The Effect of Tax Treaties
The rules given to determine if you are a U.S. resident do not override tax treaty definitions of residency.
If your residency is determined under a treaty and not under the rules discussed here, you must file a fully completed Form 8833, Treaty-Based Return Position Disclosure Under Section 6114 or 7701(b) (PDF) if the payments or income items reportable because of that determination are more than $100,000.
If you are a dual resident taxpayer, you can still claim the benefits under an income tax treaty. A dual resident taxpayer is one who is a resident of both the United States and another country under each country's tax laws. The income tax treaty between the two countries must contain a provision that provides for resolution of conflicting claims of residence.
If you are treated as a resident of a foreign country under a tax treaty, you are treated as a nonresident alien in figuring your U.S. income tax. For purposes other than figuring your tax, you will be treated as a U.S. resident. For example, the rules discussed here do not affect your residency time periods.
If you are a dual resident taxpayer and you claim treaty benefits, you must timely file a return (including extensions) using Form 1040NR, U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return (PDF) or Form 1040NR-EZ, U.S. Income Tax Return for Certain Nonresident Aliens With No Dependents (PDF), and compute your tax as a nonresident alien. You must also attach a fully completed Form 8833, Treaty-Based Return Position Disclosure Under Section 6114 or 7701(b) (PDF).

Hint: Terry has titled the image, "Gaga's Golden Butt."
Although we didn't agree with everything comedian Kevin Hart said during his stand-up bits at Sunday's VMAs, he did drop one undeniable truthbomb: "Lady Gaga has those yams." Like, we don't know what kind of ass-tastic jazzercise regimen Gaga was following to prep for her VMA-opening "Applause" performance (though it probably involved nudity and crystals), but can we sign up?
While we thought we'd seen, like, literally 97.4 percent of Lady Gaga's Botticelli's "Birth Of Venus" bod onstage, photographer Terry Richardson (whom you might remember shot Miley Cyrus' recent twerked-out photoshoot) captured an additional 1.3 percent, which he's shared on his Tumblr.
Check out Lady Gaga's NSFW Terry Richardson shot, and watch her VMA performance after the jump.
WARNING: The pic involves a whole lotta gold leaf-covered #AZZEVERYWHERE. Enjoy!

Carrier, L. M., & Rosen, L. An Electronic Portfolio Project with Graduating Psychology Majors. Page 3 of 5.
In order to finish the portfolios, students had to spend a considerable amount of time outside of the classroom and at computer workstations. Thus, there was a large amount of time spent working on the project without instructor supervision. The students later commented upon this: On an end-of-term questionnaire, the most frequently mentioned way to improve the course was to make the laboratory time outside of class "official," perhaps by adding laboratory units to the course. The authors would suggest instead that more time be spent in class on the e-portfolio project (as well as in the computer laboratory) and less time on the content portion of the course (without sacrificing the quality of instruction, of course!). Relying heavily on the general-purpose computer laboratories caused another problem at the end of the semester. The students often had to wait in line (for up to an hour!) to gain access to workstations as crowds of students from around campus were finishing various final projects for their courses. The authors therefore recommend having as many computers as possible dedicated solely to the e-portfolio project in a local (department-level) computer laboratory.
The process of e-portfolio creation can reap valuable rewards for students (Wiedmer, 1998). In our case, for example, some of the students had not fully thought out their career or academic plans, but the personal statements and narratives in the portfolios required students to formulate both short- and long-term career and academic goals. In addition, at the beginning of the semester, a fair number of the students were concerned that they had no skills or knowledge relevant to their chosen goals. However, after detailed in-class discussion, one-on-one consultation, and some soul-searching, most of these students realized that they were more prepared than they had originally thought. With regard to their coursework, they learned that in many of their courses in psychology they had gained experience relevant to their goals. For example, the knowledge gained from the Introduction to Cognitive Psychology and the Real-World Memory portions of the course was shown to be relevant to students interested in teaching careers.
The semester ended with a showcase of student-created e-portfolios. All members of the campus community were invited to attend, and food and drinks were served. The showcase highlighted the five e-portfolios judged to best represent the spirit and purpose of the e-portfolio component of the course
(Figures 1,
2, and 3)
Interestingly, the selected e-portfolios did not necessarily come from students with the highest GPAs, but rather from students who put the most effort into the project. In addition, all students who completed e-portfolios (all but two students in the course)
were presented with certificates noting their accomplishments. Colleagues from the Department of Psychology and from other campus departments, administrators, staff, and students were invited to surf the showcased web sites on computers positioned around the meeting room. Color printouts of the other e-portfolios were displayed on the walls of the room for the guests to peruse.

(Applicable to Superior Court and jury sessions in District Court)
(a) General. A case in which the defendant has the right to be tried by a jury shall so be tried unless the defendant waives a jury trial in writing with the approval of the court and files the waiver with the clerk, in which instance he shall be tried by the court instead of by a jury. If there is more than one defendant, all must waive the right to trial by jury, and if they do not so waive, there must be a jury trial unless the court in its discretion severs the cases. The court may refuse to approve such a waiver for any good and sufficient reason provided that such refusal is given in open court and on the record.
(b) Less Than a Full Jury. If after jeopardy attaches there is at any time during the progress of a trial less than a full jury remaining, a defendant may waive his right to be tried by a full jury and request trial by the remaining jurors by signing a written waiver which shall be filed with the court. If there is more than one defendant, all must sign and file a waiver unless the court in its discretion severs the cases.

