The old version of Google Bookmarks was integrated with the web history and allowed you to bookmark previously visited pages with one click. Another feature that's missing from the new version is full-text search, since bookmarks have been converted to notes.
On the bright side, the new interface is more responsive, it uses "infinite scrolling" to display the bookmarks and the notes can be formatted using a rich-text editor. Google Toolbar 5 (IE-only) lets you save the selected text from a page, which appears highlighted every time you visit the page.

Environmental protection
Environmental protection has top priority at Munich Airport. The construction of an airport inevitably leads to interventions in the ecosystem of a region. Yet, Munich Airport is committed minimizing such impact. To this end it has created a department to handle ecological issues such as aircraft noise, air management, and energy supply or waste and water management. Munich Airport has set itself the goal of achieving its growth targets on a carbon-neutral basis by 2020 compared to the baseline year 2005.
Munich Airport's pro-environment strategy allows for the operation and development of the airport in a manner that effectively controls and contains environmental impact and complies with statutory regulations and environmental requirements. For example, Munich Airport generates more than half of the power needed in an on-site combined heat, power and cooling plant. The outstanding efficiency of this form of energy conversion allows the airport to save around 30,000 metric tons of carbon emissions annually.
As part of this project, Munich Airport is currently running 115 vehicles on a diesel / vegetable oil mix and a further 39 on bio-ethanol. The airport also classifies aircraft according to the noise levels measured during takeoff and landing operations. Aircraft in the lowest noise category pay landing fees eight times lower than those classed as the noisiest.
Luxurious VIP facilities are available at Munich Airport. The VipWing presents a unique blend of international ambience combined with traditional Bavarian hospitality. The bright, spacious rooms in the lounge have a total area of 1,200 square meters. Regardless of seating class or carrier, passengers at Munich Airport seeking individual and exclusive service can book and have access to a wide range of VIP services. Chauffeured limousines shuttle the guests in luxury from and to the aircraft. The lounge is staffed by multilingual representatives and offers airport guests all-round support. Personal assistants can organize all the traveler's flight-related processes and formalities such as immigration support, check-in, baggage-handling, tax refund and customs clearance while guests relax in the VIP Lounge. Facilities at the VipWing also include a fully equipped conference suite which may be booked in advance.
Inqueries and bookings: firstname.lastname@example.com
Meet & Assist Service
Passengers who desire a personal escort can pre-book Munich Airport's "Meet & Assist Service". With this service, staff of Munich Airport will accompany passengers at the airport and help them find their way. Whether upon arrival, before departure, or while waiting for a connecting flight, the service can be tailored to the passengers' individual needs. The service generally begins at the door of the aircraft or the entrance to the terminal. The guest is then accompanied through the various checkpoints (security, passport control and customs), to the connecting flight, the lounge or to the arrival area.

Milwaukee, WI (SportsNetwork.com) - The Milwaukee Brewers made a move towards bolstering their outfield depth at Thursday's non-waiver trade deadline, acquiring Gerardo Parra from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for a pair of minor league players.
The Brewers will send Double-A outfielder Mitch Haniger and Single-A pitcher Anthony Banda to the Diamondbacks for Parra, a two-time National League Gold Glove award winner who is hitting .259 with six home runs and 30 RBI in 104 games this season.
Through six big league campaigns -- all with Arizona -- Parra owns a .274 overall batting average with 39 homers, 250 RBI and 51 stolen bases.
"The addition of Parra gives us a veteran player who helps to balance our lineup and also brings Gold Glove defense," said Brewers general manager Doug Melvin.
Haniger, a supplemental first-round pick in the 2012 MLB Draft, entered this season ranked third among Brewers' prospects by Baseball America. The 23-year- old was hitting .255 with 10 homers and 34 RBI through 67 games at Double-A Huntsville.
Banda, a left-hander who turns 21 on August 10, was 6-6 with a 3.66 ERA and two saves over 20 appearances (14 starts) for Wisconsin of the Midwest League. Milwaukee selected him in the 10th round of the 2012 Draft.
Outfielder Logan Schafer was optioned to Triple-A Nashville to open a spot for Parra on the active roster.

