What would you like to do?
Can children receive incarcerated parents social security?
The USA Social Security Administration states that children who receive benefits through an incarcerated parent: "Although you cannot receive monthly Social Security benefits while you are confined, benefits to your spouse or children will continue as long as they remain eligible."
Was this answer useful?
Thanks for the feedback!
Are there Social Security benefits for children with a deceased parent?
Answer Contact your local social security administration office.The child may qualify for social security survivors benefits every month until they are 18.…The other living parent may also be eligible for benefits until the child reaches a cetain age.
Can a parent be claimed as a dependent for federal tax purposes if they receive social security?
Answer To be your dependent, a person must be either your qualifying child or your qualifying relative. Generally, a person is your qualifying relative if that pe…rson: * Lives with or is related to you, * Does not have $3,300 or more of gross (total) income, * Is supported (generally more than 50%) by you, and * Is neither your qualifying child nor the qualifying child of anyone else. For details, see Exemptions for Dependents in Publication 501 Answer Answered my own question from William Perez's Tax Planning Blog (http://taxes.about.com/b/a/238014.htm) Parents would fall under the category of "qualifying relatives" under the new rules for claiming a dependent. Under these rules, you can claim your parents as dependents if they each earn less than $3,200 in taxable income and you provide more than half of their total financial support. If their only source of income is Social Security, then none of their Social Security benefits are taxable, and they would have zero taxable income. In that situation and you provided over half of their financial support, then yes you can claim your parents as dependents. (And they don't have to live with you either, since there's no residency requirement for parents.)
Do children with a deceased parent receive social security through college?
No, or very rarely at least. Social Security ends when you either turn 18, or when you graduate from High School. The age that children of a deceased parent stop receiving S…ocial Security is age 18, after they graduate from High School. They can receive it until 19, if they haven't graduated high school and still attending. I called Social Security after I posted my first comment. When they turn 18, they can have their money direct deposit to their account if the child wants, or they choose to have a check sent to them direct, until they graduate at age 19,
Can a child receive Social Security benefits for a deceased parent who never worked?
No. Unfortunately, survivor benefits are only paid if the deceased earned wages and accumulated sufficient credits through FICA taxes.
You already have two children receiving a check from your Social Security disability can you add another on?
If you have another child, he or she would also be eligible for benefits; however, you are already receiving your family maximum benefit for the two children, so adding a thir…d would simply make each child's benefit smaller. Each would receive one-third of the family benefit, rather than one-half.
If you are awarded Social Security disability back pay will your children receive back pay?
Yes. You and each qualified minor child will receive a separate check or direct deposit based on the number of months of back pay awarded multiplied by the monthly benefit amo…unt. Your children's lump sum payments will be smaller than yours, but should be equal to each other unless one (or more) of your children was born during the settlement period. A child cannot receive back pay for any months awarded prior to his or her birth. The Social Security Administration requires the representative payee to set up separate savings accounts for each child, showing the child as the owner of the account, to ensure the lump sum benefits are protected. For more information, see Sources and Related Links, below.
Can children draw social security if their parent commits suicide?
If a working parent has met all the other criteria, then upon his death his dependents would qualify for Social Security benefits. By dependents, I mean children, spouses, etc…. There is no cause of death clause in Social Security survivor benefits, like you would find in a standard life insurance policy. 33% of Social Security benefits are given to adults. Whether there is a surviving parent does not matter. In fact the surviving spouse would also receive survivor benefits.
Can I Receive disability social security after receiving social security?
Once you reach retirement age, your Social Security Disability benefits convert to regular retirement benefits, payable at the same rate. You cannot collect an additional amou…nt due to disability. It is possible that you could qualify for the SSI supplemental security income, which is based on disability and income, in addition to your month Social Security benefit, but this is a different program and is not administered by the SSA. The amount of SSI paid is adjusted monthly based on what the person was able to earn in that month.
Can an incarcerated person receive Social Security benefits?
No. A person who lives for more than 30 days in a tax-supported facility, like jail, prison or a nursing home, cannot receive Social Security benefits. If the person is later …released, he or she can begin receiving payments again, but will not be paid back benefits for the time spent incarcerated.
Can you get social security disability back pay for the months you were incarcerated?
No, but most can generally receive social security once they are out.
Do surviving children receive their parents social security?
Only if underage
Social security benefits for children with a deceased parent?
yes the children with deceased parents get social security benefit's. but only if the parents were workers in the US.
Is it possible to receive unclaimed Social Security benefits from a parent?
No. There really is no such thing as "unclaimed" Social Security benefits. If a person pays FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes but dies before he or she can collect ben…efits, his or her widow or widower and minor children, or adult children disabled before age 22 (if applicable) can collect monthly checks for survivors' benefits. Able-bodied adult children or those who became disabled after age 22 cannot collect money from a parent's Social Security (FICA) contributions. The unpaid amount remains in the Social Security trust fund. It is possible that a deceased parent was due one monthly Social Security payment at the time of death. Under these circumstances, the benefit can be paid to the next of kin. For more information, see Sources and Related Links, below.
In Adoption
Can a adopted child receive their birth parents social security?
are u that stupid? your child can take it!
Can a child receive social security benefits if on parent dies?
There is a child benefit check until the child reaches age 18.

