Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hi & thanks for using our service. I'll do my best to give you a complete & accurate answer. Please ask me to clarify anything you don't understand.
There is no gift tax for 2012 until your lifetime gifts exceed $5,120,000.
You can gift the property to your son/daughter, but you will need to file a gift tax return on Form 709, due at the same time your tax return is due for the year of the gift.
However, there will be no gift tax due.
Your child's income tax basis for the property will be the same as your tax basis.
The lifetime limit is scheduled to revert to $1,000,000. for 2013 unless Congress acts.
You will be able to use the annual gift tax exclusion amount of $13,000. and then the excess will go against your lifetime gift limit of $5,120,000. If you are married, your wife can join in your gift and you can use her $13,000. exclusion against the gift also & therefore only the excess over $26,000. would go against the $5,120,000. lifetime limit.
Please remember to click on the green "ACCEPT", or the "smiley face" as appropriate; that is the only way we get credit for our work, even if you are on a subscription plan. Feedback, if you have time and bonuses, where you think they are warranted, are always most appreciated. Before or after you ACCEPT, I will be happy to answer any additional follow-up questions you may have. Thanks again for using our service. If you'd like to contact me again, in the future, just ask for "Steve G" at the beginning of your question.
Thank you for answering this for me. You have made something that seems very complicated very clear. The information that I received from a CPA was to sell the property to my child for $1.00. I am assuming that from your answer that this is the incorrect way of a parent giving a property to a child?
It really doesn't matter. The effect would be basically the same. You would still have a gift for the difference between the $1. & the fair market value of the gift. That advice wasn't wrong or incorrect, perhaps it wasn't adequately explained to you.
Thank you for your answer.You have made something that seems complicated very clear. I was told by a CPA that the parent should sell the property to the child for $1.00. I am assuming that this is incorrect?
One important point is that I presume that your son/daughter wants to do something with the property now?
No. I just want to transfer it over to them. It has been in my plans for a couple of years now.
The reason I ask is that as a gift your son/daughter will have the same income tax cost (basis) as you do, whereas if the property was inherited after you die, their tax basis could be the fair market value at your date of death.
Please explain further I do not understand
What it means is that if the child sells the property that they receive as a gift, their capital gain would be the same as yours, ie. the same as if you sold the property for its fair market value (to someone other than your child for example); if they inherit the property from your estate, their tax cost would likely be the fair market value at your date of death, thus eliminating any capital gain on the difference between what you paid for the property and what the property is worth at your date of death.
Is that clear now?
.Yes very clear and I cannot say thank you enough
OK, great.
Have a wonderful day!!
Please remember to click on the green "ACCEPT".

Steve Rubel twittered out the announcement that Google Docs has a mobile version while I was waiting for the bus, so I tried it out on the bus to see how it worked. Here's a micro-review.
More info: Google Docs Mobile link, Google Blogoscoped review of Google Docs Mobile. A few screenshots on A Media Circus.
I tried two document formats, spreadsheets and documents. It's said that presentations are not supported, and I didn't have any, so I didn't test.
The spreadsheet viewer either lets you download as XLS (which I didn't try) to view as HTML. The HTML viewer gives you pages that are 1 column wide and 20 rows deep, so if you are designing reports for mobile viewing you'll want to arrange things in columns, not rows. There's no edit function that I could see. I'll have to rethink the formatting of my Michigan Football Parking spreadsheet and figure out if there's a good way to represent it in this format.
The document viewer successfully loaded a Word file that I had saved from Google Mail earlier and presented it (slowly) for viewing. Some amount of formatting was intact. I tried to edit it, but got confused, and by that time my bus ride was over.
Mobile document viewing and editing has been around at least as long as Socialtext's Miki mobile wiki editor, and I've done successful Mediawiki remote wiki edits on the Ann Arbor civic wiki Arborwiki. It's nice to get a view into Google Docs, but so far I haven't seen more than remote viewing. This is a welcome addition to the Google mobile pantheon, but it doesn't look like it's going to replace my laptop any time soon.

(Will NOT Ship at this time) I bought the gun a few months ago.. A blued 3 inch version.. 5-shots of BIG .44 Special ammo, with the size of a detective special. I've fired only 20 rounds through it. Will include a nice pistol rug- 3 HKS speed loaders and 5 rounds of .44 Special Glasers. Silky smooth and crisp action for a Charter. You will NOT find another one like this at any price. $415, no sales tax from me. Sales to over 21- non-felons, WA residents only please. The only trade I'd consider would be a smaller and lighter Ruger LCR .357 Magnum.
Local sale in Eastern WA. Lewis-Clark valley..Moscow Pullman

