text: 07.01.14 New Grads. New Life. New Tax Implications. Once the final exams and commencement ceremonies are over, it's time for college grads to move on to the next phase—with exciting challenges and opportunities, and "real world" independence. But, along with that independence comes some very adult obligations—including taxes. To ensure you're getting the most out of your taxes, be certain to understand what to expect and which deductions and credits you're entitled to receive! Student Loan Interest Deduction—Claim it As Long as You Can!It's possible to deduct up to $2,500 in student loan interest each year, thereby lowering your taxable income, provided you are claiming yourself on your tax return. There is no limit on the number of years you can claim the deduction; however, there are limits on the income you can have and still claim the deductions, which may take affect you in future years. Can You Claim Yourself as a Deduction?It's likely that your parents have been claiming you as an exemption on their taxes for the past few years and since that exemption can be worth $3,950 in 2014, you may want to claim it for yourself—but can you? If you're under 24, or you've been a full-time student for at least five months of the year, your parents may still get to claim you as their deduction; however, if you are older than 24 or if you have been mostly supporting yourself, you may be able to claim your own exemption. Verify with your Tax Pro before you file your return to make sure there are no duplications. Job Hunt Expenses? Not This Time! Although you will be able to deduct job search expenses, when moving from one job to another within the same job field, this specific deduction does not apply when you are searching for your first job. Movers and Shakers…and Deductions! If your new dream job requires you to relocate you can claim moving expenses on your tax return, provided your new employer does not reimburse you. Deductible expenses can include: car mileage, packing materials, moving truck rentals and even lodging expenses (minus meals). To qualify for the deduction you must be moving at least 50 miles and need to work full-time for at least 39 weeks during the 12 months following your move. Don't take chances with your first "real" tax return, let the Tax Pros at Jackson Hewitt help you get everything you deserve!

Retail bankruptcies continued to rise in 2012 amid a grim new year forecast, as shoppers shift from shops to online purchasing.
15:43, UK, Wednesday 02 January 2013
The number of retail firms filing for bankruptcy continues to grow, according to new research.
Business advisory firm Deloitte said the number of retailers falling into administration in 2012 increased by 6%, compared with 2011.
It said 194 retailers entered administration last year, compared with 183 in 2011 - up 18% from the 165 bankruptcies in 2010.
Deloitte restructuring services partner Lee Manning said: "These figures are a stark reminder of the difficulties which continue to face the high street.
"Constrained household budgets and the structural challenges facing the sector mean it is certain that we will see further distress this year.
"Christmas trading appears to have been reasonable, though not spectacular and not enough to prevent insolvencies in the first quarter of 2013."
Deloitte said there had been a slight fall in the number of retail administrations during the last three months of 2012 compared to the fourth quarter of 2011, with bankruptcies down to 37 from 42.
Although administration proceedings across all sectors were down 9% in 2012 to 1,883, the retail sector was also noted for a number of high profile chains being hit.
"In 2012 alone we have seen Peacocks, La Senza, Blacks, Game, Clinton Cards, JJB Sports and Comet enter administration," Mr Manning said.
"Consumer confidence remains fragile and where we have seen some respite through lower inflation, this has not translated into increased spending with many consumers preferring to pay down existing debt or save."
The outlook continues to appear bleak for the retail sector, with the move to online shopping impacting heavily on future strategy.
"There will always be a need for physical retail space but at present too many retailers have too many stores and 2013 is likely to be marked by further closure programmes, both within and outside of formal insolvency processes.
"Similarly, as an increasing proportion of retail sales move to online and mobile, retailers need to consider how their stores support sales across all channels by offering flexible delivery or collection options, becoming a product showroom and developing brand engagement and loyalty."

Let your doctor and nurse know if you are experiencing any side effects or discomfort. Make sure you tell your doctor or nurse how these problems affect your day-to-day life.
Your treatment may cause side effects such as anemia, loss of appetite, and hair loss. Here are ideas on how to ease these and other discomforts.
Brain tumors may affect your cognition, which is your ability to think, reason, and remember. Many people with brain tumors have problems with concentration, language skills, and memory, as well.
You may have difficulty eating or lose your appetite during cancer treatment. Try eating small, frequent meals instead of three large ones. To improve your appetite, don't drink beverages with your meals.
Fatigue can come and go or stay constant for a while. Fatigue from chemotherapy tends to occur a few days after the treatment, peaks, and then gets better before the next treatment. Fatigue from radiation may not happen right away.
One way to reach out is to provide emotional support or help your loved one find an appropriate source of social support. Many people who have brain tumors find it helpful to talk to others who have been through a similar diagnosis and treatment program.
After brain tumor treatment, it's normal for a child to have after-effects. For instance, your child may have trouble talking, walking normally, or swallowing. Rehabilitation therapy can lessen these problems and help your child turn to normal activities, such as attending school.

