IRS Reduces Penalties If Tax Cheats Come Clean
Washington (AP) - International tax evaders who come clean will be able to avoid jail and pay reduced fines under a new voluntary disclosure program announced by the Internal Revenue Service Tuesday.
Tax cheats will have until Aug. 31 to settle up with the IRS or face an ongoing crackdown against Americans who hide assets overseas, IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman said.
"If we find you, you face harsher penalties and the possibility of jail time," Shulman said. "If you come in voluntarily, you pay a steep price but avoid going to jail."
The offer is similar to one the IRS made in 2009 that netted 15,000 tax evaders. Shulman said the IRS has closed 2,000 of those cases, collecting $400 million in additional revenue.
Shulman said the new offer isn't as generous because he doesn't want to reward tax cheats who waited two years to come forward.
Under the new program, tax evaders must pay back taxes, interest and delinquency penalties for the past eight years, if accounts have been held that long. In addition, they will have to pay a penalty of up to 25 percent of the highest annual amount in the overseas account from 2003 through 2010.
Shulman said the 2009 disclosure program provided the IRS with many leads on the bankers and financial advisers who help Americans hide assets. He said the IRS is now investigating "a number of other banks" and is tracking the flow of illicit money.
"We've been getting better and better at detecting offshore accounts. Therefore, the risk of being caught is increasing," Shulman said. "We now have a number of other banks under investigation based on information we received from our first round of disclosures and from other sources. Tax secrecy continues to erode."
Shulman declined to provide details about any ongoing investigations.
The IRS long has had a policy that certain tax evaders who come forward before they are contacted by the agency usually can avoid jail time as long as they agree to pay back taxes, interest and hefty penalties. Drug dealers and money launderers need not apply. But if the money was earned legally, tax evaders can usually avoid criminal prosecution.
Fewer than 100 people apply for the program in a typical year, in part because the penalties can far exceed the value of the hidden account, depending on how long the account holder has evaded U.S. taxes.
Shulman said the IRS expected about 1,000 people to come forward under the 2009 program that netted 15,000. Since the program ended, an additional 3,000 people with offshore accounts have contacted the IRS, Shulman said. They will be eligible for the new program.
"As I've said all along, the goal is to get people back into the U.S. tax system," Shulman said. "This new disclosure initiative is the last, best chance for people to get back into the system."

Yes. In fact, most people purchase short-term disability insurance through their employer.
Let Insurance.com help you find affordable health insurance now.
Short-term disability insurance replaces a percentage of your income in the event of illness or accident that interrupts your ability to make a living. These policies have a waiting period of up to 14 days and have a benefit period of no more than two years.
Many states require employers to provide this coverage. At some companies, the employer pays the full amount of a short-term disability policy. In other cases, the employee must help pay the premiums. Contact your human resources department to find out whether short-term disability coverage is available and how much it will cost you.
A policy that you get through your employer has two major benefits. First, it's typically a group disability insurance plan, meaning rates are lower than what you would pay if you purchased an individual policy. In addition, group polices are "guaranteed issue," so you won't have to participate in a medical exam before securing coverage.
While it's important to have short-term disability coverage, such protection may not be adequate, particularly if you experience a longer-lasting condition that keeps you from working. In such instances, a long-term disability policy can offer income protection lasting from many years through the rest of your life.
The Insurance Information Institute recommends that most workers purchase an individual disability policy to supplement their employer-based coverage. Such individual policies can replace from 50 percent to 70 percent of your income in the event of an illness or accident that leaves you unable to work.

Family rushes to Mexico to Stieben's side

A Hays businessman is lying in a Mexico hospital in critical condition, his family at his side waiting for him to stabilized so he can be transferred to a U.S. hospital.
LaVerne Stieben, 61, part owner of Bieker Insurance Agency, suffered a heart attack early Tuesday morning while vacationing in Cancun with his wife, Dorothy Stieben.
The couple arrived in Cancun on Oct. 21, and Dorothy said she and her husband "had a great day on Monday." She said he didn't feel well when he went to bed but thought he had indigestion.
He awoke in the middle of the night sweating and uncomfortable, and Dorothy called a taxi for the Amerimed Hospital, where LaVerne was taken and is being treated by a team of doctors.
"He had a major heart attack," Dorothy said in a phone conversation from Cancun.
The nearest cardiologist was six hours away, and without the immediate access to heart catheterization, LaVerne's condition deteriorated.
Dorothy said her husband has had no known heart problems and undergoes a yearly physical.
"The only time he has had ever had surgery was when he had his wisdom teeth out," she said.
Family members are only able to visit LaVerne twice a day in ICU, at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., and Dorothy said she is grateful that the couple's four children are able to be with her. All four arrived in Cancun on Thursday -- traveling from Hutchinson, Denver, Ness City and Hays -- to be with their parents.
"They have helped so much," Dorothy said, adding the language barrier "has made the situation even more difficult."
Dorothy said the family is consulting with some friends in the medical field in the U.S., noting LaVerne is in a medically induced coma.
An echo cardiogram on LaVerne on Friday revealed several blockage areas, Dorothy said, and pending a letter of guarantee from their insurance company, was hoping LaVerne could undergo a heart catheterization Saturday to release some of the blockage.
She said if LaVerne can be stabilized by this week, plans are to transfer him to a Houston hospital, where Dorothy expects him to undergo either open heart surgery or a heart transplant.
Dorothy said the entire ordeal has made her and her family more aware of standards of medical services back home that often are taken for granted.
"Our kids were talking about how this will make people think twice before they leave the country," Dorothy said.
"I am never leaving the country again," she adamantly added. "Never."
For now, the Stiebens are taking a day -- an hour -- at a time, in their attempt to return their husband and father back to the United States.
"We want to let all the people back home know how much we appreciate all the prayers and support," Dorothy said, "and that he's going to need a lot more prayers."

