Attack fears cloud Christmas for Baghdad Christians
By Waleed Ibrahim
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Normally on Christmas Eve, Ban Zaki puts on festive clothes and takes her family to Baghdad's Our Lady of Salvation church for lively holiday celebrations.
Not this year.
Dressed in black and fighting back tears, she has brought her three children to the church to honour her late husband, who was killed along with 51 others when Iraqi forces stormed it after militants took hostages during Sunday mass on Oct 31.
"He died on this spot," 49-year-old Zaki said, pointing to the marble floor of the Catholic church.
"This year, there will be no festivities, no celebrations. The images of the attack and how they killed my husband here in this place are still in front of my eyes. Those were four hours I won't forget for the rest of my life," she said.
The attack triggered a fresh exodus of Christians from some Iraqi cities amid renewed fears that Sunni Islamist militants were trying to drive Christians out of their homeland.
The U.N. refugee agency said last week that some 1,000 Christian families, roughly 6,000 people, had fled to Iraqi Kurdistan from Baghdad, Mosul and other areas.
Iraq's Christians once numbered about 1.5 million. There are now believed to be about 850,000 out of a population estimated at 30 million. Continued...

A very rare item from our collection. Converted from a silent 16 mm film, with titles.
British production with some of the earliest moving pictures from the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, newly renamed by King Alexander I in 1929.
Apart from the Adriatic coast, Bosnia and Montenegro, this film includes some unique images from Serbia - a Serbian Slava, Kalemegdan, the brand new Royal Palace.
A title for Belgrade reads: 'Rebuilt after complete destruction in the Great War, seems to reflect the history of Yugoslavia, one of invasion-defeat-victory and regeneration.'
In the mid-1920s the prominent German photographer Kurt Hielscher was invited by the government in Belgrade to travel to Yugoslavia and create a book with images of the state, founded only a few years earlier. Kurt Hielscher had already published similar and very successful books about Italy, Spain and Germany, so he took up the invitation with enthusiasm.
In Belgrade he got an interpreter, letters of introduction to all local authorities and cars were at his disposal. Hielscher gratefully acknowledges all help in this endeavour. He also thanks the Zeiss-Ikon and Agfa factories for their outstanding cameras, lenses and photo plates.
The journey - from the Alps to Novo Mesto towards Bulgaria - produced 1200 photographs, from which he chose 191. In Hielscher's words, those were the few "which would try to show the attractive, diverse character of the landscape, the architecture, and way of life of the Yugoslavs... I didn't want to create a collection of postcards".
The result is a stunning and often moving collection, published in a book in 1926 in Berlin by Ernst Wassmuth AG.
On Agfa Chromo Isorapid plates.
Communist Yugoslavia was a major tourist destination for tourists from Western Europe and the US. Here is an extract from amateur footage shot by a British family from the North of England visiting the Adriatic coast in 1960.

U bivšoj Jugoslaviji 1978 godine
This Kodachrome film is just a beautiful and non-political piece of history. More on the seemingly still open question whether Yugoslavia was a Communist society despite its relatively open borders, was it dogmatic...did it ever try do deal with events of the recent past, like Bleiburg or the fate of its ethnic Germans, Istria, is available on:
Dozens of young soldiers were clinging to the armour, clutching assault rifles, singing victory songs, and waving the green star and crescent flag of the seventh Muslim brigade. They had captured the tank from the Croats and were celebrating...

The seasoned British journalist Malcolm Brabant spent years covering the Bosnian war for the BBC, often at his own peril, including from the besieged Sarajevo. Here are some of his photos and observations from that time.
I met Fika Hadzovic in a Sarajevo hospital just before Christmas 1992. She had her legs blown off at the knee during a Serb mortar attack. Her stumps were encased in the type of string vests used by supermarkets to wrap a side of beef. "Take a sexy picture," she said. Her beauty and courage shines through in this photograph. Her lack of self pity was profoundly inspiring. Fika left Sarajevo for France in the winter of 1992 and was granted refugee status.
The refugees were half a mile away. One was wearing a white blouse that fluttered like a flag of surrender against the distant greenery of the mountain. Framed by majestic surroundings, they were insignificantly small and could have been dismissed as just a passing glance. Yet there was something insistent and compelling about one of the women. They were walking slowly down a railway track. There was no chance of being mown down. The trains hadn't run for months. Weeds spouted from either side of rusty rails. The women rounded the bend and came into focus. The one in white was a grandmother. The other was her daughter whose two children skipped alongside. The mother's head was encased in a colourful scarf, her legs in pink trousers. Two giant, bloated hessian sacks and a bedroll were strapped to her back. She carried a red bucket for washing clothes. She was tall and thin as a nail. But she was bent at ninety degrees, like a nail that had been mishit.
The woman welcomed the chance to rest a while and talk. She did not stand up straight but remained bowed at an angle of ninety degrees. She looked fixed in the position, not so much by the weight of her load, but by the journey. The refugee looked as old as her mother, yet she was not much more than thirty. They had been walking for a year. Walking away from the hammer of war. Every time they escaped a front line and thought they could rest, another offensive threatened the family and they resumed the long march.
Her name is gone and I lost the tape a long time ago. But I have kept her picture. Whenever I try to summon up the faces of Bosnia, hers always appears, burnished red from the elements and peering up at me from a painful angle.
She was pictured near Kiseljak in Central Bosnia in 1993 after having been on the move for a year.
Borislav Herak, aged 22, had one of the most evil faces I ever encountered at close quarters. He also has to have been one of the most stupid war criminals in history. He and his hapless sidekick Sreten Damjanovic, took a wrong turning while in Bosnian Serb territory and drove into Sarajevo where they were captured at a Bosniak checkpoint. When I interviewed him with my translator Dina Hamzic at a jail in Sarajevo, he admitted raping and murdering at least a dozen Bosnian women. His confession validated claims at the time that rape was part of a Serb policy of ethnic cleansing. At the time Herak insisted he was telling the truth and was not acting under duress.
I was struck by his coldness and absence of remorse. At his trial he was sentenced to death by firing squad. Herak recanted his testimony in January 1996, claiming that his testimony before the Bosnian court was beaten out of him. His sentence was later reduced to twenty years imprisonment.
Herak and his co-defendant in court with a Bosnian policeman on the left.
A rare Kodachrome film for Pan Am Airways, 1964.
Yugoslavia was the only Communist-controlled country in today's Eastern Europe Pan Am flew to during the Cold War – showing how important the country was at that time.
A cultural icon of the XX Century, Pan American World Airways, or Pan Am, was the largest international air carrier in the US from 1927 until its collapse its 1991.
Pan-Am is remembered by many for its routes to divided Berlin - Tempelhof and Tegel.
Did you fly on Pan Am to Yugoslavia or West Berlin? Did you visit Yugoslavia's Adriatic coast, or perhaps Ohrid?