SETH — A Racine girl is closing out a historic journey through six years of junior and senior high cheerleading at Sherman High School.
Rachel Harless, 18, has been described as a joy, a best friend and a special child by teachers, family and friends at Sherman. Most of all, folks agree that Harless is an inspiration to everyone her life touches.
Diagnosed with mild-to-moderate Down's Syndrome, Harless became a cheerleader as a seventh grader at Sherman Junior High in 2007. She has cheered on the Tide during every season since, culminating with her senior year in 2012-13 at Sherman Senior High.
Her mother, Sabrina, said Rachel chose to cheer for football and basketball games during her years of service. "Basketball is my favorite sport," she told a reporter last week as she prepared for the team's final home game. A large crowd turned out to honor the only senior member of the Tide cheering squad. In addition to the usual senior accolades, a banner hung on the gymnasium wall honoring her and WOWK-TV13 featured her on their Wednesday newscasts,
When the rising senior began her cheering career, she told The Coal Valley News she was less concerned about her ground-breaking intentions and more focused on perfecting her cheers and practicing her toe touches. Sherman fans universally agree that she has achieved her goals and has been one of the top mascots in the region and state.
During her cheering efforts, Harless has had the complete support of her teachers, family and friends.
"I wanted her to do it," said mother Sabrina. "I felt it would help develop social skills and it certainly has done that. We're all very proud of her."
Sherman teacher Kendalyn Mann, who has coached Harless and her teammates, said she worked with special needs students for about 30 years, She said Harless is the first and thusfar only special needs cheerleader in Boone school history. She said she has worked with Harless since she was three years old.
Her father Tim, who operates an insurance agency, is looking forward to Rachel serving as his office manager after she graduates in the spring. But before that happens, his daughter and family planned to be in Beckley this week as Rachel's favorite team continues its post-season run in Class A.
Brittany Brewer, a fellow student with Rachel since kindergarten, said, "She just has a way of making everyone feel happy."
Her father summed up his life with Rachel simply, "They say God will give special people a special child," he said. "I don't have any idea why we'd be special, but I do know Rachel is a special blessing we received,"
Cathy Chapman, another fellow student, described Harless as a "joy. Every day she yells 'hello' at me and I tell her she's my best friend."
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of an extra 21st chromosome, according to wikipedia.com. It is named after John Langdon Down, the British doctor who described it in 1866.

Comments about Mens Saucony Cortana 3 Running Shoe:
Great cushioning performance shoe! Toe box should be more squared to allow 1st metatarsal flex to be natural, not pushed inward. Big issue as one gets older as it adversely affects gait and stresses the medial ligaments of the knee. Another commented on his pairing with the Asics Gel Evate and Saucony Guide 7. Really? These are very different platforms and the Evate has 2 additional mm of EVA and drop. The Guide is an 8mm drop which is double the Cortana and is a very different design. He also compared the Cortana with Brooks Pure Flow. The Pure series is minimalist. The Cortana is not! The entire Pure series allows the first metatarsal to flex naturally and more easily than the Cortana. In short, his review compares shoes that are very different, thus, all one can take away is his preference. At 5'10" 180lbs, he is heavy for a runner, not for an athlete. Athletes like an array of shoes. Runners like an array of shoes that meet the need and do not vary much in drop as this ensures Achilles health vs. increasing the risk of Achilles injuries.
Best Uses
Comments about Mens Saucony Cortana 3 Running Shoe:
I use this shoe for speed work and interval training 6x a week however I feel it has enough support for longer runs if that's your intentions. I pair these up with the Asics Gel-Evate (another good shoe)for longer runs.
Best Uses
Comments about Mens Saucony Cortana 3 Running Shoe:
I currently had the Version 2 which was one of the best shoes I have ever had, However, the Cortana 3 was a let down. They tried to make the shoe lighter and in doing so the shoe lost its integrity. In less then two months my shoe was stretched out and worn.
Best Uses
Comments about Mens Saucony Cortana 3 Running Shoe:
As much as I love the Kinvara my body couldn't handle them - I battled continuous injury for the two years I ran in them. After considering going back to Asics I tried the Cortana after reading a review of them. They have been a god send. Great fit, plenty of cushioning and breathability, and lightweight. Highly recommend these to anyone wanting a great long distance runner.
Best Uses
Comments about Mens Saucony Cortana 3 Running Shoe:
I've used lots of different brands before getting this shoes. This is the only brand i will wear moving forward. I am going to purchase a new pair every year moving forward. Great looking shoe. Love the style. I was running in them outside and in the gym and its perfect. Feels good ... very stable and very light.
Best Uses
Comments about Mens Saucony Cortana 3 Running Shoe:
The shoe is very lightweight. The first time I tried them on the felt a little snug in the toe box. I was optimistic and went for a 4 miler. The tightness never went away and my toes went numb during the run. I don't want to slam the shoe but if any of the reviews mentioned the narrow fit I would've avoided it.
Best Uses
Comments about Mens Saucony Cortana 3 Running Shoe:
I have enjoyed the evolution of the Cortana model since launch. This update is fantastic. For us +/-180lbs mid foot strikers, who will not, should not or cannot go to the NEWTON line, and want a cushioned yet lightweight trainer this is a great option. Not only did the shoe get better fit, cushioning all around; but it also lost weight. The forefoot sole section (not the toe box mind you) is also a bit narrower making for a more racer feel without any protection compromises. I really like the snug fit at the collar and lightweight bouncy response I get when i used them through interval training & tempo runs. This version's styling makes no apologies for being in your face...cuz they deliver the goods.
Comments about Mens Saucony Cortana 3 Running Shoe:
I could not be more happier with this new version of the Cortana. I had some durability issues with the uppers on the previous version and hopefully the tweaked uppers on the new version have addressed it. The shoes feel great right out of the box. I'm a forefoot striker and I'm amazed with the cushioning these have relative to weight and flexibility.

