I.R.S. Tightening Rules for Low-Income Tax Credit
By MARY WILLIAMS WALSH
Published: April 25, 2003
The Internal Revenue Service is planning to ask more than four million of the working poor who now claim a special tax credit to provide the most exhaustive proof of eligibility ever demanded of any class of taxpayers.
The I.R.S., trying to prevent errors and cheating, says it needs greater proof of eligibility months before people claim the credit on their tax returns because its efforts to find errors through audits after the fact have not worked. Treasury officials estimate that $6.5 billion to $10 billion is lost to improper payments each year.
But some tax experts criticize the higher burden of proof as unfair and a wasteful allocation of scarce I.R.S. enforcement dollars. They say that corporations, business owners, investors and partnerships deprive the government of many times what the working poor ever could -- through both illegal means and legal shelters -- yet these taxpayers face no demands to prove the validity of their claims in advance with certified records and sworn affidavits.
Others warn that the proposed I.R.S. rules will set a standard of proof so high that it will be difficult, and in some cases impossible, for honest taxpayers to meet it. As a result, some people entitled to the tax credit will no longer receive it. And those who do manage to file successful claims will almost certainly have to pay commercial tax preparers more for helping them with the extra paperwork.
''There is this double standard,'' said Robert Greenstein, executive director of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a research group in Washington financed mainly by large foundations. ''The losses are larger in other areas of the tax code, but somehow a different standard gets applied to this.''
Nina E. Olson, the I.R.S. taxpayer advocate, said in her report to Congress this year that two-thirds of audited claims for the tax credit were eventually approved.
The new rules apply to the earned-income tax credit, a provision enacted in 1975 and expanded several times. The credit has long had bipartisan support because it has lifted large numbers of people out of poverty without offering the sort of assistance often derided as handouts.
Instead of conventional welfare benefits, the earned-income tax credit provides an offset for the Social Security taxes low-income workers have already paid, along with a credit based on their earnings that is intended to give them an incentive to work. The credits vary according to income and family size, but no household with earned income above $34,692 is eligible.
The average tax credit, paid by the government by check, was $1,976 for households with children in 2001. That is less than the average food stamp benefit for households with children that year, $2,904. But the I.R.S.'s proposed rules would make it much harder to qualify for the tax credit than for food stamps.
Republicans and Democrats have both supported expanding the tax credit, but as the cost of the program has risen, many Republicans have been vehement in saying that the program is riddled with errors and fraud.
President Bush has praised the tax credit. But his administration has also complained about fraud, and the president has asked Congress for $100 million and 650 new employees to identify potentially erroneous claims before any money is paid out.
There is a similar effort with federally subsidized school lunches. Eric Bost, the under secretary of agriculture for food and nutrition, has increased efforts to weed out students who officials say are ineligible for free or subsidized school meals.
Asked about the I.R.S. proposal, the Treasury issued a statement saying it was committed to reducing ''the unacceptably high error rate'' and ''to get the benefit to those who are entitled but only to those that truly qualify.''
A Treasury official who insisted on not being identified said it was unfair to judge the size of the overpayment problem on the basis of just one year's tax credit, because the overpayments can continue year after year until each minor child listed on a false claim turns 18.
''It's a permanent thing,'' she said. ''The I.R.S. tends to take things that are permanent very seriously, and put a lot of resources into them.''
She added that screening out false claimants in advance could be characterized as a benefit to the poor, because such taxpayers would no longer have to have their claims audited, or scrounge for a way to pay back the money with interest if their claims are denied.
''These people didn't invest the money they got in the earned-income tax credit,'' she said. ''They went out and bought their kids sneakers.''
The new measures, which are expected to be published for public comment shortly, are scheduled to begin in July, when the first 45,000 taxpayers who fit into a ''high-error category'' will be asked to submit proof of their eligibility within six months. The program will accelerate to two million taxpayers in 2004. Eventually some four million ''high error'' claimants -- a fifth of the 19 million who now claim the tax credit -- will be required to submit advance proof of their eligibility.

Community Programs
SHAC in the community
SHAC works with local groups in order to assess ways for community members to get involved in maintaining and improving their health. This effort includes identifying unmet needs, partnering with groups to create sustainable programs that can help to inform the community of these problems, and providing support through materials, expertise, and volunteers.
SHAC has enjoyed great success in its partnerships with the local community. Current programs include:
- Amigas en Salud (previously Latina Wellness Initiative)
- Beyond Clinic Walls
Beyond Clinic Walls (BCW, formerly known as Mobile SHAC) aims to serve community members who have complex medical and/or social needs. Beyond Clinic Walls helps their clients to understand their often complicated health needs and to maintain contact with their health care providers. Focusing on children living with chronic illnesses that require special health care needs, interdisciplinary student teams make monthly visits to their client's home. During these visits, students engage the child in activities that promote health and well-being and connect the family to community resources to fulfill unmet needs.
- Bridge to Care
- Classroom to Community
- Get Covered Carolina
Get Covered Carolina works with under served and vulnerable patients in the area in order to help them understand the online insurance marketplace and their options for insurance coverage. Certified Application Counselors sit down directly with consumers and walk them thorough the online insurance marketplace website and answer any of their questions or concerns about the application process, insurance, or any other related questions.
- Health Fairs and Education
SHAC Outreach collaborates with community organizations by participating in local health fairs. Volunteers conduct BMI, glucose, and blood pressure screenings, discuss health care concerns and provide health education. SHAC Outreach is especially involved with health fairs aimed at the Latino Community, such as Fiesta del Pueblo in Raleigh, Fiesta de la Familia in Carrboro, and St. Thomas More Health Fair in Chapel Hill.
- Refugee Health Initiative
RHI is a student health organization that matches student volunteers with newly resettled refugees to help them establish a medical care home and provide them with basic health information. Volunteers are matched with one other student and a family to meet consistently for 5-8 sessions. During these sessions volunteers cover topics on nutrition, physical activity, health literacy, understanding the medical system and mental health.

