Jimmy Carr issues tax plan Twitter apology
16:10 21 June 2012
Jimmy Carr admitted he made a "terrible error of judgment" over his tax arrangements and apologised for his actions.
The comedian, who is said to have used an aggressive but legal tax-avoidance scheme, spoke out after Prime Minister David Cameron called his tax dodging "morally wrong".
Carr was apologetic on micro-blogging site Twitter: "I appreciate as a comedian, people will expect me to 'make light' of this situation, but I'm not going to in this statement as this is obviously a serious matter.
"I met with a financial adviser and he said to me 'Do you want to pay less tax? It's totally legal'.
"I said 'Yes'.
"I now realise I've made a terrible error of judgment.
"Although I've been advised the K2 Tax scheme is entirely legal, and has been fully disclosed to HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs), I'm no longer involved in it and will in future conduct my financial affairs much more responsibly.
"Apologies to everyone."
Carr's statement came amid reports that he had bought his £8.5 million three-storey home in north London outright and had not taken out a mortgage.
Meanwhile, tax experts and politicians have outlined a series of changes to legislation and Government policy needed to tackle tax avoidance.
Richard Murphy, a chartered accountant and director of Tax Research UK, said the solution lies in introducing a principle which allows HM Revenue and Customs to strip out "artificial steps" and address the underlying economic "mismatch" between earnings and taxation.

How Does My Doctor Know I Have Malignant Mesothelioma?
If you're having symptoms of malignant mesothelioma, your doctor will ask you about these things:
Your health history
Your family's history of cancer
Your other risk factors, such as working with asbestos
Your doctor will also do a physical exam. The exam can help tell if you have fluid in the chest, abdomen, or heart. This fluid can be a sign of mesothelioma. It can also be a sign of some other cancer, or could be related to a condition that is not cancer. Then the doctor may do tests to find out if you really have mesothelioma. The most important and definitive test is a biopsy.
Imaging tests help your doctor see what is happening in your body. You may have 1 or more of these imaging tests to help find out if you have malignant mesothelioma. Or, if a biopsy (removing a sample of cells and looking at them under a microscope) shows you have mesothelioma, these tests may be done to help figure out how far it has spread.
Chest X-rays are often the first test done when a patient has a complaint such as prolonged coughing or shortness of breath. X-rays of your chest can help your doctor see if you have fluid or other signs of cancer in the spaces between your lungs. X-rays of your abdomen can help the doctor see if the abdomen is affected with areas of cancer.
Abnormalities seen on chest or abdominal X-rays may trigger your doctor to order one of the tests that follow.
Computed tomography (CT) scan
This test takes X-rays from many angles. It can be used to find mesothelioma and it can also help in determining how far it has spread.
To have the test, you lie still on a table as it gradually slides through the center of the CT scanner. Then the scanner directs a continuous beam of X-rays at your chest. A computer uses the data from the X-rays to create many pictures of your abdomen, which can be used together to create detailed pictures.
A CT scan is painless and noninvasive. You may be asked to hold your breath 1 or more times during the scan. In some cases, you may be asked to drink a contrast dye 4 to 6 hours before the scan. You may be asked not to eat anything in the time between drinking the contrast dye and having the scan. The contrast dye will gradually pass through your system and exit through your bowel movements.
Magnetic resonance image (MRI)
MRIs can show more detail than X-rays and can help a doctor figure out the location, size, and stage of the cancer. MRIs use radio waves and magnets. The energy from the radio waves creates patterns formed by different types of tissue and diseases. This makes cross-sectional pictures that look like slices of the body.
For this test, you lie still on a table as it passes into a large tube that will scan your body. While inside the tube, radio waves called radiofrequency signals are sent through your body to your chest. These are not X-rays. They are painless and noninvasive, and will cause no harm. A computer uses the data from the radio waves to create detailed pictures of the inside of your body. You may need more than 1 set of images. Each 1 may take 2 to 15 minutes, so the whole scan may take an hour or more. There are loud, grating, and thumping noises created during the scan. You may be given earplugs, headphones, or both to wear. If you are claustrophobic, you may be given a sedative before having this test. A 2-way intercom will let you talk to the people controlling the scanner.
Positron emission tomography scan (PET scan)
A PET scan can help your doctor know if cancer has spread. For this test, you either swallow or get injected with a chemical — usually a form of sugar (glucose) that carries a mildly radioactive substance. Cancer cells are more active than normal cells, so they usually take up more glucose. A few hours to a day later, you lie still on a table that is pushed into the PET scanner. It rotates around you, taking pictures of where the glucose is being used in the body. A PET scan is painless and noninvasive. Some people are sensitive to the glucose and may have nausea, headache, or vomiting.
Some cancer centers have new technology that combines a PET scan with a CT scan. The result is a more precise image of where the cancer is located.

