Certification primer, Part 2
by Anne Millman | December 20, 2012 New York Teacher issue
Miller Photography
Our previous article in the Nov. 22 issue explained the requirements and deadlines for the most common types of state certification — the initial and professional certificates. But what if you hold a different certificate?
Today, many new teachers work under various alternative certificates. The New York State Education Department issues these temporarily to candidates who fill specific educational/recruitment needs but don't meet all the qualifications for an initial certificate.
Here are some examples with the steps to take to go beyond "temporary":
Transitional certificate
This temporary certificate goes to candidates in specific technical or vocational fields who have related work experience, but not all the requirements for an initial certificate. You have three years from the issue date to complete the requirements for a career and technical education initial certificate.
Transitional B certificate
This temporary certificate is issued to Teaching Fellows and others enrolled in a recognized alternative teacher certification program. The college in which you are enrolled for your master's degree had to recommend you to the State Education Department for this certificate. It is very important that the title of your Transitional B certificate matches: 1. the master's program in which you are enrolled; and 2. the teaching position for which you were hired.
You have three years from the issue date to complete your master's degree and any tests or other requirements for the initial or professional certificate. When you have done so, your college should recommend you for the appropriate certificate.
Internship certificate
This temporary certificate goes only to students enrolled in an approved graduate teacher education program who have completed half of the program's credit hours and only if the college requested this certificate for you. You have two years from the issue date to complete your course and test requirements for the initial certificate; also, your college must recommend you for the initial certificate. You cannot renew or extend your internship certificate.
Conditional initial certificate
If you hold a teaching certificate in the same or equivalent title from another state, the State Education Department may grant you a conditional initial certificate, even if you do not meet all New York State requirements. You have two years from the issue date to meet the following requirements:
- Pass the LAST, ATS-W and CST certification exams (the UFT Course Program offers coaching sessions for the LAST and ATS-W exams);
- Complete the Child Abuse Recognition Workshop (available at low cost through the UFT);
- Complete the Violence Prevention Training Workshop (offered at low cost through the UFT School Safety Department).
In addition, within five years of the issue date of your conditional initial certificate, you must complete all requirements for the professional certificate.
Time-extended certificate
Rarely, the State Education Department issues this temporary certificate to give a candidate with a provisional or initial certificate some extra time to complete all requirements for professional certification. If you hold an extended certificate, be sure to fulfill your remaining requirements within the time limits specified in the extension.
Getting a professional certificate
Once you have an initial certificate, you have five years from the issue date to complete all requirements for a professional certificate. For details on those requirements, see the Nov. 22 issue or go to www.highered.nysed.gov/tcert.
For more specific information, contact TeacherLine at 1-212-253-8800 or firstname.lastname@example.com, speak to an educational liaison in your UFT borough office, or call 1-212-420-1830 for an appointment with the UFT Certification Services Department.

I currently own a S+W 9mm M+P compact, and I'm looking for a new fun gun for the range and home defense. After hitting the range a few times, being stuck with limited magazines in a home defense situation just seems crazy. Can anyone recommend some guns I should take a look at are especially fun to take to a range?

If you likey 9mm, Centerfire had some H&K USP 9mm under $500 I also got a New Taurus Judge for way under $400...
CZ75b...............nuff said. Unless you want to spend a couple hundo more, then get a hi-power.
I know! You wouldn't want to be caught without 17+1 and 10 extra mags arrayed across the nightstand. Usually the bad guys in my neighborhood come in packs. Jokes aside, since you said defense AND a plinker, 9mm seems like the best bet. So Hi-Power is the only way to go (well, there are thousands of other ways, but you asked...). It is a double-stack in cold hard steel. Sounds like a match made in heaven.
You already have a 9mm semi-auto. You want fun for the range and an awesome home defence handgun? .357 Magnum revolver. Old school? Yes. But so fun at the range and you can also shoot cheap .38 specials instead of .357 for target shooting. Not to mention a nice stainless .357 stands out at the range amidst the sea of "me too" black polymers. Gotta love the sound of the ka-boom, and light show of flash through the barrel and cylinder, of a .357 Magnum! For home defence you can't get any simpler than a revolver. No safeties to worry about, no need to worry about FTF's, FTE's, and a smooth trigger pull. Get a 4" barrel so it's not too unwieldy but still gives you enough barrel to compensate for the .357 Magnum recoil. One drawback to most revolvers, aside from capacity limitation and weight, is that they typically don't have rails to mount lights. One of the exceptions, however, is the scary looking S&W Performance Center Model M&P R8. However since you're asking for a multitasker in a fun range toy and a competent defence handgun, and you already have a polymer semi, you might want to think about a nice revolver.
I agree that every collection needs to include a 4 inch .357 Magnum revolver. I can't think of a more versatile gun that can serve a variety of purposes...
iftrue, since you already have the M&P 9c and I assume you like it you should look at the M&P 9pro, longer barrel and lighter trigger pull than the full size 9, awesome range gun and home defense gun, I have one of each, they compliment each other nicely
i got rid of my last revolver a couple months ago it was a ruger single six in 22lr and 22winmag. i think my next handgun may be a colt python if i ever come across one at a gun show in good condition for cheap enough. its not a good home defense gun but i have a blast at the range with my sig mosquito.
[QUOTE=billdeserthills;386389]If you likey 9mm, Centerfire had some H&K USP 9mm under $500 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sounds good to me.

"You know what's funny? Laughing."
Dan O'Donnell
"Is better to be fun and funny, than to be angry and grumpy."
Philip T.M
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"You grow up the day you have your first real laugh -- at yourself."
Ethel Barrymore
"I laugh, I love, I hope, I try, I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry. And I know you do the same things too, So we're really not that different, me and you."
Colin Raye
"If you feel suddenly so anxious for laugh, then it's too late to find ha-ha in dictionary."
Toba Beta
"the only true way to prove that you have lost your inner child is if you don't laugh when you hear the word "poop"."

