Vt. Tax Dept. notes homestead declaration changeFebruary 01,2013MONTPELIER The Vermont Department of Taxes is reminding residents that theres a change in the tax law regarding homestead declarations.
In the past, property owners had to file the declaration whenever there was a change in ownership or status of the property.
But starting this year, property owners must file such declarations annually by tax day, April 15.
Property in Vermont is considered nonresidential until it is claimed as the owners homestead.
A property owner must file a homestead declaration if the owner owns and occupies the property as his or her primary residence and is domiciled in Vermont.
Tax Commissioner Mary Peterson says filling the declaration is critical to paying the correct amount of tax.MORE IN Vermont NewsMall developer Full StoryWATERBURY Gov. Full StoryThe Legislative Committee on Administrative Rules voted Thursday to certify its earlier rejection... Full Story -

This research paper will focus on the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in achieving the United Nations (UN) Millennium Development Goals (MDG). The specific issue I will focus on is the debate regarding Open Source Software (OSS) and its potential for spreading ICT's to developing nations at lower costs than proprietary software. I will investigate the UN's Global Alliance for ICT and Development (GAID) and the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). Also I will look at some development projects that have benefitted from the use of OSS and present arguments in opposition to OSS.
The first part of this paper will analyze the concept of the Global Digital Divide and how it impacts other social problems such as poverty, literacy disparities, etc. Next, I will discuss efforts by the UN to use ICT in the achievement of the MDGs. Specifically I will focus on the creation of the GAID as a forum for addressing issues surrounding the digital divide and international development policy. Finally, I will discuss the specific issue of Open Source Software. This is one area of ICT development that may have potential for bringing low cost and efficient technologies to impoverished communities to improve lives. Some development projects have been successful in their use of Open Source Software, such as the non-profit organization Inveneo. However, Open Source Software does have is critics, and I will discuss these views as well.

Written & Directed by Noah Baumbach (1997) Starring: Eric Stoltz, Annabella Sciorra, Chris Eigeman, Carlos Jacott
Lester Grimm (Stoltz) has the bad habit of becoming obsessed with his current girlfriend's ex-boyfriends. When he gets into a relationship with Ramona (Sciorra), he tries his hardest to not fall into his old habits, but when he follows her writer ex-boyfriend Dashiell Frank (Eigeman), he winds up joining group therapy under his best friend's name.
Mr. Jealousy takes the cast from Kicking and Screaming but sets them into a slightly more grown up reality: they all live in New York, have jobs they either love or hate, and are searching for "The One." Lester and Ramona's relationship seems smoother than smooth, until Lester's following habit rears its ugly head.
If there's one great thing about Baumbach scripts is that they manage to have intelligent people speak realistically. The dialogue is still stylized, as all movie dialogue ends up being, but there are the awkward moments and the weird, inside jokes between friends. In that regard, Baumbach is a master. He also manages to make overused plots into something that's fun to watch while his neurotic characters work through the phases in their lives.
Eric Stoltz is easily the most likable guy in the universe, even as a jealous boyfriend, and Chris Eigeman is still really entertaining as a witty, if highly disorganized and messed up guy. The cast works really well together as a whole, maybe because they've gotten used to each other since Kicking and Screaming? All the winning scenes for me happen between the guy characters, who are struggling to figure out what it means to be adults, versus the romantic plot. It's emphasized enough, I just can't detach it from Lester's personality rather than the driving force of the film.
Considering I watched in twice in three weeks, there is something in Mr. Jealousy that's really entertaining, even if its just that seeing smart people live in New York and have problems, while God narrates from above (Have I mentioned the voice-over narration?).

Yazooans earn gold balls
For the Herald
While no team from Yazoo City made it to the Mississippi Coliseum for the state basketball championships this season, Yazoo City was well represented as two former athletes-turned-coaches led their respective teams to State Championships last week at the Big House.
Tangela Banks, head coach of the Forest Hill Lady Patriots, led her team to a gut-wrenching, four overtime 76-74 victory over Southaven in the Class 6A Finals, giving her a second straight gold ball.
In just his second season at the helm of the Velma Jackson Falcons, Anthony Carlyle coached his team to a come-from-behind 45-44 victory over Booneville in the Class 3A Finals for his first championship.

Chalkboard Labels for Escort Cards Mason Jars Buckets Bins Table Signs - Set of 25 Black Tags - Repositionable
These reusable chalkboard labels will make labeling your wedding favors, escort cards, decorations and storage bins a cinch. One of my favorite things about these labels is how easily they peel off, and yet they stick to everything I try. I've worked with quite a bit of chalkboard material and settled on these. Chalk goes on smooth and cleans off nicely.
You will receive 25 chalkboard labels in black. These come in 2 shapes and sizes, a 2" square or 1-1/2" by 2-1/4" rectangle.
All of my products come from an absolutely smoke/pet free home.
Items ship first class USPS. Please allow 7 to 10 days to ensure arrival in time for your special event.

Teaching Scriptwriting by Pepa LLausas
One of the most difficult points is to find a manner to teach to understand the media, that is, how cinema transmits a story.
Students arrive to you with a very clear and concise idea about what script is: something similar to a form to fill in. And they usually do it using a very long dialogue. Nothing could be further from the truth.

There is hope, innovation and support available for those men diagnosed with breast cancer here at the U-M Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Patient Care and Treatment:People diagnosed with breast cancer may talk with surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, plastic surgeons, gynecologists, social workers and nurses, and will have their mammograms and pathology slides read all in one day at one visit to our Breast Care Clinic.
Research and innovation:

Information about two common, but often overlooked disorders [Infographic]
Brandpoint (ARA) Sponsored Content
Zz Test Site 1
Dec 09, 2013
| 3379 views | 0
Chronic digestive disorders are more common than you think. Two often overlooked conditions in the United States are irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C), which affects up to 13 million adults and chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC), which affects up to 35 million adults. Recurring abdominal pain and constipation, including hard stools, and infrequent and incomplete bowel movements, may indicate a chronic GI condition, such as IBS-C or, if you have these symptoms with little or no abdominal pain, CIC.
Check out some facts and statistics about these common - but often overlooked - disorders. This infographic highlights data and figures to help those suffering understand they are not alone and they should not suffer in silence.
