Down Payment Assistance Programs: Assistance Generally Not Included in Homebuyer's Income
Is down payment assistance provided under a program sponsored by a tax-exempt organization includable in the homebuyer's income?
Generally, down payment assistance will not be included in the homebuyer's gross income for federal income tax purposes. However, if the buyer receives down payment assistance from a seller-funded program, the homebuyer must reduce the cost basis of the home because the down payment assistance represents a rebate or reduction in the purchase price thus lowering the homebuyer's cost basis under Internal Revenue Code section 1012.

He is serving a life-without-parole sentence for one of the Lehigh Valley's most notorious killings in recent years.
Gregory R. Graf's crime was so shocking that it took a Northampton County jury only minutes to find the Allen Township man guilty of first-degree murder: He shot his stepdaughter, Jessica Padgett, in the back of the head, then recorded video of himself sexually abusing her corpse.
Yet on Monday, more than 18 months after he was found guilty, Graf was back in court — this time on a tangential and seemingly immaterial question for a man condemned to never see freedom again.

Sarah—Access to Higher Education
Visual aids: poster from former research highlighting "Distance Education as 'Gateway' to Increasing Educational Attainment for Rural Populations," and handout on access to education. Striking link between education level and average length of time of unemployment.
"Knowledge worker" is a term coined by coined by Peter Drucker. Since WWII average job has more to do with information than production. Today, capacity of workers don't line up with the jobs we have.
Geographic access is huge.
This paper focused on financial access—tangled with issues of class, race/ethnicity, gender.
Restriction by preparation: are you ready to go to college? (Emotionally, socially, educationally, etc.)
Other barriers? Is public housing in places with low-quality schools, low access to higher ed?
Self-perpetuating cycle may be present, particularly in rural areas, which often have a culture of looking down on people who may try to better themselves.
How could Tufts help through financial/non-financial means? Tufts has many programs that often fly under the radar of the general public. Two things Tufts could do better: be more strategic—access to higher ed is aligned with Tufts vision statement, but not specifically mentioned. Do a better job of communicating within the university as well as in the community at large. Why haven't many of us on campus heard more about these programs? Difficult to find for those who don't know where to look. More comprehensive/cohesive approach needed.
Future research: approach interviewees. Begin to address the question of tension between having an elitist mission and a mission based on democratization. Can a top university have a mission that embraces both? Tension between helping everyone and training the best of the best.
Thriving and succeeding in a place is a huge issue; how much does Tufts encourage and ensure retention of students?
Pat—access to education: assessing the effectiveness of Northeastern University's Boston Housing Authority scholarship program
Pat presented her preliminary research, which highlighted the history of both Northeastern University and the Boston Housing Authority and began assessing extent of outreach to potential Northeastern students.
Why this partnership? In past experience in career, when helping parents who wanted children to go to college. Northeastern's scholarship program is over 28 years old, but rarely publicized. Some facts: 7% of Boston's workforce is employed in higher ed. Northeastern pays $1 million in taxes on top of PILOT. Very difficult history with surrounding neighborhoods, particularly Whittier St. housing development. This scholarship allows any student from Boston Housing Authority homes to attend Northeastern free of charge, with a few criteria: achievement of a certain GPA, participation in civic engagement, letter verifying BHA residency.
Boston Housing Authority (BHA): also encompasses surrounding cities (e.g. Revere, Charlestown). 58% did not complete high school. 277 residents have taken advantage of this program over 28 years, out of 14,000 units of housing. Why such a miniscule number of students? Wants to look at criteria, requirements.
Community conversations indicate that many residents haven't heard of the scholarship program, including one person whose child was attending NU. Higher education is a polarizing issue in community: in some of these housing areas, education makes the difference between being stuck and having a "way out." Research will entail personal interviews as well as small focus groups. Mission Main, Orchard Gardens, and Alice Hayword Taylor are three housing developments to be examined.
The results will be formatted in a creative way to reach the most people. Talking to METCO and Boston high school guidance counselors. Are there demographic factors? (e.g. does BHA housing have a lot of older people?) Would it make more sense to focus on high school education, etc, given low graduation rate.
Dorothy—Anchor planning for other anchors
Medical Academic and Scientific Community Organization (MASCO) is a group in Boston's Longwood Medical Area, which contains 24 anchors within 213 acres. Cultural, research, medical institutions from high school-graduate level. 18.1 million ft2 of development. $3.66 billion total net patient service revenue, $113 million state income tax. Many service/support jobs provided, coming from surrounding areas (Fenway, Brighton, Jamaica Plain, Dorchester, Roxbury). Not much transit access.
MASCO provides long-term strategic planning as well as immediate services. Immediate services include transportation; MASCO runs shuttles from major train stations in the area, because it is impossible for every employee to bring a car. Bicycle/pedestrian access planning. This service makes a big difference in people deciding to work there/businesses deciding to locate there. Doesn't make sense for businesses to dedicate valuable space to parking. Not an uncommon problem in Boston, but the area is unique because bordered by heavily trafficked corridors and has limited public transit.
Many successes: participated in growth far higher than target, runs 10 privately owned shuttles, and between 2000 and 2008 reduced drive-alone commuting by 20%, increased transit ridership by 9%, and increased bicycling/walking by 6%.
Next steps: interviews with MASCO Commuteworks, planning division, and member organization.
re. short and long term goals, project expansions.
Taka—anchor institutions that act as managers/coordinators.
Yokohama, Japan is 20 miles from Tokyo. 2nd largest city in Japan, but overshadowed by Tokyo. Goal: to become an important city in its own right. Large port city, center for car manufacturing. Port needed to expand, so lots of land reclamation outside of city center led to motivation to redevelop city center as business district.
Minato-mirai 21 Corporation was established in early 1980s to attract headquarters of private companies, small businesses and new entrepreneurs—primary roles to manage types and locations of business, execute area management, institutionalize local rules or agreements with city and landowners. First funded by city, now also annual fees from supporters, user fees for services, rents from tenants. Managers are from some private companies and from city—different from US business improvement districts, which are run by completely separate managers.
Major themes: consistency and flexibility. There has been a fairly consistent ratio between uses of space. In 2009, MM21 switched from role as coordinator to voluntary business participation, changed from 3rd sector to generic corporation. Adapted to meet needs of district. Will it be a challenge to balance consistency and flexibility in the future?
Challenges and next steps: -As more businesses move to the district, should MM21 attempt to expand membership, or should they work without their support? -Get residents involved—many housing developments have been built in the area. -Examine decision-making process in the organization, how MM21takes coordinating role, how compromises are achieved when opinions differ.
Lawrence—community revitalization in a rural Florida town
After experience working in Gretna, Florida for many years, plans to move there after graduation to work for a local nonprofit organization. This paper examines the context of the town itself and explores potential anchor institution partners.
Gretna, FL: 400 households, very poor, majority Black. Not much recorded history. Median income about $10k less than national average. <30% of the population college educated, 60% have a high school diploma. 80% of population born in Gretna—not much movement in or out. Unemployment rate around national average. About 50% of women in community employed in health care—unclear why.
Potential anchors: Florida State University, Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, Gadsden County Public Libraries, and a new gambling facility in town. FSU has a planning department and a "Florida Planning and Development Lab" that partners with groups outside to benefit communities. Tallahassee Memorial Hospital has Center for Health Care Careers—works with local high schools and FSU. Gadsden County Public Library has one main branch in Quincy and two satellite branches but don't do much outreach beyond young children. New gambling facility in Gretna has been controversial. Ownership of casino has claimed they want to partner with community members. Also providing a huge tax boost to community.
Next steps: Research other communities' relationships with casinos. Are there examples of successful community-casino relationships? Talk with Gretna's leadership about vision of the community's future. Learn more about Gretna's history; part of the town's revitalization might be to create its first written history. This can be a major opportunity for a coordinating anchor.
Brytanee–Grocery stores as anchor institutions in traditionally African-American neighborhoods.
Brytanee plans to examine a set of these within a specific geographic context. This is a difficult approach because data is limited. Inspired by her own experiences with a local grocer in Oakland, Mildred D. Taylor books.
Lenses to look through: anti-racist historical narrative, fighting against oppression. Fictional accounts (e.g. Mildred D. Taylor). Entrepreneurs. Negotiation of non-Black minority grocers in traditionally Black neighborhoods. (Al Sharpton protesting Korean grocers in NY in 1980s). Brief journalistic accounts in blogs and newspapers. Nutritional perspective.
The nutritional perspective, with anti-obesity initiatives, has perhaps been the most highly-publicized. Interplay between media accounts and nutritional perspective is what interests Brytanee.
Colored Merchants' Association est. 1929 in Winston-Salem in response to chain stores. At that time grocers made up majority of Black business owners.
Their Eyes Were Watching God— novel by Zora Neale Hurston, another example of African-American grocers in literature. In the first incorporated Black town, in Florida, the mayor owns a neighborhood grocery store.
Why were there so many Black grocery stores? Many Blacks were familiar with agriculture, and opening a store presented a strong alternative to being a wage worker. Compared to Korean or Chinese grocery stores, African-American stores are much more likely to fail. One theory—African-American stores are more likely to grant credit to customers who may or may not pay back.
Interviews will begin with community members and owners of a grocery store called Chatham in Chicago's South Side.