is a guide on lace. Read up on it.
Quality is important because you want something that is nice and will last for a long time. Even if it looks really pretty, no serious lolita will buy it if the materials are sub-par.
2. Ororo is just telling you straight up that is has to be something that will last. No other meaning to it other than that.
3. First off, arm warmers are not part of lolita. I would not recommend even trying to design any.
Since you mentioned clothes, yes Ororo was talking about dresses and such.
When being unique, try not to step out of the box too much, because sometimes it will have to opposite effect of what you really intended. Keep it relatively simple but still eye catching.
4. If your pictures suck, no one would want to buy your clothes or accesories. There are things you will have to spend money on if you want to set up a shop, a good camera being one of them. For well lit pictures you need plenty of light and a light background to work with for darker items, and a dark background for lighter items.
Also, if you love lolita, what's stopping you from dressing in it? There are plenty of other guys like you out there, we call them brolitas. Nothing wrong dressing in what you love.
Sorry if I seem short but I'm just getting straight to the point. I do not intend to sound like a bitch in any way or form. I am extremely supportive of anyone who gets into lolita fashion and the lolita community is also very supportive of people who make things such as what you are looking in to.

Did a great job, on time, easy communication, good value. Will use Flamur again.
Really great friendly team. Left the place neat and tidy - nothing was too much trouble. We had to wait a while for them to fit us in but then again I would be worried if the turned up the next day!

Opponents of a new plan to house homeless veterans in a vacant Gainesville hotel are appealing to Alachua County Commissioners tonight.

Mayhem # 2323586
About MeReal name is Alicia Dwyer, but people call me Rukia! I am an extremely motivated individual who is up for almost anything. I do not do nudes/fetish shoots for anything!, so please do not ask. I may do implied but only if I feel that the project is real art and tasteful. I enjoy fashion/editorial work the most, so I am looking for photographers that focus on that. I am open to consider any idea, so DON'T be afraid to run it by me!!
On almost all of my shoots, hair, styling, and make-up are done by me. I have been a MUA for years and attended school for cosmo. Love working with amazing MUA's though!
I am energetic, I take excellent care of myself, and I never let people down. I am looking for paid work, will travel if I can and expenses are covered. Will do TFP depending on the job. Remember! Good things come in small packages!
I am a very diverse model, I can convey any emotion you need me to in order to get the shot. I will get into freezing water, climb trees, lay in dirt, etc. Art is messy and I love it!
So let's make something INCREDIBLE together!

Best Bow for a Lady...
Alright. I've just gotten into archery. I've got a nameless, used to pieces compound bow that I got into it with. It belonged to someone's child or something and somehow it came into my possession. But it is time for a big girl bow, an actual bow. I have a 25" draw length and can pull 40# really easily so will probably need 50# with time. What bow should I start saving my pennies for?
One of the most complicated things is that everyone seems to have a different opinion. Some people have told me that anything that isn't Hoyt or Bowtech isn't a bow. I've shot the Hoyt Katera and I have to say the new cam system on it feels a little jerky to me. I'm a simple kind of girl and I want to hunt with it so I'm not sure I need every last fps of speed if it means the bow is a.) unpleasant to use for a draw length as short as mine, or b.) prone to malfunction or always needing to be tuned. Then again, I don't know much about it. I just want something reliable that's easy and fun to shoot.
Price range... well, I was really hoping to get a bow for under 400. But I'll save for longer if need be.
What do you think? I figure if everyone has a different opinion the best thing to do is get even more opinions!

I really love my Mathews XT, but always willing to try something new.
Just try before you buy! If it don't feel right to you, move on to the next one until you find one you just can't put down.
Good Luck and
Same advice I give a man, shoot as many as you can and find which one feels best to you. What all of us on here prefer is absolutely meaningless. Make sure the shops set the draw length correctly for you, that will definitely foul up your quest if that's not right. The major brands are good bows, don't worry about what the fanboys say, the name on the bow is about the least important thing you be looking at. I wouldn't worry much about tuning either, with a good set of strings bows will stay in tune until it's time to replace them. Oh, welcome.Bear Grizzly, Beman Centershot/Steelforce , Legacy Quiver

I started my wife off with a Browning Micro Midas 3. It was used, but when I sold it I did not loose any money. She has since upgraded to a Pink Hoyt Trykon (30 - 40 pound) and she shoots great with it. She really likes how short and light it is. After a little practice (shooting twice a week for a month) I took her to a 3d shoot with me and she shot a 269. The Trykon is a very nice and quick bow.

Here are a couple worth looking at.

If I can't hunt in
heaven, I don't wanna go
Shoot straight, and aim
for the 12 ring.
At one time the choices may have been more limited but rest assured that isn't the case now. There are no limits. I would look more not at a brand but a formula that works well for short draw archers. For instance why would Tiffany sorry if I spelled the name wrong. Why would she be shooting the Mathews Prestigue. It is a good bow for short draw lengths. Bows with totally paralell limbs often don't work as well at really short lengths. A shorter draw length can enjoy shooting a shorter brace height so something like the X Force with short draw cams with light limbs would be a killing machinne for hunting. There are so many. A used or new hold over of the
AR35 Short draw is a great bow again limbs are not as paralell and brace is shorter for better short draw power. In past years PSE also made some truly quality single cam Spyder bows. Check out it's specs on the ones with venom cams or stinger cam. In those years it had a wood grip and other quality touches it lost later. This bow has about the exact dimensions of the Prestigue I mentioned from Mathews and costs a fraction of the cash. A bow like the cybertec from 2003 would be tough to beat. You get the idea. Too many to list. Look for the formula of a bow with not quite so paralell limbs and a 6 to 6.5 inch brace height and you will get a lot out of it at shorter lengths. These bows are a little longer than the popular super short bows that sell so much but that little extra length will give accuracy. Have fun finding the one that suits you.

