Legal Advisor role of our law firm in Italy (Milan, Bologna, Padova) regards how, under different State laws, the ship's flag determines the source of law.

Civil cases, on the other hand, involve individuals and organizations seeking to resolve legal disputes. In a criminal case the state, through a prosecutor, initiates the suit, while in a civil case the victim brings the suit. Persons convicted of a crime may be incarcerated, fined, or both. However, persons found liable in a civil case may only have to give up property or pay money, but are not incarcerated. A "crime" is any act or omission (of an act) in violation of a public law forbidding or commanding it. Though there are some common law crimes, most crimes in the worldwide different laws are established by local, state, and federal governments.

The symptoms for this:
1.extremely painful burning sensation, like a 2 or 3d degree sunburn
2. over most/all of my body
3. skin hot & dry & dark red during the episodes only
Any ideas on what it could be?
I did tell my doctor about it during one of my visits. And I emailed her over the holiday about the dark red color of my skin. She was not real sure what to make of it either.

Diabetic neuropathy is very painful. I had it for three years before my PA dx'd the diabetes [2003>, then I went to my neuro because he kept misdiagnosing my problems with my legs and feet. [I also changed doctors a number of times since then.> I was already an established patient of my neuro, so I did not need his say-so to go to her.
Currently, I am on 1600 mgs of neurontin daily for my neuropathy. I might go back to my neuro early next year, as I think it may be time for a bigger dose ? Keep walking even if it is painful, it will help in the long run.
There are numerous meds for diabetic neuropathy, so if the med you have is not working, it is good to discuss it with your doctor/s and try either a higher dose if the med can be done in higher doses, or different meds. Sometimes multiple meds could be the answer.
I have read on here that keeping one's sugars under control is helpful to relieving neuropathic pain. My sugars have been under control for a long time, but if it helps, I cannot tell it is helping. Then again, the nerve pain and damage could be worse, so perhaps it is. My meds help, but they are not 100% on relieving the pain. Perhaps they are about 80% or so.
Keep walking all you can, and do not give it up.

Those things are also such puny and stingy portions, and no thanks. They LOOK disgusting to me. Food has to look and taste good to me. If stuff looks disgusting, I cant eat it. [i.e., cooked greens, liver, etc . Eeewww.>

Oh yeah, drug companies have programs to help you with meds, but sometimes they still expect a person to pay part of the cost, and they do not even have enough means to do that. I know when I was waiting for my disability to be approved, I had $100 a month to live on. There was no way I could pay even the smallest copay for meds. Sometimes I was able to find help with my meds, and sometimes not. The drug companies live high in their Ivory Towers and are totally clueless on the hardships they create for people. Looking for help to buy meds, pay utilities, groceries, house payments etc is very degrading. I would gladly work, but my health interferes with that, despite my best efforts. At least now I have insurance, even though I still have to fight them on some things.
I have had to cut corners with insulin and syringes in the past too. Even so, last month I was without my seizure meds for over 2 weeks because of it. Disability is less than half of minimum wage; and they keep giving away our SS monies to illegal immigrants and other non Americans... GRRRRRRR..

this is an ILLEGAL law just passed by Congress and Obama secretly.

And as others have noted, many other things can cause nerve damage including toxic chemicals in your enviornment. I was raised on the east coast in a large industrial city. My dad built lots of model airplanes and we inhaled the glue a LOT. Toluene is a known carcinogen and causes many health issues. There are all kinds of toxins that I was exposed to growing up, so...

I think insulin would give you a LONGER lifespan than the pills would, and a healthier outcome also.

"This achievement is great, and the consistency of success over the years is even more amazing," said Manos Maragakis, dean of the College of Engineering. "It speaks well of the quality of our students, year after year being dominant in a highly competitive region, including U.C. Berkeley, and then going to nationals and getting top finishes."
The American Society of Civil Engineers Mid-Pac Region Conference event is more than building and paddling a 20-foot canoe made out of concrete — a six-month undertaking — it includes equal scores for design, preparing and presenting a technical paper and final product. The Nevada team placed first in four of the canoe races, and second in the fifth, as well as first place in the design paper and second place in the oral presentation portion of the competition.
The team's canoe was 15 pounds lighter than last year's 175-pound canoe in which they placed second at nationals. The canoe was the lightest, by 40 pounds, of any other in this year's competition. The lightest Wolf Pack canoe weighed 140 pounds in 2010 when the team placed fifth in nationals. In the past, teams from other schools have built and raced in canoes reported to weigh as much as 750 pounds. The aggregates used in the concrete mixture play an important role in the strength and weight of the concrete and the Nevada team spent innumerable hours perfecting the mixture, building on past year's experience. The mixture must also be pliable for shaping and able to be spread to the half-inch thickness of the hull.
The competition included teams from California State University, Chico; California State University, Fresno; California State University, Sacramento; San Francisco State University; San Jose State University; Santa Clara University; U.C. Berkeley, U.C. Davis and the University of Nevada, Reno.
The 25th annual ASCE National Concrete Canoe Competition is being hosted by the University of Nevada, Reno at the Sparks Marina and on the university's campus June 14 through 16. There will be two dozen teams participating, representing 18 ASCE regions from around the country.