Laura Bush: Take Me Out of Pro-Gay Marriage Ad
(NEWSER) – Laura Bush has publicly backed gay marriage in the past, but that apparently doesn't mean she wants her views used to actually promote gay marriage. The Respect for Marriage Coalition released an ad yesterday that includes clips of Bush and fellow Republicans Colin Powell and Dick Cheney discussing their support for gay marriage in interviews. "When she became aware of the advertisement last night, we requested that the group remove her from it," Bush's rep says, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Public cloud evangelists trumpet the flexibility, scalability and cost-efficiency benefits of platform as a service (a.k.a. PaaS). Some take it a step further, decrying and "FUDing" the private cloud alternative. But critics of private cloud — often evangelizing for the sake of their own self-interest — choose to ignore the advantages of a private cloud approach.
The truth: Private cloud represents a better solution for the real-world enterprise. The real-world enterprise demands security, flexibility and control, and the private cloud delivers. There are many reasons to "go private." Bart Copeland, CEO of ActiveState has identified the top 10.

Don't think there's enough for jelly, maybe next year, I took some cuttings and most have rooted. Freezing sounds a good plan and strawberry jam sounds yummie with scones and cream.
I've tried to plug the gap, two pigeons were in the garden today until they so me, the cat is currantly on guard duty and the blueberries are on the naughty step
This is my first successful crop of currants when the birds haven't got them and I'm every so pleased with them but me thinks I'm on borrowed time. I've pruned the top branches off to allow sun in, netted them but there's a gap of 1ft at the bottom of the netting frame. Second line of defence against birds are several children's brightly coloured windmills spinning in the wind. Hope they aren't all eaten by the morning, I've only had one bunch.
The red currants are begining to all change colour, making it obvious to see when reds will be ready, will the white one's be ready at the same time?
Do you pick them all at once or can some be left on the plant for a later picking? They were left to late last year and the birds got to them
How long do they keep and what is the best way to keep them?
There's only so many currants one can eat in a week
To add to the list, Bellis does well with me and flowers early, bee's love them. Also if you grow herbs, parsley. I'm trying Holly Hock and wallflower this year.
Cornflowers do well if the winter is mild, like the one we've just had. I keep these in the GH in pots to over winter.
Hi, Shazza,
Aura Garden Guides have one called 'Propagation' by Siegfried Stein. It gives practical advise on propagating and sowing your own seeds. Lots of pictures and it covers cuttings, sowing methods, layering, division and grafting. Reasonable price too, possibly 3 or 4 £'s.
Beans are late in growing here in this part of the NW and nowhere near flowering, Pea's are just starting to flower but the plants are small, me thinks you are doing well to have flowers from beans.
I'm trying to grow yard long noodles in the GH for the first time, it's a variety of bean, could have chosen a better year to start growing them though, they are still tiny seedlings and are being rapidly over shadowed by other plants.
I'm with KEF on this
You can also self pollinate courgette's to encourage the female flower to reproduce. I've been seeing if the bee's will do it this year but sometimes mother nature needs a helping hand. If you take a male flower and dip it into the female flower the pollen is transferred and once pollinated the female will then grow. The courgettes which start to go rotten on the end usually haven't been polinated.
Hi, Rain. Interesting experiment. It's understandable with the watering regime, if they dry out it's likely to set them back.
I have four new varieties this year, Pegasus - June fruiting, Rhapsody-mid to late, Honeyoye - early and Cambridge Favourite - June. A couple each in two big planters with flowers. They've been watered well and fed weekly after they started to flower.
Pegasus and Rhapsody started fruiting in June, this pot gets most sun and I've had some really big tasty strawberries. Honeyoye hasn't done as well, small strawberries with some going bad and Cambridge Favourite hasn't produced any fruit.They've all produced runners though.
It would be interesting to see if you got different results with different varieties, some may grow better than others in pots.
I'm no expert on growing flowers but like cut flowers.
Love growing stuff in the garden but work full time, so it's always nice to come downstairs in the morning, rain or shine to see flowers indoors before I go off to work.
Hope you enjoy your indoor flower display....
No probs. Just hope they don't sell out before I can talk to big brother to share the P&P
Sounds good until you check out Simply seed who are selling 10 tubers for £2.45. Not a huge selection only Nicola and Maris Peer and I didn't check out P & P but I'd recommend them.
T & M are £9.99 for 20 tubers and only two varieties advertised as Christmas spuds.

How to Make Homemade Mosquito Repellent
I love the Summertime and with this amazing weather we have had the last few days I've been spending a lot more time outside especially during these gorgeous Summer nights! However the one issue I've been having is with those pesky mosquitoes! I'm really bad about forgetting to buy bug repellent, so I decided to look up how to make your own. With only 2 very easy to get a hold of ingredients, you can make your very own mosquito repellent! The only two ingredients you need are:
- Fresh parsley
- Apple cider vinegar
Other than that a mortar and pestle would be helpful but I'm sure if you don't have one of those you can rig something else up. Also a little spray bottle so you can spray the repellent on! Other than those couple items you're ready to go!
Check out the video on how to make it!

