How the JOBS Act can help you:
The JOBS Act is designed to help growing companies get the capital they need by removing barriers, giving them more options, and eliminating or deferring costly legal and accounting hurdles. In approving the legislation, Congress and the President recognized the power of the innovation economy to create jobs and invent new products and services that improve our quality of life.
Historically, more than ninety percent of new job creation occurred after companies went public. In recent years, however, a variety of regulatory, market, and other changes have led to a dramatic decline in the number of new offerings and the total number of U.S. listed companies. Smaller initial public offerings have virtually disappeared, and the average amount of time it takes for a company to get to an IPO has grown significantly. This means less job creation, more M&A exits, and a harder row to hoe for entrepreneurs.
The JOBS Act helps alleviate some of these challenges. It lets startups raise capital from a broader array of investors. It relaxes regulatory requirements that eat up time and money but aren't as essential for protecting investors. It gives companies more control over when to go public, lets them keep business information confidential while they decide, and enhances their ability to communicate with potential investors. In sum, it provides greater flexibility for entrepreneurs to make the best strategic decisions on how to grow.
The Act lays the groundwork for the most significant changes to securities laws in several years. Its full impact, however, will be clear only when the regulatory process has played out, the new rules have been put into practice by the financial community, and investors have responded.
But, for now, here's a thumbnail sketch of what the Act says and what's to come.
The Wisdom of the Crowd: Crowd-funding
Steve Case calls crowd-funding "the democratization of access to investment." For startups just out of the gate, it could expand the group of prospective backers from a small circle of wealthy investors to anyone accessible by text, email or a social network. While VCs and angel investors will likely remain the mainstays for many high growth startups, crowd-funding has the potential to create a new, broader source of capital for early stage entrepreneurs.
Even before the JOBS Act, entrepreneurs had begun to turn to crowd-sourcing sites to "bootstrap" their way through product development and testing. Earlier this year, Pebble Watch reportedly raised $10 million in a matter of a few weeks. The company took pre-orders for its product and issued no securities — an important difference, since historically it's been illegal to use crowd-funding to sell securities, as opposed to products and services.
The JOBS Act changes that. Under the JOBS Act, a private company will be able to raise capital through either a registered broker or a registered "funding portal" (something that still needs to be defined by the SEC). There are limits, however, both for the company and for potential investors.
A company can raise up to $1 million over a 12-month period. Importantly, this money can come from any investor — even those who do not meet the wealth thresholds that historically have defined who may legally invest in venture capital funds and private placements.
To protect investors, however, the JOBS Act caps the amount they can put at risk. An investor with a net worth or annual income of less than $100,000 can invest annually up to $2,000 or 5 percent of their annual income/net worth, whichever is greater. Investors with a net worth or income above $100,000 can invest annually up to $100,000 or 10 percent of their annual income/net worth, whichever is less.
There is a one-year holding period for investments, subject to a few exceptions. Companies will need to file with the SEC and provide ongoing reports and information to investors. The specifics will vary based on the offering size, but will include a variety of business and financial information and, for larger offerings, audited financial statements. Importantly, these filing requirements are likely to be much less onerous than the requirements that apply to public companies.
While crowd-funding has created a lot of buzz, the SEC must still write regulations to implement it … which creates a lot of uncertainty. For small capital raises, how the SEC strikes the balance between open capital markets and investor protection — and how much information they require companies to provide — likely will have a big impact on whether crowd-funding takes off. There's also a question of timing. Crowd-funding can't begin until the SEC adopts rules. That's not expected to happen until the end of the year at the earliest, and it's very possible regulations will take a lot longer since the SEC is still dealing with the enormous workload created by the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill as well as the other aspects of the JOBS Act.
There is a great deal of debate over whether crowd-funding will augment other sources of capital for high growth companies or whether it will be used primarily by companies who don't expect to turn to professional investors down the line. People are only beginning to discuss core questions, such as how crowd-funded companies (and any professional investors that come in over time) will manage a diverse shareholder base, how a crowd-funded company can manage dilution to original shareholders if it brings in professional investors at a later stage, and whether crowd-funding can work for companies in "stealth mode".
If you're a crowd-funding advocate, we encourage you to get involved. The SEC's rulemaking process will be open to public comment, and we expect investor protection concerns will be top of mind for them. In order to increase the chances of ending up with crowd-funding rules that are most beneficial and workable, advocates will need to make the case to the SEC for crowd-funding's benefits, explain how certain regulatory burdens can make crowd-funding infeasible, and help the SEC understand the positive experiences people have had to date with marketplace and crowd-sourcing sites.
Regulation "A+"
During the Great Depression, Regulation A was enacted with the goal of helping the economy by providing small businesses with a more streamlined way to access public capital markets. But it is now almost never used, for two reasons. One, it only allows offerings of up to $5 million. And two, in many cases issuers still have to contend with state-by-state regulation.
The JOBS Act is designed to breathe new life into the concept by creating a new exemption for offerings of up to $50 million annually. Commonly referred to as Reg "A+," it builds upon the existing Reg A, providing a new path to raise capital through public or private offerings to a broad base of potential investors. If it's successful, it could re-invigorate small cap IPOs by a creating a simpler, more cost effective "mini" registration process that accommodates smaller offerings and leaves a greater share of proceeds in the hands of the company.
Unlike private placements, Reg A+ offerings are open to all investors — not just "accredited investors." There are no resale restrictions, so there is the ability to create a secondary market for shares. In addition, Reg A+ can be used alongside other private offering exemptions, allowing a company to tap into different pools of capital through a series of offerings.
Those going down the Reg A+ path will have to provide an offering circular, audited financial statements, and other disclosures (to be decided by the SEC). They will be liable for misstatements and omissions, but will not have to deal with state-by-state regulations if the securities are sold on a national securities exchange or to "qualified purchasers" (if the SEC elects to define such a class of investors). They can advertise the offering broadly, and can engage in conversations to "test the waters" with potential investors before incurring the full expense of preparing and distributing offering documents.
As with crowd-funding, none of this will be "real" until the SEC issues rules…and there is no deadline by which the SEC must act.
Many companies and virtually all venture capital funds rely on "private placements" to raise capital. These are typically governed by two provisions of the securities laws – Rule 144A and Rule 506 of Reg D.
In general, only "accredited investors" and "qualified institutional buyers" are allowed to purchase securities in a private placement. Before the JOBS Act was passed, entities not only had to make sure they didn't sell to an ineligible buyer — they also had to make sure they didn't advertise the offering to ineligible purchasers.
This restriction always required a certain amount of care, but it became increasingly stifling as modes of communication proliferated. The JOBS Act updates the rules governing private placements to reflect the modern realities of how we communicate. It puts the focus on who the securities are actually sold to, rather than who sees the solicitations and advertisements or hears about the fact that the company or fund is fundraising.
At a minimum, this change will make life easier for funds and companies going through a private placement. At best, it could more dramatically affect the fundraising environment by allowing investors to be aware of more opportunities and letting companies and funds create greater demand for their offerings.
The new rules on advertising and solicitations will be effective only when the SEC writes new rules, which the JOBS Act requires by July 4, 2012. As noted above, however, it's likely the SEC may miss this deadline.
While some companies want to go public, others want to stay private or aren't yet ready to take the IPO leap. But historically, they've had a problem. Until the JOBS Act was passed, companies with more than 500 shareholders had to register with the SEC and file public periodic financial reports — essentially becoming subject to many of the burdens of being a public company.
The problem has grown more acute in recent years, as the time and scale it takes for companies to go public has increased. Larger companies mean more employees — and if those employees receive shares or options as part of their pay, that pushes a company toward the "500 shareholder" limit. In addition, when it takes the better part of a decade to reach the scale needed for an IPO, employees and early investors may want to sell shares on a secondary exchange to get interim liquidity – further pushing companies toward the shareholder limit.
The JOBS Act alleviates this problem, giving companies greater control over whether and when to go public. Going forward, a company will need to register with the SEC only if a class of shares is held by 2,000 or more people — up from 500 — or if the number of "unaccredited investors" goes over 500. Equally or more importantly, companies don't have to count employees who received equity under an employee plan or shareholders who bought through a crowd-funding site in those numbers. (Both before and after the JOBS Act, companies that exceed these shareholder thresholds must register only if they have more than $10 million in assets.)
This provision is already effective, although the SEC will need to adopt rules to address a few details.
The IPO "on-ramp" is one of the cornerstone provisions of the JOBS Act. It was designed to help reverse the sharp decline in the number of small cap IPOs and the dramatic rise in the number of high growth companies that "exit" through a merger or acquisition, rather than grow through an IPO.
The legislation creates a new category called an "emerging growth company," or EGC. It makes it easier for EGCs to go public by phasing in some regulatory requirements and increases their probability of success by altering the rules that govern the IPO process.
To qualify as an EGC, a company must have had less than $1 billion in annual gross revenues in its most recently completed fiscal year. A company will remain an EGC for five years or until it exceeds the $1 billion annual revenues threshold, issues $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three year period, or becomes a "large accelerated filer" under the SEC's rules. (Large accelerated filers are basically companies with more than $700 million in equity held by non-affiliates.)
An EGC gets several benefits — some that make it easier to go public, and others that make it easier to be public.
One, EGCs can submit their preliminary IPO documents to the SEC confidentially. This means the company can get ready for its IPO — and decide whether it wants to proceed with the IPO — before it has to disclose sensitive business information to its competitors and the public. (The company does need to make the filings public at least 21 days before starting its road show.)
Two, EGCs have up to five years to come into compliance with an array of financial and corporate governance disclosures and public company reporting requirements. For example, at the time of the IPO the company only has to file two years of audited financial statements and selected financial data, instead of three years of audited financial statements and five years of selected financial data. This means they have to spend a lot less time and money getting historical financials ready to file, and can spend more of their resources running and growing their business. EGCs also don't need to pay their auditors to attest to their SOX internal controls over financial reporting (though they do need to have those controls and their CEO and CFO need to certify the controls work). EGCs can make a more limited set of executive compensation disclosures, and they don't have to hold shareholder "say on pay" votes. Post IPO, they also have longer to come into compliance with new and revised accounting standards.
Three, both pre- and post-IPO, the JOBS Act expands the communication opportunities for EGCs, their underwriters, and potential investors. EGCs and their underwriters can "test the waters" with potential accredited investors, which can help them assess investors' interest and decide how to price and size the deal. Analysts covering an EGC can publish reports before, during, and after the offering, and investment bankers will be able to arrange communications between analysts and investors – both of which should encourage coverage and improve investor confidence.
As noted at the outset of this paper, the decline in the number of IPOs was caused by many forces, and it's too early to tell how much the IPO on-ramp will re-invigorate IPOs. It's also too early to say how investors and investment banks will respond to the new rules. But the JOBS Act and its IPO on-ramp at least have initiated a shift away from heavier regulation — and fewer small cap IPOs — which should help growth companies, their investors, their employees and the broader economy thrive.
Many of the JOBS Act provisions require new SEC rules — which means the job's not yet done. We live in an environment characterized by increased skepticism of private markets and a strong aversion to risk. Regulators have a lot on their plate, and some of the JOBS Act provisions are novel and will test the SEC's willingness to embrace change. As a result, we won't know for a while whether the JOBS Act will achieve its full promise for high growth startups. But there are two things we do know. One, there will be surprises ahead. And two, those who care about the outcome should make their voices heard by submitting comments to the SEC.