Trend Alert: Sheer White Nail Polish
History is repeating itself once again with the return of the pale white nail. But this time around instead of being ultra opaque or iridescent, the colors are less intense and more sheer. Just the other night at the Sleepwalking movie screening, I noticed the feminine fingertips of Charlize Theron, Tinsley Mortimer and Beth Ostrosky. Here are two sheer white nail shades I think you'll really get into for spring.
White Satin by Chanel ($19) is a limited-edition shade of glossy white. The first coat is very sheer, but you can layer it to create a more potent polish. And if you're into french manicures, one coat looks beautiful over the white tips.
Barielle Nail Shades in Sensitive ($8) is sheer shell white color that has a high shine finish and claims to be salon-strength. Also, it's tolulene free — awesome.
In addition, Zoya also has a new white shade out for spring called Purity, but from what I understand it's heavier and more opaque than it is sheer.

October 30th is National Candy Corn Day and Candy Corn is not just for Halloween anymore. Candy-makers now produce Reindeer Corn for Christmas, Cupid Corn for Valentine's Day and on Easter - plastic eggs full of Bunny Corn. As popular as this candy is (more than 35 million pounds of candy corn will be produced this year), it barely makes the top ten traditional Halloween candy favorites.
Kids tell us that their favorite treats to receive when trick-or-treating are candy and gum. Eighty-four percent of kids said candy and gum are their favorites.
The Top Ten Traditional Halloween Candy includes:
In recent years, retro candy has been gaining in popularity among candy connoisseurs. CandyCrate.com specializes in hard-to-find retro candy and has come out with a list of the Top Ten candies their customers order for Halloween. The favorites include a mix of candy classics and contemporary candy:
According to Candy Crate's Operation Manager, Randi Caporale, mellowcremes (candy corn and pumpkins) remain very popular but are usually purchased in bulk to fill candy dishes.
The National Confectioners Association states that the parents' favorite treats to sneak from their children's trick-or-treat sacks are snack-size chocolate bars (70 percent sneak these), candy-coated chocolate pieces (40 percent), caramels (37 percent) and gum (26 percent).
Hosting a Halloween party this year? Halloween candy is a terrific craft medium for kids of all age groups.

PHOENIX -- They're making the prospects younger than ever.
Consider this: Had the Angels not promoted Mike Trout, 19, on Friday, the U.S. team in the Futures game here Sunday probably would have had one, two and three hitters aged 19 (Trout), 19 (Baltimore shortstop prospect Manny Machado) and 18 (Bryce Harper, the top overall pick in the 2010 draft by Washington).
As it was, with Trout a late scratch because of his sudden promotion from Double-A Arkansas, Machado batted second and Harper third.
Of anybody in the game, of course, Harper was the focal point. The No. 1 overall pick, a five-tool phenom, a controversial brat, the game's next great player ... Harper is many things to many people.
"I try and go out and play the game, I try to have fun," Harper said. "If it's not fun, you shouldn't be out there."
Some would say blowing a kiss at a pitcher after drilling a home run, as he did earlier this summer while playing for Class A Hagerstown, might be having a bit too much fun.
Machado, his friend since the two played together on an 18-and-under U.S. team in Venezuela two winters ago, says that's "the only thing I give him [grief] about, for blowing that kiss. It was pretty awesome."
Awesome, funny, whatever from a young player's perspective.
But Machado said he sure would never do something like that himself.
"This game is rough, and I play shortstop," Machado said. "Somebody would take me out."
On a serious note regarding Harper, Machado said, "He's a great player. He's got the tools. He was obviously producing at Hagerstown. To me, he has the tools to be up there [in the majors] right now. It depends on how he does ... he could easily be up there this year."
Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo pretty much has put the kibosh on the idea that Harper could land in the bigs yet this summer. And 2012 is not guaranteed, though odds would suggest that if Harper continues to produce, it's certainly not out of the question.
The Nationals promoted Harper to Double-A Harrisburg on the Fourth of July after he hit .318 with a .423 on-base percentage, 14 homers, 46 RBIs and 19 steals in 72 games. Even though the Angels called up Trout on Friday, Harper said he isn't drawing a direct line from Trout and the Angels to his own situation.
As for whether he thinks his success may accelerate his own timetable, Harper shrugged.
"I have no clue," he said. "I'll let 'em make that decision. Mike Rizzo has done a great job with everything. I'm going to play this year like I know how to play and let them make the decision."
Machado said he and Harper still talk an average of once a week since their time together in Venezuela, when they were kids far from home talking about stuff teenagers talk about.
"Girlfriends back home, what was going on when we were in Venezuela when we were in the middle of nowhere," Machado said.
While Machado was happy to be reunited with Harper for a day, he was disappointed not to see Trout -- but very happy for Trout.
"I was excited for him -- when the GM calls, that's the best call you could ever get in your life," Machado said.
Considered the best shortstop prospect in the minor leagues, Machado, like Harper, should have one of those phone calls in his near future as well.
Likes: Fun seeing all of the baseball people gathered in one location. Very impressed with the way Orioles prospect Manny Machado carries himself. ... Hall of Famer Pat Gillick, the former general manager and current special assistant to Phillies GM Ruben Amaro, intently watching batting practice and infield at the Futures Game. Even into his 70s, his mind is still incredible. Looking forward to seeing him inducted into the Hall along with Bert Blyleven and Roberto Alomar in a couple of weeks. ... Very cool lightening storm Sunday night in the desert. No rain, but the sky was lit up for a couple of hours. ... The sour cream enchiladas and frozen strawberry margaritas at Los Olivos Mexican restaurant in Scottsdale. ... The Tee Pee Mexican joint in Phoenix, though we haven't been there yet.
Dislikes: Man, so many scratches from the All-Star Game. Sunday's Celebrity Softball Game was "celebrity" in name only -- it was a bunch of B-listers -- but that star power still might wind up being higher than Tuesday's game. ... OK, you wonder, who was in the Celebrity Softball Game? Among others, Chord Overstreet (Glee), James Denton (Desperate Housewives), Jennie Finch (former Arizona State softball pitcher and a gold-medal winner at the 2004 Olympics), Erin Andrews (ESPN), Kate Upton (Sports Illustrated swimsuit model), Nick Jonas (of the Jonas Brothers) and Larry Fitzgerald (receiver for the Arizona Cardinals).
Rock 'N' Roll Lyric of the Day:
"I rounded first, never thought of the worst
"As I studied the shortstop's position
"Crack went my leg, like the shell of an egg
"Someone call a decent physician
"I'm no Pete Rose, I can't pretend
"Though my mind is quite flexible, these brittle bones don't bend"
-- Jimmy Buffett, Growing Older (But Not Up)

