The NFL QB Facebook MNF Aftermath
Peyton is in the driver's seat for MVP
Smothered Chicken!
Not yet. Matt Ryan still is. Eli could make a run at it too. Manning has great stats, but he needs to get comfortably over .500 before you can say that he's in the driver's seat for the MVP. If Denver loses against the Saints this week then they are 3-4. No way could he be the MVP frontrunner if he's on a 3-4 team.
Smothered Chicken!
Let's see what happens this week. If they beat the Saints then I'll really start to like Peyton's MVP chances as I think that will be the start of the Broncos getting comfortably over .500. But if they lose and are 3-4 then I don't think his chances will be very good.
Smothered Chicken!
I personally think Eli is the best player in the NFL, and most valuable. He has the numbers, the performances, and the record to back it up.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
Yeah. The one thing missing on Eli's resume' going into this season was dominating the regular season like say Peyton and Brady have done. That is, playing so great that your team is guaranteed 11+ wins. That's what he's doing so far this season I think. No more sneaking into the playoffs with 9 wins like last year. He needs to have double digit regular seasons for the next few years, and I think he'll do that. If he does that then he'll have an incredible legacy. It's incredible when you put into perspective just how big those 2007 and 2011 playoff runs were.
Peyton isn't close to the MVP. Eli is now the premier Manning QB. Maybe if Denver was 5-1, Peyton could be in consideration. A true MVP doesn't lose games for his team, which is what happened when Denver played Atlanta
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
And they almost won it but yeah I think Eli has outplayed Peyton thus far. But to say Big Bro Manning isn't close is also inaccurate the NFL is so mediocre right now that I think him being in the discussion isn't that hard to believe.
That being said Peyton has played well considering that bad 1st Quarter of that ATL game for someone who's missed a year and had 4 neck surgeries ...
He played worse in early 2008 after his knee operation.
That being said its Matt Ryan's to lose at this point.
Peyton Manning invests in 21 Denver Papa John's pizza shops - ESPN
Peyton Manning to own pizza shops
Updated: October 26, 2012, 5:07 PM ET
Associated Press
DENVER -- Now Broncos fans can call the audibles while Peyton Manning cheers them on.
Pepperoni! No, make that sausage!
Manning became the newest franchisee for Papa John's pizza, signing a deal to own 21 stores in the Denver area Friday, the same day the pizza maker also announced it had signed a multiyear contract to continue as the official pizza of the NFL and the Super Bowl. Terms were not disclosed.
"He's the kind of partner we're looking for, not only in marketing but in business," said Papa John's chief marketing officer, Andrew Varga.
Manning connected with Papa John's for a promotion at the 2011 Super Bowl and has since been featured in commercials with founder and CEO John Schnatter. The most recent ad shows the quarterback goading Schnatter into offering a total of 2 million free pizzas to fans who win weekly drawings, doubling the number of freebies the CEO gave away last year.
During Sunday's game between the Broncos and Saints, Manning will star in a new commercial stating that, as a new franchisee, he, too, now gets to give away free pizzas. He also gives fans information about how to join him in becoming a franchise owner.
"It's a smart investment now and will be long after I'm done playing football," Manning said.
Since Manning is an endorser for Papa John's, it's not clear whether he paid for the 21 franchises or was given them as part of the deal. Manning's marketing agent, Alan Zucker, told ESPN that the particulars of the deal were confidential.
With his quick wit and clean off-the-field reputation, Manning has long been considered one of the top pitchmen in sports. The spoof he did of himself in a send-up of a United Way commercial on "Saturday Night Live" is a classic.
Papa John's has spent the last decade or so solidifying its sports connections. It's the title sponsor of the football stadium at University of Louisville. It also had its name on the college bowl game held in Birmingham, Ala., from 2006-11.
The company signed with the NFL in 2010 and has been expanding the partnership since then.
Now, it has Manning as its No. 1 pitchman.
"The pizza category is fun. Our founder has fun when he gets into the commercials," Varga said. "You throw Peyton into that mix with the NFL platform and it makes it easy to execute lighthearted commercials that are very much in character for both."
Despite that bloody thumb Peyton looks pretty good out there. Although its obvious he's picking his sports they're running the ball more.
Peyton must be so happy to have a run game and a defense that doesn't suck. Good for him, I'm rooting for him all the way this year. Unless they play the Colts in the playoffs *wink wink*
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
The Broncos completely obliterated the Saints. Manning played amazing again. Now he has 17 TDs and 4 picks? Incredible. It's good to see him out there playing great.
Best part was the run-pass balance. You rush forty times for over 200 yards and you're winning a lot of football games. Especially when your defense holds your opponent to about 50 yards rushing the ball.
Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you
The Manning MVP train will be full steam ahead through the rest of the season. Look at how they finish:
@ Cincy, @ Carolina, SD, @ KC, TB, @ Oakland, @ Balt, Cleve, KC.
That is a pretty easy finish. They are 4-3 now and it's not hard to believe that they could finish 12-4.
It is like the old Colts and Edge. Get a lead and then grind it out and kill clock. That is a great running game they have their. That is why they got in the playoffs with Tebow and won a game there last year.... I wonder if Elway will be executive of the year??
Pretty good for a guy several people on this forum thought should have retired and was finished. I guess Elway did not buy the Irsay swill.....
They run the ball to establish it. They run the ball when they have the lead. If they get behind like they did against the Chargers, he will be airing it out....

There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
No, but he was leaking information that Manning had a "noodle arm." There was lots of that. But many here were happy to see him go.... I think they were very foolish and they didn't take into consideration Manning's determination, will and work ethic. While Irsay was releasing information that Manning's arm was still weak, he doctors cleared him to play, he was working out in other areas and people there said he was throwing the ball with some zip....... Irsay had a big public relations nightmare on his hand so he was constantly releasing information to Kravitz and others about Manning's arm not responding to treatment. But, Denver thanks you. They get a potential MVP QB and didn't have to give up any of their talent to get him....We'll see how this deal looks ten years from now. I think it will go down as perhaps the worst management decision in NFL history but we will see..... If Luck does become a star, if he was watching what happened to Manning in Indy, he should not sign a new contract and should move as a free agent to a real contender. I would find that hilarious although I wouldn't like what it would to to the Colts but it is what Irsay deserves.....
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
I didn't think you would like that scenario but it could happen.....

