ROF goes after a place called Maine
The pro-Romney super PAC Restore Our Future is making a run at one of Maine's four Electoral College votes, buying six figures' worth of airtime to contest the 2nd Congressional District, a GOP source confirms.
Maine is one of two states -- along with Nebraska -- that apportions its electoral votes by congressional district as well as the statewide vote. The statewide winner gets two votes, while the other two are handed out to the winner of each district. Republican presidential candidates have eyed the rural, more conservative 2nd District in the past, but never succeeded in splitting it off from the rest of the state.
The ROF flight, which CNN first reported, covers Oct. 25 to 29 and includes at least $126,000 in ads in the Portland market and $61,000 in Bangor. CNN reports the total buy is $300,000.
In a way, Romney's allies are following in Obama's footsteps with this play: the president won a single electoral vote out of Nebraska four years ago by winning the congressional district based in Omaha. Because Obama won so big nationally, it didn't make much of a difference. If the current race stays this close, there's at least an outside chance the vote in Maine could matter.

With De Niese, Graves, Padilla, Racette, Zajick; P. Domingo, P. Domingo, Jr., Montenegro, Polenzani, Skelton, Gilfry, Gunn, Hampson, Pape, Shenyang. No texts. MPE Music
The seeds of this recording were planted in the early 1980s, when John Denver and Plácido Domingo famously recorded "Perhaps Love" as a duet, at the suggestion of Denver's longtime producer, Milt Okun. It was a smash hit, partly because Domingo's approach was to sing as much of the song as possible before letting on that he could "sing." His focus remained on the words, and his voice responded as needed. Another plus was Denver's guitar, which provided an anchor to the earth underneath the tasteful synthesized embellishments. The song struck a remarkable balance between staying true to its essence while making room for a fuller voice.
The singers who fare best here are those who, like Domingo, let the emotional response spring naturally from the text. Even so, their efforts are often undone by soupy, synthetic arrangements that overwhelm Denver's disarming directness and push the singers to compete. Patricia Racette scores points for checking all operatic mannerisms at the door, rendering "Leaving on a Jet Plane" in a lusty, soulful chest voice; if only the producer (Okun again) had had the courage to let her sing it with just acoustic guitar. Dolora Zajick makes thrillingly tenorial sounds in her straightforward rendition of "Like a Sad Song," and Shenyang takes a gentle, inviting approach to "Shanghai Breezes," backed up by flute and harp in both English and Mandarin. Although his English is a little awkward, René Pape scales down his majestic bass nicely for "Follow Me." Stuart Skelton and Barbara Padilla stay just to the right side of crossover in "Fly Away."
The rest of the tracks are overbaked, except the anthem-like "The Eagle and the Hawk," which is ennobled by film-score instrumental treatment and a trio of big voices in harmony — Rod Gilfry, Daniel Montenegro and Zajick. And yes, "Perhaps Love" is on here, only this time Domingo is joined by his son, Plácido, Jr. If the performance doesn't achieve the same appealing alchemy of the original, the father–son dynamic makes a touching replacement for the meeting of minds across styles.

Review for Limitless Horizons Ixil, Inc., Boston, CA, USA
I have been a donor for 3 years now. I started supporting the organization when I found out from a friend about how great the need is in the community they support as well as how passionately, diligently, and mindfully their staff team works. I know that donating to LHI means that my money is going directly to educating and raising youth leaders that will lift their community up by its bootstraps.

Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, 2008, vol. 32, issue 12, 3745-3759
This paper develops a simple life-cycle model that embeds a theory of debt restrictions based on the existence of inalienable property rights a la Kehoe and Levine [1993. Debt constrained asset markets. Review of Economic Studies 60(4), 865-888; 2001. Liquidity constrained markets versus debt constrained markets. Econometrica 69(3), 575-598]. In our environment, net debtors have the option of defaulting on unsecured debt at the cost of being subjected to wage garnishment and/or having some or all of their future assets seized by creditors. One advantage of our framework is that it encompasses two standard versions of the life-cycle model: one with perfect capital markets and one with a non-negative net-worth restriction. We study the impact of a payroll financed social security system to illustrate the role of endogenous debt constraints and compare our results to a model with exogenous debt constraints. Whereas the aggregate effects are similar under both types of constraints, the distributional consequences are found to be significantly different across debt regimes.

Nastel has provided a download package for OpenReports for customers that did not have their own corporate reporting tools. As of November 1st, 2013, Nastel no longer distributes it. Customers can download it directly from http://sourceforge.net/projects/oreports/. Nastel support will make best effort to provide assistance with setup and execution with our sample reports. However, support will not extend to failures in OpenReports itself. We will continue to distribute our sample reports using Jasper Reports which can be used with other reporting tools.
If assistance is required extends beyond support for the reports provided, that can be provided by Nastel professional services.
When using a corporate reporting tool, Nastel professional services can assist in configuring it to work with Nastel data.
For AutoPilot 4.X and earlier
Nastel is releasing its new suite of products under the brand AutoPilot M6 (a.k.a. Mach 6). The new suite is slated to be generally available (GA) to the market as of October 15, 2007. The AutoPilot M6 product set supersedes all previous versions of the AutoPilot and MQ Control product lines previously released by Nastel.
Standard industry practice is for a vendor to continue to support the prior release of a software product for twelve months from the release date of a new version release.
However, Nastel recognizes the significant investment that our customers have made in deploying AutoPilot in their IT environments, and the complexity inherent in their IT architectures. Therefore we have extended the support coverage period for prior versions of our AutoPilot product suite for three additional months, or fifteen months in total from the GA date.
Sunset Cut-off Date:
Nastel will continue to provide support for all customers currently covered by maintenance and support agreements for AutoPilot 4.X version level modules and plug-ins, including jKool, through December 31, 2008.
Support Coverage:
The support provided by Nastel for the AutoPilot 4.X version level products during this period will include providing patches, fixes, service packs, work-arounds, phone and email support for all AutoPilot product modules. It will not include any functional enhancements or feature upgrades. All functional enhancements and feature upgrade requests will be applied to the new AutoPilot M6 product set.
Extended Coverage Option:
Nastel urges all of its customers to complete their trade-up and migration to AutoPilot M6 during the 15-month support window. However, we acknowledge that this might not be feasible for every customer. For customers faced with insurmountable obstacles or circumstances that preclude their migration to AutoPilot M6 by Dec. 31, 2008, Nastel will offer an extension of support coverage for a premium fee. The length of time in which such extended support will be available will be determined by the level of demand and the number of customers requiring it. Note: Extended support will be provided to customers covered by premium multi-year agreements currently in effect as of Oct. 15, 2007 in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in their multi-year agreement.
Cessation of Support Coverage for AutoPilot 4.X and earlier versions:
When Nastel determines that extending support for prior versions of AutoPilot is no longer viable, all customers still using earlier supported versions will be notified and given one calendar quarter (3 months) to complete their migration to the then current versions of AutoPilot M6. At the end of that period, Nastel will no longer provide any technical support of any kind for AutoPilot 4.X and earlier versions.
AutoPilot M6 version 6.x is the current version. There are no pending plans to sunset this release.
For Other Products
Unless otherwise stated, the support for other Nastel products is maintained for 2 years from the date of release of an updated version or a replacement product.

