My Morning Jacket has been riding a reputation as a world-class live band for almost half a decade now. At the end of October, though, they did something even the most accomplished bands aren't crazy enough to attempt: they performed every last song in their catalog.
Most bands, especially those with extensive studio discographies, have several songs that they rarely or never play live. I long wondered for instance, why The Stones never play "Mother's Little Helper" live, until I came across an interview with Charlie Watts explaining that "It's never been any good. We used to try it live but it's a bloody hard record to play." In the same set of interviews, Jagger explained why they only play four songs off Exile on Main Street, their most critically acclaimed album: "when you start to play the other nineteen, you can't, or they don't work, or nobody likes them."
Over a five-night stand at New York City's Terminal 5, though, My Morning Jacket performed each of their five studio albums start to finish. Opening night, in the midst of working through their first album, Tennessee Fire, lead singer Jim James confessed to the crowd just how it felt to try something so daunting.
"Man," he vented, "this is so nerve-wracking. Half of these songs we've never played live before. We're just trying not to screw up, so, bear with us."
I was lucky enough to attend two of the five shows, and can tell you first hand that very little was screwed up. If anything, they were two of the tightest, well-rehearsed performances the band has ever put together. In both performance and grandiosity, it was epic even by MMJ standards—and that's saying something. Jim did his self-deprecating best to play it down, but that five-day stand was no goof. It was an attempt to do something indelible.
The bigger question, and the one I wrestled with for most of the summer, was why the big project? Why now?
One very likely reason resided at the back center of Terminal 5's long rectangular floor area—an extensive, stand-alone soundboard setup manned by a cool-headed producer, which was not T5's standard setup, and was clearly special for the shows. In addition, the space was peppered with all sorts of extra audio and visual recording equipment. At the very least, we can expect some sort of release of this live material in the next twelve months. At best, perhaps a full live-box set and documentary.
If anything, though, that just makes the question of "why?" a bigger one. When MMJ announced the New York shows mid-summer, I was immediately struck by a combination of facts:
1. I could find no rumors of a new album in the works.
2. Jim James and guitarist Carl Broemel were heavily involved in side/solo projects.
3. The set lists from all 2010 shows were broad ranging, more like live anthologies, including the Chicago show I attended in August, which Jim treated like a fan tribute.
4. The band now planned to perform an actual live anthology over five days, and then had no shows scheduled after.
I didn't take a conspiracy theorist to conclude that something was up. This was end of an era behavior from a band that could, with zero irony, call its last decade an era. What arenas were left to fill? What musical whims were left to indulge after Z and Evil Urges? And what better cherry on top of one of the decade's great live careers than to blow out their entire discography on one New York City stage, record it for posterity, and ride the reverb into the rock annals? At the very least, it reeked of "hiatus."
Fortunately, as the hype built up around big project, the band finally started to tip its hand about work on a new album.
Apparently, they are indeed working on a new album, one they hope to release in Spring 2011. It does seem though, from statements like "going back to our roots" and "laid back" that the band is making a conscious break from the super-sized trajectory they've taken over the last few years. And if statements like that don't make it clear they're not interested in making big singles again, the fact they're recording it in a Louisville church should erase all doubt. After seeing their first two albums performed live, though, I can't imagine better news.

Subway's fresh baked bread contains a chemical that is also used in making foam yoga mats and the rubber soles for shoes. Subway is in the process of removing this chemical today from it's bread recipe following a protest against its use. The chemical is banned in a few countries, but yet the FDA allows it for an ingredient in food in the U.S., according to ABC News on Feb. 5.
The chemical called azodicarbonamide is used to mix air in with the foam of a yoga mat and give it elasticity. The chemical does pretty much the same thing for bread. You have to admit, it is subway's bread that makes that sandwich like no other!
Subway was under protest by a lone food blogger who got enough signatures on a petition to make Subway take notice. The petition asked that the restaurant franchise remove azodicarbonamide from their bread.
While Subway claims it had started the process of eliminating the chemical before the protest of the petition came to be, the blogger, Vani Hari, is taking credit for this. She believes it was her petition that got Subway address the problem.
Hari said she started investigating all the "healthy claims" about the Subway menu options coming from all over, including Michelle Obama, who sings the praises of Subway as a healthy choice for kids.
Subway also carries the American Heart Association logo, which surprised this blogger. Hari's "Food Babe" blog was able to get 50,000 others to take notice about this unhealthy additive and sign the online petition against Subway using this chemical.
The chemical which is banned in Australia and New Zealand is legal in the U.S. and Canada. She wants to remind folks that the chemical is still in that bread and suggests Subway fans wait until the chemical is removed before ordering up a Subway sandwich.

CREW: Rep. Weiner Must Resign
Washington, D.C. – In light of the new information revealed over the weekend regarding Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY), Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) Executive Director Melanie Sloan released the following statement:
"It is almost inconceivable that we could learn anything worse about Rep. Weiner than we had discovered last week, but now we have. The use of social media to engage in numerous sexual exchanges and lying about it when caught was bad enough. But inappropriate contact with a teenage girl and sexually explicit photographs sent across the Internet are a new low."
"While Rep. Weiner may not have violated any federal laws or House rules, he clearly lacks the requisite character and judgment to remain in Congress. The people of New York's 9th congressional district deserve a representative who can focus on their issues, rather than on his own considerable personal problems. Rep. Weiner should resign immediately."
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) is a non-profit legal watchdog group dedicated to holding public officials accountable for their actions. For more information, please visit www.citizensforethics.org or contact Jordan Libowitz at 202.408.5565 or email@example.com.

