as tough as its mystique would lead you to think. Much of calculus is really just very advanced alge ...show morebra, geometry, and trig. It builds upon and is a logical extension of those subjects. If you can do algebra, geometry, and trig, you can do calculus.

Owner of Tebb's Headshop chain has case adjourned in State Supreme Court
By WKTV News
- A Rome man who owns the Tebb's Headshop chain throughout Central New York appeared in State Supreme Court in Watertown on Thursday morning.
Owner John Tebbetts III is the owner of a lawsuit filed by the New York State Attorney General's Office for selling synthetic drugs in his stores.
Last month, head shops across the state were raided in a simultaneous bust.
While Tebbett's stores remain open, his case has been adjourned to September 27.

One of the oldest rules in the tax law allows investors to choose which shares are being sold when disposing of part of their holdings in a particular stock. Both President Obama and Dave Camp, Republican Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, have proposed doing away with this important rule. Our new article in the Journal of Taxation of Investments (subscription required) explains why repeal of share identification would be a policy blunder, accomplishing nothing and creating unnecessary problems for investors. Why aren't more people objecting to these proposals?

If you've made multiple purchases and sales of stock in the same company (or shares of the same mutual fund) within the same year, you may have been surprised at what was reported on Form 1099-B. This report of the tax consequences of your sales may seem to bear little relationship to the actual activity in your account. If your trading activity includes wash sales, it may be all but impossible for you to determine whether the results reported on this form are correct. From what I've seen, there's a good chance they aren't.

Brokers and mutual fund companies are now required to report your cost basis and holding period in addition to sales proceeds when you sell shares. The requirement doesn't apply to all shares, however. What's more, even when they follow all the rules, brokers may report incorrect figures. Taxpayers can't rely blindly on these reports.

Nearly four years after the first ruling in a demutualization case we have another one—and it's inconsistent with the first one. At issue is the proper treatment of taxpayers who receive shares of stock when a mutual insurance company that issued policies to them converts into a regular corporation. The IRS has long taken the position that these shares have zero basis, so that when they are sold, the entire proceeds must be reported as capital gain. The Court of Federal Claims rejected that position in 2008, and in addition found that the open transaction doctrine applied, so that the selling shareholders would report zero gain on the sale.

This tax season — the one that just ended for those lucky enough to have filed on time, and the one still painfully dragging on for those who filed for an extension — is the first for which brokers are required to report cost basis, in addition to gross proceeds, on Form 1099-B. An important part of the requirement is that brokers must apply the wash sale rule, which prevents you from claiming a loss on a sale of shares if you buy identical shares within 30 days before or after. Anyone who does a lot of buying and selling might wonder whether the broker applied this rule correctly. You may be surprised to learn that there's no way to be sure. The wash sale rule is a lot more complicated than it appears, and there are unanswered questions about some aspects of its workings. (more…)

There are two sets of rules for taxation of options. One set, which might be called the regular rules, applies to options to buy or sell stock in a company. Different rules apply when options qualify as section 1256 contracts. Section 1256 of the Internal Revenue Code offers unique treatment for these options:
If you use options in your investment strategy, it may be important to know whether options to buy or sell shares in exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, are treated as regular options or section 1256 contracts. The answer: it depends. (more…)

Suppose you sell a business for $10,000,000, claiming your basis is $10,000,000 when it's actually closer to $1,000,000. You'll have to pay tax on that $9,000,000 difference (plus interest and penalties) if the IRS catches you before the statute of limitations runs out. How long do they have to catch you?

Like many Sydney eateries, the food is pricey but what sets this apart is the great atmosphere you find on the Wharf, where there's a good mix of in-and-out business lunchers and the more leisurely locals who chat until sunset. China Doll's offerings are wonderful takes on traditional and modern Chinese cuisine, and all were done perfectly - such as the chili calamari and pork short ribs. However, the highlight was the Panang curry with Wagyu beef, which had been slow braised until you could literally cut it with a spoon. Sensational. The Laroche Petit Chablis was chilled perfectly and was almost as worth the visit itself.

And after minimal results from five decades of Western advice and aid, the progress is led by Africans themselves. This is Part V of the series.
