No improvement form the Thai Government this year so they will remain on the U.S. State Department shit list for human trafficking.
But, Thailand lucked out because the Department of Special Investigations (DSI) posted an article minutes before the official release of the Trafficking in Persons Report for 2012 worried that Thailand would drop to the bottom – Level 3.
Had DSI's prediction come true, Thailand would have been in some serious hot water with major sanctions imposed. Instead, Thailand remains at Tier 2 Watch List Human Trafficking level – just like they were last year. So, what does that mean. From the State Department web site:
Countries whose governments do not fully comply with the TVPA's minimum standards, but are making significant efforts to bring themselves into compliance with those standards AND:
a) ?The absolute number of victims of severe forms of trafficking is very significant or is significantly increasing;
b) ?There is a failure to provide evidence of increasing efforts to combat severe forms of trafficking in persons from the previous year; or
c) ?The determination that a country is making significant efforts to bring itself into compliance with minimum standards was based on commitments by the country ?to take additional future steps over the next year.
Here is why:
Thailand is a source, destination, and transit country for men, women, and children subjected to forced labor and sex trafficking. Victims from neighboring countries, as well as from China, Vietnam, Russia, Uzbekistan, and Fiji, migrate willingly to Thailand for various reasons including to flee conditions of poverty; individuals from Burma, who make up the bulk of migrants in Thailand, seek economic opportunity. The majority of the trafficking victims identified within Thailand are migrants from Thailand's neighboring countries who are forced, coerced, or defrauded into labor or commercial sexual exploitation or children placed in the sex trade; conservative estimates have this population numbering in the tens of thousands of victims.
And, the Thai Government does nothing about it.
The Government of Thailand does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking. The government has not shown evidence of increasing efforts to address human trafficking compared to the previous year; therefore, Thailand is placed on Tier 2 Watch List for a third consecutive year. Thailand was granted a waiver from an otherwise required downgrade to Tier 3 because its government has a written plan that, if implemented, would constitute making significant efforts to meet the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking and is devoting sufficient resources to implement that plan.
So, they have a plan but will it be implemented? If not, Thailand will definitely be downgraded next year.
Corruption remained widespread among Thai law enforcement personnel, creating an enabling environment for human trafficking to prosper. Allegations of trafficking-related corruption persisted during the year, including in cases of sex trafficking and forced labor of migrants. There were credible reports that officials protected brothels, other commercial sex venues, and seafood and sweatshop facilities from raids and inspections, and that some officials engaged in commercial sex acts with child trafficking victims. In addition to well-known corruption of local-level police officers, there were also protective relationships between central-level specialist police officers and the trafficking hot-spot regions to which they were assigned. There was no information indicating tolerance for trafficking at an institutional level. In 2011, DSI initiated three investigations of local law enforcement officials for taking bribes to protect brothels that harbored child sex trafficking victims; no disciplinary action was taken against any officials during the year, however, and these investigations remain ongoing.
And, corruption is the main theme that prevents Thailand from moving up the list and joining the First World countries.
Maybe this is something that the Ministry of Culture should work on instead of worrying about some bare titties on TV.

Scorpion (Pandinus dictator)
|Pandinus (1)
Listed on Appendix II of CITES (1).
One of the world's largest scorpions, thought to reach up to 17 to 20 centimetres in length (2) (3), Pandinus dictator and other species in the genus are popular in the pet trade (2) (4). Like other members of this group, Pandinus dictator possesses very powerful, broad pincers, short, robust legs with short and spine-like setae (hairs), a stout body and a thickened tail, all adaptations for a burrowing lifestyle (5) (6). Generally dark in colour, Pandinus dictator is not easy to tell apart from other Pandinus species; identification is usually based on the pattern of sensitive hairs, known as trichobothria, on the pincers, which varies between species (2). Like all scorpions, the body of Pandinus dictator fluoresces under ultraviolet light (7).
Pandinus dictator appears to have a rather restricted range in West Africa, including Cameroon, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon (2) (5).
Pandinus dictator can be found in lowland and montane rainforest at elevations of 110 to 640 metres, constructing burrows in termite mounds and under stones or logs (5).
Like most scorpions, Pandinus dictator is primarily nocturnal (7), and like other burrowing scorpions it spends most of its life in the burrow it has excavated, leaving only for courtship, mating, for burrow maintenance or to pounce on prey from the burrow entrance (6). While most scorpion species are solitary, it is thought that Pandinus dictator may show some social behaviour, with burrows sometimes occupied by more than one individual (3).
As part of a complex mating dance, the male scorpion attaches a spermatophore to the ground while grasping the female by the pincers or the chelicerae. The male then manoeuvres the female over the spermatophore, so that the female can receive the sperm (7) (8). Unusually among arthropods, young scorpions take a long time to develop and litter sizes are relatively small. Uniquely, scorpions are also viviparous, giving birth to live young rather than laying eggs. At birth, the young climb onto the female's back and remain there until the first moult; this maternal care may help protect the vulnerable young from predation, harsh environmental conditions or from drying out until the cuticle becomes fully waterproof (7) (8). Although little information is available on the lifespan of Pandinus dictator, it is likely that, like other scorpions, it is relatively long-lived (8).
Prey is detected using specialised slit sense organs on the legs, sensory hairs (trichobothria) on the pincers, or special comb-like sensory organs on the underside of the abdomen, known as pectines (7). As with other scorpions that possess large, strong pincers, this species is likely to use its pincers to kill and manipulate prey and to reserve its sting for larger prey or for use in self-defence (7). The venom of Pandinus dictator is not known to be dangerous to healthy adult humans.
Large scorpions such as Pandinus dictator are popular in the pet trade, and although this species is thought to be much rarer in the trade than the closely related Pandinus imperator (3) (4), this is difficult to monitor due to the difficulty for non-experts in distinguishing the different Pandinus species (4). It is not known whether destruction of its rainforest habitat is currently affecting Pandinus dictator, though the relatively small litter sizes and long generation times typical of scorpions may mean populations take a long time to recover from any losses (7).
Pandinus dictator was added to Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), meaning trade in the species should be carefully monitored and controlled, due to concerns over the level of international trade and the potential effects on Pandinus dictator populations. However, those responsible for monitoring traffic in these species are rarely scorpion experts, making identification of the different species a problem (2). There is also a lack of research into Pandinus dictator (2), meaning little is currently known about its biology and wild populations.
As a major group of predatory arthropods, scorpions are generally considered valuable indicators of the health of ecosystems and their disappearance often signals habitat degradation. However, few scorpion species receive formal protection and many are at risk of being lost before they have even been properly studied (7). It is likely that further research into Pandinus dictator will be needed before any necessary conservation steps can be implemented.