Hello I'm new to the world of the Flat Four Monsters. (So new I dont even own a Subaru yet).
I've got my eye on a few Bug-Eye Wagons in the tri-state area.
I'm coming off of a couple failed attempts at owning a Volkswagen. Two Mk4 VR6 GTIs. Awesome cars but they were so unreliable.
I'll be moving to State College PA for school. Any other Subaru owners in that area?
Any places to work on cars? I can't work on my cars in the parking lot of the apartment complex I live in.

So your saying to yourself, "I have bed bugs" now what? Should I get an exterminator or should I use some sort of bed bug spray?
Here is what this site is going to do for you right now.
In a few moments, you are going to save hundreds dollars and hours of researching what you MUST do to get rid of bed bugs yourself.
Now you have two types of options.
- Hire a professional
- Do it yourself
Hiring a bed bug exterminator can be costly for most folks. What we have received from our readers is that some pest professionals will not offer a guarantee. And at times… they would come back and charge more to do another round of extermination.
All while you have to:
- Evacuate your home
- Throw away valuables
- Have poisonous pesticides in your home
- And pay ALOT of money
When you can simply use the solution bed bug exterminators (the big guys) were using.
You see… their was a pesticide exempt solution that kills bed bugs and prevents them from coming back. This solution was only released to bed bug exterminators under a private contract. These companies were banking in $1,000's using this product and still are today.
After careful review and research… I finally found out that this company has released their unique bed bug spray to the public. And better yet, they are offering folks a complimentary sample for the celebration of the launch.
The pesticide exempt spray is called bed bug bully. It is probably the best kept secret in the pest professionals industry. Our readers have loved the product and continually show gratitude for us referring it to them. Check out the video below of one of their customers…
I Have Bed Bugs…
Nuff said… if you have a bed bug problem. Definitely check out Bed Bug Bully and grab your complimentary sample.

These were available for general sale when I was considerably younger. They were even advertised in the back pages of comic books.
Since they were for sale during my lifetime, I must note that I am deeply offended by being referred to, even at second hand, as an "antique."
I believe that these pen guns were supposed to be used only with tear-gas cartridges. However, I know that people did use them to fire bullets.
I probably would not do that, were I to come across one of these devices.
Some of these pen guns have trigger buttons, and in some cases the trigger button is actuated by the thing's pocket clip. Some fire only by pulling back, and then releasing, the cocking knob. The little "side track" off to the right of the cocking knob is the safety notch, such as it is.

UPDATE: Family Hit By Car While Trick or Treating
Couple Seriously Hurt, Daughter OK
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A Colorado Springs couple is seriously hurt after being hit by a car while trick or treating with their daughter. They were pulling the 4-year-old girl in a wagon, and police said she had very minor injuries.
Police said the couple is Samuel and Kelly Kinkennon. They were crossing North Academy Boulevard at Parkmoor Village Drive at about 3:45 p.m. when the car crashed into them. Police on scene said it appeared the couple was following traffic laws, crossing at a crosswalk when they had a green light.
It's not clear yet if the driver of the car that hit them, 22-year-old Shynesia Harris, will be ticketed. Police said she may face careless driving charges.
A witness said the little girl looked fine after the crash.
"I saw a man being loaded in an ambulance, then I noticed a little girl standing on the corner in a Cinderella costume," said Laura Luna. "There were people gathered around her."
Police said the girl was picked up by her grandma and taken to the hospital to get checked out.

Johnny Carson Almost Starred in 'The Dick Van Dyke Show' [VIDEO]
Comedic icon Dick Van Dyke made an appearance on Conan recently, and I fell in love with him all over again! Star of 'Mary Poppins,' 'The Dick Van Dyke Show,' and a whole catalog of amazing works on both the big ans small screens. I was shocked when I learned that he almost didn't play the lead role in the show that bears his own name!
The crowd erupted when Dick walked on to the stage, but to fully appreciate the interview there is one side you need to know. Before Van Dyke joined everyone on stage, there was a hilarious interview with Jason Sudeikis. Conan tells Jason about how his mom would go to the store and ask people if they watched TV, then would proceed to hand out Conan key chains to any and everyone. And speaking of Johnny Carson, don't miss Conan's hilarious crack at the 'Tonight Show' after his short run as host of the late-night giant.

