text:
|Weve just signed an employment agreement with a new executive. His agreement allows him to participate in our 401k plan now, even though our normal waiting period is 6 months after hire. Can we let him begin participating now?
|No. ERISA overrides your employment contract. The executive must wait 6 months to enter the plan just like every other employee.
|Do we need any documentation for employees who chose not to enroll in our 401k plan?
|Yes. You should retain a signed enrollment form or other documentation showing that the employee declined to participate. Employers who dont have signed waivers can be forced to make contributions for the employee later.
|What happens if we dont get the paperwork done to enroll a participant by the entry date?
|Generally, a participant can still be enrolled within 30 days of the entry date. However, if an employer has forgotten to give enrollment paperwork to an eligible participant, then they may be enrolled whenever the error is discovered.
|When must 401k contributions withheld from wages be remitted to the investment company?
|Generaly within 7 business days, or as soon administratively feasible.
|We have received a copy of a divorce decree for one of our employees giving half of the retirement plan benefits to the spouse. Can we go ahead and distribute half the account to the spouse?
|No. A plan must be in receipt of a document known as a QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order) that must contain very specific information before a distribution can be made. Please send any such paperwork to us and we will review it for you.
|One of our employees wants to take all of her money out of her 401k account. Can she?
|Probably not. A participant can only withdraw their funds if they meet certain criteria such as retirement, termination of employment, and age 59 ½. They may not withdraw the funds just because its their money. However, the participant may be eligible to take a loan from the plan or to take a hardship distribution.
|What are the reasons that qualify for hardship distributions?
|Purchase of a primary residence, prevent eviction, or college, medical, and funeral expenses.
|Weve been told that our executives put too much money into the plan compared to the other participants. What happens now?
|A refund (which we will calculate) must come out of the plan by March 15th (for calendar yearend plans). And the refund plus earnings will be taxable to the participant on their personal tax return in the year the refund is received.
|Wed like to close the retirement accounts for some employees who have been gone for a long time. Can we just write them checks?
|No. If the participants account is over $5,000, you may not force them out of the plan. However, if their account is under $5,000, and your plan allows it, you may force the participant to either take a distribution, or you can roll the funds to an IRA account.
|Can we stop our matching contribution in the middle of a plan year?
|Yes, but it may require a plan amendment.
|We forgot to send in our Form 5500 before the deadline. What do we do now?
|Your best bet may be to file under the Delinquent Filer Program. The Dept of Labor fee is $750 but it allows the plan to avoid penalties of up to $1,100 per day for late filing.
|How much can I borrow from my retirement account?
|The lessor of $50,000 or 50% of your vested account balance.
|How fast must I pay back a loan from my 401k plan?
|The loan period cannot exceed 5 years unless it is to purchase a primary residence.
|What interest rate will I be charged if I borrow from my 401k account?
|Each plan may set its own interest rate within the federal guidelines. The most common interest rate is prime plus 1%.
|What happens if I stop making payments on my loan?
|Loan payments must be withheld from payroll. You may not stop making payments until you terminate employment. At that time, if you do not pay off the balance of the loan, it will become taxable to you.
|How much taxes will I pay when I take a distribution from my retirement account?
|The investment custodian is required to withhold 20% of the distribution for taxes. However, this may or may not be enough to cover your tax liability. You will pay tax at your regular state and federal tax rate, plus a 10% IRS penalty if you are under age 55.
|Can I buy real estate with my retirement account.
|Only if the plan document allows it. However, investments in things other than financial instruments may result in tax on your retirement account. Please consult with us before you proceed with any such transaction.
|Can the owner of our practice invest his 401k funds in something different than the employees?
|Yes, but only if the investment is offered to all participants. No participant (including the owner) may invest in something that is not available to all participants.
|What does Top Heavy mean?
|Top Heavy is an IRS term meaning that 60% of the plans investments are in the accounts of the key employees. If this happens, your plan must either 1) Make a 3% contribution to all eligible employees, or 2) The key employees may not contribute the following year.
|What is the ADP (antidiscrimination) test:
|The ADP test is a test which limits the amount the highly paid employees may contribute compared to all of the remaining employees. If the plan fails the test, then the highly paid employees will receive refunds of a portion of their contributions.
|What is a Safe Harbor plan?
|A Safe Harbor plan is a plan which attempts to avoid the problems of ADP test and Top Heavy tests by making a guaranteed contribution to employees. That contribution is either a matching contribution that caps at 4% of wages for employees who are contributing their own funds, or a contribution of 3% of wages for all eligible employees.
|Can we change our plan to be a Safe Harbor plan this year?
|No. A Safe Harbor Notification must be given to employees 30 days before the start of a plan year. You will need to wait and start the Safe Harbor provisions next year. Note: Companies who do not currently have a 401k plan may start a Safe Harbor plan midyear.
|Can we exclude part time employees from the plan?
|Generally, any employee who works more than 1,000 hours per year (20 hours per week) must be included in the plan.
|What is the deadline for funding our matching contribution?
|You must fund the matching (and/or profit sharing) contributions by the due date of your business tax return, including extensions.
|May I put my whole paycheck into the 401(k) plan?
|Almost. As long as your plan allows, you may defer your entire paycheck less the amount withheld for Social Security and Medicare taxes.
|How much Roth 401(k) may I defer?
|The limits for Roth deferrals are the same as for regular deferrals. Which is $16,500 for 2010.
|What is the 401(k) deferral limit this year?
|The deferral limit for 2010 is $16,500 plus an extra catch up contribution limit of $5,500 for any participant who is 50 years old or older.
|Im past retirement age and have started taking distributions from my retirement account even though Im still working. Can I still make 401(k) deferrals.
|If we hire a trustee outside of our company can we avoid having liability for the plan?
|No. The plan sponsor will still be liable for the proper operation of the plan.
|What is an ERISA bond, and how much does it need to be?
|Retirement plans are required to carry coverage to protect the plan participants from misappropriation of funds. The bond needs to be in the amount of 10% of plan assets and can generally be obtained as a rider on your regular liability insurance policy.
|Our company is an LLC. Can the partners still make 401(k) contributions?
|Yes. Partners or owners in an LLC, a partnership, or in a sole proprietorship may still make 401(k) contributions.
|Do we really have to pass out a copy of the Summary Plan Description to all of our plan participants?
|Yes. In fact, you must provide a copy to all eligible employees.
|Why do you need a census with all of our employees each year?
|There are reporting requirements, coverage tests, and other factors which require that we look at a complete employee census. If you have concerns about your census information, please call us.
|What is our biggest risk in sponsoring a 401(k) plan?
|The number one area in which plan sponsors get into trouble is for withholding 401(k) contributions from employees' wages, but failing to remit those contributions to the investment custodian in a timely manner. We will help you manage the other compliance areas of your plan.
"I manage a Multiple Employer 401(k)plan. Accurate and timely testing, administration and 5500 filings are essential. Thankfully my PPS team delivers on all fronts."