What does tax code mean?
Definitions for tax code
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word tax code.
Tax code
In the UK, every person paid under the PAYE scheme is allocated a tax code by HM Revenue and Customs. This is usually in the form of a number followed by a letter suffix, though other 'non-standard' codes are also used. This code describes to employers how much tax to deduct from an employee. The code is normally based on information provided to HMRC by the taxpayer or their employer. Tax codes are usually adjusted once a year to take into account any changes made in the National Budget, but can be altered more often to reflect an employee's circumstances. Tax codes can be changed if someone has paid too much or too little tax the previous tax year, if an employee receives state benefits, or has non-PAYE income. Changes in a tax code are to ensure the employee has paid the correct amount of tax by the end of each tax year. Tax codes are passed between periods of employment by a P45, which is generated when a person leaves a job. If a P45 is mislaid or not supplied at the end of a period of employment, a P46 can be filled out in order to determine which tax code is applicable to a person. Between submitting a P46 and receiving the correct tax code from HM Revenue and Customs, an employer can apply the emergency tax code on a week 1 basis. In this case, tax will be calculated as if the employee is working in the first week of the tax year, and all previous earnings are ignored. At the end of each tax year employers are required to send out a P60 which documents the total earnings and tax a person has paid within that tax year.

Mayor Bloomberg says census figures shortchange New York City
The Daily News wrote about the results of the census and the inaccurate numbers released by the Census Bureau. The Queens population has greatly increased in the last 10 years and the numbers need to reflect that.
We wuz robbed!
New census figures claim there are fewer than 8.2 million New Yorkers in the city - but critics say the Census Bureau flubbed the count and missed hundreds of thousands more.
"It just doesn't make any sense at all," Mayor Bloomberg said Thursday. "When three boroughs go up dramatically, and the two most populous boroughs don't, something's wrong."
The Census Bureau claims 8,175,133 people were living in New York when it counted heads last spring.
That's the highest number ever, but still just a meager 2.1% increase from 10 years before.
Staten Island grew 5.6%, the Bronx grew 3.9% and Manhattan went up 3.2%, the census reported.
Brooklyn rose just 1.6%, and Queens saw a mere 1,343 new residents over an entire decade, the census data show - figures that seem maddeningly low to the people who live there.
"I'm flabbergasted by these numbers," said Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz. "I know they made a big, big mistake."
City officials said the census likely missed new immigrants, including those who are here illegally or are living in illegally subdivided homes.
New York gained 170,000 new homes in the last decade, they said, so it's preposterous to think the population rose by only 166,000.
The census claimed the number of vacant apartments rose in Brooklyn and Queens, where two-thirds of the city's immigrants live.
City experts suspect census-takers declared them empty because immigrant residents were afraid to be counted by a government worker.
"I invite census officials who believe that our population is stagnant to go on tour with me and discover the difference," said Queens Borough President Helen Marshall.
Joseph Salvo, the city's top demographer, thinks the city's true population is closer to 8.4million - so the feds missed between 225,000 and 260,000 New Yorkers.
The Census Bureau's own 2009 estimate of the city's population was 8,391,881, but it was based on demographic formulas, not an actual head count.
Queens Sen. Michael Gianaris said his Astoria neighborhood has clearly expanded in the last decade, but the census claims it lost 10,000 people.

Okay, so here is the recipe I promised. Over a year ago our neighborhood had a recipe email exchange headed by the ever wonderful Lori. Every month or so we would send her recipes for that particular category and then she would format it all and send it to everyone on the email list. So fabulous! Well, for the last 4 days I have been compiling all of my random recipes from cds, emails, magazine clippings and previous ones that I had already printed out. It didn't take me as long as I thought I would so that was great! Anyways, I found this little gem from our neighborhood recipes by Jenn. So I can't take credit for it…just credit for making it and eating way too much of it. She had a crescent recipe with it, but I just made my favorite bread recipe. Now, I didn't always make bread until I found another recipe that I forgot I had. I discovered it when I was unpacking and decided to give it a try. SOOOOOO easy and better than Rhodes rolls. Rhodes rolls are like gold in my house so it's a pretty good recipe. So, for those of you who make your own bread, great. For those of you who don't know how to make bread and want to, refer to the recipe below. For those of you who don't make bread and really don't want to, totally use Rhodes rolls with this.
Orange Glaze
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
2 TBSP orange juice concentrate
1/4 cup butter
Mix together in a small pot and boil for 3 minutes. Brush over warm rolls.
1 1/2 cups warm water
1/2 cup sugar
2 TBSP yeast or two packets
Gently mix together in a bowl and cover with a towl. Let it sit in a warm spot for 6 minutes. You should see bubbles. If you don't wait up to 20 minutes and if you don't see bubbles start again and check your water temp.
In a large bowl, mix together yeast mixture and
2 eggs
2 tsp salt
1/4 cup soft butter, not melted
4 1/2 cups flour
Dough will be stick so don't worry. Cover this will a towel and place in a warm spot for 1 hour. This is usually when I put the bowl on the dryer and then put a load in…let the heat do double duty.
It should double in size. Punch down dough. Spray another large bowl and transfer dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit in the fridge over night. Yesterday I made it in the morning and I made them that night for dinner so as long as you let it rest in the fridge for 6 hours, you should be fine. It will continue to rise. About 1 1/2 hours before you want to serve them, take it out of the fridge and turn out onto floured surface. Divide it in half. Roll out into two circles and then cut each into 12 slices (like a pizza.) Roll up like a crescent roll. Place on greased cookie sheet (you might need two). Cover them with a towel and let them rise for another hour. Just about the right time for another load of laundry! Bake at 375 for 12 minutes or until lightly golden brown.

Written on: 03/11/2013 by Hank Bolliday (3 reviews written)
The staff at the check in desk are superb. They are off-airpot at Alicante, but with frequent shuttle bus. This was the second time I had hired from Drivalia (and I have tried most of the others as I live here in Spain). I was just as impressed as the first time a couple of months ago. They are friendly, efficient and the whole system runs like clockwork. The car on both occasions was good (a few scratches this time - but it was clear they were not going to play the game so many hire companies do and try to charge you for minor - or unrecorded - damage (and they did not).
They do operate a collect full and return empty fuel policy (like many other of the budget renters) so be aware of this.
All in all I would recommend them thoroughly. They seem to be very honest and above board (unlike many of the others) and the cars are good quality too.

(Mark Hyman, MD) In my work as a functional medicine doctor I often have patients ask me how they will achieve their health goals with cravings for the foods they have always loved. They say, "Doc, I trust your advice would help me if I could only live on food that tastes like cardboard, but I just don't think I can do it. I don't' have that kind of willpower." But what they don't yet know is that eating well is actually more pleasurable than most of the junk food filling the shelves of our current grocery stores.
I love when I see patients return after a few weeks of implementing my suggestion to trade in their SAD diet (standard American diet) for an anti-inflammatory meal plan. Undoubtedly the response is always the same: I didn't know eating healthy food could not only taste good but feel so good. The taste of good health lingers long in the body and looks good on all of us!