Respond to Review of Vanilla Black
by AnnFromIllinois
Review: I don't understand the negative reviews -- this place is fantastic! The staff is wonderful and friendly. The food is a feast for the eyes and the palate. We ordered off the vegan menu and had several wonderful choices. We made reservations in advance and mentioned we were vegan. I don't think that's too much to ask. This is the type of place that you'd make reservations at anyways. We felt very welcome and had a long and lingering dinner that was just fabulous. Will definitely return and recommend to others.

CACC students unaffected by Pell Grant changesPublished 2:37pm Thursday, November 29, 2012
Changes in Pell Grant regulations are impacting students statewide, but students at Central Alabama Community College have been largely unaffected.
According to a press release from the Alabama Commission on Higher Education, more than 5,000 Alabama public higher education students lost Pell Grant eligibility in the fall of 2012 as a result of changes in the federal guidelines. Even more could be affected in 2013.
Loss of that financial aid has affected enrollment at community colleges across the state, according to the press release – not so at CACC, according to Cindy Entrekin, director of financial aid.
"I don't know that it really affected our enrollment," Entrekin said. "However, we did see an increase in students requesting loans for the summer term."
New regulations stipulate that students who attend full time during the fall and spring cannot receive Pell Grant assistance for the summer term.
"That did affect some of our students here," Entrekin said. "We did see a small decrease, but we were still able to offer assistance to students that wanted to come during the summer."
According to a fact sheet released by the Association of Community College Trustees, other changes in regulations included a lower baseline income required to qualify for zero expected family contribution status; Pell Grant elimination for students receiving 10 percent of the maximum award; and the elimination from the program of "ability-to-benefit" students – those who have not received a high school diploma or GED.
Entrekin said she would not pinpoint changes in the Pell Grant as being responsible for CACC's minimal decrease in enrollment.
Students also said they hadn't experienced any negative impact to their education from the changes.
"It's been the same over here," said Quientravious Edwards, business management. "As far as I know it hasn't changed."

To help you get some perspective on the decision and get an idea of what to expect from a given system and manufacturer, it helps to know a bit of the history of the brand and how current models within each lineup compare. While you generally can expect cameras in a given price range to have similar features, there are key differences between the camera families that may be the deciding factor for you.
|Canon's DSLRs can trace their roots to the company's EOS film cameras, the first of which was introduced in 1987. The EOS system was based around a new electronic lens mount, with an AF motor in each EF lens, while other manufacturers adapted their existing SLR systems to autofocus use, with AF motors in the camera body rather than the lens. Note that all major DSLR manufacturers now offer a number of lenses with onboard AF motors.
All EOS DSLRs feature the EOS electronic lens mount and can use all EOS EF lenses (but note that only APS-C-sensor EOS DSLRs can use EF-S lenses, which were designed specifically for the smaller APS-C-format sensors). Current EOS DSLRs feature 14-bit A/D conversion, which can reproduce 16,384 gradations of tone or color versus 4,096 gradations with 12-bit images. All current EOS DSLRs also feature Canon's self-cleaning sensor system to keep dust off the low-pass filter that covers the sensor assembly.
Canon DSLRs also feature CMOS sensors designed and produced by Canon, and all since the EOS 50D feature Canon's powerful DIGIC 4 image processor.
Canon EOS-1D Mark IVThe Mark IV is the newest member of Canon's EOS-1 series of all-out pro cameras. Its forte is speed—both shooting (10 fps at full 16.1-megapixel resolution) and ISO (normal range 100-12,800, expandable to 50-102,400). Image quality and AF performance are excellent.
All recent EOS DSLRs use the DIGIC 4 processor, but the Mark IV has two of them (as does the 7D). This provides operational speed and the processing power to employ highly effective noise reduction and image-processing algorithms. The Mark IV can do 1080 HD video at 24, 25 and 30 fps, and 720p HD video at 60 and 50 fps.

Twins pitcher really way off in his location -- of a hit
Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Phil Hughes was this close to snaring a liner that was hit nowhere near him Wednesday night.
During the bottom of the sixth inning, Kansas City Royals slugger Salvador Perez roped a double into left-center field, which was obvious to everyone at Kauffman Stadium except for Hughes.
The right-hander saw a completely different scenario go down as he flinched, stuck his glove out in an attempt to catch the ball that wasn't there and then turned around to see the hit that wasn't up the middle like he thought.
GIF from Twins Daily
One of his teammates in particular got a kick out of the play.
This is from last night and I'm still laughing. Phil *almost* caught it. (h/t @ParkerHageman ) https://t.co/7cr5oHIr2N— Glen Perkins (@glenperkins)
July 31, 2014
And for those out there who speculated that Hughes was attempting to trick the runner, well, you would be wrong.

IBM Announces Breakthrough with Combination of Security Intelligence and Big Data
Advanced attacks, widespread fraud and the pervasive use of social media, mobile and cloud computing are drastically altering the security landscape. As organizations increasingly need to manage Big Data, the way that corporate data needs to be protected is rapidly changing.
To aid in the detection of stealthy threats that can hide in the increasing mounds of data, IBM recently announced IBM Security Intelligence with Big Data, combining leading security intelligence with big data analytics capabilities for both external cyber security threats and internal risk detection and prevention. IBM Security Intelligence with Big Data provides a comprehensive approach that allows security analysts to extend their analysis well beyond typical security data and to hunt for malicious cyber activity.
This new solution combines real-time correlation for continuous insight, custom analytics across massive structured data (such as security device alerts, operating system logs, DNS transactions and network flows) and unstructured data (such as emails, social media content, full packet information and business transactions), and forensic capabilities for evidence gathering. The combination helps organizations address the most vexing security challenges, including advanced persistent threats, fraud and insider threats.

AbstractThe mitigation of mainlobe jamming is essential to missile defense radar performance. Applied Radar is currently investigating distributed aperture and adaptive processing architectures that promise a new generation of advanced radar performance. Our proposed program will research the application of these distributed aperture radar techniques to determine the mainlobe jammer suppression possible with a range of distributed aperture geometries and radar waveform bandwidths. The integrated space-time processing of coherent multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) radar promises substantial mainlobe jammer suppression as well as the improved spatial resolution needed for midcourse discrimination of reentry vehicle targets in the presence of adversary ECM and clutter. It is important to realize that the processing burden of these new methods is substantial and, therefore, our investigations into advanced algorithm performance will include computational sizing estimates for several distributed aperture system architectures. The transition of the developed techniques into advanced array applications such as CG-X is facilitated by the use of an Open System Architecture framework that is being developed by our prime contractor partner. The application of this work to the SPEAR MDA radar system technology demonstrator is facilitated by currently existing teaming relationships with several technology companies.

