HELENA – As he completes his first year as director of the state Revenue Department, former Missoula mayor Mike Kadas is looking ahead to some goals he has for the agency: tax simplification, transparency and more effective service.
"I strongly believe that having a tax system that is understandable by the taxpayer is critical to the support of that system by citizens," Kadas said in an interview. "I'll work to simplify the system so that it's more transparent and understandable, and I'll also work to be out there and try to help explain it."
Kadas also wants to improve efficiencies and try to have more tax filings done electronically. He hopes to work with local governments to achieve that with property taxes.
"We definitely want to do more with less, and so we're constantly looking for more efficient ways to provide the services that we provide, and I think we have a pretty good record of that," Kadas said.
Up to 85 percent of state income tax returns now are filed electronically. Taxpayers owed refunds get them in four or five days if they filed electronically versus three weeks if they mailed their returns.
Two major priorities for 2014 are the statewide reappraisal, or revaluing, of property and implementation of a 2013 law to reduce property taxes on business equipment.
"Preparing the whole reappraisal package for the next Legislature is a huge project," Kadas said. "Then the Legislature will have an opportunity to essentially review it. If they want to change any of the rates for classes or do a phase-in, they can do it."
Past residential reappraisals have been controversial, with values increasing by higher percentages in certain parts of the state than others.
Kadas said he'll spend time traveling this spring and summer, letting people know what will be coming with reappraisals.
The department is implementing Senate Bill 96, by Sen. Bruce Tutvedt, R-Kalispell, the most significant new tax law signed into law by Gov. Steve Bullock. It changes how business equipment is taxed.
"With that, we were essentially able to take two-thirds of the businesses — all small businesses — off of having to file their business equipment taxes anymore," Kadas said.
Kadas, 57, brings diverse credentials as revenue director, including 14 years as a state legislator, 10 years as the elected mayor of Missoula and five years as an executive of a startup business, Rivertop Renewables.
These experiences reinforce to Kadas the importance of communicating well with the people he works with — from his boss, the governor, to department employees, taxpayers and legislators.
"I'm trying to make sure people know if they have something to say to us, that we'll hear it," he said. "We may not always agree, but we want to hear criticism and suggestions. We're going to do our best job to be responsive to that."
Kadas also has been willing to settle longstanding tax protests with some corporations, which is a departure from recent practices at the department. The agency resolved property tax disputes with CHS Inc. over its refinery in Laurel and Puget Sound Energy over its share of the Colstrip power plants and transmission lines.
"I've always been, and I think I always will be, open to discussing things with anybody," Kadas said. "I feel more comfortable operating that way. So we've had a couple of cases where taxpayers have come to us and wanted to discuss settling and we've had a couple of cases where we've gone to taxpayers said, 'Do you want to talk about this?' I think we'll continue to do this.
"But obviously, every discussion isn't successful. We've had other conversations that were not as fruitful."
Department officials must evaluate the state's economic exposure and the chances of winning and getting a good precedent versus a bad one if it loses, he said. But Kadas said the department will stand its ground on cases that are "absolutely cut and dried."
"I think, unfortunately, there are some businesses who essentially make it part of their corporate strategy to push the boundaries as far as they possibly can," he said. "I think we just cannot give into that."
Gov. Bullock, who appointed Kadas, said he has "known and admired him for a long time."
"The experience he brings to the table, both in state and local government, as well as his relationships and understanding of the private sector, make him an invaluable member of my team," Bullock said. "He is incredibly bright and is both visionary and pragmatic at the same time. Mike has earned not only my respect, but the respect of his colleagues throughout his career."
Kadas also drew praise from Tutvedt, a key Republican who chairs the Senate Taxation Committee.
"I think Mike's doing a good job," Tutvedt said. "I worked well with Mike at the session. Mike has just has a more inclusive way and appears to be trying to finding a fair resolution to the taxes owed (by some companies)."

Man held for daughter's 2003 rapeComment on this story
Jabulani, Soweto - A Soweto man was arrested on Thursday for allegedly raping his own daughter in Jabulani, Gauteng police said.
The crime was allegedly committed in 2003. The teenager was eight years old at the time, Warrant Officer Kay Makhubele said.
Makhubele said the youth, now 17, reported the matter to police on Wednesday. She was taken to a doctor.
"The results are in the docket and will be presented before the magistrate," he said.
The crime was allegedly committed when the mother was out of province at the time. On her return she was told about the incident but nothing was done, said Makhubele.
Other family members knew about the matter and they kept quiet.
"Those who kept quiet about this crime might be charged for defeating the ends of justice," he said.
The man will appear in the Protea Magistrate's Court on Friday. - Sapa

Full-time students attending classes at Brookdale Community College in the fall could see an increase of $60 to their tuition.
College trustees are attempting to take the next step toward approval of a new $86.7 million budget in which tuition would increase $3.25 per credit, or 2.8 percent, for an increase of $60 for students with a course load of 15 credits.
In-county students pay $115.50 for each credit in tuition and $27.72 per credit in fees. But beginning July 1 - if county officials sign off on the spending plan Feb. 13 - county residents would pay $118.75 for each credit hour, for a maximum ...

