When Dinorah Carballosa filed her income tax return electronically in early March, she planned to use her refund of just over $1,500 to repair her car and pay for dental care. Nearly five months later, the 66-year-old widow from Miami hasn't received her money.
"I'm desperate," said Carballosa, who supplements her Social Security income by working part-time in her daughter's drugstore. "I depend on it penny by penny. It might seem that $1,500 is nothing, but to me right now it's a lot."
The only information she's gotten from the Internal Revenue Service: It's "still in process."
Tax preparers say a number of clients who filed their returns on time have been waiting months for refunds this year. Ramped-up identity theft checks have caused a spike in delayed refunds, according to an independent taxpayer advocacy group. IRS staff cuts and furloughs have also contributed to delays — and long wait times to get help — according to the union that represents IRS employees, although the federal tax agency denies that budget cuts have impacted service. In addition, tax season started late this year, after Congress passed a last-minute bill changing a number of tax rules on Jan. 1.
The IRS processed 587,000 fewer returns and issued 1.44 million fewer refunds as of May 10, compared to the same time last year, although it's unclear to what extent delays account for the drop.
Nicolas Villageliu, Carballosa's accountant, said more than 20 of his clients have faced unusually long delays getting refunds. IRS representatives told one client there was no problem with his return and they couldn't explain the hold-up, he said.
"The system is not working right," said Villageliu, whose practice is based in Miami. "They're having hardships, some people who are sick or a member of their family needs help. It hurts the economy, too."
Gabriel Rodriguez, an accountant at Advantage Income Tax Service in Miami, estimates that 1,000 of the approximately 6,000 clients his firm assisted this year have waited three to six months for a refund, largely due to identity theft concerns. Some clients with identity theft cases are still waiting for refunds from last year, he said.
"It sucks for the individual taxpayer, because they count on this money for their life," said Rodriguez, whose company primarily serves low-income clients. The delays have also hurt the firm, which draws most of its fees from the refund checks, he said.
Bottlenecks extend to higher income brackets, as well.
"We've been experiencing tremendous delays," said Scott Berger, tax principal at Kaufman Rossin & Co, one of South Florida's largest accounting firms. He said at least a dozen clients have been waiting up to four months for refunds.
"I can't tell you if it's the identity theft, I can't tell you if it's the IRS furloughs. Every time I try to reach the IRS there's such a backlog on the phone," he said. "There's a tremendous slam throughout the whole system."
The holdups have affected business, Berger said.
"It's created additional work for our clients that we may or may not get paid for," he said. "It also adds to credibility issues, because now they're asking, 'Is it something that you did? Did you make mistakes?' "

Beautifully restored hotel with lovely rooms and small individual gardens on our downstairs rooms. We didn't eat in the hotel - there were so many great places in town that were also soo much cheaper. Garden setting around the building was delightful but the American rock music at 7 in the morning was a little disconcerting. Disappointingly the terrace bar area was never manned in the three days of our stay - it would have been lovely to sit out there of an evening.
Step out of the front door, look down the street and there's a volcano - fabulous view.