Helping Member States to counter terrorism
Combating terrorism is integral to the entire mandate of the United Nations. The UN Charter sets out the purposes of the Organization, which include the maintenance of international peace and security, to take collective measures to prevent threats to peace and suppress aggression and to promote human rights and economic development.
As an assault on the principles of law and order, human rights and the peaceful settlement of disputes, terrorism runs counter to the principles and purposes that define the United Nations. The United Nations has been taking concrete steps to address the threat of terrorism, helping Member States to counter this scourge. The recently adopted Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy further develops and strengthens those steps and brings them into a focused concrete plan of action.
Universal condemnation of terrorism
The United Nations serves as a unique global forum that provides the highest level of universal legitimacy for Member States to send a unified, clear, principled and immutable message that terrorism is unacceptable no matter who commits it and for whatever reason. Member States through the General Assembly and the Security Council, as well as the Secretary-General and other UN officials have been consistent in condemning all acts of terrorism. The United Nations through its members and officials have been sending a clear message that terrorist acts are unacceptable and can never be justified. The United Nations global counter-terrorism strategy reiterates this condemnation and its operational aspects rest on this principle. Through the consistent and systematic condemnation of terrorist acts, the United Nations aims to continuously undercut whatever appeal terrorism as a tactic my have for any group of people and clearly show that it is not an effective tool to address real or perceived grievances.
Creating the global legal foundations
One of the more powerful achievements of the United Nations system has been the establishment of a regime of international treaties and conventions. It is these international treaties that provide the legal framework for the suppression of terrorist acts and the pursuit of perpetrators of terrorism, and set out ways to limit illicit access to the tools terrorists need. UN anti-terrorism treaties that predate 11 September 2001 range from the UN International Civil Aviation Organization 1963 Convention on Offences and Certain Other Acts Committed on Board Aircraft, to the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism, drafted in 1999. Since 11 September 2001, Member States agreed on a new convention dealing with the threat of terrorists using nuclear materials. Most importantly, adherence to the existing 13 international treaties has increased dramatically since 2001. The United Nations is strongly promoting ratification and implementation of the existing conventions. Not only does the United Nations monitor implementation of the treaties by Member States but UN programmes such as the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) provide practical legal assistance for countries on how best to implement the provisions of the treaties into national legislation.
Addressing the conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism
There is wide agreement among countries that the fight against terrorism must include an approach that also looks at its long-term components. This agreement is reflected in the global counter-terrorism strategy which addresses the conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism. Its near universal membership and its global mandate make the United Nations a tool for Member States through which to address the complex, longer term aspects of terrorism. The United Nations places its counter-terrorism actions within its broader work framed by its overall efforts to promote peace, security, sustainable development, human rights and the rule of law. The multitude of offices, programmes and specialized agencies of the United Nations system works to address conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism including but not limited to prolonged unresolved conflicts, dehumanization of victims of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, lack of the rule of law and violations of human rights, ethnic, national and religious discrimination, political exclusion, socio-economic marginalization and lack of good governance.
Preventing terrorist acts
DENYING TERRORIST ACCESS TO WMDs
Since 2002 the International Atomic Energy Agency, (IAEA) has helped States to improve nuclear security inter alia through providing training to over 10,000 individuals, securing over 5,700 radioactive sources in nearly 40 States, upgrading the physical protection at over 100 sites in more than 30 States and providing 56 States with approximately 4,000 instruments for radiation detection activities.
The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) inventoried and inspected chemical agents in different countries. So far, more than 60 percent of the 71,194 metric tones of the declared stockpile of chemical agents have been destroyed. More than 45 %, of the 8.67 million chemical munitions and containers have also been obliterated.
Through action taken by the General Assembly and the Security Council, Member States are not only creating and strengthening the legal foundations of the fight against terrorism but also taking practical measures of cooperation to restrict terrorists in their actions by denying them the financial means for their actions, denying them their freedom to move about to commit their acts and denying them the weapons to use in committing terrorist acts. The International Convention for Suppression of Terrorist Financing requests all countries ratifying the convention to deny all financial possibilities to potential terrorists. Security Council resolution 1373 makes it mandatory for all states to eliminate the financing of terrorism, while resolution 1267 along with subsequent related resolutions freeze all the financial assets of Al Qaida and Taliban associates. Both those resolutions call for strict travel bans against potential terrorists. Subsequent Security Council resolutions also place Al Qaida and Taliban members under a strict arms embargo. The recently concluded International Convention for the Suppression of Nuclear Terrorism aims to prevent potential terrorists from acquiring nuclear weapons while resolution 1540 of the Security Council creates a mandatory set of measures for countries to implement in order to prevent terrorists from acquiring weapons of mass destruction.
Curbing Terrorist Financing
The Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee has imposed an asset freeze, travel ban, and arms embargo with respect to approximately 250 individuals and 90 entities associated with the Al-Qaida organization.
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime has organized specialized briefing and training for approximately 12,000 national criminal justice officials from 2003 to June 2011.
The international conventions and relevant Security Council resolutions create a restrictive environment not only for terrorists but also for states that may intend to support terrorism. All states must prevent terrorist groups from operating on their territory or using it as a training centre to prepare or launch an attack on another country. The Security Council has the means to impose strict punitive measures on states who disregard this obligation. In the past, Sudan, Libya and Afghanistan were targeted by sanctions for harboring and/or assisting terrorist groups.
Developing state capacity to counter terrorism
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime has assisted 168 countries in becoming parties to and implementing the universal instruments related to the prevention and suppression of international terrorism, and provided advice on counter-terrorism legislation to 81 countries as of June 2011.
The World Health Organization developed a global laboratory network to respond to outbreaks and biological threats.
The Counter-Terrorism Committee and its Executive Directorate (CTED) has made 213 referrals for technical assistance since June 2008; donors agreed to follow up on 92; and there were 42 successful deliveries. CTITF, CTED and UNODC/TPB have also formed partnerships with three Member States within the context of the Integrated Assistance for Countering Terrorism (I-ACT) initiative, to facilitate the provision of technical assistance to Member States in an integrated fashion.
While the major international conventions and Security Council resolutions create obligations for states, UN offices and agencies provide assistance for states to be better able to fulfill those obligations individually as well as collectively. This work aims at providing practical help to build state capacity to prevent terrorism. The Security Council's counter-terrorism bodies along with the Terrorism Prevention Branch of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime have been assisting countries in drafting appropriate national counter-terrorism legislation. The United Nations Development Programme assists Member States through its network of over 166 country offices with practical advice on strengthening the rule of law and promoting good governance.
The Department of Peacekeeping Operations assists countries emerging from conflicts with training of their national police force. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization promotes religious and cultural tolerance through its educational assistance work to Member States. The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank provides practical assistance to counter money laundering and terrorism-financing. The International Maritime Organization and the International Civil Aviation Organization work with state authorities to strengthen transport security for both people and goods. The work of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and the World Health Organization include strengthening state capacity to prevent terrorists from acquiring nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological materials and ensuring preparedness for an attack with such materials.
Defending human rights
The actions of the United Nations, whether they aim at denying terrorists the means to carry out an attack, deter states in assisting terrorists, or developing the capacities of states to combat terrorism, never are at the expense of human rights. In fact the United Nations has placed the protection of human rights - of the victims of terrorism - at the centre of its counter-terrorism work. Defending the human rights of all while countering terrorism is at the heart of the global counter-terrorism strategy. Member States of the Organization have given practical evidence of their commitment to defending human rights in the context of combating terrorism by establishing the post of a special human rights investigator whose job is precisely to ensure that human rights are not curtailed as countries take steps to counter terrorism.

