Senate version of "Fiscal Cliff" legislation includes 12 energy tax extenders; boost for algae
1 January 2013
Among the many extensions specified in the amended version of a House bill (H.R.8) passed by the US Senate on New Year's Day by a vote of 89 - 8 to avoid the across-the-board increase in taxes currently called for by the "fiscal cliff" are a number for energy tax benefits.
The amended bill, now called the "American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012" and next to be considered by the House, contains 12 extensions outlined in Title IV of the bill, ranging from extension of production credits for Indian coal facilities to benefits for alternative fuels (including algal biofuels) and plug-in vehicles. The Sections are:
Credit for energy-efficient existing homes is extended to 31 December 2013.
Credit for alternative fuel vehicle refueling property is extended to 31 December 2013.
Credit for 2- or 3-wheeled plug-in electric vehicles. In the case of a qualified 2- or 3-wheeled plug-in electric vehicle, up to 10% of the cost of the qualified 2- or 3-wheeled plug-in electric vehicle, or $2,500 may be allowed as a credit.
Qualifying 2- or 3-wheel vehicles need a 2.5 kWh pack (down from 4 kWh), are capable of achieving a speed of 45 mph (72 km/h)or greater, and must be acquired after 31 December 2011 and before 1 January 2014.
Extension and modification of cellulosic biofuel producer credit. The extension now carries through to qualified production beginning before 1 January 2014. Algae is treated as a qualified feedstock.
Additionally, the section strikes the term cellulosic biofuel in favor of "second generation biofuel".
Incentives for biodiesel and renewable diesel are extended to 31 December 2013.
Extension of production credit for Indian coal facilities placed in service before 2009 for an 8-year period rather than a 7-year period. The amendment applies to coal produced after 31 December 2012.
Extension and modification of credits with respect to facilities producing energy from certain renewable resources. Among other provisions for municipal solid waste, hydro, and biomass facilities, production tax credits for wind facilities are extended to 1 January 2014.
Credits for energy-efficient new homes are extended to 31 December 2013.
Credits for energy-efficient appliances are extended into 2013.
The special allowance for cellulosic biofuel plant property is extended to 1 January 2014. In addition, algae is treated as a qualified feedstock for such.
The special rule for sales or dispositions to implement FERC or state electric restructuring policy for qualified electric utilities is extended to 1 January 2014.
Alternative fuels excise tax credits are extended to 31 December.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Senate version of "Fiscal Cliff" legislation includes 12 energy tax extenders; boost for algae:
A PTC for new nuclear was established in the 2005 Energy Policy Act which put nuclear on the equal footing with wind and closed-loop biomass.No it didn't. The wind PTC is 2.1¢/kWh for 10 years, with no cap; the nuclear PTC is 1.8¢/kWh for 8 years, capped at $125 million per MW(e) (about 6940 hr/yr, when properly operating plants can run flat-out for over 8700) and also capped at 6000 MW(e) of capacity. That's 5.5 AP1000's, of which 4 are under construction already.
Those production tax credits have been sitting there, waiting.You have to be in production to get a PTC, and the NRC COL process takes 4-5 years before you can break ground.
Radioactive mushroom sprouting has not been observed in the following years.Vogtle units 3 and 4 and Virgil C. Summer units 2 and 3 are rising from the ground. Give nuclear the same PTC or ITC terms that wind gets, streamline the NRC's procedures to go at the AEC's old pace, and remove the cap. You'd see nuclear take over base-load generation from both coal and CCGT. You'd also see the air and water clean up, and a lot fewer issues with pipelines.
Good news on the wind PTC. Apparently the new bill does not require that wind farms be completed by the end of 2013 in order to qualify for funding.
This will eliminate the end of the year scramble to complete and allow companies to keep working while the next round of games are played in Congress.
The details aren't out yet, it's not clear how much of the project must be completed this year and how long after 12/31/13 the project has to complete.
Why not treat Nuke installations prepayment the same as Wind-Solar installations prepayments and than follow up with the same ($0.02/kWh or so) hand outs for energy effectively produced and effectively used.
Both programs should be similarly capped (in time and in $$$) to avoid runaway cost.
Nuke operators should be forced to contribute to a clean fund for (all) used fuel safe disposal.
The common objective (to reduce the use of fossil fuel, pollution and climate changes) could be reached in all fairness?

New Zealand tour
All Blacks line up target man Hobbs
November 26, 2008
Hobbs strikes a more familiar pose behind a microphone in his role as NZRU Chairman © Getty Images
Jock Hobbs stepped back in time on a rugby training paddock today and ended up on his backside as a result.
The New Zealand Rugby Union chairman added a touch of levity to the All Blacks' training session, gamely acting as a virtual tackle bag as the test team went through its paces.
Hobbs, who played 21 tests and 18 matches for the All Blacks between 1983 and 1986, wore a padded suit to dull the impact but he still grimaced when being hit by Ali Williams, Rodney So'oialo and Hikawera Elliot.
The openside flanker, who captained the All Blacks for the fourth and final time in a test when France inflicted a painful 16-3 loss at Nantes in 1986, had a history of concussion issues but thankfully emerged from his role as target practice unscathed.
He showed no signs of distress later in the day when arriving at Tourism New Zealand's giant rugby ball at Tower Bridge for a function where the team met Queen Elizabeth 2 and the Duke of Edinburgh.
Meanwhile, Chiefs coach Ian Foster has also been sighted at training since the team arrived in London. Foster has been involved in the All Blacks environment after watching the test in Wales as part of a off-season break.

