The present invention claims priority to U.S. provisional patent applications Ser. Nos. 60/674,204 and 60/674,203, herein incorporated by reference.
The concept of auxiliary processing and auxiliary mechanisms that provide some auxiliary computing functionality to a main (host) computer system are generally described in a number of U.S. patent applications assigned to the assignee of the present invention, including Ser. Nos. 10/429,930 and 10/429,932. In general, many of these auxiliary computing concepts are embodied in various types of auxiliary displays. Auxiliary displays can show data of a host personal computer, even when the host computer system (e.g., a personal computer) is off or in some other reduced-power state.
One standard design for an auxiliary display in a laptop computer is to have it embedded in the lid, with its own dedicated set of actuators for navigating the auxiliary display user interface. While this provides value, with such a design the auxiliary display is only visible when the laptop lid is closed, negating any value it could otherwise provide when the host computer system is running and the lid is open with the host display screen visible.
This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of representative concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used in any way that would limit the scope of the claimed subject matter.
Briefly, various aspects of the subject matter described herein are directed towards a technology by which an auxiliary computing device comprising a display and/or actuator set coupled to a host computer system may be interacted with (e.g., viewed) independent of whether the display is visible, e.g., whether a laptop lid or tablet lid is open or closed. In one example implementation, the auxiliary device is located above the keyboard and the main display slightly elevated on one or more pivoting supports. This effectively provides an opening in the lid through which the auxiliary device may be viewed.
Other openings/transparencies in the lid, whether real or simulated, may be provided as a means of allowing viewing of an auxiliary display independent of the lid position.
Other advantages may become apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the drawings.
The present invention is illustrated by way of example and not limited in the accompanying figures in which like reference numerals indicate similar elements and in which:
Exemplary Operating Environment
The invention is operational with numerous other general purpose or special purpose computing system environments or configurations. Examples of well known computing systems, environments, and/or configurations that may be suitable for use with the invention include, but are not limited to: personal computers, server computers, hand-held or laptop devices, tablet devices, multiprocessor systems, microprocessor-based systems, set top boxes, programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers, distributed computing environments that include any of the above systems or devices, and the like.
The invention may be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, being executed by a computer. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, and so forth, which perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. The invention may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in local and/or remote computer storage media including memory storage devices.
With reference to
The computer 110 typically includes a variety of computer-readable media. Computer-readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by the computer 110 and includes both volatile and nonvolatile media, and removable and non-removable media. By way of example, and not limitation, computer-readable media may comprise computer storage media and communication media. Computer storage media includes volatile and nonvolatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information such as computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data. Computer storage media includes, but is not limited to, RAM, ROM, EEPROM, flash memory or other memory technology, CD-ROM, digital versatile disks (DVD) or other optical disk storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to store the desired information and which can accessed by the computer 110. Communication media typically embodies computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave or other transport mechanism and includes any information delivery media. The term "modulated data signal" means a signal that has one or more of its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. By way of example, and not limitation, communication media includes wired media such as a wired network or direct-wired connection, and wireless media such as acoustic, RF, infrared and other wireless media. Combinations of the any of the above should also be included within the scope of computer-readable media.
The system memory 130 includes computer storage media in the form of volatile and/or nonvolatile memory such as read only memory (ROM) 131 and random access memory (RAM) 132. A basic input/output system 133 (BIOS), containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within computer 110, such as during start-up, is typically stored in ROM 131. RAM 132 typically contains data and/or program modules that are immediately accessible to and/or presently being operated on by processing unit 120. By way of example, and not limitation,
The computer 110 may also include other removable/non-removable, volatile/nonvolatile computer storage media. By way of example only,
The drives and their associated computer storage media, described above and illustrated in
The computer 110 may operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer 180. The remote computer 180 may be a personal computer, a server, a router, a network PC, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above relative to the computer 110, although only a memory storage device 181 has been illustrated in
When used in a LAN networking environment, the computer 110 is connected to the LAN 171 through a network interface or adapter 170. When used in a WAN networking environment, the computer 110 typically includes a modem 172 or other means for establishing communications over the WAN 173, such as the Internet. The modem 172, which may be internal or external, may be connected to the system bus 121 via the user input interface 160 or other appropriate mechanism. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the computer 110, or portions thereof, may be stored in the remote memory storage device. By way of example, and not limitation,
An auxiliary display subsystem 199 may be connected via the user interface 160 to allow data such as program content, system status and event notifications to be provided to the user, even if the main portions of the computer system are in a low power state. The auxiliary display subsystem 199 may be connected to the modem 172 and/or network interface 170 to allow communication between these systems while the main processing unit 120 is in a low power state. Note that an auxiliary device may be made useful for whatever operating modes a device may have, including modes that can be created by adding an auxiliary device.
