Colleague Mark Schlabach turned in a preview of all 35 bowl games, including all nine in the Big 12. Each included a prediction, too.
You can see more from Schlabach in the full piece right here.
So how does he see the Big 12 playing out? Let's take a closer look:
Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl
Schlabach: "After starting 0-4 in Big 12 play, the Bears were red-hot at the end of the regular season, upsetting then-No. 1 Kansas State, Texas Tech and then-No. 23 Oklahoma State. They'd like nothing more than to take a four-game winning streak into the offseason." Pick: UCLA 42, Baylor 38
My take: Consensus is clear: Baylor's in for another shootout like last year. Don't be surprised if 80 points is too few. This game likely comes down to who's got the ball last.
Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas
Schlabach: Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege is still putting up Air Raid-like statistics, throwing for 3,934 yards with 38 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. He passed for 499 yards with six touchdowns in a 49-13 rout of West Virginia on Oct. 13." Pick: Texas Tech 38, Minnesota 20
My take: I really think the new excitement level surrounding Texas Tech will carry over to the field. I'll unveil my official predictions as we get closer, but I don't think motivation will be an issue anymore with a coach this team can't wait to play for.
New Era Pinstripe Bowl
Schlabach: "The Mountaineers got off to a 5-0 start in their debut season in the Big 12, but then lost five in a row before finishing 7-5. They can still prove they're better than one of the Big East's best teams." Pick: Syracuse 52, West Virginia 49
My take: Schlabach's jab at the end there made me chuckle a bit. No doubt there will be plenty of points scored in this one. This may come down to how many touches they get Tavon Austin, though. If he gets 20 or more, I think I'll take WVU in New York. Fewer, I'd probably lean toward the hometown squad.
Valero Alamo Bowl
Schlabach: "The Longhorns really need to produce some momentum after another mediocre season. Pressure is starting to mount on Brown, who might need a big campaign in 2013 to quiet his growing critics." Pick: Oregon State 28, Texas 24
My take: I agree that Texas fans have underestimated the Beavers a bit, but Longhorns fans aren't real happy with the way their team finished the season. Getting "outtoughed" on your home field in a nationally prominent game will do that. Ultimately, this game comes down to the quarterbacks. If Texas gets good play out of Case McCoy or David Ash, it wins.
Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl
Schlabach: "If you like defense, you might love this game, which features two of the game's best defensive minds, Michigan State's Mark Dantonio and TCU's Gary Patterson. The Spartans are ranked in the top 10 in run defense, pass defense, total defense and scoring defense. TCU's defense struggled a bit this season after losing a plethora of starters." Pick: TCU 20, Michigan State 13
My take: This one's a toss-up. No doubt about that. But it'll show the biggest reason why I buy TCU as a title contender next year. As much as this league focuses on offense, you can't win a title without a defense, and if you've got one, it'll give you a shot to win big. The Frogs decidedly have a defense.
AutoZone Liberty Bowl
Schlabach: "Louisiana Tech, which was left out of the postseason, might be watching to see how the Cyclones fare against Conference USA champion Tulsa. The Liberty Bowl passed on the 9-3 Bulldogs to take 6-6 Iowa State, which lost five of its last seven games and finished next-to-last in the Big 12." Pick: Tulsa 31, Iowa State 24
My take: I'd see this one as an upset, but it's never easy to beat a team twice. There's been a long time between games, but Iowa State can't play average and expect to win this game. Paul Rhoads talked a lot about how the bowl win in 2009 "legitimized" the program. Doing so again might have a similar effect.
Heart of Dallas Bowl
Schlabach: "It might be a very high-scoring shootout at the Cotton Bowl. Oklahoma State has one of the country's best passing games and averaged 44.7 points. The Boilermakers averaged 34.3 points in their last three games, all victories, after quarterback Robert Marve returned from a knee injury." Pick: Oklahoma State 37, Purdue 21
My take: Oklahoma State has Big 12 title hopes of their own in 2013, but I don't think this will be very high scoring. We'll know early on if OSU is interested in being in this game. If so, they'll run away with it.
Tostitos Fiesta Bowl
Schlabach: "The Wildcats couldn't get 73-year-old coach Bill Snyder a national championship, but they can at least win him a BCS bowl game. The Wildcats have dropped their past four bowl games and haven't won a BCS game since defeating Syracuse 35-18 in the 1997 Fiesta Bowl." Pick: Oregon 44, Kansas State 38
My take: Motivation won't be an issue, but you have to be concerned with how K-State handles Oregon's backs. They'll run a similar scheme to Baylor, which rolled over K-State with the zone read. They're just better and faster at it. There's potential here for K-State to get blown out, but if its offense can keep up, this will be one of the most fun games of the season.
AT&T Cotton Bowl
Schlabach: "Beat Texas A&M again, which the Sooners have done in 11 of 13 tries under coach Bob Stoops. The Sooners defeated their former Big 12 rivals in eight of the past nine meetings." Pick: Texas A&M 38, Oklahoma 35
My take: I actually think Oklahoma matched up much better with possible Sugar Bowl opponent Florida, but there will be plenty of pressure on Landry Jones to produce. If OU keeps Damontre Moore at bay, he'll do it. Will it be enough?

