The government gives tax benefits on donations under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961. However, not all donations are eligible for tax benefits. There are certain restrictions to the deduction allowed to individuals, companies or any specific category of taxpayers.
Donation made to foreign trusts by an individual or company does not qualify for deduction under this Section. Similarly, even for a donation made to political parties, including paying for brochures, souvenirs or pamphlets brought out by such parties, are not eligible for tax deduction.
For individuals to claim deduction under Section 80G, a receipt issued by the trust receiving the donation is a must. The receipt must have details of name, address and Permanent Account Number (PAN) of the trust, the name of the donor and the amount donated. The registration number of the trust, which is issued by the income-tax department under Section 80G is a must for claiming tax benefit.
The government periodically releases a list of approved charitable institutions and funds that are eligible to receive donations that qualify for deduction. The list includes trusts, societies and corporate bodies incorporated under Section 25 of the Companies Act, 1956, as non-profit companies. The income-tax department issues the registration number to the trust or the non-profit body for a limited period of two years and this is renewed. The registration number has to be printed on the receipt and, also, the validity period of the registration must be mentioned in the receipt. If this is not done, the taxpayer cannot claim any tax deduction on the donation made.
For donations that are eligible for 100% deduction, the taxpayer must take Form 58 from the trust. The form contains details of project cost for which the donation is received, amount authorised under this project and the actual amount collected. Without Form 58, the claim for 100% deduction will be rejected by the income-tax department. Only donations in cheque or in cash below R10,000 are eligible for tax deduction. Donations in kind like clothes, blankets, food etc are not entitled to any tax benefits. Though there is no upper limit on the amount of donation, in some cases, there is a cap on the eligible amount, which is a maximum of 10% of the gross total income of the individual taxpayer.
Also, deduction under Section 80G cannot exceed your taxable income. A taxpayer can claim 100% deduction without any qualifying limit

U.S. Marine Talks About Letter to Sen. Feinstein: Assault Weapons Ban Would Start Country on 'Slippery Slope' to Americans Being Disarmed
On Fox and Friends this morning, Steve Doocy talked to former Marine Cpl. Joshua Boston, whose letter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) over her proposed gun control legislation has gone viral in recent days.
"I am not your subject," Boston wrote.
"I am the man who keeps you free. I am not your servant. I am the person whom you serve. I am not your peasant. I am the flesh and blood of America. I am the man who fought for my country. I am the man who learned. I am an American. You will not tell me that I must register my semi-automatic AR-15 because of the actions of some evil man."
Boston explained that he believes once the government takes away assault weapons, it will be a "slippery slope" toward being able to restrict more and more types of firearms.
"Our firearms are important to us and they're something that we have to have in order to keep what we have as a country going. And this starts us onto a slippery slope. They take (assault weapons) away, next they come for bolt-action guns. And there's really no reason to register other than they confiscate at a later date in time," said Boston.

Feinstein responded to Boston by saying, in part, that exceptions will be made in the bill for guns used for hunting purposes.
"This idea that the rights of existing gun owners is strictly limited to hunting and sporting purposes is just absurd and has no basis in the Bill of Rights. It's not what it was for," said Boston, who argued that throughout history there have been examples of governments confiscating citizens' guns.
"It's something we've seen happen time and time again in history. With Stalin, it happened in Cambodia and of course, the Third Reich. No one saw that coming until it was too late," he said.

These instructions are for those who wish to scan documents and make changes to those documents. To do this you need to utilize an OCR (optical character recognition) software such as Adobe Acrobat Professional or Omnipage.
For the majority of customers Adobe Acrobat is the preferable software as it offers more office type benefits and is usually more readily available. The exception to this is for departments scanning mostly graphics. Omnipage software works better with graphics and text combinations. There are separate instructions available for using Omnipage and Adobe Acrobat Professional.
If you need assistance determining which is the best OCR program for you to work with you can either consult with your department's computer technician or contact the Copier Program at x.55329.
The first step is to open the document on which you would like to perform OCR. To do this, follow these steps:
Select File and then Open
Browse to your document, select it and click Open
Now that your document is open, select the "Document "menu.
Select "Recognize Text Using OCR".
Select "Start".
The "Recognize Text" box is the next dialog box that pops up. From here you can select any of the options to recognize text on "All Pages", just the "Current Page", or specifically select a sequence of pages by using the "From Page" option.
If you would like to see or change the options for scanning, click the "Edit" button and follow the next set of steps.
When you click the "Edit" button, this window pops up and asks you a few questions. These are generally the defaults and it is good to leave these options alone.
The first option you may be interested in is the PDF Output Style.
If you have text in your document, you must leave it at "Formatted Text & Graphics."
The searchable image file types have a bitmap image of the pages in the foreground and the converted text on an invisible layer beneath.
If you are unsure which option to choose, select "Formatted Text & Graphics."
The next option is Downsample Images. This is a compression technique you can add to your document. Always leave it at "600dpi" no matter what resolution you scanned your document.
If you choose the other numbers, 300, 150 or 72, and continue performing OCR you will notice your documents will not have the high contrast the original did.
Note: All documents scanned at resolutions higher than 600dpi are automatically downsampled to 600dpi for OCR recognition by Acrobat. This is a software limitation.
Now that you have your settings correct, click the OK button to begin the OCR process.
The OCR process takes only a few seconds per page and should finish quite quickly. At the bottom left of the program, you will notice a progress bar move very quickly. When it is completed, your document is ready to be saved. Follow these steps to save your document.
Select File, and choose Save As.
In this window, give your document a name, and save it somewhere safe. Click the save button to finish.

Panasonic GF3 aftermarket battery question

Panasonic GF3 aftermarket battery question
I was looking around at the GF3 which is now quite cheap and the salesman told me there would be no aftermarket battery bundled with it. He said something about it not taking aftermarket batteries or something like that.
I live in Hong Kong where they usually throw in an aftermarket battery with most electrical devices like cameras and cell phones so it's unusual when they are not included. I don't know if this is specific to the GF3 , Panasonic camera's in general or maybe the saleman was just making up an excuse for them not including it in their bundle.
Anyone know if there is any truth to this?

And yeah, I just don't get what people are talking about when they say they're "so heavy" - I mean, yeah, I've heard songs with riffs and heavy distorted guitars - but it still didn't really change the big picture for me.
Oh yeah, and I've spent so much time telling people that frankly I don't hear a lot of difference between Muse and bands like Coldplay and The Killers, and they all treated me like I was fucking crazy, so I looked at their last.fm page.
Artists similar to Muse:
Franz Ferdinand, The Killers, Coldplay, Radiohead, 30 Seconds to Mars, Keane, and The Arctic Monkeys.
Yes, but I'm the one who's crazy.
It's progressive to most of the listeners, which is where they get that label from. I agree with you, that label is pretty misplaced, but I still consider them a rock band, that occasionally change it around a bit.

