Now that you're self employed, you're responsible for paying your own taxes, and the IRS expects a payment every quarter. Here's a rundown of what you need to know about calculating estimated taxes.
 Congratulations on starting your own business! Most likely you are experienced in your line of business and have done research to determine your business plan, how to get customers, how to price your products and services, etc. But have you thought about your taxes? If you were an employee before starting your own business, your taxes were probably pretty straight forward. Every paycheck had withholdings that added up (more or less) to the amount you would owe at year end, right? But now there is no paycheck – you must calculate and pay those withholdings yourself – ouch! You do this through quarterly estimated tax payments to the IRS and most states.
 This article applies to sole proprietors and members of a partnership that are considered to be self-employed. The concepts are similar for S-corporations and C-Corporations but the specifics are different and not covered here.
 When do I make estimated tax payments?
 Estimated tax payments are due to the IRS on April 15 th , June 16 th , September 15 th and January 15 th , 2015.
 You are expected to "pay as you go" so if your income is roughly equal each month, you need to make four equal payments or you may still be subject to a penalty even if you have paid the correct amount by the end of the year.
 RELATED: How to Pay Yourself When You're a Sole Proprietor
 What IRS form do I need?
 Use IRS Form 1040-ES - Estimated Tax for Individuals to estimate amounts and make payments.
 How much do I need to pay?
 The general IRS rule is …. You must prepay (through estimated tax payments)
 100% of the total tax due on your 2013 return
 OR
 90% of the total tax that will be due on your 2014 return
 Whichever is smaller
 ** If your Adjusted Gross Income was more than $150,000 for 2013 (or $75,000 if your filing status for 2014 will be Married Filing Separately), then you need to substitute 110% for the 100% above. (Note that there are different rules for farmers, fishermen. Also note that you don't need to make estimated tax payments if you expect to owe less than $1000 in taxes or your total tax liability for last year was zero.)
 The good news is that you already know what 100% of your tax was on your 2013 return so you can use that number and pay 25% of it each quarter. The possible bad news is that you make be making less this year as a new business owner than you were as an employee. If you can reasonably estimate the tax that will be due on your 2014 return, it may help you save a bit in estimated payments. You may want to meet with your tax professional to learn more about taxes for business owners. As an employee, your employer paid the employer portion of your taxes but as a business owner, you must pay both the employer and employee portion – these extra taxes are called self-employment taxes.
 RELATED: 7 Tax Deductions for the Self-Employed
 Business Owner AND Employee?
 As a note, if you have just started your business this year but maintained your employee status at another company, you may be able to avoid estimated taxes (at least this year) because your withholdings will probably be close to 100% of last year's tax. You should double check just to be sure. It doesn't matter where the tax payments come from (employee or self-employment) as long as the total is correct.
 Example:
 In this very simple example, let's assume that you anticipate your business profit to be about $50,000 in this first year.
 Let's also assume the following:

 This is your only income for the year 2014
 You are single with no dependents
 You will be taking the standard deduction
 You have no other deductions like retirement account contributions or education deductions

 Your total income tax will be approximately $5,000 and your total self-employment tax will be approximately $7,100 for a total of $12,100 in total tax. If this is less than your total tax from your 2013 tax return then take 90% of this number (i.e. $10,890) and pay 25% of this amount (i.e. $2,723) each quarter. Remember to check your state guidelines as well.
 RELATED: Understanding the Home Office Deduction
 Here is a link to the IRS Self Employed Individuals Tax Center – from here you can get to the IRS Form 1040-ES and instructions. If you have a copy of last year's tax return and you have estimated the business profit for this year, you can do the worksheets on Form 1040-ES and figure the correct amount to pay for estimated taxes.

text: The political veered into the personal at times during hours of debate.In remarks on the House floor, Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-N.J., said one South Carolina lawmaker who has criticized the measure "personally took a small business" disaster loan in the past. While he didn't mention any names, South Carolina Rep. Mulvaney has said he received such a loan. Mulvaney later told reporters the comparison was a poor one. He said that unlike funds in the Sandy legislation, the loan he received was approved within the budget, and not as an add-on that increased the deficit. In the weeks since the storm hit, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has spent about $3.1 billion for construction of shelters, restoration of power and other immediate needs after the late-October storm pounded the Atlantic Coast with hurricane-force winds and coastal flooding. Officials say Sandy is the most costly natural disaster since Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The storm damaged or destroyed 305,000 housing units in New York, and more than 265,000 businesses were disrupted there, officials have said. In New Jersey, more than 346,000 households were destroyed or damaged, and more than 40,000 families remain living out of their homes, according to officials.

The two other pumpkins that are in front of this one are fine, they were blocking my view of the monstrisity that was happening behind them. Dh was supposed to take them with him to shoot at for fun. Anyway, I noticed a puddle under my table this morning that looked like my dog had had an accident. He has never in 5.5 years had an accident, but he is on medicine so I just cleaned it up. I am conjested so I couldn't smell it. After an hour or so the puddle was back, smaller, but still.
I moved the stack of towels he was supposed to take but forgot and discovered the rotting mess. The idiot put a carved pumpkin on my dining room table! Anyway after cleaning up the grotesque heap of putrid mush I am left with a horrible white mark on my table.
I am so upset. I had to open up the table and clean the nasty juice from the tracks for the extension leaf.
It was just EVERYWHERE! I have googled how to fix this, but there are so many options. Has anyone ever found one that works? One site said to slather it with mayo. ???! I don't want to make it worse. Am I just going to have to have it refinished? I am so upset, I love my table! Thanks in advance!

