Disaster and Normality Since March 11, 2011
Fri, April 13, 2012 • 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM • Avaya Auditorium, ACE 2.302
Theodore C. Bestor of Harvard University to give a talk about the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in March of last year.
Professor Theodore Bestor is as a specialist on contemporary Japanese society and culture, focusing much of his research on Tokyo. He has written widely on urban culture and history, markets and economic organization, food culture, the fishing industry, and popular culture. He is also the president of the Association for Asian Studies.
Professor Bestor's most recent book, Tsukiji: The Fish Market at the Center of the World (University of California Press, 2004), is based on research he has being carrying out since 1991 at Tokyo's vast Tsukiji wholesale market, the world's largest marketplace for seafood and the center of Japan's sushi trade. The book is an ethnography of market life, and examines Tsukiji both historically and contemporarily as a case study in the interaction between cultural patterns and institutional structures that frame complex economic organization. He also researches the development of Japanese food culture broadly, and he is working on a book tentatively entitled Global Sushi that will look at globalization via the interaction of the fishing industry and culinary fashions.
He is the co-editor (with Patricia G. Steinhoff and Victoria Lyon Bestor) of Doing Fieldwork in Japan (University of Hawai'i Press, 2003), a collection of essays on the research experiences of 20 leading foreign scholars of Japan in the social sciences and history.
His first book, Neighborhood Tokyo (Stanford University Press, 1989), was an ethnography of local social institutions and the invention of community tradition in the daily life of an ordinary middle-class district of Tokyo. It received the 1990 Robert E. Park Award for Urban and Community Studies from the American Sociological Association and the 1990 Hiromi Arisawa Memorial Award for Japanese Studies from the American Association of University Presses.
Before coming to Harvard, Professor Bestor taught at Cornell University, where he was Professor (1997-2001) and Associate Professor (1993-97) of Anthropology and Asian Studies. Before that, he was on the faculty at Columbia University (1986-93) and served as staff director for Japanese and Korean Studies at the Social Science Research Council (1983-86).
Professor Bestor first visited Japan as a teenager, and since then has spent over eight years there as a student, researcher, and teacher. He received his Ph.D. in 1983 from Stanford University.

Premier League: Steven Pienaar fires Everton past Fulham at Goodison
Last Updated: 27/04/13 7:23pm
Steven Pienaar netted a first-half winner to hand Everton a 1-0 victory over Fulham at Goodison Park in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon and give their hopes of European football a timely boost.
The Toffees dominated the opening 45 minutes of the Merseyside clash and they were rewarded in just the 16th minute, when Pienaar tucked Seamus Coleman's low cross home from eight yards after some superb build-up from the hosts.
Everton began the day six points off fourth-placed Chelsea and although they closed that to three the Stamford Bridge side have a match in hand. Significantly, however, fifth-placed Spurs drew at Wigan, meaning their cushion over the Merseysiders is now only three points.
Best of the match
- Man of the match: Match winner Steven Pienaar put in a fine display crowned by his first-half goal, once again showing a great understanding with Leighton Baines down the left.
- Save of the match: Mark Schwarzer contributed some commendable stops over the course of the afternoon, most notably when he denied substitute Ross Barkley in the late stages.
- Miss of the match: Baines' fizzing cross fell perfectly to Marouane Fellaini in the second half but all he could do was thump it into the ground in front of goal, sending it bouncing over the crossbar.
- Chance of the match: Mirallas came close with a great volley which Schwarzer did well to palm away in the second half.
- Talking point: Everton's slim top-four hopes remain intact for now. How high can they finish? Will a top-10 finish be too much to ask of Fulham?
Marouane Fellaini's early header was saved by goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer before they took a 16th-minute lead, having assumed control of the game without so much as a word of objection from the visitors.
The Toffees had enjoyed plenty of penetration down the right and it was no surprise when Kevin Mirallas and Leon Osman combined to play in Coleman close to the byline for him to cut the ball back to the penalty spot where Pienaar ran in unchallenged to side-foot home.
Victor Anichebe looped a long-range header wide as the Cottagers continued to show little intent, then they were handed a blow when Dimitar Berbatov limped off after half an hour, with Mladen Petric stepping in.
Fellaini had Everton's two best chances before half-time, curling one effort wide after neat interplay by Pienaar and Nikica Jelavic, before team-mate Anichebe blocked his goalbound effort.
In between those Jelavic, a shadow of his prolific self of 12 months ago, could not decide whether to shoot or cross to Anichebe having been sent clear by Coleman and ultimately screwed the ball across goal and embarrassingly out for a throw-in.
Fulham's first chance came just before the break when Kieran Richardson's cross rolled just out of the reach of Petric at the far post.
They improved in the second half and Urby Emanuelson should have hit the target from Alex Kacaniklic's cross 10 minutes after the interval.
Mirallas' tumble in the area had the Belgium international appealing for a penalty but despite contact from Stanislav Manolev the Everton forward was already falling over. The Belgian's next intervention was brilliant, however, flicking it over Manolev before hitting a volley which Schwarzer palmed away.
Anichebe then looped a header just wide of the far post as Everton finally regained the dominance they had enjoyed in the first half.
Fellaini would have wrapped up victory five minutes from time but somehow bundled over Leighton Baines' cross from close range while substitute Ross Barkley forced a good save from Schwarzer when put clean through in added time.
Everton boss David Moyes was pleased to see Pienaar provide the creativity needed to secure the win.
"Steven played well today and gave us the creativity we needed," he told Sky Sports.
"It was a brilliantly worked goal. It was a good football goal from our point of view. We felt we made good passes, played through and it was a good finish by Steven at the end."
Fulham manager Martin Jol admits Everton were the better team and his side did not deserve to take much from the clash.
"We didn't deserve a lot, they were the better team," said the boss.
"It's 1-0 and when it's 1-0 in an away game you always feel you could have had a bit more. But it could have been two or three (to Everton) as well so I can't complain."

