No seriously, he just doesn't learn his lesson by sticking w/ her and loving her? But first relationship are like that, believing it is a special concept of sorts. I just hope he doesn't later date another girl (anyone at all) and go back to her. Its very sour enough as it is.

Utsumi is a retard so be it, atm I'm giving this manga a hiatus, I don't even want to think about going with the weekly drama of this stupid hero same as with knim.
Such cheap drama mangas are best read in volumes, when you can actually sit trough 70% of retardness, for that few good moments.

Like Xaturas I would rather shoot my own leg than recommend Medaka Box to anyone.
Kimagure was good, particularly the main female was a really nicely developed character so different from your usual flicks or drama queens like Yuki. The main hero was kind of plain but had the balls, something that Usu looses most of the time (or if finds them in rare occasions only to get kicked into them).
Love Hina was one of teh manga/animes that a lot of readers started with, so its pretty normal.

Jim Nantz, speaking with NCAA president Mark Emmert at halftime of Kentucky-Baylor yesterday, gave it a good shot — and likely was stuck for time — but exactly how does this yearly one-and-done Kentucky thing work?
When it's over, win or lose, do the university's players just disperse, head wherever? There's no reason to return to school. For what? They're done. They no longer have academic eligibility to worry about, if they worried much to begin with.
In fact, it stands to reason Kentucky's one-and-doners were finished being college students at the start of the SEC tournament, or sooner.
Thus, it quacks like a fraud. It seems a lot like financial and academic fraud, systemic fraud, fraud by design and with a major university serving as the front. In other "legit" businesses outside of higher education, that's a serious crime: It's called racketeering.
Sure, there are precedents. P.J. Carlesimo's 1989 Seton Hall players, who lost to Michigan in the NCAA final, simply went their individual ways after that game. No reason to return to school; their business at and for Seton Hall was done for the year, if not forever.
Heck, Andrew Gaze's first day enrolled at Seton Hall was the first day of practice. Right after the Michigan game, he returned home to Australia. His one-and-done lasted from day one of practice to the last game of the season. So long, mates!
If Seton Hall was in violation of anything — internally or by NCAA code — it wasn't charged. Kentucky is apparently clean, too.
As Emmert yesterday told Nantz, those who bolt early for pro ball don't count against a school's APR (Academic Progress Rate). To that end, they never existed. March Madness.
* Pants on Fire: Saturday, with seconds left in the game between Louisville and Florida, with the Cardinals up three, Kevin "Hollerin" Harlan lost track of the score. As Florida tried successive 3-pointers to tie, Harlan declared "for the lead!" It didn't strike him as odd the Gators twice worked the ball outside to shoot 3-pointers if they were down two?
OK, such mistakes happen. But Harlan then made matters worse by pretending he knew it was a three-point lead all along, that we never heard what he had been shouting or we're too stupid to have known better.
He owed his audience and reputation an acknowledgement — "Sorry, folks, I lost track" — instead of bad faith. All he had to do was briefly note his error and he would have disarmed reasonable viewers. Instead, his dishonesty, was insulting.
Same telecast, tight game, late second half, a whistle. Harlan: "Foul called; 3:58 left, when we come back to Phoenix." Off to commercials.
Who was the foul on? Stay tuned to CBS to find out!
Same telecast, first half: Louisville guard Peyton Siva made a nice move from the left, quickly dribbling toward the basket, likely to shoot a layup or make a pass for an easy basket. But he stumbled. As he lost control, he swatted the ball to a teammate, who scored. Good stuff.
But CBS' Len Elmore didn't see it that way: "He was lucky. … That was over-penetration by Peyton Siva. Sometimes he makes those kind of mental mistakes."
Over-penetration? Another new one! I thought over-penetration is when you drive to the basket and keep going until you've dribbled out of bounds.
It's all Tiger, all the time
Tiger (formerly known as Golf): Saturday morning, NBC's Golf Channel again showed nothing but day-before Tiger Woods highlights. Good grief! … What? Oh, this time he was actually winning?
So Woods is walking the 18th on Saturday, the slightest, briefest smile on his face — if it was a smile; he had just applied lip balm — and the NBC guys go into their absurd Woods Worship World mode.
Johnny Miller: "You can see he's enjoying something, right now, and that's good."
Peter Jacobson: "It's nice to see him with that look, that light look; golf's fun and interesting, not holding him down, ya know?"
Hey, who did dirt to Tiger other than Tiger?
But that "look" can't be any lighter than the look he has when he watches DVDs of this stuff and giggles himself to sleep.
* The Jimmy (Dolan) Fund: For many, it comes down to which team owner you most or least prefer to be abused by in exchange for your steady patronage?
Rangers season tickets that cost $59 per game have been increased to $102 (73 percent!) for the first round of the playoffs. Second round, $112 per; third, $150; finals, $230.
"If you look at the amount of those increases," says subscriber Rob Picciotto of Brooklyn, "it's obvious that they want to smack you early rather than risk not making it to the second or third round." True.
But apparently this meets with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman's approval. To think that after the 2004-05 lockout, NHL rinks had "Thank You Fans" on the ice. Now replace "Thank" with … well, never mind.
* No column is complete without a Mike Francesa note. From reader Mike DeGregorio: "Mush — Thanks for taking my email."
Calling foul on CBS cameras
All those sideline shots, yet when Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim was hit with a "T" for misconduct on Saturday, CBS had no tape to show what he did?
* CBS' Clark Kellogg was better when he talked basketball instead of gobbledygook. … Louisville coach Rick Pitino did all he could — gave Florida two chances to tie — rather than foul when up by three. … Baylor yesterday made it tough to determine where the jerseys ended and the tattoos began, and vice versa.
* PBS has a special on Fenway Park in its 100th year, tonight from 10-11.
I wrote in yesterday's early edition that the Kentucky Derby is for 2-year-olds. It's for 3-year-olds, and I've known that since I was a 4-year-old! To quote Napoleon Dynamite, "Idiot!"
How Can a Mudder Eat Its Fodder? As long as TV's voices (and these voices in my head) insist on telling us that one must "negotiate" a putt, what happens when the player is Rocco Mediate? How can you Mediate and negotiate? Hey, Abbott!
* Irving Fryar and Mark Bavaro genuflected in the end zone after touchdown catches, yet it was never an issue the way it is with Tim Tebow. And who ridiculed Reggie White for his religious zealotry?

Advancement division, BSM moves to remodeled building
PLAINVIEW – The division of institutional advancement at Wayland Baptist University, along with the student ministries office, have relocated to the remodeled Trinity Building in Plainview.
The building, located at Ninth and Utica streets, formerly was home to Trinity United Methodist Church. The university purchased the church property, which is very near the campus, shortly after the congregation moved.
The west side of the facility was renovated first to provide offices and a student lounge for the Baptist Student Ministries program. Existing kitchen and fellowship hall spaces are used for similar purposes for the BSM, while the sanctuary was remodeled and is the new home for Plumbline, the BSM's weekly campus worship services. Donnie Brown serves as director of the student ministries program, which coordinates student missions, Bible studies, outreach and community service efforts and spiritual enhancement opportunities for Wayland students and employees.
The east side of the facility was then remodeled to create offices and workrooms out of former classrooms. Offices under institutional advancement are housed in that wing of the building, with Betty Donaldson, vice president for advancement, heading that unit. Others in the division are Martha Cross, director of development; Joe Provence, director of alumni services; and Teresa Young, director of communications and public relations. The advancement unit is responsible for fundraising efforts, alumni relations, advertising and media relations for the university system.
A formal open house for the university family and the community at large is planned for later in the spring.
Phone numbers and mailing addresses remain the same for the offices. The advancement division may be reached at 291-3425. The BSM offices may be reached at 291-3595.

