Watchdog workshops
A crucial duty of a journalist is to serve the public interest by acting as a watchdog on government and business. This duty has become all the more important at a time when governments are restricting the flow of information. At such times, broadcast and print journalists must redouble their efforts to use freedom-of-information laws to obtain public documents and help the public appreciate the value of such laws.
About the workshops
The Watchdog Workshop series brings affordable training to cities around the U.S. Use the schedule below to find a session near you, or contact IRE if you're interested in bringing one to your area. IRE's staff teams up with veteran journalists to lead the training.
Journalists who attend IRE Watchdog Workshops get their investigative batteries recharged. Reporters, editors and producers return to their newsrooms with:
- Hard-hitting story ideas.
- Databases and documents to explore on their beat.
- Useful websites and strategies for using Internet tools such as wikis, blogs, robots and RSS feeds.
- Techniques for more effective sourcing and interviewing.
- Advice on how to bulletproof stories for accuracy.
- Tips on dealing with freedom of information laws and public records in their state.
- Topic-specific training that changes depending on the news of the day and the needs of local news organizations.
Top-notch investigative journalists from around the country team with IRE trainers to provide a workshop filled with inspiration as well as tangible tips and resources. Previous speakers have included reporters and editors from The New York Times, WTTG-Washington, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times and dozens of other news organizations.
Most workshops also feature hands-on spreadsheet training.
Jamie DeLoma, a news editor for WNBC.com in New York, described a Watchdog Workshop in Connecticut as well worth his time: "I was shocked at how quickly the day went by. It was really packed full of a very diverse and eclectic group of topics, ideas and insights."

Busch Stadium, St. Louis, Missouri
ST. LOUIS -- Rookie pitcher Shelby Miller and backup catcher Tony Cruz need to work together more often for the St. Louis Cardinals.
Miller pitched seven shutout innings and Tony Cruz hit two doubles and drove in a pair of runs, leading the Cardinals to an 8-0 victory Saturday over the San Francisco Giants.It was the first game of a split doubleheader after being postponed from Friday. The Giants and Cardinals played a doubleheader in St. Louis for the first time since July 16, 1978.Miller (6-3) has thrown 12 2/3 scoreless innings in two starts with Cruz catching."Cruz did a great job of calling pitches behind the plate," Miller said. "We felt good together. We were clicking today. Tony is good. The thing is, Tony could probably play anywhere and start if he wasn't here. He's an unbelievable catcher."Miller scattered six hits, stranding seven runners. His ERA dropped to 1.82 as he struck out seven with one walk. He mixed in a change-up, a curveball and some sinkers for the first time this season along with his fastball."You have to stay humble about the whole experience," Miller said. "It's not always going to be pretty and (I'm) not always going to pitch this good. I soak it up and try to learn something new every day and hang around the veterans."Every time I go out there, it's a learning experience and I learn something new."Cruz started at catcher instead of Yadier Molina. It was just Cruz's 11th game of the season."I thought for the most part, he threw pitches were he wanted to," Cruz said. "He's got incredible stuff. He's just getting better and better."Cardinals manager Mike Matheny liked seeing Miller use his secondary pitches."I actually saw a couple of sinkers," Matheny said. "It was a good job."Matt Cain (4-3) allowed seven runs in six innings, falling to 0-3 at Busch Stadium with an 8.87 ERA in four starts.All the damage done to Cain came in the third, when he threw 40 pitches. In the other five innings he pitched, Cain set the Cardinals down in order. He threw 101 pitches, striking out nine with no walks.The Cardinals had seven runs on nine hits -- seven singles and two doubles -- in the third when St. Louis sent 12 men to the plate. Cruz smacked a two-run double. Daniel Descalso hit a double and a single while Pete Kozma had two singles in the outburst."It's a bonus when you can help out at the plate, but my job is behind the plate," Cruz said. "I try to stay on top of game when I get a chance. I try to keep sharp working in the cage. There's nothing like seeing your name on the lineup card."I don't get in there very much but when it's up there, it's kind of exciting."Matt Carpenter, John Jay, Allen Craig, Matt Adams and Descalso each had RBI singles."He was just like leaving more balls over the plate," Adams said. "We didn't miss any of the pitches."Cain didn't disagree."I made a lot of bad pitches and they took advantage of it," he said.This was the second time this season St. Louis torched Cain. On April 7 in San Francisco, he gave up a career-worst nine runs in the fourth inning. The Cardinals sent 13 batters to the plate that inning, with eight hits, two walks and a hit batsman in what became a 14-3 St. Louis victory.Giants manager Bruce Bochy wishes he could explain it."Matty was frustrated, too, because he was throwing the ball well," Bochy said. "For that happen to the same team twice, that's hard to do."Descalso got his second RBI on a sacrifice fly in the eighth.Cardinals rookie Keith Butler, who was called up Thursday from Triple-A Memphis, made his debut in the ninth. He is the 10th rookie to debut for St. Louis this season. He gave up a hit and a walk and struck out one in a scoreless inning.Brandon Crawford had three singles for the Giants.Game notes
This was the first time the Giants and Cardinals played a doubleheader since April 9, 1994, when the teams met at Candlestick Park and split. ... St. Louis is undefeated in its last 10 series, going 8-0-2. ... The Giants have lost six of their last nine games and 11 of their last 17. ... San Francisco has lost its last six road games and eight of its last nine.

