Woe and opportunity: Tales from historic drought : "The United States is in the midst of the worst drought in decades, and the dry weather and soaring temperatures are taking a toll on people living and working in Ohio west to California and Texas north to the Dakotas. Farmers have watched their corn wither and their cattle go hungry. Homeowners have seen their lawns turn brown and gardens wilt. Communities in the Midwest that rarely experience water shortages have enacted restrictions, and businesses are looking for ways to stay afloat as sales fall off. Here are a few of their stories." Thanks to Gwen C for the link.
Ryan On Guns : "It's a good record. He has been both rated A and endorsed by the NRA-PVF going back to at least 2002."
Folks as I've said here before "only white folks can be racist" at least according to the media and other liberal groups. Take this guy for example, he is telling black folks that they need to learn to shoot so they can kill more white folks during a race war. What if that was a white guy saying the same thing about blacks?

Professor Mark Alexander: Putting Vision into Action on the Obama Campaign Trail
"We changed the way politics works," is how Professor Mark Alexander described Barack Obama's groundbreaking campaign, in which Prof. Alexander played a key role in then-Senator Obama's bid for the Presidency. As Obama's appointed policy director, Prof. Alexander mobilized teams to develop the positions and recommendations that would transform America, meeting our nation's formidable challenges in such areas as international relations, health care, education and the environment.
In early June 2009, Prof. Alexander spoke to members of Newark Regional Business Partnership, sharing with them insights that they might apply to their own organizations. Here's his overview:
Respect. Empower. Include: "In building a policy team both inside and outside the campaign, we needed to build on the organizing principles at the heart of our effort. We needed experts in the policy fields who 'embodied the creed'— who shared Senator Obama's vision of the future – to develop visionary policies that would drive his campaign. I set up a pyramid structure. We recruited committee leaders, some of the nation's best-known experts in these areas, and they recruited their colleagues and mobilized volunteers from among academia, commerce, advocacy organizations and legislative bodies, from local city councils to the national Senate. We requested white papers laying out their ideas, we set basic parameters on format, and we let them fly. What transpired was a nationwide cross-pollination of ideas and points of view. I saw the power of the pyramid when it's founded on trust. You can pass the power down and succeed. When every stakeholder has a voice, and when team members can take action and make decisions, they become owners, fully invested in the campaign and its outcome."
Put the right people in the right place: "When you're harnessing a group of volunteers you need to capitalize on each person's strengths and compensate for the liabilities. While the committee leader was the visionary to drive policy ideas, we assigned each an administrator, someone we called a 'convener,' who pushed the project forward: scheduling calls, following up on the meetings, checking in with 'headquarters' and turning the brainstorming into a finished product. My team monitored each policy committee's progress, and where it seemed that momentum was flagging – meetings were not scheduled, commitments might not be met – we stepped in with logistical support to bolster their efforts and keep the project on track."
Challenge your people to do things they have never done before: "Once the policy work was done, we'd amassed nearly 1,000 dedicated Obama supporters. Now we needed to move away from 'thinking' and into the hands-on work that makes or breaks a campaign: knocking on doors, asking friends for money, making cold calls to voters. We scheduled conference calls with Senator Obama, to include and inspire them. And we made simple requests, like asking: 'Hey can you come to Iowa for a few days?' We didn't expect the next wave: committees began competing with each other about how much money they'd raised, or about the numbers of calls they made. We heard about a few policy folks who packed up their kids and spent their school breaks in New Hampshire. I think what drove them is how committed they were to the cause, but it was amazing to watch leading scholars turn into some of the best canvassers I'd ever seen."
Find the best tools to do your job and mobilize the people who know how to use them: "When the books analyzing our campaign come out, you'll see entire chapters devoted to Obama campaign's use of the online forums, from our interactive Web site to the email blasts to Facebook and Twitter. We sought out young people who interact every day through those utilities and we followed their lead when we asked them, 'How do we make this work?' We respected and empowered them to find creative new solutions. And you saw the results." "The Obama campaign did not emerge overnight; it was built over several years. We gave the campaign the underpinnings that drive our nation's best organizations. Looking back over the past two years, thinking of the principles and priorities of Barack Obama, I am honored to have been part of an effort that is transforming not just politics, but our government."

