Cue music. If this article could have background music, it might be country or it might be jazz. But then again it could be pop or rock or latino. That's because this year's 67th Annual Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA) Convention & Exhibition is located in one of the coolest music towns in the country, Austin, Texas, on October 20-23. Calling itself the "Live Music Capital of the World®," Austin has more live music venues per capita than anywhere else in the nation. So whatever your liking, start humming and read on about the big plans ARA has as they descend upon big sky country in the great state of Texas.
"Whether you've never attended an ARA Convention or if you've never missed one, you'll be sure to learn something new at this year's event," says Kim Glasscock, ARA's meeting planner. "In response to member feedback, this year's event features 40 percent more educational seminars than we have offered the past two years," she says. "Members told us what they want, and we listened."
ARA will provide attendees with the tools of the industry to prepare them to meet whatever the future may hold. With the recession, fluctuating energy, and scrap prices, Cash for Clunkers, VIN reporting, and all the other issues auto recyclers are tackling in the current marketplace, now is not the time to be complacent.
Glasscock, Chief Executive Officer Michael Wilson, ARA President Bill Tolpa, the Executive Committee, Events Advisory Committee Chair Steve Holland, and Holland's committee have put together an outstanding program of educational sessions, networking opportunities, and social events.
As always, Wilson says, "Our goal is to present a forum for the latest and the best ideas that will help our members add to their bottom line." To this end, the Convention includes education sessions that offer something for everyone from the industry veteran looking for a fresh marketing idea to the newbie who's learning how to buy cars.
"We have seminars on every aspect of the business that you can think of," Tolpa says. "What's happening in the recycling industry; what's new in marketing, hiring, and managing employees; technical training – we have it all this year." With three education sessions scheduled in every time slot, he suggests bringing a business partner, spouse, or key employees to cover as many sessions as possible and make the most of your time in Austin.
Team Building. Have you ever wondered why one team member asks so many questions while another seems to ask none? Or why one person is so sensitive while another is too blunt? Understanding the personalities of your team members and how to communicate with them is the number one way to impact the success of your business. Personality profiling is the universal language of behavior. Join Chris LoCurto for the Keynote Session as he explains how to understand the unique characteristics of each individual on your team.
Plus, LoCurto will break down the 10 specific steps to making the best decision every time. Fear will get you killed – think of the indecisive squirrel in the road that becomes roadkill. A great man once said, "Indecision is the greatest thief of opportunity." Listen as LoCurto explains the right way to "make the call."
Boost Up Sales. Join Greenleaf's Bill Stevens for a dynamic session on boosting your sales. In "Supercharge Your Sales," Stevens will give you the inside scoop on how to create sustainable improvement using proven sales management techniques. You'll learn how to get more from the inventory and people you already have using phone metrics, goal setting, motivation, and effective sales leadership.
Market Trends. The incomparable Jim Counts returns with tips for "The 21st Century Recycler." Join Counts and learn how to be prepared for the ever-changing marketplace and new technology coming your way. Fewer buyers, salespeople, and more effort toward part preparation and delivery are the coming trends; Counts will teach you how to take advantage of them to increase profits and deliver better service to your customers.
Leadership. You won't want to miss John Graci, speaker, author, and director of Leadership Training, Employers Association, Inc. He will speak on "Motivating Employees Using Common Sense." Graci is one of the most in-demand business motivational experts in the country. His advice has helped leaders at all levels to fully understand the power they possess in motivating employees to work harder, faster, and smarter at companies ranging from Andersen Window to Best Buy to Mall of America. Now, you can benefit from his impressive expertise.
Graci's message is loud and clear: Leaders have the power to help employees feel good when they come to work, but they also have the power to make employees feel miserable. He will help you evaluate the leader/employee relationships in your organization and coach you through the techniques to involve employees in change, accept different value systems, practice constant and open communication, and challenge others to grow and develop.
Diversification: Be sure to check out the session on self-service operations with John (JC) Cahill, Regional Director of APG Chandler, and maybe find a new direction for your business. Formerly National Sales Manager for Greenleaf Auto Recyclers, Cahill is an expert in full-service and self-service and plays a pivotal role in developing a new hybrid model of recycling for Schnitzer Steel Auto Parts Group. His presentation includes acquisition, dismantling, and processing for vehicles in a self-service environment.
Internet. New this year are several sessions on maximizing the Internet for your business, including the secrets to building brand awareness through social marketing sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
The Latest on Software. Want more hands-on advice? The Saturday software user sessions are for you. Reps from Pinnacle, Hollander, Checkmate, and S3 Software Solutions will demonstrate the latest developments and provide on-site training. This is also a great time to ask questions about your system and any little problems you may be experiencing as a user.
All women involved in the recycling industry, from all ages and backgrounds, are invited to the Women in Recycling Networking Meeting, Thursday, 7:30-8:50 a.m. The goal of this informal group is to enhance the automotive recycling industry and the role of women within it through education, networking, and sharing of resources.
The group plans to develop a mentoring program to help women advance in the automotive recycling industry, offer education and leadership development opportunities to build skills for success, and provide networking opportunities for women.
Bring your ideas for programs to attract more women to the industry, suggestions for encouraging the exchange of ideas and perspectives on the challenges women face, and your opinions on how to advance women in the industry. No requirements are necessary except your enthusiasm and willingness to share ideas and experiences. This forum is a great way to jump-start your day!
On Friday evening, enjoy some of that famous Texas hospitality when the Snyder family welcomes ARA members to Snyder's Recycled Auto and Truck Parts in Holland, Texas, for the yard tour, heavy equipment display, barbecue, and ARA Scholarship Foundation fundraiser. Situated on 20 acres in Bell County about 45 minutes from Austin, Snyder's is a state-of-the-art facility operated by two generations of the Snyder family.
Dedicated to ongoing investment in infrastructure, Snyder's is considered one of the premier recycling facilities in Texas. You'll want to take advantage of this opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes view of their operation and see what it means to truly be a professional auto recycler.
After you've had the yard tour and checked out the heavy equipment on display from our exhibitors, kick back and relax, Texas style, with a genuine Texas barbecue with all the trimmings. Then, saddle up to ride the Buckin' Bull in the ARA Scholarship Foundation "Buckin' for Brains" contest. This fun-filled fundraiser is guaranteed to be like no other. If bull riding isn't your style, you can still support the ARA Scholarship Foundation with the reverse raffle. Buy a chance to win a 2010 Mustang Convertible or $25,000. Tickets are $100 each or six for $500, and the drawing will take place at the Friday night event. You need not be present to win.
They do things big in Texas, including the 2010 ARA Exposition. By early May, nearly three dozen exhibitors had already signed up even before the exhibitor prospectus was mailed!
Mike James, President of James Environmental Management in Round Rock, Texas, exhibiting for 15 years with ARA, explains why: "Being at the ARA Convention is an integral part of our business plan," he says. "It's an important event for us every year where we catch up with our existing customers and meet new ones. Over the years, they've become our friends, too."
There's no other event like the ARA Exposition, according to Steve Kriter, Vice President of Sales for Hollander, a Solera company, a long-time exhibitor and one of this year's Diamond Sponsors. "The ARA trade show is the automotive recycling industry's largest annual event. It is an excellent forum to showcase our product and services for our customers – automotive recyclers," he says. "Besides providing great networking opportunities, the show helps us keep a pulse on the latest trends in the industry."
For 2010, Kriter and Senior Product Manager Chris Andersen are looking forward to showcasing product innovations aimed at improving sales and profits for recyclers. Trade show attendees will have the opportunity to test drive Hollander e-Link, the company's new advanced e-commerce solution, and a new graphical parts identification tool that uses the Audatex parts identification system.
Jerry Brock, President of Brock Supply Co., is looking forward to the Austin Exposition in a special way. A loyal ARA member since 1968, when he owned an auto salvage operation, Brock this year celebrates his company's 50th year in business and the opening of their new Texas warehouse.
In honor of their golden anniversary and its long association with ARA, Brock Supply is a Diamond Sponsor for this year's show.
"We've been exhibiting with ARA since before there was a trade show," Brock recalls. "The first year, we mounted some photos on poster board and displayed it on an easel outside one of the meeting rooms. From then until now, it's always beneficial to our business to participate, and we have never missed a show." Look for Brock Supply's fully restored vintage tow truck on display in the exhibit hall in honor of the occasion.
Headquarters for the 67th Annual ARA Convention and Exposition is the beautiful and luxurious Renaissance Austin Hotel, a Marriott property. Situated in the Texas Hills Country about 18 miles from Austin Bergstrom International Airport and 20 minutes from downtown Austin, the Renaissance features Texas-sized guest rooms, 65,000 square feet of stateof-the-art meeting space, and upscale amenities including bars and restaurants, a pool, exercise room, and free Wi-Fi in the public areas.
You'll find a unique shopping experience as well, on-site at Austin's premier retail area, The Arboretum. Take time to enjoy the ambiance of this beautiful and relaxed park-like setting while you shop at more than 40 fine shops and restaurants. The Arboretum is ideal for strolling, shopping, and lunching surrounded by nature's landscape and Austin's landmark marble cow sculptures.
All spouses are invited to enjoy a lovely day on Thursday, October 21, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Zilker Botanical Garden. Situated on the south bank of the Colorado River, the public gardens provide a delight for the senses with diverse topography that includes a Green Garden, the Cactus and Succulent Garden, Hartman Prehistoric Garden, Herb and Fragrance Garden, the Isamu Taniguchil Oriental Garden, Mabel Davis Rose Garden, the Doug Blachly Butterfly Trail and Garden, and an interesting Pioneer Village. After the garden tour, enjoy a breathtaking view of Lake Travis during lunch at The Oasis, one of Austin's most delectable dining spots.