By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
McNary High School's boys varsity soccer team nearly pulled out it's first win on the season in a game with West Albany High School Thursday, Sept. 13, but a second-half red card left the team in the lurch and settling for a 2-2 tie.
McNary took a 2-0 lead in the first half with goals by Jose Daniel Caballero in the 30th and 32nd minutes. Caballero was assisted by Devin Williams on the first goal and Reece Braatz on the second.
"We did well attacking in the first half and not letting them get past our defense," Caballero said.
McNary lost a player in the second half to a red card foul for slide tackling from behind. It left the Celts down a man for the last 30 minutes of the game, but that was no excuse said Miguel Camarena, McNary head coach.
"We scored two goals in the first half, which is one way of saying we should have won the game. The two goals in the second half shouldn't have happened. Even playing 30 minutes one player down, we should be able to win that game," he said.
The Bulldogs closed the gap to 2-1 in the 48th minute and then knotted it for the 2-2 final.
Goalkeep Ty Wyatt hauled in six saves for the Celts.
McNary faced Madison High School earlier in the week and came up with a 1-0 loss.
"We just got unlucky with a few balls hitting the post," said McNary's Reece Braatz. "The ball just didn't cooperate with us that day."
The Senators netted the only goal of the game in the 34th minute. Wyatt had four saves.
"We didn't win, but we had a lot of passing and more control than them," said Isaiah Santana.
Santana and Braatz said the team was miles ahead of where they finished last season.
"We didn't talk as much and we got scored on because of that, but this year we've amped up the defense and it's been overall better," Santana said.
Braatz was most pleased with the defensive toughness the team has displayed in its preseason games.
"All the goals on us were mental mistakes, we let go of our focus and it cost us. Defense has kept us in the game and we're getting a lot better with switching the ball," he said. "I want to get some more shots on goal. We'll get a chance and then a little hesitation means we miss it."
The team has done a good job of creating scoring opportunities, but not as well when it comes to finishing, Camarena said. He was also concerned about losing possession of the ball in last week's games.
"We have a team with great skill and that shouldn't be happening. If they can show that again, we'll see what happens," he said.

Two masters of epic fantasy have combined in this brilliant collaboration to create a rousing tale. This is the story of Shana, a half-breed born of the forbidden union of an Elvenlord father with a human mother. Her exiled mother dead, Shana was rescued and raised by dragons, a proud, ancient race who existed unbeknownst to elven or human kind. From birth, Shana was the embodiment of the Prophecy that the all-powerful Elvenlords feared. Her destiny is the enthralling adventure of a lifetime.
©1991 Andre Norton and Mercedes Lackey (P)2011 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"A splendid blend of the talents of two excellent storytellers" (Anne McCaffrey)
"One of the season's liveliest and most appealing fantasy epics." (Publishers Weekly)
"A brisk, glittering yarn that packs as much action, suspense, and twisting of conventions into one novel as many writers invest in whole trilogies." (Amazing Stories)
"Totally Different Authors and Styles"
Chapter one is great. It is dark and very adult. I like dark and thought I was really going to like this. The Elves have captured Earth and turned humans into slaves. The best a human male can expect to be is a gladiator and a woman a concubine to an Elf who will not beat her. It is the first time I know of that Elves are depicted as bad guys and they are really mean.
The dragons are not really dragons, they are shape shifters. I even thought that was interesting. Around chapter three we obviously change authors and we go from an adult dark fantasy to something written for six year olds. I might have been able to hang on if the book had been 10-12 hours, but 19? I had better books to listen to.
"Love it, but there is no conclusion to series."
I just wanted to warn anyone who can't handle a series which is unfinished, and may never be finished. The book is great, and the Audible version excellent as well. Sadly the death of Andre Norton put the end of this series somewhere (hopefully) in the future. Mercedes Lackey is a wonderful fantasy author, and I've read and thoroughly everything she's put her hand to (that I could get my hands on). This is a great story for fantasy book lovers. It has all you want, magic, creatures, love, iintrigue, imagination galore, etc. I just hope we find out what actually happens to the characters in this story who are left without any resolution. My imagination isn't good enough - I need the professionals! If Audible has any power encouraging authors, please do so. The entire Valdemar series should be in a quality Audible format. The Colegium Chronicles isn't the best way to start listening to her Valdemar books. (and Arrows of the Queen is 1/3 of a story).
"A fun listen"
On a scale of 1-5, I would rate it a 4 (5 being high, 1 being low).
I enjoyed the adventure and the thrill of discovering the history of the main character as well as the origins of the dragons. Looking forward to hearing the next book in the series.
The performer did a great job characterizing the characters, though one of the voices seemed exceedingly childish as the story progressed. This may be just how the character was originally written, though I would have to read the physical book to know for sure.
I had a few moments when I chuckled out loud, but it didn't make me cry.
A fun listen, great for wandering around the house while doing chores. The progression keeps a nice pace and the performer does a good job withouth being too grating on the nerves.
"Surprisenly enjoyable"
The start of this book in a harem had me going back to look at the equivalent of the book flyleaf. I wasn't at all sure I had gotten the book I had selected. But after I got over the shock, I found it to be very entertaining. And as I got further into the story, it went well beyond the sort I book I was expecting. It was a complete change in a major way from how Elves and Dragons are usually portrayed in stories. This difference brought real excitement to the story instead of just another retelling of the standard fare of a story with small chances where you basically knew the plot. It rips the glow and halo of the elves and gives a giant leap in the character of the dragons changing them to something so much more interesting that beast.
The fact that it told that not everything turns out right in the end. That some will suffer and die even if they don't deserve it but it is worth trying no matter what. And that one person can make a big difference and change the course of events. Though the person that accomplishes this doesn't always end up being perfect or even being rewarded.
I'm not a prude but I was surprised by how the book started out. I was expecting a book about elves and dragons along the normal lines of the standard stories. Starting out with a selfish conniving human in a harem for a powerful elf ruler wasn't what I was expecting from a book about elves and dragons. The way the dragons would interact secretly in the lives of the elves and humans was much more interesting than the way stories usually portray them. This book made the other stories seem like the had been Disney-fide to their most simplest flat form while this instead still held all the vim and vigor of life even the ugly sides. People/elves/Dragons where portrayed to have real faults, jealousy, power hunger and even cruelty. While still showing that strength of character and good could also present in the same. Instead of making their character one dimensional by always being bad or good.
"Narrator could use some valium"
I doubt I will listen to this narrator again. She was over the top, near hysterical at time, and boring at others. Even when Shara is a young adult, her voice still sounds like a small child. The narration doesn't help the story. It is apparent there were two authors, and it is easy to tell where one stops and the other starts. Parts of the book are very adult, dealing with concubines, oppression and violence. On the other hand, the parts about Shara seem written for the middle grade reader. I never felt the two stories merged into one. Especially during Shara'a scenes. She remembers and thinks about things but they have already happened. We don't get to experience them with her. The book did not hold my interest.
"A Great Escape Bood"
I love both Norton and Lackey and their combined efforts take you to a land of fantesy and magic. Of course there is good and evil. A relationship between a half blood and a dragon, a relationship between a pure blood and a half blood and of course the evil pure blood. The story helped me escape my day to day stresses. These was the mystery of the unknow dragons and the wizards. A great story. I highly recommend it.
"Suprisingly Brilliant"
I've been a science fiction reader for as long as I can remember, and I loved hearing about the private lives of two very different worlds - shamanistic dragons and royal courtesans. It melded a story between the two. I plan to buy the sequel and continue on with the brilliant world created by the author. However this story was more than a simple introduction. It was a complete epic masterpiece that could stand on it's own. Although I am quite pleased to find out that there is even more to come!
"Disappointing book"
I was really looking forward to this book, but it was pretty disappointing. Starts out depressing, picks up, takes a downward turn and continues this trend throughout the first half of the book. Each time the main character finds success, it's soon followed with catastrophy. I suppose by the end of the book she's a hero, but really, how many times should a character meet with such adversity. I quit listening about half way through.
It's interesting in that you keep thinking the main character's life is going to get better, but I didn't see that happening.
Narrator did a great job - I have no complaints.
"Long introduction but works well overall"
The introduction was long enough that I began to wonder if the story would hold my interest. It grabbed my interest and held it. I plan to read the rest of this series over the next couple months,
"One of the best collaborations of all times"
These two authors blend so smoothly the story so beautiful and so engrossing. I've always loved both authors but they reach a whole new level in the series. There are a few slow spots but they are well worth getting through to get to the entire beautiful tapestry of the story.
"Mildly Entertaining"
The best "gimmick" of the book would probably be the "evil unicorns" - but what I liked the least was the obsession with breeding - a constant refrain of the tale. We're presented with a world where humans are slaves and treated like cattle - and we're reminded over, and over again about breeding habits of the elves.
Mercedes Lackey is usually quite a good one for a comfort read - only because I used to read her as a high school student and when I want something familiar, I know what I'll get. I wasn't completely enamored with this pairing with Andre Norton. I'd definitely be willing to go for another Lackey offering but I don't feel like continuing this series.
I thought she did a good job overall, providing unique voices for all the characters, and non-irritating male voices. I do find in some audio books the reader's interpretation of the opposite sex can make or break a performance - this was not an issue for me in this audiobook.
Yes, but I did find myself losing interest at various points.
I got this one as 'easy listening' after going through some pretty heavy and fairly intense Sci Fi offerings. Unfortunately it didn't drag me in - perhaps it was TOO easy listening? So much time is spent establishing the in's and outs of this world - and while some inconsequential things are described in great detail, major action points (or bits of important dialogue) are glossed over. When a main character reaches a major plot point, where they have the opportunity to make a compelling speech - it's entirely skipped over with what amounted to a "He told them everything and asked, "So, what do you think?" This is the type of thing that ultimately put me off listening to more of this tale.

