Maintaining an exercise routine at any age requires significant motivation. However, the difficulty is often exacerbated with age.
According to a recent study published in the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, elders commonly report they cannot, will not or should not exercise.
Physical activity significantly declines progressively with age. As a direct result, elders experience preventable functional decline, loss of independence and increased medical conditions or diseases. Exercise can potentially delay, prevent or reverse the effects of a sedentary lifestyle. Despite the evidence supporting the health benefits for older adults, most seniors remain physically inactive.
A growing amount of literature documents the health benefits of physical activity among older adults. Many health care organizations have issued consensus statements extolling exercise for seniors, including the National Institutes of Health, the American College of Sports Medicine, American Heart Association, American Academy of Family Physicians, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the U.S. Surgeon General's Office. Establishing and sticking to an exercise plan requires one primary tool: motivation.
? ? ?
Motivation is defined as the forces acting on or within a person to initiate behavior. This definition includes both intrinsic and extrinsic factors.
The motivation equation adapted by Geelen and Soons encompasses four subjective factors: Motivation equals perceived chance of success multiplied by the perceived importance of the goal divided by the perceived cost multiplied by the inclination to remain sedentary.
The first factor, perceived chance of success, is most critical. The numerator also includes the perceived importance of the goal. Older adults have often developed a set of beliefs contrary to those of the rest of the population.
Equally important, most seniors have experienced a health care system very different than today's health system. The system in the past was more focused on cure and less on prevention and was driven by an outdated pathophysiology on the benefits of exercise. Through much of their lives, older adults were counseled that effective treatment of illness required physical inactivity. For example, the standard care of myocardial infarction and back pain called for prolonged periods of bed rest; now, exercise is the recommended practice.
The denominator of the motivation equation includes perceived costs of attempting to exercise.
The costs may be monetary, including the cost of gym membership, or purchasing appropriate attire, or the cost may be the risk of failure, pain, fatigue, loss of energy or time. The denominator also includes the inclination to remain sedentary, or the perceived benefits and value of remaining sedentary and avoiding activity. This includes habits of prior experiences, psychological issues and environment.
? ? ?
The methods required to overcome challenges of initiating exercise are multifaceted and require many layers. A source of great encouragement comes from physicians. Elders encouraged by their physicians to exercise report fewer barriers and exercise more than those without this level of support.
Additionally, physicians are able to address safety concerns expressed by seniors, address the costs of activity and treat concurrent morbidities. An additional source of support comes with education. Older adults must be educated about the benefits of physical activity. This, in turn, empowers seniors to play a more informed, active role in their own health.
Though the health benefits of physical activity for older adults are well established, exercise is an under-used form of health promotion, particularly for elders. Physicians, clinicians and concerned family members must play a more active role in motivating their aging patients to exercise.

google underwear bomber and cia...check out the Guardian...Government is rogue.
toilet paper of record scooped again! " ABC, CBS, NBC and all the cable news channels are all bought and paid for and report what they are told to report. The MSM lies to and instigates people into political argument and gossip that leads to dead end roads and distracts from the real issues. There is much better informational news reporting away from the Democrat and Republican tail-spinning arguments that are usually rooted in confusion and hate..." tip
I don't think you know what the term "rogue" means. Scary when one lifts the majority of their vocabulary from Ms. Palin.

Roger stunned by Tomas Berdych
Roger lost to Tomas Berdych in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon today, the six-time champions earliest loss at the All England Club since 2002. He was beaten 4-6, 6-3, 1-6, 4-6 by Berdych, the 12th seed from the Czech Republic.
"It was brutal for me. Every time he had a chance, he took it. If there's anything good about this it's I'm gonna get some rest," summed up Roger, who added he had been troubled by a stiff back and right leg injury.
Roger came in with an 8-2 career record against Berdych, having lost the first match at the 2004 Athens Olympics and the last in Miami this year. He also played his 25th consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinal.
Roger, who has appeared in every Wimbledon final since 2003, lost the first set, 4-6, but rallied back in the second set, which he won 6-3. Berdych looked uncomfortable and Roger hit his groundstrokes shorter. But unfortunately Berdych regained control. The Czech seized the third set 6-1, and got an early break in the fourth set and never yielded control, serving for the set at 5-4.
"I'm looking forward to some rest," Roger said after the match. You certainly deserve it!
Thank You.Those are Much better links :)
Thanks for that post and I googled like you said, adn her is the full GOAT piece... wonderful stuff!
Sorry, folks.The links above that I gave to the goat videos have turned rancid or something(very techno-unsavvy me) and open up to undesirable things now.
The first video can actually be easily accessed by googling for Rubinjayjay The G
You got it right again!!! You ARE the man. Pleased to read all that was said and it is as we should expect from Roger, he still has a passion for the game, but he is also realistic.
Jennico-bottom page 103- YOU GO GIRL!!!!! Totally agree.
The poems are beautiful...touching, a propos !!!
Thank you for sharing them with us.
They are so refreshing , so heartwarming at a time when we are all waiting impatiently for
Roger to come back...
And thank you for the websites. Tomorr

There is no denying that the Audi R8 and Porsche 911 are both hugely desirable supercars. But which is quicker when you take them off the road and onto the track?
On paper, the two are incredibly evenly matched. The Audi R8 V8 Coupe does 0-60mph in 4.7 seconds, while the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S manages the same sprint a tenth of a second quicker. The Audi is more powerful, but the Porsche is lighter and more efficient.
In this case, both have slick automatic gearboxes mated to complex four-wheel drive systems, ensuring unbeatable all-weather grip. But which is quicker round the tight and twisty test-track at Blyton?