Covered call
The covered-call strategy of investing involves selling call options on a stock that you also own shares of for the long term. It's a way of trying to make a bit more money out of a stock in terms of generating some income now.
Expanded Definition
For income
Suppose you own shares of Company XYZ, but expect its price to stay flat or go up only a little in the near term. That is, you don't expect it to drop or rise significantly, but trade in a relatively stable band (say between $13 and $25 for the last several years). Rather than letting your shares languish, you can sell call options on some of your shares of the stock. (Remember that a single option covers a block of 100 shares, so you need to own at least that many for this to work.) The person who buys the options from you has the right (not the obligation) to buy your shares at the specified price (called a strike price) before a specified time (called the expiration date).
Let's suppose that the shares are currently trading around $15 right now. You would write (sell) the option for slightly higher, in this case $17.50 (strike prices occur in steps of $2.50 or $5, usually, depending on the share price). You would be paid a premium for that option.
Now, if the share price stays below $17.50, then the option expires worthless and you keep both the shares and the premium (the price paid for the option) and you can do the same thing again. If the shares rise above $17.50, they will probably be "called away" -- that is, the owner of the option will exercise it and buy your shares from you for $17.50 each. You can then purchase the shares again and repeat with a different option (say, buy at $18, sell the $20 call option).
The buyer of the call option pays you for the option and you keep that premium whether the buyer eventually buys the shares or lets the options expire.
For this strategy, aim for a 7% or so return within six months (for 15% annualized) if exercised (this includes the stock price difference) or at least a 5% six-month return if not exercised.
Another use of the covered call is when there is little downside risk, but not much upside potential in the near term, either. And you want to benefit a little bit while waiting for the stock to appreciate or your investment thesis to unfold.
Suppose you own the stock as part of your core portfolio. You don't expect much to happen with the stock in the near term, but you're not ready to sell yet, either. Sell a covered call to make the waiting a bit easier. But only do this if you wouldn't be too upset if the call is exercised and you have to sell the shares anyway. And, only do it if the return is worth your while.
For a better sale price
One last use is if you believe the stock is trading at or near its intrinsic value. If you want to sell at a particular price, but want to be paid for the privilege (and don't mind holding if it doesn't work out), you can use a covered call instead of a limit sell to generate a bit more cash out of the situation. Be careful though. First, you must want to sell it at that price. And, if the stock price is volatile, just sell it. You don't want to give up the chance of selling it just for a few bucks from an option.
The risk is that the share price could jump up a lot. Say you sold the $17.50 option and the price jumped to $22.50. The buyer of the option would buy the shares from you at $17.50 and you are out the $5 difference. Of course, you still got the premium and the gain from $15 to $17.50, so all is not lost.

Expert On Teen Homicide: We Need More Education
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on April 24, 2013 @ 7:22PM
Created on April 24, 2013 @ 5:45PM
What causes a young person to kill? That question has been brought up a lot recently, especially after the massacres in Boston, Sandy Hook Elementary, and the shooting at the Colorado movie theater.
On Wednesday a man who has earned the title as the leading authority on juvenile homicide spoke to a number of law enforcement and school administrators in Monongalia County.
Phil Chalmers has talked to more than 200 teen killers, school shooters, ad serial killers. He said to stop these incidents from happening again we need to know the warning signs that lead them to kill.
Chalmers trains police officers on teen murders. He said most of the young killers are guys, but besides that they don't fit into a profile.
However, in most cases there were warning signs to indicate that something bad was going to happen. Chalmers said every killer he's spoke with has been suicidal, into violent entertainment, and was the victim of a bully at sometime in their life. He said that's why it's so important to stay on top of what's going on in our kids lives. Chalmers said if we can all do that he believes we can limit how often these tragedies take place.
"They all say to me I really didn't want to shoot up my school, but I had no other option," Chalmers said. "I'm convinced that if we get more proactive we can intercept these kids before they kill."
Chalmers also added that we need to stop mentioning these killers so often. He said that's because kids who are considering do something like this look to these folks as heroes and as a way to become famous.

