Politics Counts
Foreign Policy
To the online seller that said - "we still have to pay shipping charges...." , those are not taxes. If I buy a large item from a brick&mortar retailer I still have to pay a delivery(shipping) charge.
And the reason CONGRESS wants to raise my taxes is to level a playing field? F____ the playing field!
If you can't compete with online retailers, here is a solution: Go find something else to do.
This is just a corporate welfare bill. Walmart, Home Depot, etc. want more barriers for online retailers. And state's always want MORE TAXES.
Buyers at a brick and mortar pay sales tax. Why should online buyers be exempt?
And if you can't collect sales tax and compete with brick and mortar, find something else to do.
Why is it fair for the online buyer to be excused from paying the tax, but the person driving to my store is not.
This is not a new tax--just getting everyone to pay the same sales tax on the same item.
95% of online purchases are subject to sales and use tax. Problem is hardly anyone pays the use tax.
Brick and mortar stores need to worry about 1 tax rate. Under this law, internet companies will have to account for over 9600 different rates around the country, report them and pay them to 50 state monthly, and become subject to audit by 50 different states. Does that sound fair?
Suppose that auditing, appeals, and any legal actions had to be brought in the city or county where the business was located. Would the states go along with that?
They can't even agree to 1 national rate, how are they going to agree to let other states conduct their audits etc. The way to do this is to have 1 national, interstate sales tax rate, collected by the Feds and distributed to the states. That makes compliance infinitely easier and puts everybody on the same footing.
any business can ship to an other state end user and be in the exact same situation. any brick and mortar store with an internet presence that offers shipping would be in a similar situation wouldn't it?
Might as well call it the "Buy Chinese Act". It's already hard enough for US based internet retailers to compete with cheap goods sold by chinese sellers. First it was USPS who started offering cheap trackabable shipping options to these chinese sellers who ship to US. And now if this state tax thing passes, it would be like a nail in the coffin for US based internet retailers.
When the recession hit, I lost my job and started selling on eBay. The business grew and grew. Now I am employ 2 people. Why am i being penalized for my self reliance? my ability to pick myself up, dust myself off, and do what it takes to survive?
The free software is already available, and it works - thousands of online retailers are already using it. It handles rate calculation, reporting, remittance, and even audit defense, all at no cost to retailers because the service is paid for by the states. Visit https:// taxcloud.net to learn more. It is very frustrating to hear people ignore this fact (including commeters in this thread). Senator Wyden on the Senate floor today said "this fantasy software doesnt exist yet." Let me assure you, it does exist, it is already working, and it doesnt cost retailers a penny.
Why I support theMarketplace Fairness Act – it will help millions of small businesses like mine
I've been reading a lot recently about proposed (or soon-to-be-proposed) federal legislation regarding online sales tax collection. But what I've read has mostly focused on Amazon and other large businesses, and I'd like to take a moment to focus on those who will benefit most by the proposed legislation: small business owners.
I'm a small business owner myself. My wife and I own and operate a small sheep farm in upstate New York. We sell our wool products online, and also frequently visit festivals and fairs in other states to sell our livestock, wool, and yarn as well. With every sale, I am faced with the complex and exhausting task of figuring out how much sales tax I need to remit and filling out all the sales tax return forms.
The Marketplace Fairness Act (MFA) provides an incentive for states to simplify their sales tax laws, so that tax categories and definitions are standardized from state to state and there's just one simplified electronic sales tax return for all states. These simplification measures make a huge difference for me: no more trying to figure out if wool is in the same tax category in different states, no more filling out the wrong form, no more needless hours or money spent looking up all the different sales tax rates and figuring out which ones apply to which products.
At this point you may be wondering how the MFA accomplishes all this. After all, the bill simply permits states to require out-of-state retailers (including online retailers) to collect sales tax. But the key is, only those states that have simplified and standardized their sales tax laws would be able to do so. In essence, the bill says that states can require out-of-state retailers to collect sales tax, but only if they make it easy for retailers like me to do so.
A key part of making it easy for retailers to collect sales tax is technology. As one might expect, there are online services available to manage and even automate sales tax for retailers, from calculation to collection to filing. The MFA plays a key role in helping these services and states work together. It's even requires a certification process for sales tax management services to ensure that every state desiring collection authority must test the services and verify they adhere to states laws. For the Streamlined States, at the end of the process, if the service passes, the company offering it becomes a Certified Service Provider – hopefully the certification programs prescribed in the MFA for non-streamlined states will adopt a similar system. The features CSPs offer can vary, but for the most part they manage every aspect of sales tax for the retailer—they calculate the sales tax due, file all the jurisdictional sales tax returns, manage tax exemptions, and even take care of any audits.
Two years ago, I grew so tired of having to deal with the current complex and cumbersome task of remitting sales tax to mine and other states that I began searching for some kind of solution on the internet. Fortunately, I quickly found a free service called TaxCloud, a SSUTA CSP service, which began managing my sales tax calculation, collection, and remittance for every tax jurisdiction in the United States. It was not only simple—it's completely free of charge.
The combination of this technology and the states' simplification efforts ultimately unravels a huge web of entangling forms and paperwork, freeing businesses like mine from bureaucracy, promoting efficiency, and increasing productivity and, most importantly, profitability. They make dealing with sales tax much, much easier for small business owners.
Small business owners like me truly benefit from the simplification of current cumbersome filing requirements and associated expenses. I want more and more states to simplify their sales tax laws, and I know that we need the MFA to make that happen. Therefore, I support the Marketplace Fairness Act.
As I've learned more about the issue I've discovered there are many other reasons to support the MFA, but the reason I first found myself supporting this legislation is not one that I've seen addressed anywhere: it makes sales tax compliance very easy for small businesses (and probably for large ones, too). It's particularly important for retailers who sell in multiple states, whether through a website or catalog or at state fairs and festivals.
We all know that our states are facing major budget issues and need the revenue that the MFA will provide. Don't get me wrong; I dislike taxes just as much as anybody—but I also don't like finding out that that the ballot initiatives we voted for in my community are going unfunded because remote retailers are not required to collect the tax we already approved.
To be clear, the MFA does not create any taxes or raise any taxes. It simply makes collecting the tax already due much easier for the millions of small business owners just like me. Consumers also benefit because they are relieved of the obligation to keep track of and remit the sales tax due on their individual state tax returns.
Congress, I urge you—enact the Marketplace Fairness Act.
Its the fed, getting its cake and eating it too. It gets a tax increase, and more control over the states and our individual lives. A side benefit is that it can use the money to expand the size of government and pay more to retiring former government employees. Anyone that thinks the fed isn't going to jump on this boondoggle is delusional. Anyone that believes that these aren't additional taxes is delusional. Anyone that believes the fed will use its cut for anything other than increasing the size of government is delusional. History is the best predictor of the future, no deficits will be paid and no good will come from this.
Less is more...
If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around, can Democrats figure out a way to tax you for it?
In regards to the "Marketplace Fairness Act". While good intentioned, this legislation is harmful in many ways and since rushed through the Senate deserves a more thoughtful study before passage. Proponents of this bill say it will be easy. REALLY? Even if we take them at their word "only one state tax rate" and "perfect running software to calculate", HOW DO PAYMENTS GET REMITTED to all 46 states? Do we write 46 monthly checks? Not all small merchants run automated and to input additional information by hand is time consuming and takes time away from normal business operations. What about audit risk? Can the tax board in Tennessee come after a merchant in Florida? Is it even moral to burden an out of state merchant to collect taxes on behalf of a state they don't live or work in? Why not ask China or Mexico to collect Tennessee taxes?
Is this constitutional? Will surely be challenged in the courts, but why this legislation is truly harmful is that in such a weak recovery you are burdening the very small businesses that are one of the few sources of growth in our economy. Hiring in the Etailing sector will freeze or decline and companies that are mobile and of large enough scale will simply move offshore to compete. Our tax code is already written in a manner that encourages large companies to domicile offshore this legislation encourages the medium and even portable smaller sized USA businesses to join them. Don't kid yourselves this revenue comes right out of the pockets of the average American consumer who at the moment isn't exactly "winning". The extra taxes the citizens will have to pay means LESS money in their pockets to spend locally DEFLATIONARY (except of course for the growth of state government).
If this legislation must be passed then the small business limit needs to be moved up to at least five million instead of one million as it is easy to get to this level even as a very small company if you sell electronics, cars, machinery, luxury products, travel, etc. The law should require one payment address for all 46 states. Let the software folks forward 46 separate payments not American businessmen and women. Would also be wise to not start this until after the 2013 Holiday Shopping Season.
I guess i will just have to close my online business and lay off my workers sounds like to much work for me
I don't agree with taxing online purchases over state lines. I shop both online and at retail and I don't see any significant advantage online retailers have over brick and mortar. The majority of my purchases are from brick and mortar. When I shop online I have to pay shipping costs for practically all of my online purchases. So the profit advantage that B&M retailers are crying about is nullified. The only advantage I see online retailers have over B&M is that they most likely carry the specific product that I'm looking for and want. Whereas the local brick and mortar stores may not have or will never carry it. The other advantage is saving money on the gas that I would have to pay to drive to the store that I think might have what I want and turns out that they don't.
This is another way for the government to steal money from it's citizens and for big box retailers to gain more control. In the end, this will hurt the consumer if this passes. The government needs to do a better job at managing the taxes we already pay and stop trying to take more money that we don't have.