Historical Traveler Reviews Sanctuary Resort & Spa Desert Hot Springs
Oh My Gosh! - and not in a good way!
It was horrible! The place was "the Armpit of Palm Springs."
Inexpensive? Yes But I would never stay there again.
Even in the bathroom, there was exposed drywall, that they didn't
even make an effort to fix. Do yourself a favor..... don't stay here.
What a nightmare!
I wish I had checked with this website before booking with this "resort".
We booked a room for our anniversary expecting the resort atmosphere described on the website and were very disappointed when we checked in. The staff at checkin were unprofessional and the room run down and in need of major work. They website was very misleading! The poolside cabana bar had self service hot coffee and hot tea only (in June). The phone in our room had a face plate showing we were staying at the Ritz Carlton, Laguna Nigel room 1049 (yeah right), the smoke detector in our room was located mid-wall behind the tv armoir. Cabinet facings were missing, light fixtures broken, holes in the walls, the balcony carpet/fake grass was torn-up and plastic furniture stained. We wanted to get out of our "luxurious" king mountain view room (not a nice view mostly run down housing and motels, telephone poles an alley oh and a mountain way off in the distance) and asked the front desk about movie theaters employees directed us to a local activity guide on the counter because they were not familiar with the area.
My sweetie decided to surprise me with a spa treatment for my birthday and Valentines day. I was truely pleased until we arrived.
This place is truly a dump! We had to look at three rooms before we found even one that was remotely sustainable to put my pet into. Cigarette stains all over the place, furniture and drawers missing, just overall a dirty feeling! At the time we were there, they had a Hassidic convention, where the patrons reserved the covered spa and jacuzzi for almost the entire time! I happened to glance in and all I saw were naked butts! The restaurant smelled of old grease, as did the rooms. The website boasts of nine waterfalls? I didn't see one! Everything was dirty, dirty, dirty. And if you book in advance, and once you get there, decide that you don't want to stay, they tell you their policy is no refunds, and you're stuck anyway! The management won't budge on that.
Did I mention the restaurant was gross? As were the wait staff.
I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. Don't let yourself get caught up in their trap.
I stayed there back in February, and from the recent reviews, things haven't change.
Buyer be aware. Be very aware. And very Scared!
Are they really remodeling?
I stayed at this "resort" recently. It was definitely not worth the price. They say they are under new ownership and remodeling, but I saw no evidence of that. It really was like staying at a run-down motel, not a resort. The wallpaper was dirty and peeling, the carpet was stained, the bathroom was missing a piece of the ceiling and had a huge crack in the mirror. There was no alarm clock, iron or remote control in the room. The staff was nice enough, but I only saw 3 people working there. If we wanted towels or anything, we would have to go to the front desk to get them. I was only there one night so I can not rate the housekeeping, but I did not see housekeeping staff on the premises while I was there.
Cockroaches in the tub
Made my reservations one month in advance for $100/night at Palm Springs discount hotels for 2 nights over Memorial Day Weekend. The hotel is recently under new management... and needs work.
(1) We checked in to a room on the third floor overlooking the pool. The room was very hot and there was a dead (smooshed) cochroach in the tub, along wtih a live beetle. I immediately called down to the front desk. They sent someone up to remove the dead cochroach over 45 minutes later.
(2) The water in the bath tub could not be turned off. Even when they cleaned up the cockroach, they left the water running.
(3) The wall AC was in a corner and pointed at the entertainment center - which prevented any air from circulating. The room was sweltering hot.
(4) We were there two nights and received no maid service. We were out of the room all day. Around 4 pm, we returned to find the room not serviced. I called down to ask if there was maid service offered and was told yes. Two hours later, I called again and requested maid service and toilet paper (we were out). At 7 pm, I called a third time and requested toilet paper (having given up on maid service). When we returned from dinner, the toilet paper had finally arrived, but still no maid service.
(5) Glass bottles were down in the pool area, with kids running around.
(6) Kids w/diapers were in the jacuzzis and older kids were doing canyon balls into the jacuzzis (this is more of a parenting issue, but still there were no posted rules against it).
(7) The fixtures in the room had holes around them.
(8) The pictures above the two beds were identical.
(9) Despite the no smoking signs, people were smoking everywhere.
(10) I asked the staff about hiking at Joshua Tree or the Indian canyons, but they could not make any recommendations because no one had visited either location. In fact, everyone we spoke to recently moved to the area. While I don't expect everyone to have lived in the area their entire lives, it was a bit strange that the folks at the hotel were not aware of these major attractions.
Every single aspect of my stay was wonderful. It is so inexpensive and wonderful. We found a wonderful place to stay! staff , restaurant, rooms and pool area is perfect
Absalutely gross! Old! Run Down! Ghetto!
I paid Approx $450 for a Saturday and Sunday night stay during the Coachella concert weekend (April 30 ond May 1st, 2005). We paid to stay at this expensive dump because I refused to camp out in the desert. I expected luxory like the website said. It was the most gross hotel I've been to in my life. By first glance and smell you'd think they charged by the hour, if not minute. So many things wrong with this place, AC unit taped to wall, extension cords all over the room, bizarre kitchen ware, scratching sounds coming from ceiling over shower, either scalding hot or super cold shower water with no pressure either way, must I re-mention the smell? All I have to say is this place and website is extremely missleading. Never stay here. I hope I didn't catch any bedbugs.
~Concerned Citizen~
Misleading website, skanky hotel
The website makes it look wonderful and relaxing, the reality is a run-down motel with threadbear sheets and patched up tub, cigarette butts all over the property, gum on the pool deck and less than professional staff. Very disappointing, this is a $39 room at best, certainly not a $99 room!
Motel not hotel
The website is very misleading. How was this so call resort rated .Should have been a 1 star motel. The atmosphere was ghetto like....broken tiles,broken fixtures, everything was outdated and in need of repairs.The telephone did not work.The so call air conditioning unit was barely functional . Drawers were missing,light fixtures missing bulbs.The refrigerator was plugged into a bedroom outlet thru a hole punched through then bathroom wall. One word that would best describe this place--filthy.
Misleading and Disappointed
Our family of four have just returned from a weekend wedding held in Palm Springs, CA. Because of the astronomical high hotel prices in Palm Springs, we decided to stay in Desert Hot Springs, which was close to the wedding venue. While checking on the internet, the La Toscana website caught our eye. It was rated 3-1/2 stars out of 5 and the pictures on their virtual website was quite attractive. It advertised mineral hot springs and luxurious accommodations. When we arrived, we could not believe this was the same place as advertised on the internet. Pool was small, tile hallways leading to room were broken and holes were evident. Room amenities were horrendous. Rugs in the rooms were sticky, room telephone was not in working order, sink stopper was broken, air conditioning units - old and noisy. The overall look of the room was old and in disrepair. Room keys did not work and had to be rekeyed and still only one worked. Rollaway bed mattress ($10 extra charge) was so old and uncomfortable. Minimal staff was evident. They should have paid us to stay there!

