Thursday, June 6, 2013
Peyton Johnson Moore, 9, son of Noah John Robert and Jennifer Leigh Moore of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, passed away on Tuesday, June 4, 2013. A Celebration of Peyton's Life will be held Saturday, June 8, 2013 in the Ministry Center of St. Andrews Church - Mount Pleasant, 440 Whilden Street, at 2 p.m. Inurnment will follow in Mount Pleasant Memorial Gardens. The family will greet friends in Sams Hall of St. Andrews Church - Mount Pleasant following the inurnment. Arrangements by J. HENRY STUHR INC. MOUNT PLEASANT CHAPEL.
Peyton was born September 10, 2003, in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, and was a student at Mount Pleasant Academy and formerly at The O'Quinn School in Mount Pleasant. He loved sports and being outdoors and was a member of The Mount Pleasant Track Club, the Charleston Running Club, Charleston Runs and USA Track and Field. Always wanting to encourage others, he was a supporter of the Injured Marines Semper Fi Fund, and when running, wanted to recognize those who were supporting any event. Not one to sit around, Peyton was also a member of the International Juggler's Association, the Cub Scouts, and was a strong athlete. He was a member of the Mount Pleasant Redskins Championship Football Team, qualified and competed in the USA Track & Field 2012 National Junior Olympic Championship, and was the number one Javelin Thrower in the State of South Carolina for 9 and 10 year olds. And, even at his young age, he was an inspiration by serving as a running coach for adults in Couch to 5k, tutored other students, and was the leading scorer on his basketball team this past year. Even with all of Peyton's love of sports from kayaking to swimming, boating to football, he also loved school and his teachers, making straight A's and holding perfect attendance. He was recognized for the Principle's Honor Roll. Peyton's family, however, was number one! He loved to be with his grandparents on their boat, swim off their dock, run with his dad, and camping and spending hours talking with his mama about life and love.
Peyton is survived by his parents, Noah and Jennifer Moore of Mount Pleasant, S.C.; his maternal grandparents, Stewart and Paula Johnson of Mount Pleasant, S.C.; his paternal grandmother, Phyllis Moore of Morehead, Ky..; and his aunts, Robin Donehue and her husband, Kevin of Morehead, Ky., Regina Stamper and her husband, Jeff of Morehead, KY, Joan Robinson and her husband, James of Indianapolis, Ind., and Rachel Ragland and her husband, Roy of Mount Sterling, Ky. He also is survived by a host of loving and adoring family members and friends. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Robert William Moore.
Memorials in Peyton's name may be made to Mount Pleasant Academy PTA Teacher's Fund, 605 Center Street, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464, or the Mount Pleasant Youth Track Booster Club, c/o Tami Dennis, 6 Yacht Harbor Court, Isle of Palms, SC 29451.
A memorial message may be sent to the family by visiting Stuhr's website at www.jhenrystuhr.com.

How does this work with the 2010 EU law that all cellphones post 2011 have a micro-USB charger, a law which supposedly Apple backed? This connector doesn't appear to be USB-based, but brainedspeculation> perhaps it is shaped similarly enough to accept micro-USB for charging only, and that is why Apple was so unaccountably fierce in promoting its own micro-USB standard a few months backbrainedspeculation>.
Yet more iPhone 5 micro dock connector rumors
A few months ago, iMore reported that the iPhone 5 would have a smaller dock connector, which was in turn backed up by leaked parts. Now, TechCrunch claims three sources in the manufacturing chain are anticipating a 19-pin port on the next iOS smartphone.
Of course, even if Apple includes an adaptor like they did with the recent MacBook Retina MagSafe, that could means headaches for accessory makers. But the old 30-pin dock has been around for awhile, and whenever Apple makes a jump to the next generation, it usually involves a clean break from the past.
Aside from the metric tonne of new features in iOS 6, there's really nothing official about the next-gen iPhone that we're expecting to see in the fall. With everything still under wraps and in pre-production, there's a lot that can change in the next couple of months. That said, I would be hesitant to call anything at this point "confirmed" -- the best we have a safe bet.
With a bit more room inside, what could Apple be including on the next iPhone? LTE? NFC? More battery to power the bigger screen? What would you guys like to see the extra room being used for?

Yet more iPhone 5 micro dock connector rumors
The EU regulation is met if an apapter is included or even exist i think. So apple now have this: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MD099ZM/A
Agree, every single Verizon LTE phone has horrible battery life, the phones are cool, but the LTE just destroys battery life.
I really hope the iPhone5 doesnt end up the same way.
If anyone can pull it off, its apple.
I want the extra space to be used for an overhauled battery that can last a day and a half easily. Also more RAM... like 1GB.
Middle of the "next" day. Not the same day.
I am not sure how I feel about the headphone jack being moved to the bottom.
Anyone who cares about audio quality uses a LOD anyway so having it on the bottom isn't much different.
Having the headphone jack at the bottom is perfectly fine. This way you can put your iPhone into your pocket upside-down, with the headphone cord facing up, and then when you take the phone out of your pocket, you can hold it right-side-up without the headphone cord looped out of the top of the phone, but more casually downward.
Right now with the headphone cord sticking out of the top, it feels a little awkward and I tend to fumble with the cord before i start using the phone.
No chance for a micro USB port like every smartphone in the world? Always the same orribile Apple port? For the new iPhone I hope on a bigger screen but also on a new design, not only a longest iPhone 4 as the actual rumours claims. And I agree about the battery, unuseful a bigger screen if you have a poor battery life.
And what about the software? iOS is old now :-( where are widgets? And animated icons like the WP7 Live Tiles?
Boo, I like audio and hdmi out, and I like to be able to dock in a stand. A standard USB port gives me none of those features. A dock port does. And with adapters for USB both included in the box and available online for pennies, I say let's not take a huge step back just because you like the ubiquity of USB and dont care about who loses.
If they're going to change docking connectors and not change to the micro-USB standard (like everyone else) i'd like to see them switch to a magnetic docking connector.
I'd rather have usb3 and line out and video out than be stuck with an old school USB2 connector.
agreed, the iPhone NAND flash speed is about 20 MegaBytes per second, whereas USB 2.0 is up to 60 MegaBytes.
One question i have, however, is if Thunderbolt has better Sustained transfer speeds? Try this: take a FireWire 400 attached hard drive, and an identical hard drive attached via USB 2.0. Copy a large file to one drive and time it to completion. Repeat the process on the other drive. FireWire will always compete first, specifically due to FireWire having a faster sustained transfer rate than USB 2.0.
This is mainly due to the fact that USB uses the CPU to handle the transfer, whereas FireWire used dedicated hardware to handle transfers. ThunderBolt vs USB 3, i believe, would be much the same.
Accessory makers can change. It's about time we do away with this awful dock connector. My iPhone connector doesn't work half the time from dirt and dust being stuck in it.
what Peter implied I'm blown away that some one able to get paid $8171 in 4 weeks on the computer. did you look at this website makecash16com