"Give Yourself a Chance" initiative aims to curb underage and binge drinking | Community Spirit
Title (Max 100 Characters)
April is Alcohol Awareness Month, and local organizations are joining together to launch the "Give Yourself a Chance" initiative aimed to prevent underage and binge drinking in Georgia, especially among youth.
Research shows that 23 percent of Georgia youth have consumed alcohol before the age of 13, while nearly the same percentage of high school students admitted to binge drinking. These sobering statistics have inspired HEARTS for Families, and the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) to unveil the new campaign.
"In every school in every community in Georgia, underage drinking has become a widespread health and safety problem," said Sue Laney, CEO of HEARTS for Families. "Unfortunately, most adolescents don't realize the negative impact alcohol abuse can have until their health or future is at stake."
As part of the "Give Yourself a Chance" campaign, Georgians between the ages of 9 and 25 are encouraged to participate in two creative contests that illustrate how they are achieving their goals by saying "NO!" to underage and binge drinking.
An art and essay contest, open to kids between 9 and 14, requires an original piece of art or an essay related to the theme. The winner of each category will receive an iPod Nano.
A PSA and poster contest is open to individuals between 11 and 25, with the top finisher in each category receiving a Kindle Fire. All participants will receive a certificate, while the top finishers have a shot at prizes including free passes to Stone Mountain, movie theater tickets and more. In addition, winning entries will be featured on "Give Yourself a Chance" social channels and will be featured in future alcohol awareness campaigns.
The campaign is not just aimed at youth. It is also designed to educate Georgia parents and guardians about the realities of underage drinking. Statistics reveal that 82 percent of Georgia high school students who consumed alcohol did so at their own house or at another home. Adults can be held liable for youth-related alcohol abuse and suffer serious legal consequences.
"As a parent, the things you say and do have tremendous influence on the decisions your child makes," said Laney. "Take the time during Alcohol Awareness Month to talk to your children about not using alcohol. You can ultimately help them make better choices and live healthier lives."
For more information on the campaign or to download contest entry forms, visit www.heartsforfamilies.org/GYAC. You can also follow "Give Yourself a Chance" on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

Much of the important shooting status information is shown inside the viewfinder of the EOS 5D Mark II. As with the status LCD up on top, not all of this information will be shown at any one time. Figure 3.17 shows what you can expect to see. These readouts include:
Spot metering reference circle. Shows the circle that delineates the spot metering area.
Autofocus zones. Shows the nine areas used by the 5D Mark II to focus. The camera can select the appropriate focus zone for you, or you can manually select one or all of the zones, as described in Chapter 5.
Autoexposure lock. Shows that exposure has been locked. This icon also appears when an automatic exposure bracketing sequence is in process.
Flash status indicator. Appears along with the flash ready indicator: the H is shown when high-speed (focal plane) flash sync is being used. The * appears when flash exposure lock or a flash exposure bracketing sequence is underway.
Flash exposure compensation. Appears when flash EV changes have been made.
Shutter speed/aperture readouts. Most of the time, these readouts show the current shutter speed and aperture. This pair can also warn you of Compact Flash card conditions (full, error, or missing), ISO speed, flash exposure lock, and a buSY indicator when the camera is busy doing other things (including flash recycling).
Exposure level indicator. This scale shows the current exposure level, with the bottom indicator centered when the exposure is correct as metered. The indicator may also move to the left or right to indicate under- or overexposure (respectively). The scale is also used to show the amount of EV and flash EV adjustments, and the number of stops covered by the current automatic exposure bracketing range.
ISO sensitivity. This useful indicator shows the current ISO setting value. Those who have accidentally taken dozens of shots under bright sunlight at ISO 1600 because they forgot to change the setting back after some indoor shooting will treasure this addition.
B/W indicator. Illuminates when the Monochrome Picture Style is being used. There's no way to restore color when you're shooting JPEGs without RAW, so this indicator is another valuable warning.
White balance correction. Shows that white balance has been tweaked.
Maximum burst available. Changes to a number to indicate the number of frames that can be taken in continuous mode using the current settings.
Focus confirmation. This green dot appears when the subject covered by the active autofocus zone is in sharp focus.

