Device Art
Past Exhibition
Begin: 03.09.2014
End: 21.06.2015
"Device Art" is an art form that merges art, design, technology, science and entertainment. The resulting creations deploy innovative materials and techniques to engender contrivances featuring elaborate, whimsical design conceived to bring us face-to-face with technology's essence. In "Device Art", the device itself is the content; its form and appearance are inseparable from its function.
This mode of cultivating objects used on a daily basis and the acts people perform in everyday life has a long tradition in Japan, the country in which "Device Art" emerged. Highly esteeming playfulness is also deeply rooted in Japanese culture. For example, highly sophisticated devices have been developed for use in tea ceremonies or to create floral arrangements. In this spirit, the works in the exhibition at the Ars Electronica Center use new materials and devices to demonstrate surprising possibilities afforded by modern technology. At first glance, fanciful outer surfaces hide the serious concepts underneath. In accordance with Japanese tradition, art ought to be integrated into everyday life; the combination of artwork, plaything, and technical device as "gadget" makes this possible. A few of the pieces of "Device Art" on display here are already available as commercial products. Others will never make it to that point—and weren't meant to.
The "Device Art" group formed in 2004 around Hiroo Iwata, a scientist associated with the University of Tsukuba, Japan. The "Device Art" project has been financed by the Japan Science and Technology Agency's CREST–Core Research for Evolutional Science and Technology program. Since "Device Art's" inception, groups of artists pursuing this philosophy have emerged in other countries as well. In addition to works by the Japanese group, the exhibition at the Ars Electronica Center includes works by artists at the University of California, Los Angeles' ART|SCI Center, and at Kontejner, the Bureau of Contemporary Art Praxis based in Zagreb, Croatia.
The exhibition runs until June 21, 2015.
Inside Out
by Jaehyuck Bae
"Inside Out" is a series of kinetic sculptures that transform mechanical movements into the poetic interplay of light and shadow.
Food Simulator
by Hiroo Iwata
"Food Simulator" is a device that can imitate not only how a foodstuff tastes but also its consistency and the sound it makes in your mouth.
Sustainable Cinema No. 2: Lenticular Bicycle
by Scott Hessels
"Sustainable Cinema" is a series of kinetic sculptures that combine natural energy sources with optical illusions to produce moving pictures. Scott Hessels' aim in creating these works is to call attention to environmentally friendly media and sustainable solutions for providing energy to new technologies.
by Eric Siu
Touchy makes the person wearing this special helmet blind until another person touches his/her skin 10 seconds long. Then Touchy's lens apertures open; the person wearing the helmet can see again and the built-in camera takes a photo. The most recently captured image is displayed on the back of the helmet.
A Couple of Irons
by Eric Siu
A camera and a small monitor are integrated into each of two conventional steam irons. Everything captured by one iron's camera is displayed on the other one's screen.
Parallel Lives
by Hideyuki Ando, Eisuke Kusachi, Junji Watanabe
Two video screens on which people are moving about—on one as "real" human beings; on the other as shadows. By touching—and feeling—one of these individuals, you can transport him/her simply, conveniently into the other world.
Otamatone Jumbo & Digital
by Novmichi Tosa
The "Otamatone" is a Japanese musical instrument that's shaped like a musical note and sounds like a theremin, an electronic musical instrument invented in 1919. You produce sounds with the "Otamatone" by stroking or pressing the instrument's neck, which lets you determine the sound's pitch as well as create special effects.
Robot Tile
by Hiroo Iwata
"Robot Tile" enables you to make real strides as you advance through virtual realities. On these robotic plates, you can proceed in any direction you like and still remain on one spot. Your actual physical motion imparts the feeling of being inside the virtual world instead of it just passing by before your eyes.

Michael Vick is currently questionable for the Philadelphia Eagles' Week 3 matchup with the New York Giants after suffering a concussion in Sunday night's loss to the Atlanta Falcons. While some sources within the team believe he will play in the game, the Eagles have to prepare for the possibility that their franchise's biggest star can't play.
With that in mind Philadelphia's fans should be ready just in case they have to cheer on Mike Kafka, who will almost certainly start in Vick's place.
Here are four things to expect if Kafka is under-center against the Giants on Sunday.

Kiet Do
Kiet Do is a general assignment reporter and joined KPIX 5 in January 2008, and is proud to be back home covering the South Bay for the 10pm and 11pm newscasts.
Before joining KPIX 5, the San Jose native was a reporter for WAGA-TV in Atlanta. While at the Fox affiliate, Kiet's tornado coverage and stories on urban expansion earned him an Emmy for general assignment reporting.