We've spotted the family-of-three doing some shopping and sightseeing in the Big Apple over the last few days. Alyson is in town promoting her latest flick, American Reuinion.
"I love NYC in the spring!," the Buffy alum wrote via Twitter.
She later went on to tweet: "Sati "Mommy I'm wishing!" Me "What for?" Her "I'm wishing I could have a taxi of my own. I could be the driver & you can be the passenger!"
Alyson and Alexis expect their second child this summer.

The toy collecting community was thrown for a loop recently when Diamond Select Toys unveiled their upcoming Marvel Select figure of popular Spider-Man foe Venom. Instead of a decorative display base -- a common accessory to most standard-sized Select figures -- the early 2013 figure will come with a variety of interchangeable parts to re-create several of the anti-hero's more popular looks over the years. With 72 different display configurations, it's the most versatile Select action figure ever made, and each combination of parts is a masterpiece in its own right. The sculptor behind the figure is frequent DST collaborator Jean St. Jean, and he took some time out of his busy sculpting schedule to talk to DST about the method behind the Madness...
DIAMOND SELECT TOYS (DST): Where did you get the idea of sculpting multiple looks for Venom, instead of making a diorama-style base?
JEAN ST. JEAN (JSJ): Chuck (Terceira, director of DST) suggested the idea while were talking about what to do for a base, since we had done the debris base with the exploding symbiote for Anti-Venom. I like breaking outside the established format once in a while just to keep things fresh.
DST: What was the most challenging aspect of this kind of figure?
JSJ: The tough part was deciding what iterations would all work off one body. The best solution was to do the classic body type, which was the really big wrestler-type body, really more of a style-guide Venom, if you compare him to Spidey as originally conceived. Then, as I always do, I make sure he relates to other MS figures and also fits with the range of MS figures Ive done in terms of scale. So, again I refer to the books and see how he should look next to Anti-Venom. So I came up with two sets of normal hands (open and fists), huge transformed claws, the Lethal Protector head version with removable tongue, transforming Eddie Brock head, the Todd McFarlane-style head, and the attachable back enhancement for the Madness version with all the extra arms and heads.
DST: Do you have your own library of Marvel reference at home, or do you rely primarily on the web?
JSJ: I have a ton of stuff. The irony is its easier to go to the comic shop and wipe out a section of trades and graphic novels than sift through my collection for reference, and the internet isnt always the most comprehensive resource. Plus I like to re-read a lot of the old stuff to get my head into the character again while Im working on it, so that theres a logic to my decisions that is directly drawn from canon material.
DST: Which one of the Venom looks do you like the best?
JSJ: Im really happy with the diversity and the way they all turned out, but for some reason I think my favorite is the simplest: the Todd McFarlane one. The bulbous head with the huge creepy grin really grabs me, and I dont think its ever been rendered accurately.
DST: Which was the hardest to interpret?
JSJ: The trickiest was how to make the Madness version work as an articulated accessory piece that was removable. It needed to look good on its own and not affect the other versions of the body when not assembled. Plus, I wanted it to be very functional.
DST: You've brought your own aesthetic to a lot of the figures you've done -- do you enjoy the challenge of interpreting a specific artist's style, like McFarlane?
JSJ: As a lot of people know, I worked for Todd for almost seven years, most of that as his head sculptor, so Ive had pretty extensive experience interpreting his aesthetic. In general though, a comic drawing, as good as it may be, has to be interpreted to make it work as a 3-D sculpt. Also there are areas that, in my opinion, need to be enhanced to make the sculpture more interesting and thats where I fill in the blanks with my own touches. Specifically on the symbiote clan, Ive done Carnage as a statue and Anti-Venom as a figure, and I wanted to differentiate between all their textures when approaching the Eddie Brock Venom.
DST: How do you decide what types of joints to include in a figure? Do you prefer joints that will preserve the integrity of the sculpt, or do you think about poses you want him to hit?
JSJ: Articulation is always a case-by-case basis, but lately Ive been squeezing in as much movement as possible. In this guy we actually switched gears a little, in that no one was really thrilled with the usual MS hip ball joint look, so we decided on the compound hinge which we had used extensively in our Battlestar Galactica figures and was recently used on the Avengers Movie Hulk by Gentle Giant.
DST: Is there another character you'd like to interpret in this format? Mr. Fantastic, Sandman, Iceman, Carnage, etc.?
JSJ: Obviously, Carnage would be awesome to round out the symbiotes in action figure form with my spin on it, but I'd LOVE to do Iceman, we could do something really sick with him.
DST's Marvel Select Venom is scheduled to arrive in January 2013. It's available for pre-order now through BigBadToyStore.com priced at $19.99.