2007.118: Unique Mutational Patterns in the Envelope α2 Amphipathic Helix and Acquisition of Length in gp120 Hypervariable Domains Are Associated with Resistance to Autologous Neutralization of Subtype C Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1

Autologous neutralizing antibodies (NAb) against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 generate viral escape variants; however, the mechanisms of escape are not clearly defined. In a previous study, we determined the susceptibilities of 48 donor and 25 recipient envelope (Env) glycoproteins from five subtype C heterosexual transmission pairs to NAb in donor plasma by using a virus pseudotyping assay, thereby providing an ideal setting to probe the determinants of susceptibility to neutralization. In the present study, acquisition of length in the Env gp120 hypervariable domains was shown to correlate with resistance to NAb in donor plasma (P = 0.01; Kendall's tau test) but not in heterologous plasma. Sequence divergence in the gp120 V1-to-V4 region also correlated with resistance to donor (P = 0.0002) and heterologous (P = 0.001) NAb. A mutual information analysis suggested possible associations of nine amino acid positions in V1 to V4 with NAb resistance to the donor's antibodies, and five of these were located within an 18-residue amphipathic helix (α2) located on the gp120 outer domain. High nonsynonymous-to-synonymous substitution (dN/dS) ratios, indicative of positive selection, were also found at these five positions in subtype C sequences in the database. Nevertheless, exchange of the entire α2 helix between resistant donor Envs and sensitive recipient Envs did not alter the NAb phenotype. The combined mutual information and dN/dS analyses suggest that unique mutational patterns in α2 and insertions in the V1-to-V4 region are associated with NAb resistance during subtype C infection but that the selected positions within the α2 helix must be linked to still other changes in Env to confer antibody escape. These findings suggest that subtype C viruses utilize mutations in the α2 helix for efficient viral replication and immune avoidance.

Dana Eveland made his season debut and burned his former team by tossing eight solid innings as the Los Angeles Dodgers recorded a 6-4 road victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday.
Rookie Dee Gordon belted a two-run double in the eighth inning and Aaron Miles had a two-run single in the first for Los Angeles, which has won four in a row and nine of its last 10.
Making his first start since July 7, 2010, Eveland (1-0) allowed one run on six hits to pick up the win. The journeyman pitcher was promoted from Triple-A Albuquerque prior to the game.
After Blake Hawksworth struggled, Kenley Jansen closed the door by securing his third save of the season.
Brad Lincoln (1-1) permitted three runs on six hits in six innings for Pittsburgh, which dropped its fifth straight and seventh in eight outings.

When you buy a newly constructed home, condominium or town home, the entire purchase price including land is taxable the full HST is charged on the purchase price.
With respect to resale homes- the rules are completely different.
The Ontario Government recently enacted legislation which will implement the much-dreaded HST Tax. This new tax has taken effect on July 1, 2010.
The HST tax will effectively combine the Provincial Sales Tax of 8% percent with the Federal GST Tax of 5% percent, to create a new "harmonized" total tax of 13% percent. This new tax will be applicable to many real estate services which hitherto only had one or the other tax applied.
The HST will result in a 13% tax on new home construction, but my post today will concern those ancillary costs pertaining to the buying and selling of resale residential real estate properties in Ontario...
First, the good news....there is no HST tax payable on the sale of a resale home (residential). So the single largest dollar amount exchanged is not taxable under HST.
However, under the harmonized sales tax (HST), home buyers and sellers will have to pay extra tax on a range of services associated with the real estate transaction: services such as legal fees, moving costs, real estate commissions and home inspection fees. Currently, consumers only pay the 5% Goods and Services Tax (GST) on these services.
In a nutshell, after July 1, 2010, if you are a seller, there will be a 13% percent tax payable on the real estate commission you pay - currently there is only the 5% percent GST payable on this fee. Your lawyer's fee will also be subject to the 13% percent HST, as will the cost of a Condominium Status Certificate.
If you are a buyer, any Home Inspection you pay for will be subject to the 13% percent HST. And so will the cost of movers hired. In addition, the cost of the CMHC premium for "high-ratio" mortgages has traditionally been taxable for PST - this amount will now be taxable for the full 13% percent HST.
So one can see that, with the introduction of the HST, whether you are buying or selling a Resale Home in Ontario, costs will be going up.
A press release from the Ontario Real Estate Association earlier this year summarized some of these changes which will take place - the example that they used was for a resale house priced at $360,000, and it was determined that the HST would add over two thousand dollars in new taxes to closing costs. Please note, these taxes are in addition to the Land Transfer Taxes. OREA calculated that, in total, the HST would add $313 million annually in new taxes to resale home transactions.
The HST Ontario Tax will add to the cost of buying and selling a resale home. Many market watchers are predicting a flurry of activity leading up to the July 1, 2010 implementation date, as buyers and sellers both try to avoid paying the tax.