Magnesium Sulfate for Preterm Labor
|Generic Name
|magnesium sulfate
Magnesium sulfate is most commonly used for the treatment of preeclampsia during pregnancy. But magnesium sulfate is sometimes used as a tocolytic medicine to slow uterine contractions or to help protect the baby's brain during preterm labor.
Magnesium sulfate is usually given through a vein (intravenously) until contractions have slowed and the mother's cervix has stopped thinning (effacing) or opening (dilating).
How It Works
This medicine is thought to affect the action of calcium in the body, and calcium must be present for the muscles of the uterus to contract.
Why It Is Used
Magnesium sulfate may be used to stop preterm labor when:
- Labor needs to be delayed for 24 to 48 hours
- Let corticosteroids given to the mother help fetal lungs mature.
- Provide time to move a mother to a hospital that offers neonatal intensive care, if her local hospital does not.
- Regular contractions of the uterus have thinned (effaced) the cervix and opened (dilated) it less than 4 cm, and the mother's amniotic sac has not broken.
- The mother is healthy.
- The fetus is alive and not in distress.
- Another tocolytic medicine has not slowed uterine contractions.
- Treatment with other tocolytic medicines has been stopped because of side effects.
If preterm labor is likely to lead to preterm delivery and the mother is less than 32 weeks pregnant, magnesium sulfate may be used to reduce the risk of certain problems with the baby's brain, such as cerebral palsy.1, 2
How Well It Works
Studies have shown that magnesium sulfate is unlikely to stop preterm labor.3 But if it's given to women in preterm labor who are less than 32 weeks pregnant, it may help reduce the risk of cerebral palsy in babies who are born preterm.4
Side Effects
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Muscle weakness and lack of energy.
- Blurry vision.
- Slurred speech.
- Headache.
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Flushing.
- Stuffy nose.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
In rare cases, symptoms of magnesium toxicity (nausea, muscle weakness, loss of reflexes) occur during magnesium sulfate treatment. The medicine calcium gluconate is given to treat the problem.
Magnesium sulfate:
- Affects the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) of the mother. Part of normal care when intravenous magnesium sulfate is given includes checking the mother's reflexes. If too much magnesium sulfate is given, the mother's reflexes will be slowed. Reflexes are usually checked about every 2 to 4 hours while the mother is on this medicine.
- Affects the fetus's central nervous system. If this medicine has been given to the mother in large doses and the baby is born before the drug has had time to clear the mother's body, the baby may have temporary problems with breathing right after birth. These problems are quickly reversed with medicine.
- Leaves the mother's body through her urine. The amount of urine she produces is closely monitored to ensure that this medicine does not build up in her bloodstream.
Mothers on magnesium sulfate are closely monitored. Blood pressure and pulse are checked about every 30 minutes for at least the first few hours of treatment.

The winners of the $35,000 grants are:
- The Alto Mayo Forest Carbon Project, Peru
As part of the organization's overall climate change strategy, Conservation International's office in Peru is carrying out the Alto Mayo Forest Carbon Project in northern Peru to reduce deforestation in the Alto Mayo Protected Forest, an area that has been threatened by agricultural encroachment, disorganized settlement, illegal logging and the presence of the nearby Northern Interoceanic Highway. The project will also serve as an input to the development of a national Peruvian strategy on reduced emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD).
- The Nhambita Community Carbon Project, Mozambique
Envirotrade has developed a business model using the sale of carbon offsets to support the conservation and management of existing forests and the planting of new ones. Envirotrade's flagship Nhambita project has worked with communities for the past six years to rehabilitate and manage the forests on their land and introduce new, sustainable farming practices, which have had a dramatic effect on crop yields such as cashews and fruits, and provide healthy livelihoods for about 1,300 families.
- Kakamega Forest Again Project, Kenya
Making Connections is a company devoted to promoting the environmental basis of livelihoods. The Forest Again Project will reforest 500 hectares of a biologically rich, yet threatened rainforest in Kenya, provide over 100 jobs, and build the capacity of a local community organization (KEEP) to help local people develop non-timber sources of income. The grants help defray the substantial upfront costs associated with developing high quality multiple-benefit projects and bringing them to the carbon market, such as GIS mapping, project consulting and studies. In addition, the grants help projects achieve validation to the Climate, Community & Biodiversity (CCB) Standards, which are rigorous and take into account a project's impact and benefits on the surrounding communities and on biodiversity.
"Our Genesis Forest Project was designed as a sustainable environment initiative and through these grants we hope that our modest investment will pay dividends for years to come," said Justin Osborne, national manager of brand strategy for Hyundai. "We know the grant recipients share our vision for a healthy planet, and we commend them for their dedication to preserving and protecting these important natural resources."
Carbonfund.org President Eric Carlson said, "About 25% of global warming can be attributed to deforestation, meaning reforestation and forest preservation are critical solutions to solving global warming. We're proud to be a partner with Hyundai on the HMA Climate Grant program and helping projects meet stringent third-party standards. Meeting CCB and other standards has helped Carbonfund.org's own projects distinguish themselves as among the highest quality offset projects."
HMA and Carbonfund.org partnered in Nov. 2008 to offset the emissions of all 2009 Hyundai Genesis sedans. The offsetting supports reforestation and conservation of more than 3,000 acres of tropical forest in the Cerrado Region of Brazil, a biodiversity hotspot. Named the Genesis Forest Project, this offset project will in total offset over 93,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide. Read more athyundai.carbonfund.org.
Moreover, the project follows the guidelines of the Social Carbon™ methodology, which means the project will be a model for sustainable development in the region. The project will be open to local communities and provide educational workshops to promote utilization of non-timber products. These practices can ultimately reduce pressure on remaining forests by promoting economically attractive alternatives to clearing forest.
"The Hyundai Climate Grant is a symbol of a paradigm shift in which livelihoods, traditionally built upon the consumption of natural resources, can be built upon the restoration and/or conservation of natural resources. Forest Again is a rainforest restoration project that is devoted to promoting sustainable livelihoods in Kenya," said Making Connections Director Mark Lung.
"Through Hyundai Climate Grants, Hyundai and Carbonfund.org are providing important support to these three projects that serve as great examples of how forest carbon offsets can create additional advantages by improving the livelihoods of the rural poor in developing countries and conserving endangered species," said Joanna Durbin, director of the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Alliance, which administers the CCB Standards. "The grants are helping these projects to move towards joining the growing number of projects using the CCB Standards."
Hyundai Motor America, headquartered in Fountain Valley, Calif. is a subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Company of Korea. Hyundai cars and sport utility vehicles are distributed throughout the United States by Hyundai Motor America and are sold and serviced through more than 780 Hyundai dealerships nationwide.
Carbonfund.org is the country's leading nonprofit carbon offset and climate solutions organization, making it easy and affordable for individuals, businesses and organizations to reduce and offset their climate impact. Carbon offsets enable individuals and businesses to reduce carbon dioxide emissions they are responsible for in their everyday lives by supporting third-party validated renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects where they are most cost effective. Carbonfund.org has over 400,000 individual supporters and works with over 1,000 partners including Discovery, Motorola, Amtrak, Dell, Orbitz, Virgin America, and Staples.
The Climate, Community & Biodiversity Alliance (CCBA) is a global partnership of leading NGOs and private sector corporations that created the Climate, Community & Biodiversity (CCB) Standards to enable identification of projects that adopt best practices to deliver robust and credible greenhouse gas reductions while also delivering net positive benefits to local communities and biodiversity.
The Social Carbon Company provides advice and carbon management services using the Social Carbon™ methodology to implement carbon emission reduction projects as an ethical basis for project development. This methodology has rapidly grown across Latin America in recent years and more recently in the U.S. and Europe.