Scorpion Systematics Research Group, American Museum of Natural History:
Authenticated (19/03/09) by Dr Lorenzo Prendini, Associate Curator (Arachnids and Myriapods) and Head of Scorpion Systematics Research Group, American Museum of Natural History.
- Arthropods: a very diverse phylum (a major grouping of animals) that includes crustaceans, insects and arachnids. All arthropods have paired jointed limbs and a hard external skeleton (exoskeleton).
- Chelicerae: pair of appendages on the 'head' of an arachnid (spiders, scorpions, mites, harvestmen etc). In scorpions, these are claw-like and used in feeding (not to be confused with the larger pedipalps, or 'pincers').
- Cuticle: the outer, chitinous layer of the exoskeleton of an arthropod.
- Genus: a category used in taxonomy, which is below 'family' and above 'species'. A genus tends to contain species that have characteristics in common. The genus forms the first part of a 'binomial' Latin species name; the second part is the specific name.
- Montane rainforest: rainforest occurring in the montane zone, a zone of cool upland slopes below the tree line dominated by large evergreen trees.
- Moult: in insects, referring to stages of growth, whereby the hard outer layer of the body (the exoskeleton) is shed and the body becomes larger.
- Nocturnal: active at night.
- Spermatophore: gelatinous jelly cone with a sperm cap deposited by a male during courtship and picked up by the reproductive tract of the female.

Kids & Cursing: What the $#&! Kind of Parent Am I???Serge Bielanko
A few days a week, I pick up my daughter from her preschool, get her strapped into her car seat, hand her a Ziploc of Goldfish crackers and raisins, and pull away from the curb.
Then I roll up the volume of the radio on the Howard Stern show.
This makes me feel a little guilty, I guess, because some of the language is salty and I know it and I recognize that there are a legion of people out there who would raise their eyebrows at the fact that I am letting that kind of thing fly into my little girl's ears like a nasty gnat.
But still, I'm not gonna lie to you: I put it on.
I love Howard Stern's radio show and I don't get to listen to it too much what with working and taking care of my two children and blah blah blah, and so the 45 minutes or so I spend in the Honda each day fetching my daughter from school is when I crank him up.
It's not that bad, I tell myself.
She isn't really listening.
And if the language really does soak in at some point, and one of my kids wants to try it out themselves, I'll just take a fresh loaf of Irish Spring and jam it in their pie-hole, right?
Take it easy. I'm only !$#%@&! joking.
I know that's not the way to nip it in the bud. Yet, truth is, the only way to nip your kids' foray into cursing in the bud is probably to keep them from hearing it in the first place.
But, I don't think that's gonna happen over at my ranch.
See, my wife and I have been known to string a few oaths here and there. And yeah, there have even been times when we sounded like the Notorious B.I.G getting stung by a swarm of angry bees, right there in earshot our young ones.
I mean: How wrong is that?
That's a question I have been asking myself lately, not really in an effort to tame my spicy speak so much as to really get to the heart of why I don't seem to be all that worried about it to begin with.
I know people who get really flustered if you drop a cuss in front of their kids. People who will call you out on it. I think I wish I was that way too, secretly. But, it's hard, you know? It's really @&$!%*! hard when you've perfecting the art for so many years.
To be honest, I suppose I'm torn about it all in a way because, on one hand, I know that it's probably not beneficial in any way/shape/or form for impressionable young ears to hear bad words. On the other hand I can't seem to convince myself that they aren't going to hear it somewhere/somehow anyways before long. In my mind, it's almost like trying to keep them away from chocolate or fried food from day one. The more you try and 'protect' them from something that's everywhere around them, the more they are going to want it in the end.
But I realize that that could be the lazy part of me talking there, too.
In all seriousness, most of the time, I refrain from talking like a sailor. However, I'm here to admit to you that I have my lapses. My kids have heard George Carlin's list by now. I'm not proud of it. But still, at this point in time, I'm not losing much sleep over it either.
In the end, is cursing around kids a curse in itself? Am I relegating them to a life of unsavory hobo-ness by dropping language bombs on occasion? Are they going to walk into their first job interview some day down the line and sit down in the chair and announce to the person at the desk, " I really want to !$&%@#* work here, sir, because this has been my dream all of my $#@%*&! life."
Or is it just another bump in the long road of decision making that they are going to have to travel down, no matter what?