Multiple-Use Auxiliary Display
Various aspects of the technology described herein are directed towards an auxiliary display device that remains usable in various host computer configuration states, and/or creates/transforms a formerly unusable or hardly unusable state into a usable state. For example, given a host computer system in the form of a laptop with an integrated auxiliary display, the auxiliary display may remain visible when the laptop lid is open or closed. In general, much of the description herein is directed towards such particular examples. However, numerous other types of configurations and arrangements are feasible. For example, a user may manually position a moveable auxiliary device so as to be able to use the device regardless of the host computer configuration state.
Moreover, while an auxiliary display device may be of the type that is coupled to a host computer system by being physically built into the housing, e.g., in a laptop, other types of auxiliary devices and actuators may similarly leverage the technology described herein, including devices not conventionally thought of as being "computer-system" peripherals. Such devices include television sets, audio receivers, audio/video recorders, telephones, a separate computer, a mobile communications device, a secondary display screen with actuators, a watch, a wall (e.g., kitchen) display, a display screen, a digital picture frame, a clock, a radio, a media player, a device embedded within or using the main display of a consumer electronics device, automotive, transportation or other vehicular units, keyboards or other input devices of the main computer system, a pager, a personal digital assistant, and so forth. As such, the present invention is not limited to the examples, structures or functionality described herein; rather, any of the examples, structures or functionality described herein are non-limiting, and the present invention may be used various ways that provide benefits and advantages in computing and auxiliary device usage in general.
Turning to a first, laptop-based example,
In the example implementation of
Note that more sophisticated mechanisms are feasible, e.g., an alternative design may be provided in which the host computer system's main display can move forward and back, up and down, and/or rotate (as on tablet-based designs) to give the user more flexibility in how the host computer system may be configured for a given usage model. For example, if currently not interested in auxiliary device interaction, the user may slide the main display forward, whereby the host computer system resembles a conventional laptop computer; when desired, the user may later slide back the main display to view and otherwise interact with the auxiliary device.
Moreover, the surface on which the auxiliary device (e.g., display component and actuator set) is located also may move, such as downward so as to be generally on the same plane as the keyboard when the lid is open, and upward so to as to be generally on the same plane as the top of lid when the lid is closed. For example, in one implementation, the part of a computer system in which that the auxiliary display and actuators are integrated tilts towards the user when the lid is opened so that the viewing angle approximates that of the main display, making it easier to view any auxiliary display content.
As mentioned above, the auxiliary device's functionality and/or data being displayed may change in response to state changes, such as the state of the lid position. For example, when open, the auxiliary display 220 may show media-related data and instant-messaging messages, instead of, or in addition to, showing those on the main display, but not when the lid is closed, instead showing only calendar data in such a state. Any such changes may be user configurable.
The orientation of the auxiliary device's user interface components (e.g., the display and actuator set) of the auxiliary device may also change based on the current state. For example, the rotation state of the main display of a convertible tablet-based computer may be detected and used to change the orientation of the auxiliary device, e.g., the display inverts its image and the actuator set such as a D-pad correspondingly reverses its up button to down, left button to right and vice versa. Note that in such a model, the same auxiliary actuator set may be used when open or closed.