Set Mom Blogging Goals
Successful bloggers set short- and long-term goals to direct their actions. The most effective way to approach goal-setting is to decide where you want to be in three to five years and work backward from there to where you are right now. Filling in those stages is how you create your blogging business plan.
For example, say you eventually want to have a thriving social media consulting business in which you speak professionally and also write books on marketing to women. You want to reach this level of achievement in three years' time.
Decide on the things you need to do to get there, being specific about the kind of work you have to do to achieve your end goal. Then start from the end goal and create milestones, working from the future back to the present and creating quantifiable action steps, like this:
End of three years: ten regular weekly clients, one speaking engagement every quarter, and first book completed.
My blog will have 15,000 monthly visitors.
My mailing list will have 5,000 subscribers.
I will have written articles for five prominent publications.
I will have created five downloadable e-products that potential clients can purchase without hiring me directly.
End of two years: five regular weekly clients, and book proposal written.
My blog will have 10,000 monthly visitors.
My mailing list will have 2,500 subscribers.
I will have written articles for two prominent publications.
I will have created three downloadable e-products that potential clients can purchase without hiring me directly.
End of one and a half years: three regular weekly clients.
My blog will have 7,000 monthly visitors.
My mailing list will have 1,750 subscribers.
I will have applied to write for five prominent publications.
I will have created two downloadable e-products that potential clients can purchase without hiring me directly.
End of one year: one regular weekly client.
I will have completed ten short-term projects with clients who could turn into regular weekly clients.
My mailing list will have 1,200 subscribers.
I will have chosen the five publications that I want to apply to write for.
I will have created one downloadable e-product that potential clients can purchase without hiring me directly.
At this point, imagine you've been at this process for six months, and have worked backward to the present. Here's what the short-term here-and-now entries look like:
End of six months: hired for two short-term client projects.
I have tested my mailing list subscription form, in several placements on my blog template, to determine which brings in the most subscribers.
I have created one free e-product that is only available to mailing list subscribers.
My mailing list has 500 subscribers.
I have learned basic search engine optimization techniques and have written 20 blog posts that my potential clients would find useful.
End of three months: Ready to find clients.
My professional blog template is completed.
My mailing list is set up and ready to add subscribers.
My e-mail newsletter is formatted and ready to send.
I have created a free download to attract subscribers to my blog and mailing list.
My Services page has specific service packages that potential clients can hire me for.
This month:
I will get my Facebook page and business Twitter accounts set up.
I will review various e-mail marketing vendors and choose one.
I will hire a designer to customize my blog template, or I will learn enough about template design to customize it myself.
Of course, this list would be completely different for someone who wants to build a blog that earns money from advertising. Instead of mailing list objectives and developing e-products, this blogger will set goals for number of posts written, creating a media kit, number of regular monthly advertisers, and increasing number of page views per visitor.
Setting goals and working out the action steps by walking backwards will help you to determine whether what you want to accomplish is realistic or not. It is easy to get distracted by fun new projects, but if you evaluate them in the context of how they'll help you get to your end goal, it will be easier to decide whether each one is a worthy project to pursue.

This is my first photo book, which is an effort to share some of the scenic splendor of the mountains and the rugged fjord-indented coasts of Alaska including the largest group of glaciers in the world. The rugged natural beauty of this state is one of the last unspoiled areas in the country. Majestic mountain vistas are visible in every direction and are only surpassed by the extraordinary views available along the thousands of miles of shorelines and fjords. This book was designed with minimal text, which I simply refer to as an eye candy novel. I hope you enjoy the views as much as I did.