The state says the seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate is down in 14 of the state's 17 major regional labor markets.
The Michigan Department of Energy, Labor and Economic Growth released the December figures Thursday.
It says regional rates ranged from a low of 6.6 percent in the Ann Arbor region to a high of 14.8 percent in Northeast Lower Michigan.
Over the past year, 16 regions have seen employment grow by around 1 percent or more. Only the Northeast Lower Michigan region saw total employment drop.
All 17 regions have seen their labor forces drop since December 2009 as people have stopped looking for jobs.
Michigan's seasonally adjusted jobless rate for December announced earlier was 11.7 percent, the fourth-highest nationally behind Nevada, California and Florida. The national rate was 9.4 percent.

Slowboy Racing Colorado COG Rally 3rd Place Finish - Slowboy Racing Newsletter !
The little evo 4 that could really was able to put the squeeze on the subaru's at the Colorado COG rally this past weekend in Steam Boat Springs, Colorado. The new powerplant is fully machined and assembled by slowboy racing in our indiana facility for building engines and heads. The new found power has given ACP Rally the ablity to really hang with the subaru's on the long runs found commin in western rallys! The best part of this victory is that it was done while nursing a partially hurt dog box through the last stages of the rally, anytime a podium finish comes through on wounded drivetrain parts, you know you where doing something right on the starting stages. Be ready for the next ACP rally when we try and get Travis Pastrana back in our sites. To read more about the rally, check out the link below.

Hello ladies, I am a recent transplant from AZ (although I grew up on Long Island) and I am having a hard time finding a groove here in terms of "finding my tribe." There just seems to be no natural living consciousness here at all, especially in terms of child-rearing. Its mainstream media, made in China all the way, baby. At leasy where I am on the south shore. Any other crunchy mamas out there have advice on which communities are the most eco-conscious, farmer's markets, bike paths, etc.? Any advice is much appreciated!
Hey. I grew up on the South Shore and depending on where you are, it isn't too crunchy. Out east is a little better but not much.
You can check out LocalHarvest.org (http://www.localharvest.org/farmers-markets/) for a listing for farmer's markets. I don't know how much it's updated though. I think there might still be one in Islip village.
Heckscher State Park (http://www.nysparks.com/parks/136/details.aspx) at the end of Southern State is pretty nice if you're looking for bike paths or a place to walk around with a stroller. There's also the Massapequa State Park. That's kinda hidden but near the train station in Massapequa (or so I am told). I think that one goes almost down to the beach.
What part are you in? I grew up in Babylon and now live in Ronkonkoma. And I know what you mean by it not being too crunchy.
Welcome to Long Island! And, sadly, it's not very crunchy here. I grew up in Seattle, and miss it.
I'm on the north shore, in Port Washington, but I have lived all over Long Island. I'm currently pregnant with my first child, and know that raising my child the way I want to here is going to be challenging.
I know there is a farmers market on the weekends out in Deer Park, at the outlet mall. I haven't been to it, but I've heard it's a good one.
Chelsea, loving mama to Landon, born 11/3
Yes, it is quite frustrating for me because I feel I cannot give my children the environment I believe they would thrive best in. We always need to use a car, we rarely walk anywhere except the park, any play friends are into Super Heroes, guns and the like and I am kinda feeling like I am up against a wall in an uphill battle I will eventually lose! That is a scary thought because it is very important to me for my children to have big values and to be raised compassionately towards others, the environment, etc.
Have either of you had any luck finding like-minded mamas in either of your towns?
Thanks for the responses!
have you tried to find your nearest HMN chapter? I am on the south shore and we have one.
Where about are you located?
try meetup.com... i'm having good luck in upstate finding some fellow crunchies...good luck
If you're in Nassau, there's the Mother's Center of SW Nassau that meets in the Baptist Church in E. Rockaway. It has a lot of mainstream Mamas, but there are also quite a few crunchy mamas. It's a great group with a lot of activities, a good preschool program, activities for moms (like yoga, book club, knitting) often while members provide child care in the same building, etc.
There is the Natural Mothering Forum which meets up in suffolk county...they have a yahoo group you could search for. There is also a LI babywearing group that probably has some cross over with these other groups. As far as "eco-friendly" towns, unless you go out East, I think that's harder to find.... There's a farmer's market in RVC but I'm not sure if it's sat or sun morning. I think there's one in Westbury, Amityville I think...there is also more than one organic CSA that deliver weekly veggie shares to various areas.
There is a Long Island thread in "finding your tribe" from long ago. It may be archived now. I don't post often any more so am not sure...What area do you live in so I can direct you to more stuff?
I'm in Suffolk's north shore and I know just one person who thinks like me, so I totally relate to your concern! My crunchier lifestyle started after my son was born. Suddenly, certain things became very important to me, and certain decisions I saw other parents make became unacceptable and intolerable to me. There is a meetup group I found but it was more for moms of babies and toddlers. My child is in grade school. I'm the lone crunchy that scans labels for corn syrup and artificial ingredients and avoids television. School kids seem mostly into video games and Star Wars, makes me sad. Tomorrow I plan on getting a bike rack and buying my first bike in like 20 years, and will be looking for bike trails to enjoy with my son. I am thinking of joining a bike club, maybe will meet other parents with similar ideals there.
Thanks everyone for the reponses! I am in Massapequa on the south shore. There is nothing in the way of natural living/parenting in this area, unfortunately. I will ook into all of your great suggestions and let you know how it turns out! Throw out any more ideas my way if you have some...much appreciated :-)
attachment parenting of suffolk county meeting this friday at emma clark library in east setauket! we have a yahoo group too that has more information.
Hey - Welcome to Long Island! We need more crunchy people here! My husband and I recently opened ZenWay Natural Food Market on main street in Bay Shore to provide a haven for such like minded people...as we despair at life on Long island sometimes. Since we are to be here for awhile we are going to try and help create the environment we want/love! We hope our store can be a meeting place for all sort of groups. The store has good vibes! More murals going up next week. Please come visit! You can also check us out on facebook.
Next month we are launching our online ordering and delivery of natural/organic foods and goods and vitamins. We figure that will help busy parents!
There is also a lot of great music on Long Island. I'll keep thinking of stuff and let you know. But again, welcome!
Yes..there are many outdoor activities. I know by me there's the strawberry festival, polish fair, scottish fair, many pick your own farms etc So in the warmer weather months, there are nice family friendly activities. You can also find bike trails if you're into that as well. In the winter, so many people go sledding up at bald hill. I'm sure there are places out west you can go to. Check out the local library. They will know of activities and events in the area..maybe you will find some like-minded families that way :)