These pictures were taken right at the end of the Bosnian War. The UN peacekeepers from Ukraine were preparing to return home to their newly independent country. During the war they provided vital services to keep Sarajevo going - here we see the damage to the city through their eyes. A flying visit also to Vukovar on the Danube, where the war for Yugoslavia's succession started in 1991.

When the Bosnian War started in 1992 among the first international troops to arrive were the blue helmets from Ukraine. The soldiers provided vital help in and around Sarajevo - from bread and water to fuel. They brought with them their own worries from a newly independent country, perhaps they had an insight into this conflict like nobody else? The Ukrainian photographer Oleksandr Klymenko documented their mission.
Do you remember the Ukrainian soldiers in Bosnia?

Yes you are missing something, namely that the root you
get depends on your initial guess. With your initial value of
x = 0, Mathematica tries to converge on the "root" at x -> -Infinity.
(which also satisfies your equation). You can get the other root by
telling Mathematica to start at some x > 0 eg {x,0.5}

Notes | Photo Gallery
Date: March 27, 2010
Site: Columbus, Ohio (St. John Arena)
Outcome: 1st of 7 teams, 196.900
Records: No. 9 U-M (19-3, 10-1 Big Ten), No. 17 Penn State (17-9, 8-3 Big Ten), Iowa (11-13, 5-8 Big Ten), No. 25 Michigan State (15-9, 6-6 Big Ten), Minnesota (7-16, 4-8 Big Ten), No. 13 Illinois (13-12, 7-7 Big Ten), Ohio State (4-13, 1-9 Big Ten)
Attendance: 1,717
Next U-M Event: Saturday, April 10 -- at NCAA Regional Championships (TBD)
COLUMBUS, Ohio - The No. 9 University of Michigan women's gymnastics team won its fourth-straight Big Ten Championship and the program's 17th title in 19 years Saturday (March 27) at the Big Ten Championships, setting a season-high score in the process (196.900).
The Wolverines never trailed in the meet, holding a slight edge over No. 17 Penn State in the final rotation before sealing the championship victory with the program's fifth-best balance beam score (49.450). Michigan staked its claim with back-to-back 9.900s on beam from senior Sarah Curtis (Reno, Nev./Reno) and freshman Katie Zurales (Wheaton, Ill./Wheaton Warrenville South), finishing the rotation with another pair of 9.900s from junior Kylee Botterman (New Lenox, Ill./Lincoln-Way Central) and senior Kelsey Knutson (Ames, Iowa/Ames).
The beam rotation capped a strong overall meet for the Wolverines, who posted the highest event scores on vault (49.125) and beam (49.450). Curtis was the Wolverines' top all-arounder, taking second in the all-around (39.525) and finishing runner-up on three events - vault (9.875), beam (9.900) and floor (9.900). Big Ten Freshman of the Year finalist Natalie Beilstein (Butler, Pa./Knoch) won the vault title with a 9.900, becoming Michigan's 15th athlete to win the honor and the first since Katie Lieberman in 2006.
Big Ten Gymnast of the Year finalist, junior Kylee Botterman (New Lenox, Ill./Lincoln-Way Central) slipped up on bars but managed runner-up finishes on beam (9.900) and floor (9.900) and a third-place finish on vault (9.850).
After the meet, Penn State's Brandi Personett was named Big Ten Gymnast of the Year, while her teammate Sharaya Musser was voted Big Ten Freshman of the Year. Michigan head coach Bev Plocki and Illinois head coach Bob Starkell shared the Big Ten Coach of the Year award. It was the 10th of Plocki's career and the third for Starkell.
Michigan started the meet on a bye, as four of the six teams failed to top 49.000 on any event. When the Wolverines did hit the floor exercise in rotation two, they tallied a 49.200, led by back-to-back-to-back 9.900 scores from Curtis, Beilstein and Botterman.
Michigan sat out the third rotation on another bye before heading to vault where Illinois had set the benchmark earlier with a 48.925 team score in the previous rotation. Beilstein nailed a 9.900 vault to lead the way, followed closely by Curtis' 9.875 and Botterman's 9.850 to give U-M a 49.125 vault score, putting them in a tie with Penn State with two events down.
U-M rotated to bars where no team had scored better than 48.925 through four rotations. Michigan scored 49.125 to set the event high, but despite strong routines throughout the line-up, were capped at 9.850 with Curtis, senior Maureen Moody (East Lansing, Mich./East Lansing) and senior Jordan Sexton (Weddington, N.C./Weddington) topping out at 9.850.
The Wolverines sat out their final bye while Penn State scored 48.825 on vault to fall behind the Wolverines by 0.275 with one event remaining. Michigan matched up on beam, while Penn State took to the bars. The Wolverines wasted no time, putting up back-to-back scores of 9.900 from Curtis and freshman Katie Zurales (Wheaton, Ill./Wheaton Warrenville South) and then ending the rotation with 9.900s from Botterman and Knuston to finish with a 49.450 beam score - tying for the fifth best total in U-M program history.
The Big Ten Network telecast of the Championships will re-air on Sunday (March 28) at 2 a.m. and again on Monday (March 29) at noon.
Michigan will wait until Monday (March 29) to learn where they will be sent for the NCAA Regional Championships which begin Saturday (April 10) at six campus sites around the country. Six teams will be sent to each regional with the top two at each site earning a berth into the NCAA Championships. The Wolverines are guaranteed their 19th-straight NCAA Regional appearance.