Oh I forgot to mention, I did meet up with a member of this board! Her and her son are the nicest people I have met in Vegas! And they live so close. I would definitly recommend goingto a group meetup once to see if you like it. My husband works long hours and only off 1 day a week so its nice to talk to someone.

LOL I know what you guys are talking about with the judgement. I was so worried the other ladies would judge me. I made sure the kids were dressed cute and worried about what I would wear. I even took the time to straighten my hair (even though it was raining). Guess what? There was everything from yoga pants to 'cute' jeans but everyone was casual (sneakers and whatnot). It was great. I bet you're overthinking it. I know I did!

The Obama administration says it is delaying a planned sale of four F-16 fighter jets to Egypt in light of the military overthrow that ousted Mohammed Morsi as president.
Pentagon press secretary George Little says President Barack Obama made the decision to hold up the sale. He said the delay applies only to the F-16 sale; the broader question of whether to suspend $1.3 billion in annual military assistance in response to the Egyptian military's removal of the country's Islamist president three weeks ago has not been settled.
Little said the administration has decided to proceed with an annual U.S.-Egyptian military exercise, called Bright Star.
Little was not specific about the reason for delaying the F-16 sale, beyond saying that it was deemed "prudent" in light of "the current situation."

A Pitt County businesswoman is accused of embezzling tens of thousands of dollars in state tax withholding funds.
Joanne Tuten of Winterville is CEO of the May Frances Partnership in Caring, Inc. She is facing one count of embezzlement of withholding tax, and three counts of obtaining property by false pretenses.
The Department of Revenue says Tuten helped the corporation embezzle nearly $74,000 in withholding tax from 2005 to 2009.
The state also says Tuten filed personal tax returns for the years 2006 through 2009 showing she had money withheld, when in fact she knew the money had not been sent to the state.
Tuten is being held on an $80,000 bond and has a first appearance Friday in Raleigh.
According to their web site, Tuten founded the May Frances Partnership in 2000. It says the Partnership assisted challenged people to find housing and health services, learning how to access public transportation and meet their basic needs. A phone number listed for the business is no longer working.

Report: Bills' Dareus arrested in Alabama
by Joe Buscaglia
posted May 6 2014 10:11PM
The Buffalo Bills and the rest of the NFL have under two days to go until the start of the 2014 version of the draft, and they were putting all of their focus into those efforts. At least, that was until Tuesday night.
According to WVUA-TV, Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Marcell Dareus was arrested in Cleburne County in Alabama. Multiple reports indicate that Dareus was arrested on Monday night for felony possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia.
Travis Leder, who works for the station that originally broke the story, reported that the substance was synthetic cannabis or "spice." After Dareus' arrest he was released within an hour.
The Bills commented on the story Tuesday night around 11 pm through the team's Senior Vice President of Communications Scott Berchtold:
"All we know right now is what we have seen in media reports and we will continue to look into this."
The former third overall pick, Dareus just had the fifth-year option of his contract picked up by the team for the 2015 season. He was disciplined twice at the end of the 2013 campaign for what a league source called being "habitually late" to team meetings.
Keep checking back for more details on this story.

Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Triple Leaf Tea's Ancient Chinese Medicinals
Traditional Chinese medicine began in approximately 2500 B.C. Recently, here in the West, people have discovered the value of this ancient system which focuses on aiding the body's own healing mechanisms through restoring harmony and balance. The Chinese system of herbology has been recorded in ancient texts which are studied and employed even today. This time tested knowledge has been passed on from generation to generation over the centuries.
Triple Leaf Tea comes from such a tradition. It is made in the U.S.A by a Chinese American family-owned business. The company owner can remember stories of his own grandfather selling herbs and teas in his village in China. Today, these traditional Chinese herbal formulas are available to you. We wish you harmony and balance!
Note: This tea is not recommended for use by pregnant women or nursing mothers - if you are pregnant or nursing, consult your health care practitioner first before using.

I am satisfied with these tea bags. They are indeed relaxing and are worth the money.
I wouldn't say it knocked me out but it did relax me a little. I loved the excellent flavor! It's more for relaxing than a bedtime tea and for the price, I cannot complain.

This tea requires at least 2 bags in one cup in order to taste anything or feel a calming affect. It works well and is relaxing, but one teabag just won't do it. Double or triple up.

(By Balachander) U.S. stock-index futures pointed to a flat opening on the Wall Street amid lingering concerns over the looming "fiscal cliff" even as European officials agreed over a debt-reduction package for Greece.
Mini Dow Industrial Average futures dipped 8 points to 12,928. The Nasdaq futures inched up 4.25 points to 2,650. Standard and Poor's 500 futures lost 0.30 points to 1,403.
The Eurozone and the International Monetary Fund agreed on a plan to reduce Greece's sovereign long-term debt by around 40 billion euros, or 124 percent of gross domestic product by 2020.
European partners also committed to bring back Greece's debt to substantially below 110 percent of GDP by 2022, conditional on full implementation of the program by Greece.

Investors may also focus on a speech by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke for any hints regarding future monetary policy.
On the domestic data front, durable-goods orders for October were unchanged, versus economists expectations of a fall of 0.6 percent. New orders - excluding transportation - unexpectedly rose 1.5 percent, while expectations were for a 0.5 percent decline. Durable-goods orders measures the change in the total value of new orders for long lasting manufactured goods.

