Reno Trumps Omaha, 8-2, to Win the PCL Championship
Chasers season ends two victories short of back-to-back championships
By Tony Bibler | September 15, 2012 9:40 PM ET
OMAHA, Neb. - The Reno Aces clinched the 2012 Pacific Coast League Championship on Saturday night with an 8-2 victory over the Omaha Storm Chasers at Werner Park. The loss ends the Storm Chasers season two victories short of repeating as PCL Champs while the Aces will travel to Durham, NC to take on the International League Champion Pawtucket Red Sox in the Triple-A National Championship Game on Tuesday, September 18.
Doug Davis (0-1) was hit with the loss after allowing three runs, two earned, over seven hits in 4.1 innings pitched. Adam Moore drove in both of Omaha's runs with his two-run single in the seventh inning.
Both offenses came out of the gate sluggish as the first run was not plated until the fourth when Reno scored first when Irving Falu and Anthony Seratelli each had a throwing error on the same play to push across the Aces' Taylor Harbin. Reno extended their lead to 3-0 in the fifth when Harbin singled in a run. Michael Mariot was summoned from the bullpen and yielded a run when he uncorked a wild pitch that plated Tyler Bortnick.
Mariot pitched to two batters in the sixth and gave up a triple and an RBI double to Tyler Kuhn. Brandon Sisk was then inserted to pitch and gave up a sacrifice fly to Mike Jacobs. The run was charged to Mariot.
In the home half of the seventh, a Clint Robinson single was followed up by a Rey Navarro double, to set up Moore for his two-run single.
Undaunted, Reno fired back and scored three runs in the eighth off of Donnie Joseph, who worked through a third of an inning, to put the Storm Chasers in an 8-2 hole. After yielding the three runs, Joseph was pulled and Roman Colon was inserted to finish out the final inning and two-thirds. Omaha was sat down in order in the ninth to end the game.

Post subject: Plaxico
Last night I was listening to ESPN 800 on my way to work, Sean Salisbury was interviewing David Terrell, and for some reason they mentioned Burress going "somewhere hot and sunny, with a good RB and a good TE". I didnt know why Terrell was saying this, but now this morning I hear that that is a direct quote from Burress.
Its obvious he's talking about the Chargers, I think that would be a good pick up if he's not asking to much.
If we got him we could focus on Defense in the 1st round, Carlos Rogers, Marcus Spears,or Shawne Merriman with the #12 pick, after that go best available player at positions of need. FS, DE, OL, CB, LB(add depth), .
I know we dont need a DB with our top pick, but I think Rogers is gonna be the best CB in the league some day.

Signing Burress would be a great pichup. I doubt it'll happen though. If it is the case, the Chargers could concetrate on drafting some key positions with their top three picks: DE, FS, OT or LB. I would prefer a DE, but then I think of Dave Ball. At 6-5 and a few extra pounds of muscle this offseason, he might be the pass rusher we need on the d-line. We all know he was a good pass rusher, but he was also a very good run stopper. He is second in UCLA history with 43.5 tackles for loss. Just a thought, what do think?

plaxico could really flourish in the chargers offense. with impact players at TE and RB and a solid group of #2 and #3 receivers, plaxico could become a huge addition. imagine a pro bowl caliber player at every offensive skill position..who else has that? I say pick up burress and rossum in FA then draft spears/cody/merriman at #12 and brodney pool at #28 and just watch what this team does. Anyone care to disagree?

I disagree with the Pool pick. That is too high for him. Plus we just picked up Jue. Jue will battle Milligan for the starting FS position. We can then focus on getting the OT Barnes at 28.

Plaxico Burress could definetly be the deep threat that we need, I say for thr right price bring him in, but I wouldn't pay too much for the guy, I still think that defense wins championships, so we have got to be smart with our money.
Go bolts!!!!!!!!!!

Come on we have tons of money right now. and now that we picked up jue, why not add a couple more free agents. I say get plax and Ian gold in FA. After that we will still have enough money to sign our rookies. I say that because of the addition of Moss by Oakland, draft someone who can keep up with him. Get Pac man Jones with #12, he will most likely be there. He will be a stud. And at #28 get someone like Pollack or jammal brown if they are there, if not get someone like justin tuck or matt roth.

who has a pro bowl caliber player at each position? the colts. I don't think plax is our type of player. Unless im mistaken i think plax has a rep for being an a-hole.

ok ok, I'm off of the poole trip now that we got jue. i was also unaware that plax has character issues, but maybe that was because he was a #1 receiver trapped in pit as a #2...
anyways, I would love to trade up to get mike williams, braylon edwards, or derrick johnson. if we stay at #12 and #28 i think we should get spears, rolle, or merriman at #12. with #28 s. cody, K. barnes, or mark clayton.
i also think we should definitely pick up rossum, the nfls fastest man.
p.s. isn't tight end an offensive skill position charger-man? i don't think the colts can match us there. go bolts.

Personally, I think Pool at #28 is a good draft choice. Most draft boards have him as a late first to early second. The Chargers need a quality FS, not patch work. Jue is a good pickup, but he's never played the FS position. He was a SS with the Packers. You never know, I could be wrong.

I am trying to bake a custom ROM from ainol sources. Just to see how it works and learn how to do it properly and in the future try to help community developing custom ROMs for Fire (JB is the target for me). I came to the point where I need to modify init.rc script which resides on the initial ram disk. I know that this stuff is inside boot.img. The question is how to modify that file? I know that the file is in uImage format and it contains the kernel and initramfs, but I don't know how to unpack it and later prepare modified boot.img. I tried some Perl script called unpack-bootimg.pl, but it says that it is not a complete image. I also tried two scripts from Pat's mediafire account called repack.sh and unpack.sh - the device is not bootable after flashing that modified boot.img.
Any idea how to do it properly?
I will be very grateful for any help.
UPDATE: [Problem SOLVED]
So basically remove gzip part from repack.sh script and it works just fine. Just remember that this method doesn't allow bigger ramdisks than original.