When a potentially world-altering scientific discovery from Eureka's past finally comes to light, can anyone be trusted with it? The question is far from rhetorical for Carter: Zoe's life is in immediate danger and Eva Thorne knows why.
Trust is becoming a rare commodity in Eureka. Jo is unsure of her relationship with Zane while Carter and Allison wonder why Eva Thorne (Frances Fisher) is so secretive about the underground bunker. The bodies that were found there are to be shipped out, by Thorne's orders, before Henry can examine them. Thorne has ordered Dr. Hendricks to use his mysterious security system to defend the entire area. Carter hopes a photo from the Cafe Diem collection will supply a clue. Adding to the uncertainty, S.A.R.A.H. suddenly says Zoe is an intruder and cages her, claiming her DNA has been changed. Lexi thinks this proves that having an "intelligent" house is not very intelligent, but Fargo insists S.A.R.A.H. cannot make a mistake.
While Jo and Zane try to find out what Hendricks has put into thousands of remotely triggered canisters, Allison diverts the bodies to Henry's garage where he uncovers something very disturbing about their deaths. He also discovers something Allison may have suspected but certainly did not know. Carter experiments with one of the canisters, accidentally trapping a feuding Jo and Zane at the foot with a super adhesive. When their help is most urgently needed, they are forced to work together - but it is not easy.
What Fargo finds in the Café Diem photo leads Carter to Thorne. When he reveals he's called in General Mansfield, she is rattled. But when he tells her that Zoe was exposed to whatever is in the bunker, she is deeply shaken. As Carter and Thorne form a tentative alliance to save Zoe, Hendricks' canisters activate and seal them in the bunker. Unless Jo and Zane can defeat Dr. Hendricks' bonding agent, Zoe - and all of Eureka - will come to a swift and devastating end.

Since I've grown up in NJ i've only worn 7mm round toe, never owned 3mm or 5mm due to cost. Now, living in Wilmington, i just bought a pair of Rip curl flashbomb 5mm split toe booties, because having warm to the touch booties seemed nice (rip curls new marketing gimmick), 5mm seemed like a good medium for down here (still not in boots, sorry to rub it in), and all i've been hearing as of late is that split toe booties are incredible. My shoe size is 10.5-11 and I wear size 10 xcel booties so i got rip curl in size 10. When I tried them on at the shop I bought along my trusty plastic bag which lets you put a boot on in seconds, and the 10 seemed to fit. I brought back home and tried em on without the bag and it took me like a good 3-5minutes that was a sweaty awkward workout. Hard as hell to get on, and I'm used to getting on xcel, hyperflex, and o'neill 7mm on, and they seemed somewhat small - but the 11 was definitely too big. I figure they will stretch out, but does anyone have any remedies to put on a boot besides the plastic bag (doesnt work well with plastic bags) or shampoo? gracias

Try water based lubricant as sold in the larger squeeze tubes in a CVS. Plus it's perfect for SITS
Dec 5, 2011, 11:54 AM #3
I wear a pair of thin Smartwool snowboard socks under my winter boots. Been doing it for many years.
1. boot slips on and off like butter, saving wear and tear on your boot from all the pulling and stretching.
2. wool retains its insulating properties even when wet.
3. lets you wear the tightest boot possible to keep your foot from slipping around inside a bigger sized boot... more solid footing.
4. you don't have too put any kind of goop or powder in your boot that you have to clean out later.
5. extra warmth lets you get away with 5mm boots instead of 7mm even in North Jersey.
6. knee-high sock gets your foot through the leg of your wetsuit fast and easy, which comes in handy when you're changing into your suit in the parking lot in February.
7. makes it easier on the feet when changing out of your wetsuit in February.
8. they're machine washable.

To the subject at hand: Smartwool or something similar is a great idea, however I'm not too sure how well they will work with split-toes because you will have to make a crease in the sock between your big toe and whatever you call that other one right next to it. Might take a little practice to get it comfortable without binding your toes.
One thing I do is turn the bootie almost inside-out so you can get your toes in then peel it back over your feet. You know, kind of like one of those things you should use for the aforementioned SITS if you aren't ready to produce little Gnar's.

baby powder
As long as your boots are dry, this is the best thing available; trust me. I learned of this trick while competing in triathlon. See in triathlon, youre not just racing swim-bike-run, but also, your transitions. An old local surfer said to me at a triathlon years ago, can I borrow your baby powder? I said, WTF? He laughed as he then new that I didnt know. So, he showed me the trick and I was hooked. He then said, What do you use in your winter booties for surfing. I just laughed and drove straight to CVS. I keep some at home, in my car, in my shed, in my tool box, etc. It always seems to work in places that I wouldnt expect.
This year I upgraded to a medicated version to keep the stink out of my booties. It works even better. I use the CVS medicated version. I squirt in 3 little blasts, shake, and then dump the extra out. Boots slips on and helps keep the funk down (I still wash my gear with hot water after every session). You can also use baby powder inside your wetsuit to help sneak into; though I do not.

hot socks man, they make life a lot easier, and keep your feet nice and warm. Best thing from hyperflex i have ever gotten.
I have the same boots, last years model, picked em up Friday and also had trouble getting them on. I found a pretty easy trick to getting this put in particular on easily. get your foot in there as far as you can without ripping it. Grab the loop that is farthest down on the bottom near the heel and pull it up and the boot should slip right on.
I thought they were tight too (tighter than other size 9 boots I own) hopefully they will stretch out a lil.
Dec 5, 2011, 03:54 PM #9
Those hyperflex socks look killer... but the price stings a little.
As far as any kind of lube goes, I hate my foot sliding around inside my boot, so that would not be my personal choice.