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
I am assuming that since you lost the suit and had a judgement filed against you, that you could not prove that you have made a loan. You did not have a loan contract nor were you paid periodically principle and interest. Is this correct?
You can write off the loan as bad debt if
There must be a true relationship between the creditor and the debtor if you lend money to someone. You must have bona fide documents showing the debtor's obligations towards your money. The main intention is to determine that you have lent money to be repaid, and not as a gift. The document can contain details of
If you have already recorded the amount in your income or loaned out your cash, bad debt can be deductible in income tax.
To write off non-business bad debt in tax return, it must be totally worthless in that year. Unlike business bad debts, partially worthless non-business bad debts are non-deductible.
The loss is taken as short term capital loss on Sch D.
yes, my friends business. $30k loan.
The loss is then offset against other capital gain first then at $3000 per year which can be carried back 3 years by amending returns or forward
If you are audited, you would have to prove the debt was a loan.
Hopefully this answers you question. If so, please accept so that I receive credit and leave a comment if you would like.
Do you have any further questions?
I paid the judgement in full, can I use this paperwork? I do not have any loan paperwork, just a handshake agreement.
If the judgement states that it was a loan. My thought is the judgement was issued against you because the court determined it was not a loan. There could be other reasons. What was the reason why they were able to come after you?
I had ownership in another business that we were partners and they tied both together. My amount was tiny compared with the other judgements.
My partner had mixed some of the banking accounts, that where they tied together.
Sounds like no hope for a write-off
Do you still operate the business or a business?
closed several years ago
When was the judgement entered and when was it paid? What year?
Was the judgement amount tied to the loan repayment amount at all?
entered in 2008, paid in 2009
no, the loan was $20k and judgement was negotiated at $30k
So, this was a settlement not a judgement?
yes, sorry that is correct
In my opinion, the settlement of a dispute tied to business dealings is not punitive in nature and would qualify as a business expense. Since the business has closed this is a business expense ongoing after the closing of the business and where it is deducted depends on what business structure you operated. Was your business and LLC, S Corp, Corp, Sole Prop, or Partnership?
S Corp
Did you get a K-1?
Who paid tax on the S Corps profit?
no profit, the business was a new entity and operated for less than 2 years
Who took the loss?
An S corp issued K-1s to the owners always.
the business ran out of money and nothing was filed, plus the law suit etc
OK. Past the fact that they should have been filed. The expense is best taken on 1040 Sch E pg 2 as an unreimbursed partnership expense.
ok thank you

Post Sponsored by Sandals Resorts and Beaches Resorts

Like destination weddings, destination bachelorette parties are becoming more and more popular – and for good reason. What could be more fun than taking a trip with your best girlfriends to celebrate your upcoming nuptials? We asked Marsha-Ann Brown, Director of Romance for Sandals Resorts and Beaches Resorts for her best tips on planning the ultimate girls' getaway.
What factors should bridesmaids consider when choosing a location for a destination bachelorette party?
With friends and family spread all over, sometimes picking a location for a bachelorette party that's on neutral territory makes the most sense. For example, if your cousins are from New York and your college friends from Texas, you might decide to meet somewhere like Atlantic City, or you might even invite everyone to jet off to an exotic location like South America or the Caribbean. Also, keep in mind the interests of the bride. Does she love to shop, sight see, party non-stop, or relax? Pick a destination that offers the activities and attractions you know she will enjoy most. Budget can also be a big factor in determining what works best for everyone, and a helpful hint is to keep the weather at the destination in mind when picking a location.

text: It seems like over the last month or so that a few issues have come up when we record off of Directv. 1. On one of the TiVo/Directv setups, we always get the screen that says to press EXIT to tell it that you want SD. This one is set up with an HD TV and also a SD TV. 2. Also, when watching the SD TV, the HD TV needs to be on if you are watching pay TV or the SD TV goes totally black. 3. The other is a TiVo/Directv setup where there is only an HD TV. The TV must be on when recording from pay TV or the recording is totally black.


text: Jan 20, 2012 - Love this product. Ive used Deva Curl No Poo in the past and it works well but I find since my hair is colored blonde Deva Care no-poo is a bit more moisturizing. I love that its creamy but not thick and heavy. Just enough to smooth around and lift off build up. Once I wash this out my scalp feels refreshed and clean. My hair is so soft and hydrated. I am big fan of this product. Wish they would lower the price a little though.

Very cool heavy.
Dammit Heavy, I am starting to get the Mod bug back again thanks to you!
I am really looking forward to see what the final version looks like, this is awesome.
The finished version should look just like stock except for the addition a few switches on the front panel.
I Went over to visit Heavy today and had a full blown demo of the FrankenRadio and it really does what he said. Really cool.

Background to the Battle of Bong Son
The South Vietnamese Army's 22nd Division had been in pursuit of the North Vietnamese Army's 3rd Division (2nd, 18th, and 22nd Regiments) in the Iron Triangle. As the North Vietnamese Army suddenly stopped and fought back hard, the commander of the 22nd Division, General Nguyen Thanh Sang asked for reinforcements by two South Vietnamese Army's airborne battalions, which still were not enough. Then, the US 1st Cavalry Division, an airmobile unit of divisional strength commanded by Major General Harry Kinnard, was sent to assist.
The Battle of Bong Son began on January 28, 1966, when the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Cavalry Division, commanded by Colonel Moore, secured Bong Son airstrip, and then probed at the enemy, opening his serious operations in the area. Harry Kinnard had established base "Dog", on high ground along Highway 1. With as much stealth as possible, he moved part of his command into blocking positions at the north end of the plain. The plan was for Kinnard's forces in the neighboring valleys, along with South Vietnamese units, to force the Communists to fall back.
The US 1st Cavalry attacked the 22nd regiment of the North Vietnamese Army's 3rd Division from three directions. As this four-day fight wound down, Kinnard moved the US 2nd Brigade into the mountains at the An Lao valley, and the 3rd Brigade to the south end, where they were covered by artillery. United States Marines pressured the enemy force in the valley, while the South Vietnamese General Sang blocked the exists. This operation was of limited effect, as the enemy had moved into the jungle and mountains.
A reinforced battalion made a night air assault on the beaches east of Hoa Hoi and moved into the encirclement, with illumination from an AC-47 gunship, artillery, and the destroyer USS Uhlmann. The enemy was hit heavily by 105-millimetre (4.1 in) artillery fire from the Cavalry's helicopter-lifted howitzers, and helicopters operated at night in fire support, supply, medical evacuation roles. AA B-52 strike also was made on the suspected 2nd Regiment command post, with limited results.
On 10 February, the 1st Cavalry's 1st Brigade, commanded by Archie R. Hyle, flew from An Khe into the Kim Son valley. Then, the American commander flew an air assault onto the valley floor, only after company-size ambush forces were astride the exits of the valley. Contact was made with Communist forces on every one of the escape routes, and they took casualties both from the ambushing companies and the prepared artillery, the latter including heavy, long-range artillery moved by road into the area. A captured VC battalion commander talked enough about his unit for Kinnard to find the North Vietnamese 2nd regiment headquarters, in an area that became known as the "Iron Triangle". 2nd Brigade (Colonel Ray Lynch, commanding) committed to this area, and fought a two-week battle, along with Colonel Moore's 3rd Brigade.