New Yoshi Game Announced For Wii U, Looks Epic
Yoshi! Yoshi!
Everyone's favourite dinosaur is stomping his way back to a Nintendo home console for the first time since 1998. That's right, kids! Yoshi is back!
Though no official title was given for Yoshi's long-awaited return, the game is being developed by the same team behind the wonderful Wii game, Kirby's Epic Yarn. It's unsurprising, therefore, that Yarn Yoshi is being banded around as the game's working title.
Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Story director Takashi Tezuka will supervise the game's development.
Feast your eyes on the enchanting visuals in the video below:

Question Details:They provided no damage pictures even though I requested them. I sent a certified dispute letter within the 30 days and they refused it. The apartment was in good shape when I left. I cleaned the carpets and the place was spotless. How do I go about taking them to court and do I have a case?
It is entirely possible for your former landlord to charge you additional money for pet damage when you have already paid the $300 pet fee when you moved in. If you want the return of your secuirty deposit where your former landlord has failed to provide you with receipts and documentation showing the basis for the retention of your $300 pet security deposit within the staututory time, your option would be to file a small claims court for the return of your money.
Your former landlord bears the burden of demonstrating his or her entitlement to the retention of the $300 secuirty deposit for pet damage by photographs, cleaning receipts, witnesses and the like. From what you have written, you seem to have a good chance of prevailing in small claims court. However, I am not the judge who will be hearing the case.

Ustad Sultan Khan is part of a generation of Indian musicians who have strong classical backgrounds and are unafraid to incorporate them in their embracing of newer genres. Trained in the sarangi (a classical Indian stringed instrument), thanks to his musician father, Ustad Gulab Khan, Khan has been performing since the age of 11. His debut concert was at the All Indian Conferences. He is the receiver of numerous awards, including the Sangeet Natya Academy Award, which is also known as the President's Award. Since his first concert, Khan has gone on to play numerous high-profile events, including Prince Charles' 50th birthday party, and a tour with Ravi Shankar and George Harrison.
Like Shankar and Harrison, Khan is a boundary pusher when it comes to classical Indian music, both in his solo work and the Indian fusion group he collaborates with, Tabla Beat Science (which also boasts Zakir Hussain and Bill Laswell as members). On Rare Elements, Khan shows off his more progressive side, pairing with electronic producers from around the globe for a spin in classical Hindustani music that still remains true to the original art form thanks to impeccable musicianship and respectful production. NY–based DJ, producer, remixer, and label-head Joe Claussell gives "Aja Maji (Sacred Rhythm Mix)" a beautiful, subtly electronic vibe using loops of percussion, delicate and gauzy layers of sound, and slight reverb on vocals for a track that sounds surprisingly organic.
Continuing with the New Yorker collaborations, Khan pairs up with Nickodemus and Osiris, a duo best known for fusing world, jazz, funk, and dance-floor grooves. Indeed, on their joint effort, "Jaadu (Magic)," the three create a cerebral funk-inspired groove with elements of minimalism for a deeper, nocturnal vibe that alludes to the mysticism implied in the song title. The album finishes with a collaboration with the ultimate DJs of world chill, Thievery Corporation. This DC–based duo add a bed of lush electronic and gently displaces vocals for a dreamy effect that gives the impression of being surrounded by music and floating away on a bed of sound.