Radio- USB/ aux
I have a 2006 BMW 118i and I just got a brand new radio installed. I can't get my iPod to work anymore!! On the steering wheel I used to be able to switch between aux, radio as cd, now it only goes between radio and cd. Also when I go to the audio function on the radio it gives me the choice of cd, radio or USB. Can I do anything to fix this?

First off, hello to everyone and much thanks to those responsible for making this forum available to Saab owners. I've owned a 9000 Aero for five years now, and have experienced very few surprises. Unfortunately, today the Aero left me high and dry. It cranks perfectly, but the engine will not fire at all. I suspect the DI cassette, as I picked up a slight smell of burnt electronics under the hood, but the car had never had the misfire problem typical of a failing DI. The battery did go weak after several short cold weather trips a few days ago, but after a one hour recharge, it started up and ran with no problems until today. Any ideas?

Ems Finish Home Games with Double-Header
By Eugene Emeralds | August 26, 2013 9:13 AM ET
After a rain-soaked affair at PK Park on Sunday evening, the Eugene Emeralds and the visiting Salem-Keizer Volcanoes are preparing to play a doubleheader Monday evening to conclude Eugene's home games for the 2013 season. Here's everything you need to know about today's double-header:
- Gates will open at 4pm
- Play will resume from yesterday's action at 5pm - we will start where we left off yesterday with a 1-1 score with two outs in the top of the 4th inning.
- Game Two will start 30 minutes after the end of Game One
- Game One will be played the standard 9 innings, while Game Two will be played in only 7 innings per Northwest League rules
- The scheduled Eugene Emeralds and United States Air Force flag giveaway will start when gates open at 4pm with the first 1,000 fans through the home plate gate receiving one
- If you have a ticket stub from Sunday's game, you MUST bring it to the PK Park box office to redeem it for a valid ticket for today's game
- You do not - repeat, DO NOT - need two separate tickets for Game One and Game Two. Once you purchase a ticket, you will be able to enjoy both games if you wish.
- It is Good Karma Monday at PK Park, meaning fans that purchase tickets at the box office have the option of picking any price they choose for a box seat ticket (in $1 increments) with half of today's ticket sales being donated directly to this week's highlighted non-profit, United Way of Lane County.
After yesterday's rain-soaked affair, the Emeralds are preparing to wrap up this season's action at PK Park with double the action. Don't miss out on the chance to catch the final TWO games at PK Park this season.