Viking Emerald on Yangtze: Viking Emerald Cruise Review by JLAII
Overall Member Rating
Viking Emerald on Yangtze
Destination: Asia
Embarkation: Shanghai
- Vikings organization from airport(s) to hotel(s) to boat. Worriless.
- The Tour Escort system, which always give you a bilingual person to rely on and learn from. (Ours was Gao, and he was a mensch.)
- The extremely high quality of all hotels.
- The Shanghai Museum. Limited but a great way to fill the 75-minute slot available. Ceramics/porcelain the highlight for me, followed by painting; wife favored the bronzes. As much archaeology as art, but learning about Chinese history through artifacts became a valued More layer of our trip.
- The boat in general (the Viking Emerald). Service excellent, food good, and lecturer (Daniel Peng) informative and witty. Laundry was fast and fairly priced.
- The staterooms. Ours was high-end (Deck 5) since we booked late (April) and it was the one that happened to open up, but I believe even the least expensive are good and all have picture windows and balconies (dont expect to use the latter much in the heat and humidity) as well as good bathrooms and showers. Storage a bit short for hanging sweaty clothes.
- Fellow passengers. Generally open, good-spirited sorts. We travelled by ourselves but never lacked for good meal companions, although we did find ourselves averting our glances from people whose life stories we already knew and scanning for tables with people who looked interesting.
- Casual dress. Shorts the norm. In the heat and humidity, its a relief never to have to dress up.
- The Hubei Provinical Museum in Wuhan. We arrived in late afternoon, in a hurry to get to the boat, and only had time for a quick concert on replicas of musical instruments recently unearthed from the tomb of Yi (the king of the Zeng Sate in the Warring States Period (476 BC - 221 BC), then a quick tour of rooms with original chimes and other artifacts, but exhibit was impressive and musicians were skillful.
- The scenery after the Three Gorges Dam. Youre in the mountains now.
- Smaller boat ride through the lesser Three Gorges. This stretch (and especially the later trip on the Li River in Guilin) reminded me of one of my favorite travel experiences ever, sailing through a fjord in Norway.
- Shibaozhai Pagoda on the Yangtze. Very scenic. I cramped a calf on walk to it and didnt climb Pagoda, but wife tells me it was great, and it looked great from outside.
- Chongquin Zoo. We saw seven pandas, which our cheerful local guide Romy told us was exceptional.
- Terra Cotta Army Museum in Xian. Words cannot describe. Truly one of the wonders of the world, along with, on succeeding days
- Great Wall in the Badaling Hills outside Beijing, and
- The Forbidden City. These last three sights epitomized the best feature of our trip: being transported into a different world and culture and history. The adjoining Tienamin Square didnt do much for us. Mainly a big, empty space with a strong sense of Mao.
- Foot massage in Guilin (were now on the extension and our escort is Jimmy, who was also very good). Another extremely likable, cheerful local guide, Lisa, arranged this. All but a few of us signed up and none regretted it.
- Li River Cruise from Quilin to Yangshuo Village. The dimpled, sandstone mountains were spectacular.
- Spectacular cityscape from Victoria Peak over Hong Kong and downtown Kowloon.
- The 8:00 to 8:18 PM light show from the highrises on the bay was also delightful, and we were lucky enough to catch it on a clear day from a terrific 29th floor restaurant, Aqua (not on tour itinerary).
Before I turn to cons, I should note that weather makes a huge difference, and we lucked into good weather in Hong Kong, on the Li River, in the Lesser Three Gorges, and on several other days. Heat, humidity, and smog are givens for most of the trip, at least in summer, but we were able to see nearly everything clearly (or through a scenic mist) and never felt a need to don our masks.
- lunch and dinner at local Chinese restaurants in Shanghai. Truly mediocre (and I love Chinese food back home in Los Angeles). I feared that this would become the norm, but the rest of the local restaurant stops were better.
- Acrobatic show after dinner in Shanghai. I kept nodding off, and I dont think it was all the fault of the jet lag. The acrobatic routines were, well, routine, and the music was mind-numbing. A far cry from Cirque de Soleil.
- Endless bleak landscapes of pre-fab looking highrises, most of which didnt seem occupied (whos doing the planning here?). Downtown Shanghai and Beijing are spectacular, but we came away from busrides through other areas grateful we didnt live there.
- The Three Gorges Dam. We used to apply a standard with our sons (now grown and not on this trip), If we wouldnt do it at home, why do it here? and weve never gone to the Hoover Dam. Then, for the Three Gorges, you add in the heat, humidity, and fog/smog that makes it unlikely youll see much. Guide joke, They say there are two kinds of days here, foggy and very foggy.
- The Viking School in Yueyang. The children are adorable and the cause is probably worthy, but its painful to think of the kids being required to perform for the Westerners (ours had come in on a Sunday, just for us). Also, this morning excursion is the only event of the day. I cynically pictured Viking Executives sitting around brainstorming, What can we throw in for people in the long, dull stage of the cruise before the mountains? I know, lets help fund a school!
- The scenery before you get to the Three Gorges. All bleak and flat. Look, theres a sandpile!
- The walk to the Shibaozhai Pagoda. Although the Pagoda is at water level a short distance from the boat, they routed us to it through a steep, two-block climb through a gauntlet of hawkers then a similar descent. This was when I tweaked my calf.
- The stop at the jewelry store on the Hong Kong tour was endless. Id felt mildly peeved at the shopping opportunities at a silk rug and embroidery outlet in Shanghai, but I was fuming by the time they let the captive audience out of the jewelry store. True, Im not a shopper, but they could have told us, Youve got half an hour, and shoppers and non could have been satisfied. As it was they kept us for over an hour until the last person stopped showing any interest in the over-priced baubles.
A few general impressions. We had a great time. We wanted to escape our routines, and China and Viking certainly provided that, and in as much comfort as it would be reasonable to expect. The five internal flights in China got to be complicated and tiresome, but Viking handled them smoothly, and I accept that they were necessary for us to get as rounded a tour as did. Well definitely be looking through our Viking catalogue for future river cruises, but well also be checking other companies. Cruisecritic provided a helpful resource for this trip (amazing how you can sort out a consensus through the few people who loved everything and the few people who hated everything), and we expect to use it more broadly.

Brisk Walk Can Help Leave Common Cold Behind
Latest Cold and Flu News
SUNDAY, Oct. 25 (HealthDay News) -- To keep colds at bay during the chilliest months of the year, exercise just might be the key.
David Nieman, a representative of the American College of Sports Medicine, says that studies have shown that people who exercise at least 45 minutes four or more days a week take 25 to 50% less time off from work because of illness.
"This reduction in illness far exceeds anything a drug or pill can offer," Nieman said in a news release from the sports medicine group. "All it takes is a pair of walking shoes to help prevent becoming one of the thousands predicted to suffer from the common cold this winter."
But what if you're already under the weather? Should you try to get some exercise? Nieman suggests:
Nieman has one more bit of advice: Exercise before you get your flu shot because research has shown that moderate-level physical activity will boost your immunity in the long run.

