The globe artichoke (Cynara scolymus) belongs to the thistle family and grew originally around the Mediterranean in southern Europe. However, it is now being successfully cultivated elsewhere in the world wherever the climate is mild and humid, and particularly in the US, with a thriving industry in California. It is grown for its edible, large, globe-like flower buds which are used in salads, its fleshy, edible leaves and the base of the globe, known as the heart.
According to Greek mythology, the artichoke came about when the god Zeus fell in love with a beautiful mortal named Cynara. He enjoyed her company so much that in order to keep her nearby for future trysts, he made her a goddess and settled her on Olympia. However she became homesick and decided to go back home for a brief visit. When Zeus discovered this, he was so furious that he flung her back to earth and transformed her into an artichoke. It is perhaps this myth that gave the artichoke its reputation as an aphrodisiac â which women were not allowed to eat!
Other dietary benefits of the artichoke are:
- It relieves abdominal pain, nausea and flatulence
- It is a mild diuretic, a cleansing and detoxifying agent (making it useful in the treatment of gout, rheumatism and arthritis)
- It is high in fibre, potassium, calcium, iron and a source of important trace elements helpful in promoting a healthy body
- Can help with weight loss by improving the metabolism.
Medical books from the Tudor era document the health benefits of artichokes and claim their usefulness in many ailments, from excessive body odour to gonorrhoea! They were commonly believed to be aphrodisiacs and to increase sexual appetite and fertility in both men and women. They are symbolically associated with the stripping away of obstacles to get to the heart of the matter.
Once a delicacy reserved for the rich, artichokes are now available to all and, with the numerous health benefits they offer, we should all be including them in our diet.

New technology developed for autistic people could help people everywhere be more aware of the thoughts and feelings of others. Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a pair of glasses that use computer technology to scan and recognize nonverbal emotional cues on other people's faces. The glasses use a camera the size of grain of rice connected to a computer the size of a deck of cards. The camera watches 24 key points on a person's face and inputs the data into the computer. The software interprets the movements and compares them to a database of known expressions.
The computer then sends signal to an earphone and lights a light on the frame. If the person seems happy, the lights flashes green. If things are not going well, a red light flashes.
Researchers hope the device could help ordinary people be more attentive to the needs and concerns of those they encounter. Test indicate subjects were able to distinguish the correct emotion 54 percent of the time by themselves, but with the help of the glasses their accuracy jumped to an average of being right 64 per cent of the time.
--A new kind of glasses can reveal a person's true emotions, http://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/scientists-create-glasses-that-expose-what-people-are-really-feeling; July, 2011, Illustration by Jim L. Wilson and Jim Sandell.
These glasses provide insight to our thoughts, but The Lord knows what we really thinking.
Psalm 139:23 (CEV) Look deep into my heart, God, and find out everything I am thinking.

LONDON, February 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
TRUSTe and Promontory today launched a joint BCR Management Program designed to make it quicker, simpler and cheaper for businesses to prepare for compliance with the Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) regime, apply for authorisation from their Data Protection Authority to use BCRs for international data transfers within their organisation, and self-certify their ongoing BCRs compliance through the Program.
BCRs are designed to allow multinational companies to transfer personal data from the European Economic Area (EEA) to their affiliates located outside of the EEA in compliance with Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC. The most utilised current alternative to BCRs is the use of the model contractual clauses approved by the European Commission. However, in multinational companies with complex structures, there are drawbacks where hundreds of contracts may be required to cover transfers between all affiliates, and keeping those contracts up to date can be difficult and time consuming.
The new TRUSTe-Promontory BCR Management Program will be delivered and managed by TRUSTe, the leading global provider of data privacy management solutions, based on a framework developed by Promontory, a global regulatory compliance consulting firm. The framework will help companies build their BCR application in a streamlined and consistent manner. Once the application is approved by the relevant Data Protection Authorities, the company will remain a member of the TRUSTe-Promontory BCR Management Program to evidence and certify their ongoing compliance with BCR standards. This new program is designed to offer organisations the combination of TRUSTe's credibility and experience in developing privacy certification programs and Promontory's experience of European data protection regulation and addressing corporate compliance around international data transfers.