PHOTO - Landmarks on Leopold Bloom's journey through Dublin
James Joyce's masterpiece, "Ulysses" follows the protagonist Leopold Bloom on his day-long journey through the streets of Dublin. Joyce's work is so beloved by his fans that is it celebrated around the globe annually on Bloomsday, June 16. The very same date that Dedalus set out into Dublin in 1904.
IrishCentral.com have compiled a list of Dublin landmarks that are featured in the 1922 book.
You can retrace the steps of Leopold Bloom by taking your own tour of the following sites.
1. Martello Tower, Sandy Cove
This spot is now home to "The James Joyce Tower and museum". The first chapter of "Ulysses", "Telemachus", features this landmark.
It showcases Joyce's possessions and other memorabilia associated with the novel including an empty pot of Plumtree's Potted Meat. The tower has been restored to resemble the rooms as they would have been in 1904. The museum was created through the efforts of artist John Ryan. Ryan is responsible for the first Bloomsday in 1954.
2. Clifton School, Dalkey
Located in a seaside suburb of Dublin, some eight miles south-east of the city center, the Clifton School is today the site of the Summerfield Lodge. Joyce himself taught history here for one term in this setting for the "Nestor" episode.
3. Sandymount Strand
This beach is situated on the east coast of Ireland, next to the village and suburb of Sandymount in Dublin. Considered the most famous beach in Irish fiction, it makes up the south side of Dublin Bay.
Sandymount Strand serves as the setting for both the third episode "Proteus" and 13th episode "Nausicaa" in the book. The most controversial scene in the novel takes place here as Leopold Bloom pleasures himself to a young Gertie lifting her skirt. This led to "Ulysses" being banned in the USA for obscenity.
4. Glasnevin Cemetery
Ireland's largest non-denominational cemetery is 120 acres and dates back to 1832. The setting for the "Hades episode" is marked by high walls and watchtowers that were originally built to deter body-snatchers in the 18th and 19th centuries. Such prominent Irish figures as Daniel O'Connell, Micheal Collins, Eamon de Valera, Christy Brown, and Luke Kelly of the Dubliners are all buried here.
For more information on the Glasnevin Cemetry.