To the editor: Ms. Russell in her commentary I believe missed the point with her scholarly comments on the controversy over the 2012 budget.
We of simpler educational and non-bureaucratic backgrounds are dumbfounded by the omission of $700,000 in the presentation to the City Council of the School Boards' funding request which would in effect require an override of the spending cap. This omission caused a huge and completely unnecessary response from many who considered those against an override to be anti-education, anti-children and anti-American.
We can do better.

To the editor: On Saturday morning my husband and I got up to tackle the driveway so we to get out to go to the ice fishing derby. We were shocked to see the mess we had. The bottom of our driveway was at least 3 feet high and I went on Craig's List to try to get someone to come plow with no success.
I saw a truck at the end of my road plowing a driveway and when he came past I asked him if he could help us out and he agreed. When I ask how much he said free.
I wasn't going to not offer this nice gentleman something and when I went in the house to get some money the man just drove away.
Wow is it nice to see people like this, I go out of my way to help everyone I cannot asking for anything in return and days like this make it all worth while. I hope that man reads this letter and knows what he did means the world to me and my family. Thank you so much for your kindness.

To the editor: I'm proud of how easy it is for Granite Staters to be involved in our state and local government. Many of us know our state representatives, have met our congressmen or women, and proudly vote in our first-in-the-nation primary every four years.
Yet this culture of civic pride is being threatened by a lawsuit that attempts to uphold an unfair voter registration law.
Last year the Legislature passed SB 318, a bill that added language to voter registration forms that was incorrect and designed to discourage people from registering. The language, which falsely implied that a person must obtain a New Hampshire driver's license and register a car here in order to vote, was removed after a Strafford County judge ruled that it was unconstitutional.
If the legislature does not pass legislation to permanently remove the language, our taxpayer dollars will be wasted defending the bill in the state Supreme Court. The legislature should immediately repeal SB 318 so we can encourage citizens to participate in democracy instead of misleading and confusing them.
Kevin Cash
To the editor: Welcome to 2013. It all started with class warfare against the millionaires and billionaires. Suddenly, the new tax rates include the upper middle class. But wait, Obama is already talking about new taxes on the rich. There apparently is no end to paying a fair share.
The latest Obamaism is "balance". We will have to wait and see how that plays out. Please note new taxes on real estate transactions and investment income under ObamaCare. What other nuggets are hidden in this 2700 page tomb, which has already generated 13,000 new regulations? You have to read the fine print; something our reps in Washington seem incapable of doing.
Speaking of Washington, all these projections "over ten years" are misleading at best. Who knows what is down the road. A Congress can't bind its successors. Ten year projections when applied to one year are not such a big deal. For instance, 500 billion over ten years is 50 billion in one year. Against a $1.4 trillion deficit that is peanuts. Then we have back-loading which pushes the bulk of the benefits to the back of the term. For instance, the trillion dollar reduction Obama likes to talk about only provides about a 5% savings the first year.
Remember Obama promised transparency and accountability? What do we have instead? Obfuscation. The best example may be we have had no federal budget for three years. This is deliberate obfuscation.
Despite his oath to uphold and defend the constitution, this president shows little respect for it. Perhaps the best example of this is his declaring "if Congress won't do it, I will", thereby circumventing the authority of Congress.
We are witness to a carefully staged crisis. First the Newtown incident leading to Joe Biden's gun control panel with its recommendations to the president. But voila, the next day in campaign mode, the president discloses 23 new executive orders and several initiatives for Congressional action. This is no coincidence. The scenario is intended to ride an emotional wave seeking gun control. Will all this make us safer? No. Will all this prevent serial killings No. A system for universal background checks may seem like a good idea, however, such a database could, in the future, raise serious privacy concerns for gun owners. Thanks to our forefathers and the Supreme Court the Second amendment is safe ... for now.
The president has shown little respect for the separation of powers in the Constitution. Remember that his focus continues to be to centralize power in Washington.
Sooner or later the American voters, including rank and file democrats, have to decide whether the policies of this president affect their well being and expectations for themselves and their children.
Unless there is a sea change we are all in for a rocky ride. In the meantime, watch out for more White House surprises.
Fred W. Hall, Jr.
To the editor: Like many people of my age group, my siblings and I have been faced with the declining health of our mother. Although there are three of us, no one lives in the immediate area. Our mother, once a vibrant woman, could no longer keep her pills straight, safely drive her car or do many of the things that she once did without thinking twice. A very proud New Englander, it would be difficult for her to accept any help.
We were extremely fortunate to find Compassionate Companions, a small company owned by Bernadette Boy Paradis. Bernadette, a local Durham girl, left the corporate world to start a company where she saw a need. She was able to visit my mother in a non-threatening manner and started "small". She might pop in to prompt my mother about her medication, run an errand with her, take her to an appointment, or just sit and visit. Gradually, Bernadette and two of her assistants, Michele and Heather, worked their way into mom's heart.
As time went on, my mother required more services — and, thankfully, Compassionate Companions was able to provide those services. By the time my mother passed away, either Bernadette, Michele or Heather was with mom, 24 hours a day. They became part of our family and made my mother's life so very pleasant, right up to the end.
Reflecting on my mom's last four or so years, we feel nothing but happiness and gratitude for the fact that she was able to remain in her home and receive excellent and loving care. She was extremely happy and comfortable, and felt truly cared for. My mother had been in nursing homes, briefly, several times when she had infections, and was miserable each time. The only thing that made the nursing home bearable was the fact that Compassionate Companions spent all day with her and stayed until she went to sleep at night. No matter how nice a nursing home is, your parent is but one of many patients. Without her own caretaker, mom would not have had her needs met. We saw that if we had to put her in a home permanently, she would have been desperately unhappy and would not have lasted long. Her quality of life would have suffered immensely.
As you make plans for your aging parents, it is good to know there are options other than nursing homes and long term care facilities. Please think of Bernadette Boy Paradis and Compassionate Companions, or other services such as hers. I can't speak highly enough of Compassionate Companions — who truly lived up to their name! Even if you live in the area, they can help you with a myriad of things to make your life and your parent's life easier.

"If you've been paying attention to the various industry news outlets you've no doubt come across the story about the Microsoft engineer advocating Windows Server 2008 as a 'workstation' OS. According to him, if you make the right tweaks - installing the Desktop Experience feature, adding a few missing utilities, tuning the scheduler - you can turn Server 2008 into a fairly convincing Vista knock-off, one that's faster and more scalable than the original. Curious, we decided to see for ourselves just how well Server 2008 stacks-up to Vista with SP1." In addition, ExtremeTech has an article on Vista SP1 performance.

it's actually quite good. a bit corny in places. the campfire motif was nice but occasionally corny (those people under the brooklyn bridge, had a bit of a groan there, they looked like twats)
really liked the way people's names weren't listed
great black and white footage from the first LP by temple back in the day.
HATED bono. god i really thought his portentous overbearing nature had a very bright light shone on it in the context.
couldn't care less about the mescaleros, but it was nice to see the walker soundtrack and permanent record mentioned.
nothing about rock against the rich (eek)
as i very often mention joe used to say hi to me in and around the portobello (c1989) when i was a screwed-up litle thing. he was always dead sweet, very tender. a certain bit of the film (they remark that he was very depressed) really reminded me of him, and i suppose inevitably (groan) where my head used to be at.
did anyone else bump into him?
also strange how for a while acid house made a story like his kinda redundant for a period.