Scientific American Staff Picks: 10 Apps for Your Smart Phone or Tablet. Just a Boy - a ftm transgender documentary. Why Obama Can't Close Guantanamo. The last two prisoners to leave the U.S. detention center at Guantánamo Bay were dead.
On February 1, Awal Gul, a 48-year-old Afghan, collapsed in the shower and died of an apparent heart attack after working out on an exercise machine. Then, at dawn one morning in May, Haji Nassim, a 37-year-old man also from Afghanistan, was found hanging from bed linen in a prison camp recreation yard. In both cases, the Pentagon conducted swift autopsies and the U.S. military sent the bodies back to Afghanistan for traditional Muslim burials. These voyages were something the Pentagon had not planned for either man: each was an "indefinite detainee," categorized by the Obama administration's 2009 Guantánamo Review Task Force as someone against whom the United States had no evidence to convict of a war crime but had concluded was too dangerous to let go.
Today, this category of detainees makes up 46 of the last 171 captives held at Guantánamo. Niall Ferguson TED Talk: Author Discusses 'The Six Killer Apps' Historian Niall Ferguson discussed "the six killer apps" of prosperity in his recent TED talk.
These "apps" refer to certain ideas--competition, scientific revolution, property rights, modern medicine, the consumer society and work ethic-- that define and set apart Western culture. Ferguson explains that although in the past these characteristics have given the West an advanced role in society, things may be changing. "The average American used to be 20 times richer than the average Chinese," he explained. "Now it's just 5 times and soon it will be 2.5...the Great Divergence is over, folks.

Shrinking school budgets and a high drop-out rate have only increased the decline in American competitiveness. One often advocated solution is to create more "smart classrooms" that use instructional software, smart boards and other interactive technologies to make learning more effective for all types and levels of students.
But in some areas, this means much more than updating the hardware technology in use. In rural locations, many teachers and students don't have the high-speed internet access necessary to access the wealth of educational information available on the internet.
Recent progress in this area includes:
An American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) allocation of $650 million for educational technology to build Smart Classrooms – which are equipped with technology to enhance learning including computers and the ability to transfer classroom documents to blackboard websites.
Increasing use of public-private partnerships to rectify the situation. One example is Microsoft's Partners in Learning initiative, which has already spread to more than 3.3 million students and teachers in six U.S. states.
ARRA also reserved $7.2 billion to complete broadband coverage across the U.S.—and stipulates that all of these funds must be allocated by September 2010.
Investment Opportunities
Many industries in the Information Technology sector stand to benefit. But particularly well positioned are the computer and peripheral equipment manufacturers—who will provide the hardware for Smart Classrooms—and communications equipment makers, who are essential to creating the infrastructure needed by the networks.
Of course, Telecommunication Services providers will be critical to making complete broadband coverage a reality. And given the short-term availability of the funds, money may begin to flow to participating companies much sooner than other ARRA-funded opportunities.

Rare Turkmens to carpet Powerhouse
PUBLISHED: 16 Aug 2012 00:01:09 | UPDATED: 16 Aug 2012 10:38:39PUBLISHED: 16 Aug 2012 PRINT EDITION: 16 Aug 2012Yomut tribes in Turkmenistan are losing their culture, including traditional carpet weaving but this example is one of 127 donated to Sydney's Powerhouse Museum.
Peter Fish
Sydney's Powerhouse Museum has received a new collection of 127 carpets and weavings of the Yomut Turkmen people of Central Asia.
One of the most significant private gifts in the decorative arts field, the collection was formed by Robert Upfold, who is retiring after 30-plus years as a senior lawyer and tax adviser with Macquarie Group.
Powerhouse director Dawn Casey says discussions are afoot for an exhibition with the collection as its centrepiece that could tour nationally and to south-east Asia.
Valued at up to $750,000, the collection includes early weavings of the Yomut, a fierce nomadic tribal group whose tent settlements once dotted the arid plains south-east of the Caspian Sea in what is now Turkmenistan.
Every year in spring, the tribes would migrate with their sheep, horses and tents to seek pastures in the mountains.
The Yomut were largely absorbed or dispersed due to raids by rival tribes and depredations by the conquering Russian armies in the late 19th century. Most gradually adopted a sedentary lifestyle in the villages and towns in Uzbekistan, Iran and Afghanistan. Like tribal practices, their weaving traditions have largely been lost.
Turkmen carpets are recognised for their repeated octagonal designs, sometimes called elephant's feet. The carpets are often known as Bokhara because many were sold in that ancient city.
Yomut weavers, however, used a particularly lively array of motifs and patterns, especially on the finely decorated bags of various sizes which they used to transport essential items ranging from bedding to salt and spindles.
Invariably women, the weavers carried such traditional designs in their heads, often adding a personal symbol or talisman.
The Upfold collection is rich in items woven for use in the families' own tents or to adorn their livestock. As well as making full use of the traditional vegetable dyes of indigo and madder – which provided a wide array of blues, reds and browns – the Yomut made much use of white and sometimes green and yellow, difficult hues to produce.
The collection reflects some 25 years of acquisitions by Upfold, who confesses that he "can't help himself" when he sees a desirable piece. His first acquisition was a Yomut mafrash – a storage bag less than a metre wide with a woven back and a knotted pile front which features a vibrant red.
Among a number of khali or tent main carpets is a 2.5 metre example featuring a particularly rare motif which also has exceptionally fine knotting and rich, saturated colours. It attracted international interest when Sotheby's Sydney had it for sale more than five years ago from a New Zealand source. It passed to Upfold via Sydney dealer Ross Langlands, whose Pyrmont firm Nomadic Rug Traders is a pre-eminent specialist in antique and tribal wares.
Langlands is also donating a traditional nomad yurt, known as an oy, to the Powerhouse.
But for Upfold all good things come to an end. Previously, he lived in a period house that suited the carpets. He's moved to a modern house and "you couldn't put them anywhere". Plus, he says, his wife "never really liked them".
He'll be sorry to see them go, but he wanted the collection to stay together, and in its new home he feels it could help generate wider awareness of the textile arts and infuse others with his passion. He will receive a tax break for the donation through the cultural gifts program.
"This way I can go and look at the collection any time," he says.