Barmes, brilliant bullpen lead Bucs by Braves
Shortstop's two RBIs, relievers' six scoreless innings key in win
PITTSBURGH -- This is how teams that are going places get there. Anyone can win when the big arm is dealing and the big bats are cranking. But not losing when the game jumps the rails ... well, those are the ones that make you pay attention.
"Sign of a professional team: Find a way to do what you have to do," manager Clint Hurdle said late Sunday afternoon, after his Pirates had been at their make-do best.
The Bucs won on a day that their starting pitcher lasted only three innings and all their RBIs came from the bottom of the lineup.
This may not happen often. But that's exactly what makes it special, and an especially good omen.
They beat Atlanta, 4-2, with Jonathan Sanchez wobbling through three innings and No. 7 hitter Russell Martin driving in one run and No. 8 hitter Clint Barmes driving in two others (another run scored on a wild pitch) against Atlanta righty Kris Medlen (six innings, three earned runs).
Coming out of one of the Majors' statistically best bullpens to cover for Sanchez, Jeanmar Gomez, Justin Wilson, Jared Hughes, Tony Watson and Jason Grilli teamed for six shutout innings as the Bucs finished cooling off the Braves by taking three out of four from them.
That would be the 2012 postseason Braves, as the Pirates also finished off a 7-2 homestand that matched them against two other '12 playoff teams, the Reds and the Cardinals.
Unimpressed by the tough schedule, Hughes said, "We think teams that have to come in here have a tough schedule. This is a new year -- and we consider ourselves a playoff team."
Wilson quelled a threat in the top of the sixth and went 1 1/3 innings for the win -- his first in the Majors. He got both the game ball and the lineup card as keepsakes.
"Pretty cool," said the young lefty. "I'm going to send them home to keep them in a safe place."
The Pirates have 10 total wins -- and this was their third victory in a game in which their starter did not make it through five innings.
"We're ready whenever the phone rings," Wilson said. "It was great that Jeanmar went out and did what he did, and everyone behind me, too."
Even Sanchez did one thing that was great: He pitched out of a jam in the third, which was earlier than Hurdle would have wanted to remove him.
"Jonathan got us to a point where we felt we could manage the game," Hurdle noted. "He wasn't sharp, and by no means is he happy. But everybody threw in something. Everybody got big outs."
Otherwise, Sanchez did not present a convincing case for rotation tenure, laboring through 74 pitches in his three innings. In two starts over 11 days -- around his rained-out start last Tuesday against St. Louis -- he has logged 6 1/3 innings in which he has allowed 12 hits and 11 runs.
He also is on a pitching schedule parallel to that of Francisco Liriano, the other veteran left-hander who made the second of possibly four rehab starts on Saturday night.
Although the damage against Sanchez wasn't nearly as severe as Arizona's nine-run assault on April 10, the lefty again was under constant threat.
A one-out walk in the first to Ramiro Pena was erased on a strike-out-throw-out double play, but the Braves took a 2-0 lead on four consecutive hard-hit singles in the second, the last two hits run-producing ones by Gerald Laird and Andrelton Simmons.
After the Bucs neutralized that in the bottom of the inning, with Martin doubling for a run and scoring on Barmes' single, Sanchez had to work around a pair of walks in the third to keep the game tied.
He couldn't, however, keep himself in the game. Gomez took over in the fourth. In addition to the three walks, Sanchez had a trio of other three-ball counts to inflate his pitch total.
The same man who created that 2-2 tie broke it four innings later -- Barmes' up-the-middle single with two outs in the sixth scored Neil Walker, who had begun the inning with a single and advanced to third on an outfield fly and infield grounder. Barmes' dribbler was gloved by the shortstop Simmons, but he couldn't get anything on an off-balance throw to first.
"It was great to get that first one out of the way," said Barmes, 0-for-15 prior to his two-strike opposite-field liner off Medlen. "Just to find a hole was a pretty good feeling."
Departing for Philadelphia and the start of a 10-game road trip with nine wins in their last 12 games was a definite feel-good vibe.
"We're capable of playing very good baseball," Hurdle said, putting a bow on the homestand, "and we just did that on this homestand. And we took on a [Braves] pitching staff that was hot and a lineup that was hot. This series, we beat them."
Atlanta touched down in Pittsburgh on Thursday with a staff ERA of 1.77 and a team total of 25 homers in 14 games, both Major League bests. They moved on with an ERA of 2.36 and without a home run in three straight games.
"It's good to beat good teams," said Hurdle.

This watercolor print is very similar to a famous picture I believe was taken by Sports Illustrated photographer Roger Riger early in the sudden death overtime of the 1958 NFL Championship game. The game many refer to as "the greatest game ever played". In addition to the game scene, there is a large Johnny Unitas headshot in the background as well as a printed signature saying "Sincerely Johnny Unitas". A couple of weird things about the picture (in my opinion) are the absence of the Baltimore Colts logo on the helmet and the NY Giants uniforms look like SF 49ers uniforms to me. I guess even then the NFL controlled any duplication? The print is about 17" x 20" and is printed on a thick paper stock and is in excellent condition. It is signed by an artist but it is difficult to read. I can make out "Frank S_ _ _ _er". The other letters could be R or K, I, N and/or D. The copyright on the print reads "Copyright 1968 Jack Webb Corporation Bondville, Vermont o5340".
I've had the print for at least 20 years. I had it matted and framed about 5 years ago and had them also add my 1969 Topps #25 Johnny Unitas card in the lower left to make a nice display.
I grew up a Baltimore Colts fan so I really love this picture but I'm wondering if anyone knows anything else about the print itself. It seems unique to me and I've had trouble tracking down the artist or the printer. Any additional information or comments wold be appreciated.

Last week I posted the video interview between MakeItWork and Saurik, aka Jay Freeman. He quickly showed off an jailbroken iPhone 4 and ideally the video was to promote the radio show to follow.
Today we have video footage courtesy of MakeItWork of the interview they had promoted in the first part. The video aired yesterday, July 24th. Saurik discusses the history of jailbreaking and the upcoming jailbreak by @comex.

Research in Slow Motion
When I heard several brokerage houses upgraded Research In Motion (RIMM), I almost lost my lunch. The stock is up 93% from its 52-week low mostly on positive comments and a legendary short squeeze (over 20% of the float is short). But is the stock really a buy or is it just a short-term trade that you probably already missed?
If you take a look at the second fiscal quarter that RIM reported late September, it's clear the company has a lot more work to do. Revenue was down 31% year over year to $2.9 billion. The company shipped 7.4 million BlackBerry smartphones and 130,000 BlackBerry PlayBook tablets. By comparison, Apple (APPL) sold 26.9 million iPhones and 14 million iPads. Apple posted quarterly revenue of $36 billion, up 27.2%. In fact, Apple had four times more profit in the quarter than RIM had revenue. Ouch!