Still further, another type of physical rotation may correspond to the screen rotated flat or nearly flat, such as to use a tablet-based computer in slate (tablet writing) mode. The auxiliary display device may vary its position and display accordingly. Another type of rotation corresponds to orientation, that is, landscape or portrait orientation. Again, the auxiliary display device may vary its position and display, e.g., when the tablet is used in a portrait mode the auxiliary display could also switch to portrait when appropriate, such as based on user preferences.
Other state data may include whether the main computer system is in a screen saver or display-power-down mode, and/or what program is currently being run. For example, the auxiliary display device may behave differently when a presentation program is being run, so that the user can position the main display screen to face towards viewers, and operate the presentation program from behind the host computer system by using the auxiliary device with an inverted display and reversed actuator set.
In general, in
If the state handling logic 436 is in the auxiliary system, the state handling logic may provide events to the host computer system 210 when online, and receive data (e.g., instructions) from the host computer system 210, such as to override default behavior. When the host computer system 210 is offline, the state handling logic 436 can still operate, such as to change the orientation of the auxiliary display 220 based on the current lid position. Another event may come from a sensor that detects how the user is holding the machine, e.g., a mercury-type switch sensor.
As also represented in
When online, the host computer system 210 can send data (e.g., configured as pages or the like) to the auxiliary subsystem 434 for rendering on the auxiliary display 220. In this manner, the host computer system 210 can control the output of the auxiliary display 220 in response to events received, including events that correspond to interaction with the actuator set 230. Note that the host computer system 210 also may control the output of the auxiliary display 220 in response to other events and other user input, e.g., conventional keyboard and mouse input, received emails, calendar events, phone (caller-ID) events, and so forth.
When online, the host computer system 210 can also instruct the state handling logic 436 to be used to control the operation of the auxiliary display 220 independent of the host computer system 210, e.g., as if the host computer system 210 was offline, until otherwise instructed. Other state data 440 can also be used for this purpose, e.g., the lid switch 442 can provide its state, as well as other controls and sensors 444, such as one that indicates whether a tablet PC screen is in a rotated state, and so forth. Note that the state data 440 may include information as to whether the host computer system 210 is in a screen saver or display-power-down mode, (which may be considered a form of being offline), and/or what program is currently being run; for example, the auxiliary display subsystem 434 may behave differently when a presentation program is being run with respect to when another program is run. Still other possible state data includes proximity sensing, time-of-day, whether a phone call is detected, whether the host computer system is operating, when there is a connection to another device and/or a network, and so forth.
User preferences 446, e.g., comprising rules, defaults, and/or other information, also may be a factor in determining operation of the auxiliary device, including whether and how to route input from the actuator set 230. Such preference data 446 or a subset thereof may be configured or overridden by the host computer system 210 when online, and may be maintained in the auxiliary processing and memory subsystem 434 so that it is available for offline use. Essentially any piece or combination of state data 440, and user preferences/overrides 446 can be used to determine whether the host computer system 210 or the auxiliary processing and memory subsystem 434 controls what content is displayed, and how the auxiliary handling logic 436 operates to route actuator set input.
When the host computer system is offline, or otherwise acts as such with respect to input from the actuator set 230, the auxiliary subsystem 434 directly controls the content displayed on the auxiliary display 220. This may be accomplished in various ways, such as by having the state handling logic 436 provide interaction (navigation) events to an auxiliary program (e.g., operating system) running on the auxiliary subsystem 434 (instead of to the main computer system 210, or to both, with the main computer system simply not handling the events). Note that the auxiliary subsystem 434 is available for use because offline content may cached in an auxiliary memory, and because the auxiliary processor, memory and state handling logic 436 have power maintained thereto, whereby the state handling logic 436 has the ability to generate events to a running auxiliary program even when the host computer system 210 is powered down to some extent As can be readily appreciated, other various state data 440 as evaluated against user preferences 446 or the like may control or override operation, e.g., a system may be configured to not use the auxiliary display 220 when power is critically low.