5. Princes Street, Dublin
The street is a major thoroughfare and urban center in Dublin. "The Aleous" episode was set here. It runs off O'Connell Street and was the site of the old Capitol theater.

6. National Library of Ireland, Dublin
The building, designed by Thomas Newenhan Dean, dates back to 1877. Located on Kildare Street, this Irish institution is a reference library housing Irish-related books, manuscripts, music, newspapers, periodicals and photographs. It provides genealogy services as well.The library is featured prominently in the "Scylla and Charybdis" episode.
For more information on Ireland's National Library
7.Grafton Street, Dublin
The famous street is one of the major thoroughfares of Dublin, running from St. Stephens Green to College Green. Lined with high-end shops it is considered the fifth most expensive main shopping street in the world.
Grafton Street is also famed for the Trinity College Provosts House, the Molly Malone statue, and street performers. Famous entertainers such as Glen Hansard (from the movie "Once"), Damien Rice, and Rodrigo y Gabriela have plied their musical craft on Grafton Street as street buskers.

C.J. Cooper connected on a career-high four three point field goals, and UTEP tied its season high with 10 trifectas in a 65-53 win over Rice on Wednesday at the Don Haskins Center.
Cooper (14 points) scored in double figures for the first time this season and for the fourth time in a Miner uniform, shooting 4-for-5 from beyond the arc. The Miners (13-8) knocked down 10-of-19 triples for the second time in three games in reaching the midway point of the Conference USA schedule with a 6-2 mark in league play.
"It was a game that we probably needed. We had a chance to play against zone all night long," UTEP coach Tim Floyd said. "I think that will help us somewhere down the road."
The Miners trailed just once, at 3-2, before blowing out to a 23-10 lead midway through the first half. After Rice (5-17, 1-7 C-USA) cut the deficit to eight points, UTEP closed the half with an 8-2 run to take a 35-21 lead at the midway point. Both teams were sluggish to start the second period, with neither scoring in the first three and a half minutes.
"I thought they did a nice job in their zone. I thought we had a lot of opportunities, particularly at the start of the second half," Floyd said. "We missed five consecutive shots right at the rim to start the second half, and then an open three by Konner [Tucker]. We didn't get a lot of those shots down."
A 10-2 surge gave the Miners their largest lead of the evening, 48-29, on a three pointer by Cooper with 10:36 to play. Rice pulled within eight (48-40) on a three by Keith Washington with 7:19 remaining, but couldn't get closer.
The Miners enjoyed their third-best shooting night of the season (51.1 percent) while tying a season-high with 21 assists. John Bohannon (11 points) and Julian Washburn (10) joined Cooper in double figure scoring.
Cooper scored all 14 of his points in the second half, when he was perfect (4-for-4) from beyond the arc.
"C.J. won two games for us last year, Southern Miss at home and a game out in Hawaii," Floyd said. "This guy can make shots. He's got a real feel for the game. We knew that at some point he would help us win a game this year, and he did tonight. And I think that will happen in other games, because he can really shoot the basketball. He's clever in terms of being able to get it off and create separation, even though he's not a blinding athlete with great speed. He's got the head and shoulder fakes and the sweeps."
UTEP was outrebounded 30-27, with Cedrick Lang snaring a game-high eight boards. McKenzie Moore collected seven rebounds, part of a stellar stat line with nine points, seven assists, two blocks and two steals.
"We did not get an offensive board for a basket in the second half, which is really discouraging against a smaller team," Floyd said. "We didn't outrebound them, which is discouraging.
I thought McKenzie Moore played really well. He played really unselfish. He had a lot of opportunities where he could've tried to do more with the ball and probably would've been ok, but was willing to make the next pass. Cedrick Lang played well. I'm trying to get some of these other guys some minutes right now, but I really know that Ced is a guy I can count on. I know he can handle playing these minutes at the start of both halves."
The Miners assisted on 87.5 percent (21-of-24) of their field goals.
"That's not untypical of a team that's playing against a zone all night long, because generally that pass leads to the shot," Floyd said. "And when you see that we did not get offensive putback baskets, which generally don't have an assist behind them, that's where [the assists] came from tonight."
The Miners will cap a three-game homestand on Saturday against a Tulsa team that held them to 42 points in a three-point loss on Jan. 16 at the Donald W. Reynolds Center.
"I think we'll watch a lot of film tonight and tomorrow on those guys and see what's worked against them for other people," Floyd said. "We missed a lot of shots that night. They guarded us. They play a real spirited man-to-man defense, and we're going to have to play a lot better than we did at their place."
With Southern Miss losing at UCF earlier in the night, UTEP closed to within a game of the second-place Golden Eagles, setting up what should be a very interesting second half of the league slate.
"We recognize that we'll have opportunities against Southern Miss and Memphis. There are still a lot of games to be played," Floyd said. "We know that we let one kind of get away from us at UAB, but at the same time maybe we stole one at East Carolina that we had no business winning.
"We're not a dominant team by any means. We have to get better every night out. But I like our team. And I really like us in the years to come with what's happening right now and what's coming in here in the future. As long as we get an opportunity this year, we're going to try to steal every game we can, and look up and see where this thing is at the end."