On Monday, U.S. stocks closed on a mixed note as investors await the results of a third meeting of European officials over a debt-reduction package for Greece and worries over the so-called fiscal cliff weighed on the sentiment. President Obama has pushed for higher taxes on wealthy Americans to address the fiscal cliff of roughly $600 billion in spending cuts and tax increases that could hit economic growth.
A new analysis by the President's Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) finds that consumers could spend nearly $200 billion less than they otherwise would have in 2013 just because of higher taxes. Allowing the middle-class tax rates to rise and failing to patch the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) could cut the growth of real consumer spending by 1.7 percentage points in 2013.
In corporate news, Dollar General Corp. (NYSE: DG) added 3.12 percent in premarket. The discount retailer will replace Cooper Industries Plc (CBE) in the S&P 500 after the close of trading on Friday, November 30.

Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ: FB) added 1.50 percent in premarket. Nomura raised its price target on the stock to $32 from $27.
Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE: LVS) jumped 4.11 percent in premarket after the casino operator declared a special cash dividend of $2.75 a share.

Whatever. Rossi vs Gibernau was an epic race with thousands of overtakes. Rossi's last overtake then was not a dignified thing but the "heat of the race cup racer move" . If you watch this race it really is an epic battle. it was not a planned or rehearsed move.
Marc's strategy was just wimpy: " I'll ride behind 2nd until the last lap. Give it a few uncontrolled tries planning my moves almost running in the back of Lorenzo a few times, Marc's signature style, and then "I'll just bang him of the road in the very last corner and pretend that that's the way all my heroes did it. well...
it does not have quite the same taste...kiddo. Try racing instead of
awesome riding though! racecraft isn't quite there yet

Online ad spending has been fortunate in the economic downturn—recession-resistant due to its high level of accountability, Internet ad revenue growth has remained positive as spending in all other media dropped.
In the UK, the effect has been so dramatic that online took the biggest slice of advertising revenues in the first half of 2009. Research from the Internet Advertising Bureau UK (IAB UK), PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and the World Advertising Research Centre (WARC) put online revenues at 23.5% of the total from January to June, 1.6 percentage points ahead of TV.
This makes the UK the first major economy to see online spending overtake television.
"Internet advertising has beaten all expectations to achieve growth in the most challenging market conditions," said Guy Phillipson, chief executive of the IAB UK, in a statement. "Online display has performed notably well against its peers in TV, print and radio despite more than £1.5 billion being wiped off the advertising industry."
Paid search led online growth, while spending on display ads and classifieds fell.
Interestingly, the UK TV lobby is fighting back. Lindsey Clay, marketing director of industry body Thinkbox, told The Guardian that it is "meaningless to sweep all the money spent on every aspect of online marketing into one big figure and celebrate it. Online marketing spend is made up of many things, including e-mail, classified ads, display ads (including online TV advertising) and, overwhelmingly, search marketing. They should be judged individually."
"Of course online encompasses a wide range of formats and approaches," commented Karin von Abrams, eMarketer senior analyst. "And the UK is a unique market, where—thanks to the BBC—a large portion of TV broadcasting is not ad-supported.
"But few interactive marketers will want to forgo the celebrations," Ms. von Abrams continued. "The UK has been especially hard-hit by the global recession, and the pace of recovery is still uncertain. Online advertising is rightly credited with saving the UK ad industry from meltdown in this difficult period. These Internet spending figures will also give advertisers renewed confidence, and encourage further investment in online strategies."

Pregnancy Complications, Infectious
ACOG Practice Bulletin on Management of Herpes in Pregnancy - Practice Guidelines
Urinary Tract Infections During Pregnancy - Article
ABSTRACT: Urinary tract infections are common during pregnancy, and the most common causative organism is Escherichia coli. Asymptomatic bacteriuria can lead to the development of cystitis or pyelonephritis. All pregnant women should be screened for bacteriuria and subsequently treated with antibiotics such as nitrofurantoin, sulfisoxazole or cephalexin. Ampicillin should no longer be used in the treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria because of high rates of resistance. Pyelonephritis can be a life-threatening illness, with increased risk of perinatal and neonatal morbidity. Recurrent infections are common during pregnancy and require prophylactic treatment. Pregnant women with urinary group B streptococcal infection should be treated and should receive intrapartum prophylactic therapy.
Treatment of HSV Infection in Late Pregnancy - FPIN's Clinical Inquiries
Prevention of Perinatal Group B Streptococcal Disease: Updated CDC Guideline - Article
ABSTRACT: Group B streptococcus is the leading cause of early-onset neonatal sepsis in the United States. Universal screening is recommended for pregnant women at 35 to 37 weeks' gestation. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently updated its guideline for the prevention of early-onset neonatal group B streptococcal disease. The new guideline contains six important changes. First, there is a recommendation to consider using sensitive nucleic acid amplification tests, rather than just routine cultures, for detection of group B streptococcus in rectal and vaginal specimens. Second, the colony count required to consider a urine specimen positive is at least 104 colony-forming units per mL. Third, the new guideline presents separate algorithms for management of preterm labor and preterm premature rupture of membranes, rather than a single algorithm for both conditions. Fourth, there are minor changes in the recommended dose of penicillin G for intrapartum chemoprophylaxis. Fifth, the guideline provides new recommendations about antibiotic regimens for women with penicillin allergy. Cefazolin is recommended for women with minor allergies. For those at serious risk of anaphylaxis, clindamycin is recommended if the organism is susceptible or if susceptibility is unknown, and vancomycin is recommended if there is clindamycin resistance. Finally, the new algorithm for secondary prevention of early-onset group B streptococcal disease in newborns should be applied to all infants, not only those at high risk of infection. The algorithm clarifies the extent of evaluation and duration of observation required for infants in different risk categories.