Dummies good heavens no!! Go for it with 4 EDF some big batteries and ESCs and burn some holes in the wild blue yonder!!
Jens |
Sucker for punishment me.I must have masochistic tendencies.Anyway here goes.
Most of the stuff I have built in the past has either been a one piece plane,or peg and screw fixed one piece wing. While searching for 100mm foam Ive been looking at the best way to laminate 2 50 mm sheets together. The way I have it set out,at the wing to centre section joint,the seam between two sheets will be on the airfoil centre line.Could I use that to my advantage?If the top sheet of the centre section extended 60mm into the wing,and the bottom sheet of the wing the same distance into the centre the result would be a halving joint. This type of arrangement must have been tried before,what are the drawbacks with it? (I am thinking of detachable wings,not fixed) Stuart |
A trial on my back up plan.The adhesive is as used by carpet fitters.Sprayed about 12" away to let the solvent dissipate.4/5 minutes to go off,clamped for about 15.it's been sat like this for about 30 mins;no sign of the joint moving.
I've used this method before on pink foam,seems to be ok.The adhesive cuts ok with a wire. Although all the best advice is not to laminate this will be the option if 100mm sheets prove elusive or are to remote to justify collection. Stuart |
100mm foam-Warrens stock it(thanks Richard) but only at a density of 38kg,which is a steep increase on the 30kg I'm using.This plus the fact I would be buying twice as much as I need means I have decided to go with laminating.If I plan the layout carefully I should be able to work it to my advantage-lightening voids in the centre section being one.
Stuart |
Bet mine are bigger than yours!These are the centre section profiles,blown up using squared paper and dividers.A point every 10mm on the pattern,20mm on these.They are cut from 2mm liteply,thin enough to cut out with a knife,only a small amount of sanding was needed.
Stuart |
I've been busy lately,helping with house renovations and g'dad stuff.Haven't had time in the afternoons, the time of day I like to do my building.In the few hours available I've been doing a bit of foam work.
First I pegged 3 sheets of foam together and cut them to the outline shape of 1/2the centre section.The foil outlines were marked on. The sheets were separated and the mid one marked out and framed up for a cut out to accept the pylon. |
This was then cut out.Where the wire entered will be filled with 1/64 ply.
Next the canopy area was cut out of the top section using a outer frame on top and the inner piece underneath-this to avoid making two templates.Worked ok,just went awry at the exit,balsa liner will hide that. The framing in the pic is one side of a slot to take a brass wing joiner box.This will terminate just beyond the pylon cut out,the remainder will have a 3mm ply strip inserted which will extend into the other half of the centre section. |
Sorry about the truncated posts,Tapatalk keeps sending me back to login which deletes unsent text.
I have quite a lot more cutting out to do,for lightening and components. When all that is sorted the idea is to cut the section to profile before glueing the sections together.I've done a trial using short lengths of bamboo skewer and double-sided tape,all placed to avoid the wire,and think it will work. My next problem will be foam,the usual supplier hasn't had any for weeks,I've sent emails to Knauf and their stockists to try to locate more. Still very much a work in progress.If and when I can get one side "roughed out"and a pylon designed I'll start a build log. Regards Stuart |
One for the carbon spar guys.I was looking at Verns Colibri and the way he laid out the tow.Nice and neat,should be within my capabilities.
If I was to do similar on a 1.5m foam wing,and also on a 2.4m wing,how much should I be looking to purchase?I have found some at-www.easycomposites.co.uk They stock 100m spools of 3k and 6k(I presume that's tensile strength) Any advice welcome(they do a wax which I am going to order,if the tow is ok I can order together) Regards Stuart Would I need a special epoxy for the stuff? |
In my opinion, you'd be better off getting uni-directional carbon cloth and cutting strips from that to form the spar. The resulting spar becomes part of the wing skin. If you go down the carbon tow route, you need to sand / wire cut channels out of the core (do-able but a hassle).
The 3k and 6k terms refer to the number of filaments in a tow. Epoxy? Any laminating ('wing skinning' in hobby shop parlance) epoxy will do but the thinner the better. |
If you're looking for simplicity, you can buy carbon plates and rods in most any thickness and shape. Here in the States we have Goodwinds.com for a supplier.
EPP slope plane builders, who are famous for their simplicity, use these rods and tubes exclusively. That is if they are looking for an upgrade from strapping tape. Kent |
Carbon Kevlar It's basically the same proses for both but I figured people might be more inclined if they had examples of previous successes. Also it seems to me that a little tension during wetting out would help keep the fibers straight. --Norm |
Kent,carbon rod/strip would be simple to do,but wouldn't I need some sort of taper?(going on the TLAR principle )
Norm,all that talk of dissolving size and mechanical shrinkage,it's like being back at work!(I was once asked to try spinning some chopped carbon tow-50mm I think it was- into a thread.Not a viable proposition)A bit too complicated for me I'm afraid. Because of the cost factor I think I'm going to order 100m of 6k tow and see what I can do with it. Thanks guys Regards Stuart |
A drawing of the wing.A main spar would need to be 1100mm;any thing over 1m in rod or unidirectional cloth starts to get expensive.
The faint lines are a projection of the leading edge taken off the templates.The bottom edge is spot on,the top needs adjusting by a couple of mm on the middle two(templates between the red lines) Considering how I came up with these they have worked out surprisingly well. Regards Stuart |

Top 3 'Over' Teams to Watch
By Covers.com
The path to college basketball success often begins with a potent offense.
With every possession so important - particularly at tournament time - teams that can generate points in hurry will often fare best. Several of the top teams in Division I boast formidable units that should present plenty of problems for opposing defenses.
Here are three teams that should reward bettors with consistent "over" action this season:
Connecticut Huskies (2012-13 O/U: 11-12-0)
The Huskies are one of the few top teams to return most of their roster core from last season - and what a core it is. Senior Shabazz Napier (17.1 points per game) leads a sensational guard rotation that includes fellow returnees Ryan Boatright (15.4 ppg) and Omar Calhoun (11.1 ppg). DeAndre Daniels (12.1) anchors the frontcourt, and all four players should see plenty of shots. As a perimeter-reliant unit, they'll run cold at times - but expect points in bunches most nights.
Oklahoma State Cowboys (12-14-2)
Any team boasting a lottery-bound guard in Marcus Smart can be counted upon to generate plenty of points. Smart (15.4 ppg) spearheads an impressive four-man offensive attack that includes swingman Le'Bryan Nash (14 ppg) and guards Markel Brown (15.3 ppg) and Phil Forte (10.2 ppg). The departure of big man Philip Jurick represents a major hit to the Cowboys' frontcourt defense, which only increases the chance that their games will be shootouts.
VCU Rams (13-15-0)
VCU had one of the top offenses in the nation a year ago, and this season's edition should be just as potent. Junior guard Traveon Graham (15.1 ppg) returns to lead a starting five that will include dominant forward Juvonte Reddic (14.6 ppg) and versatile guard Rob Brandenburg (10.4 ppg). Making up for the loss of Darius Theus and Troy Daniels may prove daunting, but head coach Chaka Smart runs one of the best up-tempo attacks in the NCAA and should adjust.

2013 UNC Hoops Preview
By Tim Nolan
The 2013 college basketball season starts on Friday, November 8. Here is a preview of the UNC Tar Heels for this year.
The UNC Tar Heels were 25-11 last year and lost to Kansas in the third round of the NCAA tournmament. UNC lost Dexter Strickland to graduation and Reggie Bullock to the NBA. Bullock averaged 14 ppg and 6.5 rebounds last year and would have provided senior leadership.
Coach Roy Williams is 700-180 in his career and 282-79 at UNC. The Tar Heels will be led by James Michael McAdoo. He is 6'8" and is now a junior. He scored 19 points in UNC's 82-63 exhibiton win over UNC Pembroke last Friday night. P.J. Hairston had some offseason troubles and will sit a few games but should lead the team in scoring. He can makes threes and scored 14.6 ppg last year. The point guard will be Marcus Paige. He will be a sophomore and will be stronger this season. His numbers were 8.6 ppg and almost 5 assists in the 2012-13 season.
UNC did bring in some strong recruits as freshmen. Isaiah Hicks, Kennedy Meeks and Nate Britt should see some playing time. J.P. Tokoto is very athletic but needs to shoot better. He sat out the exhibition game due to playing in some unregulated games this summer. Brice Johnson is a sophomore and needs to get stronger, play better defense and rebound. He may start some games.
Joel James is 6'10" and close to 280 pounds but is raw. Desmond Hubert will be a junior this year and provides a big body inside. He was 2-2 from the free throw line vs. Pembroke after shooting less than 30% in his first two years.
The Tar Heels open the season on Friday (November 8) against Oakland at the Dean Dome in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Be sure to check back here for a possible play on this game when the point spread and total are available.
Look for UNC to make it to the Sweet Sixteen this year. I predict they will win close to 24 games and open the NCAA tournament in Raleigh as a #4 seed.