Gold Nuggets rally to win, tie school record February 19, 2009 Box score HATTIESBURG, Miss. — Jasmine Grant's basket with 41 seconds remaining Thursday lifted Xavier University of Louisiana to a 62-60 Gulf Coast Athletic Conference women's basketball victory over William Carey. The Gold Nuggets (20-7 overall, 11-4 GCAC) reached 20 victories for a school-record-tying eighth consecutive season and the 16th time in 17 seasons. Xavier clinched a quarterfinal home game March 4 in the GCAC Tournament. Grant finished with 12 points and scored in double figures for the first time since Dec. 20. She passed to Brittany Powell for a basket which tied the score at 60 with 1:10 remaining, then hit the game-winner after a Shayla Boyd steal. The Nuggets preserved the victory on LaTashia Wise's steal in the final five seconds. SiMon Franklin scored 13 points and Powell 11 for Xavier, which trailed 48-40 with 9:40 remaining. Kim Lewis led William Carey (14-10, 9-6) with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Shonte Kennedy had 14 points and eight rebounds, and Corissa Tillman scored 11. The Lady Saders missed 11 free throws, and the Nuggets limited Fallon Hartfield to three points and five rebounds in 35 minutes. Hartfield entered the game averaging 10.4 rebounds, which ranked fourth in NAIA Division I, and 16.9 points. Xavier outshot William Carey 42 to 39 percent from the floor, but the Lady Saders had a 41-35 rebound advantage. Both teams committed 21 turnovers, and the game had seven ties and 12 lead changes. Grant entered the game shooting 31 percent from the floor and 27 percent from 3-point range but made 5-of-7 from the floor, including 2-of-3 from behind the arc, against the Lady Saders. The victory produced a milestone for Xavier's Bo Browder, who became the fourth coach in Louisiana women's college basketball history to reach 20 wins in eight consecutive seasons and the fifth state coach to win 20 games nine times. This is Browder's 10th season as the Nuggets' coach. Xavier remained in third place in the conference, two games behind GCAC leader Loyola and one game behind LSU-Shreveport. Both the Wolfpack and the Lady Pilots won Thursday. Xavier and William Carey will play GCAC road games at 5 p.m. Saturday. The Nuggets will travel to Mobile, and the Lady Saders will visit SUNO.
The Xavier Gold Rush and Gold Nuggets compete in Division I of the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) as a member of the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference (GCAC). Xavier fields men's and women's teams in basketball, cross country and tennis.

Now mind you, this is gonna be a feat to conceal. Smith & Wesson 610 (N-frame), 6.5" barrel.
Before anyone gets worked up, I didn't buy this gun specifically for concealed carry, I'm just looking for holster options that don't scream "cowboy." About the only belt holster I've found for any 6.5" N-frame is the Galco Phoenix, but it only comes in tan (I prefer black). There are a few shoulder rigs available, but I've found that shoulder rigs are cumbersome and take too long to put on and get adjusted properly on a daily basis. Though I doubt I'll be carrying this thing daily anyway. :)
Anyway, I'm just looking for a holster that will work well at the range, but also be comfortable enough to wear for hours at a time, when I don't have to conceal (BBQ gun, anyone?). I'm not adversed to having a holster custom made, but would really rather keep the price under $100. If it comes down to it, I'll bite the bullet and have one made specifically (which I may have to do anyway, since this particular gun has a full barrel length underlug, and the cylinder is a slightly different size compared to a 29/629, which is what most long barreled N-frame holsters are designed to hold).
Thanks for any info. :)

Belle Glade Homicides Nearly Tripled Last Year
Flickr user: kevitivity |
Murders are up, larceny is down. |
Yet he was hardly alone. Before McMillan's tragedy, 11 murders rocked Belle Glade in 2011. According to crime statistics presented to the Palm Beach County Commission this week, that's nearly three times the homicide total from the year before. In 2010, just four people were killed; three died in 2009. For a small, impoverished sugar-farming town of 17,700 people, going from four to 11 murders is a staggering blow.
By comparison, the City of West Palm Beach, whose population is about six times bigger than Belle Glade's, had 19 murders in 2010. The 2011 crime stats for West Palm Beach have not yet been released by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
In Belle Glade, forcible sexual offenses are on the upswing too, increasing from 22 to 25 between 2010 and 2011. So why does the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office get to brag that the city's overall crime has fallen a whopping 25 percent since 2010? Well, there's a lot less larceny, burglary, and aggravated assault.
Hmmm. Murders went up and larceny went down. That should make people feel safe, don't you think?
Sherrie Dulany, an elementary-school teacher and former city commissioner who has lived in Belle Glade for most of her life, is trying to combat the statistics. After McMillan's death, she started a Facebook page called Take Back Belle Glade/The Glades Communities. More than 620 people have joined it. Dulany posts information about meetings and antiviolence rallies and uses the page to recruit members for a citizens police academy, designed to help educate residents about what the cops really do.
Dulany says sheriff's officials have explained that there are far more shootings in West Palm than in Belle Glade.
"It doesn't make you feel any safer, but it does make you realize it's not an isolated problem," she says.

In-home Elder Care reviews in Pawtucket
There is an annual fee, to a long-term insurance policy but the agency provides services on an as-needed basis. It has been in existence since 1975 in Pennsylvania and Delaware and has an excellent reputation. Included is a personal care manager who meets with us annually, who suggests services to meet our individual goals, and arrange for care on an as-needed basis, all of which is provided within the limits that our plan we've selected. We have not needed services as of this date but have met with the care manager."
Perfectly super. Beyond the usual attributes--punctuality and reliability--our provider was tremendously attentive and energetic with our Mother. In fact, she had the imagination and energy to take her to museums and out for ice cream . No need for lengthy review--these people were absolutely wonderful
provided not just individuals who could provide transportation and labor but really took the time too get to know and provide companionship as well. They went above and beyond the call of duty. As my sister had needs for more home care, were able to provide 24 hour care on short notice. suffered from depression and these individuals understood and took her moods as they came. Goldcutt, the owner, visited almost daily while my sister was receiving 24 hour care. When my sister was being released home under Hospice care, and her son arrived to help move furniture and get the home ready for my sister's arrival. The caretakers came in for the last days and provided gentle, loving care until she died. Having worked with several home care agencies in the past few years, this group was the best overall and worked hard to match caretakers and my sister. I hope they are around when I need help."
We had referral from somebody in that kind of work. They are very accommodating and they are very dependable. If I needed somebody tomorrow they will make it happen. I have an elderly father that cannot be left alone and things happen. For Christmas and stuff like that my regular person who stays there had to go out of town and one phone call and they covered it for two days."
They were very good. They are well experienced people who came to my home. The internal communication was very good.They double check each other to see that I am developing correctly. They definitely deserve the praise."
We have used them about a month now and things are good. We have a morning caregiver from 8-12 and an evening caregiver from 4-7 that is pretty much 7 days a week. The strange hours didn't phase and , they found us three great people that come in and help with moms exercises, ensuring she takes her meds, general daily activities that mom wants to try and pushing her to get stronger and stay mobile. They clean the house, cook (that was very important to my parents), laundry and if mom has a "spell" they are there to help out and make sure she doesn't hurt.
They have given us all peace of mind and are so caring, friendly and understanding to our needs, its great to have them as part of our family. And they truly have become part of our family.
The only issue I've had is paying in advanced but I can totally understand that concept for a business like this and its just something WE need to adapt to and get into a routine. We LOVE these ladies and can't say enough about how awesome they are. They are truly a blessing for us and I would highly recommend Associates to everyone!!
I loved them, and thorught they were wonderful. I had hurt myself and couldn't do anything, and they were so fabulous and so professional. they don't require a contract, it's just as needed and they really cared. The owner came out and spent two hours interviewing me and getting my medical history. He paired me up with a really great girl, it was a wonderful experience. I was just lost, and they were a huge asset to me. They even walked my two little dogs."