In 2000, Kiet got his start as a "one-man-band" reporter, writing, shooting, and editing his own stories for KOAT-TV based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. During his four and a half-years at the ABC affiliate, he covered several major wildfires, dozens of snowstorms and bear chases. In 2004, the New Mexico Broadcaster's Association named him "Best Reporter."
While a student at San Jose State, a near-death experience off the coast of Monterey, almost cost the Bay Area native his life. Kiet was on board a U.S. Marine Corps helicopter when it caught fire shortly after lifting off from the deck of an aircraft carrier. The chopper made a hard landing back on the carrier, and everyone evacuated safely with only minor injuries. Kiet captured the entire incident on tape and it helped him win first place overall in the prestigious Hearst Journalism Awards. It also helped him land his first on-air job, and instilled a healthy skepticism of helicopters.
Kiet got his start in TV news as a production assistant at KNTV in San Jose, and as an intern at KCBA/KION in Salinas.
Kiet is a former co-president of the Asian American Journalist Association (AAJA) Atlanta Chapter. He is married to his junior high sweetheart and has 3 children. Kiet is also a professional wedding photographer.

Usman SharifThursday, 14 January 2016 19:06
"On a JOURNEY to the TOP...enjoying every moment along the way!"
To say that Usman Sharif is one of the entertainment industry's world's rising talents would be an understatement. With numerous high-profiled feature film dramas and comedies and guest starring sitcom appearances credited to his name, a list of successful businesses he personally owns and in some cases operate, the cliché, "the sky is the limit" truthfully applies to this extraordinary, yet humble man.
Born and raised in Newark, New Jersey, Usman has two sisters and three brothers. Although his parents divorced when he was eight, Usman remained close with his Father whom he credits his strong faith and entrepreneurial spirit. This led Usman to eventually major in business administration at Essex County College, graduating in 1994. Usman then went on to Kean University in Union, NJ in pursuit of his Bachelors of Science degree in Business Management.
He launched a number of successful businesses over the next several years yet his inclination and desire to entertain grew in his heart and soul. In 2002, Usman confirmed his feelings of wanting to entertain the masses when one evening while watching a film, he realized he belonged on screen instead of in the audience. Thus in 2003, Usman decided to begin his journey in pursuing entertainment professionally. He partnered with a friend to produce a documentary about women and their everyday struggles, which did very well in the film festival circuit, winning several awards including The Audience Award in The New York International Film Festival. This eventually relocated Usman to Los Angeles, Ca. Before his trek out west, Usman joined an acting class given by the well-respected acting teacher Tracey Moore. She then introduced Usman to her husband (at the time), director Maurice Marable, who cast him in his first break, a commercial for HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher."
Usman then landed pivotal supporting roles in the following high-profile feature films; Spike Lee's WWII epic "Miracle at St. Anna," as "Radio man Hughes" alongside Derek Luke, Michael Ealy, Laz Alonzo, Omar Benson, and Walton Goggins. "You're Nobody tilSomebody Kills You, produced by Spike Lee, "Notorious," directed by George Tillman Jr., chronicling the life of well-known rap artist Notorious B.I.G., and "3 Can Play That Game", as Alex starring Vivica A. Fox and directed by Samad Davis. Usman also starred in "HUG", ( 2009 Sundance Film Festival) and landed guest starring roles on HBO's "The Wire" and "Tyler Perry's House of Payne" as Firefighter Perkins.
No stranger to the titles Executive Producer and Producer, Usman Executive produced an award winning documentary entitled "A Pillar of Salt, The Angry Woman Syndrome", and the award winning and contest winning short film "Glimpse" which was the prelude to the award winning feature film "Mooz-Lum" (did not produce) starring NiaLong, Evan Ross, Danny Glover, Dorian Missick and Roger Guenervire Smith. Usman, Produced the documentary "Minds of Men" (in which he also starred). Usman is currently overseas in Ghana, West Africa Co-Executive Producing a new television reality show entitled "The Spirited Actor; Africa's Next Big Hollywood Star." He has plans to plant roots in Ghana furthering the "Gollywood" system of entertainment currently running there.
Usman continues to enjoy producing a variety of business opportunities as well.

Yellow supergiant
A yellow supergiant (YSG) is a supergiant star, generally of spectral type F or G. They are stars that have evolved away from the main sequence, expanding and becoming more luminous.
Yellow supergiants are smaller than red supergiants and less common, but there are still a number of prominent naked eye yellow supergiants such as Canopus and Polaris. Many of them are variable stars, mostly pulsating Cepheids such as δ Cephei itself.