Low Scoring Teams are good picks
By Tom Grassi
The adage, "Defense wins championships," is a credo that many college basketball teams live by, but when it comes to sports handicapping, there have been teams whose defense has been a path to making money for bettors.
These schools have made defense an integral part of the team philosophy, and done it over multiple years to develop a consistency that makes these teams viable betting options for the upcoming season.
Over the previous four seasons, the ten most consistent schools when it comes to keeping the score under the Las Vegas betting total are:
Gonzaga: 62-28-2
Western Illinois: 41-20-2
Cincinnati: 58-30
South Florida: 53-32
Seton Hall: 48-30-1
Cal Poly-SLO: 47-30-1
Arizona State: 48-31-3
Northern Illinois: 44-29
A number of other schools have higher winning percentages, but the sample size for that group is too small when looking at an entire season from the perspective of college basketball betting.
Looking at the above list requires breaking down certain categories in which each school has thrived in keeping the total below the listed number. Some have done well when playing as a home favorite, or simply at home, while others thrive on the road. There are still some that have has success when either giving or getting points.
Gonzaga tops the list primarily due to its performance as a favorite: at home, the team has a 26-10-2 mark in favor of the under, while putting up a 16-6 record on the road for a combined total of 42-16-2.
Other teams that have shown strong success at home for going below the number include: Cincinnati, which is 28-9 in favor of the under; and Western Illinois, which has compiled a 20-7-1 stretch during the time frame explored.
Three other teams: Seton Hall (17-7), Arizona State (15-6-2) and Northern Illinois (9-2), confine themselves to keeping the score low only when the team is a home favorite.
On the opposite end, South Florida and Cal Poly-SLO have made the under a regular happening after being tabbed as an underdog. USF leans 12-5 toward the under at home, but the mark is much more pronounced on the road, with a 25-11 record for those wagering on the under. SLO has gone under in four of six games as a home dog, but 20 of 29 when getting points on the road.
Two teams on this list are part of the same conference: Cincinnati and South Florida, which both reside in the American Athletic Conference, the new name for the former Big East Conference. The teams will meet twice in a two-week span on January 18 and February 2.
While it seems odd to root for teams NOT to score, the above teams have shown that investing in them to do just that can put money in your pocket—a concept that nobody can complain about.

Non-Conference Play
By Tom Grassi
The onset of another season of college basketball handicapping means assessing how schools have done in non-conference matchups, since virtually all the contests through the remainder of 2013 are of that variety.
Some schools use this stretch of contests to test their teams, as well as get them ready for conference play, against a number of quality opponents. In contrast, there are others that simply schedule a collection of lesser teams that will build up the confidence of its squad, while also helping to guarantee a number of wins.
The list below looks at the 11 schools that have done the best when facing a non-conference foe over the past three seasons, based on a minimum of 20 games in order to provide a solid sample size. Butler and Arizona are tied for 10th place in this group:
North Dakota State: 19-7
Appalachian State: 14-6
Washington State: 27-12
Michigan: 26-12-1
Wyoming: 23-11
Tulane: 14-7
Oregon State: 15-8-1
Georgetown: 18-10
Jacksonville State: 14-8
Butler: 26-15-2
Arizona: 26-15
Four schools have been the most consistent among this collection of teams, managing to finish above .500 against the Las Vegas betting line in each season. Those schools are North Dakota State, Washington State, Wyoming and Tulane, with North Dakota State having put together excellent back-to-back seasons against the pointspread the last two years with a 15-4 mark.
Three of the schools (Michigan, Butler and Arizona) should be watched to see if what happened during the 2011-12 campaign occurs again. That year, each of the schools were coming off a strong season versus the Las Vegas betting line, but proceeded to either finish at or below .500 in this select category. The trio would all rebound last year with strong non-conference efforts in regard to sports handicapping.
In addition, Butler's situation with a new coaching staff in place is especially reason enough to pay attention. The architect of the team's rise to consecutive appearances in the national title game, Brad Stevens, left over the summer to take the helm of the NBA's Boston Celtics.
Three other schools: Oregon State, Georgetown and Jacksonville State, are all in danger of dropping off this list with another season like last year. During the first two seasons that are featured here, all three schools covered their non-conference tilts at a better than 70 percent rate. Last season, each of the schools finished with a losing record in this area, with Georgetown's 2-6 mark bringing up the rear.
The final school in this group, Appalachian State, is looking to continue the success it's enjoyed over the past two years, when it covered the pointspread in 10 of 12 non-conference affairs.
Given that this collection of games takes up nearly half of the college basketball season, it's important to discern between conference and non-conference matchups, since the strength of some conferences can be open to question. Playing these games is often the best litmus test to answer that query.