There is no logical reason buyers should not pay sales taxes for on-line purchases. There is no doubt states are losing tax revenue and retailers are losing business and jobs because of this advantage to on-line shoppers. Any tax law in place now would not have forseen this unfairness.
Please do not tax internet sales, you will only destroy another industry and there will be more people out
of work.
Any tax on IT sales would be unfair. The manufacturing industry was totally destroyed by given it to China
and now Americans do not have jobs and have consume goods from other countries like China which quality
is poor. If IT sales become taxable another industry will be destroyed and more Americans will be out work.
Common sense, please think.
Taxation of any form removes the money from it citizens and places in the hands of at best an inefficient government. If governments were efficient they would'nt need to raise taxes all the time.
If you want equality in sales tax then a national sales tax should be created and at the same time force the state and local municipality to eliminate their own sales tax. Give a % of the National Sales Tax to each state and let the state farm out some of that money to local governments based upon their budget and population.
Now that would be equality! Tax everyone the same or be quiet.
Remember...there are some people who pay a lot more sales tax in their own states and cities.
I don't buy the arguments that the bill helps small businesses (@Sten Wilson , 11.31am). Small brick and mortar companies does NOT check the residency of their customers. But this bill will require small online sellers to check every single customers' residency and calculate the tax according. It also will make online sellers liable for over 50 states taxes.
This bill is NOT about brick/mortar vs online. It is about big businesses vs small online sellers. Notice the biggest online seller (Amazon) is teaming up with biggest brick and mortar (Walmar). The supporters of the bill are almost invariably lobbyists from big businesses or big government tax collectors.
Enough said. The House is well advised not be a sucker and help politicians collect more taxes.
How is this "fair" to brick and mortar stores? They don't check my residence when I purchase their goods, and I don't pay local taxes on purchases I make out of state. If you want to make it "fair" then have the online retailers collect local sales taxes(after all, the sale is taking place at their location, and then you are paying a 3rd party to deliver the good). Then you might see online retailers congregate in areas without sales taxes....
Why not require all of the businesses to submit all of their customer list to the states and make the states responsible for collecting the tax based on their customer list showing where the item was shipped to? Then the burden of the tax is back where it belongs with state government not with purchasers.
As a former corporate tax executive I see this bill as a pure revenue grab by the states (where buyers and retailers will not vote) and a power play by the big online (Amazon) and brick/mortar (WMT) retailers to drive out smaller businesses--both online and brick/mortar. Taxes are already being paid for online purchases by the merchant seller (property, income, excise, etc.) and by the shipper (UPS usually) from their expanded warehouses, increased employment, and use of more delivery trucks.
If fairness is really the goal (which it is not), then have one national sales tax for all 50 states, one rate, one collection and disbursement agency (by formula), and one auditing organization that is nationwide (the IRS). You could eliminate vast swatches of state revenue departments with such a simplified structure. But states oppose that and it would enhance federal power at their expense. So, net-net, fuggetaboutit...Kill the bill.
It's simple u want tax money, Internet buyers should pay. BUT Y MAKE IT COMPLICATED. Your process is backward. CHARGE THE TAX RATE OF THE BUSINESS LOCATION FOR EVERY BUYER. Not the location of the buyer. Just like if I drove to the store to buy it. So the state where the company is located gets the tax money and the out of state buyer pays shipping. END