EA Sports shared a new trailer for NBA LIVE 14.
Ok this is making me feel better from that earlier trailer thing lol
I really want this to be the "FIFA" of basketball.
I hate 2K controls
Gotta say, this looks miles better than the crap they have released thus far. I still can't quite get a total feel for the way the game will play out. These chunks were carefully selected. But, it looks like it could be decent. Maybe a year from now it will be back to competition standards.

This coat is the best coat I own and I ever made.
I made it entirely of wool and I lined it with a blend of silk and woll in contrasting colour.
The big wood buttons are a bit triangular and it has an inner pocket.
It was a labour of love and I'm very proud of myself that it turned out exactly how I want!

We've been speaking to them under "Chatham House Rules" and have plenty of insight to share. What are issuers getting? A look at High Yield 'innovations': those issuer and sponsor friendly features that have grown in the High Yield market. Is the tide turning, or is the flow just taking a new direction? (NB: this would make an excellent extended session with "tales from the buy side.") First time high yield issuance – what to expect? We're pleased to be presenting on this topic at the upcoming AFME seminar, "European High Yield: A Spanish Perspective" in April. If you can't be in Madrid in late April, we'll bring the topic to you. Green bonds We helped green bonds to enter the EMEA high yield space. What does it take to be 'green'? Your place or ours? We would be happy to host your team for a breakfast or lunch briefing at our offices, or we can come to you in person / virtually. No group is too large or small, as we will tailor our presentation to your needs. For further information please contact the authors.

Michael Wolfe will be writing his "From a Western Minaret" occasionally for Beliefnet.
The politicization of 9/11, some say, was inevitable. I say it was a sad day in American history. The next saddest day was September 12th when America declared war on terrorism (a phantom enemy if there ever was one) in a move that gave a dormant regime in Washington an instant raison d'être. Don't get me wrong: A reason to exist is a good thing to have for any administration. Unfortunately, this one has plunged the U.S. into a naïve new international doctrine that favors bombs and garrisoned nation-states over diplomacy and caution.
I could go on. But September 11th is not about all that.
It's about Melissa Doi losing consciousness on an upper floor of the Twin Towers, down on the carpet, having trouble breathing, still on the phone with the operator.
It's about Omar Amanat, a young Manhattan businessman, who had offices in one of the Towers and who was caught in traffic that morning and couldn't get to work on time. He lost several employees to the fire, smoke, and falling buildings. A Muslim, he never went on Fox News or CNN to broadcast the haunting story of his plight.
September 11th is about the two NYPD officers portrayed in Oliver Stone's recent Hollywood movie--Will Jimeno and John McLoughlin, who were trapped in a hole and then in hospitals for months, two of only 20 souls who made it out of the buildings from among the 2,789 who did not. It's about the 2,769 who … did not. It's about their wives, children, cousins, nephews, parents, and friends.
And it's about the One Who Got Away, the sole unidentified man who escaped in the company of survivor Tom Canavan (who himself crawled 40 feet east and 30 feet up through debris to claw his way out of the rubble of the South Tower). This phantom survivor, last seen by Canavan, vanished into thin air and has not been heard from since.
By extension, September 11th is about all the others: Each of us who knew someone or had a relative who has since perished in the wearying succession of retaliations and international assaults that have passed before our eyes in the last five years. For me, personally, it's about Moustafa Al-Akaad, the Syrian-born American film director, who stretched cultural and technical boundaries to bring "The Message," a feature-film version of the Prophet Muhammad's life, to the silver screen, and who gave us the flawless historical masterpiece, "A Lion of the Desert."
Moustafa, who was attending a wedding, died in Jordan in November last year of wounds and a heart attack in the Amman hotel bombings. He died too soon. The man who made a movie called "The Message" became a message about the fruitless tragedy of random violence.
A Part of the Process
The other day I received a summons to show up for jury duty in the county where I live. At first glance there was nothing unusual about it. In the past I have sometimes skipped this small responsibility of every citizen, pleading prior "obligations." But the date on the summons this time is September 11, 2006. This time, I won't skip. Let me explain why.
In my six decades as an American, I have rarely felt well represented by American foreign policy. Today, things are worse than ever and, like a lot of people here, I feel certain that nothing I do or say will have the slightest effect. Americans by and large are reasonable people; it's a shame they have no say in their government anymore.
My government is so deeply wrapped up in big business, in oil, and in the rhetoric of xenophobic nationalism and pundit-driven paranoia that there is nothing we can do, at least until the next election. So, I'm going to show up for jury duty and make a difference where I can.
A few years ago I wrote an article suggesting that Islam might be the next big American religion. I still believe Muslims have a substantial future in the United States, but today I would place the emphasis differently: Muslims in America need to take a bigger part in the American political, social, civic, and cultural process. Since I'm a Muslim, I guess I'll get started.
Last year on September 11th, I went to a political demonstration. Though I still do feel like marching against the new militarism of America, this year I'll go to the courthouse. The chances are good I won't wind up sitting on an actual jury. Other applicants always seem to be chosen before my number comes up. But whatever happens, I'll have been consistent with what I feel these days about being a Muslim in this country: That even in the worst of times the only way your point of view will ever be reflected is if you take part in the process--any part.

Home > Patients & Visitors > Health Library > Antibiotics to Treat and Prevent Infection During Preterm Labor
During preterm labor, antibiotics may be used to treat or prevent an infection.
If an infection is causing your preterm labor, you will be treated with
antibiotics. The type used depends on which bacteria are causing the infection. The antibiotics most commonly used during pregnancy include erythromycin, clindamycin, ampicillin,
gentamicin, and metronidazole.
Antibiotics don't always clear up
uterine infection. And they don't always prevent
preterm labor. If a mother's uterus has become
infected and her fetus is mature enough, her doctor or nurse-midwife might not
try to delay the birth.
Preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM) means that your water breaks (rupture of the amniotic sac) before 37 completed weeks of
pregnancy. When given to women
with pPROM, antibiotics may:footnote 1
Antibiotics are not a recommended treatment for women in
preterm labor with intact membranes. (This means the amniotic sac has not ruptured.) But some women do get antibiotics to prevent or treat
group B strep.

FORT WALTON BEACH -- A barge crashed into the Brooks Bridge about 3:15 p.m.
FORT WALTON BEACH -- A barge crashed into the Brooks Bridge about 3:15 p.m.
The bridge is being closed to all traffic. There were cars on the bridge when the crash occured.
Some pipes that run under the bridge were struck and were leaking large amounts of water and possibly gas.
Damage is reported is reported on the west side of the bridge.
View a slideshow of the damage.
A crane on top a barge hit the west side of the bridge about 3:15 p.m.
It is unknown if there were any injuries. Firefighters and paramedics are on the scene to look for any possible injuries on the boats that were underneath the bridge.
A couple who witnessed the barge hitting the bridge said the barge kept going forward as the equipment went backwards and hit the barges behind it.
They said it took about 15 seconds for the barge to stop and reverse, but by that time concrete, rails and water had started coming down.
About two feet of the guard railing along the bridge appears to be destroyed. There is minor damage to the road, according to people at the scene.
Department of Transportation engeineers are en route to the bridge to assess the damage.
"We'll have a better idea what is going on with the bridge after we get an assessment," said Ian Satter, a spokesman for the DOT.
The Okaloosa Sheriff's Office is directing motorists to use the Mid-Bay Bridge as an alternate route.
Okaloosa County Water and Sewer Director Jeff Littrell said he and his staff are trying to reach the bridge but have been delayed by traffic congestion. Onlookers have reported water shooting from the pipes that run over the bridge.
"We don't know how bad the leaks are in the pipes," Littrell said. "We have a 16-inch water main that runs across the bridge. That is the water supply to Okaloosa Island."
Littrell said he is monitoring the water levels in the island's three water tanks and the system has not lost pressure.
"We've got 900,000 gallons of storage we can rely on. � We may need to close valves on the other side of the bridge," Littrell said, adding that he's sent workers through Niceville to reach Okaloosa Island because Brooks Bridge is closed.
All Okaloosa County School buses were across the bridge before the barge struck, according to Okaloosa County Superintendent Mary Beth Jackson.
Transportation officials are currently working on different routes for tomorrow morning, so delays are possible, she said.
Students in the county only have one more day of school before they go on spring break, so Jackson hopes they can keep inconvenience at a minimum for families.
"We'll just take it one day at a time," she said. "We'll have time over spring break to really figure it out."