Leg scissors add another edge of exercise to building strong abdominals. It is a workout consisting of two movements, horizontal and vertical leg motions that really work on your core.
The good thing about this choice of workout is that it helps to focus on the lower abdominal muscles that can get neglected if you only choose to do normal ab crunches.
Do not arch your back during the exercise because it can cause lower back pains and strains.
Start slow, if you have not been working your abdominals, they need some time to warm up to such workouts. Do not be discouraged, be slow and steady and you will get there.
Yes, you can do your scissoring a little faster, but that does not mean that you zoom through the entire process.
Going too fast does not help your muscles and can cause injuries, so if you are struggling, perhaps cut down the timing to 5 seconds even. The important thing is to be consistent and determined.
Half a minute of vertical scissoring and another half for horizontal ones! You sure will feel those abs waking up.
For the truly strong willed, you can try putting on some weights and try doing this exercise. You will surely feel a huge difference!
Now that you are better aware about this great exercise, go give it a shot. Remember what Yoda said?
"Do or do not. There is no try."
Quite apt, yes? You can do it! I believe you can!

The current/voltage characteristics of mixed (ion+electron) conductor-based 'TEMPOS' (
Ammonia is widely used to synthesize various materials in chemical industries. It is a colourless gas with a special odour and is very harmful to the human body. Ammonia is a highly toxic agent, as it has the potential to harm tissues and affect the immune system. It may inhibit growth in cell lines [
There are many principles for measuring both, gaseous and liquid phase ammonia described in literature. The most frequently used techniques in commercial gaseous ammonia detectors are conducting polymer ammonia analyzers, metal-oxide ammonia sensors, catalytic ammonia detectors, and optical ammonia detection techniques [
Ammonia sensors based on metal oxides SnO2 [
Catalytic ammonia sensors have response time ∼1s and lower detection limit as 1 ppm whereas the optical ammonia sensors have response time as 1 s and limit as 1ppb [
Our interest lies in the room temperature sensing of gaseous ammonia using an ion track-based device called 'TEMPOS'-Tunable Electronic Materials with Pores in Oxide on Silicon [
TEMPOS structures have already been found to be good humidity sensors [
Polymer electrolytes are ion conductors formed by complexing dissociable salts like ammonium iodide, ammonium perchlorate, etc. with a polar polymer [polyethylene oxide (PEO), polypropylene oxide (PPO), etc.]. Mixed (ion + electron) conducting polymers are obtained by the dispersal of semiconductor like CdS, PbS, ZnS, etc. in polymer electrolyte such as PEO:NH4ClO4. This introduces substantial electronic conductivity in an otherwise pure ionic conductor, which is thus an ideal electrode material for solid-state devices [
Detection of gases is generally carried out by measurement of the dc resistance of films. The sample resistance measured using dc current has contributions from different regions of the sample such as intragrain areas, grain boundaries and electrode-sample interface. As these contributions cannot, in the general case, be separated from each other, impedance spectroscopy is additionally employed here [
Without exposure to ammonia and/or water, the TEMPOS structures behave as diodes (
This diode-like behaviour stems from the band transition of the track material (mixed conductor) and the semiconducting substrate. When used as a two terminal device (gate voltage being zero or gate terminal floating,
The measurements were carried out over the frequency range 1Hz – 100 KHz with voltages varying from 1 to 5 V. Each measurement corresponds to the average value of 64 readings. The whole system was kept in a probing vessel (as shown in
Measurements were first recorded with pure water in the probing vessel and then with various concentrations of ammonia solution leaving the sample to equilibrate for 24 hours in the new atmosphere. With each change in voltage, the system was again left to stabilize for at least 30 min. In total, four samples were studied using always the same polymer electrolyte (PEO/NH4ClO4). Whereas one sample was used as prepared, in the other three cases ZnS, PbS and CdS nanoparticles were dispersed in the polymer electrolyte.
The Cole–Cole plots clearly show (
Ammonium hydroxide dissociates to give both ammonia gas and water vapour. In order to bring out the contribution of both vapours, impedance measurements were first taken for samples exposed to the same volume of water and then for various concentrations of ammonium hydroxide solution.
Impedance values are smaller and the capacitance is larger on exposure to ammonia vapour than to water. The large dielectric constant of water contributes to this. At high frequencies, the water dipoles are not able to cope up with the fast change in direction of the applied signal and hence attain a constant value.
The gas sensing behaviour of TEMPOS structures is a cumulative response of the silicon dioxide [
Other corresponding salts were dispersed to get PbS and ZnS based mixed conductors. The pores, such as etched ion tracks, can be filled with material by many techniques such as drying of an embedded solution, pressure injection, galvanic deposition, chemical deposition, evaporation, etc. [
In the present study, Si wafers with thickness of a few hundred micrometer, were obtained commercially. Subsequently, the samples were oxidized in dry atmosphere at 1200°C to obtain SiO2 layers of ∼100 nm thickness. Thereafter, the sample was exposed to 350 MeV Au26+ions at fluence 109ions/cm2. The applied fluence was below the onset of ion track overlapping. The tracks in the oxide layer were etched with 0.55% HF solution for ∼ 14 minutes and then rinsed in de-ionized water. The etchant preferentially attacks the ion–irradiated zones and leaves the un-irradiated oxide and the silicon unaffected. The etching time determines the size and shape of the pores.
A methanolic solution of mixed conductor was inserted into the tracks. The mixed conductors used in the present study are 5 wt.% Cd (Pb or Zn) salt dispersed in PEO:NH4ClO4 (96:4). A syringe was used to insert the solution in several steps drop by drop onto the sample and letting it dry. This procedure resulted in the dispersion of the semi-conducting nano-crystals on the ion track walls. Finally, three contacts were made with conducting silver paste and the sample was left to dry (
Usually, TEMPOS test structures are constructed such that they have one back contact
At first, the samples were exposed to water of constant volume and Cole-Cole plots were taken. Thereafter, ammonia solution (of same volume) was taken and the sample had direct exposure to the ammonia vapours. The whole set up was kept inside an air tight chamber and Cole-Cole plots were made at 1 to 5V for various concentrations of ammonia solutions (0%, 1%, 3%, 25% and 75%) and frequencies ranging from 1 Hz to 100 KHz.
With increasing concentration of ammonia solution, the radius of curvature of the arcs (Cole-Cole plots) decreases, thereby indicating a decrease in resistance. The impedance change takes place over a wide range of ammonia concentrations.
Ammonium hydroxide dissociates to give both ammonia gas and water vapour. The arcs of smaller radii when exposed to ammonium hydroxide solution are due to the higher number of protons available for conduction. Impedance values are smaller and the capacitance is larger on exposure to ammonia vapour than to water. The large dielectric constant of water contributes to this. At high frequencies, the water dipoles are not able to cope up with the fast change in direction of the applied signal and hence attain a constant value. The gas sensing behaviour of TEMPOS structures is a cumulative response of the silicon dioxide, the polymer electrolyte and the mixed conductors embedded in the etched tracks. Sensitivity of sensors depends on frequency, material in tracks and voltage of applied signal. The set up is inexpensive and working temperature is room temperature.

