WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama picked a senior White House budget official to become the acting head of the Internal Revenue Service on Thursday, the same day another top official announced plans to leave the agency amid the controversy over agents targeting tea party groups.
Obama named longtime civil servant Daniel Werfel as the acting IRS commissioner. Werfel, 42, currently serves as controller of the Office of Management and Budget, making him a key player in implementing recent automatic spending cuts known as the sequester.
"Throughout his career working in both Democratic and Republican administrations, Danny has proven an effective leader who serves with professionalism, integrity and skill," Obama said in a statement. "The American people deserve to have the utmost confidence and trust in their government, and as we work to get to the bottom of what happened and restore confidence in the IRS, Danny has the experience and management ability necessary to lead the agency at this important time."
Werfel replaces Steven Miller as acting IRS commissioner. Miller was forced to resign Wednesday amid the growing scandal, though he is still scheduled to testify Friday at a congressional hearing.
Also Thursday, Joseph Grant, one of Miller's top deputies, announced plans to retire June 3, according to an internal IRS memo. Grant is commissioner of the agency's tax exempt and government entities division, which includes the agents that targeted tea party groups for additional scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status.
Grant joined the IRS in 2005. Before that he was a top official at the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. It was not immediately clear whether Grant's retirement was related to the controversy over tea party targeting by the IRS.
Werfel agreed to head the IRS through the end of September, the White House said. Presumably, Obama will nominate a new commissioner by then.
IRS commissioners serve five-year terms and must be confirmed by the Senate. Werfel won't need Senate approval because he is a temporary appointment. The Senate, however, confirmed Werfel for his current position without opposition in 2009.
Werfel has had several jobs at the Office of Management and Budget and worked there during President George W. Bush's administration.

Le Boudin Blanc (5 Trebeck St.) is a multi-story bistro located at the western end of Shepherd's Market. It has tables outside when the weather is nice and many rooms inside on multi-levels that you walk through as you proceed upstairs. Jfood viewed this as a cross between an English Pub and French Bistro atmosphere and was looking forward to a relaxing meal.
Appetizer – Since it was a French Bistro, Jfood ordered the Onion Soup (£5) to start. It was served in an enormous cauldron that was placed in front of Jfood. Atop was a nicely melted layer of cheese. The cheese was less sharp than Jfood expected and he does not believe it was Gruyere, more like a Havarti. The soup itself was very tasty but as Jfood has mentioned he finds the food in London a little under-seasoned and adding a little salt to the soup made it much more enjoyable. Unlike most places where Jfood has ordered onion soup, Jfood was very glad that La Boudin Blanc did not overload bread into the soup. Overall Jfood was very pleased with the soup.
Entrée – Jfood decided to go full out when he saw the Dover Sole Meuniere (£24.50). He ordered it off the bone and it arrived nicely presented, plain on a plate with a half of lemon nicely wrapped in gauze. The fish was moist, firm and succulent. A little lemon squeezed over the top and Jfood was in heaven. It was perfectly prepared in its simplicity. Like the other dish, Jfood found a little salt was required to make this dish more in line with Jfood's palate. Simply prepared and presented. Jfood highly recommends this dish.
Side – For a side Jfood ordered the pommes frites, why not? They were crispy, but again lacked the seasoning Jfood is used to, so the saltshaker was used again. Overall, the frites were good, but not great.
Dessert – Smiling ear to ear, Jfood decided to complete the meal with a slice of Tart Tartin with Vanilla Ice Cream (£5.95). Unfortunately it was a little disappointing. Jfood thought that the dessert chef allowed the caramel to cook a little too long and it crossed slightly into having a burnt/bitter flavor. This overpowered the apples. This was a fair tart tartin, and if Jfood returns, he would order a different dessert.
Service – Jfood and colleague arrived without a reservation and were greeted warmly and seated efficiently. The table service was very attentive, but the kitchen must have been slammed as the pacing was very slow. But with good conversation and several apologies, it was not a problem for our table. We worked a very long day and relaxation was a nice thing at the end of the day. But it did appear that other tables were getting a bit edgy waiting.
So Jfood's ratings:
Onion Soup – 8
Dover Sole – 9
Pomme Frites - 6
Tart Tartin – 4
Service – 10
Pacing from Kitchen – Very slow

IU cashing in on basketball success
Indiana University is cashing in on the Hoosier's big wins and high hopes. In Bloomington, winning on the basketball court is worth millions.
IU's financial scoreboards are lighting up along with the faces of fans and Athletic Director Fred Glass.
"Being at IU right now is the greatest thing in the world," Glass said with a grin.
Athletic Club donations that provide scholarships to student athletes jumped more than a million dollars last year and are up 22 percent so far this year. For the first time in decades, alumni Kim Normington returned to campus, he says, because of basketball.
"IU's back after about a decade in the dark ages," said Normington.
It's been 25 years since IU won a national champion ship. This year's Big Ten title is IU's first in a decade. And don't underestimate the power of IU's number one national ranking (although the Hoosiers dropped to number two this week behind Gonzaga.)
"Professors are happy. Administrators are happy. Business people I talk to around the state are happy. Legislators are fairly happy. It's a good time to be a Hoosier," said Glass.
The financial benefits extend beyond athletics. In the five years since Coach Tom Crean arrived, donations to the IU Foundation are up nearly $40 million.
Hoosiers, who perhaps hid their loyalties for years, aren't shy any more. IU gear sales are in top gear. A varsity store on campus had its shelves and racks piled high with jerseys, shorts, shirts, pants, hats, and anything Crimson and Cream.
Before Tuesday night's game against Ohio State, store workers expect Hoosier fans to clean the place out. Royalties from IU apparel sales are already up 30 percent this year.
Games, of course, are now sold out. How hard were students working to get in to Assembly Hall three years ago?
Suggested Links
"Oh, not hard, not hard at all. Not hard at all," said junior Scott Romaniuk.
This season, 12,000 IU students vie for 7,800 seats. The competition to see a game can be almost as intense as the game itself.
There is another price of success. Athletic director Glass says "modest" ticket price increases are in the works.