Yellow supergiants generally have spectral types of F and G, although sometimes late A or early K stars are included.[1][2][3] These spectral types are characterised by hydrogen lines that are very strong in class A, weakening through F and G until they are very weak or absent in class K. Calcium H and K lines are present in late A spectra, but stronger in class F, and strongest in class G, before weakening again in cooler stars. Lines of ionised metals are strong in class A, weaker in class F and G, and absent from cooler stars. In class G, neutral metal lines are also found, along with CH molecular bands.[4]
Supergiants are identified in the MK system by luminosities classes Ia and Ib, with intermediates such as Iab and Ia/ab sometimes being used. These luminosity classes are assigned using spectral lines that are sensitive to luminosity. Historically, the Ca H and K line strengths have been used for yellow stars, as well as the strengths of various metal lines.[5] The neutral oxygen lines, such as the 777.3 nm triplet, have also been used since they are extremely sensitive to luminosity across a wide range of spectral types.[6] Modern atmospheric models can accurately match all the spectral line strengths and profiles to give a spectral classification, or even skip straight to the physical parameters of the star, but in practice luminosity classes are still usually assigned by comparison against standard stars.[4]
Some yellow supergiant spectral standard stars:[7]
- F0 Ib: α Leporis
- F2 Ib: 89 Herculis
- F5 Ib: α Persei
- F8 Ia: δ Canis Majoris
- G0 Ib: μ Persei
- G2 Ib: α Aquarii
- G5 Ib: 9 Pegasi
- G8 Ib: ε Geminorum
Yellow supergiants have a narrow range of temperatures corresponding to their spectral types, from about 4,000 K to 7,000 K.[9] Their luminosities range from about 1,000 L☉ upwards, with the most luminous stars exceeding 100,000 L☉. The high luminosities indicate that they are much larger than the sun, from about 30 R☉ to several hundred R☉.[10]
The masses of yellow supergiants vary greatly, from less than the sun for stars such as W Virginis to 20 M☉ or more (e.g. V810 Centauri). Corresponding surface gravities (log(g) cgs) are around 1-2 for high-mass supergiants, but can be as low as 0 for low-mass supergiants.[9][11]
Yellow supergiants are rare stars, much less common than red supergiants and main sequence stars. In M31, 16 yellow supergiants were found that were likely to have evolved from around 25,000 class O stars.[12]
Many yellow supergiants are in a region of the HR diagram known as the instability strip because their temperatures and luminosities cause them to be dynamically unstable. Most yellow supergiants observed in the instability strip are Cepheid variables, named for δ Cephei, which pulsate with well-defined periods that are related to their luminosities. This means they can be used as standard candles for determining the distance of stars knowing only their period of variability. Cepheids with longer periods are cooler and more luminous.[13]
Two distinct types of Cepheid variable have been identified, which have different period-luminosity relationships: Classical Cepheid variables are young massive population I stars; type II Cepheids are older population II stars with low masses, including W Virginis variables, BL Herculis variables and RV Tauri variables. The Classical Cepheids are more luminous than the type II Cepheids with the same period.[14]
R Coronae Borealis variables are often yellow supergiants, but their variability is produced by a different mechanism from the Cepheids. At irregular intervals, they become obscured by dust condensation around the star and their brightness drops dramatically.[15]
Supergiants are all stars that have evolved away from the main sequence after exhausting the hydrogen in their cores. Yellow supergiants are a heterogeneous group of stars crossing the HR diagram at various different stages of their evolution.
Stars more massive than 8-12 M☉ spend a few million years on the main sequence as class O and early B stars until the hydrogen in their cores becomes depleted. Then they expand and cool to become supergiants. They spend only a few thousand years as a yellow supergiant while cooling to become a red supergiant, then one to four million years as a red supergiant. Such massive stars make up less than 1% of all stars. Combined with the relative lifetime of the yellow supergiant phase, this explains the rarity of these stars.[16]
Some red supergiants will perform a blue loop, temporarily heating up and becoming yellow or even blue supergiants before cooling again. Stellar models show that blue loops are extremely sensitive to the chemical makeup of the star and to assumptions of the models themselves, but they are most likely for stars at the low end of the red supergiant mass range. While cooling for the first time or when performing a sufficiently extended blue loop, yellow supergiants will cross the instability strip and pulsate as Classical Cepheid variables with periods around ten days and longer.[17][18]
Intermediate mass stars do not become red supergiants when they leave the main sequence. Instead they cool along the subgiant branch until they reach the red giant branch. Stars more massive than about 2 M☉ have a sufficiently large helium core that it begins fusion before becoming degenerate. These stars will perform a blue loop, and for masses between about 5 M☉ and 12 M☉, the blue loop can extend to F and G spectral types at luminosities around 1,000 L☉. These stars may develop supergiant luminosity classes, especially if they are pulsating. When these stars cross the instability strip they will pulsate as short period Cepheids. Blue loops in these stars can last for around 10 million years, so this type of yellow supergiant is more common than the more luminous types.[19][20]