Six coaches who have new jobs this season
By Associated Press
The coach of ''Dunk City,'' the first No. 15 seed to make it to the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament, has switched coasts.
Andy Enfield has gone from Florida Gulf Coast to Southern California, and he's not the only new coach in the Los Angeles area.
Steve Alford has taken up residence at Pauley Pavilion as UCLA's new coach after six seasons at New Mexico. Even Cal State Northridge got a coach with a known name in Reggie Theus.
Other coaches in new jobs this season include the son of the reigning NCAA championship coach, a two-time championship point guard who is still the NCAA career assists leader, and a veteran coach with a championship ring from long ago.
Here are six coaches trying to put their marks on new schools:
Steve Alford, UCLA. The Indiana native who played on a national championship team for Bobby Knight in 1987 is now part of the Hollywood scene. Alford agreed to a new 10-year deal with New Mexico last March, but days later went to UCLA instead to replace the fired Ben Howland. There has been only one championship for the Bruins since fellow Hoosier John Wooden won the last of his 10 NCAA titles in 1975. The 48-year-old Alford has a 463-235 record in 22 seasons of coaching, and led the Lobos to four of the last five Mountain West regular-season titles.
Andy Enfield, USC. Southern California athletic director Pat Haden was among many people who knew nothing about Enfield until Florida Gulf Coast, with its entertaining high-flying and high-scoring act, upset No. 2 seed Georgetown and No. 7 seed San Diego State in the NCAA tournament. But the 44-year-old Enfield was 41-28 in his two seasons at the school while the Trojans were going 20-44. Enfield was previously an assistant coach for four seasons at Florida State, another school where football so often overshadows everything else, and also an NBA assistant for Milwaukee and Boston.
Bobby Hurley, Buffalo. Hurley had 1,076 assists as Duke's point guard and was part of three consecutive NCAA Final Four appearances with Coach K in the early 1990s, including the 1991 and 1992 national titles. At age 42, Hurley gets his first shot at being a head coach, with a team coming off a 14-20 season. He worked the past three seasons on his younger brother Dan's staffs, at Rhode Island last season after two years at Wagner College. Hurley was a first-round draft pick by Sacramento and played five NBA seasons before getting into thoroughbred racing as an owner and breeder. He was also a scout for the Philadelphia 76ers.
Richard Pitino, Minnesota. The son of defending NCAA champion Louisville coach Rick Pitino, 31-year-old Richard moved to a six-year contract in the Big Ten after only one season as a head coach, going 18-14 at Florida International in the Sun Belt Conference. FIU's first winning season in 13 years came after Pitino replaced Isiah Thomas. At Minnesota, he replaces Tubby Smith, fired even after an NCAA tournament appearance last March. Before FIU, the younger Pitino spent three seasons combined at Louisville, with two years as a Florida assistant for Billy Donovan separating two short stints as an assistant for his father.
Tubby Smith, Texas Tech. Fired from Minnesota after going 46-62 in Big Ten play over six seasons, Smith is now in the Big 12 with the Red Raiders. Texas Tech returns four starters, but has won only four conference games the past two years - under Billy Gillispie and then interim coach Chris Walker last season. Smith has taken his teams to the NCAA tournament 17 times in 22 seasons with four teams (Minnesota, Kentucky, Georgia and Tulsa). But his only championship came in 1998 at the end of his first season at Kentucky. He made it to a regional final with the Wildcats in 2005, but hasn't won more than one game in an NCAA tournament in any season since.
Reggie Theus, Cal State Northridge. Unlike new coaches at nearby UCLA and USC, two-time NBA All-Star and 56-year-old Theus was born and played his high school ball in the Los Angeles area. Theus is back where he wanted to be - in college coaching. He was 41-23 during two seasons with New Mexico State (2005-07) with an NCAA tournament appearance, parlaying that into a job as head coach of the Sacramento Kings. His NBA gig lasted only 18 months. As a player at UNLV, Theus helped lead the Runnin' Rebels to their first NCAA Final Four appearance in 1977. Northridge is coming off a 14-17 season.

Please mail me any you can think of.
Requirements: must be a language that is in use at more than one

Must not be a small variant of another language.
eg. Algol60 and Algol68 are 2 distinct languages
but Algol68C is a variant of Algol68
Must be a "full" language capable of general computing tasks and
not (say) a DB query language or a report generator.
(ok I know these are all matters of judgement!)
Please include a reference to a defining paper, report or book if possible.

The first problem is LinuxThreads. The RedHat distribution uses an old

Time: Obama appealed to low-information voters by losing first debate to Romney. "The Obama campaign discovered that these people who say they're not interested in politics who do not like the Republicans who do not like the Democrats, who do not like Washington, you know what they do like? They like Barack Obama because they sense something about him that he's not really a part of it. So even that first debate, which we all thought was a debacle, a lot of those people thought 'Well, I liked that because he's not playing that game. He's not playing gotcha. He's not saying nasty things.'" The Gilligans of the world elected one of their own. Yikes.

Makes sense that the two Corporate Greed controlled main candidates would appeal to low information voters since those who are well informed supported Ron Paul.

I've read Paul's "Revolution" book and it just strikes me as garden variety libertarianism – IOWs, he saves his greatest animus for the government. "Corporate greed" is a by product of government being able to keep the big company's front feet in the feeding trough through regulation, contracts and back scratching which in turn keeps the pols in power.
So what is it that you'd like to do? Break up the big corporations to implement a real free market? To get government control of the market reduced so that dinosaur companies like GE and Comcast can be taken out by smaller more efficient competitors or what?

Those are all good ideas. Bottom line is to take away the government red tape that hinders new businesses from starting up. Globalization is another problem. Exporting all jobs creates no hope for people in this country to find stable employment. Maybe fewer taxes on businesses of all sizes would encourage employers to keep jobs here. It's not just with exporting internationally, we need to encourage businesses to stay local or at least regional.

" It's not just with exporting internationally, we need to encourage businesses to stay local or at least regional.
"We" . . . well that is a loaded word for you to use. Since you don't contribute to anything you can't be counted in the group of taxpayer or consumer. So I guess by "we" you mean the government. In which case you are again completely wrong and in variance with the Austrian perspective and that of your hero Ron Paul. We don't need to do anything when it comes to encouraging employers. We need to get out of their way and let the market driven by the consumers take care of the rest. We've all had enough of your corporatism John . . . so don't speak for "we" until you're contributing something to the system other than demands upon it.

An employer should be free to base his business wherever he likes, but it WOULD be nice if over-taxation and over-regulation didn't drive employers overseas.
That's one of the few things that worked in my favor in my career as a heavy equipment operator. It's terribly difficult to build an airport overseas and ship it over here.

Bingo. Now, a bridge? They might be able to ship in some components, but it still has to be assembled on-site. So I at least felt safe from overseas competition.
Of course, in the non-union construction world, there was a lot of LABOR imported, but most of what I did was government contract, and the compliance inspectors kept illegal workers to a minimum.

Welfare should disqualify you from being able to vote. Of course today, you cannot even be expected to have an ID to prove who the hell you are when you go to the polls. Buit like I said before, I went to a college hockey game the Saturday before the election, & watched dozens of people go to Will Call, & they provided ID to prove who they said they were before getting their tickets.