Revealed: Why Jose Mourinho cannot sack Man United legend Ryan Giggs
JOSE MOURINHO must keep Ryan Giggs on at Manchester United or risk a backlash from the fans, warns Gordon McQueen.
Ryan Giggs' position at Manchester United might be at risk if Jose Mourinho takes charge
Mourinho is reportedly locked in talks with United currently over a deal to take over from Louis van Gaal in the summer.
Express Sport understands his agent Jorge Mendes is sounding out a huge three-year deal for the Portuguese, believed to be worth £46.5million.
However, questions have been raised about Ryan Giggs' position on the coaching staff, should Jose Mourinho be appointed.
The former Chelsea boss was spotted in London this week with his trusted lieutenant Rui Faria, casting doubts over where Giggs will fit in to a new-look United.
But former Red Devils' defender McQueen believes Mourinho must keep the Welshman on in some capacity or risk turning the fans against him.
"Giggs is so popular with the fans it will work in Mourinho's favour to keep him on and get fans on his side," he told Sky Sports.
"I don't think he [Giggs] will go to another managerial job, he could learn from Mourinho."
Giggs spent his entire career at Old Trafford, making over 670 league appearances for the club and winning 13 Premier League titles.

Joseph Heller would have had a field day with the hearings of the US Commission on Civil Rights in Tallahassee last week.
When questioned about Florida's electoral chaos and possible civil rights violations connected to the November balloting, Governor Jeb Bush passed the buck, none too gallantly, to Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris. He had nothing to to do with staging elections, the President-elect's brother and Florida campaign manager maintained. Bush never mentioned that he had vetoed a $100,000 budget item that would have funded a campaign to instruct voters on how to understand and mark ballots. No, it was Harris who held the reins to the electoral system in the state he insisted.
Harris, in turn, swore several times that she knew almost nothing about the nuts and bolts of elections, despite the fact that Florida statutes charged her with running them. Commission Chairperson Mary Frances Berry later labeled Harris' testimony "laughable."
Harris fobbed off responsibility to her immediate underling, Clayton Roberts, director of the Florida Division of Elections. Roberts, equally versed in the tenets of Florida political leadership, tried to dump the disaster in the laps of county election supervisors, who he insisted had great autonomy in such matters.
But several supervisors had testified earlier, and angrily, to a total lack of state level support for non-partisan voter education projects and Roberts ran into trouble with the commissioners. Vice chairman Cruz Reynoso frankly told Roberts he didn't buy his testimony.
Cornered, Roberts then came up with a classic Catch-22 explanation for the electoral and post-electoral madness. Yes, his boss, Harris, had the statutory responsibility to set standards for the conduct of elections and any needed recounts, but she didn't have the legal authority to set those standards, so she didn't set them.
The explanation made eyes roll on the nine-member commission and it irritated Commissioner Victoria Wilson.
"We're on a merry-go-round called denial," said Wilson.. She accused Harris and Roberts of abandoning the county election supervisors.
"The voters ended up paying the price," Wilson said. "You didn't help the voters."
Not only did Florida's top officials refuse to take responsibility for the balloting mess, they said they had heard nothing about possible violations of the Voting Rights Act, despite the fact that the NAACP had held an all-day hearing in Miami on such allegations just four days after the election.

PARIS, Oct 17 (Reuters) - European stocks rose in early trading on Friday, halting the week's sharp drop after Wall Street pared losses as macro data soothed fears about the U.S. economic outlook.
At 0703 GMT, the FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares was up 0.4 percent at 1,250.48 points, after losing 3.7 percent earlier in the week.
But gains looked fragile, and a warning from Rolls-Royce that it would not return to growth next year fuelled worries over corporate profits and sent shares of the British engineering group down 7 percent.
The month-long sell-off in European stocks has prompted U.S.-based investors to slash their exposure to Europe, according to data from Thomson Reuters Lipper.
A Lipper poll of 109 U.S.-domiciled funds invested in European stocks, which include exchange-traded funds' (ETFs) holdings, shows net outflows of $1.3 billion in the seven days to Oct 15, the biggest weekly redemptions since Lipper started to monitor the data in 1992.

