Senate Committee Passes LPFM Bill
Washington - Jul 22, 2004 - Introduced earlier this month, a bill introduced by Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and Patrick Leahy (D-VT) to remove the third-adjacent channel restrictions for LPFM stations, has been approved by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation.
Sen. Conrad Burns (R-MT) introduced an amendment to the bill to complete the tests that were mandated by Congress but not conducted during the Mitre study on potential LPFM interference. This amendment was defeated. The additional testing would have required the Commission to conduct independent audience testing and an economic impact study. The amendment also called for an $800,000 funding allocation.
However, the committee adopted an amendment by Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) for an exemption in the bill to provide additional interference protection for New Jersey, which has the highest population density in the country and according to Lautenberg is most susceptible to radio interference problems.
The bill now moves to the full Senate for action.
The bill is called S.2505. Read it by following this link.
Clear Channel Accelerates Rollout Of IBOC
San Antonio - Jul 22, 2004 - Clear Channel has launched an advanced technology initiative to "identify, develop and deploy technologies and products that improve the quality of radio for listeners, advertisers and the industry," according to a company press release. In its first moves, the company has named Kevin Lockhart to the newly created position of senior vice president of technology development and announced it will accelerate the rollout of digital radio. Lockhart is the president of Prophet Systems Innovations, an automation manufacturer owned by Clear Channel.
Clear Channel will immediately begin an aggressive rollout of digital broadcasting equipment to 1,000 of the company's stations, working with Ibiquity Digital's HD Radio technology. Specifically, the company plans to install 95 percent of its top 100 markets within three years.
IEEE Starts BPL Standard
Piscataway, NJ - Jul 20, 2004 - The ability to send high-speed digital data over the power lines between substations and homes and offices is attracting increasing attention because it can make every wall outlet a portal to the Internet. In seeking to help realize this potential, the IEEE has begun to develop IEEE P1675, the Standard for Broadband over Power Line Hardware.
When finished, IEEE P1675 will give electric utilities a comprehensive standard for installing the required hardware on distribution lines, both underground and overhead, which provide the infrastructure for broadband-over-power-line (BPL) systems. It also will include installation requirements for the protection of those who work on BPL equipment and to ensure such systems do not place the public at risk. The standard is targeted for completion in mid 2006.
Adding broadband capability to a local power distribution system requires a computer-router combination and a coupler that take the signal from an optical fiber cable as it enters a substation and imposes it on the electric current. The signal travels over the medium-voltage lines, with repeaters placed every 0.5 to 1 mile to keep the signal viable. A repeater/router near a residence or business extracts the signal off the medium voltage just before the transformer and injects it onto the low-voltage wiring on the other side of the transformer. The signal is now on all of the low-voltage wiring within the structure and can be accessed at any outlet by plugging in a modem.
Participants to help develop this standard are invited to join the IEEE 1675 Working Group. More information on this standard and its working group are at grouper.ieee.org/groups/bop. IEEE 1675 is sponsored by the IEEE Power Engineering Society, Power System Communications Committee.
AMBER Alerts Now Online
Phoenix, AZ - Jul 19, 2004 - Effective today, AMBER Alerts are now distributed via the Web, making the message available to pagers, cell phones and wireless communications PDAs. The Web portal was built by E2C of Scottsdale, AZ.
AMBER Alert managers in 13 states will have access to the new portal beginning at 5 p.m. ET. It is expected that Web portal use will expand to the 49 states that have statewide AMBER Alert systems. Hawaii has no statewide system but instead has several local alert networks.
The portal is available in Arizona, Connecticut, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Oregon and Washington.
The main driver behind the portal is the AMBER Alert Web Portal Consortium, a public/private partnership of states, law enforcement, the broadcast media and private corporations. Private corporations support the portal through sponsorships that cover recurring operational costs, thus making the system available to states, law enforcement, broadcast media and the public at no cost.

NAB Testifies Before Senate on DMCA
Washington - Jul 15, 2004 - On behalf of the NAB, Dan Halyburton, senior vice president and general manager group operations of Susquehanna Radio, testified before the House Subcommittee on Intellectual Property. His testimony covered the restrictions imposed by the current streaming laws and how they prevent streaming from becoming a viable business opportunity.
In his testimony, Halyburton stated, "When Congress enacted section 405 of the DMCA, it clearly sought to foster Internet streaming … while preserving the longstanding mutually beneficial relationship between the radio and recording industries. Unfortunately, the potentials of this technology have not been realized."
He noted that in April 2000 there were more than 1,700 U.S. radio stations streaming programming via the Internet, but by the end of 2002, more than 1,000 radio stations had discontinued streaming due in large part to copyright issues. He noted that Susquehanna is still trying to make a go at Internet streaming despite the DMCA, which has made it "impossible to create a viable business model for simulcast streaming. In fact, it is a recipe for losing money, which is what our stations have done."
Halyburton cited several problem areas:
Halyburton then suggested five steps that could be taken to fix the law.
Halyburton concluded his testimony by saying, "Unfortunately, even if the CARP process is fixed, the law will continue to stifle the growth of radio streaming."
RCS Invests in Florical
White Plains, NY, and Gainesville, FL - Jul 23, 2004 - Radio Computing Services (RCS) has made a major investment in Florical Systems (FSI). Philippe Generali, president of RCS, said, "RCS had been searching for the perfect company to help broaden RCS software capabilities for years."

BBM Canada Adopts Arbitron PPM
New York - Jul 21, 2004 - BBM Canada, the Canadian industry consortium for audience ratings, has adopted the Arbitron Portable People Meter (PPM) as the official ratings system for buying and selling commercial airtime on French-language television in Quebec and Montreal.
The PPM-based television ratings service, which has been operating in parallel with the current ratings system in Canada's second largest province since September 2003, will replace push-button people meters beginning in September 2004. BBM will completely phase out push-button people meters in the Quebec market by the end of the year.
The BBM's decision to use the PPM data as the official television ratings came after a year of testing and discussions with all affected industry groups. The BBM was also among the first to conduct extensive analysis of audience data collected from parallel TV meter panels: one panel equipped with the passive PPM technology and the other equipped with push-button, set-top people meters. In addition to extensive data analysis, the BBM Board also formed a committee of its Quebec members who addressed the business issues of changing to PPM.
Earlier this year, the BBM Board of Directors voted unanimously to endorse the PPM as the technology of choice for electronic measurement. The Board has also noted that that there has been a demonstrated interest in adopting electronic measurement for radio in the future.
BBM is also examining the PPM as a potential radio audience measurement system in the province of Quebec. BBM has encoded all 28 local Montreal radio stations and is forming a local committee to look at the current methodology and the data provided by PPM. This committee will examine how to best utilize PPM technology in radio and draft recommendations on future uses of PPM by the BBM for radio audience measurement.