The traveling minister couple who dumped a Dachshund off at a shelter with a note saying that they can't care for it anymore and to put it down will not get the dog returned to them.
The decision was described as a mutual agreement between the couple and the Leave No Paws Behind volunteers who have saved little Otto and many other dogs from being exterminated in shelters.
You can meet some of these brave rescuers in person at a fundraiser:
The Third Annual Dog Day Afternoon from 1 to 4 p.m. on May 18 at Peterson Park, 14142 E. Sylvan Glen Road, Diamond Bar with Frisbee-catching dogs, booths, giveaways and more.
Many people from across the country were torn up by the 13-and-a-half-year-old Dachshund left tied to a basket with a sad note, asking the shelter to put the dog down.
Read the full story here: Dachshund left by elderly couple will get reunited, with help from charity
At first, it looked like the dog, who was nicknamed Harley, but was soon found to be named "Otto," was going to be reunited with the senior citizen couple who claimed poverty. They are traveling ministers and they could no longer care for the dog and were out of the state, but heard about the public outcry to help find the owners and return the dog after Leave No Paws Behind paid for a health exam and vet bills.
But Toby Wisneski, founder of Leave No Paws Behind, who talked at length with the couple, came to a mutual decision to not return the dog to the owners that gave him up. It was a mutual decision because the dog is fragile, and the couple is constantly on the road and traveling. However, a lot of people online condemned the couple and were without sympathy toward them.
The couple has been shy with press and Wisneski said, "People can be so cruel. It's horrible what a handful of people can do on social media, they are afraid and I cannot blame them."
The couple had a photo album of Otto from the time he was a puppy. "They love him very much," Wisneski said. They will be looking for a local home to take Otto permanently.
The latest from Toby is that:
"Otto is doing great and getting stronger and more comfortable with each passing day. As we have stated many, many times, and per our update the other day, he will continue to remain with Leave No Paws Behind, Inc. under our care where all his medical and basic needs will be tended to for the rest of his little life. As we have always stated, our first and foremost priority is always the safety and well being of our animals. Our decision for Otto was solely based on what we feel is best for Otto and his on going care."
Dachshunds can live to be ripe old ages, as old as 18 to 20, and Toby says, "At 13 1/2 years old, Otto needs to spend his twilight years in a quiet, peaceful and loving home, resting on a comfy bed and basking in the warmth of the California sun with no worries or cares. This little old man has been through a lot in the last few weeks and while he continues to improve, he is in no way in any condition to travel about and needs to remain close to us for continuous care."
Their decision is final, and in the best interest of Otto. See some of the other rescues and help out with the cause below . . . You can email Toby at email@example.com.
Little Otto
This unique rescue group, Leave No Paws Behind, is the voice for those who cannot speak. They help all breeds, all foster based rescue, specializing in seniors, and animals with special medical needs. When possible they step up to help save the lives of those that are in most danger of being left behind to die on a cold shelter floor, like they did to Otto.
Relying solely on public donations
Toby adds, "We are doing for our four legged friends what they cannot do for themselves. We are their voice and we we will continue saving lives one set of paws at a time making every effort to assure we Leave No Paws Behind."
LNPB relies solely on public donations, no amount is to small and all amounts benefit the health and well being of abused and abandoned animals and are tax deductible. EIN# 45-2717681
Leave No Paws Behind is a 501 (c) 3 non profit corporation governed by the laws of the State of California. LNPB provides long term hospice care, comfort, love and a safe haven for the aged and terminally ill.
Preachers won't get Otto back
Rev. Chris Gonzales, 62, and his wife, Christine, 59, were the traveling ministers who abandoned the 13-year-old dog. They said they have have been harassed and threatened since they were identified initially as the ones who left the dog at the shelter.
In order to get them back, they had to fill out a standard foster application, undergo a background check and home visit. "They are disabled, they live in a modest home and are considered seniors by almost any standard," Wisneski explained.
Taking care of medical woes
Upon rescue, the agency immediately has all of our rescues vetted and those with minor and treatable medical needs and disabilities per diagnosis from the doctor's are then placed in the loving care of fosters until they are adopted. LNPB's more serious medically challenged rescues such as seniors who may suffer with terminal and/or severe mobility medical conditions as diagnosed by the veterinarians are placed in loving hospice/long term foster care for as long as needed.
Help save a dog
Snoopy, a min pin mix , 12-13 years old and blind, is in need of a foster with a yard and room for this lil fella to roam around and explore! If you are located in the So Ca area and can help them continue to help him, please e mail email@example.com
Helping them cross the rainbow bridge
From time to time, and when deemed necessary by the vets due to severe pain and suffering, we have the sad task of helping our beloved animals cross the rainbow bridge. Toby says, "We are with them, holding and loving them in the end as they peacefully pass quietly in our arms. We do not hesitate to pull the terminally ill or the ones the shelter will inevitably PTS due to sickness and inability to walk as we cannot bear having them die alone, frightened and sadly wondering."
A Mission Statement
"We will leave No Paws Behind as we reach across America to make a difference in the lives of those who devote their time to loving and caring for animals in need. We are the voice for those who cannot speak and we are doing for them what they cannot do for themselves. In honor of all our four legged canine and feline friends we are barking across America and helping animals everywhere one paw at a time."
Look at this face! Snoopy, 12-13 years old and blind, is in need of a foster with a yard and room for this little fella to roam around and explore! If you are located in the So Ca area, please e mail email@example.com
Look at this face!!!! Look who is bright and alert this morning! Our little Tulip is doing great after her major surgery yesterday! We all remain cautiously optimistic for a complete recovery! This darling little one will be in need of a local foster in the Los Angeles, Ca area. Please e mail firstname.lastname@example.com. Please help us continue to help her! — at East Valley Veterinary Clinic/Mark Hohne DVM.
How does it work?
The agency will never board a rescued animal. Upon rescue, the dogs are taken to a vet and then placed in short-term foster homes until they are adopted by responsible owners.
The more serious medically challenged rescues such as seniors who may suffer with terminal and/or severe mobility medical conditions as diagnosed by the doctors, are placed in loving hospice/long term foster care for as long as needed.
Donations help
Leave No Paws Behind needs your help!!!! Vet bills are continually challenging our medical slush fund because of the type of urgent care that is often necessary for the senior dogs and special need rescues, many of which have been severely neglected.
Please help give the gift of life and the promise of tomorrow to these very special animals. No amount is to small and all amounts help save lives and are tax deductible. Donate Now.