Be ready for the stinkbug invasion
By JOHN VOGEL
Stinkbugs leave a powerful impression. As I began writing this story, I started smelling one that I searched for — in vain. Hopefully, you'll also search for it in vain in your orchards and fields during the fast-coming growing season.
But Cooperative Extension and USDA entomologists in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Virginia anticipate a season-long siege of brown marmorated stinkbugs, or BMSB, this year. And for fruit crops in particular, the best-performing insecticide may not gain a Section 18 federal label until midsummer.
Key Points
• Working group anticipates stinkbugs to be a major pest this year.
• Section 18 emergency-use label may not arrive until midsummer.
• Scouting, traps and knockdowns are the only weapons of choice.
Crop scouting recommendations for BMSB published in the March issue, haven't changed.
Most insecticides labeled for stinkbugs in row crops are knockdowns with little residual activity. That's a major handicap in fruit crops. And, the pesticides may disrupt integrated pest management strategies.
Elevated to 'crisis critter'
BMSB will pose a season-long threat, warns Tracy Leskey, co-leader of the national working group of USDA, Extension and industry. Last fall, she and other fruit researchers discovered extensive fruit damage in September and October. Some injuries were not detected at harvest, but showed up later in cold storage.
Leskey, a USDA Agricultural Research Service entomologist at Kearneysville, W.Va., adds that egg masses from overwintering adults will start appearing in late May in peaches, and in early June in apples. Newly hatched nymphs will be easiest to control with insecticides.
In fruit orchards, bait monitors along the periphery or in border rows will detect migration from wild areas. On-ground black traps have proven substantially better at attracting BMSB than white or yellow, according to the researchers. To build or buy stinkbug traps, go to www.potomacaudubon.org/2011stinkbugs.html.
Stinkbugs are most active at night. That's why Leskey advises spraying in the evening or at night.
Chris Bergh, Extension entomologist at Virginia Tech, is the lead scientist applying for a Section 18 label for dinotefuran neonicotinoid insecticide (one brand name is Venom). It's one of the most effective products evaluated by the working group.
Valent's Venom and Gowan's Scorpion are labeled for brassicas, cucurbits, grapes, potatoes and vegetables, but not fruit crops. Bergh says that the bug kill rate with Scorpion, for example, increased as rates rose from 3.4 to 7.7 ounces per acres.
That was in lab tests. "It's untested in orchards," he adds.
The dinotefuran products are used to control stinkbugs in Asia. But label rates in Japan, he notes, are substantially higher than in the United States.
Bottom line: Below-label rates may provide below-expectation results. And Bergh concludes: "They aren't magic bullets."
BUG UGLY! Now you know how "bug ugly" came to be. Brown marmorated stinkbugs are ugly anywhere you find them. And you may smell them before you see them.