Ellen Goldsmith
From: No Pine Tree in This Forest Is Perfect. Sleepy Hollow, NY: Slapering Hol Press,1997
Ultima Vez Modificado: 6 de mayo del 2003
Birds land, take seed
and fly to the bare dogwood tree
One house finch flaps its wings, hovering
waiting for an empty perch
red breast and head pleasing my eyes
When I returned from the hospital
I asked my husband to fill the bird feeder
I wanted to sit with myself
watching the birds, listening
to their sounds
constant as the ocean
Refusing, he said "Birds need
to feed themselves in summer."
If I fed that sentence to the birds
would they drop it to the ground
or take it in their beaks and crush it?

There is always a big surprise in college basketball. The key is trying to find which player can be the biggest surprise of them all once the season is over.
By Brian Buckey,
After a thrilling 2013-14 season in college basketball, it's never too early to look forward to next season. With several impact players yet to make a decision on whether to turn pro or stay in school, this list could easily change in a few weeks. Here is a look at the top 25 for next season: (more…)

Will any of the top-15 ranked teams stumble badly enough to actually lose a second-round game in the NCAA Tournament? Both common sense and past history suggest that the likelihood of that happening is remote. Getting hit by lightning or winning the lottery seems more likely. Putting your faith in 12-seeds or higher is extremely dangerous to your bracket, if not your health. But the purpose of this article is to swing for the fences and attempt to guess where a huge loss or two might actually occur. After all, strange things sometimes do take place amidst March Madness. So let's play the speculation game and see if we can pull a rabbit out of the hat. (more…)
By Erika Kincaid,
I hope everybody's got their brackets filled out, because March Madness is upon us yet again. This year, getting your bracket selections right could be worth quite a bit, as Warren Buffett has promised $1 Billion (yes…Billion with a B) to whoever fills out a perfect bracket. This was probably a safe bet on his part, though, since the odds of correctly predicting all of the winners is something like one in ten million. Plus, this year there are some serious contenders in all four regions; it is hard to really pick a clear winner. (more…)

Space Travel
A NASA study has recently concluded that the "Cannae Drive," a disruptive new method of space propulsion, can produce small amounts of thrust without the use of propellant, in apparent discordance with Newton's third law. According to its inventor, the device can harness microwave radiation inside a resonator, turning electricity into a net thrust. If further verified and perfected, the advance could revolutionize the space industry, dramatically cutting costs for both missions in deep space and satellites in Earth orbit. Read More
The commercialization of space travel is picking up pace with companies like SpaceX and Virgin Galactic leading the way. In a bid to ensure it doesn't miss out on the potential economic benefits of commercial spaceflights, the UK is looking to construct its first spaceport, with a shortlist of eight potential sites announced at the Farnborough Air Show. Read More
Arizona-based World View Enterprises has successfully completed its first test flight of a space tourism balloon that, for the price of US$75,000 per person, will lift six passengers into the stratosphere to an altitude of 20 miles (32 km). From there, they will be able to see the curvature of the Earth. The company says it is on track to fly its first passenger in just two years time. Read More
NASA has announced the five winners of its 2014 International Space Apps Challenge.

With a projected settlement date of 2025, the Mars One project has received over 200,000 applications for the one way trip to the Red Planet. But creating a living, sustainable community on the distant planet for the select inhabitants will require not only unique technological and engineering solutions, but also novel architectural systems. Bryan Versteeg is a conceptual designer who's been working with the Mars One team in anticipation of the planet's eventual colonization. Read More
For over forty years, Earthwatch has been sending ordinary people to extraordinary places in the company of top scientists to conduct hands-on research in over 50 expeditions. On Thursday, the international nonprofit organization announced its most ambitious and extraordinary public expedition ever aimed at sending volunteers to Mars in search for water and life. With its US$1.25 million ticket price, it seems too good to be true, and probably is. Read More
Getting into space is an expensive business where every little bit of extra weight, which includes the fuel powering the spacecraft, can add thousands of dollars to the cost of a mission. A team of researchers at MIT proposes establishing gas stations in space as a possible way to help cut the cost of future missions to the Moon. Read More
There's a conundrum of growing food in outer space: the same optimal conditions that create quick plant growth also leaves them missing a nutrient that protects human eyes from radiation, such as astronauts experience. However, scientists under the direction of Barbara Demmig-Adams at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a method of using bright pulses of light to trick plants into producing more zeaxanthin, which humans cannot produce on their own but is essential for long-term eye health and visual acuity.

Space fishing: ESA floats plan to net space junk
With the film Gravity hoovering up awards for its portrayal of astronauts dodging colliding satellites, now seems a good time to talk about the very real threat posed by space debris. It's small wonder, then, that ESA's Clean Space initiative is looking at developing a satellite that can rendezvous with space debris and render it harmless by netting it like fish. The proposal is just one of the ideas to be discussed as part of a symposium this May focusing on the space agency's e.DeOrbit mission. Read More
The Concordia Research Station, a joint interest between the French IPEV polar institute and the Italian PNRA Antarctic program, is by all accounts one of the most isolated and inhospitable locations available to humanity, requiring more time to reach than it takes to travel to the International Space Station (ISS). The European Space Agency (ESA) takes advantage of the facility's unique location and conditions, conducting extensive research into the implications of long-term space flight on the human body. Read on as we take a look at the conditions at the station, and the importance of the research being carried out there. Read More

Chu v. Cornell, 247 F.2d 929 (9th Cir. 1957), cert. denied 355 U.S. 892 (1958). Administrative case law has characterized moral turpitude as "a nebulous concept, which refers generally to conduct that shocks the public conscience." Obviously, offenses such as murder, voluntary manslaughter, kidnaping, robbery, and aggravated assaults involve moral turpitude. However, assaults not involving dangerous weapons or evil intent have been held not to involve moral turpitude. Conspiracy, attempt, or being an accessory involves moral turpitude if the underlying offense involves moral turpitude. There is administrative and judicial case law holding that any crime having as an element the intent to defraud is a crime involving moral turpitude. See Gordon and Mailman, Immigration Law and Procedure, § 75.05[1][d].