RAB, Arbitron Seek Proposals for PPM Economic Effect Study
New York - Jul 19, 2004 - Arbitron and the Radio Advertising Bureau have issued a request for proposal for a comprehensive study of the economic effect of the Portable People Meter on the radio industry. The study will explore how the PPM system might affect the business of radio including share of ad revenue and how radio sells, programs and promotes the medium. David Pearlman, president, Pearlman Advisors and former senior vice president, Infinity Broadcasting, has been retained by the RAB PPM Task Force and Arbitron as the initial point of contact for consultants and companies who wish to submit a proposal.
The RAB has acknowledged that the timeliness and quality of a ratings system are major factors that affect the flow of dollars into a medium, but making a dramatic change to a new methodology can have a profound impact on how a medium is valued. The effort seeks to determine if the radio industry understands the positives and negatives of electronic measurement.
Arbitron will fund the study and will participate on the RAB PPM Task Force, which will select the winning bid. Proposals must be delivered by Aug. 20, 2004. The project will be awarded by Sept. 30, and the study should be completed by the beginning of 2005.
A complete copy of the RFP is available on the Arbitron and RAB websites at www.arbitron.com/downloads/PPM_Economic_Impact_RFP.pdf and www.rab.com/PPM_Economic_Impact_RFP.pdf.
Contact the project leader, David Pearlman, at email@example.com. After a vendor is selected, Pearlman will remain active as an independent liaison between the vendor and the radio industry.
A sub-committee of RAB PPM Task Force members and Arbitron staff will be available for consultants to ask questions, obtain background, etc. during the preparation of proposals. The Arbitron Radio Advisory Council will also be consulted during the study process.
Clear Channel Cuts Commercials to Gain Ad Dollars
New York - Jul 18, 2004 - Reuters reports that Clear Channel Radio will significantly reduce commercial time sold on its stations to stem pricing weakness and convince marketers of the value of radio advertising.
Clear Channel states that move is to make radio more competitive and eliminate the discounted rate status of radio compared to other media. Clear Channel will reduce its promotional time on Oct. 1. Limits on commercial time will take effect by Jan. 1.
Clear Channel also stated that this move looks to the long-term outlook of radio.
The exact amount of promo and commercial reduction will vary by station format.
In Memory: John D. Kraus
Delaware, OH - Jul 21, 2004 - The ARRL Journal QST reports that
radio astronomer, antenna designer, cosmic explorer and author John D.
Kraus,W8JK, of Delaware, OH, died July 18. He was 94. The following is
QST excerpt.
Kraus is perhaps best known within the amateur radio community for his bi-directional wire beam antenna design, often dubbed the '8JK array. The antenna has remained popular among radio amateurs for decades. Other important Kraus antenna designs include the corner reflector and the helix antenna, often used in amateur satellite antennas as well as in commercial communications applications. The Michigan native was a pioneer of radiotelescope design and the father of the Big Ear telescope, which ceased operation in 1997 after almost 40 years of service.Kraus obtained his bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees from the University of Michigan in the 1930s, and, while working in the school's physics department, helped construct and performed research on the university's cyclotron.
Before and during World War II, Kraus worked for the Naval Ordnance Laboratory (now a part of the Naval Surface Weapons Center) on a project to protect ships from magnetic mines. He's also credited with developing an early walkie-talkie that used UHF frequencies. At Harvard University's Radio Research Laboratory he worked on radar countermeasures, and following the war he helped write a book on the lab's achievements.
In 1946, he joined the faculty of the Ohio State University. He served as a professor of electrical engineering and astronomy at OSU, where he founded and directed the OSU Radio Observatory (OSURO), designing and overseeing construction of the Big Ear radiotelescope on the land owned by Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, OH.
Kraus's classic textbook, Antennas, now in its third edition, has been an engineering school staple for about four decades and can be found in virtually every antenna engineer's library. Among his other titles are Electromagnetics, Radio Astronomy, Big Ear, Big Ear Two and Our Cosmic Universe.
Kraus received many honors over his long career. He became a fellow of the IEEE in 1954 and a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 1972. During the 1950s, he served on President Dwight D. Eisenhower's Science Advisory Committee and on the committee that established the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. Other honors include the OSU Joseph Sullivant Medal -- one of the university's highest awards -- the Outstanding Achievement Award of the University of Michigan, the Centennial Medal and the IEEE Edison Medal.

Since younger children are getting cell phones these days, the Kytephone app was designed to turn a traditional phone into one that is more kid-friendly.
After downloading the app, only the parent who installed it can remove it due to a password being assigned at the installation phase. Using a dashboard program that operates on the computer, the parent of the tech-savvy child can control all of the activity that takes place on the phone. Contacts and apps are only able to be uploaded using the dashboard and file sharing from the handset is disabled. The dashboard also provides a detailed listing of all of the activity that took place on the phone so parents can monitor their child's phone use.
The app also includes a GPS tracking system that alerts parents to the whereabouts of their child's phone so that they are able to keep tabs on their kids from afar.

The bad news for NHL fans is mounting by the day, and it seems to be getting worse.
No training camp, no pre-season, and any day now, likely the loss of the first regular season games of the 2012-13 campaign.
The good news though, especially when compared to the negotiations involving the doomed 2004-05 season, is the fact that the two sides are still talking.
In fact, the NHL and the NHL Players' Association have been talking regularly right through the summer, and have continued to do so since the lockout started on Sep. 15.
Does the fact that the sides are continuing to meet give you reason for optimism?
In the fall of 2004, there were no talks at all for nearly three months once the lockout began on Sep. 15. October and November both passed in silence before talks finally resumed on Dec. 9.
So while it's true that not every 2012 negotiation has centred on core economic issues, the fact that the sides are talking at all can be taken as a positive.
But that said, plenty of other side-effects of the lockout are back with a vengeance. NHL players have signed on overseas, the arenas sit dark, and the only news coming from the league arrives from the board room instead of the dressing room.
So what do you take away from these negotiations? Is there reason for optimism?