PIRATES 12, CARDINALS 2: Bucs' offense breaks out
PITTSBURGH — Pedro Alvarez mashed two home runs that traveled an estimated 831 feet Friday night.
It was a series of sprints by the burly Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman, however, that ignited a 12-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.
Alvarez broke open a close game in the sixth by beating out a potential double play, followed it up with the fifth stolen base of his career and then scored with a deft slide around St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina's tag that gave the Pirates the momentum they needed to pull away.
"I thought the stolen base was key," manager Clint Hurdle said. "He puts a lot of focus on running the bases and he's arguably one of our best baserunners when he's on."
Alvarez's left arm slid across the plate a split second before one of the game's best defensive catchers could nab him. The Cardinals imploded from there as Shelby Miller continued to struggle against Pittsburgh.
Miller fell to 0-5 with a 5.92 ERA against the Pirates in his brief career after tying a career high by allowing five runs in 5 1-3 innings. The right-hander is 16-5 with a 2.34 ERA in his 33 other major league appearances.
"It's not the park. It's not the team. I just pitched poorly today," Miller said. "I guess it just lines up that way where I don't pitch well when I face them."
Travis Ishikawa added his first major league home run in nearly two years for Pittsburgh. Gerrit Cole (1-0) gave up two runs in seven innings in his first start since losing the deciding Game 5 of the NL division series to St. Louis last October.
Six months removed from a taut NLDS that pushed the eventual NL champions to the brink of elimination, the Pirates sent an early message they have no plans of going away.
Cole, 23, is considered the ace in waiting after a stellar rookie season in which he was arguably Pittsburgh's best pitcher over the final six weeks. Cole kept the Cardinals in check by mixing a fastball that consistently reaches the upper 90s with improved offspeed stuff.
He also showcased some of his maturity, working out of a bases loaded situation in the fourth by getting Jhonny Peralta to fly out. His only mistake came in the fifth when Carpenter drilled a shot into the right field stands to pull the Cardinals to 3-2. Otherwise he teamed with catcher Russell Martin to keep St. Louis in check.
"I think it was just a really well-played ballgame on our part," Cole said. "I can't say enough about what Russ did behind the plate. Not sure there are any other catchers in the entire world that could handle what I threw at him tonight."
Pittsburgh's offense — which mustered all of 20 hits in 35 innings of a season-opening series against the Chicago Cubs — made sure it didn't stay close for long after pounding out 16 hits in eight innings against the NL Central favorites.
Alvarez began the year in a 1-for-15 slump but ended that with a home run to the gap in left-center for his first home run of the season. He added his second two innings later with a long drive to right-center that traveled an estimated 448 feet.
The series continues tonight. Right-hander Joe Kelly will make his season debut for the Cardinals against Pittsburgh left-hander Francisco Liriano.

Brave Song, Angel Beats!
Memorable Seiyuu Performances:
Kana Hanazawa
This year is truly her year. Not only did she got multiple roles each season, she also did quite a lot of OVA's and movies as well, so there was no shortage of my enjoyment of her voice this year. Some of her standout roles this year for me were Amano Touko (Bungaku Shoujo), Kurashita Tsukimi (Kuragehime), Sonohara Anri (Durarara!!) and of course, Kuroneko (Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii wake ga nai).
Yuuki Aoi
Despite a limited repertoire, Yuuki Aoi sure has a really moe voice that she can skillfully handle for maximum HNNNNGGGH as well as enough range to be versatile enough to be pigeonholed in a certain role. Her most standout role this year to me was Korone (Ichiban Ushirou Daimaou), but maximum HNNNGGGH was achieved as Yagyuu Jubei (Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls). Next year looks set to be her year as well, with two main voicing roles already confirmed for next season.
Itou Shizuka
Morishima Haruka, 'nuff said.
Toyosaki Aki
She's been slowly discarding that "airhead" character type her voice seems to fit the most and gave some really great performances at the later half of this year, such as Momo Belia Deviluke (Motto To-LOVE-ru), Chaos (Sora no Otoshimono Forte) and Bonbori (Otome Youkai Zakuro). Still, she does manage to be really annoying when she tries, like as Hyakka Ryouran's Kanetsugu Naoe
Satomi Arai
She's been slowly getting roles back after that craziness of Kuroko in Railgun and this year we've been hearing her quite a lot. Aside from Kuroko, her turn as the narrator in Ookami was about the only thing that kept me from dropping that show like a rock. And her turn as Hata in Seitokai was pretty hillarious as well. While not a lot of people will like her husky voice, I'm still a fan of her because of how she manages to use her voice for maximum hillarity.
Tomatsu Haruka
I can't say she's been really active this year, but she's on this list for one reason, Princess Hitei (Katanagatari). And she's also had a prominent role as Sakana-chan (STAR DRIVER), not to mention contributing to a pretty popular insert song as well.
Well, that wraps up my highlights of this year.
This is mostly from anime actually, because if I included other media, I'm not gonna finish any time soon.
My hopes for next year:
- Stop with the imouto-moe shit
- Magica Madoka to be actually decent.
- More original anime titles
- Enough time to watch shit since I'm going to be a working member of society already.
That's all.