A selection of knife paintings taking the landscapes of Hampshire, Berkshire and Leicestershire as their subject. The 7" 'mini version' contains less text than the large format hardback.
Both versions include the poem, "Up on the Downs".
Amanda Bates is a mother, a writer, a scientist and an artist. She doesn't consider any of these to be contradictory, but she does wish there was more time to do the ones that aren't her day job. She lives in north Hampshire and is very fond of taking her painting gear out for walks on the downs. When that isn't practical, she has been known to paint at home. She works predominantly in oils and acrylic.

In 2013, positive contributions came primarily from portfolio expansions and the German television business. During the reporting period, revenues increased by 1.8% to €16,400,000,000 from €16,100,000,000 in 2012. However, portfolio expansion growth "was offset by normalized revenues in the book business, generally weak advertising markets in Europe, and the scaling back of structurally declining business," the Bertelsmann Group stated.
Organically, revenues decreased by 2.8%. Exchange rate effects amounted to -1.2%; portfolio and other effects added 5.8%.
The operating result increased in 2013 despite startup losses in building new businesses…
The Bertelsmann Group generated operating EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) of €1,750,000,000 after €1,730,000,000 in 2012. Return on sales was again in the double digit range at 10.7%, a slight decrease from 2012 when it was 10.8%.
In particular, the result reflects a strong business performance by Mediengruppe RTL Deutschland, thriving IT and SCM services at Arvato, and the strategic portfolio measures taken during the reporting period.
Operating EBITDA from continuing operations rose to €2,300,000,000 from €2,200,000,000 in 2012. The consolidation of BMG contributed to this increase. The EBITDA margin was 14.1% (whereas it had been 13.8% in 2012). Bertelsmann Group profit improved by 42% in 2013 to €870,000,000 over €612,000,000 in 2012 – the highest it has been since 2006.
The business expansion in 2013 led to the highest investments in eight years. Including financial debt assumed, the Bertelsmann Group invested €2,000,000,000 (whereas it invested €655,000,000 in 2012), mainly in the acquisitions of BMG and Gothia as well as for the purchase of various music catalogs and film rights.
Thanks to the proceeds from the placement of RTL Group shares and a high level of operating cash flow, net financial debt was reduced to €636,000,000 at year-end (whereas in 2012 it was €1,218,000,000). The Bertelsmann Group stated its "broader economic debt was down to €4,178 million at December 31, 2013, after €4,773 million in the previous year. Adjusted operating free cash flow amounted to €1.8 billion (previous year: €1.9 billion)."
Bertelsmann C.F.O. Judith Hartmann added, "In financial year 2013 Bertelsmann demonstrated its high profitability, and the Group is in excellent financial shape. All the signs point to expansion and we have the resources available for it. The successful placement of RTL Group shares alone brought us proceeds of €1.5 billion. For 2014, Bertelsmann expects strong revenue growth, continued high profitability, and a positive development of Group profit."
Bertelsmann employees are participating in the successes achieved. For fiscal year 2013, they will receive profit participation amounting to €101,000,000 (whereas they received €92,000,000 in 2012), the third-highest total in the company's history to date.
In accordance with the terms governing the Bertelsmann 2001 profit participation certificate, 15% on the nominal value will again be paid out on May 12, 2014. The pay-out for the 1992 profit participation certificate is 7.49% (whereas in 2012 it was 7.39%).
Total assets increased significantly to €21,400,000,000 as of December 31, 2013 (from €18,900,000,000 in 2012). The increase is mainly attributable to the reduction in shares in RTL Group, the merger of Penguin and Random House, the acquisition of the remaining BMG shares and the purchase of Gothia.
Cash and cash equivalents remained at the same high level as in 2012 (€2,700,000,000). The income from the reduction in shares in RTL Group and the merger of Random House and Penguin increased the equity to €8,700,000,000 (from €6,100,000,000 in 2012). As a result of this increase, the equity ratio increased from 32.2% in 2012 to 40.7%.
At the end of the fiscal year, the Bertelsmann Group had 111,763 employees worldwide (whereas it had 104,286 in 2012). The increase of 7,477 employees is attributable primarily to strategic portfolio expansions. In 2013, there were 1,304 people serving in trainee positions in Bertelsmann companies in Germany (whereas there were 1,254 trainees in 2012).

About what????? How to wash a car?
Go to Wally World, go to Automotive section, buy a bottle/gallon of CAR WASH soap. Get a big sponge, 5 gallon bucket,. Find a nice shady area to wash the car and fill bucket with a soap/water solution. Spray the car with water and then get your sponge full of soap and wash car. Do small section and rinse with garden hose. Don't let the soap solution dry while on car. Some people like to towel dry the car, but if it's an older vehicle, why bother?
There are a lot of good car shampoos with carnuba wax to choose from. If your're on a budget mode, ordinary shampoo and conditioner will do.

I manage a server (running Ubuntu) which hosts our client's sites with a few dozen different PHP-based websites, mostly small sites but also some installations of CMSes and forums.
I used the
get_loaded_extensions() method to see what extensions I have loaded. To help streamline the server (remove unnecessary extensions to make upgrading easier and marginally improve speed), I'd like to remove extensions that aren't being used by any of the sites.
I currently have 54 different extensions loaded.
I can easily eliminate some of these from the list which I know are used, but others I am less sure about. Is there some way that I can see extensions which have not been used recently?