I know this is a late reponse, but I didn't happen to meet you at a bridal shower this summer did I? I sat a table with a woman (friend of the bride) who was telling me she and her husband had just opened a natural food store in Bay Shore! The conversation came up after we were discussing the new Organic Corner market in Massapequa on Broadway and how she was originally planning to buy that business from the previous owners but decide don Bayshore instead. Coincidence?!?
I'm moving to RVC from Tacoma, WA in January and wondering if any new groups have sprung up since then! I was also wondering if there are any fluffy co-ops in the area.
And I'm worried about the mainstream LI lifestyle being totally alienating! But I plan on starting or joining meetup groups, going to LL- whatever it takes. We'll find eachother, mamas!
I am so grateful to read your post. I am in Baldwin at the time. I would love to know about any groups or futher info you may have. I have a 3 yo girl. I will look into all you mentioned.I am feeling pretty alone over here. I hope to connect to other earthy/crunchy/homeschool types. Hope all is good with you.
Thank you.
How are you. I just moved to Baldwin on the border of RVC. I am looking for "my tribe". How has it been for you... .did you find a co-op? We are in St. Marks. What is a fluffy co-op.
Hope to hear from you.
Hi. I can't figure out how to get notifications so I have missed responses. We just got to town but are living in a sea of boxes. I will be trying to go to the RVC Rec in a few weeks for Roll Around Fun. I will also be looking on Meetup. Keep in touch.
In response to fluffy co-ops - I meant co-ops that sell cloth diapers and other fun baby stuff. I'm also hoping to find a food co-op for fruit and vegetables.

|U.S. Attorney's Office January 03, 2013
United States Attorney Christopher A. Crofts announced today that on January 2, 2013, Aaron David Mbonu, a 36-year-old Citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, appeared in Federal District Court for sentencing before Chief Federal District Court Judge Nancy D. Freudenthal on a single count of sexual abuse of a minor. The charge carried a maximum penalty of 15 years' imprisonment; a $250,000 fine; supervised release of not less than three years; restitution; and a $100 special assessment.
Mbonu received 51 months of imprisonment, to be followed by 10 years of supervised release, and was ordered to pay a $100 special assessment and a $400 fine. The charge stemmed from an offense that occurred between March 6, 2012 and March 16, 2012, on the Wind River Indian Reservation and involved a victim who was at least 12 years of age, but had not yet attained the age of 16 years, and was at least four years younger than the defendant. The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Some bozo on our place of work's electronic builiten board at work complained about how 99% of the cyclist commuters coming to work here run a red light nearby our lab's entrance. I responded:
> That light won't change if you approach it on your bike.
> Keep in mind that the cyclist who runs a light or stop sign only endangers
> himself, unlike the driver of a 4000 pound car.
He replied:
"hmmm... a 150+lb person + bicycle hits the front of your car and could
possibly go through your windshield causing you serious harm. Plus,
let's not forget about the emotional damage of seriously hurting or
killing of another human being. Oh, and let's not forget about the
greedy family of the injured/deceased who will probably try to sue you
because you were going 36 in a 35 (or pick your favorite detail) and
will at least get nuisance money."
Yeah, it ticks you off, too, I'm sure. 150# vs. 4000? Give me a break. Any help with a witty retort?
I was thinking something like:
With this logic, prison immates need counselors to deal with their emotional damage of hurting someone else.
I think I'm close, but it's really not that good.
Any thoughts?

A bill to set up the first-ever national aviation university in the country named after Rajiv Gandhi to train pilots, cabin crew and aircraft engineers was passed in the Lok Sabha on Friday.
Related: Rae Bareli gets aviation university
The proposed university would come up at Sonia Gandhi's constituency of Rae Bareli in Uttar Pradesh.
Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh moved the Rajiv Gandhi National Aviation University Bill, 2013 which provides for creation of this central university on a 26 acre plot at the Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Udaan Academy at Fursatganj in Rae Bareli. It was passed after a short discussion.
Related: Civil Aviation Ministry wants Rs 80 crore for setting up of aviation university
Speaking before the Bill was put to vote, Singh allayed fears of members on privatisation of airports. "I want to say that all these airports in the country will continue to be owned by the Airports Authority of India," he said, adding that any construction or development of the existing airports will be done on Public-Private Partnership (PPP) basis.
He also said his ministry is working on opening more domestic airports in the country and may expand the airports of the Air Force for this purpose in some districts.
Initiating the debate on the bill, Ananth Kumar (BJP) questioned the logic behind setting up the proposed university in Rae Bareli. "Rae Bareli is an aviation desert. It should be set up in Bangalore, where all the required infrastructure is present," he said.
Kumar also questioned why the proposed institution is being named after late Rajiv Gandhi. He said while he had nothing against the former Prime Minister, the university could have been named in the memory of M Vishveshwariah who was behind the creation of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited.
He accused Congress members of indulging in sycophancy by naming various schemes after Rajiv Gandhi and wondered why the Civil Aviation Minister, who heads RLD, had to be part of that.
The university, an autonomous body under administrative control of the Civil Aviation Ministry, would have an estimated funding of Rs 202 crore during the 12th Plan period, of which Rs 80 crore has already been sanctioned by the Centre.
The need for the university was felt due to the "marked absence of credible institutions imparting specialised technical and managerial training in air transportation, safety, security and regulatory areas," the bill's Statement of Objects and Reasons said.
"The opportunity cost of not investing in human resources required for the civil aviation sector in India at this juncture would result in reduced growth, increased cost of operations, compromise on safety and missed opportunities," it said.
The varsity would promote aviation studies, training and research with focus on emerging areas like aviation management, aviation regulation and policy, aviation history, aviation science and engineering, aviation law, aviation safety and security and aviation medicine.
During the debate on the Bill, Shailendra Kumar (SP) said while he supported the bill, he wanted the Centre to set up new institutions in other parts of UP. "You already have a Rail Coach Factory, petroleum institute and a women's university there. Everything need not be in either Rae Bareli or Amethi," he said.
Gorakhnath Pandey (BSP) also supported the measure but said similar institute should be set up Bhadoi which has ample land.
Saugata Roy (TMC) lamented a lack of standardisation in courses offering training in various branches of civil aviation. He also attacked companies like GMR and GVK, which he alleged, were not doing a good job in modernising airports.
He alleged that Singh was forced to privatise airports under pressure from the Planning Commission. He insisted that while some airport operations can be outsourced, management and critical operations should remain with the government. Sharad Yadav (JD-U) supported Roy.
Sushil Kumar Singh (JD-U), T R Baalu (DMK), Nama Nageshwar Rao (TDP), S K Bwiswmuthiary (BPF) also spoke during the debate. Saidul Haque (CPI-M) opposed the Bill.

VED stands for vehicle exercise duty or road tax. Any car used on the road is required by
law to display a tax disc. Buying a new car also requires the purchase of a road tax disc
which is more commonly known as First Year tax or Showroom tax, whereas with a used car it is
VED or road tax. A tax disc must be renewed annually or every six months.
From 1st March 2001 the annual car tax (VED) rates are determined by a car's CO2 emissions and
type of fuel used. This information can be found on the car's log book or V5 document. If your car
was registered before the 1st of March 2001 then the road tax is based only on the engine size, with
one rate for the engine sizes up to and including 1549cc and one for engines over 1549cc. This info
can also be found on the log book.