Numerous follow-up and follow-along studies of youth with disabilities in areas such as employment, living arrangements, post-secondary education and training, and community participation have shown that these individuals do not succeed as well as young adults when compared to the general population. In order to improve these outcomes for youth with disabilities, transition services requirements were included in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA P.L. 101-476). The basic purpose of including transition components in the legislation is to better prepare students with disabilities to gain access to the supports and services necessary to reach their desired outcomes and become as independent as possible. The transition planning process should promote successful movement from school to post-secondary education and training, employment, independent living, and community participation based on students' preferences, interests and abilities.
The concept of transition is simple. First help students and their families think about their life after high school and identify desired outcomes and then to design their school and community experiences to ensure that the student gains the skills and connection necessary to achieve those outcomes. The transition services requirements of IDEA provide opportunities to:
- Help students and families think about the future and consider what they want to do after high school.
- Plan how to make the high school experience most relevant to the student's desired outcomes, and
- Help students and families make connection to supports and services that they make need after high school.
Although the concept of transition is simple, the process of planning and providing transition services based on individual student needs may be challenging in our complicated systems of education with limited resources. This toolkit provides information and tools necessary in creating a comprehensive and individualized transition process.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Thanks to a collection of Bluegrass barrels, No. 21 Kentucky (23-8, 5-4 SEC) swept the Mississippi State softball team (20-9, 1-5 SEC) in a Saturday afternoon doubleheader at the UK Softball Complex. The Wildcats won game one, 3-2, before picking up a 7-0 victory in game two, extending their winning streak against the Bulldogs in Lexington to nine games.
Five of the six games in the series the last two seasons have been one-run games. While MSU manufactured runs last season in Starkville en route to a sweep of UK, the Wildcats swept State this weekend by scoring 11 of their 15 runs courtesy of seven long balls.
The second game of the series went much like the first game, with the Bulldogs losing by a run thanks to a pair of Big Blue blasts. Kentucky cleanup hitter Griffin Joiner hit a two-run home run in the first and third baseman Nikki Sagermann hit the game-winning solo shot in the fourth inning for the narrow 3-2 victory against the Maroon and White. The one-run victory was the fifth-straight game in the series decided by a single run.
Junior right-hander Alison Owen tossed her 10th complete game of the season for State, giving up three runs on two home runs with three additional hits. The Newnan, Ga., native's record dropped to 10-4 after 6.0 innings of work in her 14th starting assignment on the season. Wildcats' righty Lauren Cumbess improved to 6-2 after yielding two runs on five hits.
At the plate, junior catcher Logan Foulks had a team-high two hits, but it was the 6-7 combo of redshirt sophomore Briana Bell and redshirt junior Erin Nesbit that both went 1-for-3 with an RBI. Senior Shelby Fisher, fresh off her career-high four hits Friday, also finished 1-for-3 in game one.
The home team jumped on the visitors early in the first inning, thanks to a two-out rally. After two-straight popups, Friday's hero Alice O'Brien hit a worm burner up the middle for a single. Joiner stepped up to the dish next and on the first pitch homered over the wall in left for an early 2-0 lead.
Bouncing back in the top of the second, the Bulldogs cut the deficit in half thanks to an RBI double to the gap in right by Bell, who knocked in senior left fielder Jessica Cooley.
Following a Sagermann's second homer of the 2013 campaign, the teams played scoreless softball in the fifth and sixth frames before MSU attempted some late-inning magic. Foulks started the last stanza with a double off the wall in right, and was immediately pinch ran for by freshman Kayla Winkfield. The Bulldogs flied out twice and were down to their last out before Nesbit plated Winkfield with a single through the gap in left. With the tying run at first and the go-ahead run on the plate, Fisher grounded out to third in a bang-bang play at first base.
Kentucky first baseman Maisie Steed hit two home runs in the first three innings and the Wildcats never looked back, downing MSU by a margin of 7-0 to conclude the doubleheader and weekend sweep.
Senior left-hander Stephanie Becker (6-3) earned the start and gave up six runs (five earned) on five hits. Kentucky's Kelsey Nunley (14-3) shut out the Bulldogs for the second-straight day, giving up two hits and a walk to go along with seven strikeouts in a complete-game victory.
Cooley (1-for-3) and Fisher (1-for-3) mustered the only hits for the Maroon and White.
Steed, who was 0-for-8 on the weekend entering the final game of the series, hit a solo shot in the first frame, and a two-run homer in the third to give UK an early 3-0 lead. The Wildcats added to the lead with another two-run round tripper thanks to Emily Jolly in the fourth inning.
Kentucky tacked on two more runs in the bottom of the sixth to give the game its final score of 7-0.
Starkville's Team is back in action Tuesday as it travels to Birmingham, Ala., for a 6 p.m. CT first pitch at UAB. Live audio streaming of the games will be available online to HailStateTV subscribers (www.HailState.com/hstvlive), as the Bulldogs look to extend their 13-game winning streak against non-conference opponents.

No. 19 Texas Tech Ties School Record in 8-0 Win Over Huskies
Feb. 26, 2011
LUBBOCK, Texas - Already off to the best start in school history, No. 19 Texas Tech added one more early-season accolade Saturday night.
The Red Raiders won their 15th-straight game, defeating Northern Illinois, 8-0, at Rocky Johnson Field, all in the while matching the longest win streak in school history.
After scoring 19 runs against St. John's earlier in the day, Tech (15-0) got off to a fast start against the Huskies, scoring four runs in the first thanks to a Cydney Allen RBI single to left field and a two-run double by Sandy James.
Tech added to its lead in the second, beginning with a two-base throwing error on catcher Stephanie Tofft that allowed McKenzie Clemmons to reach home after the throw to catch her stealing second bounced of her foot and into left field.
Following seven RBIs earlier against St. John's, Logan Hall drove in another runner with a single up the middle to score Emily Bledsoe, giving Tech an early 6-0 lead. Hall now has 16 total RBIs in the Jeannine McHaney Memorial Classic, equaling her season total entering the weekend.
Mikey Kenney had a two-run double down the right field line in the fourth to continue Tech's hot-hitting at the plate. The double was her eighth of the season which leads the Big 12.
The offense was all pitcher Kelsey Dennis would need. The southpaw worked out of a couple jams but finished with five shutout innings to improve to 3-0 on the year.
Nicole Germillion (0-1) earned the loss for the Huskies (2-7) after lasting two innings and allowing six runs, only one of which was earned. Whitney Owens pitched two innings of relief, giving up two earned runs as well.
The Red Raiders will get a chance to extend their win streak Sunday afternoon when Tech closes the Jeannine McHaney Memorial Classic against Wichita State. First pitch is scheduled for noon at Rocky Johnson Field.