The project is utilizing several grants and initial funding from the Center for Freedom and Western Civilization to build stronger ties with Kabul University and help it develop new course materials and programs. The initiative was launched in 2005 after Alexander Nakhimovsky, associate professor of computer science and a member of the center's advisory board, traveled to Washington to meet with R. Michael Smith '70, and Dr. Ashraf Ghani, chancellor of Kabul University. (Michael Smith had known Dr. Ghani from his work in Afghanistan.) In the weeks that followed, Project Afghanistan came into existence, formulated its goals, and established connections with several complementary efforts. Initial funding for the project was provided by the center, which sees the project as a natural extension of its mission: Afghanistan is a country that is struggling to build a stable democracy, and one of the main prerequisites for stable democracy is high-quality university education that both instills the habits of critical thinking and prepares for careers in the modern world. Program on Economic Freedom The Program on Economic Freedom will be directed by Professor Chad Sparber, professor of Economics. Program in Constitutional Government The Program in Constitutional Government will be directed by Professor Stanley Brubaker, professor of Political Science.

全球有二十亿人(将近有三分之一人口)已受到乙型肝炎病毒感染。许多人清除了病毒并康复,但是有四亿人无法清除病毒,并继续充当病毒的"慢性携带者"。乙型肝炎在亚洲、东南亚、印度和部分非洲和南美洲、东欧及中东地区最为常见。 美国有一百多万慢性乙型肝炎病毒携带者。
亚裔人士中的误解之一是认为乙型肝炎可能"来自遗传",因为有时一个家族中有数代人受到感染。但这并非"遗传病"— 乙型肝炎是由病毒引起的。华人家庭可以通过接受化验、疫苗注射和治疗,来打破乙型肝炎传染的循环。
您可要求您的医生、当地的卫生部门或肝病专家进行一次简单的验血检测乙型肝炎。这一验血可在任何医生诊所进行。如果您在纽约市地区居住,您可致电给免费电话 1-888-888-0981了解详情和医生的转诊。您可以获得英语、国语和粤语信息。
不是每一个慢性乙型肝炎患者都需要用药﹐了解这一点很重要。一些患者只需要由其医生定期监测 (至少一年一次)。有肝病活动症状的患者最有可能从治疗中获益。请务必和您的医生谈一谈您是否可以从治疗中获益并讨论一下治疗方案。此外﹐在临床实验和研究渠道中都有令人鼓舞的新药。