We decided to turn back before we did any damage to the car. Back at the main park road, we headed to the south end of the park through what was once a wide lake or part of a sea to Highway 10 that led back to desert communities.

Four people were arrested today on charges of selling secrets and valuable information about the Apple iPhone and other technologically advanced companies. They provided confidential information to hedge funds and other various companies being investigated with the goal of giving an insider scoop on the financial reporting and projections.
The secrets did not revolve around cell phone accessories but rather more confidential material such as the features of the iPad and forecasts of Apple's sales. The information was gathered and leaked through four employees of publically traded companies. For an estimated exchange of $400,000, the consultants provided top secret information.
The charges have included conspiracy to commit security fraud and wire fraud. The Federal Investigation has been an ongoing investigation to crack down on insider trading and fraud within the Tech Industry.
The potential for harm of insider trading could be potentially disastrous for a company in the Tech Industry. The highest competitive advantages tech companies have are unique and advanced features, phone accessories, and products. It is essential for information about these companies to be safeguarded, because any leak in a company's future projects and forecasts can prove to be a major blow to any technologically advanced company.

94 N. Main Street, Jasper, GA - (706) 253-2457
General news and features
Steve Burgess, 56, has been charged with possession of methamphetamines and intent to distribute following an investigation Monday afternoon that uncovered explosive materials in the man's home.
At approximately 11 a.m. on Monday, June, 3 during the execution of a court order at the Talking Rock Highway residence just north of Annie's Restaurant, suspicious items were located that indicated the presence of explosives.
See our print or online edition for the rest of this story, which includes comments from Pickens County Sheriff's Office Leiutenant Kris Stancil.
[UPDATED: The school board held a called meeting Thursday. Following a lengthy executive session, it was announced that their attorney would handle details involved in finding an interim-superintendent who could quickly assume the top position in the system and the board would begin planning a search for a permanent replacement.]
In an e-mail to school board members yesterday, Superintendent Ben Desper announced his retirement, effective at the end of June.
He was wrapping up his second year serving as the superintendent for Pickens schools (see Progress story when he was hired). His contract had been extended for several additional years last year.
School board chair Wendy Lowe confirmed that the superintendent had announced his retirement in a brief interview Wednesday. She said it did not come as a complete surprise to board members but there were issues that will be discussed in a meeting later this week.
Lowe said the board will need to decide how to proceed but she anticipated they would follow the same procedure as when Desper was hired – to first name an interim and then conduct a search for a replacement.
With the budget not finalized for this year, Lowe said it is important to have someone in the office to keep things moving, but she noted that with an experienced finance director, they shouldn't have any added difficulties wrapping up the budget process.