For those who have attended a military funeral in the United States, or even watched one on television, you know there's certain traditional ceremonial actions taken. The folding and presentation of the flag, the firing of a 3-volley salute, and the playing of Taps are all standard. In addition to these standard elements, there are several volunteer support and advocacy groups who often provide additional services to the family of the bereaved. Three of those organizations, The National Memorial Ladies, The American Legion, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars are all now embroiled in a controversy raging in Texas over what kinds of religious speech are allowed, without permission, at military fu … [Read more...]

Hello, I was wondering if we are allowed to include plugins with our wordpress themes.
The reason why is that I am using a plugin but have modified it and would rather include the modified plugin instead of instructing the buyer to download it and change the various parts of the code.
Plugins are not allowed to be included. Besides, if you modify a plugin and it gets updated, you lose your modifications.
I usually set a default and then if the plugin is installed have it show something else.
<?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(); } else { nav left nav right ?>
You need permissions from the author of the plugin
Why was I told they were not allowed to be included and I had to remove them when I last uploaded a theme?
Just provide a download link in your instructions – I have done the same with a few of my wordpress themes where I've modded plugins…
Alright thanks guys, it will be more steps for the buyer but I guess I will just instruct them to download it.

Not really sure what you mean by ARP Proxy, but in any case then it will be
4 separate channels. I don't really care about the 24mbps I more need the
ability to handle more users, like I want to put 100 users on 2 ADSLs (or
lets say 200 on 1x T1 + 1x ADSL) My DSLs goes 6Mbps each already, so I think
that wouldn't be too crapy for my users.
But if I can load and balance it would be even better :-)
PS: I wonder, back in the days of 56k we used to tandem 2 modem together
with some app, and it gave us like 100kbps

Using m0n0wall only, no.
If the DSL provider supports this via shared gateway on the same IP
range. I'm doing this with m0n0wall and my DSL connections to get 3.0
Mbps (1.5 Mbps each) but you don't really get combined bandwidth, what
you get is two IP addresses on the same WAN interface that you can
firewall/NAT to wherever you like. You won't get combined bandwidth when
downloading for example. You'll need a switch to plug to all 4 Ethernet
connections from the DSL modems into, then one Ethernet into the
m0n0wall, then using Proxy ARP entries in m0n0wall to pick up the 4 IP
addresses. You still need to reserve one IP address as the main WAN of
m0n0wall as well, so really just 3 Proxy ARP entries for the other IP
address. They have to be static IP, this won't work on 4 DHCP assigned
DSL modems with m0n0wall.
You won't get 24 Mbps for a download, but you'll have 4 "channels" of
bandwidth to use, so you can dedicate one for web servers, e-mail,
personal web surfing, etc. Otherwise, you'll have to look at another
firewall software package.

