In New Zealand in 2001, a cow was discovered that had a rare gene mutation that causes it to produce skim milk.
Harvey Blatt, 'America's Food' (2008)
Skim Milk is now called Fat Free milk and must contain less than 0.5% butterfat. (The USDA changed milk labeling laws in the late 1990s. Many recipes still call it Skim Milk).
• 1% milk contains 1 to 1.5% butterfat
• 2% milk contains 2 to 2.5% butterfat
• Whole milk contains at least 3.5% butterfat
Skim milk contains more calcium than whole milk.
Most of the calcium in milk is not bound up in the fat globules that are removed when 'skimming' the milk, but rather in the water content of the milk. Removing the part of the milk (the milk fat) with a lower percentage of calcium, increases the relative percentage of calcium in the remaining milk.

Leaking oil from style 50's hemi filter
Well I took the 54 for my third drive and it's leaking oil out of the top bolt on stock 50's oil filter. It has a nylon washer on it but it's compressed, and leaking. So I now have two options.
1 Get new filter parts for the old system. This is the easiest way....
2 Buy an upgrade system for spinon filters, this also requires, opening the oil pan, and dropping one of the mains and oil filter to replace the oil bypass valve. Much more work.
Option one is easier, but keeps the old partial filtering system. Option two gives modern spin on filters, but requires going into the bottom of the engine... So who's had experience with this? Centerline you have a hemi did you do the upgrade? And how hard is it?
Looking for input.

Former Beaverhead Co. treasurer helps get Hamilton office in order
HAMILTON, Mont. - The retired Beaverhead County treasurer, contracted to help Ravalli County get its treasurer's office in order, is three days into her job. Kathy Allard will spend a month helping unravel backlogged reports, deposits and disbursements.
Ravalli County Treasurer Valerie Stamey was placed on administrative leave after months of financial trouble erupted into massive complaints.
Allard is experienced with the software that is sued in both the tax and motor vehicle departments.
Besides helping to get the office caught up, she'll be working with a new staff.
Clerk and recorder and elections supervisor Regina Plettenberg was appointed by commissioners to help guide the troubled office soon after Stamey left.
"We're just looking at how we're currently doing things so that she has an idea of how things are done," said Plettenberg. "She needs that before she can look at the past stuff. We also want her (Allard) to give us feedback to make sure we're doing things as efficiently as possible."
Commissioners approved spending up to $10,000 for Allard's month-long contract. That includes her wages and basic living expenses, like transportation and lodging she will need because she is living away from home."

Ponzi schemer Joseph Greenblatt gets six to 18 years for fraud
* Paramus-based Ponzi schemer gets 6 to 18 years and must repay $23M to investors.
NEW YORK — Joseph Greenblatt, called a "financial predator and a genetic sociopath'' by one of his victims, was sentenced Wednesday to six to 18 years in state prison in exchange for his guilty plea to defrauding dozens of investors out of $31 million in his Paramus-based real estate investment company, Maywood Capital Corp.
He was also ordered to pay more than $23 million in restitution, which represents investments, less money recouped from asset sales in an ongoing bankruptcy court case.
The sentencing in an hourlong hearing in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan brought to an end a criminal prosecution that dragged on for more than five years and 114 court appearances by the admitted swindler.
As part of a plea deal, Greenblatt, 50, admitted his guilt on Oct. 1, so the sentence was already known. However, that didn't lessen the impact of statements from two victims, who said their lives were ruined and that their financial security in retirement was eliminated because of Greenblatt's greed.
Greenblatt, wearing an oversized gray sweat suit, showed no signs of emotion throughout the hearing, even as Assistant District Attorney Michael Kitsis played a tape from one investor and read a letter from another that recounted how they were hurt by Greenblatt.
"He is a financial predator and a genetic sociopath,'' said Stephen Coffey, 71, of Venice, Fla. "He has shown no remorse or regret for the harm he has caused me or others as a result of his schemes. The only one he feels sorry for at this time is himself.''
Once, Greenblatt gave Coffey a check for $30,000 to pay his federal taxes, but later stopped payment on the check, causing Coffey problems with the Internal Revenue Service.
Coffey, who said he is owed $300,000, said his financial and physical health suffered from Greenblatt's actions, which forced him to cancel plans to retire in North Carolina or Tennessee.
"This entire situation has torn a hole in my heart that will never mend,'' he said.
Lyle Maldoon of Nokomis, Fla., had a similar fate, losing a retirement nest egg of nearly $900,000.
"We were planning to use the income from these investments to maintain a normal lifestyle and do some traveling, since we had done no major traveling while raising our family and working very hard over many years,'' Maldoon wrote in a letter read by Kitsis.
"Mr. Greenblatt certainly turned our (and many other senior investors') 'dream years' into a life of mediocrity and endless depression,'' he said.
Greenblatt spoke only briefly, saying in a low, emotionless voice that he was "very sorry'' and that it "wasn't my intent'' to defraud investors. He put some of the blame on concern for his mother, "who was very ill'' at the time.
Greenblatt was arrested in 2007 and indicted on 32 counts of grand larceny and fraud through a Ponzi scheme he organized with Maywood Capital. But the case was put on a back burner while he served prison terms on unrelated charges of swindling investors in an earlier Brooklyn-based company and for defrauding the federal Housing and Urban Development Department dating back to 1995.
He has been in jail since early 2006, most recently on Rikers Island in New York.
While Wednesday's sentencing was the final step in New York, Greenblatt still faces criminal charges in Hackensack. He is accused of bouncing more than 30 checks to investors worth $1.3 million. Those violations involve many of the same victims as in the Manhattan case, so whatever sentence is imposed is likely to be concurrent with the New York term.
Greenblatt is expected to be transferred to New Jersey to face those charges after he is assigned to a prison in New York, a process that could take several weeks.
Before Greenblatt's sentence, two co-defendants who served as attorneys for Maywood Capital — former Elmwood Park Council President Joseph Mongelli and Peter Vogel of Teaneck — pleaded guilty to their roles in the fraud. Because of health problems, Vogel was sentenced to probation, while Mongelli was sentenced in May to six months in jail.