Alum helps others heal war wounds through environmental activism
Former Marine works to establish Veterans' Conservation Corps
You could say that being called to active duty following the 9/11 terrorist attacks interrupted Ben Haberthur's education at Cal State Monterey Bay. Or you might say that his active military service refocused it.
Either way, Haberthur's work both as a restoration ecologist and a veterans' advocate received a major boost recently when he was recognized with a TogetherGreen Fellowship Award from Toyota and the National Audubon Society.
Haberthur, who works for the Forest Preserve District of Kane County near Chicago, will use the $10,000 grant on an effort to encourage veterans dealing with the aftermath of their war experiences to work with nature.
Haberthur comes from a military family and, as a result, moved often during his childhood. "I think I always had a love of nature and the outdoors, from spending a lot of time outside growing up and moving around to a lot of beautiful places," he said.
He came to the Monterey Peninsula when his stepfather was studying at the Naval Postgraduate School. He took classes at Monterey Peninsula College before enrolling at CSUMB in Earth Systems Science and Policy, now known as Environmental Science, Technology and Policy.
A Marine Corps reservist, Haberthur was called to active duty in February 2002 and eventually served a tour of nearly six months in Iraq during the early stages of the war.
He said he was struck by the widespread environmental destruction promoted by the Saddam Hussein regime during the fighting.
"They ditched and drained thousands of acres of Iraq's marshlands," he told the Aurora Beacon News. Seeing those environmental costs up close, he said, made him more focused on his career goals.
"I hadn't really been that strong of a student before, but I came back to school with a renewed sense of purpose," Haberthur said.
Another important factor in his successful return to CSUMB were the relationships he had formed with several faculty members. "In making the transition back, it was good to have some familiar faces there to help," he said, including Professors Swarup Wood and Suzy Worcester and Watershed Institute co-director Laura Lee Lienk.
"I know of no more deserving former student than Ben Haberthur for this fine honor," Lienk said. "About a year after his return from Iraq, my program, Return of the Natives Restoration Education Project, hired Ben to be a 'Weed Warrior,' one of a few elite students involved in community-based habitat restoration, in his case through the removal of invasive weed species.
"Ben brought to every volunteer event a sense of fun and camaraderie. I like to think that his good work in the Chicago area may in some way have been affected by his experiences with us coordinating 'Ice plant Pulling Olympics' and 'Weed Geocaching' events in urban communities."
Haberthur said the internships he found through the Watershed Institute and through the efforts of Bill Head of the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Center made it easier for him to find a job following his graduation in 2005. He looked in the Chicago region because his wife and fellow CSUMB graduate, Jennifer Diaz Haberthur, was from that area.
Haberthur has worked as a restoration technician, geographic information systems (GIS) specialist, and a restoration ecologist.
He said that his work with nature helped him recover from the stresses of his military service; he is now hoping to open up a similar experience to other veterans. Having received the grant, he is working on outreach with veterans' and military organizations in his area to find participants in his proposed Veterans' Conservation Corps.
"I think those veterans are a great untapped resource," he said. "But it also is an activity that can really benefit the veterans, having that kind of contact with nature."
The plan is to have the group work on restoration of a 1,131-acre forest preserve in Batavia, Ill., named in honor of World War II veteran Dick Young.
"I was inspired by the story of local hero Dick Young," Haberthur told the TogetherGreen organization. "He was a World War II Marine veteran turned conservationist who was able to overcome all he saw on Iwo Jima to become a leader in the fight to save our region's natural areas.
"He embodied the belief that a country worth protecting is worth preserving."

I am wondering how long flowers will keep growing on a pumpkin plant, It is july 12th and I still haven't had a chance to pollinate a female flower. the plant is inside and has only had maybe 2 female flowers and i missed pollinating them. Do the plants keep producing flowers all year or season or do they stop? |

Mine got to first frost in Zone 4 |
Hey there, If by inside, you mean grown in a container, then this may be your problem. Pumpkins need room, foliage and roots. If by inside, you mean in the ground in a greenhouse, then could you tell me how many plants you have? Like most plants like this one (squashes, cucerbits, and whatnot), they do better if you can cross pollinate with another. Also, if you have multiple plants they will mature at different times, and they will be able to pollinate eachother better because flowers will mature at different times on the plants. As for the longevity of the flowers, my experience has been the male flowers show up in the center, then the female flowers show up as the vines grow. So, during a small window, the males show up, last a while, then shrivel and die. The females grow pretty much through the summer, then the production dies off toward the end of summer. Good luck, |
male flowers happen around the base of any vine [the crown of the plant or where the side vines come out] - males can last for a week or more and be viable, females usually only last a day or 2 and are most fertile the morning of the first day they are fully open - unless you have the plant in a tightly closed area there will be bees or ants or whatever that will pollinate, and hand pollination shouldn't really be necessary except under unusual circumstances, tho as said it's a good idea to have more than 1 plant [any squash family variety] - the plant will keep producing blooms [male and female] until it's killed by cold Bill |
I hope you have a variety of pumpkin that doesn't grow as much. I can't imagine a greenhouse big enough to contain the moster vines my pumpkins produce. at least inside, the SVB moth shouldn't cause any problems. |