Written with input from child psychologists, the Hand-in-Hand series of books helps children navigate their way successfully through various key developmental experiences of childhood. Caillou is feeling very proud: he knows how to use the potty just like grown-ups and has graduated out of diapers, except for at night. Even though Caillou really wants to use the big toilet all the time, sometimes he's just too sleepy to wake up. Daddy gives Caillou a step stool and a soft toilet seat to make it easier for him to use the big toilet. He understands how much Caillou would like to be out of diapers and that with time and patience, Caillou will succeed.

It could be the beginning of a building boom in Bryan as Gunler Foods continues construction on a $15 million bottling plant that will initially mean 65 new jobs.
News 3 took a look at Bryan's Economic Development and why city officials say it's a sign of more to come.
It's a building blitz and signs of a growing economy in Bryan.
Construction started in September but Gunler Foods is already leaving a mark here in the Texas Triangle Park of north Bryan.
The Mexico-based company is opening their first manufacturing plant stateside.
In the coming years they expect to employ almost 250 people.
Dennis Goehring is the Executive Director of the Bryan Business Council and says Gunler's edible cooking oils, their bottling for it and paper products will be made here before being shipped south.
"The vendor of course is Walmart and that will all go to Walmart, which will then be shipped to Mexico and central Mexico and South America," Goehring explained.
Construction is on track to finish up by April and when that happens Gunler will be the first business to set up shop here at Texas Triangle Park.
"We anticipate a lot of production and a lot of employment," added Goehring.
The City of Bryan is also supporting a $1.7 million rail spur that will connect the park down to the Port of Houston.
Bryan Economic Development Director Kevin Russell believes geography will invite more industry.
"One of the reasons I think companies are looking at Bryan is because of where we're located between Houston, Austin, San Antonio and Dallas- Fort Worth. And it makes it easy for them to go any direction," said Russell.
"Texas is a vibrant place to come to," said Goehring.
Once online we're told the jobs at Gunler will average at least $30,000 and that's not the only new business.
Much lesser ones are going up as well.
A Chick's Restaurant and gas station as well as a new hotel are under construction at Highway 6 and Briarcrest and should open this summer.
Meanwhile a new Hilton Garden Inn is being built off University Drive in east Bryan too.
Woodbolt International in Downtown Bryan plans to relocate and expand to the Biocorridor and will soon break ground on a $9 million facility that will bring an additional 75 employees to their company.

Some iPad 2 users reporting yellow tint, will likely fade soon
A few iPad 2 owners have written in to tell us they are experiencing yellow tinting issues on their brand new devices. This seems rather reminiscent of this past summer and the yellow tint issue with the iPhone 4.
If history is set to repeat itself, it seems as if this issue will resolve itself the same way it did last summer -- the bonding agent Apple has been using on their displays will set and the yellow tint will fade away. Most users with the issue on the iPhone 4 were yellow tint free after a few days.
Any TiPb readers out there seeing a yellow tint on their display?

Some iPad 2 users reporting yellow tint, will likely fade soon
Its not yellow tint. Its backlight bleed and has nothing to do with glue. Almost all the people with the problem have it in the same place, me included. And from the display being pinched in the area around the home button/speaker. You can tell because it gets worse if you push down in that area or as the whole unit flexes.
Im thinking apple may have given up a bit of structural integrity in order to make it this thin.
I already swapped one iPad 2 put due to a light leak. The next one has the same problem. Both were 64GB wifi only in black.
No yellow tint on my white 32gb!! Loving it by the way!!
It's not glue. The display isn't bonded like the iPhone 4. QC issues indeed.
No problems here.
Uh oh, here comes "lightgate" and "yellowgate" 2011. Jk
This is why I always wait at least a month before buying a new product. These problems sound more like QC than design flaws, and I'm sure Apple will make adjustments in production. A little patience is a good thing. If you just shift your purchasing time a bit, you'll still own your devices just as long and get just as much use out of them. Being first is the job of reviewers.