As can be readily appreciated, various ways to handle input data may be alternatively implemented. For example, instead of actuator handling logic 436, the actuator set 230 can be coupled (via one or more interfaces) to both the host computer system 210 and to the auxiliary subsystem 434. When the host computer system 210 is online, the auxiliary processing subsystem 434 can ignore user interaction events received from the actuator set 230, essentially deferring to the host computer system 210, which can route them back as desired. When offline, the auxiliary processing subsystem 434 accepts the user interaction events and operates based on them, with the host computer system 210 not being operational to handle such events, thereby precluding conflicts.
Note that it is feasible for the auxiliary display 222 (or a secondary device) to remain visible when the laptop lid is closed, as in
While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative constructions, certain illustrated embodiments thereof are shown in the drawings and have been described above in detail. It should be understood, however, that there is no intention to limit the invention to the specific forms disclosed, but on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, alternative constructions, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the invention.

Baby Boomers are Positive People
I sometimes feel jaded because I've been through so much. However, it's important to realize that the same attention I pay to negative things can be better spent refocusing my thoughts on the positive. There is no point holding on to negative images when they only create more self-doubt, guilt and suffering in my life. Therefore, I try to let it go, allowing myself to move in the direction of love, compassion and forgiveness. Plus, I model what "naturally positive people" would do. Positive people are able to maintain their focus no matter what the circumstance or situation. They stay optimistic by creating personal stepping-stones to help get them past their occasional stumbling blocks.… CONTINUE READING

Public opinion split on bridge
Girard must weigh history, convenience in deciding fate of historic Gudgeonville span
GIRARD -- Girard Township officials will meet with the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission as early as Friday in hopes of deciding the fate of the Gudgeonville Bridge.
Public suggestions during a meeting at the Girard High School auditorium Tuesday night were mixed, leaving township supervisors unsure about the fate of the covered bridge across Elk Creek.
"We'll be relaying to the PHMC the ideas we got from our residents and others that attended tonight's meeting,"township Supervisor Sandra Anderson said. "We'll also find out what the (commission's) ideas are about the possible future of the bridge and what they would like to see done with it. Most of all, we're concerned about the danger of people crossing it. The weight limit is two cars. Having a beautiful bridge in a scenic location is wonderful, but we still have to be concerned about the safety factor."
Neighbors on Tuesday night complained that the bridge cannot accommodate firetrucks, snowplows or ambulances and that it's a favorite hangout for vandals and partying teens.
Others from throughout the area said the 1837 bridge is a public treasure and well worth the $79,000 cost for priority repairs.
The PHMC lists the bridge among state historic sites and could possibly help fund its repair or relocation.
Township supervisors said state and federal transportation funds are not available to repair the bridge, but would cover 95 percent of the cost to build a new span across the creek. They propose building a bridge alongside the covered bridge or dismantling and rebuilding the covered bridge at Lake Erie Community Park, Erie Bluffs State Park or some other public site.
Tony Mitcho lives about a half-mile from the bridge. The Girard and Fairview township line cuts through his property. He opposes leaving the covered bridge where it is and closing it off to traffic.
"The covered bridge has historical significance, but there's too much vandalism. It's a problem area," Mitcho said. "I would like to see it repaired and protected. But because it's in a secluded area, the state police do not respond quickly to complaints. Maybe it would be best if it wasn't there and moved to a park."
It seemed that the farther people live from the bridge, the more they prefer its present location.
"It's been there forever," said Calvin Lydic of Franklin Township, who lives about three miles from Gudgeonville. "When we were kids, we went down there to see it, and there's still people down there constantly taking pictures of it. It's a scenic area. If they move it, it won't be the same. They should build a new bridge nearby and make the covered bridge a walking bridge."
Repairs on the covered bridge could be washed away by flooding creek waters, and supervisors said they will consider that, too, in deciding what to do with the bridge. Elk Creek rose to within a foot of the span during a storm in the fall, township roadmaster Tim Sechrist said.
In advance of the public meeting, Girard Township officials received about a dozen letters and e-mails, mostly from people living outside of Erie County.