A quiet birthday with the kids – not!
Last week my grandson Adam turned four. My brother Warren and I were invited to a low-key birthday celebration at daycare, which we happily attended. (I cannot believe I just used the term "low-key" for an activity involving a herd of exuberant four-year-olds and three boxes of orange cream-sicles.)
Following Adam's small celebration, I went upstairs to visit his wee sister Abby, leaving my brother comfortably seated in a big wing chair, with a suggestion that he'd probably enjoy watching the kids play until I came back for him. (I wasn't sure that would prove to be the case, but I figured as long as he stayed in the chair, he'd be safe.)
I returned from a sing-along in Abby's classroom a bit later than I had planned – she was sitting on my lap, and I couldn't bear to leave her.
I ran back to Adam's room, concerned about the brother I had abandoned there. Was Warren anxiously awaiting my return? Nope. Warren still sat in the wing chair, but four or five little kids sat on his lap and on the chair arms, enthralled, while he read to them. As he stood to leave, one girl lamented to her teacher, "I don't want that man to go." Very sweet.
But here I've used half my space telling you about the "low-key birthday celebration at daycare"—when the "Main Event Birthday Bash" occurred Sunday. Three daycare families with four-year-old Birthday Boys planned a party at the West Seattle YMCA. My daughter invited me to come "help" – I think I was the only grandma present.
The party began with 45 staff-supervised minutes in a gym with the largest blow-up bouncy house/climbing structure I'd ever seen. Perhaps you've seen such a huge plaything, but I was dismayed. I think it was larger than my living space.
Bedlam. Pandemonium. Pure four-year-old delight--with a few young siblings thrown in for good measure. Well, not actually thrown, but Adam's little sister needed no encouragement to thrust herself into the action.
Before long, she had pulled herself up to the top of the vertical net climbing wall. Oblivious to a watchful "Y" employee, Abby appeared to be planning her first trip down the long slide.
A woman standing nearby said to me, "She's tough as nails, isn't she?" At that moment, at the top of the net, Abby managed to haul her dress off over her head and fling it to earth, before plunging down the slide in her tights and undershirt, scattering the Birthday Boys.
Forty-five minutes later, a sweet-faced female "Y" employee, with a voice to rouse sleeping giants, organized 21 hyper-active children—CHILDREN! COME. HERE. NOW. STAND ON THAT BLACK LINE. DO YOU HEAR ME? STAND ON THAT BLACK LINE. NOW! They stood. On to the Party Room. Balloons! Treats! Cupcakes!
What a delightful riot of an afternoon. I hope I'm invited next year.

Bryan Cranston Stars In Short Film After Challenging Production Assistants To Write A Script That Would Blow Him Away
Published 5:25 pm, Wednesday, January 15, 2014
This is awesome.
During a break from filming new movie "Cold Comes the Night" last year, Bryan Cranston offered production assistants working on the film a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity — the chance to make a short film starring the "Breaking Bad" actor.
Cranston put together a contest, challenging the production assistants to come up with their own scripts. The actor then offered to star in a script of his choosing if there was one he liked.
The result is a black and white 13-minute short called "Writer's Block" from production assistant Brandon Polanco which has since been posted to YouTube in full.
Latest business videos
The film follows Cranston's search for a woman in a black dress. While it's definitely a bit of a strange watch, the film is well shot and Cranston is absolutely delightful in it.
You can purchase the film on iTunes here.

Good luck with that, and let me know if you have any questions on this front. > The camera we're talking about here is a CMOS camera. I think our particular one is unusually bad (it was one of the first of its model), but from what I've heard most, if not all, high-dynamic-range CMOS cameras suffer from some degree of nonlinearity. The problem is that they use two different amplifiers, one for low photon counts and the other for high counts. The region where they "hand off" between each other is where the large nonlinearity is visible. The other smaller nonlinear region I mentioned is a very minor effect right at the bottom of the camera's sensitivity. Honestly I don't know that it's worth worrying about much (uncorrected, you'd be off by under half a count in the vast majority of pixels), but I'm writing my code to be generic so it can handle any kind of monotonic nonlinearity. I presume you've seen this article about some of the sCMOS cameras, but if not: http://www.microscopy-analysis.com/files/jwiley_microscopy/2012_January_Sabharwal.pdf They mention the dual amplifier gain issues, and also point out some potential trouble spots (toward the end in the "unexpected findings" section) with the low-gain amplifier at least for the (unidentified) camera they used.

Reuters, the embattled news and financial data group, is to reveal that revenues in the first three months of the year have plunged by £90 million.
The disclosure this week will pile more pressure on chief executive Tom Glocer, who faces criticism about his pay at the company's annual meeting on Thursday.
Reuters last year reported its first loss since flotation in 1984. Its share price has fallen by 90 per cent in two years.
The influential National Association of Pension Funds, which speaks for the institutional shareholders that account for £800 billion of money invested in Britain's leading public companies, has told its members to abstain rather than vote in favour of Glocer's remuneration arrangements.
The NAPF is angered by the compensation that could accrue to Glocer if his contract is terminated before July. The amount would be the equivalent of twice his basic salary of £800,000 a year, plus bonuses, meaning he could collect over £2m.
Shareholders would complain that Glocer was being rewarded for failure.
NAPF is also urging investors to abstain from voting for Devin Wenig to join the board of directors, on the grounds that Reuters has provided no details of his salary or the terms of his contract.
An NAPF spokesman said that the situation was quite extraordinary. 'How can shareholders be expected to vote for someone put up for election when they know nothing about his contract,' he said.
Reuters said it was still working on Wenig's package.
Reuters shares were hit again last week after broker UBS Warburg set a price target of just 80p. On Friday, the shares closed at 106p.
Reuters' top management took home bonuses totalling more than £2.2m last year, even though the company plunged into the red.