By STEVE REEVES, Fort Jackson LeaderDecember 3, 2009
FORT JACKSON, S.C. -- Fort Jackson's fight against H1N1 is in full swing, and all Soldiers are expected to be vaccinated against that strain of the flu virus by block leave, health officials said this week.
"We will get it done," said Maj. Soo Kim-Delio, Moncrief Army Community Hospital's 2009-2010 Flu Team officer-in-charge. "We want to get all Soldiers vaccinated before they start traveling home to be with their families."
The Department of Defense has ordered 3.7 million doses of H1N1 vaccine, which is being distributed to military personnel around the world. Fort Jackson Soldiers are receiving the vaccine as it arrives on post, Kim-Delio said.
"As soon as we get the vaccine in, we get it to the Soldiers in 24 to 48 hours," she said.
Approximately 3,000 Soldiers were vaccinated the week of Thanksgiving.
Fort Jackson officials have made immunizing all Basic Combat Training and Advanced Individual Training Soldiers against both the seasonal and H1N1 strains of the flu a priority before block leave begins Dec. 17.
Kim-Delio said between 4,000 and 5,000 more doses of the H1N1 vaccine are needed to inoculate all trainees before block leave begins.
"Our goal is to protect all of the basic and AIT trainees because they tend to be in the age group that is most at risk," she said.
Fort Jackson is expected to receive a total of 20,000 doses of H1N1 vaccine during the coming weeks, which will be used to inoculate all Soldiers, civilian employees and family members.
Currently, H1N1 vaccines are given only to Soldiers, healthcare workers, pregnant women, caretakers of young children and those between 25 and 64 years old with certain high-risk medical conditions.
But beginning Dec. 10, the H1N1 nasal spray will be available to everyone on post who is between 2 and 49 years old.
Because the vaccination is a live virus, it is not recommended for those older than 49. The injectable virus is available for those 50-64 with high- risk medical conditions.
The vaccine is not being offered to those older than 64 because they are considered to be at lower risk of contracting the virus.
"Hopefully we will have vaccinated everyone by the end of January," Kim-Delio said.
So far, 7,000 military personnel and 1,000 civilians at Fort Jackson have received H1N1 immunizations, Kim-Delio said. Another 21,600 military personnel and 7,000 civilians have received seasonal flu vaccinations, she said.
Health-care officials recommend that people get immunized and practice good hygiene to prevent the spread of both H1N1 and the seasonal flu. People experiencing flu-like symptoms are urged to stay home from work for at least 24 hours after the symptoms have subsided.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A former northeast Ohio congresswoman has decided not to run for governor in 2014.
Former U.S. Rep. Betty Sutton tells The Plain Dealer of Cleveland that after careful consideration she has decided not to challenge Republican Gov. John Kasich.
Sutton thanked supporters in an email sent to the newspaper Friday.
Ohio's new congressional maps drew Sutton, of Copley Township, into a district with Republican U.S. Rep. Jim Renacci of Wadsworth. Renacci won the pair's faceoff last fall.
Sutton's decision makes Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald the only Democrat formally exploring a run against Kasich.
Former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray, who once said he'd consider seeking the governorship, has not yet ruled out a 2014 campaign. He currently serves as President Barack Obama's consumer watchdog.

"Jimmy posted a drunk picture of you on Facebook"
"Jane responded to your inane comment about the election on Twitter"
"Random Insurance Salesmen would like to connect on LinkedIn"
"Something actually happened on Google+. Whoa!"
These notifications might be important to you, but do you need them in your email inbox? Probably not. Do yourself a favor – find all of the notification settings for all of your social networks in one place, then turn them off. NotifyMeNot is a simple webpage you can use to fight the flood of useless social emails filling your inbox so you can instead use email to read messages from other humans.
Modern life basically depends on email, and man: can it ever get overwhelming. It seems like every social network, website and business views email as a simple way to get your attention, and all of them crave it desperately. The result is newsletters from stores you shop at and notifications from social networks you barely use.
From the perspective of Facebook, Twitter and similar companies this makes sense. Email is something you check every day, so sending you email is a quick way to get your attention. But no one is questioning whether these emails are valuable to Facebook and Twitter. What is worth questioning is whether these emails are valuable to you. If you feel overwhelmed by email it's probably a good idea to turn these notifications off, and NotifyMeNot will show you how.
Using Notifiy Me Not
To get started simply head to NotifyMeNot. You'll see a list of links:
Each of these buttons takes you to the notifications settings page. For example, here's the notifications page for Google+:
If you're like most people you probably didn't realize these annoying emails were optional. Take your time and turn off the things you don't need; it's up to you. Confused about what everything means? NotifyMeNo also offers complete breakdowns of what all the settings mean:
Of course, Google+ notifications aren't a huge problem because nothing happens on that site. Ever. But don't worry: the site contains links and instructions for email evildoers Facebook and Twitter as well.
The site currently offers links and instructions for:
- Google+
- OK Cupid
- YouTube
- Foursquare
- MeetUp
- Amazon
- Match
Want to know about another service? You can leave a message requesting it, helping make everyone's inbox less cluttered.
Other Email Reducing Sites
Need more help managing your inbox? We've written a few articles about services for just that; here are some examples.
- Mass unsubscribe from nuisance emails and newsletters using Unsubscribr
- UnrollMe unsubscribes your unwanted mailing lists
- UnsubscribeDeals turns off emails from every daily deal service
- Gmail's Priority Inbox solves the bacn problem
It's one of the most important parts of a healthy information diet: scheduling time to interact with certain content instead of constantly consuming. NotifyMeNot can help by making the time you spend checking your email about checking email, instead of being about checking your email and every other social media service you use.
What notifications did you turn off? Let me know in the comments below, along with any other email-reducing ideas you might have.

This is to let you know that DJ has resigned from the XOOPS Council.
I am happy to announce that:
- Trabis (who was in charge of XOOPS 2.4.x series)
- ForMuss (who was in charge of XOOPS 2.5.x series)
- BitC3R0 (author of the EXM fork and RMCommon utilities)
have agreed to take the lead on creating bug-free XOOPS 2.5.2, and on working together on XOOPS 2.6. We'll be also reaching out to other top developers who have been active in the past in XOOPS but left XOOPS for various reasons.
So the future for XOOPS users is assured - we have the currently top XOOPS developers (Trabis, ForMuss, BitC3R0) forming a strong team to lead us forward.
I strongly believe that the worst is behind us, and with Trabis, ForMuss, BitC3R0 we'll have finally a great team environment, where contributions from all members will be valued and appreciated.
Viva XOOPS!