What an defensive, shitty display. And yet it's all excused, in his own mind and elsewhere, by the fact that he represents himself as some kind of victim of society. I have no idea whether he's really faced the social marginalization he says he has, but even if he has, it's no excuse to be a jerk. The mix of aggression and perceived victimhood is a dangerous cocktail. I'm trying not to comment on the geek thing here, but it has to be said that it seems like he often excuses his worst behavior because he identifies himself as part of an aggrieved subculture.
Incidentally, I just reject his thesis, that Tesla is somehow unknown. He may have been at one time. But that time is long past; he's appeared as a character in movies, been the subject of glowing magazine pieces, has had several books published about him in the last several years, was talked about reverently on MythBusters.... I think the secret is out. And for the record, I was taught about Tesla in high school.
Update: Commenter Mysterious Man from the Shadows makes a good point: the Oatmeal's creator compares Edison to Steve Ballmer of Microsoft. But in fact the far more apt comparison is to Steve Jobs.
Update II: I happened to check out the dude's Twitter feed, and he's continuing on with his denigration of Alex Knapp. He and his followers are saying two things at once: one, that he actually did factually rebut Knapp (which he most certainly didn't do) and two, that it's all just a joke, he's just a cartoonist, etc. etc. (You can tell from his tone that he's very clearly been gotten to.) The combination of the two are utterly self-defeating; if it's just a cartoon and all just jokes, how can he have rebutted anything? If expressing something in cartoon form means that it has no standards whatsoever, how can he claim to have rebutted Knapp at all?
I mean, why stop where he has stopped, if it's all games and jokes? Here, try this on for size: Tesla also invented Jelly Beans. And love. Plus Thomas Edison had sex with little boys. I mean what's the difference? Hey, we're all just joshing here! I'm gonna write a cartoon accusing the Oatmeal dude of murder. Who cares? He can't even write a real comeback. Remember, there are no facts in a cartoon.

Personally, I hate the 'it's okay to lie if you're joking' defense. The best comedians are servants of the truth. See e.g. Hicks, Carlin, Bruce.
The worst comedians are cruel bullies who pander to our worst impulses. See e.g. Lampanelli, Rickles, Larry the Cable Guy.

I think the whole "shitty" thing does not raise the level of discourse. Isn't this one of those "somebody is wrong on the internet" exchanges? I don't think either The Oatmeal or Alex Knapp are really changing our understanding of Tesla's place in history (no offense, guys)...

I swear, this guy "the Oatmeal" is making it harder and harder for me to continue to like Tesla.
Also, the analogy he makes to Steve Ballmer and Microsoft is interesting. I think of Edison as a Steve Jobs-like figure, and people *do* really praise him. (I'll stop short of re-using "the Oatmeal's" colorful phrasing of how people might treat Ballmer.)

What is it about Tesla that seems to drive people to hyperbolic extremes? No one just says "Tesla was more conscientious and more innovative than Edison, worked harder, and seems to have been cooler and more groovy," which would be a pretty defensible position. They all say "Tesla was the Messiah and Edison raped babies"; it's weird. Is it that everything has to be a hero-villain narrative?

What is it about Tesla that seems to drive people to hyperbolic extremes?
It is because the hipster aesthetic now reigns supreme. Among a certain demographic, just about all moral/ethical/political questions have been reduced to a battle of consumption choices.

@ Son_et_lumiere:
I've repeated myself on other topics probably 50+ times on my blog. Each time I get a new piece of data of information related to my point, I like to comment on it. As I see it, analysis is an ongoing process, not a "I say this, thus the case is now closed forever."
Also, just because you've seen Freddie say it many times doesn't mean his latest post on the topic is old hat to everyone. I suppose he gets new readers with each one.
I'm not trying to be hostile or pick a fight or anything here, I'm just saying I don't mind him re-examining the issue as much as he feels necessary.

I agree with Man from the Shadows. You read a blog because you like what the blogger does; Geek Watch is a part of what Mr DeBoer does
Also, I feel obliged to point out that, contra Jon EP, I really did get my mind changed by Alex Knapp. All I'd ever read on the subject was some variant of the same rant The Oatmeal posted, and I guess I'd assumed it was more or less accurate. Mr Knapp's corrective was welcome.