Stars with masses similar to the sun develop degenerate helium cores after they leave the main sequence and ascend to the tip of the red giant branch where they ignite helium in a flash. They then fuse core helium on the horizontal branch with luminosities too low to be considered supergiants. Stars leaving the blue half of the horizontal branch towards the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) pass through the yellow region of the HR diagram and will pulsate as BL Herculis variables. Such stars may be given a supergiant luminosity class due to their low masses and pulsation. On the AGB, thermal pulses from the helium fusing shell may cause a blue loop across the instability strip. Such stars will pulsate as W Virginis variables and again may be classified as relatively low luminosity yellow supergiants.[14]
When the hydrogen-fusing shell in low and intermediate mass stars on the AGB nears the surface of the star, the cool outer layers are rapidly lost, which causes the star to heat up, eventually becoming a white dwarf. These stars have masses lower than the sun, but luminosities that can be 10,000 L☉ or higher, so they will become yellow supergiants for a short time. Post-AGB stars are believed to pulsate as RV Tauri variables when they cross the instability strip.[21]
The evolutionary status of yellow supergiant R Coronae Borealis variables is unclear. They may be post-AGB stars reignited by a late helium shell flash, or they could be formed from white dwarf mergers.[22]
It is not expected that yellow supergiants should explode as a supernova before reaching the red supergiant stage, but the cores of some post-red supergiant yellow supergiants might collapse and trigger a supernova. A handful of supernovae have been associated with apparent yellow supergiant progenitors that are not luminous enough to be post-red supergiants. If these are confirmed then an explanation must be found for how a star of moderate mass still with a helium core would cause a core-collapse supernova. The obvious candidate in such cases is always some form of binary interaction.[23]
Yellow hypergiants[edit]
Particularly luminous and unstable yellow supergiants are often grouped into a separate class of stars called the yellow hypergiants. These are mostly thought to be post-red supergiant stars, very massive stars that have lost a considerable portion of their outer layers and are now evolving towards becoming blue supergiants and Wolf-Rayet stars.[24]

Skip to comments.When Benedict Meets Barack (Obama will help the Catholic Church find its footing in the world)
Posted on 07/05/2009 12:30:31 PM PDT by presidio9
click here to read article
I've heard the Pontiff has been eagerly trying to get a slot in Obama's schedule, what with how Obama is going to set him straight on all freaking things under the sun, and all.
I hope the Pope tells Bozo that he is too busy to see him because he is baptizing babies!
666 !!!
Unless the Pope planned an exorcism on Barry, I don't see the big deal.
matter-antimatter annihilation
Because Michelle is sure to show her non manners in one way or another.
Would they still be eligible for post-birth abortion according to the Illinois State Senate?
Well, at least they'll share common ground in undermining Israel with their joint insistence for the creation of a philistinian state.
TIME in the TANK.BO should be treated like
"I'm better than anyone else" N Pelosi.
Both Osama and the MSM will see this as a successful power play on the part of Osama. Neither will be capable of seeing it for what it is, the exercise of humility.
Only an obvious moment of analysis...but Time writes this kind of first-year college paper and publishes this as "news"?
The minor league analysis offered by Time is silly. The Pope and the church will lay out the problems and weaknesses of this administration...and offer to help move them to the right strategy. The President will attempt to smile and try to get his message across...but the Pope won't be buying into this deal.
BTW, I'm hoping y'all got a chance to read the entire article. It was only a couple of paragraphs longer, but I had to cut it there. The subheading was not mine, it was from the article. Intrepid Time Magazine reporter actually does get into Pope Benedict XVI's reasons for seeking out this meeting (which he did not seek out). Apparently, after 2000 years the Church could use the help of a man who voted "present" on the Born Alive Infant Protection Act to get its message out. Thanks Barry.
Maybe Obama will give the Pope an IPod with his address to NARAL and Deicide's greatest hits already loaded up. Maybe he could toss in Jenna Jameson's book as well.
Visualize Excommunication.
Barry won't be able to go on a world tour to manage the recession he's made worse and deepened.
At some point he and the Democrats will be toast.
As it is, if voters would read more about who did what they would NEVER have given Barney Frank who caused a lot of the mess more pals in the Congress and Senate.
I hope the Pope starts off by throwing Holy water on President Barry. Would be a hoot if he starts to melt...
It's good to see what the enemy is saying.
With Obama's help, the Catholic Church can begin to right itself once again? I just bet ....
Obama can help the Catholic Church find a mission, relevance, staying power.
Benedict, 2000 years of St. Peter. Obama, 6 months of Richard Daley.
One would hope the Pope will remind the pro-abortion Obama that his conduct will lead him straight to hell.