Two Dutch television-show hosts said they had their flesh cooked by a top chef and then dined on each other before a studio audience. "Nothing is really that special when you're talking about the taste of the meat," host Dennis Storm told ABCNews.com. "But it is weird to look into the eyes of a friend when you are chewing on his belly." Part of Storm's left butt cheek was carved out by a surgeon, while his co-host, Valerio Zeno, opted to have a piece of his abdomen removed, they say. "We went to the butcher, the surgeon and the studio, then we looked at each other and just ate it," Storm said. "The special thing is, it was his flesh, of course."

Woman Mauls Elderly Man In Another Gulf Coast Vampire Attack
In a brutal incident reminiscent of one in Houston three weeks ago, a wheelchair-bound Florida man taking shelter from a storm had part of his face eaten off at an abandoned Hooters restaurant by a young woman claiming to be a vampire. Someone once told me that Pensacola is one of the worst places on Earth, and I'm starting to understand why. Via ABC Action News:

A St. Petersburg man who had dozed off in his motorized wheelchair woke up to find himself being attacked by a woman, according to police. Morton Ellis, 69, said he fell asleep after parking his wheelchair on the porch of a vacant Hooters to escape the rain.
He said the woman, 22-year-old Josephine Rebecca Smith, told him she was a vampire as she bit off chunks of his face and part of his lip.
Ellis managed to fend her off and called police.
Early Humans Likely Practiced Ritualistic Cannibalism
To be fair, 30,000 years ago, there were few other recreational activities to occupy one's spare time. The Archaeology News Network writes:

Archaeologists have found 32,000-year-old human remains in southeastern Europe, which suggest that the earliest humans practiced "mortuary" or "ritual" cannibalism.
The excavated human remains, the oldest known in Europe, were found at a shelter-cave site called Buran-Kaya III in Ukraine and exhibit post-mortem cut marks, the MSNBC reports. "Our observations show a post-mortem treatment of human corpses including the selection of the skull," said the paleozoologist and archaeologist at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, Stephane Pean.
However, Pean said that the treatment of the human bodies, which came with ornaments, did not follow nutritional purposes, rejecting the possibility of dietary cannibalism.
"Observed treatment of the human body, together with the presence of body ornaments, indicates rather a mortuary ritual: either a ritual cannibalism or a specific mortuary practice for secondary disposal," he described.