What is Obstacle Racing? Obstacle Racing is an emerging sport and for Spartan, it's a series of
Our races include two forms of competition. When registering you have two options: Individual and Team.
Individual: Each individual is given a racing chip where their official race time is captured. There are established competitive heats where times are used to award prizes and for the most competitive in the field but not every wave of competitors is showing up to compete. We have a place for everyone.
Teams: You can race with a team – build it as big and as bad as you like – your team's first four finishers will be your official team time. You still get to race as an individual so you get your own time established as well. Fastest teams can race in any heat and their award will be determined at the end of the day once all teams have had a chance to race.
The Ultimate Spartan Challenge: The Spartan Trifecta
Take on each of our three obstacle racing distances in a year proving that you are the Ultimate Spartan!
There are three distances: Sprint, Super, and Beast.
Red Spartan Sprint: A Spartan Sprint is a 5K (3.1+ mile) race with a dozen or more obstacles designed to test your speed, agility, and strength. This is your Spartan Gateway. It's an opportunity to see how quickly you can get through the race, or a first step into obstacle racing. You'll never look at a 5K fun run the same way again after our Spartan Sprint.
Blue Spartan Olympic Distance (Super): The Spartan Olympic is an 8+ mile race with roughly 15 or more obstacles throughout designed to test your endurance and strength as you transition through even more obstacles. This is the second step in the Spartan Trifecta. It's a chance to see how far your training has brought you and the added mileage will make you really push through and find the finish line.
Green Spartan Beast (Ultra Distance): The Spartan Beast is a 10 – 12+ mile race with roughly 20 or more obstacles throughout designed to test your endurance, your mental strength, and your ability to persevere. The Beast is considered our Ultra distance and is the third step in the Spartan Trifecta. The World Championship for Obstacle Racing will be a Beast, held in Vermont in September in 2012. This race will show you your weaknesses, your strengths, and your commitment to finishing what you start.
Spartan Race does have one more challenge for those of you bad enough and committed enough to face it: The Spartan Death Race. There is only one Death Race and it's not a distance event but an ultimate test of endurance. Not an official part of the obstacle racing series, the Death Race is a pure mental, physical, and emotional challenge that seeks to break over 80% of the field to failure. It's not for the faint of heart and the most recent event held in 2011 took 45 hours to finish with only 35/155 finishing and 6/155 finishing with all the required challenges completed. Please only consider this race if you have lived a full life.
Each Region of the United States will have a Sprint, Super, and Beast in 2012 giving Spartans a chance to race in their distance of choice, work towards a Spartan Trifecta, or even qualify for our World Championship. The Top 10 male and Top 10 Female Racers from each race will earn an invite to World Championships.
Want to join the Spartan movement that's sweeping the globe and find your own Spartan Glory? You'll know at the Finish Line.

Fri-Sat 8am-2:30pm, 5:30pm-2am
Neighborhoods: Red Hook
Atmosphere comes in bunches in this New Orleans-themed Red Hook bar: for once, the tribute and the location are kindred spirits, and you might think yourself in the bywater.
This lovely Red Hook bar and restaurant is known for its excellent rotating menu of cocktails, which often harken back to vintage recipes from say, The Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book of 1935 or The Savoy Cocktail Book of 1930. Bitter, refreshing flavors play an essential role in many of the drinks.
Red Hook gets an artsy cafe from a former Pegu Club alum. – Writer and former Pegu Club bartender St. John Frizell is the man behind this eclectic cafe/bar in Red Hook, which has, unsurprisingly, become a popular spot for writers looking to pump out pages. The understated space is decorated simply with a brass chandelier and vintage posters in Spanish, while the menu is similarly low key. The quiet cafe offers oversized mugs of Counter Culture coffee and serves light bites throughout the day: Breakfast items include egg sandwiches and croissants from Colson Patisserie, while lunch features sandwiches like a tasty banh mi. Dinner is mostly comprised of snacks meant to accompany drinks (think a variety of meats, cheeses and olives).

54 Mount Gretna Rd, Elizabethtown, PA | Directions 1702240.166007 -76.607148
Mon. - Tue. CLOSED;Wed. - Sun. 11am - 10pm
Outskirts worth the Travel – Located just outside Elizabethtown Pennsylvania lies an eye opening to Welsh food served in a traditional setting. Along with several locally grown condiments and flavored with the new delight in small brewing of Beer, comes an interesting and flavorable experience. Freshly made food made from recipes, and served onto your plate is the key to turning yourself and your guest into an enjoyable afternoon or evening at the Black Gryphon. Local musicians and entertainment can be enjoyed on the weekends.
Parking is ample on 3 sides of the facility, close to an exit off Route 283 and nearby to the turnpike means travel to just about anywhere is with in reach.
I frequent this restaurant.
Amazing – My husband and I ate there earlier this year when we first moved to Elizabethtown and were amazed by the quality of the food, the terrific service and the fresh and local foods that they serve on the menu. We have dined at many places in the Lancaster, Harrisburg and Shippensburg area that are considered "fine dining" and rarely is it as comfortable and warm as this place offers. You can show up in jeans and a tee shirt or wear a nice outfit and be comfortable either way. The prices are a little higher than what you would pay at chain restaurants, but well worth it when you consider how much better everything tastes. All of the fish is locally caught, the meat is bought at a local butcher and many of the vegetables and other items are bought from local farmers. It is precisely what we look for in a restaurant - great food, great service, great drinks and a sense of community in the area. We have taken many of our friends there on multiple occasions since our first time there and hope to come back many times again.