Benton loses 2nd straight
BENTON – Just as in their blowout loss at El Dorado (49-25) on Tuesday, the Benton Lady Panthers held a three-point lead at halftime against the Pine Bluff Fillies at Benton Arena on Tuesday, but couldn't hold on and fell 38-36 in 7A/6A South Conference play.
"We just had a couple things not go our way," Benton Coach Jerry Chumley said. "It was a battle right there to the end. We were down, fought hard and gave ourselves a chance to tie and win it, we just didn't make it happen there at the end."
After starting conference 5-0, the Lady Panthers (13-4, 5-2) have lost two straight and led 20-17 at halftime against the Fillies (15-5, 5-2) before Ajia Richardson started to take over for Pine Bluff. With Benton leading 21-17 after junior Ashlie Dintleman hit 1 of 2 free throws, the Fillies would score six straight, the last four coming from a Richardson offensive rebound and put back, and steal and breakaway lay up due to a lazy Lady Panther pass. Dintleman would hit 2 of 2 free throws to tie it up at 23-23 with just over five minutes left in the third. Senior Allison Reynolds would put Benton up 25-24 with a layup, but Richardson responded with a 3-pointer to retake the two-point lead.
With chances to cut into Pine Bluff's advantage, Reynolds and junior Braylee Landreth each missed front ends of 1-and-1 free throws, and Richardson's younger sister, Kye, would nail a 3-pointer to give Pine Bluff a 30-25 lead after three. With six turnovers in the third quarter and free-throw misses, the Lady Panthers attempted just one shot from the field in the third quarter.
"We're not executing well at times," Chumley said. "We turned the ball over a few times. We had about 10 or 11 turnovers in the second half. That cost us a few shots and we're just not executing very well. We're not running our stuff real sharp, we're not concentrating on the little things offensively. There's times when we should be attacking and we're not, and they're times we have shots and we're not taking them. We're just really out of sync right now."
Down 33-25 with 5:38 left, Benton would get 1 of 2 free throws from Reynolds and an 8-foot jumper from Landreth, Benton's second shot of the second half, to get the Lady Panthers within 33-28 with 4:19 left. Ajia Richardson hit a 12-footer for the seven-point lead, but Benton would respond. Reynolds would get consecutive buckets and junior guard Braxton Chumley laid it in to get within one point, 35-34, with 1:28 left in the game. Benton trailed 37-36 after a Chumley bucket with 35 seconds left, Ajia Richardson hit 1 of 2 free throws for Pine Bluff's two-point advantage, but sophomore Skylar Davis' scoop shot with less than five seconds left was short and the Fillies hung on for the win.
The Lady Panthers ended up shooting 6 for 10 from the field in the second half, but Pine Bluff had 13 more shots on goal and out rebounded Benton 28-24 for the game. Benton finished 6 of 16 from the free-throw line, including 4 of 10 in the second half.
"That's probably the most disappointing thing," Coach Chumley said of the free throws. "With Pine Bluff and El Dorado, you're going to have turnovers, you're going have a difficult time running your offense because they have very athletic guards. There's nobody guarding you at the free-throw line. It's just you and your thoughts, and right now we're not up there with a solid mind. We're not looking at it as an opportunity; we may have kids dreading it (going to the free-throw line) right now. We have to change our mindset. We got there enough to win the game, and a lot of those were 1-and-1's. There's the ballgame right there."
Reynolds led the Lady Panthers with 11 points, Davis had seven, and Landreth and Chumley had six points each. Ajia Richardson had a game-high 22 points, six rebounds and three steals.
Up next for Benton will be rival Bryant Lady Hornets on Tuesday in the Saline County Shootout at Bryant Gym.
"Bryant's been playing better here lately," Chumley said. "We're out of sync. We're going to have to play better than this past week because Bryant is putting things together."

Rebuilding Red Wings' reward for advancing in NHL playoffs is mighty, top-seeded Blackhawks
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
DETROIT – The rebuilding Detroit Red Wings have advanced in the playoffs.
Detroit's reward is a daunting matchup with the NHL's top-seeded team: The seventh-seeded Red Wings will face the Blackhawks, starting with Game 1 Wednesday night in Chicago.
The Original Six matchup will be the last one in the Western Conference playoffs because Detroit is headed to the Eastern Conference next season as part of the league's realignment.
During the regular season, Chicago beat Detroit in overtime once, twice in shootouts and added a 7-1 rout March 31 at Joe Louis Arena.
Detroit's Henrik Zetterberg says Chicago is stacked with talented forwards and defenseman along with a good goalie. The captain says it'll be a tough series, but a fun one.