Breathing life into Spawn through animation has been one of the highlights on Todd McFarlane's resume. For three seasons on HBO, Todd McFarlane Productions brought award-winning animation to the small screen. Winning two Emmy's for Outstanding Animated Program, as well as a Golden Reel Award for achievement in sound editing, were huge accomplishments.
TMP is thrilled to be back in action on a new Spawn animated project. The wait has been long, but for good reason. With major technological advances in animation over the last five years, we are now at a place where we can truly bring Spawn back to life better than fans ever expected. It's been a year since we revealed that Spawn's cape would once again be snapping in the wind and his chains would again echo through the alleys of New York City. Fortunately a lot has happened in that year and we are happy to announce that this week marks the beginning of our fan updates on the Spawn animation.
From now until the animation is released, we are going to keep fans abreast of everything we can when it comes to the progress of the much-anticipated Spawn: Animation.
As we have mentioned before, we are creating this new animation in partnership with IDT Entertainment and Film Roman, an IDT Entertainment company. The relationship between our two companies is something we are very excited about, as we will be able to create and distribute our product within the same family of companies. Film Roman is a leading producer of animation and special effects, including such series as The Simpsons, King of the Hill, X-Men: Evolution and Tripping the Rift, season 2 of which will premiere this summer on the Sci-Fi network. Sister company Anchor Bay Entertainment is one of the largest independent distributors of DVDs and videos to retail outlets. All parties are enthusiastic about the relationship and we hope to have another hit on our hands with Spawn: Animation.
Our plan moving forward is to bring spawn.com users a behind-the-scenes, first look at everything related to this project. You will be the first audience to see location designs, character sketches, designs and turns, color schemes and other visual elements of the animation. We intend to give you video footage of creative meetings and the process of Todd interacting with the artists and animators, discussing mood, lighting, perspectives and shadows among other things. In addition to this, we will provide updates on how things are progressing as far as soundtrack, casting, animating and more.
As we get deeper into production, we plan on sharing profiles of the artists and animators with you. When the time comes for casting, we will explain the process of selecting the perfect voice and quite possibly let you hear the voice tests. As often as we can, we will provide illustrations, photographs and video of production in progress. It is our hope that you will feel as connected to the project as we are and gain a good idea of what it takes to get Todd's unique vision onto the screen.
Something we are really looking forward to is hosting exciting contests related to the animation. We are still brainstorming ideas, but it's our intention to have some exceptional prizes for you, our loyal fans. We know you have been waiting a long time for this and we want to show you how much we appreciate your patience!
To start off we will try and get a few of the most common questions answered:
No. The new animation is not a continuation of the HBO series.
We have been working on a new story to go along with the new and improved look for a long time to make sure tonally it was something entirely new and edgy.
Todd along with Brian Holguin -- the writer of Spawn and KISS: Psycho Circus comic books -- have co-written the script.
The animation will be "R" rated.
Todd and TME president Terry Fitzgerald will be Executive Producing the animation. We are also thrilled to have a few of the directors and animators from the original HBO series returning to the animation team as well.
Todd McFarlane Entertainment and some of its executives will provide consulting work on this project.
The biggest difference you will notice is in the visuals. This time we'll be featuring a combination of 2D/3D characters on 3D backgrounds, as opposed to the HBO series where everything was exclusively 2D with touches of 2D CG.
Yes, we are trying to get Keith David back as the voice of Spawn.
Upon completion of the animation we intend to shop the project around Hollywood and are confident we will find a home on network or cable television for future installments of the animation.
Currently we are planning to release the 70-minute movie direct to DVD via Anchor Bay Entertainment.
The projected DVD release date is early 2006.

Brazos Valley Bowl players teach youngsters the value of fitness, educationNovember 30, 2012
Players from Kilgore College and Northwest Mississippi Community College visited seven local elementary schools this morning to read to kindergarteners and teach students about the value of health and physical fitness.
The two teams are in Bryan-College Station for Saturday's Brazos Valley Bowl game, which will be played at noon at Kyle Field. Kilgore is ranked 11th in the National Junior College Athletic Association, while Northwest Mississippi is 13th.
The student-athletes visited College Station ISD's Rock Prairie and Pebble Creek elementary schools and Bryan ISD's Ross, Henderson, Crockett, Branch and Kemp Mitchell elementary schools.
"I teach my students to set goals while you're young, and they need to think now about education and keeping their body physically active," said Rock Prairie Elementary School Physical Education Teacher Carole Weldon. "The players really did a good job of confirming that to the kids and I think our students really enjoyed having the players here today."
Northwest Mississippi offensive lineman Thomas Campbell and punter/kicker Chase Carpenter explained football fundamentals and told the students that football scholarships helped both players earn their college educations.
"The main message of the day was to focus on your education and take care of your body," said Campbell, a sophomore left tackle from Batesville, Miss. "You can play football, basketball, baseball or any sport you want to, and if you stay physically fit it will help you throughout your life."
Caprenter, a sophomore punter and kicker from Slayden, Miss. said, "I love telling kids about football because I love football and I want people to love the sport like I love it."
The Brazos Valley Bowl was the result of Blinn's partnerships with community leaders aimed at boosting economic activity in the region during the historically sluggish month of December. Initial funding for the bowl game was provided by the City of College Station through Hotel Occupancy Tax funds.
According to an estimate by the Bryan-College Station Convention and Visitors Bureau, the game could bring $1 million in economic activity to the community as visitors shop, stay in hotels and eat at restaurants over the course of the bowl weekend.
Tickets are free for attendees age 18 and under and for students with a college ID. All other tickets are $5 at the gate. The game will be broadcast live on KZNE 1150-AM.