Hernus Pieters furnished the clincher at No. 5.
March 2, 2014
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.-----The Georgia men's tennis team opened SEC play with a 4-0 win at 11th-ranked Tennessee Sunday afternoon at UT's Barksdale Stadium.
Georgia (5-5, 1-0 SEC) fell behind early on all three doubles courts, but stormed back to win tiebreakers at Nos. 2 and 3 to go ahead 1-0. The Bulldogs then earned singles wins at Nos. 1, 5 and 6 to beat the Vols (10-4, 0-1 SEC) for the fifth straight time.
"I was really impressed with our composure in doubles," said UGA head coach Manuel Diaz. "We were down a break at two and three, but I felt really good about our focus and our fight. Those two factors helped us stay in it and turn it around. I'm really proud of them."
At No. 1, the nation's No. 2 ranked team of Mikelis Libietis and Hunter Reese defeated the Bulldogs' No. 14 team of Hernus Pieters and Ben Wagland, 8-5. Georgia, however, answered at No. 3 as Eric Diaz and Austin Smith edged Jarryd Chaplin and Bartosz Sawicki, 8-7(3), then Garrett Brasseaux and Nathan Pasha outlasted Andrew Dromsky and Markus Kerner at No. 2, 8-7(5), to give UGA a 1-0 lead.
No. 16 Smith put Georgia in front 2-0 with a 6-4, 6-2 win over No. 32 Libietis at No. 1 singles, then Knoxville native Nick Wood notched the Bulldogs' third point with a 6-3, 6-1 victory over Sawicki at No. 6. Pieters registered his second match clincher of the season as he topped Kerner, 7-6,(6) 6-1 at No 5.
Matches at Nos. 2, 3 and 4 were suspended when Georgia clinched the win.
"We had phenomenal play by Austin Smith at No. 1," Manuel Diaz said. "In the last match against Tech, Nathan Pasha really overwhelmed his opponent at No. 1, and it was the same with Austin today. He served exceptionally well and was aggressive and able to put pressure on his opponent. He did a terrific job. Nick came in with a solid performance, and Hernus – after the first set where it was a tossup – just broke down his opponent and clinched the match for us."
Smith is now tied with Pasha for the team lead with 23 wins, and the Cumming, Ga., native recorded his 10th victory of the season against a ranked opponent.
The Bulldogs will return to action next weekend with home matches against Mississippi State Friday at 2:30 p.m., and Ole Miss Sunday at 1 p.m.

Sinus Headache Relief: Natural Cures
Last Modified on May 18, 2015
Get Rid of a Sinus Pressure Headache Naturally
Sinus blockages can result in incredibly painful sinus headaches and traditional meds may provide only temporary sinus headache relief. However, holistic treatments can get to the true cause of your sinus headache, bring pain relief, and cure the cycle of sinus infections and headaches.
Many times, what you think of or even what your doctor diagnoses as a sinus headache is in fact a migraine or tension headache.1 So what is a sinus headache? The symptoms that particularly characterize sinus headaches include significant pain in the front of the head, the cheeks, and at the bridge of the nose. This pain will worsen if you bend down or move your head quickly. A stuffy nose and yellow-green or even red mucus discharge may also be present. Additionally, a sinus headache will most likely occur around the time of a cold, the flu, or another infection that will have caused the mucus blockage in the sinus cavities (and it is this that typically indicates a sinus headache diagnosis rather than migraine.)
Find a Folk Cure for Sinus Headaches
You have many options in home remedies for sinus headache symptoms. To start, use a humidifier and/or steam treatments to moisturize your nasal passages. Saline nasal sprays may help improve sinus drainage. Warm compresses over the sinuses can relieve pain and pressure. Apple cider vinegar, natural pain relievers, and aromatherapy such as with peppermint oil may help open up the sinuses, kill off an infection, or simply relieve sinus headache pain. Oner herbal remedy you may want to consider is feverfew, a plant that has some documented support as to its effectiveness for headache in general and sinus headaches particularly.2

You are likely actually suffering from migraines if you get a what feels like a "sinus headache" from A/C blowing on you.
There are estimates that many "sinus headaches" are actually migraines. This was the case with me. I had years of sinus infections, but after my migraines began and I started treating them (with prescription triptan class migraine meds), I began paying more attention to possible migraine triggers and realized that the "sinus headaches" I got whenever A/C was blowing on my head/face were actually migraines. I had only slight improvement when trying methods to help sinus congestion/irritation, but these headaches did respond very well to migraine meds.
I still have sinus issues and agree that A/C will irritate sinuses by drying them out, so repeated exposure to A/C blowing on you would most likely lead to sinus problems, but if you get a "sinus headache" directly after A/C is blowing on you, then you may want to look into a migraine treatment.
I was skeptical at first because they really feel like sinus headaches to me, but the response to migraine meds (not sinus treatments) for these specific headaches convinced me that they were migraines instead.