Police in Pakistan have arrested two men for allegedly digging up a newly buried corpse and eating its flesh in a curry.
The two brothers are said to have cut the legs from the body of a 24-year-old woman and cooked the flesh in a steel pot. Some of the gruesome dish had already been eaten when police raided the brothers' home in a remote part of Punjab province.
A senior police officer, Malik Abdul Rehman, told the Guardian the brothers had been eating corpses for at least a year, but some local media reports alleged that they had been human flesh eaters for a decade.
Rehman said that the brothers, Muhammad Arif, 40, and Farman Ali, 37, seemed to have taken up cannibalism as an act of "revenge" after their mother died and their wives left them.

I shred the meat and mix it with BBQ and red pepper flakes very tasty." • Celebrities: "[Miley Cyrus] needs to be hung upside down from a meathook, have her throat slit, and be sliced into chunks of meat.

Teen Cannibals on Trial for Dismembering and Eating Their Four Friends
From Pravda:

Legal trial with regard to the notorious Satanists case has commenced in the regional court of Yaroslavl, Russia. Eight teenagers are being accused of cannibalism and brutal murder of their four friends. The Satanists spent a year and a half in a detention facility, and are now finally in court.
Last week, the first hearing was held. The case details are so shocking that the hearings are closed to the general public. Eight teenagers, sect members, murdered their friends, ate their hearts, dismembered their bodies and buried them in several places. The mothers of the innocent victims who are to find out all the case details have demanded that the judge gave the criminals a life sentence.
Indictments were handed out to Alexei Chistyakov, Konstantin Baranov, Ksenia Kovaleva, Nikolai Ogolobyak, Alexander Voronov, Aleksei Soloviev, Sergey Karpenko and Anton Makovkin. The teenagers enjoyed watching their friends die a painful death.
The Virginia Colonists at Jamestown Practiced Cannibalism
Another chapter from my book 50 Things You're Not Supposed to Know, inspired by historian Howard Zinn, who passed away earlier this year.
For more me, check out: The Memory Hole.
During the harsh winter of 1609–1610, British subjects in the famous colony of Jamestown, Virginia, ate their dead and their shit. This fact doesn't make it into very many U.S. history textbooks, and the state's official website apparently forgot to mention it in their history section.
When you think about it rationally, this fact should be a part of mainstream history. After all, it demonstrates the strong will to survive among the colonists. It shows the mind-boggling hardships they endured and overcame. Yet the taboo against eating these two items is so overpowering that this episode can't be mentioned in conventional history.
Luckily, an unconventional historian, Howard Zinn, revealed this fact in his classic, A People's History of the United States.… Read the rest

Mary Jill Donovan, one of Webster's attorney's, said Ray Lewis will not be called to testify in this case.
Earlier story:
Nathaniel Nate Webster's accuser stood up to withering questioning Thursday as taped telephone calls played to jurors confirmed Webster had sex with the girl.
The accuser now is 18 but said she had sex with the former Cincinnati Bengal football player in the fall of 2009 when she was 15. She spent her second day on the witness stand answering aggressive questions from one of Websters attorneys who insist the girl was 16 when she had sex with the married Webster.
The tactic from Webster's team has been to put the girl on trial, questioning her drinking, smoking marijuana and having sex with an adult. Gregory Samms, one of Websters attorneys, got the girl to admit she was kicked out of a school for drinking alcohol.
The girl said Webster groped and sexually assaulted her in 2009 when she was 15. Later, she admitted they had a sexual relationship in the fall of 2009, also when she was 15. On Thursday, prosecutors played for jurors telephone conversations the girl had with Webster she taped them with the help of police who acknowledged he had sex with her.
I got this new move I want to try, Webster said on the tape.
Like a sexual move? the girl asked.
A nasty move, Webster said.
Websters lawyers, though, insisted the girl was 16 when she had sex with him. Its illegal in Ohio for an adult Webster was 31 in the fall of 2009 to have sex with a 15-year-old. In Ohio, 16 is the age of consent.
Prosecutors also produced phone records that show in September 2009, when the girl was 15, she and Webster exchanged 450 text messages and 256 phone calls.
As the girl was testifying, prosecutors displayed three guns an assault rifle, a handgun and a pistol-grip shotgun seized from Webster. The allegations against Webster include him having guns near the girl when they had sex, possibly to intimidate her.
She and Webster often met, the tapes revealed, at the spot, the parking lot of an apartment complex near Websters Symmes Township home.
Mary Jill Donovan, one of Webster's attorneys, said Thursday she was unsure when or if she would call All-Pro LB Ray Lewis to testify in this case. She has subpoenaed him to testify. Prosecutors are expected to rest their case today and the defense to start Monday.
If Webster is convicted, he faces more than 30 years in prison.