Generally dynamic, General Dynamics is a prime military contractor to the Pentagon (the US government accounts for about 70% of sales). The company's military operations include information systems & technology (information technology and collection, as well as command control systems); marine systems (warships, commercial tankers, and nuclear submarines); – more... and combat systems (battle tanks, wheeled combat/tactical vehicles, munitions, and rockets and gun systems). Its aerospace unit, which is composed of Gulfstream Aerospace and Jet Aviation designs, makes, and refurbishes business jets primarily for civilian customers.
Unlike some of its rivals who cater only to the military market that is at the mercy of government budgetary fluctuations, General Dynamics caters to military and civilian sectors, manufacturing both combat systems and high-tech systems, with each side buffering the other in times of market downturn. The Combat Systems division is composed of Armament and Technical Products; European Land Systems; Land Systems; and Ordnance and Tactical Systems.
General Dynamic's Marine Systems group is a major shipbuilder for the US Navy, and it provides MRO (maintenance/repair/overhaul) services to keep those vessels ship-shape. Marine systems manufactures the Virginia-class nuclear-powered submarine, the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer (DDG-51), and the Lewis and Clark-class dry cargo/ammunition combat-logistics ship (T-AKE). Subsidiary Electric Boat builds nuclear submarines (Seawolf, Ohio, and Los Angeles classes), while Bath Iron Works builds DDG-51 and DDG-1000 destroyers.
On the civilian side of the business, the company's Aerospace segment produces mid- and large-cabin business jet aircraft, for which the company provides maintenance, refurbishment, and outfitting.
Last, but not least -- serving both the military and civilian sides -- the company's information systems & technology business unit provides cyber security, tactical communication systems, sensors and cameras, ruggedized computers (for use in harsh environments, such as those with strong vibrations, extreme temperatures, and wet or dusty conditions), and antennas to customers in the DoD, the Department of Homeland Security, the intelligence community, federal civilian agencies, and international customers.
Year-over-year 2011 revenue rose .6%. Revenue decreased 3% for information systems and technology (34% of sales) due in part to less demand for ruggedized computing products. The only business group in that segment to enjoy an uptick was information technology services, which headed up about 8%. Tactical communication systems and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems went down 12% and about 5% respectively. It was the former business that was mainly affected by slower orders for ruggedized computing products, such as the Common Hardware/Software III (CHS-3) program.
Combat systems' 2011 year-over-year revenue decreased .6%. The segment's US military vehicle business struggled with less work for the Abrams tank, weaker orders for survivability enhancement kits for the Stryker, and a slowdown for the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle because the project was nearly completed. The segment accounts for 27% of sales.
Aerospace revenue (19% of sales) increased 13% thanks mainly to deliveries of 12 green (as opposed to already outfitted) G650 aircraft, a new model. The aircraft manufacturing, outfitting, and completion business of this segment similarly went up 13%. The aircraft services business of the aerospace segment rose 15% with an increase in activity of the air-travel sector.
Marine systems (20% of sales) sunk .7%. The segment struggled with lower activity for its ship-construction business but enjoyed more business from the Navy for engineering and repair programs.
For the civilian market Gulfstream has introduced two new jet models. The super-midsize G280, replacing the G200, boasts more cabin space than its predecessor and flies the longest range at the fastest speed in its class. The ultra-large-cabin G650 includes such luxuries as a handheld device for passengers that controls lighting, temperature, and other features for the cabin environment.
In the military market, though challenged by budget cuts in the US, General Dynamics is also enjoying more international sales. The company's combat systems segment has been making tracked combat vehicle hulls for export to Israel. Abrams tanks and Light Armored Vehicles are also in demand by US allies in the Middle East.
Though US defense spending is in decline -- with the President making a fiscal 2013 defense budget request of $525 billion, down from $531 billion in fiscal 2012 -- General Dynamics' business addresses programs that the military continues to emphasize, including the need for warfighters and the need to replace resources lost in Iraq and Afghanistan. As the first US submarine to be configured for a post-Cold War defense landscape, General Dynamics' Virginia-class submarine continues to meet needs of the US Navy.
In an effort to boost its commercial networking business, General Dynamics in mid-2012 acquired IPWireless (renamed General Dynamics Broadband), a manufacturer of broadband wireless infrastructure and network access equipment for customers that range from wireless operators to public safety organizations. The purchase will help General Dynamics specifically serve municipalities who are moving broadband public safety networks.
In 2011 the company acquired Massachusetts-based Fortress Technologies, a secure wireless networking equipment provider with a customer base that includes the US military and other government agencies. Fortress Technologies continues as part of General Dynamics C4 Systems. That same year General Dynamics acquired Vangent Holding Corp., parent company of Vangent, a leading provider of health care IT systems to federal agencies, in a cash transaction valued at about $960 million. – less

Many businesses are hiring college students, new graduates or interns to run their social media accounts. It is cost effective and certainly most young adults are well versed in all social media platforms. However, business owners must take into account what type of person they are choosing as the "face of their company". Choosing poorly or hastily can seriously damage your company's reputation.
Below are 2 necessities a business owner needs to bear in mind when choosing a Social Media Manager:
- A social media manager is the voice of the company. The way in which this person communicates will be visible through his or her posts. You want to hire someone whose personality coincides with the "tone" of your business. Do you run a childcare? Find someone who can understand what moms and dad want. Do you run a not-for-profit recovering alcoholics organization? Hire someone with a sensitive personality. If you own an Ice-Cream shop, hire a person with an out-going, young and fun persona. Don't assume that because the person is "good with computers" or because "they have a lot of followers", that he or she will automatically know how to market to your target audience.
- A Social Media Manager is the face of the company. Yes, your followers will see the profile of your Social Media Manager. This is often the most overlooked aspect of the hiring process. Business owners often think that the person they hire will be managing just the brand so followers will not see who the manager is. False. If your social media strategy is set correctly, your Social Media Manager will be posting in more places than just on your company profiles and will therefore have to use his or her personal profile. For example, "Pages" on Facebook cannot post to groups. This means that your manager will have to use their personal account to share your events, news, updates and blogs in industry related groups. The same goes for LinkedIn groups. If any of your followers click on the Social Media Manager's profile, they will be privy to all of his/her public status updates.
What does all this mean, and what should you expect from your Social Media Manager?
First, set rules. It is imperative that you keep a Social Media Contract for your manager (some companies do this for all employees). The contract should outline exactly how you expect the Social Media Manager to conduct him/herself as they represent your company.
This also includes what he/she posts on his/her personal account. If the Social Media Manager curses often on his/her profile, posts pictures of boozy nights out, or even complains about work, you need to either think twice about the hire or include these "no-no's" in the contract.