Rep. Jasperse calls BOE plans to cut funding "short sighted"
If the school board cuts funding to the Pickens County 4-H as they have indicated at recent budget workshops, programs offered to students will be "seriously impacted," according to the 4-H manager.
"That's what's been proposed, cutting us," said Pickens County 4-H Manager Clarcy Kirby. "Until we get the tax digest the school board can't make the final decision, but the school is funding 50 percent of our program assistant position and benefits for that position, so if the cuts go through that will go down to a part-time position."

If you've never read The Great Gatsby, or even if you read it back when you didn't enjoy it, you owe it to yourself to read it again. And, I beg of you, please don't go see the new movie until you have read the book. To experience F. Scott Fitzgerald, you must read his work.
At seventeen, I was more interested in reading Ernest Hemingway and Robert Frost than I was in understanding F. Scott Fitzgerald or T.S. Eliot. That wasn't because I had a high school English teacher who pushed one author over another; Ms. McNair was extraordinary, encouraging us to read anything we loved, and each of us, as 11th graders, did just that, becoming odd among our classmates not because we liked certain authors but because we simply liked to read.

We loved this dish! I've never made a chicken dish with rice, so I was a little skeptical, because I hate over cooked chicken. I was so surprised at how tender and juicy the chicken was and how delicious this caserole turned out! I didn't have any jalapenos, or mexican style tomatoes, so I used fire roasted diced tomatoes and added about a 1/4 cup of green chili salsa instead. I added a bit more chili powder, cuz we love it, about a tsp of salt and 3 cubed chicken breast halves. We got about 10 good sized servings - we had it for dinner, I took it to lunch the next day, had leftovers for dinner the next night (I added a bit of cheddar - YUM) and again for lunch the following day! I like that this is pretty healthy and low fat, too! I will definitely make this again! Thanks!
This recipe was great! I did have to substitute a bit but it still turned out very flavorful. I only had one can of stewed tomatoes so I used 1 can plus an 8 oz can of tomato sauce. I also added extra spices: 1 tsp cumin and 2 tsp dried oregano. Very tasty and smells great while cooking in the oven!

when you go up to a chap in a shop and select 'barter' it comes up with the stuff he is selling but then if ya press L1 it comes up with your stuff to sell to him.

You sell items to merchants. A merchant is basically anyone who has the option when you talk to them at the bottom left of the screen to barter. For the most part merchants do business in their stores. There are a couple of exceptions like Shady Sam or thieves guild fences.
Merchants have varying amounts of gold to barter with you as well as mercantile skill. In general the more gold they have to barter with you the higher their mercantile skill is, which means you won't get as good deals from them. So if you're trying to sell a cheap item don't go to the merchant with the most money (who will probably also have the highest mercantile skill). Only use those high-end merchants when selling expensive items.
Merchants can only buy and sell certain types of items. Like some merchants only buy weapons and armor, others will only buy alchemy stuff, others will only buy books, etc. There are a few merchants with general trader store who will buy anything. But in general their mercantile skill is higher than others at their level of gold so only use them if you need to. Once you get to level 50 in mercantile you can sell any item to any merchant.
Two of the best merchants that I always use are Ogier Georick at the Main Ingredient, which is in the Market District in the Imperial City, and Varel Morvayn at Morvayn's Peacemakers, which is in Anvil. Sell all your alchemy ingredients and potions to Ogier. Sell all your weapons and armor to Varel. Once you reach level 50 in mercantile then just sell everything to Varel.
The perk of reaching level 75 in mercantile is the ability to invest 500 gold in a merchant, which brings up the amount of gold they have to barter with by 500. Through some sort of oversight on Bethesda's part, you are actually able to do this with a simple fortify mercantile spell. Fortify your mercantile to 75 and you are given the option to invest in stores.
Once you get into the Arcane University and are able to make custom spells, a good spell to use everytime before you try to barter with a merchant is:
Charm 100 pts for 2 seconds on touch
Fortify mercantile X pts for 2 seconds on self
Replace the X with how many ever points it takes to get you to 100. Make sure you take off all your armor before you cast this spell so that your spell effectiveness is 100% so that the spell actually gets you to 100. This spell will allow you to get the best deal possible with merchants.
I should probably also say that merchants will always rip you off. They will always sell items for more than base value and buy items off of you for less than base value. That is until you reach master in mercantile. At that point you can buy and sell items at base value. Also, all merchants get an additional 500 gold to barter with you, which is very nice. It takes a LONG time to reach master in mercantile though. You need to make 25550 transactions to get from level 5 to 100.
Oh, and I should also tell you never sell items in bulk. Always sell them one by one. When selling items your experience in mercantile doesn't increase based on how much gold or how many items were involved in the transaction. You get the same experience for selling 1 arrow as you get for selling 100 arrows. So if you have 100 arrows to sell, sell them one by one. You'll get 100 times as much experience that way. You can press L2 when it asks you how many items you want to sell to quickly get to 1.
Sorry I typed all this out when you just had a simple question. I tend to digress and talking about one thing just leads to another and I have to say everything. Oh well.