"GOP Strategy Won't Fool Women": All The Rhetoric In The World Won't Make Up For Republicans Opposing Pro-Women Policies
If they're going to pull out a victory in the midterm elections, Republicans need to win over women. But they're doing everything in their power to alienate them, from pushing extreme anti-abortion measures that even most Republican voters oppose to blocking equal-pay legislation to, well, just opening their mouths. A leading Republican congressional candidate in Georgia recently said, sure, a woman can run for office if she is "within the authority of her husband."
A report actually commissioned by Republican groups and reported in Politico found that women view the party as "intolerant" and "stuck in the past." The report found that women are "barely receptive" to GOP policies.
In other words, Republicans are losing female voters faster than their anti-contraception policies can produce them.
What are Republicans to do? The Republican Party seems reluctant to change its actual policies to support women's economic and reproductive choices and, ya know, generally acknowledge the realities of modern liberated women. So instead, several Republican candidates are coming out against domestic violence in an attempt to seem sensitive to us girls and our issues. That should do the trick, right?
"My ex-husband beat me with a baseball bat, threw me in a garbage can filled with snow and left me in a frozen storage locker to die," a woman says, looking straight at the camera, in one such ad for Scott Walker, the Republican governor of Wisconsin. "At that time, I was pregnant, and I lost the child I was carrying. But I fought to stay alive for my other two children, and today I am fighting for Scott Walker."
Similar ads have been run by Steve Daines, Republican Senate candidate in Montana, and Scott Brown, Republican Senate candidate in New Hampshire.
There's just one problem: All the rhetoric in the world doesn't make up for Republicans opposing and obstructing pro-women policies. It's not just the repeated attempts to crush reproductive freedom and block equal-pay legislation; Republicans also opposed the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. That's the law that was actually supposed to do something about domestic violence, a law that Republicans blocked for over a year before finally caving and allowing it to pass.
Republicans objected to provisions in the bill that would expand domestic violence protections for Native Americans and gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans; they even tried to pass their own version of the bill with these protections stripped out. Ultimately, after a year of obstructionism, Republicans allowed the more expansive and bipartisan Senate version of the act to come up for a vote in the House — and even then, a majority of Republicans voted against the measure.
Fast-forward to election season. Florida Republican Steve Southerland has one of the toughest re-election fights in the country. In the House, Southerland voted against the expanded version of the Violence Against Women Act, the version that ultimately passed, but voted for the narrow Republican version that didn't pass. Now, Southerland is running an ad featuring a survivor of domestic violence who says, "Our congressman, Steve, is advocating for things like (the) Violence Against Women Act." Well, kinda sorta but not really, Steve.
Southerland's opponent, Gwen Graham, had her response ad up within 24 hours, accusing Southerland of "saying one thing in TV ads, doing the opposite in Congress." Which basically sums up all the attempts of Republicans to appeal to female voters on rhetoric but abandon them on policy.
And to be clear, equal pay and reproductive freedom are also key to preventing domestic violence. As the National Network to End Domestic Violence writes, "Like all women, survivors of domestic violence need equal pay initiatives like the Paycheck Fairness Act. As long as women are paid less than men, most survivors will have less ability to gain financial stability and independence." Many of these women are low-wage workers, who would also be helped by raising the minimum wage.
And a new study this week finds (PDF) that as many as one in four women who seek an abortion experience violence from an intimate partner. Women often say one primary reason for seeking an abortion is to avoid exposing their children to domestic violence. Another reason: They don't want to remain tied to an abusive partner. According to this long-term study, when these women are able to access abortion services, their odds of being abused decrease by 7% each month after — while women who can't get an abortion see their rates of domestic violence remain the same or even increase.
Reproductive choice, including abortion rights, and wage equity, including raising the minimum wage and passing gender-equity legislation, are key not only for all women and their families but for victims and survivors of domestic violence, for whom economic and reproductive freedom translates directly into freedom from abuse.
The Republican Party has do more than just talk about domestic violence and women's opportunity and actually support the real policies that support women's freedom and choices — or otherwise, women will keep choosing to vote for Democrats.