Winners of the '40 Under 40 Emerging Leaders Awards' unveiled
- Lindsay Riddell
- Reporter- San Francisco Business Times
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | LinkedIn
The envelope, please. ... Presenting the winners of the 40 Under 40 Emerging Leaders Awards, in which the San Francisco Business Times celebrates some of the Bay Area's brightest young superstars of 2012.
>>>>>Click the slideshow on the right to see eight of our 40 Under 40 winners>>>>>>>
For the first time, the Business Times is honoring standout leaders under 40 years old making a major impact on the Bay Area's economy, community and culture by employing innovation, business and technical acumen and a lot of hard work. If, after learning more about these under-40 wizards, you start to feel badly about yourself, trust that you are not alone.
Starting today, you can see photos of some of the 40 Under 40 honorees here on our website each Friday — a little preview to get you excited about what's to come. On Feb. 24, we'll issue a special publication in the print edition and online wherein you can get to know the young leaders who were chosen to represent our first ever 40 Under 40 class. (The full list appears below.)
Tickets are available for the March 7 40 Under 40 Awards event at Levi Plaza Atrium and you can email Jacquie Bischoff at firstname.lastname@example.com for ticket information.
At the event, you can meet CEOs like Lyndon Rive of solar installation powerhouse SolarCity, One Kings Lane co-founder Alison Pincus, Tony Award-nominated producer Lorenzo Thione and the rest of the list, all of whom are making a significant contribution to building the Bay Area's future.
I took it hard when I found out that Rive of fast-growing SolarCity was younger than me.
The guy is nothing short of a business prodigy. He built SolarCity from the ground up — starting the company in 2007 with his brother and growing it to more than 1,200 employees who have installed massive amounts of solar energy all over the country. SolarCity pioneered a finance model that has unlocked solar for thousands of people and spawned a booming solar industry across the nation.

Some tips for success in a job interview
Impress for success: preparing for your interview
You applied for the job and have been called for an interview! Your next step is to prepare for your interview. You will need to be well versed in the organization and what they do. You will also need to be able to relate what makes you the perfect person for the job.
Before the interview, familiarize yourself with the organization (its culture, mission, values) and the requirements of the position. Update your knowledge about the field, trends, services and industry-specific language used, to be sure you are current and at the top of your game. Review your resume and skill sets so you will be able to draw on your work history and life experiences, and apply them to the job for which you are interviewing. Keep in mind that your goal is to showcase your education, talent, skills, abilities and experiences in a way that demonstrates how hiring you will benefit the organization. An interview is never about your needs and how working for the organization will benefit you.
Practice your responses to some typical interview questions:
Tell me about yourself
The employer does not want to know about your life. Limit your response to the information that is relevant to your ability to do the job. Discuss why you selected the field, the path you followed, a short bit about education or experience that led you to where you are today. Demonstrate your knowledge about the organization, and enthusiasm and desire to grow with the company by relating your path to their needs. Emphasize how what you bring is a natural match to what they need. A few sentences will suffice. If they want to learn more about you, they will ask. Do not talk about how this job will position you for future work. Although that might be true, do not share that.
What are your strengths and weaknesses?
In a job interview it is all right to tastefully boast a bit. It is expected. If you don't tell an employer what you do well, they have no way of knowing. Talk about your strengths relative to the job. When describing your weaknesses, consider those that helped you learn, grow or improve. Share one or two. Frame them in terms of why you think they were a weakness and emphasize what you did to turn them into a strength. Do not give an example of a weakness unless you can demonstrate how identifying and rectifying the weakness resulted in a positive outcome.
How would you describe your work style?
Your familiarity with the organization and the duties of the position can guide this response. For instance, if you will be a member of a team, it is important to describe your work style so it includes teamwork. You can say you work well individually but also enjoy working with others as part of a team. You can discuss your ability to lead a team as well as follow directions, or enjoy give and take and sharing responsibilities. Align your response as closely as you can with their needs.
Why are you looking for a new job?
Never say anything bad about your current employer or any past employers. It is appropriate to say that you feel like you have contributed as much as you can to your current job, that there are no opportunities for growth within your organization, you have acquired a wide variety of skills and want to move in a different direction which is not possible within your current organization. Share whatever makes sense for you. Keep it simple, short and positive.
Provide an example of a problem and how you handled it.
Keep this response focused on employment. Have one or two examples that resulted in a positive outcome ready to share. Be sure to include in your description any key skills you used, such as listening, communicating, planning, leading. If you have not encountered problems on the job or were not in a position to resolve them, use an example from school, membership in an organization, a volunteer position, a committee in which you participate, if at all possible.
What are your short- and long-term goals?
It is important to keep both your short- and long-term goals aligned with the organization and movement within the organization. No employer wants to spend the time and money to bring you on board only to have you leave. Your response should demonstrate that you see your future with them.
How do you evaluate success?
If you can, share a short work-related story about how you meet and exceed identified needs, goals and outcomes. What did you do for an employer, coworker or customer that led to an increase in satisfaction, production, improved performance? What did you do that made a difference? Have an example or two in mind.
What salary are you looking for?
Do some research before you go to the interview to learn what other organizations pay for this type of work in your community. Avoid giving an actual salary if you can. If the salary you mention is too high, you may price yourself out of a job offer. And if it's too low, you may miss out on potential income. If you have to respond, respond with a range acceptable to you and based on your research. The lowest point should be the lowest compensation you would be willing to accept. You might also just say you are sure the salary is fair and commensurate with the duties of the position and you'll be better able to respond when you learn more about its duties, responsibilities and expectations.
Why should I hire you?
This is your opportunity to restate and summarize the skills and abilities you bring to the position in alignment with what you heard the interviewer say about it. Connect the dots about how hiring you will contribute to the success of the organization so they can readily see why you are the only one for the job.
Remember, the interview is your opportunity to convince the interviewer that you are the right one for the job. That means you need to know about the job, the organization, and what you bring to the table. Your goal is to show them how hiring you will meet their needs and have them hoping you'll accept their offer!