Head coach Dan McDonnell guided his team to a school record 51 wins and their fourth Big East Conference regular season crown in five years. After defeating traditional powers Miami and Oklahoma State in Regional play, the Cardinals swept rival and 2nd-ranked Vanderbilt in Nashville to advance to the program's second ever appearance in the College World Series. Multiple players received post season accolades, including junior Jeff Thompson as the Big East Conference Pitcher of the Year. Highlighted by pitchers Dace Kime and Thompson, both of whom were third round selections, the team had seven players get selected in the 2013 Major League Baseball Draft.
As great as the 2013 season was, the ending will sting for awhile.
With Thompson on the mound, Louisville felt comfortable about the possibility of rebounding from it's 2-0 loss to Indiana on Saturday night. Through the first two innings, the Cardinals ace was in control and the odds of U of L advancing were looking good. However, a 3 run third and an error filled fourth inning that saw seven Oregon State base runners cross the plate crushed all hopes of Louisville staying another day in Omaha.
Facing elimination in Monday's contest against Oregon State, Louisville suffered two error-filled innings, giving up seven unearned runs and fell to the Beavers 11-4 in front of 18,980 at TD Ameritrade Park.
"From our standpoint, you know, speaking specifically of today's game, I'm sure our guys are very disappointed, just didn't play well, didn't play clean there in the third and fourth innings and it got out of hand," said McDonnell. "Unfortunately that happens, especially when you're playing a really good opponent. I know our guys are very disappointed. This is very tough at this moment, but I don't want this game to define them or define their season. It's a special group. Had a special year and I told them just what I told the '07 team: If our season had to end on a loss, I'd always want that loss to be in Omaha."
The Beavers fortunes began in the third when Max Gordon lead off the inning by getting hit by a Thompson pitch. Tyler Smith then drove the next pitch down the left field line for an RBI double to give Oregon State a 1-0 lead. Following a perfectly executed bunt by Andy Peterson, the Cardinals infield struggles began as catcher Kyle Gibson dropped a Michael Conforto foul ball, who drew a walk a few pitches later to load the bases. With one out, Kaven Keyes hit a fielders choice grounder to second baseball Zach Lucas, who attempted to start a double-play, but a throwing error allowed two runs, one unearned, to score.
After struggling to hit the ball against the Hoosiers, the 3-0 lead appeared to effect the Cardinals mentally.
"I don't know if they were carrying over from the other night because the offense hadn't gotten going yet," McDonnell said. "It was almost like, oh no, they scored a run. Being down 3-0 probably felt more than 3-0 in the big picture, because we had gone 11 or 12 innings without getting much going offensively. It probably carried over to the next inning. It's disappointing because you have to overcome those tough innings and we just didn't do there."
The Cardinal miscues continued in the fourth. With two out in the inning and one man on, the Beavers loaded the bases with two more singles, including a 2 RBI hit that was a close play at first that the umpire ruled safe, but replay showed as out. Following a walk from reliever Cody Ege to reload the bases, Kevin Kates reached when shortstop Sutton Whiting overthrew allowing 2 more runs to cross the plate. The Beavers loaded the bases again when Ege hit Ryan Barnes, which prompted McDonnell to make the call to the bullpen for Kyle Funkhouser. Entering the game in a jam, Funkhouser walked the first batter he faced, allowing another run to score. Max Gordon then singled through the left side of the infield to drive in another two runs to finish off the seven run inning.
"It was two bad innings, back-to-back," said McDonnell. "We call it bad baseball and it's hard to have any bad baseball when you are out here in Omaha."
Louisville scored it's first run of the College World Series in the top of the fifth when Kyle Gibson singled to lead off the inning. He advanced to second when Zak Wasserman drew a walk and scored on a single by Lucas.
The Cardinals added another three runs in the seventh when Wasserman and Chittenden drew walks and Engel drove a 2-run double down the left field line. With two, Engel scored off a Ty Young single.
While a stinging ending to an impressive season, McDonnell was proud of his team that embraced the preseason expectations of reaching Omaha.
"It's one thing to have a great year when nobody expects you to have a great year, but I was proud of this group, because the bar was set very high from themselves and from the baseball community and to a degree, we backed it up," said McDonnell.