Wil Anderson
Until April 24 (Tue-Thu 9.45pm; Fri, Sat 10pm; Sun 5pm)
Reviewer: Craig Platt
WIL Anderson has mellowed as he approaches 40. He still shouts and swears (for which he apologises to anyone who has only seen him on The Gruen Transfer) but gone are the angry rants against religion, politics and celebrities (mostly). Instead, if Man vs Wil has a theme, it's about not judging people. What's most interesting is the craftsmanship on display here; the segues are seamless, so a discussion on the erotic advertising campaigns of PETA can move on to pornography and dog behaviour and end up with Anderson revealing that he's OK with cannibalism. Man vs Wil is a great example of how a show can be a single complete work and not a bunch of disconnected bits awkwardly stuck together. Even the comedian's callbacks to earlier jokes are perfectly timed and placed. Afterwards, a friend compared the show's structure to a piece of music. If that's true, then Anderson has developed into a maestro.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by theranchsucks, Mar 26, 2013.
What will the Romo contract look like?
i think thats pretty close although i think the guaranteed money will be in the 40's. i could also see a 6 year deal with a big salry that year to help the cap out. not real but most contracts have lots of fluff in them
I can see 5 year 80 million with 35 guaranteed
LOL @ that...clever^^ I'm guessing 100m 5 year deal.
And the cheese eaters are falling in line!
I understand the worries about cap trouble and all that junk. However, I do not understand trying to go cheap at quarterback! If there is any position that any team should invest heavily in it is QB. If you don't invest in QB, well, smell ya later.
I say 5/65m with 30m guaranteed. Could go with guaranteeing 2015 salary of 8m. That would leave 8m in dead money after 3 years, with the option to keep, cut or restructure.
20m signing bonus. 2013 and 2014 salary guaranteed
2013 4m+ 4m sb+ 4m old money= 12m cap hit
2014 6m+ 4m+ 3m old= 13m
2015 8m+ 4m+ 1.5m old= 13.5m
2016 12m(convert 9m into a sb) +4m+ 3m= 10m
2017 15m+ 4m+ 3m= 24m
2018 (added in 2016 restructure) 15m+ 3m= 18m
With the scrambling to get other players restructured it's looks like Romo and Jerry are a wee bit apart. Hope they stay that way.
I agree. I think we will be looking at 85 mill on a 5 year deal with a SB of 32 to 35 mill.
Double amen to that.
It's going to have the seal of the New York Jets at the top, the way things are starting to look.
$8.5M total in old money? I thought it was around $5.3M and I'm not sure they could split it.
Also, your point about $8M after the 3rd year is precisely why I think this would be a bad deal for Romo. He'd make $24M in the first year and then have another $14M coming in the next two years for a total of $38M.
If his play dropped Dallas could cut him and he'd have $36M in money that he'd never see and the team would get $2M in relief to cut him after 3 seasons.
I'm not sure why he would take this deal. He's would make half of his potential $24M by doing nothing and sitting on his $11.5M base salary.
You're right about 2013, it would be 5.3m in old money, not 4m.
I said I would guarantee 2015's salary of 8m. That would give him 38m over the first 3 years. It's not Flacco/Brees money, but he doesn't have a ring. He has 0m in guaranteed money right now and if plays 2013 on this deal and gets hurt that would be a huge mistake. 38m>>>>11.5m.
It's a team friendly deal that ensures Romo at least one and maybe 2 more paydays. Or he takes a bit more money and go play for CLE, BUFF or JAX.
He has this year guaranteed. You think Dallas is going to cut him? Sure, it's not written in stone but he has this year guaranteed and if Dallas released him he'd get a new contract no matter what.
The odds of suffering some sort of injury that would absolutely ruin his career are small. He plays this year on a $12M base and signs next year, he's better off even if he gets the same amount but only a year later.
$38M over 3 years is only $13M/year. He's already going to get nearly that amount this year.
He could play for those teams. Just like he could play for Dallas.
In case you haven't noticed, this team isn't all that great. Those teams are poor in opinion but you'd be a fool to think that Dallas would be any better without the guy.
So what's the difference? Dallas has some history to it? You're overestimating the value of 20 years ago if you think that makes playing for one struggling team is more beneficial than playing for another. At the end of the day, popularity doesn't show up on bank statements. Playing for one mediocre team is no different than playing for another......unless you can get paid more.
I think his guaranteed money will have to be more, be it through a larger SB or through base salaries.
He'd be shorting himself to take one of the team when he's only guaranteed 3 years at an average just about equal to what he is about to make right now.
He's coming off a 6/67m deal and is 5 years older with only one playoff win. The cap has shrunk since then and he knows the team is out of space. Yes, Tony could play for someone else just like Dallas can play someone else at QB. Next year's draft is loaded. He has been here his whole career and has a new family. Texas is also tax free and being the QB for the Cowboys is worth a lot more than most places for endorsements.
Paying him any more wouldn't be worth it for Dallas. They can let him play out his deal, tag him and get a first round pick when someone scoops him up. If they happen to win the Super Bowl this year like Baltimore, then who cares- pay him, don't pay, we got another ring. But if struggles, he just re-enforces all of the negative reviews and is now a year older.
The way they seem to collect qbs they probably would give us a 2nd this year an a first next. I'd be hard pressed to ignore that lol
That prediction was almost spot on.
Were you doing the negotiating?
You sir without question had insider information! lol

No party has ever deserved a whipping more than the British Labour Party. Okay, that's wrong. Think of the Republicans after Bush, the Canadian Tories after Mulroney, the British Conservatives after Thatcher.
Let's try this. No party with claims to represent the underdog, to stand for social justice and greater equality, to see politics as the best instrument for social change, has ever deserved to get the boot more than the British Labour Party just has. Its defeat - and surely it was defeated - was not merely because of the public ineptitude and sheer weirdness of its leader, Gordon Brown. Under Tony Blair's long tenure, and continuing under Brown, a moral rot overcame the Labour Party and ate away at its very soul.
It's true that both Mr. Blair and Mr. Brown seemed genuinely concerned with Africa, yet given their overall performance that now feels more like an aberration than a redeeming feature. Mr. Blair and his key henchmen loved the rich, loved the impulse to greed, and New Labour enthusiastically embraced the ethical nihilism of Wall Street's fictional Gordon Gekko.
It seems like ancient history now, but British influence was a crucial factor in every aspect of Canadian life for the first century of our existence. This included the evolution of the political left. My generation grew up on a diet of Labour Party policies, strategies and personalities. The American left was too marginalized and eccentric to have much to offer us, its major presence being as a bogeyman inflated by the usual right-wing demagogues.
The old CCF, and for a while its NDP successor, were inspired by the British version of democratic socialism. David Lewis, for years the party's most influential intellectual, had lived in England, knew all the Labour leaders, indeed had a chance to run as a Labour MP and surely become a cabinet minister there. It was David who fashioned the Canadian party in Labour's image, and many of us continued for years to monitor British politics closely. The model of the NDP, built on the crumbling body of the old CCF, was in fact the British Labour Party, and the guest speaker at the NDP founding convention in 1961 was Hugh Gaitskell, leader of the Labour Party.
For many of us, Labour's leaders - from old Keir Hardy to Nye Bevan - were heroic figures. Mr. Bevan was the hero we most worshipped, a Welshman of impeccable proletarian background who grew up to be an eloquent, principled, cultured figure, a role model for us all. We could all see ourselves as natural members of the Fabian Society, Labor's independent intellectual wing, mostly university-based, churning out exciting, workable, egalitarian policies for a new postwar Britain.
Of course there were disappointments along the way. Mr. Bevan ended up opposing unilateral nuclear disarmament. Harold Wilson sold out the Africans of old Rhodesia and refused to condemn the Viet Nam war, while the party tore itself to shreds over nationalization issues and the role of trade unions. After all, this still was a socialist party, where Solidarity Forever was often as not more a prayer than a reality. But still, Labour formed governments regularly - more than we Canadian lefties could boast, unless you lived in tiny, lucky Saskatchewan - and they spoke our language. Always suspicious of the opportunism of American Democrats, for many Labour was our second political home.
Then came the Blair revolution with his New Labour government. Mr. Blair and his closest aides, some loathsome beyond words, didn't much like poverty, it's true. But they had no trouble with inequality and positively embraced the filthy rich. You reap what you sow. Here's how a Guardian article recently summed up New Labour's overall record:
The government "accepted the whole Thatcherite economic settlement, has seen an increase in social and economic inequality, worshipped wealth and fawned on high finance at home and abroad, passed a vast array of repressive laws, … allowed Rupert Murdoch to dictate its foreign policy, and took Britain - with flagrant dishonesty - into a needless, illegal and murderous war in order to support the most reactionary American president of modern times."
After 13 years of Labour government, London is the most unequal city in the rich world and the 1,000 richest Britons are three times better off than when Labour came to power. Up the workers, comrades.
Besides arguably being a war criminal for his role in the invasion of Iraq, which he continues to justify, Tony Blair couldn't do enough for his many posh friends. Take the corrupt deal between British arms giant BAE and the impoverished east African country of Tanzania, enabled personally by Mr. Blair. Despite opposition from his cabinet, Mr. Blair insisted that extravagantly expensive military radar be sold to a country that needed none. Who won? BAE got a fat contract. Several Tanzanian officials got fat bribes. And Tony Blair pleasured yet another of the fancy corporate supporters he so cherished. Tanzania, as collateral damage, was further impoverished. Mr. Blair's dedication to African development had major limits.
The moral rot demonstrated at the very top by Mr. Blair swiftly infected his troops. A perverse sense of entitlement overwhelmed the entire political class. The billionaire chair of David Cameron's "new" Tory party, and one of its most generous contributors, pays little taxes at home since his official domicile, conveniently, is not in Britain. But who expects more from the Tories? Far more dishonourable are all the Labour MPs who got caught enriching themselves by shamelessly exploiting House rules that allowed them to rip off the public purse for their personal expenses. The real Labour Party must be hanging its head in shame.
Just when we thought it couldn't get any worse, it did. A few weeks ago, three former senior Blair ministers were exposed selling themselves as lobbyists to U.S. corporations for outrageous amounts of money. The new Lobbygate scandal lived down to the lowest possible expectations anyone might have held for members of a workers' party.
If I had been living in Britain, as I once did, for the first time in my life I would have voted Liberal Democrat, not for the putative left-wing candidate. I wouldn't have been alone. It appears millions of genuine British progressives could not hold their noses Thursday and vote Labour if it meant sanctioning the government's performance over the past 13 years. We can only hope the party will learn the right lessons from its well-deserved repudiation.Report Typo/Error

