§ Mr. Hordern
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to what extent his proposed capital gains tax will be paid both by a company and its shareholders; whether a company will be liable for corporation tax on franked income; whether trusts which pay no Income Tax will be liable for corporation tax; whether the element of capital appreciation in a redeemable security running to maturity will be liable to capital gains tax; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Stratton Mills
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) if he will prepare a scheme to limit the tax liability of executors under the proposed capital gains tax when they have to sell assets to pay Estate Duty which have already been assessed on their increased value; and if he will ensure that the total liability thereon is not more than either the estate duty or the capital gains tax assessment;
(2) if, when preparing the proposed capital gains tax legislation, he will make adjustment for depreciation in the value of money between Budget Day 1965 and the sale of the asset;
(3) if, when preparing the proposed corporation tax, he will take account of those companies which have a high ratio | of preference capital; and if he will give an assurance that they will not be placed at a disadvantage.

People vote inside booths during the elections in Thessaloniki, June 17, 2012. (Nikolas Giakoumidis/AP)

Bharatan is the traditional religion of Elves. It focuses on the moon goddess Bharata, Mistress of the Dance and Lady of the Underworld. The religion warns against overweening ambition, and preaches a wandering lifestyle free of attachments. Meditation and dance are taught as ways to accept and thereby overcome death.
Although Elves are often scorned throughout the Empire, their religion does garner respect in some intellectual circles. It has been an influence on Atmahan, Thauma-V | irun, and Tathatan, as well as on various martial arts such as Water Wheel Style. The figure of the meditative sage is thought to derive from ancient Elven models. Today there are intellectuals of various races that give up their possessions to wander according to the Bharatan way.
The follower of Bharatan endeavors to live without overweening ambition, which leads one to fall out of balance with nature. Establishing oneself in one place and amassing many possessions creates a rigid, defensive, and covetous heart.

About Michelangelo: A Genius as Severe as it was Fertile
Michelangelo Buonarroti’s (1475–1564) adolescent mind was an incessant battlefield. The opposing forces of religious faith and pagan beauty warred across his consciousness. They also helped spur him to create a pantheon of artistic masterpieces.

After some time away, I have decided--like all great divas--to make a grand return. That's right, I'm coming back to the blogging world. I slowed down to focus on some other projects, but it's time to blog once again.

Islamophobia In The American Heartland?

”. The American Muslim has been referred to as a fundamentalist American Muslim magazine and website.
On July 21, 2007 Jihad Watch posted an article by Hugh Fitzgerald regarding Bob Crane’s recent article in TAM. The article opens with the following statement:
“Former Nixon aide Robert D. Crane is a convert to Islam, and his biography—the one he himself composed—shows other evidence of mental bizarrerie (to see it, google “Robert D. Crane” and “Posted by Hugh” and “Jihad Watch”). He has a vested interest in protecting Islam, and protecting as well his own emotional investment in Islam, as a convert. At this point, he is unlikely to say—it would be impossible for him to say, given his mental makeup, to say or even to allow himself a glimmer of a hint of saying or thinking anything like this: “Yes, you’re right, I ‘reverted’ to something I did not understand.”

The bishops recommend a fmailiarity with good work done elsewhere. Sound advice:
§ 193 § Before people make architectural and liturgical decisions, they need some experience of the broad spectrum of architectural designs already in new and renovated churches. People’s preferences are often determined by things with which they are familiar. Visits to a variety of churches can help them to develop a store of images that they can evaluate and consider as potential options for the building project in their own parish.
§ 194 § Although the visits should not be confined to the work of architects or liturgical consultants under consideration for their project, people will want to visit churches that demonstrate the candidates’ work. Gaining knowledge of a professional’s previous work, whether religious or secular, is indispensable to the process of selecting the architect.
§ 195 § When actual site visits are not possible, slides, videos, and other visual aids can expand the experience of those preparing for the building or renovation of a church. Liturgical and construction offices within the diocese also can be invaluable resources in advising parish building committees of recent or exemplary projects in the local area.
One important piece is to check the references of | architects, contractors, and artists among church projects they have done. It is useful to get a good sense on how other churches have worked with professionals. In my current parish, we are looking to upgrade the sound system from the fire-damaged former set-up. In speaking with consultants, we were less impressed with eight-figure projects for convention centers, arenas, or even megachurches. We wanted people with church experience, preferably Catholic. We also asked churches for their assessment in working with professionals.