John A. Billingsley is the actor best known to Star Trek fans for playing Doctor Phlox, the Denobulan chief medical officer of the Enterprise NX-01, on Star Trek: Enterprise.
He graduated Bennington College, in Bennington, VT, where he studied theatre with Nicholas Martin and literature with Bernard Malamud. John moved to Seattle, WA, upon graduation, where, over a fifteen year period, he appeared on regional stages both well and ill regarded. He toured Europe and portions of the US for a bit with a Milwaukee based experimental theatre company (Theatre X), whose production of "A History of Sexuality" featured him in such disparate roles as Sigmund Freud and the Marquis De Sade's valet.
In 1990, John founded a Seattle based theatre company called Bookit, which was devoted to adapting fiction for the stage and which still flourishes in the Pacific Northwest. He also co-founded and acting studio in Seattle called Freehold, also still flourishing, where he taught for seven years. Always active in a limited way in Seattle-based film and TV in the '80's, he decided to move to Los Angeles in 1995 to pursue those mediums more aggressively because (1) he was broke and (2) refer back to (1). After a brief and disastrous stint as a cotton candy spinner (tufts of cotton candy refused to adhere to the paper cones and instead plastered themselves on the faces and garments of frightened children), John caught a break and was cast in "NYPD Blue" as a pathetic and addled child molester.Other guest star roles followed: "The Practice", "Profiler", Pretender", "Marshall Law", "Nash Bridges", "The X-Files", "Time of Your Life", "Judging Amy", and "Arli$$," among others. In 1999, Stephen Spielberg cast him as Prof. Miles Ballard in "The Others". Fun, but it didn't last long. Apres the demise of "The Others", more guest starring: "The West Wing", "Six Feet Under", "Gideon's Crossing", "Stargate", "The Huntress" and "Angel." In 2000, Billingsley was cast as Dr. Phlox in "Star Trek: Enterprise." Dr. Phlox was an eccentric alien with a whimsical sense of humor, and John wore the requisite rubber head for four seasons. Billingsley also has appeared on "Nip/Tuck", Cold Case", "The Closer", "The Ghost Whisperer", a whole bunch of CSI's (how many of 'em are there now?), and a bunch of shows he can guarantee that you have never heard of. (Notice how he ends sentences with prepositions, willy-nilly!) In a recurring role, he played the evil Vice-President's hapless (and toothless) brother on "Prison Break", and he molested more children on "Without a Trace" and "Criminal Mind". (He finally said, to his agents, "Hey, enough with the molesting, already, I walk around and folks give me the "stinkeye") His most recent TV credits include "NCIS", The Mentalist", "Outlaw", "Scrubs", "Leverage", "Eli Stone", "Suits", and Alan Ball's "True Blood", where his recurring role as Coroner Mike Spenser required him to parade around buck nekkid for the better part of 9 episodes. Oh, yeah, he was also blown to kingdom come on "2 4". Recent failed pilots in which Mr. Billingsley appeared: "Me and Lee", (A crazed Lee Majors kidnaps and "bionicizes' a schlub – no, not John, he was the schlub's chiropractor – and sends him forth in the world to go fight crime – OY!), "Atlanta", "The World According to Barnes", and "Suspect". Do not attribute failure of aforesaid pilots to Mr. Billingsley.
In, 2006, John was cast as a series regular on the ABC show "The Nine", where he played Egan Foote, a depressed underachiever who gained a new lease on life after helping (sorta) to foil a bank robbery. He co-starred with Tim Daly, Kim Rave, Scott Wolf, Owen Yeoman and Chi McBride (all of whom have gone on to greater success in other projects, the Rat bastards!) Re: "The Nine" – critical plaudits did not lead to commercial success. R.I.P. Recently he completed 6 episodes of a new show called "26 Miles", playing a pugnacious divorce attorney: this show is still looking for a home, in syndication-ville. Call if you have one.
Films along the way include "Out of Time" opposite Denzell Washington, "American Summer", "High Crimes", "The Glass House", "White Oleander", "Born to be Wild", "I Love You to Death", "A Cinderella Story", "12 Dogs of Christmas", "The Least of These", "Sironia", "Losing Control", "Trade of Innocents", "Red Line", " The Invisible Thief" and "2012". Fans (and his best friend, Phil) continue to remind him of other films that he did that he is too embarrassed to reference here.
A comprehensive list of every gig he auditioned for but didn't get would be spectacularly long, and kind of a bummer, so he won't go there.

Tools of the Trade - Treasure Chest Thursday
These glasses were such a find. I don't remember examining them before. They were my paternal grandfather's safety glasses when he was a leather cutter at Endicott-Johnson in Binghamton, NY. I love the hinged screen at the sides.
My family enjoyed looking at the glasses. We're a group of science nerds - some of us with years of experience wearing safety goggles or glasses. So it was easy to find a willing model.

Aren't they? Not sure the mesh would work in a chemistry lab, but they did the trick for flying bits of leather or whatever else was floating about the factory floor.Delete
What a great treasure chest post! Handsome model there too! LOLReplyDelete
Lovely treasure, Susan - how nice that they got saved! Ohhh, and the model looks pretty cute, too!ReplyDelete
It's such fun to find treasures that ancestors made, used, and/or wore. My father wore little magnifiers on the frames of his glasses when he was repairing watches. I thought they looked odd when I was a child. Now I treasure them (and wish I had the glasses, too!).ReplyDelete
You did a nice job of photographing these, Susan.
Great find. I love that you were able to involve other family members - for the photo op!ReplyDelete
Thanks so for the compliments! They are a treasure, Nancy. I just need to figure out how and where to display them.ReplyDelete
And the model thanks you, Carol & Celia. His head is so turned he may start charging a fee, Michelle!
You definitely need to display them somehow. What neat heirlooms!!ReplyDelete

The Palmetto Christian Academy Eagles erased a 10-point halftime deficit to pull out a 60-58 win over the Faith Christian Knights Monday in Mount Pleasant.
Trailing 28-18 at halftime, Palmetto Christian (2-2) limited Faith Christian to just eight points in the third quarter as Knights star Theron Reddy sat with foul trouble. Reddy finished with 18 points, 14 rebounds and six steals and kept Faith Christian close through the fourth quarter but couldn't close the gap as Palmetto Christian held a five-point lead in the final seconds before a Knights three at the buzzer.
"We started out really slow, kind of lackadaisical, missing a bunch of shots," Palmetto Christian head coach Brian Stanley said. "I challenged our guys at halftime to crank up the intensity and they came out ready to play.
"It was good to see them grind out a win. You have to be able to do that throughout the season."
J.T. Waters and Will Tuchfarber returned from North-South All-Star football weekend Monday to combine for 22 points, seven rebounds, eight assists and two steals. Mitch Hogan added nine points, six rebounds and a steal. The Eagles received 18 points from the bench, including a 13-point effort from Sam Iriart who knocked down 4-of-5 threes.
"Sam was crucial because there's no big drop off when he comes in the game," Stanley said. "With the minutes he's played lately, his confidence is up and he's playing at a really high level.
"We've started out strong before but this was a whole different challenge for our team. Stop after stop, our defense led to our offense."
Palmetto Christian travels to Daniel Island Tuesday to face Bishop England at 7:30 p.m.
Lady Eagles win big
The Palmetto Christian Lady Eagles snapped a two-game losing streak with a 46-18 rout of Faith Christian Monday.
Eagles forward Annie Pascutti led all scorers with 17 points, to go with 10 rebounds and seven steals. Parker Emerson added eight points, five rebounds and two steals, and Lizzie Wilson turned in seven points, five rebounds and two steals.
Palmetto Christian (2-2) exploded out of the gate in the opening quarter, outscoring Faith Christian 24-5. The Lady Eagles allowed just two points in the second quarter to hold a 19-point lead at the break.
Palmetto Christian and Bishop England tip off Tuesday at 6 p.m. on Daniel Island.