I just am looking for info!
***Me(34) DH(34)DS(11) DS(7)***I love my boys!!!
I am wondering...... do you have to have them removed due to their location? It just seems so small to have to go through surgery. I quite a few, and was able to get pregnant. I am just wondering. Best of luck though with the procedure. I really hope it works out for you.

I had a submucosal fibroid removed via hysteroscopic myomectomy and I got pregnant 3 months after.
Good luck to you!
Oh, I see. Ok. I wish you the best of luck! It seems promising though from the comment prior to this one on your post.

Hi all-
Just wondering if anyone had any more input as I am scheduled for a hysterscopic myomectomy next month.

I am planning on having an abdominal myomectomy in June to remove two fibroids from my uterus. One is 2.5cm and the other is 4.5cm. One is attached to the outside of my uterus and the other is in the wall of my uterus. My doctor recommended an open surgery for me so she can ensure she removes these two fibroids completely and any others that may not have shown up on my ultrasounds. I'll go in for a pre-surgery physical in May and then schedule the surgery for June. She says it should only require a couple of days in the hospital. The way my doctor described the procedure and its benefits I feel confident this is the right decision for me. My fibroids have been causing problems with my bladder so I will be happy to have them out of there.

AbstractHigh noise environments increase the difficulty of face-to-face communications, with or without the use of hearing protection. Further, understanding the acoustic cues that are available in the environment for maintaining situational awareness becomes increasingly difficult as background noise levels increase. It is imperative to provide high-performing hearing protection devices for use in these high levels of noise. Therefore, methods are needed such that face-to-face communications and situational awareness can be restored to the user without causing further increases in the sound power reaching the outer ear. Combined autonomous level control for localization/talk-through and acoustic noise dosimetry provide the maximum amount of safe exposure coupled with situational awareness that can be offered. This Phase II effort will provide each of the advanced technologies on a variety of protector platforms including single hearing protection and double hearing protection, circumaural earcups and custom earplugs. These combined technologies will also provide the critical data for establishing a well structured hearing conservation program within the US Navy. A number of complimentary programs currently underway at ATI will benefit and enhance the parallel efforts anticipated by this Phase II proposal, including flight deck hearing protector development and flight deck head protector design and development.

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- United States Steel Corporation (NYSE: X) announced today that Patrick J. Mullarkey has been named plant manager – Fairfield Tubular Operations, part of United States Steel Tubular Products Inc., located near Birmingham, Ala. effective February 1, 2013. Mullarkey will succeed Dennis Quirk who has retired following 36 years of service. "Dennis has served our company well during times of critical change with his extensive and varied operations experiences in both our Tubular and Flat-Rolled organizations and has exhibited an extraordinary commitment to our safety program throughout his 36 year career. We wish him and his family all the best in his retirement," said Douglas R. Matthews, senior vice president – Tubular Operations. He also commented on Mullarkey's advancement, stating, "Pat's broad operations experience throughout the company, particularly in the welded pipe business, coupled with his strong leadership skills makes him an excellent addition to the U.

In 1994, he joined Raytheon Engineers & Constructors as the lead engineer for the blast furnace reline division and held that position until joining U. S. Steel in 2000. Mullarkey's first assignment with U. S. Steel was area manager-operating and maintenance, South Blast Furnaces at Gary Works in Gary, Ind. After advancing through a series of increasingly responsible managerial positions in steelmaking and the 84" Hot Mill, he was assigned to Gary Works' #14 Blast Furnace construction project in 2005. When the project was completed, Mullarkey transferred to U. S. Steel's Pittsburgh headquarters to serve as director-engineering project development. He was named vice president-technology at U. S. Steel Kosice (USSK) in the Slovak Republic in 2007 and became vice president-operations for USSK in March 2009 with responsibility for overseeing day-to-day operations of those facilities. He assumed his most recent position as president of United Spiral Pipe LLC in 2010. As plant manager – Fairfield Tubular Operations he will report to the general manager – Tubular Operations. A native of Chicago, Mullarkey graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1981 with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering.

Mixing equal parts of rock and Americana, Brandon Pfeiffer's six-song effort is pretty good. Falling somewhere along the lines of an indie rock version of Pete Yorn, Pfeiffer gets his groove on with the simple and catchy "Woven Wood" that brings to mind newcomers like Jake Stigers. Unfortunately, things tend to get into a rather sappy, melodic mode with "Missing You", which seems to lack some punch and falls off the rails rather quickly. Pfeiffer changes his mood from song to song, trying to do his best at the earnest, heart-worn-on-your-tattered-denim-jacket-sleeve singer-songwriter vibe for "Get Inspired", which works much better than the previous track by going in the vein of Howie Day. One annoying number is "Out to See", because it's damn good, but Pfeiffer sells the song much too short as it peters out after two minutes. Nothing here comes off as stellar or jaw-dropping, but Pfeiffer does have the chops to get tender tunes such as "Be the First to Die" easily across.