IRS Audits - Part 4 Examining Process
[ Home ] [ Services ] [ FAQ ] [ Site Map ] [ Contact Us ]
This section provides the guidelines on employment tax refunds or abatement claims.
Centralized classification of all employment tax claims and amended returns is conducted at Campuses.
In accord with Policy Statement P–4–103, after employment taxes have been assessed as a result of an examination action, the taxpayer will generally be required to pay the assessment and file a claim for refund before receiving any further consideration of the case. (See IRM 22.214.171.124, Appeals to Tax Court.) However, a claim for abatement of such an assessment will be considered on its merits if:
A jeopardy assessment is involved. Under Policy Statement P–4–88, a claim for abatement of a jeopardy assessment will be fully considered on an expedited basis. Final action on such an abatement claim must have the personal approval of the Area Director.
The taxpayer establishes a meritorious reason for considering the claim, such as failure to receive a preliminary (30-day) letter.
Taxpayers whose claims for abatement are not considered by Examination will receive a "no consideration" letter, Letter 924 (DO).
When it is determined that a claim for abatement should be considered on its merits, the taxpayer will be afforded consideration by the Appeals Office.
See IRM 220.127.116.11.2 regarding employers' requests under IRC section 3402(d) for relief from payment of income tax withholding. These requests constitute abatement claims and are usually handled at Campuses as adjustments. However, examiners do have the discretion to accept the Forms 4669/4670 before the examination is closed to reduce or abate the appropriate portion of the assessment.
If a protective claim Form 843 is received, and was filed by an employee to protect his claim for overpayment of SECA due to a reclassification issue, the form should be returned to the taxpayer with the instructions to file a Form 1040X.
The examiner should not get involved in securing the original Forms 1040 for association.
No consideration will be given to a claim for refund of employment tax which:
was not timely filed;
is based solely on alleged unconstitutionality of Revenue Acts;
is based on a return stamped "Waiver of refund," or there is other evidence in the case file indicating that a refund was waived as a consideration in a settlement by the Department of Justice, the Chief Counsel's Office, etc;
relates to a return closed on the basis of a final court order, unless a refund may nevertheless be allowed under specific provisions of the Code;
covers a taxable period in which the tax liability or specific issues were the subject of a final closing agreement under IRC section 7121, or in which the tax liability was compromised under IRC section 7122;
is the subject of a request for withdrawal by the claimant;
is based solely on an issue considered in previously examined returns of the claimant who requests in writing the immediate issuance of a statutory notice of claim disallowance;
raises issues that were allowed in the previous closing of the case; or
purports to be a claim for refund but actually is a request for reconsideration of a claim previously disallowed.
If a claim for refund is within types (1)(a) through (e) above, Letter 905(DO) or Letter 906(DO) or Letter 916 (C/DO) (with applicable box checked) will be issued to the taxpayer advising that no consideration can be given to the claim. There are certain exceptions to those claims described in (1)(e), based on statutory exceptions to finality of closing agreements, and claims based on issues not included in prior specific matter closing agreements.
If a claim is within types (1)(f) and (g) above, a certified notice of claim disallowance will be issued and no other action needs to be taken.
If a claim is identified as type (1)(h) above and was filed solely as a protective claim on invitation of the Service, it will be associated with the case file without further audit action. A no-consideration letter will not be issued to the claimant, but a memorandum for the file will be attached to the claim explaining why no action was taken. A type (1)(h) claim filed under any other circumstances requires issuance of Letter 916 (C/DO). A copy will be placed in the case file as a record of the action taken.
Claims involving years previously closed by Appeals Office will be handled as provided in IRM 188.8.131.52.
Claims for refund of employment taxes may be "Surveyed After Assignment" if the examiner concludes after a review of the case file that the claim is clearly allowable in full and that the case does not otherwise warrant examination. Consideration should be given to the circumstances of selection and assignment (whether the case was selected and assigned only because of the filing of the claim) in determining whether it should be surveyed. Claims allowed in full on survey, after review and approval of the "Survey After Assignment" report, will be transmitted to a Campus for allowance of the overassessment.
In a survey after assignment of a claim, a survey report need not be prepared if the facts are such that it is clearly unnecessary for the examiner to record reasons for recommending the allowance of the claimed overassessment. In such cases, Form 5344,Examination Closing Record (or Form 5599, EO Examined Closing Record, for TE/GE), will serve as the administrative file record of the action taken.
Claims allowed in full on survey, after review and approval of Form 2503, Survey After Assignment — Excise or Employment Tax, will be processed and closed in the same manner as no-changed or agreed cases.
The general procedures for examining returns, issuing preliminary letters, and referring cases to Appeals apply in disposing of employment tax refund claims requiring examination. Exhibit 4.23.13–1 gives general guidance for closing employment tax claims .
Begin examination or other action on claims for refund within 30 days after receipt. If the taxpayer is in balance due status, the revenue officer or Automated Collections Service (ACS) should be advised of the claim process and that a TC470 CC90 should be input. The assigned officer will be advised of the resolution of the case.
If a claim is received on a case already under examination, it should be considered during such examination. If the claim pertains to an active case forwarded to Appeals, it should be referred to that Office for consideration in the disposition of the case. See IRM 22.214.171.124 for claims on cases previously closed by Appeals.
When a claim is examined, the examiner should consider other potential issues.
If an examiner determines that a claim should be disallowed in full and no adjustments to the tax liability are necessary, Form 3363 (Acceptance of Proposed Disallowance of Claim for Refund or Credit) will be solicited. However, if the claim is disallowed in full and adjustments to the tax liability are also proposed, agreement should be solicited on Form 2504 (Agreement to Assessment and Collection of Additional Tax and Acceptance of Overassessment—Excise or Employment Tax).
Form 2297 (Waiver of Statutory Notification of Claim Disallowance) will be solicited from a taxpayer in a partial or full claim disallowance case when a signed agreement is secured at the conclusion of the examination. Also, if at any time prior to the issuance of a statutory notice of claim disallowance, the taxpayer volunteers to file the waiver, the taxpayer will be permitted to do so.
If an agreement is not secured when a claim for refund is proposed for disallowance in whole or in part, or if the taxpayer signs an agreement but refuses to execute Form 2297, a certified notice of disallowance is issued after all other administrative action has been concluded. When a certified notice of disallowance is to be issued, the Campus will be notified by use of Form 3198 (Special Handling Notice) or Form 9231(Collection - Employment Tax Examination Handling/Routing Instructions). If claims for more than one period, or more than one claim for a single period, are involved, specific information for each claim should be furnished.
If a claim on a case previously closed by an Appeals Office clearly falls within the circumstances described in IRM 184.108.40.206(1)(a) through (f), the claim will be processed as provided in IRM 188.8.131.52(2) through (5). All other claims on cases previously closed by Appeals will be processed as provided in (2) and (3) below. If there is a question as to the action to be taken, the Appeals Office which previously considered the case should be consulted.
If the Appeals closing involved a Form 2504 agreement, and the claim does not relate to a matter involved in the Appeals closing, the claim may be processed as though Appeals had not previously acted on the case. If the claim relates to a matter previously considered by Appeals, the claim may be processed to a conclusion, subject to Appeals concurrence in any modification of any item previously considered by Appeals.
If the prior Appeals closing involved a Form 2504–AD (Excise or Employment Tax—Offer of Agreement to Assessment and Collection of Additional Tax and Offer of Acceptance of Overassessment) agreement, the claim and case file will generally be forwarded to Appeals without action. However, if the claim concerns only a matter outside the agreement, the claim may be processed to a conclusion without reference to Appeals. Claims involving returns on which additional tax may result will not be sent to Appeals if less than 120 days remain on the statute.
Technical advice may be requested from the Headquarters Office on issues in claim cases in which the examination may process to a conclusion without reference to Appeals, as described in (2) and (3) above. Appeals concurrence is required to request technical advice on issues which may be modified only with Appeals concurrence, as described in (2) above. Examination will not request technical advice on claim cases that are required to be forwarded to Appeals for action, as described in (3) above.
A claim that has been disallowed in whole or in part will be reconsidered upon submission of additional facts by the claimant, provided such facts are received prior to the expiration of the statute of limitations for bringing suit. If the additional facts submitted warrant reopening of the claim, the claim will be reopened and appropriate adjustments will be made.
The disposition of a request for reconsideration of a disallowed claim will generally require one of the following types of action:
Denial of the request for reconsideration.
Allowance of the issue in whole or in part, which would require the issuance of an allowance document.
Entering into an agreement to suspend the running of the statutory period of limitations under IRC section 6532(a)(2).
There is no provision in the Internal Revenue Code or regulations requiring the issuance of a certified notice of denial or disallowance of a claimant's request for reconsideration of a claim for refund that has previously been disallowed by a certified notice. Therefore, requests for reconsideration of disallowed claims made on Form 843, or made otherwise, such as in a letter, brief or affidavit, will not be treated by area directors as original claims. Examiners' reports on requests for reconsideration of disallowed claims must not contain any language from which the claimant may infer that a certified notice of the denial or disallowance will be issued.
The taxpayer will be notified on Letter 917 (DO) (with applicable box checked) that no action can be taken on the request for reconsidering the claim if:
such request was filed after expiration of the statutory period for instituting suit; or
less than 60 days of the statutory period remain in which to institute suit.
When Letter 917 (DO) is issued, a copy will be placed in the case file.
If the request for reconsideration concerns a claim previously considered and disallowed in whole or in part by Appeals, the claim will be associated with the case file and forwarded promptly, without action thereon, to Appeals.
If it is determined that a request for reconsideration of a disallowed claim should be disallowed in whole or in part, the claimant will have the same right of appeal within the Service as he/she had on the disallowed claim. However, if the period of limitation for instituting suit on the disallowed claim will expire in less than 4 months, the case will not be referred to Appeals unless that office agrees to accept jurisdiction. The right of appeal will not be available to claimants whose requests for reconsideration are denied under (4) above.
If a request for reconsideration is based on a claim that was the subject of a no-consideration letter under one of the contentions in types (a) through (i) of section 13.4:(1), Letter 917(DO) (with applicable box checked) should be issued to the claimant denying the request and referring to the previous no-consideration letter. In this case, the claimant will not have the right of appeal referred to in (7) above.
If disposition of a request for reconsideration of a disallowed claim is contingent on a pending court decision, the taxpayer should be given the opportunity of submitting, in duplicate, a properly executed Form 907 (Agreement to Extend the Time to Bring Suit). Form 907 agreements under IRC section 6532(a)(2) may be entered into if there are satisfactory reasons for extending the period for filing suit. Examples of satisfactory reasons are:
the Service had under consideration a change in position requiring the suspension of action in all similar cases;
the conclusion on the merits of the request is contingent on the findings of one or more pending court cases.
In the interests of good public relations, area offices should take the initiative in inviting agreements on Form 907 when such action will prevent possible inequities to taxpayers. Form 907 may be signed by the Area Director. After the agreement is signed and the duplicate copy is sent to the taxpayer, the case will be sent to closed files awaiting further request by the taxpayer for reconsideration of the disallowed claim.
Except for IRC section 7406 cases, statutory notices of deficiency are not issued and the United States Tax Court does not have jurisdiction over employment tax cases. (See IRC section 7442.)
The taxpayer may litigate other types of employment tax case in either the United States District Court or the United States Court of Federal Claims. Before taxpayers can initiate suit in either of these courts, they will have to pay, at a minimum, the employment tax assessment attributable to one employee for any one quarter, file a claim for refund of the tax and then have the claim for refund denied by the Service.
A taxpayer is entitled to file a refund suit 6 months after the filing of the refund claim, if no action is taken by the Service, or within two years after the statutory notice of disallowance of the refund claim. After such a suit is filed, Chief Counsel's office requests the administrative file from the Campus.
When the examiner or group manager is notified that a taxpayer has filed suit for recovery of taxes paid in a case involving an open claim for refund of employment tax, the case file will be expeditiously sent to the Campus. A Form 3198 or Form 9231 will be attached to the file instructing the Campus to issue a statutory notice of claim disallowance before sending the case file to Area Counsel and/or the Chief Counsel's Office.
IRC section 7623 provides for the payment of rewards for information that leads to the "detection and punishment of persons guilty of violating internal revenue laws, or conniving at the same." Section 301.7623–1 of the regulations provides that informants may file a claim for reward on Form 211, Application for Reward for Original Information.
Under no circumstances is any person authorized to make any offer or promise, or otherwise to bind an area or service/compliance center director with respect to the payment of any reward or the amount thereof. An Internal Revenue Service employee will never indicate to the informant in any manner the amount of the probable tax recovery, or whether such recovery is based upon the information submitted by him/her. If inquiry is made as to the amount which may be received, the inquirer should be furnished with a copy of IRC section 7623 and Reg. section 301.7623–1. (See Delegation Order Number 204, Rewards for Informant Information, for those authorized to approve rewards.)
Cases where a claim for reward has been filed should be afforded confidential treatment. In any instance where the identity of an informant is indicated, the case file and all communication should be handled in a manner that will ensure complete protection of the informant's identity. The informant's identity should not be entered in the history sheet or anywhere in the case file.
Administrative control of Informants' claims is the responsibility of the Informants' Claim Examiner located in the Compliance Division of each Campus. See IRM 25.2, Informants' Communications and Reward Claims, for detailed instructions on Informants' Claims.
It is the responsibility of the examiner assigned to the case to determine the merits of any claim for reward. Upon completion of an audit for which a claim for reward is made, an evaluation report will be submitted. Form 11369, Confidential Evaluation Report on Claim for Reward, or similar form should be used for this purpose. See IRM 126.96.36.199, Evaluation Report on Claims for Reward, for detailed instructions.
The Form 11369 will be submitted with the following information:
Informant's name, address, and TIN.
Name, address, and TIN of taxpayer alleged to be in violation of the tax laws.
Period(s) and type(s) of tax referred by the informant, those subsequently examined and whether any of the years involved had been examined previously and the outcome of the prior audit.
Informant's former/present relationship with the taxpayer.