Kurogane no Linebarrels 19
Heh, finally resolved Kouichi and Yajima's awkward relationship. At the least the love polygon with Risako, Kouichi, Yajima and Kizaki is finally out of a deadlock state. Too bad for poor Miu though.
Also it seems that the game that Hisataka's been playing all this while in the series was a 'present' left by Ishigami. He really loves to screw people around, doesn't he? This episode also makes me doubt more and more about Hisataka's true allegiance and whether he is really being evil or is he hiding something bigger under his sleeves.
Oh well, another few more episodes to the end. Final arc should be starting next week, but it seems that Kouichi's gonna face a bit more love troubles first.

Fans of scuzzy, early 90's indie rejoice because we may have just found your new favourite band. Or more likely, you've already heard of them. The History of Apple Pie have been on the lips of every important blogger and broadcaster this year. Ahead of their tour support for The Drums we stole them away for a day in the studio. They performed their new single Mallory live for us, the fruits of which you can watch above. After the session, we spoke to Steph and Jerome from the band.
In the past few months I think I must have heard your name mentioned at least a hundred different times, by a hundred different sources - has being in THOAP been as hectic from your point of view as it appears from the outside?
Being a member of a band is a 24-7 job that you never get away from the stresses of, but it's what we all want to do, so it's perfect really. It's equal parts anxiety and excitement, but when you look back on stuff you only remember the happy bits so that makes it worth it. Most of The History Of Apple Pie work full time, so to see that all the late night rehearsals and hard work is paying off is really satisfying.
We got a quick chance to chat about your background on the day of the session, but for the uninitiated, can you tell us how you all came to work together?
We (Steph and Jerome) are a couple and wrote and recorded some songs in our bedroom. We put them on the internet and got contacted by a few people saying they'd like to release it or give us a gig or whatever so we thought we'd better take it a bit more seriously! We met Kelly through another band we were friends with that was staying at her house, James came from an ad on Gumtree and Aslam was a member of one of James' previous bands.
Speaking of the session - we managed to get you in mid tour to record a couple of tracks with us - ON THE HOTTEST DAY OF THE YEAR - how did you find the day? Are you used to recording that way? Or do you prefer a different approach?
We usually record stuff just me and Steph at home - not because we choose to, but for convenience and financial reasons. For the new single Mallory we went into a proper studio with Paul Tipler who did the first Eighties Matchbox album and some stuff with Elastica. It was great especially as we could just concentrate on playing everything properly and just work together with Paul to bring the song together. We're really pleased with how the single turned out!
Our Amazing Radio session was great. Some of the band hadn't been in a studio before and it was the first time we've really heard ourselves live as a 5-piece!
And how was the tour itself - any favourite venues/nights? We're big fans of Male Bonding - did you find there was much of a crossover between fans at the gigs?
I think the favourite venue for us was the Brudenell Social Club. It's got a really good atmosphere and a game of pool is like 40p or something. We were fed this amazing lasagne, too. The tour overall was brilliant and couldn't have gone any better for us. We got to know Male Bonding quite well so we were all pretty emotional on the last night of the tour at Brudenell. The crowd were really great on that night and joined us all at the front to watch Male Bonding play their set.
We started playing 'You're So Cool' a while back now, things seem to have really snowballed for you since that release - were Roundtable Records someone you'd hoped to work with? Can you tell us how the relationship came about?
We already knew Joe at Roundtable and just sent him a message with a link to a few of our tracks saying, "This is my new band, blah blah blah..." and a couple of months later he emailed me saying they wanted to do a single with a video and everything. We knew most of the people that worked on the single already, so we had a really tight knit group of people working on it. Camille, who directed the video, interpreted the song perfectly. Roundtable let us do coloured vinyl and whatever artwork we want... What's better than coloured vinyl?
It's Independents' Week here at Amazing so we're highlighting the work of both DIY bands and labels as much as possible. Can you tell us a little bit about how you guys started and how important, or otherwise, you think the partnership between artist and label can be?
I think as long as neither party is compromising too much and the music is good then you're set! It's important to work hard as well to reap the benefits later. Even though we have a great team behind us, we're also incredibly pro-active and organised ourselves. We get bored and fidgety if we're not constantly doing something band-related.
The new single Mallory is one we all love at the station - especially this session version - I notice that you've got a 300 copy run on transparent yellow vinyl being stocked by Rough Trade - do you decide on formats as a band or is there a massive collectable vinyl fan amongst you?
Lots of bands we're into had coloured vinyl singles. They a bit more cherishable I think. Kelly is the only one who really buys tons of records though!
Tom Furse (The Horrors) remixing the track sounds like a perfect match - how did that come about? And were you surprised/happy with the results?
We've known Tom for a few years and last year Josh asked me to help build their studio for Skying which involved a lot of soldering and patching and fixing stuff. The Horrors have kind of heard us right from the first demos through to now and they've been really supportive, Josh even introduced us to their manager who is now looking after us as well, so we're pretty 'linked' with them.
We didn't really know what Tom would do with the track when we asked him to remix it but we really like it. It's got a total Eno vibe at the end and it's covered in Mellotron. Mellotron is always good.
What's up next for you all then?
We're supporting The Drums on their UK tour which starts November 28th. The London date is Shepherd's Bush Empire, so looking forward to that A LOT! Before then, we're heading to Amsterdam to play London Calling Festival at The Paradiso this weekend - and we have our single launch next week (November 16th at The Shacklewell Arms, London) for 'Mallory'. It's sold out so we're really psyched! After we get back from The Drums tour, Marshall Tellier Records are also releasing a 4-way split single feat. us and our close friends, Gross Magic plus Echo Lake and Novella - so look out for that!
Lastly, who are you listening to at the moment? Any new bands or artists we should know about?
Advert are our favourite band in London, they haven't released anything yet but they really are incredible. We've seen them in their early days and they've come a long way since then. We definitely recommend you go see them! Jerome has just been recording a band called Boneyards who are this excellent garage-punk style band (their drummer, Joe, is also in Gross Magic). Old Forest are this great new band... really riffy and doomy. Remind us of Jerome's dad's old stoner rock band Terminal Cheesecake. We asked them to play our Mallory single launch - really looking forward to it.