I dunno, some of us still use manual tuners. I like to have a bunch of antennas that each exhibit low SWR in my favorite parts of the bands on a switch. I'm an incurable band hopper when I'm operating. I've been using a manual (but remote) tuner with my apartment doublet for a couple of years now and am ready to go back to quicker band changes! Neither of my HF rigs (TS-440S and FT-857D) have tuners, and my big 1500W MFJ manual is a pretty capable beast, especially now that I've made it remotable, but when I have a backyard in a week, I'm going to change things up and have at least: A dedicated 20m antenna... probably a delta loop at first, eventually a Moxon rectangle. A 31 foot vertical over a good radial bed with switched fixed-tuned networks (or passthru on 40) to match it on 40, 30, 20 and possibly 80m It's worth having a tuner for wide band excursions, but I like nothing more than just flipping the switch to the right antenna position and operating. I'd probably have a different take on it if I actually owned an autotuner of any sort. Given that when I have enough space, I like to have an antenna for each band, I don't see any reason *not* to make them have a low SWR and just leave the tuner out of it.

Sum of squares
This applet finds the decomposition of any positive number greater than 1 into up to four squares.
Notice that it does not find the prime factorization of the number entered by the user, so some cases where two squares would be enough, it will be represented as a sum of three squares. For example, 10000998089 = 95317² + 30260².
Read the methods used in this applet.
You can also enter expressions that use the following operators and parentheses:
- + for addition
- - for subtraction
- * for multiplication
- / for integer division
- % for remainder
- ^ or ** for exponentiation
- n!: factorial
- p#: primorial (product of all primes less or equal than p).
- B(n): Previous probable prime before n
- F(n): Fibonacci number Fn
- L(n): Lucas number Ln = Fn-1 + Fn+1
- N(n): Next probable prime after n
- P(n): Unrestricted Partition Number (number of decompositions of n into sums of integers without regard to order).
You can use the prefix 0x for hexadecimal numbers, for example 0x38 is equal to 56.
Source code
You can download the source of the current program and the old sum of four squares applet from GitHub. Notice that the source code is in C language and you need the Emscripten environment in order to generate Javascript.

Decisions to make
I stopped in a local outlet, "Jet's Outdoors" to see if they had some things I needed. I was not successful, BUT, they DID have some things that cought my eye.
Remington 870 Express Pump 12 GA 3 inch, with the 18 inch barrel, parkerized, synthetic furniture. bead sight. Price was $279. The also had a special on a Benneli HD pump 12 Ga, 3 inch, ghost ring sights, synthetic furniture for $359.
I was getting ready to send an older Remington 870 Wingmaster off to Scattergun for the Remington Steal rebuild, but I think I would be as well off getting this one locally..............or the Benneli. Decisions, decisions.

I am living almost the same dilema, but you would have to
add the Mossberg 590 to make it complete. I have looked
into the Benelli Nova Special Purpose, and it seems to be
quite the pump gun. Very light, incredible sights and a very
smooth action. Local dealer has had very good success
selling them and claims that no one has complained yet.
You can by some Benelli HD or tactical accessories for the
Nova, but they are a little more expensive than say Choate
or Tacstar stuff, and the amount of things you can buy is
limited. Also the stock is also part of the receiver, so you
won't be changing that to a pistol grip, etc., etc.
On the other hand an 870 is an 870.
But the Mossy 590 is pretty sweet too.
Why am I even answering? I can't decide either!

A win-win situation, actually, all are decent shotguns. I prefer the 870 for reasons all too well known to regulars here, but any of those (or the other Big Fours) will serve us well.
One SMALL caveat, since the 870's so versatile with all the aftermarket stuff and extra bbls and so on, the most gun for the money may just be the 870, "1950's Technology" and all.

WEG is anything under $300 is a good deal, especially if there's choke tubes, or other accessories in the deal for no additional cost.
Often there's a bit of a sale on the few days after Xmas up to New Years. You may get a few bucks off then.

Morphine is absorbed and metabolized quickly by the body.
For most standard drug tests, like the DOT 5 panel drug screen, morphine will only be detectable for a couple of days after taking the medication. However, morphine is detectable in hair for longer periods of time.

What you need to have checked ( after having taken ms contin for 16 yrs) is your liver and liver enzyme count. Some doctors check that some only chrck it if requested. If there is any damage done after such a long term use, it will likely be to your liver.

Well I took ms contin for 8 years. 30mg 2xs a day. I had a hair follicle test for a job & the lady literally cut a four inch section off. She only needed a shoe lace width. Anyway I was ready for my positive test for that,Valium and oxycodone. Morphine never showed! In my hair! I took it that day even. Just blows my mind. The oxy showed up but not the morphine. Crazy.
24Josh Says:

3-5 days, depending on type of urine test. Some are more thorough than others. And if they send to lab for gas test, could actually be longer depending on if you only took once or if you take on daily/regular basis. The more you take and the longer you've taken, depending on body type, the longer in system. Anyway, 3-5 days is the rule of thumb when it comes to opiates and most other drugs, Marijuana and benzos being a couple of exceptions, they usually stay longer. 24 hours, nope, sorry, that is absolutely wrong and misleading.
23amnot23 Says:
Anywhere from 5-90 days will show up in the hair test. Hair tests should be used to identify repeated, chronic, or binge usage over an extended time frame. If you took it only for 4 days, they'll be able to tell that. I really think they are looking for more than just a little blip. I wouldn't worry that much, but I'd have an explanation ready if it came up.

If it is a 15mg ms contin taken 2x/daily, extended release? My Dr. Tested me on day 3 after last dose & said I didn't have it in my system - when I HAD taken mine right! He has a habit of shorting me 2-6 days per month *accidentally", but still drug tests you when he did not give you a full supply in between appts! I took my last dose as scheduled & 3 days later when I saw him it was not in my system like he said it should have been.

There is no way you will pass a hair test in 4 days.
18AstroGirl Says:
Prescription medications can be deadly if not taken properly, especially opiates. I am currently working at the California Poison Control Center and all of my info is correct and up to date. MS Contin is morphine sulfate and comes in several different mg's depending on what you are taking it for. I NEVER judge a person for the way they take their medications. I don't beat around the bush and pretend people aren't abusing it. However you take it, just be careful. A good tool in measuring the amount of time morphine needs to clear out of your system is: 30 mg = 24 hrs. Drink lots of water and cranberry juice. The MS will be undetectable in urine. Good Luck and let me know if you need anything else.

It's detectable up to 90 days in your hair. Supposedly. That's what I read somewhere. Don't take my words as fact but it's something to think about. Good luck on the job

i took two 60mg extended release ms cottin on Saturday will it show up on my urine test for pain management on Wednesday?
13Jayray Says:
via mobile
MS Contin, with prolonged use over 60 days, can be detected in urinalysis for about 3-5 days. If taken for a short period, 2 weeks or less, 72 hours. Also if you have a lot of body fat the numbers are slightly higher.
12guy smiley Says:
i take 90 mg of MS cotton a day for the past 30 days...how long before i can pass a urine test
11Naancy Says:
According to my Cancer doctor,MS Contin if one of the most our forms of the narcotics and the less likley to do damage to any of any of your organs. I am on my 13th year and can't find anything else that works just as well either. It's sad. I would rather be on something that is NOT addicting, but at this point I have no choice either.good. Luck. Let me know if you need anything else.