You may recall that Chris Yost was one of the only writers to actually do anything with the fear part of Fear Itself in his three-part Fear Itself: Spider-Man series, and he did it excellently. So it's with a sense of gratitude that we can look at the credits of Battle Scars #1 and see that, while the story is credited to Matt Fraction and Cullen Bunn as well, Yost is the one handling the scripting. That means it's actually pretty decent.
Yost once again brings that palpable sense of people being driven mad by a fear aura to war-torn Afghanistan, as we see Army Ranger Sgt. Marcus Johnson and his platoon being caught in a crazy firefight when the Taliban, his fellow soldiers and everyone else involved have their desperate terror cranked up to a zillion, resulting in a mad scramble to survive. Once it calms down, though, Johnson gets the call to go home, because it seems his mother was targeted for a kill in the middle of the Fear Itself madness, and he has to go find out why.
Turns out they were just trying to draw him back home so they could kill him. The regular Russian hit squad is no good against the skills of a Ranger, but the photo-reflexes of Taskmaster are a different story. Johnson has no idea why he's being targeted, but both the bad guys and Captain America seem to know there's something special about him. We, the readers, have no idea what that may be just yet, but Yost is good enough to make us curious as to just where this is leading.
Battle Scars #1 is the first chapter in a 6-issue miniseries that Marvel has been touting since Comic-Con as a major development spinning out of Fear Itself. So far, it's pretty much a point-of-view piece from a rank and file soldier in the midst of the insanity of the Marvel Universe. Interesting, but nothing particularly captivating just yet. The art from Scot Eaton is decent, although the Taskmaster splash page looks a little off – where is that sword scabbard attached, exactly?
Anyway, Marvel's promising that Marcus Johnson is going to be a hugely important character as the mystery around him unfolds, and Yost has certainly earned enough credit to be allowed to unfold it the way he'd like. Battle Scars #1 isn't anything stunning, but it's just the first chapter in a larger story, and it does manage to remind us a bit about what Fear Itself was actually supposed to be, but failed to become.

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
I have taken ibuprofen for several years. There have been times that I've taken 800 mg 3 or 4 times a day. Up until last week I was taking 800 mg in the morning and in the evening but now just take it in the evening. I went down to the lower dosage but I'm having chills and a low fever plus sick at my stomach I don't know how to get off the medicine completely and what to do for my pain.
When I go off the medicine I get dizzy, ringing in my ears, light headed and sick.
I take the medicine for pain, I have no other symptoms

Charleston Harbor Dredging Funds in President's Budget
The President's FY 2014 Budget once again includes funds to continue Charleston's Post-45 harbor deepening project.
This project was designated last year by the Administration as one of its priority infrastructure projects. The recently released fiscal year 2014 budget includes a $1.165-million allocation to continue the considerable progress on the project's feasibility study, now at its midpoint.
With 45 feet of depth at mean low water, Charleston currently has the deepest channels in the region and can handle ships drafting up to 48 feet on high tide. Deepening Charleston Harbor to 50 feet will open the port to handling larger post-Panamax container ships 24 hours a day.
"We are grateful to the Administration for including Charleston's project in the budget for a second year in a row, as well as their commitment of resources to expeditiously advance our project," said Bill Stern, chairman of the South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA) Board of Directors. "This funding means that Charleston's study can proceed to completion with absolutely zero funding restraints, as both the federal and the port's contributions have been fully committed at this point."
The feasibility study is cost-shared 50/50 between the federal government and the SCPA, which committed to accelerate its half of the study funds as needed to continue advancing the project. A national measure to modernize U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Civil Works projects targets completion of the feasibility study and necessary reviews by September 2015 at a cost of $13 million or less. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement is scheduled to be released next year.
The President's Budget also included $14.825 million for maintenance dredging in Charleston Harbor.

Police: Man helps victim look for wallet then robs him at gunpoint
SEATTLE -- A man who at first appeared to be a Good Samaritan, helping a victim look for his missing wallet, was actually a Bad Samaritan in disguise, pretending to find the victim's wallet only to rob him at gunpoint, according to the Seattle Police Department.
According to the police report for the incident, the victim got off the bus in the 4900 block of Beacon Avenue South shortly after 10 p.m. last Monday and started walking home. Along the way, the victim dropped his wallet and stopped to look for it.
A passerby stopped to help the victim search and eventually called out to the victim that he had found his wallet, according to the report.
But when the victim walked over to the man to retrieve his wallet, the man reportedly pulled a gun on him and demanded he hand over everything.
According to the report, the victim gave the man his cellphone and backpack, and the man ran off.
The robber was described as a black man in his late teens to early 20s, approximately 5-feet-10-inches to 5-feet-11-inches tall and slim with dreadlocks. At the time of the robbery, he was wearing a hat, dark green camouflage jacket and yellow boots.
The victim did not believe the robber had actually found his wallet.