This week on DVD/Blu-ray: An animated film strictly for grown ups; one of the biggest indie hits of the year; the long-delayed latest from the Duplass brothers; a comedy about the birth of the vibrator; and a dark thriller headlined by Ethan Hawke and a fiesty Kristin Scott Thomas.
#1. "Chico & Rita"
If you're of the mindset that cartoons are for kids, then prepare for a shock. Nominated for the Best Animated Feature Academy Award this year (it lost out to "Rango"), "Chico & Rita" tells the very adult story of a young piano player in Cuba circa 1948, who falls for Rita, a beautiful and sultry singer. Spanning six decades from their first encounter to their heartfelt reunion, "Chica & Rita" charts the couple's tumultuous relationship from the streets of Havana to the hustle and bustle of Manhattan.
"You've never seen anything like 'Chico & Rita,'" wrote Eric Kohn in his glowing review, "simply because that jubilant palette and likeminded jazz soundtrack embraces its predictability with such vitality. The lush animated environment sustains each standard twist, resulting in the rare case of a movie that yearns for a time when a swooning period piece felt fresh. Looks can be deceiving; in the case of 'Chico & Rita,' they're a first-rate coup."
Extras: Included is the full-length Latin Grammy-winning soundtrack; an excerpt from the bestselling graphic novel; a making-of featurette; audio commentary with the film's directors; and the U.S. trailer.
#2. "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel"
It's little wonder the British retiree dramedy "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" is one of the biggest indie successes of the summer season. The film follows the template similar to the one that made "Mamma Mia!" a massive hit: Transplant a top tier crop of actors over the age of 50 to an exotic locale and let them loose (minus the Abba tunes). Based on Deborah Moggach's book "These Foolish Things," "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" brings together some of Britain's finest thespians (Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Penelope Wilton and Tom Wilkinson) for a life-affirming lark about a group of old Brits who venture off to India to take up residence at the Marigold Hotel, an establishment set up to host retirees and run by a young man in over his head (a hammy Dev Patel). With a cast this large, the plot at times feels more suited for a BBC miniseries, but thanks to reliable director John Madden ("Shakespeare in Love," "The Debt") -- who's proven himself adept at handling big ensembles -- "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" is a charming diversion that wears it's crowd-pleasing ambitions on its sleeve.
Extras: The featurettes "Behind the Story: Lights, Colors and Smiles," "Casting Legends," "Welcome to the Real Best Exotic Marigold Hotel," "Trekking to India," and "Tuk Tuk Travels." You'll also find the U.S. trailer.
#3. "The Do-Deca-Pentathlon"
It's been a long time coming, but Mark and Jay Duplass' comedy "The Do-Deca Pentathlon" finally lands on DVD and Blu-ray today, four years after being completed. Shot after their last low-budget effort "Baghead" in 2008, and put to rest while the duo worked on "Cyrus" and "Jeff, Who Lives at Home" for Fox Searchlight, "The Do-Deca Pentathlon" world premiered to solid notices at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, proving that the film wasn't shelved because it's no good -- it was just bad timing. The microbudget comedy centers on a pair of warring brothers (Mark Kelly and Steve Zissis) engaged in their own private 25-event Olympics. "'Do-Deca' focuses on the difficulty of leaving youth behind to face more advanced challenges," Kohn wrote in his review out of SXSW. "The movie illustrates two certainties: Nobody stops growing up and the Duplass brothers still have the skills to prove it."
Extras: Two featurettes -- "Meet the Real Brothers" and "Rock, Paper, Scissors with the Real Brothers."

The Christina-Taylor Green Memorial Foundation, the charity named for the 9-year-old killed by a gunman, along with five others, as she waited to meet then-U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, has closed.
The surviving members of the Green family — mother Roxanna, father John, and brother Dallas — announced the charity's closing in an open letter published in The Arizona Daily Star on Sunday.
"We are proud of what we have accomplished in Christina-Taylor's memory," the letter read, "but as our life's journey continues, it is now time for us to take a step back to continue the healing process."
Christina-Taylor was the youngest person killed in the January 2011 shooting at the Safeway just north of Tucson.
Giffords, the target of the gunman, was critically wounded by a shot to the head.
John Green said on Monday that establishing the charity helped his family recover emotionally after the shooting, but that running the charity had become overwhelming.
"We just realized at one point that we needed a rest," he said, during a phone interview on Monday from the family's Tucson home. "We needed to heal and rest."
The charity awarded more than $425,000 in grants over the past two years.
Most of the grants went to Tucson-area organizations that work with children, according to the charity's website. Green said the foundation also helped with other projects, including the rebuilding of the playground at Christina-Taylor's school, that did not go through the grant process.
The charity also gave out two scholarships to young female students who, like Christina-Taylor, showed interest in politics and leadership.
The foundation's president, Thom Martinez, said the foundation stopped actively soliciting funds in the fall. The board will hold a meeting in early April to figure out how to distribute the money that is left in the non-profit's account, Martinez said.
Neither Green parent is on the board of the foundation, but Martinez said the board understood the family's need to step away.
"It's a pace that most people cannot keep up as long as they did," he said. "We're glad they kept it up as long as they did."

The best part of a hot day was eating a popsicle, sometimes even two or three, in your opinion. It was about thirty degrees outside, but while you were sitting on a bench under the shadow of a tall tree and with your popsicle in your hand you didn't care much.
You closed your eyes and just listened to nature's sounds around you while you sucked happily on the delicious frozen thing, enjoying how it manage to cool you down. You were sure this was a good day and hoped that no one would ruin it for you.
"WHAT'S THAT YOU'RE EATING?!" You suddenly heard, making you jump and almost bite off half of the popsicle if you don't quickly remove it from your mouth. You glared up at the source of the annoying voice, that stupid, crazy albino guy, Gilbert. "DAMNIT GIL, STOP SCARYING ME!" You yelled back at him. And he didn't only scare you with his sudden yell but you also really hoped that his perverted side will not appear.
"Fine, fine, calm down! But what the hell are you eating?" "I don't know, what does it look like to you?" You let out an annoyed sigh. "I'm guessing it's a blue popsicle or something like that." You looked away and continued sucking on your melting snack.
"Can I try that?" He asked, leaning down to get closer to your face and he curiously eyed your popsicle. "No." You answered shortly, holding your sweet cooler aside to make sure he can't reach it and you gave him another glare since he was still so close to your face. "What?" You frowned and a stupid grin appeared on his face.
"You know..." His grin only widened. "I don't even need the popsicle to try it." "Eh? What do you mean?!" In the next moment you were forced to lean back, it took you as a surprise when he suddenly got even closer and stared straight into your eyes. "What the..." You whimpered when You couldn't get any farther from him and he didn't seem like he was about to get back either.
You almost freaked out and your body felt like it was petrified. He never averted his gaze, he was staring into your eyes the whole time. Then you felt his breath on your lips... You closed your eyes immediately.He came just a little closer... And you suddenly pulled the popsicle between your lips and his, managing to escape from that embarassing moment.
He chuckled softly and took a long lick of your popsicle then finally straightened up. When you felt him getting out of your face, you had the courage to look at him again but you were blushing madly. He licked his lips and giggled again. "Thank you, it's really delicious." And he was still grinning...
"Gilbeeeert..." You growled softly and pouted. "Ja?" He sang like nothing happened. "You won't get away with this, I hope you know." He blinked. "Was?" You suddenly stood up, wrapped your free arm around his neck and pulled him close, and not even giving him time to think, you kissed him long.
He blinked a few times and blushed deep red, just like you did before, but when he was conscious again, he slowly wrapped his arm around your waist and pulled you closer. You didn't stop pressing your lips so sweetly against his until you felt a sticky drop falling on your hand, which you were holding the popsicle in. You pulled away and quickly sucked the drop not to let your hand become sticky and ate some more so it wouldn't continue dripping.
"Ja, delicious..." You heard Gilbert mumbling. You giggled and looked back at him. "S-so..." He rubbed the back of his neck and looked aside. "Hmm?" He was still blushing. He looked at you about half a minute later, his expression not even changing. "Yes?" You asked again. "Are you eating that?" He asked quickly. "Of course I am!"

