This chapter contains the following topics:
Section 24.1, "Understanding Auto Suggest (Developers, System Administrators)"
Auto Suggest enables users to search for and filter text on fields where Auto Suggest is enabled.
When users type text in an Auto Suggest-enabled field, EnterpriseOne searches for one or more possible text matches and displays them in a grid beneath or beside the field. This immediate feedback enables users to stop typing an entire word or phrase, and instead, choose a record from the list that displays.
If Auto Suggest is enabled, users do not need to remember codes in order to search for, or enter, data in a field. Auto Suggest differs from Visual Assist in the following ways:
Auto Suggest can search for data in multiple tables and will return all records that match users' search criteria
Auto Suggest is faster, more efficient, and requires fewer mouse clicks.
Auto Suggest displays an arrow in all data items that are enabled for Auto Suggest.
Enabling Auto Suggest requires you to complete the following tasks:
Add an Auto Suggest feature
Enable a user/role/*PUBLIC to use the auto suggest feature defined in step 1 on EnterpriseOne forms.
To add an Auto Suggest feature:
Enter P958973 into the Fast Path. Or navigate through the following menus: EnterpriseOne Menus, EnterpriseOne Life Cycle Tools, System Administrative Tools, Runtime Feature Administration, and then select Runtime Feature Definitions.
The Work with Feature Definitions form displays.
Click Add.
The Runtime Feature Revisions form displays.
In the Feature Name field, enter the name for the Auto Suggest characterizations you are creating. This name needs to be unique.
Select the Auto Suggest from the Feature Type Drop-down menu.
Complete the following fields:
Data Item - this is the data dictionary item to which Auto Suggest will be applied. Auto Suggest is set on the data dictionary level, meaning that an Auto Suggest instance can be applied to all forms that have the particular data item.
No Auto Suggest - select this option to turn off Auto Suggest for a specified data item. This is useful when you need to enable Auto Suggest at a system code level. Additionally, select this option if you want to exclude some applications within the system code from using Auto Suggest.
Business View - select this option to choose an Auto Suggest business view for the data item. Auto Suggest Business Views are Business Views with a special property (Auto Suggest Business View). These business views include the value column, one or multiple search columns, and one or multiple display columns. EnterpriseOne includes Auto Suggest business views. You can use visual assist to search for and use any of the existing Auto Suggest business views. You can also create your own customized Auto Suggest business views. See Section 24.2.5, "Creating Auto Suggest Business Views"
Language Business View - select this option to choose a business view that contains translated descriptions for the data item.
Number of Characters Required - select this option to specify the minimal number of characters users must type in the field before the Auto Suggest feature is triggered. For a field that has a large number of potential values, you may want to use more characters. For a field with relatively small number of potential values, you can use 1 character or 2 characters.
Hot Key Required - select this option to specify whether or not the Auto Suggest feature will be triggered automatically. If Hot Key Required is turned off, the Auto Suggest feature will be trigger automatically. When users focus on a field with Auto Suggest turned on, they will see a gray down-arrow at the bottom-right corner of the field. As soon as the user types the required number of characters, the gray down-arrow will change depending on the Hot Key Required setting. If the Hot Key Required setting is turned off, the gray down-arrow pulses and EnterpriseOne automatically triggers the Auto Suggest feature and it displays the matching items automatically in a grid below the field. If the Hot Key Required setting is turned on, the gray down-arrow becomes blue, and the user must click on the blue down-arrow to trigger the Auto Suggest feature. After the user clicks on the blue down-arrow, EnterpriseOne then queries the suggested items and displays the matching items in a grid below the field. Requiring a hot key depends on the number of items in the field, as well as EnterpriseOne and database performances. Each Auto Suggest triggers an additional database query. If the field has a large number of items, and you want to limit the additional performance impact to your database, then you may set the Hot Key Required to ON. Otherwise, you may turn off Hot Key Required.
Click OK.
To enable the Auto Suggest feature
Type P958974 in the Fast Path. Or navigate through the following menus: EnterpriseOne Menus, EnterpriseOne Life Cycle Tools, System Administrative Tools, Runtime Feature Administration, and then select Runtime Feature Definitions.
Click Add.
You can also enable an existing Auto Suggest feature by selecting one from the grid and clicking Select.
Complete the following fields:
Environment Name - this is the environment where you want to enable an Auto Suggest feature defined in step 1.
User / Role or *Public - This is the user with whom you want to enable Auto Suggest defined in step 1.
Feature Name - This is the name of Auto Suggest defined in step 1.
Date Item - This field is automatically filled in once you enter the Feature Name.
Form Name - This is the form or forms in which you want to enable Auto Suggest named in Feature Name. Use *ALL for all forms.
Object Name - This is the application or applications in which you want to enable Auto Suggest named in the Feature Name. Use *ALL for all applications.
Product Code - This is the reporting system code or system codes in which you want to enable the Auto Suggest feature named in Feature Name. Use *ALL for all system codes.
There is one INI setting for Auto Suggest in the [Web Runtime] section on Server Manager:
[OWWEB] # The delay time in milliseconds before Auto Suggest search starts
This setting comes into play when the Hot Key Required setting is turned off. This is the time the user pauses after the user types the required number of characters, and before EnterpriseOne fetches the Auto Suggested items automatically.
After the power-user enables Auto Suggest feature or features for a user, the user can also turn off the auto suggest feature at a user level. This may be helpful with expert users who already know the codes and would like to complete data entry quickly without Auto Suggest.
An application developer can create or customize Auto Suggest business views using OMW.
To create Auto Suggest business views:
In OMW, create a Business View object and click the Auto Suggest check box.
Open the Auto Suggest business view in Business View Design Aid.
Select the table or table joins you want to use in the Business View Design Aid. This is the table or tables where the system will search for the user typed items.
The first column of the Auto Suggest business view must contain the value that EnterpriseOne adds to the field after the user selects an Auto Suggested record. This value is typically the actual code or value of the field (for example, the AN8 column should be the first column in the Address Book Auto Suggest business view).
For the rest of the business view columns, there are three special Auto Suggest properties that you need to select:
Search Field - Select this option for the columns where you want the Auto Suggest system to search. EnterpriseOne searches in this field for the text the user typed. For example, for AN8, the "Alpha Name" field may be the search field if you would like the system to search what the user typed in the Alpha Name column.
Display Field - Select this column for the columns where you want the system to display as the system brings up the recommended items. For example, for an Address Book field, you may include the Address as Display Field to help users select the proper record.
Language Code - Select this option if the column contains the language code. The system will match the user's language preference with data in this column to display translated records.

The scramble for positioning in U.S. youth soccer's rapidly-evolving landscape took another turn on Friday morning, as a pack of highly-regarded travel clubs from coast to coast announced their plans to compete in a national league for elite boys teams called the Boys Club Championship.
The participating clubs, which purport to be 24 in number thus far and include nationally-recognized outfits like Fullerton Rangers, Slammers FC (both Southern California), Gwinnett Soccer Association of the Atlanta area, Michigan's Waza FC, Cincinnati-based club Ohio Elite and FC Virginia, whose president and technical director, Terry Foley, is named as the president of the new organization.
"Outside of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy, there was not a platform for strong boys clubs to compete at a high level nationally," said Foley in a press release. "We feel the BCC will give these clubs the competition they desire on a regular basis. The success of the BCC will be the quality of competition across all age groups."
Though Foley's release refers only generically to an "inaugural national equipment sponsor," sources with knowledge of the situation tell SoccerWire.com that the sponsor in question is Puma, the German-based apparel giant which is apparently mulling a bigger push in a U.S. youth market dominated by Nike and Adidas.