James Franco went on The Late Show With David Letterman to promote his new film Spring Breakers, directed by Harmony Korine, but what he really wanted to know was why Korine had been banned from the show about 10 years ago.
"The legend is that he pushed Meryl Streep backstage," Franco said, quickly adding "I mean if you push Meryl Streep backstage you get kicked off."
"Not necessarily," Letterman joked.
Letterman tells his own recollection of what actually occurred in the clip below.

The San Jose police officer accused of raping a hotel maid and assaulting his ex-girlfriend was charged this week with another crime – buying a bottle of vodka from a Gilroy Safeway in the wee hours of the morning, violating an obscure California law that bans the sale or purchase of alcohol between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m.
Officer Geoffrey Graves now faces a misdemeanor count of violating that little known business and professions code, formally known as Section 25631.
But the Mercury News, which first reported the new charge, added that the 38-year-old officer was not charged with theft. That's because a grocery store cashier said he left $20 at the checkout counter – even though a police report says he threw it down angrily before storming out.
The incident, which was Gilroy Police Records Manager David Boles told NBC Bay Area was captured on surveillance video, occurred May 25.
But the misdemeanor allegation did not come to light until Tuesday when Graves was in court on his Sept. 22, 2103 rape charge of a hotel maid.
Graves entered a not guilty plea to the rape charge in April. At the same court hearing, he entered a not guilty plea to two counts of inflicting corporal injury on a spouse, in which police documented two fights between Graves and his then-girlfriend. Graves did not enter a plea Tuesday to buying the bottle of vodka charge, and was ordered to answer that on Oct. 16. His preliminary hearing on the rape charge is set for Oct. 1.
Since his first arrest, Graves has been out of custody on $100,000 bail.
It was while he was out that Gilroy police records show that he was inside the Gilroy Safeway on First Street at 2:30 a.m. A Safeway employee called police to report that a customer had tried to buy liquor at the store, and got very angry when the employee said he wasn't allowed to sell it to him.
The customer engaged in some sort of "confrontation with the employee," records show, and the customer "threw down $20 and left with the vodka anyway."
With the help of the surveillance video, which police would not release, the employee was able to identify the customer as Graves.

Policy director, Campaign to Protect Rural England
One of my favourite spots is the deserted medieval village on the shoulder of Hound Tor on Dartmoor - one of the few remaining large spaces of rural tranquillity in the south. It's a good half a mile's stroll from the nearest parking place. There are remnants of stone walls and the outline of two or three medieval farmhouses.
Matt Neale
Area ranger for the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority
My favourite spot is Great Knoutberry Hill, at the top end of Wensleydale. It has a 360-degree view across the roof of England; north to Great Shunner Fell, one of the highest points of the Pennine Way, south over limestone countryside, dominated by the three peaks - Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough - and west towards the Lake District and Scafell Pike. It's about 40 minutes' walk from where you park, but at the top there's a stone seat with protection from the wind - a perfect spot to eat your sandwiches.
Jo Spurgeon
Editor, Venue magazine, Bristol
Sometimes a city's universally commended escape spot can prove a little disappointing. But Bristol's twisting Brandon Hill, with its secluded bowling greens, iconic tower, yawning vistas and leafy hideaways, is more than worth the back-busting, hilly climb. You'll discover one of the most romantic and curious idylls in Bristol. Perfect, in short, for a picnic.
Nick Baker
TV naturalist
There's a spot I love near Castle Drogo in Devon. It's on the top of Hunter's Path: hop over the stile and stop at the bench just below the castle. The view is stunning. There's a drop right down into the gorge - you can hear the River Teign bubbling and can even look down onto buzzards flying below. It's a great place for butterflies, there's a huge number of both rare and common varieties, as well as lizards and even the odd adder - a good thing in my book.
Kate Ashbrook
Chairman of the Ramblers' Association
In Snowdonia National Park there's a place I love at the top of Glasgwm hill, beside a small lake, Llyn y Fign. It's quite a rough, steep scramble as there's no public footpath. The lake's not deep but you can still swim, and there are fantastic views of Cader Idris to the south west. To get there you'd leave your car at Cwm Cywarch then walk up a gorge and bear left - about an hour's walk if you're taking it slowly and enjoying the views.

Miley Cyrus tops Maxim's annual "Hot 100" list.
Right. The skinny Disney kid with the weird haircut.
"If feels amazing to be the No. 1," Cyrus told Maxim. "It's every woman's fantasy to be told she's No. 1 on Maxim's Hot 100! So crazy!"
According to the Huffington Post, Maxim said Cyrus held the top spot from the very beginning of four months' worth of reader voting.
"This pixie-haired beauty brought it home for America, storming to the top spot the first week of voting and never losing command of her seat of world power," said the Maxim press release. "So as we officially rename 2013 the Year of the Miley, let's all party in the U.S.A. and rock out to her collaborations with Maxim heroes like Snoop Lion and will.i.am. Miley, we hereby anoint thee Queen of Our Hearts."
OK, just stop.
Cyrus is followed on the list by Selena Gomez, whose bikini-wearing, bong-smoking role in "Spring Breakers" undoubtedly helped to magnify her sex appeal this year. Rihanna, Mila Kunis and Jennifer Lawrence round out the top five.
There were some surprises. "Today" show host Hoda Kotb is No. 79. Right — the one who gets drunk with Kathie Lee Gifford. Maxim refers to the 48-year-old as an "Egyptian goddess."
California's attorney general Kamala Harris — who received global attention when President Obama referred to her as "by far, the best looking attorney general in the country," made the list at No. 54.
And just for fun, Manti Te'o's imaginary girlfriend was listed at No. 69.
In the upset department, Beyoncé failed to crack the top 10, landing at No. 14. Megan Fox and Blake Lively were ranked in the 20s, while Ashley Benson and Kat Dennings placed in the 80s. Sophia Vergara fell to No. 49.
Salma Hayek didn't make the list at all. Hoda Kotb was 49, but no Salma Hayek.
Someone over at Maxim needs to be arrested.