Tax administration
The administration burden has been reduced. On 30 June 2012, Par. 20, Art. 33 of the Law on Tax Administration (LTA), which sets forth that the tax administrator has the right to exempt a tax payer from fulfillment of the requirements prescribed by legislation which is within the competence of the tax administrator, came into force. The tax administrator may use this right if the tax obligations prescribed by the legislation are ensured by equivalent alternative measures.This provision is aimed at reducing the taxpayers' administrative burden when the tax administrator may examine, without anything required to be done by the taxpayer, whether respective obligations of the taxpayer have been fulfilled (e.g. not requiring to provide a receipt on the fee payment etc.).The procedure of implementation of these provisions of the LTA shall be established by the central tax administrator.
Residents should have to notify on the transactions exceeding 50 thousand Litas. The Law on Tax Administration was supplemented with Art. 421 which will come into force as of 1 January 2013. According to these provisions, residents of Lithuania will have to provide information to the tax administrator, following the procedure and the terms established by the tax administrator on the transactions which meet the following conditions:
If such information regarding the mentioned transactions is not provided according to the prescribed rules and terms, the sources for acquisition of assets or income received cannot be justified by these transactions.
A taxpayer could be released also from interest on a tax loan. Art. 88 of the Law on Tax Administration was supplemented with Par. 6 which sets forth that in accordance with the procedure of and on the grounds for release from default interest a taxpayer may be released from the calculated but still outstanding (not recovered) interest, increased interest, default interest or its part.
The tax administrator will be able to calculate tax according to the latest tax return. As of 1 January 2013, Art. 1041 of the Law on Tax Administration (hereinafter referred to as the LTA) will come into force. The provisions of this article set forth that the tax administrator, aiming to fulfill a non-declared tax obligation, will be entitled to establish a tax obligation for a taxpayer by its decision according to the latest tax return of the preceding tax period in which the tax payer has declared the payable amount if the taxpayer has not filed a respective tax return in due time prescribed by tax legislation.Such decision of the taxpayer does not repeal the obligation of the taxpayer according to the provisions of respective tax legislation to calculate tax and file a tax return. If the tax return is filed after the deadline for the filing, the tax obligation established by the tax administrator shall be adjusted according to the data of the filed tax return.By such provisions the legislator seeks to ensure prevention of tax non-declaration, fulfillment of an obligation of non-declared taxes, decrease of the costs related to identification and recovery of such obligations.
The tax administrator will be entitled to forbid settlements in cash. As of 2013, the tax administrator will be entitled to give instructions to a taxpayer (legal entity and an individual engaged in business activities) for a limited period to settle accounts with legal persons and individuals engaged in business activities only in non-cash. The instruction to settle accounts in non-cash may be given if the taxpayer or the head or an autorised person of a legal person acting to the benefit of or for the interests of the legal person was recognised to be guilty or an administrative penalty has been imposed on him with regards to the following:
conviction has not expired and has not been abolished or more than one year has not passed since the expiry of an administrative penalty.An instruction to settle accounts in non-cash may also be given if, when investigating whether tax was correctly calculated and paid, as well as during an assignment with regards to issuance of an opinion of a specialist, violations of tax legislation are identified and there is grounded risk that the taxpayer may conceal income or otherwise avoid tax payment by making settlements in cash.
The right to enforced recovery of a tax underpayment will be granted sooner. As of 2013, new wording of the provisions of Par. 2, Art. 105 of the Law on Tax Administration comes into force. The amendments set forth that the right for enforced recovery of a tax underpayment will be granted for the tax administrator the next day of the deadline for the payment of the declared tax and the next day of the deadline for the payment of the additionally calculated tax and related amounts. Currently, the right for enforced recovery of tax underpayment occurs for the tax administrator after 20 days of the deadline of the payment of the tax.

