Capital loss
A capital loss occurs when a capital asset is sold at a loss.
Expanded Definition
On Federal income tax returns, on Schedule D, capital losses can be deducted from their in kind capital gains. Long term losses reduced long term gains; short term losses reduce short term gains.
If capital losses exceed capital gains, up to $3000 per year may be deducted from ordinary income. Any excess over $3000 may be treated as a capital loss carry over and deducted from future years' income until the total loss has been fully deducted.
Unlike capital gains, mutual fund investors do not receive notice of capital losses. Instead mutual fund losses are carried over by the fund and reduce future capital gains distributions until the loss is consumed.

Amanda Knox to face retrial after her acquittal is overturned by Italian supreme court
Related Articles
Published: 26 March 2013
Amanda Knox was today ordered to face a retrial for the murder of student Meredith Kercher in a shock court ruling.
Italian supreme court judges overturned the acquittal of Knox and her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito for the killing in Perugia in November 2007. Kercher family lawyer Francesco Maresca punched the air as the court's decision was read out. He said later: "Yes, this is what we wanted."
Meredith's sister Stephanie, 29, said the Kercher family, from Coulsdon, welcomed the retrial. "There are a lot of unanswered questions still," she said.
"We are very hopeful that it going back to court will help find those answers and find out the truth of what happened that night. While we are not happy about going back to court, and it will not bring her back, we have to make sure we have done all we can for her.
"We still have a long journey ahead and we are very grateful for the support of the public and in Italy — we just want justice for Mez." Ms Kercher, 21, was discovered semi-naked with her throat cut in the bedroom of her shared house in the Italian university town.
Knox and Sollecito were convicted of her murder and sexual violence in 2009 and received 26-year and 25-year jail terms respectively. They were cleared on appeal in 2011 after doubt was cast on DNA evidence.
Knox, 25, who is now living in Seattle, cannot be forced to appear in court and her lawyer said extradition could only be sought if the supreme court confirmed any conviction. It is thought that any extradition would be contested by the US under the "double jeopardy" rule as Knox has already been cleared of the charges. She also claimed she was beaten by Italian police.
Sollecito, 29, who is studying in Verona, has the right not to attend court but would be jailed if convicted.
Knox, who spent four years in jail in Italy, said it was "painful" to have the acquittal overturned but said she was "confident" that the truth would emerge. She said the prosecution case had been "repeatedly revealed to be completely unfounded and unfair". The retrial is unlikely to start until next year. Her lawyer Carlo Dalla Vedova said: "She thought the nightmare was over."
Knox, a student at Washington university, said: "I believe that any questions as to my innocence must be examined by an objective investigation and a capable prosecution.
"The prosecution responsible for the many discrepancies in their work must be made to answer for them, for Raffaele's sake, my sake, and most especially for the sake of Meredith's family. Our hearts go out to them.
"No matter what happens, my family and I will face this continuing legal battle as we always have, confident in the truth and with our heads held high in the face of wrongful accusations and unreasonable adversity."
Knox became known as "Foxy Knoxy" which was her school nickname and MySpace sign-on. A court in Rome ordered a retrial to be held in Florence after deciding that a review of all DNA evidence in the case was necessary. Knox and Sollecito had been cleared after doubts emerged over two samples linking them to the crime.
Sollecito's lawyer Giulia Bongiorno said: "It's not been easy from the start. We have had to climb a mountain, but we draw strength both from being innocent and from the fact the court's ruling today is not a guilty verdict. The retrial means the court has decided some details need to be reviewed. The battle continues."
Leeds university student Ms Kercher, who had been spending a year in Italy, was found dead in her bedroom with her neck slashed in the house she shared with Knox.
She had also been sexually assaulted, leading prosecutors to believe she had been the victim of a drug-fuelled sex game gone wrong.
Knox and Sollecito denied any wrongdoing. They said they were not in the apartment the night Ms Kercher died, though they acknowledged they had smoked marijuana and their memories were clouded. Ivory Coast drifter Rudy Guede was convicted in a separate trial of sexually assaulting and stabbing Ms Kercher and sentenced to 16 years.
Today's ruling came after the judges spent yesterday considering the case. What should have been a quick process of checking for technical and procedural errors descended into a battle between lawyers over the finer details.
However the judges were not ruling on the guilt or innocence of the defendants. Their sole task was to decide if the appeal trial was properly conducted. Prosecutor Luigi Riello had told the judges that Knox's successful appeal was a "violation of the law which must be annulled".
Francesco Maresca, a lawyer representing the Kercher family, said yesterday that the appeal court should also have ordered checks on other samples.