"As the challenges of ensuring both regulatory compliance and good privacy practices increase, BCRs are an ideal way for organisations to demonstrate compliance with European data privacy standards when transferring and using customer and employee personal information overseas. This new program we are launching with Promontory today should encourage more organisations to take advantage of the benefits of BCRs and demonstrate that they have good privacy practices at their heart of their business," said Danilo Labovic, EMEA Managing Director for TRUSTe.
Simon McDougall, Managing Director and Head of Promontory's Privacy Practice said: "I am delighted to be working with TRUSTe, who are global leaders in privacy self-regulation. In an ideal world, all international firms would use Binding Corporate Rules when moving personal data around their corporate group. However, many organisations currently see the application process as complicated and expensive. The TRUSTe-Promontory BCR Management Program will help make demonstrating BCR readiness cheaper, simpler and quicker. Members of the program will able to demonstrate their commitment to good privacy governance, as well as make their international data transfers easier."

3 Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) are designed to allow multinational companies to transfer personal data from the European Economic Area (EEA) to their affiliates located outside of the EEA in compliance with Directive 95/46/EC.
Applicants must demonstrate that their BCRs put in place adequate safeguards for protecting personal data throughout the organisation in line with the requirements of the Article 29 Working Party papers on Binding Corporate Rules.
Applicants apply to a Data Protection Authority (DPA) (decided by criteria related to their location and business) who acts as their 'lead authority'. If the lead authority is satisfied, it then circulates the draft BCRs to other European DPAs, where those countries are in scope of the application.

In an effort to bring hope and healing to hearing-impaired orphans and children at St. Vincent's Center for Handicapped Children in Port-au-Prince, The Red Thread Promise has teamed with Team Canada Healing Hands to provide hearing / audiological services to children in need. Our partnership allows both groups to focus on different aspects of the project, capitalizing on our individual strengths, with one common goal: to give the gift of hearing to as many children in Haiti as possible.
Team Canada has spearheaded the construction of an audiology booth onsite at St. Vincent's. Also called a sound isolation chamber, this booth is used by audiologists to accurately evaluate the children's degree of hearing loss and make appropriate recommendations for treatment and / or hearing aids. Technicians in the group make molds, conduct hearing aid testing and fitting sessions, provide follow ups and maintenance.
The Red Thread Promise has taken on the challenge of raising funds to purchase 500 NEW digital hearing aids: enough for each hearing impaired child at St. Vincent's as well as stocking the permanent hearing clinic for the surrounding community. Children who previously had used analog aids will receive new digital aids specifically programmed for their hearing loss. Orphans who only had one aid but needed two will receive two.
Our goal is lofty—500 hearing aids by the end of 2012. To date, we have raised $5,000 to purchase 16 hearing aids. For each donation of $300, The Red Thread Promise can purchase and donate one digital hearing aid to a child in need. Such a small price for an invaluable gift!
Sure, that may be an odd title for an update, but the news is wonderful! If you've been following our care of little Christopher from Haiti, you already know that at a very young age he was diagnosed with sickle cell disease in his home country. The Red Thread Promise has been supporting his medical care for almost 3 years as he waited for his adoption to an American family to be complete. Thankfully, the wait is over!
In January, Christopher was finally issued his passport and came to the US to be with 8 new siblings (4 adopted from Haiti as well) and 2 loving parents. And, true to our word, we continued to support his care for the disease by arranging for him to be seen by sickle cell specialist, Dr. Julie Kanter in New Orleans, Louisiana.
On March 10, The Red Thread converged on the pediatric unit at Tulane Hospital for Children and the Sickle Cell Center of Southern Louisiana. And there he was, Christopher, on US soil! It was a beautiful moment that we had waited so long for—in his mother's arms, watching classic cartoons in the waiting room.
We were ushered into an exam room and met by very friendly social workers and Dr. Kanter. She explained everything that would happen that afternoon: blood tests, pathology, a "sickle cell 101" session, etc. We discussed Christopher's current health and reviewed what we knew of his care and treatment in Haiti. Following our appointment, Dr. Kanter would review his labs and determine the kind of sickle cell he has, make referrals for specialists closer to the family's home, and develop a long-term treatment plan.