Harold L. Scudder of Homer, Mo., wrote, "We (My wife and I) have visited and photographed 240 covered bridges and find the Gudgeonville (bridge) to be high on our list of the best ever."

Release Date:
November 1, 1995
There is virtually no information about the performances provided in the liner notes to this album. Other than Nancy Wilson, none of the other players are identified. It's apparent that I Wish You Love pulls together cuts made at different times with different groups, and these songs never found their way to the album that was being made at the time. It also sounds as if these sessions were done at widely different times throughout Wilson's Capitol career, and were backed by a variety of groups. On some songs, like "I'm Gonna Laugh You Out of My Life," her voice sounds very young. On others, like "I Wish You Love," she is considerably more mature. That these are cuts from different sessions is supported by the very short playing time provided on this CD: a little over 23 minutes, or about two-and-a-half minutes a tune. On "I Wish You Love," Wilson is backed by a medium-sized ensemble, which has a very good tenor sax player. "Guess Who I Saw Today?" is done in a small group setting with prominent piano and guitar. Wilson is working with a big band on the tunes "People Will Say We're in Love" and "On the Street Where You Live." Sound vibes work complements Wilson's slow tempo version of "In Other Words." The highlight of the album is "You Leave Me Breathless," with its excellent vibes and bass work. Contrast this with an overblown arrangement of "You Don't Know What Love Is," replete with strings and tinkling piano. There are plenty of other Nancy Wilson albums available to choose from with much more music on them than this one. Dave Nathan, Rovi

Katherine Heigl: I've Never Been America's Sweetheart
By Chris Gardner
Katherine Heigl is not afraid to speak her mind. But that fearless honesty has been both a blessing and a curse for the Connecticut-bred actress, who has carved out an impressive 20-plus-year career in Hollywood, drawing in countless supporters who praise her talent and authenticity while rejecting just as many who claim she's too brash. The former "Grey's Anatomy" star tells the January issue of Elle that she sees both sides of the coin, but has finally come to the realization that she can't have her cake and throw it too.
RELATED: See more photos from the Katherine Heigl cover shoot
On the controversy over negative comments she made about "Knocked Up" and "Grey's Anatomy":
"I've never really been America's sweetheart, but for a minute I think that's what they wanted me to be. And I had 'em for a second thinking maybe I was. And then I opened my mouth, and it was very clear I wasn't. There's so much of my mother's caustic, sarcastic, irreverent take on things. But I also love and embrace it. I look at some of what I had to say, and I'm like, 'Oh my God, I would tell myself to shut up too.'"

When Kings of Leon's Nathan Followill responded to Glee creator Ryan Murphy's attack on KOL for their refusal to license their songs for the popular FOX show, he was the latest in a long line of artists who've used Twitter as a way to air their uncensored opinions 140 characters at a time.
Here, SPIN looks back at the funniest and most outrageous text wars that have erupted on the popular social media service.
Vince Staples is hardly the ingratiating type. "Don't shake my hands unless you passing payment," instructs the redoubtable young'un on "C.M.B.," a paean to ruthlessly mercenary, Randian capitalism.

Dear all, We've been asking for childcare/school recommendations for the last few weeks. Thank you very much to those that have contributed. To clarify: we keep all your comments on file, and on request pass them to other University parents looking for "insider" recommendations on local childcare. Individual experiences and perceptions of what makes a facility worth recommending can vary hugely, but many staff and students - particularly those that are new to the area and might not have a network of friends and family to consult - have found your comments very useful. If anyone would like to make use of this resource, you can visit the Childcare Office to look through the file (it's a good idea to email or call first to make an appointment) or you can email with the name(s) of the facility you're interested in and we'll pass on what we have. We don't have comments on all facilities in Cambs: the majority are for nurseries within the city. This week's newsletter is below and packed with the latest info. The PARENT MESSAGES section - which includes items for sale, help wanted and services offered – and some news items have been removed from this online version of the newsletter. In order to receive the full newsletter delivered to your inbox on a Thursday, you must be subscribed to the staff parent email list – email firstname.lastname@example.com with your name, job title and Department. Best wishes, Cassie and Naomi.