"Tell The Misses Not To Wait Up": Florida Congressman Finds New Ways To Alienate Women
This election season, there are really only a handful of House Republican incumbents who are in real trouble. Freshman Rep. Steve Southerland (R), who narrowly won in his North Florida district in 2012, is one of them.
In a district in which registered Democrats outnumber Republicans, it seems Southerland would be smart to play it safe and try to avoid alienating key constituencies. And yet, the GOP congressman seems to have a knack for pushing women voters away.
For example, Southerland was recently caught misleading voters about his vote on the Violence Against Women Act. Making matters worse, voters recently learned the conservative lawmaker hosted a men-only fundraising event a few months ago. The invitation, obtained by BuzzFeed, encouraged attendees to "tell the misses not to wait up" because "the after dinner whiskey and cigars will be smooth & the issues to discuss are many."
Southerland's opponent, school administrator Gwen Graham (D), criticized the fundraiser, prompting the congressman to make matters just a little worse.
Asked to respond to the Democrats' criticism that he's anti-women, Southerland laughed and said: "I live with five women. That's all I'm saying. I live with five women. Listen: Has Gwen Graham ever been to a lingerie shower? Ask her. And how many men were there?"
He didn't appear to be kidding. In Southerland's mind, a sitting congressman hosting a policy discussion with donors is comparable to women hosting a "lingerie shower."
Just as an aside, I'll confess to having the exact same reaction to this as the Miami Herald's Marc Caputo: "What's a 'lingerie shower?' Most people know what baby showers are. And a few are probably familiar with lingerie shows. To combine the two is kinda creepy." When a reader noted that "lingerie showers" are usually held for brides to be, Caputo added, "And that makes Southerland's comment even less helpful to his cause."
MSNBC's Anna Brand talked to Gwen Graham's campaign manager about Southerland's comments.
Graham's campaign manager Julia Gill Woodward responded to the comparison to msnbc, saying "This isn't just stuff Steve Southerland says; given his pattern of troubling actions and disturbing comments, it is obviously what Steve Southerland believes. Southerland says these things out of a fundamental disrespect for women."
"Only if Southerland disrespects women could he hold an official, Men-Only Southerland campaign fundraiser and laugh it off after the fact," Woodward continued. "Only if Southerland disrespects women could he air TV ads claiming to have voted for The Violence Against Women Act while he actually voted against it in Congress. Only if Southerland disrespects women could he make this insulting 'lingerie party' comment about a woman like Gwen Graham."
The DCCC's interest in this race was strong before. I have a hunch it just got stronger.

"It Makes No Sense": Why Do People Vote Against Their Own Best Interests?
This question has stymied political strategists and pundits for a long time. As an expert in the women's market, I too am baffled by the way people, especially women, vote against those who share their ideals and values in lieu of voting for those who don't.
I have frequently been asked and often pondered the question: "Why would a woman vote Republican when they clearly have a war on women?" I wish I had a great answer for this. Perhaps they have always voted Republican, and thus continue down this path. Perhaps they are wealthy and the tax breaks the Republicans fight for, that primarily benefit the rich, is the most important reason. Perhaps they believe the falsehoods and phony rhetoric of the Republican Party. Whatever the reason, I find it truly disturbing.
Both women and men should vote for elected officials whose actions show that they have the best interests of the citizens and country in mind, but for some reason, they don't.
While I acknowledge that many Republican women are pro-life, offering choice, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, just makes good sense. I'm not advocating abortion; I am saying that I should have the choice to decide what is best for me and my family.
Equally troubling is why Republican women support a party who barely passed the Violence Against Women Act, who don't support legislation to guarantee that a women receives equal pay for equal work, and who think women's bosses should have the right to determine her health care and reproductive decisions.
As Republican governors refuse to accept billions of dollars in free federal money to expand Medicaid, hundreds of thousands of people are going without medical care and are dying needlessly. As the GOP continues to cut billions from food stamps, many women and children are going hungry.
Men are also hurt by the policies of the Republican Party. Many men support the party because they are pro-gun, but Republicans also vote to keep the minimum wage at poverty levels and are against extending unemployment benefits. These policies hurt the working class.
Republicans want to reduce government spending and control, but I wonder if the populace realizes that many solidly red states that they live in receive a huge percentage of their income from the federal government? In actuality, the amount many red states pay in federal taxes is small compared to the amount they receive back from the government.
Do they think about how the government spends this money building the roads they drive on daily, or providing funds for the fire department that comes to their home if there is an emergency? When a natural disaster strikes them, do they accept F.E.M.A's help? These and many more necessities are government-funded programs.
To cut spending on these and other projects as the Republicans suggest, would greatly impact both the men and women in these states in a very destructive way. It reminds me of the old saying, "cutting off your nose to spite your face." It makes no sense.
In reality, the Republicans don't want to cut spending, just redistribute it from the poor and middle class to the wealthy. The Republican budget once again gives massive tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans, while it cuts programs and safety nets that help many of the people who vote Republican. I don't understand why people vote against their own best interests, especially when it hurts their family, the economy and the principles on which America was founded.
I respect the two-party system and believe it is healthy for a democracy to have differences that exist in many areas of fiscal and social governance. But the right-wing fringe has hijacked the sanity of the Republican Party, and the GOP needs to get back on track. Gerrymandering, suppressing the vote, allowing unrestricted funds and unlimited terms have led to undemocratic practices which will destroy America if voters don't stand up and fight for what is right.
Citizens, whether Republicans, Democrats or Independents, all have much to gain by voting for politicians who are interested in the good of the country: working together, listening to each other, and compromising. If they continue to choose representatives who do not support our fragile Democratic Process, citizens will soon have more reasons to fear Washington D.C. than foreign terrorists.