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] I have suffered from ear aches since I was a child. I have seen ear specialists doctors and basically no one cared or even said anything was wrong. I self-diagnosed myself with sinusitis as an adult but when I asked doctors what I can do for the ear pain they basically recommend Zyrtec and nasal sprays. These help sneezing but never my ear ache. The only thing that gave me temporally relief from the ear pain was ear candling. However that is expensive and usually only helps for about one hour. I started researching cures for sinus and came across ACV (Apple cider Vinger) OMG I cannot tell you how much this has helped with the ear ache I have been taking it with warm water twice a day for 3 days now (two caps full) I am allergic to honey so I can only have it on its own and wow I can actually feel the ache leaving me. If you have a sinus ache try this treatment. I am not sure how good it is for arthritis weight loss and skin etc. but for sinus ache and especially the ear it is amazing.
[YEA] Thank you all so much. I have been dealing with a splitting sinus headache all day. I haven't been "sick", but my sinuses have been blocked all day. I tried apple cider vinegar, honey and water and now within 10 min my nose is already remarkably better and my head is 50 percent better. So happy to have found this site!!
I've had a sinus headache for four days, so far. I was so desperate I'd try just about anything for relief. Nothing was working. I was really skeptical about this one, but what the heck. Why does something so nasty tasting have to work? Why couldn't ice cream work instead? I gagged it down with honey mixed in to make it less awful. My only disappointment is that it's not a cure, so I'll probably have to do it again. But, damn... Apparently it works!
It works! Thank you so much for posting this solution here. I was in such pain all day from a horrible sinus headache. I could not breathe out of either nostril. I tried everything I could think of to alleviate the congestion so that I could breathe and sleep. I read about the cure here and took 8 oz water plus 2 tbspn of ACV and within an hour, I could breathe. Plus it took away the feeling of nausea. I would highly recommend this to anyone who suffers from these types of headaches.
[YEA] I just realized after two weeks of acv, not only all of my sinus problems are gone, but the muscle aches that accompanied it. I didn't realize that that was what was causing the pain all over my body until someone mentioned it on this site. My husband and I have been miserable with the sinus headaches, congestion etc., but we attributed the aches and pains to arthritis. We are in our 70's so it was logical. It wasn't arthritis at all it was the sinus infection. I feel 100% better.
[YEA] Sinus Headache and Apple Cider Vinegar:
I am in the movie industry. The other night we were shooting on a closed airtight stage, about a 9000 sqft stage. Inside the stage we had created a small forest Real Trees plants moss, dirt. We then added smoke (mineral oil smoke) constantly into the air to create a foggy look. I spent appx 10 hours on the stage. Taking 5-10 breaks every hour or so. Anyway. after shooting for one day my sinuses were shot. I had a sinus headache, behind my left eye, then jumped to my right, I tried the accupressure point system, I sat in a steam room, I did the neti pot deal. but the headache would not go away. It just left for the moments of the remedies treid. This went on for the entire weekend. I was suffering until I found this website. I hate using prescribed man made medicines. I mixed about 4 tablespoons of ACV in with 8oz of warm water. Drank it straight down, then put a teaspoon of the ACV under my tongue and held it there for as long as possible (about 10 minutes). My stomach immediately got a little upset, then calmed down. I am actually hearing the sounds of drainage in my head. Slowly it seems to be clearing. I hope it works for you guys.
[YEA] I have had a sinus headache for 2 days. i have taken sinus medicine over the cunter and lots of aspirin. nothing has worked. i found this web site, i took 2 tbls acv in 8 oz of water, put the pot on the stove, heated the water till it boiled and took it off and breathd it in with a towel around the pot for 15 minutes. my headace is gone now. i also drank 2 tbls in 8 oz water with zylitol sugar and lemon, it was not bad. hope the pain stays away. i am worn out from dealing with it.
[YEA] I was skeptical to try this (apple cider vinegar). But I did after the first signs of a sinus headache and pressure. That was last nite and this morning the headache was gone and my sinuses are draining very easily now. i would recomend this to anyone with a sinus cold.

[YEA] This week I had intense sinus pressure/headache from tree pollen. I tried drinking apple cider vinegar, but it made my headache worse almost immediately. I then read posts on EC in the sinus infection section about putting a teaspoon of ACV in a neti pot filled with warm, distilled water and rinsing the sinuses. I did this and felt so much better 10 minutes later! I hope everyone tries this. I have used a small amount of hydrogen peroxide in a neti pot before and gotten good results, but I think I prefer the ACV. It was milder and had an immediate effect!

04/24/2015Rubbing a 50% solution of DMSO and water to the temples and face over the sinus passages I have found gives relief in 5 minutes for the sinus headache, keep reapplying every 10 minutes until relief comes for more severe headaches. Nettle Tea and Turmeric work well against the pollen allergy. I mix 1 teaspoon of Turmeric in a little milk and add 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper for better absortion and drink 3 to 4 cups of Nettle Tea a day.

[YEA] I tried Bee Pollen at the Wednesday Farmer's Market. I liked it, so I went back today to buy it. I came home and once again I started to feel a really bad sinus headache coming on. In fact, I felt it coming on last night, filling my sinus cavities with pain.
I went upstairs after today's farmer's market to lie down due to the pain of a Sinus Headache and I asked my husband to bring up the bee pollen and a spoon. So he did, now I feel pretty good. The relief is almost instant.
CAUTION: on the allergy page, people put a caution saying that you have to work yourself up to having more of this stuff. Worth it to read the Allergy page here at Earth Clinic for the bee pollen caution.
Cayenne 2 0

[YEA] Instead of snorting cayenne; I use the age old Mexican remedy of coating the tip of your tongue in cayenne/red pepper for a few minutes. Instantly my mouth starts drooling/draining, so I do it over the sink (or keep tissues ready); with a minute or so my sinuses are running as well, and soon the headache subsides. Since I get sinus pressure/headaches often, I collect the little packets of "crushed red peppers" from the Pizza Parlor, to keep in my purse, desk, car, medicine cabinet, briefcase; they make this remedy "portable" and very handy, just stick your tongue in the lettle packet then wait for relief!
[YEA] Cayenne Pepper cured my Sinus Headache. Like everybody else I was looking for a simple safe remedy to cure by Sinus headache. I found this site and decided to give the cayenne pepper a try. IT HURT! Do follow what the others on here have said and use only the very smallest amount to sniff up. My Nose felt like it was on fire but within 10 minutes the headache had gone. Thank you so much all who post on this site, it is such a help. Headache gone and I can breathe easily now, sad to say I am at present left with the dreaded drip effect so am now looking on here for something that will rid me of that.

10/18/2009Hi Pat in Nottinghamshire, fellow Brit here (I grew up near Nottm in fact). I have also suffered from recurring sinusitis, until recently, when I last got a cold it didn't affect my sinuses half so badly. I put this down to a number of possibilities which you might like to try: virgin coconut oil - either a couple of teaspoons a day, straight off the spoon, if you can hack it, or in your tea or coffee, which could help because, according to one source I read, most sinus infections are in fact fungal in origin. VCO is anti-fungal so that maybe helped. I have also been taking probiotics regularly, which may have also helped for all I know! The other thing that may have helped is that I have been taking unpasteurized ___ apple cider vinegar. I take it with raw honey, two to three times a day before food, about 30-50ml. Anyway, you might like to try the VCO first - I even actually "snorted" it once in my desperation, which actually did help!
Good luck!