From the First Nobel Prize Award Ceremony, 1901
by Folke Henschen*
On 10 December 1975 the 75th Nobel banquet was held. On that day, Folke Henschen told radio listeners his personal memories of the very first Nobel Prize awards, which he experienced as a student marshal. What follows here is a more detailed version.
After long protracted negotiations, partly with the French government (which sought to impose a very hefty tax on the Nobel estate) and partly with the Nobel family, the first awarding of five Nobel Prizes could finally take place on 10 December 1901 – four of them given out in Stockholm and one, the Peace Prize, in Christiania, as Oslo was then called. Five years had passed since Alfred Nobel had died in San Remo, on 10 December 1896.
In the days leading up to the awarding of prizes, there was certain tension in the air. The Nobel Laureates' names had been kept secret – they were not, as now, revealed months in advance. When three distinguished German – speaking gentlemen arrived by train from the south and were taken to the Grand Hotel, | it was clear that they must be the Nobel Laureates. International traffic was not as commonplace then as now.

School board studies loan
Interest-free fund would tide district over while waiting for property tax
The Re-1 school board Tuesday night heard about a program through which the district could borrow money at zero percent interest while waiting for property taxes to roll in each year.
Chief Financial Officer Melissa Brunner told the board about the state treasurer’s program that would allow the district to borrow about $2.6 million in early 2013 to help continue to pay for expenses while waiting for the funds from property taxes.
RBC Capital Markets in Denver is the manager of the program, which 22 Colorado school districts used in 2011-12.
Brunner explained that the resolution she was recommending the board approve would give the Re-1 school district a cushion while waiting for annual property-tax receipts to become available, usually beginning in April.
She explained that school district funds are often depleted one to two months before the funds from property taxes become available, and added that she knew the district had not taken | advantage of this program in the 15 years she has worked for the Re-1.
Board member Beth Howell wanted to know if it was possible that the district might not be able to repay the loan, and what would happen in that situation.
Brunner said safeguards are in place, and the district would | [

The thesis of this book is that science and theology have profound interactions with each other. I have chosen to use the term scientific theology for the synthesis I will describe.

Part of what I | mean by scientific theology is a theology that interacts with science. It takes the findings of science into account, and it has something to say to science. Science and theology both approximate truth, and therefore must fit together harmoniously where they overlap. We do not have one truth for science and another for theology.

Since 1968 I've made over thirty short films, videos, performances and installations. My early work drew upon my background in mathematics and explored the boundaries of time, space, and perception. I then became interested in language as a subject and generated a substantial body of work that played with the feel and form of sense, concrete texts, political satire, and a kind of intellectual comedy. Simultaneously, I made a number of works that functioned in the public domain: video installations and documentaries on public art.

Lifelong Durango resident Naomi Faye Hiner died Friday, Dec. 7, 2012, at her home on the Florida Mesa. She was 12 days shy of her 88th birthday.
Mrs. Hiner was born to Foy and Annie Thompson on Dec. 19, 1924, in Durango. She was the youngest of three girls. She graduated from Durango High School in 1942.
In October 1944, she married Floyd Andrews in Durango, and they had two sons together. The marriage later ended in divorce.
In August 1955, she married Ellis Hiner in Aztec, and they had three children together.
“Naomi is best known from her years as a clerk at south City Market, where she worked from 1969 until her retirement in 1982,” her family said.
Mrs. Hiner later worked part time at Forget Me Knot Fabric store and Durango National Bank, which became the Bank of Durango and was later purchased by First National Bank of Durango.
Her hobbies included genealogy, sewing, quilting, gardening and rock club. She looked | forward to a monthly get-together with high school classmates, her family said. The group affectionately referred to themselves as “The Remnants.”
Mrs. Hiner was preceded in death by her husband of 16 years, Ellis Hiner, in July 1971.
She is survived by her sons Raymond Andrews and Ronald Andrews, both of Durango, and Dean Hiner of Springfield, Mo.; daughters Jan Parsons and Kelly Brown, both of Durango; nine grandchildren; and 12 great-grandchildren.

Despite an entire Monday spent extolling the many virtues of cardboard furniture (although dingy brownness was not one of them), I am still in a recycling state of mind, possibly because all the trash floating down our street is making me sick. No more Church’s Chicken cups, beer cans and gross dirty band aids in my yard, please! While I haven’t found a use for old band aids yet (and I’m sure I never will), I have found a veritable cornucopia of cool items designed from repurposed materials.