Minister Cannon Condemns Extremist Targeting of Christians in Iraq
(No. 1 - January 1, 2011 - 11:50 a.m. ET) The Honourable Lawrence Cannon, Minister of Foreign Affairs, today issued the following statement regarding a spate of violence in Iraq against the Christian community:
"The Government of Canada continues to be deeply concerned about the plight of minorities in Iraq.
"Canada strongly condemns these senseless and shameful acts of violence. Iraqi minorities, including the Christian community, are especially vulnerable to violence and discrimination. Al Qaeda in Iraq's stated policy of targeting Iraqi Christians demonstrates its violent ideology and lack of respect for human dignity and religious tenets.
"The Government of Canada firmly supports the people and the Government of Iraq in their efforts to bring about a secure, stable, unified and democratic country. Canada welcomes the Government of Iraq's commitment to protecting its minority communities and continues to support freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law in Iraq."

Use a dish dry rack to organize and store tupperware lids. The kind that has four sides, holds small parts in, and the the slots hold them upright.
I have been racking my brain the past few days. Whenever I get cereal, I will put one serving in a bowl with a lid one serving so when I'm in a hurry in the morning, I won't need to measure.
Each day, do one small thing that will lead you to a better tomorrow.

Two Republican lawmakers want to make the Michigan Department of Civil Rights pay if schools are forced to drop their American Indian mascots and nicknames.
The department filed a federal complaint earlier this year, asking the U.S. Department of Educations Office of Civil Rights to issue an order prohibiting the use of Indian mascots, names, nicknames, slogans, chants and imagery.
Thirty-five Michigan schools were cited in the complaint. But if the complaint is successful, it would impact schools nationwide.
The legislation, introduced by state Reps. Bob Genetski, R-Saugatuck, and Dan Lauwers, R-Brockway Township, would create a $3-million Mascot Reimbursement Fund. The fund would cover the expenses of schools that have to change mascots. The money to create the fund would come from the budget of the Michigan Department of Civil Rights (MDCR).
The civil rights department filed its complaint independently, without input from local citizens, so it can pay for any necessary changes it may have caused, Genetski said in a news release today. Our schools need all of their funding focused in the classroom educating our children, not being taken up by somebodys special pet project.
Lauwers, in the same release, said he hopes nothing comes of the misguided complaint, but a plan must be in place if the feds do require schools to change mascots.
The MDCR complaint was filed in response to research the department said shows that the use of Indian imagery negatively affects student learning.
Vicki Levengood, spokeswoman for the MDCR, said the department knows about the financial challenges schools face and wants schools to replace uniforms, logos and other imagery through the normal replacement schedule. That means a school that needs to order athletic uniforms with a new team name could do so the next time it replaces all the uniforms, Levengood said.
The schools should not incur additional expenses, Levengood said.
She said the plan would be modeled after one used in Oregon, which banned the use of Indian imagery in 2012 and gave schools five years to make the change.
Levengood said the filing came after several decades of pushing schools to change. The goal is to ensure Indian students dont face hostile school environments.
The imagery reinforces the stereotypes and has a negative impact on the academic achievement for American Indian students. The evidence is unrebutted, she said.