I have been a career and life coach for nearly 17 years now and during this time I have coached nearly 6,500 clients one-on-one. These clients range in ages from 16 years to 74 and in their station from just entering college, all the way up to CEOs. My client pool is global and I work with clients in some 23 countries. The professions they represent range from those in sales & marketing to engineering to show business. So, what have I learned from my coaching experience working with these clients? Here is my assessment of that learning:
- Dealing with Unconscious Incompetence: Most prospects that come to me suffer from this malady; they do not know what they do now know. In the early sessions (mostly the first one) my job is to move them from this state to Conscious Incompetence. This scares them into quickly grasping what they had overlooked all these years managing their career. In some cases (<20%) this is not easy. Clients hold on too tight to their beliefs, clinging on to their status quo and existing mindsets. They fight change because they do not let go and are not able to see how things would be different if they trust that the proposed change will make things easier for them as they go through this coaching process. For these clients their Aha! moment takes time to reach. Some never cross that threshold and revert back to their routines. How do I know this? Some of them call me again after five or more years asking to meet with me, yet again, promising me that this time around things would be different for them.
- Change is a Process: Some clients expect change to take place as they complete the first session (which typically lasts about two hours, after they submit their Intake Questionnaire). My metaphor for this is the dressing room at a department or clothing store. Here, people bring new clothes, try them on, and walk away with a new look. Some believe that career coaching is similar. They think that my office is a dressing room, and they can walk away after that session with a new them.
In one such case a client came without any idea of what she wanted to do next after being away from a job for 3-4 years. The Client Intake Questionnaire she completed left no doubt that the first session would be an exploration of avenues for her to pursue and I made that quire clear as we set up our first session. In that session, as we were discussing the prospects of what would be the best next move for her, based on her previous successes, she rejected all those suggestions and was disappointed that at the end of that session I was not able to give her a market-ready rsum.
Those, on the other hand, who are able to see the changes they need to make in their thinking, attitudes, and behaviors and are able work with me on a roadmap, often succeed beyond their own expectations.
- Buying motivation with money: After the first session I show clients how they can buy a block of time for my services so that it shows commitment on their part and shows that they are motivated to use those services to make the change they desire. I suggest starting with a smaller package to see how things will work for them and then deciding on larger packages to suit their ongoing needs. Some clients get so anxious that they buy large packages outright, pay the money up-front and then lose interest as they realize all the hard work that they have to do to make the change to achieve their goals.
Of course, during the first session I go through the details of all the work that they must do at each step as they navigate through this process, but once again, their unconscious incompetence gets the best of them. This is not much different from the gym memberships people buy in January each year with the misguided belief that buying long-term membership will force them to a regime. They feel that by purchasing a big block of my time will also force them to get on with the program. This does not always work for everyone. It is best to pace how you want to engage after you see the results of your efforts using the coaching approach. Not everyone succeeds in achieving their goals, but the change they undergo is lifelong.
- Running away from problems: A large fraction of my clients come to me with some work-related problem that they are struggling with. Although a few also come to me to improve their careers, leadership skills, and other attributes to better themselves, my own assessment is that this ratio is about 4:1. This means that for each group of four new clients who comes to me for coaching in need of dealing with some work-related problem there is one (the fifth one) who comes to just understand what is available for them to improve their overall effectiveness. Almost each one of those four starts typically with the premise that leaving their problem(s) behind and giving themselves a fresh start in a new job would be their best course of action. They are surprised when I advise them with my reasons for their dealing with the problem head-on, learning from it, and then deciding if they still would like to make the change they initially wanted.
The reason I suggest this approach is because, in most cases, this was not their first encounter with such a problem. Once they admit of their previous such encounterswith differing degrees of intensitythey realize that they will have to deal with yet another such episode in their future roles. Accepting their responsibility to deal with such problems helps them realize that unless they develop their skills to overcome such problems in the future they would be simply running away from their obligation to be true to themselves and to their own growth. No matter how insurmountable they felt that their problem initially was conquering it gave them the confidence they needed to deal with any suchor otherproblem they may face in their career. Deciding to then make a change to another job was often their choice after that.
- Standing up for yourself: This is one of the most common needs clients have. Many struggle with how to deal with an unreasonableor even dysfunctionalboss. Some have trouble dealing with duplicitous colleagues, many struggle with refuting their unfair Annual Performance Review (APR), and almost all struggle with unfair, even arbitrary, salary increases. Each one of these challenges needs to be addressed head-on and dealing with each requires specific strategies, knowing how to marshal the right arguments with the right language, and knowing how to get what you want, while giving the other party some benefit from getting what you got. All of this requires building new skills, which are learned through understanding the basic psychology of conflict and equipping yourself with the tools that provide you the wherewithal for you to win your argument.
The five items Ive listed above are just a few that stand out from among many valuable lessons Ive had through my coaching sessions and they serve well for the purposes of this blog. But, more importantly, there is a pervasive misapprehension about career and life coaching in that many assume that by signing-up for coaching sessions will provide them the guarantee of overcoming whatever it is that ails them, allowing them to walk away with a salve worthy of the money they spent on it. But, once they realize that they need to own their problem, find the best workable solution teaming with and trusting their coach, and then doing the heavy lifting themselves they feel much more empowered to go after their dream and free themselves of the shackles that bind them to their limiting existence. Through this process who they become is a reward worth the effort for any coach!
Good luck!
|About Author
Dilip has distinguished himself as LinkedIn's #1 career coach from among a global pool of over 1,000 peers ever since LinkedIn started ranking them professionally (LinkedIn selected 23 categories of professionals for this ranking and published this ranking from 2006 until 2012). Having worked with over 6,000 clients from all walks of professions and having worked with nearly the entire spectrum of age groups—from high-school graduates about to enter college to those in their 70s, not knowing what to do with their retirement—Dilip has developed a unique approach to bringing meaning to their professional and personal lives. Dilip's professional success lies in his ability to codify what he has learned in his own varied life (he has changed careers four times and is currently in his fifth) and from those of his clients, and to apply the essence of that learning to each coaching situation.
After getting his B.Tech. (Honors) from IIT-Bombay and Master's in electrical engineering(MSEE) from Stanford University, Dilip worked at various organizations, starting as an individual contributor and then progressing to head an engineering organization of a division of a high-tech company, with $2B in sales, in California's Silicon Valley. His current interest in coaching resulted from his career experiences spanning nearly four decades, at four very diverse organizations–and industries, including a major conglomerate in India, and from what it takes to re-invent oneself time and again, especially after a lay-off and with constraints that are beyond your control.
During the 45-plus years since his graduation, Dilip has reinvented himself time and again to explore new career horizons. When he left the corporate world, as head of engineering of a technology company, he started his own technology consulting business, helping high-tech and biotech companies streamline their product development processes. Dilip's third career was working as a marketing consultant helping Fortune-500 companies dramatically improve their sales, based on a novel concept. It is during this work that Dilip realized that the greatest challenge most corporations face is available leadership resources and effectiveness; too many followers looking up to rudderless leadership.
Dilip then decided to work with corporations helping them understand the leadership process and how to increase leadership effectiveness at every level. Soon afterwards, when the job-market tanked in Silicon Valley in 2001, Dilip changed his career track yet again and decided to work initially with many high-tech refugees, who wanted expert guidance in their reinvention and reemployment. Quickly, Dilip expanded his practice to help professionals from all walks of life.
Now in his fifth career, Dilip works with professionals in the Silicon Valley and around the world helping with reinvention to get their dream jobs or vocations. As a career counselor and life coach, Dilip's focus has been career transitions for professionals at all levels and engaging them in a purposeful pursuit. Working with them, he has developed many groundbreaking approaches to career transition that are now published in five books, his weekly blogs, and hundreds of articles. He has worked with those looking for a change in their careers–re-invention–and jobs at levels ranging from CEOs to hospital orderlies. He has developed numerous seminars and workshops to complement his individual coaching for helping others with making career and life transitions.
Dilip's central theme in his practice is to help clients discover their latent genius and then build a value proposition around it to articulate a strong verbal brand.
Throughout this journey, Dilip has come up with many groundbreaking practices such as an Inductive Résumé and the Genius Extraction Tool. Dilip owns two patents, has two publications in the Harvard Business Review and has led a CEO roundtable for Chief Executive on Customer Loyalty. Both Amazon and B&N list numerous reviews on his five books. Dilip is also listed in Who's Who, has appeared several times on CNN Headline News/Comcast Local Edition, as well as in the San Francisco Chronicle in its career columns. Dilip is a contributing writer to several publications. Dilip is a sought-after speaker at public and private forums on jobs, careers, leadership challenges, and how to be an effective leader.

Shorter time to play, and lower timeout penalty, also if they gave you less time after one player hit 50pts
Mr Intelijent Master Wednesday 19/05/2010, 13:22
How about you get an extra 10 points if someone times out/forfeits? so insted of getting 15 points because you won with a 5 star and had the rest 2 stars that you hadn't used any 2 stars you get an extra 10 points to make up for the gap because you already won, might as well get the actual points
Glowstick1717 Titan URBAN MADNESS Wednesday 19/05/2010, 14:09
Also if you time out of two games, you can't play in that room till the end of the dt
-innocence-X Guru Thursday 20/05/2010, 15:38
Glowstick that was stupid
small amount of people -> low jackpot
idea of extra points for player who won by timeout is(for me) better
lightball20 Imperator Monday 24/05/2010, 03:30
I agree with innocence, because also some people have an internet that may act up during the dt, lets say that their only good deck is t2, and their internet acts up for about mabey 10 minutes and they end up timing out of 2 games, well they cant play with their best deck anymore for that dt just because their internet acted up for a bit
i like the gain points if opponent times out, and the shorter times its always annoying when you go up agaisnt someone and they screw up so bad that the only way to win is you screw up and they end up making the count down go down to red on each turn before they play
Mr Intelijent Master Monday 24/05/2010, 10:02
Innocence-X no, that doesn;t affect the ammount of people. The normal ammount of people play in dt and if they are banned from 1 then they still count as if they are in there, 3000 people can play one battle and leave for rest of time and they are still counted
MeetZackBlack Hero Wednesday 26/05/2010, 21:32
Like the time-out idea, but maybe they can make a different room? Like, 26-28 stars is Fights type 2 and there can be a fights type 3 for higher stars? Because I've met so many 35-40 stars, and it gets SO annoying.