Thirty-two Navy and Coast Guard cadets, who sailed on board INS Sudarshini during the first phase of its six-month-long voyage to ASEAN countries that is still under way, successfully completed their 'afloat' training under the First Training Squadron of the Navy here on Thursday.
The cadets, from the 14th Naval Orientation Course, had their passing out parade reviewed by Commodore M.R. Ajay Kumar, Naval Officer in-Charge Kerala and Commanding Officer of INS Venduruthy, at the Southern Naval Command.
Meanwhile, after a cadet turnaround midway through its ASEAN Voyage, INS Sudarshini, is now setting course for Manila in Philippines with over 30 cadets from the same course.
Best cadet
In fact, Cadet K.P. Subhash Kumar, who was adjudged first in the overall order of merit and the best Coast Guard cadet in the course, is presently aboard the vessel and was unavailable to receive the trophies.
The cadets' 24-week-long training onboard vessels of the First Training Squadron — comprising Naval Ships Tir and Sujata, Coast Guard Ship Varuna, and Naval Sail Training Ships Sudarshini and Tarangini — began on June 25. During this period, they were given extensive instructions and sea experience on General Navigation, Astro-Navigation, Communications, Gunnery, and Seamanship. They also got to visit various ports on the eastern and western seaboards of India besides the ports of Chittangong (Bangladesh), Yangon (Myanmar), Phuket (Thailand), and Port Klang (Malaysia). At the passing out ceremony, the coveted Chief of the Naval Staff Trophy and Telescope for the Best All-Round Cadet was awarded to Cadet Ankush Kumar Singh. Cadet Rajesh Nayak was awarded the FOC-IN-C East Rolling Trophy for maximum progress in intellectual and professional fields during his term on board.
Cadet Rohit Choudhary was adjudged the best sportsman.
To warships
The cadets will now join frontline warships of the Western and Eastern Fleets of the Navy and the Coast Guard for further training for six months as midshipmen.
They had visited various ASEAN countries 30 cadets now off to the Philippines

Pay Now, Execute Later: Why Counties Should Be Required to Post a Bond to Seek the Death PenaltyAdam M. GershowitzWilliam & Mary Law School January 10, 2007 Abstract: When death sentences are reversed - and many of them are reversed for prosecutorial misconduct, ineffective assistance of counsel, and other reasons - local prosecutors are not forced to fully internalize the costs of their failed prosecutions. While counties make the decision to seek the death penalty, they do not have to fund the very expensive appellate and post-conviction stages of capital cases that are typically handled by state attorneys general's offices. This paper proposes that state legislatures could improve the functioning of the death-penalty system, while simultaneously acting out of financial self-interest, by requiring counties to post (and possibly forfeit) a bond to seek the death penalty. Faced with the prospect of losing a bond if the capital prosecution fails at trial or on appeal, local prosecutors would have an incentive to choose their capital cases more carefully and to avoid any type of misconduct that might lead to reversal on appeal. The prospect of forfeiting a bond also would create secondary benefits, such as encouraging prosecutors to protest the appointment of unqualified defense lawyers in order to stave off ineffective assistance of counsel claims. As a financial matter, the bond proposal should be appealing to state legislators because it would shift the exorbitant costs of failed capital prosecutions away from state budgets and into the hands of the county actors who instigated the failed prosecutions.

Under s 8 of the Uniform Commercial Arbitration Act (CAA)1 a 'court' is required to stay proceedings before it if the parties have already agreed to have their dispute referred to arbitration. Recently, the Victorian Court of Appeal in Subway Systems Australia v Ireland [2014] VSCA 142 found that, for the purposes of s 8 of the CAA, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) should be viewed as a 'court' and that any proceeding before VCAT ought to be stayed and referred to arbitration where the parties have an arbitration clause governing their disputes.
The respondents (Franchisee) were parties to a franchise agreement with the appellant, Subway Systems Australia (Subway), to own and operate a Subway store in Victoria. Under the franchise agreement, the parties agreed to a complicated arbitration clause which required disputes between the parties to be heard in Queensland.
A dispute arose between the parties and proceedings were commenced by the Franchisee in VCAT. However, Subway disputed VCAT's jurisdiction to determine the dispute. Subway argued that, as the parties had agreed to an arbitration clause, VCAT was required by s 8 of the CAA to refer the matter to arbitration.
Senior Member, Riegler, of VCAT declined to stay the proceeding and referred the dispute to arbitration pursuant to s 8 of the CAA. Subway then sought leave to appeal the decision on a question of law to the Supreme Court of Victoria.
Justice Croft's Decision
On the initial appeal, Croft J found that VCAT was not a 'court' for the purpose of s 8(1) of the CAA. Croft J undertook an examination of the CAA, its development and its origins from the UNCITRAL Model Law. However, his Honour noted that the CAA had been carefully drafted and that it included the terms 'Court' and 'court', with 'Court' referring to the Supreme Court (or, if agreed, the County Court or Magistrates' Court) and 'court' referring to courts generally. Croft J held that neither form of the term under the CAA included VCAT. His Honour also noted that this finding would not produce an absurdity given that VCAT is intended to be a forum for speedy and inexpensive resolution of disputes.
The Court of Appeal's Decision
Croft J's decision was recently overturned by 2-1 majority in the Victorian Court of Appeal. Maxwell P and Beach JA (with Kyrou AJA dissenting) concluded that VCAT was a 'court' for the purposes of s 8(1) of the CAA. Maxwell P and Beach JA saw the general purpose of the CAA as paramount, whereas, Kyrou J approached the issues in a manner similar to Croft J.
In his judgment, Maxwell P referred to the history and development of the UNCITRAL Model Law. It was noted that the legislature had expressed its intention that the interpretation of the CAA should ensure, so far as practicable, uniformity between the application of the CAA to domestic commercial arbitration and the application of the provisions of the Model Law (as enacted by the International Arbitration Act 1974 (Cth)) to international commercial arbitrations. His Honour noted that, although the word 'court' was not defined under the CAA, Article 2 of the Model Law defines 'court' to mean "a body or organ of the judicial system of a State." His Honour observed that VCAT, although not called a court and its adjudicators are not called judges, its function is judicial. Further VCAT, is invested with authority to judge causes and its decisions determine the rights and liabilities of the parties to proceedings before it. His Honour held that:
"If it is correct that Article 8 itself would apply to VCAT, then it would be strange indeed if the Parliament of Victoria had intended (when it enacted s 8 in identical language) to narrow the scope of the provision and — to that extent — defeat the clear policy of the Model Law. Certainly, on my analysis, that would have constituted a departure in substance from the Model Law, a deliberate decision by the legislature to take a narrower view of 'judicial system' than that taken by the drafters of the Model Law. Had such a change been intended, it must be assumed that (consistently with the introductory 'Note' to the Act) the departure would have been expressly adverted to in the form of a note to s 8."
Beach JA reached the same conclusion as Maxwell P. His Honour noted that, although VCAT had been found to not be a court in a number of decisions when exercising its original jurisdiction, it discharges a function resembling the exercise of judicial power by a court. His Honour noted that whether VCAT was a considered a 'court' depended on the statute but that VCAT answered the description of "a body or organ of the judicial system of Victoria". Beach JA stated that the general purpose of the CAA is:
"… to express a preference for holding parties to their bargains that in terms involve preferring arbitration of whatever kind has been agreed between the parties over State sponsored dispute resolution (no matter how cost efficient or time effective the relevant State body or arm might prove to be)."
In his dissenting judgment, Kyrou AJA argued that VCAT could not be viewed as a 'court' under common law. This was on the basis that it:
His Honour found that:
The decision continues the strong trend of courts taking the pro-arbitration approach in requiring parties to hold to their bargain in arbitration agreements. The question of whether VCAT is a 'court' has been a vexed one, and the answer to the question is often dependent on the relevant statute and the manner in which the statute is interpreted by the court. However, it is also clear that parties to an arbitration agreement will need to be mindful of this decision and should not be surprised when their dispute cannot be resolved by VCAT.