Erh...intitially I found this album quite strange to listen too - even though I never considered it to be "bad" - it had an entirely different, more commercial feel to it than previous efforts - probably due to a lighter production coupled with the opening two "party-rockers".
Not to say that the production is "bad" - not at all actually - but it just is less heavy and more rock & roll orientated than the first four albums - this album can more or less be viewed as a "breaking" album for Manowar.
Even though the first two tracks "Fighting The World" and "Blow Your Speakers" are solid party rock & roll songs - I can't say that I was too impressed with them - at least not on a studio recording - they gain a lot in a live environment - that's for sure. "Carry On" also isn't exactly the strongest Manowar tune ever (even though I must admit to liking it quite a bit) with it's "easy on the ears" chorus - and "Violence & Bloodshed", although not bad, certainly isn't the best "up-tempo" song they ever recorded.
So to say - the first half of the album is quite ordinary - run of the mill metal - especially for a band like Manowar - who have proven in the past that they could do so much better. The album however - is completely redeemd by it's second half - starting out with the excellent "Defender" - an atmospheric, moody (and slow) tune on which Eric Adam's excells (it also features the haunting voice of Orson Welles once again) - up comes a small, overlookable intro ("Drums Of Doom") leading into the catchy "Holy Wars" (again - Adams steals the show in this one), unto another (slightly unnecesary) "interlude" ("Master Of Revenge") and into the album's highlight - the speed killer "Black Wind Fire And Steel" - another one of those timeless Manowar classics.
Not a bad release overall - but not matching up with any other album in the Manowar catalogue either - it's worth getting for Adam's voice alone though - and certainly is better than a lot of other rubbish out there...but not essential - unless of course you are a Manowar fan.

Illegal to have NFA firearm at range without paperwork?
Made this post in the NFA forum, but thought legal minds might have a better shot at answering this one for me:
I was at the Markham Park shooting range today in South Florida. I was shooting an MP-5SD (RDTS conversion) and after shooting it for some time was approached by a range officer who asked if I had my NFA paperwork. I said I did not. He told me I was violating federal law and that any police officer who asked me for my paperwork would arrest me on the spot. He told me I had to pack up and leave the range, which I did. I did not think this was correct, but I have had trouble finding any appropriate legal references to this issue. I know there are a lot of opinions out there, but I was hoping someone could give me a specific reference in the law that I could refer to in the case that this happens again. On the other hand, if the range officer was correct, I suppose I would like to know that as well. Anyone?

Just to be clear, I do have the paperwork, the weapon is a registered SBR and Suppressor, and all the appropriate taxes have been paid. This is a semi, not full auto HK-94 conversion, and I am just wondering whether or not I have to have the BATF paperwork with me at all times, or is it okay for me to leave it safe at home without worrying about getting arrested?

Don't have a reference to cite, sorry...
But it would seem to me, that you would have to be able to produce the paperwork on demand of any LEO. Considering you have to show them your car registration, license and proof of insurance when asked, I think they would be just a little more concerned with NFA items, don't you?
Expecting a LEO to just take your word for the fact that your items are legal is more than just a stretch. Getting arrested, having to go to court, and the hassle of getting your property returned (and in what condition, after how long?) isn't remotely worth the trouble.
Make a copy (make several) of all your paperwork (you could even get them notarised), and carry them with you whenever you leave the house with your NFA items. You can leave the originals home in the safe, for safe keeping, but have a valid copy on you when you have the item in public.
Machine guns and silencers are not common items (except on TV), so don't expect ordinary LEOs to know all the details of the law covering them. "Everybody" knows they are "illegal", and without the Federal (and maybe state?) paperwork, you are in deep doo doo, until you get out on bail, to get your paperwork.
Also consider that run ins with the law (even when you are exonerated, eventually) can get you an "undesirable" reputation, which could affect any future purchases you might consider. Have you papers with you, show them when asked, its just the best policy.
All else being equal (and it almost never is) bigger bullets tend to work better.

Yeah, I just don't agree with that take on it. My limited understanding is that the tax stamp that you pay on the weapon makes the paperwork a tax document subject to relevant privacy laws. The fact is that I do expect a LEO to know the law (I know, what a strange concept,) and the fact is that a police officer cannot ask you for your license or registration or anything else for that matter without something called probable cause, or a warrant, or after having watched you commit a crime. So does a LEO or anyone else (RSO) have a right to ask me for this documentation simply because I am in possession of an NFA weapon. Me thinks not, but that is why I asked. Using this thought process, any police officer could stop you and ask for your ID and vehicle registration simply because you own a car, which is not the case. I appreciate that everyone has an opinion, but I would really like to know what the LAW says.

Papoose Debuts 'Dreams and Nightmares (Freestyle)' Video
Papoose gathers his entire crew for the visual to his new track, 'Dreams and Nightmares (Freestyle).'
He spits a mean freestyle to the tune of Meek Mill's lauded track while walking through what looks like a quiet suburb, rolling deep with about 20 heads.
The video begins with a dedication that reads "R.I.P Strong," which is also written on the T-shirts worn by Pap's entire crew.
Midway through the track, the beat switches up and Papoose's freestyle gets even more aggressive. "My daughter need some school clothes, and my cousin need an appeal / From down the hill we're like Brownsville/ We never ran and never will," the Brooklyn, N.Y., native rhymes. He comes back hard with this one.