"Another Case Of Willful Deception": Mitch McConnell Shouldn't Brag About Supporting Bills He Opposed
Several weeks ago, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R) got caught misleading Kentucky voters about his record on the Violence Against Women Act. This morning, he was even more brazen on the subject (via Joe Sonka).
A press release distributed by Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) campaign at a "Women for Team Mitch" event on Friday brags about the Senate Minority Leader's support for the Violence Against Women Act, even though McConnell voted against the measure in 1994, 2012, and 2013.
"Mitch was the co-sponsor of the original Violence Against Women Act — and continues to advocate for stronger polices to protect women. I am proud to call him my senator," the document quotes a voter as saying.
For months, a variety of congressional Republicans have pretended to support the Violence Against Women Act, even after they voted against it, hoping voters and reporters wouldn't know the difference.
But the fact that McConnell has a lot of company doesn't make this any better. His campaign is now trying to give voters the impression that he's championed VAWA, but in reality, McConnell has voted against it repeatedly. Indeed, he voted against it even when he knew with certainty it would pass — suggesting he opposed the law just to make a point about the depth and seriousness of his opposition.
As for the notion that McConnell "continues to advocate for stronger polices to protect women," let's also not forget that the Senate Minority Leader voted against the Lilly Ledbetter Act and the Paycheck Fairness Act.
If McConnell wants to defend his record, fine. If he wants Kentuckians to find merit in the votes he cast, the senator is welcome to make his case. But the fact that he sees willful deception as the appropriate course is a problem.

"Changing The Culture": All Women Deserve The Right To Live Free From Fear
President Obama signed the Violence Against Women Act into law on Thursday.
"All women deserve the right to live free from fear," the president told those in attendance. "That's what today is about."
In 2011, VAWA lapsed for the first time since 1994, when House Republicans balked at enhanced protections for undocumented immigrants, Native Americans and members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. Studies have shown that the law — written by then-senator Joe Biden — dramatically reduced domestic violence by as much as 67 percent (PDF).
The law previously had been expanded and renewed twice with broad bipartisan support.
"This is your day. This is the day of the advocates, the day of the survivors. This is your victory," Obama said. "This victory shows that when the American people make their voices heard, Washington listens."
The bipartisan Senate bill that included the expanded protections was not even put up for a vote in the House last year. A GOP "civil war" that led to Speaker Boehner breaking the Hastert Rule — which requires a majority of the House majority to support any bill that gets a vote — was required before the bill was finally passed 288-138 earlier in February.
House Republicans also voted on their own version of the law without the new provisions, which failed to win majority support.
The law is so popular that Republican congressman Tim Walberg (R-MI) recently claimed he voted for the law even though he only supported the failed Republican version.
"One of the great legacies of this law is it didn't just change the rules, it changed our culture. It empowered people to start speaking out," Obama said.
Despite the continued effectiveness of the law — violence against women is down 64 percent just in the last decade – 1 in 5 women will be raped during their lifetime, the president noted.
"There are still too many women in this country who live in fear of violence," Biden said in his introduction of President Obama.
Not only does the law improve the criminal justice system's response to crimes against women, it authorizes about $659 million a year over five years to fund grants for transitional housing, legal assistance, law enforcement training and hotlines.
It also reauthorizes the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, adding stalking to the list of crimes that make immigrants eligible for protection, along with authorizing programs that help college campuses deal with sexual violence.
The president dedicated the victory to the victims of domestic violence.

Well ladies it's that time of the year! Doing the taxes! Fun times!
Trying to be frugal and taxes sometimes don't mix. Like, hubby and I pay someone to do our taxes each year. We have had the same man for 6 years and we love him! We pay about 200-250.00 each year. We both feel having someone do them is better because we don't want to make any mistakes. Hubby has 401k papers and school papers and what not and we don't want that to get messed up.
Now we do get a refund but once hubby becomes a lawyer that will change, but to me 200-250.00 is alot of money that could be spent on something else ,but for this situation we will do it.
So do you file your own? Have a person do it? If you get a refund do you save it and add it into a monthly budget?
We've always filed our own. I do them, usually over a weekend. Never had an issue.
We just take the refund and put it into savings for whatever big item we're saving up for.
I pay someone, but I have had a difficult situation the past few years with a bonus from work and saving for a house deposit which has meant no refund so paying someone has helped ensure what I owe is as little as possible. Ax time is July here, and last year I got money back which was enough to pay my rates for the whole of this year, so hopefully I get that amount each year because that eases some stress on us. Hubby,s are way overdue si when he finally does them he will be paying back some accounts and also we get a bunch of money owed to us from childcare so it will be quite th exciting to get all that extra money
My DH does ours. We do get a refund, but the last few years we've used it to pay down debt. About half will be used for that this year, the other half will go to savings for our mid year property taxes. I am crossing my fingers that next year we can use it for a trip with the family or something.
On top of taxes, it's bonus time! With the bonus we're paying off our new camper and dh's car. The taxes are being saved and will probably go towards our closing on our house.
We have a tax person we use.

Mom to Ayden 12.18.01, Kailey 7.1.03,
Ashlyn 6.11.05, Dylan 9.29.07 & Riley 12.8.09
This year we will be using the money to buy a second car. We have been a 1 car family but it's becoming hard since my husband has school and work and I have things for the kids to do. We used to be able to do it with 1 car but my husband is going to be starting his 2nd yr of Law School in the fall and they have field trips! And he needs a small car. Plus it will help with gas, I can take the small car during the day when he is not in school and I have 3 kids in school I can use it to run to the grocery store and what not.
Hubby files ours since 2008....we use TaxAct which is put out by the IRS. Federal file is free and the state fee is minimal....I don't think we have paid more than $35 to file. Their software is simple and walks you through everything. We itemize with mortgage, medical, student loan and it is quite easy. We will be using our refund to pay off our car and then the rest will be used to pay down the student loan.