Kiwi star Keisha Castle-Hughes has reportedly landed a role in the "Game of Thrones." The Academy Award nominated actress apparently told friends that she would be playing a Sand Snake, one of the eight bastard daughters of Oberyn Martell, in the HBO fantasy series.
According to the New Zealand Herald, the 24-year-old "Whale Rider" star herself has hinted on her possible new job after she changed her Twitter name to include the name Stark, the name of one of the lead families in the show.
Her Twitter @kecahu (kemamo STARK) has since been disabled.
She has also visited Hong Kong, London and Northern Ireland, some of the locations where the show shoots scenes.
As for the part that she is rumoured to play, Keisha fits the role of Nymeria Sand, one of Oberyn's daughters who is described as beautiful, of mixed race, emotional and strong.
Nymeria is one of the three Sand Snakes who are expected to appear in the fifth season of the show. The others are Obara Sand, the eldest, and Tyene Sand, the youngest daughter who uses poison as her weapon.
Apart from the Sand Snakes, there are several characters from George R.R. Martin's books that are set to make an appearance in the fifth season.
A source told WinterIsComing.net that Prince Doran Martell, a fifty-something prince bound in a wheelchair, will be appearing in a multiple-episode arc.
Prince Trystane Martell, the fiancé of Princess Myrcella (Aimee Richardson), as well as Areo Hotal, Doran's personal bodyguard, will also reportedly be joining the television cast.
High Sparrow, Septa Unella, Maggy the Frog, Lollys Stokeworth, Yezzan and The Waif were also named by the source to appear in the next season.
Meanwhile, Keisha, who is now based in Los Angeles, flew back to New Zealand earlier in July to co-host a Kiwi variety show. She will be co-presenting "Happy Hour" with Temuera Morrison.

