Today, Treasury and the IRS issued final and temporary regulations (TD 9722) preventing a corporate partner from avoiding corporate-level gain through transactions with a partnership involving equity interests of the partner. The text of the temporary regulations serves as the text of concurrently issued proposed regulations (REG-149518-03).
According to the preamble to the final and temporary regulations, the "purpose of these regulations authorized under section 337(d) is to prevent corporate taxpayers from using a partnership to circumvent gain required to be recognized under section 311(b) or section 336(a)." The regulations apply when a partnership, either directly or indirectly, owns, acquires, or distributes stock of the corporate partner. Under these regulations, a corporate partner may recognize gain when it is treated as acquiring or increasing its interest in stock of the corporate partner held by a partnership in exchange for appreciated property in a manner that avoids gain recognition under section 311(b) or section 336(a). These regulations also retain, with some modifications, the deemed redemption rule imposed under the now-withdrawn 1992 proposed regulations.
The final and temporary regulations are effective June 12. Comments on the proposed regulations are due by September 10.

Legend of Asahiel
This article reads like a review rather than an encyclopedic description of the subject. (December 2007)
This article does not cite any sources. (July 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Legend of Asahiel is a series of epic fantasy novels written by author/screenwriter Eldon Thompson and published by HarperCollins (Eos). The series was launched in May 2005 with the hardcover release of The Crimson Sword. The Obsidian Key followed in 2006. The concluding novel, The Divine Talisman, was released in 2008.[1]
The series has been described as a throwback to classic fantasy stories such as J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Lloyd Alexander's The Prydain Chronicles, and Terry Brooks's early Shannara books. The structural formula is described by Thompson as that of an Aristotelian trilogy, with each volume representing one of three acts of a larger story arc.[2]
The name of the series stems from the Swords of Asahiel--described within the story as legendary talismans endowed with a divine fire, wielded by god-like avatars in the forging of the earth. Below is a brief introduction to each novel, taken from the jacket copy of that particular volume.
The Crimson Sword[edit]
The Age of Man has begun. Gone are the elves and dwarves, orcs and trolls, and other creatures of legend. Having driven the "undesirables" from their lands, the kingdoms of the island continent of Pentania have started a new chapter in human history. The gods are a myth, magic is a forsaken art, and the avatars, shepherds of the races, have faded into the mists of time. Now, mankind will rule. But they are not alone.
When the king of Alson is assassinated and the capital besieged by a nefarious wizard, even the remote village of Diln is not immune from the chaos and terror that sweep the realm. Torn from his home, young Jarom begins a dangerous journey to ask for aid against the implacable usurper.
But soon the machinations of a mysterious council lead Jarom to a seemingly preordained quest: to find one of the mythical Swords of Asahiel, the divine talismans used by the elven avatars in the forging of the earth itself. He must do so not only to establish himself as a leader for his people, but to help save a fledgling, quarrelsome mankind. For the Demon Queen Spithaera has awakened from the Abyss, and humanity is about to learn how very powerless it can be against the ancient terrors of the world.
And whether real or imagined, destiny is not so easily claimed. [3]
The Obsidian Key[edit]
The Age of Man, so quickly heralded, is already under siege. Shaken by the catastrophic war with the Demon Queen Spithaera, Pentania wrestles with a new world of possibility and potential disaster.
And humanity will never be the same.
In his epic battle with the Demon Queen, young Jarom became Torin, King of Alson. Now, with bitter foes on all sides, he must forge his kingdom from the ruins of an empire and begin anew. But it is too soon to forget the past entirely. For in recklessly reclaiming the mythical Sword of Asahiel, Torin reopened a dimensional breach no longer sealed by its power. Now, creatures of legend and nightmare are returning, as if to reclaim what was once theirs—driven by the terrifying Illysp, foul spirits who possess the bodies and enslave the souls of all.
As the shadowy host advances, Torin must undertake a dangerous voyage to learn the secrets of a lost people who once overcame these relentless marauders. Yet enemies old and those unknown have different plans for king and country, and even if Torin can succeed, it may already be too late. [4]
The Divine Talisman[edit]
To protect his people from the demonic Illysp, Torin, king of Alson, made the ultimate sacrifice. Now, as his best friend and his former love seek to salvage the shattered lands beyond their borders, a treacherous assault costs them their most powerful weapon—the fabled Crimson Sword.
Hopelessly outmatched, Pentania's citizens fight to flee their conquered homeland, or perish. Yet an even greater threat looms. For the Leviathan has been awakened, an unfathomable creature whose wrath could single-handedly destroy the entire world.
Hope—if any remains—lies in the efforts of a lone elf, a mad witch, and a fallen hero charged with unraveling a series of divine riddles. Yet, to do so, they must first find a way to break the very bonds of Illysp possession... [5]

Cory Monteith
July 15, 2011 by Post Team
Cory Monteith, If you know that Chris Colfer will not return to "Glee" Season 4 of the Internet, you have something in common with the actor – which is how he, too, discovered that his eventual departure.
On Wednesday, "Glee," creator Ryan Murphy told The Hollywood Reporter that the characters Colfer, Lea Michele and Cory Monteith are "graduating" after Season 3. "We've never done anything for the book," said Murphy. "We made that decision and involved Chris and Leah and thought it was a good idea. Both rely on the deed and trust me and I felt it would be nice to have a closed and open experience to come out while on top. "
Emmy nominated Colfer would not seem to know as soon as she told Access Hollywood that he learned the news Wednesday Twitter.
"Yes I heard that made the announcement," he said. "I do not necessarily know it would be our last season next year, I knew something was coming eventually. I mean, can not be there forever … do not necessarily want to go so soon, but I mean okay. Is what it is? And all things come to an end. "
Actor 21 years old, who has a lot of other projects to fill the "Glee"-less time, said he had a good run in the program.
"As an artist, I'm done," he said. "I have two Emmy nominations and only listen to people in the world of how much the character has helped people. If it is time to conclude, I am satisfied with it, and I'm fine with it."