UFOs RossShire Scotland 2009 Scottish SUN News
- Uploaded by Ufohunter82 on Dec 24, 2009
- Views: 2276
Witness Report.
The bizarre sightings began at 11pm on Saturday and the spectacular show in the sky above Muir of Ord, Ross-shire ended at 1am.
Residents watched in awe as three bright orange dome-shaped objects hovered then flew at high speed in random spirals closer and closer to the village.
Last night leading expert Nick Pope said: "This could be one of the most significant UFO events in recent history.
"Sightings like this are hugely significant because they are very rare.
"Most UFOs are seen by single witnesses so it's very difficult to get any proof. For whole streets of people to see something is almost without precedent and this sounds like one of the most significant UFO events in recent history.
"It's also very unusual for a UFO to be seen for such a long time. Most are very brief.
Care worker Sandra Robertson, 45, said: "It was weird and scary. But at the same time if they came back I'd like to watch them again.
"The whole street was out with cameras and binoculars.
"Folk were coming out the pub and telephoning home about what they were seeing in the sky.
"It's been the talk of the place ever since it happened.
"It's the sort of thing we'll remember all our lives. It's so difficult to describe because it was like nothing anyone had ever seen before.
"The objects were sort of dome shaped and bright, bright orange.
"They were hovering for up to five minutes at a time then they would move really, really fast across the sky.
"At first they seemed very far away but they got closer and closer.
Her husband, Henry, 47, who along with daughter Jolene, 23, filmed the UFOs, said: "You'd have had to see it to believe it.
"I'm 47 and I've seen a lot of things and come through a lot but this was scary.
"It was no Loch Ness monster-type sighting. People all over the village are talking about it.
"There must be some explanation and I'd love to hear what it is.
An RAF spokesman at Lossiemouth said there had been no reports that required a response on Saturday night.
He added: "Usually there are innocent explanations for these things."