Zerosmoke – Safe Magnetic Auricular Therapy
We all know that smoking can reduce our life by 12 years, so why not quit smoking now when you have the chance! Well I guess it's hard, but wait don't just give up easily, cause here we have a useful tiny device called Zerosmoke designed to help you stop smoking through the use of 'auricular therapy magnets', which you attach to your ear. The device uses two biomagnets to create a precise pressure point on the outer ear, which stimulates the production of neurotransmitters in the brain, decreasing tobacco craving and withdrawal symptoms. The magnetic casting acts as both a natural conductor and protects against any allergic reactions. Hopefully It will help you completely quit smoking within one week.
Place on the ear in just seconds – then go about your daily activities. The inherent properties of the two bio-magnets keep them in place by attraction.

Crate training
Any advice on crate training??? I feel so guilty listening to her whine at night
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Did you just recently acquire her?
If so, if you have anything (like a toy or a piece of garment) that has the scent of her litter (or parents), leave it in there with your puppy to make her feel comfortable. Also make an extra effort on sticking your hand in the crate and petting her, reassuring her that it's alright. I found these methods successful when I crate trained my pup.
Let her learn to soothe herself. I like sleeping with my animals, so I sleep with them, but I do crate training during the day. I put her in her crate AFTER exhausting her, and give her something she can chew on if she wants. She screams bloody murder as I step out the door to go feed my horse or go to class, or even just go down the road for a moment, and she's asleep in about 10-15 minutes.
Depending on her age, you might need to take her out during the night... I mean... when you REALLY have to pee, do you want to have to hold it for another 5+ hours? It can be uncomfortable, and while I know I'm not a dog, I would probably whine too. So if possible, see if maybe you can get up around 1 or 2 in the morning (or midnight, or whatever works best), and take her out immediately, and exhaust her for another 10-20 minutes, then put her back in her crate for bed.
And then... don't give in. The ONLY time you take her out of her crate is when she is quiet and calm. She'll eventually associate her being able to come out with being calm and quiet, and she'll be more calm and quiet. At first, if you have time, play crate games and put her in and out really quick based on how quiet she is. And extend the time, and so on. Other crate games are great for teaching HOW she gets to come out, and makes her WANT to go into her crate.
Remember, her crate is her safe place, and she should want to go into it. :)
And it's OK. Babies cry. If we cater to their ever want and need, they will never learn how to self sooth, and IMO, that's how people end up with dogs with extreme social anxiety, because they never learned how to soothe themselves and be alone.
is this a puppy?
Get an old fashioned clock that make ticking noise. Put it nearby.
If you take pup out after 10 minutes of whining, pup learns to whine 11 minutes :)
they will sleep.
Agree with only taking a pup out when pup is quiet.
Now my big guys think their crates are their den and even though I never close the doors, they go there to sleep.
I bought a huge crate for my tiny puppy and I think that was a bad approach. She's fine now... but she screamed so much at first I ended up sleeping on the floor with her for almost 2 full weeks. Until I could barely walk from the back pain.... And then when I would try to sleep on the couch or bed she goes nuts and Growls and bites me. It doesn't feel playful but I could be overreacting. Long story short we rearranged our bedroom so her crate is right next to the bed and it took 3 nights of crying and now she sleeps fine. I did cover it partially with a sheet. That seems to help her feel secure since I went with the wire crate.

How old is she and how long have you had her? Where is the crate?
I keep the crate right next to the bed, which not only helps the puppy settle at night, I can also hear when s/he wakes up and needs to go outside during the night to potty.
Yes we just picked her up Sunday and she only whines for about 10 minutes and she has blankets and toys on there. This is my first GSD so I want to get as much advice as possible:)
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
The crate is right outside my bedroom and I also sleep with my door open bc of the cats and my kids. I do get up in the middle of the night an take her potty. I'm going to try covering it with a sheet when I leave today.
She is almost 8 weeks old and we tire her out pretty good especially my kids. She's always following us and the cats around.
I'm trying not to give in:( I just need to learn like with a baby she will self soothe:)