Saturday's season opener in Syracuse not only signaled the start of the Bears' 75th AHL anniversary season, it also marked a milestone for the team's oldest player - captain Boyd Kane.
When the 34-year-old forward returned to the ice donning a 'C' - the third time he's done so in Hershey - he became just the fifth player in club history to wear it more than two seasons. He joined the ranks of Bear greats Dave Fenyves (1987-1993), Wally Kilrea (1939-43), Mike Nykoluk (1967-71) and Brad Larsen (1998-2001).
Entering his fifth season with the Bears, Kane will be looking to lift his fourth career Calder Cup. The 14-year AHL veteran helped guide the Philadelphia Phantoms to a Cup in 2004-05 before arriving in Hershey for runs in 2005-06 and 2009-10.
Kane signed a one-year deal in June to return to anchor a club with an average age of 25.9. The 26-player lineup card features 10 newcomers including Jon DiSalvatore, the leader of the Houston Aeros for the past three seasons. DiSalvatore and Ryan Potulny served as alternates in the season opener against the Crunch.
"I've been lucky enough to play with a lot of the new guys in the past somewhere," Kane said. "They're all good people and they're all guys that are going to work hard. I think that's where we got to get back to, being a solid team and working hard every night.
Goals, assists and personal achievements are auxiliary aspects of Kane's game. Still, the 6-foot-2, 220-pounder has racked up 473 points (200 goals) in 865 AHL contests.
He's also suited up for Hartford and Springfield to go with his five seasons in Philly. His career accolades were recognized by the league at least year's All-Star Game in Atlantic City when he wore the "C" for the Eastern Conference.
"He's won three Calder Cups," Hershey co-head coach Mark French. "On the ice, he's one of those guys that hates to lose. I don't know if ever coached a player who hates the feeling of losing as bad as Boyd does. That's a good attribute to have."
A native of Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Kane has been called up to the NHL for 21 games since being drafted in 1998. He was selected by the New York Rangers in the fourth round, six picks after current teammate Dany Sabourin (Calgary Flames) in a draft including first-rounders Vincent Lecavalier, Simon Gagne and Alex Tanguay.
"I think it helps every team in (the AHL)," Kane said of the NHL lockout, which hit the one-month mark Monday. "Every team's probably getting some guys that wouldn't be here. For us, we have (Braden) Holtby and (Dmitry) Orlov and maybe a couple of other guys that would be (in Washington). That makes the league here so much better."
A year ago, Kane finished with 19 goals and 22 assists and a team-best plus-12 in 67 games as the captain. He followed Andrew Joudrey (2010-11) and Bryan Helmer (2008-2010) in line as Hershey's locker room leader.
"He has more of a quiet presence, but when he speaks, everyone listens," explained Potulny. "He always gives 110 percent. You know what you're going to get out of him every game. He's going to work as hard as he can.
"On the ice, he'll get a little fired up every now and then; that's just him being an athlete and showing his competitiveness. He's really an even-keeled kind of guy that you want as captain. He's never too excited or too down, he's always there. You look up to a guy like that."
The Bears play the second game of the season Friday night in Binghamton, 2-1 winners over Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in their home opener last Saturday.
"I don't think it's something you can put a figure on, every team is different," Kane said regarding chemistry and cohesion. "It's going to be a learning system for everybody; the coaches and the players that were here and the new guys. It's going to take some time. There are going to be some mistakes, but we're all in it together, and the sooner we come together, the better off we'll be."
Hershey plays its home opener at Giant Center on Saturday at 7 p.m. against the AHL's second oldest team Rochester. The first 8,000 fans will receive a team schedule magnet courtesy of PNC Bank.

|Inactivation of Escherichia coli by sonoelectrocatalytic disinfection using TiO(2) as electrode.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23141189 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|This is the first study to demonstrate sonoelectrocatalytic disinfection using titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) as an anode for effective inactivation of Escherichia coli. In brief, a non-woven TiO(2) fabric used as an anode and a platinum cathode were immersed in an E. coli suspension in which a positive potential was applied to TiO(2) concomitant with ultrasound (US) irradiation. Two control experiments were performed using E. coli suspensions to exhibit the effects of the sonoelectrocatalytic disinfection. One was disinfection by applying a positive potential to a TiO(2) electrode, but without US irradiation (electrochemical disinfection). The other was disinfection without applying a potential, but with US irradiation in the presence of TiO(2) (sonocatalytic disinfection). The cell inactivation rate in sonoelectrocatalytic disinfection was synergistically much more enhanced than the combined inactivation rates in electrochemical disinfection and sonocatalytic disinfection. This synergistically enhanced inactivation rate of E. coli cells was attributable to effective reaction of the sonocatalytically generated OH radicals with E. coli cells at the surface of the TiO(2) anode, which resulted from the electroadsorption of E. coli cells toward the TiO(2) anode.

Nabolom Community
Nabolom is proud to be an integral part of the East Bay community. We're more than just a cafe—we're a space for study sessions, art shows, , band practices, field trips, and improv piano performances. We hope to be a warm and welcoming place for every person who walks through our doors. People have grown up eating our pastries and make special visits to us because our pastries taste like home.
We love all our customers, both regular and new, and welcome each patron into our giant extended family. We'd love to feature you on this Community Page and thank you for being so loyal. Please email your photo and/or description to nabolombakery (at) gmail.com.
Moira Roth has been coming daily to Nabolom for the last twenty-five years, and during the Fall of 2010—she sat by the café window, notebook in hand, writing a series of autobiographical texts, calling them "Reflections in the Café." This illustrated memoir, "Fragments of an Autobiography or Remembering in the House of Time: From London to Wisconsin, 1933–2010," together with her poem," The House of Time," can now be found on the Web in issue 55, "Women's Voices from the House of Time," of the online American Studies Journal, based in Germany.
In 2011–2012 Moira was the blogger for the 18th Biennale of Sydney in Australia and traveled there by ship. Since then she has resumed working on her narrative (often writing it at Nabolom by the window table) about Rachel Marker, a fictional character who lives through one hundred years of European history. See online brochure of her 2013 exhibition, "Through the Eyes of Rachel Marker: A Literary Installation," held at The Magnes in Berkeley. Also in an online review of this exhibition by Marcia Tanner there is a photo (by Moira Roth) of a Nabolom table by the window with a spread of cup and muffin with photographs, a mirror and a notebook relating to Rachel Marker.