Does a Landlord Have to Accept Section 8 Vouchers?
Posted on 30. Jul, 2009 by Robert Machado in Business
While HomePointe (my property management business) does accept any legal source of income, our clients reserve the right to not participate in the Section 8 Program. The Section 8 Program involves signing a government lease, not ours. It also involves submitting to mandatory inspections both at move in and annually. Finally, it also mandates longer notices than currently in force in the State of California.
Here is a quote from the California Apartment Association for your review.
Q. Can I turn down a prospective resident because he/she receives a federal or state subsidy?
A. No. State law, defines source of income as "lawful, verifiable income paid directly to a resident or paid to a representative of a tenant." The intent of this law is to protect residents from discrimination in housing based upon their source of income. The law, however, does not require an owner to participate in the Section 8 rental assistance program.

Twitter Harnesses Their Users As An Online Research Group
New service could mean less unexpected changes for regular Twitter users.
Twitter has tested more than a few variations of its mobile apps over the past week, most of which were launched among a small subset of users to get data and feedback. Instead of bombarding existing users with feature changes, the company made the decision to launch an online research group in the UK called #Birdsignals. This could mean collecting opinions more discreetly, and less chance of annoying the bulk of Twitter users with quick-fire iterations.
Users can sign up to take part but only selected people are accepted since Twitter is trying to assemble a spectrum of different kinds of users. The site requires you to link the service to your Twitter account and then submit a series of details — date of birth, gender and location — after which it is decided if you are part of a demographic that isn't already covered. For those who don't fit the bill, expect the message:
Your opinion is very important to us, but unfortunately we have had a strong response from people who share a similar profile to you… if this category opens again in the future we hope you remain interested in joining.
Apart from issuing polls and surveys, it also appears that there will be a user forum, although there are no details as to how that will work just yet. The only poll listed on the site is a short one related to Klout, which proves that it is still very early days for the research group.
Whether or not the fully-fledged version attracts the kind of insight the company is hoping for will determine whether this approach is adopted elsewhere around the world afterwards.

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Agricultural and environmental application of biopolymers and bioplastic blends is the current focus of research in the Biopolymer Research Unit at the USDA, National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research (NCAUR) in Peoria, Illinois. Polymeric materials with predictable properties and controlled performance are being developed by blending starch with other low-cost renewable polymers. Polymers like sugarcane-bagasse, citrus, and other plant wastes and residues have been utilized to produce wood adhesive, mulch films, packaging materials, biodegradable cast films, and melt extruded composites. Changes were assessed in the structure and properties of polymers in a complex matrix, and their environmental fate was evaluated, both in their native state and after various chemical, biological, or physical modifications. In particular, an overview will be presented to discuss the development of several such technologies including: (a) preparation, properties, and biodegradation of starch graft poly(methyl acrylate) loose-fill packaging foam, (b) development of a starch-PVOH crosslinked wood adhesive for use in interior wood construction, (c) development of starch-PVOH melt extruded films as well as cellulose- containing PVOH cast films for agricultural mulch application, and (d) melt extruded composite blends of crosslinked starch, PVOH, and cellulosic waste for developing graphic signs.