NCR546, New August 1994
Individuals who do work for you may be classified into one of four categories of service providers:
You, the hiring company, are the service recipient. That is, you receive the service (or product) and you pay to have that service (or product) provided to you.
Your responsibility for payment of state and federal taxes, social security tax (FICA), unemployment tax, and employee benefits depends on which of the four categories the workers fall under.
Many companies, small and large, would prefer to hire some, or even all, of their workers as independent contractors.
Some of these companies have concluded that it is much less expensive to hire workers as independent contractors rather than as employees.
When an independent contractor provides a service or product, the service recipient does not have to withhold employment taxes, pay social security taxes (FICA), or pay unemployment tax.
Independent contractors are considered self-employed. As such, they are responsible for reporting their income and paying the appropriate state and federal taxes.
The hiring company is not required to pay benefits or worry about minimum wage regulations. All the hiring company must do is file federal income tax form 1099 at the end of the year.
The 1099 is a Federal Tax Form stating the amount paid to independent contractors by the company during that year. In addition to the savings in tax, companies hiring independent contractors save the cost of the bookkeeping associated with those taxes.
The category into which the workers fit, however, is determined by the conditions under which they work and the kind of work that they do. You may not simply select a category and define them as you desire. Choosing the correct categories for the people who do work for you may be critical to the continuation of your business.
However, whether a worker is classified as an independent contractor, an employee, a statutory employee, or a statutory non-employee is not a matter of company or individual choice. The status of these workers depends not on what the workers or the service recipients want, but on what work is provided and under what conditions.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), as part of its program to collect the maximum amount of tax owed, has begun to investigate and prosecute cases where individuals are classified as independent contractors.
If, as a result of this investigation, the IRS and/or the courts, determine that the workers are actually employees, the hiring company will owe penalties, back taxes, and interest for as long as they have classified workers as independent contractors.
During the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 1989, the IRS began an experimental program under which they examined more than 16,000 business tax returns and subsequently reclassified 76,000 workers as employees. As a result, the IRS generated additional tax assessments of $93.8 million. Ninety percent or more of the companies examined during that 1989 pilot program were found to owe additional taxes.
The 1989 experiment was so successful that the IRS began using a computer program that automatically matches individuals who submit tax Form 1099 with the companies that paid them.
According to some authorities, an individual, non-employee taxpayer who reports more than $10,000 earned income from a single source is of particular interest to the IRS.
In addition, whenever an individual classified as an independent contractor receives a majority of his/her income from a single source, the "independence" of that worker is called into question and the IRS may investigate the company issuing that 1099.
From the point of view of the IRS, it is easier to collect employment taxes at the source of the wages, the hiring company, than from individual workers. In any payroll audit, the IRS looks for workers classified as independent contractors who, according to the IRS finding, are misclassified and should be employees.
The penalties for misclassifying employees as independent contractors, or consultants, are severe.
The paying company may have to pay back taxes, penalties and interest, unemployment and workers' compensation liabilities and retroactive fringe benefits.
There is no statute of limitations. If the service recipient is a sole proprietorship or partnership, the owners are personally responsible for all amounts due. Bankruptcy does not erase this debt. If the service recipient company decides to defend its position against the IRS, it will also have to pay the costs of litigation.
The IRS guidelines, which are used to help determine whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor, are somewhat vague. It is almost impossible to make a confident decision. Therefore, most cases are either determined by the IRS or go to court for official determination.
A written contract between the service provider and the service recipient may help to clarify an agreement, but it is not sufficient to make the worker an independent contractor. Situational evidence is of more importance in determining worker classification.
The list that follows gives 20 factors or "tests" used by the IRS when determining whether a person is an employee or an independent contractor.
The question of "who controls the details?" appears to be the primary basis on which the determination is made.
No single factor or small group of factors can be taken as conclusive evidence of the presence or absence of control. To determine a workers' status, all the factors must be evaluated. The weight given to the individual factors is not equal, and some factors may not apply to certain occupations.
No one factor is sufficient to determine status without consideration of the others. Although many of these factors are open to interpretation as they are written, the language used here is taken exactly from IRS documents. (IRS Publication 937, Employment Taxes and Information Returns, p. 4.)
Because final determination is made on a case-by-case basis, often in a court of law, it is very difficult to know in advance how a ruling would be made on any specific employer/contractor.
Following these factors is an examination of the four service provider categorie.
In a recent journal article in the CPA Journal. April 1992. pp. 48-55.) Alan R. Sumutka, CPA and Associate Professor of Accounting, shared his conclusions that the 20 factors are not weighted equally.
After analyzing a number of court cases, Sumutka concluded that eight of the factors are primary and can provide "very persuasive evidence of employee status" (p. 48).
What is important is whether the service provider or the service recipient has the right to control the details of the work to be performed.
Evidence of employee status is provided if the service recipient has the right to:
Or if the service provider:
If the answer to any of these factors is "yes," the IRS would probably make a case for an employee relationship between the service provider and the service recipient. If the answer to these eight factors is "no," and the answer to any of the remaining IRS factors is "yes," there is still cause for concern.
Worksheet 1, Factor evaluation questionnaire, gives the primary and secondary factors sorted and reworded according to Sumutka's determination of impact.
Worksheet 1Factor evaluation questionnaire
Under common law rules, every individual who performs services subject to the will and control of an employer, as to both what must be done and how it must be done, is an employee.
It does not matter that the employer allows the employee discretion and freedom of action, so long as the employer has the legal right to control both the methods and the result of the services.
Two usual characteristics of an employer/employee relationship are that the employer has the right to discharge the employee and the employer supplies tools and a place to work. If you have an employer/employee relationship, it makes no difference how it is described. It does not matter if the employee is called an employee, partner, co-adventurer, agent or independent contractor.
It does not matter how the payments are measured, how they are made, or what they are called. Nor does it matter whether the individual is employed full-time or part-time.
For employment tax purposes, no distinction is made between classes of employees. Superintendents, managers and other supervisory personnel are all employees. An officer of a corporation is generally an employee, but a director is not.
An officer who performs no services or performs only minor services, and neither receives nor is entitled to receive any pay, is not considered an employee.
For example, any worker who comes to your apparel manufacturing plant at the times you specify, signs in when he arrives, works at the station you assign, takes a lunch break at a time that you designate, and leaves at a prearranged time, is an employee.
Similarly, a person who comes to your place of business, picks up garment pieces and instructions on how to put them together, takes them home to sew, brings them back by a specified time, and is paid only for the acceptable finished products, is either an employee or a statutory employee. (See employment category 4 below.)
People such as lawyers, contractors, subcontractors, public stenographers, auctioneers, and others who follow an independent trade, business or profession in which they offer their services to the general public, are generally not employees.
However, whether such people are employees or independent contractors depends on the facts in each case.
The general rule is that an individual is an independent contractor if the employer has the right to control or direct only the result of the work and not the means and methods of accomplishing that result.
Independent contractors are hired to accomplish a particular job. The relationship between the hiring party and the independent contractor is contractual.
There is a written, verbal or implied contract between the two parties about what will be done and how much that service is worth. The contractor does the job, is paid and moves on to the next job under the next contract.
Independent contractors must give you a correct identification number (an employer identification number or a social security number).
If they do not, you may have to withhold, as income tax, 20 percent of the amount you pay the independent contractor.
For example, plumbers are usually independent contractors. They are in business for themselves.
When a house is being built, the builder specifies the type of plumbing to be installed and the parties agree upon a price.
The plumber does the work and submits a bill, which must be paid if the work is up to standard. If the work is not up to standard, the plumber must do it over without additional compensation.
If the plumber does not complete the work or the work is inadequate, the builder may sue the plumber for damages. The builder cannot, however, direct the step-by-step or day-to-day progress of the job or decide which days and hours the plumber will work.
The builder cannot hire additional people to help the plumber or insist that the plumber do the actual work.
The builder cannot fire the plumber in mid-job. The plumber cannot decide one day that he doesn't want to do this job and simply quit.
Both are bound by a contract that says the work must be done and the plumber must be paid. The builder does not have to hire that plumber ever again, even if the work was perfectly adequate.
If the builder does want to hire the plumber again, they negotiate a new contract for the new job.
At the end of the year, the builder files a Form 1099 with the Internal Revenue Service. This form tells the IRS how much the builder paid the plumber during that year for work that was done.
Meanwhile, the plumber must file quarterly estimated income reports with the IRS and an end-of-the-year tax return.
The plumber must pay self-employment tax on the amount of income earned. The IRS may compare the amount reported by the builder with the amount reported by the plumber.
A person who makes or trims garments in a home-based business and brings them to your consignment store to sell is an independent contractor.
You do not tell that manufacturer what to make or how many or when. You do not determine who will do the actual work. You do not set the selling price or take the risk of loss if the items do not sell. You may contract with the maker so that you both agree about how long the items will remain in your consignment store, what percentage will go to you (the seller), and whether you may mark down the items if they do not sell by a designated time.
Statutory employees are similar to independent contractors, except that they are subject to FICA.
The employer must withhold Social Security Tax on these workers and pay the employer's share, but does not withhold federal or state income tax.
The employer is not responsible for unemployment taxes, nor does he/she provide benefits to a statutory employee.
The statutory employee is responsible for filing quarterly estimated income reports and for paying taxes on income.
Workers in the following four categories may be statutory employees: (IRS Publication 937, Employment Taxes and Information Returns.)
Whether an individual worker from one of these categories is actually a statutory employee depends on how he or she stands with regard to the test for common law employment, which is described below.
According to IRS publication 937, "Individuals within any of the above four (statutory employee) categories are employees subject to social security and Medicare taxes if:" (IRS Publication 937, Employment Taxes and Information Returns.)
There is no precise definition of "little or no investment in the equipment and property used to perform the services."
The IRS has provided four factors (Internal Revenue Manual, Part IV — Audit and Investigation, Exhibit 4640-2 (May 6, 1986). Cited in Wright, Kenneth K., "Determining Employee Status." 1991. Unpublished manuscript.) to help determine whether the investment is substantial enough to disqualify the worker from the category of statutory employee:
Facilities include such items as office furniture and fixtures, premises, tools and machinery, but they do not include such items as education, training and experience, "nor do they include such tools, instruments, equipment or clothing as are commonly or frequently provided by employees with respect to their employment." (Wright Kenneth K., "Determining Employee Status." 1991. Unpublished manuscript.)
The IRS has also ruled that tools and equipment are not considered a substantial investment "if they may be used for purposes not related to the particular services being performed" on the job. (Wright Kenneth K., "Determining Employee Status." 1991. Unpublished manuscript.)
Therefore a typewriter furnished by a contract typist and a sewing machine furnished by a "merchant tailor" are not considered substantial investments in facilities.
Workers who do not meet these three requirements are either common law employees (category 1, above) or independent contractors (category 2, above).
Workers in two categories are defined as statutory non-employees: Direct sellers and licensed real estate agents. The IRS defines direct sellers as follows: (IRS Publication 911, Tax Information for Direct Sellers. 1992.)
Direct sellers sell consumer products to others on a person-to-person basis, usually working out of their own homes.
The products they sell are intended only for personal use, not for resale. They may sell door-to-door, through the sales party plan, or by appointment in someone else's home.
Their customers may be coworkers, friends, relatives or neighbors. They may sell on a regular basis or only occasionally. They may sell as full-time work or as a sideline to a regular job.
A direct seller usually signs up with a particular company to sell its product line.
The company may use one of many titles for its direct sellers, including: consultant, coordinator, dealer, demonstrator, designer, director, distributor and direct distributor, instructor, manager or supervisor, representative or sales representative.
Direct sellers are treated as self-employed for federal income tax and employment tax purposes if they meet the following two criteria: (IRS Publication 937, Employment Taxes and Information Returns.)
You are a direct seller only if you are in business for yourself. Three kinds of employment-related business taxes may apply to direct sellers: Income tax, self-employment tax and employment taxes.
You must file quarterly estimated income reports and pay estimated tax (IRS Form 1040-ES); and annual income tax (IRS Form 1040, Schedule C).
Self-employment tax is the social security and Medicare tax for those who work for themselves.
If you have employees, you will probably be required to pay employment taxes. These taxes include federal income tax, social security and medicare (FICA) taxes, and federal unemployment tax (FUTA).
For more information about these taxes, see IRS Publication 911 on Tax Information for Direct Sellers, IRS Publication 533 on self-employment tax, and IRS Publications 937 and 15 on employment taxes.
Many people use the term "homeworker" to describe where they do their work.
They may actually fall under any of the four categories of service providers described above. However, the IRS defines homeworker or Industrial Homeworker as "any employee employed or suffered or permitted to perform industrial homework for an employer."
Therefore, for tax purposes, the term homeworker applies only to people who work at home for someone else.
The Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, places many restrictions on the type of work that may be done as homework, who may be hired as a homeworker, and requires strict record keeping, including certification, by both the homeworker and the employer. For more information about restrictions on industrial homeworkers, see IRS Publication 1026.
By definition, industrial homeworkers are automatically either:
For both employees and statutory employees, the employer hires an individual and assumes that they personally will be doing the work.
However, if two or more individuals form a partnership, and that partnership is hired to perform a service or make a product, the partners are independent contractors because there can be no presumption that the work will be done solely by one or another member of the partnership.
It is important, however, that the partners do work together as a business. It is not sufficient to say that several people are partners if they contract separately, and work individually.
The hiring company faces severe penalties if the IRS and/or the courts determine that service providers being treated as independent contractors should be reclassified as employees.
However, a part of the tax law called the "safe haven" provision of Section 520 of the Revenue Act of 1978 provides some protection against liability for employment taxes, penalties and interest.
To qualify for this protection, three conditions must be met:
Whether these provisions are met will be determined, of course, by the IRS and/or the courts, which means that no individual company is guaranteed safe even if it appears that they have satisfied the requirements. Further explanations of the three provisions follow.
Tax law (Section 530 (2)) Section 530 (2) provides several standards that constitute safe havens in determining reasonable basis. These are: (Oden, Debra Hall. "Independent Contractor: A Legitimate Classification with Reclassification Protection." Taxes. May 1991. pp. 319-325.)
Tax law (Section 530 (a)(1)(A).) requires that the employer not treat the service provider as an employee for any time period after Dec. 31, 1977.
If, while the company is under investigation, it anticipates a negative ruling from the IRS and withholds employment taxes or files current employment tax returns, by doing so it has treated the Service Provider as an employee and has violated this "consistent treatment" requirement.
In addition, "If all substantially similar workers are treated as independent contractors, then all the workers are covered under the safe-haven protection. If, however, some workers holding substantially similar positions are treated as employees, then none of the workers is covered under the safe-haven provisions." (Oden, Debra Hall. "Independent Contractor: A Legitimate Classification with Reclassification Protection." Taxes. May 1991. pp. 319-325.)
The third requirement for safe haven protection is that the taxpayer must have filed all required federal tax returns and that the employee status used on those returns must have been independent contractor. If the worker has failed to file self-employment tax returns, that failure may disqualify the company from protection under these safe haven provisions of the federal tax law.
In addition, the employer must have filed Form 1099-Misc. to report fees, commissions or other payments made to independent contractors who are either sole proprietors or partnerships, on payment totalling $600 or more in a calendar year. If the employer has filed a W-2, Wage and Tax Statement for any individual, then that individual has been treated as an employee and the employer would not be able to rely on the safe haven provisions of this section.
The courts and the IRS have held that "what you call it" does not affect what it really is. Giving a worker the title "independent contractor" makes no difference in the ruling if the worker is in a situation that fits the definition of employee or statutory employee. The same is true for written contracts. If the worker appears to be dependent upon the company, a contract stating that he or she is an independent contractor will not deter the IRS from ruling that that worker is really an employee.
It is important that each service recipient and service provider study the guidelines carefully and/or consult a qualified accountant or tax attorney before deciding that the independent contractor classification is appropriate for your use. The IRS suggests that service recipients and service providers use Form SS-8: Determination of Employee Work Status for Purposes of Federal Employment Taxes and Income Tax Withholding (included in this publication).
You may wish to complete this form for your own purposes and/or you may wish to submit it to the IRS for an official ruling. Note that it is not anonymous and becomes a part of IRS records.
Several suggestions have been offered by various tax accountants and certified public accountants for steps companies can take to strengthen their claims that service providers are independent contractors.
These suggestions are not guaranteed to protect you against an IRS claim that the worker is actually an employee.
The suggestions that follow were adapted from an article by Roth and Biebl. (Roth, Randall W. and Biebl, Andrew R. "How to Avoid Getting Caught in the IRS Crackdown." Journal of Accountancy. May 1991. pp. 35-36, 39.)
Service providers who wish to be taken seriously as independent contractors may do several things to further their cause. Independent contractors should be independent businesses operating in a professional manner. The IRS will expect evidence of this. Contractors should consider the following:

Heart disease is a killer, but you can do plenty to reduce your risk and prolong your life. Research shows that making lifestyle changes can lower your risk for heart disease.
Adopting heart-healthy habits over the next 12 weeks will start you on the road to better health and a longer life.
Week 1: Commit to getting fit. The American Heart Association (AHA) reports that a large number of deaths each year result from not getting regular physical activity. Try to start exercising 3 times a week. Be sure to check with your doctor first if you haven't been exercising regularly. Build to 150 minutes weekly of moderate activity. The more you can exercise, the greater the benefit to your health.
Week 2: Stop smoking. You can have the most positive impact on your heart health by quitting smoking. It's also one of the hardest changes to make, so sign up for a smoking cessation program. If you don't smoke, make an effort to avoid secondhand smoke. Being around smoke can increase your risk for heart disease.
Week 3: Eat less fat. Fat is the most concentrated form of energy and calories. Cutting back on fat helps you lose weight and reduces your risk for heart disease and some forms of cancer.
Week 4: Limit how much saturated fat you eat. Lowering the amount of saturated fat in your diet is one of the best ways to lower your LDL ("bad") cholesterol. Saturated fats are a main contributor to heart disease. Aim for getting no more than 10% of your daily calories from saturated fat. If your daily calorie goal is about 2,000 calories, saturated fats should make up no more than 200 calories of that total. Choose lean cuts of meat and low-fat dairy, and use oils instead of solid fats. Limit baked goods, processed meats, and fried foods.
Week 5: Improve your cholesterol levels. Make sure your daily menu includes plenty of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and low-fat dairy. Choose fish and skinless chicken instead of fatty cuts of red meat. Add beans (legumes) to your diet, and use soft (tub) margarine, canola oil, and olive oil in moderate amounts. Limit sweets and sugar-sweetened drinks.
Week 6: Eat less salt (sodium). The average American age 2 or older has twice the recommended amount of sodium per day. Most sodium comes from salt added during food processing. Salt added at the table and in cooking is only a small portion of the total sodium that Americans consume. The AHA recommends that all Americans limit their sodium intake to 2,400 mg per day. Leave the saltshaker off the table and eat fewer processed foods.
Week 7: Eat more fiber. Fruits, vegetables, and whole grains contain dietary fiber. Depending on your recommended daily calories, work up to 3 ounces to 5 ounces of whole grains, 2 cups of fruits, and 3 cups of vegetables each day. Drink more fluids to avoid constipation. High-fiber foods help keep cholesterol in check.
Week 8: De-stress. Stress increases your risk for heart disease and speeds its progression. People who are constantly angry or stressed have higher rises in blood pressure than people who aren't. This constant unrest can damage the heart. Be aware of stress and find ways to control it.
Week 9: Become a savvy grocery shopper. Most foods include important nutrition information on their labels. Paying attention to these numbers will help make sure you eat healthfully.
Week 10: Find a new activity. This week, try a new sport or activity you enjoy. You might enjoy water-walking, circuit training, inline skating, or slide aerobics.
Week 11: Know what's on the menu. When you eat out, try to eat as well as you do at home. Ask your server how food is prepared. Avoid cream sauces, cheese sauces, and fried foods. Choose broiled, steamed, or stir-fried dishes.
Week 12: Eat breakfast every day. Everyone needs energy first thing in the morning, yet many people skip breakfast. Plan ahead and have healthy foods ready to go.