CES keynote: People today are 'born mobile'
Mobile technology seeping into automated homes, smart TVs, cars
Mobile technology is no longer limited to laptops, smartphones and tablets. It's seeping into every corner of our lives, including television and movies, cars, the workplace, health care, education and eventually our bodies.
This expansion of mobile, and its next | generation of highly mobile tech users, were the subject of Monday's Consumer Electronics Show keynote. Delivered by chip maker Qualcomm's chief executive Paul Jacobs, the talk marked the official kickoff of the show, which opens its doors Tuesday morning.
The CES keynote address was previously handled by Microsoft, a company whose products are instantly familiar to consumers around the world. Successor Qualcomm isn't a household name, even though it says it has shipped 11 billion chips in its 27 years and its mobile processors power the mobile devices you use everyday.

In any case, let's catch up with what happened after that, shall we? The Veto ceremony is done, and Joe is sure that he's on the block as a pawn - for once, he's actually right about something, but only because it's Frank he's up against. As for Frank, he's sure he's got the votes needed to get through this eviction as he's got that deal with Dan, Danielle and Jenn. Little does he know...
You've got to hand it to Dan, though - he's playing his role well. They talk in the kitchen, with Dan saying that he's just sorry Frank can't play in the Head of Household competition next week. He then lets slip something about Joe "pulling off a miracle" and staying, which makes Frank a bit paranoid (rightfully so). Meanwhile outside, Ian is trying to convince Joe that he has to keep quiet and "lay low" for the rest of the week so as not to mess up their plan of blindsiding Frank. Joe also lets off the most maniacal laugh when | he compares Frank to Houdini for his constant escapes from elimination and Ian replies that "Houdini died young".
Later that evening, Dan is getting cold feet about his elimination plan as he thinks he has a huge "margin of error". He talks to Joe in the bedroom about who he'll nominate next week, privately revealing that Dan is his target (though he obviously tells Dan otherwise). However, it falls apart later that night when Dan comes into bed and Joe tells him in the pitch black room that Dan cornered him, thinking that he's Shane. Ha!

Hi. I'm not your usual Chuck blogger. Sorry about that. Steve decided to sit tonight out because he predicted he'd be too overwhelmed by the continuing greatness of Heroes to talk about any other show.
I'm assuming Steve was watching, at any rate. If not he missed a pretty good, if slightly-less-than-top-quality episode of one of the most predictably entertaining hours on television. Why less-than-top quality? I think the Chuck/Sarah relationship is starting to go around in circles, and not in a fun, merry-go-round kind of way. Chuck feels the need to get out of his fake relationship with Sarah unless he can find a way to turn it into a real relationship, which can't happen because of their spy work, even though Sarah seems to have some feelings for Chuck as well. How long can this dynamic be sustained without turning into a fun, action/comedy version of No Exit? Maybe I should just have faith that Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak know this is going somewhere, but I felt like we've been over this turf before, and recently.
That said, there was nothing really wrong with the way this episode treated Chuck and Sarah, and really nothing wrong | with the way Zachary Levi and Yvonne Strahovski played it, particularly the long sequence in which our hero is forced to listen to Sarah make out with the titular beefcake (Jonathan Cake). Hell is a dependable eavesdropping device.

A court in China has ruled that the conviction of a retired civil servant-turned-blogger who posted a poem mocking disgraced politician Bo Xilai and was sent to a labor camp for one year in 2011 for “inciting social disturbances” was illegal.
Fang Hong, 51, who was freed from a detention facility on April 24, brought a case against his conviction in the south-western city of Chongqing, where a court dismissed his conviction for lack of evidence on Friday.

Should you 'winterize' your pet?
(BPT) - The arrival of autumn signals many changes in the household, from switching from salads to soups to pulling sweaters out of storage to changing furnace filters. With pets, however, you may need to think as much about what you don’t change as what you do.
Chicago veterinarian Dr. Shelly Rubin is well acquainted with the dramatic temperature swings that accompany the change of seasons, as well as how to help pets and owners cope with them. Following is his list of fall do's and don’ts for pet owners.
* Don’t “fall” off the exercise wagon. With days getting shorter – and cooler – it can be tempting to skip your early morning or evening walk. But with more than half of all pets in the U.S. being overweight or obese, exercise is vital. A daily walk, | or several shorter walks, can rev the metabolism of both two- and four-legged walkers for hours.
* Do ensure your pet is outfitted for cooler weather. Small, light-bodied breeds, dogs with very short hair and older dogs with weakened immune systems are likely to need a sweater | [

There are enough quality young players of colour in South Africa to ensure quotas are no longer necessary at schools level, writes GRANT BALL in SA Rugby magazine.
The U18 Craven Week is meant to be the pinnacle of the South African schoolboy rugby season, but since its inception in 1964, its selection system has been flawed. In the early days, during apartheid, the best black schoolboys weren’t allowed to play, and in post-1994 South Africa, some of the best white players have missed out, in many cases because of the quota system.
For this year’s Craven Week held in Welkom, nine of the players in each 22-man squad had to be players of colour, with five on the field for the entire match on day one, four on day two, and five | again on the Saturday.
However, the 50-50 racial quota for the SA Schools side was scrapped this year. Fourteen white players were named in the match 22 and the general consensus was that all eight players of colour had been selected on merit.