Decision on Brooks, Tyrone schools 'tough'? Mostly, it was 'stupid'
I once worked under the same roof as Lewis Grizzard, a fellow some of you will remember. I was not a close friend, but I knew him well enough to figure he would have enjoyed doing a column or two about the goofy Fayette County news I saw in The Citizen last week.
First was the lengthy guest editorial by Fayette County Commission Chairman Steve Brown praising the Fayette County Board of Education in making the "tough decisions" to close four schools, including Tyrone where my granddaughter is a student.
Commissioner Brown, that was a very stupid decision, at least in shutting down the Tyrone and Brooks schools.
Before the board voted, I sent a letter to BOE Chairperson Marion Key citing the damage the closing of those schools would cause, not only for the children but the other social and economic fabric of the communities involved.
I'm new to Fayette, so I didn't pay a penny of tax for the Tyrone school or the town's excellent library, fire station and the tennis courts and lake in the nice park we use almost daily.
But I was certainly willing to cough up some additional property tax to help fund these schools, especially after paying taxes in Atlanta for 30 years. If I could kick in an extra $100 as my share, it would be fine with me.
I've paid Fayette County $75 over the past 12 months just for a "wildlife" tag, and last week they didn't even have a new one for the car. Yep, times are tough just about everywhere, including the Fayette tag office.
And as I said to Ms. Key, I don't need to know what the Tea Party people think about schools and taxes. I was a political appointee under the Ronald Reagan administration 27 years ago. And would President Reagan be in favor of closing the Tyrone and Brooks schools? Of course not!
I will give BOE member Mary Kay Bacallao, bless her heart, credit for voting not to close any of the schools. I saw her in a debate before she was elected and she said then she was not in favor of closing schools.
She kept her word, and the fact she is the most qualified of the BOE members tells me all I want to know. For the record, she has a Ph.D. degree in education and about 20 years of professional experience in the field.
I knew when I sent my letter, the BOE was hell-bent on closing those schools. The past school superintendent had voiced his support for keeping the schools open, and after he was pushed out the door, he was so bad the school system in Rome hired him in only a few weeks.
And there was The Citizen story about the "Pinewood project" that Matt Forshee is all excited about over at the Fayette County Development Authority. After some voting, the 288-acre "Pinewood Studios" proposal has been sent over to Commissioner Brown and the other commissioners for some type of final decision.
Mr. Forshee is talking about 2,000 full-time jobs, several more thousand jobs in related areas with an initial construction of five film/TV sound stages, more stuff to follow.
I'm going to read between the lines here, and I hate to rain on Forshee's parade.
For starters, nothing was mentioned about where the money is coming from on this deal. If it's coming from Pinewood Studios (based in England) would Forshee be putting their name out for every other industrial developer in the USA to see, and go for the same project? Just for the heck of it, I went on the Pinewood Studios website and searched around under "news" for any mention of plans to local something in Fayette County.
I saw nothing on Fayette, but I did see where the studio has started construction on a new $7.5 million state of the art production facility, but that is at its Buckinghamshire site.
Just a few facts of life for the Development Board: California, and its "Moonbeam" governor, whether we like it or not, has the redwoods; it has Silicon Valley, Google and all the rest; and it has the film/TV industry along with the red carpet they just rolled out a few days ago for those Oscars.
If Atlanta's super successful Tyler Perry was part of this project, or Atlanta native Ryan Seacrest was connected, I would give it more than a second look. And if Mr. Forshee has some private investors dumb enough to put up the money for the buildings, more power to him. Maybe he can get them to buy Holyfield's vacant mansion in another Fayette County pasture. At least they might turn it into a bed and breakfast.
In the meantime, don't get a U-Haul, Mr. Forshee, to pull that "Hollywood" sign down in LA to be trucked over to a smaller hill in Fayette County. And don't try to get any financial backing (bond issue kind of scheme) from the county commission, because they don't have enough money to keep the sweet Tyrone school open for another year.
Please remember, Mr. Forshee, Peachtree City and the nearby Atlanta Airport are the main cards this county still holds. You have managed to put the Pinewood Studios brand on this pending deal. So please tell them to at least post it on their website, if the money is in fact coming out of their back pockets. And, oh, thanks for that 10-foot wide path for "public use" the "Pinewood" plan calls for. You have to keep the golf cart people happy.
My last statements deal with the commission's U-turn, or call it back-sliding, on the West Fayetteville Bypass. Commissioner Brown, who was on record against the second phase, says he and the other reasonably honorable commissioners have no choice but to go ahead with the next phase (and how much taxpayer money?) because there might be lawsuits if they don't.
Let me ask, did the commission get a lawyer from Sears on this road, not leaving the county no, zero, nada escape clauses in the paperwork?
If you are a county commission chairman these days, and you want to avoid lawsuits, you might want to look for another line of work. Or maybe the commission has been watching too many of those Ken Nugent "One Call That's All" commercials out of Atlanta TV.
After living in this state for three decades, I know it's easier to kill one of those "Walking Dead" zombies over in Senoia than stopping a road in Georgia after it is been put on the books.
Georgia politicians, especially those under the Gold Dome, start acting funny when they smell a little asphalt. The stuff gets up in their nostrils and before long they get a strange glaze over their eyes.
We will have to wait until the next commission meeting to see if this is the case with our elected group.
James Hightower
Tyrone, Ga.
Husband and father, you said " but I have yet to see a spreadsheet with the reductions needed to allow those schools to stay open". Well the citizens have yet to see any spreadsheet or figures on why they should close the schools, except for the ONE time savings of $800,000 per school figure they kept throwing out there. How much is it going to cost in building maintenance when the schools are closed? Are the closed schools paid for, or will we still be making payments? How much more will the Transportation Dept spend on gas now, etc. It is not as cut and dried as the BOE made it sound.
From the website: FIlm Georgia
"Wow!" people have been saying all day, "So is Pinewood Studios really coming to Georgia?"
Well yeah, kind of. Right now the project is a proposal for a development. More on that in a bit.
Mr. Hightower has hit the nail on the head in his editorial. And Husband and Father, there WERE hundreds of well thought out ideas presented to the Board over many months. I know, because I was there. Sam Sweat and the Board had their minds made up and nothing was going to change it. Todd and Key had made it clear that they wanted those schools to close and forced Bearden out so they could get their way. All of those meetings were dog and pony shows so that the public thought they actually had input. I truly believe that Presberg listened and tried to do the right thing but he made the wrong decision. The only good thing to come out of this is that if we can't get them out sooner by recall, Todd and Key will not get re elected again. Now I gotta go check out info on that new Coweta County Charter school...
There were hundreds of ideas presented. Not sure about some being well thought out, but I give them kudos for the attempt. Look at the present projections. The board could easily have mothballed two additional elementry schools and one middle school. Were lucky they didnt go after those too. Many good people tried to make it work, but I have yet to see a spreadsheet with the reductions needed to allow those schools to stay open. I would love to see a plan that worked, but there is non.
Beardens heart may have been in the right place, but logic dictated these closings and possibly more. He may have been a good educational leader, but he appeared to have challenges on the financial side.
The difficult part is coming soon. Personnel. And I might add, good people. Unfortuneatly, our previous board failed to make the necessary cuts slowly over the last 4-5 years and now after using up our contingencies, we have to cut a lot a once. Not an easy pill to swallow.
I understand you posting differing views and opinions but this is nothing but senseless rambling...
You make a lot of fine points.
I too would be ok with a slightly higher tax if we could have saved the schools in Tyrone and Brooks, but I believe that we are already maxed out in the allowable school tax. Please correct me if I am incorrect in this understanding. I along with many people smarter than me have studied the budget and keeping these schools open could not be accomplished. If someone had a plan that allowed the schools to stay open, they certainly were not able to convince anyone. That's exactly why I was annoyed with Ms. Bacallao's vote. Her plan did not work, and to vote for a fairy tale instead of reason proved to me that she is playing politics instead of voting with her head.
You are correct that the county probably should have kept quiet concerning Pinewood until all of the paperwork is signed . I believe the commissioners leaked the information to make themselves look good and to provide a reason to vote against stopping the construction of Phase 2 of the bypass. I don't believe one minute they couldn't get out of the contract if they truly wanted to. I think Mr. Ognio and Barlow need to explain their position to continue with the road, especially after they have publicly condemned the road for years and when we still do not have any solid commitment from Pinewood .
It is always easy to be a back seat driver. Little late with the tag idea.
Husband and Father said it best. "Please correct me if I am incorrect in this understanding. I along with many people smarter than me have studied the budget and keeping these schools open could not be accomplished. If someone had a plan that allowed the schools to stay open, they certainly were not able to convince anyone. That's exactly why I was annoyed with Ms. Bacallao's vote. Her plan did not work, and to vote for a fairy tale instead of reason proved to me that she is playing politics instead of voting with her head"
We have some very good people who ran for the BOE job when it was open for any and all to do so. These people stepped forward. Others didn't.
They are doing what others either didn't have the time to do, or couldn't be bothered. Backseat driving is always easy.