Abuja — The Camerounian armed forces has handed over to the Nigerian military several suspected members of the Boko Haram terrorist group.
The Director of Army Public Relations (DAPR), Col. Sani Usman in a statement yesterday, said that the "cooperation with our neighbours have brought renewed vigour and is yielding fruitful result in the fight against the Boko Haram terrorists".
For instance, Usman said, apart from recording tremendous success, troops of 26 Task Force Brigade, have married up with Cameroonian forces for joint operations in Kirawa junction.
He said: "Although they have not met any of the terrorists in the axis of advance, they rescued 8 men, 36 women and 68 children in the area.
"To further consolidate on the cordial relationship, the Commander of Cameroonian 1st Battalion, paid courtesy call on his counterpart, the Commanding Officer of 121 Task Force Battalion in Pulka. The visiting unit assisted with the demining of a section of the road between Kirawa Junction to Pulka and handed over two suspected Boko Haram terrorists to the Nigerian unit."

|Teddy Tahu Rhodes in his role as "Don Giovanni" for Opera Australia. [Photo:Jeff Busby]
It's interesting that a man as unassuming and reflective as Teddy Tahu Rhodes is best known for portraying some of the greatest cads in opera: Don Giovanni, Count Almaviva, Joe de Rocher, Stanley Kowalski.
Rhodes is currently performing the role of Stanley Kowalski in André Previn's A Streetcar Named Desire in Melbourne for Opera Australia. It's been seven years since his debut as Stanley for Austin Opera, Texas. At that time, he decided against reading Tennessee Williams's play or watching the cinema version for which Marlon Brando received an Academy Award nomination.
"I definitely didn't watch the movie, purely because of Brando's influence over the role. It was more of an intimidation factor than anything else. You deal with a character who's so iconic in American society, played by the greatest actor. All the directors I've worked with have said make your own way."
Now, as a veteran of the role through further seasons in Washington, Vienna and Sydney, he has relented and watched the film. "It was interesting to see Brando after I'd done it for myself. It's not just the danger, he's subtle at times. In the opera, the music for Stanley is very powerful. You can't hold back on the singing side of it. The vocal side of it seems to require a robust, dark sound. Watching the movie doesn't suggest that sound, it's not so robust.
"So I have to be very careful not to be aggressive all the time otherwise you lose the Stanley Kowalski a litle bit. The more I do it, the more I try to show another side because if he was all aggression and never tender why would his wife Stella be remotely interested in staying with him?"
Rhodes has searched for ways to colour the role without ever condoning the character's violence. "The reason he's aggressive is because his life's been invaded and turned upside down. There are flashpoints for him. Most of the aggression is motivated by questioning of his character, his status or his ancestry. If you can find a way somewhere for just a little bit of sympathy for Stanley, that means you can understand some of his aggression, though obviously not all of it."
In rehearsals for the current Melbourne season, the physical altercations were carefully co-ordinated. Antoinette Halloran as Stella, and particularly Yvonne Kenny as her sister Blanche, needed to be confident that things would go according to plan during the show.
"We have to know what's going on, but within that, need to make it not too choreographed. It was important Vonnie knew I was always going to be in control when I grabbed her and that she was in control too because physically it's intimidating. Yvonne's been fabulous, She's been thrown around by me half the night, and not only me. It's a tough night for her."
Both the Sydney and Melbourne seasons of Streetcar were directed by Bruce Beresford and Rhodes appreciated his guidance. "This role is both cinematic and stage-driven, and then you add the music. In Bruce it's a privilege to have someone you can trust. He's a very supportive general."
|Rhodes in the Viennese production of A Streetcar Named Desire
Rhodes expected an American classic such as Streetcar would transfer well to other English-speaking countries, but was surprised when he was booked for the show in Vienna. The production was mounted in the intimate Theater an der Wien. "I had audience members sitting literally parallel with me when I was down front of the stage. They could almost reach out and touch me at times. With the audience being so much on top of the show in a small space, it can be so much more confronting." To his astonishment, despite being sung in English with German surtitles, the show received the most enthusiastic response he's experienced in his career.
Although he maintains his fitness and good health, he is dubious about his prospects of performing Stanley Kowalski beyond the Melbourne season. "I might be pushing past the right age these days. With certain roles you have to be careful to step aside at the right time. I'd think very seriously before doing the role again. If I got asked, I could probably do it once more, I guess. But because of my schedule, that would be two or three years out from now and that would definitely be it."
Throughout his career, Rhodes has enjoyed the opportunity to sing contemporary music. "Once you get involved and are seen as being able to do it, it's kind of a niche area. Even if you don't necessarily like the music the first time you do it, it's amazing when you look back or do it a second time that it becomes so much more profound as you start to understand it. All the classics we've heard so many times that when we come to them, we know what the tunes are and have an understanding. With Streetcar, probably the casual listener wouldn't think Stanley's got a tune, but I hear the tunes all the time now. And you can hear all the harmonies and what the composer was intending. I think it would be a great show to see three or four times, the way that people see Don Giovanni or La Bohème so many times that they know the music."