Django (1966)
Director: Sergio Corbucci
Country: Italy
Language: Italian
Subtitles: English (.srt file)
Aspect Ratio: Widescreen 1.66:1
Length: 92mn
File: Remastered Uncut Dvdrip Xvid Avi - 512x304 - 697mb
A coffin-dragging gunslinger enters a town caught between two feuding factions, the KKK and a gang of Mexican Bandits, and is caught up in a struggle against them.
This is an awsome Spaghetti Western. This is the original that launched over 70 imitation and non-direct sequels. This film was also the inspiration for Robert Rodriguez's El Mariachi and Desperado. The end shootout in the graveyard is amazing. Also, the feeling of the wind swept mud ridden streets is ever present. I respect anti-heroes of film more than the prefect hero. Django is just as cold if not colder and more relentless than the opponents he takes on and out. The coffin is a great original touch. Also check out THE sequel Django Strikes Again (with Franco Nero) and one of the best Django homage sequels Kill, Django Kill starring Thomas Milian (released by Blue Underground Entertainment). This movie gets two colt winchesters up!!!!

#Implementation ideas
This is a place for us to share ideas, about implementation ...what elements are we going to include to ensure there is buy-in and implementation?
The Ideal Participants are Leaders!
The ideal participants for our curriculum unit plan are leaders in the school system such as administrators and superintendents. The main reason why is because if there is buy-in from administrators, it really influences the implementation of the program at their school: "There is broad research evidence that principals, head persons and school management teams cannot change schools just on their own, but that they are the single most influential group of persons to make change processes fail" (Altrichter,2005, p.10). Thus, if we have administrators excited about implementing this program, it may have a ripple effect of them becoming accompaniment providers. They would then circulate this knowledge in their schools and create even more accompaniment providers! (Lafortune & Lepage, 2009).

Lafortune, L., & Lepage, C. (2009). Professional accompaniment model for change: For innovative leadership. Fusion Collection 5. Québec: Presses de l'Université du Québec.
Starting the unit plan by clarifying the objectives and creating assessments.
We began our unit plan by clarifying the key knowledge and skills we wanted to convey to the participants. Later, we added assessments after learning that it is important to start with the goals of what is to be taught, as well as what evidence we need to see that the participants have the understanding (Wiggins & McTighe, 1998). While thinking of the assessments to use we pondered "What would we accept as evidence that students have attained the desired understandings and proficiencies"(Wiggins & McTighe, 1998, p. 2). In addition, we used Anderson and Krathwohl's Taxonomy (2001) to create the assessments that include tasks which are more simple mental functions to more complex. The tasks progressed from remembering to understanding and then to evaluating and finally creating. We have more performance related activities as they tend to show deeper understanding of the material (Wiggins & McTighe, 1998). We also want to include elements of authentic assessment as it can increase their self-confidence especially if we give them feedback on what is working and how to improve (Wiggins, 1989).

The Importance of Modeling The Practices Being Discussed
We have tried to include a lot of modeling in our curriculum unit plan where either the accompaniment provider engages in the processes taught and also by showing videos of others doing the same. By using a video, such as the one below titled "Mindfulness in Schools," participants not only raise their awareness about the importance of mindfulness (i.e., benefits of mindfulness in the classroom) but that they also see others who are similar to them living the practice.
Rationale: The accompaniment provider that is carrying out our unit plan can play this video as an example of modeling the breathing practice as an example of a self-regulation activity. The breathing exercise can actually be practiced in class and then used to promote discussion about the benefits received as Daniel states he was more focused and felt better. Fink (2003) states that it is a good practice to balance lessons with active learning which involves doing and observing and, in this case, they can do both! In addition, they can engage in reflective dialogue after trying out the exercise (Fink, 2003).
This video titled "Basic of Life" can be shown by the accompaniment provider to model the practice of doing a breathing exercise for self-regulation. Participants can see the benefits that are received after engaging in the practice.

Making Action Plans & Blogging To Show Daily Progress
Why Did We Include The Element of Blogging? (Please see the screencast below)
Lafortune & Lepage (2009) stresses that the way to get change is through taking action and that action plans help with this. I thought why not have the accompaniment providers model the process by first creating their own action plan and then sharing it with others to comment on. I created my own action plan and invited the team to comment (please see the link below). Also, I find that this blog can be a valuable way to collaboratively create a system to track evidence of actions taken as others can also blog as well (Lafortune & Lepage, 2009). Thus, I thought it would be a great idea to use buffalo.io (a new blogging platform) to update my daily progress toward my goal. I updated my blog with a picture of the sights I see while running or a picture of me running. The time spent is captured on the blog, as well as sharing my feelings throughout the process. Also, I intend on sharing a screenshot of the app called Simple Goals which lets you check mark if you have reached your exercise goal.
Lafortune (2009) stresses the importance of planning to include chances for the participants to share their ideas & resources as well as seeing other viewpoints and compare to trigger reflection, and then hopefully, leading them to create intentions to change. In addition she also emphasized the importance of allowing participants to show their prior knowledge, and their current thinking processes as well as their feelings. I think that the http://buffalo.io blog which we introduce in our lessons will be perfect for sparking reflection.The accompaniment provider should also be willing to show and try out reflection if they expect the participants to do it too.
The Importance of Credible Arguments
Please see the link below to the blog titled "Starting My Habit of Running." I created this blog to show how being engaged in the development of this unit plan caused a change in my life and helped me not only reflect but also take action to model the practice of creating an action plan and tracking my actions.

Lafortune (2009) proposed that for those that are resisting the change, it is beneficial to provide them with "credible arguments" (p. 45). The video below is an interview between Brian Johnson and Dr. Heidi Grant Halvorson where Dr. Heidi explains goal-setting in depth so as to provide expert insight on the reasoning and practice of goal-setting to convince those who really want to deeply understand the the rationale for the change (Lafortune, 2009).