The next morning we returned for the follow up and Dr. Kanter delivered the best news that we could have hoped for: based on extensive blood work and tests, Christopher does not have sickle cell disease! However, she did determine that he does have sickle cell trait, the genetic code for passing on the disease. After the jumping for joy and dancing concluded, we asked Dr. Kanter two key questions:
Dr. Kanter suspects that a single test was done by the Haitian doctors to form their opinion. She explained that this particular test is by far the least expensive and that it will indeed pick up any trace of sickle cell. However, Dr. Kanter explained that the test does not distinguish between sickle cell disease and sickle cell trait, a critical distinction. Unless the hospital did further testing—like what was done in Louisiana—the doctors incorrectly concluded that he has the disease. We are unsure if this additional testing is even available in Haiti. However, we learned valuable information about sickle cell disease and trait that will help us in our support of the next child. And, the news is positive for other orphans suspected of having this painful disease—blood can be drawn on the child in question and brought to the US to complete the test and get conclusive results.
For Christopher this means that he won't have to be on penicillin and folic acid for the rest of his life or undergo yearly testing to detect his propensity for strokes. He won't have painful episodes that often lead to hospitalization and blood transfusions. Since he has sickle cell trait, it does mean there is a 25% chance that he will pass along the trait or the disease to his children.
We couldn't be more thrilled with 3 years of work on behalf of this one precious child:
Together, we did for him what we would do for our own child: get testing done, get second opinions and explore all options for treatment. We rest assured that our love for every child knows no boundaries, in sickness and in health. And we are thankful for your support.
You've seen this adorable face for the past two years in numerous reports. The Red Thread Promise has been supporting little Christopher over that time, providing medical care and hospitalization during the treatment of his sickle cell anemia since 2009.
Just this week, we received word that Christopher will be traveling to the United States to be united with his forever family at the end of January! But his care by The Red Thread Promise will continue. Christopher will spend about 5 weeks with his new family in Texas before he and his parents travel to New Orleans, LA to meet with a sickle cell specialist. This generous doctor has offered to help us continue his care, running the necessary tests, after which she will meet with Christopher's parents to discuss the test results, as well as a short- and long term treatment plan for his care.
Because of your generous donations, The Red Thread Promise can continue to support his medical care until after the doctor has met with the family and a clear plan of action is set in motion. We will send Christopher home knowing we have done the best we can so he can live a happy and healthy life with as few sickle cell episodes as possible.
During our many visits to Haiti since 2009, we have taken a long, hard look at some basic necessities that, while abundant in many parts of the world, are at a premium in Haiti. One of those critical necessities is potable water.
Potable water is pure enough to drink with a low risk of harm, both immediate and over the course of time. In Haiti, thousands upon thousands of people have inadequate access to potable water. Water sources are often severly contaminated, as most recently demonstrated in the cholera outbreak which plagues the country to this day. (For the latest in the cholera epidemic, please see: http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/haitians-risk-cholera-deaths-as-aid-agencies-withdraw)
The Red Thread Promise is working with several other agencies to install a large water filtration system at St. Vincent's Center for Handicapped Children in downtown Port-au-Prince. St. Vincent's serves children with a variety of disabilities (including hearing impairment, sight impairment, loss of limbs, etc), providing an education, medical services and home for students and orphans in their care. During the months at the height of the cholera epidemic, the Center's Director had to make critical choices with St. Vincent's limited funds: provide a meal or fresh water for the students. Naturally, water was the choice. Students went with little to no food for some time as funds were constantly being used to purchase expensive clean water.
Working together, our team is currently fundraising and planning for the installation of a water filtration system so that the Center's Director no longer has to make this critical choice. Once in place, a constant source of potable water will be available for the Center, staff and students. Extra water will be sold to the public for a nominal fee in order to generate enough income for the filtration system to be self-sustaining. Routine maintenance will keep the filtration system in operating condition constantly so no child has to go without water.
Thank you for your supporting The Red Thread's efforts to provide clean drinking water to orphans and students at St. Vincent's as well as the people in the surrounding area.