Swansongs is a series of 10 contemporary 'landscape' photographs depicting the aftermath of the end of industrialisation in the East End of London. As with some previous work, the photographs relate directly to historical paintings, in this case artists from the British Landscape tradition including John Constable and the Pre-Raphaelites. The thematic concerns and formal properties (including bright colour saturation) are recast into contemporary East London but aim to go beyond a literal re

"Equal and Exact Justice to Both Races": Booker T. Washington on the Reaction to his Atlanta Comprom
The Atlanta Compromise speech, which Booker T. Washington delivered before the Cotton States and International Exposition in 1895, established Washington as the leading black spokesman in America. He came to control enormous amounts of northern white philanthropy directed at African Americans as well as much of the federal patronage dispensed to them by the Republican party. In this excerpt from his autobiography Up From Slavery, Washington described the reactions of both black and white America
"The Men Seem To Be Pretty Well Satisfied": John Anderson on the 1919 Steel Strike
In the dramatic 1919 steel strike, 350,000 workers walked off their jobs and crippled the industry. The U.S. Senate Committee on Education and Labor set out to investigate the strike while it was still in progress. In his testimony before the committee, John Anderson, a helper in the open-hearth furnace at the Homestead steelworks in Pennsylvania, maintains that the steelworkers were satisfied with conditions. Although born in Scotland, Anderson identified himself as an"American" in distinction
"Please, Let Me Put Him in a Macaroni Box" The Spanish Influenza of 1918 in Philadelphia
In 1918 and 1919 the Spanish influenza killed more humans than any other disease in a similar period in the history of the world. In the United States a quarter of the population (25 million people or more) contracted the flu; 550,000 died. In the early 1980s, when historian Charles Hardy did interviews for the Philadelphia radio program "The Influenza Pandemic of 1918," he was struck by the painful memories as many older Philadelphians recalled the inability of the city to care for the dead and

The U.S. Senate Committee on Education and Labor set out to investigate the strike while it was still in progress. In his testimony before the committee, Slavic steelworker Andrew Pido described the discrimination faced by some immigrant workers and how that discrimination - along with long pay and poor conditions--encouraged them to unionize and strike.
Underneath the Mountains
These lecture notes discuss the role of buoyancy, flexure, and erosion in the earth's topography and the lifetime of mountain ranges. It recalls Pascal's law that pressure of a material overlying a fluid is equal everywhere at a given depth and Archimedes' principle that a body in a fluid is buoyed up with a force equal to the weight (mass x volume) of the displaced fluid. Continents are buoyant crust floating on denser mantle, so a 4 km high mountain range must have a 20 km deep root. According