When a couple divorces and there is a minor child involved, the divorce decree will specify who has physical custody as well as legal custody of the child. Physical custody determines where and with whom the child will live. Legal custody specifies who has the legal right to make important decisions about the child related to issues such as education, religion, medical issues, and discipline. Spouses often reach an agreement regarding child custody on their own, but if they do not, a Montana court will intervene and establish custody arrangements based on the best interests of the child. For a complete explanation of divorce and custody laws in the state of Montana, go to lawyers.com.
There are typically several different custody arrangements that may be made for children of divorced parents. In most cases, courts will award physical custody to one parent with whom the child will live most of the time. The parent with physical custody, or the custodial parent, often shares legal custody, or the right to make decisions regarding the child, with the non-custodial parent. Many child custody arrangements involve joint custody in which the child spends a relatively equal amount of time with each parent.
In Montana, child custody is known as parenting, and parenting plans are the state's version of custody arrangements. According to Montana law, sole or joint parenting is awarded based on the best interests of the child and the consideration of the following factors:
According to Montana code, the parents must submit a parenting plan to the court. They may choose to submit a temporary or "interim" parenting plan. When Montana courts consider parenting plans, a parent's sex is not to be considered.
In Montana, a parent who intends to change residences must provide written notice to the other parent. If a parent's change of residence will significantly affect the child's contact with the other parent, notice must be served personally or through certified mail no less than 30 days before the proposed change in residence, and it must include a proposed revised residential schedule. The failure on the part of the parent who receives the notice to respond or seek amendment of the residential schedule within the 30-day period constitutes acceptance of the proposed, revised, residential schedule.

The core of Yo La Tengo (Spanish for the outfielder's cry of "I've got it!") was comprised of singer/guitarist Kaplan and his wife, drummer/vocalist Georgia Hubley. After forming the band in 1984, they placed an advertisement seeking other musicians to round out the lineup, requesting applicants who shared their fondness for the Soft Boys, Mission of Burma, and Arthur Lee's Love. A number of bassists and lead guitarists passed through the band's roster during its formative years, but after bowing in late 1985 with the single "The River of Water," backed by a cover of Love's "A House Is Not a Motel," Yo La Tengo's membership appeared to stabilize with the additions of guitarist Dave Schramm and bassist Mike Lewis prior to the sessions for 1986's full-length roots pop debut, Ride the Tiger, produced by former Mission of Burma bassist Clint Conley.
However, both Schramm and Lewis exited in the wake of the record's release, leaving Kaplan to assume lead guitar duties. Bassist Stephan Wichnewski signed on for 1987's New Wave Hot Dogs, a more assured outing that brought the group's Velvet Underground obsession to the fore via a cover of the early VU composition "It's Alright (The Way That You Live)." Not only did Kaplan's introverted, half-spoken vocals and buzzing guitar work closely recall Lou Reed, but Hubley's rock-steady drumming and breathy backing turns simultaneously conjured memories of vintage Maureen Tucker. Even better was 1989's President Yo La Tengo, recorded with producer and guest bassist Gene Holder; opening with the droning squalls of the stunning "Barnaby, Hardly Working," the record spotlighted the group's sonic schizophrenia by including two Jekyll-and-Hyde versions of the track "The Evil That Men Do" -- one a gorgeous instrumental, the other a blistering feedback freakout.
Schramm returned to the fold for 1990's Fakebook, a remarkable acoustic folk-pop journey through Kaplan's record collection and a virtual family tree of Yo La Tengo reference points. A wonderfully low-key collection of covers ranging from forgotten nuggets (the Kinks' "Oklahoma U.S.A.," the Flamin' Groovies' "You Tore Me Down," Gene Clark's "Tried So Hard") to absolute obscurities (Rex Garvin & the Mighty Cravers' "Emulsified," the Escorts' "The One to Cry," the Scene Is Now's "Yellow Sarong"), Fakebook also included a handful of outstanding new originals as well as luminous retakes of the previous record's "Barnaby, Hardly Working" and New Wave Hot Dogs' "Did I Tell You?" The superb That Is Yo La Tengo EP previewed 1992's May I Sing With Me, the first effort to feature permanent bassist James McNew (formerly of Christmas). A return to noise typified by the hot-wired nine-minute feedback saga "Mushroom Cloud of Hiss," the record balanced out its extremist tendencies with the occasional sidestep into melodic beauty ("Detouring America With Horns") and infectious indie pop ("Upside-Down").
A move to the Matador label predated the release of 1993's Painful, another winner informed by the atmospherics of shoegazer drones and dream pop. Bookended by radically opposed renditions of the track "Big Day Coming" -- the first an organ-driven mood piece, the other an edgy guitar outing -- the record pushed Yo La Tengo in a multitude of new directions, significantly expanding the trio's palette of sounds and textures. Released in 1995, Electr-O-Pura continued the progression, zigzagging from dead-on British Invasion re-creations (the sparkling "Tom Courtenay") to shimmering folk (the Hubley-sung "Pablo and Andrea") to bracing sonic experimentation ("Decora"). After 1996's Genius + Love Equals Yo La Tengo, a two-disc compendium of B-sides, compilation tracks, rare singles, and unreleased material, the trio resurfaced in the spring of 1997 with I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One; And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out followed in early 2000.
The group also performed a three-night stint as the backing band for Ray Davies on his 2000 U.S. tour, and in 2002 released The Sounds of the Sounds of Science, a soundtrack to the undersea documentaries of French filmmaker Jean Painleve. That fall, they released the Nuclear War single, which featured several versions of Sun Ra's epic, and that winter performed their second annual Hanukkahpalooza, an eight-night musical festival at Hoboken, NJ's Maxwell's, which also featured a special limited-edition EP of Christmas songs. Yo La Tengo released Summer Sun in spring 2003, and that year Georgia Hubley performed in Mirror Man, an avant-garde rock opera by Pere Ubu's David Thomas.
In 2005, Matador Records paid homage to the band's 20th year as recording artists with the career-spanning compilations Prisoners of Love: A Smattering of Scintillating Senescent Songs: 1985-2003 and A Smattering of Outtakes and Rarities 1986-2003. The band returned the following year with the strong all-new album I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide less

|Lung function in atrial septal defect after heart surgery.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 1428285 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Lung volume, indices of lung elasticity and airway patency were measured in 74 patients, 9-21 yr old (15.0 +/- 2.5 yr) with atrial septal defect (secundum type) from 2-11 (5.1 +/- 2.5) yr after successful surgical correction. Clinical condition in all patients was classified as excellent. Heart surgery was performed at the age of 4-14.8 (9.9 +/- 3.0) yr. Lung function abnormalities were found in 35 (47.3%) patients. Lung recoil pressure was significantly increased in 24 (32.4%) patients. The mean value of lung recoil pressure at 100% of total lung capacity reached 123 +/- 31% of the predicted value (P < 0.0001). Specific static compliance was within normal limits. Specific airway conductance was significantly reduced in 13 (17.6%) patients. Maximum expiratory flow at 25% of vital capacity was significantly reduced in 4 (5.4%) patients. Static lung volumes did not differ from reference values. Since various abnormalities of lung function tests (most frequently the tests suggested increased lung stiffness and obstruction of larger airways) were revealed in almost half of the studied children and adolescents after successful surgery for atrial septal defect, we propose to carry out lung function tests routinely as another criterion of health conditions in these patients.