Visual Appeal vs. Functionality in Web Design
Good web design. A concept that has become indispensable over the last decade. We all want a website and we want that website to meet the most popular design standards out there. But how much success of a website can really be attributed to good design? And what else is there?
To answer that question, first we need to recognize that design is just as broad as it is popular. There is web design, visual design, graphic design, interaction design, interface design, and of course user experience design. So, it doesn't come as a surprise that there is a lot of confusion going on between these different fields.
For now, let's focus on what can be categorized as web design, visual design, or graphic design – the visual appeal of a website.
Visual appeal is what meets the eye. It's the colors, shapes, pictures, fonts, white- or negative space, and the overall visual balance of a design. Whether a website appeals to us affects how we perceive it, how we use it, and how we remember it.
Obviously, other design fields like interaction design also play an important role here – but that doesn't mean that visual appeal is any less powerful.
The Role of Visual Appeal in Web Design
Here are some examples of how the visual appeal contributes to the overall succes of a website.
1. Attract attention
Visual appeal can – more than anything – attract attention. This is key to getting your visitors engaged with your website. We like to look at pretty things and if we have the choice, we always prefer a pretty design or image above an ugly or neutral one. Of course, you need to know your target group well in order to know what they think is pretty.
The users' sight is guided effectively, using different visual cues.
The website of Angry Birds Space does a great job as using visual cues to attract attention. Immediately after loading the website, the visitors' sight is drawn to the big, shiny moon. From there, the line of sight continues to the bold letters "ANGRY BIRDS SPACE" and on to the image of the different bird characters. Then, a notification with the text "Scroll, grab, or use arrow keys to navigate" flies into the picture, offering simple instructions of how to navigate the site.
2. Creates a first impression
Our first impression when meeting someone face to face can affect our relationship with that person in the long term. It affects whether or not we like someone, if we think we can trust them, and if we intend to meet that person again. Basically, within only a few seconds – maybe minutes, we decide if we enjoy spending time with someone or not. Online, it's the same thing. Once a website has made negative first impression on us, chances are we will not enjoy our visit much or look forward to coming back. Changing this first impression later on can be tricky, because we are stubborn and don't like to admit we were wrong.
Pictures can express a lot of characteristics of a person, brand, or company.
The actress Anna Safroncik has a beautiful portfolio website. The power of the design lies in the expressive photography used to showcase Anna's talents and the different facets of her character. The pictures are very professional, sexy, elegant and sophisticated – and that's exactly the image you get of her.
3. Build relationships
Visual appeal can build relationships. If you visitors can identify with your website, you are a big step closer to building a long-term relationship with them. There is no need in saying how important this relationship with your visitors is. We like to define ourselves through our looks, our hobbies, our taste in music – and also through the kind of websites we use. Your could see it as a symbol of our lifestyle. If a site doesn't appeal to our us – or doesn't fit our identity – we are inclined to keep looking for other sites that do.
Visual appeal helps you to connect with your visitors.
With the project 1948 London, Nike "invited the world to celebrate, explore and interact with the art (…)". It's all about the science of feeling, featuring different forms of art. The website that came with this event is just as inviting, exciting, and emotional as the project itself. As visitor, you get drawn in and triggered to explore the site click by click. This is a great way to get people hooked – online and for the real-world happening.
4. Increase tolerance
Visual appeal is a quality itself. This can be a great advantage that you can use to cover other – less convenient aspects of your website. Obviously, it should be the ultimate goal to design and build the perfect website. At the same time, this is very difficult to achieve as there are many different pieces that contribute to the big picture. So ultimately, your website will be great in some way and there will be room for improvement in others. If your visual design is top edge, your visitors will be more forgiving for deficits in other areas.
Visual appeal can make your visitors more forgiving for deficits in other areas.
The Wired.co.uk website has two different versions. There is the official version with a very clean and rather standard blog layout. Then, there is an alternative version with a more creative and abstract layout. This version is called "the Wired mind" and is "a visualisation tool that provides another way to browse the content on Wired.co.uk." The Wired mind seems much less clear and therefore less structured at first. Also, it's somehow difficult to navigate, because menu items open automatically when you hover over them, but you have to close them manually in order to look at a different category. Still, this version looks much more personal, creative, and fun than the standard one. It's a lot more enjoyable to use.
5. Affects emotions
A picture is worth a thousand words. This phase is so true – especially when it comes to communicating on a more emotional level. Through pictures and other visual elements, you can convey feelings, such as joy and delight, sadness, or even pity. Visual appeal can awake memories and emotions like trust, comfort, hope, or self-confidence. And at the same time, you can create a sphere to draw visitors in and get them hooked.
Images and colors are very powerful to trigger emotions and convey feelings.
The Paypal website knows exactly what it takes to appeal to their visitors' emotions through visual design. They use lots of images that show personal and familiar settings to create a cozy and comfortable sphere. They use their logo and a cool, serious blue to convey trust. At the same time, they use a lot of other, subdued colors to also create a sphere that make people trust the brand.
The Technical stuff
We discussed the effects that visual appeal can have on your visitors. These can be very big and overwhelming, but also the small things contribute to how visitors perceive, use it, and remember your site.
Now, let's take a look at what else matters when designing and building a great website. Basically, we now look at the more technical aspects.
First of all, there is the technical framework of your site. No need to mention that – in order for your visitors to see and like it – your website has to work. That means, when visiting your domain, it has to show up. When clicking any link on your site, it has to work. When offering in any kind of interactions, those have to work, too.
A classic example of bad functionality is this 404 error. Something was technically not implemented correctly, causing the site to show an error message instead of the desired content.
Second, your website has to be findable. If people search the web for information, services or products they could find on your site, make sure they get there. Most people use search engines like Google to find stuff online. A good strategy for your search engine optimization (SEO) and maybe even advertising (SEA) is therefore a must.
Big brands like Starbuck usually have their SEO strategy in place for the most important keywords.
Third, ensure that your website is usable. This is where fields like interaction design and information architecture come into the picture. Involve your users in the design process and make sure you of exactly the content your users want – in a way that they can easily find it. This doesn't mean your design has to be boring or traditional all the time. As long as people can easily reach their goals – and obviously those differ for most websites – you are heading into the right direction.
C-ROOTS is an agency for identity, strategy and creativity, that offers a very out of the ordinary navigation menu. Yet, this site is very easy to navigate.
Last but not least, your website should be accessible across different operating systems and devices. In our mobilized world, users will at some point access your site from a mobile device. Be prepared and make sure they can still get to the information they need without getting annoyed or frustrated.
*The Boston Globe has chosen for a responsive design. This ensures a consistent experience across multiple devices. Especially for news site, this can be a great advantage as it means less maintenance and a much larger reach.
The takeaways
There you have it. The visual appeal contributes a lot to the overall quality of a website. So can you use visual appeal to:
- Attract attention
- Creates a first impression
- Build relationships
- Increase tolerance
- Affects emotions
At the same time, there are a lot of technical aspects that are critical for a successful website, such as:
- Functionality
- Findability
- Usability
- Accessibility
Only a combination of the above will assure that you and your visitors get the most out of your website – This is the foundation for a great user experience.

Legal Staff Are Critical To A Successful Case
Like a surgeon in the operating room, Family Lawyers can't do it all by themselves, they need support staff. The support staff for the attorney you hire is often as important as the attorney themselves. Generally there are two type of legal support staff: legal assistants and paralegals.
Legal assistants are sometimes called legal secretaries, however they have specialized training in basic legal process and document creation. Paralegals have extensive training (usually a 4 year degree) and experience in drafting complex legal documents, assist in preparing trial exhibits and assist during trial.
This is why at Rosengren, Kohlmeyer & Hagen, Law Office we believe that the paralegals and legal assistants play an important role in the case at the attorney. Here are a few of our staffers:

automatic transfer switch question
I'm in the process of wiring an automatic transfer switch for a standby generator. I'm just ready to start connecting the wires for the individual circuits from the main panel to the breakers in the transfer switch. I will move the hot wires and the neutrals to the transfer switch, but I don't believe there is any reason for me to move the individual ground wires over. If this is incorrect, let me know. Thanks.
Transfer switch
1 Attachment(s)
I've attached an image that might clarify things. I will connect the ground bus as shown, but I don't believe I need to pull the individual ground wires from the main panel over and attach them to the ground bus in the transfer switch, since that is grounded thru the main panel. Correct?

- too many PC games are nowadays nothing but expressions of machismo - Crysis, Call Of Duty, shooters in general you name them. Everything that requires brutality, war, and combat in order to proceed. This is nothing but a male thing. And perhaps this is the reason why there asre so few non-combat games on the PC nowadays (the Jump & Run genre has practically dies out; same goes for the Adventure games genre except in some backwater countries ).