J.G. Watt
The Chilean mill or trapiche is still used in small-scale mining in Chile, Bolivia, Peru, and Argentina. It is a form of edge-runner mill with from one to four heavy wheels, or mullers, running in a circular U-shaped trough. The ore, which is generally hand-shovelled into the water-filled trough, is crushed by the weight of the revolving wheels. The bottom of the trough is protected by a steel-wearing ring or soleplate. Scrapers fixed behind each roller lift the ground ore off the soleplate and keep it in suspension. The resulting slurry exits the mill through a series of perimeter screens near the top of the trough. The mesh size, height above the soleplate, and length of the overflow screens determine the final grind size and daily throughput. It seems that the Chilean mill is a direct descendent of early Roman olive mills which were rotated by hand or animal traction. The ancient Chinese independently developed an identical machine, called shih nien, for grinding grain.
In the trapiche used today, a short horizontal axle connects the wheel(s) to a central vertical shaft that has mounted on it a bevelled crown gear driven by a pinion. A series of belt-driven pulleys connected to a motor via a jackshaft drive the horizontal main shaft on which the pinion is mounted. While electric motors are most common, diesel and gasoline motors are also used. Motors are generally in the range of 5 to 25 hp. For ease of maintenance, the drive mechanism is normally mounted above the circular trough.
In Chile, rollers and troughs were originally made of carved rock. Near Copiapó, there is an abandoned quarry where semi-completed rollers and bowls can be seen. Nowadays, old railway wagon wheels are the usual base framework for the runners; grinding balls, worn mill liners, or other suitable scrap iron are cemented in to attain the desired weight. The circular troughs are of welded steel plate or poured concrete.
The name 'Chilean mill' probably reflects its widespread use in Chile from where it was introduced into neighbouring countries, rather than any claim to having originated there. There was once a town called Chilean Mill near Prescott, Arizona. Today, this is little more than a geographical spot as the trapiche from there is now in a museum in Jerome, Arizona. Likewise, the hamlet of Trapiche, about 85 kilometres north of La Serena, Chile, no longer depends on mining and no Chilean mills are in use there. The townspeople now cultivate carnations for the local and export market.
While it is not known when the trapiche was first used for crushing and grinding rock, it is probable that this use started in Spanish America. Agricola, in De Re Metallica, published in 1556, makes no mention of trapiches or similar machines for grinding ore. His description of milling devices is limited to several varieties of wind, water, human, or animal-driven mills with either one or two horizontally revolving millstones. The use of the trapiche in Chile is documented to at least 1732, and in 1803, there were 130 being used for grinding gold ore there. They have been used in Mexico and the United States since at least as early as 1882. They were also used in the Nova Scotia gold fields during the early 1860s and in Australia at the Walhalla gold field in the mid-to-late 1860s.
Taggart (1927) gives a description of the Chilean mills that were common in plants in the United States in the early 20th century. The Frasers & Chalmers Company and the Bonnot Company both manufactured Chilean mills. Up until the early 1980s, Chilean mills were being used in two copper smelters in Arizona for grinding clay to make plugs for converters and reverbs. These machines were similar to the pan mill, used in English clay-brick factories, in that the pan or trough was rotated, causing the fixed wheels to turn.
The trapiche was the primary grinding machine in the American southwest copper industry during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, but was displaced by the widespread introduction of tube and ball mills. In Chile, it has been, and still is on a somewhat smaller scale, the main grinding machine at hundreds of small mines. According to the mayor of Andacollo, Chile, at mid-2006 there were nine milling plants operating in the area, with a total of 49 trapiches, down from the 55 plants with 295 trapiches working in 1970.
Increased copper prices spurred the development of the trapiche as a high-capacity (20 to 40 tonnes per day) primary grinding unit in copper milling. Grind fineness is sacrificed, however, with 80 per cent passing the equivalent of 65 mesh Tyler (212 microns) being the normal target. This is achieved with heavier wheels, each weighing between 2,500 and 3,000 kilograms, and by increasing the velocity of rotation to about 18 rpm. The resulting slurry discharges via perimeter screens to the flotation circuit. The mesh and the height of the screens above the soleplate control the grind fineness. Discharge height is normally four to five inches above the soleplate. The approximately 30 per cent solids pulp density required and the higher capacity (20 to 30 kilograms per minute) make these units suitable for a conveyor belt feed system.
To further increase plant throughput, trapiches were put to use as secondary grinding machines. These were either in open circuit, treating the discharge from a primary grinding trapiche, or in closed circuit, with some type of hydraulic classifier. The characteristics of the regrind trapiche are similar to those of the grinding trapiche although with a steeper trough angle and a slower wheel velocity of around 14 rpm.
In the amalgamating trapiche, copper plates covered with mercury are suspended from the rim of the trough to hang in the slurry and recover the liberated gold particles through amalgamation. As well, free mercury is dispersed around the bottom of the trough to pick up additional gold from the slurry, increasing the total recovery.
Grinds of about 80 per cent passing 150-mesh Tyler (100 microns) are the norm, with roller weights of 1,000 to 1,500 kilograms and velocities of 11 to 13 rpm. Throughputs are around five to six tonnes per day per mill. Heavier wheels would cause disintegration of the free mercury on the bottom of the trough and the resulting extra fine globules would escape via the overflow discharge screen. Higher rotational velocities would cause centrifuging of the slurry, limiting exposure of the suspended gold particles to the copper plates. Trough angles of around 45 degrees or more are the norm for amalgamating trapiches. The overflow discharge screens are normally 10 to 13 inches above the soleplate. Slurry densities of around 16%, equivalent to a feed rate of around 31/2 kilograms per minute, are aimed for. Two shovellers can easily keep a bank of five or six trapiches operating continuously. The trapiche is periodically stopped and amalgam in the bottom of the trough is manually recovered for retorting. Today, the landscape of northern Chile is dotted with hundreds of old tailings piles, evidence of past trapiche operations. These are often contaminated with mercury.