The duties and responsibilities of company directors for taxation purposes is a complex area and this is only a brief summary of some of the issues that should be considered. It is not intended to be a comprehensive guide.
Chargeable person
Section 950 TCA 1997 confirms that, in general, a director is a 'chargeable person' for income tax purposes. Consequently, a director is obliged to submit an Irish Income Tax Return each year, notwithstanding the fact that all of his/her income may have been taxed at source under the PAYE system.
There are some exceptions, for example non-proprietary directors are usually excluded from the obligation to submit an Income Tax Return. (A proprietary director is, in simple terms, a director who controls 15% or more of the company).
Incidentally, the Employee Tax Credit granted to employees is not available in respect of any salary paid by the company to a proprietary director (or, subject to certain exceptions, to salaries paid to any member of his family).
It should be noted that the usual late surcharge provisions apply if the director's Income Tax Return is not submitted by the due date. The surcharge will be either 5% or 10% of the director's income tax liability for that year before any deduction for PAYE deducted from his salary from the company. Therefore, it is not uncommon for a surcharge to arise to a director even though no income tax would have been payable on filing the return for that period.
Directors' PRSI
Unfortunately, there are no specific provisions under the Social Welfare Acts which deal with the insurability of company directors. Consequently, the PRSI treatment of directors has been established through practice over the years. It should be noted that there are no special rules for directors regarding levies and the standard rules are applied to everyone.
There is a difference between a director's fees and remuneration paid to him. A director's fees are paid to a director in respect of duties performed by him solely in his capacity as a director of the company. A director's fees will always be insurable under the S1 rate (in effect the fees will always be treated as self-employed income in the hands of the director).
If the director is an employee of the company (i.e. if he has a contract of service with the company) then the director's salary will normally be insurable under Class 'A' and the director will be treated as 'an employed contributor'.
However where the director has a controlling interest in the company he cannot be treated as 'an employed contributor' for PRSI purposes on any amounts he receives from the company, even if he receives a salary. All amounts paid to the director will be insurable under Class 'S', i.e. he will be treated as 'a self employed contributor'.
As there are no specific provisions for directors in the Social Welfare Acts, no definition of what constitutes a "controlling interest" exists. Obviously, if a director controls more than 50% of the voting shares of the company then he would be treated as having a controlling interest in the company. Each situation must be looked at individually and judged on its own merits.
A person is deemed to have a controlling interest in the company if, in effect, that person makes the decisions for the company as to what work it will carry out and the method it will use to carry out this work. For example, in a situation where the company is owned between a father, a mother and two children, each owning 25%, all four could be deemed to have a controlling interest in the company.
Contrast this with the situation where a company is owned by two unconnected parties, Director X – 49% and Director Y – 51%. As a 51% shareholder, Y will be treated as 'a self-employed contributor' and insurable under Class S. However X does not have a controlling interest and therefore will be insurable under Class A as 'an employed contributor'.
Where the director is treated as a self-employed contributor and insurable under Class S, Employers' PRSI is not applicable to his salary.
As you can see, establishing the correct PRSI class can be tricky and, if in doubt, it is advisable to apply to the 'Scope Section' of the Department of Social, Community & Family Affairs for clarification. Before making a decision, an officer from this section will review the circumstances thoroughly and will usually visit the company's premises.
Duties and responsibilities
Director's have many duties and obligations, especially where a director is also performing the duties of the company secretary. While this is primarily a company law issue, tax law also imposes various responsibilities and provides for various penalties to be levied where these duties are not met.
In particular, penalties can be imposed on the company secretary where the company fails to submit appropriate returns or submits a fraudulent or incorrect return. These penalties are in addition to any interest or penalties levied on the company.
Details to be provided by new companies
Section 882 TCA 1997 requires the company secretary of a new company to supply certain information to the Revenue Commissioners. Failure to comply can lead to the company being struck off and/or penalties can be imposed both on the company and the company secretary.
In general, this information must be submitted within 30 days of the company commencing to trade. However, sometimes the Revenue Commissioners will request this information (e.g. by issuing a Form 11F CRO). In addition, the Revenue Commissioners must be informed of any major change in the information previously provided within 30 days of such a change.
The information that must be provided includes the following:
- Name of the company.
- Address of both the company's registered office and, if different, its trading address.
- Name and address of company secretary.
- Date of commencement of the company's trade, profession or business.
- The nature of this trade, profession or business.
- The date to which accounts will be made up.
In addition to the above, further information may be requested by the Revenue Commissioners. It should also be noted that additional information must be provided by non-resident companies, including for example confirmation of where the company is tax resident.
In practice, the above information is provided by the company in a Form TR2 when registering for tax purposes. Occasionally, the Revenue Commissioners will issue a request for the above details in the form of a Form 11F CRO. This usually occurs where there is a period of time between the incorporation of a new company and the commencement of its trade because the Revenue Commissioners will have a record of the new company but will not have received the TR2.