USDA Guarantees Loan to Florida Biofuels Facility
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced on August 18 that it issued a $75 million loan guarantee to support construction of a waste-to-energy bioprocessing facility in Vero Beach, Florida. The plant will produce up to 8 million gallons per year of cellulosic ethanol and will create an estimated 380 new jobs.
The facility, to be completed by the summer of 2012, will use a gas fermentation process to produce cellulosic ethanol from citrus fruit, vegetable, and yard wastes. The plant will consume an estimated 300 dry tons of organic material per day and will produce enough electricity to run the plant and provide for the power needs of 1,400 homes. It is estimated the facility will create 380 jobs. Compared to gasoline, the ethanol produced by the plant will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 90%. The loan guarantee was issued through USDA Rural Development's Biorefinery Assistance Program. DOE has also supported this technology with $50 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding. See the USDA press release, a DOE Energy Blog post, and the USDA Biorefinery Assistance Program webpage.

Apple Polishes BlackBook
Trying to resist the newly released BlackBook with the 2.4GHz Dual 2
Core processor and the upgraded 250Gig hard drive was not something I
could do resulting in my being third in line to get my hands on the
first distributions. Absolutely wonderful little machine. Apple has
improved on an already superior the Wi-Fi and BlueTooth capabilities
and they tweaked them even more on this new BlackBook. It is
amazingly fast and starts up at the snap of the fingers. Look away
for a moment and your desktop appears like magic. I've put my "older"
BlackBook up for auction sale on eBay and I'm already seeing 70+
visits and 9 watchers. No one ever bids until the last hour and I"m
hoping to see it sold and going to shipping by tomorrow afternoon.
New MacPro 3.2GHz Sizzles!
That's no fabrication either. Now takes me three minutes to burn a
data DVD, and rendering, capturing and editing movies takes almost
half the time it did before. The machine is so smooth and quiet I
often have to look down to make sure the power light is on.
3G iPhone By Mid-Year
Apple has signed a deal to release a 3G version of the iPhone and we
can expect to see it by mid-year, probably July or August of this
year. Steve Jobs has been traveling three times as much this last
quarter in his company jet and Apple's R&D department spending has
increased by 34% - evidence of additional iPhone development and
Steve's ongoing involvement in signing new deals with wireless
carriers to expand the iPhone market. The chips for the 3G iPhone
will be supplied by German chipmaker Infineon Technologies AG. You
can also expect to see the iPhone being offered via O2 in Ireland on
March 14th but without visual voicemail.
Jobs' Heir-Apparent Tim Cook Calms Investors
Apple's shareholders admit to being ill at ease with the thought of
losing Steve but Tim Cook stepped forward yesterday and spoke before
an assembly at Goldman Sachs Investment Symposium and impressed the
hell out of everyone there. So much so that Apple's stock rose 4%
from the appearance. Shareholders can be assured that when Steve
steps down and Tim Cook steps up that Apple is in very capable hands.

AMES, Ia. –Royce White had planned on playing Saturday.
Instead, the Cyclones forward spent most of the day bouncing between the locker room and the bench suffering from the flu.
White played just three minutes during the Cyclones' 67-65 win over Mississippi Valley State at Hilton Coliseum.
His line for the game: 0-for-1 from the field and one rebound.
How was White feeling after the game?
"Dead," he said.
The Cyclones desperately missed White's offensive support in the second half. White, who entered the game averaging 14.2 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game, told Cyclones coach Fred Hoiberg he wanted to play.
In the three minutes he did, White looked tired, sluggish, and sick.
"He said he wanted to go out and give it a shot," Hoiberg said. "I commend him for that."
Some of news and notes from Saturday's game…
Melvin Ejim continues to relish his role off the bench.
Ejim tallied his first double-double of the season (fifth of his career), scoring 15 poitns and grabbing 15 rebounds.
He said he enjoys being one of the first off the bench.
"That's just helped me feel more comfortable on the court and be more at ease," Ejim said. "I don't mind it. I think I've been playing well."
"You've got to give them credit for playing well but at the same time, I don't think we acn say, 'well, they played well,' and accept that. There were things we didn't do." Cyclones guard Scott Christopherson on Mississippi Valley State
Iowa State improved to 4-0 against MVSU and 18-0 against teams from the SWAC…The Cyclones are now 16-4 on New Year's Ever…Chris Babb matched a career-high with three steals. Babb also added two big blocks…Anthony Booker matched a season-high with 10 points…Tavon Sledge missed another game Saturday, sitting on the bench in sweats while he nurses an injury.

As a company with operations that touch nearly every country and territory in the world, diversity is part of our identity. Our employees and our customers hail from just about every walk of life.
So it makes sense that we would support diversity in our communities as well. UPS recently joined forces with the Greater Louisville Hispanic Latino Business Council (HLBC) and Greater Louisville International Professionals group to host a networking event for women- and minority-owned businesses in Louisville, Ky. The city is home to our airline and our 5.2 million square-foot international hub Worldport.
According to Adam Ruiz, "UPS has a strong history of diversity within the organization, but thanks to the relationship with the HLBC, UPS started to emphasize the rapidly growing Hispanic community as part of its diversity goals," the HLBC's immediate past president said.
The event, held in UPS's aircraft hangar, brought in about 300 from the local business and civic communities and featured keynote speaker Griselda Hernandez. The 18-year UPS veteran heads UPS operations in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. She spoke about her career and specifically about her time in Mexico, her native country. Griselda also spoke of her views on diversity. "I am strongly convinced that diversity and support for women's development in any organization are fundamental to success," she said.
The occasion also provided UPS with the opportunity to share information on our initiatives geared toward diversity and improving communities. Representatives from our supplier diversity program, our education assistance programs and our Center for Employment Opportunities were on-hand to answer questions.
Plenty of networking time was built into the event, as well as catering from some of the city's finest international restaurants – both helped create an informal atmosphere where folks could circulate and connect with each other.
UPS Vice President of Air Group Operations Mitch Nichols also spoke to the crowd, summing up the company's view perfectly, "At UPS, we appreciate diversity …we value it in our people, our customers and our business partners. Diversity is just good business."