Perhaps hard to tell on a fixie, but do you also get a 'BRRRRRRRR' sensation from the wheels at about 36km/h? I still have that, very mysterious...
My folding bike photo essays www.dekter.net/
I'd be scared to put my Swift that close to the edge of the water.
More postcard pics...
Beautiful pics. I want it!
I'm planning on getting a Swift. What advice can I get on choosing between the Brooklyn Swift, aluminum, vs. the Eugene Swift, cromoly steel? I weigh 230 unclothed. Brooklyn said that he could get one to me in 3 weeks, Eugene 3 months.
I weigh 230 unclothed.
I meant to say that with clothes and gear I could be loading down the bike with 250+. I take it the Swift is one of the few, if not the only, folders that can handle that weight.
I'm 260 Lbs and the aluminum Xootr Swift has been handling the load without any problems so far. I changed the tires to 1.75" Schwalbe Marathon w/kevlar guard (No flats yet).
Any word on the steel Swifts yet? I've been thinking about getting the nexus 8 hub for my swift but chose to wait out for the steel one.
what size big apples can I fit on my swift? Does anyone have any pictures of a swift with the BA's mounted?
I recently found some handlebars that I can cut really short and still use a breaklever with some space between the grip and the lever. So I gradually cutted down the handlebars to my perfect lenght (38cm).
It rides delightful in heavy traffic, as the bike fits thru the smallest gaps.
And I finally got a verrrrry suitable break-lever that replaces the modern style avid speed dial, that never really fitted on this setup. It is a perfectly CNC milled "Real"-lever that I find very beautiful.
Ah yes and:
This is a clip that was broadcasted on austrian Television (sorry, the narration is german only). In some small sequences you can spot a crazy swift-folder rider (myself) in the middle of an alleycat race. That was fun!
I am thinking of upgrading the chainwheel/cranks/bottom bracket of my Swift but retaining the 8 speed SRAM derailleur. If anyone else has done this how did you get on? What BB make and length did you use and what make of chainwheel/crank did you fit and how did it affect the chainline etc. First I will need to either take a body building course or down some steroids to remove the old BB - is the thing welded in?!!
Having a hard time removing the bottom bracket cups? Remember, the right-hand cup (drive side) is reverse threaded!
You've got that backwards!
I've got it right, unless you're working on
an old bike that uses French or Italian b.b.
Check with Sheldon Brown - http://www.sheldonbrown.com/gloss_bo-z.html#bottom
also see - http://www.sheldonbrown.com/brandt/left.html
Maybe you're confusing b.b. & pedals - left pedals are reverse threaded.
"It can be a pain in some situations. I've seen a report of Loctite used on the BB. I had a seized BB on my Swift due to rust. I've had excellent results in removing the bottom bracket on my new Swift with the following method:
1.) Get a 25" breaker bar
2.) Get a BB socket
-Remove the wheels and place the frame (drive-side facing you) on a carpeted floor against a wall for support. Put your left foot on the chainstay just behind the seat tube, hold the socket in place with your left hand and push down on the breaker bar with your right hand. Put your weight into it, if need be, and the BB should easily give-way. Now turn the frame around and repeat, this time pulling up on the breaker bar.
The key here is torque, and a 25" breaker bar provides plenty of it."
The threads on the bottom bracket of my new Swift had some blue stuff on it, which I assume is loctite. My trusty breaker bar made quick and easy work of it.
Here's the 1/2" breaker bar:
Nashbar used to have a bottom bracket 1/2" drive socket. You might need to do some searching.
To complete the fixed gear conversion on my Swixt Xootr I ordered a Surly fixed/free 130mm rear hub (32h polished) from a good friend who works at a local IBS. I gave him a new alloy rim and asked him to build me a wheel. (He'd already built me a beautiful radially-spoked front wheel with matching rim and Surly front hub).
When I went to fit the new rear fixed wheel, I found that it had a 120mm spacing at the axle nut stops.
Naturally I took it back. He apologized and said he'd get me the 130mm hub and rebuild it.
A month later my wheel was ready again. On inspection it looked like the same width hub, with a fat shim added to space out the axle nut stops to 130mm.
My tire is now noticeably off center to the RH or drive side (the fat shim is on the LH side). I think my buddy just slapped in a shim spacer and forgot about wheel alignment. I asked him about this and he insists he re-ordered a new 130mm hub from Surly and reinstalled it into my wheel. He says he still has the old 120mm hub.... they didn't want it back.
So why didnt he lace up the rim centered on the axle stop width?
My question is this: does Surly use the same exact hub shell on the 120mm and 130mm fixed/free hubs? Is this fat spacer how they can offer both widths, or am I being fed a line of bull?
The only issues are the alignment of the rim and the lenght of the axle, nothing else. So I actually think that Surly DO use the same parts for 120mm and 130mm hubs, apart from the axle. It just wouldn't pay off to construct two different shells for the missing 5mm on each side, considering that there is still some space needed to adjust the cainline for different setups.
Some early track-hubs are spaced 110mm. They got respaced to later 120 track-standard and used for international competitions without any concern or troubles... So I wouldn't worry too much and simply adjust the rim to the center, smash the spare hub on ebay and ride your fine fixie...
EDIT: I actually ride a very vintage 110mm trackhub spaced to 120mm on my track-racer... it works fine and 120 to 130 is not much difference.
What Hurley said in response to my email just now...
"All of our hubs use completely different hub shells. That spacer is not
normal. Let me know if you have any other questions, that one sounds
like a bummer, sorry.
Thanks for asking,
Emily Richard
Surly Bikes"

Pic of the (prototype) new steel frame straight from Peter. He said to expect them in April or May. The penciled-in pivot shows a different means of securing the frame than current. Makes for a smaller fold to fit in a 62" Samsonite Oyster suitcase without disassembly.