What would you like to do?
Do you have to pay taxes on found money?
If you are in the US, technically that would be income and you'd have to file it under miscellaneous income, much like if it were gambling winnings.
Yes it is taxable - basically, increases in wealth are taxable. The "hidden hoard" is a famous tax case where someone bought a Piano and much latter found a hoard of $ in it. There were tax accounting issues as to the $...could they offset it by the cost of the Piano, did they actually "buy" the money when they bought the piano...etc....but the bottom line is...found value is taxable.

Does the person you babysat for have to pay taxes on that money?
Not if your are a self employed taxpayer and the other taxpayer has your social security number in order to get the tax credit for the child care expenses. If you are a self… employed taxpayer then you are responsible for all of your own FICA self employment taxes of 15.3% plus any income taxes on your net profit from your business operation at your marginal tax rate. You will need to report that income, and any related expenses, on Form 1040, Schedule C, Profit or Loss from Business, or you may qualify to use Form 1040, Schedule C-EZ, TO determine your Net Profit from Business. You will also need to use Form 1040, Schedule SE, Self-Employment Tax to compute and report your social security and Medicare tax. For instructions and forms go to www.irs.gov and use the search box for publication 334 a very good place to start with examples http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p334.pdf http://www.irs.gov/publications/p463/index.html Publication 463 Travel, Entertainment, Gift, and Car Expenses Use the search box at www.irs.gov for Small Business and Self-Employed Tax Center Filing Season Central is your one stop assistance center for filing your business returns.

Good records will help you ensure successful operation of your new business. You may choose any record keeping system suited to your business that clearly shows your income and expenses. Except in a few cases, the law does not require any special kind of records. However, the business you are in affects the type of records you need to keep for federal tax purposes. #7.

Forms 1099-MISC and more information is available below ANS PLEASE REVIEW THE PUBLICATION LINKED HERE: http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc756.html Whether a person is an employee or an independent contractor is complex. However each require reporting. In reality, the casual hiring of a local kid to babysit, is NOT a target, or even the intent, of the tax laws. If that kid. like some today, is actually entreprenaurially rnning a business, or if you hire them regularly, that is a different story.
Do you have to pay tax on money given to you?
If the money is given to you as a no-strings-attached gift, no. Money given to you by your employer or in exchange for goods or services is not a gift no matter what you agr…ee to call it.
Who do you pay taxes on prize money to?
You pay federal taxes to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). You pay state and local taxes to the state or local tax department. You would enter prizes on your year-end ta…x return just like you would enter wages (except on a different line) and then calculate the tax due and pay any balance due.
If you receive money from your grandparents do you have to pay tax?
No. They may have to pay gift tax. See discussions under that topic.
What is the maximum amount of money you can make without paying taxes?
This depends on your filing status and number of dependents. Sorry I couldn't give you an answer but I would need this information to give you a correct figure.
What if you have no money to pay your taxes?
You are legally required to pay taxes. Taxes are only due on money you have earned therefore if you owe taxes you have had the money. If you do not pay the taxes you owe you w…ill be sent to court and made to pay - even if you go to prison you will still owe the tax man.
When do you pay the taxes if you tax out money from a 401k?
You can have some income tax withheld from the distribution amount are you can choose to make some quartely estimated tax payments or you can wait until you file your income t…ax in the next year after the year that you receive the distribution amount by the due of your income tax for the previous year return and pay the full amount of taxes at that time. A calender year taxpayer the due date for filing and paying any amount owed would be April 15 of the next year
What is a tax that you pay on the money you earn?
To answer your question, the taxes you pay on the money you earn (salary, income) is called income tax.
Do you have to pay tax on money you save at home?
When you first get money, if it is from a taxable source, you pay tax on it no matter where you plan to keep the money. Just because you plan to keep it at home doesn't …make it exempt from tax. For example, if your employer pays you a salary, you have to pay taxes when you get your salary even if you plan on keeping it in your home. But if you just throw the money in a desk drawer or under your mattress, there is no additional tax for keeping it there and no additional tax for later removing it and spending it. Of course, if you spend it on something that is subject to sales tax, you have to pay sales tax whether you get the money from your home or from your bank. On the other hand, if you buy a home and a number of years later find that the previous owner had stashed a large amount of cash in the attic behind a loose board, the money that you found could be taxable if you keep it.
Do you pay taxes on restitution money?
Answer It depends...and the term gets used too many ways so lets use a more general way of understanding it: If the payment, regardless of it's name, is to r…eplace something you have lost, like property or a limb or such, then (as long as you have not deducted that loss as a casualty loss or any other way), it is NOT a taxable payment. If it is for just about anythign else, in lieu of money you didnt make or as a punishment for example, it is taxable to you.
Do you have to pay taxes on money you received in a car accident settlement?
General guidelines: If the money you receive is to replace taxable income - loss of wages, for example - then there is a taxable situation. (You would have paid tax on …the income had you received it normally). If the money is to pay for hospital bills, household assistance, auto repairs or replacements - basically things to restore you to where you were before the event, then there's no taxable event (assuming you didn't tryto take a deduction for the casualty loss - meaning you can't deduct a loss that you are reimbursed for, as no loss actually occurred).
Do i have to pay taxes on money you win at a casino?
In the U.S. the general answer is yes, legally you are supposed to pay tax on any casino winnings. That said, you can also deduct losses up to the amount of your winnings. You…r CPA should be able to give you more specific information.
When you make how much money do you have to pay tax?
Answer Understand that making money and having taxable income are different things...not all money you receive is considered taxable income. Additionally, ev…en with taxable income, because of many things, like deductions, credits and the very low tax on small earnings...you may not actually owe any tax. If you don't file a return, you will alwys be open to audit for that period...the statutate of limitiations on being audited basically runs from the time the return is filed. Anyone may file a return. It is generally a good idea for many reasons. Many people who may not have to file a return (generally because their earings are too low), will benefit substantially by doing so...because of the many government programs that provide benefits to those same people. IRS TAX TIP 2007-02 You must file a tax return if your income is above a certain level. The amount varies depending on filing status, age and the type of income you receive. For example, a married couple under age 65 generally is not required to file until their joint income reaches $16,900. However self-employed individuals generally must file a tax return if their net income from self employment exceeds $400. Check the ?individuals? section of the IRS Web site at IRS.gov or consult the instructions for form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ for specific details that may affect your need to file a tax return with IRS this year. Even if you do not have to file, you should file to get money back if Federal Income Tax was withheld from your pay, or you qualify for any of the following: ? Earned Income Tax Credit. The Earned Income Tax Credit is a federal income tax credit for eligible low-income workers. The credit reduces the amount of tax an individual owes, and may be returned in the form of a refund. ? Telephone Tax Refund. The telephone tax refund is a one-time payment available on your 2006 federal income tax return, designed to refund previously collected long-distance federal excise taxes. It is available to anyone who paid long-distance taxes on landline, cell phone or Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service. ? Additional Child Tax Credit. This credit may be available to you if you have three or more qualifying children or if you have one or two qualifying children and earned income that exceeds $11,300. The Additional Child Tax Credit may give you a refund even if you do not owe any tax. ? Health Coverage Tax Credit. Limited to certain individuals who are receiving certain Trade Adjustment Assistance, Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance, or pension benefit payments from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. For more information about filing requirements and your eligibility to receive tax credits, visit the IRS Web site at IRS.gov. See Related Links See the Related Link for "http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=105097,00.html" to the bottom for the answer.