FTC warns retailers about mislabeling products
WASHINGTON — Seventy-eight companies nationwide have received Federal Trade Commission (FTC) letters warning that they may be breaking the law by selling clothing and other textile products that are labeled and advertised as "bamboo," but actually are made of manufactured rayon fiber. The letters, which the agency's staff sent last week, make the retailers aware of the FTC's concerns about possible mislabeling of rayon products as "bamboo," so the companies can take corrective steps to avoid Commission action.
The FTC sued several companies last year for allegedly selling products labeled or advertised as "bamboo" that in reality were made of rayon. Rayon is a man-made fiber created from the cellulose found in plants and trees and processed with harsh chemicals that release hazardous air pollution. Any plant or tree – including bamboo – could be used as the cellulose source, but the fiber that is created is rayon.
The FTC staff letter outlines the requirements for proper labeling and advertising of textile products derived from bamboo. The letter states, "Rayon, even if manufactured using cellulose from bamboo, must be described using an appropriate term recognized under the FTC's Textile Rules… Failing to properly label and advertise textiles misleads consumers and runs afoul of both the Textile Rules and the FTC Act."
In the letter, the FTC tells the companies they should review the labeling and advertising for the textile products they are selling and remove or correct any misleading bamboo references.
Along with the warning letters, the agency sent each company a synopsis of FTC decisions finding that the failure to use proper fiber names in textile labeling and advertising was deceptive and violated the FTC Act. Under the Act, the FTC can seek civil penalties of up to $16,000 per violation against any company that receives this information but fails to correct its advertising and labeling.

Amy Winehouse's past with drugs was well documented, but despite reports that drugs were to blame for her death, her family feels otherwise.
Instead, they believe a sudden abstinence from alcohol might have been what led to her untimely passing last Saturday at age 27, sources say.
Winehouse ignored doctors' advice to cut back gradually from her heavy drinking and went cold turkey in the past month, Britain's Sun reports.
Her official cause of death is still inconclusive, but her family believes that this decision simply caused too much of a shock to her fragile system.
"Abstinence gave her body such a fright, they thought it was eventually the cause of her death," says a source of Amy's effort to quit drinking.
Her father, Mitch Winehouse, said in a eulogy at his daughter's funeral that he believed it was the opposite of a bender that took his daughter.

Author's response
Yeah ... going from drinking shitloads to drinking nothing was crazy. I think the hospital visit did play a major role though. I mean, once you go through that (even if you don't actually remember it happening), you're just like, "oh shit!" The only thing keeping you from just downing whole bottles of booze after something like that is you don't want a repeat. At least that's what I was thinking about that. It like any other addiction though. Like smoking ... you convince yourself you absolutely NEED that cig, but if you can just make it a little past that, you're ok.

FirstMerit, Huntington rank high for satisfaction in J.D. Power survey
- Staff Business First
Columbus' Huntington Bancshares Inc. and Akron's FirstMerit Corp. made the top of a regional retail banking customer satisfaction ranking by J.D. Power and Associates, which found nationwide consumer sentiment take a turn for the better for the first time in four years.
The national study pegged customer satisfaction with large retail banks at 752 on a 1,000 point scale, up a scant four points from 2010 but the first such gain since 2007. The Westlake Village, Calif.-based firm said most customer experience factors in the score, including in-branch interaction and product offerings, improved along with perceptions on brand reputation.
Customers still gave a thumbs-down to fees, a trend J.D. Power said largely is based not on the extra charges themselves but communication explaining the changes.
In regional breakdowns, FirstMerit (NASDAQ:FMER) tied for first place in the five-state North Central region that includes Ohio, scoring an 802 along with Flagstar Bancorp Inc. (NYSE:FBC) of Troy, Mich. Huntington (NASDAQ:HBAN) came just a few points behind with a 799, tied with Independent Bank Corp. (NASDAQ:IBCP) of Ionia, Mich.
U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB) and KeyCorp (NYSE:KEY) pulled scores just ahead of the regional average of 765.