Victim in triple-fatal crash ID'd
6 A 34-year-old man who died Friday when the SUV he was riding in slammed into a car stopped on the shoulder of state Route 78 has been identified as Larry Alvarez of Orange, authorities said. Two others were killed in the crash.
Alvarez was the front-seat passenger in the 1994 Jeep Cherokee that was driven by Debbi Sumi, 33, of San Marcos. Sumi, who did not have a valid driver's license or insurance, was arrested on suspicion of driving drunk and vehicular manslaughter.
Neither Sumi nor Alvarez were wearing seat belts.
The crash occurred about 12:30 a.m. when the SUV, which was heading west, reportedly swerved onto the right shoulder and hit a 2008 Nissan Altima that had pulled over for an ill passenger.
Erica Oliva of Oceanside and Susana Orozco of Escondido, both 23, were standing beside the Altima when they were struck and killed, according to the California Highway Patrol.

WHY: Both countries have their share of luxury shopping. But honestly, it's scouting the bazaars to find local designs and flavours that will make your day. Eye-catchy antiques, jewellery, trinkets, lamps, hookahs and pottery are your best bets here. In Marrakesh, Souk (market) Zrabia is known for traditional carpets and the Artisanal complexes, to the south of the Medina are most visited for other souvenirs. In Istanbul (which by the way, is one of the world's best street shopping locations), it has to be the Istanbul Bagdat Caddesi hands down.
TIP: Bargaining can be daunting but a worth-while experience in these markets. Bargain for half the price you'd have bought the item at back home. visitmorocco.com, istanbul.com

ORANGE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) -- Residents around West Michigan's East Lake consider it special, which is why they are aggressive about testing its water quality and controlling invasive species.
The Traverse City Record-Eagle reports that Sterling Heights resident Kenneth Les and his wife have spent their summers for 30 years in a lakeside cabin. They appreciate efforts made by Orange Township and Northwestern Michigan College to test it and keep it clean.
The Orange Township board recently approved paying $2,000 a year for five years to test its waters and control invasive species.
Students in the Grand Traverse Freshwater Society do half the tests, which helps control costs.
They planned to start testing this weekend for E. coli, dissolved oxygen and other nutrients, which can result in algae growth.

REGION: Veterans receive high school diplomas
Ed Archer had a decision to make when he was 18; finish high school or join the Army.
The Murrieta resident chose the latter, forsaking a diploma to serve his country.
Archer, 62, finally got to turn a tassel Wednesday as part of Operation Recognition , which bestows an honorary high school diploma to veterans who didn't graduate because they joined the service.
Archer was one of 30 veterans from the World War II, Korea and Vietnam eras who were honored by the Riverside County Office of Education at the sixth annual ceremony at the Moreno Valley Conference and Recreation Center.
Three other Southwest County residents were honored, but they were not at the ceremony. Navy veterans Jack Gale of Menifee and Daniel Gibson of Sun City, who served during World War II, and Joseph Laturno of Lake Elsinore, who served during the Vietnam War, will receive their diplomas and other recognition in the mail.
Archer was a senior at Long Beach Poly High School when he went into the Army in 1967.
"I was 18 at the time and I wanted to serve in Vietnam," Archer said after the ceremony. "I missed the last four months (of high school)."
Archer, who has lived in Murrieta for 22 years, served one of his two years in the Army in Vietnam. He became a barber and then owned a travel agency and is now a full-time student, studying for a bachelor's degree.
Despite career success, he said something was missing.
"Part of me just wasn't finished yet," Archer said. "I went back to school and got my associate's, and now I'm working on my bachelor's, but that's part of the puzzle that didn't fit. Now it does, and I'm very honored to be able to be a part of this."
Thomas Barber, 81, of Hemet, joined the Navy when he was 17.
"I finished the 10th grade and I knew the war was coming, so I decided I wasn't doing that well in school and I wanted to get out and see a little bit of the world," he said.
Barber, who was living in Valdese, N.C., said his father was against his enlisting, but his mother was on his side.
"It was a marvelous experience," Barber said. "I think I learned more than a lot of kids."
Barber earned his high school equivalency diploma while in the Navy and went on to jobs such as being a firefighter and reserve police officer.
He met his wife of 60 years, Eleanor, while serving. They have lived in Hemet for 32 years.
Operation Recognition is open to Riverside County residents who left high school to serve in the U.S. military during World War II, the Korean War or the Vietnam War.
More than 230 veterans now have received diplomas in Riverside County through the program .
The program also awards diplomas to Japanese-Americans who did not complete high school due to internment in a World War II relocation camp.
"This is something that's an open chapter in these individuals' lives," said Kenn Young, county superintendent of schools. "Getting that diploma is symbolic. Having completed it is a rite of passage."

Rewards, Collections and Other Weapons
I. Rewards.
My idea is that once we have completed a certain number of things, we need a reward – not another one of those badges, a material reward – a gun, new challenge or perhaps even an item of clothing that might help you?
II. Collections
There should be collections of items according to era, and mechanics. For example, for a WWII collection we would have the MP40, Thompson 1928, K98, M1 Garand, Walther P38, Colt 1911, and so on and so forth. For mechanics we could have a 'Pioneers' collection – guns which have revolutionised warfare (StG 44, Winchester 1866, percussion cap rifle, etc.)
III. Weapons
We need different weapons – from different eras. How about the Martini Henry? A longbow? Crossbow? Musket? Sling?