Books Published by Silverfish Review Press
"James Hoch's A Parade of Hands is the work of a very gifted young poet for whom the lyric is both discovery and song. I'm drawn to his grave tones and graceful formal aptitude, in poems alternately hard as "steel piled in a yard" and mysterious as "a handful / of winged insects throbbing against glass." There is real peril here, not just the faux of melodrama one finds in much new poetry; and real experience — of travel, of work, of loves found and lives lost. Each line of these excellent poems is real, worked-over, lucid, revealing, melodic, and true." -- David Baker
James Hoch is a Visiting Assistant Professor at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Before teaching, he worked as a dishwasher, cook, dockworker, foster parent, and social worker. His poems have appeared in The Kenyon Review, The Gettysburg Review, and Poetry Daily. He received a 2002 Individual Artists Fellowship from the PA Council on the Arts.

Or known more famously as "Are We There Yet Syndrome?" I admit to having this affliction, and to not looking forward to extended family car trips. It's a condition passed down from generation to generation. I grew up in the age before deregulated air travel, and the term "road trip" had yet developed its current cultural cachet. The novel "On The Road" was long lost to the beatnik-era. Plus my parents were more of the "Grapes of Wrath" mentality. "Road Trip" just meant a really, really long car ride.

The discovery of gold was important in the history of the United States. Early discovers came here to try to tap into the rich resources of the new land, of which one of the most sought after was gold. Now, gold prospecting is gentler and kinder than it was in the days of old. Now, it is a fun activity that my family loves to enjoy. Many weekends, you will find us in a remote, undisclosed area at a camp with other families, panning the creek for the tiny flecks of precious metal. Active families often have trouble finding something new and different to try with their kids. Gold prospecting appeals to active families. Ideas on planning a fun, family vacation, prospecting gold.

When planning a family vacation, everyone wants to maximize their fun and minimize their cash outlay. Many family vacations involve long road trips, hotels, plane fair, and other expenses. The expenses and time commitment add up and soon the family vacation turns into a strain for Mom and Dad, which can ruin everyone's fun. Couple this with a long trip to the chorus of, "Are We There Yet?" or "99 Glasses of Milk on the Wall," and a long trip grows even longer. Everyone is already frazzled and the "vacation" has only just started. This problem used to plague our family until we discovered a different way to vacation. Discover our ideas for a happy staycation.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewDasha Fedorovich was one of ten children born into a poor Russian family, all of whom joined the Soviet military. Dasha was noted to be particularly talented to the point that Premier Cherdenko himself recognized and she eventually became a vital member of the Soviet intelligence. She is shown to be extremely loyal to the Soviet cause and shows a great respect for Cherdenko specifically, although she has shown behaviour that suggests she is loyal to Cherdenko simply because he is the Premier. General Krukov frequently looked down upon Dasha and her commander and when Krukov was accused of being a traitor she sided with her commander and aided in the destruction of Krukov. Dasha believes that the Soviets are the liberators of the American forces they attack but also seems to show a cruel side, even personally hatching the idea to destroy the Statue of Liberty to try and lower U.S. morale. In Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3: Uprising it is revealed that after the Allied Forces won the war Dasha became the leader of the Soviet Underground and continued to act as an intelligence officer for her commander, attempting to restore the Soviet forces to their former glory.