Authorities say the Rev. Stephen Foote has been charged with Class C trafficking in prison contraband, specifically Suboxone, at the Two Bridges Regional Jail in Wiscasset.
A longtime Maine Episcopal priest has been placed on adminstrative leave following his arrest on drug trafficking charges.
The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office says the Rev. Stephen Foote, of Bremen, has been charged with Class C trafficking in prison contraband, specifically Suboxone, at the Two Bridges Regional Jail in Wiscasset.
Lincoln County Sheriff's Lt. Michael Murphy says Suboxone is a drug used to treat opiate addiction. Murphy says Foote claims that he was helping a parishioner who was an inmate at the jail and addicted to opiates.
"He knew what he was doing was wrong," Murphy says. "But he believed he was helping someone by doing this."
Murphy says that two inmates at the jail were also arrested and charged with attempted trafficking: Joshua Theriault Patten, 25, of Bremen, to whom Foote was allegedly bringing the Suboxone, and Adam Shawley, 27, of Newport, who allegedly received some of the drug.
The Episcopal Diocese of Maine says Foote was serving as transition priest-in-charge at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Augusta. In 2003 Foote retired as Dean of St. Luke's Cathedral in Portland.
An attorney representing Foote declined comment this afternoon.

Vampire Covens are groups of at least three vampires living together. Covens are not very common, as most vampires prefer to travel alone or in pairs, but a few exist stably over long periods of time, even rising to prominence in the vampire world. As most vampires drink human blood, they are wilder and bloodthirstier than "vegetarians" and therefore do not usually get along with each other as well. In large covens, members can easily turn on each other for domination of blood and the coven could be split apart by the feuding members. This is mostly common in South America, where covens are formed to battle other covens for territorial means.
Vampires also don't want to attract attention to themselves and it is harder to stay inconspicuous when there are so many living together.

When U.S. Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., talks about his record, he often points to his forest jobs and wilderness bill as an example of what he's trying to do: Fix things that are broken, by listening to Montanans.
"Did everybody get what they wanted?" he says. "No. But everybody who wanted their input in it was at the table."
The 2009 bill, which has yet to pass, would create 660,000 acres of new wilderness in western Montana while dictating that 100,000 of acres of national forest be managed for logging, to help create timber jobs while preserving wild areas.
Yet Tester's main re-election opponent, Rep. Denny Rehberg, R-Mont., has opposed the measure, saying its only guarantee is more wilderness, while giving no such assurance for logging in the forests.
"It doesn't mandate (any logging)," Rehberg says. "He can say that, but it's just not true. I'm trying to tell people who were part of the collaboration that they're being sold a bill of goods here." Continue reading

The Yakiniku Q (焼肉Q, Yakiniku Kyū) is the favourite Korean, Gyū-Kaku-style yakiniku restaurant of Team Asuma that is located in Konohagakure. Its salted beef tongue with Welsh onion (ネギタン塩, negi tanshio) is a very popular dish in the village. The original Yakiniku Q was destroyed during Pain's invasion.
Asuma Sarutobi first took Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, and Chōji Akimichi when they met and continued to be regular customers throughout the Naruto series, only going there when they completed a mission and when they host celebrations, such as when Shikamaru was promoted to chūnin.
The restaurant is large with wide windows, multiple green-seated booths, though some tables allow customers to sit down on the floor with green cushions as their seats, menus plastered on the walls, and due to their Gyū-Kaku-style, each table has a charcoal brazier built in the centre and is equipped with tongs for cooking, since the Gyū-Kaku form of dining is one in which the customers cook their own food after ordering it raw.
Other Media
In Naruto Shippūden 3: Inheritors of the Will of Fire, Naruto Uzumaki invited the entire Konoha 11 for his and Sai's recovery party, claiming that Shikamaru would pay for them (without getting his consent). In Rock Lee no Seishun Full-Power Ninden, Ino invited Rock Lee, Neji Hyūga, and Tenten to join her with Shikamaru and Chōji in order to help Lee and Neji's teamwork.

Economics and environmentalism are types of modern religions. So says Robert H. Nelson in his analysis of the roots of economics and environmentalism and their mutually antagonistic relations in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The present debate raging over global warming exemplifies the clash of these two public theologies.

Will use these heated floors again!
We really enjoy the slate, esp. since they are heated. It was our tile guy's first time working with the elec mats. We could not find anyone in Laramie who had experience with that type of heated floor. It turned out great and he indicated he would steer future clients to heated floors. We will put heated floors in the future bathroom remodel, so you'll be hearing from me again.