"Are you eating that?" He asked quickly." F--- yeah!"
That's my answer
That's my answer
Sometimes I forget that the U.S. Is pretty much the only country to use Fahrenheit now so when I saw 30 degrees I was kinda confused like that's cold but then I realized it was Celsius and I was less confused
*Throws rock* Go buy your own damned Popsicle. I'm very possessive of my food.
NEIN. I'm not gonna share my popsicle. If he wants a popsice he has to move his lazy( and sexy) ass and buy one
Jesus. That would turn a lot of people on. ( not me obviously, but still great story XD )
its ok gil, we can share
lol one time on the my bus I ate a banana and immediately started to suck on it (no I don't suck dick) and since in the only girl on my section of the buss all the guys stared at me like Oh Shit you got skills so I bite the banana like a crazy person and they all grabbed their crotch it was so funny
Yay prussia
When you say 30° do you mean like, 30°C
yes, that's when it's hot you know
I don't think I have ever seen a blue popsicle in my life. I'll just use my imagination. Oh! @///@
there are blue ones i think the flavor was blue raspberry or blueberry something like that
if there is green there is probably blue too~
Prussia I think what you meant to ask was "Do you want to kiss again?" "Yes I would....After I finish my popsicle~".....I have to tease him a little too ya know~ The sexy Prussian can't have all the fun!

Really! Like, why do I even read fanfiction, it's just reminding me of how pathetic my actual life is. T-T

Group Works to End Child Marriage ... Everywhere But HereMadeline Holler
Yesterday, a group of prominent world leaders launched a worldwide campaign to end child marriage in one generation. The focus of the initiative, Girls Not Brides, is to help activists in the developing world who are already working toward that goal through education and support.
Child marriage is huge worldwide. Some 10 million girls under 18 are married each year, often to much older men. A recent "National Geographic" piece featured Yemeni girls, some of whom were turned over by their families for marriage when they were only 6. A particularly powerful picture was of a 14-year-old mother washing her newborn, as the girl's 2-year-old played in the background.
The Yemeni girl was married off by her parents when she was 12. What I think is interesting is that in some states in the U.S., parents could try to marry off their 12-year-old as well. Legally.
Katherine Gustafson writes for Slate's Double X blog about the consequence of marriage for child brides and their communities. The initiative appears to define a child bride as any girl under 18 years of age. There's no doubt that the Girls Not Brides' goal is huge, important and an act of humanity. But I think its influence should be aimed right here in the U.S., where in most every state it is legal for girls under 18 to get married — a fact that I find utterly surprising every time I am reminded of it.
To be sure, in most states a person must be 18 years old to legally get married. Though, Nebraska sets the marriageable age at 19. However, Mississippi lets a guy get married at 17-years-old and a girl at 15-years-old.
Here's the bigger problem: all states have another minimum age, usually 16-years-old, when they can get married with parental consent. In Nebraska, Oregon, Washington and Indiana, the parental consent age is 17. But in Massachusetts, boys can get married as young as 14 with parental and judicial consent; girls can get married in that state, again with consent of parents and the court, as young as 12.
Other states also let the age drop even further as long as a judge approves it. I have no idea how often 12-year-old girls are getting married in Massachusetts, but I'm sure it's rare and if we're really talking about protecting girls, should probably be never.
I can imagine scenarios where child marriage would be the one way for a girl to be rescued from a dire familial situation, but one has to ask: how does that situation differ from a Yemeni girl's, whose family no longer wants to feed or educate her? It's not that different.
Some U.S. states have marriageable age exceptions for pregnant girls, but that, again, is hardly a solution for that girl. If she marries, she'll have health insurance? Well then that's a problem with how we deliver health care in the U.S. She's have stability? She's 12, how will a child husband bring her stability? His family? Why must a young girl go through the motions of playing house in order to receive support from the adults in her life?
I think efforts like Girls Not Brides are great and necessary, but I'm also wary of double standards. Granted, it's a global initiative, not one being pushed by the U.S. administration, but it's hard not to get behind when you see the damage giving birth in adolescence can have on a girl, not to mention the educational (and, therefore, economic) battle starting a family so young can be. But if we can see the injustice parents who think they know best pushing their girl to marry in Yemen or Ethiopia or Saudi Arabia, can't we see the injustice of the same thing happening in our own back yard? Should that be OK? U.S. girls should not be brides, either.

Hmm. I just did a build with both the SF.net compilers and then a 2nd

The Leopard build failed deep in VT, though, with some obscure C++ STL-

without VT with --enable-contrib-no-build=vt.
I'll send a note to the VT guys.

I was able to get a hold of an NOS UN72 73mm shell with 113mm spindle. Stupid question though, given I'm more of a cup and cone than a cartridge guy. The left side shell slips off, the right doesn't appear to (maybe I haven't forced it adequately). What exactly am I supposed to do here? Does the right side cup with the shoulder come off?
Thanks for any help