This video "No Sweat" is a summary of key ideas in Michelle Segar's (Ph.D) book titled "No Sweat" which breaks down some ideas on building a healthy habit. These ideas would help the accompaniment providers and those being accompanied understand the process of being motivated to exercise and it also talks about a learning mindset.
Teaching/Learning Activities: Including a balance of Information & Ideas + Active Learning (Fink, 2003)
Fink (2003) states that when planning out your unit of learning, try to ensure that there is a balance in the activities that you are asking students to perform. An example of one of those elements is when you are requiring your students to read information and discuss the ideas presented. We will require participants in our unit plan to look at and discuss information and ideas such as the following:
Information & Ideas For Learners (Passive)
Poster on a meditation practice
As Fink (2003) states it is important to give information and ideas. This is a video titled "Priorities of Life" that can be a viewed between classes. Participants learn about the importance of scheduling specific time to develop good habits in life. This video can also be used to elicit discussion as Lafortune (2009) stresses is an important part of learning.
Active Learning Components (Fink, 2003) :
These websites contains activities you can teach in the sessions. They add that experiential component that Fink (2003) mentioned as important.

Tracking your practice with Practice Diary App
Below you will find two screen shots from the Practice Diary app.
This is an app that can be used to track actual practice time spent in reaching your goal and it lets you break down your goal. For example if your goal is running, you can break it into its component parts such as Aerobic Capacity, Cardio, and Muscular Strength. Then, under each component, you can add specific exercises that you can log and track. For example under Cardio, I added in Jumping Jacks. Next, under Endurance I added the exercise of running for 15 minutes. After an exercise is done you can enter the amount of time spent and a space is there for each entry to write a note where you can share strategies, tips, and how you are feeling as well.
Goal's Lesson
The link above is an example of what you can do during a goal's session. We would show this video and then participants would see and understand how to create a goal card. At the end of the video is a prompt to work together and create goal cards. First, rationale is given for the reason the goal card is being created in the way it is. Lafortune & Lepage (2009) stresses that it is important to explain the rationale for the change and the fundamentals as well. Second, this is an example of the modelling process. Third, as Fink (2003) suggested, it is important to combine the receiving of ideas and information with actually taking action. Therefore, to create a similar lesson include two components of active learning where they watch the video and then create goal cards.

Performance Assessment Focus
Using the Anderson and Krathwohl's Taxonomy 2001 to help with the assessments.
Lafortune's Frame of Reference
and Lesson Planning
Lafortune describes eight professional competencies that have an impact on development and change. The plan clarifies the goal and expectations that provides the direction for change and learning. The lesson, that is included in our curriculum document, on "Mindfuless and Breathing Exercises" highlights how to use Lafortune's competencies in lesson planning.
Lafortune, L. (2009). Professional competencies for accompanying change: A frame of reference. Boisbraind, QC: Prologue.
Using slack.com to share experiences, track evidence of action and give feedback
Slack.com can be used to model how to create an action plan and document your goals into your schedule. This program can also be used to share comments about your experiences and successes. Slack.com also allows you to send private messages to provide personalized feedback.
Implementation Ideas
1. Explain the rationale and goal setting & meditation using these videos to show during the sessions or have learners view between sessions.
Mindfulness Exercise - Try it!
As part of the preparation for long distance running, it is important that we exercise to prepare our bodies both physical and mentally. Mindfulness exercises will help you prepare. It teaches you how to pay attention to your body on purpose. Pay attention to what? You need to be aware of how your thoughts are influencing how you are feeling at the moment. Mindful exercises help you to calm your mind and be aware of your body. It helps you to be in a wiser relationship with yourself and what is happening in your life. It gives you control! Try this exercise to learn how to become mindful. Mindfulness exercises helps you to move from "sparkling" awareness to assimilation (Lafortune, 2009).
Freire (1978) and Lafortune (2009) discuss the importance of reflective and interactive collaboration. The article "The Four Dimensions of Reflecting" looks at four levels of reflective practices that encourage meaningful dialogue. The first level is "Thinking Back" which Freire states is one of his indicators of a strong collaborative partnership between the teacher and student. The teacher and the student need to bring their life experiences to the discussion as prior learning does impact next steps. The second level is "Thinking Forward" and what the student thinks will have the impact on their learning. Lafortune sees this level as moving from awareness to engagement if the accompanied finds the program has meaning for them. The third level "Thinking Inward" is similar to Lafortune's socioconstructivist construct as feelings and emotions about the change are discussed and analyzed. The fourth level is "Thinking Outward" as you consider other people's point of view. Freire was extremely involved in his work involving all four stages as critical thinking" was his passion for teaching and learning more about it. Reflective practice and a way to capture your thoughts is an important stage in learning and positive change. Find a tool that works best for you and enjoy the process.

Let's talk about the wild elephant in the room.
In the article "Set Your Mind Free" Deepak states that in India, they compare the restless mind to the wild elephant. Dr. Deepak Chopra is an advocator for spirituality and mind-body relationships. His mindfulness approach looks at how consciousness creates your reality. Deepak Chopra discusses the steps for successful meditation in his article. As in Freire's (1978) theory, the gathering of knowledge and life experiences are to be shared with each other. Deepak highlights some of the skills that are important to share with the students who you are mentoring, especially in meditative reflection. The creation of a meditative state takes planning and practice. You need a teacher beside you to share the tools and skills necessary to experience internal calmness (Lafortune, 2009; Freire, 1978; Rogers, 2006). Deepak explains how you can reap the rewards of achievement, effort and success through an accompanied exercise in mindfulness.

"Whether you believe you can or believe you can't, you're probably right."
-Henry Ford
Grit is the ability to persevere to achieve your goal. It is about picking yourself up and dusting yourself off if you fall. Do you have the ability, tenacity, and integrity to continue when faced with obstacles? This is an area many educators are studying as they recognize the characteristics of being a "gritty" person are skills that are required to achieve long-term goals. As an accompanied provider and the accompanied, having "grit" means showing determination to strive for the successful achievement of the end goal. Psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Angela Duckworth, coined the word and believes that "grit" is more important that IQ. This theory of the importance of perseverance and tenacity to implement positive change was studied throughout our course.