Zoe Heriot (sometimes spelled Zoe Herriot), or simply Zoe, is a fictional character played by Wendy Padbury in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. A young astrophysicist who lived on a space wheel in the 21st century, she was a companion of the Second Doctor and a regular in the programme from 1968 to 1969.[1][2]
Character history[edit]
Zoe first appears in the serial The Wheel in Space, where she is the librarian on board Space Station W3, also known as the Wheel. When the Cybermen attack, she aids the Doctor and Jamie in defeating them before stowing away aboard the TARDIS. In David Whitaker's script for The Wheel in Space, Zoe's last name is spelled "Heriot", but the double-"r" misspelling is also seen in reference works.
Zoe's age is not given in the series, but according to initial publicity she was fifteen when she joined the TARDIS crew.[3] She holds a degree in pure mathematics and is a genius, with intelligence scores comparable to the Doctor's. Coupled with her photographic memory and the advanced learning techniques of her era, this makes her somewhat like a human calculator, able to perform complicated mathematics in her head. Part of the reason for her wanting to travel with the Doctor is her chafing at the restrictions and sterile surroundings of her station-bound existence. However, her real-world experience is severely limited, causing her to get herself into trouble frequently.
Together with the Doctor and Jamie, she meets the Cybermen again when they invade 20th century London, enters the surreal Land of Fiction, fights the Ice Warriors and survives the battlefields of the War Chief's war games. Her journeys with the Doctor come to an end in that serial, when the Time Lords finally catch up with the Doctor. As well as forcing a regeneration on him and exiling him to Earth, the Time Lords return Jamie and Zoe to their own times, wiping their memories of their experiences with the Doctor (save for their first encounters with him) in the process.
Other appearances[edit]
Zoe's life after her return to her own time is not further explored in the series. In the spin-off short story "The Tip of the Mind" by Peter Anghelides, it is revealed that although her intellect allows her to resist the memory blocks by the Time Lords, she is unable to access the memories of her time with the Doctor consciously. This causes her strange dreams, and makes her work suffer. An encounter with the Third Doctor makes the memory blocks permanent, but she ultimately never reaches her full potential.
Padbury has appeared in Doctor Who audio adventures from Big Finish Productions, first as a character other than Zoe in the full-cast audio Davros, and then as Zoe in Fear of the Daleks, part of the "Companion Chronicles" talking book series. The latter story portrays an older Zoe having detailed dreams of her adventures with the Doctor; she suspects that something is blocking her memory, but she does not know what, and is seeing a psychiatric counselor in an effort to understand the "dreams". She has returned as Zoe in several more Big Finish plays such as Echoes of Grey, her second Companion Chronicle and unmade TV story, Prison in Space. An older Zoe is reunited with the Doctor, in his sixth incarnation, in Legend of the Cybermen, where her life after leaving the Doctor is explored.
The novelisation of The Mind Robber mentions, in passing, that Zoe discussed that adventure "long afterwards",[4] suggesting that she eventually recovered some or all of her lost memories.
Wendy Padbury returned to Doctor Who as an illusory image of Zoe in the 20th anniversary episode, The Five Doctors.