We are based in the Department of Experimental Psychology, here at Cambridge University. Our research focuses on the development of future planning, social cognition and communication in young children. All our tests involve both you and your child (the two of you are never separated) and take the form of a game. An experiment usually lasts between 20 and 30 minutes. If you are interested in participating or if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us by email or telephone. Your help would be greatly appreciated, Dean Developing Cognition Lab http://research.psychol.cam.ac.uk/~dcl/ Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Phone: 01223 339551 ------ SHARE THE CARE WEEK: SHORT BREAK CARERS WANTED 9-16 March is Share the Care Week, run by the Shared Care Network (www.sharedcarenetwork.org.uk) - a national charity representing short break services for disabled children and young people. Short break care is where a disabled child is linked with a family or individual who provides them with regular, short-term care in the carer's home; anything from a few hours a week to a few days a month. Most children who use the service have learning difficulties, though they may also have a physical disability, complex healthcare needs or sensory impairments. Carers in Cambridgeshire are using Share the Care Week to recruit more short break carers for disabled children in the county. At least a third of children waiting for short break carers have autism, this year the focus is on recruiting carers for children with autism. Anyone thinking of becoming a short break carer should contact Cambridgeshire Fostering and Adoption Service on 0800 052 0078. ------ NATIONAL CHILDBIRTH TRUST NEARLY NEW SALE: VOLUNTEERS WANTED Twice a year NCT Cambridge runs massive nearly new sales of high quality babies and children clothing, plus books, toys, maternity wear and equipment.

Claim for Refund and Request for Abatement document sample
TAXES The IRS, contrary to USERRA, is of the position pursuant to Revenue Ruling 69-136 that the employer-employee relationship is terminated when the employee reports for active duty military service (Army, Navy, Air Force or state National Guard). Payments made by the employer to employee, while they are on military service, are not classified as "wages" for services performed in "employment" for the employer. The payments are therefore not subject to taxes imposed by the Federal Insurance Contributions Act, the Federal Unemployment Tax Act or to the Collection of Income Tax at Source on Wages. Differential Pay: These payments are defined as "payments made voluntarily by an employer to represent the difference between the employees' regular salary and the amount being paid to them by the military, if the regular salary is higher." The payments consist of the following: military continuation pay; active duty differential payments required by state statutes or payments made by certain states or commonwealths who pay a stipend for a set dollar amount to their employees called to military active duty. The IRS has taken the following position on differential pay: (i) employers should report it on Form 1099 MISC, Box 3: Other Income; (ii) FICA and income tax should not be withheld from the payments; and (iii) the payments are not subject to FUTA. The employee should treat the payments as follows: (i) report them on Line 21 of Form 1040 as Other Income, Military Differential pay; (ii) no self-employment tax will be owed on the payments because the income is not derived from any trade or business conducted by the employee for self-employment tax purposes; and (iii) make quarterly estimated tax payments in order to avoid a year-end tax liability on the income. If FICA and income taxes are erroneously withheld by an employer, they can correct the error on Form 941 by making an adjustment for the quarter during which the error was discovered. The employer will file a Form 941C, Supporting Statement To Correct Information, when making the adjustment. Alternatively, if excess FICA was paid in a prior period, you can also recover the excess amount by filing a claim for refund using Form 843, Claim for Refund and Request for Abatement, and Form 941C. The reimbursement of erroneously withheld FICA taxes will also entitle the employer, who paid a portion of FICA, to a refund. Alternatively, if the employer refuses to seek a refund on the employee's behalf, the employee may file a claim for refund using Form 843 (Claim for Refund and Request for Abatement). On Line 5 the employee will need to explain why they are due the refund and all efforts made to secure it. The refund request must include a statement from the employer indicating whether the employer has reimbursed any of the erroneously withheld FICA to the employee or filed a claim for refund of any of the erroneously withheld FICA. Combat Zone: Compensation received for active service in a combat zone is excludable from gross income. This exclusion applies only to compensation paid by the military to service members. Compensation paid by other employers (private enterprises or governmental entities) to service members is not excludable as combat zone compensation regardless of where the recipient is performing active military service at the time the payment is made. RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS USERRA