I love children’s literature. If I didn’t have a child to read to, I’d just have to sit in the children’s section of the library without one. And of course, we have a large bookshelf full of the books we loved as kids.
The characters and the authors of these books are overwhelmingly white. Most of them were written before 1975, many long before, and few publishers then sought out people of color, or encouraged them when they came along. For that matter, as of 2001, one editor writes here, there were still very few African-American writers and illustrators in the field, and a 2007 book by an education professor observes the same thing. And yet, John Steptoe, who wrote and illustrated the gorgeous Mufaro’s Beautiful Daughters during his sadly short career, said plainly: | “I am not an exception to the rule among my race of people. I am the rule. By that I mean there are a great many others like me where I come from.”

I've been spending the last few days trying to get some thoughts together about a section of Diogenes Laertius book nine (9.67-73) where he mentions various earlier philosophers that were apparently admired by Pyrrho and then lists some poets and philosophers who might be thought to anticipate Pyrrhonism in one way or another. It's all for an interesting conference in October. (That will also be the first conference I will attend via video-conferencing, because it's mostly happening in New York and I can't get away in the first week or so of our term.)

Arthritic food poisoning
Ordinarily, food poisoning causes little more than an intense though short-lived bout of intestinal distress -- often
including vomiting, diarrhea, and sometimes a headachy fever. However, microbiologist James L. Smith says, "I am a firm
believer that food poisoning is more than a simple inconvenience," especially for that small share of the sufferers who
go on to develop additional, more lasting discomfort, such as reactive arthritis.
Since retiring from federal service with the Agricultural Research Service 6 years ago, he's been researching the link
between food poisoning and this disease at his former agency's Microbial Food Safety Research Unit, in Wyndmoor, Pa.
Most bacterially triggered arthritis traces to germs that infect the joints. As the bugs multiply, they cause a local
inflammation and destruction of joint tissue. With the food poisoning bacteria Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, and
Yersinia, a different arthritis may occur. Here, affected joints harbor no germs, only some toxins the bacteria produce.
Our immune systems target the toxins for | destruction, often with mechanisms that provoke local inflammation.
This Salmonella bacterium, just half a millionth of a meter wide, can cause gut-wrenching food poisoning.

The show opens with Olivia possessed by William Bell sitting in the lab hooked up to wires. Peter is sputtering around mad. Walter and Bellivia share chuckles and discuss how Bell’s brainwaves are active while Olivia’s sleep inside Olivia’s body. After hitting on Astrid, which seemed like something the writer’s thought an old man in a young woman’s body would do, as opposed to something that Bell would actually do, Bell bargains with Agent Broyles to remain in Olivia’s body for 48 hours while he and Walter search for a comatose patient into which to transfer Bell’s life essence.
The jokes about being a man in a woman’s body were par for the course cliche and I didn’t really find the comments about bras being constraining all that enlightened or amusing.

Karen Kingsbury loves bookstores. She loves the smell of ink on the page, the feel of the books, the experience of stepping into a place that feels like home. But the prolific author of myriad bestselling novels also knows that bookstores are struggling in an evolving marketplace.
“As I watched bookstores close, I began to wonder how that felt for the owners. Owning a bookstore was their dream and now they’re struggling and seeing those dreams fall apart,” says Kingsbury.
The Bridge (Simon & Schuster/Howard Books, Oct.) is Kingsbury’s tribute to bookstores and their owners, who still dream of bringing books to eager readers. While she created a fictional store in Franklin, Tenn., it was modeled on a bookstore she visited in that town while on a book tour.
Kingsbury adds her signature touch of romance to the tale of Charlie and Donna Barton’s bookstore, The Bridge. The store becomes a second home to Molly Allen and Ryan Kelly, college students whose paths diverge after two years at school, but whose futures don | ’t look promising until they meet once again at The Bridge, which is perilously close to closing forever.
Simon & Schuster, parent of Howard Books, is taking The Bridge deep into the general market, a plan that thrills Kingsbury. Her books have appeared repeatedly on the Publishers Weekly bestseller lists, but her primary market has been Christian readers.
“The general market wants what I do,” says Kingsbury. “I haven’t changed anything and will include a faith message. Simon & Schuster wants to introduce me to | [