Aside from Don Giovanni, Rhodes's favourite role is from Dead Man Walking by composer Jake Heggie. He joined the alternate cast as deathrow prisoner Joe de Rocher in the 2000 world premiere season at San Francisco Opera. "Performing the role moved me to tears night after night. And having contact with Sister Helen Prejean, whom the opera was written about, was amazing.
"The story was so significant in the United States that it almost had a political element. It raised questions with those supporting and those opposing the death penalty standing outside the opera house in San Francisco. The opera had the potential to touch people more deeply there than perhaps here where there is no death penalty."
Dead Man Walking launched Rhodes in the US and he was delighted when Heggie wrote a role for him in his next opera. "Jake was always so emotionally moved by what was done with his work. I was very lucky to do The End of the Affair, though I don't think I was so successful in that. If I had another crack at it now, it'd be a different story."
The cast of Affair was distinctly Australasian. Rhodes played the illicit lover of Cheryl Barker, whose real-life husband Peter Coleman-Wright played her cuckolded stage husband. The opera opened with a sensual love scene between Rhodes and Barker. "It was very funny at times, having Peter sit there in the wings. He was extremely gracious!
|Rhodes and Cheryl Barker in Houston Opera's The End of the Affair
"That was the first time I worked with Cheryl and we all had a great time doing it. Peter is the guy I look up to as a baritone singing in Australia, so working with him was quite intimidating at first. He's a lot more experienced than I am and done a lot more than I have or ever will do. I still go to him for advice at times."
Another supporter of Rhodes has been Simone Young, who conducted his first Don Giovanni. "I've always had the greatest respect for her. She has been a wonderful mentor for me." A few years ago, Young conducted Rhodes in Henze's L'Upupa at Hamburg State Opera, where she is musical director. "That was a real challenge for me, my goodness. Singing German in a German house. I'd love to have a chance to do it again. It's strange, even now just into my early 40s, I feel capable of dealing with so much more than I did even two or three years ago. When you attack a very difficult work, it's hard to be completely satisfied with it. You can always look back and think you could have done it a whole lot better. Maybe you think a little bit differently about it now, but it's gone by that stage. You just have to accept it and move onto the next thing."
|Rhodes in L'Upupa und der Triumph der Sohnesliebe, Staatsoper Hamburg 2006
In 2008, Rhodes made his debut at the Met as Ned Keene in Peter Grimes. "The Met is somewhere I didn't imagine I'd ever ascend to, though I was surprisingly relaxed once I got there. Once you walked through the doors you were treated like anyone else was treated. And like anywhere else, you're expected to do the best job you can possibly do. But walking out on the enormous Met stage was quite daunting. I've been on a lot of stages and tend to know how to sing out to an audience but when I got on that stage for the first time I found myself glued to the conductor. He kept saying 'No, no, Teddy, you can look out to the house, you're fine. Don't worry, you know what you're doing.' It was just that I wasn't used to seeing such wide space. You can't take the whole space in when you sing there, it's so big."
He has managed to keep his Met appearances in perspective. "As you grow and start to ascend to different levels in a career, the pressure comes more from yourself, but the excitement never goes. There are so many points that you can look at and say 'that's amazing'. I never imaged when I was working as an accountant in Christchurch that I would ever stand on the Sydney Opera House stage. That was equally amazing to me. If I hadn't played Dandini in La Cenerentola there, my very first role for Opera Australia; if it hadn't been for that, none of the rest of it would have happened.
"It's still exciting to stand on a new stage, wherever that might be. There's a huge profile attached to singing at the Met and rightly so, but it's also amazing to be singing André Previn's music with Bruce Beresford directing and Orchestra Victoria playing here in Melbourne. Once you get on the stage, regardless of where you are, you get immersed in what you're doing. It's afterwards you take stock of what you've been involved in."
|Rhodes in the Washington production of A Streetcar Named Desire
Recently, he teamed with popular tenor David Hobson. They became acquainted when Rhodes moved to Australia from New Zealand and first shared the stage at an Opera Australia concert several years ago. Plans were made for the two to work on a project together which eventuated in recording the album You'll Never Walk Alone late in 2009 and a national tour this year. "We're a mutual fan club for each other. With the tour we did, in every corner of Australia, people would know him and love him. He's a wonderful entertainer and artist."
Last year Rhodes married Met regular Isabel Leonard. They met at Sante Fe where he was appearing as Billy Budd and Leonard was singing Cherubino in Le nozze di Figaro. "She is a wonderful mezzo, I'm always in awe of her performances. But mostly she's just my wife and I'm just her husband. We've been married a year on December 14th and I arrive back in New York after Streetcar at nine-thirty on the night of the 13th.
"Obviously the next two years are difficult because our commitments are pretty much set in stone, but from somewhere in 2011 we're trying to find times where we can at least be on the same continent together, or in the same show or even the same season together. That's the plan." The couple is currently looking for a suitable residence in New York, and ideally would also maintain a permanent base in Sydney to accommodate Rhodes's Australian commitments. "If you're going to be somewhere for any length of time, it's nice to go home to your own place rather than a rented corporate apartment or hotel. It'd be nice to turn up and have your books and your own cooking pans. I don't complain about what I do, it's great, but it could be even better."
On his days off from the trials of the Kowalski household, Rhodes has been studying the score of Figaro for his return to Opera Australia in 2010. He's accepted the challenge to sing Figaro while his usual role of Count Almaviva will be taken by Peter Coleman-Wright.

I love this book, but I have been watching what I believe to be a type of Loon on Grand Traverse Bay for about 30 years. Stan has not identified this bird in this book. This bird has some features of the Common loon, but the adult has a tuft on the back of his head and he swims under water.