Showing tweets like this is an example of modeling. Educators can see fellow educators showing and sharing how they are using self-regulation in their classroom (Lafortune, 2009).
Reflective - Interactive Dialogue
Lafortune's competency 4 looks at reflective-interactive communication. The accompanied provider needs to interact with the accompanied to ensure that mutual understanding and communication occurs. This process needs to be monitored as check-ins will provide the accompanied provider information of where the accompanied are in their progress toward implementation. The accompanied provider also needs to monitor their growth in the process so they can update their practices. Teachers and students need to check in to keep track or their progress. There are many different tools to support the reflective-interactive process and make sure to use the tool that works for you. How do I start? What do I write about in a journal entry? The article "How to Keep a Journal" gives advice on how to prepare for the reflective process. If you enjoy interactive reflection start a blog to connect with people who are reflecting (blogging) on similar topics.

Making the program adaptive
Altrichter (2005) shared how the adaptive evolutionary approach allows the team to modify and adapt the program to their needs. Even though our original intention was to share how to work your way up to running 10km, and thus help your students do the same, we feel that based on the team members you are working with, you can adjust our hypotheses presented.
The team who is implementing our unit plan can adapt the program in the following ways... 1) Choose the exercise they want to implement (I chose running as I love to run and have been doing it as a child. I was in the cross-country club as an elementary school student). 2) Choose the amount of time and frequency of the exercise (I chose 5 minutes based on the suggestion mentioned in the article below)
This website has a variety of workouts to choose from that fit your needs: http://darebee.com/workout-cards.html
The Prezi below discusses the complexity of running and highlights the physical elements that educators must focus on to aid their students in becoming great runners. To "actively participate in moderate to vigorous activity each day" is an expectation outlined in the Ontario Health and Physical Education curriculum. As such, learning to run and implementing our running curriculum is a means to meeting several expectations that teachers are already accountable for teaching.

Creating Sociocognitive Conflict
Running Requires More Than Just Endurance Training
Around the five minute mark, Brian shares that "Exercising is as effective as Zoloft in reducing depression." This quote can be used to ask open ended questions to find out what people believe about the impact of exercise. Lafortune (2009) proposes that sociocognitive conflict is an important aspect of creating change in a group. This video and the statements in it are provocative in that it might be a surprise to some people to find out that exercise can uplift the mood so greatly it can help some people experiencing depression!
Meditation for all Types of Learners
Meditation is not an easy thing to learn how to do and often leaves students feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. It is a skill that requires practice and for young children having a guide to help them is necessary. In this way the teacher acts as the accompaniment provider for the student and guides the student through their learning journey. Below is a guide that provides examples of different types of guided meditation that the teacher can do with the student. The type used will depend on the learner, their interests, their needs and their desires.
Running can be FUN !
When we are not good at something, rarely do we find it fun. However, if we do not find something fun, we are unlikely to want to do it or practice it. Running is a skill that requires persistence and practice and it is up to educators to create fun and engaging ways for students to want to learn to run. The following article discusses ways in which educators can make running fun for their students.
The article above is one that I had published in Voice Magazine that discusses how the positive relationships that teachers create with their students not only helps to develop positive self-esteem but also provides students with the motivation and determination to succeed. How we develop those relationships is by getting to know our students, recognizing their needs, and by understanding the personal challenges they face each and every day. By sharing with my students a little bit of who I am and by inviting them to share my passion for running inspires them to believe in themselves.
Setting Goals to Inspire Student Engagement and Turn Them Into "Self-Actualizers"
In recent years there has been a shift towards student-centred teaching and learning and a large focus on making student learning self-directed. Setting goals allows students to take ownership over what they want to achieve with the assistance of the teacher who is there to guide them and accompany them on their journey.

Narcissism is characterized by a distorted self-image. Narcissists demonstrate behavior that is self-centered, constantly seek admiration and attention, exaggerate their self-worth and show little or no empathy toward others. While many children and adolescents demonstrate narcissistic qualities, a diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder is not usually given until adulthood. According to minddisorders.com, "Doctors rarely give a diagnosis of personality disorder to children on the grounds that children's personalities are still in process of formation and may change considerably by the time they are in their late teens." Parents can play a major role in helping their narcissistic child develop into a caring adult capable of fulfilling relationships with others.
Step 1
Give praise judiciously. While it is important to recognize accomplishments in your child, making every good deed or action into a reason for a party only causes children to have an unrealistically positive view of their worth. As adults, they fail to take pleasure in the things they have accomplished because praise is expected, and yet feels hollow.
Step 2
Rein in excessive spending and attention. A child who is spoiled and does not experience the reward that comes from hard work will often have trouble finding true meaning in any accomplishment. A reward that is earned through hard work truly is sweetest.
Step 3
Appreciate your child for who he is, not what he has accomplished. A child who is under too much pressure to perform in a certain manner, or has parents who are forcing him to achieve goals in order to satisfy an unfulfilled need in themselves, will often sacrifice his own self-expression to gain the approval of his parents.
Step 4
Provide your child with reasonable boundaries and limits and remain consistent in enforcing these expectations. Children develop best in an environment where they have clear and consistent rules, which will foster independence and healthy self-worth.
Step 5
Allow your child to make mistakes. Parents who hover and control every aspect of their children's lives run the risk of stunting the natural development of childhood and adolescence. Learning that perseverance leads to success, and that it is OK to make mistakes along the way, are key to living a happy and productive life.