LAKEVILLE — The Assawompset Pond complex will be included as part of a detailed study of the Narragansett Bay watershed that will result in updated flood plain maps for the entire area.
Nemasket River, Assawompset Pond and Long Pond were added to the larger study of the watershed, which started earlier this year, according to a press release from state Rep. Keiko Orrall's office.
The study is being conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey in partnership with FEMA Region 1.
"I am very happy that FEMA and the USGS have decided to included the (Assawompset Pond complex) in their study," Orrall, R-Lakeville, said in a statement.
"A year ago, we were facing flooding issues in Lakeville and in 2010 there was considerable flood damage to the region.
This study will give us important information so we can manage the water levels better."
The project is expected to be completed in July 2016.

Autism Speaks Fall Classic
On Monday, September 20, 2010- which was arguably one of the best days of weather we have enjoyed this year- Autism Speaks proudly kicked off its Inaugural Autism Speaks Fall Classic. Joining us was our title sponsor, Shop Rite, and together we hosted an exciting day of golf at the illustrious Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, NJ. It was a wonderful day that included an afternoon shotgun start on Baltusrol's famed Lower Course. The tournament included several course contests and culminated with a Hole in One by Dr. Peter Kapsimalis who will take away a lease provided by Ray Catena Lexus of Freehold. We are thrilled to announce that the Fall Classic raised over $200,000 for Autism Speaks!
Evening cocktails included a silent and a live auction that offered an opportunity to help fund family services initiatives for adults with autism. Honorary Co-Chair and Autism Speaks Co-Founder Bob Wright rolled highlights from the first annual and highly successful "Light It Up Blue" initiative on World Autism Awareness Day, on April 2. Event Co-Chair and President of The Bachman Company, Scott Carpenter hosted the evening program which included a "Thank You" video with a personal message from himself and fellow event Co-Chairs, Anne & Dave St.Clair. The video was a touching piece that provided the Baltusrol audience with an overview of what autism is and why their support is so crucial to our cause.

Those photos make me want to go out golfing. However, I don't have the money to be able to become a member at a local golf course. Anyways my golf swing is pathethic. Either I need to have a local golf pro teach me the proper swing, or better yet try to emulate Johnny Carson's famous golf swing on The Tonight Show.

Tomas Shaughnessy was packing his bags for Ireland when he spoke to the Irish Voice about his J-1 visa experience in New York this summer.
"It's the best summer of your life," the Galway man reflected.
Shaughnessy is heading back to the west of Ireland after enjoying the ultimate J-1 experience this summer. Living in Riverdale with some fellow University of Limerick students, the 21-year-old is traveling home for his graduation.
After arriving in New York in early June, the majority of the group had the promise of work here before leaving home.
"A relation of one of the lads helped us out," he said. "We were lucky as we had relations, so we were never really too badly stuck."
Most of the group spent the summer working in carpentry upstate in Cold Spring, New York. Another one of his friends got a job in Manhattan working in demolition.
"It was a Monday to Friday job and a lot more relaxed compared to home," he said about his job in carpentry.
"We had the craic and enjoyed ourselves, we were all working, we weren't scrounging and we had enough money to keep us going from one week to the next."
The highlight of the summer, Shaughnessy says, was a skydive in Long Island with four of his friends.
"It was unbelievable, absolutely class, the thrill was something else," he recalls before admitting he didn't bother telling his mother back in Ireland, to prevent her worrying, "I will tell her when I go back," he added.
Shaughnessy is due to graduate as a woodwork teacher and has already begun applying for jobs in Ireland.
"I could get lucky, I have applied for a few but no luck yet," he said.
In the Aisling Irish Community Center in Yonkers, executive director Orla Kelleher says most students who the center dealt with anticipated the biggest challenge would be finding work.
"Possibly they didn't have that much disposable income given the economy in Ireland," Kelleher told the Irish Voice.
"Most were successful in finding work and made a great effort.
"I think they were resigned to taking whatever they could get, as long as they could pay the rent. They were really good about that and were prepared to put in a hard day's slog for their money," she added.
The center estimates more than 500 Irish J-1 students came through its doors over the course of the last 12 weeks, with more than 300 completing surveys based on their experience. The center is in the process of trying to establish a directory of J-1 employers for future years.
Kelleher pointed out that accommodation continues to be the biggest hurdle that students encounter, with some returning to New York from seasonal resorts unable to find suitable lodgings.
"Quite a few came back from places like Montauk and Ocean City where they failed to secure accommodation, despite finding work," she told the Irish Voice.
In Maspeth, Queens, Sean Barrett from Roscommon is enjoying his last week in the Big Apple. An architectural design student, his J-1 experience marked his inaugural trip to the U.S.
"I cannot believe it's almost over," he reflected.
"The first time I went into Manhattan I got off at Penn Station and my back was broke because my head was up in air the entire time looking at the buildings," the 21-year-old student recalls.
Initially lured to New York by the promise of a seasonal work, upon arrival in early June the job failed to materialize. Barrett ended up living in Maspeth with six girls in a three-bedroom house.
"I was about two or three weeks looking for work, I sent out about 50 or 60 resumes and I heard nothing," he said.
"I was walking the streets for days but every time I heard no it made me more determined to find something.
"I was also checking Craigslist. As soon as I saw a job posting I would run to the place with my resume, my good shirt and shoes ready to make a good impression."
In the end his determination paid dividends and he landed a serving job in an upmarket eatery in Sunnyside.
"The main difference is serving is very relaxed and open at home, whereas here the barman and wait staff are completely separate. You cannot just run in behind the bar and get it yourself!" he explained.
Barrett's summer highlights include a trip to Six Flags Great Adventure, the night time view from the Empire State Building and Ground Zero, which he described as "touching."
The cost of living is what surprised him most. "You pay for everything, you made a few hundred and save a bit but it goes so quick," he reflected.
Savoring the last week of his J-1 summer, Barrett is content he got to experience the fast paced life of New York City.
"You hear stories from so many people but nothing compares to seeing it for yourself," he said.
"Even still the skyline view driving across the Queensborough Bridge at night is brilliant. That will always get me. I am still in awe."