I am really intrigued by the SR762. I love my SR556 and I think that Ruger has developed a fantastic AR platform, but it is hard for me to justify the expense of the 762. (Unless you're rich, which I'm not).
With my SR556, I can have all of the fun of a great AR for a lot less shooting money. I do like the .308 cartridge, but I think that I might stick with the GSR for my next rifle purchase instead of the SR762.
Maybe I'll hit the jackpot and I can buy both of them.

It seems to me that Ruger is shooting them selves in the foot (pun intended) by flooding the market with 308 variations.
First we get the GSR, which to me is my ideal hunting rifle. A mid-to upper price range rifle going out at $900+ each
Then they offer a cheapy, the American, in 308 for the $400 buyer (half-price specials of the GSR??)
Now along comes the AR version at $2100 to lure the top-end buyers. I want one very much.
I feel that the GSR is going to be absorbed by its Low-end AND Top-end competition within the Ruger Line. And that is a real shame.

Yes, there's certainly a different attitude up there. Lots of folks just don't understand why anyone would want a gun around, much less carry one.
That said, I absolutely love Nova Scotia and PEI. The food, the music, the breweries. And the people are very friendly and sociable. Had a great time up there last summer for the Royal Nova Scotian Tatoo and the Tall Ships festival in Halifax. The Maritime Museum there is excellent, too. I found the exhibition of the Explosion of 1917 especially interesting.

I'd be all over the brakes for fogs trade if I hadn't locked up a deal on some already! Good luck with the sale
No reasonable offers refused! I want this stuff gone.
I'll sell anything separately... Make me offers. Don't want to hang onto this stuff.
Still for sale.
Surprised no one has even messaged on the 10.1" stuff... I had to hunt for awhile to track my stuff down.
AS ABOVE Ken
Engine parts is a little vague... Can you be more specific? I don't have an oil filter flange, sorry.
Stuff still available... Help me finish my interior!
Prices lowered, make me offers. What is the worst I can say?
Want monies in PayPal, want completed interior... Help me, help you to help me!
Fogs acquired! Onto material for my interior! Help me out Foxers!
Only the loaded calipers still for sale.
If someone offered to pay shipping they can have the brakes, both my cars 10.1" now and I don't need them!
I really don't want to scrap them, they're brand new.
How much to ship to 01536??

Sidebottom to Ganga, OUT, gone! First baller! Sidebottom looked to swing it in to the right-handed Ganga who flicks the ball straight to Cook at short leg who pouches a good catch
D Ganga c Cook b Sidebottom 0 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Hoggard to Gayle, OUT, pitches just outside off, nips in towards middle and traps Gayle, who was going for the heave over midwicket, plumb on the back leg
CH Gayle lbw b Hoggard 28 (33m 24b 3x4 1x6) SR: 116.66
Sidebottom to Smith, OUT, an error of judgement there from Smith, who simply left the ball as it cut back in from off and takes the off stump
DS Smith b Sidebottom 4 (38m 26b 0x4 0x6) SR: 15.38
Sidebottom to Smith, OUT, ooh and again he flashes at this, high over the slips but that could have gone anywhere
DS Smith b Sidebottom 4 (38m 26b 0x4 0x6) SR: 15.38
Harmison to Morton, OUT, but Harmison has got his hat on, as Morton drives this meekly to Sidebottom at mid-off. A very tame dismissal indeed, and Morton glares warily at the pitch as though "stopped" on him. But he only has himself to blame
RS Morton c Sidebottom b Harmison 6 (47m 24b 1x4 0x6) SR: 25.00
Hoggard to Bravo, OUT, and the pressure gets to him! A touch shorter from Hoggard, Bravo tries to pull it extravagantly but drags it onto his stumps
DJ Bravo b Hoggard 44 (124m 97b 6x4 0x6) SR: 45.36
Sidebottom to Samuels, OUT, Samuels thought it was going to go across him, but he exposed his leg stump and Sidebottom bowls him around his legs
MN Samuels b Sidebottom 19 (79m 64b 3x4 0x6) SR: 29.68
Sidebottom to Ramdin, OUT, what a fine piece of bowling that is and a superb catch from Collingwood at second slip. Angled across him, the ball then cut back a touch to Ramdin who tried to punch it off the back foot but could only edge it to Collingwood who took it in front of his face
D Ramdin c Collingwood b Sidebottom 13 (27m 22b 2x4 0x6) SR: 59.09
Harmison to Powell, OUT, good grief. What a dreadful shot that is. A touch wider of the off stump and Powell tries to pull it, but skies it to Prior behind the stumps who steadies himself to take a comfortable catch