LOS ANGELES, November 13, 201 – After six years of campaigning for the job he has held for the last four, a reelected President Obama began his second term with a campaign rally.
Eschewing the traditional media session traditions of dignity and decorum, Mr. Obama came out to a sustained standing ovation. His message of bipartisanship and "coming together" translated into "I won, now shut up and compromise."
With the looming fiscal crisis set to explode, President Obama has a chance to offer even the slightest hint of a plan to actually govern. Instead, the American people were offered tired platitudes that long ago stopped being truthful.
The time has come for "action, not politics as usual."
No, that was four years ago. He had four years to solve problems, two of them with a Democratic Congress. He played golf and basketball.
The "top priority has to be jobs and growth."
Four years ago he said that, and instead he rammed a healthcare bill down American throats that a majority of voters still dislike. Would he now tell us exactly how he would create real jobs, or would he stubbornly cling to what he really cares about? His own words in their full context again reveal what he truly cares about.
We need to "invest" in "education and training."
Pumping more money into failed public schools does not create a single job anywhere. In fact, it bolsters teachers' unions at the very expense of the children being taught. One can debate the merits of education, but like healthcare it has precisely zero to do with creating jobs.
Mr. Obama again mentioned "clean energy."
In his world, putting the coal industry out of business creates jobs. In the real world, coal and oil actually power the American economy while green energy like Solyndra wastes tax dollars. Can anybody explain how "investing" billions of dollars in alternative energy will create a single real job in America today?
Mr. Obama has grandiose visions of the future. People are hurting today.
Problems should be solved in a "balanced and responsible way." In other words, everything President Obama agrees with is balanced and responsible and anyone disagreeing with him is a selfish, irresponsible, uncaring plutocrat.
"We can't just cut our way to prosperity."
President Obama has cut absolutely nothing. Name a single program he has cut. For liberals who love to sneer about "simple math" and "common sense," explain the difference between an actual cut and a slowing of a rate of growth. Then explain how piling on trillions of dollars of debt is actually a cut. Then explain how more "investment" will result in less debt. Calling the sun the moon does not make it so.
President Obama is hell-bent on "asking the wealthiest to pay more in taxes." In his world, "That is the only way we can still afford to train our workers."
This makes about as much sense as saying that we must spend billions of dollars on video games to help children learn motor skills. Then we can spend more money on the children by having them treated for repetitive stress syndrome. President Obama pretends to be flexible, yet then claims that his way of thinking is "the only way."
The man is a walking contradiction. Late into his press conference he offered completely divergent statements that make sense only in his world.
"I am not wedded to every detail of my plan. I am open to compromise. I am open to new ideas."
Suspend reality momentarily and pretend he actually means this. Pretend that a man who attacks the character of anyone disagreeing with him is capable of working with others. Even if one suspended reality and invented another fictional Obama persona, observe his next sentence.
"I refuse to accept any approach that isn't balanced."
That is the real Barack Obama. He decides what is "reasonable" and "balanced." His way is "fair."
It is time that somebody explain to Obama what the self-evident concept of "working together" actually means.
Working together means not referring to Republicans as "hostage takers." It also means seeing conservatives as a noble opposition who are against raising taxes because it is bad policy. It means being honest in negotiations and not going back on one's word after a deal has been reached.
Veteran reporter Bob Woodward pointed out that the last round of negotiations over the debt ceiling blew up because Mr. Obama negotiated in bad faith.
Working together means not claiming a mandate that does not exist.
"On Tuesday night we found out the majority of Americans agree with my approach."
Tell that to Nancy Pelosi. She is not going anywhere near that Speaker's gavel.
"All we need is action from the House."
The House Republicans passed budgets. Senate Democrats did not. Mr. Obama's proposals were so unserious that they were rejected 99-0 and 97-0.
President Obama did not speak one word about Social Security, Medicare or other cost drivers of the debt.
Liberals who want to return to Planet Earth need to be honest with themselves, if not the America people. The left wants a green economy, national healthcare, and increased public spending on education. They deeply believe in more spending on everything except the military. They don't want to fix the fiscal cliff. They want higher taxes so they can spend more. They call it investment, but in the real world this is called spending.
Americans did not vote for this in 2008 or 2012. If they did, liberals would not need to keep their intention hidden. President Obama did not even use the words "higher taxes" until after his reelection.
The reality is very simple. Medicare, Social Security, and other entitlements are what is bankrupting this country. The Bush tax cuts and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have zero to do with the problem. Mr. Obama can blame straw men based on his being a leftist ideologue, or he can level with Americans on what the real problems are. Until President Obama offers a clear plan on how to restructure and strengthen entitlements, he does not deserve to be seen as a serious individual worthy of our listening ears.
Mr. Obama won the election, but respect has to be earned. Until proven otherwise, he remains unworthy of receiving this respect. This is fine, since he certainly does not give it to others who actually are serious about solving America's problems.