Hey Hoppy.Thanks,everybodys downloading but nobody is talking.It took me awhile and i finally got the hint and ordered an Axi(first brushless)and this is what its going in.I was going to try and form a semi symetrical wing for it.Dont know if it will make much of a differance but i've been wanting to try and make one out of depron anyway.So well see how it goes.Mike

Hey Mike.
Making a semi-symetrical wing is the worst thing you can do!!!!!
This is a precision aerobatic and 3D model, you want to make it neutral in every attitude.
A lot of people think that a "flat wing" is not working.
In practise with such a low airspeed it is working very well.
Buying the Axi is a good move though.
Im going with the AXI, but how will you mont an outrunner? would you use the radial mount?
I took a look at those plans and did some clean up but I have a few questions.
1. Is the top part of the fuse made from Part #4. I don't see it represented.
2. What is your intended wingspan?
3. Is the wing sheeted on top and bottom or just sheeted on bottom and 3 3mm strips on top, or both.
4. Do you mind if I create tabs on the 4 fuse top and bottom pieces and notches in the fuse to align everything in its place thought free.
Great looking design I am getting started this weekend on one.
P.S. I have tested bending Depron with some scrap pieces and a heat gun. Has anyone used this technique with a PVC pipe and wrapped it as you heated it successfully? I am going to try that soon and would like to hear from a voice of experience.
Note: this is a work in progress and hasn't been properly sized yet.
Here is the latest progress. I adjusted to a 32" wingspan for now.

Had an awesome flying session down the park this PM. This model rocks with the AXI 2212/34 on 3 cell lipos.
The first one I built had a EPP body. It flew well but that EPP was like holding onto a water balloon. LOL
This one is built according to the plans...3mm Depron. It is an excellent flyer. Inverted is neutral and it hovers very well. Glide landings are a snap. Just cut the power and it floats to the ground landing with about a 2' rollout.
Don't pass this one up if something other than a profile is to your liking.
Start with center fuselage part.
1. Draw a line on the inside of each fuselage piece that follows the bottom line of the wing cutout.
2. With a damp rag, moisten edge of center support piece and the area below the line you drew above.
3. Apply a thin coat of polyurethane glue to the center support piece edge from the front edge to where the width starts to narrow.
4. Fasten the center support to the fuselage right under the wing cutout using T-pins to hold it in place. Push pins thru fuselage sides and into center support piece. MAKE SURE center support is at a 90deg angle to fuselage.
5. Let the glue set (several hours).
6. Now glue the remainder of the support on again moistering the edges and pinning the sides to the center support piece.
7. Add what other supports are going inside. I added another center support above the wing cutout that holds a 1/8" carbon tube that holds the 3/8" square hardwood block that holds the GWS gearbox.
8. Line up the tail ends of both fuselage sides and the wing cutouts. Use a clamp to hold the tail pieces together.
9. Again moisten the areas to be glued. Apply a light coat of polyurethane glue to the front part of the center piece to where it starts to narrow. Line up with wing cutout and pin to center piece. Let set.
10. Remove clamp from tail pieces and apply glue to remaining length of center piece and across tail where the fuselage pieces come together. Again pin the fuselage to the center support and than reclamp the ends of the fuselage together. Make sure there isn't any wiggle in the end of the body.
For the top and bottom pieces, I just cut out pieces using the center template and using pins and PU glue, added them in.
Here's a picture of my mod to the plane. I used a EPP block to hold the battery pack and landing gear.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
Comfort Level - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
Credentials - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
Cost - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
City - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?

According to WSPA7, The man arrested in Greenville County in late 2013 for dragging a pit bull behind a pickup truck was sentenced to prison on July 15.
Although Roger Owens, 53, is the former owner of Andra Grace. Owens pleaded guilty, but didn't speak in his own defense involving the charges. He did tell Judge Letitia Verdin he was recently diagnosed with schizophrenia and is now taking medication for it.
Owens was sentenced to 5 years for cruelty to animals, 5 years for habitual traffic offender and 6 months for driving under suspension.
Facebook: Justice for Andra Grace posted a statement on their Facebook page following the sentencing
"VICTORY!!! Roger Owens received a total of 10.5 years in jail due to the charges of felony animal abuse as well as others. The judge said in all her years she has never seen anything so horrible. This is a huge step forward, as typically animal abuse gets a fine and little to no jail time. I really want to take this opportunity to give a HUGE shout out to Cynthia for everything she has done down in Greenville and for being the voice of SNARR and Andra. To Tina Adams, the sheriff's investigator, Julie Anders, the prosecutor and to the honorable Judge Verdin ....thank you for all of your hard work and not letting this be another case with no significant outcome. And of course to all of Andra's supporters....if we all ban together, we CAN make a change!!!"
Upstate animal advocate Cynthia Saracino spoke on behalf of SNARR animal rescue, who found Andra Grace a loving home in Florida, posted this victory on her Facebook page
"This entire situation has been so trying and also victorious in so many way. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Roger Owens is one person and Andra Grace is still only one dog. So let's not let this momentum die and let's move forward with the same passion and vigor - let's make our laws tougher, let's force enforcement and let's catch the other Roger Owens and let's do all that we can to make cruelty to any of God's living creatures stop."
WYFF4News reporter Angela Rodriguez said that Owens didn't speak before his sentencing and showed no remorse. His attorney said her client "was drunk" at the time of the incident.
Those who abuse animals beware. The community will no longer stand by quietly and look the other way to your actions towards animals. The Roger Owens case is only the first example of what can be expected to anyone in South Carolina who chooses to abuse an animal.
Prior articles for Examiner on the Roger Owens case are listed below.

Halloween Etiquette
As the popularity of Halloween grows every year - from supermarkets offering gory produce to pumpkin-carving and fancy-dress parties - follow our invaluable set of etiquette guidelines for Halloween.
With origins in Celtic paganism, Halloween originated as a festival marking the end of summer. Celebrated in Ireland, Wales and Scotland, celebrations involved lighting bonfires to ward off malignant spirits, while children went from door to door disguised as creatures from the underworld to collect treats.
Immigrants from the British Isles took the custom to North America. Turnips transmuted into pumpkins and the 'trick or treat' custom became more prominent. With the help of Hollywood and a host of horror films, Halloween has become entrenched in popular culture.
Top etiquette tips for Halloween trick or treaters:
- "Trick or treat?" should be used as an ice-breaking formula, not a real threat. Halloween fun should never feel menacing.
- Children should not be too greedy - if they are offered treats, make sure that they don't take too many and remember to say thank you.
- Stay safe. Make absolutely sure that children don't stray beyond agreed boundaries and wander into streets where they are knocking on strangers' doors.
- Remember, some households may not be as welcoming as others. If there's no answer, don't repeatedly ring the doorbell - move onto another house instead.
- If you don't mind giving out treats, but would prefer not to have visitors, leave some sweets or chocolate on your front door step and let trick or treaters help themselves.