I think he's going to die. Partly because everyone he talks to tells him he won't survive casting Meteor. But mostly because of a certain pattern I've noticed: he keeps on leveling up but his MP doesn't increase.
Around the time Cecil was climbing Mount Olympus trying to become a Paladin, and then shortly after he did so, Tellah was my main healer. But it was a pain in the butt because his MP would drain so fast, and despite all the levels I've increased him to, his MP has never moved past 90. And get this: Meteor costs 99 points to cast.
I think this game is going to kill Tellah off. I think it hates him.

FOR THE FIRST time in two years, City Council took its show on the road last night, kicking off the budget season with a community hearing in Southwest Philadelphia.
Unlike in past years, there was no galvanizing issue or populist anger, but the standing-room crowd in the St. John's AME Church basement still brought plenty of passion to the microphone.
The issues stretched across a range of grievances - crime, jobs, blight, affordable housing, economic development, city services - and touched on some of the problems specific to the Southwest community, such as the historic tensions between African and Caribbean immigrants and their African-American neighbors.

Tax Concessions and Animal Protection Organisations: Benefits and Barriers
Celeste Black
University of Sydney - Faculty of Law
Australian Animal Protection Law Journal, Vol. 2, pp. 6-17, 2009
Sydney Law School Research Paper No. 09/126
The value of taxation concessions that may be available to not-for-profit animal protection organization should not be underestimated. That said, the barriers to obtaining endorsement for these concessions must also be appreciated. This paper focuses on the various tax concessions provided in the legislation which may be relevant for animal protection organization and highlights the limitations on access to these concessions, both those explicit in the legislation and those which arise from the manner in which the concession system is administered. The paper will focus on two particular endorsement processes: endorsement as a tax concession charity and endorsement as a deductible gift recipient.

Project Description
I need my IPN system that needs to work with a premium SMS module repairing. The project is almost complete, but my developer cancelled right at the last part. So, I need somebody to just fix & test the IPN system. I can supply a full document on the IPN system's functions and how it is used; but again, my developer covered pretty much everything. This probably won't take long at all, so I won't be paying large amounts for this.

Miss Alex White is the stage name for Alexandra Brooks White, a musician from Chicago, Illinois, and founder of Missile X Records born April 30, 1985. Her projects have included Miss Alex White and Chris Playboy (a collaboration with Chris Saathoff), the Hot Machines, Miss Alex White and the Red Orchestra, and White Mystery, a collaboration with her younger brother, drummer Francis Scott Key White.[1]
Early career[edit]
White began playing guitar at age 13,[2] after being motivated by hearing The Who. White began playing under the pseudonym "Miss Alex White" and released her first music in 2003. Her project, Miss Alex White and Chris Playboy (Chris Saathoff) made several recordings together. Saathoff died in a car accident on February 13, 2004 and White was responsible for creating the Chris Saathoff Foundation[3] following his death. Soon after, she formed Miss Alex White and the Red Orchestra. The group recorded two albums with producer Jim Diamond and released both albums on In The Red Records.
Career and Education[edit]
Alexandra Brooks White is a graduate of Northside College Prep and DePaul University with a Business Management Degree and Entrepreneurship. She serves as Vice President of The Recording Academy - Chicago Chapter until 2016.[4]
With White Mystery[edit]
White founded her current group, White Mystery, with her brother Francis on April 20, 2008 named after an Airheads flavor.[5] White Mystery is known for their relentless tour schedule in which White claims to have played 300 shows in the band's first three years. The group has played with national acts such as Garbage,[6] Shonen Knife, The Stooges and Weezer.[7] They played on a parade float with Sir Richard Branson for the grand opening of Virgin Hotels Chicago.[8] The group has released 6 full-length albums as of 2016.
On April 1, 2016 White Mystery released "Best Friend" and announced forthcoming record Outta Control which is titled in reference to the same Airheads flavor from which the band name is derived. They described it in an interview with Transverso Media as their "pop masterpiece."[9]
White's signature guitar is her Fireglo Rickenbacker 330, a guitar that she has mainly used for all of her projects. She is also sponsored by Orange Amplifiers.
In 2014 White Mystery was featured in an expansive Levi's ad campaign, with their images being used in such magazines as Rolling Stone, SPIN, and Pitchfork.
White cites her biggest influences as The MC5, Marc Bolan of T. Rex, Tina Turner, and Poison Ivy of the Cramps respectively.[10] On White Mystery's website, Miss Alex White's band, she lists Roger Daltrey from the Who, Cheetah Chrome from the Dead Boys, Arthur "Killer" Kane from the New York Dolls, Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin as alternative influences.