Many real estate investors have serious financial problems due to declining real estate values and credit problems. During the past few months a large portion of my banrkuptcy and asset protection inquiries are from people who find themselves unable to pay mortgages they used to buy investment real estate near the end of the housing bubble. Several of my callers, and people who have become clients, have asked me about the consequences of giving a bank a deed in lieu of foreclosure or selling the property for less than full mortgage balance as part of an agreed "short sale." (A "short sale" is where the bank agrees to accept less than the mortgage balance to release the mortgage in order to facilitate a sale and partial recovery of the loan).
One issue that frequently is discussed is the income tax consequences for the borrower from a short sale of deed in lieu as opposed to letting the bank foreclose. Income tax may be imposed for a cancellation of a debt. ("COD") I am not an income tax professional. Recently, I posed the question to my personal CPA, Mr. Lonnie Young of Lake Mary, Florida, and asked him to explain the income tax consequences of giving property back to a mortgage lender.
Mr. Young responded that the borrower does not recognize income tax for COD from a foreclosure, but there is addtional income tax liability from either a short sale or a deed in lieu of foreclosure which results in COD. He reaffirmed my understanding that there is never COD income tax liability for people who file bankruptcy or are otherwise insolvent. He sent me a passage from one of his CPA tax books pertaining to the issue, which information I am quoting below for everyone's benefit.
Why is it that I may have both gain (or loss) and COD income upon foreclosure of my house?
In many home foreclosures, the mortgage debt is recourse and the fair market value (FMV) of the house is less than the unpaid face amount of the debt. Often in this situation the borrower/debtor transfers the house to the lender (or to a third party), either through a deed in lieu of foreclosure or as a result of a foreclosure proceeding. This transfer is treated as a sale or other disposition of the property and results in the borrower/transferor realizing gain or loss. At the time of the transfer, the lender often cancels the remaining mortgage debt, leading to COD income.
Different rules may apply if the mortgage debt is nonrecourse.
What is COD income, and how is it calculated?
Loan proceeds are not included in income when received because there is an offsetting obligation to repay. However, if the debt is cancelled in part or full in a foreclosure proceeding, you will have COD income equaling the difference between the unpaid amount of the debt and the FMV of the property you transfer to the lender or a third party to discharge that debt. For example, if your debt prior to foreclosure was $200,000 and the FMV of the property was $170,000, you would have $30,000 of COD income.
Note: If you borrow money from a friend or relative and he or she cancels all or part of the debt, the cancellation often is treated as a gift from the lender to you. Gifts, including gifts of cancelled debts, are excludible from income. However, the cancellation of debt by a commercial lender is not a gift.
Can the amount of COD income be affected by other liabilities relating to the property?
The existence of other liabilities, such as property taxes, can either increase or reduce the amount of your COD income. For example, there may be unpaid property taxes that are treated as imposed on you for federal tax purposes. If you have not provided funds to pay the property taxes, the taxes generally either remain as unpaid charges against the property after foreclosure or must be satisfied from the sales proceeds from the foreclosed property prior to any application of such proceeds to satisfaction of the debt. The unpaid liabilities reduce the amount of the FMV of the property that is available for satisfaction of the debt and must be taken into account in computing the amount of COD income.
For example, suppose your debt prior to foreclosure was $200,000 and the FMV of the property was $170,000, but you had $10,000 of unpaid property taxes. In this situation, because the FMV of the property available to satisfy the debt would be only $160,000 ($170,000 FMV less $10,000 unpaid taxes), the COD income would be $40,000 ($200,000 debt less $160,000 FMV).
On the other hand, if you pay property taxes that for federal income tax purposes are treated as imposed on the owner of the property, this may reduce the amount of your cancelled debt income. Thus, if you paid $10,000 of property taxes that for federal income tax purposes are imposed on the owner of the property after the foreclosure, your FMV would be $180,000 ($170,000 plus $10,000) and your COD income would be $20,000 ($200,000 debt less $180,000 FMV).
How do I compute gain or loss on a disposition by foreclosure?
Gain or loss is the difference between your amount realized and your adjusted basis in the property. In general, an amount realized by the transferor on a foreclosure or other transfer of property is the sum of:(1) the amount of money received; (2) the FMV of any other property received; and (3) the amount of any other liabilities that the transferee (the person acquiring the property) either assumes or takes the property subject to.
Give an example involving recourse debt in which both gain and COD income results on the foreclosure.
If the face amount of the recourse debt is $200,000, the FMV of the property is $170,000, and the adjusted basis is $120,000, you have $30,000 of COD income ($200,000 debt less $170,000 FMV) and $50,000 of gain ($170,000 FMV (amount realized) less $120,000 adjusted basis).
If the mortgage debt is nonrecourse, is there COD income on the foreclosure?
If your mortgage debt is nonrecourse, the debt is greater than the FMV of the house, and the house is foreclosed upon, your amount realized will be the face amount of the unpaid mortgage debt. Thus, if the amount of the nonrecourse debt is $200,000, the FMV of the property is $170,000, and the adjusted basis of the property is $120,000, your gain on foreclosure is $80,000 ($200,000 amount realized less $120,000 adjusted basis). No portion of the gain on property subject only to nonrecourse debt is COD income.
If your house is foreclosed upon and your mortgage debt is recourse, are there circumstances in which you may have gain or loss but not COD income?
There are at least two situations involving recourse debt in which foreclosure results in gain or loss, but not in COD income.
First, sometimes when a house is transferred to the lender by foreclosure the lender does not cancel the remaining unpaid portion of the debt. This could happen if the lender believes it can still collect the balance of the debt. In that circumstance, you would not have COD income until the lender discharged the debt or the statute of limitations on collection of the debt expired. The gain or loss on the foreclosure is the difference between the FMV of the property and its adjusted basis.
Second, sometimes the FMV of a house that is foreclosed upon is greater than the amount of the debt. If the FMV is sufficient to pay the debt in full, the debt is satisfied and there is no COD income because no part of the debt was discharged or cancelled. For example, if the FMV of the house was $200,000, the amount of the debt was $140,000, and the adjusted basis of the house was $110,000, the gain on the sale of the house is $90,000 ($200,000 FMV (amount realized) less $110,000 adjusted basis), but there is no COD income because the FMV of the house is $60,000 ($200,000 FMV less $140,000 debt), which is more than enough to satisfy the debt in full.
Can COD income ever be excluded from my gross income?
You may be able to exclude all or part of the cancelled debt income if all or part of the debt was discharged in bankruptcy, if you were insolvent immediately before the transfer, or if the debt is a qualified farm debt or qualified real property indebtedness. Refer to Publication 908 (PDF),Bankruptcy Tax Guide.
How do I report COD income on my return?
COD income is ordinary income and is reported on Line 21 of your return.
Can gain on the foreclosure of my house be excluded from my gross income?
If the house is your principal residence, you may be able to exclude part of all of the gain under I.R.C. 121. See Publication 523, Selling Your Home.
How do I report a foreclosure gain or loss on my return?
Gain or loss on the foreclosure of your house usually is capital gain or loss. However, a loss on the foreclosure of your residence is not deductible. Capital gains are reported on Form 1040, Schedule D (PDF). If, however, the gain on the foreclosure of your residence is excluded under I.R.C. 121, you are not required to report the gain on your return.

Optical microscopes are today's main source of information in the field of biology and rapidly improving technology has provided researchers with further insight to the workings of life on earth. Because normal microscopes are limited to what the human eye is capable of seeing, many researchers use hyperspectral imaging as a means to see more. While our eyes are limited to differentiating objects based on their color, hyperspectral imaging is capable of seeing everything by identifying chemicals based on their spectral fingerprint and this is the beauty of the technology.
Rebellion Photonics can offer the scientific community faster, easier, and more reliable chemical imaging of liquids, solids, and live cell samples, unlike anything that has ever been seen before.