As many parents know, even the youngest students are feeling overwhelmed by busy schedules and the increased workload that comes with tougher educational standards sweeping the country - and the accompanying stress that often comes along for the ride.
A West Virginia first-grader took to pencil and paper and wrote Sen. Joe Manchin to share her experience.
"All we do is work work work. I need a break. Can you please help?" 6-year-old Sophie Mullins wrote on lined paper.
The West Virginia Democrat picked up the phone and gave Sophie a ring Wednesday at Gauley River Elementary School in Craigsville, W.Va. His office posted a video of the call on YouTube.
"You're working all the time, aren't you?" Manchin says. "So what I'm doing is, see, I'm giving you a break right now. I wanted you to take a little bit of time off since you work so hard."
"I do," Sophie says, adding that she does math, reading and writing.
"If you work hard, it's going to pay off," Manchin tells her, and urges her to "keep working hard on your studies so you get smarter so you can help us."
Sophie stepped out from class on Thursday and told TODAY Moms that she wrote the letter at home because her math homework "was kind of too hard." And sometimes, she said, she feels sleepy while doing schoolwork.
The letter to Manchin grew out of a running family joke, said her mom, Sarah Mullins.
Sophie, an only child, missed her parents and was nervous when she first started elementary school, Mullins said. She noticed there was no more nap time in kindergarten and that first grade is harder.
"'It's hard? Oh well, you should write your congressman," Mullins said, describing a typical conversation with her daughter. "Any time she'd complain about anything, 'Well, guess you should write him.' We just kept saying that and it grew and grew."
The note, Mullins said, seemed to be her daughter saying, "Oh gosh, everything's hard."
"She missed spending as much time at home as she used to with us and sometimes when you start something new it seems hard," Mullins said. "So a lot of it was the newness of everything and this is harder than kindergarten."
Manchin's call made Sophie feel happy. "That's the first time I got a call from my senator," Sophie said. She likes school and said she knows it's important to learn "so you can go to the next grade and so you won't be behind."
Sophie's principal, Christina Bailey, says the first-grader is a good student and hard worker, who might be feeling some growing pains.
"First grade is a huge transition from kindergarten, so the work is a little bit tougher and more difficult," Bailey said. "There are high expectations for students across the nation."
And Bailey agrees with Sophie's message. "First grade is hard and kids do need a break."
Educational psychologist Michele Borba said most kids feel like Sophie does.
"She probably could have put most every kid's name in the United States of America on that note," she said. "Most kids are feeling the push, the crunch, the pressure and the stress."
Students are feeling it younger these days, Borba says, because the work they are doing today is what kids two to three grades ahead USED to be doing.
"Sandbox, blocks and dress-up are no more," she said. "It's much harder. We've crunched all the work and curriculum down."
To help give kids some relief, especially when they feel worn down from doing homework for long periods, Borba recommends breaking the work up into chunks. Kids can complete the easier work in the car in the afternoon if they have to so by the time they sit down for the harder stuff, there's less to do.
Parents also can help their children build breaks into their workload by setting a timer.
"When the timer goes off, let's get a glass of water or run as fast as we can," Borba urges parents to tell their stressed-out kids. "You'll jump-start your kid's brain and he'll be able to work longer. They need the physical."
But, parents (especially those finding themselves unable to solve grade school math problems) take note: The stress doesn't always come from tougher spelling words or meatier texts. Kids are feeding off their parents' stress, Borba says.
"Very often it's not the work, it's the stress from us," Borba says. "So take a breath yourself, Mom. Our kids are telling us it's not just the homework, it's the look on our faces."

From Mexico: The Four Universal Laws of Sales Management
July 3, 2012 at 7:00 AM
Over 65% of all companies follow a calendar year for their fiscal year. For many of you in Sales Management, Q2 just ended. How did you do? Did your team make the first half number?
Unfortunately, we find that only 52% of Sales Manager make their quota. Many of them ask us how we can achieve more revenue. They ask what can they do to achieve their goals. "How can I make the number?"
Simple. Stick to the Fundamentals. Don't believe me? What are they?
Last week on was on vacation with my family in Mexico. We went for a week to the town of Cabo San Lucas. Of those that have been there, they know it's a beautiful place. We were fortunate enough to stay near a hotel by the beach. So, one day I grabbed a good book called "Speak Like a CEO: Secrets for Commanding Attention and Getting Results" by Suzanne Bates, sat down on a beach chair and started reading. Five minutes into my read, a beach vendor interrupted me and asked if I was interested in buying a Mexican homemade blanket. I politely declined when another asked if I wanted to buy a sliver bracelet; then another if I wanted a hat; another if I wanted to take a Wave runner out for a ride; another if I wanted a hand carved pelican and on and on and on. I continued to decline their offers but started to notice a few key things these 'sales reps' were doing.
Every 60 minutes some would disappear. After a couple of these 'disappearances', I was curious to find where they were going. They would 'huddle' with some kind of leader. After 5 minutes of the meeting, out they would go again to sell their items. A couple of observations watching this all over the beach, it hit me. This 'leader' was their sales manager. I walked up to him and begin to ask him some questions. Sure enough at every meeting he would:
- Check their sales
- Ask who on the beach was buying
- Organize the different products that were offered to hit everyone on the beach
- Motivate them by offering hourly incentives
- Coach them on their selling process
He was their Sales Manager.
He was practicing the fundamentals of Sales Management.
And making money doing it every day. I noticed these Universal Laws happen globally; in every business, every transaction, every 'sales team.'
The Four Universal Laws of Sales Management
- Get 'A' Player Talent: Nothing takes the place of talent. We believe sales effectiveness is 50% talent and 50% of the performance conditions you place that talent in. It's called Top grading. It never ends. You must be relentless at building a virtual bench. Relentless at proper interviewing. Relentless at developing your people. It is the must of any sales manager: hire rainmakers. You are as good as your weakest person.
- I asked the Sales Manager (Hector) on the beach what does he look for in a beach vendor. "They must be agresivo, persistente e necesitan dinero (aggressive, persistent and need money). I need to hire the best vendors because I get a 10% commission on everything they sell". Sound familiar?
- The 'Sales Manager' on the beach walked around to all his sales people consistently coaching them. In fact, I followed him and watched from a distance. Helping the 'vendor' walk up to prospects, negotiate deals and spend time with people who could buy. At every moment, he was helping his people be more successful.
- I asked Hector how does he approach every day and week. "Mi amigo, every day is the same. We meet in the morning, every hour for 5 minutes and then wrap up at the end of the day. This is the only way we can sell more every week and month. You can't move forward if you don't know where you have been." Simple and effective I thought. This guy really knows what he is doing.
- "Hector", I asked, "Why do you focus your people just on this stretch of the beach and not down there?" as I pointed in the distance. "Daniel, that's a local beach. The money is here near the hotels. You have to go where the cash is." Do your sales people do this?