Policy Statements Midtown Hospital
Campus specific information for Midtown Hospital.
Where to Report Crimes and Emergencies
Report Crimes and Emergencies to the Emory University Police and Emory Healthcare Public Safety by:
- Dialing 6-HELP or 2597 (admin number) from any telephone in the Hospital 24 hours/day, 7 days/week.
- Contacting any Police Officer or Hospital Security Officer on patrol in the Hospital.
- Visiting Hospital Security's Offices located on the 8th floor of the Woodruff Building at 550 Peachtree St., Atlanta, GA 30308.
- Calling Hospital Public Safety's emergency phone number is (404) 686-4257 (HELP).
Campus Public Safety Notices ("TIMELY WARNINGS")
Emory follows a Timely Warning Protocol, as described below, for providing all of its campus communities (as appropriate) with timely notification of occurrence of the certain "Clery Crimes" (1) covered by the Clery Act. The Timely Warning Protocol applies to all campuses listed below. Timely warnings, known at Emory as "Public Safety Notices," are provided to heighten safety awareness by giving students, faculty and staff notification of crimes in relevant geographic areas. Upon receipt of information by the EPD from a complainant or from a Campus Security Authority (CSA) (2), the Assistant Vice President for Public Safety (or designee) in consultation with the Emory General Counsel's Office will determine which situations warrant the issuance of a Public Safety Notice. The determination will be made on a case-by-case basis. Factors considered in determining whether a continuing threat exists and a timely warning will be issued generally include, but are not limited to —
- The nature of the crime or conduct and whether the reported incident represents a crime reportable under the Clery Act;
- The location of the incident;
- The time elapsed between the incident and when the incident was reported to the EPD by an individual or a CSA;
- The nature and duration of any relationship between the individuals involved in a reported incident, and the alleged conduct in the context of their relationship;
- Whether sufficient and reliable information is available about the reported incident, or meaningful safety education can be provided along with the notice about the incident, so that if disseminated, members of the Emory University community can reasonably use it to protect themselves or prevent a similar crime from occurring.
A Public Safety Notice may be issued even if all of the facts surrounding a reported incident are not yet available and are subject to further development in an investigation.
The Assistant Vice President for Public Safety (or designee) will draft a Public Safety Notice and provide it to University Communications and the General Counsel (or designee) in advance of its distribution. The Assistant Vice President for Public Safety notifies the University Communications VP/AVP, the VP for Campus Services, Assistant Vice President for Community, Health Sciences Communications AVP and the EHC ranking administrator (EHC President/CEO or designee) and provides pertinent information. NOTE: This is for notification purposes only, not consultation. The final Public Safety Notice is distributed via Emory listserv, which includes all Emory and Emory Healthcare email addresses and covers all campuses, by University Communications.
A Public Safety Notice includes information deemed appropriate based on the specific facts and circumstances in each situation, but typically contains the following types of information –
- A succinct statement of the incident;
- The date, time and location of the incident, if available;
- Possible connection to previous incidents, if applicable;
- Physical description of the suspect, if available;
- Other relevant and important information about the crime or incident;
- Date and time the Public Safety Notice was released; and
- Information on Crime Prevention, personal safety or other community safety resources, as appropriate.
The Emory Police Department may decide not to include some known information in a Public Safety Notice if providing that information could risk compromising law enforcement efforts. Also, Public Safety Notices will withhold the names of victims as confidential.
Public Safety Notices also seek information that may lead to arrest and conviction of the offender when violent crimes against persons or major crimes against property have been reported to the police.
Campus Public Safety Notices and Crime Statistics at Emory University Hospital Midtown Campus
In order to have a Public Safety Notice posted and/or to have a crime included within the statistical section of this Report, the crime report should be made to the Emory Police Department at the Midtown Campus.

- Hate Crimes – any of the above-mentioned offenses, and any incidents of larceny-theft, simple assault, intimidation, or destruction/damage/vandalism of property that were motivated by bias
- VAWA Offenses – any incidents of domestic violence, dating violence and stalking. (Note that Sexual Assault is also a VAWA Offense but is included in the Criminal Offenses category for Clery Act reporting purposes); and
- Arrests and Disciplinary Referrals for Violation of Weapons, Drug Abuse and Liquor Laws
(2) A Campus Security Authority is:
- A campus police department or a campus security department of an institution.
- Any individual or individuals who have responsibility for campus security but who do not constitute a campus police department or a campus security department under paragraph (1) of this definition, such as an individual who is responsible for monitoring entrance into institutional property.
- Any individual or organization specified in an institution's statement of campus security policy as an individual or organization to which students and employees should report criminal offenses.
- An official of an institution who has significant responsibility for student and campus activities, including, but not limited to, student housing, student discipline, and campus judicial proceedings. If such an official is a pastoral or professional counselor as defined below, the official is not considered a campus security authority when acting as a pastoral or professional counselor.
Policies Concerning Security of and Access to Campus Facilities
Residence Halls
There are no residence halls located on this campus.
Other Facilities
All facilities on the Emory University Hospital Midtown Campus, including parking facilities, are patrolled by Hospital Security, 24 hours per day. From 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. each day, access to the Hospital is controlled at three points: the Peachtree lobby, the emergency room, and the second-floor MOT Mezzanine Area (directly accessing the Summit parking deck). During this period, Hospital Security personnel are stationed in the main lobby to sign visitors in and out. The Hospital has a photo-identification card access plan whereby access to certain facilities and parking areas is restricted to persons who have an appropriate photo-identification card.
Crime and Security Awareness and Crime Prevention Programs
All new employees at the Hospital receive a security briefing as a part of their new-employee orientation during the 'on-boarding' process. Security and safety tips are published in the Hospital newsletter and posted on Hospital bulletin boards. An annual on-line staff training module on workplace safety is provided via the Healthcare Learning Center. Written literature related to Holiday Safety Tips is presented annually during the winter time change. Safety presentations are presented by request to staff related to "Code Security" (priority request for security services) and "Code Silver" (emergent response to reported weapon related violence) procedures.
Drug and Alcohol Abuse Education Programs
Emory University is committed to the health and well-being of its faculty, staff, and student body. Federal regulations, including the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988 and the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act, mandate that Emory maintain an Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) Policy and distribute such policy to all students, faculty, and staff. Alcohol and drug misuse and abuse can be detrimental to one's overall physical and emotional health, academic and/or professional performance, and can adversely impact family, friends and co-workers. Alcohol and other drug misuse on college campuses is a major public health concern. Emory's policy, along with resources, health risks of alcohol and drug abuse, and consequences of this abuse may be found at http://policies.emory.edu/8.8. All Emory University faculty, staff and students are prohibited by the University from unlawfully using, possessing, manufacturing, dispensing or distributing alcohol, controlled substances or illegal drugs on University-owned property or at University-sponsored activities.
Emory University expects all of its faculty, staff and students to comply with any applicable federal, state or local laws pertaining to the use, possession, manufacture, dispensation or distribution of alcohol, controlled substances, or illegal drugs.
Members of the campus community are responsible for being fully aware of University policy, as well as local, state, and federal laws regarding the use of alcohol and other drugs. Alcohol and drug misuse and abuse can be detrimental to one's overall physical and emotional health, as well as academic and/or professional work performance.
If you or someone you know needs assistance because of alcohol and/or drug use, Emory sponsors several programs that provide information and professional services for faculty, staff, and students. These programs provide education, consultation, assessment, counseling, and referral support in a professional environment that respects individual confidentiality and promotes health education.
For Atlanta-campus students: Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) (404-727-7450); Office of Health Promotion (404-727-7551)
For Oxford-campus students: Counseling and Career Services (770-784-8394)
For faculty and staff: Faculty Staff Assistance Program (FSAP) (404-727-4328). FSAP has an anonymous, on-line, self-assessment tool for alcohol abuse and other concerns that provides confidential, immediate feedback and recommended treatment information. We encourage you to take advantage of this free, online service at www.MentalHealthScreening.org/screening/EMORY.