Janae I didn't know you were pregnant!! Congrats!!!!!
ok back to subject! I will have to look into the taxact thing. We don't have a mortage but we have the student loans and the out of pocket school payments. I would rather pay 35!
We do free file, but I buy the TaxAct software ($14-ish pays for Federal and State e-filing), but you don't have to pay anything if you use just for Federal free file. I find the TaxAct software to be very user friendly. I have done my own taxes for the last 20 years, including some self-employment. We always get a refund because we have so many kids. We had a huge refund last year because of a special tax credit for adoption. We're still living off that while Isaiah is in the hospital, but we used about 2/3 of it to pay off debts. Usually, we get a couple thousand dollars (give or take). We usually have something we need or want to buy when the refund comes around, so we spend some of it and put some of it into savings to use as a need arises. This year's refund will probably pay for our trip to St. Louis in May for my nephew's wedding.

DS Isaiah, 8 ......... DS Thomas, 7
DD Cherish, 6....... DD Emily, 7\18\13 ....... Ripple, 17
William, 14 weeks, 4/11/12
I file our taxes each year. This is the first year I am nervous with school credit, adoption reimbursements, business expenses, and some other things. But my mom looks over my taxes each year before we file. (She works for the IRS).
This year if we get a refund it will go finish the emergency fund and the rest will go to pay down our debt.

After experiencing historic collapses during the end of last year's regular season, the Atlanta Braves and Boston Red Sox were undoubtedly feeling a bit shaky heading into this winter's offseason.
For some reason, I had a very hard time coming up with a single topic to write about this week. So, I'll pull a "Noted and passed" and mention a little bit of a whole lotta that.
Voters are a tough bunch to satisfy these days. The number of people who are registered to vote as Democrat or Republican has plunged by 2.5 million since 2008, according to a new tally. Independent ranks have grown. Nonetheless, studies show, most independents still vote overwhelmingly for one party or the other, even if they don't want to admit that in public.
WASHINGTON -- The great thing about Iowa is that no matter whom the voters selected in their neighborhood huddles, it doesn't really matter. Placing in Iowa might land one a talk show (see Mike Huckabee), but the preferences of a handful of Americans belonging to a committed, ideological subset of a committed, ideological party do not a national trend suggest. The presumptive candidate proceeds apace.
Mrs. Margaret, our accountant, and I were discussing where the year had gone last week and we agreed that things just move so fast these days that we don't take the time to appreciate what matters anymore.
Having the opportunity each month to write on an array of topics continues to deliver to me absolute satisfaction. Chosen subject matter usually encompasses certain resolute thoughts that have incited my interest or stirred my conscience in some manner. This month has proven to be no different except for, perhaps, the degree in which my awareness and inference of a fastidious topic has been kindled; the painstaking topic of war. Last week, we took in the Stephen Spielberg movie, "War Horse." The story has a universal message; one that portrays to its viewers the horror of war in which men ...
OK, OK. I confess:
When John McCain wrapped up the Republican nomination four years ago, one person was reportedly at the top of his vice presidential list -- Sen. Joe Liebermann.
(Columnist Kathleen Parker is in vacation, In her absence, Ruth Marcus, a columnist with the Washington Post Writers Group, is featured today.)
If you pay attention to the news -- and if you're reading this community newspaper it's likely that you do -- you're probably aware that the federal government just rejected South Carolina's recently-passed "Voter ID" law, which would require voters to present photo identification before casting a ballot in an election.
When I was a little kid, I loved imagining what things would be like when I grew up. I've kept right on imagining through today, whether it be through fiction I've written or some of these columns of mine you've read in years past.
In response to a November 2011 column in which railroad artifacts were discussed and pictured, Eugene Carl Griggs of Lugoff called to say he enjoyed it very much. Gene is a retired former employee of the Seaboard Railway. Little did this columnist know our conversation would lead into some very interesting and little known areas of World War II history.
(Columnist Clarence Page is on vacation. In his absence, Robert Koehler, an award-winning, Chicago-based journalist and nationally syndicated writer, is featured today.)
Let's start with some good news:
Unless you've been holed up in a basement somewhere for the past few years -- if you seldom read a newspaper or watch a news broadcast on television -- you are aware of global warming and the catastrophic effects it could have upon our planet.
Republicans seem ceaselessly enamored of litmus tests, but the newest one -- Do you believe President Obama loves America? -- makes birthers seem witty.
"Seriously, moron? How about just clean up the place already!"
On Feb. 5, around 1:15 p.m., students at the University of South Carolina (USC) received a text message warning "SHOTS FIRED" -- two words which would send chills and panic through the large campus that is home to nearly 32,000 students.
During those times when it gets positively frigid here in Kershaw County -- say, 9 degrees when I woke up Friday morning -- I often tell people, "This isn't why I moved down South."
One of my friends called the other. One of my best friends. There was both urgency and distress in her voice.
I'm reading that two boxers – Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao – have agreed to whomp on each other for $250 million.
WASHINGTON -- Channel-surfing the nightly cable news, one is reminded that certitude is the enemy of sanity.
It seems one of my favorite topics to write this column about each week is the news media. It's only natural I have a keen interest in the news; it is my chosen profession, after all.
We are working on a Boykin Spaniel exhibit at the Camden Archives and Museum. Our curator of collections, Rickie Good, is an avowed dog lover whose household is home to four big dogs. She is absolutely in heaven working on this exhibit. With thousands of photographs of Boykin Spaniels on disk at her desk, she declares each one she opens is the cutest. Choosing the puppies to be featured in the exhibit has been a joyful and overwhelming task for her. Listening to her talk to her computer companions has made me remember all of the canine buddies who have ...