- What is the currency in Spain?
The currency in Spain is the euro, the same as in other European Union countries.
The euro is divided into 100 cents.
• There are eight different coins: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents, and 1 and 2 euros.
• There are seven different bank notes, for the following amounts: 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 euros.
On the following page you will find information about types of exchanges that may be useful for planning your trip:https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/exchange/eurofxref/html/index.en.html
- How much money do I need for my stay?
The average price for products and services varies depending on the province you are visiting, and the season. As a reference, we provide a list of approximate prices for services and products:
- A single metro (underground) or bus ticket costs around €1,50-2.
- A glass of beer costs between € 2 and € 6, the latter at a fashionable place.
- A ticket to the cinema costs between € 5 and € 9.
- A ticket to the theatre costs between € 12 and € 30.
- A ticket to the opera or a concert could cost between €50 and €100.
- A breakfast special, including a cup of coffee, a bun or pastry, and a glass of juice costs between € 2 and € 4, depending on where you go.
- A daily special at an inexpensive restaurant costs between € 7 and € 10. If you are choosing from the regular menu, the price starts at € 18, while at a medium-priced restaurant, it would start at € 36 per person. At a "three-fork" restaurant, the price per person can come to € 90.
- Accommodations by category (informative prices for a double room):
- 5 stars: between € 200 and € 300
- 4 stars: between € 100 and € 200
- 3 stars: between € 60 and € 100
- 2 stars or fewer: less than € 60.
- How else can I pay?
With credit cards:
Payment using recognised international credit cards is also commonly available in Spanish shops. They usually have signs indicating this option at the entrance to the establishment. When you make a payment you should show your passport or ID card.
With traveller's cheques:
Traveller's cheques, accompanied by a passport, are also accepted in many hotels, restaurants and shops.
- Where can I exchange foreign currency?
This service is available at all bank offices, open to the public Monday through Saturday, from 8.30 to 14.00 h (except in the months of June through September, when they remain closed on Saturday). It is also available at currency exchange shops at all major cities, as well as selected hotels and travel agencies.
- Is tipping mandatory?
No; in every single establishment in Spain, service is included with the price of the meal or drink. However, tipping is a common practice at bars and restaurants, hotels, and taxis, depending on the total price for the service, and on the generosity of the client. It is usually around five to ten percent of the total price.
- How can I get a sales-tax (IVA) refund?
If you country of residence is outside of the European Union, you may request a sales-tax refund for your purchases. There are several companies in Spain that are authorised to process sales-tax (IVA) refunds. You need to request a form for your sales-tax refund at the shop. Spanish law establishes the minimum purchase for you to be able to get a sales-tax refund at € 90.15. This amount needs to be spent at the same shop, and on the same day, for it to be eligible for a Tax Free cheque. The paperwork is simple; to obtain the refund, you must do the following:
- Ask for a tax-free receipt of purchase, for which you need to show a valid proof of foreign residency (passport).
- Show your purchases, and seal the tax-free goods in customs. (You have three months from the time of purchase to seal your goods).
- Ask for the refund at the authorised refund-processing company. These companies have IVA refund offices at all major airports in Spain. You can get your refund in cash, or credit it back to your credit card.

SOS FIRES: Youth Intervention Programs Technical Assistance Project (2001)
Brian Saylor, PhD, MPH
In an effort to shed light on the juvenile fire setting issue and provide an effective tool for prevention programs across North America, SOS FIRES has commissioned an analysis of the behavioral and demographic aspects of child fire setting to determine thinking errors made by children who have misused fire. Experiences currently documented in Portland, Oregon and Anchorage, Alaska support this data and show that child-set fires may account for as much as 10-15% of the total fires experienced by those communities.
The Institute for Health Studies provided technical assistance, including data entry and database and file management in support of this ongoing research project. This assistance was completed in June 2001.
The results of the Fire Stoppers Project are intended to provide valuable insight into the psychological, sociological, and environmental dynamics related to children who engage in fire setting. The results are also intended to provide a blueprint for the development of educational programs that should prevent much of the child fire setting behavior from occurring in the first place. SOS FIRES anticipates that these findings will become valuable tools for fire and life safety educators across North America.
An intended outcome will be a universal database that will include common data fields utilized by the collective project participants. This database will become available for any program looking to collect data for program evaluation or tracking purposes.

Sept. 18, 2001
STANFORD, Calif. - The Stanford Athletic Department announced the addition of another World Cup player to its coaching ranks and to the women's lacrosse program. Quinn Carney, a 2001 graduate of the University of Maryland, joins Michele Uhlfelder and Liz Kittleman in the program.
At the University of Maryland, Carney was a four-year starter on four consecutive National Championship teams (1998-2001). She earned All-America and All-ACC honors twice, as well as being named the ACC Tournament MVP in 2001.
"Quinn is a great addition to our staff and a great fit, in terms of the ambitious goals of our program," commented Uhlfelder. "She has worked hard to establish herself early on as one of the premier players in the world, and comes to us with the experience of both a National Champion and a World Champion. Above all, we are excited about Quinn's level of knowledge and enthusiasm for teaching the game."
This past summer, she played alongside head coach Uhlfelder on the US World Cup team. Carney, the youngest player on the US team, was named Player of the Match twice, against Wales and Canada. The US defeated Australia in the Championship match 14-8 to claim its fourth consecutive IFWLA World Cup title.
In 2001, Stanford women's lacrosse compiled a 14-5 overall record and went 9-0 in the Western Women's Lacrosse League en route to the first top-20 national ranking in school history. The Cardinal ended the season by capturing its fourth consecutive WWLL title by defeating California 11-6 in the championship match.

In sub-Saharan Africa, significant progress has been made in reducing childhood death and illness from vaccine preventable diseases. This is the result of parallel and complementary efforts to increase routine immunization capacity, and to target highly communicable diseases like polio and measles through mass campaign activities. Measles, a leading cause of death in young children, has been on the decline since 2000 and accounts for nearly 25% of the overall reduction in child deaths since 1990. Between 2000-2008 as a result of accelerated measles mortality reduction (AMMR) strategies, measles deaths declined by 78% globally and 92% in Africa.
This progress has slowed significantly since 2007 as funding for measles control activities has declined. Sub-Saharan Africa is at risk of losing the substantial gains it has made. Further, achieving Millennium Development Goal 4 – to reduce under-5 child mortality by two-thirds by 2015 - will not be possible without additional support for immunization.
Global progress in preventing measles deaths and strengthening the health systems of developing countries relies on cooperation and leadership. With funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, The Task Force for Global Health is working in partnership with The Carter Center to involve the Elders and other leaders in sub-Saharan Africa in mobilizing adequate resources to sustain and extend the progress achieved to date. In a recent op-ed, President Carter and Kofi Annan suggested a balanced immunization investment strategy. Read the op-ed here. This collaborative project, Accelerated Measles Mortality Reduction Improving Routine Immunizations in Africa (AMMRIRIA) works with the Measles Initiative, a partnership established in 2001 to support immunizations campaigns and disease surveillance. The core members of the Measles Initiative include American Red Cross (ARC), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations Foundation (UNF), and the World Health Organization (WHO). The partnership has provided over $700 million in support of accelerated measles activities.