Theft, or larceny, is a crime that involves unlawfully taking property. It is usually categorized by the value of the theft, as either grand larceny, or petty larceny. However, even if someone had no involvement in the theft, if they receive stolen property that they know is stolen, they can be charged of the crime of buying or receiving stolen goods.
Buying or Receiving Stolen Goods
Whoever buys, receives or aids in the concealment of stolen or embezzled property, knowing it to have been stolen or embezzled can be charged under Massachusetts law. This also applies to goods having been obtained by false pretenses. Even short term concealment of the goods is illegal. For example, if someone asks you to hold on to a gun or some jewelry for a little while, which you suspect may be stolen, you could be charged with a crime.
To be convicted, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will have to prove three things beyond a reasonable doubt.
- The property in question was stolen;
- The defendant knew the property had been stolen; and
- The defendant knowingly had in possession, bought or helped conceal the stolen property.
Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 266, Section 60.
Knowledge is a question of fact, and it is up to the jury to determine whether or not to infer the defendant knew or believed the goods were stolen. This is usually shown by making an inference from the facts and circumstances surrounding the alleged possession, purchase, or concealment of the stolen property. Buying goods for a really low price from someone on the street may give most people the impression that the goods are stolen.
If the defendant bought, concealed or possessed stolen property that they didn't know was stolen, they are not guilty of this crime. However, if they later learn that it was stolen and they decide to keep the stolen property, they can be found guilty.
You don't necessarily have to be in physical possession of stolen property to be charged. For example, if you have exerted control over the goods in some way, this may be considered to be receiving stolen property. It also doesn't matter if you profited in any way from the stolen goods. In addition, the value of the property stolen is only an element of the punishment, but not an element for the criminal offense.
What are the penalties for receiving stolen property?
The penalties for receiving stolen goods will depend on the value of the items taken. If the retail value is less than $250, then the offense is treated as a misdemeanor, subject to a fine of $250 and imprisonment of not more than two and a half years in jail. Where the value is $250 or more, or if it is a second offense, penalties include a possible $500 fine, and up to 5 years in prison.
Federal Receipt of Stolen Property
If the receipt of stolen property involves crossing state lines, with the property valued at more than $5,000, then it can be treated as a federal offense, tried in federal court, with any sentence to be served in a federal correctional facility. For example, if someone stole a car in Rhode Island then gave or sold it to someone in Massachusetts, federal jurisdiction could be invoked. This could also include buying known stolen property online. It doesn't matter if the person buying the stolen property didn't know it came across state lines. Penalties for this crime can include a fine and up to 10 years in prison.
See 18 U.S. Code Section 2315.
What are some possible defenses to charges of receiving stolen property?
There are a number of defenses available to a criminal charge of buying or receiving stolen goods. For example, if the person arrested never knew the property was stolen, they are not considered guilty of the crime. Additionally, the statute of limitations runs from the initial concealment date, and is not a continuing offense.
Any defenses will depend on the facts and specifics of your individual case. For these reasons, is important to talk to an experienced Boston criminal defense lawyer who has successfully defended people charged with receiving stolen goods and other theft charges. A criminal theft record can have long lasting effects, which is why it's important to speak with a skilled criminal defense attorney to help you understand the possible penalties, and what defenses may be available to keep you out of jail.

ST. LOUIS (KSDK) – St. Louis County police shot and killed a suspect after an alleged carjacking and police chase and at least two suspects remain on the run.
St. Louis County Police said it started with a carjacking early Monday morning in the Affton area. They said the suspects were armed and wearing masks.
Officers spotted the car in the Jennings area Monday evening, but the suspects took off. Police gave chase. The suspects got out of the car in the 4100 block of East Lee Avenue near Fairground Park in North St. Louis.
One of the suspects allegedly was armed and pointed a gun at an officer. The officer fired shots, hitting and killing the man. Police are now looking for the driver and one or two passengers.
"The officer, fortunately, is not injured. The other suspects fled from the vehicle, from the stolen vehicle from the carjacking in St. Louis County," said St. Louis Metropolitan Police Capt. Mary Warnecke. "We ask anyone with information to call the homicide division with the St. Louis Police Department or the Crimestoppers."
Police said the suspect didn't fire any shots and they have recovered a gun.
The man shot and killed by police was 19-year-old Aaron Ballard of St. Louis. He was charged in June with six counts including unlawful use of a weapon and unlawful possession of a weapon in Callaway County, Missouri. He posted bond four days later, and was due in court in early November.
During the pursuit of the stolen car, two officers riding in the same police cruiser got into a crash with a 2007 Chrysler 300 at around 10:25. The crash happened at the intersection of Lillian Avenue and Union Boulevard. The two officers and the two passengers of the civilian car were taken to the hospital were they were treated for their injuries.