Corporate income tax (CIT)
A commentary of the Law on Corporate Income Tax regarding entertainment costs was supplemented. The state tax authorities have supplemented the commentary of Par. 2, Art. 22 of the Law on Corporate Income Tax regarding entertainment costs. The commentary specifies the purpose of the entertainment costs (to introduce the entity, the services provided, the goods sold) and the criteria of the events organised by an entity which comply with the concept of entertainment.The commentary sets forth that the entertainment costs may also include the costs for small business gifts (e.g. pens, flowers). High value gifts are not included in the concept of entertainment costs and should be treated as gifts. The commentary has also been supplemented with examples of practical situations.
The commentary of the Law on Corporate Income Tax (Law on CIT) regarding an investment project was supplemented. The state tax authorities supplemented the commentary of Par. 5, Art. 461 of the Law on CIT taking into account the amended provisions of Par. 5, Art. 461 of the Law on CIT (with regards to transfer of fixed assets, which are being used for an investment project, before the expiry of a three years period). The new provisions shall apply for calculation of corporate income tax for 2011 and subsequent tax periods.The commentary explains the mentioned provisions in more detail and provides practical examples.
The compliance of works with scientific research and experimental development will be evaluated by experts. Art. 171 of the Law on Corporate Income Tax sets forth that the costs of work of scientific research and experimental development may be deducted by an entity for CIT purposes for 3 times during the taxable period when incurred. On 14 June 2012, Resolution No. 650 of the Government of 6 June 2012 came into force. It sets forth that both a tax payer and the tax administrator may apply to the Agency of Science, Innovation and Technologies if there are uncertainties with regards to the treatment of respective activities as scientific research and experimental development. The resolution also specifies a recommendation schedule of the classification of scientific research and experimental development stages from the acquisition of knowledge to creation of a product. These guidelines are provided, based on which and taking into account the fact that the duration and number of these stages depend on a specific product the compliance of scientific research and development works with the mentioned Schedule may be verified.
Value added tax (VAT)
Lower VAT rates shall apply to certain goods and services. As of 1 January 2013, the following reduced VAT rates are established:9 percent – for newspapers, magazines and other periodicals, except for editions of erotic and (or) violence nature or editions where professional ethics is not followed, recognised as such by the institution authorised by legal acts and where the paid advertising amounts to 4/5 of the total area of the edition;9 percent – for the services of passenger carriage by regular routes established by the Ministry of Communication or its authorised institution or municipalities as well as for the services of baggage carriage of passengers specified in this point.5 percent – for technical aid means of disabled persons and repairs of these means.
Import VAT may be deducted irrespective of the fact of its payment.The European Court of Justice has adopted a judgment in case C-414/10 Veleclair SA versus Ministre du Budget, des Comptes publics et de la Reforme de l'Etat where it explained that Art. 172(b) of Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC shall be interpreted as not allowing a Member State to make the right to deduct value added tax on importation conditional upon the actual prior payment of that tax by the taxable person where that taxable person is also the holder of the right to deduction. This decision means that a taxable person who has imported goods to Lithuania for his economic activities (set forth in Par. 1, Art. 58 of the Law on VAT) has the right to deduct import VAT calculated in the manner prescribed, irrespective whether this amount has already been paid to the customs account.
Contributions of compulsory health insurance (CHI)
As of 1 August 2012, CHI contributions will increase. Taking into account the fact, that as of 1 August 2012 the minimum monthly salary will be increased, the payable compulsory health insurance contributions will change accordingly.Persons engaged in individual activities under a business certificate and taking compulsory health insurance independently shall pay fixed monthly CHI contributions of 9 percent of the minimum monthly salary. Therefore, as of 1 August 2012, the monthly CHI contributions to these persons shall be 77 Litas instead of 72 Litas. Accordingly, payable compulsory health insurance contributions of farmers and other persons involved in agriculture will also change.
Labour law
Minimum monthly salary will increase. On 20 June 2012, Resolution No. 718 of the Government On Increase of Minimum Monthly Salary came into force. It specifies that as of 1 August 2012 the minimum monthly salary shall increase to 850 Litas and the minimum hourly rate to 5.15 Litas.
The administrative burden of the employer in the field of safety and health has been reduced. As of 1 July 2012, the amendment to Subpar. 2, Par. 2, Art. 264 of the Labour Code, according to which the employer is not required to maintain a passport of safety and health status and keep it, comes into force.New wording of Par. 2, Art. 274 of the Labour Code also comes into force as of 1 July 2012. It sets forth that the requirement to include the general obligations regarding ensuring of safety and health of employees in the labour regulations is eliminated.
The Law on Bankruptcy of Natural Persons was adopted. On 10 May 2012, the Seimas adopted the Law on Bankruptcy of Natural Persons. The provisions of the Law come into force and shall be applied as of 1 March 2013.This law regulates the bankruptcy procedure of natural persons which could be initiated by the natural person itself. A natural person can initiate a bankruptcy procedure when he is not able to fulfill his debt liabilities which are outstanding and the amount of which exceeds 25 minimum monthly salaries. A repeated bankruptcy of a natural person may be initiated not earlier than after 10 years.

What is a mortgage pipeline? It is akin to a holding tank where loans that have been "locked in" go until the loan is placed into the loan portfolio, is sold, or falls out. According to Investopedia's definition of a mortgage pipeline, mortgages in the pipeline are "locked" and are protected against interest rate changes. However, some lenders include mortgage leads in their pipelines. In either case, the mortgage pipeline should be managed, and it should be managed as effectively as possible. Below are a few of the benefits of effective mortgage pipeline management:
- Mortgage pipeline management allows you to be proactive. By using mortgage pipeline management software or an effective management process, you can quickly view all activity in the pipeline, including lead tracking, new loan originations, loan status, and more. A centralized view allows you to know what's going on and where to focus.
- Mortgage pipeline management allows you to create an efficient workflow. Some mortgage pipeline management tools allow you to create a set of best practices to follow. For example, you could create a set of different loan scenarios to be used in consultative discussions with borrowers at a predetermined pipeline step. You could also create milestones and tasks associated with the pipeline to ensure that each loan flows in an orderly fashion and that all necessary steps take place.
- Mortgage pipeline management allows you to monitor and respond to risk. By effectively managing the mortgage pipeline, you can also react to market changes and take control of your sales and lead generation activities accordingly. For example, if rates are trending upward and you have leads that haven't committed, you may want to reach out to these leads to get them locked in before rates get much higher.
- Mortgage pipeline management allows you to identify the best sources of mortgage leads. In addition, you can track the performance of your lead sources through the mortgage pipeline management process. By identifying each mortgage's referral source, you can later compare results. Which referral sources resulted in closed loans? Which ones had the highest ROI? Which ones consistently referred the right types of loans for your business? Which ones tended to refer low value loans? Which ones tended to refer leads that were not right for your business? By identifying the winners and the losers, you will be in a much better position to determine which referrals sources to invest in in the future.
Mortgage pipeline management is a process that involves moving borrowers through the pipeline and ideally into a closed loan. By managing the pipeline effectively, lenders can take a more proactive approach, work more efficiently by following a well-thought-out workflow, monitor and respond to risk, and make better decisions regarding mortgage lead generation. Both manual and software-based mortgage pipeline management processes can deliver these benefits. Improve the quality of your loans and ensure a healthy flow of borrowers in the pipeline by improving your mortgage pipeline management process.

Here's an experiment: try Googling "skylar grey twilight." You'll probably be as shocked as we were that the only results that come up were for this: Grey, who's touring Europe with Bruno Mars, sang Mars' Breaking Dawn soundtrack cut "It Will Rain" with him in Austria. That's it! No secret Twilight obsessions, no tattoos of werewolves, vampires or wars/affairs between the two, no presumably meaningful quotes about Edward's chiseled, sparkling skin. Just this performance.
Oh, about the performance itself? Grey's contribution is soft and minimal; it's all about Bruno and his rain-slick voice. The crowd doesn't seem to mind this at all–notice how the cheers are as loud for the prospect of a new Bruno Mars song than it having something to do with Twilight. And we're sure it's a nice break for Skylar to sing with someone cuddlier than Marilyn Manson. It's a shame that here, she feels so invisible.