CHARLESTON - The year was 1965.
The war in Vietnam continued to worsen, the latest craze in kids toys was the Super Ball and the Skate Board and fashions changed as women's skirts got shorter and men's hair grew longer.
In the Mid-Ohio Valley Rod O'Donnell was completing his junior year at Belpre High School and the Big Reds from Parkersburg High brought home the schools' fifth-ever boys' state track and field championship.
Few, if any, believed at that moment that would be the program's last state title in the sport or that O'Donnell, who would go on to coach at Marshall University, return to the MOV to take over the reigns of the program he once competed against and lead them to the threshold of a state crown.
"I can vividly remember that year," O'Donnell explained following his team's victory over crosstown rival Parkersburg South in the Region One championship held at the Erickson All-Sports Facility. "I knew a lot of those guys and I'm still friends with many of them."
Now, it is O'Donnell's team that has a chance to add yet another page to the rich tradition which is PHS sports as the Big Reds challenge returning state champion Jefferson at the 100th edition of the W.Va. State Track and Field Championships at the University of Charleston's Laidley Field.
"It would be something that nobody will ever forget," said O'Donnell. "PHS has a lot of tradition. It would be very, very appropriate."
But, it also won't be an easy accomplishment.
"They (the athletes) have to do what they've done all season. They must be focused. Totally focused in what they need to do. I'm counting on the guys who have been there before to take care of the guys that haven't."
Several of those are seniors Chandler Hamilton, Landon Miller and Evan Rhodes and junior Nic Cheuvront.
Hamilton is the pre-meet favorite to win the 100 and 200 meter dashes while Miller (110 HH) and Rhodes (300 IM) and Cheuvront (800) are among the favorites in their events.
"We're talking about a good quality team that we are taking to Charleston, but not quantity," continued the coach. "Our quality is going to have to show up and then we have got to hope that the rest of the teams can take away from Jefferson's quantity."
Teams like Hedgesville, Washington, Martinsburg, Huntington, Winfield and Parkersburg South.
"They've all been running well. Hedgesville, Washington and Martinsburg all ran well against Jefferson in their regional and Huntington and Winfield tied for their regional championship.
"Then, there is Parkersburg South. They have some tremendous field event kids and have been getting better and better on the track every week."
But, so have the Big Reds.
In the girls' division Hurricane is expected to unseat Buckhannon-Upshur for the team title with Parkersburg predicted to finish seventh, Ripley 17th and Parkersburg South 19th.
Other locals to keep an eye out for this weekend include Parkersburg South's Dylon Rippeto (shot put, discus), Evan DeGraef (high jump), Anthony Bibbs (long jump), and Kasey Williams (100, 200), Ripley's Zane Griffith (pole vault), Molli Cunningham (300 LH), and Laurel Miller (high jump) and Parkersburg's Dan Fox (long jump), Sarah Bever (100 HH, 300 LH, high jump) and Whitney McAtee (shot put, discus).
Action begins at 2 p.m. today with the 4 by 800 meter relays. Saturday's running events begin at 10 a.m. with the 400 meter dash.

Witness may have mistaken silver watch for gun, prompting Lockland LockdownUPDATED 6:22 PM EDT Oct 23, 2013
After reviewing surveillance video, it appears sunlight glinting off a watch worn by a student was mistaken for a gun inside Lockland, police said.Video Transcript
AND TONIGHT.... THE MYSTERY INTO WHETHER SOMEONE ACTUALLY HAD A GUN INSIDE THE SCHOOL... HAS BEEN CLEARED UP. AT LEAST, POLICE THINK SO. WLWT NEWS 5'S JOHN LONDON... IS LIVE AT THE SCHOOL TONIGHT ... WITH WHAT THEY'VE CONCLUDED. NO GUN. A HONEST MISTAKE. THAT'S WHAT POLICE BELIEVE HAPPENED HERE A LITTLE OVER 24- HOURS AGO... WE SHOW YOU NOW WHAT THEY THINK HAPPENED. Detectives don't doubt the sincerity of Alison Gill. They believe she thought she saw someone with a gun In the hallway of Lockland Elementary about an hour after classes let out Tuesday. But, they've concluded she was mistaken, despite the 9-1-1 call ... (Alison Gill - Called 911) ("thinks she just saw someone walk into our building with a gun.") As WLWT.com noted this morning, police reviewed interior surveillance video. They say it showed a student wearing a large watch near the western foyer, making no aggressive movements. But, as he started forward, the glare of the sun popped off his watch. They figure that's what the young scout leader saw, misinterpreting the image as a silver gun. (Alison Gill) ("he was walking down the other end towards the high school, it sounds like.") The Lockland lockdown lead to a drop-off in attendance today. Parents mulled it over last night. (Lockland parent) ("I might keep my kids home from school tomorrow.") Understandable, according to the Superintendent who conveyed to staff and students this morning what the circumstances apparently were. ("We were fortunate that it wasn't an actual person with a gun, which was what was feared at the beginning.") For Dr. Matt Bishop, the major matter going forward is communication, how to improve it during an after-hours lockdown situation. (Matt Bishop Ph.D. - Superintendent, Lockland Schools) ("Where's my social studies teacher in the middle school when I know he works late? And we know we have a girl scout troop that meets in the building, are they safe?") Lockland police emphasize tonight they believe the caller was genuine, no prank suspected. They're just relieved there's no gun suspect to track down. THE STUDENT WHO WORE THE WATCH WAS AMONG THE KIDS CLEARED FROM THE BUILDING BY POLICE... THE SCOUT LEADER WHO REPORTED SEEING A GUN TELLS US TONIGHT POLICE INFORMED HER ABOUT WHAT THEY'VE DETERMINED... SHE DIDN'T SOUND ALL THAT CONVINCED. LIVE IN LOCKLAND, JOHN LONDON, WLWT NEWS FIVE.

Volunteers can contact Prabhakar Shrestha or Jeff Henson at 402-472-9139 or email@example.com.

Ending Franchise Tax Responsibility for Unincorporated Political Committees
Effective for franchise tax reports originally due on or after Jan. 1, 2012, unincorporated political committees are no longer considered taxable entities. Senate Bill 1, 82nd Legislature, First Called Session, amended the definition of a taxable entity in Tax Code Section 171.0002 by adding an unincorporated political committee organized under the Election Code or under the provisions of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (2 U.S.C. Section 431 et seq.) to the list of nontaxable entities.
Before the passage of this provision, unincorporated political committees were considered taxable entities and were subject to the franchise tax for report years 2008 through 2011. Incorporated political committees have been, and continue to be, taxable entities.
Unincorporated political committees that have registered with our office and filed franchise tax for report years 2008 through 2011 are required to send a statement to our office before May 15, 2012, to inform us that they are an unincorporated political committee. When the information is received, we will end the franchise tax responsibility for the political committee. No additional filings are required.
Unincorporated political committees that have not registered with our office are also required to send a statement before May 15, 2012, to inform us that they are an unincorporated political committee. To satisfy franchise tax filing requirements for the previous years, the entity must also include a statement that the political committee's revenue for the 2008 through 2011 franchise tax reports is under the no-tax-due threshold, if applicable, or the entity must file the appropriate franchise tax report for each year.
Form letters to facilitate the filings for unincorporated political committees will be posted on our website and on the Texas Ethics Commission's website by mid-November.
Use That Print Button!
If you file your franchise tax reports using WebFile or Smart Forms, be sure to take full advantage of the built-in edits.
While the mathematical computations are done for you as you key in the line items, the most helpful edits are applied at the end when it's time to print or submit your return.
The PRINT button on the Smart Forms and in WebFile contains edits that allow us to check your return and warn you of possible processing problems so you can correct them before filing your return. Note: When you use WebFile, our system will prompt you to print a copy for your records before selecting SUBMIT; you will not be able to print a copy after submission.
Using the print button within the application helps you avoid receiving notices and account status issues by checking:
- your qualification for the filing method (No Tax Due, E-Z Computation) selected;
- valid accounting year dates for the report year selected. For combined groups, this validation applies to the affiliates as well;
- your selection of the appropriate information report for the entity type;
- the use of positive and negative numbers in certain fields; and
- completion of all required fields.
These edits only work when you select the PRINT button within the WebFile application and on the Smart Forms. If you print from your Web browser, you bypass these edit checks.