requires employers to treat the service member's period of military leave as service with the employer for purposes of vesting and the accrual of benefits. The period of military leave will also not be treated as a break in service under the plan. A rehired service member must also be permitted to make up missed contributions required to earn a benefit accrual for the military service period. If employee contributions are required or permitted under the plan, the employee will have a period equal to three times the period of military duty or five years, whichever ends first, to make up the contributions. Pension Benefits: Upon reemployment, the employer will be required to make any employer contributions that would have been required, on behalf of the returning employee, had they continued working for the employer during the period of service. The returning service member must also be allowed to make up any employee contributions or elective deferrals they would have been eligible to make during the period of service. The amount of make-up contributions is subject to the limits that applied during the period of military service. 401(k) Plan (Employer and Employee contributions): While on active duty there is no requirement for an employer to make contributions to your 401(k) plan. Upon your return and reemployment the employer must make employer contributions that would have been made if you had been employed during the period of military duty. If the employee makes up the contributions, the employer must make up any matching contributions. Make-up contributions: Under USERRA, the employer does not have to begin the make-up contributions until after the service member returns to their civilian employment (same employer). The employer's make-up contribution period is equal to that on the employee (referenced above). If the employer contributions are contingent on the employee's elective contributions, that are made, the employer will be required to make up its contributions over the same period that the service member uses. If the make-up contributions cover several years the employee can designate the specific year or years their contributions cover. The make-up contributions, if they span several years, should be reported beginning with the earliest year on the employees W-2 in Box 12 as a "Code D" with year and amount. The reporting of make-up non-elective contributions, voluntary after-tax contributions, required employee contributions and employer matching contributions, should be in box 14 with each amount separately listed for each year. Lump Sum Make-Up Payment: The IRS is of the opinion that a lump sum make-up contribution payment could be made, assuming the plan permits such a payment. The payment would be an after-tax employee contribution and not excluded from income. However, elective deferrals from your compensation would be excluded from income. Thrift Savings Plan (TSP): Employees who are covered by FERS and CSRS, as well as members of the military may participate in the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP). Employees that participate in the TSP as both Federal employees and service members must pay attention to the annual Internal Revenue Code contributions limits. DISABILITY USERRA requires an employer to make "reasonable efforts" to accommodate service members with a disability (permanent or temporary) incurred or aggravated during military service. If a member returns from military service with a disability that cannot be accommodated by reasonable employer efforts, the employer is required to reemploy the member in another position he or she is qualified to perform and which is the "nearest approximation" of the position to which the member is otherwise entitled (status and pay) with full seniority. HEALTH CARE BENEFITS USERRA requires employers to allow any employee on a military leave to elect and pay, for up to 18 months, for continuation of coverage for themself and dependents under any health care plan. The service member may be required to pay up to 102% of the full premium associated with the coverage. Upon the members return to employment (same employer) the employee will not be subject to any waiting period or preexisting condition exclusions upon reinstatement. Flexible Spending Accounts: A flexible spending account (FSA) is a type of cafeteria plan, under Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code, which allows employees to purchase certain benefits (medical or dental expenses) on a pre-tax basis. The employee will be reimbursed, up to the amount committed from gross pay, for expenses covered by the FSA. The employer must also make available to the employee the full amount of the benefit whenever the reimbursable expense occurs. Any funds remaining in the employee's account, at plan year end, becomes the property of the employer. Employer Provided Health Care Benefits: The service member's gross income will not include employer-provided coverage under an accident or health plan. This exclusion will apply during both the term of their employment and while they are serving on military duty. Group term life insurance: The cost of up to $50,000 of group term life insurance coverage will not be included in the service member's gross income while they are employed or on military leave.

You're one of the most deceived people on this site Candace.
