Legislation Provides Key Reforms to Protect Rights of Innocent Americans While Preserving Important Necessary Powers in USA PATRIOT Act
Contact: Cody Wertz/ 202-224-5852
04/05/2005- WASHINGTON, DC - United States Senator Ken Salazar today helped unveil new bipartisan legislation designed to increase civil liberties in the USA PATRIOT Act. Senator Salazar is an original co-sponsor of the bi-partisan Security and Freedom Enhancement (SAFE) Act of 2005 sponsored by Senators Larry Craig (R-ID) and Richard Durbin (D-IL). The SAFE Act is a narrowly tailored bill that would retain all of the expanded authorities created by the PATRIOT Act but place important checks and balances on those authorities. Senator Salazar said, "The USA PATRIOT Act is an important and useful tool for law enforcement. These narrow and specific reforms will protect the rights and freedoms of innocent Americans while preserving needed powers to help fight the war on terror." The SAFE Act would protect innocent Americans from unnecessary government surveillance and increase Congressional and judicial oversight of certain law enforcement activities by: Eliminating "John Doe" roving wiretaps which do not specify the person or the phone to be wiretapped; Placing reasonable restraints on so-called "sneak-and-peek" searches, which allow authorities to conduct covert searches without any notification, Restore a standard of individualized suspicion and create procedural protections to prevent abuses of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) searches by the federal government; as well as the use of National Security Letters, which allow federal law enforcement to circumvent legal requirements for access to personal documents; Require accountability of nationwide search warrants, pen/traps on electronic communications and FISA wiretaps (which, in 2003, the most recent year for which statistics are available, exceeded the number of criminal wiretaps for the first time since FISA became law); Limit the qualifying offenses for domestic terrorism to those covered by the federal crime of terrorism, rather than any federal or state crime as is currently the case under the PATRIOT ACT. The SAFE Act legislation is supported by the League of Women Voters, Gun Owners of America, American Civil Liberties Union, American Conservative Union and others.

Dallas woman who lost custody of her two children after she was accused of coaching them to lie about her ex-husband now doubts she will see them until they are adults.
Katherine Andrews, a former flight attendant, has been barred for the past five years from seeing her two children. She was pushed a few steps further back last week in a Denton court when a judge ruled that her case would be shelved for the foreseeable future.
"We lost about as big as you can lose," says Mark Andrews, Katherine Andrews' second husband, who agreed that his wife might never prevail in court.
The case (written about in a Dallas Observer cover story, "Less than a stranger," April 10, 1997) highlighted use of a controversial psychological theory called "parental alienation syndrome," in which one parent--usually the mother--supposedly brainwashes the children into having an irrational hatred of the other parent.
In a 1993 trial, after hearing two psychologists testify that Andrews had induced her children into lying about being sexually abused by their father, 10 of the 12 jurors decided to terminate Andrews' parental rights.
The verdict was overturned on appeal three years later, and the Texas Supreme Court upheld the reversal in February 1997. The appeals panel ruled that there was insufficient evidence to support what it called the "drastic remedy" of termination.
Despite this reversal, Andrews is still prohibited from seeing her kids--now ages 13 and 15--and a new round of legal battling has ended in a fashion typical of this case. Each side is accusing the other of something the other side denies, and maintenance of the status quo means Andrews remains estranged from her children.
"Basically we're saying there's no reason I shouldn't be seeing the kids. Please reinstate my visitation," says Andrews. "They're saying, 'No, we don't want you to see the kids.'"
The father's lawyer, Kathy Kinser, says that simply isn't so. Kinser, who has represented airline pilot David DuMontier throughout much of the decade-long dispute, says her client "has more than once been willing to follow a mental-health professional's advice and never once has he taken a position not to follow their recommendations." If such an expert were to say it would be in the children's best interest to see their mother again, he would agree, she says.
Kinser adds that last summer the two sides agreed to follow a psychologist's plan and, "she [Andrews] just quit. And she picked the expert. We didn't hear from her again for a year."
David Parker, Andrews' lawyer, says the truth is "precisely the opposite. She had done everything humanly possible to see the children."
Andrews is barred by a 1994 injunction from getting near the children or attempting to communicate with them in any way. She says she has in the past resisted proposals to allow her only supervised visits. "That's what they give to criminals," says her husband, Mark.
Andrews says she has dropped her opposition to supervision, at least at the outset, but other hurdles continue to be added to the fight.
Kinser, who has been adept at making Andrews pay for her tactical mistakes, says Andrews herself added the tallest hurdle last October. She filed suit in federal court against her ex-husband, Kinser, and more than a dozen judges, social workers, court-appointed experts, child welfare workers, and others involved in the 1993 trial and related court actions--in Andrews' words, "everyone who did not protect the children."
Andrews, who is asking the court for $5 million in damages for what she claims was an ongoing conspiracy to violate her civil rights, filed the case pro se, meaning without a lawyer. At present, a magistrate has suspended all activity in the suit while he considers requests by the defendants to dismiss it.
But Kinser claims that Andrews' legal briefs are so well researched that she must be getting professional legal help. That's why Kinser is taking the case seriously. She asked the judge in the Andrews-DuMontier custody case at a hearing last week to suspend all proceedings until the federal lawsuit is resolved.
Kinser and Charles Fortunato, who is representing several defendants in the federal case, told visiting Judge Harry Hopkins at the hearing in Denton that it would be impossible to get anyone who has been involved in the custody case to testify while a multi-million dollar federal suit is hanging over them.
"Being a federal defendant is not a pleasant place to be," Fortunato told Hopkins.
Andrews' attorney in the custody battle, David Parker, argued that the issues in the two cases are so dissimilar that one will not affect the other.
"Katherine Andrews has not seen her children in five years; that's five years of Christmases; five years of no birthdays, no contact whatsoever," he said, arguing that to suspend action in the case will result in keeping her from her kids.
But Hopkins, in his questions to the attorneys, made it clear he was concerned that witnesses would feel the heat of the federal case, and might feel coerced by it. He granted Kinser's request to "abate" all proceedings.
The ruling brought Andrews to tears. Her husband led her, crying, from the courtroom.
"All she wants is to hug her kids. Love her kids. Be with them as any other mother. This lady has never been accused of anything. There is testimony that she might have coached her kids, and she denied that," says Parker. "There is zero proof of that happening."
"In fact, the testimony was that her kids loved her so much, they might have tried to lie so they could be with her."

Before Hopkins issued his ruling, he gave the sides an opportunity to reach a hasty agreement on a temporary arrangement that would have allowed Andrews visitation rights.
For reasons that neither side would reveal, they once again failed to reach an agreement. "This has been going on so long, it's hard to find common ground," says Parker.
While Parker does not think his client's case is dead--or that she will not get to see her children again--he concedes she has lost her legal platform to press her case.
"It's at a standstill," he says. "Both cases have stopped.

Words: Chris Lesser
Another Crankworx Slopestyle contest is in the books, and neither the odds-on favorite nor the returning champion came away with the win.
Brandon Semenuk came into the Kokanee Crankworx Monster Energy Slopestyle fresh off a win at Crankworx Colorado in Winter Park. Earlier in the summer he took the top-spot at the Claymore Challenge at Highland Mountain in New Hampshire, and before that, 1st place at the Red Bull Rampage. He looked unstoppable.
But when the dust settled and the judges scores came in, Semenuk's last run came 0.75 points short to Greg Watts' second-round score of 96 points. The crowd of thousands roared as Watts finished his victory lap and was drenched with Monster Energy coffee drink. Watts had come in second to Semenuk at the Claymore Challenge, and now he has returned the favor.
It was a night of many firsts for the Crankworx Slopestyle contest. Because of a rained-out Best Trick Showdown on Thursday, the organizers decided to combine it with the Slopestyle for the first time—raising the overall prize purse for Saturday night's competition to $38,000. The potential for a combined payday of $21,000 ($15k for the slopestyle; $6k for best trick) for a single rider added an extra layer of anticipation for the field of 16 qualifiers.
Another first came in the flopping, flapping, bounding form of the butt-naked spectator who ran the length of the course in between runs in Round 1 of the competition, to the shock, horror and amusement of thousands who watched Crankworx's first-ever streaker make it down the entire course, with an unfortunate close-up of the whole run on the jumbo-tron. The streaker even went for a victory loop in the finisher's area, refusing the cover of a beach ball offered by a flummoxed official at the bottom of the course. Instead, he took the ball and raised it overhead as he lapped the winner's circle and then bounded back up the course and into the woods.
Yet another first came after Watts' victory lap—when he was covered not in champagne, not in beer beer, but in java. Specifically, in brown sticky-sweet "Mean Bean" Monster Energy coffee drink.
The run that precipitated the coffee precipitation went like this: 360 tail-whip off the drop in, Superman seat-grab over the first jump, back-flip onto 360 off the Giro box, tail-whip off the Kona wall, truck driver off the SRAM feature, bar-spin off the Race Face drop; flip-whip over the VW dirt jump and huge back flip off the Kokanee Kicker to cap it all off—$15,000 richer than he was when he started his run.
Defending champ Andreu Lacondeguy was plagued with crashes and didn't make it into the Superfinal, but did take home the Best Trick thanks to his huge 360 flat-spin Superman off the second to last jump of the course.
The field of 16 competitors got two runs to notch their best score. The top 6 moved on to the Superfinal, where each would get a last crack at the top dog.
Second place, along with $7,500, went to Semenuk, and super-Swede Martin Soederstrom's well-earned 90.75 points nabbed him $3,000.
Kokanee Crankworx Monster Energy Slopestyle Results:
1. Greg Watts
2. Brandon Semenuk
3. Martin Soederstrom

Lets start by saying I don't like rum, which makes me wonder why I even bought this tea. I love steepster for just that, guiding me to a tea that I would never get because of its great reviews.
I am happy to report that I really like this tea. The leaves are pretty and smell sweet and buttery. I steeped it for a really long time, no idea how long, maybe 10 minutes. It is absolutely delicious. I don't taste the rum, I do get a creamy buttery taste with tiny hints of coconut. I had it straight but will try it with milk and rock sugar next.

Grandmas adore babysitting. So much so, that it doesn't matter when you're called upon, or for how long. A whole week, maybe two. No problem. Right?
Not so fast. While you relish the extra playtime with the grandbabies and like pitching in, 24/7 nanny duty might, well, hinder your active social life. Without setting boundaries with your adult children early in the game, you run the risk of well-meaning intentions turning into a dreadful hem-and-haw every time you're asked — again — if you'd mind watching the kids.
If you're lucky, it all works out. Case in point: Annie Daniel, grandmother of eight, says she rarely says no to sitting requests. "I've been available and willing. And, I've enjoyed every minute of it," she says.
Without a blink, she reels off her grandkids' ages — 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 3, 1. For Annie, watching the kids has never felt obligatory. Instead, she sees it as a chance for the grandkids to get to know their grandparents as people. "The little ones are my only hope for sitting these days. I jump at keeping them every chance I get," she says wistfully. "It's hard to say you don't want to be part of something that won't last very long." Annie hastens to add, though, that her grandkids' parents have never overstepped their bounds or "put her on the spot."
Babysitting Gone Bad
This is not always the case. A lack of granny-nanny guidelines can also lead to sticky situations. And before long, it may feel like you're being taken advantage of.
One grandmother (let's call her Zelda) reached that point, of feeling under-appreciated and just plain used. It got to where, as she puts it, "You dread the phone call. You answer it and say, 'Oh, sure, I'll sit' only to hang up and think, 'What did I just do?'"
It started out innocently enough.
"I was asked to keep my only grandchild for an hour while his mother shopped for groceries," she says. "Naturally, I was eager to help."
Two days later, the phone started ringing again. Then, more phone calls. Babysitting requests started piling up.
The calls were spontaneous, says Zelda, who admits to being caught off-guard by the onslaught. "While still in the conversation, I'd be juggling two little voices," she says. "One voice would say: 'I want to serve, and not be selfish with my time.' But, an equally urgent voice silently piped up: 'Yes, but I thought I had this whole day to paint.'"
One way to avoid getting stuck in this predicament is to outline for your children how much free time you have for babysitting. You may even lightly strike up the conversation before your grandchild is born. Also key? Consider how far in advance of sitting time you'd like to be approached. If you prefer day-of requests be off-limits — except in case of emergency — tell your children that.
"Setting limits early-on will help you steer clear of misconceptions and unrealistic expectations," says award-winning children's author Karyn Henley. The grandmother of two cautions: "If you say 'yes' every time, even when it means changing your schedule, the parents will probably ask you first, every time."
In Zelda's case, there were two warning signs she missed. First, she was being asked to sit more and more frequently. Second, the extent of care she was being asked to provide for her grandson was expanding.
A simple 'can he spend the night?' would balloon into, 'since he'll be there tomorrow morning, would you mind taking him to his doctor's appointment?'
Then, Zelda began questioning the reasons she was being asked to sit, which usually sounded something like: 'My husband has a chance to go out-of-town and really wants me to go with him.'
Sure, sounds like a nice outing; but, is it something Zelda should feel compelled to devote a big chunk of her time to making sure happens?
"Before I learned to set limits, a resentment — that I never talked about — had built up," she admits. "I finally realized that, by being a doormat, I was causing myself the problem. So I took steps to change that."
Things are different now. The new Grandma Zelda weighs her decisions to babysit against the reason the baby's parents require a sitter (what are their plans?). An important job interview gets a 'yes' much faster than a massage at the Y.
And, Zelda now keeps a calendar by her telephone. Even if she has nothing scheduled on the requested day, she's perfectly comfortable saying, "No, I have plans," which may very well mean 'I plan to not take care of your child. I'm reserving that day for me'.
Henley agrees. It's okay to say, "No, I'm sorry but my schedule is full" without giving specifics. For times when sitting is not convenient, she suggests offering an alternate sitter. You may try this: "If you're in a pinch, call my next door neighbor. I've kept her grandchild, so she owes me big time!"
This doesn't mean you're accepting responsibility for finding a sitter, stresses Henley. "You're there to help. But, you're not obligated. If I can't sit, I know my daughter-in-law will find someone, or change plans, or they'll have to work it out as a couple."
A Granny Nanny with a Plan... or Three
Carolyn Schulz and her daughter, Karen, found a unique way to avoid misunderstandings. After Carolyn and her husband retired, the two moved back to the town where they had raised their family. This was also where her daughter and son-in-law were building their own business.
Carolyn asked outright, "How can I best help the business?"
Her daughter's response: "By being a 'gopher' for our girls."
Translated, this meant that Carolyn would be available, sometimes on short notice, for whatever needs arose for her granddaughters, then ages 7 and 10.
Carolyn and Karen worked out a timesaving code that's proven to be effective.
If Karen makes a request and Carolyn responds with a Plan A that means: No plans, no problem!
Responding with a Plan B indicates that Carolyn has plans and Karen should try her other sitter options.
If Karen's request is a Plan W, that translates into urgent — usually signaling a business predicament. In this case, she's exhausted all other options and will have to seriously alter her plans if Carolyn cannot help.
"The arrangement works out splendidly from my end," says Carolyn. "I'm usually available to help, but I've turned down requests."
As for Zelda? "Setting and communicating reasonable boundaries is hard," she says. "But I've realized that the world doesn't fall apart when I say 'no'."
Excellent advice!
My son and his girlfriend had a baby when they were 19 and 18. The baby is almost 2 now and I'm still parenting a child who is in his teens. I'm also still working. I'm also the one who puts my head in my hands when the phone rings. I love my grandchild fiercely but don't want the responsibility of caring for her for hours at a time when I'm also expecting my own child home from school and am exhausted from work. I never see my son or the child's mother except for pick up and drop off of the baby. They make a short visit on Thanksgiving, Easter and Christmas, maybe an hour.
When I had my kids I was home with them and my mother visited, had tea, spent time with them at my house and only babysat 4-5 times during their entire childhood. They stayed over her house twice, once for two nights when I was sick and my husband was away on business.
What happened to seeing the grandchildren socially with their parents? I want to go back to that and think I will. I'm just tired!
My son and his girlfriend have a 1 year old and a 3 year old from her previous relationship. They both were working the same schedule which they went in early in the morning. The kids had to sleep over 3 nights a week, which I had them most of the afternoon until they came home. It was difficult because I changed my hours at work for them and only worked on the days I didn't have them. They didn't sleep well during the night, which left me exhausted.
They just switched their hours so he is home with the kids in the am, and she has them pm. This is causing a problem because they only see each other on weekends. I was under the impression that they did this so that the kids would be able to be home in their own beds, and now my son told me that they changed it because I wasn't dealing well with them being here so much. Am I being selfish not wanting them to sleep over 3 nights a week?
My daughter is 29, divorced, and has 3 daughters, 12, 9, and 4. I divorced 13 years ago, and I've been helping my daughter and her children all this time in some capacity. The 12 year old's father is emotionally neglectful, but pays a little child support, and his mother see her some weekends. The 9 and 4 year old's father abandoned them 3 1/2 years ago. I've been the primary bread winner. I have a good paying job and I'm 56 years old. My daughter does better each year, but she is a very angry, bitter young woman. A year ago, she got a good paying job working Thursday nights, Friday and Saturday nights. She was able to secure a 2-bedroom apartment, only blocks from my house. The girls are in a very school system. I have been taking care of all three granddaughters since last December 2012, every Thursday, Friday, all day Saturday, Saturday night, and until about 1:00 p.m. on Sundays. The two younger ones have ADHD. The older one of the two is on medication and does very well on that. The 12 year old is gem and is very helpful. I work Monday thru Friday and I'm off work Saturday and Sunday. I've had about 2-3 weekends off since last December. I collapse on Sundays afternoons and recover at my job on Mondays and Tuesdays. There are no strong, helpful men in my life or my daughter's life. There are no brothers, no uncles, no grandfathers. It's been me helping my daughter and grandchildren for 12 years. This last weekend, I tried to go back to church Sunday morning. I have not gone to church (which I love) for over 4 months, because it was a chore going to church with 3 kids, the 4 year old would RUN every time we went to church and I had to take them to 3 different buildings. After church I'd prepare lunch. It was too much for me. So I tried again this last Sunday. I was one block from church and I had a melt down from the bickering in the back seat between the 9 and 4 year old. I turned around and went back home. Their mother came to pick them up at 1 p.m. I've been very depressed and crying off and on. I work 40 hours at my normal job, and have week nights to get all my chores done, which includes maintaining my house and yard, 2 dogs, and a one cat. I love my granddaughters and I love caring for them and cooking good meals, but it's taking it's toll. My daughter cannot afford childcare. I'm spent, I'm getting worn out. I can't continue doing this all on my own, and I don't know how my daughter can work, unless I care for her daughters. She has not been a good daughter to me. I do what I do for my granddaughters.
How well do you get along with your grandchild and other family members? Want to know if your personalities mesh?Find out here.

World: South Asia
Press urges return to democracy
Despite the coup, people are out on streets as normal
Newspapers in south Asia are pondering Pakistan's future following Tuesday's military coup.
Many of Pakistan's leading dailies have called for an early return to civilian rule.
The newspaper observes: "The situation is indeed altogether confusing." Its lead article holds the deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif responsible for putting the country into the crisis.
"His lust for supreme power precipitated it", says Dawn.
"It is obvious that Pakistan must speedily move towards fresh elections and a semblance of constitutionality," it added.
Another leading Pakistani newspaper, The Nation, does not seem unhappy with the dismissal of Nawaz Sharif.
The paper is particularly concerned about, what it describes as "American meddling in a sovereign nation_s affairs".
But it adds: "A great responsibility rests on [the army's] shoulders to put the country back on its rails and for that elections and a representative government as soon as possible are essential pre-requisites."
Another newspaper, The News, said that "Pakistan's history teaches us that prolonged direct military rule is counterproductive both for the country and the military as a professional institution."
India's concern
The Times of India,in a report headlined "India alarmed at events in Pakistan" comments: "The coup will be doubly dangerous in a nuclear Pakistan where there is no political leadership to control a general capable of pulling the nuclear trigger".
The Indian Express echoes these concerns in an article describing the Pakistani army chief as a hardliner towards India.
The newspaper quotes an Indian defence analyst as saying "India could expect things to worsen rather than improve in Kashmir because General Musharraf is known for his deep-rooted animosity towards India".
The Hindu points out that the move threatens the future of democracy in Pakistan and "destroys the credibility of the state structure".
"What is a matter of deep regret and disappointment is that this coup, albeit a bloodless one, plunges Pakistan's fragile civil society into deeper crisis," The Hindu said.
"However reprehensible Mr Sharif's administration might have been, Pakistan as a civil society does not deserve to be punished by depriving it of its inalienable right to have a democratic process and the potential for political alternatives within that democratic structure," it added.

The two people you probably least expected to become close tweeted each other which makes their friendship real.
By now, you probably know about Justin Bieber peeing in a bucket after a night out. He also insulted former president Bill Clinton, but immediately apologized!
You don't make fun of Bill Clinton, especially if your a young Canadian adult making all kinds of money off of young Americans.
Justin felt the need to tweet about it, because if you don't tweet then how will everyone know it's real?
No feelings were harmed but bonds made.

A MAN bit former Richmond skipper Kane Johnsons ear after his girlfriend claimed he hit on her at a boozy after-party for a former Tiger player's wedding, a court heard today.
Matthew Barton, 24, was jailed for up to 15 months for biting and punching Johnson, 33, and king-hitting another guest at the Laika Bar in St Kilda in the early hours of February 5, after attending Kayne Pettifer's nuptials.
Barton's girlfriend told him she had been inappropriately touched more than once and indicated the unwanted attention had come from Johnson, the Melbourne Magistrates' Court heard.
"There was talk that Kane might have cracked on to Barton's girlfriend but I don't know if that's true," a witness statement read to the court said.
Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said he did not see this behaviour in CCTV footage from the night.
"I make no findings at all as to whether or not what you were told is correct," he said.
Footage from the Fitzroy St bar showed the former Xavier College student approached Johnson on the dance floor and put his arm around him before biting his ear and repeatedly punching him in the face, the court heard.
After being ejected by a security guard, Barton king-hit 28-year-old Angus McDonald, who was sitting outside, knocking him unconscious.
Prosecutor Diana Hogan said Mr McDonald lost consciousness after the first blow and fell and hit his head on the pavement after the second.
Defence counsel Brian Bourke said Mr McDonald had "gesticulated" towards a drunk Barton, but Mr Vandersteen told the court he could not seen the gesture in the footage.
"It almost seems like it is a revengeful, purposeful act directed towards these two males," Mr Vandersteen said.
The court heard Johnson, who retired from football in 2009, suffered cuts, bruising and swelling to his right ear - which required further treatment after it became infected - as well as a blood nose and a cut above his left eye.
In his victim impact statement, Johnson said he appreciated Barton's letter of apology – despite its lateness – and hoped the incident would act as a great lesson to all involved.
Ms Hogan said Mr McDonald received a 5cm laceration and swelling to the back of his head and a bruised and swollen jaw.
She conceded the victim, who was found to have a blood alcohol reading of 0.22, was intoxicated.
The court previously heard a number of members of the Richmond Football Club attended the wedding.
In requesting an immediate term of imprisonment, Ms Hogan said the court needed to send a message to both
Barton and the community that alcohol-fuelled violence at licensed premises would not be tolerated.
"That kind of vigilante behaviour will not be condoned," she said.
Barton, who was on bail and summons for two other incidents at the time of the attack, pleaded guilty to recklessly causing serious injury and intentionally causing injury.
The court heard Barton, who spent 12 days in custody before being bailed, had been involved in previous assaults at a Warrnambool hotel and a Toorak nightclub.
Barton – who lives in Warrnambool and is being groomed to take over his family's large waste collection business – was sentenced to a non-parole period of five months.
Dressed in a tight white shirt and tie, Barton sat with his mother and girlfriend, who cried after he was sentenced.
An appeal against the sentence was lodged immediately and Barton was bailed.

A 22-year-old San Jose man died and a passenger was injured Tuesday morning after their car drove off of U.S. Highway 101 and overturned in San Jose, according to the California Highway Patrol.
At about 5:35 a.m., a 2001 Mazda was heading south in the far right lane of Highway 101 south of Tully Road when it veered onto the shoulder and struck a light pole, CHP Officer Chris Falkowski said.
The crash caused the Mazda to overturn numerous times and come to rest on its roof, Falkowski said.
The driver of the car, identified as Troy Donecho of San Jose, died at the scene and his passenger, a 21-year-old San Jose man, was treated for minor lacerations to his head.
Investigators do not know if another car was involved in the crash, Falkowski said.
The crash remains under investigation and the CHP is awaiting a toxicology report from the Santa Clara County medical examiner's office to determine if alcohol or drugs were factors, he said.

Most married couples file their taxes jointly as a matter of course. But there are some instances when filing separately is actually the better choice for a married couple. Just in time for tax season, here's what you need to know to determine when filing jointly and separately makes the most sense:
The Perks of Filing Jointly
In general, the IRS would prefer married couples to file jointly. For that reason, joint filers are offered one of the largest standard deductions offered each year. For 2013 taxes, that joint standard deduction is $12,200—twice the amount offered to single filers or married couples filing separately.
In addition, married couples who file separately forfeit a number of tax credits and deductions that they would otherwise enjoy if they filed jointly. That means if you file separately from your sweetie, you can't take the earned-income credit, claim adoption expenses or child and dependent-care costs, use educational tax credits, or deduct student loan interest. In addition, the amount of capital gains losses you may deduct is double for joint filers compared to separate filers.
Why You Might File Separately
In general, spouses often want to file separately when they are estranged or heading toward divorce. There are a couple of reasons for that: First, filing jointly means that both spouses are jointly responsible for the tax bill and any future issues. If you have any reason to suspect your spouse of committing tax shenanigans, it's a good idea to file separately in order to distance yourself from the potential fallout.
Second, spouses who are planning to divorce may decide to file separate returns in order to avoid prolonging the tax ties to each other after the marriage has officially dissolved.
However, even if your marriage is as strong as it was the day of your wedding, there still may be some good reasons for filing separately. In particular, if one spouse has a very low income and had significant medical bills in the last year, the couple may find it is less of a tax burden to file separately. That's because the spouse with high medical bills and a low income is more likely to reach the 10% of adjusted gross income threshold for itemizing medical expenses.
The Costs of Separate Filing
Married couples who file separately will generally find that more of their income is taxed than both single taxpayers and married couples filing jointly. For example, a single taxpayer who earned $80,000 in 2013 would fall into the 25% tax bracket. But a married taxpayer who earned $80,000 in 2013 and who files separately from her spouse would fall into the 28% tax bracket.
For comparison, married couples filing jointly will stay in the 25% tax bracket until their income reaches $146,400, and singles stay in that bracket up to an income of $87,850. Marrieds filing separately have the lowest threshold for going from a 25% to a 28% bracket at $73,200.
The Bottom Line
For the majority of married couples, joint filing is going to be the least expensive way to pay your taxes. But in certain situations, filing separately will be the most prudent course of action for lowering your tax bill or protecting your assets.

After two hours of public comment at their Tuesday meeting, the Sheridan County Board of County Commissioners voted 4-1 against the controversial riparian management amendments. Commissioner Terry Cram was the lone vote in favor of the proposed regulations, which would have established a buffer zone on certain areas of private property adjacent to a stream or river.
More than 19 individuals spoke during the public comment period, most against the riparian amendments but a few in favor of the regulations. Concerns ranged from decreased property values if the item passed, to concerns that the regulations - which would have exempted agriculture - would not have a positive impact on water quality or native wildlife.
Commissioner Tom Ringley explains why he voted against the proposed regulations.
Retired biologist for the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, Roger Wilson, was one of the few who spoke out in favor of the amendments. He said the agriculture exemptions should be addressed and that the public response to this proposal cannot be ignored.
Ringley says the county spent in the neighborhood of $70,000 on developing the riparian regulations.
Earlier this month, the Sheridan County Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the proposed amendments in a vote of 4-1 in favor of the regulations.

A holidaymaker who dared to complain about her romantic Valentine's trip to Mexico received a series of foul-mouthed emails upon her return.
Gemma Fish, 29, paid £3,000 for a joint birthday and Valentine's day holiday at the Catalonia Riviera Maya with her fiancé Andrew Bracchi back in February.
But, when she arrived at the hotel and found her room to be like a "prison cell", she rang Thomson on its 24-hour "holidayline" telephone service. The couple were moved to a better room, although they were still not happy about the noise, the low standard of food and the beach.
In an email to the company sent during her holiday, Ms Fish said: "The tiles on the floor were chipped, there is literally 2 beds, a desk and a TV.. You have taken £3,000 off me and I am absolutely horrified you can do this to people."
She told the Daily Mail: "Quite frankly it was more like a prison cell than what you would expect after paying £3,000 for a holiday. It was just horrendous. I was appalled that they could do this to us."
But, a month after Ms Fish complained to the tour operator, she received a barrage of rude emails from a rogue Thomson staff member who had apparently "interfered with a number of internal email accounts".
While another said: "Gemma we are sorry that ur room is NOTHING like you thought it would be like... But you need to go an see ur rep, but she really won't give a s*** like the 24/7 holiday line."
Thomson has since apologised to Ms Fish and, according to the Daily Telegraph, said in a statement: "An employee interfered with a number of internal email accounts, sending inappropriate emails. We carried out a full internal investigation, as well as supporting the police in their investigation, the issue was dealt with immediately and the staff member was dismissed.
"We would like to reassure our customers that the interference of these email accounts was an isolated incident. Customer service is of paramount importance to Thomson and we have taken all the steps necessary to ensure it does not happen again."
The company has since offered Ms Fish a cheque for £150, which she says is unsatisfactory.

I AM writing to express my concerns about the report into the LDP which is due to be considered by the Council (January 23).
The report was approved by the economy and environment scrutiny committee (December 4) and the planning committee (December 20).
The report set out three options for dealing with the LDP and the recommendation which has been approved so far is option 3 - ie to cease work on the Deposit LDP as approved in January 2012 and commence work on a replacement Deposit Local Development Plan.
Approximately 4700 residents have formally objected to the plan, expressing their concerns about many of the housing allocations which stem from the strategy of the LDP.
The committee report states that the LDP Preferred Strategy is sound and the fault has been the way in which the Deposit Plan implemented the strategy. It also states that it is essential that the council secures the necessary infrastructure to facilitate the development proposed in the Local Development plan and "representations indicated that there needed to be far more reference to the need to deliver transport improvements across all modes to adequately mitigate new development as well as dealing with the issue of congestion in the eastern Vale of Glamorgan."
A report was also presented to the cabinet (November 19) on the progress of the community infrastructure levy (CIL) with work being undertaken in tandem with the preparation of the LDP and that it was envisaged that the LDP and the CIL inquiry could run concurrently during 2014.
As the strategy of the LDP is to remain the same, the allocations in the revised deposit LDP will have to be in the same towns and villages as the allocations in the first deposit plan but the main difference being after the introduction of the CIL every new housing consent will have to contribute to the as yet undefined cost of providing new infrastructure.
There are two problems with this. Firstly, as the strategy is not changing, the 4700 objections to the LDP deposit development sites will not be overcome.
Secondly the introduction of the CIL will not raise sufficient funds to carry out the necessary infrastructure improvements required to deliver the LDP strategy. The LDP Strategy concentrates growth in Barry and the south east of the Vale where the major infrastructure problems exist and where major improvements will be required to allow the scale of the new proposed development to proceed.
Major improvements required to Port Road and the junction of Culverhouse Cross alone would cost in excess of £60m. The Dinas Powys Bypass would cost approximately £50m and improvements to the road from Llantwit Major to the A48 including the Llysworney Bypass would be an additional £20m - in total, £130m which does not include the cost of improvements to the Merrie Harrier junction, the Five Mile Lane and improvements to other junctions in Barry and the surrounding area which were assessed as being at capacity when the Barry Waterfront proposals were being considered.
It should be noted that all of these schemes were excluded from the first deposit plan on the basis that funds would not be available to finance their implementation. In order to make the LDP Preferred strategy deliverable the revised deposit LDP would have to include these schemes and the £40m raised from the CIL would leave a shortfall of over £100mjust to carry out the necessary highway improvements.
As well as this, CIL will also have to include costs for other elements of infrastructure such as schools, community facilities and recreation and leisure facilities.
In considering the options that have been put forward, the committee report members should be looking to adopt an LDP that meets the needs of the whole of the Vale and not one that suits a particular party interest.
The committee report states that the strategy of the LDP is sound but this has yet to be tested and will not be until the LDP examination.
What is evident is that the implementation of the Strategy directed allocations in the first deposit plan to locations which were considered to be unacceptable in the adopted Vale Unitary Development Plan - a situation that will continue with the revised deposit LDP which is based on allocating sites according to the settlement hierarchy regardless of whether those settlements are constrained.
It will continue to require the allocation of large housing sites on greenfield sites of good agricultural land quality to the edge of major towns and villages throughout the Vale. For example, Llantwit Major and Cowbridge are likely to continue to contain new allocations yet in the UDP it was recognised that they had reached their limit of development. To satisfy the LDP strategy areas that were protected from the development in the UDP such as the Heritage Coast and the Undeveloped Coast are now proposed for development. Large housing sites are proposed in minor rural settlements in which the UDP restricted development in order to protect their character and integrity. The implementation of the LDP strategy will inevitably mean that the sound planning principles established in the UDP will be discarded.
Re-issuing a new deposit plan in several months time together with proposed CIL will not overcome these problems nor the concerns of the objectors to the deposit LDP.
There is an obvious solution to the dilemma which the council is faced with and that is reconsidering the allocation of Llandow airfield which was recommended by the UDP inspector.
Officers are reluctant to include it because it questions their previous recommendation to exclude it from the Preferred Strategy and also the bad feeling that was generated from the judicial review undertaken by the developers.
The judicial review was undertaken mainly because when the Preferred Strategy was reported to Cabinet, the report failed to inform members that the council's own consultants carried out their independent analysis of the site they concluded it was sustainable and should be included in the LDP. These views were not supported by officers and as the consultants were not prepared to alter their view their contract was terminated by the council.
Understandably the developers who had made a considerable investment in the scheme and had been informed by officers that if the council's consultants considered Llandow to be a sustainable option it would be recommended to be included in the Preferred Strategy, challenged the council's decision to exclude Llandow from the Preferred Strategy on the basis that the Cabinet could not make an informed decision as the officers had not provided all the relevant information to Cabinet.
It should be made clear that the judicial review was into the procedures that had been followed in preparing the LDP strategy and had nothing to do with the merits of the scheme which the judge stated was a matter for the LDP examination.
Members will be aware that the proposals for Llandow have gained a large amount of support from members of the local community who consider this option to be a much better one than the expansion of towns and villages. It has even been supported by Friends of the Earth.
There is no better opportunity in the Vale than allocating Llanndow which if implemented properly would provide a sustainable solution.
The new housing would be provided adjacent to the existing employment area which will be expanded and allow people to reduce journeys to work.
The site lies adjacent to the Vale of Glamorgan passenger railway line and one of the conditions of implementing the site should be the re-opening of the passenger station adjacent to it.
The development should also fund the provision of the Llysworney bypass and the road improvements from Llantwit Major to the A48 including the Pentre Meyrick roundabout. These infrastructure improvements have been costed and can be paid for by the developer either by S106 contributions or through CIL. Members will also be aware that there is a lot of support for the Llysworney Bypass which should be re-instated in the revised deposit LDP.
Members should therefore select an option which allows Llandow Newydd to be included in a revised deposit LDP. This may require re-consulting on a revised Preferred Strategy but at least such a revision would allow a significant amount of the required new housing to be accommodated in Llandow and make it unnecessary to include so many unpopular and controversial allocations in Barry, Penarth, Sully, Cowbridge, Llantwit Major, Wick and other rural villages.

The Franklin County Emergency Management Agency has completed a rewrite of its operations plan.
"This is a big step for the emergency management agency," said Franklin County Emergency Management Director Abe Cook. "It was a complete rewrite."
The plan could be applied to events such as natural disasters, accidents and terrorism, Cook said.
The Franklin County Commission recently adopted the new plan. Commissioner Tim Brinker agreed that the plan can cover a wide range of emergencies.
"This is not just for the bad guys of the world threatening us; this is (for) natural disasters, (too)," Brinker said. "These guys have a very thorough plan in place."
The new plan is more adaptable because it can be easily adjusted based on the size and scope of an event, Cook said.
Overall, the plan deals with the activation and coordination of emergency support functions such as, transportation, communications, public works/engineering, firefighting, emergency management, housing, logistics, public health, search and rescue, oil and hazardous materials response, agricultural and natural resources, energy and public safety.
It has been in the works for more than a year, Cook said, noting that public safety professionals in Franklin County and around the state were consulted.
The plan is on Franklin County's website on the "Emergency Management" page.

Republicans talking themselves out of existence
After reading a lot of the letters in the last year, I cannot help but remind the writers of some of those letters of the real facts.
The biggest pork barrel budget in the history of this country, was 2005 under a Repulican President, Congress and Senate. They just charge everything instead of paying for it.
Obama's proposed budget, according to the experts, was 737 billion dollars. McCain's proposed budget was over a trillion dollars.
As far as the shriekers--Rush Limbaugh, Shawn Hannity, Bill O'Rielly and all the other blow hards who lie like rugs-- let them rant and rave. To me they are a great part of why the Republicans find themselves a great minority instead of a great majority.
They need to listen to the people instead of trying to tell the people what to feel and how to think.
They are going to talk themselves out of exisitence.

Warren police officer struck by truck expected to recover
It happened at the intersection of 13 Mile and Hoover roads when a 2008 Dodge Ram truck hit officer Ken Hubert. He is expected to recover.
The driver of the truck is a 53-year-old Sterling heights resident. Witnesses told police Hubert, 29, was thrown in the air and landed on the roadway.
"I will never forget it, that scene will be with me forever," said Joel Klein, a witness. "I've never seen anyone get hit and go flying like that."
Hubert suffered leg injuries, cuts to the back of the head and a fracture to his face.
The traffic lights were malfunctioning due to Tuesday morning's storms, leading Hubert to directing traffic at the intersection.
Drivers say that Hubert was sent airborne.
"He flew about 5 to 10 feet," Klein said. "Flipped and it was just, wow."
Police say Hubert was awake and talking when he was taken to the hospital. The extent of his injuries is not known at this time, but police say he is expected to be okay.
The driver remained at the scene and is cooperating with the investigation. Alcohol does not appear to be a factor, according to investigators.
He told police that he through Hubert was waving him to go. He has not been charged yet.
"He appears to have gone through the intersection not paying attention to what was happening," said St. Matt Nichols. "He struck the officer as he was standing in the intersection."
Warren police is gathering camera video from around the incident scene.
Nichols said that witnesses rendered aid to the four-year veteran before help arrived.


text: So the other day I came across almost 10 rolls of Kodachrome 64 I still have. They've been in a freezer since they expired about 2 years ago. I'm afraid of messing up Caffenol and blowing up my house, and I heard D-76 might work, so I tried a quick clip test (10 shots) with my OM-2 and some (not fresh) ID-11. I shot it at ISO 50, and developed it for almost 10 minutes. I used water as a stop-bath (I'm going back to acid soon) and noticed the water came out brown-ish. I'm guessing this was the antihilation layer coming off? (I'm not that familiar with KR.) The white lines across the sides seem to be remnants of that layer. The film came out quite under-exposed, so perhaps shooting at a higher ISO and/or changing developing times would be in order? Next time I will definitely pre-wash, I think that'll eliminate any nasty stains. (I know there's a Flick group for KR in B&W chems on Flickr)

Review of Disconnect, Directed by Henry Alex Rubin
Disconnect gives us four stories about people growing estranged from one another and how they reach a breaking point, only to find that reconnection is still possible. The narrative struggles with the growing disconnectedness in an American society awash in social media and communication technologies; and this flood inundates both young and old alike.
The storyline is built around three families (Boyds, Dixons, and Hulls) and an odd couple. The Boyds are a "normal" nuclear family–Rich (Jason Bateman) and Lydia (Hope Davis) are married and have two teenage children Ben (Jonah Bobo) and Abby (Haley Ramm). Dinners are distracted as Ben and Rich remain glued to their cell phones. Rich is preoccupied with work while Ben is a loner at school.
Then enter the Dixons. Mike Dixon (Frank Grillo) is a single father raising Jason (Colin Ford) after his wife died. The father-son relationship is tense because Mike gave up his career in the police force to take care of his son, but Jason believes Mike holds this against him. Their interactions usually comprise of terse orders and rule enforcement. Jason is schoolmates with Ben Boyd and one day Jason and a sidekick decide to mess with this social outcast. They create a fake Facebook account for a fictional female student named Jessica Rhony who takes interest in Ben and eventually begins to flirt. This leads to a tragic end.
And the Hulls? Their young child recently passed away the marriage between Derek (Alexander Skarsgard) and Cindy (Paula Patton) falls apart–they grieve separately in their own way. Derek travels for work and gambles online into the night while Cindy finds an online support network and pours out her heart to a user named "fear&loathing". This couple is laid even lower when their banking information is stolen and all their savings disappear. They contact none other than Mike Dixon, now working as a detective, to help track down their cyber criminal.
Finally, we have our odd couple. Nina Dunham, a reporter, tries to break a big story to launch her career by interviewing Kyle about his employment in the cyber sex industry populated by underaged performers. The FBI tries to get Nina to reveal her source in order to crack down on this illegal exploitation of underaged teenagers. When Nina folds, Kyle is in trouble. The connection of this story with the other three is much more tenuous and isn't revealed until the end in an anticlimactic fashion.
Each story is crafted in such a way as to keep us immersed. When the movie shifted between each group of characters, at no time did I find the transitions jarring or find myself not having a vested interest in the outcome of all the narratives. Disconnect was directed in such a way that technology appeared in very explicit ways (as to be expected due to the film's themes); ways that will become more common in movies depicting everyday life. While Facebook chatting, the text was superimposed on the screen, which reminded me of House of Cards, which does the same thing when Frank Underwood texts on his cell phone. The motif in House of Cards had a similar thrust to Disconnect–our means of communication is transforming the way we live in drastic ways.
We don't need the abrasive effects of technology to teach us the harm of disconnection from relationships. The results have been noted generations ago. Just remember the ample research presented in Bowling Alone by Robert Putnam. We could pedal backwards much further to Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America, where he warns of an even greater threat–the disintegration of civil associations being the prelude to an expanding bureaucracy that institutes vertical relationships to the detriment of horizontal ones.
Although Disconnect portrays tragic vignettes of life in an America disconnected, it reaffirms the importance of relationships to the human experience. The endings are not all happy, but all the characters come to a realization that their relationships are the most important things they have, whether these relationships are healthy or not. Sadly, as Disconnect shows, it oftentime takes tragedies to reorient our lives and see what truly matters. This is our national experience. After 9/11 there was an outpouring of love for neighbor across the country. The same is unfolding in the aftermath of the Boston bombings–people opened their homes to out-of-towners unable to leave. At the same time, these national waves of civil strengthening will pass as the shock fades.
As society continues to drift toward a scenario where being disconnected is increasingly normal, the church must act as that faithful presence reminding those outside its walls of the primacy of relationship, both with God and with man. Our Lord himself posited that love of God and love of man are intertwined. As the church lives out its calling as a community, a people, a kingdom, of great diversity and supernatural unity, it displays God's glory to a watching and disconnected world. They will know we are Christians by our love.

A Mt. Airy woman has died nine days after being hospitalized following a crash in Damascus.
Billie Jo Wilson, 36, of Beck Drive, was pronounced dead at Baltimore Shock Trauma at approximately 10 p.m. Friday.
The initial accident occurred on the afternoon of August 29. Investigators say that Wilson was the driver of a Pontiac Grand Am that clipped the fender of an unmarked Montgomery County police vehicle while attempting to make a pass going north on Ridge Road (Route 27). Authorities say that after the Gram Am clipped the police vehicle, it crossed the southbound lane, went off the road, and struck a fence and a commercial building adjacent to a residence before eventually coming to rest on its roof.
Wilson's injuries were initially classified as non-life-threatening. Police have not released any specifics as to what injury caused Wilson's death. A passenger in the Grand Am, whose name has not been released, was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The cause of the accident is still under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call the Montgomery County Police Department's Collision Reconstruction Unit at (301) 840-2435.

In January, two journalists from the private bimonthly L'Evénement were fined 300,000 CFA francs (US$680) apiece and given two-month suspended prison terms over articles that raised questions about the role of President Blaise Compaoré's brother in the unsolved 1998 murder of editor Norbert Zongo. Director Germain Nama and Editor Ahmed Newton Barry appealed the conviction.
In April, several e-mail death threats forced outspoken journalist and free speech activist Karim Sama into hiding. The e-mail messages pressed Sama to stop criticizing the policies of the government during his two popular reggae programs on Radio Ouaga FM. One message warned that Sama would be "gunned down" like Zongo.
A month after resuming his program, Sama's BMW was set on fire outside the studios of Ouaga FM, according to the Media Foundation for West Africa and local journalists. The September 28 incident occurred while Sama was hosting his music program. A police investigation was launched, but no suspects were arrested.

General Question
Gasoline and skin - how dangerous?
Asked by elbanditoroso (22417) July 17th, 2012
I was at the gas station today filling up the little 2-gallon plastic container so I could refill my lawn mower's tank.
I looked up (at a passing fire engine) and the nozzle of the pump came partially out of the container – and sprayed on my arm and my left leg. I didn't have any means of wiping off the gas, so I drove home (about 3 minutes) and then got a wet towel and washed off my left arm and both legs.
Now (6 hours later) I see no damage to the skin. Did the exposure do anything serious?

Re: Cannot edit a SQL table without primary key in Access 2002 adp datesheets? Why?
Do you mean edit the data in the table? If that is the case, this is due to the fact that SQL needs to uniquly define each record before doing an editing.http://www.scirocco.ca/images/banner...occobanner.gif

The only designs that don't need a primary key are bad designs. Add one.If it's not practically useful, then it's practically useless.

Van bursts into flames at car dealership in Dudley
A van was left gutted and damage caused to a building at a car dealership after the vehicle suddenly burst into flames.
Fire crews from Brierley Hill were called to the T Wall Vauxhall garage, in Pensnett High Street, on Friday.
The van was owned by an independent trader who had come into the garage to carry out work on car tyres.
He had hooked up the van's electrics in preparation for the work and had gone into the garage to see what jobs he needed to do.
When he returned to the vehicle just minutes later it was already engulfed in flames.
Firefighters used breathing equipment and two hoses to put out the fire.
Although the flames did not spread to any buildings the heat was enough to cause damage to a nearby vehicle workshop causing lettering on a sign to melt.
Investigations are still being carried out into what caused the fire - although it is believed to be an electrical fault.
Watch commander Roy Whitehead, of Brierley Hill Fire Station, said it had been a serious fire.
"We are still not entirely sure what caused the van to set alight," he said.
"We think it was an electrical fault.
"No-one was hurt in the fire but there was some heat damage to one of the buildings.
"I ordered the garage be evacuated while the fire was put out."

Mauricio Pochettino insists he is happy at Saints and is not thinking about his long term future.
There seems to be constant speculation linking him with moves to other clubs following the excellent work he has done at Saints and the departure of Nicola Cortese as executive chairman.
Added to that mix is that Pochettino only has one further season after this to run on his current contract, and talks over a new deal have yet to start.
Pochettino was this week linked with Real Madrid but said: "You all know I am not one to speak about rumours, speak about unrealistic things, intangible things, so I really have no comment on that.
"I also don't like to talk about the future - I am not one to talk about the long-term future.
"Real Madrid are an amazing club, a great club and you never know what could happen in football, but at the moment I am really happy at Southampton and that is my present right now. Nothing else."
He added: "Of course it's very flattering for Southampton as a football club and also for our players because they are the ones on the pitch making us so great, so it is very flattering in that sense."