I went off on him and told him I want a divorce! We have ds (dear son) 2, ds (dear son) 10 months and I'm 3.5 months pregnant!
He moved all of his stuff out of our house today while I was out with our kids. I came home to empty house!
I'm so sad that he ruined our family and betrayed me! This is a very tough emotional time for me!
Anyone out there with any words of encouragement?

Start At: Jenny Wolf's Diary Chapter before this: Chapter 11: Cyber Dilemmas
Chapter 12: Surprises
I got dressed in my normal outfit, and set off to the Auto Shop. I had to say 'Good-bye' to Neil.
"Hey Jenny!" he greeted cheerfully. I wasn't surprised to see him awake. "Hi Neil." I said, looking down. He reminded me of a father, in some ways. "Wassup?" he asked. "Bye." I said shortly. "Um, you just got here?" he asked. "I know. Seems like it." I said. "No, you literally just got here?" Neil said, confused. "No, I don't mean bye as in bye right now, as in 'Bye, I'm moving to North Carolina soon.'" I said, shaking my head. "Oh..." he said shortly.
After saying bye to Neil, I checked my watch. It read 5:00PM. How fast the time came, 5 hours talking to Neil. I walked to the Boys Dorm, where Peanut, Ricky, Kate, and Johnny were sitting on the front steps. "Jenny." Peanut said. Kate looked almost as sad as she did before the prom. Ricky and Johnny looked like crying. Peanut didn't, he was the 'tough guy.' I smiled mentally at how much his pride got the best of him. "What do we do?" I asked, sitting next to them. "We only got an hour." I added. "We hide you in New Coventry 'til your parents go to North Carolina alone." Johnny said. "I already told you, hiding won't work. They're coming and either way their going to find me, wether I like it or not." I said. "S' worth a shot..." Ricky muttered.
I spent time talking to them, doing my best to act as if this was any other day. I talked about bikes, hockey, basketball, the usual. They didn't seem convinced. They answered mopey or sadly. "Well, thank god Hal didn't come." I remarked. Hal was a softie, not as big as Ricky, but he'd probably be bawling right now. "Don't kid taday. Taday sucks an' you know it." Peanut said. "Whatever." I said, rolling my eyes. I heard two beeps of a taxi. A hole went through my stomach, taking away the bravery I'd work so hard to get.
Slowly, I stopped feeling parts of my body. First my feet, then my legs, and then everything else. All except the hole in my stomach. "I guess we'd better..." I trailed off, staring into the sky. "Yeah." Peanut agreed, getting up. I walked to the entrance of the main doors, and sat a little far away from them. Tom and Liz came, too, to say goodbye. "But are you sure there's nothing we can do?" Kate asked me. I nodded. I couldn't talk--I was nervous and sad. I also felt bad for Liz, leaving her like this, with no Russell or me.
The taxi doors opened, and out came my mother.
"Mijita! Que esta... grande! Cresió tanto! (My daughter! You're so...big! You grew so much!)" she squealed in spanish. She'd gotten tanner, and louder. She ran over to me and hugged me. "Hola mami. Lista para llevarme al infierno? (Hi Mom. Ready to take me to Hell?)" I asked stubbornly. I tried to ignore the confused faces of my friends. "Oh, come on Jenny. Don't think of it like that. Besides, didn't your mother tell you?" My dad asked. Strange, he wasn't wearing his normal tuxedo, instead a blue shirt with palm trees and khakis. "Tell me what?" I asked, confused. "Mami! (Mom!)" I yelled accusingly. "Ya can't take 'er!" Johnny said angrily. "Who are you?" my dad asked. I turned bright red. "That doesn't matter." I said. "Well?" I asked my mom, trying to change the subject. "Ok, so you're not going to North Carolina. The bank covered the school, for a favor to your father, and so, you can stay at Bullworth, and, as a treat to your father and I for being so smart, we're going to Hawaii!" my mom yelled happily. I felt my mouth drop in excitement.
From behind me I heard Kate scream. I turned around and saw her just as she ran up and hugged me. "You get to stay! You Get to Stay! YOU GET TO STAY!" When she let go of me, Johnny grabbed a hold of me, holding onto me like he was never going to let me go. "Hidin' woulda worked, too." he said. Kate had turned to my parents. "Sorry about that, I'm Kate Harrington." "You're a Harrington?" My dad asked, and Kate nodded enthusiastically. I struggled to get Johnny off of me. "Johnny...Johnny, Johnny--No, Johnny, Johnny let-- LET GO!" I said, finally shaking him off of me. "How do you know about Harringtons?" I asked my dad. He launched himself about a long tale about his time at tha bank, something about Harrington Oil, etc. Before he left, he gave me an empty notebook, but wouldn't tell me why.
I decided I didn't need to tell everyone I'd be staying, they'd figure that out on their own. But after my parents left for Hawaii, I acted like a 5 year old who just met Spongebob, got a huge lollipop, never needed to go to a doctor's office or school again, and on top of that being Queen of the world. I went around skipping, singing my words out. Johnny was practically the same, only a boy version.
"I thought..." Norton started. "But how...?" Lefty asked. "My parents got everything done and I'm staying!" I sang, skipping around all the greasers. An idea popped into my head. "Johnny, stay here!" I said excitedly. "No." he said, smiling as if I'd told him a joke. "Pleases?" I asked sweetly. "No." he insisted. "I'll cry." I lied. His eyes narrowed, and he nodded once.
I skipped my way to the Gym area, and when I found the person I was looking for, I skipped around him in circles. "Whattaya want, hot mess? Wanted to kiss me goodbye?" Damon asked angrily. He was one of the jocks who'd bullied me, besides the red head whose name I forgot. "No. What, you want me ta beat ya?" I let the words skip out of me. "I'm staying, and, there's gonna be some changes. First off, you'll call me Ms. Jenny." I stated. "Why?" the red head asked. "Because then, I'll tell Johnny to hurt you! Silly jock!" I said, patting his head as I rolled my eyes. I skipped to the Auto Shop, and spent the rest of the day with the greasers, celebrating my parents, the bank, and Hawaii.
"What's the date?" I asked Peanut suddenly. "June 27." he answered. "Aw, crap!" I yelled out. It had been about a week past my birthday and I'd completely forgotten. "What?" Johnny asked. I sat down on the hood of an old red car and messed around with my thumbs a bit. "Mmmk, so, ya know how people go on and on when somebody forgets their birthday?" I asked. I felt myself go red. "Yeah..." Peanut said slowly. "Well, I forgot my own birthday..." I said, trying to act casual. All of the greasers were suddenly laughing, Kate with them. "Y-You forgat 'cha birthday?" Lefty asked. "Yeah..." I said, starting to laugh myself. "Jenny, howdaya forget ya birthday?" Johnny asked. "I dunno! Maybe the North Carolina issue?" I asked, giggling. "So, what do we get ya?" Johnny asked. My face fell. "No no no no no no no no no! I don't want nuffin. Staying here's enough." I said.