GAINESVILLE, Fla.--A University of Florida critical care physician today (2/18/99) used a new method to measure cardiac blood flow in intensive care patients, marking a surgical first in North America that is expected to revolutionize critical care.
Until now, standard practice to gauge cardiac output involved insertion of a catheter into the patient's heart. However, Shands at UF patients now are the first to benefit from an FDA-approved method known as the LiDCO system, a minimally invasive hemodynamic monitoring system. This method eliminates the need for a separate catheter, drastically reduces medical risks and costs, and will make this crucial monitoring available to approximately 25 percent of the 6 millionintensive care patients treated annually in the United States.
The 65-year-old South Florida man who received the hemodynamic monitoring as part of his treatment for an esophagealperforation was listed in stable condition Thursday and is expected to recover fully.
"The FDA approved this method in the United States in January and we are the first to implement it," said Dr. James Gallagher, UF chief of critical care medicine. "The old method was too risky and expensive to use on all the patients who could benefit from it, but now we can offer this vital monitoring method to everyone who needs it."
Hemodynamic (blood circulation) monitoring allows the critical care team to use a patient's existing intravenous line, into which specially trained critical care nurses inject a lithium solution. Advanced computer technology measures the blood's lithium level and displays it on a portable computer. The equipment, created by United Kingdom-basedmedical technology company LiDCO Ltd., was developed at St. Thomas' Hospital in London and has been used in the United Kingdom for three years.
"Shands at UF has an international reputation in the use of advanced critical care technology," said Dr. Terry O'Brien, a medical technology specialist and founding director at LiDCO. "We are excited to work with this skilled intensive care team led by Dr. Gallagher." O'Brien was in Gainesville this week to train intensive care nursing staff to use the special equipment.
"Being trained in this method reinforces our commitment as criticalcare nurses to provide care that promotes patient comfort through the use of cutting-edge technology," said Jeannette Benken, a nurse coordinator in Shands at UF surgical intensive care unit.
The most important data for determining heart and circulatory system function include basic hemodynamic variables of blood pressure, blood flow and vascular resistance. These measurements can be made with existing medical technology, but because of its invasive nature, high cost and necessary skill base, its use is restricted to only a small percentage of the critical care patients in whom these measurementswould be useful.
Gallagher, a UF College of Medicine professor of anesthesiologyand surgery, has practiced at Shands HealthCare's teaching hospital for 18 years. He says hemodynamic monitoring with lithium is accurate, fast, relatively simple and avoids the hazards of pulmonary artery catheterization. According to LiDCO, approximately 10 million critical care patients worldwide will benefit from this method, which currently is approved for adults only.
"The good news for patients is that in our European clinical trials,we recorded no apparent side effects," said O'Brien. "Coupled with itsaccessibility and cost effectiveness, this treatment certainly is a medicalbreakthrough for North America."

Tony Fitzpatrick draws on his talents as an actor, dramatist, poet, and visual artist for an elaborate array of work with Poetry magazine and the Poetry Foundation this summer. The Secret Birds, a clutch of fantastic creatures of the artist's own invention, is Fitzpatrick's final show of drawings before leaving Chicago for New Orleans, where he will study ornithology and natural history at the University of New Orleans. The work is interlaced with poetry, ephemera, and his institutional memory of the city itself: "a bird made from bright planets." In a multimedia feature, Fitzpatrick discusses these drawings.

Tony Fitzpatrick was born on the South Side of Chicago, the son of a burial vault salesman. Fitzpatrick was routinely suspended from Catholic School on bad behavior. On those days he would ride along with his father to sales appointments and listen to stories of life and of Chicago. Birds were especially important to Fitzpatrick because, as his grandmother used to say, "For the price of a piece of bread you can hear God sing."

This exhibit showcases the autograph edition of The World Record, featuring poems handwritten by Seamus Heaney, Kay Ryan, and over a hundred others, created for the Saison Poetry Library during Southbank Centre's Poetry Parnassus. One-hundred and twenty-one poems have been recorded in the hand of the poet on sheets of paper containing fibers from the five Olympic continents. Also on view is the desk at which each poem was transcribed, made by British designer Sean Dare and signed by the poets.
Southbank Centre's Poetry Parnassus was a global gathering of poets coinciding with the London 2012 Olympics. In May 2011, Simon Armitage appeared on the BBC to ask for nominations from around the world for poets to take part in the festival. From thousands of submissions, curators Simon Armitage and Anna Selby selected one poet from each of the 204 Olympic countries to invite to Poetry Parnassus and contribute a poem to The World Record, which was published as an English language anthology by Bloodaxe Books.
In the spirit of Poetry Parnassus, a new handmade paper work inspired by the 77 community areas of Chicago will be created by the Poetry Foundation in collaboration with local artists later this year.
All items in this exhibition have been loaned to the Poetry Foundation by the Saison Poetry Library at Southbank Centre, London. The Saison Poetry Library is a major library for modern and contemporary poetry with a collection of over 200,000 items.
Southbank Centre is a world-famous arts center on the South Bank of the Thames.

Excellent 4.4 /5 from 125 reviews
Our room had no hot water. Maintenance never showed up. No refund was given. Very unsatisfactory. Will never stay again. Check out is at 10 which seems early comparatively to all other places.
This was a lovely resort that really was the highlight of our Ireland tour. Gorgeous scenery. Staff was very friendly. Dined at Blue Bull in town and it was delightful.
The view was beautifull and relaxing
Service was poor
My husband and I were celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary in Ireland. We booked a room with a sea view and paid extra for it, but were instead shown into a room with a parking lot view. The front desk clerk acknowledged that we had, in fact, booked a room with a sea view, but there were none available. This really bothered us. We had paid for our room months ago. Shouldn't the hotel know not to give it away? Otherwise, shouldn't the hotel be up-front about it instead of saying nothing in the hopes we wouldn't realize? The clerk offered to move us to an apartment in another building, where we would have the same amenities as in our room plus a sea view from both the bedroom and the living room. We agreed to move, thinking this would be an upgrade. No. The place smelled like nobody had been there in months. The smell was most poignant in the living room area: the only room where there was a (partial) sea view. The bedroom looked into the parking lot. Once in bed, we found two spiders in the ceiling above us. Getting rid of them without soiling our bed was not easy. There were no amenities, despite the clerk's promises that toiletries and robes would be sent over. We were able to bathe because I had packed extra toiletries. The robes arrived when we were out of the room and thrown on the couch in the living room - not folded or hung, thrown. The next day when we checked out we didn't make a scene, but we were crushed. Trust me: we will never return to this property.