There are a lot of things residents of the neighborhoods River Wilderness and Rivé Isle could boast about — beautiful houses in a natural setting, an 18-hole golf course, a clubhouse, tennis courts.
But the one thing that sets the 1,400-acre, 715-home, gated development apart from all the rest, residents say, is its sense of community.
"People were waving when we came in. I knew this is where I wanted to live," said Barbara Kappauf, a New Jersey native and six-year resident.
"About 55 percent of the community is retired or semiretired. Forty-five percent are still working," said Don Kappauf, Barbara's husband.
"There is a younger group of people moving in as the economy drives down prices. People are looking for a safe place to raise children," he added.
Bill Vernon, general partner of Rivé Isle Associates, said he bought the development, which at the time had 400 to 500 houses, in 1996. Although there were building lots left in the main development, Vernon had his eye on the land in the back, the land on the Manatee River.
"It's so rare to find a truly unique piece of land on the Manatee River. I knew there was something we could do with it," he said.
"The property had no value. It was unbuildable because it was in a flood plain."
But Vernon was not to be deterred. It took him five years to get all the permits — including final approval from the governor — but he did it and there are now 12 luxury waterfront homes in Rivé Isle Golf & Nautical Estates, which, with dredging, was raised out of the flood plain.
Of the 178 lots in Rivé Isle, 150 are waterfront — and the neighborhood has direct access to the Gulf of Mexico, 15 miles to the west by way of the Manatee River.
"It's one of the few places you can have a boat in your back yard," Vernon said.
Water is all around River Wilderness and Rivé Isle. Between the two neighborhoods, there are 400 acres of rehydrated wetlands.
"The wetlands rejuvenation was a big factor in getting the project approved," Vernon said.
Homes in the development range from $200,000 to the millions. Homeowners pay an annual homeowners association fee of $1,035. Golf memberships are available for initiation fees starting at $1,000 and going to about $20,000.
Buyers are starting to come back, Vernon said, but the market has changed what those buyers want.
They want to buy a house that is already built rather than to buy a lot and have a house custom-built, he said. As a result, he has four spec homes — one for $800,000 — under construction.
Buyers also are looking for smaller homes, 3,500 square feet instead of 5,000 square feet.
"The key amenity buyers are looking for today — and will be for some time — is price."
Patti Ewald is a freelance writer in Gulfport. She can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Barbara and Don Kappauf
Their home: 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 3,600 square feet. The house is on a corner lot and looks over one of the many small lakes in the development.
When they bought: They purchased their lakeside lot in 2004 and designed the home to mimic places they have stayed in Hawaii where they looked through the lobby out across the water.
Current value (from Zillow.com): $504,500.
Why they love it: "The golf course we have is a hidden jewel. There is a remodeled clubhouse, an athletic building and tennis courses. I can go down to Rivé Isle and catch 30-inch snook," Don Kappauf said. "There's nothing around here people don't do for one another." Added Barbara: "I love my home but I love the community. It's nice, casual and laid back but you can be busy 24/7 if you want. There are things like book clubs and mah-jongg groups." Another appealing aspect of the neighborhood is a common refrain among real estate professionals: location. "We are 45 minutes from anything you want to do," Barbara Kappauf said.

LAND O'LAKES — Pasco schools superintendent Heather Fiorentino has dumped the man who spearheaded the district's part of the Penny for Pasco campaign and then oversaw the construction of 15 new schools with that sales tax revenue.
"At about 5 p.m. Monday, the superintendent called me in and said, 'I'm not going to reappoint you,' " said Ray Gadd, a 28-year district veteran who has served as assistant superintendent for support services since 2005. "No explanation or anything. She just said, 'I'm going to go a different direction.' That's all I know."
Fiorentino did not return calls Tuesday for comment.
Her decision did not sit well with several Pasco School Board members, who will consider Fiorentino's administrative reappointments next week.
"I've been dumbfounded by several of the superintendent's actions recently, but none more than this one," said board vice chairman Allen Altman, who worked closely with Gadd during the Penny for Pasco campaign. "Ray is the most intelligent, dedicated and widely respected person in the district office. For him not to be reappointed by her after 28 years of dedicated service is just a blow."
Board member Kathryn Starkey, who has worked with Gadd on land development issues, said she was disappointed.
"We said we were going to save jobs, and his is an important one. He's a valuable asset to the school district," Starkey said. "There's no one else who can do the job with the competency that he has."
Board member Joanne Hurley called the dismissal "unfortunate for a number of reasons."
She cited Gadd's involvement in the sales tax campaign, as well as his work in securing land for future construction and his participation in many community activities.
"I think we are losing a person who could do any job in the school system," Hurley said. "If the superintendent had talked to me, I would have certainly discouraged her."
But with the decision seemingly settled, there's little the School Board can do to keep Gadd after his contract expires at the end of June.
As board chairman Frank Parker said, though Gadd has done a good job, Fiorentino "is the one that runs that end of the operation. That's her decision."
The state has seen several court challenges to a superintendent's personnel powers over the years, said Wayne Blanton, executive director of the Florida School Boards Association.
"The bottom line is, the superintendent has jurisdiction over all personnel. The board sets policy, and the superintendent administers," he said.
That doesn't leave the board with no options. It does control the district's purse strings, and as such can decide not to fund a position that the superintendent recommends, for instance.
It simply can't choose who sits in each chair, unless it can demonstrate legal cause, something Blanton said is difficult to do.
"I don't know that the School Board has anything they can fight for," Gadd said. "I'm just tickled to count them among my friends."
Gadd, 52, said he wasn't surprised by Fiorentino's move. He moved up the ranks under superintendent John Long, and they both supported Chuck Rushe, Fiorentino's opponent in 2004. Gadd has been seen as a possible challenger for the district's top job.
"I think it's a political decision, and I'm in a political position," he said.
Other members of the community have rallied behind Gadd.
"He's a vital member of the business community as well as the education community," said Stu Gibbons, president of Connerton. "I am confident, with Ray's dedication to the community, he'll be back and involved in improving the quality of life here. But I hate to see him leaving that position."
Gary Bracken, former chairman of the Penny for Pasco Oversight Committee, blasted Fiorentino's move as not in the community's best interest.
"Given Ray's abilities, it's a poor decision for the people of Pasco County and their faith in the schools' responsible stewardship of resources for building," Bracken said. "The very fact that the decision has been made has damaged the relationship with the superintendent and the school district in general for the people who have enjoyed the privilege of working with Ray."