SUGAR SHANE MOSLEY I am excited to be here and to celebrate the Bicentennial of Mexican Independence. I want to thank my team, the Mosley Tribe. Everybody did a phenomenal job of getting me in shape and making sure I have myself in tip top condition. Naazim did a great job making sure I dont take Sergio Mora for granted. I always thank my father for my existence and getting me together as a fighter. I thank him for all of these years of preparing me, supporting me and having my back.. I have to get past Sergio Mora. I thank him for taking the fight and accepting the challenge. This guy is not someone to take lightly. He beat Vernon Forrest. I never beat the late great Vernon Forrest. He is a competitor and he comes to win. I kept myself busy while training for Sergio. I have kept my tools sharp. Sergio has added pressure because he feels that he has to prove to the world that he is somebody. I feel that I am working to prove to myself and prove to the fans that I can do this. Win, lose or draw, I am expecting fireworks Saturday night. I am going show the world that Sugar Shane Mosley is here to stay. SERGIO THE LATIN SNAKE MORA I have been with the same team since I started boxing and everyone that has been a part of my team has been tremendous. It has been a pleasure to get this great opportunity. I want to share the emotion that is going through me, and that is excitement. It is going to be hard to contain my emotions because I have to put my game face on and I am not going to be as animated. This is what makes me shine. You put the lights on, you put the pressure on. I am not afraid of the limelight. Some people say I dont have enough this, I dont have enough that. Let me tell you, I have it because I got here. It took one man to beat me and that was the late great Vernon Forrest. I know I can do it. My team knows I can do it and I will do it Saturday. Sugar Shane Mosley is someone I respect and someone I value outside of the ring. He is a legend. I am fighting another Hall of Famer. He has everything behind him. He has the experience, the power and the chin. He has never been knocked out and he is undefeated at STAPLES Center. He is the real deal. The stars are aligning for something special to happen on Saturday. It is fate, faith and destiny. People dont believe in destiny, they believe in luck. If you believe in luck, go live in Las Vegas. This is my time, and I am finally with a promoter that believes in me. When you leave STAPLES Center, youre going to say Vargas couldnt do it. De La Hoya couldnt do it. Margarito couldnt do it, but Sergio Mora did it. It takes more than speed, experience and guts to beat Mosley and I know I have what it takes. I see the Concrete Jungle is in the house. I have a lot of respect for Philadelphia, but they are going to get introduced to the Snake Pit and East LA on Saturday night. OSCAR DE LA HOYA, President of Golden Boy Promotions We feel honored and privileged that STAPLES Center and L.A. Live have given us this opportunity to really bring a festive night, a festive week to the L.A. fans. This is where Sugar Shane Mosley has had some of his best victories. Sergio Mora fought here and had a tremendous win when he won The Contender. We feel that this undercard and the main event will pack the house because fans know when they have a fight that they can watch up close and personal, they will come. We put together something very special headlined by the great Sugar Shane Mosley and Sergio Mora. Boxing knows no borders. There is no nationality in boxing. All boxing knows is fight. That is the nationality of boxing. This weekend is very special for people across the globe who are celebrating the Mexican Bicentennial. Whether you are going to Cabo San Lucas or Cancun and popping open a Tecate, you can feel Mexican, you can feel that same energy and that same passion. You can feel that L.A. too. Come on down and enjoy the weekend. Have your tacos and nachos. Have whatever you want that is Mexican. It is all here. This is historic. Lets live it. Lets enjoy it because we are never going to see it again. In another 200 years, we arent going to be here so lets enjoy these festivities. To top it all off, on Saturday night, the great Sugar Shane Mosley will fight Sergio Mora, both are in a tough fight, both are ready to win. Both are hungry and ready to prove themselves. We love mentioning that what Sergio did for boxing when he was involved in The Contender. He brought another audience to the sport of boxing. Mora has beaten World Champions and former World Champions. He beat the late Vernon Forrest and people need to be reminded of that. Sugar Shane Mosley is a lock in for the Hall of Fame. That is not a doubt. He is a three division World Champion. He knocked Mayorga out with one punch. He knocked out Fernando Vargas. He had spectacular wins against me. I have known Mosley since he was a kid and he has always been a fighter. He has been a fighter that goes the extra mile. He has that will; the fighters will. Thats what makes Mosley who he is. Now he is paired up with an amazing trainer in Naazim Richardson. NAAZIM RICHARDSON, Mosleys Trainer I know people of Mexican descent, the Latino people. They respect boxing. They respect any athlete who puts his heart in the ring. That is why Mosley has so many Latino fans, because he is cut from that same cloth. I knew Sergio Mora from the amateurs. This kid can fight. He never got the proper credit. If you underestimate Sergio Mora he will beat you. Jack Mosley did a phenomenal job teaching his kid how to fight. I watched the Mosley family, the Mosley Tribe come out and support Shane Mosley Jr. at his amateur tournament just like they were all here at STAPLES Center. It makes you understand what Jack and his family raised Shane to be. I always say Shane Mosley is a great human being who just happens to know how to fight his behind off. Saturday night you will see a warrior. If you respect boxing, you are going to see two warriors match up. DEAN CAMPOS, Sergio Moras Trainer We had a great training camp. Most of all I want to thank Sergio for coming in to camp and just killing it. This kid was amazing. I want to thank Shane who is a great athlete. I hope everyone comes out Saturday and has a great time. Everyone should go to the Fiesta de Independencia and then come to the fight. JUAN MARCOS GUTIERREZ GONZALEZ, Consul General of Mexico in Los Angeles Thank you. It is a great honor for me to be here. Not only because of the announcement of this great boxing card, but we are at the same venue where we are celebrating Mexicos Bicentennial tonight. This fight is the Mexican Consulates official sporting event of the month of September - the month of Mexican Independence. This event has a lot of meaning with great fighters, a great program and a great crowd that I am sure will attend.

It appears as though All-Pro linebacker Clay Matthews will remain a Green Bay Packer for the foreseeable future, as he signed a long-term extension today, according to the Packers' official Twitter feed.
It's official: #Packers have signed LB Clay Matthews to a contract extension: pckrs.com/5d45
— Green Bay Packers (@packers) April 17, 2013
According to NFL insider Jay Glazer, Matthews' extension is for five years and will pay him $13 million per season, and Adam Schefter adds that $31 million of the deal is guaranteed:
Numbers not precise but not far off: Matthews deal worth about $65 million in new money, including about $31 million gtd.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 17, 2013
New 5 year extension for @claymatthews52 for a bit north of $13 million per.Nice
— Jay Glazer (@JayGlazer) April 17, 2013
Darren Rovell reports that the deal is front loaded, paying Matthews more money now than it will later on.
Clay Matthews will get paid $22 million by the end of 2013. A total of $27 million in the next 12 months.
— darren rovell (@darrenrovell) April 17, 2013
Matthews tweeted a photo of himself signing the contract on Wednesday.
Trivial amongst the recent tragic news, but happy to continue my career in Green Bay! twitter.com/ClayMatthews52…
— Clay Matthews III (@ClayMatthews52) April 17, 2013
The Packers' defensive leader was scheduled to become a free agent following the 2013 season, but that is obviously no longer the case. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is likely next on the agenda, as he will reach free agency following the 2014 season.
Matthews' yearly salary of $13.2 million puts him just ahead of Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware, who earns an average of $13 million, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Source said that @claymatthews52 has a yearly average salary of $13.2 million, which puts him slightly over DeMarcus Ware's $13M average.
— tom silverstein (@TomSilverstein) April 17, 2013
Much of the praise heaped on the Packers over the past few years has been directed toward Rodgers and the offense. That is certainly understandable, as Green Bay has boasted one of the most potent offenses in the league over that time.
With that said, the Packers defense was a huge reason why they won Super Bowl XLV, and its decline is a huge reason why Green Bay hasn't made it back to the Super Bowl since. Matthews has done his part, though, and it was extremely important for the Packers to lock him up.
Is this a good deal for the Packers?
Matthews has racked up double-digit sacks in three of his four NFL seasons, including 13 in just 12 games last season. The Packers don't have much aside from Matthews when it comes to players who can get to the quarterback, so re-signing him was obviously a top priority.
The offense is going to be key for the Packers in their pursuit of another Super Bowl this year and in the future, but Matthews will spearhead a defensive unit that needs to get better as a whole.
Green Bay will have plenty of tough competition in the NFC over the next few years, as the San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks, Atlanta Falcons, Minnesota Vikings and Washington Redskins all have a great mix of young talent and established veterans.
Most of them also have fantastic quarterbacks, which is where Matthews will come into play. Defensive shortcomings can be compensated for with a ferocious pass rush, and Matthews is arguably the best rush linebacker in the game right now.
He is set to be paid accordingly, and the Packers and their fans have to be happy that "The Predator" will remain in the fold for years to come.