[YEA] Ginger for a Sinus Headache: I don't have fresh ginger root, I have ____ ____ ginger in a tube. I figured, I'll try it with the ginger that I have. I put in about 1 very large tablespoon or more of ginger into a 6 or 8 oz glass, then boiled up 1 cup of water. I added some ____ honey from ____. I wasn't expecting this to work. It worked almost immediately! I would say it's not quite what you would get from Ibuprofen, or sudafed, but very very close, and it will take the pain away, and it's natural! I am sick of taking ibuprofen for my sinus headaches. They WORK, but, if this method works for me I would rather go this route. I have had sinus headaches for years. The pain is unbearable. It's been 20 mins since I tried it. I will keep this window open and continue to monitor if it's working or not. Ok it has been an hour. I definitely DO feel better. I would say it's worth it to do.

[YEA] I suffered from horrible sinus headaches over the past three months. After much researching, I finally found the culprit--ICE CREAM. I have craved Ice cream every day for the past 3 1/2 months. I always use Oragnic ACV so I knew that was not helping. I tried grapefruit seed extract in water and was very pleased with the results. No more sinus headaches since I've been on it. I used about 5 drops in an 8oz glass of water.

SIGNAL: Stanford Interdisciplinary Group in Neuroscience and Law
May 9, 2011 5:00pm - 6:30pm
Are vegetative patients still "there"? Can they communicate with us? Can they make their own medical decisions, including whether or not to end life sustaining treatment?
For this SIGNAL presentation, Jon Bardin, a graduate student from Weill Cornell medical school, will present on his recent paper and important findings about what might be going on inside the brains of patients with disorders of consciousness.
Disorders of consciousness after stroke or severe brain injury are diagnosed with a clinical exam that is based on a patient's ability to demonstrate certain cognitive abilities at the bedside. However, recent neuroimaging studies of patients with disorders of consciousness have shown promise for the identification of cognitive function and communication capacity in patients who may not retain sufficient motor function to outwardly demonstrate such abilities for detection by these behavioral exams. I will describe these recent studies by our group and others, focusing both on the important advances they represent as well as their inherent limitations. Most importantly, I hope to start a conversation about the legal and bioethical implications of this work, in particular as they relate to medical decisionmaking and end-of-life care, as well as the potential admissibility of such tests as legal evidence.

Author, musicologist, and jazz pianist to conduct lecture/performance at Moravian College
Bethlehem, Pa., January 19, 2007—Moravian College will hold a lecture/performance by Guthrie P. Ramsey, Jr., titled "Race Music" from Bebop to Hip Hop in Rhythms and Words on Wednesday, January 24, 7:30 p.m., Peter Hall, Priscilla Payne Hurd Campus. The performance-lecture is sponsored by Moravian's Arts and Lectures Committee and the LVAIC Africana Studies Consortium. Admission is free and the public is welcome.
Musicologist and jazz pianist Guthrie P. Ramsey, Jr. is currently associate professor and chair of Graduate Studies in the Music Department at the University of Pennsylvania. He is a specialist in African American and American music, jazz, cultural studies, popular music, film studies, and historiography. He is the author of Race Music: Black Cultures from Bebop to Hip-Hop, voted outstanding book of 2003 by the International Association for the Study of Popular Music, and the forthcoming book Curtis Mayfield: Gentle Giant of Soul.
Race Music: Black Cultures from Bebop to Hip-Hop, covers the vast and various terrain of African American music, from bebop to hip-hop. Guthrie P. Ramsey, Jr., begins with an absorbing account of his own musical experiences with family and friends on the South Side of Chicago, evoking Sunday-morning worship services, family gatherings with food and dancing, and jam sessions at local nightclubs. This lays the foundation for a brilliant discussion of how musical meaning emerges in the private and communal realms of lived experience and how African American music has shaped and reflected identities in the black community. Deeply informed by Ramsey's experience as an accomplished musician, a sophisticated cultural theorist, and an enthusiast brought up in the community he discusses, Race Music explores the global influence and popularity of African American music, its social relevance, and key questions regarding its interpretation and criticism. Beginning with jazz, rhythm and blues, and gospel, this book demonstrates that while each genre of music is distinct—possessing its own conventions, performance practices, and formal qualities—each is also grounded in similar techniques and conceptual frameworks identified with African American musical traditions.
Ramsey has published in Black Music Research Journal, Musical Quarterly, American Music, The Journal Black Studies, Callaloo, The New York Times, and The Village Voice. He is also completing a book on jazz pianist Bud Powell and leads the band Dr. Guy's MusiQologY, which is completing its first CD and has performed throughout the U.S. and Lain America.
Peter Hall is located on the Priscilla Payne Hurd Campus in historic Bethlehem, Pa. For more information, call 610-861-1491 or visit www.moravian.edu.
Moravian College is a private, coeducational, selective liberal arts college located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Tracing its founding to 1742, it is recognized as America's sixth-oldest college. Visit the Web site at www.moravian.edu.

You could smuggle it in a body cavity.
Yeah, it's that small.
I love this little stove, it takes up zero room and has the nifty pouch that holds the stove and a fuel canister together. This is the stove you could easily pack with a fuel canister inside your pots for a lightweight compact cooking system.
I have the MSR pocket rocket but I always grab this little guy. I also like the fact you can simmer rice and not really have to worry too much about scorching the bottom.