Sparkys Roadside Barbecue has been serving delicious barbecue since 2010. Chef- proprietors, Kevin Kehoe and Hans Seitz are Sparky and Sparky, two chefs who love great barbecue and good times. They have a simple philosophy, to make the best barbecue out of the best ingredients and ask you to you take time out of your day, sit back and enjoy it.
1987 -"Kevin and Hans met in Miami while working under Chef Michael Moran at a restaurant called Whos in the Grove. This is where Sparky was born, a nickname that has endured through their twenty plus year friendship. Both trained chefs, Kevin at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) and several signature restaurants in New York City, Hans at his fathers landmark fine dining restaurant, The Arch Restaurant in Brewster, New York and the School of Hard Knocks, became interested (read fixated) in the method of cooking called barbecue one summer. They both started an academic study of barbecue (read obsessive preoccupation developing into the psychological disorder known as barbecue on the brain) which turned into Sparkys Roadside Barbecue.
Today - Sparkys Roadside Barbecue serves great barbecue without provenance other than Kevin and Hans backyard. Tipping their hats to several American styles of regional barbecue they still hold true to their own original rubs and seven different sauces. They believe that sauce should be an afterthought and that their barbecue is perfectly delicious straight out of the pit. They both ask that you, take time out of your day, come down to the restaurant, sit back and enjoy a precious few moments eating great barbecue.

What is your earliest memory involving food or wine?
Has to be when my Dad would take us to an Italian Restaurant in Huntington, Long Island called Broncato's. They had the most succulent clams EVER!! You know, with the Breadcrumbs all soggy with garlic, white wine and clam juice, sopping it all up with fresh crispy Italian rolls, fighting with my siblings to get the last of it. Pure Deliciousness!!
If you've participated in the Festival before, what is your favorite SOBEWFF memory to date?
All the controlled chaos is my favorite part. it's like in the kitchen on a Saturday night and the ticket machine is going crazy, Love it!!
If this is your first year participating in SOBEWFF, what are you most looking forward to?
Second time for us at this event and so grateful for the invitation. looking forward to seeing all the familiar faces.
If you could cook with anyone in the world, who would it be?

Hello fellow zoners. I was thinking that maybe I shouldn't do a mock this year mainly because a lot of the mocks already posted have all the players that I have placed on my Niner board. However, it is slow at work today and in the Zone so I figured to post it anyways. Enjoy!
**Note: no free agent signings or trades mainly because of the uncertainty of the CBA.
1st Round: Robert Quinn DE/OLB
The 49ers are in great position here at the 7 spot. We can go a number of directions whether it be corner (Peterson or Prince although Peterson should be off the board), pass rushing linebacker, or a defensive end. I went with Robert Quinn with the pick. He's got great size, unbelievable instincts, speed and strength. He should be able to play all 3 downs for us on defense. Questions about his character will be magnified during the combine, but the kid made a mistake and is actually a very quiet young man that was raised well by his parents. Trading down for Ryan Kerrigan is also an option.
2nd Round: Jimmy Smith CB
The Jimmy Smith-hype train is moving along and some draft analysts are starting to say that Smith is the 2nd best corner in the draft. This is upsetting as a Niner fan since Smith's availability for us in the 2nd could be in jeopardy. Jimmy is a physical corner that plays man coverage very well. He's also got good size and speed. He won't get a lot of INTs, but he'll compete for the ball on all downs.
3rd Round: Ricky Stanzi QB
This won't be a popular selection for some of you, but I go with Stanzi with our 3rd rounder. He's got prototypical size for a QB, mobile in the pocket, and showed the best evasive skills during the Senior Bowl week. He's also got great accuracy and a decent long ball. Probably the most pro-ready QB in the draft in terms of footwork and mechanics. Great leadership skills. He will need more work in making quicker progressions.
4th Round A: Orlando Franklin OT/OG
Orlando might be off the board by now but it all depends on how he does in the Combine and what position he fits to in the pros. In my mock, he falls and is projected as a guard for our team. Franklin's got great size and long arms. Has gotten some comparison to Leonard Davis.
4th Round B: Sione Fua NT
Fangio gets his NT that he's familiar with. Fua won't start right away especially if we franchise Aubrayo again, or if Ricky Jean-Francois continues to progress. However, Fua is a space eater and will stuff the run. They could find space for him as a DT to give Soap or Justin Smith a breather.
5th Round: Owen Marecic FB
In all honesty, I doubt that Marecic falls here. A lot of teams like those old school type of players. No nonsense, does whatever you want, and physical players. That is Owen Marecic. FB isn't a huge need for us and having Nate Byham playing the H-Back position could help, but we'd be lucky if we were able to get Owen here.
6th Round: Dion Lewis HB
Pipe dream here, but there are a lot of running backs in this draft with more of a prototypical size in the NFL which is why Lewis falls. Lewis is a workhorse type of back that had almost 1800 yards rushing two years ago. A down year this past season due to the level of talent in his offensive line, Lewis still showed his playmaking abilities.
6th Round: Richard Sherman CB/S
Another Stanford player selected by Harbaugh. Sherman got burned a couple times this past season and makes some bonehead plays, but the talent is there and he's got great size. He can also move to safety.
7th rounders: BPA
Alright, have at it

Armstrong fourth in Tour of California
Updated: February 16, 2009, 10:54 PM ETAssociated Press
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. -- Lance Armstrong took a spill when he got tangled with a motorcycle, and still moved up a spot in the overall standings Monday at the Tour of California after a rainy and crash-filled second stage.
Two-time defending champion Levi Leipheimer of Santa Rosa, Calif., became the third different race leader. He emerged from a chasing group on the final climb with about 17 miles left before finishing a close second to stage winner Thomas Peterson of North Bend, Wa.