What is good to eat while one is getting past the vomiting phase and how long is that phase likely to last? I've been 60 mg a day for about three weeks. Less than a week after stopping, I cannot keep anything down after about 6p.m.Thank you. Blessings and warm regards

The ball bounced off the corner post, but freshman Kelby Gaunce was there to score her first varsity goal for the 1-nil lead.
Shortly after this goal, Bolin scored her first goal of the season on a perfect throw from senior Hannah Thomas.

A roadside bomb destroyed a crowded minibus Thursday in western Afghanistan, killing 14 passengers who were all members of an extended family, a provincial official said.
Violence has been on the rise across much of Afghanistan, even as the White House released a roundly positive review of its military strategy here.
Rafi Behrozan, the spokesman for the Herat governor, said four others were wounded in the powerful morning blast in the Kushk Kuhna district of Herat province. Two additional bombs were found nearby on the same road but were defused by Afghan policemen, he added.
"The explosion was very strong and the vehicle was destroyed. The majority of these aboard were killed," Behrozan said.
The U.S. government review released Thursday said that President Barack Obama's expansion of the war in Afghanistan has eroded the power of the al-Qaida terrorists who attacked America in 2001 and the resurgent Taliban militants who gave them cover.
But the picture on the ground is more complicated.
There have been numerous successes with rounding up those seen as ringleaders, but violence and insecurity have also increased in areas outside of the Taliban heartland in the south.
The international Red Cross said Wednesday that it saw the country deteriorating into a much more violent state overall, with a proliferation of armed groups that made it difficult for the organization to get aid out.
Also Thursday, the Afghan Defense Ministry said a coalition airstrike the previous day killed four Afghan soldiers after they were mistaken for militants.
Afghan Defense Ministry spokesman Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi said the soldiers had left their base in Helmand's Musa Qala district on Wednesday night when they came under fire from NATO planes.
A NATO statement said the strike was called in by a joint Afghan-NATO patrol that was attacked by insurgents.
"A coalition aircraft positively identified the insurgent firing position and conducted an airstrike," NATO said.
The coalition said it had received reports that four Afghan soldiers were killed and said it was investigating.
There have been other incidents this year in which NATO troops mistakenly killed Afghan forces.
In August, three Afghan policemen were killed in northern Jowzjan province in an airstrike aimed at insurgents who were attacking them. In July, In July, a botched NATO airstrike killed six Afghan soldiers in Ghazni province in the east. The coalition said the Afghan army unit gave the wrong location to international forces.
In the latest arrests, Afghan forces took into custody the Taliban shadow governor of eastern Khost province on Wednesday, along with four other militants, said Gen. Nahim Momam, a provincial intelligence chief for Kandahar province. The five were arrested in Kandahar, he said.

Thurman Arnold, famed capital-baiter and labor-baiter, was scheduled to bait labor again before a House Judiciary subcommittee last week. Instead the committee received a little note from Mr. Arnold's boss, Attorney General Francis Biddie, politely informing them he preferred not to have Mr. Arnold appear. His reasons: 1) the bills in question (to curb labor racketeers) were not concerned with the Justice Department; 2) Mr. Arnold had "heretofore expressed himself" on the matter of labor racketeering and his views were well known.

Brayan Villarreal's family unharmed in kidnapping attempt
DETROIT — The Detroit Tigers say reliever Brayan Villarreal is not expected to leave spring training after his family escaped unharmed from a kidnapping attempt in Venezuela on Friday night.
Villarreal has remained with the team. Manager Jim Leyland did not want to comment further about the matter, saying Sunday: "The less said, the better."
Villarreal went 3-5 with a 2.63 ERA last year in 50 appearances. The 25-year-old right-hander struck out 66 hitters in 54 2-3 innings.

The Sodexo Foundation Names Frances M. Williams a Hero of Everyday Life for Her Commitment to Fight Hunger
Founder of Do Over Ministry devotes countless hours to feeding the hungry in Philadelphia's communities
Jun 09, 2011, 15:00 ET from Sodexo Foundation
GAITHERSBURG, Md., June 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Frances M. Williams is the founder and president of Do Over Ministry, a labor of love that she established with the sole purpose of providing meals, clothing, and emotional support for those in the community stricken with poverty. Her commitment to helping those less fortunate earned her recognition by the Sodexo Foundation as a 2011 Hero of Everyday Life. Williams will be honored by the anti-hunger charitable arm of Sodexo, Inc., at the foundation's annual fundraising dinner on June 9 in Washington, D.C., where she will also receive a $5,000 grant for the hunger-related charity of her choice, Do Over Ministry.
Williams founded Do Over Ministry in 2006. Since then, it has grown from a one-woman effort into a force of over 80 volunteers serving more than 2,000 meals each year. In addition to providing food, Williams and her organization offer clothing, career guidance, education, and nutritional counseling to local residents. From the beginning, she worked to actively engage and recruit approximately 50 Sodexo employees to volunteer at various Do Over Ministry events including dinner preparations and food drives.
"Frances Williams is a great example of how each of us should take hunger personally, providing real solutions to people in the communities around us," said Robert A. Stern, president, the Sodexo Foundation. "It is especially important where childhood hunger is concerned given the life-long impact that a reliable source of food can make in a child's health and academic performance."
One in four people in a soup kitchen line is a child, and more than one in three households served by food pantries includes children. In 1999 the Sodexo Foundation was created to advance Sodexo's commitment to fight hunger. In January 2011 it announced a renewed commitment to ensure that every child in the United States, especially those most at-risk, grows up with dependable access to enough nutritious food to enable them to lead a healthy, productive life.
Williams is one of eight Heroes of Everyday Life recognized by the Sodexo Foundation. The other heroes include: Angel L. Gonzalez, Camden, N.J.; Charmion Wood, Gaithersburg, Md.; Julia Pipkins, Carrollton, Texas; Kerwin M. Higashi, Redmond, Wash.; Lucas Minor, Bellingham, Wash.; Patty Johnson, Willowbrook, Ill. ; Ryan Wilson, Allison Park, Pa.