This assinine comment serves no purpose in the context of this article, other than to let the reader know you have a perjudice of some sort against the Catholic Church. You obviously did not read any of Pope Benedict XVI's comments about Palestine, which were 100% neutral. President George W. Bush gave a speech on June 24 2002 in which he proposed a Palestinian state. It was a lot more specific. I suppose you lump him in witrh Obama and Arafat for that one. Not.
"Obama will help the Catholic Church find its footing in the world"
Exactly- GWB was against all kinds of abortion while zero wanted to allow live birth abortion....nothing could be more opposite...
The Roman Catholic Church has been around for almost two thousand years. "0" has only been around for a few. What an arrogant, narcissistic buffoon!
Although I do not for one second, in my heart, believe that uhbama, inside, gives two hoots and one hollar what the Pope believes or has to say.
uhbama is a narcissist. He will do what he has to for the photo op, tell the Pope he hopes abortions lesson, and then be on his merry way.
I hope the Pope is armed with words that shake the very soul of uhbama.
And that will be my prayer.
In the ambassador noms, O has been sending deliberately insulting candidates to the Vatican. The pope refused to make any comment on honoring Obama with a degree at Notre Dame.
Wouldn't that be grand?
"the symbolism and sheer star power of the encounter "
"And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. " - Luke 16:15
Love to be a fly on the wall. It's about time Obama made time in his schedule for the Holy Father.
The press will have their carefully worded review for our edification of how well the event went and how charming Michelle was. Maybe it's already typed! ;-)
Obama isn't pretending to be a Catholic, so the Pope is less likely to read him the riot act.
And Kerry, Rudy, Justice Anthony Kennedy, Ted Kennedy, Pelosi, and all the rest of those clowns.
I've always liked this Pope. But when he expresses hope for a philistinian state he's lost me.
Bush was wrong about it too, so on that score, yeah, I'd "lump him in" with Arafat, Obama and you evidently.
**the Pope is less likely to read him the riot act.**
Personally, I'd rather see the Pope Publicly Refute Nobama, and announce He will NOT RECEIVE the President for any reason.
Bless their hearts, sometimes even the Vatican is politically tone deaf.
Watch Raymond Arroyo's show at the beginning on EWTN on Friday evening called "The World Over" - if anyone catches the mood or tidbits out of it he will have it from the Vatican view. He is very witty. Good friend of Laura Ingraham I believe.
***Obama isnt pretending to be a Catholic, so the Pope is less likely to read him the riot act.***
That reminds me: a year ago, the press was full of speculation that GWB would convert, much as Tony Blair and Newt Gingrich wound up converting.
But to the matter at hand; Obama doesn't act like a Christian, much less a Catholic.
There was a lecture/homily on EWTN about the result of education without virtue: Men begin to think they're God.
Here is a study in contrasts!
"Sooo, dumpkopf, you sink you are Messiahh, ya?"
Yes it was, and many here forget, he was the first sitting President to do so. Just one of my many beefs with GW, along with Open borders, and allowing our troops to be put on trial, by fake civilian charges.
Anything short of that? I`m not interested, sorry.
Well, you weren't very persuasive in your argument in your choice of article to link. I had thought your point was that Barak Obama and Pope Benedict were the only two world leaders calling for the so-called "two state solution" in Israel, so I pointed out that President GW Bush had also done so. Your response was a convoluted article from the Times of London. Leaving aside the fact that the Times has a long history of taking every anti-Catholic position available, I could have found you a dozen articles that made a better case for the charge I assume you are grasping at.
The clear point that the Times is making is that some people in Israel think the Pope is an anti-Semite, and they may be right. The article says that the right-wing government was angered by "his call for a Palestinian homeland," but it fails to quote the man directly (in a long article). Even the Israelis would go along with a two-state solution if the right conditions were met. The press did the same thing with John Paul II, when he called for peace in Iraq and the MSM implied that he was calling Saddam Hussein an OK guy. For a Christian, the Pope's reaction to any diplomatic crisis is 100% predictable: He has WWJD tattooed on his eyelids. Sometimes he gets it wrong, but that's his only blueprint for any controversy. Obama might call for two states out of fundamental character weakness. The Pope always argues from the strength of his convictions. That's how he got to be Pope.
The rest of the article recycles several tired anti-Catholic prejudices (BTW, Jews can also be guilty of bigotry). The article implies that some Jews are mad that the Vatican is making Puis XII a saint. Interesting that some (unnamed) people feel that way, but it is a lie based on a falsehood. Only the Pope can make the decision on beatification (he has not). Elevation to sainthood takes miracles, which no Pope can supply. These days, if all sainthood required was a Pope's approval, Mother Theresa would already be a saint. And the myth that Puis XII somehow collaborated with the Nazis, or even did less than was in his power to end the Holocaust has been thoroughly debunked. Sixty years ago prominent Jews like Golda Meir and Alfred Einstein had already come out on the side of the Catholic Church concerning this controversy. I don't know if Puis XII was a saint, but the man has been completely exonerated to all but conspiracy theorists. Leave it to the Times to bring it up again here. I don't remember Israel's government doing so. Just like the Times reporting "some demanded the Pope be arrested" over supposed Jewish treasures hoarded by the Vatican. A pretty strong accusation, but the writer failed to identify the "some" or anything about the nature of the stolen treasures. I hope you see the pattern here.