Looking for a unique party idea this Christmas season? Consider a progressive dinner party, whereby a group of friends plan a meal together. Then each couple prepares and serves one course at their home. The party moves from place to place during the night.
The host of the Progressive Dinner Party's first course has a little less pressure to get things done in advance. But there are some do-ahead elements that will make entertaining even easier.
Try serving Pinecone-Shaped Blue Cheese Spread which you can make early in the day and refrigerate. Just before guests arrive, unmold, garnish with nuts and serve with crackers.
Have the ingredients for cocktails ready to go on your counter. But make the drinks as requested by guests.
The main course can be the most challenging part of a progressive dinner. But with a Brisket with Cranberry Gravy and Sesame Broccoli, dinner can be served in a dash.
The dessert course is great to host because sweet treats can be made in advance.
Make the Peppermint Angel Roll two days in advance.
Bake Chocolate Mint Cream Cake the day before.
Remove the torte from the freezer 10 minutes before serving and garnish as desired.
End the evening on a sweet note with after-dinner drinks and Apricot Sesame Cookies cookies.
In the morning, prepare the glasses dipped in chocolate to be used for the Viennese Coffee; refrigerate.
Before leaving for the first house, start the coffee in the slow cooker and grate the chocolate.
Whip the cream and refrigerate. Stir the cream before using.

While he never mentioned anything about Vegemite sandwiches, there's no doubting Michale Lord's roots. He was born in Fairfield, New South Whales, Australia, a suburb of Sydney, so one can only assume that said sandwiches are part of his daily caloric intake. I mean it's either Vegemite or shrimp on the barbie in Australia, right?
By his recollection, he started building things around the age of 9 or 10. He was always modifying bikes or building billy carts (what we Americans call soapbox cars). He also enjoyed damming up the creek by his house and then blowing it up with fireworks. Like so many of us, Michael also enjoyed taking things apart to see how they worked, such as clocks. Also like many of us, they never went back together. There were also the mandatory experiments with electricity (240V, not our wimpy 110V). By 'experiment', I mean he removed switch covers and then got zapped by it. Isn't that how we all learned?
Michael figures his interest in design came about because of the era he grew up in (late 60's/early 70's). Couple the lunar landing with a neighbor who had stacks of Popular Mechanic magazines and another young boy was sucked into the glamorous world of design.
I'm a bit confused by the Australian education system, but what I am able to figure out is that Michael left school at 15 and got an apprenticeship in Carpentry and Joinery. It was assumed that he'd go on to college, having come in first in mathematics, technical drawing and woodwork, so his decision left many scratching their heads. However, Michael has no regrets. His career path eventually brought him (back) to Trakka Ply Limited, an Australian RV customizer, where he brought them into modern times by introducing them to AutoCAD and then to SolidWorks.
The switch to SolidWorks was, and I quote, "the start of the greatest change in both how we designed but also how we manufactured". They used to have to wait for a vehicle to show up before they could begin measuring, etc. With SolidWorks, they're able to get the vehicle files from the manufacturer and design everything prior to the vehicle arriving, saving tons of man hours in the process. They've also realized savings of floor space, in marketing costs and in build time.
In 2011, Michael made the trip to SolidWorks World as the winner of the SolidWorks World Correspondent Contest. It was something he absolutely didn't expect as his entry was meant to entertain himself by ribbing his American friends. Well, Michael, the joke was on you…sort of.
Aside from traveling to SolidWorks World, Michael enjoys being the father of 20-year old triplets, playing around with SolidWorks, some chess and road trips. Sounds like a great life!

Computer Science Department News
Robert Neal (Jan 9, 1990 - Dec 10, 2012)
Robert J. Neal III, an information systems and technology major, joined the ODUCS Systems Group in April of 2010. For the next two and a half years he worked closely with many of the faculty and staff on various problems, new solutions, and applications. With his strong background in network engineering and information systems, he was one of the key individuals assisting in the CS Department's recent wireless network upgrade to provide better coverage, faster connection and better quality of service. His love of technology, computer components, and mobile devices led him to assist the Systems Group in research and planning of new systems, tools, and services to offer to the department and students. As a student system administrator for the department he helped oversee the network infrastructure and maintained several facets of the department's Microsoft Windows domain. As one of our brightest tech support personnel, his skills and talents will be a loss to all who had the pleasure of working with him. His upbeat walk, constant smile, eager attitude, and helpful personality will be missed throughout the halls and facilities of the Computer Science Department and the ODU Campus itself. The Systems Group, Computer Science Department, and all who knew him, mourn his loss and our thoughts are with his family and friends during this time. Robert, you will be missed.