The Emmy nominations came out this morning, and there are, as usual, lots of gays in the mix.
The most obvious is the continued domination of Modern Family in the comedy category. Last year's winner for best comedy series was nominated again for that, as well as the entire adult cast (pictured) in supporting categories, including out actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who plays half of a gay couple with straight actor Eric Stonestreet. Also up for best comedy series at the very gay (or gay-friendly) Glee (from gay creator Ryan Murphy), The Office, The Big Bang Theory, Parks and Recreation and 30 Rock. The Modern Family men will be up against Chris Colfer, so touching as Kurt, on Glee. Big Bang's out actor Jim Parsons competes with his castmate Johnny Galecki and prior winner Alec Baldwin of 30 Rock.
Last year's winner for supporting actress in a comedy, out actress Jane Lynch from Glee, is nominated again, alongside Modern Family's Sofia Vergara and Julie Bowen, Jane Krakowski (30 Rock), Betty White (Hot in Cleveland) and Kristen Wiig (SNL). Archie Panjabi, who won supporting actress in a drama last year for The Good Wife playing a bisexual lawyer, is also up again, going against Christina Hendricks from Mad Men.
There were big nominations for Emmy (and gay) favorites Mad Men and Dexter, and some real love for the Texas-filmed series Friday Night Lights, which finishes its series run tomorrow on NBC. The cult hit The Killing got several nominations, but best drama series was not among them.
Kathy Griffin's My Life on the D List was nominated for reality series, with gay hits American Idol, Top Chef, Project Runway, So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing with the Stars are up for reality competition. Gay-ish comedy shows The Colbert Report and The Daily Show are frontrunners for variety/comedy series.

THE family of a Nelson man killed in Australia have said they are no closer to discovering when his body will be returned to the UK.
Ex-soldier Scott Thompson, 27, died when a quad bike he was riding was hit by a truck in Bungador, Victoria, on Tuesday.
His girlfriend, Sami Allott, and travelling pal Ryan Monk formally identified his body on Thursday.
Mr Thompson's mum, Lynne, said: "Hopefully it will be this week we can bring him home and then we can start preparing for his funeral. We have still only had one message from the Foreign Office so we're relying on Sami and Ryan to keep us up to date.
"Ryan lives out there permanently but they are both planning to come back with Scott."
Miss Allott, who had been dating Mr Thompson since 2011, posted a message on Facebook after she had identified his body.
She said: "I've been to see my beautiful boy and he is at peace with the angels. I gave him a goodnight kiss but hoped he'd sneakily wake up.
"I can't thank everyone enough for their kind words! He really was one in a million and I have never and will never meet anyone so perfect as him.
"I would not have got through this without Ryan Monk. He's been my rock and Scott will be so proud of him.
"Just rest assured he had the best last months of his life before it was cruelly taken."
Mr Thompson, of Sansbury Crescent, Nelson, served in the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment from 2010 to 2013.
A statement from the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment Association said: "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Kingsman Scott Thompson."

Constructive critique helping Lambo thrive at first
BRADENTON, Fla. -- Andrew Lambo continues to play an impressive first base for an outfielder. And why shouldn't he, said his manager, who is unwilling to give Lambo a pass for the slightest indiscretion.
"He's played first base before. That's what a lot of people seem to lose sight of," Clint Hurdle said. "The move, the feel for the bag, the footwork ... it's just a matter now of getting game-speed repetitions."
Lambo's latest moment of note came in the third inning of the Bucs' 7-6 victory over Boston on Monday: With a man on first and none out, former Pirates infielder Brock Holt ripped a hard grounder to Lambo, who whipped the throw to second to force the runner -- then appeared to show impressive instincts by being right in the spot shortstop Clint Barmes' errant relay throw ended up.
Hold the praise, said Hurdle, pointing out that Lambo's own feed to second had caused Barmes' wide return.
"A firmer throw to second might get a return throw for the double play," Hurdle said. "He could've finished the throw more effectively to second to set up the return throw."
Lambo did not disagree, saying he was in the flight path of the wild relay because he could see his own toss leading Barmes across the second-base bag.

Ubisoft has unveiled a new online open world RPG based in the Tom Clancy universe called The Division.
The title is in development at Ubisoft Massive, which the publisher acquired in 2008. The studio has been at work on the game since 2009.
The game will take place in a persistent online world, and can be played in single player or as a multiplayer. Massive MD David Polfeldt said however that the game experience would be better if players teamed up with others.
"To me all the interesting things happen because you're in a place with other players as well," he said.
As well as appearing on next-gen consoles, the title will also have a companion app released on mobile. In the mobile app, users can interact with console players by taking control of a drone, which can provide air surveillance to help console game players form new strategies to take on their enemies.
Mobile game players can also gradually level up their drone with better equipment and weapons that will have a direct effect on the console experience.
Speaking to Develop, Polfeldt said that Massive wanted to create a "meaningful" experience on mobile, rather than just a typical companion up that had no effect on the main game.
"One of the challenges we were interested in was creating a companion game," he said.
"To me, many of the companion games are mostly gimmicks, they prove that I can connect my device to your device, and after five minutes you're like, but is it meaningful, apart from the fact that it's connected?
"One of my fears with this E3 is that we'll see a lot of gimmicky companion games and gimmicky announcements that are like 'wow, everything is connected'. And then your [reaction is] 'so what?'
"So we decided to create a companion game and we set this challenge for ourselves that it needs to be really meaningful and fun for the person on the pad, and really meaningful and helpful for the people on the HD experience."
Story originally published on Develop.

NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- Even though most Americans filed their taxes weeks ago and have by now kicked back to wait on their refund check, many will spend the next week scrambling to gather the documents they need before that all-important April 15 deadline. Thankfully, most businesses and investment firms are diligent when it comes to sending out the appropriate W-2 and 1099 forms, but other essential documents may need to be requested, such as those reflecting mortgage and tuition payments.
We checked in with the experts to find the most important tax documents you'll need to find now, and what to do when you -- or a former employer -- can't find them in time. Documents you need now: Your Social Security card/number
Although this number is probably something you learned by heart in elementary school, if you have any doubt, keep your card handy. "Your Social Security number is used as your taxpayer identification when filing a return," says H&R Block ( HRB) senior tax preparer Riley Holmes. "Social Security cards are used to verify the spelling of the individual's name as well as their SSN itself so the return matches their IRS master file and processes smoothly," says Jackson Hewitt Chief Tax Officer Mark Steber. If you need a cheat sheet and can't find your card, your Social Security number will also appear on the W-2 from your employer. Salary documentation (W-2)
"Your W-2 is the key form, and you'll need one from each employer you worked for during the past year," says Paul Golden, spokesman for the National Endowment for Financial Education. "Your W-2 shows how much money you made, how much income tax was withheld, Social Security and Medicare taxes paid and any benefit contributions -- retirement plans, medical accounts and child care reimbursement plans," Golden says.
If you held more than one job during the past year, making sure you have W-2s from all your employers is imperative, Steber says. "If you leave any income items off your return and IRS catches it -- and they will -- then you will face penalties, interest and other issues," Steber says.