IRS' OIC Changes Affect Delinquent Taxpayers
Designed for taxpayers who might never be able to pay off their entire assessed liability for tax, penalties and interest in the years covered by the offer—"uncollectible accounts," in IRS parlance—the OIC program has seemed like a lifesaver to many taxpayers in over their heads and has resulted in IRS collection of some debts that might otherwise have remained on the books.
Among the changes, which result from the Tax Increase Protection and Reconciliation Act of 2005 (TIPRA), taxpayers filing a lump-sum offer must pay a non-refundable 20 percent of the offer amount with the application. This upfront payment may be too steep for many taxpayers in trouble.
"The 20 percent nonrefundable deposit will stop all Offers funded by a mortgage on property, or large dollar OICs where the deposit exceeds $250,000," says Dave Levine, EA, an enrolled agent in Reno Nevada and former IRS Revenue Officer. "For the past few months I've been telling my clients that if the debt is over $100,000, plan on going through the appeals process, since large dollar offers are seldom approved at the lower levels."
On the other side of the coin is the new income level threshold at which applicants must pay the 20 percent down payment or an initial installment payment. The new threshold is set at approximately 250 percent of the Health and Human Services-calculated poverty level, making an OIC accessible to many Americans with low incomes.
Included in the changes is a redesigned checklist to help taxpayers determine whether or not they are eligible to file an OIC before they invest time in preparation. If they feel they are and choose to go this route, the National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA) recommends consulting a licensed tax professional.
"The program is tough and self-prepared OICs have a very low rate of approval," comments Levine, whose experience as an IRS Revenue Officer has given him insight into the inner workings of the OIC approval process. "On the other hand, it's workable with a highly-trained professional."

Dinosaur Doc
When he's not holding a scalpel, surgical fellow Steven Cunningham pens children's poetry. The bilingual father of four is author of the English and Spanish Dinosaur Name Poems / Poemas de Nombres de Dinosaurios. Translated into Spanish by his wife, Myriam Gorospe, a senior investigator at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, the whimsically illustrated book won the 2009 Moonbeam Children's Book Award in both Children's Poetry and Spanish Language Book categories. Inspired by Cunningham's dinosaur-obsessed son, the 70-page paperback tackles dinosaurs alphabetically (Allosaurus to Velociraptor), using fanciful prose that plays on their names. Rich watercolor images reinforce Cunningham's mostly rhyming verse. Cunningham, a Denver native and author of numerous articles on medical nomenclature, was a contributing editor of Maryland Poetry Review, and his poems have appeared in various anthologies, including Poems for Chromosomes and the cookbook Pasta Poetics. Last month, Cunningham visited the Hopkins Children Center to read to 6-year-old Isaiah Ellis. "Stegosaurus," Cunningham informed his captivated subject, "means plated lizard," and then he began reciting the book's opening poem: Signed books are available through Matthews Johns Hopkins Medical Book Center and personalized gift copies through BooksWithFlair.com. Books are also available at Amazon.com and DinosaurNamePoems.com. –Judy F. Minkove |

(ARA) - Remodeling projects have increased in popularity over the past few years as homeowners have decided to improve on what they have, rather than take a risk in the real estate market. Whether you're hoping to sell your home or create a more enjoyable living space, tackle home improvement projects that make a big impact and add value.
One of the top return-on-investment remodeling projects is updating a bathroom. Bathroom updates even outweigh kitchen projects in terms of getting back what you spend, according to CNN Money. And, if you take a cost-conscious approach and do the project yourself, your investment return will be even better. Renting tools is a key way you can cut costs and bring new life into your bathroom.
There are plenty of remodeling tasks that are easily accomplished by renting tools, versus the cost of buying expensive tools or hiring someone else to do the work. Visit www.rentalhq.com to find an American Rental Association member rental store in your area.
Bring new life to your bath with these tips:
These projects set the stage for creating a new feel for your bathroom. Make the revived space a reality by choosing a decorating theme and accessories that complement it. Items like window treatments, throw rugs and wall art make the room feel more complete and stylish. To get your project started, visit www.rentalhq.com.