I bought some Christmas decorations and they are a fantastic memory of our trip. Thanks once again." ~Mandy and Carl from Shrewsbury, England United Kingdom.

Chamber Says It Won't Stop Some New Revenues
A congressional budget conference formed in last week's deal to reopen the government is generally given slim odds of achieving any breakthroughs in Washington's ongoing standoff over tax increases and entitlement cuts.
And yet, the possibility of some tax increases as part of a budget compromise never seems to go away. On Monday, U.S. Chamber of Commerce officials said again that their group wouldn't stand in the way if a deal by the conference committee includes new revenues.
To be sure, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) isn't going to get the $1 trillion in new revenue he has sought as the price for a big budget deal, officials said.
"Good luck, Harry – ain't happening," said Chamber President Tom Donohue at a breakfast with reporters sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor. Nor are Democrats going to win higher tax rates, officials predicted.
But the Chamber doesn't oppose higher government revenues per se. Chamber officials mentioned some relatively uncontroversial possibilities for raising more money, such as higher revenues from economic growth spurred by a tax overhaul. But they appeared to leave the door open to other possible changes, such as closing of tax breaks, without being too specific.
Among the possibilities for a smaller budget deal that top congressional Democrats have floated: ending tax breaks for big energy companies and imposing a minimum tax on very high-income people – basically, households making more than $1 million. That's the so-called Buffett Rule, named for Warren Buffett, the billionaire investor who's advocated it.
Mr. Donohue suggested the Chamber would have serious doubts about a Buffett Rule tax, saying there are already "huge hidden taxes" on the wealthy as a result of recent changes – for example, higher taxes on investment income.
But the Chamber is "willing to discuss ways to strengthen the economy," Mr. Donohue said.

SAN LORENZO -- The visiting Cougars (2-1) scored four different ways to take a 19-0 lead in the second quarter, then used two touchdown runs by Franco Napal in the second half to hold off a fierce rally by the Rebels (2-1).
The Cougars' King Slocum opened the scoring with a 20-yard touchdown catch from Adriano Arroyo. Then Slocum blocked a San Lorenzo punt out of the end zone for a safety and a 9-0 Newark Memorial lead. The Cougars finished the half's scoring with a 33-yard field goal by Bryon Jones and a four-yard run by Napal.
Newark Memorial increased its lead when Napal scored from three yards out on the Cougars' first drive of the second half. But San Lorenzo scored on its next two possessions on a 14-yard pass from Kevin Mosi to Hamilton To'o and a five-yard run by Raymon Moore. Moore's two-point conversion run after his touchdown narrowed Newark's lead to 25-15 with 3:05 left in the third quarter.
But Napal gained 36 of his game-high 134 yards rushing in a key Newark drive in the fourth quarter, which ended with a Napal 12-yard touchdown run. San Lorenzo scored with 33 seconds left on a diving 30-yard touchdown grab by Keenan Johnson from Mosi, and a two-point conversion pass from Mosi to To'o closed the deficit to 31-23. But Newark grabbed the onside kick and ran out the clock. Johnson had five catches for 140 yards in the game.

Knitter's Review
June 15, 2006
This weekend I made my first journey to Indianapolis. I didn't visit a single yarn store while I was there, but my head was filled with yarn and books and tools and gadgets and people the entire weekend. How is that possible?
Because Indianapolis hosted the summer TNNA trade show, a semiannual event where needlearts industry folks go to network and conduct serious business. What you see at the trade show tends to reflect what most people will see in their LYS in the coming months.
Photography is strictly forbidden on the show floor, so I can't show you anything—I'll tell you about it instead.
And on a personal note, there will be no newsletter next week. I'm working on a large writing project and need a week in June, July, and August to hide out and make progress. I'll see you June 29th!

The Washington County Commissioners approved the position of Washington County dog warden to be transfered permanently to the Washington County Sheriff's Office at their Thursday meeting.
The commissioners appointed sheriff's deputy Kelly Schubert to the position on a trial basis in January after the previous dog warden retired. Though she is supervised by the sheriff's office, her pay is administered by both the sheriff's office and the county, an arrangement that creates unnecessary difficulties, said Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks.
"Now it's kind of cumbersome. This way it is going to be handled internally by the Sheriff's Office," he said.
Schubert's appointment as dog warden has been a tremendous success so far, said Mincks.
When the position is transfered on Jan. 1, the sheriff's office will oversee both the operational and financial aspects of the position, he said.
The county commissioners also approved for the sheriff's office to begin using nine Multi-Agency Radio Communication Systems throughout the county. On the current system, the office only has communication coverage in 65 percent of the county. Using the MARCS will up that to a coverage area of 95 percent, said Mincks.
In other business:
The commissioners listened to an explanation of upcoming changes in county employees' flexible spending accounts.
"It's all online this year," explained Susan Burkhart, Washington County safety and loss coordinator.
County employees will have to be taught how to go through the online enrollment process. In addition, Aflac, which previously administered the flex spend accounts, has contracted with WageWorks, meaning money left in flexible spending accounts at the end of the year will be temporarily frozen while the transfer takes place, said Burkhart.
The commissioners approved the continuation of Buckeye Hills-Hocking Valley Regional Development District as the administrator of activities under the Community Development Block Grant.
Commissioners signed a request to terminate a loan secured from the Ohio Water Development Authority to provide access to a sewage system for residents of Oak Grove. That project will be put on hold indefinitely because the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency made sewage access for Devola residents the priority, said Washington County Commissioner Cora Marshall.
"We took out a planning loan for there," she said. "We took one out for Devola because we knew these projects were coming up with Ohio EPA and at the time we didn't know which one that they were going to be mandating."