The 5 Elements of Effective Thinking presents practical, lively, and inspiring ways for you to become more successful through better thinking. The idea is simple: You can learn how to think far better by adopting specific strategies. Brilliant people aren't a special breed--they just use their minds differently.
"Thinking that could leads to change"
The Element shows the vital need to enhance creativity and innovation by thinking differently about human resources and imagination. It is an essential strategy for transforming education, business, and communities to meet the challenges of living and succeeding in the 21st century.
"Listening to Sir Ken"
The Elements of Style has long been a valued and beloved resource for all writers. Hailed for its directness and clever insight, this unorthodox textbook was born from a professor's love for the written word and perfected years later by one of his students: famed author E. B. White. Ever since its first publication in 1959, writers have turned to this book for its wise and accessible advice.
"Required Reading"
In his inimitably entertaining and wonderfully witty style, he takes apart famous phrases and shows how you too can write like Shakespeare or quip like Oscar Wilde. Whether you're aiming to achieve literary immortality or just hoping to deliver the perfect one-liner, The Elements of Eloquence proves that you don't need to have anything important to say - you simply need to say it well.
"Who knew rhetoric could be so much fun?"
More than a decade ago, The Gallup Organization combed through its database of more than one million employee and manager interviews to identify the elements most important in sustaining workplace excellence. These elements were revealed in the 1999 best-seller First, Break All the Rules. 12: The Elements of Great Managing is that management classic's long-awaited sequel.
"Love the book! Lot's of great advice!"
Sir Ken Robinson's groundbreaking book The Element introduced listeners to a new concept of self-fulfillment through the convergence of natural talents and personal passions. The Element has inspired people all over the world and has created for Robinson an intensely devoted following. Now comes the long-awaited companion, the practical guide that helps people find their own Element.
Elements of Wit is an engaging audiobook that brings together the greatest wits of our time, and previous ones from Oscar Wilde to Nora Ephron, Winston Churchill to Christopher Hitchens, Mae West to Louis CK, and many in between. With chapters covering the essential ingredients of wit, this primer sheds light on how anyone - introverts, extroverts, wallflowers, and bon vivants - can find the right zinger, quip, parry, or retort... or at least be a little bit more interesting.
"NO! quizzes? maybe in the written word"
A disciplined approach to investing, complemented by understanding is all you need to enjoy success. This practical guide explains what you really need to know and puts you on the right course for long-term success through all kinds of markets.
"required reading if you plan to retire one day"
Unmasking the Social Engineer: The Human Element of Security focuses on combining the science of understanding non-verbal communications with the knowledge of how social engineers, scam artists, and con men use these skills to build feelings of trust and rapport in their targets. The author helps listeners understand how to identify and detect social engineers and scammers by analyzing their non-verbal behavior.
"Referencing figures = useless audio book"
Layla Shaw is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life - no easy task for a 17-year-old who's pretty sure things can't get worse. Her impossibly gorgeous best friend, Zayne, is forever off-limits thanks to the mysterious powers of her soul-stealing kiss. The Warden clan that has always protected her is suddenly keeping dangerous secrets. And she can barely think about Roth, the wickedly hot demon prince who understood her in ways no one else could.
Kaitlyn Parker has no problem being the invisible girl, which is why she finds herself hiding in various cabinets and closets all over her college campus. Despite her best efforts, she can't escape the notice of Martin Sandeke - bad boy, jerkface bully, and the universe's hottest, wealthiest, and most unobtainable bachelor-who also happens to be Kaitlyn's chemistry lab partner.
"Funny, sweet, romance with a little heat"
Every choice has consequences - but 17-year-old Layla faces tougher choices than most. Light or darkness. Wickedly sexy demon prince Roth or Zayne, the gorgeous, protective Warden that she never thought could be hers. Hardest of all, Layla has to decide which side of herself to trust. Layla has a new problem, too. A Lilin - the deadliest of demons - has been unleashed, wreaking havoc on those around her, including her best friend.
Falcon Hyatt has a problem. For reasons unknown to him, he can wield all the elements, not only basics like fire and water but also those more advanced, like space and poison. Now the chaos element, the same one his parents' killer, Shal-Volcseck, wields, has awakened within him, with catastrophic results. To complicate matters, the Suteckh Empire has declared war on the capital cities of Va'siel. Now he must venture out into the world with his friends, Lao, Faith, and Aya, on a mission to stop the Suteckh from taking over Va'siel, and find his parents' killer.
"awsome idea! poor delivery."
In this engaging collection of essays, author and athlete John Jerome celebrates the simplicity and freedom of running. With contagious passion, he strips away fads and myths to offer basic guidelines for participants, from beginning joggers to those preparing for marathons. For years Jerome recorded his thoughts and experiences during his daily training. As he ran, he discovered not only physical benefits, but philosophical ones as well.
"I'm a sucker for anything about Running"
Seventeen-year-old Layla just wants to be normal. But with a kiss that kills anything with a soul, she's anything but normal. Half demon, half gargoyle, Layla has abilities no one else possesses. Raised among the Wardens - a race of gargoyles tasked with hunting demons and keeping humanity safe - Layla tries to fit in, but that means hiding her own dark side from those she loves the most.
"Awesome narrator! Love love Armentrout!"
Reporter Sam Kean reveals the periodic table as it's never been seen before. Not only is it one of man's crowning scientific achievements, it's also a treasure trove of stories of passion, adventure, betrayal, and obsession. The infectious tales and astounding details in The Disappearing Spoon follow carbon, neon, silicon, and gold as they play out their parts in human history, finance, mythology, war, the arts, poison, and the lives of the (frequently) mad scientists who discovered them.
"Excellent, if unfocused"
The world's most infamous hacker offers an insider's view of the low-tech threats to high-tech security. Kevin Mitnick's exploits as a cyber-desperado and fugitive form one of the most exhaustive FBI manhunts in history and have spawned dozens of articles, books, films, and documentaries. Since his release from federal prison, in 1998, Mitnick has turned his life around and established himself as one of the most sought-after computer security experts worldwide.
"Poor Narrator - ZZZZZzzzzzzz!"
The kingdom of Ile-Rien lies in peril, menaced by sorcerous threats and devious court intrigues. As the weak King Roland, flattered and misled by treacherous companions, rules the country, only his ruthless mother, the Dowager Queen Ravenna, guards the safety of the realm. But now rumors arise that Urbain Grandier, the dark master of scientific sorcery, has arrived to plot against the throne. And Kade, bastard sister of King Roland, appears unexpectedly at court. The illegitimate daughter of the old king and the Queen of Air and Darkness herself, Kade's true desires are cloaked in mystery.
"A Different Take on High Fantasy"