It is a sunny, brisk spring afternoon and I am sitting in my car, watching soccer practice.
It's only the second practice of the year, and the girls are all showing some rust. They're not moving real fast and a few of them are having trouble keeping their balance as they stand on one foot during warm-ups. The cold wind isn't helping.
Of course, despite the chill in the air and the gusty breeze, about half of the players -- my daughter included -- are wearing shorts and T-shirts.
Daughter insists she isn't cold. Ever. Somehow it's never cold enough to wear a coat and yet never too warm for knee-high boots. Those goosebumps are normal, Mom.
But then again, I never did speak the language of fashion. When I was her age, my closet was a disaster area. As I recall, I was wearing toos that year -- too tight, too short, too bright, too tacky for words.
So I focus on the fact that my daughter looks nice and try not to think too much about whether it's seasonally appropriate.
I also try to focus on how much fun my husband and I will have watching soccer games later this season and not think about all of the chores I could be getting done at home if I didn't have to be sitting here. It takes almost 25 minutes to drive to the practice field, so there's no point in trying to run home during practice.
There's a nice pile of laundry waiting for me, including a sleeping bag that's been sitting in the laundry room for about a month now. I got behind on everything when the washing machine's drain clogged up in late winter.
For several weeks, I had to stand in front of the washer every time it emptied and shut it off the moment I saw water start splashing out of the drain pipe. Then I'd wait a few minutes for the drain to clear before starting the machine back up. It was getting to where I'd have to shut the machine off three times before all of the water emptied.
Needless to say, I only did laundry when it was absolutely essential.
We finally had a chance to snake out the drain -- which was really disgusting and not the slightest bit fun -- but I'm still playing catch-up.
I haven't even considered doing much spring cleaning, other than scrubbing down the entire kitchen in early February. I'd made new kitchen curtains, and they were so nice and fresh and lovely that they made me painfully aware of all of the cobwebs in the corners and the thick layer of dust and dog fur under the table. I even cleaned the oven that day.
Two months later, the kitchen's a mess again. So is the rest of the house.
My niece, who is studying the art of photography, wants to come photograph our bedroom for a school project. I'm perfectly willing to let her -- but not until I've cleaned the blades of the ceiling fan and dusted all of my knick-knacks. She has been waiting very patiently, but I imagine she's going to have to turn that assignment in soon.
I've been focusing most of my attention on the yard, thanks to all of the sunny weather.
All of the dead stuff from last year has been cleared out of my flower beds now, and I've been dreaming up new projects -- which is pretty much an annual tradition for me.
This year, I plan to move my backyard vegetable and herb gardens closer to the house, where we should have less trouble with bugs and critters. It should make it easier to pop out the kitchen door to grab some fresh parsley or whatever while I'm cooking dinner, too.
It's a nice idea. I just wish I'd thought of it before we went to all of the trouble of clearing the existing garden beds.
Soccer practice is almost over. The girls worked pretty hard today; by the end of the session, they were scrimmaging energetically and looking pretty good. Passes were completed. Goals were scored. It should be a fun season.
But now it's time to head home and get started on those boring chores. Suddenly, watching girls' soccer practice sounds like a pretty decent way to spend an afternoon.

The increasing popularity of black hat SEO, as if SEO isn't boring enough as it is, is really annoying me, and killing the enthusiasm I might have once had for this kind of business. Black hat isn't really about building value, it's about cramming your crap down people's throats and calling it a "service", to put it bluntly.
Well, this article is a great defense of white hat and why we should stick with it: White Hat SEO: It F@$#ing Works.
This touches on a blog post I wrote on friday about advancing the web, as opposed to simply grinding for a fast buck while contributing to the factors which actually make the web worse, rather than better.

Swords into Plowshares is the blog of the Peacemaking Program and the Presbyterian Ministry at the United Nations of the Presbyterian Mission Agency of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
Seeking peace. Striving for justice. Together.

In a few weeks the entire peninsula of Korea will honor the memory of Liberation Day from Japanese Colonialism on August 15th, 1945. This will be a celebration full of mixed feelings as this day also marks the moment when two foreign powers, the Soviet Union and the United States made the decision without Korean authority to divide the peninsula into two zones. A line that generally follows the 38th Parallel became the line of division. Upon the Korean War, it also became an impassable wall separating families and independence partners who happened to be on the wrong ...
The Presbyterian Mission Agency will observe an Orange Dayon January 24 to witness and advocate for an end of violence against women and children.
I've had the privilege of visiting Presbyterian partners in South Sudan over the past week. Presbyterians have been engaged with South Sudan for a long time and the strength of our partnerships was certainly evident this week.
From meeting with ACROSS and learning about the work they do with Ethiopian refugees in South Sudan and their role as a primary health service provider for UNHCR in South Sudan to the Presbyterian schools across the country, it is clear that Presbyterians are hard at work in South Sudan.
I had the opportunity to meet with leaders of the Presbyterian Church ...
Our partners in South Sudan are holding a weekend of interfaith prayer services from July 5- 7, 2013. On July 8, 2013 they will hold a National Day of Prayer for Reconciliation.