3 Signs That the Washington Capitals Will Contend Come Playoff Time
By (Featured Columnist) on March 21, 2013
1,728 reads
The Washington Capitals are still kicking.
After 29 games, Washington has 25 points. As a result, the Caps are in fourth place in the Southeast Division and 14th place in the Eastern Conference. But they only trail the eighth place Carolina Hurricanes by seven points and the division-leading Winnipeg Jets by nine.
Washington is in prime position to make a move and contend for a playoff spot in the East.
Here are three signs that the Washington Capitals will contend come playoff time.
3. Ripe for the Picking
The New Jersey Devils may be watching their season slip away.
Elsa/Getty Images
Some of the teams the Washington Capitals are currently chasing in the Eastern Conference standings have faltered in recent weeks, continuing to give the Capitals hope for a late run.
The Philadelphia Flyers and Tampa Bay Lightning are currently ranked 12th and 11th respectively in the Eastern Conference. But both teams have gone 4-6-0 in their last 10 games, through Wednesday night. And the ninth-ranked New Jersey Devils, who are actually tied in terms of points with the New York Rangers for the eighth and final playoff spot, have gone 3-5-2 in their last 10 games. The Flyers, Lightning and Devils have each only earned eight of a possible 20 points over these 10 games.
And although the Capitals have struggled recently, they have actually done better than this trio. In the Capitals' last 10 games, they have gone 5-5-0, earning 10 points. This means the Caps have gained on these three teams. If this trend continues through the end of the season, it may be the Caps making the playoffs, instead of the Flyers, Lightning or Devils.
2. Florida Vacation
The Capitals hope for a smooth trip to Florida.
Joel Auerbach/Getty Images
Despite other teams practically giving their playoff positioning to Washington, the Capitals still need to win hockey games.
And thanks to the schedule makers, that will be easier to do down the stretch.
Over a span of five games in early April, the Capitals play the two Florida-based NHL teams a total of three times, closing out the season series with both clubs in the process.
On April 6, the Capitals visit Sunrise, Florida for the second and final time this season as they play the Florida Panthers. Florida currently has a league-worst 22 points.
And on both April 7 and April 13, the Capitals play host to the Tampa Bay Lightning. As of Wednesday night's games, Tampa Bay was was in 11th place in the Eastern Conference with 27 points, a mere two points ahead of the Capitals.
Thanks to this bundle of divisional match ups against inferior foes, the Capitals have the opportunity to make a late push into the playoff picture.
1. Home Cooking
The Caps always feel at home in The Phone Booth.
Greg Fiume/Getty Images
Right now the Capitals are in the middle of a brutal road trip.
After a stop in Pittsburgh, they flew to Winnipeg for two games in two nights, then to New York City for a matinee at Madison Square Garden.
After one home game, they are back on the road for three more.
But all these road games means the Capitals' schedule is back-loaded with home games.
Washington plays six of its last eight games at home. That includes the last three games of the season.
Through Thursday's games, the Caps were 8-7-0 at Verizon Center. If they can exert some home dominance by the end of the season, they may earn themselves a few more home games—in the form of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Oakville power plant cancellation: Breakdown of the $310 million cost
is the Ontario Power Authority's latest accounting of costs for cancelling the Oakville power plant contracted to TransCanada Energy and moving it to Napanee.
Below is the Ontario Power Authority's latest accounting of costs for cancelling the Oakville power plant contracted to TransCanada Energy and moving it to Napanee.
The costs are divided into separate categories and potential cost savings subtracted from the total to reach the figure of $310 million given by OPA chief executive Colin Andersen on Tuesday.
Payments to TransCanada:
$210 million gas turbines to be re-purposed for use in the Napanee plant
$40 million sunk costs to prepare Oakville site for construction
Sub-total: $250 million
Future costs for Napanee site:
$37 million to connect power plant to transmission lines
$10 million to connect plant to natural gas pipeline
$406 million estimated costs for delivering and managing natural gas supplies
Sub-total: $453 million
Future costs for electricity system related to moving Oakville plant to Napanee:
$90 million for moving transmission line projects ahead to 2018
$32 million in line losses for electricity lost in transmitting power from Napanee back to the southwest GTA area
$53 million lower turbine efficiency in the design of the Napanee plant
Sub-total:$176 million
Estimated cost of replacement power services in 2017 and 2018:
$215 million
TOTAL OF ABOVE: $1.094 billion
Minus cost savings:
$195 million from reducing the price paid for power from Napanee to $15,200 per megawatt per month from $17,277 at Oakville.
$539 million from deferring payments for power from Napanee to 2019, given that Oakville had been slated to open in 2014.
$50 million savings because Napanee will open five years later than Oakville would have.
Sub-total: $784 million
OAKVILLE PLANT RELOCATION COST: $310 million.