Specialist help may do the trick
Reporter: Robbie Simpson
Date online: 30 November 2012
The Latics star writes every week for Chron Sport
BY all accounts, we were dealing with Doncaster's threat fairly well on Tuesday night, only for a quick free-kick to cost us.
I am hoping there will be a big atmosphere for the FA Cup-tie at Boundary Park on Saturday when the teams go up against each other for the second time in five days.
Everyone knows what it would mean to make it through to the next stage — and hopefully land a big tie.
It is all about getting into the hat for that third-round draw.
Last season, a draw at Southend ensured we did just that. Then the draw was made with the winner getting the chance to go to Anfield, which gave us a great incentive for the replay.
After that, the buzz around the club in the build-up to Liverpool was special. Everyone was bright and happy and it was the highlight of our season.
A player who won't be participating in the Doncaster cup-tie is Dean Bouzanis.
I know he will be gutted, but I'm sure he will learn from the mistake that led to him being sent off.
What it shows with Alex Cisak coming straight back from his loan at Portsmouth is what a good job the gaffer did to put the recall clause into that deal.
Hopefully, I will be in a position this week to train before Saturday, so I can be in contention to play.
I have been to visit a specialist in London and the work with him has helped. I am feeling a lot better than I have.
The trick now is to clear the final hurdle, by replicating the movements I would be completing in a game in training.

text: Every Students Succeeds Act (ESSA) April 02, 2011 NCLB Fact Sheet 3: Supplemental Educational Services (SES) Source: Research and Educational Services Download complete bulletin. (pdf) STATUTORY SUMMARY Title 1, Part A, Section 1116 of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 requires school districts to make available supplemental educational services to each child from a low-income family enrolled in a school that does not make adequate yearly progress for three consecutive years. The provision of such services must commence in the fourth year. Supplemental educational services are additional educational opportunities, which are made available to students outside the regular school day from a provider approved by the State Education Department. The parent is responsible for selecting the SES provider. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1. Question: What is the definition of supplemental educational services? Answer: According to Section 1116 (e) (12) supplemental educational services means tutoring and other supplemental academic enrichment services that are in addition to instruction provided during the school day, and are of high quality, research-based, and specifically designed to increase a student's academic achievement on the state's academic assessments and attain proficiency in meeting the state's learning standards. 2. Question: Which schools must provide supplemental educational services? Answer: Title I schools and charter schools that are in there second year of school improvement (i.e., have not made AYP for three or more years), in corrective action or in restructuring, must provide supplemental educational services. Schools must continue offering SES to eligible students until the schools are no longer identified for school improvement, corrective action, or restructuring (i.e. schools have made adequate yearly progress for two consecutive years). Where public school choice is not possible, school districts may offer SES during the first year of school improvement. 3. Question: What is the definition of a "provider"? Answer: A provider of supplemental educational services means a non-profit or for-profit agency or a school district that (1) has a demonstrated record of effectiveness in increasing student academic achievement; (2) is capable of providing supplemental educational services that are consistent with the instructional program of the local educational agency and the state's academic standards; and (3) is financially sound. Public schools (including Charter schools), private schools, institutions of higher education, faith based and community based organizations, and private businesses are among the types of entities that may apply for approval by the State Education Department. 4. Question: Is the school district required to notify parents about the availability of supplemental educational services? Answer: Yes. Each school district must notify parents annually that their children are eligible for supplemental educational services. The notification must be understandable and, where practicable, in the parent's language. The notice must tell parents of their children's eligibility, provide a list of approved providers within the district or reasonably available in neighboring districts, and a brief description of the services, qualifications and demonstrated effectiveness of such providers. A school district may establish a reasonable deadline by which parents must request services or allow a rolling enrollment for services. 5. Question: Who selects the approved provider for supplemental educational services? Answer: Upon notification of their child's eligibility, the parent selects a provider from an approved list of providers. If there is not enough money to provide services to each low-income child whose parents request the services, the district must give priority to the lowest-achieving children. If there are not enough spaces at approved providers, the district must set up fair and equitable procedures for serving students. Districts must help parents select a supplemental educational service provider, if the parents request such assistance. 6. Question: What happens once a parent selects a supplemental service provider for his or her child? Answer: The school district must develop, in consultation with the parents and the provider, an agreement that includes a statement of specific achievement goals for the student, how the student's progress will be measured, and a timetable for improving achievement. In the case of a student with a disability, the agreement must be consistent with the student's IEP. However, these services are in addition to, and not a substitute for, the instruction and services required under IDEA and Section 504 and should not be written into IEPs or 504 plans. The agreement must also describe how the parents and teachers of the student will be regularly informed on the student's progress, provide for the termination of the agreement if the provider cannot meet the goals and timetables, and contain provisions on how the district will pay the provider. School districts and providers may not disclose to the public the identity of any student eligible for receiving supplemental services without the written permission of the parent of the student. 7. Question: How much money is the district required to spend on supplemental educational services? Answer: Unless a lesser amount is needed to meet demand for choice-related transportation and to satisfy all requests for SES, a school district must spend up to 20 percent of its Title I, Part A funds on choice-related transportation; SES, or a combination of both. A school district must use 5 percent of Title I funds to pay/or supplemental services. A school district that does not incur any choice-related transportation costs, could use the full 20 percent of Title I funds to pay for SES if there is sufficient demand for such services. In circumstances where more students request services than the school district can fund, the school district must place a priority on serving those low-income students who are the lowest achieving. School districts are not required to provide or pay for transportation for students receiving supplemental educational services. 8. Question: Are there any circumstances under which a school district would not be required to provide supplemental educational services? Answer: A state may waive the requirement of supplemental educational services, if the district can demonstrate that there are not sufficient providers within a reasonable distance of the school district and if the school provides evidence that it is not able to provide those services. 9. Question: What are the criteria for providers of Supplemental Educational Services? Answer: Each state education department must develop and maintain an updated list of providers. In order to be included on the state list a provider must agree to carry out the following: Provide parents of children receiving supplemental educational services and the school district with information on the progress of the children in increasing achievement in a format, and to the extent practicable, a language that a parent can understand. Ensure that instruction provided and content used by the provider is consistent with the instruction and content of the school district and state, and are aligned with the state's academic achievement standards in the areas of English language arts (including reading and mathematics). Meet all applicable federal, state and local health, safety and civil right laws. Ensure that all instruction and content are secular, neutral and non-ideological. Proof of adequate insurance for liability, property loss and personal injury involving students receiving supplemental educational services. Prohibit the use of financial rewards or incentives to solicit enrollment, encourage parents to stitch providers, or attempt to influence parents, students, local educational agencies, or school staff. Nominal rewards or incentives may be offered to students that: 1. Do not exceed a total value of $25 per student per year; 2. Are directly linked to documented meaningful attendance benchmarks and/or completion of assessment and program objectives; and 3. Are approved by the Commissioner as part of the provider's instructional program. In addition, each state education department must define how it will monitor the quality and effectiveness of the supplemental services offered by providers. If a provider fails to contribute to increasing the academic achievement of those students it serves, for two consecutive years, the state must remove the provider from the state list of eligible providers. The list of approved SES providers is available at http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/nclb/ses/ApprovedProviders/AlphaList.html 10. Question: Are supplemental educational service providers required to meet the teacher quality requirements of Section 1119 of NCLB? Answer. No. However, Section 120.4 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education requires that SES providers assure that instruction will be provided under the general supervision of a New York State certified teacher. AFT and NYSUT continue to advocate for changes in NCLB requiring SES providers to be certified in the area in which they provide instruction. ADVICE TO LOCAL LEADERS 1. Urge local administrators to actively promote the school district as a bold, innovative supplemental educational service provider. 2. Urge local school districts to develop clearly defined agreements between the school district and approved providers, especially in relation to how the student's teacher(s) will be regularly informed of the student's progress. 3. Examine the potential impact on teacher time resulting from coordination with SES providers. 4. Monitor the effectiveness of private supplemental educational service providers. 5. Work with local school district personnel to identify student needs that may be addressed through the provision of supplemental educational services. 6. Check the NYSUT web site for additional information. 37951 Updated 3/11 3/11 - This fact sheet reflects the lastest available information and may be subject to change. Download complete bulletin.