Habitat for Humanity at work building dreams7:16 am | September 15, 2013
Olivia Shaffer has always dreamed of owning her own home. Soon, her dreams will be a reality.
Later this year, the Elizabethton resident and her 8-year-old daughter, Makinnzie, will move into a home in the Southside community that is being refurbished by dozens of Carter County Habitat for Humanity volunteers. Among those volunteers last Saturday were a group of Elizabethton Rotary Club members, who worked on the house as a part of a community service project marking the centennial celebration of Rotary District 7570.
Lanelle Crockett, local Holston Habitat for Humanity coordinator, said, "While Rotary is an international organization, members of the Elizabethton club felt that Rotary and Habitat share many of the same values, and volunteering to work on the house was a good way to mark their 100th anniversary."
The Rotary volunteers helped with painting the interior of the house, cut and installed siding on the exterior of the home and did some sweeping and cleaning up around the grounds.
Since early August, several volunteers have worked on Shaffer's new home, priming and painting the walls she'll soon use to hang family photos and artwork.
Many of the volunteers such as Crockett and Don Swanner, site supervisor for the Elizabethton house, are long-time volunteers with Habitat for Humanity.
"Enabling a family to achieve home ownership is a life changing event with long lasting implications," Crockett said.
The house, which was built in 2005 by Holston Habitat for Humanity, previously belonged to another Elizabethton Habitat family. "We hope to have it ready for a move-in date for late October, but this will depend to a great extent on the number of volunteers who show up to work between now and then," said Crockett.
"There is still a lot of work to be done — walls to repair and paint, lots of detail work. We need both skilled and non-skilled workers. All they have to do is show up and someone will show them or teach them what they need to know," she stressed, adding that much of the work is being done on Saturdays. Crockett said a Holston Habitat building inspector will be present to provide needed guidance to volunteers.
The three-bedroom, one-bath house which the Shaffers will occupy is located on Hartselle Drive. The Shaffers will join 12 other families who are Habitat for Humanity homeowners in Elizabethton.
Habitat for Humanity's success is based on the belief that everyone, everywhere deserves a simple, decent place to live. Locally, people from all walks of life have come together to build the Elizabethton Habitat for Humanity houses. "We have had college students, professional people, church lay members, retirees, clubs and some women to help with these houses," Crockett said.
Why does Crockett do it?
"Being part of Habitat is about more than building houses," she shared. "It's about reaching out to our neighbors in need and helping them build not just a house, but their dreams for a brighter future."
Crockett said there are several ways that Habitat ensures that each house built is a hand-up, not a handout, and that the new homeowners get the most out of their partnership. "First, once a Habitat partner family is selected, we help prepare them for home ownership through a series of comprehensive, interactive workshops where they learn about basic home maintenance and repair, how to manage their finances, and how to protect their new home," she explained.
At the same time, members of the partner family began to work in the Habitat office and on the construction sites of other partner families to earn the "sweat equity" hours required by the program. Each homeowner family invests 500 hours of volunteer labor in the building of their home and in other Habitat projects.
Finally, Habitat partner families become homeowners; they purchase their homes. Habitat builds these homes at no profit, financing them with zero-interest mortgages. As families pay off their mortgages, the money is recycled to build more homes.
"Our homeowners become those who now give the hand-up to the next family," Crockett shared.
Not to mention that these new homeowners are now property taxpayers, too.
"They make a tangible difference in our community," Crockett said.
As for Olivia Shaffer, she's excited to be so close to moving into her new home. She said she enjoys giving back to the organization that is giving her so much.
"We're helping not only ourselves, but others," she said.

Hey everyone,
I am having well problems. My 1/2 hp 230v pump runs all the time 24/7. It puts out 22psi and 3gpm. The pressure never gets high enough to trip the switch off. I need to pull the pump.
The pitless adapter in my well is one that I can't find any mention of excpt here.
Anybody ever see one of these? How do you get it to let go? I am an Auto Tech Instructor, so I can fix just about anything. I have never had to deal with anyting like this, so any help would be HUGE!