Jack Dorsey talks Twitter's origins with Biz Stone
As Twitter announces plans to go public, an IM conversation from 2006 between Twitter co-founders offers a glimpse at how the social network got started.
As Twitter made the big announcement on Thursday that it is filing for an IPO , it's hard to believe that just eight years ago the massive social network didn't even exist.
Jack Dorsey, one of Twitter's founders, is known for posting relics from the social network's early beginnings on his Tumblr blog. A couple of years ago, he posted a 2006 IM conversation between himself and another Twitter founder, Biz Stone. The conversation reads somewhat like a founding document of the company.
Enjoy the trip down memory lane:

Countee Cullen
Poet, anthologist, novelist, translator, children's writer, and playwright, Countee Cullen is something of a mysterious figure. He was born 30 March 1903, but it has been difficult for scholars to place exactly where he was born, with whom he spent the very earliest years of his childhood, and where he spent them. New York City and Baltimore have been given as birthplaces. Cullen himself, on his college transcript at New York University, lists Louisville, Kentucky, as his place of birth. A few years later, when he had achieved considerable literary fame during the era known as the New Negro or Harlem Renaissance, he was to assert that his birthplace was New York City, which he continued to claim for the rest of his life. Cullen's second wife, Ida, and some of his closest friends, including Langston Hughes and Harold Jackman, said that Cullen was born in Louisville. As James Weldon Johnson wrote of Cullen in The Book of American Negro Poetry (rev. ed., 1931): "There is not much to say about these earlier years of Cullen--unless he himself should say it." And Cullen--revealing a temperament that was not exactly secretive but private, less a matter of modesty than a tendency toward being encoded and tactful--never in his life saidcullenc.jpg (6902 bytes) anything more clarifying.