"Ok..." Johnny said, standing up. Ricky and Norton exchanged a look. "You better not do anything..." I said trying to sound more serious then I'd ever been before.
The next day, as soon as I exited the Girl's Dorm with Kate, a hand came over my eyes. "If you don't let go of me in 3 se--" I started. "No, 's me, Ricky." Ricky said and I heard Kate giggle. "Im here too!" Peanut added. "Why?" I asked, trying to get Ricky's hand off me. "Quit that" Peanut said. They started making me walk, so I tripped myself. I was sitting on the ground, Ricky still covered my eyes, and my arms were crossed. "I'm not going anywhere." I insisted. One of them sighed. "Peanut, pick her up." Ricky said finally. "NO!" I insisted. I grabbed at the railing of the stairs to the Girl's Dorm, and I felt arms around my waist, trying to pull me away. "Let go!" I yelled. I finally gave up and let them take me, but I whined the entire way.
"Why can't I walk? Why can't I see? What if I tell the cops? What if a prefect sees you? I can get Johnny to yell at you both." I said. "You're not going to walk, you won't. Ya can't see cuz its a surprise." Peanut said. "Norton'll get his dad to not get us in trouble, we know how to hide from the prefects, and Johnny's in on this." Ricky replied wearily. I groaned.
When they finally stopped, I was poking Peanut, trying to get him to put me down. He set me on my feet, and took his hand off my eyes. "Surprise!" Johnny, Ricky, and Peanut yelled out. I looked to what they were pointing to, and I saw a brand new red bike. "Woah!" I said, running over and inspecting it. It was the fastest bike they had in Shiny Bikes now, and it had flames on the side. I laughed, knowing this was probably Lefty's idea to put flames. "I said no gifts." I scowled jokingly. "And we didn't listen." Ricky added. I rolled my eyes and hugged them each.
I rode around on my bike, everywhere. I rode around Harrington House which seemed to please Tad but aggravate Derby. I laughed at Derby and told him to 'suck it up and take it like a man!'. Tad laughed at this, and Derby shot him a dirty look.
The football field was much more fun. The jocks all wondered what the greaser girl was doing there, and I yelled back "I can ride around this thing faster then you can sprint!'. "Oh yeah?" Casey challenged. I got of my bike, and walked towards him. "Yeah! I can!" I said smugly. "Fine. let's have a race." he continued. "Ok, me on my bike, you sprinting?" I asked, trying to sound tough. The other jocks edged him on. "Fine! Let's go." he said, starting to walk towards the football field. "Wait, if I win, you all have to call me Jenny, not 'hot mess'. Gotit?" I asked. "Alright, and if I win, you kiss me, and we still get ta call ya hot mess!" Casey said. "Ew! Do you want me to throw up? That won't be so hot, but it'd be a mess I can tell ya that." I said rudely. "Whatever!" Casey said angrily. Oh, how I love annoying the jocks!
"Ready...Set...GO!" Damon yelled. Casey shot forward as I rode slowly on my bike. "How's she ever gonna win?!" A few jocks called out. I giggled. I'd let Casey get the head start, then I'd really start riding. As soon as he reached the corner, I started peddaling, faster and faster. "WHAT?!" Casey yelled. He stopped, just as I passed him. I laughed loudly enough so he could hear me. "Aw, 'Chu forget I'm the girlfriend of the Bullworth Hot Rods president? I ain't riding slow!" I sang.
I started to get tired, and Casey did too. He was dumb for thinking he could out ride me, while he was on his feet and me on wheels. I reached to where the jocks were. "There. You call me Jenny now, and that's that. Later idiots!" I said, skipping to the Auto Shop with my bike.
"Where have you been?" Johnny asked me when I got back. "I raced some loser jock and I beat him. I was on my bike, he was on his feet. Kind of slow for a fast runner." I said, grinning. "That's my girl!" Johnny said proudly.
The next day, I went to the Cafeteria. I knew it was Greg's birthday, problem was I was so busy about the North Carolina issue, I didn't get him a present! "You get 'im anything?" I asked Johnny. "Nope, I was too busy being depressed" he joked. I saw Greg enter and I dragged Johnny over to him. "Happy birthday! Didn't have a birthday present,so I'll just give you a hug!" I said, hugging Greg. I looked at Johnny, who looked rather queasy and uncomfortable. "Anyways, I didn't have a birthday present, so..." Johnny said, reaching for an apple. "Here's an apple." he continued, chucking it at Greg. Greg managed to catch it, and bit into it. "Thanks! I gotta get back to the dorm, I'm gonna go grab something." he said, leaving. I spent the rest of my day with the greasers.
After hanging out with the greasers, I went back to my dorm. I was in my bed, staring at the journal my father gave me. "What do you think next year's going to be like?" I asked Liz. "I don't know, anything could happen. I wonder if Russell will be back by then..." she replied. "I hope so. I feel so bad. Poor Russell." Poor Liz I added mentally.
"Yeah I know. Poor Russell. I mean if I'm having a hart time with him being away, I can't imagine what he's going though. Well the courts only said that he would be gone for summer. I mean this can't affect his schooling, now that he's getting better. You know he actually passed this term. So in the fall he will officially be a junior, like me. What I'm really hoping is that he gets back by his birthday. I want to throw him a party and he can sit onstage wearing a crown, and opening presents." She then went to sleep.
I continued staring at the journal, when it hit me. Maybe, just maybe, my dad thought that my year at Bullworth was story-worthy. I started remembering everything, from my first day. Lucky I have a good memory. I wondered how I'd organize it, as I already thought that I'd title it "Jenny Wolf's Diary." After all, diary entries were meant to be written the date of whatever mentioned had happened. I decided that it wouldn't be a diary, just a story from my perspective. I decided to write what I thought before Bullworth as a preview. I labeled the time that I'd met a few of the greasers and Tom, Wade, and Trent as 'Chapter 1: New Friends'. My hand ached when I was finished with the first chapter.
I read through it, feeling proud that I'd remembered so much. Laying the book on the floor next to my bed, I went to sleep.
I didn't only slip into my deep sleep, but also my future... at Bullworth.
The End

