Former Cal Fire battalion chief, Orville Fleming, admitted to murdering his girlfriend. Escaping capture kept Fleming on the run two weeks until he was arrested Friday, News 10 reports.
Orville "Moe" Fleming confessed his actions to authorities, Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones said in a press conference. Jones said the former fire chief "admitted culpability in the stabbing of Ms. (Sarah June) Douglas on May 1st."
The killer was interviewed by homicide detectives wanting to know where he was hiding out. The truck was within a few miles from where he was arrested and taken into custody. Fleming lacked a good plan, so his intentions to remain hidden were short-term, Det. Brian Meux said. It was a "reactive" state of mind, it appeared.
When Orville Fleming was caught, he shaved off his mustache and had been living in heavy brush near a small canal in an Elk Grove neighborhood. He hadn't eaten for days and once attempted to buy some clothes.
"He did the fleeing equivalent of curling up in the fetal position and just hunkering down," Jones said.
Law enforcement have aggressively been looking for Fleming since Sarah June Douglas, 26, was found dead from stab wounds. She was also strangled. She moved in with Fleming, 55, after he met her as an escort online.
Detectives followed up on leads that were as far away as Oregon. A number of escorts, exes, and family members of Fleming's were questioned.
Douglas' aunt, Trina Werly, gave this statement after Fleming's arrest:
Sarah's family is relieved that Orville Fleming has been caught. We're grateful for the opportunity for the truth to come out so that our family can have closure and move on. Thank you."
Cal Fire spokesman Daniel Berlant issued this statement about Fleming's arrest:
"We are pleased that this search is over and the Sheriff's Office has apprehended Mr. Fleming. We will continue to support the Sheriff and the District Attorney in any way we can as the judicial process continues."

On April 23, ESPN personality Mike Golic attended the exclusive premiere of the "We Could Be King" documentary, during the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. According to research, it is shown that students who play sports are fifty percent more likely to attend class, and are more likely to graduate and attend college; yet funding for sports programs in schools nationwide are being cut. Tribeca Digital Studios and The Dick's Sporting Goods Foundation partnered to present the Judd Ehrlich directed documentary "We Could be King" which looks at the issue of how sports programs and how budget cuts affect inner city students by focusing on Philadelphia's Martin Luther King Jr. High School's Cougars football team.
Last night "King" was screened at the Sunshine Cinemas at which the Cougars and their coach Ed Dunn, who were featured in the film along with actor Michael B. Jordan (who starred in the football themed series "Friday Night Lights") and athlete Victor Cruz were in attendance. It was explained in the documentary that Dunn took over coaching duties after being laid off from his teaching job due to budget cuts, and made it his mission to help the Cougars break their two year losing streak. Further complicating Dunn's efforts was the fact that rival high school Germantown was forced to merge with MLK Jr. High School and the Cougars after Germantown became one of 37 Philadelphia schools to be closed due to budget cuts.
Besides Dunn, the main characters of the documentary are Cougar players and Martin Luther King Jr. students Dontae Angus who at 6'6 quickly becomes one of the team's star defensive players struggles with academic challenges which threaten to derail his football success, and Salvatore (Sal) Henderson whose football dreams are also greatly threatened by being in the wrong place at the wrong time which leads him on a path of becoming another statistic—a youth of color in the prison system.
Young high school athletes will be sure to relate to some of the students profiled in the documentary such as Donte's struggle with overcoming academic troubles and learning to accept one's own body image. The film also serves to open the eyes of the powers that be at Philadelphia's school board on the impact that sports like football have on educational success.
In an effort to stress the importance of sports programs in schools Dick's Sporting Goods Foundation presented Philadelphia school district Superintendent William Hite with $250,000 check as a donation — through a "Sports Matter" mission to keep high-school sports funded.
After the screening, continuing the celebration of the power of sports and togetherness, guests gathered at The Jazz Room at The General for the official after party.

Suzu's flakes of salt
Cook It Raw 2011 - Road to Raw, episode 5
Can you make gastronomy and ecology go together? A dozen international chefs who met in Copenhagen two years ago have set out precisely to ask this question, but also to give answers to it. On the fringes of the world summit on global warming, they rose to the challenge of composing a meal based on local ingredients using as little energy as possible.
Result: an unprecedented meal, uncooked, which took nothing away from the original taste of the products.
The experience of this crude cooking, almost "raw", caused deep reflection on the future of our diet, and equally on our food. It also gave rise to a movement: Cook It Raw, which takes our chefs from destination to destination, close to the land, flavours and people.
Frioul, in Italy, then welcomed our "taste adventurers". Then Lapland, where the challenge was even greater: it comprised, in effect, composing a unique meal based on products which were harvested, fished and hunted on the spot! A new adventure awaits them now in Japan. In mid-November they are going to touch down in Tokyo, before going on to Ishikawa prefecture on the east coast of Honshu. Nespresso, privileged partner of a movement which is close to these values, as humane as it is environmental, is once again on board.
Amongst other island treasures, the Cook It Raw team is expected on the Suzu coast, an area situated in the extreme east of the Noto peninsula, a projection of lush land which seems to defy the waves of the Japanese sea.
There, at the foot of terraced rice paddies, which sculpt the chiselled appearance of the fields, survives a small community of salt workers, who often work as a family. It's a job which has nearly disappeared in Japan as it's a narrow piece of coastal land between the sea and the mountain. Another difficulty is that the low salinity of the sea water which stops the job from being carried out as it is in the classic salt marshes. This feature requires the producers, remaining faithful to the methods of their ancestors, to filter the sea water across a vast field of sand. A field which is reminiscent of the famous dry gardens (karesansui) or Japanese zen gardens, composed of sand on which you draw, with the help of a rake, stylised waves to evoke the absence of the water.
The work that you can see on this film is long, repetitive and very physical. It's almost a fight to drag from the waves a little of this snow, these precious flakes of salt which will season the dishes of the greatest restaurants in the country. Extracting the salt, the essence of the sea and the mountains of this traditional land, is what the chefs have come to do in Ishikawa.
The story does not say whether they too will have to water the field of sand for hours before harvesting what they need to season their meal…