The Beginnings of Károly Markó's Landscape Painting
European landscape painting had made signicificant progress by the early nineteenth century, whereas in the territories of the Habsburg Empire lying east of Vienna, more precisely in former Northern Hungary, pictures of quite rudimentary character, if not provincial compositions were still being produced. They tended to follow the taste as well as trying to meet the requirements of the nearest aristic centre, that is, Vienna. The practice of painting historical landscapes, mainly aiming at a picturesque view, was closely related to the so called topographic landscape and presented the places of emblematic events of national history, including its landscape and architectural elements. In the course of the first decades of the nineteenth century series of pictures depicting certain regions with their historical relics, castles and ruins in the first place, had become extremely popular and were subsequently published in albums with explanatory texts. Whereas in other regions of Hungary there hardly existed a school with relatively uniform sets of style in the given period, it should be noted that former Northern Hungary definitely had such a school, using, on the one hand, the topographic method, and on the other hand, the gouache technique, including its painstaking and detailed, yet rigid way of depiction. The most outstanding landscape painters of all were János Rombauer, János Jakab Müller, and József Czauczik who can be considered as the first examples for Károly Markó, the Elder. He probably was a student of Czauczik as well, and his first pictures should by all means have been made after the works of János Jakab Müller which he first copied and subsequently used as inspiration for his later activities. However, he gradually managed to surpass the style of his masters during the 1820s. Partly as a result of his studies undertaken in the Academy of Fine Arts of Vienna, and partly because of his artistic experiences of Vienna, Markó's painting had radically changed.

Defending champ Evans in prime form
Tour de France
When: Through July 22
Today's stage: Liege to Seraing, Belgium, plain, 123 miles
On the air: 5 a.m. today, NBCSN; 5 a.m. early Monday, NBCSN
Web: letour.fr
LIEGE, Belgium Fabian Cancellara gave some joy to his troubled RadioShack Nissan team as the 99th Tour de France began on Saturday, winning his fifth opening-day prologue at cycling's premier race in the same Belgian city where he edged Lance Armstrong eight years ago.
The 31-year-old Swiss rider proved he's positively dominant in time trials over the 4-mile race against the clock in Liege. This time, Cancellara outclassed another Tour title favorite: Bradley Wiggins, aiming to become the first Briton to win the Tour, was 7 seconds behind in second.
Cadel Evans embarked on his title defense in solid form, finishing 13th — but importantly, 10 seconds back of Wiggins, who many see as the main threat to the Australian's hopes of a repeat. Cancellara is unquestionably the world's best time-trial rider, but isn't considered a Tour contender because he often struggles in the mountains.
"What a great opening — again!" Cancellara said. "I did the most I could. It's not always easy. I always do the maximum ... It's a great feeling and this certainly takes some of the pressure off."
The Tour start offered a welcome return to racing — three weeks and 2,168 miles crisscrossing France, nosing into Switzerland, and scaling climbs in the Alps and Pyrenees before the July 22 finish on Paris' Champs-Elysees. Two other individual time trials await.
RadioShack, built on the remains of teams that Armstrong led to a record seven Tour victories, has faced a rough patch.
Its current leader, Andy Schleck, is staying home to nurse a spinal injury he sustained in a crash in the Criterium du Dauphine this month; team manager Johan Bruyneel — Armstrong's longtime mentor — is staying away to avoid being a distraction to the team and the race over a U.S. anti-doping case targeting him, Armstrong and four others.
In a further embarrassment, Enrico Carpani, a spokesman for cycling governing body UCI, said it received information from several RadioShack riders that they'd faced delays in receiving some salary payments. Team spokesman Philippe Maertens said he believed they had been paid, "and if not, there is a reason for it." He called it a "private issue."
Brushing aside the team's issues, Cancellara said he was focusing "on what I have to do — and that's riding my bike." He said the victory, which he dedicated to his pregnant wife, was doubly rewarding because he broke his collarbone in the Tour of Flanders in April and wasn't sure he'd be at his best for the Tour prologue.
Cancellara has now earned the leader's yellow jersey for 22 days in his career, equaling the marks of other Tour greats, including two-time winner Laurent Fignon of France, American triple champion Greg Lemond and Dutchman Joop Zoetemelk. All of Cancellara's prologue victories have been outside France: He beat Armstrong by two seconds in Liege in 2004, and also won in London in 2007, Monaco in 2009, and Rotterdam in 2010.
Wiggins, a three-time Olympic champion, said he believed going into the prologue that "there was a man who could beat me: There is always Fabian, he is the best in the world" when it comes to time trials.
"I finished second, so that's a good thing," added Wiggins. "Physically I felt fantastic. I didn't take any major risk because there were a lot of tricky sections."