UPDATED — Mayor of Forks enters Clallam County commissioner race today

FORKS — Bryon Monohon, mayor of Forks, announced today (Thursday) that he will run as an independent candidate for Clallam County commissioner in District 3.
District 3 covers Forks and the western third of Clallam County and is now represented by Mike Doherty.
Port Angeles City Councilwoman Sissi Bruch, a Democrat, and Bill Peach of Forks, a retired forester and a Republican, have already filed for the seat.
Doherty, a Democrat, said Wednesday he was still considering whether to seek a fifth four-year term. Brunch has said she will withdraw her name if Doherty runs.
Monohon, 51, a substitute school teacher, was re-elected by Forks residents to a second four-year term as the town's mayor in November 2013. Forks has a "strong mayor" system of government, unlike Port Angeles, Sequim and Port Townsend, and he is the town's top administrative official. overseeing the city departments. The job is unpaid.
"I have decided to run as an independent," Monohon said in a statement.
"I've served in a non-partisan role for many years, and I'm very much a moderate who is interested in listening to what people have to say on both sides of the political spectrum.
"I have always worked for people first before a party and as a result I represent both liberal and conservative issues.
"My established track record clearly shows that I am a fiscal conservative, and I am always concerned about maintaining strong property rights, low taxes, and making sure there is a return of value for tax-payers.
"At the same time we have to be very aware of the realistic challenges that we all face in the future to provide for a healthy environment for our children. I can maintain a sense of balance in the county as well as utilize my years of contacts that I have developed being mayor. I look forward to sharing my ideas with the voters.
Asked if he would remain as Forks mayor if elected as a county commissioner, he replied in an email to the Peninsula Daily News:
"I will stay on as mayor no matter what through the end of 2014.
"MRSC considers mayor and council member to be 'conflicting' positions, so while technically I could maintain both, it would make sense to step down as mayor upon assuming the commissioner's seat. (I've never been a fan of one person holding two positions.)
"The vacated mayor's position then falls to the deputy mayor (currently Mike Breidenbach) or else down the line of City Council seniority until a council member accepts the position."
MRSC is the Municipal Research and Services Center, an independent nonprofit advisory group to the state's local governments.
Former city councilman
Before being taking office as mayor in January 2010, he was a Forks city councilman from 2004-09. He has also served terms on the Clallam Transit board of directors and the Clallam County Board of Health.
Monohon has a B.A. in history from Lewis & Clark College and a B.S. in forest resources from the University of Washington. He is a substitute teacher in the Quillayute Valley School District. His wife, Beatrice, is a mental health therapist, and their son Louie is a sophomore math major at Seattle University.
He is the principal trombonist in the Port Angeles Symphony and plays in other music groups.
Online and in-person filing for 34 positions in Clallam County ends at 4:30 p.m. Friday.
Any position with more than two candidates signed up will be on the Aug. 5 primary ballot. The vote will narrow the field to two who will vie in the Nov. 4 general election.

"Tempo of the Damned" is an album, that by most means, should not exist. The reunion with Paul Baloff was inspiring some small hope in my system the Exodus could release a long shot followup to the amazing "Bonded by Blood" but this was not to be. Baloff dies, (R.I.P. king of thug-thrash), the band rehires the whiney Steve "Zetro" Souza and now we have this new platter of middling thrash metal.
First off, I will start with the compliments...the band are tight. Probably tighter than ever before. The stop on a dime guitar lurches and drumming really prove who the Bay Area's best musical thrashers were from the early 80's...the production too is top notch. Had this had better songwriting, the sound would have brought an amazing lift to the overall product and we would have had Bonded in Blood part 2.
Sadly...amazing musicianship and tight production cannot fix a lack of amazing songs and outdated attempts at lyrical rage. The CD falls off the tracks when the band starts to shamble through songs that all bear quality riffs but no real discerning hooks or interesting movements. From afar, the songwriting is beefy thrash with muscular riffcraft, but upon closer examination it's simply junk food that snows the listening over with chugging intensity over chugging creativity. The lyrics sound like angry punk rock, without the convincing rage to back up the message. This form of CNN metal only worked when handled with education and wit, not random opinion polls taken in ones back yard. This is hardly an artistic triumph, more a triumph of good production and slamming, energetic riffwork to please you in the moment.
I suggest this CD for all thrash addicts, Exodus fans and the like, but don't be expecting an truly inspired work from the old legends, just be expecting another moshfest that you'll not even be spinning this time next year.
It could have been worse...but it could have been MUCH better.
Let's hope this is the last...

After the demolition of Mexico at La Roja Wedding, Chile now have their eyes on a successful defence of their crown. However, if they are going to make the final showdown they will have to do so without their king, with Arturo Vidal suspended for this semi-final.
Colombia and Chile met in Santiago last November in a 1-1 draw and both teams have scored in four of the last five meetings between the pair, so neutrals might expect a few more goals following the seven that Chile put past Mexico in the last round.
Colombia's quarter-final was a contrasting affair to the Mexico game as it finished goalless and was settled by penalties after a disappointing contest but Colombia deserved to go through and now have a chance to make their first Copa final since 2001. They claimed the trophy on that occasion and with the likes of James Rodriguez, Carlos Bacca and Juan Cuadrado in attack, and Jeison Murillo marshalling the defence they have a squad that is capable of repeating that success.
Get a £50 FREE BET when you open an account with NETBET
Despite their disappointing showing in this tournament last year Colombia still beat Brazil 1-0 and only lost to Argentina on penalties after a nil-nil, so they're clearly a hard side to beat. Since the start of the 2012/13 season they've played 15 matches against teams in the top 10 of our rankings and have gone W5-D6-L4 while conceding just 12 goals and with 10/15 games having fewer than three strikes.
Chile were unbelievable in their quarter-final as they ended the longest unbeaten streak in international football but repeating that performance will be almost impossible. There have been 21 games at major tournaments (Copas, Euros or World Cups) since 1990 where one side had won their previous match by at least five clear goals and they've gone just W8-D9-L4 in the next game. Furthermore, seven of the last 11 have actually failed to score and if we just look at knockout matches the results change to W2-D4-L1 with three 0-0s and four failures to score.
The idea therefore that this will be low scoring runs against the trend of Chile's recent games, however, as eight of their last nine have had at least three goals. Things do tend to be tighter when they are facing quality teams though. Since 2014, 10 of their 15 matches against teams in our top 10 finished with fewer than three goals as they won only three in 90 minutes (W3-D5-L7).
For all of Chile's excellence against Mexico there will surely be a bit of a comedown in this game and with Arturo Vidal out they are a very different side. Colombia certainly have the talent and capabilities to put an end to Chile's defence and we do have them ranked higher. If anything, the draw looks the best bet in the match outcome odds and there have been eight 0-0s in 44 major semi-finals since 1990 which makes the correct score a touch of value.