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Esophageal cancer is cancer that develops in the esophagus, the muscular tube that connects the throat to the stomach. The esophagus, located just behind the trachea, is about 10 to 13 inches in length and allows food to enter the stomach for digestion. The wall of the esophagus is made up of several layers and cancers generally start from the inner layer and grow out.
The American Cancer Society estimates that 16,470 Americans will be newly diagnosed with esophageal cancer during 2008, and 14,280 deaths are expected.
No one knows exactly what causes esophageal cancer. At the top of the esophagus is a muscle, called the sphincter, that releases to let food or liquid go through. The lower part of the esophagus is connected to the stomach. Another muscle is located at this connection that opens to allow the food to enter the stomach. This muscle also works to keep food and juices from the stomach from backing into the esophagus. When these juices do back up, reflux, commonly known as heartburn, occurs.
Long-term reflux can change the cells in the lower end of the esophagus. This condition is known as Barrett's esophagus. If these cells are not treated, they are at much higher risk of developing into cancer cells.
There are two main types of esophageal cancer. The most common type of esophageal cancer, known as adenocarcinoma, develops in the glandular tissue in the lower part of the esophagus, near the opening of the stomach. It occurs in just over 50 percent of cases.
Squamous cell carcinoma grows in the cells that form the top layer of the lining of the esophagus, known as squamous cells. This type of cancer can grow anywhere along the esophagus.
Treatment for both types of esophageal cancer is similar.
Often, there are no symptoms in the early stages of esophageal cancer. Symptoms do not appear until the disease is more advanced. The following are the most common symptoms of esophageal cancer. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of esophageal cancer may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
There is no routine screening examination for esophageal cancer; however, persons with Barrett's esophagus should be examined often because they are at greater risk for developing the disease.
The following factors can put an individual at greater risk for developing esophageal cancer:
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for esophageal cancer may include the following:
Specific treatment for esophageal cancer will be determined by your physician based on:
Treatment may include:
Sometimes, several of these treatments may be combined for treating esophageal cancer.

Often, we read about large industrial companies or power providers with expansive customer bases that have chosen to use natural gas. With its many economic and environmental benefits, it's the smart choice to power a business.
Swipe left or right to view photos
But natural gas can also power small companies, where skilled artisans create unique and detailed pieces of art in a range of rich colors and designs. At West Virginia's Blenko Glass, natural gas is powering the art of hand-blown glass creation.
For more than 100 years, Blenko glass has been creating works of art ranging from unique decorative and functional pieces to large-scale works, such as the Church Triumphant window at the Washington National Cathedral. For the artists at Blenko, creating hand-blown glass pieces requires a versatile and affordable source of energy at high temperatures - sometimes as high as 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit.
"Natural gas allows us to heat the furnaces in the most efficient way," said Katie Trippe, vice president of Blenko Glass. "Electric heating is too inefficient for our necessary temperatures."
According to Trippe, each artist must be able to change the temperatures of the furnaces regularly to create each unique piece, with production times ranging from about two minutes to about 10 minutes per piece. To rapidly alter temperatures efficiently, Blenko relies on natural gas as the only form of energy able to affordably meet their needs.
In addition, the company also benefits from low energy costs thanks to affordable natural gas prices. And these savings have kept Blenko employees on the job.
In the past year and a half alone, Blenko has saved $200,000 on its energy costs, enabling the company to invest more than $5,000 in new equipment and begin a 10-year plan to upgrade their entire facility. In addition, as the economy keeps working toward full recovery, the savings from using natural gas allowed Blenko to keep their employees working – sometimes with overtime during peak demand. While many small businesses downsized or closed completely during the economic downturn, natural gas kept Blenko and its employees working.
Natural gas has been used to power intense and demanding industrial applications across the nation. But it can also power the creation of works of art still crafted and artfully made by hand. Natural gas can affordably and efficiently power business of all sizes. And we think that is something worth thinking about.

Flash Steam Vent Condensers
With today's energy pricing and the need to reduce emissions, a plant's steam/condensate systems cannot afford to vent flash steam to the atmosphere. The modulating steam system's operational design requires the condensate to be recovered by a gravity (0 psig) condensate system. A typical system will incorporate a condensate receiver that allows the flash steam to vent to the atmosphere. The venting of the flash steam ensures the condensate receiver is never pressurized. To prevent the flash steam loss to the atmosphere, plants install devices such as "flash steam vent condensers" in the flash steam vent line.