Save the hillsides, save the floodplains
The comparisons are inevitable. The authorities in Uttarakhand were unprepared, while the state governments in Orissa and Andhra Pradesh worked with near army-like precision. Writes Suman Sahai.india Updated: Nov 10, 2013 20:31 IST
The comparisons are inevitable. There was a disaster in Uttarakhand and a disaster in Orissa. While nearly 10,000 lives were lost in Uttarakhand, around 30 were lost in Orissa. The authorities in Uttarakhand were unprepared, while the state governments in Orissa and Andhra Pradesh worked with near army-like precision. Almost nine million people from 14 districts in three days were evacuated in Orissa. By the time Cyclone Phailin struck, people had been brought to safety.
In Uttarakhand, there was no official response to the calamity for the first few hours and many people died for lack of help. Were it not for the Army, the death toll would have been higher. In contrast, the administration in Andhra Pradesh evacuated people into shelters that were equipped with essential supplies for a week. In Uttarakhand, government agencies, such as the Disaster Mitigation and Management Centre, were conspicuous by their absence. No one has been held responsible for the lapses and no accountability has been built into the system post facto.
Instead of being preoccupied with re-starting the puja at the Kedarnath temple and reopening the Hemkund gurudwara, the Uttarakhand government should pay attention to the welfare of the people of the state. It should draw lessons from the performance of Orissa and Andhra Pradesh and set up disaster preparedness programmes, train people in what to do when calamity strikes and have contingency plans. After the disaster of the 1999 super cyclone in Orissa , the government built shelters and provided training to people in vulnerable areas.
Not only will the government in Uttarakhand have to put its disaster management agencies in order, it will also have to alter the destructive development path it has set itself on. About 70 hydropower projects are planned on the Alaknanda and Mandakini rivers which meet in Joshimath, the epicentre of the June catastrophe. The construction of resorts, hotels and commercial establishments will have to be controlled and building on the floodplains should be banned. The sand mining mafia is destroying the floodplains and the timber mafia is stripping the hillsides. The ecology must be preserved if the people of Uttarakhand are to survive.

The main reason why markets and finance ministry are clamouring for the RBI to cut policy rate is the assumption that the move will automatically lead to banks lowering their lending rates.
Moneycontrol Bureau
The main reason why markets and finance ministry are clamouring for the RBI to cut policy rate is the assumption that the move will automatically lead to banks lowering their lending rates. This in turn should boost demand for loans and revive growth in the economy. At least, in theory.
But analysts at brokerage firms Morgan Stanley and Bank of America Merrill feel there is unlikely to be a meaningful drop in banks' lending rates. That is because banks are already struggling to raise deposits despite offering high interest rates. For banks to be able to drop lending rates, they should also be in a position to cut deposit rates to maintain their profit margins.
But that may not be easy. This despite India being among the few countries where interest rates are ruling close to the peak levels in 2008 just before the global financial crisis.
Extracts from the Morgan Stanley report authored by Anil Agarwal, Sumeet Kariwala and Subramanian Iyer
"We believe that it will be tough for banks to cut deposit rates meaningfully given the elevated loan-to-deposit (LD) ratio. Deposit growth in India has persistently stayed below loan growth, thereby taking the LD ratio to over 77%. In fact, in the entire economic slowdown over last few quarters – LD ratio has actually moved up, an unusual outcome in a slowing economy."
And why exactly are banks struggling to raise deposits?
"Various reasons have been cited for this. Individuals investing in real assets, weak corporate profitability etc. The key reason, in our view, is the fact that real deposit rates (adjusted for consumer price index) are negative. Banks will not get a pick-up in deposit growth unless real rates rise," write the trio.
Bank of America Merrill economist Indranil Sen Gupta too is of the view that banks will not be able to cut their rates in a big way even if RBI were to cut the policy rate.
An extract from the BoA Merrill report:
"Can banks cut lending rates if liquidity remains as tight as it is now? Not really. It is for this reason we expect the RBI to buy gilts by an additional Rs 32000 crore through Open Market Operations by March. Although high lending rates are hurting growth, they are not coming down because the USD 35 billion of RBI forex intervention has pulled down deposit growth even further."

Washington, Oct. 22: Elections to the US Congress, crucial for the White House agenda, are barely a fortnight away, but it is the calm, white-haired visage of a doctor from Andhra Pradesh which is frequently on TV screens in Americas capital area.
Rao R. Ivatury, former intern and resident surgeon at the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi, has pushed off TV screens North Koreas reclusive leader Kim Jong II who last week admitted to having a nuclear weapons programme.
And Saddam Hussein, who has been demonised in the US media over several months, not to speak of the latest car bomb in Israel, which would normally be the big story on US news channels.
Since Saturday night, Ivatury, trauma surgeon in the Virginia Commonwealth Medical College Hospital, has been attending to the victim of the fourteenth shooting by a sniper who has been terrorising residents in and around Washington.
A victim in a fifteenth incident this morning in Maryland, bordering Washington, died after being rushed to hospital.
Rao, who graduated from P.R. Government College, Kakinada, and got his medical degree from Andhra Medical College, Visakhapatnam, grabbed media attention here when he firmly rejected suggestions that the snipers bullet be removed from the abdomen of the thirteenth victim, whom police have not identified for reasons of privacy.
It is not my priority, Ivatury calmly told a frenzied media and others who were eager to put the bullet through forensic tests to establish a connection between earlier shootings and the 37-year-old victim whom the Indian doctor was caring for.
Ivatury explained that the bullet had splintered the victims spleen, pancreas, one kidney and intestines. Two thirds of his stomach had to be removed in two surgeries. The doctor said the victim will need three or four more operations.
He still has a long way to go. It will be a stormy course, Ivatury said with Oriental calm, abjuring medical phrases and terminology that hospital press conferences in the US are famous for.
His sudden national profile has once again focused attention on the growing Indian role in American medicine. It is estimated that there are over 40,000 physicians in the US who are of Indian origin. Testimony to their number and influence is the American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin, which is one of the more powerful lobbying organisations in America.
Ivatury, who moved to New York and subsequently to Virginia, is also professor at the Virginia Commonwealth Medical College in Richmond, the state capital, as well director for trauma and emergency surgery there.
An author of numerous research papers on trauma care, Ivatury most recently made a mark at an international conference on the subject in Sydney.
An Indian face to the continuing sniper mystery here has also been given in TV appearances by relatives of Premkumar Walekar, an Indian taxi driver who was shot dead on October 2.
The very first victim of the sniper was also an Indian, Rupinder Oberoi (22), who survived, is under medical care. The snipers other victims have included both men and women, whites, blacks, Hispanics and one 13-year-old school student.