Based in Edmonton, Alberta with regional sales representatives operating across the country, we are a dynamic team of individuals working with a common purpose: to support one of the most unique and thriving niche markets in the industry.
In partnership with the Canadian University Press (CUP) alumni and former Gateway business staff Ashleigh Brown and Vikram Seth, the independent national advertising agency FREE has created a new division called FREE Media to focus on representing campus press in the national market. Our wealth of professional resources and years of experience working in this industry provides both papers and clients with the benefit of our first-hand understanding of campus media.
Campus press is no stranger to difficult times. Shortly after taking the helm as Business Manager of The Gateway– official student newspaper at the University of Alberta and the largest operation of its kind in Canada– Ashleigh discovered her new home to be on the brink of insolvency due to issues stemming from poor oversight and lack of operational controls.
Within two years, a $50,000 deficit became a $50,000 surplus in an organization that had expanded its editorial output and focus, as well as its impact and visibility on campus.
In his time as The Gateway's Sales Manager, Vik was able to reverse the trend of a decline in print advertising and drive net local print sales to nearly $300,000 annually, implementing an online strategy in 2010 that saw sales double each year to over $20,000 in 2013.
Together, this dynamic duo holds a unique understanding of both the strengths and weaknesses of the market they represent. In partnering with FREE Advertising, Vik and Ashleigh bridge the gap between a professional advertising agency and a vibrant campus press community that believes the only rule for papers is that rules are meant to be broken—with the exception of the CP Style Guide, of course.
Unlike many external agencies, FREE Media was created to focus solely on the representation and interests of campus press. This is an agency created by and for our community.
Trying to connect with students around the country can be difficult. But booking a national campaign through dozens of campus media outlets? Now that's near impossible. As the preferred partner of the Canadian University Press, FREE Media acts as your ideal gateway to a broad and captive audience.

It may not be possible to travel 20,000 leagues under the sea in search of the giant squid. Well, at least for anyone who isn't James Cameron. So welcome this cutie-pie octopus into your tub. This TokyoMilk Bubble Bath ($22) luckily smells nothing like the sea creature itself, but instead like linden, rose, wisteria, and white musk. Attracting that fabled merman just got easier.

Plants Vs Zombies: Garden Warfare will be the latest in a series of cross-generational titles when it releases to the Xbox One and Xbox 360 in February. PopCap Games talked about what the next-gen console has to offer compared to the current-gen in an exclusive interview with Examiner.
"Obviously having more power is a big one," PopCap Producer Brian Lindley said when asked about the biggest differences between the Xbox One and Xbox 360. "It's amazing; we've been working on these current-generation platforms for eight years now. The games look great, but just taking that next leap in terms of resolution and frame rate that you can get with the extra processing power is probably the biggest thing.
"The thing that excites me the most about Xbox One and the new platforms is how a lot of the online and social ecosystem features are building up within the platforms, and not just within the games themselves. Things like the game DVR, the party system, and stuff like that where a lot of games on Xbox 360 and PS3 had to build a lot of that stuff. It's now coming to life in the platform, as opposed to just individual games and I think that's the most exciting thing. People can share video of their experiences with a couple clicks," he continued.
"I worked originally on the Escape franchise for EA, just to digress a minute. We built our own video sharing feature directly into the game, but we had to build all of that ourselves, and now that's just the kind of thing you get free with these new platforms, which is pretty exciting."
The extra power of the Xbox One also allows for two exclusive features to the console, local split-screen co-op and the Boss Mode, which is like Battlefield 4's Commander Mode that can be played with a tablet.
Plants Vs Zombies: Garden Warfare is due out Feb. 18 for the Xbox One and Xbox 360.

Considered to be England's finest brand of fine china dinnerware, Wedgwood China will transform your dining experience into a chic, stylish and elegant treat your guests are bound to enjoy. Founded in 1759 by Josiah Wedgwood, often referred to as the "Father of English Fine China". Wedgwood has established itself as the world's finest producer of Wedgwood fine china dinnerware, as well as flatware, silverware, vases, bowls and decorative ornaments. We offer the largest selections of Wedgwood china plates, bowls, cups and saucers, tea pots and complete china dinnerware sets.
Considered to be England's finest brand of china, Wedgwood China has endured the centuries and continued to create excellent china products with design elements that transcend a continuously changing range of styles. Founded in 1759 by Josiah Wedgwood remembered as 'the Father of English Potters', was born in Burslem, Staffordshire, in the heart of the English potteries. He served his apprenticeship as a potter before setting up his own business in 1759. By 1766 he had prospered sufficiently to build a new factory which he named Etruria. Josiah was to sow the first seeds of the innovative spirit which continues to be an integral part of Wedgwood. Wedgwood China grew into an industry unto itself when in the 1700's, Josiah created a cream colored earthenware that was dubbed "Queen's Ware." Queen Charlotte of England has so admired Wedgwood pieces that this particular color of china gained permission from the Queen to be called as such., he also invented and produced what remain today three of Wedgwood's most famous ceramic bodies – in addition to Queen's Ware (1762), he developed Black Basalt (1768) and finally Jasper (1774) (known today as Jasperware). In the nineteenth century, important progress was made at the Wedgwood factory in the use of new machinery, the introduction of the first colored earthenware bodies and, most importantly, the manufacture of bone china. Wedgwood bone china tableware was to grace the tables of many illustrious homes throughout the world, including the dinner service which President Theodore Roosevelt ordered for the White House. During the 1930's, when many English potteries were forced to close down due to unfavorable conditions, Wedgwood's success continued and in order to increase efficiency, the fifth Josiah Wedgwood decided to build a new factory. A country estate near the village of Barlaston was purchased and a new, modern factory was built. Production started in the 1940's and since then, the factory has expanded to four times its original size. It is the British pottery industry's most up-to-date factory. Here, Wedgwood continues its living tradition of progress in design, in production methods and in the skills of its many craftspeople. Throughout the ages, Wedgwood has undergone a myriad of styles that have solidified their place in the china industry. From the truly classic lines of Amherst, Celestial and Crown Platinum to the contemporary patterns and clean lines of Grand Gourmet, Nantucket Basket and The Painted Garden. Wedgwood China has a design element that will suit a range of styles and tastes. With a genuinely full line of carefully crafted, high quality china, no style has been left out of these collections. Deep dark hues stand alone or are mixed with clean white perfection and intricately ornate designs ring the outsides of many collections for a selection so wide, it is awe-inspiring. With collections that range from the unmatched opulent to the brilliantly simple, Waterford Wedgwood china is perhaps the widest and most respected lines of china in the world. The creation of such timeless pieces as Wedgwood Jasperware (also know as Wedgwood Jasper) and other designs has secured their place as a trusted and well-known supplier of high quality china. In 1986, Wedgwood China became a division of Waterford Crystal and is now referred to as Waterford Wedgwood. This alliance has not compromised any aspect of Wedgwood's quality and design, as they remain a steadfast product in the china marketplace.