I'm surprised that you've been around the site since 2003 and haven't noticed that this topic HAS had it's own threads... A ton.
According to MMA fighters/commentators I've spoken to, all Takada fights have been works save for the Rickson and Cro Cop ones (someone on Sherdog once posted a supposed translation of a Japanese interview with Takada admitting this), and Coleman's payback for dropping the fight to Takada was Fujita backing out of the GP to give Coleman a by to the finals (after pulling Shoji for his quarterfinal opponent, who just held on and ate body shots, basically leaving Coleman only Vovchanchyn as a real opponent for the whole night). Sakuraba's first fight, the one vs. Kimo, was a dive that Kimo was apparently not informed of, and that's about it for major name fights.

Play up requests for the Spring 2015 season must be received no later than March 8th.
We generally do not approve requests for players to play in an age group older than their own. The reasoning is explained in this Q&A from AYSO National Coach Administrator John Ouellette. We do not allow players to play down an age division.
If, after reading this reasoning you still wish to submit a play up request, please e-mail the Player Evaluation Committee at email@example.com. Please include your player's name, AYSO ID#, divisions wishing to move from and to, and previous coach name and contact information. In addition, please provide specific information on why you are requesting the play up. We will contact your player's previous coach for an evaluation regarding the appropriateness of their soccer skills for the requested division, and we may request an on-field evaluation of your player.
In the event a play up request is approved, it is on a space available basis for the receiving division.

Vietnam to Cut Deposit Rate Cap to Spur Economic Growth
Vietnam's central bank will cut the dong deposit rate cap by two percentage points next week as policy makers attempt to revive the economy and encourage more lending to businesses.
The cap will be 9 percent from 11 percent currently and will take effect June 11, State Bank of Vietnam Governor Nguyen Van Binh told the National Assembly yesterday. The reduction will support companies and is in line with easing consumer price gains that are at their lowest since 2010, Binh said. Declines in borrowing costs still don't "meet the needs of businesses," he said.
A slowdown in the Vietnamese economy is hurting companies amid a credit crunch after the central bank raised borrowing costs last year to fight what was then the fastest inflation in Asia. Gross domestic product grew 4 percent in the first quarter, the slowest since 2009, and the pace of expansion for the full year may be as low as 5.2 percent, deputy minister of Planning & Investment Cao Viet Sinh, said in an interview this week.
"The central bank is trying to reduce the funding cost of banks, hoping that banks will pass on the benefit to the ultimate consumer," said Prakriti Sofat, a Singapore-based economist at Barclays Plc. "The move will likely encourage more consolidation in the banking sector, in line with what the central bank wants, since weak banks may find it difficult to source funding."
Vietnam's move to spur growth coincides with China's cut yesterday of its interest rates for the first time since 2008.
Access to Funds
Companies are still finding it hard to access cheap funds from banks, Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan, deputy chairwoman of the legislative body, said yesterday. Current lending rates are currently as high as 18.5 percent, according to a central bank statement on its website June 6.
The central bank lowered its refinancing rate, discount rate and repurchase rate by one percentage point in each of the last three months.
The Vietnamese government asked the central bank to speed up lending-rate cuts after consumer-price gains eased, according to a resolution on the government website May 10. Inflation slowed to a 21-month low of 8.34 percent in May. Binh forecasts consumer prices will rise 0.2 percent in June from May and the end of the year inflation rate will be 7 percent to 8 percent.
"If this is followed by cuts in other policy rates, it might be interpreted that the government is over-concerned about stimulating growth," said Kevin Snowball, the HCM City- based chief executive of PXP Vietnam Asset Management. "If this is not followed by cuts in other policy rates, then it creates more of a net interest margin, which may encourage banks to make more loans."
The central bank has injected about 180 trillion dong ($8.6 billion) into the economy, Binh said, calling it a "huge" amount.
"Liquidity in the banking system has improved significantly," he said.

Review: The PrestigeSaturday, October 21st, 2006
Andy Serkis, David Bowie and Hugh Jackman in the The Prestige
Director, Christopher Nolan scores big with The Prestige. Read on:
Cinematic sleight-of-hand is a tough thing to pull off these days. No matter how secretive or sophisticated a filmmaker's approach might be, there are always folks savvy (not to mention cynical) enough to figure out what's happening long before any of their fellow filmgoers. And that is what makes The Prestige the ultimate movie magic trick.
As the film's dialogue suggests, the true purpose of magic is not to trick or deceive, but rather to convince an audience that "something" can appear to be "something else" entirely. Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, the man responsible for the misdirection-filled Memento, this idea is elevated to new artistic heights — even as it temporarily appears to be just another tool in a master storyteller's arsenal.
The film stars Christian Bale (Batman Begins) as Alfred Borden, an aspiring illusionist with tricks to spare, but hardly enough panache to sustain an audience's attention. Meanwhile, his colleague, Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman), has plenty of stage presence, but not enough chops to make it as a legitimate magician. The two quickly become embroiled in a battle of wills for domination of London's stages. But when their competition results in the accidental death of a loved one, the longtime rivalry escalates and threatens to destroy both men — not only professionally, but personally.
There's no good reason to reveal any more about the film, unless you are one of those savvy (not to mention cynical) folks who prefers to have all of a film's secrets spoiled before stepping into a theater. That said, The Prestige adds up to far more than the sum of its parts. This is largely due to Nolan's script, co-written by his brother Jonathan, which functions simultaneously as an expose into antiquated magic tricks and a testament to the fact that almost all of them still work. But the careful construction of characters is what keeps the film tethered to its emotional center.
Bale, a masterful actor capable of incredible subtlety and power, portrays Alfred as the ultimate purist — an artist who barely needs an audience to feed his work except as a sort of last-ditch commercial crutch. Jackman, on the other hand, exploits his own theatrical experience to play a performer who courts attention — indeed, he craves it — and whose determination to learn Alfred's secrets is connected to personal desperation as much as professional envy.