Mascots and Their Discontents: Notes on Indigenous People's Day
Happy Indigenous People's Day! It coincides with the holiday "Columbus Day" where the federal government is shut down for a day. And since the Republican Party is holding the government hostage to deny health coverage for millions of Americans everyday, that makes today pretty much just your average Monday.
Native American mascots are not cool, and the Washington football team needs to change its name. It's racist plain and simple. It just needs to happen, but of course if sports team owners did the right thing every time, then the Warriors would stay in Oakland and drop the ridiculous "Golden State" (where is that?) moniker, Clippers owner Donald T. Sterling would turn his apartment buildings into affordable housing, and Miami wouldn't have been robbed by the Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria.
Instead what we get is owner Dan Snyder cherry-picking polls and quotes from Native Americans defending the team name. The week before Columbus Day, just to pile it on further I guess. Well, you know you're in trouble when your main sports media apologist/supporter is such a bad writer that he misquoted his own father-in-law in defending the use of a racial slur for a team mascot. Snyder can't even get your facts straight. The same Red Cloud Athletic fund that Snyder cites as a consultant on the logo design released a statement denying support for the logo:
As an organization, Red Cloud Indian School has never—and will never—endorse the use of the name "R********." Like many Native American organizations across the country, members of our staff and extended community find the name offensive.
Looking at the overall context, we see that the efforts by organized forces pushing for a name change picking up steam. You have the Oneida Nation hammering Dan Snyder publicly for his open letter and running radio ads opposing the team name. Last week the National Congress of American Indians released a report detailing the impacts of negative stereotypes on Native Americans and the racist history of the team name. The same group put out this poster putting the Cleveland Indians on blast too.
Even a piece of the ESPN media behemoth, Grantland, ran this op-ed against the Washington racist mascot and their star podcaster/writer Bill Simmons announced he'd stop using the name on his radio show and has quietly dropped the name from his printed work. And media outlets Slate and Mother Jones have both decided to stop using the racist mascot name as well.
For all of Snyder's big talk about NEVER changing the name (he used ALL CAPS back in May), this is one story that team ownership just can't bury. From the bungled defense of the name by Rick Reilly noted earlier, smartly torn apart by The Nation's Dave Zirin, to comments by President Obama saying he'd change the name if he could, there are weekly headlines about the team's racist mascot. Shoot, even humor sites like The Onion and Funny or Die piled on with their own takedowns of the team name. Even sportscaster Bob Costas called the name a slur during last night's Sunday Night Football game featuring Washington!
Hitting a campaign target is about finding the right levers to get that boss or a decision-maker to do something they don't want to do or deploy resources they wouldn't otherwise. Given all this motion, it's clear that Snyder's hand was forced by his own bumbling responses to critics, his overall lack of defenders outside of the idiotic internet-troll types, and the mobilization on various fronts by opponents of the Washington racist mascot. I'm sure he's not just ready to write open letters on a whim, but that he did shows that something is working.
So on this Indigenous People's Day 2013, I leave you with a funny video to reinforce the important message of "screw Columbus and the ship he came in on" and offer some Asian-Indian solidarity (or is that Asian Indian solidarity? Hah!).
Comedian Hari Kondobolu asks of Italian Americans who want to celebrate Columbus:
Why not Joe DiMaggio Day instead? He was a hall of fame baseball player with a record 56 game hitting streak, look at his stats: career .325 batting average, seven straight seasons of over a hundred RBI, and most importantly, zero career genocides.

History may have given way to high-rise hotels, and fishing to foam parties in this former Catalonian trading port, but the region's fiery spirit is still evident, which is why Lloret de Mar is regarded as the liveliest holiday spot on the Costa Brava. As a resort, the town caters for the 18-30s and families with children. There are seemingly hundreds of British bars, discos and clubs to choose from, and the days are packed with programmes of beach frolics and fun. The resort has five rough sandy beaches, a massive water park, aquatic zoo and a theme park. For a taste of the real Spain visitors can revel in the local cuisine or gather in the town's Placa de la Vila on Saturday evenings to join in when locals dance the traditional Catalonian Sardana dance.
Resort Rating
Days are usually spent enjoying Lloret de Mar's seafront and the shingly beach that slopes sharply into the sea, making ideal conditions for a variety of water sports for holidaymakers to enjoy, from lazily pedalling boats, skimming the surface on a windsurfer, or diving into the depths. Other diversions include a host of holiday fun like go-karts, bungee jumping, a mini-train, bowling alley and horse riding. For a change of scene visitors can head off to the Waterworld aquatic park, or play a round of golf at nearby Santa Cristina de Aro. Most visitors opt for one or more sightseeing excursions during their stay; local operators, hotels and package tour companies offer a wide variety of outings from exploring Old Girona to coastal cruises and wine tasting in the Catalan countryside. Most popular are trips to the huge theme park at Salou and Marineland near Blanes, both a few hours drive away. Those who wish to get away from it all can opt for one of a series of mapped walks along the coast or to traditional villages inland.
While in Lloret de Mar, holidaymakers should be sure to dine at America, La Parrilla, Disaster Café or La Pampa Steak House. There is a wide variety of cuisine available in a plethora of restaurants and fast-food outlets, from the best of British to traditional tapas, at very reasonable prices and generally good quality. Favourites with holiday-makers are strawberries and cream, Sangria (fruited sparkling wine) and delicious dishes of paella (seafood risotto). Many of the local restaurants in the old town offer a "menu of the day" deal including two courses, dessert, bread and even wine for a few Euros. There are also tex-mex, Chinese and various other flavours to indulge in.
The nightlife in the holiday resort of Lloret de Mar is exhilarating, its hundreds of bars and 30-odd nightclubs pulsating all night, particularly along the Avinguda Just Marles I Vilarrodona strip of the old town. Night owls who stroll along here in the late evening are accosted by touts offering free tickets and drinks vouchers for the clubs, and partying here can be as cheap as it is lively. Among the more popular clubs and pubs are Bumpers, renowned for its Caribbean cocktails and glass dance floor; Moby's, where karaoke is the popular entertainment; and Tropics, the biggest and best night-spot in town where guest DJs rock the night with a mix of house, rock and trance music enhanced with laser lights and foam. Families opt for friendly "home-style" pubs in the suburb of Fenals, where kids are entertained and the favourite English soap operas are screened.
There are a multitude of shops and markets to choose from in Lloret de Mar, and plenty of time for holidaymakers to browse. The main shopping enclaves, from malls to small kiosks, are centred in the streets behind the waterfront. Wares tend to be touristy items, from souvenirs to bathing suits, and prices are generally reasonable although quality may be lacking. Some of the smaller shops close in the early afternoon hours and on Sundays, but in general visitors can shop happily from around 9am until late at night any day of the week during the busy summer season. The traditional local market is held every Tuesday on the Carrer dels Mestres, and there is a municipal market every weekday in the Carrer Senia del Rabic and Carrer Verge de Loreto.
The beach is comparatively small and becomes very over-crowded in the height of the season.