During U.S. wartime, the draft process limited many young men's ability to complete and graduate from high school. Many only completed lower to upper elementary grades.
In honor of their service, at the half-time of Moyers High School boy's basketball game, five veterans from varying branches of military service and varying military experiences, were presented with high school diplomas and became honorary members of the 2014 Moyers High School graduating class. The five veterans' military service obligations include World War II, Vietnam, and Korean.

Pulling back from the "fiscal cliff" at the 13th hour, Congress on Tuesday preserved most of the George W. Bush-era tax cuts and extended many other lapsed tax provisions.
Shortly before 2 a.m. Tuesday, the Senate passed a bill that had been heralded and, in some quarters, groused about throughout the preceding day. By a vote of 89 to 8, the chamber approved the American Taxpayer Relief Act, H.R. 8, which embodied an agreement that had been hammered out on Sunday and Monday between Vice President Joe Biden and Senate Minority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. The House of Representatives approved the bill by a vote of 257–167 late on Tuesday evening, after plans to amend the bill to include spending cuts were abandoned. The bill now goes to President Barack Obama for his signature.
"The AICPA is pleased that Congress has reached an agreement," said Edward Karl, vice president–Tax for the AICPA. "The uncertainty of the tax law has unnecessarily impeded the long-term tax and cash flow planning for businesses and prevented taxpayers from making informed decisions. The agreement should also allow the IRS and commercial software vendors to revise or issue new tax forms and update software, and allow tax season to begin with minimal delay."
With some modifications targeting the wealthiest Americans with higher taxes, the act permanently extends provisions of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001, P.L. 107-16 (EGTRRA), and Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, P.L. 108-27 (JGTRRA). It also permanently takes care of Congress's perennial job of "patching" the alternative minimum tax (AMT). It temporarily extends many other tax provisions that had lapsed at midnight on Dec. 31 and others that had expired a year earlier.
The act's nontax features include one-year extensions of emergency unemployment insurance and agricultural programs and yet another "doc fix" postponement of automatic cuts in Medicare payments to physicians. In addition, it delays until March a broad range of automatic federal spending cuts known as sequestration that otherwise would have begun this month.
Among the tax items not addressed by the act was the temporary lower 4.2% rate for employees' portion of the Social Security payroll tax, which was not extended and has reverted to 6.2%.
Here are the act's main tax features:
All the individual marginal tax rates under EGTRRA and JGTRRA are retained (10%, 15%, 25%, 28%, 33%, and 35%). A new top rate of 39.6% is imposed on taxable income over $400,000 for single filers, $425,000 for head-of-household filers, and $450,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly ($225,000 for each married spouse filing separately).
The personal exemptions and itemized deductions phaseout is reinstated at a higher threshold of $250,000 for single taxpayers, $275,000 for heads of household, and $300,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly.
A 20% rate applies to capital gains and dividends for individuals above the top income tax bracket threshold; the 15% rate is retained for taxpayers in the middle brackets. The zero rate is retained for taxpayers in the 10% and 15% brackets.
The exemption amount for the AMT on individuals is permanently indexed for inflation. For 2012, the exemption amounts are $78,750 for married taxpayers filing jointly and $50,600 for single filers. Relief from AMT for nonrefundable credits is retained.
The estate and gift tax exclusion amount is retained at $5 million indexed for inflation ($5.12 million in 2012), but the top tax rate increases from 35% to 40% effective Jan. 1, 2013. The estate tax "portability" election, under which, if an election is made, the surviving spouse's exemption amount is increased by the deceased spouse's unused exemption amount, was made permanent by the act.
The act changes the rules governing in-plan rollovers from Sec. 401(k), 403(b), or 457(b) plans to a Roth 401(k) plan, allowing these rollovers to be made without a distribution. Under the new rules, if a plan includes a qualified Roth contribution program, participants can transfer any amount not otherwise distributable under the plan to a designated Roth account and the distribution will be treated as a qualified rollover contribution.
Various temporary tax provisions enacted as part of EGTRRA were made permanent. These include;
The American opportunity tax credit for qualified tuition and other expenses of higher education was extended through 2017. Other credits and items from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, P.L. 111-5, that were extended for the same five-year period include enhanced provisions of the child tax credit under Sec. 24(d) and the earned income tax credit under Sec. 32(b). In addition, the bill permanently extends a rule excluding from taxable income refunds from certain federal and federally assisted programs (Sec. 6409).
The act also extended through 2013 a number of temporary individual tax provisions, most of which expired at the end of 2011:
The act also extended many business tax credits and other provisions. Notably, it extended through 2013 and modified the Sec. 41 credit for increasing research and development activities, which expired at the end of 2011. The credit is modified to allow partial inclusion in qualified research expenses and gross receipts those of an acquired trade or business or major portion of one. The increased expensing amounts under Sec. 179 are extended through 2013. The availability of an additional 50% first-year bonus depreciation (Sec. 168(k)) was also extended for one year by the act. It now generally applies to property placed in service before Jan. 1, 2014 (Jan. 1, 2015, for certain property with longer production periods).
Other business provisions extended through 2013, and in some cases modified, are:
The act also extends through 2013, and in some cases modifies, a number of energy credits and provisions that expired at the end of 2011:
The IRS's authority under Sec. 1445(e)(1) to apply a withholding tax to gains on the disposition of U.S. real property interests by partnerships, trusts, or estates that are passed through to partners or beneficiaries that are foreign persons is made permanent, and the amount is increased to 20%.
In addition to the various provisions discussed above, some new taxes also took effect Jan. 1 as a result of 2010's health care reform legislation.
Additional hospital insurance tax on high-income taxpayers. The employee portion of the hospital insurance tax part of FICA, normally 1.45% of covered wages, is increased by 0.9% on wages that exceed a threshold amount. The additional tax is imposed on the combined wages of both the taxpayer and the taxpayer's spouse, in the case of a joint return. The threshold amount is $250,000 in the case of a joint return or surviving spouse, $125,000 in the case of a married individual filing a separate return, and $200,000 in any other case.
For self-employed taxpayers, the same additional hospital insurance tax applies to the hospital insurance portion of SECA tax on self-employment income in excess of the threshold amount.
Medicare tax on investment income. Starting Jan. 1, Sec. 1411 imposes a tax on individuals equal to 3.8% of the lesser of the individual's net investment income for the year or the amount the individual's modified adjusted gross income (AGI) exceeds a threshold amount. For estates and trusts, the tax equals 3.8% of the lesser of undistributed net investment income or AGI over the dollar amount at which the highest trust and estate tax bracket begins.
For married individuals filing a joint return and surviving spouses, the threshold amount is $250,000; for married taxpayers filing separately, it is $125,000; and for other individuals it is $200,000.
Net investment income means investment income reduced by deductions properly allocable to that income. Investment income includes income from interest, dividends, annuities, royalties, and rents, and net gain from disposition of property, other than such income derived in the ordinary course of a trade or business. However, income from a trade or business that is a passive activity and from a trade or business of trading in financial instruments or commodities is included in investment income.
Medical care itemized deduction threshold. The threshold for the itemized deduction for unreimbursed medical expenses has increased from 7.5% of AGI to 10% of AGI for regular income tax purposes. This is effective for all individuals, except, in the years 2013–2016, if either the taxpayer or the taxpayer's spouse has turned 65 before the end of the tax year, the increased threshold does not apply and the threshold remains at 7.5% of AGI.
Flexible spending arrangement. Effective for cafeteria plan years beginning after Dec. 31, 2012, the maximum amount of salary reduction contributions that an employee may elect to have made to a health flexible spending arrangement for any plan year is $2,500.