Re: Universal M18 - stopping using throttle push back
The engine stop lever/handle is separate from the decompression lever. They are TWO separate things. The throttle should NOT stop the engine. If it does, your minimum stop is set too low or your cable is too short.
Take a more detailed look at your engine and the data at Marine Diesel Engines and Engine Parts - Universal, Volvo, Westerbeke, Yanmar, MASE.
Re: Universal M18 - stopping using throttle push back
Don't stop a motor with the decompression lever(s).
Re: Universal M18 - stopping using throttle push back
Universal M-18 Images and Specifications - Universal Diesel Engine Owners Manual - Marine Diesel Direct / Torresen Sailing Site
I can now see the black pull up lever is connected to the stop lever. The decompression lever is on the top. Seems that the previous owner was correct.
If only they were so diligent on the maintenance!
Re: Universal M18 - stopping using throttle push back
Thanks guys, really appreciate your input.
I wish I could post pics but for now I'll make a verbal description.
There are two levers in the cockpit, one to select forward and reverse, and the other is the throttle lever.
The throttle lever can be pushed backward against a spring for roughly two inches, I held it there for around 5 seconds and nothing happened. I has friend push the lever back whilst I observed what happened. I could see a little bit of movement, but I'm talking less than a quarter of an inch.
The other engine control is a handle we pull up that we've been up using to stop the engine, this is connected to a different part of the engine about 4" aft of the throttle lever.
I apologise for not giving a clearer picture from the start.
Re: Universal M18 - stopping using throttle push back
Single lever throttle controls as described by Joe do NOT by design shut off the fuel completely. If the fuel were shut off when the lever is pulled aft for stern propulsion the engine would stop. Engines with single lever controls like this must use a separate cable for fuel shutoff...an engine stop cable.
Many engines have throttle controls that differ from the controls described in engine manuals. For example my Yanmar tech manual describes a dual lever control system with one lever for the transmission and a separate lever for the fuel. With this system the fuel is completely shut off when the fuel lever is pulled to the full stop position and no separate engine stop cable is used. Engine reversing was accomplished by shifting the second lever from full forward to full aft.
The installed system is a single lever system. I replaced the old system with it because it was simple and reliable and less expensive. I had to install an engine stop cable as a result of the change.
Capt T: I don't think the lever you are pulling is the decompression lever. It is more than likely the engine stop control cable. Your manual is correct...it is a bad idea to use decompression of the cylinders to stop the engine.
Re: Universal M18 - stopping using throttle push back
When you push against the throttle to stop the engine, you are doing so against quite a powerful spring. You may have to push harder than you have so far. Presumably it's designed thus to prevent you from accidentally stopping the engine.
There is a distinct stop at the idle position, then it will move further against the spring. (if it's adjusted properly!). I have to push hard on the lever, so I would not expect you to be able to move the arm at the engine by hand.
When I got my Universal I didn't know this and couldn't figure out how to stop the engine!
Re: Universal M18 - stopping using throttle push back
Thanks jjablonowski.
From memory 1) and 2) are the same. 3) has barely any movement at the engine end.
If 3) also opens the engine throttle how does it's action stop the engine?
I would expect 3) to close the throttle completely and starve the engine of fuel causing it to stop. I tried to push the throttle closed by hand but it didn't move, though I didn't get too forceful.
I'm away from the boat for the week but will review it's action next time.
Re: Universal M18 - stopping using throttle push back
Take a look at the linkage between your throttle lever and the actual cable that goes to the engine.
On mine, there's a T-shaped bell crank type lever that 1.) when straight up it has the cable length in the "idle" position, 2.) when moved forward it pushes the cable on the engine to increasingly open the throttle, and 3.) when moved aft it ALSO pushes the cable to open the engine throttle.
Universal M18 - stopping using throttle push back
Hey all,
The previous owner told us the way to stop the engine was to pull up on a black lever, which we've been doing happily for over 2 years.
Over the weekend I was doing something novel... reading the manual.
It advises that the way to stop the engine is to push back on the throttle and not to use the decompression lever.
I tried to push back on the throttle but the engine didn't stop, it barely makes any movement on the engine end of the throttle.
a) I am correct in assuming the black lever we've been pulling is the decompression lever we're not supposed to pull up?
b) Do we need to adjust the throttle lever to have more of an impact on the throttle at the engine end?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

It is looking all but certain that the original trio of 'Star Wars' leads will be returning for J.J. Abrams' 'Star Wars: Episode 7'.
When Mark Hamill confirmed that talks had taken place with Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford and himself he said they would be back as supporting characters, leading many to speculate that the real stars of this new trilogy will be the offspring of their characters.
LucasFilm are unlikely to stick too closely to the expanded universe fiction which has pretty much filled out the entire lives of the Skywalker and Solo clan, but there's no reason they won't keep some things the same.
[Related story: Fan creates "Star Wars Family Tree"]
[Related story: Was the destruction of the Death Star an inside job?]
For example their children. We will be looking at potential actors for each role over the coming week, but for now here's a very brief history of each of the characters who could be saving the galaxy far far away in 2015.
Meet the kids
In the years following the destruction of the Death Star in 'Return of the Jedi' Leia and Han Solo have twins, Jaina and Jacen, followed by another son Anakin a year and a half later.
Nearly 15 years after that Luke Skywalker, having found a wife in expanded universe figurehead Mara Jade, has a son called Ben, after his mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Anakin Solo
Anakin's life was short and tragic. He died a little over 16-years old fighting off forces of the alien race known as the Yuuzhan Vong in an attempt to give his friends and fellow Jedi enough time to eradicate the threat they posed to the New Rupublic.
Jaina and Jacen Solo
Twins much like their mother and uncle, Jaina and Jacen had the benefit of growing up with each other and definitely didn't share any awkward, creepy kisses on Hoth. They did however have their own host of problems.
An accomplished mechanic and distinguished pilot, Jaina was also trained in the ways of the Jedi and fought in many wars even at a young age alongside her brother Jacen, who was a Jedi Knight through and through.
Both were deeply affected by the death of their brother Anakin, each flirting with the dark side. It was Jacen who succumbed to it however eventually, over time, becoming Darth Caedus. Keeping his alliance with the Sith secret, it was his aunt Mara Jade-Skywalker who first found out, leading to Jacen killing her.
Jaina resisted the dark side and eventually fought long and hard against her brother who had seized control of the Galactic Alliance. Brother and sister eventually duelled in a battle that ended Jacen's life and brought an end to the Second Galactic Civil War.
Ben Skywalker
Much younger than his cousins, Ben Skywalker was in fact taught the ways of the force by Jacen, prior to his turn to the dark side.
Eventually becoming a powerful Jedi, Ben went on his own adventures and fought his own battles. He would return however to investigate the death of his mother, eventually discovering it was his cousin who had committed the murder.
This lead to many battles between the two during the Second Galactic Civil War.
What does this mean for 'Episode 7'?
This is of course a very brief look at the very long histories of each character. We feel like any new film would focus on three rather than four children so one, probably Anakin, could be dropped.
You get a feel for their dynamic however and how they could work in a new trilogy with Jaina the born leader, Ben the most pure and Jacen toying with the dark side.
Keep an eye on Yahoo over the next week as we start to look at who might be cast as Jaina, Jacen and Ben.