When CR "died" in Dec I found my way to RA (runningahead). My initial post over there resulted in around 100 replies
mostly good. Some offense was taken by RA folks for pontificating in my first post that was addressed to "CR refugees." Lots of my CR friends "defended" me. Since then I have posted somebut not much reaction. I guess I miss the old CR. Anyways, if "old" CR folks are around give me a shout. I would like to post more hints for newbies as I close in on year 32 of continuous running and close to 66,000 miles(65,719mi as of today). My motto remains: start EZthen back off. Nick
PS For "old" CR newbies. I finally qualified for Boston in February (age:64/finished marathon in 3:57:48) faster by 12 seconds than my first marathon back in December 1977 as a 34 yr old. Remember: there is no finish line.
Long Run Nick! We've been hoping to hear from you again! Your wise counsel has definitely been missed around here--you are an institution AND an inspiration! I'm one of the CR newbies; about the time I got to know my way around, the change happened and you left. But that has not kept us from remembering the things you had told us, and there have been quite a few posts while you were gone quoting you, or reminding someone of your running philosophy!
There was a post around here somewhere where your BQ was reported. No one is surprised, mind you, just happy that you will get your day. I can't wait to hear how your training is going, and what it's like to actually run Boston. Will you stick around and let us watch over your shoulder?
Some things have changed around here, but not the need for new runners to hear from someone who always has something interesting and worthwhile to say!
Hi Long Run Nick!
I just started to use CR about 2 months before the change. I sign in sometimes over at RA but not very often, I miss your words of inspiration, and have actually used some of them to encourage others. I have ran 3 5k's since January and always have your words of wisdom with me. The one that is always in my mind is it is ok to walk what is the hurry if you are a lifetime runner. So I always remember that it is ok to slow down and and not be in a hurry. I am not sure of the exact phrase ! I am glad to see you back posting over here and hope you continue too.
And Congrats again on Qualifying for the Boston. I read that over at RA !
It sounds like Long Run Nick is trying to do a bit of recruiting.
I miss the old CR newbies forum as well. While the Running 101 forum at runningahead.com is promising, it needs more traffic, both newbies and oldbies. Check it out. And while you're there, check out the running log as well. It's a lot like the old CR log only more flexible.
YAY Nick!!! We all miss you too! I am so excited to see you here. I got quite a bit of flak for the post I made over at RA as well, but there is always great information on all of these sites and I am glad you dropped in here to help everyone out. I know I have carried on the "SLOW DOWN" mantra as well as Tom's "Run for fitness and eat to lose weight" mantra. This Newbie board is still active and interesting and some really great new "regulars".
Please tell me you're not recruiting. : l This forum is great.
LRN - I've always thought your advice was right on, so glad to see you here. Congrats on the BQ!
It's been quieter since the migration but I still consider this home. I particiapte in the Weight Watchers Runners thread, and we've actually had new people jump in since the merger, which is great!
Stick around....
many congrats on qualifying for Boston ! thats awesome - I`m sure a lot of poeple are thrilled to see you back.
If you feel so inclined there is a very active half marathon weekly training thread - we are mosly new slow runners - I`m sure your support and advice would be welcomed should you chose to stop by !

Nice comments. Thanks my fellow runners. I will check out the 1/2 marathon group. As far as Boston is concerned, I am not running it this year. I ran as a bandit way back in 1978
had a number"TOO SLOW Ft Mc Clellan, AL". It was a ball,my second marathon. Took about 7 min to get to the starting line. I ran a 3:51 and got great feedback the whole way. My goal was to qualify. I may go next year. Ofcourse, that hasn't stop me from ordering the "Official 112 th Edition BM hat and jacket"that I will probably wear into the summer here in FL . Talk about self-promoting--I even have a rear window sticker on my MINI Cooper S that reads "Boston Qualifier 26.2". I got it bad, don't I?
I will post stuff from x to x. Thanks again for the warm welcome. Run EZ. Walk some
skip somehave fun while you run. Nick
LRN - where in FL are you located? I live in Bradenton on the gulf coast. Nice to see another Floridian runner

Nick - It is nice to see you here. I am fairly new to CR myself starting back in November of last year. I have read your old posts, it is great to have you hear and look forward to seeing you at CR. You know I can understand people leaving because of the running log but what makes a forum good is it's people. The software the forum uses is not as important to me.
oh no! not a Noles fan! And an Auburn fan too? you're killing me here. LOL Tallahassee is nice though, at least you get cooler weather up your way.

Hey Nick!
I didn't post much over at CR, but I started hanging out there almost daily when I started running on April 2, 2006. When that shut down, things got a little nutty and I haven't been hanging out anywhere. Anyway, I've been lurking again and just thought I'd let you know there are probably lots more out here like me (lurking but not posting).
By the way, it took me an entire year of running to understand how to "slow down". Oh man, do I enjoy running much more now.
Hey Nick, good to see you around...I too tried RA but just didn't feel the same sense of community as CR, so I came back...hope to see you posting more.

"Houdini" (9 p.m., History Channel): "Fear is how I know I'm alive," the title character of this two-part miniseries says as he explains what motivated him to spend his life defying death. Oscar winner Adrien Brody stars as the escape artist who rose from humble circus side shows to become America's first world-renown superstar. The film traces Houdini's public stunts as they grow more spectacular and risky, while also trying to delve into what made him tick.
"The Unauthorized Saved By the Bell Story" (9 p.m., Lifetime): Hormone alert. Time for a nostalgic trip back to Bayside High School. This new film tells the story of six unknown actors, including Mario Lopez and Elizabeth Berkley, who were thrust into the spotlight in the early '90s when they were cast in the popular sitcom. The film features Dylan Everett as Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Sam Kindseth as Dustin Diamond (Screech!), Julian Works as Lopez, Allyssa Lynch as Tiffani-Amber Thiessen and Tiera Skovbye as Berkley.
"America's Next Top Model" (9 p.m., The CW): Um, this could be awkward: On tonight's edition, the contestants take part in another photo shoot, during which they're given only a string to wear.