Hollywood is hassling Rob Zombie again. Only this time, the studio behind the singer's sequel to "House of 1000 Corpses" is breathing down his neck for different reasons.
Universal Pictures bankrolled Zombie's directorial debut a couple of years ago, only to pass on releasing it after executives found a grisly rough cut too disturbing. Lions Gate Films, the distributor behind the similarly violent "American Psycho," eventually snapped up the picture after a potential deal with MGM was derailed by a joke Zombie made in the press (see "Rob Zombie Finds Resting Place For His
'Corpses' " ).
"[Making the movie] is totally different this time," Zombie happily reported recently. "With Lions Gate, they came to the rescue. And they really believe in the project. It's more like the opposite [of making the last one]. This time they are wishing me to move faster, so it's kind of funny."
When the original "House of 1000 Corpses" finally hit theaters, it didn't exactly burn up the box office. But the low-budget shocker's more-than-profitable $12.5 million haul was enough to justify a return visit to the creepy "House" (see "Rob Zombie Digging Up 'Corpses' Sequel, Producing Comedy LP" ).
"I started [writing] the sequel before I knew that I had a deal, because I just kind of function that way," Zombie explained. "It's almost done. Most of the script is completed, and if all goes well, we should start shooting in the fall."
Drawing loosely from Zombie favorites like "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Last House on the Left," the first "Corpses" introduced a twisted family of cannibals who terrorized two lost couples. Characters like Capt. Spaulding and Dr. Satan quickly became popular with horror movie fans.
"The fan reaction has been amazing, and that's all you can hope for, really," Zombie said. "Without getting too specific, what I want to do with the second one, I don't want to re-create the first one and just put a '2' on the end of it. [It takes place] a week later, and [it deals with] the repercussions of what happened in the first film.
"At this point I kind of know what everybody loves, and that's all the bad characters, obviously," he added. "So it's just them going off on other things. But it's going to be totally different than anyone expects. And it will probably be a lot more violent."
In addition to the "Corpses" sequel, Zombie has a number of other projects in the works, including the Halloween launch of his "Spookshow International" comic, a Dark Horse-distributed team-up with "30 Days of Night" scribe Steve Niles called "The Nail," a comedy album he's producing for "Corpses" star Chris Hardwick, and of course the inevitable DVD release of the first "House of 1000 Corpses."
"It used to be everyone [would ask], 'When's the movie coming out?' " Zombie said with a laugh. "We answered that question, so now it's, 'When's the unrated movie coming out?' That's all anyone cares about. You just can't give these kids enough blood!"
"[The answer is] it doesn't exist yet," he explained. "I have to create it. Then it will be ready to come out."
According to Lions Gate, "House of 1000 Corpses" will hit DVD on August 12 with commentary from Zombie, trailers, screen tests and featurettes specifically designed for the DVD.

Three story apartment building, Type VB construction.
The NFPA-13R sprinkler system.
An architect who reads 903.3.1.2 to say that the 13R residential sprinkler system is an equal substitute for a NFPA13 system only in R occupancies of four stories or less.
Now I have read IBC 504.2 several times over and my interpretation is that both height and area increases are allowed for the full NFPA-13 sprinkler system. But the 13R sprinkler system is good for only the height increase.
Would you concur with my interpretation that the 13R system does not allow for area increase?