Eat your heart out, Mike Gundy, because there's a new cowboy gunslinger in town--and his name is John Beck. The former BYU Cougars star is trying to resurrect his game in Canadian football as a quarterback for the B.C. Lions--but that's not all he's doing in the Great White North.
Beck is also teaching his teammates how to Dougie, as evidenced by a YouTube video that the Lions made public on Wednesday, June 4. Apparently Beck and the Lions may have more free time on their hands to get to the level of Gundy's Dougie, what with a players' strike looming--one that could delay or even cancel Beck's pro comeback.
Beck busted out his dance moves during a team meeting, which Vancouver Sun reporter Scott Brown said might be good enough for primetime TV--maybe even "Dancing With The Stars."
It was a light-hearted moment for Beck and his new teammates, who promptly applauded his efforts. Some even gave him a standing ovation. But a world of uncertainty remains for Beck and the rest of the CFL.
A strike threatens to postpone, or possibly even cancel the upcoming Canadian football season, and the last talks between the players' union and the CFL stalled. No new talks are scheduled to take place this week, possibly interrupting Beck's highly anticipated comeback. Beck is currently the Lions' third-string quarterback behind starter Travis Lulay and backup Kevin Glenn but will still need to win his job in camp.
Beck should get an opportunity to show he can still play in preseason although he hasn't taken a snap in a pro football game since 2012 when he quarterbacked the NFL's Houston Texans. The Texans released him later that year and he hasn't played since.
For Beck, this stop up north might be his last hurrah. The former second round pick of the Miami Dolphins in the 2007 NFL Draft has bounced from one NFL team to another and Canada is his fifth stop.

Report: Scruggs Plans to Plead Fifth in State Farm-Hood Spat
We've given you a bit of a rest from the Mess in Mississippi, but nap time is over. Time to get you caught up on the latest tidbits. For those who have their memories erased — or have just found until now the story too arcane and regionally focused to get into — let's also impart a (quick) recap on the whole situation. All Scruggs addicts, feel free to skip to below.
- The Recap: In late November of last year, high-flying Mississippi plaintiffs lawyer Dickie Scruggs (pictured, right) was indicted in federal court along with several others for allegedly conspiring to bribe a Mississippi judge, Henry Lackey. Specifically, Judge Lackey was allegedly offered $40,000 in exchange for making a ruling favorable to Scruggs in a fee-dispute with other lawyers concerning Hurricane Katrina-related insurance litigation. Initially, all five indictees pleaded not guilty, but two of the five have since agreed to plead guilty. The trial for the remaining three — Scruggs, his son, and a colleague — is slated to start on March 31.
Meanwhile, earlier this month, a separate case developed. Another prominent Mississippi plaintiffs lawyer, Joey Langston, agreed to plead guilty to conspiring to improperly influence a different Mississippi judge, Bobby Delaughter. Specifically, Judge Delaughter was allegedly offered help in getting a federal judgeship in exchange for a favorable ruling in a separate fee-dispute, one involving asbestos litigation. Judge Delaughter has denied that he was improperly bribed. Scruggs was mentioned in the indictment as being in on the scheme, but he wasn't indicted. The government has, however, indicated it will try to offer so-called "similar acts" evidence from the Delaughter case into the Lackey trial.

- Scruggs and the Fifth: Meanwhile, Scruggs's name has popped up in yet another case — this one a suit filed by State Farm against the Mississippi AG, Jim Hood (pictured, left), alleging that Hood used the threat of a criminal prosecution to extract civil settlements with the insurer. State Farm has alleged that Scruggs was part of the "extortion conspiracy," and Scruggs was recently issued a subpoena requiring him to appear at a deposition on the matter, scheduled for tomorrow. However, according to a recent filing made by Scruggs's lawyer, John Keker, Scruggs will plead the Fifth and decline to testify. Here's the AP story.
- No Local Counsel: In other news, while Scruggs is most likely in good hands with San Francisco-based superstar lawyer John Keker, he's still without Mississippi-based counsel. His first lawyer was Langston, who stepped down from representation around the time he agreed to plead guilty in the Delaughter situation. Scruggs then attempted to hire Ken Coghlan, reputed to be one of the better criminal-defense lawyers in northern Mississippi. But Judge Biggers denied the request. Why? Coghlan had earlier represented Steve Patterson, who pleaded guilty in the matter earlier this month. Keker's request to reconsider the denial of Coghlan was denied yesterday by Judge Biggers, in a fairly colorful five-page order. Wrote Biggers:
Defendant Richard Scruggs can hardly complain that to deny his motion to approve Mr. Coghlan as one of his attorneys is to deprive him of the assistance of counsel under the Sixth Amendment. Defendant Scruggs has five eminent attorneys of record at present.