Is VIX (Even More) Broken?
The "v"-shaped recovery in US equity indices is largely being ignored by bonds, JPY, and credit for now as VIX is in charge of the ramping efforts for now... until the last few minutes when it all went a bit pear-shaped...
VIX is broken-er...

bad quotes on CBOE side likely SPX related somewhere wide markets.
The VIX is just another attempt at luring folks away from GOLD- the only true barometer of market incompetence.
Oh yeah.. the CBOE is leaking right ..
CBOE problems here too, expect problems elewhere soon.
VIX fart, 'cuse me.
Nothing to see here. An algo just shot it's wad and is now enjoying a relaxing cigarette.
+1 ! This is on par with BTFICBMD!
Nothing a little electroshock therapy won't fix.
Private Pyle you had best square your ass away and start shitting me Tiffany cufflinks or I will definitely fuck you up!
Private Pyle: Sir, yes, sir.
Today victory lap for the Nasdaq, last day of market lev, tomorrow ugly reality returns. The vermin are exiting top HF pos... Red bear likes ES puts.
Kevin. The commods are gettin away from ya bud.
And the nat gas suppression is going to end with a pop.
Must be why the pallet of 'Stand Clear' signs are in the natty pits.
Yea CBOE problems alright. The "fudge it" button seems to be stuck. Someone must have jammed it with their middle finger

Dexter Fowler has hit a speed bump. Nothing major; he's still one of the National League's top rookies. But he's discovering that thriving in the majors is about making adjustments.
To that end, the Rockies outfielder has been working overtime in the cages, trying to get back in sync. Fowler didn't start two of the past three games.
"We're trying to firm up his angles to the path of the ball; trying to eliminate a little bit of that loop, the Nike swoosh," manager Clint Hurdle said.
Fowler, whose strong start earned him the starting job in center field, has cooled off this month.
On April 27 against the San Diego Padres, he tied a modern-day rookie record with five steals in one game.
Blog: All Things Rockies
Troy Renck posts analysis, notes and minutiae on this blog devoted to the Colorado Rockies.
Tulo update.
Troy Tulo- witzki, who tweaked his left quadriceps in Sunday's game, said Monday the leg is feeling "much better." Tulowitzki, who has been on a hot streak, said he expects to play tonight at Coors Field against the Houston Astros.
Helton sharp.
Todd Helton fielded three balls in a row around first Sunday, showing range and the ability to lay out to snare the ball. Helton, coming off back surgery, didn't attempt such plays in spring training.
"When I'm out there playing a game, I'm going to try to get to every ball I can," he said. "At this point, if you hurt it, you hurt it, but you have to play all out. If there are second thoughts, you aren't going to get to those balls."
CarGo report.
Carlos Gonzalez, part of the Matt Holliday trade with Oakland, continues to excel at Triple-A Colorado Springs. He's hitting .313, with three home runs and 31 RBIs.

natural food grade beeswax, we added a rich blend of Echinacea, Tea Tree Oil, Eucalyptus and Garlic. Echinacea is used as a natural antibiotic, Tea Tree Oil as a natural antiseptic, Eucalyptus as a natural purifier and Garlic as an additional natural antibiotic for a pleasant and effective experience.
Cone candles are used to clean ears and are believed to help with various ear disorders. These cone candles are sometimes referred to as ear candles and are believed to have originated in ancient Egypt. Because of the success of this technique it spread to Greece and China and is now practiced through-out the world.
100%: Beeswax, Echinacea, Tea Tree Oil, Eucalyptus, Garlic, Paraffin Wax, Muslin Cloth.
Two or more candles, a container of water, lighter or matches, a paper plate, moist towel, an assistant, scissors, pillow. Find a comfortable place to lie down making sure that all items are easily accessible.
Make an X in the plate large enough for the small end of the candle to fit through. Insert the small end of the candle through the plate. Make sure that the end has not pressed shut. Have the person lie on one side with the ear opening level. Put the damp towel over the shoulders and around the head leaving the ear exposed. Insert the small end of the candle snuggly into the ear, so no smoke will escape. Once this has been done the assistant can light the candle.
Have the assistant adjust the candle to where it feels most comfortable, but insure that no smoke is coming from the ear opening. You may cut the ash from the burning end to keep the air flow constant. As you cut the ash, balance it on the scissors and place it in the water. Let the candle burn to about 3 inches above the plate and then remove from the ear. Take the candle out of the plate and extinguish it in the water. Repeat this process on the other ear.
Please read all label information carefully on delivery and prior to use.

3M: Terrific Company, Good Stock
share repurchase program -- going from over 800 million shares outstanding at the end of 1998 to just 683 million in the most recent quarter end.Taken collectively -- strong operating results, consistent margins and a propensity to reward shareholders -- one would expect that an investor's performance results would mirror closely with the business results of the company. This is exactly what happened: 3M shareholders have enjoyed a compound annual return of 10%, which is slightly above the 8.8% growth rate in earnings per share. This positive difference can be explained by a consistent and increasing dividend with a relatively similar beginning and ending price-to-earnings ratio. A hypothetical $10,000 investment in 3M on 12/31/1998 would have grown to a total value of $40,736.05, without reinvesting dividends. Said differently, 3M shareholders have enjoyed total returns that were roughly 2.5 times the value that would have been achieved by investing in the S&P 500 over the same time period. Further, one would also have received about 3.2 times as much dividend income as the index. So in viewing the "business behind the stock," we can easily tell that 3M has been a solid company over the time period given. In addition, a shareholder would have seen return results that roughly tracked the company's business results over the long-term. However, it is paramount to consider how 3M looks today and what it might look like in the future.In addition, 3M has shown a great propensity to reward shareholders. The company has not only paid but also increased its dividend for 55 consecutive years -- that's over half a century, mind you. In the last decade, these increases have come in at a rate of about 6.6% per year and the company still pays out less than half of its earnings. Furthermore, 3M has done an excellent job of reducing common shares outstanding through its