I want a girl who is very intelligent and confident in herself. Someone who likes to keep herself in shape, and pushes herself in other aspects of her life as well. I want someone who's going to stand up for herself when she thinks I'm wrong, and a goofy or sarcastic sense of humor is a definite plus. If you don't like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia I am not sure I can even relate to you, just kidding.
I am confident, hardworking, and fun

The 2009 NHL entry draft takes place tomorrow evening so lets talk draft and trade rumours. The first thing that everyone needs to know is that not all players drafted tomorrow night in the first round will become NHL star players, or even good NHL players. The truth is the majority of those drafted in the first round tomorrow will go down in history as 'draft flops'. That is unfortunate because most of them aren't flops, they are just subject to the laws of reality and the reality is that it is simply not possible for every top 18 year old hockey player to make the NHL and excel. There just aren't enough NHL roster spots for that to occur.
Toronto media and fans love to talk trash about the Leafs drafting ability over the past decade or two but it is really unfounded. Many call Nik Antropov a bit of a failure because while he is a good player, he didn't turn out to be a star as one would expect from a 10th overall pick. Let me toss out 10 names for you: Jocelyn Thibault, Nolan Baumgartner, Radek Dvorak, Lance Ward, Brad Ference, Bransilav Menzei, Mikhail Yakubov, Dan Blackburn, Eric Nystrom, and Andrei Kostitsyn. Those names represent the 10th overall draft picks in the five years before Nik Antropov was drafted in 1998 and the five years after. Dvorak has had a pretty decent career as a second line player. He's played 976 games, scored 194 goals and racked up 502 points. Kostitsyn is a skilled player that looks to have a promising career probably not unlike Dvorak's though possibly a bit better. He currently has 52 goals and 108 points in 186 games played. Jocelyn Thibault had a pretty decent career has a second tier starter or solid backup. The rest didn't really turn out to be much of anything. So is Antropov, who currently sits at 527 games played with 132 goals and 304 points, a bust. Not even close. Rather, he seems more like the upper end of the scale of what you can expect with the #10 pick. Yes, there will be the odd truly star player taken 10th overall like Teemu Selanne in 1988 but they are rare.
For more discussion on draft picks and the likelihood that they will become NHL regulars you can take a look at my Draft Schmaft post from a few years ago. Scott Cullen over at TSN.ca has a similar analysis and you can also find an interesting draft analysis over at Pension Plan Puppets.
There has been a lot of talk about Brian Burke's public statements that he would love to trade up in the draft and select John Tavares. This task just became more difficult when it seems that Oren Koules has won the power struggle over Len Barrie. Koules it seems is more interested in cutting salary to levels very close to the salary cap floor ($40 million). If this is ones goal it probably means that you want young players on your roster so they are more likely to keep the pick and are less likely to be interested in someone like Kaberle who, outside of Luke Schenn (who is unlikely to be traded), is their most valued asset. It seems more likely that Burke could trade up with Atlanta to get the #4 pick where he could select Evander Kane or Luke's Schenn's brother Brayden. My gut tells me that if Burke can't trade up to get into the top 5 and one of the top 5 for some reason doesn't fall to #7 he'll seriously consider looking at trading down and picking up an extra pick or two in the process, not unlike what the Islanders did last year when they traded the 5th overall pick to Toronto for Toronto's 7th overall pick and a 3rd round pick and a 2nd round pick in this years draft and then flipped the 7th overall pick to Nashville for the 9th overall pick and a second round pick. So the Islanders dropped from 5th to 9th and picked up two second round picks and a third round pick in the process. Burke may try to do something along those lines to help fill out the Leafs prospect pool.