Vancouver GuideVancouver is a coastal city located in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada. It is named for British Captain George Vancouver, who explored and first mapped the area in the 1790s.
The metropolitan area is the most populous in Western Canada and third-largest in the country, with Vancouver itself ranking eighth among Canadian cities. According to the 2006 census Vancouver had a population of 578,041, and just over 2.1 million people resided in its metropolitan area. Over the last 30 years, immigration has dramatically increased, making the city more ethnically and linguistically diverse; 52% do not speak English as their first language. Almost 30% of the city's inhabitants are of Chinese heritage.
ClimateIn winter, a majority of days receive measurable precipitation. Summer months are drier and sunnier with moderate temperatures, tempered by sea breezes. The daily maximum averages 22 °C (72 °F) in July and August, with highs rarely reaching 30 °C (86 °F). On average, snow falls on eleven days per year, with three days receiving 6 centimetres (2.4 in) or more. Average yearly snowfall is 48.2 centimetres (19.0 in) but typically does not remain on the ground for long.
Winters in Greater Vancouver are the fourth mildest of Canadian cities. Vancouver has daily minimum temperatures below freezing for an average of 46 days per year and below −10 °C (14.0 °F) on two days per year. On average, 4.5 days a year have temperatures staying below freezing.
EducationThere are five public universities in the Greater Vancouver area, the largest being the University of British Columbia (UBC) and Simon Fraser University (SFU), with a combined enrollment of more than 80,000 undergraduates, graduates, and professional students in 2008. In 2006, UBC was ranked 27th best university in the world by Newsweek magazine, and SFU ranked as the best comprehensive university in Canada by Maclean's University Rankings in 2009. The other public universities are Capilano University, the Emily Carr University of Art and Design, and Kwantlen Polytechnic University.
The Canadian College and other colleges in the surrounding areas of Metro Vancouver provide career, trade, and university-transfer programs.
Quality and cost of livingVancouver has been ranked one of the most livable cities in the world for more than a decade. As of 2010, Vancouver has been ranked as having the 4th highest quality of living of any city on Earth. In contrast, according to Forbes, Vancouver had the 6th most overpriced real estate market in the world and was second-highest in North America after Los Angeles in 2007. Along with Toronto, Vancouver has also been ranked among Canada's most expensive cities in which to live. Forbes has also ranked Vancouver as the tenth cleanest city in the world.
Sports and RecreationThe mild climate of the city and close proximity to ocean, mountains, rivers and lakes make the area a popular destination for outdoor recreation. The city has several large beaches, many adjacent to one another, extending from the shoreline of Stanley Park around False Creek to the south side of English Bay, from Kitsilano to the University Endowment Lands, (which also has beaches that are not part of the city proper). The 18 kilometres (11 miles) of beaches include Second and Third Beaches in Stanley Park, English Bay (First Beach), Sunset, Kitsilano Beach, Jericho, Locarno, Spanish Banks, Spanish Banks Extension and Spanish Banks West. The coastline provides for many types of water sport, and the city is a popular destination for boating enthusiasts.
Within a 20-to-30-minute drive from downtown Vancouver are the North Shore Mountains, with three ski areas: Cypress Mountain, Grouse Mountain, and Mount Seymour. Mountain bikers have created world-renowned trails across the North Shore. The Capilano River, Lynn Creek and Seymour River, also on the North Shore, provide opportunities to whitewater enthusiasts during periods of rain and spring melt, though the canyons of those rivers are more utilized for hiking and swimming than whitewater.

Liverpool On Labor Day, Patrick J. Oneill from Massena left his 2-year-old black Labrador locked inside a vehicle parked at the State Fair. Temperatures hovered at a hundred degrees. More than four hours passed.
Concerned fairgoers and a State Trooper made a valiant effort to save the animal, a female named Ali, but their first aid came too late.
Oneill, 66, was charged with animal cruelty and failure to provide sustenance, a misdemeanor under the Agriculture & Markets laws. Turns out he was already accused of mistreating 22 horses he owned in Massena.
When Oneill was arraigned on the new charge on Sept. 16 in Town of Geddes Court, he was greeted by a dozen animal advocates including members of the Animal Alliance of Greater Syracuse. Among the protestors was Deedee Dillingham, who lives in Liverpool.
"I'm outraged that yet another dog suffered and died at the hands of an alleged serial animal abuser," Dillingham wrote to me in an email. "In Ali's case, the dog who died from being left in extreme heat in the car at the New York State Fair suffered immensely before she passed away. Although this extreme form of abuse unfortunately falls under neglect, a misdemeanor, we believe that since the dog died a torturous death after being left in the car for hours on purpose, the charge should be bumped up to aggravated cruelty, which is a felony.
"Overall, our animal-cruelty laws need to be strengthened, and they need to be enforced. We also need animal-cruelty laws to move out of Agriculture & Markets and into the penal code."
Sadly, she says, Ali's death is anything but unusual.
"Animal abuse is rampant and ubiquitous, and it continues to be an epidemic," Deedee wrote. "Advocates are trying to raise awareness of animal cruelty, raise the level of consciousness, promote compassion towards animals and be the voice for those who cannot speak for themselves."

We spent Thanksgiving last year with the stomach virus making its way through the family. but in the end, we were all together.

Hope everyone is feeling better!
Aww, sorry to hear about all the sickies, hope you all enjoyed your day anyway :o)
Amen! Well said. Blessings, Pat
Thank you for the perspective. I really needed to read your post. I've really been struggling with disappointment and a difficult family situation. I really didn't want to ruin my 7 year old daughter's Christmas. I think that I really need to lighten up.