When it comes to safety and innovative engineering, Britax is recognized as a global leader in car seat manufacturing. With over 30 years of experience, Britax is the best selling child seat in England, Europe, and Australia. Introduced in America only ten years ago, Britax has quickly developed a strong following among U.S. moms and dads, who appreciate the company's dedication to safety and quality.
Headquartered in the United Kingdom, Britax maintains research and manufacturing facilities in the U.K., Germany, Australia, and the U.S., as well as subsidiaries and sales offices around the world. Britax is the only child restraint manufacturer with its own five crash test sleds equipped with state-of-the-art technology, allowing the company to certify to global government requirements and perform continuous testing of its seats. This world-class engineering has enabled Britax to develop some of the industry's most highly praised safety innovations, such as the patented Versa-Tether seat anchoring system. While most car seats only provide tethering in the forward-facing position, Britax's Versa-Tether allows rear-facing as well as forward-facing tethering for maximum seat stabilization. To help ensure that parents use Versa-Tether properly, Britax goes one step further by including a rear-facing tether connector strap to help create a suitable anchor point for all of their Versa-Tether enabled seats. Plus, for owners of vehicles manufactured prior to 2001, tether anchorage hardware is available upon request - at no cost - by contacting Britax consumer services. Another example of Britax's dedication to excellent customer service is their Crashed Restraint Exchange program, which allows parents to exchange their child restraints that have been involved in a severe crash and receive a new seat free of charge.
From rear-facing infant seats to belt-positioning boosters, Britax offers an entire line of child safety seats to meet the needs of your growing child. Recently, Britax edited its product offerings to make it easier for customers to find the perfect seat. The Companion is Britax's rear-facing only seat, designed to double as an infant car seat and baby carrier. The Companion supports babies from 4 to 22 pounds and is compatible with Britax strollers to create a travel system. Britax offers several convertible car seats, including the Roundabout, which has been a best seller since it came on the U.S. market. The Roundabout seats children from 5 to 33 pounds in the rear-facing position and then converts to a forward-facing seat for children one year old and 20 pounds up to 40 pounds. Britax's other convertible seats, the Marathon, Decathlon, and Boulevard, all have an increased weight limit - up to 65 pounds - and offer additional options and comfort features. With the Regent, Britax provides a youth car seat to keep toddlers secured in a five-point harness restraint up to 80 pounds.
Like a luxury automobile, Britax marries service, safety, and style. In fact, high-end automakers Porsche and Mercedes Benz recognize the quality, comfort, and elegance built into every Britax seat and exclusively sell Britax Car Seats to their customers. Plain and simple, car seats save lives - and Britax's continued innovation and technical excellence ensure that their products are produced to the highest quality. It's no wonder Britax seats are consistently rated highly by consumer advocates and parents alike. For more information on the Britax seats offered by BabyEarth, click any of the links in the guide below.
Britax Car Seat Comparison Guide
*Safety experts recommend children remain in rear-facing car seats until at least 1 year old AND 20 pounds, or until the seat's height and weight limits are reached.

Event at mall hopes to raise awareness of trafficking in ToledoWritten by Bailey G. Dick | | firstname.lastname@example.com
It may be hard for many Toledoans to think of their hometown as a hub for human trafficking, but a group of area activists are aiming to make a local epidemic more public.
The city of Toledo ranks fourth in the nation in human trafficking arrests, investigations and victim rescues, according to a 2009 report.
The Lucas County Human Trafficking Coalition, Toledo Area Ministries and Second Chance are teaming up to present "Shine a Light on Human Trafficking," the second annual Human Trafficking Awareness and Prevention Day.
The coalition chose to present the free event at Franklin Park Mall to connect with as many people as possible.
"We can reach a lot of people at the mall," said Tasha Perdue of the Lucas County Human Trafficking Coalition.
The event will feature speakers from local organizations, as well as national activists.
Local speakers include Jeff Wilbarger of The Daughter Project, a group home for trafficking survivors, Mary Schmidbauer of Second Chance, which provides social services for survivors, and Perdue.
The keynote speaker for the event is Theresa Flores, a victim advocate and human trafficking survivor. A Detroit native, Flores was trafficked for two years starting at the age of 15. She went on to become a licensed social worker and founded an organization to raise awareness about human trafficking.
Display boards will also educate passing shoppers who may not be attending the session with the speakers.
Perdue said that the main goal of the event is to raise awareness among Toledoans.
"We don't want to imagine that this is happening here, but ignoring the problem isn't going to make the issue go away," Perdue said. "It is affecting our youth."
"Shine a Light on Human Trafficking" will take place Jan. 18, at Franklin Park Mall. The speaker session will take place from noon to 2 p.m. inside the Cinemark movie theaters on the second level of the mall near the Elephant Bar restaurant. Information tables near the mall's food court will be set up from noon to 5 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
For more information, contact Celeste Rollins at (419) 309-7223.