Midwest drought and heat increase water supply worries
CHICAGO – Water worries are springing up across the Midwest amid worsening drought conditions.
Demand is approaching record levels in some areas, forcing voluntary and mandatory usage restrictions as utilities strain to pump enough water while reservoirs and other sources shrink.
Des Moines issued a peak water alert after demand Wednesday reached 90.6 million gallons, nearing the 2006 record of 92 million gallons, says Des Moines Water Works assistant general manager Gary Benjamin.
If the situation gets worse, he says, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers could be asked to release water from the Saylorville Lake reservoir. "We're just asking people to use water wisely," he says.
All of Indiana is under a water-shortage warning, and many communities there have implemented mandatory restrictions. A water-shortage watch is in place for more than two dozen Kentucky counties, and Nebraska farmers have been ordered to stop using rivers and streams to irrigate their crops because of dropping water levels.
"You have the worst of all worlds: very little supply and an absolute straining of the system," says Les Lampe, vice president of Black & Veatch, a global engineering and consulting company specializing in infrastructure. It's a reminder, he says, of the need to replace aging and leaking water distribution systems.
Voluntary restrictions are in place in Decatur, Ill., where levels at the primary water source, Lake Decatur, drop by about a half-inch daily, City Manager Ryan McCrady says.
Without significant rainfall soon, he says, "we will be looking at mandatory water conservation measures."
The Sangamon River, which feeds Lake Decatur, had a flow of 3.4 cubic feet per second at a gauge in Monticello, Ill., on Thursday, says Gary Johnson, a U.S. Geological Survey hydrologist/engineer. The average flow for July 19: 212 cubic feet per second.
Almost two-thirds of the USA is now enduring drought conditions, according the U.S. Drought Monitor released Thursday. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's outlook for August through October predicts continuing dry conditions in the Midwest. Elsewhere:
•The Morse Reservoir, a major water source for central Indiana, is 6 feet below normal and the Geist Reservoir 2 feet below, says Sarah Holsapple, a spokeswoman for Citizens Water.
After record-breaking demand of 233 million gallons on June 28, she says, water-use restrictions helped bring that number to 153 million gallons a day. "We need 7 or 8 inches of steady rain," she says.
Rick Fox, who oversees Aqua America operations in nine Indiana counties, says voluntary usage limits in the Fort Wayne area lowered demand from 6.1 million gallons on June 28 to 5.5 million gallons over the past 10 days.
•Mike Wahlfield of Wahlfield Drilling in Comstock Park, Mich., is getting calls daily from people whose wells are drying up. This week he extended the depth of one well from 70 feet to 120. "It's hard to live without water," he says.

Hobby Lobby wants to know exactly what the word "directly" means.
A quibble over the wording in Tennessee's tax code has the Oklahoma City-based hobby business suing the state over $163,827.91 in unpaid taxes. At issue is whether tax-exempt purchases can be made with personal checks or whether they have to be made "directly" by checks cut by an eligible organization.
Hobby Lobby filed suit last week to have a Davidson County Chancery Court judge decide.
The Tennessee Department of Revenue declined to discuss the lawsuit Tuesday, saying the agency doesn't comment on ongoing litigation. The attorney for Hobby Lobby couldn't be reached.
A revenue department audit in November concluded Hobby Lobby owed the state $136,197.51 in sales tax on purchases, plus interest. The agency said those purchases were made with personal funds instead of funds from tax-exempt organizations. According to state law, such sales are only exempt when they go "directly to the exempt institution, organization or historical property."
Hobby Lobby appealed the decision, saying it's unclear what that even means. In a Feb. 12 letter, lawyers for the firm wrote that "the statute or related regulations do not elaborate upon the meaning of 'directly.'"
"Although payment sources other than organization checks and credit cards may have been used to purchase items, it is reasonable to assume that the purchase was to be used 'directly' for the benefit of the exempt organization and not for personal use," the letter continued.
Patricia Kussmann, the administrative hearing officer who ruled in the state's favor, wrote in response that anytime a tax exemption is requested on a purchase, a certificate spells out that personal funds can't be used.
"'Directly' is not an ambiguous term," she wrote.

I've been ever-more-excitedly watching you post your training and head off to workshop over these past few months. I teared up a little when I got to that standalone sentence, "On Saturday I was invited to become a MIRI research associate," because now I know your origin story, I understand how much that invitation must have meant to you.
I haven't really felt qualified to comment on many of your other posts (sometimes the level of the material, sometimes feeling too shy to commend your efforts), so I shall say now:
Thank you. We're rooting for you. Keep on saving the world!
'It goes without saying' that I'm hella looking forward to your next posts.

Posted by: Christian Wimmer in: Common, JEDI Windows API Headers, JEDI Windows Security Code Lib
Dear Visitor/Delphi programmer,
As the main developer of JWSCL and the author of the most blog posts here, I will retreat from the projects for the next months. At least I will try to fix bugs, write some articles and manage the whole project as a project manager. Don't expect much from me the next months. The reason is that I have to spend more time for projects at university and work (make money for study).
I don't really know how long this will last. It is likely to become at least October 2008. This is also the first birthday of JWSCL. So it is very important that some people join us to finish the roadmap.
Best Regards,
Christian Wimmer

Paris Hilton gets pranked by Richard Branson
The billionaire founder of Virgin, Richard Branson, threw a Mad Hatter-themed birthday party for his son on Saturday and invited Paris Hilton to attend. According to the Daily Mail she agreed and wanted to dress as Alice in Wonderland so she'd be the center of attention, but when Branson found out he secretly ordered all 60 of his waitresses to dress as Alice, even pushing the prank further by deliberately mistaking her for one of the staff and asking her to get him a drink.
The bash was attended by the U.K.'s A-list, with such guests as Princes William and Harry, Kate Moss, and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. "It was one hell of a party," a source told the Mirror. "Paris found herself looking more like Tweedledum as she was surrounded by dozens of other Alices." But perhaps the prank's on Branson. Hilton's rep tells The Scoop that "to the best of my knowledge" the heiress wasn't even at the party.
Somebody definitely got X Punk'd here, I just can't figure out who. Either Paris Hilton for the obvious, or Richard Branson for pretending to not recognize the wrong person. Considering one is the hugely successful founder of Virgin Records and the other cries when she can't get into fancy clubs, I'm just going to assume it's Paris and continue laughing sophisticatedly as I sip this delicious martini. And by delicious martini I mean my used cereal milk.
NOTE: Richard Branson, if you're reading this please adopt me. I'm well behaved and I may or may not carry the secret to eternal life with me.