If my play style were a book, I think it would be something like "Three Hearts and Three Lions" or "The Princess Bride."
Started thinking about this because Josh in my group really liked "The Broken Sword" more than 3H&3L, and his play style is sorta similar. Mine is a bit more light-hearted and heroic, I think.

Ssssssh! Obama Quietly Rolls Out Program Similar To Arizona's SB1070 In Boston
Be vewy vewy qwiet. I'm hunting iwwegals
The Arizona law aimed at removing illegal immigrants has attracted attention and pitted the federal government against the state of Arizona.
But the Obama administration is quickly and quietly rolling out a program, started in Boston, that relies on the help of local police departments and is raising fears of racial profiling.
The program is called Secure Communities.
"(It) is our strategy to identify and remove criminal aliens," says Jim Martin, the deputy field director for Boston's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office. "We focus on those that pose the most danger to communities, to the general public."
The program will help the Obama administration reach its goal of deporting 400,000 immigrants this year. It depends on cities and towns funneling information on the people they arrest to immigration authorities, who check to see if they're violating immigration laws and might be deportable.
Well, well, well. That's interesting, very interesting (and all kudos to Obama for implementing this program). I guess it is A-OK for the federal government to ask local law enforcement to ask illegals for their papers, but not if a State is asking.
Meanwhile, the Senate has approved $600 million for border security, which sounds great on the outside, but, really won't do anything to stop the flow now. Certainly, it will take at least a year, if not more, to get all the border agents hired and deployed. How 'bout just send lots and lots of military personnel down to the border? And finish the physical fence?