Arsenal majority shareholder Stan Kroenke has conceded the Gunners were never going to land Liverpool striker Luis Suarez this summer.
Arsenal made Suarez one of their top targets during the summer transfer window as Arsene Wenger looked to bolster his attacking options.
The player indicated he would be interested in a move to the Emirates Stadium to enable him to play in the Champions League, but Liverpool rejected two offers for the Uruguayan from the Gunners.
Arsenal's second bid of £40,000,001 annoyed Liverpool's hierarchy, with the North London outfit believing it triggered a reported £40million buy-out clause in Suarez's contract.
Kroenke has revealed he met Liverpool owner John W Henry following their controversial pursuit of Suarez and claims there was no price Liverpool would sell Suarez at because of their fears of the impact of losing him.
"Look, Arsene Wenger had a view, our team had a view, they had a view and their view was 'he wasn't going anywhere'," Kroenke told the Daily Telegraph.
"I never saw them waver from it. I guess at some level there is a number that gets anybody out of anywhere but there was nothing within the realm of what we knew about that could have got him out of there.
"There were people saying if he left there was nothing left. If people believe that, if those players believed that and John thought they believed that, then that is a real problem."

Paul Bench
Paul is an incredibly talented designer who manages to both construct innovative yet wearable garments, as well as adhering to a powerful vision which runs through the show as an unidentifiable thread in much the same way as Miuccia Prada's collections. His menswear often has a modernist and graphic element, and undertones of a slightly futuristic "boy from space" 1960's vibe. I've been lucky enough to preview his collection for Spring/Summer 2012 and consider it to be his strongest yet, (due to be shown next week on September 20) particularly the abstract prints and pastel knitwear.

Beethoven copied out the entire score and libretto to Messiah by hand to study it. Legend has it that Handel wrote this oratorio in just 24 days. It was written for a trip to […] [Read More]

It can be said that all design is rooted in the struggle of form and function. Each decision that a creator makes is a tug in one direction or the other. But good design never lies on linear scale. That is, success isn't found in the ability to defeat one side or the other. Form at the expense of function is useless, an object d'art that can be discarded annually as the prevailing trends change. Function without the consideration of form, however, is nothing more than a tool or applicance. Good design, rather, is weaving these elements together in concert with one another, allowing each decision, regardless of purpose, to support one another. American architect Louis Sullivan writes, "Ornament and structure were integral; their subtle rhythm sustained a high emotional tension, yet produced a sense of serenity. But the building's identity resided in the ornament. It was the spirit animating the mass and flowing from it, and it expressed the individuality of the building." Form, therefore, becomes the eyes through which we are drawn into the function of the end result.

Above & Beyond: Alfonso Octaviano's 1975 Toyota Celica
There are few experiences as amazing as stepping into a new car. Every sense is stimulated by the freshest in ICE technologies, the sounds of the newest engines, and that oh-so-distinctive, irreplicable new car smell. The cars that are being made today are faster, better-appointed, and more efficient than ever. And yet, the vintage scene is larger than it's ever been before. Classic muscle car enthusiasts are currently spending tens of thousands of dollars creating Pro-Touring cars out of 35 year old Detroit iron, import fans are hunting down seemingly forgotten Japanese performance models, and wheel companies are re-releasing wheels that five years ago would have been easily found in a junkyard. Every time the scene delivers an unworldly 1000 HP GTR or LF-A, a mint condition Hakosuka or 2000GT rises up from the annals of history to remind us that newer doesn't exactly mean better.

Track Inspired S2000: Outlaw In The Outback
While I was over in Australia, I drove down to Melbourne for a couple days, and the owner of this beautiful Platinum Pearl White S2000, Vyet Le, was kind enough to show me around. He has owned the car for around 3 years now, and originally, it was supposed to be a clean, streetable car with the ability to hit up the track every now and then. After an accident though, everything changed. The insurance company wanted to just get rid of it, but Vyet felt a real connection to this car, and decided it wasn't time to let it go. He bought it back, and repaired it.

Built Like a Brick House: Sydney's Widebody WRX
There's the people you meet once and you'll never forget, and there's the people you might see every day and never know. The same can be said about cars. I like to think that every car has a presence, a personality so to speak, however lack luster or intriguing they might be, it exists. Out of the hundreds of thousands of cars out there only a few have that intangible character, that demeanor, THAT form that leaves a lasting impression in our memory.