Michelle Vance wants the world to know that a stable home environment is the most critical requirement for a young person to succeed in school, find steady employment and have access to necessary health care. And it becomes even more important if that young person is struggling to gain control of a mental illness. Vance was one of five young adults to share their experiences with mental health troubles at Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) National Children's Mental Health Awareness Day on May 6 in Washington D.C.
Vance, 24, knows what it is like to have nowhere to call home. As a teenager, she spent six months couch-surfing, sleeping in her car and constantly worrying about where she would find her next meal. She was exhausted, stressed and bedraggled. People often asked her if she was abusing drugs. "It would have been more helpful," she said, "if someone had asked if I had eaten or slept."
Vance was fortunate to meet a mentor who found her a safe place to stay and helped her pave a new path, but not before she found herself in some scary situations. "Every night, I had to figure out where I was going to spend the night," she said, adding that couch-surfing is not really free. "I had to bend some of my own values and beliefs to stay safe."
Now, Vance is becoming a vocal advocate for other young people dealing with similar hardships, and she is immensely grateful to have the opportunity to collaborate with other young people to hopefully enact change and eliminate the stigma surrounding mental illness.
"The only person who will change my life is myself," she said. "But the support of peers who want the best for me is incredibly helpful."


text: Bobbi Brown Canary High Shimmer Lipgloss ($23.00 for 0.24 fl. oz.) is described as a "pure gold with gold pearl." I'd like to call it sparkling lipgloss gone absolutely, positively insane. This is quite possibly one of the most shimmering, glittering, glimmering, dazzling, so on and so forth glosses I've ever used. The base color is really a pale gold that yields little color, but it's full of yellow gold, molten gold, and copper shimmer, so it brings the coverage up to semi-sheer to semi-opaque. The overall effect is very shimmery, metallic, and it gives lips a browner look. Though it appears "sheer," there is a marked difference between my bare lips and this on.

IT was with a mixture of dismay and incredulity that I learned of the imminent threat to the future trading ability of Poyners Drapers, Broad Street, Ludlow. Situated as it is in the heart of the town and being one of only three remaining 'all our yesteryear' shops, it has become one of the most visited and photographed sites in town.
I AM delighted to see that Shropshire Council has decided to consider changes to the parking strategy in Ludlow.