Built Jeep Tough
I love the new key fob and how I can leave it in my pocket without having to take it out. The only problem is that I lose it a lot because its out of sight and out of mind. So I've been trying to keep it on my key ring in order to keep it from getting permanently lost.
Well leaving for work on Friday, I opened the clasp on the carabiner key ring, my keys fell off one by one. It was raining and I thought I picked them all up. Now I left my Jeep at work for the weekend and used the "company car" until Sunday when I had to go home. That's when I realized my Jeep key wasn't on my ring and I probably left it at my front door on the ground.
Well, I live in New Jersey and got slammed with Hurricane Irene and massive amounts of rain and flooding. I was sure my expensive fob was destroyed due to it sitting in three days of mud and water.
Nope. Everything works as if it never happened, with no loss of reception or corrosion inside. I'll keep an eye on it to make sure the battery stays clean, but for right now THANK YOU JEEP!
Re: Built Jeep Tough
I screwed up and went swimming with my fob in my pocket. It was totally submerged for half an hour. I'm an engineer, so on the way back to the car I explained to my kids exactly how I had damaged it and what we would have to do to recover from my mistake ... but the fob worked perfectly. I don't know why. :o
Re: Built Jeep Tough
hah more like thank Mercedes ;)

Here's the problem though with wanting other orgs to "capitalize on this", you get stars getting spread out again. I don't like that. I want everyone under the same umbrella and that's where I'm sure a lot of us differ. I'm sure there are a number of folks who see the UFC as a monopoly or something similar to that. I don't care whether it's the UFC, Bellator or whatever, I want all the best fighters under one roof.
I personally don't jive with the Gilbert situation.
"I can't be too specific," said Rebney. "But it includes on-air opportunities, entertainment opportunities behind-the-scenes, some marketing opportunities, really, the whole genesis is Gil-specific. The key to the deal is building the Gilbert Melendez brand, not the Bellator brand or the Bjorn Rebney brand. The fighter's brand is what's important. The focus was on talking to Gil and his team. How do we leverage all the different resources to build the `El Nino' brand, and that's what got us all on the same side of the table to put this structure together."
I'm all for fighters wanting to be compensated fairly, don't get me wrong. If Dana wasn't offering market value, then by all means, Gil go get your $$$
However if you're just trying to stronghold an org, then I can't really support that. To me, that's what the Gilbert situation is, not that Dana was just being an idiot at the negotiating table. I'm still waiting on details though.