May God lead the people of South Sudan to justice and peace.
Thanks to Brendan Welsh and Marissa Costello for their work on this prayer service.

Reconciliation demands justice.
Justice demands repentance.
Repentance demands restitution.
Restitution demands mercy.
From the reflection by Irma Rodriguez-Leon during the Ecumenical Women worship service led this morning by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and the Lutheran World Federation.
Forgiveness means liberation.
Forgiveness means restitution and repairing.
Forgiveness means reconciliation.
The Rev. Hubert Rakotoarivony, International Peacemaker from Madagascar, reflected on the importance of forgiveness as he spoke to a group of 18 people from 9 congregations.
Hubert, along with Dan Turk, PC(USA) mission co-worker in Madagascar, addressed the witness of the church in Madagascar.
Hubert spoke of the work toward peacemaking and reconciliation of the Church of Jesus Christ in Madagascar (FJKM). This begins with an awareness that peace is not just the absence of war or conflict. Peace is active. Peace involves social justice, equity, dignity, non-discrimination ...

We plan to create a new platform, process and social community to identify today's best online marketers and tomorrow's up and comers, and match them with recruiters and companies looking to hire online marketers, by using real-world online marketing challenges, other competitive and quantifiable elements, and leaderboards to measure and rank online marketers.
We will become the de facto standard worldwide for quantifiably assessing and verifying online marketing skills, and using this data to match prospective hires with hiring sources.
Complimenting the marketer ranking functionality will be functionality whereby a marketer ranks various marketing tools. But rather then being a simple 1-5 or 0%-100% satisfaction score, we will distinquish ourselves by using the Net Promoter Score approach and take it the scoring a 2nd step down to identify ratings of software features, company services and company capabilities, and correlate them to NPS.
We will cover the full spectrum of online marketing skills listed in the Problem section above and provide greater substance to hiring managers when looking to identify online marketing talent.
While individuals may use the site to "test their metal", gain insights into their skills and achieve a level of social feedback so they can claim they are the "baddest online marketer in town", and identify meaningful information about various marketing tools, the primary purpose of the site is: 1) to help users get a job or a better job and 2) help recruiters and companies find verifiable top flight online marketers.
We have considered MarketerRank.com but are looking for an alternative that is more inspirational.
.com is preferred. we can live with a .co We might consider an abbreviation such that is the name was marketerrules, we might live with mktrules.com as a domain name
Advertising and Marketing
College students studying or desiring to break into a marketing job (we call these up and comers)
Junior people in the profession (1-5 years)
More senior people who may may need to know some more about digital marketing than they think they need to know or who would like to come to the site primarily to rate marketing tools.
Recruiters of marketing people
This is the place to learn about the latest in marketing tools
This is the place to get an objective assessment of your marketing skills
This is the place to for recruiters of marketers to find great talent
We know of no one doing the comprehensive approach
Creative, rebellious, idealistic, fun
None at this time
We have a logo that will need to relate to the name of the site. So ideally names with the word marketing would fit best, and names with the word marketing and which also convey a positive uplifting theme (as noted by the arrow pointing up) are desired.

Too Much Chaos In My Mind & Life
I am burried in chaos right now.
Clutter - it's every where. In my head, my heart, my house!
How do I get rid of it all without tossing out what really matters?
That's my quest.
How did I get so cluttered in the first place?
Ugh!! Too many questions and I don't like the answers!
Me thinks my quest for answers to the secrets of the universe, the secrets of my heart, the secrets to my happiness perhaps led to the very clutter & chaos that now slowly sufficates me.
But I don't get it! Wait! What's the friggin' moral to the story???
Questions = Answers = Chaos = Clutter = Questions
At least in my world...

New Zealand Embassy Seoul, South Korea
Press release: New Zealand and Korea aim for school qualifications recognition
Officials from the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) will be visiting Seoul 7–10 May as part of a new project to improve the recognition and use of each other's senior secondary school qualifications.
Korean students make a valuable contribution to New Zealand's international student population, with around 10,000 Korean students studying in New Zealand every year. A third of these are enrolled at secondary schools.
Korean students who are considering studying in New Zealand secondary schools, and those returning to Korea having achieved the New Zealand National Certificates of Education Achievement (NCEA), will benefit from increasing understanding of the NCEA and the Korean National Assessment of Educational Achievement and College Scholastic Ability Test through the development of specific equivalency arrangements.
"The usefulness of qualifications between New Zealand and Korea will increase greatly because students will find it easier to use their international qualifications and have them recognised in their home countries," says Richard Thornton, Deputy Chief Executive, Qualifications, NZQA.
Ministry of Education, Korea Institute for Lifelong Learning, the Korea Research Institute for Vocational Education and Training (KRIVIT) and the National Institute for Lifelong Learning (NILE) will discuss with NZQA officials New Zealand's experience of establishing and maintaining a national qualifications framework and the portability of standards.
"NILE is also interested in recognising New Zealand education providers' registered and approved by NZQA – this will give even greater assurance to Korean students considering study in New Zealand," says Mr Thornton.
"NZQA is particularly interested in learning more about Korean National Competency Standards being developed by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry Labour which aim to bridge the education curriculum and national qualifications under one framework."
Mr Thornton adds that New Zealand and Korea have enjoyed close education links over the years and this work is helping to continue to strengthen those links.
The development of equivalency arrangements is an on-going project and will be a part of regular discussions between both countries.