Since it's 2004 launch, Facebook has gone through some serious changes. What began as a social platform for college students to interact with one another, first peer to peer on campus, then stretching out to different universities across America has vastly changed. In fact, it's somewhat of an antithesis from which it began. Exclusive, private and lawless Facebook began and for it's initial years was the exclusive club anyone without a college email couln't get into.
No baby pictures. No engagement photos. No sponsored stories or BuzzFeed quizes. Facebook was essentially a platform for college kids to browse, poke and in time communicate. What was once the cool club is still the standard of social platforms, now just comes with more baggage and more of a nanny-cam for parents, big brands and potential work suiters to cyber-stalk. Progress, I guess, but Facebook's will to stay relevant is to keep the wheels moving, Changing, evolving. Acquiring new innovative start ups like Instagram that could potentially make Facebook the Myspace of 2014. This year is going to be a tipping point for the decade old revolutionary network. It's their move to stay innovative or become another ubiquitous social channel lost in the internet abyss.
Here is a timeline of Facebook in it's decade long run.

I am glad I found this article it gives me hope. I have been growing my hair out for 5 months now and its at that stage where I am getting offers from colorists off the street about discounts on getting my hair done. I guess in L.A. it's hard to comprehend the going gray.
I am 55 and 2 of my younger sisters have done this and look beautiful. I made the decision without consulting the man I am dating. And he told me the other day that he thought the gray hair was sexy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Ethics Education in Science
and Engineering (EESE) (NSF 11-018)
The following FAQs pertain to the Ethics
Education in Science and Engineering (EESE) program.
Question: What type(s) of inter-organizational collaborations
is NSF encouraging?
Answer: The EESE Program expects that proposers will put together
the best team possible to carry out the project. Simultaneously,
EESE encourages research-intensive and -extensive universities
to partner with other types of colleges and universities, especially
ones serving underrepresented minority populations.
Question: If multiple organizations are cooperating in the proposed
project, what are the mechanisms for submitting a proposal?
Answer: NSF has two mechanisms for submission of proposals from
multiple organizations: as a single proposal, in which a single
award is being requested (with subawards administered by the lead
organization); or by simultaneous submission of proposals from
different organizations, with each organization requesting a separate
award. In either case, the lead organization's proposal must
contain all of the requisite sections as a single package to be
provided to reviewers (that will happen automatically when procedures
below are followed). All collaborative proposals must clearly describe
the roles to be played by the other organizations, specify the
managerial arrangements, and explain the advantages of the multi-organizational
effort within the project description.
These collaborative proposals are described more fully in Section
II.D.4 of the NSF Grant Proposal Guide (GPG) (http://nsf.gov/pubsys/ods/getpub.cfm?gpg).
The GPG also includes instructions for submission of these types
of proposals.
Question: One of the organizations involved in our project is
in an EPSCoR state. How do we get EPSCoR certification?
Answer: Certification is no longer required
as part of the EPSCoR co-funding process. Eligibility for co-funding
is automatic if a collaborative proposal involving an organization
located in an EPSCoR jurisdiction is submitted according to the
instructions provided in Section II.D.3.b of the NSF Grant Proposal
Guide (http://nsf.gov/pubsys/ods/getpub.cfm?gpg).
Question: My question is not in this list and is not answered
in the solicitation. What should I do?
Answer: Send e-mail to: email@example.com.
Question: What organizations are eligible to apply?
Answer: Only accredited U.S. colleges or universities
or U.S. professional associations are eligible to apply to this
program. Other types of organizations can be included only as non-lead
collaborators or sub-awardees. In addition, U.S. colleges and universities
and U.S. professional associations can be non-lead collaborators
or sub-awardees. Professional associations include non-profit organizations
like science or engineering societies and educational consortia.
Trade associations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are
not professional associations, and are not eligible to apply. Trade
associations and NGOs may be involved as sub-awardees or in consultant
or advisory roles in proposals.
Question: Are government labs or for-profit organizations allowed
to submit EESE proposals?
Answer: Only accredited U.S. colleges or universities and U.S.
professional associations may submit proposals for this competition.
Question: The Engineering College in my university would like
to submit a separate proposal from one being developed in the College
of Arts and Sciences. Is this allowed?
Answer: No. This violates the restriction of one proposal per
organization. If we receive more than one proposal from an organization,
the organization will have a week from notification to select one
for consideration. If one is not selected in that time, all proposals
will be returned without review. An organization may be included
as a non-lead collaborator or sub-awardee on any number of proposals.
Question: Can organizations outside the U.S. apply?
Answer: The EESE Program encourages international collaborations.
The topic of ethics education in science and engineering crosses
national boundaries. Many international students come to do graduate
work in science and engineering in U.S. universities. The typical
expectation is that investigators on a project team will receive
funding from their own countries' funding agencies. especially
if the international collaboration is with researchers in developed
countries (e.g., Europe, Britain, Japan) that have substantial
resources of their own. The eligibility rules for submission to
EESE do allow researchers outside of the U.S. to apply indirectly
- either as consultants on a lead proposal or as subawards. In
both cases, justification is required of the unique capabilities
offered or the specific research needs that will be accomplished.
No indirect costs are allowed for foreign organizations. In addition,
it is expected that the international budget will be small, relative
to the overall size of the project budget.
Question: Are graduate students or unaffiliated researchers eligible
to apply to EESE?
Answer: Graduate students and unaffiliated researchers may be
included on EESE proposals. Graduate students should not be included
as PI, co-PI, or senior personnel. Unaffiliated researchers need
to go through an eligible organization to be involved in the EESE
competition. (See the answers to the previous questions.)
Question: Will proposals addressing medical or biomedical ethics
be considered?
Answer: No, the EESE program will not consider proposals focused
on ethics for medical students or in medical education. The EESE program does, however, encourage proposals that address ethical issuses related to medical informatics or systems engineering. EESE will
not consider proposals that will start or provide incremental improvements
to formal or informal educational activities responsive to Federal
mandates for research integrity or human-subjects training requirements.
Question: Is a program for graduate students of pharmacy (or
veterinary medicine) eligible for EESE support?
Answer: NSF does not support research in clinical aspects of
this field, so a project focused primarily on this audience would
be of lower priority for NSF support.
Question: Will proposals addressing ethics and the social and
behavioral sciences be considered?
Answer: Yes, the EESE program considers proposals focused on
ethics and the social and behavioral sciences. It considers proposals
focused on any of the areas in science or engineering that NSF
supports. This includes history and philosophy of science, science
and technology studies, and studies of ethics and science, engineering,
and technology as well as studies of policy, science, engineering
and technology.
Question: Will proposals addressing issues of ethics and international
science and engineering be considered?
Answer: Yes. The EESE program will consider proposals focused
on ethical issues in graduate education in science and engineering
in an international context. These involve ethical issues for international
students and faculty in U.S. graduate education, ethical issues
in graduate education for international careers, and issues of
ethics arising in the context of international practice.
Question: I have not incorporated a plan to test the educational
activities in my project at another institution. Will my proposal
be eligible for consideration?
Answer: Yes, it will be eligible. But panelists will be asked
to keep in mind the criterion of testing at another institution
in evaluating the submissions. They are likely to assign better