ROGER Deane went into The Merlin for a quiet pint of ale yesterday afternoon and came away £50 better off.
The lifelong Swindon Town fan, who is currently studying a foundation degree in criminology and criminal justice with the University of the West of England, had popped into the Drove Road pub after a morning of library research.
The last thing he expected was to be collared by William Hill's Rupert Adams, who worked his way out from the town centre to find the first person he could in a Town or England shirt.
Roger, 63, of Berenger Close in Old Town, proved to be that lucky person, and he was presented by Rupert with a free £50 bet as a part of the bookmaker's World Cup tour of the country.
"It was utter surprise," said Roger. "I was absolutely stunned. Normally I would be doing something with England at the World Cup, but now someone's done it for me.
"It's super. I'm very grateful to William Hill. I was in the library all morning, researching things for this afternoon.
"I came in for a quiet pint and couldn't believe it when they wanted to give me £50. My response was: 'That's better than a kick in the head'."
Research carried out by William Hill in Swindon recently showed just one per cent of England fans in the town would bet on the Three Lions to lift the trophy next month.
Roger goes against the grain. He said he would be sure to have a bet on his nation achieving immortality, and can never bet against the team he supports.
"I have to do something on England. I will probably cover it with something else. I'm the same with Swindon Town.
"I can't bet against my own team.
"My old man would strike me down from up there, sending a thunderbolt or something, if he knew I had bet against England or Swindon.
"If I weren't to go with England, I would have to go with one of the two Spanish-speaking nations: Spain or Argentina.
"I don't fancy Brazil. They have got too many European superstars that won't gel."
Rupert said: "The reality is, you can do all kinds of online competitions and give away free bets, but we have a feeling they are dominated by professional gamblers.
"We wanted to get to fans on the street and have them benefit from our round of World Cup promos, so we went out and tried to find the first fan we could in England colours or the home town's colours.
"We are going to 32 cities and towns across the country, one of which was Swindon."

Firefighters are preparing to return to the picket line this weekend, as they prepare for a further strike, nine days after the longest walkout of their long-running dispute.
Members of the Fire Brigades Union will strike from 10am to 5pm on Saturday, as part of a continued protest over proposed changes to their pension and conditions.
Full-time firefighters in Chippenham, and part-time retained officers in Pewsey and Calne will take part in the national protest, with back-up provided from alternative crews across the country, and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service has warned the public to take extra care on Saturday.
Last Thursday firefighters completed their first 24-hour strike, which saw relief crews called to 20 incidents across the county, among these a car fire on the M4, a fire at a waste compactor in Royal Wootton Bassett, a tent fire in woods near Chippenham and a care worker locked out of a building in Marlborough, as well as two false alarms.

That is probably a very good....offensive lineup. But I don't think they're going to stop too many people from scoring either lol
I mentioned this in one of the threads before the Pacers played the Warriors in Oakland....but that lineup is very efficient at scoring while making very few mistakes. Mark Jackson uses that lineup to close out games with Draymond Green subbing in for Landry ( depending on the matchups ).
That's why I have suggested that if Lance doesn't work out as Backup PG....that the Pacers should do what they can to make a run at Jarrett Jack and Carl Landry.....both are VERY solid off the bench and one of the main reasons why the Warriors are doing so well. Once Bogut comes back....they will be 7 deep with a decent bench to fill out the rotation.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Nash on Steph Curry. This should be fun.
Really happy to see Lin stringing together a few really good games. I hope it continues.
we should call PHX about JO and Telfair they would both help the 2nd unit. Must be nice PHX can take old washed up guys on 1 year deals and get them back in playing shape. If I was their GM I would sign guys like Redd and JO every year and just flip them at the deadline for a pick. I don't get why they always hold on to those old guys on a rebuilding team.
Did the thunders trade the wrong guy now? Harden could play the point guard role.
Kobe is killing the Lakers right now.
And their defense is completely dependent on Dwight.
like I siad then when you have 3 great post players it's idiotic to RnG. This Lakers team would be a perfect Triangle team I just dont get why they didnt hire Phi. It will likely cost them a chance at a championship. .
and please all the people saying Nash doesn't fit in the triangle is lol. Nash is 38 at this stage of his career he isn't a guy you can build a team around and win Howard and Kobe are.
Jarret Jack is running circles around Nash.
Kobe has been awful defensively since Dantoine took over. It has to be Dantoine every where he goes his players don't defend.
pau gasol just shot a three
Kobe was already pretty bad defensively.
Ice in his veins
so clutch in the 4th this year
D'Antoni's teams have always been average defensively (statistically).
He's a system coach, and although there's some problems with his system, that's not the issue with the Lakers. The issue, is that they are old. D'Antoni preaches taking the first open shot. Not jacking up a shot every time you touch the ball. which is what is confusing the Lakers at the moment. This leads to worse defense because the Lakers are old...and they are missing...and they can't play transition defense.
I liked the signing, because I like D'Antoni, and I don't think you sign Steve Nash to play him off the ball. But considering the ages and lack of shooters..I'm not sure it's going to work.
wow what a game
wow breakdown after break down for the Lakers in the final few minutes. Barnes and Jack have been great and Lee is so solid.
Gotta love the crowd you can feel the energy through the TV
this game has been amazing
Why is Nash in the game when they just need a stop??
I love Jarrett Jack been amazing this game and year!!
terrible decision there to have that personal in for defense still
Lakers have the final shot
The offense looks better with Pau in. Probably because he doesn't jack up a shot every time he touches the ball. (One of 3 players...Nash, Howard, and Pau..)
edit: wow, Kobe ended up shooting 40% for the game...he also shot the ball over 40 times. I'm a Kobe fan...but sheesh, that was a little unnecessary. (And I know, it had a lot to do with him being extremely frustrated that he wasn't getting calls, and it was pretty ridiculous that he didn't shoot a free throw...but still...)

Rookies lol
Festus you had Klay wide open for a 3 I guess Pau was wide open too but he doesn't play for your team
great game though besides Kobe being extra Ball hog ish. One of the worst games ive seen him play while scoring 30+.
woah what a game! Don't really agree with Festus being out there in crunch time, that allowed Dwight to stay on the floor with 5 fouls and not have to worry about guarding anybody.
Shaun Livingston and Earl Barron cut lose by Washington, any interest?
I'd still be interested, but I don't think he can shoot the 3.
Pacers need to trade for a halfcourt point guard that can shoot the 3. That's why DJ isn't working out...he's just not a good fit for this offense.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
After denying fans a chance at a free cheeseburger, 76ers coach Doug Collins promises to pay for 18,000 fans free sandwiches
By Kelly Dwyer | Ball Don't Lie 18 hours ago
Doug Collins points out that 'secret sauce' is really just Thousand Island dressing (Getty Images)
On Friday night Philadelphia 76ers coach Doug Collins defiantly thumbed his nose at one of our least-favorite NBA traditions the fast food earning ticket giveaways that teams usually provide to fans if the home team scores over 100 points.
With nine of the NBAs 30 teams averaging over 100 points a contest, a number sure to rise as the NBA typically improves offensively as the season moves on, its not exactly a marvel when teams hit triple-digits. And yet several NBA teams offer a take on this promotion, which leaves teams in the tricky and often embarrassing situation of having to score needless points at the end of either safe wins or blowout losses in order to satisfy the home crowds craving for something theyre usually embarrassed to eat. With his Sixers already up 99-80 over the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday, Collins demanded guard Evan Turner dribble out the clock so not to show up their opponent, and the always on-point Philadelphia crowd responded with boos.
[Related: NYC DJs trolled Kris Humphries with Kanye West songs]
Not willing to quit while he was ahead, though, Collins told the public address announcer that hed make up for it out of pocket. From the Associated Press Dan Gelston, via several previous outfits:
Doug Collins has always come off as the sort of basketball type that sticks to his principles, so the move to ask Turner to eat the possession, so to speak, makes sense.
Paying for the fast food burger himself? As other outlets have noted, this would cost Collins well over $72,000, while providing the Sixers with the lamest logistical nightmare on record tracking down thousands of petulant fans who feel as if the home town teams blowout win is somewhat invalidated because they didnt get a free 600 calories to chomp down upon.
Theres so much fault to go around here that its hard to ponder as to where to start. Collins has always readily worn his emotions on his sleeve, so the push/pull of both not taking a needless shot at the end of an assured win and disappointing his teams fans was likely just as strong on both sides, which is why he reacted the way he did.
Secondly, theres Jason Richardson a player that missed both of his free throws in the win. Lets get it together, J-Rich.
Third, there are the fans.
Yes, the people that make it all possible. The people amongst those 18,000 attending who care more about that burger than that win, or that expertly-executed Collins-styled out of bounds play from the third quarter. Honestly, look at some of the older kids in this clip getting an expensive 76ers jersey, a seat in the lower bowl thousands of any age could never well afford, and seeing your team take its opponent behind the shed wasnt enough? You have to get a free burger?
I didnt go to a ton of pro-level sports events growing up, but I know what its like to be the brat. I wanted nachos. I looked lustily at that rack full of 26 Major League Baseball hats for sale. I wanted some more nachos. I get it. Standing with arms wide-open as your team defies what youve rightfully earned? Grabbing a towel a player is using without asking? Come on, kids. More importantly, as one myself, come on parents.
Lastly, come on teams.
[Also: Kings suspend DeMarcus Cousins indefinitely]
Other organizations, such as the Chicago Bulls, have willfully acted brain dead on this issue for years, not caring a lick as its prideful and defensive-minded players are routinely booed by fans (that ones in attendance that know the names of only a few of those prideful, defensive-minded players) when the team fails to score 100 points. Sick of it all, its why Joakim Noah attempted a needless three-pointer at the end of a win over Orlando earlier this season and was widely criticized for acting in a situation he couldnt possibly win. Sportsmanship, yeah, but it stinks to be booed after dominating a blowout win that saw you contribute 20 points and nine rebounds (even if Noah shouldnt have been on the court at the end of that blowout).
The 76ers are more pro-active than Chicago, as one of their owners often converses with fans on Twitter. He sees the complaints, and he knows the game. Give burgers out all you want but pair them with defensive benchmarks, instead of that uncreative 100-point barrier. NBA teams have to stop pushing their players and coaches into this position a position that needlessly reminds them that even after two and a half hours of hard work, theyre more often regarded as entertainers instead of athletes.
Or fast-food deliverymen.
None of this helps Collins, though, who is on the hook for probably the heftiest fast food dinner in modern history, non-recreational drug use cases aside.

Goodlatte-Scott Bill Protects Dairy Farmers without Punishing Them
Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio dairy farmer members of the Dairy Policy Action Coalition are reaffirming their support for bipartisan compromise dairy reform legislation offered today by Reps. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) and David Scott (D-GA). The bill would offer dairy farmers a new milk insurance package almost identical to the Dairy Security Act included in failed Farm Bill attempts but without a controversial milk supply management program.
Called the Dairy Market Stabilization program, the proposal would have tied margin insurance protection, desperately needed by dairy farmers, to government-mandated limits on milk production through new government regulations.
"Dairy farmers are in full support of much needed dairy policy reform in the next farm bill, said George Mueller, a Clifton Springs, NY dairy farmer, "but we do not want to be told how to run our businesses. The Dairy Market Stabilization Program makes supply management mandatory if you want to participate in a margin insurance program. This alternative proposal will allow US dairy farmers access to margin insurance to grow their business in a free market and to be a reliable supplier to the growing global population."
Goodlatte-Scott is a bipartisan proposal that would offer dairy farmers a new milk insurance package without the controversial milk supply management program. It is expected to be discussed as part of the upcoming Farm Bill in the House Agriculture Committee.
Alan Kozak, a Millersburg, Ohio dairy farmer who has been outspoken in his opposition to supply management, said at a recent press conference, "Participation in the supply management program could be a financial disaster for my farm. The monthly production on our farm is somewhat variable because it is influenced by weather, calving patterns and timing of cattle sales. The folks in Washington need to know you can't turn milk on and off like the faucet at the kitchen sink and even if we could control the domestic supply, our prices are significantly affected by the global dairy market. The milk supply management program has and will continue to create volatility if not eliminated from the Farm Bill. We need a risk management tool like margin insurance as a safety net but we need to let the market take care of supply and demand and keep the government out of it. Margin insurance as a risk management tool would be valuable for our business but not if it means we have to submit to production controls".
Dale Hoffman, a dairy farmer from Shinglehouse, Potter County, Pennsylvania, at the same press conference said, "There seems to be a growing gap between the producers and the cooperatives that represent us as well as the policymakers in Washington. I agree with eliminating the Dairy Price Support Program and trading MILC in for a margin insurance product for a safety net. I do not agree with making supply management mandatory in order to access margin insurance. "
The Dairy Policy Action Coalition (DPAC) is a coalition of grassroots dairy producers actively participating, with a unified voice, on policies and issues affecting milk pricing.