Christopher is an orphan in Haiti who suffers from sickle cell anemia. Sickle cell anemia is a disease passed down through families in which red blood cells form an abnormal crescent shape. The fragile, sickle-shaped cells deliver less oxygen to the body's tissues. They can also get stuck more easily in small blood vessels, and break into pieces that interrupt healthy blood flow. Almost all patients with sickle cell anemia have painful episodes (called crises), which can last from hours to days. These crises can affect the bones of the back, the long bones, and the chest. (Excerpt from PubMed Health)
The Red Thread Promise (TRTP) has been funding Christopher's medical needs since he was a toddler. We have loved being a part of his life, watching him grow and always enjoy visiting him whenever possible during our frequent trips to Haiti.
TRTP received a beautiful note from Christopher's forever mother, Jana, who is anxiously awaiting the final adoption paperwork to be processed.
In her note, she states "The Red Thread Promise has been such a HUGE part of bringing Christopher home. We would not have been able to get this far without you. Rachel [orphanage director] says that Christopher has been in much better health since TRTP has supplied the orphanage with a constant supply of medicine and vitamins for him and the other children. We are grateful for the monthly funding you continue to supply for his care while he is in Haiti."
"Our [adoption] paperwork is at the office of the Minister of the Interior in Haiti, the last step before being issued Christopher's passport and visa. As soon as we arrive in the states, we anxiously look forward to meeting with the sickle cell specialists that you have arranged for us in Louisiana. It is amazing that you were able to make this connection on our behalf to help us prepare a long-term plan for Christopher's care. We will think of you every time we look at our precious son. We look forward to the day that we are able to bring him home to stay."
It has been and continues to be our pleasure to support children like Christopher in their time of need. We too look forward to when he is able to go home to his forever family. He will always be in our hearts.

MCKESSON WATER PRODUCTS COMPANY, PLAINTIFF-RESPONDENT,v.DIRECTOR, DIVISION OF TAXATION, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
On appeal from the Tax Court of New Jersey, Docket No. 0156-04, whose decision is reported at 23 N.J. Tax 449 (Tax 2007).
Argued January 27, 2009
Before Judges Winkelstein, Fuentes and Chambers.
In this appeal, we are required to decide whether the Tax Court correctly construed the term "nonoperational income," as used in N.J.S.A. 54:10A-6.1(a), to determine whether plaintiff's gain from a deemed asset sale under Internal Revenue Code § 338(h)(10) is subject to the New Jersey Corporation Business Tax (CBT). As a corollary to this issue, the Director of Taxation also asks us to remand this matter for the Tax Court to consider the applicability of the "unitary business" principle, in light of the United States Supreme Court's decision in Meadwestvaco Corp. v. Illinois Department of Revenue, 553 U.S. ___, 128 S.Ct. 1498, 170 L.Ed. 2d 404 (2008).
After carefully reviewing the record developed before the Tax Court, and considering prevailing legal standards, we affirm Judge Kuskin's well-reasoned opinion, as reported in McKesson Water Products Co., v. Director, Division of Taxation, 23 N.J. Tax 449 (Tax 2007). Because the Tax Court decided this case on cross-motions for summary judgment, we will rely on the core material facts that informed the Tax Court's decision.*fn1
At all times relevant to this case, McKesson Water Products Company (McKesson-Water) was a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business located in the State of California. McKesson-Water was a wholly-owned subsidiary of McKesson Corporation (McKesson-Parent); McKesson-Water was in the business of processing and selling bottled drinking water across the country by direct delivery and at retail establishments. McKesson-Parent was a Delaware Corporation with its commercial domicile in California. It sold and distributed pharmaceuticals and other healthcare-related products.
On January 10, 2000, McKesson-Parent entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Danone International Brands, Inc. and Groupe Danone, S.A. (Danone), under which McKesson-Parent agreed to sell all of its stock in McKesson-Water to Danone. The sale took place on February 29, 2000. The parties to the Stock Purchase Agreement made an election under I.R.C. 338(h)(10). The Tax Court gave the following explanation of the tax benefits derived from such an election.
A Section 338(h)(10) election permits a sale of stock to be treated, for federal income tax purposes, as a sale of assets by the entity whose stock is being sold (the "target corporation") to a hypothetical new corporation of the same name. The target corporation is deemed to have received a purchase price equal to the amount that was in fact paid by the purchaser to the parent corporation as consideration for the purchase of the target corporation's stock.