I posted you to rebut a dumb point you made. I offered the facts, and took no side in the argument. That didn't stop you from making assumptions about me. I have no love for the Palestinians -and, yeah, that's the name they're going by these days. So unless you're prepared to start referring to the Italians as "Romans," you're just going to end up sounding ignorant and inconsistent to a lot of people. Calling them by their current name doesn't make you a sympathizer. That being said, I see nothing wrong with hoping for a day when they can be allowed to have their own state. I don't see that happening, but it's a nice thought. That was George Bush's thought, and the Pope's too. It does not lump any of us in, as you so simplistically did, with Arafat or Obama. If you fail to grasp the simple logic here, you have zero standing to pass judgment on any of us.
Looks like you missed the same point. See if post 47 helps.
The Pope is not in a position to disqualify anyone from "the Christian faith." He could tell Obama that he has automatically excommunitcated himself from Catholicism through his pro-abortion legislation, but I doubt that Obama, a non-Catholic, would care very much. The Pope will undoubtedly offer a strong rebuke against abortion, but, again, I doubt he will care very much. Some presidents have had relationships with Popes, but this is nothing more than a photo-op.
He will. Obama won't care.

The US Tax Code recognizes the profits resulting from stock ownership as capital gains, which are generally taxed at a lower rate than your other income or wages. You pay the taxes due on such profits when you file your regular income taxes.
Realizing Capital Gains
You only have a taxable capital gain on your stock investments if you sold shares of stock during the year for a profit. If you do not sell a stock, you will not have a reportable taxable gain and no taxes are due. It is possible to own shares of a specific stock for many years and never pay taxes on the gains, as long as the shares are not sold.
Short-Term and Long-Term Gains
The capital gains on stocks you have sold must be divided into short- and long-term gains. Long-term gains are from stocks you held for more than one year on the date you sold them. Short-term gains are from stocks owned for one year or less when the shares were sold. Short-term gains are taxed at the same rate as all other income. Long-term gains are taxed at a much lower rate than your regular income tax rate. The actual rate is based on the amount of your taxable income.
Required Information
Report the capital gains from the sale of stock on Schedule D and attach it to your regular income tax return. Report the purchase date and price of each stock sold, as well as the sale date, price and number of shares sold. The form is set up in two sections for long-term and short-term capital gains. Only stocks sold during the tax year are reported on the Schedule D.
Capital Losses
When you lose money from the sale of a stock, you incur a capital loss, which can be used to offset any gains from selling other stocks. Capital losses are also divided into short- and long-term categories, using the same one-year cutoff. Use short-term losses to offset short-term gains and long-term losses against long-term gains. Any left over losses are used against the other type of gains. If total losses exceed the gains, up to $3,000 in capital losses can be used to offset other income in any one year.

I order 5lb bags because it is economical and I don't have to worry about running out. Also the Kentucky brand needs to be packaged in zip lock type bags and more moisture would be nice.

Proposal blocks certain pensionsFebruary 04,2013Proposal blocks
certain pensions
MONTPELIER A Vermont House committee is about to complete work on a proposal by Gov. Peter Shumlin to block public employees convicted of certain crimes from collecting their full pensions.
The House Government Operations Committee has been looking into the issue.
Shumlin made the proposal following revelations last year that a longtime Vermont State Police employee, Sgt. James Deeghan, had been padding his overtime reports.
Deeghan recently pleaded guilty and faces up to two years in prison and repayment of more than $200,000 from his pension over six years.
Pensions typically are based on a persons last three years of income. The legislation would guard against pensions being paid out when that income was improperly inflated.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Sen.

Profession struggling to 'figure out' EY Law
Topics: Alternative business structures,In-house
Senior lawyers at global accountancy giant EY say the new entrant into the legal services market has benefited from the legal profession's struggle to 'figure us out'.
EY Law's Matthew Kellett (pictured), head of law, financial services, told the Gazette that many solicitors still referred to the 'big four' accountancy firms as 'accountants'.
But Kellett stressed that just over half of EY's business is management consultancy: 'We are an accountancy firm culturally but not a firm of accountants. It suits us that people cannot figure us out or have not done so yet.'
Philip Goodstone, head of law, UK and Ireland, said the firm's competitors are 'whoever is strong' in any market EY Law is competing for work.