'TWO jirgas decide fate of four girls' — this headline in yesterday's edition of the paper masks a universe of suffering and pain. Variations of it are printed with disturbing frequency in other newspapers too. In one of the cases reported yesterday and pertaining to the Sukkur/Shikarpur area in interior Sindh, a man accused of having had illicit relations with the wife (subsequently killed) of another man was ordered by a tribal court to hand over his two sisters and a niece to the aggrieved family under the 'sang chatti' custom (also known as swara or vani). Currently underage, the girls are to be handed over once they reach puberty. In the second case, a jirga in Khairpur district settled a 'free-will marriage' dispute by ordering a 13-year-old girl to be immediately handed over in marriage to a 50-year-old man. The police have been directed to register cases and make arrests.
The victims can technically be protected by more than one law including child protection laws and the Prevention of Anti-Women Practices Act 2011, which specifically lays out punishments for giving females in marriage to settle disputes. Jirgas themselves have been actively discouraged or banned, as in Sindh. Yet the detestable practice remains as entrenched as ever. This is partly because while there is much talk of the law in urban areas, it is not so easy to implement these in the dark hinterlands where state justice is elusive. What is needed is effective and prohibitive implementation. In the two cases, the names of the men convening the jirgas are known. They must be pursued, and made to face justice. Until the majority of men in the country are aware that the abuse of women is criminalised and that violators will face the full force of the law little real change will be forthcoming.

SCHNOOR, Lucile and Dorothy
Anchor Bay Voice
Two members of the New Baltimore Schnoor family died last week. Mrs. Grant S. Schnoor (Lucile) Schnoor died on Wednesday in her home on Main Street after a brief illness. She was 63. Miss Dorothy Schnoor, 76, Lucille's sister-in-law and owner of the Wm. Baker Co. store in New Baltimore, died on Thursday at Mt. Clemens General Hospital where she had been a patient several weeks.
Mrs. Grant Schnoor was born in Marine City and had been a resident of New Baltimore for 43 years. She had been a postal clerk in New Baltimore for 15 years prior to her retirement in 1970.
Services were held on Saturday at the Christie Memorial Chapel Funeral Home with the Rev. Norman R. Fielder of the First Congregational Church officiating. Burial was Oakwood Cemetery.
She is survived by her husband; two daughters, Mrs. E.J. (Sally) Friday, of Miami, Fla., and Mrs. Herbert (Dorothy) Melkert, of New Baltimore; a son, Richard G. Schnoor, of Fair Haven; four sisters, Mrs. Anetta Hillis, of St Clair, Mrs. Geraldine Ebert, of Roseville, Mrs. Clara Paul, of Detroit, and Mrs. Irene Clark, of Thamesville, Ont., and three grandchildren. Two brothers, Bernard and Edward Benson are deceased.
Dorothy Schnoor, born in New Baltimore was a descendent of one of the area's oldest families. Her grandfather, Henry Christian Schnoor, was an early settler; her father, Henry Christian Schnoor, Jr., was on the New Baltimore school board 50 years, and was active in civic affairs when New Baltimore was still a village. Another son [of HCS, Sr.] opened a general store in Fair Haven where the Village Tavern stands now. Realtor Karl Schnoor, his son [of Bernard] died at the age of 84 last year.
The landmark store on Washington at Main Street was acquired by William Baker more than 100 years ago. The passing of time brought changes in the makeup of the store and its ownership. William Baker's daughter Edna married Henry Christian Schnoor, Jr. She and her sister Irene inherited the store.
Dorothy was Edna Baker Schnoor's oldest child, and she acquired her mother's interest. In the beginning the store handled general merchandise, the types that fitted the times -- grain and items that dealt mostly with farming. There was a small frame warehouse at the rear of the store that also housed a team of horses. There were less than a dozen stores up and down Washington Street at the time.
Later, about 50 years ago, the store was partitioned in half with one half for a drugstore. Ovry Bates made his start in New Baltimore there. Even at that time clothing and shoes were still a sideline for the Wm. Baker Co. store. It had become more of a grocery store.
A year after Irene Baker (Dorothy's aunt) died on November 17, 1956. Dorothy, as sole owner, closed out the groceries and began specializing in women's wear. She began making frequent trips to New York, Chicago and Detroit to keep current with the latest fashions.
The two large homes on Green and Main also figured in both the Baker and Schnoor families. The original Henry Schnoor, who was in the lumbering business and became a landowner, originally owned the home on Green Street. When he and his family moved into the mansion on Main Street, it became the Baker home.
Dorothy was born in the "big brick" on Green Street and returned there later to spend most of her lifetime with her Aunt Irene in the venerable showplace.
Dorothy had worked for the Maccabee's Insurance Co. in Port Huron* for a short period of time. During one period, when New Baltimore was without its own newspaper, she served as the correspondent in this area for a paper published in Algonac. She later wrote a column for the local paper.
In 1929 and 1930, she was treasurer of the village -- one of the first women in Michigan to be elected to public office. She was succeeded by Bill Baker, now 90, her uncle, in 1931. New Baltimore became a city shortly thereafter.
Through her brother, Chuck, a war veteran, Dorothy became a member of AmVets Post 52. But she was not much of a joiner. Like her sister-in-law, Lucille, she supported the Crippled Children's Fund. She also supported the Cancer Society and all of the local churches.
But her personal, private charities never became public knowledge. When local folks were down on their luck, she and Irene saw to it that the children got food. Dorothy outfitted the incoming residents when Anchor Bay South, a home for slightly handicapped adult women in New Baltimore, opened.
Rev. Fielder, who officiated at her service in the Gendernalik Funeral Home on Monday night said, "She did so many things quietly to help others? She had a quiet dignity that commanded respect of all those who knew her."
Miss Schnoor served on the commission that drew up a new charter for the City of New Baltimore in recent years.
She graduated from Hatheway Institute, and was a member of the girls championship state basketball team, a year that New Baltimore schools made history. She was a lifetime supporter of better education for the community.
She Was a notary public for a long period of years. She was also the confidante of many who came to her store with their woes. But she didn't repeat the stories.
On the lighter side, she and Irene liked to "chase fires." It was in an era when matters of this kind were important.
Dorothy is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Margaret (Betty) Thomason, of Wyandotte, and Mrs. A. B. Ogle, of Detroit; three brothers, Roland of Mallorca, Spain, and Charles W. and Grant S. of New Baltimore, three nieces, and three nephews.
Burial was in the family plot in Oakwood Cemetery.