Put the most powerful instrument on your board – the CPU – to work performing structural and functional diagnostics, debug routines and tests all in one pass.
Embedded in that CPU on your circuit board are the instruments that are critical for overcoming today's design challenges. Given the complexity of board designs and chips, you need access to this on-chip technology to diagnose, debug and test your designs. One of the tools that makes up the ScanWorks platform for embedded instruments is Processor-Controlled Test (PCT). It takes advantage of the CPU's debug port for access to the circuit board so it can perform board debug, device initialization, at-speed functional test with structural diagnostics and much more. PCT is just one of several ScanWorks tools which address every stage in a product's life cycle.
With embedded PCT, information about difficult-to-reproduce failures in the field can be captured for analysis.
With the PCT Development software, design or test engineers can debug prototypes using low-level control of the processor, as well as develop test and diagnostics tools for manufacturing and repair facilities.
The PCT Diagnostic & Repair software enables fast isolation of faults and the identification of their causes. Failed printed circuit boards coming off a manufacturing line or faulty product returned by a customer could be routed to a technician for diagnosis, repair and retest, transforming a liability into a revenue opportunity much sooner.
With the PCT Manufacturing software, test operators with minimal training can apply structural and functional tests to circuit boards on the assembly line. The return on investment is very fast due to the lower costs for hardware, software and labor. Re-use of tests developed during prototype stages also keeps engineering costs down.
The ScanWorks platform for embedded instruments is supported by a wide variety of hardware controllers and accessories with which engineers can connect ScanWorks to their unit under test (UUT). Hardware is available for development, production and repair environments. The test platform required for ScanWorks is either a standard PC or a system with a built-in (embedded) JTAG controller.

Excellent product already received in the past. Excellent packaging Received it on time
Silky Smooth and Full of Flavor
Posted by MissyK on Jun 04, 2014
This honey tastes delicious - it's full of unique flavor and it is soooo smooth and thick - very delicious, I just eat it by the spoon. I hadn't ordered it for awhile because of a few bad reviews but then I just wanted a new honey and went for it! So glad I did because its delicious and I have been missing out! When it comes to the smell, yes it has a farmy smell but that is because this honey is RAW and organic, it's not heated so it smells just like it's suppose to smell. The supermarket honey is cooked and all the natural aromas and properties are removed from the honey thru processing - that is exactly why I love Wedderspoon honeys - they are REAL - the aroma changes with the season as it's suppose to in nature depending on the season some smell farmy some don't depending on the season.

Urbane Rides: City Bike & Accessory Reviews
Charge Hob
2 / 9
Debonair in a coat of metal-flake paint accented with chrome trim, this bike offers a mixte frame with a dropped top tube that makes climbing aboard a snap and provides a solid platform for a rear rack. It's sporty and fun to ride, allowing you to nimbly dart around town. The three-speed hub is fine for flat rides, but you may want a smaller chainring if you frequently carry heavy loads or tackle big hills. Still, you're better off on level ground: The brake levers are beautiful but the calipers lack power. Add a kickstand and you're ready for a day on the town.

new aquarium
i just got a new 2 gallon aquarium. so far i have a chromis and a peppermint shrimp. im thinking about putting my chromis in my big bros tank (with 4 other chromis's) and getting 2 O.R.A. ocellaris clowns i dont know if they would do well in such a small tank any advice?????? thanks
I would say no to a clown. A clown should have at least 7 gallon (preferably 10+), and the Chromis should be fine. If you want to put the Chromis in your brother's tank, you could get a small goby (Clown, Green Banded, Neon Blue, etc).
the guy i buy my stuff from says it would be ok they have a shipment of clowns and its only $50 a pair is that good :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:
2g is too small to suit any fish. Sorry but I would suggest upgrading to at least 20g.
im gonna try to post some pics hope it works! :?
Tank is too small for any fish, I'm afraid.
no otherwise i wouldnt of bought it
at the fish store they have a two gallon with 2 clowns in it so HAHAHA :P
like lupin said, a 2gal is too small for fish. if you wanted you could keep snails and shrimp in it but not fish.
the pet stores put fish in small tanks like that for a few reasons:
1 they want to show off the tank and the fish but the fish are only in there for a few days before they are sold.
2 *most* pet stores just want to get the money so they do whatever they can to get you to buy things(sometimes this means making you believe you can fit 2-3 clownfish in a 2gal tank)
3 some pet stores that are just in it for the money dont know a lot about the proper conditions for the fish they are selling.
so please either rehome your fish or upgrade to a bigger tank.

Darkness... My body hurts! Or is it my brain? The explosion! I remember it now. Maybe I'm in a coma? Or even worst, I may be already dead... Everything is so confusing... Zombies, monsters and ghosts from the past are filling my mind... Oh God, so many memories mixed with my dreams! I can't even distinguish them anymore. What if my entire life was just a nightmare? But it felt so real... Wait, what's that sweet voice? Sounds like a nurse! THAT is part of reality, I am sure. Now if I could just concentrate on this voice and try to wake up...
One of two of my all time favorite Half-Life SP mods (the other being Ross Smith's Timeline series). The ambiance, detail and overall fun of this mod make it still stand out 10 years later.
I'll never forget playing this in the dark one night and actually getting shivers hearing all the ambient zombie sounds while running around the dark sewers.
The story is a lot of fun and the "You are what I eat" song at the end of TH3 was awesome. Highly recommend playing.
Great mod, only I think they could have done without the skeletons that fire the same electricity attack as the vortiguants (Islave) from hl do. It's just... bad. First of all it sounds annoying, they are really easy to kill, they look terrible compared to the rest of the monsters, they don't make sense... why do they fire the electricity stuff? Why are they skeletons? The mod should have sticked with just Zombies, Zombie guards and Zombie dogs. And perhaps one zombie frankenstein and a couple of Zombie buffalo. Same goes for the bullsquid & headcrab replacement which just look weird and should have been removed. Aside from that I think the mod had some nice new weapons, new objects, unfamiliar locations, some good ideas like the audio tapes, long length for a mod (I think its longer then Opposing Force!), but a poor storyline and 3 bad/out of place enemies.
(the crawling decapitated hands was a nice addition- a little reference to Adam's Family/Evil Dead 2)
this mod is cool i like
Love this mod!
amazing mod lots of fun
A very scary and action typed mod when i first played i shat my pants and then when i completed it i downloaded the HD pack for it and i shat myself again! D: So all in all a very good mod if you like being scared.
Simply brilliant.
Fighting off hordes with plenty of cool weapons never gets old, mixed with a corny story straight out of the 50's, with funny dialogue and some very atmospheric and even unsettling environments, plus a lengthy campaign and even a co-op feature, They Hunger is the best Half-life mod I have ever played. :)
The mod is look like a Movie of terror of the 70' or 80'.
Great mod and atmosphere, true to the original zombie lore and very survival oriented.
Its Good Mod !