An activity and literature based curriculum combining history, geography, and reading. That's what the cover of this new program states, and I have really enjoyed exploring what's inside. The first in an expected series of four books to cover all eras of history for the grammar stage, these lesson plans meet a strong need in the home school community right now. With the surge in popularity of classical education, Kathleen had been providing packages of great books to complement any program. Finally bowing to pressure to publish lesson plans, she has enlisted the help of an excellent writer in Cathy Whitfield and the collaboration has turned out something unique and valuable that I believe will be an asset to many. This set of lesson plans begins in prehistory, which not many programs currently tackle. Following the traditional classic stages, this volume covers the grammar stage, which is first to fourth grade. Designed as a first introduction to Ancient History, the author really wanted this first taste to be a delight. These plans are written specifically for those of you who aren't comfortable with, or don't have time to plan your own lessons. Incorporating many specific, excellent resources, these lessons and the accompanying book package take all the worry and leg work out of preparing your year. You will need to borrow or buy a few resources that are used extensively throughout the year. CHE provides these in resource pkgs. for you if you so choose. Cathy has spent untold hours researching, reading (yes, all the books), and preparing the lessons in this volume. I think what I am most excited about is the quality and variety of the lessons and the resources. Besides the main spines, the Usborne History of the World and the highly praised Story of the World by Susan Wise Bauer, Cathy and Kathleen have chosen awesome books, many of which I had never seen before. I have been Homeschooling a long time and I was beginning to believe that nothing fresh and new could be offered for this age group but I was wrong!
It is obvious that hours and hours of love have gone into this project. You will need the following books as well as the two main texts mentioned above.
1) History Pockets Ancient civilizations (Evan-Moor) - This book is awesome! Stuffed full of neat projects and activities covering all the ancient civilizations, students will be able to keep their treasures right in a pocket folder they create for each group. Totally self-contained with all the patterns and instructions, all you need add is paper and colors.
2) Modern Rhymes about Ancient Times - Poetry books with a twist, these will be fantastic for memorization, copy work, and pure enjoyment. Visually beautiful books and interesting, not insipid poetry. I even learned something new while reading these poems. I didn't know that the first sailors to map Africa were actually sent out by a Pharaoh. Did you? Great fun and variety in these books.
3) Ancient Egyptians and their Neighbors
4) Ancient Israelites and their Neighbors - These books are full of activities, recipes, maps, photos, etc. Very different from activity books I have seen before, the quality of these books is superb.
5) Life in Ancient Greece
6) Life in Ancient Rome - These are coloring books to enjoy while listening to Mom read aloud, or whenever! Highly detailed and intriguing pictures, these will be a fun accompaniment to your studies.
7) Ancient China Treasure Chest - This is the first time I have seen these high quality kits actually incorporated into the lesson time of any study. Cathy mentions that her kids actually played with theirs for the whole day once they began. Ancient China is one of the best of all the available Treasure Chests.
8) Blackline Maps from Knowledge Quest - You can use your own but these are far and away the best black line maps available. Recognized and loved by all, I purchased the CD that has all the black line masters on it and it was extremely reasonably priced. I have used it over and over again for many different projects and I can see where it will be invaluable during this study.
Besides the required resources, each lesson has extensive lists of reading and research books to pick and choose from. Many you will have in your homes already. Gorgeous books like 'Archaeologists Dig for Clues' by Kate Duke and the Eyewitness books will have your students very excited.
Just take the time to look ahead a lesson or two at a time. You will see that all the prep work (photocopying) has been pointed out at the start of each lesson. Next on the page you will find the Main Lesson points. Usually this will have you read specific pages from the Usborne text and the Story of the World, as well as completing or working on a History Pocket and then some map work. You will also be doing some copy work, maybe from poetry or from a current reading selection. You will be prompted to add pictures of the student's own creation, or coloring pages from the suggested books. And during all the readings and creating, you will be making an Ancient History Keepsake Notebook that you and your kids will love to share and enjoy.
Each lesson is designed to last a week or two, so don't rush through too quickly. Take your time and enjoy the journey. See what comes naturally from your discussion and narration times and carry on when you feel ready. Some topics will inspire more action and creativity than others so be sure to keep aware of their interest level and let that be your guide.
The other neat thing I liked about these plans is that in covering the span of years 1 through 4, the author has geared most of the activities to the older end of the scale. I liked this because the younger ones can enjoy and 'handle' the older activities with far more enthusiasm than the other way 'round. You can easily adapt activities to meet the ages of your family-I have had far more success with my kids in getting them involved if the project had a bit of substance and 'meat' to it. I was happy to see the author thinking the same way and gearing the activities accordingly. That's what home schooling is all about, in my opinion. Flexibility, Fun, and learning- a great combo! Oh, and don't forget to take pictures as you go. You can put them in your keepsake notebook as you progress.
You will notice that you jump around a bit in the Story of The World text. That's because the authors follow the chronology used in the Usborne text. I like the way the authors have ordered the topics. They flow well and make sense to me. This book does include a few lessons of 'prehistory'. Not specifically religious, the author suggests you may want to begin with a study of Creation, before beginning the lessons. The author has stayed within her area of expertise and leaves the religious teaching to those who are most qualified to do it. I like that.
I have really enjoyed this package. I found it well organized, delightfully refreshing, and comfortably paced. I am happy to recommend it and all the materials supplied by Classical Home Education-they are a quality group of people and this is quality stuff! Check out their website to see all the offerings, read my review of their fantastic timeline and watch for the brand new Classical Home Education Science program coming in August. I am going to be watching for more from CHE-I think you should too.

Surrounded by hundreds of Taliban fighters, the military says Staff Sgt. Ty Carter put down his weapon and carried one his own men to safety.
Carter was one of just a handful defending their Army outpost on that day in 2009, fewer than 60 American soldiers against almost 300 insurgents. At the end of the Battle of Kamdesh, called one of the most intense battles of the war in Afghanistan, eight Americans were dead and 22 were wounded. Carter was one of those 22, but disregarded his own injuries to continue to fight.
When he saw his fellow soldiers inside a Humvee, surrounded by enemy fire without adequate supplies to fire back, Carter reportedly made three trips to get supplies to those men.
One of the men inside, Spc. Stephan Mace, was mortally wounded. Carter cast his own weapon aside to carry Mace to safety.
For his heroism on that day, the former Fort Carson soldier will become only the fifth living recipient to be awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions in Iraq or Afghanistan. President Obama will award Carter in a ceremony Monday.
Though now at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington State, at the time of the battle, Carter was assigned to the Black Knight Troop of the 3rd Squadron, 61st Cavalry Regiment out of Fort Carson.
According to the White House, the Medal of Honor is awarded to members of the Armed Forces who distinguishes themselves conspicuously by gallantry above and beyond the call of duty while:
• engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States;
• engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force; or
• serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party.