When Andy Carroll left Liverpool for West Ham last year, Sam Allardyce assured the striker that he would taste European action again.
With the Hammers seventh in the Premier League, Carroll senses that his managers's promise will come true. But while Europa League is the realistic aim for now, the England international is thinking bigger than that — much bigger.
For Carroll is convinced that once West Ham move into the Olympic Stadium in the summer of 2016 they will be fighting for a Champions League place. The switch from 35,000-capacity Upton Park to the 54,000-seat ground in Stratford will strengthen West Ham's financial muscle, and Carroll is sure the club will capitalise by playing alongside the cream of Europe.
"When I first signed for the club the manager said this team could get into the top six and into Europe, and I can see the plan coming together now — it is not out of the question," said Carroll, who played in the Europa League with Liverpool.
"With the players we have I can't see any reason why we can't do that. We could definitely play in the Champions League in the new stadium. The quality is there, and with the new stadium coming we have everything else going for us."
After facing a relegation battle for most of last season, the Hammers hierarchy demanded a more entertaining team this term, and Allardyce has not let them down. The summer signings of Enner Valencia, Diafra Sakho and Alex Song have transformed West Ham's play and Carroll is itching to join them after being plagued by injury again.
He missed the majority of last season with a heel problem and then damaged ankle ligaments on the club's pre-season tour to New Zealand. After undergoing surgery in America, Carroll was expected to be out until December but has made a speedy recovery and could return at the start of next month.
Five questions for West Ham boss Sam Allardyce during the international break
Five questions for West Ham boss Sam Allardyce during the international break
1/5 Where's best for Stewart Downing?
Despite nine signings last summer, Stewart Downing's resurgence has proven the most remarkable aspect of West Ham's return to attacking football. But where's best for the former Liverpool man? He started the season on the right flank. His wonder goal in the win over Palace showed his ability to cut inside effectively onto his left foot, but arguably West Ham's two most impressive performances came in the unfortunate defeat away to Manchester United and the victory over Liverpool – with Downing operating in an advanced central role. Only Wayne Rooney's petulance managed to keep him at bay at Old Trafford after all, and with Carl Jenkinson and Aaron Cresswell offering ample width from the full-back positions, Downing could be the man in the middle for the foreseeable future.
2/5 Should Nolan or Noble return to the starting line-up?
Before suffering calf and pelvic injuries respectively, Mark Noble and Cheikhou Kouyate were forming an impressive partnership in the heart of West Ham's midfield. Since then, Barcelona loanee Alex Song has stepped up having regained full fitness – offering the Hammers the luxury of a resolute core with deep-lying creativity. Noble and Kouyate could both return in time for the clash against Burnley, and could comfortably sit alongside the Cameroonian to create an imposing midfield trio. That would surely only leave one central slot for an attacking midfielder: Nolan or Downing. Right now, there's no debate who should be given the nod.
3/5 How can we build winning momentum?
West Ham are yet to record back-to-back league victories this season, but with Burnley next on the menu, it would seem as good a time as any for the Hammers to make amends. That said, Sean Dyce's side found their scoring boots last time out to claim a 2-2 draw with Leicester City, but with James Tomkins and Winston Reid starting to form a solid bond in the Hammers backline West Ham can afford to go for the jugular at Turf Moor.
4/5 Has Diafra Sakho closed the door on Andy Carroll?
Still some way from a full recovery, Andy Carroll's return to training – albeit mainly running – nonetheless raises an age-old question: Do West Ham really need him? Since arriving at Upton Park, firstly on loan, the England striker has scored nine league goals in 39 appearances. Injuries can't be helped, but at £15million his return does not represent value for money. However, Diafra Sakho does. The Senegalese striker has bagged four league goals in five matches so far (five in six appearances in all competitions) and while he may not quite match Carroll's height, he's no slouch at over 6 ft. Reports have linked Carroll with a move away from Upton Park in the January transfer window, but with Sakho expected to travel with the Senegal squad for the African Cup of Nations, any departure would seem premature. That said, with Mauro Zarate and Enner Valencia also impressing since joining the club summer, Carroll's situation should become much clearer by July.
5/5 Can West Ham take adavantage of Manchester City's Russian roulette?
14 goals conceded, one goal scored… West Ham simply hated playing Manchester City last season. But Sam Allardyce loves a challenge, and having already beaten Liverpool at Upton Park this season, he'll be quietly confident going into the City match come October 25. Perhaps key to the fixture is that City face CSKA Moscow in Russia just four days before their trip to London, and just three days after Tottenham visit the Etihad. With Manuel Pellegrini demanding victory in Europe to get their Champions League hopes back on track, while wanting to field a full-strength side against Spurs, their fixture with West Ham might fall off the radar somewhat. If it does, the new-look Hammers can certainly capitalise on it.
He knows he faces a battle to win back his place in the team given that Valencia and Sakho have been a revelation. The pair even got him jumping around his private box during the recent 3-1 victory over Liverpool, and he hopes they will continue to feature on the scoresheet as he moves closer to a first-team return.
"I don't mind a battle, and every team needs competition for places," said the 25-year-old. "That is one of the things we have here — everyone is fighting for their place.
"It has been mixed emotions for me watching the team this season. I am desperate to be out there on the pitch but I remember the Liverpool game when I was jumping up and down watching from the box. I think I did enough work for that day on my ankle!
"I know I've had problems with injuries and I'm not hiding away from that. Hopefully this is the last one and I can get it out of the way. The club have put a lot of faith in me, paying so much money, but I don't feel like I've let them down. It's an injury that I couldn't help."
Despite reports over the weekend that Newcastle are planning a January bid to bring Carroll back to his hometown club, he says he is fully committed to West Ham and cannot wait to play at the Olympic Stadium.
"It looks fantastic and everyone is looking forward to being there. We cannot wait to be a part of it. It's going to be one of the best grounds around — both the inside and outside look fantastic.
"We went in there when we first got it and it was empty, and it still looked great. I can only imagine what it will be like when it is full with all the fans."Reuse content