I discovered my H's A through cell phone bills and since then my life has been a freaking vomit inducing roller coaster. Every time I think I'm doing okay, something triggers me and I go back to almost square one. Freaking pathetic this A stuff is. Cruel really.
I'm Done
I've done the same - looked back and wondered how I made it so long without losing my mind. I have no idea how I did it, outside of the best best friend in the world.
This last and most serious A was with a woman 10 years younger than me. Now, every time I look in the mirror, that is all I can think about. It really bothers me. It is very, very hard on my self-esteem. Anyone else struggle with this?
Every day! My OW is 22 years younger than me and 26 years younger than my H...AND he has often said that the PA with her was a "real boost to his ego" because of her young age.
AND on top of that, her "girls" are way bigger than mine...saggy, but bigger, and my H is a boob man.
I try not to make comparisons, because when I do, I usually come up way short, but it's so hard not to think that way, and I do feel I'm the consolation prize...that it's easier for him to stay with me than to go through another D.
My H is trying, but with his history of strokes, he is often emotionally unavailable to me, he isn't able to remember a lot of things about the A, which leaves me hanging on a lot of questions.
Like all of us here, I've only wanted to feel special to my H...now I feel like I'm no different than just any other woman, I feel so disposable. The mental images are still so strong and at times seem to have more of an impact than even when I first found out.
Don't let yesterday use up too much of today.
I could join the Depression thread...
the Infidelity while Ill thread...
The Sexually Abused thread...
The Multiple Affairs thread...
The Spouse works with AP thread...
The Double betrayal thread...
probably the Sex Addicts thread...
and most definitely the Depression thread!
WHEW! That IS depressing!
I like the looks of this place though, so if it's okay, I think I'll pull up a chair.
Here's my story...
H and I were married very young--I was 17, he was 18.
We both come from families with two alcoholic parents.
Both of us were abused.
H was terribly neglected also.
His parents divorced (because of cheating and domestic violence) when H was 10.
His mom died when he was 15.
We each had so much baggage that it's a miracle that we could function at all.
H started cheating about three years into the M, but I didn't find out until years later--after we had three children.
(I never caught him red-handed--always found out long after the fact)
When he started confessing, about 10 years into the M, he confessed to ONE ONS. Within the next few years, we had another child and H confessed to many more ONSs and short term As.
We spent over a year in counseling. H made huge changes. I thought we were recovering pretty well.
Fast forward another 10 years and he did it again--a midlife crisis affair with a younger woman at work.
The OW was 12 years younger than my H and 12 years older than our oldest son.
She had a thing with our son too.
Our son didn't know about OW and his dad, but H knew about OW and son, and it didn't matter to him--he wanted her that badly.
I knew this time (a gut feeling--no concrete proof), but H wouldn't admit it.
He lied about it for five years before he finally started talking.
We are five years past this last D-day (there have been little d-days, working out details and clearing up all of the lies he told)
We are fairly well reconciled, though things about all of it still eat at me.
I have never told my entire story here before, but this place feels safe.
H and I have been through almost everything.
Maybe I can help someone else.
anyways, thanks for listening...thanks for being a safe place.
No, we haven't tried alanon, but while we were in counseling years ago, we did attend some ACAP (adult children of alcoholic parent) meetings.
They helped us tremendously.
Before that, we had both felt so isolated I think. Attending those meetings and hearing others tell their stories was like having someone open up the pages to our own stories. It probably did us as much good as the year of counseling.
We have come a long, long way.
I know that people read MY story and wonder why in this world would I stay with such a man.
The thing is, he is not a monster. He is a wonderful father...a great companion...a hard worker and good provider...he makes me laugh and I truely believe that we really do love one another.
He was broken inside.
I was too.
Even five years post D-day, I can't say that we are fully healed, but we ARe healing.
It has taken lots of time and lots of work.
There are (still) days when I want to strangle him and (still) days when I die inside, but all in all we are getting better.
Maybe we will always be a work in progress.