By Mike Dash | Past Imperfect
The thieves who work by tunneling into houses and by murderous assaults are much tougher eggs, quite ready to kill or be killed in the course of their criminal activities. They necessarily use quite complex equipment
[The iron spike and an iron hand with claws] are used for the work of breaking through walls, and the crowbar for forcing open doors; then, once a breach is made, the burglar pokes a stick with a cloth on the end into the hole, because if he pokes his own head through the gap, [it] might well be the target for the staff, club or sword of the houseowner lurking on the other side.
The tortoise is employed thus. The burglar has with him a flint-stone and a candle about as big as a little finger. He lights the candle and sticks it on the tortoises back. The tortoise is then introduced through the breach into the house, and it crawls slowly around, thereby illuminating the house and its contents. The bag of sand is used by the burglar when he has made his breach in the wall. From this bag, he throws out handfuls of sand at intervals, and if no-one stirs within the house, he then enters it and steals from it; apparently the object of the sand is either to waken anyone within the house when it is thrown down, or else to make a tell-tale crushing noise should any of the occupants stir within it.

John & Ken (Los Angeles, KFI/640 AM)
For these two super-rated talkers to "go national" and be syndicated, they would have to clean house and start over. Everything they do is, as radio execs like to say, "local, local, local." They're all about L.A. and L.A. knows it. John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou are "activist" talk show hosts, sometimes to a fault, according to critics. It's likely they played a role in the recall of Gov. Gray Davis. They're also tough on illegal immigration and sex offenders.
Typical comment: John: "The truth is I don't trust juries. I don't trust 12 people who aren't smart enough to get out of jury duty. There's a lot of crazy people out there and many of them end up on juries."

The conversations that I and Ms. Heather Browne have are beyond amazing. We're so witty that we speak a near foreign language. Yeah, just kidding. Although she can flock to the nifty city of Denver, she remains much like myself – not close enough to a bustling coast overflowing with talented musicians and artists. But hey, us secluded primitive bloggers can hold our own, we ain't afraid of no coast!
Anyways, Heather writes great great stuff over at her blog (i.e. List of Best Protest Songs) I Am Fuel, You Are Friends. This time, Heather posted herself some awesomeness. She has a knack for The Boss and, well…who doesn't want some Springsteen covers?
You Want More Springsteen? @ I Am Fuel, You Are Friends
Great post my Coloradian Cohort. Now, get your ass to Lollapalooza and we'll have us a grand ole' time.
A song or two, in honor of those out west (but not on a coast)!

We have the great pleasure of announcing you some changes which should delight the players seeking fair play. Those changes are already operational :
- In case of default win, the player who withdraw from the battle lose all the progress made in his missions during the match.
- In case of too frequent default wins (for now : 3 times during the last 15 minutes), the player cannot play temporarily and receive a message from Kate (for now : a 5 minutes ban). This limit does not apply in ELO to let the top players keep withdrawing from matches to avoid leveling up their characters.
- The mission concerning KO's with one character are now valid if there is KO and the specified character won its round, which does not need to be the last round anymore. (so you can validate KO's with Ghumbo even if you make him win the first round, which will avoid playing in a predictable way).
- Missions will not be activated in the Events' rooms anymore (we do not mind if you make arrangements in guilds' rooms, but we are against the Events created only in this purpose).
- An optimization has been done which should reduce the lag in case of large population.

Workshop Update for May 31st, 2012
Today we made a video of the Get your Stuff Made presentation. We also worked on cleaning up the Bus Blaster v2/3/4 buffer logic.
Design of the badge for New York Maker Faire started in full. It has options for through-hole or various surface mount part sizes. The picture above is of the latest design.
Part Ninja firmware is moving along. Today we fixed an error with triac recognition. We also made an app with Processing, that retrieves the latest test information and copies it into the clipboard. It works even when the app is in the background, making it easy to post bug reports in the forum.This entry was posted in Workshop Update and tagged badge, Part Ninja, presentation, Workshop Update.
The link for the video is truncated…
In the meantime, looks like you can find it here:

When you peddle flesh in Baseball, a cardinal rule is that you never trade pitchers for everyday players at the ML level. We can't seem to get that concept through our heads. Bagwell/Anderson, Murphy/Gagne, Lowrie/Chacon, Reddick/Bailey are memorable in that we came out on the short end of everyone of those deals. We think that we're the smartest guys in the room. We run around with laptops in sling bags and talk the talk,WAR,BABIT,OBP,OPS . Truth be known.....We can't tell the difference between a baseball player and a piano. This crew, Ben's Bunch, is vastly overrated in talent evaluation. For arguments sake, let's say we wanted to move Aceves or Bailey or both. As both these guys will be on the 25 man roster, you can't expect Texas to give up anything of value on their 25 man roster, so look for value on the 40 man roster, or non roster prospects at AA level. 3 for 2 shouldn't be a problem......Play Aceves first, (2) players off the 40 man if possible. At least (1) pitcher and (1) position player or (2) pitchers. If they like Bailey better look for a position player off the 40 man first or settle for (2) prospects, one of which is a pitcher. Red flags on all DL appearances. Ben has to call Jon Daniels first to propose this deal. Start out with I 'd like to move Aceves because he's a pain in the azz in and out of the clubhouse. He'd be closer to his home in Mexico and likes the Burrito's in Texas better than the ones in Boston. If this is what you want .....go for it.

Not sure if anyone around here follows boxing much. Ive been into it for a about 6 years now. Actually have a good friend who is a Commissioner in Vegas so I went to quite a few fights while I lived there.
Anybody following this fight and have any thoughts? Both fantastic fighters so Im hoping for a great fight.