Dr. Sarah McPherson, Ed.D.
Chair of the Instructional Technology graduate program at New York Institute of Technology
Ultimately it is about the manifestation of a new dimension of one's identity: the digital identity
(Retrieved October 11, 2010 from http://www.eportfolio.eu).
Background and Theoretical Framework
A professional portfolio is a collection of artifacts that demonstrates a candidate's ongoing effort and developmental growth in one or more areas (Paulson, Paulson, & Meyer, 1991). It can also be used as a marketing tool for job interviews to display evidence of knowledge and skills (Kilbane & McNergney, 2001). The purpose of a portfolio system is to systematically organize evidence of meeting standards at three levels: curriculum of the program, faculty instruction and assessment, and candidates' reflection on learning. Barrett & Carney, (2005) state that "a critical component of an educational portfolio is the learner's reflection on the individual pieces of work (often called "artifacts") as well as an overall reflection on the story that the portfolio tells". Some colleges of education look to an electronic system for meeting NCATE Unit standard 2, although not required, as an assessment system to collect data about candidates' performance for purposes of program evaluation and improvement planning (Barrett &Wilkerson, 2004).
In that there are many types and purposes for portfolios, for this discussion it is important to distinguish the type of portfolio subject of this paper. According to Paulson and Paulson (1994) a portfolio for demonstrating learning and reflection is a constructivist-type portfolio which shows growth and development over time, in contrast to a positivist-type portfolio which contains candidate's 'work' considered representative of knowledge and understanding for assessing learning outcomes, using data to report learning outcomes across users, contexts, and purposes. The e-portfolio described in this paper is more similar to a positivist approach as a performance reporting system to determine the candidates' knowledge and skills listed in standards.
An e-portfolio assessment system meets NCATE Unit standard 2 as a way to collect data about candidate performance for program evaluation and planning for improvement. For this reason, many institutions of higher education adopt electronic portfolios which allow candidates to systematically collect digital artifacts as evidence of meeting performance standards. In contrast to a traditional paper-based portfolio, the electronic portfolio allows candidates to collect and store evidence of learning in an electronic format. E-portfolios also serve as an alternative to standardized tests or comprehensive exams for assessing candidates' knowledge and skills. Barrett and Wilkerson (2004) describe paper-based portfolios as involvement in collecting, selecting, reflecting, projecting and celebrating learning processes. Furthermore, they describe the added dimensions of technology for e-portfolios as an ability to archive objects of learning, to link and think, to engage in storytelling, planning, and publishing.
Higher education institutions look to electronic portfolios as an assessment system that supports alignment of program goals and objectives with national and state standards. The e-portfolios is used to collect candidates' artifacts that demonstrate evidence of learning, a rationale for how their artifacts meets the standards and reflections on how the standards relate to their teaching and learning.The role of faculty is to assess the artifact and to provide feedback on the candidates rationale and reasoning, and reflections. At New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) faculty of the Master of Science in Instructional Technology (MSIT) program lead the adoption and implementation for the adopting and institutionalizing an assessment system, tool and process. In fall 2005, a portfolio assessment sytem was established, a commercial web-based electronic portfolio called TaskStream™ adopted, and the implementation plan put into place which continues to support the assessment system today.
The selection process included reviewing several products, and analyzing their functionalities, compatibility, ease of use, maintenance and support, and pricing structure. The NYIT committee reviewed features of several products to determine the potential to meet these criteria. Products were tested, technical support systems reviewed, and administrative functions considered. The criteria established include the following:
Spring semester 2005 the faculty of the MSIT program launched the pilot implementation of TaskStream™ which met the programmatic needs for evaluating student artifacts and tracking assessments. The TaskStream™ e-portfolio system has extensive features for lesson planning, building rubrics, designing standards-based assessments, as well as communication tools for faculty and candidates to support feedback and evaluation. The TaskStream™ system is sufficiently modular for initial implementation to use only a few features in meaningful applications while allowing faculty and candidates to learn the intricacies of the system at a manageable pace.
The process began by aligning program objectives, technology objectives, and field experience requirements with national AECT standards and New York State Education objectives for Educational Technology Specialist certification. The alignment process helped faculty understand the purpose and position of each course in the scope and sequence of the entire master's program. Keystone assignments functioned as the culminating assessment for candidates to generate artifacts to demonstrate the knowledge and understanding of key concepts learned in each course. Sample keystone assignments include a personal educational philosophy, instructional unit and lesson plans, technology evaluation, multimedia module of instruction, school technology plan, and research projects. TaskStream™ Rubric Wizard tool was easy to use to develop the assessment criteria application for determining the extent to which candidates' artifacts meet each standard across courses in the program. See Figure 1 for Master AECT rubric. The rubric for each standard occurred in each course aligned with the standard(s) designated as aligned with learning outcomes of the course.
The NYIT MSIT program is designed to develop expertise in uses of media and technology for teaching and learning. Candidates in the program are generally full-time teachers, seeking their first master's degree, and professional certification in the area of their initial certification. Graduates of the program work as master teachers in P-12 classrooms, or as school or district instructional technology leaders, staff developers, and curriculum designers. Initial courses enhance teachers' expertise with a wide range of technology media and applications to set the stage for understanding how instructional technology can fulfill its potential to enhance learning and meet the unique needs of diverse learners. Building on theories of learning, motivation, and curriculum design, candidates apply newly developed technology skills to core content curricular areas of math, science, social studies and language arts. The 36-credit program leads to eligibility for New York State certification as an Educational Technology Specialist.
The Instructional Technology program is offered in partnership with five NY State Teacher Centers in the lower Hudson Valley, on Long Island and the New York City United Federation of Teachers, as well as on the NYIT campuses on Long Island and Manhattan. There are 5 full-time faculty members, approximately 40 adjuncts and more that 400 part-time graduate candidates. The e-portfolio system pilot was undertaken to prepare for NCATE accreditation and national program approval by Association of Educational Communication Technology. A basic MSIT student e-portfolio may include a resume and keystone assignments for courses, i.e. instructional design curriculum units and lesson plans, multimedia learning modules, web-based instructional materials, school-based technology plans, and research papers. Artifacts demonstrate exemplary technology skills, i.e. web pages, Macromedia Flash projects, Inspiration diagrams, classroom blogs and wikis, and other web 2.0 instructional applications. Documentation and reflection papers for 50 hours field experience in selected courses are also archived in the system to meet New York certification requirements.
There is no single formula for planning to adopt and implement an electronic portfolio system that works with every institution or program. Many institutions have had paper-based portfolio systems, which are converted to an electronic format. Others, similar to NYIT, have used a less systematic process for collecting assessment data which is very difficult to organize and compile meaningful information for program evaluation. However assessment is critical for program evaluation; reflective practice is essential for determining student learning.
As we know from the change process (Fullan, 2001) it is important to keep in mind that no matter how much front-end planning you do, needs change, people change, and thus plans outlined often times needs to change. In fact, it is important to plan for change. The system should allow for flexibility in how things are set up, and make it easy to implement changes over time. The Folio Assessment System in TaskStream™ is comprised of a Folio Assessment Program and a Directed Response Folio (DRF). The DRF is easy for candidates to upload their work and MSIT faculty to access for evaluation. After faculty evaluate the artifacts candidates submitted, the assessment data are collected through the report-management features of TaskStream™. The report management process related to NCATE accreditation requires consideration of an array of very specific questions, such as:
The primary aspect of the pilot implementation phase was intellectual in nature; the purpose was to gain consensus among program faculty to determine how to assess program goals. Typically, at NYIT the faculty makes decisions on the assessment information to report for each program. The process and lessons learned were shared with teacher education and school counseling faculty for expanding the application to other programs in the School of Education. Once the pilot proved successful and was used for NCATE reporting, the e-portfolio system became 'institutionalized'. However the process requires continually updating as TaskStream™ is updated, monitoring to ensure that faculty are complying with the requirements for candidates to submit artifacts and with their responsibility to evaluate candidate's submission. The fidelity of reports is reliant on consistent implementation. Reports generated by the system allow faculty to look at individual and group mastery of program objectives as well as state and national standards. However it can be perceived as an additional requirement not integral to the actual teaching of the course. As a result, in some cases, faculty other than the course instructor, are called upon to evaluate the candidate's artifacts. This is possible, although not preferred, with TaskStream™ because it is a database of rubrics standard for each section of all courses in the program. The data was relatively easy to collect and evaluate for the recent report for the AECT accreditation with all the data stored in TaskStream™, although for some sections, candidates' artifacts evaluations were incomplete.
Training and Support
The adoption of new technology by faculty is never an easy task. In addition to the usual problems of implementation, the MSIT program is offered on multiple campuses and courses are taught by no less than 40 individual full-time and adjunct faculty. These factors create a major training challenge. The faculty member assigned the training responsibilities applied a model-based formula Marcus (1995) which states that Adoption = Perceived Value, Resources, Communication among adopters. As with most new technologies being introduced, the initial question of the faculty is "how it will help me?". The initial overview of the e-portfolio system demonstrated how it would assist faculty in the collection, organization and evaluation of the graduate candidates' work.
The design of the TaskStream™ system facilitates access to technology resources. It is a total web-based system allowing faculty and candidates to access it from anywhere an Internet connection available. Documentation is readily available online and in printable format. The vendor provides detailed online quick-start training guides on using the portfolio and webcasts for changes and updates. In addition, NYIT faculty developed training guides in both printed and electronic formats, specifically for candidates on how to upload digital files to the DRF, and for faculty related to how to evaluate candidates' work.
Face-to-face hands-on training facilitated communication among the adopters allowing faculty to assist each other and share ideas for implementation. Initially training sessions were held as a small focus group of full-time faculty members facilitated by the NYIT training coordinator. Next, the system was introduced to the remaining full-time faculty at a regular faculty meeting using compressed video connection between the three NYIT campuses. Adjunct faculty members close to campus were invited to attend. In addition, several sessions for adjunct faculty were held in-person at a number of sites using video-conferencing equipment at off-site locations. Training for new faculty continues through live webinars on Elluminate™ periodically scheduled each semester. Also a Faculty Forum is setup in BlackBoard as a repository of all training materials, videos, print materials, and archived webinars that faculty can access at anytime.
The TaskStream™ system allows faculty to continue their conversations through the discussion board feature. A general discussion board is set up for all program faculty with a separate forum for faculty for all sections of each course. These discussion boards facilitate full-time and adjunct faculty collaboration with increased opportunity to share ideas and ask questions. A faculty member monitors the discussions boards to answer any questions posted and to provide information about updates and upcoming training events. An added bonus and opportunity for collaboration is that all faculty participants have access to online discussions with faculty from all other colleges and universities using this e-portfolio system.
The NYIT committee collected data from a variety of sources and analyzed the result in the end of Spring 2005 semester. The Spring 2005 semester involved approximately 250 MSIT candidates use of the e-portfolio system in all sections of the 12 courses in the MSIT program. The candidates uploaded performance assessment artifacts deemed to demonstrate knowledge and skills that meet the designated program standards. At the end of Spring 2005 semester surveys were distributed to faculty to investigate their attitudes toward using the e-portfolio. Also faculty participated in focus groups to probe the issues, concerns, and suggestions that arose during the pilot implementation. Several candidates' e-portfolios were analyzed to measure how their performances align with AECT standards and program goals. Individual candidates were interviewed to investigate their attitudes, benefits and motivation for using e-portfolios, and ideas for future uses of their e-portfolio.
Faculty focus group
The e-portfolio project helps faculty reflect on alignment between the standards and their implementation in the learning environment. The e-portfolio system allows collection of exemplars and a mechanism for candidates to monitor their learning progress through the entire master's program. Faculty feel that the e-portfolio system provides a framework which serves as an anchor for their teaching. It increases opportunity for communication between candidates, helps adjunct faculty at off-site teaching centers to be more aware of the program objectives. It collects data more thoroughly, and generates data reports more efficiently.
The challenge of using a standardized assessment program is obtaining faculty consensus for the appropriate keystone assignment, criteria and assessment rubrics. To meet the program goals, assessment criteria are very high level so that faculty cannot rely on the rubric to assess the precise discreet learning objectives of individual assignments. However, by having criteria for each standard set, gross evaluation reflected in a single numeric score is easily attained. Faculty, including adjunct faculty, for other programs in NYIT School of Education provided input into developing keystones and rubrics course by course. The MSIT program began the e-portfolio process with keystones and rubrics already developed which facilitated a quicker adoption rate.
Faculty survey
The results of the initial faculty survey concur with the faculty interviews. Most faculty members believe that using TaskStream™ could help them and the candidates to become more aware of the program objectives and AECT standards (82% agree or strongly agree, N=10), collect assignments in various formats (73% agree or strongly agree), facilitate submission of assignments (92% agree or strongly agree), encourage candidates to be more self-regulated and organized (43% agree or strongly agree), acquaint candidates with curriculum standards (73% agree or strongly agree) and facilitate communication (73% agree or strongly agree). They also identified (64% agree or strongly agree) that the training materials provided are helpful.
Candidates' perspectives
From the candidates' perspectives, the keystone assignments in the e-portfolio system helps them demonstrate their professional and technology skills. The upload to the web-based system and the associated web-based tools for a personal webpage, lesson plan, rubrics, standards sets are all helpful in designing and developing the artifacts. Candidates can decide whether they intend to display their artifacts publicly. The list the keystone assignments for each course in their program helps candidates monitor their own progress of learning and understand the scope of what they will learn throughout the program. Faculty frequently encourage candidates to review their artifacts and reflect on the evidence of their knowledge and skills, and evaluate their growth throughout the program. If candidates are comfortable with their work and see the value of the e-portfolio, they will find various functions and applications for its use. For instance, the e-portfolio can be useful as part of a resume in finding a desirable teaching position or when applying for a transfer, new position or tenure.
Implementation, like design, varies from institution to institution. Training and support are key for participating faculty to using the e-portfolio system with candidates, as well as providing support for all users. Often candidates figure out how to use the system fairly quickly and easily, but faculty adoption sometimes requires more human support. Faculty buy-in and ownership are crucial to the successful adoption of the e-portfolio process. Administrative leadership is also vital to support the adoption and ensure that faculty and candidates have what they need for implementation.
Having used TaskStream™ for an e-portfolio assessment system for the past five years through two NCATE cycles has demonstrated the value for program evaluation. The accountability to provide evidence of student learning that meets standards is easily accomplished through consistent and continual implementation of the process in every course. However, it is not an automatic process. Ongoing training and support is needed to keep faculty up-to-date and bring new faculty on board. Continual monitoring of implementation is also required for maintaing a reliable and consistent systematic process.
A down-side of an institutionalized assessment process is the difficulty in making changes. Keystone assignments may be written in fairly general, global terminology to be resilient to time, but, with technology, there is always the compelling urge to be current and have an agility for change. The assessment process can hinder staying current and agile in some aspects for advancement. Faculty training and mindset may exacerbate the inertia. However if assessment and evaluation are viewed as an ongoing change process for continuous improvement, basic tenets of change continue to apply (Fullan, 2001). That is, acknowledge past experiences and assimilate them into system refinements or redesign; provide adequate professional development and support; plan for incremental changes; maintain open lines of communication; provide reinforcement and feedback loops; and celebrate successes.