ratings to otherwise similar proposals with these plans.
Question: My ethics center has indicated an interest in working
with me on a seminar series as part of the project, but we have
not yet determined how many sessions would be useful or what the
subjects for the sessions would be. Can I submit with this left
Answer: Yes, you can submit. However, reviewers are likely to
assign better ratings to otherwise similar proposals with carefully
worked-out plans that specify project team members' responsibilities,
what the educational activities will be, who will undertake them,
and how the results will be evaluated.
Question: My question is not in this list and is not answered
in the solicitation. What should I do?
Question: How will the EESE funds be divided across the NSF directorates
and different subject areas of the solicitation?
Answer: We do not make a priori funding decisions across the
subject areas. EESE is an interdisciplinary activity involving
many Directorates, and many awards receive funds from several Directorates.
Decisions about funding are made after the proposals are reviewed,
and after all Directorates have a chance to determine which proposals
are the most interesting and promising to them. If the proposals
in some particular area are of unusually high quality, that area
may attract more money than expected in advance.
Question: Is there a limit to the amount of funds I can request
for my proposal?
Answer: There is no official limit. The budget for this competition
is $3 million, and the program expects to make around 6 to 10
awards, with amounts not exceeding $300,000. Investigators should
be aware that if they submit proposals with requests that far exceed
that amount, reviewers and NSF program officials may question the
feasibility of their doing the project with less funding. Projects that include partnerships (for example, between universities and scientific societies) for the purpose of disseminating best practices in graduate ethics education will be eligible for a maximum award amount of $400,000.
Question: Can funds be used for graduate stipends or tuition
Answer: Yes, EESE proposals may request support in all the usual
NSF budget categories.
Question: When will the announcement of the grant awards be made,
and how soon afterward would you expect a program to begin?
Answer: We plan to communicate with successful applicants by
July and expect awards under this solicitation to be made by end
of summer. Grantees would have some flexibility in when they actually
start their grant-supported activities; you should request a starting
date that makes most sense to you. That is one item that can be
negotiated if necessary after the proposal has been reviewed.
Answer: Send e-mail to:firstname.lastname@example.com.
Question: Can I be a member of the panel that will review EESE
proposals this year?
Answer: If you are on an EESE proposal submitted this year, then
you cannot be a panelist this year. If you did not submit an EESE
proposal this year in response to the current solicitation, you
may volunteer to be a panelist. If you want to volunteer, notify
the Program Officer in the list of contacts who is closest to your
field of research. Include a URL for your biosketch and a brief
description of your research expertise in your e-mail. The program
officer will contact you if your area of expertise is relevant
and we need panelists in that area. If you don't see anyone
in the list of contacts who you feel is appropriate, send the information
to email@example.com.
Question: What needs to be included in the Project Summary?
Answer: The NSF Grant Proposal Guide (GPG) (available at http://nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=gpg)
specifies that the Project Summary must clearly address, in separate
statements within the one-page limit, both the broader impacts
and the intellectual merit. Proposals that do not address both
merit-review criteria in separate statements in the project summary
will be returned without review. The GPG also states that the broader
impacts must be addressed in the Project Description and described
as an integral part of the narrative.
Question: Some of the work on our proposal is being done by a
graduate student who will not be a co-PI. How should that work
be reported?
Answer: Graduate students should
be involved as project assistants as well as recipients of program activities
or subjects of research. Therefore, whether or not the student
will participate if your project is funded, it may be advantageous
to include this student and her/his contribution to the proposal
in your description of the project team.
Question: Our project has an advisory board with members representing
three neighboring institutions. Would cross-listing the course
that we develop satisfy the requirement for testing in more than
one institution, or would we have to rotate it among the institutions?
Answer: The requirement for testing educational
activities in more than one institution is intended to ensure that
NSF-supported activities are exportable beyond the institutional
context in which they were developed. It also includes collecting
and analyzing data that will provide measures of success. If one
faculty member or a team developed the course and offered it at
one institution, and students at all three institutions could sign
up, that would not constitute a sufficient test, even if there
were evaluation plans. An appropriate test might offer it independently
at one or more of the other institutions, with previously uninvolved
faculty members and students. It would include assessment plans.
Merely rotating the course among the three institutions, with substantially
the same group of faculty members offering it and assessing results
at each institution, might not constitute a sufficiently independent
test of its feasibility and effectiveness beyond those institutions.
Question: Would testing a project activity at another college
in the same institution satisfy the statement in the solicitation
that project activities should be tested in more than one institution?
Answer: Testing the activities at several colleges
(or perhaps even departments) in one institution would be better
than doing it just at one, but all other things being equal the
proposal is unlikely to receive as high priority for support as
would one that satisfies the requirement for inter-institutional
Question: Can a project propose to create an ethics-training
program that leads to a graduate degree?
Answer: Yes, provided that there is a clearly stated plan to
test the program's feasibility, or that of relevant program
components, at more than one institution.
Question: Can a project include developing a Web site (or augmenting
an existing one)?
Answer: Yes, provided that the work performed
is in line with the objectives set out in the solicitation. Proposals
solely to develop or expand Web sites are unlikely to be competitive.
Competitive proposals would incorporate Web-site development (if
that is an aspect of their plans) with other outreach and dissemination
Question: Do citations and references count against
the Project Description page limit?
Answer: No. They should be included in the References
Cited section of the proposal.
Question: May I submit the same proposal to EESE and to another
NSF program?
Answer: No. A unique proposal can be submitted
only once to NSF. If the proposal is a duplicate of or substantially
similar to a proposal already under consideration by NSF, it will
be returned without review.
Question: Can I request an extension of time to submit a proposal?
Answer: No.
Question: What if FastLane or my university computer is unavailable
on the submission deadline?
Answer: Please avoid this problem by submitting
early. If you choose not to submit until the last minute, it is
at your own risk.
Question: What if there is an earthquake, fire
or other disaster?
Answer: Please contact us at email@example.com immediately.
We will make determinations on a case-by-case basis.
Question: What if listing my five most recent relevant papers
would take more than two pages because these papers have many authors?
Answer: The two-page limit dominates over the need to include
the entire list of authors for your relevant publications. If your
publications include large numbers of co-authors and you choose
to list all of the co-authors, you likely will be able to list
only a few papers. Instead, you may want to list only the first
few authors and add text reference to additional authors, such
as "Jane Doe, Soo Kim, and 26 other authors, including <Your
Question: How do we submit supplementary documents?
Answer: Supplementary documents that are in accordance with the
solicitation should be scanned into the Special Information and
Supplementary Documentation section of the FastLane proposal.
Question: Why is the Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic
Sciences (SBE) the only one to appear as an option on the NSF
cover sheet in FastLane? I normally apply to Geosciences and
my proposal deals primarily with Geosciences.
Answer: The SBE Directorate is coordinating
the management of all proposals submitted to EESE. Program Officers
from all Directorates will participate in the management of EESE
proposals that fall into their areas of expertise. They will participate
in the panelist-selection and proposal-assignment processes.