Does the Focus just have low mpg?
I used to have a 2006 cobalt coupe base model, and when I wrecked it I got a 2013 focus base. Both have roughly the same # of gears, are standard, amount of hp. is equal, and the power to weight is about the same (did the math). However I could drive like a dick with a 2.2 L and get 38 mpgs on average, and mid 50's when I tried. Now with a salvage title it gets 33 mpg with dented fender and sides, in town. Dents make it get 31 on highway. (miss the econ gauge and oil life meter which worked of the number engine revolutions) My new focus is nowhere near that which i will admit to the break in but drive the same way. What I want to know is that will driving the same with a standard get me less or more for results of mpg? I mean if a car with a bigger direct injection engine of the same weight can get better mpg where did ford go wrong?
Why would you expect anywhere close?
The 5 speed is rated 35mpg strictly highway. I wouldn't think much better would be possible without a change in driving habits.
I get mid 40s on a regular basis and I am NOT an eco-conscious driver.
Fuelly data: http://www.fuelly.com/car/chevrolet/cobalt/2006
Your mileage on the Focus should improve after the break in period though. Give it a few thousand.
Me and a friend drove to the city here while back we each took our own cars he has a 08 cobalt LT and my 2012 Focus SEL both driving the speed limit when we got to the city we both fueled up at the same gas station and he was getting 28 mpg and i was getting 39 mpg.
So i don't understand how your cobalt could have been doing so much better.
maybe everywhere he drives is downhill?
where are you getting your mpg's from? Sounds like your just reading what your computer is telling you in the car. Which in my experience GM cars over inflate this number big time.
to get accurate fuel mileage you need to fill your tank, reset your trip odometer. Then drive. On your next fill up you take the miles driven and divide by the gallons put into the tank and that gives you REAL WORLD MPG'S!
This is just about the only way to get an accurate number regarding fuel economy.

CNN buries the lede six feet under
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
I continue to be amazed at how the press is covering, or not covering, the latest poll results from the Washington Post/ABC, which tag Obama's job approval rating at an eye-popping 65 percent. The results completely muck up the preferred Beltway CW about how Obama's struggling in the polls and losing touch with Americans.
ABC News itself seems to have no interest in dwelling on the good-news-for-Obama polling data.
And neither does CNN. In a write-up about the survey, CNN.com never even mentions the 65 percent job approval rating. The finding is literally of no interest to CNN, which instead emphasizes that a "Slight majority approves of Obama's handling of Iran":
As the aftermath of the Iranian election continues to unfold, a new national survey out Monday shows a slim majority of Americans approve of how President Obama is handling the situation there.
And BTW, CNN's "slight" is false. According to the Washington Post/ABC poll, Americans by a wide margin of 52-36 approve of Obama's handling of the situation in Iran. "Slight" is nowhere to be found.
UPDATE: The Times of London today writes up yet another "honeymoon over" article pegged on polling data, yet somehow manages to avoid mentioning the latest national survey from Washington Post/ABC News which shows Obama's approval rating at an extraordinary 65 percent.

Tupac On Broadway, Ya Hear Me?
Tupac Shakur's music doesn't, on the face of it, seem like Broadway material. The rapper who died 18 years ago at age 25 became one of hip-hop's most iconic figures for his lyrics about African Americans and society.
But his songs inspired the new musical Holler if Ya Hear Me, which opened on Thursday at the Palace Theatre. And many of them, like "Unconditional Love," "Dear Mama," "Life Goes On" or "California Love," could have been in a conventional Broadway show.
The story is not about Tupac's life. It's about a group of African American friends who struggle with issues like gun violence, crime and reintegration in society after prison. Poet and actor Saul Williams plays a Tupac-like character and Kenny Leon, who just won a Tony for A Raisin in the Sun, directs. It was written by Todd Kreidler.
Elisabeth Vincentelli, theater critic of the New York Post, said she thought Holler works well. "They picked a pretty traditional story, trying to get out of the game, and fighting against the forces that keep you down, it's a tearjerker," she said.
Actor Saul Williams (top) and the cast of Holler if Ya Hear Me (Joan Marcus)
Hip-hop is not a regular feature on Broadway, even though it has dominated many other aspects of American culture, from fashion to movies to visual art. One of the few exceptions was In The Heights, which won the Tony for best musical in 2008.
But Adam Feldman, theater critic of Time Out New York, said it's not much of a stretch to think about rappers on Broadway. "A lot of these hip-hop artists, including Tupac Shakur, do have backgrounds or futures in theater and in acting," he said. "It's not a coincidence that Ice-T and Ice Cube and Queen Latifah have gone on to acting careers."
Tupac went to the Baltimore School for the Arts, where he studied acting and dance.
Still, Feldman acknowledged that Broadway has been slow in embracing hip-hop. "Broadway is, as a general rule, fairly backward looking," he said. Vincentelli agreed, and wondered why 8 Mile, the 2002 movie featuring rapper Eminem, has not been a musical yet. She said she wouldn't be surprised if hip-hop movies become the next generation of adaptations on Broadway.