Best Jazz CD 2005 by
The band Tumbao consists of five wonderful musicians who are also world class human beings. They are studied and practiced players who bring great personal joy to the table as well. Their musical skills are evident: strong compositions, luminous, solos, and dynamic ensemble playing. The music itself is communal rhythm poetry, emotionally charged. Tumbao is essentially driven by the strong rhythm team which lays out a flying carpet upon which the front men gather the tropical wind.
Most of the tunes are originals. The range of moods is engaging - something for everyone. While everybody gets their chance to shine, the snap-crackle-pop rhythm pairing of Alberto and Javier are basically content to drive this big car through the tropical terrain while the writers take wing. They are not driving from the back seat, though, folks. This a real family band!
VornHagen's upbeat Spring Watch sets the tone with its lively flute rhythm and joyous tone. The hint of wistful longing in the melody is so very Cuban. You have to live that vibe, people!
Anderson's Groove Chick is a fashionably chunky slice of Latin Jazz. Strong bass line - cool tumbao. And special guest Finkbeiner lends an extra dollop of soul sauce, economically doubling VornHagen's flute. Sven and Al feed each others' fire, and Javier has plenty of percussive kerosene to throw in the pit! Somebody say, "Oh, man!"
also wrote my favorite mood piece on this CD, a mystical gem called
When You Sleep, Do You Speak?, a gorgeous violet nocturne. Paul's
soprano seeks the root of ancient mysteries. Sven's ribbon of ideas
is fresh and focused. VornHagen's title piece is bouncy big fun with
flute 'n Finkbeiner. Fink steps up to the plate with a strong turn that
tells me he's seeing the ball real well! Bassist Barren prescribes the
nice velocity and rhythm breaks of Los Maestros. VornHagen's
warm 'n tough tenor is in the fore and guest buddy Bob Mojica matches
his strength and invention with passionate trumpet work. Anderson's
tribute piece Sir Tyner honors the real McCoy with that patented
Afro-Tyner left hand and cascading figures...but shouldn't it be Senor
Beautiful cover tunes serve as frosting on the gateau. Composer Orlando Valle's flute feature Celine's Groove is well known to Cuban Fantasy fans and is given a loving treatment here. Sabor A Mi is straight up bolero beauty with VornHagen waxing Zoot-like on tenor.
There you have it, Beautiful, fun cats deliveing a serious dose of beautiful, fun music. Strong leadership, strong material, strong solos. A strong ensemble, con alma con Tumbao!

Makin' Copies - Blazing a Paperless Trail Through the Land of Grants Management
Today's post comes to us courtesy of Patagonia penman and seasoned wildlife crusader, Jim Little. Take it away, Jim . . .
Lisa Myers used to stand at the photocopy machine for hours, making copies--lots and lots of copies. A colleague would watch her shuffling papers, methodically pushing the button over and over, and ask her how many trees she'd killed that day. In the course of a year, Lisa figures she'd print some 4,250 pages double sided. That's about this much.
[Lisa at copy machine with 9 reams of paper. Photo: Jim Little]
"It's a lot of paper," she said. "It was counterintuitive to the work we were doing."
Lisa is Patagonia's environmental programs associate, one of six people who work in our "enviro department." Part of her job is to assess and process the slew of environmental grant applications we receive each year for funding through our environmental grants program.
Nonprofit environmental groups needing money for all sorts of worthwhile projects write and submit the applications. Their proposals used to arrive by mail truck, some by FedEx, landing on Lisa's desk in mail buckets. She'd open them, look them over, and if they appeared to meet the company's criteria for funding, enter the information into her database and make copies of the applications.
The copies went into four binders, which were read by Patagonia's grants council. It consists of seven employees, who volunteer to assess proposals and decide which ones merit a grant. In an effort to reduce the amount of paper used, council members shared the binders. It helped, but it was still a lot of paper.
That was then: The dark days before Cybergrants.
Nowadays, organizations wishing to apply for grants are invited to visit our Web site. There they find our grant guidelines, which clearly describe the kinds of environmental work we like to support. Applicants can then take a quiz that helps to determine whether or not they might qualify for Patagonia grant money.
Likely candidates fill out a proposal and upload a budget, proof of nonprofit status, etc. The process is all electronic. No trees are killed, no water used, far fewer dinosaurs burned.
Lisa says she used to get upwards of a thousand applications a year, but now receives closer to 400, thanks to the thoroughness of the Cybergrants screening process. When a group submits a proposal online, she receives an email notification, reads the proposal on onscreen, and if it looks like a fit, combines it with other possible candidates in a PDF "ebinder," which she forwards to members of the grants council.
[Lisa with e-binder computer screen. Photo: Jim Little]
Five of the council's seven members now read the proposals on their computers. But the shift from paper to a computer screen is not for everyone.
"Some people find it really difficult reading several hundred pages on-screen," says Lisa. "We are encouraging them to make the switch, but we have to be flexible. Those who have, enjoy the ability to easily research the groups online as they evaluate their proposals."
So, with the exception of two printed copies, the only paper now used is for the grant-payment checks and the "we're sorry to inform you" letters for groups who don't qualify for money. The twice-yearly updates we ask for from grants recipients also come to Lisa electronically.
In addition to all that paper, Cybergrants has saved Lisa and her department considerable energy. She figures more than a thousand hours last year in labor, valued at more than $30,000.
For more on Patagonia's paper use and procurement policy, go here, or download this PDF.
In the spirit of this post, it's perhaps best read onscreen.
* Patagonia uses 100% postconsumer fiber copy paper www.mohawkpaper.com, so no trees are actually felled. But recycled paper is not without its energy and water costs.