Another disputed election. Another crackdown.
- By Joshua Keating
Joshua Keating was an associate editor at Foreign Policy
This time it's Togo:
Togo's top opposition candidate said Monday that security forces have been provoking demonstrators with force, a day after the group staged protests claiming last week's presidential election was rigged to favor the son of the country's longtime dictator.
Anti-riot police sealed off the sandy alleys leading to the headquarters of the opposition party, stranding the country's opposition leader Jean-Pierre Fabre outside for more than an hour in a tense standoff days after the disputed vote.
The 57-year-old Fabre vowed Sunday to take to the streets every day to protest what he says was a fraudulent election, saying he would only stop when the police had exhausted their stock of tear gas or killed him.
From Kenya to Zimbabwe to Iran to Sri Lanka, the seemingly fraudulent eection followed by mass protest and government crackdown is becoming a familiar pattern. While Togo is unlikely to command international media attention long enough to get a "color" designation, it seems to fit the mold.
The optimistic view of all these bloody post-elections is that opposition movements are becoming bolder about challenging fraudulent results. The bad news is that except for the original color revolutions in Ukraine and Georgia, the authorities always seem to win these confrontations.

I try to remain open minded until I have been there and done that myself and gained hands on personal experience with a product. You won't see me make a statement like "best ever, or this is the only way." I will state what works for me and quantify that statement with my opinion and findings.
There are a lot of different ways to get from point A to point B, especially in the firearms field, and the way one does it isn't necessarily good for the next. Here is something that I am still experimenting with, but am drawing a favorable conclusion for limited use.
The Zacchaeus minimalist holster built by Dale Frick Holsters is a kydex "trigger sheath" that, while being carried AIWB Mexican carry (appendix in the waistband, sans traditional holster), attaches to the wearer's belt with a nylon cord. The cordage keeps the Zacchaeus and gun from sliding down into the wearer's pants too deeply or allowing it to move horizontally around the waist band.
I have found this method of carry very secure, surprisingly so in fact. With no loss of weapon retention or control. I feel completely secure in carrying this way for casual, non-active activities; running to the grocery store, renting a movie, errands, etc.
I have found my XD service model .40 S&W conceals easily and securely. The weapon doesn't shift anymore than one wants an appendix rig to shift being that some movement is good for this technique when going from standing to seated positions or bending. In fact, except for not having the extra bulk of a holster IWB it feels like the gun is holstered traditionally anyway.
Where this type of rig shines is in carrying off the body in a purse for the girls, briefcase, day planner, pocket carry in a CC jacket or vest, glove box, or nightstand for home defense. This device will keep the trigger covered on a striker/SA fired design, those without external safety like the Glocks, XDs, etc. I don't find this necessary with DA or a pistol with an external safety, but for a machine that goes bang with very little trigger pressure I like it. Especially when half asleep and fumbling for a weapon when you hear that bump in the night and reach for your HD gun. With this product you have something protecting you from negligently pulling the trigger while trying to get a firing grip in the dark.
I like this product. I won't be giving up my leather rigs for it, but it fills a niche and a purpose for me.