Get settled into your seats, Star Wars fans - because one of the galaxy's greatest mysteries may just have been solved: Emperor Palpatine has a name.
Or, at least, he seems to.
A Star Wars panel at this past weekend's New York Comic-Con revealed that in the upcoming Star Wars novel Tarkin, we would finally get to learn Palpatine's first name. Then, though, things got interesting...
Soon after, the Star Wars Wikia 'Wookieepedia' updated their entry for Palpatine - adding his first name, which appears to be revealed on page 93 of Tarkin.
Now, until the novel itself is actually released, this very much needs to be taken with a pinch of salt - although the assumption is that the editor of the entry has read an advance copy of the book - but, still...
Palpatine has a name.
And it's...
(drumroll please)
That's right, it's Emperor Palpatine to his enemies, but Sheev to his friends.
Which is...a little weird, in all fairness.
But, then again, this is a man who:
Became a Sith Because He Liked Antiquing
I mean, he only really collected Sith artefacts, but still. It's kind of tricky to imagine him and Darth Maul down at a local Naboo flea market, looking for force-infused bargains.
Killed His Own Master for No Particular Reason
Taught Himself to Never Sleep
Presumably so Darth Vader couldn't pull the same trick (that was how he took out his own Sith master) on him.
Cloned Himself a Whole Bunch of Times
And, at one point in the Expanded Universe, tried to transfer his mind into the body of Han and Leia's kid. Because, and I cannot stress this enough...evil.
And, then, of course, the biggest weird Palpatine quality of them all...
Was Just...Terrible...at His Job
Aside from the fact that he relied on manipulating trade embargoes to become supreme ruler of the Universe (what is this, The Wire?) he then went on to intentionally reveal the location of his shiny, incomplete second Death Star to the rebellion, only to have them blow it out of the sky.
Because...of course they did.
And don't even get us started on that whole getting thrown down an exhaust port by Darth Vader thing...
Y'know what? Suddenly the name Sheev seems a whole lot more appropriate, after all.
Now we just need to wait and see if he turns up in [Star Wars: Episode VII](movie:711158)...
What do you guys think? Digging the name Sheev for Palpatine?

Plantar fasciitis
I have had plantar fasciitis for the last 3 months. I've iced, done stretches, bought good arch support shoes with an orthotic insert & there is no improvement. I've also used motrin & had 2 steroid shots 2 weeks apart but am reluctant to get more. My doctor says I won't get rid of it without the shots. Any comments or suggestions on this. Is the only way to get rid of this to stay off my feet completely?
Jacqueline :(
heal. She had the shots which worked for a very short time
and did nothing to heal the injury. The only way she was
able to heal was to get a pair of professianlly made ortho
supports made TO MATCH HER FEET by an ortho doctor.
Expensive yes but she had instant relief when she put them in
her shoes. The doctor also told her to avoid cheap shoes to
wear the supports in or they would do no good.
In time my wife's injury did heal but it took over a year to
slowly heal with the ortho supports to the point where she can
go without them most of the time.
All the best.
Hi Tightwad,
Thanks for your reply. I think I will have to spend the money for orthotics. I just spent a good amount on good supportive shoes but as you say the orthotics need the good shoes to work. I like to bike ride & wonder if that is harming the foot. I try to ride on flat surfaces but it's hard to avoid some hills. I don't want to stop all exercise & since winter is coming on I will be swimming more than normal since I can't ride or walk. Glad to hear your wife had success with healing which gives me some hope. Again thanks for taking the time.
I battled with PF for almost a year. What finally worked for me was rest. Obviously, you can't lay down and rest for a year so what worked for me was to tape my foot every day. Basicly you reinforce the facia of your foot (the bottom of your foot) with athletic tape. This takes the pressure off of the facia and gives it a chance to return to normal. As long as the facia is inflamed, use will continue to iritate it.
Best of luck.
Yes, you can continue to do anything you want to.....once you
dial in the ortho/shoe combo. The shoes that worked best for
my wife were Naturalizer walking or Redwing womens athletic
workshoes. Good stout womens shoes both. It takes that kind
of aggressive support to allow the foot to heal. You'll find
that with the proper combo you won't want to ,nor should you,
wear any other shoes until you are healed. My wife tried heels
just once for about 5 min till off they came in pain while
she was healing.
As to what causes this injury.......
From what we learned it's a combination of cheap/bad shoes &
overextending while in them. It would be better to overextend
barefoot than in bad shoes. Your foot will protect itself.
So get fitted for otho inserts and shoes as soon as you can
as delay may make the injury much harder to heal.
I had PF for about 2 years several years ago. Several things helped me, so maybe something here will be helpful for you:
Try using ice packs on your feet twice a day for 30-60 minutes while resting them on the couch or ottoman. Definately use the arch supports or inserts. They may not seem to be helping, but I bet they are doing more than you know.
Finally, try rolling a golf ball under the arch of your foot back and forth several times a day per foot. This helps stretch out that muscle and strengthen it. It really does work!
Finally, and this is the hard one, for me it took losing some extra weight to finally get rid of the entire problem. Weight loss is so difficult that I put it off as a last resort, even though I needed to do it much sooner. However, ultimately this made the biggest difference. Some people with PF are not overweight, so this might not be your situation, but it sure helped me.
Good Luck.
I got prescription inserts, which almost solved the problem, but not quite. Then, I learned from an orthopedist how to REALLY stretch my Achilles tendons, which takes the pressure off the plantar fascia. I must get into a push-up position, and stretch each foot by itself. It takes much discipline to get a good stretch, and to hold the stretch for 15 to 20 seconds. I still must stretch regularly, and wear the inserts at least some of the time, of time, to keep symptoms from returning.