"Hasselblad is the Stradivari of digital cameras." - Gregory Colbert
Gregory Colbert World renowned artist Gregory Colbert (http://www.ashesandsnow.com/) is a world-renowned filmmaker and photographer and the creator of Ashes and Snow, an exhibition of large-scale photographic artworks and 35mm films housed in the Nomadic Museum. Since 2002 the exhibition has migrated to five cities on three continents and has become the most attended exhibition by any artist in history.
Ashes and Snow has received over ten million visitors, making it the most attended exhibition by any artist in history.
Over the past eighteen years Colbert has been on more than seventy expeditions to some of the earth's most remote locations to film and photograph wondrous interactions between human beings and animals. His animal collaborators include elephants, whales, manatees, sacred ibis, Antigone cranes, royal eagles, gyr falcons, rhinoceros hornbills, cheetahs, leopards, African wild dogs, caracals, leopards, baboons, elands, meerkats, gibbons, and orangutans.
I have long used both Hasselblad and Canon film cameras. I began using the Hasselblad H3DII-39 just over two years ago (and the Hasselblad H3DII-50 more recently). The transition has been simple, in large part due to the ease of use of both of the H3DII-39 and the H3DII-50.
I do not think about taking pictures but rather about making images, much in the way that a musician might compose a narrative piece. Hasselblad is the Stradivari of digital cameras, the most sophisticated photographic instrument that I can use to create images and tell stories. The Hasselblad is like a musical instrument that has a wide range of octaves. It provides nuances of color as well as phenomenal resolution.
Since 2002 the exhibition has migrated to five cities on three continents
On the production side, while there have been compelling practical reasons to switch to digital for some time—including reducing one's environmental footprint—before moving away from film I had to ensure that a digital file could provide comparable or even superior quality. Most of my large-scale photographic artworks are approximately 80x130, some even larger. The extremely high resolution of Hasselblad digital files allows me virtually no restrictions when determining the scale of the final work.
I look forward to revealing the results of my walkabouts with my Hasselblads in 2012.

Ok you've got light, dark and neutral (which ca be comboed with either) as your most basic factions. Normally your team must be alignment coherent (ie no light and dark on the same side) however each model also belongs to an organization. If you build your team as an org you can break the alignment coherency rules so long as all models belong to the organization. I belive there are also supposed to be bonuses available to each organization which will be in the full rulebook (whenever it is released).
So far the organizations are:
The Empire- the primary political and millitary force on Gaia (the setting) and is mostly made up of heavily armored fighters
The Church- the primary religious force in the world and loosly affiliated with the empire but at this point its own political entity, mostly made up of mystics and more lightly armored warriors
The Azure Alliance - a break away group of former imperial provinces mostly made up of sneaky assasin-like and light warriors
Samaell- An alliance of nonhumans (Nehpilliem?) working together for political advancement and survival, lots of mystic types
Widershant(sp?)- A group dedicated to the advancement of science which largely invoves delving into forbidden lore and gererally acting like mad sceintists, lots of prowler type characters and characters with ranged attacks (guns!)
Wanderers- pretty much just what it sounds like, I think that they can be incorperated into any faction (not sure), and are sort of a grab bag with a little bit of everything. Most of the asian type characters have so far been of this faction.
I hope this post helps :-)

Particularly noteworthy was his breakthrough Vitti show at Pirate in 1996, where he displayed paintings of antique gowns, some of them hung upside down. But last year, for his annual Pirate outing, Batura threw the art world a curve with Well, a show crammed with his haphazardly installed life's work. At the time, Well seemed like an act of surrender--the title was evocative, but it was unclear whether Batura was referring to a well of creativity or a well of despair. Looking back, Batura says, "I realize now that what I was doing in that show, unconsciously, was creating the Forney Museum at Pirate."
The paintings at the Forney mark a major shift for Batura in terms of subject matter. He has long worked within the still-life tradition, in which objects are depicted intimately and in close-up detail. These new pieces, on the other hand, are landscapes. And unlike the Vitti gown paintings, which featured what Batura calls "empty zones," the recent work is "complicated."
The inspiration for this series of train-wreck paintings was an archive of photographs taken by Otto Perry, a local train enthusiast who bequeathed them to the Western History Collection of the Denver Public Library, where Batura carries on his day job. Batura used illustrations from old books for the images in the Vitti series, so it's not surprising to find him using archival material as a source in these new paintings. In the Perry archive, Batura says, "there are sixty or seventy photographs of train wrecks, all of them regional scenes, but with little information of where or when"--which was fine by him. "I wasn't interested in the locale or why it happened. Those things weren't important to me. I'm not into tragedy or sadness," he says. Rather, he distances himself from the reality of the scene and uses it not to tell the story of a train wreck, but as a compositional device. As he points out, "The crash gives the landscape scene an abstract quality."
This attribute is obvious in all five of the Batura paintings on display at the Forney (several other small paintings, shown at the opening reception, have since been removed). The first painting, hung high on the wall to the right of the entrance (and apart from the others), is an eight-foot square panel titled "June 26th 1926." Beneath a rose-colored tint, the listing passenger cars create an array of diagonal lines that guide the viewer's sight from the foreground of the picture all the way to the gold stand of trees in the background. Across the bottom is the crash debris; while the crushed metal takes on the character of an abstract-expressionist field, in the context of the rest of the painting, it's wholly representational.
Like the others, this painting has been carried out with casein, a rarely used and all but archaic milk-based pigment, applied to a birch board. It's the casein, according to Batura, that creates the gorgeous flat sheen in these paintings. His use of casein and wood is just the latest example of Batura's interest in off-beat, little-used materials and methods.
Hung even higher and to the left is "November of 1935," one of three paintings displayed on the west wall. In the piece, which measures six by twelve feet, Batura has painted a stack of box cars that have tumbled down a ravine. Once again, the diagonal lines of the wrecked train make for a lively composition with a convincing illusion of depth. But in this painting, the diagonals do not lead the viewer's eye to the back of the picture, as in "June 26th 1926"; instead, they provide a visual ladder to the top.
"Midwinter 1903" is the most conventional painting of the series; at first glance it reads like a traditional landscape. Batura skillfully creates the atmosphere of the frigid scene, with falling snow partly obscuring the forest background. Painted on a six-by-twelve-foot horizontal panel, the wrecked train runs level across the middle, exaggerating the piece's elongated shape.
Another painting that's also pretty much an old-fashioned landscape save for the inclusion of the wreck itself is "Forty-One," which, unlike the others, is hung at eye level. In this piece, Batura captures a claustrophobic--and acrophobic--view of a train that has fallen down the steep walls of a canyon.
Interestingly, with paintings like "Midwinter 1903" and "Forty-One," Batura links his work to that of other regional artists such as Chuck Forsman and Don Stinson, who put a contemporary spin on the Western landscape. This is a new connection for his work.
Batura's show runs for only one more week. It's set to close on October 1, which is also the day the Forney closes its doors in preparation for its move across town. By coinciding his show with this momentous event, Batura has done the art world a service by exposing hundreds of its denizens to the marvelous lost-in-the-past atmosphere of the Forney's current home--a quality that will most assuredly be a casualty of the move.
New paintings by Stephen Batura, through October 1 at the Forney Transportation Museum, 1416 Platte Street, 303-433-3643.