An overview of the biocreative 2012 workshop track III: Interactive text mining task. Database: The Journal of Biological Databases and Curation. 2012:1-18. Available: http://database.oxfordjournals.org/content/2013/bas056.full. Interpretive Summary: Manual curation is the major bottleneck in adding experimentally proven gene functions to the online genome databases that serve as key resources in deciphering the ever-increasing numbers of genomic blueprints for crops and farm animals. This report describes a collaborative effort to reduce the bottleneck. A number of text mining tool developers and database curators have met to test performance of new tools, and discuss improvements that would speed up the transfer of data from the literature to any genome database. This collaboration involves both persons knowledgeable in both medical and agriculturally relevant species. The goal is to facilitate tools that will use these data to infer and/or confirm the genes responsible for complex traits important to both medicine and agriculture.
Technical Abstract: An important question is how to make use of text mining to enhance the biocuration workflow. A number of groups have developed tools for text mining from a computer science/linguistics perspective and there are many initiatives to curate some aspect of biology from the literature. In some cases the curation effort already makes use of a text mining tool, but there have not been many broad-based systematic efforts to study which aspects of a text mining tool contribute to its usefulness for a curation task. Here we report on an effort to bring together a number of text mining tool developers and database biocurators to test the utility and usability of tools. Six text mining systems presenting diverse biocuration tasks participated in the formal evaluation, and appropriate biocurators were recruited for testing. The performance results from this evaluation indicate that a set of systems were able to improve efficiency of curation by speeding the curation task significantly (~1.7 to 2.5 fold) over manual curation. Some of the systems were able to improve annotation accuracy when compared to the performance on the manually curated set. In terms of inter-annotator agreement the factors that contributed to significant differences for some of the systems included the expertise of the biocurator on the given curation task, the inherent difficulty of the curation, and not following annotation guidelines. The user survey analysis highlights how important task completion is to the biocurators' overall experience of a system, regardless of the system's high score on design, learnability, and usability. We will use this information to plan for a more intense study of these issues in the coming year at the BioCreative IV Workshop.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Welcome to Just Answers, I will do my best to Answer your Question.
You must prove (you have the burden of proof) that you didn't owe the money or the money was paid. You must contact the agency that liened the property. Give them a certified letter of notice of the issue. They have to listen to you providing not too much time has passed... But clearly, how ever proof you have, cancelled checks, processed tax returns, how ever you have it documented, get them on the phone and find out how to remedy the issue. If you have to file a claim against them, find out the who and where and the proper form to file.
When dealing with a governmental agency, it can get dicey and you want to be very clear as to their instructions.
Please let me know if you need further assistance.
NYS Department of Taxation-Tax Compliance filed the lien on October 27, 2004 for taxes owed for 1998 and 1999 in the amount of $81,732.21. The IRS also filed a lien on February 9, 2006 in the amount of $625,249.00. After filing the federal returns the IRS released the lien as there were no capital gains. At that time we believed that NYS had also released the lien because of information provided to us by a representative of the Tax Advocate Service, however, this information was not in writing and we have no proof of it. When we closed on the property on August 21, 2007 the sale price was to be $922,000.00 but due to an accounting error on the part of the seller's attorney that went unrecognized by our attorney until August 23, 2007 we were still owed $20,570.75. All monies remained in escrow through a lengthy legal battle which we won in 2008. At that time NYS took there money off the top and the rest of the money was released.
When I send the certified letter to NYS Department of Taxation should I include all of the documentation at that time or just the letter stating this information and was for instructions as to where to send the paperwork?
I would send all of the copied documentation.
If you have an attorney, you should "CC" your attorney "just for the record" of the isse
Also note on the bottom of your letter that you are CC the information to the attorney so they know "other" people will be involved.
Hang in there for one min... I want to re-read your statement
Okay, thank you for your help I will do so. Do you know the statute of limitations since the 1998 and 1999 state returns were apparently never filed?
Well the statues do vary from state to state and the IRS as well, but usually when it comes to the state or IRS collecting on back taxes, there is no statute, but when it comes the them owing us money, it's 3 years
But, if they taken money that shouldn't have, then sometimes the statute doesn't began until you discovered the error
still reading..................
Did you file the State along with the Federal back in 2006 or when the IRS release their lien?
The tax advocate advisor said "Well NYS should release you of all liens now as well" when the IRS released the lien. However, she failed to explain that we had to go through the same process with NYS. I know we should have realized but we were ignorant and just relieved.
The state, in my opinion needs to be filed along with the Fed. If nothing was filed with the state unless an amendment is needed
I also just found out that that money could have ever been recouped. I thought once they took it in that manner, that was that.
I think, you need to file the state, but also provide the Federal Release and any additional paperwork to support your issue.
Ok. I have all of that information and I will contact my attorney to walk us through this. I was hoping to avoid the legal fees that will greatly reduce any reimbursement but hopefully it will ensure a better chance at getting anything back.
Thank you for your help at least I have a jumping off point now. I will include a tip with payment.
true... so true
thank you so much
i wish the very best