Verran Tucker Knows The Value Of Preseason
Don't listen to the people that tell you that the NFL preseason is meaningless. In the world of non-stop evaluation, these games allow for players on the fringe of a team's roster to show what they can do.
There is no better example of this than second-year wide receiver Verran Tucker, who spoke with KCChiefs.com about making the most of these exhibitions.
"I try to tell some of these rookies that you're guaranteed to get yourself about two or three games, so put whatever you can on that film because it's not just for this team, it's for everyone."
Stuck behind veterans and fellow-undrafted free agents alike, Tucker grinded out seven catches for 45 yards over three preseason games last year. When the Chiefs put together their final roster, Tucker wasn't on it but he impressed the team enough to earn a spot on the practice squad.
When one of the receivers that beat Tucker out for a spot on the 53-man roster, Jeremy Horne, was slowed by an injury, he was the one that got the call up from the practice squad. Tucker had figured out what Todd Haley and the rest of the coaching staff was looking for and it paid off.
"The one thing that the coaches want is a player who is going to be consistent," Tucker said. "Not great one day and then just OK the next day."
Once Tucker joined the Chiefs he played in every game the rest of the way, including the first round playoff matchup with the Baltimore Ravens.
While the casual fans mock the empty seats at tonight's game and others call for the preseason to be shortened, there are a line of players a mile long that need these games to prove themselves.

Texas Rangers roundup: Nick Tepesch impressing early; Leonys Martin hurts hammy; Robbie Ross to the rotation?
Here's a roundup of all our coverage from Rangers spring training on Wednesday:
The big news of the day came early in the afternoon, when the Rangers started to put the finishing touches on a minor league deal for veteran RHP Derek Lowe.
Gerry Fraley writes that the Rangers have no plans to return Alexi Ogando to the bullpen… and maybe not Robbie Ross, either.
The Rangers beat the Cubs in a low-scoring affair, thanks in part to an impressive showing by Ross.
Josh Hamilton told CBSSports.com that Nolan Ryan wasn't happy with how the Rangers "dragged their feet" in negotiations with him this off-season.
Venezuela is going to have Elvis Andrus hit leadoff during the WBC. But will Elvis take over at the top of the lineup for the Rangers? Don't count on it.
Even while taking an afternoon off, AJ Pierzynski spent his time trying to get to know his new pitching staff.
Leonys Martin might miss a few games with a tweaked hamstring, which could be a small setback in his quest to become the Rangers' everyday CF.
RHP prospect Nick Tepesch, who wasn't expected to compete for a roster spot, has survived the first cut after an impressive start to spring.
Four pitchers who were sent out of camp weren't as lucky as Tepesch.

So niel caudle you get your shot , you have been a patient man setting on the sidelines watching and learning. It wasnt that long ago you were an elite eleveen quarterback but an injury in high school slowed you down . auburn still gave you the scholarship to come and play for a good program and you accepted. Dont look back at what could have been but look at what can be. the auburn nation is waiting for a good quarterback will you step up and give us that. we need a leader , someone who can actually throw the ball and make thier reads on the defense , can you be that guy the guy we want.
that is my message to neil we need him to do something because im not comfortable with kodi. I really dont think he can do it. some may disagree but none will disagree that no matter who it is someone needs to step up . cause if we get a quarterback we get a winning team and someone who could stop alabamas one game winning streak lets start us up another six gamer over the greatest coach of all time , well only if you are a bamer.
lets all stand up and show our support , lets make a trail to the spring game , to show them we care if they win or lose.