Live blog: "The Voice" Season 4 live finale - performance episode
7:00 p.m.: The first night of the two-night "The Voice" Season 4 finale starts now, and now is the time for the Top 3 – Muskogee's The Swon Brothers and 16-year-old Texan Danielle Bradbery competing for Oklahoma country music superstar Blake Shelton's team and indie pop-rocker Michelle Chamuel representing Usher's team – to take advantage of what host Carson Daly calls their final chance to prove they are "The Voice" to America.
7:03: After the first of what's sure to be many montages, we've got the coaches opening the show with a horn-tastic rendition of Joe Cocker's cover of The Beatles' "With a Little Help from My Friends." There's lots of flash and fun involved, and I'm realizing now that I'm really, really gonna miss Shakira when Christina Aguilera comes back next season. In contrast, I haven't missed Xtina at all.
7:10: Host Carson Daly is thanking the coaches for a great opening number and hushing Blake. "Is he causing trouble, already?" Adam Levine asks. Naturally. "I'm sorry, sir," Blake replies. Adam says he just wants everyone to have fun. Shakira says she is going to the contestants' very own cheerleader – "imported direct from Colombia" – and she is going to miss the comfy chair and these jerks the next few months. Usher says he wants Michelle and everyone to remember that "we're humans being and not just humans doing" and to enjoy it. Blake says all three of the Top 3 have shown that they want to work hard and they don't need to beat it into their heads anymore.
7:12: Now we've got Swon-tage going of The Swon Brothers run through Season 3 – and even earlier than that. Their dad, Kelly Swon, told me during the Muskogee homecoming that Zach started playing music on Mickey Mouse drums when they were 2 years old, and they've got pictures to prove it. Blake comments that they've got such a wave of momentum going, and they need to capitalize. They're reiterating that they never expected to make the finals. They're going to do The Eagles' "I Can't Tell You Why." It's a challenging song, so I hope they nail it …
7:15: Here we go, Zach is on piano, Colton is on guitar and they're rocking those sibling harmonies. They're nailing the falsettos on this, which is an amazingly positive sign. I hope their next song is something really high-energy that will contrast, but I think this is a great opening salvo. I love that Shakira is waving a "Go Okies" pennant for them! What a great sport! Have I mentioned I'm gonna miss her?
7:18: Blake is on his feet applauding, and the Swons and Blake are, as Carson put it, "acknowledging the new Okie from Colombia." Usher is praising them "for finding the girl part of their voices," evolving from strictly country and picking a classic effort; his praise seems a little backhanded, which is maybe naturally since they're a threat to his finalist. Shakira is gushing that she is a fan and they've made her like them even though she doesn't follow country. Adam notes that he was a bit critical of their last Eagles performance and that they nailed this one and he thought they did a great job, which was a tall order considering the Eagles are some of the best singers around. Blake turns Usher's slightly sharp comments into a straight-up compliment, saying that he believes the reason people can't always put their finger on what they like about the Swon siblings is that they are constantly evolving. Well played, sir.
7:27: This is what they're calling a "defining moment" performance. Michelle Chamuel takes the stage in her trademark black glasses and red jacket, and the latter seems particularly since she is performing Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble" from her "Red" album. I really like Michelle's voice and her self-deprecating awkwardness and her goofy dancing. I'm not sure I'd ever vote for her even if there wasn't a pair of Okies in this competition, but she's got a certain likeability and definite vocal talent. My inner once-bullied nerd-girl wants to take her out for a latte and a good girl chat.
7:31: Usher is on his feet and fist-pumping. Shakira praises her energy and her "extraordinary, out-of-the-ordinary" talent. Adam notes that there's an energy that Michelle creates onstage that just can't be fabricated and is "the coolest thing in the world." Blake is again talking about the evolution of an audience from the first time they saw her on the blind audition this year to now when he has to acknowledge she is a rock star. "This is a defining moment," Usher says, adding neither expected to pick a Taylor Swift song for her – nor did they expect Swifty to drop in on their rehearsals. "You can't have that many relatives out there screaming that loud, that's fans." Indeed, she has fans now, and they were very loud.
7:38: Christina Milian is chatting with The Swon Brothers asking what they loved the most about this experience. Colton says they love playing with the band there and getting lots of advice from the coaches. Zach says "it's definitely the relationships that you build day in and day out." He says they're going to miss everybody.
7:40: Blake met with 16-year-old Texan Danielle Bradbery's parents and stepparents over lunch, and he's got kind words for them about instilling the confidence in her she needed to make it through the competition. Blake also praises her for introducing country classics for a new generations. He says she's in the Top 3 out of 40,000 hopefuls. Wow. That's a big number. Her parents says Danielle just wants to make Blake proud. "Mission accomplished," he says. He also says he's just honored to be part of her story. See, this is why he's so good at this.
7:42: Danielle's first performance of the night is the Patty Loveless classic "Timber, I'm Falling in Love," which she's doing as a duet with Blake. She's got a terrific voice and a fresh, youthful sweetness to her. I'm rooting for the Swon siblings, obviously, but I don't think I'm going to be disappointed with whoever wins this season. Her parents are on their feet, along with the rest of the crowd at the end of that charming performance.
7:49: Blake says The Swon Brothers "really turned a corner" and showed how talented they were with "Danny's Song," which is their "defining moment" encore performance of the night. Cue the candles, piano, Colton and Zach to do the Loggins and Messina/Anne Murray hit one more time. They topped the iTunes country charts with this one last week, and it was a big part of the reason they're here now. These guys are definitely consistent. They sound just as great tonight. Read what The Swon Brothers had to say about picking that song in my interview with them last week by clicking here.
7:53: Usher says that the fact that they personalized performance and "did it such justice" allowed them to give such an incredible rendition of the song that he practically disappeared into it. Adam says Usher stole what he was going to say and that they should feel proud because they made it feel new. "I'll be back in Oklahoma on Wednesday and … I'll guarantee you they're playing it on the radio back home in Oklahoma." Blake says they're harmonies just get better and they just keep getting better. I tend to agree, and I'm not even saying that 'cause they're fellow Okies.
8:00: Michelle is going to do Annie Lennox's "Why" tonight in an all-white suit in front of a lighted magic mirrors. A bit of high-tech FX there. It's another challenging song, and it's good to see The Top 3 taking risks and pushing themselves right up to the end.
8:05: Shakira is now rooting for Michelle by wearing black-rimmed glasses similar to hers. She is praising Michelle not just for her talent but for her sweet and humble attitude, which she thinks will help the singer achieve long-term success. Blake says he's still freaked out by the mirror trick, and he says he was refreshed to see a more laidback performance from her. She has shown more of her rocker song. Usher says that a combination of likeability and capability is what every artist hopes to have, and she's got it.
8:12: Carson notes The Swon Brothers found kindred spirits in Blake, which is probably an understatement. Now, we're seeing highlights of their parents Kelly and Tammy Swon meeting Blake and their boys for lunch. Their mom says that it's a surprise to see them in the finals, and the boys are slightly sarcastic but smiling in telling her thanks. Their mom then tells the story their dad wasn't sure when he talked to me that he wanted out to the world: When they got in trouble, he used to make the boys go their room and not come out until they had written a song. So funny. I've enjoyed chatting a couple of times with Kelly Swon, but it sounds like I need to get their mom on the phone, too! But the family gets serious when they say that Blake turning his chair at the blind audition meant so much after 15 years of hearing no.
8:14: Yes! I got my wish for Blake and the Swon siblings to do a funny Brad Paisley song. They're crooning "Celebrity," which basically mocks reality shows! They sound great, they're having fun, and I love that they got to show off that ironic sense of humor they share.
8:22: For Danielle's "defining moment," Blake is going back to the start of the live shows and her powerhouse rendition of Pam Tillis' "Maybe It Was Memphis." The song is a personal fave of my mine, so yes, I approve. I love her cute sparkly silver flower-motif dress with the fringe and her sparkle-adorned cowboy boots. She has a great smile, and she sounds fabulous, per the norm.
8:26: Blake is on his feet cheering and clapping and Carson tells him "Sit down. Sit your butt down!" Shakira is now wearing a black cowboy hat to show her support for her Danielle and says she's going to "holy cow her one more time" and that she has "taken the bull by the horn." After saying that Shakira looks adorable in her hat, Adam says he hates Blake for managing to snag Danielle in this competition … and then goes so far to declare Danielle his predictive winner of this season of "The Voice." He says he doesn't want to admit that Blake is going to win again, but he's got Blake on his feet and clapping. Shelton goes on to declare her a star and say she's one of the most important artists that's ever been on the show. High praise.
8:30: Carson says that the Top 3 are teaming up for a big surprise after the break.
8:34: Christina Milian has all four of the Top 3′s moms – kudos for including both Danielle's mom and stepmom – on the upper stage and lets them give a word of encouragement to their kids. Tammy Swon reminds her boys "Remember, no backup plan. Carson responds "We see where some of that Swon humor comes from," and then he's introducing a special group performance of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes' "Home," with the quartet swapping verses. Now, we've got the rest of the top 16 reuniting to sing it all together. Love that the Swons gave Holly Tucker a big hug. So sweet. It's a fun rendition of a fun song.
8:42: We're getting close to voting time! Get ready people!
8:43: Now, we've got Usher meeting Michelle and her family for brunch to get to know them better. Her mom is part of a Jewish family from Egypt who came to the U.S. as refugees, so they are thrilled that Michelle is getting to be part of the American dream. It's great to see three likeable all-American talents from such different backgrounds competing for the title of "The Voice."
8:45: For their duet, Michelle and Usher are going to perform U2′s "One," and he's got the crowd clapping along as he starts it off. Like Blake, it's been great to see Usher bond with his finalist over the course of the season. He and Michelle seem to have a really close relationship, which is cool. They sound great, and they seem to be enjoying sharing the stage together.
8:53: It's shocking to look back and remember that her blind audition was Danielle Bradbery's first big performance. She's growing up fast, and she's going to do Sara Evans' "Born to Fly," which is a really uptempo song with a wide vocal range. Again, so good to see the Top 3 challenging themselves.
8:55: Here is Danielle's cover of "Born to Fly," and she's doing well. But the true test is on the choruses … and she nails it. Man, there are millions who would kill for that all-natural perfect pitch that girl's got on her.
8:58: Huge applause for Danielle. Usher says "It's obvious you did the right thing going with Blake." Adam says she's so perfect it's almost boring. Blake says "At the end of the day, Danielle, honestly, it's hard for me to even look at you, I'm one of the millions wrapped around your finger now." He reiterates his belief that she's important to the show and the music industry.
9:00: Voting is now open and closes at 9 a.m. Oklahoma time Tuesday. You can vote by toll-free call, text, iTunes download or online at www.nbc.com/the-voice. To see how to do it all, click here.
Please return here Tuesday night for my live blog of the results.