text: After the last race, I was taking my nephews around the block for some joy rides and I all but lost the brakes... I can still stop the truck, but its a FAR and hard pedal. Could be the MC, its still got fluid in it so I don't suspect a bad line or leak, but I thought I replaced the MC a couple years ago when I put the truck together.... but I might not have I was also suspecting maybe I lost the booster, cause I know when you do it becomes VERY hard to hit the woh pedal when you loose the boost. So that got me wondering how you test the booster? Just pull a vacuum on it with a gauge and see if it leaks down? Or is there another (better) way? Hmm, as I was typing here I wonder if maybe its the rear brakes.... They never really worked, I've never messed with them... but I would think the front brakes still would work just fine. Thoughts, suggestions, anyone want to volunteer to come over and wash the truck so I can work on it Opps, almost made the newbie mistake... Scout II, 304, 727 auto, I think the chassis was a '74 IIRC, the brake assembly was off my shelf.

Johannesburg - The Constitutional Court will rule on Thursday on whether an arbitral award should be enforced on a client who refuses to pay after committing to a contractual agreement.
Property developer Cool Ideas brought an application for leave to appeal against an order of the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA).
In 2006, Cool Ideas entered into a building contract with Anne Hubbard.
The property developer enlisted the services of Velvori Construction CC, a building construction company which was registered as a home builder in terms of section 10 of the Housing Consumers Protection Measures Act (Housing Act).
Work on the buildings was practically completed in October 2008 when Hubbard took issue with the quality of the work and refused to make the final payment.
She instituted arbitration proceedings in terms of the building contract, claiming the cost of remedial works.
Hubbard's claims were dismissed by the arbitrator following Cool Ideas' defence and counter-claim for the balance of the contract price.
Hubbard then failed to comply with the arbitral award.
Cool Ideas approached the High Court in Johannesburg for an order enforcing the arbitral award.
Hubbard opposed the application, contending that Cool Ideas was not registered as a home builder in terms of the Housing Act.
Subsequent to Hubbard's contention, Cool Ideas registered as a home builder and argued that in any event at the time of executing the building works, it had done so in co-operation with Velvori Construction, which was a registered home builder.
The High Court then granted the application and made the arbitral award an order of the court.
Hubbard then approached the SCA, which upheld her appeal, stating that the purpose of the Housing Act was to protect consumers.
Both Cool Ideas and Velvori Construction were required to be registered before taking on the building project.
The SCA also held that enforcing the arbitral award would disregard what is clearly prohibited in law.
"The dissenting judgment argued that Cool Ideas did not intentionally fail to register as a home builder and that not enforcing the award would be unjust," the court said.
This led to the application to the Constitutional Court.
Hubbard argued that leave to appeal should be refused because the constitutional issues were being argued for the first time in the Constitutional Court, which was prejudicial.
She further argued that a court's enforcement of this arbitral award would be problematic because, if Cool Ideas were to receive payment of the award, this would constitute a criminal offence in terms of the Housing Act.

Berto looked blackanese, guerrero looked mexinese. Wtf is your point? Bertos eye got raked, and it swoll up, big fukn deal he fought through it. It was a back and forth, give and take fight by and large, one in which guerrero outworked berto and came out on top.
Lettuce b reality, all during the fight everyobody was wondering if guerrero would be able to take all the hard uppercuts that were spinning his head 360 degrees, which were happening all the time.
People ****ting on bertos performance last night are retarded. Obviously he wasnt tactically that good, closer to terrible, but he was a warrior who kept fighting. You, on the other hand, are just a keyboard warrior.
Im not in denial, i didnt care who won and was rooting for both. I am just not afraid to call a spade a spade when everybody likes to follow the crowds opinion.