Thank you again and happy holidays!
I so agree. Last night we went to church to enjoy the carols, and see the live nativity. A couple with a new baby dressed as Mary, Joseph and the Baby Jesus complete with live lambs. It made me and my family feel the real meaning of Christmas.
Perfectly said, Amy. Merry Christmas to you!
so true! Thank you for sharing this. I was feeling the pressure of creating the "perfect" Christmas. And relaxed a little when I realized that would never happen, nor does it matter. Because of the very reason he said in his talk. You are wonderful! Hope you had a Merry Day! (we have 2 sickies here too)
Amen, Amy! Thanks for sharing such a lovely version of the Christmas story – we sometimes forget that we have been given the greatest Gift of all – we just have to accept it!
We started the vacation with a puker too. So far the rest of us are fine, thanks for posting the perspective reminder, that was a great talk!
Seems to be a bunch of stomach flu bugs going around. Unfortunately, one stopped here and I've got it. Things aren't good when Mama is sick! I hope it stops with me though. This certainly has been a Christmas to remember. Two throwing up and the movers come on Wed for our cross USA move to CA. It all can't be real, but don't you think that things didn't go the Mary
Beautiful post Amy 🙂 So important to keep things in perspective.
You have no idea how much I needed to read your post…We had a quarrel over Christmas in my family and I've been so upset about it I felt Christmas was ruined…the truth is as you say the little things that did go right that really should be our focus. Thanks for the message of perspective. :o)
A great post Amy! I hope everyone is better now and that you all had a Merry Christmas!
Our christmas started on 23 of Dec with our daughter falling down icy stairs on her way to dialysis. She spend Christmas eve in surgery having her left leg which had two major breaks put back together. We spent Christmas eve with our son-in-law and grandson without her. It was really surreal but we were happy that they were able to put her back together without complications. Christmas is never
President Uchdorf is one of my favorites (I know you're not supposed to have favorites, but he has really endeared himself to members of the church). Thanks for the lovely reminder.

What a lovely message. Thanks. And I hope you're all feeling better by now.

Comments On Jul 14, 2015:I was a devote Metzeler user, but when they switched to Chinese manufacturing the quality went downhill immediately. I ordered a pair of TR91's and installed them, and was instantly happy with the ride quality. What shocked me was how well they worked in rain, how sticky the are in cornering and not giving me any reason to clench my cheeks, and on top of all of that, they just didn't seem to go away, either..
I ended up changing them before their time was due because I had a 3000 mile ride in front of me and I figured there was a safe 2000 left in them.. Because they still had life left, and they still handled very well, I ended up spooning them on later.. I ended up getting another 3500 miles out of them before changing, and at that point I was just to the wear bars..
Anyway, because of the excellent ride in wet and dry, stickiness, and great life span I've ordered another set to spoon on soon.

The 2012 Part I Crime rate for Virginia Beach was 28.1 crimes per 1,000 residents, the lowest since 1965. Part I Crimes include both violent crimes -- homicide, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault; and property crimes -- burglary, larceny, motor vehicle theft, and arson. Annually, law enforcement agencies nationwide must report all crime uniformly to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
For 2012, violent crime, which accounts for only 6.0% of our reported Part I Crimes, decreased by 2.4% when compared to 2011. Homicides increased 40.0% from 15 to 21. Robberies decreased 22.3% from 412 to 320. Aggravated assaults increased 19.5% from 292 to 349. Rapes increased 17.2% from 58 to 68. The Part I Crime rate for violent crime is 1.7 crimes per 1,000 residents for the City of Virginia Beach.
Property crime accounted for 94.0% of reported Part I Crime and decreased 3.4%. Burglaries decreased 23.1% and larcenies increased 0.7%. Motor vehicle thefts decreased 0.4% and arsons decreased 10.5%. The Part I Crime rate for property crime is 26.4 crimes per 1,000 residents.
The Virginia Beach Police Department cleared 65.2% of violent crime cases during 2012 and 29.6% of property crime cases. According to the most recent figures from the FBI's 2011 Crime in the United States, the average violent crime clearance rate for all cities with a population of 250,000 or more was 40.0% and the average property crime clearance rate was 13.7%.
Chief James Cervera said, "We are pleased that our overall crime rate has continued to decline over a 10- year period. Last year violent crime was down by 2.4% and property crimes by 3.4%. Our continuous above national average clearance rate is a direct result of highly trained and educated officers and staff of the Virginia Beach Police Department. We also commend our highly successful Crime Solvers program and tireless citizen participation in keeping our city safe. We vow to remain focused on proactive crime prevention strategies and our goal-oriented focus on neighborhood issues revealed in 1400 door-to- door surveys. We will continue to reduce crime in 2013 using community partners and technology to allocate manpower where it is needed the most to ensure that Virginia Beach remains one of the safest cities in the nation."

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Do you think everyone in Augusta should pay the same in property taxes? They do not, and the city is on a dual tax code system. Some city leaders are working to change it.
After they figure out a new tax code, the full commission will still have to vote. Then commissioners will have to vote to change the city's charter. Property owners, much you pay for the next few years could be in question.
City leaders are working on reforming the tax code.
"I just paid $600 on a $2,600 just for property taxes," said property owner Eddie Williams.
"The cost of living has went up and a lot of people can't afford high taxes right now," said property owner Gwendolyn Haynes.
"What we need to do is make sure we have an equal tax code. Now we have dual tax codes," said Commissioner Alvin Mason.
Mason is one of three commissioners working to change property tax codes. The differences between what suburban and urban taxes include the cost for trash, fire and street lights.
"Urban pays the county fee, and urban tax on top of that, and the urban fee is more," said City Administrator Fred Russell.
"Once we see what it would be for a single code, then we would determine if that was feasible or appropriate," Mason said.
"At some point, some things are going to change, and more than likely, most people are not going to be happy about that," Russell said.
"The fact of the matter is there's nothing easy that we do in this government. The fact that it's hard is not a reason not to do it," Mason said.
"It could mean that they might end up with the property. I'm not going to keep struggling and killing myself to try and pay it," Williams said.

Early voting in Colorado started a week and a half ago, and to say many are taking advantage of it is probably an understatement.
Out of 3.5 million registered voters in Colorado, 1.1 million have taken advantage of early voting. With early voting continuing through Friday evening, that number will likely continue to swell.
For the presidential race, Colorado has been too close to call, with both President Obama and Mitt Romney enjoying a razor-thin edge depending on the poll. Though Colorado has released the party affiliation of those casting an early ballot, that data does little to provide clarity to the state of the race in Colorado: 38 percent of those voting early are registered Republicans, 35 percent are registered Democrats. Votes will not be counted until Election Day on November 6.
Across the country, 19 million people have voted early.