Game of inches
Cardinals fall just short at homecoming, 28-14
October 7, 2009
It seemed the Eudora Cardinals were always just inches short.
Trailing by six with under four minutes to play against Louisburg, on a crucial fourth-and-six from Eudora's 32-yard line, EHS quarterback Evan Cleveland followed blocks by left guard and tackle Alex Cox and Jonathan Morrison on a sweep. Cleveland, the Eudora bench and homecoming crowd cheered in anticipation of a first-down signal from the officials. But that call never came, and after a spot and measurement, Eudora was just inches short, and Louisburg took over on downs.
Louisburg running back Alex Gentges then broke through the Eudora defense for a 24-yard touchdown, and the Cardinals fell on homecoming, 28-14, Friday at Laws Field.
"Inches is correct," Eudora football coach Gregg Webb said. "They get a good spot, and we don't get such a good spot. The poor thing, the thing that bothers me most that's going to keep me up here is that we were just not very physical. I mean, they just lined it up and beat us up and that's kind of demoralizing. I mean nobody loves doing that more than I do, and we've been able to do that to other teams, like last week, and this week we got it done to us."
Just before halftime, the Cardinals also came up just inches short when Christian Richardson took a reverse to the right and threw a deep ball to receiver Brian Katzfey, who had a step on the defensive back. But the ball bounced just off his fingertips, and the Cardinals trailed, 14-7, at the break.
In the third quarter, Louisburg bumped its lead to 13 on a 12-play, 87-yard drive that culminated in a Ryan Roberts 11-yard touchdown run, before Cleveland pulled Eudora within a touchdown on an 11-yard run early in the fourth. Eudora had momentum and the defense held, forcing the Wildcats to punt with 7:01 to play.
But on the ensuing drive, the Cardinals were just inches short again as Cleveland threw a pass over the middle to tight end Hawley Montgomery, but the ball was just out of his reach and Eudora had to punt.
But thanks to a roughing the punter call on Louisburg, the Cardinals again had life. But two short runs, a false start penalty and Cleveland's fourth-down effort was ruled just short, and the Cardinals couldn't complete the comeback.
"I thought I had it," Cleveland said. "I thought I dove at least a yard past the marker but the ref got caught up. From what I saw he got ran into by another player and didn't really know where the spot was but came out and marked it. But that's the way it goes. People make mistakes, but I thought I had it."
Cleveland led Eudora with 64 yards rushing on 21 carries, while Gentges ran for 119 yards on 11 carries and scored three touchdowns for Louisburg. Eudora totaled just six first downs and 191 total yards.
Eudora seemed to be in control to start the game as Caleb Clayton-Molby and Alex Whitten recorded sacks to stop Louisburg's opening drive. The Cardinals then drove 63 yards, and Chris Pyle's 10-yard run up the gut put the home team in front 7-0.
But in the second quarter, Gentges gashed Eudora's defense, and scored touchdowns on runs of 24 and 44 yards.
"Every year they decide to just smash us in the mouth, and we can't tackle them," Webb said. "We sometimes have guys there, but you can just tell the wall moved. They have a good offensive line and their defensive line just beat our offensive line up. So when they say the game is won and lost on the line of scrimmage, that is no kidding because tonight that was exactly what happened."
Eudora (4-1) will play undefeated Gardner-Edgerton Friday at home.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) -- The year's third Kansas Honor Flight is headed to Washington, D.C., to give veterans a chance to visit memorials to their wars and others.
The flight was scheduled to leave Wichita on Wednesday carrying four World War II veterans and 23 Korean War vets, along with their guardians, to the nation's capital.
The trip is organized by Kansas Honor Flight Inc., whose mission is to transport veterans to Washington to visit the memorials at no cost to them. World War II veterans have priority, with Korea and Vietnam vets following in that order.
Among the memorials on the itinerary are the World War II Memorial, Korean Memorial, Vietnam Memorial Wall, Lincoln Memorial and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Republican IRS agent says Cincinnati began 'Tea Party' inquiries
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A Internal Revenue Service manager, who described himself as a conservative Republican, told congressional investigators that he and a local colleague decided to give conservative groups the extra scrutiny that has prompted weeks of political controversy.
In an official interview transcript released on Sunday by Democratic Representative Elijah Cummings, the manager said he and an underling set aside "Tea Party" and "patriot" groups that had applied for tax-exempt status because the organizations appeared to pose a new precedent that could affect future IRS filings.
IRS, under political fire, must help overhaul U.S. healthcare
WASHINGTON, June 7 (Reuters) – The U.S. Internal Revenue
Service, under political fire and distracted by leadership
changes, faces a big job and tight deadlines in months ahead as
one of the main federal agencies implementing President Barack
Obama's new healthcare law.
More than 40 tax code changes were part of 2010's Affordable
Care Act (ACA), the president's signature domestic policy
achievement. Some changes are already in place, but several take
effect in January 2014 and the IRS is still figuring them out.
Misfired 2010 email alerted IRS officials in Washington of targeting
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A misfired email from a U.S. Internal Revenue Service employee in Cincinnati alerted a number of Washington IRS officials that extra scrutiny was being place on conservative groups in July 2010, a year earlier than previously acknowledged, according to interviews with IRS workers by congressional investigators.
Transcripts of the interviews, reviewed by Reuters on Thursday, provided new details about Washington managers' awareness of the heightened scrutiny applied by front-line IRS agents in Cincinnati to applications for tax-exempt status from conservative groups with words like "Tea Party" in their names.
IRS official in Star Trek spoof apologizes for lavish conference
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A top official at the U.S. Internal Revenue Service on Thursday acknowledged that it was "embarrassing" how much the tax agency spent on training videos, including a Star Trek spoof, and other lavish expenses during a 2010 conference in California.
Faris Fink, commissioner of the agency's small business and self-employed division, told lawmakers the videos, which cost more than $50,000 to produce, were well-intentioned but in hindsight inappropriate.
IRS suspends two employees for taking conference gifts
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has suspended two employees – including one working on President Barack Obama's healthcare initiative – for improperly accepting gifts at an agency conference, two congressional staff members briefed on the matter told Reuters on Wednesday.
The tax-collecting agency – already battling a political scandal and accusations of lavish spending – has begun a process to remove the two employees for violating ethics rules pending a review, the IRS said.
IRS puts two employees on leave for taking conference gifts
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Internal Revenue Service, already battling political scandal and accusations of lavish spending, has put two employees on administrative leave for accepting gifts of food and other items at an agency conference, according to two congressional staff members briefed on the matter.
Acting IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel said in a statement: "There was clearly inappropriate behavior involved in this situation, and immediate action is needed."
Watchdog faults IRS over Star Trek video, conference
By Kim Dixon and Kevin Drawbaugh
(Reuters) – A spoof Star Trek video and lavish hotel suites for government workers were singled out on Tuesday by a government watchdog in criticizing the U.S. Internal Revenue Service's conference planning and budgeting from 2010 through 2012.
In a report that the IRS has already acknowledged as pointing out "inappropriate" spending, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) faulted the agency specifically for a 2010 conference in Anaheim, California, that cost $4.1 million.
Tea Party groups emotionally describe harassment by IRS
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Tea Party and other conservative groups delivered an emotional plea for Washington to rein in government overreach on Tuesday as they told lawmakers about how the Internal Revenue Service targeted them with relentless paperwork and intrusive questions when they sought tax-exempt status.
The House Ways and Means Committee invited a collection of groups to speak about their experiences as details continue to emerge about how and why IRS officials in a Cincinnati, Ohio, field office began targeting conservative groups for extra scrutiny.
Congressman Issa reprising familiar role in IRS probe
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – What began as a bipartisan congressional probe into Internal Revenue Service practices is quickly turning into a verbal brawl with U.S. Representative Darrell Issa, no stranger to controversy, under attack from Democrats and even some of his fellow Republicans.
Issa, the California congressman who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, on Sunday said in a CNN interview that the IRS's scrutiny of conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status was "directly being ordered from Washington."