Set among the sugar plantations of Jamaica and the balls and masquerades of Georgian London the story is told by the Lee family in their own words.
In 1749 thirteen year-old Robert Cooper Lee sailed to Jamaica taking a parcel of ribbons for sale. When his family was left all but penniless, Robert and his brothers forged new lives in Jamaica, fathered children with women who were the descendants of slaves and supported their sister left behind in England.
Robert returned to London with his family in 1771. A prominent attorney, respected throughout Jamaica and among the West Indian lobby in London, he had built a fortune that enabled his children to mix with royalty.
This remarkable collection of letters tells a story of triumph against adversity, of a family that suffered sickness, bankruptcy, sudden death, a clandestine marriage and an elopement. Through it all the bonds of family endured.

Eight Songs to Feed Your Heart.
"If music be the food of love, play on…"
~ Shakespeare, Twelfth Night
Drugs are lame. Television sucks. Sex, well…that's another discussion for a different day. But music…ahhh…music. When winter's feeling long–inside and out–here are a few songs your heart might need to hear.
When you're all out of love, skip Air Supply. Go with Bon Iver.
(or the equally awesome Ingrid Michaelson covering Bon Iver.)
Brooding on a rainy January afternoon? Carla Bruni sil vous plait:
Or for brooding plus a little sweat and testosterone: Mumford & Sons.
Or maybe you're done brooding and you need to get the eff up and dance!
Maybe you're nursing a crush (fascinating eyes included!)
Or nursing a broken heart.
But whatever state your beautiful heart is in tonight: Kites.
Dig in–feed your hungry heart!
Loved it? Leave a tip!

[…] Adele. And then, I shook it off a little. No more sulking and sighing. Time for a new song (or two, or eight.) As great as they are, I thought I was done with the 108 bazillion covers of Rolling in the Deep […]
[…] The combination of music and love though, now that is a stellar duo. I can confidently say that each one of us has that one song, or maybe more, that transports them back in time to first kisses, sixth grade dances, mom and dad dancing in the living room and your first ever "I will love you forever" type crush. […]
Wonderful list, the Color of your eyes song is going to be a favorite for a long time

Makes 40 pieces
My mother, Beverly Weiner, is famous for her mundel bread (also known as mandelbrot). Some recipes call for baking the cookies in logs, then slicing and baking them again, something like biscotti. My mother's version is spread on a baking sheet, dusted with cinnamon-sugar, and baked only once. She cuts logs and then bars, which are cakey, similar in texture to coffeecake.
Butter (for the sheet) | |
3 1/2 | cups flour |
2 | teaspoons baking powder |
1 | teaspoons salt |
1 | cup sugar |
1 | cup each golden and dark raisins |
1 | cup chopped walnuts |
1 | package (6 ounces) butterscotch chips |
3 | eggs |
1/2 | cup orange juice, or more if needed |
1/2 | cup canola oil |
1 | teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 | teaspoon cinnamon mixed with 2 tablespoons sugar (for sprinkling) |
1. Set the oven at 350 degrees. Butter a rimmed baking sheet (11-by-16-inches).
2. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, raisins, walnuts, and chips. Stir well.
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs, 1/2 cup orange juice, oil, and vanilla. With a wooden spoon stir the liquid ingredients into the flour mixture until thoroughly blended. If the mixture does not come together, add more orange juice, 1 tablespoon at a time.
4. Scrape the batter into mounds on the baking sheet. With moist hands, spread the batter so it covers almost the entire sheet (you'll have a gap at one short end that's about 2-inches wide). Sprinkle the batter with cinnamon-sugar.
5. Bake the mundel bread for 30 minutes or until the center is firm to the touch and the edges are beginning to brown.
6. Leave the bars to cool for 10 minutes.
7. Make 3 vertical cuts to form 4 logs. Cut each one into 10 bars. Leave to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

I ain't gonna eat, I ain't gonna sleep
Ain't gonna breathe, til I see, what I wanna see
And what I wanna see, is you go to sleep, in the dirt
Permanently, you just being hurt, this ain't gonna work
For me, it just wouldn't be, sufficient enough
Cuz we, are just gonna be, enemies
As long as we breathe, I don't ever see, either of us
Coming to terms, where we can agree
There ain't gonna be, no reason, speakin wit me
You speak on my seed, then me, no speakin Englais
So we gonna beef, and keep on beefin, unless
You're gonna agree, to meet with me in the flesh
And settle this face to face, and you're gonna see
A demon unleashed in me, that you've never seen
And you're gonna see, this gangsta pee on himself
I see you D-12, and thanks, but me need no help
Me do this one all by my lonely, I don't need fifteen of my homies
When I see you, I'm seeing you, me and you only
We never met, but best believe you gon' know me
When I'm this close, to see you exposed as phony
Come on, bitch, show me, pick me up, throw me
Lift me up, hold me, just like you told me
You was gonna do, that's what I thought, you're pitiful
I'm rid of you, all you, Ja, you'll get it too!
Now go to sleep bitch!
Die, mother****er, die! Ugh, time's up, bitch, close ya eyes
Go to sleep, bitch! (what?)
Why are you still alive? How many times I gotta say, close ya eyes?
And go to sleep bitch! (what?)
Die mother****er die, bye, bye, mother****er, bye, bye!
Go to sleep bitch! (what?)
Why are you still alive? Why, die mother****er, ah, ah, ah...
...Go to sleep bitch!