The target corporation is then deemed to have made a liquidating distribution to its shareholder(s). As a result of the deemed sale, the assets of the target corporation receive a stepped-up basis for purposes of depreciation under the Internal Revenue Code. See Treas. Reg. 1.338-1(a) and (d) (describing a deemed sale of assets transaction). [McKesson, supra, 23 N.J. Tax at 451.]
Thus, McKesson-Parent's sale of McKesson-Water's stock to Danone was treated, for federal income tax purposes, as if McKesson-Water had sold its assets to a new company of the same name. Under this fictional sale, [t]he new company was deemed to have paid to [McKesson-Water], as the purchase price of the assets, an amount equal to the purchase price Danone paid [McKesson-Parent] for [McKesson-Water's] stock. [McKesson-Water] was then deemed to have liquidated and to have distributed to [McKesson-Parent] the proceeds of the hypothetical sale of its assets. [Id. at 452.]
McKesson-Parent filed a consolidated federal income tax return for the period April 1, 1999, through March 31, 2000, that recognized no gain or loss from the sale of McKesson-Water stock. McKesson-Water filed a New Jersey CBT return for the period, between April 1, 1999, and February 29, 2000, reporting a tax due in the amount of $244,990. William J. Peeters, the Director of Tax Audits for McKesson-Parent, submitted a detailed affidavit explaining the accounting methods he used to determine the CBT due. Based on this analysis, McKesson-Water sought to offset the $244,990 tax due, and $8,084 interest due, against its estimated payments of $2,065,100, resulting in a refund request of $1,812,026.
On May 7, 2001, the Division issued a determination letter notifying McKesson-Water that it increased McKesson-Water's tax due by $807,092, or from $244,990 to $1,052,082, resulting in a reduction in McKesson's refund to $1,013,018. Acting on McKesson-Water's protest, the Division's Conference and Appeals Branch held an administrative conference on August 6, 2002. On October 3, 2002, the Division issued a Conference Report affirming the increase of McKesson-Water's 1999 CBT liability. A Final Determination affirming the Division's denial of the $799,008 refund claim was rendered on October 9, 2002.
The matter next came before the Tax Court. Acting on the parties' cross-motions for summary judgment, Judge Kuskin rendered an opinion from the bench granting summary judgment in favor of McKesson-Water and denying the Division's summary judgment motion. The oral decision was later memorialized in the published opinion under review here.
The Tax Court began its analysis by noting that elections to treat the sale of stock as an asset sale are recognized pursuant to I.R.C. § 338(h)(10) for purposes of the New Jersey CBT under N.J.A.C. 18:7-5.8. McKesson, supra, 23 N.J. Tax at 452. The Tax Court framed the question thusly: can McKesson-Water allocate its gain from its deemed assets sale to New Jersey for CBT purposes? Ibid.
After a detailed discussion and review of the legislative history and public policy implications of N.J.S.A. 54:10A-6.1a, the court determined that McKesson-Water's deemed asset sale and liquidation did not constitute "operational income" as defined in N.J.S.A. 54:10A-6.1a. Consequently, the gain derived was "not allocable to New Jersey and must be assigned to California, the location of [McKesson-Water's] principal place of business." Id. at 465.
N.J.S.A. 54:10A-6.1a defines the terms "operational income" and by way of exclusion, "nonoperational income," as follows:
"Operational income" subject to allocation to New Jersey means income from tangible and intangible property if the acquisition, management, and disposition of the property constitute integral parts of the taxpayer's regular trade or business operations and includes investment income serving an operational function. Income that a taxpayer demonstrates with clear and convincing evidence is not operational income is classified as nonoperational income, and the nonoperational income of taxpayers is not subject to allocation but shall be specifically assigned; provided, that 100% of the nonoperational income of a taxpayer that has its principal place from which the trade or business of the taxpayer is directed or managed in this State shall be specifically assigned to this State to the extent permitted under the Constitution and statutes of the United States.