This is a discussion on Excerpts From: Altitude, Illness and Stupid Ideas: A Heuristic Approach within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; While reading the weekly Cripple Creek Courier over a cup of coffee this morning, I was struck by the following from the Police Blotter: Guido ...
While reading the weekly Cripple Creek Courier over a cup of coffee this morning, I was struck by the following from the Police Blotter:
Guido Jose Fishbein, aka Billy Bob Smith, Age 48, Colorado Springs, Arrested for Failure to Yield, Failure to Signal, Equipment Failure and Outstanding Warrant (for Failure to Yield, Failure to Signal, and Equipment Failure), Transported to Teller County Jail and Held under $500 bond.
Tammy Lynn Svensen, aka Tammy Lynwood, Age 27, Salida, Arrested for Failure to Signal, Equipment Failure and Outstanding Warrant (for Failure to Signal, and Equipment Failure), Transported to Teller County Jail and Held under $500 bond.
Martha Stuart, aka Martha Blondie The Shiv Stuart, Age 53, Pueblo, Arrested for Failure to Yield, Failure to Signal, Equipment Failure, Prostitution, and Outstanding Warrant (for Failure to Yield, Failure to Signal, Equipment Failure and Prostitution), Transported to Teller County Jail and Held under $750 bond.
Ad infinitum ad naseum
The above represents a real conundrum. Are all of these folks so stupid that they do not recognize that lightning can strike twice, especially in the same small city? Or to the contrary, has the altitude here made a normally brilliant people temporarily stupid? Are stupid people preternaturally attracted to Cripple Creek like in some Dean Koontz novel? This appears to be an important question, given the Police Blotter generally fills a page or two, and darn near every separate incident includes a previous outstanding warrant, week after week after month after month
It is thus living at 9,542 feet has opened our eyes to certain matters of medical importance, as well as various matters of entertainment. The entertainment, of course, is secondary to the scientific search for the absolute truth. These are illustrated by noted odd behaviors and expounded upon in many learned journals, and vary greatly dependent upon individuals and their ability to extract oxygen from the air at 9,542 feet and above. These do not pretend to solve the conundrum, or assign cause or effect, or analyze even lowly correlation, but are merely presented for consideration
And..........For the Wrap...........Let's Consider the Effects of Altitude......
Out of Town Criminals: Lets pick a town with a population of 1,000 with only three paved roads that serve the city, and then rob a bank or a casino or a casino patron. Dah. Result: Captured within 30 minutes. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
Out of Town Criminals: Home Invasions. Right. Bad idea on several levels Most out of town folk get lost on the roads in the mountains. You, Einstein, are not the exception. You are the rule. We find cars with bones in them every spring. Two, Teller County has the highest percentage of Concealed Weapons Permits per capita in the state. Even the cute little old ladies pack 38s without permits, and most folk hunt deer and elk with very high-powered rifles. Your odds of picking a house without a firearm by the door are darn near zero. Do you have a death wish? You will probably end up looking down the barrel of a large weapon, held by a very PO'd and very scared homeowner with a twitchy finger. Your brains will end up in El Paso County, and your body in a deep and unused mineshaft.
And one final word of advice...........
Do not enter into an alcohol-drinking contest with a local. You will fail, and the hangover will hurt worse than any hangover you have ever experienced. You will wish your brains would leak out of your ears. Your wallet will be empty or gone, and you will attempt to throw yourself under the wheels of a very large ore-mining truck at the gold mine to stop the pounding in your cerebral cortex. Lesson: Alcohol is very effective at high altitudes.
So, that there is a few of the scary ideas ricocheting around Teller County, currently 15 below with nary a cloud in the sky. Good night folks.......

This is a discussion on These are sad times... within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Originally Posted by rathos When I worked at Sportsman's Warehouse we always walked the guns to the counter. It was a great way to show ...
The manager didn't want you to scare any sheep. This is the first I've heard of this policy. I don't usually buy guns in Walmart.
The very first shotgun I ever bought (Winchester 1300) was in 1996 at a local walmart. At the time I worked for a sheriffs department that was in the neighboring county and we had to provide our own weapons.
Well, long story short after getting off of third shift on payday, I went straight to walmart, in uniform, with a full gun belt on (ASP, Ruger P95, extra magazines, mini mag, handcuffs, etc..) to make my last payment on it and pick it up. I can't remember if I had to do another check or not (kinda fuzzy there, but I want to say they did) but I distinctly remember that the manager had to walk me out and couldn't hand me the box until we were outside. So definitely don't feel too insulted that they walked you out, it's been their policy for years.
I never said it was a smart policy, but it's their policy still.