Build a new kernel for the HG LinkStation
From NAS-Central Buffalo - The Linkstation Wiki
|PowerPC Only
|This method only works for the powerpc-hdhlan and powerpc-hdhglan LinkStations.
This article is for people that want to build a new kernel for the LinkStation. We will use the powerpc-hdhglan LinkStation for our example.
This article assumes that you have installed Projects/OpenLink or Projects/FreeLink and the appropriate development tools. You also will need the kernel source code, a working kernel .config, and any applicable patches. You may download them from [here].
Cross-Toolchain | You can build the kernel and kernel modules much, much faster by using a cross-toolchain.
- Extract the kernel source code somewhere sensible. Mine lives in /mnt/ somewhere with an alias to it from /usr/src/linux to keep it off the tiny system partition:
tar -xvzf linux-sources-2.4.20-lsw-ppc-hg1.tgz mkdir /usr/src ln -s /path/to/kernel/directory /usr/src/linux cd /usr/src/linux@@
- Copy the kernel .config to the kernel source directory then run:
make menuconfig
- You can add/remove features to/from the kernel. Note that the supplied kernel .config will build properly so any errors when compiling are most likely due to your modifications.
- Compile the kernel. Make sure you have something else to amuse you because this takes a while:
make oldconfig make dep make objcopy -O binary vmlinux
- Compile the kernel modules. This step may take some time depending on the modules you selected:
make modules make modules_install
- Now copy the kernel modules to the correct place:
cp -r release_modules/lib/modules/2.4.20_mvl31-linkstationwiki-hg1/ /lib/modules/
- Load your new kernel using the kernel loader how-to. Then build the kernel module dependencies:
depmod -a
- You should now have a working kernel replacement and be able to load some shiny new kernel modules!
Jochang included some useful information in his [loader how-to]. Also Trevor Powdrell from the Kuro forums wrote a [patch] that allows the powerpc-hdhglan kernel to compile under GCC 3.3/3.4.