No Lisa, YOU ARE and I KNOW YOU ARe and I KNOW WHO I AM. Go read on the Walter Russell thread and start learning something about the Father Lisa. You are hugely ignorant.
I seem to recall you have refused to read certain Phoenix Journals in which the returned Master Jesus gave to this world. You remain stuck in superstition. Your ISSUE, not mine. But I am often moved to tears by what you post.
AbundantHope IS the 2nd Coming Organization and you refuse to take advantage of refreshed truth promised someplace in that bible even for the end of the age. Much of your bible is WRONG. As is the case of all information brought by the avatars to this world which is corrupted over TIME always, It never survives as given over thousands of years and always the ones of the time record it incorrectly out of ignorance, besides the issues of translation and purposeful deceit. I would be ready the Talmud of Immanuel and And they called His Name Immanuel if I were you. You would actually find the correct versions of the NT.
When you read them, then you can attempt to argue with me and NOT before.

Its really interesting to me how you would consider some "channeled message" over the actual history and testimony of Jesus Christ... I pray for you
Anonymous Coward 27222199
the actual history has been fraudulated. I chat with Jesus every single day and go to craft often for meetings. I also provide his words via telepathy but he has also provided them via radio signal in the PHoenix Journals.
Please explain to me those who believe in the rapture into the clouds, , how can your BODIES survive up there in those clouds? Jesus is returned in a semi physical body which also cannot walk up there in those clouds, as his body also requires oxygen.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

News has emerged Apple is geared to unveil its new and upgraded set top box for Apple TV at the WWDC this summer, but will withhold the 4K video streaming technology.
The next generation Apple TV is reportedly making its entrance at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in June this year, and speculations have emerged Apple's new revamped set top box won't be supporting 4K video streaming.

A former executive in the Church of Scientology claims the organization has framed him in response to his participation in the recent HBO documentary "Going Clear" which aims to exposes the religion's evils.
According to Gawker, two narcotics officers with the Burbank, California, police department showed up at Tom DeVocht's door, who makes an appearance in "Going Clear" which debuted on HBO last month, and claimed they received an anonymous tip that he was selling drugs in the area. The police even wielded what the publication describes as "dubious photographic evidence" of him engaging in illegal activity.
The incident occurred just five days after the premier of "Going Clear." The report states that Adam Baumgarten, one of the narcotics officers who showed up at DeVocht's door, showed him a picture that had been taken of him sitting in car holding a quart-sized plastic bag with something white inside. more >>
Rumors have emerged Microsoft has plans to release a black and white Xbox One platform with supposed leaked images of the console reportedly sporting zebra stripes.
With the eight console cycle currently occurring across all gaming platform brands, Microsoft has started rumors buzzing they will be releasing a new Xbox One that features black and white zebra stripes.
What is presumed to be leaked images of the prototype emerged online, and reports surfaced its black and white design isn't for aesthetic purposes alone.

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. — The MetroWest Regional Transit Authority (MWRTA) as well as state and local officials celebrated the groundbreaking for a new operations and maintenance facility, according to the Framingham Patch.
The new facility will allow the MWRTA to consolidate both fixed-route and paratransit services under one location as well as facilitate the connection between the transit authority and downtown Framingham. For the full story, click here.
At various times, the county paid too much when prices should have decreased, missed deadlines to seek damages from its contractor for alleged substandard performance and failed to accurately calculate the most basic of contract functions — cost of living adjustments.
The new contract, which begins July 1, enables city of Independence riders with disabilities who depend on paratransit services would only need to make one phone call to get transportation.
The driver was spotted driving poorly, before slamming his brakes, causing a 90-year-old passenger to fall to the floor. According to the arrest report, the driver's blood alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit.
CarFreeAtoZ plans trips in a manner similar to Google Maps or Mapquest, but it combines different transit options, such as walking, using the Metro and biking.
Models coming on the market or in development can climb stairs, turn tight corners, make their way over trails, and are lighter and easier to maneuver than earlier generations.