It's not an easy thing to do, particularly when your emotions are still sky high following a tough loss and the brain is flooded with thoughts that need to be conveyed intelligently and with some measure of grace.
Their eyes were bloodshot and, at times, their chins slowly dropped to their chests. But they would all prove their character and professionalism in the wake of what had to be one of the most disappointing finishes of their hockey careers.
Unlike the previous two seasons, this year would be different. Instead of an excruciating loss in the gold medal game, Team Canada was knocked out in the tournament semifinal round.
It marks the first time since 2001 that the country will not be playing in the big game.
"We kind of dug ourselves into a hole and we can't do that. We learned the hard way. It's unfortunate we had to learn in that fashion. It's hockey and it happens. It's a life lesson for all of us."
-- Canada goalie Mark Visentin
Lessons learned seemed to be the appropriate phrase during the post-game talks with the players.
"I can't tell you how much experience I gained in that third period; what I needed to do to be successful," Canadian defenseman Dougie Hamilton said. "It was probably the greatest period of hockey I've ever been a part of. It's tough to lose, but I will take a lot from this."
After spotting the Russians a 6-1 lead almost halfway into the third period, Canada rediscovered its identity and would pare the deficit to one with only 5:43 remaining. They'd unleash seven more shots and hit a post, but failed to get the equalizer.
"Obviously I'm very disappointed," said defenseman Brandon Gormley, who played fantastic throughout. "We came here to get that gold medal. It's not going to happen now.
"It's tough when you come back into the room and you're down 6-1," he continued. "I thought the boys did a great job of staying positive and battling back. We definitely looked back on last year. That [Canadian] team had a three-goal lead and [Russia] came clawing back, so that's what we tried to do. When you give up six goals, though, it's hard to come back."
Back in the 2011 gold medal game, Canada built a 3-0 lead through two periods only to see the Russians score five times on 10 shots in the third to claim a 5-3 victory. This was to be the year the Canadians gained some measure of revenge following that stunning defeat. The fact they had another shot at Russia would have made it that much sweeter, but the big red machine wasn't about to let that happen.
"We beat Canada and we win … wonderful win," Russia's bright young star, Nail Yakupov, told reporters.
Canada's captain, Jaden Schwartz, was asked how the team will regroup in preparation for Thursday's bronze medal game against Finland.
"Yeah, we're going to have to [regroup]," Schwartz said. "It's not the reason we came here. The reason we came here is to win the gold medal, but it's tough … we have to live with it now."
Starting goalie Scott Wedgewood, who was ultimately knocked out of the game after being run over by Russia's Yaroslav Kosov with 11:12 left in the second, summed up the feelings of just about every Canadian player.
"It's not what we came here for," he said. "We're obviously going to pick our heads back up and play the bronze game like we're supposed to and try to come out and win that game. Guys are upset and it's not what we wanted, but it's a learning experience for all of us. You've got to play a full 60 minutes. The cliché is said, but proven that it's true."

|Connecting the plastid: transporters of the plastid envelope and their role in linking plastidial with cytosolic metabolism.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21526967 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Plastids have a multitude of functions in eukaryotic cells, ranging from photosynthesis to storage, and a role in essential biosynthetic pathways. All plastids are of either primary or higher-order endosymbiotic origin. That is, either a photosynthetic cyanobacterium was integrated into a mitochondriate eukaryotic host cell (primary endosymbiosis) or a plastid-bearing eukaryotic cell merged with another eukaryotic cell (secondary or higher-order endosymbioses), thereby passing on the plastid between various eukaryotic lineages. For all of these endosymbioses to become functional, it was essential to establish metabolic connections between organelle and host cell. Here, we review the present understanding of metabolite exchange between plastids and the surrounding cytosol in the context of the endosymbiotic origin of plastids in various eukaryotic lineages. We show that only a small number of transporters that can be traced down to the primary endosymbiotic event are conserved between plastids of diverse origins.

Does your job require lengthy periods of time sitting at a desk, starring at a computer and occasionally getting out of your chair to grab a cup of coffee? Did you know that among stress and many other career-related activities, your desk job could be the cause of developing hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids are frequent among people who have desk jobs that require sitting at a desk for a large bulk of their day. Doing so for lengthy periods of time creates pressure in your bottom, and gravity causes blood to stay in that region. When we are busy at work, we forget to take an occasional break for activity. While we continue to stay seated at our desk, pressure continues to build in our bottom, and if you have had a hemorrhoid flare-up, the aggravation becomes intense because of the excessive and unnatural pressure.
If you have a job that may not be at a desk, but requires you to sit in some way, you are still at risk. For example, a judge, truck driver or a mail carrier are all likely to develop hemorrhoids during their career.
The best way to avoid this scenario for any job is to set aside a couple of minutes every hour to stretch, take a lap around the office and perform some jumping jacks or whatever activity you prefer. It is always a good idea to provide incentive to walk away from your desk.
Another option to prevent hemorrhoids at your desk job is to add a cushion to your chair in order to soften the pressure going to your bottom, which enables the sphincter muscle to feel less force from your body weight. The best option is to buy a comfortable cushion that is shaped like a donut. Always try multiple cushions, since you will likely be sitting on it for a long time. If you are unable to find a cushion, a pillow will work as well.
How does your company prevent hemorrhoids at work? Do your co-workers take time every hour to stretch, walk around or do something active? Does your company do group stretches each day to provide a healthy work environment? If the answer is no to either of the latter questions, consider making these changes to prevent problems with hemorrhoids.