The Power to Tax (Progressively) is the Power to Destroy
It seems that when Chief Justice John Marshall was preparing the opinion for McCulloch v. Maryland he tapped into an eternal truth. "The power to tax is the power to destroy," he wrote on behalf of a unanimous Supreme Court. Those words are no less true in 2014 than they were in 1819. Taxation appropriates money from one person or group of people in order to give it to others. There is no way to escape taxes. But there is a way to make taxes somewhat fairer. One way is to make taxes flatter and expand the tax base.

Hormel's been busy airing commercials for their Rev sandwich wraps. The commercials are all about physical fitness, being the best you can be, participating in sports and achieving goals. Somehow or another an ad agency managed to connect the dots between those things and a sandwich wrap. Go figure.
While FoodFacts.com might not see the sense behind that connection, Hormel does. Supposedly their Rev wraps are just the thing anyone needs to be able to maximize performance. All 8 varieties deliver between 15 and 17 grams of protein … enough to power plenty of physical activity. Sounds great, right?
Before you go grabbing a Rev wrap on your way to the gym though, you might want to read on and find out what's going on beyond all that protein.
Let's take a look at the Italian Style Rev Wrap. There are actually 81 ingredients in this one. That's a lot for a wrap that contains pepperoni, genoa salami, mozzarella cheese in a rolled flatbread. Here's the list:
Flatbread (Flour Enriched [Wheat Flour, Barley Malted Flour, Niacin Vitamin B3, Iron Reduced,Thiamine Mononitrate Vitamin B1, Riboflavin Vitamin B2, Folic Acid Vitamin B9] , Water, Wheat Gluten Vital, Soy Flour, Contains 2% or less of the following: [Sugar Brown Liquid, Oats Fiber,Soybeans Oil, Olive Oil Extra Virgin, Spices, Baking Soda, Prunes Juice Concentrate, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Wheat Protein Isolate, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Propionate, Yeast,Cellulose Gum, Fumaric Acid, Salt, Guar Gum, Calcium Sulphate, Carrageenan, Xanthan Gum, Maltodextrin, Annatto Color, Enzymes] ) , Cheese (Cheese Mozzarella Low Moisture Part Skim [Milk Part Skim, Cheese Culture, Salt, Enzymes] , Cheese American [Milk, Cheese Culture, Salt, Enzymes] , Water, Cream, Sodium Phosphate, Salt, Sorbic Acid) , Salami Genoa(Pork, Beef, Salt, Contains 2% or less of the following: Citric Acid [Dextrose, Water, Spices,Sodium Ascorbate Vitamin C, Lactic Acid Starter Culture, Sodium Nitrate Nitrite, Garlic Powder,BHA, BHT, Citric Acid] ) , Pepperoni (Pork, Beef, Salt, Contains 2% or less of the following: Citric Acid [Water, Dextrose, Spices, Lactic Acid Starter Culture, Oleoresin of Paprika, Garlic Powder,Sodium Nitrate Nitrite, BHA, BHT, Citric Acid] )
We can easily live without plenty of the ingredients in this wrap. Curiously, though, it contains only 290 calories. We're going to assume that there isn't much meat and cheese inside that flatbread. It also contains 20 grams of fat, 10 mg of saturated fat, 55 mg of cholesterol, and 960 mg of sodium. So besides those 15 grams of protein, there's really not a whole lot else in there that's doing much for your body — or fueling your workout or sports performance.
It's our considered opinion that a different option that contains leaner protein, better fats, and real ingredients would be a better boost. Nice try Hormel, but we'll "rev" up without the wraps.

Sinkhole petition is now online
Published: Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 8:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 8:44 p.m.
An online petition asks the Obama administration to declare the Assumption Parish sinkhole a federal emergency and for a federal team of experts to get involved.
The sinkhole was discovered Aug. 3 between the Grand Bayou and Bayou Corne communities. Some residents were ordered to evacuate and haven't been allowed to return.
The petition, hosted by WhiteHouse.gov, had fewer than 1,500 signatures on Saturday.
If it gets 25,000 signatures before Feb. 4, it will receive a response from the Obama administration.

Shorter sweeps No. 18 UWA in softball
Published: Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 11:44 p.m.
ROME, Ga. | Shorter capitalized on five West Alabama errors and limited the third-best hitting team in NCAA Division II to just 15 hits in two games on the way to a sweep of the Tigers in a Gulf South Conference doubleheader Wednesday. The Lady Hawks won the opener, 6-2, and took the nightcap, 7-2.
The 18th-ranked Tigers fall to 17-8 overall and 8-6 in GSC play. Shorter is 24-4 and 12-2 in a transition year from NAIA to NCAA Division II and the GSC. The Lady Hawks were the 2012 NAIA national champions.
Starting pitchers Christina Ezell (10-0) and Maddie Bray (8-3) both went the distance for Shorter. UWA starters Sarah Ray (10-2) and Jessica Brock (3-5) were tagged with the losses. Four UWA pitchers walked nine without recording a strikeout in the second game.
First baseman Anna Shartzer had two hits in each game and drove in a run to lead the UWA offense. Shortstop Michal Robertson and right fielder Brooklyn Phillips collected three hits apiece for the Tigers. Phillips drove in two runs.
West Alabama plays at Union in Jackson, Tenn., Saturday in a GSC doubleheader at 2 p.m.

Man allegedly stole clothes, bikes, laptop
Published: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 2:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 2:38 p.m.
A man is accused of stealing the clothes he was wearing, two bicycles he had ridden and the laptop he was selling last week, Thibodaux Police said.
Police said they were called about 2:30 p.m. Friday about a bicyclist trying to peddle a laptop he said he had won at Walmart.
Thibodaux Police, who were on bikes themselves, stopped Seth Martin, 33, 39062 Little Creek Drive, Gonzales, who fit the description, in the 300 block of East 7th Street when they saw him coming out of a home with a red bike, officers said.
Police said they learned that Martin saw a television in the front yard of that home and asked the homeowner if he could have it. Martin went inside with the owner and then stole the owner's red bicycle when the owner was in a back room.
The owner later told police Martin was trying to sell him a laptop, police said.
Martin is charged with felony theft of goods, theft, and two felony warrants out of St. John Parish, police said. He is in the Lafourche Parish jail in lieu of bonds totaling $7,000.