In a somewhat controversial decision, this year the television academy has combined the lead and supporting categories for the Movie/Miniseries races, meaning there will only be one male winner and one female winner for longform television.
Based on early Gold Derby polling, Jessica Lange ("American Horror Story: Asylum") is the frontrunner to win a trophy in the all new combined category of Movie/Miniseries Actress. This will be Emmy #3 for Lange, who prevailed last year in the Movie/Mini Supporting Actress race for the first incarnation of "American Horror Story" and also in 2009 as Movie/Mini Lead Actress for the HBO biopic "Grey Gardens."
Currently nipping at Lange's heels in the number two position is Helen Mirren, who stars alongside Al Pacino in HBO's "Phil Spector." With an Oscar ("The Queen" in 2006) and a record four Emmys in the Movie/Mini lead race ("Prime Suspect" 4 in 1996; "Passion of Ayn Rand" in 1999; "Elizabeth I" in 2006; " Prime Suspect 7: The Final Act" in 2007) already on her mantel, Mirren's awards pedigree is helping to push her to the front of the pack.
In third place is Sigourney Weaver for the cancelled series-turned-miniseries "Political Animals." She's a shoo-in for a nomination after receiving nods in this same category at the Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards. This would be Weaver's third Emmy nomination, though she has yet to win.
Coming in fourth is Holly Hunter for Sundance Channel's "Top of the Lake." Hunter is an Oscar winner for "The Piano" (1993) and a two-time Emmy winner in the Movie/Mini Lead Actress category for "The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom" (1993) and "Roe vs. Wade" (1989).
Gold Derby currently has Emmy magnet Alfre Woodard ("Steel Magnolias") in fifth place. She's a TV academy favorite, winning four Emmys from sixteen nominations. The fact that she's even eligible here should guarantee her one of the six slots.
Rounding out our list is Sarah Paulson, co-lead with Lange on FX's "American Horror Story: Asylum." Paulson's work on the second season of the anthology series was just as impressive as Lange's, so we may be seeing these two leading performers duke it out in the top race just like Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton did last year for "Hatfields and McCoys."
Find out which ladies will make the cut in the Movie/Miniseries Actress race when Emmy nominations are revealed July 18. The 65th Primetime Emmys will air on CBS Sept. 22.
"American Horror Story" was re-classified as a miniseries because the storyline and characters are totally different each season. It was nominated for Best Movie/Miniseries in 2012, losing to "Game Change," but Jessica Lange won Best Movie/Mini Supporting Actress. Lange may contend again this year for "AHS: Asylum."