Goodstone said EY Law is 'not trying to replace what the market already has'. But he added: 'If we cannot position ourselves differently and distinctly, there's no point doing what we do.
'Our fixation is on what we're doing, not on how the market chooses to box us.'
EY became the third of the 'big four' to be granted an alternative business structure licence by the Solicitors Regulation Authority in 2014 along with PwC Legal and KPMG. Deloitte has said it has no plans to go down the ABS route.
EY said at the time it expected to have a legal presence in more than 80 jurisdictions by 2017.
'Even the biggest magic circle firms have a footprint in about 20 jurisdictions. We do other assignments where we're covering 70 jurisdictions,' Kellett said.
At present the UK team has more than 40 lawyers, with plans to grow to 60 by the end of June. Goodstone said the UK team 'should be something like 150 people or maybe more' by 2020. The financial services legal team could grow to 75-100 lawyers, Kellett said.
The UK team will also take on between four and six trainees this year. Kellett said the financial services team will 'get some trainees in due course'.
Goodstone added that growth was 'not just a numbers game for us. We're not looking to build just for building's sake. Success for me will be when we get our first internally promoted partners'.
Readers' comments (7)
'We are an accountancy firm culturally but not a firm of accountants. It suits us that people cannot figure us out or have not done so yet.'
In F Troop, the Heck Are We Tribe adopted their name when they couldn't work out where they were.
As long as no one can work out what they really do (which they seem to like) EY Law will eventually trade on their special USP and re-brand going forward for synergistic economies of scale and optimum performance indication and become "Heckarewe Law". And we'll all be a lot better informed.

Hello all
I got a laptop with spec Intel Pentium M 1.73GHz, 736 MB RAM and ATI Mobility Radeon 9100 IGP Video card. (I am an idiot on these I dont know what these means) BUT I wanna know if this system can support me playing a flight simulator (FSX for example). I just want to play commercial airliners and I wanna fly from one airport to the other - so its rather simple. Do you think a FSX or something cheaper could do this job?
Thanks for all your help!

Jewellery chain Michael Hill International, whose relocation to Australia generated tax benefits, says it will shortly respond to the Australian Tax Office's challenge to its valuation of intellectual property.
The ATO disputes about $NZ40 million ($A31.95 million) of the $NZ50.2 million ($A40.09 million) deferred tax asset raised as a result of the IP being transferred to an Australian unit of Michael Hill from a New Zealand unit.
The company, now based in Queensland, says its deferred tax asset balance was $NZ42.6 million as at June 30.
The company also is in dispute with the Inland Revenue Department over $NZ17.9 million of tax deductions claimed as a result of the sale of the assets within the group.
"Both matters are capable of being resolved by agreement, but if the group is unable to find common ground with either the IRD or ATO then further formal legal processes may be needed to achieve resolution," chairman Sir Michael Hill says in the company's annual report.
The company doesn't consider it necessary to provide a provision in its 2012 financial statements for either of the tax disputes, he says.
Under the original transaction, the company transferred the intellectual property of its "Michael Hill Jeweller System of Retailing" from its Michael & Co unit to its Australian subsidiary, Michael Hill Franchise, for $NZ293 million, effective December 15, 2008.
The company recognised a one-time tax credit from the transaction of $NZ53 million in its 2009 annual accounts.
The valuation of the IP was provided by UK-based Valuation Consulting and subsequently amended lower to $NZ274 million after the ATO gained its own valuation.
"The group does not accept the ATO's position and believes the ATO's views are based on a number of factual, legal and technical valuation errors," Sir Michael said.
Shares of Michael Hill last traded unchanged at $NZ1.19 and have climbed 33 per cent this year.

Best deal on the north shore. This is not a condo. It is a studio on an exclusive, gated private property.
-Our unit comes with a washer and dryer!!!!
-Beach chairs and boogie boards, etc......
-2 acre professionally landscaped yard
-1 parking stall and extra guest parking
-Free Wi-Fi
-Dvd players and 30' flat screen
There is a beautiful view of mount Ka'ala the highest mountain on the island of oahu, at 4,025 feet. This lush, manicured 2-acre landscaped estate brings an essence of paradise to our home. Tropical fruit trees are all around, mango, banana, citrus, papaya and avocado. This spacious island studio was built and situated to take advantage of the cool hawaiian trade-winds and hear the sound of the waves crashing year round.
The ocean is less than 300 yards away. The access to a world class neighborhood beach is only ten houses down the street. Less than 1 mile from polo fields and sky diving at dillingham airfield.
Our studio is very clean, casual and well taken care of and all of the appliances are brand new. The Room is furnished with a very comfortable Balinese Teak queen bed.. The bathroom has a walk in shower and bamboo island ceilings. Tropical furnishings make you feel like you are living in an island retreat. Guests park in their own private parking stall. The sky is fantastic at night because we have minimal street lights to interfere with the brilliance of the stars and planets. The owner lives on site so NO PARTIES PLEASE.