Banned Books Week, which coincides with the new school year each autumn, is usually a time when scholars, book lovers, and legal analysts discuss how censorship impacts society and education. One would expect those in charge of our schools to hold all aspects of education- especially books- most dear.
As it turns out, at least one Superintendent has a different view.
Dawson Orr, of the Highland Park ISD in Texas, made the autonomous decision to ignore district policy and remove seven books from classroom shelves. In doing so, he set off a firestorm that reached the national level.
The books were reinstated and the district's policies on book selection for classroom use and how challenges to those books are handled is under review.
Move forward four months and The Working Poor, a non-fiction work about poverty by David Skipler, is threatened yet again in the district on accusations that it is "sexually explicit" and "has no place in a high school English course". The course is Advanced Placement English III and is a college-level course for juniors.
The book tells the true stories of people in the United States living just above the federal poverty line. The English department's review of the book for the district listed an acknowledgement that the book contained some material that could be considered controversial, but deemed the work an asset "to build students' capacity for empathy and knowledge of an issue facing millions in America and millions more across the world."
The parent who filed the complaint stated that "The Working Poor is not a great work of literature or an example of rich writing we want our students to emulate. One must ask, is this the best piece of literature our students can read to learn to write?"
She argued that if English teachers want to teach global poverty and economic equality, alternate books such as Out of the Dust, by Karen Hesse, We the Living, by Ayn Rand, and America the Beautiful, by Ben Carson, were more appropriate.
The disagreement being put forth is that material of a social or economic nature that speaks of economic inequality is unfit for a college-level English course; but material by Ayn Rand, whom is often associated with conservative policies and often quoted by the wealthiest members of American political and economic organizations is.
Carson is a regular on Fox News and other conservative media programs. His book has received no serious critical praise; in fact the most notable discussion about it has been the charge that passages were plagiarized.
So much for the complainant's "quality literature" argument.
It should be noted that the Highland Park ISD is one of the wealthiest in Texas. Both sides in the debate acknowledge the perpetuated stereotypes.
The author of the contested book stated that he is unaware of it being challenged in any other district. Following the initial suspension in September, he added an afterward about the issue in his forthcoming book, Freedom of Speech: Mightier Than the Sword.
Shipler defends that there is nothing "prurient, obscene or sexually explicit in the book" and the anecdotes by women quoted in the book mentioning issues of sexual abuse and abortion only did so because they felt the trauma was relevant to their issues. He included them not only because they were valid topics for the subject matter, but also to describes challenges that cut across socioeconomic lines and teach readers about harsh realities.
The dispute has resulted in the formation of two opposing groups in the community: Speak Up for Standards, which objects to some mature content in high school books, and HP Kids Read, which opposes book suspensions and censorship.
Shipler mentions that he has conducted many discussions in schools across the country and has a granddaughter attending high school. He has found that not only do most children that age understand such material, they are fully capable of making informed and intelligent decisions and opinions related to that material.
Take, for example, Highland Park senior Gaby Gear. She said that, "It didn't seem like a big deal when we read it. Just kind of the realities of life."
Another senior, who read the book last year, said that those realities had an impact on her.
"To me, it kind of opened my eyes," says Maddie Kelly. "I couldn't imagine going through that."
The proposed changes to the district's policy on controversial material will be voted on later this month or in February. The new proposals include:
- Staff "place principle above personal opinion and reason above prejudice" when selecting instructional material. It ensures that books "are evaluated as a whole and selected for their strengths rather than rejected for their weaknesses" and are not "masked, clipped, or altered in any manner inconsistent with the author's intent." The removal of controversial materials from the library will be prohibited.
- The principal or a designee will be required to review guidelines with teachers each year about how to select instructional material and handle objections.
- Eliminate an approved book list for the high school. Teachers currently pick books from the list to teach in class or assign for outside reading. Instead, the district would create a new annual approval process. (Highland Park High School Principal, Walter Kelly, said the approved book list opens the district to criticism over books that haven't been used for years. It also limits teachers to about 200 approved titles.)
- Changes to how the high school uses permission slips. Permission slips will go home to parents the first week of the school year along with a course overview. The early notice would allow teachers more time to plan alternative assignments if a parent or student "opts out."
- Puts safeguards in place to avoid interruption of classroom lessons and a continuous cycle of challenges. It prohibits a formal challenge to the same material or an appeal to reinstate a removed material until two calendar years have passed.
- Parents can only formally challenge material that's in use or scheduled for use. If a committee deems a book inappropriate, the superintendent can delay removal of the book "if he or she determines the immediate removal would be disruptive to the instructional process."
- Creates a timeline for the annual review of books that teachers plan to use during the upcoming school year. It allows time for parents to review that list and raise objections.

Later in life he dedicated his time to coaching Pop Warner football in Newtown and worked in various sales jobs, including Boar's Head and Red Bull, until he retired in 2008.

Miami Pace athlete DeMarcus Van Dyke went back and forth between Florida and Miami before finally publicly committing to the Hurricanes at the beginning of June.
Since that commitment, things have quieted down greatly. Other than Miami, only two programs are staying in constant contact and one of the two will get an unofficial visit later this month.
After going public with the commitment, it's been an uneventful month on the recruiting front for Van Dyke, who decided against camping anywhere, but did visit the Hurricanes for an unofficial visit. "Nothings been happening lately," replied Van Dyke when asked about the goings on in the world of recruiting. "I went to the three day camp at Miami. I didn't do much of anything but watch and talk to the coaches. They told me they were happy to have me and they expect me to be a great one for them."
Immediately after running a 4.3 forty at the Maimi NIKE Camp, the 6-foot, 161-pound speedster was seeing offers come in right and left before he made his commitment. While that has slowed and many who were recruiting him have backed off, two colleges are still charging ahead and for that it looks as if they will be rewarded. ...More...