R is going okay, H is remorseful but lately very depressed over all that's been ruined, so that's hard. And I don't think I'll ever get over the feeling of being the "logical choice" afte d-day, feeling like a consolation prize, and feeling old (she's 15 years younger). This wasn't my idea of how a M should be, when going towards retirement age!
Maybe what I need is another drink...can't hurt.
Love is not blind - it sees more, not less. But because it sees more, it is willing to see less. (Rabbi Julius Gordon)
Who knew men would actually TALK. Its like trying to turn water into wine to get my H to open up.
How could I have lived with a liar and not known...
how is your son holding up?
I dont know about you, but this whole A business just makes me want to Barf.
Why does life have to be so dang ugly sometimes.
I sometimes wish I had rose colored glasses for life....
My H is only 33 right now...I'm really worried about midlife crisis and him having another A.
That would devastate me.
If you want the in depth version, go to my profile, but here are some highlights...
FWH had sex with a girl he met at one of his stops...He was 50 at the time, she was 38, I was 43. Most of the damage was done after D-day...he continued seeing her for 3 weeks, was telling her he loved her, and continued working for this comapny for 10 months, (refused to even look for another job) His excuse for continuing to see her was he was looking for a way out...He had already called her the night he came home and told her, He was at home, it was over, and we were working it out!!!! For me the way out was already estabished, HE was Married, and it should have never happened to begin with, but that wasn't good enough for him. Months later he admitted that
"I just couldn't let her go"
After months of him being defensive and arrogant at some points, and then being reassuring and compassionate at others, he finally had to quit that job, and I think that was the turning point for us. We are now in MC, and he is doing most all the right things, and is very understanding for the most part. Some things I can't seem to get past, but I don't discuss them with him, Yet, I don't want to tear down what we have built to this point.
In my tag line you will see that this was actually the 4th woman he had been with, but I don't even consider the other 3, This one had the potential to destroy us both though. There is a story behind the other 3, and I've come to terms with them, and have moved on. But with this one, I'm having a lot more difficult time.
Married age 18
been married 18 years
Found out about his PA 1/14/2007 said it was only twice but that was enough she was pregnant. Ow works in one of the building he has to go to every other day. Cant change that. She got rid of the baby on my 18 year wedding anniversary (aint that special)
My husband says he had his A because I gained weight and he did not find me attractive ASSHOLE Feeling like crap half the time and then the other half I could rule the world. Iam better then both of them we all are better then our WS.
HUGS to everyone in here I wish I could make all the hurt go away for everyone but we can always be here for each other.
On top of everything else I have to think about my 16 just got her license fun fun. Anyone have any advice on that one?
does your H ever leave semen stains in his undies?
I currently found 2 in his laundry basket...w/stains. Not a lot..but enough.
Pre-A I never really noticed or looked before, but they always seemed to be stain free.
I'm triggering badly about this and there are other things, his actions this week for one, which are making me wonder if he is up to something again.
oh, and the semen wouldnt be from US having sex...he hasnt touched me for 3 months now.
I'm due w/our son in 10days.
thoughts? Should I assume he is no longer an X WH?
[This message edited by stillhurting1 at 3:26 PM, April 19th (Thursday)]
My FWH has never left semen stains in his underwear.
Seeing as it's not from sex with you, could it be from masturbation? I hope so for your sake.
Both giving our best to R.