1976 Ad Exec: Steve Jobs Is A "Joker"
35 years ago, a Silicon Valley advertising executive named Mike Rose sent a note to his business partner about "this joker" Steve Jobs who would be reaching out to him for a business proposition. Jobs and his partner Steve Wozniak were going to propose the ad guys print their first-ever Apple 1 computer manual "for nothing."
"This joker is going to be calling you. Somebody at Regis McKenna recommendd us. They are 2 guys — they build kits — operate out of a garage — want our catalog sheets. Want it for nothing."
"Wouldn't trust me. Told him we'd like to see what they've got — we'd estimate — then decide. Sounds flaky. Watch it! Mike"
Jobs ended up declining their offer for the production job because it was too high, but he and Wozniak seemed to do just fine anyway. Rose donated his letter to Stanford University in 1988.

Last week, we wrote about how Engadget got Chrome OS up and running on a Dell netbook using a USB flash drive. It looks like Dell didn't take long to get on board with the idea. In a post on the official Direct2Dell blog, a Dell staffer says he has released a custom USB key image that includes preliminary support for the Broadcom Wi-Fi adapter in the Inspiron Mini 10v.
You can download the image right from Dell's website, although you'll need a fast connection and a high-capacity USB drive to use it—the file size is a whopping 7.5GB. That's quite a bit larger than the 300MB Hexxeh build the Engadget guys played with.
The Direct2Dell blog post includes instructions for setting everything up, although it warns that the Broadcom Wi-Fi support is "highly experimental, untested, unstable." Detecting access points purportedly takes over 5-10 minutes, for instance, and both the Chrome OS connection manager and "underlying components" can crash. Folks who run into problems can always reboot and try again, though (rebooting involves pressing the netbook's physical power key, because Chrome OS currently lacks a reboot menu option).
By the way, you don't need to enter your Google account details to log into the operating system. The Direct2Dell post provides generic credentials to get you up and running: "dell" as the user name and (wait for it) "dell" as the user password. The root password is also "dell," if you feel like getting your hands dirty with some command-line shenanigans.

While Portland is a hotbed of design, development and marketing in the outdoor and apparel industry, one component of the process remains largely an overseas endeavor: manufacturing. In fact, all but about 2% of apparel sold in the U.S. is made overseas, according to the American Apparel & Footwear Association.
"All of our manufacturing is done overseas in China," says Daniel Clancey, founder of Homeschool Snowboarding, which makes outerwear and underlayers for the snowboarding set. A former designer for Columbia, the tattooed Clancey — laid-back in conversation yet laser focused on the business — has built annual sales for his company to just under $1 million over the past five years. "We searched for a long time before launching for a manufacturer in Oregon, but the reality is that it's just cost prohibitive for us."
Others, however, have been trying to make Made in the U.S.A. work for them. Rumors are swirling that Nike may be considering some manufacturing operations in Washington County, while Danner has always had at least some of its manufacturing done in the U.S. According to Taylor Towne, public relations coordinator for Danner's parent company, LaCrosse Footwear, between 30% and 40% of the company's products are made in the United States. That includes models from the Stumptown line made in collaboration with Beckel Canvas Products, a Portland company that's been making tents for more than 50 years.
"We definitely see the demand for that here and are bringing more and more into the Portland factory," she says.
Tiegs, who makes limited-edition jackets, funded WILD's most recent offering, the Burnside Alpha Jacket, through a successful $15,000 Crowd Supply effort that had customers pre-ordering jackets that will be ready to ship in August. For WILD, Tiegs had some of his initial products made overseas, but now they're produced locally even though the finished product can cost double what it costs to make overseas — or more. He says Asian manufacturers weren't that interested in small orders, and being close to his Newberg manufacturer gives him more control and direct involvement in the process. As with Danner's boots, Tiegs says the made-in-Oregon aspect of his products has huge appeal in Japan and other international markets.
"Everybody agreed that being made in Oregon was the biggest differentiator," says Tiegs, who hopes to receive a test order from one Japanese distributor he met during the PDC trip.
Now in her sixth year of business, Jennifer Ferguson has shifted the manufacturing for her sports-bra company, Handful, back to the U.S., as well. It was a move she made in 2013 to try and help support the local economy, but it's been a bumpy transition. To help start the move, Handful staged a Crowd Supply campaign, which raised just over $50,000. The company found a manufacturer in Salem and, even though costs rose, tried to make price increases as small as possible and absorb some of the margins without impacting customers.
Getting the quantity of products that Handful needed proved to be frustrating the first year of U.S. manufacturing, Ferguson says, but the company is adding another stateside manufacturer in Los Angeles this year, which she says should help smooth things out. It's a new relationship that she was able to build through a third-party production company that's tied closely to Portland's apparel cluster.
"Living right in the backyard of all these companies means that there are all these amazing resources here that you might not have access to otherwise," Ferguson says.