Health systems service delivery
People-centred and integrated health services are critical for reaching universal health coverage.
People-centred care is care that is focused and organized around the health needs and expectations of people and communities, rather than on diseases. Whereas patient-centred care is commonly understood as focusing on the individual seeking care (the patient), people-centred care encompasses these clinical encounters and also includes attention to the health of people in their communities and their crucial role in shaping health policy and health services.
Integrated health services encompasses the management and delivery of quality and safe health services so that people receive a continuum of health promotion, disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment, disease-management, rehabilitation and palliative care services, through the different levels and sites of care within the health system, and according to their needs throughout the life course.
WHO is supporting countries in implementing people-centred and integrated health services by way of developing policy options, reform strategies, evidence-based guidelines and best practices that can be tailored to various country settings.

In case you missed it, diplomats from around the world joined together in Half Moon Bay this week for the World Ocean Summit. The second annual Summit hosted by the Economist and National Geographic provides delegates the opportunity to better understand the risks brought about by ocean degradation and shape debate about governance of the ocean. In this forum, featured speakers discuss the global ocean sustainability initiative and capitalize on unique driven dialogue to make a difference. Among the featured speakers list included John Kerry (United States Secretary of State), HSH Prince Albert II (Principality of Monaco), Anibal Cavaco Silva (President of the Portuguese Republic), Leon Panetta (former United States Secretary of Defense) - just to name a few.
After the Summit, Portuguese President Silva invited around 40-local Portuguese-Americans to join him and his wife at the Fairmont in San Francisco. He wanted a chance to thank local leaders for their continued work in the Portuguese community. Due in part to his large initiative on organizing the San Jose Earthquakes Portuguese Heritage Night, Quakes Account Executive Taylor Amarante was among the 40 invited to the exclusive event. The President is keen on keeping young Portuguese-Americans involved in their heritage while keeping up with the evolving times. Silva was impressed with the work that the Earthquakes did to put on the 2013 Portuguese Heritage Night with over 1100 Portuguese fans that attended.
Being the world's game and uh, having mingled with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, the President had a few words to say about soccer and MLS. Of course, we had to give him some new Quakes swag to add to his collection too.
So, President Silva - feel free to rock that new Quakes scarf at our next Portuguese Heritage Night on August 16 when we host FC Dallas at Buck Shaw Stadium.
Looks like new homegrown player Tommy Thompson has a bunch of tricks up his sleeve...

North Phuket : Kitchens
First time expats who move to Phuket quickly learn the term "Western kitchen" when house or condo hunting. Western kitchens in Phuket usually mean a small fridge, a two burner stove top and a sink that is located inside the home or condo.
The next visit usually leads to a kitchen designer or supplier and in Phuket there are plenty to choose from.
Prices vary tremendously and this depends on whether one chooses granite or laminated countertops, basic appliances or high-end imported designer stoves and refrigerators.
Professional kitchen suppliers provide designers, contractors and all labor for homes and businesses.

Montgomery County Police are hopeful witnesses will step forward to help identify those involved in a fight at a Gaithersburg restaurant early Sunday.
One man was shot, five young adult men were stabbed, one woman received a laceration, and one man was punched with a blunt object during a fight that erupted between nearly 100 people outside a Rapper Karaoke Night at New Red Rock Café, police said.
The man who was shot and the men who were stabbed were taken to the hospital, all with non-life-threatening injuries, while the woman who was injured drove herself to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, said Montgomery County police spokeswoman Lucille Baur.
So far, none of the people who were injured have been cooperative with police in identifying those responsible for the fight, Baur added.
"We are hoping to be able to have an opportunity to speak more with the shooting victim and to just try to make a determination if any of our victims, now that time has passed since the initial trauma, if they have any information," Baur said Monday. "... This isn't going to be easy; this isn't going to be quick, so we're just working very carefully."
At least one man who was present when the fight started, café owner Gurcharan Singh, has spoken to police about what happened, but in the confusion of the fight the details remain sketchy.
"It happened at about 1:34 [when] there were two ladies in the restaurant fighting," Singh said. "And in about 45 seconds I turned on the lights and told everybody 'You have to go; go outside, please' and then everybody was outside in the parking lot. I didn't see anything after that until I noticed a lot of police cars and flashing lights in the parking lot."
While Singh was pleased with his business before Sunday, all future concerts and music venues were canceled by Monday morning and the café will remain closed for two weeks, Singh said. After two weeks, Singh said he plans to reopen the space as an Indian restaurant.
Both Gaithersburg and Montgomery County police responded to the restaurant, 385 Muddy Branch Road, Baur said.
The fight started between female patrons inside the restaurant; several men quickly joined in and the fight escalated and moved into the parking lot, Baur said. Police established a perimeter and broke up the fight, she added.
"There was a significant amount of drinking that occurred and it erupted into violence," Baur said. "Fortunately, no one was seriously injured, but it is still a very active investigation."
The restaurant is open until 2 a.m. Saturdays. It had highly advertised the Rapper Karaoke Night, and attracted people from outside of Montgomery County, such as Prince George's County and Washington, D.C., Baur said.
Police currently have no one in custody and would like anyone who witnessed the fight to call the 5th/6th district station at 240-773-6237. Those who wish to remain anonymous can call Crime Solvers of Montgomery County toll-free at 866-411-TIPS. Crime Solvers will pay a cash reward of as much as $1,000 for information provided to them that leads to an arrest and/or indictment for this crime. Anonymous tips also can be provided by typing "MCPD" plus the tip on a cell phone or PDA and texting it to 274637 (CRIMES).