Can a person with H1B visa register a company in USA

One of my friend wants to register a Business in USA but he's on a H1B Visa.
He's kids those were born in US but they're minor now.
Are there any options for him?
Comments have been locked for this thread.
pahujaheman | Window Shopper | 10/29/2009 - 4:14 pm
Nocole, Thanks for the information. Consulating a Lawyer is definitely an option. But do you have any idea about whether my friend can register a company with his kid's name (though minor), but US citizen and still become the care taker of the same company.

text: For all those who have Madden 360 on Xbox 360, I have a questions. Can you edit your players, as far as their jersey number, equipment, etc? I can't seem to find an option to do this. Thanks for those who can help. On a side note, I love the game, but four things that I think really need to be fixed with this game come next season. (1) The players overall body frame; they look like they were stretched vertically, then smushed flat, then stretched horizontally, giving them a stocky look, which doesn't look very lifelike. All players look the same size to me. (2) Pump fake on the left stick? Everytime I try and move around the pocket I pump fake by accident because of my nerves pushing the stick around. Changed the control, but don't think it should be there. (3) The running. The players just like flat out funny when their running. It just doesn't feel right with the stocky look and the running animation (the actual steps). When you hit the speed burst button it feels as if it's an arcade game with the amount of acceleration your player gets. (4) PRACTICE MODE

Hansen, Hitchcock, Hekle record two points apiece
|Lindsay Hansen
HANOVER, N.H. - Captains Lindsay Hansen (Northport, N.Y.) and Nicole Hekle (Winnipeg, Manitoba), as well as Jennifer Hitchcock (LaSalle, Ontario), recorded two points apiece to propel the second-ranked University of New Hampshire women's ice hockey team to Sunday afternoon's 4-1 non-conference victory against Dartmouth College at Thompson Arena.
UNH, which had been idle since its 3-0 victory at then-No. 9 Harvard University on Dec. 10, extended its winning streak to eight games to improve to 13-2-0 overall. Dartmouth, which had won each of the last five games and six consecutive home games in the series vs. the Wildcats, is now 5-7-0.
Hansen and Hitchcock both recorded a goal and an assist while Hekle finished with two assists. UNH goaltender Melissa Bourdon (Ile Bizard, Quebec) recorded a season-high 19 saves, including eight in the third period. DC goalie Kate Lane was forced to record double digits in saves all three stanzas - 15-12-16 - to finish with 43.
The teams skated to a 1-1 tie through one period. UNH took a 1-0 lead - the 'Cats have scored the game's first goal in 14 of 15 games this season - at 10:57 on Hitchcock's eighth goal of the season on a shot from the slot. Sadie Wright-Ward (Durham, N.H.) and Sam Faber (Mt. Sinai, N.Y.) were credited with assists.
Dartmouth pulled even at 15:49 when UNH lost control of the puck at the left point. Danielle Grundy gathered the loose puck and her shot was stopped by Bourdon, but Caroline Ethier scored off the rebound at the top of the crease. It marked only the second first-period goal the Wildcats have surrendered this year.
New Hampshire regained the lead, 2-1, at 10:21 of the second period. Senior defenseman Amy McLaughlin (Berlin, Mass.), who recorded six points in seven games vs. DC while skating for Brown University, capped a UNH flurry with a shot from the left point in her first meeting vs. the Big Green as a Wildcat. Hansen, with a pass from the left corner, and Hekle set up the tally.
The 'Cats recorded a 29-12 shot advantage through 40 minutes and pulled away in the scoring column in the third. Shannon Clement (Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario) increased the advantage to 3-1 at 2:20 when her shot from the left circle caromed off Lane and trickled into the net. Lindsey Caleo (Clinton Township, Mich.) initiated the scoring sequence by skaing the puck through the neutral zone along the left dashers and passing off to Clement.
UNH scored a power-play goal at 9:33 to finish the scoring. From the right circle, Hitchcock made a centering pass to Hekle, and she redirected the puck to the right post, where Hansen scored.
New Hampshire returns to action at home Jan. 4 vs. Colgate University. Game time at the Whittemore Center is 7 p.m.

Joel Osteen Says Being Straight Is 'Not A Choice,' But Maintains Being Gay Is A Sin (VIDEO)
Conservative televangelist Joel Osteen went on national television this morning and admitted that his own sexual orientation is not a choice -- despite maintaining consistently in previous interviews that being gay is a sin, albeit one that "God gives us the grace to change."
Osteen has repeatedly tried to tip toe around his stance on homosexuality, telling Piers Morgan in October of 2011 that he's not "mad at anybody" and doesn't "dislike anybody," while reiterating his belief that the scripture says homosexuality is a sin," and "two hundred years from now, the Scripture is still going to say that.
Citing that interview, Socarides, who has often campaigned for LGBT rights, and host O'Brien pushed Osteen to clarify his stance on homosexuality, especially for those gays and lesbians who listen to his sermons that emphasize personal happiness and other uplifting themes.
O'Brien: But for people who are gay, you're saying so then you shouldn't be gay?
Osteen: Well, I think that's the big debate. The scripture says you've got to work out your own salvation.
Socarides: Do you think you can choose to be gay or not gay? You think you choose to be straight?
Osteen: I know I have not chosen to be straight, I just feel like that's who I am.
Socarides: So how can I choose to be gay?
Apparently realizing this answer could be interpreted as a defense of a main LGBT argument -- that people do not choose their sexual orientation -- Osteen backtracked, saying he preferred to stick to "the issues I understand," the Advocate reports.
The pastor's comments were quickly picked up by media outlets, given Osteen's track record on the "born this way" argument.
During a Piers Morgan interview in January 2011, Osteen compared the ability to break an addiction to the ability to stop being gay. "I believe that it's a process. But I believe that God can give us grace to change. We've seen people break addictions, and do other other things as well," Osteen said.
Similarly, in a 2011 interview with the Washington Post's Sally Quinn, Osteen implied that being gay was a (sinful) choice, but that with enough love and support homosexuals might be able to convert to a better, presumably straighter path.
"Somebody that maybe had this certain difficulty now, maybe in five years they're not if we will love them," Osteen said. "You know, I think one of the messages I speak on sometimes is, you know, we can love people back into wholeness."