Other corporate sponsors are likely to be announced in the weeks ahead, and will be needed if the BCC's members are to sustain a national footprint and its attending travel costs. Though clubs will be sectioned into four regional divisions – and SoccerWire.com has learned that a 16-game regular season is planned, with 10 games played regionally, plus 3-game stretches at two major national college showcase events, including the Las Vegas Players Showcase, and another yet to be named.
The first year of competition will consist of the under-15 through under-18 age groups, with it being left to the member clubs how rigorous a schedule the under-18 groups would play, and also if they wished to organize "pre-BCC" competition for their younger ages.
Foley, an Englishman has also managed women's professional and pro-am clubs in WPS and W-League, is being assisted in this venture by Tim Lesiak, the executive director of Ohio Elite and the vice president of the BCC.
"Our philosophy has always been to test our players against the other top clubs and players across the country," said Lesiak, calling the new league "a forward-thinking group" in a statement.
"Our boys teams are highly competitive and the BCC gives us a consistent, competitive platform against similar clubs from different parts of the country."
+ READ: Terry Foley reveals big plans, calls out naysayers at FC Virginia Open House
The release also names LA Premier, Albion SC (both California), Birmingham United Soccer Association (Ala.), Tennessee SC, Maryland United and FC Bucks (Pa.) among the clubs committed for year one of the BCC, which will begin play this fall – though Foley says there are still places available for interested clubs.
Intriguingly, the BCC will be sanctioned not by the traditional such bodies, US Youth Soccer or U.S. Club Soccer, but by the USSSA, a multi-sport sanctioning body which has worked with U.S. Soccer since 2001 but was originally founded as a softball organization.
Taking this route would appear to offer BCC members maximum flexibility when it comes to roster construction, as teams and players already registered in US Youth and/or U.S. Club competitions would thus not see their participation options limited as a result. Due to USSSA's involvement, the new organization also will not be permitted to use the term "league" in referring to itself, presumably due to USSSA's contractual terms with other soccer entities.
The BCC expects to formally name their national sponsor in the coming days or weeks, as well as release the names of additional member clubs.

TEACHERS have vowed to continue industrial action after talks about a new pay deal with the Baillieu Government broke down this morning.
Australian Education Union state president Mary Bluett said teachers were prepared to accept a 4-4.2 per cent annual increase over three years but the government wouldn't budge from its 2.5 per cent offer.
Teachers initially demanded a 10 per cent rise.
"We have walked out," Ms Bluett said.
"What we've got is a government that is absolutely paralysed and incapable of negotiating."
Premier Ted Baillieu promised to make Victorian teachers the highest paid in the country before winning office.
Ms Bluett said the union's offer would have made Victorian teachers the nation's second-highest paid behind Western Australia.
It was also willing to stagger the rise to help balance the government's books.
"It was a significant move - it was made in good faith," Ms Bluett said.
"The offer that we put was an outcome for principals, teachers and support staff in-line with the police deal - a deal this government has already done with part of its workforce and not the workforce it promised to make the highest paid.
"We indicated last week that our frustration was growing and that in the event there wasn't an indication of good faith from the government there was no point in having further discussions."
Treasurer Kim Wells said the government was standing by its offer including the introduction of performance-based pay.
''We encourage the teachers to come back to the negotiating table so we can have a fair outcome and a good outcome for the students of Victoria,'' he said.
Teachers, principals and school support staff will resume rolling half-day stoppages from Tuesday while a statewide stoppage is planned for February 14.
A ban on teacher comments in student reports will also continue.
"It is now leaving it far too late for any resolutions," Ms Bluett said.
The government has been contacted for comment.

Five on Friday - Zoë Sharp
It's Friday!! And I was up waaaaaaay too late last night finishing Dennis Lehane's LIVE BY NIGHT. Oh my, more on that later. Anyway, I'm getting a very late start to my blog today because of it, but I'd still like to take care of a little housekeeping:
I was flabbergasted to be invited to participate in Shotsblog's celebration of BOOKS TO DIE FOR's UK publication. They invited bloggers and reviewers and such to share their books to die for--the other contributors are high caliber crime fiction folks, not sure how I managed to luck into this, but you can read about my choice here. I don't think you'll be surprised!
The Criminal Element folks have two contests going on that you might be interested in: one for Louise Penny's new Armand Gamache novel, THE BEAUTIFUL MYSTERY, and one for Hank Phillippi Ryan's new book that kicks off her new series--THE OTHER WOMAN. Both have been receiving gads of praise, so if you'd like to try to win a copy, head on over to Criminal Element. (But be sure to come back!!)
Bouchercon is just about a month away now. I have confirmation of the panel I will be moderating, so I can share that info with you now. If you're going to be at Bouchercon, I hope you'll drop in. It should be a very entertaining panel!!
The panel is called OLD FRIENDS, NEW FRIENDS and it will feature Chris Grabenstein, Jeff Cohen, Parnell Hall, Mary Jane Maffini, and Libby Fischer Hellmann. We'll be performing...I mean presenting...at 9am on Friday. Hope you can make it.
Speaking of conferences. I just signed up for next year's Left Coast Crime in Colorado Springs. This will be the first time at this conference for me. Anyone else planning to attend?
Here's a fun article about categories of book readers. Although, I don't actually fit into any of them. I said I would need a new category...the OCD reader: I usually read one at a time, but I most definitely buy and have more than one at a time. My books are all over the place, but I don't damage them (except I write notes in the margins). I show signs of the delayed onset reader but only because I've already got 50 books ahead of the one I just bought. I get anxious if I'm not reading and I can't keep myself from buying more...so OCD sounds about right, doesn't it?
Whoever created THIS infographic didn't have all their info. See anything wrong with it?
O.k. that's enough housekeeping let's get on to the main event, right?
Zoë Sharp is another crime fiction author I've been wanting to profile here at the blog. She's absolutely fascinating. I was going to refer to her as Dirty Harriet until last night's performance from Dirty Harry. Oh my. So, let's just say she's a force to be reckoned with...and I wouldn't want to be the one reckoning. At last year's Bouchercon she contributed shooting lessons to the auction!
In all seriousness she's just an amazing woman; she has duel talents in this art world: she's a wonderful writer and an incredible photographer as well. Hmmmm, I wonder if she would consider giving me photography lessons. Every other Thursday you can find her blogging at the Murderati blog. And to top it all off, she's an incredible nice person.
Zoë's writing (both novels and short stories) features Charlotte "Charlie" Fox, a tough, no-nonsense gal. In Zoë's early books Charlie is a self-defense instructor, but as the series progresses she goes to work with a "close protection agency." She's a bodyguard.
It is my distinct pleasure to welcome the multi-talented Zoë Sharp:
The last movie I saw was Battleship. I know, I know, not very highbrow going to see a movie based on a Hasbro game, is it? But they actually have a good story going on behind the scenes, nice dialogue and some well thought-out characters. A thoroughly good yarn!
The most famous person I ever met was: Hmm, there have been quite a few, most of whom didn't impress me much. The exception was probably Nick Mason from Pink Floyd. I spent a little time driving round Goodwood race circuit with him back when I was a photojournalist, and I found him an interesting and thoroughly down-to-earth guy. He even offered me the keys to his Aston Martin Zagato, but then it started sleeting and I chickened out … dammit!
If I had to be stranded on a desert island with only one other person it would be Ray Mears because he's the most amazing survival expert and I'd rather not starve to death or eat something poisonous inside the first week. Hey, I may be foolish, but I'm not stoopid :)
My favorite kind of cookie is Mrs Fields' Molasses cookies. Can't get them over here so I have to either make my own or indulge myself when we're over in the States. No good for dunking in a cup of tea, though ― they haven't got the structural rigidity needed. For that I'd go for Café Noir biscuits, or a good old plain McVities' Digestive.
The #1 item on my bucket list right now is going to Ankhor Wat in Cambodia. I've been fascinated with the place for years. And ideally I'd like to get there on one of the off-road motorcycle tours where you ride to it through the jungle.
O.k. now tell me this woman is not fascinating! And she'll be at this year's Bouchercon as well, so if you're going be sure to look her up!
Many thanks to Zoë for her time and super wonderful responses. I'm hoping we see more of Zoë around the blog in the near future.
Have a great holiday weekend everyone and happy reading!!