Happy "Yanks Launch New Attacks on Peninsula" Day!
IT'S THE 70TH ANNIVERSARY OF D DAY And we would all do well to remember how a people softened by recession and girded by man selling nationalism embraced a movement that killed so many. It can happen again. Take some time to note the day with young people who may have no clue what it means.
DEMOCRATS ARE PLAYING IN THE GOP PRIMARY Republicans, don't be fooled by a new mailer out attacking Tom Tancredo as "too conservative". They are sent out by a Democrat group who WANT Tom Tancredo as the candidate. Today at 7:05 I'll talk to Todd Shepherd with CompleteColorado.com about the latest scheme.
I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY WITH THESE LIBS The folks who made history with the Citizen's United case are trying to do a documentary on John Hickenlooper here in Colorado. The Secretary of State's office said, sorry, you won't be exempt from electioneering rules here. One lib group had this to say:
"As the Supreme Court said in the case that bears Citizens United's name, the public has a right to know who is spending money to influence their vote as an election nears," said Luis Toro, Ethics Watch's director, after Thursday's ruling."
I could not agree more! I think EVERY ad by a 527 should have a disclaimer announcing that the people who made it want to hide behind the 527 designation so they don't have to tell you who is doing it. We can start with the mailers mentioned above.
IS THE DPD A MODERN DAY KEYSTONE COPS OUTFIT? The Denver Police Department has suffered a series of black eyes due to officer misconduct and lawbreaking as of late. Though this story is kind of funny, it adds to the perception that DPD officers are not making good decisions. Does Chief White need to address these issues publicly? What needs to happen in the department to prevent this stuff from happening?
IS THE BERGDAHL STORY EVEN WORSE THAN WE THINK? As if that were possible, right? Except according to a private contractor in a detailed report, it is now alleged that Bowe Bergdahl not only converted to Islam, he declared himself mujahadin and was friendly with his captors during his time with them. Stockholm Syndrome or personal choice? Only Bowe Bergdahl knows for sure.
OBAMA V. W...THE BATTLE OF COMPETENCE? A recent Fox News poll says more people think George W Bush was a more competent President than Barack Obama. And considering how little people thought of W when he left office, this is saying something. James Taranto broke it down best yesterday. Read it here.
A MOM TAKES BIG STEPS AGAINST COMMON CORE the opposition to Common Core is growing from all angles as people realize exactly how dodgy it is. Don't understand why it's dodgy? Read this article, and click through to the lengthy blog posting that has set the internet on fire. It's worth every minute of your time. Especially if you have kids.
THIS IS THE WORST FIRST DATE EVER This is why you don't fly around the world to meet people you meet on the internet.
DOES THIS MAKE SEX SEEM LIKE A BUSINESS DEAL? California is determined to ruin everything. They've passed a law, an actual law that requires college students to obtain:
"an affirmative, unambiguous, and conscious decision by each participant to engage in mutually agreed-upon sexual activity."
This should be fun to watch. My big question is, why only college students? Why not everyone? This will keep the lawyers busy for days.
GO MISS PENNSYLVANIA! I am not a Miss USA fan (no talent portion!) but I will rooting hard for Miss Pennsylvania this year. She has come forward with the story of her conception, and it was at the point of a knife. Her mother made a brave choice and now this beautiful young woman is spreading the word about sexual violence. And by default, spreading an anti abortion message to boot.
SOMEHOW I THINK THE MARRIAGE MIGHT BE IN TROUBLE BEFORE THIS A woman has filed for divorce because her husband doesn't like the movie Frozen. Although I love Elsa and Anna, this does seem a little silly to me.

The welfare ministry plans to raise the share of costs for insured nursing care services to 20 percent from 10 percent for people with certain levels of income, sources said.
The ministry is looking to raise the burden on people receiving pension income of at least ¥2.8 million to ¥2.9 million, the sources said Saturday.
It will present the proposal to a subcommittee of the Social Security Council, an advisory panel to the welfare minister, on Wednesday, the sources said. The ministry expects to submit a bill to revise the Long-Term Care Insurance Act to the Diet next year so the revision can be made in fiscal 2015.
At present, people 65 or older can receive nursing care services if they pay 10 percent of the costs out of their own pocket, regardless of income.
Due to the rapid aging of society, however, nursing care insurance payouts are climbing steadily. The payouts, which stood at about ¥9.4 trillion in fiscal 2013, are expected to hit ¥21 trillion in fiscal 2025, when the postwar baby boomers reach the age of 75.
Given the severe fiscal threat, the National Council on Social Security System Reform proposed in August that people with certain incomes shoulder more of the cost for insured nursing services.

STATEMENT BY SENATOR SIMCHA FELDER DENOUNCING NEW PLASTIC BAG TAX "I am completely opposed to the legislation introduced by Councilmembers Chin and Lander requiring retail and grocery stores to charge at least 10 cents for paper and plastic bags at retail and grocery stores," said Senator Felder. "New Yorkers cannot afford the basics, and now the City Council is essentially telling the average New Yorker who is in trouble, 'not only are you suffering, but we're really going to stomp on your head by charging you 10 cents extra per bag.'
"This is nothing more than a tax and an attempt to make money. People are already overtaxed and overburdened. While the City Council is busy seeing green, New Yorkers will be seeing red. This scheme hearkens back to 2008 when Mayor Bloomberg wanted to charge six cents for the use of plastic bags. I took on the City's budget director at a hearing on that proposal as well. It was a tax five years ago and it's still a tax today."