Seeking to break a deadlock on a high-profile reform bill, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has moved to force a Senate vote on legislation to bar insider trading by lawmakers and staff.
Reid and McConnell want to move forward on the House version of the legislation. Two significant provisions were dropped by the lower chamber, angering some Democratic and Republican lawmakers in both chambers. The House also expanded the bill to cover executive branch agencies.

Google Broadband | USsPost.com
February 10, 2010 by Post Team
Google Broadband | USsPost.com:Google, never satisfied with the pace of change, plans a test that will provide 50,000 to 500,000 people with fiber-optic broadband Internet access with a network speed of a gigabit per second starting as soon as this year.
"We're planning to build and test ultra high-speed broadband networks in a small number of trial locations across the United States. We'll deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today with 1 gigabit per second, fiber-to-the-home connections," Google product managers Minnie Ingersoll and James Kelly said in a blog post Wednesday. "Our goal is to experiment with new ways to help make Internet access better and faster for everyone."
The company plans to use the experiment to test new ways to build fiber networks and to see what applications programmers can write. And Chief Executive Eric Schmidt called for better Internet access in the United States in a Washington Post op-ed Wednesday, calling it a matter of national competitiveness.
"High-speed Internet access must be much more widely available. Broadband is a major driver of new jobs and businesses, yet we rank only 15th in the world for access. More government support for broadband remains critical," Schmidt said.
Google suggested trials of gigabit-per-second Net access in comments to the Federal Communications Commission's National Broadband Plan, but then realized Google itself could be the catalyst, said Richard Whitt, Google's Washington, D.C., telecom and media counsel..
"As we thought more," Whitt said, "we realized we could leave this to the government, but we're fortunate to have some resources. Why don't we try this ourselves and make it a reality as a new testbed approach?"
Google, whose profits come from ads on its search engine, has been pushing for better Internet access for years. It's sought to catalyze next-generation wireless networking by investing in Clearwire, encourage WiFi in airports and airplanes, open up use of "white space" in U.S. radio spectrum, and foster Net access for billions of people who lack it.
Google will offer the broadband access "at competitive prices," Kelly said in a YouTube video about the project.
One can imagine some angst at companies such as AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast, which today offer broadband speeds in the United States that typically are in the range of 1 to 10 megabits per second, though 100Mbps rates are in the offing. However, these companies may find a place in the Google plan, which will give users "the choice of multiple service providers."
Details remain muddy about how exactly middlemen or partners will be involved, but here's what Google had to say about the partnership matter in a statement:
We will allow third-parties to offer their own Internet access services, or other services, using our network. We believe this approach will maximize user choice as well as spur greater innovation and competition. Most providers in Europe and many places elsewhere in the world operate open access networks. It will be open to any service provider, including incumbents and new entrants. "Open" means open.
As part of the planned trial, Google will offer competitively priced, high-speed Internet access service to residents of the chosen communities. In addition, we will allow third parties to offer their own Internet access services, or other data services, on our open network. It's too early to say how much we will charge for access to our network. We plan to set prices that are fair and competitive.
Whitt said he alerted his peers at Internet service providers AT&T, Comcast, Verizon, Cox Communications, Qwest, and Time Warner about Google's plan shortly after Google published its plan in the public blog. The purpose of the e-mail was "to let them know this is a testbed approach. Nothing here is intended to supplant what they do in the market."
Still, it's easy to imagine displeasure as these companies, already squabbling with Google over Net neutrality matters, reckon with a rival that makes their efforts at innovation look a generation behind.
Other Google services stand to gain from faster Net speeds. For example, high-definition video could help attract studios and make YouTube a pay-per-view competitor to Netflix and cable TV. Or Chrome OS, with its Web-based applications, could become a more responsive competitor to traditional operating systems. Google Voice, which is being augmented with voice-over-IP service, could become more compelling.
Note that phone and cable companies already offer some of those services through subscriptions that elevate them from being mere "dump pipe" providers of network access.
But boosting Google services is not the objective of the testbed, Whitt said. "The idea is not about pushing our own products and services. It's about creating next-generation products and technologies and applications and doing it an open and robust manner," he said.
Google is looking for community partners–states, counties, cities–for the project, with a March 26 deadline for getting in touch. Google's selections will be announced later this year.
"Then, if all things come together, we'd like to begin providing service toward the end of the year," Whitt said.
The work will involve more than just the "last mile" of net access, he said.
"We're building in very high capacity fiber to the homes. Beyond that, we have to build out the middle mile. That's got to be part of the whole network build," he said. "There are challenges in other parts of the network and we hope to tackle those at the same time."
And the next-generation Net addressing system, Internet Protocol version 6, could be part of the plan, too.
"Vint Cerf is pushing IPv6," Whitt said, referring to the Internet pioneer who's now Google's chief Internet evangelist. "My guess is he won't allow us to get away with running a network that doesn't have some IPv6 capabilities in there."