Why are so many champs that built PD in s2 switching to Shiv for s3? The cost difference is only 300 gold, and PD provides significantly higher AS and Crit chance at the expense of a single percent of MS. That's clearly in favor of PD, so the answer has to be the passive - except champions building these items are almost always ranged AD carries. As such, positioning is critical and wave clearing is already very powerful, so doesn't the PD's unit collision passive make more sense then the Shiv's multitarget passive? Is it because the damage is magic, which makes the carry less susceptible to armor nullifying their damage? Carries building these items should almost always be building ArPen, but never MPen, so this seems counterproductive unless in a heavy AD teamcomp where the opposing team isn't building MR at all. Is it because the damage can crit? Even with an Infinity Edge, this only goes up to 250, and, as before, can be mitigated my MR. Is it because, with high AS, it procs often enough to significantly increase the champion's damage output? Even so, isn't it unusual for most champions to take more then one AS item? The usual ADC setup I'm familiar with is one item for mobility, one for crit, one for AS, one for LS, one for ArPen, and one for defence. Now, obviously, these can be adjusted as needed, but wouldn't the loss of one of these other items offset any potential gain from the Shiv passive? Shiv builders, what are your thoughts on this? What advantages do you see in this item over the PD? What situations do you use it for?
Ive never seen the static shiv used, and looking at the math it seems like a clear win for PD.
when u check the math on champs with high mobility via abilities Static shiv deals more damage in mid- late game over phantom dancer. in a straight up fight with out moving phantom wins.
actually the math showed that shiv was stronger early-mid game but the PD won out in the late game, the reason that pros have been building it so much is for strategic purposes, if they want bot to be pushing at all times that adcs will get shiv, it also helps when the enemy has weak wave clear or just to even out the gap. They find it strong on hyper carries because they will do the damage regardless and would rather have the extra pushing ability. Personally all get it on vayne so that i dont get raped early game by cait nunu or any other lane that pushes to hard. Its pretty situational but there's a good reason that more and more pros a getting it. Id still get PD on champs with wave clear tho, with the except to cait because shiv makes her poke pretty sick.
Alright, so basically it's for additional pushing power in lanes that tend to get pushed in, as well as for long range poke? Thanks for the replies.
Bump. Anyone else have thoughts on this?
I don't build shiv, not because it is bad, but because it doesn't fit my style. Shiv fits into team that really favor quick movement around the map, so the ad carry can clear minions even faster and can join the team to push somewhere else. However, I play a much more passive AD carry and tends to have no need for the passive.
1%ms is actually noticeable, by the way. But really? I greatly favour PD for the ghost effect. I'll get shiv on, say, Tristana/Caitlyn - they have gap openers and insane range.

While driving from Melbourne to Ballarat with my beautiful girlfriend Louise (a great photographer in her own right), this amazing electrical storm took form across the farmlands. Wanting to get to Ballarat and chill out I was umming and ahhing about pulling over until Lousie convinced me to take a few shots. I pulled off the freeway and drove for a bit up a country road until I found a good spot with an open view. We climbed up a small hill and set up the camera taking a number of shots.
This image was constructed in Photoshop from four separate exposures to combine four different bolts of lightning into the one image.
Finally the combination of being lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time and having learned the required skills (after many, many failures), and having the right company pushing me along (thanks baby), I think I achieved capturing and creating something special.