Jeffords service honors his humanityBy Kevin O'Connor
Staff Writer | August 23,2014Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo
The folded flag that draped the coffin of former U.S. Sen. James M. Jeffords is presented to his children, Laura and Leonard Jeffords, during the funeral service Friday at Grace Congregational United Church of Christ in Rutland.As the children of former U.S. Sen. James Jeffords listened to speaker after speaker laud their father at his funeral Friday, they knew a few things were left unsaid.
"My dad enjoyed a lot of simple things in life," interjected his son, Leonard.
Take his tractor. His dogs. His favorite sandwich: peanut butter, lettuce and mayonnaise.
"I know," his daughter, Laura, responded to the collective groans and grimaces.
Jeffords' political career spanned four decades, including his election to the Vermont Senate in 1966, the attorney general's office in 1968, the state's lone congressional seat in 1974 and the U.S. Senate in 1988. But the man who climbed to the loftiest rungs of the political ladder was eulogized as, first and foremost, a down-to-earth father and friend.
"One of my earliest memories was when I was 5 and he was my hockey coach," Leonard Jeffords said. "He couldn't skate. But he always tried to be there for us."
U.S. Sens. Patrick Leahy and Bernard Sanders and U.S. Rep. Peter Welch joined a slate of Vermont dignitaries, former congressional staffers and several hundred locals for a 1½-hour service at Grace Congregational United Church of Christ in Rutland.
The sanctuary — where James Jeffords went to Sunday school as a child — was the same place that hosted past memorials for his wife, Liz, and his predecessor in the U.S. Senate, fellow Rutlander Robert Stafford.
Although many in the crowd attended all three, Friday's program was unique from the moment the choir sang its first note to the pluck of a banjo (on folk musician Pete Seeger's "To My Old Brown Earth.")
Jeffords' children skipped repeating their father's public résumé and instead offered private remembrances.
"My father hated green bean casserole," Laura said. "Because when he married my mom, that is all she knew how to cook. My father loved to chop wood, and he thought Leonard and I did, too. My father had two left feet. And so he danced with Liz, and it was magic."
Leonard recounted how their father took time to be a dad. The family played cards, Monopoly, Risk and, every April Fool's Day, practical jokes. Take the year they faked the theft of his tractor.
"Jim, I can't talk right now," Leonard recalled his mother saying on the phone, "the state police are here."
Former classmate George Hansen said he not only had known Jeffords since age 4 but also introduced him to Liz.
"From Jimmy to Jim to Gentleman Jim to Jeezum Jim," Hansen said, "we say, 'Well done, classmate, well done, best friend, well done, good and faithful servant.'"
Former Gov. James Douglas, seated with peers including predecessor Howard Dean, noted Jeffords helped adopt the state's ban on billboards and worked with the Legislature to draft the Act 250 land-use law and bottle-deposit rules.
"I often wonder what Vermont would look like today," Douglas said, "without the efforts of Jim Jeffords."
Douglas acknowledged that, as a Republican, he disagreed with Jeffords' historic 2001 departure from the party to become an independent, which tipped control of the 50-50 U.S. Senate to the Democrats.
"But I knew as a Vermonter," Douglas said, "his commitment to us was as strong as ever."
Jeffords' former aide Mark Powden said his boss didn't have separate public and private faces.
"Lord knows on more than one occasion we wished there were two Jim Jeffords," Powden said of the man whose mix of eagerness and anxiousness often hampered him from offering clear, concise quotes.
But Jeffords could speak volumes with a smile, added his children, who savored his rejoicing over 9-year-old grandson Patton and 7-year-old granddaughter Hazel.
"That's perhaps my fondest memory of my dad," Leonard said. "That's how I will remember my father."