text: I just purchased a 98K mauser with a turned down bolt I think. I believe it's a Yugo capture because it has the Yugo crest stamped on the receiver ring. It looks like a replacement barrel so there are no meaningful markings on it. It says K98 German mauser 8mm cai st air vt. The receiver has Preduzece 44 and Mod 98 stamped on the left side and the right side has J5893. When I measure the distance between the screws on the trigger plate it measures 7 13/16th. This makes it a large action. When I view pictures in Mauser Military Rifles of the World I see a picture that indicates I have an M48. The stock has the regular sling that threads through the stock, no bolt take down disks and the thin butt plate. The sear has 43 stamped on the side and some insignia like a small triplane stamped on the trigger and sear. Do I have a 98K?

One of the main things I see inefficient runners do, is swing their legs in a low, pendular swing. If your foot swings forward as it meets the oncoming road, that braking motion creates an impact felt in your knees, hips and lower back. This braking motion not only creates more impact to your body, it makes your muscles work harder than is necessary. In the Chi Running method, the most efficient leg swing is one in which your foot swings rearward the instant it hits the ground. In the best case scenario, it's actually moving rearward at the same speed as the oncoming road. This creates the least amount of braking and horizontal impact at the moment of touchdown.
So, how do you keep from swinging into the road and get your foot to come straight down onto the road?

Back in the days before Chi Running, whenever I thought about running faster, my mind would immediately slip into fear mode. OMG, it's so much work… I'm going to be breathing really hard… I don't have enough strength… it's going to be so much EFFORT!

In Chi Running, one of our basic goals is injury prevention. You can basically divide almost all running injuries (outside of accidents) to one of two categories: overuse and impact. I've never taken the time to study which one creates more injuries, but I'd be curious to find out. Today I'm talking about impact.

I'm sure that many of you have heard of the lawsuit incurred by Vibram for claiming that wearing their minimalist shoes would help strengthen you body and make you run better. Because of this lawsuit, many so-called experts are trying to tie injury-rates from minimalist shoes to the fault of the shoes, or even to the manufacturer. This is misleading, at best.

Are you moving symmetrically when you run? This is a tough question, but an important one to ask yourself. Our bodies are designed to work in a way where all the parts contribute to the movement of the whole. Most of these parts work in pairs: our legs, feet, arms, and all of the bilateral muscles that move our body. If one half of any of these "pairs" is not matching the movement of its "twin" your body will move in an unbalanced way, triggering nearby muscles to work harder to compensate for the imbalance.
Thanks. I've had phenomenal results so far with using ideas from Born To Run...and then from Chi Running. I should have read Chi Running first.