Mary Calvagna, MS
The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are usually administered to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions.
Since glaucoma usually has no symptoms and can occur in anybody regardless of risk factors, everybody should be screened for the disease as recommended by their physician.
Screening Tests
Regular eye exams by an eye care professional are the best way to screen for glaucoma. Because most people experience no symptoms with glaucoma, it is important to schedule a regular eye exam. The frequency depends on your age, risk factors, and general health. See the screening guidelines below.
During your eye exam, your eye care professional may do the following tests:
Visual acuity
—This test measures how well you see at various distances. You will be asked to look at a chart of letters or numbers and identify what you see.
—This test measures the pressure inside the eye. There are several types of tonometry; in air tonometry, a puff of air is blown onto the cornea to take the measurement. Another type uses a small plastic device (Goldman tonometer) that lightly pushes against your eye in order to measure your intraocular pressure. For this test, the eye is first numbed with an eye drop, so you do not feel anything.
—The eye care professional can see the drainage angle of your eye using a special lens. This can help determine if you are at risk for closed-angle glaucoma.
Pupil dilation
—Drops are put in your eyes that enlarge/dilate your pupils. This allows the eye care professional to see more of the inside of your eye. Your close-up (near) vision may remain blurred for several hours afterwards and you may be sensitive to bright light. Ask your doctor for a pair of sunglasses after the dilation.
—Once your pupils are dilated, the eye care professional will examine your optic nerve and the rest of your retina with an instrument called an ophthalmoscope. The color and appearance of the optic nerve may indicate if damage from glaucoma is present and how extensive it is.
Your doctor will probably take pictures of your optic nerve for future comparison.
Perimetry (visual field test)
—This test produces a map of the complete field of vision. It is used to check whether there is damage to any area of vision.
Since glaucoma slowly affects your peripheral, or side vision, you may not know you have any problems until detected on this test.
—Your physician may measure the thickness of your cornea using a special machine called a corneal pachymeter. Your eye is numbed with a drop first and it does not hurt.
Nerve Fiber Layer Analysis
—Your doctor may use a special machine, such as an OCT, GDx, or HRT, to measure the thickness of the nerve fiber around your optic nerve. This can often be compared to normative data from other people without glaucoma of your age, sex, and race. It also can be rechecked in the future to see if there is any loss of nerve fiber thickness with time.
Screening Guidelines
The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends the following:
Based on the results of the exam, your doctor will recommend a treatment plan and/or a schedule for follow-up visits.
You may need more frequent visits if you:
The eye exam also tests for other eye disorders, such as cataracts and macular degeneration.
Cautionary Note: If you currently have eye symptoms, you should call your provider immediately for an evaluation.
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Just stumbled on a web site that reviews 12V sola
They say that "WHITE-H20™" diaphragm compressors and air pumps are pretty good (they are the DC-8, DC-15, DC-20 and Dc-40 mentionned in an earlier post), but not to expect more than a few months of use from them:
Buy "The Pond Report" Highest Rated Solar Air Pumps
Over the years we have tested and evaluated the staying power and effectiveness of many DC 12V and 24 Volt pumps and one thing weve constantly noticed is that no matter what type of pump you buy, these 12V pumps are not going to give you years of service so buy a good cheap one! When I say cheap I dont mean some ebay special deal on a pump made in some far away country without care for product consistancy I mean buy a good qality pond pump that doesnt cost too much because you will be buying replacements every 3 to 9 months of continuos usage.
They have also reviewed "pur-water" compressors, which are the ones being sold by Kelln Solar that I mentionned in my previous post :
Pur Water
Simple DC air pumps look like a decent copy of a Thomas type blower built in to the dugout solar aerator developed by Kelln Solar:
Specifications Capacity: Aerates a 2 million gallon dugout @15ft Output: 2.9CFM Power Source: Solar Direct Compressor: Pur-Water Diaphragm continuous-duty cycle - dual Bleeder Valve System Voltage: 12V Mounting: In dugout Warranty: System - 1 year, Panels - 20 years Suitable for medium vegetation Items included with each system Pur-Water Compressor 12" Diffuser c/w Check Valve 4-50 Watt Solar Panel Panel Stand 8A Linear Current Booster Enclosure - weatherproof Spare diaphragm kit 50ft weighted hose, 50ft ¾" poly-hose
Available at Kelln Solar
Im not sure being a copy of a thomas pump is so good though:
Thomas 907 and 2907 Series Air Compressors - These are good quality but high priced and again the inconsistancy of the units makes us a bit nervous but the fact they can deliver 3.2 CFM and 14 PSI make this little grinders seem like a good deal if you can buy a few when they fry.

Oftentimes accessories can get to become a bit much and overload your marker with clutter. So when you want to drop the busy look for a sleek and simple design while retaining performance, take a look at the Trinity Compact Laser. It does its job with the minimum amount of materials and space necessary.
The compact laser features a high quality bright red laser with an ambidextrous push button switch and a remote pressure switch. It is finished in a hard anodized flat black ready to take on the wear and tear of many days of paintball and field days.
This accessory is perfect for any marker and especially pistols. Keep on the lookout for compact and quality accessories from Trinity.

I have my Mac set up as the main server. but if everyone is logged in it bogs down, so we've (most of us any-ways) come to the habit of logging out when done. This interferes with PMS though.
Is it possible to make PMS for Mac work no matter who is logged in? Possibly by turning it into a preferencepane or something? thanks.
I really don't know how hard it would be, but I believe all it requires is mapping the UI to the core commands, and slight tweaking to make it run outside of user logins.

Beckman Coulter Life Sciences offers an extensive line of human and non-human antibodies as well as a range of supporting reagents and immune monitoring products. The new antibodies are supplied in 1.0 mL of buffer, are ready to use and facilitate flexibility in experimental design.
"Convenience and specificity are important features for scientists," said Mario Koksch, vice president and general manager for Beckman Coulter Life Sciences' Flow Cytometry Business Unit. "These new antibodies are directed at important targets and will improve accuracy for researchers."
A strategic partnership between the companies enables Beckman Coulter Life Sciences to further diversify their extensive flow cytometry reagent portfolio and Trillium Diagnostics to broaden the reach of their products in the global market.