MRS. ELLIE KASTEL OF THE BORO PARK Y HONORED BY SENATOR FELDER AT WOMEN OF DISTINCTION EVENT Mrs. Ellie Kastel, Executive Director of the Boro Park Y, was honored by Senator Simcha Felder (D-Brooklyn) in Albany as part of the Senate's annual Women of Distinction program, which recognizes women's contributions to their communities. Mrs. Kastel has been an integral part of the Boro Park YM-YWHA team since September 1980. Every year, the Senate honors a distinguished woman from our area and throughout the state at a ceremony in Albany, where each honoree's photograph and biography becomes part of a special exhibit proclaiming the contributions of these
The Flatbush Voice
exemplary New York women. "There are remarkable women in our midst whose lives, work, or special accomplishments contribute to making our communities better, making our families stronger, and serve as special examples to others," said Senator Felder. "The Senate's 'Women of Distinction' program provides a special opportunity to honor these women for their achievements and to thank them for the pride they bring to our communities." Previous winners in the annual event have included leading women from the world of business, academics, and civic
life, as well as those who have performed heroic or selfless acts, made significant discoveries, or provided examples of personal excellence against difficult odds. The Women of Distinction program was created as part of the Senate's celebration of Women's History Month. In addition to recognizing presentday women, each March, the Senate hosts a display that honors other distinguished women from New York's past, from leaders of the 19thcentury suffragist movement to pioneers in education, science, and the arts.

WHAT CAN SENATOR SIMCHA FELDER DO FOR YOU? Senator Felder can assist you with various problems involving property taxes, utility or water bills, food stamps, housing, Medicaid, and other issues requiring government intervention.
If you ask the average person who their elected officials are, you will most likely get the wrong answer or no answer at all. People tend to be confused about who represents them in government and what function each official serves. In New York State, each person, known as a constituent, has a representative in the State Senate and in the Assembly. Together, the State Senate and the Assembly are known as the legislature. Constituents are also represented by a member in the New York City Council, which oversees issues involving New York City. Additionally, each New Yorker is represented in the federal government by a member
of Congress (in the House of Representatives) and a United States senator.
So, what does a State Senator do? In short, they help people
like you – the constituents who elected them – with any problems involving New York State government. New York State senators are men and women who work in their respective communities and at the state capitol in Albany to make laws that protect you and improve the quality of life
for all New Yorkers. The Senate meets in Albany for legislative session which takes place in the Senate chamber. Senators divide their time between their district and Albany offices, giving them time to meet with constituents and resolve any concerns constituents may have.
FAST FACTS…BY THE NUMBERS • There are 63 Senators in New York State. • There are 150 Assembly members in New York State. • Senators and Assembly members are elected for 2-year terms. • The Governor is elected to a 4-year term. • A Senator typically represents about 300,000 people in a community. • Over a two-year legislative session, approximately 9,000 bills are introduced in the Senate. • Each year, the Senate passes about 1,400 bills and about 800 of these bills become law.
PAYING TRIBUTE TO MILITARY PERSONNEL AT WEST POINT DAY IN ALBANY served 23 years on active duty in the United States Army. Both the Senate and the Assembly adopted Legislative Resolutions to commemorate the Academy's visit and to honor the establishment of the United States Military Academy at West Point.
Each Senator represents a different area of New York State. Senator Felder represents the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Midwood, Flatbush, Borough Park, Kensington, Sunset Park, Madison, and Bensonhurst. Constituents have all sorts of problems when they call or come to Senator Felder's office. They may need assistance with their property taxes, water bills, or utility bills. Often, people have questions about food stamps, housing, or obtaining low-cost or free medical care. Regardless of your issue, we are here to help you in any way we can. If you need assistance, please call us at 718-253-2015 or visit us at 1412 Avenue J on the second floor. We look forward to serving you!
"History has taught us time and again that freedom is not free," said Senator Felder. "It is incumbent upon all of us who love this great nation to show our immense gratitude to the men and women who serve our country at tremendous personal sacrifice so that we may live peacefully." An estimated 1200 new cadets enter the Academy each year. Currently, there are 4,400 cadets enrolled at West Point from every state in the United States, as well as from several foreign countries. After graduation, cadets are deployed throughout the world and serve on active duty for at least five years. (L-R) Senator Bill Larkin; Brigadier General Timothy Trainor; Senator Simcha Felder; and Senator Marty Golden at the 61st Annual West Point Day in Albany
Senator Simcha Felder (D-Brooklyn) recently welcomed and paid tribute to men and women from the United States Military Academy at West Point at a reception as part of the 61st Annual "West Point Day" held at the New York State Capitol in Albany. The event was hosted by Senator Bill Larkin (R-C, Cornwall-on-Hudson), a retired lieutenant colonel who
Page 4
"West Point is truly a unique institution and one that produces the best of the best," said Senator Larkin. "The men and women who attend the Academy are proven leaders who have excelled at academics and have demonstrated their abilities under pressure." Senators Felder and Larkin met with many of the cadets, as well as with Brigadier General Timothy Trainor, the Dean of the Academic Board at the Academy. "It was so gratifying to meet these real-life heroes," Senator Felder said. "I pray that the Almighty blesses and protects our Armed Forces wherever they may serve."

FELDER INTRODUCES BILL REQUIRING CEMETERIES TO ACCOMMODATE SAME-DAY BURIALS AFTER BUSINESS HOURS Senator Simcha Felder (D-Brooklyn) has introduced legislation that will force cemeteries to perform same-day burials even after business hours. Under the current law, someone who dies after 11:00 A.M. cannot be buried until the next day. When a person passes away on a Friday or just before a holiday, the wait for burial can be as long as two to three days. "The need for this bill is long overdue," said Senator Felder. "Countless New Yorkers adhere to a belief system that requires same-day interment for the deceased. This legislation is about redressing a grievance for these citizens and allowing griefstricken mourners to begin the healing process in a timely way." The provisions of the bill state that cemeteries must be notified at least two hours prior to burial, and the decedent has to be brought to the cemetery at least a half-hour before sundown. If a cemetery is unable to perform the burial, it must provide written justification explaining its inability to do so. "It is unconscionable and unfair to cause needless suffering to the grieving family members who are struggling to come to terms with their loss and are looking for closure," said Rabbi Eliezer Spira, a chevra kadisha member affiliated with the Bais Ha'medrash Chasidei Belz. "In other states, funerals can be conducted promptly and New York State should also afford this same kind of protection to its citizens."