WICKED Goes On Sale 4/4 in Columbus
After breaking Columbus box office records in 2007 and 2010, WICKED, Broadway's biggest blockbuster, will return to the Ohio Theatre June 5-23. Tickets for the return engagement will go on sale to the public at 9am on Thursday, April 4.
With music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin, Academy Award-winner for Pocahontas and The Prince of Egypt) and book by Winnie Holzman ("My So Called Life," "Once And Again" and "thirtysomething"), WICKED, the untold story of the witches of Oz, is directed by two-time Tony Award winner Joe Mantello (Take Me Out, Love! Valour! Compassion!, The Vagina Monologues) and features musical staging by Tony Award winner Wayne Cilento (Aida, The Who's Tommy, How To Succeed...).
"We are thrilled to have WICKED returning to Columbus," stated CAPA CEO Bill Conner. "The positive economic impact it has on this city and the extraordinary quality of the production make it a win-win for this community."
Based on the best-selling 1995 novel by Gregory Maguire, WICKED, winner of 35 major awards including a Grammy and three Tony Awards, is the untold story of the witches of Oz. It is produced by Marc Platt, Universal Pictures, The Araca Group, Jon B. Platt, and David Stone.
Long before Dorothy drops in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz. One - born with emerald-green skin - is smart, fiery, and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious, and very popular. WICKED tells the story of their remarkable odyssey, and how these two unlikely friends grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good.
WICKED has "cast quite a spell" (Washington Post) throughout North America, breaking box office records in every city it has played, including Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, DC, Philadelphia, and Boston to name a few.

Sorry the names of either escape me right now, but I've got a bus to catch soon!
In fact, I'll take it on the train today and try to find it for you...
In the same way, monks, those things that I have known with direct knowledge but have not taught are far more numerous [than what I have taught]. And why haven't I taught them? Because they are not connected with the goal, do not relate to the rudiments of the holy life, and do not lead to disenchantment, to dispassion, to cessation, to calm, to direct knowledge, to self-awakening, to Unbinding. That is why I have not taught them.
retrofuturist wrote:* The absence of reference to the Abhidhamma Pitaka prior to the 3rd Buddhist Council, 294 years after the Buddha's parinibbanaIn the same way, monks, those things that I have known with direct knowledge but have not taught are far more numerous [than what I have taught]. And why haven't I taught them?

That is why I have not taught them.
Tradition[3] says that the Buddha thought the Abhidhamma out immediately after his enlightenment, but only taught it some years later, to the gods. He then repeated it to Sariputta, who handed it on to his disciples. This tradition is also evident in the Parivara, a very late addition to the Vinaya Pitaka[4], which mentions in a concluding verse of praise to the Buddha that this best of creatures, the lion, taught the three pitakas.[5].
Scholars however generally date the Abhidhamma works to around the third century BCE, 100 to 200 years after the death of the Buddha. Therefore the seven Abhidhamma works are generally claimed by scholars not to represent the words of the Buddha himself, but those of disciples and great scholars[6]. Dr Rupert Gethin however said that important elements of abhidhamma methodology probably go back to the Buddha's lifetime[7]. A. K. Warder and Dr Peter Harvey both suggested early dates for the matikas on which most of the Abidhamma books are based. Abhidhamma started out as elaboration of the suttas,[dubious – discuss] but later developed independent doctrines[8] .
As the last major division of the canon, the Abhidhamma Pitaka has had a checkered history. It was not accepted as canonical by the Mahasanghika school[dubious – discuss][1][9] and several other schools[dubious – discuss][10]. Another school included most of the Khuddaka Nikaya within the Abhidhamma Pitaka[1]. Also, the Pali version of the Abhidhamma is a strictly Theravada collection, and has little in common with the Abhidhamma works recognized by other Buddhist schools[11]. The various Abhidhamma philosophies of the various early schools have no agreement on doctrine[12] and belong to the period of 'Divided Buddhism'[12] (as opposed to Undivided Buddhism). The earliest texts of the Pali Canon have no mention of (the texts of) the Abhidhamma Pitaka[13]. The Abhidhamma is also not mentioned in some reports of the First Buddhist Council, which do mention the existence of the texts of the Vinaya and either the five Nikayas[14] or the four Agamas[15]. Other accounts do include the Abhidhamma.[16]
In the Theravadin Abhidhamma Pitaka, unlike the Abhidharma Pitaka of the Sarvastivada school, ontological theorizing is absent, and the question of ontological status of dharmas remains a moot point. The notion of sabhava (Sanskrit: svabhava) is only utilized in late Theravadin texts.[17] The doctrine of momentariness is also a late addition to Theravada thought.[18] It only appears at the time of Buddhaghosa.[19]
Chris wrote:Parts of the Abhidhamma were recited at the earlier Buddhist Councils, and, at the Third Council it became fixed into its present form when the Katthavatthu was added.
Guide Through the Abdhidhamma Pitaka, by Nyanatiloka Mahathera (Kandy: Buddhist Publication Society, 1983), p xi.
Although modern critical scholarship attempts to explain the formation of the Abhdihamma by a gradual evolutionary process, Theravada orthodoxy assigns its genesis to the Buddha himself. According to the Great Commentary (maha-atthakatha) quoted by Acariya Buddhaghosa, "What is known as Abhidhamma is not the province nor the sphere of a disciple: it is the province, the sphere of the Buddhas". (Asl 410; Expos., p.519)
The commentarial tradition holds, moreover, that it was not merely the spirit of the Abhdihamma, but the letter as well, that was already realised and expounded by the Buddha during his lifetime
--CMA, p.9
As you doubtlessly know, the Abhidhammattha Sanghaha translates as "the Compendium of Things contained in the Abhidhamma" (p15). Given your reluctance to accept it as a reference indicative of the teachings of the Abhidhamma Pitaka, do you therefore question that the prominent Abhidhammattha Sanghaha is actually a "compendium of things contained in the Abhidhamma" after all?