This week we're introducing a new video series giving you insights into the intriguing and mysterious happenings at Dove Valley.
We're pulling back the curtain to see just what is happening as the Broncos search for a new general manager.
This one is called "Chia Pets," and stars Joe Ellis and Brian Xanders.
According to Woody Paige in his column today, the Broncos will indeed be going back to orange jerseys full time starting with the 2012 season (the earliest they can do so at this juncture). This, just six short weeks after Dave Krieger and then-coach Josh McDaniels spent half the Monday presser following the win versus KC talking about jerseys? Wow, things work quickly around these parts, eh? Was it the fan email campaign that Krieger started? Was it the online petition started by our friends over at BroncosForums.com?
Funny - the first hint of such an idea comes after a rousing home victory in which the Broncos wore orange. The day after the team's next win, which also happened to come at home and with QB-of-the-future Tim Tebow directing his first 4th-quarter comeback, Woodrow lets it slip that the orange jerseys will return. Amazing...well, you know what I think. But conspiracy theories aside, I'm thrilled to hear it. How do you feel about the decision?
Good Morning, Broncos fans! Denver won yesterday for just the fourth time all year, breaking a five-game losing streak as Tim Tebow earned his first NFL victory, fourth-quarter comeback and 300-yard game. The Broncos overcame a 17-0 halftime deficit and trailed the Texans 23-10 as the final period began - Denver dominated the fourth quarter as Tebow threw for one touchdown (a 23-yard catch-and-run by Correll Buckhalter) and ran the game winner in from six yards out with 3:11 remaining. Tebow finished the game with 308 yards passing and 27 yards rushing to go with the two touchdowns and an ugly first-drive interception in the Texans' endzone. Over the course of his first two NFL starts, Tebow has put forth an impressive 93.4 QB rating with an eye-popping 9.9 YPA while generating an average of 8.7 yards of adjusted total offense per chance*, along with a TD on 6.1% of his chances. By comparison, previous starting QB Kyle Orton has averaged 7.2 YPA and 6.2 yards adjusted total offense, and a 3.6 TD% passing and rushing over the past two seasons.
Small sample? Yes, of course. Stats we'd never have considered pre-Tebow? Absolutely. But that's the point - Tebow brings a different dimension to the Denver offense via his ability to make plays on the run. So, is it more fair to compare Tebow to Jay Cutler, Orton's predecessor? Cutler averaged 7.4 YPA, 6.2 yards adjusted total offense and scored a TD 4.1% of the time as Denver's starting QB - numbers very much like those Orton has produced as a Bronco, and also significantly less productive than Tebow. Again, small sample. But these are the numbers that matter, if you're in the business of trying to win football games.
* I've taken PFR's Adjusted Net Yards Per Attempt (which factors in TDs and INTs) and also added in rushing stats. Chance = Pass Attempts + Sacks + Rush Attempts
And God said, "Let there be two halves."
How could the Broncos look so bad in the 1st half and so good in the 2nd?
They let their quarterback play one on TV.
The first half was one of screens (slip, bubble, running back, silver?). The Broncos' coaching staff either didn't trust their young quarterback or they simply wanted to continue to take his development as slowly as possible. Did they realize they were facing the league's worst defense in the Houston Texans?
The 17-0 deficit was actually a blessing in disguise. It forced the Broncos' coaches to finally unleash the Tebow. In the 2nd half, they had no other choice.
Tim Tebow may be a lot of things (young, inexperienced, and still under development), but there's one thing he's not--boring. He gave the Broncos energy today. Energy to burn.
Have you ever noticed how bad the Broncos are at defending the screen game? Seemingly, for years, it's been a consistent weakness. The main reason is that they have mostly had to rush more than four men to get any pressure on the opposing Quarterback. A secondary cause is that the Broncos have rarely fielded good tackling teams over the last 25 years or so. Even in today's victory against the Texans, numerous screens were successfully run against the Broncos. It's frustrating, isn't it?
The other side of that coin is how you can frustrate the other team by maximizing the effectiveness of your own screen game. This has never really been an area of strength for the Broncos, either, over the last 25 years. The reason why is the Quarterback, going back to John Elway, and continuing through the recently-ended Kyle Orton era. The Broncos just haven't ever had guys who were very comfortable or consistent with setting up the screen game, so a potentially devastating weapon has often not been used much.
Wins by Denver, Cincinnati, Washington and Detroit today have assured that the Broncos will select no worse than 6th overall in next April's draft. However, with the Broncos' victory over the Texans, the Carolina Panthers have now won are now locked into the Andrew Luck Sweepstakes first overall choice. A loss at home next Sunday to San Diego would ensure that Denver picks 2nd overall, while a victory could drop them potentially as low as 6th, behind Carolina, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Dallas and one of either Arizona or San Francisco.
Enjoy the games everyone, and Go (umm, play well and lose) Broncos!!!
What's worse than fruitcake on Christmas?
Having that fruitcake Peter King this close to you this late in the season.
As usual, we stack up a Random Number Generator (RNG) and my cat (Jesus Quintana) against some experts and the staff.
At the end of the year, we'll have some statistical lessons for everyone. Until that time, there's two more weeks of trying to finish ahead of King.
Let's see how things went last week.
Continue reading "The Jesus, The Generator and the Experts - Week 16"
Good Morning, Broncos fans! With Arizona's last-second win last night, the Broncos are now assured a top-3 pick if they should win exactly one of their remaining games. If they lose both games, Denver will get a top-2 pick, and if Carolina also beats Atlanta next week, the Broncos would pick 1st overall. Two wins by Denver would bring several other teams into the equation and could drop the Broncos to as low as the 8th pick.
In other words, it would be disastrous for the Broncos to win their last two games. They will have lost 11 games, gotten their head coach fired, enraged fans and become the butt of jokes nationwide, only to be picking perhaps 8th overall. This scenario would likely preclude Denver from the ability to select one of the top defensive linemen or cornerbacks who are expected to enter the draft (without trading up to do so).
Now, obviously it is very difficult to root against one's own team. In fact, I find it pretty much impossible myself. But our current situation allows us to not get too upset when a play goes badly, ie. a Bronco drops a pass or the Texans score, get mad for a second and then think "Top-2 Pick". Really, we need it. Whether it's for the chance to draft Andrew Luck or trade him for a bounty of picks, or to take someone like Da'Quan Bowers, Nick Fairley, Patrick Peterson, or Prince Amukamara, going 1-1 or 0-2 between today and next Sunday is crucial. As an aside, how neat would it be to have a pair of starting cornerbacks next season named Champ and Prince? So, of course - root for the Broncos to win and for Tim Tebow to show progress, but if/when they lose, don't sweat it. We'll be right where we want to be...
Good Morning, Broncos fans! To those of you who are celebrating today, we here at IAOFM would like to wish you a Merry Christmas! Enjoy the day, eat well, be safe and please don't drive drunk. As always, thanks so much to all of you for being here - we appreciate your readership.