of the hepatitis B virus and "recover" without any
problems. But many adults, and unfortunately most infected babies
and children, will be unable to get rid of the virus. They are
diagnosed as being "chronic carriers" of hepatitis
B -- the virus can stay in their blood and liver for a long time.
They can pass the virus on to other people.
The good news is that there is a vaccine to prevent hepatitis
B and new drugs for "chronic carriers" with active
signs of disease who could benefit from treatment.
How many people are affected?
Two billion people around the world (almost 1 out of
3 persons) have been infected with the hepatitis B virus. Many
people recover and get rid of the virus, but 400 million people
have been unable to get rid of the virus and remain "chronic
carriers" of the virus. Hepatitis B is most common in Asia,
Southeast Asia, India, parts of Africa and South America, Eastern
Europe, and the Middle East. In the United States there are more
than one million Americans who have chronic hepatitis B infections.
Why should Chinese people be concerned about hepatitis
Hepatitis B can infect any person of any age or race,
but Asians are at much higher risk for getting infected. Worldwide,
75% of all "chronic carriers" of hepatitis B are of
Asian descent. Although hepatitis B is very common in China,
it is also a problem among Chinese-Americans. As Chinese people
move to the United States, and other countries, the virus travels
with them.
One of the myths among Asians is that hepatitis B can be "inherited" since
several generations in one family may be infected. But this is
not a "genetic disease" -- hepatitis B is caused by
a virus. Chinese families can break the cycle of hepatitis B
infection by getting tested, vaccinated and treated.
How can I get hepatitis B?
Hepatitis B is an "infectious disease" that
is spread through blood. Bodily fluids that contain blood can
also pass the virus. Hepatitis B is spread through direct blood
contact, unprotected sex, shared needles, and from an infected
mother to her newborn baby during delivery. You cannot get hepatitis
B from the air, from hugging or touching, from toilet seats or
door knobs. Hepatitis B is NOT spread through casual contact.
Who is most likely to get infected with hepatitis B?
Although everyone is at some risk for getting hepatitis
B, there are some people who are more likely to get infected.
Your job, lifestyle, or just being born into a family with hepatitis
B can increase your chances of being infected. Here are some
of the most common "high risk" groups -- but please
remember that this is not a complete list:
Is there a vaccine to prevent hepatitis B?
Yes, all babies, children and adults can be vaccinated.
The vaccine is very safe -- you cannot get hepatitis B from the
vaccine. The best news is that it only takes three shots to protect
yourself and your loved ones for a lifetime. Babies and children
up to age 18 years can usually receive free vaccine from state
health departments. Ask your doctor for the hepatitis B vaccine.
Should I get vaccinated?
In the United States, doctors recommend that all newborns
and children up to age 18 years should be vaccinated. Adults
are also at risk for hepatitis B, especially those of Asian descent.
Talk to your doctor about getting the hepatitis B vaccine - protect
yourself from a serious liver infection.
Is the hepatitis B vaccine safe?
Yes, medical and scientific studies have shown it to
be one of the safest vaccines ever made. More than one billion
doses have been given throughout the world. The vaccine is made
in a laboratory -- you cannot get hepatitis B from the vaccine.
The most common side effects are redness and soreness in the
arm where the shot is given. Talk to your doctor about other
possible side effects and whether you have any allergies before
starting the vaccine series.
What else can I do to protect myself from hepatitis
Since hepatitis B is spread through blood, you should
avoid sharing sharp objects such as razors, toothbrushes, earrings,
and nail clippers. Make sure that sterile needles are used for
acupuncture, tattoos and body piercing. Avoid touching blood
by using gloves or paper towels to protect your hands. Use bleach
to clean up blood spills. Use condoms with sexual partners. Avoid
using illegal drugs. Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap
and water after touching any blood. Most importantly, make sure
you get vaccinated.
How will I know if I have been infected with hepatitis
Hepatitis B is a "silent infection. Most people
don't have any symptoms when they are infected. So they can have
hepatitis B without even knowing it. Your doctor or local health
clinic can order a simple blood test. The blood test can show
whether you have been infected or not.
How many people "recover" from or become "chronic
carriers" of hepatitis B?
The answer depends on whether you are infected as an
adult, a child, or a baby. Adults usually "recover" because
their immune systems can get rid of the virus. If a healthy adult
is infected, they have a 90% chance of getting rid of the virus
and a 10% chance of becoming chronically infected. Babies and
children, however, are more likely to develop a chronic infection.
Their immune systems have more difficulty getting rid of the
virus. If a baby is infected, there is only a 10% chance of getting
rid of the virus and a 90% chance of developing a chronic infection.
Young children have a 40% chance of recovering and a 60% chance
of developing a chronic infection. But everyone can be protected
against hepatitis B infections through vaccination.
Where can I go to be tested?
You can ask your family doctor, the local health department,
or a liver specialist to order the simple hepatitis B blood test.
This blood test can be done in any doctor's office.
You can also call the GlaxoSmithKline HBV Info and Assistance
line, toll-free at 1-888-888-0981. Information
about HBV and physician referrals across the country are available
in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, and Vietnamese.
Are there any treatments if I have chronic hepatitis
Currently, there are seven approved drugs in the
United States for people who have chronic hepatitis B infections.
These drugs are also available in China:
It is important to know, not every chronic hepatitis B patient
needs to be on medication. Some patients only need to be monitored
by their doctor on a regular basis (at least once a year, or
more). Other patients with active signs of liver disease may
benefit the most from treatment. Be sure to talk to your doctor
about whether you could benefit from treatment and discuss the
treatment options. In addition, there are promising new drugs
in clinical trials and in the research pipeline.
However, it is vital that all people with chronic hepatitis
B visit their doctor on a regular basis, whether they receive
treatment or not!

Linux Foundation Reveals Enterprise Adoption Survey Results
Linux usage and adoption poised for further growth.
The Linux Foundation along with Yeoman Technology Group have released the results of a survey that polled members of the Linux Foundation End User Council and government agencies, and private organizations. Of the nearly 2,000 Linux users polled, roughly 20 percent of the respondents represented companies with US$ 500 million in revenues or employed at least 500 employees.
The results are encouraging. Of those polled, 66 percent choose Linux for new deployments over Windows and Unix. Similarly 68 percent of those polled are in the process of or have already migrated from Windows or Unix to Linux. As a result of increased adoption, the survey found that Linux use is expected to grow by 76.4 percent during the next five years.
Some other interesting results gleaned from the survey were also encouraging. For example, traditionally the primary driver for Linux adoption has been cost-effectiveness. This survey found that the primary driver is now technological superiority. That said, 40.4 percent of respondents indicated that the recent economic downturn has caused their companies to increase Linux use, though 58.6 percent say the recession has had no effect on adoption. The vast majority of respondents (86.5 percent) believe that Linux continues to improve.
Cloud adoption was surprisingly low with only 26 percent of respondents planning to move services or applications to the cloud in the next year, as opposed to the 40 percent majority that has no plans to move at this time. The biggest obstacle to Linux adoption is an unsurprising one. Driver availability was the primary concern about adoption, followed closely by interoperability.
In all, the results were positive for the adoption of Linux and perceptions of the operating system as a whole, speaking volumes about adoption and the future. If Linux grows at the rate predicted in the survey, Linux IT professionals will be in high demand.