Gay couple says church did not want to sell mansion to them
NORTHBRIDGE (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) – A gay couple says they tried to purchase a Northbridge mansion owned by the Diocese of Worcester, but later notified via e-mail that the diocese had decided to pursue "other plans" for the property.
According to the Worcester Telegram and Gazette, James Fairbanks and Alain Beret put in an offer for $1 million for the 44-bedroom home and the Diocese of Worcester accepted it.
The couple wanted to turn the run-down estate into a banquet facility. So in May, the couple signed an offer to purchase the home, made a deposit and paid for a home inspection.
Then in June, the couple was notified that a $240,000 sprinkler system would have to be installed. The diocese's broker suggested the men make a smaller counteroffer for the home and some of the land, rather than the full 24 acres. The men made a revised offer of $550,000 for the mansion and six acres.
But the next day, the couple received an e-mail from the diocese's broker, saying the diocese decided to pursue "other plans" for the property. Beret, who is an attorney, was shocked and said he never thought the diocese would walk away from the deal.
Monsignor Thomas Sullivan oversees the sale of diocesan property. He told the newspaper the deal fell through due to financing. However, when the couple received an e-mail rejecting the counteroffer, an e-mail from Msgr. Sullivan to the diocesan broker was also attached.
"I just went down the hall and discussed it with the bishop," Msgr. Sullivan wrote. "Because of the potentiality of gay marriages there, something you shared with us yesterday, we are not interested in going forward with these buyers. I think they're shaky anyway. So, just tell them that we will not accept their revised plan and the Diocese is making new plans for the property. You find the language."
The couple's attorney, Sergio Carvajal, says state law prohibits discriminating against buyers based on sexual orientation.