Cultural festivals give Arizona visitors an up-close view of native cultures. Rooted in both ancient communities and modern trends, these festivals are the perfect venue to learn more about tribal culture. Here’s a guide to some of Arizona’s tribal festivals.
The Havasupai Tribe, or People of the Blue-Green Water, holds the Peach Festival each August. In addition to the Miss Havasupai Pageant, this Grand Canyon tribe also hosts traditional dancers, including the Guardians of the Grand Canyon, during its three-day festival.
In October, head west to Parker and join in the festivities during National Native American Days. This festival, held by the Colorado River Indian Tribes, is a great way to learn more about the four tribal cultures – the Mohave, Chemehuevi, Navajo and Hopi – who share this harsh yet beautiful land.
The Cocopah Tribe invites all to celebrate its ancient culture during the Cocopah Cultural Celebration in October. Experience the Cocopah culture with bird singers and other cultural performances, a shinney (similar to field hockey) exhibition game by Cocopah youth, and local foods.

Original Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/fibromyalgia/DS00079
Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. Researchers believe that fibromyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your brain processes pain signals.
Symptoms sometimes begin after a physical trauma, surgery, infection or significant psychological stress. In other cases, symptoms gradually accumulate over time with no single triggering event.
Women are much more likely to develop | fibromyalgia than are men. Many people who have fibromyalgia also have tension headaches, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety and depression.

The District of Columbia Council approved legislation on Jan. 8 that would require pharmaceutical sales representatives to obtain licenses to operate within city limits, The Washington Post reports.
The measure is a first for any jurisdiction in the country. The narrow 7-to-6 vote marked both a loss and a victory for the pharmaceutical industry and the data-collection firms that lobbied the council to reverse its initial affirmative vote last month.
The council was able to strip the bill of earlier language offered by Independent Council member David A. Catania that would have banned the use of doctors' prescription data for marketing purposes without their consent.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has been a loud, at times obnoxious, critic of serious efforts to strengthen regulations of the financial industry. Specifically he has fought the Volcker rule, which would bar federally insured banks from risky trading ventures, similar to the ones that Dimon’s bank engaged in that led to a multi-billion dollar loss.
Dimon is also on the board of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which is instrumental in supervising and regulating financial institutions. A growing number of people, including Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, are suggesting that Dimon is unfit to serve on the board of an institution that is charged with checking the actions of JPMorgan, which as The New York Times has noted emerged from the Great Recession as “the nation’s biggest bank.”

Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) Project
Project DescriptionThe Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) is an Explorer mission
that was managed by the Office of Space Science Mission and
Payload Development Division of the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA).
The Earth is constantly bombarded with a stream of accelerated
particles arriving not only from the Sun, but also from
interstellar and galactic sources. Study of these energetic
particles will contribute to our understanding of the formation
and evolution of the solar system as well as the astrophysical
processes involved. The Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE)
spacecraft carrying six high-resolution sensors and three
monitoring instruments samples low-energy particles of solar
origin and high-energy galactic particles with a collecting
power 10 to 1000 times greater than past or planned experiments.
From a v | antage point approximately 1/100 of the distance from
the Earth to the Sun ACE performs measurements over a wide range
of energy and nuclear mass, under all solar wind flow conditions
and during both large and small particle events including solar
flares. ACE provides near-real-time solar wind information over
short time periods. When reporting space weather ACE can provide
an advance warning (about one hour) of geomagnetic storms that
can overload power grids, disrupt communications on Earth, and
present a hazard to astronauts.

DOWNEY - A registered nurse at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Downey was arrested Thursday, accused of sexually assaulting patients, police said.
Dean Trinh Ngo, 35, was booked on four felony counts of sexual battery and released on $100,000 bail the same day, said Lt. Dean Milligan, spokesman with the Downey Police Department.
Downey police detectives launched an investigation July 26 after a woman reported she was sexually assaulted while recovering from surgery at the Kaiser hospital, Milligan said.
Downey police detectives and Kaiser | Permanente staff identified Ngo as a suspect in the sexual assault and he was immediately suspended and placed on administrative leave, Milligan said.
During the investigation, Downey detectives and Kaiser Permanente staff found another assault may have occurred June 2 on a female patient who was also recovering from surgery at the hospital, Milligan said.
Anyone with information about these or other possible incidents is asked to call Downey police Detective Jaime Pelayo, 562-904-2335, or Sgt. Dwayne Cooper, 562-904-2340.

From olive oil production to digital simulations and e-games. A simple journey.
Olive picking. It’s around December every year. In the Kalamata region, the annual olive oil production exceeds 25,000 tons.