Average pay for California's rank-and-file police officers and firefighters eclipsed $100,000 in 2014, as many cities across the state granted raises following years of tight budgets.
California police officers made, on average, $102,600 during 2014. That figure reflects base pay, as well as overtime, incentive pay and payouts upon retirement, according to a Sacramento Bee analysis of new data from the State Controller's Office. Firefighters and engineers earned, on average, $127,100. Average pay for police captains across the state was $167,700; for fire captains, it was $157,220.
Average pay for rank-and-file police officers increased by about 3 percent from 2013 to 2014, while average pay for firefighters rose 2 percent.
Excluding overtime, vacation payouts and bonuses, average pay for police officers in 2014 was $80,800 and for firefighters was $82,500.
Use this database to see the average pay for firefighters, police officers and their supervisors in nearly every California city and county. Updated February 2016 with 2014 data.
Police and fire departments typically have a range of salaries for each position. Thanks to overtime, bonuses, allowances and retirement payouts, about 94 percent of the state's full-time local firefighters earned more than the maximum posted salary for their positions. The average maximum posted salary for firefighters and engineers in California is $87,000. Below you can see where all firefighter salaries in California fall across a grid.
California firefighter pay distribution
Police officers tended to earn closer to their average maximum posted salary of roughly $85,000.
California police officer pay distribution
Notes: Average pay is calculated using total wages during 2014 subject to Medicare taxes as reported in Box 5 of each employee's W-2. The amounts listed may include, but are not limited to, wages, overtime, cash payments for vacation and sick leave, and bonus payments.
The Controller's Office data show actual pay for all employees, including those who only worked part-time or for part of the year. To avoid part-timers skewing the numbers, The Bee removed from its calculation any employee who earned less than $25,000 during 2014 or who earned at least $2,000 less than the minimum posted salary for his or her position.
The state's police and fire departments don't classify employees in a uniform manner. To find the average salary for police officers, The Bee looked at police and sheriff's department employees with the word "officer" in their job title, excluding code enforcement officers, animal control officers and supervisors. (For sheriff's department's, The Bee looked for deputies, instead of officers.) Average salary for rank-and-file firefighters includes employees with "firefighter" or "engineer" in their job title. "Captains" and "chiefs" were isolated by looking for those words in their job titles.
For fire and police chiefs, some departments employed more than one chief in the course of the year. In those cases, The Bee used the salary of the chief with the highest reported earnings for the year. If you see a chief's salary that looks particularly low, it's possible that chief only worked part of the year.
Since cashouts for unused sick leave and vacation upon retirement are often large, a department with a high number of retirements during 2014 will tend to show higher average pay. Vacation and sick leave payouts generally don't count toward pension calculations.
Fire and police captains do not have comparable jobs. Police captains usually oversee more employees, and there are more fire captains than police captains.

Hay MUCHO olor, se siente desde la vereda.. Habiamos reservado habitacion femenina y dormimos con dos hombres. Da la sensación de inseguridad. No lo recomiendo en absoluto. "- Anónimo