In recent months, terrorists have been trying to set up an al-Qaida branch in Sinai Peninsula
In recent months, global terrorist groups have been trying to consolidate the establishment of a branch of the al-Qaida terrorist group in the Sinai Peninsula, according to a report of the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center.
Interrogations of terrorist suspects arrested by Egypt have revealed that the Palestinian Army of Islam organization, which identifies with global jihad, has been working to establish an al-Qaida branch in Sinai.
As part of these efforts, a training base was set up in el-Arish last February. Around 2,000 operatives went there to receive weapons training.
The purpose of the training was to establish a global jihad force in Sinai that would act to drive out Egyptian and multi-national forces that are deployed in Sinai.
In recent months, terrorists have attacked government sites in northern Sinai (including five attacks on the pipeline that Egypt uses to provide Israel and Jordan with gas).
Egyptian forces subsequently launched an operation to strengthen Egypt's authority over Sinai and to increase its supervision of foreign elements entering Sinai.
As part of this, Egypt strengthened its forces stationed in Sinai by about 1,000 soldiers and police, including armored forces.
Most of the Egyptian forces are deployed in the el-Arish and Sheikh Zuid areas of Sinai. A number of terrorists were arrested by Egyptian forces and in some cases there were exchanges of gunfire.

A drug based on a muscle protein or a blood metabolite produced by exercise that has been shown to increase during exercise and burn fat may be possible according to research conducted by Dr. Robert Gerszten, of the Cardiology Division and Cardiovascular Research Center at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School that was published in the Jan. 7, 2014, edition of the journal Cell Metabolism.
During exercise a protein called peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator 1 alpha (PGC-1 alpha) is created. The researchers forced the expression of PGC-1 alpha in mice and found a blood metabolite called beta-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA) that caused fat to be burned during and after exercise.
The researchers found that BAIBA reduced weight gain and balanced blood sugar levels in mice.
BAIBA was found to reduce cholesterol, reduce insulin levels, reduce fasting blood sugar levels, reduce triglyceride levels, and was correlated with lower body mass index in people who exercised regularly.
The researchers note the fat burning potential of a naturally manufactured metabolite could be the perfect antidote for the epidemic of obesity in the United States and the world and could prevent the diseases like diabetes that are associated with obesity and being overweight.
A drug based on BAIBA may be the perfect solution to weight control without exercise that will actually work.

The actor and vocalist of 30 Seconds to Mars is reportedly being considered for the role of Dr. Stephen Strange in a new "Marvel Comics" movie. "The Dr. Strange" character, who first appeared in the 1960's, is a former neurosurgeon now in charge of protecting the earth from all magical and mystical threats. It would be interesting to see Leto in a superhero role, which is something he hasn't done before. The Academy and Oscar winning actor is said to be selective about his acting roles, but if offered, this is one he probably won't pass up.
Leto had been on a five year acting hiatus to concentrate on 30 Seconds to Mars, which released it's fourth album Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams in 2013. In between touring and directing short films, he also made his return to the big screen in "Dallas Buyers' Club." Whether it works out with Marvel or not, you can be sure that whatever Leto does next will be worth the wait.

Connecticut Birth Resources
As a service to Connecticut's birth professionals, as well as to its birthing consumers, I have created a website called "Connecticut Birth Resources". It is by no means a complete listing, and I welcome additional entries from any professional sharing respect for birth and birthing women. It will always be a "work in progress", as I hope for it to become a convenient resource for all who birth in our state.

Giving 'Til it Hurts: The Annual Gift Tax Exclusion
February 11, 2013 : Jay Dunn - The Tax Institute at H&R Block
After years of playing the lotto, your seven lucky numbers finally hit it big, so congratulations on becoming the next big millionaire. Unfortunately, in between the screams of excitement and getting your picture taken with a large novelty check, you did not get around to changing your phone number. Now you have third cousins twice removed asking for a handout as repayment for that one time they babysat you or that long-lost uncle wanting you to invest in his biggest money making scheme yet. Tuna popsicles…a sure fire win. Not wishing to be rude but at the same time not looking to go back to the poor house, how much can you afford to hand out? Let the gift-giving commence!
What is considered a 'gift'?
For tax purposes, a gift is when the value of the property transferred is greater than what is received in return for the transfer. Gifts can include transfers of cash or property, payments made to third parties on behalf of another, interest-free loans, below-market or "bargain" sales, transfers to an irrevocable trust, transfers with a retained life estate and, in some cases, adding a joint owner to property.
Are gifts subject to tax?
As a general rule, gifts are subject to gift tax whether it is a gift of cash or property that is transferred to another person. However, as with any good general rule, there are a few exceptions. One exception is the gift tax exclusion. Under this exception, if the total value of gifts made by a donor to any one individual in a taxable year is below a set amount, then the gift is not subject to gift tax. In 2012, the exclusion amount is $13,000 and in 2013 it will increase to $14,000.
Example: A taxpayer, for 2012, makes a gift of cash to three different individuals; no other gifts were made during the year. One gift was for $4,000, one for $6,000, and the last one for $13,000. Even though the three gifts combined total $23,000, the taxpayer would not owe any gift taxes on the three gifts since no gift to any one individual was greater than $13,000. However, if that same taxpayer made an additional fourth gift of cash of $15,000, then gift taxes will be calculated based on the $2,000 that exceed the annual exclusion limit.
Does the gift exclusion always apply?
As great as the annual gift exclusion is, there is a limitation to the rule. The annual gift tax exclusion only applies to gifts of present interest. A gift of a present interest is one in which the person who received the gift has the unrestricted right to the immediate possession, use, and enjoyment of the property. One great example would be a Christmas check from a grandmother; the grandchild who receives the check has immediate possession of the money and may use it however they wish.
Gifts of a future interest in property do not get to use the annual gift exclusion. A gift of a future interest is where the person who receives the gift does not yet have the unrestricted right to the immediate possession, use and enjoyment of the property, but will have these rights at a later time.
Example of a future interest: John transfers cash to an irrevocable trust for the beneficial enjoyment of Rebecca, who is not his dependent. However, under the rules of the trust, Rebecca cannot begin to receive any money from the trust until she reaches the age of 18, eight years from now. The gift to Rebecca is a gift of a future interest because Rebecca will not be able to use the money until she reaches the age of 18.
In the example above, any amount John transfers to the trust on behalf of Rebecca will be subject to gift tax. The annual exclusion will not apply because Rebecca is receiving a future interest instead of a present interest in the gift.
So what does all this mean for you and your new wealth? You can be Ebenezer Scrooge at the end of A Christmas Carol, doling out gifts below the annual exclusion limit to as many family members as you want without fear of owing gift taxes. Who knows…maybe tuna popsicles will become as big as the hot dog.
More questions about the annual gift exclusion? Talk it out in the new H&R Block Community.