One of the leaders for the Lady Green Wave basketball team will take her talents to Erskine College.
Summerville High School graduate Zuri Green was joined by teammates, coaches, family and friends Monday at the Green Wave gym to celebrate her signing with the Erskine Womens Basketball Team.
I like that Erskine is small and everyone there seems to be together, Green said. Ive been to a lot of campuses to visit and play with teams but something just seemed to click with Erskine. Everything kind of came together. Everyone on the Summerville team had a good bond so Im looking forward to developing a bond with my new teammates.
Green was a three-year letterman for the Lady Green Wave and a two-year starter. She was also a standout on the Lady Green Wave volleyball team. She received multiple all-region honors for both sports.
Last season, Green averaged 12 points, seven rebounds and 1.5 steals per game.
Her senior year she was among the leaders in both points and rebounds not only for our team but for the Lowcountry, Summerville coach Matt Legare said. She is a very solid basketball player who was basically our rock for our last two region runs. We will miss her leadership as well as her points and rebounds. She is a great kid to coach.
Erskine will likely use Green as both a small forward and shooting guard.
She has good size and athleticism, Legare said. She can shoot the 3 and she is a good student. She is very coachable so she will continue to improve and add some elements to her game at the college level. I think Erskine is a good fit for her.
Green hasnt decided on a major yet, but is leaning toward biology or another medical-related field.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell and Sen. Rand Paul are looking to fast track permitting with new legislation introduced on Monday which would reduce government oversight of the coal industry, despite overall growth in Central Appalachia coal mining jobs.
U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell introduced the bill Tuesday, which targets the Environmental Protection Agency's coal-mining permit approval process. McConnell says the EPA is negatively impacting coal-mining jobs in Kentucky.
Last week, McConnell announced his plans to introduce the Coal Jobs Protection Act during stops in Pikeville and Hazard. The measure is cosponsored by Paul and was also introduced in the House of Representatives by Rep. Shelly Capito (R-W.Va.).
According to officials with McConnell's office, for each of the 14,000 people directly employed by the coal industry, three more Kentuckians hold jobs indirectly dependent on coal.
In 2012, total coal production in Kentucky declined by over 16 percent, while direct employment from coal fell by over 22 percent. McConnell said. He added that coal production in the region is down by nearly 28 percent, the lowest level, he says, since Lyndon Johnson was president.
McConnell says Eastern Kentucky has suffered the most.
"I think it's clear what this administration's true goal is," McConnell said. "It's not to see the coal industry actually comply with so many unreasonable regulations and red tape. It's to see the coal industry driven out of business altogether. The EPA has turned the coal permitting process into an illegitimate, back-door means to shut down coal mines permanently by sitting on permits indefinitely and removing any certainty from the regulatory process.
"The Coal Jobs Protection Act, which I introduced today and cosponsored with my good friend, Sen. Rand Paul, will be our best weapon of defense to protect the thousands of jobs targeted by this administration and its war on coal."
However, a report last month by Appalachian Voices says that despite a decline in production, there is actually more employment in the coal industry than there was 12 years ago. An increase in coal exports and harder-to-reach coal seams with more labor intensive deep mining, as opposed to surface mining, are cited as being largely responsible for the simultaneous decrease in production while increasing jobs. Matt Wasson, director of programs at Appalachian Voices, cited data from the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration, which found that the average number of coal mining jobs during the Obama Administration was 15.3 percent higher than in the Bush Administration.
"These numbers show pretty clearly that the purported 'war on coal' is an utter fabrication," Wasson said in the report. "Even as this administration and the Environmental Protection Agency are making some important steps toward controlling coal pollution — from mining, burning, and burying the waste — the job numbers nationwide have been growing."
According to federal data cited by Wasson, job growth in mining is particularly evident in Central Appalachia, where mine-related jobs have increased from 28,552 in 2000 to 33,029 in 2012, up 16 percent, despite coal production decreasing from 264 million short tons in 2000 to 147 million short tons, or 44 percent, during the same span.
On Tuesday, however, Wasson told Times staff that those numbers shouldn't necessarily be applied to Eastern Kentucky, saying, "Eastern Kentucky is the worst situation in the country of any place I know."
Kentucky is facing enormous problems, Wasson says, but adds that the problem is not due to EPA restrictions, calling such reports an "absolutely fictitious diagnosis of the problem."
According to Wasson, the problem facing Kentucky is that 100 percent of coal produced in Kentucky is burned in U.S. power plants, mostly in the southeast.
"Natural gas prices in that part of the country are out-competing coal by a long shot, and likely to do so for the foreseeable future," Wasson said. "(There is) nothing that the EPA or any other agency is doing that will meaningfully change that dynamic."
McConnell continues to assert that the EPA and the Obama Administration are targeting coal-producing communities and are behind the disappearance of coal jobs.
The Coal Jobs Protection Act, if passed, will require the EPA to approve or veto 402 permit applications within 270 days of application. If the EPA doesn't act by that time, the permit would be automatically approved. The CJPA would allow the EPA only 90 days after they receive a 404 permit application to begin the approval process for that application. It also gives the president a year to conduct an environmental assessment. Failure to act within that timeframe for approval of a 404 permit would mean the application is approved, the permit is issued, and the permit can never be subject to judicial review.
Wasson says he has not yet read the bill. "My understanding is that it is more or less precisely the same as last year's bill, less about the content and more about being a false solution to the problem. It's about politics. It's about getting re-elected in 2016."
The legislation has drawn support from the state, including the Kentucky Farm Bureau and the Kentucky Coal Association. KCA president Bill Bissett said his group strongly endorses the measure. "Sen. McConnell's proposed legislation would address many of the issues that have unfairly plagued the Kentucky coal industry under EPA's recent implementation of the Clean Water Act permit programs.
"Passage of the bill would compel EPA to exercise its authority consistent with the rights of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, its local governments and the private sector including the Kentucky coal industry."
The CJPA bills, were filed Monday May 6 in the both the Senate (S.861) and House (H.R.1829). The House bill has been referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, while in the Senate it has been referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.