Do Not Fall Into the Diet Slave Trap
When you get started to lose weight it is very important that you do not fall into the trap of becoming a slave of your diet. Way to many people end up getting a completely wrong view on exactly what food is about. This is not the purpose on wanting to go on a diet in order to lose weight.
Basically it is much better for you if you focus more on healthy eating and forget about getting thin. Healthy eating, with the nutrients and calories you need will often lead to a weight loss in a more natural way. You also need to remember that depriving from food and the calories your body will need, will make it a whole lot easier for your body to gain all the weight back again after finishing your diet.
Weight Loss Supplement Normally a No Go, Except…
When it comes to losing weight you should normally stay away from supplements since more of them work in a way that is not good for you. They are often loaded with caffeine in order to raise your energy levels and that way burn more fat. Often you end up with restlessness and sleepless night. It is a fact that your body get used to the raised energy levels and will normalize after a few weeks, which means you will not be losing any more weight.
However there is one particular supplement you should consider getting started to use. Garcinia cambogia extract. Not because it will melt pounds of body fat off your body, but more because it will improve your bodily functions to get rid of body fat more effectively. This can be very healthy especially if you are just maintaining a healthy diet with the calories you need.
Free Trial Available
Currently there is a pure garcinia cambogia extract free trial available. This is a great way to enter the weight loss world of garcinia cambogia. Because here you will have the opportunity to actually test out and try garcinia cambogia extract and feel all the advantages.
It is the company behind Thin Secret Garcinia Cambogia who deliver this trial and here you will get a premium weight loss supplement that will give you all the right ingredients in the right dosage.
To Sum Up
So to sum up, you are much better off focusing on getting a healthy diet instead of a low calorie diet. This will make your body healthy and you will be losing weight naturally. You can garcinia cambogia extract because it will optimize your bodily functions so you will be able to process and digest fats and carbohydrates easier.
Check out http://freetrialsgarciniacambogia.net/ here you will find a lot more information regarding how exactly garcinia cambogia extract works.
You can also learn more about garcinia cambogia, dosage and how to use it at drugs.com

Grandmother who bought cocaine yacht says she 'didn't know of €300m plot'
A 56-year-old grandmother accused of paying for a yacht used in an international drug smuggling plot has said she did not know her husband wanted the boat to import cocaine.
Dawne Powell, from Guiseley, West Yorkshire, told Leeds Crown Court she was not involved in the operation to smuggle cocaine worth nearly £200 million into the UK.
She said she believed money used to buy two boats involved in the plot came from her husband Stephen Powell's poker winnings.
The court heard two boats were used in the scheme: the Makayabella, which was bought in the Caribbean and used to bring the drugs across the Atlantic from Venezuela; and a boat called the Sea Breeze, which was harboured in Wales with the intention of meeting the Makayabella out at sea and transferring the drugs.
The jury has been told that the Makayabella was seized by the Irish Navy on September 23 last year. It had 1,025 2.2lb (1kg) blocks of high-purity cocaine contained in 41 packages, with a street value of around £164 million.
The 60 foot vessel was intercepted some 200 nautical miles off Mizen Head - Ireland's most southerly point.
Stephen Powell bought the £100,000 Makayabella in his name but it was paid for in four instalments from a bank account in the sole name of his wife, the court heard.
Dawne Powell also paid for flights to St Lucia for her husband and his father, John Powell, insurance for the Makayabella and a satellite phone for the yacht, the jury was told.
The court heard that the Sea Breeze was bought by Stephen Powell but the cash payment of £18,350 was made by his wife.
Prosecutor Mark McKone said she was "in it together" with her husband.
Giving evidence today, Powell said she did not take part in the conspiracy to import cocaine and was "absolutely not" knowingly involved in paying for the items to be used in the plot.
The defendant, who said she had not worked for around 10 years, told the jury she believed their income came from selling cars and from poker, which her husband played five nights a week.
She said he gave her money in a carrier bag to pay for the Sea Breeze, which she believed he wanted to use for fishing trips.
She told the court: "He said it was poker money. I had no reason to doubt him."
When asked about payments totalling £100,000 that were made into her bank account, Powell said: "He told me he'd sold a boat."
Powell said her husband wanted to buy the Makayabella to sell for profit in the UK and he often asked her to make payments using her cards because he was always losing his own.
She said: "There were no alarm bells ringing. I wasn't told very much and I wasn't interested, to be honest."
Powell is on trial with James Hill, 30, from Ilkley, West Yorkshire. Both deny a charge of conspiracy to import cocaine. Powell also denies a charge of money laundering.
Stephen Powell, John Powell, Benjamin Mellor, Thomas Britteon, David Webster and Philip McElhone have all pleaded guilty to conspiracy to import cocaine, the court has heard.
The trial continues.

SSI for children with PDD NOS
Pervasive developmental disorder is part of the autism spectrum. Many parents are faced with having to spend quite a bit of money out of pocket for therapies, medications and miscellaneous other things to help their child.
Your child might, although no one can tell you for sure, qualify for SSI . You can apply online but you will have to do an in office interview as well. It is best to have the names of any and all doctors who have been involved with the childs are, the dates they saw them and any pertinent information about those visits (diagnosis, etc) to help you when filling out the paper work.
Even if your child doesn't qualify your state may allow a medicaid waiver (if you don't qualify for medicaid based on income) due to the health issues. You do have to apply for SSI in most places to be considered for a waiver.

The 10 most common cars under $15,000 at North American collector car auctions this year
Under $15,000 is a good price point for identifying running and driving classics that can be considered "affordable" partly because they fit the budget for most enthusiasts and partly because it's under the MSRP of just about any new automobile. Thankfully, there's a wide range of choices in the world of affordable classics that spans many makes, body styles and model years. Even so, at collector car auctions in North America during 2015 there are certain types of classics that cross the block significantly more often than others.
Out of the 10 most commonly seen sub-$15,000 cars by year, make and model, seven are either Mustangs or Corvettes, all but one are built by either Ford or GM, and eight were built after 1970. If you've been to a Mecum or a Barrett-Jackson event lately, the list shouldn't be much of a surprise. In addition to having modest values, most of these are famous cars with mass appeal, and all were built in huge quantities and have a solid survival rate. For example, almost 54,000 Corvettes were built in 1979 alone. For the 1966 Mustang, the number is over 600,000.
The typical demographic of both buyers and sellers at collector car auctions is also old enough to have nostalgic attachment to these cars rather than more modern classics with similar production numbers and purchase prices. While those modern classics have gotten a lot of recent attention from buyers, sellers and market commentators alike, it's still the prototypical classics like the Mustang, Corvette and Beetle that are dominating the collector car auction dockets.