Pak allows 3 Hindu women to decide their own future
Islamabad: Three Hindu women, who were allegedly forced to convert to Islam and marry Muslims, were on Wednesday allowed by Pakistan`s Supreme Court to decide their own future and where they want to live.
A three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry asked Rinkle Kumari alias Faryal Bibi, Lata Kumari alias Hafsa Bibi and Asha Kumari alias Haleema Bibi to inform the court registrar`s office whether they want to live with their husbands or their families.
The bench ordered police to provide complete security to the women and warned that police officials would be held responsible for negligence if they were harmed.
The court said the women were old enough to make the right decisions for themselves.
The women were later taken to the registrar`s office for recording their statements.
The Supreme Court also directed authorities to submit a report in two weeks on the implementation of its orders in the case.
The parents of the three women expressed disappointment at the judgment, saying they had been denied justice.
The three women have been at the centre of a controversy over the alleged abduction and forcible conversion of Hindu girls and women in southern Sindh province.
In the case of 19-year-old Rinkle Kumari, rights groups and civil society activists have alleged that she was abducted by persons with links to Pakistan People`s Party parliamentarian Mian Abdul Haq alias Mian Mithoo.
Mithoo and his brother have been accused of kidnapping and converting several Hindu women in Ghotki area of Sindh.
Rights activists have alleged that these women were forcibly married to Muslim men.
Matters were further compounded when Rinkle made different statements during news conferences and her appearances in court. The apex court had earlier sent Rinkle and Lata Kumari to a women`s shelter in Karachi to give them time to decide about their future free from pressure.
The court gave its ruling today in response to a Constitutional petition filed by the Pakistan Hindu Council.
Ramesh Kumar, patron-in-chief of the Council, had approached the court to direct authorities to recover the three Hindu women.
Rinkle`s family has said that she was abducted and forced to convert and marry a Muslim man. A similar claim was made by Lata`s family.

- Record Label: Republic
- Release Date: May 15, 2012
- Summary: The third studio album for Lisa Marie Presley was produced by T-Bone Burnett and is her first on the Universal Republic label.
- Record Label: Republic
- Genre(s): Pop/Rock, Adult Alternative Pop/Rock, Alternative/Indie Rock, Contemporary Pop/Rock
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 4 out of 9
Mixed: 5 out of 9
Negative: 0 out of 9
Oct 15, 2012The result is an album that in one swoop restores contemporary significance to the Presley brand.
May 30, 2012This set's downbeat musings about life's foibles is ominously compelling.
May 15, 2012This is a stronger, more mature, and more effective work than one might have expected.
Jun 26, 2012The spell of this balmy Southern atmosphere is only broken when Presley drops the ball on the writing front... but otherwise this is an elegant, beautifully realised work. [Jul 2012, p.88]
Sep 28, 2012She's at her best on the lachrymose likes of "Close To The Edge" and "Just A Dream," less successful when angling for Grand Ole Opery classicism or-- as on "Un-Break"--flirting with funk-metal pop. [Nov 2012, p.81]
May 15, 2012Splitting the difference between hooky modern tunecraft and old-school hush, "Un-Break" is a high point, a track fans of Pink and her papa might all get behind.

Entering his fourth year with Mick Dennehy and his third year at Utah State is secondary coach Derrick Odum. Odum is no stranger to the state of Utah, having lettered for four years in football and two in baseball at Utah from 1988-92.
Odum spent the 1998 and 1999 seasons as the secondary coach at Montana after serving as a graduate assistant at Utah in 1996 and 1997.
At Montana he coached in the secondary and had all four of the backfield starters earn some sort of all-conference recognition in 1999. Safety Vince Huntsberger was the conference defensive player of the year, while Jason Miller and Damon Parker were second team choices and Calvin Coleman was an honorable mention pick.
In 1999, Montana was first in the league in pass efficiency defense.
Odum played cornerback at Utah from 1988-92 and also averaged 28.0 yards per kickoff return in 1992. He also was a centerfielder on the Ute baseball team for two seasons.
Odum, who was born April 22, 1970 in Baltimore, Md., and is married to the former Ania Homan. He earned his degree in political science at Utah in 1992 and is working on his master?s degree in sports psychology.