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
Biological children taken from adoptive family 2 1/2 years ago from children services, massachusetts. the same children services who threatened me into giving them up in 1999 for open adoption all because the worker did not like me because i had a girlfriend at the time. The worker said i could not stay in a stable relationship. the worker said eaither you agree to open adoption or i will make sure you never see them again and will go for a closed. well i love my girls with all my heart so i went for open even though i did not want to. but we all know the courts listen to what children services says and not the parents. ok so i am the biological mom and i just got full guardianship back of my 16 year old daughter and now i go in 2 weeks to get full guardinship of my 13 year old daughter who is living with a friends parents in mass.. I am now married living in wisconsin. Can the adoption be over turned for wrongful adoption and my parental right reinstated? they refuse to pay child support or take names off birth papers so I can get help? children services said they will never get the girls back and should have never been aloud to adopt them in the first place.
It wasn't wrongful. You agreed to it and the court record will reflect that.
The proper avenue here would be for you to adopt them, thereby establishing the parent-child relationship.
You agreed to the adoption. Your only option at this point is to adopt them yourself.
Ok next question, do I have to go to the state the adoptive parents live in to adopt my girls?
Since I will have full guardinship of them, but I recieved this guardinship in Massachusetts and live in Wisconsin.
Probably - I would suggest contacting an adoption lawyer in the state that has jurisdictionover the children.
Likely have to file in the state that took custody. If you have only guardianship and they've been removed from the custody of the adoptive parents, it sounds like their state has custody.
I was appointed Permanent Guardian by the state od Massachusetts. The deparment of childrens service had custody but gave me permanent guardianship in court. The paper says I was hereby apponited guardian of said child, without surety on his or her bond, and with custody. I would think If i have permanent guardianship I could apply for adoption in my state?
You would be wrong.
So I would have to apply for the adoption in the state the adoptive parents are in because they have the right to be there or is it because I have to apply to have there rights terminated?
Because that is the state that has jurisdiction over the children.

The Alchemy of Art A conversation with Götz Valien
Götz Valien welcomed me in his studio for an interview on the subject of "Paris Bar." The quote marks are excerpts of his answers.
Rooms with large windows, a group of painters in front of their blank canvases are waiting for an idea. An idea that does not come from pure inspiration, inspiration comes from others; they only provide the mechanical work and their hands. In art history, behind many artists has been a hired painter, shut up in a small room filled with canvases, paint and dust. For instance, this practice was very common in classical art. Artists such as Goya, Rembrandt, Raphael, and Dürer had some pieces ascribed to them that were not actually the result of their work, as specialists later discovered. Their style was imitated, but upon closer inspection slight differences can be appreciated. These paintings are not even signed or signed by the same custom painters, nor by painters that collaborated with these artists in their academies. Recall, for example, Colossus of Goya. In 2008, it was discovered that the composition contained the initials A.J. Why sign a painting? Because in fact, its authorship was not really important, what mattered was who had commissioned that work: the teacher, the renowned artist, who provided the idea. This practice did not die with the great masters of yore; custom paintings are still very common in our contemporary world. The difference is that in classical art they were young people who wanted to learn how to paint and the technique, while nowadays they are also artists. Most of them have studied in art academies and are, often times, even better than the famous artists that commission a painting because they cannot paint them themselves.
The story that follows this introduction begins in Berlin and ends in London in the auction house called Christies. It all began in 1991 in a studio in Berlin where the artist Götz Valien, who calls himself a creator of images, had to make a painting for the artist Martin Kippenberger, who calls himself an artist. Kippenberger was faithful to the German neo-expressionist style, which acquired the name of Neue Wilde. He died in 1997.
I never saw him, Ive never spoken to him said Götz Valien. Kippenberger wanted to make a big painting showing how Paris Bar was like at that time, a landmark of Berlin in a time where one could breathe life and debauchery in that kind of atmosphere. On one of the walls of the bar hung several paintings by artists from the same period as Kippenberger. One day all those paintings would be taken down and they wanted that moment to live on through more than simple memories. Paris Bar is 212 x 382 cm and shows that one wall with all the paintings. He couldnt make it, then Kippenberger decided to find somebody who would do it. I said to myself that the price was ridiculous and the work too much, but I knew who Kippenberger was. I will do it.
Götz Valien painted two versions of Paris Bar for Kippenberger. For the first one, he won DM 1000 and for the second one a little more. The latter remains in the Pompideu Museum. Kippenberger made, devised or commissioned this painting for the sole purpose of getting free food and drink for the rest of his life in Paris Bar.