I was going to put this question in another post but I thought it would be better to start a new one.
Phil Liggett and Co were claiming that Alexandre was being betrayed by his team because they were the ones chasing him down when he made a break but personally I think they were just making mischief.
I remember the incident where Alexandre had been seriously dropped on a climb but fought his way back on the decent and caught up just in time for the next climb. When the next climb started he attacked straight away and it was Jan and his other team mate who bridged the gap to the scorn of the commentators but realy was Alexandre being for real. Was he realy going to escape anyway and if he could have stuck out the move wouldn't he be grateful for his team mates company and assistance?
Personally I saw it as a bid for minor fame on Alexandre's part rather then a serious move. If he had it in him he could have helped his team mates rather than blowing up.
I don't doubt that there's some rupture in the team but the commentators were just mischief making in my view.
I don't want to sound too down on Alexandre as he's put some excitement into the race and he's certainly giving it his all.
Regards, Anthony

Oscar-winning actress Cate Blanchett has revealed that she was unsure if she wanted to become an artiste.
Blanchett, 44, won an Oscar for her portrayal of Katharine Hepburn in Martin Scorsese's 2004 film 'The Aviator', reported
Digital Spy.
"I don't know if I ever really wanted to be an actor. I'm an active person - the thought of waiting for the phone to ring wasn't something that sat happily with me.
"But I kept doing it, trying not to do it, and then doing it. There's such a blessed unrest that you feel all the time, but maybe that's what keeps you going," she said.
Blanchett will be next seen in Woody Allen's movie 'Blue Jasmine' and George Clooney's 'The Monuments Men'.

Between 1988 and 2010, the number of parents who could correctly identify their children as overweight or obese went down, according to a new study.
Today, almost one out of every three kids is overweight or obese, said senior author Dr. Jian Zhang of the Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro. They are at significantly increased risk of a number of diseases as they grow older, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis and cancer.
The first step to dealing with any problem is, of course, being aware of it, he said.
Zhang and his team examined height and weight data on 2,871 children, ages six to 11, from the 1988 to 1994 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and 3,202 similar kids from the 2005 to 2010 cycles of the survey.
In all cases, the childrens parents were asked if they considered their child overweight, underweight, just about the right weight, or dont know.
In the 1988 to 1994 data set, 78 percent of parents of an overweight boy and 61 percent of parents of an overweight girl, identified the child as about the right weight. That number increased to 83 percent for boys and 78 percent for girls in the 2005 to 2010 period.
Similarly, for obese boys, 26 percent of parents said they were about the right weight in 1988 compared to 37 percent in 2010, according to results in Pediatrics.
Like their parents, many kids also identify themselves as about the right weight even if they are overweight or obese, and those kids are less likely to try to lose weight.
The increasing trend of weight underestimation is alarming, Zhang told Reuters Health by email.
Studies overwhelmingly show that parental perceptions of their childs weight influence family readiness to foster healthy behaviors and increasingly underestimating puts more kids at the risk of becoming overweight or obese, he said.
Other studies have shown that overweight adults are increasingly not perceiving themselves as overweight, said Mary A. Burke, a senior economist in the research department of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.
Burke was not part of the new study.
The misclassification rate was quite high for both time periods, she told Reuters Health by phone.
For six to 11 year old children, a lot of parents could say Im waiting to make a pronouncement because kids are always changing, they may grow out of it, she said.
And 'about the right weight could reasonably include