Chamber annual meeting puts Millenials into focusFebruary 04,2013The Central Vermont Chamber of Commerce elected a new leadership team Thursday morning, and then gained powerful insights into the attitudes of more distant leaders, the Millennials or NextGen.
Susan Kruthers of Central Vermont Medical Center was installed as chairwoman of the Chamber board of directors, succeeding Steve Gilman of rbTechnologies after two years at the helm.
Gilman said he enjoyed the opportunity to work for the betterment of the local economy and was pleased the Chamber introduced new recruiting tools, had the highest membership growth since the economic crash, successfully opposed new local option taxes, and continued its support of a regional public safety initiative.
He said a new shop local effort involving 90 area businesses has great potential.
The retiring board chairman credited his officers and directors and individually thanked those leaving the board: Tim Ross, Nancy Zorn, Mike Donovan and former board chairman, Robert Lord, Jr.
The membership re-elected Leslie Sanborn to the board, as well as newcomers Curtis Ostler of Norwich University, Byron Atwood of DMS Machining & Fabrication, Gary Hass of The World, and Jim Breer of Better Home Inspections.
Ostler also led the presentation NextGen: Understanding and engaging new generations of people and technology, tapping the founder of Local 64, a partner in Cornerstone Pub & Kitchen, and a Norwich cadet lieutenant colonel for additional perspective.
Essentially, those who think todays youth are in a world all their own are correct, Ostler explained. They have grown up with technology that earlier generations are struggling to understand or are simply ignoring.
The smartphones they carry have access to more information than the FBI did during President Clintons administration, and they communicate better worldwide than General Norman Schwarzkopf could during the Gulf War.
Ostler said those born after 1985, the Millennials, are confident, upbeat, self-expressive, open to change and connected to each other and to the world in ways previous generations could not imagine.
He noted that the Internet and social media have no boundaries. Posted information is immediately available worldwide, instantaneously. The spread of information fuels the pace of change.
Keith Paxman, co-owner of Cornerstone Pub & Kitchen, posted messages on Facebook describing the soon-to-be business and sharing its logo. It had 1,500 followers before Cornerstone opened its doors.
Reacting to his descriptions of what was to come and expressing their own desires, Facebook friends helped guide the pub more heavily toward restaurant. The business changed before it even opened, Paxman said.
The pace of social change is also accelerating. A century ago, women couldnt vote. A few decades ago, womens basketball was played by different rules than mens basketball.
Today, women will enter the front lines of combat. Cadet Lt. Colonel Emily Baugus said male officers under her command never questioned her leadership. Captain of the womens rugby team, Baugus is pursuing a degree in construction engineering management and expects to serve as a helicopter pilot. One of her friends is preparing to pilot fighter jets.
Times have changed. First came the telecommute. Then came work anywhere. That has now been followed by working together independently, according to Lars Hasselblad Torres, the man behind Local 64, which is a membership-driven co-working space in Montpelier. Hasselblad Torres said work-at-home people, independent contractors, and creative spirits need local interaction to exchange ideas, make connections, and share experiences.
That evolution barely spans 20 years. Businesses that dont connect with Millennials will lose remarkably resourceful employees and will fail to reach a huge and growing customer base.
Operating without using the Web or social media is like running a business without a telephone.
If you will not, or cannot [utilize new technologies], hire someone who can! Ostler said.
The presentation was extremely well received by more than 120 business and community leaders attending the meeting at the Capitol Plaza Hotel & Conference Center. Ostler and his co-presenters graciously remained following the meeting, taking individual questions for an additional 20 minutes.

MaxMind's Telephone Number Identification (TNI) service is a tool used to identify the type of the telephone number your customers are providing. The TNI service is able to categorize customer inputted phone numbers into 13 different phone types such as fixed land line, mobile, VoIP, and invalid phone numbers.
Knowing the phone type of the customer inputted number can be a helpful tool in thwarting online fraudulent purchases because purchases from some phone types are more likely to be fraudulent. For example, fraudsters from abroad can obtain US-based Voice over IP numbers like Skype which are untraceable and disposable.

USDA Expands Australian Market for Stone Fruits
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12, 2013 – The United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) today announced that peaches and nectarines from California and the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are now allowed entry into all Australian States.
"The first shipments of peaches and nectarines from California successfully landed in Australia, passed inspection, and are on their way to markets for Australian consumers to enjoy," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "This success comes after several years of negotiations with the Australian government at all levels – from U.S. Ambassador Jeffrey Bleich to USDA staff from APHIS and the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS). In addition, U.S. growers used funds, including FAS' Technical Assistance for Specialty Crops provided funding, to research ways to resolve some of the technical issues."

When Morgan James invented a rifle scope back in 1835, it piqued a few people's interest including that of John Chapman, William Malcolm, and LM Amidon, who were inspired to build scopes, too. Then, the designs, although having met expectations concerning longevity and performance for the sighting device, were quite basic.
Now, it's way past the beginning of the 21st century. Maybe, looking back at the rifle scope's advancements throughout the last 20 years will encourage you to appreciate the one-of-a-kind features of those from the new generation.
Early to Late 90s
Since a lot of time has passed after its first ever appearance, the rifle scope's design (its elevation and windage) has been subjected to changes. No doubt that, from its basic concept back then, it has gone far. However, at this time, its features needed more improvement to produce crisp and clear images for shooting at long-distance ranges.
- Carl Zeiss lenses were introduced, which sparked the trend of preferring high-quality optics for both practical and tactical use.
- Swarovski Optik introduced the LRS series, which was a series of rifle/telescopic sighting devices with integrated laser range finders. After the company's success on the field, similar groups began to emerge and come up with ways to market products of the caliber.
- Groups that were already known for their distribution of sighting devices conducted further studies on the concepts of magnification, parallax compensation, exit pupil, eye relief, and relative topics needed for improvement of lens quality.
Developments in the 2000s
At the start of a new millennium, the rifle scope industry slowly advanced. The use of rifle scopes became popular in shooting competitions. Due to the reputation it began to earn at this point, suppliers of high optics took the initiative to move up their game.
- Companies around the world began manufacturing lenses that could assist shooters in shooting competitions.
- Rifle scopes, which could last in harsh environments, started to be fancied by those in different hunting events.
- Designs for mounting devices of sorts were improved.
- Ballistic support devices were introduced. These were devices that supported long-range shooting.
- Suppliers of high-quality optics came up with ways to combine Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) and Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) technologies to address the needs of competitive shooters.
Today's Rifle Scope
Today, shooters are well-aware of the advantages of the best rifle scope on the market. And, rather than settle for just any kind, they stress their appreciation for sighting devices that played a role in letting them fire quick and precise shots. In fact, award-giving bodies, which includes Outdoor Life, were establish to recognize groups that provide the most advanced optics for a given period.
- Exceptional rifle scopes were launched in the market. Since most types of the sighting device now come with a sleek design, multiple spring tensions, glare-resistant lenses, and adjustment settings for illumination control, they are recommended to be used by participants of shooting competitions.
- The existence of rifle scopes (on AR, C4, MTAC, and other shooting platforms) that could allow shooters to aim accurately at targets as far as 3000 yards isn't rare.