Jessica Matthews, the inventor of SOCCKET is 26-years old and has topped Forbes 30 under 30 list this year and was named as a "Change Agent" by USA Today for her invention, the SOCCKET – a soccer ball that harnesses kinetic energy from playing. The energy can then be used for everyday purposes, which is especially handy in countries where electricity is scarce. For every 30 minutes of playing with the ball, up to 3 hours of LED wattage is generated. The invention has gained major accolades from President Obama and President Clinton, among other notable influencers. Jessica and the Uncharted Play team just returned from the World Cup where they introduced a new Uncharted Play curriculum (with the SOCCKET as the centerpiece) to school aged children in Brazil's favelas. This is my original article on the SOCCKET.
I wanted to do a "Where are they now" article. This is my interview with Ms. Matthews.
What prompted you to invent the SOCCKET, and found Uncharted Play?
The SOCCKET started as a group project at Harvard in an engineering class for non-majors. My group was tasked with the broad challenge of creating a game that would help address a global development issue, and soccer, being such a global sport, was a natural fit. As a Nigerian-American, I would frequently travel to visit my family's village and was inspired by the boundless energy and passion that the children had for soccer. Around the same time as our project, I traveled back to Nigeria for my Aunt's wedding when in the middle of the ceremony there was a power outage. I was surprised not by the power-loss, which is frequent all across Nigeria, but to see my family break out these clunky kerosene generators emitting such noxious polluting gases. I was coughing and looked a little perturbed when offhand someone said "You'll get used to it." At that moment, it clicked, and I knew that I would not get used to it and no one else should have to either. Uncharted Play was founded to find new sustainable answers to global issues, and instead of focusing on solutions like generators, which are dangerous and connote ideas of loss and lack of resources, direct that passion and joy from play and turn it into a tangible and profound asset.
What is the mission behind Uncharted Play's new curriculum Think Out of Bounds?
Our Think Out of Bounds curriculum takes the inherent curiosity and passion in play and helps pivot it into an empowering social tool. Play is collaborative and intuitive, and by providing kids with our energy-generating products, the SOCCKET and the PULSE jumprope, with the structure of the STEM curriculum we establish a baseline for connecting the idea of learning with fun. Not only does the SOCCKET serve as a tool for teaching kids about technology and how to be an inventor, but its history and its potential inspires and reinforces the idea of creative confidence; that anyone can be an inventor.
What makes Think Out of Bounds different than other learning programs?
The Think Out of Bounds curriculum is distinctive in that it challenges kids to create organic solutions to unique issues affecting their own communities. Think Out of Bounds empowers kids to take ownership of their own communities and to think critically about interesting and new ways to counter some of their most salient social issues.
Please describe how the SOCCKET is used:
Housed in the core of the SOCCKET, there is a mechanism consisting of a pendulum, motor, and battery, that when kicked collects the kinetic energy from play and transforms it into electricity. A half-hour of play powers an LED light for 3 hours. We distribute the SOCCKET's along with our TOOB curriculum and Share-Kits to our non-profit and NGO partners who have long standing relationships in developing communities. When utilized in schools, the children play with the SOCCKET recreationally, and then plug it into its companion Share-Kit which disperses the power into five separate flashlights. Kids can then bring their flashlight home to read and do homework once it gets dark. Not only does the SOCCKET provide a tangible alternative to kerosene gas lamps, but it also incentives children to come to school.
What is your history with Toyota, and why did you decide to team up with them for the Uncharted Play curriculum?
Our history with Toyota starts back in 2012 when myself and co-founder Julia Silverman were awarded Toyota's "Mothers of Invention" award. It was one of the first times we had been recognized for our efforts and the grant they provided us was the first big financial investment we had received, allowing us to seriously grow our company and our impact. When we had decided we wanted to go to Brazil and teach our curriculum to children in the Rio community, Toyota was a natural partner. Not only do we value Toyota's legacy of supporting invention and sustainability worldwide, but also how seamlessly their products fit into the model of innovation and creativity we hope to spur in children.
Uncharted Play has been widely recognized in the field of social entrepreneurship. Uncharted Play, a social invention company best known for the SOCCKET, a soccer ball that harnesses kinetic energy from play for practical, everyday use, has joined forces with Toyota, the world's top automaker, to introduce UP's Think Out of Bounds curriculum, aimed at encouraging social invention across the globe.
What would be your number one piece of advice for someone wanting to start a company in the sustainable tech and STEM education space?
I believe one of the most important components of starting a new company, especially one with a STEM foundation, is investment in your employees. Children aren't the only ones who can gain value from tinkering and exploring the limits of the tech space. Allow your team members, even those who might not work in product development or engineering, a chance to explore design and really get to know the technical side of your organization. When everyone has a base understanding of how things work and the process of innovation, there's a great opportunity to spur creative new ideas that are informed by all types of backgrounds.
Your invention has significant practical applications in energy starved regions around the world. Your work in Brazil, you affectionately refer to as an "impact mission." How did the children respond to the SOCCKET? Any stories from their play with the ball?
Immediately upon arrival at the community center we worked in, the children saw the SOCCKET and were so excited to just start playing; they didn't even know there was anything special about them. Once we got a chance to tire them out and sit down with them and show them the ball and the light it produced, they were amazed. The kids were thinking up all sorts of ways to try and adapt the technology to other things. Kite flying is huge in Rio and we saw some of the kids trying to work on a way to harness the rotational energy of the spool of string, so that once the wind catches the kite's sails, it would spin and power the battery.