I had the privilege of being a mentor to twin girls for eight years. We enjoyed many "firsts" together -- simple things like baking cookies and going to the county fair. I was sad when they moved to Alaska with their family but overjoyed when they came back to visit four years later and said that they want to stay connected.
Being a mentor is one of those things you do where you might never know the impact on the lives of others as well as your own.
Previous Stories
As a mentor for more than 8 years with this great nonprofit, I had a wonderful opportunity to spend time with twin girls whose family included a single Mom and several brothers and sisters. Was amazing to experience so many firsts with them -- going to a county fair, a ballgame and baking cookies. In the process, I learned about how much we take for granted and how a little time can make a big difference in the lives of others.
I've been a mentor with Kids 'n Kinship for 10 years. It's a great feeling to know that a small investment of time pays amazing dividends in the life of my mentee. I've seen her grow from a shy 8-year old with very little self-confidence into a lovely young lady who is mature, applies herself in school, and dreams of going to college. The best part is that she and I spend time together doing the silliest and easiest of things: we go for walks, scrapbook, and even draw on my driveway with chalk just for fun. Spending time with her is a highlight of my week, takes very little effort, and is just plain fun. This organization is important for kids like my mentee who are looking for a positive adult role model. I'm grateful that Kids 'n Kinship supports our match and gives us opportunities to spend time together by providing free events and suggestions for activities.
We have been mentoring through Kids-n-Kinship for almost 15 years. Our first experience was with a 9 year old young man who came from a single parent home with no male role model. We invested in his life (and he in ours) for 12 years. Most of our time together was simply including him in all our family activities. We encouraged him during his difficult times in school and let him know how much we cared for him. The Kids-N-Kinship coordinators were always there as a resource to us whenever we needed guidance for any situations that needed to be addressed. Our mentee is now 24 and has since moved to another state as is working for a law firm. We still keep in contact with him and spend time together whenever he comes back to our neck of the woods! We are now mentoring two young brothers who also come from a single parent home and need guidance to navigate through the environment that surrounds them. Kids-'N-Kinship has been a wonderful organization to work with. Their outreach to the community and program support for mentee/mentor matches has been awesome! They also have plenty of fun things to do with your mentee(s) by providing tickets for sporting events, recreational activities, educational trips , and great ideas on how to interact with and support your mentee. I can't say enough about our positive experience with this organization.....
My experience with Kids nKinship, is a good one . I saw the information about the orgianation
At my health clinic. I was a little bit hesitant to call for more info because I had never been an mentor before. When I gathered enough confidence to call, I talked to Ingrid, she gave me more information and we had set a date and a place to meet. There was paperwork I needed to start the ball rolling. When it got rolling, I hopped on. The staff at Kids nKinship are great, whenever had a question about being a mentor. I mentored an individual for over 2 years and I learned a lot about myself and learned a lot from my mentee. Right now I am doing volunteering for Kids n Kinship. The program helps kids and the community and when I am able to mentor again, I will be first in line.
Kids N Kinship is such a great organization. I started volunteering when my kids were teenagers and I had more free time on my hands..I was matched with a shy 11 year-old named Ashley who turned out to one of the best things I've ever done for myself and my family. Kinship really did a great job in matching us up, it was like a perfect match from the start and our friendship has now lasted 18 years and that shy little girl has turned out to be part of our family. Kinship made it easy with outings to do fun things together, they always were a great support if you needed anything, just can't say enough good things about this organization and the people that run it. Shelley Nordling
I served as a mentor and was matched with an 11 year old boy through Kids n' Kinship. We were matched together until he reached adulthood. The organization provided us with guidance and support from beginning to end. I like to think being matched together made a difference in a boy's life and helped him develop into the young man he is today. Kids n' Kinship provides that same support for scores of children in need of an adult friend every year.
I have been associated with Kids 'n Kinship for over 25 years.; as a mentor and later a long-time board member. I have seen so many wonderful friendships grow through the careful matching of mentee and mentor in the program. Many, many youth have benefited from a caring adult helping them navigate the rocky road through adolescence.
I had the wonderful experience of being a volunteer with Kids 'N Kinship for 15 years!
"Kinship" is a great organization that carefully and thoughtfully pairs mentors with kids in need of an adult role model. They are very well organized and have a fabulous, experienced staff. The organization goes out of its way to provide all the coaching and help needed to make these relationships a rewarding experience for both the mentor and mentee.
I would HIGHLY recommend Kids 'N Kinship!!!
They do excellent work! Organized, they follow up, great staff to work with. They believe in what they do! They really make a difference in the lives of mentors, and mentees.
We were matched with a child for 6 years, and it was a very positive experience for both of us!
Kids 'n Kinship does a good job making sure that the matches are appropriate for both parties and that the ongoing relationship is well maintained and valuable. Their staff follows up on tasks and is professional in their contact and activities. I would recommend this organization to anyone that is looking to make a difference in the life of a child.

Iran determined to continue with nuclear development plans despite US concerns
Tehran said on Sunday it will not give up its nuclear development plans, including uranium enrichment, despite international pressure to prove it is not developing atomic weapons.
Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said: "Abandoning nuclear activities or enrichment is not something that Iran is ready to compromise on."
The Iranian leadership claims its nuclear program is aimed at producing electricity from atomic power to satisfy growing demand. Asefi added: "We have been transparent. We have said we're not seeking to produce weapons of mass destruction."
On Saturday, US President George W. Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the Iranian issue. Putin said a "clear but respectful signal" should be sent to Iran about the need to cooperate with the IAEA over its nuclear facilities.
On his part, Bush called on Tehran to come clean on its nuclear programs and said "it is in our national interests to make sure that Iran does not develop a nuclear weapon." (Albawaba.com)

The Voice & Velopharyngeal Dysfunction Center at Boston Children's Hospital is a subspecialty clinic in the Department of Otolaryngology and Communication Enhancement.
Voice disorders in children are commonly referred to with descriptive terms such as "hoarseness", "raspy voice" and "weak and breathy voice." A child's voice disorder may significantly impair a child's intelligibility, either by itself or in combination with a speech and articulation difficulty. We fully evaluate children with voice disorders and/or disorders of the velopharyngeal closure.
We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the third year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them. Thanks to you, Boston Children's is a place where we can write the greatest children's stories ever told."