Section 222.002(c)(5) of the Insurance Code exempts from the premium tax base the following:
"...premiums or revenues paid on group health, accident, and life policies or contracts in which the group covered by the policy or contract consists of a single nonprofit trust established to provide coverage primarily for employees of:
(A) a municipality, county, or hospital district in this state; or
(B) a county or municipal hospital, without regard to whether the employees are employees of the county or municipality or of an entity operating the hospital on behalf of the county or municipality;..."
The position of the Comptroller's office has historically been that the funds in the trust must be used for the sole purpose of paying premiums on an insurance policy for health benefits for employees and their dependents.
In 2009, a Texas county requested an opinion from the Texas Attorney General concerning the Comptroller's interpretation of the statute for this exemption. The response from the Attorney General was that while the Comptroller's interpretation that the trust had to be used for a single purpose was reasonable, nothing in the statute limited the use of the trust funds solely to the payment of insurance premiums and the Comptroller had construed the statute too narrowly. See Op. Tex. Att'y Gen. No. GA-0739 (2009). The Attorney General concluded that in trusts created under Section 222.002(c)(5), the Legislature did not intend to limit the statutorily-recognized powers granted to trustees in Texas Property Code Chapters 113 and 114.
These powers include:
- purchasing insurance of any nature, form or amount to protect the trust property and the trustee;
- investing and reinvesting in property of any character;
- employing attorneys (and other agents) reasonably necessary in the administration of trust estate; and
- reimbursement for the trustee from the trust principal or income or partly from both for expenses incurred while administering or protecting the trust.
Thus, as long as the trustee's powers are generally recognized powers of a trustee and are used to further the single purpose of providing benefits to employees and their dependents, they are not contrary to the limitations placed on a trust created under Section 222.002(c)(5).
Further, the termination or dissolution provisions of the trust must state that the disposition of any funds in the trust at the time of dissolution are to be used for the single purpose for which the trust was established and do not inure to the trustees or the employer for profit in any manner.
A trust that complies with these provisions will meet the requirements for premium exemption under the Insurance Code.MIXED BEVERAGE GROSS RECEIPTS TAX
Documenting Returned Drinks on a POS System
In STAR document 201102205L, a tax consultant asked how a client should record alcoholic drinks that had been returned by customers. Upon return of a drink, the client would void it on the point-of-sale (POS) system, and then list the returned drink on the spillage report after pouring it out. The client has since been told a returned drink should be shown as a "return" so the POS system maintains the proper reporting and accounting figures.
A mixed drink that is returned by a customer can either be poured out or given away. If poured out, the drink is documented as spillage in the mixed beverage permit holder's records; if given to another patron, the drink is documented as complimentary and use tax is due on the drink's taxable ingredients.
Alcoholic beverages that are lost due to spillage are included in the daily summaries of the mixed beverage permit holder. The summary should show the number of containers lost by size, brand and class or type of drink and size. A written report documenting the spillage is made at the time of loss. See Rule 3.1001(l)(5) for more information.
Documentation from a POS system may be used if the system accounts for returned drinks such that returned drinks are not part of gross receipts. The POS system must document the type and cost of each returned drink by date and provide the number of returned drinks and total cost of returned drinks on a daily basis. Returned drinks that are given away instead of being poured out must be recorded as complimentary, either on the POS system or by separate record, with the appropriate use tax reported and paid on taxable ingredients.
A POS system's returned drink documentation can be used if it accounts for returned drinks as described above.SALES TAX
Firearms Sold by Out-of-State Dealers: Transfer Fees Charged by Texas Dealers
When a gun is purchased from out of state by an individual in Texas, federal law provides that the out-of-state seller must ship the gun to a Texas dealer for transfer to the individual.
Frequently, the Texas dealer will charge the purchaser a transfer fee to cover the costs of paperwork and handling. Because the gun was not purchased from the Texas dealer, the transfer fee does not represent a sale. Therefore, the transfer fee is not taxable.
For example, assume an individual paid $1,500 to an out-of-state seller for a gun. The out-of-state seller shipped the gun to a Texas gun dealer. The customer picked up the gun at the Texas dealer's place of business and was charged a $25 transfer fee by the dealer. The $25 transfer fee is not subject to sales tax because it is not considered a sale for Texas sales and use tax purposes.SALES TAX
'Tis the Season – Holiday Goods and Services
The holiday season is here! From buying mistletoe to renting a room for a banquet, this article outlines the taxability of some typical goods and services related to the holidays. Event planners and caterers should refer to STAR document 200703903L for guidance on the application of Texas sales and use tax to their specific services.
Holiday Decorations
Holiday Trees, Greenery and Flowers
In general, sales tax is due on sales of Christmas trees, mistletoe, holly, poinsettias and other greenery.
Tax is not due, however, on trees, greenery and flowers sold during a tax-free sale by a tax-exempt organization.
For more information on sales by exempt organizations, see Exempt Organizations: Sales and Purchases (Pub. 96-122) (PDF, 407KB) and Rule 3.322.
Renting Decorations
If a decorator uses his or her own decorations, the rental charge and installation are taxable as the rental of tangible personal property.
Tree Decorating
When the customer provides the decorations, the charge to decorate a tree is not taxable. When a decorator both sells or rents the decorations to the customer and decorates the tree, the total charge is taxable.
Home Decorating
Charges to decorate a residence are not taxable when the customer provides the materials. If a decorator sells or rents the materials to the customer and provides the decorating service, the total charge for the materials and labor is taxable.
Decorating an Office or Other Nonresidential Structure
The labor charge to remodel nonresidential real property is taxable. "Remodeling" includes activities such as painting, running cables and installing permanent fixtures in real property. So when a decorator installs permanent hangers or other fixtures as part of the decorating service, the charge is taxable. When a decorator sells or rents the decorations to the customer and installs the decorations, the total charge is taxable.
If a decorator uses decorations provided by the customer and merely installs the decorations in the building without remodeling it, the charge is not taxable.
Window Painting
Charges to paint holiday pictures and messages on nonresidential windows are taxable as the taxable remodeling of a nonresidential structure. The paint used to perform the service can be purchased tax free by issuing a properly completed resale certificate (PDF, 57KB) since the paint is transferred to the care, custody and control of the purchaser in the course of performing the taxable service.
Painting residential windows is the nontaxable repair or remodeling of residential real property; as such, the incorporated materials are taxable, but labor is not. The type of contract (lump-sum or separated) between the contractor and the customer determines how tax is handled on materials. See Rule 3.291.
Separated Contract - Contractors working under a separated contract make separate charges for materials and for labor. Under a separated contract, the contractor is considered the seller of the incorporated materials (such as paint), and tax is due on the separately stated charge for materials. No tax is due on the separately stated charge for labor.
Lump-sum Contract - A lump-sum contract is a contract in which the agreed-upon contract price is one lump-sum amount and in which the charges for incorporated materials are not separately stated from labor charges. Under a lump-sum contract for residential window painting, the contractor is considered the consumer of all materials and must pay tax to suppliers at the time of purchase, based on the tax rate in effect at the supplier's place of business. The contractor does not collect sales tax on the charge to the customer.
Holiday Foods
Bakery Products
Bread, rolls, cakes, cookies and other bakery products are not taxable unless they are sold with plates or eating utensils.
Prepared Meat
Prepared meat (such as turkey and ham) kept hot and ready to eat is taxable whether sold whole or cut into pieces.
A smoked turkey or ham that is not kept hot is taxable only if sold with eating utensils.
A charge to a customer to smoke a turkey or ham owned by the customer is not subject to tax.
Prepared Holiday Meals
A complete holiday meal (such as turkey with all the trimmings) that is sold hot and ready to eat is taxable. If the meal needs further preparation or heating, it is not taxable.
Other Holiday Items and Services
The sale of firewood is taxable.
Chopping down a tree or cutting up a fallen tree (other than in a disaster area) is a taxable real property service.
Charges for stacking wood after a tree has been cut, and charges to remove a tree or debris, are also taxable.
Gift Wrapping
When the store that sold a taxable item also wraps the item for the customer, the gift wrapping charge is taxable as the sale of a service in conjunction with the sale of a taxable item.
Gift wrapping is not a taxable service when an item is purchased at one store and the customer takes it to another store or to a gift wrapping service to be wrapped.
Please note that sellers may not purchase packaging and wrapping supplies tax free for resale, even if the seller separately states a charge to customers for those supplies. Sales tax is due on the purchase price of gift wrapping supplies used by persons providing gift wrapping services, regardless of whether the person who provides the service must collect tax on the gift wrapping charge. See Rule 3.314(d).
A handling fee charged by a retailer to put an item on layaway is not subject to sales tax. Similarly, a cancellation fee charged by a retailer on a canceled layaway purchase is not taxable. A restocking fee is not taxable.
Facility Rentals
Renting a hall, ballroom, pavilion, patio or similar facility for holding a party, banquet or other event is not taxable if:
- the facility is not located in a building that has sleeping accommodations;
- the rental is not connected to the sale of a taxable item such as prepared food; or
- the rental does not include or constitute access to an amusement service.
For example, renting a room in a museum is not taxable if the museum does not provide food or drinks for the event, and if the rental does not allow event attendees access to the museum exhibits.
Facility Rentals When Food or Amusement Services Are Provided
Renting a hall, room or similar facility that is not located in a building that has sleeping accommodations is subject to sales tax if the rental is connected to the sale of prepared food or an amusement service.
If food is prepared and served or otherwise provided by the facility hosting the event, sales tax is due on the entire charge to the customer, including charges for items such as entertainment, decorations, linens, parking, security or transportation, even if separately stated. For example, sales tax is due on the rental of a restaurant party room if the restaurant provides food for the event. See Rule 3.293 for more information.
Sales of amusement services are subject to sales tax. This includes admissions to live or recorded performances, spectator sports, participatory sports and games, party boat excursions and similar activities. It also includes facility rentals that allow access to amusements, such as a swimming pool, skating rink, or a court or field to participate in a sport. For example, sales tax is due when renting a movie theatre for screening a film or renting an ice skating rink for a party. See Rule 3.298.
Facility Rentals in a Building with Sleeping Accommodations
Hotel occupancy tax is due when renting a room in a building that has sleeping accommodations, even if the venue serves food or provides access to an amusement service with the room rental. For example, the rental of a party room in a hotel which allows guests access to the hotel's water park is subject to hotel occupancy tax, even if the hotel caters the party. If the hotel charges one price for food and room rental, hotel occupancy tax is due on the entire charge. See Rule 3.293(j).
Resale Exemption Not Allowed
When a third-party caterer (i.e. outside caterer hired by the person throwing the party) rents a hotel banquet room for a client's event, the caterer must pay hotel tax on the room rental and cannot issue a resale certificate. Sales tax is then due on the entire amount charged to the caterer's client, including a charge by the caterer for reimbursement of hotel tax. See Rule 3.293(k).
Facility Rentals - Miscellaneous Fees and Charges
Furniture and Equipment Rentals
Generally, the rental of tangible personal property (such as tables, chairs and similar items) is subject to sales tax. When a contract for the lease or rental of nontaxable real property includes the lease or rental of furniture or equipment, no sales tax is due on the amount charged to the tenant for the lease or rental of the tangible personal property, even if separately stated. Sales tax is due, however, at the time such tangible personal property is acquired by the owner or manager of the real estate.
The rental or lease of tangible personal property, which is separate and distinct from a contract for the rental or lease of real property, is subject to sales tax. For example, renting tables and chairs, or a moonwalk from a party supply company is taxable. A person who is required to collect tax on the lease or rental of tangible personal property may buy such property tax free for resale.
See Rule 3.294 for more information.
Cleaning Charges
Generally, cleaning and janitorial services are taxable real property services. A cleaning fee charged in connection with the rental or lease of a party room or other facility (other than a hotel) is subject to sales tax, even if the facility rental is not taxable.
A charge by a hotel to clean a hotel room, however, is a charge to clean and ready a room for occupancy, and hotel tax is due on the cleaning charge. See Rules 3.356 and 3.162, respectively.
Set-Up Fees
Sales tax is due on a set-up fee charged in connection with the sale of prepared food. For example, a caterer or hotel should collect sales tax on a set-up fee when providing meals. See Tax Code Section 151.007. When not providing food, a hotel should collect hotel occupancy tax for a set-up fee on the rental of a hotel room. See Rule 3.162.
For bar set-up fees, the mixed beverage permittee owes mixed beverage gross receipts tax on the fee. See Rule 3.1001(c)(7).
Bartender and Corkage Fees
Bartender and corkage fees are subject to either sales tax or mixed beverage gross receipts tax, depending on the type of alcohol permit held by the person providing the alcoholic beverages.
For instance, if the provider holds a wine and beer retailer's permit, then sales tax is due on the bartender or corkage fee. If the provider has a mixed beverage permit, the provider owes mixed beverage tax on the bartender or corkage fee. See Rule 3.1001(c)(7).
Service Charges and Gratuities
A voluntary tip or gratuity is not taxable.
A mandatory gratuity or service charge, however, may or may not be taxable. A mandatory gratuity is not taxable only when clearly identified as such, is no more than 20 percent of the sales price and is disbursed to qualified employees.
For more information on the taxability of gratuities, see Rules 3.337 and 3.1001.
A fee charged by a singer, band, clown, DJ or similar entertainer to perform at an event is not taxable. A fee charged for admission to the event, however, is taxable. See Rule 3.298.
Limousines and Shuttles
Separately stated charges for limousine or shuttle service are not taxable if the primary purpose is to provide transportation from one location to another. Limousine rental is taxable if the primary intent is to provide a tour of points of interest along a route. A lump-sum charge to a customer for a package including banquet facility rental with food and limousine service is taxable.