Since I'm not going to any Christmas parties I've not been obsessed with thinking of outfits to wear, but I've been going crazy over outfit ideas of New Years!! I've made a wishlist from Goddiva's website from the Celebrity inspired section and picked my favourite ones that I think would be awesome for New Years! :)
1 - Crochet Lace Maxi in the style of Selena Gomez :
This dress caught my eye as soon as I saw it, it's in the style of what Selena Gomez wore at the VMA's in 2011! I love the little crochet/lace bit around the cleavage area, it gives it quite a classy look and there is no harm in looking classy on new years! Selena Gomez has more dresses inspired by her on the Goddiva site!
I'm not sure what it is but when it comes to winter and dressing up.. sequins and all things glittery come to mind! I've fallen head over heels with this Kim Kardashian inspired dress. This would be absolutely fabulous for a night out, celebrating the new year! I've been loving black so much this year, but couldn't resist picking this one out, gold is such a versatile colour though, you could style it with any colour and it would still look good.
The split was quite a popular trend in the celebrity world this year! I think this dress is beautiful and you would definitely feel like a celebrity if you wore this! I think it would look nice at a really posh New Years party haha, I love the open toed heels the model is wearing also - spot on!
Best till last.. (and not just because I'm a massive fan of Taylor Swift!!) I love the simplicity of this. The lace lining on the top layer - this dress would be great to dress up or even dress down. It's one of those dresses I could just stare at all day and just go "aww", I would definitely chose to wear this to a New Years eve party, paired with black wedges or platform boots!
I can't believe how much I've been slacking in the blogging world recently, I've not done much post in the past two month but I'm hoping this will all change! I've got some outfit posts and new year-related posts to do, so look out for those! Bye for now :)

What is Social Engineering (SE) and why should developers care? It is the ability to manipulate. It is the power to influence, elicit, and misdirect. It is a means hackers can use, for better or worse, to breach or protect companies, start or stop cyber wars, commit or prevent cyber crimes, and steal or secure your data.
Social Engineer, hacker, & author Chris Hadnagy (@humanhacker) discusses the dangers technology companies & developers are exposed to everyday. Social Engineering has become an art form. It can be used to help or hinder others. Those that help prevent SE attacks like Chris are known as White Hats. Those that seek to harm and take from others with malicious intent are known as Black Hats.
To Black Hats, we are just obstacles standing in the way of their goals. These individuals will do whatever they must to get us to reveal our secrets. Most times we even do this willingly, without ever realizing we have been hacked until it's too late. Seemingly trivial information to us may just be the last crucial piece of information a Black Hat needs.
All the firewalls & countermeasures in the world can't protect us from ourselves. We can't afford to have our applications, our money, our lives hacked to bits because of our human nature. Chris talks with us on how we can prevent this from happening to us and our teams.

While working to secure Rails applications in a truly Agile development environment, it became clear to Ken Johnson (@cktricky), CTO of nVisium Security, and Mike McCabe (@mccabe615) that the Rails community needed attention to security in the form of free and open training. The events that have transpired this past year have only reinforced that belief. RailsGoat, an OWASP project, is an attempt to bring attention to both the problems that most frequently occur in Rails, solutions for remediation, and common attack scenarios. Ken, Mike, and their contributors built a vulnerable Rails application that aligns with the OWASP Top 10 and can be used as a training tool for Rails-based development shops.

Who Chooses to Elope?
Elopement has come a long way since its early days. Today, elopement is becoming more and more popular as an affordable, romantic and exciting way to get married. There is no longer any stigma attached to eloping. It's trendy and everyone is doing it! Couples from all walks of life and a wide range of ages are choosing elopement over traditional ceremonies these days for varying reasons. It could be that they just don't want the stress of planning a big wedding or maybe it's their second time around or they have lived together for years already. Whatever the reason elopement can be very inviting for any couple. Eloping is the easiest way to "Just Married"!
Eloping does not mean having to exchange vows without your loved ones. One of the best things about an elopement is that you have total control over the guest list. If you are traveling to another state or another country, people will be more understanding about being left off the guest list, in fact in our 'Why Are You Eloping?' poll, 16.7% of couples cited avoiding family politics as the main reason for choosing to elope. Eloping gives couples the option of eloping with just each other, or with their close family or best friends in tow, and then have a party when they return home for those who missed the celebration. It truly is one of the most versatile ways of getting married!
Eloping offers a practical, affordable and relaxing way to get married to your true love without losing the romance under a pile of contracts and deposits! It is possible to elope to almost anywhere in the world so your wedding can be as exotic or as low key as you desire without blowing your bank balance! Not only that, but it's going to be a great story to tell the grand kids!

TfL celebrates centenary of the Johnston typeface with new poster campaign
As part of Transport for London's Transported by Design initiative, a new poster project has been launched that celebrates the 100th anniversary of the organisation's Johnston font.
Johnston 100 is part of a year-long series of events from TfL that aim to reiterate the strong connection between transport and design. Edward Johnston's typography was a key part of the unification of The Underground Group in 1916. His sans serif font was adopted across the entire network of railways that, until then, had relied upon a wide range of signage and type styles.
Eleven studios have created works for the series that will be on sale at TfL's Johnston pop-up shop at Clerkenwell Design Week and the London Transport Museum, before being exhibited at KK Outlet from May 16-28 as part of the Language of London show. The featured artists are Alan Kitching (poster shown above, on left), ThomasMatthews (above, on right), Build, Magpie, Monotype, Pentagram, Sawdust, SEA, Studio Frith, Studio Parallel and The Beautiful Meme.
"The rationale for the design is simply to combine Johnston's lettering but using a shadow to give a 3D effect, with the colours used for all the tube lines from Beck's Underground map," says Alan Kitching of his poster design, shown above, on left.
Studio ThomasMatthews says of its design (shown above, on right): "Johnston's typeface is iconic for everybody who lives in or visits London, however many may not know that he was also the creator of the early fabrics that now give each line their distinct personality. Using printed woodblock letters from the Johnston typeface to create patterns based on the weaves of the underground seats, our poster aims to communicate the hustle bustle of London and the constant presence of Johnston in our everyday journeys".
The collection of posters is set to feature on the Underground in June.