text: Genair da Silva and Adam Schindler are set to return to action against one another at Bellator Fighting Championships 52. Marcio "Cromado" Barbosa, leader of Renovacao Fight Team and trainer of "Junior PQD" da Silva, revealed news of the matchup to Sherdog.com on Monday. The bout is the first known contest targeted for Bellator 52, which takes place Oct. 1 at L'Auberge du Lac Casino and Resort in Lake Charles, La. Both men last competed June 25 at Bellator 46, where da Silva (Pictured) dropped a split decision to countryman and eventual runner-up Marlon Sandro, and Schindler suffered a brutal knockout at the hands of Ronnie Mann. Prior to losing his North American debut, da Silva had won five in a row with four finishes; Schindler's defeat snapped a six-fight winning streak, during which the Texan had his hand raised in the cages of Bellator and Strikeforce. Bellator 52 will mark the promotion's second consecutive event with a Renovacao Fight Team representative. One week prior, Cromado will travel with pupil Luis "Betao" Nogueira to Ohio for Bellator 51, where Betao is slated to meet Ed West in the opening round of Bellator's fifth-season bantamweight tourney. Colin Foster contributed to this report.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
This is a very tricky situation. Let's start with the definition of a charitable remainder trust for posterity and work from there (bolding mine):
An arrangement in which property or money is donated to a charity, but the donor (called the grantor) continues to use the property and/or receive income from it while living. The beneficiaries receive the income and the charity receives the principal after a specified period of time. The grantor avoids any capital gains tax on the donated assets, and also gets an income tax deduction for the fair market value of the remainder interest that the trust earned. In addition, the asset is removed from the estate, reducing subsequent estate taxes. While the contribution is irrevocable, the grantor may have some control over the way the assets are invested, and may even switch from one charity to another (as long as it's still a qualified charitable organization). CRTs come in three types: charitable remainder annuity trust (which pays a fixed dollar amount annually), a charitable remainder unitrust (which pays a fixed percentage of the trust's value annually), and a charitable pooled income fund (which is set up by the charity, enabling many donors to contribute).
Trying to undo a charitable remainder trust, if the contribution were to actually be revocable (see above), would involve amending prior year returns, owing taxes, interest, and penalties, and would otherwise be a nightmare from a forms preparation standpoint. You would have to go back to the year of creation for the trust and undo any charitable deduction, recognize gains on appreciated assets transferred to the trust in its initial year and sold, plus the trust earnings, and all despite these investments later decline in value (your losses wouldn't show up until your later years' returns, as though you personally owned everything all along).
Within the trust, you can manage the investments, yes (so going with a fixed annuity or bonds is up to you, and again, see above).
I would like to suggest that there are legal ramifications for which you need to consult an attorney. You can try this JustAnswers forum, but I of course recommend you turn to your own personal (local) legal, investment, and tax counsel for advice regarding your specific situation (ie, from people who can review trust documents, tax returns, investment options, etc.).
I believe you said that you put $200K in the trust and the rest to real estate (not sure if the real estate was in trust too). You would have an inherited basis in assets received from the estate that would be the starting point of your tax calculation. From there, the remainder interest of the amount you put in trust would amount to a charitable contribution (based on actuarial tables among other things), and the income from the trust that flows through to you each year thereafter (the character of which is defined via the historical earnings of the trust, namely, ordinary income/capital gains/etc.) would have been recognized.
You probably have life insurance as a hedge against your potential early death (in which the trust assets go to charity), noting that your life insurance proceeds generally won't be subject to estate/income tax, thus creating a so-called "tax free" inheritance for your grandchildren. Aside from you having to pay the ultimate price (I don't suggest death), you need the income to live on most likely and the money may need to go to you instead of your (grand)children. For this purpose, I believe your CPA looked to tie your assets up in charity (ie, you can't touch all / some of the principal having been donated to charity, get a tax deduction and all the income to sustain you for retirement purposes so you don't spend it all so to speak, and your life insurance beneficiaries are taken care of in the event of your early and untimely death... not too bad an idea up front perhaps again, that trust... again, sorry about the investment performance).
Thank you for your question.

The Keegan Theatre Presents AN IRISH CAROL, Now thru 12/31
After playing in 2011 to sold-out audiences and rave reviews, The Keegan Theatre presents the return of An Irish Carol, written by Dublin native and Keegan company member Matthew J. Keenan. In what has become a Keegan holiday tradition, An Irish Carol runs tonight, December 14- 31, 2012 at the Church Street Theater.
Set in a modern Dublin pub, An Irish Carol is an homage to Dickens' classic — told as only the Irish can. The play, both comic and touching, follows one evening in the life of David, a wealthy pub owner who has lost touch with his own humanity in the interest of self-protection and material success. But on this Christmas Eve — challenged by a voice from the past, provoked by those in this present, and faced with the reality of lonely future – David's life may change forever. An Irish Carol is a modern fable, told with the biting humor and incisive candor of its Irish playwright.
"It is such an honor to bring this lovely nugget of a play back to our audience, with the entire original cast from last season's production. They all have such a passion for the piece and we have been waiting all year for Keegan's 2nd annual holiday show. We hope to keep the tradition going for years to come, as the play speaks to everything Keegan is about."
An Irish Carol features Jon Townson, David Jourdan, Susan Marie Rhea , Josh Sticklin, Timothy Lynch, Mick Tinder, Mike Kozemchak and Kevin Adams.
The Keegan Theatre, in its 16th season in Washington DC, is the resident company at Church Street Theater in Dupont Circle.
Church Street Theater is located at 1742 Church Street, NW Washington, DC. An Irish Carol by Matthew J. Keenan runs Saturday, December 15, 2012- 8:00pm tonight, December 14- December 31, 2012 Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings at 8:00pm and Sunday matinees at 3:00pm. Runtime: 1:20; no intermission. Appropriate for audiences 16 and older. Tickets are $35 - General admission/$30-students and seniors. Group rates available. Call 703-892-0202, email email@example.com or visit www.keegantheatre.com.