Idealistic and faithful to a fault, Beightol once made a house call in a notoriously dangerous housing project in the midst of a small riot. A group of teens jumped him, beating him from behind until several women came to his defense. "I thought God would protect me," Beightol recalled.
In a windowless classroom on the second floor of Miami Edison, second-year algebra teacher Hector Lopez was walking from desk to desk during a recent class, critiquing work and giving awkward high-fives. "My God, these kids are ready to work," he practically shouted. Speaking in hushed snippets of Kreyol, the 25 sophomores, juniors, and seniors consulted or, in some cases, copied each other's equations from FCAT workbooks.
Lopez, a 54-year-old former software designer with a persistent cowlick and a frenetic classroom manner, left a six-figure job with IBM to teach in the inner city. After 23 years in the corporate world, he wanted to try teaching, do something more meaningful. "This is the front lines," he said.
He tries to keep things interesting with Internet-based lessons, but he has to share the department's one LCD projector with eleven other teachers. Inspiring his kids is an uphill battle. Just helping them understand the written directions is a challenge.
Miami-Dade, the fourth-largest district in the nation, educates more than a third of a million students from 168 different countries at more than 300 schools. One in three students lives in a home where English is a secondary language, if it's spoken at all. Nearly two-thirds of students qualify for reduced-price or free lunch. More than 30,000 have disabilities ranging from hearing impairment to profound retardation. About 40 percent don't make it to graduation day with their classmates.
Many teachers don't make it, either. One of Lopez's colleagues at Edison, a veteran math teacher, recently left midyear to take a job with Boeing at almost twice the pay. Lopez doesn't blame his colleague. "To be honest with you, I don't know what I'm going to do in two years. Money is the bottom line."
Shelves lined with multiple answer booklets instead of novels are testament to Edison's obsession with ending five years of failing FCAT scores. There are constant classroom visits by administrators and bi-weekly FCAT reviews handed down from the main office. "I'm spending my time giving bi-weeklies and FCAT bullshit," Lopez said of the previous school year. "A lot of times, the bi-weeklies had nothing to do with what I taught that week." Lopez was fortunate. His principal allowed him to give his own tests this year. "I'm lucky they listened."
At lunchtime in the teachers' lounge, some of Lopez's colleagues were less grateful. The pressure is intense, said English teacher Judy Brown, a 34-year veteran of Miami-Dade schools. Teachers leave, or are forced to leave, constantly. "It's a revolving door, baby. It's all about the scores. If your scores aren't good, you got to go."
Myriam Ariza, a nationally certified art teacher from Chicago, said she was ready to get out after a year. "In the big picture, I'm just concerned about real teaching and real learning. Basically real teaching has been limited to babysitting."
"Are we committing the resources to win this war, or are we fucking around?"
Beightol was sitting outside Zeke's on Lincoln Road after school one day this past November, sipping a three-dollar Miller Lite and talking a mile a minute about the contract, occasionally rummaging around in his tote bag for documents to prove this or that point. "Milk has gone up, eggs have gone up, insurance has gone up," he said. "Our people are living on credit cards."
When he first got into teaching fourteen years ago, Beightol recalled, Miami's teachers were the highest paid in the state. Their union, led by the steel-fisted Pat Tornillo, was unstoppable. But he proved more a capo di tutti capi than an idealist. After leading the UTD for almost 40 years, he was convicted in 2003 of stealing or misappropriating three million dollars from the union and took up residency in a federal prison. The American Federation of Teachers, the national teachers' union, swept in and took over for two years, rewriting the constitution and bylaws. Karen Aronowitz, a decidedly unflashy, soft-spoken former high school English teacher, took the reins in 2005. (Aronowitz could not be reached for comment.)
Beightol, a longtime outspoken union steward at Krop, was less than happy with the UTD's post-Tornillo evolution and hammered away at what he considered a lack of "fight." He presented himself as the "militant" alternative, believing the righteousness of his cause would carry the day. Factions formed among Miami's 21,000 teachers, and lines were drawn.
Beightol's dispatches to supporters were combative, frequently castigating district administrators and criticizing UTD leadership for rolling over. He would "be a bulldog" for teachers. His lack of diplomacy bordered on naiveté. Given its weakened state, the UTD was not in a position to twist the arms of a powerful superintendent and school board.
The unfolding drama came to a head in mid-October, when administrators censured Beightol for his broadcast e-mails, which he sent via his district account. That morning Beightol was scheduled to meet with Krop's principal to decide his fate. Then the hallway outside Beightol's classroom began to fill with his students and fellow teachers. "My doorway packed with bodies of teachers holding signs that spoke of the right to free speech, assembly, and to redress grievances," Beightol wrote in an e-mail that afternoon. The meeting was postponed.

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Cheverus overwhelms Marshwood/Traip
Sunday, December 16, 2012
DOVER — With just one upperclassman on the roster, Marshwood-Traip High School boys hockey coach Eric Royal knew his team could be in for a tough, early climb this season.
After an 8-3 loss to Bonny Eagle, Marshwood-Traip dropped a 12-0 decision to Falmouth before Saturday's loss.
Then, 3:26 into the second period, the young Hawk defense was caught again — this time with James Hannigan finishing off Fitzpatrick pass to give Cheverus a 3-0 edge.
"(McLain) has really come on as a senior this year," said Lucas. "He's provided a really good tandem with Fitzpatrick." |