Every culture deals with death a little differently. Being a great melting-pot of race and ethnicity that this country is, we see extraordinary diversity among families during emotional circumstances. One characteristic that seems constant, however, is individuality.
Regardless of for whom the memorial is for, families and individuals strive to design a memorial that best represents the people they are meant to honor. We have made it our priority to accommodate as many design ideas as possible to create a meaningful memorial.
Personal memorials are divided into three categories. Please select a category for more information.
Several options exist to create unique memorials beyond one's name and dates. Not all of these options are available to every memorial type, but there are always several to choose from regardless.
Carved Artwork is created with the same engraving process as lettering names and dates, thus carved artwork is included in the cost of your memorial. It uses deeply carved lines to define "frosted" shapes: areas with polish removed to create contrast. Families may choose from our many existing designs, or have one of our artists create something totally unique.
Etched Artwork is done using a diamond-tipped hand tool, and is similar in process and outcome to drawing. Etchings are possible only on darker stones which provide the most contrast. A very high degree of detail is possible, realistically portraying anything from portraits to landscapes, from tiny ornamentation to expansive montages. As this method requires an extra step beyond carving, additional costs do apply.
Shape-Carved Artwork is done by hand to create beautiful three-dimensional carvings. Pechmann Memorials is unique amongst other monument companies in that we shape-carve basic designs for free. As with hand-tooling, this skillful method comes at an additional charge for more extensive designs.
Vases are available in various sizes and colors of granite, bronze, and composite materials. In addition to acting as a vessel for flowers, vases themselves may be sculptural or provide another surface for personalized artwork.
Ceramic Portraits combine digital photography and ancient enameling processes to create lasting images. Available in various shapes and sizes, in black-and-white or color, ceramic portraits also have several bronze frame designs to choose from.
Bronze Artwork combines with the color and texture of stone to create a strikingly elegant impression. Customers may browse our in-stock bronze pieces as well as explore several catalogs.
Poetry is another artform that creates a one-of-a-kind memorial when engraved.
Creativity is encouraged! We have had families place their hand-prints in cement foundations, create their own collages to be carved or etched, and even sculpt their own bronze statues for us to install. If you are thinking of adding artwork to your stone, we strongly encourage you to bring photos of your loved ones, stories of their favorite things or places, and design ideas at any stage of their development. Together we can create a beautiful and unique piece in honor of your loved ones.

Westover Mayor: We Intend To Appeal The Commissions Decision
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on January 09, 2013 @ 7:45PM
Created on January 09, 2013 @ 7:39PM
It looks like the legal battle between Monongalia County commissioners and officials with the City of Westover is going to drag out a little longer.
Westover Mayor Dave Johnson said he intends to appeal the commission's decision to deny their attempts to annex the Morgantown Mall.
Westover city leaders have been trying to claim the mall as part of their own for at least two years.
Wednesday morning a judge told them they have the right to appeal the decision. Then Wednesday afternoon at the commissioners weekly meeting that's what Johnson said they intend to do.
Commissioners have said they'll see what the judge has to say about Westover's decision to appeal.

text: Employer Gross-Ups Vol. 54 No. 9 Online Sidebar By Todd A. Solomon and Brian J. Tiemann 9/1/2009 Permissions Page ContentBecause an employee with a domestic partner is taxed on the value of employer-provided coverage and must pay the employee's premiums on an after-tax basis, the employee ends up paying significantly more for coverage than an employee covering a spouse. Employers that recognize this disparity and want to provide equal benefits often address this issue by "grossing-up" the income of the employees covering their domestic partners by the amount that the employees must pay in taxes for the domestic partners' coverage. Employers that opt to gross-up employees' salaries should keep in mind that since the employees must pay tax on the gross-up, the amount of the gross-up should include both the amount of the tax that an employee would pay for the domestic partner's coverage and the amount of the tax that the employee would pay on the gross-up itself.

Food: The Key Concepts presents an exciting, coherent and interdisciplinary introduction to food studies for the beginning reader. Food Studies is an increasingly complex field, drawing on disciplines as diverse as Sociology, Anthropology and Cultural Studies at one end and Economics, Politics and Agricultural Science at the other. In order to clarify the issues, Food: The Key Concepts distills food choices down to three competing considerations: consumer identity; matters of convenience and price; and an awareness of the consequences of what is consumed. The book concludes with an examination of two very different future scenarios for feeding the world's population: the technological fix, which looks to science to provide the solution to our future food needs; and the anthropological fix, which hopes to change our expectations and behaviors. Throughout, the analysis is illustrated with lively case studies. Bulleted chapter summaries, questions and guides to further reading are also provided.

Technote (troubleshooting)
I work with IBM SPSS Statistics software and see there is the function PMA (Prior Moving Average) on Create Time Series function list.
PMA creates new series based on the prior moving averages of existing series. The prior moving average for each case in the original series is computed by averaging the values of a span of cases preceding it.
I would like to request a new functionally as a similar function to PMA but including the current case. So, averaging the values of a span of the current case and the cases preceding it.
So a span of 4 should make the moving average of the variable of the current case + the 3 preceding cases. Can this be added as a new function?