Lending a helping hand
Tax Telegraph, July 2013
Parent Co is a company resident of Australia and owns a business manufacturing widgets.
Parent Co wishes to expand its operations and thus sets up a subsidiary company, Sub Co, in Singapore. Sub Co is set up with much enthusiasm, however, it is soon realised that due to the volatile economy, Sub Co is struggling in Singapore. Parent Co makes a payment to Sub Co in the amount of $1 million to help its subsidiary stay afloat. In providing this "help" Parent Co expects to get a deduction in the amount of $1 million.
It is natural to expect companies to support their subsidiaries financially in times when they might be starting up or struggling.
Such "help" generally comes in the form of a "market support payment" and has been very common practice for a long time. The payments are supposed to reflect the risk that a subsidiary faces when operating in new markets or existing ones while implementing the methods and strategies of the parent company. The struggling subsidiary receives "help" to stay afloat and the company providing the help gets a tax deduction for it.
It's a win-win situation right?
The ATO seems to have a different view.
Take a step back
Market support payment is a payment that is objectively made by a parent to a subsidiary because all or part of the subsidiary has made a loss or losses, or is not sufficiently profitable.
The definition potentially covers a broad range of payments. For instance, a reimbursement of a portion of a subsidiary's advertising and promotional expenditure, which is calculated such that it ensures that the subsidiary is sufficiently profitable.
It is also not uncommon for intercompany agreements to contain clauses that specify or guarantee a certain margin or profit level to the subsidiary for the activities carried out in relation to a transaction with its parent. This could potentially result in the subsidiary paying some fees to the parent company during profitable years, but also receiving a payment from the parent company during difficult times.
The normal position for most parent companies making such payments to subsidiaries is to claim the amounts as tax deductions. This can be justified on the basis that the payments are outgoings related to the ordinary course of their business.
However, the ATO has recently released a draft Tax Determination (TD) 2013/D3 which purports to change this treatment.
The draft determination is based on the fact pattern in the latter example given above. It is a scenario where a parent shares its resources, such as trademarks or systems, with a foreign subsidiary in exchange for a variable fee. This "license fee" is calculated based on the subsidiary's performance in various measures during a profitable year. However, in an unprofitable year, the subsidiary will receive a market support payment which covers the amount of the loss made. It is this type of transfer from parent to subsidiary which the ATO is examining.
It is important to note upfront that the rules proposed in this draft determination don't apply to companies within the same tax consolidated group. Similarly, a bona fide loan from a parent to a subsidiary is not considered to be a market support payment.
Proposed changes
So what is it that the ATO is proposing to change?
Put simply, it's the ability for a company to claim these market support payments as deductions. The ATO has specified that they would now adopt the position that market support payments are no longer deductible under either the "general" or "black-hole" provisions in the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
General deductions is a category of allowed deduction which covers the vast majority of the outgoings that you can think of when it comes to the day to day operation of a business. So long as it is considered necessary and is made in relation to the production of income, an expense will usually fall under this category. There is always a strong link between general deductions and the earning of income.
A black-hole deduction is named as such because it is where "black-hole expenditure" or expenditure which doesn't fall under any other category in the legislation is claimed. This would include items such as business commencement expenses that wouldn't be allowed under general or other deduction provisions. A business may claim a deduction for the amount of the outgoing in equal amounts split over five years.
The essential exception to deductibility rules are expenses or outgoings "of a capital nature". Whether something is or isn't of a capital nature generally comes down to principles established in judgements handed down in court cases over the years.
Broadly, it's useful to think of capital as the "tree" and income as the "fruit" and in such a sense market support payments to a subsidiary are akin to maintaining the health and value of the tree, in this instance the shares held in the subsidiary. It comes down to a concept known as "enduring benefit" which means that the value in making market support payments is more similar to longer term investments than the simple day to day transactions characterising general deductions.
The ATO view is that market support payments possess the character of capital rather than income. Accordingly, instead of allowing a deduction, the value of market support payments should be added to the cost base of the shares in the subsidiary. Cost base is essentially just a value representing the cost of acquiring and maintaining an asset, such as shares.
So what does it all mean?
There are several issues with the stance that the ATO has taken.
For one, it is intended to apply regardless of how a parent-subsidiary arrangement may operate in practice. The ATO suggests that the objective view of any such payment is capital.
This would apply in any situation where the payments between parent and subsidiary are determined with relation to the profits or losses of the subsidiary as judged and agreed to between the two.
However, the ATO's view that these payments are capital would run afoul of some transfer pricing rules and could be challenged both at home and abroad.
The ATO has also allowed TD2013/D3 a broad scope, applying to any parent company that has entered into a market support arrangement or has made plans to do so. However, the example scenario in the draft is too narrow to support a blanket application to all parent-subsidiary arrangements. When examining issues of whether a transaction should be treated as capital or revenue, the courts have always taken particular care to examine the specific facts and circumstances of the individual scenario.
If the draft progresses to become a public ruling, these changes are likely to be applied retrospectively. Given the uncertainty and lack of clarity on the actual application, this would not provide much time for taxpayers to review their arrangements.

Vitamin D Supplements Can Be Associated With Lower Risk of DeathPosted: Friday, September 21, 2007
Individuals who take vitamin D supplements appear to have a lower risk of death from any cause over an average follow-up time of six-years.
Past studies have suggested that deficiencies in vitamin D might be associated with a higher risk of death from cancer, heart disease and diabetes—illnesses that account for 60 percent to 70 percent of deaths in high-income nations, according to background information in the article. "If the associations made between vitamin D and these conditions were consistent, then interventions effectively strengthening vitamin D status should result in reduced total mortality," the authors write.
Philippe Autier, M.D., of the International Agency for Research on Cancer, Lyon, France, and Sara Gandini, Ph.D., of the European Institute of Oncology, Milano, Italy, searched for randomized controlled trials of vitamin D supplements published before November 2006. They analyzed 18 separate trials that included 57,311 participants and evaluated doses of vitamin D ranging from 300 to 2,000 international units, with an average dose of 528 international units. Most commercially available supplements contain between 400 and 600 international units.
Over an average follow-up period of 5.7 years, 4,777 of the participants died. Individuals who took vitamin D had a 7 percent lower risk of death than those who did not. In the nine trials that collected blood samples, those who took supplements had an average 1.4- to 5.2-fold higher blood level of vitamin D than those who did not.
"Mechanisms by which vitamin D supplementation would decrease all-cause mortality are not clear," the authors write. Vitamin D could inhibit some mechanisms by which cancer cells proliferate, or it may boost the function of blood vessels or the immune system, they note.
"In conclusion, the intake of ordinary doses of vitamin D supplements seems to be associated with decreases in total mortality rates," the authors write. "The relationship between baseline vitamin D status, dose of vitamin D supplements and total mortality rates remains to be investigated. Population-based, placebo-controlled randomized trials in people 50 years or older for at least six years with total mortality as the main end point should be organized to confirm these findings."