A documentary exploring the constant push & pull between development and preservation.
About this project
Dear Internet,
My name is David Anderson, and the man you hopefully just watched in the video above is my father, Ken Anderson. My dad spent his early career as a city and regional planner around the world, but for almost three decades, he has had one primary mission in life: to protect and preserve Pah Tempe Mineral Hot Springs. Ken and Cordula, his wife of 17 years, along with many other dedicated friends and colleagues, have worked tirelessly to share its soothing, healing mineral water and serene location with the world.
We think far more people need to know about this place and its history, so we're reaching out to ask the Kickstarter community to help us make a documentary about its and their story. Watch the trailer below:
Browse the FAQ questions below! For more, links to more pictures, videos, tons of other information about Pah Tempe, our mailing list, and more can be found at our website, PahTempe.org. This campaign is just the beginning for us, so make sure to check the website to find out all the other ways we're telling our story, and for more ways to help!
In this time of increasingly loose connections shared over technology and social media, natural destinations like Pah Tempe help to remind us of the importance of *real* connection, with other human beings, and with the natural world that sustains us.
This place, this sacred and pristine mineral spring tucked into the same desert river canyon that runs through Zion National Park, this refuge which so many people have valued, enjoyed and loved over many centuries, needs to be properly championed as the priceless wonder it is, and made available to as many people as possible, while preserving its peaceful atmosphere. Documenting its history and importance is a necessary first step.
Pah Tempe has never had any major media produced to tell its story, despite its rich and varied history. Now that Kickstarter exists, it's time. You saw the trailer preview. Need we say more?
Pah Tempe's mineral water, which everyone else recognizes as sacred and healing, is referred to by the local county water district as, incredibly, a *pollutant* which they feel needs to be captured and 'disposed of' somewhere out in the desert. For them, this requires condemning and closing the property on which these precious hot springs sit. This outcome has been their consistent goal for many years, despite a worldwide (and local) fan base, and clear scientific consensus on the amazing biological uniqueness and diversity of fish in that exact section of the river, now made endangered by the diversion of water in the name of development.
And while we're not here on Kickstarter to take a stance on optimal desert population density and resource allocation, Pah Tempe's story as told through "Healing Waters" is a prime example of the ongoing battle between the interests of development and preservation.
Pah Tempe has a rich & Google-able history across native American, pioneer, and modern eras, and each deserves to have its part of the story told. For a full history of Pah Tempe from the very beginning, check out http://pahtempe.org/History.
But the most timely portion of the story is that of the last few decades, and the fight to preserve it for future generations from reckless industrial interests. This important part of the story has been told by multiple external parties. The most succinct external summaries come from the local chapter of the Sierra Club (http://www.scribd.com/doc/100723551/v2n1#page=4) and the University of Utah's Energy and Geoscience Institute (http://www.scribd.com/doc/101381558/CLEANED-UP-AND-CLEANED-OUT-RUINED-HOT-SPRING-RESORTS-OF-UTAH#page=4).
Our current plan is to present the documentary in 3 parts:
Act I: Pah Tempe, The Place -- context for the hot spring itself, its geological history, indigenous history, pioneer history, modern disrepair.
Act II: Pah Tempe, The Struggle -- Ken intervenes against the dual pressures of neglect and agricultural infrastructure development, and tries for (almost 3) decades to find a balance.
Act III: Pah Tempe, The Future -- how will the struggle turn out? Two possible paths: towards harmony & increased access, or cemented over & ruined.
We're making a full-length documentary. For peanuts:
$5000: Production company (when we brought filmmaker Loren Feldman of 1938 Media out to the hot springs, he fell in love, and immediately offered to help at far below his normal rate!) $1000: Licensing fees
$1000: Talent and location compensation
$2500: Production expenses; travel, etc.
$3000ish: Fulfilling Kickstarter Rewards
$1000ish: Kickstarter/Amazon fees If we're wildly successful and blow past our minimum goal, we'll spend more money fulfilling Rewards (obviously!) but we'll use the vast majority of the extra to improve the production value of the final film. Help us have that problem!
We completely understand, and we're honored that you read this far anyway! Pah Tempe would absolutely still LOVE your help: please use your preferred sharing method (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Linkedin, Pinterest? Get creative!), or Kickstarter's sharing tools above to send our story and campaign to anyone you know who loves nature, the outdoors, hot springs specifically, or anyone who you think might be passionate and capable of helping us achieve our goal.
By sharing our goal to tell the story of Pah Tempe and Ken, Co, and the Anderson family's quest to preserve the hot springs at Pah Tempe, you make it possible for others who might be touched by it to know it exists. Isn't the internet wonderful? Also, if you have any ideas for other Rewards you think we should offer to backers, or any feedback whatsoever, please let us know!

Pupils supporting Niall's Mile
Local kids back charity walk.
Hundreds of school children walked a mile route around their school to raise awareness of the benefits of light exercise and funds for the Foundation of Light.
Pupils at East Herrington Primary School last week took part in a special Niall's Mile accompanied by SAFC mascot Samson.
Up to 500 pupils walked a mile route around their school to raise awareness of the benefits of light exercise and funds for the Foundation of Light.
Named after Black Cats legend and former chairman Niall Quinn, Niall's Mile has been organised by the Foundation of Light in partnership with Sunderland NHS Teaching Primary Care Trust.
The initiative is now in its fourth year and comprises of a series of walks across Sunderland.
Pupils were encouraged to wear Sunderland AFC colours and pledge £1 to the registered charity of SAFC, the Foundation of Light. In return youngsters received a special Niall's Mile bracelet.
Speaking about the walk, Jill McVeigh, Assistant Head of Lifelong Learning at the Foundation of Light commented "it was great to see the children and teachers of East Herrington Primary School in their colours and getting well into the spirit of Niall's Mile.
"The campaign is all about getting people participating in fun, physical activities that cumulatively can make a big difference to their overall health.
"The youngsters certainly seemed to have a lot of fun and there were plenty of smiles on display on this walk."