After the death of Kippenberger in 1997, the painting remained hung in the bar but the owner, Michel Würthle, had to sell it in 2005 because he found himself having economic problems. He sold it for EUR 700 000 to the Berlin gallerist Volker Diehl, who cleaned it, restored it and then sold it to Charles Saatchi. Saatchi, one of the most important European collectors gave it to the Auction House Christies in London. In 2009, the painting was auctioned to an American collector for 2.5 million Euros.
What determines the different prices that can be given to an art work? On the one hand, it could be said that time plays a significant role, but on the other hand the artist is also important. Furthermore, we can also add a third factor that can increase the price: the circumstances surrounding the artist. There is no doubt that Kippenberger was a real artist surrounded by the excesses of the era; the aroma of alcohol and rolling tobacco. In this way, they obtained that Paris Bar, which at first moment cost DM 1000 (500 Euros), seventeen years later was sold at London auction house for 2.5 million Euros. I discovered it before, because they made an advertisement in the magazine (MONOPOL, Fall 2009). It was just an advertisement, where you could read that Paris Bar would be up for auction. In Christies ad there wasnt nothing about me, about that I had painted it. But I know that it was known before.
This is how contemporary art works. The thread that unites the work of art with the artist is often so thin, that it becomes difficult to tell who it really belongs to. It was so embarrassing for them, because there are many specialists, and all that was written there was wrong. It was not painted on 1991, it was on 1992. It is not oil on cotton, it was color of house paint. And, obviously it was not totally Kippenbergers. So it was their fault. The false attributions are par for the course: paintings of dubious origin are sold in auction houses, where it is assumed that a group of analysts and specialists has worked to secure and authenticate the works. But after some platitudes there is no doubt that thoughts arise about the art market operating like a mafia.
The commissioned art is configured as a default deception, an open secret that the auction houses ignore. After this incident, more transparency has been requested from Christies in particular and auction houses in general. When people asked Christies for the authorship of the painting, at first they said that Kippenberger had commissioned another artist to do the painting. Sometime later, Alexandra Kindermann, press representative, confirmed that it was entirely a work of Kippenberger. Another worker at the auction house issued a statement, which again questioned the origin of the painting, implying that despite efforts could not say with 100% certainty that the painting belonged to Kippenberger. Finally, Andreas Rumbler, international director of Christies settled the issue by saying that whether the picture had been painted by him or not was not important. For the collector in the USA, the authorship is not important either. Im a bit skeptical with that entire story, I can believe, but I think the collector must have known about the painting. The conclusion of it all is that the important thing was to get the money they expected from it, or even more. It was the record of Kippenberger, and for that the auction house preferred to obscure the truth.
This is how contemporary art works. Since Duchamp turned a urinal over and decided to call it spring, contemporary art rose with conceptual ideas, leaving all craftsmanship in the background. The artist stands with concepts and ideas, and that is what prevails, manual labor is in the background, also raw artistic vocation you have. Martin Kippenberger was a known German artist in Berlin scene of the 80s and he had a ghost painter, or in words of Valien, a worker. But that did not matter, in words of Kippenberger It is the idea that counts. Painting means having an idea, of course, but it also has to be realized. For me, the idea alone means nothing. Maybe the artists in the future will be just managers who have an idea, and they will have a lot of people to realize it. I think why are these people even going to an academy, if as I see it, we are more like workers.
After you get involved in this story, you can realize about what marks the difference between the artist and painter. Face and hands. Kippenberger and Götz Valien. People prefer to have an idea, and think that some idiot will do it for them. Therefore it was a mistake to do it, because Im not a worker. No, he is not a worker, he is an artist. Valiens compositions show a world that can only exist inside our minds with a purely and clean technical. He is a wizard, who can make real that which exists only in our imagination or in our personal universe. After that entire Kippenberger story I have to say, I dont know what makes an artist. For me it is the alchemy of idea and making it. I know what I make. The process of the construction, of the meditation about the frame takes also long time and it is good to have the painting layers and materials to build up a picture like this. If I just take a brush and I make a line in a canvas, it is not the same. I cant transform what is in my mind from nowhere to something without painting it.
One of the last questions I asked to him, it was if he would paint the Paris Bar again. He took a long drag out of his cigarette, and he replied, maybe, but this time it would be for him, and it would remain hanging in his study.