How To Be Scarce & More
Yes, it's that time once again: The day we feature your dating and relationship questions. Although we would like to answer each one personally and with as much detail as possible, the overwhelming amount of inquiries forces us to highlight those that are most interesting to AskMen.com readers.
This week's Q&A focuses on perfecting your online dating persona, learning how to be scarce and proof that negative hits work. David DeAngelo, author of Double Your Dating: What Every Man Should Know About How To Be Successful With Women, has your answers.
reader's commentHi David,
I have your Advanced Dating Techniques DVD set and it was well-worth the money spent many times over. It has been amazing to see how many mistakes I made over the years with women due to a weak inner game and understanding of women. Thank you for taking the time and energy to put this series together. I am finally "getting it." I am now putting your techniques into practice with a new confidence and will report back soon — I'm sure with success stories.
My question is: When using online dating services such as Match.com, what is an effective way to describe yourself in your profile, what you're looking for in a mate, and also what are effective methods for an initial e-mail to a woman of interest?
Irvine, California
david d. respondsIt sounds to me like you haven't listened to the entire program yet.
Later in the program you'll find that I have actually provided you with examples of profiles that I've personally used to meet women online, several examples of instant message conversations and insights into the psychology of meeting women using the internet.
I met my last girlfriend on the internet, actually. She's 5'10" tall, and the hottest woman you've ever seen in your life. Not to mention intelligent, funny, emotionally stable, and a joy to be around.
And she contacted me first.
Also, I interview one of my good friends who taught me how to meet women online... And he shares some of his secret strategies as well.
A hint about most of these personals sites that most guys don't know: If you update your profile, it brings your ad back "to the top of the pile" and more women see it.
So update your profile daily. Even a small change will do.
That one little tip will exponentially increase your results.
Now listen to the program!
It's all in there.
reader's commentHey David.
Your stuff is incredible! I have the book and am just about finished with the advanced series DVD. My success rate has skyrocketed! I do have one question though: You mention being scarce. I know this is huge.
How much scarcity is enough? I don't want to come off as a needy Wuss, but at the same time I don't want to seem so disinterested that the woman just dismisses me as a player. How many times a week do you recommend contact by e-mail, phone or meeting?
AK, Minnesota
david d. respondsDon't worry about a woman "dismissing you as a player."
In fact, don't worry about anything that a woman thinks of you.
What a woman thinks of you is her business, not yours. This is the kind of thinking that keeps you from becoming the man that you want to be. And keeps you trying to please other people — women in this case.
I recommend that you learn for yourself just how scarce is "enough." As you've heard me say: don't see a woman that you've just met more than once a week (sometimes twice), and don't call her more than once or twice a week in addition.
This is your own personal insecurity issue, and you need to get over it.
Watch the interview section of the Advanced Series DVDs that you have. Listen to how those guys that I interview think about this topic.
That will do it.
A reader lets David D. know just how effective his negative hit routine really is...

Being driven can be a good thing, especially if it for an uplifting, empowering, and enriching cause. It means that the individual or collective understands the magnitude of their work, and more importantly, how it can benefit others in multiple ways, shapes, and forms.
Determination is another element necessary. In having a mindset and resolve to see things through, it allows for others to be a part of the process, and make one's vision a reality.
The Atlanta-based dance company, T Lang Dance, is an example of an entity that is focused on not only the creation and performance of contemporary dance and other elements in adding to the genre, but committed in making this essential part of the performing arts more accessible for the community. Be it the aforementioned contemporary audience, the traditional audience, or a new audience which may not have the acumen but has the want and willingness to partake of the arts, her company's works provide a series of performances that are strongly rooted in depth, humor, strong physical movement, range, and emotion.
"We believe in what we are doing, and are committed to our dancers, supporters, and the larger community", notes Lang, the director.
As a by-product of their steely and sincere resolve, the company aggressively launched its campaign in April for support of its forthcoming project. During the weekend of June 6-8, 2014 at the Goat Farm Arts Performing Arts Center (in Atlanta), the company is gearing up for its work "Post Up". The piece is an extension of the company's trademark of providing arousing investigations of relevant issues ranging from identity, history, and community; combined with the talent, determination, and commitment of the dancers and fellow artists, there is only one component missing, and that is support from individuals and small businesses.
Individuals are able to support the company via its current Indiegogo campaign (click here for additional information). Likewise, small businesses and fellow community organizations are able to assist the company through their sponsorship packages, which include even added access based on their donation levels.
All donations are tax-deductible (as donations are directed to their nonprofit partner, The Field), including the sponsorship packages.
With June fast approaching, a golden opportunity is available for individuals and other entities, to support the performing arts. When larger support is provided, it provides an added level of support for the dancers and fellow artists to continue to do their part in adding to the creative arts.
T Lang Dance is such a company with whom the support from the community can continue to make dance and the performing arts more accessible. Doing so can provide greater opportunities for individual and collective enrichment grounded in the creative and powerful expressions through dance.
The company is driven; take advantage of the opportunity to help them with their drive today...