I will get to this week's games in a minute, here is MizzouRah's state of the program. I had serious flashbacks on Saturday to the year 2000. Larry Smith's 1-1 Tigers were in the process of bouncing back from a awful loss to Clemson and were playing very tough against a Michigan State team down 13-10. With about 1:55 to go and two timeouts the Tigers elected to punt on 4th and 3. The Faurot Field crowd erupted in boos, I sat there in disbelief. MSU got the ball and TJ Duckett ran for the first dwon on third down. For all intents and purposes that was the end of the Larry Smith era at MU.
(BTW I hope Coach Smith's health is improving)
Saturday the Tigers were in the midst of playing some awful football when Brad Smith got hurt. Chase Daniel came in and provided a spark and was moving the Tigers who were down 24-14 when they got stuck in a 4th and 6 from their own 41 with under 7 minutes to go and three timeouts. When our punter trotted on the field the crowd erupted in boos, this time I joined in. The D was exhausted and this seemed like we were giving up. Coach Pinkel said a fake punt had been called but he called TO and set up a play that Daniel and Chase Coffman executed perfectly. Had we punted there, it might not have been the end of the Pinkel era but it would have been a tough blow to say the least.
While Chase Daniel was fantastic and should see some PT it would be asinine to start him at any point this season. He is now in a low pressure situation and Brad Smith is still awfully good. There is no logical reason to change starters but we do need to be ready to mix things up if necessary.
On to this week's games.
Nebraska (+3) at MIZZOU (1130 FSN) - There are a lot of things I don't like about this matchup but let's be honest, both teams have had impressive and rather poor performances this year. Both teams were somewhat fortunate to beat Iowa State. Last year Nebraska had a great defensive gameplan but I really thought the MU O line was completely out of sync from the botched plane trip. This year that obviously won't occur being at home. I would prefer a 6 PM game.
Last year Nebraska was very conservative and MU finally made some terrible errors on special teams. I'd reccomend a similair approach but I think Nebraska will air it out a bit more. That could be good for an opportunistic MU defense. How much success MU has running the ball will be the key to the game. Nebraska leads the nation in rush D but hasn't played a rushing offense this good. Both teams are now playing with some confidence but honestly MU looked terrible for most of the game last week. It's tough to pick the home team this week.
But it's MizzouRah's birthday Saturday, so you've gotta believe. Also this will be the toughest road environment the Huskers have to face all year.
I'll pick the Huskers but they lose 28-27
KU (+14.5) at Colorado - KU has such a good defense one would think they can keep any game under 15. This philosophy helped me in the Texas Tech game but I see a rift forming at KU. That D has been so good and the O has been so bad this reminds me of some bad KC Chief teams I have suffered with in recent years. I'll take the Buffs to cover late.
Pick CU 27-7
Texas A&M (-3) at KSU - Lots of talk that KSU was victimized by some holding calls in Lubbock. That's a tough excuse when you lose by 39.
The 'Cats looked good for a half in Lubbock though and I think they are playing hard. I can't figure out A&M at all this year particularly on the road BUT I think they are a fair amount more talented than KSU right now. No way I'd put money on this.
A&M is the pick 31-21
Oklahoma State (+15) at Iowa State - Boy is ISU a hard luck team, I was actually pretty impresed with their running game Saturday. They were able to bounce back last year from a tough start but they play "big 10" football. That means they are VERY conservative and aren't blowing anyone out. So I'll take these points.
Pick Okie State they lose 28-17
Baylor (+14.5) at OU - Same deal here. OU just can't put up a lot of points right now. While I can't see them losing this game that's a lot of points with this offense.
Pick Baylor they lose 24-16
Texas Tech (+16) at Texas - Could this be an upset? I guess so, but i think Texas has such a good secondary this one will get ugly. If you haven't noticed betting on Texas has been quite profitable this year. I think that will continue.
Pick Texas 55-28
Other games of interest...
I like Wyoming +3 to bounce back and win at Colorado State
Michigan State -11.5 blows out Northwestern.
Georgia -18.5 runs it up on Arkansas it what has become a bad year for the Hogs.
I'll pick an early game and take Troy State -9 to cover over an FIU team that could not beat UNT and cost me some toothpicks!
Good luck to your (non Husker!) team!