havin a big discussion at my gym about the roman deadlift.... Half of us say do it on back day and half on leg day..... Which is better 2 do it on? reasoning?
It is a glute ham exercise with some low back involvement. Make sure you drive your ass out hard and keep your back arched.
i do it on leg day because it hammers the hams. I generally do back on mon, and legs on fri. It does get a bit of work in lower back, but not as much as full deads. The way i do them is push my butt back to lower the weight, instead of "bending at the waist". To come up, I focus on pushing hips forward, which will raise the torso, and squeeze glutes hard at top. I get a little pump in lower back like I said, but I don't focus the work there.
Its more about stabilizing the lower back but it is primarily for hamstrings and glutes like previously mentioned... LEG DAY is the winner... definitely
Leg day.
I'd say either, but would call them squat day and dl day... take into account if you are doing any other hammy/glute exercises and on which day.
Do you mean Romanian deadlift? (the two words are not interchangeable)

It's fascinating to watch the cycle of feedback between the UX designers and representatives of the nonprofits. So often technological and "business school" solutions don't truly meet the actual problems faced by organizations. But as these UX folks test out some ideas with StreetWise's executive director, they seem like they're learning more about it and incorporating it into their ideas.
For example, a problem everyone in the room knows they need to address is the fact that people are carrying less and less cash. There seems to be a consensus that StreetWise vendors probably can't carry high-end technological devices — even if theft or loss or the devices is rare, it could be a major expense for the organization. The technology, then, would have to come from the buyer (probably their cell phone or other mobile device). An UXer asks whether people will be afraid to pull out such a device near a StreetWise vendor. But this actually highlights the level of implicit trust that exists in the StreetWise transaction — despite some perception problems, hundreds of people pull out wallets full of cash a foot away from a StreetWise vendor every day. The commercial transaction can be a foundation for empathy and trust — and the UXers get it.
Another aspect of the public perception problem is fear over what StreetWise vendors do with the money they make.
The UXers wonder whether there is a way for StreetWise buyers' resources can be translated more directly into things they feel will benefit the homeless and those at risk of homelessness. Jim LoBianco (their executive director) shares that those needs are often quite different from what people think. One of the most common, he says, is transportation — StreetWise vendors need things like CTA passes to reach the next opportunity in their lives. So perhaps the direction in which StreetWise needs to move is closer to something like an airline rewards program than we would have thought? It's hard to imagine this kind of conversation taking place in any other forum.

Luxury Homes and Luxury Real Estate Luxury real estate is a very small niche in the real estate market that is tailored to meet the needs of the highest socio economic group of consumers. This type of real estate is much different than the normal market because it requires a very high degree of care and responsibility on the part of the real estate agents who handle the transactions. The agents must advertise on a national level because they are trying to appeal and market to a very specific group of people, Very often, these types of transactions can even involve extra things like attorneys, trusts and anonymity issues for high profile clients. Also, those clients that are considered buying luxury homes often require many inspections of the properties because they want to be sure that everything is perfectly in order since they are spending such a large sum of money on it. These types of things require the real estate agent handling the case to be there around the clock to meet with people for any type of appointment that the client may have scheduled. There are many different characteristics that define a luxury home or luxury real estate and they usually change from country to country. Although different countries have different defining characteristics there is one that is relevant no matter where you are looking, location. Location plays a very large role in defining the value of a piece of property. This can include things like: the view, whether it is a waterfront property or not, if it is near different types of amenities like golf courses, school districts or the downtown area. This is what makes it possible for a much smaller piece of property that is situated on the water to be worth way more than a larger space that is more inland. The amount of land that surrounds the property is also a defining characteristic because it allows the person purchasing the property to possibly expand its size in the future. There are also vast differences between luxury homes as opposed to something that is referred to as a luxury property. Using the word property usually denotes that there is more land surrounding the home; at least a few acres. In the United States of America, generally any piece of real estate that is over one million dollars is considered to be part of the luxury real estate group. So, if you think you may be interested in purchasing one of the many luxury homes on the market then you should expect to pay a pretty penny for it.