DOUGLAS LEE KELLISON and )
JULIE KAY KELLISON, ) Case No. 08-40480
) Chapter 7
Debtors. )
This matter is before the Court on Debtors' Motion to Set Aside Discharge for the Purpose
of Filing and Approving the Reaffirmation Agreement and Reinstate Discharge.1 On April 17, 2008,
Debtors filed this Chapter 7 petition. The 11 U.S.C. § 3412 meeting of creditors was scheduled and
held on May 20, 2008, and the last day for opposing discharge was set as July 21, 2008. When no
one filed such an objection, the Court entered a discharge order pursuant to Fed. Rule Bankr. P.
1Doc. 17.
2This case was filed after October 17, 2005, when most provisions of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and
Consumer Protection Act of 2005 became effective. All statutory references are thus to the Bankruptcy Abuse
Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101 - 1532 (2005), unless otherwise specifically noted.
Case: 08-40480 Doc #: 30 Filed: 01/05/2009 Page 2 of 5
4004.3 The discharge was granted on August 5, 2008. Seven weeks later, on September 25, 2008,
Debtors filed the instant motion.
Debtors did not provide any statutory or other legal support for the relief they requested, and
a very brief review of available case law indicated that the Court likely lacked the legal authority
to set aside a discharge order to allow a debtor to file a reaffirmation agreement. On November 14,
2008 the Court issued an order requiring Debtors to file a brief providing legal support for their
request to set aside the discharge order, which brief was timely filed. Specifically, the Court
requested Debtors address a recent holding out of the Central District of Illinois, In re Golladay,4
in which that court denied the very relief requested by Debtors in this case.
Debtors' brief in support of their motion to vacate their discharge sets forth two legal
theories upon which they claim the requested relief is proper. First, Debtors claim that good cause
exists pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9024 to set aside the discharge order as a result of excusable
neglect of counsel. Second, Debtors rely upon Ackermann v. United States5 to support their position
that the Court has the authority to find that extraordinary circumstances exist that would allow the
Court to set aside its prior order. Debtors' counsel claims such extraordinary circumstances exist
because the reaffirmation agreement was inadvertently misplaced in his office, and was not
discovered until after the entry of discharge.
Although Debtors' brief does address the issues raised in Golladay, the Court's research
reveals other authority that the Court finds more persuasive, and has determined that it disagrees
3Rule 4004 requires the Court to "forthwith" grant the discharge when all prerequisites for discharge are met.
4391 B.R. 417, 422-23 (Bankr. C.D. Ill. 2008).
Case: 08-40480 Doc #: 30 Filed: 01/05/2009 Page 3 of 5
with certain portions of the Golladay decision. In particular, the Court finds that Fed. R. Bankr. P.
9024 does not allow the Court to set aside a discharge order under the facts of this case, even though
that option was mentioned as a possibility in Golladay.6
Instead, the Court finds the reasoning set forth in In re Engels7 to be more persuasive on this
issue and adopts the legal analysis in that opinion. In Engels, the court analyzed the requirements
for creating a valid, enforceable reaffirmation agreement, including the fact that the Code requires
a reaffirmation to be made prior to the entry of discharge order.8 The court then discussed the same
arguments Debtors make here, including that the court should utilize its authority under Fed. R.
Bankr. P. 9024 (which incorporates Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)), to exercise its equitable powers to set
aside the discharge order so that Debtors can file the reaffirmation agreement. The court held that,
pursuant to § 727(d) and (e), only the case trustee, a creditor, or the U.S. Trustee has standing to
seek a revocation of a debtor's discharge.9 Further, the court held that Rule 9024 cannot be used to
circumvent a clearly stated substantive provision of the Bankruptcy Code, such as the limitations
on standing for bringing an order revoking discharge found in § 727.
The Court adopts the reasoning and conclusions reached by the court in In re Engels, and
finds that the Debtors lack the authority to set aside their discharge in this case. The procedures for
revoking a discharge are clearly set forth in § 727(d) and (e), and neither of those subsections allow
a debtor to seek revocation of his or her own discharge in order to file a reaffirmation agreement.