Please email me with your dates so i can access my calendar for information
I was born on the island of Oahu and have been living here on and off for the last 36 years. My family and I live on the property which should give your stay a warm and welcome one. We love to travel and visit new places around the world. After visiting so many places we learned about what a traveler needed. We decided to provide such a place with our own vacation rental.

I have traveled all over the world and there is still no place like the North Shore of Oahu. Our property and location has everything you need for your Hawaiian vacation get-away.
We have fallen in love with our property because of the country living aspect. There is something to be said for waking up to North Shore country Roosters!!!!! We also love living so close to the ocean and hearing the massive waves roar in the winter months.
It was such a great experience. The house had everything I needed. It was very much felt like home and was a great place to unwind after the days adventure. The studio was quiet and we felt very safe. The hosts were awesome. The location is great and the North Shore is amazing.
Two of us stayed in this studio unit for three nights. The owners were very easy to coordinate with - we texted to find a good check-in time etc. The family has a large house on the property, as well as some other buildings, and you reach the studio and the other larger rental unit (they are attached) via a long driveway. The property is gated, so along with a key you are provided an opener to the gate. It felt very safe. Be aware that the family has a few dogs. I love dogs, so no issues there, but others might not.
We found the unit to be quite nice and pretty comfortable, with the exception of the bed. The mattress was very hard and we were both tossing and turning some at night. Also, each morning there was a lot of loud activity outside - seemed like property improvement projects, etc. We were not able to sleep in, which is a bummer when you're on vacation, but it did get us up and about.
Another bummer when you're on vacation is the need to occasionally work, which I had to do, but the wifi signal was very weak. (If a project that I was expecting had come in, I would have gone to the coffee shop in Waialua, but luckily it did not - yay!) Ultimately, if you will need a lot of online access, this is probably not the best option for you.
Overall, pretty nice spot but just be aware of those couple of nits.
This was a wonderful location, and a very nice studio! We loved that the studio was at the back of the property, and had it's own deck/shower area. The inside was very beautifully decorated and the bathroom/shower was amazing! The space was quite large for a studio, and the decorating and utlization of space was very well thought out. We loved that it was off of a small residential street that was connected to even smaller street. We were able to run several days right from the studio due to the quiet streets and the close proximity to the bike path. The public beach access was very close and it was very neat and safe! WE LOVED THIS LOCATION, STUDIO, AND THE MANAGER! we will definitely stay here again on our next trip!!!!!
My trip to the north shore was like no other. The VRBO I stayed in made me feel at home and was just the right place for 1 - 2 people. Close to towns and amenities.
I had a wonderful stay in this quiet, beautiful and peaceful rural Hawaiian Home. The studio was just right for my needs on this trip. The Studio was clean with updated decor, great little kitchen and located in a safe gated area. I travel often for work and work some very long hours, each night I felt like I was returning home.
I did have some down time and enjoyed the short walk to the beach as well as Paddle Boarding in Hale'iwa, the surfing community is just a few miles down the road. There is a running/walking trail that is also easily accessible. The drive to Honolulu/Waikiki is about 40 mins (longer in commute traffic) but easy to get to Pearl Harbor as well as downtown.
Laurie was very helpful and pleasant to work with during my stay. I look forward to returning and hope to bring family next time. Mahalo, Laurie!
This place was the perfect little romantic getaway and cozy little studio for just the two of us. The owner/ landlord was more than hospitable! Always making sure we were ok.
I was a little dissapointed at the fact it is attached to a house, and I could hear baby's crying and the people renting the house were fairly loud at night so it was difficult for us to get some peace and quiet, we were looking for something a bit more secluded. But that was the only downfall. We will absolutely return next year, and make sure we get the big house next time;)
On Sundays the polo field holds matches from teams around the world-this is a 5 min walk down the beach. Haleiwa, the main town, is only a 6 minuted drive away. Here you can buy your shave ice, groceries, shop at local shops and eat at amazing restaurants. If you like to surf or paddle board, Surf n Sea is located in Haleiwa. Rent a board for a week and explore! There are endless thing to do on the North Shore! Hike, snorkel, collect shells, surf, boogie board, watch the sunset and more. Farmers Markets are must do when visiting the North Shore

Eye gets one more fight, is taking a year
Bantamweight Jessica Eye entered the UFC on a seven-fight win streak. She has gone 1-5 with one No Contest since. It does not sound like an impressive record, but Eye is actually a world-class fighter. Eye beat Sarah Kaufman via Split Decision in her league debut, but it was changed to a No Contest after she