Microsoft prices Xbox at US$499 for November launch
Related topics
Microsoft said on Monday its new Xbox One console would launch in November at US$499 (HK$3,874) in the United States, higher than most gamers had expected.
The price is greater than its current console, the Xbox 360, but it includes a Kinect motion sensor for hands-free game playing.
Microsoft announced the Xbox One in May as the latest move in its rivalry with Nintendo and Sony in the US$65 billion (HK$504.6 billion) a year video game business.
At a glitzy event at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, Microsoft said the console will be sold in 21 countries, including the United Kingdom.
The announcement of the pricing was met with some groans from the audience, mostly hard-core gaming enthusiasts, who had hoped for a cheaper price tag.
The 8 gigabyte Xbox One is priced higher than Nintendo's new Wii U 8GB model at US$300. Sony may detail pricing of its new PlayStation 4 at a presentation at E3 separately this week.
Microsoft also announced exclusive game titles coming to the new console, including an Xbox edition of Minecraft and a new Halo game, which will be released next year.
Yusuf Mehdi, an executive at Microsoft's interactive entertainment unit, did not set any sales targets for the new Xbox, even though its existing console is currently the best selling in the United States market.
"We have nothing new to announce other than the price," said Mehdi in an interview.

As this scene opens, we find Tone and JB discussing, what else, white pussy, at an outside restaurant. Luscious brunette Tatianna comes in and can't help but overhear their perverted conversation, so she boldly steps in and wants to hear more. They take her back to their lair and the conversation turns to her and her experiences. Tone pops the question...Have you ever had a black dick in your ass, and one in your pussy at the same time? She gives the perfect answer, sounds like fun! Hearing that, clothes start coming off, and blood begins to boil. Tatianna hits her knees and starts stuffing black dicks in her mouth like it's a hot dog eating contest, and she's the hands down favorite. She bends over to suck one dick, and reveals one of the sweetest asses we've seen in awhile, and they fuck this juicy beauty to get her ready for a sizzling DP. She lets these black snakes probe her holes till their contented, then kneels and lets them take target practice firing their jizz bombs into her sweet mouth!

Spinal Fractures and their Possible Effects
Spinal compression fractures generally result from osteoporosis (low bone density). Over time, our bone-generating cells (osteoblasts) become less effective at producing healthy bone tissue. Other factors, such as poor nutrition and smoking (nicotine, a common chemical in cigarettes, is a bone-growth toxin) also lower bone density as we age. Symptoms of a spinal compression fracture include severe sudden back pain (possibly from spinal nerves that have been abruptly compressed), pain while walking and standing, height loss, and structural deformity along the spinal column.
Normally, spinal compression fractures occur during routine activities like picking up a bag of groceries or slipping on a patch of ice. If you are experiencing sudden, severe back pain as a result of routine activity, it's advised that you seek immediate medical attention (you can be seen by a neurosurgeon or spine surgeon). Your physician will conduct a physical exam designed to narrow the possible causes of your back pain. After the physical exam, it's also likely that imaging tests (X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging MRI ) will be necessary to confirm that a spinal compression fracture has actually occurred. Even if you do not feel back pain, imaging tests may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis, because occasionally spinal compression fractures occur so gradually that patients do not experience any episodes of sharp pain. Other symptoms may arise as the spine shortens due to a loss in height: weight loss due to pressure placed on the stomach, decreased mobility, breathing problems (the lungs may not function properly due to constriction), and hip pain.
Sudden trauma-related fractures (such as from a car accident or sports injury) are more unpredictable and have the potential to be even more serious. Fragments of vertebrae or pieces of the spinal herniated discs may lacerate the spinal nerves within the spinal canal, leading to a loss of sensation, muscle weakness, or paralysis. Physicians also normally order imaging tests for trauma-related spinal fractures due to the extremely sensitive nature of the injuries and the fact that a patient's long-term mobility (or even their survival) may be compromised by a misdiagnosis. For osteoporotic compression fractures, a procedure known as a kyphoplasty may be helpful.
Recovery from spinal compression fractures and trauma-related spinal injuries may require extensive physical therapy and chiropractic treatment, during the post-operative care period. Developing muscles along the spinal column with core strengthening will relieve pressure from compromised spinal discs and re-generating bone tissue. Your physician will order several checkups following your back surgery in order to re-evaluate your progress and make any necessary changes to your course of treatment. The length of the post-operative care period will ultimately be determined by the integrity of the patient's spinal column as well as their mobility and general quality of life.
Physician experts at the Kraus Back and Neck Institute (KBNI) in Houston, TX, have significant experience and expertise in working with patients who have suffered fractures of the spine. Many of these patients will need complex medical care, and many will need to also see a personal injury attorney. After an injury, many patients may be confused as to what to do next, and how to straighten out their situations.
The Kraus Back and Neck Institute (KBNI) in Houston TX takes care of patients in Houston and the surrounding areas, including Sugarland, Woodlands, Katy, Spring, Sealy, Baytown, Pearland, Beaumont, Galleria, Conroe, Humble, Kingwood, Port Arthur, Galveston, Texas Medical Center (TMC) and other Texas TX cities including Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio and Austin