Human Lives Must Not Be Saved by Destroying Other Lives, Pope Warns
| 1911 hits
VATICAN CITY, NOV. 11, 2003 (Zenit.org).- John Paul II pointed out the moral contradiction that is implied in saving human lives from diseases by destroying other human lives in early phases of their existence for the sake of research.
The Pope reaffirmed the Church's position on the issue of experimentation with embryonic stem cells when he received members of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences in audience on Monday. The academy is celebrating its 400th anniversary.
The scientists are meeting here to analyze the scientific and bioethical implications of stem cell technology and other therapies.
In his English-language address, John Paul II said: "Research in this field has understandably grown in importance in recent years because of the hope it offers for the cure of ills affecting many people."
"I have on other occasions stated that stem cells for purposes of experimentation or treatment cannot come from human embryo tissue," he said. "I have instead encouraged research on adult human tissue or tissue superfluous to normal fetal development."
The Holy Father stressed: "Any treatment which claims to save human lives, yet is based upon the destruction of human life in its embryonic state, is logically and morally contradictory, as is any production of human embryos for the direct or indirect purpose of experimentation or eventual destruction."

Florentine Design Group designed and built custom PowerPoint templates for Apex Generation, an environmental technology company. Apex Generation wanted to be able to combine a large amount of existing presentations into a master template which their sales force could use to alter and edit their presentations while on the road.
Apex Generation is a good example of a well-done short project that just about any designer can create and estimate. The multimedia flash intro and follow up training session are the only non-traditional pieces, which were outside the realm of HTML and Graphic Design.
The company supplied a number of basic PPT files, which contained an even wider variety of images (too large for a file they wished to email) formats, sizes, shapes, etc. The current PowerPoint file is a redesign of a series of PPT files done by an amateur developer. None of the original PPT files were used so the project was estimated as a new job noting that the client would supply most of the media (images, logos, photography and content).
The proposal sample for Apex Generation included with Proposal Pack has been updated to combine our previous Multimedia proposal for Apex Generation with the latest Proposal Pack materials.

Switch Foot
Hello. I just got a Twin shaped board for "switching". Is there a normal stance that I should set my bindings to so I can optimize my performance? Some people that I have talked to say I need to switch to "Duck foot". Specific recommendations on angles would also be appreciated. Or are we dealing with one of those situations where I should just set my bindings to whatever feels comfortable. Thanks.
Duck...I keep mine 15/15 degrees, both ways. Comfortable for me, but I've learned on it since day 2 like that...my brother thinkgs its uncomfortable as hell.
I'd say try somethin like 15/9 first, then move up if you want.
yea, i have always ridden at 15/-15 and its completly comfortable for me too. its also wonderful for switch. but yea, if you think you will be uncomfortable with this stance, just slowly work your way up to 15/-15 each time you go to the slope.

|Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation by Single-Vessel Access in Adults: Advantages and Limitations.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22990284 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vvECMO) conventionally requires the cannulation of two vessels. Here we report our initial experience with the "Wang-Zwische" (WZ) double-lumen cannula.In a group of n = 36 patients single venous cannulation for vvECMO was performed. A retrospective analysis was executed. A comparison of flow characteristics to standard two-vessel cannulation was performed. Mean age of the patient population was 48 ± 15 years (body mass index [BMI] 32 ± 13 kg/m). In n = 32 patients (89%) the cannula was implanted percutaneously under echo or fluoroscopic guidance in less than 30 minutes. Nine patients were partially mobilized on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. Oxygenation (partial arterial oxygen tension [PaO2]/fraction of inspired oxygen [FiO2]) improved significantly in all patients from 66 mm Hg (interquartile range [IQR] 58-87 mm Hg) before ECMO to 117 mm Hg (IQR 95-195 mm Hg, p = 0.001) after 24 hours. In seven patients (19%) nonfatal adverse events occurred, including three dislocations, two partial cannula thrombosis, one ventricular perforation, and one retroperitoneal hemorrhage. The negative pressures for drainage at a flow of 2.5 L/min were significantly lower in a standard (S) two-vessel approach compared with a WZ approach (S: -9 mm Hg; IQR -3 to -24 mm Hg, vs. WZ: -23 mm Hg; IQR -4 to -40 mm Hg; p = 0.04). The WZ cannula offers sufficient gas exchange in addition to certain advantages over standard cannulation, including facilitated cannulation in selected patients and improved mobilization.

|Docosanol: new drug. Herpes labialis: barely more effective than an excipient.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19637417 Owner: HSR Status: MEDLINE
|(1) Herpes is a contagious, recurrent viral infection of the skin and mucous membranes. In immunocompetent patients the recurrences can be troublesome but they heal spontaneously. Management is mainly based on lifestyle measures. Local application of an antiviral drug such as aciclovir has modest effects. It reduces healing time by about 2 days provided treatment is started as soon as the first symptoms appear; (2) Docosanol, a fatty alcohol, was recently authorized in France for treatment of episodes of herpes labialis; (3) A trial in 474 patients showed no tangible difference between docosanol and 5% aciclovir in reducing healing time; (4) Clinical evaluation also includes two trials versus an excipient (polyethylene glycol) including 370 and 373 patients. The median healing time was reduced by less than a day; (5) In these trials, the adverse effects of docosanol were similar to those of the excipients. In particular, docosanol cream contains excipients that can provoke allergic reactions; (6) In practice, docosanol cream is barely or no more effective than an excipient in treating acute episodes of herpes labialis. Lifestyle measures are still the cornerstone of herpes management.