Here, the Tax Court noted that the definitions of "operational" and "nonoperational" income "appear to have been derived from the Uniform Division of Income for Tax Purposes Act, 7 U.L.A. 331 (1985 & Supp.1997) ("UDITPA"), adopted (with occasional modifications) in many states, but not in New Jersey." (citations omitted.) McKesson, supra, 23 N.J. Tax at 454. By way of example, the court noted that the UDITPA defined "business income" as
[I]ncome arising from transactions and activity in the regular course of the taxpayer's trade or business and includes income from tangible and intangible property if the acquisition, management, and disposition of the property constitute integral parts of the taxpayer's regular trade or business operations. [Ibid.]
With these similarities between our statute and UDITPA in mind, the Tax Court reviewed cases from sister states that have addressed the distinction between an actual asset sale and a "deemed" asset sale under I.R.C. § 338(h)(10). With the exception of California, the court consistently found that gains derived from deemed asset sales are considered "nonbusiness" income.*fn2 Id. at 457.
With this analysis as backdrop, the Tax Court reached the following conclusion with respect to McKesson-Water's deemed asset sale:
Under the judicial interpretations discussed above, the deemed sale of assets by, and liquidation of, Water Products did not constitute the acquisition, management and disposition of property as an integral part of the taxpayer's regular trade or business operations. The result of the transaction, under the Section 338(h)(10) election made by Parent, as seller, and Danone as buyer, was a cessation of Water Products' business with a complete liquidation and distribution to Parent of the proceeds of the sale of Water Products' assets. This was an extraordinary event in the company's history, resulting in the deemed termination of its operations and existence. The gain resulting from the sale was neither operational income nor investment income serving an operational function because no operational function of Water Products continued after the deemed sale of assets and liquidation, and Parent did not invest the proceeds of the sale in a business similar to that conducted by Water Products. [Id. at 465.]
On appeal, The Director argues that the Tax Court erred when it relied on the UDITPA definitions of "business" and "non-business" income to construe the terms "operational" and "non-operational" income in N.J.S.A. 54:10A-6.1(a), in the context of a § 338(h)(10) sale. As a result, the Director argues that the Tax Court incorrectly found that the income derived by McKesson-Water from its § 338(h)(10) deemed asset sale is not allocable to New Jersey, and not subject to taxation under the CBT.
In response, McKesson-Water argues that based on a plain reading of N.J.S.A. 54:10A-6.1(a), the Tax Court correctly construed the term "operational income" to mean income from property "if the acquisition, management, and disposition of the property constitute integral parts of the taxpayer's regular trade or business operations . . . ." Ibid. (Emphasis added). That is, according to McKesson-Water, and as found by the Tax Court, to constitute "operational income," each of the following activities must be integral parts of the taxpayer's regular trade or business operations: (1) the acquisition of the property; (2) the management of the property; and (3) the disposition of the property.
After the Tax Court issued its opinion in this case, the United States Supreme Court decided Meadwestvaco Corp. v. Illinois Department of Revenue, supra, 553 U.S. ___, 128 S.Ct. 1498, 170 L.Ed. 2d 404 (2008). In Meadwestvaco, the Court reversed the decision of the appellate court of Illinois that the income derived by Mead from the sale of its Lexis division was apportionable to Illinois under the unitary business principle. Id. at ___, 128 S.Ct. at 1502, 170 L.Ed. 2d at 409. Here, as part of its summary judgment motion before the Tax Court, McKesson-Water asked the court to decide whether New Jersey was prohibited from taxing the gain from its § 338(h)(10) deemed asset sale under the constitutional unitary business principle. Having found in McKesson-Water's favor on statutory grounds, the Tax Court declined to reach this constitutional question.
The Director argues that a remand is necessary for the Tax Court to consider the argument raised by Water-McKesson concerning the applicability of the unitary business principle. McKesson-Water responds by noting that the unitary business principle was a fall-back argument, raised before the Tax Court only as an alternative basis for the relief McKesson-Water was seeking. Thus, because the Tax Court found in its favor on statutory grounds, the unitary business principle argument is rendered moot.