My Craftsman Lawn Tractor is 2 years old. It runs fine untill the gas in the tank is down to 1/3rd down and then it quits running. I have to fill it up to the top and then it works fine again. Why won't it use all the gas in the tank up before quiting? Its frustrating! |

Providing the Sears 917.xxxxxx number would allow one to see more specific details such as- Does the engine have a fuel pump or is it gravity flow etc. I'm simply not going approach 2 different directions at the same time when I know one is a total waste of time. |
Craftsman Lawn Tractor #917.28910 Electric Start Auto Trans. 20hp 42" mower deck Mower will run untill gas tank is 1/2 to 2/3rds full and then quits. if I fill it back up to completely full it runs fine, but it won't use all the gas in the tank. What good is it to have a big tank if it won't use all the fuel? |
- Posted by bill_kapaun Z8 Orygun (My Page) on Thu, Apr 19, 12 at 15:42
The engine in that according to Sears is a Briggs 331877-0946-B1 However, when I plug that number into the Briggs website, it doesn't come up???? In the meantime, I'll suggest this approach- You could also look at the tank location. IS IT a true Gravity Feed tank? Let us know what set up you have. |

Paperwork mistake causes vehicle registration confusion
By MATTHEW KENWRIGHT
By MATTHEW KENWRIGHT
A misprint on commercial vehicle registration paperwork caused approximately 50 people to believe they had to pay for their vehicle tags earlier than expected.
Jeannine Koranda, public information officer at the Kansas Department of Revenue, said the state mailed a form that did not reflect a special extension that was offered to account for a new vehicle registration system.
Although some tags expired Dec. 31, the deadline to pay for those new tags is Feb. 28.
Kathleen Brenner, motor vehicle administrator for Ellis County, said several dozen people came in because they were confused. Although some commercial tags for heavy trucks and trailers expired Dec. 31, owners will not be ticketed until March 1.
"Technically, the registration expires at that time, but there's a grace period until the end of February," Brenner said.
The state's new payment system for commercial vehicles replaced the property tax or ad-valorem tax with a fee that is collected at the time of registration. This fee is determined by the weight of the commercial vehicles.

Specifications, Availability and Pricing
This all black water cooler chassis is made of 1.2 - 3.0mm (depending on which part) aluminum and measures in at 22.5" tall, 245.5"deep and over 9" wide including the doors. The front of the case opens to reveal the drive bays and its edges are left bare to accent the all-black facade. Speaking of the drive bays, the Ikonik allows for up to five drives to be placed in the front 5.25" bays; the bottom most bay is bracketed to accept a floppy drive right out of the box. As far as giving your hard drives a home, the Ra X10 Liquid allows for six drives under the optical drives, as well as an additional two drive removable tray, for a total of eight 3.5-inch bays. Buyers will be happy to see that the case allows for µATX, ATX, CEB and E-ATX motherboards, which should accommodate about 95% of home built systems.
The Ikonik Ra X10 features a magnetic cover that blocks the dust from entering the front I/O ports. Under this rubber mat you will find 2 X eSATA, 4 X USB 2.0, an IEEE 1394 port, as well as the 3.5mm audio and microphone jacks. The door of the Ikonik is shipped with two separate mesh panels, but the case also ships with clear Lexan panels for you to be able to swap out the mesh for a clear window if desired, or any combination of the two options. Last, but surely not the least, is the already assembled water cooling loop included with the Liquid version and the included SIM management system.
The short and fast version of the SIM system is this. It uses a software application in conjunction with the hardware module (that I will show later) to control all aspects of cooling the PC. The SIM controls all of the thirteen included fans in groups for a custom cooling solution, as well as controlling the variable speed pump. This system also can monitor temperatures via probes included. Just connect them to the module and secure them to what you want to cool. The application will give you fan speeds, with control over them, and up to six temperature readings, with an alarm option.
Availability at this time is slightly limited. Google shopping has only brought one hit to my attention and looks at this time to only be sold at Newegg. Digging a bit deeper, I found the Ra X10 Liquid to be listed for$419.99 plus shipping at Newegg. This price may seem a bit steep to some, but if you were to sit back and calculate a decent all aluminum chassis, then add your own water cooling, I'm sure you will see that Ikonik hasn't priced themselves out of the market at all. Rather, they have taken almost all the hassle out of water cooling and hands over a chassis that is ready to run, aside from the addition of the coolant.

September 1, 2010
As a donor, I feel that contributions to the Lancaster Farmland Trust are a permanent investment in preserving some of the best soils in the nation for food production. I see the use of prime farmland for shopping, commercial, and housing development that could easily go in other spaces. I also see the impact that farmland preservation has had on the farming heritage and viability of agriculture in Lancaster County, a county known for a unique mix of cultures.
The farmland preservation issue became so important to me that now I am also a member of the Board of Trustees. I have learned that the staff is one of the most professional groups of people I know, that expenses are kept low so that as much money as possible goes toward presevation and stewardship, and that private contributions are doubled or tripled with matches from foundation and government grants. The Lancaster Farmland Trust has also been able to obtain the agricultural easements that preserve the land at extremely low per acre costs, further multiplying the impact of monies contributed. This organization has a huge impact on our and our children's future for food, agriculture, and open space.
The Great!