Switched PDU's - Remote management and control of outlets
The CyberPower (PDU20SWT8FNET) 8-outlet 1U rack mount switched power distribution unit (PDU) provides 120V 20A output. It distributes power to 8 NEMA 5-20R receptacles from a single twist lock NEMA L5-20P plug, with unfiltered electrical pass-through. The switched outlet receptacles can be managed individually or collectively over the network using CyberPower Management Console /web browser and the RJ45 Ethernet port for network connection or locally using the LCD controls. Outlets can be turned on, turned off, or recycled on demand or at programmed times to address a number of needs including remote rebooting of locked equipment, load shedding, power sequencing, and locking out unauthorized loads.
The front LCD panel provides local control and monitoring of the PDU. Using the LCD controls, outlets can be used to turn on or turn off a single receptacle or multiple receptacles. Load management is accomplished by using the display to measure the electrical current used by connected equipment in amps. The LCD can also display input voltages to assist in diagnosing potential issues with input power. Power being consumed in watts can also be displayed, as well as, the IP address of the network interface for ease of installation.
The CyberPower Management Console offers real-time remote monitoring of PDU vitals as well as controlling outlets for networked clients. You can program outlets to turn on, turn off, or recycle at specified times. In addition to control, you can use Event Logging via a web browser/network connection to review history on power conditions, such as input voltages, load levels, and outlet status. Automatic event notifications via Email or SNMP Trap are sent to designated user when specified power events occur.
Designed for datacenters and other electrically demanding applications, this unit has a rugged, industrial-grade metal housing and a 12-foot AC power cord. It can be mounted either horizontally or vertically, includes a cord retention tray and is UL60950_1 and FCC Class A certified. A three-year warranty ensures that this PDU is free of defects in design, assembly, material or workmanship.

Pirates notebook: Martin makes rare start at third base
Pirates/MLB Videos
Pirates catcher Russell Martin sat at his locker early Saturday afternoon with scissors and a roll of tape, snipping at the laces of a newer-looking infielder's glove. When he finished, Martin gently put down the mitt and smiled.
"It's been broken in for a couple of years," Martin said. "It's been waiting for some action."
It finally got some Saturday night, when Martin made his 16th appearance at third base and his first start there since 2008. Third baseman Pedro Alvarez, who hits .201 against left-handed pitchers, got the night off against Braves lefty Paul Maholm.
Martin was not surprised by the move. About a week ago, manager Clint Hurdle mentioned that Martin should be sure to take some ground balls at third, just in case.
Martin played third base in youth leagues and at Chipola Junior College in Marianna, Fla. He was drafted as a third baseman by the Dodgers in 2002.
After he signed with the Dodgers, Martin worked out at extended spring training. One day, the group was short a player and needed someone to catch Jose "Jumbo" Diaz in the bullpen.
"He threw like 100 mph," Martin recalled with a laugh. "But I was sticking every ball. They saw I had good hands and decided (catching) would be a good fit for me."
Dodgers management sold Martin on the position change by telling him it would give him a better chance of reaching the big leagues. The only one dead-set against the move, Martin said, was coach Luis Salazar.
"I would've fought hard to make it (to the majors), wherever I played," Martin said. "I don't regret anything, because I'm happy where I am right now. But it definitely was a step back, going to catch. I had to learn a whole, new position and new aspect of the game. Whereas, at third base, you just go out there and play."
Third base is called the "hot corner" because it can test a player's agility and defensive skills. But Martin said it doesn't compare to the grind of catching.
"(Playing third) definitely helps you get a breather mentally," he said. "For me, it feels like a day off, mentally. I just get to go out there and have fun and enjoy the position."
Brief outings
Jonathan Sanchez's past two outings have been very brief, but only one of them was his fault. On April 10, Sanchez was bounced after giving up nine runs in 3 1⁄3 innings against Arizona. Last Tuesday, he tossed two innings before the game against St. Louis was rained out.
On the night of the rainout, Sanchez threw four simulated innings to keep his pitch count at a normal level.
"I feel fine," Sanchez said. "It's just like if I had thrown in a game."
Sanchez will start Sunday in the series finale against the Braves. In his side sessions, the left-hander has been working on his fastball command and delivery repetition.
"Last week (against the Diamondbacks) was the first time we'd really seen him spray the ball," Hurdle said. "There's a time you just need to push that last one away and focus on the challenge in front of you. For him, that means throwing low strikes."
Crunching numbers
In Friday's 6-0 win against the Braves, three Pirates pitchers combined to face 27 batters. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the last time the Pirates faced the minimum was July 25, 1982, against Atlanta, when John Candelaria tossed a four-hit shutout. ... Pirates pitchers have tossed three shutouts of two or fewer hits, which leads the majors. ... In his past five starts against the Braves, left-hander Wandy Rodriguez is 2-1 with a 1.09 ERA. Over his first eight starts against Atlanta, Rodriguez went 2-2 with a 4.73 ERA.
Boston strong
Proceeds from Saturday's Pirates Charities 50-50 raffle were donated to OneFundBoston, which is raising cash to assist families affected by the bomb attack Monday at the Boston Marathon. ... Also, "Sweet Caroline," a Fenway Park tradition, was played midway through the first inning as a tribute to the people of Boston.
Minor matters
On Saturday, Triple-A Indianapolis first baseman Matt Hague extended his on-base streak to 15 games and his hitting streak to six games. ... Right-hander Luis Heredia will begin throwing in extended spring training games this week. The Pirates plan to send Heredia to Low-A West Virginia in May and want to manage his pitch count now so he can finish the season with the Power.