Man sentenced to 8 years for part in stabbing
Serial shooter Muehlberger aided attack on 2 people
A man pleaded guilty in 89th District Court Thursday to two counts of aggravated assault in which serial shooter Ross Muehlberger was an accomplice.
Joseph Allen Blake Jones, 22, address listed in the 700 block of Bauchman Road, was sentenced to eight years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice with 949 days credit for the Oct. 19, 2009, incident. He also was ordered to pay $13,314 in restitution.
According to the affidavit:
Three people went to a park in the 5000 block of Fairway about 11:20 p.m. to meet another person when two of the victims were attacked by Muehlberger and Jones.
Two of the men were beaten and stabbed repeatedly, then Muehlberger and Jones fled in a gold Ford Taurus. The victims had to be rushed to the United Regional Emergency Room and treated for severe wounds.
Through a Crime Stoppers tip the Wichita Falls Police Department were able to identify Jones and Muehlberger as the assailants. They were then positively identified in photo lineups by several people.
Muehlberger's Taurus was located, impounded and photographed and positively identified as the vehicle seen fleeing the scene.
Investigators determined enough probable cause existed to convict Muehlberger and Jones of the stabbings because they intentionally used a knife to inflict serious bodily injury to another individual.
The crime, a second degree felony, is punishable by two to 20 years in prison and can carry a fine as much as $10,000.
Muehlberger was the suspect in a shooting rampage April 20, 2010, that occurred at Hastings Store and Toby's Bar. Several people were wounded at Hastings and a club employee was killed at Toby's. Muehlberger died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound when police tracked him to a house in the Brook Village neighborhood.

And i was thinking that its like someone cut themselves and used the lemon to make it worse. Maybe im just really morbid...
I guess life was handing me lemons at the time, figuratively speaking, and I thought about the whole phrase "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade!" And I was in a pessimistic mood, and thought to myself "What if I don't wanna make lemonade? What other options do I have?"
I guess that sparked the thought for the mutilation and bleeding of the lemon, or the problem that's getting you down... then the rest of it came together, with the thought of when you face you... (more »)

I am working on a scarf for my sister in law, based on the thistle lace stitch kindly sent to me by scottly. I found the same basic stitch in the Sweet Scarf on Ravelry, so the scarf I'm doing is a slight modification of that (addition of moss stitch border). I have been told that Pam likes purple, and I think this color is perfect for the name.
It is one of four projects, so I have not gotten far yet. Events in the household have reduced my knitting time. It is also a tight and unforgiving stitch, so I'm leapfrogging my lifelines ever set of stitches, which is four rows.
The yarn is Noro's Shirakaba, in color six. (Apparently Noro yarns have a number, not a color, and the dye lot is a letter.) It is being knitted on size 8 Kollage square needles, which means it is probably closer to a size 7. I am planning on doing the two halves with 1.5 or 2 balls each and joining them.
And from what I found on Monash, 白樺 (しらかば) shirakaba is the Japanese white birch.

That's a nice combination of color and pattern.
That's a great looking scarf! I've never used that Noro yarn before, but I love the color.
This is beautiful! My favorite color as too

Mobile Communications Equipment Market Set for Double Digit Growth This Year
Published on: 28th Nov 2012
Note -- this news article is more than a year old.
Despite soft macroeconomic conditions the market for mobile communications equipment will grow by a robust 13 percent this year propelled by climbing shipments of mobile handsets and tablets particularly devices supporting LTE based 4G wireless standards.
Total factory revenue from original equipment manufacturers making mobile communications equipment is projected to reach $376 billion by year-end, up from $334 billion in 2011, according to IHS iSuppli. Next year, overall revenue for mobile communications equipment is forecast to rise to $444 million,.
Driven by mobile broadband, the five-year compound annual growth rate until 2016 will amount to 11 percent.
IHS defines mobile communications equipment factory revenue as what manufacturers earn from the sale of devices into the channel-in this case, mobile communications equipment like smartphones and other handsets. The category also includes wireless infrastructure gear such as routers.
"The wireless equipment market is continuing to grow this year despite facing daunting economic headwinds, including the slowdown in China and the turmoil engulfing the euro zone," said Francis Sideco, senior principal analyst for wireless communications at IHS. "To be sure, growth this year will be lower than the much more sizable expansion of 29 percent in 2011. However, the market's double-digit rise in 2012 is a testament to the ongoing appeal of cellphones and tablets to global consumers. The increasing deployment of LTE is also a considerable factor, which will continue to spur the market."
Smartphones Spur Greater Chip Content
In particular, the increasing proportion of handsets being sold as smartphones affects semiconductor content positively. When compared with previous handset designs, for instance, smartphones carry increased costs for application processors, memory bits and sensors, favorably impacting the semiconductor suppliers providing those components. Moreover, smartphone support for the next-generation LTE wireless standard also drives semiconductor content, because more capable digital basebands, RF transceivers and power amplifiers are required.
As a result, the semiconductor market for mobile communications is set to generate $74 billion at the close of 2012, up 5 percent from $71 billion in 2011. While wireless semiconductor revenue has been revised down slightly from earlier estimates due to the underperforming global economy, the wireless segment as a whole remains one of the few areas in the worldwide electronics value chain expected to keep growing.
LTE Comes of Age
Among carriers, spending on wireless infrastructure gear is increasingly being focused on LTE. Expenditures on 4G LTE will exceed $8 billion this year, more than double the $4 billion spent in 2011.
And starting next year, LTE will dominate the global wireless infrastructure market over 3.5/3.75G-related investments. Moving forward, the most successful manufacturers of mobile communications equipment will be those that allow wireless carriers to cost-effectively upgrade their base stations to 4G LTE-an important competitive edge in a tightening market.
Ecosystem relationships and expanded visibility will also continue to be keys to success. High-profile mergers and acquisitions-exemplified by the likes of Qualcomm and Atheros, Broadcom and Beceem, and MediaTek and Ralink-have become important, and the Nokia-Microsoft partnership on smartphones is also notable.
"Such strategic realignments will set the stage for growth among individual entities involved in either a merger or partnership for the next three or four years," Sideco said. "And when history is reviewed in the future, 2012 will be seen as the year when such coalitions started bearing fruit."

Elitch Gardens' Tube Top water slide resembles Sandworm from Beetlejuice
Tube Top, the newest attraction at Elitch Gardens Water Park. |
Though you can never truly count on the weather in Colorado, it's been consistently warm out there for a while and the forecast calls for it to stay that way. Fortunately, the water park at Elitch Gardens will open May 26, just in time for Memorial Day fun. Here's a look at the latest addition to the park: "Tube Top," a four-story water slide.
"Riders enter Tube Top and drop into a completely enclosed tube slide," says Debbie Evans, a spokeswoman for the park. "It twists, it turns and then there's a vortex turn where riders slide back and forth. They're almost entirely in the dark because it is a totally enclosed slide, and then they shoot out the bottom of the slide through a waterfall back in to the bright sunshine."
This newest attraction, which uses 14,000 gallons of water, can only be enjoyed by those four feet or taller, but there's plenty to do for those who may be more vertically challenged: The water park also features a lazy river, wave pool and Splashdown, a 75-foot long twisting raft ride, all of which can be enjoyed by those under 48 inches. "Denver is the only city in the country that has both a theme park and a water park right downtown," says Evans. "So it's a one-of-a-kind attraction only in Denver." And here's that Beetlejuice clip:
Tickets to both parks are $43.99 for adults 48 inches and taller and $29.99 for those shorter than 48 inches, and seniors aged 62 and older. Tickets can be bought online or at the park. Elitch Gardens will be open seven days a week through September 3. Follow us on Twitter! Like us on Facebook!