I suspect this is a "lawyer inspired" rule. It gives them a defense from negligence charges if someone buys a gun and ammunition then shoots everything up.
If the person is out of the store and loads up then returns they might be on more solid ground than if they can load up right at the counter.
A number of years ago I worked in a place that didn't allow employees to have guns in their cars. I asked the head of security why they had a rule they had no way of enforcing, ie. how would they know if someone had a gun in their car or not?
His reply... The legal department felt it gave them a legal defense if someone were to bring a gun in and shoot up the place. They could claim they had rules preventing guns. I know... DUMB!
I believe it's called "The Terminator Clause."
Pawn Shop Clerk: You know your weapons, buddy. Any one of these is ideal for home defense. So uh, which will it be?
The Terminator: [Pointing the 12-gage shotgun towards the door] All.
Pawn Shop Clerk: I may close early today. There's a 15-day wait on the hand guns but the rifles you can take right now.
[Takes out forms]
Pawn Shop Clerk: ...and you have to fill these out too.
[Sees the terminator load his 12-gage shotgun]
Pawn Shop Clerk: You can't do that.
The Terminator: Wrong.
[Shoots the clerk]
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands - love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper - his hands remember the rifle.
I bought my first shotgun at a Sears in Brooklyn NY back in 1963. After paying at the sporting goods register I carried it through the store (in its box) and did some more shopping. Maybe the name Ted Williams in big bright red letters on the box had something to do with it. LOL
YES indeed the times have certainly changed.
Sad times indeed, when a cup of fast-food coffee has to bear a warning label (Warning! Contents are HOT!), and the FDA has declared that "Cheerios" is actually a drug ... Sad times when plain old common sense is now, unfortunately, so rare and uncommon...

College Hockey:Michigan and Lake Superior State tie; Lakers take shootout
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — In a tale of two goaltenders, Lake Superior State's Kevin Kapalka and Michigan's Adam Janecyk battled through 65 minutes of regulation time and overtime hockey to a 2-2 stand-off.
It took six rounds of shootout chances for Lake Superior to record the win, 3-2, Saturday night at Yost Ice Arena.
Kevin McParland's sixth round shootout goal, finding an opening on Janecyk's stick side, clinched the win for Lake Superior. Domenic Monardo had scored in round three of the shootout to tie Michigan and send the shoot out to extra shooters.
After Michigan's Luke Moffatt opened the shootout with a quick move on Kapalka to score for Michigan, Kapalka stopped five straight Michigan attempts in the shoot out round.
Kapalka turned aside 35 of 37 Michigan shots, while Janacyk stopped 34 of 36 Laker attempts.
"I thought Kevin [Kapalka] played really well," said LSSU coach Jim Roque. "He played excellent tonight. Other than us scoring on him, he didn't give up a goal to Michigan. He played great and he was outstanding in the shootout, too."
Janecyk's start was the first of his career, only having played two partial games this season after seeing no playing time as a freshman. Janecyk had replaced Michigan's regular starting goaltender, Shawn Hunwick, on Friday night in the third period.
"There were a lot of question marks going into the game about Hunwick," Michigan coach Red Berenson said. "Hunwick had a slight headache this morning and he wasn't feeling himself, so we decided he shouldn't play and Janecyk came in. There were a lot of question marks about Janecyk and I think he showed us he can play and give us a chance.
"I thought he [Janecyk] was more in sync with the game. He was more jerky last night. Tonight, he was smooth. He was in position. He looked more confident."
After a scoreless first period, nearly 35 minutes of scoreless hockey ended in a flurry of goals in the final six minutes of the second period.
Michigan struck first at 14:40 of the middle stanza when David Wohlberg muscled his way toward the net on left wing and got a shot on Kapalka. The rebound bounced back into the net off Laker defensemen Kyle Haines' skate.
Lake Superior replied with only 1:41 left in the second period. Kyle Jean carried the puck to the front of the Wolverine net, managed a shot that Janecyk blocked directly to the stick of Ben Power, who dumped the puck in the empty Wolverine cage to tie the score, 1-1.
Just 13 seconds later, Michigan regained the lead on another bounce off a Laker player. Alex Guptill's backhand deflected off Dan Radke past Kapalka to reinstate the Michigan lead, 2-1, after 40 minutes.
Buddy Robinson's goal only 2:58 into the third period tied the game for the Lakers at 2-2. Neither team could connect in the remaining 17 minutes of the third period, necessitating the overtime and the six round of shootout attempts.
"It was a hard-fought game," summarized Berenson. "You knew it would be a close game. It's disappointing to give up the lead in the third period."
"Tonight, we scored all four goals, two of theirs went off our skates," Roque added. "We battled back. I didn't think we got a lot of good bounces. We battled through it. It was a huge win for us. We really needed it badly. It was a huge effort by our guys. You want to play good. We played really, really good tonight. It'll go our way. You got to stay with it and our guys did tonight."

The Quest for Anna Klein
Genre: Literary
Publisher: Corvus
Publication Date: 31/08/2011
Jennie Box 21 October 2011 - 3:01pm
Thomas Danforth, a young American, becomes involved in a plot to kill Hitler in 1939. The plot fails, but Danforth becomes obsessed with one of his co-conspirators, a mysterious young woman called Anna Klein, who disappears. Danforth, by now aged 91, chooses Paul Crane – a young employee of a think tank – to tell his tale in 2001, in the luxury of the Century Club, New York City, just after the destruction of the Twin Towers. This novel is a literary masterpiece, exploring paranoia, history and identity. Ultimately it is a compulsive meditation on the search for truth that dominates the bulk of one man's life. It is hoped that this novel brings Thomas H. Cook to a larger British audience.

Sunday afternoon didn't end up being too bad! Clouds moved in, but for the most part we only had a few isolated storms in East Central Indiana. Sunday highs topped out in the low 80s across most of Central Indiana today. The normal high this time of year is 85.
Tonight the clouds will break to partly cloudy skies and comfortable temps will settle in.
Monday and Tuesday we have chances for afternoon showers and storms, very similar to the pattern we've seen over the last two weeks.
By Wednesday, scattered showers and storms become likely and we could see heavy rain and strong storms. It's too early to tell if storms could be severe, but stay up to date with the forecast as we get closer to the middle of the week. By Wednesday night up to 2″ of rain is possible. Again, this could change, so we'll keep you posted on any and all updates.
The big headline of the forecast is when we'll dry out… and that's coming Thursday! Enjoy the sunshine and dry time in the forecast Thursday through Sunday.