Oh joy! printing works!Testing Jaunty Puppy, I've got my Ntavo thinstation PC (256MB RAM, 400MHz fanless CPU, no hard drive, boots off CF card) running. This PC has a parallel port so I was able to plug in my old Epson LX800 dot-matrix printer.
I copied the latest '463' build of Jaunty pup to the CF card, booted the Ntavo, and hey, printing finally works!!!
I don't know about Foomatic though. I'm away from home right now and only have the Epson printer with me, and tested the Gutenprint generic Epson 9-pin driver.
This has made my day.
The fixes that I put into the package templates in Woof have only been tested in the Ubuntu Jaunty build, but should apply just as well to the Debian Lenny build, and hopefully even to the others.
Ah, my trusty old Epson dot matrix. They made 'em tough then. I don't recall when I bought it, it goes back into the mists of time. It has been gathering dust in a heap of other old gear for the last 10 - 12 years. The ribbon still gives a very (very) faint image. Gee, I wonder if ribbons are still available? or re-inkers?

Dot matrix printer and ribbon
Since version 2.17, I can use CUPS to install Epson printers. The LQ type printer is still around, so yes, you can still find the printer ribbons. (Version 2.17 is the oldest known Puppy version able to work with Dual core PCs, that's why I remember.)

This has made my day
I am virtually paperless but many still need the essential print out. Very good news for them. My first printer took 5 minutes per page of text - no graphics - it used a daisy wheel - literally 5 minutes.
Have a great day

Old DM printers and others.
You can re-ink with ordinary endorsing ink available from any stationary supplier. If you dropper it onto the edge of the (fabric only)ribbon coil from both sides and leave it for a week, it'll be good as new.
The importance of getting an FX80 driver to work is profound. Many, many succeeding printers will also give a basic result, including old laser and early inkjet machines. Don't expect miracles, but drafting code, even threating letters to errant satellite ISP s can be adequate to get your message across.

Jaunty Puppy
I'm sorry to mention this here but it is as fundamental as printing.
I tried Jaunty Puppy 4.61 and it looks promising. The new libfreetype.so.6.3.20 with bytecode interpreter enabled gives on my Sony LCD monitor the best font rendering so far.
The problem that still remain unsolved is a Internet connection. I tried all the previous Woof releases as well as the latest Jaunty Puppy (upup-461.iso) and I still can't establish a Internet connection nor by using rp-pppoe for ADSL, nor by using my Manhattan USB Modem for analogue phone line.
It seems that both:
1. Manhattan USB Modem
GOOD!Modem selected!Device interface: /dev/ttyACM0
2. Network card
Puppy Network Wizard
eth0, Ethernet via-rhine, pci: VIA Technologies, VT6105/VT610S Rhine-III
'Puppy was able to find a live network'
are properly recognized but none of them can't establish Internet connection.
I even compiled and installed PPPoE Version 3.10 in Jaunty Puppy 4.61 but with no success.
When I compiled and installed PPPoE Version 3.10 in Puppy 4.12 it works well.
I downloaded the source for the latest RP-PPPoE Version 3.10 from here:
So, if you'll have a chance please check rp-pppoe and PupDial.

OLD printer RIbbon
Not a perfect solution, but spray your old ribbon with WD40... two solutions in one, lubricates the print head and restores the ink.. assuming the fabric is still good. Spin the take up side to be sure you get penetration to the entire ribbon, as the take up is a stuffer box. You can hook it up to a drill if you wish. Old trick
Don't over spray... Let the ribbon sit... to penetrate the entire ribbon.

Ink supply
Years ago I got an old dot matrix, ribbon dry as a bone, so just for a laugh, I prized the top off the ribbon compartment, and squeezed the contents of a "Biro", into it, put the top back on, manually moved the ribbon round for a couple of minute's, and it worked for years !, worth a try if in a fix.

CUPS Files
Regarding the missing backend files, why not just to a debian "package contents" search for them and add the relevant packages to your list?
Posted on 23 Apr 2009, 7:50 by BarryK
Re: missing CUPS files
Mostly the content of the 'backend' directory is the same as 'backend-available' directory.
I'm away from home and don't have access to my PC with Ubuntu Intrepid installed, then I can check -- I recall that it had one or two extra files in 'backend' that weren't in 'backend-available' -- after I get home I'll check that out.
Anyway, just choosing one file, backend/ipp, a search at packages.ubuntu.com shows that it is only in one package, 'cups'. And the filelist shows only one occurrence of that file:
So, probably Ubuntu has something else at runtime that copied the contents of 'backend-available' to 'backend'.