Both CBS "Evening News" anchor Katie Couric and "Early Show" co-host Harry Smith portrayed Valerie Plame and her husband, Joe Wilson, as innocent victims, even though Plame admitted to being "partisan" in a "60 Minutes" interview with Couric on Sunday.
On Friday's "Early Show," Smith opened a segment previewing the upcoming interview by explaining that, "Valerie Plame spent nearly 20 years in the shadows of the CIA. Then suddenly, she became a public figure." He later played a clip of the interview in which Couric exclaimed how "18 years of meticulously crafted cover were gone in an instant." Strangely there was no mention of the "Vanity Fair" photo op that Plame and her husband posed for, which Couric asked about in the "60 Minutes" interview:
COURIC: An investigation was launched. But as it dragged on, the Wilsons hardly kept a low profile, appearing at glamorous public events, political fund-raisers for the Democratic Party, and in "Vanity Fair" magazine. You know, you're a covert C.I.A. agent for "x" number of years, and suddenly, you know, you're in this Greta Garbo pose in your husband's jaguar.
PLAME: It was more trouble than it was worth. And it was... I was not interviewed for the article. I was not identifiable. The damage had already been done.
On Monday's "Early Show" Smith once again presented a segment on the interview and played a portion where "...Plame talks about the sensitive nature of her work, which was compromised when her name was illegally leaked." He then set up the next clip by saying, "Valerie Plame, of course, is married to former ambassador Joe Wilson, and the two of them are still deeply, deeply hurt by this entire experience...Take a look at this." In the clip that followed Joe Wilson proceeded to condemn the "mafia-like" tactics of the Bush Administration.
While Couric deserved credit for asking a few challenging questions of Plame, the rest of the "60 Minutes" interview was not so probing. The sympathetic anchor began the interview as she declared that "As a CIA spy, Valerie Plame Wilson wasn't allowed to defend herself, maintaining her silence for four long years until tonight." Really? Than I guess Joe Wilson's role as an advisor to the Kerry Campaign, that "Vanity Fair" article, and Plame's testimony before Congress, which Couric reported on, are Katie's idea of being "silent."
Couric later summed up Plame's conspiracy theory about the controversy by saying that, "She believes her identity was leaked in a newspaper because her husband, who had gone on a fact-finding mission for the CIA before the Iraq war, publicly accused the president and others of lying to justify the invasion." Well, we already know that Katie agrees with that assessment, after her September 25 declaration that "People in this country were misled in terms of the rationale for war." Sounds eerily similar, does it not?
Couric then painted numerous Administration officials as being responsible for the leak of Plame's name, despite only Richard Armitage being cited as a source for the Novak column that sparked the controversy:
Eventually, the leak of her name was traced all the way back to the Vice President's office...The special prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald, found evidence there were four leakers: Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage; the Vice President's Chief of Staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby; President Bush's closest confidante, Karl Rove; and White House spokesman Ari Fleischer...Fitzgerald said that, by lying, Libby had prevented him from getting to the bottom of the leak, and he said quote: "There is a cloud over the Vice President and there is a cloud over the White House."
If only "clouds" were actually admissible in court.
Finally, at the conclusion of the interview, Couric took the liberty of presuming the guilt of President Bush in the controversy: "When all is said and done, the top aides to both the president and the vice president leaked your name to reporters. Do you think President Bush was in on this?" Plame responded:
I don't know about that. But I, like most other Americans, saw President Bush say on TV that he would fire anyone from his administration found to be involved in the leak of my name. It turns out the president is not a man of his word.
You can read the full "60 Minutes" transcript here.
Here is the full transcript of this morning's 7:18am "Early Show" segment:
HARRY SMITH: Good morning, again. I'm Harry Smith. You're watching the "Early Show"on CBS. Valerie Plame, the CIA agent at the center of a White House scandal, spoke out for the first time in an interview with Katie Couric on last night's "60 Minutes." This morning we want to bring you more of that interview, as Plame talks about the sensitive nature of her work, which was compromised when her name was illegally leaked. She says a classified ad clipped out by her mother led her to the CIA right out of college.
VALERIE PLAME: The ad said things like "serve your country" and "Have you traveled abroad?," and "Do you speak any foreign languages?"
KATIE COURIC: At The Farm, the CIA's training camp in rural Virginia, she learned how to recruit foreign agents, or assets, the actual spies.
PLAME: Yes, I am a spy, but within the agency, we would never call ourselves spies. We are the spymasters, if you will, the operations officers. We're the ones who are directing.
COURIC: What are some of the risks for the agents you recruit?
PLAME: Oh. In the most extreme case, it's our life, of course. They are putting their lives in our hands. And that -- that is the real damage of what has happened in this whole leak affair. Because of agents in my career that have been associated with me at some point or another, it places them into great jeopardy, and that is the real damage done to national security. And when you -- I think about going out from here, maybe there's someone out there who has really critical information that would help the United States of America, and they're saying to themselves, you know what, I'd like to approach that person that I know is, you know, a little special, a little different, but you know, they couldn't even protect one of their own officers. So maybe I'll go off and sell my information to the Russians instead. That's the tragedy.
COURIC: You believe your name being public will have a chilling effect on the ability to recruit other agents.
PLAME: Indeed. That is the true damage done by this affair.
SMITH: Valerie Plame, of course, is married to former ambassador Joe Wilson, and the two of them are still deeply, deeply hurt by this entire experience. This is another clip from the interview I want to show you. Take a look at this.
JOE WILSON: It was a mafia-like tactic. And the idea of going after your family, even in Washington, was an outrage. Nobody went after Karl Rove's family. Nobody went after "Scooter" Libby's family. They went after my family.
COURIC: In all fairness, Karl Rove's wife doesn't work for the CIA.
WILSON: How do you know?
COURIC: "Scooter" Libby's wife doesn't work for the CIA.
WILSON: How do you know? How do you know?
COURIC: I don't know for sure, but I think it's a safe assumption.
WILSON: Yeah, you don't know. And we don't know what they did. Because nobody went after heir families, and that's the way it should be. That's the way it should be.
COURIC: You are still seething.
WILSON: Oh, I think absolutely, absolutely. I'm seething because it was a --first and foremost, it was a great betrayal of the national security of the country.
SMITH: Of course, there is more available from the interview on our website. If you go to the "60 Minutes" website, you can see excerpts from the interview that were not included on the show last night. Really, really quite a story.

I never imagined catching my sons poops would be easier than catching pees but it happened that he loves to go poop in the potty.
I still cannot catch any pees! Oh well. I'm not too worried I just keep offering the potty almost every time I change his diaper. I catch poops every day once a day usually.
I should add that he's 3 months and have practiced ec from since he was a couple weeks old. I could catch some pees in the beginning but now I never learned his cues bc he has nine and so I feel hopeless @ pees :)
poops have been easier with my kids, and so far seems that way with the littlest baby. I'll take it. The kids not pooping on themselves, not having to scrape poop off of their bodies, not having poopy diapers in the pail or the wash- its AWESOME.
dissertating mom to three
Tried timing? At that age we offered the potty every 15-20 min, right after wake up, going out to about 30-40 min as we got further from sleep....try nakie time to get a sense of the time pattern...
"That's the way it is, if that's the way it seems to you."