Oracle Buys Social Media Startup Involver
Oracle said today it acquired Involver, a San Francisco-based startup that has created a development platform for social media marketing campaigns. The company describes itself as a Facebook marketing developer and a technology provider for Facebook's internal marketing team.
The company was founded in 2007 with backing from Bessemer Ventures and other investors. CEO Don Beck is a veteran of IBM, J.D. Edwards, Adobe and Postini, a cloud-based email and web security and archiving service that was sold to Google in 2007.
The co-founders of Involver are Rahim Fazal, chief strategist, and Noah Horton, CTO. The terms of the Involver deal, which is expected to close this summer, weren't announced.
It's Oracle's third acquisition in the social media space in the last two months, and shows just how deeply social media is becoming integrated into seemingly every facet of business. Companies are using social media to collaborate internally and with partners and customers. And they are figuring out how to store, analyze and respond to vast amounts of social media data, which doesn't necessarily fit into traditional databases. Of course, that divide will be narrowed as enterprise software giants such as Oracle make investments in social media—and, one would imagine, integrate them into their databases and other existing IT infrastructure.
Involver's technology " is expected to extend Oracle's social platform to help customers more easily and cost-effectively collaborate and build engaging applications and social experiences across their social campaigns and sites," Oracle said in a statement. Last month, Oracle acquired Collective Intellect, which helps companies monitor, understand and respond to what's being said about them on social media. In May, it acquired Vitrue, which helps companies manage multiple social networks.
Oracle is building up its social media infrastructure to compete with rivals. In May, Salesforce.com acquired Buddy Media, a Facebook ad targeting firm. That same month, Google bought Meebo, which is used to share ads and content on social media.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article misspelled Vitrue, the company acquired by Oracle in May.