Robert McNamara's Legacy
There is a great deal of symbolism in the fact that Robert McNamara died on the day U.S. President Barack Obama met with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to discuss limiting the two countries' number of nuclear weapons.
There is a great deal of symbolism in the fact that Robert McNamara died on the day U.S. President Barack Obama met with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to discuss limiting the two countries' number of nuclear weapons. McNamara, among the most notable of America's defense secretaries, formulated the main points in U.S. nuclear policy, which became the basis for strategic balance during the Cold War.
McNamara was also the architect of the notorious Vietnam War, but his greatest contribution was the development of thought concerning nuclear weapons and his ability to persuade American military leaders, and subsequently Soviet leaders, to adopt his conclusions. It was not easy to deal with the powerful U.S. military establishment because he was leading policy in directions American generals perceived as illogical and even defeatist.
Quite early in his term as defense secretary, McNamara concluded that it would be impossible to win a nuclear war, or to conduct a limited nuclear conflict. Each side's huge arsenal of nuclear warheads would totally annihilate the other.
He concluded that the only way to prevent the adversary from using his nuclear weapons was to deter him and make clear that even if he managed a surprise preemptive strike, his utter destruction would be assured. To ensure total destruction, each power developed a "second strike capability" - a weapon that would survive attack and wipe out the attacker.
McNamara also persuaded the military establishment to stop developing anti-ballistic missile systems. That was a harder task. He based his argument on the fact that a defense system could never provide complete protection. A study by American security officials had found that even using a very efficient defense system, some 60 million Americans would die. Therefore, McNamara said, deterrence should take precedence over defense. That was the rationale behind the policy of "mutually assured destruction." After heated debate, the U.S. military brass and Lyndon Johnson were persuaded; a number of years later, so were the Soviets. In 1972, the United States and Soviet Union signed the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, under which each side gave up developing defensive systems against the other's ballistic missiles.
What relevance does McNamara's legacy hold for us? If Iran attains nuclear weapons, the cost of a strike by these weapons penetrating Israeli defenses would be even more intolerable than in the American case. There will therefore be no choice but to base our policy against the Iranian threat on deterrence instead of defense.
We will also have to learn from the American case how to attain stable deterrence and prevent a mistake that would lead to undesired launches. Iran does not know Israel, but (if foreign reports are true about Israel's nuclear capability), from the moment the nuclear threat is mutual, it will be in Iran's interest to prevent nuclear war from breaking out accidently. They will understand that the cost of such a war would be intolerable. Mutual deterrence and mutually assured destruction would be the basis for strategic balance between Israel and a nuclear Iran.
Following McNamara's death, one of his most important diagnoses should be adopted: "Nuclear weapons serve no military purposes whatsoever. They are totally useless - except only to deter one's opponent from using them."

Despite the looming rain, students participated in the IU Alumni Association's Nearly Naked Mile on Monday as part of Homecoming week.
"This is the fifth year we've run it," said Michelle Loehr, director of the event. "We're expecting well over 3,000 people. We're expecting to break records."
At 6:30 p.m., people began gathering in Dunn Meadow to register for the run.
Participation required a donation of either two articles of clothing or $10.
"We're partnered with United Way, and all the proceeds go straight there," Loehr said. "It's a philanthropy event."
Those who registered received headbands and a combination whistle, compass and flashlight as well as a wristband.
"The wristband gets you access to the after parties," Loehr said.
Local establishments including BuffaLouie's, Jimmy John's, Campus Candy and Kilroy's Bar N' Grill gave discounts later in the night to those who ran in the event.
Early arrivals stripped down and waited in the meadow before the run. Some wore body paint, some carried signs and some sported costumes. People played frisbee and danced to music by the disc jockey in the grass that quickly turned to mud.
Sam Sohn, a sophomore, was excited to participate, clad only in shoes, blue boxer-briefs and a motorcycle helmet. Sohn was carried a cardboard sign with the declaration "Free Dudz."
"This is one of the greatest events IU has ever held," he said. "I did it last year, and it was crazy. I think everyone should come out and have a great time."
Among the more elaborately dressed participants were a banana, a hot dog and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Captain America and Batman made appearances, though they were hesitant to bear it all for the run.
"I don't want to ruin my secret identity," the Dark Knight said in his characteristic growl.
Freshmen Lauren Sammons and Sadie Schroeder came to have fun and be part of the IU Homecoming tradition.
"Plus, we wanted to get rid of some clothes," Schroeder said.
The run officially began at 8 p.m. after the disc jockey and hype man got the runners excited with the song "This is Indiana."
The route started in Dunn Meadow, traveled up Seventh street, looped around the Showalter Fountain, weaved behind the Indiana Memorial Union and ended at the Sample Gates.
At the end of the race, runners sprayed water bottles on the crowd and started chants of "USA!"
"It's a great cause," Sohn said. "You get to donate clothes and have fun. It's a win-win."