in mac mail is there a way to edit the subject line of an email thats in the inbox, this is just for internal filing reasons, say you get sent an email with the subject line 'attn:sam' that dosnt really help me if i want to go back and find it so could i rename that subject line some how ?
While technically it's possible, it's not trivial. You would have to write an applescript to search/replace the contents of your subject field and then use apple mail filters and run applescript based on your rule.
This is commonly done in the unix world via procmail, for example when spamassassin detects spam, procmail appends SPAM to the email subject message.
it might be better to set up rules based on subject to filter your mail into separate boxes for organization.
Actually there isn't a way for renaming the "Subject" field. It wouldn't be the right way in my opinion.
I think you should leverage on "Mailbox" and/ord "Smart Mailbox" for organizing your mails. They help you when you have to find a mail for a specific "topic".
There is a (somewhat convoluted) way to do it:

Hope this helps.

San Antonio X-Factor Signs Texas Storm's Demetrius "Meter" Ninios
- Updated: January 16, 2013 at 11:33 PM
Texas Storm player Demetrius "Meter" Ninios has confirmed that he will begin his rookie season with San Antonio X-Factor. Demetrius hails from Dallas, TX and sits right at home with his neighbors next door from San Antonio. The young 19 year old will play under coach and player of X-Factor, Alex Martinez, in hopes to fill the void that Mykel Kovar left, in his recent departure for Moscow Red Legion.
One thing is for sure, Ninios knows how to win, as he has acquired a Top 4 finish in a total of nine PSP Division 1 events over the past few years; playing for Texas Storm, New Jersey Jesters and Raiden. According to Demetrius, X-Factor looks to play him on both the dorito and the snake side of the field at the moment. Ninios is a very versatile player with the ability to play all over the field. In Kovar's absence, the chances of us seeing Ninios accompany Billy Bernacchia on the snake side of the field are highly likely.
Our sources also report that San Antonio X-Factor's current players are all locked in for the 2013 paintball season. So we shouldn't be expecting anymore surprise departures from their team anytime soon.
While X-Factor has lost one of their key players, the odds of another good season is in their favor. With a newly acquired up-and-comer, X-Factor adds more youth and versatility to their roster. We look forward to being witness to another rookie display his talents at the professional level.

Florida's Basketball Team Not Ready For Primetime Yet
December 2nd, 2010 12:19 PM║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink
║ Schools: Florida
Tags: Donnie Jones, Florida Gators, Florida State, Former Donovan
This was supposed to be the year the Florida Gators finally became a basketball power again. Instead, this year is starting to look a lot like the last few seasons in Gainesville.
The Gators were ranked #11 in the preseason coaches poll. They were favored to win the SEC. Things have not gone to according to plan. Yet.
After a season-opening win over UNC-Wilmington, Billy Donovan's squad was throttled at home by 5th-ranked Ohio State 93-75 in mid-November. Since then the Gators have had close calls in wins over Morehead State and Florida State.
Last night, things got worse. Former Donovan assistant Donnie Jones and his UCF Golden Knights toppled the Gators 55-51 in Orlando. (CORRECTION — I initially listed this as being played in Gainesville. My mistake. Rushed error. Apologies.)
"There's no question our offensive chemistry right now is not very good," Donovan said after the game. "We have guys right now that are way wrapped up with their offense and how many shots they are getting up. We're not very cohesive. … What I think they are doing is they are not playing together, they are not utilizing each other's individual talents. The disappointing part is these guys all have played together."
While these kinds of losses hurt in the polls and in the RPI, it's a long way to March. There's still plenty of time for Donovan's team to start living up to expectations. But so far… they have not.