I picked this book up in NY, thinking that it was just an ordinary novel I've missed and discovered it was more of a TV screenplay. This makes it a bit hard for me to "Get Into the Book" and I am contemplating giving it up. Shuld I hang in there? Does it get easier to read the story like a story?
I can't even see the TV film to help me follow it better. It was never aired in my country.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and fry until it begins to turn gold, about 1 minute.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the tomatoes and thyme. Cook, stirring gently, until the skin begins to loosen from the tomatoes, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook 1 minute more. Add the chicken stock and simmer about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Remove the thyme and ladle the tomatoes into serving bowls. Garnish with the basil leaves and pasta.

Apple announces the iPad mini, starting at $329
Indeed. BOO HISS Apple.....
Nope. I watched the whole thing & the didn't address that.
people are not buying the iPad mini because it's cheap. they're buying it because they want the full capabilities of an iPad but in a smaller & lighter package. Having said that, I think $299 would've been the perfect base price - not too cheap to devalue its premiumness but not too expensive either.
Sorry to see you skipped 2nd grade arithmetic. $499 minus $329 equals a $170 dollar price difference. :)
That being said, I also expected a little lower price, but it is what it is. I'm also surprised/disappointed in Apple for not putting the A-6 processor in the new unit. I guess that is what it is too.
All in all, I think it will be a good device and will sell very well. People wanting something smaller and more portable, and those wanting something more affordable, with iOS, now have it.
It's great they could make the new unit immediately compatible with all existing apps.
I would love to have the small one. I already have 2 iPad 3's and a BB Playbook. The mini size is perfect for traveling BUT at that price it isn't happening just yet. Maybe for my oldest's birthday when he turns 7. :)
They specifically mentioned the anti-glare coating for the new iMac including the plasma deposition but I don't remember hearing anything for the iPad mini.
iPad mini with cellular for Verizon lte looks like a bargain
330 are you kidding me? For a 7 inch tablet that is a terrible price. I still don't have a tablet and probably won't get one for a while, but why would you get this over the nexus 7 at 200? Save over a hundred bucks. I guess if you've already invested thousands of dollars into Apple products you really don't have a choice.
If you want to get technical, it's 7.9" and has over one-third screen area. Never-mind the fact that you can run full iPad apps on this device without degrading user experience. Fortunately / Unfortunately, Apple is positioning this device for people that want a smaller / lighter iPad, not necessarily a cheap one.
Wow... This is the first time I have EVER complained about paying an "Apple Premium". $330 is just too much for a 7" tablet when you look at the competition. Nexus 7 here I come.
BTW for the record, I already own a 13" MacBook Air, iPad 3, iPhone 5 and an 27" iMac. IMO Apple blew it BIG this time.
Sorry but $329 is a bit much. A better pricing strategy would have been iPad mini $299, iPad 2 $399, iPad 4 $499. The extra $30 is a it tough to take. I know that Apple will get the $30 and I probably will end up buying one but I am not happy about it.


text:
This is no reflection on you, Ally but...
Who the hell cares if you are selling it, Sprint?! Your network is the slowest, least robust option out there! Your iPads are the slowest ones to sell. Who wants to pay you more for less?
Besides idiots like ME who are hanging in there until our contracts expire - hoping against hope that you'll get your act together before we're forced to find a new cellular home.
To answer the question at the end of the article: That's a lotta of funkin' money. At a starting price of $699, I'd have seriously considered it. But I'm not THAT interested in helping Apple boost their margins.
We'll see how I feel in a year or two, when I may be ready to upgrade my iPad 3 (quite possibly with another iPad 3 so I can keep the 30-pin port).

Wind Power for cars.
So we all know that putting a windmill on a car cannot generate more energy than is in the gasoline being used to drive the car, that would violate the laws of thermodynamics.
However, the question remains, is there some place to put a windmill on a car where it doesn't increase drag but still can generate some electricity that is useful. Probably not, but that doesn't keep people from trying, or patenting these ideas.
Here is one that I find interesting.
The idea is to put a windmill in the space above the truck cab, but below the top of the trailer. This is the place where the wind deflector might be placed. The cool thing here is that the frontal area of the vehicle does not increase, so in that sense, drag does not increase.
However, the question then becomes which is more effecient, 1) put a wind deflector above the cab to reduce drag coefficient and save gas (diesel) 2) put a windmill above the cab to generate electricity.
I suspect that a wind deflector would be more efficient, but I don't have any way to prove it.
Patents are really a form of Art at times. I love Fig 3, of this patent. This car says Chick Magnet.
This one is a little nicerhttp://www.google.com/patents?id=_fUTAAAAEBAJ&pg=PA2&dq=5986429&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=1_1
One related concept, that doesn't violate the laws of thermodynamics, is to put windmills along-side the edge of highways to capture the wind energy from the cars moving down the highway. That could clearly generate power with no reduction in the automotive efficiency. However, perhaps putting up traditional windmills will have a better ROI than putting them beside highways.
Anyway, I don't think there is anything to be gained in efficiency from car mounted windmills, but that doesn't mean people can't patent it and I can't prove it doesn't work.

The documentary on SAVING GENERAL MOTORS is on tonight Wed. 8-6-08 on CNBC at 9PM EST 1Hr.
Thanks for the TV Guide moment Mark! Your reminder helped me to catch the program on CNBC. It was an interesting show about GM. The comments by the Consumer Reports representative were extremely encouraging that GM may, at long last, be turning into a better car manufacturer, and, by extension, it gives great hope that the Volt will be a well-made vehicle as well as an electric vehicle.