I second everything flyrabbitfly says. Variations on that in case you don't want or can't offer the potty that often, would be to offer right after waking in the morning, right after naps, and a maybe 5-10 minutes after eating, and right before and right after car trips. You could also try naked time to better learn cues like flyrabbitfly says, or use a non-waterproof diaper or trainer so you can see right away when he 'went' and take note of his facial expressions, sounds, and other movements right before he peed.
Good luck, sounds like it is going great so far. I think poops are the most gratifying thing to catch anyway! So much easier to simply flush it away!

This includes owning one or having a wife/girlfriend that really likes shooting one. My wife was eyeing one hard at a gunshop today. I have access to one, so I will be getting it for her to shoot soon. Just wondering if any ladies were shooting one and what they thought of it. Any info is good, recoil, size, how you CC with it, etc.
I want to put it side by side with a G26 from the range and have her shoot both. She handles my G19 fine for reference. Kicking around the idea of a single stack too. But none got her attention today. She's small so CC'ing the double stack 9 could get tough.
The little lady wants her own pistol, how can I say no!

Welcome to the club. My wife is wanting a GLOCK 9mm, but the 19 grip is to big for her smaller hand. Are the XD grips any smaller? Man I wish GLOCK made a single stack 9mm....

With great power comes great responsibility.-Stan Lee
My wife is short and petite. Her gun is an XD9 subcompact. She is not the world's most accurate shot with it, and only it. I noticed this seemed to develop solely after she started shooting it with the 16-round extended magazine. It tended to rattle loose in the magazine well while shooting, and would catch a finger and pinch pretty badly. She started flinching badly after this in anticipation of that pinch.
That being said, she likes shooting it, the recoil is very mild.
She finds it difficult to carry. It's a thick gun and we don't have an adequate holster for her yet. Given its size and that holsters for women are rare, in order to carry it you need to find a very good holster that holds it close to the body, and your wife needs to be a bit flexible with her wardrobe. My wife can't seem to understand that tight jeans and form-fitting t-shirts make concealing guns pretty much impossible.
I have the XD40sc which is the same gun .40. My wife LOVES to shoot it. In fact, when we go to the range, my wife will shoot 75-125 rounds through the gun easily. It is her favorite range gun. I would think with the 9mm, the recoil would be even less for the shooter. Let her try it out and see what she thinks.
I would like to suggest that you possibly take a look at the Walther PPS. Slim gun and grip, three different mag lengths to aid in concealment and/or shooting comfort.
I just ordered one for myself for a summer gun, my EDC gun is a Glock 19, and after shooting the PPS I really, really, like it.
My wife's current carry gun is a Glock 26, she carries it daily in a F.I.S.T. ultra-thin kydex IWB holster.
Good luck to your wife on her choice.
Tomorrow's battle is won during today's practice.
i bought mine. because my wife and i could shoot it well. for home and (my) daily ccp when we are out of the house. her first time ever shootin any gun she was hitting the ten ring w/ little instruction. it is a little thick though but this is something you have to tolerate if you want 13 rounds in a small pistol. looove the options for 16 rnds @ the range i wish they made a single stack for those hot summer days. but i am very confident with mine.
Thanks for the info. Keep it coming. I would lean toward a single stack, but this is the problem. I have a Kel Tec P3at. It was what I bought for her to keep at the house. She hates shooting it. She much prefers shooting my G19. Mainly because of the grip. She feels like the gun is going to jump out of her hands. I think it has her turned off of thin gripped guns like a single stack. The gun shop had a Karh and a couple others and she could not keep her eyes off the XD. We'll see if the love lasts through shooting it. The main thing is that I want her to shoot it and enjoy it before we buy anything. That's the mistake we made with the P3at, buying it without test driving it.
I have an XD9sc. My wife is a novice shooter but has fired a fair assortment of pistols. Her favorite is my XD...she's most comfortable with it. Her second favorite to shoot is the Kimber 3" Ultra's in .45. Hated all the .40's she shot.
My Girlfriend hates my XD9sc to much flip for her. Have had luck with the LCP and the Walther PPK i believe is the model. Go to a range and let her shoot all there guns you can rent and see what she likes.
My wife loves hers....she started with a .22 and wanted to move up. She chose the XDsc9. Good luck.

Strands are a part of my regular training program and have been for some time, as is the case for many participants on this board. Unfortunately, I've found that in attempting to convince others to give strands/cables a go I run up against the fact that few know much (or anything at all) about them and therefore seem disinclined to give them a shot. Does anyone here know of any prominent athletes or others who would be generally recognizable to many or most people who credit their success or much of it to cables? I was originally sceptical about getting results but quickly became a convert after trying them. I think that many would benefit from giving them a fair trial, but most seem put off because of the lack of "success stories" from recognizable names.

Having looked at your notebook, I must guess that, when you said "complex"
above, you simply meant "complicated". Perhaps Abs was used merely to avoid
getting a negative number under Sqrt. If that is the case, then look at the

As explained in the cited thread, the prime mark means "derivative". That
thread also gives ways to avoid getting Abs', assuming that your quantities
are real numbers.