Osteoporosis vs Osteopenia review KBNI Houston
Osteoporosis (low bone density) is a disease that saps bones of their strength by reducing their density, producing a higher incidence of fractures. Since peak bone density usually occurs somewhere around age 25, older adults are at a higher risk for developing osteoporosis and the dangerous fractures that may accompany it. Over time, our osteoblasts (bone-creating cells that generate bone tissue) are gradually reduced relative to our osteoclasts (bone-eating cells that consume old bone tissue). As the balance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts changes, bones become weaker and more prone to fractures and osteoporosis. Osteopenia is weakening of the bone which has not yet progressed to osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis (and osteopenia) has particularly negative repercussions for the spine. As with other key joints in the body, such as the hip joints, the integrity of spinal joints is essential for continued mobility and a high quality of life. Our spinal discs (the shock-absorbing pads between our vertebrae) degenerate naturally over time, and as we grow older our soft tissues (such as the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in the torso which help support the spinal column) become less effective at regeneration post-stress, just like bone tissue. Cartilage on spinal joints also wears down, increasing the likelihood of compressed spinal nerves, nerve pain, and decreased mobility. Low bone density can magnify all of these programs by destabilizing the spinal column.
Fortunately, there are several ways in which the incidence of osteoporosis (and osteopenia) may be reduced. Proper care begins with preventative lifestyle choices: nutritional supplements and a healthy diet will help maintain bone density at near-peak levels. Avoiding smoking is also enormously important, as nicotine has been shown to be highly toxic to bone regeneration, contributing to osteoporosis. Nicotine kills off osteoblasts while leaving osteoclasts intact, which means that the body's natural balance of bone tissue regrowth and bone tissue consumption is thrown out of balance. More bone is consumed than can be regenerated, gradually making bones weaker. Anti gravity exercises and resistance exercises may help strengthen bone, and reduce osteoporosis. It is important to note that for even the short time that astronauts are in a weightless environment in space, they lose bone density. Medications known as bisphosphonates are commonly used to treat osteoporosis. They are commonly known as Fosamax, Actonel, Boniva, Reclast and Zometa. In women, estrogen helps to maintain bone strength. After menopause, estrogen levels drop, and loss of bone density increases, increasing the risk of osteoporosis.
Imaging exams (such as X-rays) will help monitor the progression of osteoporosis so that the most effective course of treatment can be found. Patients can experience compression fractures of the spine, typically in the thoracic or lumbar spine, as a result of osteoporosis. When a compression fracture of the spine occurs, a patient may experience significant pain localized to that area of the spine. A procedure known as a kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty may be used to inject cement into the fractured vertebral body. DEXA scans (dual energy x ray absorptiometry) can show the bone density on a quantitative basis. Results called "T scores" are generated. A T score compares the patient's bone density with that of a healthy young adult. The T score is the number of standard deviations that the patient's T score is above or below that of the healthy young adult. A T score of > -1 is normal. A T score between -1 and -2.5 is considered osteopenia, which is a condition of low bone density which may lead to full osteoporosis. A T score of -2.5 and below indicates osteoporosis. Physicians may recommend structural changes within the home, such as the installation of shower bars and stepping stools for the bedroom.
When compression fractures of the spine occur due to osteoporosis, a kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty may be performed. During kyphoplasty, the spine surgeon places a needle (Jamshidi needle) percutaneously through the skin, through the pedicle of the vertebral level, into the vertebral body which has suffered a compression fracture due to osteoporosis. A kyphoplasty is typically performed bilaterally, which means on both sides of the vertebral body, through the right and left pedicles. A kyphoplasty then involves placing a balloon through the Jamshidi needle, and expanding the balloon to try to expand the portion of the vertebral body which is collapsed as a result of osteoporosis. After the height of the vertebral body is raised, bone cement (methyl methacrylate) is pushed through the Jamshidi needle into the expanded cavity in the bone, under low pressure. The question of what is the difference between kyphoplasty vs vertebroplasty can be answered as follows: during a kyphoplasty, a balloon is used to expand the compression fracture, and the methyl methacrylate cement is instilled into the osteoporosis fracture cavity under a low pressure; during a vertebroplasty, the methyl methacrylate bone cement is pushed through the needles into a nonexpanded compression fracture, under a higher pressure. Depending upon surgeon preference, kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty may be used, with kyphoplasty giving the added advantage of not only strengthening the bone, but trying to restores some of the height of the vertebral body, and lordotic curve of the spine.
Physician experts at the Kraus Back and Neck Institute (KBNI) in Houston, TX, have significant experience in treating osteoporosis and osteopenia as it affects the spine. The neurosurgeons have vast experience in treating spine fractures, both through conservative approaches which may include bracing, and through the surgical approach, often with a kyphoplpasty.

Step by step guide on using existing virtual machines with Vagrant
The error message is shown below:
If you have encountered same problem,this solution may help you.
- Installed vagrant
- Vagrant Instance already added to VirtualBox,Vmware or any other provider you use.
- SSH on Vagrant instance set to start on boot up
Step 1: Generate ssh private and public keys using ssh-keygen command.
My vagrant appliance working directory is : ~/vagrant/centos-asterisk-server. This is the same directory that i will put my private and public keys
mkdir -p ~/vagrant/centos-asterisk-server/.ssh
Generate private/private rsa key pair with ssh-keygen
I will use following settings:
Enter file in which to save the key : /home/josepy/vagrant/centos-asterisk-server/.ssh/id_rsa
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): <Press Enter/Return key>
Enter same passphrase again: <Press Enter/Return key>
It will successfully generate RSA 2048 keys. Remember i didn;t set passphrase ( just pressed enter key)
Step 2: Edit Vagrantfile and specify location of generated private key
vi ~/vagrant/centos-asterisk-server/Vagrantfile
We'll add it just below config.vm.box = "" line.We'll also set "config.ssh.forward_agent" to True.
My username and password that vagrant we'll login in with are the default:
username: vagrant
password: vagrant
If you have different username and password, specify them on Vagrantfile
nano Vagrantfile
Save the changes and quit.
Step 3: Copy rsa public key to vagrant instance. We'll start the Virtual Machine with VirtualBox directly.
Make sure ssh is running and port forwarding is configured. Follow steps below
- Open Oracle VirtualBox ( GUI)
- Right click on the name of Virtual Machine and go to settings > Network > Adapter 1 ( NAT) > Port Forwarding
Make sure SSH port forwarding is set, if not add it by clicking on + sign