New Mexico beats Cincinnati 63-54
New Mexico coach Craig Neal watched his Lobos play exactly according to his game plan Saturday against Cincinnati.
And the result was a 63-54 New Mexico victory.
''I thought our guys did the game plan exactly the way we should,'' Neal said. ''I thought we did a great job on just keep pushing forward with our tempo. Trying to take good shots. Don't turn the ball over against their press and play really good defense. And I thought our guys did that.''
It certainly helped the Lobos' cause that Cincinnati had no answer for front-court players Cameron Bairstow and Alex Kirk.
Bairstow finished with a double-double with 24 points and 13 rebounds and Kirk added 15 points for New Mexico (7-1).
''When you play an athletic team and a team that can really cause problems with length and I have Cameron Bairstow and Alex Kirk, I don't always have to run it up and down the floor,'' Neal said. ''They couldn't get out in transition and we wanted to slow the thing down and get it into the post and pound them inside.''
The Bearcats (7-1) didn't do enough to make Kirk and Cameron earn their points, Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin said.
''Kirk and Bairstow are both really good players,'' Cronin said. ''I was disappointed in our defensive effort on the interior against them. Too many layups, too many free throws. We didn't make them make jump hooks.''
New Mexico took control midway through the first quarter with a 13-2 run covering eight minutes to go up 24-10.
But the Bearcats scored the final eight points of the half to close the gap to 27-20.
Cincinnati, which shot 18-of-61 from the field, got as close as 35-33 early in the second half before the New Mexico big men came through.
Bairstow rolled in a bucket then he fed Kirk for a dunk before Kirk drove the baseline for a layup and a 41-33 Lobos lead with nearly 13 minutes left. Cincinnati would not get closer than five points the rest of the way.
Sean Kilpatrick scored 19 points to lead the Bearcats, but it took their leading scorer 18 shots to reach that mark as he was shadowed by New Mexico's Kendall Williams.
''Kendall doesn't have the stats he usually has but he had to guard Kilpatrick, who's a tough player, and he held to him to 5 of 18 and 1 of 7 (on 3-pointers),'' Neal said. ''He did an unbelievable job.''
And the Bearcats failed to make adjustments on the court, Cronin said.
''You can't go on the road against a really good basketball team and play as bad as we played and don't pass the ball,'' he said. ''Play one on one. Take terrible shots, get down by 15 and expect to come back and win. You can make a comeback but to think you're going to get over the hump against this team in this environment, in their arena with their fans fired up to play against Cincinnati, it's not going to happen. We just dug too big of a hole.''

Say, I think someone forgot to tell Bill to copy down the CMOS settings (like virus-checker OFF) before using the BIOS jumper. I hope there weren't any other important values that were not the default ones before doing the BIOS jumper thing. [claps forehead] Waaait, you can't copy down the CMOS settings when the BIOS password is active! So is there a utility that can read the CMOS settings even when there BIOS password??

I worked at Bed Bath & Beyond part-time (Less than a year)
- Above-average starting pay (compared to competitors).
- Variety of entry-level positions available, gives employees more options to best suit their strengths.
- Good place to work for physically active people (heavy lifting is a constant requirement).
- Very easy to transfer to different stores if you relocate.
- Working schedule strongly favors long shifts, and can be inflexible with employees' needs/requests (ex: very strict policy on unexpected absences, regardless of the reason).
- Very few worthwhile employee perks (ex: the 20% employee discount is equal to a common coupon).
- Outdated computer/register system is difficult to work with and confusing to learn.
- Employees are required to ask FIVE separate sales-related questions to every customer at their register, including a weekly "impulse buy" item pitch that often annoys customers.
- Employees are rarely rewarded for anything other than increased sales in specific areas (inc. weekly "impulse buy" item).
- Employees that are not able to meet the demanding physical requirements of floor positions can only choose to work exclusively at the registers (requires standing in one place for long periods & frequent bending and lifting).
Advice to Management
Stop hiring managers from outside the stores in need! I met many fantastic people while working at Bed Bath & Beyond, and only one or two of them were working in management or higher. It's a shame that Bed Bath & Beyond so stubbornly ignores their existing employees' potential for promotion, instead opting to bring in managers who are unfamiliar with the store and its veteran employees.

Advice to Management
Find the strengths and talents and then use those to the best of your ability. Listen to employees who find they are in the wrong position.

I've got a spreadsheet with GBN, Draft Countdown, a couple of the Walter Football mocks, some of Yahoo's and Mayock's position rankings in it. I'm adding CBS now.
That way I can quickly bounce between one and the other. I'm considering making a column with a composite rank of some sort.
During our mock, I just mark down the position the player was taken. Then I can sort by whichever column I want.

Private Religious Discrimination, National Security, and the First AmendmentAziz Z. HuqUniversity of Chicago - Law School 2011 Harvard Law and Policy Review, Vol. 5, p. 347, 2011 U of Chicago, Public Law Working Paper No. 373 Abstract: This essay identifies a negative feedback loop between private discrimination directed at American Muslims and security against terrorism. The first part of the loop is familiar: Concerns about terrorism animate greater antipathy toward outsiders. The second part is novel: social discrimination corrodes trust in the police and makes cooperation with police less likely. Insecurity thus creates discrimination, which deepens insecurity. The Religion Clauses of the First Amendment, now greatly weakened, still provide one tool to break this negative feedback loop.

I was going through the House of Ballads questline today, and took it all the way to the final showdown with the Maid of Windmyre. The whole time, I was as threatening as possible, choosing the "I'm going to kill you" option whenever she showed up. I got in battle with her, and towards the end, activated Reckoning Mode (guitar squeal). I beat her the rest of the way down and prepped for the camera shift that comes with the special kill. What I didn't know was that there was going to be more dialogue at the end. I was already hitting buttons when some options came up. Next thing I know, she's telling me how alike we are, and how she'll prepare things for our future. I chased her around the hall swinging my chakrams, but it didn't matter.
So, yeah. I gave the entire House of Ballads over to the bad guy. I think I'm her lover as well.