Has anyone gone from sixty lakes basin to gardiner basin? If so can you discribe your route? The more detail the better. Also looking for some photo's.Thanks
You could also ask at the High Sierra Topix board (they also have very informative members).
Are you planning on going over 60 Lakes Col. From what I have heard it is pretty straightforward. How far are you going into Gardiner Basin??. You can do a loop, exiting at Gardiner Pass and back east to Charlotte Lake
Sorry, I have no photos and no map on hand, but I do remember my trip into Gardiner from 60 Lakes from a trip about 10 years ago.Navigationally, it was *very* easy. It was easy to find the correct 60 Lakes Basin lake on the use trail, and then the col to Gardiner, situated right behind and to the west of that lake.Technically, it was Class 2-3 with some sections that might be tricky for someone with a big pack. If you have a light pack you'll be just fine. I recall it was easy to pick out the route just by eyeballing from the lake; no need for special instructions.- Elizabeth
I am thinking of spending a day in the Sixty Lakes Basin, the following day head over the King Spur at the southern most lake in Sixty Lakes Basin. Spend a day exploring Gardiner Basin working North West along the basin.From here is where I'm looking for advice. I want to hike north to Woods Creek. There are two drainages just north of Gardiner Basin, if feasible I would like to get over the ridge just west of Mt. Clarence King, and then follow the river out to Castle Domes Meadow. Is anyone familiar with this area?
Did a loop through Gardiner Basin in 2008. We approached from the west and south via Gardiner Pass and exited the basin via 60 Lakes Col. A description of that trip is at: http://sites.google.com/site/bryanlallen/gardinerbasin2008All photos from that trip are at: http://bryanlallen.smugmug.com/Nature/Gardiner-Basin-2008/5831781_DA5hh#361671803_gdgY8 Hopefully some will be helpful.I have no direct experience with hiking north out of Gardiner Basin, but the R.J. Secor book "The High Sierra: Peaks, Passes, and Trails" is a very valuable resource; I recommend getting a copy. On P. 153 of my copy (later editions are probably a bit different) he describes "King Col", a class 2 route 1.0 mile west of Mt. Clarence King that traverses the divide on the north side of Gardiner Basin. He points out that the col has also been referred to as Moulthrop Pass. The major difficulty described is at the north end of the route crossing Woods Creek.Happy mountaineering!
Joel good luck crossing the river to get to Castle Dome's. It has been done, but it is quite tricky. I have not done that one myself, but I have heard that it is pretty difficult

Last Stand: Baltimore Ravens Smash New England Patriots Mystique For Final Time
Meet the new loss. Same as the old loss.
That's the story of the 2012 postseason for the New England Patriots.
Jim Harbaugh and the San Francisco 49ers walked into Atlanta and beat the Falcons 28-24 Sunday afternoon in the NFC title game. Minutes later John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens walked into New England and embarrassed the Patriots 28-13 Sunday night in the AFC title game.
The Brothers Harbaughmazov will face each other on opposite sidelines in the Super Bowl, a familial first in NFL history.
You may hear this story a few times in the next two weeks: It's the Harbaughs' world. You're just living in it.
But before two weeks of H2hype, it's time to put the New England mystique out of its misery, most likely for the final time.
John Harbaugh and the Ravens did more than just beat the Patriots in the night cap.
They exposed for the final time a failed strategy in New England that has yielded plenty of great stats, records and regular-season results but that ultimately failed in the end, each loss a mirror image of the other.
The Patriots must now come to grips with a legacy of What Might Have Been for a dynastic team that has consistently dominated in the regular season but consistently come up small when it mattered most late in the season.
Since 2007 New England has fielded four of the 12 greatest offenses in the history of football, and failed each time at the end – and failed each time at the end largely because of offenses that simply did not look the same or up to the task when it counted most.
The Patriots led the NFL by a wide margin with 557 points scored in 2012, an average of 34.8 PPG. They scored just 13 against the Ravens – a fairly ordinary Ravens defense – while making a series of uncharacteristic plays and decisions:
- Tom Brady mismanaged the clock at the end of the first half, costing the team a shot at a touchdown
- Wes Welker dropped an easy first down in the second half, costing the team a drive
- The game plan abandoned the run-pass balance that had served the team so well, the Patriots eschewing the run even when they appeared to control the game in the first half. Brady passed the ball more than twice has many times (54) as he handed it off (26).
- New England blew a season's worth of scoring opportunities, six times putting the ball inside the Baltimore 25
- Brady looked old inaccurate and inefficient at the end, averaging just 5.9 YPA and completing just 53.7 percent of his passes.
This game had its own historic signature, too, much like other losses by seemingly dominant New England teams: the Patriots were 67-0 at home in the Brady Era when leading at halftime. Now they're 67-1.
Football is not so simple as "defense wins championships." In reality, balance wins championships. And that's something that the Patriots have not had in years.
The champions of 2001, 2003 and 2004 were routinely criticized for playing a boring brand of football. But those clubs, solid on all sides of the ball, and certainly much better defensively than the recent vintage Patriots, rode that boring brand of football all the way to three Super Bowl titles.
The recent vintage Patriots, the teams that wowed everyone with their offensive fireworks in the regular season, have simply petered out in the playoffs.
- The 2007 Patriots scored 36.8 PPG, most in modern NFL history, and went 16-0. They scored 14 in a Super Bowl loss to the Giants.
- The 2010 Patriots scored 32.4 PPG, No. 10 in modern history. They scored 21 in a divisional-round loss to the Jets.
- The 2011 Patriots scored 32.1 PPG, No. 12 in modern history. They scored 17 in a Super Bowl loss to the Giants.
- The 2012 Patriots scored 34.8 PPG, No. 3 in modern history. They scored 13 in an AFC title game loss to the Ravens.
Put another way: the 2007, 2010, 2011 and 2012 Patriots averaged 34.0 PPG over the course of four brilliant regular seasons. They scored 16.3, less than half, in their playoff losses.
The reality is that the Patriots made a strategic decision around the end of the 2006 season to become a team that was built around its quarterback and that sacrificed so many of the little things the team did well in its Super Bowl-winning years. Namely, play pass defense.
The strategy has given the New England offense and Brady a mountain of mind-blowing offensive statistics, some of which are sure to stand the test of time. But that's all it's given the Patriots.
Brady, meanwhile, has simply disappeared in these games, his combined performance in those four losses:
- 114 of 188, 60.6%, 1,161 yards, 6.2 YPA, 6 TD, 4 INT, 80.1 rating
By any measure, the performances in those losses are far below his regular-season standards. And those losses are only after the historic seasons of 2007, 2010, 2011 and 2012. They don't include New England's 33-14 loss to the Ravens in the 2009 postseason.
Brady was also clearly outclassed by Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco (21 of 36, 240, 3 TD 0 INT), who looked younger, stronger, faster, more accurate and more Super Bowl-ready and the Patriots passer. Flacco has consistently stepped up his game in the posteason, making deep runs each year, and has played the most impressive ball of his career here in the 2012 postseason.
The New England organization has crossed some incredible milestones. It's been one of the most amazing runs in the history of football. But instead of talking about an untouchable dynasty, one that had a legit shot to win six or seven Super Bowls over the past decade plus, we're talking about a strategic decision that has produced plenty of gaudy stats – and zero championships.
In two weeks, the Harbaugh family alone will have won more Super Bowls than New England and all its gaudy stats have produced over the past eight seasons.
Get used to hearing about it. It's the Harbaugh's world ... while New England's time has come and gone.

|Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase I and Sudden Unexpected Infant Death in British Columbia First Nations.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23090344 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|OBJECTIVE:Infant mortality in British Columbia (BC) First Nations remains elevated relative to other residents. The p.P479L (c.1436C>T) variant of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1A) is frequent in some aboriginal populations and may be associated with increased infant deaths. This work was initiated to determine the performance of acylcarnitine profiling for detecting this variant, to determine its frequency in BC, and to determine if it is associated with sudden infant deaths in this population.METHODS:Newborn screening cards from all BC First Nations infants in 2004 and all sudden unexpected deaths in BC First Nations infants (1999-2009) were genotyped for the CPT1A p.P479L variant and linked to archival acylcarnitine data.RESULTS:The CPT1A p.P479L variant is frequent in BC First Nations but is not evenly distributed, with higher rates in coastal regions (up to 25% homozygosity) with historically increased infant mortality. There is also an overrepresentation of p.P479L homozygotes in unexpected infant deaths from these regions, with an odds ratio of 3.92 (95% confidence interval: 1.69-9.00). Acylcarnitine profiling will identify p.P479L homozygotes with a 94% sensitivity and specificity.CONCLUSIONS:The CPT1A p.P479L variant is common to some coastal BC First Nations, and homozygosity for this variant is associated with unexpected death in infancy. The high frequency of this variant in a wide range of coastal aboriginal communities, however, suggests a selective advantage, raising the possibility that this variant may have differing impacts on health depending on the environmental or developmental context.

Can Tech Ruin the Kim Pham Murder Trial?
By Charles Lam
Recent headlines in both local dailies screamed that while gang crime in Orange County is falling, gang membership is swelling. On July 3, the Times Orange County ran a story headlined "Gang Membership Up, Crime Down." The Orange County Register led its new Local News section with the story "OC Gang Membership on Rise"; in diminutive type, the Reg acknowledged that "gang felonies, including homicides, declined."
The basis for those articles was the district attorney's annual gang-unit report. According to the 28-page document, gangs recruited more than 1,200 new members in 1998.
In fact, gang membership probably fell. Buried deep in the DA's report is a fact overlooked by the Times and Register: because of a software glitch, county computers failed to catch and purge the names of non-gangsters throughout 1998 in the CalGang database.
The number of entries in the county's official gang database has been declining since 1997, following complaints from civil-rights advocates and criminologists that innocents were being counted as gangsters. The district attorney's office responded by purging from its database the names of people with no recorded gang activity for at least five years. By the end of 1997, a DA spokesperson could announce proudly that his office had deleted some 6,657 entries, bringing total gang membership in the county from 24,000 to "almost 19,000."
According to the new report, "programming" problems prevented further purging in 1998. But the same bug didn't stop county officials from adding the names of 1,296 new suspected gang members to CalGang. That snafu became a criminological nightmare in the pages of the Times and Register.
Not to worry, DA Tony Rackauckas says in the report. "This flaw has been corrected, and, as of this writing, purging is about to resume," he said.
The truth is no one really knows how many gang members there are, since the criteria for eligibility in CalGang, a gee-whiz computer system with 150 fields, is fuzzy at best. Gang "affiliates," wannabes and taggers are routinely lumped together with actual gang members, according to civil-rights watchdogs.
Critics of the database also point out that since gang membership isn't a crime (although it could lead to enhanced penalties if you are convicted of one), the database is full of individuals who have never committed a crime.
The latest report repeats previous claims that the county enters only the names of people who identify themselves as gang members, with "approximately 90 percent of the current listings [including] persons who had admitted membership in a gang or tagger crew." But critics of gang databases—like the ACLU's John Crew, who heads the northern California ACLU's Police Practices Project—argue that youths stopped in so-called field detentions by police are more likely than not to claim gang ties, especially when failing to do so could lead to retribution from their peers. Some Asian youths I've interviewed tell me they get so tired of being constantly harassed by police that they will claim gang affiliations even if they don't have any.
In a landmark out-of-court settlement with the ACLU that illustrates the implications of such a tactic, the Garden Grove police in 1996 agreed that its gang-unit officers would stop asking field detainees about their gang ties if they say they are not gang members.
Some two years ago, the California Advisory Committee to the U.S. Civil Rights Commission devoted its entire daylong session in Costa Mesa to the issue of mislabeling county youths as gang members. It heard from a host of community activists as well as law-enforcement officials. The committee has yet to issue its report, but Phil Montez, who heads the commission's Los Angeles regional office, hinted to the Weekly that the report, which he is still writing, will trounce local law-enforcement authorities for unfairly targeting ethnic minorities as gang members.