Scarlett Johansson has always taken on a wide variety of roles from her big budget turn as Black Widow or in smaller films like Don Jon. Lately she has been taking on roles in smaller films like her latest Under the Skin from Sexy Beast director Jonathan Glazer, that takes her in directions not typically seen from her, but does it deliver enough to make it out of this world?
Under the Skin follows A female alien comes to Scotland to replace a deceased alien. She drives a van through the roads and streets seducing lonely men to process their bodies. Soon the emotionless alien sees her human form in a mirror and she experiences the human emotions and feelings coming to a tragic discovery. From the opening sequence of this movie you know this is going to be a strange film. The director took a simple concept and instead making a throwaway average sci-fi film, opted to do something a bit out there and it works. Most of the filming was apparently done in a more gorilla style with some of the people in the film just normal people instead of actors that makes for numerous interesting exchanges between Johansson and the people. At times the film is all over the place and it sports very little dialogue to help it flow, but somehow still manages to deliver. As a sci-fi film it is very much like those of the 70s that seem ahead of their time attempting things that people will just no understand, which in turn will make it hard for some people to get into. Johansson gives a great performance that is haunting, strange and sexy all at once. Her lack of emotion and subtle approach to the sexy character is excellent and helps this film be more than just an artsy film and instead something more intriguing and original. There aren't too many visual effects, but the few that they use as well as the stylized sets used for the alien worlds work great and add to the bizarre nature of it all.
This is one of those movies that is likely to split people right down the middle either enjoying it or hating it. Like it or not there is no doubt that this is an original film that stands apart from most everything out there in a good way. If you choose to give this film a chance then open your mind and let it all sink in and stick with it. There is an interesting growth and direction for the character with an ending that works great and is a bit ironic helping this film to cement the subtle brilliance of it all if you get it.

In the past six seasons in a Minnesota Timberwolves uniform, Kevin Love has become the face of the Minnesota Timberwolves franchise. Minnesota Timbewolves fans and NBA fans a like have even compared his talents to the great Wes Unseld. Kevin Love has been the all-star that everyone in Minnesota has hoped would come around since the franchise traded away Kevin Garnett. Although he has been a bright light in an otherwise dark alley that is the Minnesota Timberwolves franchise, he is now on the verge of completing his contract with the Timberwolves. He has one year left on his contract with the Timberwolves, and has publicly stated that he is not wanting to renew or extend his contract with the franchise. So what now? The Timberwolves can't actually believe that getting rid of Kevin Love, our most inspiring player since Kevin Garnett, is the best option for the team? Luckily, there is a great option available for both Love and the Timberwolves to make both happy with the current situation in Minnesota.
ESPN.com reported that the Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors were in talks to trade Kevin Love and Kevin Martin of the Timberwolves for shooting guard Klay Thompson, Power Forward David Lee, and the Golden State Warriors first round draft pick of the Golden State Warriors. http://espn.go.com/blog/marc-stein/post/_/id/2560/warriors-add-thompson-to-love-talks
Not only is this a great trade for Kevin Love, who is from the west coast of the United States and who attended UCLA for college, but it is a great trade for the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves are lacking in solid shooting guards on their roster, with Kevin Martin as the only true shooting guard. The Timberwolves would also get a highly effective power forward who could contribute immediately in David Lee. The first round pick could then be used to add depth to the squad, someone who could spread the game out as an effective 3 point shooter, like Nic Stauskas of Michigan or Gary Harris of Michigan State. Although the Timberwolves would prefer to hang on to Kevin Love, given that Kevin Love wants to leave and that he is high demand now, it is a good a time as any to look into getting high quality players to replace Kevin Love. Although it would be a sad day for Minnesota Timberwolves fans to see Kevin Love leave Minnesota, this trade is as good as it gets for replacing the face of the Minnesota Timberwolves franchise.

Can Capital Gains Tax Be Carried Over to the Next Year?
Original post by Alexis Lawrence of Demand Media
The profits from many non-cash financial holdings, including stock, do not get taxed as income on your yearly tax return. Instead, these earnings are considered capital gains. Taxes on capital gains cannot be carried over to the next year. Capital losses, however, can be carried over, which can help offset each year's gains.
Capital Gains
Any property that you buy solely for investment purposes, including shares of stock, bonds and real estate, is considered a capital asset. These capital assets do not generally incur tax liabilities prior to the selling of the asset, although some exceptions do exist. If you receive dividends from a stock during the course of a tax year, for instance, these dividends become part of your income, and all real estate holdings are subject to property taxes each year.
Capital Gains Tax
The fact that sales of stocks and other financial holdings are kept separate from normal wages is beneficial to a taxpayer, because the maximum tax rate on capital gains remains is only 15 percent, as of 2011. The tax rate for wages earned through employment, on the other hand, tops out at 35 percent as of 2011. So, if you are in the top tax bracket, all of your earnings get taxed at the 35 percent rate, while any capital gains earned get taxed at the lower 15 percent rate.
Capital Gains on Your Return
When you sell an investment property for a gain during a tax year, you must report the entire capital gain on your tax return. You cannot split up the profits and pay only a portion of the tax in the tax year in which you make the sale and then carry over the balance of the gain. You report the entire capital gain by filling out Schedule D of the standard Form 1040 tax return form.
Capital Losses
Unlike capital gains, capital losses have a yearly limit. If you lose money on the sale of an investment, such as a stock or real estate property, you can report only $3,000 of that loss as a capital loss in a single tax year as of 2011. Report capital losses on your tax return just as you report capital gains, by completing Schedule D of Form 1040. Capital losses in a tax year are subtracted from the year's capital gains and you pay taxes on the net gain.

Mary Valle: All I really want for Christmas is to watch "The Exorcist" with Fr. Gabriele Amorth. I also want to thank him profusely for pointing out a few things that actually are kind of true. Who hasn't been in a yoga class and "breathing" into some pose and thought "This shit is EVIL!" I know I sure have. Yoga is great, don't get me wrong. But come on. It's kinda evil. Who expected us to get into stretch-jersey bellbottoms and point our asses skyward in public en masse, before our current era? Excuse me, the current year of Our Lord? Yoga is optional, you might say. Is it, now. Is it really? Uh-huh. Didn't think so. "Try doing it in a cassock!" said Fr. Amorth, in an interview I didn't have with him. "That **** is *****."
And Harry Potter! As someone who has listened to the entire series and is now making her way through the movies with a younger associate, it's kinda evil too. Not Harry, of course. But Voldemort and all his friends and associates. Evil as they come, Fr. Armorth. In fact, Valdemort is so evil a lot of the characters won't even say his name. Take that, Satan/Lucifer/Beezebub/etc.! Where do you stand on Twilight, sir? I think you might find it is also….evil, if you don't like magical powers or supernatural creatures or immortal stalkers who prey on teenage girls. Oh wait.