Here's a lesson in never taking no for an answer.
Courtney Murray, a Windsor teen, returned from Florida after participating in a packaging event for Kids Against Hunger determined to continue volunteering. The aid organization packs and sends nutritious meals to hungry children and families in more than 60 countries.
Murray, 17, researched the international organization, filled out the necessary paperwork to start Connecticut's first satellite branch and anxiously awaited word that she was good to go.
But then came the disappointing news that she was too young to start a branch; she had to be at least 18.
Hey, at least she tried, right?
Not good enough -- at least not for Murray.
She called the organization's Minnesota headquarters and talked to Gary Korpi, director of satellite operations.
Korpi remembered her well when I called him the other day.
"She was very excited," he recalled. "We were impressed by her enthusiasm."
Which is why despite the age requirement, he spoke to founder Richard Proudfit and they decided they would give Murray a chance.
Murray wasted no time forming Kids Against Hunger - Windsor, Inc. and fundraising for her first packing event, planned for August 14 at the Metropolitan Learning Center in Bloomfield.
She's still shy of meeting her $4,000 goal for equipment and supplies, but has high hopes she'll raise the amount by her August 1 deadline. Lots of friends and family have already signed up to help, but Murray is looking for more volunteers to participate in the upcoming packing event.
To make a donation or to volunteer, check out www.kidsagainsthunger.org/index.shtml for information about the international organization or http://kahwindsor.org/ to learn more about Murray's satellite branch.

José Angel Moreno, United States Attorney
Southern District of Texas
A sealed nine-count federal indictment has been unsealed following the arrests of three U.S. citizens and three Cambodian nationals for allegedly conspiring to commit marriage fraud, benefit/visa fraud and passport fraud, United States Attorney José Angel Moreno announced today.
"The United States, a melting pot for immigrants from all corners of the world, continues to welcome legal immigration," said Moreno. "It is illegal immigration, whether by illegal entry, overstay, or fraud, which cannot and will not be tolerated. We will continue to aggressively prosecute those who circumvent, or attempt to circumvent, the legal immigration process."
Julianne Garcia, 27, and Helen Garcia, 64, both U.S. citizens; and Lorn Sou, 46, a Cambodian-born naturalized United States citizen, were arrested today by special agents of the Department of State - Diplomatic Security Service (DSS), the agency that investigated the case. All are expected to make their initial appearance before United States Magistrate Judge Mary Milloy in Houston today. Samphear Thou, 35, a Cambodian national, and Jane Doe, age unknown, a Cambodian national, identified in the indictment by a number of aliases including Leaphiny Muth, were also arrested today in Midland, Texas, where they reside. They will make their initial appearances before a federal judge there before being transferred to Houston to face charges. The sixth defendant, Michael Reese, 57, a U.S. citizen from Pasadena, Texas, was arrested yesterday, appeared before U.S. Magistrate Mary Milloy and was ordered released on bond.
All six of the defendants are accused of conspiring to commit marriage fraud for the purpose of evading immigration laws and knowingly presenting applications, affidavits and documents containing materially false statements which they subscribed to as being true.
"Americans who break the law by committing marriage fraud or other, related offenses may potentially threaten the national security of the United States," said Peter S. Hargraves, special agent in charge of the State Department's DSS, Houston Field Office. "The U.S. visa is one of the most coveted travel documents in the world, and foreign nationals who acquire visas fraudulently to enter the United States may do so in order to carry out criminal activities, including terrorism. This case demonstrates Diplomatic Security's commitment to investigating these crimes and helping bring them to justice."
The indictment, returned by a Houston grand jury on Monday, May 10, 2010, alleges the conspirators would and did recruit U.S. citizens to enter into fraudulent marriages with Cambodian nationals. These "recruits" were paid substantial "marriage fees" to enter into the sham marriages. The conspirators entered into the sham marriages for the purpose of fraudulently obtaining the benefit of conditional permanent resident status and later lawful permanent resident status in the United States as the spouse of a U.S. citizen. In some instances, a recruit was required to kickback a portion of the marriage fee to their recruiter.
In exchange for payment, the indictment alleges Julianne Garcia entered into a sham marriage with Thou in August 2006, while Reece entered into sham marriage with Doe in December 2006 - each with the ultimate purpose of circumventing immigration laws and obtaining residency benefits for the foreign national.
Helen Garcia (Julianna's mother) and Sou allegedly aided, abetted and assisted Julianne Garcia and Thou to enter into fraudulent marriage. Helen Garcia allegedly received payment for her alleged assistance. Sou is also accused of aiding and abetting the fraudulent marriage between Reece and Doe. Sou allegedly allowed her residence to be used on the marriage license applications as the residence address for both couples. Both couples posed for photographs at the residence which were later submitted to the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services to establish their relationships as bona fide marriages.
As part of the conspiracy, the indictment alleges the conspirators coached the recruited spouse - providing verbal and written instructions on what to say when questioned or interviewed by law enforcement or immigrations officials about the marriages. The conspirators allegedly thereafter prepared, signed and filed false immigration forms to obtain the benefit of conditional/permanent resident alien status accorded to the foreign spouses of U.S. citizens.
Doe is also charged with visa fraud, using and possessing a U.S. non-immigrant visa in the name of Leaphiny Muth, which was allegedly procured by means of a false claim and statement in 2007 and 2009. Doe and Reece are also accused of falsely claiming in February 2008 on a passport application for a minor child that Reece was the father.
According to the indictment, in February 2001 Doe applied for a visitor's visa to the United States from Cambodia under the name Chanthy Sou, but was rejected entry. Later, Doe applied under the name of Leaphiny Muth and received a tourist visa, entering the United States on July 24, 2001. Thou allegedly received a tourist visa to enter the U.S. on Jan. 16, 2003.
The conspiracy charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison and a $250,00 fine upon conviction. Passport fraud and visa fraud each carry a maximum punishment of 10 years imprisonment and a $250,000 fine upon conviction.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Kebharu H. Smith.
An indictment is a formal accusation of criminal conduct, not evidence.