We agree with McKesson-Water's position on this issue, and therefore deny the Director's request for remand. The unitary business principle is rooted in the constitutional limitations imposed by the Commerce Clause, and the protections afforded under the Due Process Clause of the Constitution. Meadwestvaco, supra, 553 U.S. at ___, 128 S.Ct. at 1505, 170 L.Ed. 2d at 412. These two constitutional provisions "impose distinct but parallel limitations on a State's power to tax out-of-state activities." Ibid. Because the central issue before us here can be thoroughly addressed and resolved on purely statutory grounds, we discern no legal basis to reach the constitutional issues implicated in the unitary business principle. State ex rel. J.A., 195 N.J. 324, 354 (2008).
Returning to the central statutory issue at hand, we are satisfied that that gain derived by the deemed asset sale of McKesson-Water under I.R.C. § 338(h)(10) is not subject to CBT because it does not constitute "operational income" as defined in N.J.S.A. 54:10A-6.1(a). We reach this conclusion substantially for the reasons expressed by Judge Kuskin in McKesson Water Products Co., v. Director, Division of Taxation, supra, 23 N.J. Tax 449 (Tax 2007).

Big data is a problem of two halves: data at rest and data in motion.
More important, says Matt Quinn, Chief Technology Officer of TIBCO, big data needs to focus on operational outcomes. Why? To allow customers to quickly identify the business problem — and the desired outcome – and then devise the right strategy to get them there.
Sounds good – but how do you pull it off? At the Transform 2013 conference in London, Dennis sat down with Matt to find out more.
One of the challenges, Matt explains, is that big data forces companies to think about data as not just something that sits in the database. Machine-generated data and log files can be just as important as the classic database box. Dennis points out that machine data might matter more because, a) there's more of it; and, b) you can do more with it. Matt agrees, adding that it's also easy to access. The trick? Processing it millions of times per second.
The guys talk fraud detection – a prime big data example. Writing a report and running it three weeks later to see how much fraud happened is far less valuable than capturing fraud as it's actually occurring. Correlating data from various event streams can identify those patterns. Action can then be taken, either right then and there, or by predicting when fraud is most likely to happen.
To that end, Matt says that TIBCO relies on a team of data scientists to basically reverse engineer the data gathering process. Once you know what data you have and what you're trying to do, you can then look for the information needed to complete the picture. The next step in big data? Operationalizing it.

Republican-Held House Just Dished a Major Blow to Obamacare
November 6, 2014 2:39pm PST
House Speaker John Boehner said on Thursday that the Republican-held House will be voting to repeal Obamacare. They will also likely pass a slew of bills to carve out some of the Affordable Care Act's most contentious aspects, such as the medical devices tax and the individual mandate. "We need to put them on the president's desk and let him choose," the speaker said.
Boehner also warned that if Obama acts unilaterally on immigration, he will ruin any chances that Congress might work with him over the next two years. "He's going to burn himself if he continues to go down this path," he said.
Do you think Republicans will be successful at repealing the most detrimental piece of legislation Obama has implemented? Sound off in the comments section.

text: I suck at PhotoShop and Gimp. I can edit photos and do basic stuff, but when it comes to doing anything artistic with them I just can't make it happen. I'm an old school graffiti artist. I am very good with spray paint, any paint really, markers, pencils, pens, but when it comes to any digital art tools I just can't get it going. I don't want to pay for school to learn this stuff because I'm not planning on making a carrier out of it. I do it as a hobby. But I really want to make the switch to digital/Graphic art. I can't do graffiti anymore because if I get caught again it's not going to be good and I don't have a wall in my house I get just go to work on. I also don't have room for a good canvas setup, so I'm left with a sketchbook, markers and pencils. I want to do more then paper stuff but I don't have a good outlet anymore. I'm thinking a graphics tablet and the right software would do the trick. Anybody know of a good (cheap) tablet with software even a complete noob like myself can figure out?

Annick ReviewerA Temporary Governess is about Aristocrates, about their way of life, with or without scrupules. Blaise Kilgallen has written a sweet love story, with lots of passion in it. Passion, love, seduction and betrayal. The author writes in a way that is, for me, difficult to describe but special and very good. While I was reading this book, I was thinking of Jane Austen; Blaise Kilgallen has the same heart-touching, beautiful way of writing. If you love romance, then you will adore this book!Rating, 4

Editorial Reviews
Jane BowersA TEMPORARY GOVERNESS begins in London in Georgianna's bed and that is just the first of its explicit sex scenes. It is, indeed, a wicked Regency. Take out those scenes and what's left is an enjoyable traditional Regency romance with a spunky, likable heroine who gives loving attention to a neglected little girl and hero who has everything but happiness. I debated whether A TEMPORARY GOVERNESS's review might better belong at RRT's sister site, RRTErotic.