NEW YORK- Call me Ishmael. Call "Moby Dick'' a masterpiece.
Call C-SPAN if you're miffed that Herman Melville isn't part of its ambitious new project, "American Writers: A Journey Through History.'' (Sorry, "Moby'' fans: After heated discussion, Melville was harpooned.)
C-SPAN, which mainly fulfills its public affairs mission with nonstop coverage of Beltway business, is busting loose for this "Journey.''
Every week through December, 46 American writers some famous, some obscure will serve as the jumping-off point for a look at American history, from the pilgrim experience through the Vietnam War.
This journey is more than metaphorical. "American Writers'' will roam the nation, with each program airing live from a historic site somehow tied to that week's featured scribe.
On Monday, the tour began at Plimoth Plantation in Plymouth, Mass., where the 1620 Mayflower Compact of Gov. William Bradford is the focus. (This and subsequent two-hour programs begin at 8 a.m. CST, repeated the following Friday at 7 p.m.)
Make no mistake: C-SPAN's list is not meant to be an honor roll of belletrists, nor is the series that will come of it intended as a literary salon.
"It's a way to look at American history through the lens of writers who either shaped the course of our nation, influenced it, chronicled it or reflected upon it,'' said executive producer Mark Farkas.
This makes "A Journey Through History'' a natural extension of C-SPAN's day-to-day fare, adds Susan Swain, the network's executive vice president.
"We have a basic belief that people who study history with us (on this series) will gain some more context for the day-to-day events in the political world,'' she said.
And, as usual with C-SPAN, callers are invited to contribute to the dialogue.
Each of the 38 broadcasts, many of them moderated by Swain or C-SPAN founder Brian Lamb, will gather scholars and other guests to help place the work and writer in historical context. Providing physical context will be the on-location site be it founding father Thomas Jefferson's Monticello estate or Marina Del Rey, Calif., home of 20th century objectivist Ayn Rand's institute.
"A Journey Through History'' is C-SPAN's fourth historical series, but it introduced a brand-new challenge for its producers. Unlike two years ago, when the network worked from fixed source material for its 41-week series on American presidents, "for the current project, we made our own list,'' Swain said.
As a Melville devotee, she was among those on C-SPAN's selection committee who fought to have him and "Moby Dick'' included. But the collective will of this group and of C-SPAN's outside consultants decided otherwise: However distinguished as a storyteller, Melville wasn't a major player in the American narrative.
Was Ernest Hemingway? Or was he done in by his expatriate leanings? C-SPAN gave Poppa the nod. He and his novel "The Sun Also Rises'' will share the bill Oct. 1 with F. Scott Fitzgerald and "The Great Gatsby.''
Who to represent World War II triggered another round of give-and-take. Was Joseph Heller the signal voice, lampooning war in "Catch-22''? Or fellow novelist Norman Mailer, author of the gritty "The Naked and Dead''?
No, the choice was war correspondent Ernie Pyle, whose Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper columns were collected in the 1943 volume "Here Is Your War.''
Unlike Hemingway or Benjamin Franklin or Mark Twain, not all of C-SPAN's writers are household names.
On July 9, the chosen writer isn't technically even a writer. Black Elk, a member of the Oglala Sioux tribe who fought in the Battle of Little Big Horn, recounted his life story to the man who wrote the 1932 book "Black Elk Speaks.''
"There are people here, including Black Elk, who I know nothing about,'' said Swain, who looks forward to a lot of reading in the next 10 months.
She hopes the audience will join her as she hits the books that chart C-SPAN's journey and will argue with her about them. "We're trying to encourage a healthy debate in this country,'' she said, "so we're kind of happy if there's an aspect of controversy.''
On this trip, when C-SPAN talks writing there will be no last word.

The equinoxes are beautiful markers of growth, death, and rebirth, both in our inner and outer landscapes. It is also a day that is equally balanced in its light and dark aspects. I wrote this poem with both tears and stars in my eyes; it is a reflection upon my inner landscape, and my ability and courage to share and mirror it; a quick burst of poetry fueled by the heart and translated by the mind. It is something I would usually keep tucked away in an old, beat-up notebook, but I decided, what the heck, it's a holiday. It is my sincere wish that the coming change of seasons brings to all of you the same inner alchemy of change; harvest, cocooning, seeding, sprouting. Happy autumnal equinox!
Flowered crown, orange-blue bright strands
Ash and blossom in my hands
Backwards walking, through time's sands
Home to reap the fertile lands
Growth and beauty fill my basket
Taste the fruits of season's magic
Juice of life, so lovely, tragic
Blessings grace the crib and casket
Now sow my blossom in earth's womb
Fed by ash of inner tomb
Caressed with sunlight, watch me swoon
Hear me sing, and feel me bloom
My roots dig deep in dark domain
Feel the swell in moonlight's reign
Burn the mask to feed the flame
Stomp the feet to shed the tame
Bare soles, bared souls upon the pyre
Lift me up and I'm on fire
In your arms I'm rising higher
Spirals spin me tighter, wider
Wolves are howling, starlights swoops
White bunnies leap loopdy-loops
Chanting, sweating, I'm the Dancer
Stag rubs velvet from his antlers
So feed me sweet saps of your story
I am listening, you are for me
Soft and green or brown and thorny
Hand in hand, we are the Journey.

DENVER - Illegal immigrants attending Colorado high schools are waiting to see whether the Legislature will pass a bill allowing them to attend state colleges at tuition rates lower than the out-of-state rates.
This is the sixth time state lawmakers have tried to make college more affordable to illegal immigrants. Out-of-state tuition can be up to five times higher than in-state tuition.
Opponents want to make sure state funds are not subsidizing illegal immigrants' tuition. Last year, Democratic lawmakers suggested taking out a state stipend so illegal immigrants would pay a slightly higher rate than in-state students but the legislation still failed.
This year's bill also takes away the stipend but makes the legislation optional for colleges. Still, Democrats face a tough road in the Republican-controlled House.
The bill is yet to be debated.