Automation of Withholding Information Notices (WINs)
Purpose of Bulletin
To inform staff beginning January 17, 2013, the Withhold at Source and Compliance Section (WSCS) will automate Withholding Information Notices (WINs).
WSCS administers the nonwage withholding program, which includes real estate, resident, nonresident, and backup withholding.
On August 29, 2011, WSCS implemented the new automated Withhold at Source System (WASS) to process withholding forms and payments. WASS is a comprehensive system that interfaces with TI and BETS.
Beginning January 17, 2013, WSCS will send WINs to taxpayers that submit FTB Forms 592, 592F, or 593, resulting in a discrepancy. The WINs will include a description of the discrepancy.
If the discrepancy results in an overpayment, the taxpayer should follow the instructions on the WIN to resolve it.
If the discrepancy results in a balance due, we will mail a separate bill. Individual taxpayers and estates and trusts will receive a Statement of Tax Due (STD). Business entities will receive a Notice of Tax Due (NTD). The taxpayer should follow the instructions on the STD or NTD to make a payment.
Taxpayer Inquiries
For more information about WINs, go to ftb.ca.gov, and search for processing changes to withholding forms and payments.
Taxpayers can call us at 888.792.4900 or 916.845.4900 (if outside the United States), weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., except holidays.

Haha. Tell me about it. The Mavs fans we have on here can be huge homers, I know. Hopefully the Lakers can make a statement and let them know they still have a ways away.
Thanks bro. It really was great to see my guys stand up to those punks and send a message in game 1. Game 2 will very physical and intense. Can't wait!
Hey Ironth! Sorry to bother just wanted to know what you think of my sig, I came up with the quote on it but my man KnicksR4real made for me, haah I came up with the quote a while back but I was greedy and didnt want to share till now
For sure bro!! Lets get that three-peat!
alrite Ironth I kinda made one for you...just made more sig like hopefully you rock this one for a longer period of time bro!!
Hope you like it bro! Enjoy I think you should center this one!
Yeaht thats the one!!! haha yeah man for sure i saw i was like thats perfect for ironth24. Sorry i was sleeping when u messaged me back bro.
Hey ironth I think I found a perfect either avatar or sig for you after the playoffs, lol. Not sure If you've seen it but its a cartoon by marvel and it's kobe inside iron mans suit but its opening on him or closing can't tell. Not sure if your interested. Let me know bro!
I want a good game tommorow. I know Kobe remembers Christmas day, so I expect him impose his will throughout the game. L.A. tends to bring the best out of LeBron and Wade as well, so they'll play well while Bosh is more of a wild card. Bosh will have to play well if the Heat hope to keep the points in the paint disparity close. I'm sure lookin forward to it.
He. At the rate we're going, we're going to need the luck.

text: I have a new TiVo premiere XL that I just connected but during the move a addition of the new TiVo I have lost the ability to do MVR. Here is what happened. 1) I initially wanted to use the old TiVo Premiere in the bedroom with just an OTA signal so I took the cablecard and tuning adapter and installed them in the new Premiere XL. 2) All looked good and I could browse the now playing list on the old TiVo on the New TiVo. 3) I decided I didn't like the old TiVo without the cablecard and so I got a CableCard and tuning adapter and installed them. 4) At some point before I realized that MVR wasn't working I changed both TiVo names. Later I changed them back because I thought that might be the problem. 5) I set up a TiVo Mini - that worked and still works 6) at some point after 5 I saw that MVR wasn't working on either TiVo - both boxes showed the other TiVo grayed out with an explanation point 7) I tried resets, reboots with no success. I then selected the option "I no longer have this TiVo" thinking that when it reappeared on the network it might trigger a new connection. - This may have been a big mistake, since then neither shows the other TiVo since. Checked ports, reset the router, and even reset the TiVo XL to 'clear and delete everything" since I had nothing to lose (the other TiVo has a lot of recordings so I can't do that without losing a lot of shows) 8) TiVo.com support said to force a new network connection and restart each TiVo - no joy 9) TiVo.com again went through a bunch of resets, changing settings etc... with no change. 10) Last option from TiVo.com was that the MoCA bridge was somehow keeping the TiVo's from seeing each other. Both TiVo's can connect to the network (vis MoCA connections), I can use kmttg and pytivo with no problem, the TiVo Mini works. Long post, but I'd appreciate some help as Tivo.com has given up

Scott Parker believes Gareth Bale's stunning last-minute winner at West Ham will have sapped Arsenal's morale ahead of Sunday's derby.
Bale maintained his remarkable run of form with two more goals, taking his tally to nine in seven games for club and country, in Tottenham's 3-2 victory at Upton Park last night. The 30-yard strike (above) in the closing seconds lifted Spurs to third in the table and extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to 11 matches.
Andre Villas-Boas's team will move seven points clear of Arsenal if they prevail at White Hart Lane and Parker reckons Bale's latest performance has already put the Gunners on the back foot.
"It's deflating," the Spurs midfielder said. "I've been in that position when you're playing and you're watching the scores come in and you hear there's been a last-minute goal in a game that's important for your side.
"You're praying it's gone the way you wanted it to and then you hear it's a goal for the team you didn't want to score. So it is deflating for a player watching, and I'm sure the Arsenal players are like that.
"Gareth is a world-class player and at the moment he is scoring last-minute goals that are winning games for us. He was fantastic at West Ham and he's stepped up again to get us the three points."
Bale gave Tottenham the lead in the 13th minute but Andy Carroll's penalty brought West Ham level before half-time. Joe Cole then put the home side in front but, despite a number of superb saves from Hammers goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen, Spurs fought back thanks to late goals from substitute Gylfi Sigurdsson and Bale.
Five of Tottenham's next seven league fixtures are against Arsenal, Liverpool, Everton, Chelsea and Manchester City, all of whom are rivals for a top-four finish. Yet their form is so solid — they have not lost in the league since December 9 — that Villas-Boas has not ruled out finishing second.
Manchester City currently have a five-point advantage but the head coach told Sky Sports: "We know the distance is not very big to second place and we have to continue to be confident. We face Arsenal on Sunday and it's a big opportunity to build a distance to them.
"Everton are nine points behind now, Arsenal four and maybe we're in grabbing distance of City. Our priority is to establish our position and, hopefully, get a more comfortable distance to Chelsea and Arsenal next week."
Tottenham were 10 points clear of Arsenal before they lost 5-2 at Emirates Stadium and Arsene Wenger's side ultimately overhauled them for third place, which cost Spurs a Champions League spot.
That experience is driving the current squad and Parker believes Arsenal would be desperate to have a number of Spurs players in their team.
"We've got players in our squad that Arsenal would want any day of the week," the 32-year-old said. "Arsenal are still a top club and a top team but we've narrowed the gap. You can never say anything for certain but a win in that game would put us in a good position.
"What happened last year is a focus and something we're aware of. We've worked really hard to get into this position and we can't afford to fall off now.
"Arsenal will be thinking that if they can beat us the gap will be only one point, so it is going to be tight. The race for fourth place isn't over but we fully deserved the win last night; their goalkeeper had a world-class game."