Another Leaf rumour going around is that the Leafs are interested in Wade Redden. This has shocked many because most people see Redden as a flop and at his salary and contract length is a waste of time. There is some truth to this. His game has fallen off a bit the last couple of seasons and he is over paid at $6.5 million but he is still a good player capable of playing big minutes (he was 23 in time on ice per game for defensemen at 23:24) and in the right trade, it could make sense. First off, acquiring Redden would make it easier to trade one or both of Kaberle and Kubina which should land Burke with more prospects or draft picks which would amount to cheap players being on the team to offset Redden's expensive contract. Second, it may be possible for the Leafs to rid themselves of a big contract in the process by, for example, including Jason Blake in the deal. It may also be the case that the Rangers, who have cap issues, may be looking to get rid of Redden at any cost and may be willing to include a draft pick and/or a prospect in the deal just to make it happen. Burke is looking long term and he desperately wants to stock up on prospects to make that happen and if he can flip Kaberle and Kubina (and their $9.25 million in contracts for the upcoming season) for prospects and pick up Redden to offset that loss and maybe pick up a draft pick or prospect or dump a big salary of his own as well it may very well make sense to make that move and it should not be dismissed as a mistake in the process.
The Senators are desperately attempting to get something close to fair value for Dany Heatley but it seems unlikely. The Kings might have the best to offer in Alexander Frolov and possibly Jack Johnson but Frolov is a UFA after the 2009-10 and rumours are Jack Johnson is seeking $5 million per year on a new contract which is just plain ridiculous. Jarett Stoll is another possibility to be included in the deal. Minnesota is another possibility and maybe the Senators could get Pierre-Marc Bouchard and Marek Zidlicky bur Bouchard makes $4 million which seems like a lot for a 60 point guy (though maybe he would produce more in a more offensive oriented system) and Zidlicky is a UFA after this season. Heatley for an expensive Bouchard and one year of Zidlickly probably wouldn't appease many Senators fans. It'll be interesting to see how this unfolds.
It seems as likely as ever that Vincent Lecavalier will be traded (with Koules apparently getting control of the team) and the likely destinations are Montreal and Los Angeles. Los Angeles seems the more likely destination with the 5th overall pick in the draft as well as several other young (and more importantly cheap) assets that they could deal to Tampa for Lecavalier. The Kings could make quite the splash tomorrow if somehow they could land both Lecavalier and Heatley. Mix those two guys in with Anze Kopitar and Dustin Brown along with Drew Doughty, Thomas Hickey and maybe Jack Johnson on defence and Jonathan Bernier in goal and you have the makings of an awfully good team.
We don't yet know what the salary cap will be for next season (we should know very soon) but the Philadelphia Flyers could already be in serious cap trouble. As we sit right now the Flyers have close to $55 million in cap space allocated but if the NHLPA chooses not to apply the 5% escalator it is quite likely that next years cap will fall closer to $54 million meaning the Flyers are already over the cap and they only have one goalie (Ray Emery) signed. There is talk that they are interested in Jay Bouwmeester but that seems like a pipe dream unless they can rid themselves of both Hartnell and Lupul but losing them would be a serious hit to their forward depth (which may also lose Mike Knuble as a UFA). The Flyers will be the team hardest hit by a drop in the salary cap and it'll be interesting to see what moves they make to ease the situation.
The Boston Bruins are another team with cap issues as they currently sit at about $50.5 million spent with Phil Kessel to sign as well as another defenseman or two. One option would be to simply trade Kessel, and they would likely be a lot of interested buyers, but they would probably prefer to find a taker for Marco Sturm ($3.5 million cap hit) or Chuck Kobasew ($2.33 million). This is where Brian Burke, who has some cap space to play with, may once again step in and offer to take one of those guys off the Bruins hands if they would be willing to toss an extra draft pick or two his way.
San Jose has some cap issues as well. They have allocated close to $47 million in cap space but have Ryan Clowe, Marcel Goc, and Torrey Mitchel as RFA's and Rob Blake, Mike Grier and trade deadline pickup Travis Moen as UFAs. They may have to say goodbye to Mike Grier but they can probably make it work.