WASHINGTON – Police are searching for a woman who slashed another woman on a Metrobus.
Metro officials say the two women got into a verbal altercation on a bus Saturday morning in southeast Washington. The incident escalated into a physical fight, and one woman slashed the other on the forehead.
The suspect fled on foot, and the victim was taken to a hospital with non- life-threatening injuries.
Metro says the bus is being taken out of circulation so that police can review surveillance video.

May 6, 2016
Several people recommended that Lauren give her new baby sister a gift at the hospital to welcome her into the world. We selected an adorable lovie with Kate's name monogrammed on it for Lauren to present to Kate. In return, Kate "gave" Lauren a new toy (the hair dresser apron and tools from Melissa & Doug...something sisterly!).
These physical gifts are great, but I quickly came to the realization that Lauren's real gift to Baby Kate was actually that of parental confidence.
My husband, Chris, and I both agree we feel much more relaxed with Kate as a newborn than we did with Lauren. I honestly felt more "prepared" for Lauren, because I spent my pregnancy learning about caring for an infant, how to feed them, how to help them sleep, and so on. I was worried in the final months of this pregnancy that I had not done enough "studying" this time around, and I would be unprepared.
Caring for a newborn is not like riding a bike; it's even better.
Another gift of Lauren to Kate is that we now fully understand how quickly children grow. Everyone tells you, "they grow up so fast!" You believe them without fully understanding what they mean. Now, I know. I look at Kate, so tiny in her daddy's arms, making all those sweet, sometimes funny, facial expressions that babies make when they sleep. Then I peek in on my sleeping toddler and can't believe how much she's grown. Now I understand, Kate will do the same.
When I think about it, that's more of a gift from Lauren to my husband and me: the knowledge that this tiny little baby will quickly grow into a tiny little person. She's so far a sweetheart, and I can't wait to see who this little Baby Kate of mine will become.

Perhaps this should be renamed "Trelawney's Prophecy"? Mafalda Hopkirk 13:08, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
- Hmmm ... but the Prophecy concerns Harry. It might be confusing. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 13:24, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
- 'The' works unless there are any other notable prophecies it's competing with. Ty 06:14, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
Links in the Quote
In the quotation of the prophecy, it links 'those who have thricce defied him' to the Potters. But this is misleading, for the Longbottoms also thrice defied Voldemort. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Silverdrama (talk • contribs) 14:40, 30 March 2009.
- You're correct. I've removed the links from the quote. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 13:25, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
I think the title of this article needs to be changed, because it currently implies that Trelawney's first prophecy was the only one in history, when there is an entire Hall filled with prophecies in the Department of Mysteries. Any ideas? ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 13:40, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Voldemort and death eaters
Why did Voldemort and his death eaters didn't take immediality the prophecy, since they fast found Harry and his friends. This wouldn't caused Sirius death, because they already had the prophecy if they stealed it. They had all the time in harry potter 5 to take that prophecy, but they didn't take it. Why had Harry give that prophecy to Lucius? They could have it all immediality. So I would say, YOU'RE NOT SMART VOLDEMORT. lol. Could someone explain that to me?--Station7 20:40, December 6, 2009 (UTC)
Propecies can only be removed my whom they are made about. This is why Voldemort lured Harry to the Ministry, as his Death Eaters couldn't have retrieved it themselves. Merlin. 10:13, March 21, 2011 (UTC)
Oh, just realised this has already been answered :) Merlin. 10:14, March 21, 2011 (UTC)
Death Eater Question
To the Death Eater question:
The reason Lucius didn't just take it was because he was unable to. The only people who are allowed to take the prophecy are the ones that prophecy mentions. So the only people who would be able to retrieve the prophecy from the shelf was Harry Potter, Voldemort (and maybe even Neville cause the prophecy could have ment him.) That is why Lucius needed to have Harry give it to him. That is also why Voldemort sent the false vision of Sirius being tortured in the first place, so Harry could grab the prophecy from the self. JUST in case you are wondering, the reason why Voldemort never went there himself to retrieve the prophecy was that the Minister of Magic didn't believe him to be back and was separating the wizardry community from Harry and Dumbledore, so Voldemort couldn't risk being seen by the Ministry. Ashbaum17 04:56, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
/* Reaction */
"Oddly enough, the prophecy referred to two people who would be born at the end of July: Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom. Although the prophecy referred to both Potter and Longbottom, Voldemort decided that it was Harry to whom the prophecy was referring."
This is just a thought, but I just feel like it shouldn't say that Voldemort decided it was Harry, because Harry hasn't been born yet. Would it be more appropriate to say the child of James and Lily? And when it said "two people who would be born at the end of July: Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom", could it be put later known as? Maybe?
Maybe that doesn't make sense, hmm, but just a thought. Theonlyhermione 15:45, March 9, 2010 (UTC)Theonlyhermione
- Well, we don't know the time frame in which Lord Voldemort chose Harry, but that change would still work either way. --JKoch(Owl Me!) 15:52, March 9, 2010 (UTC)
Very true, but to know that Snape overheard the prophecy, can we assume that he told Voldemort immediately? Of course then that doesn't mean he made that decision right away, but I can't imagine him making it a last minute decision. Theonlyhermione 16:04, March 9, 2010 (UTC)Theonlyhermione
Neither can live
Does anyone understand that last part? Clearly both of them were alive and living while the other was surviving. Furthermore, the destruction of Harry actually hastened Voldemort's death since he was a Horcrux. Harry poses a risk to Voldemort but doesn't prevent him from living. Is it just to mean that they both really want to kill each other?
It's almost sort of self-fulfilling though since the reaction to the paranoia about the prophecy was what gave Harry the means and motivation to fight Voldemort. Ty 06:14, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
Did his contribution in slaying the final horcrux relate to the prophecy in some way? Ty 06:14, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
It was mentioned in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban;
'Professor Dumbledore – yesterday, when I was having my Divination exam, Professor Trelawney went very – very strange.' 'Indeed?' said Dumbledore. 'Er – stranger than usual, you mean?' 'Yes… her voice went all deep and her eyes rolled and she said… she said Voldemort's servant was going to set out to return to him before midnight… she said the servant would help him come back to power.' Harry stared up at Dumbledore. 'And then she sort of became normal again, and she couldn't remember anything she'd said. Was it – was she making a real prediction?' Dumbledore looked mildly impressed. 'Do you know, Harry, I think she might have been,' he said thoughtfully. 'Who'd have thought it? That brings her total of real predictions up to two. I should offer her a pay rise…' —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs).
Incorrect Dating?
Shouldn't the year be 1979, rather than 1980? J.K. Rowling said in an interview that Lily and James went into hiding when she got pregnant. That requires 9 months. 9 months prior to July 1980 is surely in 1979.