An air traveler, bound for San Jose, wound up in handcuffs overnight after taking off all his clothes in an airport security line.
John Brennan, 49, is facing charges of indecent exposure and disorderly conduct after stripping down at Portland International Airport Tuesday night.
Brennan says, he did it in protest of TSA screeners who, he insists, were harassing him.
Brennan says, "I've sent in complaint forms and heard nothing. This was my next action. I know nude, but not lewd, in Oregon is a protected speech, so I'll choose that option."
Brennan says TSA screeners told him he tested positive for nitrates, just moments before he decided to strip down.
Airport authorities say they arrested Brennan after he refused to put his clothes back on.

For seven months of 1954 the 83rd Congress labored. Sometime in the eighth month it will rest. But the political clock will be ticking ever closer to the first Tuesday after November's first Monday. Senators and Congressmen will worry whether the record of their seven-odd months of labor will look good enough on that judgment day. By last week the record was all but complete, its remainder largely predictable. How good is the 83rd's record?
Since neither the Democrats nor the right-wing Republicans had programs of their own, the question must be...

Stocks on Wall Street are expected to trade lightly, but not optimistically, this week as the holidays begin and brokers look to wipe to-do lists clean.
In other words, it is time to dump stocks that look shaky on a firm's portfolio to strengthen end-of-year reports. That could bode poorly for banks and brand name retailers, depending on holiday sales. In better positions would be manufacturing firms, including U.S. automakers and electronics firms, such as Apple which won a victory Monday when the U.S. International Trade Commission ruled in its favor on a patent dispute with Google.
Bank stocks Monday tripped over a Wall Street Journal article that said the U.S. Federal reserve would likely go along with higher capital requirements for the nation's largest banks -- those that pose a systemic risk to the financial system.
European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said the battered euro would survive the financial crisis -- but the crisis was not over.
In the central bank's six-month assessment of the eurozone's financial condition, the ECB went so far as to mention the specter of Lehman Brothers, the bank that symbolizes the financial crisis of 2008.
"The transmission of tensions among sovereigns, across banks and between the two intensified to take on systemic crisis proportions not witnessed since the collapse of Lehman Brothers three years ago," the report said.
Despite the dire warnings, the almost daily report of lower credit ratings in Europe and a pervasive sense of skepticism, the mood has shifted noticeably since the European summit two weeks back in which the European Union agreed to centralize financial authority and send more rescue funds to the International Monetary Fund.
Not many analysts would say that leaders in Europe plugged the right holes. The imbalances remain. Credit rating agencies have kept up, even increased their dogged pursuit of assessing risk -- and nobody's credit rating has gone up of late. Nevertheless, if there is no summit pending, there is no summit to analyze and no politicians to second-guess. For a moment, it appears calm. It might even last to the new year.
In international markets Tuesday, the Nikkei 225 index in Japan rose 0.49 percent, while the Shanghai composite index in China fell 0.1 percent. The Hang Seng index in Hong Kong was up 0.06 percent, while the Sensex in India dropped 1.33 percent.
The S&P/ASX 200 index in Australia shed 0.18 percent.
In midday trading in Europe, the FTSE 100 index in Britain was flat, up 0.01 percent, while the DAX 30 in Germany rose 1.31 percent. The CAC 40 in France rose 1.3 percent, while the Stoxx Europe 600 rose 0.74 percent.

Courses are designed to expand student access to challenging curricula aligned to the Voluntary State Curriculum, Core Learning Goals, and national standards through the delivery of high quality online courses. These courses are consistent with the regular school program; however, teaching is primarily conducted online with the teacher physically separated from the students. Students work independently and at various times of the school day or week. Teachers communicate with students through the online course tools such as email, discussions, and virtual classrooms as well as via telephone. Each school has a support system for students taking online courses and management of online courses resides at the local school.
Use of an Online Course
Online courses can be used by Baltimore County Schools to:
BCPS will only consider online courses approved by the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE). Once an online course has been approved by MSDE, BCPS Curriculum Offices will evaluate and determine which courses can be offered.
BCPS Student Enrollment
Eligible students are not guaranteed enrollment in any BCPS online course. Enrollment is based on course and teacher availability AND approval by appropriate BCPS Curriculum Offices, and the System-Level Coordinator within BCPS funding constraints. Students must, in consultation with their School Counselor, contact their School Site Coordinator for permission to enroll in an online course. Once the System-Level Coordinator approves the request, students may register for the online course following the local school timeline and process.
BPCS will use the following to guide decision-making in determining whether or not a student is eligible to enroll in an online course
Students and parents must sign the BCPS Student Participation Agreement so they can understand the participation requirements and be better prepared to maintain a regular schedule of logging on and keeping up with the course work, as well as sign the MVLO Academic Integrity and Ethics Agreement. If the student is not participating and completing assignments as expected, the Online Teacher will contact the parent/guardian, the School Site Coordinator, and the System-Level Coordinator by phone, U.S. mail, or e-mail. The School Site Coordinator must follow up with the student and parent/guardian and inform the Online Teacher of the action(s) taken.