Founders' Day: Joseph Starzl '12
Joseph Starzl, a senior philosophy and German studies major, presented his Founders' Day project on differing political philosophies. He discussed the differences between Marxism and libertarianism and talked about the parts of these two philosophies that overlap.
Joseph's interest in political philosophy came out of classes like Socio-Political Philosophy, his favorite class at UP, as well from activities and trips. In particular, his education has been influenced by his trip to Nicaragua with the Moreau Center for Service and Leadership.
"The Moreau Center's Nicaragua Immersion trip had a wide impact on my education," Joseph said. "I developed my beliefs on social justice, international relations, immigration, politics, economics, myself, and my future."
After going on the Nicaragua Immersion, Joseph's goals have shifted to the international community. He plans on volunteering internationally, and he wants to eventually pursue a career in foreign relations or immigration.
Although Joseph's education has been primarily academic, he has also learned from numerous extra-curricular studies that have completed his learning experience.
"I've achieved a very cosmopolitan education through UP," Joseph said. "Study Abroad, the Moreau Center, and the International Languages and Culture department not only gifted me with knowledge, but also sparked my passion for travel and culture."
After being inspired by a service trip to Nicaragua, Joseph Starzl has become fascinated with political philosophy. He will present his Founders' Day project on the differences between Marxist and libertarian thought.

Was awesome until I saw the "Brazilian Day" bullshit. America is just a slut ready to be fucked by anyone, so sad to me. (before you criticize that- if they liked America more than Brazil they wouldn't have a Brazil day. They just want the American life, not America the country.)

@Another Guy
I disagree with you! just because they have a Brazilian day it doesn't mean they don't love America.
I don't see anything wrong with people celebrating their parents's/grand parent's birthplace in fact that's what makes America special better and stronger a multicultural Land.
hell I love America too and i'm not even American and nor I live in America but I do live.the most dangers thing to america is the right wing extremist ideology. I can tell from an outsider perspective that ideas like that would divide and weaken America.
i'm proud of America as a non American because of what they stand for, a multicultural free country that everyone is free and equal. -

@Another guy.. your ancestors came from some place in Europe. There's nothing wrong with an American showing love for his ancestor's birth country and culture. No different than the Irish celebrating St.Patrick's day.

He's a fighter, and he's become a multi-millionaire without having to be fluent in your precious english. Do you pay to watch him speak or to kick people's asses?
Kanu September 11, 2012
@ Another Guy…woaooow buddy you really need to chill, take a pill and sit down and breathe….so much hate in such a short paragraph. I am not even mad at you for being border nationalist-extremist because you are just ignorant…so allow me to share with you a little bit of knowledge so that next time you respect any other human being…… If you knew a little bit of history you would know that America natives were various tribes and ethnics groups such as American Indians, Native Hawaiians or Alaskan natives etc, etc, etc….Unless you are not originally from those natives tribes (and obviously I didnt name them all)…that means that you are a decendant from a European or elsewhere place. So before you start acting like you own the US you should know your history. Second of all what is wrong in celebrating your ancestors, your land, your culture ? how does it mean that they do not respect the US…If you knew where you were originally from maybe you would do the same but you have invaded that land such a long time a go that you probably have no clue… Sorry about that rant but ignorance need to be corrected sometimes…now back to MMA Silva is just as humble as GSP to me and they are great champ!!! they show respect to their opponents which is one of the corner stone of Martial arts….RESPECT to all…A millionaire grown man cleaning his table at 3 a.m thats a real Man, a real champ, a respectful human being

Released: Feb 01st, 2001
Running Time: 68
Company: Bad Girl Productions
Dave Hardman, Shasta, Rod Fontana, Tye (I), Nina Whett, Tara (I), Joel Lawrence, Dynamite, Envy (I), Jack Hammer
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Hard enough for some single guys but not so raunchy as to turn off couples.
Despite a steady stream of painfully artificial, oh-so-clichéd dialog from the female cast about what "bad girls" they are, this modest little first release from Shasta's production company - Bad Girl Productions, what else? - delivers the goods sexually.
Each of the tape's five scenes - four couplings and one threeway - are very well energized, featuring uniformly foxy babes sucking and fucking with loud, lewd gusto. And there's no long, slow warm-ups either. Most of the proceedings are joined in progress, with things already at a full boil.
Standouts include Nina Whett (never looking hotter clad in sinful thigh-high rubber boots) in the opener, tantalizing Tara in scene two and of course the baddest of the bad, Shasta - for which the vid is a star vehicle - taking on Rod Fontana and Dave Hardman in the scalding closer.
Porn-slut gorgeous with short blonde hair, big fake tits and tanned creamy flesh, Shasta gives super-gooey head, groans with animalistic abandon as she briefly gets d.p.'d, then hungrily implores Fontana to blow all over her comely kisser. Rest assured, she gets her wish.
It may not be innovative or big-budgeted, but I Wanna Be a Bad Girl is a promising start nonetheless for Shasta's company, as well as for Shasta herself. She's one to keep an eye on.

Transgender Erotica Awards Host a ŌĆśT.E.A. PartyŌĆÖ
Cosmo loves the Tea Party ŌĆō but itŌĆÖs not the one youŌĆÖre thinking of.
In his latest piece for womenŌĆÖs magazine Cosmopolitan, Frank Kobola applauded the new ŌĆ£less offensive nameŌĆØ of the annual Tranny Awards: the ŌĆ£Transgender Erotica Awards.ŌĆØ The transgender adult industry event hosted by Grooby Productions began in 2007 as a ŌĆ£small, online-only awards show designed to celebrate transgender erotica,ŌĆØ but today has transformed into a ŌĆ£full awards show extravaganza, honoring models and performers in 21 categories and attracting attention from outside of the trans community.ŌĆØ The awards after party (surprise, surprise) will play on the acronym of Transgender Erotica Awards to become the new T.E.A. Party.
Grooby Productions published the following statement:
We started the show as an online event for a bit fun and never anticipated the interest and growth of the show to become the main annual event for trans women and men in the adult industry,ŌĆØ said Grooby Productions owner Steven Grooby. ŌĆ£When we named the show the ŌĆśTranny AwardsŌĆÖ in 2007 the climate was different and the usage of the word ŌĆśtrannyŌĆÖ was appropriate as a catchy title in an online porn event. While I personally believe, within the context of porn, that ŌĆśtrannyŌĆÖ has its place as a descriptor in the same way many words have their place only in porn, I do understand why some people have become frustrated with its usage here.
As we aim to be inclusive of all areas of transgender erotica and are looking to broaden the appeal of the show to mainstream media, we believed it was time to re-brand the event to the Transgender Erotica Awards ŌĆō or the TEAŌĆÖs. The acronym works especially well since ŌĆśTŌĆÖ is used within the community and weŌĆÖre going to have some fun with the promotions (the after party, for example, will be ŌĆśThe TEA PartyŌĆÖ). IŌĆÖd like to thank the extended trans adult community for their input and feedback over the last few months. We will be producing a show that the whole transgender adult community can be proud of.
Kobola acknowledged the Tea Party acronym, ŌĆ£which is great if you love irony.ŌĆØ