I know I am probably not going to make any friends by writing this, but I think the recent proposal to form or restructure existing high schools around sports, thus making a school geared strictly for athletes, is a bad idea headed for disaster.
The proposed plan would eliminate transfer waivers, the magic tickets that allow athletes to transfer from one school to another without having to sit out a year. Eliminating the need for waivers would allow student-athletes, or should I say athlete-students, to transfer from one school to another at will.
I know kids dont sign four-year contracts with no-trade clauses, but this can certainly open the door for some absolutely absurd wheeling and dealing and nearly destroy all hints of a competitive citywide league in any sport.
Take basketball for instance. As it stands today, there are already a few select schools considered every year to be basketball powers and not just because the schools are located in talent-rich areas. Players are recruited from one school to another every year, students and parents fib as to the reason for the transfer, and the rich program gets richer while the school and coach that dont cheat get screwed.
Thats the nature of the beast as it is now.
The only new wrinkle in this annual tradition is that the Public School Athletic League, which recently went through a thorough overhaul and is actually starting to run like an ordinary city agency (I know, the sarcasm is thick), is actually beginning to enforce some of its rules.
Lincoln High School coach Dwayne Tiny Morton has been suspended from coaching his team, ranked No. 2 in the city for the upcoming PSAL boys varsity playoffs, for allegedly recruiting players and other assorted no-nos. He is not the first coach of a citywide athletic power to be called into question during the past school year and he will likely not be the last, not unless there are changes in the near future.
Whether these allegations are true is only a footnote in this tale of the PSAL and its coaches trying to reform the Board of Education by making sports the dominant reason some students go to school at all.
The funny thing is, they already do. I would wager the majority of the top athletes in the city go to school to play sports and possibly earn that all-important scholarship to a Division I school, where, if they are lucky, they can concentrate solely on athletics some more.
For the very few, a career in pro sports awaits while the others, if they bothered to crack a book during these eight years or so of higher education, are left to focus their pursuits on other things, whatever they may be.
This idea would allow those coaches who currently break the rules by recruiting to try and get star athletes into their schools without the worry of some just cause for it. As it stands now, a transfer student needs a reason, like financial, safety, change of address or a specific academic interest not offered by their zoned school. This proposed rule would simply allow a student to say, I want to play basketball there because my zoned schools team stinks.
Think about the imbalance of power, the ever widening gulf between schools geared toward athletics and schools geared toward academics. Do you think a basketball game between Lincoln and Townsend Harris would be a good thing then? I mean, its not even a competitive game now no offense to the Hawks.
And what about the idea that the city sets up high schools strictly for sports-minded kids, much like Magnet schools are geared toward certain academic pursuits. Imagine your local high school team competing against a school whose only reason for existence in the first place was for kids to play basketball, a school that has all the best players, the best coaches and teaches classes based on sports-related topics. I think not.
In a perfect world there would be no such need for anything like this at all. Kids would never need a safety transfer, coaches would not recruit and all students would go to schools in their own zoned areas. That would be fair and logical.
Actually, thats the way it is supposed to be, the kind of thing the city should be trying to recapture, not further segregating jocks from actual students, narrowing their views of the world even more.
I can say the same of schools that focus on arts, music, science, business or any program that denies a student the full spectrum of opportunity.
I could care less that coaches are up in arms about the PSAL and Board of Ed for what they see as an antiquated system, proposing only that which can benefit themselves in the long run.
Creating sports-only high schools and eliminating the transfer waiver are bad ideas. They will create an imbalance in talent throughout the city, produce even more corruption and, more importantly, take the emphasis off academics even more, if thats possible.
I only hope this idea goes the way of the do-do bird and quickly. Let the PSAL clamp down, punish those that break the rules and try to restore some sanity to the city high school sports landscape because it is spiraling out of control.