How To Buy The Better Laptop Battery
by pemfoo
How To Buy The Better Laptop Battery
How To Buy The Better Laptop Battery ,it is very good guide.
<1>. A laptop battery provides a source of electrical energy that supplies needed power to your laptop. The laptop battery uses a combination of cells that are electrochemically active, which is to say, they naturally transmit electrons from one end of the laptop battery to the other, when those two ends are connected in a circuit. A laptop computer battery can be engineered to be highly portable, like a watch battery, or it can be built to withstand extremes in operating conditions, like a car battery.
<2>. One of the oldest batteries used in laptops is the NiCad, nothing but the Nickel Cadmium, which is very rarely used today. These Nickel Cadmium or the NiCad batteries is very heavier when compared to laptop batteries which are used to day. These NiCad batteries are prone to memory effect and they aren't environment friendly as it contains heavy metals. Now battery manufactures have stopped manufacturing batteries of this type. The Nickel Metal Hydride or NiMH batteries are less likely to be prone to memory effects, but produces better power when compared to NiCad batteries. However most companies have stopped manufacturing NiMH batteries also.
<3>. Just like your car, your laptop computer battery lasts longer depending on how you "drive" your laptop. Modern laptop batteries tend to last three to five hours, depending on the power needs of the computer and the programs the user runs. Few things are as frustrating as when your laptop battery suddenly won't charge fully or stops holding its charge for as long; when this happens, you'll probably want to buy a replacement battery.
<4>. The Lithium Ion or Li-Ion batteries is the most commonly used batteries used today in Laptops and also in other digital gadgets as Lithium Ion or Li-Ion batteries are compatible, provides excellent power and lesser in weight. Li-Ion batteries are very much useful in smaller and lighter devices such as digital cameras, mobile phones and of course in laptops. Another biggest advantage of Lithium Ion laptop batteries is that they do not suffer memory effect at all! However these batteries tend to lose its charge quickly towards the end of their life span. If this happens, then this is an indication, that the battery needs to be replaced.
<5>. Please generate and paste your AdSense code here. If left empty, the default referral ads will be shown on your blog.When buying a laptop battery, you will probably only have one or two choices that fit your laptop. Choose the battery with the longest life available for your laptop. There are several different kinds of laptop batteries , because the technologies of each are very different, a laptop must be designed specifically for the type of battery it uses. Most laptops are only designed to use one type of battery technology.

Chief Whip Andrew Mitchell 'used the word plebs'
08:52 25 September 2012
The official police log of Andrew Mitchell's angry confrontation with Downing Street police records him describing officers as "plebs".
A 442-word account of the incident, published for the first time in today's Daily Telegraph, records the Chief Whip repeatedly refusing to comply with police requests and then swearing at officers.
He was told that it was "policy" for cyclists to use the pedestrian gate.
"Mr Mitchell refused, stating he was the chief whip and he always used the main gates," the report goes on.
"I explained to Mr Mitchell that the policy was to use the side pedestrian gates and that I was happy to open those for him, but that no officer present would be opening the main gates as this was the policy we were directed to follow.
"Mr Mitchell refused. Repeatedly reiterating he was the chief whip... After several refusals Mr Mitchell got off his bike and walked to the pedestrian gate with me after I again offered to open that for him."
He is then recorded as swearing and describing the officers as plebs. He was then warned he could be arrested for the abuse.
"Mr Mitchell was then silent and left saying 'you haven't heard the last of this' as he cycled off."
The embattled Chief Whip apologised yesterday for not treating the police with respect but denies using the words he is reported as saying.
He blamed his behaviour on having had "a long and extremely frustrating day".
But he pointedly refused to answer questions about whether he had branded the police "plebs" - as their leaked written records of the exchange suggest.
The Sun newspaper claims he spent part of that day enjoying lunch at an upmarket Westminster curry house, the Cinnamon Club.
Ex-government adviser George McGregor told The Sun he was dining at the restaurant at the time near Mr Mitchell, and said: "He didn't seem to be having a long and frustrating day to me."
The Telegraph's publication of the police log bolsters the officers' account of the exchange and will place further pressure on Mr Mitchell despite cabinet secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood rejecting calls for a probe into the incident.