Senator Felder Seals a Sinkhole A dangerous sinkhole on 47th Street between 19th Avenue and McDonald Avenue had remained unfilled since September 2012 while various City agencies bickered about who was responsible to fix it. It had become filled with debris and other types of garbage.
Case Summaries
When Mr. M. called Senator Felder's office to report the sinkhole, a staff member immediately went down to the site, took photographs, and met with Mr. M. to get more details. Senator Felder personally intervened and contacted the commissioners of each agency involved. He demanded that the sinkhole be filled immediately before it became the site of a tragic accident. Within a week of Senator Felder's calls, the sinkhole was filled.
Holiday Tickets Dismissed In May, three neighbors in Boro Park each received a $100 Sanitation ticket for failing to clean the sidewalk in front of their respective homes. The day in question was Shavuos. Outraged, the neighbors contacted Senator Felder's office for assistance. Senator Felder wrote to the Environmental Control Board to appeal the tickets on behalf of his constituents, and included the notarized letter of defense from each family. He explained that his constituents were barred from performing any kind of work on the Jewish Sabbath or holidays, and requested that the tickets be dismissed.
By July, each family received their notice of a "not guilty" decision in the mail.
Stumped by a Tree Stump For two years, Mr. Fromer tried in vain to get the rotting tree outside of his home removed. The tree was swaying dangerously close to the roof of his house and posed a serious risk to Mr. Fromer and his family. Finally, Mr. Fromer asked Senator Felder's office to intercede. After visiting Mr. Fromer's home and photographing the offending tree, Senator Felder's staff forwarded the pictures to the Brooklyn Forestry Unit and demanded immediate action. Within a week, the tree was removed, and a very grateful Mr. Fromer (pictured) called to thank the Senator for his prompt assistance.
A Disabled Baby Finds a Home A young couple recently gave birth to a baby with special needs. Already parents of several other small children, the young couple felt ill-prepared to care for the child. The baby remained at the hospital until a temporary volunteer placement was found. Unfortunately, the infant could not remain with the volunteer family any longer, and the parents needed a permanent placement funded by the Office of People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD). The parents were told there was no funding available for a permanent placement. Desperate, they contacted a nonprofit organization serving individuals with developmental delays. A staff member found a warm, certified, and experienced family who was willing to take the baby, but wanted assurance of financial assistance from OPWDD before they would bring the baby home. The organization called Senator Felder for assistance. He contacted the commissioner of OPWDD and explained the dire situation and the need for an immediate placement. Two days later, the organization was told that funding would be made available to the adoptive family to help care for their new child.

SENATOR FELDER UNVEILS LEGISLATION FOR MIDDLE-CLASS CHILD CARE TAX CREDIT Credit Would Ease Child Care Costs for Middle-Class New Yorkers, Currently the Highest in the Nation costs in the country. In 2012, the average cost of day care was $14,000. The legislation will make child care more affordable for parents by providing expanded assistance to New Yorkers with children under the age of 4.
Senator Simcha Felder reviews the Child Care Tax Credit with Josh Wallack, Vice President of the Early Childhood Division at the Children's Aid Society.
At a press conference at City Hall, Senator Simcha Felder unveiled legislation that will ease the cost of child care for middle-class families in New York City. Senator Felder made the announcement in conjunction with Speaker Quinn, the Children's Aid Society, United Neighborhood Houses, the Children's Defense Fund and parents of young children eligible for child care.
Speaker Quinn, will increase the child care tax credit offered to low-income families and will expand the credit to include middle-class households.
The Middle-Class Child Care Tax Credit, first proposed by
New York City has the most expensive infant day care
"This legislation is in keeping with my commitment to help middle-class taxpayers and their families survive," said Senator Felder. "New York City's forgotten middle-class has suffered too much for too long."
"We must rein in the skyrocketing cost of child care and make it affordable for all New Yorkers," said Speaker Christine C. Quinn. "The Middle-Class Child Care Tax Credit will ease the cost of child care in New York City—the highest in the nation—and will provide expanded assistance to low-income and middle-class parents with young children, and I thank Senator Felder and Assembly Member Farrell for sponsoring this important legislation." Currently, only households with adjusted gross incomes of $25,000 or less can benefit from the full tax credit for child care. The expanded credit will offer tax relief to parents with incomes of up to $170,000. More than 100,000 families will benefit from the expanded child care credit, which would
be equal to the applicable percentage of the federal tax credit for dependent care services. With child care credits from all levels of government, middleclass families will receive tax credits of up to $1,000 for one child and $2,000 credit for two or more children. The percentage would be: • 90 percent for incomes of $45,000 or less • For incomes between $45,001 and $60,000, the credit phases down from 90 percent to 50 percent • 50 percent for incomes
between $150,000
• For incomes between $150,001 and $175,000, the credit phases down from 50 percent to zero "Especially during these difficult economic times, we have to do everything we can to ease the burden on taxpayers, and put money back into the pockets of hardworking New Yorkers where it belongs." Senator Felder added. "I am very proud to sponsor this common-sense legislation." Credits: All charts credited to Office of New York City Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn