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Take Stock in Children, Miami, FL, USA
I first learned about the program Take Stock in Children when there would be an occasional article in the local paper. I had been wanting to keep active in the school setting since I am a retired teacher so chose this program. I liked the idea of having the opportunity to work with the same student all the way through high school. I started seeing my student, Jose Vanegas, last year at Oak Park Middle School in Leesburg. The first thing that impressed me about Jose were his good manners. I was so surprised when he opened the door for me the first time we walked into the library together. We decided to work on his writing skills which worked out very nicely. I learned so much about him through his writing. I guess I would have to say that one of the highlights of last year was when Jose had to choose several books to read followed by passing a test. He immediately told me that he always chooses a book with the fewest pages plus he usually didn't read the whole book. I had to laugh at that one! The first book he chose was actually a classic. I told him that I was going to read it too so be ready to discuss it the following session. The first thing Jose did was pull a paper out of his binder and hand it to me. He had already taken the test and got an A. It was exciting to see him so proud because as a rule Jose doesn't show much emotion. I'm happy to say that Jose wanted to continue being my student at Leesburg High School so I am in the process of becoming familiar with the school just like Jose. I feel like the program is very beneficial and I am pleased to be a part of it. Joan Kulikovskis

Imagine what the apostle Paul experienced – "At my first defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me" (II Timothy 4:16).
No one? Everyone deserted him?
How could it be?
Paul was one of the primary Christian leaders at this time. He had led many to Christ and planted numerous churches. He spoke of many meaningful relationships in the Churches.
He also sacrificed greatly on behalf of many people. He was a teacher and an apostle of the Church. And yet no one came to his support? Everyone deserted him?
How could so many abandoned Paul in his time of need?
Think about it. No one cared enough to show up.
Have you ever been forgotten?
How does it feel to be forgotten and deserted?
Paul could have said, "Well, Well, I guess I'll think twice before I sacrifice myself for these people." "After all I've done for them, this is how I get treated?" "I guess I now know how much I am appreciated!"
It's natural to feel self-pity and resentment when we've been forgotten and unappreciated. It's super-natural to respond as Paul did. Paul chose forgiveness over resentment when he said, "May it not be held against them."
And then he told of a special visitor who came to his aid. "But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength,…" (II Timothy 4:17).
If Paul had chosen resentment toward those who had deserted him, it's unlikely that he would have been able to detect the Lord's presence with him. A bitter heart cannot experience the strengthening presence of the Lord. Paul would have pushed away from the Lord if he had allowed his heart to be controlled by self-pity and resentment.
In the footsteps of the Savior
Perhaps Paul's experience is not so strange to the Christian life. Maybe it's even a required course in the curriculum for followers of Christ.
Those who follow Christ are called to identify with him in his sufferings (I Peter 2:21) and to fill up in the flesh the sufferings of Christ (Colossians 1:24). Perhaps this life will require some experiences like the ones the Savior endured for us.
Jesus was deserted by his own disciples.
- "A time is coming and in fact has come when you will be scattered, each to your own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me" (John 16:32).
- "On the way, Jesus told them, 'Tonight all of you will desert me. For the Scriptures say, 'God will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered'" (Matthew 26:31).
Gethsemane experience.
"All those who journey, soon or late, Must pass within the garden's gate; Must kneel alone in darkness there, And battle with some fierce despair. God pity those who cannot say, Not mine but thine, who only pray, Let this cup pass, and cannot see The purpose in Gethsemane" (Ella Wheeler Wilcox).
It hurts to be forgotten and deserted. But when faced with such experiences, we multiply our pain if we choose bitterness over forgiveness. We also push away from the presence of the one who said, "…surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age" and "I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you'" (Matthew 28:20; Hebrews 13:5).
Reflect on these words
"Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord will hold me close" (Psalm 27:10).

Thoughts on our list?
April 16th, 2014 06:29 PM #3
These are my favorites: (I think as long as you don't use both Rose names two out of three of these could make a nice sibset).
Genevieve Rose
Hazel Vivienne
Alice Rosemarie
Lily Alice - this is the only short-short combo I sort of like. Though the more I say it the more it feels like it's a misprint/typo of of something like Cialis or some other sort of medication - I think it's the -EE ending coupled with the Ah- beginning. Maybe Lily Elise or Lily Eloise would work for you - they keep the feel of the original name for me without the medication sound. (Actually I kind of love Lily Eloise despite it's l heaviness.)
Maya Grace - nice, sweet but a little boring maybe.
Ivy Celine - I think I'd prefer Ivy Celina but regardless this is pretty.
Cara Vienne - I dislike Vienne I think Cara Vivienne would be really beautiful though.
Isobel Carys - I really like Isobel but Carys leaves me cold.
Eden Rachel - Eden is nms, regardless I think you have better combos on your list.
I like all the names in the combo but I don't like these combos because I find two plant names together weird:
Violet Sage, and Olivia Rose
I dislike how short the names in these combos are it gives the combo a bit of a choppy feel to me:
Nina Iris and Eva LilyLittle Lorelei - May 2016Endora - Freya - Merida - Viola - Zelda
Dexter - Felix - Gideon - Hendrik - Victor

Alice Rosemarie- I don't like Rosemarie... However, I LOVE Rosemary (I know, odd). Rosemary just has all the herbal connotations and seems more wholesome. Rosemary Alice is nice.
Nina Iris- I adore Iris, and Nina is a very sweet, pretty name. The only reason I don't like Nina is because of a few Nina's I have known... This obviously doesn't effect you, so I would say it is a great name.
Ivy Celine- I LOVE this name, two of my very favourite names. Just a warning though: Celine is a brand name (albeit with an accent: Céline), so you may want to spell it Celene/Selene. Celeste is beautiful too.
Eden Rachel- Love Eden (my sisters name), but not that fond of Rachel. It flows, but I just don't love it as a name... It just seems a little flat. Eden Iris, Eden Alice, Eden Sage and Eden Cara are all nice.
Cara Vienne- Beautiful name.
Isobel Carys- I love the name Carys, but personally, I am a bit over Isobel, as it is very very popular, even with this spelling. It is still a lovely name though. Carys Celine is nice.
Genevieve Rose- Genevieve is one of my very favourite names. Lovely combo.
Hazel Vivienne- Beautiful, very classy.
Violet Sage- I love this, it has such a wholesome, fragrant feel to it.
Overall, you have amazing taste in names: whatever you pick will be absolutely beautiful.

Eva Lily - both of these names are lovely, but if you say it quickly, you could get Evil-ily. What about Lillian Eva?
Alice Rosemarie - beautiful and timelessly classic
Lily Alice - this is sweet.
Maya Grace - pretty
Nina Iris - Nina feels a little dated, but these two names work together
Ivy Celine - together, this reminds me of an I.V with saline solution. A really hospitally image. Both names are gorgeous, but maybe not together?
Eden Rachel - nice!
Cara Vienne - sounds like Caribbean if you say it quickly
Isobel Carys - lovely
Genevieve Rose - nice, but Rose feels overdone in the middle.
Olivia Rose - with Olivia being so popular, and Rose being so common a mn, I'd skip this combo. Perhaps Olivia Sage?
Hazel Vivienne - love this!
Violet Sage - too much nature
Other combinations I like from your list: Ivy Genevieve, Olivia Celine, Maya Isobel, Olivia Violet, Iris Vivienne
Girls - Jane - Eleanor - Matilda - Caroline - Rosalind - Beatrix
Boys - Arthur - Desmond - Edmund - Edwin - Frederick

King and Friends Science Olympiad
- King School students and "friends" in grades 2 to 6 can participate in Science Olympiad.
- Team practices are held weekly (on Sundays) starting Sunday, January 22, 2017, and ending with the King and Friends Science Olympiad, Award Ceremony and Potluck on Sunday, March 5, 2017.
View this year's photo gallery
What is Science Olympiad?
Science Olympiad is a national program in which students learn science through active, hands-on participation, with an emphasis on problem solving and team-building skills. Students participate in events designed to be fun, exciting, and challenging. Some events require knowledge of science facts and concepts, while others rely on knowledge of scientific processes, skills or applications; therefore, students with varying abilities and skills can participate. The team spirit and good citizenship that students develop will be benefit them throughout their lives.
Who can participate?
Every King student, former King students, and friends from neighboring areas in grades 2 to 6 are eligible to practice for up to four events. It is fun and like being in a science club. Students are encouraged to sign up to practice for more than one event.
Where and when will practices be held?
- Team practices will take place weekly (on Sundays) from January 22nd through March 5th.
- Event practices will be held in 45-60 minute intervals on Sunday afternoons (2:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.) at The University of Akron in the Goodyear Polymer Center (GDYR) building.
- Two or more events will practice simultaneously.
- Sunday, March 5th includes the final competition and potluck awards celebration.
How do students sign up?
A parent or guardian must:
- Register online at https://akron.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_9ZyFOiKkXmpFlkh
- Fill out the printable PDF registration form and return it to email@example.com or the King CLC office, ATTN: Janet Black, by Wednesday, January 18, 2017 for priority registration.
Text or call Janet Black at 330-631-4846 or Email her at email@example.com
Who are the coaches?
Coaches are parents, older siblings, and community members who have volunteered to teach students the rules and scientific concepts for their respective events, along with problem solving and team-building skills.
What do parents/guardians need to do?
Science Olympiad is made possible through the volunteer efforts of parents and community members. In the descriptions below, we need assistant coaches where TBA is noted. You may also volunteer to assist in planning the potluck or to help while sessions are being held.
2017 Science Olympiad Event Descriptions (grades 2-3)

THE ROSTY HORROR TAX B1 LL SHOWH ouse Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dan Rostenkowski, fondly known as "Rosty," has labored hard to draft a tax bill. In so doing, he has produced a horror. it differ s significantly from the tax reform principles embodied in Ronald Reagan's proposal and is unacceptable to those committed to economic growth, job creation, and a more competitive U.S. economy. It dilutes the Reagan plan's marginal rate cuts, raises the c o st of capital to business, reduces savings incentives, and fails even to achieve much simplification. At a time of growing concern about America's ability to compete in the world, the Committee bill imposes new-tax burdens on U.S. industry, commerce, and entrepreneurs. The bill achieves neither fairness, growth, nor simplicity. Its-most serious flaws are: 1) Tax Rates on Individuals. The bill establishes a higher top rate than that proposed by Reagan--38 percent vs. 35 percent. And. Americans, under the Co mmittee bill, will move into higher brackets sooner at lower thresholds than under the Reagan proposal. This means that marginal tax rates will be higher for virtually all taxpayers under the Ways and Means bill. Since it is the marginal tax rate that is most significant in terms of incentives,. this is the- most serious problem with the bill.
Joint Returns, Taxable IncomeRate Ways and Means Reagan Proposal 15 percent up to $22,500 up to $29,000 25 percent $22,500 - $43,000 $29,000 - $70,000 35 percent $43,000 - $100,000 above $70,000 38 percent above $100,000 2) The Extra Bracket. The addition of an extra top rate of 38 percent makes little economic sense, since very little revenue will be
generated by it.- It seems that it was added solely to appeal to those still interested in the symbols of wealth redistribution.
3) Corporate Rates, The bill would set a higher corporate tax rate than the Reagan plan: e6 percent vs. 33 percent. Higher corporate tax rates simply mean higher taxes on capital. 4) S tate and Local Tax Deduction. The bill would retain full deductibility of state and local taxes; the Reagan proposal would eliminate it. Retaining deductibility forces taxpayers in low-tax states to subsidize those in high-tax state and forces low-income taxpayers to subsidize high-income taxpayers. Retention of deductibility encourages excessive spending and taxation at the state and local level. Eliminating or scaling back this deduction would allow tax rates to be scaled back as well.
5) De2reciation. Schedules for depreciation of plant and equipment are lengthened from the Reagan proposal, in which they already are longer than current law in most cases. Indexing of depreciation is also eliminated, thus making firms again vulnerable to inflation-generated. tax increases. The affect is to raise the cost of capital, slow growth and investment, and reduce American competitiveness.
6) Capital Gains.'The bill would raise the maximum tax rate on long-term capital gains from the current 20 per cent to 22 percent, significantly above the 17.5 percent rate proposed by Reagan. Evidence. strongly indicates that the 1978 and 1981 capital gains tax cuts strongly encouraged growth and investment and, in fact, increased tax revenue. This suggests that the bill may lose, rather than raise, revenue.
7) Minimum Tax.. The bill sets a higher minimum tax rate.than proposed by Reagan--25 percent vs. 20 percent--and greatly expands the number of tax preferences subject to the tax. The result will be an erosion of investment incentives,. higher taxes on capital,. and increased complexity in the tax law.
8) Personal Exemption. The $2,000 personal exemption was a cornerstone of the Reagan proposal, designed to relieve some of the tax burden on families. The Ways a nd Means measure would permit the $2,000 exemption only for those who do not itemize their tax retiirns; itemizers could take only a $1,300 exemption.
9) Savings Incentives. The bill reduces savings incentives, especially 401K plans. Yet the U.S. needs more saving, not less.
10) Research and DeveloRment. The R&D tax credit would be scaled back, with a very damaging impact on U.S. high technology industries.

"Ki bwa li ye, bwa sa; ki bwa li ye, bwa sa," sang euphoric young men and women, floating in a sea of people embarked on a lengthy pilgrimage to unity. At the end of the unprecedented grassroots movement in Northern city Ouanaminthe — Kita Nago — a half-ton tree trunk that symbolizes Haiti, would have, on the back of Haitian men and women, traveled 700 kilometers (some 435 miles) from the country's Southern peninsula to its Northeastern coast, sweeping through every city on its path.
Mobilizing Haitians behind a common goal, Kita Nago entered Haitian capital Port-au-Prince 14 days after its modest Les Irois launch on Jan 1, 2013, collecting thousands upon thousands of jubilant believers along the way, generating waves of media coverage that reached all corners of the country and even spilled beyond its borders. The buzz surrounding Kita Nago even provoked an official visit from President Michel Martelly and his wife, Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe, Haiti's specialized units and an invitation to the Haitian Senate, where originator Harry Nicolas who many referred to as Met Fey Vet revealed his lifelong aspirations, launching the movement that rapidly grew into a social tsunami that swept one city after another.
"Since I was 20 years old," admitted Nicolas to senators during his short visit to the upper house, "I wanted to take something from one extreme of the country to another extreme of the country without spending a penny," a project he said skeptics thought was too grandiose or ambitious. As Nicolas explained to his impressed audience, the stigmas and gross mischaracterizations that hovered over Haitianism haunted him for years. "So I asked my self, what could I do, what could I do," he said, seeking ideas that would help dispel the negative connotations associated to Haitianism.
His answer, discovered the self-described nationalist and environmentalist, resided in the irony of Kita Nago, a term Haitians commonly used to express an inability or unwillingness to move. "When referring to the state of the country," reiterated Nicolas, "People often say we will not make 'you pa Kita, you pa Nago'," meaning Haiti would never budge or make any progress. A firm believer in Haiti's capabilities, Nicolas said the country can make "you pa Kita and you pa Nago." Taking that negative proverb Haitians use to said that Haiti would never move forward, the visionary wanted to prove that, like their ancestors and Founding Fathers, his brethren could again control their destiny. "We wanted to challenge ourselves," said the new national hero. "Hence, we made
'you pa Kita' in Les Irois on January first and we will make 'you pa Nago' in Ouanaminthe." One senator even admitted breaking down in tears when he witnessed the multitudes following Kita Nago. "Haitians still believed, in spite of it all," he said.
Once Kita Nago conclude its 435-mile journey, every Haitian must plant a tree, according to Nicolas, plans that coincided with Cap-Haitien's 2013 Carnival theme: "One Haitian, one tree, let's make it happen."
Nevertheless, while the grand initiative should help derail Haiti's run away deforestation train, it will not be Kita Nago's lasting impression, argued Nicolas who, in his own words, spelled it out for journalists attending his press conference:
"If we can voluntarily, that is to say –without being told to or paid—carry and transport this tree trunk, weighing about half a ton from Les Irois to Port-au-Prince, then to Ouanaminthe, there will no longer be a shadow of a doubt that if we get together in the spirit of our national motto 'There is Strength in Unity,' we can actually change Haiti."

To study the effectiveness of anaerobic coverage in prevention of postpartum endometritis in women undergoing nonelective cesarean sections, we conducted a randomized prospective double-blind study of women undergoing cesarean sections and requiring antibiotic prophylaxis from April 1, 1989, through December 31, 1990. Ninety-four patients were enrolled in the study. Forty-five patients received ampicillin alone and 46 received ampicillin in conjunction with sulbactam. All patients were evaluated prior to surgery and in the postoperative period. Ninety-one patients completed the study and their records were analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups depending on the presence or absence of ruptured membranes. Seventy-five percent of patients had ruptured membranes. Failure of prophylaxis and subsequent endometritis was documented in 8.8% of patients who received ampicillin and sulbactam and 35.3% of patients who received ampicillin alone. This difference was statistically significant (p < 0.02). In conclusion, single-dose ampicillin and sulbactam provides better prophylaxis than single-dose ampicillin in women undergoing cesarean section with rupture of membranes.

20-year-old Selena Gomez, most known for her singing and acting career, has recently released a new single called Come and Get It. As the video premiere for the song approaches, the song has created a screeching buzz throughout the United States.
The Ester Dean written track has already been featured on multiple CBS radio stations. Jason Kidd, the program director, asked WPGC's DJ Flexx to produce a gogo version of the hit. In a quick turnaround, DJ Flexx enlisted 4DC Music Group and Matthew Shell to help put together the track. The song has already become the new rave of the city.
Washington, DC is home to gogo music, premiering major artists such as Chuck Brown, Rare Essence, EU, Backyard Band and more. Gogo made its debut in the nation's capital in the mid 1960s and has remained an integral part of the region's culture.
Check out the gogo version of Selena Gomez's Come and Get It record below. Produced by WPGC's own DJ Flexx.

Edit Article
wikiHow to Play Roblox Warrior Cats
This article explains how to play Warrior Cats on Roblox. You should certainly read at least 3 Warriors books by Erin Hunter before playing, though.
1Create a realistic cat. You can do this by either selecting what cat (Apprentice, Kit, Warrior) or just painting the morph. Browns, blacks, whites, light oranges, etc., are good colors to choose. Players may get annoyed if you use neon green, pink, and so on, though.
2Name your cat. You can go on a name generator, or just think of one yourself. Some examples for Warriors are Blossomwhisker, Blackbird, Grayheart, Darkpool, etc. Some Apprentice names are Bramblepaw, Cherrypaw, Whitepaw, and Nutpaw. Kit names are Applekit and Birdkit.
3Add some adjectives to your cat's name. E.g. Nutpaw (She, Smart, Shy) or Nutpaw (TCAS).
4Add an eye colour. If you don't, you will look like a noob.
5Choose a Clan to join. ThunderClan is usually the most popular clan.
6Eat! Watch your hunger bar.
7Role play. You can role play like this: "I jump at the crow, biting it on the neck and killing it swiftly, *Purrs*, and Crowheart climbed the tree, chasing a squirrel. She caught it. "Great," Crowheart meowed.
8"123" for a kit! You can also go into the lobby and say, 123 for a kit! If someone says 123, they will come to the lobby and paint you. You will be their kit.
Community Q&A
What is the purpose of the claws? Can players kill with them?wikiHow ContributorThe purpose of the claws is to roleplay with claws unsheathed. For example, if there were to be an intruder on your Clan's territory, you would attack them with the claws. But it doesn't actually kill them. They just have to pretend they died.
Are there still dog fights?wikiHow ContributorYou can't morph into a dog, although you can color your cat morph to look like a dog, and ask others in the chat to join you. Tell the clans there will be a dog pack roaming, and see if they agree.
What happens when your hunger bar is empty?wikiHow ContributorYour game will reset and you will have to recreate your character and everything.
What is that Roblox game called?wikiHow ContributorThere are two versions. "Warrior Cats: Forest Territory" is more updated and has better role players. "Warrior Cats: New Lake Territory" is less updated and full of newbies. Go to "Forest Territory" to role play, and go to "Lake Territory" to watch the newbies try to RP.
How do I talk in Roblox Warrior Cat when no box comes up?wikiHow ContributorLook at the top left corner, and click the rectangle box with lines and an arrow-like thing in it. That opens chat. Click the gray, long, rectangular box. Type in whatever you would like.
How can I drop items such as food?wikiHow ContributorWhile holding the designated item just press the back space.
I was roleplaying as an evil rogue, but people were kicking me and ignoring me for acting like my character acts. Why?RAinbowCatsWhen you're roleplaying as a evil rouge, you can't be too evil. It depends on what you're doing. Are you killing cats for no reason? Are you overpowering yourself? Those things usually really agitate people. But just stealing prey and starting unnecessary fights is fine.
How do I color the ear tufts on iPad and other handheld devices?wikiHow ContributorJust open the morph menu and tap on the "ear tufts" button and you should be able to color them.
Can I go to Star Clan?wikiHow ContributorYes, just click Star Clan on the map, and it will teleport you there.
How do you paint others?RAinbowCatsYou'll usually see a bucket in your tool bar, click it. Pick a color from the box on the bottom left of your screen. Then mouse over someone and click on them. (Some body parts are hard to color, like the chest.)
Unanswered Questions
What do I do if my username isn't accepted in Roblox?
Ask a Question
200 characters leftSubmit
- Don't paint other players! They will get very annoyed and possibly kick you.
- You can kick players by saying kick/their username.
- Only use natural colors on your cat. If you use something like neon, that wouldn't be a good idea since cats aren't neon.
- Don't roleplay with noobs. Their names will be things like: Snowy Cutest of all!
- Avoid players with paint cans outside of the lobby. They might paint you.
- People seem to believe that characters with very detailed morphs and have fancy names are better roleplayers. If your cat isn't like this, you might be called a noob.

Legal Question in Immigration Law in Illinois
My Initial OPT was expired in JAN 2013 and Application for STEM OPT got DENIED recently MY H-1B is approved.I am currenly working.
What are my Options now:
Do I qualify for Cap-Gap
Can I legally stay in U.S if I don't have my work permit as my H1-B is approved and will start from OCT-1-2013.
Please let me know asap.
I will really appreciate your quick response.
1 Answer from Attorneys
Although you should be asking these questions to the Attorney who filed the H-1B on behalf of your prospective H-1B employer, I can tell you that you are covered by the "cap-gap" & can remain here legally. However, since your OPT expired in January & your extension was denied, you should not be working, The DSO at your school, as well as your prospective employer's Attorney, should have discussed this with you. If not, I highly recommend that you speak with them both at this time.

Follow the approach description on the main page.
Route Description
This route should be used if you are looking to make a faster ascent than would be possible on the trail. Because you'll be cutting across the ski mountain, it won't be as scenic of a hike, or even not possible in the winter months. From the parking lot at the trailhead, walk down the road toward the base of the ski mountain. From here, there are 2 routes. You may go up the steepest run that is in front of you, Capitan, for a direct route, or you may continue down the parking lot untill you reach Elk Lodge and travel out of the ski area for a route-finding direction. The Capitan route, though steeper, will be the quicker of the 2 routes. After reaching the top of the Captian ski run, follow the Game Trail (a blue) untill it reaches the clearing at the top of the Apache Bowl. Once here, angle towards Sierra Blanca and cross the fence, finding the route with the least up and down travel between there and the base of the peak. Once you reach the large boulder field in your path, begin angeling toward the east of the peak and the couloir you will use to reach the summit ridge. There is no trail to the base, so use your best route finding to get there. Along the way you will cross numerous elk trails, so don't let those lead you astray. On the Eastern ridge of Sierra Blanca, there is a main group of 3 couloirs. The center one is what you should aim for. Once you've reached the base, take the short scramble to the top, then walk over to the summit. Look in the pictures section for descriptions of the route in photo form.
Essential Gear
Appropriate clothing, and bad weather gear in case an afternoon thunderstorm rolls in. As always, carry more water than you think you'll need.
Miscellaneous Info
If you have information about this route that doesn't pertain to any of the other sections, please add it here.

Personal tax-filing tips for 2013 tax returns
Janna Krieger, Toronto
With the 2013 personal income tax return filing deadline fast approaching, you may be wondering what you can do to minimize your tax bill as well as the stress involved with filing your return. While tax planning is best done early in any given year, we offer you this reminder of things to think about as you prepare your return. Some will save you time, some will save your nerves and — best of all — some may even save you money.
File on time
Generally, your personal income tax return has to be filed on or before 30 April. For the self-employed and their spouse/partner, the return deadline is 16 June (for 2013), but any taxes owing must be paid by the 30 April deadline. Note that if all of your business operations are undertaken through a corporation, you are not personally "self employed," so the usual 30 April deadline applies.
Failure to file a return on time can result in penalties and interest charges. Even if you are not able to pay your tax balance by the deadline, you should still file your return on time to avoid penalties. On the other hand, even though late-filing penalties and interest are based on the amount of tax owing, you should still file on time even if you expect a refund for the following three reasons:
- If a tax liability does arise, perhaps as a result of an error in the return or a denial of certain deductions, you may suddenly be in a position where penalties and interest apply.
- If you expect a refund, it's in your best interest to file as early as possible to get your refund. Although the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) does pay interest, the interest clock does not start until 30 days after the later of the 30 April due date (even for the self-employed) and the date the return is actually filed. Late filing could mean a loss of potential refund interest.
- In the worst case, delaying too long can result in the refund being lost. Filing more than three years after the end of the year (later than 31 December 2016 for a 2013 return) means the refund is not payable, although the CRA has discretion to issue the refund provided the return is filed within 10 years (by 31 December 2023 for the 2013 return).
Use software
Using software to prepare your tax return offers many benefits. Return preparation is generally quicker, easier and less prone to mechanical error. Plus, the programs often allow you to optimize credit or deduction claims between spouses or common-law partners, and include helpful tax-filing hints based on the information you input.
Using software may also give you the option to file your return electronically. The CRA's processing time of electronically filed returns is generally shorter than that associated with paper returns. Electronic filing options include Netfile and Efile. In order to Netfile, you will have to use approved tax return software. Alternatively, you can have your return filed electronically, for a fee, by an approved Efile agent.
While paper-filed returns are still acceptable, the CRA encourages electronic filing, and requires tax preparers to Efile most returns prepared for a fee (with a few exceptions).
If you file electronically, keep your receipts. The CRA routinely asks taxpayers to provide support for various deductions or credits claimed on their tax return. Note that this is for routine verification, which is not the same thing as an audit. It is a common misconception that electronic filing increases the likelihood of an audit. In fact, the CRA has stated that the method of filing is not a factor in its selection of returns for audit.
In addition to electronic filing, the CRA has been encouraging online payment of tax and offers various ways to do so. (See "How to pay your taxes.")
How to pay your taxes
Adapted from the CRA website, www.cra-arc.gc.ca/mkpymnt-eng.html.
- You can pay your taxes the same way you would pay your phone or hydro bill — using online or telephone banking:
- In the list of payees, look for the Canada Revenue Agency, Revenue Canada, CRA Payment on Filing, Receiver General or a similar term. Make sure you correctly identify the type of account, your social insurance number and the tax year of your payment.
- You may qualify to make your payment using My Payment, the CRA online payment service, if you have an online banking account with one of the following institutions:
- BMO Bank of Montreal
- TD Canada Trust
- Scotiabank
- RBC Royal Bank
- You can make your payment at your financial institution in Canada. To do this, you will need a personalized remittance voucher, which you can ask for online through My Account or Quick Access. You can also request a remittance voucher by calling 1 800 959 8281.
- If you want to mail your payment to the CRA, send your cheque or money order (payable to the Receiver General), along with your remittance voucher, to: Canada Revenue Agency, 875 Heron Road, Ottawa ON K1A 1B1.
- If you are a nonresident who does not have a Canadian bank account, you can pay by wire transfer.
Foreign property reporting requirement
If you hold, at any time in the year, certain property outside Canada with a total cost amount of more than $100,000, you must file form T1135, "Foreign Income Verification Statement." Such foreign property includes (but is not limited to) amounts in foreign bank accounts, shares of foreign companies (other than foreign affiliates), interests in certain nonresident trusts, bonds issued by foreign governments or foreign companies (other than foreign affiliates) and real estate situated outside Canada. It does not include personal-use property or assets used only in an active business. For example, if you own a property in Arizona that you use for vacationing, but do not rent this property when you are not there, a T1135 form is not required. This falls under the definition of personal-use property.
An individual with investments in foreign affiliates, as well as an individual who has loaned or transferred funds or property to a nonresident trust, may be required to file other information returns.
Failure to report foreign property on the required information return will result in a penalty.
Note that even if you disposed of the property during the year and no longer meet the reporting threshold at the end of the year, as long as you met the threshold at any time in the year you must file form T1135 for the year. This form is due at the same time as your tax return, and as of yet cannot be filed electronically, so if you file your return electronically, be sure to mail this form to the CRA.
New details required for 2013
New for 2013 and going forward, the T1135 form has been expanded to require more detailed information on your foreign investments, including:
- The name of the specific foreign institution or other entity holding funds outside Canada
- The specific country to which the foreign property relates
- Income generated from the foreign property
Subject to the transitional relief discussed below, an exception from this detailed reporting is provided where a T3 or T5 is received from a Canadian issuer in respect of income of a particular foreign property. If several investments are held in one account, only the specific investments for which a T3 or T5 was issued would meet this reporting exclusion, so you will still have to review your portfolio for details of each foreign property to ensure the exemption applies. In fact, an investment may be excluded under this exemption in one year and not in another year, depending on whether it earned income for which a T3 or T5 was issued. Even if your property meets the reporting exemption, you're still required to file Form T1135 claiming the exemption.
It's important to file accurately and on time, because in addition to assessing penalties for late-filing the form, beginning in 2013 the CRA has also extended by three years the period within which it can reassess your return if you fail to report income from a foreign property on your return and Form T1135 was not filed on time, or a property was omitted from or improperly identified on Form T1135 for the year.
2013 transitional relief
On 26 February 2014, the CRA announced new transitional relief for Canadians who must comply with more detailed Form T1135 information reporting requirements for foreign property with a cost of over $100,000. The transitional relief, which applies only for the 2013 taxation year, is intended to assist taxpayers in transitioning to the more onerous reporting requirements, and responds to concerns raised by taxpayers and various stakeholders.
The relief comprises two elements:
- Transitional reporting method — The CRA will allow a taxpayer who holds specified foreign property in an account with a Canadian registered securities dealer to report the combined value of all such property at the end of the 2013 taxation year, rather than reporting the details of each specified foreign property. A taxpayer who chooses to follow this 2013 transitional reporting method must use this reporting method for all accounts with Canadian registered securities dealers. The T3/T5 reporting exception may, however, be relied on for investments held with foreign investment brokers/dealers.
- Filing extension — The CRA is extending the 2013 filing deadline for Form T1135 to 31 July 2014 for all taxpayers.
For additional information, read our tax alert 2014 Issue No. 17, Revised Form T1135: CRA announces new transitional relief for 2013.
Claim all your credits
Remember to take advantage of the various tax credits that might apply to you. These include the following:
- Child tax credit for children under 18
- Children's fitness credit and children's arts credit
- Public transit credit (for you, your spouse/partner or minor children)
- Adoption expense credit
- Tuition, education and textbook credits transferred from a child
- Credit for the costs of exams for accreditation as a professional or tradesperson
- Credit for individuals performing at least 200 hours of volunteer firefighting service
- Family caregiver amount
Consider deferring deductions
If you are unable to use all applicable non-refundable tax credits in 2013 (and they cannot be transferred or carried forward), or if you expect to earn higher income in the future, consider deferring the deduction of certain discretionary amounts, such as registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) contributions and capital cost allowance, to increase the tax benefit of these deductions at a later date.
Charitable donations
There are a number of filing suggestions relating to donations. The federal tax credit for donations is available in two stages ― a low-rate credit on the first $200 of donations and a high-rate credit on the remainder.
To benefit from the high-rate credit and save a small amount of tax, only one spouse or partner should claim all of the family donations. If your family's annual donation amount is not high, consider accumulating donations over a few years and claiming them all in one year to increase your benefit from the high-rate credit. The donation credit is available for donations made within the five preceding years.
If you donated stocks, bonds or mutual funds to a charity, none of the related accrued capital gain is generally included in your income, although some gains on donated flow-through shares are subject to taxation.
New for 2013 and only available until 2017 is the first-time donor's super credit. This is a temporary one-time credit that supplements the regular donation credit for donations made on or after 21 March 2013. A first-time donor will be entitled to a one-time federal credit equal to 40% for money donations of $200 or less, and 54% for donations between $200 and $1,000. An individual is considered a first-time donor if neither the individual nor the individual's spouse or common-law partner has claimed a charitable donation tax credit since 2007. The maximum donation amount that may be claimed per couple is $1,000.
And remember that if you are claiming a donation credit for a tax shelter gifting arrangement, the CRA will not assess your return until the tax shelter has been audited. Also, if you object to an assessment of tax, interest or penalties because a tax credit claimed for one of these arrangements has been denied, the CRA will be allowed to collect 50% of the disputed amount while the objection is being processed.
Capital losses
Remember that capital losses realized in the year may be applied only against capital gains. Net capital losses for 2013 may be carried back three years and applied to net gains in 2010, 2011 and 2012. File form T1A, "Request for Loss Carryback," to carry the loss back to those years and recover the related tax. Losses that cannot be carried back may be carried forward indefinitely. Where capital losses are incurred on certain shares or debt of a small business corporation, they may qualify as business investment losses that may be claimed against any income in the year, not just capital gains.
Carryforward amounts
Review your prior-year return and 2012 notice of assessment, or access your records online to determine if you have any carryforward balances that may be used as deductions or credits for your 2013 return. Such carryforward amounts could include net capital losses or other losses from prior years, unused RRSP contributions, unclaimed charitable donations (as described further below), unused tuition, education and textbook amounts, interest on student loans, resource pool balances and investment tax credits.
Interest expense
If you've borrowed money for the purpose of making an income-earning investment, the interest expense incurred should be deductible. It's not necessary that you currently earn income from the investment, but it must be reasonable to expect that you will. Interest on the money you borrow for contributions to an RRSP, registered pension plan or tax-free savings account, or for the purchase of personal assets such as your home or cottage, is not deductible.
Medical expenses
The claim for medical expenses is limited by an income threshold. In other words, the lower your net income, the more you can claim.
As a result, it's generally beneficial to claim all family medical expenses in the lower-income spouse's/partner's return. Remember, though, this is a non-refundable credit, so the individual who makes the claim should have sufficient income tax payable — both federal and provincial — to absorb the entire credit.
Family medical expenses include those for you, your spouse/partner and your minor children. Expenses for other family members who are dependent on you for support, including adult children, parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews, can also be claimed, subject to reductions based on their income.
Pension income-splitting
If you received pension income in 2013 that is eligible for the pension income credit, remember that up to half of this income can be reported on your spouse's or common-law partner's tax return. You'll reap the greatest benefits when one member of the couple earns significant pension income while the other has little or no income.
However, benefits may also be available in other, less obvious circumstances. In some cases, transferring income from a lower-income pension recipient to a higher-income spouse can carry a tax benefit. If you've overlooked this opportunity in a previous year, you should be aware that the CRA is generally willing to accept a request to file a late election up to three years after the assessment date of the returns in question.
Rental properties
If you own property and rent it as a source of revenue, the income or loss must be reported on your tax return. If a net rental loss results, it can generally be deducted against other sources of income for the year.
Expenses you incur to earn rental revenue can generally be deducted against this revenue. These expenses can include mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs, utilities, advertising and management fees.
Capital expenses, such as the cost of the building (but not land), furniture and equipment, may be deducted through capital cost allowance (depreciation) over a period of years. However, capital cost allowance may only be claimed to the extent of rental income before any claim for capital cost allowance. In other words, you cannot create or increase a rental loss through the deduction of capital cost allowance.
If you change all or part of your principal residence into a rental property, or move into a rental property that you own, you will be considered to have disposed of all or part of the property at the time you change its use from either personal to business or business to personal, as the case may be. As a result, you may have to report a capital gain on your tax return. However, you may qualify for a "no change in use" election, which allows you to extend principal residence treatment and either reduce or defer the tax on the gain under certain conditions.
Old receipts
In gathering your information, you may stumble across old receipts that may have value in your 2013 return. Specifically, charitable donations can be carried forward and used in any of the five years after the year the gift is made. You can claim medical expenses for any 12-month period that ends in 2013 if you haven't claimed them previously.
In addition, under the taxpayer relief provisions, the CRA has the discretion to make adjustments to previously filed returns (10 years back) in relation to certain errors or omissions, on the taxpayer's request.
Old slips
On the other hand, if you stumble across old income slips that you may have missed, or if you receive a slip after filing your return, you may be tempted to leave it for the next year or let the CRA assess you based on its records. This is not a good idea because it would be considered a failure to report income, and if you have also missed any income in any of the three preceding years, you will be subject to a penalty for repeated failure to report income, which could be significant. Report any missed income as soon as you find it by sending the relevant details to the CRA with a letter. Depending on the nature of the omission, you may want to consider filing a voluntary disclosure. Speak to your EY advisor about whether you are eligible.
You can also make other changes to your return (including claiming missed deductions) after it has been assessed. (See "Making changes to your return" for details on how to do this).
Making changes to your return
Reproduced from the CRA website, www.cra-arc.gc.ca/nwsrm/txtps/2013/tt130423-eng.html.
It's easy to make a correction to your income tax and benefit return if you realize you made a mistake after filing.
You will need to wait to receive your notice of assessment from the CRA before you can make a change to your return.
Once you receive your notice of assessment, you can do one of the following:
- Use the Change my return option found in My Account, one of the CRA's secure online services
- Send a completed T1 Adjustment Request form (T1-ADJ) to your tax centre
- Send a signed letter to your tax centre asking for an adjustment to your return
If you send a letter, be sure to give your name, address and social insurance number and indicate which tax year you want to adjust. You will also need to provide any supporting documents for your change. For example, if you want to change the amount you claimed for charitable donations, you have to submit all your charitable donation receipts to support your claim.
Business owners
If you're self employed (that is, you carry on an unincorporated business, the income from which is reported directly on your personal tax return), there are a number of business-related expenses you can claim. File form T2125 to report your business income and expenses, and be sure to complete the new part of the form to report internet business activities. (See "New 2013 requirement to report internet business activities.")
Ensure that you take advantage of all available deductions, including automobile expenses, parking, business association fees, home-office expenses (if you qualify), entertainment, convention expenses (a maximum of two per year), cell phone, depreciation on your computer and salaries paid to assistants, including family members.
Remember that in many cases, you can deduct private health-care premiums as a business expense instead of a medical expense, and one-half of Canada Pension Plan paid in respect of self-employed earnings is deductible instead of creditable.
A word of caution: if you claim home-office expenses, you're likely better off not to claim the depreciation on the home-office portion of your home. Although this will give you a deduction in the current year, you will lose some of the capital gains protection available from the principal-residence exemption.
And finally, if you have business losses from prior years, you may only want to use sufficient losses to offset income taxed at the higher tax brackets and keep some losses to offset similar high-rate income in the future. You should not use losses to reduce income below your non-refundable tax credits.
New 2013 requirement to report internet business activities
If you earn business income from one or more webpages or websites (whether it is your own website or a profile or page on anyone else's blog, portal or directory) you must report the following:
- The number of webpages/websites your business earns income from
- The addresses of your top five internet income-generating sites
- The percentage of income generated from the internet
You will be considered to earn income from a webpage or website if you do any of the following:
- Sell goods or services through a webpage or website that are processed online, even if the processing is done by a third-party service
- Sell goods or services through a webpage or website that requires the customer to call, complete and submit a form, or email you to make a purchase, order or booking
- Sell goods or services on auction, marketplace or similar websites operated by others
- Earn income from advertising, income programs or traffic generated by the website
If you moved in 2013 to start a new job or a new business, or to attend university or college on a full-time basis, you may be able to claim expenses relating to the move.
In addition to the actual cost of moving your furniture, appliances, dishes, clothes and so on, you can claim travel costs, including meals and lodging while en route.
Lease-cancellation costs, as well as various expenses associated with the sale of your former residence, are also deductible, including up to $5,000 in costs associated with maintaining a former residence that was not sold before the move.
The expenses are only deductible to the extent of income from the new work or business location (or, for students, taxable scholarships or research grant income). If this income is insufficient to claim all the moving expenses in the year of the move, you can carry forward the remaining expenses and deduct them in the following year, again to the extent of income from the new work location. Expenses paid after the move cannot be carried back.
Home purchasers
If you acquired a home in 2013, you may qualify for a federal tax credit worth $750 if neither you nor your spouse/partner owned a residence from 1 January 2009 to the date you purchased your new home.
However, if you bought your new home for the benefit of a family member eligible for the disability tax credit so they could be more mobile or functional in an environment that's better suited to their personal needs or care, the credit is available regardless of your history of home ownership.
Update your instalment calculation to manage your cash flow
If you earn income that is not subject to withholding (e.g., rental, investment or self-employment income), you may be required to pay your 2014 income tax liability throughout the year in quarterly instalments. You must generally submit your instalments by 15 March, 15 June, 15 September and 15 December. Late remittances may result in an interest charge.
The CRA sends notices to individuals who may have to pay tax by instalment, setting out the payments required according to their records. However, there are three allowable methods of calculating instalments and you are entitled to select whichever method results in the lowest quarterly amounts:
- No-calculation option – The CRA's instalment notice uses the method that requires each of your first two 2014 instalments to be one-quarter of your balance due for 2012, and your second two instalments to aggregate to your 2013 balance due, less the amounts payable in your first two instalments.
- Prior-year option – You may choose instead to calculate each instalment as one-quarter of your 2013 balance due.
- Current-year option – A third alternative allows you to calculate each instalment as one-quarter of your anticipated 2014 balance due.
The third alternative can result in a lower instalment requirement if your tax is expected to be lower in 2014 than in 2013. But if you underestimate your 2014 balance due and pay insufficient instalments, you will be charged interest.
Filing returns for children/students
In many cases, there may be benefits to filing tax returns for children even when it's not required.
If your children had part-time jobs during the year or earned some money for small jobs, such as babysitting, snow removal or lawn care, by filing a tax return they report earned income and thus establish contribution room for purposes of RRSP contributions, which they can make in a future year.
Another advantage in filing a return for teenagers is the availability of refundable tax credits. Several provinces offer such credits to low- and no-income individuals. When there is no provincial tax to be reduced, the credit is paid to the taxpayer. There is also a GST/HST credit available for low- and no-income individuals over age 18 that is generally only paid if an income tax return is filed. The 2013 return will determine credits for July 2014 to April 2015, so anyone who will turn 19 prior to April 2015 should file their 2013 return.
Finally, university students should always file tax returns and claim eligible tuition, education and textbook amounts. Unused amounts are transferable to a supporting spouse, parent or grandparent up to a maximum of $5,000 (federal) per person. Once established, credits that cannot be used or transferred in the current year can be carried forward and claimed by the student in a later year.
Get a head start on 2014 savings
- Contribute early to your RRSP or RESP to maximize tax-deferred growth, and to your TFSA to maximize tax-free growth.
- Consider income-splitting opportunities such as prescribed-rate loans, or reasonable salaries to a spouse or child for services provided to your business.
- Consider tax deferral opportunities using corporations (such as revisiting your salary/dividend/remuneration needs) or other planning opportunities involving corporations.
- If you're planning on selling an investment or earning income from a new source in the year, consider opportunities to realize and use losses to offset that income.
- Maintain your logbook to support business use of automobile expenses throughout the year.
- Consider converting non-deductible interest into deductible interest by using available cash (perhaps a tax refund) to pay down personal loans, and then borrowing for investment or business purposes.
- If you expect to have substantial tax deductions in 2014, consider requesting CRA authorization to decrease tax withheld from your salary.

Webb Simpson fires a 63 for four-stroke lead in Las Vegas
Former U.S. Open champion able to keep his daydreaming in check
The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — Webb Simpson opened a four-stroke lead Friday in the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, taking advantage of perfect scoring conditions at TPC Summerlin.
Making his first start since helping the U.S. win the Presidents Cup, the 2012 U.S. Open champion shot an 8-under 63 to reach 15 under. He had nine birdies and a bogey — on the par-5 16th in his opening nine.
"The ball is really going far," Simpson said. "I was wondering why the scores were so low yesterday morning because I thought the ball might go a little shorter. But the ball was getting out there and the golf course played a little shorter than I thought it would, and I just putted well and kept going."
The 63 matched the lowest round of his PGA Tour career.
"There's no wind, no clouds in the sky and it's really quiet, so it's easy to kind of daydream," Simpson said. "You've really got to focus on what you're doing and talk to your caddie, at least for me. I talk to him about what we're trying to do here, where we're trying to hit the ball."
The four-stroke lead broke the tournament second-round record of three set by Lon Hinkle in 1984 and matched by Seattle's Rick Fehr in 1996 — both when the event was 90 holes.
J.J. Henry followed his course-record 60 with a 71 to join John Senden, Jeff Overton, Chesson Hadley and Jason Bohn at 11 under. Bohn had a 64, Senden and Hadley shot 66, and Overton had a 68.
"I need to keep on making birdies out there," Senden said. "It's not as much building a score, it's just about doing a great job on making birdies."
Hadley, the Web.com Tour Championship winner last month, is making his fourth career PGA Tour start.
"It was a great day," Hadley said. "It's been a fantastic start to the week, and to be at 11 under and to have a chance going into the weekend is awesome. I've been in this position before as far as Web.com Tour, and certainly a little bit different stage out here on the PGA Tour. Just looking to manage the nerves tomorrow and just realize it's just golf, and let's just go have some fun."
Henry had three bogeys and a birdie on his first four holes.
Defending champion Ryan Moore, out of Puyallup, and Russell Knox were 10 under. Moore shot 63, and Knox had a 65.
Kevin Penner of Sammamish had a 65 for a 6-under 136 and is tied for 28th. Richard H. Lee, a former Husky, had a 69 for a 139 and is tied for 58th.
Four local golfers missed the cut. Andres Gonzales (67) of Olympia, Alex Prugh (68) of Spokane and Kyle Stanley (73) of Gig Harbor all finished at 2-under 140, missing by one stroke. Michael Putnam of Tacoma had a 69 for an even-par 142 to miss as well.
• Bernhard Langer birdied the final hole for a 6-under 64 and a share of the first-round lead with Anders Forsbrand and Dick Mast in the Greater Hickory Classic in Conover, N.C. Langer, a two-time winner this season on the 50-and-over tour, and Forsbrand each had seven birdies and a bogey, while Mast had six birdies in a bogey-free round on the reconfigured Rock Barn Golf and Spa layout. Seattle's Rick Fehr had a 75 and is 80th.
• Amy Yang overcame early jitters while playing in her home country, shooting a 5-under 67 to finish in a four-way tie for the lead after the first round of the KEB HanaBank Championship in Incheon, South Korea. She was tied with Katherine Hull-Kirk of Australia, South Korean compatriot Ju Young Pak and Anna Nordqvist of Sweden.
• Peter Hedblom shot a 3-under 69 to take a two-stroke lead after two rounds of the Perth International in Australia. The Swede, who is at 7-under 137, is two strokes ahead of Ross Fisher, who had the lowest round of the day with a 5-under 67.

Ondrej Pavelec had two things to celebrate Friday — his second shutout of the year against the Phoenix Coyotes the night before and his native Czech Republic playing in Group A of soccer's 2012 European Championship.
"I think a lot of (NHL) players are going to be there," the Winnipeg Jets netminder said of series set for next June. "I'm really excited to go there and see some games. We've got a big chance to play the quarter-final."
And he was also pretty pleased with his part in the 1-0 win the Jets recorded over the Coyotes, who were the original Winnipeg Jets until they moved to Phoenix in 1996.
"I think yesterday was one of the best games we played defensively," he said after a practice at the MTS Iceplex on the outskirts of Winnipeg.
Coach Claude Noel agreed, praising Pavelec for his part.
"He's played really well for us," said Noel.
"I think this was a really good stepping stone for him in (Thursday) night's game, in a game where you can help us close out the game when we're up 1-0. It gives you an opportunity to help your teammates and I thought he did a great job there."
It's also quite an accomplishment, considering the number of starting members of the Jets' defence missing in action due to injury. With leaders like Tobias Enstrom out, they've called up help from the St. John's Icecaps of the American Hockey League, Winnipeg's farm team, and Pavelec gave them credit for helping earn his second shutout of the season.
"The guys who got called up from St. John's did a really good job."
The six-foot-three, 220-pounder is just 24 and played his junior hockey with the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. He was drafted by the Atlanta Thrashers in 2005 and signed with them in 2007.
He bounced back and forth between the Thrashers and their farm team until the 2009-2010 season, when he stayed almost entirely in Atlanta. In 2010-2011, their last in Atlanta before moving to Winnipeg, he played in 58 games.
He's certainly been getting lots of action this season. With Winnipeg's main backup Chris Mason out for about a month, he's already played in 22 of 25 games and ranks fifth among NHL goalies for the amount of ice time he's seen and third for games played.
Not that he minds.
"I'm happy I'm able to play and the coach trusts me, and that's why you work out in the summer, to be ready to play every game."
The Jets recently concluded a gruelling road trip (11 out of 16 games in a roughly five-week span) and fatigue was one factor suggested in their 6-4 loss to the Ottawa Senators in Winnipeg on Tuesday, but Pavelec won't use that as an excuse.
"We couldn't close the game in the third and we took a penalty and they scored a goal. I wouldn't say it was because I was tired."
Thursday the penalty box saw very little action, another shift in the way the Jets have been playing this year as they improved their record to 10-11-4.
Mason is now back in the lineup and Pavelec is likely to get a break now and then.
"He's going to get back into the rhythm of things," Noel said after giving his No. 2 a thorough workout Friday.
"Is it one every four games? It's going to be something around there so we need to get him back playing. He's a workhorse and he loves to work and he always wants to get better and prepare himself to have success so we're going to get him in some games or a game coming up shortly."
Having said that, Mason's groin injury isn't the only reason Pavelec has seen so much ice time, said Noel.
"He's been in a pretty good groove as of late so we're pretty happy with how he's played."Report Typo/Error