Let's take a quick look at the interface.
And, yes, it has changed in Photoshop 6.
You'll notice that if you get into Illustrator, InDesign, even Lightroom,
the interfaces are coming together in terms of the way they look.
And some of the feature sets that we can create can be moved
from program to program, giving us easy access
to everything we need to get the job done.
Now over on the left, of course, is the toolbar. There are some new tools over there.
But if you, like some people, like it the old way where it was doubled,
you can click this button right here, and it still allows
you to take it back to the traditional toolbar.
What you're doing if you go single is you're giving yourself just a little bit more room,
left and right, and one thing about Photoshop, it's about real estate, too.
Pull-down menus are about the same. Of course, there's new things here.
But one of the cool things is, if you look over here,
the way this system is set up is with Essentials.
And that's this button right here.
If I click that button, I can change to other types of workspaces.
Now we're going to get into workspaces in the next chapter, but watch this.
New in CS6. Check that one.
Now go to the pull-down menus.
See all those things that are outlined blue? They're new features. Or enhanced features.
So if you're pretty good with CS5.5,
and you're saying, well, you know, I kinda wonder what's new in CS6,
but I don't want to really have to dig for it.
All you really have to do is change it right over here,
and you can find every new feature and figure them out.
Let's go back to Essentials for now. Let's open an image.
Let's go to the word File, real quick, go to Bridge.
That's my favorite way to open images. Let's just open something real quick.
Because something changed down here.
What it says down here is Document Size 34.9 MB / 34.9 MB.
The number on the left represents the size of the file saved
as a single-layer document on your hard drive.
The file size on the right represents its working size in Adobe Photoshop. So watch this.
If I come over here and drag background—that's the layer that contains that photo—
on top of the New icon, that'll give me a copy.
Now you'll notice the file size doubled. It went to 69. This number stayed the same.
This number on the right is the one you really have to look at.
If you're thinking the program's going slow on you,
you may just be working on a huge file as a working document.
Don't forget, also, when you come over here,
when you change a tool, the options that control the tool
are directly up here right in front of your face. It's been that way for years.
So if we go to the Move tool, we can, oh, autoselect things by group.
We can show transform controls. If we go to the Marquee tool, we can feather, or we can try a style, maybe fixed ratio or fixed size.
It's up to you. But the whole idea of this interface and the reason they are changing it is not to frustrate anybody.
They're doing it because they're bringing the systems together
in a way that reduces complexity and helps us be creative.
I mean, I think that's the whole goal here.
So real quick, in a nutshell, there's your interface.
Hope you enjoy it. On to the next.

In statements to the Philippine Inquirer, Father Patrick Guru described the slain priest as an energetic man who came from Indonesia two years ago "to serve and to bring peace," and he ended up becoming a victim of the violence that has shaken the country.
Father Guru, who is also Indonesian, said, "We should condemn this killing, and all killings. It is very easy to kill and therefore we should create a peaceful atmosphere, beginning with ourselves." Father Guru said he did not know the motive behind the killing but that he was confident authorities would find those responsible.
He also said that when Father Fransiskus came to the Philippines he was very happy. "He had wanted to be a missionary and spread the Word," Father Guru recalled, noting he had learned the local dialect in less than two years and that he almost never traveled to Manila because he worked in Kalinga, where he died.
"He liked to work in that remote area," Father Guru said.
Both priests are from the Indonesian island of Flores, where the population is mostly Catholic, and for families it is a great joy that a child becomes a priest or religious.
Father Guru said that for priests born in a predominantly Muslim country like Indonesia, working in a country as Catholic as the Philippines is cause for joy.
For the Society of the Divine Word, to which both priests belong, it has been very difficult to face the death of Father Fransiskus, one of the youngest priests. "But we must accept it. We don't know when God will call us. He is the one who gave us life and the only one that can take it," Father Guru added.
"As missionaries, we are prepared to go to any place where we are sent. We are prepared not only to spread the Word of God, but also to die in a country that is not our own," he said.

Album Rating: 4.3 | Sound OffFIS lives just down the road from me
That Rival Dealer should eschew such an all-encompassing acceptance for something more fortuitously confrontational is perhaps the far more bigger shift in styles that should be addressed and debated over by the thousands of wide-eyed naysayers over at dsf.com and the like, than any apparent shifts in Burial's musical makeup.

Abstract Details
Exploring hepatitis B: a neglected disease
Loo NM, Pryce DJ. Minn Med. 2012 May;95(5):37-40.
Department of Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic, USA.
Chronic hepatitis B viral (HBV) infection can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure, or hepatocellular carcinoma. In the United States, HBV infection is commonly associated with high-risk behaviors such as intravenous drug use or unprotected sex; but it is not as well-known among health care providers that HBV can be transmitted from mother to baby during birth. Worldwide, the majority of cases of chronic HBV infection are in people who contracted the virus during birth. There is a lack of awareness in the United States that immigrants from HBV-endemic countries may be at high risk for chronic HBV. Thus, at-risk individuals may not be screened for HBV. The most recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines recommend HBV screening for all people born in Asia, all U.S.-born persons who were unvaccinated as infants and whose parents were born in regions of high HBV endemicity (> or = 8%), and individuals with parenteral risk factors. Screening for HBV starts with HBsAg (hepatitis B surface antigen), HBsAb (antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen), and total anti-HBc (total antibody to hepatitis B core antigen) testing. For those who are HBV-negative (HBsAg-negative) and have no evidence of prior immunity, the three-part HBV vaccination series is recommended.

Mario Cantone, the celebrated New York stage actor and stand-up comedian gained critical acclaim with his Tony-nominated one-man show Laugh Whore, from its appearance at the Cort Theatre on Broadway to the Showtime special. The previous theatre season saw Cantone starring in the Tony-winning Assassins by Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman. Both of hit shows were directed by four-time Tony-winner Joe Mantello.
An accomplished stage actor, Cantone has appeared on Broadway in the role of "Buzz" in Terrence McNally's award-winning dramatic comedy, Love! Valor! Compassion! and "Stephano" in Shakespeare's The Tempest at the Public Theater.
He starred in the June release of Sony's animated film, Surf's Up, and appeared in the hilarious film The Aristocrats. On television, Cantone can currently be seen as Anthony, Charlotte's wedding-planner-with-attitude, now that HBO's Sex and the City is in syndication on TBS, E and many other stations. As well as the Sex and the City movie franchise. On Comedy Central, Cantone's performances have been featured on The USO Comedy Tour, Chappelle's Show, and various other network specials.
Cantone has performed his irreverent stand-up comedy at a wide range of venues, including Carnegie Hall, where he warmed up jazz great Shirley Bassey, to performances at Atlantic City's Borgata and Atlantic Club, Headlining at Gotham Comedy and Caroline's on Broadway. Over the years his routines have included musical parodies of Judy Garland, Jim Morrison, Peggy Lee, Bruce Springsteen and Liza Minnelli.
Cantone got his start hosting the local New York children's show Steampipe Alley, where the comic slipped in sly pop culture innuendo that adults could enjoy. His other television credits include appearances on Late Night with David Letterman, Jimmy Fallon, Oprah, Martha, The Today Show, and through out it's 15 year run, multiple appearances on ABC's The View.