Bhikkhu Bodhi, Samyutta Nikaya, pp34-35 wrote:From this way of characterizing the two Nikayas, we might see SN and AN as offering two complementary perspectives on the Dhamma, both inherent in the original teaching. SN opens up to us the profound perspective reached through contemplative insight, where the familiar consensual world of persons and things gives way to the sphere of impersonal conditioned phenomena arising and perishing in accordance with laws of conditionality. This is the perspective on reality that, in the next stage in the evolution of Buddhist thought, will culminate in the Abhidhamma. Indeed, the connection between SN and the Abhidhamma appears to be a close one, and we might even speculate that it was the nonsubstantialist perspective so prominent in SN that directly gave rise to the type of inquiry that crystallized in the Abhidhamma philosophy. The close relationship between the two is especially evident from the second book of the Pali Abhidhamma Pitaka, the Vibhanga, which consists of eighteen treatises each devoted to the analyis of a particular doctrinal topic. Of these eighteen, the first twelve have their counterparts in SN. Since most of these treatises included a "Suttanta Analysis" (suttantabhajaniya) as well as a more technical "Abhidhamma Analysis" (abhidhammabhajinaya), it is conceivable that the Suttanta Analyses of the Vibhanga were the primordial seeds of the Abhidhamma and that it was among the specialists in SN that the idea arose of devising a more technical expository system which eventually came to be called the Abhidhamma.

A proposed 5,300-animal, 7,000-acre dairy overcame a major legal hurdle on Thursday, but more challenges remain.
A judge ruled in favor of the Wysocki Family of Cos., who plan to build the Golden Sands Dairy in Saratoga, Wis. According to the Marshfield News Herald, the city's leaders opposed the plan and initially refused to issue building permits.
After the ruling, the Saratoga building inspector has been ordered to issue permits for the dairy.
There are other potential challenges ahead, including the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources' approval process.

City leaders aren't the only ones expressing concern. The Associated Press reports that in March, nearly 250 people expressed concern about the dairy potentially compromising the quality and quantity of the Saratoga water supply. Read more.

Strasburg stays focused as Opening Day nears
VIERA, Fla. -- A day after being named the Opening Day starter, Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg pitched five shutout innings and struck out five in an 8-1 victory over the Tigers at Space Coast Stadium.
Strasburg was able to hold runners in the game and it allowed catcher Wilson Ramos to throw out Nick Castellanos in the second inning. One of Strasburg's biggest goals this spring is to hold runners better than he has in the past. Last season, Nationals pitchers allowed baserunners to steal at a very high rate.
The biggest adjustment for Strasburg will be to realize how far off the bag the runners are. He wants to identify the leads.
"Before, I really didn't have an idea where [the runners] were," Strasburg said. "I think the fact that I didn't know sped up [my delivery] a lot. I felt like I could be quicker to home plate, then they started getting running leads and just started stealing on my times. I varied my looks, varied my times, look over. It just keeps them honest. That's all I'm really trying to do."
For the spring, Strasburg has allowed one run in 14 innings with 10 strikeouts. With less than two weeks to go, Strasburg wants to build arm strength before he faces the Mets on March 31.
And how does Strasburg feel about being the Opening Day starter for the third year in a row?
"I hope my career isn't reflected on how many Opening Day starts that I have," Strasburg said. "I think there are a lot guys in this rotation that deserve it. I'm just the first one out. I think every game is going to be just as important. The biggest goal as a team is playing in the playoffs. I want to focus on making starts in the playoffs."

A FORTY-year battle by residents to have a path which can help them reach the Great Western Hospital has finally been won.
The surfacing of the path, which stretches from Okebourne Park up to the Sedgebrook roundabout on Liden Drive, was completed just before Christmas.
It was previously just grass and mud, which was effectively unusable during periods of heavy rain and even dangerous if the temperatures dropped to below freezing.
As a result residents were forced to step on to the increasingly busy road.
The problem became worse with the building of the GWH as elderly residents tried to navigate their way along the path.
However, now the flat surface has been fully Tarmacked it is easily walkable and provides a much safer route.
John Macclay, 74, of Sedgebrook, has lived in the area since 1977 and says the new path will make it far easier for people to use.
He said: "Ever since I have lived here it has been a huge problem. When the weather got bad it just became sludge which meant no-one could use it, as they would be ankle deep in mud.
"Instead you would see people walking along the road as they had no other option. It will make it much easier for people who are trying to get to the hospital."
John has spent many years, along with other residents, trying to get something done but after seeing someone struggling in a wheelchair, decided to give it one more try.
He said: "I went along to the surgery of local councillors to raise the problem and explain that something needed to be done.
"I am pleased the issue has now been sorted. There are still problems on the path the other side of Sedgebrook so I hope they can be sorted soon as well."
A drainpipe has been fitted alongside the path which will run into a nearby sewer to prevent a build up of water seen recently in the area.
The path's construction was pushed forward with help from Coun Derique Montaut (Lab, Liden, Eldene and Park South) who says it is good to give residents some positive news.
He said: "When I first became a councillor I was told that this was something which would never get done but the residents never let it go and kept pushing me.
"This is down to their efforts and a good example of the work residents can achieve."