From the IRS
The IRS issued question-and-answer guidance for distinguishing between tips and service charges for FICA tax purposes, the credit under Sec. 45B for the excess employer Social Security tax an employer pays on tips, and the rules for employer reporting of tips under the notice and demand provisions of Sec. 3121(q) (Rev. Rul. 2012-18).
To determine whether a payment is a tip or a service charge, the IRS cites the factors in Rev. Rul. 59-252. Service charges are characterized as wages for FICA tax purposes. To be a tip:
If any of the above factors is missing, there is doubt that the payment is a tip. Nonetheless, all the surrounding circumstances must be considered.
Rev. Rul. 2012-18 contains an example illustrating the distinction: A restaurant policy of automatically adding an 18% charge to the bill of parties of six or more is a service charge, whereas a bill with sample calculations of different tip amounts (e.g., 15%, 18%, or 20%), where the actual tip line is left blank, is a tip.
The rest of the questions and answers in the revenue ruling address various issues of tip reporting, including:
According to a Memo to the Field issued on June 7, 2012 (SBSE-04-0612-057), Rev. Rul. 2012-18 is effective immediately and retroactively. However, because the tip versus service charge part of the ruling described above may require businesses to change their automated or manual reporting systems to comply, the IRS announced that its examiners were being instructed, in limited circumstances, to apply the rules prospectively to amounts paid on or after Jan. 1, 2013. In Announcement 2012-25, the IRS released the memo to the public and requested comments on the memo and whether additional time was needed to ensure that businesses' systems are compliant.

How'd Pettis look? Not watching prelims.
I'm so exited for this card. I've been drinking all day since the start of the FSU game so I hope I don't pass out before the main card.
Pettis is as solid a prospect as the UFC has right now in the lighter divisions, but they were really overhyping him in this fight and called the fight as a lot more of a runaway than I think it really was, definitely could've seen Campuzano getting either the 2nd or 3rd or maybe even both. I scored it for Pettis, but he's still raw as heck.
Kim Winslow with another ludicrous, incompetent move with that standup mid arm triangle setup.
I swear I think she's fucking with us at this point. Wow...
Dem legkicks.
Rick Story looked scary in that fight. Body shots, destroying a leg and not stopping oh my!
No point taken away for that 5 second fence grab?! Really? Kim is such a shitty ref. She didnt even give anything but a soft warning for the illegal upkick.

I was strolling through the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar, a crowded movable feast of everything from antiques to fake Rolex watches, when I saw her. Maybe I noticed her patchwork colored face and dark brown eyes because I was missing my puppy, as I often do when I'm on the road. Or maybe because the idea of a Westie pop portrait was so incongruous. Do they even have Westies in Thailand? Sweet brown mongrels are more the norm. I made a beeline to the artist's booth, and while Ton didn't speak English, he smiled when I showed him a picture of Ruby on my phone, and sold me his painting for $7 in Thai baht. He even signed it for me. I wondered where he had found his inspiration; I knew where I found mine.