Man denies he raped partner with carrot
A 53-year-old Sligo man has gone on trial accused of raping his former partner with a carrot after severely beating her.
The man allegedly attacked the woman (45) in November 2011 because she was talking on the phone to a male friend.
She was later found by gardai at a neighbour's house in a bloodied dressing gown and with blood pooling at her feet.
She told the jury her jaw and nose were broken and she spent a week in hospital.
The trial, which continues at the Central Criminal Court, heard the accused admits hitting the woman – after she hit him – but denies rape.

The Lithonia Historic District, in Lithonia, DeKalb County, has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The district is outlined by the city limits of Lithonia. The nomination was sponsored by the City of Lithonia and the Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area Alliance, Inc.
Originally a crossroads settlement that served the trading needs of a small community of rural farmers, Lithonia grew with the development of the Georgia Railroad (now CSX). The rail line, which runs through the commercial center of town, connected Lithonia with Atlanta and Augusta in 1845. Beginning in the late 19th century, the line allowed Lithonia to prosper as a center of the regional granite industry. Lithonia gneiss, which the city is named for, has played a role in construction throughout the U.S. since 1879. Lithonia gneiss features prominently in much of the district's architecture, reinforcing the importance of the granite mining industry to the city's development.
The Lithonia Historic District is a large, diverse district comprising the intact historic resources within the current and historic municipal boundary of the city of Lithonia. The district is composed of a central commercial core, surrounded by residential development representing common late 19th- to mid-20th-century house types and styles. Main Street, the principle commercial corridor, runs perpendicular to the Georgia/CSX Railroad corridor, which bisects the district. Commercial buildings, constructed largely of brick and locally-quarried gneiss, are concentrated in a two-block area extending south along Main Street from its intersection with the railroad. Most storefronts are utilitarian in design with minimal detailing. Some noncontributing infill, including Lithonia Plaza (1968), a large commercial development surrounded by parking, is located on Main Street. The district includes a large number of community landmark buildings, including the Masonic Lodge (1916), the Lithonia Woman's Club (1928), the Lithonia First United Methodist Church (originally Lithonia M.E. Church, 1910), Antioch Baptist Church (1911), Lithonia Presbyterian Church, The Union Missionary Church (1911), the Bruce Street Elementary and High School (1955), and "The Seminary" (1895), which was individually listed in the National Register in 1978.
The National Register of Historic Places is our country's official list of historic buildings, structures, sites, objects, and districts worthy of preservation. The National Register provides formal recognition of a property's architectural, historical, or archaeological significance. It also identifies historic properties for planning purposes, and insures that these properties will be considered in the planning of state or federally assisted projects. National Register listing encourages preservation of historic properties through public awareness, federal and state tax incentives, and grants. Listing in the National Register does not place obligations or restrictions on the use, treatment, transfer, or disposition of private property.
The Historic Preservation Division (HPD) of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources serves as Georgia's state historic preservation office. Its mission is to promote the preservation and use of historic places for a better Georgia. HPD's programs include archaeology protection and education, environmental review, grants, historic resource surveys, tax incentives, the National Register of Historic Places, community planning and technical assistance.
The mission of the Department of Natural Resources is to sustain, enhance, protect and conserve Georgia's natural, historic and cultural resources for present and future generations, while recognizing the importance of promoting the development of commerce and industry that utilize sound environmental practices.

What Is It All About Eben Pagans NEW Virtual CEO Lifestyle Training Course? Check Out More Inside Our Exclusive Program Overview
There is a very big difference in between a mentor as well as a consultant with the new Virtual CEO Lifestyle training course by Eben Pagan. And also if you actually don't recognize let me inform you on a few of the facts of both. A coach is a person that has been the where you wish to be, years the prior, as well as they currently have the experience as well as knowledge to show you to help you get through the same mistakes in the process. If you have a person that you appreciate as a coach, yet they've never ever really done it themselves, then that person is even more of a coach.
When it involves consulting, most professionals that have larger firms as clients are actually there for the executive administration group to cover their butts. That is to state, a specialist comes in and blesses their choice as well as they have somebody to blame if points do not exercise. Remarkably sufficient, large corporations and executive management teams want to pay a bunch of cash to specialists that will verify them right with the new Virtual lifestyle.
When it pertains to smaller companies as well as carefully had companies, professionals are often taken a look at in a various light. The business owner, company owner, or small management group of a very closely held company has an interest in outcomes, but their specific team maybe does not have the encounter in a couple of locations that they need to, in order to progress. They do not desire to bring another individual into their administration team for something that may be temporary, therefore they will certainly employ a professional like Eben Pagan.
The online assistant (VA) business market has been one of the uncharted ventures in the past couple of years. Nevertheless, because of the worldwide economic downturn where several businesses shut, it has actually currently been tough for tiny and also medium entrepreneur to work with full time teams for their management as well as workplace needs. There are just a bunch of demands for entrepreneur to employ full-time personnels.