8Id. at 596 (citing 11 U.S.C. § 524(c)(3) and In re Herrera, 380 B.R. 446, 450 (Bankr. W.D. Tex. 2007)).
9Id. at 598-99.
Case: 08-40480 Doc #: 30 Filed: 01/05/2009 Page 4 of 5
Although Rule 9024 may facially appear to provide the Court with the authority to amend its prior
order granting the Debtors' discharge, a bankruptcy rule may not circumvent clear statutory
provisions, including the specific limitations on the identity of persons eligible to bring a motion to
revoke a discharge expressly enumerated in § 707(d) and (e).10
Allowing Debtors to set aside their discharge order after failing to timely file a reaffirmation
agreement would directly circumvent both the mandate in § 524(c)(1) that requires such agreement
be made prior to the entry of discharge, as well as those in § 707(d) and (e) that specifically limit
those individuals or entities with standing to revoke an order granting discharge. To grant the relief
requested in this motion would essentially write the requirements of those specific statutory
provisions out of the Bankruptcy Code. The Court will not, and in fact finds that it cannot, utilize
the general provisions of Rule 9024 or its general equitable powers to grant the relief requested in
this motion.11
IT IS, THEREFORE, BY THE COURT ORDERED that the Debtors' Motion to Set
Aside Discharge for the Purpose of Filing and Approving the Reaffirmation Agreement and
Reinstate Discharge12 is denied.
10See In re Asay, 364 B.R. 423, 426 (Bankr. D. N.M. 2007) ("The Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure are
not the equivalent of statutory law, and when there is an apparent conflict between the Rules and the Code, the Code
prevails."). See also 28 U.S.C. § 2075 (implements the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and states that "[s]uch
rules shall not abridge, enlarge or modify any substantive right." ).
11Even if the Court did have the ability to set aside the discharge order under Rule 9024, the Court finds that
the facts of this case do not rise to the "extraordinary" circumstances necessary to justify setting aside the discharge
order. See Golladay, 391 B.R. at 423 (holding that "a debtor seeking relief under this Rule must show 'extraordinary'
circumstances which prevented relief through usual channels) (citing Ackermann v. U.S., 340 U.S. 193 199-202 (1950)).
The explanation given by Debtors for the delay in timely filing the reaffirmation, although understandable, are not
sufficiently "extraordinary"to warrant the relief requested. This is especially true given the fact that Congress expressly
placed numerous procedural hurdles in the path of effectuating a binding reaffirmation agreement, with the apparent
intent to protect debtors. See In re Schott, 282 B.R. 1, 7 (10th Cir. BAP 2002).

The Progress docked to the aft port of the station's Zvezda Service Module at 1:23 a.m. CDT as the two spacecraft orbited about 240 statute miles above Central Asia. Shortly after first contact, hooks and latches engaged between the Progress and Zvezda to lock the two together.
Expedition 5 crewmembers, Commander Valery Korzun, Astronaut Peggy Whitson and Cosmonaut Sergei Treschev, will do leak checks between the Progress and Zvezda before opening hatches at about 4:30 a.m. to gain access to the newly arrived vehicle. The crew will unload its cargo during the coming days.
Progress 8 replaces the Progress 7 cargo carrier at the space station. Progress 7 was undocked early Tuesday and deorbited later that morning. It burned in the Earth's atmosphere with its load of trash from the ISS.
This week, the crew continued to settle into its new home and conduct scientific experiments. Whitson and Treschev worked to activate the Zeolite Crystal Growth Furnace, and Korzun and Whitson performed their first of several monthly sessions with the Pulmonary Function experiment to test their lung capabilities while living in a microgravity environment. Whitson took the first samples from the Advanced Astroculture soybean plant growth experiment.

Kim Kardashian Seeing Ex-Boyfriend Ray J Behind Kris Humphries' Back?
Kim Kardashian is once again the subject of an inaccurate story by MediaTakeOut.
The site, which previously wrongly reported that Kardashian was pregnant and that she and Kanye West were dating, now claims that the reality star is secretly seeing ex-boyfriend Ray J behind her fiance Kris Humphries' back.
In a vulgar and annoyingly capped headline, MediaFakeOut writes, "SECRET SURVEILLANCE SUGGESTS THAT RAY J IS STILL SMASHING KIM KARDASHIAN!! (KRIS LOSES AGAIN)."
The bad blog then says, "We're not QUITE SURE what to make of it. But recent surveillance video shows Kim Kardashian SECRETLY meeting up with Ray J . . . at his CRIB!!!"
WRONG (in all capital letters)!
A source close to Kardashian tells Gossip Cop that contrary to MTO asserting it's a "recent surveillance video," the "footage is so old!"
In fact, we're told the vehicle in which Kardashian is seen with Ray J is a car she "hasn't even owned… in a long time!"
It's gotten so bad with MediaTakeOut, we don't think the site could get a story right about Kardashian, even if we spotted them the R-I-G-H… and T!

text: (from John Corbett's liner notes...) "Stockholm, Fall 1972. Sven-Åke Johansson, up to then busy playing and recording with Peter Brötzmann, Alexander von Schlippenbach, Manfred Schoof and other leading figures of continental improvisation, as well as his own lesser-known Moderne Nordeuropäische Dorfmusik, sat down to make one of the world's unique drum documents. Johansson put Schlingerland out himself in a heretofore unseen-by-most-humans edition of several hundred, with a lovely hand-printed cover. Later, Berlin's incendiary stalwart FMP initiated its sister label SAJ by reissuing the LP. It wasn't the first solo free percussion album in Europe - Pierre Favre and Han Bennink beat Johansson by a couple of years. But it is unlike those other percussion-centric records, focused fixatedly on the drumset. Nothing extraneous. A poem on polyrhythm. A meditiation on varieties of flow and levels of intensity. And the infinite possibilties of the kit."