NYSE Euronext Inc. Stock Buy Recommendation Reiterated (NYX)
TheStreet) -- NYSE Euronext (NYSE: NYX) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a buy with a ratings score of B . The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, NYX's share price has jumped by 30.61%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Looking ahead, the stock's sharp rise over the last year has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.
- The current debt-to-equity ratio, 0.40, is low and is below the industry average, implying that there has been successful management of debt levels. Despite the fact that NYX's debt-to-equity ratio is low, the quick ratio, which is currently 0.52, displays a potential problem in covering short-term cash needs.
- NYSE EURONEXT has exprienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. The company has suffered a declining pattern of earnings per share over the past two years. However, we anticipate this trend to reverse over the coming year. During the past fiscal year, NYSE EURONEXT reported lower earnings of $1.39 versus $2.37 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($2.35 versus $1.39).
- NYX, with its decline in revenue, underperformed when compared the industry average of 6.9%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues fell by 13.8%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has decreased to $278.00 million or 14.46% when compared to the same quarter last year. Despite a decrease in cash flow of 14.46%, NYSE EURONEXT is still significantly exceeding the industry average of -111.06%.

cant find any word on here about Terrence Ross and I was wondering what his injury is/status after the wiz game
anyone know?
cant find any word on here about Terrence Ross and I was wondering what his injury is/status after the wiz game
anyone know?
So far there's no word from the official raptors twitter, BR, or rotoworld. I don't think the Raptors know the extent of the injury yet
not so good ....
Or he could be just questionable for one or two games. Never know with ankle injuries.
Well if he doesn't play in the GSW game on sunday hes gonna have ample time to recover because we dont play until friday Mar 7 vs Sacto
No injury updates coming from Raptors today. Will see if any of the injured go through practice tomorrow, go from there.— Ryan Wolstat (@WolstatSun) February 28, 2014
No practice today, so the media may not have had a chance to find out. I assume there will be an update tomorrow.
Update from practice:
@JLew1050: Lowry is participating in practice this afternoon, Ross is riding the stationary bike.
Twitter - @thekid_it
Lowry says he's good to go against Dubs. Ross didn't practice but Lowry thinks he'll play.— Ryan Wolstat (@WolstatSun) March 1, 2014
Surprised Lowry is already practicing. His looked pretty bad
Yeah, and hopefully after the nice long break, the Raps come out of the gate with some ferocity and solidify their position in the East.
Chicago is really pushing for it.
You can sink and drown, or you can float, and we out here like Michael Phelps."
Demar Derozan
Raps need to win their division. It's that simple.
It doesn't hurt to make a statement in this league by being the 3rd best team in the East. Everyone knows about Chicago's tenacity, its old news; but nobody knows about this tougher, cohesive Raptors team, and I think it could help change the league's opinion of the Raptors by maintaining their position at 3rd in the East.
I agree with you overall though.
You can sink and drown, or you can float, and we out here like Michael Phelps."
Demar Derozan
Any word on Ross' ankle?
@WillyT21 Lowry will play. Ross is questionable— Josh Lewenberg (@JLew1050) March 1, 2014
At least it doesn't sound sound serious for either one. Could use Ross' perimeter defense vs the "Splash Bros" though.
If Ross doesn't play tomorrow let Nando start at SG and DD at SF
So our rotations can stay the same
Also because I cannot handle 35 mins of Vasquez

Keep Fukudome
MLB.com is reporting there's interest from the Cubs in acquiring Mark Teahen or David DeJesus from the Royals in exchange for Kosuke Fukudome.
Most importantly, both Royals are left-handed hitter that would nicely complete Chicago's search for an everyday left-handed bat in the lineup.
Despite the fact both players are coming into their prime years – Teahan, 26, DeJesus, 28, they're short on power numbers.
The plus side is both are above average fielders and could potentially move into the leadoff spot replacing Soriano.
All this being said, I'm still not convinced Fukudome is a dud.
The Japanese star proved for many years in Japan that he's more than capable of being a first rate player in MLB.
Remember, we're talking about a player who not only changed leagues last year but, changed countries!
Both Ichiro and Hideki Matsui improved their numbers after making the adjustment from Japan to the States, I think Fukudome will do the same.
Now, whether Lou gives him that chance is another story.
Besides, Kosuke is owed $38 million over the next three seasons…seems unlikely Kansas City would be willing to take on such a large contract, and that may prove big for the Cubs next year.