A DVD, accompanied by essays and an exhibition catalog, gives extra insight into the artists and their work, but it also reveals installation elements that were missing upon this particular viewing. For example, Arthur Jafa's My Black Death seems like it was improperly installed. It's a black car, a '70s Pontiac Trans Am, impaled and enveloped by a black frame. A crushed metal sculpture lies on the floor at the back end of the car. The catalog mentions that the piece was exhibited in a darkened space (ArtPace in San Antonio) where the Trans Am could barely be seen. That sounds much more interesting than the incarnation at the CAMH, where the piece has been placed in close proximity to the brightest-shining work in the entire exhibit (Nadine Robinson's Wormwood). As a result, the car is flooded with light, and its power is drained like a vampire in the sun. And where was the "distorted music emanating from the car's trunk," as the catalog states? It would've been a nice touch, but alas, no music.
Wormwood, on the other hand, is impressive. It's a huge seven-point star covered in 500 lightbulbs, and it emits real heat. Sunglasses are recommended for viewing it, especially if you get real close. Inspired by the Book of Revelation, Wormwood symbolizes the "third angel's great star of destruction."
A pitch-black corridor leads to Kissing Cousins, Kambui Olujimi's haunting installation. Upon first entrance, the blackness feels vast and scary, until the discovery of a little room with two tiny, dollhouse-size windows. A melancholy tune underscored by rumbling thunder plays while imagery of an electrical storm flashes outside the windows. The only furniture in the tiny space is a dimly lit stand-up ashtray. The anxiety upon entrance turns into a feeling of comfort, of being protected from the elements. On exit, there's a surprising revelation that the confines of the piece are actually much smaller than originally perceived.
Satch Hoyt's 8-Track Shack is another example of curatorial misrepresentation, but in this case, the piece fares better. It's a house-shaped frame walled from top to bottom with hundreds of eight-track tapes. At the CAM, it rests on the floor and viewers may step inside it, but in the exhibit catalog it's described as being suspended above the floor with microphones placed under it, so that viewers may "sing along to a compilation of songs created by black artists during the period of the eight-track's reign in the 1970s." No such suspension or microphones here, and that's probably better, since one wouldn't be able to browse the tapes. Interestingly, the outside of the shack features black artists, like Stevie Wonder, Al Green, Sarah Vaughan, Diana Ross, the Commodores and Richard Pryor, while the inside features mostly whites: the Carpenters, Kenny Rogers, Ronnie Milsap, Styx, Billy Joel...even the Muppet Movie sound track. A music loop plays snippets of songs. The suggestion might be that black artists laid the foundation for modern pop/rock/country (an accurate proposal), or it may be simple counterpoint. Regardless, it's a fun piece.
Not fun, on the other hand, is The Complex, So. Cal, Multi 4, Kianga Ford's quartet of banal, headphones-outfitted plastic pods, which viewers may crawl inside of to listen to a boring story about people who live in an apartment complex. It's a wasted opportunity and anticlimactic. If Ford's audio adhered more to the "noise" theme, it might have resonated louder.
"Loud" is a good word to describe George Lewis's Rio Negro. The multimedia/sound installation is comprised of automated contraptions that manipulate rainmakers and hanging chimes to create improvisational musical phrasings. An atmospheric sound loop plays in the background and randomly, coincidentally accompanies the automatic instruments, which are decorated and painted in a tribal motif. It's great to sit on one of the benches in the space and wait for those moments of cacophony, when the instruments and the sound design come together. On its own, it's reason enough to see the show.
Louis Cameron's abstract video projections Spectrum Colors Sequenced by Chance and Universal are mesmerizing, as is Karyn Olivier's Whispering Domes, an interactive sound installation.
Ultimately, though, "Black Light/White Noise" feels confusing on a thematic level. On a simply "contemporary light and sound" level, it's cohesive. But the racial angle feels tacked-on and unexplored. The catalog goes a long way toward clarifying intent, but must we read an essay to get the point? It feels like lazy curating.

You'll find a layer of darker yeast that settles on top of your yeast bed in your fermenter. This layer is thicker than normal and acts as a blanket. This settling process avoids your yeast from being disturbed as you move your carboy. Biofine brings out maltiness and accentuates esters produced by yeast.
Biofine Clear is a purified colloidal solution of silicic acid (SiO2) in water that has been specially formulated for the rapid sedimentation of yeast and other haze forming particles in beer. (Vegan friendly - no animal products) Shelf life is 24 months from date of manufacture, unopened.
Dosage Rates: 1/4 Tbsp (3 ml or 1/10oz) to as much as 2 Tbsp (31 ml or 1 fluid oz.) per 5 gallon batch of beer.
Some beer styles don't react with certain dose rates. You may have to add more to have an effect. We recommend starting small and increasing your dosage rates once per day until clarification takes place.