Whom Does the NRA Really Speak For?
Whom Does the NRA Really Speak For?
By Jordan Weissmann
But membership fees don't pay the NRA's bills alone. In recent years, the group has become more aggressive about seeking donations, both from individuals and corporations, and that in turn has led it to become more deeply entwined with the gun industry. In 2010, it received $71 million in contributions, up from $46.3 million in 2004. Some of that money came from small-time donors, who've received a barrage of fundraising appeals warning of President Obama's imminent plot to gut the Second Amendment and confiscate Americans' firearms. But around 2005, the group began systematically reaching out to its richest members for bigger checks through its "Ring of Freedom" program, which also sought to corral corporate donors. Between then and 2011, the Violence Policy Center estimates that the firearms industry donated as much as $38.9 million to the NRA's coffers. The givers include 22 different gun makers, including famous names like Smith & Wesson, Beretta USA, SIGARMS, and Sturm, Ruger & Co. that also manufacture so-called assault weapons.
Some of that funding has given the NRA a direct stake in gun and ammo sales. As Bloomberg noted in its January article, Sturm, Ruger & Co. launched a campaign to sell one million guns, and promised to donate $1 of each purchase to the group. Since 1992, MidWay USA, which retails gun supplies including ammo and controversial high-capacity magazines, has allowed its customers to round up each of their online and mail orders to the nearest dollar, and automatically donate the extra to the NRA. Together with other companies that have joined the effort, MidWay has helped collect more than $9 million for NRA. MidWay's owner, Larry Pottfield, also happens to be the the group's largest individual donor.
These connections have fueled the theory among some gun-control advocates that the NRA is just another corporate front. That might theoretically explain why the group has opposed politically popular measures such as requiring background checks at gun shows and banning sales to people on the terrorist watch list, proposals that even its own members have been found to support. For gun makers, the fewer rules, the better.
"They translate the industry's needs into less crass, less economically interested language -- into defending the home, into defending the country," Tom Diaz, the Violence Policy Center's senior policy analyst, told me in an interview. One example, he said, was concealed carry laws, which the NRA promotes as self-defense measures. As Diaz explained, letting private citizens carry their handguns in public also just happened to allow firearms manufacturers to make and market new, smaller weapons with higher calibers.
Or is it to keep them frightened? In his tell-all memoir, Ricochet: Confessions of a Gun Lobbyist, former NRA operative and consultant Richard Feldman argued that the group had degenerated into "a cynical, mercenary political cult," that was "obsessed with wielding power while relentlessly squeezing contributions from its members." Manipulating the fears of impassioned gun owners helped keep their wallets open, and helped to fund the rich pay packages for executives like LaPierre, who pocketed nearly $1 million in 2010.

1. 4 million NRA members is a small part of 300 million population.
Wake up America, don't let the tail wag the dog. If legislators are more concerned about their NRA rating or Norquist pledge should not
be allowed to represent the people. They will represent people on both sides of issues in their districts but will have to come down on one side in the end. That should reflect the will of the people not the size of the contribution by special interests. Govt of the people, for the people, by the people.

2. Gun lovers everywhere. Millions more support them, but too broke to pay dues.
Spent all their money on guns and ammo, supporting gun manufacturers and gun stores, that in turn support NRA.

6. Oh will you fucking stop already... So owning guns is outright support for the NRA but the only
reason I don't contribute to their causes is because I'm too broke? Fuck. Me. To. Tears.
For the Nth fucking time, I don't read their stuff, don't visit their website; don't support them in any fucking way whatsoever. Oh, and I guess because it needs to be stated outright; I am not now, nor have I ever been, a member of the NRA. In fact, the ONLY thing I know about their "talking points" is what I've read stated by DUers accusing other DUers of using them.
I support registration, enhanced background checks that include every member of a gun owner's household, laws requiring proper and safe storage of guns, regulation of semi-automatic rifles, and criminal penalties if a gun is not reported when stolen or lent and subsequently used in a crime.
So believing that the Second Amendment confers no rights upon me whatsoever is an NRA talking point, right? Believing that the Second Amendment (along with most of the rest of the Bill of Rights) is merely a list of things the government CANNOT do to me (such as infringe upon my right to own firearms for whatever reason I choose) is an NRA talking point, right?
Only one of the guns I own is younger than I am, and it's the only one I've ever purchased. Yet here you are, making a general statement that I've spent all my money on guns and ammo, thereby supporting gun manufacturers and gun stores and by association, the NRA. That's a little bit like saying because I own a 1972 Chevy Blazer, I support GM and THEIR pet causes.
I don't understand how it's lost on you that YOUR extremism is what's polarizing the issue so much here at DU. You and the one who idolizes the billionaire who purchased the office of mayor in New York City, and the ones who state in no uncertain terms their belief that good Democrats who own guns have the blood of at least 20 children on their hands. DON'T tell me you haven't seen those claims; you know they've been posted here.
You stifle discussion by calling anyone who doesn't agree with you an NRA supporter, then make statements like the one you made above... that the only reason most gun owners AREN'T dues paying NRA members is because they can't afford it due to spending "all their money on guns and ammo". Stop with the hyperbole and the cheap insults and reasonable discussion on the issue of gun control legislation just MIGHT be possible.

10. And the ONLY reason I'm not a member is because I've already spent "all my money" on guns and ammo
I don't "promote more guns". The six I own are quite sufficient for my needs. Don't let that stop you though!

4. And (no surprise) the Koch Brothers
(June 2012 article)
The Koch Brothers are reportedly planning to bankroll a few very Republican, anti-Obama organizations including the NRA.
According to the Huffington Post:
The NRAs electoral efforts this year seem to offer an example of how the Kochs' strategy can work, according to the three GOP fundraisers. The NRA, they say, has already received a hefty cash infusion from the Koch donor network this year, enabling the 4 million-member pro-gun behemoth to expand voter registration and get-out-the vote drives.

5. This is huge!
If the NRA were operating solely on membership contributions, then they could make a plausible argument that they are simply a grass roots, pro second amendment organization. The fact that they are taking money from gun manufacturers takes this to a whole other level.