After the huge run up seen in crude prices last week - up nearly 5.5%, there seems to be a bit of a consolidation happening today. While US dollar is still on the weaker side and Iran concerns are still boiling, positive data from US has been supportive for the crude prices.
But, couple of factors have led to some profit off these commodities: 1) Saudi Arabia says that it would increase exports to fill in the gap that has come in from Iran. 2) US has said that, it would tap the strategic reserves to increase supplies for the US markets.

The length and width is perfect. Takes a little getting used to if this is your first time. It stays warm after being boiled. It's not too soft not too hard. The color and shape is perfect very realistic. Not too much of a curve. I love it
I found very few reviews on this product but had to try it out. My wife and I both enjoyed this product. She first used it and loved it. The texture is very realistic and is not too soft and also not too hard. At one point, she loved holding it while also sucking me. Almost like she had 2 real penises at the same time! We also tried in a harness and it worked perfectly. Length of Maven is fabulous and thickness is perfect. Maybe a vibrating one in the future...now that would be incredible! Overall, a top notch in quality and pleasure.

I couldn\'t put this book down. More than once \"The Sword of Angels\" brought tears to my eyes while I hung on every word. I wish tales of Lukien and Gilwyn would go on forever. There are moments I despise trilogies and yet my own mind plays out Gilwyn raising and teaching Poppie to dance while swinging Lukien\'s sword when he finally goes to Cassandra. There is a new generation of Inhumans to raise. I would love to see Gilwyn and Lukien go on for another trilogy at the very least!All three books were excellent. A definite recommended read.

This great book is by far the best book I have ever read, I fell in love with it in the very first page of the first chapter. The Sword of Angels, makes you feel so many different emotions at once, I myself am writing a book now and if people like my book half as much as i loved this book and this series I will be very pleased. I look forward to seeing if John Marco writes anymore books because as soon as they come out in Australia I will be at the bookshop buying it. In conclusion all of Marco's books are the best I have ever read.