Lessons from the Cosco Busan Oil Spill
Assemblymember Mark Leno
California Progress Report
In the weeks since 58,000 gallons of toxic bunker fuel from the Cosco Busan spilled into San Francisco Bay, each of us has been reminded of the Bay's central importance to our region's wildlife, economy, fishing fleet, tourism industry, and human health, and its place in the hearts of the people of Northern California.
Like so many, I was rocked by the devastating news and joined the relief efforts on the ground by combing beaches for signs of the spill. The outpouring of emotion and support I witnessed on the beaches and in community meetings since the disaster emboldens me as we investigate the facts surrounding the spill, and more importantly, work to prevent such a disaster in the future.
In the hours following the spill, I participated in a number of briefings given by the Unified Command and others responsible for the clean-up efforts. It was clear from the outset that important questions needed to be answered and that ultimately, we must do a better job to protect our coastlines and marine wildlife. Assemblywoman Loni Hancock (D-Berkeley) and I called an emergency oversight hearing of the Assembly Natural Resources Committee to review the causes of the accident and the response efforts.
The hearing brought Bay Area Assemblymembers together with officials and agencies who could speak to the current conditions and the environmental damage, as well as the immediate steps necessary for a proper clean-up and protection of coastal and marine resources and wildlife. I would like to summarize a few of the most important points that came to light in the hearing.
1. The state Office of Spill Prevention and Response (OSPR) requirements for containment and clean up response by the shipping industry are inadequate. For example, the minimum amount of containment boom required for deployment in the first hour after a spill for a vessel the size of the Costco Busan is 600 feet. However, the Busan is a 900 ft vessel and considerably more boom was needed to surround the ship and the miles of fouled waters along the path of the ship.
2. OSPR reported they had a plan to deal with a wide variety of local contingencies including our bay winds and tides, but not for fog which is so prevalent in San Francisco Bay. Fog has been the excuse used by the Coast Guard and others for not knowing that the spill was much larger than the 10 barrels originally reported.
3. The decision not to immediately deploy the San Francisco fishing fleet in the clean-up effort was simply ill advised. According to testimony by the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen's Associations, the San Francisco fishing fleet, trained in boom deployment and oil clean up, asked the Coast Guard where they were needed in the clean up effort on the day of the spill. The fishing fleet was informed their valuable expertise wasn't needed and that they should volunteer for waterfowl clean up.
4. The Coast Guard also failed to notify local agencies in a timely manner that the spill had occurred, that it was much larger than originally reported, and that tides and currents would send oil to coastal areas around the Bay and the Pacific coast in Marin and San Mateo Counties. These agencies could have brought immediately additional resources to the containment and clean up effort. In the case of some East Bay jurisdictions, there was never any contact from the Coast Guard, including agencies that control large swaths of Bay shoreline.
5. Workers employed by the Marine Spill Response Corporation (MSRC), the nonprofit entity created by the oil and shipping industry to clean up spills, have said that 20 people were available in the early hours after the incident to deploy boom, but the actual need was 60 workers.
6. There are disputes of exactly when the first clean up vessels arrived at the spill site and why there was a delay in contacting MSRC for clean up that further contributed to poor containment and response. The spill occurred at 8:27 a.m., but reports suggest that the MSRC wasn't contacted until 9:17 am. According to testimony by the Marine Spill Response Corporation, the first clean up vessel with oil skimmers and containment boom did not arrive at the spill site until 9:50 a.m., one hour and thirty-eight minutes after the incident. However, San Francisco Baykeeper testified that their vessels, which were at the spill site at 10 a.m., reported that there were no booms or skimmer vessels on the water and that the Coast Guard reported to them at 11 a.m. that booms were not yet available.
7. The Department of Fish and Game (DFG) did no testing of water or crab before allowing crab season to open everywhere except 3 miles off the coast near San Francisco Bay. Instead, this narrow fishery closure was based on where oil was seen during aerial observation. However, given the strong currents of the Golden Gate, the fact that crab and fish are mobile in the water, and subsequent reports of oil outside the 3 mile zone, my Assembly colleagues and I are concerned that the area of the fishery closure may not be adequate to ensure that crab and fish contaminated with oil will not make it to the market. DFG and the state Department of Public Health are now testing marine life and water for oil contamination, and the first results should be available this week. Regardless of the test results, a wider closure would have been more prudent.
8. Clean up vessels, equipment, and crews retained by the oil refineries in Contra Costa County were never called upon by the U.S. Coast Guard, OSPR, or MSRC. Instead, teams were flown in from as far away as Louisiana and Florida to respond. Clearly, a list of available federal, state, local, and private containment and clean up assets needs to be maintained and available to the Unified Command, and the Coast Guard must deploy these assets faster and in a more coordinated way.
9. Bunker fuel, the waste product created after other products are refined from oil, is one of the dirtiest burning and thickest liquid fuels available. In fact, the bubble gum like material must be diluted with diesel or other distillate fuels before it can be used in engines. This fuel pollutes the air, is far more difficult to clean up after a spill, and simply should be banned from use in all shipping vessels by the federal government. Other distillate fuels are cleaner and readily available and environmental groups have been pushing for a ban on bunker fuel for nearly ten years.
The hearing was an important first step because as we understand the circumstances leading up to the spill and the causes for the inadequate response, we will also learn how we can reduce the chances of another spill and how better to contain oil or chemical spills once they occur. Much is at stake, including a quintessential San Francisco industry— Dungeness crab. The livelihoods of local people working in the crab fishing fleet and crab processing industries depend upon the health of the Bay and consumer confidence in our safety standards.
This disaster also serves as a reminder of the vulnerability of some of our most treasured resources in this age when petroleum products and other toxics are transited virtually everywhere. In the coming years, as our ports expand to meet the needs of trading in the global economy, we must enact more stringent safety measures, do a better job of coordinating our local, state and Federal response teams, and expand nautical traffic control. Our oceans and beaches are among California's most valuable and beautiful resources. It is our duty and obligation to sustain their value and beauty for future generations.
Assemblymmeber Mark Leno represents the 13th District, which encompasses the eastern portion of San Francisco.