10 things to know about filing your taxes
The rules for filing taxes can change from year to year so, taxpayers have to keep up. Here's a look at rules and some tips for preparing your 2013 return from Robert S. Fineman, a certified public accountant from Norwood.
Income tax rates for 2013
Federal rates range from 10 percent to 35 percent unless taxable income exceeds $400,000 for singles or $450,000 for married couples. The rate on income above those amounts is 39.6 percent.
Medicare tax
A 0.9 percent Medicare surtax is imposed on wages and self-employment income exceeding $200,000 for singles and $250,000 for married couples. The threshold is $125,000 for married taxpayers who file separately, Fineman said.
There's also a new 3.8 percent Medicare tax imposed on unearned income, such as investments, for singles with modified adjusted growth income exceeding $200,000, and for couples with adjusted growth income exceeding $250,000.
Alternative minimum tax
Exemption amount for 2013 is $51,900 for singles and $80,800 for married couples.
Same-sex couples
Same-sex couples are considered married for tax purposes if they are legally married in a jurisdiction that recognized their marriage, regardless of where they currently live.
Estate and gift taxes
Annual tax-free gifts are allowed with a limit of $14,000 per gift. The federal estate tax exemption is set at $5.2 million, with a top tax rate of 40 percent.
Itemized deductions
These items include state, real estate, and automobile excise taxes that you have already paid, mortgage interest payments, and charitable donations.
But there are limits on benefits from these deductions for single taxpayers who have an adjusted gross income of $250,000 or more, and for married couples with an adjusted gross income of $300,00 or more.
For taxpayers in those income brackets, there are two options for calculating the limits on their itemized deductions. They can take a reduction that is equal to 3 percent of the money they earned beyond the threshold. Or, they can take a reduction that is equal to 80 percent of their itemized deductions.
Does your college student qualify for an exemption?
Even if your child is a full-time student under age 24, claiming the exemption on your return may depend on how much financial support he or she gets from parents.
The expenses to consider include food, clothing, tuition, and educational fees. If your child didn't have the means to provide more than one-half the cost of those expenses, then you qualify. Failing the support test can deny you the dependency exemption and education-related tax breaks.
It also may make sense for your college student to claim his or her own exemption.
The exemptions begin to phase our for household incomes of $300,000, or $250,000 if you're single, Fineman said.
"Your child may benefit from the exemption more than you will, by virtue of being able to utilize the full amount and any potential education tax credits,'' Fineman said.
The full exemption amount is $3,900.
Harvest your losses – or gains
For your 2013 return, the federal tax rate for gains on sales of assets you've owned for more than a year can be as high as 20 percent. That rate applies when your taxable income reaches $400,000 as a single filer, or $450,000 when you're married and filing jointly.
Married couples filing jointly who report up to $72,500 in income are not taxed on capital gains. Same goes for single taxpayers with income up to $36,250.
Here are the remaining rates:
Married couples filing jointly:
15 percent for taxable income between $72,500 and $450,000;
20 percent for taxable income over $450,000.
Single taxpayers:
15 percent for taxable income between $36,250 and $400,000;
20 percent for taxable income over $400,000.
Calculate your investments' tax efficiency
It's important to put your money in the right place from a tax point of view, said Fineman.
For investments that are not set aside in retirement accounts, Fineman recommends municipal and government bonds because they are not taxable. If the bonds are issued in your state of residency, they are also exempt from state tax.
Other good choices from a tax point of view are growth stocks, mutual funds, tax-deferred annuities, oil and gas investments, and growth-oriented real estate investment trusts, he said.
When choosing investments for retirement accounts, consider stocks and mutual funds that pay dividends, taxable bonds, real estate investment trusts that are income-oriented, and mutual funds that do a lot of trades, and therefore, could generate a lot of capital gains, Fineman said.
Add up equipment and asset purchases for your business
Businesses can purchase up to $500,000 in new or used equipment and other assets and expense it all, Fineman said. The $500,000 cut off will drop next year.
If you are reporting a loss for the tax year that just ended, you can carry write-offs for equipment and assets forward to 2014.
If asset purchases for your business total $560,000 or more, you can take a bonus appreciation of 50 percent. In this case, only purchases of new equipment qualify.

Generally ---as in, "with full generality"--- this is phrased in terms of recursion over the least fixed point of a functor (as presented by Jake), but your version is more direct about what's going on. The short explanation is that |cata f| applies |f| over a recursive datastructure once at each level from the bottom up. A fairly trivial example of this is the |maybe| function for Maybe, an easy non-trivial example is the |foldr| function over lists[2]. Your code is giving the version for binary trees (with Var/Lit serving as []/Nothing to terminate the recursion). A few months ago vicky wrote some code to automatically generate catamorphisms at a particular recursive type[3], though I can't say that it'd be very helpful if you didn't already know what was going on. In addition to Edward Kmett's work, Wouter Swierstra's _Data Types a la Carte_[4] may be helpful to work through. In the end you'll probably just want to stick with the above, unless you really have something to gain by adding in the additional generality of category-extras or DTalC. Things you may wish to gain: a better understanding of category theory; other recursion patterns for free; ability to open up the Expr coproduct; higher-order aesthetics. [1] http://comonad.com/reader/2008/catamorphism [2] Though the Prelude/Data.List version of that abstract function reifies the two bodies of "f" as two separate arguments. Similarly for |maybe|. In general there's a body of f for each branch of the union/coproduct. [3] http://hpaste.org/7682 [4] http://wadler.blogspot.com/2008/02/data-types-la-carte.html -- Live well, ~wren

When you've risked arrest by federal law enforcement, avoided having your crop stolen by Mexican drug cartels and even defeated the dreaded mould, you want to make sure you get every last drop of value from your plants.
That's why this grower in northern California is carefully collecting all the small leaves that an army of 'trimmers' have cut from around the marijuana plant buds.
Although it's the flowering heads that hold the most value, the surrounding leaves pick up a lot of the crystals and fine hairs from inside the buds.

Julianna - small frame, little mileage (kids arrived shortly after the build!). Bearings are fine and shock works great. £300 shipped.
Blur - anodized black, last of the USA made classic Blur's factory fitted with the Big Foot rear triangle. Shown in the pics with a longer coil shock (ghetto LT) but this is going complete with the original fox RP3 pro pedal (barely used).

HOTEL REVIEW: Oro Verde Cuenca — Modern Hotel, Historic Ecuador
As part of my recent visit to Ecuador during the tourism conference called TravelMart Latin America, I was among a group of journalists invited to stay at the Oro Verde, an upscale hotel in the city of Cuenca (don't miss the photo gallery that accompanies my Top 5 Reasons to Visit Cuenca). Here are my impressions of the hotel.
THE STYLE: The city of Cuenca may be known for the historic architecture that graces its downtown, but the Oro Verde is a decidedly modern construction from the 20th Century. The hotel is in the midst of an ongoing renovation that's bringing an updated, contemporary style to the property — for now, the guest rooms reflect this attractive new style; the public areas have more traditional decor, but are slated for renovation. Hospitality is definitely a calling card here; after a late-night flight from Quito (read my LAN Airlines flight review here), it was wonderful to be greeted at the reception desk with a comforting glass of canelazo, a warm alcoholic beverage made from aguardiente, sugar and water boiled with cinnamon. (If cocktails are your thing, by the way, check out LatinFlyer's new recipe book, Mexican Cocktails: Libations & Inspiration from Top Hotels Bars & Restaurants Around Mexico — prices start at just $2.99 for the eBook!)
THE GUEST ROOMS: I stayed in room 314, one of the renovated accommodations, which has fresh, modern style with dark wood furnishings, lovely wood floors and attractive lighting. The room had a safe deposit box, mini-fridge and minibar, large flat-screen TV mounted on the wall, a large work desk and clock radio. The king-size bed was especially comfortable, with a total of five large pillows and two throw pillows (the more pillows the better, in my book). The bathroom featured a walk-in shower with glass divider and a large showerhead, and amenities from Verbena & Romero. WiFi is free but seemed to be much stronger in the public areas than in my guest room.
HOTEL FEATURES: The hotel has a full-service restaurant that serves generous portions, as well as a bar, heated outdoor swimming pool and a fitness center with Turkish bath and massage room. Like the Hilton Colon, where I stayed in the city of Quito during this Ecuador trip, the Oro Verde is focused heavily on serving the needs of business travelers, with meeting space to accommodate up to 500 people. If you're looking for a more nature-oriented experience in Ecuador, consider a smaller property like the Bellavista Cloud Forest Reserve & Lodge, which I also visited on this trip.
BEST FOR: Business travelers as well as vacationers looking for a full-service, chain-style hotel in Cuenca in one of the city's newer neighborhoods, a few minutes by car or taxi from the historic center.