Mario Golf got away with a comparatively lighter roster thanks to its nature as an individual sport -- for tennis, though, Camelot had to ensure that each Mushroom Kingdom character had a natural partner available for two-on-two doubles matches. Some pairings were easy -- like putting Mario and Luigi together as a brother duo. But other mascots, like Wario, had no natural counterpart.
Enter Waluigi. Camelot created the character from scratch to serve the specific purpose of playing as Wario's doubles partner, and he took on a life of his own after that -- becoming a regular in every Mario spin-off series afterward. The developers also dove back into the history of the franchise to unearth long-forgotten faces, too, like Princess Daisy and Birdo. Both of them now make appearances in just about every Mario sports and karting game released, but prior to Mario Tennis neither had been seen for years. Daisy had been dormant for nearly a decade, while Birdo had been nothing more than a cameo character in titles like Super Mario RPG.
All of these characters being brought to life here, and being made playable for the first time, helped make Mario Tennis the most universe-rich and character-defining installment in the greater Mario series of the N64 era. So if you've ever played as Waluigi, Birdo or Princess Daisy since, you've got Camelot to thank.
Now, that's a whole lot of positive praise for this game. All of it deserved, but let's not wrap up before we address one significant downfall of this particular download -- Mario Tennis on the N64 was excellent, but the same game here on the Virtual Console is diminished a bit. The connectivity isn't here.
A big boost to the longevity and replay value of Mario Tennis' original release came when the Game Boy Color edition of Mario Tennis arrived around half a year later, and brought with it support for the little-used N64 Transfer Pak. The peripheral allowed you to plug Game Boy cartridges into the back of Nintendo 64 controllers, and move data back and forth between games. For Mario Tennis, it was character-swapping. You could play through the RPG experience of Mario Tennis GBC, building up a character's stats and abilities, and then move that upgraded tennis pro to the console version to tear up the court with 3D polygons instead of 2D sprites. Since that connection can't be made with this Virtual Console version, you won't ever be able to access the final four unlockable characters here.
And, what's worse, you'll miss out on several unlockable courts too -- even if you didn't have an interest in beefing up your players' stats, you still probably would have appreciated the greater variety of playing surfaces the Transfer Pak connectivity opened up. They're lost to the ages too. The re-release of Mario Golf on the Virtual Console also had this issue, and it would have been great if Nintendo had somehow addressed it -- just unlocking the extra content by default, maybe. But, no. No solution. So we're left with a lesser edition of a great game, thanks to the limitations of VC emulation and the Big N's unwillingness to find a fix.
Mario Tennis remains a sensational sports experience that is just as pick-up-and-playable today as it was 10 years ago, as its accessible control and gameplay balance is still superb. It's also an intriguing piece of history for fans of the greater Mario franchise, since it introduced the new character of Waluigi and brought others, like Daisy and Birdo, back from obscurity -- and influenced all future spin-offs in the series as a result. This Virtual Console version isn't as fully-featured as the original N64 cartridge thanks to the missing Transfer Pak feature, meaning Wii players will be forced to miss out on some extra characters and courses -- but even knocked down a peg by that one problem, this is still a VC release that's well worth your Wii Points.

I was wondering if someone could help me, The code below works perfectly when run on an internal server, but when I put it on a server on the DMZ, the "reset password" section below doesn't work (everything else does). Port 389 is open in our firewall and I have set anonymous access for this page to a admin account. Active Directory is even installed on the server. Do you have any suggestions? If I write out objUser.IsAccountLocked, it writes "False" so the "getObject" seems to work, it just will not reset the password for me (or set "User must change password at next logon"). It also writes out the correct stnDN. Thanks! Here is the code:
' AD Lookup based on first and last name
Set objConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set objCommand = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
objConnection.Provider = "ADsDSOObject"
objConnection.Open "Active Directory Provider"
Set objCommand.ActiveConnection = objConnection
objCommand.CommandText = _
"SELECT distinguishedName FROM 'LDAP://dc=mydomain,dc=com' WHERE objectCategory='user' " & _

San Jose, CA, United States, 2008/10/21 - Junobe, Inc. today announced an iPhone application, SMSBook, that provides an alternative to the internet when looking for information while on the move - Junobe.com.
Most customers dont realize that an amazing amount of information is accessible from services via text messaging (or SMS). iPhone users can conveniently find a service provider through SMSBooks directory, send a single text message and get the information they need within seconds. No more searching through screen after screen on tiny browser windows.
SMSBook includes a searchable directory of service providers classified under categories such as Mobile Search, Chat, Travel, Entertainment etc. Users can thumb through the different commands each service supports (examples are included), view text rate information, or navigate to the service providers main web page or mobile page (where available). The application directly links to the iPhone text messenger and inserts the short code number of the selected service provider when sending a message.
The service provider directory will be frequently updated with new information. SMSBook can automatically check for and download directory updates to the iPhone handset on a programmable schedule (daily, weekly or monthly).
SMSBook benefits mobile customers as well as SMS based service providers, said Dr. Jae Kim, Co-Founder and CTO. Customers will never need to remember a short code number again or miss out on a cool new service.
SMSBook is available on the iPhone App Store and is a free application. It can be also used as a handy reference by iPod touch users. SMSBook will be available for Android based phones later this year.

So maybe you have some time on your hands. Maybe not so much. Whatever the case, you want to help out, perhaps make a difference in the life of a child or a neighborhood school.
The welcome mat is out — whether it be working one-on-one with a reluctant reader, photocopying papers for a team of teachers, chaperoning a field trip, serving on the school advisory council, helping train an athlete to compete in the Special Olympics or simply recycling your newspapers.
Financial support and other gifts are another way to help — whether it be giving a monetary donation to the Pasco Education Foundation that funds student and teacher scholarships or offering up that clarinet that's been sitting idle for a while.
And even if you don't have money or time during the school day, just showing up to support the team at a Friday night football game or attending a school concert, drama or art show has its own merit. It shows you care.
Whatever your time frame or age, there's likely room for you. You can call your local school to see how you can help. Or check out the following opportunities:
• RSVP, the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, provides meaningful opportunities for people 55 and older to participate in the schools and the community through volunteer service.