by Amanda Hanson
"I'm lost, lost" sings Everest frontman Russell Pollard on "Rebels in the Roses," the opening track of the band's tender debut album, Ghost Notes. It's a fitting declaration and the perfect tone-setter for the reflective and often cathartic songs that lie ahead. Pollard, like so many of his indie/alt-country singer-songwriting peers-Ryan Adams, Jeff Buckley, Jeff Tweedy-seems to be at war with himself and through music, draws upon his pain and missteps in hopes of generating some sort of sonic release.
Though certain songs touch upon universal themes and concerns such as the passing of time ("Stumble Waltz") and getting outside of one's own head and way ("Only In Your Mind"); the majority of the album speaks to matters of the heart and the conflict that arises when two souls collide. Fighting for love, fighting personal demons, fighting the one we love, fighting not to lose that love even after admittedly making enough mistakes to warrant the loss. Love, after all, is not for the faint of heart. With Ghost Notes, it's quite apparent that Pollard has gone to battle and not come out the victor.
As such, the album tends to lean more down tempo than up, but this is not to say that it's chalk full of weepy ballads. Backed by a group of musicians with enough indie cred to kill an elephant (Sebadoh, Earlimart, Great Northern, The Watson Twins), Everest's sound is more lush than barren, more hopeful than mournful thanks to the band's veteran pop sensibilities.
Recorded on analog tape with vintage equipment at Elliott Smith's New Monkey studio in the Everest's home town of Los Angeles, Producer-friend Mike Terry (The Eagles, Foo Fighters) was able to capture the band's earthy sound by tracking most of the songs with the entire band playing live together. To call this a rarity in the age of digital recording is an understatement to say the least. No wonder Ghost Notes sounds like an organic throwback to the sweet harmonies that were seeping out of Laurel Canyon and into mainstream consciousness in the late '60s and early '70s. It's little surprise that Neil Young's Vapor Records snapped them up with a record deal.
Everest mixes folk, rock, country and psychedelia with confessional lyrics much like Young did during his early days with Buffalo Springfield. Heavy on acoustic guitars with a splash of electric harmony alongside the occasional set of keys, including the oddball Wurlitzer and toy piano, the instrumentation is meticulously textured throughout. However, it's Pollard's heartfelt vocals and pleading lyrics that ultimately suck the listener in.
In "Trees" he calls out to the one who "made him come alive" before confessing "I need time to make this right!" With "Into Your Soft Heart" comes his plea for forgiveness. "Angry Storm" is a steel-washed, piano-based lullaby begging for an end to the storm. The head-nodder "I See It In Your Eyes" ultimately says the most by saying the least, "I see it in your eyes, you've got nothing more to say," repeat. While "Standing By" is a slow build through prog-rock darkness towards utter devastation: "I will miss this love, I won't try to deny it, I can't bleed it out, all I want to find is how to hide, deep in the ground...the power is down."
At the end of every dark tunnel comes the promise of light. Here, that light comes in the form of the introspective last track, "Taking on the Future," where Pollard follows in the path of spiritual guru Eckert Tolle's and his Power of Now teachings noting "this is all we have, today." Truer words have never been spoken, yet it's easy to imagine that today is only the beginning of Everest's steady climb up the slope to musical success.

CORVALLIS, Ore. — Two Corvallis women have reported their underwear stolen out of their homes within the past month.
Corvallis Police say the two homes are about a mile from each other: one on the 900 block of NW Hayes Avenue, the other on the 600 block of NW Walnut Boulevard.
Investigators say one woman noticed about six pairs of panties stolen out of her dryer on Jan.25. Police say her underwear had been stolen from her home a few months ago as well, but she had not initially reported it.
The other woman says when she came home on Feb. 20, her garage door was open. Police say she noticed three or four pairs of her underwear missing from a drawer in her bedroom.
Police say they do not have evidence that the two cases are related.

iHerb Customer Reviews
This is the only iron supplement, short of injections or IVs, that has brought my ferritin levels into the correct range and keeps them there. I swear by this product.
I purchased this item because I had tried the cheap iron products in the pharmacy and other expensive irons that were suggested to me. I would either get a horrible headache or diarrhea. I started slowly on this product and can take this product with none of the usual 'challenges' that come with taking an iron supplement. I am taking this product as I have low ferritin.

The goal of the PhD in Accounting program is to develop accounting academics capable of sustaining themselves in academic careers, based upon experience which typically includes having achieved professional certification. This means that graduate students have to become self-reliant researchers capable of generating original ideas, gathering data in support of those ideas, crafting publishable quality manuscripts and working effectively with the peer review process. In addition, doctoral studies should make the student an active consumer of the research done by others, enabling the person to review research submitted for publication and presentation and to assess the scholarly merits in the efforts of colleagues. During doctoral studies students will also develop into capable teachers prepared to deliver instruction for a college or university. Following an introduction usually consisting of teaching assistance rendered to a faculty person, doctoral students will teach at least one course during their program. Finally, doctoral students learn about the culture of higher education and the business school so that their ability and willingness as a resource provider to a host of constituents will be initiated.
The PhD in accountancy is structured, and a student's study plan is developed, to support high-quality research and effective teaching based upon knowledge and skill levels appropriate to a student's goals. Doctoral students work with faculty whose research investigates matters of importance to academics, practitioners and policy makers, in order to influence practice and standard setting in both the private and public sectors.
CWRU accountancy doctoral programs of study are designed to prepare students who have achieved practice experience and demonstrated maturity as both a consumer and a producer of research. In the former category students are trained to critically read a substantial variety of academic work so as to be a full-fledged participant in the life of an academic department, a business school and the worldwide academic accounting discipline. They are prepared to use their talents to expand what we collectively know. Being a producer is definitively more selective and more ambitious than being a consumer. As a research producer, the student will become an expert on using at least one major methodology within a sub-field of accounting. We engage students earlier in the research process and substitute a series of research papers as evidence of progress in lieu of traditional comprehensive examinations, thus differentiating the CWRU program significantly.

Teen Vogue editor in chief Amy Astley has promised to herself that she will "skip Us Weekly and The New York Post and read more books" (she even provided a reading list) and to "break my kids of their Disney Channel habit." Meanwhile, Teen Vogue's publisher Gina Sanders also has lofty literary aspirations: She hopes to reread "The Iliad" — but also to make a piecrust from scratch and learn to surf, presumably not at the same time.
And the dual job pressures of lavish entertaining and a fairly public life have magazine executives, like many others this time of year, griping about their waistlines. For the co-owner of a restaurant (the Waverly Inn) not known for its light fare, Vanity Fair editor in chief Graydon Carter is ambitious, resolving "less food, more exercise." The magazine's publisher, Edward Menicheschi, won't be giving up on the truffled mac and cheese, though: He merely hopes to "cut back to four nights a week at the Waverly." Food & Wine editor in chief Dana Cowin is vowing "to kick my pork butt addiction and move on to healthier foods like eco-friendly farmed striped bass." Cosmogirl editor in chief Susan Schulz plans to take up Pilates and cook dinner for her husband twice a month ("Hey, gotta start somewhere!" she said). Men's Journal editor in chief Brad Wieners said he's "vowed to do the workout we just published (40 is the new 30!)." Then there are those irritating people who are already fitness junkies, like Men's Health publisher Jack Essig, who completed six triathlons this year. So what's next? He hopes to attempt his first Half Ironman in 2008.
Some, however, have already given up. Said O at Home editor in chief Sarah Gray Miller, "I've collected enough unused gym memberships to realize that I never keep resolutions." And Bon Appétit editor in chief Barbara Fairchild was also philosophical: "With my job, that same 15 pounds I always resolve to lose is with me for life."
